Mr President…

IAN | tear down this wall! Well, perhaps not quite, but we need to think about the image we present to Bremen-Nord with our imposing fences and walls. Check out the editorial here.

Codename “Fences” editorial almost ready

IVAN | Have you ever thought about the fences surrounding our beloved campus? Have you thought that they might be much more an obstacle than convenience? An editorial on the topic has been completed in its raw form and is behind the corner to appearing on the Pulse site. Stay tuned..

Et voilà!

IAN | The Green Team editorial mentioned by Ivan is now up, so check it out here! Kudos to Admin for moving in the right direction on this – working with the Martinshof is a great idea.

Green Team editorial on its way

IVAN | A new editorial has been written on the issue with the Green Team facilitating the green areas around campus. The Green Team is part of the contract between Jacobs Facility Management and Martinshof, an organization known for providing opportunities to people with mental disabilities. The editorial is ready in its raw form and will soon be published on PulseOfTheWorld.com.

The topic of the next editorial from me will be if and how we should sacrifice our personal freedom for improved security on campus; if the fences are the right way to go and arent’ they more separating, than protecting… Expect to hear from me soon…

Tyrant in democrat’s clothing?

IAN | A new editorial today (found here) about recent crackdowns on democratic opposition rallies in Vladimir Putin‘s Russia – these latest moves should crush any remaining doubts about the quality – or lack thereof – of Russian democracy. And the established democracies should find the backbone to make it crystal clear they don’t condone Mr Putin’s actions in the least.

Australia, HIV and football

IAN | So we’ve got our first two editorials up and published on Pulseoftheworld.com - and the official editorial direction of that young online news source now begins! A piece on Australian PM John Howard‘s crazy immigration thoughts here, and one on the discussion of how and if women should be allowed to play in the Jacobs Intercontinental Football Tournament (ICFT) here.

Above Board

IAN | Well, here it is, the beginning of the Above Board blog, aimed to show all of you Pulseoftheworld.com readers what’s really going on in the heads of the members of the editorial board, and to give you a place to debate / discuss / rant / rage / fume about current events, both on campus here in Bremen-Nord and around the world.

Hopefully we’ll really get underway pretty soon, but as a start, check out this backwards idea suggested by Australian PM John Howard about HIV-positive immigrants. Are his 15 minutes of fame over yet? It’s been 11 years…
