I didn't see it :/ You don't have to do it again, I already know your taste is 💯

Aww, thank you very much! 💖

I can kinda recreate this music essay, cause I don't have nothing better to do atm anyway. You asked me about top 10 bands/musicians, so I mentioned some:

1. Alice in chains/Jerry Cantrell solo

2. Cocteau Twins

3. Liz Phair

4. Janis Joplin

5. No Doubt

6. Type 0 Negative

7. Stone Temple Pilots

8. Marillion (in the 80s)

9. Rose Chronicles

10. Jane's Addiction, Days of The New, Faith No More and Mike Patton in general, Jeff Buckley, Soundgarden, Mazzy Star, Tears for Fears, The Doors, Pixies, Sting, Joan Jett, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Candlebox, Sinead O' Connor, Love Spirals Downwards, Led Zeppelin, Fiona Apple, The Who, INXS, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dax Riggs...

I'm struggling with chosing a top 10, cause I love so many bands and musicians, but those I mentioned I've been listening for a very long time and they are just special to me. As you probably noticed my music taste is quite diverse. If you shuffle my music there could be, for example, Kylie Minogue next to Black Sabbath or Sade next to Bauhaus and I love them all. If I'd have to choose my fav musicians I would definitely mention members of Tool, they're are amazing. My fav guitarist beside Jerry Cantrell is probably Zakk Wylde and maybe John Frusciante. And maybe Steve Vei. I love Tina Weymouth's bass (Talking Heads), Courtney Love's lyrics, Ginger Baker's and Neil Peart's (Rush) drumming style... There are so many geniuses, I can't limit myself. I'm sure I forgot to mention someone I admire.

US drops discrimination lawsuit against Yale

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/us-drops-discrimination-lawsuit-against-yale/

US drops discrimination lawsuit against Yale

The lawsuit was originally filed in October when the department, led by then-Attorney General William Barr, alleged: “Yale rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race.”

The decision to drop this lawsuit is the latest move by the Biden administration to change its positions in several cases that are pending in federal courts around the country. The new administration also recently asked the Supreme Court to pause arguments in cases involving the US-Mexico border wall and US asylum policy.

The case against Yale came on the heels of a similar case against Harvard University, where an anti-affirmative action group sued the university claiming their admissions practices discriminated against Asian American students. Lower courts ruled Harvard does not discriminate in its admission decisions.

“The department has dismissed its lawsuit in light of all available facts, circumstances, and legal developments, including the November 2020 decision by the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit rejecting a challenge to Harvard University’s consideration of race in its admissions practices,” a DOJ spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson said the department has also “withdrawn its notice letter finding that Yale’s practices violate Title VI” of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which “prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance.”

“The department’s underlying investigation to ensure Title VI compliance is ongoing,” they added.

The school said later Wednesday that it was “gratified” by the department’s decision, adding that the government’s original opposition to its policies last year “cut off an exchange of information that Yale looks forward to resuming.”

“Our admissions process has allowed Yale College to assemble an unparalleled student body, which is distinguished by its academic excellence and diversity,” Karen Peart, a spokeswoman for the school, said in a statement. “Yale has steadfastly maintained that its process complies fully with Supreme Court precedent, and we are confident that the Justice Department will agree.”

The Trump administration brought the Yale lawsuit as part of its push against universities that factor race into admissions decisions, and it came after a two-year civil rights investigation spurred by a complaint by Asian American groups.

The department said last year that the school’s admissions process is a violation of the Civil Rights Act, and that Yale must stop the use of race or national origin in its upcoming admissions cycle or get signoff on a plan that continues to use it from the department, officials told the school.

The Supreme Court has long upheld campus affirmative action, permitting universities to consider the race of an applicant among many factors, toward the goal of greater campus diversity, and forbidding racial quotas in admissions.

Edward Blum, a conservative anti-affirmative action lawyer and the president of Students for Fair Admissions, said Wednesday that it was “disappointing” that the government withdrew from the case and vowed to launch a new lawsuit against the school.

“Students for Fair Admissions intends to file a new lawsuit against Yale in the coming days. Discriminatory admissions policies like Yale’s must be challenged in federal court,” Blum said in a statement.

Blum’s group is behind the lawsuit targeting Harvard’s admissions policies.

Niyati Shah, the director of litigation at Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC, applauded the DOJ’s decision to drop the lawsuit, saying Asian Americans were being used to divide communities of color.

“Students should be able to share their lived experiences during the admissions process and not have to hide who they are,” Shah said in a statement.

“Everybody should have the opportunity to talk about their lived experiences, and if that means talking about their Asian American identity or their other racial identities, it creates an inclusive learning environment,” she added.

Iona High - rising from little to a tower of strength

New Post has been published on https://goodnewsjamaica.com/education/iona-high-rising-from-little-to-a-tower-of-strength/

Iona High - rising from little to a tower of strength

Named after an island in Scotland called the Isle of Iona, where it is said the missionaries who first went there burnt their ships upon arrival, pledging never to return from whence they came, the Iona High School in Tower Isle, St Mary, has established itself as a burgeoning institution, rising from humble origins.

This year the school community celebrates the 70th anniversary of the institution’s founding in 1949 by Gwendolyn Swaby and her husband, Dr Herbert Swaby.

Giving some of the school’s history, veteran teacher and member of the planning board for a year-long celebration, Joyce Williams told the Jamaica Observer that Iona High was originally called the Folk High School and was first located at Lucky Hill, otherwise known as Goshen, in the hills of western St Mary.

Williams, who first went to the school in 1955 as a Home Economics teacher, and who worked under the tutelage of the Swabys, said the school has lived up to the purpose of its founding and continues to grow.

Members of the Iona high school Key Club take a group shot during their regular weekly meeting. 

“I think it is wonderful that the school after 70 years, has continued, and is not only continuing but is also growing and keeps adhering to what the founder, Mr Swaby intended for this school, which is to provide an education for the poor; persons who could not afford an education at the time. He wanted to see poor, people rise above where they were and prepare them to live a life that was comfortable and in the end, make a contribution to society. The school continues to do that,” Williams said.

Having started with just four students, three girls and a boy, Iona High School is now 840 students strong, with pupils who are brimming with their own potential and achievements, also aiming to overcome the challenges.

Principal Melva Humes-Johnson, who has been at the institution for 19 years, described the milestone as “a major feat”.

“According to the word of God, 70 is really significant, and the founders had such a vision that anywhere they are now, they must be feeling very good to know that we have continued and we are growing,” said Humes-Johnson, listing some of the school’s achievements over the years.

“We have seen marked academic improvement. for example, the last set of students we sent up for CSEC, we have seen 65 per cent of those students gaining certification in CSEC. In some subjects, there have been 100 per cent pass, and 80 per cent pass in other areas.

“We do extremely well in business subjects. We have also seen over 70 per cent pass in English language. We are still working on mathematics, and we have put in many things to improve it and we have made our adjustments,” Humes-Johnson said.

The school also has a thriving extra-curricular programme, offering a chess and math club as well as a debating society that has gone up against the prominent Wolmer’s Gilrs’ School, defeating them at least once in competition. The school choir also placed second in the 2015 staging of the All Together Sing competition, and was the first high school to make it to the finals of the Dancing Dynamitecompetition placing third. All this and more, despite the lack of structural support, said Humes-Johnson.

“This is against the fact that the school does not have a theatre arts teacher. In the last set of JCDC competition we were very outstanding in the dance that we submitted, and went through to nationals. We also entered Boys’ and Girls Champs, and Eastern Champs where we split the 22 schools that participated, placing 11th, and we don’t have an on-the-ground coach. We also entered volleyball for the first time and we were called upon to be in the tournament and we went right up to semi-finals. So we know that we have talents here, where if we put certain things in place and if we get the help that we need, we would go very far,” said Humes-Johnson.

As part of the Ministry of Education’s thrust to extend schooling by two years, the school also offers exit examination certification through the Centre of Occupational Studies, in collaboration with the Moneague College, as well as the CAP (Career Advancement Programme).

Vice-Principal, Joan Peart-Armstrong told the Sunday Observer that the school has it fair share of challenges, but that the close to 60 staff members, comprising academic, administrative and ancillary, along with the students and parents, all work as a family.

“We refer to ourselves as the Iona family, so we have that type of atmosphere here. Whether it’s the parents or students, we see them as part of the family and we treat them accordingly.

“We have our students who are challenging, and where you find in some other schools they are quick to get rid of them, we work with them to find ways to find out what is happening at home, working with the parents, involving the guidance counsellor and so on to see what we can do to help those students to settle down and do well.

“Some of our students do better at the practical subjects, but because social issues and financial problems at home we from time to time, put our hands in our own pockets. We are in the tourism belt, so therefore, we try to guide them in that area so they can find jobs,” Peart-Armstrong said.

Physically, the Vice Principal also admitted that the student population has exceeded the school’s capacity, requiring at least six additional classrooms. But perhaps an interesting twist to this dilemma is the scenic beauty of the immaculate school campus. Perched on a slope overlooking the Caribbean Sea, having to sometimes host classes outside for want of classrooms offers much consolation.

“The environment in which we work, it is very pleasing to the eye and it creates that atmosphere of calm, relaxation. No matter how challenging things become, and we do have our challenges at this school, I can always step outside after dealing with a disciplinary matter. or just having work on my desk, I can step outside and I look out at the sea and I look around at the greenery and it brings some amount of calm,” said Peart-Armstrong

Student and member of the Key Club, Dejourn Lawrence shared that her school environment was something she and her peers were most proud of.

“We love our school grounds most of all. It’s always clean and during exam time or when we don’t have a classroom, we can just sit outside and enjoy the breeze.”

Long-standing groundsman, Linford Davis or “Mr Steppa” as he is called by the school community, has been awarded most outstanding worker at least three times by the Ministry of Education, and continues to serve the institution although he retired in 2016.

“From you come and see how the school look, you know that I love my job,” Davis said.

The school’s celebration kicks off today with a church service. There will also be a homecoming week in June, when a wall of fame in honour of those who have contributed to the growth of the school, will be erected. As part of the celebration, there will also be a pilgrimage to Lucky Hill.

“What we are going to do is place a plaque in Goshen in the church, which will state that the school was founded there and that continues in Tower Isle as the Iona High School,” Williams told the Sunday Observer.

The celebrations will end in November with a Founders’ Lecture.
