The world's coolest streetwear brand
Sector: Futurefashion
Supreme is a skateboarding shop turned clothing brand, created by James Jebbia as a small company in downtown Manhattan and quickly became a designers dreams. Thanks to collaborations with top brands as diverse as Louis Vuitton, Nike, and Kermit the Frog, Supreme is the brand people want to be wearing. Even celebrities like Cara Delevingne and DJ Khaled are fans. Consumers will spend crazy sums to get their hands on limited edition collaborations like the Supreme Louis Vuitton Bag (which resells on eBay for $4,000 - $15,000), and always post a picture of it on Instagram (the brand has 6 million followers).
Supreme is a skateboarding shop turned clothing brand, created by James Jebbia as a small company in downtown Manhattan and quickly became a designers dreams. Thanks to collaborations with top brands as diverse as Louis Vuitton, Nike, and Kermit the Frog, Supreme is the brand people want to be wearing.
Even celebrities like Cara Delevingne and DJ Khaled are fans. Consumers will spend crazy sums to get their hands on limited edition collaborations like the Supreme Louis Vuitton Bag (which resells on eBay for $4,000 - $15,000), and always post a picture of it on Instagram (the brand has 6 million followers).
James Jebbia, the man who, in 1994 founded and to this day runs the SoHo-based company that has been making clothing and skateboards and a lot of other things that the people who love it absolutely have to have, doesn't think of Supreme the way most people in fashion might—as a brand that started out in a small store on Lafayette Street, and has since inched its way to global status.
He thinks of Supreme more as a space.
When Jebbia was a teenager in Crawley, West Sussex, in the eighties, working at a Duracell factory, listening to T. Rex and Bowie on breaks and spending his spare cash on trips to London to buy clothes, it was always in a certain elusive kind of store, one that became the model for Supreme.
"The cool, cool shop," says Jebbia, who is 54 and dressed in jeans and a plain dark-blue T-shirt, label-free and low-key, with closely cropped hair and deep blue eyes. "The shop that carries the cool stuff that everybody was wearing—no big brands or anything."
Jebbia's office a few blocks west of the Supreme store is adorned with a skateboard designed by Raymond Pettibon; some drawings by Jebbia's kids, age 8 and 10; and a larger-than-life-size portrait of James Brown—whom Jebbia, crucially, sees as not just the hardest-working man in showbiz but as a guy who never played down to his audience. Jebbia is, likewise, ever-mindful of his customer, who is generally aged eighteen to 25 and wants simply to buy cool stuff—and who will pay for it, assuming it's worth it.
"My thing has always been that the clothing we make is kind of like music," Jebbia says. "There are always critics that don't understand that young people can be into Bob Dylan but also into the Wu-Tang Clan and Coltrane and Social Distortion. Young people—and skaters—are very, very open-minded . . . to music, to art, to many things, and that allowed us to make things with an open mind."
Recently the fashion world has been waking up to Supreme. In the past decade, the company has opened stores in Tokyo, London, and Paris, while the passionate devotion of their customers has brought it into the conversation with both teenagers at skateboard parks and the front rows of high fashion—with Paris in particular swooning over Supreme's collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Jebbia loved working with Kim Jones, Vuitton's menswear designer, to make skateboard trunks and backpacks, bandannas and gloves, shirts and jackets. The feeling was mutual.
"When you see the lines for Supreme in New York or London," says Jones, "you see so many different types of people, and they are people you can relate to—they understand high-low, they're smart, they're intelligent, and they're humorous. They know what they want, and they are very loyal—and a customer who is loyal is a real aspiration for anybody with a brand."
The Vuitton collaboration was also, for many in fashion, their first glimpse into the secretive world of Supreme, which has become a kind of shorthand for authenticity, immediacy, speed, and deftness in its way of doing business. More than just selling sweats and tees and hats, the brand brings out a new collection two times a year, like any fashion company—generally, an online look-book, followed by a few pieces dropped every Thursday, each item available both online and in the stores. A Supreme drop is a big event.
"We can have a leather jacket for $1,500, and if it's a good value, young people will understand that," Jebbia says. "But we also want to have the feeling that this won't be here in a month. When I grew up, I think everybody felt that way. It's like, If I love this, it may not be here, so I should buy it."
Rather than try to give an insight into the brand myself, I turned to millennial social media analyst Sumo, to explore why and how Supreme reigns in the world of streetwear.
You can see from the Google Trends report below that worldwide interest has steadily rose over time for the Supreme brand:
The best part? Supreme has grown — and continues to grow — WITHOUT spending insane amounts of money on advertising or marketing. This means you can do it for your ecommerce business, too.
Supreme is a streetwear brand that started as a skateboarding shop in New York City in April of 1994.
The brand produces clothing centered around their 'red box logo' which is shockingly simple, has transcended its skateboarding roots, and is fueled by the brands ability to create desire.
Here's how Supreme gets most of their web traffic.
With a cult like following, and a focus on exclusivity, it makes sense Supreme relies on direct and search traffic as their main traffic drivers.
Supreme is the most sellable clothing brand in the world. The stuff they make is statistically more likely to skyrocket in value than the merchandise of pretty much any other consumer company in the world.
To increase your own following, product demand, and direct traffic, here are nine ecommerce marketing tips you can apply in your business.
Supreme product drops are powerful, and the user generated content around the brand has been enough to allow Supreme to remain in a mostly 'underground' status in terms of marketing with almost no paid search investment.
Here's just one of the online communities that create viral content for Supreme without them having to do a thing:
Supreme Talk UK/EU (aka SupTalk) is Europe's largest Supreme fan group. It's also one of Supreme's biggest Facebook reselling groups.
The group started in 2012 when founding members Adam Rose and Peter Mitchell were frustrated at the lack of a UK secondary market for Supreme compared to the USA. So they started SupTalk for Supreme fans to buy, sell and trade Supreme products without having to pay obscene shipping costs.
Supreme have been able to get groups like SupTalk and major news sites with millions of followers like Hypebeast and Highsnobiety to promote their products by limiting supply of their product. Every week dozens of articles are published around how/when and who is involved in the resale of Supreme products, like this one:
When you look at Supreme's top backlink, you can see the enormous amount of shares it has received, and traffic it provided:
Actually, Hypebeast alone have generated over 113 content pieces around Supreme with total shares over 200,000 in the last year. Again, just one example of content and momentum created outside Supreme itself.
But even though now more people than ever want Supreme, they've always kept supply controlled and never released a ton of pieces. This means demand gets higher as supply stays the same, manifesting an overblown hype that creates a secondary resale market for when Supreme release new products.
To get this level of virality and organic user generated content around your brand, it means you need to be very disciplined. When a Supreme product sells well, they never make it again. That's what creates the hype and insane resell prices that get as high as 1200% or more, like this:
When you make things in smaller quantities, it makes people:
- Feel special
- Want to have it even more
- Increase the value for the buyer
While many businesses are trying to use "Limited Edition" as a selling point, with Supreme if you don't get it you may never have the chance to get it again.
Supreme is the only company who sells it (they only have one retail distributor called Dover Street Market) and they only sell product through their online store and limited retail locations around the world.
- USA: New York City, Brooklyn, Los Angeles
- Europe: London, Paris
- Japan: Tokyo (Shibuya), Tokyo (Harajuku), Tokyo (Daikanyama), Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka
Supreme do weekly product drops every Thursday where they release a fresh batch of streetwear via its online store and international retail locations (with Japan getting it two days later on Saturdays). However they never say what's coming.
This allows Supreme to gain brand momentum and organic traffic to their site every week through viral communities like SupTalk and major news sites like Hypebeast, because their fans want to know what's coming next.
Supreme's limited supply strategy created a demand frenzy that got so big once that when the "Supreme Foams" were released at Supreme's New York Store they were forced to not sell it by NYPD due to concern for public safety.
The takeaway: Intentionally release every product in limited quantities to ensure sellout and engineer viral content around your brand (Supreme does this by limiting the quantity of every product they sell and varies the number available depending on the product and collaborators.)
Supreme's homepage is largely different from most retailers homepage. You'll notice that Supreme uses a 'stripped down' website theme that combines a minimalist approach with a 'too cool for school' feel, leaving visitors wanting to know more vs. bombarding them with information.
The brand's stripped down homepage contains:
- Zero call to actions
- A stripped down minimalist design
- Only one graphic → Their logo
When compared to other big name brand homepages Supreme's homepage is strikingly different, and relays a different message. Just take a quick look at Nike's homepage for example:
It's clear what message Supreme wants it's visitors to understand: you need to chase them, they won't chase you.
Supreme has been described as being: "the girls that gives you her number but never answers wen you call."
The takeaway: Will this homepage approach work for everybody? Absolutely not; however, if you are looking to create a high-end, luxury brand, it's something you should look into (Supreme does this with a site design that hasn't changed since it launched in 2006 to stay elusive and on brand with 1 logo, 9 page links, 2 social links and 1 link to their mobile app).
Supreme's mailing list sign up is not plastered all over their website. There is a very modest link to their mailing list page in two places:
- The bottom of their homepage
- Their 'shop' page for a few months before their next collection releases
When you sign up for the Supreme Email List you get… nothing!
Crickets actually start chirping as you wait for any sort of email from Supreme.
It's no surprise that Supreme uses their email newsletter in a different way than most retailers. Following suite with everything else they produce, Supreme's email sign up is not the norm.
In an age where consumers are bombarded with emails highlighting specials, sales, and content — Supreme uses their email list as another tool to portray the message that 'you chase us' in their marketing.
Supreme uses their email list for two main purposes:
1) To update consumers on their weekly 'drops'
"Each week you will be notified of a location where you can go and sign up for your spot on Thursday's line. Once you receive the email you can proceed directly to the location given." – Supreme Reddit Forum
Supreme has been known to send messages and updates to a select group of customers. The way they come up with this list is a mystery.
Supreme's email tactic is such a mystery that sometimes they do not even send order confirmation receipts. There are dozens of conversations online regarding order confirmations:
The takeaway: Do not follow the crowds. Just because 90% of retailers spam people with emails and push for sign ups does not mean it is the best tactic for your email list. Make sure your email marketing strategy is in line with your branding (Supreme does this by only sending emails when their products drop and "mystery" customer-only emails).
Three days before their new collections are available for public sale, Supreme launch something called a "lookbook" on their website. Supreme doesn't have a blog on their website; however, their "lookbooks" provide customers with rich visual engagement with the brand, like this:
When the "lookbook" goes live on Supreme's site, you can look through and see what Supreme is going to drop over the next few months, but you don't know when those items are going to drop. You can basically see all the items Supreme are going to come out with in the coming season, except for collab drops and surprise drops.
Here is one of Supreme's lookbooks for their Fall/Winter collection (they release two per year):
By releasing the lookbook before the product is available for sale, it creates a massive amount of buzz across social media and major news sites like Vogue, Highsnobiety, Complex and Hypebeast:
Fans get so hyped about the lookbooks that they make videos on YouTube reviewing the whole season's collection (pictured above). You can see some of these videos are so popular that they get over 100,000 YouTube views.
Outside of seasonal lookbooks, Supreme do collab lookbooks. These are based on collab drops with other high end fashion and clothing brands. Here is a Louis Vuitton/Supreme lookbook from a collab drop Supreme did with Louis Vuitton:
Supreme use their "lookbooks" to further convey the exclusiveness and allure of their brand.
Notice how the images portray a sort of 'clique' that further motivate customers to try to be a part of the brand culture by purchasing their products.
The takeaway: Use "lookbooks" as part of your content marketing strategy so you can build up hype and social buzz around your brand before your new products drop (Supreme does this through their biannual Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer lookbooks which they release three days before you can buy their products.)
Here's a look at Supreme's top social traffic sources:
To get traffic from Reddit Supreme get one of the moderators of the subreddit to post a "super thread" under the News post flair category with links that go straight to Supreme's website with their newest lookbook:
If you tried to do a post like this by yourself in Reddit, you would get 762 Reddit trolls swearing at you for shameless self-promotion. But by getting the moderator of the subreddit to post, Supreme got 762 comments discussing their new lookbook collection.
Here is a full list of all the moderators for the Supreme subreddit:
Every subreddit has a page like this, all you need to do is type the below URL in your browser window (then replace "supremeclothing" with the name of the subreddit you want to find a moderator in):
Once you click on a moderator's name, on the top right of the page you will see a text link you can click on to send the moderator a private message:
The takeaway: When you have a big product launch incentivise Reddit moderators in your chosen subreddit to share your product launch so you can drive massive traffic from Reddit to your ecommerce website (Supreme does this by getting moderators in the r/supremeclothing subreddit to post their newest lookbooks.)
Supreme has built their brand and boosted exposure by getting the attention of celebrities. Dozens of celebrities are captured wearing Supreme's class box logo tee.
Their clothing can be seen on high profile celebrities such as:
- Lady Gaga
- Kanye West
- Drake
- Kate Moss
One word. Authentically.
Supreme's celebrity endorsement actually started with their collaboration with music artists. In the 1990's Supreme began collaborating with different music artists to inspire their collections. Supreme authentically created relationships with music artists to gain momentum and establish collabs.
Here is the first ever artist collaboration Supreme did (with late graffiti artist Rammellzee when they opened their New York City store in 1994):
The hand-painted Supreme trucker caps with neon clouds Rammellzee helped create are amongst the rarest of Supreme products.
After the trucker cap collab with Rammellzee, Supreme created dozens of celebrity inspired t-shirts, hoodies and caps over the next three decades. When a music artist works closely with Supreme to create a piece of clothing inspired by them, there is a bond that is formed.
Celebrities who work with Supreme can feel the authenticity oozing out of everything released by Supreme, and are likely to wear the products themselves.
Supreme's key influencer marketing tactics for getting collabs with major celebrities and brands are:
- Authentically create real relationships with brands/influencers that you want to collab with. You do this by helping them with things they are involved with (attending events where they are, connecting via social media, etc.)
- Do things that allow your collabs to actively participate in the collab with you. Create a product together.
- Outline the benefits of working with you (massive exposure, tapping into a new market, etc)
- Ensure that the brands/collabs you are trying to reach out to are in line with your morals, values, and overall 'culture' you are creating with your brand
If you do these four things right, then leverage the success of your first collab to get your second and third, you can get celebrity influencers promoting your product for you.
The takeaway: Look at the influencers your target market admires then brainstorm ways to help them with what they're working on in order to authentically gain their trust and collaborate with them (Supreme does this through collaborating with top names like Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Drake and Kate Moss – all artists who their target market admire).
Supreme's instagram posts average over 100,000 likes, and over 700 comments:
To maintain brand consistency, exclusivity, and mystery for each of their Instagram posts, Supreme uses simplicity and celebrity endorsements/collabs to gain followers.
They posted their first Instagram post in March of 2013, and use the social media platform to post images from their lookbooks and highlight their collabs.
Their top hashtag is related to their collab with Louis Vuitton — #LVxSUPREME
The brand has collaborated with brands and influencers such as Vans (pictured below), Nike, Fila, Levi, and dozens of well known brands.
- Nike
- Fila
- Levi
- Vans (pictured below)
Supreme has nailed doing collabs with well-known brands and then promoting that collaboration on their Instagram. By focusing on growing one social media channel (ie: Instagram growth) Supreme are able to show collab partners they are able to promote the collab to their over six million Instagram followers, creating a flywheel for more collab opportunities and more Instagram account growth.
The takeaway: You can't win on every social media channel. Focus on growing one social media channel and finding the types of posts that work best for your business. I saw a marketing company called HubSpot doing the same thing, but instead focusing on Facebook growth by using Facebook video posts (Supreme does this by collaborating on products with major brands like Vans then using that as social proof to hack their Instagram follower growth).
Instead of the standard PPC advertising campaigns most clothing brands do, Supreme instead chooses to do periodic celebrity poster campaigns to stay true to their brand exclusivity.
When a campaign runs, Supreme will glue posters of celebrities rocking the brand's signature box logo design on walls, scaffolding, and mailboxes around New York City and other cities where they have retail stores, like this one with Kate Moss:
Supreme will then make a photo t-shirt (based on the poster) available for sale to Supreme fans in future months. These t-shirts are some of the most desired pieces in Supreme's collection.
Here are some of the most famous poster ad campaigns Supreme have run over the years:
- Raekwon & Elmo, 2005
- Dipset's Jim Jones & Juelz Santana, 2006
- Mike Tyson, 2007
- Kermit the Frog, 2008
- Lou Reed, 2009
- Lady Gaga, 2011
- Prodigy of Mobb Deep, 2011
- Three 6 Mafia, 2012
- Kate Moss, 2012
- Neil Young, 2015
Other than the photo tee and poster campaigns, the closest Supreme comes to advertising is through their behind-the-scenes videos that you can find on the "random" link on their website. Here's what it looks like:
The takeaway: When you find an advertising campaign that works, keep doing it (Supreme stay true to their brand identity and have been doing photo tee and poster campaigns since 2005.)
Every Thursday entrepreneurs (and hypebeasts) line up at Supreme stores to get the latest drop. The online web store sells out so fast that two guys built an ecommerce bot called "The Supreme Saint" that people can buy the option to use for sixty minutes every Thursday at 9am on their website.
From 9am to 10am on Thursday you can pay anywhere from $10 to $100 to get these guys to buy Supreme for you. Then at 11am when the Supreme online store opens, their bot will connect to Supreme's servers with your shopping list and credit card number, and complete the checkout for you before other ordinary online shoppers can.
One time these guys made $20,000 in five seconds, by selling 200 pairs of Nike/Supreme Air Jordan 5 sneakers for $100 (that's not the price of the Air Jordan's, that's the price people paid to use The Supreme Saint bot to get a crack at spending another $200 on Air Jordan's.)[*]
Another bot maker called EasyCop Bot sells a Supreme app-based bot for $595 that people can use on their own. By mid-2016, more than 500 people had purchased it raking them in nearly $300,000:
The reason add-to-cart bot services like this exist, and why so many resellers line up for Supreme is because founder James Jebbia follows two simple ecommerce marketing rules:
- Scarcity: every product is sold in limited quantities
- Consistency: new products go online only on Thursdays, and only at 11am
By following these two rules Supreme have created a culture where customers know when to come back and know that they will find something new every time. This strategy has been so successful that Supreme's website got almost one billion pageviews in 2016 when a box logo hoodie dropped (data I found in a deleted tweet from Supreme's web agency.)
Obviously a lot of that is from bot traffic, but the bots are actually helping Supreme sell out quicker and make more money. They work so well that items are selling out quicker every week (between 19 seconds and 173 seconds.)
The resellers then flip and profit.
Supreme is trying to reduce bots so customers who want to wear the clothing can buy (and not just attract resellers), but their two rule strategy has worked so well that the resale market has become insanely lucrative.
Wealthsimple, an investment company in New York found that if you flip 149 Supreme items at an average profit of $67 per item, you would make $10,000 profit per year. If you then invest that $10,000 every year and the market goes up by an average of 5.5% per year, in 35 years you will be a millionaire.
Most ecommerce companies can't replicate this sort of math for their customers because they're missing scarcity and consistency from their business model.
And just look at the math on this business model for Supreme (this Redditor said it best):
Supreme make this money in under 10 minutes every Thursday too, like damn 😉
The takeaway: If you want a predictable ecommerce business model where you sell out of stock every week and do massive sales volume in a short time period of time, limit your supply and drop your new product at the same time and day every week/month/year (Supreme does it by limiting supply and dropping new products every Thursday at 11am.)
Supreme Streetwear has a marketing strategy so legendary, so mysterious, and so successful that entire documentaries have been created around it's 'marketing strategy'.
Supreme without a doubt displays the same characteristics of exclusive couture brands; however, their products are fairly simple.
Here are the nine key takeaways:
- Intentionally limit the quantity of every product you sell. This is how you can build a demand frenzy around your brand and get people in internet groups and major news sites promoting your product for you.
- Match your homepage design with your brand image. If you're trying to go high-end luxury, keep your website simple and stylish.
- Rethink your email marketing strategy. Are your customers replying to your emails excited to get the next one, or do you send out so many they just ignore you? Just because 90% of retailers spam people with emails and push for sales does not mean it is the best tactic for your email list.
- Release content your target customers want. Just because everyone is writing blog posts, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right marketing tool for you. Supreme use "lookbooks" that get the attention of their fans and the media. Think outside the box for what content your buyers want to engage with, and how often.
- Find moderators inside subreddits of Reddit to promote posts for you. This is the only guaranteed way of getting links to your business promoted in Reddit without being self-promotional.
- Get collabs with celebrities. You do this by helping them researching them and helping them hit the goal they are working on right now, building your product with them and showing them how you will promote them to your audience.
- Focus on growing one social media channel. You can't win on every social channel, but you can double down on one like Supreme did with Instagram by finding what type of posts your audience most like to engage with.
- Double down on advertising campaigns that work. Supreme have being doing photo tee and poster ads for over a decade. They haven't jumped around between different marketing channels, they just do what's worked in the past. Look at what's worked best for your business in the past and double down on it today.
- Use these two ecommerce marketing rules together: Scarcity and Consistency. By limiting the quantity of product you sell and releasing product at a consistent time and day every week/month/year you can sell out of product consistently.

I recommend Klaudia's book! Lots of advice and inspiration. Beautiful photos and graphic design, a suitable proposition for everyone starting their adventure with Home Staging.
I have always lacked the artistic sense and this was reflected in the apartments ready for rent. After applying simple tips (algorithms of conduct) from Klaudia's book and the mass of purchases, it was possible to take truly unearthly photos of the rooms 🙂 I recommend
Very useful publication! Practical knowledge, transmitted in a very accessible way. A recipe for a successful home staging served on a tray! recommend
Effective advice, a lot of examples discussed and smart patents for nice implementations. Klaudia draws attention to important elements in Home Staging. Check lists are a good and useful idea. I recommend this ebook.

Barry Abernathy and Darrell Webb present Appalachian Road Show, the first joint musical effort between Abernathy, Webb and guest star Jim VanCleve on fiddle, is a multidimensional foray into the realm of bluegrass and its southern relatives constructed out of the trio's love of the Appalachian landscape, and it doesn't waste any time dispensing the rich melodies that the region is synonymous with. Abernathy commands our heart-strings with his lightning-fast banjo play, while Webb dictates the soulful harmonies with his mandolin and VanCleve manages the space in between the two. Each one of the songs we find on Appalachian Road Show's debut affair is styled in a different element of southern comfort, but one thing that they all have in common is their authentic exemplification of country musicianship.
Though "Milwaukee Blues" and "Piney Mountains" are designed on different ends of the bluegrass spectrum, the emotional vortex created by their magnetic lyrics makes them instantly recognizable as being cut from the same musical cloth. Their shared tonality is what makes them the so similar, not their execution of melody. A common theme in this album is togetherness in spite of differences, something that has been holding Appalachia together through thick and thin for centuries, and a fine example would be the eloquently arranged three tracks that we start off with in this record. "Little Black Train" is the darkness of a laboring south personified; "Dance, Dance, Dance" is the bit of joyousness that the culture's communal unity is known for; and "Broken Bones" beckons a period of discord, pain and suffering that shaped what the whole of our country looks like today. They couldn't be more different, yet they're able to affectionately share this album together.
BUY THE MUSIC: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dance-dance-dance-single/1435667319
"Georgia Buck" is a great bluegrass shootout that gives "Lovin' Babe" and "Old Greasy Coat" a run for their money on the sheer strength of harmony, but the latter two are much more sophisticated in their compositional layout. The last song on the record, "I Am Just a Pilgrim," is much less a bluegrass song and more of a folk ballad, but it also features a classically refined arrangement that is magnified by the slick production. Whoever was in charge of operating the levels behind the glass with this album made sure that none of the instrumentals ever get smashed together, which makes these otherwise elaborately designed songs much more accessible to the typical music enthusiast.
You really get an idea about what matters most to both Abernathy and Webb in this record, and their relationship with Appalachia is portrayed not only through the pointed lyrics and their textured delivery, but also via the unpredictable rhythms that they're driven by. A song as dexterously gripping as "Little Black Train," which grows out of the spoken word in track one, is meant to get our adrenaline flowing through its combustible pace, but it's malevolent lyrics are what really make it as hot a track as a burning ember in the fireplace. I'm impressed with what they've accomplished in this initial outing and am definitely curious as to where Appalachian Road Show goes next with this intriguing take on traditional bluegrass music.

第33篇 中美关系
Ladies and gentlemen, just now I 've held official talks with President Cliton. The two sides have held an extensive and in-depth exchange of views on China-U.S. relations and the major international and regional issues. The talks were positive, constructive, and productive. The successful exchange of visits between the two heads of states of China and the United States marks a new stage of growth of China-U.S. relations. This not only serves the common interests of China and the United States, but also will be of important significance to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia Pacific and the world at large.
Peace and development are the main theme of contemporary times. In the new historical conditions, the common interests of China and the United States are increasing, not decreasing. The foundation for cooperation between the two countries is reinforcing, not weakening.
Both sides believe that China and the United States, as the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, should continue to work together to promote peace and security in the world and the Asia Pacific in particular, to ease and eliminate all kinds of tensions and to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, to strengthen the efforts in protecting the environment, combating international crime, drug trafficking, and international terrorism. Our two sides have agreed to further step up cooperation and the dialogue between the two sides in many areas has made important progress. President Clinton and I have decided that China and the United States will not target the strategic nuclear weapons under their respective control at each other. This demonstrates to the entire world that China and the United States are partners, not adversaries. I hereby wish to reiterate that since the very first day when China came into possession of nuclear weapons, China has undertaken not to be the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
President Clinton and I have reached a broad range of agreements and consensus on further increasing exchanges in cooperation between China and the United States in all areas in our bilateral relations. We have agreed to take positive steps to promote the growth of the mutually beneficial economic cooperation and trade between China and the United States and to expand the exchanges and the cooperation between the two countries in the energy, environment, scientific, educational, cultural, health, legal, and the military fields. We have also agreed to enhance the consultations and the cooperation between China and the United States on the issues of disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation. And we have issued joint statements on the BWC protocol on the question of the antipersonnel land mines and that of the South Asia.
The Taiwan question is the most important and the most sensitive issue at the core of China-U.S. relations. We hope that the U.S. side will adhere to the principle set forth in the three China-U.S. joint communiqués and the joint China-U.S. statement, as well as the relevant commitments it has made in the interest of a smooth growth of China-U.S. relations.
The improvement and the growth of China-U.S. relations have not come by easily. It is the result of the concerted efforts of the governments and people of our two countries. So we should all the more treasure this good result. As China and the United States have different social systems, ideologies, values, and cultural traditions, we have some difference of views on certain issues. However, they should not become the obstacles in the way of the growth of China-U.S. relations. The world is a colorful one. The development path of the countries in the world should be chosen by the people of the countries concerned.
China and the United States should view and handle the bilateral relations from a long-term and strategic perspective. We should promote the growth of China-U.S. relations in the spirit of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, seeking common ground while putting aside difference, and developing cooperation. I believe that through the concerted efforts of both sides, we will make constant progress in the direction of building a constructive, strategic partnership between China and the United States oriented towards the 21st century.

Rock Climbing involves a lot of different aspects. In this section, take a look at some of its essentials.These include rock climbing technique, styles & variations, and rock climbing training. Know the different Climbing Moves and learn how to tie Rock Climbing Knots.
Table of Contents
Rock Climbing Techniques
Know the different systems for ropes and learn the essential climbing techniques. Also, take a look at common mistakes (such as back clipping) committed by many climbers.
Rock Climbing Training
You need a type of training that will enable you to meet the demands of Rock Climbing. Learn some exercises to increase your endurance, burst, and strength, then get going with your backpacks
Rock Climbing Moves
Rock Climbing is a challenging activity which entails certain body movements or maneuvers. Wear the most comfortable climbing shorts. Know and get familiar with the various rock climbing moves.
Rock Climbing Rating Table
There are different rating systems used by many climbers. In this section, take a look at some main grades that are used in the Climbing world.
Rock Climbing Calls
Climbing Calls are very important and should always be clarified among the climbers before the start of a climb. In this section, learn the different terms used in rock climbing.
For clear communication between the leader and a second during a climbing session, Climbing Calls have developed. These calls are very important and should always be clarified between the leader and the second before the start of a climb.
It is important that these are called out loudly and clearly. One should not add words to these calls as this will cause confusion. If you are on a busy route, then always use you climbing partner's name.
A call from the leader that he is pulling up, hand over hand, with all of the slack rope between him and his second
A call from the second to indicate that all of the slack rope between him and the leader has been pulled up
Call from leader that comes only after he has put on his belay device, checked all knots, gates shut and done up, tight on belay, in line with belay, and is able to brake correctly
Call from the second, before starting to climb, after this call, the second does not climb until the leader calls out 'ok' or 'climb on'
OK or CLIMB ON
Call from the leader to affirm he heard that the second is about to climb
If the climbing rope has not been taken in for some time, or slack rope has been introduced due to unclipping a runner, etc.
Indicates that slack rope is needed, maybe to reverse a move or unclip a runner
This is called by the second, either when making an awkward move or when expecting to fall off
A call from the leader to indicate that there is no possibility of him coming to harm. The leader will normally say 'safe' at the top of a route to the belayer out of courtesy.
YOU'RE OFF or OFF BELAY
Call from the second in response to the 'safe' call from the leader
Call from the leader, to indicate that the first runner has been placed and the second must now be ready to hold a fall from a different direction
This is a call from anyone who has accidentally dislodge a stone (e.g. from a crag or a route). This call must be shouted in full volume. Once this call is given, those below should not look up to avoid receiving an injury.
This is a courtesy call when lowering or throwing out a rope, or when abseiling, top roping etc.
These are the usual calls used in Rock Climbing. These may vary, depending on the climbers. Just bear in mind that the set of Climbing Calls that will be used must be agreed upon by the leader and the other climbers before the climb.
Rock Climbing Routes
The rock climbing routes that you choose are dependent on numerous factors, including the location, weather, difficulty, and the climber's ability.
Rock Climbing enthusiasts have the entire world as their playground. While it costs a lot of money to pursue rock climbing as a serious hobby, its allure is unlike any other. From the physical endurance to the thrill of exploring new terrain, its rewards are endless.
Perhaps one of the trickiest parts of Rock Climbing is determining where to climb. There are so many routes to choose from all over the world. The routes that you choose are dependent on numerous factors, including the location, weather, difficulty, and the climber's ability. There are formations well-suited for beginners, while others require intensive climbing experience to be conquered.
Grading scale
Different slopes are meant for different climbers. As climbers vary in their level of expertise, so does the grade of the climb. It is important for beginners, especially, to climb trails that match the level of their ability. Climbing trails or routes are generally classified into six grades or levels, with 1 as the easiest and 6 as the hardest:
As with all other activities, the weather is a big factor in your climb. Although it is possible to climb under different weather conditions, climbers must undergo proper training before climbing in adverse conditions (e.g., rain, snow). There are programs designed for that. It would be advisable for beginners to schedule their climb during dry weather conditions, regardless of the trail's difficulty.
Online Resources
Deciding on which trail to conquer has been made easier due to online resources. Whether you fancy a climb in the Americas, Europe, Asia, or the Pacific Rim, there are online resource that match your needs. Most online resources categorize its routes per continent and difficulty level and maintain a large volume of forum topics to help novice, intermediate, and professional climbers. Route information posted online also contains its class or grade, so climbers can identify which ones they can pursue.
Final Verdict
These are just the fundamental aspects of Rock Climbing that you should know. You need to be prepared and knowledgeable enough on these essentials before taking the climb. Moreover, you must understand that Rock Climbing is usually done in an environment that is potentially dangerous. Thus, make sure you have learned the necessary skills and techniques and have prepared everything you need before heading out.
The sections above are intended for informational purposes only. It is still wise to learn the essentials of Rock Climbing from qualified and experienced climbers. The information provided here cannot be a substitute to a formal training in Rock Climbing.

What is the difference between forced and voluntary migration?
As we have already discussed, people who flee persecution and violence in their own country are considered asylum seekers while people who decide to move to another country in order to seek employment and better life opportunities are considered migrants.
Migrants can of course be legal, moving through relevant legal channels with the appropriate documentation, or they may be irregular, moving across borders without appropriate authorisation or entering, for instance, a country as a tourist or temporary visitor and then engaging in employment and overstaying their visa.
It is generally assumed that asylum seekers are forced to move while migrants chose to do so voluntarily. However, how voluntary is indeed migration? Can we draw a black and white distinction between forced and voluntary migration?
The answer is more complex than what may appear at first sight.
On one hand, migrants are usually people with a strong will who mobilise significant resources in order to prepare their journey and arrival in the country of destination. They save money, they gather information about the trip and the destination and about potential employment there. They speak to friends and family at the destination who will help them upon arrival. They may speak to travel agents, potential employers at destination or middlemen of different sorts. They may try to learn the language of the destination country. In short, migrants clearly make decisions and take up actions in order to prepare for their migration.
However, this does not necessarily mean their migration is voluntary. The reasons for leaving their country of origin may have to do with circumstances that are beyond their control. Migrating is not a decision taken easily, it involves high costs – both material and emotional as well as social – and it is usually undertaken because there exist strong motives that make a person want to go to another country. Thus, people may simply not have work in their country of origin or they may be employed but their income may not be enough for them and their families to survive. They may suffer very harsh living and working conditions. They may also be pressured by their own family to migrate in order to help the other family members (for instance to create a small family business, to help siblings and their families, or to support elderly parents).
In other words, the decision to leave is usually taken under very strong pressure by circumstances beyond the control of the migrant her/himself. Let us now look at three examples in order to discuss the extent to which decisions by migrants are forced or voluntary.
Veronica (all names are fictitious) is a young single mother in Peru. Six months ago her husband left to go to work in Colombia but has since not sent back any money. She has two young children aged 2 and 4. She works in a small private company but the money she receives is hardly enough to feed her children. She thus asks help from her mother and siblings to pay for a travel agent that gives her a tourism visa to Spain. Once in Spain she hopes to find work as a live-in maid through the expatriate Peruvian community.
Mehdi is a 40-year-old Albanian. He and his wife have a small shop in a southern Albanian town. However, they hardly are able to make ends meet. They have two children in elementary school and their house is in a very poor condition. They have been longing to change the flooring and improve the insulation and heating. However the money they make from the shop is not enough. Mehdi decides to engage in temporary work in agriculture in Greece. Thus for 4 to 6 months a year he commutes to northern Greece to help with the harvest of different crops. He also occasionally takes up building jobs when these become available. He sends money to his wife and they manage to improve their house and overall living conditions. However, while in Greece Mehdi has to endure very poor conditions: temporary workers sleep in tents or barns, food is insufficient as he tries to save all he can, and sometimes he and his fellow workers are cheated by employers in their daily or weekly pay. He also finds it hard to be away from his family for nearly half of the year. His only consolation is drinking a beer and chatting with fellow nationals on Sundays.
Clara is a young woman in the Philippines. She and her husband had started a small catering business but most of it was destroyed by the latest flood to hit their region. The restaurant was not insured and they have no more savings and hence no money to carry out repair work. They have a young boy aged 4. Her husband has tried to find work in other businesses in the area but the situation is pretty dire for everyone. She went to a government orientation programme. They suggested she migrate to Singapore to work as a domestic worker. She will stay there for two years and with the money that manage to put aside they hope to restart their restaurant. However, it is very hard for her to leave behind her husband and young son as well as the rest of her family and friends. She knows that being a domestic worker in Singapore involves long hours and little rights. She inquires about migrating to the USA but the waiting time is too long and her points are low. She knows another possibility is to go to the Gulf states but she is frightened by the stories she hears about the abuse that domestic workers often suffer there. So she has decided to go to Singapore because she sees this country as relatively familiar and safe.
What do you think: are these cases of voluntary or forced migration?

Selsey Lifeboat Station hosted a visit from a group of 8 French Coastguards based at CROSSMA (Centre Regional Operationnelle de Surveillance et de Sauvetage Maritime) Jobourg who were shown around both the All Weather Lifeboat 'Voluntary Worker' and the Inshore Lifeboat 'Betty and Thomas Moore'.
The group of coastguards had come from Brittany to spend some time at MRCC Solent to see how the British Coastguard Agency worked. They specifically requested a visit to RNLI Selsey Lifeboat Station as they thought it would be interesting to see a slipway boat and the possibility that it would be launched while they were visiting.
The coastguards are seconded from the French Navy for a 3-year tour of duty and are based at CROSSMA Jobourg, which is on the northwest coast of the Cotentin Peninsular in Normandy. The area covered is from Mont St Michel to La Harve with some of the most challenging sea and weather conditions on the coast of France.
The coastguards presented Colvin Rae, Chairman of Selsey Lifeboat station, with a plaque from CROSSMA Jobourg Station and Colvin reciprocated with two coloured prints of the Selsey Lifeboat Station and the All Weather Lifeboat 'City of London'. The 'City of London' was based at Selsey from 1983 to 2006.
Christophe Vautier, Watch Officer at CROSSMA Jobourg said: "We were very impressed with your two lifeboats and you can see that the boats are loved and are very important to the volunteers who man them when they are called out. Thanks very much for your welcome. You have a wonderful station and very nice people, once again, thanks very much."

In Northern Ireland, the lush Riverlands lie side-by-side with the Iron Islands, the Dothraki Sea and Winterfell are neighbours and you never know when you might come upon a direwolf. Follow the stories of the Seven Kingdoms, in Game of Thrones® Territory. Game of Thrones® Territory Explore our trip idea on the map View Map Map Day One Transport yourself to Westeros – travel through the bewitched forests and ill-fated camps of the Seven Kingdoms, experience Winterfell in the North, and the azure waters of Castle Stokeworth. A driving 55 mins Tollymore Forest Park Into the Haunted Forest We're throwing you in at the deep end – Tollymore Forest Park is home to magnificent red woods, centuries-old stone structures and the forbidding White Walkers. Known as the Haunted Forest in Westeros, this expanse of wild woodland is where we first came face-to-face with the cold-blooded creatures. It's also where the Starks encountered their newborn direwolves for the first time. Seek out treasures of your own in the mossy glow of these ancient trees – but be on the lookout for any blue eyes watching you from the gloom... Get started Make a stop at Leitrim Lodge, nestled at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, and where Bran first met Meera and Jojen Reed. Afterwards, head to the quirky Olive Bizarre in Newcastle, and grab a baked creation to start your day out right. B driving 15 mins Inch Abbey Monastic ruins with a view Inch Abbey has quite the history – not only is it a beautiful Cistercian Abbey founded in 1180, it's also where the War of the Five Kings began. The houses of the North took up the cry of "the King in the North!", after learning of Ned Stark's death, spurring his son Robb on to war. On a clear day, while you sit beside the gushing River Quoile, you can see Downpatrick Cathedral, where St Patrick is said to be buried. Don't miss From one legend to another, stop over at the St Patrick Centre in Downpatrick to uncover the saint's fascinating history. C Castle Ward The house that Stark built Since the 16th century, the Ward family have called Castle Ward home. But in the Seven Kingdoms, this sprawling demesne has another name – Winterfell, ancestral home of House Stark. Here, you can practice archery in the same spot as Jon Snow, model some authentic Westeros attire and feast on a lavish medieval banquet inspired by the show. If you have more time Head to The Cuan Guesthouse for a hearty lunch and marvel at the Game of Thrones® inspired door, depicting scenes from the sixth season of the series. These intricate masterpieces are dotted across Northern Ireland, and were carved from the wood of the 200 year old beech trees at the Dark Hedges. The Dark Hedges Day Two Prepare yourself – you're about to travel from the North, through the Neck and into the turbulent Stormlands! Follow Tyrion and Jorah as they come face to face with the slavers of Essos, visit Pyke where the Greyjoys rule and take yourself down the mighty Kingsroad... D driving 45 mins Toome Canal Sail the Old Valyrian Canal The shores of Lough Neagh and Toome Canal are a beautiful mix of woodland, bogs and fascinating wildlife. This is where Tyrion Lannister was kidnapped by Jorah Mormont and taken prisoner in season five. The Toome Canal, representing the Old Valyrian Canal on the show, is also where the two were attacked by the Stone Men. If you have more time A must-visit if you're in the area is the Seamus Heaney HomePlace, a gorgeous arts and literary centre that celebrates the life and work of the late Nobel Laureate. The exhibition is filled with stories, images and audio exploring the people and places that inspired Heaney – one of the world's most celebrated poets. E driving 23 mins Cairncastle The Neck and the North Dramatic. It's the only word that can truly capture the Antrim plateau – with windswept plains and basalt outcrops creating a spiny ridge against the sky, it's no wonder this location was chosen to represent the Neck. This craggy landscape is the site of one of the most tense scenes in the show, where Sansa Stark learns from Littlefinger that she is betrothed to the terrible Ramsay Bolton. If you have more time Clamber towards Knock Dhu, a Bronze Age promontory fort that sits high above the landscape.

This is where Lord Yohn Royce takes Robyn Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie, in order to raise him as his ward and where Sansa Stark and Littlefinger watch his attempts at duelling. If you have more time Go for a canter, courtesy of the nearby Shean's Horse Farm. What better way to live the Westeros lifestyle than from atop a trusty steed, riding through the green Antrim hills or along a windswept beach? Whichever route you choose, an unforgettable journey is guaranteed. H driving 25 mins Cushendun Caves The secret shadow in the Stormlands The Cushendun Caves are over 400 million years old. Found along the Antrim coastline, near the cosy village of Cushendun, they look out over the stony beach and the turbulent sea. In Westeros, these caves are the site of a dark crime. This is where Melisandre summons her shadowy demon beneath Renly's Camp, in order to murder Stannis' brother in the name of the Lord of Light.

BU Alum Transforms City Hall Plaza for HUBweek
Leonie Bradbury is festival's director of art and creative initiatives
On a busy day in mid-June, Boston's City Hall Plaza was filled with tourists and office workers, some basking in the sun, others rushing off to do noontime errands. But as Leonie Bradbury gazed out over the plaza's eight acres of paved patio, she was envisioning a space that in just a few months would host an art exhibition, dozens of panel discussions, forums, live performances, and a party.
Bradbury (GRS'01) is the director of art and creative initiatives for HUBweek, an annual festival that brings together some of the most innovative minds in science, technology, and the arts for a weeklong exploration of innovation and creativity in Greater Boston. They travel from around the globe for the series of demonstrations, discussions, and performances, which began Monday. The HUB, the central festival site, opens on City Hall Plaza today, October 10.
Founded in 2015 by the Boston Globe, Harvard University, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital, HUBweek bills itself as "a first-of-its-kind civic collaboration" that aims to celebrate Boston's science, technology, and innovation by bringing diverse disciplines into meaningful conversations about the future of society. Part conference, part robotics fair, and part art exhbition, this year's festival is expected to draw attendees from 59 countries and nearly 40 industries, among them Amazon Robotics chief technologist Tye Brady, award-winning New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, David Hogg, cofounder of March for Our Lives, and Ann McKee, a BU School of Medicine professor of neurology and pathology and director of BU's Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center.
Bradbury is responsible not only for commissioning special works by artists for the event, but for working with a team to design the overall look of the portion of the festival on City Hall Plaza. "Part of what excites me about HUBweek is that it's a very public place for people to encounter art—and in a unique location and a unique context," she says.
Since it started, Bradbury has worked for HUBweek in a variety of roles, but last year was her first as director of art and creative initiatives. For her inaugural year in charge of the festival's art and creative aspects, she oversaw the installation of a series of huge geocentric domes that covered most of the plaza and were used for panel discussions, performances, a robotics fair, and parties. Resembling a futuristic lunar colony, the domes' smooth sides stood out starkly against the sharp edges of a series of former shipping containers that had been repurposed to house miniature art exhibitions. For Bradbury, the designs were not about art mimicking tech or tech mimicking art, but about making an organic connection between the two.
"Rather than thinking of all the artists having to hit the subjects of art, science, or tech, I think of it more as being innovative. And being cutting-edge within the discipline of art," she says.
For this year's HUBweek—whose theme is "We the Future"—Bradbury and her team have installed two domes and three glass pavilions on the plaza to house the events. "We wanted to create something that was very visual and captured the spirit of this year's theme, with its emphasis on inclusivity and transparency," she says, "and the pavilion's glass walls do just that."
The festival again features more than a dozen shipping containers transformed to house various art installations, many of them painted on the outside with murals by local artists. Artists are selected to participate one of two ways: either through an open call, where they submit proposals, or by invitation. "The reason we do both," Bradbury says, "is because we want the art selection to be a very open process." And while the emphasis is on local artists, Hubweek 2018 includes work by international artists as well. Art is selected based on its ability to create a social impact.
Being an art theorist and curator, Bradbury is familiar with the societal role of art and innovation. Prior to her role at HUBweek, she was director and curator of Montserrat College of Art's galleries and had cofounded Alter Projects, which provided custom arts programming and consultation for artists, organizations, and the private sector. She earned a master's in art history at BU and is completing a PhD in philosophy, aesthetics, and art theory at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in Visual Arts.
While her background is in art, not science, she does have a strong interest in science and technology, which has informed not only her doctoral dissertation, titled "Artwork As Network: A Reconceptualization of the Work of Art and Its Exhibition," but the way she approaches HUBweek.
"An exhibition can be a network of things," Bradbury says. "It's all about the relationship between the objects or people or events. So, this week itself is actually like a really big network, and one of the cool things that I love about it is that it's a temporary gathering of things, and then it also disperses out again. It's a temporary form.
"To me, that's very important," she says. "Part of what makes this great and special is that it is only here for six days. So, you have to come in, right? It's not going to be there next week or next month or next year. I think that's part of the magic or the energy and it's part of what makes it work—it kind of forces people to be present."
This year's HUBweek runs through Sunday, October 14. Find a schedule of events and registration details here.

US senator John McCain pushed Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili to start the war with Russia.
Nobody has heard from the Skripals for quite a while. They are most probably dead and Britain is preparing the public for news of their death.
No evidence given. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Skripals' alleged death.
Recently, Sir Laurie Bristow, the British ambassador to Russia, confirmed that Sergei and Yulia Skripal are both alive. He told Interfax that neither party was interested in talking to Russian officials. The ambassador emphasized that if the Skripals want to meet with representatives of Russian officials, the British side will facilitate the opportunity.
This is one of many competing and contradictory stories promulgated by Russian state-controlled media about the Skripal poisoning.

Hosting WF Workflow Designer in a Web Application
The WF workflow designer is a very powerful tool for developers and non-developers who want to design workflow solutions. There is a desire in the community to host workflow designer in web applications and questions on how to achieve this keep on coming up. Ghenadie Plingau and I decided to write up a background and information regarding the task of hosting workflow designer in web application. We hope you find this useful.
The main reason why it is hard to host workflow designer in a web application is CLR Code Access Security. Workflow designer uses reflection and needs full trust permission set to execute. There are multiple ways to implement workflow authoring functionalities in a web application. The following are the options you have if you desire to achieve this:
- Start from a fully trusted source. If you want to execute workflow assemblies from a web hosted user control, you can place all workflow designer assemblies on a share,altercode access securitypermissions and give full trust to the internet zone. For more information about how to alter CAS check MSDN article here. Thismay bean unacceptable solution for intranet applications.
- Install the hosting application locally. If you don't want to alter CAS but still need the full workflow designer functionality, you will need to have the workflow designer assemblies installed locally and then execute them on local machine. If you go this route, you're fundamentally hosting the workflow designer in a windows application locally installed that gets launched from a link in IE.
- Use Ajax designer. If you want to execute the workflow assemblies on the server side, as people expect in web applications, you will lose most of the workflow designer functionality. As a result, you will need to rewrite some of the workflow designer functionality (drag and drop, condition editors, etc) and either display an image of the workflow on the client side as Jon Flanders describes here, or redraw the activity tree yourself as Ghenadie did here on http://www.netfxlive.com/. In this case, the workflow designer assemblies are running on the server. The browser on client side is making use of full trust mode on the server by invoking server side methods using AJAX calls. Components like workflow compiler, activity validators, rules engine, condition parser, expression validator, etc are running on server. The XOML serialization happens on client and validated on server at compile time. Activity bind and custom activities are also validated at compile time on the server. Drag and drop, condition dialog and activity bind dialogs are running on client. This is assuring a fairly good UI responsiveness and is a good distribution model. Workflow designer is making use of html element hierarchy already implemented in browser. Drag/drop actions are actually dynamic modifications of html code. During serialization, each activity produces a xoml node and workflow xoml is assembled from html element tree. Resulted xoml is later validated on server side during compilation.

Share Your No-Contact Orders
Published by Cale Byers on .
Filed under Campus
I'm beginning an investigative project to collect no-contact orders and identify systemic issues at Linfield, considering outcomes from individual stories and looking at broader patterns. There appears to be a pattern of ongoing abuse, with some students having committed multiple assaults, or harassing multiple people. If you have a no-contact order, please get in touch, and I'd like to interview you and learn about your circumstances. Please review the security tips at the end of this post before contacting me! I understand your apprehensions about sharing, but I encourage you to remain skeptical of whatever advice the college has given (or threatened) regarding the confidentiality of your no-contact orders. Linfield prefers to avoid legal matters, but not necessarily to ensure that you receive justice. I will never share personally-identifying information without your consent, and I will consult with an attorney when appropriate, to make sure nobody is exposed to unnecessary legal risk. To incentivize your participation, I'm offering payment of $20 per hour for interviews, and $20 for each no-contact order. However, please understand that I have little money, and this newspaper has no revenue model. If you would like to volunteer your time and documents, I would appreciate it greatly, but I believe you are entitled to compensation if you so choose.
Current Understanding and Some Speculation
Despite years of educational campaigns and safety orientations, students are nonetheless raped, harassed, or abused each year, while their abusers remain on campus, facing no legal consequences, and scant repercussions within the collegiate judicial system. Based on a number of confidential discussions with students, it appears that Linfield administrators encourage both parties to sign no-contact orders. These documents are a college policy that carries little actual weight. Whereas violating a restraining order or other legal judgement from a court may land someone in jail, it's unclear if any penalties exist for breaking the college's no-contact orders. It's also important to note that each student, whether a criminal or not, generates thousands of dollars in revenue each semester. If the college punishes students who commit rape, assault, harassment, or violate other laws, they risk losing tuition dollars.
Therefore, I argue that the capitalist profit-motive stands in opposition to the duty to protect students from dangerous individuals, and Linfield's community suffers tremendously. Expelling rapists will reduce profit per rapist, but if dangerous students are retained, they will damage the quality of life of many others, whether through re-traumatizing them or by abusing multiple other students. It stands to reason that affected students may leave the college, and if any ex-Linfield transfers can confirm with personal stories, it might help sway the college into expelling rapists. From what I've gathered, it appears that Linfield cares more about its bottom-line than the welfare of its students.
Little information is known about the current environment at Linfield. Our understanding is incomplete. Overall, people remain silent, and the college is complicit in the ongoing danger posed by its harboring of criminals. Through inquiry, we can determine which actions are helpful to student safety, and which policies or decisions are damaging.
Security and Privacy Considerations
Before sending any messages, please make sure you are not using a Linfield computer or email address. I can be reached privately through Signal, an app that encrypts your communication. This is the preferred method of contact, but iMessages are also fine. If you've linked your Linfield email to Twitter or Instagram, make sure you don't receive email notifications when you send messages on social media. If my Twitter message ends up in your Linfield inbox, it can be read by the college. It is best not to use a Linfield account for your personal affairs. It is not necessary to use the Tor browser, but you're welcome to do so.
