How can I join the ATC senior group that you have? I want to ask you seniors an important question before I make a decision. Can someone add me?

AG CO-OP CLASS -- Exam starts at 10. Also, if you see this early today (Monday) tell Arpine I sent the exam via her Facebook account because I couldn't find her regular email address anywhere else. :-(

REWARD OFFERED: On Wednesday, October 17, I had my small, flat, white with blue, waterproof flash drive with me at ATC. I went upstairs to run something off in my old office (where Arpine and Narek still sit.) Apri says it's not in the computer there. But I also don't have it. Please look all around ATC (in computers, laying on someone's desk upstairs in the offices) and the person who finds it will get a reward. I don't know what -- money, something from Africa, something from Georgia or Armenia...but I will give you something if you can find it! (Go ahead, repost in the ATC senior group.) :D

One more post today dear class -- for those of you who don't want to improve your mind and would rather kill zombies! You have my 100% permission! How about a computer game that was created by a French studio which is run as a “Scop” (société cooperative et participative), a cooperative enterprise managed by its employees?!? Doesn't that sound cool -- more exciting than listening to one of my lectures, ha/ho?!? :D Check it out: http://stories.coop/stories/written/working-together-kill-zombies

Die2Nite is a computer game about zombies. But it is also, according to one review, “an interactive piece of social commentary,” in which you join 39 other players in a town repeatedly beset upon by the living dead. It’s your choice whether or not to help the community or live (and die) alone. With ...

Dear ATC Ag Co-op Class: Remember I mentioned today that the World food Prize will be presented? And I suggested you be attentive to it since it's named for Norman E. Borlaug, who was a very famous scientist and who has a center named after him at Texas A&M University? Remember? Ah, yes, I know you do! :D Well, here is the link to the Prize web page. It is very interesting and can help you better understand the world, agriculture, food -- to make you better future leaders in Armenia, Georgia and the world! http://www.worldfoodprize.org/

The foremost international award recognizing individuals who have increased the quality, quantity, or availability of food in the world.
