Jack Johnson croons my favorite go-tos, the cookies are in and out of the oven, and Halloween crafts happen at the table. Our trip seems a million years away from here, and I feel refreshed with the gratefulness I have for this life.
A drive in search for a nap met me with surprise. I debated which route to take to Starbucks (naturally), and I meant to take the first road. In a daze of thoughts, I missed my turn, and ended up taking the second choice. As I sat waiting to turn, I spotted Jimmy's car and had a rush of stomach flutters. The same ones I had ten years ago when our relationship was new and exciting. We have graduated from red truck to a hummer. I was taken aback by such feelings. Here we are, a decade later as I drive his children around, and he still has this effect.
I'm so, so thankful for the blessings.
I'm anxiously awaiting my new planner so I can fill in an exhausting list of dates that swirl through my brain as we reach the height of fall and venture into my favorite time of year.
Have I mentioned that I am making Halloween costumes this year and have nightmare-vision of myself shopping the pitiful remains of costume sections on the morning of the 31st?
Yeah. Brilliant idea. It's mostly a fun idea that I'm not sure I can carry out, and I also have this overwhelming urge to just make the most adorable coffee cozies and themed story boards for the girls. Priorities need a good, swift kick to realign.
I'm denying the return to reality by leaving our vacation laundry and helping myself to vacation-sized portions of food and desserts. Also, I still feel exhausted.
And I miss the zoo animals made of towels that playfully adorned our room each night. The quiet dinners. And a flatter belly.
But. Fall. Home. And my babies. Life feels a whole lot more chaotic, but a whole lot more complete when I'm home.

Should We Be Protesting About George Floyd or Julian Assange?
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts · Published August 1, 2020 · Updated August 1, 2020
Some Americans are so pathetic they don't even know what gender they are. A female with a vagina thinks she is a male. A male with testicles and a penis thinks he is a female. Those among us who are normal are supposed to be oh-so-concerned about these confused people that we stop using gender pronouns. He/she/him/her have become transphobic. If you persist in using the English language, you are uncaring and, well, evil to boot.
The transgendered are busy at work making themselves into another preferred minority with all the special privileges in law that that designation brings. I wonder what happens when everyone needs the protection of the special privilege designation, and men and women no longer exist.
Somehow I cannot imagine a country absorbed in transgender issues being exceptional and indispensable, as the neocons say we are, much less being a military power. I very much doubt that Russia and China regard a country as a military threat whose population is confused about what gender they are.
Looking at the evidence, I would say that America has had its 15 minutes of fame. What convinces me that America is all washed up is Americans' acceptance of the horrors inflicted by the American/British police state on Julian Assange. In Assange's treatment we see the violation of every human right. And the Western public has accepted it.
Instead of protesting against the persecution of a truth-teller, agents of the Establishment, pretending to be "peaceful protesters," are burning and looting properties belonging to black, Asian, white, and Hispanic business owners and destroying public monuments for no other reason than a felon, misogynist, drug addict, George Floyd, killed himself by overdosing on Fentanyl.
John Paul Leonard writing in the Unz Review first brought my attention to George Floyd being a drug addict. Unlike CNN, MSNBC, BBC, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, or any of the corrupt presstitute media, Leonard pointed out that the medical examiner's toxicology report accompanying the autopsy of Floyd's death clearely indicated a lethal dose of the dangerous opiod, Fentanyl, in Floyd's blood.
Fentanyl causes breathing problems that lead to death. Prior to Floyd's restraint, he complained to the police that he could not breathe and asked to be removed from the police car and to lay down on the ground. We know this from the released police recordings. The presstitutes did not report this fact, but the recordings were released.
When an experienced officer, Chauvin, appeared on the scene he recognized a drug overdose problem and had medics called. Floyd was on his stomach so that he would not choke on his own vomit as Fentanyl can produce nausua. The intentionally misinterpreted "knee-on-the-neck" is a restraint technique that is taught to police. It is not deadly. Chauvin used this common practice to keep Floyd, who was having difficulty absorbing oxygen, still in an effort to minimize his oxygen use and thereby prolong his life until medics arrived, hopefully equipped with naloxone. If given promptly, naloxone can treat a Fentanyl overdose by binding to opiod receptors and blocking the effects of the drug. Fentanyl is such a strong opioid that multiple doses of naloxone are usually required.
Some medics are eqipped with naloxone. No doubt this was what Chauvin hoped.
Instead of attending to the facts, the despicable American media intentionally created the impression that Chauvin had intentionally murdered Floyd in an act of white racism. This lie was used to support the New York Times 1619 Project, an insult to America that alleges in the absence of any evidence that the United States originated as a white supremacist society that enslaved blacks in an act of racism.
The result of the intentional lies that the US is based in racism and that black Floyd was murdered by white police have been the destruction of billions of dollars in black, Asian, white, and Hispanic businesses and public monuments, the abandonment of the defense of property and law and order by Democrat-controlled cities and states, and a stand-down of the police, which has left people at the mercy of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Democrats have tried to arrest and prosecute white Americans who took legal steps to defend their property and have left others to fend for themselves when stopped in traffic and surrounded by thugs demanding money.
The toxicology report accompanying George Floyd's autopsy shows Fentanyl in his blood at the concentration of 11 ng/ml. This is a fatal dose. Therepeutic concentrations of Fentanyl, that is, those prescribed by doctors, range between 0.63-2.0 ng/mL.
Fentanyl is equipotent to morphine at doses that are 50–100 times lower. In other words, Fentanyl is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. Post mortem serum concentratons of lethal doses of Fentanyl begin at 5 ng/mL. Floyd had more than twice this concentration. The danger of Fentanyl rises when taken in combination with other drugs. The toxicology report shows Floyd with a Methamphetamine concentration of 19 ng/mL and a concentration of Delta-9 Carboxy THC of 42 ng/mL. Like Fentanyl, a meth overdose causes, rapid, slowed, or irregular heart rate, difficulty breathing, heart attack, stroke, agitation. The THC in the cannabis part of the cocktail increases the toxicity of the cannabis. Floyd also had serious heart problems which made his drug cocktail more dangerous to him.

The Ski & Snowboard Club of the Tri-Cities in Southeastern Washington State.
We are a not-for-profit all-volunteer organization, incorporated in 1953, that has over the years evolved into a year-round Sports and Social Activities Club for singles and couples. However, our primary goal remains to be promotion of snow skiing, snow boarding and other winter recreational outdoor sports. Our membership totals over 100. We ski for fun pretty much as we individually prefer and do not enter as a club in competitive events. Skill levels vary from rank beginner to expert with advanced intermediate most common.
Most of our trips are to ski areas within 100 - 300 miles of home which can be reached by no more than a two to six hour bus trip -- within that distance, we can reach ten to thirteen good ski areas, some excellent. Each year, we also take a few longer trips to the Colorado Rockies and the Utah Wasatch mountains or board AMTRAK for Whitefish MT. Each year, our schedule covers local trips we sponsor to nominally ten different ski areas as well as to attend other events of member interest. On occasion, will sponsor a club trip to some more distant ski area, such as one of the Alpine resorts of Europe -- such as Zermatt, Switzerland (2014). We also try to list significant trips by other local winter activity clubs to assist with joint event planning..
Many of our trips allow minors (check with trip leaders for details). All trips are BYOB, and we provide basics such as water and snacks. To minimize time conflicts, we occasionally include ski trips scheduled by other local winter sports organizations so local residents can get in all the skiing and boarding they can handle.
We hold usually-monthly meetings every month throughout the year, although during the summer, they tend to become more informal.

Venezuela has denied visa extensions for electoral observers from the European Union, requiring them to leave the South American country this weekend, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
The observers arrived in October for regional and local elections that took place on Nov. 21. Members of the delegation's leadership had said they would remain until Dec. 13, Reuters reported.
"There was not an extension of the stay so they must leave this weekend," said the source, who declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak on the record.
The source did not specify why the visas were not extended.
President Nicolas Maduro has called the observers "spies" and said their preliminary report – which said voting conditions were better than in previous contests but that some candidates were blocked unfairly – is an effort to stain a peaceful and democratic electoral process.
The Information Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The mission's only official spokesperson is its head, Isabel Santos, who left Venezuela at the end of November. The mission declined to comment on members' visas.
"The proclamation of the (winning) candidates has been carried out and now the members of the observation mission will leave Caracas on Dec. 5," the mission said in a statement on Friday, adding it will return to the country at the beginning of 2022 to present its final report.
The electoral authority and the Foreign Ministry also did not respond to requests for comment.
The elections were a sweeping victory for the ruling Socialist party, which picked up 19 governorships, while opposition politicians claimed three.
The only race still to be decided is the governorship of Barinas state, a Socialist party stronghold.
The Supreme Court of Justice this week ordered a new vote because of a close race and disqualified opposition candidate Freddy Superlano. Incumbent Argenis Chavez has resigned as governor and said he will not seek re-election.
The emergence of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus is the "ultimate evidence" of the danger of unequal vaccination rates around the world, the head of the Red Cross said on Friday.
"The scientific community has warned the international community on several occasions about the risks of very new variants in places where there is a very low rate of vaccinations," Francesco Rocca, the president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, told AFP in an interview in Moscow.
About 65 percent of people in high-income countries have had at least one dose of vaccine against the coronavirus, but just over seven percent in low-income countries, UN numbers show.
Western countries have been accused of hoarding vaccines and the WHO has urged them to avoid a rush to give out booster shots when millions worldwide have yet to receive a single dose.
"This is a selfish approach coming from the Western community, this is really a blind approach," Rocca said.
"It's unbelievable that we are still not realizing how much we are interconnected. This is why I call the Omicron variant the ultimate evidence."
Omicron, a heavily mutated version of the coronavirus, was first reported in South Africa on November 24 and is now present in more than two dozen countries.
It has sparked a wave of travel bans, cast the global economic recovery into doubt and led to warnings that it could cause more than half of Europe's COVID cases in the next few months.
"It is essential and vital to identify new solutions, to find an end to the pandemic, and the only way is to vaccinate, so access for everyone, everywhere," Rocca said.
One option, he said, is suspending intellectual property rights for COVID-19 vaccines in order to boost production.
The idea has met with fierce opposition from pharmaceutical giants and their host countries, which insist patents are not the main roadblocks to scaling up production and warn the move could hamper innovation.
"It's a moral imperative. I'm not naive. I know that there are the pharmaceutical companies that are protecting their patents," Rocca said.
"The other side of the coin is that governments invested billions... in research. So I think it is immoral what is happening around the patents."

Apple Inc. notified at least 11 US diplomats that their iPhones have been hacked by unknown assailants using Pegasus spyware developed by the Israeli cyberarms firm NSO Group, according to multiple reports.
The revelation, the first confirmed cases of Israeli surveillance tools being used against US government officials, comes a month after Joe Biden's administration blacklisted the NSO Group following reports that Pegasus was implicated in cyberattacks on journalists, activists and politicians around the world, Press TV reported.
The hacks, which took place in the last several months, mostly targeted US Embassy employees in Uganda, according to Reuters, which first reported the intrusions and said nine US diplomats were hacked.
The Associated Press and The Washington Post later reported that phone numbers of at least 11 US officials were compromised.
The cyberattacks represent the first known hacks of American officials through the NSO Group and raise serious questions about the use of Israeli spying tools against government officials worldwide.
"We have been acutely concerned that commercial spyware like NSO Group software poses a serious counterintelligence and security risk to US personnel,'' White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a briefing on Friday.
The Israeli company said in a statement that it was willing to cooperate with "any relevant government authority and present the full information" the firm might obtain as it investigates the matter.
It also reiterated that its spy tools are blocked from working on US numbers, but said it had "no way to know" whom its customers will choose for hacking.
Apple recently launched a lawsuit against NSO, with reports saying that the tech giant was beginning to alert victims whose iPhones had been compromised by the Israeli hacking tool.
NSO produces sophisticated malware and makes them available to countries worldwide regardless of their own technical abilities.
Pegasus, the NSO's spyware, can hack into a mobile phone and intercept all communications, including encrypted messages. It can also turn any phone into a listening device and enable a Pegasus operator to remotely activate the targeted phone's recorder and camera.
In July, the Pegasus Project, a joint media investigation into NSO, revealed evidence of attacks against American journalists and others.
The phone numbers of top French officials, including President Emmanuel Macron and most of his cabinet, also appeared in a leaked database at the heart of the investigative project.
The investigation also found that senior US diplomat Robert Malley, who currently serves as the Biden administration's special envoy for Iran, appeared to have been selected as a person of interest by an NSO customer.
Belarus is ready to end confrontation with Western nations, Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said, adding that Minsk has made firm proposals to that effect.
Makei made the remarks in an interview with the Belarus-1 TV channel on Saturday while commenting on his participation in the meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) foreign ministers in Stockholm, Press TV reported.
"What is said publicly during such public events is one thing. On the sidelines, however, our colleagues say that we all should make a stop and start thinking of how to stop fuelling tensions any further and prevent the situation from spiraling further down," Makei said.
"We are ready for that," he said during the interview. "We have made concrete proposals."
"Clearly, this won't happen immediately," the Belarusian top diplomat said, but added, "I think that there is always a way out of any situation, including out of this complicated situation in the current relations between Belarus and the European Union."
He went on to say that he had held talks with some of his Western colleagues on the sidelines of the Stockholm event, though he did not identify those diplomats.
The remarks came just a day after the Belarusian Foreign Ministry lashed out at the West for imposing fresh sanctions on Belarus after accusing Minsk of stoking a migrant crisis.
The US, Canada, and their European allies, which have accused Minsk of hijacking the crisis for "political reasons," decided on Thursday to broaden their restrictive economic measures targeting more Belarusian officials and businesses.
"The depth of the absurdity of the EU's decision on the latest sanctions against sovereign Belarus and its very content is by now difficult to comprehend," the ministry emphasized in an official statement that further censured the West for "demonizing" Belarus while vowing "tough" retaliatory measures.
Nearly 2,000 people camped out last month on the Belarus-Poland border in freezing conditions before the makeshift camp was cleared out by border guards and the migrants were moved to a logistics center.
Militants killed at least 31 people in a village in central Mali when they fired upon a bus ferrying people to a local market, the latest deadly attack in a region racked by violent insurgency, Reuters reported.

This is my seventh and final address to the University.
It does not seem that long ago that I stood here and confessed to being both excited and awed by the responsibility that came with being elected to the office of Vice-Chancellor.
The excitement has not abated –if anything, it has increased as I have come to understand more fully the vital role that our University plays in contributing to society locally, nationally and globally.
As for the awe in the face of the responsibility –this has not diminished either.
And although six years ought to be enough time to get to grips with the challenges of any job, the role has continued to test and to motivate me.
The four pillars
Allow me to refer back to that first address to the University, where I singled out four elements that, in my view, would determine our continuing success as a University:
The collegiate nature of the University… Our ability to deliver excellence in education…Our ability to deliver excellence in research… And our commitment to being a truly global university.
Those four elements remain the pillars that make Cambridge successful.
Collegiate Cambridge
The collegiate nature of the University has been, and remains, one of our greatest strengths.
Bound inextricably by history, and by a joint responsibility for students, today the University and the 31 colleges work in a common endeavour more closely than at any time I can remember.
This has been particularly true since the launch, at the end of last year, of the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the collegiate University's history –a subject to which I will return.
Working closely with the colleges has allowed us to establish common practices to manage, in a consistent and joined-up way, difficult issues requiring the attention of the full collegiate university.
Whether it is working together to widen participation, to implement safeguarding and welfare policies, or to deal with sexual assault and harassment, there are things that we can only do properly when we do them in concert.
Excellence in education will always be a priority of the collegiate university.
I was determined when I took up the post not only to maintain (or even improve) the quality of our educational offer, but also to widen its availability to talented applicants, wherever they were from.
There is still much more work to be done in this area, but the increase in the number of graduate scholarships awarded by the University over the past six years is a source of tremendous satisfaction.
Widening access to the University has been a personal priority.
Attracting students based on their abilities rather than their social or educational background is one of the ways in which we fulfil our mission to contribute to society.
And here the results have been promising:
Since 2011, the proportion of students we have admitted who have been educated in the state sector has increased from 58.8% to 62.3% at present.
Our undergraduate student body is more diverse than ever before.
20% of acceptances to Cambridge in the 2015 admissions cycle came from BME backgrounds –the highest it has ever been.
We continue to face obstacles to widening participation due to poor academic attainment in areas of low participation across the country.
We have responded to those difficulties by enhancing our engagement with schools, and by facilitating college links to schools in low participation areas.
Excellence in research
I said in 2010 that research excellence is the defining feature of our institutional landscape, and integral to establishing our international reputation.
Cambridge continues to be a world-leader in research.
Consider some of the developments driven by our researchers in the last year alone:
We are closer to understanding the molecular origins of Alzheimer's disease, which raises the tantalising prospect of developing a preventative treatment for neurodegenerative conditions.
Cambridge-led research into the prediction of pregnancy outcomes is now being extended to Kampala, and has the potential to transform the health of women who suffer one of the highest pregnancy complication rates in the world.
Researchers in our Department of Chemistry have developed a new generation of batteries with higher capacity, increased energy efficiency and improved stability, making a significant contribution to the problem of energy security.
A multi-disciplinary project led by Cambridge linguists is shedding light on the myriad ways in which multilingualism is vital to individuals and societies.
The Department of Architecture is proposing better ways of living with flooding in order to have cities and towns that are more resilient in the face of extreme weather events.
The Bronze Age settlement of Must Farm, under the careful stewardship of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, has opened up a window on everyday life as it was 3000 years ago, and has already yielded Britain's largest collections of Bronze Age textiles, beads and domestic artefacts.
Thanks to our astronomers, we are now able to look beneath the surface of planets outside of our own solar system.
From the molecular level, to the human, to the cosmic –it is this kind of research that continues to set us apart, and that continues to underpin our international reputation for excellence.
But success in this area requires investment, and the University's full commitment to supporting the people who are at the front line of research.
Our postdoctoral community is the engine that powers our research capacity.
Today it comprises nearly 4000 researchers across all fields –the fastest growing staff group.
Providing better conditions for them has been a particular focus of mine over the past few years, and has been the primary role of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, created three years into my tenure.
Here again, the role of the collegiate University has been paramount, as Cambridge colleges are rising to the challenge of welcoming and accommodating these indispensable members of the University.
In the field of innovation, and for the third consecutive year, we have broken all our previous records for seed fund investment.
This has proved the immense value that the University places on innovation for the benefit of society across a wide range of scientific and technical endeavours.
As for the aspiration expressed six years ago, that Cambridge should commit to being a truly global university, the concrete progress has been very significant.
I have repeatedly said that I am against immigration policies that will stymie the flow of talented international students and staff to our University.
The fact that Cambridge was one of the four UK institutions chosen to pilot a new streamlined visa scheme for overseas students is a clear indication that we are not only trusted by government in our handling of international students, but that we are one of the UK's best destinations for them.
It is a modest step, but it is a step in the right direction.
Our instinct for seeking out excellence and setting up enduring and mutually beneficial collaborations has led us to establish strategic partnerships across the globe.
Whether it is the successful Cambridge-Africa Programme involving universities in Ghana, Uganda and elsewhere on the African continent… or the close association with the government of India to pursue new research in crop science … or the creation, with Germany's Max Planck Institutes, of a Cambridge-based centre for ethics and law –international partnerships are now an inextricable part of the University's make-up.
And they will be more crucial to our success in the future than ever before.
There are other areas in which we have also come a long way since 2010.
The opening of the Maxwell Centre, in West Cambridge, was one of this year's highlights.
Also in West Cambridge, the Department of Chemical engineering and Biotechnology will start undergraduate teaching in its new building this Michaelmas term.
The expansion of the biomedical campus and the development of North West Cambridge are the most significant capital investment projects in the history of the University, and they have already had a transformative effect on the city itself.
The first occupants of the North West Cambridge site are expected to arrive in early 2017.
These new developments will allow the University of Cambridge to offer an infrastructure that is commensurate with its standing as a world-leading university.
Crucially, they will allow us to serve our local community in new and creative ways.
The University of Cambridge Primary School, part of the North West Cambridge development, and now embarking upon a second year of successful activities, is a wonderful exemplar of how we do just that.
Local engagement
In other areas, the University's role as a cornerstone of local development has been emphasised as we have enhanced our regional engagement over the past few years.
It is evident that the future of the University is intimately bound with the economic health of the East of England.
So we have invested in relationships with local businesses, and with neighbouring higher education institutions –and we welcome the arrival of the newly created University of Suffolk.
We have developed closer links with local authorities in the City, the County and the wider region.
We are working together to improve regional infrastructure, and to accelerate rural economic growth.
The intense debate around the City Deal demonstrates the high level of engagement by people in and around Cambridge, and the shared commitment to reducing traffic congestion and improving the environment.
We have demonstrated that the impact of the University reaches far beyond the city and the Cambridge cluster of businesses, driving innovation, jobs and growth across the East of England and beyond.
In light of imminent decisions around regional devolution and local planning that will shape the future of our region for years to come, this is the right time for the University to step up its involvement in the region.
Devolution is likely to bring the region's first elected mayor, with whom we look forward to working.
A firm financial footing
I took up the reins of the University at a time of great financial uncertainty, and saw it as one of my main duties to secure the University's financial position.
In this, I hope to have achieved success –from the unprecedented bond issue in 2012, to the more recent confirmation of our AAA credit rating, the University is today on a firm financial footing.
This is due, in no small part, to the steady stewardship of our Registrary, who I am sad to see stepping down at the end of 2016 after nine years in the role, and after 34 years of service to the University sector.
We do not seek financial gain for its own sake.
But financial security is central to guaranteeing our autonomy, and to being able to fulfil our mission to the best of our capacity.
Philanthropic fundraising is a major component of that financial security.
When I last addressed you, the University and the Colleges were about to launch a £2bn fundraising campaign.
This has been the most successful fundraising year in collegiate Cambridge's history, with more than £210m raised in a single financial year.
This brings the total raised in this fundraising campaign to £743m –a testament to the generosity of our alumni and supporters.
Philanthropy is critical to us.
It underpins our academic autonomy, and allows us to deliver our transformative research.
It brings the best people to study and work with us.
They are the people who will produce ideas that change the world.
Philanthropy is the catalyst for discovery –and it ensures that discoveries continue, even at a time of unparalleled financial challenges.
To all of our benefactors we owe our immense, continued gratitude.
Strength in the face of new challenges
This state of affairs, as I have briefly outlined it, gives me the confidence that Cambridge has the strength to respond to some of the challenges ahead.
And they will be quite formidable challenges.
Domestically, with the introduction of a Teaching Excellence Framework and the enactment of the Higher Education and Research Bill, we are faced with the prospect of a wholesale transformation of the way we deliver and evaluate education.
And while we welcome any measures designed to increase accountability and transparency and to raise standards of teaching, we must remain vigilant and ensure that the proposed solution enables the delivery of excellence, rather than hindering it.
We have actively engaged key government stakeholders to help shape both TEF and the HE Bill, and ensure a good outcome for the University.
In parallel, the creation of a new body replacing the seven UK research councils confronts us with a complete transformation of the research funding landscape as we know it.
All this, of course, while the UK Government decides the best way to uncouple from the European Union following the 23 June referendum.
The outcome of that referendum was not the one I was an advocate for, and certainly not the one that I think would have been best for the University.
And we are no nearer today than we were in June to knowing what the full implications of Brexit will be.
But it is our responsibility, as a community of scholars and researchers, to make sure that Cambridge continues to thrive in spite of the UK's departure from the EU.
Try as we might –and I tried quite hard—we cannot change the current political weather.
So we must seek the opportunities that arise from it –not least the opportunity to emphasise our vocation as an outward looking institution, engaging more widely with the world.
It has always been a source of pride to me that, among European universities, Cambridge has been the top recipient of EU research grants.
I reject the notion that Brexit will make us less good at what we do so well.
We are already defying that narrative, as proven by the recent award of €4.6m for an EU-funded project led by Cambridge that seeks to discover ways in which an artificial pancreas will help children manage type 1 Diabetes.
But our commitment to Europe runs deeper than our access to research funding, or even the essential issue of student and staff mobility.
It is a commitment to a shared cultural and intellectual heritage, of which we are firmly a part.
On this subject, the University has a duty of leadership that it will not abandon.
And of course, because we are not only a European, but also a global university, we will find ourselves in a global competition for talent.
Cambridge must retain the ability to compete with universities in the U.S. and Asia –as well as Europe— in a worldwide search for the best scholars.
Other challenges are much closer to home, and perhaps more difficult to articulate.
I believe that we must resist the notion that universities are places where the right not to be offended takes precedence over freedom of expression.
The best way to fight bad ideas is by deploying better ideas.
The University of Cambridge is a place where students and staff can expect to be safe from harm, but where they should also expect to be challenged intellectually..
The freedom to express opinions –however distasteful some may find them—is the bedrock upon which we continue to build this community of scholars.
The trials ahead are many, and monumental, but Cambridge has never been in a better position to tackle them.
We take strength from our strong sense of community.
We take strength from our ability to translate academic influence into global leadership and influence.
And we take strength from our commitment to contributing to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence.
A year from now, my successor will be taking the reins of this university.
I am confident that he will be taking over an institution with the resilience and the vigour to withstand any future challenges.
And the one thing I will be able to say to him is this: you will be taking on one of the world's most stimulating jobs.
But there is much work yet to be done, and (as the past twelve months have shown) a year is a long time in the life of a university.
In the months ahead, I will continue to lead the University as it seeks to adapt to the rather unsettled and unsettling new landscape in higher education.
In this transition, the team of Pro-Vice-Chancellors that I have come to rely on so greatly will play an essential role.
They are the ones who will provide continuity, and ensure that the ship sails steadily even as one captain gives way to another.
A personal reflection
Allow me, if I may, to end on a more personal reflection.
I have been asked a lot recently: what have I most enjoyed about my time as Vice-Chancellor? What will I remember most fondly?
These are difficult questions, not because I can't find an answer, but because I have too many to choose from.
I will certainly never forget the sight of one of our national treasures, Sir David Attenborough, dangling dangerously from a rope at the opening of the magnificent new building named after him.
Because I like sport, and because I am competitive, I confess that I derived tremendous satisfaction from watching the men's boat finally win the boat race this year.
It was a thrill to be following behind them, even in those inclement weather conditions, navigating those choppy waters around the Surrey Bend…
But if pressed further about what I have most enjoyed about my tenure, it would probably be this: the people.
For anyone with an inquiring mind and an appetite for new knowledge, to be offered the job of Vice-Chancellor at Cambridge is like offering the proverbial child the sweetshop.
I have enjoyed the daily company of some of the finest minds in the world.
I have cherished being part of a global community of inquisitive and creative men and women –from freshers, to professors, to our enthusiastic and committed alumni across the world.
I have felt grateful for the kindness and support you have shown me.
And I have felt privileged to be entrusted, by this very community, with the leadership of one of the world's greatest institutions.
I hope to have repaid that trust.
And though in a year's time I will be handing that responsibility over to my excellent successor, I will never cease to feel that Cambridge is where I belong.

A viral video of a shark being dragged behind a boat has drawn the attention of Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission investigators. The video was shared by local fisherman Mark "The Shark" Quartiano on his Instagram account after Quartiano was ale
Russ Rector, an animal activist who said he was given the video by the person who filmed it, believes the same crew is responsible for both videos.
"My first reaction was how ridiculous it was and how cruel it was, quite frankly," he said. "This was all done so they can videotape it and show it to their friends."
Rector, who said he was told it happened in the waters off Siesta Key near Sarasota, called the shooting "inhumane."
"If you are going to kill a shark, you shoot it in the head," he said. "He fired shots into the gill, causing the shark to bleed out and suffocate."
Late last month, video of a speeding boat brutally dragging a shark drew outrage, spawning an online petition to revoke the men's fishing licenses. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission said it was investigating the video, but had not named the people involved.
The anglers behind the dragging video, however, were named by local news and online commenters, who condemned their behavior. Two of the four were identified as Michael Wenzel and Robert Lee "Bo" Benac, whose mother is chairwoman of the Manatee County Commission.
As for the video showing the shark being shot, Rector said wildlife agency was also investigating that video.
"These people need to be held accountable for the nasty, evil, heinous thing they did," he said.
By law, people cannot shoot sharks in Florida waters but can in federal waters further from shore. It was not clear exactly where this incident took place.
A spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission told WSVN Channel 7 Thursday, "That video was forwarded to us as a result of the public outcry from the first shark dragging video. The video is being investigated, and FWC can't confirm identities."

Did a Rick Scott loyalist just force a judge to recuse himself in felon voting case?
By Lawrence Mower Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau
The judge overseeing a challenge to Republican-backed restrictions to restoring felon voting rights recused himself from the case after the Broward supervisor of elections made a "deeply troubling" legal maneuver, the judge said.
