Schloss Leopoldskron with fortress in the background.
CPGC-Sponsored Program Sends Faculty Members to Prestigious Salzburg Global Seminar
A program sponsored by the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) is giving Haverford faculty members a new way of bringing a global perspective to their classrooms.
In 2008, the CPGC entered into a partnership with the Salzburg Global Seminar, one of Europe's most prestigious forums for discussing contemporary issues of global concern. Founded in 1947, the program brings international leaders in the academic, business, and nonprofit sectors together for week-long sessions in Salzburg, Austria, in the Schloss Leopoldskron, a historic 1700s palace (where several exterior shots for The Sound of Music were filmed). The seminars are dedicated to exploring innovative solutions for worldwide problems. The CPGC has established a fellowship which annually allows one faculty member to attend a seminar.
"This is an emerging opportunity for faculty to benefit both personally and professionally, and to use the resources of the Center to globalize the Haverford community," says CPGC Director Parker Snowe '79.
Professor of History Paul Smith, former academic director of the CPGC, was the first Haverford faculty member to attend a Salzburg Global Seminar; in November 2007, he participated in "The Dynamic Economies of China and India: What Lessons for Others?" in order to assess the program for future faculty involvement.
He calls his experience "transformative." "For me, the week-long symposium constituted a crash course in Chinese and Indian social change and economic development," he says. "With respect to China itself, the seminar had an immediate impact on my course on the Chinese revolution (History 263). I changed the last three weeks of readings to incorporate my Chinese colleagues' insights and views on the importance of China's economic development."
Smith felt that the diversity of leaders brought together by the seminars makes the program's collaboration with Haverford a beneficial partnership for everyone involved. "Haverford-sponsored fellows gain valuable professional contacts, the CPGC gains new internship opportunities, and the College gains increased international exposure and prestige among prominent intellectuals and decision-makers worldwide."
This year, Assistant Professor of Political Science Susanna Wing was the recipient of the CPGC's fellowship, and traveled to a seminar called "Islamic and International Law: Searching for Common Ground," which took place October 25-30. For Wing, whose research interests include women's rights, Africa and development, this was her first chance to study Islamic law with legal scholars, in particular those who specialize in classical interpretations of the Koran. She will incorporate what she's learned in a new seminar she'll be teaching in the fall of 2009, "Islam, Democracy, and Development."
Over the course of the five days, Wing and her colleagues were involved in panel discussions and working groups focusing on such topics as family law, inheritance rights, marriage and divorce, how women's rights are protected by international laws, and Islamic law's compatibility with international law. Wing learned how Islamic law functions, and how interpretations of that law and of the Koran are understood.
"It was astonishing to have been in such a diverse group, with people from all over the world who all had the same issues and concerns. We had constant conversations about the topics," she says. Wing is now part of a listserv of seminar attendees that offers a place for continuing online discussions about Islamic law as it pertains to news of the day.
Wing has already used what she learned at the seminar in her "Women in War and Peace" class, and will tailor a whole section of her fall seminar around the subject of Islamic law. She also put her new knowledge to use during a talk she recently gave at the African Studies Association Annual Meeting in Chicago, where she discussed Moroccan family law reform.

Chanel designs for Marks and Spencer...and she's from Nottingham
Posted: May 14, 2014|
A FASHION student from Nottingham has been chosen to work for high street giant Marks & Spencer.
Chanel Folkes, who is studying fashion design at Nottingham Trent University, has been asked to produce a range of menswear products after she won a national competition earlier this year.
The 22-year-old will work for the company for three months from July at the retailer's studio in Shoreditch, London, creating three new items.
Ms Folkes was noticed by M&S after submitting a series of womenswear designs, which she described as having a "boxy, angular, masculine style".

The work she will create for M&S will be used as part of the firm's Best of British collection. A limited run of her designs will be sold online and at the retailer's Marble Arch store in 2015.
Ms Folkes, who lives in Lower Parliament Street, said she was ecstatic when she found out she had been picked. "It didn't hit me straight away, I was just so overwhelmed," she said. "The fact that they actually appreciated my work was incredible.
"I think what they do is very clever, it's all about bringing British manufacturing, British fabric and British heritage back into fashion."
Ms Folkes, who is originally from Birmingham, was attracted to Nottingham Trent for its reputation for art and design. She said creating clothes was what she had always wanted to do.
Ms Folkes added: "I just love fashion, looking for new styles. I am such a creative person and always have lots of different ideas.
"It's the career I always wanted to go into, I've never wanted to do anything else."
Tony O'Connor, head of design for menswear at Marks & Spencer, said Ms Folkes had shown a great awareness of their style and some real talent. He said: "When judging the competition, Chanel's design, focus and creativity really stood out.
"She showed an incredible enthusiasm for fashion, a strong commercial awareness and had a really good understanding of our brand.
"Over summer she will have the chance to see her work go from sketch to finished garment stage and then on sale in store next year."
Trent's fashion students have over the past few months been head-hunted by some of the biggest labels in the country, with George at Asda and Ted Baker expressing interest.
Gilly Staples, principal lecturer in fashion design, said she was delighted by Ms Folke's achievements.
"I'm really pleased for Chanel," she said.
"Her success reflects the importance our courses place on combining creativity with commerciality.
"This ensures our students are very employable which is recognised by industry."

Chinese Doctors Attach Hand To Foot
Source: ABC News
Hand it to Chinese doctors. When Xiao Wei suffered a work accident and lost his right hand, surgeons couldn't reattach it immediately, so they replanted it on his ankle. Doctors drew on the blood supply from Wei's leg to keep the hand alive until they could sew it back on a month later. The Chinese are "pretty experienced in microsurgery," one British surgeon told the BBC.

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner: how to spin a divorce
GONZALO /Bauergriffin.com, Boaz /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES, Steve Zak Photography /Kris Connor /Getty Images
Since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner confirmed that they're divorcing on Tuesday, after all the magazines went to print, and when everyone was slowing down for the upcoming Independence Day weekend, all entertainment outlets have been rushing out their versions of why their marriage fell apart. Full Story
Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner: it's done
Ivan Nikolov /WENN
Every Friday for the last few weeks, we've been bracing for it, haven't we? The Friday bury. Since it's Canada Day tomorrow, and most of us in Canada are currently wrapping up for the day off, it does feel, for us here anyway, like a Friday bury. The timing works in America too as it's Independence Day on Saturday and many in the US are taking an extra long weekend. Full Story
The Afflecks are renovating
FameFlynet, Bauer-Griffin/ Bauergriffin.com/ Splash News
There were moving trucks seen outside Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's home. As you know, for weeks now there have been rumours about an imminent split. Naturally that was the first assumption. Then PEOPLE reported that the Afflecks are simply renovating. Full Story
Ben Affleck's "many vices"
While PEOPLE Magazine is banking on Big G on the cover to sell this week's issue, US Weekly's going with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner "in crisis". Lower level tabloids have been reporting on this since April. And for the last 3 weeks, Ben and Jen have stepped out on weekends to the farmer's market – because no paps ever hang out there – to try to send a message. Full Story
Three weeks in a row
FameFlynet, Splash News
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were at the Brentwood Farmer's Market yesterday buying fresh fruit and vegetables to feed their healthy, thriving family in their happy home. With a big smile on her face, Jen smelled the flowers and sampled the berries. Obviously they don't know that the paps hang out there every weekend. Full Story
Crisis averted?
Wenn, FameFlynet
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were out on the weekend, all happy happy family. Two weeks in a row now that we've seen them put on a show of togetherness after several weeks of divorce speculation. The message of course is that the magazines lied. And that they're always wrong. And that they're as strong as they ever were. Full Story
Ben Affleck on duty
Caitlyn Jenner's reveal this week helped a lot of people. Ben Affleck might be one of them. Because he was feeling the heat last week amid all the divorce speculation, even after he and Jennifer Garner were conveniently photographed taking their children out – click here Full Story
The Afflecks send a message
For a couple of weeks now, several tabloids have been reporting on the alleged imminent demise of the Jennifer Garner-Ben Affleck marriage. And yesterday the New York Daily News published a story about how the two are "leading separate lives" citing several sources who claim that they hardly spend any time together. Full Story
Ben Affleck explains
GONZALO/ Bauer-Griffin/ Getty Images
Ben Affleck was featured in Finding Your Roots last year on PBS. During the research process, it was discovered that he had ancestors who were slave owners. He asked Henry Louis Gates Jr (Skip) to not include that part in the episode. Click here for a refresher if you missed that article from Monday. Full Story
The Afflecks at the Senate
Kris Connor/ Paul Morigi/ Leigh Vogel/ Getty Images
This is really cute. And also really interesting. Ben Affleck was in DC today, along with Bill Gates, to address the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations. There was a Batman mention, obviously. I think he's going to ride closer to the RDJ approach to being a superhero as opposed to the Christian Bale one: Mention it whenever you can. Full Story
"Some dinners are worth fighting for"
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Jennifer Garner is currently promoting Danny Collins. It's about Al Pacino. He's a songwriter but he writes sh-t songs and then Christopher Plummer, his manager (?), shows him a letter that John Lennon intended for him and I guess he's rethinking his entire career. Then he goes off to find his long lost son. Full Story

Superhero Face Punch now has Parts I and II
INFphoto.com/ Splash
Earlier this week I got a document in my email listing projected release dates for trailers, and I noticed that Superhero Face Punch had a projected February trailer date. I thought that was a bit odd since its release, March 25, 2016, is more than a year away. But today a screenshot purported to be from the first trailer surfaced on Reddit, and it shows the film has been split into two parts: Superhero Face Punch Part I: First Punch will come out on October 23, 2015 and Superhero Face Punch Part II: The Punchening will stick with the March 25, 2016 date.

Possible Solution. The strategy here, one that all annuity buyers should heed, is to make sure the insurance company with whom you are contracting for your annuity is in tip-top financial shape. Look at its marks from the various insurance-company ratings agencies. Even if you can get a better deal from a lower-rated company, for instance, one whose ratings grades look like my grammar-school report cards, don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
If you're thinking of putting quite a bit of money into a fixed income annuity, consider spreading the money around among a few top-rated insurance companies. The money you have in a variable income annuity is actually held in a variety of mutual funds of your choosing. Since the insurance company is required by law to keep the funds separate from the company's books, the demise of the insurance company should be of less concern, but the fund values themselves could decline. Even with the protection of your money being held in separate accounts, opt for financially strong insurance companies.
Drawback Number 5: It's an irreversible financial commitment. After considering all of the drawbacks I have described, you may still be uneasy with what is, after all, a major financial commitment that usually can't be undone. Certainly, income annuities are not crucial, nor do they need to be acquired in a single purchase.
Possible Solution. Annuities are by no means an essential retirement income tool. If you simply are turned off by any annuity, fine. There are many ways to generate needed retirement income. For example, you can create your own income annuity by investing in dividend-paying stocks, bonds, and other interest-earning securities. Alternatively, you could give an income annuity a test run by initially investing only a portion of the money you might ultimately put into annuities and then deciding later on if you want to purchase more.
"Gradual" is the word. A stage-by-stage approach to income annuities has other advantages besides beginning by investing a reduced amount in an annuity. By waiting to commit additional money to an annuity, you can increase your income considerably. For example, a male purchaser of a $100,000 fixed-payment annuity would receive about $7,800 if he bought it at age sixty-five, $8,900 at age seventy, and $10,500 at age seventy-five. Delaying an annuity purchase can also be advantageous if current interest rates are very low, as they are now.
Since fixed annuity payouts are partially tied to the interest rates prevailing at the time the annuity is purchased, waiting until interest rates have risen can make good sense. Deferring the decision for all or part of the money you may earmark to an annuity also allows you to modify your plans based on your changing financial or health circumstances. Say, for example, that you purchased a small annuity when you retired, with the intention of buying more later. If your or your spouse's or partner's health status takes a turn for the worse, you can adjust your annuity choices accordingly. If your health has taken a turn for the worse that could diminish your life expectancy, then you probably don't want to take out a lifetime annuity.

Diana Nyad finishes record-setting swim from Cuba to Florida
FLORIDA - Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad is officially the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, ending a 35-year quest to complete the mission.
Nyad, 64, completeed her goal on her fifth attempt to make the treacherous swim. It's her fourth attempt in the last three years. The Los Angeles native left Marina Hemingway in Cuba on Aug. 31 at 8:59 a.m.
For Nyad, the Cuba-to-Florida swim has been an elusive dream for her over the last 35 years. Her first attempt came back in 1978 at age 28. Nyad tried again in 2010, 2011 and twice in 2012. Each time, dehydration, overwhelming exhaustion and encounters with poisonous jellyfish have forced her to abandon the mission.

Now whether you're watching the Puppy Bowl, or actual humans playing football, or a Jennifer Aniston rom-com (that was a trick - if you said yes to that, we can't be friends), nothing goes with it better than a big bowl of spicy chili, right? I've had Cookin' Vegan's recipe for Sweet Potato, Chipotle Sausage, & Pumpkin Ale Chili bookmarked for months now, just waiting for the right day to make it. I mean it has three of my favorite things right there in the title: Sweet Potatoes? Check. Field Roast Chipotle Sausages? Check. Pumpkin Ale? Hell yes!
This chili is a snap to make, and the combination of spices smells simply amazing while simmering on the stove. It's warm and satisfying, with the sweet potatoes, sausage, and navy beans, yet also manages to avoid being too heavy and weighing you down after you eat it. And I should know, because it was so tasty that I went in for a second bowlful, even though one was plenty. Don't tell anyone.
Not to be overly dramatic about it, but this chili turned out to be everything I dreamed it would be and more. There was a little sweetness to it, and a lot of spiciness (the most important feature of any chili in my book), and all the flavors melded and went together so incredibly well. I also love having another chili option that isn't the usual tomato-based variety. It couldn't be any more perfect for dinner on a cold evening, especially one watching a sporting event or whatever else you have on the tube. Except for any show featuring a member of the Kardashian family, because if you're watching that, then you should probably take this pot of chili and pour it directly over your head.

Regolith Excavation Features
Regolith Excavation Challenge
In this challenge, teams design and build robotic machines to excavate simulated lunar soil (regolith). Excavating regolith will be an important part of any construction projects or processing of natural resources on the Moon. The robots are tested in box containing eight tons of simulated lunar regolith that is about 4 meters square and about one-half meter deep. In order to qualify for a prize, a robot must dig up and then dump at least 150 kg of regolith into a container in 30 minutes. The teams with the robots that move the most regolith will claim the three cash prizes. NASA is looking for new ideas for excavation techniques that do not require excessively heavy machines or large amounts of power. None of the teams in the 2007 or 2008 competitions were able to meet the winning criteria. Following the 2008 event, a suggestion was made to find a permanent facility for the box with the simulated lunar regolith and that home was found in the Research Park at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA. The 2009 competition held in October in that new facility, which will also be available year-round for testing of lunar devices.
The California Space Education and Workforce Institute (CSE&WI), part of the California Space Authority, managed this challenge for NASA.
