# Achieving Leadership's Purpose, Inc.

Founded in June 1968 as the Archbishop's Leadership Project ("ALP"), Achieving Leadership’s Purpose, Inc. is a Harlem, United States, based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides leadership development training to high school youth of the African Diaspora, preparing them for leadership. It fosters a commitment to service as well as prepares young men and women for leadership roles of mid-level management or higher in the fields of education, government, domestic and international community affairs, social justice, and philanthropy.
Singer Mary J. Blige was a retreat guest in 1990.

## History

Achieving Leadership’s Purpose, Inc., ("ALP") was founded in 1968 as the Archbishop’s Leadership Project by Terence Cardinal Cooke with the mission of cultivating African-American leadership in the Catholic Church, and serving the broader community. Over the years, the program has come to include students of various religious backgrounds and African Diasporan origins (African, African-American, Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and Caribbean-American).
In 1968, Father John Meehan was chosen to direct the first group, and was tasked with designing a program that would encourage young Black men to pursue vocations in the priesthood. However, by the middle of their first weekend retreat, he discovered that the young men were less interested in joining the priesthood, and more interested in exploring their history and the issues facing their community. Keeping the needs of the youth in mind, by the end of the first two years the original objective of attracting Black youth to the priesthood was subsumed into an approach to motivate, inspire, and encourage young boys to consider roles of leadership within the African-American community.
In the summer of 1985, Fr. Meehan and alumnus Peter Sanders'74 met with Cardinal O'Connor to provide an introductory report on the program started by his predecessor, Cardinal Cooke. Impressed with the program, Cardinal O'Connor decided to keep ALP in the Archbishop’s discretionary budget and felt that the work of ALP could be extended to young women. When a new ALP group was formed in the spring of 1986, it included over twenty Black high school girls and a female co-coordinator, Ms. Taur Orange, making ALP a coeducational program. In March 2005, ALP incorporated as an independent not-for-profit organization, changing its name to Achieving Leadership’s Purpose, Inc.
The development and training process emphasizes critical thinking, presentation skills, leadership dynamics, an appreciation for history and culture, and service to others.

# Stigmella atrata

Stigmella atrata is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed on the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island. The larvae of this species are leaf miners of Brachyglottis elaeagnifolia and Brachyglottis rotundifolia and have been recorded in April, May, July and September. Larvae pupate on the ground in a cocoon. Adults have been observed on the wing in January, February, November and December. It has been hypothesised that there is probably only one generation per year.

## Taxonomy

This species was first described in 1989 by Hans Donner and Christopher Wilkinson using a variety of specimens. The male holotype specimen was collected at Golden Bay, Stewart Island by Morris Netterville Watt and emerged mid November 1959. It is held at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection.

## Description

The larvae are about 4 mm long and are pale brown. The length of the forewings of the adult moth is about 4 mm. Donner and Wilkinson described the male of the species as follows:
   Head. Frontal tuft yellowish brown; scape buff with some brown scales; collar brown-grey; antenna brown, comprising 37 segments. Thorax grey-brown, lustrous, reflecting gold. Forewing about 4 mm long, grey-brown, iridescent, reflecting gold, with an indistinct dark medial spot; terminal quarter darker; terminal scales overlapping the brown-grey fringe. Hindwing brown-grey; fringe grey. Abdomen brown-grey.
The female of the species was described as follows:
   As for male, but forewing with contrasting areas submedially and antemedially, these varying in size and colour fτom shining white and covering major part of wing to pale brown, obscure patches.

## Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand. It has been observed in the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island.

## Behaviour

The larvae of this species mine the leaves of their host plants. Adults have been recorded as being on the wing in January, February, November and December. There is probably one generation per year.

## Host species

The larvae feed on Brachyglottis elaeagnifolia and Brachyglottis rotundifolia.

Kneph, also as Kmeph, is a god and motif of divinity in ancient Egyptian religious art, variously represented as a winged egg, a globe surrounded by one or more serpents, or Amun in the form of a serpent called Kematef. Some Theosophical sources tried to syncretize this motif with the deity Khnum, along with Agathos Daimon, Serapis and Pluto. Under the Greek theonym Chnuphis, this figure adopts a serpent-bodied, lion-headed ("leontoeidic") visage, being particularly common in magical artifacts in Late Antiquity. It is by proxy frequently associated with the Gnostic Demiurge.

# Ashok Sukumaran

Ashok Sukumaran is a Japanese-born Indian contemporary artist.

## Biography

Sukumaran was born to a Japanese mother and an Indian Assamese father in Sapporo, Japan in 1974. Sukumaran grew up in Shimla and did his schooling from St. Edward's School, Shimla.
Sukumaran is a trained architect with a degree from School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, India. He holds an MFA from Department of Design Media Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the co-founder of the collaborative studio CAMP, (along with Shaina Anand) based in Mumbai.

## Artistic approach

Sukumaran practices media art using a variety of media to convey complex ideas around public and private, and technology and society.
"Ashok's recent work examines possibilities between human habitat and "embedded" technologies: the physical and social sites of digital media. In adopting the view that many new-media technologies are not fundamentally new, his projects often imagine "what could have been" across the disciplines of interactive art, early and pre-cinema, and architecture." Archived 13 May 2007 at the Wayback Machine
"My recent work deals with the intersection of human habitat and technologies being ‘embedded’ within it. These are concerns about how technologies sit on the ground, what patterns they establish, and how we may move between them. The technologies themselves may range from electricity to imaging technologies or wirelessness, for example. I am interested in how we collectively 'see' them, and negotiate the property boundaries, systems administrators, and thresholds of understanding inscribed within." (Artist's personal statement)

## Professional

He was the Sun artist in residence for 2006.
He showcased his art in the Singapore Biennial 2006.

# Dar al-Magana

Dar al-Magana (Arabic: دار المكانة, lit. 'House of the Clock') is a 14th-century building in Fes, Morocco, built by the Marinid Sultan Abu Inan Faris which houses a weight-powered water clock. It is located opposite the Bou Inania Madrasa on Tala'a Kebira street and was created to serve that madrasa and its mosque, which was also built by Abu Inan around the same time.
The building is also sometimes referred to as the "House of Maimonides" due to a popular legend which claims that the house was once the residence of the famous Jewish philosopher Maimonides.

## History

The clock was part of the large charitable complex centered around the Bou Inania Madrasa built by the Marinid sultan Abu Inan. According to its foundation inscription, construction on the madrasa itself started on December 28, 1350 CE (28 Ramadan 751 AH) and finished in 1355 (756 AH).$^{:474}$ According to the historical chronicler al-Jazna'i, the water clock was completed on 6 May 1357 (14 Djumada al-awwal, 758 AH). The designer of the clock was a muwaqqit named Abu al-Hassan ibn Ali Ahmed el-Tlemsani.$^{:492(seeendnote2)}$ The clock may have followed similar principles as that of an earlier water clock built for the Dar al-Muwaqqit of the Qarawiyyin Mosque by Sultan Abu Said in 1317.

## Description

The clock consists of 12 windows and platforms carrying brass bowls. The motion of the clock was presumably maintained by a kind of small cart which ran from left to right behind the twelve doors. At one end, the cart was attached to a rope with a hanging weight; at the other end to a rope with a weight that floated on the surface of a water reservoir that was drained at a regular pace. Each hour one of the doors opened; at the same time a metal ball was dropped into one of the twelve brass bowls. The rafters sticking out of the building above the doors (similar to the rafters of the Bou Inania Madrasa) supported a small roof to shield the doors and bowls. The facade of the building is decorated with carved stucco around the windows and by sculpted arabesque and epigraphic motifs on the wooden rafters and corbels.

## State of preservation

The clock has been defunct for generations and a lack of documentation and collective memory about its exact functioning has impeded efforts to repair it. The bowls have been removed since 2004 with the aim of repairing or reconstructing its mechanism, though the project, managed by ADER-Fes (a foundation for the restoration of monuments in Fes), has been unsuccessful in this regard so far. The structure and facade of the house itself was also restored in the early 2000s.
