Tangerine: A Novel by Christine Mangan From the Back Cover The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. After the accident at Bennington, the two friends—once inseparable roommates—haven’t poken in more than a year. But here was Lucy, trying to make things right and return to their old rhythms. Perhaps Alice should be glad for a friendly face. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat. Lucy—always fearless and independent—helps Alice to emerge from her flat and explore the country.

But soon, a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice—she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice’s husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind.

Tangerine is a sharp dagger of a book—a debut so tightly wound, so replete with exotic imagery and charm, so full of precise details and extraordinary craftsmanship, it will leave you absolutely breathless. Washington Post review

$5,000 grant request for “Ibn Sina Computer Lab - World Connect” My name is Liz Hechtman and I am currently serving as a volunteer in Peace Corps Morocco. I decided to

7 extend my service for an additional few months because I absolutely fell in love with the culture here, and wanted to execute one, final project for my community as a way to show my gratitude for all the generosity they have shown me. I am currently working on a computer lab for a middle school in Akka, Morocco. Currently, my $5,000 grant request for “Ibn Sina Computer Lab - World Connect” is not posted to the Peace Corps Partnership page because of the government shut down, but once things are operating again -- insha’allah— it will be uploaded as it has already been approved by post. In the meanwhile, I wanted to contact as many people as I can to make sure that it will get funded as soon as possible.

Computer literacy is fundamental for almost every aspect of personal growth in the 21st century. Five teachers at Ibn Sin Middle School understand this reality and have organized themselves into a working committee to create a computer lab for their school. Once the space is established, it will not only become an asset to all other classes but allow the middle school to accept a technology teacher from the Ministry of Education for the upcoming academic year. Concurrent with opening this space, the committee would like to run one after school club this year to expose students to different websites and programs most helpful to them in their classwork. These club meetings will facilitate tutorials in a range of tools from Google mail to the Microsoft Suite and address how to best protect personal accounts online through privacy settings. To date, the committee has reached out to local associations including the Parent-Teachers’ Association for Ibn Sina Middle School and a local association, Al Aagaya, for financial contributions totaling to 2000 Dhs. The school is contributing tables, chairs, a projector and Wi- Fi connection towards the project and the Parent-Teachers’ Association is committed to donating 1500 Dhs to the project. The teachers are committed to volunteering their time to weekly meetings towards creating and leading the workshops for technology club meetings. This project will give students the opportunity to stay competitive with their peers, and the additional time after school will allow students to hone these skills at their own pace.

9 US Senate Fails to Confirm David T. Fischer as Ambassador to Morocco By Safaa Kasraoui a journalist at Morocco World News. Jan 8, 2019 Rabat The US Senate have not yet confirmed the nomination of a new ambassador to Morocco nearly 2 years after the last US ambassador left Rabat. According to the US congressional record for January 4, the Senate has returned the nomination of David T. Fischer as ambassador to Morocco back to US President Donald Trump. Fischer’s was one of several nominations returned to Trump because the Senate failed to be confirmed before the Senate adjourned sine die—without setting another meeting. Trump nominated Fischer as ambassador to Morocco in November, 2017. Fischer began his confirmation hearings in the US Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee in August 2018. According to the Congressional Research Service, nominations “that are pending when the Senate adjourns sine die or recesses for more than 30 days are returned to the President unless the Senate, by unanimous consent, waives the rule requiring their return.” It remains to be seen whether Trump will choose to re-nominate Fischer or submit a new nomination.
