Yulia Krivich is part of a burgeoning community of artists from around the former Soviet Union that has helped turn the Polish capital into a major hub of creative talent, especially after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of her native Ukraine.Krivich, who has lived in Poland for more than a decade, now organizes exhibitions, workshops and other events at Warsaw's Museum of Modern Art with the aim of confronting what she sees as the collective trauma of Russian colonialism."We came here (to the museum) on the third day of the invasion and stayed. We like to call it the occupation of the Museum of Modern Art and the director is happy with the occupation," Krivich, 34, joked."We came here to make banners for a protest at the Russian embassy and stayed," she said.Even before Russian troops poured into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Poland had been hosting thousands of migrants from the east, including people who fled a Moscow-backed uprising in eastern Ukraine and turmoil in Belarus ...

“Adam and Eve should have been Cajuns. They would have ignored the apple and eaten the snake.” — graffiti seen in New Orleans.Players must be aware of the temptation to draw trumps — and resist it. Today’s North-South stopped at five diamonds when six would have been a good spot. (South’s third bid was ill-considered.) West led the K-A of hearts, and South ruffed and dis-resisted when he took the A-Q of trumps. When West discarded, declarer tried the A-K of clubs. East ruffed and led his last trump, and South lost two clubs to West.“Couldn’t even make four,” South shrugged.ACE OF CLUBSSouth fell from grace when he took two rounds of trumps. (He could have survived one round.)

California Grad Students Won A Historic Strike. UC San Diego Is Striking Back With Misconduct Allegations and Arrests.

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:34:36 GMT

On May 5, as Chancellor Pradeep Khosla began his opening remarks at the 44th University of California San Diego Alumni Awards at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, some 60 academic worker activists took the stage carrying a cardboard sign. They were there to present him with UC’s “Most Overpaid Worker” award; Khosla had received a $500,000 raise while, the union says, the university was simultaneously refusing to fully implement their recently ratified collective bargaining agreement. Khosla quickly left the stage amid chants of “Pradeep, Pradeep, the rent is too steep!” When the police arrived, the graduate students had relocated outdoors to the sidewalk where, separated by a glass wall, they continued chanting their demands: “What do we want? Our promised wages. When do we want them? Now!”While the action ended peacefully, just over a month later, the university charged 59 graduate student workers from the event’s registration list with “physical assault,” ...

Union hopes to give him more chances to shine in the Bundesliga.“David’s speed and his flexible offensive qualities are highly interesting for us,” Union sporting director Oliver Ruhnert said. “We want another goal-scoring player who will give our attacking game additional impetus.”Fofana is Ruhnert’s second signing in three days from English clubs following United States midfielder Brenden Aaronson’s arrival on loan from Leeds on Sunday.Union, which was promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time only in 2019, finished fourth in the league last season to clinch Cha...

Justices teach when the Supreme Court isn’t in session. It can double as an all-expenses-paid trip

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:34:36 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — For decades, the University of Hawaii law school has marketed its Jurist-In-Residence program to the Supreme Court as an all-expenses-paid getaway, with the upside of considerable “down time” in paradise. The justices have enthusiastically participated.“Your colleagues who were here most recently were Justices (Ruth Bader) Ginsburg, (Anthony) Kennedy, and (Stephen) Breyer, and I believe they all would recommend the experience highly,” the law school’s then-Dean Aviam Soifer wrote in a 2010 email trying to draw Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the school in Honolulu. “We will, of course, cover first-class airfare, excellent hotel accommodations, and all other travel expenses.”“Should we have hope of having the Justice here while the icy winds blow in Washington?” he wrote in another. In a follow-up before the justice’s 2012 visit, he included the salutation “Warm (and yet comfortable) greetings from paradise.” Teaching is encouraged as a way to demystify the n...
