Every student’s path to Harvard Kennedy School is unique
What our alumni go on to do after graduating is equally varied
We asked several of our alumni to tell us about their experiences before
and after HKS and how their time at Harvard shaped their careers and lives
Having always been interested in public policy
Sophie Faaborg-Andersen MPP 2023 applied to HKS after two years working for a non-profit dedicated to public sector research
Her HKS coursework and experiences with the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs propelled her to a career working on cyber policy within the Department of Defense.
she serves as an advisor to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Cyber Policy
She drafts policy and advises on reforms to address the intelligence needs of the cyberspace operations community and explores alternatives for cyber force design and readiness policy
and other materials on cyber policy matters for DoD senior leadership
and she represents the department at interagency engagements.
“The opportunity to engage with the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs was a significant factor in my decision to attend HKS
Its mission to advance policy-relevant knowledge at the intersection of security and technology perfectly aligned with my experience as an analyst at MITRE
as well as my long-term aspiration to shape policy in the rapidly evolving field of emerging tech.”
The Belfer Center was a pivotal part of Sophie’s experience at HKS. As a Belfer Young Leader Fellow
she authored policy reports on digital standards and engaged with congressional staffers to shape legislative amendments based on her research
She also co-created and produced the Belfer Center’s first podcast on cyber policy
which featured expert debates and interviews on pressing global cybersecurity issues
deepening her understanding of policymaking
and enhancing her communication skills.
Sophie applied to HKS to transition from being a practitioner in emerging technology and cybersecurity to being a policymaker
She also wanted to bridge her expertise in systems engineering and analysis with a deeper understanding of cyber policy
Her goal was to expand her knowledge in the interconnected fields of cybersecurity
Immediately after graduation, Sophie began working at the MITRE Corporation
a not-for-profit organization that operates federally funded research and development centers to support public sector missions
government agencies to provide technical expertise and applied research to address complex challenges in national security

Plans to transform the former Story County Medical Center into apartments have hit a snag due to an outpouring of public dissent
About a dozen people spoke out against the $7.8 million project
which would have converted the “old hospital,” as it’s known locally
one and two-bedroom market-rate apartments
The Nevada City Council voted 4-1 on Feb. 10 against rezoning the current property at 630 6th Street from an urban family-dwelling district to a multiple-family-dwelling district
Residents had concerns about issues such as parking
“While I personally support this project because it was going to be for the betterment of the community
I do have to follow what the consensus of my ward is asking for,” council member Melissa Muschick said during the meeting
“My vote is going to be based on what I’ve been given feedback from even though it is most certainly going to be against my personal belief that I think this is a great project and the best option for what we have in front of us.”
The 74-year-old medical center was split into three facilities − a medical clinic, a hospital and senior care − all of which are vacant. Story Medical Senior Care was the last domino to fall, occupying one of the buildings until 2024. The facility is now housed at 710 S. 19th Street in Nevada on the campus of the current Story County Medical Center

The city council had already approved the first reading of the zoning change after a public hearing in January
10 meeting lasted for more than an hour and were heated at times
Most of the residents who spoke at the meeting said they live in the neighborhood surrounding the old hospital property on Sixth Street
The council has been working with Capstone
a nonprofit organization with board members throughout the Midwest
More: 'Good Boy's' rescue went viral. The man who allegedly shot the dog has been arrested.
Linda Bartleson has lived in Nevada since 1988 and has been in her current home on Sixth Street since 2002
She has an issue with the rise of local rental units
“Our neighborhood is gradually being enveloped by rental property," Bartleson said during the meeting
within one block of our home on the corner of Sixth and G
Adding 60 more units will impact our property value."
she was also concerned about nearby parking
noting that on-street parking is already “very limited."
“I am really concerned about the street parking availability and just the egress for emergency,” Bartleson said
The original Story County Medical Center opened at its Sixth Street location in 1951 after a fire in 1943 destroyed Nevada's first hospital. A shortage of raw materials and a struggling economy during WWII delayed the facility's construction for six years
The facility served patients for 58 years thanks to several additions and upgrades before moving into the new Story County Medical Center at 640 South 19th Street in 2009
What happens to the former Story County Medical Center now?The Nevada apartment project was initially bolstered by a pair of $1 million tax credits from the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Workforce Housing
It’s possible that Capstone will want to return ownership of the old hospital
which it bought from Story County for $1 in 2023

Some residents suggested lowering the number of available apartments to 20 instead of 60
the Nevada Economic Development Council requested estimates for the cost of demolishing the building
Any future plans for the former Story County Medical Center will require a new public hearing and a series of three council votes

The Faaborg family is working to build a farming blueprint for the Midwest
intrigued by their potential to heal ailments and serve as a superfood."It took time for Tanner to convince his parents and his older brother
The Transfarmation Project helped him make the case
the director of the Transfarmation Project
describes himself as a 'farmer social worker.' His group talks to farmers
learn about their equipment and buildings and whether it’s tied to debt
explores what plant-based alternatives might work
and matches them with resources."To get started
the Faaborgs received a $15,000 grant from the Transfarmation Project for "a pilot project cultivating reishi
lion’s mane and oyster mushrooms," Buckley writes
"It provided another $200,000 toward redesigning one of the Faaborgs’ hog barns
The last of their hogs shipped out in the fall of 2022
Mushrooms for medicinal tinctures and a coffee blend are now being grown in an outbuilding
and a hog barn [will] grow specialty mushrooms
hundreds of native trees have been planted and a pollinator-friendly field has been sown."The Faaborg homestead now produces mushrooms "under the name 1100 Farm
a nod to the number of hogs each barn once held," Buckley reports
the profits from mushrooms could exceed what the farm was generating from hogs during the best of times
without the backbreaking work and sounds and smells from the hog barns and waste pit."

Ames High School started a theatrical event in 2024 that quickly gained popularity
The drama department will present its second annual Winter One Act Festival this weekend
One-act festivals are a unique opportunity to see multiple different shows
and hear many different stories in one night
an AHS senior who is lead director and set designer for “The Women of Lockerbie.”
The line-up includes “Queens” by Kirsten Doherty
“The Women Of Lockerbie" by Deborah Brevoort and “Soundscapes” by Claudia Haas and Sarah Kraning
The festival includes three meaningful and emotion-filled shows
Sunday at the Ames High Wayne “Hank” Hansen Performing Arts Center
More: Sleep In Heavenly Peace provides free beds for kids in Story County and the City of Boone
The three featured productions are quite different
so there’s something for everyone in the audience
“You might like the fun tragicomedy in ‘Queens,’ with the musings of the fool and the powerful stories of the queens of Henry the 8th," Peterson said
"Or you might be a fan of ‘Soundscapes,’ a play about a young girl with synesthesia discovering herself
then you will definitely like ‘The Women of Lockerbie,’ a show about loss

Ames senior Nathan Kelly plays King Henry VIII in Purgatory in the play “Queens.”
Although Kelly has been active in theater since his freshman year
other priorities kept him from participating in the inaugural event last year
“I am doing the one-act festival this year because they were utterly sublime last year,” he said
“The stories their characters told were heartbreaking and soul-wrenching but just so incredibly meaningful and motivating
is the director of “Soundscapes” as well as the drama department’s Head of Stage/House Management which consists of helping mentor the Stage Managers for all three shows
“This is a big change for me from last year's Winter One Acts where I played a part in all three shows as Stage Manager
Assistant Stage Manager and Run Crew,” Klocke said
She realized how much she enjoyed being a part of a smaller production last year and the community it created with the directors
“I have always enjoyed the experience of taking a show from a script to a fully realized production
which is a process that becomes even more recognizable on a smaller scale,” Klocke said
“The production of a one-act scales down many aspects of a larger production to the extent that those involved can more deeply understand everything that goes into every little part of the production process.”
The One Act Festival gives the drama department a chance to try out new show styles
open up opportunities for new actors and train new crew members
This also allows the audience to see people and design pieces that they haven't before
Each production has a unique story and is impactful in its own way
“The audience will get to experience three extremely different shows in just one night and leave each one feeling something different,” Klocke said
“This is what I believe makes the Winter One Act Festival special.”
Kaylee Sue McClure is a senior playing the role of Madaline Livingston
running wild through the hills of Lockerbie
who is trying his best to comfort her while also grieving himself
who also leads the Ames High Drama Publicity team
said the festival speaks beautifully to the human experience
anchored by different topics and themes though all equally meaningful and important
“Walking out of the festival I hope for audiences to have seen a piece of themselves," McClure said
"Whether it be in the courage from one of Henry’s six queens
the parental love or weight of grief from Bill and Madaline

Ronna Faaborg covers business and the arts for the Ames Tribune
A Hardin County family farm has made national news for its recent transition from hog to mushroom production
The Ames Tribune published a story about 1100 Farm on July 18
detailing how the former hog farm has been converted into a mushroom-growing operation
The family also drew the attention of the New York Times, which published its own story on Wednesday
1100 Farm began as a hog farm just 45 minutes north of Des Moines in Radcliffe
decided to switch their focus to mushrooms after enduring the challenges of the hog industry
“Tanner Faaborg sold his house in Des Moines to help pay for the project
secured a government grant to convert the swine pit to a clean pond
and Tyler Faaborg contributed $75,000 from savings
They’re still a few hundred thousand dollars short of the approximately $1 million it will cost to fully transition and rewild the farm
The property's larger mushroom facility is expected to be completed by the end of the year
The farm produces Lion's Mane and Reishi mushrooms
A documentary film crew visited 1100 Farm on July 16 to capture the groundbreaking of the Faaborg family's mushroom-growing operation
The crew would not let the Tribune reveal what company they were with until the film is released

A former Hardin County hog farm is in the spotlight for an environmentally conscious transformation
A documentary film crew visited 1100 Farm on Tuesday
in Radcliffe to celebrate Tanner Faaborg and his family's groundbreaking as they begin work on their new mushroom-growing operation
1100 Farm began as a hog farm just 45 minutes north of Des Moines
The transformation caught the attention of the documentary's creators
who reached out to Faaborg about eight months ago
Though he was unsure if 110 Farm would be featured
he was eventually told it was "number one" on the crew's list
Founded by Tanner Faaborg's parents Tammy and Rand Faaborg
The operation allowed the Faaborg family to generate income while working together
"We were looking for extra income possibly
and it was quite a bit more money than we anticipated," Tammy Faaborg said
Tanner Faaborg said his parents didn't want to run the hog business anymore once the kids moved out
"It was taking a toll on their physical health
and they were thinking about retirement and environmental impact as well," Tanner Faaborg said
Tanner Faaborg was leading Urban Ambassadors at the time
a Des Moines nonprofit that strives to inspire sustainable living
He realized agriculture was falling behind in its sustainability efforts
and sought out his parents to initiate a change
knowing they didn't want the farm to sit empty and decay
what if I found a (sustainable) alternative?" Tanner Faaborg said
"Maybe I could purchase part of that land from you and do something else with those barns and the property."
Several members of the Faaborg family help operate the new and approved 1100 Farm
which satisfies Tanner Faaborg's goal of keeping the property within the family

Tanner Faaborg sorted through various business models to find the right non-livestock business, ultimately settling on the Transfarmation Project. The Mercy For Animals nonprofit helps farmers transition from industrial animal farming into a more sustainable plant-focused operation
Tanner Faaborg eventually fell in love with growing mushrooms and "went down the mushroom rabbit hole."
"I loved the versatility they presented; there's specialty mushrooms," Tanner Faaborg said
"I loved that we could grow and sell them as produce
but then we could also make products and focus on the medicinal benefits."
The farm's mushrooms are grown organically at a controlled temperature
Lion's Mane and Reishi mushrooms are being grown for tinctures, or herbal extracts to help with things like nerve pain and relaxation. The mushroom tinctures are available for purchase on 1100 Farm's website
They are fine-tuning a Lion's Mane coffee and mushroom salt that will be ready in August

He hopes the property's transformation inspires farmers to embrace environmentally conscious operations
"We're going to collect all the data and open source that," Tanner Faaborg said
"Hopefully other farmers can use that data
and we can be a catalyst for change in the agricultural world

Text description provided by the architects. With the opening of the Harbor Bath, the inner-city waterfront of Faaborg has finally opened for bathing and recreation / public activity
This new public space on the water adds a new dimension of re-creational activity to the beautiful South Funen Archipelago
The Harbour Bath is designed to tie a closer link between the city and the sea. Three thematic piers give room for everyone: toddlers, children and young people can go wild while others enjoy the view of Faaborg Fjord.
DiagramThe “finger plan” with open basins between the three piers, offers multiple ways to approach the water. The wooden piers form ramps, stairs, sitting opportunities and small pools for children.
Courtesy of Urban AgencyThe new development invites to take a bath, go on a kayak-tour, go for a walk or just sit in the sun or simply enjoy an exciting and active public space.
ElevationThe project invites for swimming and on-water actvity. It offers changing rooms and facilities for rowers, a diving platform, a water-playground and a sauna for the winter-bathers. The architects’ intention was not to over-program the project in advance, but to create a frame for an unknown content, a place for public life to unfold, the unexpected to happen, in other words a place that people can adapt in their own ways.
Courtesy of Urban AgencyFaaborg Harbour Bath has given the town of Faaborg a new public water-space that facilitates activity and attracts locals as well as visitors to swim and enjoy water sports or just experience the fantastic waterfront.
Courtesy of Urban AgencyThe project is collectively designed by URBAN AGENCY and JDS with the support of Sloth Møller Engineers and CREO ARKITEKTER A/S for the municipalify of Faaborg-Midtfyn with support from the Realdania Foundation and the Danish Foundation for Culture and Sports Facilities

the architect Carl Petersen hired Kaare Klint to help him design furniture for his Faaborg Museum on the island of Funen in Denmark
The collaboration resulted in the Faaborg chair – a design that would later be regarded as the first Danish modern design classic
Featuring a rounded backrest and curved back legs
the Faaborg chair takes its cues from classical Greek and Roman design
is its unadorned form; in stark contrast to the decorative Neoclassical aesthetic of its day
it features no ornamentation or superfluous detail at all
The Faaborg chair melds the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with the principles of Functionalist design: its simple
uncomplicated shapes are based on a knowledge of materials and handcrafted furniture
while its stability and proportions were achieved through mathematical principles and geometry
Presented to the public at the inauguration of the Faaborg Museum in 1915
for which it was made in an edition of 18 and placed in the museum’s main galleries
the chair was an integral part of the museum’s design
It was designed to be light and portable so that museum guests could easily place it before artworks
functional design and use of natural materials
the Faaborg chair is credited with bringing in a new era in Danish design
marking a shift away from a decorative aesthetic to more utilitarian forms
It has influenced generations of Danish designers and has come to embody the Danish modern aesthetic
The DNA of the Danish modern movement that became internationally known in the 1950s can be traced back to Faaborg chair
the Danish furniture company who manufactures the chair
says that Klint – who was just 26 when he co-designed it – was “way ahead of his time..
He has created something that is reminiscent of the past and modern at the same time.”
which involved extensive research into how to tailor furniture proportions to the human body
was carried on by the students he taught at the department of furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts – including the likes of Hans J
who would become important furniture designers in Denmark during the 1950s and 1960s
the Faaborg chair’s rounded backrest features a panel of rattan woven in a traditional pattern
which was chosen for its ability to bend inwards to support the sitter’s back
It originally featured a rattan seat so that the museum’s patterned floor tiles could be seen through it
it was replaced by a fixed seat in the early 1960s
the chair was made by hand by Rud Rasmussen
the joinery workshop in Denmark where Klint worked for many years
and which was bought by Carl Hansen in 2011
Today the parts for its frame are cut by machinery
but it is assembled by hand and its rattan panel is woven by a single craftsman
The Faaborg chair is one of the oldest in production today
yet it still looks modern and it has never been more popular
and it can fit into any style of house you can think of.”
CINCINNATI — Long before the most recent protests calling for racial justice started across the nation
11 women at the University of Cincinnati had begun the painful work of ending racist behaviors at UC
Associate Vice Provost Keisha Love launched the effort a year and a half ago to build and repair relationships between UC’s Black and white female faculty members
It grew out of Love’s work to help women of color advance within the university
she said she kept hearing about tensions and communication problems between white and Black female faculty
I have definitely had that experience,” Love said
“So I knew exactly what the women were talking about.”
A mutual friend introduced Love to Karen Faaborg
a retired UC professor and former senior-level administrator who is white
she worked on efforts to address racial tensions on campus but never saw much progress
is that we are the privileged,” she said of white female faculty
We are the ones who can make the difference.”
Love and Faaborg decided other women on campus could benefit from the kind of frank and open discussions the two of them had
a group of women comprised of three Black faculty and four white faculty began meeting with Love and Faaborg
while two UC staff members provided support
The women decided to name the group BRIDGE
for Building Racial Awareness and Insight through Dialogue and Education
Members of the group agreed to talk with WCPO
They said they hope the lessons they have learned and friendships they have built can serve as a model for others as Greater Cincinnati and the nation wrestle with racial disparities and vast gaps in understanding between white and Black people
WCPO interviewed Love and Faaborg together and conducted separate interviews with three other members of the group: Littisha Bates
associate dean for inclusive excellence and community partnership and associate professor of sociology in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences; Karen Bankston
an adjunct professor in UC’s College of Nursing; and Theresa Culley
a professor and head of UC’s Department of Biological Sciences
They all said the coronavirus pandemic has slowed the work of BRIDGE
arranged to help explain why the women decided to take part in the group
what they have learned from each other and what they hope will come next
all the work that I do around trying to create inclusive spaces
trying to create safe spaces but also ensuring there are spaces and opportunities for those who want to do the work to be able to do the work safely
“The ask for Black women to continually participate in this work
to continually participate in this emotional labor
Theresa Culley: “I have a really good friend and colleague in my department who happens to be African American
So when the Black Faculty Association was talking about this
they were trying to come up with names of white female faculty who
I had no clue of the challenges that female
Black faculty had in working with white female faculty
the more I realized that this is a huge problem.”
Karen Bankston: "I was happy that I got invited to participate
It’s an interesting way for Black and white women in an institution – and I’m utilizing the word institution beyond UC – to try to find a way to break some historical challenges that each face."
Karen Faaborg: “When I was first invited to that lunch meeting with our friend who got us together
“We shouldn’t just be sitting there with our hands folded
and it’s terrible.’ We have to do something
after all those many years of being in the faculty and an administrator trying to do something
I’m finally beginning to learn what I can do.”
Keisha Love: “We sort of put the issues out there on the table
“Some of the meetings we will read an article and will process the article together
It’s interesting to hear that the Black women in the group who read the article could have a completely different takeaway from the white women who read the article
and we bring those different perspectives to the table
“We have done things such as role plays and case studies
So what do you do when you’re sitting in the meeting and someone makes a racist comment or a sexist comment
“We’ve practiced those things so that we can be present for each other and support one another in those situations.”
Bates: “Even though we had white women in our group who were further along in our journey
but we were also able to get them to reflect on experiences that they didn’t read the same way we read them – such as the way white women weaponize their fragility
“Being in a meeting with a group of colleagues and having a visible disagreement with a white woman
which is just a disagreement among colleagues
But she becomes so upset that she begins to cry
“Her tears are now my burden because I have made this white woman cry
The stereotypes are now unleashed because I am the aggressor
“What we often like to point out in these situations is
‘I want you to reflect on what it is that has made you cry
What is it that you think I’m going to do to you in this meeting
What tropes are you pushing to in this place to respond to a collegial disagreement in this way
And to also think very carefully about how others in the room are responding to this display of your tears.”
‘What if I inadvertently say the wrong thing or offend someone in some way?’ Now I can say
we were sort of just still getting to know each other
We were going through case studies; the situation was something about tenure
“All the Black faculty viewed it through this particular lens that the white female faculty completely missed
All the Black female faculty were saying one thing
and the white female faculty were saying another thing
“I realized that I was just blindly going in and thinking one thing and just assuming that everyone around me was interpreting it the same way
Culley: “My 'aha moment' is that each of us have different life experiences that color our perception of the world
and it’s very difficult to understand and comprehend the experiences of others unless you put yourself in their place
Bankston: “What I learned was the significance of the generational difference between me and my younger Black colleagues
“The Black faculty who are in the group are in their 30s and 40s
So my transition is much different from theirs
and their anger is much different than mine
We shouldn’t have to do that.’ And you know what
“I’m opening up my mind and my heart and my pain to things I had kind of left behind because I just want to live my life.”
Bates: “One of the nice things about being in these spaces is I get a better understanding of how white women are reading situations
“They’re in some ways showing us the cards
So having a much better understanding of how white women show up to these spaces – I’m able to walk into situations with other white women and have a playbook
I have to be very strategic about how I navigate these spaces
“I am not suggesting that all white women are a monolith
But what I am suggesting is that white supremacy and white privilege is very predictable.”
Culley: “I think it would be absolutely wonderful if the university could be viewed externally by others within our African American community as somewhere students want to go
you really want to come up with the best ideas possible
You really need to reach out of your little safety box and consider all types of ideas
you need to have people who have the experiences of being in a different environment
I feel like the group for me personally has been helping me grow in the direction I need to
Faaborg: “Not all white women are able to do this
I think you have to be willing to let your guard down and listen
“What we white women now that are working with Keisha on this are learning to do is to start to become a sponsor
But there’s something about being a sponsor when you are in a faculty department and there’s a young Black woman in that department that we’ve hired because of her wonderful talents and abilities and background and knowledge and expertise
“We sit there and allow her to be the only Black person in the room and who when she tries to speak is sometimes interrupted
We have to step in – either in that moment or at a moment in a private office with someone later to say
Maybe you didn’t realize what you just did.’
there are jerks in the academy like there are everywhere
whether at the university or any other institution
Love: “There’s this perception that because white women are marginalized because of their gender
they understand the experiences of Black women
But there’s a complexity there because for Black women
we are oppressed by two identities: Being African American and being a woman
Bates: “We are the winners of the intersectional lottery – except there is no grand prize
And just because you don’t know doesn’t make you a bad person
That is super important to me as it relates to this work
in particular -- get paralyzed because they think as we talk about systematic oppression that they’re bad people
The message is that the system is not equitable
and we have the power to make a difference
So what are you able to do to contribute to that difference being made?”
Love: “This group really has served as a model for how you can bring people together
“We are proof that you can form true partnerships and true friendships across the races

I wish I had know so I could have visited her before she passed and attended her memorial
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers
May the healing gift of time and the timeless love of God hold you ever so gently during the coming months ahead
I am so sorry for the loss of your special Patty
My thoughts are with you and your daughters and grandchild at this difficult time
I wanted to express my sincere condolences for your loss
I understand more than most how important a supportive wife is in the kind of work you do
You couldn't have done your job without her strength and support
Prayers for your family as you spend this time celebrating Patty's life with your cherished memories
I pray your heart is filled with wonderful memories of Patty as one more angel enters heaven
sorry to hear of the loss of your mother-in-law
I hope that the memories you and your family keep in your heart will make this time a little easier
Know that Patty is with your mom watching over all of you
Cherish those memories and share them with your daughter often
The loss of a mom and Grandma is a difficult one but know she will always be with you
please take care of yourself and let your daughters spoil you
I hope your many memories will help you through this difficult time
I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your wife and life partner
My deepest sympathy to you and your extended family at this time
My thoughts and prayers to Randy and family
She touched so many lives and will be greatly missed
She raised two wonderful daughters who will do a great job carrying on the family traditions

Kjellander Sjöberg, one of the leading architectural practices in Scandinavia, in collaboration with GHB Landskabsarkitekter, Mogens A. Morgen, Realise and Tyréns, was selected to design a strategic development plan for Faaborg. The coastal town in southern Denmark is facing many challenges like a high risk of flooding and an important decrease in its population
Courtesy of Kjellander SjöbergKS or Kjellander Sjöberg, the multi-nationality office, led by partners Ola Kjellander, Stefan Sjöberg, Mi Inkinen, and Lena Viterstedt, along with their team focused on revitalizing 3 key areas: Slagterigrunden, Bangården, and Kulturområdet. Aiming to give each agglomeration its own distinct character, every entity presented different interventions.
the proposal suggests activating the coastline by securing the port and the medieval city center with various innovative types of coastal defense techniques
part of the city that is built on reclaimed land is to receive a modified foundation
“the Sundrännan culvert will be restored into an open channel where water can be regulated whilst recreating the original character of the landscape; a former peninsula in the southern archipelago of Funen”

The lesson for the day was about the letter O
Eleanor Faaborg works on an educational program on a laptop computer in her home’s activity room
Ethan Faaborg holds up his completed star chart
He gets a star for finishing academic goals
Ashley Faaborg is an elementary school assistant principal
so she knows a thing or two about creating an environment conducive to learning
she has worked from home and tried to create a structure and routine for her two young children
as they navigate a new reality at their home in a Warrenton subdivision
both attend Weems Elementary in Manassas where their mom works
Getting them motivated to do their assigned classwork – about an hour a day – and other enriching activities has sometimes been a challenge
accomplishing that goal and earning something for it is important
“I went to Walmart and I just bought a bunch of cheap prizes,” she said
She has a star system – 10 stars and you get a prize – to help the kids stay engaged in their progress
and they try to stick to the daily schedule that is posted on the refrigerator
he can play an hour of Minecraft the next morning
“That’s been a big motivator for him,” Faaborg said
He’s read six chapter-books so far during the school closures – the “I Survived” series is his favorite right now – earning him some Minecraft time in the mornings
Faaborg said that Eleanor is motivated more by relationships – it’s important for Eleanor to show her teacher that she is finishing assignments and understanding material
After the kids work on reading and math assignments in the mornings
Faaborg said she tries to have a different arts and craft project for the kids to look forward to
The craft projects don’t have to be elaborate or significantly different every day
just different enough to keep things fresh and interesting
the kids spend most of their days playing outside in the fenced-in backyard
with occasional breaks for a television show or another activity
Sometimes they watch a movie as a family after Dad gets home
the amount of time the kids spend in front of a screen has reduced since schools closed
since the kids have more energy for other activities than they did after seven hours of classroom time
incorporating each other into their respective worlds in ways that they didn’t before schools closed
“They’ll go play for half an hour – I feel like that didn’t happen before,” she said
the most important thing has been establishing a structure to each day
Ethan has a specific chair in his room where he reads each night
Eleanor always watches instructional material at the same laptop at a specific desk in their home’s activity room
“The biggest thing has been just having a routine,” Faaborg said

The numbered anniversary edition will include 100 walnut chairs
First presented in 1915 for the Faaborg Museum on the Danish island of Funen
the Faaborg Chair was the work of Kaare Klint
The ten-piece special edition will be crafted from burr wood
These will travel around the world as part of an international exhibition
'The chair's centennial offers the perfect occasion to pay tribute to Denmark's first modern design classic created by the father of Danish furniture design,' notes David Obel Rosenkvist
the numbered anniversary edition will be upholstered in exclusive black Niger leather
The wood used for this ten-piece special edition was obtained from an elm that stood in Rud
Rasmussen's back courtyard for a century and was felled 25 years ago
The design would later prove to be the first modern Danish design classic and go on to inspire a whole new generation
Rasmussen is known for its careful craftsmanship and superior quality

AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function
but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style
Some farmers have turned from livestock to crops to avoid the financial pitfalls and thorny ethics of industrial agriculture
leaving him saddled with debt and unsure of where to turn
“I didn’t know where to make money to pay off our loans.”
Lim was born in rural Cambodia, where his parents tended rice fields with water buffalos, raised a smattering of chickens and grew vegetables around their home. That lifestyle shaped his love of farming, but was a far cry from what he found himself doing as an adult, raising 540,000 chickens a year in North Carolina for Pilgrim’s Pride
one of the largest meat producers in the US that supplies chicken to Walmart
The longer he stayed in industrial-scale poultry farming, the more aware Lim became that it “hurt the environment” and that “many poultry farmers get sick due to breathing inside the [chicken] house”, he said, referencing the ways that the ammonia in factory-farmed chicken waste harms ecosystems and human health alike
View image in fullscreenTom Lim with his mushroom crop
Photograph: Courtesy of Transfarmation/Mercy for AnimalsBut he didn’t feel like he had other options – every season seemed to require a new loan from the bank to pay for an upgrade that Pilgrim’s Pride demanded but wouldn’t help pay for
“They told us that if we cannot upgrade what they want us to
The result was an endless cycle of debt that made leaving the business feel impossible
Many of the small farms that do remain are like Lim’s
running operations where growers take their orders from multinational agriculture companies
which often prioritize the bottom line over the health and wellbeing of growers
To make a living growing vegetables on my land is my dream
This is the healthy way of making foodTom LimLim is one of a number of farmers transitioning away from industrial animal agriculture in favor growing vegetables and mushrooms
Though Lim’s contract ending forced him to take a job off the farm, it opened him up to other possibilities of what he could do with his land. Lim and his wife, Sokchea, are currently in the process of converting their former chicken barns into greenhouses where they can grow vegetables
and they’ve already converted an old refrigerated truck bed into a specialty mushroom-growing chamber
“To make a living growing vegetables on my land is my dream,” he said
you go in there it just feels fresh and healthy.”
but the Lims had help through an organization called Transfarmation
which provides farmers with technical support and small grants of $10,000 to $20,000 on their journey to transition away from factory farming
(Watts had become troubled by the discrepancy between the picture that Perdue painted in its advertising and the conditions that Perdue chickens actually lived in
that [the consumers] needed to know what was happening,” he said.)
View image in fullscreenLeah Garces and Craig Watts
Photograph: Courtesy of Transfarmation/Mercy for AnimalsAccording to Transfarmation’s director
leaders at the organization realized that if they wanted to help end factory farming
they needed to create resources to help farmers do something else
“We’ve been told by the farmers that we work with that the biggest barrier is a knowledge gap
It’s very different raising chickens versus raising fresh fruits and vegetables
very different working for Tyson versus having to find your own customers,” said Whitley
Transfarmation is partnering directly with farmers like Lim and Watts to transition their farms, as well as paying them a small stipend to collect data about their transition that will be made freely available online for other farmers who want to make a similar pivot. The organization’s farmer resources hub includes reports and YouTube webinars for learning about programs in each US state
sample plans for turning a shipping container into a mushroom-growing chamber
and guides on how to sell to restaurants and retailers and at farmers’ markets
Tanner Faaborg grew up on a farm in rural Iowa where his parents contracted with a commercial pig farming operation
the Faaborgs soon found themselves stuck on what Tanner described as a financial “treadmill”
where the operation was always requiring that they invest money to upgrade or fix something but never delivering high enough returns

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Iowa has one of the highest cancer rates in the country
and we have constantly contaminated wells,” he said
“And so I started talking to my parents about it,” he said, first convincing them to install a solar array on their land, and then more recently, to get out of the hog business altogether and start growing mushrooms. The farm recently began selling its fresh specialty mushrooms as well as mushroom products like tinctures and mushroom salts
former livestock farmers – many of whom are not opposed to eating meat – and an animal rights non-profit that promotes veganism might seem like an odd pairing
But whether the players involved were first animated by concern about the exploitation of animals
they end up having enough in common to work together
“What we find is that the more that you talk to a farmer about why they want to exit and what they dislike about the system
View image in fullscreenTanner Faaborg with his crop
Photograph: Courtesy of Transfarmation/Mercy for AnimalsIt’s still too early to declare any of these farm transitions a resounding success
Watts and the Lims will be able to find the market to financially support their new endeavors
But they all seem encouraged at what could be possible
and appreciate the solidarity that comes from knowing they’re not alone
Faaborg recalls the feeling he had when they first installed solar panels on his parents’ farm – their neighbors were skeptical
and some even made fun of what seemed like a hare-brained idea
and Faaborg noticed that some of those same skeptics began installing solar equipment on their own land
He hopes that his family can once again influence their little corner of the agricultural landscape by shutting down their Cafos in favor of something gentler on themselves and on the land they farm
and then showcase that change is possible,” he said
Detail of the unique grain of the elm burl.Klint was only 26 years old when he designed the chair
almost two decades before he produced his iconic Safari chair
He would go on to be widely credited as the father of Danish modernism
after helping to establish the department of furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the 1920s
To celebrate the Faaborg chair’s 100th anniversary
Noting that the original 18 chairs designed for the museum were made from oak burl wood
a distinctive material no longer used in contemporary versions of the chair
the manufacturer decided to make a limited edition of ten chairs in elm burl wood
no ordinary elm burl would do—the wood came from a tree that stood on Rud
Rasmussen’s property for a century before being felled 25 years ago and stored in the basement awaiting a special project
Kaare Klint (1888–1954) designed the Faaborg chair in 1915.“It was the elm tree that had been growing in the courtyard of the workshop
overseeing generations of designers and craftsmen,” says Rosenkvist
The company is also producing a numbered anniversary edition of 100 chairs in oiled walnut

I had a chance to catch up with Google VR’s Alex Faaborg at the Casual Connect conference where he talked about some of the VR design best practices
some of the early survey results from Google showing an average VR play time of 30 minutes per session
the differences between Tango and Daydream app design
social norms of using VR around other people
and the future of conversational interfaces

Unfortunately there are still a lot of VR products be released which dont fulfill those needs as the devs just worked in their old fashion way
im waiting for the release of DayDream device and i prefer to have Google’s own one with also Tango enabled as I devlop for both techs and realy know those issues AR has without proper environment tracking
it really limits the AR app with at least 50% of what it could have been

Kevin Caldwell sells the all-electric Leaf
Driving one is basically the same as driving a typical gasoline or gas-electric hybrid car
except for a few new features like the semi-autonomous hands-free option
And the fact that you plug it in rather than pumping gas into it
About a quarter to a third of Caldwell’s Leaf customers are farmers
Nissan manager Kevin Caldwell demonstrates the pro-pilot autonomous function of the electric Leaf during a test drive
“You typically get two types of customers,” he said
“The customers that are more environmentally conscious and they want to lower their carbon footprint versus the customer that is simply wanting to not have to worry about gas prices.”
One million electric cars were sold in the U.S
and while states with stricter emissions standards
plenty can be seen on the road even in central Iowa
About 40 percent of the corn grown in the United States gets turned into ethanol for gasoline
but the demand to reduce fossil-fuel emissions could bring pretty drastic changes to agriculture in the Corn Belt
Think acres of corn replaced by perennial crops or the return of small grains such as oats and wheat
Lee Tesdell is all-in for reducing his carbon footprint
He began installing solar panels on his farm in Polk County
“And all the time I was thinking that I would like to drive an electric car,” he said
“so that my solar electrical production would be part of the fuel for my electric car.”
he bought an all-electric Chevy Bolt for his commute
Government-backed ethanol has been a boon to corn farmers
but Tesdell said it’s led to overproduction
which in turn has kept corn prices low the past several years
“I would like to see corn acres reduced by quite a lot in Iowa and more diversification,” Tesdell said
Kevin Caldwell has seen interest in the electric Leaf grow
with a variety of conservation practices as well as raising sheep and growing alfalfa
He also has dozens of acres he rents out to a farmer who plants corn and soybeans
They’ve discussed other possible crops
such as industrial hemp or cereal rye for cover crop seed
but they’re still in the research stage
It’s risky and can be hugely expensive to change a crop rotation
Transitioning away from corn and into alternative crops could have multiple benefits for farmers and the environment
First, from a business standpoint, farmers need to anticipate market changes, according to Trevor Russell, water program director at Friends of the Mississippi River
“Let's not be left holding the ball on 40 percent of our corn crop that doesn't have a market and can't get sold anywhere,” Russell said
“That would be an economic catastrophe for farmers and for rural communities that rely on agricultural economies and for
And secondly, different crops like kernza wheat or the oilseed camelina could help clean up polluted waterways and nurture depleted soils
But Russell said it’s going to take the same types of government policies and incentives that expanded ethanol to establish viable markets for other crops
farmers – and their creditors – won’t see new crops as potentially profitable and won’t be able to invest in the necessary changes
Russell is actively forming partnerships with agricultural groups and said his advocacy for water quality has morphed into an agriculture policy job as he works to help develop these new markets
because even though no one can predict the timeline for the transition to electric cars
“Retooling our cropping system to respond to that is going to take longer than the transition to electric vehicles will take,” Russell said
“So we need to start yesterday.”
Fuels Institute executive director John Eichberger addresses the 2019 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit on Jan
John Eichberger of the Washington, D.C.-based Fuels Institute attended the 2019 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit to discuss what he foresees in the transition to electric cars
He told ethanol-industry experts not to panic … yet
it's gotta be electric,’ or ‘It's gotta be liquid,’” Eichberger said of the future of cars
“It's probably going to be a combination for a long time because we're not going to transition 100 percent.”
That’s something Rand Faaborg knows well
He’s a welder by trade and commutes 20 miles one-way past acres and acres of corn fields every day in a used 2012 Nissan Leaf
and charges the car in his barn.
Rand Faaborg drives his Nissan Leaf 40 miles a day and charges it overnight
I still use a lot of gas,” said Faaborg
who joked that no one predicted he’d be the first one in the work parking lot with an electric vehicle
He’s proud of his rural Iowa roots; his father-in-law and daughter also farm
And electric will overtake all the automobiles very shortly
Faaborg is equally confident farmers will be able to adapt to an eventual reduced market for corn

creo architects and sloth-møller engineers have won first prize to design the new faaborg harbour bath in the south of fyn
revolving around the idea of creating an open sea bathing area
the branch-like design includes changing rooms
a sauna and a 300 square meter meeting point for boat tourism on land
with various functions defined by a pier in the bath
the resulting ‘finger plan’ generates open basins between four baths bridges of different width and length
and informal sitting opportunities in staged platforms create a number of different settings around the water
the new bath will be a point of interest for the town of faaborg
serving as a public water space which attracts visitors and invites the locals to enjoy water sports
