Do the Ivys Discriminate Against Asian-Americans?
@natalie_ng At this time it's just a dream, but I think Asians should seriously consider it - especially their native nation's governments. I'd like to see a reverse brain drain.
I am interested in seeing how the end of the brain drain by America (see Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan as examples) combined with a possible brain drain BY China will affect the Anglo-Americans. Some 40-50% phd(s) earned in America are by foreigners, of which the Chinese and South Asians constitute a [at or near] majority.

The Borinqueneers: 65th Infantry Regiment
By Daniel Ramos
During his second voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus arrived on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico on November 19, 1493. The island was inhabited by an indigenous people known as the Tainos, who had migrated from South America to the Caribbean. At the time the Island had no official name. The Tainos referred to their home island as Boriken or Borinquen, which means "Land of the Valiant Lords." Over the years, many traders and sailors began calling the island Puerto Rico (Rich Port). Spanish Conquistador Juan Ponce De Leon served as lieutenant to Columbus during his second voyage. In 1508, Ponce De Leon established the first Spanish settlement on the island and became the first governor of Puerto Rico. Almost 400 years later, Spanish control of Puerto Rico ended in 1898 after Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American War. Spain ceded control of the Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico to the United States. On December 10, 1898, Puerto Rico officially became a US territory.
Origin of the 65th Infantry Regiment
By an act of congress on March 2, 1899, the first Puerto Rican unit was formed for US military service. It was a volunteer battalion comprised of four companies with 100 men each. By February 1900, the unit had grown to regiment size. A second act of Congress made the Puerto Rican regiment part of the US Army on May 27, 1908.
During World War I, the regiment was never deployed overseas, but ironically was the first unit of the United States Army to engage forces of the German Empire. On March 21, 1915, a German supply ship trying to force its way out of San Juan Harbor to deliver supplies to German U-boats in the Atlantic came under fire from positions at El Morro Castle manned by the Puerto Rican regiment. The Germans were forced to surrender the ship and its supplies. In March, 1919, the regiment was officially renamed the 65th Infantry Regiment.

On November 25, 1943, the 65th Infantry Regiment, which had been under the command of American officers, was placed under the leadership of Colonel Antulio Segarra, making him the first Puerto Rican army officer to command a regular US Army regiment. The 65th would see combat in Italy, France, and Germany during World War II. A total of 65,034 Puerto Ricans served in the US military during World War II. However, the battles against the Nazis in Europe would be overshadowed within a few years by the epic battles against communism in Korea during the Cold War.
The 65th Infantry Regiment in the Korean War
On June 25, 1950, communist North Korea had invaded South Korea, threatening to bring all of Korea under communist rule. The United States and its allies had been growing increasingly concerned about the spread of communism around the world and the rising influence of the Soviet Union. Before the outbreak of conflict in Korea, Soviet-backed communists had risen to power through Eastern Europe and China. Supplied by the Soviet Union and China, the North Korean army had shattered South Korea's underequipped forces and was threatening to overrun the country.
Two days after the North Korean invasion of South Korea, President Harry S. Truman ordered American air and naval forces to intervene in Korea, and soon US military commanders would recommend the deployment of American ground troops. In New York City, the United Nations had unanimously passed a resolution authorizing military action to repulse the North Koreans. Besides the United States, 15 UN member nations would deploy combat troops to aid South Korea.
The United States began a rapid mobilization of its armed forces. One of the units deployed was the 65th Infantry Regiment from Puerto Rico. At the time, the regiment was undermanned, comprised of only 92 officers and 1,895 enlisted personnel out of its authorized strength of 4,000. More than half of the regiment's officers were American, while the enlisted men were entirely Puerto Rican.
The regiment was commanded by Colonel William W. Harris, a West Point graduate and World War II veteran. Before the regiment deployed, Colonel Harris and Brigadier General Edwin L. Sibert arranged for the creation of a personnel replacement center at Camp Tortuguero, Puerto Rico. During the Korean War, Camp Tortuguero trained 30,500 replacements for military service, most of whom would serve with the 65th Infantry Regiment.
Just days before deploying, the regiment bulked up by adding 1,200 reservists and 600 recruits. "If I'd had more time," Colonel Harris stated, "I could have recruited 50,000."[1] On August 27, 1950, the Regiment shipped out for Korea. Many of the soldiers in the 65th were World War II veterans, and most were fluent in English and Spanish.
During the long voyage, the men came up with the regiment's now famous nickname, "The Borinqueneers." The first part of the nickname refers to Puerto Rico's original name, given by the Taino natives, who called the island Borinquen. Today, many who were born in Puerto Rico refer to themselves as Boricuas. The second part of the nickname refers to 17th century Caribbean pirates called Buccaneers. The nickname seemed fitting during the voyage across the Pacific Ocean. On September 23, 1950, The Borinqueneers arrived in Pusan, South Korea, which had become the staging base for American and United Nations troops arriving in Korea.
Before the arrival of the Borinqueneers, the previous three months had seen intense combat on the Korean peninsula. The South Korean capital, Seoul, had fallen under North Korean control on June 28, just three days after the invasion began. Outnumbered, and outgunned, the South Korean army was in retreat, causing mass panic amongst the civilian population, which began to flee south with the Army.
The nearest force to assist was the US 24th Infantry Division on occupation duty in Japan. However US Army units in Japan were inexperienced, poorly trained, and poorly equipped since the end of World War II five years earlier. The 24th Infantry was rushed into Korea with disastrous results. On July 6, American troops fought the North Koreans for the first time in the Battle of Osan, just south of Seoul; 540 American troops were soundly defeated by 5,000 North Korean troops. Throughout July, American troops suffered similar defeats at Pyongtaek, Chonan, Chochiwon, and Taejon.
Despite terrible losses, American and South Korean troops succeeded in delaying and slowing down the North Korean advance. By August, American and South Korean troops, pushed to the brink of defeat, had formed a defensive perimeter around the port city of Pusan in a desperate last stand. Backed by overwhelming air and naval power, American, South Korean, and UN troops fought off numerous North Korean offensives to break through the Pusan perimeter. As the North Korean army became increasingly exhausted, reinforcements were arriving into Pusan from the United States and other UN nations. By September, the tide had turned in favor of the UN Coalition.
On September 15, an American-led force had conducted an amphibious landing on the port city of Inchon, just west of Seoul. By the time the Borinqueneers had arrived at Pusan, UN forces had broken the North Korean siege around the Pusan perimeter, and US Marines from Inchon were advancing through Seoul. For the Borinqueneers, spirits were high, and the mood was optimistic. By the end of September, all of South Korea had been liberated.

Minutes after this photo was taken, Lopez sacrificed his life by throwing his body over a live grenade to save his own men. He earned the Medal of Honor posthumously.
On October 7, UN command authorized its forces to cross the 38th Parallel, the border between North and South Korea, in an attempt to secure total victory. Decimated from severe losses, and facing a reinvigorated multinational coalition, the North Korean army was steadily pushed back.
Assigned to the US 3rd Infantry Division, the 65th Infantry Regiment would primarily be involved in anti-guerrilla activities and cutting off enemy escape routes. The regiment fought its first significant engagement on October 17, when 500 North Koreans attacked E Company at Kumpchon. The battle ended with 79 enemy casualties and 85 captured; 11 Borinqueneers were killed. By the end of October, the 65th Infantry Regiment had inflicted 1,500 casualties on the enemy, at the cost of 221 Borinqueneers killed or wounded. Five silver stars were awarded to men in the unit for gallantry.
As the 65th Infantry Regiment advanced towards the Chinese border, many could see the end in sight. By November, UN forces were advancing towards the Yalu River, and word amongst the troops was that the war could be over by Thanksgiving. Just across the Yalu River, Chinese forces were beginning to mobilize.
Before the war, the communist regime in Beijing had contingency plans to intervene in the event North Korea required assistance. The UN Coalition had ignored numerous warnings from communist China not to cross the 38th Parallel, but a month later, the American-led UN force was approaching the Chinese border and on the verge of total victory.
On November 17, the Chinese army began crossing the Yalu River into Korea under total secrecy. In late November, the weather was quickly deteriorating, and temperatures were rapidly dropping with the onset of winter. At the time, the Borinqueneers were in the area of the Chosin Reservoir, where temperatures had dropped to -35 F. The snow and intense cold was a terrible change from the warm tropical climate of Puerto Rico. To make matters worse, the men lacked winter clothing to protect them from the harsh conditions. UN commanders didn't expect prolonged fighting into the winter season. Using their own ingenuity, the Borinqueneers found ways of surviving the cold by using all kinds of heat generating equipment, from a blow torch to full- sized tent stoves.

Just when it seemed that it couldn't get any worse, on November 27, all along the front, units were coming under attack and being overrun by tens of thousands of Chinese troops. As it turned out, units of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army had entered Korea on October 19, and despite reports over the past month from UN troops that they had engaged and captured Chinese troops, UN commanders simply refused to believe that China had openly intervened in Korea. The Borinqueneers, like many other units, found themselves isolated, outgunned, and outnumbered. They were about to become engaged in the decisive battle of the Korean War.
To the west, the US 8th Army was in full retreat. In the east, the US X Corps was stretched thin as it advanced north. The Borinqueneers ended up cut off at the Chosin Reservoir along with the US 1st Marine Division, elements of the US 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, a South Korean Marine Regiment, and elements of the British Royal Marines, totaling over 30,000 troops. There were 67,000 Chinese troops in the area. Further to the South, the Port city of Hungnam was still under UN control. The only hope of survival was to break through the Chinese encirclement and reach Hungnam. The Borinqueneers fought off numerous attacks by an overwhelming number of Chinese troops, inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy.

One of the Regiment's most important missions was to assist with the US Marine evacuation from the Chosin Reservoir. After 17 days of brutal fighting across the frozen mountain terrain of North Korea, UN troops had finally reached Hungnam with the 65th Infantry Regiment holding the rear. The Borinqueneers set up defenses around Hungnam, while troops, civilians, supplies, and equipment were evacuated by ship. A total of 105,000 troops, 98,000 civilians, 17,500 vehicles, and 350,000 tons of supplies were evacuated from Hungnam to Pusan.
The Borinqueneers were among the last UN troops to leave Hungnam when the evacuation was completed on the afternoon of December 24.
On Christmas Eve 1950, Corporal Julio Guzman (San Juan) and Sgt Major Lupercio Ortiz (Barranquitas) were the last two US soldiers to evacuate the beachhead at Hungnam. Earlier when the US Marines were encircled by the Chinese Communist troops close to the Manchurian border, the Marines were ordered to retreat and work their way back to Hungnam. The 65th Inf. Regiment Borinqueneers rushed to their defense and stayed behind to fight the enemy.
Chinese troops entered Hungnam the following day to discover that the port had been destroyed by retreating UN troops, making the port useless to the Chinese and North Koreans. China's dramatic victory was muted by the successful UN withdrawal from the Chosin Reservoir and Hungnam. The US X Corps was able to preserve its fighting strength despite heavy losses. Commanders of the X Corps and 3rd Infantry Division praised the 65th Infantry Regiment for its outstanding performance. The regiment had suffered 120 casualties but inflicted massive losses upon enemy forces attempting to encircle them. Eleven Silver Stars were awarded to men in the Regiment for extraordinary gallantry, including Colonel William W. Harris. The regiment was also awarded a Navy Unit Commendation for actions with US marines in the battle.

The massive Chinese offensive had forced the UN Coalition to retreat across the 38th Parallel. The Chinese army advanced south capturing Seoul on January 7, 1951. But by this point, the Chinese army was completely exhausted, and the UN Coalition would soon launch a counter-offensive.
On January 31, the 65th Infantry launched an attack on three strategic hills just south of Seoul. After three days of fighting, the Borinqueneers charged forward with fixed bayonets onto the final enemy positions, forcing the Chinese to retreat. Commanding General Douglas MacArthur later wrote of the regiment's performance stating, "The Puerto Ricans forming the ranks of the gallant 65th Infantry Regiment on the battlefields of Korea by valor, determination and a resolute will to victory give daily testament to their invincible loyalty to the United States and the fervor of their devotion to those immutable standards of human relations to which the Americans and the Puerto Ricans are in common dedicated. They are writing a brilliant record of achievement in battle and I am proud indeed to have them in this command. I wish that we might have many more like them."[2]

In February, 1951, the 65th Infantry took part in Operation Killer. It was the first unit to cross the Han River and was one of the first units to reenter Seoul. In March, the 65th Infantry managed to destroy an entire North Korean regiment that had attempted to attack the 3rd Infantry Division from the rear. In April, the 65th Infantry led the 3rd Infantry Division in an offensive that defeated elements of the Chinese 26th Army.
During the Chinese Spring Offensive, the 65th Infantry fought off two Chinese divisions. The Borinqueneers retreated in good order and counter-attacked whenever possible. From May to July, the 65th Infantry was instrumental in the defense of the Chorwon Valley and defeating communist forces in the Iron Triangle. By the end of 1951, the 65th Infantry had suffered 1,510 casualties, but was credited with 15,787 enemies killed in action and capturing 2,169 prisoners.

By the start of 1952, the UN Coalition and the communist forces were holding positions along the 38th Parallel. Both sides realized the futility of trying to drive each other off the Korean Peninsula. Instead, the war would end through negotiations. For troops on the 38th parallel, the fighting would be a grueling war of attrition to wear down the opposing side. Instead of massive offensives across the Peninsula, each side would be fighting for insignificant hills, ridges, and mountains, anything which could be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations. The 65th Infantry found itself defending the Chorwon Valley, launching only occasional raids against Chinese positions.
"Raiders" 3rd Battalion, 65th Infantry; January, 1952.
On February 1, 1952, the regiment came under the command of Colonel Juan Cesar Cordero-Davila. Colonel Cordero-Davila was a World War II veteran who served with the 65th Infantry. He commanded the Puerto Rican National Guard, was responsible for training most of the men in the regiment, and was the highest ranked ethnic officer in the army. This came at a time when the US Army was ending segregation. It signaled a changing attitude within the army over the role of minorities.

During the fall of 1952, the Chinese army had completed a major build-up in preparation for massive offensives meant to gain better strategic positions before the winter season, and to gain an advantage in the ongoing peace talks. The Borinqueneers would bear the brunt of heavy fighting.
In September, the 65th Infantry was defending a position called Outpost Kelly near Yonchon, North Korea. Throughout September, the Borinqueneers fought elements of the Chinese 39th army for control of the Outpost. The fighting was fierce and bloody, but despite the Borinqueneers' valiant efforts, Outpost Kelly ultimately ended up in enemy hands. The 65th Infantry suffered a total of 542 casualties, making it the regiment's deadliest engagement of the war.
After a review of his conduct during the Battle of Outpost Kelly, Colonel Cordero-Davila was relieved of command for "poor judgment, poor leadership, and poor decision making." The regiment was then placed under the command of Colonel Chester B. DeGavre.
In October, the Chinese launched another series of offensives. The 65th Infantry would once again be called to defend an area called Jackson Heights on the eastern edge of the Chorwon Valley. The battle pushed the regiment to its breaking point. G Company fought desperately to hold onto an outpost on Hill 391 but was forced to withdraw in fear of being overrun by a larger Chinese force. During the battle, elements of L Company refused to attack when ordered.
Under Colonel DeGavre, morale within the regiment had deteriorated. After the loss of Outpost Kelly, Colonel DeGavre ordered all the men to shave their mustaches "until such time as they give proof of their manhood," and made some of them wear signs saying, "I am a coward."[3] Many of the Borinqueneers considered DeGavre's order an insult.
Ammunition and morale had already been low before the Battle of Jackson Heights. After G Company's withdrawal from Hill 391, Colonel DeGavre stripped the regiment of its nickname and had rations cut.
The 65th Infantry's performance issues in the fall of 1952 could be attributed to a number of causes: a shortage of qualified non-commissioned officers (NCO's), a rotation schedule that removed the most combat-experienced men, a high casualty rate, a shortage in ammunition, a language barrier between enlisted men and American officers, since many of the replacements couldn't speak English, and poor leadership of the regiment's commanding officers leading to a breakdown in morale.
In December, 1954, 162 soldiers of the 65th Infantry were arrested for acts of insubordination and mutiny that occurred during the Battle of Jackson Heights. Ninety-one soldiers were ultimately found guilty and sentenced to terms ranging from one to 18 years of hard labor. It was the largest mass court-martial of the Korean War. The media soon brought the incident to public attention, leading to negotiations between the Puerto Rican and US governments, which ultimately led to pardons for all the soldiers involved.
From 1952 to 1953, the frontlines in Korea shifted back and forth around the 38th Parallel. The 65th Infantry would continue to fight with great determination and skill against a desperate enemy. Replacements and an influx of continental Americans into the regiment slowly erased the Puerto Rican identity of the 65th Infantry. Finally, by the summer of 1953, the UN Coalition and the communist forces had exhausted themselves in bitter fighting. An Armistice was signed between the two sides, which ended the fighting on July 27, 1953.
During those three years of war in Korea, one out of every 42 US military casualties was Puerto Rican. 61,000 Puerto Ricans served in the US military during the Korean War, of which 48,000 served in the 65th Infantry; 743 Borinqueneers were killed in action, and 2,318 were wounded. The 65th Infantry was one of the most decorated units of the Korean War, participating in nine campaigns. The regiment earned a total of ten Distinguished Service Crosses, 256 Silver Stars, 606 Bronze Stars, and 2,771 Purple Hearts. The regiment was credited with the last battalion-sized bayonet charge by a US Army unit. By November, 1954, the 65th Infantry was relieved of assignment and sent back to Puerto Rico.
"El Monumento de la Recordacion" (Monument of Remembrance) was erected in front of the Capitol Building in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1996. Inscribed on the Monument of Remembrance are the names of over 1,200 Puerto Ricans who have died in service to the United States. Many of those served in the 65th Infantry. In San Juan, one of the city's main avenues, "La 65 de Infanteria," is named in honor of the Regiment. On November 30, 2012, a portion of Southern Boulevard in Bronx, New York was renamed in honor of the 65th Infantry, "La 65 de Infanteria Boulevard."
As of 2012, there has been a movement to persuade the US Congress to reward the 65th Infantry with the Congressional Gold Medal. Notable units that have been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal include the Navajo Code Talkers, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Nisei Soldiers, and the Montford Point Marines.

Don Luis Ramos of Cayey received his Bronze Star and other medals in 2012, sixty years after serving as a Borinqueneer in Korea.
Today the 65th Infantry is still an active duty regiment in the US Army based in Puerto Rico. The regiment has successfully completed multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 65th Infantry "unofficially" still carries the nickname "Borinqueneers." Since its founding, the Puerto Ricans of the 65th Infantry have held up to their motto, Honor et Fidelitas (Honor and Fidelity). Former Puerto Rican Governor Luis Munoz Marin spoke with great pride about the Borinqueneers stating; "The flag of the United States, which they followed with devotion into battle, represents their great democratic faith as citizens of the United States. The flag of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under which they proudly fought, represents in their hearts those ideals important to Puerto Rico, for their homes in the villages and hills of Puerto Rico, their pride in their traditions, and their hope that their island would assume each day a greater role as an exporter and understanding between the peoples of all countries."
"No ethnic group has greater pride in itself and its heritage than the Puerto Rican people. Nor have I encountered any that can be more dedicated and zealous in support of the democratic principles for which the United States stands. Many Puerto Ricans have fought to the death to uphold them." General William W. Harris, former Commanding Officer of the 65th Infantry Regiment

"I was standing on this very high platform, while below us there was a multitude of saints. They were acting as if they were waiting or anticipating for something to happen. I kept telling them to get ready, to get prepared for the coming of the Glory of the Lord. I kept telling them to get their lives in order, to get ready, but everyone seemed worried and concerned about stuff going on in their lives and in the world around them. They had their eyes on everything going on around them, and not on the Lord.
I became very frustrated because they were not listening to me. I noticed that there were several other men there on the big platform with me. One of them, a very tall black man, who seemed to be like my personal bodyguard, looked at me with a sad, bewildered look on his face seeing that the people were not listening to what I was telling them.
Suddenly, as he was looking in my direction he was overwhelmed in the spirit and fell prostrated on the floor. As I turned to look in the direction that he was looking at, I watched in the distance what appeared to be a very bright cloud of glory. The white blinding light of the glory cloud was almost too bright to look at. I quickly turned to the people below and shouted to them to hurry up and lift up their arms to heaven worshipping the Lord, and to get ready to be received, overwhelmed and gathered by the approaching glory cloud of God.
As I turned again and looked at the glory cloud, I noticed that it was much closer now and could now see clearly thousands of chariots and horsemen within the cloud approaching very fast. The tall black man that had been prostrated on the floor got up and seeing that the people still were not listening to me, turned to the people and said out loud with a booming voice: 'LISTEN TO THE APOSTLE.' I woke up from the vision still feeling a strong urgency in my spirit"
The glory of the Lord is about to invade planet earth. It is extremely important for God's people to stop playing religious games and get ready to be received by the coming glory and be immersed by it. This glory cloud also represents the gathering of the saints from the four corners of the earth in what is known as the rapture. I sensed urgency in the vision and the fact that many of God's people were just not ready for what was fast approaching, and were just looking at their own problems and circumstances.
The platform represents the ministry that the Lord has given me to preach and warn the multitudes of believers. The other men on the platform represent other men of God who along with me, are warning the multitudes of believers to prepare and get ready. The tall black man, that looked like my bodyguard, seemed like my guardian angel, but could also be a real person in the near future. As darkness continues to engulf planet earth, God's people need to wake up and begin to look up to Yeshua or they will be left behind when the glory cloud comes.
Exodus 16:10 "And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud."
2 Chronicles 5:14 "So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God."
Leviticus 9:6 "And Moses said: This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you."
Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you."
Ezekiel 44:4 "Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face."
Matthew 24:29-31 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."


(Note from Elsa: A few months ago, I began to experience some balance and neck pain difficulties, and I wrote to my friends Stefan and Nancy Nadzo. As always, these two pillars of light responded with love and awareness - in this instance on the topic of a health challenge. I know you will find value and insight in their comments. And when you're finished reading these two letters, don't forget to visit the Nadzos' one-of-a-kind website, THE ZOO FENCE.
Oh, no, not an inner ear infection! Agghh! Quite a few years back, Nancy suffered an inner ear viral (not bacterial) infection. At first, the symptoms were so fierce (vertigo), she could hardly stand up. Needless to say, it scared her. And, while they diminished over time, the symptoms continued for years. It was not a happy period. Actually, she wrote a book about it. "Sun Days, Moon Days" is its title. I like it very much, but shortly after we printed it (in very limited numbers) she decided to put it back in a closet.
Anyway, as you might imagine, Nancy spent a lot of that time asking, as you are, "What would You have me learn from this?" In the end, at the risk of putting words in her mouth, I think she would say it was about surrender, or unconditional release of the common human desire (stronger in some than others but present in us all) to be in clear, strict, predictable control of our lives. Somewhere along the spiritual path, each of us has got to give that up, and eventually each of us will do so, either willingly or under duress. Happily, as awful as the struggle may be at the time, the rewards we gain from losing to God are numberless and wonderful!
Speaking of illness generally, my perspective is, first, attend to the physical symptoms. So long as we accept the body's existence, we should treat it properly. However illusory the body may actually be, if it seems real to us, we must treat it as a manifestation of God, meaning with respect, love, and care. So, in these kinds of circumstances, I am inclined to figure out who would be the best practitioner (whether allopathic, homeopathic, naturapathic, chiropractic, etc. or a combination of those) to address the situation, and then take the body to them. "It seems to be broken. What have you got to fix it?"
Second, while that process is in train, we do well to remind ourselves that, there being in Truth no such thing as "a body," there is obviously no such thing as "a sick body." Therefore, the question becomes, what is going on inside my consciousness that is prompting me to manifest myself as a sick body? What am I trying to tell myself? If this were a movie, what would the point of it be?
The answers to that inquiry will vary situation by situation, person by person, but surely they will be about such things as: Slowing down. Taking time off from work. Sleeping in once in a while. Eating more wisely. Playing less recklessly. Loving my loved ones more freely, openly, and generously. Being more understanding (humble) of others' discomforts. Exploring the relationship between the physical and the spiritual. Praying more. Creating more quiet time. Facing fear head on. Considering death head on. Crying out loud to Mother. Asking these questions.
Whatever you do, Elsa, don't resist the illness. Resistance only weakens you and strengthens it. In other words, don't think of the illness as an enemy to be defeated, but rather as an expression to be understood, something you are trying to tell yourself. Then, set out to find out what that something is, and once you have, the need for the expression will be gone. "Mother, if you want me to be sick (and nothing can interfere with Your Will), then I want to be sick. But, if it's all the same to You, I'd like to get over it as quickly as possible. So, please, tell me what to do, what changes to make in my life, what to learn, whom to see, what to read, where to go, how to behave, and I promise to obey!" Cry if you can. Mother cannot resist our tears. Thank God.
Well, at least you can read, that's encouraging. I understand the anxiety the wobbliness produces - in my case, I couldn't walk for weeks without falling down, literally - so, at least it isn't THAT bad! But the fear it produced in my own case was overwhelming - I don't know if you are experiencing the same, but it is possible that the fear comes from the instability. By extension, you are feeling emotionally unstable because you feel physically unstable. Of course, the physical instability, by this theory, is an external manifestation of an internal event, an upheaval of energies that creates that instability. In other words, fear is part of the process.
I think, if they can find no physical cause for this in your own case, which of course an MRI will confirm for you, that it is possibly a kind of "kundalini" awakening. Indeed, even if they DO find a physical cause for it, that doesn't discount the kundalini process. I have studied the process deeply, during and since my own encounter, and there are certain signs that accompany this process, one of them in particular being the feeling of drunkeness, full headedness, wobblyness, vertigo, ringing of the ears.
Accompanying all of this is usually seeing lights, blobs of colors, an overwhelming sense of fragility, intense headaches, weeping, a sense of expansion, usually felt in the head, and usually, electrical sensations throughout your body and often a sensation of heat, either localized or throughout the body - kind of like menopause. (I remember reading during my own event the book by Bernadette Roberts, can't remember the title, a woman who had her own kundalini event and thought she was going nuts, and felt strange bodily sensations, including heat and energies, and attributed it to menopause.) However, each individual is unique, and some things happen to them, and some don't. Doing the spiritual work you have done sort of puts you in the position of this kind of thing happening, if it hasn't already happened. There are other signs as well, but these I've listed so far, are sort of universal.
There are a couple of books out by scientists that have studied this process that confirm the physiological expression of the process; one in particular called Kundalini: Psychosis or Transcendence by Lee Sanella was a godsend when I stumbled across it. I of course can only speak from my own personal experience and how I used the event. I initially struggled with the change that this instability brought me, as of course, we all naturally do. (I kept moaning about the fact that I couldn't do what I "normally" did.) This was, of course, a profound lesson in itself for me at that time in my life. I found in my own case that the process turned a corner when I surrendered to the instability, the helplessness, and assumed that somehow, somewhere, this was "good" for me. Indeed, in retrospect, it was transformative. If it is kundalini, the movement of energy needs to be accepted and nourished, not resisted. The resistance in fact aggravates the process.
The anxiety it produced in my own case was severe. I ended up, through the grace of one doctor, taking a very common tranquilizer in very small doses, in fact so small that it didn't really act as a tranquilizer, and so didn't fuzz up my mind, but it did reduce the dizziness to a tolerable level. At that level, I could live with the moments of anxiety better. If anxiety is part of the process in your own case, generated by the wobbliness, you might consider this. Anxiety, incidentally, is part of the kundalini process as well. You can't win!
Well, for the moment this ought to bring you some comfort? (well, maybe not!). I don't know the full extent of your emotional reaction to this nor your dreams, or other symptoms to firmly suggest that this might be your situation. If you wish to share them with me, I can give you my own considerations about them. There are numerous other signs to confirm if this is kundalini.
Of course, if it isn't, then you are home free, so to speak! They can zap you with antibiotics, and the whole thing is over and done with in due course, ideally shortly. Whatever the cause, and however it works its magic on you, as you know, you are in God's hands, and everything is perfect, even if you don't feel like it is, you know?
Disease is a strange beast; it brings us to our knees in desperation and humility, ideally to God; and yet it is ghastly and terrifying and causes enormous suffering until we do just that. But of course, without all of that, we would not come crawling on our knees to God, our source of all things, including ourselves. I still haven't totally reconciled this terrible aspect of God, but someday I intend to understand it perfectly! I think there ought to be an easier way, but who am I to question these things?! Of course, if I wasn't here to question it, there wouldn't be the question, would there? Yup! So there you are!
You are in our prayers and our thoughts, Elsa - if I can give you more insights, please just tell me. I don't want to burden you with too much, since this is enough to chew on at one time, I think. Keep us informed. Blessings, blessings and love.

The formation of the Azkals Developmental Team (ADT) had one clear mission for the management – growth over trophies.
This is the goal of the ADT, set to compete in the 2020 season of the Philippines Football League (PFL) with the management of the team main goal are the growth of the members and preparing them better in international tournaments like the 2021 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and beyond.
"We were looking at the other teams and we can see that most of their players are actually involved in the professional leagues, but at that age, most of our players are still in college," said Azkals team manager Dan Palami, who also led the ADT management told ESPN5 after observing most teenager or younger players in the Philippines are still playing in the collegiate leagues unlike in overseas leagues with most young players are now playing in the professional ranks or spending their teenage years in the professional football academies.
"That's why we wanted to explore the possibility of having a younger group of players, already being exposed to the professional club environment," the long-time national football team official added.
The formation of the ADT and participation in the 2020 PFL season was sought after the U-22 team failed to advance into the semifinals of the 2019 SEA Games. In observing what things need to be done and correct, the ADT formation hopes to address those things and improve the performance of the players especially those that are part of the U-22 in the last SEA Games.
Most importantly, the growth of the players will be seen on their stint with the ADT.
"We're joining the PFL, but we are not there to really win trophies," Palami said in the same article. "We want to develop the players. Hopefully when they're exposed to a more professional environment other than their schools they can move on to professional clubs."
Members of the ADT team are some players of the U-22 team played in the 2019 SEA Games, which includes Jarvey Gayoso, Anthony Pinthus, Edison Suerti, Christian Rontini, Chima Uzoka, Troy Limbo and Mar Vincent Diano.
Also included are several collegiate standouts and recruits in Jerome Marzan, Marcel Ouano, Lance Ocampo, Kristoffer Reyes, Oliver Corbitt, Quincy Kammeraad, Kainoa Bailey and Sandro Reyes.
Included also are unattached players or free agents led by Curt Dizon, Dean Ebarle, Marvin Angeles, Kennedy Uzoka, Matthew Custodio, Jose Yared, and Fritz Brigoli.
U-22 coach Goran Milojevic set to coach the squad.
Azkals head coach Scott Cooper is happy about the formation of the ADT, especially the country doesn't have enough professional football academies to prepare the next generation of players into their career in professional football and national team duties.
"I think this is the best idea we've had since I've been here because there aren't any really professional club academies here," Cooper said in the same ESPN5 article. "There are not that many academies and so we needed to find a way that we could identify players and try to develop them."
Unlike other professional football academies, which their graduates are expected to play for their seniors' team, Cooper said the ADT management will allow the players to play for any Philippine-based clubs or any clubs overseas after their stint with the ADT.
"[These are] players we feel that have got great potential, that can develop themselves, maybe push on to other teams here, like a Ceres or Kaya, or into the Thai League or J [Japan] League, and develop themselves in terms of a career," Cooper explained.
"Once we feel that they've developed, that they're ready to take the next step, that's it," Cooper added. "That's the difference between us and a league team, a league team is going to try to keep their best players, we're going to encourage them to move on to something bigger and better."
The ADT is one of the clubs set to compete in the upcoming PFL season together with defending champion Ceres-Negros, Kaya Iloilo, Stallion Laguna, Global FC and Mendiola FC 1991.
Due to the Philippine government declaration the enhanced community quarantine will be extended until April 30th to control the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the opening of the 2020 PFL season expected to happen in late May instead of April 18th.

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation Begins Implementation of Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement
Today the Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) filed two applications with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), taking a significant step towards implementation of an agreement to decommission four dams on the Klamath River. One application, filed jointly with PacifiCorp, asks FERC to transfer PacifiCorp's licenses to operate the four dams in California and Oregon to the KRRC. The second application asks FERC to approve dam decommissioning and removal. Under the agreement, the KRRC would oversee dam removal which, if approved, would begin in 2020. PacifiCorp will continue to operate the dams until they are decommissioned.
FERC and other regulatory agencies will conduct public hearings on the applications over the coming years. In the course of these proceedings, the public will be encouraged to participate and give comments for consideration in the final decisions.
Filing the applications with FERC is an initial milestone outlined in the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA). The KHSA, as amended in April 2016, provides the roadmap for the decommissioning and removal of four hydroelectric dams on the 373-mile Klamath River and calls for the creation of the KRRC to oversee the process. A diverse set of stakeholders have agreed to a shared vision of the future of the Klamath basin: to date, the 2016 KHSA has been signed by the United States Department of the Interior, the United States the Department of Commerce, the states of California and Oregon, the Karuk and Yurok Tribes, PacifiCorp, nine conservation and fishing groups, and other interested parties. When complete, the KRRC's efforts will result in the largest dam removal project in U.S. history.
Mike Carrier, President of the KRRC Board said: "The KRRC's FERC filings are an important step towards realizing the vision of a restored Klamath River. Today's actions bring the vast environmental benefits that will stem from dam removal closer to reality."
"The KRRC is now up and running. Through the FERC regulatory process, the KRRC will demonstrate it has the legal, financial, and technical capacity to become the licensee for four Klamath hydroelectric dams and oversee decommissioning activities," said Lester Snow, Vice President of the KRRC Board.
Sarah Kamman, Vice President and general counsel of Pacific Power, a division of PacifiCorp said: "PacifiCorp looks forward to working with the KRRC and our other settlement partners to implement this important agreement. We continue to believe the KHSA is a fair way forward and in the interest of our electricity customers."
The four PacifiCorp dams on the Klamath River produce hydroelectric power. Federal environmental agencies recommended that the dams need to be retrofitted to provide fish passage for salmon, steelhead, and other fish. The Oregon and California public utility commissions found that decommissioning the dams via the KHSA was a prudent alternative for PacifiCorp's customers.
More information and copies of the applications may be found at the KRRC's website: klamathrenewal.org.
The Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 2016 as part of the amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA). KRRC is part of a cooperative effort to re-establish the natural vitality of the Klamath River so that it can support all communities in the basin. Signatories of the amended KHSA incude the states of California and Oregon, local governments, tribal nations, dam owner PacifiCorp, irrigators, and several conservation and fishing groups. KRRC was formed for the sole purpose of taking ownership of four PacifiCorps dams — J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1 & 2, and Iron Gate – and then removing these dams, restoring formerly inundated lands, and implementing required mitigation measures in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. KRRC's work is funded by PacifiCorp customer surcharges and California Proposition 1 water bond funds.
KRRC values transparency and cooperation with all stakeholders and is committed to working with residents and governments to minimize any nuisance or negative impacts while enhancing the project's local benefits.


The fourth assignment in our profile completion contest was to "Enter the Types of Yoga You Teach" in your Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT®) profile. Many of you responded on Facebook and Twitter and chose varying strategies for tackling this assignment. We're wrapping up this week's assignment by answering some of the questions that we have received about this new feature.
Where did these types come from?
The "types" of yoga list is a new feature in our Directory, which allows both teachers and schools to select the type of yoga you teach or train in. The intention behind this list was to provide terms that someone unfamiliar to a particular brand, tradition or lineage would be able to comprehend.
Imagine that first conversation with your friend or colleague who asked, "So what kind of yoga do you teach?" Choose the list that aligns with how you'd explain your teaching to that new-to-yoga individual.
The particular types chosen were drafted by our staff, and reviewed by our Standards Committee. There was certainly some heated debate about the list, and we recognize that while it's not perfect (because who can describe the vast range of yoga practices out there in a short list?), it furthers our intention of helping the average Directory user understand what a particular RYT or Registered Yoga School (RYS®) offers.
Go broad, or pick just one?
If you select every single type on the lists, and someone searches for RYTs using type as a filter, you will appear in his/her search results, regardless of which type of yoga he/she was seeking.
Students may be more likely to reach out to the RYT whose only type is the one he/she is looking for, as that may imply more specific expertise. Sometimes, articulating a narrow, but focused list of the kind of yoga you teach, may appeal more to a potential student.
Our best advice: be authentic. The types are simply another tool to help you describe your teaching in a way that makes sense to a potential student.
What if my type isn't listed?
Include it in your bio. Anything you type in your bio is searchable by someone using the Directory. This means that if someone enters a keyword search for "prenatal" and you have "prenatal" in your bio, you will come up in his/her search results. The bio enables you to promote additional items that are outside of our standard profile features. You can also enhance your bio with additional formatting and hyperlinks to provide other information (you can even hyperlink to videos)!
Add dimension with other profile features. The types are just one tool of many on your new RYT profile. Imagine the richness of your bio when you include images of yourself teaching to certain populations, list where you teach classes, and add social media connections.
Our RYT and RYS Directory is always evolving at Yoga Alliance, so we can better support you. We welcome and appreciate your ideas and feedback.
We're so excited to see how our RYTs engage with the new profile features. Use the tips and tricks we've pulled together over the last few weeks (check out the related articles below) to make your RYT profile shine.

Men are almost twice as likely to die from cancer as women, says a new study of cancer deaths from 1977 to 2006 from the National Cancer Institute.
An that's largely not because cancer is more fatal for guys (though it is, slightly). Rather, more men are more likely to develop cancer in the first place, explains study co-author Michael B. Cook, Ph.D.
Here's another way to keep cancer from killing you: Visit your M.D. Catching cancer early usually means it's less deadly, yet 55 percent of U.S. men haven't seen their doctor in the past year, finds a survey from the American Academy of Family Physicians. And make sure you tell him about any family members—even second-degree relatives—recently diagnosed. A recent study found that your family history can change enough between ages 30 to 50 to make you need earlier or more frequent tests.

In the summer of 2012, between Travis Trice's freshman and sophomore season at MSU, an unexplained and serious illness hit the Spartans' point guard and left doctors puzzled. Now the guard leads his Michigan State into the Final Four against Duke.
The Big Ten office handed out the season's first Big Ten honors on Monday, and Michigan State's Travis Trice took home Big Ten Player of the Week.
Michigan State freshman Travis Trice knows a golden opportunity when he sees one. In Saturday night's game against Bowling Green at the Breslin Center, Trice proved exactly that when 5-foot-6 BGSU guard Jordon Crawford appeared to have an easy breakaway layup. Trice, of course, had other ideas. He trailed Crawford, closed the gap at the last second and emphatically swatted the would-be layup from behind. To make the play even better, BGSU grabbed the rebound, only to have the ensuing putback blocked by Brandon Wood. Typical Tom Izzo defense. Watch the block now. Track the Bowling Green-Michigan State game.

Home Business To fight off unemployment, Iraqi youth plant start-up seeds
To fight off unemployment, Iraqi youth plant start-up seeds
Stuck between an endless waitlist for a government job and a frail private sector, Iraqi entrepreneurs are taking on staggering unemployment by establishing their own start-ups.
The first murmurs of this creative spirit were felt in 2013, but the Islamic State group's sweep across a third of the country the following year put many projects on hold.
Now, with IS defeated, co-working spaces and incubators are flourishing in a country whose unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent but whose public sector is too bloated to hire.
Many self-starters begin their journey at an aptly named glass building in central Baghdad: The Station.
There, they sip on coffee, peruse floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for ideas and grab a seat at clusters of desks where other stylish Iraqis click away at their laptops.
"We're trying to create a new generation with a different state of mind," said executive director Haidar Hamzoz.
"We want to tell youth that they can start their own project, achieve their dreams and not just be happy in a government job they didn't even want," he told AFP.
Youth make up around 60 percent of Iraq's nearly 40 million people.
After graduating from university, many spend years waiting to be appointed to a job in the government, Iraq's biggest employer.
Four out of five jobs created in Iraq in recent years are in the public sector, according to the World Bank.
And in its 2019 budget, the government proposed $52 billion in salaries, pensions, and social security for its workers — a 15 percent jump from 2018 and more than half the total budget. But with graduates entering the workforce faster than jobs are created, many still wait indefinitely for work.
Among youth, 17 percent of men and a whopping 27 percent of women are unemployed, the World Bank says.
After IS, innovation reigns
When IS declared Mosul its seat of power in Iraq back in 2014, resident Saleh Mahmud was forced to shutter the city's incubator for would-be entrepreneurs.
With Mosul now cautiously rebuilding after the jihadists were ousted in 2017, Mahmud is back in business.
"Around 600-700 youth have already passed by Mosul Space" to attend a seminar or seek out resources as they start their own ventures, said the 23-year-old.
He was inspired after watching fellow Mosul University graduates hopelessly "try to hunt down a connection to get a job in the public sphere." "A university education isn't something that gets you a fulfilling job," he said.
Another start-up, Dakkakena, is capitalising on Mosul's rebuilding spirit, too.
The online shopping service delivers a lorry-full of home goods every day to at least a dozen families refurnishing after the war.
"On the web, we can sell things for cheaper than stores because we have fewer costs, like no showrooms," said founder Yussef al-Noaime, 27.
Noaime fled IS to the Netherlands, where he was introduced to e-commerce. When he returned home, the computer engineer partnered with another local to found their venture.
A similar service, Miswag, was set-up in the capital Baghdad in 2014 and last year reported hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits.
Banks and big dreams
On an autumn day, some 70 young Iraqi innovators converged for a three-day workshop in Baghdad on founding start-ups.
They flitted among round tables planning projects, their Arabic conversations sprinkled with English terms.
"What we're doing is showing youth what entrepreneurship is — not necessarily so they succeed, but so they at least try," said organiser Ibrahim al-Zarari.
He said attendees should understand two things: first, that the public sector is saturated. And second, that oil isn't the only resource on which Iraq — OPEC's second-largest producer — should capitalise.
More than 65 percent of Iraq's GDP and nearly 90 percent of state revenues hail from the oil sector. Many youth turn to it for work, but it only employs one percent of the workforce.

A disabled heir
What would happen if an heir to the throne were born with a severe disability, or a syndrome such as Down's? I know that in the distant past, the heir was the heir no matter what, as in the case of Charles II of Spain, but what about now? What would they do? Would a law be quietly passed to change the succession, or would appearances be kept up despite undeniable ill health or infirmity?

Humongous Member
Re: A disabled heir
That's a big question.
If a child were born unable to carry out the role of Monarch, I think sense would prevail and the next in line would take precedence. I don't know what the law says.
To complicate the issue .. What if an heir were to develop an ailment later in life that rendered them incapable of working? A major accident or dementia?
Would their brother or sister take their place, or their own infant child?
Which brings me to a final question .. What if an heir were born with a major disability, unable to take up the top position but later in their life they had a child. Would that child of the disabled heir have any rights in the line of succession?
Consideration would have to be given to any discrimination due to a handicap.
The disabled heir would have to be properly diagnosed and assessed as to being unable to take on the role of Monarch. That would be a tricky situation. I wonder what the law dictates??
BessieWallis Warfield
I suppose it would depend upon the nature and severity of the disability and the powers and duties of the monarch of that particular nation. If the monarch has duties and powers, it would not be fair to either the people or to the heir to impose such expectations on him/her. I'd assume that in such a case, this heir would by bypassed.
divinemiss
Surely there would only be an issue if the condition hindered the individual from carrying out their obligations?

I agree with Bessie. This is part of the reasoning behind the "heir and a spare" practice among the royals. There are heirs to the throne ie: Victoria with diagnosed learning disabilities but this does not hinder her ability to become the future monarch. On the other hand the French pretender aka Count of Paris has a severely disabled eldest son and daughter. The eldest son retains the title of the heir, but his younger brother carries out any duties on behalf of his father.
Life's hard being fabulous
In Britain the law is clear. If a monarch is unwell and unable to carry out his/her duties a Regency takes place. Usually the next in line.
If a disabled king/queen had a child then that child would be the heir/heiress regardless.
It would take an Act of Parliament to change the position
Advice to my Brother on his wedding day
Never say
I know you do
I've had better
Did you say something
I don't like the idea of a regency - it's simply not fair that the younger sibling does all of the work and gets none of the credit as monarch. I say this as the mother of a disabled older son and a functioning younger one. I would want my younger one to inherit the throne and my older one to live his life as he can. It's hard enough to be the sibling of a disabled child, why shouldn't they get the glory for the work.
They do get the glory. For a regency to be in place the disabled monarch would be living in retirement. So a regent is a king in all but name.
I imagine that is an heir was disabled enough then parliament would allow him/her to be passed by. It would be considered kinder to let him/her have the best that life could offer without further strains.
I know he wasn't the heir but Prince John lived quietly at Wood Farm and only visited Sandringham when his parents were in residence. Except for once a week when he would visit his grandmother Queen Alexandra.
Jonathan's right. Remember King George III? He was deemed to be insane and his son was named regent and acted on his father's behalf for many years. The poor old regent (later to be George IV) wasn't very popular. He was known as "Prinny" and was widely derided for being fat, stupid, and a spendthrift. And isn't he the one who hated his wife and wouldn't let her attend his coronation? Locked the doors of Westminster Abbey so she couldn't get in. Too bad that was so long ago...there must have been TONS of opportunities for snarking about those two.

Mmmm... sorry, guys, I still think that if you are acting as king/queen, you deserve the title. You deserve the "your majesty." Otherwise, to me, you are not getting the glory.
This is why I also think that as Queen Elizabeth turns over more and more roles to Charles there will come a point where he deserves the title of king.
JMHO.
A disabled heir helped bring down the Russian Imperial Family.
"Some of it's magic, and some of it's tragic: but I had a good life, all the way." - Jimmy Buffet, America's premiere poet
I think the most interesting of this dilemma is the grey area, the borderline cases:
We probably all agree that were a child born with a severe handicap he or she would be side passed in order to give him/her the privacy and discretion the condition requires and to provide the nation with a sound representative figure head and first family.
But what happens with those cases that aren`t entirely obvious?
Perhaps a not quite so severe Autism or Aspergers, one that isn`t obvious? Yet debilitating since the patient can`t of course function like people expect him, fall short and thus will be judged unfairly and unjustified.
Basically either the disability is so obvious to everyone, that measures are being taken or the decision is up to the person himself when he reaches his/ her majority and can step up to the task or step back for someone else.
Mary's life motto:
"if I had the choice between world peace and a Prada handbag, I'd choose the latter one" Marian Keyes.
the french royal family has such a case. the oldest son of the current count of paris is mentally handicaped (iirc he lives in an institution). he is officially the heir and would, if the count of paris were king, be the next in line to the throne with his brother (the next in line) acting as regent.

NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES THAT ACCEPT IJMB FOR POLITICAL SCIENCE INTO 200 LEVEL.
NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES THAT ACCEPT IJMB FOR ACCOUNTING INTO 200 LEVEL.
Gain admission into 200 level in any university in Nigeria. Read detailed guidelines below.
Today, I have finally decided to publish an article on How to gain admission into two hundred level in Nigeria.
We shall be looking at the legal way to secure admission into 200 level of any Nigerian university of your choice with ease. Yea! Lets go!.
One thing that so many Nigerians don't know concerning UNIVERSITY admission is that it is not until you write JAMB UTME that you can gain admission, there is another approved and popular way to gain admission into any university of your choice in Nigeria without JAMB and that is what I am writing about today.
Going straight to the point, I know most of you might have heard about it before, have people that have gone through it before, but still don't believe it and for people who have never heard that they can gain admission into university in Nigeria without JAMB, just take your time and read through.
HOW CAN I GAIN ADMISSION INTO 200 LEVEL OF UNIVERSITY WITHOUT JAMB?
there are diverse ways of gaining admission into 200 level in any Nigerian university but I will be discussing one of the easiest and best ways with you here today. It is through IJMB.
Yes, one of the ways to gain admission into 200 level of any university in Nigeria is through IJMB advanced level programme.
IJMB means Interim Joint Matriculation Board. Just like JAMB, this board established and moderates IJMB advanced level programme. I wont be able to discuss much about IJMB history here, but for everyone who is getting to know about IJMB for the first time, please ( Read details about IJMB HERE).
The IJMB programme is a 9-month advanced level programme that allows every qualified candidate to gain admission to study their desired course in any Nigerian university of his/her choice. IJMB is certified by the Nigerian University Commission (NUC) as an advanced level programme for Direct Entry (DE) admission into any university in Nigeria and this makes the IJMBE acceptable in both Federal, State and Private universities in Nigeria.
If you register for IJMB now, you will be offered automatic admission (Read Do I write entrance examination for IJMB?) to study for now months in any of our approved IJMB centers closer to you or based on your choice while filling out your IJMB Application form.
Once you have been offered IJMB Admission, you are required to resume within the stipulated period stated on your IJMB admission letter and other IJMB Academic documents in your portal.
Once you resume for your IJMB programme, you are expected to obtain your copy of lecture timetable. IJMB lectures are done Mondays – Fridays ( Tutorials on weekends).
The nine months of studying for IJMBE automatically covers your 100 level in any university as you will be exposed to intensive lectures in accordance to the course you plan to study in the university. For example, someone who wants to study Medicine and Surgery in the university will offer Physic, Chemistry and Biology in IJMB all through the nine months.
The nine months of studying for IJMB is divided into 2 semesters of 3 months each just like regular university calendar. You will be made to do tests, exams and others to grade your performances at the end of each semester.
Once you are done with the nine month of studying for IJMB, you will than write your IJMB final exam.
The IJMB Exam is based on all the lectures you have been taken all through the nine months of studying and there wont be problem of passing this exam because your attendance in class, moral conduct carries 30% of your IJMB Marks while the final exam is 70%. so getting 30 over 7o at the final exam will mean that you have 30 + 30( CA marks) which equals 60% of your final exam and with this score, you wont have anything less than a "B" which is a good grade.
JAMB requires that you submit your DE printouts and also photocopies of your IJMB Certificate, Oleve results and other academic documents for processing.
Once you are done, the next step is to wait for the admission update from the institution you have applied to.
Universities do not conduct entrance exam for DE students anymore, just obtain their admission form and pray for success.
What you should have in mind is that being a direct entry candidate, you have higher chance of gaining admission into the university than JAMBites due to the massive numbers of JAMBites every year.
So, what are you waiting for? Apply for IJMB with EducoreNigeria.com today and make your academic dream come alive.
Beware of scammers who pose as IJMB official websites online. IJMB as at now has no official website online.
We are pleased to have you aboard soon!. You can call us for any assistance on registering for IJMB and other academics questions 08166616847 or mail educorenigeria@gmail.com.

Portable X-ray Fluorescence and Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Studies of Cadmium Yellow Alteration in Paintings by Edward Munch and Henri matisse in Oslo, Copenhagen, and San Francisco

SMK Statens Museum for Kunst
The identification of altered cadmium yellow paints in early modernist works is critical to their stabilization and to the long-term preservation of the paintings in which they occur. The identification of incipient photoalteration of these pigments, before there is visual evidence of their chemical degradation, is of particular concern. The alteration of these pigments causes chalking, flaking, fading, and darkening of the yellow paints, leading to irreversible changes in the physical and chemical structure of the paint layer and dramatically altering the appearance of the work. Standoff methods for the identification of this phenomenon are desired to rapidly and efficiently survey the condition of the pigment across an entire work and also to minimize invasive and destructive
analyses wherever possible. Such methods are a particular need for collections with large holdings of Impressionist and early modernist works from the 1880s to the 1920s, for which these cadmium yellow alterations are particularly problematic and a rapid surveying method for the collection is needed. To address this challenge, four standoff methods were attempted (both alone
and in concert): ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence, ultraviolet-induced infrared fluorescence, multispectral imaging, and X-ray fluorescence. Questions addressed included the following: Is the imaging method being tested comprehensive? Is it efficient at surveying an entire painting? Does it reveal the state of preservation of the pigment? Does it reliably discriminate among intact versus altered cadmium yellow pigments? To answer these questions, the methods were tested on Henri Matisse's Le Bonheur de vivre (1905–1906, the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia) and oil sketches for this work in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen. They were also tested on Edvard Munch's The Scream (ca. 1910?, Munch Museum, Oslo). It was found that ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence has the best ability to discriminate between altered and unaltered cadmium yellow paints (even before alteration is visible to the unaided eye), whereas multispectral imaging allows for the most efficient and comprehensive localization of the cadmium pigments in a work.

An essential part of developing effective behavior interventions to treat problem behavior is identifying when, where and why of behavior. This webinar will provide students with a basic framework that can be used to conduct simple, yet effective Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs). FBA is a procedure used to collect valuable information to identify root causes of problem behavior, a critical element to developing effective Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs).
This 1 ½ hour course is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge, a prerequisite for our new series, Practical and Hands-on Approach to Conducting Effective Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs).
To enhance the learning experience, this training will incorporate real case studies and include practical tools and resource materials.
