Foreign Visitors

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me.

Columbia students set up new anti-israel encampment on campus during alumni weekend: ‘we’re back bitches’.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Students at Columbia University set up a new anti-Israel encampment on campus Friday night as the school hosts alumni weekend.

The defiant demonstrators — members of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine — set up camp on the Manhattan campus’ south lawns alongside a giant white party tent already in place for the alumni event festivities that end Saturday.

“We’re back bitches,” declared one sign the protesters put up, video from the New York Times shows .

Another banner redesignated the area — for the third time — a “Liberated Zone.”

Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine confirmed the latest encampment at the Ivy League school in a Friday night social media post.

They are once again demanding that the school divest from Israel-associated companies, amid the Jewish state’s ongoing retaliatory military offensive in Gaza.

Shortly after the encampment was erected, Columbia security guards moved in and began removing some of the tents, according to the student newspaper , The Columbia Spectator.

The protesters, about two dozen or so, then began sitting in other tents so they could not be removed and chanted “shame” at the security personnel, the paper reported.

“We are aware of the encampment erected this evening and are monitoring the situation. We remain committed to hosting a successful weekend for our alumni,” a university spokesperson said in a statement.

Columbia’s alumni weekend kicked off on Thursday. Campus events conclude Saturday night and the weekend comes to a close with a Sunday morning mass at the Church of Notre Dame.

The spring semester for Columbia College, the university’s liberal arts undergraduate school, concluded on May 10. The activists seem undeterred by their low numbers.

“Columbia University thinks that just because it’s the summer, they don’t have as many classes, they don’t have as many students, … that we’re tired, that we’re scared, that we’re not going to be on their campus because they have a few ID checks. They’re wrong,” an organizer said, according to the Columbia Spectator.

The Morningside Heights campus remains open only to Columbia University ID holders, according to the paper.

On April 30, NYPD officers swarmed Columbia’s campus and cleared out the encampment as well as the university’s Hamilton Hall, which had been taken over by rogue rioters. More than 100 people were arrested — many of them not affiliated with the university.

A little over a week earlier, another 100 protesters were hauled away by police as they dismantled the first campus encampment — but demonstrators returned the following day.

Elsewhere in the Big Apple on Friday, hundreds of anti-Israel protesters stormed the Brooklyn Museum , flying a banner from the top of the building and damaging artwork in the process. Several people were seen being taken into custody.

Earlier in the day hundreds of New York City high school students walked out of school and staged a pro-Palestinian protest outside of the Department of Education headquarters t the Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan.

Extension crop and pest reports (may 27-31).

Extension Educator in Platte and Boone Counties

Rainfall slowed down a little in the area, allowing good conditions for planting.

Corn — Corn planting is pretty much done, with a few fields yet to be planted with soybeans. Corn is around VE-V3 and soybean VE-V2.

Alfalfa — Alfalfa weevil was confirmed in the region. 

The accumulated rainfall amounts since mid-March have increased moisture content to full capacity in most parts of the region. This is a much better scenario compared with last year's dry spring, in which many growers started their irrigation system in early June to compensate for the drought. Check this article in which we talk about the impact of rainfall on soil available moisture. 

Ron Seymour

Extension Educator in Adams, Kearney, Franklin and Webster Counties

Soil moisture conditions have improved because of recent rainfall. This has resulted in many crop fields with moist spots on the low ends.

Pastures have also improved but moisture has soaked in through only the top 12 inches.

Soybean — Soybean planting has been lagging behind because of wet field conditions. About 60% of the crop has been planted with about 30% emergence. The emerged plants are in the VC-V1 growth stages.

Corn — Field corn planting is mostly complete and about 90% of the plants have emerged. Most of plants are in the V3-V4 growth stages. A few farmers have begun sidedress nitrogen applications.

Wheat — Wheat fields are generally in the bloom to milk stages. A few fields have a low level of leaf rust infection.

TJ Prochaska

Extension Educator in Colfax, Butler and Polk Counties

Soybean — Soybean planting is likely to wrap during the upcoming week, weather permitting.

Significant wind damage occurred from last week’s storm with many pivots down in the area. That is especially true between Fremont and Columbus. Other damage was observed in the area, so local growers have been on clean-up duty. The National Weather Service did confirm a small tornado in Colfax County. Heavy and rapid rainfall lead to some washouts in local fields, along with flash flooding in some areas.

Extension Educator in the Panhandle

Irrigation water deliveries through the main canal system in the North Platte Valley continue as growers irrigate crops. Snowpack melt runoff continues in the upper region of the North Platte River system. Irrigation water outlook continues to be favorable for the region this season.

Sugarbeets — Sugarbeets have emerged and are doing well.

Corn — Corn planting is completed and emerging.

Wheat — Winter wheat is heading out across most of the Panhandle and overall looks good.

Dry Beans — Dry bean planting is starting and should be completed in the next several weeks.

Alfalfa — Some first cutting alfalfa is taking place. Minimal reports of alfalfa weevil across the area.

Sunflower and millet planting to start in several weeks. Miller moths are starting to show up and peak flight is not expected for several weeks. Severe weather was forecasted for May 29 — hope to avoid the hail! Warmer temperatures forecasted for next week.

Kayla Safarik

Extension Educator in Valley, Blaine, Loup, Garfield, Wheeler, Custer, Greeley, Sherman and Howard Counties

Portions of Howard and Sherman counties in central Nebraska received rainfall totals of over four inches in a matter of a few hours Thursday morning, May 30. In some areas — specifically low-lying areas and along waterways — flash flooding was an issue. Many communities are also dealing with completely covered roads and flooded fields.

With many farmers finished or close to finishing planting, there are lots of questions regarding how germinating and emerging crops will do. Crop survival will depend on crop growth stage, duration of flooding, air-soil temperature, and how well the field can drain. Unfortunately, now we have to just wait and see how the crop looks after the water recedes and hope for cooler temperatures.

Since most corn emerged is prior to V6 (VE-V3), it is expected that plants can survive under water for two to four days if temperatures do not exceed 77°F. For emerging soybeans, flooding during vegetative stages will result in minimal yield losses if flooding lasts less than 48 hours. If flooded for four to five days, fewer nodes develop and plants will be shorter. If flooded for six or more days, possible stand and yield loss.

Nebraska Extension has additional resources regarding flooding and replant considerations available online on CropWatch.

Online Master of Science in Agronomy

With a focus on industry applications and research, the online program is designed with maximum flexibility for today's working professionals.

About the Program

Biochemistry, the chemistry of living things, addresses the basic materials and processes of life itself. Biochemists investigate the chemical nature of such fundamental processes as the regulation of gene expression, the hormonal control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Knowledge of the molecular underpinnings of biological materials allows us to understand life processes and solve basic biological problems.

Students in the Department of Biochemistry, historically situated in the College of Agriculture, enjoy close mentoring by faculty through smaller class sizes and academic advising. Another strength of our program is that we strongly promote hands-on research and critical thinking skills. All students in the department participate in undergraduate research supervised by a faculty member.

There is also an opportunity to complete a five-year dual degree with biological engineering following acceptance into the College of Engineering.

World Language Courses

World Language proficiency requirements vary by program. The following list is inclusive of all world languages PWL offers for credit; for acceptable languages and proficiency levels, see your advisor. (ASL-American Sign Language; ARAB-Arabic; CHNS-Chinese; FR-French; GER-German; GREK-Greek(Ancient); HEBR-Hebrew(Biblical); HEBR-Hebrew(Modern); ITAL-Italian; JPNS-Japanese; KOR-Korean; LATN-Latin; PTGS=Portuguese; RUSS-Russian; SPAN-Spanish)

Critical Course

The ♦ course is considered critical.

In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.”

The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.
