McGregor granted continuance from NAC
Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov were scheduled to face the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Monday Dec. 10 for a hearing stemming from their post-fight brawl at UFC 229. McGregor's case will not be heard now as his team has requested and been granted a continuance. McGregor will still face the commission for a hearing at a later date. Marc Raimondi at MMA Fighting was first to report the news. At this time, Khabib Nurmagomedov is still scheduled to face the commission on Monday. MMATorch has reached out to Nurmagomedov's management to see if he will also be seeking a continuance but they did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Greg Hardy to make UFC debut on same card as Rachael Ostovich
Former NFL star Greg Hardy will make his official UFC debut next month when he fights Allen Crowder on Jan. 19, UFC's debut on ESPN+. Dana White confirmed the booking with ESPN earlier today. Hardy's association with UFC has been controversial due to his history of domestic abuse. Hardy was initially sentenced to 60-days in jail on domestic violence charges but on appeal the charges were dropped when the alleged victim failed to appear in court.
Hardy will appear on the same card as domestic abuse survivor Rachael Ostovich, who was hospitalized with a broken orbital bone after her husband, Arnold Berdon allegedly punched her "repeatedly on the head, face, ribs." Ostovich originally was said to have pulled out from the fight but then came out with her intention to continue with the fight with Paige VanZant.

-Anthony Getschel has been sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter in the death of former UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo. Getschel pleaded guilty to the charges after he was said to have hit Jimmo with his truck in June 2016. "I'm very sorry for the pain that I caused," Getschel said. "I'll never be able to forgive myself for what happened."
–Brian Ortega told media on Monday that he will be taking three months off after UFC 231 to film a "big" movie. "I've gotta check, but I think I'll be the first UFC fighter in history to have the lead role in a big movie."
–Ortega is also looking ahead to a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the future. "If I play my cards right, it's within reach," Ortega said.
–Matt Mitrione will fight Sergei Kharitonov at a Bellator card on Feb. 15 from Uncasville, Connecticut.

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor suspended nine and six months respectively for UFC 229 brawl
MCGRATH: Predictions for the rest of 2018 – Khabib, Jones, Cormier, McGregor


Is the Bush administration competent? There is enough information at hand on which to base an objective opinion.
On the eve of President Bush's second term, the US economy has fewer jobs than when Bush was inaugurated four years ago.
During Bush's first term, the US economy was unable to create jobs in both export and import-competitive sectors. The formerly powerful US jobs machine has been allowed to run down to the point that jobs can only be created in nontradable domestic services.
The service jobs that have been created are too few in number to offset the loss of manufacturing and knowledge jobs. Unemployed manufacturing workers, US software engineers, computer programers, and IT workers number in the hundreds of thousands.
During Bush's first term, the value of the US dollar declined dramatically in relation to other traded currencies. The extraordinary diminution in the dollar's exchange value threatens its role as the world's reserve currency. If the dollar loses its role as reserve currency, there will be catastrophic consequences for US living standards and superpower status.
The decline in the dollar's exchange value has failed to reduce the US trade deficit, because the Bush administration permits China to peg its currency to the dollar. As the dollar declines, China's currency declines with it, thus maintaining China's advantage in US markets while China gains greater advantage in all other markets. Because China pegs its currency to the dollar, the dollar's decline has not reduced the advantage of outsourcing to China.
The ink in the federal budget is as red as that in the trade account. A country with a $440 billion budget deficit and a $600 billion trade deficit is not financially positioned to start a war in the Middle East. Instead of dealing with serious economic problems at home, Bush marched off to a gratuitous war.
Bush's invasion of Iraq is one of the greatest strategic blunders in history. The Bush administration assumed that the invasion and occupation of Iraq would be a "cakewalk," because the indigenous population would welcome and support Americans as liberators.
The reality is that all available US troops are tied down by a few thousand lightly armed insurgents who have the support of the Iraqi people. The US is so short of military manpower that it has been forced to call up the reserves and the National Guard, to keep troops deployed who have served their time in uniform, and, now, to call up men in their 50s who have not been in uniform for 20 years.
Bush's invasion has turned not only Iraqis but all of the Middle East against the US. Where there were no terrorists and no support for terrorists, there are now tens of thousands of terrorists. America's puppet regimes in Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are endangered by the anti-Americanism that is engulfing the Middle East.
Like Hitler at Stalingrad, Bush cannot recognize the danger. Unable to occupy Iraq, Bush plans to expand the war to Iran and Syria. The identical Bush officials who lied about Iraq having nuclear weapons or weapons programs now lie about Iran having nuclear weapons or weapons programs.
Immune to evidence, the Bush administration is delusional and capable of horrendous miscalculation. The flowers with which the US Department of Defense said our troops would be greeted in Iraq turned out to be bullets, rocket-propelled grenades, and roadside bombs.
On November 22, the US military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, reported that its doctors have treated 20,802 US troops from Iraq. Few of the injured have been able to return to their units.
That is twice the casualty figure reported by the Pentagon and comprises 15% of the US army in Iraq. In exchange, since the invasion the US has killed some 100,000 Iraqi civilians and perhaps 2,000 insurgents.
The ultimate test of competence is ability to admit mistakes. This the Bush administration cannot do. Steadfastly denying any mistake, Bush is promoting those responsible for the Iraq carnage to higher office. Will four more years of Bush terminate America's superpower status?
When Bush attacked Iraq, he jettisoned a half century of American foreign policy. He unilaterally threw diplomacy and allies out the door to invade a country that had done nothing to the US despite suffering a decade of American bombing and embargoes that, according to the UN, killed 500,000 Iraqi children.
Indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians and torture in US military prisons have destroyed the virtuous image that Bush claims for US aggression.
Not content to cause turmoil in the Middle East, the Bush administration is arrogantly and foolishly stirring the pot in Ukraine, interfering in an election in Russia's sphere of influence. In just four years, Bush has created a new image of America as a reckless hypocrite that lectures others about democracy, while engaging in electoral fraud in Ohio and Florida and imposing a puppet government on Iraq at the point of bayonets.

The Cheltenham Festival…
The big horse racing business of the Cheltenham Festival and betting tips by an involved punter who won't be reaching for the cash-out option.
Roy Brindley
Outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland it may have never been heard of but for those who live in one of those two countries, who have the remotest interest in horse racing or gambling per se, The Cheltenham Festival is the Holy Grail of jumps racing and the racecourse itself a Mecca to thousands of punters annually during its four days of racing in mid-March.
The centrepiece race of the Cheltenham Festival is the Gold Cup, a 3-mile 2-furlong (5,230 metres) chase race first staged here in 1924. That meeting, the fourth and final day of the festival, will attract a sell-out capacity crowd of 67,250 people. 240,000 people are expected to attend in total.
This is big business. A business which really took off in the mid 60's when the Irish-trained superstar Arkle tackled the great English hope Mill House. In the fifty years hence Cheltenham has been very much an English vs the Irish affair albeit in the finest possible spirits.
In this modern era, such is the appetite of Irish race-goers, Ryanair put on an additional 30 flights for their Dublin-Birmingham route and the cost of ferry tickets if you can get one, sky-rocket.
Before the Euro was introduced to uniform Europe the exchange rate between the British Pound and the Irish Punt actually shifted between three and five percent every March – such was the desire of the visitors to buy currency to gamble with.
Relatively speaking the total prize-money is still small, £3.825m (c€5.1m), but factoring in the 235,000 pints of Guinness that are sold, the 12,000 bottles of champagne consumed, 4,500 people that are employed for the week and safe in the knowledge baby Jesus would have little chance in finding a manger within a 100km radius of the racecourse, the value to the local economy is clearly in the tens of millions.
…and yet, that is small change when compared to the betting turnover. This year it is expected to top €1 billion! To coin a phrase, the result is a veritable punting 'orgy' and Shangri-La to informed punters.
Outrageous Irish firm Paddy Power normally fire the opening salvo a fortnight before the first race starts identifying the biggest favourite of the opening days racing and declaring all losing bets in that race will be refunded if that favourite wins.
This is just one of several huge carrots that are dangled in punters faces. Those juicy 'sign-up' bonus offers bookmakers advertise …these are seemingly on offer on every race to all punters, old and new, every day.
And yet with all this value in your face even the most diligent, dedicated and disciplined punters manage to throw their morals out of the window and get involved in some good old fashioned punting.
Amongst the scores of books already open – in addition to the long-range markets on all 27 Festival races – I'm very taken with William Hill's market on the number of repeat winners in the four daily feature races: The Champion Hurdle, The Champion Chase, The World Hurdle and the Gold Cup.
Now, statistically a back-to-back winner of a Cheltenham showpiece race is a near formality. Istabraq won three consecutive Champion Hurdles between 1998 and 2000; Hardy Eustace was a repeat winner in 2004/5. There's been some great World Hurdle winners such as Baracouda (2002/3); Inglis Drever (2005/7/8) and Big Bucks (2009/10/11/12) while Master Minded won back-to-back Champion Chases in 2008/9 and Best Mate owned the Gold Cup between 2002 and 2004.
William Hill are going 5/4 about one of last season's major race winners going on to enjoy a repeat victory and 8/1 about two or more of them retaining their title. This means you will have:
Jezki in the Champion Hurdle (currently 6/1)
Sire De Grugy in the Queen Mother Champion Chase (currently 7/1)
More Of That in the World Hurdle (currently 6/1 but described by his trainer as a 'doubtful runner' just last week).
and Lord Windermere in the Gold Cup (currently 14/1).
all running for you. Personally I much prefer the 4/5 about no returning Champion to prevail and after Day 1. The stats do not know what a major disappointment these horses have been this season and when Jezki gets turned over on Day 1, I expect those with a feint-heart will be able to trade out with a clear profit quite easily.
Personally, as an involved punter, I'll not be reaching for the cash-out option and plan to be collecting at the end of the week.

Madison, Wisconsin is a very interesting place. I just finished writing a piece about places of interest in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which is Packers country. Now it's time to look for attractions and places of interest in Madison, Wisconsin, which by the way is the state capitol. That state capitol building is actually a great place to start.
One reviewer paints a picture of the building as very ornate and a place for visitors to have plenty of photo opportunities. You can take a tour of the building, and if you've got kids with you, they will definitely have fun. There is one local resident that left a review of the capitol building and said they lived close by yet visit this place frequently. If it's a place to be for the locals, then you can bet it's also a good place to visit for the vacationers. Of course, you also have to pay a visit to Capitol Square to make it a complete outing.
Next up is Henry Villa's Zoo. According to multiple reviews, it's a place that you'll want to plan on spending at least a couple of hours at, so this can be one of those all-day events that gets the kids tired enough to sit still for dinner. And when you expect to visit a zoo, you think you're going to have to pay, right? Well, at this zoo, admission is free, which is quite a treat.
The Olbrich Botanical Gardens is another great place to visit. According to reviews, while all seasons are nice here, it's the fall time that really stands out. What time of year will you be visiting Madison, Wisconsin? Remember that certain places of interest will be much better suited for certain times of year. Gorgeous fountains, birds and butterflies are all throughout these gardens, and it's all definitely worth taking the time to visit.
Are you like me and enjoy visiting farmer's markets? Well, the Madison Farmer's Market would be a place I would want to visit. Imagine what all fresh produce you could finds, and there is a wide selection of fresh meats, too. There is a place in Texas I like to go to that serves up fresh produce and fresh meat that is cured right there at the facility. These are the types of places you want to visit during the summer harvest and when you can enjoy the experience and pick up some local treats. Evidently, there is a view from this place of the capitol that is spectacular, and also some great coffee.
You might also want to visit the University of Wisconsin and Camp Randall Stadium. If it's some culture through art that you're looking for, there is the Chazen Museum of Art. I think my first stop, however, would be to watch a Madison Mallards minor league baseball game. I'm a sucker for baseball, and while I love going to major league baseball games, minor league games are very much fun.
The University of Wisconsin has a Geology Museum, so I definitely think I'd have to pay a visit to the university, which was mentioned earlier. For a scenic view, a great walk, a bike ride and more, one place you want to visit is the Lake Monona Shoreline. As you can imagine, the best place to do this might be during the summertime.
Now what places of interest in Madison, Wisconsin are on your radar? Trust me, there is plenty more to do. These are only part of what waits for you when you visit the state capitol of Wisconsin.

Culture and Policy Development
Significance of Culturally Appropriate Health Policies
The population of the United States consists of people from various cultures. Therefore, it is crucial for the healthcare practitioners to demonstrate cultural competence. The practice not only provides the facility with reputation benefits, but also improves public health (Campbell, 2011). Currently, the US is battling antibiotic-resistant bacteria challenges alongside many viruses leaving most citizens with failed respiratory systems. As a result, cultural sensitivity has become a vital necessity in the US.
Globalization has made it possible for many people across the globe to settle in the US. Unfortunately, some of these immigrants are vulnerable to various bacterial and viral infections. In the long run, these ailments not only affect the particular ethnicities but also spread even to their neighbors leaving hundreds of people sick. No matter how vigorous the public health campaigns may appear, they might not help different ethnicities in curbing these illnesses. For instance, the immigrants might show some reluctance in adopting the policies that have proved useful in the US in the past (Lee et al., 2002).
Moreover, some of the immigrants in the US may be new to the government-sponsored health care initiatives thus not willing to participate in them. For instance, some of the immigrants are from developing countries where corruption as well as institutional incompetence characterizes home operations (Campbell, 2011). Consequently, government funds meant for improving public health end up in the pockets of corrupt officials. The result is that the unsuspecting citizens do not have an idea of the health services they should be enjoying. When they move to other states, they still have the mentality that the government does not have a part to play in necessitating good public health. As a result, they are reluctant to accept such offers when presented to them in a foreign country (Allen & Heald, 2004).
Developing a Policy that Gets Community Support
All the medical personnel should take the issue of cultural sensitivity ery seriously as a way of improving public health. This can be demonstrated through designing public health campaigns that point out at the cultural diversities in the US as well as in the world (Lee et al., 2002). Therefore, it pays if such campaigns reach out to the literate majority in each community and use them as a tool to convince their larger communities to undertake the recommended medical procedures (Campbell, 2011). On the same note, such personalities are essential in advising the campaign drivers on how to shape their campaigns so that they can appeal to a bigger audience since they already know what attracts fellow community members.
Additionally, when the public health campaigns aim at particular communities, the service announcement should be delivered in a language the target audience can understand. As a result, it shall be an easier task curbing the spread of communicable diseases. Moreover, medical practitioners should invest a lot of time in guiding the target communities about personal hygiene. Besides, they should introduce health care facilities in areas occupied by the vulnerable communities. The bottom line of generating meaningful policies is to make them appealing to the risk communities (Fortier, 2008).
Another way to get community support for the policies is through offering cultural sensitivity training to the staff members of any medical facility. Most often than not, employees in the healthcare avenues will interact with patients from the newly established communities. However, unless they exercise cultural sensitivity, the interaction might not yield any health benefits (Porter, 2006). Some of these patients may have their roots in countries that do not have a health care system. Alternatively, the new communities might differ significantly from the larger society that the attending personnel encounter on a daily basis.
Most people who leave their countries and settle in foreign lands find that nobody values their customs and traditions even to the smallest degree. Therefore, it would make them feel welcome and part of the larger society when their attending personnel demonstrate respect for their beliefs. As a result, they enjoy the sense of belonging, and the professional takes advantage of this newly established relationship to educate the client further on the effective ways of curbing various ailments. Moreover, the physician can explain the significance of some medical procedures such as vaccination. Generally, policies should not only encourage people to embrace different westernized treatments but also ensure that the provisions are available (Fortier, 2008). A lot of people would wish to seek medical treatment, but they lack the access.
How to Engage the Community in Developing a Policy
One way of engaging the community in policy development is through becoming conversant with many cultures within a given community. For instance, learning about their language and even using their local dialect to communicate would appeal to them thus increasing their reception of the westernized treatment (Porter, 2006). Moreover, finding out the type of approach that the community deems respectful and using it in addressing them makes them warm up to the nurse. As a result, they give their views about the policy whereby a nurse uses this feedback to design an initiative that serves them better.
My Insights Utilizing the Learning Resources
In conclusion, globalization has seen many people settling in the US with some of them bringing certain diseases and thus transmitting them to the larger population. Therefore, it calls for the healthcare practitioners to practice cultural competence as a way of convincing the risk communities to undertake conventional medications. In developing public health policies, it is crucial for the project managers to engage the community leaders since they act as a guide in advising them about the content that will appeal to most members. Getting the community members to participate in policy development involves learning their culture such as language and acting in a manner that suggests that you respect and value their beliefs. In return, they shall give you ideas on how to develop a public health policy that appeals to them.

Johnny Damon's Mansion Pays Tribute To His Red Sox Playing Days (Video)
by Darren Hartwell on Thu, May 29, 2014 at 10:21AM
Johnny Damon has come a long way since his lovable band of "idiots" made a historic run to the World Series championship in 2004.
Yet that doesn't mean he's ready to completely put his playing days in the past.
The former Boston Red Sox outfielder teamed up with Major League Baseball and Coldwell Banker to give fans a video tour of his home, a nearly 30,000-square-foot mansion located in Florida. Your browser does not support iframes.
The home is a shrine to the two things Damon loves most: baseball and music. After kicking off the tour with a sweet drum solo, the 40-year-old shows off his extensive display of baseball memorabilia, which includes a lineup card from his All-Star Game appearance in 2005, the flashy red-white-and-blue cleats he wore during the game and, of course, a massive painting of his 2004 World Series ring.
"I'm very proud of what I was able to accomplish on a baseball field and the championships," Damon said. "I know some guys just go non-stop at collecting. Then you have to end up putting your stuff in the kitchen, in the living room. So I think we did a pretty good job."
As long as he keeps a place for his 2004 World Series mementos, Red Sox fans likely will agree.

Jason Varitek, Derek Lowe Recall Famous Trade From Mariners To Red Sox


Police in Japan have detained a 23-year-old man on suspicion of keeping a teenage girl prisoner for two years.
The 15-year-old escaped and called the police on Sunday when her kidnapper went out and left the door to his Tokyo apartment unlocked.
Police then found her alleged captor 100km away in Shizuoka region. He is thought to have tried to kill himself.
He allegedly abducted the girl in March 2014 by pretending to be a lawyer working on her parents' divorce.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Kabu Terauchi on Sunday after placing the 15-year-old in protective custody.
She appeared to be physically unharmed, local reports said.
Police said she had been locked in Mr Teruachi's apartment for most of her ordeal and had been closely watched by him when she went outside, NHK reported.
He is alleged to have kidnapped her after approaching her near her home in Asaka in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, and telling her to get into his car after inventing a story that her parents were splitting up.
Her mother found a note in her post box later that day, apparently written by her daughter and asking her parents not to look for her, Asahi Shimbun reported.
Mr Terauchi was found in Shizuoka Prefecture early on Monday after police received a call that a man had been seen walking around covered in blood.
He is being treated in hospital for neck injuries that are said to be serious but not life-threatening.

Suicides Put California Women's Prison Under Mental Health Scrutiny

Sheri Graves (on right) with her daughter Shaylene at the California Institution for Women, March 2016.
SAN JOSE, California (WOMENSENEWS)— On June 1, when the phone rang at 6:30 in the morning, Sheri Graves thought it was her daughter, 27-year-old Shaylene, making her daily call from prison.
But Shaylene's bubbly greeting wasn't on the other end of the phone. It was a prison official, calling to tell her that her daughter had committed suicide the night before in her cell.
"I couldn't believe it because I had just spoken to Shaylene and we were planning her release party, she was six weeks away from being let out of prison," says Sheri Graves, 50, who lives in Jurupa Valley, California.
But inside prison Shaylene Graves, who had been serving time for being the driver in an armed robbery in 2008, was having problems with her cellmate in the days leading up to her death.
"Shaylene's friends have called me from inside the prison telling me that she asked repeatedly to be moved from the room with the new cellmate. But no one listened," says Sheri Graves.
Shaylene Graves' death occurred in the California Institution for Women, or CIW, a crowded, all-female facility in Corona, in the southern part of the state.
Hers is the second known suicide this year at the facility, which has 1,882 inmates. CIW was criticized in January by a statewide audit for mishandling the mental health care of its prisoners, a group that has been found, nationally, to suffer a strikingly higher rate of disorders.
By June 1 at least 10 other women at the same prison had attempted to kill themselves so far this year, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The California Coalition for Women Prisoners, a prison advocacy group, says in 2015 the suicide rate at CIW was more than eight times the national rate for people in women's prisons and more than five times the rate for all California prisons.
For a 13-month period starting in May 2015, the prison saw 36 suicide attempts, according to a data tool run by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The only other all-female prison in the state, the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, has more inmates, an average of about 2,800 prisoners a month. It saw no suicides and 11 attempts in the same 13-month period, according to the same data tool.
Folsom State Prison, which houses male and female prisoners, saw one suicide and one attempt among its approximately 500 female inmates.
Suicide Attempts Data Unclear
The actual number of suicide attempts are lower than what is reported on the data tool, Vicky Waters, a spokesperson for the state prison authority, tells Women's eNews, because cases "are evaluated thoroughly to determine treatments needed for the inmate, and in those evaluations, the attempt may be re-classified, hence the difference in some of the numbers."
However, advocates at the California Coalition for Women Prisoners say the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation actually underreports suicide attempts. Members of the grassroots coalition, based in San Francisco, are both inside and outside prison. Part of its mission is to follow up on suicides and attempted suicides and meet with inmates.
Through an online petition, the group is asking California Gov. Jerry Brown and a State Senate committee to investigate "the ongoing failure of CIW and CDCR to prevent these tragic and untimely deaths." More than 13,500 have signed the petition.
In January 2016, a court-ordered suicide prevention audit of 18 California prisons concluded that the California Institution for Women "continued to be a problematic institution that exhibited numerous poor practices in the area of suicide prevention."
Lindsay Hayes, a nationally recognized expert in the field of suicide prevention within jails, prisons and juvenile detention, performed the audit. By court order he has monitored suicide prevention practices at other prisons in the state.
His report also found that staff at the California Institution for Women recorded more than 400 emergency mental health referrals for suicidal behavior in a six-month period in 2015, only nine of which entered the mental health tracking system.
The staggering disparity in the data indicates that staff was not completing required forms to refer inmates for mental health services, Hayes found.
In an email response, Waters, the spokesperson for the state prison authority, said prison staff is improving the way they log and keep records, including the ones criticized by the Hayes report.
'Not Doing Enough'
Colby Lenz, a Los Angeles-based legal advocate with the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, says the prison is still not doing enough to address administrative problems and staff attitudes. She says inmates at the California Institution for Women and other prisons have told her that if they complain about the conditions in their cell or say they will commit suicide, officers won't believe them. Instead of finding help, women who reach out risk getting barred from group programs, losing telephone privileges and spending almost all of their time in their cells, segregated from other people.
Lenz points to the case of Kathy Auclair, who tried to hang herself in the shower inside the California Institution for Women on April 21. She had had a history of mental health problems and had recently been on suicide watch.
Lenz met with Auclair after the suicide attempt and says Auclair asked nine correctional officers for help and told three other officers she was going to hurt herself. Instead of referring her to a mental health specialist, they put her in an isolated cell.
"Kathy's requests were not taken seriously and finally she couldn't take it anymore," says Lenz.
Auclair was put in medical isolation after her failed suicide attempt. "That kind of isolation is not what someone who just attempted suicide needs," says Lenz. "Kathy lost 18 pounds in three weeks after the [attempted suicide] incident and while in medical isolation."
Waters did not comment on Auclair's case or on any other specific prisoner cases, citing privacy requirements. "Specific information on patient's medical records… is protected under the federal law HIPAA," Waters said, referring to the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act.
Lenz says there is also a problem when inmates "finish up" a course of treatment and stop seeing a mental health specialist. If they develop new issues, she says, they often rely on prison guards to relay their problems, which doesn't work. "Many of the women are practically begging to get treatment, but many guards just pass it off as the women using mental illness excuses to get attention or be manipulative," says Lenz.
The Correctional Department's mental health policy manual allows inmates to seek a clinical interview to discuss their mental health needs. And these "self-referrals" are supposed to be collected on a daily basis from each housing unit and processed the same way as correctional staff referrals.
Waters, of the prison authority, says both custody and mental health staff at the California Institution for Women meet monthly to review and address incidents of self-harm and suicide. "All custody, mental health and medical personnel have received additional training on suicide prevention and early warning signs and symptoms," she says.
Coleman v. Brown
Michael Bien, a legal advocate for better mental health treatment of prisoners, was a lead attorney in Coleman v. Brown, a 1995 class action lawsuit between a group of prisoners with severe mental disorders and the state of California. The judge in the case determined that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was not providing adequate care to prisoners with mental illness.
The case is ongoing with a special representative designated by the court to monitor and report on the Corrections Department's compliance with the court order.
"Ninety percent of contact with prisoners is with correctional staff and these people get no clinical training. They are taught to be tough and restrain inmates," Bien says.
Correctional officers are not allowed to make judgements on suicidality and must record and report any information they hear or see, Bien says. State policy says all staff must refer an inmate for mental health services if "an inmate verbalizes thoughts of suicide or self-harm behavior."
But prisoners can be inhibited from saying anything. "Guards make it unpleasant for people who talk about suicide. It is a way of discouraging people to come forward," Bien says.
Bien adds that it's tough to change attitudes and the culture inside prisons, especially when those changes are being ordered by a court.
Lenz and Bien both say crowding at the California Institution for Women, as in most California prisons, strains mental health services and worsens the general attitude of staff.
The California Institution for Women is at 135 percent capacity, according to the Corrections Department's monthly prison population report for July 1. That is slightly under the 137.5 percent mark that a court ordered in 2013 for all California prisons, but Bien says it is too high and beds in the higher levels of mental health services can run short.
The California Institution for Women currently has 118 mental health staff, most of whom are full time, says Waters. But most of them, 71, are psychiatric technicians with limited training and authority. There are four full-time psychiatrists and 22 full-time clinical psychologists.
Avoiding Treatment
Inmates have their own reasons for avoiding treatment. Lenz says that women at CIW have reported being strip searched when they exit or enter their housing units.
The Correction Department's Waters says these unclothed body searches are not supposed to be conducted if an inmate is to been seen by mental health staff.
"That might be their policy, but it is not their practice," says Lenz, adding that prisoners have told her that correctional staff can conduct the strip searches if they "deem it necessary."
The Hayes report also found that inmates in the mental health crisis beds, a mental health treatment facility inside the prison with 24-hour nursing care, were rarely allowed to go outside. Lenz has also witnessed that. Even though state law requires that all inmates have at least 10 hours of yard or outside time a week, she says those in the mental health care beds are rarely allowed yard or outside privileges.
Lenz says prisoners "badly need fresh air and sunlight."
Family members of Erika Rocha, a 35-year-old woman who was found hanging in her cell on April 14, 2016, say she didn't receive proper mental health treatment at CIW and that it led to her worsening health and eventual death.
According to her stepmother, Linda Reza, Rocha was scheduled to be released from prison in October.
Rocha was 14 years old when she was charged and convicted of attempted murder in Los Angeles County. At 16 she was sent to an adult prison in Chowchilla California and put in solitary confinement, allegedly to protect her from other inmates. This was Rocha's first of four indefinite terms in solitary confinement. Officially, solitary confinement is called the Secure Housing Unit, or SHU, but prisoners call it "the hole."
Lenz says she met Rocha many times over the years. "Erika openly talked about attempting suicide because of the trauma she had suffered as a youth and for being in solitary confinement for so long," she says.
Reza, Rocha's 53-year-old stepmother, went to visit her in April 2013. "She had just gotten out from six months in the SHU and she was not right, very panicky and paranoid," says Reza, who started taking care of Rocha when she was 13. Rocha's mother died when Rocha was 7 and her father was in and out of prison. "She ended our visit early and I knew the SHU had made her condition worse."
"A week before she passed she had been released from suicide watch and that is when they changed her medications," says Reza.

One of the tools that is used when developing an engine control system is the Mean Value Engine Model (MVEM). The thesis examines the possibility of using an MVEM that originally was designed to model a SAAB B235R engine to model the considerably different GM Ecotec LNF engine. Engine data was measured at Vehicular Systems laboratory and the measurements were then used to tune the parameters of the MVEM's submodels. The majority of the components in the original MVEM could be tuned to a good or acceptable performance without any modifications. The submodels describing the port air mass flow, compressor air mass flow and turbine efficiency would all benefit from being modified or replaced, this was however only done for the turbine efficiency model, leaving the improvements of the remaining two submodels as future work.

About Erik-Peter Mortensen
As a 4th generation musician Erik-Peter Mortensen (aka Erik or EP) started singing professionally since the age of 9, first at the Metropolitan & New York City Opera Children's Choruses, and then in many professional choirs through the present (most recently with the Schola of St. Agnes Church, in midtown Manhattan. Having naturally developed a passionate love for Early, Baroque, and Classical music, he wishes to make the beauty of these earlier styles appeal to much wider audiences, either through fusing it with other musical styles, creating new styles, or promulgating it through his own music scoring for films, video games, and other multimedia formats. EP holds a Music B.A. from Columbia University, NY and a Master Certificate for Orchestration for FIlm and TV from Berklee Music, MA.
While attending St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's High School in New York, he was a bass and founding member of its madrigal ensemble, The Not-Ready-for-Roylaty Singers (NRFRS), and performed in many concert programs and outside performances, developing a particular knowledge and passion for this style of singing. While subsequently enrolled at Columbia University, he founded the New York Madrigal Singers (NYMS) during his junior year. The ensemble performed dozens of times over the next 7 years, producing several CD's worth of recordings, and receiving two favorable reviews by Alan Kozin, music critic of The New York Times.
Also at Columbia, Erik-Peter studied "Renaissance Counterpoint" with David Rakowski, "Advanced Composition" with Jeff Nichols, and "Counterpoint in the style of J.S. Bach" with Severine Neff. Thus it's no coincidence that since his graduation in 1992 with a B.A. in music, Cum Laude, much of EP's orchestral and instrumental compositional styles have been greatly influenced by Bach, while his choral works remain greatly influenced by the High Renaissance masters. In 2015, he completed his "Master Certificate for Orchestration for Film & TV" at Berkleemusic.com, the online extension of Berklee College of Music with a 4.0 GPA.
Not only a performer, composer and conductor, Erik-Peter is also a professional audio engineer, and has created his own production company called "Papagena Productions" (in tribute to one of his favorite Mozart opera characters from "The Magic Flute"), of which "Cathedral Records" is its main independent label. The mission of Cathedral is to produce and release a broad range of old, new and hybrid works with a Classical Music influence.
Musical Style
Representing the experimental (he would call it 'multi-dimensional'!) end of the spectrum, Erik-Peter's masterful compositions, songs and recordings are typified by a hybrid writing style which combines Medieval and Renaissance modal synthesis with Baroque and Classical counterpoint and harmonic language, all suffused with Romantic passion, in order to create pieces of symphonic & sweeping orchestral impact.
If you imagine the epic film scores of composer John Williams, you're on the right track to imagining Erik-Peter's music-- however, to get all the way there, you also need to imagine all of the above becoming fused with bouncy pop, rock, folk, world and dance grooves and traditions.
Erik-Peter, or EP, is equally at home with each of these techniques and styles. His wide-ranging music shows us that he is just as capable of creating a strictly Baroque fugue on subjects as varied as the melodies of 'Mr. Softee' and 'Hey Jude', as he is in combining the varied stylistic elements of rock, Gregorian Chant, and classic Hollywood (with the occasional touch of flamenco guitar) as he has done in some of his more recent creations, such as his popular song 'Hero's Quest' and the film-score worthy 'Dragon Song'.

Bed Bugs Are Immune to Standard Bed Bug Treatments. Natural Alternatives Work 100% of The Time.
After going over 60 years without major bed bug infestation across the US, there has been an increasing resurgence of bed bugs across the country. Bed bugs are shutting down businesses and being found at your local movie theaters and clothing stores as they inch closer and closer to your home.
These bed bug outbreaks are located in just about every city in the country. The major national media has focused on New York City and Ohio, however a recent poll of major pest control companies reports that all major cities as well as most small cities have had at least a number of occurrences of bed bugs in the last 2 years.
The decision to use standard pesticides versus natural safer alternatives is an easy one. The primary reason that bed bugs have made a resurgence in the last few years is that bed bugs have become immune to standard pesticides, including those readily marketed by major pest control companies and approved by the EPA. The immunity is caused by years of mutation and their immunity is building stringer every day. Those pesticides include permethrin. Permethrin not only do not effectively kill bed bugs, but it is a known carcinogen.
Thank fully Nature's Innovation developed Bed Bug Patrol in 2004. It naturally kills bed bugs within seconds of spraying. Its primary active ingredients include food grade peppermint and clove oil. Ironically these ingredients are used in common Christmas foods.
Bed bugs can not become immune to Bed Bug Patrol. Why? Because the active ingredients are a physical action that cause the bed bug's nervous system to shut down and kills the bed bug from the inside out. No immunity can be attained by using Bed Bug Patrol. It is common after spraying bed bugs with Bed Bug Patrol for the bed bug to suffer obvious nerve damage just before dying.
Remove all the sheets and wash in 120 degree water. Remove any bed covers exposing the mattress. Vacuum the mattress and box spring completely. Encase the mattress and box spring in bed bug proof mattress covers. Then tear apart the bed and vacuum it thoroughly removing it from the wall. Vacuum the carpet including ALL cracks and crevices.
Search alarm clocks, computers, pictures frames, you name it for the bed bugs. They are sneaky and hide most of the time in the dark. They move quickly so don't take any chances. They can travel between apartments via electrical receptacles, people's clothing, luggage, etc.
Spray and dust all cracks, crevices and bedding prior to installing the mattress covers. Install Bed Bug patrol bed bug traps on each bed post making sure to not allow any covers to touch the floor before bed time.
All of this should help lead to a restful night of peaceful sleep.

Fresh tuna is a versatile and delicious fish, but you may want the convenience of preserving it to use over the course of a couple of weeks. Preserving tuna is an ancient art, perfected by the Italians thousands of years ago. Even today, the finest canned tuna comes from Italy and Spain. What separates these cans of tuna from most of the varieties on the grocery store shelf is that they are preserved in olive oil instead of water.
Commercial canners often steam their albacore—which is the primary species used in canned tuna—but you will get a far more luxurious result if you slowly poach the fish in olive oil, a process that the French call confit.
This is an easy process as you will only need a deep pan, thermometer, cheesecloth, olive oil, and herbs. Your confit tuna will then keep in the refrigerator.
To start, you need high-quality albacore or yellowfin tuna. You can follow this method with other kinds of tuna, too, as well as mako shark, halibut, swordfish, or sturgeon. Cut the fish into large chunks about 1 inch thick, and salt them well.
Now you need to get your oil ready. Basically, you want to infuse it with flavor and cook it long enough to make the oil stable. To 3 cups of olive oil add 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 cloves garlic, crushed, 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, zest of one lemon (sliced into strips), and 1 whole clove.
In a saucepan, heat the oil mixture slowly over medium heat until you begin to see the herbs just start to simmer. The temperature should be about 160 F. Hold this temperature for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and cover the pot, leaving the oil to cool.
Once the oil has cooled (which can take about 30 minutes), turn the heat back on to medium and heat the oil to 150 F. Slip in the fish and arrange the pieces in one layer. The fish must be completely covered in oil.
Turn off the heat and cover the pot again. Let the fish steep in the oil for another 30 to 45 minutes.
After the fish has steeped in the hot oil, use a slotted spoon to remove it to a clean plastic or glass container.
Let the oil cool to room temperature, then strain it through a piece of cheesecloth and pour it over the fish. Make sure you do not include any liquid that the fish gave off during cooking; you want only the oil to cover the fish (use more clean oil if there is not enough).
Covered this way, the fish will last in the refrigerator for two weeks. If you want it to last longer, you must pressure-can it in a steam canner. Follow your canner's instructions.
You can now use your homemade "canned" tuna the way you would if you bought it at the supermarket (but your recipes will taste so much better). Keep it au naturel and make a salad Nicoise, complete with potatoes, green beans, anchovies, olives, and your favorite vinaigrette. Or see how much more flavorful your tuna salad will be. This is also the perfect time to try a pasta dish with tuna fish.

← Oct. 26: Don't worry about something you have no control over, it will only rob your peace.
My Hope in sharing this quotation is a reminder to make an effort to be kind to one another. A conscious effort.
When the kids were school age, a good morning meant I was up and enjoying a hot cup of coffee while reviewing everyone's schedules for the day. Lunches were packed before I woke the kids. However on occasion, I unconsciously shut off my alarm, and when I did wake, my brain flipped to panic mode. Hollering to wake the kids, while running around back tracking all the time trying to un-fog. Two different shoes on, toothpaste on my blouse…where are my keys…..It was a recipe for bad humour for the whole day if I allowed it.
When I was working as a VON, (visiting nurse) I didn't always wake up on the right side of the bed with a glass "half full" of OJ. But I tried to remember that I may be the first or only person a client may see that day. Who wants to see a sour puss grouchy nurse at the door and hear all her gripes, let alone have her change your precarious sensitive dressing? Some days I had to force a smile and it changed how I felt inside.
Try it. Put on a smile. I never regret it and neither will anyone else.

Concept / Feasibility Study / CBA | Spea Engineering S.p.A.
The core business of SPEA Engineering S.p.A. is managing motorway and airport construction projects and carrying out environmental studies.
In respect of these activities, our "tool" to ensure the best environmental and social integration of the new infrastructure with the values and expectations of the local communities is to develop and compare different solutions and then choose the most suited.
This need is part and parcel of the mission of motorway and airport concession companies, with which SPEA Engineering S.p.A. collaborates in close partnership, right from its establishment, also sharing their objectives and aims.
Our project development processes are constantly based on the wealth of experience accumulated over the years, from feasibility studies to site supervision, monitoring and maintenance.
Every road or airport project developed by SPEA Engineering generally features a traffic study and cost-benefit analysis, like those developed for the new flight infrastructure at Fiumicino airport.
In the motorway sector, we have often developed ad hoc studies on toll systems, to assess user approval ratings.
Our most recent examples are the A12 ''Livorno-Civitavecchia'' Motorway, part of the so-called '"Tyrrhenian Corridor, in the Centre-South of Italy, for which we have developed a free-flow toll system, calibrated on local users, and the 'EcoMuv'' project in France, consisting in the development and implementation of a new toll system for heavy goods vehicles, a the "eco-tax".
SPEA Engineering has also consolidated experience in mountain infrastructure projects, such as the upgrading of the Appennine crossing of the "A1 Milan-Naples'' Motorway, between Bologna and Florence, known as the "Variante di Valico".

Active networks are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. This approach is motivated by both lead user applications, which perform user-driven computation at nodes within the network today, and the emergence of mobile code technologies that make dynamic network service innovation attainable. In this paper, we discuss two approaches to the realization of active networks and provide a snapshot of the current research issues and activities. Introduction – What Are Active Networks? In an active network, the routers or switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. For example, a user of an active network could send a "trace " program to each router and arrange for the program to be executed when their packets are processed.

Q: Button: Binding different DelegateCommands depending on the ClickMode value (Press / Release) Often found answers here, but now it`s my first time ;)
We use the MVVM pattern in conjunction with DelegateCommands. So normally I bind a command to the button like this:
<Button Command="{Binding SetXYZActivatedCommand}" />

I need to execute different commands when the button is pressed and when the button is released again. My idea was the following:
<Button Grid.Row="3" x:Name="TestButtonObj" Content="asdlknm">
   <Button.Template>
       <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
           <Border x:Name="border" CornerRadius="80" Background="LightBlue">
              <ContentPresenter Name="content" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
           </Border>
           <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
              <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
                 <Setter TargetName="border" Property="Background" Value="Aqua" />
                 <Setter TargetName="content" Property="Content" Value="Pressed" />
              </Trigger>
              <Trigger Property="ClickMode" Value="Press">
                 <Setter TargetName="TestButtonObj" Property="Command" Value="{Binding SetPttDeactivatedCommand}" />
              </Trigger>
              <Trigger Property="ClickMode" Value="Release">
                 <Setter Property="Button.Command" Value="{Binding SetPttActivatedCommand}" />
              </Trigger>
           </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
       </ControlTemplate>
   </Button.Template>
</Button>

The problem is that TestButtonObj is unknown. Ok I have accepted, that I cannot access the parent object. Without TargetName="TestButtonObj" it compiles, but the command is not executed. Mhhhh...
Ok I tried the following, but it cannot work...   CommandBinding is   not a dependency property (hopefully you get me out of this labyrinth)
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="CommandBindings">
<Button.CommandBindings>
    <CommandBinding Command="{Binding SetPttActivatedCommand}" />
</Button.CommandBindings>

At this point I stuck. I don`t know if the way was completly wrong. I read the whole day docs about commands and binding, but I don't get the clue. I hope, someone can show me the way.
I posted also here today morning:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/cc68b10c-4e1c-4344-9f00-710185d4b1b0
If I get an answer, I will post it here too.
Thank you so much (in advance),
Totti

A: You should use the AttachedCommandBehavior library. It will allow you to bind multiple commands to the same control:
<Button Grid.Row="3" x:Name="TestButtonObj" Content="asdlknm">
  <local:CommandBehaviorCollection.Behaviors>
    <local:BehaviorBinding Event="MouseLeftButtonDown" Action="{Binding SetPttDeactivatedCommand}" />
    <local:BehaviorBinding Event="MouseLeftButtonUp" Command="{Binding SetPttActivatedCommand}" />
    ...
  </local:CommandBehaviorCollection.Behaviors>
</Button>

A: Did you try to set the name in the Binding?
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding ElementName=TestButtonObj, Path=SetPttDeactivatedCommand}" />

It was a treat to visit with artist and friend Teresa Baksa in her home art studio the other day and receive a private sneak peek of her painting 'Becoming A Star'.
Pssst, soon to be displayed to the public... read on.
Her painting "Becoming A Star"will be presented next month at the Cape Cod Museum of Dennis in a show entitled 'Seven', a curation design of Shawn Dalstrom's; in which forty nine woman artists have been divided up into groups of seven. Each group has picked a topic which relates to the number seven... the under lying theme being 'All About Seven'. Terry's group chose The Pleiade's Constellation, a Greek myth of the 'Seven Sisters' of the sky.
a life to a dove, a dove to a star.
When freed from time the stars are close.
Alone and together; no one is the same.
Just infinite beings in endless motion.
'Becoming A Star', the Seven Sisters colors in the celestal realm of heavens is blue light, a blue haze. Side of the canvas shown in photo depicting doves and brilliance of blue hued shining stars.
I look forward to attending this amazing event... which without a doubt, will be something of pure shining brilliance! See you there.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all.
"That is, unless they get really creative and then I find that enjoyable as long as it's funny," said McLaren, who was the 2017 World Baseball Softball Confederation Umpire of the Year and is the Sport B.C. official of the year finalist.
There was also the self-realization aspect for him, that where he wanted to go in terms of national teams and international competitions wasn't going to be as a player.
"I seemed to be getting pretty good at this officiating thing, or at least people think I'm pretty good, and they keep sending me places and I keep getting invited back," said McLaren.
In particular, it was his work at the WBSC Junior Women's Softball World Championship in Clearwater, Fla. last year which helped him garner the Umpire of the Year award.
He still remembers the call from South Africa, where the WBSC conference was, letting him know he had won the prestigious honour.
"Of course I did what every other person does when their phone rings and it says Botswana. You let it go to voicemail because I don't know anybody there," said McLaren with a laugh.
Overall he believes abuse of officials at most levels, especially by players and coaches, has improved but still has a huge impact on young people who are new to the job and have not yet developed the thicker skin.


The Unshaven Rant-Cast: Episode 78.1!
Hello and how do you do? Have we met? I'm the Unshaven Rant-Cast. I am glad to make your acquaintance. In case we haven't been formally introduced, allow me to tell you a bit about myself. Today I'm 78 episodes old. In terms of podcasts, that makes me almost a teenager! Today I'll be doing as I normally do on Mondays–going over the news of the week past and then dabbling in some comic book reviews! Let me tantalize you. In the news, I tell you about the tragic loss of a well known artist and a well known actor. I also release some striking sales figures for the terrible Blue Water comic company! Then? I tell you all about the good (FF, Thor, Batman, Inc.) and the bad (ANOTHER Avengers book, and Superboy!).
I hope you like what I have to say. I do try my darndest to be entertaining. And in case I do a bad job? Blame Marc Alan Fishman, Kyle Gnepper, and Matt Wright. Those worthless peons wouldn't know how to have a good conversation if it meant their lives!

Q: Box type pattern in java I want to create a pattern something look likes a box.
I tried every reflection and mirror but unable to achieve the exact loop.
It's the box look like loop for String s="ROHIT";

A: This does what you asked for (the idea is to check on wich inside level you are):
public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "ROHIT";
    int size = s.length() * 2;
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
            if ((j > i && size - j > i) || (size - j > size - i && j >= size - i)) {
                print(s, i);
            } else {
                print(s, j);
            }
        }
        System.out.println("");
    }
}

private static void print(String s, int i) {
    if (i < s.length()) {
        System.out.print(s.charAt(i));
    } else {
        System.out.print(s.charAt(s.length() - i % s.length() - 1));
    }
}

Actually, this is more intuitive:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "ROHIT";
    int size = s.length() * 2;
    int max = s.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
            int level = Math.min(normalize(i, max), normalize(j, max));
            System.out.print(s.charAt(level));
        }
        System.out.println("");
    }
}

private static int normalize(int i, int max) {
    return (i >= max) ? 2 * max - i - 1: i;
}

A: int n = 2 * word.length();
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
    int iWord = i < word.length()? i : 2 * word.length() - 1 - i;
    for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
        int jWord = j < word.length()? j : 2 * word.length() - 1 - j;
        int diagonal = Math.min(iWord, jWord);
        System.out.print(word.charAt(diagonal));
    }
    System.out.println();
}

A: This is the algortithm /pseuodo code
for(each row)
{
 if(firstrow) print total row;

else if(lastrow) print total row;
else {
  for (each column)
{
 if(firstcol) print col;
 if(lastcol) print col;
}
}

Griffith Business School
Korean encounter cements Asian ambition
Published January 29, 2016 May 8, 2017 AuthorStephen O'Grady
Finance student Tobias Forster-Wright has seized the chance to immerse himself in Korean culture.
Where once he dreamt of a career in Asia, Tobias Forster-Wright now sees it as part of life after university.
The 25-year-old, who has travelled to the Republic of Korea as part of Griffith University's Global Mobility Business Internship Program, is confident the international experience will set him up well for the job market after he graduates from Griffith Business School mid-2016.
The Brisbane commerce student (majoring in finance) is filling his summer semester with a series of classes at Yonsei University in Seoul, followed by an internship with Samjong KPMG.
"My time here has given me the industry, language and cultural experience to cement my personal aspirations to develop an international career in Asia," he said.
"This opportunity encouraged me to believe that I now have a competitive chance to make a success living and working abroad. I believe that the experience helped me to generate some of the job-ready attributes that industry employers are searching for in graduate applicants today."
FIND OUT MORE: Global Mobility Business Internships
Tobias was among 24 Griffith University students to gain international experience during the summer as part of the Global Mobility Business Internship Program, with Bali, Beijing and Essen in Germany the other destinations.
"The program provided me with world-class industry work experience in one of the largest and most respected financial institutions in an amazingly vibrant and exotic country."
"I have also gained access to international networking opportunities with industry professionals and academic staff from Korea's most prestigious tertiary institution. I could not have asked for a more beneficial opportunity upon which to begin building my career."
Tobias also took advantage of the chance to immerse himself in Korean life, undeterred by chilling temperatures or an enormous public transport system.
"Seoul is an amazingly efficient and technologically advanced city, boasting a strong and proud history and culture. The city is teeming with vibrant architecture, colour and light surrounding the millions of people getting about their daily lives.
"It would seem that life in Seoul is not for the faint of heart. The fusion of an intense sub-zero winter climate, the longest average working week of any nation on earth and a drinking culture to rival any other, made my time in Seoul a challenging and immersive cultural experience."
Griffith University offers a range of exciting opportunities for students to undertake an international experience as a part of their degree.
Options include a full semester or year at an overseas partner university, volunteering, global internships, short courses, study tours, placements and research practicums. More than 1200 Griffith students travelled to overseas locations last year.
"The University places a very strong emphasis on the transformational outcomes of a Griffith degree, made possible through experiences such as those offered overseas, and student feedback supports the value of these," Shelly Maller, manager, Global Mobility, Griffith International, said.
More than $800,000 in funding has been awarded to the Global Mobility Business Internship Program by the Australian Government to support 147 Australian undergraduate students taking part in the 2016-18 New Colombo Plan Mobility Program in the Indo-Pacific region.

Forget migrating, these Ducks are staying put.
Anaheim has approved a deal that will keep the Ducks in the local Honda Center through at least 2048.
The City Council on Tuesday approved a deal that extends the current Ducks agreement, which ends in 2023, by 25 years. The deal also permits up to five additional five-year extensions.
The team also promises to continue featuring Anaheim in its name.
The Ducks are owned by Anaheim Arena Management, which operates the city-owned stadium.
The agreement sells the company 16 acres of nearby land to develop for $10 million as long as parking is still provided. The city also gets a larger cut of arena revenues.
