Two University of Maine students have been awarded Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships to study in the United Kingdom for the fall 2021 semester.
Madison-Riley Powell, a third-year marine sciences major from Leicester, Massachusetts, seeks to enroll at Bangor University in Wales. Jonathan Warren, a business management transfer student from Tacoma, Washington, will study at Lancaster University in England. Both are hopeful that travel restrictions related to the pandemic will ease over the summer, to allow for in-person learning.
Powell chose Bangor University based on the exceptional research opportunities available there, and in part, due to the universityâs location between the mountains and the sea. Her research will focus on marine conservation and the effects of climate change on marine organisms. Warren, who selected Lancaster University for its renowned marketing program, seeks to learn more about global markets while engaging with a new culture.

Hey, it’s never too early to start thinking about Indonesia, as evidenced clearly by the photo above, taken yesterday.
“It was the awakening of the Island of the Gods,” said local photographer Federico Vanno. “2020 was full of waves in Indonesia. But since the end of December, we’ve had a heavy rainy season without any swells at all. And after long months of hibernation, it was time to wake up. And after seeing many large swells in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, finally we too were able to see with our eyes and not through a computer or mobile phone screen but live, and we were able to enjoy the emotion of being able to be back in the water again, breathe a sigh of relief and think: here’s the first swell of 2021 in Bali, knowing it will only be the beginning of a long season of waves.”
Altus launches vulnerability whitepaper following FCA s latest guidance
To help advisers support vulnerable clients
Vulnerability is a complex challenge, and the FCA wants to see the issue being taken seriously. Firms need to embed a vulnerable-centric approach into their culture, policies and across the organisation, not just in front-line areas. Our whitepaper brings together a range of different perspectives from subject matter experts for firms to consider when implementing their approach. The FCA will evaluate the actions taken by firms and ascertain whether there has been sufficient progress in 2023. This leaves little time for firms to address such a complex task and they need to make their work on vulnerable customers a priority.”

Mr Fitzgerald has since changed his LinkedIn profile to state that he never graduated from the university, but up until that point claimed on the networking site, as well as in official NHS documents and on a medical research paper, to have an LLM.
The chair of the NSFT, Marie Gabriel, wrote in an email to staff that the current chief executive, Jonathan Warren, who was due to go on holiday at the end of March before retiring, would now “stay at the trust to provide stability and continuity leadership” while a review took place.
