Art~Whimsically Yours" Summer Calls Me. "-by Matthew F. Blowers IIIWatch the video at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2ZoDXT4qL8
Summer calls me
from its faraway places
I can taste it on my tongue
I can still smell it vaguely
wafting up from the storage
vaults of my senses
I remember that shimmering heat
as it enhanced the sweet
cherry scent of a sno-cone
melting in the sun
and how it mixed with the tang
of salty ocean breezes
I recall quite fondly
the coconut/Faberge blend
of oiled perfume from the girl
sunning on a towel next to mine
the spearmint taste of her kiss

Shaping the Post-COVID WorldOpportunities for Stronger and Sustainable Post-Pandemic Growth in Latin America and the CaribbeanContributor(s): Dr Eduardo Cavallo, Marla Dukharan, Dr Andrew Powell, Professor Andrés Velasco | The year 2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging in modern history. Latin America and the Caribbean lost 7.4% of GDP, the largest drop on record in a single year. The region is expected to recover in 2021 but faces a hazardous time ahead. Most countries will require some type of adjustment to maintain fiscal sustainability. While the way forward will be challenging, specific public policies should help countries realize a stronger recovery, not just to the low growth rates of the pre-pandemic period, but to h...

While the European Union has a considerable stake in the crisis, particularly in the Eurozone, it is national states which have been the politically primary actors in calling for lockdowns across Europe. Real coercive power still lies, it seems, with Europe’s nations. What repercussions has this reassertion of national political power had on public opinion across Eu...

The UK has set 31 December 2020 as the deadline for negotiating its future relationship with the European Union and, if it wishes to extend that deadline, it must inform Brussels by 30 June 2020. With governments generally struggling to manage the pandemic, with time for little else, that schedule looks even more challenging. But the pandemic is likely to impact the negotiating agenda in key sectors in ways not previously envisaged. So: is the timescale still practicable? And, must we...

LSE Middle East Centre PodcastsHigh-Risk Activism and Popular Struggle Against the Israeli Occupation of the West BankSpeaker: Joel Beinin , Stanford University
Chair: John Chalcraft, LSE
Since 2002, local Palestinian popular committees have led a grass roots struggle against the separation barrier Israel has constructed, mostly on Palestinian land inside the West Bank. Israelis and internationals have joined this social movement. Using Doug McAdam’s conception of “high-risk activism” (derived from his study of the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project of 1964) Joel Beinin explores the history of the struggle and the motivations of Israelis for participating in it. Recorded on 4 November 2014.
