Saint Leo University 40th Anniversary of Educating Those Who Serve Our NationMary Beth Erskine
In the shadow of the Vietnam conflict, when few education options were available to members of the armed forces, military leaders presented Saint Leo College with an opportunity. Bring college courses and degree programs to highly mobile service men and women challenged to complete their education while on active duty.
It was a request that gave Saint Leo a new way to fulfill its mission by serving the educational needs of those who serve our nation.
The college’s response was an educational experiment that started with 176 students at the Avon Park Bombing Range and 13 at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
Since then, thousands of students from all branches of military service, veterans, and their families have earned degrees at Saint Leo.
More than 5,000 men and women of the armed forces are enrolled in Saint Leo degree programs. The university operates 17 education centers on military bases in seven states and serves military students worldwide through the Center for Online Learning.
Saint Leo is known today as one of America’s largest and most committed providers of higher education to the U.S. military.
Beginning on Veterans Day in 2012 and concluding on Veterans Day 2013, Saint Leo University marked this milestone with a year-long celebration of its proud educational partnership with the military.
From a military speaker series, to monthly screenings of military films, the anniversary year included special programs and events at University Campus and centers nationwide.
CUNY Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Conference 2013 Frans Albarillo
In a time when many students begin their research by Googling and turning to Wikipedia, valuable, authoritative content is often overlooked. Archival material is difficult to identify, find, and search on the Internet because only a small portion of this material has been digitized or have finding aids.
CUNY libraries subscribe to hundreds of research databases that give full-text access to peer-reviewed scholarly articles and full-length academic books. Moreover, the libraries have built unique collections of original documents that support historical and other kinds of research. These collections provide especially rich resources for students and faculty who are interested in researching topics on diversity and multiculturalism. In addition to peer-reviewed journals, libraries in CUNY provide access to a wide variety of resources such as archival material and specialized library databases. The library faculty and staff who develop these collections are experts at identifying hard to find resources that might otherwise go undetected.
The main purpose of this presentation will be to convey the depth and the richness of diversity-related special collections in CUNY schools, which faculty, students and staff may not be aware exists. This presentation celebrates the same values as the newly approved Association of College and Research Libraries Diversity Standards, which provides diversity guidelines for academic libraries. In particular this presentation is concerned with Standard 4, which states:
Librarians and library staff shall develop collections and provide programs and services that are inclusive of the needs of all persons in the community the library serves. (ACRL 2012 http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/diversity)
CUNY’s libraries live up to this standard by providing a wide array of resources that support student and faculty research in topics that involve diversity, gender, cultural, LGBT, and multilingual issues.
In the first half of this 45-minute presentation, Professor Albarillo will give a short overview of general services that library special collections provide, focusing on the types of materials these departments collect, and the unique opportunities they provide for students to become familiar with and to use primary resources for class projects. Professor Albarillo will focus on archives and special collections that are part of CUNY and will identify papers and archival material of diverse individuals and organizations available in library special collections throughout the system.

Thawra_Lubnan (The Lebanese revolution)
By May Haddad
Dedicated to my friends, 5 November 2019
Just a day after the massive fires outburst in over 200 forests and places in Lebanon, the Thawra started…
It is unbelievable, hundred thousands people marching and protesting on a daily basis since 17 October till today all over the country including unexpected villages and towns that have risen up demanding that every one in the government steps down and ending the era of corruption. “All means All” has unified all the people.
As a witness to the happenings, here are few word-press posts that can be of interest to my friends and acquaintances. The posts are (for links kindly click on title):
The Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University was created in 1990, formally recognizing fifty years of informal cooperation between the two universities. The geographic proximity of the campuses—just nine miles apart—greatly encourages and facilitates regular collaboration among faculty and students. The UNC and Duke Consortium has received major funding from the Andrew W. Mellon, Ford, and Tinker Foundations. Since 1991 it has been designated a Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) by the U.S. Department of Education.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
