#Palestine conference canceled by #USM over speaker’s sanctions has new location

The academic discussion called the ‘#ConsequenceOfPalestine’ will take place at #FirstParishCongregationalChurch in #GorhamME

by Riley Board, February 26, 2026

"A conference on Palestine scheduled for Saturday has found a new venue after the University of Southern Maine said it would no longer sponsor the event because one of the planned speakers is subject to sanctions by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

"The 'Consequence of Palestine' event will now be hosted at the First Parish Congregational Church in Gorham, and is scheduled to proceed on the same date, organizers with the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine and #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights announced Thursday.

"University officials told organizers late last week they could no longer use Hannaford Hall on the USM’s Portland campus for the event after learning that speaker #FrancescaAlbanese is on the Office of Foreign Assets Controls’ #SanctionsLlist.

"#Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on #HumanRights in the #OccupiedPalestinianTerritories, was slapped with sanctions in July after she wrote letters to several major American businesses, telling them she planned to name them in a U.N. report for contributing to human rights violations by #Israel; the #StateDepartment called the letters campaigns of political and #EconomicWarfare. U.S. businesses and entities are prohibited from doing business with Albanese.

"Albanese was scheduled to speak at the conference remotely, and organizers said they received guidance that her participation was permitted so long as they did not engage in any financial transaction with her or offer an honorarium for her participation.

"Organizers also say they offered to remove Albanese from the schedule, but the university said it still could not host the event because it needed, 'time to assess the risk and put in place measures to ensure compliance with all federal and state laws and university policies.'

"More than 300 people had registered for the event as of Tuesday.

"Albanese is still slated to speak at the conference, an organizer confirmed. The USM Department of Criminology and Sociology, previously a co-sponsor of the event, is no longer involved."

I visited an exhibition yesterday at the #CreweCenter at #USM in #PortlandME yesterday. The theme is "Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges and Ruptures" showing through March 31, 2026. The first piece that caught my eye was "Invoking the Muses" by artist and teacher #SusanBickford. "These dresses are meant to invoke and honor these ancient Goddesses, indeed to welcome them into this temple, remembering their essential role in creative inspiration. Position in relationship to the architecture and an extension of the sky, sunlight, moonlight, and the wind, and made as an offering, each stitch a prayer for the future, and the artists receiving their blessing."

#SouthernMaine - #USM Student, Staff and Faculty

Oakhurst Campus #FoodPantry

"The Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry provides essential resources to the USM community to fight food insecurity and meet the basic needs of students, faculty, and staff using a self-assessed need model.

"We believe individuals should have the autonomy to determine their current level of need and be empowered with accessible, equitable, and inclusive resources to alleviate and eliminate the need.

"We distributed over 10,900 lbs of food to the USM community in 2022

"There is no paperwork to fill out or expectation to 'prove' your current need in order to access the pantry; all you need is your current #UniversityOfMaineSystem (#UMS) ID. We do not limit how often you can access pantry resources.

"We offer a wide range of food (non-perishable, cold, and frozen), household, and personal goods. Shop in-person at our Portland campus location or submit a pre-order online, available for pick-up in #PortlandME, #GorhamME, and #Lewiston-#Auburn Campus.

"The Pantry has experienced a steady increase in need over the last 18+ months as reflected in our data; resources distributed, spending to stock pantry items, and the number of people being served. Pantry regulars include undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and international students, and university staff and faculty. What was once supplemental for many people, has become a resource they regularly depend upon."

So, I mentioned #BernieReim's situation to one of my former teachers (the faculty did not know about it), and she spread the word. I saw that a lot of faculty donated soon afterwards. I love the #USM / #WMPG community! It's truly a community!

Должен ли аналитик уметь всё?

Всем привет! Я Полина — старший системный аналитик на проекте разработки и развития решений по управления данными в компании "Цифровые сервисы". В целом мой опыт в аналитике более 10 лет на позициях, как бизнес , так и системного аналитика. На одной из конференций по аналитике[1] увидела интересный слайд, на котором был перечислен набор аббревиатур и вопрос для размышления: «Должен ли аналитик уметь все?».

Осваивая новые направления: что получила backend-разработчица от изучения продуктовой проработки и дизайна

Всем привет! Меня зовут Воляница Елизавета, я магистрант ИТМО по программе Искусственного интеллекта AI Talent Hub и по совместительству backend-разработчик на маркетплейсе. В основном я занимаюсь проектированием архитектуры, декомпозированием задач и написанием кода для различных систем. Но причём здесь графический дизайн? Недавно, когда у меня появилась та самая гениальная идея для того самого стартапа, который «ну 100% выстрелит», я столкнулась с тем, что нужно не только проектировать архитектуру и писать код. Тогда мой дизайн выглядел как-то так:

USM is a single, systematic framework that unifies trigonometric, hyperbolic, and complex-exponential substitutions into one coherent method. No more hunting through a dozen separate “recipes” for different radicals or inverse-trig integrals—you rewrite x + b as e^(±i α) (or e^θ), track sign/branch choices algorithmically, and reduce everything to a rational (“polynomish”) integral in a new variable.

Why USM shines for ∫ e^(arccos(x)) dx:
• Transforms e^(arccos(x)) into simple powers of t = e^(–i arccos(x))
• Eliminates the usual integration-by-parts slog
• Integrates term-by-term in one shot, then back-substitutes for a crisp final form

📄 Dive deeper! Check out my draft article “A Unified Substitution Method for Integration” for full proofs, more examples, and the USM’s broader scope (link in bio).

The USM is superior to traditional methods!

Using the USM’s IV transformation formula, from the summary at the link below, you convert integrals of this type into polynomial-type integrals. The traditional method reduces it to the integral of csc³, which would require complicated reduction formulas or integration by parts. The third Euler substitution reduces it to the integral of √(t² + a²), which also requires memorizing a standard formula or integrating it from scratch. None of this is as simple as integrating a three-term polynomial-type function, which is taught in the first few weeks of any integral calculus course.

Как использовать User Story mapping при создании цифрового продукта

Декомпозиция фич и их приоритезация — это обязательные этапы проектирования продукта. USM – инструмент, который нам в этом помогает. С ним получается работать над продуктом, опираясь на реальные потребности пользователей и цели бизнеса. Как итог – строим разработку так, чтобы каждая функция, которую создает команда, приносила максимальную пользу. В статье о том, как подойти к созданию функциональной USM, какие стадии преодолеть до ее формирования и как не переборщить с описаниями.

User Story Map как инструмент управления ожиданиями и не только: практические советы

Привет! Нас зовут Катя Черных и Маша Вострикова, мы бизнес-аналитики в Х5 Tech. Мы любим инструмент User Story Map (карта пользовательских историй или USM), проводим по нему воркшопы в X5 и хотим поделиться своим опытом. В статье рассказываем, как на этапе Discovery (начальный этап проработки задачи, на котором выявляются основные требования и анализируются поставленные бизнес-цели) прорабатывать большие инициативы, используя USM. Фокус делаем на практическом использовании карты и на что обращать внимание при построении USM. Мы собрали возможные сложности, разобрали конкретные кейсы и описали варианты взаимодействия с заинтересованными лицами.

USM (Unified Service Management)_Шаблон

User Story Mapping - это методика визуализации пользовательских историй, которая помогает командам разработки программного обеспечения лучше понять пользовательский опыт и определить приоритеты для разработки функциональности продукта. USM строится на основе пользовательских историй, которые описывают функциональные требования к продукту. Эти истории организуются в виде карты, которая визуализирует поток работы пользователя через различные этапы взаимодействия с продуктом. Карты User Story Mapping могут быть использованы для итеративного планирования разработки продукта, а также для улучшения понимания пользовательских потребностей и предпочтений.
