Climate Leaders Summit 2009.
Climate Leaders Summit Opening Commitment Session.
H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
On August 9, 2010, the incoming first-year law students began their Legal Analysis course and took the Pledge of Professional Commitment, administered by Judge Edmondson of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
2015 was a banner year for international commitments to address climate change. However, as countries take steps to implement National Adaptation Plans and cut emissions, policymakers and practitioners may find themselves grappling with the unintended consequences of climate action. How climate responses are developed and implemented could increase the vulnerability of populations and contribute to political instability. As part of an ongoing effort by ECSP to investigate the conflict and peacebuilding potential of climate change, including “Backdraft: The Conflict Potential of Climate Change Adaptation and Migration” and A New Climate for Peace: Taking Action on Climate and Fragility Risks, join us in a roundtable discussion on current efforts to understand the potential “backdraft” effect of responses to climate change.

If commitment and passion for local foods were a recipe, Nutrition Director Chad Elliott and the Decorah Community School District would have all the right ingredients.
Elliott and his staff are especially excited about their culinary plans for district diners to celebrate Iowa Local Food Day. But then every day in this school district is local food day and that is what makes them extraordinary.
And it doesn’t get any more local than out the back door 10 feet from the district’s central kitchen. Decorah High School’s gardens produce nearly enough kale for the district for the entire year thanks to the dedication of staff who lead student garden crews and the implementation of a greenhouse on a track that rolls over the raised kale beds extending the growing season.
Students of all ages are involved in a variety of steps in growing and preparing local food for the district. The garden produced 100 pounds of garlic that students helped peel, process, and put in four-ounce containers to freeze for use in recipes throughout the year. The same was done with fresh basil.
For Local Food Day 2022, Decorah is featuring local meat donated by a nearby beef operation, burgers from a local food hub, local wheat for breakfast pizza, local roasted potatoes, local pears and local caramel apples.
Elliott said a key ingredient for success with local foods is to start on a small scale. He first established a relationship with a local orchard and then tried to add a new local food to the menus each year.
“It’s a no brainer for us every day,” Elliott said. “The price is right and we adjust the workload and try to balance it. We have a plan for every day depending on what preparation is required for a particular menu. It is just one more way to do good for our community. We want to support our local farmers. We like doing local food day because it is a chance for us to announce and publicize our local food commitment.”
"Lest we Forget"
Today we remember hero's past and present
Tomorrow they carry on fighting for our freedom

This image is from a series I took of a set of African figurines that my mother owns called Ebony Visions. The idea first came to me when I took a picture of one called Rose Beauty for a photography class. My peers were very excited and had nothing but good things to say and one word that kept coming up was "uncanny". So with this series I wanted to capture these figurines as if they were real people.
