Won the conference tournament
2nd in regular season
Gave away a game on our home floor when we controlled our own destiny then gave another one away that weekend.
She did answer. He was on his way to her place so getting a location update was rather important if a throw down was to be avoided.
I have the Note Edge which has the funky side screen and it takes some getting used to but once you learn how to use it it's awesome.
If the Note Edge had the speaker on the front I'd have next to...

Niang and McKay could declare this year and they wouldn't be anywhere close to getting drafted. People can say defense doesn't matter in the NBA but Georges has no place on an NBA court defensively...
Thanks for making me smile this afternoon.

Terrible not calling the TO on the shot clock violation possession.
Terrible pinning...
The guy leading the team in scoring today isn't on the floor. That makes sense.

And that Naz is why you box out.
If your name isn't Thomas or Niang you probably shouldn't shoot it early in the shot clock because you have been terrible today.
I'm not saying it happens this year but something like Kaminsky going down in the opening minute for Wisconsin makes them SIGNIFICANTLY more prone to upset. Most of your 1 seeds are going to be very...
Normally have to be picked up at the venue with ID.
Excellent shot in rhythm BDJ.
If you keep playing with fire you're bound to get burned.
Nader should be benched every time he shoots a three. They're leaving you open for a reason....you are an awful shooter. You do a good job off the dribble...do that.

Lots of spelling and grammatical errors, too many to note here. A little proof read should sort those out!

Gameplay is quite smooth, but I find it a little hard to follow that in the cutscenes the Boff Dialogue is written at the bottom in big letters, but my character responses are written in a speech bubble over my head. I'm used to my dialogue being at the bottom, this was particularly annoying in "Trade Craft"

The MOF has recently approved the opening of three offices by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao. Localisation has been one of the basic strategies of KPMG China's operations.
The award recognises a select number of leading professional firms and advisers that have performed to exceptional levels, even during the most difficult period that the global economy has experienced for decades.
What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
Despite rising costs in China and the subsequent implications for manufacturers, a unique mix of factors is prompting new value propositions in the country as companies re-align strategies and adapt to changing economic conditions.
The content is based on the responses of 213 senior business decision-makers across five key countries: Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It analyses the state of D&A maturity across the Asia-Pacific region.

Guy Who Ripped Off, Lied To Kim Kardashian's 72 Day Husband Pleads Guilty
Remember Andrey Hicks? To recap, he's the guy who was arrested last year (trying to make a run for Switzerland) and had his assets frozen by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which took issue with the fact that, in addition to stealing a couple million from investors in his Locust Offshore Management fund, he'd fed them a "brazen web of lies" that included: the claim he received a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from Harvard in two years (he neither earned his doctorate from Harvard nor his undergraduate degree and in fact only lasted three semesters in Cambridge, taking a single math course, in which he got a D-); the claim that while working at Barclays Capital, he increased his group's assets under management to $16 billion, despite BarCap having no record of his employment; the claim that at Locust, he applied "quantitative strategies based on mathematical models he developed at Harvard"; the claim that Ernst & Young was the fund's auditor, Credit Suisse its prime broker and custodian, even though the SEC report was the first either had heard of the guy. Anyway, he's probably going to spend some time in jail.
Securities And Exchange Commission Not Amused By Hedge Fund Manager's "Web Of Lies"
Yesterday afternoon, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it had frozen the assets of "purported" Boston-based quant named Andrey C. Hicks. Purported because, was he actually a quant? Not so much! Other small inaccuracies in his story with which the regulator took issue, describing the total as Hicks' "brazen web of lies":
God Not Pleased With House Lloyd Blankfein Built
And here's what he's doing about it! If he's told you fuckers once, he's told you a thousand times– "do not cheap out on the new pussy palace." And yet, here you are, going to Home Depot and just buying any old piece of easily shattered glass you can find, instead of the good stuff. […]

Reflection Post IPSS Placement Presentations
On Tuesday August 19, the 2014 cohort of the International Professional Service Semester (IPSS) program conducted their placement presentations of their semester-long experience in front of a select group of faculty and staff. As Graduate Assistant for GSIPM Immersive Learning and Special Programs, I took an active role behind the scenes, taking on the logistics to ensure that each of the Fellows were able to connect to the designated conference rooms where an anxious audience was expected to learn about their experience.
The task was challenging, as I had to make sure that all the technical details were taken care of for the 23 fellows to be able to connect smoothly from several countries and across several time zones. However, the job gave the unique opportunity to participate in the sessions and learn about the amazing work that each of the fellows has been doing at each of their placements for the past 3-6 months.
As a MIIS student accepted to IPSS for Spring 2015 and currently looking for placement opportunities, listening to the students' presentations solidified the notion that doing IPSS in Spring 2015 is the right choice for my future, and here is why:
Firstly, I was impressed by the way that each of the fellows presented him or herself. They were all confident and used technical language that made them sound like real subject matter experts. For a bit it was hard to believe that just a few months ago they were just students in the classroom like me, because I would expect that such level of professionalism and technical expertise would only come from seasoned professionals. I know for fact, that those are skills that can't be necessarily learned in a classroom, which to me was a statement of the value of IPSS as an immersive learning option.
Secondly, none of the fellows mentioned having regretted doing IPSS and all of them were visibly happy with the end results of their placements. Even though, there were some difficulties – which are all part of the professional growth process – all of the fellows managed to overcome them and make the most out of their experience. When asked by faculty about what they would have done differently, the overwhelming majority answered that early preparation is key and in terms of defining their role and specific tasks. I, of course, adopted that reflection as a recommendation that will be implementing in the upcoming months.
Finally, when asked about future plans, the majority of fellows responded that thanks to the IPSS experience they were able to ensure employment either at their host organizations or at another location that they were introduced to thanks to their IPSS placements. This statement adds value to the notion that immersive learning ensures a solid bridging between the academic and professional worlds, which is very unique to the MIIS experience.
My congratulations go to each of the 2014 IPSS fellows for their success and I thank you all for being such great role models.

An Inside Look at Peace Trade and Development: "Innovative, Different and an Empowering Experience"
As a summer graduate assistant at the Monterey Institute, my daily tasks range from marketing programs, providing logistical support and even learning to cook hot-dogs on charcoal at Del Monte Beach. However, the best part by far is being able to be a part of the institute's many summer programs such as FMS, DPMI, and PTD, or Peace Trade and Development. This summer I was lucky enough to actively participate on the many site visits with PTD. I'm pleased to share stories from our fascinating excursions:
When asked to describe the Monterey Institute's Peace Trade and Development program, Reed College graduate Shruti Korada could not have said it better when she remarked, "PTD has made development come alive for me."
In this simple statement, Shruti made reference to her learning and experiencing of complex development topics in the most hands-on and real-life way possible. The program included class sessions taught by top-notch MIIS faculty and many immersive site visits on the Central Coast.
Alumni Joel Saldana commented that PTD teaches students how to, "One, identify what the global issues are today, and beyond Identifying, two is understanding what those issues are, and the third part of that is for those individuals to figure out how they can try to be a part of the solution to those problems."
Aside from the signature pedagogy in the classroom, the immersive excursions allowed the students to see peace, trade and development "come to life." They began their transformational journey learning about local and global development in Santa Cruz, where they visited the Homeless Garden Project and the Firelight Foundation. After meeting with Global Supply Chain managers from Tesla Motors, they traveled on site to pitch a proposal about where should be the next source for lithium batteries.
After the visit, PTD Alum Jose Alvarez was most inspired by Tesla's "drive for having no limits, literally. If somebody were to talk to me about going to the moon for lithium or washing away the whole oil industry, I'd probably laugh and walk away. When Tesla talks about that, though, you can't help but to listen carefully and with all seriousness because you get this strange feeling that they actually could. Tesla embodies innovation. They're the bold company the future needs for getting here."
Salsabeel Khan described Tesla as, "an environment where even the sky isn't the limit. Do you want to go to space? Go to space!"
The students also traveled to the Wells Fargo headquarters in San Francisco, where they met with MIIS alumni working in the Global Financial Crimes Intelligence department. Students learned how the department monitors financial transactions to prevent money laundering and corruption. Some students, such as Nyoma Clement were very intrigued by this field, and the visit helped them direct their career aspirations.
Clement remarked, "Actually my coming to MIIS has helped me reexamine myself as to what I need to learn in life. I have decided I wanted to do risk management. I really want to work in the area of regulatory compliance and managing political risk around the world and financial risk. I want to study how risk can be used to help governments, NGOs and the corporate world in accomplishing the tasks they have set forth."
The immersive site visits solidified and transformed the career goals for many by allowing the students to speak with the professionals in the field. However, not only did they learn from the professionals in the field, as well as the expert MIIS faculty, but they learned immensely from each other. Just by sharing car rides, lunches and occasional trips to salsa dancing, I could tell how much the students had inspired one other. Their interests in the complex development topics were expanded and defined. To sum it up in four words, Jose Alvarez describes PTD as "innovative, different and an empowering experience."

GSIPM Welcomes New Interim Dean – Jeff Dayton-Johnson
As a GA in the GSIPM office, I like to try and stay in-the-know about what's going on in my department and around campus.
As it turns out, fall 2014 will usher in some changes. Yuwei Shi will begin to turn his attention to the new Center for Social Impact Learning (CSIL), and teaching in the MBA program. As the founding dean of GSIPM, Yuwei Shi has shaped the Institute in significant ways, helping meld the separate policy and business schools into one school (GSIPM) in 2009. He will officially step down at the end of December, and in the meantime Jeff will serve concurrently, and then continue as interim dean from January 1 through June 30, 2015.
I had a chance to sit down with Jeff recently to chat about what's going on, and what this means for us students.
During fall semester, he'll be a busy guy – still chairing the IPS department and teaching classes in addition to job shadowing the current dean. He feels pretty fortunate for the overlap, and is looking forward to "learning what the rules of the game are," getting to know colleagues from other parts of campus.
I asked him if he'll continue teaching in the spring and he mentioned that none of the deans currently teach any classes. So if you haven't had a class with Jeff yet – get in on one this semester before he's off the market! There's also a chance he'll teach a J-Term class or two, but nothing's been decided for sure.
What new policies or priorities is the interim dean eager to tackle first? He says he'll be pushing for the immersive learning programs. "We have an exciting portfolio for students, and a lot of them are working really well," he said. "DPMI and DPMI Plus are great examples. The challenge is the monetary one – it's so exciting, but students ultimately opt out for financial reasons." He also mentioned that sometimes students have trouble fitting them into their schedules or finding enough credits to participate. "If we really believe these are such valuable programs, we should find a way to make them more accessible."
This is certainly something I can agree with, and I wish him the best of luck! President Ramaswamy encouraged Jeff to think long-term in regards to his new role, and reflect on what's working well, and what could be replicated. If everything goes smoothly, Jeff will likely apply for the official position in the spring.
In the meantime, he says, "If anybody is reading this and has something to share, please come see me, or email me, I'd be happy to talk." firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also make an appointment through Lauren Patron-Castro, Dean's Assistant: email@example.com
Jeff's Bio:
As program chair of the International Policy Studies program, Jeff has been working with faculty, students, and staff to bring the IPS and MPA programs together within a larger, stronger and more focused program in Development Practice and Policy. As one of the architects of a major piece of curricular reform, he is well positioned to lead and oversee the implementation of new and revitalized programs.
Jeff came to MIIS in 2011, following seven years as a senior economist at the OECD in Paris. At the OECD, Jeff was the first Head of the Americas Desk at the organization's Development Centre; the Desk has now overseen the publication of seven annual Latin American Economic Outlook reports on topics ranging from international migration, to fiscal policy to the middle class. In Paris, Jeff built a team of 20 professionals, led policy relevant research and dialogue processes, interacted with policy makers and experts in Latin America and beyond, and oversaw fundraising efforts totaling millions of euros.
Jeff's experience as a policy researcher, manager, and fundraiser in the hyper-politicized bureaucracy of an international organization provided him with a mix of soft skills and thick skin that will serve him well as dean in the comparatively upbeat realm of GSIPM.
Prior to moving to the OECD, Jeff was a tenured associate professor of economics and international development studies at Dalhousie University in Canada. At Dalhousie, he coordinated the university's Master in Development Economics (MDE) program, which, much like many of GSIPM's degree programs, trains professional policy analysts with a passion for global issues. Jeff earned a Ph.D. in economics at the University of California, Berkeley.

Celebrating its First Decade, DPMI Goes through Renewal, Reinvention!
At its core a cutting-edge institution, the unique, intensive, development-focused three-week Development Project Management Institute (DPMI) program seems ageless. Nonetheless, as "nae man can tether time or tide" (in the words of Robert Burns), 10 years have passed since its inception, and that is worth celebrating. "A decade of DPMI has produced over 1,000 alumni using their skills everywhere in the world," remarks founder and fearless leader Professor Beryl Levinger.
This year also marks the change of the official name of the program from Development Project Management Institute to Design, Partnering, Management and Innovation – still DPMI! Levinger shares that the "process of renewal and reinvention means seeing ourselves not only as responders to international development trends, but also shapers of them."
The DPMI alumni network is vibrant, diverse, and a source of wonderful social capital for past, present, and future program participants, says Levinger, noting also that there is "nothing more rewarding than seeing a DPMI team in action responding to a development challenge by drawing on culturally diverse perspectives, deep social interaction, and a rich toolbox of tools and approaches." Apart from Monterey and Washington D.C., the program has been offered in Ecuador, Egypt, Rwanda, and beginning this year, in Kenya.
DPMI alumni are encouraged to share their stories on the anniversary website found at go.miis.edu/dpmi.

USAID Releases guide to Strengthening Civil Society Through Social Media
Social Networking: A Guide to Strengthening Civil Society through Social Media has been developed as a reference guide for civil society organizations (CSOs) working in partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development and its implementing partners in advancing their critical missions. In line with the USAID Strategy on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (June 2013), this manual is designed as a blueprint for CSOs to:
• Integrate and use technology to promote democracy, human rights and governance;
• Utilize social media to support greater citizen participation and transparent political
processes; and
• Strengthen mutual accountability among CSOs, government institutions and
citizens by creating real-time and direct interaction and organizing.
Social media operations are most effective when they are strategically incorporated as part of an organization's outreach, program design and implementation, and monitoring and evaluation efforts. With this in mind, the guide is intended as a local capacity building tool to strengthen the ability of entire organizations, their staff and members to deliver greater impact. This guide (Version 1, 2014), presents an overview of the most widely-used and accessible
social media tools. Future manuals will capture developments in the social media.
Social Networking: A Guide to Strengthening Civil Society through Social Media includes interactive features such
as links to multimedia content, websites and workouts to help civil society organizations engage and share information.

How do MIIS students feel about the future?
Be the solution…now, that is a daunting idea. So, where do we start at MIIS given that this is our core goal? Here's an idea, let's start by asking ourselves who we are as people and what motivates us to act. I'll begin by sharing my latest inspiration in honor of the United Nations International Day of Youth – please chime in with your comments below!
Youth, Optimism and Peace
Young people living in less peaceful countries tend to be far more optimistic about the state of the future than their pessimistic peers living in more peaceful countries.
Originally published by Vision of Humanity on 12 Aug 2014
As the world celebrates the International Day of Youth, we ask how the 1.8 billion young people around the world feel about the future, and what this means for peace.
Using our own measures of internal peace and comparing them to qualitative data on levels of optimism and pessimism about the future, we were able to determine if levels of peace in a society impact on the optimism of the youth. The results might surprise you…
From a range of survey data is seems that young people living in countries with low levels of peace are, on average, pretty optimistic about the future.
While this may be surprising as those living in less peaceful countries tend to face greater barriers to development and often have less opportunities, their optimism about the future is promising, as future leaders this is the kind of thinking we like to see.
Not only that, but optimism is a key ingredient in the recipe for high levels of human capital, meaning it is one of the essential stepping stones on the path to a more peaceful future.
IEP estimates that 86% of the youth living in less peaceful countries (purple) are optimistic about the future, compared to 50% in relatively peaceful countries (yellow). Additionally, only 1% of people in low peace countries are pessimistic about the future, compared to 7% in high peace countries (see image below).
On the flip side we see that young people living in peaceful countries are more pessimistic about the future.
Having said this, it's not all doom and gloom for those fortunate enough to live in peaceful countries.
In fact, if we look at relative response rates we can see that optimism across the board is about 10 times more prevalent than pessimism.
If you are living in a peaceful country then… brighten up! Yes you have a long way to go in creating a more peaceful world, and better life for yourself than the generation that proceeds you, but you also need to recognise that living in a peaceful country gives you access to a lot more opportunities.
Living in a not so peaceful country? Explore what makes a society peaceful and take a look around your local community to see what can be done at the grassroots level to start creating a more peaceful and prosperous future for you and the generations to come.

MIIS Resource Centers and Initiatives: A world of possibilities just around the corner from you!
The concept of Immersive Learning is a significant component of the MIIS experience. Every student is encouraged to take advantage of the many venues available to expand his/her skills and knowledge beyond the classroom setting. Luckily, students do not need to look too far, as the Monterey Institute is home to an important number of research centers and initiatives available for students to explore innovative and original approaches to pressing global issues.
From the possibility of participating in relevant internships and fellowships, to the opportunity to conduct further research and the chance to be published in scholarly journals, faculty and staff at each of the eight research centers and initiatives are available to supplement the students' learning process, by exposing them to specialized resources and tools.
- The Center for the Blue Economy (CBE) explores the economic contributions of the oceans and coasts to human welfare, as well as the current economic drivers that undermine ocean health.
- The Center for Conflict Studies (CCS) develops programs and publications contributing to the exploration of conflict, from understanding its causes to developing tools and skills to resolve conflicts in a non-violent manner.
- The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) sponsors research, seminars and lectures relating to contemporary issues pertaining to the region of East Asia (China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia and Taiwan).
- The Center for Social Impact Learning (CSIL), the newest research center on campus, provides programs for budding social entrepreneurs and conducts research on management issues in social ventures and impact investing.

Tesla Pitch Continued: Cobalt, Graphite and Lithium
Last week the Peace Trade and Development (PTD) students met with Tesla's global trade team at the factory in Fremont. The students were there to offer their pitch to the Tesla Challenge which called for proposals on sourcing raw materials for the new Gigafactory. In addition to the pitch session, the students were treated to lunch and a VIP tour of the Tesla factory, an impressive and re-purposed building conveniently situated in a California Free Trade Zone. "I was treating the presentation like a final exam, but when it came time to present, I had realized that we were speaking to real individuals with genuine concerns about their long-term acquisition of critical minerals. This wasn't a quiz–my team had done in-depth research, provided a reasonable strategy, and were ready to have a conversation about alternatives." – Shruti Korada, PTD summer 2014 student What was the best part of the Tesla challenge? Well, that's subjective but things definitely got intriguing when one team suggested sourcing Lithium from the moon and another proposed a corporate-backed coup d'etat… Learn more about the PTD program via: go.miis.edu/ptd.

DPMI: A learning journey
I had heard repeatedly on campus that DPMI (Design, Partnering, Management and Innovation) is one of the most useful courses you can take. I found this hard to believe at first, but now I agree. If you haven't taken this leadership training in international development project management and social change then you should reconsider.
You will walk away from the DPMI training having learned some ground-breaking and 'tried and true' tools to solving your next problem, motivating your staff or making your next big partnership. Tools that break down these processes into quantifiable, qualifiable methods to be used at a given moment or throughout the lifespan of a project.
If you are a non-profit guru, a development practitioner in training, or a social change maker then you will notice, quickly, that these tools and capacities that DPMI finds so important are actually pretty important. This is how USAID, and other major non-profit employers do it, and whether you like it or not USAID often sets the standard. Additionally, from the United Nations to grassroots organizations, from CSR departments to State department recruiters–most are looking for project management skills. DPMI fits them nicely into the longest three weeks of your life (Yes, I've thrown in a bit of sarcasm). It's worth it though. I implore you to find one job posting that doesn't ask for project management skills.

Incoming MPA Student Reaches-out to Faculty To Develop Ultimate International Development Summer Reading List!
Returning to school after some time away from academia is a precious challenge. However being in school is also a commodity. While most of my undergraduate peers are beginning their careers, perhaps even starting to put down roots, graduate students choose to go back to school in order to further their education and get closer to their career goals. As a recently accepted Master of Public Administration (MPA) student at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS), I understand the initial fears and concerns students may have upon starting a new program. It has been about four months since I received the good news and I have had plenty of time to determine how I feel about attending MIIS in the fall. Although I am overall excited and grateful, I am honestly a bit nervous. Seeing that my academic skills seemed rusty I took it upon myself to email the MPA program faculty requesting ideas, readings, books, articles, and any other resource I should look at before classes start in August. Unsurprisingly, the faculty was supportive and accommodating. The following is a list of 18 recommended readings from Monterey Institute MPA and MAIPS faculty:
- Take a look online at William Arrocha's and Nuket Khardam's syllabi for their development theory courses here at MIIS.
- Study and absorb UNDP's concept of human development.
- Browse the last ten years of the World Bank's World Development Report.
- The Anti-Politics Machine by James Ferguson
- Ideas for Development by Robert Chambers
- Provocations for Development by Robert Chambers
- The Honor Code by Kwame Appiah
- Capital by Thomas Piketty (Editor's Note: The GSIPM Dean may take you out to lunch if you read every word of this 600-page monster!)
- The Tyranny of Experts by William Easterly
- Social Physics by Alex Pentland
- Humble Enquiry by Edgar Schein
- Power of Development by Jonathon Crush
- Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
- The Routes of Man by Ted Conover
- Why Nations Fail by Daren Acemoglu
- Encountering Development by Arturo Escobar
- "Organizational Assessment: a Framework for Improving Performance" (Free book available here http://www.idrc.ca/openebooks/998-4/).
- To get more immersed in policy, review the articles in https://www.project-syndicate.org/ (This website publishes policy concerns and ideas of leading global thinkers and policymakers).
After taking a look at this list, it became apparent that in order to succeed at MIIS, students must be engaged and passionate about their programs. Without a passion and thirst for knowledge, completing a graduate degree program would be an insurmountable task. Incoming MIIS students may be a bit hesitant or nervous about the challenge ahead. Although these feelings are natural, it is necessary to rise above, be proactive and start to materialize your short and long-term goals. MIIS provides the resources and opportunities; it is up to us, the incoming graduate students to bring the passion and innovation. It is time to start preparing and planning for a bright future here at MIIS. About the Author: Chris Callaghan is an incoming Master of Public Administration (MPA) Candidate for the fall 2014 semester. He is a graduate of the University of California Santa Cruz.

FMS Field Placements and DPMI Plus: Taking the MIIS experience to the world
This summer, the name of the Monterey Institute has been heard in over 15 countries in 5 continents as 27 fellows are participating in a series of immersive learning experiences. Each of those placements have been ensured thanks to MIIS' immersive learning options offered to participants of the Frontier Market Scouts (FMS) and, the newly renamed, Design, Partnering, Management & Innovation (DPMI) program, in its optional practicum – also known as DPMI Plus.
FMS provide participants with a specialized 2-week training for those interested in a career in social enterprise management and impact investing. The training happens twice a year in Monterey and Amsterdam. After the training, participants have the option to apply their recently acquired knowledge in a 2-12 month placement in which the fellows are expected to help conceptualize a business idea, develop a business plan and an entrepreneurial team, provide due diligence, obtain investment capital, and scale businesses. This summer, the program have helped place 14 fellows who are supporting social entrepreneurship ventures in Cameroon, Costa Rica, Ghana, Guatemala, Hungary, the Netherlands, Rwanda and the United States. To learn more about FMS Practicum Placements visit the FMS Blog.
DPMI is a professional certificate training program that prepares participants for a career in managing international development projects. The training has several offerings in the winter and summer in Monterey, Washington, DC, Rwanda and Kenya. After the training, MIIS-enrolled participants have the option to complete a 3-9 month internship in which they apply DPMI skills to benefit the host organization, while earning academic training towards their degree program. This summer, the program have placed 13 fellows in internships supporting development ventures in Burundi, Colombia, Fiji, Kenya, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda and the United States.

PTD Breaking Ground for Local Development at the Homeless Garden Project
Last Friday, PTD students were able to actively experience Development, one of the three pillars of the Peace Trade and Development program. Their first site visit was at the Homeless Garden Project in Santa Cruz. The Homeless Garden Project is a non-profit and an organic farm that provides job training, transitional employment and support services to the homeless. The peaceful atmosphere and creative projects offered a healing and transformational environment. Many of Santa Cruz's homeless population come to the garden to relax, receive a meal and even work for minimum wage.
The Peace Trade and Development students spent the morning touring the site and weeding rows of plants. They also joined community volunteers and farm employees for lunch—an organic and vegan meal sourced mostly from the garden. After lunch the students had a blast washing dishes.

The IPSS Experience: Jia Ren
The International Professional Semester Service (IPSS) program has provided hundreds of MIIS graduates with the opportunity to head start their professional career, while serving in an international organization as junior professional staff member. Some fellows have even used the IPSS experience to catapult themselves to become subject matter experts, as it is the case of Jia Ren (MAIPS Trade, Investment & Development 2014).
For her placement at the Bay Area Council Economic Institute (BACEI), Jia contributed to a report entitled: Trade in the Bay Area: Investment and Global Financial Flows. The work, led by BACEI and sponsored by HSBC Bank USA, analyzed the trade, investment and commercial relations between the Bay Area and its major global trading partners, especially China, focusing on informing business leaders and other decision-makers about the potential for increased business growth in the region.
International Professional Service Semester (IPSS) is an immersive learning experience, integrating academic work with professional experience. Students serve as junior professional staff members in an international organization while producing specific deliverables for academic credit. The IPSS program is offered through the Graduate School of International Policy and Management (GSIPM) during the spring semester. For more information about IPSS please visit: go.miis.edu/ipss

The Tesla Pitch
Our friends from Tesla visited the MIIS campus last week. They started off the day by meeting with the Peace, Trade, and Development (PTD) summer program students. PTD students learned about what it takes to snag a job at Tesla and work under the driving force of Elon Musk's vision. This is just the beginning of the MIIS-Tesla exchange. Next week, PTD students will visit the Tesla Gigafactory in Fremont where they will present ideas for the next electric car battery innovation.
The Challenge
The efficiency of the car battery is the lifeblood of moving Tesla forward. PTD students are posed with the Gigafactory challenge question – what are the optimal raw materials to source for battery cell manufacturing? To arrive at a solid pitch, students will analyze a broad scope of factors, including:
- From where and from whom can the materials be sourced?
- What locations are optimal from a customs duty/tax and logistics cost perspective?
- "Outside the box" ideas and key factors to consider in the sourcing decision
Interested in hearing about how the pitch goes? Stay tuned for an update in the next few days. In the meantime, you can enjoy this video!
