Islamabad - US missiles on Thursday killed al-Qaeda's chief in Pakistan, one of the Americans' main targets in the volatile country who was wanted for attacks that killed scores of people, officials said.Badr Mansoor, who reputedly sent fighters to Afghanistan and ran a training camp in North Waziristan, was killed in a pre-dawn drone strike near the Afghan border, Pakistani officials and a member of his group said."He died in the missile attacks overnight in Miranshah. His death is a major blow to al-Qaeda's abilities to strike in Pakistan," a senior Pakistani official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.His death was confirmed by one of his loyalists."Badr Mansoor was killed in the missile attack," a militant among his group confirmed by telephone.Intelligence officials in North Waziristan said Mansoor had been killed, but other Pakistani officials were divided."We're not sure. We cannot give confirmation just like that," one of them said on condition of anonymity.Four militants were reported killed in the pre-dawn drone strike, which targeted a compound in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan.
Brilliant news. Thank God for America. Wipe the terrorists out. Boer vanaf Arizona. LEKKER.
Sorry, but I don't share your favorable views of America. And many others don't either, judging from America's large number of enemies. Nie so lekker.
Well done Yankees for ridding the world of terrorists one drone attack at a time. Al-Qaeda kills people indiscriminately all over the world and they deserve everything they get.
rbczovczov, be careful what you wish for. What one side calls a terrorist, the other side calls a hero. The ANC were also once called terrorists. If South Africa had any oil, who knows, Nelson Mandela might have been killed by the Yanks years ago.
Oh, and one more thing rbczovczov. You say "Al-Qaeda kills people indiscriminately". What a joke. What about the more than 100000 innocent civilians killed indiscriminately by Americans in Iraq? And for what? So called "weapons of mass destruction" that did not exist? No, it was for their oil. Bastards!
john why dont you move there and suport there cause from there, why dont all that support theyre cause move there and leave us in peace. i dont like the yanks but good on them!
Johan are you saying that you side with the terrorists then, or is it just that you weren't thinking when you penned your statement?
Andre, I am anti America, not pro Al Qaeda. As an atheist I am not even going to tell you what I think of these never ending Christian-Jewish-Muslim wars. But the brutality of the Americans and total disrespect for the lives of non-Americans has to stop. I have zero sympathy for them being the target of terrorists. They brought that onto themselves.
I am convinced that people like Andre lack the intelligence or ability to disburse the mental energy needed to grasp and process shadings of grey or even variation in colour when it comes to ideas, thoughts and opinions.
Instead of processing all things from all angles then tuning the workings of the mind to get the precise setting, they simply choose to flick a switch on or off (thumbs up or down).
It is a simplisitic binary choice, echoed off by Bush, 'you're either with us or with them'.
Osama Bin Laden had a similar world view!
Funny how a extremely radical fraction of the world population causes so much choas and the sympathisers come out when people try to stop it. Its either a group (Al-queada) or a person (President/leader) who stand between peace and conflict.
@Johan - "he [Saddam] murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more. His unprovoked invasion of Iran is estimated to have left another million people dead. His seizure of Kuwait threw the Middle East into crisis. More insidious, arguably, was the psychological damage he inflicted on his own land. Hussein created a nation of informants — friends on friends, circles within circles — making an entire population complicit in his rule". Others have estimated 800,000 deaths caused by Saddam not counting the Iran-Iraq war. Estimates as to the number of Iraqis executed by Saddam's regime vary from 300-500,000 to over 600,000 estimates as to the number of Kurds he massacred vary from 70,000 to 300,000, and estimates as to the number killed in the put-down of the 1991 rebellion vary from 60,000 to 200,000.Estimates for the number of dead in the Iran-Iraq war range upwards from 300,000 .
Saddam was not a nice guy , he was a true genocidal ,imperialist and meglamanic. He had every oppertunity to let inspectors in but he thumbed his nose at the world . Any suspician of a WMD in his possession would warrant action.Its called making the tough choices.
Ninja, two wrongs does not make a right.
Besides, it never was about Huisein. That was just a lot of BS they made up when they could not find a single WMD. So don't try to turn this around. Why are the USA not "helping" any of the other countries with problems? Because they don't have oil. So no, the USA cares only about themselves, and will happily kill to get what they want.
@Johan - What countries are they not 'helping' ? Look the US by any means is not perfect and have made huge mistakes but the outright BS of some Anti-Americanism is crazy? Even the oil motive theory is bollucks , OPEC controls the oil flow from the middle east and its only Saudi Arabia who actually produces more than the United States itself .
Look at the section "Estimated reserves by country". Guess who is running out of oil in 10 years...
Anyway, I am tired of talking about the Americans. They make me sick.
America is not perfect is an understatement. Since the Second World War, that bastion of Democracy, has bombed, invaded and destroyed dozens of countries and killed millions of civilians, yet they are supposedly the 'good' guys and the people they have so wantonly slaughtered are the 'evil' ones.
I'll leave it to someone else to point out the number of times America has invaded other nations, colluded in the assassination or overthrow of other countries' leaders, including democratically elected leaders, and consistently supported a regime which has possibly the very worst human rights record of any democratic nation in the modern world?
Calling American imperial history anything like not being perfect is hilarious, and would certainly mark you out as a child in grown-up company. Just a head's-up.
Johan, or whatever your real name is, get your facts right buddy. The US has not killed "more than 100,000 innocent civilians" in Iraq. What a stupid thing to think and say.
*whisltes* tjovitjo
SA would not have had the balls to kill this person since "everyone has a right to live" Some ppl need to leave and not live
Americans love killing, no country or nation can match them for their appetite for killing.
In Fidel's world, yes. In the real world, no.
Boom.... Another one bites the dust!!!
Let the race began!!!!
And because of "collateral" damage, a hundred more are born!
fidel move to iran why dont you... you can back your favorate terrorist there without opposition!
If it's all right for NATO/US to kill civilians in a particular area, is it also all right for the civilians to fight back?
Or are they supposed to just wait to be killed, content in the knowledge that their and their families' deaths will be for the greater good?
I like german investment in manufacturing over the past 30 years, perhaps I should bugger off to Frankfurt?
Silky little argument!
fidel and how do you juctifie the predominantly muslem nations that plant bombs in foreight countries (including germany and many other western countries) simply because those countries doesnt share theyre paticular belief system? like in australia and while i was in holland last. if they do not wish to adhere to that particular countries laws and way of doing things they must leave because they then forfeit theyre right of being there. you sound very pro islam that is my reason for making my statement.
The simple fact escaping people like you is that Muslims have asked westerners, like all other non-westerners to live their countries and politics alone. But because of the inherent coloniali mindset of westerners, they feel that they have a god given right to interfere in other countries'businesses.
There would be no need for muslims to bomb western capitals if your western leaders left them alone and stopped providing diplomatic cover for Israel's injustices towards the Palestinians on intl forums.
An ethical foreign policy in a world governed by self interest is an oxymoron.
the answer is simple then fidel distance yourself from the west by leaving, problym solved. i am a zionist and i am well aware of palestine injustice's towards isreal this is not a one sided afair my man. either way we will see the end of this soon enough, isreal and the west and islamic countries along with russia and china... not sure witch way s.a. will fal with the anc ties with china.
Can someone please parse this into English, my head aches.
parse? Hahahaha!
Seems to be a success for both the States and Pakistan , lets hope these victories edge that country in a stable direction (and we can have have some cricket games there again)
Oh Blast!
The troubles that the Americans get, is what they deserve. What are they doing in Afganistan? What were they doing in Korea and Vietnam? They have been waging war nonstop ever since WWII.
Warmongers,dropping democracy loving bombs and missiles.
Empire and conquest!
Killing the bad guys, what else? Make yourself a poster, put it on two broomsticks and go and protest in front of the US embassy in Pretoria. If it wasn't for the USA you would have typed your post in German.
There is no such thing as a just war. That being said, your comment indicates your lack of current and past knowledge of USA's foreign policy.
Syria need some help too, but China and Russia are stopping any help.
Wrong, it is the Red Army that saved Europe and the world from the 1000 year Third Reich.
Umm, Johan, they're in Afghanistan because Al-Quaeda was using that as a base to launch attacks on the US that killed thousands of civilians. Heard of 9/11?
You live by the sword you die by the sword.
As Alqaeda find out every day!
Brilliant, please send one of those drones to HARARE
Don't be silly, there is no oil in Zim.
Ah, the oil idea, touted by simpletons.
How can we order a drone?
Google is your friend: "DIY drones"
Well done America!
I suppose one good thing to come out of all these foreign interventions and adventures is that the average American has woken up to the fact that there is actually a world beyond the shores of the 'Land of the Free'. This must have come as quite a shock to many of them over the past few decades.
I'm sure there are also quite a few South Africans who are pretty hazy about anywhere beyond the shores of the republic. And Englishmen, and Saudi Arabians, and Chinese, and Indians, etc. Silly little comment!
Now I see that America has applied for it in the 911, they can't rest their butts off! All they know is massacre! When it comes again, they'll be crying foul
Open both eyes, maybe you'll see what is really happening.
Call 1-800-order-a-drone Got a dictator in your neighbourhood? Call 1-800-order-a-drone and DUCK!
So it's OK for the US to kill anyone anywhere in the world that they suspect is a "terrorist"?
An 18 year old with a joystick becomes judge, jury and executioner. A dog in America has more rights than people in other countries.
It's time the drone operators were exposed individually like any other criminal. These are subhuman freaks who make nazi concentration camp executioners appear normal by comparison. Think about it. People in America killing people all over the world from the safety of an armchair in California.
Nope - only known terrorists who are responsible for many murders. Cramps their style for future atrocities and I'm pretty ok with that everytime I get on a plane, for example. Have a good day.
They act on real intelligence. They don't always get it right, but almost all the time they do.
Americans think life revolves around America, there are lives in other countries too, families in other countries. You have nothing else to do except you want to drop your bombs and kill innocent civilians in other countries. How did Laden miss that Pentagon thing which houses weaponry?
Oh dear
I suggest you get an education about what is really happening in the world, and grow up. You have a childish view of what is happening.
Drone attacks are collective punishment. That is not only immoral but illegal according to international law. But cowboys and Indians mentality is still very much alive.
Terror weapons used to fight an undeclared war; so not a war on terrorism, but a war OF terrorism. When it comes to Pakistan, the US government seems totally oblivious to the moral consequences of its actions.
Even Obama's kids love these drones.
Nonsense. It was a precisely targeted attack that killed four militants. Much neater than any of the bombs these sleazeballs would have planted if they had been allowed to fester.
Human/child bombs are morally superior
Eric, read up on the number of civilians killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan as a result of drone attacks, peasants being killed in their fields and weddings, wiping out whole families. Or these barberic acts don't matter because those being killed are a different colour to their executors.
Isn't yours and your leaders worldview to claims to have a superior moral standpoint to "the terrorists"?
@Fidel. Silly comment re race - won't bite that one. You are the lad who appears to think that the Russian empire saved Europe in WWII. How exactly? The war started with Poland invaded by a vicious dictatorship and ended with half of Europe enslaved by a vicious dictatorship. I'll agree that Russia won the war but it did not liberate Europe. You seem to be rather confused. There would be less 'collateral' damage, if the terrorists you seem to admire didn't hide amongst ordinary people.
Undeclared war? Yes, of course in your world Al-Quaeda has not declared war on the freer world.
Unfortunately, for every 1 killed there are scores to take his place, and usually worse than their predecessor because they need to prove themselves.
No, Al-Quaeda is being decimated by these drone attacks.

Spilling Over and Crowding Out: The Effects of Public Sector/Private Sector Convergence and Competition, in the Provision of Public Goods
This paper develops an original model of product differentiation, to contribute to the debate about the regulation and finance of public television. It goes beyond the conventional analysis in this topic, by showing the spill-over effects that a public broadcaster can have upon commercial broadcasters. It shows how the existence of a publicly-financed, free-to-air channel (such as the BBC) can affect the behaviour of advertiser-financed, free-to-air channels (such as the ITV). In particular, it shows what happens if the output of the public channel converges with that offered by private firms, so that it becomes less distinctive; and or it introduces advertising. These are timely issues, given the extent to which public broadcasters are increasingly criticised for seeking popularity, losing distinctiveness, and in many cases, introducing advertising. These tensions are being felt in the television sectors of virtually every country of the world. To illustrate these and other questions of this nature, we develop a model that clarifies the interplay of the key issues. Moreover, the model has wider parallels to other sectors where services are also offered free at the point of access, but financed by advertising. The most obvious example is the internet. The following pages therefore develop an original model of product differentiation in two dimensions, following the tradition of Hotelling and Cournot competition. The horizontal product attribute is programme quality or type, and the vertical attribute is level of advertising. Broadcasters compete for viewers by altering their levels of advertising. The second novelty of this model is its pricing scheme, which captures the unusual nature of television advertising markets. Channels sell quantities of airtime to advertisers, the unit price of which is determined by the number of viewers. Relative demand therefore plays the role of price in a Cournot model, except there can be different prices for diff

Do you know a senior who did something monumental during their time at Columbia? A senior who went above and beyond to make their club or organization memorable? A senior who can always cheer you up with a hug or a bad pun? A senior who is graduating at the end of this semester?
If you know anyone who fits any of those above descriptions (but mostly the last one), they're the kind of person we might want to give a Senior Wisdom. For first-years, transfer students, and any other folks new to Bwog: Senior Wisdoms are a series of short interview-type posts with graduating seniors in which they, well, share their wisdom. Take a look at some past examples if you want to get a better idea.
To nominate someone, hit us up with their name, school, uni, and a brief description explaining why you think they deserve a Senior Wisdom. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or use our anonymous form. Remember that we are currently only accepting nominations for seniors who are graduating at the end of this (fall 2017) semester. The deadline is Friday, December 8 at 11:59 pm.

For our last Senior Wisdom, we have star former Managing Editor Courtney Couillard, who knows her way around the three D's – data, drama, and the Diana.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Courtney Couillard, Barnard College, Political Science, Dover, NH
Claim to Fame: Helped run this gossip site at Columbia as Managing Editor. Broke Bacchanal headliner news before Spec. Told Columbia it should pay for my period. Ate more Diana white pizzas in the past four years than I'm proud to admit.
Where are you going? Probably to get a Harvest Bowl at Sweetgreen and watch Great British Bakeoff.
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
1) There is a difference between solitude and loneliness. Both are perfectly ok to experience during your time here. I challenge you to seek out the former. This can be through solo walks in Riverside, going to a museum alone, spending the entire day reading a book. As for loneliness- it seems impossible that you could feel alone in New York. But loneliness has its way of tapping you on the shoulder from time to time, and it's completely normal. Do know that loneliness is not a sign of weakness, and it's always ok to ask for help when you can't handle it on your own any longer.

Our next Senior Wisdom comes from Joe Milholland – former CCSC Bureau Chief, wearer of excellent socks, purveyor of delicious snacks, and, let's be honest, the patron saint of Bwog. We wish you a small apartment in a big city with many books, Joe.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Joseph Milholland; Columbia College; English and Comparative Literature; Atlanta, GA
Claim to fame: If you count this as a Bwog article, I wrote for 9 of the 17 editors in chief of Bwog, an organization that began when I was 10. For three school years, I went to and reported on every CCSC meeting for three school years straight for Bwog. Also covered Usenate, GSSC, and other student council meetings, along with the occasional Suzanne Goldberg interview.
I also sat on the executive board of the Columbia University Science Ficton Society for two years as treasurer and secretary, wrote several articles for the Blue and White and managed their Facebook page this year, am a Phull and Engorged member of the Philolexian Society, lived on Hartley 8 my first year (H8 4evah!), and, as my greatest achievement at this institution, was briefly listed as part of the "Lion Society of Friends," along with Nicolas Biekert and Robert Hornsby.
Where are you going? Hopefully to a small apartment in a big city.

Today's next Senior Wisdom is from Maddie Stearn, who transferred into Barnard and into our hearts. This one is short and sweet.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Maddie Stearn; Barnard College; East Asian Studies; Vienna, Virginia
Claim to fame: Bwog's former Managing Editor
Where are you going? Back to Virginia to sleep on my parents' couch. My dog is a jerk and won't give up my bed.
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
1) Keep your senior wisdom short.
2) Paste in plain text.
3) Transferring schools is hard and feels like a huge deal, but it will probably be worth it in the end.
"Back in my day…" I don't know, I didn't go here. I've heard Bacchanal was good?

For our Senior Wisdoms, who else could be wiser but our very own bona fide Tech Man and WordPress extraordinaire, Kevin Chen? As someone who reports to eat prereqs for breakfast, Kevin dishes out advice on 6000-level seminars and bootlegging.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Kevin Chen; SEAS; Computer Science; Pleasanton, California
Claim to fame: Once, I calculated that there's a 1 in 3 chance you're running my code on your phone right now. If that's not enough, my photo of pizza rolls is now the first picture Yelp shows for John's of Times Square. If you ever go there, get the spinach and mozzarella. Those pizza rolls are the best thing ever.
Where are you going? Over the summer, I'll be working on software to help people take better photos. After that, I'm coming back to Columbia to finish up a master's in CS. Although I'm not sure how my parents talked me into another year of school, I have recently come to accept it as a fact of my life.
More on Kevin after the jump

We're back again and better than ever: this evening we share with you some words of wisdom from Vida Biggins!
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Vida Biggins, GS, Philosophy Major, Atlanta, Georgia
Claim to fame: First Multicultural Affairs Representative for GSSC and VP of Students of Color Alliance. I'm also known for smiling too hard, giving inappropriately long hugs, and being obsessed with Beyonce.
Where are you going? Austin, Texas. I'll be working in management consulting and bringing a gang of magical black girls to the top with me!
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?:
1) The moment you find yourself bragging/joking about how much sleep you didn't get or how overwhelming your sense of existential dread has become, check yourself. Take a moment for self-care. Nothing -not even your GPA- is worth your personal health. Oh, and be nice to people. Columbia can be a huge, lonely place for many people. The more we smile at each other, the more we take care of one another, the more we show compassion to our classmates, the better this place is for all of us.
2) This next one is best summed up by a quote from the movie Poetic Justice that my grandmother likes to remind me of when I need to loosen up: "The world's just a big place for us to go and fuck up in it." College is the most appropriate place to make mistakes and when you stop obsessing over perfectionism and allow yourself room to mess up a little bit, you create the space you need to discover new things about yourself and learn valuable lessons. When I look at my transcript, it's the biggest dips in my GPA that tell the most interesting, pivotal stories of my journey through Columbia.
3) You're in Harlem (no matter what they tell you), bro! Get out of the Columbia bubble and take advantage of the rich culture around you. Do Harlem stuff! Eat you some real Caribbean/soul food, listen to you some good ol' jazz, and support you some black theatre.

One of our most request Senior Wisdom recipients, Jennie Olson managed the Columbia Bartending Agency and has rocked the Earth Science world. Read on for her words of wisdom.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Jennie Olson. CC. Earth Science Major, Sustainable Development Concentration. Berkeley, CA.
Claim to fame: Manager of the Columbia Bartending Agency for two years. Overenthusiastic COÖP leader. Fell backwards off a bench while giving a campus tour. Also known for always being asleep.
Where are you going? Moving to DC to do environmental policy work with Environment America. Before that, road-tripping and hiking all summer.
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
1) Don't be too hard on yourselves. Keep in mind that school is just one small part of the college experience, and not by any measure the most important. Carefully reflect on the things you think you want to take away from Columbia when you walk out in that cap and gown— Sure, you probably want to walk away with a decent GPA, a solid resume, future prospects, etc. I did, too (and still do). But please don't, in that pursuit, forget to walk away with as many memories, friends, and experiences as possible.

As time runs down on another year at Columbia, Bwog is here to present some wise words to the incoming class. Today, Romane Thomas adds her two cents.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Romane (and no it's not pronounced like the salad, do you really think my parents would have named in after a salad? It's actually French. It's pronounced like this: Row Mahn.). General Studies (Dual BA between SciencesPo and Columbia), Human Rights, St Etienne (France).
Claim to fame: I am GSSC's favorite live commenter. Also, I was in Paris one time, ran into Dean Awn and he recognized me. It was maybe the most fulfilling day of my life.
Where are you going? This summer? To California, from New York, by train, for four days. And next year? To London! More precisely to the London School of Economics. So while I am supposed to study there, I am secretely planning to escape to Scotland, be taken back in time to the 18th century and meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman. This is a reference to Outlander by the way. If you don't know what it is, I just gave you your summer reading assignment. You're welcome.

Accepted your fate for that final in an hour? Take some time to read our next Senior Wisdom, featuring Michael Glendinning!
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Michael Glendinning – Columbia College 2017, Neuroscience major.
I'm from New Providence, NJ.
Claim to fame: I was a lead activist for the CU Dems and was an organizer for Columbia Divest for Climate Justice! #divestnow. I also am a world champion dreamer.
Where are you going? I plan on living in NYC and working in a clinical research lab in my gap-years before med school. My friends and I are actually looking for somewhere to move in to after graduation. An affordable 4br apartment somewhere in Northern Manhattan would be convenient and awesome for us. Please let me know if you have any leads!
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
1) If you are having any legal issues, related to the school or not, go to the Ombuds office!! It is the most underappreciated resource on campus when you're in a jam, of any kind. They saved my rear end one time and I'll be forever grateful. And they are super duper nice.
2) I've learned that people here in particular have this weird thing hating on New Jersey all the time! As a proud New Jersey native, I am pissed about it and want the facts cleared up on the Internet! Sure the NJ turnpike kind of sucks, and our state politics are sometimes embarrassing. But, only from a truly incredible cultural epicenter could American heroes like Ice-T, Bruce Springsteen, and Jon Bon Jovi have been born. We have, hands down, the greatest beach towns in the entire country, and the best diners too. Where would modern life be without the light bulb, the transistor, and the laser, all of which were invented in NJ! People from New Jersey are also the best looking people in the nation! Class of 2021'ers, if you know what is good for you, you will make a friend or two from The Garden State! You won't regret it!

Tatini Mal-Sarkar, former ill-informed Bwog advice columnist, charmed her way through Columbia one fried cheese product at a time – and now, she's here to share some wisdom with you.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Tatini Mal-Sarkar, Columbia College, Sociology and Psychology (after, like, thirteen other departments), proud Midwesterner by way of Cleveland, Ohio.
Claim to fame: I once sent myself a CU Admirers post. It went something along the lines of, "U cute." Even when hitting on myself, it seems I am not the most creative. I also wrote a truly terrible advice column. It's unclear why anyone let me publish it, nor why I'm linking you to the most blatantly fabricated article I ever penned.
Where are you going? Dinner! Just kidding. Actually, after four years of non-stop complaining that people expect me to read and write things, I'll be continuing to read, write, and complain uptown, studying public mental health at Mailman, Columbia's public health school.
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
Okay, here's where I'll get on my soapbox (I've lowkey been drafting this since I first joined Bwog freshman year. Actually, scratch that, I don't believe in lowkey. I've highkey been drafting this for forever.)

Earlier today, we posted the Senior Wisdom of a campus politician. Now, we're posting the Senior Wisdom of an off-campus politician: Isabel Rothberg, who dropped out of school for a semester to work on the Clinton campaign.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Isabel Rothberg, CC, *concentration* in political science (ask me about how I had to change my major January of senior year…), Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
Claim to fame: Dropped out of school to work for the first woman to win the popular vote in an American presidential election. Dedicated three wonderful, crazy years of my life to CU Dems. Gave many, many campus tours. Was an annoyingly confident freshman who knew way too much about Columbia (just kidding, I will never apologize for being confident.)
Where are you going? Nothing set in stone yet, but hopefully spending some time outside the east coast liberal bubble.

1) Make Barnard Your Daddy — Barnard wants to please you but sometimes it doesn't know how. That's why you gotta tell it what you want. I scammed my way into getting a special major (aka I never had to take a class I didn't want to), free housing 2 summers in a row (SRI is lit), access to professional film equipment (shouts out IMATS), lots of one-on-one hw help (tysm peer tutors), and a $800 check for a fall internship (grants are real). You can do all these scams too! Just know about your resources and don't be afraid of paperwork.

1) The greatest resource you have at Columbia (and in life) are the people around you. Go out of your way to make and maintain genuine friendships and don't let the endless bustle of Columbia stop you from keeping up those relationships. Resist your first impressions, and treat every person you meet as a friend.

Today's first Senior Wisdom is from Abby Porter, who has done a lot of policy work and carried a lot of tampons.
Name, School, Major, Hometown: Abby Porter, Columbia College, Political Science, Houston, TX
Claim to fame: Got really lucky and made really great friends who got me involved in policy work on campus that I'm proud of. More likely, I'm known as the obnoxious girl who spammed Facebook with elections photos four years in a row, and who spent her senior spring carrying around bags full of tampons.
Where are you going? Back to Texas to hang out with my dog.
What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2021?
1) Please tell someone or reach out to anyone if you are struggling with your mental health. There are resources at Columbia (Counseling and Psychological Services, Sexual Violence Response, Nightline, etc.) that are all confidential. It can be scary to do this, and there are a lot of real concerns that people have when talking about mental health. It is definitely true that these resources aren't sufficient for everyone, but, if you are struggling, please try to reach out to someone.

I am trying to add a circuit pattern on an internal layer(10 line width on 25 grid closed at alternating ends). The area where this must be placed has already been routed (vias and a few traces already exist in this space)and cannot change much due to a tamper circuit. Anyone have any tips on how I might achieve this request? thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by 'circuit pattern closed at alternating ends'. You may want to manually create part of the pattern, then copy/paste and edit any locations around your tamper circuit or create a dynamic shape using a fill style of Xhatch. I hope this helps. If not, please attach a file with a picture showing what you are trying to accomplish so we can help you out better. Thanks!

My brothers and i hardly eat anything. I am overweight and am not proud of the fact but i'm not bothered by the fat comments. 2 of my brothers (they're 14 and 17) are average weight for their height. But my youngest brother who is 13 is overweight. Now i try not to be a hypocrite and i'm not. I don't eat constantly.
This is how my mum treats my brother. He can eat whatever he wants, he can have every last ice-lolly, choc ice, bag of crisps, biscuits, toffees and melted cheese he likes. We get it in the ear about telling him to not constantly eat cheese or sweets.
My mum used to buy 6 cans of diet pepsi and he would ask for 1 and then drink 5. Mum wouldn't care. Any of us drank 1 and we would get grief off of her.
Watching tv tonight my brothers and i wanted to watch holby city. My little bro comes down from upstairs where my mum has Virgin installed and asks her if he's allowed to watch some rubbish kiddy halloween film. My mum said yes without even asking if we wanted to watch the tv.
He's turning into a spoilt brat. This christmas i'm getting a Wii and 100 pounds worth of stuff. (it's a joint 21st birthday present from the 8th nov, we already have 1 wii so i will be able to play the games i get for my birthday).
My brother sulked because my mum can't afford to get him guitar hero 4 for christmas except that it costs 150 pound for 1 game.
My mum can't see that my brother is constantly eating because he's bored or that he is turning into a spoilt brat. I'm not saying that i'm not because i can be but i would never ask for anything that my mum couldn't afford.
Destiny, i'm 20 years old and not in school. Also one grandmother has severe alzheimers and one is not very good at expressing herself (due to a brain haemorrage she had when i was 7) and she also doesn't get on with my mum. Both my grandfather's are dead. And my dad would rather not get involved.

* Sees revenue per passenger mile up 14 percent in H2
* Increases 2011 profit forecast to 440 mln euros from 400 mln
* Says Aer Lingus sale off table "for some time"
* Boeing remains favourite for major aircraft order
By Conor Humphries
DUBLIN, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Ryanair raised its 2011 profit forecast by 10 percent on Monday, saying a focus on more lucrative routes was pushing up revenue per passenger and offsetting stubbornly high fuel prices.
Europe's largest budget airline said it had seen virtually no impact from the global downturn in consumer confidence, but warned traffic would fall in the coming months as it grounded 80 aircraft because fuel prices made routes unprofitable.
"In the markets with austerity, we are growing," Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary told a meeting with analysts after releasing results for the first half of the 2011 financial year.
"The more price sensitive people are getting... the more they switch to Ryanair," he said.
The airline, which flew over 70 million passengers last year, said it expected to make a profit of 440 million euros ($605 million) for its 2011 financial year, up from its previous forecast of 400 million.
Yields -- the keenly watched measure showing average revenue gained per mile per passenger -- will grow at 14 percent in the six months to March, up from 12 percent previously forecast.
"The surprise is that the yield is so strong," said Gerard Moore, analyst at Merrion Stockbrokers in Dublin. "They often increase their guidance at this time of year, but given the weak consumer environment there had been doubts they could pull it off."
Ryanair has cut poorly performing routes and focused on more profitable destinations while a new reserved seating product helped push up revenue from optional extras by 15 percent, O'Leary said.
The airline earned 543.5 million euros in the six months to September, up 20 percent, on revenues of 2.71 billion.
"To stand still in the current crisis, we will have to increase revenue by 3 euros per passenger, or 7-8 percent next year," Chief Operating Officer Michael Cawley told journalists in Dublin.
Ryanair plans a "substantial dividend" in 2013, which will hopefully be close to 500 million euros, Cawley said.
Net profit before tax for the three months to September was 404 million euros, beating the average forecast of six analysts polled by Reuters of 393 million.
Ryanair was up 4.2 percent at 3.48 euros at 13:18 GMT. It has slipped 6 percent since the beginning of the year, compared with a fall of 22 percent at rival low-cost carrier EasyJet .
Industry body IATA has said it expects airlines to suffer a weak end to the year due to waning consumer confidence, sluggish international trade and high fuel prices.
Lufthansa last week reported results battered by high fuel costs, while International Airline Group on reported a 31 percent fall in third-quarter profit.
The sale of Ryanair's 29 percent stake in rival Irish airline Aer Lingus is "off the agenda for some time" after potential buyer British Airways purchased BMI, Chief Financial Officer Howard Millar told Reuters in a phone interview. .
Ryanair has not spoken to anyone about a possible sale and is waiting for the Irish government to find a buyer for its 25 percent stake before selling. "So far no one has any interest in buying the government stake," Millar said.
Millar said Ryanair remained in talks with Boeing about a large aircraft order and described the U.S. manufacturer as the "logical choice" source of new planes despite the break-down of 2009 talks to buy 200 planes.
O'Leary later said that Chinese manufacturer COMAC had been "hugely impressive" in talks over a rival plane.

Kernabey Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Kernabey are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Kernabey include: Carnaby, Carnabey and others.

The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Kernabey or a variant listed above: Elizabeth Carnaby who settled in Virginia in 1741.

Too Many Students and Not Enough Time
Student learning and growth can become obscured by three obstacles that teachers may feel powerless to address: class size, overall workload, and instructional time. These are genuine concerns, so let's take a closer look at each challenge and possible solutions.
The Class Size Challenge
Large classes are a difficult challenge faced by many teachers. Proponents of smaller classes point to studies that show achievement results, with the largest impact appearing to be on early elementary students. To a lesser extent, smaller classes can help English language learners and those who have large skill deficits. Critics counter that costs rise as class size falls and that the impact of smaller classes decreases for older grades. John Hattie found that small class size has "a positive but small effect" on learning. What is more important is teacher expertise in the instructional setting.
Having taught in urban, suburban, and rural schools, and having worked with teachers in these environments, I can say from experience that class size does make instruction and student learning a daily puzzle to solve.
Differentiation solutions for navigating large classes:
1. Transform whole class instruction into small learning teams. Working with 40 or 50 students at once can feel overwhelming at times. Differentiation through content can be done by dividing students into small learning teams of four or five. Provide tasks that specifically target skills or outcomes through respectful work based on students' readiness level. Teams develop internal supports as one resource for shared problem solving before asking for teacher assistance. Strategies to help structure small learning teams:
- Jigsaw groups (and a bonus example)
- Small-group mini-lessons
- Centers and stations
- Clock partners (and bonus examples)
2. Use a variety of structured dialogue protocols to focus learning experiences. Students need opportunities to make sense of material through reflection and review. Structured protocols have time-sensitive steps with defined roles for participants. This helps learners stay focused on the topic they are processing. The result can be that more students are ready to move forward with product-oriented learning experiences. A few examples of effective protocols:
The Workload Challenge
Workload is a different but at times related issue. A secondary teacher may see 200 students during the day in five classes, with 40 students per class. A large workload can make it difficult for the teacher to get to know all of their students. With large workloads, relationships become even more important. Knowing students' names and something about them is necessary if student buy-in to a supportive learning environment is to happen.
Differentiation solutions that address this issue:
- Learning Profile Cards: Get to know all students from their perspective. Use these cards to thoughtfully create teams based on more than behavior.
- Learning preferences through art: A high school math teacher used this approach to group students. His students evaluated themselves based on an inventory, creating designs that represented themselves as squiggles, circles, squares, or triangles. The students identified a secondary trait that also represented themselves, which helped the teacher to avoid thinking of them as one-dimensional.
- Norms: Student-generated norms can reflect their ideas about what makes a supportive environment. Adults and students must abide by the norms. Students and the teacher can coach anyone in the room on breaches in norms.
- I Wish My Teacher Knew: The approach presented in this book empowers students to share about themselves in a private way. Students can use sticky notes, emails, or private direct postings to the teacher. The insights can provide needed perspective that informs a teacher's actions. This ABC video shows the tremendous effect this can have:
The Time Challenge
My teaching career started in the Chicago Public Schools system, where the classes were 40 minutes long. As a first-year teacher, it was a challenge to figure out how best to manage learning in such a limited span. It felt like the period ended just when we were getting into the thick of learning experiences. Later in my career, I taught classes that were 100 minutes long. At first, this longer time frame seemed as challenging as the 40-minute span.
Studies on instructional time focus on the length of the school day and on extending the school year. Here we'll focus on the day. We should look at how we can create learning experiences within the time frame that place students in the role of active learners instead of passive receptors.
Differentiation solutions: Teacher efficacy with a variety of methods is as important with instructional time as it is with the number of students. Maintaining student engagement is critical. Use a variety of learning experiences that keep students' attention on the learning outcomes. Here are some considerations:
1. Focus students on deeper learning. Plan what students need to know, understand, and do, or KUD (to borrow a term from Carol Ann Tomlinson). With this clear focus on the end in mind, plan a variety of activities and experiences that build connections for students based on their different needs. Each activity must pass the acid test of the KUD. Include up to three processing experiences. Use informal formative reflective moments, in which students consider what they understood and did not understand from the lesson. These moments may be a quick journal write-up or partner talk. Or use the protocols shared above. Students need opportunities to check their understanding before moving forward on their learning journey.
2. Plan from the learner's perspective. Provide activities that students find meaningful and engaging. If students don't care for the task, their attention may wander. Follow the Goldilocks Rule: The time frame cannot be too long or some students will be done early or start too late. Downtime in the midst of work can lead to behavior management issues. If the time frame is too short, some students will feel frustration at being unable to finish, which could lead them to shut down. Ensure that the activity appropriately meets the readiness needs of each participant, from the quick learner to those who need more support.
Please share your strategies to overcome these challenges, so all can learn.

These are great strategies, John. I know how hard it is to make connections and adjust instruction effectively when I see over 160 students each semester. In a perfect world we would have no more than 20 students per class!
Hi Laura,
Thanks for sharing. When my reality was 32 to 40+ a class, my best days were when my system for personalization worked. It was something I strove for every day. On the days that it did, it felt like winning a race. Often times, parts of the system worked better than others, but if students were growing then progress was happening.
I'm not convinced that 20 is a perfect world. Teacher efficacy with teaching, coaching, and managing students is more valuable in the real world of education. I'm sure that you find many ways to bring out the best from your students. That's what matters because you can influence those challenges. My hope is that this article helps others find affirmation and ideas to do the same, and not use "perfect world" as a crutch.
Happy New Year! :)
Maybe getting information providing resources to tailor their searching approaches to meet individual grade level (or age level) and subject needs would help!
Jim Kelly
(A United Nations' 2016 WSIS nominee in e-learning, and top 5 star Merlot II educational resource)
I agree these ar great strategies. I am also aware that the discussion about class size often reverts to the same studies...yes smaller classes over longer periods ( not just one year of a student's education experience, but multiple consecutive years) improve performance on standardized tests. Yes it is EXPENSIVE to reduce class sizes. Yet we seem to not consider satisfaction of the learner, improved feedback from the teacher, and overall enjoyment of the learning process. In my experience these factors were also important in a reduced class size classroom. Please help me find research that addresses these aspects of smaller class sizes.
Finally, I can't help think that in our classrooms all over the planet are the problem solvers and the innovators that might just be able to reverse the harm humans have inflicted on the planet and SAVE THE WORLD. Yet we are loathe to insist on more money for smaller class sizes so teachers and students can not just learn the content, but thrive in leaning. This one change, smaller class sizes, might put learning in the country on the road to real improvement.
Hi Jill, I found this research overview about class size and achievement: http://www.centerforpubliceducation.org/Main-Menu/Organizing-a-school/Cl...
I agree with you that in general it seems like society misplaces resources, given the impact that education has on the future. It can be frustrating, but I have hope that we're making progress!

He served in the Peace Corps from 1977 to 1979 in the Bas Zaire province of Zaire where he taught English and managed a small animal husbandry project.
After graduating from law school, he joined a Washington-based, D.C. law firm and was transferred to their Kinshasa, Zaire office in 1984 where he lived and worked for seven years specializing on mining issues. During that time, he travelled extensively throughout Africa for clients. He then continued working on African issues from 1990 through 1997 as an international lawyer in Brussels, Belgium. His work focused on the extractive industries.
In 1997 he moved to Washington, D.C. where he focused on mergers and acquisitions and project finance for energy clients. From 2009 until July 2015 he served in senior positions in both Freeport McMoRan and then Glencore. For both companies he was responsible for legal affairs, government relations, community development, communications and labor negotiations. He lived in Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo from 2009 until December 2015.
His life-long experience in Africa has allowed him to see a 360 degree panorama of life at all levels of Africa society from the village to the upper levels of senior government. Accordingly, he firmly understands that democracy, transparency and accountability are prerequisites for good governance. Indeed, he believes that democracy is the most important initiative to Africa's complex challenges. At this point in his professional career he decided to channel his concerns into actions aimed at improving conditions for the people in Africa and founded United for Africa's Democratic Future.

Adam SamuelsParticipantI am looking for sacred vocal compositions or arrangements to be accompanied by string quartet. I'm aware that some quartets choose to play from the keyboard line. I wonder if there are collections of works available that have been prepared for this specific situation (Christian worship, wedding, or funeral)?Adam SamuelsDirector, Worship & The ArtsSt Paul UMCAbilene, Texasasamuels -at- stpaulabilene -dot- orgJanuary 5, 2010 at 4:20 pm #247014
Frank LaRoccaParticipantThis also includes clarinet, so it may not be quite what you're after. This has served well at memorials. You can peruse the score while you listen at this link:Frank La RoccaJanuary 5, 2010 at 4:54 pm #247016
Allen H SimonParticipantHere's a related ChoralNet resource. Here's another.January 6, 2010 at 3:43 pm #247071
Adam SamuelsParticipantADDING:
specifically for solo voice?January 6, 2010 at 11:07 pm #247149
John HowellParticipantAdam, just a suggestion. Instead of thinking in terms of sacred music accompanied by string quartet, think in terms of sacred music accomanied by an orchestra that is primarily strings. That would open up basically the entire repertoire of baroque sacred music, barring that intended for a larger orchestra with winds. And anything written for string orchestra can be played with one instrument on a part. And since baroque music usually had a single bass part that could be played by both cellos and basses, most of it sounds perfectly good without a bass–although I much prefer adding the 16′ sound.In terms of collections, I would suggest accessing the Luck's Music Library catalog, at the back of which there is a section of quartet music for weddings, although you would have to fit the voices in because they are not arranged for voices. The Shar catalog may actually have more variety in this kind of thing.All the best,JohnJanuary 7, 2010 at 2:57 am #247154
Morna EdmundsonParticipantPsalm Trilogy by the late Canadian composer Srul Irving Glick is fabulous music. Can be bought separately or as a set of 3 from earthsongs. Treble choir frequently in unison or 2-part with some 3-part writing. Accompaniment can be piano, string quartet, or string orchestra. I have only done the piano version, but colleagues tell me the string quartet accompaniment is terrific. Psalm 92 is about 50/50 English and Hebrew. Psalm 23 is all in English (we have sung this at two memorial services), and Psalm 47 is in Hebrew. Exquisite melodic lines and wonderful sensitivity to the words make these masterpieces.Morna EdmundsonArtistic Director, Elektra Women's Choir

Bridge Inspection & Assessment
Inspections extend bridge lifespans. Diligent inspection programs and strategic maintenance plans are critical to help extend a bridge's lifespan...
Stantec's bridge inspection professionals understand every aspect of bridge management and apply this knowledge to help our clients assess the safety of their in-service bridges while increasing reliability and structure service life. Our work helps them reduce monitoring, maintenance, and reconstruction/replacement costs. Before we conduct an inspection, we look for the best methods to access the structure as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Specialized techniques like SPRAT-certified rope access and using dive teams give us hands-on access to critical locations on bridges that are otherwise difficult to see or where using traffic control or standard access equipment is not feasible. As a result, we can provide our clients with more detailed inspections, increasing accuracy and structure safety, and minimizing traffic disruptions.
- 45 NBIS Certified Inspectors
- 15 SPRAT-certified inspectors
