About The SOSI Center
Housed at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), the Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence for the Study of STEM Interventions (SOSI Center) is a newly awarded NSF initiative which supports an inter-institutional collaboration between MU, Understanding Interventions that Broaden Participation in Science (UI), and the University of Michigan. The SOSI Center focuses on cultivating the cultural awareness and scholarly productivity of future and existing STEM training program leaders by providing venues for training and development related to critical, strengths-based theories and evidence-based practices. These concepts focus on facilitating underrepresented students' success in STEM through:
exploration of mechanisms that center students' identities, cultures, and experiences, in meaningful ways, within STEM programming, teaching, mentoring, and research;
implementation of research guided by identity-focused, and social-cognitive theoretical frameworks;
methodologies relevant to developing critical scholarly contributions to inform practice and scholarship development and dissemination.
Overview of the SOSI Center Institute
Although there has been growth in recent years in the dissemination of evidence-based practices related to STEM training, practitioners, often trained in the basic sciences, have found the need for training in the relevant social and behavioral sciences not only for implementation but for the generation of scholarship in a translational context, useful for dissemination and adoption.

For the past two years I've lived and worked in over a dozen countries, spending most of the year as a digital nomad living out of a backpack. It's awesome. I talk to a lot of people back home that have never traveled, and have lots of questions about the basics. I compiled these into 10 tips to make that first international adventure go as smoothly as possible.
1. When you pack a suitcase, wrap your shoes in a shower cap.
2. Call your credit or debit card company before traveling internationally so that you're authorized for vacation purchases.
The last thing you want is to be reported for suspicious activity and not have access to your money.
3. Store your loose cables/chargers in an old sunglasses case to keep everything in one place.

The track has come to light thanks to UK techno imprint Opal Tapes' SoundCloud page.
Sometimes you find good content, but it's more often the case that great content finds you. Case in point is this bizarro Christmas version of John Williams' "Theme From Jurassic Park". We stumbled across it this morning on SoundCloud thanks to a repost by abstract UK house and techno label, Opal Tapes.
The song is called "A Jurassic Park Christmas", and it's by an enigmatic SoundCloud user named ewanmc. We'd describe it for you, but you should really just experience it for yourself. If you need to hear the original, check below.

Watch-Worthy
12 Strong Trailer 2 Song Title: Name of the Song Playing in the Movie Trailer
What's the name of the rock song playing in the second trailer of the action war movie 12 Strong starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, and Michael Pena? It featured the following lyrics: "Can't you hear me knocking on your window? Can't you hear me knocking on your door? Hear me ringing big bell tolls. Hear me singing soft and low." Well, the title of the song is Can't You Hear Me Knocking and it's a classic tune by The Rolling Stones. However, the one featured in the 12 Strong movie trailer is a cover by another band.
I tried searching for the name of the recording artist or band behind the cover because it's really good. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful. I contacted someone I know who might be able to pinpoint the artist behind the cover. She said she'll get back to me soon. I'm still waiting for her reply.
Anyway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking is the fourth track in Sticky Fingers, the studio album released by The Rolling Stones in April of 1971. It was named by the Rolling Stone magazine in 2004 as the 25th in their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time". With a run time of over seven minutes, it's one of The Rolling Stones's longest songs. It has been either covered or sampled by various artists and bands like Bernard Fowler, Chuck D, Santana, Scott Weiland, The Bamboos, Release, and The Brown Derbies. The first trailer for the movie also featured a classic rock song as covered by a contemporary artist. I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty was featured on the first trailer. But the trailer used a cover version by Ryan Star (Brand New Day, Stay Awhile, Last Train Home, Breathe). The more popular covers of I Won't Back Down include those by Johnny Cash, Sam Elliot, Pearl Jam, and Kris Kristofferson. About the Movie
12 Strong is an adaptation of the book Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton. It tells the story of the United States Special Forces and Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary officers who were sent to Afghanistan right after the devastating September 11 attacks. The adapted screenplay was written by Ted Tally and Peter Craig. The movie was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig (Return of the Exiled). It stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Pena, Michael Shannon, William Fichtner, Navid Negahban, and Elsa Pataky. It will be released in the United States on January 19, 2018.

Discover Lyon 1
Claude Bernard Lyon 1 is a university that provides teaching for 45,000 students a year in the fields of science and technology, health and sport. Claude Bernard Lyon 1 is part of Université de Lyon, the most important French University site outside the Paris region.
Having established a strong intellectual reputation both in France and throughout the world, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University is continually pushing the boundaries of knowledge, promoting education through research and constantly encouraging dialogue between science and society.
Claude Bernard Lyon 1 is a University for living life to the full. Its campuses, located in the heart of an outstanding region, are lively places with plenty of activities, enabling students to develop and achieve a sense of personal fulfilment. The University Lyon 1 is situated on 11 different sites in four of the principal centres of activity of the Rhône-Alpes region of France : the cities of Lyon, Saint-Etienne and Bourg-en-Bresse and the town of Roanne. The University largely contributes to the development of this region through its partnerships with local and national companies and the regional authorities.
Lyon 1 employs 2900 teacher/researchers and teachers, of which 700 are also hospital practitioners as well as a technical and administrative staff of 1800. Lyon 1 became an autonomous establishment on 1st January 2009 and with a total budget of 405 m€ Lyon 1 is one of the biggest employers of the region.
A welcoming university, with studies that correspond to society's needs
Lyon 1's student population is of nearly 45.000. 54% of this population is female and 18% receive a student's grant. Lyon 1 is also proud to count a large proportion of foreign students (10,5% of its students, of 134 nationalities).
Nearly 80% of students opt for vocational programmes : Lyon 1 produces no less than 9250 graduates per year.
The study programmes on offer in the health science faculties give access to the totality of the medical professions (doctor of medicine, pharmacist, dentist, midwife) and paramedical professions (audioprosthesist, ergotherapist, physiotherapist, speech therapist, orthoptist, physiotherapist specialised in psychomotor integration).
Lyon 1's science sector also offers a vast choice of subjects: the DUT diploma provides training in 17 areas of expertise for future technical managers. 57 vocational bachelor's degrees prepare students for middle management jobs. 111 master's degrees (vocational, reasearch or combined vocational and reasearch) prepare students for senior management jobs or for work in research and development. Lyon 1 also offers a very high standard of specialized vocational training in engineering (Polytech Lyon) and actuarial sciences (ISFA).
L'ESPE, the teacher training establishment specialized in the vocational preparation of primary and secondary teachers (of all subjects).
Lyon 1 awards 300 doctorates a year to students at the outcome of their resarch studies, conducted in the university's laboratories, in cooperation with partner industries or other educational establishments.
As well as providing a wide initial undergraduate studies programme, Lyon 1 accompanies independent or company backed students in continuing professional development training.
The active encouragement of innovation
Lyon 1 is a multidisciplinary university specializing in both fundamental and applied research and as such it can boast more than 4415 internationally published articles and 44 patents per year. The University has 65 state-funded research units working in three fields; health, the environment and material technologies. A certain number of these units are the result of the association of several laboratories into research clusters. This enables these collective structures to have a much wider field of expertise and the access to, or the purchase of, higher performance research tools than would be possible as individual structures.
The University's private sector industry intermediaries, EZUS Lyon1 and Lyon Ingénierie Projet (LIP) help Lyon 1's laboratories to reply successfully to calls to tender for national and international research contracts.
Nationally and internationally acknowledged
The University is committed to more than 80 European Union projects and participates actively in The Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7).
The international status of Lyon 1 as a centre of excellence for research has recently been demonstrated:
by the financial backing awarded to the University by the Agence Nationale pour la Recherche,
by the University's participation in the Thematic Network for Advanced Research called Therapeutic Innovations and Infectiology,
as well as the Thematic Centres for Research and Healthcare: Neurocap (neuroscience), Centaure (organ transplantation) and Synergie Lyon Cancer
and the Institut CarnotI@L: transport and materials science.
Add to this 6 research clusters in the fields of the health sciences (Lyonbiopole), nanotechnology (Minalogic), chemistry and environment (Axelera), plasturgy (Plastipolis), textiles (Techtera), sport (Sporaltec) and public transport (Lyon Urban Truck and bus 2015).

Bloomberg to Gain Access Tether Fin. Reports
Company's accounts in the Puerto Rican Noble Bank kept $ 2.2 billion
18 December 2018	730
The Bloomberg has gained access to the financial statements of Tether Limited, the issuer of stablecoin USDT. To give an unequivocal answer, whether all USDT tokens are provided with US dollars at the moment, the publication did not work, but on January 31 this statement was true.
So, on this day, the company's accounts in the Puerto Rican Noble Bank kept $ 2.2 billion. According to the CoinMarketCap analytical resource, at the same time, there was 2.195 billion USDT in turnover. The data also coincided in September and October 2017, according to representatives of the publication.
Note that Tether Limited managed to open an account with Noble Bank in September 2017, and the company increased its assets from zero to $ 392 million in just one month. about $ 60.9 million user funds. At least this was mentioned in the report of the auditing firm Friedman LLP, with which Tether subsequently broke off relations.
The Bloomberg report states that cash began to flow into another bank in July 2018. If at the beginning of the month, the account with Noble Bank was $ 1.9 billion, at the end - $ 210 million. Probably, the money was transferred to Deltec Bank in the Bahamas, which confirmed that Tether had $ 1.831 billion in balance on October 31, 2018 .
It is worth adding that the publication managed to match a number of transactions between the Bitfinex and Tether accounts at Noble Bank, which completely coincided with the USDT transfers.
Recall that in January, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CTFC) began to study the activities of Bitfinex and Tether, sending summons to the representatives of both organizations to the court. After that, Tether suspended the issue of USDT tokens for two months.
In November, the US Department of Justice launched its own investigation to check whether bitcoin price manipulation took place at the expense of the USDT issue.

Tether to Transfer 15M USDT to Liquid Network
It should be noted Liquid allows you to hide values in the public registry using the "confidential transaction" protocol
On January 7, Tether, the stablecoin issuer, transferred 15 million USDT from its reserves on the Ethereum blockchain to Blockstream's Liquid network, which is a federated bitcoin sidechain. The technical feasibility of such a swap was first announced in July 2019.
An important difference between Liquid and other blockchains is the support of assets that allow you to hide values in the public registry using the "confidential transaction" protocol. By transferring Tether between exchange accounts through Liquid, traders will be able to avoid disclosing information about their intentions to other market participants.
Movements of tether can be tracked in general but also particularly to and from exchanges, which is valuable information. People absolutely trade based on this information. Moving from a blockchain that has transparent transactions and onto Liquid is somewhat of a no-brainer in the context of trading.
Grubles
Pseudonymous Blockstream community manager
Blockstream CSO Samson Mow noted that Liquid-based Tether could be the first example of a semi-private stablecoin.
Services like Whale Alert, that track movements of assets, would not work for confidential assets in Liquid. With Confidential Transactions you can't see the amounts being sent from one party to another. That means that USDT issued in the Liquid Network provides better privacy than USDT on other chains.
Samson Mow
Blockstream CSO
At the same time, the Tether emission in the Blockstream system remains public, which can help dispel skeptics' doubts.
According to Tether Technical Director Paolo Ardoino, customer interest in confidential transactions led the company to decide to transfer $ 15 million from the Ethereum network to Liquid.


On the Great Feast of the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple, His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius visited our Holy Apostle James community in Owasso, OK. His Eminence was accompanied and assisted by Archimandrite Agathangelus, Chancellor of the Metropolis.
When he arrived, His Eminence was greeted with bread and salt (naturally blue salt from Persia - in honor of the Theotokos), a Russian tradition.
Upon his first entrance into the Chapel, His Eminence gave to the parish a great gift of relics of several saints, and also delivered updated Antimensia signed by him. Vigil (Vespers, Matins and 1st Hour) was served that evening.
Sunday, before Liturgy, at the 6th Hour, His Eminence ordained the Reader Peter Gilstrap to the rank of Subdeacon. After Liturgy the metropolitan warmly congratulated Subdeacon Peter, and also greeted the rector, Priest Mark, on the 20th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The choir was also praised for its service. The beautiful Serbian troparion for the feast, which has been our tradition for more than 30 years, was recognized and noted by His Eminence. It is the same special melody as for Christ's Nativity, which the Feast of the Entry anticipates.
The importance of a cohesive community is so great that it was decided decades ago that a community meal would always be served after every Liturgy. During the festal meal prepared by the sisterhood, His Eminence repeated the importance of the unity of the true Church, which is demonstrated and proclaimed whenever we commemorate him as our bishop. A joyous, good, and pleasant gathering of brethren dwelling together in unity was indeed experienced by all those present.
Both Saturday and Sunday His Eminence found time to answer a variety of questions from the community. In the spirit of an archpastoral visit, he also heard answers from us on a variety of his questions, including what it might cost to acquire property for a proper church.
Saint James currently meets in the priest's rural hilltop chapel dedicated to the Holy Transfiguration. It is a 400 sq ft out-building with nearby parking on a large cul-de-sac. An additional 100 sq ft is under construction. God-willing, an affordable building in the city will allow us to be more visible to a spiritually hungry world.
Saint James owes much to our predecessors. Our Altar furniture comes from the first Orthodox Christian Mission to the Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma, formerly located in Tahlequah, the capitol of the Cherokee Nation. Our exterior Cross was originally erected in 1959 on the Russian Holy Trinity Chapel in Bloomington, Indiana. These and other physical artifacts remind us of the heritage and mindset (phronema) we received from our forebears in the Faith who were immigrant missionaries that unknowingly taught volumes through the example of their pious lives.
Saint James is the only traditionalist Orthodox church with resident clergy within a very wide radius. As such, members embracing true worship come from as far away as Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and even Illinois. Some of these far-flung parish families are making and executing plans to relocate to the Tulsa area. This will, God-willing, help provide the requisite membership for community support, and greater public outreach.
If you have not found a permanent church home, we invite you to come and visit Holy Apostle James' with its nearly 40-year heritage and repository of English language Orthodox services. Strengthened by this archpastoral visit, and with God's blessing, we will increase our efforts to "make God's Service" in the midst of our city, to honor the Mother of God and all the saints, and to fulfill the commandments of love for God and Neighbor.
May the Holy Apostle James, the Brother of our Lord and first bishop of Jerusalem, who in those days led all in the true worship of God by serving the Christian Liturgy, bless our archpastor, His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius, for his benevolence and labors in attending to our "small flock" and celebrating the Divine Liturgy.


Libet S.A., a leading Polish manufacturer of premium paving stones, has completed a company-wide implementation of the full-suite ERP system, IFS Applications. The implementation, which covers all production plants as well as the company's headquarters, supports and improves strategic business processes in such areas as manufacturing, maintenance, HR, purchasing, sales, distribution, financials and CRM.
The implemented IFS solution enables integration of all business areas at every organizational level, ensuring optimized productivity in all processes. IFS Applications supports efficient cost management and speedy access to business data throughout all operational areas, improving the company's decision-making processes. In addition to improved purchasing and cost planning processes, the system also enables report generation and precise analyses based on information that was unavailable in the company's previous system. For example, IFS Applications supports detailed production analyses and more accurate specification of costs at each production stage (e.g. raw materials utilization).
"The implementation of IFS Applications is yet another step in Libet's strategy for strengthening our leading position in the premium segment and accelerating the technological development of our plants. Libet has a complex organizational structure, with manufacturing plants all over Poland. The use of IFS Applications at all the organizational levels is an important stage in the company's development. It will help us to streamline business processes and thus increase our competitiveness on the paving stone market. This is yet another implementation streamlining our operation. Last year, for example, we introduced an advanced customer telephone service system, IVR," said Thomas Lehmann, President of Libet S.A.
The implemented IFS solution includes features such as IFS Enterprise Explorer, the intuitive and customizable user interface, easy integration with production automation systems, and the possibility of expanding the system to support the company's future growth.
"We have implemented the most advanced solution on the market. IFS Applications will enable us to introduce new and more efficient business management practices. We are very pleased that we managed to complete this project so quickly. In seven months, we were able to implement the ERP system in all of our business units, which is a very short period for such projects. The system is already running and we have seen its first effects: simple and extremely fast online access to all the information and to most company documents. In the long run, we want the system to facilitate our strategic processes such as planning, monitoring and analysis," said Daniel Głogowski, Senior Planner at Libet S.A.
Libet S.A. is a leading Polish manufacturer of paving stones and other concrete surfacing materials. With 30% market share, Libet is the Polish market leader in the premium paving stone segment, and the second player in the paving stone business, with a market share of around 21%. Premium products are targeted primarily at individuals, while products from the industrial and standard segments mainly cover the demand resulting from infrastructure investments. The company also offers Libet Impressio patio slabs, Libet Patio stone slabs, as well as industrial products such as curbs and edges, concrete cubes and slabs, openwork panels and palisades. The company has 14 plants and 24 production lines. The combined capacity of all the plants is ca. 14 million square meters per year (based on the standard paving stone).

Company secretarial services and corporate support provider London Registrars (http://www.london-registrars.co.uk/) reveals that approximately 70% of FTSE 100 companies are failing to facilitate whistleblowing in the workplace, says a new study from Middlesex University.
Researchers analysed the public availability of information on how to go about whistleblowing (internally reporting misconduct, wrongdoing or suspect practices of an employee or organisation) by checking the websites of all of the FTSE 100 listed companies. The research found that only just over a third (31%) of companies had information on how to facilitate whistleblowing within the organisation available publicly.
The researchers behind the study claim that failing to make it clear how to blow the whistle on suspect company practices or employee misconduct puts the company at the potential risk of lawsuits and, as a result, potential financial cost and damage to the company's reputation. If the company whistleblowing policy is not made readily available, employees are unlikely to actively search it out themselves for fear of alerting their superiors. The findings revealed that even those companies which did make their whistleblowing policy publicly available created some confusion by referring to the policy by different names, from a "speak up" policy to a "public interest disclosure".
London Registrars advises on all forms of company compliance, from the responsibilities of the company to overall corporate governance. Find out more at http://www.london-registrars.co.uk/.

Y'all, I have officially finished my first semester of senior year at Elon University! Words cannot begin to express my emotions right now. On the one hand, I am bewildered that half of my last year in college has blown by so quickly. On the other hand, I am so excited to be done with final exams, to be home for the holiday break, and to have more time to devote to my non-school related passions. One of the things I'm most excited for is devoting more time to this blog! Today's post is one that I've been itching to write about for quite some time- a recap of the Southern Weddings Gingerbread Barn Building Competition that I attended with Emily last Monday.
Everything started with this secret Pinterest board. About one week before the event, Pinterest had the brilliant idea of creating secret boards that can only be seen by the creator and the select individuals they invite to pin to that board. It was the perfect way for Emily and me to share our design ideas and plan of action without worrying that any other event attendees would copy our technique.
Granted, the majority of the pins we found were absolutely stunning, but a bit more exaggerated than the design we chose. The most useful pin was the one detailing the instructions for making a Graham Cracker Gingerbread house. Once we practiced and tweaked it to the shape of making a gingerbread barn, we were ready to roll.
After much anticipation, Monday finally arrived and Emily and I were off to the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, NC for the competition. I had seen pictures of the Gingerbread Barn Building Competition from last year, and noticed that the majority of people were wearing aprons. So, I decided to make my own apron with gold glitter fabric paint, gold tinsel, and an adorable adhesive reindeer adorning a bow!
Walking into the room where the event was held was such an incredible feeling. Not only because I saw all of the sweets that were available to create our barn, but also because of the time that I got to spend with the Southern Weddings ladies. I was immediately welcomed by Lara Casey and her precious daughter Grace (seriously, she is the cutest little girl with the biggest smile!). While I was making baby faces at Grace, Nicole came up to me and told me how much she liked my skirt. I was so thrilled that someone noticed, because I may or may not have (...definitely did) purchase it on sale from J.Crew Factory with this particular event in mind. Then, when Kristin saw me, she greeted me by name and we started chatting up a storm! She is one sassy but sweet lady, y'all. Throughout the evening, I also had the chance to talk to Emily Thomas, and told her how much I adored her perfectly pink apron. I had only met Lara and Emily once before at the V5 Launch Party, and had communicated with each of them briefly via email. However, these ladies made me feel as though I was at home at an event with some of my dearest friends!
Once I finished chatting with the SW ladies, Emily and I got straight to work creating our barn. Since both of us have interned with wedding planners and have a soft spot for barn weddings, we knew we wanted to showcase our barn hosting a wedding ceremony. Our original plan was to leave the front doors open so everyone could see the details of the ceremony. Unfortunately, the structure of the roof was too heavy, and could not be supported without the front doors.
Our barn did not place in the top 3, but Emily and I agree that it definitely earned a self-proclaimed honorable mention. My favorite details from our barn were the sugar wafers that we used as bales of hay for ceremony seating and for the shingles on the roof. I also loved the pearl-adorned aisle runner, the candy cane entrance, and the bow atop the doors. However, the bow was a part of the packaging for one of the sweets, so it was not allowed to be used in our design. We realized this after taking these pictures, and quickly made a green M&M wreath to take it's place!
Back at Elon and after coming down from our sugar high, Emily and I whipped out our copies of V5 and had our own impromptu photo-shoot. The deadline for the V5 photo contest was also this Monday, which was convenient because Emily finally got her copy of V5 as a gift at the competition! We started off by goofing around a bit by the Christmas tree before taking our actual contest pictures. You can get a closer look at my skirt in these pictures!
We decided on two pictures- one of the two of us reading our "gifts" under the Christmas tree, and one of me sharing the V5 goodness with my apartment's personal reindeer friend, Bella. I think she loves it as much as I do! The night was such a blast, and I cannot wait to see all that Southern Weddings does in the future!

A Church's spokesman has confirmed that the shoewear brand is launching two stores in Japan in 2019.
The British footwear company, founded in 1873, currently has 14 stores in the UK, with 11 based in London.
It sells collections in Selfridges, Harrod's, Harvey Nichols and Brown Thomas.
Church's also has 63 stores in 15 European countries, with markets including Austria, Belgium and Germany.
Drapers can also reveal that Church's is expanding its women's collection, which makes up nearly 30% of its business.
The spokesman added that the brand is "going to put the attention on [its] women clients".
Meanwhile, like-for-like sales were up 8% worldwide in the year to 31 December 2018, compared to 2017.
Like-for-like sales rose 4% in the UK in 2018, compared to the previous year, while the ecommerce business was up 80%.
Retail prices range from £395 to £1,400.


Base to final, then short final in KSPG. Looking out for traffic called by tower (masts of passing sailboats!). Taxi to parking and 5 minutes later having lunch at The Hangar while watching the airport operations and Bay activities.


Over the summer, I crafted a values-based statement about the University of Dayton's deeply held commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The University of Dayton affirms that diversity, equity, and inclusion are inextricably linked with excellence. We aggressively pursue these core values, which align with our mission of building community in the world and working for justice for all people.
Diversity at all levels of the University — from the board of trustees to the student body — enriches our learning environment and expands our institutional ability, intelligence, and creativity.
As a Catholic and Marianist institution, the University of Dayton embraces diversity as a gift of God's creation and is committed to honoring the intrinsic value and dignity of all people, no matter their race, religion, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, country of origin, (dis)ability, ideology, and other expressions of human difference. We commit ourselves to eliminating discriminatory or hateful words and actions, pursuing equity, and becoming known as a fully inclusive and welcoming environment for learning, discovery, and community engagement.
We are deeply committed to advancing the common good in partnership with the local and global community. We invite you to learn more about the University of Dayton's commitment to excellence as shaped by diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Less than 200 words, this statement identifies the importance of this strategic priority, which is both a foundational commitment and a cornerstone of realizing our vision. We're thinking beyond race and gender to the fundamental value of all people. We're cultivating a culture where differences are valued, respected, and seen as strengthening our community.
Why does this matter? Research shows that "a more diverse community improves learning and problem solving, enhances research and innovation, and strengthens organizational culture and teamwork," according to the book Strategic Diversity Leadership. In other words, living and learning in a diverse campus community prepares students for career success in the workplace in an increasingly global society. But it's more than that. To be fully human, we must embrace multiple perspectives and look at the world through the eyes of people who are different from us to grow in our own knowledge, empathy — and humanity.
In my own life I have seen the difference this approach — an approach that values and prioritizes diversity and inclusion — makes in a variety of professional and personal settings. In my one year at Dayton I have seen this time and time again — and I'm sure you have, too.
As we enter a new academic year, I plan to post this diversity statement on our website, which will complement a Diversity and Inclusion web page that details a number of new initiatives — from workshops for hiring for diversity and inclusion to the development of an assessment task force that will be announced very early in the semester. I am grateful for the work that so many have done to help us make advances in this critical area of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I look forward to another year of progress toward greater excellence.
Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Society of Mary and an inspiration for our times, brought diverse people together in a common mission.
Today, we must do the same. We are builders of community — across and through all differences.
I have mentioned to several UD students that the two great regrets of my college career are not studying abroad and not learning a foreign language.
As the tragic events unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, I prayed for the respect for the dignity of every person and the radical spread of love to overcome hate.

On this trip to the moving picture house I was joined by my brother, Andrew. We both knew very little about The Meg, but figured it might be fun. Jason Statham and a big f'in shark, should be good for a laugh, right? Wrong!
This wasn't scary and this wasn't funny. The CGI was only slightly better than what you'd find in a Sharknado movie. This is a film that wasn't sure whether it wanted to be self-aware of its obvious silliness, or play it serious. A film desperately trying to find its niche within the pantheon of fishy action thrillers, and finding there was no room for a prehistoric sixty-foot-long shark.
That unwillingness to commit to a direction really hurts the film. The Meg wants to setup great characters you'll care about when the action starts, but gives us two-dimensional clichés you'll want the shark to eat. Jason Statham is the brooding misunderstood hero type, Bingbing Li is there for the Chinese audience, Rainn Wilson is the obnoxious billionaire, and Rudy Rose is the know-it-all hacker. All dumbly swimming along in a screenplay that doesn't seem to care that their exchanges don't make any sense.
This joint US, Chinese production reportedly cost $150,000,000, and to be honest, I didn't see that money on the screen. The shark in Steven Spielberg's Jaws looked more realistic and was certainly more terrifying. For that kind of money, I would expect to see something really special, but instead we just got a big fish, not the Megalodon we were promised.

Havva & Ali Mustafa
We want to denormalize…
Failure as a complete negative. Failure should be seen as a lesson that helps build character and guide you. The idea that we should have immediate success at every situation is an unhealthy and implausible view.
We want to normalize…
Being an individual. You don't need to put yourself in class or group. Individuality is what makes all of us unique so there's no need for people to hide themselves behind an 'identity' that they feel will allow them to be accepted.
Havva & Ali Mustafa are…
Designer, Havva Mustafa and co-creator brother, Ali, launched HAVVA the luxury footwear brand after growing up in a family of third-generation traditional Turkish footwear artisans and designers. The duo has worked to marry the careful crafting and handmade details they've learned since childhood with their passion for streetwear and the edge of youth culture.
In addition to their label, Havva currently moonlights as one of the leading footwear design teachers in the UK at the prestigious, Central Saint Martins + London College Of Fashion- University of the Arts. She has also taught many well-known designers including Julia Nodaleto and Jennifer Chamandi. Havva and Ali's father is also a popular teacher at LCF, focused on the technical side of shoemaking, so footwear is truly a family affair! The small-batch, waste-conscious collection is made in Turkey in a family-owned factory as well.
The label has featured in a number of industry publications, including Vogue US, Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Vogue Italia, Forbes, The L.A Times among others.

Lori Hastings is spreading her message of hope and help in a soon-to-be-published children's book series. Addressing topics like recycling, environmentalism, and the beauty of individuality, some of the characters are based on Lori's own unique childhood experiences. Others reflect her passion for preserving resources for future generations. In each of the stories, characters overcome difficult situations and learn to embrace the life they were given.
Overcoming obstacles is a feat with which Lori is familiar. At age 12, doctors diagnosed her with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, and eight years ago, she was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis.
"It was a fluke, like being struck by lightning twice. But I have always just gone forward. I don't let anything stop me. I'm not one to sit and have a pity party. Life is too short," she says.
Lori hopes to impart this optimism to the children who will read her series, and with the proceeds from the books, her goal is to provide further support for children with their own special needs. One hundred percent of the profits from her books will support the efforts of her self-founded, nonprofit group, Lori's Voice. According to her website, "Lori's Voice was founded to help support children and their families when difficulties arise and they may need a helping hand."
Most recently, more than $8,700 in proceeds from the Lori's Voice 5k Walkathon funded the purchase and installation of special needs playground equipment. Since the organization gained nonprofit status in November of last year, nearly $20,000 has been raised.
"I always just had a special place in my heart for kids, then when I see kids with special needs, it touches a note at home for me. I just want to give back," Lori says.
Lori's own family is a miracle in itself. After she married her Coopersville High School sweetheart, doctors told Lori she would never have children. But just months after the prognosis, she was pregnant with her first of three.
"When someone tells me I can't do something, I'm out to prove them wrong. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm very determined and very stubborn, in a good way," Lori says.
Lori put her determination to work in writing the children's book series, even though she has no functionality in her hands. Instead, she uses a voice-activated computer program. The former calligrapher says it was hard to adjust to life without hand-use, but she surrounds herself with friends and family who are willing to lend their own.
"I just feel I'm really blessed. I've had many challenges, but also very many blessings. My husband and family are wonderful. I have a great group of very supportive friends…I feel that God put them all on my path for a reason."

No IG Challenges this weekend, but I will do my best to start up again tomorrow. I wore the above outfit today to take Little One to a truck show (and managed to miss some spots with my sunscreen 😦 hello red shoulders and throat – ugh). We saw some great friends and cool trucks.
Shirt is Loft (from eBay), shorts (old TJMaxx or Marshalls), shoes (old) Old Navy, and a new pair of Nickel & Suede earrings.
How do you spend your summer Sundays?
I don't own any rompers, but this little Dixieland Boutique dress is close, plus it has a built in tie for the Belted In challenge. As the weather gets hotter, grabbing a cute dress is an easy way to look presentable with little effort. I added some (old) necklaces and a pair of my go-to Nickel & Suede earrings (Scuba Blue is on sale this month, only $16!) to finish off the look.
Are you in on the romper trend?
I opted to focus on SILVER SIREN with my earrings, scarf, and shoes. Earrings are Nickel & Suede.
My scarf is (old) from a small boutique, but has a really pretty silver thread running through it.
My NEGLECTED SHOES are actually from my wedding (4 years ago) and I've only recently begun to wear them again! They have a pretty silver sheen to them in the right lighting.
Do you ever build an outfit using a "theme" for inspiration?
I'm not necessarily one to indulge in the latest trends, but I've been seeing these cool leather earrings all over Instagram lately. I wasn't sure if they would be "me", but I like the idea of supporting a mom/small-business owner so I gave in and ordered a pair from Nickel & Suede. They are supposed to be "life changing" due to the fact that they're incredibly light weight. Let me tell you: they are SO light I can't even feel them! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for stylish statement jewelry. I can already picture these earrings being my new go-to accessory.
These earrings are available in multiple sizes and colors; I'm wearing Silver Chrome in size small.
Which ones will you choose..?

This Is The Real Reason Why School Buses Are Always Painted Yellow
By James Cannon
It's early in the morning, and a group of kids wait on a street corner. They spy a flash of yellow: one of the thousands of yellow buses that do the daily school run around the United States. These vehicles are so ingrained in some people's minds that they can't help but feel a little nostalgic every time they see one. But if you're wondering why the coaches are that particular color, there is a clever explanation.
Alongside the bright yellow shade, American school buses have some other distinctive features too. We're referring to the exterior of the vehicles, of course, as each one of them has a very similar appearance. Indeed, most of them use the "cutaway van chassis" look that bus company the Wayne Corporation introduced.
And while the Wayne Corporation eventually closed its doors back in 1992, the chassis look still lives on today. The Blue Bird Company is also credited with shaping the standard appearance of U.S. school buses as well, along with the Gillig Corporation. You see, the latter is responsible for the vehicles' curved roofs.
This is referred to as the "California Top" design. A glamorous name for an unglamorous accessory, right? But as these modifications were being made in the past, a big moment occurred at the back-end of the 1930s. At that stage, an important meeting was called at Columbia University, drawing in transportation chiefs from across the country.
Before that meeting at the college, moms and dads had voiced their concerns about the wellbeing of their kids when they traveled on school buses. That's because the vehicles didn't have a similar look or design by that point. Instead, schools were using whatever they could get their hands on.
Essentially, the children were traveling around in vehicles that had been redeployed as school buses. Yes, it's as worrying as it sounds. So to help put their parents' minds at ease, one man stepped forward in 1939. Dr. Frank Cyr, who plied his trade as a professor at Columbia University, called the aforementioned meeting to discuss the matter.
Looking back, it could be argued that Cyr was the perfect person to helm that gathering at the college. "Why?" we hear you ask. Well, the professor had dedicated ten years of his career to analyzing school bus safety in America in the time before then. On that note, he was excellently placed to talk about potential standardizations.
And to give you an even better idea as to how important the event was, it was financed by the Rockefeller Foundation too. The organization offered up a grant worth $5,000. In 2020's money, that would be the equivalent of over $90,000. So it wasn't a small gathering but a major undertaking.
By the end of the meeting, Cyr and company had drawn up more than 40 different standards that school buses needed to follow. This signaled a radical shift in how the vehicles were created, as they now had to adopt similar shapes and sizes. So gone were the days where any old automobile could be refitted for the job.
Yet you might be surprised to hear that that particular change was beneficial for everyone. You see, the switch in appearance saved the bus manufacturers quite a bit of money, as they could use the same outline going forward. And of course, the alterations protected the kids too, so it was a win-win.
Keeping that in mind, you're probably wondering what the school buses looked like before 1939. How different were they? And did the vehicles sport a yellow shade? Well, to answer the second question, the colors reflected the overall attitude towards the automobiles in the past, meaning there was no set tone.
As for the actual buses, they came onto the scene in America in 1886. At that time the Wayne Corporation, then known as Wayne Works, developed specialized coaches that were led by horses. According to the website, these modes of transport were referred to as both "kid hacks" and "school hacks."
But if you expected Wayne Works' creation to catch on across the United States during that period, you'd be wrong. Instead, kids had to rely on different types of transportation depending on where they lived. Sledges and farmers' carts were among the alternatives, while other students simply needed to walk. Some choices, right?
By 1914, though, Wayne Works came up with another idea. With more and more people using motorized vehicles on the road, the company turned to the chassis that we spoke about earlier. As you might've guessed, these new buses possessed far more speed than the old school hacks, changing the landscape forever.
Yet the interior of those vehicles was still markedly different from what you'd see inside a school bus today. In these days, much like in any other coach, the children are usually seated forwards, facing the back of the driver. The Wayne Works buses weren't like that, as their chairs were placed in an "inward" position.
When looking at that, you might have a better understanding why the parents were so concerned about safety back then. Anyway, organizations like the Gillig Corporation and the Blue Bird Company stepped up in the following years. As we mentioned previously, they brought some game-changing ideas to the table ahead of 1939.
Remember the California Top? That innovative look was conjured up by the Gillig Corporation back in 1920. As for the Blue Bird Company's contribution, it created the school buses' steel exterior some 17 years later. Unsurprisingly, that led to the retirement of the wooden frameworks that students had grown used to.
But while those ideas continued to evolve after the meeting at Columbia University, you might still have a burning question in the back of your mind. Why are school buses bright yellow? Is there a particular reason? Well, we can shed some light on that, because there is an intriguing explanation.
Some consider yellow to be an upbeat shade, implying optimism and bringing smiles to people's faces. In turn, those positive connotations are said to be particularly effective with youngsters. That might also explain why moms and dads often opt for the color when it comes to fixing up their children's bedrooms.
So if we take that idea on board, yellow seems like the perfect color to use for a school bus. After all, most teachers would certainly be happy with a classroom full of cheerful, optimistic students until the final bell. Beyond that, though, there is a more scientific explanation as well.
Going back to the 1939 meeting at Columbia University, a worker from the Blue Bird Company first brought up the idea. At that stage, discussions about the color threw up some interesting debates, as the experts looked to make the school buses stick out. On that note, you'd think that red might've been the ideal shade.
Well, red was associated with "danger" and stop signs by the time of the meeting, which ruled it out. So that opened the door for the Blue Bird Company employee's suggestion of yellow. And as an added incentive to use that color, people in the science sector believe that the bright tone is always noticeable, regardless of the conditions.
That brings us on to the school buses' schedules across a normal week in America. When are you more likely to see misty weather conditions or darker periods over the day? The morning and late afternoon, of course, which ties into the times when kids will be using the vehicles.
Simply put, yellow is said to cut through that murkiness and immediately grab the attention of nearby motorists. The school bus essentially becomes a large beacon, which should in turn prevent any potential road collisions. But did you know that the iconic vehicles use a particular variant of the aforementioned shade?
You see, once Cyr and the experts had settled on the idea of using yellow in 1939, they came up with a unique tone. By combining a soft shade with "bright orange," the group created a color called National School Bus Chrome. In later years, it was eventually renamed as National School Bus Glossy Yellow.
The group's decision certainly paid off in the end, as a research project backed up its choice. Like we mentioned earlier, scientists have long lauded the attention-grabbing qualities of the color yellow. But why is it so noticeable when compared to other shades out there? What makes it so special?
Well, the scientific paper revealed that yellow is simpler to detect outside our sightline, beating out tones such as red. To break things down even further, there's a fascinating finding in the project. It turns out that it's a little bit simpler and quicker for humans to distinguish something that's colored yellow if it's in their peripheral vision than it would be if the object was colored differently.
Yet despite reaching the decision in 1939, it took another 35 years before every school bus in America adopted the yellow paint job. Since that day in 1974, the shade has remained the same and shows no sign of getting altered in the future. Why fix what isn't broken, right?
To explain more, Bob Riley spoke to the Today I Found Out website in November 2013. He plied his trade at the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, working as the executive director. In Riley's opinion, the color is so ingrained in our minds that it'd be easier to keep it than opt for another shade.
Riley told the website, "You can't buy a bus that doesn't meet that [color] formula. If they had to do it today, who knows if it would be the same, because now they have brighter, more noticeable things. Think of the vests highway workers wear. Obviously, they're even more noticeable than National School Bus Chrome yellow."
"But the rationale for maintaining that color is its universal acceptance," Riley added. "We've all been born and raised knowing what that is." So if a school bus's shade is recognized for its safety connotations, you've probably got an additional question to ask. Just where are the seatbelts for the traveling kids?
After all, the yellow tone won't protect the children if the bus does get into an accident. Well, as it turns out, some school vehicles do have seatbelts on board as a necessity. However, that's only for coaches that clock in at under 10,000 pounds in weight. If they weigh more, they don't need seatbelts.
On the rest of the buses, only the driver's chair has a seatbelt. Unsurprisingly, plenty of research has gone into that decision throughout the years. Groups such as the National Academy of Sciences and the National Transportation Safety Board have revealed that the vehicles' interior plays a role in that.
As we all know, school bus seating is fairly compact. But that's a deliberate choice, with the set-up acting like a "protective envelope" if there ever was a collision. On top of that, they don't move as quickly as other automobiles, so seatbelts aren't a must. You don't often see one speeding, do you?
If the transport chiefs ever changed their minds regarding seatbelts, though, it might cause several unwanted headaches. For instance, the costs to update the buses could reach something like $800 million. Oof. That's a staggering number. Yet the complications wouldn't just be of a financial nature. There's another huge consideration.
You see, it's sometimes easy to forget that students of various ages get the school bus each day. So the seatbelts would obviously have to reflect the ranging sizes. In turn, that could affect the number of children who'd normally take up a chair as well, resulting in less space.
But surely it would be worth the money and trouble if it saved lives? Well, it's not obvious that it would. There've been several studies run by government agencies concerned with transportation agencies, and the conclusions have been convincingly firm. Within the bounds of statistical significance, fatalities would not change.
Indeed, including seatbelts might make things even worse. This is because if a coach crashed now, the passengers would be pushed forward and strike the thick padding of the seat in front. But if they wore seatbelts, they would be yanked back, and their head could collide with the same padding. Plus, the driver's job could also be made much harder.
As it stands, school bus drivers just need to focus on their task behind the wheel. But if seatbelts came in, they'd have to check that every passenger on board had theirs secured before hitting the road. Alongside that, the driver would be responsible for ensuring that kids didn't remove them during the journey too. That's a lot of hassle, right?
So as bizarre as it may sound, children are arguably safer without the seatbelts. And here's something else to consider. On average, the Stanford Children's Health website reported that only seven youngsters die in school bus accidents every year. From what we've learned, the color and lack of restraints could serve as an explanation behind that low figure.

BUENOS AIRES Protesters and police clashed on Wednesday outside a courthouse in northern Argentina where a social activist is on trial for offences including corruption, while her lawyers asked the Supreme Court to free her on human rights grounds.Fists flew as supporters of Milagro Sala, leader of the Tupac Amaru social welfare group in Jujuy province, tried to push past police who used choke holds to keep the crowd at bay.It was part of a series of hearings on charges ranging from intimidation to corruption. She has denied the allegations and said she is a victim of political persecution.Sala's lawyers asked the Supreme Court in Buenos Aires to free her based on recommendations from United Nations and Organization of American States human rights committees that said she has been arbitrarily detained for nearly a year.The case, and the international attention it has gathered, has been a headache for President Mauricio Macri as he tries to improve Argentina's image and attract foreign investment needed to help pull the country out of recession.Sala, whose organisation is allied with Macri's predecessor and political foe Cristina Fernandez, has long been accused by opponents of skimming public housing monies that she had received in cash under the previous Jujuy governor.
Soon after Macri ally Gerardo Morales became governor a year ago, he changed Jujuy's welfare distribution system to tighten controls. Sala was protesting the change in January when she was arrested by provincial authorities and charged with sedition.Rights groups branded this a violation of free speech and the sedition charge was quickly replaced by accusations of corruption. But Sala's allies said the switch looked like a manoeuvre aimed simply at keeping her behind bars."Like everyone else, Milagro Sala should be prosecuted if she has committed serious crimes, but the Jujuy justice system must ensure that her basic due process guarantees are respected," Jose Miguel Vivanco, Americas director of Human Rights Watch, told Reuters.
Early this month, the Inter-American Commision on Human Rights called on Argentina to release Sala. The commission, part of the OAS, said Argentina should "give prompt attention" to recommendations from a U.N. body in October that called Sala's pre-trial detention "unwarranted and arbitrary."The case threatens to dent Macri's authority as one of the region's chief critics of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom he accuses of holding political prisoners. Macri's government has said the Sala case is a local one to be resolved in Jujuy. But if the Supreme Court rules that Sala's initial detention was unlawful, it could turn up the pressure on Macri to find a solution.
