Personal Experience Leads to Work for Educational Equity for Dreamers at Marquette University
BY KELLY SWAN | September 6, 2017
Growing up as a son of immigrants in a segregated, vulnerable community in Milwaukee, Eduardo Perea-Hernandez saw Marquette University as a "Harvard"—picturesque, prestigious, with a nationally-renowned basketball team.
"As a Latino child, you don't see anyone of your kind at these institutions," remembers Perea-Hernandez. "But if you do see one or two from your neighborhood attend college at Marquette you think—'I'm going to do that too.'"
[Marquette University]
"I grew up in the south side of Milwaukee, the Latino section of town, where drugs, prostitution, and shootings were a norm, education levels are low, and teen pregnancy is high," shares Perea-Hernandez. "However, the Latino community is very rich in culture and intellect…. There is so much talent inside of every individual in the community, they just need the guidance of a school like Nativity to help them realize their potential."
He attended Nativity Jesuit Middle School, where, as a sixth grader, he learned Jesuit values, leadership skills, and the powerful idea that he could contribute to his community. "As an 11-year-old," he shares, "I realized that my Latino community is meant for bigger than this."
I realized that my Latino community is meant for bigger than this.
Nativity, a school whose mission is to educate Latino youth for Christian leadership and service, changed the trajectory of Perea-Hernandez's life, exposing him "to the solution to many problems a young Latino kid from the 'hood faces." Rather than an authoritarian school structure, Perea-Hernandez explains that he was given "the educational tools that allowed me to think thoroughly about my decisions to make the good ones, and when I chose wrongly I learned to recover from it. Nativity taught me how to be a leader in my household, community, and city."
[Nativity Jesuit Middle School]
After middle school, Perea-Hernandez entered Marquette University High School, an all-boys school enrolling a very different demographic from Nativity. Many of his classmates were entirely unaware of the realities of immigration. "I became more and more vocal throughout high school," he remembers. "I wanted to give them facts about why people migrate."
Eduardo Perea-Hernandez is now a first-generation college attendee, a senior fulfilling his dream of enrolling at Marquette University. Nonetheless, he expresses some frustration with his campus culture. "I thought students would be more socially aware," he explains. "But it is much like high school," with few students of color or immigrants, primarily from suburban Jesuit high schools.
However, the university has given him a safe space and support to raise awareness surrounding issues that administrators and non-minority students do not experience—struggles familiar to students of color and undocumented and other immigrant students.
Eva Martinez Powless is director of Intercultural Engagement at Marquette University. Her work is to give voice to students like Perea-Hernandez. Martinez Powless immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico, and through her work is uniquely situated to provide support to the entire campus multicultural community. She is the founder of the school's undocumented student taskforce and runs a group for Dreamer students at Marquette.
In 2016, a group of students from Youth Empowered to Succeed (YES) program at Marquette were seeking to explore ways to improve the campus experience for undocumented students. Through connections in the immigration advocacy community, Martinez Powless was aware of a gala to benefit Dreamer students in Chicago. She proposed the idea to the student group, who were immediately enthusiastic about the idea.
The first Dreamers' Gala was held at the University in March of 2016, entirely student-initiated and student-led, benefitting the new Ignacio Ellacuria Dreamers Scholarship. The gala raised $28,000 in just the first year with 180 attendees.
Martinez Powless notes that the gala was able to create a unique alumni affinity group of multicultural alumni who may not have typically donated to the university, as well as significant support in the Milwaukee community.
The Ignacio Ellacuria, S.J., Dreamers Scholarship Gala is a student-led initiative that aims to raise money to create a scholarship for undocumented students who wish to attend Marquette University.
Perea-Hernandez has seen undocumented friends from his home neighborhood in Milwaukee struggle to fund a college education, with the lack of availability of federal grants and loans for undocumented students. As a college freshman, he learned of the gala initiative, which older students had already put in motion, talking to university administrators and gaining campus support.
"We have had a very diverse group working on this." He explains that student support of the scholarship has extended beyond the Hispanic community, as it is available to undocumented students of any background. "We are working together to make this happen; this is a product of the minority community coming together."
The group's goal was to raise $50,000 over the course of a handful of years to fully endow the scholarship for long-term sustainability.

During his winter break freshman year, Perea-Hernandez became involved in gala planning, translating promotional materials, creating introductory packets, and reaching out to local, state, and national individuals and groups for support—diving into grassroots mobilization and fundraising with fellow students. He eventually joined the organizing committee in rallying local media attention, recruiting student talent for a gala performance, and engaging student artists from other Milwaukee schools.
Lupe Serna, a sophomore in the College of Education, showcases her artwork as a representation of the obstacles encountered by undocumented students in higher education.
Perea-Hernandez was also uniquely positioned to gain support from the local Hispanic community, being one of the few organizers originally from Milwaukee. His approach pulled from his Jesuit values and social justice vision, and liberation theology. "We've learned that we can count on our own community support, our own people," he explains. "The community rallies around this project to help students in Milwaukee with hopes and dreams of going to Marquette some day."
Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Xavier Cole, shows his support for the Ignacio Ellacuria, S.J., Dreamers Scholarship with other community members.
The second gala was held in March of 2017, drawing more than 220 attendees and raising more than $30,000, allowing for the scholarship to be fully endowed in less than two years. Scholarships are small as the program grows, offering $1,000 and $2,000 annual scholarships, but Martinez Powless anticipates rapid expansion of the program in coming years. Qualifications are simple—applicants must be undocumented, demonstrate financial need, be academically high-achieving with leadership experience, and must submit an essay about how the scholarship would enhance their life.
This program sends a message of hope—as a #Jesuit university we support #undocumented students.
She is excited about the growing involvement of the Milwaukee community in gala and fundraising efforts, including business owners, immigration lawyers, and others. "This program sends a message of hope to undocumented students—that as a Jesuit university we support undocumented students."

In addition to Marquette administrators' support of the scholarship, efforts of Martinez Powless' programs and work from students on campus also led to a statement in support of undocumented students from Provost Dr. Daniel J. Myers and Dr. Xavier Cole, Vice President for Student Affairs.
Perea-Hernandez is equally optimistic. "Right now, it seems like we're going in the right direction," he shares. "We will continue to hold our campus and administrators accountable to Jesuit values. Equally, undocumented students have to continue to have space to tell their stories to get things done. Exposing yourself is scary, but it makes an impact—sharing these stories makes everything more relevant, more human."

Yes you will need to upload the 2000/2830 version. The version that you have uploaded is not large enough for the requirements of the challenge.
could you please tell how long the server maintenance will take?
Leigh says not to worry about it- they're aware of the problem and will tell people when the servers are back up. Go make yourself another cup of coffee or-even better!- start planning your next picture!
The server issues should be fingers crossed all resolved now. You should be able to submit your final images without any problems.
[color=Yellow]Hi Thankss for your replay.
I downloaded the upload program and re-updated my java (I had uninstalled it recently because the new version made my website program a "read only".
The upload program comes up but I cannot access the user name etc and under category I get a long involved link that mentions "maintenance" toward the end of it.
Are we still in a "maintenance mode" on the uploader?
I am always good for going for another cup of coffee. Just wanted to know if I was in the right ball park.
If there are any issues with this uploading and Vista let me know and I can do this on the XP computer.
Any word yet on how to correct?
Anybody know why I'm getting the "CGSociety servers are down for maintenance" page when I try to hit the Submit Entry login page to put up my latest update?
It's been like that for me since last night. I'm a bit annoyed. I'm in Los Angeles CA USA.
Ok. Apologies everyone. It seems it wasn't as fixed as I thought. Please be patient and we'll try and have it back up an running as soon as possible.
Let's wait and be patient for the upload. At least we are not alone, we know there are more people out there with the same problem.
I'm sure they'll fix it. Good luck.
And thank you Timothy for your effort!
nwiz25: this is the info.
9. Thumbnail Image File : If you wish you may upload an 80x80px jpeg to be used as a thumbnail for your entry, otherwise this will be created from your image file. The thumbnail file must not be larger than 16 kilobytes.
khendar: Thank you…Don't worry, Take your time :arteest: that's great for us!..
So, I just need to know - is the deadline for the Image today 10 th or tomorrow? Non of the challenge info is available atm.
Will I be able to still upload images after the contest is over? OR will I have to use an external image host to upload images? I want to finish the piece when I get the time.
Gunie, I know for sure that the deadline for the image is the 12 th , not sure about the time zone, but we clearly have today to paint away:wise: …but I would also like to have this cleared by the staff…and because we are not even able to update the threads and get the feedback it would be very very nice to move the backline at least for the days we've lost with the server problems…and it would also be very very nice to get the informations asap!

The Astor, which opened in 1923, sat around 725. It was closed in 1956, but was used sporadically into the 60s. During its last years, it was run by Detroit Consolidated Theatres. The theater has long ago been razed. Cinema Treasures Link.


This past month the United States approved the 'unlimited' selling of F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan, disregarding the complaints of India. Also during this past month the United States chastised the European Union for planning the reopening of the arms trade with China.
The hypocrisy of the United States in its arms trade is outstanding; it is detrimental for global security (the United States' security in particular) if China, a communist-based dictatorship, receives weapons from the Europeans but the United States believes it is quite all right for the theocratic dictatorship that is Pakistan to buy weapons that could endanger India and the security in Southeast Asia.
The United States' alienation of the relatively stable Indian ally, the largest democracy in the world, for a fair-weather friend such as Pakistan doesn't logically make sense.
Pakistan aided us after Sept. 11 with the use of its airbases to strike Afghanistan after the United States paid to use them; it wasn't a gift, but a trade agreement in which both parties gained. Pakistan is a pragmatic ally at best. This greater logic of the arms trade is based on financial gain.
The selling of $1.2 billion in F-16 fighters (it costs the United States about $18.8 million to buy the jets) and spy aircrafts that the United States proposed in November does sound fiscally logical. The war on terror has stretched the United States' financial resources tight and, as a consequence, we have to sell weapons to those who are possibly a threat to global security and the three wars between India and Pakistan (typically over the Kashmir territory) definitely suggests that Pakistan has the potential to threaten India.
The Pakistanis depend largely on United States military export goods and purchased F-16s in the 1980's. The United States and Pakistan were to trade even more F-16s in the 1990s but the U.S. military decided to punish the country for its nuclear ambition by sanctioning all spare parts and military goods, and this led to a severe weakening of the Pakistani air force.
The sanctions were pulled even tighter in 1998 during Pakistan's involvement in nuclear testing. After Sept. 11, the sanctions were raised to reward Pakistan and its more active roll against terrorism.
The United States' actions can be interpreted as a catalyst for an arms race between Pakistan and India but Karamat argued that Pakistan simply needs to be able to defend itself and that Pakistan's primary goal is not to deter war but to be prepared if war does occur. He explained that India has a larger and more sophisticated military and is not trying to compete.
However nice this sounds, I don't believe it will be viewed that way by India. It is not more sophisticated; according to Karamat and the New York Times, India has purchased most of its military goods from the Eastern Bloc and France, which on the whole are inferior to American military goods.
How should India respond to its next-door neighbor bringing increasingly better and more military goods into the neighborhood?
It will most likely try to match and possibly to exceed Pakistan to maintain the balance of power, no matter how skewed it may be in India's favor. India has the power of 1.3 billion people but Pakistan wants the power of technology.
The proper United States foreign relations should involve no arms deals to either country so as to maintain the balance of power as it is.
There should be no trading of nuclear-capable F-16s to Pakistan and patting India on the back and wishing them good luck with their burned-out and archaic air force of French and Russian rejects.
The United States was outraged by the Europeans selling weapons to the Chinese, so in return it decided to outrage the Indians with the same arms deal agenda: make money.
In summary, don't aggravate the balance of power by trading arms that can most definitely change the dynamics of a battle by permitting easier nuclear-weapon usage and inciting an arms race between two rival countries and claiming you are aiding Southeast Asia's stability and security.

Nico Hulkenberg has refused to confirm or deny rumours that he's off to Sauber next season.
With Sauber losing Sergio Perez to McLaren, reports emerged linking Hulkenberg to the Mexican's race-seat.
These were later amended to claim that a contract has in fact been signed and that the German would definitely be leaving Force India for Sauber.
Hulkenberg, though, isn't saying whether those reports are correct.
"I know there is lots of talk about my future, but at this point I don't want to comment on the speculation," he said during Thursday's press conference at the Buddh International circuit.
"I want to focus on this weekend, which is the most important thing."
Pressed as to whether his future was 'settled', the German said: "No comment."

Journey to Stonehenge Perceptions, conceptualisation with regard to cultural behaviour and the built environment
SO far, we have been undertaking the journey to Stonehenge for a period of just over 58 weeks. It has been a learning journey with serious implications for African Thought and Worldview. It became apparent that in terms of Cosmology, there are discernible similarities between Stonehenge in terms of several themes.
Included among them are the following: solidity and eternity, wood and transience, architecture, decorative motifs, spirituality, expressions of Duality of Being, the role of sound and water in the world of spirits, connection between burials and spirits, and the links between spirits and eternity.
Technology available during research at Stonehenge yielded several finds whose interpretation revealed connectedness between the African worldview and spirituality on the one hand and the resident ordering philosophy at Stonehenge.
A thorough scrutiny of Stonehenge focused the spotlight on themes also found among the African phenomena. In the end, Africa benefits from the research that went and still goes on at Stonehenge.
Materiality is a theme that is common to Stonehenge and African Thought. Essentially, it was not a fruitless journey, but one that shall illuminate our next journey, the Journey to KoBulawayo.
In recent articles, we have been focusing in the main on spiritual individuals who would have provided leadership during rituals and ceremonies at Stonehenge. Such individuals were closely related to the political authority for whom they provided political, spiritual and metaphysical guidance, divination services to foresee and foretell the future to ward off impending doom.
These spiritually gifted individuals monitored celestial movements. The same persons would have facilitated political loyalty. We glean much on this front from Africa where political authority worked closely with spiritual authority.
There is still cooperation between the two albeit under different conditions where the latter are relegated and confined to the private and secretive domain.
We have been identifying given evidence that may point to these spiritual persons based on their thought and worldview but also on the cultural practices informed by their professed worldview.
The cultural practices cannot be facilitated in the absence of material items, such as vessels to contain medicinal concoctions that are used.
Water was contained in a perfectly circular ditch that went round the circumference of concentric circles of standing/erect/vertical stones.
Vessels testify to current technologies, preferred designs, known and appealing architecture and, in the final analysis, are in harmony with applicable worldview that informs architecture and design. The more important emitted smoke during smudging was believed to drive out evil spirits and thus cleansed the environment, in a spiritual sense.
Just how are we to know about the presence of these individuals who were spiritually endowed? Architecturally, Stonehenge is the central piece in terms of magnitude and majesty within a much bigger cultural landscape.
The centre of the centerpiece was marked off by the presence of the Altar Stone (in line with the Slaughter and Heel Stones during the summer solstice) nearest the biggest stone uprights (two) with horizontal lintels (trilithons). We can thus surmise that in spiritual terms, exemplified by the biggest stones structurally adapted from closed tombs of the time, the trilithons were modified tombs.
Tombs, for a people of the time and their beliefs, equated with spirits, spirituality and Spiritism.
Spiritually endowed persons would have played a key role in the rituals where they ensured secrecy to protect their profession and social status within society.
An altar was the holy of holies, the most sacred part in the entire monument where access was limited to specialists. From the structural arrangements we are able to pin down the presence of spiritual individuals be they have been priests or Celtic Druids.
The ancients back then held beliefs that resulted in the use of grave goods. Tombs of the dead depicted the socio-political status of buried individuals. Tools of one's trade were placed either on the grave or inside the grave, together with the corpse.
That way, we are able to decipher the beliefs of the communities, their material culture, and levels of technology, cuisine, their artistic traditions, fashion and a lot more.
In two articles we referred to the presence of an urn (for fumigation/smudging) and the wild boar tusk to arrive at some tentative position that there were indeed individuals at the Stonehenge site whose beliefs and hence cultural practices were akin to those of soothsayers, traditional doctors, healers, izinyanga, izanuse, shamans and others that still exist on the African continent.
Identification of isolated finds on a given site may not be conclusive evidence for the trade being plied at the site. There are many material items that are shared in common by specialist spiritual individuals and the majority who are not associated with spirit-based occupations and trades.
When the items are located at one place, particularly on a grave, can we hazard conclusion of the trade of the buried individual. Here is an example of the grave goods found at a single gravesite within the Stonehenge cultural landscape.
The grave contained more than 100 grave goods including five beakers (clay pots of a particular design), a dozen bandied and tanged arrowheads, three copper daggers, a wild boar tusk, a small stone anvil, two gold earrings and more than two wrist guards. Are you able to deduce the trade of the man buried therein?
As I began interrogating these issues, I could not help posing the question, "How far is Heaven from Earth?" Grave goods were pointers to an individual's trade in his/her earthly life. At the same time, some grave goods were included as provisions for the journey to another place, one for the departed spirits.
African Cosmology posits a situation where such a question need not be posed, as it will not make sense. In African Cosmology the physical, the material, the psychological, the spiritual and the ancestral worlds are inherently connected.
To us earthly humans, distance is couched and conceptualised in terms of time and space, yet these may not be applicable in other realms beyond the material. We are used to movement from point A to Point B. Our minds and language are developed and suited to material aspects.
We struggle without much by way of success to coin a language suited to realms beyond the material and the physical. In a physical journey, there might be need for provisions, just as we do when we travel from one place to another.
Grave goods ought to be conceptualised that way. African Cosmology is thus about how Africans perceive, conceive and conceptualise their universe. It is the cultural lens through which they see reality that affects their value systems and attitudinal orientations.
It is the African's search for the meaning of life (Kanu, 2013).
Such theoretical grounding helps us appreciate how the African thinks and behaves within the universe, for we do as we believe. Is the individual more important than the group or is it the other way round? "We are, so I am," might be the way the African perceives sustainable and healthy social relationships and relatedness.
Shall it be the individual or the group that matters the more? It is important to appreciate that different communities and societies hold different cosmologies that were fashioned out over time by numerous factors such as interaction with and power relations with other communities, spirituality, perceptions regarding the cosmos, the nature and origins of humankind, and ideas relating to the destiny of humankind, inter alia.
However, in reality we are faced with the very arrogant and the self-centred who think their ways and worldview count the more and denigrate those of others because of perceived racial or ethnic superiority.
Usually, the God of Science is used as champion in despising and demeaning the ways of other people who do not worship the God of Science.
Next week we shall focus on more finds that were excavated at Stonehenge with a view to possibly linking them to the work of spiritual individuals who might have existed on England's most iconic cultural landscape.

Elcore Review – Legit Or Scam?
Recently, Elcore has been getting a lot of hype on the internet.
I have done all my research in this Elcore review do you can learn the honest truth and decide if it's right for you.
Is Elcore a scam? Is it legit?
Let me tell you in my Review Elcore.
On Elcore Invest's website, it's listed that the company's "head" is someone by the name of Adam Klyaynkhaysler.
Elcore Invest doesn't provide any additional info as to just who Adam is or what his purpose is as the "head" for the company, and I wasn't able to find any data on the person when looking outside of Elcore Invest's website either.
This is extremely suspicious, and it leads me to believe that Adam Klyaynkhaysler is nothing more than a name that's being used for marketing purposes and nothing more.
Elcore Invest's domain name (elcore-invest.com) was registered earlier this summer on June 9, but with the registration being private, it's impossible to tell who the owner of the domain is or where the registration physically took place.
What's also worth noting is that Elcore Invest says that it's registered in the Cayman Islands with its main office being located in Budapest, Hungary.
Despite these claims being made, the largest source of traffic for Elcore Invest's website comes from Russia at 47%.
Because of this and the lack of concrete info to back up the claims of Elcore Invest having a presence in Hungary, it's likely that the company is actually being run out of somewhere in Russia.
What Products Does Elcore Sell?
Typical of companies along these lines, Elcore Invest doesn't have any product line to speak of.
You won't find any goods or services being sold to retail customers, and this setup leaves affiliate with only the affiliate membership to offer to folks looking for a new income opportunity to join.
There's absolutely no chance for any retail sales activity to take place throughout Elcore Invest, and in the world of MLM, this is a huge red flag.
The main thing that Elcore Invest is advertising is its 1% ROI that's paid out on the daily.
Affiliates can access this ROI by investing between $30 and $10,000 into the company, and the ROI is paid for 365 days, Monday through Friday.
To supplement this money, Elcore Invest also allows its affiliates to earn on referral commissions.
Referral commissions are paid on funds that are invested by other affiliates throughout your downline, and the amount that you earn here is dependent on how much money you personally invest into Elcore Invest.
How Much To Join Elcore?
Interested in joining Elcore Invest?
Although the affiliate membership itself is free to join, you'll need to make an investment of at least $30 in order to start earning on the daily ROI and referral commissions.
Seriously, Is Elcore A Scam Or Is This Legit?
As I am sure you have heard with most business opportunities, there are a lot of scams on the internet, and Elcore might be a scam with them.
Having read the review above, you might be wondering if Elcore is legit or completely a scam.
Is Elcore a scam, or can you make a proper business with it?
Honestly, Elcore isn't a complete scam, but there are definitely some things to be aware of (see the conclusion section).
Here's My Elcore Final Thoughts!
Lots of MLM entities like to claim that they're using cryptocurrency trading and mining as a way to generate income for ROIs and commissions, but without any proof to back these claims up, they mean nothing.
As you might already be able to guess, Elcore Invest is one of the companies that doesn't provide any proof to back up what's being said here.
The only money coming into the company comes from affiliate investments, and this means that newly invested funds are being recycled to pay ROIs owed to existing members.
With this activity taking place, Elcore Invest is a Ponzi scheme.
Once investment and recruitment activity inevitably die down, Elcore Invest will have nowhere to turn to.
The company's anonymous admin will make off with the majority of the cash that's been invested, whereas all other affiliates will be left to lose out.
There's a small chance that early adopters will be able to come out on top, but for most people that get involved, they won't have a chance at earning a single penny.
Hopefully, you have enjoyed this Elcore Review.
I wanted to give you this in-depth review because there have been plenty of other Elcore reviews that don't really give all the information you need.

Structure 5D-47 stands out due to its talud-tablero style of construction – a style that belongs at Teotihuacan, 1000 miles away…


Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) would have to be performed by the client to test a variety of functions of the radar system inside the radome. To perform CAE, they would need CAD data of the legacy part radome, which has never been modeled before for the MC-130E Talon I. The exact shape of the radome is critical for proper testing of the radar system inside, as only a couple inches separate the inside wall from the equipment.
Our team was contracted to scan a Fulton and Non-Fulton version of the radome and generate CAD data accurate to .01 inches at specific areas. Our engineers used the Konica Minolta Vivid 9i in conjunction with photogrammetry to generate scan data accurate to .002 inches. The high resolution scan data would be used to perform all the reverse engineering processes needed to generate CAD of the radome.
Using the Rapidform software suite, our team reverse engineered and modeled the radomes to within the accuracy tolerances. Rapidform allowed for the modeling of the critical surface features, such as the interior surface curvature and bolt hole locations, to be as accurate as possible while remaining curvature-continuous for aerodynamic and electromagnetic testing of the radar system.
The resulting CAD data from our team's reverse engineering was hugely successful for CAE performed by the client. Because CAD data did not exist for these radomes, and because our team's CAD models performed so well during testing, the client is interested in contracting our team to scan newer and much larger radomes in the future.

Finally got the phone call I have been waiting for from my Peace Corps recruiter and he gave me great news. He is going to nominate me for EASTERN EUROPE where I would be teaching English and my estimated leave date is June 2011. Needless to say, I was ecstatic and couldn't stop smiling for nearly an hour. Being nominated is not the end of the process by a long shot so before I go any further I'll review the application process for those that may not be familiar with it, or if you like you can skip the application process and proceed to the bolded paragraph at the end.
First step in the process is sending in the application, which might seem fairly easy, however, the document is about 10 web pages full of information that needs to be filled out. Some of it is easy and only requires you to fill in personal information, while some of the questions are more in depth seeking longer answers or more exhaustive lists, such as work history, volunteer experience, and skill experiences. The end of the application is two essays which are relatively tiny by college standards but provide the first and only real chance to put down into your own words why you want to join the Peace Corps and how you feel you are qualified.
After the application has been reviewed and accepted as complete you are scheduled for an interview. During the interview the recruiter tried to get to know me as best he could and made sure to inform me of the application process where I stood in the process and how I ranked as an applicant compared to others. Some of the basic questions that he asked were to name experiences I have had working in an unstructured environment, my experiences working with people who had differences from me and how I handled that situation, my preferences for my assignment, geographically and skill area. Lastly the questions were aimed to establish my suitability as a candidate from my personal life issues, such as relationship status, financial and legal obligations, and any food allergies or preferences.
Legal and medical review. The legal review is basically a background check and also a financial check ensuring that I do not have any outstanding warrants or the like, and neither am I trying to evade debt by applying to the Peace Corps. So for me this part of the process is virtually nonexistent. The medical review, however, is not nearly as easy, involving a thorough medical checkup with a large amount of paperwork to be signed and completed by my doctor and dentist insuring my present health before volunteer service. Any medical complications that come to light from the review will not necessarily disqualify me, just limit my options of where I would be placed to accommodate my specific disabilities. Luckily for me I dont expect any surprises so hopefully this step will be soon be just as forgotten as the legal review.
After enduring all of the hardship described above the only thing left is to agonizingly wait for the Peace Corps to send the official invitation. The invitation will be specific to the region within the country I will be serving, the exact date of departure, an in depth description of the job I will be asked to perform and various other necessary information to keep me well informed and to prepare thoroughly for staging, which is the last step before boarding the plane and occurs in an American city with other Peace Corps Volunteers who are assigned to the same country and allows for all of us to get to know each other before leaving our American culture behind to train for three months in the assigned country...but I'll describe all of that (fingers crossed) when I receive a formal invitation.
Ok. Now that that is out of the way, back to what I was saying, nominated for Eastern Europe sets me up for six possible countries: Albania, Moldova, Macedonia, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria. Even though there is always a possibility that the assignment I was nominated for might not be the one I am invited to, I am very excited. Mostly because Eastern Europe was my preference, English teaching was my preference and June 2011 was my preference. So basically, at the present moment, I have the best assignment I could have asked for and I am very excited.
Congrats! I'm nominated for TEFL in Eastern Europe too, departing this September though. Just so you know, there is this informal listing of departure dates on the PC wiki: http://www.peacecorpswiki.com/Timeline. According to that, the only country in EE you could be going to is Moldova. How exciting!
Good luck in this insane process.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I was researching Moldova all night last night. Moldova and Albania were tied for the two countries that I would most like to be assigned to so I was extremely excited to see it on the staging timeline for June.
Congrats for you as well and good luck in September, have you been officially invited to a country yet? Looks like Macedonia is being staged in September. The land of Alexander the Great. I wish you well.
Hey there! So I've been starting to get anxious over the last few days because I REALLY want to get my invitation soon... anyway I started doing research trying to find if other people with my nomination had heard yet and at some point came across your blog! I've also been nominated for Secondary English in Eastern Europe, June 2011. So I thought I'd just say hi. Oh and I'm Kerry. Have you heard anything further??

The Difficulty With Raising The Dead (Company)
Articles January 17, 2019
Government of B.C. Unable To Transfer Liability For Pollution to Dissolved Corporation
A recent case at the BC Supreme Court, British Columbia v. The Administrator of the Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund, demonstrates how difficult it is to make a successful legal claim against a company that was dissolved at the time the claim arose.
In the proceeding at issue, the B.C. government sought to restore a company to the provincial Register of Companies. The company had dissolved in January of 2014, at which time it had owned a large derelict vessel moored in B.C. waters, the Chilcotin Princess. When the company dissolved, title to the Chilcotin Princess automatically transferred to the B.C. government.
The B.C. government was not aware this had occurred, however, and assisted the Coast Guard in decommissioning the Chilcotin Princess in early 2015. As part of that process, Coast Guard employees first removed potential oil pollutants from the vessel, at a total cost of $137,680.88.
The Coast Guard later requested and received reimbursement for the $137,680.88 from the federal "Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund". The Fund reimburses parties for their clean-up costs for any oil pollution relating to ships, and then attempts to recover the costs from the ship owner, or any other responsible party.
In this case, the Fund sought recovery from the B.C. government under the federal Marine Liability Act, as the province had (unwittingly) become the owner of the Chilcotin Princess before the clean-up costs were incurred. The Province responded by (1) applying to restore the dissolved company that had previously owned the vessel, and (2) for that restoration to be "with prejudice" to the rights the Fund had acquired against the B.C. government in the interim. This would mean that the company, and not the B.C. government, was the owner of the Chilcotin Princess at the time the pollution was cleaned up.
The Court agreed that restoration of the dissolved company was appropriate. However, it also held that the revival should be without prejudice to the rights of the Fund, as to find otherwise would entirely defeat the Fund's claim against the B.C. government. It would also fall afoul of Parliament's intention, as expressed in the Marine Liability Act, to impose liability for pollution on any person that "has the rights of possession" of a ship. The province, as the owner of the Chilcotin Princess at the relevant time, remained strictly liable for the pollution-related costs the vessel created.
This decision highlights the difficulty of attempting to restore a dissolved company to assume liability, and the importance of considering which parties will be prejudiced by a restoration. While other recent court decisions in British Columbia have restored dissolved companies to permit claims against them to proceed, the process remains an uphill battle for a litigant.

Jonathan Garner, a Morgan Stanley strategist who called the bear market in China, says investors should snap up cheap shares after Beijing and Washington agreed to hit pause on their trade dispute, adding that there's "too much cynicism" about a potential agreement.

As per the deal, Konami's video game series eFootball's logo will appear on the back of the training kit for the men's and women's first teams as well as the youth squad, starting from the 2022/23 season. Also, the pre-match kit worn by the players during warm-up will also feature the brand logo.
The company will have the naming rights to the Inter Women and Youth Academy training site, which has been the club's pride and pleasure for a long time. The facility will be called the Konami Youth Development Centre in Memory of Giacinto Facchetti.
Furthermore, the collaboration extends into the realm of gaming, which is Konami's primary business and a field in which the Nerazzurri have been active for many years through Inter Esports. Konami will collaborate with the club on domestic and international esports projects that will be disclosed throughout the campaign.

Home Kitchen & DIY Recipes Buckeye Candy (a.k.a. Peanut Butter Balls) Recipe: Easy No-Bake Dessert!
I'm a sweet-tooth. I enjoy eating desserts and I wish I could make all those lovely sweet treats I see on Pinterest. But because I try to avoid anything that uses measuring cups and spoons and the oven, I always go for no-bake desserts a.k.a. desserts that you can make without worrying about messing it up. Thankfully, I've found another one that's suuppper easy to make – buckeyes or peanut butter balls.
In my previous posts, I've shared some no-bake desserts that are popular here in my country. You can check them out, here, here and this one! I've added another one to my collection of super easy desserts.
In the US, it's called Buckeyes because they resemble the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree. So yes, it's a popular treat in Ohio and nearby states. Buckeye candy is similar to peanut butter balls, only that the latter is completely covered in chocolate. .. Writing this post makes me crave for it.
I only knew about it when my boss posted a photo of it on Instagram. I thought they looked delicious — the idea of peanut butter dipped in chocolate is just mouth-watering. Not to mention, those are two ingredients that kids absolutely LOVE! I got excited about the idea of making peanut butter balls as a treat for my toddler. The awesome thing is that it requires ingredients that I can easily pick up from the nearest grocery.
Moving on, here's the recipe from Food Network.
For my version, I just omitted kosher salt. I had salted butter. I also didn't have vegetable shortening so I left that out. I didn't put vanilla extract because I forgot to! Lol. And as you can see, I used a Hershey's chocolate bar because I couldn't find chocolate chips in the grocery and I just wanted to make buckeyes pronto! It couldn't wait.
Make your peanut butter balls!
Take out your baking tray and line it with parchment or baking paper. Combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips and shortening) until peanut butter mixture is kneadable. Scoop out mounds and form them into balls. The size depends on your preference. Refrigerate the balls for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt those chocolate chips in the microwave. If not, you can use the hot water bath method.
Maybe they aren't perfect but you get the idea!
The easiest way to describe it is that it simply tasted like Barnuts or Hany! HAHAHA So now I know how to make it, I don't have to buy Barnuts or Hany in the supermarket! Yay!
Have you tried this recipe? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

World renowned conservationist, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and United Nations Messenger of Peace, will be featured on In-Flight Entertainment and will visit Delta this month as the airline's latest partner and one who understands the importance of protecting the world that we all share.
Dr. Goodall's partnership and passion complement the company's sustainability efforts, as it works to explore new opportunities to lower its environmental impact.
Highlights from Delta's ongoing work include:
Reducing carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050
Flying its first carbon-neutral flight over the summer
Capping carbon emissions at 2012 levels by purchasing offsets
Removing a variety of single-use plastic items from aircraft, amenity kits and Delta Sky Clubs
Donating and upcycling retired uniforms
Serving as an advocate for the planet and its species for almost 60 years, she has helped us understand the importance of Delta's sustainability strategy and the difference that we can make not only in the airline industry, but across the globe.
JANE Documentary on Delta Studio
Starting this month, customers will be able to find National Geographic's Emmy-winning documentary about her early career, JANE, onboard Delta Studio* through the end of the year.
Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage, the documentary shows how Jane's chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.
Dr. Goodall visits Delta Flight Museum
Dr. Goodall will be hosting a community event on Sept. 21, at the Delta Flight Museum.
Families around Atlanta are invited to a community event open to the public on Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required.
The Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots Celebration of Compassion, Action & Peace invites youth and their adult chaperones to hear a keynote by Dr. Goodall and guests.

After revealing the release schedule and the first set of handsome, classy teaser photos, KNK reveals two more teasers! This time around, the teasers are for the title track of GRAVITY, Completed, "Rain".
You Jin and Seung Jun star in the first two teasers, both of which feature the rain background and a classy sound. Seung Jun's teaser shows him out in the rain with a more 'jazz' feel, while You Jin is running through a building and eventually gets pulled into a room. Both clips end with the boys being dropped into the water.
UPDATE: KNK has released Ji Hun, In Seong, and Hee Jun's version of the "Rain" teasers.
In Hee Jun's trailer video, he can be seen crying in doors and out in the rain, rather frustrated with something. Ji Hun seems to be crying in a flooding room as he can't get the water to go down. In Seong plays piano in a wet tunnel before falling into the water.
UPDATE: The group has released a teaser video featuring all of the guys.
In this clip, the group is standing side by side under their individual umbrellas as rain pours down on them. They each look into the camera with no expression on their face while soft music, featuring horns, plays in the background.
