UCP-18
Unemployment Compensation Appeals Information
This pamphlet was prepared to help you understand the appeal process. It is designed for informational purposes only and should not be considered a statement of the Law.
This pamphlet gives claimants and employers important information about filing an unemployment compensation appeal. The pamphlet also contains important information for claimants concerning the need to continue to file biweekly claims while awaiting a decision. If you are a claimant, knowing the correct claims filing procedures will enable you to protect your right to benefits pending the outcome of the appeal.
Under Article V of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Law, the Department of Labor & Industry must examine promptly each application for benefits and determine whether the application is valid. In order to ensure that every individual is given an opportunity for a fair hearing, the law also provides for an appeal process to allow interested parties to object to an unemployment compensation determination or decision.
Whether you are the claimant or the employer, you may file your own appeal to a UC referee or the UC Board of Review and represent yourself before the referee or the board, or you may have an attorney or any other advocate represent you. If you are a claimant and you qualify, free legal assistance may be available from the legal services organization serving your area, your local bar association or a law school clinic.
Appeals to the Unemployment Compensation Referee
When the UC Service Center (UCSC) has decided whether an employee who has filed a disputed claim will receive Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefits, it notifies both parties in the case, the employee (claimant) and the employer, of its determination.
If you disagree with the determination of the UCSC, you may appeal within 15 days from the date the ruling is mailed to you. Instructions for filing an appeal are included with the determination. If the 15th day of an appeal period falls on a day on which the UCSC is closed, the appeal period is extended to the next working day. Following a hearing, the UC referee will issue a new decision.
CLAIMS INVOLVED IN APPEAL
Claimant Appeals
If you are a claimant appealing an ineligible determination, the benefit weeks involved will be paid only if the decision is reversed. If you are eligible for benefits but appealing for a higher weekly benefit rate, the benefit weeks will be paid at the current rate. If the appeal is decided in your favor, you will be issued supplemental benefits for the difference between the two rates.
Continued Filing of Claims - IMPORTANT
If you are a claimant who is still totally or partially unemployed, continue to file your claims for benefits. If you have an application for benefits (AB) date that is effective on or after January 1, 2012, you must also be registered for employment search services with Pennsylvania CareerLink® system within 30 days after you have filed your application for UC benefits and continue to conduct your active work searches as required. If you appeal a determination or a decision denying benefits and the appeal is decided in your favor, only benefits for weeks that you claimed while the appeal was pending can be paid. However, failure to register with a CareerLink® timely or seek work as instructed may result in your being determined ineligible for benefits for that week(s). You must continue to file your biweekly claims as instructed by the UCSC. The fact that your case is under appeal does not change your responsibility to continue to file your biweekly claims for benefits.
Employer Appeals
If you are a claimant and your employer is appealing a determination that made you eligible for benefits, you will continue to be paid your benefits while the appeal is in progress. If the eligible determination is reversed, you will be expected to repay the money you received if it is determined that you were overpaid benefits through your own fault. Interest is assessed on the overpayment principal until it is repaid.
If the overpayment is determined to be a non-fault recoupable, the total of the overpaid benefits will be deducted from any future benefits you receive.
Periodic letters are sent to claimants having nonfault overpayments to remind them of the offset from future benefits and to provide them with the opportunity to make voluntary repayment. If it is determined to be a non-fault, nonrecoupable overpayment, the overpayment will not be deducted from your future benefits.
The UC Referee
Your appeal will be assigned a number and forwarded to a UC referee (referee). The referee is a person knowledgeable in UC matters who will take sworn testimony regarding the issue(s) pertinent to your claim for benefits.
The referee will send you a Notice of Hearing (Notice). This Notice will give you, and the other interested parties involved, the time and place of the hearing and the issues and parties involved. A list and explanation of UC eligibility issues will be included with the Notice.
When referring to the claim appeal, use the assigned appeal number and the claimant's name and social security number.
Withdrawal of Appeal
You may ask to have your appeal withdrawn any time before a decision is issued by the referee. If you wish to withdraw your appeal, you must submit a written request for withdrawal to the referee's office responsible for the hearing.
The Hearing Before a UC Referee
Purpose of the Hearing
The purpose of the hearing, and the duty of the referee, is to gather all facts relating to the case. After getting all the facts on the record, the referee must then apply the appropriate laws, rules, procedures, and precedents in order to make a proper decision. The referee has no special or personal interest in the outcome of the appeal. The referee's decision will be based on the evidence and testimony provided at the hearing.
The hearing is not a "round table" discussion. You must limit your testimony and evidence to the issues before the referee. You have the right to present your testimony and evidence. Please refer to "REPRESENTATION" for further information on representation at hearings.
If you feel that a conflict of interest would be created if the hearing were to be conducted by the assigned referee, you may advise the Appeals System Administrator, UC Board of Review, 651 Boas St., Room 1116, Harrisburg, PA 17121-0750, in writing, giving your reasons and requesting that another referee be assigned.
Preparing for the Hearing
Organize the facts and circumstances relating to your appeal. Gather any documents you have which concern the case, since these should be taken to the hearing.
If you need assistance because of a disability with hearing, speech, and/or vision, or for a language other than English, please contact the referee's office responsible for the hearing.
Although the hearings are informal, they do involve testifying under oath, cross-examination, rebuttals and witnesses. The testimony will be recorded.
If there are any witnesses who have firsthand knowledge of the matter, and you wish to have them testify or bring documents to the hearing, you must notify them of the date, time, and place of the hearing and arrange for them to be present. If a witness can testify only as to what he/she was told by someone else, such testimony alone cannot be used in making the decision.
If your witness refuses to appear or provide documentary evidence, you may request that the referee issue subpoenas to ensure the requested presence at the hearing. The referee will issue subpoenas if determined necessary.
Attendance at the Hearing
You should attend the hearing to protect your rights.
Request for Continuance of Hearing
If for any reason you cannot attend the hearing, a request for a continuance (postponement and rescheduling) of the hearing should be directed IMMEDIATELY to the referee named on the front of the Notice of Hearing. This will be granted only for "proper cause" and upon terms deemed proper by the referee. If a continuance of the hearing is granted, the hearing will be rescheduled.
Request for Reopening After Scheduled Hearing
Either party may request a reopening of an appeal hearing, by contacting the referee's office. A request received before the referee's decision has been issued will be reviewed by the referee. A reopening may be granted for good cause. A request received after the referee's decision has been issued will be treated as a request for further appeal to the UC Board of Review (board) from the referee's decision. Request for reopening must be made in writing and directed to the referee's office responsible for the hearing.
The UC Referee's Decision
Following the hearing, the referee will consider the facts presented at the hearing and issue a decision based on these facts. Copies of the decision will be mailed to the interested parties.
Appeals to the UC Board of Review
If you feel that the referee's decision is incorrect, you may file an appeal to the UC Board of Review. Instructions for filing an appeal are included with the referee's decision.
Appeals must be filed within 15 days from the date the decision was mailed. If the fifteenth day of an appeal period falls on a day on which the UCSC is closed, the appeal period is extended to the next working day.
The board members review the previously established record in connection with each request for a further appeal from the referee's decision, and will determine whether or not there is any need for an additional hearing.
If the board determines that the record established by the referee meets the board's fact-finding responsibilities, and that the parties were given ample opportunity to present their testimony and evidence at the referee hearing, then it may proceed to decide the case on the basis of that record.
If you feel that a conflict of interest would be created by any particular board member's review of the further appeal, you may advise the board, in writing, of the reasons, and request that the specified member not participate in the decision.
Copies of Referee Hearing Testimony
The record of the referee's hearing is transcribed only when a referee decision is appealed to the UC Board of Review. Copies of such testimony are available to you (to be used for UC purposes only) at no charge, upon a written request to the Appeals System Administrator, UC Board of Review, 651 Boas St., Room 1116, Harrisburg, PA 17121-0750.
Remanding a Case
The board's review of a further appeal does not include a hearing like the referee's hearing. However, if the board feels that the record is not adequate, then it will remand (return) the case to a referee for another hearing.
If you feel that existing testimony is insufficient and that new evidence should be introduced, you should submit a written request for a remand to the Appeals System Administrator, stating why you think the testimony is incomplete.
A Remand Hearing
At a remand hearing, the referee will serve as a hearing officer for the board, to gather from the parties any additional information needed in order for the board to arrive at a proper conclusion of the case. This testimony will be recorded. Then the entire file and record of evidence will be returned to the board members for their consideration and appropriate further action.
If a remand hearing is scheduled, you may request a continuance (postponement and rescheduling) of the hearing by contacting the referee's office. This may be granted for proper cause.
If you feel that the attendance of certain witnesses and/or the producing of certain documents at the remand hearing are essential to provide the board with complete information concerning the claim, you may submit a written request to the hearing officer that subpoenas be issued to produce these. The board will issue subpoenas, if necessary.
Filing a Brief - Requesting Oral Argument
If you wish to clarify or expand testimony already recorded, you should request, in writing, of the Appeals System Administrator, UC Board of Review, 651 Boas St., Room 1116, Harrisburg, PA 17121-0750, the board's permission to file a brief (a written statement) or to be scheduled for oral argument (personal appearance) before the board in Harrisburg. The board has sole discretion to grant or deny requests for oral argument, and will grant such a request only when the board deems it necessary to enable the board to render an appropriate decision.
If an oral argument is scheduled, you may request a continuance (postponement and rescheduling) by contacting the UC Board of Review. This may be granted for proper cause.
You may ask to have your appeal withdrawn any time before a decision is issued by the UC Board of Review. If you wish to withdraw, you must send a written request to Appeals System Administrator, UC Board of Review, 651 Boas St., Room 1116, Harrisburg, PA 17121-0750. By withdrawing the appeal, you now accept the decision from which the last appeal was taken.
The Board's Decision
After reviewing the facts, the board will issue a decision, usually within 30 to 75 days from the filing of the further appeal. Copies of the decision will be mailed to the interested parties.
Requesting the Board of Review to Reconsider its Decision
A party aggrieved by a Board decision may submit a request to the Board to reconsider the decision. The request must be submitted no later than 15 days after the decision mailing date. Reconsideration will be granted only under very limited circumstances, for "good cause." The Board, in most cases, cannot revisit its previous credibility determinations. Also, the Board will not accept additional evidence, unless the party could not have presented the evidence at an earlier stage.
The submission of a request for reconsideration to the Board does not extend the time limit for filing a petition for review with Commonwealth Court.
Appeals to the Commonwealth Court
If you disagree with the UC Board of Review's decision, you have the right of appeal to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania. Instructions for filing an appeal are included with the board's decision. An appeal to the Commonwealth Court must be filed within 30 days of the mailing date of the board's decision. The UC Board of Review has nothing to do with the filing or processing of further appeals to the Court. Commonwealth Court appeals may be filed in person or by mail with the Prothonotary of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Judicial Center, 601 Commonwealth Ave., Suite 2100, P.O. Box 69185, Harrisburg, PA 17106-9185.

Q: Wrap angular $resource requests not returning POST data I'm working on wrapping my $resource requests in a simple wrapper. The main idea
is to be able to add some logic before the request is made. I've followed the nice article written by Nils.
Here you can see a service definition to access the REST API module.
resources.factory('Device', ['RequestWrapper', '$resource', 'lelylan.config', function(RequestWrapper, $http, config) {
  var resource = $resource(config.endpoint + '/devices/:id', { id: '@id' });
  return RequestWrapper.wrap(resource, ['get', 'query', 'save', 'delete']);
}]);

And here you can see the request wrapper definition.
resources.factory('RequestWrapper', ['AccessToken', function(AccessToken) {
  var requestWrapper = {};
  var token;

  requestWrapper.wrap = function(resource, actions) {
    token = AccessToken.initialize();

    var wrappedResource = resource;
    for (var i=0; i < actions.length; i++) { request(wrappedResource, actions[i]); };
    return wrappedResource;
  };

  var request = function(resource, action) {
    resource['_' + action]  = resource[action];

    resource[action] = function(param, data, success, error) {
      (AccessToken.get().access_token) ? setAuthorizationHeader() : deleteAuthorizationHeader()
      return resource['_' + action](param, data, success, error);
    };
  };

  var setAuthorizationHeader = function() {
    $http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + token.access_token;
  };

  var deleteAuthorizationHeader = function() {
    delete $http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization']
  };

  return requestWrapper;
}]);

Everything works just fine for the GET and DELETE methods (the ones that does not returns
a body seems), but I can't get $save working. What happens is that when the JSON of the
created resources returns it is not added. I have only the data I've set on the creation
phase. Let me make an example.
In this case we use the wrapped resource. If I try to get the #updated_at attribute I can't
see it. In the Chrome inspector I can see how the resource is successfully created.
$scope.device = new Device({ name: 'Angular light', type: 'http://localhost:9000/types/50bf5af4d033a95486000002' });
$scope.device.$save(function(){ console.log('Device Wrapped', $scope.device.created_at) });
# => undefined

If I use $resource everything works fine.
// Suppose authorization is already set
var Resource = $resource('http://localhost\\:9000/devices/:id');
$scope.resource = new Resource({ name: 'Angular light', type: 'http://localhost:9000/types/50bf5af4d033a95486000002' });
$scope.resource.$save(function(){ console.log('Device Base', $scope.resource.created_at); });
# => 2013-02-09T12:26:01Z

I started to check the angular-resource.js code but after few hours I couldn't really figure
it out. I can't get why the body is returned, but in the wrapper resource it is not accessible.
Any idea or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A: While diving into AngularJS source code I've found the solution.
The problem was that the wrapper was returning a function instead of an object and this was giving some problems. The solution is to change the following row in the Wrapper:
return resource['_' + action](param, data, success, error);

with this one:
return resource['_' + action].call(this, params, data, success, error);

Why? The fast answer is because in the source code of angular-resource they use it. Actually #call run the function sending this to the calling object. It is often used to initialize an object. Learn more here.

Q: Rank of integral of Jacobian Consider a smooth enough function $u:\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^3$, where $\Omega$ is an open bounded domain. For any $x\in\Omega$, $\nabla u(x)\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times2}$. Now, define $A\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times2}$ such that $A_{ij}=\int_{\Omega}\partial_ju_i(x)dx$ for $i=1,2,3$ and $j=1,2$.
Question: What assumptions of $u$ can guarantee that $A$ has full rank?
So formally, $A=\int_{\Omega}\nabla u(x)dx$ is the integral of the Jacobian. One guess of mine is: if $\nabla u(x)$ is of full rank at any point $x\in\Omega$ then $A$ has full rank.
$\nabla u(x)$ has full rank means that two vectors $\partial_1u(x)$ and $\partial_2u(x)$ are linearly independent at $x$. When $u$ is a parametrization of a surface, $\partial_1u(x)$ and $\partial_2u(x)$ then form a basis of the tangent plane of the surface at the point $u(x)$. The $i$-th column of $A$ should be $\int_{\Omega}\partial_i u(x)dx$ formally, and it looks like an "average" of the vector field $\partial_i u(x)$ over $\Omega$ if we further divide it by constant $|\Omega|$. I think in general two arbitrary vectors field $\mathbf{f}(x)$ and $\mathbf{g}(x)$ linearly independent at any point $x$ doesn't imply that their averages over the entire domain $\frac{1}{|\Omega|}\int_{\Omega}\mathbf{f}(x)$ and $\frac{1}{|\Omega|}\int_{\Omega}\mathbf{g}(x)$ are still linearly independent. However, in this case, the considered two vector fields are not arbitrary, and they have to be the two columns of the Jacobian matrix.
To sum up, my guess can be rephrase as: if $\partial_1u(x)$ and $\partial_2u(x)$ are linearly independent at any $x\in\Omega$, do we have $\int_{\Omega}\partial_1 u(x)dx$ and $\int_{\Omega}\partial_2 u(x)dx$ are linearly independent? If not, what is the counterexample, and is there any possible conditions on $u$ that makes $A$ has full rank?
Updated: My guess is not correct, as pointed out in the comment there is a counterexample. Then what other conditions on $u$ can make $A$ has full rank?

Danmarks Nationalbank has seven guest flats situated in central Co-penhagen, Nyhavn 18. The flats are made available to foreign scientists and artists visiting Danish scientific or artistic institutions. Candidates are nominated once a year by Danish educational institutions – next time in February 2020.
Danmarks Nationalbank allocates the guest flats after consultation with a committee that currently consists of Professor Søren-Peter Olesen (Chairman), Professor Claus Thustrup Kreiner and Professor Rubina Raja.
The flats are allocated based on the guest's previous work which should be of high quality. Especially, emphasis is on the guest's ability to contribute with knowledge and inspiration to the host institution and the research environment. The flats are allocated for a period of minimum 3 months to maximum 1 year.
Former residents will not be considered for 5 years after their stay. Applications from PhD students are not considered.


Yesterday afternoon an Innova car hit a cycle rider near checkpost under Bhaktinagar thana. The person in the cycle died on spot said sources. And while escaping from the site the Innova engulfed another accident in which it hit a bike.
The biker, a youth from Siliguri Saiyam Goyal and his staff got badly injured. Saiyam had lost his senses due to multiple injuries, whereas his staff was in his senses. As locals came for help the staff gave them family contact numbers. Meanwhile both were loaded in a van and send to Anandloke Hospital at Sevoke Road.
Sairam is critically injured and admitted in ICU. He has got several injuries in hand, mouth, jaws, liver and huge internal bleeding in lungs. Later the doctors have discovered that there are fractures in his lungs bone too.
Sairam 24 years past student of DonBosco and son of Ramesh Goyal is a resident of Neel Kamal Apartment at Pranami Mandir Road, Siliguri.
If anyone has any info in regards to the killer Innova please inform police or your can even contact us.


Anheuser-Busch InBev NV said it intends to make an offer for SABMiller Plc to unite the world's two biggest beermakers and brands including Budweiser and Peroni, creating a company that would control about half the industry's profit.
"There will be some concern that the market's not prepared," Hatzius said Tuesday in a Bloomberg Television interview. "There's a risk of an adverse market reaction." Goldman Sachs is one of the 22 primary dealers that trade directly with the central bank.
Neal J. Keating, chief executive of Kaman Corp (KAMN.N) in Bloomfield, Connecticut, says "a measured" quarter point hike would be beneficial. He foresees no real impact on business investments from a modest hike, and his company would get a boost because higher rates would reduce pension liabilities that weigh down the balance sheet.
Police say a woman was hit with a hot flying brisket when a contestant's temper flared during a beef over a shared cooker at a central Kentucky barbecue festival. Danville police say they were called to the Kentucky State BBQ Festival after a dispute was reported between contestants who were sharing a cooker Sunday. Mary Berry of Bardstown told officers she was hit in the shoulder, neck and head by the slab of hot meat, which was estimated to be between 200 and 250 degrees when it was thrown. Police said 42-year-old Mike Owings of Cunningham told officers he threw the brisket because he lost his temper but "didn't mean for anyone to get hurt."
The billionaire Mr. Dalio fired back in his Tuesday note, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, saying his style "would tend to smooth market movements rather than exacerbate them." He also blamed the strong performance of equities in recent years for his relatively poor performance.
At his Kynikos Associates LP, the Kynikos Opportunity fund, which bets on and against stocks, returned 4% in August and was up nearly 10% through the first eight months of the year, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The Ursus and Kriticos funds, which bet only against stocks, gained 6.2% and 8.2% in August, according to the document. Those same funds lost money for three straight years starting in 2012 as markets rose, according to another document. Kynikos recently started marketing a fourth fund.
Table, it turns out, is sort of a secret wrapped in mystery. From the same Manhattan skyscraper as Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management, Table handles the personal finances of one client: the boss. Ackman's setup might seem unusual in the hedge fund business, where managers stake their fortunes on the funds they oversee for clients. But a growing number of prominent hedge funders are also quietly cordoning off private enclaves for themselves, often within their big-name firms. Eric Mindich, Dan Och and others have created what are known as single family offices-- and not everyone is happy about it. Critics say managers should focus on their hedge funds and, in effect, eat their own cooking.
Citigroup Inc. Chief Financial Officer John Gerspach said third-quarter trading revenue will decline from a year earlier amid increased volatility. "We expect our underlying revenues for fixed-income and equity markets to be down in the range of about 5 percent," Gerspach said Wednesday at an investor conference in New York.
Glencore Plc, the worst performer on the U.K.'s benchmark stock index this year, sold $2.5 billion of new shares to pay down debt to help protect its credit rating amid a rout in commodities prices.
Irkutsk native Oksana Kosheleva set what is believed to be a national record for Russia by dragging the 18.7-ton tram car after being unable to secure her intended target -- a 22-ton plane. "I was preparing to move a plane but eventually ended up with a tram car. It was not hard, actually. It should be longer, next time we will make it longer," Kosheleva told reporters after her accomplishment. "We may make it two tram cars or three, or four."

A Gentle Rain
Arkham Horror co-designer's next board game will provide some much needed calm
Raindrops keep falling on my head.
News by Alex Meehan Senior Staff Writer
About A Gentle Rain
Publisher: Mondo Games
Designer: Kevin Wilson
A Gentle Rain, the upcoming board game from the co-creator of Arkham Horror - Kevin Wilson - promises to offer a relaxing experience, even during times of stress.
A tile-laying title about creating a feature lake filled with different coloured water-lilies, A Gentle Rain supports both a solo game experience, as well as a cooperative one. Originally designed to be a gift you could give friends or family members to enjoy during particularly busy times, such as the Holidays, A Gentle Rain is intended to be a tranquil board game that's easily portable - meaning that players can take it with them whenever they need something to help calm them down.
During the game, players will be looking to draw and place tiles next to one another in a way that ensures that any lilies that are cut off part-way along one tile, are matched with the tile that's placed alongside it. Eventually, players will draw the right type of tile to complete a lily, with every bloomed lily resulting in points. The goal of the tabletop title is to create each of the eight different colours of blooming lily before the player runs out of tiles to draw. The co-op game mode sees two or more players working together to achieve this objective by taking turns to draw and place tiles on the table.
The upcoming game comes with 28 tiles, as well as eight wooden tokens - which all fit into a travel-sized box. Players use the different tokens to mark out where they've managed to create each of the different types of blooming lilies using the game's tiles.
Besides creating A Gentle Rain and co-designing Arkham Horror, Wilson is also known for co-creating the beloved fantasy title Descent: Journeys in the Dark - which is receiving a sequel this year called Descent: Legends of the Dark - another entry in the Arkham Horror Files Universe called Elder Sign and the 2008 remake of the classic sci-fi themed board game, Cosmic Encounter.
A Gentle Rain is being published by Mondo Games, the studio responsible for releasing the Unmatched series of miniatures board games, which sees players pitting a collection of characters inspired by iconic fictional and historical figures - such as King Arthur and Sherlock Holmes - against one another using their unique decks and abilities. Mondo also published the social deduction board game The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, a title based on the cult classic horror film directed by John Carpenter.
Players can get their hands on A Gentle Rain now for $22 (£15) from the Mondo Games Shop, with the title set to hit retail stores next month.

WOMEN'S DAY-IRAQ: Surviving Somehow Behind a Concrete Purdah
WASHINGTON — Iraq, where women once had more rights and freedom than most others in the Arab world, has turned deadly for women who dream of education and a professional career.
Former dictator Saddam Hussein maintained a relatively secular society, where it was common for women to take up jobs as professors, doctors and government officials. In today's Iraq, women are being killed by militia groups for not conforming to strict Islamist ways.
Basra police chief Gen. Jalil Hannoon told reporters and Arab TV channels in December that at least 40 women had been killed during the previous five months in that city alone.
"We are sure there are many more victims whose families did not report their killing for fear of scandal," Gen. Hannoon said.
The militias dominated by the Shia Badr Organisation and the Mehdi Army are leading imposition of strict Islamist rules. The Shia-dominated Iraqi government is seen as providing tacit and sometimes direct support to them.
The Badr Organisation answers to the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), the Shia bloc in the Iraqi government. The Mehdi army is the militia of anti-occupation Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
Women who do not wear the hijab are becoming prime targets of militias, residents both in Basra and Baghdad have told IPS in recent months. Many women say they are threatened with death if they do not obey.
"Militiamen approached us to tell us we must wear the hijab and stop wearing make-up," college student Zahra Alwan who fled Basra to Baghdad told IPS last December.
Graffiti in red on walls across Basra warns women against wearing make-up and stepping out without covering their bodies from head to toe, Alwan said.
"The situation in Baghdad is not very different," Mazin Abdul Jabbar, social researcher at Baghdad University told IPS. "All universities are controlled by Islamic militiamen who harass female students all the time with religious restrictions."
Jabbar said this is one reason that "many families have stopped sending their daughters to high schools and colleges."
In early 2007 Iraq's Ministry of Education found that more than 70 percent of girls and young women no longer attend school or college.
Several women victims have been accused of being "bad" before they were abducted, residents have told IPS in Baghdad. Most women who are abducted are later found dead.
The bodies of several have been found in garbage dumps, showing signs of rape and torture. Many bodies had a note attached saying the woman was "bad", according to residents who did not give their names to IPS.
Similar problems exist for women in Baquba, the capital city of Diyala province, 40 km northeast of Baghdad.
"My neighbour was killed because she was accused of working in the directorate-general of police of Diyala," resident Um Haider told IPS in January. "This woman worked as a receptionist in the governor's office, and not in the police. She was in charge of checking women who work in the governor's office."
Killings like this have led countless women to quit jobs, or to change them.
"I was head of the personnel division in an office," a woman speaking on condition of anonymity told IPS in Baquba. "On the insistence of my family and relatives, I gave up my position and chose to be an employee."
Women's lives have changed, and women are beginning to look different across most of Iraq. They are now too afraid to wear anything but conservative dresses — modern clothes could be a death warrant. The veil is particularly dominant in areas under the control of militias.
Women are paying a price for the occupation in all sorts of ways.
"Women bear great pain and risks when militants control the streets," Um Basim, a mother of three, told IPS in Baquba recently. "No man can move here or there. When a man is killed, the body is taken to the morgue. The body has to be received by the family, so women often go alone to the morgue to escort the body home. Some are targeted by militants when they do this."
Confined to home, many women live in isolation and depression.
"Women have nowhere to go to spend leisure time," Um Ali, a married woman in Baquba, told IPS. "Our time is spent only at home now. I have not travelled outside Baquba for more than four years. The only place I can go to is my parents' home. Housekeeping and children have been all my life; I have no goals to attain, no education to complete. Sometimes, I can't leave home for weeks."
In northern Kurdish controlled Iraq, 'honour killings' continue. In the ancient tradition of 'honour killing', the view is that a family's honour is paramount. As of last December, at least 27 Kurdish women were murdered on suspicion of having had 'illicit' affairs in the previous four months, according to Youssif Mohamed Aziz, the regional minister of human rights.
Iraqi women are not spared U.S. military prisons either. In December, Iraq's parliamentary committee for women's and children's affairs demanded the release of female detainees in Iraqi and U.S.-run prisons.
According to Nadira Habib, deputy head of the parliamentary committee, there are around 200 women detained in the Iraqi run al-Adala prison in Baghdad. Habibi says there are presumably women in U.S.-run prisons too. "But no one knows how many female detainees are now in prisons run by U.S. forces as they always refuse requests from our committee to visit them."
As the central government remains essentially powerless, and religious fundamentalism continues to grow across Iraq, it appears that the plight of Iraqi women will get worse.

BRIEF: U of L lifts mask mandate for fully vaccinated Cardinals
By Eli Hughes–
The University of Louisville announced on May 20 that masks will no longer be required on campus for individuals that are fully vaccinated. This announcement follows the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's decision to revise COVID-19 masking guidelines and Governor Andy Beshear's executive order that allows vaccinated Kentuckians to go unmasked in most situations.
"Effective immediately, fully vaccinated Cardinals are not required to mask in any setting on campus," the email announcement said. "The university strongly encourages all Cardinals to get vaccinated."
The university defines fully vaccinated as being at least two weeks out from the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or at least two weeks out from the single-dose Johnson & Johnson Vaccine.
The email reminded the U of L community to remain respectful of those who choose to continue to wear masks.
"Please remember that there are multiple reasons why some Cardinals are not getting vaccinated and others will prefer to stay masked and physically distanced on campus despite being fully vaccinated," the email said. "Cardinals should respect the privacy and space of those who are staying masked and distanced on campus."
The email went on to announce that U of L will be lifting travel restrictions for both domestic and international travel. There will still be an appeals policy for travel to areas designated as high risk and more details about the new travel policy can be found on U of L's study abroad page.
The email ended by saying that more information about the Fall 2021 semester will be released later in the summer.
"Remember, this continues to be an evolving situation and our plans may need to change depending on the latest guidance from the CDC and the state," the email said. "We will continue to keep you frequently updated and we look forward to safely building back our vibrant campus community with you this summer and fall."

Volunteers have been busy painting at Heather Jackson's home in Aurora! After some rescheduling, the mudding and taping was finally finished and ready to paint on after the start of the week. A great crew from Blue Cross/Blue Shield worked at Heather's home on Tuesday. They were able to complete the priming of the entire house that day! On Thursday, a class from Mesabi East High School spent the day painting over the primer. The class, which is focused on learning through service to others, broke into two groups to be able to be there through out the school day.
If you have a group that would like to volunteer, please contact the Habitat office at 866.749.8910.
