Study abroad in Sweden and you will:
We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
The Bailey Scholarship is awarded to students who self-identify as a member of a group that has traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Award amounts are $1,500 for semester or yearlong programs and $1000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE-ISP Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. $2,000 for semester or yearlong programs and $1,000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
CIEE created the Global Access Initiative (GAIN) to help students overcome the major barriers to studying abroad, namely costs and curriculum requirements. GAIN aids in the diversification of study abroad by providing overseas opportunities for students who are economically challenged. The award is $1500 towards an airline ticket with any remaining funds distributed to the student in the form of a check.
The McDermott Scholarship is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need, and who are either a Public Health or Nursing major, and/or are participating in a CIEE Community Public Health study abroad program. Awards range from $1000-$2500, depending on duration of study and financial need, and are applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.

In addition to courses in Swedish language, history, literature, and art, take advantage of myriad elective courses at one of the most prestigious universities in Europe. Indulge your interests in everything from business, government, and astronomy to chemistry, earth sciences, medicine, and informatics and new media.
The study abroad program includes a variety of local and regional excursions designed to introduce you to Uppsala and the surrounding Uppland countryside. Excursions vary each semester and include such locations as Uppsala Castle, Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala), local festivals, Stockholm, the Stockholm Archipelago, a tour of the Province of Uppland, and possible trips to Kiruna/Lappland, Gotland and the West Coast of Sweden. In addition, Uppsala offers a number of cultural and historical events and has a concert hall, and a number of museums and theaters.
The Uppsala University Student Nations provide you with activities and cultural events throughout the year. By participating in these active campus organizations, you will learn firsthand about the life of Swedish university students. Student Nations organize formal dances, sporting events, discussions, theater and music events, and the ever-popular "gasques" (formal dinner party with a three course meal, usually followed by singing, dancing and other types of entertainment).
University courses may also include opportunities for field research and community involvement.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.
The program fee includes:
This breakdown has been prepared from the program budget for the purpose of calculating eligibility for financial aid. During the course of program operations, actual figures may vary. It should not, therefore, be used as a basis for calculation of refunds. CIEE reserves the right to adjust fees at any time.
Students required to study on CIEE programs through a School of Record will be charged a $340 administrative fee in addition to the Program Fees listed.
* non-refundable
** direct cost of education charged uniformly to all students
The estimated additional costs indicated are intended to assist students and parents in budgeting for those additional living and discretionary expenses not included in the program fee. Actual expenses will vary according to student interests and spending habits.
* round-trip based on U.S. East Coast departure
Total recommended credit for the semester is 15 - 18 semester/22.5-27 quarter hours and 30–36 semester/45-54 quarter hours for the academic year. All students must take a total of 30 Uppsala credits (points) per semester. Course credit varies between Uppsala faculties. Courses are offered for 5, 7.5, 10, or 15 Uppsala points, or 3, 4, 6, or 8 U.S. semester credits respectively.
The culture courses Swedish Art, Architecture and Music, and Swedish Literature are each worth 7.5 Uppsala credits (4 U.S. credits). The Swedish History course is worth 15 Uppsala credits (8 U.S. credits).
Course contact hours are 20–48 hours unless otherwise indicated. The Swedish system generally requires more self-directed learning per each hour in class than U.S. institutions. The contact hours listed on students' grade reports refer to the time spent in class, and CIEE credit recommendations are based on an evaluation of the total effort required for each course.
All CIEE study abroad students take at least one elective course with a focus on Sweden, and two to three elective courses at Uppsala University.
Students can choose to take the CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in Uppsala for an additional two credits.
Uppsala, with a population of 200,000, is Sweden's fourth-largest city and lies approximately 70 km north of Stockholm. Combining the opportunities found in a large city with the intimacy of a small town, Uppsala is an attractive destination for students who want to learn firsthand about Swedish history and culture. The city traces its roots back to Viking times and has been considered the religious center of Sweden since the establishment of a Christian archdiocese in the 12th century. Uppsala is known for its connection to the Nobel Prize and has become the home to various leading companies in the field of biotechnology.
Felicitas was born in Erlangen, Germany, where she grew up and went to school. However, after graduating, she was eager to explore the world and went on to study and live in several countries. She holds a Bachelor's degree in English/American Studies and Intercultural Communications from Bayreuth University, Germany as well as an M.A. double degree in European Studies from Groningen University, the Netherlands and Uppsala University, Sweden. During her studies, she also spent an exchange year at University College Dublin, Ireland. Since 2010, she has been living in Sweden, both in the towns of Uppsala and Linköping, where she worked with international students at both Uppsala University and Linköping University.
The goals of the Arts and Sciences study abroad program are for students to develop an understanding of Swedish society and culture while enrolling in a variety of rigorous academic courses at one of the premier universities in Scandinavia. Through coursework at Uppsala University, participation in university activities, and program excursions and activities, students gain valuable insight into Sweden's past and present while having a rewarding academic experience.
Study abroad students live in residence halls located throughout Uppsala with Swedish, international, and CIEE students. Students typically live in single rooms with their own bathroom, and share kitchen and laundry facilities. Some students may be assigned to double rooms with a roommate. Many residence halls only accept a limited number of foreign students, allowing for maximum integration with the local Swedish student population. Students typically commute to and from campus by bicycle, city bus, or foot.
Meals are not included in the program fee and are the responsibility of the student. Meals may be prepared in the student housing or eaten at some of the student nations (student clubs), local restaurants, or cafés. Many local restaurants provide a meal discount to students.
The program begins with a one-week mandatory orientation held in Uppsala. The orientation includes activities and information sessions organized by both CIEE and Uppsala University staff and students. The orientation introduces you to the country, culture, and academic program, and provides practical information about life in Uppsala. Orientation week includes excursions, social events with local students, and sessions on health and safety, cross-cultural communication, and life in Sweden. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the study abroad program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop, the appropriate plug adapter, and an Internet cable in order to utilize Internet ports available in the residence halls. Internet access is also available throughout the university campus, such as in the Student Union and various faculties and departments.
The Arts and Sciences study abroad program, established in fall 2009, offers students the opportunity to study alongside Swedish and other international students at one of the top universities in Scandinavia. Students pursue their own academic interests in fields such as business, natural sciences, information technology, and social sciences while learning firsthand about contemporary Sweden and its people through required Swedish language and culture courses. The academic semester at Uppsala University is divided into four periods of roughly five weeks each. Students take at least one but no more than two courses each quarter.
Swedish university courses place a great deal of emphasis on individual student responsibility and performance. Courses combine a variety of methodologies, including lectures, seminars, group work, laboratory work, and independent study. In addition to remembering the materials covered in class, students are expected to spend a significant time outside of class engaged in independent analysis and evaluation of the ideas being presented. Many American students may find the teachers and teaching style rather informal, but the faculty has high expectations and assumes that the individual students are working diligently outside of class in order to produce top results. All courses include written and/or oral examinations.
In contrast to many courses at U.S. academic institutions, Uppsala University course schedules are set by the individual departments. This results in course schedules that may fluctuate from week to week, and requires students to be flexible and highly organized. In general, scheduling conflicts are minimized if students take all of their elective courses in one academic area.
Study abroad students take Uppsala University courses with local Swedish and other international students. The Swedish language and some Swedish culture courses are only open to foreign students.
Swedish universities typically award grades based on the following scale: Pass with Distinction, Pass, or Fail. For most courses, the Uppsala University transcript currently also lists information on the statistical distribution of the national grades for each course over time. In 2012 there may be additional changes adopted.. CIEE converts the Uppsala University grades into recommended U.S. letter grades of A–F.
All courses are taught by Uppsala University faculty.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

CLST 3001 UPAS Seminar on Living and Learning in Uppsala
The CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in Uppsala is designed to improve students' intercultural communication and competence while studying abroad by considering how Swedish culture is different from, and similar to, their own. The course offers opportunities, both in and outside the classroom, to develop insights and the skills necessary to interact effectively and appropriately, and to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural richness of Sweden. Contact hours: 25. Recommended credit: 2 semester/3 quarter hours.
Beginner's Course in Swedish as a Foreign Language: Basic Swedish 1
This course provides a general overview of the structure of Swedish and includes an introduction to basic vocabulary, principles of sentence construction, intonation, and an introduction to Swedish university and study traditions. Recommended credit: 4 semester/6 quarter hours.
The following list provides a sample of the courses offered in English to students at Uppsala University each year. Students should consult the Uppsala University website for an updated list of courses taught in English at www.uu.se/en/admissions/exchange/course/list/# .

Great Trading Routes of the Sahara
This 1889 map of trans-Saharan trading routes by French explorer Edouard Blanc reflects the growing priority that Europeans gave to land-based trade during the late 19th-century imperial "scramble for Africa." In articles about his work, Blanc stressed the importance of identifying "natural" geographic routes that would connect French colonial possessions in west Africa, such as Senegal, to Algeria in north Africa, and link the Mediterranean coast to Sudan and central Africa. Blanc based his maps not only on his own travels but also on nearly a century of reports from ...
French Mandate for Togoland
As a consequence of World War I, Germany was stripped of its colonies and the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and forced to surrender control of territories in the Middle East. The Covenant of the League of Nations established a system under which the League conferred upon certain states a mandate to rule those former colonies which, in the language of the Covenant, were "inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world." Britain and the British Empire, France, Belgium, and Japan ...
Letter to the Warring Tribes
Timbuktu, founded around 1100 as a commercial center for trade across the Sahara Desert, was also an important seat of Islamic learning from the 14th century onward. The libraries of Timbuktu contain many important manuscripts, in different styles of Arabic scripts, which were written and copied by Timbuktu's scribes and scholars. These works constitute the city's most famous and long-lasting contribution to Islamic and world civilization. In this work, the author, a scholar and religious leader, urges warring factions to make peace and live in peace. He supports ...
Dahomey and the Dahomans: Being the Journals of Two Missions to the King of Dahomey, and Residence at His Capital, in the Year 1849 and 1850
Frederick E. Forbes was a British naval officer who, in 1849-50, undertook two missions to the court of the King of Dahomey in an unsuccessful attempt to convince him to end involvement in the slave trade. Dahomey was a warlike kingdom that arose most likely in the second quarter of the 17th century and came to dominate its neighbors through its army, which included both men and women and was based on strict military discipline. This two-volume work reproduces Forbes' journal and his account of his conversations with King Gezo ...
New Journey into the Land of the Negroes, Followed by Studies on the Colony of Senegal, and Historical, Geographical, and Scientific Documents
Anne-Jean-Baptiste Raffenel (1809–58) was a French colonial official, who in 1846 was commissioned by the French navy to undertake a voyage of exploration to the interior of Africa. Raffenel left France in mid-May 1846 and returned in June 1848. Volume one of this two-volume work is an account of Raffenel's fourth-month journey from France to Senegal and his travel throughout the colony, which included visits to many Senegalese towns and regions, such as Saint-Louis (Ndar), Bakel, Bambouk, and Makana. Raffenel described the governing structure of the colony, the ...
Chronicles of Senegalese Mauritania. Nacer Eddine
Ismaël Hamet was an interpreter and official in the service of the French army in the colony of French West Africa. His 1911 Chroniques de la Mauritanie sénégalaise (Chronicles of Senegalese Mauritania) is one of the few scholarly books about the region of the Western Sahara, and Mauritania in particular, to be published in the West before the mid-20th century. The first part of the book consists of an overview chapter on the geography, history, and social conditions of Mauritania; a chapter on the natural resources and commerce of the ...
Togo: The Hugues Le Roux Mission
Robert Charles Henri Le Roux (1860–1925), better known by his pen name of Hugues Le Roux, was a French writer and journalist who specialized in travel literature and books about the French colonies. Close to French official circles, he helped to build support in France for the idea that France had a unique civilizing mission (mission civilisatrice) in the less-developed parts of the world. In 1918–19, Le Roux produced for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs a series of small books on the French colonies in Africa, as ...
Timbuctoo the Mysterious
This book is an English translation of Tombouctou la mystérieuse, published in Paris in 1897. The author, Felix Dubois (1862–1945), was a French journalist who in 1895 traveled from Paris to Dakar, Senegal, and from there down the River Niger in what was then called French Sudan. He visited the town of Jenne, which he called the "jewel of the valley of the Niger" and from there proceeded to the ancient city of Timbuktu. Citing an old Sudanese chronicle that called Timbuktu "the meeting-place of all who travel by ...
King Bihuazin [i.e. Béhanzin] of Dahomey, and His Two Wives [Standing on Porch]: French Government Prisoner in Martinique, Fort de France
This photograph was taken in Fort de France on the French island of Martinique around 1902. It shows the former King Béhanzin (1844-1906) of Dahomey (present-day Benin), who was banished to the Caribbean territory in 1894. The Kingdom of Dahomey, with its capital at Abomey, was founded in the 17th century. French colonial expansion into west Africa in the late 19th century and French efforts to suppress the slave trade led to conflict between France and the kingdom. In 1892, the kingdom was defeated in a war with France and ...
The Gift of the Followers of the Path of Muhammad
Timbuktu, founded around 1100 as a commercial center for trade across the Sahara Desert, was also an important seat of Islamic learning from the 14th century onward. The libraries of Timbuktu contain many important manuscripts, in different styles of Arabic scripts, which were written and copied by Timbuktu's scribes and scholars. These works constitute the city's most famous and long-lasting contribution to Islamic and world civilization. This work is about the Songhai Empire, one of the most important states in West Africa during the 14th and 15th centuries ...
Askiyah's Questions and al-Maghili's Answers [al-Maghili's Tract on Politics]
Timbuktu, founded around 1100 as a commercial center for trade across the Sahara Desert, was also an important seat of Islamic learning from the 14th century onward. The libraries of Timbuktu contain many important manuscripts, in different styles of Arabic scripts, which were written and copied by Timbuktu's scribes and scholars.

Map of a Journey to Musardu, the Capital of the Western Mandingoes
In 1868, President Daniel Bashiel Warner of the Republic of Liberia sent Benjamin J.K. Anderson, a Liberian government official, into the interior of the country to negotiate a treaty with the King of Musardo. Warner's objective was to improve ties with the peoples of the interior and to try to associate them, economically and culturally, with the coastal colonies established by immigrants from the United States. Traveling through dense forest, Anderson made careful notes about the people, customs, and natural resources of the areas through which he passed ...
The Voyage of the Sieur Le Maire, to the Canary Islands, Cape-Verde, Senegal, and Gambia
This 1745 book is an English translation of a work by Jacques-Joseph Le Maire that was first published in 1695 and recounted a voyage to West Africa and the Atlantic islands off the coast of Africa. Le Maire, a physician in the service of the Compagnie d'Afrique, describes the inhabitants, customs, and places that he visited. Le Maire's work remains an important source for the study of 17th-century West Africa, interactions between Africans and Europeans, and aspects of the transatlantic slave trade.
Cameroon and the German Lake Chad Railway
In 1884 the explorer Gustav Nachtigal signed a treaty with the chiefs of Duala on behalf of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in which, in return for trade advantages, the chiefs accepted the establishment of a German protectorate. In 1885, the new German colony of Kamerun came into being. A number of influential Germans determined that the colony's economic potential could be realized only through the construction of a railroad. They established a Cameroon railroad syndicate in 1900, which in 1902 obtained a concession from the German government to ...
Ghana's Policy at Home and Abroad: Text of Speech Given in the Ghana Parliament, August 29, 1957
On March 6, 1957, Ghana became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to achieve independence from a European colonial power. The new state was made up of the former British colony of the Gold Coast and the Trusteeship Territory of Togoland. The country's first prime minister (and later president) was Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), a U.S.-educated political activist who led the fight for independence from Britain. In this speech, delivered to the parliament of Ghana and circulated internationally by the country's newly-established embassies, Nkrumah gave a progress ...
This study of the history, geography, population, administrative structures, and economy of French Guinea was published in 1906, in conjunction with the French Colonial Exposition in Marseille. In the years before World War I, France's global empire, second in size only to Britain's, was nearing its peak. The exposition was intended to glorify France's civilizing mission as well as to highlight its profitable trade with the colonies, much of which passed through the port of Marseille. Wedged between Portuguese Guinea to the north and British-controlled Sierra Leone ...
The Guinean Campaign (1908)
In this book, Luis Monteiro Nunes da Ponte (1884-?), a Portuguese army officer, civil engineer, and former civilian governor of the city of Porto, describes his military expedition of 1908 to Guinea (present-day Guinea-Bissau). Nunes da Ponte focused primarily on the regions of Bissau, Bolama, Oio, and Cuore and described the challenges likely to face Portuguese colonization in the region. Portugal claimed Guinea as early as 1446, but until the late 19th century it administered the territory as part of the Cape Verde Islands colony. Portuguese control was limited to ...
Togo under the German Flag
Germany, a latecomer to the competition among the European powers for colonies in Africa, established the Togoland Protectorate in 1884. Encompassing the territory of present-day Togo and the Volta Region District of Ghana in western Africa, Togo was portrayed by German imperial circles as a model colony, financially self-sufficient and benefiting from bridges, roads, and railroads built to support an agricultural industry based on cacao, coffee, and cotton exports. Later historians disputed this characterization, noting the often harsh treatment of the Togolese under German rule. The German authorities used scientific ...

Eco One ECO-8014 Spa Outdoor Hose Filter
Short Description
Eco One Spa Hose filter removes or greatly reduces thousands of common water contaminants and hazards including chlorine, lead, arsenic, mercury.
Spa Chemical Features:
HOSE Filter Instructions:
Flush garden hose before use to remove sediment and contaminants. Attach filter to hose and flush for one minute until water runs clear. It can be used effectively at either end of the garden hose and used with a sprayer attachment or sprinkler with a barely noticeable reduction in flow rate. Save end caps for storage. STORE WET! (Do not allow filter to dry out as the media will harden and become ineffective - if end caps are lost, store in a plastic baggy in refrigerator).
Works best with a flow rate of 2GPM or less. For highly contaminated water, reduce flow rate to 1GPM. If flow rate slows, back-flush filter to remove sediment buildup. If it' not possible to back-flush filter, place female end in a bucket of clean water and shake to loosen blockage from media.
Test Hose Filter for Exhaustion:
Attach the unit to a source of chlorinated water and test the output with a chlorine test strip, readily available at any pool and spa supply store. Chlorine level should read at or near 0. Your Hose Filter will last between 8,000 and 40,000 gallons, depending on care, use and initial water contamination.

A new, inclusive one-stop shop website for individuals and organisations who want to protect historic buildings, largely put together by Lucie Carayon, the Ancient Monuments Society's Casework Secretary.
Welcome to the website of the Friends of Friendless Churches
We are a very small charity which saves redundant historic churches. We now own over 40 former places of worship, half in England, half in Wales, which we preserve as peaceful spaces for visitors and the local community to enjoy. Most are medieval, and all of them are listed.
In Wales our work is funded by Cadw and the Church in Wales, however in England grant aid is not automatic and we rely extensively on the generosity of donors and members.
Click here to find out how you can help us to save redundant churches in need.


text: Firefighters were called to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's home in Beverly Hills, California Thursday morning (January 17) after a candle Sharon had left burning through the night exploded in its glass vase and sparked a small blaze in their living room.Speaking about the incident on today's edition of the CBS program "The Talk", which she co-hosts, Sharon said: "Everybody is fine. There was only Ozzy, myself and the dogs in the house last night. "At five o' clock [in the morning], I heard a noise like metal had fallen. I thought it was my housekeeper coming in and she had dropped her keys on the tiles, that's what it sounded like, so I didn't pay any attention. A few minutes later, my eyes are stinging and my throat's closing up, [I thought], 'Something's weird smelling in here.' Then my dog started to bark. I go downstairs and the whole living room [was on fire]. The candle had burst and the cracking sound was the glass and the candle exploding... "My husband had an operation on his hand yesterday so he's in a complete cast... He comes down and goes, 'Oh, the fire, the fire!' [and tries to put it out[ with his hand in the cast. Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted... "Ozzy's front of his hair from (his ear down is), gone! His eyebrows (are gone)... he's got like, skinned cheeks. We are, like, two idiots, it was like The Three Stooges... Everything you are not meant to do — go to bed with candles alight, open the doors and put water on — we did it all." She continued: "[The firemen] come up, they give us a lecture, and Ozzy's like, 'She's been doing this to me for 32 years! You tell her, you tell her, no more candles!' "I apologize to my husband because he put himself out. He made his hand worse, it started to bleed, the whole nine yards, and I'm sorry and I love you and I will never light a candle again... "I want to thank the firemen from Beverly Hills Fire Station because you are magnificent there and I want to say to everyone out there, please, please check your candles before you go to bed." In March 2005, a fire broke out at Ozzy's Buckinghamshire mansion, causing considerable damage to the home. No one was reported injured during the blaze, but Ozzy and Sharon were treated for smoke inhalation, as were two of their employees.

Eric Engberg has been to Memorial Park in Pescadero so many times, he can't even begin to count.
"Over three generations of my family have been going there to camp every summer," said the East Bay resident.
For his nephew Zachary Rowe, visiting from Arizona, it was his first time, and possibly his last.
Whether or not the 12-year-old boy will ever want to visit the place where he lost his right leg to a falling 74-foot tree is a question no one is prepared to answer right now.
On July 25 at 4:30 a.m., while he was sleeping next to his cousin in a tent at Memorial Park, smashing his right pelvis and leg.
He was rushed to surgery at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto where his right leg had to be amputated at the hip, medically termed as "hip disarticulation amputee."
Less than two percent of all amputations are this severe, according to Zachary's medical doctors.
That very first surgery is only one of many more to come.
"The attending physician relayed to us a week ago that it is possible Zachary will face up to 50 more surgeries," said Engberg. "He has been undergoing more than one surgical procedure each week to control infection from spreading."
The medical staff at Lucille Packard Medical Center have provided no time frame as to when Zachary will be able to go home, but he will most likely be there for at least several months, according to Engberg.
He is still in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with a nurse assigned specifically to him 24 hours a day. His doctors are monitoring him very closely and his vital organs are a major concern.
The family is very concerned about the emotional trauma that Zachary, an avid swimmer and golfer, will face once he realizes his right leg is missing.
"Zachary remains sedated and does not know at this point about his leg being amputated," said Engberg.
The well being of other family members who were there with Zachary at the time of the accident are also a concern, especially 10-year-old Alex Merin, another nephew of Engberg, who was asleep in the tent next to Zachary that night.
"It has been very hard on him and traumatic as he blames himself for the accident and wishes he could have done something to prevent it," said Engberg.
San Mateo County Park officials are currently in the process of analyzing the tree and the accident site. At this time they do not know what caused the tree to fall.
"We do believe that our parks and campgrounds are safe, and we are deeply saddened by this tragic accident," said Dave Holland, Assistant County Manager. "Our hearts go out to the injured boy and his family. We cannot begin to know or understand what he and his family must be going through. "
Zachary's family members who were at the campsite when the accident occurred keep reliving the traumatic experience over and over in their minds, including his mother Michelle Peters and aunt Helene Engberg.
"Hearing the cracking of the tree as it started to fall and feeling helpless to do anything about it, my family relayed that when the tree fell it sounded like a bomb hit," said Engberg. "The rush of the wind that resulted from the tree falling is a memory they will never forget. This, of course, in no way compares to the immense challenges that Zachary will face for the rest of his life."
A Bank of America account called the Zach Rowe Fund has been set up for donations from people in the Bay Area to help Zachary and his family with medical bills. The account number is 164102211549. Donations to this fund can be sent to any Bank of America branch or made in person.

Will Floyd come out looking like an anorexic crackhead jailbird? Was the whole food fiasco a ploy to attempt for a early home detention? Does the Money Man humble himself (in this lifetime)?
I'm personally excited about my favorite boxer getting out of the slammer, I think he's gonna take a few months off, and come back in full steam ahead for maybe 1-2 more fights, and I think the Money Man is gonna hang them up for good.
I do expect one of those 2 fights to be Pac, to silence the critics and world about who's best. I also think he'll take on another high profile match, maybe a tangle with T. Bradley.
All in all, this is a early WELCOME BACK TO FREEDOM for Money May, and may he stay out of prison, cause that shit is NO fun at all.

I haven't been on in a while so I don't know if this has been posted a;ready. SOrry if it has. Is it me, or is this dude looking really yoked lol I've always thought he's had impressive traps for a fairly small welterweight but damn. He looks way more swole in the arms than he used to IMO. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. BTW, he needs to lose that TWA (teeny weeny afro) expeditiously. That shit went out with Cole from Martin lol
He's flexing. Though he's a little bigger once he starts regular conditioning he will go down again. It may affect his flexibility.

- " I had a horrible experience at this hostel. Thankfully I only stayed one night.This hostel is infested with bed bugs!When I woke up in the morning, I had over fifty bites on my arms, legs, and back. Several days later the bites got severely infected so my doctor had to subscribe antibiotics to prevent further infection. The apartment does not have air conditioning so it was blazing hot at night and they didn't have enough fans for each room. The rooms and linens smelled soiled.It was awful! "

Research Matters Blog
Despite the advances in treatment and awareness surrounding mental health issues in recent years, mental illness still carries an enormous amount of stigma. The infographic below, published by Homeless Link UK, provides some details about the complex relationship that exists between mental health and homelessness.
Individuals with mental health issues are more likely to be homeless, as mental illness has a detrimental impact on all aspects of their life. People suffering from poor mental health find it more difficult to maintain close relationships with family and friends. Their cognitive abilities may be affected; making them more likely to misunderstand others and question the motives of members of their support network. Difficulties are also likely to arise at work, as individuals may be unable to deal with workplace stresses. Many ultimately find themselves unable to maintain employment. After looking at how having mental health issues can poorly impact an individual's life, and understanding that these stressors can pile up, it's clear why individuals suffering with mental health issues are more likely to be living in critical housing situations.
Homelessness on its own can cause issues in mental health. Transitioning from housing to living on the streets is an enormously stressful and difficult situation. Individuals trying to get off the streets may find that there are few employment, educational, and housing supports in place to help them with their goals. Impediments in the journey from being homeless to living in an adequate housing situation can be demoralizing and depressing. In circumstances where an individual's mental health issues have acted as a precursor to their homelessness, homelessness often only further amplifies their condition. Increased exposure to harmful drugs, poor nutrition, and difficulty accessing appropriate medical care because of homelessness are all factors that directly impact mental health. It doesn't come as a surprise when the above infographic shows that all of the mental health illnesses represented have greater representation among the homeless than among the general population.
The discrepancy between the mental health of the general population compared to the homeless population is most pronounced when considering the incidence of depression. The survey conducted by Homeless Link revealed that homeless individuals are thirteen times more likely to suffer from depression. Although the UK was the site of this survey, these sorts of discrepancies extend beyond geographic borders. In a survey conducted by St. Michael's Hospital, 31% of the homeless population was shown to suffer from depression. This is opposed to 4.8% of the general population who suffer from depression according to figures provided by the Canadian government.
In the absence of care and support, many homeless individuals suffering with mental health issues turn to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. 41% of those surveyed by Homeless Link reported such behaviour. This leads to increasing instability in their lives and may ultimately lead to concurrent disorders, a condition representing 12% of the homeless population surveyed. The term concurrent disorder refers to being diagnosed with both mental illness and a substance abuse problem. Over the course of treatment, it's difficult for specialists to determine if mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or both are causing symptoms and behavioural problems. There is an evident need for specialized, coordinated programs and services that address this specific subgroup.
Perhaps, rather than viewing this issue from a numbers-oriented perspective, it would help us to focus on individual stories.
Martin was professionally educated and employed before his mental health issues resulted in him becoming homeless. Martin was fortunate to find the help he needed at the Mustard Seed shelter in Calgary. Like in Martin's experience, to meet the needs of people experiencing mental health problems, a number of services are required.
Evictions prevention refers to any strategy or program designed to keep individuals and families in their home and that helps them avoid entering into homelessness. Usually eviction prevention programs are geared at renters but the same programs are often effective for homeowners at risk of foreclosure. Eviction prevention is seen as an 'upstream' solution to homelessness by reducing the number of people who become homeless.
There are a variety of homelessness prevention or eviction prevention strategies. A few program options include:
- Rent Banks that provide short-term or temporary loans or payments of outstanding rental arrears.
- Energy assistance payments to help with the costs of utilities such as electric, water or gas. This often frees up a household's income to make their rental or mortgage payment.
- Community legal clinics or credit counselling agencies that work with a tenant/landlord or home owner/mortgage company to address outstanding financial or legal issues.
- Supports to help tenants with notices of eviction to understand the eviction process and their rights and obligations concerning the notice.

We received this tweet from Jordan Dawe on Twitter. He asks where donations can best be used to help people experiencing homelessness.
@homelesshub For donations to help homelessness, what kind of organization helps most? Food banks? Shelters? Giving directly to people?
— Jordan Dawe (@freedryk) August 8, 2014
Thanks for an interesting question Jordan.
Donations are interesting. There has been some great research/stories about how post-disasters (especially big ones) resources of community organizations get swamped just managing donations. The same can be true for community organizations working with homeless folks.
Donating clothing means that someone needs to open the donations, clean it, mend it, sort it etc. etc. etc. Much of what is donated is inappropriate – dirty, ripped, worn, out of fashion or not appropriate (i.e. children's clothes to a single, adult men's shelter). When I worked at a shelter in Oshawa in the mid-90s we had access to a lot of suits from the 60s/70s. In today's environment of limited space and resources, the additional complication of bed bugs means many shelters just refuse to accept clothing or only purchase new clothing for their clients. The latter also speaks to the worth and dignity of the individual. A job search isn't going to be helped by showing up in an outfit that is 30 years out of date, stained and ill fitting. Instead of donating clothes -- have a garage sale and sell what is appropriate and donate the funds raised. You can also look at donating to an organization like Dress for Success which provides professional attire for disadvantaged women who need it. You can donate money or your nearly new suit.
Donating food can also present challenges including the sorting, reviewing, distributing issues listed above. Many people who are homeless are immune-compromised so it is important that any food they receive from a shelter, drop-in or meal program be nutritious and healthy. This is particularly true for prepared food; many shelters will not accept it because there is no way of knowing what it contains, cooking/storage conditions etc. For canned goods, central food banks are better set up to manage large-scale food collection and will then funnel food to food pantries and organizations as needed. When you're donating pick new or non-expired items. See what is listed as most needed by the food bank. Remember, if you want to give ONLY to people who are homeless, you need to know that a large percentage of people who use food banks are housed and a great number are working. For them, food banks are a response to a financial emergency, ensuring there is access to food when money has to go to larger expenditures, such as rent, medical bills, or something otherwise unforeseen. To learn more about the way food assistance programs are accessed by youth who are experiencing homelessness see this chapter of our Youth Homelessness in Canada book.
We wrote about giving to people on the streets asking for money last year in one of our most popular blog posts: Should I Give Money to Panhandlers? As we discussed then this is completely a personal decision. We also suggested a few options for those who were worried about how the money would be spent:
- Give the money to an organization working with people experiencing homelessness.
- Buy a street newspaper.
- Buy a small gift card – i.e. for a local coffee shop or fast food restaurant.
- Use the money to donate food to a food bank.
Jordan, your question about what kind of organizations help the most is a good follow-up for our first suggestion of donating directly to an organization.
What we do know is that ending homelessness requires a multi-faceted response. All sorts of organizations are needed and they can't be rated. Shelters, drop-ins, food banks, support programs, counselling, literacy classes, job or life skills training, recreational programs and housing services are all a piece of the puzzle. We won't suggest that one program be selected over another. However, we will give you a couple pieces of advice:
- Give from your heart. Did you see an ad on transit or in a newspaper that spoke to you? Are you more interested in youth concerns than adult issues? Do you want to help people get housing? Get food? Find a job? Pick the charity or non-profit that most fits with your desires and interests.
- Do your research. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Larger organizations will have a fundraiser or development officer whom you can ask questions. Many websites will list annual reports or you can request one. Ask how your money will be spent. Find out how they stand with the Canada Revenue Agency (understanding that there is a lot of controversy about that these days).
Finally, if you don't have the resources to donate, maybe you have the time to volunteer. Remember some organizations will require a specific skill set, training and/or a vulnerable sectors/police check. You can look for both short and long-term volunteer opportunities. When I worked frontline, the favourite volunteers were those who knew how to cut hair and those who played guitar and could lead a sing-song. Being awesome at cribbage never seemed to hurt either. Overall, just being a sympathetic ear and a friendly face can go a long way.

The definition of health has changed greatly over the last century. While ideas of health used to define only biological illnesses or disorders, today the World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The infographic above, published in the United Kingdom by Homeless Link, provides the reader with a brief snapshot of the health problems suffered by homeless populations with the modern definition of health in mind; a definition that goes far beyond an individual's physical health to include mental health and lifestyle factors.
The percentages in the infographic tell a story. 80% reported struggling with some form of mental health issue. 73% of those surveyed reported physical health problems. 39% take drugs or are in the process of recovering from a drug problem. These are all alarming figures. However, comparing figures between the homeless population and the general population provides us with proof of the incredible discrepancy that exists between both groups. Compared to the general population, health issues are experienced at much higher levels by homeless people. This discrepancy is most striking when considering the drug consumption - in the UK homeless people are 7 times more likely to have used drugs in the past month compared to the general population. Factors contributing to increased drug use among homeless populations include pre-existing mental health issues, alcoholism, and lack of access to healthcare.
There are barriers across all the stages of the healthcare delivery process when Canadians who are homeless try to receive treatment. Difficulties arise even before a homeless person enters a clinic. Patients usually have to place an appointment prior to a consultation, and those affected by homelessness are unlikely to have a phone or a permanent address. Even once when being treated, homeless individuals may receive a diminished quality of care because of how a healthcare service provider judges their situation. Gaps in healthcare provision can also end up causing financial worries, as accessing provincial and federal healthcare reimbursements is more difficult to access for homeless people compared to the general population. For example, an individual may not have the necessary documentation to obtain a Canadian health card or provincial healthcare coverage. The 2007 Street Health Report's findings showed that more than a quarter of those surveyed had been refused healthcare because they didn't have a health card.
Following a hospital visit, homeless people run into problems when it comes to accessing follow-up healthcare on their condition. In most cities, healthcare provision for homeless people is managed entirely by emergency departments. Both chronic and acute conditions are unlikely to receive treatment under such a delivery model - until they become emergencies. A system in place that only addresses emergency situations is unfit to meet the everyday healthcare needs of Canada's homeless population. Chronic health conditions that require regular check-ups, mental health issues, and substance abuse are threats to health and well being that are all poorly mitigated under such a model. When we compare the current status of care provided to homeless populations with the WHO's holistic definition of healthcare, it's evident that current provisions in place for homeless populations are inadequate.
Accordingly, health outreach for homeless populations is of critical importance when we consider how Canada can provide proper healthcare. In the past, hostel outreach programs for homeless clients with a history of mental illness have shown promise, and have been associated with decreased symptoms and an increase in social functioning. Managed Alcohol Programs, built around a harm reduction approach, have been carried out in cities across Canada, and participants in those programs report reduction in alcohol-related harms and improvements in mental health.
It's unlikely that there will ever be a simple one-step solution towards achieving health and well-being for populations, homeless or otherwise. However, investing in research and programs directed towards the needs of homeless populations, including filling in the gaps that currently exist in healthcare delivery, surely acts as big step towards reaching that goal. Failure to account for the health needs of homeless populations is likely to perpetuate and further exacerbate existing problems.
Inadequate income, employment and education are well documented as causes of and contributing factors to people cycling in and out of homelessness. However, on the flip side they also create possibilities for moving from homelessness to housing.
Developing education, training and employment (ETE) programs for people experiencing homelessness is different than doing so for the housed population because of exacerbating factors such as lack of a permanent address, inability to maintain proper hygiene or nutrition in a shelter, challenges of following shelter rules while employment, physical or mental health and addictions issues etc. There is a need for skills-based training including job readiness skills and life skills training including money management and cooking/shopping.
Because the education levels of people who are homeless are lower on average than the general public, they may experience challenges with participating in the formal labour market. Programs to help improve the education levels of people experiencing homelessness need to recognize and accommodate these challenges. This is a similar situation for work programs and is one of the reasons why social enterprise programs – which focus more on community good than profit – are so successful in the homelessness sector.
Youth experiencing homelessness have their own unique set of challenges accessing income, education and employment, as do single parents. Most programs for homeless youth in Canada focus on skills development (getting them into the job market) rather than on providing them with the opportunity to finish school. Homeless families also experience challenges in getting adequate educational supports for their children.

20 year old Canadian Brett Rheeder went into the history books in June 2013 as he won gold in the first ever Mountain Bike Slopestyle event, held in Munich. Bret kept his cool on a tough day for the riders - high-winds put a five-hour delay on proceedings midway through the highly-anticipated competition. On his first run Rheeder misjudged a move and hit the deck hard, but it did not deter him and he flawlessly completed his second run to achieve the highest score. Since he started competing domestically as a 16 year old, Rheeder's results have steadily improved. His best results in 2011 peaked at a respectable 11th in the Claymore Challenge and in 2012 he began to fight for the podium places in the majority of his events, finishing second in the following year at Claymore, plus a number of other second place finishes. Rheeder was born in 1993 and grew up in Queensvile Ontario. His father owned a demolition company, giving a young Rheeder the opportunity to build his own jumps. Like many young riders into bikes, Bret developed a knowledge of bikes by working in a local bike shop as a teenager. Rheeder loves his sports even when off his mountain bike; he is also interested in motocross, BMX, snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding. Rheeder is best known for his big air and even bigger tricks, such as his favourite move - the Cork 720. He also loves his sports even when off his mountain bike; he has a keen interest in motocross, BMX, snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding.

A recent evaluation of the building by an engineer and roofer shows the damage is much worse than the council originally expected.
"It appears that the armory roof is not salvageable, at least not for a reasonable amount of money," Mayor Randy Stephens told the council at Tuesday's meeting.
He said the engineer estimated the cost to replace the roof and the materials damaged by the years of leaks and neglect at $250,000.
In addition to the negative opinions expressed by the experts the city called, the city's insurance carrier, the Alabama Municipal Insurance Corporation, recently inspected all of the city's buildings. In regards to the armory, the company has sent a letter to the city saying they will drop coverage of the building and the city must vacate it immediately, whether they plan to remove it or repair it.
They have deemed the building unsafe and the city must reply to them with a plan for dealing with it.
Stephens discussed the option of getting a new metal building or possibly buying an old chicken house to house the street department equipment.
The original building at the center of the building is still sound and not currently leaking, but it was built in 1964 and would likely need a new roof soon, according to Stephens.
The sides of the building, which were added after the original construction and the flat roof on that part of the building have caused the problem.
The council will hold a work session on Tuesday, April 1, at 6 p.m. to discuss the options for removing or replacing the armory.
In other business:
•The council approved $440-$600 for minor repairs to the city's retired garbage truck in order to allow the truck to be sold.
•The street department was able to remove all the old brush that had been stacking up around the city without renting a truck, although Stephens cautioned that was a "bandaid approach" and the council may have to revisit some equipment to help with that in the future.
•The council heard the first reading of an application for T.J.'s in Burnwell to sell alcohol for off-premise consumption and for Horse Creek Bistro to sell beer and wine for on-premise consumption.
•The council approved a bid from G&L Roofing out of Empire to reroof the city hall, civic center and all buildings in the city's park.
These roofs were damaged by previous storms and will be covered by the insurance company.

Rob Duke's curator insight, September 1, 11:31 AM
My great-grandfather was a cop and the stories I heard tell me that things never change much on the street (25 years later when I was a cop). There are predators who see the rest of us as prey; and, the cops are, for most people, the only protection from these guys and the criminal organizations that they form. The system is such, and has always been such, that if you follow every procedure, rule, policy and law, you would engage in enforcement paralysis. As Kissinger once remarked, he rather naively thought it would be easy to advise a President. What he found was that all the easy questions were answered out in the field in Wichita or Columbus and that the only questions that reached the President were the "damned if you do" types of problems. Cops are faced with this same problem and the policy manuals don't help much in these situations, so it's all judgement calls. Like Alexander, especially under fire, cops often cut the Gordian Knot, and, that is why I say, it's always been and always will be the same in that cops on the line between civilization and savagery are going to be warriors. What we may be lamenting is the loss of a basic adherence to principles that uphold truth and human dignity before anything else. Cops seem to have traded these values for security and justice, which are inferior versions of truth and human dignity. Why has this substitution taken place? For one, the courts have followed a due process, equal protection path for obvious reasons given America's race relations history. But, frankly, it goes back to the Kissinger Paradox that I mentioned above, and the organizational tendency to think we can build a Weberian "iron cage" around every decision and social problem (recall that Max Weber worried that bureaucracy was ultimately too impersonal and would come to be an iron cage). So, to the extent possible, I advocate throwing out the iron cage and the police "proverbs" that support the ideas of security and justice and create some new proverbs that uplift the values of truth and human dignity. For more on this go to our webpage at uaf.edu/justice and read my working paper "The Proverbs of Police Administration". Oh, and let me know what you think...
Rob Duke's comment, August 30, 11:29 PM
See also Graham v. Connor (1989). Al Jazeera shouldn't mention Tn v. Garner without also explaining Graham. While TN v. Garner prohibited shooting a fleeing felon as they have described, Connor establishes a standard of reasonableness to determine if an seizure by law enforcement is lawful.
Rob Duke's comment, August 28, 12:49 PM
Most of us know that google and the other usual suspects are tracking our most intimate details when using the internet (more and more accomplished on mobile devices), yet we all still keep putting our info out there. Given this, I don't think mobile technology should have the same expectation of privacy.

Over a 12-season NBA career, Mark Price had one of the best shots in the NBA and one of the best commands of the pick-and-roll, the foundation of most pro offenses.
The Charlotte Bobcats need to fix Michael Kidd-Gilchrists jump shot and refine Kemba Walkers choices in pick-and-roll sets. Enter Price.
When new-assistant Price wasnt working on Kidd-Gilchrists shot technique this week, he was probably at the other end of the practice gym, teaching Walker a floater that could make him more effective driving off the pick.
New coach Steve Clifford hired Price as an assistant, after Price had worked with several teams in more of a player development/shot doctor capacity. Hes jumped quickly into the mix as the Bobcats prepare for their first Las Vegas summer league game Friday (10 p.m., vs. the San Antonio Spurs on NBATV.)
Hes been through it. I know I have the opportunity to learn from him, Walker said of Price. We were talking about trying to get guys off-balance going up with the floater rather than (always) going all the way to the basket.
Price and Walker are both 6-foot. Price was one of the best-shooting guards in NBA history, going 47 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the foul line. Part of that was pure accuracy. Part of it was finding easier ways to get quality shot attempts.
When youre smaller and I was smaller, so I can relate you have to be creative in how you get shots off, Price said. (Against) the big guys in this league, the deeper you take it the tougher it is to score in this league.
The other area Price can help Walker in is decision-making. There were times last season when Walker would react to a trap by throwing the pass to whichever teammate was open. In general thats a good instinct, but only if the player catching the ball can finish the play.
Its not just (the willingness to) pass the ball, its putting them in spots where they can be successful, Price said. He may be open but hes 20 percent when he shoots from that spot.
The challenge with Kidd-Gilchrist is more fundamental. He arrived in the NBA with a jump shot loaded with flaws: Sidespin off his wrist, a release after the top of his jump. Kidd-Gilchrist attempted nine 3-pointers last season, making two. An effective NBA small forward needs to be a better shooter.
His wrist and his elbow is his biggest thing right now. But hes never been taught good footwork and balance, said Price. Most people believe shooting starts from the waist up and Im a believer it starts with the feet. If you dont start right, its hard to finish right.
Price says Kidd-Gilchrist has always gotten by on athleticism and skills in other areas, so the shooting was never really addressed until he turned pro. Theres no quick fix.
I love his attitude we get up shots before and after practice every day. He knows thats a weakness in his game right now, Price said. Its not going to be an overnight process. Hed like for it to be fixed tomorrow, but hes going to have to be patient and trust me. I have no doubt hell get better.

On Friday in the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft, chaos ensued in war rooms across the country. Teams went scrambling looking to trade up and down, while others waited for their selection and frantically tried to figure out who was the best player available.
Then there was the AFC East, where strange things tend to happen. Of course, some very good picks were made as well. All that said, let's get to the grades.
Buffalo Bills: B+
Of all the AFC East teams on Friday, the Bills did the best for themselves. Following a very "interesting" first round pick of E.J. Manuel, Buffalo went out and selected USC wide receiver Robert Woods and Oregon linebacker Kiko Alonso in the second round before nabbing receiver Marquise Goodwin out of Texas in the third.
Woods is one of the most underrated players in the draft, a true playmaker who can stretch the field in both directions. Alonso has had some off the field issues, but on Saturday's he dominated. NFL Network analyst Charles Davis loves the selection.
Goodwin made the Olympics as a track star, so getting down the field won't be an issue. He could be another impressive weapon for Manuel.
Miami Dolphins: C
General manager Jeff Ireland bolstered his secondary with Boise St. cornerback Jamar Taylor in the second round and Utah St. corner Will Davis in the third. Sandwiched in between those picks was Tennessee offensive tackle Dallas Thomas.
However, Taylor was perhaps a bit of a reach for the Dolphins. With so many corners on the board at the 54th pick, Taylor was surprising. There are split opinions on whether Thomas can play the tackle spot. CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco likes the move.
Davis is another player who likely could have been had later in the draft, but he shows ability. Mayock thinks there is considerable upside.
New England Patriots: C
As usual, New England had a bevy of mid-round picks. In 2013, the Patriots had four selections on Friday and took linebacker Jamie Collins of Southern Miss and wide receiver Aaron Dobson of Marshall in the second round. They chose a pair of Rutgers Scarlet Knights with corner Logan Ryan and safety Duron Harmon in the third.
Collins appears to be a steal as an athlete who can bend and get around the edge as a pass-rusher. Prisco believes this pick will be terrific. Dobson is a project at 210 pounds who really needs more seasoning.
Ryan has some upside but may have been a bit of a reach. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock would seem to agree. Harmon was a player who could have been had in the sixth and seventh round. This pick made no sense.
New York Jets: D+
No team makes personnel decisions with their hands over their eyes more often than New York.
In the second round with needs all over the field, new general manager John Idzik took quarterback Geno Smith. The good news? The Jets have six signal-callers on the roster. The bad news? The circus lives on. New York clearly doesn't realize how many holes exist on the offensive side of the ball. Smith has no chance this season.
In the third round, the Jets wised up and took guard Brian Winters from Kent State. After losing both of their starting guards in the offseason including Brandon Moore - he of the butt fumble - a guard was needed. Winters provides some competition on the interior. Mayock likes the pick.
More from SB Nation:
• Geno Smith going to Jets, predicts playoffs
• Manti Te'o fills need for Chargers
• The Honey Badger heads to Arizona
• NFL draft results: 1st round | 2nd round
• Complete Day 2 picks and analysis
• NFL draft grades: Reviewing the first round
