Louisville adds ex-Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch to program
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville coach Scott Satterfield has named former Cardinals standout and Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch as the program's director of player development.
Branch played 12 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. He caught 21 passes in two Super Bowl victories with the Patriots, including 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles to tie a game record and earn MVP honors in Super Bowl XXXIX.
Branch was also a two-time All-Conference USA first team selection at Louisville from 2000-01. His No. 9 is among the program's honored jerseys.
Satterfield welcomed Branch back to his alma mater in a release on Thursday and called him a recognizable name whom players can look up to. He added, "To have one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play at Louisville and a former Super Bowl Most Valuable Player join our staff, is a great addition to our football program."

Halloween Comes to an End With CPA After Party
November 2, 2016 5:35 pm by ADELINE TAO
Photo by Melissa Scalia
The College Park Apartments' Residence Hall Council presented its first annual Halloween After Party on Tuesday, with more than 100 students from all over campus meeting at the basketball courts outside the Lodge to have Halloween fun.
"We are the CPA Residence Hall Council, and we are really excited to be hosting our first annual After Halloween Party," Melissa Scalia, senior and RA Student Staff Advisor of the CPA RHC, said. "This event is so much fun and I love the CPA RHC events."
The night had a perfectly chilly breeze and many students ventured out of their dorms to attend the festivities, unhindered by the biting cold weather that the school has been experiencing recently. The live music was joyful and people were laughing, dancing and cheering each other on. If students were not simply mingling, they were at the many stations that were around the courts.
"We have mummy wrapping, pumpkin bowling, face painting, tattoos and a costume contest," Scalia said. "The crowd is great – they're not just people from the CPAs, but also from all over campus."
Princess Claveria, sophomore, had a Batman hoodie on as her costume.
"This event was really cool and entertaining," she said. "I love supporting my Residence Hall in their programs, and I always have a good time watching everyone else have so much fun as well."
Students could get their faces painted to look like cats, dogs or any other design they requested. At the pumpkin bowling station, students rolled a mini pumpkin to knock over rolls of paper towels. The mummy wrapping station seemed to be the most popular. At one point during the night, a student in a big dinosaur costume came along and everyone helped to wrap the costume in toilet paper.
"The dancing dinosaur was off the chain, and I was craving a Kit Kat," sophomore Matthew Van't Slot said. "And there was one left and I got it and my craving was satisfied. And the fog machine really added to that ghouly Halloween-y vibe. It was spooktastic!"
The courts were decorated with ghosts, silver tinsel and cobwebs. Buckets of candy were placed everywhere for students to enjoy the last bit of Halloween sweetness. In addition to the confections, the CPA and RHC were giving away prizes that included gift cards to Moe's, Chipotle, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks. Another delicious highlight was the food that the CPA RHC provided. There were trays of chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and several pies of pizza.
Justina Celentano, freshman, said, "It was a great way to close the Halloween festivities and have fun with friends." Then she added, with a laugh, "And the food was really good!"
Freshman Tara O'Dwyer was already looking forward to next year.
"I had lots of fun eating great food, playing fun games and getting my face painted with friends," she said. "I can't wait for next year's Halloween."

After a fair amount of success converting motorcyclists from metal grips into more rider friendly rubber grips, Biltwell has released their tried and true grips in a more durable & UV resistant compound. Biltwell's logged thousands of miles testing the upgraded Thermoplastic Vulcanizate compound and has been pleased with the results. TPV has proven to be heartier in all conditions yet retains the soft and supple nature expected from Biltwell grips.

This exhibition includes a selection of 40 limited edition reproductions of original watercolor drawings from the Highgrove Florilegium. In the year 2000, a project was begun to paint plants and trees growing in the Highgrove Garden, near Tetbury, in the United Kingdom. Highgrove is a private residence of Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.
The art of depicting plants, as a means of identifying species for medicinal purposes, goes back some 2000 years and continues to this day as the preferred medium to illustrate new species. While the height of botanical art was from the 1740's to the 1840's and coincides with the great voyages of discovery, there is today what has been described as a modern renaissance of botanical painting. More than 70 artists, from the United Kingdom and abroad, participated in the Highgrove Florilegium creating 124 paintings in total.

The FIFA Women's World Cup in France this year is being hailed as a watershed moment for women's football in England.
Domestically, the women's game has been growing steadily over the past few years, aided by the Football Association's (FA) energetic attempts to push it into the mainstream.
Last September saw the relaunch of the Women's Super League (WSL), with all eleven teams in the top tier of women's football now offering their players full-time, professional contracts, seeing the best earning £35,000 ($45,000/€40,000) a year. The second tier also underwent a rebrand and is now known as the FA Women's Championship.
Teams were only accepted into the Championship if they met criteria that a ensured a certain level of professionalism, including the provision of a minimum of eight hours weekly contact time for their semi-professional players.
These changes aimed to make women's football a plausible career pathway for girls across the country and the subsequent money invested into the game has seen coverage and attendance figures increase.
Women's football is yet to fully hit the public mainstream in England, however, with hopes that this summer's World Cup may act as the final boost. England are currently fourth in the FIFA World Rankings and are, if not outright favourites for the tournament, likely to make the quarter-finals at least.
A long run in the competition could recreate the fervent interest that accompanied the men's journey to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia last July and propel women's football into the consciousness of every sports fan in the country.
A recent incident in the Championship has highlighted the current fragility of the women's game, suggesting that the FA are pushing women's football onto the main stage without ensuring that some of the most basic provisions for players are covered.
Last Sunday, Charlton Athletic kicked off against Manchester United in front of a home crowd at The Oakwood but the game was suspended in the eleventh minute after Charlton defender Charlotte Kerr was seriously injured.
Kerr was treated with oxygen provided by the Manchester United medical team as Charlton did not have any on site, something which contravened FA requirements for WSL and Championship teams. Following treatment, the referee abandoned the game as there was not enough oxygen left to carry on safely.
Kerr was released from hospital the next day with badly bruised ribs and sternum but if the Manchester United medical team did not have its own oxygen the incident could have been a lot worse.
It has since emerged that Charlton have not had oxygen on site since the season started in September, meaning nine games have been hosted at The Oakwood without the required medical equipment. Charlton will be reprimanded for this with a £500 ($644/€570) fine, as per the FA's rules regarding the provision of medical assistance, but the FA must take some degree of responsibility for the incident.
It is worrying that Charlton's infringement of the rules had only become clear after a player was seriously injured. Why were checks not carried out by the FA at the beginning of the season to ensure that all WSL and Championship teams were complying with their rules?
There have been numerous other occasions recently which suggest the FA are failing to ensure that basic requirements are being offered to protect female players, despite their claim that the sport is becoming more professional.
Kerr's ambulance took 30 minutes to arrive at The Oakwood, similar to the wait for Manchester City's Pauline Bremer, who broke her leg in a match against Everton in October 2017.
Manchester City complained to the FA at the time, but it was after only the incident at Charlton last week that the organisation said they would consider making ambulances compulsory at women's matches.
The FA's decision in 2007 to make ambulances a necessity in the men's game has been credited with saving the life of former Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba after he collapsed in an FA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur. The same level of care for players must now be implemented in women's football.
Female players can also encounter issues once they are injured. It is not compulsory for WSL and Championship teams to provide private medical insurance for their players, meaning that they may have to pay for treatment themselves or face a lengthy wait with the National Health Service (NHS), Britain's free healthcare system.
Three players from London Bees, a Championship side, have had to resort to creating a Crowdfunding page to raise £15,000 ($19,000/€17,000) for their anterior cruciate ligament constructive surgeries. With the club unable to pay for the required medical care, the players are currently on an NHS waiting list, affecting both their personal and professional lives.
Another issue is the standard of officiating in the women's game, which is often called into question.
England manager Phil Neville said he was concerned at the standard of refereeing following his team's controversial draw with Australia in October, when England were denied two penalties and had a goal wrongly disallowed.
It goes without saying that poor refereeing is a direct risk to the safety of players. This was emphasised in October when Chelsea's Drew Spence only received a yellow card for a heavy tackle on Arsenal's Kim Little, breaking her leg and putting her out of action for ten weeks.
England and Lyon right-back Lucy Bronze responded to this incident by criticising the standard of officiating in women's football.
"Real shame for Kim, Arsenal and the league. Fans come to watch players like her play. But REPEATEDLY let down by the standard of officiating (Not all officiating, may I add). But there's a real underlying problem somewhere. My yearly rant," she tweeted.
Aside from the obvious risk to players' safety, these incidents damage the credibility of the women's game.
Funding has gone into creating a new professional and semi-professional league, but has seemingly not stretched far enough to ensure that this professionalism reaches all aspects of the game.
It is hard for the FA to claim that women's football is ready for the big stage when a second-tier match is called off due to a lack of adequate medical supplies, players are forced to create Crowdfunding pages to pay for surgery, and referees do not properly discipline leg-breaking tackles.
There are fundamental discrepancies between the level the FA are pitching women's football at and important aspects of the game such as medical care and officiating.
If the FA really wants women's football to achieve the credibility needed to reach the mainstream, it must fix the numerous underlying issues currently ongoing in the game, rather than rely on World Cup success.

Q: EJB remote invoke lookup Weblogic - Liferay I'm new with EJB and Im trying to consume a remote EJB from Liferay. EJB is deployed on WebLogic, Im using t3 client (wlthint3client.jar).
Part of the code of EJB is:
Stateless(name = "myDataEJB", mappedName = "ejb/MyDataEJB",
description = "Get important Data")
@Remote({
    MyDataEJB.class,
    SecurityContext.class
})
@RolesAllowed({
    "MyRole"
})

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)
public class MyDataEJBEJBImpl extends TheBaseSpringSecurityEJB implements MyDataEJBEJB {
//some stuff

And my code from Liferay is the next:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://someip:someip,anotherip:anotherport");
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "some");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "somepass");

try {
     Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
     MyDataEJB mydataEJB =
         (MyDataEJB)ctx.lookup("ejb/MyDataEJB#com.company.proyect.worker.ejb.MyDataEJB");

And I´m getting this:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'ejb.MyDataEJB#com.company.proyect.worker.ejb.MyDataEJB' didn't find subcontext 'MyDataEJB#com'. Resolved 'ejb'[Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:While trying to lookup 'ejb.MyDataEJB#com.company.proyect.worker.ejb.MyDataEJB' didn't find subcontext 'ejb.MyDataEJB#com.Resolved 'ejb'] remaining name 'ejb.MyDataEJB#com/company/proyect/worker/ejb/MyDataEJB''

Do you have any idea about what's happening?
Is the pattern ejb/MyDataEJB#com.company.proyect.worker.ejb.MyDataEJB for my lookup wrong?
Thank you so much! :)

A: try to use
MyDataEJB mydataEJB =
         (MyDataEJB)ctx.lookup("ejb/MyDataEJB");
because your EJB is mapped by ejb/MyDataEJB in the JNDI.

The new variant, designated Conficker.E, is arriving through the worm's P2P connectivity.
Symantec said the new Conficker/Downadup variant .E is designed to update version .C rather than the first-generation .A variant.
"In actuality, the primary objective is to update .C with the new features discussed during the briefing and drop Waledac binary onto the .C infected machines," a company spokesperson said in an e-mail.
Not every security company agrees the malicious code being detected belongs to Conficker. Bkis, a security research firm based in Vietnam, said Thursday that the malware Trend Micro identified is associated with the Waledac worm.
Weafer, however, argues that not all honeypots -- the machines used to collect malware samples -- contain the same samples.
The Conficker/Downadup worm was designed initially to exploit a Microsoft Windows vulnerability that was patched (MS08-067) last October. Since then, it has been updated several times. It now is capable of multiple attack vectors, including USB devices and brute-force password guessing. It also uses various advanced techniques to escape detection and to maintain its command-and-control channel, including a pseudo-random algorithm for generating the domains it uses to receive commands.
Somewhere between 1 million and 2 million computers are believed to be actively infected with the malware, down from almost 9 million in January. According to IBM ISS Managed Security Services, the highest number of infections are in Asia (45%), followed by Europe (31%), South America (13.6%), and North America (5.8%), with the rest in the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere.


At the de Beaumont Foundation's 2018 holiday party, Katie Sellers (right) was the proud winner of the "I Love Rachel" shirt, created by Lizzie Corcoran (left).
The de Beaumont Foundation announced in early November a new initiative – the first-ever list of "40 Under 40 in Public Health." This initiative provides a platform for young public health professionals to apply to be recognized as a public health leader who is showcasing new ideas, creative problem solving and innovative solutions. There are lists like this for people in healthcare, but our list will specifically showcase leaders who recognize that health is more than healthcare. As we have been working on this new initiative, we have received many nominations for candidates. It's been uplifting to see how many people want to showcase the work of their supervisors and colleagues, and the Foundation is excited for the announcement of the first cohort of 40 Under 40 winners in the spring.
Using data from our PH WINS survey (Public Health Interests and Needs Survey), the Foundation identifies high- and low-scoring metrics that help to characterize and understand the governmental public health workforce. When asked if creativity and innovation are rewarded in their workplace, fewer than half of public health professionals said yes. Without fostering creativity and innovation, the public health workforce will be unable to tackle new and complex health challenges. Public health professionals who say creativity and innovation are rewarded are more likely to be satisfied with their job and are less likely to consider leaving their organization. This new research on creativity and innovation is a call to action for public health leaders to think about how to foster creativity and innovation in their workforce to help improve workplace measures and to drive change in health departments.
In September, I attended the 2018 annual convening for the BUILD Health Challenge. I heard from BUILD sites and grantees about the population health problems they are tackling and how the unique BUILD collaborative model has catalyzed their work. Sharing learnings across BUILD sites, real-time examples of cross-sector collaborations in practice and an in-depth look at systems thinking for community health were just a few of the topics I was able to delve into at the meeting.
One of the most inspiring things about working at the Foundation has been celebrations of local policy successes. For example, working with CityHealth, an initiative of the de Beaumont Foundation and Kaiser Permanente, partners in San Antonio passed a new Tobacco 21 policy and Baltimore signed a Complete Streets policy. Many other cities are working gaining or improving their bronze, silver, or gold medal status with CityHealth. Members of the Big Cities Health Coalition like San Francisco moved policies banning the sale of menthol cigarettes and all flavors of e-cigarettes, and members are taking up gun violence prevention as a key issue to focus on.

La valle del destino (The Valley of Decision) è un film del 1945, diretto da Tay Garnett. Ha ricevuto due nomination agli oscar, una per la miglior attrice protagonista, l'altra per la miglior colonna sonora.

Trama

Una giovane va a fare la domestica per una famiglia, proprietaria di un pozzo minerario, nel quale il padre della giovane si era gravemente infortunato. Onesta e volenterosa si attira la benevolenza di tutta la famiglia, specie di uno dei figli, ma i padri si oppongono; quando il padre di lei capitolerà saranno inizialmente i due giovani a rinunciare in virtù della distanza fra i loro mondi, però poi le cose prendono per i due una piega positiva.

In case you haven't already heard, the 2019 World Rally Championship season kicked off last weekend in Monte Carlo. It was full of action and tons of close calls. As always, the footage looks absolutely absurd.
The Methka YouTube channel was on the sidelines this year as some of rally's finest drivers and fastest cars hit the icy stages of the WRC's opening event. Changing surfaces and challenging stage roads pushed drivers to the absolute limit, and it certainly shows. The cars are going by so quickly, it looks as if the footage is speed up to 1.5-times normal speed.
This is truly the definition of maximum attack.
Sebastien Ogier ended up taking the win overall, with Thierry Neuville and Ott Tanak joining in on the podium closely behind. If WRC is as action-packed as this year's Monte Carlo, we can't wait to see it unfold.

Air Force Nondestructive Inspection: 2A7X2 & 2A732 Career Profile
Posted on Last Updated: January 17, 2023 January 17, 2023 Author Rob V. Comment(0) 283 Views
Airmen in the Air Force Nondestructive Inspection career field are responsible for keeping the branch's aerospace weapons systems operating in an effective and safe manner.
These jobs are categorized as Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2A7X2, and 2A732 in particular.
Members of this AFSC are integral to mission success within the U.S. Air Force and Space Force.
Here is a look at Air Force Nondestructive Inspection careers (2A7X2 and 2A732).

2A7X2 & 2A732 Careers Overview
Duties Of Nondestructive Inspection Careers
Qualifications For 2A7X2 And 2A732
Training For Nondestructive Inspection Career
Image: Af.mil
Airmen with careers in nondestructive inspection are in charge of implementing testing measures and inspecting aerospace weapons systems for structural integrity.
This job is critical to the safety and success of Air Force and Space Force service members.
The phrase "nondestructive inspection" refers to methods that don't involve explosions or breakage of equipment.
A career as an Air Force Nondestructive Inspection specialist requires a great deal of knowledge.
This is especially true in terms of the characteristics of metals, including identification, content, discontinuity, and flaw detection.
These specialists also have expertise in the operation and maintenance of nondestructive test and oil analysis equipment, safety practices and codes, radiological safety, and radiation monitoring procedures.
Nondestructive inspection specialists are crucial in their roles, examining systems for imperfections at an almost invisible level to prevent terrible consequences if they are not otherwise identified and repaired.
Therefore, these airmen must rely on their skills in addition to equipment such as X-rays and ultrasound machines to inspect for tiny flaws and make recommendations for repair based on their findings.
Airmen in the 2A7X2 and 2A732 career field are tasked with finding and assessing any problems or issues with Air Force aerospace weapons.
Their primary duties are to inspect the components of weapon systems.
This includes inspecting support equipment for structural integrity and performing fluid analysis as well.
Specific duties of nondestructive inspection specialists involve some or all of the following:
Inspecting metal engine parts for wear and tear
Checking lubricating oil or other fluids for leaking or seeping into cracks
Radiation testing to ensure safety levels for personnel
Computing and monitoring personal exposure areas for radiographic operations
Airmen in these careers use their inspection skills to find any imperfections such as cracks, voids, or processing defects.
In addition, they check for heat damage by using the following methods:
Penetrant
Eddy current
Radiographic equipment
Ultrasonic test equipment
Other duties include examining engines and other components for metallurgical properties such as alloy, conductivity, temper, and other factors.
Members of this career field are also integral in their roles of computing and monitoring personal exposure areas for radiographic operations and personnel exposure data.
Nondestructive inspection specialists also perform operator maintenance and service inspections on tools and equipment.
Part of their responsibility as well is handling and disposing of hazardous waste and materials.
Related Article – US Air Force Engineering (3E5X1): Career Details
A career in Air Force nondestructive inspection calls for many qualifications.
Some of the basic requirements for this field include:
S. citizenship
Normal color vision (no colorblindness)
In addition to a high school diploma, candidates for 2A7X2 and 2A732 benefit in providing a transcript with proof of passing grades in the following courses and/or subjects:
Air Force recruits must also score a 44 in the Mechanical (M) section of the ASVAB test (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery).
Related Article – ASVAB Scores For Air Force Jobs
Air Force service members who wish to pursue a career in nondestructive inspection begin with basic training.
"Basic," as it is often called, covers military skills, customs, and other training.
Those selected for AFSC 2A7X32 and 2A732 undergo training and skill development through study in a classroom setting as well as on-the-job experience.
Two courses in nondestructive inspections (basic and advanced) must be completed in addition to Air Force basic training and Airmen's Week.
Airmen who meet all qualifications and requirements for this career field will receive formal technical training in Florida at Pensacola Naval Air Station.
This training lasts approximately seven weeks.
With time, even the most advanced and well-maintained military equipment suffers wear and tear.
This can cause potential defects in systems and equipment that must be identified and fixed to avoid problems and malfunctions that pose serious risks to units and personnel.
Nondestructive inspection specialists are responsible for identifying the smallest of imperfections in aerospace weapons systems.
This includes their components and structures.
To accomplish these inspections, they use equipment such as X-rays and ultrasound machines.
In addition to identifying problems in the structural integrity of such systems, these service members recommend and pursue corrective measures to keep the components working safely and effectively.
Of course, nondestructive inspection airmen are military professionals with expertise that is specific to the Air Force and its weapons systems.
However, such skills can prepare airmen for transitioning to careers in the civilian sector.
For example, 2A7X2 and 2A732 AFSC personnel would be qualified for a career as a civilian mechanic, especially in the field of vehicle inspection.

Nondestructive Inspection in the Air Force is an important career field that is responsible for keeping weapons systems operating effectively.

Please help us meet Aidan's needs!
Aidan Wright was your typical toddler: curious, inquisitive, playful, and fun. He loved to play with his toys and give hugs and kisses to everyone he met. He literally didn't know a stranger. All that changed on February 16, 2008 when he suffered a traumatic brain injury due to a near-drowning accident he suffered at his second birthday party.
Nana, who is a Registered Nurse, began CPR immediately while Russell called 911.
It only took three minutes for the first responders to arrive and take over. The paramedics worked on Aidan at the scene, intubated him and continued to try and get a pulse. They did not get a pulse on Aidan until about 40-45 minutes later after they arrived at the ER.
Once at the hospital, initial blood work showed Aidan's blood was extremely acidic. He also had severe hypothermia from his time in the 45° water. We were told to prepare for the worst, because the doctors on duty did not expect Aidan to survive.
Through the first hours, Aidan was warmed slowly until he became fevered from developing pneumonia. As a result, Aidan was kept in a medically induced coma for several days. Initial EEGs showed very slow brain activity and some seizures, while CT scans showed little swelling and initial MRIs showed very little damage to his brain.
After several more EEGs and MRIs, it was found that Aidan was showing more brain activity, but his brain had shrunk somewhat and the areas that initially looked hypoxic (oxygen-deprived) had infarcted (died) on the second MRI, causing a stroke in Aidan's midbrain (basal ganglia) area. This damage results in Aidan having multiple seizures and "sympathetic neuro-storms".
Aidan spent 40 days at the Pediatric ICU of Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center-Northeast in Concord, NC. He was then transferred to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, NC where he received physical, occupational and speech therapy for three weeks. Aidan was released from the hospital on April 17, 2008; two months and a day after his accident. He currently continues to receive nursing care at home, as well as inpatient and outpatient therapies. After three years, he has made a lot of progress, but there is still much that needs to be done. He is confined to a wheelchair, non-verbal, and must take feedings and medications via G-Tube.
To assist with the immense challenge of financing uninsured therapies and other injury-related expenses, a fundraising campaign has been established with the NTAF Catastrophic Injury Program. NTAF is a nonprofit organization that assists people needing organ/tissue transplants or having experienced catastrophic injuries. All contributions are administered by NTAF exclusively for injury-related expenses. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
To make a credit card contribution, call NTAF at 800-642-8399 or visit www.NTAFund.org and enter Aidan Wright in the Find a Patient box on the NTAF homepage.
Family and friends are also planning a series of community events to benefit Aidan. We can use your time, energy and creativity in any and every way. Please call or email me with any questions, to volunteer your time or to request additional information.
Thank you for your interest in our son, as well as your continued support and prayers.
There may be other things, but that's a start. As always, we greatly appreciate everything everyone has done for us over the past three years. I pray someday we will have news that Aidan has made a huge step in progress for everyone to see.
Disease can always be traced back to malnutrition. We are malnourished because our patented foods do not provide whole food nutrition; and our bodies can no longer sustain the toxic load. The key to good health is excellent quality nutrition and the effective assimilation and absorption in the digestive system. Supplements need to be whole foods and not chemical clones of the Real thing. Complete and perfect health is maintained via the health tripod of body-mind-spirit. When even one of these is out of balance, the physical body will be dis-eased. Treat the body while raising consciousness and changing mind.
So sad to read about what the little kid is going through. I hope you guys are able to get the required help and that when you do Aiden makes a speedy recovery. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
They are doing an amazing job by helping poor to get medications with fund raising. Such centers are actually the reason of standing the societies which actually live for thers.


The Human Rights Centre of the University of Essex offers a five-day "Summer School in Human Rights Research Methods" from 1-5 July 2019. The summer school is an ideal course for postgraduate students, academics, lawyers and human rights professionals working in NGOs, government and international organisations.
This Research Methods summer school provides the core methods and skills needed to carry out human rights research whether for academic scholarship, bids for large research projects or reports for NGOs, governments and international organisations. Participants will learn how to design research projects and carry them out both in a headquarters environment or while working in the field. They will learn about the range of tools and methodologies for human rights research (whether academic or practical) and when, why and how to employ particular research methods in specific research contexts. The summer school not only focuses on documenting human rights violations using qualitative and quantitative research methods but it also addresses questions of how to measure the impact and effectiveness of policies and practices based on human rights.
The summer school will be taught by a combination of Essex and external human rights academics and practitioners. All sessions will focus on research design, methodology and impact and will examine relevant examples and case-studies. The programme also includes dedicated sessions on particular projects to develop the themes of research design, methodology and impact in greater depth. As an interactive summer school, it will afford participants many opportunities to apply the theory they have learned, including through dedicated sessions in which participants will be given a problem ahead of the session and asked to prepare the research questions, methodology and impact strategy. Participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback on existing research plans in one-on-one clinics throughout the school. Particular topics that will be covered in the sessions include: interviewing survivors of human rights violations, the use of focus groups and the role of databases, amongst many others.

Accra Psychiatric Hospital: Suspects for mental exam abandoned for 30yrs
Information gathered from the corridors of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital indicates that a number of suspects who have been referred for mental examination in the course of their trial for various offences have been abandoned at the hospital for years, with some of them having been there for over 30 years.
Asked how many suspects had suffered such fate, Francisca Ntow, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the hospital, told the daily heritage that, "We wouldn't be able to give you a definite figure but are quite a good number of patients.
What is worrying is the fact that prosecution officers who are put in charge of these patients fail to come back for them even after the hospital has communicated to them after the findings of their examination on the suspects.
"By right, after assessing them (suspects), a letter is written to the court for them to come for these patients based on the findings; whether they are okay to face prosecution or probably during the time they committed the crime they were not okay or again they were pretending."But unfortunately, that is not what happened. You write to them, and it takes forever for them to come in for the patients. Sometimes when you follow up, you don't get the prosecuting officer; he might either had been transferred or probably dead.
"…It is interesting that nobody is taking over the case but we believe that it should be continuous, so once a prosecuting officer is no more, it doesn't mean that the case should just be left. So, that is how come we have these patients here."
The PRO said, as a result, the management of the hospital had decided they would no longer admit persons referred to the facility from the courts for mental examination unless the prisons or prosecuting officers were ready to bring them from the prisons. Nurses turned guards
She told the paper that some of the suspects who were brought for assessment "find their way out of this hospital and escape because the facilities we have are not safe enough to be keeping such patients".
Ms. Ntow said, "By rights, we should be having security officers here like elsewhere to arrest such patients when they hurt others; when you go to Korle-Bu sometimes you see police officers or other general hospitals you see police officers manning these patients, but that is not what happens here.
"It is our own nurses who are actually the security officers and it is not the best so management have decided to stop admitting such patients so what we do now is that these patients are brought in from the prisons and escorted by the prisons officers. Then after their assessment, they go back to the prisons. Suspects left to rot for 30 years
The PRO told the paper that even though there are directives from the management of the hospital that took effect about two years ago that such patients should discharged, relatives do not want their patients because of the stigma and so we have people who are over 30 years in this hospital."
"We cannot discharge them to go because the issue is that when we discharge them, they find themselves on the street and even the ones we discharge to relatives, they find themselves on the street, how much more these ones who do not have relatives."
Ms. Ntow said the hospital management would welcome any assistance from the government or the private sector that could help take some of the constraints so the hospital could serve its patients better.

What Exactly Is The Upper Body?
The upper body refers to all parts of the body above the waist. Increasing upper body strength involves performing some heavy weighted workouts targeted at muscles that make up the upper body.
The chest houses some of the largest muscles in the body and is an essential part of bodybuilding. A well-developed chest improves your physique, keeps the body strong, and adds weight to your upper body.
The pectorals are the muscles found in the chest. They include the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor also called pecs. These muscles are large, flat, run across the chest and are responsible for arm movements, ie, lateral, vertical or rotational. Working the pecs will increase chest size in men and support/lift the bust in women.
The shoulders contain muscles that form the outer shape of the shoulder and forearm. They work with and assist the back and chest muscles in aiding movements and maintaining the shoulder joint.
Working the shoulder will strengthen soft tissues, keep the shoulder strong, coordinated and flexible, helps in proper functioning of the shoulder joint and prevents joint injuries. A strong and well-developed shoulder adds weight to the upper body.
The back is a significant part of the upper body and very important area to work on during bodybuilding. It is the most complex major muscular structure in the body and combines different muscles which work together during physical activities.
The arm is a complex part of the upper body and contains various muscles that facilitate movement.
The muscles are grouped into upper arm muscles and forearm muscles.
A well defined upper body requires performing workouts targeted at the various muscles in the upper region. These workouts can be performed with dumbbells, stability balls, and weight plates. However, some exercises can help you sculpt a strong upper body but do not require any weights.
During workouts, incorporating compound exercises into your routine will prove very useful in increasing upper body strength. Compound exercises work different muscles at the same time and will include activities performed with weights, barbells, dumbbells, machines and those performed with your body weight and some resistance bands.
The following exercises will target and strengthen the muscles in the back, arms, shoulders, and chest. They will increase strength, tone and define the upper body, improve speed, overall balance, posture, improve your core strength, flexibility, reduce risk to injuries, keep you healthy and fit and improve your physical appearance.
Place your hands apart on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your legs behind you, either shoulder width apart or with feet touching.
Perform four sets of 20 reps with 2 minutes rest in between sets.
This exercise can be performed with a dumbbell, barbell, or a smith machine.
Target: Chest, shoulders, and biceps.
Can be performed on the floor or with a workout bench.
Can be performed on a workout bench, in a smith machine.

Live Billiards Game Review - Download and Play Free Version!
Game play is easy. Simply left click to set your cue after you have lined up the shot, pull back the mouse toward you to set the power, then quickly move the mouse toward the screen to strike the cue ball.
The balls roll just like in real pool and there are even help options to show you where the balls will roll.
Additional features include English, en masse, ball jumping and so much more. Way cool!
Live Billiards is an excellent pool game that lets you play pool games ranging from 8-ball to less common ones such as American and Rotation. A tutorial and practice mode that lets you undo shots, move balls, see recommended shots, and more makes this a game anyone can learn and enjoy. You can play against computer opponents on any one of nine different difficulty settings, or take on real people via a LAN or online. You even have the ability to customize the appearance of the pool table you play on.
You start off the same as in many other pool games by selecting which type of game you want to play. There are some common ones such as 3-ball and 8-ball, as well as others like American and Pyramid. You then select whether you want to play against another player or the computer. If you choose to play against the computer, you can select a difficulty level for that opponent. You then can set how many matches someone needs to win (from a single match to many).
After setting up the game, you begin playing with the rules of whatever type of game you picked. You play until you either quit or someone wins enough matches. When the game ends, you'll be able to select the options all over again and start a new game.
There are a few modes in Live Billiards that affect how you play the game. The Tutorial teaches you everything you need to know to play pool and be successful.
Additionally, you can play any type of game in a Practice Alone mode or Practice with Opponent mode. These modes give you some options to help make the game easier and give you a chance to improve your skills. For example, in the practice modes you can undo moves, move balls, see recommended shots, and turn on lines that show the path of the ball after you hit it. These features help you train and learn the games. There's also a Competition mode that lets you take on opponents without any sort of help.
One positive aspect of the game is the large number of difficulty settings to choose from. When facing off against a computer opponent, you can select one of nine different difficulty levels. This allows you to better tune the opponent to your skill level, and play a game that provides a reasonable challenge.
The controls in Live Billiards are fairly simple and straightforward. All controls can easily be referenced quickly a help menu in the game. You mainly use the mouse to aim and take shots. Other keys and controls let you adjust things such as music, the view, or the cue angle. The one issue when it comes to the controls is adjusting or controlling how powerful your shots are. You take shots by moving the mouse backwards and then forwards to hit the ball. However, this method means that it's difficulty to fine tune how hard you're going to hit the ball. It would have been nice to have some sort of alternative to make it easier to take weaker/low power shots.
Another positive aspect of the game is the presentation. The graphics are well done and similar to other pool games. You can customize some of the appearances, such as changing the type of pool table as well as its color. You can also change the room the pool table is in. The tables themselves are also very detailed, and you can see realistic details like coin slots on the side of the table.
The audio is another great part of the game. Not only do you hear the normal sounds of pool, but the game includes music as well. While there is only a single song in the game, you can add your own to a folder and play them back in the game. It's a nice addition that adds more customization and improves the feel of the game.
Overall, Live Billiards is an excellent pool game that's absolutely perfect for any fan of pool. The tutorial and practice modes make this a great game regardless of your skill level. You've got a large number of game types to add some variety and keep the game entertaining. You can take on computer opponents on a range of difficulty levels, or play against other people on a LAN or online. You can even customize the appearance of pool tables and the room you play in.
There are some minor issues like the limited music included with the game or controlling your shot power, but they pale in comparison to the positives of the game. If you have any sort of interest in pool, don't hesitate to try this game.


In your home land, they all call you "Queen"
Tell me, where are you from, your eyes say, "Shada de da dum."
You have fallen from the sky.

People: Why tf r u so obsessed w tøp?

"This song is called Ruby, it's about a girl who goes to my church, Josh and I's church. She's just a little girl, she's got Down Syndrome, she inspired me."
Just because no one has said it yet. Sam Winchester. The Supernatural fandom sends their regards.

Dont mind me, just hear to educate people on trisomy 21. This song reeks of it.


Every two weeks, Comics Panel covers recent notable releases along the entire comics spectrum, from superhero/mainstream comics to graphic novels/art comics.
In his recent graphic novel Julio's Day, Gilbert Hernandez condenses 100 years of a man's life to 100 pages, giving as much weight to what he leaves out of the story as what he chooses to include. Hernandez's new book, Marble Season (D&Q), does much the same, but on a different scale. Based on Hernandez's own memories of growing up in the 1960s, Marble Season consists of 120 pages of loosely connected anecdotes about playing with action figures, reading superhero comics, collecting Mars Attacks cards, and getting into trouble. Like a lot of Hernandez's comics over the past decade, Marble Season doesn't feel particularly planned out. It's more like Hernandez just sat down in front of a blank page and started drawing whatever he could recall about being a boy, without worrying too much about whether it amounted to a story, per se. Yet toward the end of the book, a narrative of sorts does emerge, exploring how kids grow up, lose some of their sense of the fantastic, and develop more self-consciousness.
A handful of DC titles saw new creative teams in April, and while Charles Soule and Kano's Swamp Thing #19 proved to be an intriguing start, it's the outlier of the pack. Prospects looked grim for Action Comics #19 (DC) before the issue even hit the stands, with writer Andy Diggle departing the title because of "professional reasons." The ongoing turmoil between the editors and the creators at DC has done significant damage to its output, and Diggle's departure puts the company in a tough position as it prepares for the upcoming Man Of Steel film. Fans of the film looking to pick up Superman comics this summer will be able to choose from Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's new Superman Unchained and Scott Lobdell's contributions on both Action Comics and Superman, which doesn't bode well for the latter two, considering Lobdell's New 52 work.
While Action Comics stumbles as it breaks away from what the previous creative team laid down, Red Hood And The Outlaws #19 (DC) struggles by staying overly faithful to what came before. New writer James Tynion IV picks up on plot threads established during Scott Lobdell's run, sending Roy Harper and Starfire on a quest to find Jason Todd, who has run off after the events of the "Death Of The Family" crossover. Mico Suayan was the artist originally attached to Tynion's run, and Suayan's leaked cover for this issue revealed a Jason Todd who has had his face removed Joker-style, sparking questions as to what the title's new direction was initially supposed to be. Was Jason's scarring at the end of "Death Of The Family" supposed to stick? Was Tynion's original story going to reflect that? That would help explain why #19 feels rushed, with Tynion turning to the ill-defined mystical elements of Lobdell's run as Jason gets his bad memories removed via magic.
Both Jason and Roy are haunted by their pasts, and while Jason tries to erase his, Roy confronts his head-on when the villain Essence sabotages his dreams. All the people Roy has wronged in his life try to break his spirit, but he cuts them down using the techniques Jason has been teaching him. It's basically a retread of what Lobdell did in his last issue, which had Jason confronting all the people he's let down in hopes of recovering from the Joker's attack. Clearly it didn't work very well. What the issue does excel at is the action, with Julius Gopez turning in crisp artwork that falls somewhere between Shane Davis and former Red Hood artist Kenneth Rocafort.
Earning four Eisner nominations for its magnificent series Bandette, Monkeybrain Comics has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the comic-book industry. Theremin #1 (Monkeybrain) is the latest success from the publisher, a historical science-fiction series following Leon Theremin, the Russian engineer who invented the Theremin, a musical instrument used heavily in '60s and '70s pop and rock 'n' roll music. In Curt Pires and Dalton Rose's new ongoing, Theremin's creation is both a musical instrument and a time-travel device, and that second quality ends up changing history quite a bit. The first issue begins with a thrilling sequence showing Theremin in full-on secret-agent mode, shooting Vladimir Lenin in the face, then using his device to escape from two cloaked KGB agents by jumping through time.
