Carey Distinguished Chair in Business Ohad Kadan interviews Lawrence H during the business school's REImagine Real Estate event celebrating the new W And with over 14% of the state's gross domestic product attributed to the real estate market it's a crucial industry for the state and one that Arizona State University is increasingly equipped to support On April 10, W. P. Carey alumni, students, faculty and industry members gathered for the business school's REImagine Real Estate Conference to celebrate the new W. P. Carey Center for Real Estate and Finance The event included presentations about the center's mission to become a leading authority for real estate education, the business school's new Bachelor of Science in real estate and applied finance and conversations with industry experts on national and local real estate trends Last fall, the W. P. Carey Foundation's $25 million commitment to ASU elevated the center through naming and expansion and introduced an experiential learning lab devoted to real estate The gift pushed the foundation's total giving to W Carey over $100 million and will provide a physical space for the lab support the launch of the school's innovative undergraduate degree and establish a named faculty position — the W Carey Distinguished Chair in Real Estate and Finance Charles J. Robel Dean Ohad Kadan shared W Carey's vision for the center and its goal to become the best real estate program in the nation Carey's three strengths: educating students producing knowledge and creating research best practices The center will be a bridge between these spaces and related industries while providing experiential learning opportunities to tomorrow's industry leaders "There is so much you can teach in the classroom … but unless we bring you into our classrooms we have not really prepared students for their careers," said Kadan will do exactly that: bring you into our classrooms in different ways." The event began with a fireside chat between Kadan and Lawrence H. Summers on the state of the nation's real estate industry Summers commented on how recent tariffs will impact U.S real estate and how the Valley's data centers could lead to substantial growth in Arizona He predicted a 60% chance that the nation will enter a recession by the end of 2025 Following Summers and Kadan's discussion, W. P. Carey Foundation Chairman and President William P. Carey II expressed his excitement for the bachelor's degree in real estate and applied finance which will provide students with the skills to tackle industry trends and challenges "When I look at what we're about to do … I'm excited about the future of our industry We're going to be creating the leaders of tomorrow," Carey said Building on Carey's remarks, Mark Stapp Taylor Endowed Professor and director of the Master of Real Estate Development program and Experiential Learning Lab presented the school's strategic plan for preparing those leaders with the help of experiential learning "There are opportunities for us to leverage technology and relationships in a way that we can teach like no other program teaches," said Stapp The Experiential Learning Lab is designed to utilize those resources while developing partnerships tools and opportunities for faculty to prepare students to enter the field addresses the audience at the April 10 REImagine Real Estate event to celebrate the new W Carey Center for Real Estate and Finance.  director of the Master of Real Estate Development program and Experiential Learning Lab presented the school's strategic plan for preparing students to enter the real estate industry with the help of experiential learning.  Panelists Alex Boles ('18 MRED), managing director of ViaWest Group, and Jeff Hedges ('04 BS in finance) ASU Football Coach Kenny Dillingham discusses leadership and building community culture Kimberly Winson, clinical professor of finance, shared an overview of the real estate undergraduate degree.

Communications, 4044451842, [email protected], www.MichaelMackenzie.com Do not sell or share my personal information: Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan and celebrated curator Hans Ulrich Obrist meet again this time on the eve of Art Basel Miami and Kadan’s solo show at Voloshyn Gallery in Miami Their dialogue delves deeply into the evolving meaning of creating art during a full-scale war and art as a profound state of openness to the pain of the world NK: It will be a work with prosthetic limbs I visited a clinic that offered a prosthesis workshop and a rehabilitation center for soldiers where prosthetic limbs will act as puppets and tell stories And there will be separate kinetic sculptures with prosthesis acting independently I am starting to work with a psychologist from the rehabilitation center who will be involved in all the sensitive aspects of this process I’m also working on a public sculpture in Japan on Oshima Island for next April This sculpture is dedicated to people with Hansen disease (also known as “leprosy” — ed.) who were forcefully isolated on the island for many decades we will open a show with Voloshyn Gallery in Miami which is basically a depiction of a sunset but it’s an apocalyptic image because the sun rises from burnt soil which you said is very much about darkness historical darkness that comes after victory over the sun concerning Miami’s show and this work acquired by the museum You continued the series of drawings we discussed the last time It was at my solo show in New York with François Ghebaly Gallery following the well-known theatrical play by Aleksei Kruchonykh and Velimir Khlebnikov where Kazymyr Malevych was the stage designer It’s one of the most important works of the international avant-garde a central piece of so-called “Russian avant-garde,” but co-created by Ukraine-related authors I was interested in the eschatological visions of this piece the presence of what I call eschatological optimism I wanted to do something mirroring the intentions of avant-garde but transforming them into the opposite like looking at the historical pre-revolutionary avant-garde from the point of view of today’s Ukraine where devastation and loss of life are constantly happening It’s a place where you hear an air raid alarm literally every day Where missiles and drones hit nearby buildings And you feel the fragility of all this material we are made of but there is also an irrational hope arising from it The image of the plowed field from this drawing with the sun is something I started to develop at the very beginning of the full-scale invasion with the Shadow on the Ground series but also about human bodies that turn into soil What has changed now is that I am becoming more and more interested in non-human bodies and a non-human perspective during the war Each war is also a human war against non-humans And I’m thinking about things such as all the plants that were burned during this war or all the insects that were killed HUO: Gustav Metzger said war leads to extinction those who have names live a historical life I’m reminded of the motive of Adam giving names to all living creatures I see all these state-myth-writing structures all these historical museums turned into ideological centers which must give names — and I see plenty of nameless lives disappearing Maybe it’s close to Judith Butler’s distinction of grievable and ungrievable It’s hardly possible to mourn the nameless ones But maybe these names that are given to us these identities that are not our own invention do not represent our reality and do not represent the reality of dying here It’s like how we are described in international media it’s like a list of the roles in a theater most of which do not actually represent us And then I try to look at these things from a ground perspective a “soil perspective” — looking at things as if I’m not standing on my feet but lying on the ground HUO: Yes, and he talked about how artists have a special part to play in opposing extinction. I wrote the book on Gustav Metzger with the interviews NK: I have sent you my recent book called Poetics of Witnessing it wasn’t published when we talked last time I call these works “evidence sculptures.”  And is this about an exhibition you did in Belgium NK: The book was published in Belgium during the residence in Ypres in 2023 at the In Flanders Fields Museum HUO: And it includes an interview with Bart de Baere You talk about how your involvement in this war affected your activities and about selling a large drawing to support the purchase of a paramedic vehicle You say that these types of actions are important and it’s important to use visibility for good causes but this is a kind of constant war-time activity It’s a thing that most Ukrainian artists do like selling their works and turning them into donations for the frontline There are structures like Solidarity Collectives, an alliance of leftist and anti-authoritarians serving in the Ukrainian army. Or the Livy Bereh (“The Left Bank”) activist initiative, which rebuilds private houses in rural areas devastated by war. Or the brilliant artist Margaryta Polovynko who serves in the medical service and helps evacuate injured soldiers Artists I know are constantly collecting money for them and for many others It’s a little contribution to the common struggle And there are always those who do much more like the artists who postponed their entire practice to save human lives I always understand that it’s not enough But it’s just part of this routine of making art during the war you keep in mind the art process happening in other countries You stay in dialogue with people who live in totally different realities And you shouldn’t act like you are unique you can’t ignore the gravitational pull “Your internal demands as a human being also come with a sense of urgency as well as the external attacks you’re facing war interferes with your capacity for reflection The war compromises the space required for contemplation and the necessary distance Because when war reaches a state of totality We haven’t truly witnessed the full extent of war It’s more like a mixture of war and a normal the level of war’s presence has significantly increased.” NK: I’ll try to give form to this very unstable thought I feel like art tries to make war into history Artists can narrate an ongoing war as if it were a fact of the past It’s like trying to push the war back into the past art aims to liberate the current time from war through this imaginable historicization of war You can’t start with “ruins” because they are a cultural phenomenon You deal with what is already destroyed but not yet mourned You deal with this burnt material of here-and-now At least you claim all the lost lives as something valuable we return to the importance of non-human lives Imagine a monument to all of the insects killed during the war Perhaps it contains some paradoxes that will help our understanding HUO: And that leads us to your solo show at the Voloshyn Gallery called The Radial Bone this exhibition has an image of a sharp and shiny ray which violently pierces the body and then penetrates the sun And it also penetrates the whole environment That connects to what we said about Gustav Metzger But it’s also about destructive human desire and about extraction and consumption what you said at the outset of our conversation today that you’re interested in working more on the war against non-human species Can you talk about the show at Voloshyn Gallery in Miami and particularly where this image comes from there will be a sculpture in the center of this show A sharp metal ‘ray’ is a very aggressive image a visualization of the firm and aggressive human subjectivity that penetrates the world and permanently attacks non-human lives — the whole culture of aggression and dominance understanding themselves as the sun of the universe HUO: It grows from a previous exhibition in Kyiv I have a translation here from the Ukrainian original which was in March at the Voloshyn Gallery and that exhibition was called The Ray Penetrates the Soil it’s about colonial violence and the struggle for freedom and the future the Miami exhibition follows the Kyiv exhibition Can you talk about the previous exhibition in March there were many charcoal drawings there which depicted the land with craters from explosions and trenches which you say were reminiscent of Soviet playground structures with sharp edges And that was a response to a shelling of Kyiv that took place in October 2022 where rockets exploded on a children’s playground in immediate proximity to the Voloshyn Gallery there was a missile strike at Shevchenko Park in front of the gallery at the playground where I used to walk with my daughter for several years Maybe this was a starting point for working on this exhibition There were several images of penetrated soil like mass graves dug in the forest and the trenches at the battlefields — wounds on the earth’s surface made by humans I understand that such images are brutally simple — a wartime simplicity there were two little paintings with images of frozen soldiers They were based on World War II German photographs of frozen Soviet soldiers in the trenches Young men are hugged by the soil as if they are sleeping The rays of these sculptures at both shows are aggressively perfect I am aware that it’s like a romantic national stereotype is an image that has haunted Ukraine for centuries Ukraine is for soil; Ukraine is for fertility And I understand that I am re-actualizing this romantic stereotype but I am trying to address the soil as a subject Ukraine is a historical place of peasant uprisings and that is something that enters here as well It’s not only connected to the extreme present in the sense of the current war but it’s also connected to previous moments in history because they appear throughout Ukraine’s history have to do with the populist resistance to oppression and foreign domination which really was a Cossack revolt against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth’s rule That started a broader uprising of peasants driven by societal inequality and religious discrimination the 1768 Koliivshchyna rebellion was in the right bank of Ukraine part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth It was also fueled by dissatisfaction with the treatment of Orthodox Christians and hostility towards the local colonized nobility Then there was the Makhnovshchina uprising it was an anarchist movement in southern Ukraine where an army composed mainly of peasants fought against the White Army there was the Hryhoriv uprising in May of 1919 an armed protest targeting the Bolshevik role in Ukraine And that was quite active in several districts mobilizing guerrilla troops of peasants’ rebellion against the food requisitions by the Cheka it’s about a persistent struggle of Ukrainians against external control and against internal exploitation And I wanted to ask you how you connect the current moment to these multiple uprisings in history NK: I’m trying to look at these uprisings not only from a nation-state perspective but also from the perspective of the experience of the territory You know plenty of Ukrainians moved out of the country Plenty of people left the territories occupied by Russia Many Ukrainians started these uprisings in the past because they felt that they had no other chances They were strongly connected with this place where they faced oppression Peasant uprisings often concluded with the terrible massacre of those who started them The people who reworked their agricultural tools and scythes into weapons knew they had very little chance against the Polish or Russian armies They took this responsibility; they made this choice And it relates to dignity as a political category One of the recent Ukrainian civic protests was called the Revolution of Dignity It is a fight not only for pragmatic interests but for the agency related to your right to stay where you were born and live there in freedom And it’s good that you mentioned the Makhno anarchist movement These historical uprisings had different political backgrounds but something in common related to the self-organization of people who had the shared experience of the territory and who lived together for centuries or structures like a formal army or anything they could organize themselves and somehow maintain this structurally anarchist way of acting I can hardly imagine Ukraine as a highly centralized please talk a bit more about the work at the exhibition in Miami because you mentioned that in the Kyiv exhibition NK: There will be sculptures with the same sharp rays and agricultural tools One man sold me many shovels and other tools from the mid-20th century And I combined them with these new polished and sharp elements They will hang in the space in the middle of the gallery And there will be several new huge charcoal drawings with explosion craters which at the same time are like aureola for the geometric masks of the animals The wounded soil looks at us not through some symbolic human mask It looks at us through the eyes of an animal And there will be several smaller and bigger paintings with the motifs of suffering animals One of the motifs behind the work is the flooding in the Kherson region in southern Ukraine after the Russians blew up the Kakhovka Dam There will be a painting with a fragment of the Ukrainian Soviet coat of arms There you see those spikes of wheat surrounding the hammer and the sickle but the hammer and sickle are absent on the painting there will be no symbol which the wheat will surround There is mostly non-human imagery in these paintings I always try to find a “face,” some personification for historical processes This war is represented through the non-human experience anthropocentric position is not so important anymore From Nikita Kadan’s solo show The Radial Bone more and more warfare occurs through technology I wrote some years ago about Sabine Moritz’s painting the German painter who used historical images in her paintings from Ukraine which was also connected to the countryside and agricultural context when you address agriculture and these agricultural objects Holodomor means inflicting death by hunger This was a catastrophic famine that happened in Ukraine between 1932 and 1933 I think it was somewhere between 4 and 5 million people who died It resulted from Stalin’s Soviet policies which were very much connected to agriculture It was the aggressive push towards collectivization of agriculture where horrendous grain quotas were imposed on the farmers from Ukraine Ukrainians were treated like natural-born farmers too close to the soil and cannot really make decisions for themselves because their position is too low and their horizon is not broad enough It’s something that influenced Ukrainian culture which was formed very much under the pressure of the Russian Empire But Stalinist Holdomor was something different because it was related to the post-revolutionary struggle of Stalinist dictatorship against peasantry as a political class not only as a huge part of the Ukrainian nation but also as people who recently were claimed to be a “revolutionary class” alongside the workers Many peasants had an experience of militant self-organization like in the above-mentioned Makhno movement and a number of early 20th century uprisings and resistance movements they learned how to hold weapons in their arms and how to understand their rights and interests And it’s a perspective that is not that popular in current Ukrainian historiography: to look at Holodomor not only from the national but also the class perspective like a struggle of the Stalinist regime against the peasantry and its political interests collective punishment of peasants for being too subjective in post-revolutionary years kind-hearted dehumanization of Ukrainians during the Russian Empire and deprivation of Ukrainian peasants of their political subjectivity under Stalinism could help us to imagine ourselves on a different non-human-centric side of the world struggle Maybe it could be some solidarity with non-humans based on a different political imagination HUO: That’s an incredible conclusion for our second interview I have one last question: The last time we spoke about this idea of art making the invisible visible which we also refer to in relation to the war something Paul Klee said in the 20th century he had a different definition; he said art is the highest form of hope I was wondering what it is for you and how you would define what art is NK: Art is about being sensitive to the pain which is in the heart of this world we should learn from those who have an experience of being dehumanized and learn what it is to not only be a human being Art is about sensitivity to the pain of others Not just “looking at the pain of others” as in the title of Susan Sontag’s books Maybe there is hope of taking a step outside of human selfishness but here is what I can say: it is a form of openness to the pain of the world Write to editors@artslooker.com if you find errors notice copyright infringement or want to submit materials for publication Boonsboro senior Kadan Jones and junior Piper Meredith swept the boys and girls individual titles Thursday in the Central Maryland Conference golf tournament at Black Rock Jones opened his round with two birdies and shot even par on the front nine He made a long putt for eagle on the par-5 14th and finished with a 1-under 71 the best round of the day by three strokes but I finally put one down the middle (on 14) then hit a 6-iron to the green," said Jones "The putt was a double-breaker and I sunk it but I was just trying to get it close for a birdie." Jones, who will defend his Washington County title on Sept said he didn't play his best even while finishing under par There was a lot that was off today," he said I knew I was still in it and I needed to focus and finish well."

Most people used the Bitcoin to buy goods or exchanged it for dollars El Salvador will no longer make putting Bitcoin into the hands of the people a priority El Salvador continues to build a Bitcoin Reserve it appears that experiment has had to be exterminated The Salvadoran government made Bitcoin legal tender so that everyday citizens could enjoy the cryptocurrency’s benefits They could experience holding a sound asset in their hands They could start to understand the ills that central banks cast upon society It has intended to diminish the chances that people discover how sound assets can change the lives of people with low incomes and the disenfranchised Recent: El Salvador buys another 12 Bitcoin for country’s reserve despite IMF deal “For the public sector, engagement in bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined,” the IMF stated and supervision of digital assets will be enhanced to safeguard financial stability When El Salvador made Bitcoin a legal tender in September 2021 the IMF warned of financial and legal risks It’s nothing new for the IMF to keep the tools of financial liberation out of the hands of the people Its dominion over under-resourced countries is a through-line of the post-World War II world In 2024, the IMF’s colonial practices were met with mass protests in Kenya, which shed light on the predatory nature of the IMF The protest called on President William Ruto to strike down an IMF-led bill for austerity and regressive taxes in the nations It’s merely another case of the long arm of US colonial power prioritized at the expense of people experiencing poverty in underdeveloped countries. In Kenya and many other nations, the IMF continues pushing austerity measures, often freezing public sector bills While people in Africa this year stood up to IMF colonization and power over debt functioning as an arm of the UN to homogenize economic policies worldwide intends to maintain fiat currency dominance but the IMF’s development help must be contingent on nation-states abandoning any notions of Bitcoin as legal tender This article is for general information purposes and is not intended to be and should not be taken as legal or investment advice and opinions expressed here are the author’s alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph a black spot appeared in Sophie Kadan’s sight Kadan estimates that she has only about 70% of the vision in her left eye The transition between high school and college is huge for everyone It was another year before Kadan, a fourth-year student from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, majoring in math and physics, asked for academic accommodations. She was taking a course in American Sign Language (ASL) which Kadan hadn’t realized how much she relied on her other senses until she was staring at a screen in a roomful of other people doing the same for a timed test Kadan became one of hundreds of Penn students who approach the Weingarten Center’s Disability Services each year. Weingarten follows guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and recognizes a range of disabilities including temporary short-term injuries like a student needing transit or time off because of a broken limb; neurodivergence and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); chronic medical conditions like diabetes; and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression Students come to Weingarten seeking counseling or learning support or by requesting accommodations. Sometimes, they need all three. “There’s no wrong door of entering the Weingarten experience,” says Jane Holahan Many students come in knowing their accommodation needs and have documentation from their high schools Many others come in because they’ve recently discovered they need help people hit that brick wall when they go to college,” she says About 20% of all Penn students identify as having a disability, Holahan says. These numbers are on par with the national average which according to the Institute of Education Sciences was 21% for undergraduates for the 2019-20 academic year the number of students registered with disability services has almost tripled there were 1,622 students registered with disability services through Weingarten in the 2023 academic year and 1,455 students registered in the 2019 academic year compared with 570 registered students in the 2003 academic year says she started seeing an increase in requests for accommodations around 2010 She attributes this nationwide trend to an increase in awareness there were people who were afraid to self-disclose they had a disability,” says Holahan “A lot of people did not know their rights There’s less of a stigma in coming forward to ask for accommodations.” Holahan attributes the decrease in stigma to the 2008 amendment of the Americans with Disabilities Act which broadened the scope of “disability” beyond such named conditions as cancer and epilepsy to make it easier for people seeking ADA protection to establish their disabilities.Increased awareness and education efforts by Weingarten and other disability-service centers and disability advocates she says are “another reason why people are coming forward.” Kadan says that her vision loss was the first indication that she had multiple sclerosis It’s a relatively straightforward diagnosis and one recognized by the ADA Kadan was anxious about approaching Weingarten Kadan was able to test in a different room and use software provided by Weingarten to transcribe some of her textbooks which she says was especially helpful in math because of the notations Kadan also received authorization to use a notetaker to assist with her ASL coursework “What is a disability and what is normal?” Kadan asks People have different relationships with disability and identity “normal” should be providing the best learning experience the group connects over GroupMe and social media Originally, the Disabled Coalition was a social club, Brokaw says, but it quickly shifted into advocacy to meet student needs. The group meets regularly with Penn Transit to discuss accommodations requested by members and has done a physical accessibility audit of Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center with University officials and Libraries staff The Disabled Coalition’s recommendations included lowering desks and making the ground floor entrance more accessible to students Brokaw primarily pursues accommodations with their lab manager often seeking to modify seating or lab chores but if there are any issues “the onus is on the student to do the advocacy and problem solving,” they say Brokaw is familiar with disability services having been diagnosed with dyslexia early on in their academic career But right before starting their graduate program This means that in addition to learning differences Brokaw has physical symptoms They use a walking aid and experience chronic fatigue and pain The medication they take makes them immunocompromised Brokaw is one of DisCo’s primary advocates a service they undertake on top of their academic work and managing a chronic illness They’re also starting to think about life after graduation “People have expressed concern about me being too out about having a disability because it might affect my prospects in the future,” Brokaw says I think having a clear understanding of what a job will be like and how their identity fits within the job is really important.” Brokaw and Gilbert are also interested in developing a disability advocacy network, similar to the LGBT Center’s “Faculty Out List,” a way for faculty to identify themselves so that students can connect with them and hear about experiences in the field Brokaw acknowledges that the logistics of developing such a list are complicated “There’s also generational differences in how willing people are to be out given the level of discrimination they might have felt at various points,” they say ‘How is my identity interfacing with my classroom?’” Advocates for Neurodiversity events are often in a hybrid format, in person and online, to facilitate participation, says Ellie McKeown of Philadelphia, who served as club co-president before graduating last spring with a triple major in English, biology, and gender, sexuality, and women’s studies where members can work silently alongside another person “We try to make it as neurodivergent-centric as possible,” they say McKeown suggests that neurodivergent students reflect on the facets of university life they find difficult in order to find the best support McKeown put together guidelines to help professors better communicate with autistic students “The wonderful thing about disability accommodations is that most of them help everyone,” says McKeown Nancy Hirschmann, the Geraldine R. Segal Professor in American Social Thought in the Department of Political Science as well as other disabilities she does not usually disclose disability can be an obstacle—something to overcome—but is not a substantive part of her sense of self “It’s very different when you’re diagnosed as a child than when you’re diagnosed later in life,” Hirschmann says “It is not so much a part of your identity per se but rather something that you have to incorporate into how you live.” “Disability is important to study in political science and all disciplines,” she says Hirschmann views disability as comparable to gender in this regard: an important but understudied research topic across the arts and sciences She’s also written has written about disability rights and citizenship While having disabilities may offer Hirschmann professional insight “The need to produce means you need more time,” she says “People who can work faster or have fewer demands on their time can produce more there’s no escaping the reality of publishing And it’s what we love to do,” Hirschmann says “I feel frustrated when I don’t have the time to do the things that I want to do because I’m dealing with this other stuff.” where they will bring in visiting artists for lectures and mentorship Eskenazi uses a wheelchair and is chronically ill Electronic wheelchairs cost as much as $2,000 and insurance companies commonly only cover wheelchairs suitable for in-home use “It implies that disabled people are bed-bound and don’t have access to or don’t deserve to have an active It also changes the public perception of disability “When one doesn’t have access to witnessing there’s this lack of imagination to seeing the richness of disabled people’s lives,” says Eskenazi “physical disabilities are recognized in a very particular way,” noting that it can be harder for the general public to see and recognize invisible disabilities like chronic illness or neurodivergence a term that recognizes the diversity in human brain function pertaining to sensory processing Holahan’s vision is to eventually create a position for a neurodiversity specialist who can help students with personal skill-building as well as a disability cultural center to celebrate identity and host programming “Celebrating identity and educating our community is so important,” Holahan says “That’s where a Disability Cultural Center could be really invaluable.” the ambitious Dakar Greenbelt project seeks to create an extensive network of ecological infrastructure in and around the city to sustainably

Raiola Buford was driving to extend their lead to double-digits before Spratling made the play that sparked 16 unanswered points “Each week we try to go 1-0 and focus on the next team Buford was the next team in our way to reach our goal and everyone did their job which allowed me the opportunity to go and make key plays,” said Spratling “Our team goal every season is to win the state championship When you are surrounded by great people like my teammates and coaches The Yellow Jackets offered Spratling on January 8th but have been keeping tabs on him throughout his junior season Georgia Tech is the first program to extend an offer to Spratling “Georgia Tech came to multiple games this season They watched my film and evaluated me throughout the season,” said Spratling I would love to be able to use my explosiveness They are a competitive program that offers the opportunity to play against a lot of great teams They have a very aggressive and physical defense that I love As well as being able to earn a great education.”  His plan is to make it out to the Flats sometime in the spring as the recruiting cycle for the 2026 class begins to heat up I would love to be able to make it out to Georgia Tech,” said Spratling the interest in the Yellow Jackets is strong and will be one to continue to monitor Things are just getting started for Spratling as more colleges will be after him to land his services The Yellow Jackets were wise sending him his first ever offer and surely will continue to recruit the linebacker/edge hard In terms of what he is working on most this offseason and his goals for next season here is what he had to say “I am going to continue to work on my skills I would love to be able to LB at the next level I could contribute to a team at another

P. Carey School of Business 2025 Executive of the Year "Our people-first philosophy is not just a couple of words on a page — it's truly what I believe." Under Fish's leadership, WM has emerged as a leader in sustainability, becoming a leading environmental solutions provider and the largest recycler in North America. The organization has received multiple honors for its green and employee-centered initiatives including being named one of the world's most ethical companies by Ethisphere W. P. Carey Charles J. Robel Dean Ohad Kadan introduced Fish at the ceremony and reflected on meeting him for the first time last year "Here's what impressed me: He has been extremely successful — no doubt he brought WM to performance levels that were unseen — but beyond that it was clear that he stayed true to his values and he stayed loyal and committed to his employees," Kadan said Fish is the 42nd leader to receive the award for contributions to the business community Kadan sat down with Fish for a fireside chat where Fish shared anecdotes on leadership his legacy and the WM Phoenix Open's impact on the company Question: Can you elaborate on WM's mission to maximize resource value while minimizing environmental impact so the economy and the environment can thrive Fish: We are aging — the average age of the American population in 1980 was 30 we must take health care and sustainability into consideration As we continue to consume the world's resources being better stewards of those resources must be part of our mission That sustainability must be environmentally and economically green because we're not doing this for practice but to make money WM exists because shareholders give us that privilege and we have to make money for those shareholders making money for shareholders is important but so is thinking sustainably about preserving resources becoming more sustainable in ways such as adding renewable natural gas to our sustainability platform and rebuilding our recycled plants is critically important Our goal is to be the most sustainable company in North America you mentioned that your employees are your stakeholders Fish: The idea that employees are a company's stakeholders and customers originated with Herb Kelleher "Nuts!: Southwest Airlines' Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success," Kelleher suggested that leaders should prioritize their employees first because if an organization's people feel valued This method has been effective for us: Our shareholders are happy While I read Kelleher's book and thought his idea made sense I inherited this "people first" mindset from my mother my mother visited residents at nursing homes who had no other visitors I believe she lengthened the lives of some of the women she visited my mom taught me — and it's something I've carried forward at WM — to forget about the company for a moment and remember that we're all people My goal at every job I've ever had is to do something for the people I was laid off from a Yellow Corporation subsidiary on Christmas Eve He invited me to move back to Houston and work for WM 24 years ago Q: How did a Texas native become an ASU student Fish: I had a nontraditional experience at ASU When I first came to Arizona to pursue my degree followed by 200 spinal tap treatments over two years I had been active in recreational sports but wasn't able to do much after contracting meningitis I had treatments three times a week at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital My parents helped me reach out to ASU to inquire about classes Since I couldn't function several days a week ASU sent teaching assistants to my apartment to give me accounting many of my credits were earned thanks to these teaching assistants Q: What role has the WM Phoenix Open played for you as CEO of this company Fish: Sponsoring the open has been a bigger lift for our brand than anything we could have imagined and their first question was: "Tell us about the Waste Management Open." We have been trying to change our name from Waste Management to WM because it doesn't make sense to be a sustainability company with the word "waste" in our name and the first place we changed it was the golf tournament That was big for us to establish because it showed our customers we could lead sustainability in big cities and I suspect we will be the title sponsor for a long time what is your most prominent success or achievement Fish: I had been in this role for six months when I attended the 2017 WasteExpo and someone asked what I wanted my legacy to be The investors expected me to say we should produce double-digit returns or increase WM's stock price by a certain amount But I said I wanted my legacy to be that people say My greatest accomplishment is that I've been at least partially successful (in making WM a great place to work) Be part of the conversation shaping the future of business.

The Ukrainian Pirus Family Foundation has donated Nikita Kadan’s artwork The acquisition was made possible with the support of Voloshyn Gallery a project led by Kyiv-based gallerists Maksym and Julia Voloshyn who promote contemporary Ukrainian art internationally through exhibitions at their galleries in Miami and Kyiv This marks the first artwork by Nikita Kadan to be included in a museum collection in the United States the artwork is part of an extensive graphic series that the artist began in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine the sun does not rise in the sky but emerges from the black soil historical darkness that comes after the Victory over the Sun It is a symbol of this eschatological optimism It helps you to survive,” the artist explains “Ukrainian art has immense potential and deserves to be represented on a global level I am happy to help artists attain their place in leading world collections,” noted Volodymyr Pirus gallerist and co-organizer of the acquisition emphasized the significance of this event for promoting Eastern European artists in the United States: “The collections of American museums are primarily enriched through private donations and acquisitions with patrons and foundations playing a crucial role in shaping museum collections in the U.S American museums often overlook Eastern European artists The inclusion of Nikita Kadan’s work in a prestigious institution like ICA Miami is an important step that affirms Ukrainian art as an integral part of the global cultural context.” Nikita Kadan is a Ukrainian artist and curator laureate of the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine in 2022 He works with socially critical and political art particularly reinterpreting controversial aspects of historical memory and narratives of the past He is a member of the creative group R.E.P which emerged during the 2004 Ukrainian Orange Revolution in Kyiv His works are held in the collections of the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne the M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp the MUMOK Museum of Contemporary Art in Vienna Earlier, Voloshyn Gallery announced Nikita Kadan’s solo exhibition, The Radial Bone The exhibition is built around a central image — a sharp ray that symbolizes the destructive human impulse for conquest and Russia’s war against Ukraine is no exception renowned curator Hans Ulrich Obrist will host a public conversation with the artist that means JavaScript has been disabled on your browser Please enable JavaScript to make this website work Malobi Ogbechie stepped off a ferry into Lagos’ Apapa port asking dockworkers how to ship his small batches of fonio by sea to save on expensive air freight that was eating into his margins Unable to afford shipping a full container he asked around for shippers who allowed cargo sharing with other exporters—groupage a world away from the bustle of Port Harcourt in the Nigerian south seeing education as a gateway to economic opportunity enrolled him and his brothers in boarding school As one of the few Black students in their school Malobi and his siblings navigated a subtle undercurrent of racism “There were little racist jokes here and there,” he said “A group of Black guys couldn’t walk into a building together without issues.” At first this atmosphere created a “victim mindset,” the weight of which could’ve defined him had he not learned to shake it off he enrolled in European Studies with French and German a program that promised language fluency and a deep dive into European politics and economics The French came in handy in his later African travels It was at Bath that Malobi began to see Africa as a continent sidelined in global markets he pursued a master’s in international relations at Regents University London Malobi recalled an almost insufferable curiosity about the continent during mostly Europe-focused classes. “I could feel my questions made some students and lecturers uncomfortable.” Ogbechie had a 3-month stint at a tech firm providing business training solutions but was fired due to a mismatch in corporate culture “I had to learn how to fit in over time,” he recalls as a business development manager for about 17 months gaining initial knowledge of air and sea freight he continued his career in business development roles at market research companies He sold it to retailers in London; its nutritional value and African roots made it a unique product at the time It was just a side venture until he decided to learn more His curiosity took him on a two-week journey across West Africa where fonio fields stretched under open skies His French came in handy in the Francophone countries The journey felt somewhat like a transformative privilege so that after returning to London he quit his job and moved back to Nigeria to export the grain full-time.  Ogbechie’s return coincided with COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns that swept across the globe in early 2020 Even as global logistics bottlenecks intensified,  he continued to source the grain from Nigeria and ship it to his handful of customers via air freight “I was either breaking even or making minimal profit just to keep customers abroad happy,” he explained Frustrated by the expensive freight prices Ogbechie looked for groupage services—sea freight logistics enabling small-scale exporters to share container space to cut costs—but found no solutions at the port “I was asking people on the road if they knew anyone offering this service the service did exist but was largely offline and hard to find organically Others like me would need this but wouldn’t know where to find it.” but only took concrete steps to create a shared container service in 2022 during a short agribusiness course at the Lagos Business School Ogbechie presented three concepts: processing kenaf (a versatile West African crop) “Everyone backed the container idea,” he said.  “Kadan Kadan” is a Hausa phrase that means  “little by little.”  letting multiple businesses pool goods into one sea shipment and more overseas,” Malobi said on Arise TV this month “at a quarter of air freight’s cost.” Air freight to Houston costs $3,500 per ton of garri while Kadan Kadan’s shared containers shipped the same for $520 a web app that let clients track shipments reducing paperwork that bogged down operations in traditional startups “The shipping industry isn’t very tech-enabled,” he noted and his app aimed to change that by offering transparency where manual forms caused delays keeping costs low by partnering with carriers—an asset-light approach enabling scalability through more clients and containers The first container filled by 80% even without any paid ads His rates undercut air shipping by two to three times Though slower than air freight—30 versus seven days—it was ideal for commoditized goods like garri and plantain flour it’s the most profitable way to export,” Ogbechie said The startup’s initial progress faced setbacks due to customs issues in the UK where some goods were seized because of a lack of awareness regarding import restrictions the startup had to refund affected customers up to $10,000—a significant amount for a bootstrapped venture Ogbechie explained his approach: “I don’t want a bad name it’s not my problem,’ I take the financial hit to ensure customer satisfaction.” He says the startup has grown to understand the terrain and these mishaps don’t occur anymore In addition to groupage services, Kadan Kadan also offers full-container and refrigerated options. Clients include Reel Fruit, Oma’s Chips and other emerging names in food and agribusiness Ogbechie notes that his biggest competitors are small legacy firms that have been quietly offering similar services for decades through word-of-mouth he realised that his initial obliviousness stemmed from their low online visibility and his unfamiliarity with Nigeria at the time He is trying to ensure visibility through physical connections at events and with associations a lot of people in the food business know us,” he said Ogbechie envisions Kadan Kadan evolving into a comprehensive tech-enabled logistics ecosystem with two key divisions Kadan Trade will become a sourcing agent in Africa facilitating connections between African suppliers in at least three key countries will expand to include a fleet of at least ten trucks to handle domestic logistics and efficient transport Ogbechie is working to make sure no one ends up at the port like he did five years ago; unable to find a means to affordably ship their African goods to expectant customers Archeological excavations that were launched in the mid-19th century in the region of Pantikapaion made the ancient Greek colony recognized as a site of great historical treasures It is the most eastern city on the Crimean Peninsula – the Ukrainian province that was illegally annexed by the Russian Federation in 2014 museums in the occupied territory that preserved cultural heritage have been systematically plundered and destroyed Often working on the intersection of identity UA) recalled a book from his parents’ library titled Antique Art: Works of World Art in the Museums of Ukraine (1977) The comprehensive trilingual catalogue lists an array of primitive treasures and includes the chapter Greek Cities on the Northern Coast of the Black Sea that frequently mentions Kerch in the context of its wider region Kadan’s reunion with the book inspired him to call attention to Russia’s war crimes of looting art and cultural property and ravaging museums and sites of historic significance Antique Art can be read quite literally as an inventory of stolen art The book’s register of items details the location Kadan designed The Siren’s Song based on the ancient Greek mythological creature a hybrid between a woman and a bird adorned with feathers and scaly feet is often found in sculptures and frescos as well as on funerary monuments book covers and pendants that were discovered by archeologists in the regions of Kyiv and Kherson Sirens received multiple interpretations ranging from now-disremembered folklore approaches in which they were believed to be a sign of world harmony and a foreteller of future bliss to the somehow popular version that warns of the dangerous temptations embodied by women She has been written about as a treacherous creature who lures sailors to shipwreck The account of the 16th century Flemish philosopher and Catholic priest Cornelius a Lapide describes her as follows: “With her voice she enchants and with her beauty she deprives of reason – voice and sight alike deal destruction and death” Dubbed the Muse of the Lower World it is commonly agreed that she sings In his solo exhibition organized by Transit Gallery Nikita Kadan juxtaposes the Siren with ancient Greek treasures that depict her image examples of which were looted by the Russians in the occupied territory and with air raid alarms; the sirens that tirelessly wail throughout Ukraine since the onset of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 The exhibition The Siren’s Song displays paintings based on images of stolen or destroyed works of art (from the book Antique Art) including portraits of the mythological creature and one that depicts the modern ruin of a destroyed building in Borodyanka the theme of the siren is not a novelty in the work of Kadan During a 2023 residency at the commemorative war museum In Flanders Fields the artist created a monumental ship-like artwork comprised of a translucent installation and a sound piece The work titled Tryvoha (The Sirens and the Mast) went on display in churches in the Belgian cities of Ypres and Mechelen features a recording of mezzo-soprano Lena Bielkina and violinist Ihor Zavhorodnyi who vocally and instrumentally mimic the eerie The opera singer’s dynamic voice combined with the weeping vibrations of the violin is intimidating the siren’s acoustic warning of an impending airstrike and the foreboding call of the mythological death-spirit of the Siren are symbolically superimposed It is striking how Kadan persistently and effectively transports (and thus purposefully dislocates) physical and immaterial elements from the events of the ongoing war in Ukraine to exhibition venues in Europe as a way of confrontation Through the well-studied example of Russia’s kleptomaniac tendencies that he introduces in The Siren’s Song the artist essentially stresses the wider scope of the emergency This emergency can be described best in plain language: Russia’s invasion aims to erase Ukrainian cultural identity Russia seeks not merely to capture Ukrainian territory but to achieve the gradual destruction of Ukraine’s cultural life Their “assault on Ukrainian cultural identity can be seen in everything from the widespread looting of national treasures to the targeted destruction of historic sites including museums These attacks are evidence of an intentional long-term campaign to eradicate Ukraine’s distinct culture and heritage” writes Martha Holder for the Atlantic Council history and language against the influences of Russification reverence should be given to the acts of resistance carried out by the award-winning novelist and poet Victoria Amelina she embarked on a mission to preserve the works of artists and writers who were killed or exiled during Russia’s war; a project against the loss of cultural memory The day before Volodymyr Vakulenko was murdered – the poet who compiled a journal recording Russian atrocities – he buried his book under a cherry tree in his garden It was discovered by Amelina and published posthumously In the foreword she writes: “I’m inside a new Executed Renaissance their manuscripts disappear and their memory is erased” Victoria Amelina died from injuries sustained during a Russian rocket attack on the city of Kramatorsk the artists we support today will be memorialized tomorrow Nikita Kadan’s proficient work methodology that bridges elements of myth introduces us to conceptual loopholes that facilitate the formulation of intertextual narratives that are simultaneously valid and cross-referential the leading motifs that the artist combines in his Transit Gallery exhibition as well as in Tryvoha meet each other in the common space of imminent danger We understand that the former refers to a creature that sings seduces men into death and belongs to the domain of mythology and the latter to a civil defense system that warns residents for airstrikes in real life their consolidation stimulates the motifs’ relational integration In that process they grow into an interconnected system of a kind of allegorical post-theory: The air-raid alarm metaphorically sings the Siren’s song This approach simultaneously augments and destabilizes the logical relation of the Siren and the siren inside their common space of imminent danger Kadan intentionally uses destabilization as a mechanism He has the exceptional talent of subverting commonly accepted truths while keeping their origin and discourse focused within their own theater of discussion figuratively speaking through the loophole of such a breach we could reverse the generally understood circumstances of the war and weaponize Nikita Kadan’s resurrection of the Siren by proclaiming: Each interruption of life in Ukraine that is announced by the wailing sound of the sirens foreshadows the inevitable downfall of the Russian Federation The Siren’s song is not delivered to the people of Ukraine the passage above attempts to illustrate also how the general public’s assumed circumstance of stagnation of cultural life in Ukraine is misinformed Artists like Nikita Kadan and his contemporaries are writing a unique art history in real time Their movement transforms the vulnerability of life in a war-enduring country and its disturbing byproducts into a force of resistance; an energy that is part of their reality leading art and cultural institutions persevere They nurture cross-cultural dialogue via microprojects that challenge the convenience of polarization They utilize their institutional influence to address social and cultural change in a time in which Ukrainian culture is threatened to such a degree that if Russia could have its way The public should pay attention to the work of regional art centers; those that despite missiles raining down on them develop projects that are evidence of resilience no matter how small-scale and literally underground they may be People should notice the independent art collectives that contribute to recovery and – most importantly – the Ukrainian artists who are temporarily unable to create anything art critic and researcher based in Mechelen (BE) and Prague (CZ) He is the founder of зараз: platform for emerging artists and curators from Ukraine (@zaraz_ukraine) and as of December 2023 he works as the studio manager of Anne Mariën he contributes to Flash Art Magazine and Fotograf Magazine the Voloshyn Gallery in Kyiv hosted Looking into the Gaps a group exhibition curated by Nikita Kadan The show was built around the theme of broken ties in the history of Ukrainian art bringing together the voices of artists from different periods and generations In the chamber exhibition in the galleries like a “museum” history that needs to be reinvented after a catastrophe We are publishing a brief summary of Kadan’s curatorial tour which took place on the opening day of the exhibition The curatorial text for the exhibition is based on Yuri Leiderman’s essay “Those Who Wandered in the Surf” written in 2017 the author recalls his youth as a member of an informal Odesa conceptual group that included Leonid Voytsehov The group was engaged in art that initially had no clear definition but eventually became known as Odesa Conceptualism Leiderman reflects on “how to exist in a situation that is not oriented to the center (then Moscow) knowing that you will remain a strange figure from the periphery?” He also reflects on Ukraine as a provincial country in the best sense of the word where cities coexist without the need for a center This desire for non-centered thinking and a way of making art Instead of fighting for the status of the center it is more productive for culture to deny the centered model in principle The exhibition begins with the work of Davyd Burliuk one of the siblings artists who came from the village of Chernianka in the Kherson region Burliuk was an extremely active figure and became known as the “father of Russian Futurism.” In the summer the Burliuks would return to the Kherson region to work and then go to the “center” with huge piles of paintings The exhibition presents Burliuk’s work from the 1950s where he had aspired to go since the revolution For people of the previous generation who were involved in painting ” the small Burliuk” was actually a technical term One day he could create a conventional folk primitive the next — abstract expressionism in the dripping style But in “Marusya with a Cow” it’s all mixed up these “emeralds” on the cow are like provincial madness a hypertrophy of provincialism that turns into the madness of international modernism The idea that is important for this exhibition is that artistic positions that in other geographies of the world could have become powerful pedestals for the authors of these ideas here led them to the role of a kind of village lunatic Yuri Leiderman’s paintings are works that he creates in his studio in the Moabit district of Berlin The motifs that often recur in these paintings are horses elements that the author imagines as folk ornaments folk ribbons that can surround a spaceship or a jug or stretch behind the severed head of Orpheus floating on the waters of the Hebrides There are also fragments of Rembrandt’s portrait of Hendrickje These are streams of images whose effect is created in the light of language — flashes in the dark that appear for a moment and disappear when it is too late to explain It is important to remember that these are the works of a man who went through several stages of creativity Leiderman created a kind of abstract calligraphy that he associated with the Beatniks although in his understanding of the 1980s Joan Miró was a key artist who embodied surrealism but the images and explanations were always in constant this practice became closer to Moscow’s conceptual art which was ironically described as “something drawn and something written.” This means a gap between images and commentary as if they were illustrations for a non-existent book part of the artist’s personal vocabulary or mania under the strong influence of Andrei Monastyrski and the Collective Action group Leiderman created installations that he described in the 1990s as props and graphomania often illustrations for textbook literary works again demonstrate discontinuities and pauses in which thought develops gradually and transitions remain hidden This process forms an ornament of meanings whose connections can be logically restored A photograph by the artist Ola Yeriemieieva shows the shot-up facade of the Slovo Building This site is significant for Ukrainian modernism because it is associated with modernist Kharkiv and the modernist social project of Ukraine in the 1920s when the country remained communist but had its own political and cultural subjectivity It was the birth of a new Ukrainian project — a radically modern even avant-garde project that was destroyed by the totalitarian Stalinist regime the ideas of this project seem to be currently condemned under the laws of decommunization Next to it is a movie about water and trees created by Florian Yuriev It is a silent observation movie about water and trees that critically examines the concept of nature the film is not only about water and trees seems to have been given a second chance — the 1960s as a second chance of the 1920s it is important that the Slovo Building was built in the 1920s and that the shelling damage to this facade during the current war reminds us of unresolved issues that have their roots in the twentieth century Unlike the spatial organization of the previous one this room with many works in it resembles the exposition approach of the National Art Museum of Ukraine I had a mixed feeling of interest and negative surprise when I saw one of the halls of NAMU On one wall of the permanent exhibition were works by Holosiy a photograph from Savadov’s “Collective Red” series the “Zhyvopysnyi Zapovidnyk.” On the other walls were decorative works from the sixties and seventies and the rest of the halls were reserved for temporary exhibitions there was not enough space for all these works and it seems that the museum has stopped evolving because there is simply not enough space on the walls for new works But even the present is squeezed into this space as if someone is dancing on a suitcase that is already full and from which things are trying to get out This situation is typical of many museums in Ukraine It’s important for me not to sound derogatory All sorts of organic waste is thrown in there and they start to chemically react with each other In this compost pit of Ukrainian art history new and interesting connections are constantly being made through these processes of decay and that is why we have something to talk about I imagined a space in which the connection between the works seems completely random but it is precisely this that gives rise to chemical reactions between them that arise from the works themselves But when the works are surrounded by a respectful white wall these processes have no opportunity to spread This section of the exhibition features a variety of works representing Ukrainian art across several decades and styles First up is a wall of works by Konstantyn-Vadym Ignatov a Kyiv-based nonconformist associated with the 1970s have gained some popularity among older intellectuals in the post-Soviet space His style is a kind of interpretation of Picasso’s modernism but with a caricature and psychedelic elements of the sixties He was a kind of “alcoholic Picasso.” Sana Shakhmuradova Tanska’s work fits perfectly between Oleg Holosiy and Fedir Tetianych She embodies a river that washes away life Associated with the floods that followed the demolition of the Kakhovka dam this motif of washing away is also evident in the way the painting is washed off the canvas The next work is a 1977 painting by Tetyana Yablonska depicting the “Temple of the Goddess Vesta in Rome.” It was created after the artist’s participation in the Venice Biennale Yablonska moved away from the folk style of the 1960s which was associated with dissident sentiments She works in a manner reminiscent of Camille Pissarro thick and deep air that recalls her later post-Soviet sketches painted from the window of her apartment in the Pechersk district Kateryna Aliinyk’s work with a flute made by beetles eating holes in a branch demonstrates the new nature of war Her works convey scenes that seem to be seen through a layer of earth: roots intertwined with grenades and tripwires left by war These are paintings that symbolize the restoration of the earth Some of the works in the exhibition are so-called “immortal textbook classics.” Among them is Maria Prymachenko’s “How Our Men Extinguished the Fourth Block.” But next to it are paintings by non-professional artist Maya Nikolaieva an orthopedic surgeon who took up painting after retirement often sits near the Polytechnic Institute metro station in Kyiv and sells her works — beautiful She calls her works “Field of Poppies,” “Field of Daisies,” “Field of Flowers,” uniting them under an endless series  titled “Prewar Beauty.” The work “New Pattern” by Bohdan Sokur who is currently serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces depicts memorial wreaths for fallen comrades and together with Pryimachenko’s and Nikolaieva’s works forms a “zone of flowers” in the exhibition Tiberiy Szilvashi’s monochrome paintings from 2011 and 2019 demonstrate “chronorealism,” a practice that continues regardless of events in the outside world: war turning paint into a chronicle of materiality Next to Szilvashi’s works are those of Katya Kopeikina Her paintings are characterized by sharp expression and combine elements of quasi-modernist new abstraction with the subcultural protest of young people against the cruelty of the adult world Kopeykina’s painting rhymes with Maria Prymachenko’s “Chernobyl snake” and Konstantyn-Vadym Ignatov’s “alkomodernism,” creating a kind of dialogue between works that reflect an irreconcilable spirit I found this item on the Petrivka flea market in Kyiv and the only thing I could find out from the seller was that it was “definitely from the 90s.” This is an object that demonstrates a combination of pop esotericism and at the same time survival through work on the land Next to it is my “Window,” an artwork made from a kiota bought at the Kosiv market in the Carpathians When I was studying at the Art Academy in Kyiv there was a place on the ground floor where models and some of the teachers received their salaries would stand in line to receive crumpled hryvnia and bundles of coupons through a small grated window “The Window” represents this moment of social marginalization and insecurity It is a painting of a girl with flowers against the horizon The image of the girl stands on a dark green surface and on either side are two figures that seem to be drowning in water who worked as a conveyor belt engineer in Rivne and started painting after her retirement is represented in the exhibition with her works She sold her paintings by placing them on buckets of potatoes at the market Her paintings often use drawings of conveyor parts One of her works is “Archangel Uriel,” which depicts the archangel above the Rivne power plant where she worked Ryzhuk explains it this way: “The power plant has a million watts and the archangel has a million million.” and last year in Frankivsk there was a big exhibition of Parfion’s works called “There was an artist here” in the town hall Speaking of Tetianych’s print entitled “Thematic Composition of the 70s or the Museum of the Patriotic War,” I wonder if the work’s name would be changed if it were exhibited in a Ukrainian public institution today in a “Museum of the Second World War” Below is a photo of Tetianych in one of his spacesuits Fedir Tetianych’s performance can be attributed to a type of art that is completely dissolved in everyday life when a person simply does not perform and then goes out to dinner like a normal person when dinner is a continuation of the performance The photo documents the artist himself in one of the elements of one of his biotechnospheres and the artist’s body is arranged in it like a segment like an astronaut in some kind of module for space travel But everything is made of found sticks twisted with tape it looks like deep ecological thinking and total recycling it looks like children playing something so sci-fi This means that he is not only the author of his original philosophy but also a representative of his time and a person who saw the prospect of a completely different organization of human life Andriy Boyarov’s work reveals the refraction of the international conceptual tradition in the Ukrainian context but in a completely different way than in Odesa The theme of mass media and the gap between image This is a reshoot of an Estonian television screen in Tallinn he reshot a Soviet film with a Ukrainian folklore character The title of the media work “Be careful Sergei Nikolajevits” is only a small fragment of the dialog of the characters on the screen In the works of Vlada Ralko from the series “Lviv Diary” one can find the connections between heaven and hell as in the photographs of Ola Yeriemieieva or the paintings on paper of Bohdan Sokur where you can feel that Ralko is drawing on this great tradition of allegorical imagery The works on paper really have a very Western these images have a deep artistic universality There’s a figure that just climbs into the blackness or white doves of peace pecking at a human head with their eyes The exhibition ends with a stencil by Vlodko Kostyrko from 1991 which is actually a greeting to Ukrainian independence It is a line from the poem “Gnaw the Iron” by the

everyone poorer via inflation Opinion COINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEEDCentral bankers are claiming that Bitcoin (BTC) is unfair they’re laying the foundation for high tax rates on Bitcoin — from mining to capital gains taxes — and even an outright ban But most of the economic evidence — even in papers they themselves publish — suggests that the central bankers are the true cause of our suffering via money printing and inflationary policies and settings In a new paper by the European Central Bank (ECB), Jürgen Schaaf argues that Bitcoin is inherently unfair early adopters exactly increase their real wealth and consumption at the expense of the real wealth and consumption of those who do not hold Bitcoin or who invest in it only at a later stage,” writes Schaaf who is an adviser to the senior management of Market Infrastructure and Payments argues that the wealth of Bitcoiners was stolen from non-Bitcoiners and equity portfolios by early Bitcoin investors […] are financed by diminishing consumption and wealth of those who initially do not hold Bitcoin,” he writes Instead of holding the inflationary policies of central banks responsible for perceived asset misallocation and general misery he suggests Bitcoin will create economic despair “This redistribution of wealth and purchasing power is unlikely to occur without detrimental consequences for society,” he writes non-Bitcoiners should oppose Bitcoin and even work toward legislation against it aiming to prevent a rise in the price of Bitcoin “or to see Bitcoin disappear altogether.”  Even while arguing for redistribution away from Bitcoiners Schaaf argues it’s Bitcoiners are the ones doing the redistributing The paper also touches on Bitcoin’s inelasticity — the inability for more Bitcoin to be created — in the form of a graph illustrating how little Bitcoin will be available for late adopters On X, Schaaf further expounded on his theory “Early holders’ wealth and consumption rise while others get poorer regardless of whether they ever own Bitcoin,” he wrote While Schaaf blames Bitcoin for economic dislocations there is perhaps more evidence that central bank financial engineering wreaks more havoc on fiat-holding non-Bitcoiners than does Bitcoin quantitative easing policies — often labeled “money printing” — might have increased the price of stocks bonds and other assets in the hands of the wealthy In a report by the United Kingdom Parliament House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee called “Quantitative easing: a dangerous addiction?,” the committee examined quantitative easing [QE] in response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis “The policy has also had the effect of inflating asset prices artificially and this has benefited those who own them disproportionately exacerbating wealth inequalities,” reads the report Furthermore, in a paper published by the University of Massachusetts, the authors examined the effect of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing policy on income and wealth inequality “The impact of quantitative easing on the distribution income was at least modestly regressive,” the authors wrote Highlights from Schaaf’s thread. Source: Jürgen Schaaf They conclude that QE led to “modest increases in inequality despite having some positive impacts” on employment and the refinancing of mortgages the true effects of quantitative easing may be unknown to even the high sages of economics in their ivory towers “The effects of quantitative easing are poorly understood, in part because standard models of monetary policy predict that it doesn’t work,” wrote Vincent Sterk and Wei Cui of University College London A paper published by Ohio State University Press highlights an international poll of 31,869 respondents in 38 countries: Moreover, a survey by the United States Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey found that inflation hurts low-income households the worst gas and rent where inflation is higher than average Low-income households cannot buy cheaper goods or more generic bands since they generally are buying cheaper goods Schaaf fails to convince us that Bitcoin will be the cause of our economic suffering presented all the evidence necessary to suggest that maybe Schaaf and his colleagues are the problem Perhaps non-Bitcoiners “should realize that they have compelling reasons” to oppose central banks.Kadan Stadelmann is a blockchain developer operations security expert and Komodo Platform’s chief technology officer His experience ranges from working in operations security in the government sector and launching technology startups to application development and cryptography Kadan started his journey into blockchain technology in 2011 and joined the Komodo team in 2016 282 readsHow To Stop Mind Reading AI From Invading Our Thought Privacy by Kadan StadelmannAugust 23rd 2024Too Long; Didn't ReadMankind's previously recognized rights such as the privacy of even our innermost thoughts will become an artifact of history if we don't consider how to protect ourselves against AI managed by corporations and governments Researchers have used AI to [decode] images and strings of text seen by volunteers Mankind's previously recognized rights Researchers have used AI to decode images and strings of text seen by volunteers its quick evolution underscores the urgent need for a renewed emphasis on human freedom and dignity especially as it pertains to mind-reading and privacy tinfoil hats could become a fashion trend out of necessity; that is if we don't put proper AI standards and practices into place There are two main approaches to managing the risk posed by mind-reading technology intruding on our thoughts which brings ethical reasoning to computer science and technology perhaps companies create ethics departments to see to it that ethical considerations are made as part of the process of launching new products or designing new software (There is a purpose for that philosophy degree decide to integrate safeguards into neuro-devices during the design and production stage The second way to curtail threats posed by AI entails lawmakers and other civil society actors working together to develop domestic laws and international standards to safeguard the thoughts in our heads Harvard took a big step toward incorporating this approach into its educational practices by embedding ethicists into its computer science curriculum so developers could learn to think rationally about the ethics of technology The recognition of mental privacy as an extension of good old-fashioned privacy rather than a new right for which people must fight is essential to help AI titans and lawmakers think about how to approach mind-reading AI Lawmakers might consider legislation that requires informed consent (without coercion) when it comes to brain data data protection laws should make it clear that mental data falls under the category of sensitive personal information Mental Privacy Is Central To Individuals and Society mind-reading technology requires the cooperation of individuals who are able to resist the technology’s mind-reading capabilities at present–but that is ever so quickly changing as the world undergoes an AI revolution State actors could one day commandeer the technology to obtain information from interrogees.

Szilvashi demonstrates works that are the result of the artist’s long journey and a concise expression of the layers of knowledge and experience gained during his life where there is still room for

students Editor’s note: This story is featured in the 2022 year in review.  He’s fluent in Hebrew and fond of gangster movies and books that make him cry He’s a finance professor by trade and recently started his new post at Arizona State University as dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business. After an intense national search, Kadan left his position as the vice dean for education and globalization and the H. Frederick Hagemann Jr. Professor of Finance at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis to report for work in Tempe on July 1. Since then, he’s hit the ground running. Kadan has been holding planning sessions with faculty and key personnel, finding new ways for innovation, setting long- and short-term goals, and adjusting from a private school setting to a public university. ASU News spoke to Kadan a few weeks into his tenure. Here’s what he had to say about his new and unfolding adventure. Question: What resonated about the W. P. Carey School and Arizona State University while pursuing this position? Answer: There are several aspects of the school that attracted me. The first is that the city of Phoenix and the metro area is a thriving region. It’s the fifth-largest city in the United States, and it's growing fast, with both migration of individuals and corporations moving in. I think that’s important for a business school or university. So I see a lot of opportunities just being in the metro Phoenix area. Q: Before joining W. P. Carey earlier this month, you had been at Washington University in St. Louis since 2002, starting as an assistant professor and becoming a full professor while moving through roles such as academic director of the Global Master of Finance program, finance chair and vice dean for education and globalization. How has that trajectory influenced the way you think about leading at the W. P. Carey School? I’m carrying it with me to W. P. Carey – the idea that you need to plan strategically, think long-term about where you want to be five and 10 years from now, and work together to develop and execute the plan. And it can’t be an amorphous plan. It must have measurable goals. It must have a timeline. It must have champions who are responsible for execution. It must be a tangible plan. That's what we are doing here right now. Q: Can you tell us about your research expertise? Q: Are there areas of W. P. Carey that you consider “hidden strengths” and will try to highlight? A: I think a few areas we could develop are executive education, continuing education, lifelong learning and engagement with businesses and the community. These are areas I wouldn’t call  “hidden strengths.” They just haven’t been as developed as they should. So those are areas I'm particularly interested in and will work to develop further. Q: You started the transition early, attending several school events in the spring, leading strategic planning sessions and gaining an understanding of the ASU system. Can you give us examples of crucial decisions you made in those early days? Q: What else do you want our community to know about what the future holds for the W. P. Carey School? Q: You mentioned that your wife, Dafna, would help in your role at W. P. Carey. What will this look like? A: Dafna's a very social person, so I expect her to participate in many W. P. Carey events, including fundraising and other activities. She’s looking forward to participating and interacting with the entire community, whether within W. P. Carey at the university or in the community at large. She's also looking forward to moving to Phoenix and sharing this experience with me. Q: You’ve had a whirlwind year following the selection process and moving to Arizona from Missouri. How do you spend your time when life isn’t so busy? A: Life is busy, and I like to spend my time with family to the extent I can. They're my priority in life. I have three children: my oldest is 24, my middle child is 21 and my youngest is 17, who is still living with us. I dedicate as much time to my family as possible, given my many obligations and commitments. In terms of leisure time, we like hiking. Q: Now for some fun stuff. Favorite Phoenix area restaurant? A: An Israeli restaurant in Scottsdale called Fata Morgana. My wife is a foodie, and she has a list of Phoenix restaurants she wants us to attend already! Q: Favorite or most recent book you’ve read? A: I recently read "The Kite Runner" and felt emotionally affected by it. A: I love the cinema, and there are so many great movies. But I’m a big fan of "The Godfather" saga. Q: Best business advice you've ever received? A: To listen. When you are in a meeting, spend 80% of your time listening and 20% talking. Leaders want to speak rather than listen, and I think that’s a mistake. I need to listen and hear, not just hear what people are saying. So listening is an essential skill in business. Q: Favorite professor or teacher who had an impact on you? A: I’ve had many, but I would like to highlight my alma mater, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which taught me to be rigorous in everything I do in my research and teaching. That was very influential on my career. Q: Best advice for prospective ASU students? A: I have the same advice for prospective students and graduates: Don’t be afraid to take chances or get a "no.” There’s a saying, “You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” I got many "nos" in my career. So, if you are a student, ask the question. Don't be shy or get discouraged. If you are a graduate, apply for a job. If you don't take your chances, you won’t get anywhere.

for the opening of his new work called “The Objects from Another Place” at Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2024 Bright green rice paddies fly by the window as soft white curtains hang over the dark mountains clouds that resemble another art installation in the sparsely populated region It took Kadan three days to reach Japan from Kyiv for the art festival The political weight of “Objects” feels out of step with the rest of the hyper-local new artworks of the triennale it brings a welcome urgency from the outside world.googletag.cmd.push(function() {

Although Wycombe struck late on through Richard Kone, it was too little too late for the hosts as Villa went through at their expense. Villans boss Unai Emery also used the fixture as an opportunity to hand game time to some of the club’s youngsters. Joe Gauci and Kadan Young both enjoyed full debuts, while Kosta Nedeljkovic, Lamare Bogarde and Sil Swinkels also started. Aidan Borland, Ben Broggio, Travis Patterson and Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba also made their first outings for Villa as they came on off the bench. After the game, Young took to Instagram with a message celebrating his debut. A number of his peers – including Manchester City’s Rico Lewis, Chelsea’s Omari Kellyman and Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly – congratulated him. Young wrote: “Proud moment for me and my family making my debut last night”. He also tagged Villa’s Instagram account.

the world’s leading contemporary art galleries and the acclaimed Focus section led by Lumi Tan Carina Bukuts and Chloe Stead speak to the artist about the war's threat to Ukraine's cultural sector Chloe Stead Just two days before you were due to fly to Vienna to take part in an artist residency in the Austrian town of Krems How has your day-to-day life been since then Nikita Kadan I’m currently in Voloshyn Gallery – an underground exhibition space that has been reconverted into a bomb shelter I am here with the gallery assistant and her relatives there were several other artists with their families but they managed to fly out to the west of the country Carina Bukuts In the past few days you’ve been posting on Instagram about works by Ukrainian artists that have been lost but there’s also a grave risk to Ukrainian cultural heritage What is currently at stake for museums in Ukraine The Museum of Local History in Ivankiv was hit by Russian military fire destroying 25 paintings by the Ukrainian folk artist Maria Prymachenko although I heard that local people have also been able to save some of the works The family of the late artist Fedir Tetyanych – one of Ukraine’s first performance and installation artists – has asked me to help them communicate that they are unable to move out of their small apartment in Kyiv because the artworks that are stored there are at risk who was inspired by science fiction and ecological thinking combined found objects with garbage to create very fragile biotechnospheres – models for how people might live in the future Many other Ukrainian museums cannot evacuate their collections so the staff are now sleeping alongside the works in storage facilities to try and protect them They are putting their own lives in danger because they cannot bring themselves to detach from the art you’ve regularly addressed how history is narrated through museums NK My practice has always been politically engaged but my earlier projects were usually rooted in the present moment, containing elements of ‘critical journalism’ my work has developed a historiographical aspect with the central images often depicting destroyed museums or burnt archives I have also used lots of images from local art history which is relatively unknown to the rest of the world I’m particularly interested in the non-Western experience in the marginal stories that question the very notion of the centre the centre will be protected while the periphery becomes a place where human life has little value and where cultural heritage is often reduced to ashes or left to ruin I feel responsible for preserving the memories and experiences of those marginal zones – although on forgotten or less-discussed histories has impacted how you view what’s happening today NK A catastrophe is unfolding here and the Western world has to accept responsibility for the role it has played in normalizing what is going on in Russia When I was asked to participate in ‘Diversity United’ – a large-scale exhibition which opened at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport in 2021 before touring to Moscow and Paris – I refused because it was being organized under the patronage of three presidents: Emmanuel Macron of France Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany and Vladimir Putin of Russia The exhibition not only featured some big names but also included some younger artists whose work is considered critical and politically engaged you rejected the invitation from the outset because I would never participate in an exhibition under Putin’s patronage I took the opportunity to ask the curatorial team some pretty direct questions if it’s so problematic for the artists they would like to include in the show they merely sidestepped any pointed questions about Russian imperialism and eventually stopped responding altogether CB You’re a member of Revolutionary Experimental Space an activist artist collective originally formed after the Orange Revolution of 2004–05 Further political turmoil followed with the Maidan Square protests of 2013–14 What impact has this upheaval had on the art scene in Ukraine politically engaged artists comprised only a fraction of the Ukrainian art scene which was dominated by postmodernist painting until the late 2000s Following the protests of 2013–14 and Russia’s annexation of Crimea the situation changed and socially engaged art became more prominent CB Would you say that Ukrainian cultural institutions also support these more politically oriented practices NK While they are inclined to avoid open criticism of nationalist and conservative tendencies they’re also aware that politically engaged artists are currently making the most interesting work certainly in comparison to the 2000s or early 2010s Museums are also more willing to show contemporary art now although their lack of experience in the field can sometimes lead to compromises or conflicts I’ve personally had disagreements with several Ukrainian state museums that tried to host exhibitions of my work but then felt some aspects of the content I also know of several cases of censorship within the Ukrainian contemporary art scene your installation The Shelter addressed the destruction of the Donetsk Regional Museum of Local History during the Donbas War in Eastern Ukraine in 2014 NK The work is based on a photograph I found of the damaged building moose – stand amongst the wreckage as if they are alive and have broken free from their vitrines adding rubber tyres to echo those at the Maidan Protests The lower part of the installation acts as a defensive wall but we have been living this way partly for eight years We have had to learn how to exist in a danger zone where our possibilities are often incredibly limited you posted on Instagram about reading poetry and watching films by Ingmar Bergman What art has brought you comfort during this time NK Sheltering here at Voloshyn Gallery I am surrounded by works from the collection including some fine examples of early-20th-century Ukrainian modernism There are also some contemporary pieces by my friends Bruno Schulz and the Russian poet Galina Rymbu who moved to Ukraine and lives in Lviv with her family CB How do you find the head space to read right now I just need a distraction so that I don’t go crazy CS For our readers wanting to support people in Ukraine right now Please demand that your governments shut down Ukraine airspace Our country is already partly in ruins and the situation is deteriorating every day If we speak about the needs of the artistic scene – we’ll need your support to reconstruct our cultural institutions and to restart our artistic lives by increasing visibility for Ukrainian artists this is not about saving Ukrainians; it’s about

Bitcoin As of May AntPool and Foundry USA controlled more than 50% of Bitcoin's hash rate That could become a problem for Bitcoin users in the near future Opinion COINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEEDBitcoin (BTC) mining is now in the hands of the few Well-known mining pools have seized overwhelming power which poses an existential threat to the world’s first digital asset It’s the logical outcome of a design flaw by Satoshi Nakamoto Unfortunately, Bitcoin mining has always tended towards centralization Bitcoin miners could once mine blocks with CPUs on personal computers due to fewer miners and therefore a lower overall hash rate That evolved into GPUs around 2010 and into application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miners in 2012 ASICs ultimately gave rise to massive mining companies that filled warehouses with hundreds or thousands of rigs Miners who control a greater percentage of Bitcoin’s network hash rate are more likely to mine blocks and collect the Bitcoin block reward — the financial incentive for verifying and adding transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain That’s why small-scale miners often join a mining pool along with others running their own ASICs These miners earn in proportion to the amount of computing power they contribute to a mining pool’s network Mining pools constitute a centralizing influence on the Bitcoin network Big mining pools benefit from economies of scale larger pools have more efficient operations a mining pool that controls more than 50% of the Bitcoin network hash rate could initiate a 51% attack against the network Related: Welcome to the United Kingdom — Please hand over your crypto mining pools have come to dominate the Bitcoin mining industry Small and medium sized miners lend their power to a pool to minimize costs and maximize revenue Bitcoin mining pools have become more centralized and prone to censorship require miners to go through Know Your Customer protocols These two pools controlled nearly 50% of the network’s hashing power in February but had grown their share to 56.4% as of May That gives them much greater ability to censor transactions — by refusing to confirm them — in blocks that they mine Miners have already censored transactions — from Bitcoin addresses sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) a financial intelligence and enforcement agency under the U.S The prime example took place in September and October 2023, when Bitcoin developer 0xB10C’s personal project, miningpool-observer, detected that mining pool F2Pool failed to validate six transactions from OFAC-sanctioned addresses He found that four of the transactions were likely intentionally filtered making F2Pool the first pool to adhere to OFAC sanctions F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang wrote in a now-deleted tweet "Why do you feel surprised when I refuse to confirm transactions for those criminals I have every right not to confirm any transactions from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping Wang later tweeted that F2Pool “will disable the tx filtering patch for now until the community reaches a more comprehensive consensus on this topic.” Related: Here’s why US debt is out of control — and Japanese debt isn’t 0xB10C also claimed mining pools are even more centralized than people think with AntPool controlling nearly 50% of all Bitcoin hash power Bitcoin developer Matt Corallo acknowledged his colleague’s findings writing on X that miner centralization does have an effect on Bitcoin and “arguably destroys the long-term value proposition of bitcoin itself.” If a single group controls 51% percent of bitcoin’s mining power they can censor transactions and double-spend which occurs when the same bitcoin is spent more than once The US government or Chinese government could exert pressure on these large mining companies to exclude transactions from Bitcoin blocks As if so much centralization in the mining complex itself wasn’t enough BlackRock has its tentacles all over the Bitcoin mining after investing in many of the top miners Wall Street could conceivably wield influence over the Bitcoin mining index in a manner similar to the way that the “Big Three” — BlackRock Vanguard — wield influence over the stock market Mining pool consolidation is a concerning trend Bitcoin has too much value for everyone involved to fail small blockers and "plebs" will prove too strong for any centralizing force to control The Bitcoin community can combat such consolidation by running as many independent nodes as possible Nodes can choose any unadulterated chain in the event a Bitcoin mining pool launched a 51% attack against Bitcoin ASIC owners help to stop a mining pool from attacking Bitcoin by pointing their mining rigs to a different mining pool refrain from pointing it to the largest pools — such as AntPool or Foundry USA — which require you to cough up personal information anyway Every mining pool could lose business this way which would go a long way toward dissuading malicious behavior
