Women's History Month: Interview with Intrax President, Marcie Schneider
March is Women's History Month. To honor the occasion, Intrax's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Team sat down with Intrax President Marcie Schneider. As a well-respected executive and leader within the international education and cultural exchange community, we wanted to get Marcie's thoughts about what the past couple of years have meant for women, her experience as a female leader, and what comes next.
Impact of COVID-19 on Women and Intrax's Focus to Strengthen DE&I
Last year, an article was released by Diversity Abroad indicating women were 1.5x more likely to leave or consider leaving their senior-level role as a result of the added challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Data throughout the pandemic revealed women were disproportionately leaving the labor force compared to men, partially because women worked in industries most heavily impacted such as hospitality and healthcare. The Diversity Abroad study also found that women generally took on the brunt of childcare and education needs when schools and daycares closed. In addressing the general disproportionate strain on women through the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcie fears losing women in leadership roles may also impact the advocacy efforts for inclusive and employee-friendly policies and practices within organizations. When looking at who promotes broad diversity efforts in the workforce, "more than 50 percent of senior-level women say they consistently take a public stand for gender and racial equity at work, compared with about 40 percent of senior-level men" (Coury et al., 2020). Furthermore, women leaders are more likely to lift other women and other underrepresented groups into leadership roles through mentorship and sponsorship, as we see with the statistic that "38 percent of senior-level women currently mentor or sponsor one or more women of color, compared with only 23 percent of senior-level men" (Coury et al., 2020), evidenced by Marcie's personal commitment to mentoring.
"Mentoring is a really important responsibility for women coming into a field: career development and success, equal pay, understanding that they face different pressures along the way. It's really a responsibility I feel personally, to be available as a mentor, as an advisor, as a support to women, to young women who have a desire to progress as a female leader in this industry," said Marcie.
The international education and cultural exchange industry happens to be predominately occupied by women who are passionate about the mission of connecting people and cultures to foster mutual understanding around the world. However, there is still a disparity within the industry in terms of female representation in senior-level positions and on Boards of Directors. "It has improved over the last 30 years, but not dramatically still," said Marcie. Although female representation is strong in leadership roles at Intrax, the organization acknowledges that more can be done to increase representation from diverse demographics that are currently underrepresented at the top and throughout cultural exchange programs overall. Intrax is actively assessing internal policies and practices to further improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within the organization.
"Longer term, we're looking at Intrax hiring practices to think of innovative ways on how we attract people to join the organization from many different backgrounds. I'm thrilled that we're working through this as an organization. I see DE&I as a very long-term focus. We're invested in training our staff to be inclusive, assessing our policies to be more equitable and creating opportunities for cultural exchange to be accessible to diverse and underrepresented individuals," said Marcie.
Leading Through the COVID-19 Pandemic
Exchange programs were nearly halted over the last two years. In leading the organization through the last two years, Marcie acknowledged it was a very difficult time for staff. The uncertainty and the severe limitations to administer programs was scary for staff, and for the industry as a whole. "We did a lot of things behind the scenes to make sure jobs were saved and to ensure our programs had a fighting chance to continue. I'm very grateful and proud of that," said Marcie. "A lot of that had to do with John and Take (Intrax founders) having been financially responsible through the organization's 40 years of operation. Because of their leadership, Intrax was in a strong position going into the pandemic, when a lot of other companies or partners weren't in that situation," she continued. Marcie attributes consistent and transparent communication as the key in reassuring staff and stakeholders that Intrax would get through the pandemic.
For 2022, Intrax is anticipating a year of recovery and growth with pre-pandemic levels of program participation. "Although the last two years have been challenging, crisis sometimes creates opportunity," said Marcie as she discussed Intrax's acquisition of Americamp which was announced in May of 2021. At the same time that 2020 and 2021 were incredibly stressful, it was also a time of really exciting new developments for Intrax. On where Intrax is headed, Marcie stated:
"I see a really bright future for Intrax, with a lot of new things we will be doing. Primarily, it comes back to our core. I think if we divide ourselves too widely, where we're going away from our mission with the things we're adding, we become a different type of organization. That's not my goal. It's more to take what we have, enhance it, to grow it, to have an engaged staff that's really excited and sees growth opportunities."
Importance of Exchange Programs
Intrax is doubling down on the importance of exchange programs. Recent Intrax acquisitions will not only expand current programs, they'll also broaden Intrax program offerings with new designations for the company. Exchange programs are more important now than ever to help foster mutual understanding and make the world a safer and more peaceful place. The BridgeUSA program was founded post-WWII in an effort to prevent future wars and promote public diplomacy around the world. Intrax is deeply saddened by what's currently happening in Ukraine. Marcie shared hopes for a return to peace in Ukraine and in other conflict areas around the world.
"The programs are really important because they open up people's eyes, usually at a young and formative age, in a period of time when you can appreciate the things from your culture that you miss but you can learn from another culture the things that they're doing that you feel are better or more suitable. You can merge them back together when you come back to your country and share it with the people around you. To me, is the most important thing about what we do. We're changing the lives of people all the time, even though it happens sometimes so subtly," said Marcie.

From freedom rider to congressman
Carolan Ownby
associate director of LEAP
Warning: Use of undefined constant on - assumed 'on' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /mnt/web_root/html/attheu.umc.utah.edu/wp-content/themes/umctheme2-child-attheu/functions.php on line 526
U.S. Congressman John Lewis will speak at the University of Utah Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. at Libby Gardner Concert Hall. Lewis is a civil rights icon who recently published the first two graphic novels in a trilogy that chronicle his perspective of the civil rights movement. He will be joined by co-author Andrew Aydin and illustrator Nate Powell. His appearance is sponsored by the University of Utah MUSE Project (My U Signature Experience), a presidential initiative that works to enrich undergraduate education across the university.
In anticipation of his visit to campus and the MUSE Project's focus on "community" this academic year, several courses have adopted his graphic novels into the curriculum. Professor Lecturer Carolan Ownby, who is also associate director of the U's LEAP Program, outlines her course, Community as Idea and Experience: Definition of the Other, below. The course explores the theme of community and the process of exclusion, especially as it is motivated by perception of race and class, in a national, international and global context. It also explores the impact an individual can have on a community through service.
Students, faculty and staff interested in reading the graphic novel can pick up a free copy of March, books one and two, in the MUSE Project offices, located in the Sterling Sill Center (just east of the Union Building, 195 Central Campus Drive). Tickets to the event will be available soon, both online and in-person at venues across campus. Check muse.utah.edu for updates regarding ticket availability.
LEAP is a yearlong learning community for first-year students designed to help them transition more confidently to college and to play an active role in their own education. Students work in small classes and participate in social and service activities with other students and with peer advisors. All LEAP courses focus on the themes of diversity and community.
Before this year, the book with which my students and I began the semester was often one about poverty in America. Last year, I used "The Other Wes Moore," which was a previous MUSE selection. This year, however, we began the class with the first two volumes of John Lewis's "March," and the fit has been serendipitous.
Many of my students were born around 1995, and have a vague knowledge of the civil rights movement drawn from their high school history days. They know events, but not necessarily where to place them on a chronology. They know some names, but don't always know the importance of people who bear those names. They all know who Martin Luther King Jr. was, but have not heard of people like James Foreman or Bayard Rustin. They have not heard of Lewis.
U.S. Representative John R. Lewis.
For me, one of the three most important images of the civil rights movement is that of Lewis in his light-colored raincoat, standing still at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, being approached by police with clubs coming to beat him. I want students to know that image, and to consider and discuss the level of courage that must have taken. I want them to know that he spoke at the March on Washington, immediately before Martin Luther King Jr. I want them to know that he still is actively involved in service as a U.S. congressman.
The graphic novel format of "March" has worked especially well in my classes. Initially, I was intrigued by the idea, but wasn't sure precisely how I would teach a graphic novel. I discovered some important things:
Students actually read the entire book.
The books condense a great deal of information into a small space.
Students notice the nuanced interplay of ideas that occurs.
For example, early in "March: Book One," Lewis describes a trip he took as a boy, driving north from Alabama to Buffalo, New York. One crucial lesson he learned was that the farther north he got, the more relaxed he became. He also notices that black drivers going the other direction, from north to south faced increasing danger. This can lead to a discussion of the fate of Emmett Till, effectively and succinctly described in a single page, who died because he didn't know the difference that Lewis had learned.
Another theme we have focused on is the use of music in the civil rights movement. "March" makes this easy by using lyrics as occasional illustrations: "We shall overcome" or "Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around." I play the music before class starts to "set the tone" (as one student described it). However, I also want to talk about the importance of music such as Nkosi sikelel'i Afrika in the fight against apartheid later in the semester, so this baseline is important for comparison. We've watched one piece of the documentary "Long Walk to Freedom," part of which includes the speech that Lyndon B. Johnson gave about the Voting Rights Act, where he used the phrase "We Shall Overcome." The documentary explains how important that phrase was, both to the whites in the south, and to Martin Luther King Jr. I want my students to understand that importance.
A notable musical lyric in the second book comes from the "Star Spangled Banner," sung at the inauguration of President Barack Obama. This is an example of particular strength of a graphic novel, because it takes the reader seamlessly from the attack of the Freedom Riders and John Seigenthaler in Alabama in 1961, to the inauguration of President Obama in 2009, back to the bombing of a church in Alabama in 1961. All kinds of discussions can come from this. Is the national anthem a true expression of our community? Is the Obama presidency postracial? What is the significance of bombing churches? (The second volume ends with the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham church that killed four young girls). Once the question of church bombings is raised, one natural line of discussion is the bombing of the Charleston church in 2015, and the symbolism of the Confederate battle flag.
The story of Lewis will provide a solid foundation for the rest of the semester. We will next talk about scientific racism and privilege. I typically use the example of South Africa during apartheid to approach this, but I will pull in examples from "March" as well. We next discuss Eugenics and the Army tests prior to World War I, leading to things such as the 1924 Immigration Restriction Act and the Tuskegee Study. Again, the story of Lewis will provide a significant foundation. The Tuskegee Study doesn't end until 1972. How is that possible, given that the civil rights movement goes on through the decade of the 1960s? When we next move to a discussion of apartheid in South Africa, we will have more skill to make a comparison between the freedom movements of the United States and South Africa.
The final foreseeable impact that "March" will have on my classes will be understanding the potential impact of an individual on community. Because my course carries a community-engaged learning designation, my students complete 25 hours of service working with a community partner, such as Horizonte, International Rescue Committee, Promise South Salt Lake, Neighborhood House and Maliheh Free Clinic.
There will be some students in my classes who will be deeply influenced by their own foray into community service, and others who will not. But all of them will have the chance to understand how one individual, like Lewis, can impact a community. Even if they personally choose not to pursue the path of community involvement, they will better understand the contribution of Lewis. To have the opportunity to hear him speak in person, will indeed be a signature experience.
Each year, MUSE facilitates student-led book discussion groups surrounding the centerpiece text. If you're interested in reading the graphic novel "March" within a book discussion group, or if you're a student looking to start a "March" discussion group of your own, email MUSE Project Event and Communication Specialist Libby Henriksen at e.henriksen@muse.utah.edu for more information.

Meijer enters region with opening of Stow, 2 other supercenters
Meijer enters region with opening…
By Jim Mackinnon// Beacon Journal
Meijer continues making bets on bricks-and-mortar retail in Ohio with the opening of supercenters in Stow and two other Northeast Ohio communities.
The Stow store officially opens at 7 a.m., followed by a ribbon-cutting celebration two hours later with Meijer executives and local officials. The grocery/general merchandise hybrid, at 4303 Kent Road near Fishcreek Road, faces competition from nearby Macy's, Acme, Aldi, Giant Eagle, Kohl's and other retailers.
At the same time, Meijer will open similar 155,000-square-foot supercenters in Avon and in Mentor, in what the Michigan retailer says is its first foray into Northeast Ohio. The supercenters feature a grocery on one end and department store merchandise on the other.
The addition of three Northeast Ohio stores means Meijer will have 42 retail locations in Ohio plus a distribution center and dairy processor plant. With the new stores, the privately owned chain based in Walker, Michigan, northwest of Grand Rapids, will have more than 240 supercenters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana.
"We've been looking at this area for a while," said Ken Barclay, Meijer's Cleveland market director. "Northeast Ohio is a big market for us."
Barclay said Meijer intends to differentiate itself from its nearby competitors by trying to be a better fit in the local community and also with dedicated employees. The Stow store will have about 300 employees, with about 60 percent working full time.
The Stow supercenter will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will feature a wide variety of produce, including locally sourced items, a pharmacy, as well as merchandise, Barclay said.
In addition, Lakewood-based Addicted Coffee and Ice Cream will lease space inside the front of the store.
"It's really like a one-stop shop," Barclay said. "One of the things I like about the [store] design, it talks about the Meijer heritage," via signs.
The company was founded as a supermarket in 1934 in Greenville, Michigan, by Hendrik and Fred Meijer and over the decades opened other stores. It created its first supercenter in 1962 in Grand Rapids by combining a grocery and department store under one roof.
Meijer expects the bulk of its Stow store customers will come from a 5- to 6-mile radius around the property, with less-regular customers coming from 20 to 30 miles away, Barclay said.
Meijer spokesman Joseph Hirschmugl said the chain has been in Ohio since 1981, when it opened a store in the Columbus area. The company now has about 10,000 Ohio employees, he said.
"We may be new to Akron, but we are not new to Ohio," he said.

NEW YORK - QVC and Home Shopping Network, long known as a base for home shopping on TV, are combining further as they look at aggressive growth by Amazon and consumer buying shifting even more to online.
Liberty Interactive Corp., which owns QVC and already owns 38 percent of HSN, will buy the rest of Home Shopping Network for about $2.6 billion in a stock deal.
Both QVC and Home Shopping Network had been dealing with sluggish sales as Amazon dominates online shopping, though both had long moved beyond the cable channels they were famous for and were refashioning themselves for shoppers more used to buying on their mobile phones. One concern has been whether they can draw enough younger shoppers as they enter a higher-spending mode.
Integrating the companies will make them "stronger than they are individually and stronger yet as a standalone entity" in a "changing and difficult market," said Greg Maffei, Liberty's president and CEO.
The combined company will serve an estimated 23 million customers worldwide and ship more than 320 million packages every year, said Mike George, QVC's president and CEO. QVC is stronger in fashion and beauty, he said, while crediting HSN in areas like electronics, fitness and health.
He also noted the companies' social media presence and increasing e-commerce sales, with about $7.5 billion, and $4.7 billion in sales from mobile devices. In terms of video reach, the two will access more than 360 million TV homes globally.
The company said the deal will mean between $75 million and $110 million in cost savings over the next three to five years. That's in line with an analysis from Citi, which has suggested cost savings of up to $100 million a year. In the near term, though, it expects the cost-savings to be small.
Liberty, based in Englewood, Colorado, will issue 53.4 million shares of QVC Series A common stock to HSN shareholders. It said Thursday that's the equivalent of paying $40.36 per share for HSN Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida. Shares of HSN surged $8.62, or 27 percent, to $39.92 in midday trading.

The 17 Best TV Show Intros That Are Visually Striking
A lot of TV intro sequences are bland and uninspired, but every so often there are TV show intros that are so good they blow you away.
byPaul Strother
Sometimes TV show title sequences can be even cooler than the shows they introduce! But even if not, a great intro is usually a sign that what you're about to watch is worth giving a chance.
Here are some of the best TV show intros we've ever seen. We're covering a wide variety of TV shows, but they all have visually striking intros that look absolutely fantastic.

17. Game of Thrones
Series DVD
Don't have HBO Max? For a limited time, you can get 50% OFF if you sign up for 6 months. HBO doesn't run sales very often, so now's a great chance to catch up on HBO content!
In the Game of Thrones intro, the camera moves over a 3D mechanical moving map of the world. The locations that are shown change in relation to the events of a particular episode, so it even offers a bit of foreshadowing and anticipation!

16. Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan has a lot of different intros—sometimes they change even part-way through a season—but each one is wild. I've never even seen this show and I personally know nothing about it, but even I know that these title sequences are awesome.

15. True Detective (Season One)
Season DVD
This title sequence for the first season of HBO's True Detective sets the mood of the series perfectly. You don't know what you're in for (yet), but you begin to get a sense of how dark and weird its going to get. Not to mention the Southern vibes!

14. Batman: The Animated Series
The intro to Batman: The Animated Series still remains as one of the greatest TV show title sequences of all time. The animation style on display here represents one of the most emblematic interpretations of the character to date.

13. Star Trek: Discovery
Paramount+ offers thousands of movies and TV series to stream online, plus live news and live sports, starting at $5.99/mo. Check out Paramount+ now!
With a few exceptions, the numerous Star Trek TV series all have great TV intro sequences.
Star Trek: Discovery breaks from the usual theme of spaceships flying around celestial wonders and instead does some really cool animations of technology schematics and other illustrations.
The ingenuity of this title sequence puts it above most, but it also just flat-out looks better than almost anything else out there.
12. Cowboy Bebop
Funimation offers unlimited streaming for hundreds of anime series and movies (subbed or dubbed), without ads, at an affordable price. Try it out for FREE for 14 days!
The intro to Cowboy Bebop sits in a category of title sequences that I don't know what to name or how to describe. Other TV show intros in this category include Archer, The Venture Bros, and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.
They all have the same type of noir-comic animation with a similar style of music that plays as the soundtrack theme. They're all great, but Cowboy Bebop did it first among the group—and is still the best version in this mold.
11. The Six Million Dollar Man
The Six Million Dollar Man's TV show intro is full of retro space and computer imagery that still looks awesome all these years later. There's a reason this intro sequence has been parodied multiple times long after it originally aired—it's iconic and enduringly cool.
10. Rick and Morty
There's a lot going on in the Rick and Morty intro. It changes with each season, but even if it didn't, you would keep noticing new things with each watch. Some of what's shown is exclusive to the intro, but some of it's from episodes of the show.

9. Westworld (Season One)
There are many valid criticisms of Westworld as a TV series, but none of them include the show's visual qualities. The opening sequence changes with each season, and they all look great, but the first season's title sequence was entirely majestic.

8. Bojack Horseman
The intro to Bojack Horseman changes based on what's happening in the show. Yeah, Bojack is always wandering through the same places, but the background details clue you in to what's happening in his life. Definitely one of those TV intros you shouldn't skip!
7. The Expanse
Amazon Prime offers unlimited streaming for thousands of great TV shows and movies, plus 2-day delivery, free games and ebooks, and more. Try it for FREE for 30 days!
The Expanse as a whole is acclaimed for its visual production, so it comes as no surprise that its title sequence also looks spectacular. Honestly, this intro is easily one of the best sci-fi TV show intros of all time, even besting Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek.

6. Airwolf
Cool helicopter footage with a retro 80s look. I've never seen Airwolf but this title sequence rocks. What more is there to say?
5. Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack as a whole always looks great, so of course the intro sequence is going to look awesome as well.
The show's creator Genndy Tartakovsky was also the mastermind behind Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and Primal. Everything his name is attached to is quality material.
He also did a pilot for a show called Korgoth of Barbaria that never took off. Check it out on YouTube if you get a chance!

4. Luther
Luther is a great detective TV show that has an equally great TV intro. It doesn't get as much recognition as True Detective's first season title sequence, but it's just as good. It also came out a few years earlier, which makes it even better.
3. His Dark Materials
The sleek intro of His Dark Materials is packed with spoilers and plot teasers. But you don't have to worry about noticing them because the eye candy of this trippy fantasy sequence will distract you from all of that. What a fantastic intro sequence!

2. Aqua TV Show Show
Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of the most iconic and popular cartoons on Adult Swim, played around with a lot of different intros in their later seasons. Yet while most of them are really cool and interesting, this one stands out among all of them.

1. The Twilight Zone
It doesn't get more classic than Rod Sterling's The Twilight Zone. If you haven't seen the Futurama spoofs of The Twilight Zone called The Scary Door, you can find a compilation with a quick search on YouTube. Go ahead and check 'em out! They're quite funny.

This paper shows that the capitalization of local amenities is effectively priced into land via a two-part pricing formula: a "ticket" price paid regardless of the amount of housing service consumed and a "slope" price paid per unit of services. We first show theoretically how tickets arise as an extensive margin price when there are binding constraints on the number of households admitted to a neighborhood. We use a large national dataset of housing transactions, property characteristics, and neighborhood attributes to measure the extent to which local amenities are capitalized in ticket prices vis-a-vis slopes. We find that in most U.S. cities, the majority of neighborhood variation in pricing occurs via tickets, although the importance of tickets rises sharply in the stringency of land development regulations, as predicted by theory. We discuss implications of two-part pricing for efficiency and equity in neighborhood sorting equilibria and for empirical estimates of willingness to pay for non marketed amenities, which generally assume proportional pricing only.


Abstract : In this paper, we study a colouring problem motivated by a practical frequency assignment problem and, up to our best knowledge, new. In wireless networks, a node interferes with other nodes, the level of interference depending on numerous parameters: distance between the nodes, geographical topography, obstacles, etc. We model this with a weighted graph $(G,w)$ where the weight function $w$ on the edges of $G$ represents the noise (interference) between the two end-vertices. The total interference in a node is then the sum of all the noises of the nodes emitting on the same frequency. A weighted $t$-improper $k$-colouring of $(G,w)$ is a $k$-colouring of the nodes of $G$ (assignment of $k$ frequencies) such that the interference at each node does not exceed the threshold $t$. We consider here the Weighted Improper Colouring problem which consists in determining the weighted $t$-improper chromatic number defined as the minimum integer $k$ such that $(G,w)$ admits a weighted $t$-improper $k$-colouring. We also consider the dual problem, denoted the Threshold Improper Colouring problem, where, given a number $k$ of colours, we want to determine the minimum real $t$ such that $(G,w)$ admits a weighted $t$-improper $k$-colouring. We show that both problems are NP-hard and first present general upper bounds for both problems; in particular we show a generalisation of Lovász's Theorem for the weighted $t$-improper chromatic number. Motivated by the original application, we then study a special interference model on various grids (square, triangular, hexagonal) where a node produces a noise of intensity 1 for its neighbours and a noise of intensity 1/2 for the nodes at distance two. We derive the weighted $t$-improper chromatic number for all values of $t$.

Heinrich Klaasen shall captain the Proteas in the 3-match series.
Pakistan vs South Africa, 1st T20I, Preview, Playing XI (Image Source: @Therealpcbmedia)
The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is set to host the first T20 International (T20I) of the three-match series between Pakistan and South Africa on Thursday (February 11).
Recently, the hosts have defeated the visiting side by 2-0 in the Test series. Hence, Pakistan will be looking to continue their dominance at home over Proteas.
On the other hand, South Africa will be playing this series without most of their regular players. They were supposed to play the Test leg against Australia, but the series had been cancelled.
In the absence of Quinton de Kock, South Africa will be captained by wicket-keeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen in the T20I series.
Pitch report:
The pitch is expected to be flat and good for run-scoring. However, fast bowlers have had descent support in the past. Dew will play its role so the toss shall be crucial.
Head to Head record:
Matches played: 14 | Pakistan: 6 | South Africa: 8 | Tied: 0
Playing Combination:
The home team will miss Fakhar Zaman and Wahab Riaz's services, who were dropped for this series. Also, there's no Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim as well.
Hasan Ali, who last played a white-ball international in the 2019 World Cup, is most likely to get a game after his outstanding comeback in the Test series.
PAK XI: Babar Azam (c), Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Usman Qadir/ Zafar Gohar, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi.
Amid the absence of main players, David Miller is expected to carry a lot of responsibility, who is the most experienced T20 player in the side.
George Linde, Dwaine Pretorius, Tabraiz Shamsi and Lutho Sipamla are the only four players from the Test squad who will play the T20I leg.
SA XI: Heinrich Klaasen (c), Reeza Hendricks, Janneman Malan, Pite van Biljon (wk), David Miller, George Linde, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Junior Dala, Lutho Sipamla, Tabraiz Shamsi.

Sudbury Steamrolled, or Getting Steamed?
Good morning, and happy "World Creativity and Innovation Day," "Bulldogs are Beautiful Day," "Chocolate Covered Cashews Day," "Banana Day," and – for those of you fortunate enough to have one in your life – "Administrative Professionals Day"!
Personally, I am not that fortunate, and I've had too many late nights this week, so I'm going to celebrate Wellness Wednesday by streamlining today's issue…
Université de Sudbury
Since yesterday, there has been at least one more development in Sudbury worth mentioning…
uSudbury Seemed Quiet
Since LU announced its intention to unilaterally terminate the federation on Apr 1, Thorneloe U has objected loudly and begun pursuing a court order to prevent it. Within a week, though, Huntington signed a deal to allow LU to "acquire" its Gerontology program, and agreed it would teach no courses for LU credit. And while uSudbury was publicly exploring ways to become an independent, unilingual francophone institution back in March, before LU's announcement, that didn't seem to be gaining much momentum. (Although MP Paul Lefebvre suggested an independent uS might be one way to protect francophone PSE in Sudbury, while Jagmeet Singh and Alexandre Boulerice have been calling on the federal government to support it.) When the province announced its intention to grant autonomy to Hearst U and NOSM last week, there was no mention of uS.
Pillaging Indigenous Studies
Indigenous groups have been vocal in their concerns about the disappearance of uSudbury's English Indigenous Studies program for months. Tasha Beeds, assistant prof at uS, sharply criticized LU's recolonization of Indigenous Studies: "Laurentian will take the entire Indigenous Studies departments, program, classes, history… all of the Indigenous minds, intellectual legacies, heart and thought, and they will take that and profit from it." Sadly, though, last week it appeared uS might be conceding defeat along with Huntington: uS announced it was cancelling all Spring term courses, and one philosophy prof told the Globe & Mail that "our union suggests [uSudbury] will wind down." Friday, uS signed an interim agreement to allow LU to teach 6 distance-learning Indigenous Studies courses "previously taught" by uSudbury, using "sessional instructors for the Spring term only."
uSudbury takes Legal Action
But yesterday we learned that uSudbury's board of regents filed a notice of motion with the courts last Wednesday, arguing (much like Thorneloe) that the federation agreement is permanent and cannot be unilaterally terminated by LU. "Laurentian is not acting in good faith," and the arbitrary termination would allow it to appropriate 100% of uS student tuition and grants, while burdening uS with ~$4M in costs to terminate its employees. Moreover, if uS were unable to maintain its payments on the land it leases "perpetually" from LU, LU could conceivably take possession of uS's entire campus. The motion explains that "Laurentian owes its existence to USudbury," founded 46 years earlier. The suit also explains that the one-month notice is inadequate for uS to manage the process of resuming its autonomy and independence. CBC
The uSudbury board of regents unanimously voted to undertake the transition process to independence on Mar 11, has assembled an ad hoc committee and a community working group, and retained a consulting firm to develop a business plan to submit to MCU. The Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario enthusiastically supports uS as a third francophone university in Ontario, after UOF and Hearst. Sudbury Star
Repatriate all French Programs
A group of Francophone and Francophile LU faculty are promoting a petition to the Ontario government to establish uSudbury as "a university by and for the Francophone community" of "Middle-North" Ontario. They demand a moratorium on French-language programs at Laurentian and the other federated universities, and urge the repatriation of all French programs and courses from LU to uSudbury, and "all material, physical, human and financial resources (including but not limited to archives, scholarships, donations, and copyright)." Sudbury.com
"The cuts announced by Laurentian University last Monday are devastating. Laurentian University can no longer claim to be the 'torch' of Ontario's Francophonie, having cut half of its French-language programs (20 out of 40) and fired 40 of its Francophone professors." – Denis Hurtubise, Regroupement des professeurs(es) francophones de l'Université Laurentienne
"Apology" to the Community
You have probably noticed that I can't resist a powerful metaphor… I'm drawing my title today from a letter to the editor by a "proud alumna," who describes Laurentian U as "the very fabric of Northern Ontario… part of our poetry." With the tragic cancellation of the midwifery program, she also describes LU as an Olympic pool in which "the students now have anvils attached to them." Sudbury is now "a mining capital with no French mining program," where an Italian Studies student "might never meet a Romano" (ie Ross Romano, Ontario's minister of colleges and universities). The letter ends with an apology for running over LU "with a steamroller, frankly." Sudbury.com
I've started assembling collections of Insider coverage on topics I think might be worth referencing, from issues over the past 13 months. If you want to retrace the evolution of the Laurentian University insolvency saga, for example, just click here:
As you know, I'm keeping a running collection of CdnPSE announcements about plans for Fall 2021 academic delivery, here:
Yes, that old classic, "COVID101" is part of this series, with some fundamental concepts described visually:
It's very much a work in progress, but I am collecting the "upside" articles about some of the positive transformations this year that higher ed should strive to keep post-pandemic, such as compassionate academic policies or WFH flexibility:
I put together several solid issues on recent developments in microcredentials, and I know I'll be sending people to them when they ask me for more details:
The single biggest financial impact of the pandemic, for many smaller Canadian institutions, has been reduced international student mobility because of border restrictions, quarantine requirements, and visa processing delays:
While there's a great deal more to say on this topic, I have also published some items over the past while on how campus leaders can manage uncertainty and ambiguity, and help their teams deal with the resulting stress:
You'll have to tell me a) whether this is worth spending a lot of my time on, and b) what other themes you think I should pull from back issues and assemble as "Insider Recaps." Please do drop me a note!
#ICYMI
I see hundreds of PSE program commercials every week, but this vid, released Monday, made me smile…
RRC Video & Motion Graphics
Perhaps it's the funky music in this :25-sec spot, or the blend of stock video, lively animation and humour, but Red River College has done a nice job allowing the medium to be the message. "Fuse artistry and story-telling with cutting-edge production techniques. Master digital design fundamentals to create content for web and social media." It's worth half a minute of your time!

Compositional Inter-Language Relational Verification
Chung-Kil Hur, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems
Friday 30 March 2012, 10:00-11:00

The "relational" approach to program verification involves showing that some lower-level program of interest is equivalent to (or a refinement of) some higher-level program, which may in turn prove more amenable to traditional verification techniques. Thanks to recent advances in theorem proving technology, the relational approach has been shown to scale to the verification of significant software systems, such as seL4 and the certified CompCert compiler for C.
However, existing relational methods apply only to the verification of whole software systems. For instance, the correctness of the CompCert compiler is guaranteed only when it is used to compile whole programs, since the underlying proof method lacks compositionality.
Informally, compositionality means that the verification of a whole program may be obtained by composing together the verification of its modular subcomponents.
In this talk, I will present two notions of compositionality arising in relational verification—horizontal and vertical compositionality—and discuss the extent to which existing relational techniques do or do not support them. I will then discuss my own work toward fully compositional inter-language relational verification, in particular: (1) the development of a compositional, semantic notion of equivalence between high- and low-level languages, and (2) the invention of a novel relational technique, parametric bisimulations, which supports both horizontal and vertical notions of compositionality.

Also some real samples of footprints, scats and remains of prey like voles after being analysed to understand the diet of predators. We also showed the keys with nice pictures that we use to identify them in real conditions.Thanks especially to Jeremy Querenet for his effort to understand the project and try communicate what we are currently doing.
Hope that there will be more occassions to collaborate. We show here some links, and nice pics of the day.

Sometimes even the most experienced cook comes across a method or term they're not familiar with. This list of the most common cooking methods and terms explains them simply, so even inexperienced cooks can use them to create a praise-worthy dish.
Describes a dish which is coated with sauce, sprinkled with cheese or crumbs and browned in the oven or under the grill.
To cook by dry heat in the oven.
To moisten food with spoonfuls of fat or other liquids while cooking.
A brisk, whipping motion, using a fork, whisk or other form of beater, which lifts a mixture over and over in order to introduce air and to make it very smooth and light.
To soak in boiling water for a few minutes, or in water just brought to the boil, and then plunged into ice water.
To mix in two or more ingredients so thoroughly that each loses its identity.
To cook foods or liquids at boiling point.
To brown meats or vegetables in a small amount of fat and then to cook them slowly in a very small amount of liquid in a covered pan, either on top of the stove or in the oven.
A meat broth, not clarified, that is to say, not strained.
A mixture of herbs, tied loosely in muslin and used to flavour soups, stews and sauces.
Fat heated, skimmed and strained, to be used for greasing tins etc.
To mix and beat one or more foods (such as butter, or butter and sugar in cake-making) with a spoon or fork, until soft and fluffy.
Tiny cubes of bread, fried until golden brown and crisp and used as a garnish for soups and other dishes.
A method of lightly combining beaten egg whites or whipped cream with another mixture so that the air cells are not broken down. Literally folding in the egg whites or cream with a downward cutting motion of the spoon, rather than stirring.
To cook in a small mount of fat or oil in an open pan. Deep frying is to immerse food in sufficient hot fat or oil to cover it.
Coated with a thin sugar syrup or glaze.
To cook food quickly, under rather than over a flame. This method is only suitable for fresh fish and the more tender cuts of meat and poultry.
A method of pressing, folding and stretching a dough with the hands, mainly applicable to yeast doughs and the making of bread.
A mixture of oil, lemon juice, vinegar or wine with seasonings and herbs in which meat or fish may be soaked before cooking, both to make it more tender and to improve its flavour.
To cook food by putting it into sufficient hot liquid to cover. The liquid must be kept below boiling point.
The method of cooking by steam in a specially constructed saucepan, at very high temperatures so that foods are cooked much more rapidly. Very useful for such long processes as making stock for soup, or the bottling of fruits and vegetables. Also tenderizes cheaper cuts of meat for stews and casseroles.
Reducing one or a combination of cooked foods to a smooth pulp by putting them through a sieve.
To cook meat, poultry or vegetables with a little fat in either a covered or uncovered pan in the oven.
Melted butter or fat combined with an equal amount of flour and used as a basis for thickening sauces, soups or gravies.
To cook small pieces of meat and vegetables very gently in a little butter or fat until they are tender but not browned or crisp.
To heat a liquid such as milk to a temperature jut below boiling point.
To cook a liquid, or a food immersed in a liquid which is kept just below boiling point. A similar process to poaching, except it applies to longer periods of cooking ie a soup or stew is kept simmering or gently bubbling during the cooking process, without ever being brought to a full boil.
To cook in the steam from boiling liquid. This may be done in a steamer, which is a closed sieved container placed over boiling water. Or the food may be placed in a basin which is then put into but not covered by boiling water in a closed pot.
The process of cooking food slowly in enough liquid to cover in closed pot until tender.

It's well known that its harder than ever to complete a live phone call survey, and takes an increasing amount of time and money to query a requisite number of cell phone users in the ultimate sample. And with the preponderance of IVR robo-polls and 'internet polls' littering the political reporting landscape in state races, the validity of media-sponsored polling is at an all time low. In close races, the only dependable surveys are those generated by the campaigns themselves.
Here's a perfect example of a dubious survey: a new "Super Poll" conducted by Georgia-based automated pollster InsiderAdvantage for Fox affiliates and regional newspapers throughout the state. The so-called "SuperPoll" is a mixed-mode survey that combines InsiderAdvantage's use of IVR technology and registration-based sampling with Internet interviews conducted by the firm OpinionSavvy.
The automated-phone-plus-Internet methodology — in addition to the moniker "SuperPoll" — was dissed among pollsters and other commentators on social media, according to POLITICO reporting. The methodology statement included by InsiderAdvantage and Opinionsavvy confusing.
InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery told POLITICO that his firm, which has for years conducted automated-phone polls, was moving to incorporate Web surveys to reach younger voters who don't have landline phones. A phone message with Opinion Savvy was not returned, and an employee who answered at its Twitter account and provided an email address did not write back to a question seeking clarification regarding the sampling method.
That says all you need to know how bad the polling industrial complex has become.

A short history of an increasingly crucial mode of labor in the American and global economies. What is the service worker? How does she relate to other categories of work: the industrial worker, the professional, the clerk, the careworker, the craftsperson, the entrepreneur? How does he relate to notions of class: the working class or middle class? In treating the service worker as both a figure in labor and cultural history, this project makes an intervention in how we understand American social history as a whole and how we might consider work and labor in relationship to issues of gender, race, ethnicity, region, age, and contemporary politics.


We were notified towards the middle of the month that the second cylinder was about to be cast so hopefully, after stress relieving, that should be on its way to Willition before too long.
The tyres for the driving wheels have arrived from South Africa and at Buckfastleigh the wheels are being prepared for the tyres to be fitted. The keys are all fitted between wheel centres and axles. At Bridgnorth our own team are busy machining axleboxes. The outer faces have been machined on the horizontal borer and the slow job of machining the inside surfaces on the slotter is underway. The keeps are also being machined.
The spring brackets have all been drilled, reamed and prepared for riveting. We have asked the SVR to produce the cold turned rivets in the CNC machine. This should be a quicker process than making them individually in the centre lathe.
The radial arms for the pony trucks have arrived from Sheffield. However more funding is required before serious progress can be made with construction of the pony trucks.
The first phase of the Boiler Appeal is due to be launched imminently in the forthcoming issue of SVR News. Please keep your fingers crossed for the best possible response from the SVR membership. The appeal will be staged throughout this year as we spread the net wider to draw in new support (we hope) from outside our home Railway. The appeal has got off to a very good start, even in advance of its official launch. At the same time, we need to continue to raise funds for other major items, notably the pony assemblies and the motion, so there is no room for complacency even as success beckons more and more confidently!
Just a reminder that this is on Saturday 5th April at 2.00 p.m. at Kidderminster Railway Museum. All are cordially welcome - you don't have to be a member to come along - and we will, as ever, be very pleased to consider all positive contributions.

As part of their 40th anniversary, the Modern Jazz Quartet welcomed ten guest artists to their Celebration CD: Bobby McFerrin (brilliant on "Billie's Bounce"), Take 6, Phil Woods, Wynton Marsalis (who gets to show off his technique on "Cherokee"), Illinois Jacquet, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Branford Marsalis, Jimmy Heath, Freddie Hubbard and Nino Tempo. As usual, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and pianist John Lewis also have plenty of solo space, and bassist Percy Heath is perfect in support. Since drummer Connie Kay was ailing in 1992 (but back in action the following year), Mickey Roker fills in on seven of the 13 selections. With the exception of "Django" (which features Phil Woods), and "Bags' Groove," the music sticks to bop standards rather than MJQ standbys. It's an enjoyable and varied set.

"The Mystery of Suicide" (Tim Miller, The Bulwark)
January 24, 2023 January 25, 2023 / plstepp
Timothy Miller, writing about deep depression & suicide, reflecting on the suicide of his friend, journalist Blake Hounshell.
Some people wear the love of their kids on their sleeves, and Blake was one of those people. Last June I was delighted and rather floored when he came to cover my book eventwith his kids in tow. This is not really the M.O. in D.C., a town where careerism enabled by professional childcare is the norm. I can count with the fingers on one, maybe two hands the number of times a male colleague has brought his kid to a "grown-up" political event. When it's happened, it has always made me appreciate them more. They must be one of the good ones, I've thought to myself—the softies with those dadly virtues.
At the party in June, our kids glommed onto each other and played, running amid the slacks and skirts, commandeering the front lawn. The next day during a lunch interview, Blake was giddy as he gave me the play-by-play of their interactions that I missed while kibitzing inside. Olivia Nuzzi recountedBlake smiling that day as he encountered his kids in the kitchen, eating ice cream at the counter.
This wasn't a one-off. His neighbor, Aaron Kissel, said Blake just "beamed" watching his kids. "The honest joy he had as a father was infectious, beautiful and inspiring. Blake, in those moments, was fatherhood as it is meant to be," he wrote. This fatherly instinct extended to other kids. My friend C.J. recalled that he never failed to ask about his own son. Another colleague said Blake was "especially kind to the children he interacted with, always willing to trade quips."
In processing Blake's death, I went to his various social media feeds to try to spark more memories, and I was reminded that he was the kind of dad who would recount the precocious, silly, anodyne musings of his kids on Facebook without any contrivance or performative BS.
February 6th: Astrid: "Daddy, I don't think I can clean my room today. I bumped my head on the sink and cleaning my room would make it feel worse."
December 14th: Astrid: "I wish people had six fingers."
March 22nd: Astrid: "My worst enemies are mosquitoes. And also leprechauns."
November 3rd: Astrid: "How do you spell, 'David can you please stop bothering me?'"
October 2nd: David to Astrid: "Do you like this picture I drew? It's Gandhi."
Astrid: "Not really."
His posts go on like that, sharing his childrens' bon mots and wisdom every few weeks, year after year, delighting Blake and, at times, his friends—but let's be honest, mostly Blake.
Reflecting on this part of his life is what most makes me wish I could hug him, and it's also what most makes me want to scream. Because if all you know about depression is the manageable atypical kind or the weatherable situational kind, then it just makes no goddamn sense that someone who loved their kids that fully, that openly, could do something like this to them.
It might seem ill-mannered to say it so plainly, to them, but how can we achieve anything remotely close to understanding or learn how we might help others dealing with the same trauma without staring straight at the reality of it all? Without accepting that others in our lives, people who also seem to have so much tenderness to give, might be suffering in the same fashion?
His kids—those beautiful, beloved little creatures with everything in front of them, every milestone—are now going to journey through life without him. What type of pain could lead a man to accept that?
In On Suicide, Enlightenment philosopher David Hume wrote that "no man ever threw away life while it was worth keeping."
I fucking hate that sentence so much that I want to spit it out. It offends my every sensibility. It is an affront to Blake and to every person who had so much worth keeping. And it is an affront to the only things I am certain are true about the world: that life is precious and the future is unknowable.
But in the course of Hume's rhetorical assault on a belief in life's fundamental sanctity, he shows a subtler understanding of the suicidal mindset, one that I revisited as I tried to comprehend how Blake and others with such promise can be driven to such an act:
"Anyone who, without apparent reason, has had recourse to [suicide], was cursed with such an incurable depravity or gloominess of temper as must poison all enjoyment, and render him equally miserable as if he had been loaded with the most grievous misfortune." (Emphasis mine.)
"Equally miserable as if he had been loaded with the most grievous misfortune" is a notion that pulls suicidal depression down from that unknowable, incomprehensible plane and puts it back into our continuum. While it may still be different in kind or cause from more familiar kinds of depression, it gives rise to a mindset that is not actually all that different from that of a person whose depression was thrust upon them by tragedy, because as far as the afflicted is concerned, they are experiencing tragedy. Put another way, suicidal depression tricks the mind into thinking that the type of pain caused by their death already exists in life. Or as David Foster Wallace wrote of people who leapt to their deaths from the burning World Trade Center towers: "When the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors."
That's the kind of torment you wouldn't wish on anyone, least of all someone with a heart like Blake's. It's devastating to think he and so many others are experiencing something like that away from the rest of our field of vision. He will be sorely missed.

We went to see the Chihuly exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts today. It is amazing. I really appreciate his work and his policy allowing educational and non-commercial photography of his work. Please enjoy this mini-tour as captured by my camera. The pictures show the colors and some of the glory of the work but they are no substitute for seeing them in person. The descriptions are from the text presented with each display at the VMFA. I hope my photos inspire you to make the trip to Richmond to experience it in person. Better hurry through the show ends February 10, 2013.
All the photographs were taken with a Canon 5D Mark II with either a 35mm prime lens or a 100mm macro lens.
FIORI AND FLOAT BOATS - They would get in their boats and go down and collect the glass—it looked so stunning in the rowboat—that was a whole new idea for me, and it's one that I still use today.
This installation includes two of Chihuly's wooden rowboats, one filled with Fiori elements and another with Niijima Floats. The Fiori Boat features various garden glass shapes and forms inspired by Chihuly's love of gardens and conservatories. Niijima Floats were inspired by the artist's trip to the Japanese island of Niijima and by childhood memories of discovering Japanese fishing net floats along the beaches of Puget Sound. Chihuly first filled boats with his glass pieces in Nuutajärvi, Finland, during the Chihuly Over Venice project in June 1995. Wondering if the glass would float, Chihuly began tossing works into the river and let them float downstream. Local teenagers in small, wooden rowboats gathered them up.
PERSIAN CEILING - The Persians—that's one of the most difficult series to describe. It started off that they were geometric shapes, I think—it was a search for new forms. It was so interesting, what came out of it—we worked for a year only on doing experimental Persians—so I got to pick and choose from these parts and develop a new series. It has changed in many ways over the years.
Chihuly began the Persians series in 1986 while experimenting with new forms. Originally, he displayed Persians in pedestal compositions, often with smaller shapes nested in larger pieces. The first Persian Ceiling was presented in his 1992 exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum. Lit from above and resting on a flat glass pane, the elements of the Persian Ceiling come together to provide an immersive experience in color and shape. There are over a thousand Persian pieces in this installation.
Chihuly chose the name for this series after asking his friend, artist Italo Scanga, for the Italian word for "spotted" or "stained." Initially quite small, the Macchia grew in size and, like earlier works, were amassed into groupings or "families." The Macchia here are installed together on pedestals in a group called a Macchia Forest.
This is a detail of a very small part of the piece called LAGUNA TORCELLO.
Installations of Reeds, or Spears as they were first named, began when Chihuly was working in Finland in 1995. The first time Chihuly combined Reeds and logs was for an installation at the Marlborough Gallery in New York. Since then, he has continued to create these works in various colors, installing the series both outdoors and indoors.
Chihuly's work is absolutely beautiful and your photos really show this! Great work David!
OMG! I feel as though I have been doused in a cool waterfall of color. This elevates the mood like no other!

Superbus prototype aims to save us from boring public transport [video]
Superbus prototype aims to save us from boring public transport [video] product 2011-04-11 17:50:27 https://www.motor1.com/news/26411/superbus-prototype-aims-to-save-us-from-boring-public-transport-video/ Supercars, superbus
Apr 11, 2011 at 1:50pm
Public transport is about to get a lot more exciting as the Superbus concept has been unveiled at the UITP Mobility and City Transport Expo in Dubai.
Developed by the Netherland's Delft University of Technology, the fully-functioning prototype measures 15,000 mm (49.21 ft) long, 2,550 mm (8.20 ft) wide and 1,650 mm (5.41 ft) tall. It features an aerodynamic body with sixteen gullwing doors and the ability to carry 23 passengers and a driver.
Tipping the scales at 9,500 kg (21,000 lbs) fully loaded, the bus is motivated by a lithium-ion battery which sends power to an electric motor that has a peak output of 600 kW (805 hp / 816 PS). This enables the prototype to hit a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) and travel up to 210 km (130 miles) on a single charge.
If everything goes according to plan, the Superbus could be hitting the streets of Dubai as early as 2015.
