Anonymous: The National Defense Authorization Act needs to be stopped. It declares war on the American people.

The National Defense Authorization Act passed a few nights ago. With it, the United States government declares war on the American people. It is the end of free speech, the end of due process. The end of the right to remain silent. It gives the US government the power to indefinitely detain,…

Why This Is Important

WE ARE THE 99% at UMass Boston who have seen our fees rise 8% year after year with no end inorder to carry out the 1%’s “Master Plan” for our school. We are the 99% who have had our pay frozen by the administration. We are the 99% who are going to graduate from the only public four-year school in this city with $25,000 in student debt and little prospects. We are the 99% who are tired of watching the privatization of this university. We are the 99% who don’t want our university run by the unelected bureaucrats known as the Board of Trustees. We are tired of the Board of Trustees investing our fees in hidden funds and trusts with no interest in insuring that they do not financially support war profiteers.

We have liberated this space in the campus center from the corporate administrators who control this university. We will no longer recognize their illegitimate authority; we will take the entire university back from the 1% so the 99% can have their university. Non-violent direct action and people power is our weapon against the 1% and it’s plans to corporatize the university.For far too long the 99% have been excluded from the global conversation about the direction of our schools, our neighborhoods, and our world. We are in solidarity with Occupy Wall St., Occupy Boston,Occupy UC Davis, Occupy Berkeley, and all other Occupy movements. We are in solidarity with the student revolt in Chile and those at hundreds of other universities who are holding down a space for the 99% in the conversation about our future. We hope our revolt can bring the 1%’s plan of privatization to a halt. We want the voices of every member of 99% to be heard in creating the 99%’s strategic plan for the university.

Volumetric flasks. I stumbled upon this picture, and looking at Tin Eye I’ve seen that appears as cover of books, in stupid sites, and in many more places. Well, what I can say is that I like this photo, so here it is.

Xedasta told me that this kind of volumetric flasks are named Erlenmeyer flasks. Thanks so much.

Now that I think about it, I figure that kid’s poem probably isn’t canon.

The book Medical Innovations in Humanitarian Situations explores how the particular style of humanitarian action practiced by MSF has stayed in line with the standards in scientifically advanced countries while also leading to significant improvements in the medical care delivered to people in crisis.

Through a series of case studies, the authors reflect on how medical aid workers dealt with the incongruity of practicing conventional evidence-based medicine in contexts that require unconventional approaches.

You can purchase the book on Amazon for about $6, download a PDF of it for free, or read it online.
