HK show a licence for Discovery
Keith Barclay
Hong Kong's annual licensing show, conference and accompanying toy & games fair, the largest events of their kind in Asia, attract major media properties from around the world.
Key players and three HKTDC staff pose for the camera.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council's Hong Kong International Licensing Show (HKILS) and the Asian Licensing Conference (ALC) are Asia's largest such events, and the biggest gathering of licensors and licensees in the region each year.
Among the ALC speakers for January 2015 will be Discovery's Nicolas Bonard, who represents the company that earlier this year bought All3Media, owners of South Pacific Pictures. SPP owns half of Austalia's SLR Productions, no strangers to licensed product as makers of Guess How Much I Love You.
NZ entertainment brands which have already developed international licensing relationships include Pukeko Pictures' The WotWots and longtime Kiwi childhood icon Buzzy Bee.
Nicolas Bonard
Discovery's Bonard has a history of working for broadcasters including MTV, and is presently responsible for the international programme sales and licensing arms of Discovery Communications – everything from completed programmes through music, footage, consumer products and home entertainment. He'll present at ALC on successful brand strategies for expanding to non-core businesses in session The Branded Lifestyle.
Growing Asian economies, not least Mainland China, are making the region the world's fastest-growing when it comes to branded and licensed product. This makes the region very attractive for international brands and offers up opportunities for content creators from markets where opportunities for growth are thin on the ground, such as in much of Europe, or for creators from domestic markets whose scale doesn't easily support licensing and merchandising.
In 2013, the last full year for which figures are available, sales of licensed merchandise in Asia (excluding Japan), were US$8.7 billion, up almost 7% on the previous year. By comparison, the sales in the rest of the world grew less than 2% (albeit from a much larger base). Asia drives less than 6% of worldwide licensing but, with growth three times that of the rest of the world, offers opportunities not found elsewhere.
Licensing and merchandising opportunities around screen properties are as much a driver of that business as the luxury brands the have spent the last decade opening flagship in most major Asian metropolises.
The output of the major American studios, such as Warner Brothers, through the increasingly strong game development presence for studios including Rovio (Angry Birds) to the range of Asian animation studios, all deliver a strong contingent of knowledgeable potential licensors and licensees looking for opportunities around screen content.
Last year over 230 exhibitors presented over 700 brands and properties, drawing 18,000 buyers from over 100 countries and regions. Almost a quarter of the buyers were from mainland China.
HKILS 2014
The accompanying Toys and Games Fair (Asia's largest), Baby Products Fair and Stationery Fair, boasted almost 2,900 exhibitors and over 106,000 buyers for their January 2014 editions, giving plenty of opportunity for cross-sector collaborations. Organisers offer a business matching service for those not so keen on wading through 3000+ exhibitors.
The 2014 Asian Licensing Conference drew 1,200+ participants, most from Asia, and presented 30+ speakers from global brands. The 2015 edition has programmed sessions on the mainland China market, children's merchandising, and retail licensing promotions in Asia.
The Hong Kong International Licensing Show runs 12-14 January, the Asian Licensing Conference 12-13 January.

The Stack's Bowers Galleries 2016 NYINC Auction to Kick Off The New Year!
Stack's Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce details of their upcoming New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC) sale of world coins, world paper money and ancient coins to be held January 8-9, 2016, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in beautiful New York City.
The Stack's Bowers and Ponterio December Hong Kong Auction Produces Terrific Results!
Stack's Bowers and Ponterio is pleased to announce the results of their December 2015 Chinese and Asian Coin, Currency and Medal auction. Overall, prices realized exceeded estimates, with many lots showing heated competition. (All prices realized include the standard buyer's premium).


And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is χξς.
The text here indicates that those who will be allowed to buy and sell must have one of three things: either, the mark, the name, or the number of the name.
The word stigma means mark, doesn't it? To stigmatize a person is to mark them. The only question that remains is the name. Does ksi reveal anything? According to author and researcher Walid Shoebat, it most certainly does, as the letter reads in Arabic as Allah. You may reach your own conclusion.
B'tsath chokmah, mi sabinah lo yachasab ma'cepher ha'chayah kee ma'cepher Adam, hua v'ma'cepheri shiysh ma'oth v'shishiym v'shiysh.
Here is wisdom. Let him with understanding reckon the geneology of the book of life, a book of mankind (Adam), and his book is סםו.
Well … that kind of takes the terror out of the phrase, doesn't it?

Home/Sports/3 Reasons Why The Seattle Seahawks Could Repeat
3 Reasons Why The Seattle Seahawks Could Repeat
24 Flix Send an email January 8, 2015
228 3 minutes read
The Seattle Seahawks enter the NFL Playoffs not just as the NFC's No. 1 seed with the home-field advantage, but also with a head coach in Pete Carroll who has won seven consecutive home playoff games. Las Vegas lists them as the prohibitive favorites and deservedly so. After all, this writer has predicted Seattle to win the title before each of the last two seasons.
On Monday, we gave three reasons why the Seahawks might not win the Super Bowl. Now, here are three reasons why the opposite could happen, and the team could become the league's first repeat Super Bowl champions since New England accomplished the feat exactly a decade ago.
Defense Wins Championships
Somewhere, Bill Parcells is a happy man. Seattle has allowed a mere 39 points … over its previous six games. And better yet, the team has not allowed a touchdown over the past 10 quarters. The key has been a healthy Bobby Wagner, the All-Pro third-year linebacker who came back from a turf-toe injury in the final six games, along with a healthy All-Pro in Kam Chancellor, Seattle's enforcer at strong safety. Wagner — along with fellow linebackers K.J. Wright and Bruce Irvin — is a tackling machine who is nearly as deft in coverage as he is supporting the run. In fact, in the 10 games Wagner played compared with the six he missed, the opponent passer rating decreased from 60.3 to 37.5, per ESPN Stats & Info. Furthermore, the opposition's rushing average decreased from 4.0 to 3.1, a startling drop.
In turn, Wagner's presence has allowed Chancellor to take more chances, which in turn has allowed Earl Thomas — another All-Pro — and All-Pro cornerback (notice the theme here) Richard Sherman to play on a string. Remember, this was a floundering 6-4 football team that lacked the defensive identity of 2014. It ended the season ranked first in overall defense, precisely what it accomplished in 2013 and 2014.
In Russ We Trust
Don't call Russell Wilson (above) a game-manager either. The third-year quarterback became the first quarterback in NFL history with a passer rating of 95-plus in each of the first three seasons. Add that to the facts that his passer rating is seventh-best — EVER — through three seasons, and most importantly, his 38 wins is the most all-time. Had enough? How about the fact that only one guy in NFL history has had more than one season with more than 20 TD passes and 10 or fewer interceptions in each of his first three years. You guessed it — that guy is Russell Wilson, who has done it three straight years, per Football Outsiders. With No. 3 running the show, Seattle actually improved from 18th to 9th in total yards this season, showing that it can indeed come from behind when it needs to.
Word around the players is that they've never respected Marshawn Lynch (above) more. Despite Lynch's training camp hold-out and post-game oddities with the media, he has had a dominant season, arguably his best as a pro. His nearly 1,700 all-purpose yards and 17 total touchdowns allowed Seattle to overcome what was at times a stagnant aerial attack. In many ways, No. 24 is the identity of this offense and, often times, the antidote to the opposition rushing three and forcing Wilson to make errant decisions throwing the football. Whether or not the 28-year-old running back returns to Seattle — or even to pro football — next year remains to be seen. But right now, there may not be a more important or valuable player for the Seahawks' quest to become repeat champs.

Story Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
President Julie Sullivan and Dr. Yohuru Williams Named to TCB100 List
Posted on December 09, 2020 Updated July 15, 2021 By Brant Skogrand '04 MBC
Twin Cities Business magazine recognized President Julie Sullivan and Distinguished University Chair, Professor and Founding Director of the Racial Justice Initiative Yohuru Williams on its "TCB100: The People to Know in 2021" list at a virtual ceremony last night.
This is Sullivan's fourth appearance on the TCB100 list. Twin Cities Business, describing her as a "Builder," wrote: "After marking her seven-year anniversary as president, Julie Sullivan is driving a major growth trajectory. Minnesota's largest private university is on a path to leap from Division III in college athletics. Undeterred by NCAA hurdles, Sullivan is lining up funding so St. Thomas can transition straight to D-I and propel St. Thomas onto the national stage. In 2021, she's also focused on building the Morrison Family College of Health, which got a huge boost with a $25 million gift from the family of one of its trustees. She's also moving forward with construction of a 160,000-square-foot academic complex on the St. Paul campus."
Williams made his TCB100 list debut in the "Change Agent" category. Twin Cities Business wrote, "Slated to leave the Twin Cities for a prestigious position at St. John's University in New York City this past June, Yohuru Williams instead decided to stay at the University of St. Thomas as the founding director of the school's Racial Justice Initiative. A distinguished scholar of the Black power and civil rights movements, Williams frequently writes and speaks on current affairs. His new role is illuminating and amplifying equity and justice concerns across university departments and beyond the internally facing Office of Diversity. He sees Minneapolis as the 'epicenter of a national movement for social change.'"

Mike had a great story to tell that many of us can relate to. Mike had a ton of ideas rolling around in his head but never executed on his ideas until he realized what the problem was… He thought about his ideas so much that he became overwhelmed and as a result he would convince himself that his ideas were not worth pursuing. Mike summarizes this process into 7 stages.
Idea – We all have ideas and they come to us in different ways. Be sure to write them down. I would recommend keeping a notebook or even your phone next to you. You can then take notes in the middle of the night if needed.
Dismissal – This is where we convince ourselves that the idea is not worth executing. For example: "Someone has already done this. Why should I do it?" or you overwhelm yourself with all the different bells and whistles your idea could have.
Plausibility – Narrow the scope of your idea down to the point of actually being able to implement your idea. Start with the basics (alpha or beta) and you can always add more features.
Implementation – Stop thinking and start doing! Most importantly, set a deadline and share this deadline. Share your deadline with your friends and family. They will help keep you on track and will hopefully give you grief if you miss it. Your friends and family can help you test your product out when the time comes.
Trim Scope and Modify Deadline – KISS (keep it simple stupid) Step back and assess the "nice to haves" vs. the "required functionality".
Tell the World – Go on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace (if you use it?) and tell the world about your product. Most importantly, ask for feedback and take action upon that feedback.
At this point in time you're probably wondering what the above has to do with developing a web application while riding the bus… Well, Mike did in fact develop the above application while riding the bus. He just happened to note his behavior along the well. So… What lessons did Mike learn while riding the bus?
If you sit in the back of the bus you can comfortably open and use a laptop.
The bus doesn't have WiFi and the additional cost for a WiFi card was not worth it.
People tend to look at you funny if you're using a laptop on the bus or they want to rubberneck to see what's going on.
Mike rode the bus for approximately one hour per day (half hour each way). There were a few times where he missed his stop because he was too involved with his work. Sometimes a half hour wasn't enough time to complete the task at hand. So, he would then go to a coffee shop for an additional half hour.
In addition to his normal development time on the bus Mike would also carve out some time at home to work on his project. He would usually do this while his wife was at work or not at home. Remember, family first.

Leeds United x Ninjas in Pyjamas join forces to take FIFA esports to new heights
NiP to support the club in its efforts to win the ePremier League EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Tournament
Leeds United are delighted to announce the club are joining forces with iconic esports organisation Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) to take our FIFA esports presence to a new level.
After two successful tournaments, the Premier League recently announced the launch of a third season of ePremier League and NiP will now be supporting the club in its efforts to win the ePremier League EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Tournament.
As FIFA continues to grow in popularity as an esport, Ninjas have been keeping their eyes peeled for new and exciting partnership opportunities to grow along with it.
As one of the most established and iconic esports organisations in the world, NiP had been searching for a new partner to work with- a companion, a football club with history, a compelling storyline and a name worth fighting for.
NiP found what they were looking for in Leeds United and the two organisations have teamed up to create a new and highly competitive epartnership.
"This partnership with Leeds is an exciting milestone for Ninjas in Pyjamas. Our iconic clubs share similar histories of transformation and core values when fighting our way back to the top of our sports," said Hicham Chahine, CEO of Ninjas in Pyjamas.
"We looked for a premier club with an ownership that was ready to go deep into esports - with the ambition of making an impact, integrating efforts on sports performance, fan activation and commercialisation.
"We are very thrilled about this FIFA journey together, and keep your eyes open for more exciting announcements in the upcoming weeks."
Leeds United Executive Director, Paul Bell, said: "Promotion to the Premier League has given the club some amazing opportunities so far, with involvement in the ePremier League Tournament the latest chance for the club to grow and impress.
"Just as Marcelo has done with the men's first team, we intend on making our presence in the ePremier League known and being competitive straight away, creating a partnership with NiP gives us a fantastic foundation to do so."
For a hundred and one years, Leeds United have been marching on
For the past twenty years, NIP has pioneered esports
From today, we march on together

Deadpool most pirated film of 2016 ahead of Batman v Superman
Superhero movies dominate list of illegal downloads as box-office takings for Warcraft and Independence Day: Resurgence are dented

Foulmouthed, pansexual, and highly meta, Deadpool might be the outlier in superhero terms, but he is also the star of the most pirated movie of 2016, according to figures compiled by filesharing news site TorrentFreak.
According to the site, precise figures are not available because, in the current reporting environment, it is more challenging to monitor downloads. But it says its estimates are based on several sources, including public BitTorrent trackers.
Deadpool – video review
TorrentFreak says pirated versions of Deadpool emerged shortly before the film's cinema release in February, and illegal downloads number in the "millions". The film scored over $783m at the global box office.
Two more high-performing superhero films occupied second and third spots, with the popularity of Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War appearing to conform to the presumed comic-book sensibilities of torrent users. The former was released in March 2016, the latter in April. Two more comic-book adaptations – X-Men Apocalypse and Suicide Squad – also feature on the list.
The appetite for pirated films also appeared to run along box-office lines, although videogame adaptation Warcraft and Independence Day: Resurgence performed relatively poorly at the box office (with, respectively, $386m and $389m globally), suggesting that piracy could have taken a significant bite out of revenues for both films.
The Revenant, at No 10 on the list, was notoriously posted on the internet before its release by former film studio employee William Kyle Morarity, who was convicted and fined $1.12m in October.
Top 10 most pirated films in 2016
1. Deadpool
2. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
3. Captain America: Civil War
4. Star Wars The Force Awakens
5. X-Men Apocalypse
6. Warcraft
7. Independence Day: Resurgence
8. Suicide Squad
9. Finding Dory
10. The Revenant

The Aquarius September 2018 monthly horoscope forecasts that if you have overstressed yourself of late, then you might start noticing a few new aches and pains on the 1st. Are your teeth hurting? Is your stomach bothering you? Does your head ache? Well, all those (and more) can result from not exercising, neglecting your sleep schedule, and letting emotional stress get to you. What's the best solution? Stop! How? Well, the easiest way is to get up, go outside and go for a nice long run (or a walk). Even better, go for a swim. Get a massage. Get off that stress treadmill. Get on the meditative breathing train! Or the 'I like to get enough sleep' choo-choo. You can do it!
By the 5h and 6th, you might not want what they want, and it would be better for you if you figure this out sooner than later. You know?
You might come face to face with some of your less acknowledged feelings of disappointment in a certain area of your life on the 9th and 10th. Rather than running away, run towards this potential wealth of knowledge. Things are going amazingly well on the 16th and 17th of September 2018. Aquarius, reap what you have sown! It will be delicious. By the peculiar 22nd, 23rd and 24th, you could be privy to some very strange tales. Compromise on the 29th and 30th.
Ah, stress! Stress-stress-stress-stress. Stress! Stress! Hm. Ask yourself, are you getting into a romantic mood, reading those lines? Didn't think so. Do you think your snuggle bunny (or maybe-could-be-eventually-snuggle-bunny-if-you-play-your-cards-right) is going to be feeling super romantic if all you are talking about is how totally stressed-stressed-stressed out you are on the 1st? Didn't think so. So instead of inflicting your work stress on that cutie pie then feeling sorry for yourself because there's no love in your life, why not just get yourself to the gym? If you have enough energy afterwards, you can meet for a drink. You'll be in a way better space for romance.
The 2018 September monthly forecasts for the Aquarius predict that by the 5th and 6th of September 2018, if you want one thing and they want the opposite thing, you should really, really talk about it. Tackle a couple of difficult emotions head-on on the 9th and 10th. After all, avoiding and denying feelings is a great way to create stress, which is a great way to douse romance. So don't. A date goes great on the 16th or 17th. Aquarius, you've worked hard for this. If they tell you some tall tales on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th, applaud! A little compromise wouldn't hurt on the 29th and 30th.
The September 2018 Aquarius horoscope predicts that when it comes to working effectively, everybody knows that stress is bad. And lots of stress is worse. Maybe it's possible that a teensy-weensy bit of stress is ok. But if you are finding that you can't sleep and you're grinding your teeth and having work nightmares and suffering from a loss of appetite and enthusiasm on the 1st, that's a sure sign that you are too stressed. And that you are not functioning at your best. Maybe it's time to see a professional? Or multiple professionals? After all, it's important that you work out what it is that's allowing you to get so stressed, so you can change it. Otherwise, you won't do all you can do, at work (or anywhere else).
By the 5th and 6th, you might decide that you have to put yourself first. Your boss might give you some pushback. Persevere. Aquarius, deal with your emotions, particularly the ones that get triggered at work on the 9th and 10th. Some amazingly excellent developments show you you're heading in the right direction on the 16th and 17th. Try something totally new on the oddball 22nd, 23rd and 24th of September 2018. Figure out how to make it all work on the 29th and 30th.
The September 2018 Horoscope for Aquarius zodiac sign shows that when you're going over all the elements that go into your healthy lifestyle mix on the 1st, you definitely need to take a nice long look at your spiritual health along with your muscle tone. Of course, what constitutes 'spirituality' is different for each person. But just be sure that, when you're looking at how healthy you are, you pay attention to how you 'are' in the world (how do you feel? What's your relationship to the unknown? Can you visualize the soul?). That, in conjunction with all the tangible things (how is your muscle tone?), will make for an amazing healthy mix.
On the 5th, a little obstacle can be a 'fun challenge.' But only if you look at it the right way. Welcome the approaching autumn with some serious outdoor time on the 10th of September 2018. Revel in how good you feel, getting in touch with nature! Aquarius, swim or do a yoga retreat or go for a hike in the hills on the 15th. What's on your mind on the 20th? Are you thinking about what could change, diet-wise? Do some research! Then take a cooking class. A great session at the gym on the 25th does you good. Change something on the 30th.

How can I find the saddle that will best fit my horse?
If you're new to horseback riding, picking a saddle can be a difficult task. Assessing a saddle fit can be a little complicated for a beginner and a saddle that is fitted incorrectly can lead to big problems. If you're unsure on where to begin, talk to someone who is experienced in the area (a more experienced rider, a riding instructor, a worker at a horse tack store, etc.) to help you find the best fit.
When looking at a saddle, put it on your horse's back without a saddle pad underneath it and assess the fit. If you stand behind your horse, you should notice that the gullet (the valley that runs down the underside of the saddle) is not pressed against your horse's spine—there should be space there. If the gullet is against the spine or withering at the front, you will not be able to make it fit correctly—not even with padding. Instead of worrying about adjustments, find a good saddle that fits.
If you can't have your horse with you when trying out saddle's, describe to the salesperson the exact build of your horse. Is he stocky and broad, or tall and thin? Do his withers stand up high? A good sales person knows a lot about both horses and saddles and should be able to set you up with the type of saddle that will most likely fit your equine.

Sweepstake is een term die gebruikt wordt binnen de marketing en houdt verband met promotionele acties. Men spreekt van een sweepstake wanneer er aan ten minste drie elementen wordt voldaan, te weten:

 Trekking vooraf
 Deelname mogelijk zonder bestel- of koopverplichting
 Geen inleg door de ontvanger.

Daarnaast moet er gegarandeerd worden dat de wettelijke bepalingen, die misleiding van het publiek moeten tegengaan en openheid moeten creëren, juist worden nageleefd.

Werkwijze van sweepstakes
Sweepstakes zijn herkenbaar aan acties waarbij unieke nummers worden toegezonden aan potentiële winnaars die vervolgens geretourneerd moeten worden zodat de adverteerder kan verifiëren of het nummer winnend is.
Behalve retourneren is het ook mogelijk dat de potentiële winnaar met het nummer dat men toegezonden heeft gekregen naar een winkel of showroom moet gaan, zodat daar het betreffende nummer geverifieerd kan worden.

Naast nummers die van tevoren door de adverteerder of notaris als winnend zijn aangesteld bestaan er ook andere varianten. Zo kunnen ook adressen of tijdstippen waarop de potentiële winnaar dient te reageren zijn vastgelegd.

Voorbeelden van sweepstakes
De iPod-actie van Lays in januari en februari 2006 waarbij codes die te vinden waren in zakken chips. Hierbij gaf Lays ieder uur één iPod weg, niet de code van de potentiële winnaar maakt dat iemand de prijs kan winnen, maar het tijdstip waarop een willekeurige code, wel verkregen uit een Lays-chipszak, wordt ingevoerd op de website.
Zo zijn er van tevoren diverse tijdstippen vastgesteld. De persoon die als eerste op of na dat tijdstip de code invoert, wint de prijs.

De Carisma-actie van Mitsubishi in 1997 waarbij men een Carisma-advertentie op het raam diende te plakken. Carisma had daarbij vooraf diverse adressen als potentieel winnend aangewezen. Daarna werd gekeken of er op die adressen daadwerkelijk de Carisma-advertentie voor het raam hing.

More than 100 students walked out of embattled Harvard professor John L. Comaroff's class Tuesday afternoon, protesting his continued presence on campus after he was placed on leave last year for violating the University's sexual harassment and professional conduct policies.
Students flooded Comaroff's classroom in Northwest Building classroom B108 — overflowing into the hallway — to protest the first lecture of his class African and African-American Studies 172X: "Colonialism and its Postcolonial/Decolonial Afterlives: Critical Readings."
As Comaroff began to speak, students rose from their seats and filed out of the classroom, chanting, "Justice for survivors," and "No more Comaroff, no more complicity."
As the walkout begin, Comaroff, a professor of African and African American Studies and Anthropology, broke into a smile and nodded at the protesters. As the last students left the classroom, one told the professor, "Smile in hell, asshole."
The walkout was organized by members of Our Harvard Can Do Better and the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers' Feminist Working Group. Students associated with Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard and the Student Labor Action Movement also attended the protest.
Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean and University president-elect Claudine Gay placed Comaroff on unpaid administrative leave for the spring 2022 semester after two internal investigations found that Comaroff violated Harvard's sexual harassment and professional conduct policies.
Comaroff returned to the classroom for the fall 2022 semester, and his first class faced a similar walkout and protest.
Gay first put Comaroff on paid leave in 2020 after an investigation by The Crimson found that at least three female graduate students had contacted Harvard's Title IX office with complaints of harassment and professional retaliation against the professor.
Comaroff's class — which began at 3 p.m. — was nearly empty within 10 minutes, with only two other individuals remaining. Three students were enrolled in the course as of Tuesday morning, per the FAS Registrar's office. The other course that Comaroff teaches, African and African American Studies 190X: "The Anthropology of Law," has one student enrolled.
Protesters chanted, "Time's up," and "Shut it down," as they marched to the Barker Center, where several taped posters and pages from a 2022 lawsuit filed against Harvard to his office door. The lawsuit, filed against the school by Anthropology graduate students Margaret G. Czerwienski, Lilia M. Kilburn, and Amulya Mandava, alleges that Harvard ignored and mishandled allegations of sexual harassment against Comaroff.
A plainclothes Harvard University Police Department officer at the Barker Center declined to comment.
HUPD spokesperson Steven G. Catalano declined to comment on the presence of officers at the walkout, citing a longstanding department policy not to comment on personnel and security measures.
Austin Siebold '23, who said she was the first to flag Comaroff's courses to the walkout's organizers, said she learned he was teaching this semester after scrolling through Harvard's course catalog.
"I saw this class, it was on colonialism, postcolonialism and decolonialism, and I thought that sounded really interesting and it fit on my schedule," she said. "And then I clicked on it and it was taught by John Comaroff and I was like, 'Holy.'"
Siebold then reached out to activist groups to help plan the event.
"I enrolled in the class and used information I was able to gather from that to help me plan this," she said. "I was the first person in that room."
Our Harvard Can Do Better — an organization focused on combating campus rape culture — described Comaroff's continued presence at the University as "shameful" and called for his resignation in a statement endorsing the walkout.
"This man is not safe to interact with undergraduate students," said organizer Rebecca S. Araten '23.
"Harvard is marketed as a place where all students should be able to succeed and get the best education in the world. And the reality is that our campus promotes a culture of sexual abuse, a culture of misogyny and harassment and discrimination," added Rosalie P. Couture '26, another organizer.
In an emailed statement, Comaroff's attorneys Norman S. Zalkin, Ruth K. O'Meara-Costello '02, and Janet E. Halley wrote that Comaroff "categorically denies that he ought to resign" and that he "is doing nothing to create unsafe conditions for any Harvard student."
"He is fully authorized to teach Harvard students who sign up for his courses," they wrote, adding "the claim that he poses a danger is ludicrous in light of the actual facts."
Harvard spokesperson Rachael Dane declined to comment.

Tenzin R. Gund-Morrow '26, a Crimson editorial editor, said he hopes a new administration will bring changes to the University's policies around handling allegations of harassment and misconduct by faculty.
"I'm just hoping that with any change in the administration, there will be some shift in the policy," Gund-Morrow said. "But obviously, as the organizers said, that is sadly a low chance."
Hannah L. Munzberg '25, who attended the demonstration, said seeing so many other students protesting made her "hopeful."
"It's nice to see that it's not just me that's angry," Munzberg said.
Koby D. Ljunggren, president of HGSU-UAW and a Ph.D. candidate in biophysics, said they were "so proud of our undergrads for collectively getting together and planning this."
"It really warms my heart," they said.
Ljunggren added that while the protest "might be symbolic in nature," continued pressure on the University is critical.
Kilburn, another plaintiff in the lawsuit against Harvard, tweeted that she "wept" upon seeing photos of the protest.
"Because no one should have to go through what I went through with John Comaroff to get an education," Kilburn wrote. "Because Harvard was warned about Comaroff and did nothing, but these students are making sure warnings reach everyone."

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. It is by far the weakest known force in nature and thus plays no role in determining the internal properties of everyday matter.
On the other hand, through its long reach and universal action, it controls the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and elsewhere in the universe. The nature of dark matter remains unknown, but scientists estimate that it is five times as abundant as ordinary matter throughout the universe.

He argued that the geometric nature of the laws of reflection and refraction could only be explained if light is made of particles, which he referred to as corpuscles, as waves don't tend to travel in straight lines.
The graviton must be a spin-2 boson because the source of gravitation is the stress–energy tensor, a second-order tensor (compared with electromagnetism's spin-1 photon, the source of which is the four-current, a first-order tensor).

Light's raw energy is conserved as mass and momentum; light's "non-local" intrinsic motion or entropy drive (as "gauged" by "velocity c") is conserved in "local" matter as time and gravitation. All forms of energy, including the entropic conservation domain of spacetime, originate as light.
At this time we don't know what most of dark matter is. We do know that all dark matter particles are without electrical charge.
Fundamental particles can have a number of intrinsic characteristics. These include electrical charge, mass, angula. As two black holes merged together some billion light years away, a whopping three solar masses worth of matter was converted into the energy of gravitational waves.
This book focuses on the phenomena of inertia and gravitation, one objective being to shed some new light on the basic laws of gravitational interaction and the fundamental nature and structures of spacetime.
Chapter 1 is devoted to an extensive, partly new analysis of the law of inertia. The wave nature of matter allows it to exhibit all the characteristics of other, more familiar, waves.

The speed of gravity was found to be the same as the speed of light. There is no reason for a delay with the sun, the gravitational field of the sun is quite uniform in time.

When is it safe to go back to sports?
Every concussion is different, so there's no standard timeline for resuming pre-concussion activities. Doctors generally say that physical activity should begin slowly, first with walking and then slow jogging. If no symptoms — like dizziness or headache — recur, the person can resume more active sports. After an initial rest period, doctors say activity is probably good for the brain. But a subsequent concussion can be more dangerous and require a longer recovery.
Many local schools have begun requiring students to take computerized assessments, such as the IMPACT test, to provide a baseline of the student's normal mental performance. After an injury, the test is readministered and results are compared. After a concussion, it may take a while for students to resume their full course load. Doctors usually suggest students drop the subjects that can be most easily picked up after a break.
Why is a concussion often worse in children than adults?
Children through adolescence are thought to face more danger because their brains are still developing. Through adolescence, brain cells are adding insulation, called myelination, which helps transmit signals and strengthens brain connections. The brain is more vulnerable to damage before it is fully myelinated. The heads of younger children are large relative to their bodies and their necks not as strong, which causes more movement upon impact, potentially causing more injury to the brain.

Ghana Midfielder Prince Buaben Set For Hearts Exit
Ghana midfielder Prince Buaben Abankwah will be one of the high-profile names to leave Hearts of Midlothian this summer.
Buaben, who joined the Jambos in the 2014 season from English lower-tier side Carlisle United, has been mentioned as one of the two players whose contracts will not be renewed when it expires at the end of the season.
According to Scottish tabloid Express Sport, manager Craig Levein is looking to augment his squad at least with nine players in the summer.
The reports indicate that the club's head of recruitment John Murray is looking to acquire two goalkeepers, left-back, a centre-half, defensive and offensive central midfielders, two strikers and a winger.
The news will come as a big blow to the 29-year-old midfielder, who has been largely deployed as a centre-back for the club in the ongoing campaign.
The one-capped Ghana international has made 17 appearances in the Scottish Premier League this term.

African countries have been tasked to strengthen institutions that can resolve unending conflicts in the Eastern Africa region.
The Speaker of the Ethiopian National Parliament, Ato Abadula Gemeda, gave the counsel at the Regional Parliamentary Meeting on the Promotion, Ratification and Domestication of African Union Legal Instruments for the Eastern Africa in Ethiopia.
Gemeda says the region is currently facing challenges in peace and security, hence need for bodies like Parliament to foster processes to build stronger democratic institutions that will play a key role in conflict resolution.
He adds that MPs should coordinate and promote the ratification, domestication and popularization of African Union instruments at both the regional and international levels.
During the same meeting, the vice chairman of the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs committee, Stephen Baka called for support to the Pan African Parliament, noting that a transformed continental parliament with legislative functions will be better positioned to tackle hindrances to development on the continent.

Center serves Houston seniors under new ownership
Michael Dinneen photo for Senior Voice
Employee Jim Bowles serves up a meal to Pamela Peterson at Mid-Valley Senior Center in Houston.
After four years of closure, Mid-Valley Senior Center in Houston is under new ownership and providing meals on a regular schedule, although services are severely curtailed for now due to the coronavirus. In January, Wasilla Area Seniors, Inc. (WASI) finalized a deal to take ownership of the center, along with one of its senior apartment buildings. WASI, which owns and operates the Wasilla Senior Center and several Wasilla senior housing complexes, had already been catering meals on a contractor basis at the Houston center for about a year in an effort to serve seniors in the area.
The meals are prepared in the Wasilla Senior Center kitchen, driven to the Houston center and served for lunch.
"Wasilla Seniors started catering meals out there in April (2019)," WASI CEO Chuck Foster said. During that time, Mid-Valley Seniors, Inc., was wrapping up its affairs to dissolve the organization, but wanted to be sure local seniors were served, Foster said.
Meals are served Monday through Friday at noon. The center opens at 11:30 and wraps up at 1 p.m. In March, Foster said, "There are about 90, probably 100 people now, that we have seen come through. But not everyone comes every day. Probably about 20 people show up on a given day." He noted the turnout is larger for menu favorites: "Everybody is going to come for pot roast. Today, we had a seafood platter and a whole lot of people show up for that."
During the coronavirus self-isolation mandate, meals are being provided on a carry-out basis only at the Mid-Valley center. Menus are posted on the center's Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/midvalleyseniorcenter.
Program Manager Toby Hagelberger, standing, speaks to some of the diners at Mid-Valley Senior Center.
Ownership of the Houston center was officially transferred as a donation to WASI in January, along with the 8-unit Blueberry Pointe Senior Housing, also in Houston. Although the senior center went through a time of closure, Blueberry Pointe has remained stable, Foster said. "Those units are highly sought after. It's very rare for anyone to move into those buildings and choose to move out."
Future goals include bringing back classes, recreational activities, health fairs, and other events and services usually found at a senior center, Foster said. "Our intention is for Mid-Valley to continue its identity as serving its area's seniors," he said, noting that there are a lot of seniors living in the area. "But of course this all presupposes that that's what the senior themselves want." He said there are plans to conduct some surveys this spring to learn more about the local wants and needs. For more information, call WASI at 907-376-3104.

It doesn't have too much excess plant capacity, a costly surplus that is driving rival General Motors Co. to idle five plants as early as next year. It doesn't have too many salaried workers, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz told the Detroit Economic Club Wednesday, just as GM prepares to lay off 6,000 white-collar employees as soon as next month.
And Japan's No. 1 automaker doesn't have too many car models in U.S. showrooms, even as the boss concedes there's "a depression" in the U.S. car market only beginning to show signs of bottoming — not that Toyota has plans to emulate GM and Ford Motor Co. by dumping its Camry midsize and Corolla compact sedans.
It doesn't, he made clear. The exits of Detroit automakers from the American car market spell opportunity for the likes of Toyota, Honda Motor Co., Nissan Motor Co. and their South Korean rivals to grab shrinking market share that is, nonetheless, market share.
The problems Toyota does have, along with just about every other automaker operating in the United States: how to negotiate the Auto 2.0 challenges of mobility, autonomy and electrification and, second, the threats posed by President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs on imported vehicles and parts.
The president's economic-policy-by-tweet has an entire industry on edge. GM and Ford say the tariffs are eating something like $1 billion each in unrealized profits. Germany's Big Three of BMW AG, Daimler AG and Volkswagen AG broke with their own government in Berlin and the European Union to come to Washington this week to lobby personally Team Trump.
Toyota's steel costs are up 40 percent, despite buying 90 percent of the stuff from U.S. producers. And it figures the president is more likely to exit the North American Free Trade Agreement and jettison its successor, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, if a new Congress pushes Trump to renegotiate some of its terms and he refuses.
That would be a whole lot of not good for any automaker, foreign or domestic, building cars, trucks and SUVs in the United States with American employees. Already the so-called USMCA would establish the highest domestic-content requirements of any existing trade agreement, a politically popular move with the Trump base that nonetheless has real-world consequences for the industry and people who buy its products.
Boring times it's not. Even as Trump the "Tariff Man" is using 19th-century tactics to reshape an industry preparing to plunge deeply into 21st-century technology, automakers from Toyota and VW to GM and Ford are placing big bets on Auto 2.0. And they're pushing hard to raise cash so they can do even more.
Lentz's take: Toyota needs to keep selling cars, trucks and SUVs to generate cash and to retain its loyal customer base. And that includes developing mobility solutions that can get customers across the road as easily as they can get across town.
"We have to be agile enough to change as we go through," he said. "We have to take a hard look at what creates value for our customers and for the company."
In other words, make choices. Understand that vehicles, even whole business lines, that do not deliver strategic value and little profit should be discontinued and the cash directed elsewhere. And decide, like Toyota did when it euthanized its trendy Scion brand and applied its millennial learning back to the namesake brand.
It's not easy, executives say, but it's necessary. As Lentz addressed the Economic Club, GM CEO Mary Barra held the first of two days of conversations in Washington with lawmakers urging her to reconsider plans to idle four U.S. plants, lay off 6,000 salaried employees and affect the jobs of at least 3,300 hourly workers.
She deflected, saying today's auto industry "is transforming faster than I've ever seen in my 38-year career." Lentz basically said as much, too, because it's true.

Q: What are the subspaces in $P_2$? Let L be the sum of certain subspaces$M_1,M_2,\ldots,M_n(n>2)$ and show that L is the direct sum of these subspaces if and only if  each $M_{i}$ is disjoint from the subspace spanned by all other.This part is proved.
Show that the converse of this statement is false by exhibiting
three subspaces $M_1,M_2,M_3$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that
$$M_1 \cap M_2=M_1 \cap M_3=M_2 \cap M_3=\{0\}$$
and $M_1 \cap (M_2+M_3)\neq \{0\}$
I tried that in$\mathbb{R}^3$
$$M_1=\{(x,y,z) \in \mathbb \mid x+y+z=0\}$$
$$M_2=\{x=z=0\}$$
$$M_3=\{x=y=0\}$$
So, i got the example in $\mathbb{R}^3$
Now,
Is it possible to find this type of example in $P_2$(polynomials having $\leq 2$ degree over $\mathbb{R}$) ?
I tried that
$$M_1=\{a+bx\mid a,b \in \mathbb{R}\}$$
$$M_2=\{cx^2\mid c \in \mathbb{R}\}$$
What will be the $M_3$? or if any other three subspaces are there then also tell me.
satisfying above criteria.please help me.Thanks in advance.

A: $P_2(\mathbb{R})$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$,
You can identify $a+bx+cx^2$ with $(a,b,c)$ . I didn't check your example, but, if it's right,
then you can take the same example:
$M_1=\{a+bx+cx^2;(a,b,c) \in \mathbb{R}^3, a+b+c=0 \}$
$M_2=\{0+bx+0x^2;(0,b,0) \in \mathbb{R}^3\}$
$M_3=\{0+0x+cx^2;(0,0,c) \in \mathbb{R}^3\}$
You can identify $a+bx+cx^2$ with $(a,b,c)$

A: Hint:
As vector spaces, $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $P_2$ are isomorphic, because they have the same dimension.  See if you can translate your example in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to one in $P_2$.


If oil has the potential to destabilize or grow a nation's economy, very few economists are concerned with the negative economic impact of wind power. While wind is a resource that hasn't attracted mass investment yet in Africa, it's often a great resource for isolated communities that have no other steady source of electrical power.
One of those areas is the Mastala Village in the Kasungu district of Malawi, where William Kamkwamba grew up. It's a rural agricultural area about three hour's travel from the capital, Lilongwe. Like many rural parts of Africa, there's no grid electrical power. But there is wind.
William had to drop out of secondary school in 2002 because his family lacked funds to pay his school fees. Determined to continue his education, he started reading books from the primary school library, which had been contributed by USAID in a teacher training scheme. He discovered a pair of books on energy, one of which included the design for a windmill, and he began work on a five meter tall windmill near his family's home, built from scrap timber, an old bicycle frame, and blades made from PVC pipe heated and pounded into flat blades. The windmill powers a bicycle dynamo, designed to power a bicycle's headlamp. William ran the bicycle dynammo through a transformer, which provided enough power to charge a 12 volt battery. That battery in turn powers four lights, two radios and a mobile phone charger in William's home.
Dr. Hartford Mchazime, the director of the Malawian training academy where William had found the books came to visit the village and was told about William's windmill. He was so impressed by the young man's ingenuity that he arranged for William to begin attending secondary school at government expense, and asked a reporter from the Malawi Daily Mail to report on the wind project. The Daily Mail story caught the attention of Malawian software developer and blogger Soyapi Mumba, whose post got picked up by Hactivate, Afrigadget and other blogs. Emeka Okafor from Timbuktu Chronicles – curator of the TED Global conference in Arusha – was so impressed that he arranged for William to come to the Arusha as a conference fellow.
William stands atop his windmill, which now is 12 meters high.
William's work stole the show at TED, where he gave a three minute talk about his work and answered questions on stage from Chris Anderson. More than a few of the TED attendees were moved by his story and agreed to subsidize William's education, both in and out of the classroom. Tom Rielly from the TED team is visiting Malawi with William this week to talk about the best ways to help William, consulting with Dr. Mchazime, William's family and Soyapi and others of the African bloggers who've had the experience of moving from homes in rural areas to secondary schools in bigger cities. While the TED community is able to raise the money that would be necessary to send William to secondary school anywhere on the continent, Tom is looking for all sorts of opportunities for William to learn more, both formally and informally, both in classrooms and in machine shops.
William shows off his transformer and battery system in his house. Photo by Tom Rielly.
Tom has been sending notes and pictures from the road to some of the TED community. It's been very humbling to see what this young man has accomplished with hard work, patient reading and almost no money. The photo above shows a wall-switch for the lights in his family's house that William engineered from PVC pipe, springs, wire and rubber from flip-flops. I take a certain amount of pride in my ability to build complex things from simple parts… but I've got a Home Depot down the road, disposeable income and a pickup truck. Ask me to wire my house using plastic conduit, bare copper wire and a used pair of shoes and I'd laugh at you. William would get to work and get the job done.
I'm not the only one who found William to be an inspiration. Nii Simmons, a Ghanaian-American entrepreneur, points to William's ingenuity, and his statement, "I saw, I make," as an inspiration for his own work. Hash has a great version of William's story on his blog as well, and Juliana has a great video interview with Simon Mwacharo, the founder of Craftskills, a group in Kibera, Nairobi, which is building renewable energy projects in African cities. It's likely that Mwacharo will be a great resource for William in the future… and that William is an inspiration for Mwacharo and anyone who cares about African innovation and ingenuity.
William's not the only new African blogger to appear on the web this week. Ike Anya and Chikwe Ihekweazu have both leapt onto the scene with their new blog, Nigeria Health Watch, which looks at public health issues and innovations in Africa's most populous nation. Welcome, guys. It's a great time to be a reader of African blogs – if you're not getting your daily dose, take a spin by BlogAfrica, Afrigator or Global Voices and make sure you're getting your recommended daily allowance of African innovation.

Thanks so much for this blog. I don't think I've seen a single mention of TED in the american media (maybe I just missed it, but I wouldn't be surprised at total absence).
I think William's story should be inspirational to almost anyone. If he can do so much with so little, it says a lot about the people out there who are at a loss if their shirt rips or something. Thank goodness there seems to be some resurgence of "make culture" here lately, though it has a long way to go.
But in William's case specifically, I really hope his design and story spreads wide. With all the talk of how effective different kinds of aid really are, that seems like a perfect example of how a little thing could make a big impact. More aid in terms of teaching basic electronics, providing cheap small parts, etc seem like they could do a lot.
Anyway, thanks for providing all the information to people like me who are a world away and who wouldn't otherwise know much of what was going on over there.
I have discovered something puzzling about this story.
In this post, you can also see a photo of the books he received. Strangely, it is exactly the same stack of books seen sitting on the bed in this post, dated June 20, 2007.
What I find strange is that in his own blog, Mr. Kamkwamba claims to have received the books in July, however, the books appear in this blog from a post in June.
I, too, am very inspired by Mr. Kamkwamba, and I would hope that those sharing his story would never exploit him unknowningly.

The pattern MINI RIVA is like the wind, blowing along the Mediterranean Sea and creating mostly soft and occasionally strong waves. The wall, furnished with the pattern Mini Riva gives the illusion of a wavy sea surface. The rough stone structure creates a classic rustic look and gives the space a hint of soft sharpness. The pattern is suitable for outdoor and indoor use.
