Blueberries

I  love.
You.

I cannot explain.
42 is as good  an explanation
As any

I feel.
I feel you,
It makes perfect sense
Without any understanding
Beyond what I feel,
When I feel
You.

It makes me happy,
Between two tears,
Un-cried,
And two screams,
 Muffled
By the breeze of your hair.

You,
Are in me.

And I want,
I want
You
In the light,
So you can see
Me
While I crush a blueberry
On your lips,
And you  can ask
"Why?"
And I  can reply
"Because I long for
The scent of your lips
On my blueberries"

Pablo Cecil, sometime this  century.

A Scholarly Sting Operation Shines a Light on ‘Predatory’ Journals - The New York Times

The applicant’s nom de plume was not exactly subtle, if you know Polish. The middle initial and surname of the author, Anna O. Szust, mean “fraudster.” Her publications were fake and her degrees were fake. The book chapters she listed among her publications could not be found, but perhaps that should not have been a surprise because the book publishers were fake, too.

Yet, when Dr. Fraud applied to 360 randomly selected open-access academic journals asking to be an editor, 48 accepted her and four made her editor in chief. She got two offers to start a new journal and be its editor. One journal sent her an email saying, “It’s our pleasure to add your name as our editor in chief for the journal with no responsibilities.”

Little did they know that they had fallen for a sting, plotted and carried out by a group of researchers who wanted to draw attention to and systematically document the seamy side of open-access publishing.

Trump said he had $315 million in debt. He left out $1.5 billion.

A report this afternoon (01.05.2017) from the Wall Street Journal, however, revealed that Trump’s disclosure was the tip of the iceberg. The FEC required Trump only to report debt from entities he fully controls. The disclosure left out “more than $1.5 billion lent to partnerships that are 30%-owned by him.” That debt has been securitized and is owed to at least 150 financial entities.
These financial institutions include many firms that are under the scrutiny of the federal agencies that Trump will soon control. Wells Fargo, for example, which services over $900 million in loans connected to Trump, “is currently facing scrutiny from federal regulators surrounding its fraudulent sales practices and other issues.”
Trump will soon appoint the top regulators who will be responsible for scrutinizing the bank’s conduct.

Cornford: Microcosmographia Academica

 If you are young, do not read this book; it is not fit for you; 

If you are old, throw it away; you have nothing to learn from it;
If you are unambitious, light the fire with it; you do not need its guidance.But, if you are neither less than twenty-five years old, nor more than thirty;
And if you are ambitious withal, and your spirit hankers after academic politics;
Read, and may your soul (if you have a soul) find mercy!
