» Degree Programs
Admission
To be admitted for doctoral studies, a student must have an exemplary scholastic record which includes
an M.S. degree (standard admission) or a B.S. degree (direct-admit program) in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field, preferably from an accredited engineering program.
three letters of recommendation attesting to the student's capacity to perform in the classroom and in a research capacity. A minimum of two letters should be from tenure-track faculty members who have observed the academic performance of the applicant.
a Statement of Purpose that is consistent with the current research areas within the Department. An "Application for Financial Aid and Statement of Purpose" form is available on the Application section of this website. It allows the applicant to specify areas of interest and academic goals, and it provides guidance regarding the issues we would like to see addressed in the statement of purpose.
a minimum score of 79 on the internet-based TOEFL examination for students whose native language is not English.
a grade point average that demonstrates the potential to perform at the level of 3.40 or better in MECE graduate courses.
a GRE score that is competitive with the doctoral admission class.
Degree Requirements
Standard Program
This option assumes that the applicant has completed an M.S. degree from a recognized university. A minimum of 51 hours of approved graduate study beyond the hours completed for the M.S. degree are required. These hours include at least 30 hours of Research and Dissertation credit and at least 21 hours of course work (7 classes) at the 6000-level or higher composed of
three hours from the course MECE 6384 Methods of Applied Mathematics I,
at least nine hours of MECE courses,
a two-course breadth requirement as described below,
the remaining courses are from any department in the College of Engineering, or the College of Natural Science and Mathematics.
A comprehensive qualifying examination is required early in the degree program, and a dissertation examination is required at the end.
Direct-Admit Program
This option assumes that the applicant is being admitted without a completed M.S. degree. Students who begin in the M.S. program may petition to transfer into the Direct-Admit Ph.D. if they have demonstrated exemplary course work and research potential. This option requires a minimum of 66 hours of approved graduate study beyond the hours completed for a baccalaureate degree in engineering. These hours include at least 36 hours of Research and Dissertation credit and at least 30 hours of course work (10 classes) at the 6000-level or higher composed of
three hours MECE 6384 Methods of Applied Mathematics I,
at least fifteen hours of MECE courses,
All PhD candidates must have at least one peer- reviewed (archival) journal paper accepted prior to his/her dissertation oral defense. This paper must be based on the student's dissertation research at the University of Houston.
Breadth Requirement
Two courses with content outside of the research concentration area are required to insure a minimum academic breadth in the program. The courses can be in MECE, and suitable courses in the Colleges of Engineering and Natural Sciences. The suitability of courses for the breadth requirement is determined by petition to the Director of Graduate Studies. This petition should be filed well in advance of the dissertation defense.
Comprehensive Qualifying Examination
This oral examination determines whether a student has mastered, and can integrate and apply, the knowledge gained in courses. The student should set aside a period of time to prepare for the examination by reviewing course material and reflecting on how this information can be integrated to solve problems.
To stand for the Ph.D. comprehensive examination, a student must have a grade point average of 3.40 or higher in a minimum of 12 MECE graduate hours (4 classes) and no more than the first 21 MECE graduate hours (7 classes) after being admitted to the Ph.D. program.
The examination should be scheduled as soon the accumulation of relevant course work allows. For a student with an M.S. from another university, the exam should be attempted no later than 18 months after study towards the Ph.D. begins. For students who complete the M.S. here and for students who petition into the direct-admit program, the exam should be attempted within 12 months of the change of program.
The examination committee is set by the Director of Graduate Studies in consultation with the Mechanical Engineering core research groups (Controls, Materials, Mechanics, Thermo-Fluids) and the dissertation advisor. Click here for more information about the general and transitional qualifying exam guidelines. Some qualifying exam guidelines will vary by group. Please review the table below for more information about each group's specific core courses. Please click the group name for more information about their respective exam guidelines.
Core Courses of Research Groups
Controls MECE 6384: Methods of Applied Mathematics MECE 6397: Control Systems Analysis and Design MECE 6374: Nonlinear Control Systems
Materials MECE 6361: Mechanical Behavior of Materials MECE 6363: Physical Metallurgy MECE 6364: Phase Transform in Materials
Mechanics MECE 6377: Continuum Mechanics I MECE 6384: Methods of Applied Mathematics Advanced Mechanics of Solids
Thermo-Fluids MECE 6334: Convection Heat Transfer MECE 6384: Methods of Applied Mathematics Advanced Fluid Dynamics I
The committee is composed of a minimum of three voting members and the dissertation advisor who serves as a nonvoting member. One of the voting members is responsible for examining the student regarding the content in the mathematics requirement described above. The committee can be composed entirely of MECE faculty; however, members from outside the department may be approved if the nature of the student's program warrants such involvement. Judgment of the examination is by vote; two or more negative votes results in failure of the examination. In the case of failure, the commit-tee shall decide whether or not the student should be invited to take the examination a second time.
Dissertation Examination
A dissertation committee should be formed by the advisor, with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, during the semester in which the student passes the comprehensive qualifying examination. This committee consists of at least four members of the MECE Department including the advisor, and at least one member from outside the Department.
The College requires a minimum of one academic year (two long semesters) of full-time enrollment at the Ph.D. level.
Ninety-nine Hour Rule
The student is cautioned to be aware of the scheduling involved in meeting these requirements. University regulations require that a student who has accumulated more than 99 hours at the Ph.D. level be charged out-of-state tuition for the hours in excess of 99. This tuition rate applies to Texas residents as well as true out-of-state students.
Students requiring Doctoral Research and Dissertation hours should be advised of the following:
Doctoral Research and Dissertation. Doctoral Dissertation hours should be assigned an S or U grade which is changed to a letter grade after successful completion of the dissertation. An S or U grade must be assigned to every dissertation course until the dissertation is successfully completed (defended and submitted). A final letter grade via grade change request will be assigned to the required number of dissertation hours once the student has successfully completed the dissertation (defended and submitted). In case a student registers for dissertation hours over and above the nine hours that are required, these additional hours will remain as S or U on the student's transcript. This is a Graduate School directive and aimed at avoiding grade inflation.
Dissertation hours (8x99) for a PhD degree are restricted to 12 hours. PhD students must take at least 30 hours of research and dissertation. Any additional hours should be registered as Doctoral Research 8x98 to complete the research credit hours requirement. Doctoral Dissertation hours should be assigned an S or U grade which is changed to a letter grade after successful completion of the dissertation. If a student is not done after registering required number of Doctoral Research and Dissertation hours, additional hours should be registered as Doctoral Research which are graded on S/U basis. In the event a student registers for extra Dissertation hours, these hours will be left as S or U. It is not necessary to assign the same grade to all the hours while completing S or U grades.

Must-Follow Checklist for Video Creations 2021
Blog: NASSCOM Official Blog
2020 was a surprising year indeed. The coronavirus pandemic made everyone aware of way too many things. Taking the earth and its ecology seriously, hybrid workspace, attending weddings and birthdays virtually, etc., have introduced a lifestyle shift. Rarely used terms like quarantine, lockdown, isolation, pandemic have ruled conversations throughout the year. Given this situation, the online engagement of people all around the world have seen a massive hike. There is a smart device on almost every hand, owing to the effects of the coronavirus induced lockdown. From watching product reviews to learning new hobbies, this year, the average person in 2019 spent 84 minutes a day watching videos online. This is expected to go up to 100 minutes in 2021- a noticeable jump of 19%.
This rise brings with itself new challenges for video creators. With several new players in the arena now, catching the attention of the viewer is getting tougher. By 2023, the number of mobile internet users will touch 295 million. Video creators must stay at the top of their game, understand their audience, and get hold of the changing tide to drive traffic and revenue. It is easy to predict that video marketing will stay and gain more importance in the coming time.
Here is a checklist that can help hone the skills of video creators to remain engaging in 2021 as the scenario gets more competitive and demanding.
Create valuable content and not just visual content
Viewers are more likely to appreciate and engage in content that they can relate to. They enjoy videos that relate to their passions and also teach them new ways to gain further knowledge. The consumer must remain in focus. One way to do so is to create content that teaches, engages, and advertises at the same time. Crisp, short how-to-do's, and DIYs cover all the three points and have a greater chance at converting the viewer into a buyer.
Reach out to the newcomers
The youngsters are seen to prefer short videos and clips made by amateurs. The edgy yet real conversations and presentations leave a mark on the minds of the young viewers. They relate to them personally and find them trustworthy than someone who is in the business for a long time and does this for a living. Amateur content creators' raw and real user-generated content makes them more authentic since they do not come with the refined and scripted celebrity content.
Subtitles- the silent tool
YouTube and Facebook now auto-plays videos silently while users scroll down their timelines. Hence, the visible content must be power-packed with short and clear subtitles. Listening to a video to understand its content requires higher attention and time, which may discourage viewers, and they may begin to feel tedious after a point.
Major social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, have rolled out the live video feature. The pandemic has transformed events, meetings, and conferences. Celebrities are conducting concerts, fashion shows, reading sessions by streaming them live. This trend is here to stay, and video creators must churn out effective ways to make the impromptu live sessions impactful and engaging.
Video marketing has a long way to go, and, likely, its significance will only grow in the coming times. Today's tech-savvy population wants content, and they want it fast, and videos precisely offer that. Of course, other forms of content will continue to play their respective roles, but to grab the right audience to create a desirable buzz around a brand, articles, images, etc., should be clubbed together along with a video to keep the viewer hooked.

Fred le Chevalier and Madame Mustache. Two of my favorite Street Artists, two artists that work very often together; finally, two artists that are recently one of the most productive, creative and visible on the streets (at least in Paris). However it doesn't mean at all that their work is similar or so... I just guess they like to appear side by side on the walls (as they may be a good friends, too). That's why I decided to present their work at the same time also here. P.S. The very first post about them you can find here.
Madame Mustache usually does her art works as large and rectangular posters, that contain almost always sometimes funny, sometimes (so!) true and sometimes more philosophical maxims or tags. The story how she started her street art work in general, I will tell another time.
On the poster above the phrase means: "The memories are like the old mustard. If it's not spicy anymore, it's outdated (literally it means, if it doesn't tweak/sping your tongue anymore, it's outdated).
The characters, such as presented below, which are cut out along the contour are much less present (I would even say - very rarely) in her work contrary to posters, as presented above. A small exception is a cat, which appears very often.
Fred le Chevalier is not a favorite of mine, only. Apparently, even the police who tries to catch all of the street artists (as they "pollute" the streets) whilst they're working (adhering to the walls), has such a sentimental weakness for him, that it ends up with letting him free.
He has a very rich set of characters, often fantastic (like kings, queens, demons etc.). It is what makes me perceive it as a dreams. Dreams of his own, maybe society's dreams, street's dreams or our own as well.
The characters are always cut out along the contour and with tag lines in the bottom. On the picture above it's written: "L'amour n'est jamais sale", which means: "The love is never dirty". On the picture below: "Le nuit, c'est pour les rois" - "The night is for the kings".

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said the 323km Itapke-Warri standard gauge rail line will be extended to Abuja if the approval is granted by Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria.
Making this known during an inspection, the minister noted that the extension would make the rail line that cuts across three states (Kogi, Edo, and Delta) more impactful to Nigerians who travel on that corridor.
It should be noted that the contract was awarded to the China Civil and Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) Nigeria Limited at the cost of $122.6m and it's expected to be delivered by March, 2019 but the minister has said the contract must be completed before the end of 2018.
"I will have to convince the president that it is a relevant project. If he agrees, then we can value the project. But I don't think the extension should cost more than $100m.
"If the cost will be about $100m which is N36bn, then I can convince the president to approve it. If we get to Lokoja, we have solved a lot of problems and we would have helped a lot of people going to Warri and even coming to Abuja from that axis," he explained.
Shedding more light on the time frame, he said he is mounting pressures on the contractors (Julius Berger and CCECC) to complete the job before the end of the year, adding that he jhad expressed dissatisfaction over the pace of work done so far.
"Julius Berger said they will complete their own contract and leave site by August. CCECC is where we are having problems, they are saying the contract completion time is 2019 but we are insisting they must complete this year," he said.

Boko Haram attack forces thousands of Nigerians to flee to Cameroon
AFPPublished August 26, 2014
The attack on Gamboru Ngala comes after the town was almost entirely destroyed in May in a devastating assault.— AP file photo
KANO: A Boko Haram militants' attack on a border town in northeast Nigeria forced thousands of people to flee on Monday to Cameroon, in a fresh assault indicating militants' growing ability to strike at will.
The attack on Gamboru Ngala comes after the town was almost entirely destroyed in May in a devastating assault that also left more than 300 people killed and prompted outrage at the lack of military response.
Many local residents sought refuge across the border in the north Cameroon town of Fotokol, where troop reinforcements were being sent, a security service source told AFP.
Also read: Boko Haram says seized town is part of 'caliphate'
Boko Haram, which has been blamed for more than 10,000 deaths in a five-year-old uprising, has in recent weeks sought to take over a number of towns in Borno state, shifting from hit-and-run tactics to an apparent holding strategy.
The group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, declared in a video obtained by AFP on Sunday that the town of Gwoza, southwest of Gamboru Ngala, was now under an Islamic caliphate.
Residents said the Monday's attack began at about 5:30am, with extremists launching coordinated strikes on the main police station and a military base known as the Harmony camp.
"The sounds (of gunfire) became more deafening as police and soldiers responded to Boko Haram," said witness Hamisu Lawan. "Most of our people have fled to Cameroon. "Others locked themselves in their homes, voicing fears that the militants would turn their guns on civilians once they had overrun the police station and military camp.
Residents in Fotokol, which is separated from Gamboru Ngala by a river, also reported "intense" fighting throughout the morning.
"(Cameroonian) soldiers are at the bridge," one said.
Cameroon said on Aug 18 that it had closed its vast border with Nigeria to guard against the spread of Ebola, which caused five deaths in the country's financial capital, Lagos, in the far southwest.
But few believed that Cameroon had the resources needed to seal all the possible crossing points along the roughly 1,600-kilometre border.
Local officials and residents in Borno say that Boko Haram may be in control of a key road that connects Gamboru Ngala to the state capital Maiduguri.
Establishing which parts of the area have in fact fallen into insurgents' hands is difficult in the remote region, where travel is dangerous and prolonged fighting has hit mobile phone networks.
In Sunday's video, Shekau did not develop his claims about Gwoza being part of the Islamic caliphate, despite previously voicing his support for the leader of the Islamic State (IS) militants, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who proclaimed himself the "leader of Muslims everywhere" in June.
Al-Baghdadi's fighters have taken over parts of Iraq and Syria.
Nigeria's military dismissed Shekau's claim as "empty", maintaining that the country's sovereignty remained intact.
But that assertion is in conflict with multiple reports indicating that Boko Haram controls several towns in Borno and at least one in neighbouring Yobe state.
Analysts believe that Boko Haram will attempt to hold more towns in Borno in the short to mid-term, with Nigeria's military unable or unwilling to tackle them.
Some Nigerian troops stationed in the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, have refused to deploy to retake Gwoza because of what they say are sub-standard weapons that leave them at the mercy of the better-equipped rebels.
Defence analysts have also argued that Nigeria needs to improve its counter-insurgency strategy and adapt to guerrilla fighting rather than relying on conventional means.
Others complain of a lack of political will to properly tackle Boko Haram, which wants to establish a hardline Islamic state and whose campaign has targeted schools, churches and government installations.

Rehabbing Feet After Sports Injuries | Podiatry Associates, P.C.
Colorado is a winter sports paradise. Skiing, snowboarding, hockey, and even simply sledding—there's something for just about everyone. Like other types of sports, though, having strong and stable feet is absolutely vital. You can't handle slopes, half-pipes, and ice rinks without them. That's why proper rehabilitation after sports injuries isn't a nice suggestion; it's a crucial part of recovery.
Rehabilitation is important. Limbs need rest to heal properly. This is an important part of your recovery—but it does allow your body to atrophy and weaken. Your healing foot doesn't automatically return to full strength, either. You have to build back up to your pre-injury power, flexibility, and stability. This is where a solid foot rehab plan comes into play.
Toe Spreads – With bare feet flat on the floor, spread your toes as wide apart as you can. Hold for a second, then relax and repeat 10 times.
Forefoot Press – Set a book next to a bathroom scale so their surfaces are even with each other. Set your heel on the book and your forefoot on the scale. Without applying bodyweight, push your forefoot down on the scale to see how much force you create. Repeat 10 times for each foot.
Toe-Heel Walking – Walk across the room on your toes in a straight line, keeping your heels off the ground. Then walk back on your heels, keeping your toes off the ground.
Achilles Stretches – Stand facing a wall with one foot behind you. Using the wall to balance, lunge forward while keeping your spine, hips, and back knee straight and both heels on the floor.
Sports injuries need time-off to heal and rebuild strength afterward. Don't take the rehabilitation stage for granted. Let Podiatry Associates, P.C. in Parker and Castle Pines, CO, help you bounce back after your injury. No one wants to stay stuck watching others enjoy the snow because they can't keep up after getting hurt. Call (303) 805-5156 to make an appointment today!


"As it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hathprepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."-1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
HOW very frequently verses of Scripture are misquoted! Instead of turning to the Bible, to see how it is written, and saying,"How readest thou?" we quote from one another; and thus a passage of Scripture is handed down misquoted, by a king of tradition,from father to son, and passes as current among a great number of Christian persons. How very frequently at our prayer meetingsdo we hear our brethren describing heaven as a place of which we cannot conceive! They say,"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared forthem that love him;" and there they stop, not seeing that the very marrow of the whole passage lies in this-"But God hathrevealed them unto us by his Spirit." So that the joys of heaven (if this passage alludes to heaven, which, I take it, isnot quite so clear as some would suppose), are, after all, not things of which we cannot conceive; for "God hath revealedthem unto usby his Spirit."
I have hinted that this passage is most commonly applied to heaven, and I shall myself also so apply it in some measure, thismorning. But any one who reads the connexion will discover that the apostle is not talking about heaven at all. He is onlyspeaking of this-that the wisdom of this world is not able to discover the things of God-that the merely carnal mind is notable to know the deep spiritual things of our most holy religion. He says, "We speak the wisdom ofGod in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princesof this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hathnot seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that lovehim. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."And then hegoes on lower down to say, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishnessunto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." I take it, that this text is a great generalfact, capable of specific application to certain cases; and that the great fact is this-that the things of God cannot be perceivedby eye, and ear, and heart, but must be revealed by the Spirit of God; as they are unto all true believers. We shall takethat thought, and endeavour to expand it this morning, explaining it concerning heaven, as well as regards other heavenlymatters.
Every prophet who has stood upon the borders of a new dispensation might have uttered these words with peculiar force. Hemight have said, as he looked forward to the future, God having touched his eye with the anointing eye-salve of the Holy Spirit,"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for themthat love him; but God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit." We will divide the economy of freegrace into different dispensations. We commence with the patriarchal. A patriarch, who like Abraham was gifted with foresight, might have looked forward to the Levitical dispensation, gloriouswith its tabernacle, its Shekinah, its gorgeous veil, its blazing altars; he might have caught a glimpse of Solomon's magnificenttemple, and even by anticipation heard the sacred song ascending from the assembled thousands of Jerusalem; he might haveseen king Solomon upon his throne, surroundedwith all his riches, and the people resting in peace and tranquillity in the promised land; and he might have turned tohis brethren who lived in the patriarchal age, and said, "'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered the heartof man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him' in the next dispensation. Ye know not how clearly God willreveal himself in the Paschal Lamb-how sweetly the people will be led, and fed, and guided, and directed all the way throughthe wilderness-what a sweet and fair country it is that they shall inhabit; Eye hath not seen the brooks that gush withmilk, nor the rivers that run with honey; ear hath not heard the melodious voices of the daughters of Shiloh, nor have enteredinto the heart of man the joys of the men of Zion, 'but God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.'"
And so, moreover, at the close of the Levitical dispensation, the prophets might have thus foretold the coming glories. Old Isaiah, standing in the midst of the temple, beholding its sacrifices, andthe dim smoke that went up from them, when his eyes were opened by the Spirit of God, said-"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for him that love him." He saw by faith Christ crucifiedupon thecross; he beheld him weltering in his own blood in Gethsemane's garden; he saw the disciples going out of Jerusalem, topreach everywhere the Word of God; he marked the progress of Messiah's kingdom, and he looked down to these latter days, whenevery man under his own vine and fig tree doth worship God, none daring to make him afraid; and he could well have cheeredthe captives in Babylon in words like these,-"Now ye sit down and weep, and ye will not sing in a strange land the songs ofZion; but lift up your heads, for your salvation draweth nigh. Your eye hath not seen, nor your ear heard, the thingswhich God hath prepared for them that love him; but he hath revealed them unto me by his Spirit." And now, beloved, we standon the borders of a new era. The mediatorial dispensation is almost finished. In a few more years, if prophecy be not thoroughlymisinterpreted, we shall enter upon another condition. This poor earth of ours, which has been swathed in darkness, shallputon her garments of light. She hath toiled a long while in travail and sorrow. Soon shall her groanings end. Her surface,which has been stained with blood, is soon to be purified by love, and a religion of peace is to be established. The houris coming, when storms shall be hushed, when tempests shall be unknown, when whirlwind and hurricane shall stay their mightyforce, and when "the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ." But you ask me whatsort ofkingdom that is to be, and whether I can show you any likeness thereof. I answer, no; "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him,' in the next, the millenialdispensation; "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit." Sometimes, when we climb upwards, there are moments of contemplationwhen we can understand that verse, "From whence we look for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall berevealed from heaven," and can anticipate that thrice blessed hour, when the King of kings shall put on his head the crownof the universe, when he shall gather up sheaves of sceptres, and put them beneath his arm-when he shall take the crowns fromthe heads of all monarchs, and welding them into one, shall put them on his own head, admist the shouts of ten thousand timesten thousand who shall chaunt his high praises. But it is little enough that we can guess of its wonders.
But persons are curious to know what kind of dispensation the Millennial one is to be. Will the temple, they ask, be erectedin Jerusalem? Will the Jews be positively restored to their own land? Will the different nations all speak one language? Willthey all resort to one temple? and ten thousand other questions. Beloved, we cannot answer you. "Eye hath not seen, nor earheard, neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that lovehim." We do not profess to understand the minutiae of these things. It is enough for us to believe that a latter-day gloryis approaching. Our eyes glisten with joy, in the full belief that it is coming; and our hearts swell big at the thought thatour Master is to reign over the wide, wide world, and to win it for himself. But if you begin questioning us, we tell youthat we cannot explain it. Just as under the legal dispensation there were types and shadows, but the mass of the people neversaw Christ in them, so there are a great many different things in this dispensation which are types of the next, whichwill never be explained till we have more wisdom, more light, and more instruction. Just as the enlightened Jew partiallyforesaw what the Gospel was to be by the law, so may we guess the Millennium by the present, but we have not light enough:there are few who are taught enough in the deep things of God to explain them fully. Therefore we still say of the mass ofmankind-"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered the heart of man, things which God hath prepared for themthat love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit," in some measure, and he will do so more and more, by-and-bye.
And this brings us to make the application of the subject to heaven itself. You see, while it does not expressly mean heaven here, you may very easily bring it to bear upon it; for concerning heaven,unto which believers are all fast going, we may say "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered the heart of man,the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit."
Now, beloved, I am about to talk of heaven for this reason: you know, I never preach any funeral sermons for anybody, andnever intend. I have passed by many persons who have died in our church, without having made any parade of funeral sermons;but, nevertheless, three or four of our friends having departed recently, I think I may speak a little to you about heaven,in order to cheer you, and God may thus bless their departure. It is to be no funeral sermon, however-noeulogium on the dead, and no oration pronounced over the departed. Frequent funeral sermons I utterly abhor, and I believethey are not under God's sanction and approval. Of the dead we should say nothing but that which is good: and in the pulpitwe should say very little of that, except, perhaps, in the case of some very eminent saint; and then we should say very littleof the man; but let the "honour be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever."
We have imagined that there really were fields in heaven, and that things of earth were patterns of things in heaven. It wasall a mistake:-"Eye hath not seen" it.
Equally does our text assert that "the ear hath not heard" it. Oh! have we not on the Sabbath day sometimes heard the sweetvoice of the messenger of God, when he has by the Spirit spoken to our souls! We knew something of heaven then, we thought.At other times we have been entranced with the voice of the preacher, and with the remarkable sayings which he has uttered;we have been charmed by his eloquence; some of us have known what it is to sit and weep and smilealternately, under the power of some mighty man who played with us as skilfully as David could have played on his harp;and we have said, "How sweet to hear those sounds! how glorious his eloquence! how wonderful his power of oratory! Now I thinkI know something of what heaven is, for my mind is so carried away, my passions are so excited, my imagination is so elevated,all the powers of my mind are stirred upon so that I can think of nothing but of what the preacher is speaking about!" Butthe ear is not the medium by which you can guess anything of heaven. The "ear hath not heard" it. At other times perhapsyou have heard sweet music; and hath not music poured from the lungs of man-that noblest instrument in the world-or from somemanufacture of harmony, and we have thought, "Oh! how glorious this is!" and fancied, "This is what John meant in the Revelation-'Iheard a voice like many waters, and like exceeding great thunders, and I heard the voice of harpers harping withtheir harps;' and this must be something like heaven, something like the hallelujahs of the glorified." But ah! beloved,we made a mistake. "Ear hath not heard" it.
Another will have it that heaven is a place where he shall eat to the full, and his body shall be satisfied. We may use these as figures; but we are so degenerate that we are apt to build a fine Mahometan heaven, and to think, thereshall we have all the delights of the flesh; there shall we drink from bowls of nectared wine; there shall we lavishly indulgeourselves, and our body shall enjoy every delight of which it is capable. What a mistake for us to conceivesuch a thing! Heaven is not a place for the delight of mere sense; we shall be raised not a sensual body, but a spiritualbody. We can get no conceptions of heaven through the senses; they must always come through the Spirit. That is our firstthought. It is not a heaven to be grasped by the senses.
But, secondly, it is not a heaven of the IMAGINATION. Poets let their imaginations fly with loosened wings, when they commence speaking of heaven. And how gloriousare their descriptions of it! When we have read them, we say, "And is that heaven? I wish I was there." And we think we havesome idea of heaven by reading books of poetry. Perhaps the preacher weaves the filigree work of fancy, and builds up in amoment by his words charming palaces, the tops of whichare covered with gold, and the walls are ivory. He pictures to you lights brighter than the sun; a place where spiritsflap their bright wings, where comets flash through the sky. He tells you of fields where you may feed on ambrosia, whereno henbane groweth, but where sweet flowers cover the meads. And then you think you have some idea of heaven: and you sitdown and say, "It is sweet to hear that man speak; he carried me so away; he made me think I was there; he gave me such conceptionsas Inever head before; he worked on my imagination." And do you know, there is not a greater power than imagination. I wouldnot give a farthing for a man who has not imagination; he is of no use, if he wishes to move the multitude. If you were totake away my imagination I must die. It's a little heaven below, to imagine sweet things. But never think that imaginationcan picture heaven. When it is most sublime when it is freest from the dust of earth, when it is carried up by he greatestknowledge, and kept steady by the most extreme caution, imagination cannot picture heaven. "It hath not entered the heartof man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Imagination is good, but not to picture to us heaven.Your imaginary heaven you will find by-and-by to be all a mistake; though you may have piled up fine castles, you will findthem to be castles in the air, and they will vanish like thin clouds before the gale. For imagination cannot make a heaven."Eyehath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered the heart of man to conceive" it.
Our next point is, that it is not a heaven of the INTELLECT. Men who take to themselves the title of intelligent, and who very humbly and modestly call themselves philosophers,generally describe heaven as a place where we shall know all things; and their grandest idea of heaven is, that they shalldiscover all secrets there. There the rock which would not tell its origin shall bubble forth its history; there the starwhich would not tell its date, and could not bemade to whisper of its inhabitants, shall at once unravel all its secrets; there the animal, the fashion of which couldscarcely be guessed at, so long had it been buried amongst other fossils in the earth, shall start up again, and it shallbe seen of what form and shape it really was:-there the rocky secrets of this our earth that they never could discover willbe opened to them; and they conceive that they shall travel from one star to another star, from planet to planet, and filltheirenobled intellect, as they now delight to call it, with all kinds of human knowledge. They reckon that heaven will beto understand the works of the Creator: and concerning such men as Bacon and other great philosophers, of whose piety we generallyhave very little evidence, we read at the end of their biographies-"He has now departed, that noble spirit which taught ussuch glorious things here, to sip at the fountain of knowledge, and have all his mistakes rectified, and his doubts clearedup." But we do not believe anything of the kind. Intellect! thou knowest it now! "It hath not entered into the heart ofman." It is high; what canst thou know? It is deep; what canst thou understand? It is only the Spirit that can give you aguess of heaven.
Now we come to the point-"He hath revealed it unto us by his Spirit." I think this means, that it was revealed unto the apostlesby the Spirit, so that they wrote something of it in the Holy Word; but as you all believe that, we will only hint at it,and pass on. We think also that it refers to every believer, and that every believer does have glimpses of heaven below, andthat God does reveal heaven to him, even whilst on earth, so that he understands what heaven is, insome measure. I love to talk of the Spirit's influence on man. I am a firm believer in the doctrine of impulse, in thedoctrine of influence, in the doctrine of direction, in the doctrine of instruction by the Holy Spirit; and I believe himto be an interpreter, one of a thousand, who reveals unto man his own sinfulness, and afterwards teaches him his righteousnessin Christ Jesus. I know there are some who abuse that doctrine, and ascribe every text that comes into their heart as givenby theSpirit. We have heard of a man who, passing by his neighbour's wood, and having none in his own house, fancied he shouldlike to take some. The text crossed his mind-"In all these things Job sinned not." He said, "There is an influence from theSpirit; I must take that man's wood." Presently, however, conscience whispered, "Thou shalt not steal;" and he rememberedthen that no text could have been put into his heart by the Spirit, if it excused sin or led him into it. However we do notdiscard the doctrine of impulse, because some people make a mistake; and we shall have a little of it this morning-a littleof the teaching of God's gracious Spirit, whereby he reveals unto us what heaven is.
But there is another season in which the Christian has heaven revealed to him; and that is, the season of quiet contemplation. There are precious hours, blessed be God, when we forget the world-times and seasons when we get quite away from it, whenour weary spirit wings its way far, far, from scenes of toil and strife. There are precious moments when the angel of contemplationgives us a vision. He comes and puts his finger on the lip of the noisy world; he bidsthe wheels that are continually rattling in our ears be still; and we sit down, and there is a solemn silence of the mind.We find our heaven and our God; we engage ourselves in contemplating the glories of Jesus, or mounting upwards towards thebliss of heaven-in going backward to the great secrets of electing love, in considering the immutability of the blessed covenant,in thinking of what wind which "bloweth where it listeth," in remembering our own participation of that life which comethfrom God, in thinking of our blood-bought union with the Lamb, of the consummation of our marriage with him in realmsof light and bliss, or any such kindred topics. Then it is that we know a little about heaven. Have ye never found, O ye sonsand daughters of gaiety, a holy calm come over you at times, in reading the thoughts of your fellowmen? But oh! how blessedto come and read the thoughts of God, and work, and weave them out in contemplation. Then we have a web of contemplation thatwewrap around us like an enchanted garment, and we open our eyes and see heaven. Christian! when you are enabled by theSpirit to hold a season of sweet contemplation, then you can say-"But he hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit;" for thejoys of heaven are akin to the joys of contemplation, and the joys of a holy calm in God. But there are times with me-I daresay there may be with some of you-when we do something more than contemplate-when we arise by meditation above thoughtitself, and when our soul, after having touched the Pisgah of contemplation by the way, flies positively into the heavenlyplaces in Christ Jesus. There are seasons when the Spirit not only stands and flaps his wings o'er the gulf, but positivelycrosses the Jordan and dwells with Christ, holds fellowship with angels, and talks with spirits-gets up there with Jesus,clasps him in his arms, and cries, "My beloved is mine, and I am his; I will hold him, and will not let him go." I know whatitis at times to lay my beating head on the bosom of Christ with something more than faith-actually and positively to gethold of him; not only to take him by faith, but actually and positively to feed on him; to feel a vital union with him, tograsp his arm, and feel his very pulse beating. You say. "Tell it not to unbelievers; they will laugh!" Laugh ye may; butwhen we are there we care not for your laughter, if ye should laugh as loud as devils; for one moment's fellowship with Jesuswouldrecompense us for it all. Picture not fairy lands; this is heaven, this is bliss. "He hath revealed it unto us by hisSpirit."
O my erring brethren, ye who live on, unbaptized, and who receive not this sacred supper, I tell you not that they will saveyou-most assuredly they will not, and if you are not saved before you receive them they will be an injury to you;-but if youare the Lord's people, why need you stay away? I tell you, the Lord's table is so high a place that you can see heaven fromit very often. You get so near the cross there, you breathe so near the cross, that your sightbecomes clearer, and the air brighter, and you see more of heaven there than anywhere else. Christian, do not neglectthe supper of thy Lord; for it thou dost, he will hide heaven from thee, in a measure.
Again, how sweetly do we realize heaven, when we assemble in our meetings for prayer. I do not know how my brethren feel at prayer meetings; but they are so much akin to what heaven is, as a place of devotion,that I really think we get more ideas of heaven by the Spirit there, than in hearing a sermon preached, because the sermonnecessarily appeals somewhat to the intellect and the imagination. But if we enter into the vitality of prayer at our prayermeetings,then it is the Spirit that reveals heaven to us. I remember two texts that I preached from lately at our Monday eveningmeeting, which were very sweet to some of our souls. "Abide with us, for the day is far spent," and another, "By night onmy bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him and found him." Then indeed we held some foretaste of heaven. MasterThomas would not believe that his Lord was risen. Why? Because he was not at the last prayer-meeting; for we are told thatThomas wasnot there. And those who are often away from devotional meetings are very apt to have doubting frames; they do not getsights of heaven, for they get their eye-sight spoiled by stopping away.
Lord, that mercy came to me."
You say, "What is thy name, Lord?" He will not tell you. You hold him fast still; at last he deigns to bless you. That iscertainly some foretaste of heaven, when you feel alone with Jesus. Let no man know your prayers; they are between God andyourselves; but if you want to know much of heaven, spend some extra time in prayer; for God then reveals it to us by hisSpirit.

Q: Execute several elevated commands in shell (or similar) I have a requirement to execute several commands with elevated rights, something like:

*

*call program that modifies a .config file of a service (needs admin rights)

*net stop myservice (needs admin rights)

*net start myservice (needs admin rights)

All of this dynamic, e. g. the first line could contain proxy settings, including user name and password, or any other modification to the settings file. (Settings file is in program folder, program to modify the settings file is externally provided. The actual info would be user entered through a GUI.)
I thought to create a very flexible solution, using a cmd.exe process with redirected stdin and stdout. But.. it looks like "runas" (needs ShellExecute) and redirected in-/output are exclusive.
(Also, I noticed that redirection and cmd.exe are quite hard to handle.. I had to write my own functions e. g. as a replacement for ReadLine, since the ReadLine expects a NewLine at the end and waits e. g. if there is a command prompt (meaning you have text in the line like c:\bla> but no NewLine. Still, not knowing what one gets as a result makes writing something generic difficult.)
There are 3 alternatives I can think of:

*

*get the UAC prompt for every single command (I would not like that)

*start a process that is elevated, this can then call whatever it wants -> needs an additional project (.exe) which I would like to avoid, also makes deployment more difficult (additional file)

*create a batch file on the fly, run it elevated. This I also want to avoid, since there could be password information in plain text in that file (e. g. user/password for proxy). I would at least have to make sure to always overwrite its contents and then delete it.

How to handle this?

A: I think you've already diagnosed the issue, and enumerated your available options. To my mind the best option is to use runas to create a new elevated process, and get that process to do the work.
The other process need not be a different executable it could be your existing executable started with particular command line arguments. Once you have another process running elevated, you can certainly use cmd with redirected stdin/stdout to do the work. However, why use net stop/start rather than the service API? And can you do the .config file modification without starting a separate process?

Read a brief summary of this topic
Mark Robson, (born December 4, 1913, Montreal, Quebec, Canada—died June 20, 1978, London, England), Canadian-born American filmmaker who directed the boxing classics Champion (1949) and The Harder They Fall (1956) as well as such commercial blockbusters as Peyton Place (1957) and Valley of the Dolls (1967).
After he attended the University of California, Los Angeles, Robson began working in Twentieth Century-Fox's property department. In the early 1940s he became an assistant editor at RKO, working (uncredited) on Orson Welles's first two films, Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942). Robson's first solo editor credit was for The Falcon's Brother (1942). Producer Val Lewton then hired him to edit director Jacques Tourneur's Cat People (1942), a hugely successful B-grade horror film. After he edited the atmospheric Journey into Fear, another project with Welles (who cowrote and acted in the thriller), Robson worked on I Walked with a Zombie (1943) and The Leopard Man (1943), both of which were directed by Tourneur and produced by Lewton.
Kirk Douglas and Marilyn Maxwell
In 1943 Lewton gave Robson his first directorial assignment, The Seventh Victim, an eerie tale of witchcraft set in New York City's Greenwich Village. Robson made several other horror films for Lewton, including The Ghost Ship (1943), Isle of the Dead (1945), and Bedlam (1946); the latter two starred Boris Karloff. Robson did not direct again until 1949. That year he made two pictures for Stanley Kramer's production company, Screen Plays Inc.: Champion and Home of the Brave. The former starred Kirk Douglas in an Academy Award-nominated performance as a ruthless boxer. Considered a classic by many, the film, which was based on a Ring Lardner story, helped establish Douglas as a star. Home of the Brave was an adaptation of Arthur Laurents's play, with James Edwards as an African American soldier who is ostracized and harassed by fellow servicemen. Its unforgiving exploration of racism was daring for its time, and the film garnered critical praise.
Robson returned to RKO for Roughshod, a western that was a showcase for Gloria Grahame, and My Foolish Heart (both 1949), which was adapted from the short story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" by J.D. Salinger; the author was reportedly so displeased with the sentimental romance that he refused to allow his other works to be made into films.
Robson began the decade with Edge of Doom (1950), a grim film noir about religious belief and social inequality that was a commercial disappointment; Farley Granger starred as an unstable man who becomes distraught over the death of his mother and kills a priest who refuses to provide a costly funeral. Granger was better in the Korean War drama I Want You, and the critically acclaimed Bright Victory (both 1951) featured Arthur Kennedy as a blinded soldier adjusting to civilian life. In 1953 Robson directed Return to Paradise, an adaptation of a James Michener novel, with Gary Cooper as a drifter. The following year the director made a rare foray into comedy with Phffft; it starred Jack Lemmon and Judy Holliday as a couple that rue their recent divorce. The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954), from a Michener novel, was a popular Korean War tale starring William Holden as a navy bomber pilot recalled to active duty, much to the dismay of his wife (played by Grace Kelly). Robson next made A Prize of Gold (1955), an action drama that featured Richard Widmark as an army sergeant stationed in Berlin who helps steal a shipment of gold to help relocate a group of war orphans.
The Harder They Fall
Robson returned to more socially conscious fare with Trial (1955), a courtroom drama about a Mexican teenager who is accused of raping and killing a white girl; it starred Glenn Ford as a defense attorney and Katy Jurado as the boy's mother. The caustic The Harder They Fall (1956) was Robson's acclaimed adaptation of Budd Schulberg's novel about corruption in boxing; it was based on the life of Primo Carnera. Humphrey Bogart (in his final film) gave a celebrated performance as an unemployed sportswriter who becomes a publicist for a shady promoter (Rod Steiger). Less successful was the romantic comedy The Little Hut (1957), which starred Granger, Ava Gardner, and David Niven as shipwreck survivors who are stranded on a desert island.
Robson rebounded with Peyton Place (1957), an adaptation of Grace Metalious's best-selling novel about the scandals in a small New England town. Most of the work's sensationalistic elements—notably sadomasochism, incest, and abortion—were toned down or eliminated from the film version. Nevertheless, the novel's many fans flocked to the theatres, making the melodrama one of year's top-grossing films. In addition, it drew critical praise, earning nine Oscar nominations, including ones for best picture and actress (Lana Turner). Robson also received an Oscar nod for his direction. He shifted gears with Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958), a fact-based drama that starred Ingrid Bergman as an English missionary leading a group of children out of China just before World War II; with it, Robson earned another Academy Award nomination for best director.
In 1960 Robson directed From the Terrace, an adaptation of John O'Hara's novel about an businessman (Paul Newman) whose career ambitions wreak havoc on his personal life; Joanne Woodward and Myrna Loy also starred in the film. Next was Nine Hours to Rama (1963), an ambitious drama about the events leading up to Gandhi's assassination. Robson reteamed with Newman on The Prize (1963), a political thriller adapted from Irving Wallace's sensationalist best seller. Von Ryan's Express (1965) was one of Frank Sinatra's better films, a well-paced World War II adventure about an escape from a POW camp. Robson had less success with Lost Command (1966), a drama about the Algerian War, starring Anthony Quinn, George Segal, and Alain Delon.
Robson next directed Valley of the Dolls (1967), a melodrama based on Jacqueline Susann's salacious best seller about the personal and professional struggles of three women. Although widely panned, the film was a box-office hit, and it developed a cult following for its campy quality, especially the over-the-top performances by Patty Duke, Barbara Parkins, Sharon Tate, Susan Hayward, and Joey Bishop. Daddy's Gone a-Hunting (1969), a small suspense film, earned less attention, and Happy Birthday, Wanda June (1971) was a flawed adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's play, with Steiger as a big-game hunter who returns home after having been missing in the Amazon for eight years. The low-budget Limbo (1972) was notable for being among the first films about the Vietnam War to explore its impact on the home front.
Charlton Heston in Earthquake
Robson returned to more-commercial fare with Earthquake (1974), a disaster film set in Los Angeles. With its Oscar-winning special effects and an all-star cast that included Gardner and Charlton Heston, the film was a huge box-office hit. Robson's last film was Avalanche Express (1979), a Cold War thriller that starred Lee Marvin and Robert Shaw. During postproduction work on the movie, Robson suffered a fatal heart attack.

The scripts is not deploying and i can find the image in AWS CLUSTER. Would really need the community help in getting around the problem. Thanks.


Kinloch – Wildland's first major restoration – is, by virtue of its remoteness, vastness and sheer beauty, moving and inspiring in equal measure.
Once a private lodge of the Duke of Sutherland, Kinloch – in the Kyle of Sutherland – has been restored to offer a fabulously eclectic blend of the Highlands and contemporary Scandi-style; a classic sporting lodge given a whole new lease of life.
With fields as far as the eye can see, rivers bordered by ever-increasing woodland, and set amidst some of Scotland's most dramatic landscapes, this is the ideal retreat offering solitude and comfort up in the rugged north. Kinloch's beautiful conservatory offers a view of the spectacular castellated north face of Ben Loyal, one of the Highlands' most challenging and rewarding Munros – a mountain of over 3000' – it's the perfect base from which to stalk Red Deer and keep an eye open for Golden eagles flying above.
With space enough to sleep twelve, this magical place comes with its own housekeeper and chef, and a focus towards simple traditional fayre sourced locally and prepared fresh just for you. It's all about the simple things; a place to relax with family, friends, or even to surround yourself with silence and solitude if that's what you crave.
Kinloch is such a transcendently beautiful landscape it has already been designated a National Scenic Area (NSA). Embracing the sense of responsibility this imposes, we have a focused infrastructure plan that has successfully resolved the undergrounding of legacy telegraph pole power lines that currently span parts of the estate. The telegraph poles are few and the estate is huge, it's unlikely you would ever see them. But, this work is one of those relatively small tasks we set ourselves that has the power to make a whole world of difference once completed.

Ta Da! Announcing a new addition to my series of Breed Story Dog Tag Prints. This latest one is for all you Labrador Lovers out there… and I know there's a lot of you, as the Labrador is the number one breed in both the UK and the USA… and now I know why!
Determination is one of the Labrador character traits on the print and funnily enough, the last couple of weeks on our daily walks, Figo and I have met some particularly determined Labs whose show of determination mainly related to stealing Figo's ball and refusing to give it back! One lady tried to prise it from some very firmly clamped jaws (to no avail) and the others simply evaded capture, much to the embarrassment of their owners.
The prints combine my hand drawn lettering with illustration and they are each hand printed on my press in a chocolate brown ink – and individually signed.
The prints can also be purchased framed in a selection of my handmade reclaimed wooden frames, or they will fit happily in a ready made frame, like the Ikea Ribba (52x52cm square frame with matt/mount included).


Hey guys, finally getting into streaming more regularly and trying to build a bit of a community. Just stream some lowstakes ($12/$15/$24) hu hypers, occasionally throw in some spins or some random other games on the side.
Focus of my stream is on providing insightful (??) commentary and actually talking about strat, which is something that imo most streamers don't do enough. Would love to see anyone stop by and become part of the stream! We're small right now, but let's see what happens.
Re: Dunce Hu Hyper Streams!
Finally relocated and will be streaming a bunch throughout Jan and Feb at least. Stream is live!
Up again, gonna be streaming most days this month!
Look forward to watching, brave move to give hole cards away at mids though isn't it?
Stream is now live! $15 hyper action, I guess.
At $15s I pretty much only get fish games (quite different from my strat vs. regs) and I stream on a long enough delay that mid-hand sniping is impossible. I haven't streamed any reg games at $30s (battling the cartel) and might cut stream if a reg started targeting me during my streaming hours at $15s.
For now I think it's fine, but definitely something I'll keep an eye on in the future.
Have had some net problems here the past week or so unfortunately, but going to give streaming another shot today. Live in a few minutes!
Live again with some more hypers and chill. Feel free to come by and ask questions!
Trying to learn some spins, stream will be live for a while with some lowstakes ($7) spin action and plenty of spews I'm sure.
Edit: Sorry, some personal stuff popped up but will be live again within an hour or so.
Going live for real this time!
Got a provisional $30 division membership yesterday, so going live with some celebratory fish games! Come drop by if you want.
Live again with a slightly new OBS Studio look. Drop in for some $30 hyper action!
Live again with some hu hyper action. Drop by!
Stream is up, net is back to not being horrible!
Live again for a short (90 min?) stream today.
Live again, actually putting in some decent days this month so feel free to drop in or toss the stream a follow if you want some hu hyper action!
Trying to stream with my new net setup in Japan! Bump.
Seemed alright yesterday, so up for an hour or two today as well!
Up again, come drop by for some hu hyper action!


In the disaster prone and heavily populated West Java province, IOM Indonesia has developed a programme to strengthen Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) capacity and to enhance community resilience in seven districts. This programme will run from May 2012 until May 2014 and aims to enhance official disaster management capacity, integrate government agencies into coordinated disaster management plan and to empower communities to participate in the disaster management implementation. Despite a two-month delay due to flooding, IOM has engaged in several capacity building activities with the newly formed disaster management agencies (BPBD), including training over 200 officials in basic disaster management and more than 50 officials in advanced disaster management. IOM has held 12 DRR awareness campaigns for the general public as in addition to promoting awareness in 25 radio addresses.
In May 2013, IOM Namibia completed two training of trainers in disaster risk management, in partnership with the Office of the Prime Minister and with financial assistance from USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. The trainings are part of a regional programme, including Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique, with the aim to enhance national disaster risk management capacity for risk reduction and resilience in southern Africa. The participating trainers became certified disaster risk management trainers with the responsibility to train fellow disaster risk management actors at national, regional and local level as well as most-at-risk communities. The trainings and the training package used in Namibia build on the national framework for disaster risk management and the country's strong commitment to address the risks of hazards such as flood, drought and fire. The capacity building approach is derived from the Camp Coordination and Camp Management capacity building programmes implemented in Namibia in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
In preparation for Tropical Storms Isaac and Sandy that hit Haiti in August and October 2012, IOM helped carry out the first and second ever preventative evacuations of exposed communities. In both cases, IOM contributed with logistical, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) support and registration support for local civil protection authorities. The steps taken by the Government of Haiti and IOM were part of the Guide to Evacuation Shelter Management developed by IOM and adopted by the Secretariat Permanent de Gestion des Risques des Desastres in 2011.
