Valom (Gronings: De Valom) is een buurtschap in de Groningse gemeente Het Hogeland, gelegen in de Uithuizerpolder ten noorden van Uithuizen en Uithuizermeeden. De buurtschap bestaat uit een rij boerderijen die vrijwel allemaal aan de noordkant van de weg liggen. De landerijen die bij die boerderijen horen strekken zich uit tot aan de zeedijk. Het zijn daardoor smalle, maar zeer lange kavels.

Valom is samen met het oostelijker gelegen Heuvelderij onofficieel de noordelijkste plaats van het vasteland van Nederland. De Y-coördinaat van Valom is 607,3 km. Omdat Valom en Heuvelderij officieel niet de status van dorp hebben, geldt het iets zuidelijker gelegen Oudeschip, dat die status wel heeft, als de noordelijkste plaats van het vasteland van Nederland.

Geschiedenis
In 1827 ontstond door de aanleg van de Noorderdijk de Uithuizerpolder. Ten zuiden van deze dijk verrees de langgerekte buurtschap. In 1876 werd de Eemspolder ten noorden ervan bedijkt en in 1944 de Emmapolder ten noorden daarvan. Volgens overlevering verwijst de naam Valom naar drie huizen in aanbouw die tijdens de stormvloed van 1877 (zie ook Westpolder) 'omvielen'. De buurtschap werd daarop hiernaar vernoemd, later ook officieel.

In de loop der tijd breidde de kleine gemeenschap zich steeds verder uit. Naast boerenarbeiders kwamen er ook kleine middenstanders te wonen. In 1886 werd de bakkerij met de achtkante koren- en pelmolen De Zwaluw van Hendrik Boddé geopend, waarvan het materiaal voor de achtkant afkomstig was van de afgebroken watermolen uit het Friese Terwispel. Tussen 1907 en 1942 had Klaas Sikkema de molen, die op den duur naast molenaar en bakker ook kruidenier, caféhouder, handelaar in veevoeders, veehouder en varkensmester was, evenals zijn opvolger Jacob Start. Nadat verschillende roeden waren versleten draaide de molen vanaf 1943 nog maar met een roede. In 1950 werd de molen gesloopt door de zonen van Klaas Sikkema. Alleen het molenaarshuis resteert.

Na de totstandkoming van de Emmapolder in 1944 werd door de Provinciale Planologische Dienst in 1950 geadviseerd om Valom uit te breiden met tot 100 woningen om er naar schatting 600 mensen te kunnen huisvesten om de polder te bevolken.<ref>Schroor, M. (2009), Het Hoogeland. Hart van de Ommelanden. p. 86.</ref> Door de enorme uitstoot van arbeidskrachten uit de landbouw in die tijd bleek deze planning echter al snel achterhaald en de huizen werden dan ook niet gebouwd.

Hull Crown Court
Lonely woman conned out of thousands of pounds by fake serviceman she met online
Cheryl Scruton was sentenced at Hull Crown Court
'VICTIM AND PARTICIPANT': Cheryl Scruton (Image: Simon Bristow)
A lonely woman conned out of thousands of pounds after falling for a bogus serviceman on a dating website still thinks he is real.
Cheryl Scruton, 60, may have earned just £29 from illegally transferring tens of thousands of pounds out of the UK, often to Nigeria, Hull Crown Court heard.
She was one of "a number of women" who were defrauded in a similar way between August and September 2017 after using a dating website.
They had all fallen for profiles of men purporting to be in the military or working abroad, and often had "exciting sounding ranks or job duties".
"This is a MO [modus operandi] far from unheard of in this court," Judge Paul Watson QC, Honorary Recorder of Hull and the East Riding, told prosecutor Adam Walker.
WATCH: Who was jailed last month
The "men" began requesting small amounts of money, which developed into requests for "thousands and thousands of pounds", some of which were paid through Scruton's bank account.
Suspicion fell on Scruton and when she was interviewed by police she admitted being in contact through a dating website with a man called "Steven Hamilton", who was described as an "officer in the US military".
The latest cases in the courts
16 thugs kick and punch disabled man
Mum-of-five smuggled drugs into jail
My boyfriend is big softy at heart
Burglar disturbed by screaming woman
Scruton was "vague" about the origin of the money being transferred through her account, but also said she had her own suspicions about it.
Mr Walker said in one instance a payment had been made to Nigeria which was just £29 short of the payment she received. "She was not able to account for that," Mr Walker said. He said Scruton was "both a victim of the fraud and a participant in it".
Grieving family fined £200 when funeral overruns by SECONDS
Her family had complained to police that she was being taken advantage of and needed help.
Scruton, of High Street, East Cowick, admitted transferring £26,688 of criminal property between August 24 and September 13, 2017.
Cyclist told he is permanently blind after crash with couple who fled the scene
Rodney Ferm, mitigating, told the court: "She shut her eyes to what was going on. She still seems to believe at times that there is a Steve Hamilton out there, that he's a real person and that he wants to be in touch with her. But he wouldn't be interested in her because she's absolutely penniless now."
Mr Ferm said had received £32,000 as her final divorce settlement, and had previously received £20,000. She had then immediately sent £5,000 to Nigeria.

Scruton was now living on benefits of £127.40 a week and had been "rehoused" in a council property, the court heard.
Sentencing her to a conditional discharge for 12 months, the judge told her: "I have no intention of imposing a custodial sentence, either immediate or suspended. If anything, you are in need of help."

'Something in the Game' has Equity cast for new musical about Knute Rockne
By KT Hawbaker
Stef Tovar as Knute Rockne with the male ensemble in the originating 2008 production of "Knute Rockne, All American," which has been updated for 2018. (Theatre at the Center)
On Friday, the American Music Theatre Project and the Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts at Northwestern University announced the equity cast for their upcoming production of "Something in the Game: An All-American Musical," inspired by the life of Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne.
Directed and choreographed by David H. Bell with book by Buddy Farmer, Stef Tovar, Adrian Aguilar, Dara Cameron, Rashada Dawan, James Earl Jones II, James Rank and Brandon Springman will lead a cast of 24 professional and student performers.
The musical traces legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne's as he discovers what is most important in the "game of life" as he took his team through five undefeated seasons.
The project originated at Munster, Indiana's Theatre at the Center in 2008, earning Jeff Nominations and a glowing review from Tribune critic Chris Jones. Since then, Farmer, Bell and Mahler have developed the piece, adding new songs and reshaping the story.
The production will run July 20 through Aug. 5 at the Josephine Louis Theater, 20 Arts Circle Drive, on the Northwestern Evanston campus.

Surayia Rahman, a self-taught painter and textile artist from Bangladesh, visited Toronto and the Textile Museum of Canada in 2003. Impressed by its extensive collection of South Asian textiles, she designed this tapestry specifically for the Museum's collection.
The artwork is a contemporary interpretation of an indigenous East Bengali tradition (nakshi kantha) of making quilts from old family garments and recycled threads that, beautifully embroidered and decorated with folk motifs, convey timeless stories and legends interpreted in recognizable and appealing images. Drawing from her memories when she was young in Calcutta during the colonial days of the British Raj, Rahman depicts typical scenes during the reign of George V (1910–1936), when British rule in India reached its height and British officials enjoyed extraordinary power and grandeur. Georgian Times includes scenes of a river cruise of a rajah and his British guests, an evening ride by a British couple in a horse-drawn carriage, a postman collecting letters, a rajah holding court, a police station, a tax office, and depictions of other places and events of everyday life designed and stitched with great mastery and precision.
The artist's involvement with textiles started late in her life when, looking for income to support her family after her husband's death, she joined a project to train underprivileged women to embroider at a centre in Dhaka. There she developed her own style, which brought traditional household embroidery craft to an art form highly appreciated in Bangladesh and abroad. In 1986, her creative and mentoring experience culminated in the creation of Arshi (Bengali for "mirror"), a cooperative that employs destitute women to embroider textiles based on her designs, featuring stories based on Bengali legends, poetry, and folklore that today are in museums in India and around the world.


We learned about mushroom safety, identification basics,habitats and ethical harvesting. There has been no evidence of a reaction from skin contact when dealing with mushrooms. There have been cases of people getting sick from poisoned mushrooms, so don't eat the poisoned ones! 🙂 When harvesting mushrooms be sure to take the ones on the ground or on dying tree branches. You can harvest fungi from trees but not lichen because you would ruin their ecosystem.
Mushroom identification is a learned process, Alissa provided us with a brochure with colored pictures to help assist us with proper identification. She recommended joining Facebook groups such as the Mushroom Dyers Trading Post and visiting her website for more information.
Next up! Dyeing the mushrooms! We helped chopped up different mushrooms and lichen for the jars full of water.
You can now lower or raise the PH levels to cause different color variations, but not too high! Alissa also discussed how to use mordants in the dyeing process.
We were given some recipe cards and handouts for our future fungi dyeing experiments.
We were also able to dye some beautiful silk scarves to take home with us.
If you want to learn further information on mushroom dyeing, I would suggest taking one of Alissa's very unique seminars!
Special thanks to Julie Saalsaa and her husband for opening up their farm for us!

50 States in 50 Days Election Preview: 43. Idaho
October 29, 2012 ~ John Lally
In the 50 days leading up to the election on November 6th, I will be doing a profile of the 50 states and previewing what is on the ballot and how they are likely to vote. All of the posts so far can be found here
Nickname: Gem State
Motto: Esto Perpetua
(Let It Be Perpetual)
About the State
Prior to the arrival of European settlers, Idaho was home to Native American tribes including the Nez Perce and Western Shoshone. It was the last of the continental United States to be explored by people from the Old World, with the Lewis and Clark expedition entering the region in 1805. As with many of the states around it, the majority of the early pioneers in the area were fur traders, though they did not establish any permanent settlements in Idaho. Like Washington, it was originally part of Oregon Country, which the United States and Britain agreed to joint occupancy of in the Treaty of 1818 that had ended the War of 1812, but by 1846 this had been rescinded and the 49th Parallel was used as the border between the two territories (now the boundary between Canada and the US).
Idaho was initially organised in the Oregon Territory but there was little settlement in the region, with people passing through Idaho en route to California after the discovery of gold there in 1849, or as they traversed the Oregon Trail. In 1860, the mineral was discovered at Pierce – the first of several gold rushes in Idaho – and that increased migration to the region. For the period of 1860 to 1866, Idaho produced 19% of all the gold in the United States. After Oregon had become a state in 1859, Idaho was split between the Washington and Dakota Territories, before President Lincoln created the Idaho Territory in 1863 – at the time including parts of Montana and Wyoming, but by 1868 it had been reduced to its current size.
Settlers from different backgrounds arrived in Idaho during this time: Mormons established the first town there, Franklin, in 1860, thinking they were still in the Utah Territory and unaware that they had crossed the border; many Irish people, who left their homeland during the Potato Famine, headed to North America, with many ultimately settling in Idaho due to its favourable conditions for agricultural development; Basque people moved to the state in search of opportunity; and much of the current population can trace their heritage back to German and English immigrants to the area in the late 19th and early 20th century. By 1890, the number of residents had increased to nearly 90,000 and, on July 3rd of that year, Idaho became the 43rd state of the Union.
Idaho is the 14th largest state in the US and its more than 1.5 million residents rank it 39th in terms of population. The biggest sector in its economy is science and technology, which accounts for roughly one-quarter of the state's total revenue. Most notably, Micron Technology – the only manufacturer of Dynamic Random Access Memory chips in the nation – is based in Boise; and ON Semiconductor, a major innovator in that field, is headquartered in Pocatello. Agriculture remains a major industry for Idaho, with it most famous output being potatoes, of which it produces one-third of the nation's total each year. There is some tourism in the state, with Shoshone Falls – dubbed the Niagara of the West – and ski resorts like Sun Valley being the most popular destinations. In 1925, the entire town of American Falls was relocated to allow for the construction of a dam.
Electoral College Votes: 4
2008 Result: McCain 61.5% Obama 36.1%
Latest Poll: Romney +36%
Idaho has been won by the Republican candidate in each of the last 11 Presidential election and, given Governor Romney has his largest lead in the polls there, that streak will continue this November.
Also on the Ballot
Congress: There is little of interest in the Congressional elections in Idaho this November. No Senate seats are being contested, while the two incumbent Representatives in the House – both of whom are Republicans – are strongly favor to win another term.

Obama: It would take Iran over a year to develop nuke
US President Barack Obama said that it would take Iran "over a year or so" to develop a nuclear weapon, but added, "We don\'t want to cut it that close."
Speaking in an interview with Channel 2 aired Thursday, Obama reiterated the suggestion that a US military strike on Iran\'s nuclear facilities was a possibility.
"When I say all options are on the table, all options are on the table and the US has significant capabilities. Our goal is that Iran will not have weapons that threaten Israel or lead to an arms race in the region," Obama stated.
According to Channel 2, Obama also addressed calls for him to grant clemency to jailed Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard. "I will not free Pollard," Channel 2 quoted Obama as saying.
The US president, set to arrive in Israel for his first visit as US president on Wednesday March 20, said that he fantasized about roaming the streets of Tel Aviv in disguise.
"I\'d love to sit at a cafe and just hangout, wear a mustache, wander through Tel Aviv, meet with students at a university in an informal setting."

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. In it, a Jewish traveler is beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by.
Samaritans and Jews generally despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured Jew. Jesus tells the parable in response to the question of who one's "neighbor" is.
The colloquial phrase "good Samaritan," meaning someone who helps a stranger, derives from this parable.
The Samaritan did everything he can, except he did not reveal his name to the inn keeper. Smart indeed, otherwise he could have been summoned for giving witness and could have suffered from all the harassment of the law keepers of the time.
"Whom so ever it may concern".
I was pondering on this story while I was sitting waiting to be called and to be cross examined by the lawyers in a civil court recently. The reason I was called is for giving a medical certificate by my good Samaritan registrar, for a patient who sustained injury some 8 years ago. The civil case was of a road traffic accident, the injured person trying to get compensation from the insurance company. The entire process of grilling by the lawyers went on for nearly 45 mnts. I must say the Judge was sympathetic to me.
The judge indirectly hinted me not to give certificates like this so blindly in the future- "Whom so ever it may concern". It was a lesson learned in a hard away.
TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN.
Normally when you want a letter of reference or recommendation or a conduct certificate or a certificate of experience which can be used to be presented to any body at a later date and where you are not addressing to any particular firm or person or organization such an open form of certificate is obtained. This is an open letter or certificate of statement.
This is like giving some one an uncrossed blind cash cheque. It can be a boomerang.
Why are most people in India unwilling to help road accident victims?
We read in daily news paper and see pictures of people standing at the site of accident and doing nothing, as onlookers. While the victim is lying smashed in the road and crying for help. All stand still as witness to heartless incident.
One cannot blame these onlookers, for not doing the duty of a citizen, once they had experience of answering many questions and at times harassment of the police and keepers of the law.
The main reason of people in India don\'t stop to help accident victims is the way our medico-legal framework is structured, it leads to unnecessary and prolonged engagement of people stopping to help. You will be summoned to give evidence, appear in some court of law, may be after so many years and may be at a court in a distant place.
Things are beginning to change but not at the pace that they should. Most people are still not aware of India's Supreme Court rulings that clearly state a person who brings a victim to a hospital cannot be detained for questioning. The person's responsibility ends the moment he brings the victim to a hospital.
Unless we begin to practice these rights, and make others aware about this, things will either not change or change only at a very slow pace.
It is not that people are unwilling to help the accident victim, but they don\'t because they feared harassment from the police and the law.
Time for introspection of all those concerned.

Leading rural insurer NFU Mutual is offering financial support to four students starting undergraduate courses in agriculture in autumn 2018. The bursaries will provide £3,000 per student to help with tuition or living costs for the duration of their studies.
NFU Mutual, which provides insurance for 75% of the UK's farmers, will also support the successful students with work experience, networking and assistance with course projects.
NFU Mutual's Charlie Yorke, who co-ordinates the award scheme, said: "We're an insurer with over a century's experience protecting the countryside. As part of our support for the farming community we want to help encourage students who have the potential to become agriculture's future leaders.
"In recent years, affordable education for young people and their ability to play a greater role in agricultural businesses have emerged as large concerns for farming families. The award aims to make a positive contribution in this area.
Stefan Marks, a BSc Agriculture student at Reading University, originally from Cornwall, is currently in the third year of the scheme, having been awarded NFU Mutual's Undergraduate Bursary in 2016.
Stefan explained: "Having grown up on the family farm, I've always had an interest in agriculture, particularly looking at the way technology and science can ensure sustainable and efficient farming systems.
"The bursary money has enabled me to have some financial security and has allowed me to invest in travel to different enterprises to thereby broaden my understanding of the industry and diverse farming systems. It has also been valuable in ensuring I have textbooks and other resources to aid my studies.
Stefan added: "I'd really encourage anyone interested in agriculture to apply for the bursary. It gave me confidence in my studies knowing that someone thought I had potential and my interests were relevant. This really encouraged me to make the most of my course and the opportunities it offers.
William Harvey is also studying for a BSc in Agriculture at Reading University. Going into his second year in September 2018, he was also selected for NFU Mutual's Undergraduate Bursary Scheme.
"I come from a dairy farm near Newton Abbot in Devon and so have always had a passion for the industry. I'm studying a broad spectrum of agriculture and currently deciding what I want to specialise in for my final year," William explained.
The closing date for applications is 31 October 2018. For more information visit: www.nfumutual.co.uk/undergrad.


When it comes to plastic, we all know there is no one-card-fits-all. So FIRST polled finance pros to pinpoint the perfect card to fit your spending habits.
The number of credit cards on the market is dizzying. But choosing a card that meets your needs can lead to big payoffs. "I absolutely know from personal experience that choosing the right card can net you unbelievable rewards and save you hundreds of dollars a year, which can add up to thousands over a couple of years," says Catey Hill, author of The 30-Minute Money Plan for Moms ($10.87, Amazon). "But most people don't even know the benefits of certain cards — even cards they already have."
The good news: If you're looking for a new card, you can narrow down your choices by answering a few simple questions. Just start at the top of the chart shown below and choose your charging style to discover the card that will help you save money and reap great perks.
Regardless of which type of credit card you choose, there's one pesky issue that will always pop up: credit card fees. Keep reading for more tips on how to keep those fees from causing you to go broke.
Late Charges: Whether you miss a payment because you forgot or because the due date changed (a common occurrence), call and ask for the fee to be reversed. In a CreditsCards.com survey, 87 percent of people who did so were successful.
Annual Fees: If your card has an annual fee and your account is in good standing, call and ask for a refund. In the same CreditCards.com survey, 82 percent of cardholders who tried this got the annual fee waived or reduced.
Paper Billing Charge: If you're among the 54 percent of people who receive paper statements, you may see a "paper billing" fee each month in the "account summary" section. Eliminating the charge is as easy as switching to online billing.

Alaska president seeks cuts 'glide path', not 'crash landing'
While fighting huge state funding cut, James Johnsen concedes overcapacity and low interest
Paul Basken
Twitter: @pbasken
State spending on higher education has been in short supply in the US for some time now, but the scale of the cuts proposed to the University of Alaska – 41 per cent in a single year – still provoked shock.
James Johnsen, the system's president, told Times Higher Education that the $135 million (£107 million) saving was far more than his 16 campuses could absorb. But he conceded that the university was significantly larger than Alaska's current population justified and that some spending reduction might therefore be warranted.
"I think there's an argument for a gradual glide path of several years, something that is manageable by us, as opposed to a crash landing," Dr Johnsen said.
Dr Johnsen said he and his staff had been offering such ideas to Alaska's governor, Michael Dunleavy, but had received no response for a month when Mr Dunleavy announced the 41 per cent cut last week.
The stunning magnitude of the funding reduction and the resulting talk of closing multiple campuses in Alaska has alarmed university leaders nationwide.
The Alaska situation, however, is unique in some key aspects that perhaps make the governor's action less dire – and the overall situation less of a national bellwether – than it might initially seem to some outside the state.
First, Alaska is among a small group of states – including Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas – whose economies and government budgets are highly reliant on revenue from oil and other natural resources whose values can fluctuate wildly.
"We live this," said Mark Hagerott, chancellor of the North Dakota University System, whose state support was cut by almost 20 per cent in 2017 when oil prices plummeted from almost $100 a barrel to $25.
Second, as Dr Johnsen acknowledged, Alaska might not need as many higher education institutions as it has because it has long had one of the nation's lowest rates of college attendance.
The Alaska university system simply had too much capacity, Dr Johnsen admitted, and regular and steady annual cuts might be appropriate.
"I don't have a specific number" to suggest, he said, "but I do think that a $10 million reduction each year, while not comfortable, is something that can be managed."
That, however, is not an immediate option. The Alaskan legislature was due to meet, with the only alternative being to override the governor's decision to cut the $135 million taken from the universities.
Such an override would require agreement by 45 members of the 60-seat state legislature. The outcome appeared close, with about five or six of Mr Dunleavy's fellow Republicans seen as key undecided votes.
If an override is granted, thus restoring amounts originally approved by lawmakers, the university system would lose only $5 million of its current $327 million state appropriation. Considering all sources, including tuition fees, the university system currently spends just short of $900 million a year on its 17,500 students.
Much of the current crisis stems from the Alaska Permanent Fund, which since 1982 has been handing state residents an annual dividend from oil-related revenues. The fund's per capita payment had been about $2,000 per year, but it shrank in recent years, largely because of declining oil revenues and poor stock investments. Mr Dunleavy won office last year largely on his promise to reverse the shrinking value of payouts and bring them back to about $3,000 a year.
Viewing the situation from North Dakota, Dr Hagerott said he did not want to comment on the wisdom of Alaska paying that money to its residents rather than investing for future generations. But he observed that North Dakota politicians faced similar pressures and had so far resisted.
That, however, remained a real struggle, Dr Hagerott said. North Dakota's governor and lawmakers are soon to begin discussions on how best to budget for the long term, he said.
"We're trying to think of our children's children, and how to have a better life for them," Dr Hagerott said.
Dr Johnsen said he wished that more Alaskans would study at the university level and expressed hope that companies in the state would make good use of their training if they did.
But, he acknowledged, Alaskans are not doing that, and the university system's low student-to-faculty ratio – including eight-to-one at the flagship Fairbanks campus – cannot currently be justified.
A place such as Harvard University perhaps can afford that kind of faculty depth, Dr Johnsen said. "But I'm a state university system – that is irresponsible to use public resources in that way," he said. "I have to be honest."
Either way, Dr Johnsen was bracing for the loss of top academics. During a recent visit to Washington, he said, he was told by staff at federal grant agencies that they were "getting calls from our faculty for references".
The University of Alaska Fairbanks, regarded as one of the world's best small universities, has leading research programmes in areas that include ocean sciences, ecology and engineering.
Fairbanks so far has managed to keep key faculty in those fields, said the university's provost, Anupma Prakash. "But with a budget cut of this nature, there is anxiety about that critical mass," she said. "That, at the moment, is up in the air."

So, the annual budget for the Alaskan U system works out at US$900m for 17500 students - or an eye-watering US$51,430 per capita. That is about €46,000 per student. In my institution, which is not particularly poorly funded, the per capita cost/income (the two are roughly equal! ) per student is about €8,600. So the Alaskans are spending more than 5 times as much. They must have a gold-plated HE system :-)
#2 Submitted by dvalentine_alaska_edu on July 12, 2019 - 12:23am
The University of Alaska budget includes substantial external research grants and other items that are not directly related to instruction. So comparing per capita income/expenses based on the total budget makes no sense.

Lawn Mower Reviews
The Best Lawns Need the Best Mowers
That's what this site is – my attempt to create a comprehensive shopping tool for anybody out there looking for a new lawnmower. I've included several reviews of some of the more popular mowers in each lawnmower category and I've tried to be as honest as I can be – if I wasn't impressed with the mower you'll read that in the reviews. I've also included quite a few information articles that are designed to help you understand how mowers work and what you should be looking for when you're making that final purchase decision.
A Brief Exploration of The Site
I realize that you may not to want to read every article on the site and that's okay because each article on the site is self-contained. If you notice a lawnmower that you're considering for purchase that we've reviewed on the site and that's all you want to look over, by all means simply read the review, but if you really want to make an informed decision I highly recommend taking a real look around. This site includes lawnmower reviews of products in pretty much all categories you can think of, but it is just a snapshot as there are many other choices out there.
The information articles on this site are also all independent articles so read one of them or all them – the choice is yours. My only hope is that you get something out of them that's useful to you in your attempt to find the right lawnmower.
Our Best Picks for You
As you read the reviews on the site you'll probably get a pretty good idea of which mowers I think are your best options, but with the intention of being even more transparent I've also included below a breakdown of my top picks when it comes to lawnmowers. Most of these are traditional stand up push mowers, but I've also included a robot mower and a riding mower as well. You may agree or disagree with my choices, but I'm happy to share them with you just the same.
Honda HRR216K9VKA
Self-Propelled Gas Mower with Auto Choke
Personally, I've always liked the idea of owning a self-propelled lawn mower. Pushing a lawnmower over a large lawn can be a lot of work, especially under the hot sun, and that's why I chose the Honda HRR216K9VKA for this list. It's a self-propelled lawnmower that also has an auto choke feature that will relieve you of the stress you might normally experience trying to get your mower to start.
One problem that troubles me with a self-propelled lawnmower is how you control the speed. As individuals we all have our own pace that we like to set, and the speed at which I like to walk may not be the same as the speed you like to walk. Think about someone that's about 5'2 compared to someone that's 6'2 – that's a huge difference in height and it should be obvious that the person that's 6'2 is likely to have a much wider gait. Fortunately, this self-propelled Honda lawnmower also comes with the option of adjusting the speed to suit your pace.
Sun Joe MJ401E
Mow Joe Electric Lawnmower Review
The Sun Joe MJ401E Mow Joe isn't a large lawnmower – it's only got a 14-inch cutting deck, but it's ideal for people with small yards and limited space for storage. This mower is extremely compact and it can be folded up and stored up against the wall when it's not being used. If you don't have a garage and you have to store your lawnmower in a shed, this mower offers a great compromise between space-saving and the ability to get the job done.
It does work with 12 amps as its power source as well, so it's got more than enough power for most situations. As an electric mower you also have the added benefit of not having to pull on a cord to start it – you simply plug it in, pull the handle back, and push the button to go. You do have to deal with a cord dragging behind you, but that's a small price to pay for a mower that starts every time and is easily stored away when not in use.
EGO Power+
56V Cordless Lithium-Ion Lawn Mower
If you're eco-conscious but reluctant to cord hassle or loss of power, the EGO Power+ is for you. With a 4.0 Amp 56V Lithium Battery you get the power that matches most gas mowers, plus it gives you more than enough capacity to mow an average American lawn. The battery is surprisingly good at holding power, but if it so happens that you're out of oomph after 45 minutes, the battery will fully charge again in less than 30 minutes. That's fast!
Besides the electric benefits of quiet and exhaust-free mowing, the EGO Power+ is light, easily maneuverable, and comes with many features that you also see in advanced gas lawnmowers. To pack all these features and power in one machine however, does mean that it's priced in the same region as you would expect to pay for a gas powered lawnmower.
Raven MPV7100
Hybrid Riding Lawn Mower Review
I couldn't resist including a riding lawnmower in our top picks for this site and in my research none caught my imagination quite like the Raven MPV7100 Hybrid. The reason I felt this particular riding lawnmower was the best choice for this list is because of the amazing features it has that you simply won't find anywhere else. It does a great job of cutting the lawn and it's got a cutting deck that's easily adjustable – which is pretty impressive in itself, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
What really separates this lawnmower from its closest competitors is the range of things you can do with it that simply aren't possible with those other riding mowers. The Raven is a hybrid riding lawnmower that doubles as a basic off-road vehicle as well. The cutting deck is removable and once you've removed it you can use the mower as a serviceable off-road vehicle. The top speed is only about 14 to 15 mph, but it will help you get around the back areas of a large property with these. As an added bonus it can also be used as a generator for powering other tools when you're far from home, and it has a towing capacity of up to 550 pounds.
WORX Landroid
Best Robotic Lawnmower
The next mower that I think deserves to make this list is the Worx Landroid robotic lawn mower which, as you've probably already guessed, will do all of the work for you. With this mower you don't have to worry about pushing it up and down the lawn and you don't have to worry about riding it either – you simply set up the programming, make sure it's fully charged, and set it on its way.
The great thing about this little innovative machine is that it's extremely quiet, so if you want to you can program it to run at night and you won't have to worry about trying to dodge it as it cuts your lawn on a nice summer day. It also has built-in safety features that will automatically shut it off if a child tries to pick it up. It's designed with sensors that tell it when there are obstacles in its way; it will automatically turn away from them.
Poulan Pro 961420127
PR625Y22RHP Mower with 22-Inch Deck
There may be nothing more frustrating than when you have a lawnmower with a very narrow deck that requires you to make numerous extra passes up and down the lawn. That's why the Poulan Pro 961420127 PR625Y22RHP was chosen for this list, because it has an extra wide cutting deck of about 22 inches. The average cutting deck for lawnmowers is no more than about 20 inches and that extra 2 inches can make the world of difference in the amount of time you spend cutting your lawn.
As an added bonus this is also a self-propelled lawnmower, so not only can you cut the lawn in much fewer passes you can do it without putting a whole lot of effort into it. The mower also features an auto choke function which makes starting your gas-powered mower much easier than other mowers in this class.
Remington Trimmer Lawnmower
for Hard to Reach Areas
The Remington Trimmer Lawnmower makes the list of reviews because of its innovative nature. It's not a lawnmower in the true sense of the word as it's more a combination lawnmower and trimmer. That makes it ideal for getting into tight spaces that most normal lawnmowers simply couldn't handle, and it's also great if you have steep ditches to clear out as well.
You may not want to use it as your primary lawnmower as it's design may result in an uneven cut, but in a pinch it can be used for that purpose. Perhaps, if your normal lawnmower is at the shop for repairs this will do an adequate job in its place.
GreenWorks 25022
Corded Electric Mower with Mulch
In a society that's becoming increasingly environmentally conscious it's probably not surprising that the GreenWorks 25022 corded lawnmower makes the cut for this list. This is an electric mower that strikes a great balance between quality and affordability. It features a 12 amp power source, which is usually considered the standard for electric mowers and, of course, like any other electric mower it's easy to start.
You'll also be happy to know that this mower is easily folded for storage into a very compact package – no more worrying about where you'll find space for the mower. It also has seven different levels of height adjustment and it comes with three different options for dealing with your grass clippings, including a handy mulch feature. To top it all off it has a four year comprehensive warranty which is much better than most other mowers that it competes against.
Yard Machines 140cc
Gas Lawn Mower with Adjustable Height
Not everybody wants to spend a fortune on a lawnmower and, as it turns out, you really don't have to, even if you've got your heart set on a gas powered lawnmower. The Yard Machines 140cc mower is an affordable option that will fit into most people's budgets. Generally, this model retails for well under $250 and that's pretty inexpensive for a gas-powered lawnmower. At 140 cc it's not the most powerful lawnmower on the market today, but it's more than adequate for most people's needs. Perhaps you wouldn't want to try it on wet grass, but under most other circumstances it will work just fine.
The mower also features a 20-inch cutting deck that is wider than a lot of other mowers in this budget category, and the wheels are fully adjustable so that you can set them to the height you desire. It's the type of machine that's ideal as an entry-level lawnmower, so if you've just purchased your first house and the budget's a little tight, you could certainly do a lot worse.
Beyond the Reviews
This homepage simply offers a glimpse of what you'll find on the rest of the site. Yes, these are some of my favorite choices in the various lawnmower categories, but there are also a lot of other great options reviewed inside as well. It doesn't matter whether you're still holding on strong to your love of the gas-powered mower or you've jumped on the environmental bandwagon and want to switch over to an electric powered mower – you'll find some great options on the site along with some helpful information articles. Hopefully, you'll find the best mower to keep your lawn nicely manicured all summer long.

A number of "property performance" materials will be requested during the application or underwriting process for a loan or refinancing up to $5M.
These documents provide information on the financial activity at the property over a set period of time, and are used by the lender to assess the ability of the property owner (or other borrower) to repay the loan.
Details on a few kinds of property performance documents are provided below.
Rent roll: The rent roll is the most critical document in formulating the value of income property, because it provides a snapshot of the recurring revenue coming into the property through rent payments every month. The rent roll will state the start and end date of each tenant's obligation to pay rent, per the terms of their leases.
Leases: The lender may also want to review the actual leases for your residential or business tenants for more detailed information on tenant mix, expiration dates, and the potential for their rents to be changed over time. This is especially true when buildings are being renovated or rehabbed in order to increase the amount to be charged in rents.
Maintenance: Documents related to your maintenance and improvements to the property may also be requested. These can include any contracts with third parties who clean, fix, or otherwise work on the property. Assessing these documents can help a lender understand the amount of maintenance required to keep up the property's existing condition.
Profit & Loss (P&L): A profit and loss statement (or P&L) is a financial statement that summarizes the revenues, costs and expenses incurred during a specific period of time – usually a fiscal quarter or year. Your lender may review P&L statements going back as many as 5 years to know how money has moved through the property to date, or how a renovation or rehab loan could help improve property performance.
Taxes/Insurance: Lenders will also want to know that all necessary taxes and insurance payments on the building have been made. Information on insurance premiums and tax rates is also used by lenders to help understand the affordability of the loan and the level of risk involved, which affect the rates and yield the lender will consider appropriate.

Q: Clarification on the use of primary keys on an attendance table I just need some clarification or suggestion about a certain database table. It has the following fields;
-ID (PK)
-employeeID (FK)
-date
-timeIn
-timeOut
This table stores the daily time in and time out of employees. Now, I have read that all tables shall have a primary key that uniquely identifies a record.. but
can't it actually be without the "ID" for I see no use for it, if I need the certain attendance of a certain someone at a certain date I can just use the "employeeID" field as well as its date.
Are there any suggestions for the table or am I just overthinking it and is fine as it is?

A: Your reasoning is sound.
Two thoughts:

*

*While primary keys can be composite keys (i.e. have more than one column), many people like to have single column primary keys (which are then most often "surrogate keys" based on an artificial counter devoid of any "business meaning"). That does make things easier if code using the database can assume that a simple string or number always identifies a record. See this thread for a discussion.

*Maybe you want to support people clocking in and out more than once a day.

Internship Insider: Josh Hornthal's Summers at Apple
In case you haven't heard, Apple recently released the iPhone 5. The uproar about universal compatibility aside (the new iPhone doesn't fit the old charging connector), Apple's smart phone continues to be a huge success. At least one young job prospect watches Apple's product launches with especially keen interest. College student Josh Hornthal started his employment love affair with Apple in high school and has since had two internships at the company's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. Hornthal shares details of his on-the-job training at the almighty Apple.…Read More
"You might help engineer the next iPad, develop the next generation of Mac OS X, create the marketing materials for a top-secret product launch, manufacture the next new product, or travel internationally to help open a new store," reads the internship description on Apple's website. With compensated travel and housing, as well as employee discounts on all Apple products, who wouldn't want to intern at the technology powerhouse?
Seeing Red … or Not
Josh Hornthal, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in communications in commerce and minoring in sociology, has done just that — twice. In 2011, he worked over the summer as a developer relations and app review intern at Apple in Cupertino, Calif. Most recently, Hornthal served for 12 weeks as a summer intern on the business affairs team, part of Apple's marketing and communications division. His team's focus was to make sure that Apple did not commit copyright infringement when using third-party content for its advertisements: "Every time you see an ad playing on an iPhone or iPad in a store, my team cleared that content," says Hornthal.
Because advertisements are developed and approved months before release, sometimes this task can prove challenging. One of Hornthal's assignments was to evaluate content for a Valentine's Day advertisement. "We were looking for red album covers, red apps, basically lots of red, which was hard because no one was producing Valentine's Day content yet."
Hornthal began his career with Apple during high school at Marin Academy, where he worked as a retail specialist in Apple's retail flagship store in San Francisco. Although he had experience with the company, Hornthal claims that this did not give him a leg up in the competition for his internship, because he lacked contacts at Apple's headquarters. Part of this was due to location: "Apple doesn't recruit at Penn or market its business internships on the East Coast," says Hornthal, "so the process of getting a job was not easy." He relied on personal connections through his fraternity, where he learned about universityrelations@apple.com, a contact address for college students interested in Apple internships. He encourages other interested students to submit a résumé along with a letter explaining why they would be a great candidate for an Apple internship.
As an intern, Hornthal, who is most interested in product marketing, marketing communications and advertising, was in the minority — out of 400 interns, most are engineers. At the same time, he notes that there are opportunities for everyone: "Apple is not just looking for computer geeks, but all types of people. They even had a fitness intern working in the gym."
According to Forbes.com, Apple interns make upwards of $4,500 per month. This intern salary is "on par with what you could get at the best finance jobs," says Hornthal. "The intern pay ranges depend on what you do and your years of schooling." Unlike other business internships — in finance, for example — employees at Apple work with "physical products with a real release, not hedge funds and mutual funds." Hornthal liked this aspect of the business: "It's pretty cool when you work on a product that touches people's hands."
'Huge, All-organic and Amazing'
Besides competitive salary benefits, any internship at such a high-profile company comes with perks. Hornthal had access to the company's employee discounts, which made products "more affordable," as well as the employee health care plan (which he did not use as an intern). Other amenities included an on-site barber for middle-of-the-day haircuts, a carwash and a "huge, all-organic and amazing" cafeteria that Hornthal calls "dirt-cheap."
Apple also pays for travel and housing during the internship period. As a local San Franciscan, Hornthal chose to live at home during his first Apple internship. The following year, he enrolled in the company's corporate housing plan, where he lived in one of five apartment complexes in Cupertino. Outside of work, he played on the company softball team. "The culture is very unique, quirky and comfortable," Hornthal says of his time in the California offices.
Hornthal recalls the executive speaker series as a highlight of his Apple internship: "All of the top executives come in, tell their stories, give a few anecdotes and do Q and A." The company also runs an intern contest, where interns submit a one-page abstract on an innovation — anything from "a tiny button to a whole new product." The top 10 interns win the chance to present their products to senior employees at Apple. He adds that he came away with lots of new workplace skills, including creating and giving presentations, analyzing data from different perspectives and learning to work well with other people on teams.
In response to the grumbling about universal compatibility issues with the just-released iPhone 5, which no longer fits the old charging connector, Hornthal wears his true company spokesman hat: "I'm definitely no spokesperson, but speaking as a user of their products it will all make sense eventually. Everything new they do, like getting rid of the CD drive [on the MacBook Pro], they have always been successful and know the right time to do it," he notes. "With the new cable [on the iPhone], no one wants to look at the benefit, but it really makes sense."
So, will Hornthal join the almighty Apple after graduation? "After working for years at one company, maybe it's a good time in life to try something new," he says. He is not opposed to applying for a full-time position, and he received positive recommendations that could only help his chances. But, like any young professional, Hornthal is open to new opportunities.

An internship at Apple pays well, but not all internships offer salaries these days. Would you take an internship that did not pay a salary? Why or why not? Why are internships especially valuable in today's economy?

Benefits of IAM in Healthcare: Compliance, Security, Profits and More
by Martin Kuppinger Posted on Jul 12, 2019
Healthcare organizations must use IAM as an integral part of their IT infrastructure in order to cope with challenges in various fields, such as compliance, regulations, cybersecurity, and Digital Transformation. In this respect, IAM not only serves as a security technology but also as a mechanism that helps responding to new business challenges and drivers.
While every industry currently has to deal with the disruptive nature of the Digital Transformation and ever-increasing cyberattacks, some of the developments are endemic to healthcare organizations. For instance, complying with new regulations such as Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) or the well-known Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Due to their sensitivity, patient data are a highly valuable target for hackers, which is why the healthcare industry is among the most regulated ones.
In order to protect sensitive patient data, it is inevitable for any given healthcare organization to implement a strong Identity and Access Management as a central pillar of the IT infrastructure. Control and restriction of access with the help of a sophisticated IAM is a prerequisite to the protection of information that network firewalls and single sign-on (SSO) cannot deliver.
Altogether, there are five areas a strong IAM infrastructure will bolster:
Compliance & Regulations
Organizational & Financial Challenges
Compliance & Regulations: In recent years, the regulatory bar that healthcare organizations have to comply with has been raised. HIPAA, ECPS and state-level regulations, like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are just a few. The regulations have strong authentication and refined access control at their core. They are complemented by a detailed registration of user activities. In stark contrast to other industries, healthcare providers may find themselves in emergency situations, when data must be accessed quickly. IAM delivers the infrastructure for such regulation-compliant emergency access processes.
Security: As cyberattacks rise in number and intensity, organizations have to take precautions more than ever. IT security teams in healthcare organizations must prioritize this kind of risk, especially regarding incidences of ransomware attacks against hospitals.
Most healthcare organizations still focus too little on detection while being caught up in prevention. Despite external prevention being necessary, it does not protect against internal attacks. Therefore, it is unavoidable to restrict access to sensitive data and critical infrastructure, particularly when the attacker is already in the system. IAM does not replace firewalls and other preventive measures but should always go hand in hand with them.
Organizational & Financial Challenges: Apart from having to care for their patients' wellbeing, healthcare organizations, ultimately, are also businesses and should keep an eye on profits. Here, IAM helps increasing efficiency and convenience for user experience, for instance with an SSO portal.
The number of user types accessing systems and data within healthcare organizations is sheer incalculable: Doctors, nurses, students, patients are just a few and the number is growing. The careful distribution of user rights has its litmus test when emergency situations arise and EMR data must be accessed quickly.
Like any other kind of business, healthcare businesses often lack the resources and ownership for IAM. The latter must be clearly defined, and projects need support from sponsors within the organization.
M&A Activity: Healthcare is not exempt from M&A activity and IAM infrastructures should be designed to make a merger go as smoothly as possible. The merging organizations must federate identities and give employees, patients, and contractors adequate levels of access.
Digital Transformation: Telemedicine, EMR, and Patient Access Management result in an increase in identities as well as in complexity in access entitlements which must be controlled. The role of IAM is to support these processes in working together seamlessly. Where SSO is not enough, IAM gains center stage: Provisioning and deprovisioning of accounts, management of access entitlements, audit and governance, and granular access control.
As healthcare services become more digitalized and "consumerized", it is IAM that must support these hybrid environments and multi-cloud infrastructures. Different types of users have different types of devices, all of which has to be considered when setting up an IAM solution, especially one that goes beyond SSO. This is the only way to address the challenges of digitization and provide secure access at the same time. Ultimately, IAM is the foundation for supporting the consumerization of healthcare businesses.

I just finished my fourth batch of Lanceros. After playing a good bit of Guarda Costas and Armada de Barlovento, I'm pretty excited about the Piqueros Marineros so I decided to finish up a set of 4 that I started at least a month back.
I worked a good bit of blue into these minis to make them look more nautical.
I've been trying to use some darker skin tones to represent the different races within the Spanish forces and 3 of these models actually have less European features so I used the same set of skin paints I've been using for Natives.
I have a set of 16 Lanceros now and that's enough to fully crew a Sloop with Piqueros or split them into 2 groups for a larger ship. I have a few more of these models tucked away but I think I'll move on to something else for a bit.
I'll be painting an older version of the Spanish commander for Zarate, then I hope to do a painting guide for the Enter Ploeg.

Q: outputting a file for user download with echo automatically adds carriage return and line feed I have an php application which outputs a csv-file for the user to download.
The csv file is then imported by another application.
The other application crashes because the csv file has two empty rows at the end of the file where only a carriage return and a line feed occur.
Here is the code how i export the file:
$sData = getOutputString($aSomeArray);

file_put_contents('debug.txt', $sData, FILE_APPEND);

header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="output.csv"');
echo utf8_decode($sData);

function getOutputString($aSomeArray) {

    $sOutput = "";

    for ($aSomeArray as $oItem) {

        $aRow['0'] = $oItem->getSomeValue();
        $aRow['1'] = $oItem->getSomeOtherValue();
        $aRow['2'] = $oItem->getOneMoreValue();
        //More data is added to $aRow...

        if ($aRow !== null) {
            $sRow = implode(';', $aRow)."\r\n";
            $sOutput .= $sRow;
        }
    }

    return $sOutput;
}

Looking at the debug.txt i find the following result for $sData:
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]

This is how the file should be. But when i inspect the file itself with notepad++, i get the following result:
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]
SomeValue;SomeOtherValue;OneMoreValue;...;...;...;[CR][LF]
[CR][LF]
[CR][LF]

The variable $sData does not have these additional [CR][LF]'s.
I already tried to echo without utf8_decode, but it makes no difference.
Can someone help me finding out where these additional [CR][LF] come from?

A: Okay the problem was that my php-file had two extra columns after the php end-tag:
<?php
    $sData = getOutputString($aSomeArray);

    file_put_contents('debug.txt', $sData, FILE_APPEND);

    header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="output.csv"');
    echo utf8_decode($sData);

    function getOutputString($aSomeArray) {

        $sOutput = "";

        for ($aSomeArray as $oItem) {

            $aRow['0'] = $oItem->getSomeValue();
            $aRow['1'] = $oItem->getSomeOtherValue();
            $aRow['2'] = $oItem->getOneMoreValue();
            //More data is added to $aRow...

            if ($aRow !== null) {
                $sRow = implode(';', $aRow)."\r\n";
                $sOutput .= $sRow;
            }
        }

        return $sOutput;
    }
?>
/empty line
/empty line

After i removed these lines, the extra [CR][LF] in my file disappeared.

Q: 'File Not Found: VBA6.dll' Error - Strange Behaviour I am running Windows 8 with Office 2013 (64-Bit). I am trying to continue developments in VBA in Excel that I started with Office 2010 (32-Bit). I am aware of the necessary 64-Bit alterations however I am receiving confusing configuration errors.
Here is the problem:

*

*If I create a new Excel file and VBA project; all my VBA code functions correctly. No problems.

*If I open and use a macro from a file that was developed/used in Office 2010 previously, I receive a "File Not Found: VBA6.dll" error message.

*Once I start receiving the message, I receive it on all VBA macro's; even the new ones that (not more than 30 seconds) previously worked fine.

*If I then re-create a new Excel file and new VBA Project, that individual piece of new code works fine. No problems - until I run code in one of the 'error files'. The fault then spreads into my new developments.

It's as if Excel is getting its references confused but every time I check them (on good or bad files) they are always exactly the same.
Note:

*

*None of my references are missing.

*I don't have VBA6.dll on my system; I have VBA7 and the 'Visual Basic for Application' reference refers too 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll'

*There are two other 'Visual basic for Application' references on the list but it wont let me change them

*It works on new files without VBA6.dll so I assume it isn't required?

*I have checked for and installed all the latest Windows updates.

What should I do to troubleshoot this problem?

*

*If you think I need VBA6.dll, is that because the referenced libraries use it?

*If so then why are they not using VBA7?

*And why does it work correctly before opening an old VBA6 file? Does Excel suddenly decide all files must use VBA6 just because one file did previously?

Anything to cure me of my confusion is much appreciated,
Best regards
EDIT: I almost forgot to mention;

*

*When I try to debug the error after receiving it, Excel crashes (every time).

*I also sent a 'bad file' to a colleague who [with the same system configuration] hasn't yet received this problem - and they also received the error. Suggesting it is something wrong with the files?

EDIT 2:
The problem is not yet resolved. I hope the downvote will not hinder my chances of an answer.

*

*I have also tried re-registering libraries but nothing has changed.

*If I open a 'bad file' I can add new Macros and they work fine; but the second I run an existing Macro and receive the error, the new Macros do not work either.

A: The error was caused during Office 2013 (64-bit) installation. The VBA7 DLL was not registered correctly so I had to open regedit and manually input the correct filepath in both

*

*HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{000204EF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\

*

*6.0\9\win32

*4.2\9\win32

Replacing the 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvbvm60.dll' data value (mentioned in the question) for Visual Basic for Applications to the VBA7 DLL filepath. Which on my system is:

*

*C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA7.1\VBE7.dll

All files now work; I hope this solves the problem for anyone else in the future.

PM abandons 'cumbersome' homeland security department
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has formally abandoned the plan for a massive new department of homeland security Labor took to the election.
In his long-awaited national security statement, Mr Rudd said he'd taken the advice of former Defence Department head Ric Smith that to lump all the security and intelligence agencies into one new department would be too cumbersome. (The Age)

The first master's program was in Educational Management and Direction, and it was created as part of the School of Arts in the academic year 1968/1969, which is six years following the establishment of The University of Jordan. In 1973, the Deanship of Scientific Research and Graduate Studies was set up.
On June 3rd 1984, the deanship was split into two deanships: the Deanship of Scientific Research and the Deanship of Graduate Studies. The Deans' Council recommended the establishment of the School of Graduate Studies on June 12th 1984. The Royal decree announcing the establishment of the School of Graduate Studies was issued on January 2nd, 1985. The establishment of this scientific edifice aimed at preparing high-level academic qualifications and managing the graduate studies affairs on the university level in all humanities, scientific and medical specializations.
Ever since its establishment, the School of Graduate Studies has been concerned with boosting the local and international markets with modern scientific master's and doctoral programs as well as high specialization programs in the fields of medicine and dentistry. It has also been working on assuring the quality of scientific research and university theses and dissertations according to international standards.
