Wikipedia Edits of the Day: EU's Seven Dwarves -Brexit, Irexit, Nexit, Grexit, and Frexit

, ,

According to Wikipedia:

  1. "Irexit is a common name for a hypothetical withdrawal of the Republic of Ireland from the European Union. See also: Brexit, Frexit, Nexit, and Grexit."
  2. "A pizza party is a social gathering at which pizza is served.... Typically, a pizza that is 10 to 14 inches wide will feed two people, assuming the party-goers are not voraciously hungry. Since pizzas can include a very wide variety of toppings, one particular type of pizza party allows the party-goers to create their own custom-made pizza using a selection of ingredients.... When a pizza party does not include any custom-made pizzas, it is common to include at least one plain cheese-only pizza."
  3. The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness recommends the following to activate each circuit: opiods (Oral Bio-Survival Circuit), alcohol (Emotional-Territorial Circuit), cocaine (Neurosemantic-Dexterity Circuit), MDMA (Socio-Sexual Circuit), cannabis (Neurosomatic Circuit), LSD, and peyote (Neuroelectric).

IMG_7312.jpg

Here's the latest episode of Audiomap! This week's theme is that I'm very unorganized & chaotic so I'm perusing through CFUR's music library and playing one artist from each letter of the alphabet. Basically I'm playing whatever my lil' heart desires. It's radio anarchy up in this joint.

P.S. yes, I know you can hear other music in the background. I'm sorry. The board in Studio A is not ideal. We're workin' on it. In the meantime, thanks for bearing w/ us.

Today's Top Wikipedia Edits: 'Highly Newsworthy, Little Known Topic,' Wikipedia's Site for Social Credit System in China, 'Needs Attention from an Expert in China'

, ,
1cf0-65e8-4683-8a4c-2cf4e5ddc9cd.png

According to Wikipedia:

  1. Listed under "Extreme Points" of Canada's geography, the country's pole of inaccessibility ("location that is the most challenging to reach owing to its remoteness") is "allegedly" near Jackfish Lake, Alberta.
  2. "The Social Credit System is a proposed Chinese government initiative for developing a national reputation system. It has been reported to be intended to assign a 'social credit' rating to every citizen based on government data regarding their economic and social status." Wikipedia policy flags this website as "needing special attention from an expert in China. The specific problem is: Highly newsworthy, little known about topic, much speculation."
  3. "Personal life is the course of an individual's life, especially when viewed as the sum of personal choices contributing to one's personal identity."

NUGSS goes into more detail

,
DSC_1707.jpg

CFUR News reported yesterday after the NUGSS annual general meeting that the organization was coming on hard times. We sat down with Eric Depenau who is the Vice President of Finance for NUGSS.  

Listen to the Full Interview here:

[mixcloud width="300" height="200" cover="1" mini="1" light="1" autoplay="1" tracklist="1" artwork="1" iframe="true" ]https://www.mixcloud.com/cfurvolunteer/interview-with-eric-depenau-vp-finance-nugss/[/mixcloud]

 

At present NUGSS is facing a $99,000 dollar deficit and $49,000 short term debt load for a loan taken out in 2010 to deal with operational revenue short falls. The final aspect to the NUGSS debt loan is on $1.8 million for a loan used to renovate the NUSC space when NUGSS originally started leasing the space from UNBC.

The loan which was originally for $100,000 and was from Bank of Montreal was taken out in 2010.

Subleasing the Thirsty Moose space, Degrees coffee shop as well as the office spaces on the top floor of the NUSC are one of a couple options NUGSS is looking at to balance the budget. Other options are raising the prices of food, or even the possible closure of the Thirsty Moose Pub and Degrees. Right now NUGSS is in talks with some outside groups to take over these business however nothing is definitive and they may not even go down that road, Depenau stressed.

Depenau stressed the idea that the past boards of NUGSS did the best job they could with the information they had. He also felt strongly that these austerity should put NUGSS in a better position as long as they also stick to long term planning. It is unclear after this interview if insitutional measures around accountability will be put in place after this trouble but on thing is sure NUGSS is keeping an open mind.
