WHAT IS APOSTILLE AND LEGALISATION?
Legalisation of a document is the implementation of a certain number of formal procedures in order to make a document legal in the territory of another state. The ultimate goal of the document legalisation procedure issued on the territory of one State is to successfully submit it to the authorities of another State.
Document legalization is almost always required when a document needs to be submitted to the authorities of another State. This means that a document issued, for example, in Ireland, is legal only in the territory of Ireland, where it can be fully used. However, for its submission to the authorities of another country legalisation will be required.
The exceptions to this rule are certain types of documents that cannot be legalised, as well as in certain countries which have a bilateral agreement that abolishes the requirement of legalisation.
Legalization of a document is always carried out in the country in which it was issued and / or completed. Our translation agency Docsbase.com provides legalisation services for documents issued and/or executed worldwide.
IN WHAT CASES LEGALIZATION IS NOT REQUIRED?
Document legalization is not needed in three cases:
When the institution where you submit the document does not require its legalisation.
When there is a bilateral agreement between the origin State and the State in which you plan to use the document.
When the legalisation of the document cannot be performed because of the nature of the document.
In all other cases, the legalisation of the document for sending it abroad is required.
WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?
There are two basic types of document legalisation - Apostille seal and Consular legalisation. Choice of the type of legalization in each case depends on the destination country, in other words, the country where the document will subsequently be submitted.
The issuance of an Apostille stamp (sometimes this procedure is called "simplified legalization" or "Apostillisation ") is used for sending documents to the countries which have signed to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. This convention abolishes the requirement of consular legalization, effectively simplifying the procedure of legalization It is in force in all member States of the European Union and 10 members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
If you would like addition information regarding the apostille process, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
It is a more complicated procedure when document certification is required by Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a State or in a consular office of the respective country. Consular legalization makes your document valid only in the territory of the state which issued the apostille.
Also, the required legalisation procedure can differ based on document type because there are a number of documents that are subject to neither consular legalization nor Apostille legalisation. Mostly, these are commercial documents: contracts, invoices, bills of lading, and various product action documents and other documents connected with outward trade activities. For these, there is a separate procedure: the legalisation of documents in the Trade and Commerce Chamber and then in a consular office of the respective country.
Additionally, please note the following conditions:
Many countries are not participants of the Hague Convention, however, in some cases they accept documents that contain the Apostille seal; Sometimes, in the case of new country members signing to the Hague Convention, a number of participating countries may not recognize their inclusion, and thus, will not accept their documents

Looking through the mirror of the generations, its reflection reminds us that the years of our grandfathers, fathers, children and grandchildren pass onto each other the similarities of their faces, their subtle mannerisms, what brings them delight and joy.
While many generations try to deny what the mirror reveals as truth, may the eye of the beholder embrace the family history in their smile, the way they stand, and all the answers to who they are in these reflections.
Remembering a time when my great-grandfather, both sets of grandparents and father were still alive and me as a grown daughter with children of my own, I regret terribly not taking those small moments with them to record the details of my lineage through their memories and follow these woven threads that piece together the fabric of my life.
I would have loved to know how my grandparents and father celebrated Christmas as a child. What where their dreams, disappointments, regrets? To my great-grandfather, tell me about the Depression Era or going off to war? Of course it would behoove me not to ask about love, weddings and marriage back in the day, or uncover my grandmother's wedding dress hidden in her hope chest. Being known as a book of a million questions, I could cry for the history I didn't discover while these matriarch and patriarch pillars were still living for me to ask.
I see that silly smile worn by my son and grandson; both who could easily pass for carbon copies of each other in their antics.
Their grins tell a hilarious story all by itself.
I find it amazing that a child's love for their father's pick-up truck is passed on down like a family heirloom.
has revealed itself in my grandchildren when in a child's delight screams to their daddy while holding for life to their rope swing, GO HIGHER.
Don't listen to Gaga. GO HIGHER DADDY!!
Yes, they are so like their father.
Lord, help me prepare as the real adventure is yet to come for my grandchildren as my son and "son of a different mother" I claim knows no limits to the life of a thrill-seeker.
Turning back the pages of the family bible, I wonder about the grandfather who passed on his trait for wearing suspenders to the young child in my husband. Being raised in his grandfather's home, I'm sure their affection for each other was expressed in sharing this iconic fashion statement.
Even hobbies can be shared from generation to generation. My son's great uncle passed on his square of the family quilt to his nephew and great-nephew through beekeeping. Imagine raising bees becoming part of your heritage.
Generations pass on those coveted traditions that fill in the memories of our childhood. We remember the joyful moments; the faces we long to see again; the days of old and relive them again through the lives of our children and grandchildren. Like a father witnessing that coveted milestone in his son's first birthday, or a son sharing the same milestone when his father celebrates his sixtieth.
A father and son thirty years apart.
Dads being dads then sons growing up to be dads.
Dads taking on a new role as grandfather and great grandfather, and simply loving it.
We were created in His image that his character in our love, patience, kindness and faithfulness be seen and embraced by others.
Oh that we be found acting like our Father in a secret act of kindness.
Oh that our patience in a hard situation make our Father proud.
Oh that our Father finds us faithful to the "plough" when others have left their fields and fallen asleep.
Oh that the fullness of our heart overflow onto others that they might be drawn to the Father who loves them best.
Of course share this. That blesses me. Thank you.

Solar power is energy generated from the sun. Many electronic devices, such as watches and calculators, can use the sun's energy directly to provide the power they need. Light energy from the sun changes the electrical conducting properties of the silicon crystals, and a tiny electric current starts to flow. This system is called a solar cell. Although solar cells used on earth do not provide much power, satellites in space run on the same principle. They get many times more energy because they are closer to the sun. In the future, workers in space may build huge power stations from solar cells many kilometers wide. The electricity generated could be beamed down as microwaves and then converted back into electricity. Most of the solar power that we use today is based on a much simpler principle than the silicon solar cell. Solar panels on the roofs of houses heat water directly for bathing and central heating systems. The industrial version of the solar panel is the solar furnace, in which huge, curved solar panels, together with a system of mirrors, concentrate a large amount of solar energy onto a small area. The heat energy makes steam for generating electricity. Solar power is clean, renewable, non-polluting and does not damage the environment. It is potentially one of the more important sources of energy in the world. A major disadvantage of solar energy is that the amount of energy generated depends on the season, the part of the world and the weather on a particular day. Another disadvantage is that the raw materials for solar panels, such as glass and aluminium, are quite expensive.
Dr Greenhalgh explains how solar power works in two ways. Light from the sun can generate a tiny current in silicon crystals, creating a solar cell, which is used to run space satellites and in the future could provide electricity from space power stations. Solar panels, or the larger industrial solar furnace, generate heat directly through concentrating solar energy in a small area. Solar power is renewable, non-polluting and potentially an important energy source, but its value is limited by weather, region and the cost of raw materials.


Being alone is, we know, the best chance you have to be yourself, which is in turn the seed of integrity and of any possible originality.
My little lair in the beech forest was so dark overnight, bright stars shone through the tops of the thick canopy. It was slow start, but eventually things begin to glow as I pack up for my day's walk.
The trees gives way to tussock right away, but the trail is well defined – completely different to what I'm used to on the TA. The morning is absolutely silent but for wind through the grass and numerous babbling creeks feeding the east branch of the Ahuriri River, the main section of which I'll cross today, causing me to feel a bit jittery as I'm now walking alone.
But that's still many k away, and the 'new me' on this trail is taking her time, checking in with her emotions and remembering to breathe and get centered.
This section is stark, desolate and wildly beautiful reminding me of the Drakensberg Traverse in South Africa and Lesotho. Nothing feels steep or difficult up to a massive saddle, flat and expansive, surrounded by brooding peaks that somehow make me feel totally relaxed and at home. I decide not to walk fast, but rather saunter and enjoy having this place all to myself.
Most of the way, I'm in shade and happy to stay cool. The river valley dips into a sloping V, its steep sides like a shuffled deck of cards, taking turns peeking out. My walk is so relaxed, because I am, but also because the path is obvious, beaten down by many walkers. On the few moments when I can't find my way and look for an orange pole, it appears either too distant or placed in a completely useless position. The DOC worker responsible for acquiring orange poles checked the short box instead of tall as these are all hidden in the grass, a surprise when I stumble on one.
But for the most part, the trail is straight forward and I am grateful, though I still have squishy bog and rushing streams to cross, and I sink to my knees in quicksand right before I notice two hikers coming my way. They squint and look hot and I am grateful to be going south, with the sun nearly always at my back.
I ask them about the crossing ahead and they say it's doable, about hip high. Another NOBO approaches and gives me more detail on exactly where to cross with critical information that I will feel a big current right when I enter which will lessen as I cross.
I mention I crossed the Rangatiri and he laughs saying then I'll be fine. Two women tell me to face upstream and I tell them Kiwis say to face downstream and use the current. I wonder why they teach the complete opposite to us, though I'll stick with what works for now, I think, feeling a bit less anxious with so many successful crossers approaching.
Still more NOBO's come by me – nine in all – and I finally say I need to push ahead and get this over with, a bit overwhelmed by the number of thru-hikers in this group.
The trail goes on and on across grassy fields, finally turning towards the main channel. For just a spell, I slosh through marsh and lose any sense of trail, but it doesn't last long and I'm on hard ground again, the track worn smooth. This ancient wide riverbed was likely carved by glaciers but sees little water now and is, thankfully, free of hard-to-walk-on rock detritus like the Rangitata and other rivers I've walked through. I can just fly on this path, past a pine tree farm, all in neat rows, whisper-rustling in the wind.
I sing calming music to myself as I get closer, like Satie's Gymnopedie as well as powerful music like Beethoven's Ode to Joy – and I also ask for guidance and protection as I cross, and to make smart decisions.
The river cuts a giant channel about 50 or so feet below the path. I meet yet another NOBO who points at the exact spot he crossed, oddly having removed his shoes. He'll break that habit in the coming sections when the river becomes the trail.
I climb down to the rocky bank and find a spot just where the calm ends and the rapids begin. Indeed the water is deepest here and the current pushing hard, so I take my time placing my feet one at a time, and also poles one at a time.
Things feel familiar – and I feel strong – as I move across to the little rock island. The current lightens up in the shallower water and I snap a picture before easily crossing the next little section.
It's a short walk on rocks to a trail scrambling up the steep eroded cliff to the top again with spectacular views down the valley.
I have lunch in the grass, seagulls circling above complaining. Rain clouds develop over the biggest, glacier-laden peaks and the wind picks up.
Full and happy having taken on the TA's biggest (official) river crossing, as the Rangitata is considered a 'hazard zone,' I set off up the grassy slope towards a road crossing and onwards to a little hut I hope to sleep in tonight.
A few cars are parked ahead, one with a tarp flapping in the breeze. I say hello as I come closer and the couple asks if I'd like to sit down.
Better yet, these two are trail angels parked here to meet us hikers and give us a coke – and juice, bubbly water, crackers, cheese, avocados, chutney, and cookies, of which I have a huge helping, even though I just had lunch.
Keitha and Warwick are from Dunedin and hiked the Te Araroa a few years ago. They love this countryside, their trail and helping us fellow trampers feel good. They tell me they're surprised not more people do what they do and I told them I have been absolutely showered with care from Kiwis all along the trail.
Warwick asks me to forgive his personal question, pointing out I'm not a teenager, so why am I here. Keitha softens the edges telling me I look great and have lovely features. I laugh and say I love to hike and wanted to try a big one and see if I have what it takes to do it. Coming somewhere totally new excited me and I'm so glad I chose this trail, even if it's been difficult.
They ask if I think the trail is hard and I say yes, mostly because a lot of it is rough and hard to follow. They say that's what Kiwis are used to – likely because the population is so small, trails besides the Great Walks are minimally maintained. We speak about the couple at Crooked Spur hut and how unpleasant it felt to be with trampers who resented us. Warwick said they read about them on Facebook and feel bad about the incident, saying hiking is becoming more popular and people will need to accommodate that fact.
I eat way too much, share my blog address and SymphonyCast site before saying a huge thank you for such a generous act – and for a super time sitting in the shade enjoying the view of this stupendous valley. Warwick fills my water bottle and takes my garbage before they send me on my way, highlighting all their favorite places coming up. Their joy is genuine and it fills my spirit to share our love of this place. I leave full in my stomach and in my heart, proud to be a TA walker.
I wave goodbye and continue up the track meeting even more NOBO's and telling them a big surprise awaits – and now it's my turn to share beta on the river crossing. The trail comes into sheep country with sweeping mountain vistas and long snaking river valleys. I join an easy track and get completely lost in my thoughts planning a variety of projects I'll take up upon my return home in April. At first, I'm on a trail next to the river, where a clever hiker uses sheep bones to write 500 k. It faces south and is a milestone for NOBO's but means I am whittling away the kilometers, closing in on the end.
I feel in no hurry as I stroll from trail to a 4×4 track, which confuses me in my reverie and sends me off course. It's not wildly far, so rather than backtrack, I triangulate, discovering it's reasonably easy on this shorter grass as long as I avoid gullies.
I eventually find the right track and come to an historic muster's hut, paneled in tin with a beautiful wooden door. It's empty and I wonder if I'll have a second night all alone. I wash up, make dinner and pull a comfy armchair onto the lawn to eat and enjoy the view, completely covered head-to-toe as the sandflies come out.
It's dark now, but cloudy so only a few stars poke through. The wind is up rattling the tin as my stream sings a soft lullaby.
I have loved this day alone – not entirely as hikers calmed my nerves and trail angels reminded me why I'm here – but it was all up to me when to start, how fast to go, where to take breaks, whether it was safe to cross the river alone and where I'd end my day. Nothing today had the physical challenge of what I've walked in the past month, but my nerves were rattled by all I'd taken on. I was burning out, for sure, but also in a kind of daze wondering how I'd managed to do all that – was it just luck?
What I needed was a day like today where I took time to act deliberately and to savor everything, to feel empowered by each decision and find my footing again, as it were.
It's pure magic that I'm crawling into my sleeping bag in this old hut all by myself and can hold this day close as I close my eyes, resting up for whatever tomorrow brings.
Clearly trusting yourself is the best present to give .
ha! and snow this year! this last section was so good for me. Poured rain last night and super cloudy, but a flat lake walk to Wanaka. A HUGE trip this is in many ways. Saw baskets at Tekapo and Twizel! Rich arrives in one month!

Overview of Speech and Language Impairments
Article by:
Sarah Morales, BS
Children's Speech Care Center
Speech and language impairments include a variety of conditions that interfere with communication. Many of these disabilities are relatively rare or subtle in appearance, and the individual's lack of any visible abnormalities may further disguise speech and language impairments. Before describing these disorders in more detail, I will define "speech" and "language" as speech-language pathologists (specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of speech and language disorders) define these terms. Language is a socially shared, rule-governed code used for communication. Speechis the audible, oral output of language. Language is not limited to oral expression however—it occurs in written form (or through use of gestures and alternative methods of communication for those who are low verbal or nonverbal) and within the brain in one's thoughts.
Speech and language impairments may occur separately in a person, or the individual may demonstrate both types of impairments; to further complicate matters, this distinction is usually not easy to make. A speech impairment affects spoken language. Examples of this include stuttering (repeating syllables or words, prolonging sounds, or "blocking" on a word or sound), phonological or articulation disorders (inability to say sounds properly), speech in the hearing impaired (speech may be difficult to understand, nasal-sounding, unusual in pitch or rhythm), apraxia(facial grimaces or unusual movements may accompany speech, such as groping to produce sounds, syllables, and words; difficulty planning and sequencing movements for speech within the brain; speech may be unintelligible, or not understandable), etc. Voice disorders affect the sound of the voice itself (i.e. hoarseness, breathy voice, strained/tense voice). Such disorders are often caused by changes in the shape of the vocal cords (e.g., swelling of the vocal cords, growths on the vocal cords such as vocal nodules). A language impairment affects the understanding of language (receptive language disorder), the formulation of an utterance (saying what one intends to say–expressivelanguage disorder), or both. Receptive and expressive abilities may be impaired together such as in a disorder called developmental language delay in toddlers and preschoolers or language learning disability in school-aged children. A child who is unable to talk (called a nonverbal child) may have good receptive language abilities. In contrast, a child who is able to express his/her thoughts well may have difficulty following directions. Reading/writing disabilities (e.g., dyslexia) are also types of language disorders. Persons with learning disabilities may also exhibit difficulties comprehending language or expressing themselves with language.
The disabilities discussed above are considered linguistic in nature, meaning that they are directly related to language and speech. Some disorders involve other difficulties or abnormalities while also affecting speech and language. For example, mental retardation impairs brain functioning in general, and thus the learning of speech and language will be delayed (e.g. Down Syndrome, possibly Fragile X syndrome, which is a genetically based disorder often involving an intellectual disability). Autism impairs learning, processing, communication and social functioning—such issues impact language and/or speech. Physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy or cleft palate can also affect speech and language. A stroke or head injury may affect areas of the brain responsible for generating and understanding speech and language.
In conclusion, the field of speech-language pathology is diverse and complex. Only a speech-language pathologist can accurately and thoroughly diagnose and treat speech and language impairments. These professionals are available in the public schools, hospitals, university clinics, or private practice clinics. Several websites also offer valuable information regarding speech-language pathologists' duties (www.asha.org) and types of speech and language impairments (www.speech-language-therapy.com).

Anderson Cooper slams Trump's press conference with Putin as 'disgraceful'
An accurate description of what just went down.
By Heather Dockray on July 16, 2018
After President Donald Trump and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's historic joint press conference(Opens in a new window) in Helsinki this afternoon, a few strong words began to circulate on Twitter: "indefensible(Opens in a new window)," "puppet(Opens in a new window)," and "treasonous(Opens in a new window)," for example.
If those words haven't given you an ulcer yet, consider what CNN's Anderson Cooper had to say at the close of the pair's joint remarks.

"You have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president at a summit in front of a Russian leader certainly that I've ever seen," Cooper told viewers.
He's not wrong. Between Trump(Opens in a new window)'s refusal to criticize Putin and his denial of the findings of his own intelligence agencies, the entire conference was jaw-dropping, even by Trump standards.
Thanks to Cooper for properly summing it up.

Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel, "Vergoldete Bronzen", 1986, p 318, pl. 5 b, illustrating a design for a single clock case by Charles Percier of circa 1800, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts at Rennes, which is identical to each of the present clock plinths.
Caroline Clifton-Mogg, "The Neoclassical Source Book", 1991, p. 113, illustrating an almost identical bureau clock by Lesieur, dated 1819 but with gilt bronze and malachite case.
A superb Empire gilt bronze and porphyry astronomical bureau clock by Lesieur à Paris of eight day duration, signed on the left hand dial cartouche: Lesieur and on the right: à Paris, the left hand dial with outer white enamel chapter ring with Roman numerals and a pair of blued steel Breguet-style hands for the hours and minutes, centred by a superb light blue and gilt star-studded lunar dial with painted moon and upper markings for the 29 ½ days in the lunar month, the right hand dial with outer white enamel chapter ring marked with the names of the months of the year beside the corresponding number of days in each month and inner Arabic numerals 1-31 for the calendar month, with a fine pair of blued steel pointers for the calendar indications, centred by a light blue and gilt star-studded subsidiary dial inscribed with the names of the days of the week around its edge with a fixed pointer above, where it is inscribed: Jours de la semaine.
With its rare porphyry base, this type of dual bureau clock and calendar, appears to be a speciality of the Parisian clockmaker Lesieur (fl. 1790-1850). His name appears on the dial of several near identical examples including one from 1819, with the plinths and base encased in malachite but having identical mounts though lacking the surmounting tazzas, which was sold by this gallery (illustrated in "Richard Redding Masterpieces of the Past", 1996, p. 5). The design for each of the plinth-shaped cases is from a pen and ink design by Charles Percier (1764-1838) for a single but almost identical clock case (now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts at Rennes); it features the same flaming torches, oak leaf swags below the dial and scrolling mount at the foot of the plinth but has the added inscription below the dial: Douce amité sous votree Empire/Le Temps à fixé de Bonheur/Vous êtes la raison du coeur/L'amour n'en est que le delire.
Charles Percier together with his friend and collaborator, Pierre Fontaine (1762-1853), were Napoleon's chief architects and ornementalistes and were the main inspiration behind the creation of the Empire style. After they had transformed Joséphine's apartments at Malmaison, Napoleon employed them to create a complete artistic style in keeping with his role as Emperor. Percier and Fontaine designed everything from buildings and interior decorations to furniture, silver and clocks. After the fall of Napoleon, they continued to enjoy official patronage but tended to work independently of one another.
Lesieur was a highly respected but little documented clockmaker who was working in Paris during the last years of the eighteenth century and continued in business up until circa 1850. Tardy notes that by 1806 he was established at Vieille rue du Temple; during 1812-20 and 1830-50 he was at rue de la Verrerie and in 1840 at Boulevard St. Martin. Elsewhere in the Paris almanacs he is recorded at Bar-du-Bec in 1839 and in 1840 at rue des Alexiens. In addition to the present example Lesieur and G. Mayer provided the movements for an interesting pair of figural clocks featuring female and male classical warriors seated upon a canon, in which one with dial signed Lesieur à Paris, indicates the calendar indications and the other, which is signed G. Mayer à Chalon-sur-Saône, indicates the hours and minutes (illustrated in Pierre Kjellberg, "La Pendule Française du Moyen Age au XXe Siècle", 1997, p. 410, pl. E).
Lesieur's name also appears on a number of equally complex and important clocks, counting among them a mantle clock showing signs of the zodiac with marble columns of 1807-8, in the Hôtel de l'Intendance de la Généralité de Metz, Moselle (originally the Préfecture de la Moselle et de la Région Lorraine). The latter is probably a pair to another identical clock by Lesieur in the Château de Nymphenburg in Bavaria. Lesieur also made the movements for a variety of other clocks, from a late Louis XVI Sèvres porcelain lyre clock to Empire figural clocks. Among them is one featuring Jason and the Golden Fleece which is housed at the Musée de la Malmaison in the appartements de Joséphine de Beauharnais. During the Restauration he also collaborated with the Parisian firm of bronziers Choiselat-Gallien who worked for the Garde-Meuble and were appointed to Monsieur, Frère du Roi.

UK recognized as a Military Friendly School
By Ryan Girves Sept. 20, 2022
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 20, 2022) — For Harry Smith, Lexington native and mechanical engineering and mathematics major, it all started in 2015 with free printing services.
"Coming out of the service I initially tried to avoid interacting with the veteran scene, but when I heard of the free printing opportunities, I was intrigued by the Veterans Resource Center (VRC)," Smith said.
Housed in the Office for Student Success, the University of Kentucky Veterans Resource Center — located in the Republic Bank VRC facility — works to ensure that student veterans have a smooth transition to college by providing support, community and resources.
After Smith slowly continued to come around, he realized all that the VRC could offer him, outside of free printing services.
"The VRC has provided me with financial, educational and networking opportunities that have really helped with my transition into college and the workforce," Smith said. "The thing about the VRC is that there is always someone in that office who has been where you currently are, they've taken those classes and can pass on the techniques and tips necessary to succeed here on campus."
Jerone Capili, neuroscience major and biology minor from the Philippines, has had similar success with the VRC.
"I wanted to meet other veteran students, so I went to Erickson Hall to see what the VRC had to offer, and the rest is history," Capili said. "They have great staff whose sole purpose is to help you succeed at UK."
UK students aren't the only ones taking notice.
Recently, UK earned the 2022-2023 Bronze Level Military Friendly® Schools designation and the Military Friendly Spouse Schools designation.
The Military Friendly Schools survey is the longest-running most comprehensive review of college and university investments in serving military and veteran students. Award-level schools have gone above and beyond the standard, showing true commitment and dedication in their efforts to support military students.
"Earning both the Bronze Level of the Military Friendly® Schools designation and the Military Spouse Friendly Schools designation is very meaningful to me," Beth Austin, director of the VRC, said. "In my time as director of the VRC, I have heard continual pledges of support and gratitude for our student veterans and military-connected students from UK leadership, colleagues and students. Now we have third-party confirmation that the University of Kentucky is a welcoming and supportive institution for military veterans and military spouses.
"I am grateful for the partnership with my colleagues from Institutional Research, Analytics and Decision Support (IRADS), Chris Thuringer and Kim Wielgus, as we worked together and carefully considered a wide variety of data as we prepared this year's Military Friendly Schools survey."
Institutions earning the Military Friendly Schools designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution's survey responses and government/agency public data sources within a logic-based scoring assessment, then measuring the institution's ability to meet and exceed thresholds for retention, graduation, job placement, repayment, persistence and loan default rates for all students and specifically, for student veterans.
Over 1,800 schools participated in the 2022-2023 survey, 665 schools earned award-level designations in Gold, Silver and Bronze for their leading practices, outcomes and effective programs.
"I have heard the VRC referred to as 'a hidden gem' and 'the best-kept secret' on campus. I want the VRC and the supportive resources and services we provide to be well-known to all student veterans and military-connected students at UK," Austin said. "I have devoted my entire career to working with the military community, and I am excited to be able to do this work here at UK. My plan is to listen carefully to our veteran military-connected population and to continue to expand the programming and resources that best fit their needs. This is a challenge I am delighted and honored to accept."
UK also recently ranked in the Top 100 of the Military Times Best for Vets Employers rankings. In its 13th year, the Military Times' Best for Vets Employers rankings are based on the results of a voluntary survey that covers the policies and practices that make companies an attractive place to work for current employees and future job seekers within the military community, taking an analysis of a company's efforts to recruit, retain and support current and former service members, military spouses and military caregivers.
While outside recognition is a great indicator of the effectiveness of university programming, it is testimonies like Smith's and Capili's that illustrate the commitment of the VRC to serving the military community, and it is the people in the office who truly move the needle on what is possible.
"Every visitor to the VRC is warmly greeted by a friendly smile every time, and every effort is made to provide the assistance that every visitor needs," Austin said. "That is the 'secret sauce' that makes UK stand out as a military-friendly school."
The Republic Bank VRC is located on the ground floor of Erickson Hall. Thanks to the Republic Bank Foundation, the VRC has recently undergone a renovation and expansion, allowing for improved support for UK's military and veteran populations.

Recently, I heard an amazing story of how God used my novel, Blind Sight, to turn someone's life around. After hearing this story, even if I never sell another book, I'll feel fulfilled as a writer.
At about 3 a.m. on March 1st of last year, two young men broke into Terry Caffey's home in Emory, Texas. They shot Terry and killed his wife, Penney, and then went upstairs and murdered the Caffey's two young sons, Bubba and Tyler. They then set fire to the house and left the family for dead. Although he had been shot twelve times, Terry escaped through the bathroom window and crawled three hundred yards to a neighbor's house. To make matters worse, Terry's daughter Erin was implicated in the crime. Overnight, Terry Caffey lost his entire family.
As he stood there, Terry noticed a burned scrap of paper standing up against the trunk of a nearby tree. He went over and picked it up. The paper was part of a page from my novel, Blind Sight. The edges of the page were scorched and it was difficult to read. But the words were like a direct message to Terry from God.
Justine's voice reverberated through his thoughts: Maybe God knew we needed you.
Thomas closed the drapes and stood alone in the dark room. For the first time in two years, he was at peace with God and with himself. He knew what he had to do. Justine and her children would be safe, even if he had to die to make sure of it.
Because the page was only partially preserved, Terry didn't know what book it had come from until a few weeks ago. He spoke one Sunday morning at Greenville Bible Church, and my daughter, Charlene, was present in the congregation. [She and Terry's daughter, Erin, are good friends.] Charlene and Terry both had lunch at pastor Jim Corbet's house, and Terry told them that he'd love to find out which book the page had come from. The pastor and his wife had both read Blind Sight and they thought they recognized the passage. Charlene agreed that it sounded like it had come from my novel. Pastor Corbet took his copy of Blind Sight down and they eventually found the page.
That same afternoon, Terry called and shared the story with me. Tears streamed down my face as I listened to a story that is nothing short of a miracle of God's providence. Not only had the house burned, but the site had been long since cleaned up and the debris bulldozed and hauled off. What little material was left had been exposed to the weather for at least a month. And out of a nearly 400-page book, the only scrap that remained was a brief passage where a man who had lost a wife and two children came to grips with the sovereign goodness of God, submitted to His will, and decided to move forward.
That scrap of paper lay there against a tree trunk as if waiting for Terry Caffey: a man who had lost his wife and two sons, a man who was in deep despair and who was contemplating suicide, a man who desperately needed to come to grips with the sovereign goodness and mercy of God.
Needless to say, I am deeply humbled to have been the one who wrote the words that God chose to use. What an incredible, awesome God we serve!
–Is that amazing or what?
Terry and I just signed a contract with Tyndale to write a book about how God worked through this terrible tragedy, and has brought good from it. The only hitch is they want to release in September, so I'm writing my little fingers to the bone. The manuscript must be ready by June 15th. The current working title is Terror by Night.

Q: How to convert 16 bit PCM data into float in python? I'm new to python and Raspberry pi. I'm involved in a project, where I have to embed a bit stream to a wav file. At first I opened the wav file and it is a 2 channel, 16 bit wav file. In order to change the sample values I should convert these sample values into float. I tried a code. But when I run the module, it gives errors as "name struct" isn't defined. And also here I have tried to convert data into integers, since i don't know how to convert into float.If someone can help me to correct this program or suggest another code, then it will be a great help. Thank you.
from struct import unpack
import numpy as np
import wave

wavfile = wave.open('/home/pi/desktop/codes/mysong.wav','r')
number_of_frames = wavfile.getnframes()
no_channels = wavfile.getnchannels()
raw_data = wavfile.readframes(number_of_frames)

total_samples = number_of_frames * no_channels
fmt = "%ih" % total_samples
integer_data = struct.unpack(fmt,raw_data)

A: As @jonrsharpe said, you either :
# if using from ... import ...
from struct import unpack
...
# then change this to
integer_data = unpack(fmt,raw_data)

...

# if using import ...
import struct
...
# then this will work fine
integer_data = struct.unpack(fmt,raw_data)

But do not mix & match the imports together.

Amos Street Child, On Her Terms, Cheka Sana Tanzania
Tom Merilion
"I've never seen women overtake men before!" declared Mary as we sat and reflected on the race later that day. This run meant many other things for these girls too — it was the first time any of them had left Mwanza or flown on a plane, let alone completing the race and being awarded their medals! Amos Street Child lead worker Karin Joseph describes running the first Zanzibar Marathon with four new friends.
As dawn broke on a Sunday in early February and the calls to prayer floated over Stonetown's crumbling rooftops, we were tying our shoelaces and warming up to prepare for the Zanzibar Half. "Kimbia Bila Shaka" — "Run without fear" was the race slogan for this, first-ever, women's rights half-marathon, to be held on Zanzibar.
Our all-female group, made up of four teenage girls from Amos Street Child partner Cheka Sana Tanzania, together with Kissa, their lead social worker at Cheka Sana, and myself and fellow Amos staff member Azey, were nervous as we set out under a punishing sun.
Joyce, Mary, Khadija, and Zulfa ran powerfully. All four girls, aged between thirteen and sixteen, have spent time surviving on the streets of Mwanza before accessing intensive support from Cheka Sana and beginning the difficult but profoundly important process of reunification work with their families. All are now living full-time, or almost full-time, back with family members.
"I've never seen women overtake men before!" declared Mary as we sat and reflected on the race later that day. This run meant many other things for these girls too — it was the first time any of them had left Mwanza or flown on a plane, let alone completing the race and being awarded their medals!
This is the film we made while in Tanzania and Zanzibar with filmmaker Tom Merilion.
A few days before they had experienced another first: being given birth certificates, enabling them to make the trip but also, vitally, giving each of them a legal identity. Cheka Sana's impressive team works every day across the city to support children who live or work on the streets.
For 7 to 14-year-olds, they offer short-term residential support and intensive family reintegration work to help them make the transition back to living at home. For older teenage girls and young women, many involved in commercial sex work, a model of collective support known as 'association groups' has proved very effective.
Girls form support groups of around fifteen people and go through a process of group building, leadership and finally investment in a micro-business of their own choosing. There are sixteen groups currently supported by Cheka Sana; thirteen made up of girls and young women. One of the association groups, this one made up of boys still living full-time on the streets, shared their group motto with us as they welcomed us into their weekly meeting in a disused shop-front downtown: "One Day - Yes"!
We asked them why they had chosen this — and they told us that it reminded them of their hope that despite their current circumstances, one day, yes they would make a success of themselves. All group sessions begin with a 'community meeting', where everyone introduces themselves and shares with the group how they are feeling today — green, yellow or red so that all emotions in the room are acknowledged by everyone else. Often, a guided meditation followed.
Here Come The Girls!

These beautiful moments of calm felt grounding and spiritual, and despite how the mood in the room had been minutes before, brought a welcome sense of peace to young lives that have been too defined by chaos. On Saturday mornings, shouts of "Hapana!" ("No!" in Swahili) echo around the classroom. Nyangi, a social worker, and self-defence trainer is leading a group of eleven girls in their weekly self-defence class.
Self-defence classes are one of Cheka Sana's most significant interventions with the girls and young women they support. These 7 to 14-year-olds are currently living at the Cheka Sana girls' centre, whilst the afternoon class is held nearby for older teenagers and young women, many of whom are involved in commercial sex work. Many are mothers, and bring their babies to the class, taking it in turns to participate or sit with their small children.
As a girl, feeling powerful enough to yell the word "no" is a radical step. For any young person (but particularly girls) in Tanzanian culture, 'no' is not a word they are allowed to feel comfortable using with their elders, or men. For many of the girls taking part in self-defence, the most transformative aspect of these sessions is recognising that no man has the right to claim their body, despite what may have happened to them in the past.
Some continue for the present time in commercial sex work, but with renewed control over their situation and thechoices they make about their bodies and their clients. Despite this, it was noticeable that the older girls were more reluctant to use the full power of their voices; there was a sense that they had already absorbed the cultural norm — women should be quiet and submissive. Their eyes remained downcast, and their visions for their future felt quite limited in comparison to the optimism that many of the younger girls expressed.
Group building, leadership and, investment
Girls form support groups of around fifteen people and go through a process of group building, leadership and finally investment in a micro-business of their own choosing.
There's not a country in the world where girls and women have more, or even equal, opportunities to boys and men. Yes, 2017 saw high-profile feminist movements start (predominantly in the west) highlighting abuses women have experienced at the hands of powerful men. However, these movements have rarely made the space to include the women and girls who most urgently require such acts of solidarity — such as the young women supported by Cheka Sana.
Teenage girls on the street are so often there because of abuses they have suffered at the hands of the men they should have been able to trust the most. Once on the streets, they continue to be treated with no value or dignity. All of society rejects them or defines them by what others have done to them — from those who walk past them on the streets, to their families who often want no more to do with them.
Their stories are hard to hear, and their circumstances may feel too challenging to even begin to change. In Mwanza, Cheka Sana's all-female leadership team shared how proud they are of their successes in their intensive family work with boys and the younger girls, but for the older teenage girls, they yearn for new and more effective solutions. This is by no means unique to Cheka Sana, all our partners have shared the challenges their teams face with the girls they wish to support on the streets.
When girls don't make the decisions that the workers expect, or when trusting relationships take too long to build, those supporting them can often feel dejected and helpless to continue. Progress may not always look how we expect and learning to journey with these young women is part of the process.
We started this journey running; alongside teenage girls who've lived on the streets, in solidarity with women and girls. 'One day, yes' — we want children on the streets to be able to claim their rights — and teenage girls, who so often fall through the gaps in human rights agendas, not to be left behind but to be at the centre.

Simple Matrix Free Operators
============================

PyOp is a framework for creating Linear Operators in a functional form.
Operators specified in this format have a few benefits.

- The memory to store the operator can be much smaller. For example,
  an image reconstruction done by the authors used to require storing
  a `sparse` marix that was over 150 GB. With this matrix free version,
  the amount of space went down to kilobytes.
- The time to perform an operation can be greatly reduced. In the same
  image reconstruction problem, converting only one of the operations
  to a matrix free linear operator, while using a gradient descent
  algorithm, reduced the computation time by an order of magnitude.
- For some (although by no means all) morphisms it is simpler to
  describe the operation in a function based form than converting the
  operation into a matrix.
- The matrix free operators can be converted back into matrices easily
  should the need for certain numerical tools be required (factorizations),
  although many facilities are provided that work on matrix free inputs.

This package makes it simple to create matrix free linear operators. Perhaps
more importantly, it provides simple composition tools, allowing operators
to be chained together with the same tools one would find in a matrix
package (for example, adding operators or creating block operators).

Tutorials
---------

Creating matrix free linear operators is straight forward, but a few
conditions must be kept in mind in order to make the most of this package.
The following tutorials walk through these conditions and an example of
creating an operator.

The Guinness Book of World Records says that « the greatest unsolved robbery » was the disappearance of the entire German treasury at the end of the war.
Deutschkatharinenberg (GERMANY) – An expedition is organized, slowly and secretly, to lay hands on a set of paintings and art objects supposedly hidden by the Nazis. The Hatvany collection could well be found.
A radar sensor has since proven the existence of a secret room, fifty meters underground in old mine workings of the Ore Mountains, a chain of cobalt and silver between the Czech Republic of Germany. An expedition is about to be launched in June to unravel the mystery.
Art historians have been excited for this search. The collection of Baron Ferenc Hatvany rich Hungarian industrial looted by the Nazis for his Jewish origins, is indeed famous. This is to maintain freedom that the collector handed, forced to Adolf Eichmann. If a party has been found after the war, paintings by Monet, Manet and Cézanne, sculptures and precious tapestries have not been revised since cataloged works, all of which is now estimated at more than one billion euros, could be in the mine. Protected from contacts outside the stable environment of the mine lets hope a good state of preservation.
At their peak in 1949, the United States holds half of all the gold ever mined in history, almost 22,000 tons. While the world is difficult to extirpate the Great Depression, a new crisis is making great strides. It threatens the entire civilization. Adolf Hitler came to power when Germany was still shaky from its defeat in the First World War. Its gold reserves are empty and worthless currency. Having promised to return the country to its original glory, Hitler began to rebuild the German Empire. To do this, he needs gold. It is essential to understand that the gold reserves of Germany in 1939 are not huge, about 200 million and they were already heavily engaged in particular in the construction of the German war machine. Moreover, the country can not afford to buy manufactured goods abroad or basic raw materials with its weak Reichsmark. His only alternative is gold.
Also, as and when she walks in Europe, the German army plundered the way the gold reserves of nations. In 1938, Czechoslovakia with its $ 30 million in gold, Poland in 1939 with $ 85 million in gold. In fact, it started in 1938 with the Anschluss in Austria. They first took the gold of the Austrians, and in 1939 they took over the Czech reserves finishing occupy Czechoslovakia, and the beginning of the war, whenever they had mastered a country , they looted gold.
Most of Hitler's loot is stored in the vaults of the Reichsbank in Berlin. But the tide was turning for the Reich that will last a thousand years. Intensive day and night bombings by Allied forces systematically destroy Hitler's war machine by hitting the heart, that is to say by destroying industrial infrastructure itself built on the stolen gold.
February 3, 1945 more than 900 bombers unleash nearly 2,300 tons of bombs on Berlin. The city is reduced to the state of ashes and ruins, the Reichsbank was virtually destroyed. In February 1945, what remained of the gold reserves at the Reichsbank was probably loaded onto trucks by prisoners, probably French, and transported to Merkers south of Germany.
This spring 1945, the Third Army of General Patton ahead of Germany as a juggernaut. On April 4, it enters the city of Merkers. Rumors are circulating about a secret cargo recently arrived in Berlin and was hidden close by, in a potassium mine. Out of curiosity, several GI decided to go investigate. Upon leaving the elevator, eight hundred feet below, they come face to face with a huge steel door. It sends a message to Patton, what should we do? Patton's response: « saute the door. » The genius was about to blow the door, someone has made a half-stick of dynamite enough to blow up the wall right next to it without having to worry for the vault.
General Bradley, Patton and Eisenhower at the incredible discovery.
In the rest room more than 7,000 bags neatly stacked. What Americans are inside is so amazing that three of the most powerful men in the world want to see with their own eyes. George Patton, Bradley and his superior Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. The cream has moved to a scene out of the ordinary. More than 8,000 bars of gold ingots, 2,000 bags of gold coins: Reichsmarks, the English sovereigns, napoleons, U.S. dollar coins 20 gold and hundreds of bags of gold coins coming from other countries. Advancing towards the bottom of the mine, Patton discovered the cache of a sinister booty.
While the back of the room consisted of property that had been stolen from victims of the concentration camps. There was a stack of suitcases filled with silverware, alliances, gold teeth. Each bag, box or trunk had been carefully cataloged and stamped with a label marked Melmer. Melmer was a German SS officer who did the back and forth with the concentration camps to pick up everything he could as gold teeth, wedding rings, gold watches to the route to Berlin. During the war, he had been like that at least 77 shipments containing the fruits of his plunder.
This kind of ingot is found more commonly in Argentina in safes.
Assets brought to account Melmer then figure more than one million U.S. dollars. Today this amount exceeds the billion, but this discovery is still only the visible part of the iceberg. At the end of the war, the Germans looted for about $ 580 million in gold through the occupied countries. Thereupon, an estimated value of $ 450 million in gold during the war transferred to Switzerland and to other countries.
In 1946, he was given the gold to an international commission to quantify the damage to victims of the Holocaust. The surplus is given to an Allied Commission that redistributes the stolen nations. Europe is devastated and falls painfully the Second World War. The United States appear as the richest country in history. To rebuild their economy, war-torn nations are forced to buy dollars. Their payment is gold. As a result, the gold reserves of the United States are soaring.
The biggest share is stored in five levels in Manhattan vaults of the Federal Reserve. At the time, there was in the basement of Manhattan probably about a quarter or a third of all the gold mined in the mines.
Relying on such a quantity of gold, the dollar is the strongest currency in the world during this period. Countries settle their debts in dollars and governments can exchange their dollars for gold.
The power transfer is made from Nazi Germany to the United States of America, but we are in 2013 and the Chinese Communists, became more capitalist than capitalism itself quietly take over.
To understand how much wealth and gold came out of Germany since 1945, it is to follow the route of the ace elite SS commando Otto Skorzeny.
It was long believed that the express request of the Führer, he multiplied missions behind enemy lines. The most spectacular of them, the Greif operation was to create a group of American soldiers forged in order to sow confusion in the rear lines of the Allies during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and operating one of the first false flag attacks of the war. it is even feared that he Att to assassinate the Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, U.S. General Eisenhower.
Otto Skorzeny was related to the concentration camp at Oranienburg Sachsenhausen according to the testimony of French deportees who appear in the book Sachso, book published by the friendly Sachsenhausen in 1982 Edition human Earth.
Towards the end of the war, he participated in the creation of Die Spinne (Spider), responsible for ensuring the good old SS flight to Italy.
At the end of the war, it is Obersturmbannführer and for his exploits, decorated with oak leaves German.
At the German surrender in 1945, he was imprisoned for his Nazi activities, but was acquitted of the charges against him. Use the uniforms of enemy soldiers is an act forbidden by various treaties of war, but he was pardoned as an English officer Forest Yeo-Thomas confirmed on the final day of the trial of Otto Skorzeny, the British had also previously used this method to infiltrate prisons in France, to deliver some of them.
After the war, Skorzeny fled to Franco's Spain. He became head of treasury Nazi war without Hitler's knowledge made by Martin Bormann in 1944. His own organization, Bruderschaft (the « Brotherhood »), turns into ODESSA (« Organization of the former SS members », an organization that was responsible for managing the funds recovered by the former SS and permits and provide materially their future life).
In 1953, Skorzeny was sent by former General Reinhard Gehlen in Egypt as military adviser General Mohammed Naguib. With General Wilhelm Fahrmbacher and several former Nazis such Oskar Munzel, former general Panzer Division, Leopold Gleim, former head of the bodyguard of Hitler, Joachim Daemling, former head of the Gestapo in Dusseldorf and Dr. Hans Eisele camp Buchenwald, he structure of the military and police forces in the country, resulting in the first Palestinian commandos.
In 1963, the Mossad learned that one of his former subordinates, H.Mann is responsible for the safety of German scientists working for Egypt in the development of non-conventional weapons. Mossad tries to recruit Skorzeny, who accepts in exchange for a commitment from the Israelis not to seek to remove later. Thanks to him, the Mossad harvest important information on the structure and the scientific program of Egyptian research. The failure of one will lead to the end of its collaboration with hébreu910 State.
In 1970, he created with Gerhard von Hartmut Schubert organization of anti-Franco struggle based in Spain, which carries out attacks and recruiting mercenaries Paladin group. He also indulged in arms trafficking, through his company Atlantico, located in Franco's Spain.
He died July 6, 1975 of cancer in Madrid. He married Ilse von Finkenstein second marriage.
This is Martin Bormann had organized the transfer to Argentina at the end of the war. Indeed, some authors asserted that the treasure had been stolen by the Germans Peron couple who had welcomed with open many war criminals arm. The author has stepped into the breach by imagining that the treasure was hidden in the tomb of Eva Perón.
Others believe that Bormann had survived as Soviet spy and he continued to advise the Soviets after the war.
Many controversies remain about the death of Bormann. Indeed, some question the analyzes of the teeth of the skeleton and DNA analysis.
Personalities as the son of Adolf Eichmann or Simon Wiesenthal (the latter in the final chapter of The Murderers Among Us, published in 1967) claimed that he was alive in South America, particularly in Paraguay.
It is a museum dedicated to the counterfeit money found part of the money made by the services of SS.
Part of the German war chest will be manufactured by the German themselves are counterfeits made by false Jewish coin « engaged » by the SS.
The Operation Bernhard is the name of the German project to destabilize the British economy during the second world war by flooding the country of fake banknotes of £ 5, £ 10, £ 20 and £ 50.
The project started in 1942, led by SS Major Bernhard Krüger rising a team of 142 counterfeiters selected from prisoners of Sachsenhausen. The first job is to write detailed plates reproducing the pattern of the ticket, and then make the watermarked paper and finally crack the code for generating the authentic serial numbers. Tickets and made part of the finest ever fake products, it is very difficult to distinguish true.
The initial plan to drop these counterfeits by air over England can not be put into practice and the tickets are used for the purchase of goods or to pay German agents as famous Elyesa Bazna (Cicero) that had managed to photograph documents on the landing.
These counterfeits are detected by the Bank of England, when an employee noticed in its records that the same serial number had been used on two different tickets. Total is 8,965,080 counterfeits that were made for a total of £ 134,610,810. After the evacuation of Sachsenhausen camp in April 1945, the team of counterfeiters is transferred to Redl-Zipf in Austria, an annex of the Mauthausen camp, then in Ebensee. In early May 1945 the performance of the team is ordered, but the camp was liberated by U.S. forces on May 5, 1945, provides for their lives.
Some tickets were found in 1959 by divers in Lake Toplitz near Ebensee, others continued to circulate in England for years ….
It is obvious that the best carrier to evacuate the German treasure was and remains the U-977.Peu matter what the rationalists say, it is the essential link.
In the sparkling waters off Mar del Plata, Argentina, the bow of a submarine breaking the surface. Appears when the U-977, commanded by Captain Heinz Schäffer. He stops as dead in the water until the Argentine cruiser Belgrano docks. Schäffer then is routed to the edge of Belgrano and puts his ship and crew.
While Schäffer was a « guest » aboard the Belgrano, the newspaper El Dia in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo ran to the front of the story, claiming that the U-977 had landed first near Comodoro Rivadavia in the south of Argentina.
The President of Argentina, Juan Domingo Peron, took the report seriously enough to have actually lead Schäffer in Buenos Aires and the question … personally.
Not a single document recognizes the skill and endurance that had happened to make this first long trip in a submarine under such conditions. No, every news story, all reports, feature article and rumors on the same theme stale old gave Heinz Schäffer.Comment reason could he have moved as far as Hitler … without witnesses?
Thus, with Heinz Schäffer flesh before them, it was natural that these gentlemen, Peron and Trumann, should be sure of them and almost everything to retrieve information about the Führer, they were so eager to capture him alive despite the fact that he had so long been reported dead.
« Otto Wehrmut, commander of U-530, was suddenly brought face to face with me, and then we found ourselves in the same room. We had never met before, but we saw at once that it was all part of a plan. They hoped that in the first wave of our meeting we were happy reunion until we forget ourselves as to discuss in front of all their dictaphones, history of interior an escape and a ghost train.
The U-530 sailed to Argentina after completing a dangerous secret mission in the waters near the United States at the beginning of April 1945. It was the will of his commander, Otto Wermuth, to go to Argentina rather than any other of the Allies. Wermuth was not involved in the load operation.
The boat went to Mar del Plata, July 10, 1945. All newspapers, code books, documents, guns, torpedoes and ammunition had been dropped overboard in advance and there was even an attempt to sabotage the diesels. The boat was found in a state inexplicably « corrosive ».
So here is the explanation: the submarine U-977 would ALL carried in its hold … even many Führer.De boxes of gold bullion have been landed, if dropped overboard … off Argentina .
Continue my research on this and I still have many pages to write.

Dóchas Wednesday News Editorial Policy


Please carefully review these requirements to make sure you maintain your financial aid eligibility.
Earn a 2.0 cumulative GPA or better by the end of the second year.
Complete at least 80% of cumulative attempted credits.
For financial aid eligibility, you must complete 80% of your cumulative attempted credits to be on pace to graduate. All students are monitored for pace at the end of every quarter. If your completion rate drops below 80%, you will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for one quarter. If your completion rate remains below 80% after the warning quarter, you will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension and will have an opportunity to petition to regain eligibility.
Attempted credits -- All credits that appear on your academic history record including repeated, failed, incomplete, withdrawals (XM), and transfer credits. Pay close attention to the Registrar's Office important dates and deadlines. The last day to withdraw from a class without incurring a "W" is the ninth day of every quarter. However, since XM grades count as attempted credits you must withdraw from a class sooner to avoid incurring an "XM" grade on your academic history record. The last day to withdraw from a class without incurring an "XM" grade is the fifth day of every quarter.
Completed credits -- Credits for which a passing grade is received such as A through D-, P, or S.
Transfer credits -- All credits transferred in to Western are considered as completed credits. For example, a new transfer student coming in with a direct transfer AA degree is considered to have 90 attempted and completed credits for a completion rate of 100%.
Example 1: Imanue Student is a new freshman who has no transfer credits or previous credits from WWU. Imanue enrolls fall quarter for 16 credits, but needs to drop a four credit class. At the end of fall quarter Imanue completes 12 out of 16 credits for a rate of completion of 75% and is placed on financial aid warning.
During winter quarter Imanue completes 12 out of 12 credits. At the end of winter quarter Imanue returns to good financial aid standing because over the course of two quarters, Imanue completed 24 credits out of 28 cumulative attempted credits for a completion rate of 85.7%.
Example 2: Anothernue Student is a freshman who has no transfer credits or previous credits from WWU. Anothernue enrolls for 16 credits during fall quarter and withdraws from a four credit class. At the end of fall quarter, Anothernue completes 12 out of 16 credits for a completion rate of 75% and is placed on Financial Aid Warning for winter quarter.
During winter quarter, Anothernue completes 12 out of 15 credits for a quarterly completion rate of 80%. However, the pace requirement is based on cumulative credits. For fall and winter quarters combined, Anothernue completed 24 out of 31 attempted credits for a completion rate of 77.4%. Since Anothernue did not meet the 80% pace requirement while on warning, Anothernue is placed on Financial Aid Suspension. If Anothernue submits a petition to regain eligibility for spring quarter and the petition is approved, Anothernue will be eligible for financial aid on a probationary status.
In this example, if Anothernue had successfully completed 12 out of 12 credits during winter quarter, then the completion rate jumps to 83.7% (36 completed credits out of 43 attempted credits) and Anothernue would be back on pace and in good standing for spring quarter financial aid.
Example 3: Pat Moorecredits is a new transfer student with 90 credits and a completion rate of 100% (new transfer students begin with a completion rate of 100%). During fall quarter, Pat experiences health concerns that affect Pat's academic progress and Pat only completes six out of 15 credits for a quarterly completion rate of 40%. Even though Pat only completed six credits at the end of fall quarter Pat remains on pace because Pat successfully completed 96 out of 105 cumulative attempted credits for a completion rate of 91.4%. This example shows that as students build up their completed credits, they can weather a tough quarter and still be on pace for financial aid eligibility.
IMPORTANT NOTE: although Pat is meeting the Pace requirement, Pat has not met the credit completion requirement. A long standing policy requires students to complete the minimum number of credits for which they receive aid. For example, an Undergraduate full-time aid recipient must successfully complete 12 credits each quarter to avoid being placed on warning or suspension. You may wish to view the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy for more information.
Complete a sufficient number of credits every quarter.
The Financial Aid Department reviews academic progress at the end of each quarter for all students. To establish and maintain financial aid eligibility, you must successfully complete the minimum number of credits associated with the enrollment level on which a financial aid offer is based. For example, an undergraduate student must successfully complete 12 or more credits if the enrollment level at enrollment lock is full-time. The Satisfactory Academic Progress policy provides additional information regarding the Quarterly Credit Completion requirement.
If you previously passed a course, but wish to retake it to earn a better grade, you are allowed to repeat the course one time and have the repeat credits count toward your enrollment status for financial aid eligibility. Should you choose to repeat the course for a second time, the credits will not count toward your enrollment status. The number of credits you enroll in determines your enrollment status (e.g., half-time, three-quarter time, full-time). Your enrollment status affects your financial aid eligibility. An undergraduate student is at a full-time enrollment status if enrolled in 12 or more credits. Information regarding enrollment status requirements is available on the Enrollment & Lock Date page and additional information about Quarterly Credit Completion requirements is available by viewing the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
Example: Pete Repeat received a C in a four-credit course. During the next quarter, Pete enrolled in the course again to get a better grade and earned a B. When Pete repeated the course, the credits were included in determining the enrollment status and financial aid eligibility. However, Pete is striving to get an A in the course and repeats it again -- a second repeat. This time the credits for this course do not count in determining Pete's enrollment status. In order to be eligible for financial aid at full-time status, Pete would need to enroll for a minimum of 12 other credits in addition to the four-credit class Pete is repeating for the second time.
Example: Pete enrolled in a course for the first time. Unfortunately, Pete did not pass the course. Pete can repeat the course and have it count for financial aid eligibility. If Pete then successfully completes the course, he can repeat one more time and have the course count in the enrollment status for financial aid eligibility. See the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy for a listing of grades that do not indicate successful completion of academic credit.
The Maximum Attempt Credit requirement limits financial aid eligibility to 125% of the credits needed to complete the program. View our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for additional information about this requirement.
There are several financial aid maximums in time and amount that you need to consider while completing your degree.
Washington State Need Grant Program Maximum of 15 quarters of eligibility (5 years at 3 quarters per year).
Washington State College Bound Scholarship Program Maximum of 12 quarters of eligibility (4 years at 3 quarters per year).
Federal Pell Grant Program 600% Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) – you may receive over your lifetime the equivalent of six years (600%) of annual Pell Grant funding.
Federal Direct Subsidized & Unsubsidized Loan Program Annual maximum offer amounts depend on class standing. Aggregate lifetime maximums are determined by dependency status and undergraduate or graduate program status. See details on our Federal Direct Loan webpage.
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Program Federal Direct Subsidized Loan borrowers have a time limit. You may receive loans for a period that does not exceed 150% of the published length of the academic program in which you are currently enrolled (6 years of eligibility in a 4-year program).
You receive a financial aid disbursement, and then reduce your enrollment status on or before the enrollment lock date – the second Friday of the quarter.
You receive a financial aid disbursement, and then withdraw from all classes. The amount of financial aid repayment depends on the date you completely withdraw.
Corrections to errors on the FAFSA or WASFA, a loss of eligibility based on verification of information, or other less common eligibility circumstances may also create repayment requirements. For additional details, review the Washington Student Achievement Council FAQ on State Need Grant Repayment. Also, see the Federal Student Aid website for information regarding federal financial aid.
Students with an overdue unpaid balance on their student account are subject to late fees, interest charges, and course enrollment holds. Contact the WWU Student Business Office and the Registrar's Office for more information.
