Gender-Based Violence: Challenging Impunity
From Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide collection, lesson plan 2 of 5
Grade Levels: High School (grades 11-12), Community College, Youth Development Organizations
Time: 90 minutes or two 50-minute class periods + assignments
Subject Areas: Women's Studies, Social Studies, Civics, Global Studies, Media Studies, Health, English Language Arts
Purpose of the Lesson:
Although it is widespread, violence against women and girls goes widely unreported due to factors such as fear of retribution, shame, stigma, lack of economic resources, inadequate social services, ineffective legal systems, and concern for children (including fear for their children's safety and losing custody and access if they choose to leave). Few countries provide appropriate training for the police and judicial and medical staff who are the first responders for women and girls during and after violent events. As a result, victims of violence are left vulnerable to further abuse from the systems and institutions that are meant to protect them, and the perpetrators are often left unpunished and free to continue perpetrating violence.
This lesson will examine the global crisis of gender-based violence, the culture of impunity that surrounds it, and the impact it has on our own communities. Through the activities, students will be challenged to consider the factors that contribute to violence against women and girls and how they can contribute to local and international efforts to eradicate it.
Through this lesson students will:
- Consider the benefits and consequences of taking a stand against an injustice;
- Learn the definition of the word impunity and the meaning of the phrase a culture of impunity, and discuss the contributing factors that allow a culture of impunity to develop;
- Identify the location of Sierra Leone on a map and understand the social and political context that has shaped the culture of impunity and violence in that country;
- Develop a working definition for the term gender-based violence and consider the global culture of impunity in relation to violence against women;
- Work in groups to analyze a scenario that illustrates an example of gender-based violence and imagine how their subject's story would play out in two different environments;
- Examine the root causes and impact of gender-based violence in their community and develop a strategy to address it; and
- Understand the roles that men and boys can play in eradicating gender-based violence in their families and communities.

Time: 30 minutes
You will need: Student Handout A: Sierra Leone in Context, whiteboard/blackboard, dry-erase markers/chalk, kraft paper, washable markers, medium-sized Post-It notes, a wall map of the world with country names (free printable maps are available here)
Goal: Students will consider the benefits and consequences of taking a stand against an injustice, and how these factors might affect their own choices. They will learn the definition of the word impunity and the meaning of the phrase a culture of impunity and discuss the contributing factors that allow a culture of impunity to develop. In preparation for viewing the Gender-Based Violence in Sierra Leone film module, students will identify the location of Sierra Leone on a map and understand the social and political context for the events depicted in the film.
Part 1: To Speak Out or Not to Speak Out
- Divide the class into groups of three to five students and provide each group with a large sheet of kraft paper, markers, and Post-It notes.
- Give the students the following instructions:
- Think of a time when you (or someone you know) successfully spoke out in order to right a wrong or to protect yourself or someone else.
- Select a Post-It note (one for each student in the group) and write down all of the words you can think of to describe how you felt about yourself or the other person who took a stand.
- Discuss your responses as a group, then share your words with the class.
- Have each group hang their kraft paper on the wall and draw a horizontal line across the middle and mark points along the line numbered one to five.
- Tell the students that this graph represents the likelihood that a person would speak out in a given situation (1=least likely; 5=most likely). In this first scenario, they — or the person they knew — spoke out, so have the students place all of their Post-Its on number five.
- Following the pattern of the first question, ask students in each group to write the letter corresponding to each of the following scenarios and their responses on a Post-It note and place the completed Post-It on the area of the graph that indicates how likely they would be to speak out.
- Imagine that you spoke out about an injustice but nothing was done and the injustice was not corrected. Write on your Post-It note all of the words that you can think of to describe how you might feel. Place your Post-It on the graph in the area that indicates how likely you would be to speak out again.
- Imagine that you knew before speaking out that your actions would probably not be successful or that no one would support you. How would you feel about taking action? Write on your Post-It note all of the words that you can think of to describe how you might feel. Place your Post-It note on the graph in the area that indicates how likely you would be to speak out.
- Imagine that you knew that you would be blamed, bullied, or shunned if you came forward.
- Imagine that you found out that your family would suffer.
- Imagine that you knew it was likely that you or the person you were helping would be in more danger as a result.
- After completing the activity, discuss the results as a class, including the placement of the Post-its for each question and what can be inferred from the results.
- Record the student feedback for reference later in the lesson.
Part 2: Culture of Impunity
Introduce the word impunity to the class. Have a student volunteer look up definitions in two or more sources and share their findings with the class. (Example: When people are able to commit crimes and/or violate the human rights of others without facing consequences.)
Based on these definitions, ask students what is meant by the phrase a culture of impunity. (Example: The term culture of impunity refers to a situation in which people in a society have come to believe that they can do whatever they want without having to face any penalties or punishments and victims of those actions are denied basic rights and/or protections.)
Variation: Students can use a word map to process their responses.
- Ask the students to identify which, if any, of the examples from the previous activity they think are indicative of a culture of impunity and why.
- Ask students to share possible examples of impunity that they may have seen in the news, learned about in class, or experienced in their own lives. Examples could include the following:
- Prior to the abolition of slavery, many states allowed slaveowners to treat enslaved people in any way they saw fit. No matter how horrendously owners treated, tortured, or killed slaves, the law would ignore the actions of the perpetrators and the victims had no legal rights or protections.
- Since the digital revolution, there has been a major shift in the way that music is acquired. As of 2009, only 37 percent of music acquired in the United States was paid for. From 2004 through 2009 alone, approximately 30 billion songs were illegally downloaded.
- Using the students' examples as a guide, have the class work in pairs (Think-Pair-Share) and brainstorm a list of factors that might contribute to the creation of a culture of impunity.
- Complete the discussion with the following questions:
- What impact would a culture like this have on an individual's ability to feel empowered to speak out?
- What role do you think race, poverty, and gender might play in an individual's ability to achieve justice?
- Ask the students to keep this activity in mind as they watch the film and tell them that they will revisit their work later in the lesson.
Part 3: Sierra Leone in Context
- In preparation for viewing the film module, ask a volunteer to locate Sierra Leone on a wall map.
Provide students with the one-page fact sheet Student Handout A: Sierra Leone in Context. Have them read the fact sheet and discuss briefly with a partner.
Variation: This handout can be provided in advance of the lesson for students to review as homework.
Class time: 10-15 minutes
You will need: Pens/pencils and writing paper, LCD projector or DVD player, the Gender-Based Violence in Sierra Leone film module, Student Handout B: Film Module Screening Guide, Gender-Based Violence Glossary
- Distribute Student Handout B: Film Module Screening Guide and instruct students to take notes during the screening, using the worksheet as a guide. Students may also need a copy of the Gender-Based Violence Glossary for reference while viewing the film.
- Variation: The questions from Student Handout B can be projected or written on the board and reviewed briefly before viewing the film module to save paper.
Time: 45-50 minutes
You will need: Student Handout C: Gwen's Story, Student Handout D: Representative Gwen Moore and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), whiteboard/blackboard, dry-erase markers/chalk, pens/pencils, writing paper
Goal: Students will discuss the film module and create a working definition of gender-based violence. They will work in groups to analyze a scenario that illustrates an example of gender-based violence and imagine how their subject's story would play out in two different environments. Finally, they will consider the status of gender-based violence in the United States, how it impacts their own community, and their role and responsibility in addressing this issue.
Part 1: Discussion Questions
- Begin by discussing the Gender-Based Violence in Sierra Leone film module and ask for volunteers to share their notes and quotes from the screening guide. Use the following questions to guide the class discussion:
- What did you think of the film? Was there anything that surprised you?
- How do you feel about Fulamatu's story?
- In addition to the physical violence Fulamatu experienced, what other forms of violence was she exposed to?
- What role does Fulamatu's gender play in her story? Based on what you saw in the film, do girls and women have equal status with boys and men in Fulamatu's community?
- In the film, Amie Kandeh says, "When you look at the root cause of violence against women, it is about power and control." What does this statement mean to you? Do you agree with her?
- Why did Kandeh work with the International Rescue Committee to establish the Rainbo Centers? How does her personal experience inform her work? Why do you think she is able to stand up against an issue that few speak about openly in her community?
- Why do you think Kandeh refers to her clients at the Rainbo Center as "survivors" instead of "victims"?
- Kandeh says that "the IRC (International Rescue Committee) has responded to about 10,000 sexual assault survivors" since the program began in Sierra Leone and "there's not even one percent of those cases that have been convicted." What are some of the barriers that get in the way of bringing perpetrators to justice?
- What did the police do to investigate Fulamatu's allegations? If you were the police, how would you have handled the investigation?
- In what ways does our definition of impunity connect with Fulamatu's story? How did the responses of her family, the police, and the community contribute to the culture of impunity?
- What impact did the culture of impunity in Freetown have on Fulamatu's choices and opportunities?
- How might the outcome of Fulamatu's story have been different if there was a woman on the staff of the Family Support Unit? Would that have had an impact?
- What role should the government play in protecting women against violence? What roles should the police and justice system play?
- What parallels, if any, do you see in the treatment of women and girls in Sierra Leone and the treatment of women and girls in the United States?
- What impact, if any, do you think factors such as race and economic status have on violence against women and girls in the United States?
Part 2: Gender-Based Violence
- This lesson plan is titled "Gender-Based Violence: Challenging Impunity." Ask the students what they think this term means based on what they saw in the film, and brainstorm a definition as a class. Have a volunteer look up additional formal definitions for the term and ask students to further refine the definition as needed.
Introduce the following information:
- Worldwide, gender-based violence kills and disables as many women between the ages of 15 and 44 as cancer, traffic accidents, malaria, and war combined. (Source: UN Women: Say NO -- UNiTE to End Violence against Women)
Ask students: What does this statement mean to you? Have them summarize this information in their own words and share with a partner. (Variation: Print out multiple copies of the quote and have students read it quietly, write their responses, then pass it on to another student. Repeat this process two or three times before discussing their responses as a class.)
- Share the Gender-Based Violence Glossary with the students and use the following prompts to guide a discussion or have students make a brief journal entry based on one or more of the questions:
- What do you think about this information?
- How does this information connect with our definition of gender-based violence?
- How was this information reflected in the film?
- In what way, if any, do you think violence against men is included in gender-based violence? Why or why not? (Explain that, although it is far less frequent than violence against women, gender-based violence has its roots in power and control, and many men and boys have been the victims of gender-based violence perpetrated by women or a male partner.)
- In what ways, if any, does this information connect to our discussion of a culture of impunity?
Part 3: Gwen's Story
- Divide the class into groups of three to four students and provide each group with Student Handout C: Gwen's Story.
- Have the groups review Gwen's story and consider how it would play out in two different environments: 1) Fulamatu's community in Freetown; 2) A community in the United States.
- Using the prompts in Student Handout C: Gwen's Story as a guide, each group will write two endings for their subject's story, one for each scenario. When complete, the groups will share their stories with the class, followed by a class discussion.
- Reveal and discuss the origin of Gwen's story by either using Student Handout D: Representative Gwen Moore and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) or reading the description below:
"Gwen's Story" is based on the experience of Congresswoman Gwen Moore, representative for Wisconsin's Fourth Congressional District. She is the first African American and second woman to be elected to Congress from the state of Wisconsin and has served since 2005.
In the mid-1970s, Rep. Moore was attacked and raped by her friend in his car. She said that he later challenged her story in court on the grounds that she was dressed provocatively and had a child out of wedlock. She remembers, "I was literally on trial that day." Rep. Moore said that her rapist was found not guilty and she was fired from her job as a file clerk for not calling in to work the day after the attack.
Rep. Moore shared her story on the floor of the House of Representatives in March 2012 in support of renewal of the Violence Against Women Act. She stressed that the attack happened almost 20 years before the Violence Against Women Act had been passed into law in September 1994 and that the outcome of her story might have been different if current laws providing stronger protection and support for victims of gender-based violence had been in place.
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was the first major U.S. law to help government agencies and victim advocates work together to fight domestic violence, sexual assault, and other types of violence. It created new punishments for certain crimes and started programs to prevent violence and help victims. Since the law was passed, there has been a 51 percent increase in reporting of domestic violence by women and a 37 percent increase in reporting by men. The number of individuals killed by an intimate partner has decreased by 34 percent for women and 57 percent for men.
Despite this progress there is still work to do. In the United States today, a woman is abused -- usually by her husband or partner -- every 15 seconds, and is raped every 90 seconds and only about 3 percent of rapists ever serve a day in jail.
- Complete the lesson with a discussion, using the prompts below as a guide. (Students can also respond to one or more of these questions in their class journal.)
- Were you surprised by this information? In what way?
- What does this suggest about the status of women in the United States?
- What role do power and control play in gender-based violence?
- How does this information connect with what we have learned about gender-based violence worldwide?
- In what ways, if any, does this information connect to our discussion of a culture of impunity?
- What responsibility do we as individuals have to address gender-based violence in our communities?
- What role do you think men can play in eradicating violence against women and girls? What role can women play? How can we work together to address this issue?
Select one or more of the following assignments to complete the lesson:
Assignment 1. What would our Rainbo look like?
Share the following information with the class: Gender-based violence is a global problem and even our country struggles with a culture of impunity. In the United States, only about 3 percent of rapists ever serve a day in jail.
- Imagine that Amie Kandeh asked you to open a Rainbo Center in your community to address gender-based violence in the United States.
- Who would you work with?
- What services would you provide?
- How would you reach out to families, men, youth, and community leaders?
- How would you involve law enforcement?
- What legal support would you provide for the survivors?
- What challenges would you expect to face?
- What outcome would you hope to achieve?
Assignment 2. A Letter of Solidarity
Instruct students to write a letter of solidarity to Fulamatu describing the effect that her story and her choice to speak out has had on them. What impact has her action had on breaking the silence and the global culture of impunity surrounding gender-based violence? (For example, even though her perpetrator was set free, her story has reached young men and women around the world.) Next, have students research current events and news stories related to this issue and identify an individual or community that has experienced gender-based violence. Have students write a second letter of solidarity to them, sharing what they have learned about the importance of breaking the silence through Fulamatu's story.
Assignment 3. Say No to Violence!
Have students research the impact of gender-based violence in their community and the services and supports that are available to survivors. Working in groups, students should develop a plan of action to mobilize their community and become part of the campaign to eradicate violence against women.
- Instruct students to work in groups to create their own multimedia "Say No to Violence" toolkits, including a Google Map detailing local programs and organizations in their community and the services they offer.
- When developing their campaigns, students should consider how they can galvanize support from a broad range of audiences. How will they reach out to students, adults, women and girls, men and boys, etc.? Recommend that students visit the White Ribbon Campaign and Man Up Campaign for information and resources on how men and women can work together to end gender-based violence:
- For more ideas, groups can research and connect with the UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign, which was launched in 2009 by UN Women to engage people from all walks of life, online, and on the ground to end gender-based violence in all its forms.
Activity 1: Is all violence created equal?
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was enacted in 1994 to recognize the pervasive nature of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to provide comprehensive, effective, and cost-saving responses to these crimes. VAWA programs were created to give law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges the tools they need to hold offenders accountable and keep communities safe while supporting victims. But if violence, assault, and stalking are already crimes, is it necessary to have a specific law that targets violence against women? Why or why not?
- Instruct students to research the history and content of the Violence Against Women Act and how its provisions relate to existing criminal laws.
- Ask students to compile data on the impact of the VAWA since it was enacted.
- Explain that there is an ongoing debate about how and if the VAWA should continue to be funded, and if it should be expanded to include groups such as undocumented immigrants and members of the LGBT community.
- Following their research, have students engage in a formal debate about the issue. Education World offers a selection of debate resources that provide guidelines and rules for classroom debates.
Activity 2: Why should boys and men care about ending gender-based violence?
Violence prevention requires a change in the social conditions that make violence normal and acceptable. Men and boys receive messages about relationships, violence, and power every day, and they also experience different forms of oppression: racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, etc. Men also enjoy certain privileges in institutions established by sexism. Generally speaking, men have greater access to resources and opportunities and are in a position to influence large social structures and institutions. As a result, they can play an important role in preventing violence against women.
- Instruct students to research the root causes of violence against women and girls and examine the unequal power relations between men and women that lead to gender-based violence.
- Have them identify negative consequences of violence against women in the lives of boys and men.
- For additional resources and lesson plans on this topic, refer to the following websites:
Activity 3: Journalism vs. Activism
Nicholas Kristof actively participates in Fulamatu's story, even helping the authorities track down the accused child-rapist. He considers the journalistic ethics of his involvement and concludes that he is comfortable with his decision.
- Have students view the entire Gender-based Violence segment from Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
- Ask students to consider the following questions: What do you think about Nicholas Kristof's decision? Is there a distance that journalists should maintain in order to remain objective? Is it more ethical to simply observe and report or to actively participate?
- Share The Guardian article and photo essay, The Bystanders with your students and discuss what a journalist's responsibility is when reporting a story.
- Have students select a photojournalist featured in the story and consider if they agree or disagree with the journalist's decision.
- Ask them to draft a letter from perspective of the journalist to one of their photograph's subjects explaining their decision: why they feel that it was the correct choice or what they wish they had done differently. The completed letters can be presented as a monologue.
Activity 4: The silent war against women and girls
Violence against women and girls was a hallmark of the brutal civil war in Sierra Leone but these atrocities are not unique to this conflict. Rape has long been used as a weapon of war, and violence against women during or after armed conflicts has been reported in every war-zone. Between 250,000 and 500,000 women were raped during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and between 20,000 and 50,000 women were raped during the conflict in Bosnia in the early 1990s. In 2009, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution classifying rape as a war tactic and posing grave threat to international security. The resolution describes sexual violence as a deliberate weapon that humiliates, dominates, instills fear and worsens conflict situations by forcibly dispersing or relocating communities.
- Ask students to consider why violence against women and girls is especially prevalent in war zones.
- Divide the class into groups of 3-5 students and instruct each member of the group research a different contemporary conflict and the role that gender-based violence plays in it. Each student should identify root causes of the violence, how violence against women was used as a tool of war, and what the long-term impact was/is for the communities that were affected.
- Once each member of the group has completed their individual research, have them compare their results with their partners and identify areas of commonality.
- Groups can present their collective findings as a multimedia presentation including their research, photo-essays, video footage, audio clips, and infographics using the following websites as resources:
Activity 5: Students Rebuild!
Have your students participate in the global campaign to improve the health, opportunities, and safety for youth around the world. Students Rebuild is an initiative of the Bezos Family Foundation that mobilizes young people worldwide to "connect, learn and take action on critical global issues." The program's goal is "to activate our greatest creative resource—students—to catalyze powerful change. Working together, we identify the need, create the challenge, and forge strong partnerships. Then, we provide the tools and support to ensure our collective efforts are sustainable—now and into the future."
Students Rebuild has joined the One Million Bones project in a global effort to cover the National Mall in Washington D.C. in 2013 with 1,000,000 handmade bones as a visible petition against humanitarian crises. Students Rebuild is challenging students worldwide to make bones, as a symbol of solidarity with victims and survivors of ongoing conflict. Each bone made generates $1 from the Bezos Family Foundation for CARE's work in conflict-affected regions, up to $500,000! CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.
Students can speak out against the violence in Sierra Leone, Burma, Syria or other struggling regions by joining Students Rebuild and bringing the One Million Bones project to their community. Students can learn more about CARE's work in the DRC and in Somalia.
Students can connect directly with fellow students across the world to learn more about the causes and of the ongoing conflict and the challenges youth are currently experiencing by joining Interactive Videoconferences where they will see and speak to the students of ETN, a CARE supported vocational school in eastern DRC. Or they can participate in webcasts to connect directly with students and aid workers in the DRC. Learn more and sign up for IVCs and webcasts.
Activity 6. Further Discussion: Hillary Clinton draws a parallel between the attitudes toward and treatment of women around the world today and the experience of African American slaves during the height of the slave trade explaining that both communities were not seen as "fully human" they were both "some other kind of being." Have students view the entire Gender-Based Violence segment from Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide and discuss the following:
- What do you think she means by this statement?
- Do you agree? Why or why not?
- What similarities do you think she sees in both communities' experiences?
- Is this an accurate parallel to draw? Why or why not?

Gender-Based Violence in Sierra Leone


text:
James Earle Fraser used a buffalo
and an indian head as his design for the Buffalo nickel to ensure that the coin would
never be mistaken as anything but an American coin. Production of
the Buffalo nickel stopped 75 years ago. In 1938, the United
States decided to make a switch to the Jefferson nickel, which is
the nickel that is still used. Today, Buffalo nickels are collected
by coin collectors and displayed in museums, such as the
Money Museum in Colorado Springs.
Nearly 67 years after 1938, a Buffalo re-emerged as a design on
an American coin when it was minted on the 2005 Kansas state
quarter. One year later, a pair of buffaloes appeared as the
design of the 2006 North Dakota State Quarter.
The first Native American image to appear on a United States
coin since the Buffalo nickel came in 2000 with the Sacagawea
dollar. In 2009, the United States began minting
a $1 Native American Coin Series to commemorate
the history and accomplishments of Native Americans through
($1 Sacagawea
Fraser claimed that the portrait of the Native American on the
buffalo nickel was a composite of three Native Americans chiefs
from different tribes. Those chiefs included Iron Tail
(Lakota), Two Moons (Cheyenne) and John Big Tree
(Native American design on
the 1913 Buffalo nickel)
Chief Iron Tail is considered by many to be the most famous
Native American of his day. He is known for his lead
roles in the world famous "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show." Iron
Tail was one of many well-known individuals who traveled in the
show, which included Sioux warrior Sitting Bull and sharp shooters Annie Oakley and Lillian Smith. Iron Tail and William Cody, otherwise known as Buffalo Bill,

Cheyenne Chief Two Moons first made his name when he
participated in three battles that included the Battle of the Rosebud, Battle of Little Big Horn and Battle of Wolf Mountain. In January 1877 at
the Battle of Wolf Mountain, he surrendered his Cheyenne band to Gen. Nelson A. Miles. Two Moons would
later enlist as an Indian Scout for Miles. Two Moons was friendly
and well-liked by the soldiers he worked alongside.
Therefore, Miles appointed him head chief of the Cheyenne Northern
Reservation. Two Moons never stopped serving the Cheyenne; later in
his life he served the Cheyenne Northern Reservation by traveling
to Washington, D.C. on several occasions to discuss and fight for
the future of his fellow Native Americans. During the Woodrow Wilson presidency, Two Moons was
invited by the president to discuss the future of Two Moon's
people. In 1917, he died in his Montana home at the age of

of the coin was John Big Tree. Not only did he claim to be one of
the models of Fraser's design, Chief John Big Tree claimed to be
the only model. John Big Tree also made claims that he was
the model for Fraser's "End of the Trail" work. Big Tree also played
roles in several Hollywood films. Additionally, he appeared on

Learning a foreign language is an experience that broadens your outlook, giving you a deeper grasp of the cultural differences among people while revealing the things we all share in common. Today, the ability to communicate effectively across borders — and more widely within our own — is especially critical. We live in a fluid, multi-cultural, global community where understanding our neighbors not only helps us get along, but also is essential in business. At UNH, we help you achieve proficiency in the foreign language of your choice through a combination of coursework and experiential learning.
Imagine Yourself Speaking Chinese in Shanghai…
…or Arabic in Dubai. What about Russian in St. Petersburg? At UNH, our students can minor in Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and Spanish and also study Italian, German, and French languages through methods that frequently immerse them in the language and culture they are learning. What better place to learn Italian than by attending the UNH Prato campus near Florence, Italy. Speak, breathe, and soak-in the Italian language and culture while taking classes lead by University faculty.
Whether studying Italian in Prato, or at our main campus, you'll learn from dynamic instructors, who not only teach the language but also stress the cultural dimensions that are essential to truly understanding its nuances.
In addition to the enriching academic and cultural advantages of learning a foreign language there's another, more practical side to foreign language proficiency — your marketability.
Make yourself a stronger competitor in the global market.
Fluency in multiple languages gives you an edge. It's a sought-after skill valued by most employers. Knowing Arabic or another "Critical Need" language, has given UNH students that edge when they've entered the job market upon graduation. This is especially true for jobs in the criminal justice field and for many government positions. The business world, teaching, dietetics, and dental hygiene also need multi-lingual job candidates. There's a critical need for proficiency in Spanish in these fields. Knowing French — useful for anyone working in many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and of course, Europe — is also at the top of the list of desired language skills. The global economy and digital communications has made international communication essential, with both Russia and China holding significant relationships with US corporations. So, give yourself a leg-up with a foreign language minor.
Get the hands-on experience that enhances your skills.
We give our language students unique opportunities to engage in valuable interactions with local cultural or social-action groups. Some of our students have used their Spanish to tutor ESL (English As a Second Language) students in Fair Haven and when participating in local community events such as Día de los Muertos parades.
Others, studying Arabic and Spanish, use their language skills while working with community service organizations. One of these organizations is City Seed, which coordinates farmer's markets in New Haven and encourages low-income Arabic- and Spanish-speaking residents to take advantage of the opportunity to eat healthier foods.
We also frequently arrange opportunities for immersion experiences through study abroad programs, which enable robust proficiency levels.
You may be interested to know that students studying critical languages, such as Arabic, have a greater chance of receiving certain grants and scholarships — the Critical Language Scholarship and the Boren Scholarship, to name two. Other International Study Abroad scholarships are also available.

Four players account for 32 appearances in World Series
- Last Updated on 08:17 AM 08/02/12
- BY Doug Ford
Jennifer Lacks, Dalyn Hall, Kate Bane and Meg Bane are definitely serious about the World Series, with the softball foursome making a total of 32 appearances in the summer classic.
They've been to World Series in at least four different states since 2004, including Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia, and for at least one of them this weekend's trip to the Dixie Softball Debs World Series in Powhatan will be her last hurrah.
They've spent a lot of nights away from home in motel rooms in unfamiliar surroundings, but their collective efforts paid off with a thrilling World Series title in Sumter, S.C. in 2009 as Halifax American Belles all-stars.
Lacks can count nine World Series appearances, beginning in 2004 when she was a member of the Halifax American Angels all-stars.
The soft-spoken slugger said she and her teammates are not satisfied with just one World Series title, one she and Hall, Kate Bane and Meg Bane earned the hard way in 2009.
That team rebounded from a loss in its second World Series game to win three straight by a total of four runs before winning the title with a 10-2 rout of South Stanly, N.C.
Halifax American was down to its final out in at least two of those games before rallying for wins.
"That was amazing, and I'd like to add another," said Lacks, who plans to play club softball in college.
"It takes practice, commitment, dedication and luck to get through it all," she added.
Hall, a veteran of eight World Series including this year, battled injuries to pitch her team to the championship in 2009.
She said added winning that series was the best feeling she's ever had, and it took dedication and a lot of heart to win it all, according to Hall, a sophomore at Lynchburg College.
She is thinking of passing her softball knowledge down the line.
"I'm going to hang up my glove (after this year), and I want to coach younger girls," said Hall.
Kate Bane has eight World Series appearances, and she can't recall where the time went.
It doesn't feel like it but looking back the past eight years have gone quickly, she noted.
"It's hard to wrap your mind around it when you think about eight World Series," said Bane.
"It's a big deal. My first World Series in 2002 I remember most because I didn't know what to expect when I went down there.
"It was like Disney World to a softball player. When I was younger it was more of a magical feeling.
"Its still fun now, but when you're younger it opens your eyes a lot."
The youngest of the four, Meg Bane has been to seven World Series, including this year.
She plans to stick with her dream of playing collegiate softball, but first she wants another World Series title in the Dixie Softball ranks.
Meg Bane said her softball experiences with sister Kate and all her teammates through the years have helped her grow as a person
"It's kind of been neat to come to the ball field every day," she said.
"In Sumter, it was magical, amazing, I remember battling off some pitches and doing everything I can.
"That World Series taught me never to give up, and it definitely helped me," added Bane, who also may give coaching a try once her softball career is over.

Democrats rule in Barrington.
Democrats took the three seats up for grabs on the Town Council in Tuesday's election, with 926 emergency and mail ballots still to be counted: Incumbents June Speakman and Kate Weymouth and Planning Board member Ann Strong.
Two Democrats took two of the three seats up for grabs on the School Committee: Incumbent Robert Shea Jr. and newcomer Paula Dominguez. Republican Patrick Guida took the other seat.
And Barrington's incumbent Democratic legislators in Districts 66 and 67 won re-election: Joy Hearn and Jan Malik.
"I am relieved and humbled," said Speakman about her re-election to the Town Council. "I think this validated our program. I am fired up and ready to move forward."
She was especially excited about the fact that voters favored her and her running mate, Kate Weymouth, as the top two vote-getting candidates.
"I am thrilled," said Weymouth. "I am very pleased that people found my name on the ballot. It's great to be validated, and I am honored to continue serving."
Both Shea and Dominguez used the word "thrilled" as well to describe their victories, which shifts the balance of political power back to the Democrats by a 3-2 margin. What that means in terms of the leadership of the School Committee remains to be seen.
"We'll need to caucus soon," said Shea, who served as chairman for a short while until a special election shifted control of the School Committee to the Republicans.
Here are the official numbers:
2012 Barrington Election Results
Town Council (elect 3)
School Committee (elect 3)Candidate Votes Winner Paula Dominguez (D) 4,475 x Patrick Guida (R) 5,123 x Robert Shea Jr. (D) 4,481 x Christopher Ramsden (R) 3,478 Meaghan Ramsden (R) 3,741
ModeratorCandidate Votes Winner Julia Califano 6,326 x Write-in 90
Senate District 32Candidate Votes Winner David Bates (R) 5,934 x Write-in 170
House District 66Candidate Votes Winner Joy Hearn (D) 3,856 x Manfred Diel Jr. (R) 2,343 Eugene Saveory (I) 762
House District 67Candidate Votes Winner Jan Malik (D) 3,382 x Peter Costa Jr. (R) 2,707
Scores of voters turned out to vote in Barrington. And voters kept coming and coming all day at all the polls.
But the final turnout of 63.6 percent of voters was still less than four years ago, when 73 percent of registered voters came.
"At 6:45 am, they were lined up down the halls," said Anne Stoppe, a poll worker at Barrington High School. "And it's been very, very busy all day. It finally slowed down at bit at around 2:15 pm."
By that time, approximately 1,000 ballots had been cast, said Paul Dulchinos, another poll worker at the high school.
"They never stopped all day," said Anne Znosko, a poll worker at Barrington Middle School. "They were lined up before we opened."
Cherri Pace, a moderator at the middle school, agreed with Znosko.
"We were swamped between 7 and 8:15 am," she said. "And it has kept going."
"And there were so many first-time voters," added Znosko. "That's so good to see."
More than 1,220 voters had cast ballots by mid-afternoon at the middle school.
"There were at least 30 people when we opened the doors," said Martha Wallick, a moderator at Nayatt School.
"And from 7 to 10 am," said Burt Grieffer, a longtime supervisor, "they were down the hall."
Approximately 1,110 voters had cast ballots at Nayatt by mid-afternoon.
"From 7 to 11:45 am, it was just steady and straight through," said Jim McClelland, a moderator at the Hampden Meadows School.
By around 3:30 pm, he said, 1,341 voters had pushed paper ballots into the ballot counting machine.
"It's been incredible here," said Jedd Sullivan, a warden and moderator at the Sowams School.
By around 4 pm, Sullivan said, more than 1,325 ballots had been cast.
The polls closed at 8 pm -- an hour earlier than in past elections. Perhaps that caused the final turnout to tumble.
Soon after the polls closed, Barrington had a new member of the Town Council, a new member of the School Committee and the same legislators to represent them in the General Assembly.
Besides the large number of races on the ballot, there were seven state ballot questions -- including whether Twin River and Newport Grand should be turned into full-fledge casinos. Barrington voters favored both casinos by wide margins.
Scores of voters did up at the wrong polling places, according to workers at every poll. Many went to the place they have always voted in the past, but redistricting changed many of the boundaries.
For the first time, voters had to bring an ID with them to the polling place -- another new change in Rhode Island this year.
Because the polls closed an hour earlier than in the past, there was the possibility that some voters would show up after 8. But if they were in line when the polls closed at 8 pm, they were allowed to vote.
Barrington has 13,984 registered voters -- slightly more than half of them (7,010) unaffiliated with a party.
Democrats make up 32 percent of registered voters (4,488). Republicans make up about 18 percent (2,486). There are 22 Moderates.

In the spirit of international collaboration in heritage preservation, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) signed an agreement with the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) in December 2005 to make the censuses of Ireland for 1901 and 1911 accessible online and free of charge. LAC's contribution to this project included digitizing microfilm reels, linking images to the database and making the records searchable by name.
"An important part of Canada's history is for immigrants to trace back their ancestry to their points of origin" said Daniel J. Caron, Librarian and Archivist of Canada. "This collaborative effort between the two countries presents a very good example of how sharing information can contribute to the public memory at a global level."
Making these records accessible online will give genealogists and historians around the world the chance to explore the age, occupation, religion and marital status of individuals. It will also enable research on Irish society of the early 20th century.
The Irish Census Online is available at www.census.nationalarchives.ie.

Jeff Domansky's insight:
Useful reminders of what works in social selling and what doesn't.
Denise Griffitts's curator insight, July 23, 3:25 PM
There is a very fine line between selling and nagging. Engagement is the key.
As large companies look for creative ways to draw attention to their advertising on content sites, a number of Fortune 500 firms are going in the opposite direction. Instead of putting their advertising around articles created by news firms, they're putting news articles around their promotions. From technology to fashion and from finance to food and drink, businesses are building hubs that allow them to control both content and advertising.
The content hubs look, on first appearance, like any traditional news site. Large headlines and lead stories point out the most important features of the day. Sections often lead to categories within the site while scrolling down the page brings up more stories and articles.
In terms of design the sites haven't broken new ground; they've followed formulas laid out by traditional news firms like CNN and Fox, as well as online news companies like Mashable and Buzzfeed. Copying the design immediately gives them an appearance of objective news gathering rather than a sense of commercial promotion...
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Who's using content hubs and how are they using native advertising for impact?
From www
Interruptive marketing—where businesses bombard potential customers with ads and promotions—is out, and content marketing—where businesses publish relevant content and media—is in. As such, businesses and brands have gone to great lengths to improve their content marketing game in the last year, and many companies have completely revamped their content marketing strategy.
In fact successful companies' online marketing practices are now entirely customer-centric, focused on presenting content that is interesting and informative and appropriately timed rather than sales-oriented material foisted on customers. Here's a look at six companies with the best content strategies of 2014 and what you can learn from them....
Jeff Domansky's insight:

And just when the airliner had that atrocious "breaking news" down to a minimum, the unthinkable happened over the Ukrainian coast as MH17 was shot down…presumably by separatists in the region.
And then Sky News went rummaging through the luggage of the dead passengers on live television.
In the report from Sky News' Colin Brazier, viewers can practically hear the internal ethics debate as he says, "I probably shouldn't be doing this" before doing the very thing he knows he shouldn't be doing....

I hesitate three beats before clicking on a Forbes link. That is the definition of a devalued media brand. And that is precisely what other media companies should fear as they more and more try to fool their readers into thinking that what we used to call advertising is now something else that can comfortably live under brands, enigmatically labeled.
The real lesson of Forbes is that there are no easy answers and quick solutions for transforming legacy media companies. DVorkin became a key tourist attraction for media executives touring New York. I know because I took many of them to meet Lewis. He generously shared his means and methods. But I also told these executives that the path was not without the peril I just described.
Media executives are looking for quick fixes still....

Exploring how Big Data is being used to build community, employee and customer retention and ultimately revenue for companies large and small.
...Outside of the large enterprise, the application of big data has been somewhat stifled; at least in the most obvious sense of using Big Data as mentioned above. This is because the cost both human capital and in dollars is too great for most businesses to fully mine the entire data landscape when trying to make business decisions.
However, to some extent the biggest opportunity for many businesses large and small is to use big data to solidify the three areas of the marketing mix that comprise marketing and social media ROI; the development of community, the continued investment in keeping employees and customers satisfied, and of course the most sought after ROI metric, which is the revenue generated from your efforts....

Big data can mean better decisions leading to better results. We hope. ;-)

When Dropbox's waiting list for beta users sat idling at around 5,000, CEO Drew Houston compiled a three minute product demo video (as a Minimum Viable Product) to show potential customers how it would work in real time. At this stage, Dropbox didn't have a lot of options left on the table to convince investors and beta users alike that file synchronization was a problem that needed to be solved – and that Dropbox was the solution to do so.
Though their customers couldn't physically interact with the product, the in-depth walkthrough (combined with a healthy dose of geek humor) transformed an abstract idea of how a file syncing solution might work into a product that people could envision using IRL...

...I recently came across a blog post by Scott Brinker of ion interactive, explaining why they bet the whole company on marketing apps. He sees interactive web experiences (fueled by these marketing apps) as the fourth wave of content marketing. The first three waves, according to Scott, are 1) text-based web content, 2) rich media content, and 3) personalization.
As Scott notes in his post, interactive content can include wizards, configurators, calculators, assessment tools, contests, interactive white papers, games, quizzes, surveys, guided tours, portals, social hubs, diagnostics, workbooks, galleries, utilities, sweepstakes, learning exercises – in short, anything that consumers interact with. As the fourth wave of content marketing, this interactive content is the future.
The "Guess Which Won" AppTo give you an idea of how powerful this kind of marketing can be, check out ion interactive'sGuess Which Won app. The app gives you five A/B tests to judge, and for each test, you're shown two variations of a landing page and asked to guess which one performed best....

Jeff Domansky's insight:
Useful content stats help you build a strong marketing platform.
It's a fair characterization to say that the state of today's content marketing in B2B circles is a mixed bag. More specifically, there's a great deal of bad content out there (especially on social media), and many companies who haven't quite figured out yet how to best leverage the content they have.
Even then, the data from Forrester's own study seem to suggest that the results from content marketing aren't quite as downbeat as the Ad Age article would suggest (though I accept that bad news makes for more compelling reading.) For example, in answer to the question "During the past 12 months, how effectively have your content marketing efforts delivered business value?"
• 51% responded "somewhat effectively"

Facebook accounted for 23.39 percent of social referrals to websites in the second quarter of 2014, with that percentage total representing a 10.09 percent gain since March and a whopping 150.49 percent leap since the end of the second quarter of 2013, according to the latest report from Shareaholic.
Shareaholic reported that Facebook was the only one of the eight social networks it analyzed to drive a greater share of traffic at the end of the second quarter than it did at the end of the previous quarter, and year-over-year, only Facebook, Pinterest and StumbleUpon saw gains, yet the eight social networks as a whole saw their share of traffic driven to sites double over the 12-month period, to 31.07 percent from 15.55 percent....

Microsoft already had a public relations crisis on its hands with Thursday's news that it was laying off 18,000 employees. That's 14 percent of its workforce, and the biggest batch of job cuts in the company's nearly 40-year history.
How it's communicating those layoffs to employees doesn't seem to be helping matters. Microsoft published the email from Stephen Elop, head of Microsoft's devices unit, to about 12,500 laid-off employees. The lion's share of the employees who are losing jobs come from his department.
The memo begins, "Hello there," ends with "Regards," and is loaded with business jargon. Terms such as "financial envelope," "business continuity," and "right-size our manufacturing operations" are peppered throughout. Worse, it barely makes clear that its recipients have been discharged. It's mostly about the company's new strategy to make and sell Windows phones, which wouldn't seem a primary concern for people who no longer work for Microsoft....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Microsoft fumbles its layoff announcements terribly. For a billion dollar company, they couldn't have made a more amateur effort.

NFL game-day rosters will expand from 45 active players to 46, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The NFL management council informed teams Friday that the rosters have been expanded and that the designation of a third quarterback has been eliminated.
Unlike in years past, a team's No. 3 quarterback no longer will be listed as inactive. Prior to the change, a team could only use its third "emergency" quarterback if the starting QB was unable to return to the game.

Chef Ilean Maite's notes for this recipe:
So creamy it melts on your mouth!
So creamy and delicious, cravings for this amazing cake are bound to sneak up on you when you least expect it! Be prepared with ingredients for when your sweet tooth comes calling.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Melt the butter in a pan over low heat, then stir in the crushed cookies. Press the mixture evenly into base of a springform pan (tall cheese cake pan.) Set aside.
FILLING: Beat together cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, sour cream, eggs, flour, vanilla and lemon juice until evenly mixed. Pour the batter into the cheesecake pan. Finally, add the mini chocolate chips by pouring them evenly on top of the cheesecake. With fork, spread the chocolate chips inside and outside of the cheesecake. (This will make for a nice presentation when you serve it.)
Bake for 1 hour. Let chill for 3 hours. Decorate with more oreo cookies, strawberries and whipped cream.

These are so good! I once ended up having to make 36 individual (6-inch) ones for the players on our local professional hockey team.... all because I made a 10-inch one for the two players that I sponsored and they refused to share it with the other players (but proceeded to eat it in front of them!).

Brenden schuab thought he was the shit on the ultimate fighter, I won't lie he was doing great but. Big country nelson is a savage and a previous ifl champ, so obviously he was gonna knock brendens ass out cold!! Roys my boy so screw anyone who don't appreciate how he fights

Roy hasn't faced anyone like Schaub most of Roy's opponets lose on the ground not KO standing. lol Schaubs got a future in the UFC dispite the loss
i'd be shocked if Roy doesn't win. But honestly I just don't know enough about Schaub. I'm honestly a bit disappointed with this season because this time I just don't think it has produced a future contender for the title at any point in the future.
Saying that, I am excited for the finale.
to be fair, most of us would be pretty cocky/confident if we did to Marcus Jones what Brendan did to him...just sayin...I think Roy actually has a decent amount of skill, and if it goes to the ground, Roy should be able to win this...that being said, Brendan has a good team and he's got mad power in his strikes...I got Brendan winning, 1st round KO
Yea I was like WTF when he say that... He think he is better fighter then Arlovski and Monson? hahahaha I hope Nelson KO'ed him...
