Disney - Dr. Franklin - I suppose Our Story Begins With You

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Ben Franklin: ...stained and tinted with all colors, a seeming ethnic
anarchy. Then in a little time, we became more alike
than we were different. In society, not great, but fitted
by our very thoughts of greatness. Ah, excuse me Mr. Twain.

Mark Twain: Eh, what's that? [waking up from his dozing]

Ben Franklin: Perhaps you recognize those inspiring words from one of
America's great writers.

Mark Twain: No, Dr. Franklin, I don't recall writing anything like that.

Ben Franklin: Oh my, of course not. They're from the pen of John Steinbeck
here in the 20th century. Why it seems he has nearly the
same spirit as the founding fathers themselves.

Mark Twain: Well, listen to the proud younger statesman.

Ben Franklin: Mr. Twain, pride is one of our national passions. Even
those who overcome it, are proud of their humility.

Mark Twain: Easy now, I was born modest. Fortunately, it wore off.

Ben Franklin: Hoho.

Mark Twain: Dr. Franklin, as our genuine American antique, I suppose
our story begins with you.

Tolle Atmosphäre bei der 40-Stunden-Feier


Vor 40 Jahren wurde das Tübinger Epplehaus besetzt, benannt und zum Jugendzentrum gemacht. Am Wochenende wurde gefeiert. Dazu kamen viele ehemalige Mitarbeiter und Besucher angereist.


°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Graffiti, Einzahl Graffito, steht als Sammelbegriff für thematisch und gestalterisch unterschiedliche sichtbare Elemente, zum Beispiel Bilder, Schriftzüge oder sonstige Zeichen, die von Personen mittels verschiedener Techniken auf Oberflächen oder durch Veränderung dieser im privaten und öffentlichen Raum erstellt wurden. Die Graffiti entstehen zumeist anonym und ohne entsprechende Genehmigungen.

Graffitis* sind hier erlaubt und werden wie eine "newspaper wall" verwendet.

*Der Singular ist im Deutschen wenig gebräuchlich und es wird auch von einem Graffiti (und nicht von einem Graffito) gesprochen. In der Folge wird in der Umgangssprache auch der analog gebildete Plural Graffitis häufiger verwendet
.en
Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun) is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

The term graffiti referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, etc., found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii.

Type 45 destroyer HMS Dragon is pictured in the English Channel close to her home port of Portsmouth.

Britain’s six Type 45 destroyers are the most advanced warships the nation has ever built. Their mission is to shield the Fleet from air attack using the Sea Viper missile which can knock targets out of the sky up to 70 miles away if necessary. The Type 45s can also be used as general-purpose warships; they have huge flight decks to accommodate helicopters up to the size of a Chinook. There’s enough space on board to host a Royal Marines detachment up to 60-men strong.

As for the ship’s company, they enjoy ‘creature comforts’ only dreamed of by their forebears: no sailor lives in a mess square for more than six people and there are no communal heads (toilets) or showers. All Type 45s will be based in Portsmouth and will serve until around 2040.

Minneapolis protest against Arizona immigrant law SB 1070
family photo
Image by Fibonacci Blue
Minneapolis, Minnesota

April 26, 2010

A coalition of community organizations held a protest against the new Arizona SB 1070 law which gives law enforcement more power to demand proof of citizenship and detain those they suspect of being illegal aliens. The protest was at the downtown Minneapolis Hilton where a fundraising was being held for the Minnesota Family Council attended by Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty and Fox News personality Mike Huckabee. The protest was supported by groups such as SEIU local 26 and the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition.

SB 1070 defines crimes involving hiring, transporting, harboring or concealing illegal aliens. The law requires Arizona officials and agencies to determine if "reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the U.S." and requires law enforcement officers "to arrest a person if the officer has probable cause to believe that the person has committed any public offense that makes the person removable from the U.S." In effect, the law mandates that Arizona officials and law enforcement check for proof of citizenship without defining what "reasonable suspicion" or "probable cause" should be used to determine if such a check is required. Critics say this will inevitably lead to racial profiling.

To see the medium (500 x 361) animated image scroll down to the first comment below; to see the large (1000 x 722) view original size (look above in the "actions" menu).

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the 1925 Keystone stereograph titled President Roosevelt and the noted naturalist John Burroughs, at Fort Yellowstone, Yellowstone Park. The first national park in the world, Yellowstone was established in 1872.

John Burroughs was a naturalist and essayist in America whose nature writings, according to some, are eclipsed only by Thoreau's. Burroughs is credited with initiating the Nature Fakers controversy, an intriguing debate in the early 20th century nature writing, that pitted science against anthropomorphism. The debate initially targeted authors telling false stories about animals but later included authors overly sentimental about the natural world.

Whether it’s off to medical or law school, a master’s or Ph.D. program, the job market or even your parents basement, different students have different plans after graduation. The question ever apparent in the minds of upperclassmen in the spring time is a question of just what exactly will they be doing after walking across that stage at graduation.

Some students know exactly what they will be doing, while some students take a perhaps more “fluid” approach to planning their future. The thing I find important, despite whether you are a student who has it all figured out or not, is to plan ahead and keep your doors open.

When I say keep your doors open, I mean give yourself as many potential opportunities as possible.

While many students may know exactly what they want to do, what harm would it be to create a few potential back up plans if need be? In my opinion, college is a time where students have the opportunity to learn as much as possible and can decide what subjects they truly enjoy. If you have your heart set on something, in no way would I suggest you give up on that dream, as I believe an individual naturally works better in a field they truly enjoy, however, it is important to err on the side of caution. Who knows what else you might find to be enjoyable if you branch out a little?

To make sure you are ready for whatever comes your way after graduation, I would stress to plan early.

The fact of the matter is that underclassmen, freshmen especially, rarely tend to think as much about their post-graduation lives as their upperclassmen counterparts do. This is only natural. However, at the risk of sounding like a guidance counselor, I would stress that the earlier you start setting yourself up for what you want to accomplish after your four years at Florida State, the better.

If you have a few ideas as to what you would like to do after school, then research exactly what type of qualifications will make you competitive for that position. Do you need a certain type of internship? Are there preferred majors? Do you need to take specific classes or certain exams such as the GRE or GMAT? All of this may be intuitive; however, it is something that is easy to keep putting off until the last minute when it may be too late.

Now graduate school may be the answer for many students, but I would stress that going to graduate school just for the sake of going to graduate school is a poor choice. In today’s economics climate, many students who cannot find a job after graduation tend to use graduate school as a backup plan. This may be only delaying the problem, though. Certainly there are career choices where a graduate degree will be very beneficial, but this is not always the case. It is important to research how heavily graduate degrees are weighed for the types of positions you will be applying for and determine if the potential benefit of the degree outweighs the cost. Taking on additional debt and forfeiting the opportunity cost of potential income due to attending graduate school is a decision not to be taken lightly.

In conclusion, planning ahead for your future and keeping many doors open can help ease the stress of entering the job market and help lead you to a rewarding career. Whether you think you know what you want to do exactly or not, giving yourself many options to chose from and carefully weighing out the costs and benefits of each option is a good game plan to stick to.

.....item 2).... UMass Amherst Libraries ... www.library.umass.edu ... Services » Plagiarism Prevention at UMass Amherst (Turnitin)

www.library.umass.edu/services/plagiarism-prevention/

Services » Plagiarism Prevention at UMass Amherst (Turnitin)

Plagiarism Prevention at UMass Amherst (Turnitin)
Introduction

Turnitin is a plagiarism prevention service that detects textual matches between student papers and other documents available in electronic form on the Internet, in subscription databases, and in databases of student papers.

UMass Amherst Libraries licensed Turnitin as a stand-alone service for the UMass Amherst campus beginning in January 2006. As of fall 2007, the service is also fully integrated into SPARK courses. UMass Amherst student papers submitted to the service since January 2006 are stored in a special database accessible only to UMass Amherst faculty and not to anyone at any other institution that subscribes to Turnitin (hence student intellectual property rights are protected).

-----Turnitin Web Site Vs. Turnitin in SPARK/Moodle

UMass Amherst instructors can use Turnitin within SPARK or Turnitin with Moodle, or they can use the Turnitin Web site to assess students' assignments. Both are provided courtesy of the UMass Amherst libraries, but *the two methods do not work in conjunction with one another*. Student assignments submitted through SPARK cannot be seen by the instructor on the Turnitin Web site and vice versa.

-----Why Use Turnitin in SPARK or Moodle?

Turnitin within SPARK is ideal for instructors who already have a SPARK course and/or for large courses. We recommend that instructors use the Turnitin Web site when they would like to submit just a few suspect papers for review and do not wish to open a SPARK course account.

-----Faculty Use of Turnitin

Faculty using Turnitin outside of SPARK must contact the Library for account information. Faculty may use plagiarism prevention services during the grading process as described in the Academic Regulations 2007-2008, pp. 7-8 (www.umass.edu/registrar/media/academicregs.pdf ):

"Intellectual honesty requires that students demonstrate their own learning during examinations and other academic exercises, and that other sources of information or knowledge be appropriately credited. Scholarship depends upon the reliability of information and reference in the work of others. Student work at the University may be analyzed for originality of content. Such analysis may be done electronically or by other means. Student work may also be included in a database for the purpose of checking for possible plagiarized content in future student submissions. No form of cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, or facilitating dishonesty will be condoned in the University community."

-----Student Use of Turnitin

Students using Turnitin to submit assignment for their Moodle course can review helpful resources created by the Instructional Media Lab.

-----Academic Honesty Policy

The Academic Honesty policy and procedures created by the Ombuds Office and sponsored by the Dean of Students were revised in 2007.

-----Academic Honesty Information for Faculty and Students

The Education Subcommittee of the Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Student Plagiarism supports a Web site on academic honesty for faculty and students on plagiarism and intellectual property. As a portion of that Web site, the Subcommittee provides the following sample paragraphs for faculty to edit and include in their syllabi to inform students that they will use one or both of the services in their course. The Subcommittee also recommends faculty discuss plagiarism with students on the first day of class.

-----Sample Syllabus Statements

If you plan to use the Turnitin plagiarism prevention service for all assignments in your course, include this paragraph in your syllabus and review it during the first class meeting:

As a condition of continued enrollment in this course, you agree to submit all assignments to the Turnitin for textual comparison or originality review for the detection of possible plagiarism. All submitted assignments will be included in the UMass Amherst dedicated database of assignments at Turnitin and will be used solely for the purpose of checking for possible plagiarism during the grading process and during this term and in the future. Students who do not submit their papers electronically to the service will be required to submit copies of the cover page and first cited page of each source listed in the bibliography with the final paper in order to receive a grade on the assignment.

If you plan to use the Turnitin plagiarism prevention service for selected suspect assignments, include this paragraph in your syllabus and review it during the first class meeting:

Students should be aware that suspect assignments (e.g., those without drafts, without works cited pages, or with large departures in style) may be submitted to Turnitin by the instructor for the purpose of checking for possible plagiarism. Submitted assignments will be included in the UMass Amherst dedicated database of assignments at Turnitin and will be used solely for the purpose of checking for possible plagiarism during the grading process during this term and in the future. Students must provide an electronic copy of their assignment to the instructor for submission to the service when plagiarism is suspected, in order to receive a grade on the assignment and to avoid possible sanctions.

-----Need Help with Turnitin?

For account information, assistance with, or comments on Turnitin, visit
www.library.umass.edu/tools/turnitin/
For questions, contact: turnitin@library.umass.edu

For assistance with using Turnitin inside SPARK, instructors should contact Academic Computing's Instructional Media Lab (545-2823 | instruct@oit.umass.edu). Students should contact the OIT Help Desk (413-545-9400).
