Until very recently, it felt like I hadn't been thrifting in ages. I used to thrift at least once a week for my shop, but I've sort of put shop updates on the back-burner for a bit while I try to find a better schedule for photographing items and figuring out the overall aesthetic of my shop – do I use a dress form? do I continue modelling the items? should I just hang them?…I digress…all this to say, my thrift store hiatus ended recently because in preparation for a new designers first lookbook I styled and modelled for this past weekend, I headed to a few thrift shops last week to pick up some accessories for the shoot, and of course I found myself getting side tracked and looking for things I'd like to purchase for myself (I'm so bad for this). Sometimes you go thrifting and come away with nothing, and other times it feels like a gold mine. This time around it was a gold mine. I found this vintage houndstooth coat and these shoes (not very weather appropriate, but we weren't going far and they matched my tights…so sue me) for what felt like mere pennies. It may seem silly to be buying coats this late in the winter game, but I almost never ever say no to a coat if I love it, no matter the season. I truly believe when you live in a climate like this, where it's cold more often than not, one can never have too many coat options. Since my coat normally covers my outfit, I'd like for my outer layer to speak for itself and reflect my personal style as best it can…and wearing the same thing everyday gets boring, so, coats!!!
What items can you never say no to? What articles of clothing feel like essentials where you live?

Makerere University School of Law Lecturer, Dr. Busingye Kabumba rolled an acerbic tweetstorm Sunday directed at telecommunications company MTN Uganda, following what he termed as a "case study of corporate arrogance" and "bufere" or fraud.
Ok. Let's go down this route. I had refrained from it, for professional reasons, but @Morhonnie, in his wisdom, has taken us down this lovely path. Let's proceed.
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 27, 2018
It all started a few days ago, when the lawyer sent money via the MTN Mobile Money Service to a "lady in Bukomansimbi" meant to "assist with her father's burial expenses". But unfortunately, the lady did not receive the money, as it went to a wrong/unintended number.
Wonders never cease. I sent mobile money to a wrong @mtnug number yesterday. Called MTN immediately and a 'reversal' was 'initiated'. Was assured that the funds would be credited on my account 'within 24 hours' 1/3
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 27, 2018
To recover the money, Dr. Kabumba decided to contact the MTN, and the customer service advisor told him that MTN guidelines stipulate that when such an incident occurs, the customer is supposed to give them "a 24-hour window for them to try to contact the 'wrong recipient'."
@mtnug's Mr. Ronald Muwaya said that, according to @mtnug Guidelines, a 24 hour window had to be allowed to allow @mtnug to try to contact the 'wrong recipient'.I then enquired as to what would happen at the end of this 24 hour window. @Morhonnie @UCC_Official #MTNUgandaMweddeko
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 27, 2018
Not quite satisfied with the feedback, he "enquired" to know what would happen in case there is no response, citing an example where the wrong recipient deliberately refuses to answer. He was then told that "We just have to wait".
His response was, and this is a direct quote, from my notes: 'We just have to wait' @mtnug @MTNza @Morhonnie Apparently, this is what the @mtnug guidelines stipulated! My next qn was as to what would happen if my call went through and the wrong recipient did not answer.
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 27, 2018
A lot of unconvincing responses as can be seen from the thread, according to Dr. Kabumba, came from the customer service personnel, prompting him to take the matter to Twitter.
This is a case study in corporate arrogance @mtnug. Just so you know, that money was intended for a young lady in Bukomansimbi whose father was buried on Friday. Do you respect her RIGHT to receive funds meant to assist with those burial costs?!! #MTNUgandaMweddeko @UCC_Official https://t.co/7YdPol4ukW
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 27, 2018
When he tweeted, MTN responded saying that for them to resolve such an issue, they must first contact the wrong-slash-unintended receiver, citing internal polices regarding consumer protection and recourse.
Unfortunately the reversal can not be done without authentication from the wrong receiver. We respect all customers and their privacy thus we always seek authentication to make reversals incase they receive money accidentally. In this scenario were the wrong receiver is off, 1/2
— MTN Uganda (@mtnug) May 27, 2018
Section 12 of the Bank of Uganda Mobile Money Guideline 2013 also demands mobile money service providers to ensure that all transactions are transparent in order facilitate "customer trust and ensure protection of customers against abusive practices."
A number of other tweeps took the reply section of the lawyer's thread to also give vent to their previous frustrations with the MTN Mobile Money system, with some customers saying it had taken them weeks to recover their money.
Had a similar issue -it took them a couple of weeks to refund my money -and I diligently followed up 🤷🏾♀ https://t.co/yt4Y4JDJqF
— Dorah C. Mafabi (@DorahMafabi) May 27, 2018
(All the claims made by particular individuals may not necessary be true since in some instances paid social media 'influencers' have been used to fight wars against other companies.)
MTN speaks out
Speaking to SautiTech Monday morning, MTN Uganda Manager for Corporate Communications, Val Okecho acknowledged that there was a bit of unpreparedness in the way their customer service personnel handled Dr. Busingye Kabumba's complaint but insisted that the guidelines and processes that have been set to deal with grievances regarding mobile money transactions have to be followed whether they are "unfair" or "not right".
According to Okecho, when a person contacts MTN that he or she have sent money to an unintended number, "the customer care adviser lodges in a complaint" and "the checks are made to see if you indeed sent the money to a wrong number."
When the company finds that your complaint is true, the wrong receiver is "blocked" from withdrawing that money "until it has been reversed to the rightful owner."
Unlike ordinary transactions where a person is charged for sending money, in this case, he said, the wrong receiver does the transaction "usually at zero cost."
But "in the event that somebody reports that money to us late and the money is already withdrawn," Okecho clarified, "there is nothing much we can do."
He says they can't follow up the process after the wrong receiver has withdrawn the money because they do not have the "legal authority to compel a person to refund that money."
He compared it to "being robbed at an ATM", implying that the bank is not responsible for that.
When the person deliberately refuses to handover the money, MTN, according to Okecho, advises the customer to petition the courts of law, arguing that "the money doesn't first of all belong to MTN … We are only a medium through which the money moves."
The case in this case is fraud or obtaining money by false pretense.
Reliable system
While mistakes in mobile money transactions continue to happen, telecom operators argue that they have taken steps to improve the interface the customers use when sending and receiving money in order to avoid fraud among other related financial criminal activities.
For instance, during a transaction, a mobile money user is provided with several prompts, among which they are able to see the name of the person they are sending the money to.
And, according to Okecho, customers are advised against using a third party to send money. But even when sending money through a mobile money agent, they allow you to check the name of the receiver.
Okecho insists that they can't have control once the wrong receiver has received the money, and when asked what they can do for the victim, he said that "we can guide … we can offer guidance and support, but clearly that is now beyond us."
According to the guidelines set for telecom operators in 2013 by Bank of Uganda and Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to operate the mobile money service, in the event that the customer is not satisfied with how their complaints where handled they can petition the central bank or launch a lawsuit.
"Customers have a right to contact Bank of Uganda in case they are dissatisfied with the way their complaints are being handled by the mobile money service provider," reads part of the guidelines. "Customers who may be dissatisfied with the manner in which the complaints have been handled may resort to alternative legal procedures for redress."
Dr. Kabumba seems to be opting for the latter. In another thread posted after receiving his money on Monday at 10:01am, he said that he was ready for "a constructive dialogue with" MTN "aimed at generating a more constructive/rational policy framework for handling erroneous mobile money transfers."
He added that he would give MTN up to Friday 1st June 2018, and if they haven't responded by then, he wrote, "I will have no option but to explore legal means for more systemic redress using (some of) the law I have now spent close to two decades studying."
@mtnug ~ I am happy to have a constructive dialogue with you, aimed at generating a more constructive/rational policy framework for handling erroneous mobile money transfers @Morhonnie My door is open, in this regard, until Friday 1st June 2018. @MTNza @UCC_Official #MTNMweddeko
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 28, 2018
Most mobile money network operators seem to all have the policy of asking the customer to forward the matter to court once the wrong receiver has already withdrawn the money and refuses to resend it, according to multiple officials we talked to.
But on the issue of having to contact the wrong receiver before it is removed, an Africell official said they only do that when they find out that the receiver has received money from the complainant before. But if it is a first, they instantly remove it, citing an issue of a customer rushing to withdraw it once they are alerted.
When contacted about the matter, Ms Faith Bugonzi, the Airtel public relations manager told us to send her an email, but she had not responded by the time of publishing this story.
Dr. Kabumba says that his decision to move to court is prompted by the fact that he knows there are some people who may not have the "privileges" he exploited to get his issue resolved.
I am under no illusions regarding the circumstances under which I appear to be one of the 'lucky' Ugandans to recover money erroneously sent via @mtnug mobile money!I know I enjoy a degree of privilege,and that the real 'muntu wa wansi' would not be as 'lucky' @mtnug #MTNMweddeko
— Dr Busingye Kabumba (@bkabumba) May 28, 2018
Kabumba was able to recover his money because MTN contacted the wrong receiver before he withdrew it, according to Okecho.

Our penultimate Scout Notes article from Gameweek 5 looks back at the remaining two matches from Saturday, as Manchester United and Arsenal ran out 2-1 winners at Watford and Newcastle United respectively.
Ashley Young (£5.8m) grabbed an assist in Luke Shaw's (£5.1m) absence, while Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) continued his fine run of form by scoring his fourth league goal of the season.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.1m) was once again forced to make do with a cameo appearance off the bench as Mesut Ozil (£8.3m) – who was effectively playing in the Armenian midfielder's stead on the right flank – came away from St. James' Park with a 10-point haul.
Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m), starting together for the second successive league match, both registered "Fantasy assists" as Arsenal secured their third win on the spin.
Reaction to tonight's match between Southampton and Brighton will come tomorrow morning.
Watford 1-2 Manchester United
- Goals: Andre Gray (£6.0m) | Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m), Chris Smalling (£5.8m)
- Assists: Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.9m) | Ashley Young (£5.8m), Marouane Fellaini (£5.0m)
Ashley Young (£5.8m) laid down a marker to absent team-mate Luke Shaw (£5.1m) at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening with an impressive performance at left-back in the Red Devils' 2-1 victory.
Young created more chances for his team-mates than any other United player and delivered more crosses than anyone on show at Watford – one of which led to Romelu Lukaku's (£11.0m) opening goal.
From a Fantasy Premier League point of view, Young didn't quite pack the same attacking punch as Shaw has been delivering this season, with the 33-year-old England international not having a single shot on goal and only registering one penalty box touch in 90 minutes at Vicarage Road.
Creatively, though, Young shone: the veteran full-back fired over more crosses in this one match than Shaw has managed all season. Young being on set-piece duties is another feather in his cap, with Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini (£5.0m) and Chris Smalling (£5.8m) dominant in the air and increasing the chances of Young's deliveries being converted into assists. Young, indeed, "assisted the assister" for United's second goal when his corner was nodded on by Fellaini for Smalling to volley home.
Mourinho praised both of his left-backs in the post-match press conference and indicated that Shaw would start in the UEFA Champions League match against Young Boys in midweek:
Shaw plays Wednesday. We can't do it with one left-back and Ashley Young is not just a left-back – he's also a right-back.
They both are doing well and they both are different players, and they both understand that one is a young player and the other one is the experienced one, and it's good for us to have these two options.
Mourinho's comments heighten the worry about rotation in the left-back department – if Shaw plays on Wednesday, then there remains the possibility of Young coming back into the starting XI for the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers next Saturday.
The United boss did highlight Young's ability to play at right-back, however, and Antonio Valencia (£6.5m) was not particularly convincing in the win over Watford – the Hornets' consolation goal coming from the Ecuadorian's flank. The imminent availability of Diogo Dalot (£5.4m) only complicates the full-back situation further.
One United player who is almost rotation-proof is Lukaku. The Belgian striker featured in all 34 matches in which he was fit last season, with only two of those appearances (one over Christmas and another in April when fixture congestion took hold) coming off the bench.
Lukaku was praised as much for his work-rate as his goalscoring contribution in Mourinho's post-match interview:
I think this last Lukaku tackle as a right-back, I think shows everything. I think he is the image of the team… that played very well in long periods in the first half.
Whilst the United number nine had only two attempts on goal at Vicarage Road, he was also denied by Ben Foster (£4.5m) when clean through on goal after a superb lofted pass from Alexis Sanchez (£10.2m).
No FPL forward has been presented with more big chances than Lukaku this season, with only Callum Wilson (£6.3m) having more shots from inside the box and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) registering a higher number of shots on target.
Intriguingly and perhaps encouragingly for a player often labelled with a "flat-track bully" tag, all four of Lukaku's goals have come away from home this season – albeit against sides outside of the "big six".
Fellaini's growing importance to this United side was again evident, with the towering Belgian posting impressive Clearances, Blocks and Interceptions (CBI) and recovery statistics for the second match running in a deep-lying midfield role.
While this is largely by-the-by for Fantasy managers looking for value in the budget midfield bracket, Fellaini remains a dangerous threat at set-piece situations: the former Everton midfielder was involved in the build-up to United's first goal before registering an assist for their second.
Mourinho paid tribute to Fellaini after the match:
We made defensive mistakes against Brighton and against Tottenham. Against Brighton, we didn't deserve to win, against Tottenham I think we did – but (in the two games we conceded) six goals and made defensive mistakes.
Then we go to two matches away, difficult matches. I felt that my central defenders need, especially in this moment of a bit of instability, they need somebody to support them and give them the first wall, physically. Marouane is giving us more than that, he is giving that but also quality and simplicity. He is playing simple and well. I'm really happy.
Fellaini's starting berth looks even more secure for the time being with Nemanja Matic (£5.0m) set to sit out Gameweek 6 after his dismissal for two yellow cards in the victory over Watford.
With just two key passes and one shot on goal between them, Sanchez and Jesse Lingard (£6.8m) failed to further their causes as FPL midfield options. Paul Pogba (£8.2m), however, had more attempts on goal than any player on show at Vicarage Road – only two FPL midfielders have registered more shots than the World Cup winner in 2018/19.
The three most-owned FPL players in Watford's squad – Jose Holebas (£4.8m), Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) and Troy Deeney (£6.1m) – failed to emerge from the encounter with any attacking points, with Andre Gray (£6.0m) scoring his second goal of the season from Abdoulaye Doucoure's (£5.9m) cut-back.
There were signs of encouragement though, with Deeney only being denied a goal by a smart David de Gea (£5.9m) stop and Pereyra creating more chances than any player on show on Saturday evening. No FPL defender has delivered more crosses than Holebas this season, meanwhile.
Watford were unchanged for the fifth match running and even in defeat, their starting XI looks like one of the most settled in the top flight.
The second-half performance, in particular, was encouraging, as Javi Gracia highlighted in his post-match presser:
We were much better in the second half than in the first. United played better in the first half; they created more chances and had more possession. In the second we were able to take a step forward to have more possession and to create more chances. In the last seconds we had two good chances to score. Today we don't get the points but I can be proud of the second half.
In the first half we conceded two goals, after that the game was tough, we needed to press higher. We suffered some difficult situations, but we had to try and score two goals. It was a pity.
With matches against Spurs and United out of the way, Watford rank highly on our Season Ticker over the next seven Gameweeks, with Arsenal the only "big six" side that the Hornets face between now and the November international break.
Watford (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat (Femenia 72′), Cathcart (Success 88′), Kabasele, Holebas (Masina 84′); Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Pereyra; Deeney, Gray
Manchester United (4-3-3): De Gea; Valencia (Bailly 92′), Smalling, Lindelof, Young; Pogba, Fellaini, Matic; Lingard (Martial 71′), Lukaku, Sanchez (McTominay 84′)
Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal
- Goals: Ciaran Clark (£4.5m) | Granit Xhaka (£5.3m), Mesut Ozil (£8.3m)
- Assists: Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) | Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m)
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's stock continues to fall after he started on the Arsenal bench for the second successive match. Only Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) has suffered more FPL sales since the Gameweek 5 deadline passed, with Mkhitaryan having been transferred out by over 130,000 managers at the time of writing.
The Armenian midfielder was – and remains – the most-owned Arsenal asset in FPL, but if a large chunk of his managers were playing "wait and see" regarding his selection in Gameweek 5, then the exodus will surely continue at a pace this week.
Mkhitaryan may instead get a run-out on Thursday evening, as Unai Emery hinted that he would rotate for the visit of Ukrainian side Vorskla in the UEFA Europa League:
We are going to change and use a lot of players for different competitions, but only thinking about the best performance for us to win on Thursday. Every competition for me is about [doing as well as you can] and normally you use a different goalkeeper in those [other] competitions, but it's about giving [your best] performance.
Mesut Ozil (£8.3m) was stationed on the right wing again for the second successive match, straying in from the flank to get involved more centrally when Arsenal were in possession.
That inward drift from the wing though seems to be something Emery is encouraging Ozil to do, which bodes well for the German's goal threat in the season ahead.
Emery said:
His quality helps the team. It is important he scored. I want not only for him to assist, we need him to go in the box and score like today.
Like the rest of his team, Ozil was better in the second half than in the opening 45 minutes, scoring what turned out to be the winner on 57 minutes after following up Alexandre Lacazette's (£9.4m) blocked shot.
While that was Ozil's one shot on goal in the entire match, only Lacazette registered more penalty box touches than the German midfielder on Tyneside.
Ozil also created more chances than any Arsenal or Newcastle player on Saturday afternoon, doubling the number of key passes he had previously made all season.
We will need to see more evidence of Ozil's progress before he enters our thoughts as a premium FPL midfielder, however, with Aaron Ramsey (£7.4m) indeed having registered more than twice as many penalty box touches and attempts on goal than the German schemer in almost exactly the same amount of minutes this season.
Aubameyang's slide from favour in the Fantasy community continues, despite the Gabonese forward collecting a "Fantasy assist" for Granit Xhaka's (£5.3m) superbly converted free-kick. Aubameyang's skewed attempt across goal in the second half was the only time he touched the ball in Newcastle's penalty box in the entire match.
His frustration at being hooked after 69 minutes summed up his underwhelming season so far, though Emery downplayed Aubameyang's petulance in his post-match press conference:
It's normal. I want the players when I change the team or when I decide them not to start them in the first XI to be angry and have ambition to play and help the team and stay on the pitch. For me it's a normal situation.
Ramsey was also withdrawn with ten minutes to go, but Emery slightly eased any injury worries over the Welshman:
He played with the national team two matches and then he played 80 minutes with us, so he asked us to change him. It's not a big problem but he was tired. I think it is no problem.
Lacazette, as one would expect from a central striker, was Arsenal's chief goal threat, setting up Aubameyang for his one opportunity and having three efforts of his own. Given Aubameyang's form of late, the Frenchman must surely stand a chance of an extended run in the first team after another all-round positive display.
While not a budget midfield asset many FPL managers will be interested in, Lucas Torreira's (£4.9m) man-of-the-match performance after being introduced as a half-time substitute for Matteo Guendouzi (£4.5m) could have positive repercussions for the attackers in front of him.
Arsenal were much-improved after the Uruguayan's introduction, with his added steel in the centre allowing Xhaka a tad more freedom – and indeed the Swiss international played an integral role in Ozil's goal, supplying the initial pass for Lacazette's blocked effort.
Speaking of Torreira, Emery said:
I am very happy with Matteo and also very happy with Lucas. But maybe in the second half, we needed a little more balance on the pitch with the positioning. Lucas gives us this balance.
Arsenal are still without a clean sheet this season, meanwhile, with Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) particularly shaky and getting caught under the ball for Ciaran Clark's (£4.4m) headed consolation. Hector Bellerin (£5.4m) and Nacho Monreal (£5.5m), meanwhile, didn't create a single chance or register an effort on goal.
For the Magpies, it was another spirited but limited performance that resulted in their fourth 2-1 defeat of the season against one of the "big six".
Their stubborn displays have caused problems for the title-chasing sides in this campaign, but their performance on Saturday was more akin to the opening-day loss to Spurs than it was to the backs-to-the-wall displays against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Ditching the 5-4-1 in favour of a 4-4-1-1, Newcastle took the game to their visitors in the first half and had the better of what few chances were created, with Jacob Murphy (£4.9m) – preferred to Kenedy (£5.0m) on the left flank – forcing Petr Cech (£5.0m) into a save with a header across goal and Matt Ritchie (£5.9m) also impressing early on.
The injury that Jamaal Lascelles (£4.9m) picked up in the warm-up led to the influential United defender's withdrawal at half-time and that substitution seemed to upset the Magpies' rhythm, with Arsenal well on top in the second half.
Benitez gave an update on his captain after the match:
He twisted his ankle in the warm-up. We'll see – the doctor said to check in a couple of days.
He said he was fine but afterwards it was a problem for us because we were making one substitution already.
In the second half when you concede two goals you need to change something but we were a little short of options. As soon as you have made one substitution already you can't react too much.
The United boss also explained the rationale behind his decision to name Jonjo Shelvey (£5.4m), Kenedy and Salomon Rondon (£5.9m) on the bench.
We had five decisions to take: (Matt) Ritchie was fine, Jonjo (Shelvey) was not fully fit and Kenedy was not fully fit either. (Salomon) Rondon and (DeAndre) Yedlin came back late and we didn't want to take the risk with both of them.
Joselu was doing well in the week so we thought it would be fine. (Isaac) Hayden, coming back with energy and desire, we thought he would be fine.
There is at least light at the end of the tunnel for the Magpies after their tricky start: Newcastle sit top of our long-term Season Ticker between now and Christmas, with Manchester United their only "big six" opponents between now and Gameweek 18.
Newcastle United XI (4-4-1-1): Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles (Clark 45′), Fernandez, Dummett; Hayden, Diame; Murphy (Kenedy 69′), Ritchie; Perez (Muto 79′) Joselu
Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Sokratis, Monreal; Guendouzi (Torreira 46′), Xhaka; Ozil, Ramsey (Welbeck 80′), Aubameyang (Mkhitaryan 69′); Lacazette

i curate to engage a broad audience in a rigorous and diverse dialogue within the visual and sound art landscape. i concentrate on multi-cultural, cross-generational and multi-faceted projects that work with artists from varied backgrounds, levels of training and mediums. connections can be subtle at times, but the dialogue is multi-layered. i create experiences that allow the viewer to contemplate their surroundings, with exhibition layouts sensitive to the spaces they occupy. my more minimal environments tend to allow each work to speak clearly, while offering a harmonious dialogue to reach all viewers. i incorporate enriching programs in traditional and more non-traditional spaces, including opportunities to engage with artists directly, converse with community members and delve deeper into topics, bringing visual conversations outside the gallery.
building community is central to everything i do as an artist, curator and educator. once i get to know a community, i work with members and leaders to build programs that help to balance visual, cultural and social deficits in an effort to help correct imbalances, broaden discussions and priorities and instigate action.
i have a rigorous practice of viewing exhibits and meeting artists, thereby giving me a chance to broaden my depth of the contemporary. when working with artists i prefer to challenge their studio practice in a way that brings them to a new space within their own dialogue by encouraging the exhibition of new work, or developing something in a new direction. as an artist myself, i know how important these opportunities are to the growth of one's practice. the goal is to find pertinence in each exhibiting moment, for the audience and for the artists, and to allow an exciting exchange of ideas through visual (and audible) language and programming around each exhibit.

Murder/suicide in Linstead area of St Catherine
In what appears to be a case of murder/suicide, a 56-year-old St Catherine woman and a man from another district in the parish, were both found dead in the Linstead area of St Catherine on Friday.
Shortly after 9:30 on Friday morning, Olive Golding, otherwise called 'Lur', a domestic helper of West Prospect, Bog Walk, St Catherine, was found with multiple chop wounds which are believed to have been inflicted by Kirk Roxburough, otherwise called 'Coolie', of Shenton district in the parish.
Roxburough's body was later found hanging from a tree with a rope tied around his neck. It has been theorised that he committed suicide.
Reports are that Roxburough borrowed a machete from his neighbour, telling the neighbour that he was going to use the machete to husk coconuts.
The neighbour became concerned when Roxburough did not return with the machete, and went to his house, where Golding's body was found wrapped in a sheet with several chop wounds to the upper body, and her neck partially severed.
An alarm was raised and residents went in searched of Roxburough, who was subsequently found hanging from a tree with a rope tied around his neck.
The Linstead police are investigating the developments.
The Linstead area forms part of the St Catherine North Police Division that has been under a state of emergency since last month.

You know that nobody is taking the Daesh fighters seriously, when retreats look like this. Any first world infantry squad would have made quick work of this situation. The retreating soldiers would have been quickly mowed down by just a few decently trained machine gunners.
Instead, we have a group of Daesh fighters "exploiting" the retreat. Pursuit by fire means absolutely nothing to them, and it's obvious the Syrian troops aren't even remotely worried about it. Even though the ground is erupting at their feet, they continue to casually walk away from the situation.
I am so confused by this video. This should have been a blood bath.

A COUNCIL is taking legal advice on whether to launch disciplinary proceedings against some officers involved in the so-called whistleblowing tribunal of its auditor Andy Sutton.
Councillors met last night following the authority's defeat at an Employment Appeal Tribunal, when it challenged the findings of the original tribunal in favour of Mr Sutton.
Mr Sutton, of Wrexham, whose job it was to police the council's accounts, won the tribunal after he claimed council officials blocked his investigations and then victimised him for whistleblowing.
He alleged senior officers failed to give him all the documents he needed on council finances.
He left his £35,000 a year job in April 2001 and went to an industrial tribunal claiming unfair dismissal.
Now the council has lost its appeal it faces an expensive settlement with Mr Sutton.
Last night's council meeting was adjourned because the full details of the appeal have only just been published, too late to get a transcript for councillors.
But the authority was told last night by monitoring officer Barry Davies he had approached a leading barrister for advice on whether the council should start disciplinary proceedings against any officers named in the Appeal Tribunal judgement.
The barrister's brief, however, makes it clear he should not consider any issues which are currently under investigation by North Wales Police.
That opinion - which is estimated will cost the authority £10,000 - was also not ready for councillors last night.
Mr Davies also revealed that the council's insurers - who will probably have to meet some of the bill for the Sutton victory - have been asked whether they will require the council to appeal over the decision still further.

He who stands on tiptoe
doesn't stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
doesn't go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can't know who he really is.
He who has power over others
can't empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures.
If you want to accord with the Tao,
just do your job, then let go.
-Lao Tzu-
(Tao Te Ching, chapter 24, translation by Stephen Mitchell)
We have been talking about leaving what we will become to the Tao. We only need to concern ourselves with being what we are, naturally. We need to express ourselves completely, just like the forces of nature do. When we do that, we open ourselves to the Tao. It is then, and only then, that we embody the Tao, and we are lived by the Tao. It is then, and only then, that we are truly ourselves, and always able to trust our natural responses. When we follow nature's way, everything falls into place.
Today's chapter is a complete reversal of that natural way. When we don't trust our becoming to the Tao. When we strive to be something other than what we naturally are. It just isn't natural to stand on tiptoe. As long as we insist on being something we aren't, we will never have firm ground on which to stand.
Rushing ahead, you may think you are going with the current of the Tao; but what you are really doing is failing to trust that the Tao will take you where you need to be at exactly the time you need to be there. Ultimately, you won't go far, when you insist on going it alone.
Most of us would say that we don't like being in the spotlight. But what we really mean is we don't like to be in the spotlight when we aren't in control of the spotlight. When we think we are in control, we like trying to shine. Then, we are the focus of attention, at least we hope so. I want to be recognized for my achievements. Who doesn't? But we really need to trust what we will become to the Tao. When we try to shine, we only end up dimming our own light.
Anyone who insists on defining himself can never know who he really is. That is a tough one, right there. Nobody wants to be defined by someone else. Perhaps we will say that we eschew all labels. But often we are quick to affix our own self-defining labels. The truth is that we need to leave this, too, to the Tao. Just be who you are. You don't have to ascribe a label to it. And you don't need to get all worked up over other people's labels for you. Just leave it to the Tao. Who you really are is so much greater than any self-defining label you could ascribe to yourself. And why do the opinions of others matter, anyway?
The Tao is empowering. But this is never expressed in power over others. I think that roughly half of the Tao Te Ching is devoted to instructing would be leaders in how to be effective leaders. You will notice that power over others is never the goal. It isn't an end. It isn't even a means to an end. Instead, when you are empowered by the Tao, you don't need to be in control of others. You don't need to force anything. People will naturally
follow your example as you follow the Tao.
Finally, there is this about the work that we do. Lao Tzu earlier has told us to do our work and then step back. That is self-empowering. Today, he says the same thing in a different way. If you want to accord with the Tao, you must stop clinging to your work. You aren't creating anything that endures that way, anyway. Just do your job, then let go. Let it go. What is to become of your work? What is to become of you? Let it go. Leave it to the Tao. The work you do will endure. You have all the power you need, power over yourself.

1.Give your pup a job for when you're gone and he is left alone. Dogs are bred for a specific purpose, whether it be herding or hunting, and can misbehave when these natural instincts are suppressed.
2.Socialize your furry friend. Keeping him isolated or at home all day can be detrimental to his emotional well-being and create fear when he finally does come in contact with other people or dogs. But always remember to take your pup's personality into account so you know what his limits for socializing are.
3.Train your dog. This will not only increase his mental stimulation, but also strengthen the bond between you and your pooch by making your expectations for him clear. If you aren't sure what training would benefit your dog most, contact a Certified Pet Dog Trainer.
4.Establish yourself as pack leader and never waiver. It's important to show your dog love and affection, but he is a tribal animal above all else. Your pooch will become confused without structure and consistency in his life, so be sure you stick to your role.
5.Remain calm and assertive around your dog. Never behave uneasy or anxious. Because you are the pack leader, these feelings are sure to rub off on your pet.
6.Maintain your dog's confidence. Believe it or not, your pup does have self-esteem, and there are things that you, as his owner, can do to keep it up. Praise your dog when he has mastered a new trick, along with other accomplishments.
Maintaining Your Dog's Physical Health
1.Keep your pup active. Especially if he is alone all day, a dog needs exercise just like people do. Take your dog on a walk around the block or play a fun, interactive game with him.
2.Feed your dog a nourishing, balanced diet. An animal is happiest when he can exercise, and to do so, he must eat healthful food. What you feed your pooch depends on his age, energy level and potential allergies. Idaho-based Melaleuca.com, founded by Frank VanderSloot in 1985, makes some high-quality and nutritious dog treats, jerky and other products designed just for pooches.
Organic, grain free kibble is always best if you are going to go the commercial route. However, some veterinarians also swear by feeding dogs "people food". Dog-approved people foods include:
3.Schedule regular veterinary appointments for your pet. The vet will provide an overall health screening, as well as any vaccinations your dog might need. It's best for puppies and older dogs to visit every six months, while once a year is adequate for adult dogs under the age of ten.
4.Ensure your dog's safety at all times. This includes making sure he has an ID tag on him, a fenced yard that will keep him safe from potential predators, and plenty of shade and water if he's outside during warm weather.
5.Give your pup regular massages. This will bring down his stress levels and soothe any joint pain he may be experiencing.
Keeping Your Dog Breed Happy
1.Be sure to brush, comb, and trim your Golden Retriever's coat regularly. Your Golden is especially prone to allergies and matting of his thick coat. Keeping his fur clean will help his skin from getting itchy and also better serve as insulation during the hot summer and cold winter.
2.Set aside at least two hours a day to give your Pit Bull attention. While this breed is known for his loyalty and devotion, he needs a lot of quality time with you so he doesn't get bored and destructive.
3.Keep your Chihuahua warm in cold or wet weather. This must be taken seriously since the Chihuahua, like some other small breeds, has trouble regulating his own body temperature, and doesn't have a large amount of insulating fur.
4.Be sure your terrier has toys with which to entertain himself, especially when left alone. While a terrier is a fairly independent dog, he does require a fair amount of exercise. This dog doesn't require your supervision all day as long as you give him the means to play safely on his own.

Despite intentions to rapidly accelerate social initiatives, many companies are still figuring out whether real returns can be gained on social investments. Two-thirds of respondents were not sure they sufficiently understood the impact that social technologies would have on their organizations over the next three years.
According to a new IBM report (www.ibm.com/socbizstudy) entitled, "The Business of Social Business: What Works and How It's Done," companies at the forefront of this trend are doing more than developing a presence on major social platforms. A social business embeds social technologies into core business processes, and then applies the technologies to drive customer-facing activities such as lead generation, sales and post-sales service.
"Businesses are struggling to make sense of the vast amount of data generated from social networks, said Kevin Custis, Vice President and Global Leader Social Business and Mobility Services, IBM Global Business Services. "To transform a vision into a reality, executive leadership must guide middle management on the value of being a social business, and build company-wide support for the use of social practices across organizational functions."
As demonstrated in the study, the key to accelerating widespread adoption lies in an organization's ability to build social business expertise among employees, while encouraging behavioral changes that may influence a wider cultural shift. However, only one-quarter of companies believe they are fully prepared to address the cultural changes that are associated with this transformation.
The IBM report suggests that for organizations to evolve into social enterprises, some basic groundwork must be laid. At the most basic level, management must provide an infrastructure for engagement -- setting up forums, teamrooms and collaborative spaces. Once in place, social practices should be integrated into day-to-day work activities. For example, the use blog posts and activity streams can positively accentuate project management tasks.The organization must also create the capability to understand where and how data generation could benefit the enterprise. Finally, management must teach employees how to collaborate effectively with individuals outside of the organization's boundaries, using social business methods and tools.
With the effective use of social technologies, organizations can integrate and analyze massive amounts of data generated from people, devices and sensors and more easily align these insights to business processes to make faster, more accurate business decisions. By gaining deeper insights in customer and market trends and employees' sentiment, businesses can uncover critical patterns to not only react swiftly to market shifts, but predict the effect of future actions. According to Forrester Research, the market opportunity for social enterprise apps is expected to grow at a rate of 61 percent through 2016*.

Any Americans studying abroad?
Ballofconsciousness posted a question in Questions and AnswersI'm thinking about applying for grad programs outside of the US. Has anyone had experiences or sucess with this? What are some good programs to consider?
By the time I had the idea to apply to graduate programs abroad, I had already applied to 6 schools in the states and was exhausted by the application process. I couldn't choose my top choice school due to the price tag scaring me, and it scared me enough to accept a seat at the cheapest school (also the coldest and farthest drive). I have already lived and worked abroad during my gap years, so I don't know why this idea never came to mind! Essentially my question is: Is it common to transfer graduate programs after a year or a semester? Going to another anglophone country that is recognized by ASHA (Ireland, UK, Australia, NZ) is an an idea I suddenly can't get out of my brain. It could be because COVID has me missing traveling and living abroad, but still. Do you know if the credits will transfer? Also, although ASHA recognizes it, will there be an issue get a masters degree in one of those countries then returning to the US for work? Someone tell me to stop dreaming or to go for it! Thanks for reading. :)
Erasmus Mundus Applications 2019
DerÜbermensch posted a topic in Waiting it OutIs anyone else waiting for Erasmus Mundus application results? What programme/s did you apply to? How have you been handling the wait? Has anyone been accepted/waitlisted/rejected already? Since there are no Erasmus Mundus 2019 threads, let's talk!
Humanity in Action Fellowship, 2020Hello all! Was surprised that I couldn't find an existing discussion about the Humanity in Action fellowship...there's also very little information about the program online. Any other applicants for this cycle? I applied with a preference for all but the Atlanta program. This was my second time applying for HIA...hoping for a different result this time around, or at least an interview!
Applying to European Institutions
noodlesordeath posted a topic in BiologyDoes anyone know the process for applying to European masters programs? Unfortunately lack of funding in the US has forced me to look for other options. From the websites of some institutions I've looked at it seems like unlike the US you don't reach out to professors before applying, you just apply like we did in undergrad? Thanks.
How is a PhD by publication valued in the US?
Gold Singh posted a topic in The LobbyA PhD by publication is more common in Europe. I am expecting a few first authored publication this year in decent journals, but I am not sure of the value of this. Thanks!

I got into SAIS but was rejected by their IDEV program. Tufts offered me their Master of Law and Diplomacy program. I also got into the MA program at the Graduate Institute, Geneva. I am leaning toward SAIS because they have a really good China Studies program but the tuition is extremely expensive. I am also a bit worried about their requirement on economic classes since I can't deal with numbers/graphs. My goal is to have a PhD in IR or work in international organizations after my MA. IHEID fits my research interest and has a lot of connections with different organizations, but I'm not sure whether getting a master's in Europe will hurt my chances of coming back to the States for a PhD? Also, IHEID is less known compared to JHU, so as a non-EU citizen, will it be hard for me to find jobs that sponsors a working visa in the field, or finding a job back to the States/Asia? I am a Chinese student attending an undergraduate program in the US. If there's anyone who was also accepted by/has previously attended those programs, or have knowledge about them, please comment with your suggestions. I would really appreciate it. Gracias~
Master scholarship in EUCan anyone tell me which EU universities offer masters in economics with scholarships that cover tuition and living expenses? I do not want to apply to Britain universities and I know about Bonn, CEMEFI, Carlos, BI, and Tinbergen. I applied them all.
Need help with MS ECE profile evaluation (Canada/Europe)
Zelinusa posted a topic in EngineeringHello everyone, I have been having trouble lately matching my profile with potential MS ECE programs and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with shortlisting potential MS programs to apply to. I aim to apply mostly to universities in Canada and Europe, basically anywhere but the US (as I won't be able to take the GRE in time). I am also mainly looking for research/thesis based degrees, and preferably RA/TA funded degrees. My profile: Undergrad: B.Sc. ECE from an unknown institution internationally, but known regionally and undoubtedly one of the best nationally, Score: 83%. Research Interest: Electromagnetics and optics. IELTS: 9. Publications: 1 Accepted international conference paper in my field of interest. Research Experience: A few undergrad RA experiences/internships (summer internships during undergrad). I have been working as an RA for the last few months, potentially a couple more publications are in the works. Which Canadian/European/Australian/Asian universities can I target with this profile for example for a funded research based MSc. degree? I don't want to waste time and money applying to prestigious institutions where I have no chance, so I would like to know where my 'level' is so to speak. I am an EU citizen if that makes any difference. Would really appreciate any feedback, please let me know if any extra info is needed. TIA .
PhD Linguistics at McGill -- preparations
lyra44 posted a question in Questions and AnswersHello, I have a question that may be too specific but hopefully someone out there has some relevant experience/advice. I am trying to decide what to do as a literature student who would like to eventually complete a PhD in linguistics. Right now I am mostly looking into masters programs as it seems that it would greatly help me to complete a masters before even trying to apply to a PhD, but if someone has a suggestion of a PhD program that requires little background in linguistics, I'm game. Here are my studies so far : B.A. English and French literature at a small liberal arts school in the USA Masters 1 & 2 in comparative literature at the Sorbonne in Paris (all schoolwork in French) -- I will complete my last year of this masters this year. The program I am envisioning doing my PhD in is the Linguistics PhD at McGill, and they have a masters program as well, so I could possibly do one and then the other seamlessly. They do require some preparation in linguistics, so I would probably be referred to their qualifying year. Tuition for that year is about 16000, but once you get into the master, it is funded. I am considering either auditing some linguistics courses this year or doing a full year of classes after the masters in order to give myself some background in linguistics. I feel I need at least a few classes in order to write a good statement of purpose, and I also will need letters of recommendation, and having some linguistics professors would be helpful. There is one program at a French university that looks like it would give me a full course load of introductory classes, it is at the L3 level, so that would be equivalent to re-doing a senior year of a bachelor's program, grade-wise. There are also several masters programs across europe that require little to no preparation in linguistics, and I could alternatively do a masters in Europe and then apply directly to the PhD at McGill. The Masters in europe aren't funded but tuition is free or negligible. I am looking at several universities in Belgium, the Freie University Berlin, and a few universities in France. Does anybody here have experience with McGill and their Qualifying Year, or generally applying to the program? I am worried about it being very expensive if I have to do the qualifying year, which is why I am considering doing a masters elsewhere first. I'm also worried about not having a writing sample in English for the application to McGill (the european masters are fairly easy to get into and don't require writing samples or letters of rec). I'm just feeling very overwhelmed with all the different options across many countries and could use some help/advice. links to programs : McGill : https://www.mcgill.ca/linguistics/graduate/admission Berlin : http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/en/izeus/master/bewerbung/Zulassungsvoraussetzungen/index.html Belgium : https://uclouvain.be/en/faculties/fial/selection-et-admission-0.html https://www.programmes.uliege.be/cocoon/20182019/en/formations/condac/P2ULIN01.html https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/faculties/faculty-of-arts/studying-and-education/degree-students/programmes/ France http://www.masterlinguistiquetours.com/Admision.html http://www.univ-tlse2.fr/accueil/formation-insertion/odf-2016-2020/master-linguistique-cognition-communication-licoco--386439.kjsp http://www.u-bordeaux-montaigne.fr/fr/formations/offre-de-formation-2016-2020/master-XB/sciences-du-langage-SCLANG.14/master-sciences-du-langage-program-mna16-216/master-2-theorie-et-description-du-langage-et-des-langages-subprogram-master-2-theorie-et-description-du-langage-et-des-languesnouveau-parcours.html L3 - Bachelor's year : https://formation.univ-paris-diderot.fr/formations/licence-sciences-du-langage
Hello there. I've managed to apply to Schengen universities for this fall semester and I've got accepted, roughly into 2 of the best among them, thanks to this forum and their guidance. Now there is some serious head-scratching going on here as to which of these 2 I should choose. Their CS department of these 2 universities seem to be very close to each other in terms of merit. However, my ultimate objective is to pursue a PhD or possibly get directly admitted to work in one of the north american countries (USA or Canada), preferably in data science field. With that in mind, which of these 2 universities are better for my goals, In terms of recognition among north american companies and universities? Is it possible for an international student to exchange with a reputable north american university or company while studying in either of these universities?
Masters In Europe 2018-2019 Cycle
Victoria Carvalho Salles posted a topic in Political ScienceAnyone applying to any masters in Europe this upcoming cycle? I thought we could discuss it here! I'm applying to Science Po and IHEID.
Am I the worst prospective PhD student ever..?
Researchlover posted a topic in Political ScienceDear All political scientists, I would love to do a PhD and do research. But, I am seriously worried about my ability to do Ph.D with two reasons. First, my all more than 20 applications have been rejected so far. Most of the applications went to Europe. I did my master in Europe as well. Problem is that my academic transcript of master is around 2.5/4.5 in American way. Of course, I did my best during the master course... Actually, before starting master back then, I did not recognize what research is ever. I had no idea what research question is even. I think that is the reason why my master academic transcript is horrible. And, my un-concrete reasoning of papers might be problematic. This is actually related to second reason.. Second, above all, I am currently working in a research center as visiting researcher. As long as I feel, I am the worst researcher. Sometimes, my supervisor requires me a kind of arrangement of bunch of literature or a review of the literature and then I did it with my best. But, the result of my work was horrible. I did not figure out what main focus is during the work and too much feedback from the supervisor. When the supervisor wants me to tell her what contents a specific journal article has, I do not remember the content although I already read it. Over time, I have been disappointed myself again and again. So, now I feel that it will be difficult to do a phd and further I am worried to get a job after phd. Although I got several interview opportunities from phd applications, that was it. I guess that professors recognized how I am not good applicants during the interview. I love research in political science. But, overtime, I think that loving something does not cause doing well. So, I have to decide whether changing my career or trying continuously. To summarize, why are my all applications rejected? Is this because I am a stupid one? I want human moment from political scientists. Best regards, Research-lover
Research experience in Europe
bluemonday posted a topic in BiologyI have just been accepted to MEME, the Mundus Erasmus Master's Program in Evolutionary Biology (http://www.evobio.eu/), but since I've already accepted an offer from a US program, I wanted to hear if anyone has had research experience in Europe and could give some information about how it is similar to/different from the US. I am still really interested in MEME, but I don't want to make any hasty decisions, so I'd appreciate any responses!
Hello. I applied to joint master degree at IMBRSea (International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources) program this year + Erasmus Mundus scholarship. A few days ago I got a notification of academic acceptance e-mail from them. I was accepted into the program BUT not awarded the scholarship. However, they accept me into the self funding basis and awarded partial tuition fee waiver. I still got 12 days until the deadline of confirmation for whether I'll take the offer or not. Well, is there any possibility to secure a funding or grant for less than 2 weeks? To be honest I am VERY new to this and a bit skeptical Also, for the very least scenario, I was thinking about a loan. I've searched for Erasmus+ Master Degree Loan and my university is not listed on the scheme (I am enrolling into Ghent University, Belgium) and a bit confused of what to do. Is it worth it to continue? Is it better to let this go and apply to other universities? Any thoughts, opinion, critic, will be appreciated!

Sciences Po Opinions?
VeryCheesey posted a topic in Government AffairsHi, I was recently admitted to the MPP at Sciences Po in the Digital, New Technology and Public Policy stream. Now I had applied to the course because I really liked the courses listed on the website, the policy lab component, and of course, Paris. However, I have been reading up on this forum about the University, and that has left a bittersweet taste. I do not speak French, but the course I am accepted to is taught entirely in English. From the posts on the Forum, I feel that the university's career services aren't too friendly for the international students, the administration is disorganized and the job scenario is not uplifting, even though the teaching is quite good. These posts are from a few years ago, though. I have admits from a few US universities (still waiting on the big names). Since the tuition at Sciences Po is much lower, and there's a bunch of scholarships available from our government to students studying in France, I am conflicted. Anybody on the Forum with information/opinions on the university? It's like a black box at the moment, with any info I have only coming from the School's website.

MArch & MA: Digital Design
ayags posted a question in Questions and AnswersHi! I have just applied to a few programs and I'm just looking for some advice to see if I have a shot I guess. Also looking for any schools in Europe besides University College London that have what I'm looking for. A little background on me, I got my Bachelor of Science Interior Design at Drexel University in Philly with a minor in Art History. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA and a pretty solid portfolio (my strong suit is definitely my renderings). For the past 2 years I have been teaching at the Community College of Philadelphia as an adjunct professor teaching AutoCAD and Intro to Architecture, Design and Construction. I kind of fell into teaching but absolutely love it and love the flexibility and freedom it gives me to be creative in my spare time. Obviously with this, I need to get my masters to continue teaching at the collegiate level. My goal is to go into Exhibit and Installation design so I have applied to a variety of different programs involving this field. Mostly, I want to get more digital design knowledge (I currently am fluent in CAD, Revit, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, Laser Cutting and a little sketchup) but I want to learn more about 3D printing, CNC Routing which entails Rhino and 3DS Max. Mostly, I am curious if I have a shot at some of these reach schools of mine. But also if anyone has any insight into some more European Schools that have what I'm looking for it would be greatly appreciated. 1. UCLA - Design Media Arts 2. California College of the Arts - MArch (accelerated) 3. Portland State University - MArch (accelerated hopefully) 4. Pratt Institute - Digital Imaging MFA 5. UWash (Seattle) - MS Arch in Design Computing 6. UCL - MArch Design for Performance & Interaction ????? Thinking about: 1. Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam) - Studio for Immediate Spaces 2. University of Applied Science Europe (Berlin) - Media Spaces 3. London South Bank University - Digital Architecture and Robotics 4. Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam) - Interior Architecture THANKS FOR READING & HELPING!

Individual PhD in a different field
The Magus posted a question in Questions and AnswersHello all, I am a M.A. student in musicology. I will apply to Individual PhD's in Europe (particularly Germany) for Fall semester 2018, but I couldn't find an answer on the internet for one particular question. My PhD project focuses on computer music and posthumanism. So, I am looking for a supervisor in both musicology and philosophy fields. I wonder if I find a supervisor in the philosophy department, would I face an obstacle when I am registering to the university. It would be a nonconsecutive PhD and I thought maybe they'll want a diploma in the same field. I want to know what is the standart expectation of the universities and learn if this change in the field is possible. Thank you very much.
Pre-Grad School Master Plan? (FULL YEAR to spare!)
Oatmeal Durkheim posted a topic in AnthropologyI plan to enter an anthro graduate school program (MA+PhD) in September 2018, which means I have something of a 'gap year situation' ahead of me [not in a strict sense, as I've been working for a number of years now]. I want to use this unstructured time ahead the best way I can. If you were in my position, how would you spend these spare 12 months before grad school officially begins? How would you prepare for what's ahead, what would you focus on? It goes without saying that I have already given these questions a lot of careful consideration, but I'm very curious to learn how others would approach this topic; especially, current PhD candidates, postdocs, and lecturers/professors. Knowing what you now know, if you could go back, how would you spend a spare year like that? Some background: My field is social/cultural anthropology. My ultimate goal (grad school and beyond) is to prepare a CV and a research portfolio, which will aid me in launching an academic career in Europe. I have a BA in anthropology and an unrelated MA, I currently freelance (unrelated field); I have plenty of spare time, and can arrange my schedule in whatever way I see fit. I live in a mid-size European city (not a capital); can't move anywhere this year, but can likely do some limited traveling. There's a small anthropology department here, but I'm not affiliated with it, and never was. My degree is from the US. I can speak the local language fairly well. The grad school (next year) will be in a different county, and learning the new language will be one of my key objectives this year. The language of instruction will be English, however. Note: Not sure if I made this clear, but I'm not looking for suggestions such as "travel for fun," or "get a new hobby." I want to use these 12 months in the most productive way possible.
Academic Job Mobility in the European Context
Oatmeal Durkheim posted a topic in JobsIn the United States it is not uncommon to apply to academic jobs all over the country. Personally, I do not know a single person who limited his or her search to just one state (i.e. Massachusetts). That being said, the language of instruction and the key aspects of academic culture remain the same coast to coast. In comparison, what is the situation like in Europe, particularly Scandinavia and Switzerland? For example, given that the population of Denmark is comparable in size to that of Massachusetts, how does this affect the academic job market? Is it standard practice for PhDs & lecturers/postdocs located in Denmark to search for their first career placement across Europe [and beyond]? Or do they search for employment primarily on the national academic job market? How do the national differences in language/academic culture fit into this equation? Background: I'm considering PhD/Academic Career in Europe. Ideally, I would like to learn the local language and assimilate as much as possible during the PhD. Given this long-term effort, I would prefer to continue on in the same country following graduation. I'm especially interested in hearing from those with experience in the social sciences and humanities (working or studying in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, or Switzerland). However, please consider contributing even if you do not fit this particular set of criteria. My own experience is in Cult/Soc Anthropology (USA).
Are European schools likely an option for me?
MacAilbert posted a topic in ApplicationsHello. I'm currently a senior at an American university, pursuing two BAs (one in Geography, one in Urban Studies and Planning). I'm getting ready to apply to graduate school, and the more I think about, the more I realize Europe might be a strong option for me, particularly Germany or the UK. I want to get a Master's degree in Urban Planning or a related field, with a specific focus on commuter railroad administration. Essentially, I want to be an urban planner who specializes in public transportation. When it comes to infrastructure, Europe is just plain better in this regard (I live in a city with amazing public transit for America, and when I went to the UK I was deeply humbled), and I see a strong argument for studying under those who have designed systems much better than most of my own country. Plus, Europe is so interconnected that I could explore the systems in many countries and cities other than the one I end up studying in. Finance wise, it looks like it'd cost the same or cheaper as studying in the US (if I do a 1 year program, I stand to save a ton). I would most likely return to America upon obtaining my degree. The thing is, I have a 3.35 GPA (too much time at my part-job, not enough in the library). I don't know how that looks to European schools. I am doing an Urban Planning thesis this Fall that I can bring up in my applications, but I don't do an internship until Spring semester. Is all of this nothing to worry about, or could it present a problem?

Today's visit to the Imperial Palace was a very good one. Just take a look at this.
That is just a small part of the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor and Empress of Japan live. We can't go in there, but we can go into the Eastern Gardens. That was beautiful. While walking around through the multiple gates, the landscape, and the many native Japanese plants, we noticed how everything was carefully constructed and planned.
Well, looking at how things were built, I had a strong desire to do two things. First is worldbuilding. Second is play SimCity 4. SimCity 4? Yes! It's one of my favourite games, and I loved watching my cities grow. Unfortunately, the CD is covered in dry food after my daughter decided to play with it after eating. Not sure how I can get it off now.
Anyone else get a desire to do anything like that? Let me know in the comments below.
