Canisius College /kəˈniːʃəs/ is a private Jesuit college in Buffalo, New York. It was founded in 1870 by Jesuits from Germany and is named after St. Peter Canisius.
One of 28 Jesuit institutions in the nation, Canisius offers more than 100 undergraduate majors and minors and around 34 master's and certificate programs.
"Canisius" has its roots in the Jesuit community that arose from disputed ownership of St. Louis Church in Buffalo in 1851. Rev. Lucas Caveng, a German Jesuit, along with 19 families from St. Louis Church, founded St. Michael's Church on Washington St. The college followed, primarily for serving sons of German immigrants, along with the high school in 1870, first at 434 Ellicott St. and next to St. Michael's. In 1913 construction of the Old Main building at 2001 Main St. was completed. The early presidents of the college were German Jesuits.
Canisius offers more than 100 majors, minors, and special programs. The college is accredited by the Middle States Association Commission on Higher Education, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In fall 2009, Canisius College introduced a new major in Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation. Other new majors include Creative Writing, Health and Wellness, and Journalism. With the George E. Schreiner '43, MD, Pre-Medical Center as an asset, the college caters strongly to the biological and health science fields and holds close relationships with both the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM).
Canisius has on campus about 90 clubs and organizations, vetted by the Undergraduate Student Association and its Senators. Program offerings include the Best of Buffalo series, Fusion game nights, the Fall Semi-Formal, the Canisius Royals competition, the Mass of the Holy Spirit with Fall BBQ and Bonfire, Griffin Week, and Griff Fest (formerly "Quad Party" & "Springfest"). With a growing student population in its colleges, Buffalo has begun offering free Canal-side concerts, along with "Shakespeare in the Park", the Polish Broadway Market, Silo City "Boom Days" (on Buffalo's industrial history), and Dyngus Day.
The college sponsors 20 NCAA Division 1 Athletic teams and is a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) as well as the Atlantic Hockey Conference. Men's sports include baseball, ice hockey, and golf. Women's sports include volleyball and softball. The Golden Griffins compete in the NCAA Division I and are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) for most sports, except for men's ice hockey which competes in the Atlantic Hockey Association. In 2013, the men's ice hockey team won its first Atlantic Hockey Championship, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In 2008, Canisius men's lacrosse won the MAAC tournament and earned its first bid to the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament.
The Women's Lacrosse team won MAAC Championships four years in a row (2010-2014). The 2008 Baseball team won its first regular season MAAC championship, with a 41-13 season, and the following year made its first appearance in the MAAC Championship game. In 2013, the team won the MAAC Championship and received its first bid to the NCAA tournament. The Canisius College softball team won the 2009 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament for its 3rd consecutive title, marking the team's 11th trip to the NCAA tournament in 15 years. In its rivalry with Niagara University Canisius won the Canal Cup two of the first three years (2008 and 2009). Intramural sports are also offered for students, faculty, and staff.
Canisius' mascot is the Golden Griffin. The college adopted the griffin as a mascot in 1932, after Charles A. Brady ('33) wrote a story in a Canisius publication honoring Buffalo's centennial year as a city. Brady wrote about Jesuit-educated explorer Rene-Robert LaSalle's Le Griffon, which was built in Buffalo. The griffin was first used on the La Salle medal in 1932 and from there spread to the college newspaper and sports teams. According to GoGriffs.com, the griffin is a "legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet." It represents values such as courage, boldness, intelligence, and strength befitting students and athletes alike.
The College was also the first home field of the Buffalo All-Americans of the early National Football League. Around 1917 Buffalo manager Barney Lepper signed a lease for the team to play their home games at Canisius College. The All-Americans played games at Canisius before relocating to Bison Stadium in 1924.
Canisius College's fraternities and sororities are overseen by the Canisius College Office of Student Life; hazing is ruled out. The three college-approved Greek organizations on campus are the Lambda chapter of the fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp), the sorority Phi Sigma Sigma, and the professional organization Alpha Kappa Psi (AK Psi). Also there is a Classics Club which fosters interest in the study of ancient Greek and Roman history, language, and culture; it hosts events like readings and discussions of ancient texts, Saturnalia, and alcohol-free toga parties. The club fosters the Jesuit value of a Classical education, as well as cura personalis.
Canisius College is the Reserve Officer Training Corps hub for Western New York. The Golden Griffin Battalion is composed of students from Canisius, University at Buffalo (UB), Hilbert College, D'Youville College, Daemen College, Medaille College, Buffalo State College, and Erie Community College.
In the fall of 2007, the college announced plans to raise $90 million by the year 2012 for capital improvements and to enhance the college's endowment. A Legacy of Leadership: The Campaign for Canisius College was the largest fund-raising initiative in the college's history. Of the $90 million goal, $47 million was designated to fund the creation of an interdisciplinary science center at the college. The undertaking created a vital physical and visual connection between various parts of the campus. Included in this program was the full acquisition of a 1,500 space parking garage which provided room for additional commuter students. The college announced on November 20, 2008 the acquisition of the building from The Uniland Partnership of Delaware LP. A Legacy of Leadership: The Campaign for Canisius concluded on May 31, 2012 and surpassed its goal by $5.5 million. Phase I of the college's interdisciplinary science center (Science Hall) opened in August 2012.
Canisius is served by two stations on the Buffalo Metro Rail, the Humboldt-Hospital Station near Sisters Hospital and the Delavan Canisius College Station near the Koessler Athletic Center, at opposite ends of the campus, as well as by Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority by bus. Shuttle service and Metro passes are also available for students.
The student weekly newspaper is The Griffin, which replaced The Canisian in 1933 and went online in 2013. The annual Quadrangle magazine contains student writings, artwork, and photographs. The Azuwur is the College yearbook. Public-access television cable TV broadcasts to Canisius College from its fourth floor studio at Lyons Hall. The WIRE, replacing WCCG, is the college's radio station, which broadcasts over the campus television system and is online through the College website. The Courier is a magazine-style opinion-orientated publication, begun in 2006. It allows students to freely express their opinions, however controversial.
Christ the King Chapel, designed by Buffalo architect Duane Lyman, is centrally located to "symbolize its importance". It was completed in 1951 and has seating for 492.
Science Hall was built as a Sears and Roebuck store in 1929. The college has allocated $68 million for its renovation, over $35 million of which has been raised with help from the John R. Oishei Foundation.
The parking ramp originally served the Sears and Roebuck building at 1901 Main St. However, throughout the history of ramp, Canisius students have used it for parking, with Sears advertising in The Griffin that parking was free. Acquisition of the property has eliminated parking problems.
The 11-story Churchill Academic Tower was built in 1971, designed by Leroy H. Welch. It is named for its chief benefactor, Rev. Clinton H. Churchill and his wife Francis. The Tower is routinely derided but serves as a highly functional space.
Built in 1957 and upgraded in 1988 and from 2013 through 2015, Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library, named for Andrew L. Bouwhuis, S.J., college librarian from 1935 to 1955, furnishes extensive area for study and research. It seats 500 people and includes group study rooms, an audio-visual listening/viewing area, a rare book room, an instruction room, a Curriculum Materials Center, and a lounge, along with private study rooms accommodating one to eight people.
Located at 1833 Main Street in Buffalo, the Koessler Athletic Center (KAC) is named after J. Walter Koessler, class of '22. The facility has a swimming pool, two weight rooms, two gymnasiums, and locker rooms and offices for athletic coaches and support staff.
Canisius College Public Safety employs armed peace officers pursuant to NYS CPL 2.10, who are authorized to enforce all Federal, State, and Municipal laws.
Canisius has approximately 40,000 living alumni worldwide who are working in the fields of business, journalism, government, law, medicine, and sports.

Early life exposures to toxic chemicals such as PCBs and DDT dampen an infant's response to the tuberculosis vaccine, according to a new study.
DDT? Banned over 40 years ago but so safe the United States EPA creates guidelines for other countries to spray it inside homes?
It's that pesky 'persistent pollutant' designation which, like endocrine disruptor, is invoked when nothing else is available. Todd Jusko, Ph.D., an assistant professor in epidemiology at the University of Rocheste, lead author of the paper, also says PCBs - banned in the 1970s - are still impacting babies and, in case that doesn't get environmental activist fundraiser juices flowing, that thousand of other pollutants similar to PCBs and DDT have "unknown health implications."
In science, that means there is no evidence of harm. In environmental epidemiology, it means harm is assumed and they are data dredging to find it.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used in manufacturing and in consumer products in the United States until their ban in 1979. DDE is the main breakdown product of the insecticide DDT. With modern detection methods, where science can find one molecule in 30 square miles of land, it is easy to scare people with the notion that "nearly all people have detectable concentrations in their blood" without informing them that it is so far below effect levels as to be meaningless. The U.N.s IARC recently claimed sausage is as dangerous as mustard gas and cigarette smoking, but that does not mean your real risk of harm is the same from either. So it goes with DDT - you have to believe because it is being used in countries with malaria - by UN and US recommendation - it is wafting across the ocean and impacting us.
But because the paper is in Environmental Health Perspectives, pesky details like science don't get asked. Instead, they used mother-infant pairs living in an area of eastern Slovakia, an area famous for environmental toxins during the days of the U.S.S.R., where pools of chemicals still exist and even the guard dogs designed to keep people out are dead. In the 516 babies, the tuberculosis vaccine was given to each baby within four days after birth. Jusko and senior author B. Paige Lawrence, Ph.D., measured the babies' antibody responses to the vaccine six months later.
Chemicals were detected in more than 99 percent of the blood samples - since chemists understand science they would inform the epidemiologists that chemicals should be in 100 percent of the blood samples if the test is any good - but infants who had the highest concentrations of PCBs or anything else detectable in their blood tended to have the lowest antibodies for fighting TB. Babies whose PCB concentrations ranked in the 75th percentile had 37 percent lower antibodies for the TB vaccine, compared to babies with PCB concentrations in the 25th percentile.
Why promote DDT harm then? Because everyone is scared of it in the US and don't realize it has never been shown to cause harm, that is why it is sprayed in countries with malaria. Its association with lower antibodies was negligible but they frame the results to say it still was linked to something.
What confounds this study? The TB vaccine has always been variable - instead of accepting that, as scientists have done for decades, they imply causation and say environmental toxins are why it is variable.
It's great activism, it's just not science.


We had done a bit of painting with and chasing magnets a few days back so I decided to explore some more. I already had colored rice and beans in his sensory bin so the rest took about ten minutes to set up.
I cut up little hearts and fishes from colored paper, put a paperclip on each of them and mixed them up in his red rice tub.
For the fishing stick, I tied one end of a piece of yarn to a stick and one end to a magnet.
As the clips got attracted to and stuck on the magnet, he fished them out one by one!
For my post on Magnets: Introducing, Painting and Chasing, click here.
For my post on What's in our Sensory Bins and How I Color rice, click here.
oh this would be fun :) I did a fishing game where I made fish shapes in felt. This would have been so much easier! pinned!
Felt makes sense! I made them from origami paper that was right in front of my eyes!
LOVE this… it might need to be in my sensory bin this week!
Your magnetic fishing game is great. I bet it will keep kids bury for hours. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop! I hope you'll join us again next week!
My daughter would love this. What a could way to help them practice eye hand coordination.
Love this! I'm going to find a magnet ASAP! Pinning.
What a great idea! Just by changing the cut-out shapes this will work for any time of year. I am also going to pop over and see how you colored the beans and rice, Too clever! Thanks for sharing.
This is so cute! Thanks so much for joining us at the #HomeMattersParty - we hope to see you again next week!
This would be a lot of fun for my kids!
Thank you lovely ladies for your encouraging comments!
How fun and colourful! I loved that were able to re-use what you already had around. Thanks for linking up with Mom's Library, I'll be featuring you this week at Castle View Academy. Happy Valentine's Day!
I have played this game with kids before and it is super fun! Never thought of fishing for hearts. Great Valentines Day activity! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
I love this!! Such a cute Valentine's idea! Would love to see you at my craft party which is new Thursdays at 7pm EST. I pin every instruction post! Have a great rest of the week!
What a fun motor control activity. Thanks for sharing on the #HomeMattersParty I hope you will join us again next week.
Too cute. I love how easy it is to make. Thanks for linking up at the Bloggers Spotlight.
This is great! What a creative idea. Thank you for joining the Learn & Play Link Up! You were featured on Christian Montessori Network this week.
What an adorable game. Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup.
So pretty and a perfect valentine's craft for little ones. We often play the fishing game using bracken leaves as fish and sticky weed as a rod, same effect as the bracken sticks to the sticky weed, except you can only do it in summer! This is a great winter alternative.

Arthur Horatio Parnell (14 October 1852 – 4 April 1933) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Council.

Early years

Parnell was born at Pimlico, London, to Horatio Inglis Parnell and his wife Louisa (née Davis). He attended St. John's College, Battersea before going on to St. Mark's College, Chelsea and in 1871, his family sailed to Australia aboard the Light Brigade. Within a few weeks of having arrived, his father died in Rockhampton.

Parnell started work at a station in the St Lawrence area of Queensland and later managed a general store in Peak Downs. He eventually ran his own general store and two of his sons continued on the business.

Political career
Parnell began his political career in local councils. He was a member of the Livingstone Shire Council, and chairman of both the Kargoolnah and Barcaldine Divisional Boards.

As an independent, Parnell contested the seat of Barcoo in the 1893 colonial election but was defeated by the Labour candidate, George Kerr. He moved to Rockhampton and was often asked to once again stand for election at a state level but always refused and instead became of member of the Rockhampton Council in 1902, eventually going on to be mayor in 1904 and 1907.

In March 1908, he was appointed by William Kidston to the Queensland Legislative Council and served for 14 years until the Council was abolished in March 1922. By then he had virtually retired from politics and was living at Taringa in Brisbane, having moved there in 1913.

Personal life
On 24 May 1877, Parnell married Barbara Elizabeth Esther Warry (d.1896) and together had 10 children.
Survived by three sons, four daughters and a step-daughter, Parnell died at his home in April 1933. His funeral was a private affair and proceeded from his Taringa home to the Toowong Cemetery.

Charred vehicles outside of a bombed gas station in Syria today.
DAMASCUS – Syrian government warplanes targeted a northern town today, hitting a gas station and triggering an explosion that killed at least 55 people, opposition forces said.
It's the latest salvo in Syria's bloody 18-month-old civil war that shows no sign of letting up. Dozens were wounded in the airstrike in Raqqa province that two opposition groups said was carried out by Syrian government aircraft.
The opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria distributed videos of the site, a flat and barren landscape. They showed black smoke, charred and destroyed vehicles, holes in the ground and people milling around corpses.
The strike came a day after rebels seized a border crossing in Raqqa near Syria's border with Turkey.
Earlier today, five people were reported killed from aerial shelling of residential neighborhoods in Aleppo, and MiG warplane activity was reported in Damascus countryside villages, the LCC said.


South Bank Churches developed and held the first Pop-Up Church in 2013. Pop-Up Church is an exciting flashmob-style public event, where hundreds of people join together in a rousing chorus of the well-known hymn Amazing Grace. During the song, participants and members of the public are encouraged not only to sing but to contribute non-perishable food items to a Food Mountain (donated to the Waterloo Foodbank) which becomes a centrepiece of the flashmob. After the singing, a leader of a church marks the event with a prayer, and then all disperse.
Go to the South Bank Churches homepage to see the video of our 2016 event.
For people on low incomes, a sudden crisis – redundancy, benefit delay, illness or even an unexpected bill – can mean going hungry. Every day parents in Lambeth skip meals to feed their children and people are forced to choose between paying the rent or eating. Waterloo Foodbank exists to provide emergency support to local people in crisis by giving them three days' worth of food.
For more information on the Foodbank, click here to visit the Foodbank website.
With 2014 marking the centenary of the start of World War One, this was a fantastic opportunity for South Bank Churches to facilitate bringing local together young people in an act of commemoration. Our aim was to offer young people from all our local schools the opportunity to be part of a poignant and inspiring project and an engaging way of participating in this globally-significant anniversary.
We invited 20 of the closest schools in North Lambeth & Southwark to join us, and around 850 students from either Year 6 or Year 7 took part in a special commemorative Peace service, specifically designed by young people, for young people.

Cisco, antivirus companies team to battle worms
Paul Roberts (IDG News Service) 19 November, 2003 07:39
Leader Computers
Tech Data Australia
Westcon – Comstor
Networking equipment maker Cisco Systems on Tuesday announced licensing agreements with three leading antivirus software companies and a new program that it said will protect computer networks from worms and viruses.
The Cisco Network Admission Control program will enable Cisco routers to evaluate information, such as whether a particular computer's antivirus definitions are up to date and its operating system is adequately patched, before allowing it to connect to a network, Cisco said.
The new program was developed jointly by Cisco and antivirus companies Network Associates (NAI), Symantec and Trend Micro and will address the security risks posed by remote and mobile computer users who are connecting to corporate networks using home broadband connections or even PDAs (personal digital assistants), Cisco said.
Many organizations recently stopped worms such as Blaster and Nachi at their network perimeter using firewall and IDS (intrusion detection system) software. However, some of those companies suffered anyway when mobile workers and telecommuters became infected through unprotected home Internet connections, then brought their infected machines to work or logged in to corporate networks using a dial-up or VPN (virtual private network) connection.
Cisco Network Admissions Control will prevent such infections by allowing Cisco routers to enforce access privileges when a remote computer attempts to connect to a network. Noncompliant devices can be denied access, quarantined or allowed only limited access to network computing resources, Cisco said.
At the heart of the new system is a new software client called the Cisco Trust Agent, which is installed on laptops, home desktops or servers, or mobile devices that will be connecting to a computing network. The Trust Agent collects information from other security software clients including antivirus clients, and relays that information to Cisco devices on the network.
NAI, Symantec and Trend Micro have licensed the Trust Agent software from Cisco and will be integrating it with their own software clients, Cisco said. In related news, NAI said that it will integrate the Trust Agent with McAfee Security technology, as part of the McAfee Trusted Connection Strategy program.
Cisco is also integrating the Trust Agent with the Cisco Security Agent, a software client for servers and desktop systems that provides integrated firewall, intrusion detection and content-based security. That integration will enable Cisco networks to enforce access policies based on whether or not a machine's operating system is adequately patched, Cisco said.
The new program marks a shift in tactics for addressing the threats posed by worms and viruses, according to Chris Christiansen, an analyst at IDC.
Previously, many security companies treated user desktop and laptop computers mainly as the target of malicious code. The Cisco Network Admission Control program, incorporating the lessons of Blaster and other recent attacks, treats them as transmission points for attacks on the network infrastructure, he said.
"There's a recognition that the network is the true destination of the attack and that routers and switches need to have the ability to protect the network," Christiansen said.
While the new program initially involves only major antivirus and security vendors, Cisco will, in the future, release an API (application program interface) that allows other companies to integrate the new Cisco technology with their products, Christiansen said.
In the meantime, the new program is sure to make security companies watchful and wary of how the new program develops, especially given Cisco's already strong role as a vendor of IDS, firewall and VPN technology, he said.
That size should help the Network Admission Control program succeed where similar, software client-based programs from other companies, including IBM, have not, according to a technologist at a leading financial services organization who was briefed on the announcement.
Cisco's strength in network hardware will make it easier for the company to link data from the desktop back to key network devices. Features that are already in many Cisco products, such as the ability to logically segment networks into VLANs (virtual LAN), will also make it easier to implement new concepts such as a network quarantine area where inadequately secure systems can be placed and safely download and install software patches and antivirus updates, he said.
However, the need to reconfigure networks to implement quarantine areas and the program's reliance on a software client mean that the Network Admission Control program faces a long road to deployment at many large companies, which need to test and certify all new clients to guarantee they do not conflict with the desktop operating system or applications, he said.

Image Courtesy of stockimages / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Life is too short to be unhappy in your work.
A really relevant topic when it comes to your happiness and wellbeing. It does not matter how many hours you work, provided you're passionate about what you're doing. Quite recently, with my main client, I have had to step up into an extraordinary role due to unexpected circumstances for the time being. Although I have said that unpleasant swear word to myself goodness knows how many times since; yet I am loving the additional responsibilities - even if they are temporary.
Self Avenue Happiness Project Parts 1-6.
It is true. Our work and career, irrespective as to whether or not you work for yourself or for someone else does take up a significant chunk of your time. This is why it is so critical to be happy with you work, as it ebbs and flows into other areas of your life.
Firstly, ask yourself "Am I engaged in work that I absolutely love?"
It is important to be in your flow. Even if it means having to think outside the box; go ahead and take that risk and venture out on your own, and/or do some further study. Don't hold back. Just go for it.
Exercise: think about the work you do, and/or the course you are currently studying. Write down ten things you love about what you're doing right now. If you don't know, ask yourself: "if I did know, what would these ten things be?"
After this, write down ten things you do not like about your current work and/or study. Come up with solutions with what you do not like. It may mean seeking a mentor, and/or changing your perspective around the situation.
Are there more positives than negatives? Any patterns emerging? What can you change to do more of what makes you happy?
Quality questions are everything. I took that leap of faith almost three years ago to quit law and move into freelance writing, even though there are many better writers than me out there. With hard work and persistence, combined with passion - your dreams will manifest.
If there are things that you're unhappy about in your career - is it because of a specific person you need to work with? The company itself?
If you work from home, ensure your office has a door, and is located in a separate room in your house. Relaxation comes from keeping your living room and work space separate.
Give yourself a bit of time away from the computer and reflect on your work.
Just find out what you love doing, and find a way to do it.

Why We At Mavs Moneyball Do What We Do
By LJTynan Apr 5, 2011, 9:02pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Why We At Mavs Moneyball Do What We Do
I had several people, including higher-ups at SBNation, ask me if I planed to respond to Mark Cuban's blog post about internet journalists and their presence in the Mavericks' locker room. At first I wanted to just let it blow over, because the negative parts didn't really apply to this site. But I read it again and decided why the heck not. And don't worry- this won't be some ranty, angry diatribe about David versus Goliath. I can see where Cuban is coming from. This is just to let you, the reader, know what OUR site is all about.
First and foremost, I will describe which of Cuban's category I and my writers fall into. We are internet journalists, yes, but we are unpaid. Well I make a little cash every month but that's for managing this site, not for producing content. Hell, I could refrain from posting a single word and I'd still get paid, but that's not how I roll. My faithful writers do this for the same reason I do- because we absolutely love the Dallas Mavericks. Mavs Moneyball is content built by and for fans, and because the Mavericks organization is as awesome as it is, we are lucky to be given inside access.
Those of you who frequent our site are often fortunate to read the stellar, in-depth analysis of our own beat writer, Bryan Gutierrez. The guy works tirelessly to bring us the inside scoop, and he does it for no other reason than his love for the team. I, myself, am a long-distance fan located on the East Coast, and when the Mavs travel here I, too, am given team access and treated with the same respect that is given to the regulars down in Dallas. So before any of you other bloggers get up in arms about the organization and how Cuban runs it, please understand that the man is entitled to his opinion just as we, the bloggers, are.
Yes, this means that sometimes our posts will be negative and even apocalyptic in nature, but that's because we're fans and we are prone to fits of emotion when our team isn't doing too well. But here at MMB, we try to balance that opinion-based writing with intellectual, analytic basketball journalism that we feel ranks up there with the top sports sites.
Every so often, I think about how fun it would be to work for a bigger site (if I had the talent, which, let's face it, I don't) but then I realize I wouldn't have the freedom, nor would the other writers, to blog as fans. I sometimes pity the pros because they have to appear unbiased, while we get to inject our love and passion into the pieces we write. The fact that we have been granted access only makes us that much more passionate, and that much more willing to support the team that supports us.

The Screen Machines: Take A Break!
Research has found that excessive blue light exposure suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, more than any other type of light. It's no surprise then that engineers are also the profession whose sleep suffers the most, with 72% agreeing that too much screen time during the day affects their sleep.
They were followed by two thirds (66%) of IT specialists, nearly half (45%) of teachers, two fifths (40%) of accountants and just over a third (34%) of admin staff saying that too much screen time affects their sleep.
Five simple tips for keeping eyes healthy.


There will be variations in size & appearance because it is handmade but that's what makes it even more special and unique. Listing is for one bar of solid soap. Each one weighs approximately 90 grams.
Formulated with rich oils to create a creamy and bubbly lather!
For a longer lasting bar, keep in a dry ventilated area when not in use.
Fragrance: A fresh and energizing mix of eucalyptus and spearmint. Smells just like Irish Spring.


I have a major crush on just about everything at Banana Republic lately and their new fall arrivals are no exception. My wish list is already a mile long & growing more every day (I mean, how chic are these tasseled flats?). I scored this vest on sale last week and have been wearing it non-stop. I love the draped fabric and, because it's a darker color, it will transition nicely into the fall (if it's warmer where you live, I'd layer it over a striped tank with denim shorts). Right now, Banana Republic is running an amazing deal where you can get 40% off your purchase using code TREAT (ends at midnight tonight!). To help you navigate the sale, I've created four looks below using some of my top picks from their site (all under $70 when you use the discount code).

Exclusive: An inside look at the new E Tautz pop-up shop
By Teo van den Broeke 16 November 2018
Patrick Grant's E Tautz has helped make Savile Row cool again. Now the man behind the brand is opening a one off pop-up shop for two weeks only
In the space of 13 short years, Patrick Grant – the former winner of the GQ/BFC fashion fund and big name around town – has transformed E Tautz from ailing Savile Row stalwart into legitimate menswear label with a global following.
Known for his knack with a roomy silhouette, a passion for homespun materials such as untreated denim and jumbo cord, Patrick Grant's E Tautz is one of the key fixtures on the London Fashion Week Men's circuit.
Now, from today, for two weeks only, Grant is opening a standalone E Tautz pop-up store in the ultra-chic Pentreath & Hall shop next to Lamb's Conduit Street, just off Holborn in Central London.
Showcasing the new Autumn/Winter 2018 collection, each piece is fully sustainable and produced in the UK. Raw cotton is imported from JG Ballard (the producer, not the writer) in California, the yarn is spun in Dukinfield, just outside Manchester, all products are finished and dyed in Leicester before being cut and sewn in Blackburn.
In today's increasingly sustainability focused market, Grant's new innovation is a step in the right direction for an industry that accounts for some 10 per cent of global carbon emissions and is the second-largest industrial polluter, second only to oil…
"I'm delighted for E Tautz to be taking up residence at the beautiful Pentreath & Hall shop. Ben Pentreath and Bridie Hall are great friends and I believe both philosophically and aesthetically our brands are very much aligned.
"A mix of classicism and modernity with a focus on beautiful proportion and shape, all executed in uncompromisingly beautiful materials. And the neighbourhood around Rugby Street is so colourful and vibrant. We're delighted to be a part of the community, even if it's only for a few weeks."
The E Tautz pop-up shop is open from 16 to 30 November. 17 Rugby Street, London WC1. etautz.com

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff and Friends,
I am pleased to present to you this Guide to our plans for the upcoming fall semester and reopening of our campuses. In form and in content, this coming semester will be like no other. We will live differently, work differently and learn differently. But in its very difference rests its enormous power.
The mission of Yeshiva University is to enrich the moral, intellectual and spiritual development of each of our students, empowering them with the knowledge and abilities to become people of impact and leaders of tomorrow. Next year's studies will be especially instrumental in shaping the course of our students' lives. Character is formed and developed in times of deep adversity. This is the kind of teachable moment that Yeshiva University was made for. As such, we have developed an educational plan for next year that features a high-quality student experience and prioritizes personal growth during this Coronavirus era. Our students will be able to work through the difficulties, issues and opportunities posed by our COVID-19 era with our stellar rabbis and faculty, as well as their close friends and peers at Yeshiva.
To develop our plans for the fall, we have convened a Scenario Planning Task Force made up of representatives across the major areas of our campus. Their planning has been guided by the latest medical information, government directives, direct input from our rabbis, faculty and students, and best practices from industry and university leaders across the country. I am deeply thankful to our task force members and all who supported them for their tireless work in addressing the myriad details involved in bringing students back to campus and restarting our educational enterprise.
In concert with the recommendations from our task force, I am announcing today that our fall semester will reflect a hybrid model. It will allow many students to return in a careful way by incorporating online and virtual learning with on-campus classroom instruction. It also enables students who prefer to not be on campus to have a rich student experience by continuing their studies online and benefitting from a full range of online student services and extracurricular programs.
In bringing our students back to campus, safety is our first priority. Many aspects of campus life will change for this coming semester. Gatherings will be limited, larger courses will move completely online. Throughout campus everyone will need to adhere to our medical guidelines, including social distancing, wearing facemasks, and our testing and contact tracing policies. Due to our focus on minimizing risk, our undergraduate students will begin the first few weeks of the fall semester online and move onto the campus after the Jewish holidays. This schedule will limit the amount of back and forth travel for our students by concentrating the on-campus component of the fall semester to one consecutive segment.
Throughout our planning, we have used the analogy of a dimmer switch. Reopening our campuses will not be a simple binary, like an on/off light switch, but more like a dimmer in which we have the flexibility to scale backwards and forwards to properly respond as the health situation evolves. It is very possible that some plans could change, depending upon the progression of the virus and/or applicable state and local government guidance.
Before our semester begins, we will provide more updates reflecting our most current guidance. Please check our website, yu.edu/fall2020 for regular updates. We understand that even after reading through this guide, you might have many additional questions, so we will be posting an extensive FAQ section online as well. Additionally, we will also be holding community calls for faculty, students, staff and parents over the next couple of months.
Planning for the future during this moment has certainly been humbling. This Coronavirus has reminded us time and time again of the lessons from our Jewish tradition that we are not in full control of our circumstances. But our tradition also teaches us that we are in control of our response to our circumstances. Next semester will present significant challenges and changes. There will be some compromises and minor inconveniences--not every issue has a perfect solution. But faith and fortitude, mutual cooperation and resilience are essential life lessons that are accentuated during this period. And if we all commit to respond with graciousness, kindness, and love, we can transform new campus realities into profound life lessons for our future.
Deeply rooted in our Jewish values and forward focused in preparing for the careers and competencies of the future, we journey together with you, our Yeshiva University community, through these uncharted waters. Next year will be a formative year in the lives of our students, and together we will rise to the moment so that our students will emerge stronger and better prepared to be leaders of the world of tomorrow.

Sephardic News
Fall 2018 - Spring 2019 Issue
The YU Sephardic Community Program (SCP) was established in 1964 for the purpose of assisting Sephardic and Near Eastern communities in establishing a strong and vital presence in North America. Today these communities are growing by leaps and bounds and are in dire need of proper resources that will help them to develop the communal and organizational infrastructure that will keep their communities spiritually thriving for generations.
The SCP was co-founded by Dr. Herbert C. Dobrinsky and Hakham Solomon Gaon A'H with the vision of having YU's community service division play a vital role in nurturing those communities by assisting them to build properly run synagogues and educational institutions. Today, more than 55 years later, their vision has yielded tremendous results and won the respect and admiration of Jewish religious and lay leaders and of countless Sephardim throughout North America. Currently, the SCP still benefits from the leadership of Dr. Dobrinsky. Among his many duties at YU, he still serves as special consultant to the SCP and is integrally involved in its day to day operations.
The Sephardim in the Americas
The SCP was developed at a time when the demographic makeup of the Sephardim in America comprised largely Jews of Spanish-Portuguese and Balkan ancestry. Today, these early Sephardim have been joined by many new groups of Jews from the Middle East who have established formidable communities in America with the help, guidance and services offered by YU's Sephardic Community Program. These Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish communities hail from countries all over the world, including Morocco and other North African nations, Syria and other nations of the Levant, Iran (especially Mashhad), Afghanistan, Bukhara, Iraq, and Yemen, to name a few. Indeed, today Yeshiva University's SCP represents a vast array of Sephardic communities that join under one umbrella as a united Jewish religious and cultural force.
Sephardic Studies
Jacob E. Safra Institute of Sephardic Studies (JSISS)
JSISS is the name given in 1981 to the existing Sephardic studies offerings that were established in 1964. This comprises undergraduate Sephardic studies courses that exist within the various undergraduate Jewish studies programs at Yeshiva College. In prior years, JSISS also produced the various Sephardic academic publications at Yeshiva including the Sephardic Journey Catalogue which was published in conjunction with the YU Museum Sephardic Exhibit in 1992. For more information regarding this program please email sephardic@yu.edu.
Sephardic Community Program (SCP)
This program focuses on spiritual, educational and cultural aspects of Sephardic communal life and is under the direction and leadership of Rabbi Moshe Tessone. The SCP develops and provides new and exciting Sephardic programming for community organizations and institutions in both the Sephardic and Askenazic world as well. This program historically and currently plays a vital role in assisting in the development of new emerging Sephardic communities and in supporting the growth of existing communities and their respective congregations and educational institutions in North America, Latin America, and Europe and beyond. For more information regarding this program or to organize a YU SCP event in your community please contact Rabbi Moshe Tessone at: tessone@yu.edu.
Sephardic Rabbinic Training Program at RIETS
This program trains Sephardic Rabbis through high level rabbinic training in Talmud and Halakhic Codes (Shulhan Arukh) under the tutelage of our esteemed Sephardic Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Eliyahu Ben Haim, who holds the Maxwell R. Maybaum Chair in Talmud and Sephardic Halakhic Codes. Rabbi Ben Haim oversees these students in their intellectual growth of advanced Torah studies and acts as a rabbinic mentor in their professional development. The Maybaum Sephardic Fellowship Fund provides limited scholarships and stipends for select Sephardic students who qualify and who are enrolled in the Sephardic Rabbinic Training Program at RIETS. These students, upon completion of their rabbinic studies plan to serve in the Jewish community as leading Rabbis and educators all over the world. For more information regarding this program please contact Rabbi Moshe Tessone at: tessone@yu.edu.
Graduate Studies Program in Sephardic History and Culture
The Chief Rabbi Dr. Isaac Abraham and Jelena (Rachel) Alcalay Chair in Sephardic Studies (Judeo Spanish) at the Bernard Revel Graduate School for Jewish Studies (BRGS). This program is an endowed graduate program in Sephardic studies under the leadership of Professor Ronnie Perelis, Associate Professor of Sephardic Studies at Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies (BRGS). Dr. Perelis teaches the history and culture of the Sephardim from their roots in Medieval Iberia to their vibrant diaspora communities in the Mediterranean, Middle East, Northern Europe and the Americas. These courses explore the beauty and complexity of Sephardic literature, philosophy, cultural achievements and socio-economic dynamism at both the graduate and the undergraduate level. Students may pursue this course of graduate studies and attain masters and doctoral degrees in their specific related field of interest.

New YU President Rabbi Ari Berman Meets Sephardic Leaders
During the spring 2018 semester, YU President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman met Sephardic lay leaders at an evening event hosted by the Sephardic Council of Overseers (SCO) at YU's Beren Campus.
The SCO is a lay leadership council under the aegis of YU's Sephardic Community Programs and includes representatives from the Syrian, Persian, Iraqi, Moroccan, Judeo-Spanish, Spanish-Portuguese, Bukharin, Yemenite, and other Middle Eastern communities who are active in their respective communities in leadership roles in the various synagogues and Jewish day schools throughout the Sephardic enclaves of NY and NJ.
Rabbi Dr. Herbert C. Dobrinsky, Vice President for University Affairs and founder of Yeshiva's Sephardic Programs in 1964, introduced Rabbi Berman before his keynote presentation to the gathered group of leaders. Rabbi Berman talked warmly and engagingly about the Sephardic students on campus. He also fielded questions and comments from the group regarding his vision for YU as he takes the helm of Yeshiva's leadership into the next exciting era in YU's growth.
Rabbi Moshe Tessone, Director of YU Sephardic Community Program at Yeshiva also addressed the distinguished gathering and reported on the astounding growth of Sephardic populations in North America in the recent 2 decades and the impact that demographic reality has had on the Sephardic enrollment at Yeshiva University. He added that YU is using all the resources available to serve this growing Sephardic student community within the general YU population. Both Dr. Dobrinsky and Rabbi Tessone have been very committed during their years at Yeshiva to serving the Sephardic world at large, and the Sephardic campus community, which is literally a parallel microcosm of the Sephardic population throughout the world.
Dr. Dobrinsky as well as Rabbi Berman and Rabbi Tessone all expressed their excitement at the efforts to grow the partnership with Sephardic leaders and to help to find new ways to promote and strengthen the ties to the Sephardic world. They all encouraged the leaders in attendance to help ignite new and creative opportunities for collaboration that will help promote and provide expanded facilities and additional Sephardic Torah scholars to teach the increasing number of undergraduate Sephardic students at YU, both men and women, who hail not only from the NY/NJ region but from all over the US, North and South America, and beyond.

Afterwards, they would soak it in water so as t soften it before stretching it out on poles.
