"Dutch Fulbright board members resign over U.S. pressure on academic freedom
Half of the board of the Dutch branch of the Fulbright Scholarship program resigned Thursday evening, alleging pressure from the United States that poses a threat to the program's commitment to academic independence, and policies which are “irreconcilable with the principle of academic freedom.” The jointly-written resignation letter, dated Nov. 10 and published on Thursday evening, indicated six of the twelve board members were stepping down “with great regret".
The Fulbright Program was spearheaded by U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946 to promote peace and prosperity by fostering academic and cultural exchange between nations in the post-War era. Three years later, a bilateral treaty between the U.S. and the Netherlands established one of the program’s first international commissions. Since then, more than 7,000 U.S. and Dutch students, scholars, and teachers have received support to participate in the exchange."

Arrivano le precisazioni di Acciaierie d’Italia in merito ad un evento emissivo di natura non convogliata, verificatosi ieri pomeriggio di venerdì 14 novembre.
“La colata in questione – spiega una nota – era la prima trattata nel convertitore dopo la ripartenza di #AFO4 ed è stata eseguita con tutte le precauzioni e in conformità con quanto previsto nell’istruzione di lavoro formalizzata per la gestione della ghisa”. #ILVA

"When people read erotic symbols into my paintings, they're really talking about their own affairs."
A very happy birthday to Georgia O'Keeffe, born on this day in 1887. Throughout her career, O'Keeffe insisted that the abstract images, close-up flowers and landscapes she painted were not depicting vulvas. Nonetheless, we love her work.

Il malware che ci manca.
Una app (non rimovibile!) che ogni volta che una persona prova a mandare un vocale le scarica 15000 volt sulla lingua.
Non letale, ma sufficiente a lasciare la lingua intorpidita per una mezz'ora.
