Northwestern University

Letter From the Dean: At the Intersection of Teaching and Research

Portrait of Dean Adrian RandolphAt Weinberg College, we cherish our role in advancing Northwestern’s undergraduate mission. We play a crucial part in shaping the University’s enrollment, admitting about half of the 8,000 students that comprise the undergraduate community. Moreover, all undergraduates at Northwestern, including those enrolled outside the College, take our classes and can even ––augment their studies by adding one of our 100 majors or minors. The College’s vibrant intellectual atmosphere influences every undergraduate at the University.

What may be less obvious is our impact on graduate education and research. Our faculty members advise about 1,400 graduate students annually, and our departments and programs oversee, in collaboration with The Graduate School, 25 PhD programs. In addition, our faculty members secure about $100 million annually in external funding, powering research across the sciences, social sciences and humanities. Our faculty also collaborate broadly with colleagues at Northwestern’s other schools and, notably, with many research centers and institutes. Such collaborations spread across the country and the globe.

The prowess of our faculty is widely recognized. We are proud of our 56 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and our many recipients of distinguished fellowships: Carnegie, Guggenheim and Mellon; our MacArthur “genius” awards; and, last year, a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Extraordinary things happen when undergraduate instruction takes place in the context of such breadth and ambition. Our intellectual community is replenished and refreshed by ideas tested in the competitive arenas of high-level research. Our model of instruction benefits from the inclusion of scholars who are dynamically shaping their disciplines and actively redefining the very frontiers of knowledge. Our community thrives on the creative energy that ignites when students and world-class researchers interact.

This is why I urge all our undergraduates to take advantage of the many research opportunities that come their way. Research is experiential learning in its purest, most powerful form, and helps to develop personal qualities such as curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.

We are committed to an educational model that joins research and teaching, for the good of our students, our faculty and the world.

Signature of Adrian Randolph

Advice for buyers

Used Seat Leon 2013 - present review

Used Seat Leon 13 - present
Review continues below...

What should I look for in a used Seat Leon hatchback?

On the whole, the Leon is a solid and sensible family car, usually bought by people who look after their cars well. Check the interior for signs of wear and tear and alloys for any kerb damage. On the more powerful models, especially the Cupra versions, check that the engine isn’t too noisy on start-up and that there is no blue smoke coming out of the exhaust.

Used Seat Leon 13 - present

What are the most common problems with a used Seat Leon hatchback?

Reported problems are few, especially in the engine, clutch and gearbox departments. A lot of the Leon's components are shared with other Volkswagen Group models, which makes them easy to get hold of and not too pricey. There are a few reports of water leaks and some minor electrical gremlins, but owners seem to be happy with the Leon’s build quality and the longevity of its parts.

There has only been one recall for the Leon so far, involving the rear child locks that might disengage on cars built between 25 November 2015 and 14 April 2016. Check with your Seat dealer if you think your car might be affected.

Is a used Seat Leon hatchback reliable?

According to our latest What Car? Reliability survey, the Leon has improved on its score since last year. Petrol versions finished in 4th place, with diesel models came 13th out of the 27 family cars included. Seat as a brand managed to finish in 10th out of the 31 manufacturers featured. That's an impressive showing.

If you would like to see the full reliability list for family cars, head to the What Car? Reliability Survey pages for more information.

Zack and Sonia have spent the night on the roof of The Bean and decide to tell Simone and Louis they’re together. Zack has an ultimatum for his parents but they fear giving Zack what he wants will push Lisa away. They’re relieved when Lisa arrives for a family dinner – until Jesse turns up too and Lisa pulls him into her bedroom!

With Kim still non-responsive in hospital, Esther’s angry when Grace admits she told Kim about their plan to move in together. Celine tries to get through to Kim with no luck, until she throws a cup of water in Kim’s face and she ‘suddenly’ comes to life – she’d been faking it.

Kim begs Celine to keep her secret, at least until she knows Esther isn’t going to move in with Grace. Esther, however, walks in on Kim and Celine conspiring and is heartbroken.

Also, Peri and Nico continue their campaign of bullying against Jade, blaming her for Tom going to London. Later, Peri tries to kiss Alfie but he rejects her.

TV Times top picks for tonight

What’s on telly tonight? Here the TV Times team of expert reviewers highlight the best shows on Sunday 15th July

Unforgotten, 9pm, ITV

Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar return as DCI Cassie Stuart and DI ‘Sunny’ Khan in a third series of the emotionally charged crime drama. When human remains are found on the central reservation of the M1 motorway, Cassie and Sunny are called to investigate. The body is soon identified as Hayley Reid, a 16-year-old who vanished on New Year’s Eve in 1999. Meanwhile, across the UK, we meet four childhood friends: local GP Dr Tim Finch (Alex Jennings), TV presenter James Hollis (Kevin McNally), struggling salesman Pete Carr (Neil Morrissey) and artist Chris Lowe (James Fleet). Do they know anything about Hayley’s death? Rating: ****

Poldark, 9pm, BBC1

Poldark fans love nothing more than a showdown between Ross and George, but so far this series Ross has kept his cool. This week, however, things finally come to a head when George maliciously forces the collapse of Pascoe’s bank, driving Ross to grab George by the scruff of the neck in front of Cornwall’s finest! The battle may be won by Ross – for now – but that’s only because George has more pressing issues to deal with… Rating: *****

Dunkirk: The Forgotten Heroes, 8pm, C4

The evacuation of Allied troops at Dunkirk during World War Two is regarded as one of the greatest moments in British history. Yet the soldiers of the 51st Highland Division weren’t even aware of it, as they had been posted to France’s Maginot Line, a wall of concrete fortifications miles away from Dunkirk. They then moved to the coastal town of St Valery, but were woefully underarmed and outmanoeuvred by Rommel’s men. Fog stopped the Navy’s flotilla rescuing them, and they finally surrendered on 12 June 1940. These forgotten heroes tell their heartbreaking stories of the hellish conditions. Rating: ****

More previews tomorrow.

5 Best Wine-Centric Caribbean Resorts

Here’s where the bottle selections are as seductive as the white-sand beaches.

Piña coladas and limed Carib beer may be perfect when soaking in the sun, but when it comes to dinner (and lunch and brunch), you need decent wine. Here’s where the bottle selections are as seductive as the white-sand beaches.

La Samanna, St. Martin

As if world-renowned service and gourmet restaurants weren’t enough, the global 50-page wine list—with more than 60 offerings of Champagne alone—will wow even the most jaded wine explorer. The selection also includes an impressive magnum list and Methuselahs (6-liter bottles) for those extra, extra large celebrations.

El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotel by Karisma, Playa Del Carmen

Located on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, the resort has partnered with California’s Jackson Family Wines to create a true gourmet-inclusive experience, the Culinary Series by Karisma. In addition to the standard beer, wine and Tequila list, wine lovers can participate in beautifully presented cooking demonstrations with guest chefs and wine tastings.

Jade Mountain, St. Lucia

This luxury tree house for adults perched above one of Saint Lucia’s most beautiful beaches and offers stunning views of the island’s mountains. It's main restaurant, Jade Mountain Club, has a menu built by James Beard Award Chef Allen Susser and and hands down one of the most eclectic wine lists in the islands.

Eden Rock Hotel, St. Barts

More than 125 labels grace the wine list at the resort's main restaurant, On The Rocks, with heavy hitters hailing from Bordeaux and Burgundy, as well as Italy, New Zealand, California and Spain. If 2013 has been good to you, make sure to splurge on a bottle or two of Châteaux Pétrus, Margaux or Cheval Blanc.

Nisbet Plantation, Nevis

Scores of wines—many of them affordable—make up the wine list in the three restaurants at this 30-acre resort. In addition, 36 rooms and cottages, perfectly manicured green lawns and a highly rated spa make this an ideal destination for couples and families.

What Is the Perceived Stress Scale?

The number of caribou (reindeer) in the Arctic has declined by 56% since the 1990s; some herds have shrunk by 90%.  more...

December 16 ,  1944 :  The Battle of the Bulge began.  more...

The Perceived Stress Scale is a psychological test used to measure an individual's perception of stress in his life. The test has three versions all composed of similar questions to help determine the overall levels and triggers of stress in a person's life. The most commonly used version of the Perceived Stress Scale is a 10-question test that asks the individual to rate how often he felt or thought certain things in the past month. Other versions of the scale include four or 14 questions, though the 10-question scale is thought to be the most reliable.

Questions included in the Perceived Stress Scale test are worded simply and are easy to understand, making it a good choice to use with most people who are able to read at junior high level. The questions do not ask about specific events or stress triggers because the goal of the Perceived Stress Scale is to arrive at a score that will allow the test administrator to evaluate the general levels of daily stress in a person's life. Perceived Stress Scale questions ask the test taker to rate how often they felt a certain way or how often they were able to mentally handle irritations and frustrations. The choices for the perceived stress scale questions include never, almost never, sometimes, fairly often, and very often.

Scoring the Perceived Stress Scale requires a simple calculation where a number value is assigned to each possible choice a respondent could choose. The numbers for the possible responses coincide with how much that particular response correlates to stress for the question. For example, an answer of “never” would be assigned a score of four for the question “In the last month, how often have you felt confident about your ability to handle your personal problems?” The “never” response would be assigned a value of zero, however, for the question “In the last month, how often have you felt that things were going your way?”

By totaling the scores, researches, psychiatrists, and other health care providers can get a relative idea of how stressed the individual feels in his daily life. This can help with diagnosis of physical and mental problems, since high levels of stress can contribute to high blood pressure, heart problems, appetite changes, depression, and many other mental and physical conditions. If an individual is highly stressed, treatment may include therapy or relaxation techniques to help lower the perception of stress and allow the body and brain to heal.

When I hear the term perceived stress and the stress scale I think that maybe stress can be eliminated simply by changing the way you think about your life. I wish getting away from stress really were this easy to do.

Post 2

Without doubt, the area of my life that has the potential to cause me the most stress is my family. I hope this doesn't sound too bad because I do love my family. However, what I like most about having a full-time job outside of the home is that I get to get away from my family five days a week.

I think my family has the ability to give me so much stress because I love them so much, and I want the best for them. I like my job, but if I were fired tomorrow, I would survive just fine, so why should I stress over work?

Post 1

I'm a firm believer in the adage that perception is reality. If you believe you are stressed then you are stressed. After all, the brain controls so much about the way we feel and our ultimate health anyway.

One reason that exercise is good at reducing stress in most instances is because the brain is not focused on the real or perceived stresses in a person's life during exercise. I have noticed that when I go to the gym during my lunch break, I feel much more relaxed and ready for work in the afternoon.

Sad! Eight-year-old girl dies 6 months after her cousin dared her to drink boiling water through a straw

A logo is the single most important visual asset of any company or brand. A good one will stay sharp and recognizable, even after future updates to brand colors or website redesigns, serving as the familiar face of the company. And yet, we’ve come a long way since logos were stand-alone, rigid features. Now more than ever, a good logo is no longer a separate element, but a team player that’s part of a cohesive visual identity. In our age of dwindling attention spans, logos have long become versatile, scalable and adaptable. This means that a single logo can take on numerous forms and shapes. It’s an exciting and creative new direction for logos, yes – but let’s face it, it can sometimes get slightly overwhelming, too. To help you navigate through this ever changing landscape of logo design, we’ve compiled a list of the biggest logo trends we’re seeing for 2019:

1. Text boxes

If adaptability and flexibility are the biggest values in logo design at the moment, the text boxes trend is definitely a direct result of that. We’re seeing more and more logos that are confined to a rectangular shape, all opting for simplicity and modularity over elaborate design work. These basic shapes are usually paired with clean, sans-serif typography that clearly states the brand’s name – and nothing else. This minimalistic design allows for much versatility in logo use, as the text boxes can be easily layered on top of photographs or videos, change their color, their layout, become see-through or inverted – all the while retaining their readability and recognizability.

2. Circles

A logo today has to look its best in any size, from building-front billboards to profile pics on social media. It’s a wide range to master, and achieving an equally beautiful design on this many platforms is challenging. One way brands choose to go about this is by making their logos circular. The rounded shape is a natural fit to most profile picture dimensions, making them perfect for social media. And to make things even more versatile, some companies alternate between a full, horizontal version of their logo for some applications, and a circular version for others, as does the French design studio and Wix user L’Appartement Parisien.

3. Variable logos

Similar to the way brands may have two versions of the same logo for different applications, many companies now go even further by creating a variety of visually diverse logos to be used interchangeably. These logos are beyond versatile – they’re no longer even required to retain the same font or look-and-feel. In fact, their different versions can change drastically, from badge logos to hand written ones, outlined or figurative – as long as all of the logos work together under the same visual language. This idea is a visual interpretation of a much broader social movement towards thinking more expansively about how design can include, and speak to, a multitude of identities and backgrounds. In the same spirit, a brand in 2019 can reach out to multiple audiences by thinking about which of their principles or values it makes sense to highlight in their approach to each one. This sophisticated trend is here to shake up your branding projects – but be careful not to stray too far and lose sight of visual cohesiveness.

4. Humanist serif type

The past year was marked by an abundance of buffed up and ornate serif fonts, full of personality and with a touch of vintage. The serif trend will be carried onto the coming year, only that this time around the serifs are growing more refined, making for very elegant and luxurious-looking logos. This small update maintains the same strong presence and retro vibe that made us love the previously elaborate serifs, while evolving into a more polished, clean and geometrical look.

5. Hand lettering

This trend might not be anything new, but for the time being, it looks like hand lettering is here to stay. These logos provide for a touch of the handmade and personal connection that we’re craving in our hyper-digital reality. With each letter individually crafted to create a unique, one-off piece, these designs are reminiscent of old sign paintings or traditional calligraphy.

6. Hand imagery

If hand lettered logos offer a handmade touch – this trend goes one step further by taking the metaphor quite literally. We’ve been seeing vector line drawings of hands for a while, but this year they’re becoming a full-on trend. Whether holding, pointing or reaching out for companionship and support – hands will be all over our logos this year.

7. Logotypes

Another handcrafted trend is the logotype, which has also been on the rise recently. A logotype is a typographical logo that joins the different letters in the brand’s name into one cohesive and harmonious unit. While logotypes are all about creating a typographical piece that’s as unified as possible, the theme of flexibility and modularity is carried on in this trend, too. Notice how graphic design studio and Wix user, Steve Wolf Designs, created a versatile system and branding for Chicago-based media company, Great and Main, with a logotype as the leading logo, and its initials and ampersand as independent components.

Tyson Fury explains Sefer Seferi opponent choice for comeback

WBN 01/06/2018
" "

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is using his comeback fight to gain much-needed rounds at Manchester Arena on June 9.

Fury has faced criticism from UK rival Tony Bellew for his choice of opponent, although the 27 year-old says Albanian cruiserweight Sefer Seferi is an ideal foil for his first fight in 31 months.

“I need rounds against Seferi because I’ve been out for a long time. I don’t need a knockout after 10 seconds,” Fury told the London Evening Standard.

“That is why I picked an opponent who is very tough.

“Any man who has had 24 fights and only lost one on points and never been knocked out can’t be a pushover.

“I should beat him comfortably but I need someone who can keep coming forward and put me under pressure,” he added.

November 2015 is a long gap inbetween contests and Fury will be hoping, not only to shake off the ring rust but to display what he and new trainer Ben Davison have been working on in the gym.

Following a split with uncle Peter, Fury has been dividing his time between Spain and Ricky Hatton’s Gym in Hyde, Manchester ahead of a contest that will see all eyes of the world on the North of England.

Any slip-ups will be wholely scrutinized by heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder and criticized by some in the media, who believe Fury will find it tough to come back from such a long spell out of action.

A stoppage is what’s needed, potentially in the second half of the contest, as Fury begins the long road to redemption and the regaining of his belts – which he never lost in the ring.

Tenured conservative prof at Sarah Lawrence on thin ice after penning op-ed

by WorldTribune Staff, November 13, 2018

A conservative-leaning Sarah Lawrence College professor who, in a New York Times op-ed, criticized the college’s “politically lopsided” student events had his office door vandalized and received messages calling on him to be stripped of tenure and fired.

Sarah Lawrence College

In the op-ed, Samuel Abrams was critical of events hosted by the college’s Office of Student Affairs, including seminars on microaggressions, understanding white privilege, and “staying woke.”

The op-ed also included original research – a survey of 900 university administrators nationwide – which showed that liberal administrators outnumber conservatives 12 to 1 on U.S. college campuses.

“While considerable focus has been placed in recent decades on the impact of the ideological bent of college professors, when it comes to collegiate life – living in dorms, participating in extracurricular organizations – the ever growing ranks of administrators have the biggest influence on students and campus life across the country,” wrote Abrams.

After the op-ed was published, Abrams said he discovered intimidating messages on the door of his office and the door’s decorations, which had included pictures of his family, were torn down.

Reason.com reported earlier this month that Abrams had asked the college’s president, Cristle Collins Judd, to condemn the perpetrators’ actions and reiterate her support for free speech.

Abrams said Judd wound up sending out a tepid campus-wide email that mentioned the importance of free expression, but mostly stressed her “commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence.” When he spoke to Judd over the phone, Abrams said she accused him of “attacking” members of the community.

“She said I had created a hostile work environment,” Abrams said in an interview with Reason. “If [the op-ed] constitutes hate speech, then this is not a world that I want to be a part of.”

After the op-ed was published, Abrams said students and alumni called an emergency student senate meeting which produced a declaration calling for him to be stripped of tenure and dismissed from the college.

In her campus-wide email about the meeting, Judd wrote: “The Senate asked me to publicly affirm that Black Lives Matter, that LBGT+ Lives matter, and that Women’s Justice matters. I emphatically did.”

Hours after the op-ed was published by the New York Times, a sign posted in protest on Abrams’ office door read: “Our right to exist is not ‘ideological,’ asshole,” and was signed “transsexual fag.” Another flyer demanded that he apologize to residence life staff and the director of campus diversity, students of color, queer students, trans students, and other marginalized persons. Multiple messages instructed Abrams to “quit,” and one told him to “go teach somewhere else, maybe Charlottesville.”

Several of Abrams’ colleagues met with Judd to discuss the vandalism and express their view that such acts could not be tolerated, the Reason report said, adding that Judd agreed, but did not pledge to take any further actions.

These professors thought she seemed scared that the students might hold more protests, creating a public relations disaster, according to Abrams.

How Do I Reduce My Visitor Bounce Rate?

Bounce Rate

So, you have started your own WordPress website or blog, and you have finally started to get a few people to your site. However, there is one thing which worries you more than anything – your visitor bounce rate is huge!

Does this sound familiar? If so, then you need to take steps to lower it. Every single person who ‘bounces’ from your website or landing page is a potential customer, client, or reader lost. This means loss in revenue, less people reading or watching your content, and basically, a less successful website.

Luckily for you, there are a lot of things that you can do to improve your bounce rate – to lower it – and most of these are simple and free. Some of the best places to start include:

Improving your content:

If a visitor arrives at your website and sees a whole chunk of boring, poorly written text without visual content, then they are going to leave – it’s as simple as that! If you really want to reduce your bounce rate, you need to improve your content.

  • Use big, bold headlines to draw people in. Use catchy words, and don’t be afraid to put big headers throughout your content.
  • Use visuals! People don’t have the time to sit down and read long, wordy articles any more. If you want to increase visitor engagement, use pictures, videos, and infographics as much as you can.
  • Only use a couple of sentences per paragraph. Any more, and people will find it hard to concentrate, and will probably leave your site to find something more friendly.

Don’t use too many ads:

I’m sure that you will agree with me on this one – if a website is packed with ads and popups everywhere there is a spare piece of space, then you won’t be very attracted to it. If there is too much advertising, a visitor will simply leave your site and move onto the next. Instead of packing your WordPress pages with ads, focus on including a couple of high-quality ads in inconspicuous places – doing so will definitely reduce your bounce rate!

Keep your blog fresh and don’t use misleading titles:

If you really want to keep people on your website, then you have to do something to encourage them to stay. Provide high quality, informative content, update your pages regularly, and don’t use misleading, clickbaity titles.

Make your website fast:

When it comes to WordPress made websites made by amateur web designers, load speed is usually a major problem. If your website takes too long to load, visitors are not going to hang around. There are plenty of plugins that you can use to reduce your page load speed if you are using WordPress, and some of the best ones are free.

If you are trying to increase visitor engagement and reduce your website bounce rate, there are a few simple things that you can do. Spend a bit of time, spruce up your site, and watch the results flow in!

A pair of defensive linemen who hail from Jackson County are set to fulfill their dreams of playing Division I football.

After St. Martin senior Norde White Jr. committed to Jackson State last month, former Pascagoula standout Jaeden Ridgeway offered his pledge to Southeastern Louisiana on Monday.

The Pearl River Community College freshman picked up the offer from the Lions on a trip to the Hammond campus on Saturday.

“Man, it was something I’ve been waiting on this for a long time,” Ridgeway said of receiving his Division I first offer. “It was a good feeling. My mom was standing right there and she teared up.”

Ridgeway didn’t wait long to make his pledge.

“It felt like it was the right place for me,” he said. “It finally makes me feel like the hard work is paying off.”

Ridgeway, who checks in at 6-foot-3, 260 pounds, has eight tackles through five games as a defensive end.

Former Ole Miss quarterback/running back Michael Spurlock is the man who has been recruiting White for Southeastern Louisiana. The Lions staff talked with Ridgeway while he was at Pascagoula High School, but wanted to see how he would develop on the junior college level.

“I’ve definitely gotten better with my pass rushing,” Ridgeway said. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger and I’ve gotten better technique with the good coaching up here.”

Ridgeway has also heard from Tennessee-Martin, South Alabama and New Mexico State and he’s open to hearing what other colleges have to say.

“I’m definitely willing to listen to other offers,” he said.

White makes his return

Norde White had one of those injuries that could have easily ended a promising football career.

The St. Martin senior defensive tackle tore his ACL, PCL and hamstring during the second game of his junior campaign in 2017, ending his season early.

Doctors told him it would take 9 months to recover, keeping him away from the football field at a crucial point in his recruitment. He was already hearing from college programs like Louisiana-Lafayette, South Alabama and UAB.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pound White had a long road ahead of him.

“I never gave up throughout the whole process,” White said Monday. “I knew I had to get going.

“I have a problem with being still. I couldn’t sit still. I just had to get back. I had a couple of schools recruiting me and I had to back to my bread and butter, what’s good.”

White is back on the field as a senior and working his way back to 100 percent health.

St. Martin coach Eddie Wayne Whitehead believes White has a high ceiling as a college prospect.

“There ain’t no doubt with his size,” Whitehead said. “He played a game and a half (last year) and you could see a lot of improvement from his sophomore year. Right now, he’s starting to play like he did last year when he was healthy.”

Jackson State became the first Division I school to take the leap and offer White a scholarship back in May.

In September, White awarded their commitment to him by offering his own verbal pledge.

“That’s what really, really made me go ahead and commit,” White said. “During the injury process, they were the only one checking up on me and hollering at me. That’s respect.”

White has 17 tackles and two sacks through six games this season for the Yellow Jackets (4-2, 1-1).

5Q Interview: Tehila Hakimi, 2018 IWP Resident

The Writing University conducts is a series of interviews with writers while they are in Iowa City participating in the International Writing Program's fall residency. We sit down with the writers to ask about their work, their process and their descriptions of home.

Today we are speaking with Tehila Hakimi תהילה חכימי a poet and fiction writer from Israel.

1. Do you have a plan or project in mind for your time at the residency?

I plan to work on my first novel. I started working on it this year. It tells the story of an Israeli woman offered by the company she works for a position in its American branch. Tired of the political atmosphere in Israel and of life in a war-zone, she decides to accept the offer and leave for the US. Arriving alone at a small southeastern town, she spends her free time with her men colleagues and picks up a new hobby, soon to become her main passion: hunting.

2. What does your daily practice look like for your writing? Do you have a certain time when you write? Any specific routine?

I am not sure if I have a specific writing routine, I use the time when I have it. I have a full time position as Program Manager in an International engineering company (In the car industry), so I try to write between work time: evenings, weekends and when traveling for work. I find it a perfect time for writing, as while traveling for work I have a lot of time alone, sometimes in isolated hotel rooms.

Writing Poetry is a bit different though, as I sometimes write at work, at my office, at my desk. If not a whole poem at least a draft of a poem to be.

3. What are you currently reading right now? Are you reading for research or pleasure?

I think every book I read for pleasure might become research read in a way, currently I am reading three books: Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville; Karl Ove Knausgård's  - A Man in Love : My Struggle Book 2; and Anton Shammas's Arabesques, that tells the story of Shammas's family in the middle east, as well as his IWP experience back in the mid 80's.

4. What is something the readers and writers of Iowa City should know about you and/or your work?

So far I published a poetry book, a graphic novel and this November I will publish my first prose book: Company. As both a prose writer and a poet, as well as an engineer in my profession, I constantly move between the edges. It is a constant movement indeed: so that my work often deals with the topic of work, and, more specifically, with women who work in a masculine environment, asking how the feminine body both shapes and is shaped by this environment. as well as language and the way a story is told.

As a woman writer, as well as a woman engineer, I am still surrounded by mostly men in positions of power. In a world where men still exert power over women, my work deals with the interconnectedness of power, work and loneliness.

5. Tell us a bit about where you are from -- what are some favorite details you would like to share about your home?

I live in Tel Aviv with my Partner, Tomer.  we live one block away from where my late grandmother Rachel used to live. it brings back some memories, sometimes I see her in the old women in the neighborhood. Both my grandmothers had a tough life, immigrated from Iran and Morocco to Israel in the 50's and mid 50's. as i grow up I learn women in their generation where true revolutionaries even if not calling themselves feminists.

I come from a family of women, so I always say my father is a patriarch in a matriarch family, I have 3 sisters, one of them is my twin, Efrat.

Thank you Tehlia!

Tehila will be reading with IWP resident Gina Cole at 4pm, this Sunday, Sept. 23rd at Prairie Lights Bookstore in Iowa City. Link

Tehila HAKIMI תהילה חכימי (poet, fiction writer; Israel) writes poetry, fiction and graphic novels. Her poetry volume מחר נעבוד [We’ll Work Tomorrow] (2014) received the 2015 Bernstein Prize for Literature, and, alongside her graphic novel במים [In the Water], the Yehoshua Rabinowitz Foundation Prize for Literature. Hakimi received the 2014 Israeli Ministry of Culture Prize for Emerging Poets. She works as a mechanical engineer. Her participation is made possible by the United States-Israel Educational Foundation.

Online Brokerage Folio Investing to Offer NextShares

Eaton Vance announces first securities firm to offer its planned new breed of fund

Online brokerage services Folio Investing and Folio Institutional plan to offer a new type of fund created by a unit of Eaton Vance Corp. EV -3.64% that may start trading later this year.

The NextShares funds, to be offered by Eaton Vance itself as well as other asset managers, have characteristics of both mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Folio parent Foliofn Inc., based in McLean, Va., is the first brokerage firm that Eaton Vance unit Navigate Fund Solutions LLC has announced will offer the new funds. Last month, Envestnet Inc., ENV -1.43% a provider of online-investment tools, said it would make the funds available to financial advisers on its wealth-management platform.

Asset managers and securities analysts are watching for major securities firms to say they will adjust their systems to accommodate the new funds’ unique trading mechanism. NextShares investors will place orders during the trading day to be executed at an increment above or below the daily net asset value, or NAV, to be determined at the end of the day.

Folio Investing permits individual investors to put together portfolios of stocks, ETFs and mutual funds or to choose from ready-made portfolios. They can buy or sell an entire “folio” in one online click. Folio Institutional offers brokerage and custodial services for financial advisers and institutions. Foliofn works with about 500 advisory firms and declined to disclose the dollars invested in folios.

“We think there are some significant advantages to the NextShares structure,” said Steven Wallman, chief executive and founder of Foliofn and a former commissioner with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The funds will offer the cost savings and tax advantages of an ETF-type structure in the context of actively managed funds, he said.

NextShares won’t disclose their holdings daily, as almost all ETFs do. That makes the structure attractive to some asset-management companies that are concerned about daily disclosure hobbling their trading ability.

Folio is hopeful that the funds will be offered by year-end, but Mr. Wallman said Eaton Vance is still awaiting some approvals from regulators.

Judge Halts Deportation Of Detained New York Pizza Delivery Man

Jun 10, 2018

A federal judge in New York City has halted, for now, the deportation of a pizza delivery man at least until a hearing on July 20.

Judge Alison J. Nathan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered Saturday evening for the government to show why a temporary preliminary injunction should not be granted in the case of Pablo Villavicencio Calderon, an Ecuadorean immigrant, according to Villavicencio's lawyers.

The 35-year-old was detained on June 1 while delivering food to the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn.

He's being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a facility in New Jersey.

"Although we are disappointed that Pablo will remain detained, today's stay is a victory for him and his family, and also for due process and the fair administration of justice," one of his lawyers, Gregory Copeland of the Legal Aid Society's Immigration Law Unit said, according to the group's Twitter account.

Fort Hamilton's public affairs office said security officers called ICE after discovering an active ICE warrant for Villavicencio in a routine background check. ICE says Villavicencio was ordered by a judge to leave the country in 2010 but stayed.

Villavicencio's wife Sandra Chica said at a news conference last week that she is a U.S. citizen and that both of the couple's children were born in the U.S. She said Villavicencio applied for a green card in February.

Judge Nathan's order says the government must keep Villavicencio within the New York City area.

Justin Brannan, a member of the New York City Council whose district includes the Army base, said on Wednesday that Villavicencio had delivered to the base several times before without any issues.

"Why was this time any different from any other times Pablo came to deliver food to the Army base?" Brannan asked, according to NPR's Joel Rose. "Why was Pablo singled out?"

Prominent Democrats have spoken out against Villavicencio's detention, including New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo.

"There's compelling evidence that Pablo Villavicencio was improperly detained," Cuomo wrote on Twitter Saturday. "He should be immediately released from ICE custody and an investigation should be launched into the circumstances of his arrest."

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called the incident "shameful," and said the Trump administration's immigration policies are "inhumane, plain and simple" and do "not make our country safer."

Xtreme Snow Pros Chris Marino, Glenn Kramer, and Joe Capobianco Jr. earn SIMA accreditation

It’s been an exciting week here at Xtreme Snow Pros! Three members from our management team have received Snow & Ice Management Association (SIMA) accreditation, further legitimizing their expertise in the world of snow and ice removal. Our own Chris Marino, Owner, Glenn Kramer, Operations Manager, and Joe Capobianco Jr., Business Developer, have earned their Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) designation.

At Xtreme Snow Pros, we are always committed to providing high-quality, dependable, and affordable winter weather management services. With over 30 years of experience in the snow and ice removal business, Xtreme Snow Pros provides every client with affordable, worry-free snow management solutions. Their accounts include retail establishments, corporate office buildings, healthcare facilities, apartment complexes, and homeowner associations.

As such, our management team is constantly completing new course and credits to further advance their knowledge of the industry we know and love. With dangerous wintery weather causing thousands of people to crash throughout Northeast winters ever year, the Xtreme Snow Pros team knows it’s possible for us all to navigate the blustery weather in a safe and smart manner.

Now proudly the recipients of ASM designations, these three gentleman bring with them to the table:

● Serious training – Building an effective, quality training program for snow operations is challenging. SIMA has made it easy to create consistent, reliable training for operations managers and operators.

● Stronger people – Strength of service is only as good as the people who power it. The ASM program helps build confidence and leadership and empowers snow personnel to become more efficient and knowledgeable during snow events.

● Safer operations – ASM focuses on creating a culture that rewards safety and seeks to reduce the chance of injuries, and service failure. This includes standardized methods of organizing and documenting work that occurs onsite.

And the list goes on. Having completed the program, each person completed four certificate courses: Core Principles, Plowing Operations, Sidewalk Operations, and Ice Management. Individuals complete the courses, and then take a quiz to assess knowledge. Those who earn all four certificates receive the ASM designation, an official training credential from SIMA.

We are incredibly proud of our management team here at Xtreme Snow Pros, and we are even prouder to have three leading figures with ASM designation as we move forward.

About Leopold

Leopold has long been a worldwide leader in the water and wastewater treatment industry supplying both filtration and clarification systems. Leopold both designs and supplies systems for gravity filtration, clarification, denitrification, sludge collection and backwash water recovery. Leopold solutions are ideal for algae, contaminant, and nutrient removal, desalination pretreatment, reuse, SDI, and taste and odor reduction. Since its establishment in 1924, Leopold has pioneered and acquired a number of innovative technologies aimed at improving the quality of water while reducing costs. With over 8,000 installations, customers from around the world have come to rely on Xylem’s expertise and technological leadership in water and wastewater treatment.

Since 1924 Leopold has been designing and manufacturing rapid gravity media filtration and clarification solutions for treating water and wastewater. Leopold supplies potable drinking water treatment plants with media filtration, backwash water recovery, and desalination pretreatment solutions, while supplying wastewater treatment plants with tertiary filtration and denitrification solutions. They also supply both potable and wastewater treatment plants with dissolved air flotation (DAF) clarification and sludge collection solutions.

Leopold engineers are available to help analyze, evaluate and design all aspects of a complete filtration system, including evaluating influent water qualities, determining optimal loading rates and best design configuration, selecting the best media characteristics, and designing the backwash process. Xylem’s Leopold Filterworx performance filter system comes complete with flume, underdrains, integral media support, engineered media, backwash water troughs, and system controls. The result is a cost effective, efficient, high-performance system designed to meet customer requirements.

Xylem’s Leopold Clari-DAF is used to clarify raw water to remove contaminants such as turbidity, algae, color, iron, manganese, organics, and taste and odor compounds. It’s a highly-effective, proven technology for removing low-density particulates as well as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Its performance is superior to conventional clarification in providing consistent water quality, producing consistently high sludge solids, and operating at high loading rates– results that can lower customer’s total cost of operation.

Leopold also offers sludge collection solutions with the Clari-VAC floating sludge collector and the CT2 submerged sludge collector. These systems are used in final clarifiers to remove the sludge solids. For those areas where nitrogen and phosphorus removal is required, Leopold provides elimi-NITE denitrification systems which convert the filters to become biologically active so that the effluent meets the mandated nitrate and phosphorus levels.

Kasam Desert Safari Camp, Sam, Review

During my recent trip to Rajasthan, I stayed at the Kasam Desert Safari Camp in Kanoi, near Sam Sand Dunes.

Initially, after reaching Kanoi, I had checked out RTDC Sam Dhani Resort, which has rooms as well as camps. However, for Rs. 4,000 a night (which included dinner and breakfast, desert safari in evening and cultural event) it didn’t really seem worth it since the cultural event was supposed to take place at another camp and we would have to commute to that place.

So our next stop was Kasam Desert Safari Camp, which was nearby and is run by Kasam Khan, who happens to be my friend on FB.

Initially, we had a little bit of difficulty finding it since the camps are run in partnership and have the board of Royal Pavillion at front. So even though we were standing right infront of it, we couldn’t find it. A quick call to Kasam bhai resolved that issue and we went in and checked in.

The tent was spacious and comfortable with a couple of charging points. Though the washroom could have been a little better.

After a cup of tea, we went with Kasam bhai for a desert safari in his Jeep. It was quite a rollercoaster ride and after reaching the sunset point, Mansi took a camel ride as well, while I shot the sunset.

After I was done with the photography, Kasam bhai took Mansi for a short spin on the dunes, while I shot a video and a few photographs.

We came back to the camp as the night fell, where the Rajasthani Cultural Event was organized.

The Cultural Event consisted of Fire Dance, Bhavai Dance, Morsing along with other forms of Rajasthani Folk Dances and Songs.

Chai and pakodas were served during the cultural event, while hookah, alcoholic and aerated beverages were chargeable.

The only sad part of the otherwise good cultural event was the fact that a family from Gujarat butted in time and again in performances, as can be seen in this video.

This was just the tip of the iceberg. They along with another family from Karnataka even went to the extent of playing their own playlist of songs at the event. The local dancers couldn’t really dance to those tunes and frankly speaking, if I wanted to hear a bunch of Punjabi songs and watch a few people trying to pass on shaking of legs as dance (which these people were doing), I would go and watch the dance floor of Punjabi weddings and likely come back more satisfied!

It was sad to see that for the supposed fun of a handful of people, mood of others was ruined. Because the large group from West Bengal left one by one, while we only stuck around because our hookah was still wasn’t over. And I was cursing myself for not bringing my headphones with me, that way I could have at least escaped this ridiculousness a bit.

Frankly speaking, the organizers should ensure that only Rajasthani Folk Songs are played at cultural events, after all, that is what we were there to watch and enjoy!

After the cultural event, we went for dinner in the dining room and it was a buffet consisting of delicious and finger licking Rajasthani food.

After dinner I choose to sit in front of my tent, watching the stars. And apart from someone shouting at another camp in distance, it was really peaceful and beautiful.

In the morning, there was another desert safari organized to watch the sunrise. While Mansi opted for Camel Safari this time around, I decided to skip it and chose to shoot time-lapse at the camp.

Breakfast was decent as well and overall, we had a nice stay at Kasam Desert Safari Camp. We had to pay Rs. 3,400 for it (plus Rs. 700 for hookah), which included stay, dinner and breakfast, evening and morning safari and cultural event in the evening.
