Davina Jackson, University of Kent Bali’s Green School recently celebrated its first decade of educating toddlers through teenagers (and their digital nomad parents) about eco-ethical design and cooperative living. Set in a village near Ubud, this tropical jungle campus of quirky bamboo pavilions has become a globally influential exhibition of one of this century’s significant architectural trends. There is a major renaissance in correctly growing, cutting, treating, drying and laminating bamboo so it can be used with confidence for substantial and near-permanent structures. Much of the inspiration for this has come from Green School founders John and Cynthia Hardy and…
C. Nadine Wathen, Western University A woman or girl is killed in Canada every 2.5 days. In a recent interview with Maclean’s magazine, Maryam Monsef, Canada’s minister for women and gender equality, called the problem of gender-based violence a “four-alarm fire.” Gender-based violence happens everywhere, but certain places (like campuses, the military and RCMP) have especially high rates. And certain groups like women with disabilities and Indigenous women and girls face higher rates of violence. Economically, gender-based violence costs the Canadian economy billions per year. Gender-based violence is a “wicked social problem” that’s defined as difficult or impossible to solve…
Our Woman Crush Wednesday is none other than Nigerian musician, Tiwa Savage. The former Mavin Records first lady who recently bagged a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing lands herself on this list for her recent firm stance against the current xenophobic attacks against foreigners in South African. Calling the xenophobic actions ‘sick’, the brilliant artist took her official Twitter account to say that she would no longer be performing at a festival scheduled to hold in Johannesburg, South Africa, later this month. She tweeted, “I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK.…
My Dear Daughter, I believe you’ve heard the saying so many times, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew”. This is an important adage to add to the mantra you live by to serve as a reminder to take things easy; not to engage in tasks or relationships that you know you can’t handle. Superman and Super Woman are characters of fiction and we should avoid the temptation of thinking that we can be a Superman or Superwoman. We should always evaluate situations and events we are faced with to have better clarity on how to deal with them…
In the last five years, online video streaming, online TV and radio (a variant called podcast) have changed the way we consume contents. As a matter fact, video is now representing close to 70% of all digital media contents consumed anywhere in the world. With the ubiquitous nature of 4G and the incoming of 5G networks, online TV, radio and video streaming platforms could represent as much as 90% of digital media contents. As we plan to explore further opportunities in digital media video and contents, there are new regulatory oversights coming our way and it could go a long…
Holy Humour Poor Preacher The church council met to discuss the pastor’s compensation package for the coming year. After the meeting, the chair of council told the pastor: “We are very sorry, Pastor, but we decided that we cannot give you a raise next year.” “But you must give me a raise,” said the pastor. “I am but a poor preacher!” “l know,” the council chair said. “We hear you every Sunday.” Sunday Quote “There’s a fine line between a long, drawn-out sermon and a hostage situation.” Sunday Joke Taking a break, God is talking to one of his angels…
I Hear Voices In an episode of senile psychosis Nocturnal solo long walk barefoot I hear voices of persons most loved Conversing in loud tempo Voices loudly persistent urging to strip self-naked Unable to keep still With a mouth running like a broken faucet Uttering perpetual incoherence I hear voices Only I can hear like privy information Promoting violent outbursts Replete with biting and screaming at innocent bystanders I hear voices Overwhelmingly eroding consciousness Slipping into the abyss I cannot be found I hear voices Like a drumroll In my head loud, but clear A forceful…
