    HEROES AND HOPE 2021 KWAME SIMMONS Founder The Simmons Advantage A 2015 BET Honors Award recipient and an invited guest to the White House during the Obama administration, Kwame Simmons is a change agent for inner-city schools. With a twenty-year stellar career in education, he has worked tirelessly for students in the nation’s capital and the St. Louis school system. Now, Simmons has brought his knowledge to his hometown to assist with improving the Detroit schools as a consultant. Simmons uses untapped data on how minority students learn to help them succeed in revolutionary ways. “What I’ve tried to do is provide schools with the tools they need to succeed, offering new perspectives to identify their specific challenges.” This year Simmons plans to equip special education students with tools to gain tech jobs and introduce students to coding and gaming as viable career options. JANUARY 2021 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY NEW YEAR’S DAY MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF EDUCATION TRESA GALLOWAY CEO Love Laces As an educator and mother, Tresa Galloway has seen first-hand what happens when children are labeled as having ‘special needs’. When her son was bullied, Galloway prayed for the tools to allow him to handle the bully on his own. That’s when Love Laces was born. Love Laces is a shoelace brand that prints positive affirmations on colorful laces for victims of bullying and low self-esteem. Once labeled as too emotional, Galloway has channeled those emotions to help others. She says, “When you’re faced with fear, you have to come up with strategies on overcoming those fears.” Thanks to her, when a child looks down, they have a reason to look up and know they are loved.

The fishing port is the largest in Indonesia, home to more than 1,200 industrial-scale fishing vessels. Indonesia is the second largest marine fisheries producer in the world, and there is not enough port space to accommodate the country’s fishing boats. URI is involved in numerous projects and partnerships with Indonesia, most of which relate to fisheries, marine affairs, and sustainable development. Sutyawan explains that this photo depicts the strength of the country’s fishing fleet, while also illustrating the problem of increasing global exploitation of fisheries resources. This spring, Sutyawan will defend his dissertation, which focuses on marine fisheries governance in Indonesia.

  • A God Why Is Hermes Hungry?1
    CHAPTER FOUR A GOD WHY IS HERMES HUNGRY?1 Ἀλλὰ ξύνοικον, πρὸς θεῶν, δέξασθέ με. (But by the gods, accept me as house-mate) Ar. Plut 1147 1. Hungry Hermes and Greedy Interpreters In the evening of the first day of his life baby Hermes felt hungry, or, more precisely, as the Homeric Hymn to Hermes in which the god’s earliest exploits are recorded, says, “he was hankering after flesh” (κρειῶν ἐρατίζων, 64). This expression reveals only the first of a long series of riddles that will haunt the interpreter on his slippery journey through the hymn. After all, craving for flesh carries overtly negative connotations.2 In the Homeric idiom, for instance, the expression is exclusively used as a predicate of unpleasant lions.3 Nor does it 1 This chapter had been completed and was in the course of preparation for the press when I first set eyes on the important and innovative study of theHymn to Hermes by D. Jaillard, Configurations d’Hermès. Une “théogonie hermaïque”(Kernos Suppl. 17, Liège 2007). Despite many points of agreement, both the objectives and the results of my study widely diverge from those of Jaillard. The basic difference between our views on the sacrificial scene in the Hymn (which regards only a section of my present chapter on Hermes) is that in the view of Jaillard Hermes is a god “who sac- rifices as a god” (“un dieu qui sacrifie en tant que dieu,” p. 161; “Le dieu n’est donc, à aucun moment de l’Hymne, réellement assimilable à un sacrificateur humain,” p.

    VOICES IN THE HALL: BUDDY AND JULIE MILLER EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. My guests today are two remarkable musicians… Buddy and Julie Miller. BUDDY MILLER We only moved here for economics. Just to maybe we could talk ourselves into a house because musicians are almost people in Nashville. In L.A., anywhere else we were living it's like no way a musician’s going to end up with a house. We were broke and just seemed like we were going to be. So we moved here. JULIE MILLER We were kind of fine with being broke. BUDDY MILLER Yeah. We were always fine with being broke. But we got here and we found out this is a great city with so many, there's so much going on here musically,. JULIE MILLER More and more. BUDDY MILLER Yeah. And we just fell in with like-minded music friends. JULIE MILLER Buddy would go to sleep at a reasonable hour, and I would stay up all night ‘til the sun would come up. Once I got done with this song that night, smiled and I said, “Buddy, I’ve got you a song.” PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall with Buddy and Julie Miller. “Breakdown on 20th Avenue South” Buddy & Julie Miller (Title Track / New West) PETER COOPER “Breakdown on 20th Avenue South.” Now, 20th Avenue South is a lovely residential street, located within walking distance — if you’re up for walking — of a pretty good grocery store and Brown’s Diner, where many of Nashville’s finest songwriters go to hang out and talk about most anything but songwriting.

  • The Tanker War, 1880-88
    Chapter II 1 THE TANKER WAR, 1980-88 ith Iran's willingness,2 as of late 1988 and early 1989, to negotiate a W ceasefire on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 598,3 an initial conclusion might be that the end of hostilities in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war also ended US and European security interests in the Persian Gulf. France withdrew the aircraft carrier Clemenceau and other naval units in September 1988. The United States adopted a more wait-and-see attitude but also began to reduce its na­ val commitment by stopping convoying while remaining in the Gulf to provide a "zone defense.,,4 Kuwaiti tankers' "deflagging" began in early 1989,5 and in March 1990 the last US Navy minesweepers were brought horne. "[R]eturn ofthe wooden ships was in response to a reduced mine threat and will not affect continuing ... op­ erations by US naval vessels aimed at maintaining freedom of navigation and the free flow of oil through the Persian Gulf," a press release said in May 1990.6 Despite these encouraging trends, that war's end did not terminate security in­ terests in the Gulf, particularly for the United States, Western Europe and Japan. The war was but a warmer chapter in the struggle of national security interests for control or influence in Southwest Asia and petroleum, that region's vital resource. The Gulf area has a very large proportion of world oil reserves, about 54-60 per­ cent? Two years later, the 1990-91 Gulf War between Iraq and the Coalition again demonstrated the relationship between oil and national security interests.8 This Chapter begins with an historical overview, followed by analysis of great-power involvement, particularly that of the United States, in the Iran-Iraq war at policy and strategic levels.
