In Loving Memory of Catherine Silverstone
Posted on May 21, 2021 by Kim Solga
Friends, it's that time again: time for our summer hiatus. Those of you who have been longtime readers know that Kelsey and I have been on a journey these past two years to begin transforming The AC into a community-owned space, one that can reflect more than just the teacherly musings of two White women working in central Canada. That process has been up and down, but 24 months later, we have a plan. We will share more details about that plan as our work evolves, but we will say now that it rests on two principals: turning this space over to a broad range of new voices, and setting those new voices up for success by providing as much material support as we can.
Those two things – ceding space for new voices, and holding that space with proper support so that those voices can stand up and be heard – are essential components of all great pedagogy. I learned this from someone our community of theatre and performance scholars lost on 4 October last year: Dr Catherine Silverstone, Professor of Contemporary Theatre at Queen Mary, University of London.
Catherine smiles into the sun.
Dearly missed!
Although I was *technically* senior to Catherine when we worked together at QM in the early 2010s, I instantly found her to be a teaching mentor. Cat was, simply, the finest teacher I've ever known.
It was therefore my honour and privilege to be asked, shortly after Cat's death, to prepare a tribute to her for Contemporary Theatre Review's Backpages section. I knew right away that the tribute had to foreground Cat the teacher, and I knew too that I had to involve her students in its making. In late October we gathered on Zoom, still wet with our tears, to share joyous memories of Cat's leadership inside and outside the classroom, her remarkable humility and grace, and her exceptional capacity for listening, learning, and making space for and with students (including student-peers like me).
I received the offprints of our finished work yesterday, and it's my pleasure to share (with permission) the text with folks here on the AC.
Read and remember a remarkable scholar and teacher; think of your own teaching mentors; and remember, too, the hard hard work we've all come through, knowing better days will come, and will come soon. See you in September.
– Kim and Kelsey

Pedagogies of Care: Remembering Catherine Silverstone
By Kim Solga, with support from Mojisola Adebayo, Catriona Fallow, Caoimhe Mader McGuinness, Sarah Mullan, Anna Sereni, Ben Walters, and Joseph Winer
A hot summer evening, and I'm rushing; I'm late for dinner with my new colleague Catherine Silverstone. I should have arrived ten minutes ago, but I misjudged, as usual, the length of my journey, and now I'm running desperately from London Bridge station, rounding at speed onto Bermondsey High Street, panicking as the minutes tick by. What will she think of me, stupidly late for a meal she's arranged to help orient me to my new gig at Queen Mary? Sweat cleaves to me in the gently waning sunlight as I collide with bins and people along the pavement, finally arriving, panting, out of breath, mortified.
And there she is: sitting quietly at a window open to the breeze, with a glass of wine and her phone, patiently waiting. Instead of even a hint of frustration she offers me the biggest smile, a chair, her open arms. If I've inconvenienced her there's no sign of it; no sign of frustration or bother at all. I'm instantly calmer, and I'm instantly present to her. We begin to chat like old friends, even though we are not that – not yet anyway. But we will be.
This was the Catherine I knew: abundantly generous, consummately professional yet also high-spirited and cheeky, never less than fully human. No detail was too small for Catherine's attention; all the little things, as she knew, mattered. And so did every student matter because, as Catherine understood, from our students we have so very much to learn. So, when CTR approached me to craft a short remembrance for Catherine, I knew it had to centre her students—as she never failed to do. I've shaped the reflections that follow from memories shared by Mojisola Adebayo, Catriona Fallow, Caoimhe Mader McGuinness, Sarah Mullan, Anna Sereni, Ben Walters, and Joseph Winer during a chat on 30 October 2020. My heartfelt thanks to them all.
Many peers knew Catherine as a passionate, eclectic scholar, as at home with Shakespeare as with Derek Jarman. Her students, however, know something more: that for Catherine, there was no hierarchy among the many elements of her labour. All were—as she would turn her favourite phrase, with a glint in her eye—"good times."
Jarman and Shakespeare were as important to Catherine as the work of preparing quality class materials, of attending (as Director of Teaching and Learning in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary) to student concerns over water fountains and malfunctioning microwaves, of reading PhD chapters with such care that each sentence might warrant comments or track changes (something lovingly known as "being Silverstoned"). This equivalence was, for Catherine, political: nobody has the energy to interrogate the elitist structures separating "the Bard" from the amazing queer artists who follow if they haven't had a warm lunch or a proper drink of water. As HE teachers it was our duty to attend to it all.
The cover of Cat's first book, Tragedy in Transition, edited with Sarah Annes Brown
What's at Stake?
Ben remembers Catherine asking him this all-important question during a supervision; it resonates with all of us, and "it will never be out of me," he notes. Catherine's politics as a queer feminist were everywhere palpable; her firm sense of social justice informed all aspects of her practice as a teacher, a colleague, a scholar and a leader. Anna recalls how important Catherine's sense of social justice was to her own decision, now, to pursue a career in human rights law; "If Catherine were in another job, she'd be a human rights lawyer!" Mojisola adds. For Catherine, politics was not a position one adopts; it was a practice one lives, folded and leaved into all aspects of being and working. At stake for her was the work of the political, not the glamour of ideology.
Anna and Mojisola remember that nobody was prouder of their queerness, more open about it, and yet for Catherine queerness was never about her, the work of anti-racist justice was never about her. Anna remembers Catherine's classroom as a safe space in which to "learn to love one's queerness"; Mojisola honours Catherine as someone with whom, as a Black woman, she felt safe "in terms of race," someone who never boasted about her allyship: "she just got on with it." She recalls that Catherine was always first to check her privilege as a white, educated person from a settler colony, always first to put her power to work for those with less.
Teaching with People's Palace Projects
Mojisola offers a remarkable example of this work in practice. As Director of Teaching and Learning, Catherine realized that a handful of students in the Queen Mary BA Drama program were on track to earn 2:2 degrees, but could do much more with a bit more support; she pulled their names, saw in them the traces of historical underprivilege, did some maths, and made it possible for them to be mentored to better degree outcomes. Quietly, no fuss—but lives were changed forever. Sarah remembers Catherine committing exactly the same graft to the work of TA support: she convened difficult discussions, took flak for the department, set boundaries, offered space to share openly, then made attainable promises around wages and conditions and got proper results for the young people who needed them most. "Doing the boring stuff, paying attention to details, looking at structure," Mojisola notes, leaves in Catherine's wake a legacy of what Sarah calls "real, tangible, difficult change."
Our conversation, Ben reminds us, keeps coming back to this word: care. Every aspect of Catherine's work for, and conduct among, her students and peers was infused with a "sense of civic care." To be Catherine's student was to encounter someone who was always willing to be vulnerable, because she saw herself as no more nor less than them. She was even more nervous than the MA candidate sat in front of her at interview, happy to share that she, too, found these sorts of formal public situations awkward, uncomfortable. She was someone who listened to your words with mouth slightly open, eyes alert, seeing you, hearing you—but properly. She was someone in whose classroom you knew you needed to be, because what teacher takes such serious interest in the most mundane things, always giving you the benefit of the doubt, listening with infinite patience, knowing she can never understand the circumstances shaping the moment in which you come to her in need?
Anna calls Catherine "powerfully unassuming": extraordinary in her capacity to elevate our ordinary lives, to lift up tiny details for generous attention, precisely because it's the little, human things that so affect our capacities to teach and to learn. Catriona, Sarah, and Caoimhe were all Catherine's PhD supervisees at the same time, and yet, they recall now, they all emerged with independent writing styles, separate senses of scholarly self, because as Catriona puts is, "the way that Catherine shaped you as a scholar was about the way you think." Mojisola calls this Catherine's capacity to demonstrate the southern African philosophy of Ubuntu: "Ubuntu means, I am who I am because you are who you are. I am me through you and you are you through me."
"Perhaps Your Problem Contains its Own Solution"
Catriona parrots this Catherine-ism and we all laugh, delighted for a moment, remembering. And then a pause. What, dearest Catherine, is the solution to this problem, this great loss of ours, our loss of you? There may be only one: to live your legacy as you would have done, with no ego, with firm allyship, with strongest commitment to the most vulnerable among us and also within ourselves.
Mojisola made a list to help us imagine what this solution might look like. Catherine would have loved it (after being embarrassed for a moment to be caught in the spotlight, of course).
Listen without prejudice.
Listen without bias.
Listen without interrupting.
Attend to the detail.
Dig as deep as you can.
Don't be afraid of boredom. (The boring stuff is what gets the job done.)
Turn the question around.
Wait patiently for the answers.
Accept people. Believe your students. Then they will feel believed in.
Don't be afraid of the mundane work that is part of dismantling discrimination.
Let your students teach you. Everyone is an expert in their own lives.
Give praise generously, when it is due.
Never forget to love, to be loved, and to dance.

What we're taking with us: three term-end tips from Kelsey (#ACsurvivalguide)
Posted on May 10, 2021 by Kelsey
Holy smokes, we made it through another bizarre, shaped-by-the-pandemic semester!
This is the organic shape of Covid-19. The specific shape of your pandemic experience may vary.
I haven't yet had time to do full reflection and inventory from the teaching year (aka, I'm still marking!!). But, already, I know that the last eight months have drastically impacted how I approach teaching. Here are the first three things I'm "taking with me" beyond this topsy-turvey COVID-19 era.
1. Slow down.
For many, this has been a mantra for the pandemic as a whole. For me, it's a lesson I've had to learn (and relearn) throughout the year in the classroom.
I have a lot of energy as a human and a teacher. On top of that, I value multimodal learning that offers students a range of entry points to engage with material. By extension, my lessons have traditionally incorporated lots activities: there's a cluster lecture, a close read, then a scavenger hunt!
Good advice from a turtle.
Online teaching looked me in the eye and said simply: it's too much.
Because, here's the thing about virtual teaching: simple tasks, like sharing documents for peer review, take longer. This extra time-taking has forced me to slow my lessons down and give more time to fewer activities. You know what? My classes are better for it. The simplified lessons give students more time to engage with one another and sink into tasks. Moving forward, I will definitely pare down my lesson plans to hone-in more, and offer more time and scope for settling into the task at hand.
2. Do the same work for myself that I'd do for others.
Anyone who knows me knows that I like, and am good at, planning, scheduling, and organizing. When I first started teaching, I used to schedule and organize administrative tasks like marking. As I've transitioned from part time to full time teaching, my workload has ballooned, and I've often forsaken this prep work for myself.
"Organize" is one of my favorite eight-letter words.
This year, I had two courses with TAs. To support my TAs, and their transition to online teaching and marking, I did a lot of extra scheduling and administration such as providing detailed instruction sheets for their assigned tasks.
In doing this work for my TAs, I also did it for myself. Clear workload breakdowns in advance of performing said work? Super useful. Pre-written explanations for common structural or grammar issues? Way faster. And who came up with these teaching hacks? I did.
This reminded me that I need to 1) remember the value of front-loading administrative and planning work and 2) use my own skillset to not only support others but also myself.
3. Leverage the online tools.
In the fall semester, I took attendance manually (with the backup of zoom) in my classes. (For those concerned with access, there were alternate options for those that couldn't attend live sessions). At the end of that semester, collating and cross-referencing my messy notes with zoom's weird output format took me an eon.
The title of this children's book, Just a mess, accurately describes my attendance-taking process in the fall semester.
For the second semester I had time to learn the attendance tool on Moodle (my school's online learning platform). It took me twenty minutes to set up, and it allowed students to record their own attendance and log it in the system. Not only was this quicker and easier for everyone, it also helped ease student anxiety because they had access to their own attendance record.
It's easy to huff and puff about technology, and there is no question that zoom freezes suck, but this was a good reminder that the tools can be helpful too – if we take the time to explore them a bit, when we have that time and space.
As I continue to get distance from the semester, I'm sure I will uncover more reflections to share. But these feel like a meaningful start and a good reminder that even in the strangest of times, there can be improvement and learning.

Q: Django Migrate issue A django model created as follows
from django.db import models

class Vender(models.Model):
    id  =models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    class Meta:
        db_table="vendor"

class car(models.Model):
    id  =models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    Vender=models.ForeignKey(Vender)
    carmodel =models.CharField(max_length=30)
    class Meta:
        db_table="car"

Initially makemigration and migrate worked fine. Then I changed some model fields and options.
After that getting the below error. I am new to Django.
This kind of issues is happen in production how we can solve with out effecting live transaction data.

A: you dont need
id  =models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)

django adds it for you. dont worry about it.
delete these fields, makemigrations, migrate and you are fine.

A: it's ok to keep
id=models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)

I have faced this issue several times, the solution what i use is , before change the field of an existing model, run:
python manage.py makemigrations --appName
python manage.py migrate --appName --fake

then make field changes in the model, run following:

 python manage.py makemigrations --appName
 python manage.py migrate --appName

U will see all a green result!
Then reason for it because:
When u run makemigrations --appName u may will get something like:

    Migrations for 'app':
  0001_initial.py:
    -Create model Vender
    - Create model car

But actually u have already create these two model when u first create the db, so just migrate in fake way, it will do nothing but keep the initial file. Then make change, run migrate again, the system will detective the changes automatically

We are back to brighten up your Monday, because who wouldn't love to procrastinate a tiny bit and enjoy a couple of wonderful panoramic pictures, right?
This pano has basically everything – a stunning view, amazing colours and a lovely piece of nature. Marcio took this one in Chile, the Paine waterfalls look just wonderful. Great work here!
Here's another one, similar to the previous pano by Marcio Cabral. Lovely village Ličko Lešće in Croatia, a nice little stream flowing underneath the photographer and just look at the sun setting behind the woods in the back. Brilliant!
I guess there's never enough Milky way panos, right? This time, Paean captured it in the Wanagarren Nature Reserve in Australia and it looks just wonderful.
On another pano, the Milky Way was captured in Italy, from one of the peaks from the Apennines near Campo Imperatore.
Aaaand the last, but not least, here's a Milky Way captured from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Once again, we love the colours on this one. So which one of the three do you like the most?

Consumer banking Consumer lending
Membership growth, profitability anxieties top of mind for credit unions
By Jackie Stewart October 02, 2020, 5:00 a.m. EDT 4 Min Read
Credit unions are worried about member acquisition and profitability — and for good reason.
As the coronavirus pandemic became widespread earlier this year, officials shuttered non-essential businesses, sending the economy into a tailspin and the unemployment rate skyrocketing. Even as some Americans get back to work, credit unions are still uncertain about maintaining their bottom line.
That makes sense since many institutions closed branch lobbies, potentially limiting new account openings, and loan demand has been tepid, which can cut into earnings.
"It's a challenging environment and credit unions are challenged right now," said Jeffrey Paille, a partner at consulting firm Bonadio Group. "Consumers are looking for safety and comfort, and that manifests itself in consistency. Changing financial institutions is not something people are eager to do right now."
In a survey from Arizent, the parent company of Credit Union Journal, American Banker and others, 68% of respondents said there were "significant/considerable" or "moderate" challenges in customer acquisition because of the pandemic.
As for maintaining customer profitability, 60% of respondents said there were challenges related to COVID-19, according to the study. However, these numbers increased for respondents from the banking sector, including credit unions. Almost three-quarters of banking respondents said they faced problems with customer acquisition while 77% said maintaining customer profitability was challenging, according to the survey.
There are a few reasons that banking respondents are more concerned about customer acquisition and profitability than some other professions. For one, despite so much investment in technology, these digital banking systems are still predominantly for completing transactions rather than picking up new accounts, said Steve Reider, president of the consulting firm Bancography.
Most new account openings still happen in a branch, but this avenue was cut off when branch lobbies closed earlier this year and growth in membership has slowed. Credit union membership ticked up by 2.9%, to 124.7 million in July from a year earlier, according to the September trends report from CUNA Mutual Group. That's the smallest increase since at least July 2017, according to the report.
"It's no surprise that as lobbies closed, we've had a substantial impact to adding new members," Reider said.
Management at Liberty Bay Credit Union in Braintree, Mass., realized early on during the pandemic that they needed to revamp their website to provide a better digital experience for members. The $708 million-asset institution began working on the project in late February and early March — as the pandemic became widespread — and launched the updated site in July.
Members can complete many tasks virtually, such as opening new accounts and applying for loans. Lyndon Matteson, president and CEO of Liberty Bay, credits the upgrade with helping the institution to better serve members as access to branches was limited.
"When we were in a state of emergency, no one could come to branches and that would create anxiety for our membership," Matteson said. "Now they can do everything on the website that they can do at a branch, minus getting cash."
So far Liberty Bay has weathered the economic fallout from the coronavirus. It's added $60 million in residential loans with more than half of that coming from new members, Matteson said.
The institution has been helped by the overall refinance boom that's given a boost to many credit unions. But Matteson also noted that Liberty Bay hasn't pulled back in terms of its lending, and strong referrals from current members is also bolstering its results.
"I think our membership trusts us," Matteson said. "We've been around for 103 years and we made it through the Great Depression. We are not a fly-by-night organization."
There are credit unions with enough capital right now to take on new members who could result in near-term losses. But this strategy could mean establishing a deep sense of loyalty and that could translate into more opportunities later on, Paille said.
But not every credit union can withstand even a temporary hit, and more conservative management teams may purposefully pull back in terms of new member acquisition or reaching for profitability during a time of so much uncertainty. That could be contributing to some of the anxiety seen in the Arizent survey, Paille added.
Credit unions' low level of participation in the Paycheck Protection Program is another strike against the industry's profitability, said Greyson Tuck, a director at Gerrish Smith Tuck, a consulting and law firm. Net income fell by more than 34%, to $9.4 billion, in the second quarter from a year earlier, according to data from NCUA.
Beyond PPP loans and mortgage refis, demand for credit has been meager, Tuck noted. With the exception of credit unions over $1 billion in assets, every asset size category reported lower loan growth for the year ending in the second quarter compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the CUNA Mutual trends report.
All of this could mean a reckoning is in the works for some credit unions that rely on in-person customer service to differentiate themselves from competitors. The pandemic has accelerated long-term trends in declining foot traffic to branches.
"Credit unions and community banks are relationship-based financial institutions, and it's about shaking hands and seeing people," Tuck said. "And you just don't have that right now."

Dani Korman has been selected as the Mary Frances Wagle '47 Head Coach of the MIT men's and women's swimming and diving teams, MIT Director of Athletics Julie Soriero announced on July 29. Korman will be joining the Engineers after spending the last three years as an assistant coach with the Yale University women's swimming and diving program.
"I am thrilled to be joining the MIT community," said Korman. "It is my goal to empower [the team members] as students, as athletes, and as individuals to achieve their full potential during their time at MIT and beyond."
During her three years at Yale she assisted with a team that saw improvement each year at the Ivy League Championships, with the 2015 squad finishing third and scoring 200 more points than the season before. The Elis also had three swimmers qualify for the NCAA Division I Championships under her watch, with numerous school records broken during her time in New Haven.
While Korman was at Yale, multiple student-athletes earned All-Ivy League honors, with the team gaining CSCAA Scholar All-America honors in all three seasons. She also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Elis, with her recruiting class of 2018 being named the 17th best in the nation by CollegeSwimming.
Her prior collegiate coaching experience includes working as an assistant coach at Johns Hopkins University, where she helped both the men's and women's teams to a pair of top-10 NCAA finishes. Prior to Johns Hopkins, Korman served as the interim head coach of the Carthage College women's team where she was named the 2008 Co-Coach of the Year and led the team to its first ever appearance in the NCAA Championship. In addition, she has served as an assistant swim coach and counselor for the University of Texas/Total Performance Swim Camp.
Korman is a 2006 graduate of Kenyon College where she was part of four national championship teams. She was a seven-time All-American at Kenyon and served as team captain as a senior. She earned a Master's of Education with a concentration in guidance and counseling from Carthage in 2008.

Malfeasance of the Jurassic Media on Yet Another Tragedy
Once again a tragedy has struck a community and multiple people have been gunned down by a lone gunman, reasons unknown. Aurora, Colorado is the latest victim having to deal with such tragedy as we woke this morning to read of 12 dead; 59 wounded in the Aurora Sentinel.
Later reports have identified the shooter as 24 year-old graduate student and PhD candidate, James Holmes, who was arrested in the Century 16 Theater parking lot shortly after the melee.
Although any reason he had to commit such a heinous murder spree remains unknown, once again we see the media, ABC's Brian Ross specifically leaping to assign blame and point fingers at those who have absolutely no connection to the tragic murders.
In the haste to build ratings, make a profit and get a scoop, an innocent man living in Aurora who unfortunately has a similar name was tied to the shooting with no one at ABC contacting either him or the Tea Party in Aurora to make any confirmation. As it turns out, the man linked by Ross is in his 50's and has absolutely no connection to the shooter 3 decades younger.
ABC has issued an apology, but that doesn't do much for the innocent man who has received so many hate calls over his telephone morning that he has had to have his telephone shut off.
While an apology is the least of what ABC should issue, it does not remove Brian Ross's erroneous linkage that has been seen and continues to spread, those people already seeking any reason to continue the false claims of the Tea Party being out of control gun nuts ready to latch onto any weak claim they can to further their own hate.
This is not the first time the media or ABC has engaged in such 'yellow journalism,' "biased opinion masquerading as objective fact that often involves sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion."
Can we forget how CBS's Dan Rather became embroiled in such allegations in the 2004 Presidential campaign with the "False but accurate" memo scandal he purported to have uncovered that resulted in his resignation?
Those are hardly lone examples of such media malfeasance. We saw it in 1995 with horrific bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as media and then President B.J. Clinton quickly leveled allegations that popular conservative radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh was at fault, following that same false connection again in 2011 immediately after the tragic shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords in January of that year.
We saw it in 2010 when a lone man flew his aircraft into an FBI building in Austin Texas and ramblings he left in a note were erroneously linked to Tea Party involvement, even though his friends that knew him said he was in no way connected to the Tea Party.
We saw it in 2009 when MSNBC's Contessa Brewer doctored a report linking a Black Man attending a second amendment rally blocks away and hours before an Obama town-hall meeting to claim White Racism directed at Obama.
With little known about this shooter, ABC was quick on the gun to link him to the Tea Party. The apology later means little as the link was made on national television to falsely link someone not associated in any manner with the event to the heinous act.
There is no effort to confirm before such reports are quickly aired.
With a growing move towards legalizing marijuana, there is no effort to discover if maybe the shooter was also a pot smoker.
There is a Private Investigator making claims of Holmes being part of the Black Bloc group loosely involved at Occupy Rally's, but is his link any stringer than what ABC's Bran Ross used? Until such evidence becomes available, I can only list his claim as specious as well.
In the wake of the erroneous ABC report, the Colorado Tea Party released the following statement:
"The Colorado Tea Party Patriots and the Tea Party Patriots are saddened to hear of the death and wounding of theater goers in Aurora, Colorado. The member of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots, Jim Holmes, age 52 is not the same person who has been identified as the shooter."
"The attempts of some media organizations to characterize the shooter as a Tea Party member without having made any effort to contact our organization are shameless and reprehensible."
"Shameless and reprehensible" is the least of what comes to mind. Whether a result of an effort to scoop others or a deliberate attempt to create a negative link, it is irresponsible and must be stopped. There is no excuse for these continuing false linkage claims to the Tea Party or conservatives in America.
The claims are lies and the media should not be permitted to hide behind their first amendment right to "freedom of the press."
I have no idea what will come of this false report, but Brian Ross should resign or be fired as well as any other "journalist" who makes such false claims. They have happened too often now to believe they are just slips.
They are bright and shining examples of why many refer to our media as the "Jurassic Media" and many people no longer buy the newspapers and viewership continues to decline.
A free media is essential to a free country. But biased media stretching news reports to false or specious allegations with no verification is nothing more than manipulative journalism.
Little wonder many people look down at journalists.

Take note, too, that at least two witnesses came forth and said someone opened the inaccessible door of the theater swhen this batman creep walked in. Also note the guy was stone drugged even at his hearing. Something stinks and all we have is - what I believe is a false picture of what really happened. They was to confiscate guns and THAT'S why this happened. Do I believe that wild conspiracy "lunacy"? Ypu. I get it from recognizing the evil we have emanating from the highest office in the land, nay in the world.

Germany is an excellent tourist destination filled with delightful cities. The best part is that you can easily extend your trip to other European nations too!
The classic image of Germany is heavily influenced by the usual hackneyed clichés mostly involving beer halls, fast cars and punctuality. However, this narrow view vastly misrepresents the reality, and those willing to explore Germany for themselves will find a diverse land of great regional variation, proud traditions and rich culture. Germany is an excellent tourist destination on its own, and vacation packages in Germany can easily be combined with tours of Northern or Eastern Europe to make for an original and unforgettable holiday experience.
If you are also interested in hiking, then check out the top hiking trails in Germany — these are suited for hikers of all levels.
Below we give to you the top 12 vacation packages in Germany for 2019, in no particular order.
The evocatively-named Black Forest is one of Germany's most naturally beautiful regions and it is waiting to be discovered on a seven-day cross-country skiing tour. This sport is widely recognized as one of the best ways to keep fit and this wonderfully active holiday package will see you travelling each day from one picturesque village to the next, passing through tranquil pine forests, open valleys and snow-covered meadows.

Highlights include three days sailing on the Ionian Sea and a visit to Dubrovnik, the fabulously picturesque city made famous by the Game of Thrones series.
Looking for the perfect place to ring in the New Year 2019? Berlin is undoubtedly one of Europe's most exciting cities and is the ideal location to welcome in the new year. Berlin is not just about partying — the city is also brimming with history and culture, and this tour lets you sample as much as possible in just four days. Your guide will give you the perfect blend of culinary adventures, cultural visits and a taste of Berlin's deservedly world-famous nightlife.

A tour designed with more active and budget-conscious travellers in mind, this week-long package is the perfect blend of cultural activities and opportunities to party. Starting in Berlin, visit the city's historical places of interest as well as sampling the world-renowned nightlife of the German capital. Next up is Amsterdam for more of the same, Dutch-style. The third destination is the more relaxed Belgian town of Bruges, where you will have time to stroll around the medieval streets. The tour ends with a big night out in London to celebrate the successful conclusion of your holiday.
One of the most authentic and magical activities during the festive period is to visit a European Christmas market, and every country has its own take on the tradition. This 8-day tour will allow you to meet the locals and sample some of the most awe inspiring Christmas markets across Europe. Starting in Munich and taking in Salzburg and Vienna before finishing the tour in Budapest, you will have the opportunity to taste Christmas specialities, indulge in a spot of shopping and generally soak up the atmosphere of these four vibrant cities.

This package takes your through Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary, combining varied activities that allow you to discover these fascinating countries.

Next stop is Gothenburg, across the Swedish border. There, you will have a day to explore before moving on to Oslo, the final stop on the tour and perhaps the most intriguing of all the Scandinavian capitals.

Afrika Korps vs. Desert Rats (abbreviato in AK vs. DR e pubblicato con il titolo Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps negli Stati Uniti d'America e nel Regno Unito) è un videogioco strategico in tempo reale prodotto e sviluppato dalla francese MonteCristo in cooperazione con l'ungherese Digital Reality e distribuito dalla Atari a partire dal 2004. Il gioco permette di rivivere le battaglie svoltesi in Nordafrica durante la seconda guerra mondiale tra il Deutsches Afrikakorps di Erwin Rommel e l'8ª Armata di Bernard Law Montgomery, quindi dall'arrivo dei tedeschi in Libia (febbraio 1941) fino alla capitolazione delle forze dell'Asse in Tunisia nel maggio 1943.

A differenziare il gioco da prodotti dello stesso genere è stata la volontà dei programmatori di includere una storia che unisse i 5 personaggi degli opposti schieramenti e che fungesse da cornice alla guerra nel deserto. È possibile giocare sia in singolo sia in più giocatori online sfruttando il sito Gamespy.

Trama
La guerra del deserto sarà vista attraverso gli occhi e i rispettivi diari del tenente colonnello Erich von Hartmann e del tenente colonnello Gregory Sinclair, conosciutisi durante le Olimpiadi di Berlino del 1936; successivamente i due erano diventati amici, ma lo scoppio del conflitto mette a dura prova i loro rapporti. Inoltre si sono innamorati della stessa donna, Fleur du Mal, abile spia sul libro paga delle principali organizzazioni europee e nota come Lys: fascinosa pilota di biplano, sarà incontrata solo una volta durante il gioco e nominata nelle pagine dei due ufficiali. Personaggi minori, ma comunque giocabili, sono il capitano Marius Bertrand Lafarge, della Legione straniera, e William "Goose" Gosling, soldato e consigliere militare statunitense catturato dai francesi di Vichy. Nelle prime scene del gioco è possibile vedere il suo salvataggio a opera di Lafarge, Siclair e Lys. Con il proseguire delle missioni nel diario dei due protagonisti si legge di come essi cerchino di scoprire chi sia davvero Lys. Nell'ultima missione, la quindicesima, ella sarà scoperta dall'Abwehr, il servizio di controspionaggio tedesco, e perciò Sinclair, Gosling e Lafarge si precipitano a Tunisi per salvarla; saranno incredibilmente aiutati da Erich von Hartmann nel combattimento finale contro un ufficiale nazista, che tiene prigioniera la donna in un hotel.

Modalità di gioco

Giocatore singolo
In modalità giocatore singolo, l'utente ha una serie di opzioni. Può giocare in ordine cronologico tutte le missioni, otto con l'Asse (impersonando il fittizio Erich von Hartmann) e sei con gli Alleati in Tunisia (nei panni del fittizio Gregory Sinclaire). Può selezionare la campagna e scegliere tra quella con gli italo-tedeschi o gli Alleati e, infine, può rigiocare una singola missione, a patto di averla già completata e senza poter accumulare esperienza. Una quindicesima missione è sbloccabile dopo aver completato la campagna degli Alleati in modalità difficile

Prima dell'inizio di ogni missione il giocatore viene informato degli obiettivi minimi da raggiungere (ne esistono di secondari e di segreti); è poi libero di modificare lo schieramento che gli viene fornito automaticamente: sono disponibili numerosi tipi di veicoli tra autocarri, carri armati, semoventi anche contraerei, autoblindo. La risorsa più importante sono in ogni caso le unità di fanteria, suddivise in una serie di ruoli specializzati (mitragliere, geniere, esploratore, granatiere, medico) e solo attraverso le quali si possono manovrare i mezzi e le armi. Costituito lo schieramento, il giocatore dovrà superare la missione contando in pratica sulle sole forze di partenza, pur potendo catturare equipaggiamenti al nemico a patto di avere abbastanza fanteria. In più l'utente usufruisce della presenza di un "eroe", capace di elevare nettamente i parametri del veicolo che occupa, ma la cui morte decreta l'immediato fallimento della missione. Nel corso del gioco le unità sono gestibili dall'interfaccia situata nella parte bassa dello schermo, che riporta una serie di ordini, alcuni dei quali ben precisi ed eseguibili sono da specifiche unità; l'interfaccia segnala inoltre quanti attacchi di artiglieria, ricognizioni aeree e bombardieri sono ancora disponibili su richiesta del giocatore. A causa della nebbia di guerra, poche volte sarà utile lanciare i propri carri armati in un violento assalto frontale, mentre è consigliato il reciproco appoggio tra unità e, a volte, anche un'attenta preparazione al combattimento – ricognizione, brevi puntate offensive per saggiare le difese nemiche, attacchi d'artiglieria per scompaginarle, etc. Tutti i veicoli che sopravvivono alle missioni aumentano la resistenza e la potenza di fuoco e il giocatore guadagna "punti prestigio", che consentono di sbloccare sia per l'Asse, sia per gli Alleati, quattro unità uniche.

Il coinvolgimento è aumentato dall'eccellente grafica, che rende realistiche le esplosioni di attrezzature e carri armati, oppure il collasso degli edifici presi a cannonate e gli spari delle armi; ancora, palmizi e sterpaglie saranno abbattuti dal passaggio dei blindati che alzano nuvole di polvere e lasciano il segno dei cingoli sul terreno. Infine non manca il supporto audio, con sigle e colonne sonore realizzate dall'Orchestra sinfonica di Vienna.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer vengono offerte al giocatore tre tipi di partita, ognuno con due mappe e capaci di ospitare un massimo di quattro giocatori online. È possibile impostare la difficoltà, le unità impiegabili e altri aspetti, oltre a chattare con le altre persone; comunque la modalità è a volte soggetta a inceppamenti o scene scattose e non è possibile mettere in pausa. Sono disponibili la classica modalità deathmatch e conquista, caratterizzata dalla presenza di bandiere sulla mappa; inoltre esiste un tipo di scontro detto "Tobruk to el-Alamein": due giocatori, ciascuno con un proprio quartier generale agli estremi della mappa, combattono l'un l'altro per schiacciare l'avversario prima che questi riceva rinforzi e passi all'offensiva.

McSally Backs Bipartisan Legislation to Stop Theft of U.S. Research & Intellectual Property by Global Competitors
National / By editor
U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ) this week cosponsored the Safeguarding American Innovation Act, bipartisan legislation to help stop foreign governments, particularly China, from stealing American taxpayer-funded research and intellectual property developed at U.S. colleges and universities.
American taxpayers have been unwittingly funding the rise of China's military and economy over the last two decades while federal agencies have done little to stop it. Starting in the late 1990s through its "talent recruitment programs," China began recruiting U.S.-based scientists and researchers to transfer U.S. taxpayer-funded IP to China for their own economic and military gain. This legislation will ensure that the federal government is taking decisive action to safeguard American innovation.
"For years, American adversaries like China have exploited our unmatched academic research institutions and stolen taxpayer-funded research and intellectual property to strengthen their own militaries and economies," McSally said. "Our bill shines a light on these bad actors and shields American innovation from theft. This bill will also keep spies out of our schools and ensure federal agencies have the authority to protect our education system from foreign influence."
This legislation also addresses the findings of PSI's February 2019 report, which highlighted the Department of Education's lack of enforcement of foreign gift reporting at U.S. colleges and universities, which the department admitted was "historically lax." This bill gives the department increased authority to enforce foreign gift reporting rules and lowers the reporting threshold to increase transparency and prevent foreign interference on U.S. campuses.
The bill was introduced on June 18 by Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Tom Carper (D-DE).
"We cannot continue to allow our global competitors to steal taxpayer-funded research and innovation in order to benefit their military and economy. That's why I'm proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation, which takes decisive action to safeguard American innovation, hold countries like China accountable for their actions, and ensure our world-class research enterprise is protected here in America," said Portman. "For nearly two decades, as we detailed in the November 2019 PSI report, the federal government has been asleep at the wheel while foreign governments have exploited the lack of transparency in our education system and bought access and influence on our school campuses. This bill will help us stop foreign governments from stealing our research and innovation while also increasing transparency to ensure that taxpayers know when colleges and universities accept significant foreign funding. We must hold countries that act in bad faith, like China, accountable and I urge my colleagues to join us in supporting this legislation."
This bipartisan legislation will protect American research and IP from global competitors by:
Punishing individuals who intentionally fail to disclose foreign support on federal grant applications, with penalties ranging from fines and imprisonment for not more than five years or both and a five-year prohibition on receiving a federal grant;
Strengthening the Student and Exchange Visitor Program by requiring the State Department's exchange program sponsors to have safeguards against unauthorized access to sensitive technologies and report to State if an exchange visitor will have access to sensitive technologies;
Strengthening the State Department's authority to deny visas to certain foreign nationals seeking access to sensitive technologies when it is contrary to U.S. national security and economic security interests of the United States;
Mandating a standardized U.S. government grant process by authorizing the Office of Management and Budget to work with federal grant-making agencies to standardize the grant application process; share information about grantees; and create a U.S. government-wide database of federal grantees; and
Lowering the reporting threshold for U.S. schools and universities receiving foreign gifts from $250,000 to $50,000 and giving the Department of Education authority to punish schools that fail to properly report.

Good Fashion Fund's first investment demonstrates impact
adminJanuary 13, 2023 12:21 pm
With the final disbursement of the loan made in June of this year, and the first on-site monitoring visit this week, the investment is already showing fruitful results and positive financial, environmental and social impact in Pratibha's spinning, processing and garmenting divisions.
The Good Fashion Fund, the Fashion for Good and Laudes Foundation initiated fund to drive sustainable manufacturing practices, signed its first deal with Indian manufacturer Pratibha Syntex in 2020 for a $ 4.5 million, long-term loan. With the final disbursement of the loan made in June of this year, and the first on-site monitoring visit this week, the investment is already showing fruitful results and positive financial, environmental and social impact in Pratibha's spinning, processing and garmenting divisions.
The $ 4.5 million investment committed by the Good Fashion Fund to Pratibha Syntex is to replace machinery in the spinning, processing, and garmenting divisions, as well as provide new equipment for the expansion of their activities and facilities.
"With the capital provided by the Good Fashion Fund, Pratibha Syntex can invest in securing a sustainable future for our processes which will have positive, compounded effects along the value chain. We're extremely pleased with the partnership and excited to continue on our journey for positive impact," said Shreyaskar Chaudhary, Managing Director, Pratibha Syntex.
The first on-site monitoring visit took place in which the Good Fashion Fund was supported by its advisors Sphera, FairwearFoundation, Global CAD and Adelphi [1] to be able to establish progress made since the investment. As expected, the impact results of the equipment comfortably surpass the threshold of 50 per cent savings in all key areas (specifically the three Goods: Energy, Water and Materials). All parties were impressed with the progress made on the environmental and social action items and particularly with the roadmap developed by Pratibha Syntex for further improvements as part of their vision 2025 and beyond.
L-R: Ankita Saxena (Pratibha Syntex); Mukesh Matta (Pratibha Syntex); Gemma Verhoeven (Good Fashion Fund), Bernadette Blom (Good Fashion Fund); Nina Retzlaff ; (Global CAD)[1]Sameer Bhand (Pratibha Syntex); Mrinal Bose (Pratibha Syntex).
"We are very pleased with the partnership with Pratibha Syntex, a frontrunner in terms of sustainability. The first environmental, social and financial impact resulting from our investment are above expectation and in line with our mission to connect impact technologies to the industry to collaboratively tackle its challenges. It is clear from the results of the monitoring visit that sustainability is ingrained in their DNA and thus fully aligned with the objectives of the Good Fashion Fund. We will continue to invest in apparel manufacturers in India and Bangladesh to deliver good fashion practice, economic growth and fair jobs – demonstrating how to invest beyond sustainability and towards a restorative and regenerative apparel supply chain," commented Bernadette Blom, Director of the Good Fashion Fund.
Since the investment has been made, Pratibha Syntex has installed new spinning equipment, solar panels, a continuous tumble dryer, and made enhancements to effluent treatment. The new spinning equipment (card chute, comber, ringrame, autoconer) operates significantly more efficiently than the legacy machinery, both in terms of energy usage and waste generated. Investment in solar panels is ongoing but already more than 30%[1] of usage is met by renewable energy and additional installations are planned aimed at increasing that share to 50 per cent. The continuous tumble dryer has replaced several pieces of equipment used for treating fabrics and has fully eliminated the need for water and has significantly reduced power usage in this process.
The Effluent Treatment Plant has been enhanced with new filters allowing for additional recycling of water, reclaiming most of the water used (some water is lost to evaporation), the elimination of chemical sludge generated (reducing landfill waste) and reducing energy consumption. In order to achieve complete circularity and reduce the need for freshwater, Pratibha is setting up a process whereby neighbouring wastewater is treated in addition to their own, using the resulting clean water in their process. The impact of the investment thus touches upon freshwater use, waste (water) discharged, and chemical usage.
"Laudes Foundation supports brave action to inspire and challenge industry to harness its power for good through initiatives like the Good Fashion Fund. The environment and social impact that Pratibha Syntex[2] has been able to make with this investment is a great example of how finance can rapidly accelerate apparel manufacturing decarbonisation and help provide safe and dignified jobs for all apparel workers,"stated Kelly Clark, Director Finance and Capital Market Transformation at Laudes Foundation
Apart from manufacturing cotton, fibres, fabrics and apparel, Pratibha Syntex is also engaged in social initiatives to generate employment for women in rural communities. They are actively promoting women empowerment and diversity with the aim to increase the number of women in supervisory roles and others engaging directly with senior management to understand and become involved in the entire business.

Marble, Colorado
Do you know how the town of Marble got its name?
Marble is home to the pure white stone that was used for the Lincoln Memorial, Tomb of the Unknowns, headstones for veterans in national cemeteries, and countless buildings and monuments across the country. The largest vein of white marble in the world was discovered by gold seekers in 1873 while the Crystal River Valley was still part of Northern Ute reservation. The Town of Marble was incorporated in 1899 and grew to 1,400 people between 1912-1917 when the Colorado-Yule Marble Company quarry and finishing mill were in full operation. Over the following half-century, Marble became a ghost town. In 1990, the marble quarry reopened and the Marble area is now home to about 300 people.
Did you know Marble is a gateway to the ghost town of Crystal City; home of the famous Crystal Mill?
Built in 1893 and reputed to be the most photographed site in Colorado, Crystal Mill harnessed river water to power a compressor that ran drills in nearby Sheep Mountain and Bear Mountain. The scenic back country area is accessible during summer and fall via four-wheel drive vehicles, or by hiking, or on horseback.
