Our goals are to: Strengthen democratic values, Reduce poverty and injustice, Promote international cooperation and Advance human achievement. This has been our purpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are located; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit,govern- ment and business sectors, and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understanding, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison with societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals. Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Since its inception it has been an independent,nonprofit,non-govern- mental organization. It has provided more than $12 billion for grants, projects and loans. These funds derive from an investment portfolio that began with gifts and bequests of Ford Motor Company stock by Henry and Edsel Ford. The foundation no longer owns Ford Motor Company stock,and its diversified portfolio is managed to provide a perpetual source of support for the foundation’s programs and operations. The Trustees of the foundation set policy and delegate authority to the president and senior staff for the foundation’s grant making and operations. Program officers in the United States, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Russia explore opportunities to pursue the foundation’s goals, formulate strategies and recommend proposals for funding. President’s Letter In the pages that follow,readers will find basic information about the Ford Foundation—who we are (our board of trustees and our staff), what we do (our grant and loan programs), and how we manage our finances. In prior years, our annual reports also contained essays on program topics by several of the foundation’s officers. These will now appear in our hard-copy and Web-based magazine, FFR, which can be found at www.fordfound.org. A few comments on the foundation in 2002 merit special note in this introduction. David Kearns, former C.E.O. of the Xerox Corporation, retired from the board of trustees. He served with distinction from 1990 to 2002,interrupted in 1991 for two years when he became Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. David brought to the foundation wisdom gained from years of leadership in business, government and the nonprofit sector, and a passionate interest in quality education for all. Afsaneh Beschloss, C.E.O. of Carlyle Asset Management Group, was appointed a trustee this year, bringing us valuable experience in investment and international development. In 2002 we reorganized our work on Reproductive Health and Human Sexuality. We retain a strong ongoing commitment to this work, which is now located in each of our three large program groups. Work on reproductive and sexual rights, H.I.V./AIDS, and the reproductive health movement is now in our Human Rights program group. Grants concerned with building a strong knowledge base about healthy human sexual development are located in our Education,Sexuality, Religion program along with other academic research and work on the social role of religion and minority and gender studies. And our Assets program houses grant making concerned with youth development, including healthy sexuality. These shifts reflect the belief that our work in reproductive health and sexuality should be developed in a close relationship to related fields of research and practice. Finally, while the Foundation’s net assets declined from $10.5 billion in 2001 to $9.0 billion at the end of 2002,we maintained the core program budget at the 2001 level. We did so by reducing our set-aside for large,special purpose one-time grants. At the end of the year,we had paid out 6 percent of average assets,or $81.4 million above the level required by law. Some 16 percent of our grantees in 2002 were receiving Ford support for the first time, bringing us fresh ideas and new partnerships. At the same time,recognizing that partnerships with all our 2 grantees often involve multiyear strategies for change, 46 percent of our grants were for multiyear support,between 2 and 10 years. Approximately 15 percent (representing 23 percent of grant dollars) were for general support rather than project grants. We hope you find this report a helpful source of information about the foundation.

  • History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years Ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 Pages This PDF History Timeline Has Been Extracted
    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 pages This PDF History Timeline has been extracted from the History World web site's time line. The PDF is a very simplified version of the History World timeline. The PDF is stripped of all the links found on that timeline. If an entry attracts your interest and you want further detail, click on the link at the foot of each of the PDF pages and query the subject or the PDF entry on the web site, or simply do an internet search. When I saw the History World timeline I wanted a copy of it for myself and my family in a form that we could access off-line, on demand, on the device of our choice. This PDF is the result. What attracted me particularly about the History World timeline is that each event, which might be earth shattering in itself with a wealth of detail sufficient to write volumes on, and indeed many such events have had volumes written on them, is presented as a sort of pared down news head-line. Basic unadorned fact. Also, the History World timeline is multi-faceted. Most historic works focus on their own area of interest and ignore seemingly unrelated events, but this timeline offers glimpses of cross-sections of history for any given time, embracing art, politics, war, nations, religions, cultures and science, just to mention a few elements covered. The view is fascinating. Then there is always the question of what should be included and what excluded.

  • Student Life
    STUDENT LIFE HOMECOMING Homecoming is a unique tradition at the University of Rhode Island celebrated by students and alumni of all ages. On a large field people, cars, trucks, and moving vans stretch for miles. Music blares in all directions. The smell of the barbecue and the sound of beer cans cracking open fills the air. There is laughter, singing, dancing, and fun. Both students and alumni anticipate this October day for months. At the same are time there shouts in the background as friends and family cheer on the Rhody Rams as they the rival challenge Maine Bears. The game begins with the recognition of past football players and marching band members. Half-time continues this support of URI students and alumni by honoring the Homecoming King and Queen, Jeremiah Stone and Melanie Mecca. These two individuals are crowned for their outstanding campus and community involvement and their upstanding personalities. Whether celebrating at the football stadium or in the field behind it. Homecoming is a memorable event for all. Sorority sisters and fraternity brothers reunite. Old friends rebuild bonds with those they have not seen in years. Recent graduates come back with their "real world" stories and relive their college experiences. Older alumni witness the remarkable changes that have occurred at the University. Homecoming reminds us all of the days long gone, but not forgotten. It keeps the memories and experiences of the University of Rhode Island alive, in triendb and family. What is being trashed, posessions stolen, and a wad "down-the-line? of money in your pocket which was Down the line has many different generated from the collection at the door.

In order to feasibly simulate these scenarios on a global scale, we need to first determine a few prototypical cities that best represent the entire world, each exhibiting qualities that encompass the group to which it belongs. Our methodology for accomplishing this is centered around machine learning. After collecting and pruning relevant, up- to-date data, we perform dimension reduction and clustering to ultimately generate appropriate prototype cities.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

  • Sometimes Shocking but Always Hilarious
    The Sound of Hammers Must Never Cease: The Collected Short Stories of Tim Fulmer Party Crasher Press ©2009, 2010, 2014, Tim Fulmer. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Tim Fulmer. This book is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and perhaps the result of a psychotic breakdown on the reader’s part. This definitive collection of Tim Fulmer’s highly entertaining short work includes an introduction by the author and sixty-one stories that chronicle the restless lives of what have been called Gen X and Gen Y. From the psychotic disillusionment of inner city life in “Chicago, Sir" and “Mogz & Peeting” to the shocking and disturbing discoveries of suburban dysfunction in “It’s Pleonexia” and “Yankee Sierra,” Tim Fulmer tells us everything we need to know about growing up and living in North America after 1967. His characters are very scary people -- people with too much education, too much time on their hands, and too much insight ever to hold down a real job long enough to buy a house and support a family -- in short, people just like how you and I ought to be all the time. These are stories of concealed poets, enemies of the people, awful bony hands, pink pills, sharp inner pains, Jersey barriers, and exquisite corpses. The language throughout is unadorned, accurate, highly crafted, ecstatic, even grammatically desperate.
