Adidas Agrees to Sell Rockport to Berkshire/New Balance Partnership

Adidas Agrees to Sell Rockport to Berkshire/New Balance Partnership

The Adidas Group entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Rockport business to a new entity formed by Berkshire Partners and New Balance for a total consideration of $280 million, most of which will be paid in cash with the remainder comprised of notes.

New Balance will contribute its Drydock business to the new entity which will create a leading collection of global footwear brands including Rockport and Drydock’s Aravon, Dunham and Cobb Hill brands. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed later in 2015. As a result of the transaction, the Adidas Group will record a non-operational negative P&L impact in a double-digit million Euro amount, which will be reported in discontinued operations as part of the company’s 2014 results.

“Rockport is a brand that has performed well over the last years,” said Herbert Hainer, CEO of the Adidas Group. “However, our focus is clearly on sport and operating a brand portfolio with a clear agenda to unleash the potential of athletes and inspire consumers to live active lives. The brown shoe category is not core to this strategy and the sale of Rockport will allow us to reduce complexity and pursue our target consumer more aggressively with the Adidas, Reebok and TaylorMade brands.”

Headquartered in Canton, MA, The Rockport Company, LLC is a leading global designer, developer, manufacturer, distributor and retailer of innovative, high-quality footwear specially engineered for comfort under the Rockport brand. Rockport offers a full line of men’s and women’s footwear which is sold through a global multi-channel distribution network.

Guggenheim Securities, LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Adidas AG and Ropes & Gray LLP served as legal counsel.

How to Make a Voodoo Doll Pin Cushion

Alyssa loves celebrating holidays and making fun crafts. She is a wife and mom who drinks a lot of coffee!

Halloween Craft Idea: DIY Voodoo Doll Pin Cushion

When my husband and I first moved in together, my mother-in-law took me shopping to get a few essentials for our new apartment. The one thing she insisted on was a sewing kit. She found a little box with everything we would need inside and put it in the cart. Fast forward fifteen years, and that box is still with us. I store everything sewing-related into it. Over the summer, I had to repair my swimsuit top and I decided I wanted to create a new pin cushion. The old blue apple has seen better days, and while it still serves its purpose, I figured I could make an upgrade.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I thought it would be cute to make a voodoo doll pin cushion. Not only would it hold my needles and pins, but it would look darling as part of my décor. I immediately started rummaging around my house to see what I could use.

Instead of cutting open the old pin cushion, I decided to leave it intact. I believe the stuffing is emery and figured it would be best to simply cover it with fabric to turn it into my doll's head. Additionally, I found an old stuffed bear that I thought would be perfect to repurpose as the body of my voodoo doll. This ended up saving a lot of time and made the entire project much easier.

Below I've shared how I created this pin cushion step by step, including photos for reference. I hope it inspires you to create your own!

Materials Needed

Materials Needed

Materials Needed

  • white and red fabric
  • an old pin cushion
  • an old stuffed bear or animal
  • hot glue gun
  • two black buttons, preferably different sizes
  • black or dark-colored thread
  • dental floss
  • scissors
  • needle

Step 1: Cover the Pin Cushion With Fabric

Cut a piece of fabric to cover the old pin cushion. I liked the look of an old capri pant pocket. Figure out where you'd like your doll's eyes to be and sew the buttons in place.

Wrap the fabric around your old pin cushion and glue it in place. Since I used an old pocket, I slid the pin cushion in and glued the corners down tight to hold the pin cushion in place. This also ensures that when I put my needles and pins into the cushion, they won't slide into the dried glue.

Step 2: Create the Mouth

Draw out the mouth if desired and stitch using needle and black thread. I ran two straight lines of thread over each other and then alternated small and long vertical stiches to add interest.

Step 3: Create a Body

Cut the head off your small stuffed animal. If you like the color of the fabric, go ahead and glue the pin cushion head to the body. Other wise, wrap pieces of fabric to your animal to get a placement.

Cut a heart shape out of your red fabric and figure out where you'd like to place it. Sew it onto your fabric.

Step 4: Cover the Body With Fabric

Carefully glue the back of your animal to the fabric. Allow to cool and dry for a few minutes.

Cut the fabric around the bottom of your animal, leaving a half inch or so to glue and sew to the top.

Working in sections, run a line of hot glue around the edge of your animal and place fabric down as you go. Allow the glue to cool and dry.

Carefully cut excess fabric. Glue any hard edges to the back of your doll. If you have a sewing machine or like to hand stitch, you could sew the seam all the way around instead.

Step 5: Attach the Head to the Body

Carefully glue the head to the body. Allow glue to cool and dry. I let my pin cushion doll sit overnight.

Attach the head to the body with hot glue. Allow to completely cool and dry.

Attach the head to the body with hot glue. Allow to completely cool and dry.

Step 6: Customize the Look

Here is where you can customize to suit your taste and needs. I added random safety pins around the neck to add interest and two in the shape of an x on the arm. I also thought it would be cute and functional to add a larger safety pin to hold random buttons. Three pins stick out from the heart and I put all my needles right on the head for easy access.

I'm so pleased with the result. Not only is this a unique Halloween decoration, but it serves a functional purpose as well. I think this was a successful pin cushion upgrade. If nothing else, it's definitely a conversation piece!

Rain Rain Go Away

with No Comments

Cold, wet and cold. Constant rains at Skalanes, indoor science is not as exciting as outdoor science. Ventured out into the as little as possible. Once to place and geo-reference survey stakes, and once to track the elusive Gandolf. He is a master escape artist and a speed demon. Gandolf is a domestic rabbit that escaped/was released near the house at Skalanes. The first few attempts on his capture involved many hands and quick feet. However in the past few days I have tried a different approach. Slow and steady trust building. I have successfully had him eat out of my hand on two separate days. the rains today slowed the efforts. I hope day three will bring full success. Since we could not fly the drone and decided to wait on soil samples we decided to do a bit of group bonding, many rounds of Euchre and Coup past the time. Even in the rain this place is gorgeous. I can’t wait to get outside and do some more exploring!!

Settling in at Skalanes: Home away from home

with 1 Comment

It feels good to be settled for a bit after several long days of travel. And what a place to settle. [Audible deep breath in…and out]

Since we are here for some time and there is much work to be done, we started our day by organizing science gear and planning the research we will do here on the property as well as some of the experiments we will perform on soil samples we collected at Solheimajoekull glacier. Our group has also settled into a nice cooking and chore rotation.

After lunch today, Oli and Rannveig took us on a walk to the cliffs east southeast of the house. Oli shared with us the history of Skalanes, information about the bird colonies here, and the role that lupine plays in fertilizing the soil in Iceland.

We saw lots of fulmars, a type of ocean bird; kittiwakes, a type of gull; and puffins, adorably cute. We have been enjoying the unique sounds of the snipes, discovered that male eider ducks make sounds similar to owls, and we’ve been trying to steer clear of the Arctic terns as they work to protect their nests. I am still researching which bird pooped on me as we began our walk. [Note: this is the second time a bird has pooped on me while on a trip with Charlie; at least we weren’t on our way to visit Earlham alumni and donors this time!]

While Skalanes hosts student and faculty scientists and outdoor education enthusiasts like our Earlham group, it also relies on tourism. Today, we enjoyed welcoming a group from a tour boat who came to hike a bit, take in the views of the fjord and the cliffs, and do some birding.

Tonight, several are enjoying the sauna before a full day of science tomorrow. I’m heading to the showers. I think it was the tern.

A ferry, a climb, and a feast!

with No Comments

The day began bright and early (and misty) to catch an hour long ferry ride to Heimaey. Thankfully, our stomachs allowed for a relaxing journey with the opportunity to spend time on the deck or stay inside for a short nap. Upon arrival, we were greeted by faint smell of fish and the sound of birds who were circling the many cliffs surrounding us.

Our first stop was the lowest spot in sight- the docks, where we calibrated the Ambiance Platform device onto the application, Field Day, developed by the Earlham CS group. This was then able to track our movements throughout the island as we split into two groups to hike the volcanoes, Eldafell and Helgafell. The scree made our hike challenging, but after pushing through, we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the town as we reached the top and collected the points of highest elevation.

As we returned to town, there was time to freely explore the streets, shops, and museums. Before heading back on the ferry, we were treated to a mouthwatering dinner at GOTT, a highly reviewed favorite of Charlie’s.

Day one on the Solheimajoekull glacier

with No Comments

Today we drove from Reykjavik to the Solheimajoekull glacier on the south coast of Iceland to take soil samples and try-out flying our remote piloted aircraft (AKA drone). Groups of Earlham students & faculty have been working here for a couple of years measuring the shrinking extent of the glacier and taking soil samples on which we do 16S rRNA sequencing to characterize the development of soil microbes as the soil develops after being exposed by the receding glacier.

The red circle on the image is the area we work in, for a sense of scale the circle is about 2km in diameter.

Solheimajokull glacier, we work in the red circle (roughly).

This picture was taken from the ridge on the East side where we were sampling. We are almost always wet and cold when we are working here, but all a person needs to do is look around and take in the amazing view to feel pretty good about being there.

Panorama from the East side.

After finishing we piled back into our vehicles and drove to Vik where we will be staying for the next two days. Emi made a great dinner for us and now we are organizing the samples and data we collected today. Tomorrow we go to Heimaey, an island off the South coast to hike the two volcanoes located there and test our new elevation platform.

Eggs, Fog, Geothermal, and a Waterfall

with No Comments

After a much needed night of sleep, we began our second day in Iceland! We woke up to a 5-star breakfast, omelettes, courtesy of Charlie. After breakfast we hopped in the cars and were off to Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant for a tour. The van missed its turn due to some extreme fog, but eventually we all made it! At the plant got to learn about how geothermal power is generated and how the plant sends the hot water and power it produces to everyone in Reykjavik.

After the tour, it was back into the fog for a drive to the waterfall, Gullfoss. Gullfoss is a popular waterfall in the canyon of the Hvítá river in SW Iceland.

We ended our excursions with a delicious dinner of Tikka Masala, prepared by Ai Lena and Jacob!

And so, we landed!

with No Comments

Today marks our fist day here in Iceland.

Events started in a bit of a disarray with the airlines misplacing some important biology items and Charlie attempting new fashion trends,

but nevertheless after collecting our things from the baggage claim we soon found the members of our group who had arrived ahead of the main party.

Dan was our fearless leader of the day and we organised into groups to get some errands done such as getting an emergency SIM card, going grocery shopping, and getting dry ice. At this point everyone was feeling the effects of tiredness, jet lag, and the every present brightness special to Iceland.

The day was far from over though, for our first real taste of Icelandic scenery the group went off to Þingvellir, a national shrine and home of the first parliament in existence, that lies directly next to the Almannagjá canyon which is made by the separation of the north American and European tectonic plates.
In such a short time, we have already been met by so much beauty here in the land of fire, ice, and trolls, we are all excited for what the next couple of weeks have in store for us.

I’m leaving on a jet plane

with No Comments

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go!

We’re just about ready for departure. Three of us leave this afternoon for flights out of Chicago, and the rest of the crew departs early tomorrow morning: Earlham –> IND/DAY –> JFK (7 hour layover) –> KEF –> Reykjavik!

It’s been a very busy 1.5 weeks, but, ready or not, we will all be in Iceland in less than 48 hours. We can anticipate cloudy weather in the 40s and 50s. We’re looking forward to experiencing another place, expanding our horizons (culturally, scientifically, emotionally), eating fermented shark, implementing our algorithms and devices, going back to Skalanes, to run in Iceland, seeing birds (especially Puffins), geocaching, standing on a glacier (and possibly sledding down it), climbing a volcano or two, lounging in a hot spring, and trying to learn some of the language.

Our gear is packed.

Our daily plans have been formulated.

Our devices are primed and charged.

Our sense of adventure is fully present.

Our Spotify playlist has been populated. What more do we need?

See you in Iceland!

Hey, DNA!

with 1 Comment

Our biology and soil team has begun a practice run of the sampling, DNA extraction, and MinION sequencing protocols so that we are prepared and familiar with the process before we get to Iceland. We started by collecting soil samples from various places around Earlham campus: The Heart, the Japanese garden by Stout, the horse barn, the rain garden by the Wellness Center, and a popular social gathering place back campus. We used Maria, one of our elevation platforms, to record the coordinates of each sample site, and as a placeholder for the soil temperature readings we will take in Iceland. We put the samples on ice to preserve the living organisms within, since we are trying to identify what kind of biotic activity takes place and varies at each site, both here at Earlham and eventually in Iceland on Sólheimajökull. Back at the lab, we extracted the DNA.

Much pipette fun was had by all!

We also ran a gel electrophoresis and a Nano Drop to test the quality of the DNA. The former told us how long the strands were, and the latter told us how many nanograms per microliter of DNA we had in our samples. Both yielded positive results, meaning we have a good quality and quantity of DNA to put through the MinION.

DNA on the gel tray

We had some technical difficulties at first with this new tech, but we made it work eventually and are now working on setting up the nanopore. We are almost ready to sequence the DNA and find out what microorganisms are living all around us! We had a great win the other day with QGIS. Though we had a rocky start, we were finally able to georeference our first map! Enthusiastic cheers echoed through the Turing room, and we all celebrated with a trip to Dairy Queen.

Laser Beams and Drones

with No Comments

Over the last few days, we have been making good progress with our LiDAR endeavors. Neil and Charlie have been working on weight-efficient methods to attach the LiDAR to our drone, Kia. The initial prototype was too heavy, and a test run over-heated Kia’s battery. It turns out that we can cover one of Kia’s sensors without catastrophe, which will allow us to attach the LiDAR to Kia underneath said sensor without needing extra material like a platform for the LiDAR to sit on.

It will be useful for us to sync up the LiDAR data with GPS data from Kia. Fortunately, both the LiDAR and Kia transmit time-data. Unfortunately, that data is not easily accessible, much less synchronizable. Kellan and Nic have been working on methods to extract this data so we can sync up and get going. They have also been working on installing software and writing code for analyzing point clouds (3-D depictions of LiDAR readings).

I have been familiarizing myself with the tools and methods used for analyzing point clouds. Once we have gathered our LiDAR data, how do we extract meaning from any of it? First we will need to reduce noise, which can be done by using statistical analysis to detect outlier points (laser reflects off of a piece of airborne dust, for instance). Since we will be looking for particular kinds of things (archaeological ruins, bird nests, etc.), we will then need to have methods for detecting particular features. For example, the foundation of a structure will likely have near-straight lines. If we have a tool that will highlight all near-straight lines, we can search for archaeological ruins more efficiently. There are many object-detection techniques, all of which involve very clever math. If we’re lucky, any noise-filtering and object-detection algorithms that we may need are already out there. If not, enough work has been done in this field that synthesizing existing methods will (hopefully) be doable.

We are currently searching for a renegade tablet that seems to have wandered off. I can’t imagine it can run very fast or far, so we should come across it soon if it doesn’t get tired and come home by itself.

Biology and Pockets

with No Comments

Lately we’ve been trying to figure out how to track the movement of the Sólheimajökull glacier to determine where to take samples of the soil, which we are then going to extract microbe DNA and thenot sequence that DNA with the MinION  (as seen previously in the blog post wherein Emi was being very excited about her new gadget.) Moving away from the maps, we’ve passed the location torch to Dan and Ai Lena and georeferencing software, QGIS, as I found through several hours of soul crushingly fruitless work to get our three maps to the same scale that the analog method was not the best route. However with that issue off my plate, I am freed to work on honing my soil sampling, protocol following, and biology learning skills. So yesterday, for example, Dan, Cait, and I worked on practicing our pipetting so today we can gather soils from around campus to do a practice run of our DNA extraction kit and presumably the sequencing kit as well. I also learned that bacteria and archaea are different, also that I have a pocket that combines three pockets in one.

#MaxFam @ Drake postponed

The students who make up Drake Theatre People and I have decided to postpone the reading of Maximalista #MentalHealthPlay until Mental Health Awareness Week in October, 2018.

With great love for their efforts, and their stated desire to house this play, the New York cast and I continue developing it in the interest of shining a light on what one person can do for people who struggle with mental illness.

This postponement does not mean you couldn’t go sign up for Mental Health First Aid class where you are and become part of the greater solution to the mental health crisis.

With gratefulness…

  1. You are amazing with this valuable quest to bring this topic to light
    It’s so hush hush and so the majority of people affected in one way or another
    Whether you yourself is gifted with mental illness or an intimate relationship is, it’s a situation that truthfully no one is without
    Thanks for the great information and inspiration 💜

Over-actors, Cheaters, Gougers, and Morons

I’ve been up since 4:30am and in my earliest two hours of consciousness I’ve taken the first digital steps to act on some jaded ideas and change my life…

  • The last time I was semi-conscious, the Red Sox had a 5-1 lead on the Yankees. As thoughts of burying the dreaded pinstripes danced in my head, the sons of Joe Torre stunned the locals, plating 6 in the 8th for an electric (Well, for them… I’m sure it was a freakin shock for the Sox…) 8-7 comeback win. Sure, it would have been nice to flatline hope in the Bronx with a sweep this weekend, but they’re not “the New York Yankees” for nothing, and unfortunately with that over-actor Derek Jeter in their lineup, they are still capable of greatness. From a selfish Red Sox fan perspective, the playoffs without the specter of the Evil Empire lurking would have made the trip to the World Series less tenuous, but as a baseball fan, a Sox-Yanks ALCS is the best thing about the baseball playoffs…ever. The Yankees guard the gates, and if the Red Sox are to win the World Series, it will require hand to hand combat in the Bronx to do it. I’m happy to report I will attend an ALCS preview tonight with Josh Beckett (18-6, 3.27) facing Chien-Ming Wang (18-6, 3.69). I could be Wong, but if one of these guys leads his 9 to victory tonight, he might just pocket the Cy Young award.
  • Bill, Bill, Bill… It doesn’t matter that we may never know for how long or to what benefit their actions resulted. Bill Belichick’s Patriots cheated. His arrogant flaunting of very clear rules is inexcusable and positions a dark cloud forever over the Patriots 3 SuperBowl wins. Being a glass half-full guy, I think this will light a fire under this loaded team and give them a gigantic “they don’t think we can win without cheating” chip on their shoulder pads.
  • Being a sports fan in the greatest sports city in America does have its downside. Sunday night for example… Sox-Yanks on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball or Pats-Chargers on NBC Sunday Night Football?
  • Unless it’s a life or death situation, I will never use a Bank of America ATM again. I can’t define the line between fair profit and greed, but as former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart replied when asked to define another kind of obscenity, “I know it when I see it.”
  • Like an early 20th century Nostradamus, H.L. Mencken wrote in the Baltimore Sun in 1920, “On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts’ desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Sadly, I did not make this list of the Fifty Most Influential Bloggers, but now I have a goal.

  1. Anonymous

    It’s too bad you don’t know anything about football. Here’s a lttle education for you.

    NFL rules state “no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches’ booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game.” They also say all video for coaching purposes must be shot from locations “enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead.”

    Straight out of the NFL handbook. What does it mean? Video taping IS ALLOWED, but only in designated areas: Belichik’s man was in a nondesignated area. Every other team tapes for signals and formations from the booth. That’s Bill’s only crime: location.

  2. fifteenkey

    Thank you, “Anonymous” for your courageous and objective comments. That was a pretty harsh penalty for “location.” Oh, and it’s “Belichick.”

  3. Anonymous

    Let me get this straight, Leo: So, Jeter is an over-actor (his special effects team really out did themselves last night – it really did look like he hit that homerun all himself) but you praise someone like Bonds. Interesting on how they are two great players that choose very different paths to win. Good to know that the “real” phony is Jeter.

E03259: Augustine of Hippo delivers a Latin sermon on the feast of *Cyprian (bishop and martyr of Carthage, S00411). Sermon 313B, preached in Carthage, at an unknown date between 391 and 430.

Augustine of Hippo, Sermon 313B

[Habitus eodem loco et die de martyris supradicti natale

'Preached in the same day and place on the birthday of the aforesaid saint']

1. Augustine expresses his delight because of the number of people who gathered at Cyprian's feast. They are probably more numerous than the crowd which witnessed Cyprian's death in the very same place.

2. He tells about martyrs as those who avoided nests of the impious and refers to Cyprian as:

Cypriano episcopo, doctore gentium, frustratore idolorum, proditore daemoniorum, lucratore paganorum, confirmatore christianorum, inflammatore martyrum ...

'Cyprian the bishop, the teacher of nations, the smasher of idols, the unmasker of demons, the winner of pagans, the strengthener of Christians, the man who fired the zeal of the martyrs ...'

4. Augustine is convinced that many of those who saw Cyprian's death came to believe in Christ.

HK's yuan rate falls to -3.725%

The Hong Kong Overnight Interbank Offered Rate for offshore yuan (CNH HIBOR) has plunged to -3.725 per cent, the first time it has quoted in negative territory.

Overnight implied deposit rates for offshore yuan fell to below -16 pct, at one point touching as low as -27 per cent, the sharpest fall on record, Reuters data showed on Thursday.

CNH HIBOR represents interest rates contributed by banks each day for reference to traders.

Negative rates could imply low demand for or excess supply of offshore yuan, but analysts who spoke to Reuters struggled to explain the phenomenon.

The onshore and offshore traded yuan have been steadily firming against the dollar in recent days, guided by a stronger fixing from China's central bank.

The HIBOR plunge comes on the same day the Financial Times reported that the Hong Kong unit of state-owned brokerage Guosen Securities had defaulted on an offshore yuan bond in Hong Kong.

‘The right book at the right time’: Why a 700-page economics tome is #1 on Amazon

Every once in a while a book, movie or piece of theater captures the Zeitgeist so completely that its popularity soars. Thomas Piketty's new book Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the latest example, and an unlikely one, as it is a 700-page economics book.

Published just weeks ago in the U.S., the book is now the Number 1 bestseller on Amazon.com. (Its author is a professor of the Paris School of Economics and it was first published in France.)

The primary theme of "Capital" is that income inequality is growing and will continue to grow due to the structure of capitalism in the 21st century.

James Pethokoukis, the money and politics columnist-blogger at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute, tells The Daily Ticker that Piketty's book is "the right book at the right time," because it focuses on an issue that concerns many Americans.

Consider these statistics:

Related: Thomas Piketty's Rx for income inequality: "You don't need to go all the way to socialism"

"The concern is if you have one small slice of the population grabbing all the gains and stagnation for everybody else," says Pethokoukis in the video above. "We've seen some stagnation recently. It doesn't mean we're going to have it in the future, but I think it's something we're going to have to pay attention to."

He says even if you don't agree with Piketty there are still policies that should be adopted to make sure the French economist's bearish scenario doesn't play out, and which could also benefit the economy.

Those policies, says Pethokoukis, should focus on increasing innovation, boosting employment and expanding the workforce, and enhancing education and job training skills.

Sabin Howard sculpting "Apollo" in his South Bronx studio, 2011

EDITOR’S NOTE: Work is now progressing on the National World War I Memorial, to be sited in Pershing Park in downtown Washington, D.C. In 2016, its design commission selected the competition-winning team: Joseph Weishaar, Sabin Howard, and GWWO Architects, who had proposed the concept “The Weight of Sacrifice.” For two years, sculptor Sabin Howard (b. 1963) has been creating “A Soldier’s Journey,” the memorial’s 65-foot-long bronze relief, which depicts not only soldiers, but also nurses, wives, and children. The project has taken him often to New Zealand’s Weta Workshop, far from his wife, Traci L. Slatton, who has been inspirational in helping formulate his ideas around the memorial’s narrative element.

The official groundbreaking occurred in 2017, and this February, Howard will make a formal presentation to the Commission of Fine Arts, which has oversight over such projects in Washington. The New York Academy of Art (Howard’s alma mater) will exhibit his preparatory materials March 21-23, and he will give a public lecture there on March 21. Also in March, a documentary film about Howard’s project will be released. For details, visit To mark this major commission, we invited Prof. Donald Kuspit to offer his thoughts on “A Soldier’s Journey” and its contexts.

A Soldier’s Journey: Sabin Howard’s World War I Memorial Monument

By Donald Kuspit

The following is a preview of the full article as seen in Fine Art Connoisseur (January/February 2018).

Surveying the war memorials in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital — among them the Iwo Jima Memorial, the American Navy Battle Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, all on the National Mall — one quickly realizes how unusual Sabin Howard’s “A Soldier’s Journey,” a World War I memorial destined to be placed in Pershing Square, is.

Initial third of composition: Family farewell and departure

Not only conceptually but physically unusual, exceptional, unconventional: Howard’s soldiers are “very close to human scale so that they’re accessible, and they’re also at almost street level so it’s not way, way up above people so people will reach out and touch the memorial,”* unlike the soldiers on the Iwo Jima Memorial. They rise above us, as though of another world, on a higher plane of existence — certainly in a separate space — than our own, rendering them emotionally as well as physically remote — literally untouchable. Our relation to them is peculiarly abstract rather than experientially concrete: we admire them, look up to them, but we are unable to engage them, share their experience, empathize with them, identify with them.

In contrast, we are participant observers when we view Howard’s memorial, not only because we are on the same level as his soldiers but because they are not larger than life and fixed in place forever, as the Iwo Jima soldiers are. They are immortal, above the fray, but Howard’s soldiers are mortal, still in the thick of the battle.

5 Stocks Under 10 Cents in 2021

5 Stocks Under 10 Cents in 2021

With the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning to subside, opportunities to trade penny stocks under 10 cents will open the door to anyone wanting to trade stocks.

Investors are always looking for the next best opportunity that will deliver the most profitable ROI. Nowadays, thanks to online brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD), eToro, and many more, engaging in such a process can be quite easy in comparison to a few years ago.

Anyone can become an investor, especially in what the stock market has defined as a penny stock.

Q2 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Read More

This has opened up the chance for students and underprivileged people to engage face-first with the ample monetary opportunities that the stock market can provide in 2021.

But, are penny stocks under 10 cents worth investing? What are the risks under this very volatile Covid environment? Anyone even mildly interested in this alternative should continue reading.

The Penny Stocks Potential

A host of well-established companies once traded for less than $1 a share, including Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), JD Sports Fashion PLC (LON:JD), and Monster Beverage Corp (NASDAQ:MNST). Those who invested in these companies during their trading days could have accrued substantial profit.

Penny stocks are generally highly volatile and riskier, but still represent the possibility of significant growth.

The appeal of a penny stock is easy to see, as if you have $1,000 to invest in the stock market, you can get a considerably higher percentage of shares in a smaller company whose shares trade for a few cents, rather than buying “blue chip” shares which can cost significantly more for an extremely small percentage of ownership.

Of course, if a penny stock becomes a blue chip, you could end up making big profits with the right trading strategy. Many pharmaceutical stocks that were considered small have reached blue-chip level.

Penny Stocks Under 10 To Watch

Company Name Market Cap
Mobil’nye Telesistemy
$9.6 billion
Banco Bradesco SA
Preference Shares
$54 million
$3.02 billion
Secure Energy Services Inc
$640.3 million
Annaly Capital
Management Inc
$13.01 billion

Stock Highlights

The first pool of penny stocks under 10 cents is Mobile TeleSystems –Mobil’nye Telesistemy PAO. The company is headquartered in Moscow, Russia, and primarily focuses on providing hardware and internet services for its expanding customer base.

A by-product of the privatization that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, the company announced significant growth before eventually hitting roughly 80 million subscribers.

This can be both an incentive and a deterrent for some, but it should be noted that the company does come with a plethora of attractive features, including a long-term analytic share price history which shows very little price volatility.

As for Banco Bradesco SA Preference Shares, it is a banking and financial services company headquartered in the state of São Paulo, Brazil with a cheap stock price of $5.52.

It is currently one of the hottest penny stocks under 10 cents, and anyone overlooking this opportunity could miss a profitable trade.

Banco Bradesco is the third-largest banking company in the country as well as in Latin America, and it is ranked as one of the top 50 most valuable banks in the entire world.

The opportunities to trade 10 cents penny stocks are arguably reflected on the prolific third-party investment it has received, with over fifteen hedge funds investing in Banco Bradesco in its fourth quarter of 2020.

VEON Ltd is a Dutch telecom company with a current stock price of just over $ 1.7. Despite its very small market price, it is actually one of the largest companies on the list with annual revenue of just under $8 billion in 2020.

With a current market capitalization of over $ 3 billion, VEON Ltd. is certainly an option for those looking for strong penny stocks.

Secure Energy Services Inc is certainly another good option for penny stocks under 10 cents. This is a public energy services company specializing in solutions to upstream oil and natural gas corporations in the Canadian hemisphere and the U.S.

Its headquarters are based in Alberta, Canada, and its current stock price is just over $4. The company is categorized into several segments, all encapsulating different services.

Annaly Capital Management Inc, currently priced at $9.3, seems to come with a surprising number of advantages for penny stocks when considering its rather low market price.

The company is currently one of the largest mortgage investment trusts in the state of Maryland, with its main headquarters stationed in New York City, U.S. Annaly Capital Management penny stocks under 10 cents provide an astounding dividend of over 9%.

This is a massive incentive for individuals looking for a potentially sustainable source of income in the future, as its shares have risen by over 50% in the last 12 months, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by over 5%.

What To Look For When Selecting Stocks

Product Viability

One of the key factors to invest in penny stock is to evaluate a company’s prospects. Thinking “what could go wrong?” before investing will give you an idea of what are the macro or internal issues that will affect the company’s ability to grow in the long term. Product viability is one key aspect in terms of, what could happen if an important patent expires? How could the firm react to a competitor launching a more innovative product? The more viable a product is the better chances of good long-term growth and short-term stock performance.

Potential Company Growth

Although product viability will let you gauge a company’s potential for growth, this is a metric that should be considered on its own. Within this aspect, potential investors should evaluate the firm’s business model, business strategy, and the actions and reputation of the CEO. Any of these three elements should be unique, difficult to imitate, or equal, and should have a direct impact on the brand’s value.

Other aspects to consider are the firm’s ability to innovate, research, and operational excellence. The harder it is for competitors to breach the company’s moat, the stronger the competitive advantage.

Assets vs. Liabilities

A firm’s balance sheet is essential to look at before investing. Assets could increase the value of an organization over time, while liabilities are debts that must be paid or goods and services obligations that must be fulfilled.

“The strength of a company’s balance sheet can be evaluated by three broad categories of investment-quality measurements: working capital, or short-term liquidity, asset performance, and capitalization structure,” according to Investopedia.

In this regard, you must do your research and evaluate the best balance sheet among your short-listed organizations.

Liquidity of the Market

Yes, liquidity matters. According to FS Investments, liquidity is “ the ease with which an investment can be bought or sold without significantly impacting the price of the security.” In this regard, those stocks that can be either bought or sold effortlessly are said to be “liquid” while the opposite means they are illiquid.

In this regard, private debt and private equity classes usually have fewer buyers and sellers than more-liquid investments “and tend to lack standardized terms, making it harder for investors to quickly analyze, value and, in turn, buy or sell them.”

Tips in Trading Penny Stocks

Only Trade Money You Can Afford to Lose

This is the golden rule for any stock under 10 cents and any stock in general. This rule is applied by people who are in the financial education world, and basically means –apart from the literal– if you are not willing to lose anything, do not invest.

Monitor the News Surrounding Your Stocks

Industry reports, breaking news, and any piece of information you can gather before investing in penny stocks is essential. Still, it is widely assumed that good data on economic growth or job creation are positive for stocks, but the price reaction will depend on the particular context. When traders are concerned about a possible rise in interest rates they may prefer these figures to be moderate rather than show great strength.

Be careful of using news too simplistically. In many cases, making a correct reading of certain news is more complex than thought and requires an extra vision of the market context.

Don’t Rely on Promotional Pumps

At times, prices increase simply because they are fashionable or because of future expectations with no real fundamentals. Euphoria causes you to buy based solely on the fact that the asset’s price is low or to sell because the price is high, without thinking that the low price can lead to even lower prices or higher prices can become even higher.

Steer Clear of Penny Stocks Listed in OTC

Several OTC-listed penny stocks are endorsed as the next big breakout. However, these large businesses that offer a near-guarantee of achievement start with a high-priced IPO, not on the penny stock market. Also, OTC stocks do not need to fulfill minimum standard requirements to remain on the exchange.

Only Trade With Volume

Penny stock requires you to trade with volume. According to Raging Bull, they have a volume of around thousands of shares a day, but penny stock firms with breaking news could have a high volume of millions of shares in a day.

“How do penny stocks make money for you? This is the time when you’re likely to cash in, and in the penny stock world, there’s some major event nearly every day.”

Never Over Trade – Buy Then Sell

The type of account you have, may or may not allow for day trading. For instance, if you are a starter, your account may enclose restrictions intended to stop you from advanced trading strategies “or investing in securities that are illiquid or extremely volatile.”

“If this is the case and you’re upset by it, then instead of viewing the restrictions as something negative, it might help to think of them as benevolent brakes –in place to keep you from causing yourself financial damage by overtrading without understanding the risks involved.”

Ensure Wins One Trade at a Time

Staying liquid is also a way to stay invested. You only have to take positions when the market situation requires it. Minimizing the turnover of the assets that make up the portfolio substantially minimizes management costs.

Further, controlling losses means that there is a limit in which they can be assumed to have a margin of recovery in the next trade. Compound interest, added over time, will allow you to achieve a higher return. An asset that is in a winning position can never lead to a losing position.

Best Online Brokers To Use When Trading

Online trading platforms are the primary investing tools users have within reach. Some of the best tools are scattered around the globe and can be used by users from every corner worldwide.

Degiro is great if you are going to put in little money, or you are going to leave it for a long time and not going to do constant operations. As it will ask for your data, you can do it in free mode, while it verifies the information. One of the drawbacks is that the price update is at night and does not allow you to see the price fluctuation in real time.

Capital.com is a broker that, unlike many, does not apply commissions to the operations you carry out. It is one of the most famous platforms, sporting several awards for its artificial intelligence management system used by roughly 788,000 clients.

Both eToro and Skilling allow you to copy other investors. As for eToro, the platform asks for a minimum investment amount of 200 euros. There are different conversation groups where users discuss upward trends, where to get more profitability, and what to look for.

Skilling explains the different hours of operations in the different markets, the cryptocurrencies that operate 24 hours a day, the schedules of the different world stock exchanges, and more. To start trading, you will have to deposit 250 euros.

Finally, Interactive Brokers is one of the most complete platforms, and it updates each value in real time. It operates in 135 markets, 33 countries, and 22 currencies. You have the possibility of making different accounts, individual, joint, family, fiduciary, and institutional. It also offers seminars to continue learning, an academy with courses and training.

Before launching into penny stock trading, make sure you answer yourself some key questions yourself.

Can you get rich off penny stocks?

The answer is “yes.” But most of the time, penny stocks can turn out to be quite risky. In fact, such actions can lead to many different types of scams. However, it is important to understand that penny stocks can earn you a lot of money, and this is the reason why most investors are always willing to invest in these stocks.

They believe that the advantages of stocks outweigh the disadvantages. Among courageous investors, these stocks have always been popular, and in simple words, they can offer impressive returns in a short amount of time.

Can I invest 500 dollars in stocks?

According to several expert stock traders, this amount is perfectly valid to begin our adventures in the world of the stock market. However, it is rather used to gain experience, not to try to get the most out of them.

In other words, you have a small amount to fine-tune your future investment moves, which is something very important since you cannot always hit the value that offers the best returns.

What is the most successful penny stock ever?

Several penny stocks have achieved incredible feats, but perhaps the most famous one is Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL). While the company remained away from the spotlight for many years, it traded at $80 cents per share back in the early 2000s. As one of the largest tech companies worldwide, the share has hit up to $360 with a return of 46,750%. Still, for every tech company whose penny stocks become a success, hundreds fail.

What is the most shorted stock right now?

According to Seeking Alpha, the most heavily shorted stock is currently Workhorse Group Inc (WKHS) with a 33% short interest. The firm is working on electric-powered trucks and utility vehicles “although still in the early stages of development ahead of a mass-market launch.”

“There is skepticism on whether the company will be able to meet production targets and if it has the necessary cash for the required investments.”

A Final Take

Penny stocks are well known for being extremely volatile and price fluctuations are very common, reaching around 20%. Therefore, it is essential to perform a fundamental analysis while following your risk management strategy before deciding whether to proceed with any trading decision.

Also, it is good practice to operate in industries where there is great market growth compared to industries that are in decline.

Penny stocks tend not to have much daily trading volume on the stock markets, therefore a large buy or sell order is often not needed to move the price. If many people are talking about a pea, in internet forums, for example, that could also influence the price.

It’s important not to get caught up in an investment just because you’ve had a big one-day move and are afraid of losing it. What goes up quickly can go down even faster, so make sure your reasons for investing in the stock market are correct.

Jessica Wu: Open Access Paths to Success

Actors Equity is opening its doors. I think this is one of the most exciting things that’s happening in my almost two decades as a Union member. It shifts the way people can become members. . . It is now OUR choice to become a member and that’s incredible.

Jessica Wu is an award-winning NYC-based playwright, director, songwriter, educator, and actor. Performance credits include the Broadway revivals of A Chorus Line and Miss Saigon, and she is the writer of numerous theatrical works including several full-length musicals – YOU, ME, I, WE (O’Neill Conference Semi-Finalist, Live & In Color Finalist, Winner of NAAP’s Discover New Musicals), and Poupelle of Chimney Town (debuting in Tokyo, Fall 2021; NYC, Summer 2022). In addition to her writing, Jessica is an Adjunct Theatre Professor at American University in Washington DC, and a Lyricist-Mentor with the Harvard-Radcliffe G&S Players. After spending several years running a Times-Sq non-profit theatre as Associate Artistic Director, Jessica is now is the owner/operator of her own consulting and development company Inspirate Creative.

More than writing, directing, dancing, or producing my own projects – I love helping other creatives find their voice.

In these past 2 decades, I’ve worked with a lot of creative people, on a lot of creative endeavors, in a lot of different stages of creative development. I’ve witnessed some incredible successes, but I’ve also seen innovative concepts fail to launch and brilliant ideas buried in mundane works.

I can 100% say: the most successful artists I’ve met are those who are truest to their own voice and the story they have to tell.

While this may seem simple to the non-artist – believe me, I know from first-hand experience how impossible it can be with hundreds of other people’s influences, opinions and demands (not to mention your own hyperactive ideas and intense self-doubt) swirling around you.

And, even though it is more-than-often single-minded, lonely work – I sincerely believe you shouldn’t have to be on that creative journey alone.

That’s where I come in.

I’m here to amplify your creativity and I can’t wait to connect with you.

Everything is storytelling and you are the storyteller. Your story and how you tell it has no choice but to be unique.

But I’ve worked with too many directors, producers, dramaturgs, and so-called ‘artist-mentors’ whose version of guidance is to impose their ideas, their ego, upon your work.

So, I’m here to help you find your voice. Not their voice. Not my voice.

Your voice.

As actor and delegate Jessica Wu (she/her) said, “To open up access to, especially, these communities who have been historically excluded from our industry through systemic racism, opening up that one pathway to be able to be seen, is a big step. It does not do anything to make more jobs, specifically for BIPOC artists. But it opens the door.”

Everything is connected. Everything, all these things, becomes a part of YOU. But then this journey does not stop. Some people stop from manifesting what they want because they understand the importance of training and then they let the training stop them…I’m not going to wait until I get the certification [to become] a certified coach. I know training is part of the journey…but that’s not a pre-requisite for me to do something.

I spent my mid-teens to mid-twenties dwelling in the “Woe is me” kind of emotional pain.

And I was living in those nightmares in my mind over and over again, making myself a victim of my memories.

Until one day it dawned on me: My past is just a story I tell myself.

💥I choose to move forward.
💥I choose to be led by love, not fear.
💥I choose to believe it before I see it.

Then one day I looked back and was surprised to find how grateful I am for my past:

🌱What kind of stories are you telling yourself?
🌱What kind of memories are you holding onto?
🌱What kind of future would you like to create?

Everything is connected, and things are always working. I just believe the universe has a way for me. That’s the belief behind every decision I’ve made and will make. I don’t wait to get ready. I’ve seen so many talented people stuck because they gave their power away to the training, thinking they have to have A before they can do B. That is a very common limiting belief. I got my first few paid acting gigs without any acting training. I signed my first high-ticket coaching client without a coaching certificate. I came to this country by myself with no family or friends, only two suitcases adding up to my body weight. All you need is you, your commitment, and willingness, and you will know what training or support you need and you’ll go get them along the way

Mike Turner: Giving Voice to Truth

Politics, to me, has nothing to do with Republicans and Democrats, and the left and the right –all these labels that we want to apply to people we don’t agree with us. I wanna focus on what we DO agree about; I want to build off that consensus about what we can do about this particular social issue.

Take one part blues, one part folk, one part country. Add a dash of Southern gospel, rock and jazz. Season with world-weary experience. You’ll have a taste of Mike Turner’s eclectic original music.

Raised outside Detroit in a family steeped in the traditional mountain music of West Virginia, Mike grew up listening to the diverse sounds of gospel quartets, classic country and Motown. A 30-year career in law enforcement gave him a perspective few encounter – a world populated with smugglers, gun runners and folks on the wrong side of the tracks, and the law.

In retirement, Mike picked up the ukulele and tenor guitar, wrote his first song and hasn’t looked back. He was named 2016 Traditional Gospel Entertainer of the Year by the Alabama Music Association, and 2017 New Gospel Entertainer of the Year by the North American Country Music Associations International (NACMAI).

Raised in a north shore town that once would have been called bucolic and now people call trendy, she married her high school sweetheart and her children were born in the same hospital as she was. She has deep roots here, and it gives her a history.
A strong sense of home which reflects in her fabulous stories.

Like most women, she wears a lot of hats. When she was in college, she planned on becoming a famous sportscaster. However, never being objective, she leaned more toward the publicity side of the business, doing work for local papers and local teams. But the plan took a detour and she found herself in the front a classroom, teaching English. Teaching was in her blood, and she was hooked.

SA meets online to discuss COVID-19’s impacts on campus

Tuesday, March 24, senators participated in the College of William and Mary’s weekly Student Assembly meeting in an atypical fashion. Rather than filing into Blow Hall Tuesday at 7 p.m as representatives did for the first half of the semester, senators and SA’s executive branch hosted the meeting through Zoom, an online video-conferencing software, because of the College’s suspension of on campus classes following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Zoom meeting was watched by 767 people on SA’s Facebook livestream.

At the meeting, senators passed two bills designed to assist the College during this interim period and addressed students’ questions regarding many administrative changes made by the College since its announcement of temporary protocols March 11. Student comments focused on refunds for room and board, assistance to workers, the College’s creation of an opt-in pass fail system and the College’s emergency response fund.

Senators pass the COVID-19 Response Resolution

Senators first passed the COVID-19 Response Resolution, sponsored by Sen. Will Wasson J.D. ’21, which called for a suspension of SA’s internal rules regarding attendance, quorum, committee requirements and executive privilege to speak during Senate meetings. Wasson said that this would allow for an easier transition to conducting SA business online and grant senators an improved ability to act swiftly in a time of crisis.

SA President Kelsey Vita ‘20 addressed many of these concerns and updated students on her conversations with the administration.

March 19, College President Katherine Rowe announced that campus was closed to students and that all students residing in their dorm rooms needed to move out by March 25. Some student activist groups, including the College’s Young Democratic Socialists of America and William and Mary Worker’s Union, expressed concern that this declaration put many students in vulnerable situations and that the College needed to help students secure temporary housing and other needs.

Many students attending the meeting expressed concerns over how the College was assisting these students, and vocalized confusion regarding which students could access the university’s emergency funds. Vita said that she has participated in extensive meetings with the administration discussing these concerns.

“We know that this has been a really scary time for students,” Vita said. “Honestly, getting students safe and in a secure place by Wednesday has been our biggest focus for the past few days. It’s been basically what we have been dedicating our efforts to … I’ve been talking to the Dean of Students and Vice President Ambler every day just to make sure that all of these students who are still in dorms right now do have someplace to be come Wednesday … We have just been working to make sure that each individual student has been contacted and that they are given resources to be somewhere come Wednesday … From what I have been told, this was today and yesterday, is that every student on that list has been called and they’ve worked on  a plan together so that they do have some place to be on Wednesday.”

Vita urged that all students who had not been contacted should reach out to her personally so she could get in contact with the Dean of Students Office and verify that those students did receive resources and assistance. She added that any student still on campus who has not contacted the Dean of Students Office will not be displaced until they have housing to access.

“We were pretty nervous kind of getting these emails from a lot of different students,” Vita said. “And I understand that a lot of students who filled out the form that went to the Dean of Students Office did not hear back for a few days and that’s scary. I don’t think that should have happened … I understand this is such a scary time and to not hear back for a few days especially when everything else is going on, that’s really scary.”

“I understand this is such a scary time and to not hear back for a few days especially when everything else is going on, that’s really scary.”

Vita also thanked student organizers who put together a student W&M Support Network Resource spreadsheet to assist students looking for housing and resources at this time. SA Vice President Ellie Thomas ’20 also encouraged students and alumni to make donations to the HEART Fund or the International Student Scholarship Fund, which provide emergency aid to students in need.

Public commentators expressed confusion over who could access the emergency funding and questioned whether that funding only applied to students who were on campus or could be provided to other students struggling financially.

Vita explained that the fund supports all students needing financial assistance at this time and is not exclusively reserved for students on campus. She stressed that this form is not just for housing needs but can apply to other financial needs.

“The way it was explained to me is that when a student fills out the form that goes to the Dean of Students that they need emergency funding, and that’s not just for housing, it’s like you know, I can’t afford food for the next two weeks, I need transportation, any of those needs would qualify,” Vita said.

Senators approve the Emergency Pandemic Relief Act

After this discussion, senators passed the Emergency Pandemic Relief Act, sponsored by Senate Chair Anthony Joseph ’21. The act contributes $35,000 in emergency funding to the Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs, matching the total that the administration has spent so far on emergency response for students. Twenty thousand dollars will be given to the administration immediately, and the second tier of funding, $15,000, will be available to the administration if they exhaust the first tier. Senators allocated this amount because the administration suggested it would be the amount needed to adequately respond to students.

Vita said that she would be willing to exercise her executive power to call a special emergency session of the Senate sometime in the next few days if the funds were depleted before next week’s meeting.

Senators debate interim pass/fail policy, administrative rebates

Another point brought up by both senators and members of the public was the issue of the College’s interim grading policy, which allows students greater flexibility in taking spring semester classes on a pass/fail basis.

Several students argued that this policy is unfair since it would end up favoring students with more resources at home. Additionally, there were concerns about how graduate schools and future employers would view students who chose to take classes pass/fail when they still had the option to take standard letter grade courses.

Sen. Angela Tiangco ’20 also urged senators to keep pushing for the Universal Pass system when dealing with administration.

“Having a note is only useful to the extent where the grad school would be accepting of it,” Tiangco said. “The issue with not having a universal pass policy is the fact that opt-in makes it an option for people with more resources to do better than those with less resources. Regardless of anyone’s situation, we should not be putting people in that position. Students should not have to fight to explain their own situations, especially in a global pandemic …”

“The issue with not having a universal pass policy is the fact that opt-in makes it an option for people with more resources to do better than those with less resources. Regardless of anyone’s situation, we should not be putting people in that position.

Many members of the public voiced displeasure with the administration’s decision to refund most residential students $1,200, which they saw as a partial and insufficient rebate. The College said that this decision stemmed from their desire to support staff members during this time, but students commented that other Virginia public schools had provided more in rebates to their residential students. Senators also expressed concerns about not getting a prorated refund for parking passes.

Tara McLaughlin ’23 asked why the College could not both support its workers and refund students when it is trying to reach a $1,000,000,000 endowment. Chief of Staff Abhi Chadha ’20 pointed out that donations within the endowment are frequently earmarked for specific purposes.

“When we refer to the endowment, which, there is currently a drive, of course, for it to reach a billion dollars,” Chadha said. “The way the endowment works is when the money is raised, it tends to be automatically allocated to various causes already. There is very little in what we call unrestricted funding, which can go really anywhere, which is why so much of the last few weeks, the discussions around helping specific students have been coming from individual funds that the Office of Vice President of Student Affairs raises.”

Students expressed concerns about the lack of information they have received regarding the situation for university employees, including housing and maintenance staff and dining hall employees. Kat Baganski ’21, a member of the William & Mary Workers Union, said she wanted to be updated on whether the College planned to keep paying them their full salaries, and whether they were considered essential staff who should still report to work.

“Specifically, our maintenance and housekeeping staff get a lot of mixed messages, they’re told they’re essential, they’re told they’re not essential, but no matter what, they’re the ones who are coming in in these conditions and working,” Baganski said. “If William & Mary is stating they’re not going to give us our full prorated refunds because they’re supporting workers, I would like to know what actions they are taking to support their workers … there hasn’t really been much clarity on that front.”

Vita clarified that any student employees who were financially impacted by the College’s recent decisions regarding the pandemic could apply for compensation through the same funding process that covered students needing money for housing and transportation.

Sen. Derek Kernus ’14 M.B.A. ’20 urged his fellow senators to focus their attention on the aspects of tuition and fees for which they will not receive any services during the rest of the remote semester. These payments include fees such as the athletics fee for teams that will not be playing their spring seasons. Kernus suggested that the administration should look through the breakdown of student fees and decide which ones should be refunded to students, since they are no longer on campus.

“I want to comment that I think the administration, people should be talking about returning part of these student fees,” Kernus said. “Because my first thought when I saw what was being returned … the fact that there wasn’t anything out there specifically about the athletics fee, when we’re not going to be able to go to baseball games, and we already paid for those tickets … that whole season was cancelled, and I don’t see why they get to keep that money. And I know that there are other fees that should be returned as well. That’s just the easy one that comes right off the top of my head.”

McLaughlin asked why SA could not use a bulk of its $500,000 budget toward supporting the response to the pandemic. Vita and Chadha explained that most of SA’s budget has already been allocated toward student organizations, and that the Senate only had control over the Reserves, which will support SA’s $35,000 contribution.

At the end of the meeting, Vita expressed her gratitude for the senators for working closely with the administration while handling their own transition to online classes.

“I just want to say thank you to all of you that we’re still doing the work that we are doing although we’re not physically on campus and I know that this is a really scary, stressful time.” Vita said. “Something that I have been thinking about, everyone here is probably handling their own life stress because we are in an international pandemic, and I am sure you all are thinking about your own safety and keeping your own families secure, and I just appreciate that you’re still making the time to do this job because it really is important for our community and our students.”

Online classes stimulate Zoom fatigue in students

Zoom fatigue. That’s right, now you have a scientific explanation to explain why you are tired in class. Some readers may be relieved to know that they are not the only ones who have noticed this situation; others, and maybe some skeptical professors, may think it convenient that it is now possible to tire from one of the few methods of education available this semester. Regardless of which camp you happen to fall into, I hope to offer some form of public awareness addressing this phenomenon. I believe it is something that the entire College of William and Mary community should keep in mind as we semi-proceed with online courses in the coming months.

So, why does Zoom make you tired? According to Bond University professors Olivia Bauman and Libby Sander, it is because “[p]eople feel like they have to make more emotional effort to appear interested, and in the absence of many non-verbal cues, the intense focus on words and sustained eye contact is exhausting.” Think about it. On Zoom, you can’t lean in to show interest in your conversation with a friend. You can’t stand up and move around if you’re trying to tell a story. You can’t even dart your eyes around the room to avoid direct contact, if socializing isn’t really your arena. Instead, you are effectively trapped in front of your screen, forced to make more physical efforts to display interest when participating in class discussions or listening to professors. Even worse — according to “National Geographic” — “If the video quality is poor, any hope of gleaning something from minute facial expressions is dashed.”

Many professors are now requesting that students keep their cameras on during the entire class time, either to measure their students’ participation in class or in a kind-hearted attempt to re-create the normalcy of seeing other faces during classes. While no sane person would dare tell a professor it is easier to teach to a screen full of names rather than faces, it is worth noting for professors that students may have more difficulty in the coming months with active participation and attentiveness in classes due to Zoom fatigue, especially if they face a gauntlet of multiple Zoom classes in a row. But wait, you may say, don’t professors also have to endure the same number of Zoom classes as their students, or possibly even more? Quite correct, but there is a problem notorious among college students that many professors seem to have a handle on: sleep, or a lack thereof.  With a large number of courses available to learn from one’s own dorm or bedroom, heavy limits on social gatherings, and an increasing possibility of tiredness based on one’s Zoom load, college students will reclaim what has been lost to us for so many years: sleep. Unfortunately, due to the factors listed above, we are not bound to develop healthier sleeping habits as a result of adjusting our routines. If anything, the lack of an ability to maintain our regular daily routines will only further confuse our sleeping schedules. After sitting through multiple Zoom classes in a row, possibly in the comfort of our own dorm or bedroom, it is very possible we may only be a few short steps away from relieving our exhausted bodies. Can college students really be expected to deal effectively with such pressures for a full semester?

I am not suggesting that the College overhaul its revised system of course delivery. I do not envy them the task of having to carefully calibrate a plan for the whole community to return to campus safely. However, just as we all are reminded to keep track of our healthy behaviors, we should all also prepare ourselves in the future for the possibility of Zoom fatigue. Likewise, students should not be heavily penalized for failing to give their undivided attention in class from time to time. We care just as much as our professors about our education, but we are not tireless machines.

Florida Panthers

Preseason No. 5: Florida Panthers 3, Tampa Bay Lightning 2

Lightning panthers preseason
The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning mix it up in the third period of their preseason game Tuesday night in Tampa. Florida’s Noel Acciari can be seen on the ice in obvious pain after apparently injuring his left shoulder. // @GeorgeRichards

ORLANDO — It may have been the preseason, but it looks like the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning still have a big-time dislike of one another.

Although both sides played nice for the first period, when Sam Bennett charged goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy playing the puck behind the net, well, game on.

The intensity of the game certainly ramped up and, despite being played on the ad-filled ice of the ECHL Solar Bears, felt real.

It was not of course.

Florida’s 3-2 win at Amway Center — thanks to two goals by Owen Tippett and some strong net-work from Spencer Knight — will not be recorded in the annals of history although the nice crowd which showed up for the first of three exhibition games between the two certainly got their money’s worth.

”Old-time hockey,’’ Joel Quenneville quipeed.

The two teams still have two exhibition games remaining to wrap up the preseason: Thursday in Tampa and Saturday night in Sunrise.

Then, the real stuff starts as Pittsburgh comes to town next Thursday night.

Florida will visit Tampa Bay on Oct. 19.

“I think there was some carryover and you don’t get that rivalry until you get a playoff series and we had an outstanding, very competitive series with them,” Quenneville said.

The Panthers got off to a hot start and took a 1-0 lead 5:30 in on a nice shot from Frank Vatrano — his fourth of the preseason but first since he got a hat trick against Nashville in the double-header a few weeks back.

Florida’s vaunted first power play unit got on the ice for the first time this preseason later in the period with Sam Reinhart getting a great look before both he and Sasha Barkov failed to get anything past Vasilevskiy as they chopped at a loose puck on the doorstep.

Knight got the start after Sergei Bobrovsky stayed back in South Florida for the birth of his first child.

Knight, who lost to the Lightning in Game 6, looked sharp in net throughout and did not let one through until there was 3:12 left in the second when Pierre-Edouard Bellemare went top shelf on Tampa’s 22nd shot of the night.

“That was a fun game and I thought it was a good win even if it was a preseason game,” Knight said.

“It was good to play hockey again. I wasn’t thinking about (the bad blood), I was just thinking about winning.”

That came after the Bennett-Vasilevskiy brouhaha in which Tippett ended up trading punches with Corey Perry. Bennett took a spot next to him in the penalty box for charging and Knight faced a stiff test moments later when Juho Lammikko came in as well.

The Lightning’s power play now had 1:38 of 5-on-3 play.

Knight was terrific in holding off the charge.

Coaches love to say goalies are a team’s best penalty killer and Knight certainly was right then.

Bennett and Boris Katchouck went at it to kick off the third period — it was over quickly — before everyone grabbed a partner.

Noel Acciari appeared to have injured his left arm or shoulder before he hit the ice with Patrick Maroon.

He skated off the ice with assistance and went directly to the training room.

Quenneville said he would be out “a while.”

Moments later, Tippett gave the Panthers the lead back as he walked in on Vasilevskiy and ripped one past him.

Tippett then made it 3-1 midway through the period with his second goal.

“The intensity certainly built up in the playoffs last year  and I know it’s preseason but it’s fun hockey to play,” Tippett said.

“I think there was some carryover and you don’t get that rivalry until you get a playoff series and we had an outstanding, very competitive series with them,” coach Joel Quenneville said.
