First and foremost, the tradition of indulging oneself in the joys of beer has to be my favourite, not just of Oktoberfest, but favourite tradition period.
Oompa music, laderhosen etc. just round out the mix.
The beer, the people….and the beer!
My favorite part is hanging out having fun with friends while enjoying good beer.
Eating sausages and drinking beer!
Drinking beer with friends, of course!
oops! I thought this was for the Vancouver Steam Whistle party at the Alpen Club. Please disregard my entry, thanks.
The attire, the camaraderie, the steins and most importantly, the contents of the stein. PROST!
Drinking beer out of a giant stein.
Soft pretzels and mustard! (And beer of course!) Prost!
Getting together with my Dad and having some great beers/German themed BBQ! Good times.
Well….my favourite Oktoberfest tradition is the Steam Whistle Oktoberfest party (of course)!
Dusting off the lederhosen once again to enjoy a beer or two with good friends!
It's all about enjoying the beer at a great venue.
I love Oktoberfest! I have been going to Oktoberfest events for more than a decade, including the real Oktoberfest in Munich in 2008! I would say my favourite part is the general happiness that surrounds the event….between the festive music, 1L mass steins of beer, and having strangers sit together and meet new people, it makes for an event where everybody smiles and can't help but have a good time.
The toasts are my most favorite tradition. There is nothing like hearing someone rambling along and everyone cheering afterwards no matter what they are babbling about.


So what do we do when this happens? When faced with food your child can't eat, but you have no "safe" alternatives to offer him? I believe you CANNOT let your child see your anxiousness. Stay calm and pretend it's not a big deal (even though it is, to the both of you). You do not want your child to become anxious over food situations.
Here's what recently happened to us.
We signed up to walk in a 5K. It was fundraiser for a community organization that helps families with children who have serious medical conditions. Of course we have Patrick's cute little backpack that we take everywhere, which holds his 4 Epi Pens, inhaler, Benadryl, antibiotic ointment and safe snack bar (although that's not a "fun" treat, in any way).
I didn't bring anything else to eat. Hey, we were walking a 5K! The eating would take place at home, after the event.
Maybe it's my fault, and I should have known there would be food trucks and treats there for after the race. I've only done one 5K before this one, and Patrick wasn't with me that time. Looking back, there probably were food trucks and other food vendors there. But this time I wasn't thinking about food; I was thinking about this cool experience we would be having together, being physical for a good cause.
So after we walk the 5K, we're feeling great, and he gets his medal. We're standing by the stage. Great morning together. I'm beaming. And I look down and see him…staring at all the kids eating shaved ice. He then looks up at me. "Mom, can I have that?" The dreaded question. Every food allergy parent reading this knows how that question feels.
I ask the girl working the truck, who is very receptive to my questions and has a binder with info for me to look at. This is a very unusual experience for a food allergy parent! Both for the vendor to be receptive to our questions, and for them to have allergen information on hand.
And guess what? We get totally lucky. All of the pertinent information is in the binder, and (drumroll, please…)…the shaved ice is SAFE!
I let him get the biggest shaved ice there is. The smile on his cute little face is priceless. We were lucky this day. I take a deep breath and I am grateful we had a positive outcome.
I like to say "WE," and never say to him "YOU can't have it." I feel like I'm reminding him that he's not alone in this. I would have then offered him a choice of some other treat that we'd go and get right after leaving this venue.
You get used to making up for all of the things your food allergy kid misses out on. And you hope that more often than not, you can make educated choices and minimize your child's risk of exposure. It's a part of our everyday lives.
p.s. You can follow my journey as a food allergy mom on Instagram @allergybear!

TAMMY ABRAHAM is set to be handed his England debut from the start against Germany.
Jordan Pickford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also in line to make their bow from the off against the world champions.
It is believed Gareth Southgate will line up with a 3-5-2 formation at Wembley on Thurday.
And the men picked to a do a job for his injury-ravaged squad have just 101 caps between them — 18 less than record scorer Wayne Rooney.
Everton keeper Pickford is thought to have been given the nod, with John Stones, Phil Jones and Harry McGuire making up a three-man backline in front of him.
Jones is the most experienced member of the side with just 23 caps to his name.
Tottenham duo Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose are set to start as full-backs.
Loftus-Cheek, Eric Dier and Jake Livermore should make up Southgate's midfield behind Abraham and Jamie Vardy.
Nigeria hoped to persuade Abraham to snub the Three Lions but the Swansea striker has been rewarded for his form by Southgate.
Although he can still switch allegiance until he plays a competitive game.
Abraham should debut alongside fellow Chelsea loan star Loftus-Cheek — who was also handed his first senior sqyad call-up.
Loftus-Cheek has played eight matches for Crystal Palace this season but is yet to taste victory.
Pickford is another man to struggle for success after a summer move.
The stopper made a £30million jump from relegated Sunderland but has found clean sheets just as hard to keep at Goodison Park.
Pickford has conceded 22 in 11 Prem games, but gets a start ahead of Joe Hart and Jack Butland.
Southgate's squad as been hit by withdrawals from Harry Kane, Harry Winks, Dele Alli, Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Jordan Henderson.
Jack Cork could also make his debut after the 28-year-old Burnley midfielder was called up as cover.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is the fifth uncapped player in Southgate's squad.


Editor's note: This article originally ran in 2012. We updated it on September 4, 2014 to reflect the latest information for the 2014 season. You'll find an all-new version for the 2015 season here.
Another NFL season kicks off Thursday night when the Seattle Seahawks begin the defense of their Super Bowl crown by hosting the Green Bay Packers. And as 30 other football teams start a season they're hoping ends at next year's Super Bowl in Arizona, the National Football League is taking another step in a journey of its own, toward a world of digital and online streaming that other major sports leagues in the U.S. have already embraced.
Football may be the most popular spectator sport in this country—it certainly has the TV ratings to back up that claim—but its approach to broadcasting its games remains firmly rooted in the 20th century. Baseball, basketball, hockey, and even soccer have all expanded their reach beyond traditional over-the-air and cable broadcasts to include mobile and online streaming of nearly every game. The NFL's moves in that direction have been more tentative, with enough restrictions and limitations still in place to keep your eyes glued to a TV screen on autumn Sundays.
Over the last few seasons, though, the NFL has slowly but surely moved toward more online streaming. The 2014 season will continue that trend, as the NFL rolls out a new app to mobile devices and set-top boxes that at least offers in-game highlights in lieu of the live streaming that other sports leagues provide as a matter of course.
As another NFL season gets underway, here's a guide to all your options—from TV to tablets and everything in between.
With the NFL, TV remains the king—and for good reason. The NFL has only 16 regular-season games per team (compared to baseball's 162), so each match-up is treated as a premium product. Plus, the relatively dependable schedule—Sunday afternoons from September through December—translates to easy appointment viewing for many people.
Because each NFL team belongs to either the National Football Conference or American Football Conference, it's easy for the league to divvy up the slate. Fox gets the NFC games, while CBS airs the AFC, with most contests starting on Sundays at either 1 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET. NBC gets the coveted Sunday Night Football telecast, which starts at 8:20 p.m. ET. Monday Night Football, which originated in 1970 on ABC, now lives on ESPN and kicks off at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Starting this season, Thursday night games move to CBS—at least until late October.
Football arrives on a broadcast network on Thursday night this year. In previous seasons, Thursday night games aired on the upstart NFL Network. Starting September 11 at 8:25 p.m. ET, CBS will show seven Thursday night games (with those broadcasts simulcast on the NFL Network.) The NFL Network resumes sole Thursday night coverage on October 30. Both CBS and the NFL Network will air games on Saturday, December 20 as well.
That's a lot of football available on a lot of channels. Unfortunately, to maximize its viewing audience and help fill stadium seats with the maximum number of butts, the NFL also enforces a complicated and arcane set of "blackout" rules and regional viewing restrictions. That means a) unless your team sells a certain percentage of seats for a game, that game will not air in your market, and b) your TV provider may at times broadcast seemingly random games in your area. Relief may be on the way, as the Federal Communications Commission is slated to vote on eliminating its sport blackout rule this fall, but that's unlikely to bring football fans any relief during the 2014 season.
To stay up on the broadcast TV offerings in your area, The506.com is an invaluable resource and it's one you should bookmark for quick access in the fall. In addition to a complete weekly rundown of games, the site offers color-coded maps that show exactly which game will air where and on what network.
Watch up to eight games at once on Sunday Ticket's Mix channel, offered via DirecTV.
A growing number of cable providers let their customers access the NFL's RedZone Channel, which spends about seven hours each Sunday showing nothing but continuous highlights (mainly touchdown plays, hence the name) from every game, even cutting in to show live coverage when warranted. Hosted by Scott Hanson and aired at a frenetic pace that includes no commercial breaks, this entire channel exists solely for this seven-hour window on Sundays. Not since 24 went off the air has a TV program so emulated the rush of pure, nonstop adrenaline. It's not for everyone, but it's strangely addictive for some of us.
The RedZone Channel along with NFL Network are available online, too, though you'll only be able to access the online version if you're a cable subscriber and if your cable company is among the listed providers. AT&T U-Verse, Cox, and Dish are among the supported providers for RedZone and NFL Network access (along with a host of regional cable operators); Comcast is not, a curious omission given that both the RedZone and NFL channels are available in Comcast's cable packages.
Still, the ultimate TV package—NFL Sunday Ticket—remains the exclusive property of satellite TV provider, DirecTV—and it's probably going to stay that way for some time. DirecTV is reportedly close to extending its Sunday Ticket deal with the NFL into the next decade.
With Sunday Ticket, DirecTV subscribers who are willing to pay up—an extra $240 on top of their regular subscription cost—can access every single Sunday afternoon out-of-market game, broadcast simultaneously along a gauntlet of channels. You can also watch up to eight games at once on what DirecTV calls the Mix Channel, and its Player Tracker lets you keep tabs on up to 20 players (a big perk for any fantasy football junkie).
For an extra $90, you can sign up for the $330 NFL Sunday Ticket Max, which throws in NFL RedZone Channel and Short Cuts, which condenses games into 30-minute chunks for easier viewing after they air.
For the first time this season, you'll be able to access NFL Sunday Ticket without a satellite TV subscription, but there are restrictions. You have to live in a place where DirecTV isn't available—an apartment, a college dorm, or in metropolitan New York, San Francisco, or Philadelphia. In other words, this isn't a package for cord cutters but for people who can't otherwise subscribe to DirecTV. If you do qualify, you can pay $200 for a regular season of out-of-market live NFL games on your laptop, desktop PC, and Android or iOS device. You can also pay $240 to watch on a compatible gaming console or $330 for access any device plus the RedZone channel.
Pay up for the NFL Sunday Ticket Max package, and you can watch games on your mobile device.
For most NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers, though, the way to watch games on the go will be to sign up for the Max package. You can stream games on iOS or Android devices, in addition to streaming live games on your computer. The app is free (well, after you've paid that $330 subscription to NFL Sunday Ticket Max, of course), and it's an incredible value-add for customers who can't get in front of a TV when their favorite team is playing.
You're not going to find any official live streaming outside of DirecTV's Max package. NFL.com does offer something called GameRewind, which provides archived broadcasts of 256 regular season games after they air. (You also get 10 playoff games plus access to the NFL's Super Bowl archives as well as games played between 2009 and 2013 if you really want to relive all those Jaguar-Texan tilts.) The service is available on computers and iOS and Android mobile devices. GameRewind also includes All-22 film, which had previously been only available to teams; it gives viewers wide-angled video that shows all 22 players on the field at once. That costs $70, while a scaled-down version (which opts for the regular game film as well as other viewing restrictions) costs only $40. You can also buy access to all of a specific team's regular season games for $30.
The official NFL Mobile app—free for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry—doesn't quite rise to the level of quality and content of MLB's At Bat app, but it's more than a glorified scoreboard. The NFL's mobile offering provides video highlights, customizable team alerts that are easily set up, audio broadcasts, and built-in fantasy football updates (provided that you play through NFL.com).
If you've got a More Everything plan with Verizon, you can watch live games on your mobile device at no additional cost.
You can stream games—but only if you're a Verizon customer. The Verizon version of the NFL Mobile app provides live access to any night game on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, along with access to local home-market games on smartphones. Live games are available to Verizon customers with a More Everything plan at no cost, though all that video streaming will surely devour your allotted monthly data faster than a hurry-up offense. More Everything customers who'd also like access to a streaming version of the RedZone Channel will have to pay another $2 each month. If you're a Verizon customer without a More Everything plan, you can still pay $5 a month for the premium live streaming features.
Fox Sports is dipping a toe into live-game streaming this season, though with plenty of caveats. It's going to stream 97 regular streaming games and four playoff games via Fox Sports Go, its website and app for iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, and Windows. The catches? Streaming will only be able to select cable subscribers, the featured games will only be the local ones available to your market, and streaming is only available on tablets or Fox Sports Go site. Verizon paid a pretty penny for the rights to stream games to smartphones, after all.
A new app from the NFL doesn't provide live streams of games, but it does promise a great deal of video content, including in-game highlights if you're willing to part with a couple of bucks. NFL Now—available for Android, iOS, Windows, and Kindle Fire as well as set-top boxes including Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and the Xbox One—promises a personalized video stream of news, features, and highlights. You'll have to create an NFL.com account, but you'll be able to customize the flow of news to highlight your favorite team. Pay $2 a month for a premium NFL Plus subscription, and you can make the ubiquitous ads disappear, have greater access to the NFL Films archive, and—most significantly—enjoy in-game highlights. It's not the kind of live streaming Sunday Ticket subscribers will experience, but it's more than the NFL has provided in the past.
NFL Now, seen here on an Apple TV, promises a personalized video stream of news and features. Pay $2 a month for a premium subscription, and you can get in-game highlights, too.
Outside of that, your (legal) streaming and mobile options are limited. The audience exists: Fox said it set a record for streaming a sporting event when it made last February's Super Bowl XLVIII available for online streaming, boosting the streaming audience by 4 percent over 2013's Big Game. If nothing else, it show's there's broad support for mobile and online options. And while the NFL appears to be listening, if only a little bit, for now the league seems perfectly content with the TV crown.

CLEMSON, S.C. – Senior defender Emily Byorth and senior forward Jenna Weston were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Byorth was named to the first team and Weston to the second team. It is the second career Academic All-America honor for Byorth, as she was a second-team honoree in 2015.
Byorth started 22 games on defense for the Tigers in 2016, helping the team hold its opponents to an impressive 0.71 goals against average for the season. The native of Dublin, Ohio also contributed to the Clemson offensive, adding three goals and two assists for eight points. Byorth has a 3.99 cumulative grade point average and will graduate from Clemson in May 2017 with a degree in Health Science.
Weston ranked in a tie for second on the team in scoring in 2016, with six goals and three assists for 15 points. Five of her six goals on the season were game-winners, a figure that ranks in a tie for 25th in the nation in that category. Weston, who is from Mooresville, N.C., has a perfect 4.00 cumulative GPA for her Clemson career, and is set to earn her undergraduate degree in Management in December 2016.
Byorth and Weston are two of just five women's soccer players from the Atlantic Coast Conference to earn Academic All-America honors, and Byorth was the only first-team honoree among all players in the conference. This is the third straight year that Clemson has had at least one player named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team.

Dan Savage, false teaching, homosexuality, politics, repentance, Scripture
Savagery, \ˈsa-vij-rē\, noun. An act of cruelty or violence.
Dan Savage made some comments recently which posted to YouTube. Certainly, as an American, he has the right to say whatever he pleases under the first amendment. He has issued what may be considered by many to be an apology subsequent to the public outcry against his posture to religion and adherents thereof.
Have the Scriptures been used to brow-beat others? Most certainly. Have seat belts been used to strangle people? Yes. The way an object is used doesn't reflect on its validity. No one would argue that because someone has been strangled by a seat belt that we should eliminate them from cars.
It seems to me that by Dan's reasoning, we would have to. If something can be abused or has been abused, that somehow invalidates the thing itself. Because slave-owners claimed Christianity and misused the Bible, that must make the Bible irrelevant or hateful. Because Christians use the Bible now to make claims on wealth and security of a nation that is NOT covenantally united to Christ, that makes the Bible imperialistic.
Ridiculous. If Dan Savage is genuinely interested in changing people's minds on the matter, then he is going about it in entirely the wrong way. Demonizing the "other side" is dishonest and it doesn't work. If he doubts this, he should look at the version of history he puts forth. He maintains that such backwardness in Scripture and the dogmatism of those who purport to be biblical Christians is problematic. But his dogmatism is no different from that which he rejects…with the exception of it being in line with his own opinion.
In an effort to reject the closed-mindedness of previous generations, Mr. Savage seems to have swung so far the other direction that he's become that which he seems to hate most vehemently: a fundamentalist of the most noxious variety.
But what does Scripture call Christians to do? One answer to this question is to give an answer for the hope that is within us–giving it with gentleness and reverence. Are we to speak firmly on issues which God clearly addresses? Yes. Are we to do so with gentleness and compassion? Yes. Have we always done that as a Church? No.
Christians, repent. Turn from this sort of rhetoric that we decry from people like Dan Savage. And pray for those that persecute. Savage doesn't hate the Church as much as the Apostle Paul did…or if he does, it doesn't manifest itself in killing people like Paul did. Pray for him, Christian. I know I will be.
As for anything I might say to Mr. Savage, if I had the opportunity, I would want to hear about his experience with Christians and examine myself for sin in my dealings with those who don't agree with me. Then, I'd want to tell him about the Gospel which has shaped my life, giving my answer in gentleness and reverence.
PS: I couldn't resist the title of this post.

Important Role for Cerebellum - Epilepsy Trigger Discovered
Ruhr-University Bochum
Synopsis : Hereditary diseases such as epilepsy or various coordination disorders may be caused by changes in nerve cells of the cerebellum.
Hereditary diseases such as epilepsy or various coordination disorders may be caused by changes in nerve cells of the cerebellum, which do not set in until after birth. This is reported by Bochum's neuroscientists in the Journal of Neuroscience.
The team of Prof. Dr. Stefan Herlitze, the Chair of the Department of Zoology and Neurobiology at RUB, showed that the diseases broke out in mice if, a week after birth, they eliminated a particular protein in the cerebellum which regulates the influx of ions into nerve cells. "It's the first time that we have gained an insight into the origin of these diseases" said Prof. Herlitze. "We can now start conducting research to develop new therapeutic approaches."
Defective calcium channels as a cause of disease
Various forms of epilepsy, coordination disturbances (ataxias) and migraines are caused by mutations in the so-called P/Q-type calcium channel that controls the influx of calcium ions into the nerve cells of the brain. Dr. Melanie Mark from Prof. Herlitze's team developed an animal model in which this calcium channel could be deactivated at any time in a brain region of choice. The researchers focused on specific cells in the cerebellum (Purkinje cells) that coordinate the movements of the body. "The calcium channel is actually present throughout the entire brain", explains Dr. Mark. "It is the first time that we have been able to show that the diseases can be triggered by dysfunctional signal processing originating in the cerebellum."
Through cooperation to a new therapy
With the aid of the new mouse model, the so-called Purky mouse, Prof. Herlitze's team is now investigating the molecular basis of the diseases caused by changes in the P/Q-type calcium channel, in order to develop new therapeutic approaches. In cooperation with Prof. Dr. Timmann-Braun of the University Clinic in Essen and Prof. Dr. Klockgether of the University Clinic in Bonn, Bochum's neuroscientists want to compare their studies in the mouse model with results from patient studies. "We especially hope to help children suffering from absence epilepsy, i.e. epilepsy associated with a disturbance of consciousness", says Prof. Herlitze.

Citizens for Midwifery has outlined our most basic core values relating to both maternity care and to the role of Citizens for Midwifery in efforts to improve maternity care.
Pregnancy and childbirth are normal, healthy processes.
Access to midwives and the Midwives Model of Care is vital to normal childbirth.
The Midwives Model of Care outlines a type of care and is not limited to the education or any specific category of provider.
Respect is at the core of the Midwives Model of Care. Every woman should be treated with respect in every phase of her care from pregnancy through postpartum. Respect includes, but is not limited to complete information about tests, treatments, and procedures, fully informed consent, preservation of privacy, and polite respectful communications by all involved with her care.
Pregnancy and childbirth effect the physical, mental, and psycho-social well-being of mothers, babies, and families, therefore maternity care should not only avoid harm, but also provide benefits to them.
Maternity care should be grounded in evidence, and care providers should be accountable to the mother and family for the mental and physical outcomes resulting from their actions or inactions.
Clinical decisions in maternity care should be focused on promoting the overall health and well-being of the mother-baby dyad; these decisions should never be influenced or determined by economic considerations or legal fears.
The use of practices, medications, and medical procedures should be based on the needs of each individual woman, her baby, and the circumstances of her pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum experiences with her full understanding and consent and based on the best evidence available. Routine protocols not based on research evidence should be avoided.
Maternity care is an important aspect of health care in the United States and must be included in all discussions of health care policy.
The quality and cost of maternity care and its outcomes directly or indirectly affect every US citizen.
Citizens have a right to be involved in maternity care policy, and CfM is a powerful voice for consumers.
CfM works to improve access to the Midwives Model of Care in all settings for women of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, races, religions, sexual orientations, abilities, and socioeconomic circumstances.
Coalition-building, communications, and networking with other organizations are essential for achieving our vision.
The education, credentialing, regulation, and licensing of midwives are of critical concern to consumers, because they determine whether or not childbearing women will be able to get the kind of midwifery care they want and need.

PayJunior bankers at Chinese banks are best placed.
The banks with the worst bonuses in Hong Kong?
President Xi's common prosperity drive could add an extra layer of complexity for Chinese banks as they look to retain staff in the face of poaching raids from international firms.
This will be the first bonus season for Chinese banks since President Xi announced the common prosperity drive aimed at narrowing the widening wealth gap.
A number of Chinese companies are embracing the drive with Tencent saying it will double the amount of money it is allocating for social responsibility programs to about $15bn.
The common prosperity drive is intended to clamp down on excessive wealth and improve the lot of China's lower and middle classes.
The drive has impacted deal volumes as a clampdown on China's private education and real-estate sectors put the brakes on M&A and capital markets activity in the second half of last year, which will already translate into lower bonuses at Chinese banks. The question is whether by embracing the initiative, Chinese banks instigate a clampdown on pay.
Chinese banks already pay less in fixed compensation than their western counterparts in Hong Kong but they have started to make up the difference with bigger cash bonuses.
One head-hunter said that CICC International is one of the banks that has both ramped up fixed pay for corporate financiers in recent years in an attempt to fight off poaching raids from western firms and that along with cash bonuses has enabled them to compete.
Meanwhile a former managing director at China Merchant Securities said that Macquarie poached an associate from the Chinese bank's equity capital markets team by tripling his pay. "We couldn't compete at that level, let alone higher up the ladder," the banker said.
A China's banks approach bonus season the big international banks have already set the bar high. Some mergers and acquisitions bankers at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong have seen total compensation rise by as much as 40%.
"I can't see Chinese banks matching some of these numbers, or what they paid their people last year, so the only way is down for average junior compensation at Chinese banks," the headhunter said.
Now with the overlay of the common prosperity drive it's not clear how this will play out. But one banker at a Chinese firm says it could impose a salary freeze on junior staff but give them a bigger bonus to compensate. "That way banks can adhere to common prosperity while also rewarding their best staff."
Another approach being considered is to cut the pay of senior staff and reward juniors more, thereby keeping a lid on compensation costs. "It's not clear pay will be targeted. They may decide that juniors should be rewarded at the expense of seniors as that would reduce inequality."

I found a possible typo: "A China's banks approach bonus season the big international banks have already set the bar high."
Could be: "A Chinese bank's approach bonus season, the big international banks have already set the bar high."
"As China's banks approach the big international banks have already set the bar high."
It is not clear. Just trying to help! https://media1.giphy.com/me...

Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes
Mexico ›
The postgraduate program represents the highest level of the Educational System in Mexico and its main objective is the training of professionals, specialists, scientists, humanists, technologists and professors-researchers capable of applying, innovating and transmitting current, academically relevant and socially relevant knowledge in different areas and disciplines; capable of influencing the development of Aguascalientes and Mexico.
The Autonomous University of Aguascalientes has been consolidated as the State's Highest House of Studies and is projected nationally and internationally for its academic quality, increased educational offer, research and technological development, as well as cultural dissemination and support work which has earned it its prestige and recognition, since it has 92% of its institutional programs and 100% of its interinstitutional postgraduates within the National Postgraduate Program of Quality (PNPC) of the National Council of Science and Technology in Mexico , the highest scientific and technological body in the country; while at the international level we continue to incorporate programs for the evaluation of various agencies. The Institution also has 14 medical specialty programs linked to the health sector, programs oriented to the profession, of which 78% are in level 1 of the evaluation carried out by the Interinstitutional Committees for the Evaluation of Higher Education ( CIEES); and 21% are accredited by the PNPC. Also, 36% of the postgraduate programs have been evaluated at an international level specifically by the University Association Iberoamericana de Postgraduates (AUIP) and the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP): the Doctorate in Administrative Sciences, Doctorate in Sciences Biological Sciences, Doctorate in Sociocultural Studies, Master's Degree in Educational Research, Master's Degree in Science: Plant Biotechnology or Toxicology, Master's in Science with Agronomic or Veterinary options, Master's in Computer Science and Computational Technologies, Master's in Tax and Master's in Administrative Sciences, achieving with it the positioning of our graduate programs in levels of quality of global competition. At present, two doctoral programs are being evaluated.
The UAA has an integrated offer of postgraduate educational programs that responds to clear needs of permanent education, with a high level of quality backed by the recognition of these by organizations and / or standards of excellence, and with elements of flexibility that allow attendance different training needs of the professionals involved in them. Likewise, this is a diversified offer that includes programs oriented to both the profession and research, as well as institutional and inter-institutional programs that meet criteria of social need and the capacity of the University to offer them.
The search for accreditation of graduate programs at both national and international level has been a clear reference for the efforts made at the University . On the one hand, because it has oriented the development of the postgraduate course towards the achievement of high quality standards; on the other, because in order to achieve this, a system of assurance and improvement of the quality of the postgraduate course has been designed and implemented, which has resulted in a high percentage of accredited programs and a high average terminal efficiency.
The hallmark of the postgraduate programs of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes is.
Relevant curricula.
Student-centered programs, where a tutor will be assigned a follow-up member of the Academic Council of the program and a tutor who will guide him in his training.
Subjects can be taken inside or outside the Institution, favoring the mobility of students and their competitive training in the global world.
The acquired training allows to develop Research, technological development, innovations and the solution to social problems.
The Postgraduate Programs of the UAA are supported by an academic plan of their own, qualified, experienced and sufficient to attend to the students ensuring the training as a researcher and professional of high level. Most of the professors are recognized by the National System of Researchers, competent in the generation, application and transmission of knowledge, with national and international recognition.

Q: JSF Facelets rendering problem I have a problem with my facelets:
I constricted a nav part that displays login information for about curren user and a logout button. Login works properly. But after a user logs out, the nav part of my page displays
Welcome, User (role)    [Logout_Button]

Whereas, what I want is the same thing that happens when you get to the login the first time:
Welcome, Guest

(Thank you Java drinker for those easy words :-))
Here you can see part of my template:

        <ui:include src="/metaMenu.xhtml" />

That's my nav part with login info (called metaMenu.xhtml):
    <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">

        <h:outputLabel value="Willkommen, "/>
        <h:outputLabel class="principal" value="#{metaNavData.principal}"/>
        <h:outputLabel value="#{metaNavData.role}"/>

        <h:form name="loginform" rendered="#{authorisation.authenticated}">
        <h:commandLink action="#{loginController.logout}" rendered="#{authorisation.authenticated}">
        Logout</h:commandLink>
        </h:form>

</ui:composition>

As BalusC and Java Drinker assumed it could be a java logic problem. I first need to say, that I use Apache Shiro for security issues. So here is the relevant Java code:
my loginController that contains the logout method:
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped //Mistake!!! That should be RequestScoped, see below
public class LoginController {

private Subject currentUser;  // import org.apache.shiro.subject.*;

public LoginController() {
    currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
}

public String logout() {
    if (currentUser.isAuthenticated()) {
    currentUser.logout();
    }
    return "welcome.xhtml";
}

And her you can see my backed bean 'authorisation', which is supposed to provide information that can be used to hide comonents like the loginbutton:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class Authorisation {

    private Subject currentUser;

    public Authorisation(){
        currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
    }

    public boolean getAuthenticated(){
        return currentUser.isAuthenticated();
    }

A: Ok, so from what I understand, your problem is that even after a user logs out, the nav part of your page displays
Welcome, User (role)    [Logout_Button]

Whereas, what you want is the same thing that happens when you get to the login the first time:
Welcome, Guest

The problem, I think, is in your log out functionality. For whatever reason, even after you logout, #{authorisation.authenticated} is returning true. Secondly, #{loginController.principal} still contains the value of the previously logged in user, and his/her role. Are any of these beans session scoped perhaps, or caching the value somewhere?
And BalusC is right (as usual) in that you are using the word rendered here incorrectly. The button is the only element that is conditionally rendered. From what I see, the Welcome, User(role), vs Welcome, Guest is based solely on the value in the loginController.
If you can post some of your java code for those beans and login/logout functionality, we can try to help further

A: Thank's to BalusC and Java Drinker for your help, I have found my stupid mistake:

Are any of these beans session scoped
  perhaps

That was the wrong part! I used SessionScoped for my controller instead of RequestScoped. So here is the right controller:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped  // Here was my mistake
public class LoginController {

private Subject currentUser;  // import org.apache.shiro.subject.*;

public LoginController() {
    currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
}

public String logout() {
    if (currentUser.isAuthenticated()) {
    currentUser.logout();
    }
    return "welcome.xhtml";
}

I have found a very nice link about distinctions of managedBeans and how they should be scoped :-) KLICk
Perhaps this thread can give some inspiration for java beginner as I am too ;-)

Come and experience the power of brain art. Experience how art is used to explain the brain and, vice versa, how artists are inspired by the beauty and fascination of the brain. Stimulate your senses, reflect, watch dance performances, and delight in colourful videos and images that bring the brain to life.
See the beauty of the brain in 2D, 3D and even 4D! ● Join in with dancers, as they enter and interact with brain cells! ● Help us wiring up a large 3D brain model ● Learn how artists can model the brain in many forms: ● See the making of an oil painting of the brain, from its very early beginnings ● View embroidered images of different brain cells ● Watch videos zoom through the connections of the brain and watch how they trumpet out! ● Guess which brain belongs to which animal!
Find out about the journey of the artist Jacob Smith when he created a large oil painting, featuring the earliest forms of brain cells through to those that we see at the end of life. See the process come together. The work will be on display in the Great Hall.
Nerve cells form cable-like processes called axons which wire our nervous system and form the paths through which our thoughts flow. Using woollen threads as axons we wired up a 2m long 3D brain structure assembled by Paul Smith and placed on the landing in front of the Great Hall during the Brain Box event. We asked visitors to join in by adding their personal connections to that brain, choosing their own colour to connect across as ever they liked! We wondered whether people would follow existing paths or choose their individual directions? Whether patterns would develop, connections cluster or distribute evenly across the sculpture? The wiring process was documented by Florin Nica and Keith Myers as part of the Connected Explorers project which will be on display in the British Pavilion at the Olympic Games in Rio [LINK1][LINK2].
What a success the brain wiring activity was! Hundreds and hundreds shared in! The wiring turned out to be refreshingly chaotic, clearly more dense in the upper brain regions and concentrated on the sculpture's surface. The time-lapse documentation is now available (see below), and the sculpture is now on permanent exhibition in The University of Manchester's AV Hill neuroscience building (see the FBMH news blog).
Emma Hodgson-Tole and the MND dance group will be staging an interactive performance. See them enter a motor neuron and make it become active. Join in as their performance explores the functions of these vital brain cells in health and motor neuron disease. Watch performances at 11.30, 2.30 and 4.30 in the Great Hall and find more detail here.
Experience the embroidery of the Coventry artist Stephanie Bowen which explores the shape and forms of different brain cells. For Brain Box, she has created images of brain cells from the cerebellum and 'glue' cells (glial support cells). The art work can be seen in the Banqueting Hall.
Luca Ticini will talk you through the brain science of creating and appreciating beauty in pictures. Why are some people more creative than others? What happens in your head when you see pictures that you like? Come and listen to Luca in Committee Room 3 at 3 pm.
The brainy float in preparation.
Inspired by this year's theme of Eureka, Venture Arts (visual arts charity working alongside learning disabled artists) [LINK] and the Leonard Cheshire CanDo (volunteering for disabled people) [LINK] have joined forces with Walk The Plank artists Fi Smith and Jo Foley to create a brain-themed float. In preparation, a young people's group discussed the theme, including ideas of the brain, neurons, Alan Turing's Enigma machine, and science fiction films including Jonny Pneumonic or Men In Black! From this, the group decided to dress up as "Men In Black" with sci-fi visors that give the impression of viewing straight onto the person's brain, to accompany a float with a giant brain. This brain is ~2.5 metres tall made of 5 brain-shaped slices, with holes cut out that are filled with colourful cellophane. The brain structure sits on a base covered with letter keys inspired by the Enigma machine, and it has neurons, tubing and wires attached, some held and moved by members of the group whilst walking in the parade. The float joins The Brain Box after the parade, so watch out for their brain sculpture in front of the Town Hall and spot Men in Black exploring the exhibition!
Venture Arts joining the Brain Box during the event. Click to enlarge.
One of the leading neuroscientist-artists Greg Dunn from Philadelphia will be displaying images of his work on screen. His work brings forth the fascinating microscopic images of brain cells with striking colours. This art work will be on display in Committee Room 3 accompanied by videos shown inbetween talks and presentations.
Discovery zone 8: Spooky brain trumpets!
See ghostly, spooky brain images by the neuroscientists Dan Cox and Nils Muhlert which will be on display in the Banqueting Room. Come and watch the brain 'trumpet' created by Alex Leemans from detailed images of brain connections. They are on display in Committee Room 3 inbetween talks and presentations.
Helen Marie-Newman is the artist in residence at the Whitworth Art Gallery. She made some sculptures for you to consider the sense of touch. Feel your way round the lumpy, bumpy objects before going on to learn how your brain processes this information. Come and experience Helen's objects in the Banquet Hall and learn more about her objects here.
Come and view the personal and collective stories of life before and after a stroke as told through the survivors' artistic interpretations – through creative writing, visual arts and photography. The exhibits provide a personal insight into a complex and often devastating condition, but also show that there is potential for an enriching and positive life after stroke. Come and see our exhibition in the hall way in front of the Reception and Banqueting Halls.
The NW Stroke Community Choir is based in Greater Manchester and is made up of stroke survivors and family members, Stroke Association Staff and volunteers and health professionals and students working in the field of stroke. They just love to sing together. Come and enjoy their performance at 5.30 pm in the Great Hall.
Lucy Burke has compiled quotations about the brain stretching back over 400 years. Read how scientists describe their quest to figure out the workings of the human brain. See how these quotes come to life when paired with historical and modern brain images. Look out for text from the literature about the brain scattered throughout the Town Hall.
