Entre las múltiples imágenes que han deparado los lamentables incidentes en Francia, esta fitografía ha pasado desapercibida. El dueño de una librería en París mantiene su local abierto a pesar de los disturbios. Se sienta impertérrito mientras la calle ha sido escenario de una batalla urbana. Entre los saqueos, nadie se fija en una librería.

The transformation of Manhattan, New York City 🇺🇸
ALT This 1931 aerial view of Manhattan captures the peak of New York’s "Skyscraper Race." The newly completed Empire State Building towers over Midtown as a lonely sentinel, having surpassed the Art Deco Chrysler Building. The skyline features the iconic "wedding cake" setbacks mandated by the 1916 Zoning Resolution. In the distance, Central Park sits as an engineered oasis, while the waterfront remains lined with industrial docks, marking a snapshot of growth just before the Great Depression.

What’s next for @DrJBHenderson? Tech’s president said he plans to relocate to Florida after he retires in December to continue his career as an educator by homeschooling his grandkids. #lalege #lagov

Why you’re seeing Louisiana doing this, despite this not being a unique problem, is likely because 1) we’re a poor state 2) we have a disproportionate # of D1 programs 3) we have a separate higher ed fiscal problem and 4) the entire state budget is also in a sensitive place
The University of Louisiana System hired a consultant to see if its member schools, like LA Tech, should leave NCAA D1 (via @ByPiperHutch)
So... Should financially struggling Athletic Depts drop to FCS or even D2 or D3??
*(literally 94% of the NCAA is financially struggling)

Vapor de pasajeros de ultramar en Puerto Nuevo en 1935 en el que han arribado en tercera clase para radicarse en Argentina, más de mil inmigrantes europeos. Muchos llegan con pasaje de llamada de parientes que los precedieron, y para todos será la patria de sus hijos y nietos.

Map of New Amsterdam (present-day Manhattan, New York) in 1660.
The border wall is where modern Wall Street is now located.
ALT In 1660, New Amsterdam was a compact Dutch settlement at Manhattan’s tip, bounded to the north by a timber palisade—today’s Wall Street. Within its walls lay Fort Amsterdam, tightly clustered wooden homes, warehouses of the West India Company and a windmill atop present-day Greenwich Street; beyond, a patchwork of farms and orchards.

The future of education is not letting it stay the same it has been for the past 100 years.
To achieve different outcomes, we must be willing to challenge the status quo! Our commitment to excellence and accessible pathways to an LSU education will strengthen our workforce and create a better future for Louisiana. #LSU #LSUSystem @LAFirstNews @John_Walton_
