VELLORE: Volunteers should come forward to join the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) and the Youth Red Cross (YRC) without expectation and render selfless service to the public, A.R. Veeramani, YRC zonal coordinator of Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore, said here on Friday.
Delivering the keynote address at the one-day district-level YRC study camp at the Dhanabagyam Krishnaswamy Mudaliar College for Women, Dr. Veeramani said that no marks were awarded to school or college students for their participation in YRC activities as was the case in NSS programmes. The IRCS had been opposing any such move, which would possibly help the students at the time of admission to higher educational institutions. It would encourage the youth to join the movement with a service motive and to discourage those who want to join it for the sake of extra credits.
Dr. Veeramani said that it was regrettable that the YRC was not functioning well in many colleges. Commending the YRC at the DKM College for Women, he called upon the teachers to instil a spirit of service in volunteers. Franco Benedict, General Secretary, Trauma Care & Road Safety (T-CARS) Trust, Vellore, who gave a talk on "Trauma Care and Road Safety", appealed to YRC members to learn primary trauma care so that they were equipped to provide first aid to accident victims during the golden hour and transport them to the nearest hospital to save their lives.
R. Manimekalai, principal, DKM College for Women presided. Ameena Bibi, YRC district organiser, DKM college, welcomed.
L.M.V. Devakumar, former banker, spoke on "Anger Management". K.V. Vittoba, counsellor, IRCS, district branch spoke on "Counselling on AIDS".

In one sense, this article is a personal tribute to Woody Bledsoe. As such, the style will in general be that of private correspondence. However, since this article is also a compendium of experiments with an automated reasoning program, researchers interested in automated reasoning, mathematics, and logic will find pertinent material here. The results of those experiments strongly suggest that research frequently benefits greatly from the use of an automated reasoning program. As evidence, I select from those results some proofs that are better than one can find in the literature, and focus on some theorems that, until now, had never been proved with an automated reasoning program, theorems that Hilbert, Church, and various logicians thought significant. To add spice to the article, I present challenges for reasoning programs, including questions that are still open. 1 This work was supported by the Applied Mathematical Sciences subprogram of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Depa...

Altogether 52 patients received a pacemaker, of which 26 had a positive table tilt test result(TT+) and 26 patients a negative table tilt test (TT-)result. After 21 months the syncope recurrence rates were 55% (95% CI 29-85) in TT+ patients fitted with the pacemaker versus 5% ( 95%CI 1-32)in TT- patients fitted with the pace maker (p=0.004). When the recurrence rate of 55% in the TT+ patients was compared to 44 untreated patients (who acted as controls) who had recurrence rates of 64% the difference was not found to be statistically significant (p=0.75).
For patients with negative table tilt tests, the observed 5% recurrence rate was similar to that observed for patients paced for cardiac intrinsic bradycardia. "Thus, pacemaker therapy can be offered to these patients with the same confidence as it can in patients with sick sinus syndrome or AV block," said Prof. Brignole. "Such patients can be reassured that, after pacemaker implantation, they'll likely be free from reoccurrences of syncope."
But before pace maker therapy is offered to patients with TT+ even if they have experienced an asystolic response during the tilt test patience should be cautioned they may have reoccurances. "Although some benefits may still be possible in terms of reduced syncope burden, patients should be informed that they'll likely have some recurrences despite pacing," said Prof. Brignole.
Most of the misdiagnoses in the study were due to intrinsic cardiac arrhythmias which were largely unpredictable from baseline characteristics. "This aspect, which has not yet been clarified in the literature, may be relevant in clinical practice," he said, adding that it further justifies the usage of the ILR diagnostic tool.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on Senate staff parental leave policies and procedures, and child care services within the Legislative Branch.
GAO noted that: (1) most Senate offices and committees surveyed had paternal and maternal leave policies; (2) the Legislative Branch treated paternal and maternal leave as distinct leave categories; (3) Senate committee parental leave policies and procedures varied widely; (4) about half of Senate offices and committees surveyed would allow leave for a seriously ill child; (5) the Legislative Branch has generally chosen to follow Office of Personnel Management parental leave policy, which combines sick leave, annual leave, and leave without pay for child care needs; (6) the Senate and the House of Representatives each operate a child care center, while most legislative agencies lack management support, adequate funding or space for child care facilities; and (7) it and the Government Printing Office planned to open child care facilities in 1990.

Systemic changes are yet to happen in police organisations
Police in India is a gargantuan organisation and attempts to initiate systemic changes have succeeded only to a limited extent. Considering the rapid developments India is witnessing, changes in police organisation in the country have not been keeping pace.
The reasons could be many. It could be 'change resistance' on the part of the police leaders who could have got so accustomed to the comforts of the 'status quo'; or the extreme reluctance of the political leadership, which has the ultimate control over the State's institutions like the police, to usher in changes.
India, as a result, continues to present a conflicting picture of new and rapid changes being implemented on social, economic and industrial fronts, while it appears to struggle in enforcing a change in one of its important organs like the law enforcement agencies. Another factor that further accentuates this contradiction is the availability of abundant research material and police leaders who would willingly become the agents of change. And yet, the organisational change still eludes the Indian police.
However, there have been many instances in which police leaders in their individual capacities have brought about changes in the functioning of their units and some have even attempted to initiate a culture change. But sadly, these brilliant and replicable experiments have just been confined to media reports or research papers.
This is what, Arvind Verma, author of The New Khaki: The Evolving Nature of Policing in India attempts to chronicle in his treatise. The nine chapters in this thought-provoking book deal with various aspects of the institution of police and try to identify what exactly is going on.
Exchanging ideas
The author quotes several examples of sincere officers who thought out-of-the-box and implemented some changes which immediately began yielding the desired results. Examples are the initiative of an officer who opened a communication channel on email (India TopCop) which provided a platform for leaders to exchange or debate ideas; or the case of Bihar where ensuring a two-way communication channel between the police leaders and the subordinate forces led to the introduction of a system where authorities systematically pursued cases in courts and succeeded in getting convictions.
Another officer in Andhra Pradesh succeeded in implementing the WHAM (Winning Hearts and Minds) strategies to fight Maoist forces. In West Bengal, a sincere officer succeeded in curbing the practice of under-reporting or not registering the complaints. The author provides sufficient evidence to prove the efficacy of the efforts by citing statistics.
It is clear that despite the successes being witnessed and felt, these experiments did not obviously continue. Neither were they replicated elsewhere. It is in this backdrop Arvind Verma builds up a very strong argument about the need for linking the research to the field works. Through these nine chapters, he comes up with an unquestionable argument about the need to bridge the gap between the research and the practitioners on the field.
Candid remarks
In many instances, the author does not hesitate to call a spade a spade. Be it frank references to the inability of the police leaders to welcome the change for their personal gains or to the reluctance of the politician to change the status quo, he does make some candid remarks in the book.
Apart from the example-based chapters, the author provides a macroscopic view of the situation prevailing in the country and how information technology and research could change the way police function in the rapidly changing society where criminals and terrorists begin to influence society through a variety of means including terror and technology.
Valuable contributions of officers after their retirement are referred to in detail. KPS Gill did not just win the war with terrorists in Punjab, but after his retirement began a research portal which successfully countered the challenges posed by terrorist organisations on the web. The methodical open source intelligence-based analysis and statistics by satp.org (South Asia Terrorism Portal) have become reference points for security planners not only in India but also abroad.
Similar is the role played by another retired officer Prakash Singh who never tired of moving around the courts to get the order for implementation of the police commission on tenure of officers.
If these efforts of retired officers have begun yielding the desired results, the systemic changes are yet to happen in the police organisations. One is left with the inescapable conclusion that change is considered as a one-time event and not as a continuous process in the police department in India.

Critical Read
What: Brookings Institution's 'Cybersecurity and Trade: National Policies, Global and Local Consequences,'
Why: As the world increasingly relies on the Internet as part of critical infrastructure, policies to govern cyberspace are beginning to emerge in numerous countries. Many of them primarily target the security of national networks and systems, but those policies are affecting other areas, including the private sector, trade and the international market for IT goods and services.
Verbatim: "It is one thing to propose broad goals. It is another to work towards enacting these strategies. It is the policies that fulfill these strategic goals that will shape the digital future, defining cyberspace not just for the countries themselves, but the broader globalized Internet society. As countries begin to implement policy and 'the focused application of specific governmental levers and information assurance principles,' the differences can inform us about what works and what does not."

Threads that should be unsticky'd and why...
First of all, NVNews is great, my home and will continue to be my home
Never have I posted at a message board that is perfect, but NVNews is close to it... the dedicated forums for big games are great, and the community is perfect. My only problem is... the stickys. Don't get me wrong, stickys are great, but one too many stickys causes a scrolling nightmare (and I'm at 1600x1200!)
Don't get me wrong, NVNEWS is my homepage, my favorite site, I think Mike does an excellent job, I just think pruning a few stickys would help clean the site up.
These are the threads I think should be unsticky'd

We all know that Pope Benedict the XVI stepped down last week as pontiff of the Catholic Church. Most people figured that it was because he was an old fart that couldn't hack it anymore. But recent rumors have surfaced that maybe Benny just wanted to spend some time with his boyfriend. Yeah, like bite the pillow kind of boyfriend. His personal "secretary" Georg Gaenswein is going to continue to live with Benedict in the Vatican while serving the new pope. Um, I'm pretty sure the Church can afford to pay a nurse or something to take care of Benedict. They probably just want to open up a bed and breakfast in St. Peter's Square.
I don't care if the pope is gay. At least he isn't diddling altar boys…covering up for people who were diddling altar boys, yes, but not doing it himself. The funny part is everyone's shocked reaction to the idea that the pope might be gay. Please, people, let's look at the facts: 1) You get to wear jeweled capes that even Liberace would say are over the top. 2) You get your own special red custom Italian shoes that only you can wear. That way you aren't embarrassed when someone else shows up with a matching pair at a cocktail party. 3) You get to live with hundreds of men. How wouldn't that appeal? What happens at St. Peter's stays in St. Peter's.

HoopsHype Mickael Gelabale rumors
Darren Wolfson: #Twolves notes unearthed: Stiemsma's deal becomes fully guaranteed for '13-'14 if on the roster July 17. Gelabale same deal, date: July 22. Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Davis tugs at his left knee as he explains, and demonstrates how, in order to keep it straight, he needed to lift his leg with his hand. NBA doctors, Davis says, misdiagnosed the injury as tendinitis. He recently learned that the injury was actually a patellar tendon tear, for which he underwent surgery and rehabilitation. Now he says he's ready to resume his NBA career. In January, he got a shot with a workout for the Timberwolves. But Minnesota passed on bringing Davis back. "They signed [Mickael] Gelabale for the whole year," Davis says. "I played with him in France, so that really makes me sick. That makes me really sick. That really hurts. They signed him for the whole year." Grantland
Adelman said midseason acquisitions Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson have shown enough that they are candidates to be on the team next season, especially if they work on their games during the offseason. "This summer will be big for them," Adelman said. "We like them both." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Still, it might be Johnson who has the best chance to stick with the team long term, because of his size (6-11) and jumping ability. "We don't have somebody like that," Kahn said. Kahn indicated both players would be given the chance to work into the team's future plans. "I think in both cases there is a pathway to being here next year," he said. "It's not a done deal, but there is a pathway. Chris may be in a little bit of a different instance because [of his size]. So I would say he probably especially has a chance." Wolves coach Rick Adelman made clear that signing the two shouldn't preclude the team from trying to improve the roster more. "We'd better be hoping to do something," he said. "We have to improve this team." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Minnesota Timberwolves announced that they have signed Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale for the season. The Timberwolves waived Lou Amundson. Sportando
Joan Nielsen: Gelabale has challenged the media to conduct his interviews in French. This could get dicey. Twitter @JoanNiesen
Mickael Gelabale was in the NBA a while ago, didn't do much, then headed overseas to hoop following a stint in the D-League in 2009. If you know Mickael Gelabale at gela-all, it's because of his glorious, glorious dreadlocks. Other than that, not a terribly notable player. Which is why it's notable that Gelabale returned this season, both to the Olympics and more recently to the Timberwolves, sans dreadlocks. When a guy you only know for his hair doesn't have his hair, it's strange. As it turns out, there's a reason for that — the dreads weighed so much they were messing with his body. The Score
Both center Chris Johnson and swingman Michael Gelabale will be around a little while longer. Both signed a second 10-day contract with the Timberwolves, the team announced Tuesday. That means the team was granted another roster injury exception. Johnson has appeared in five games for the Wolves, averaging 9.2 points while shooting 18-for-25 (72.0 percent). He has also averaged 3.8 rebounds while playing 17.2 minutes per game. Johnson, who was in training camp with the Wolves, came back to Minnesota from San Jose of the Development League. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Wolves will re-sign both Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson for the rest of the season, won't they? They almost certainly will, but they will have to make a roster move to do so. The Wolves used an open roster spot to sign Gelabale to a 10-day contract and are likely to resign him to another when the first one expires Tuesday. They signed Johnson to a 10-day deal after the league granted their request for a roster exception because they had four players injured for the next two weeks or more. They could reapply for another exception Tuesday, but thereafter would have to create a roster spot for him because a player can only be signed to two 10-day deals before their contract must be guaranteed for the rest of the season. To do so, the Wolves would have to trade a player such as Lou Amundson for a future pick or waive a player. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Timberwolves forward Mickael Gelabale, signed to a 10-day contract Saturday morning, Jan. 19, had recommendations from fellow French-born NBA players Tony Parker of San Antonio, Nicolas Batum of Portland and Ronny Turiaf of the Los Angeles Clippers. Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn said he spoke to Parker before the Wolves' game in San Antonio last Sunday and had someone reach out to Batum to get his opinion. Gelabale played with Parker, Batum and Turiaf on France's national team last summer in the London Olympics. "He was brought to our attention a couple of weeks ago," Kahn said. "Nobody should expect him to come in and score 30 points. That's not the type of player he is. He can do a little of everything." St. Paul Pioneer Press
The injury-depleted Timberwolves have signed forward Mickael Gelabale to a 10-day contract, the team said Saturday. Gelabale, 29, last played in the NBA in 2008, with the Seattle SuperSonics. This season the 6-foot-7 forward has been playing professionally in Europe and Spain. Last year, he played for the French national team in the London Olympics. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
After several days contemplating how to bolster their injury-laden roster , the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday signed small forward Mickael Gelabale and center Chris Johnson to 10-day contracts. Fox Sports North
Jerry Zgoda: Wolves now with injury exception can sign two players -- Gelabale and somebody else big -- to 10-day contracts Twitter @JerryZgoda
The Wolves formally will sign Gelabale, 29, on Friday after Lazar Hayward's 10-contract expires. "He deserves to be in this league," said Clippers center Ronny Turiaf, who played with Gelabale on the French Olympic team in London last summer. "People are always trying to put other people in boxes. He is a basketball player. He can score. He's going to do whatever he has to do to help the team win. Yes, he can play defense, but he's not just a defender." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to terms with French swingman Mickael Gelabale. Terms of the deal were not immediately available, but Gelabale was expected to join the injury-filled Wolves on Friday after Lazar Hayward's 10-day contract expires. NBA.com
Darren Wolfson: The expectation is still that Mickaël Gelabale will be joining the #Twolves & Lazar Hayward's tenure is over. But nothing is official yet. Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Vicente Solà, president of Valencia Basket, confirmed that Mickael Gelabale may soon sign a 10-day contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spanish club hopes to have him back when his contract in NBA expires. "He has not signed yet his contract with the Wolves. He may soon sign a 10-day contract. Hopefully we can have him back when his deal with Minnesota expires. But his future is not up to us" said Solà to LigaEN Punto Valencia. Sportando

Best 50mm lens for your camera: 8 'Nifty Fifty' lenses tested and rated
Best 50mm lens for your camera: Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM
Price: £350
You can expect f/1.4 lenses to be bigger and heavier than their f/1.8 counterparts, but the Sigma really does go large in its design.
At 505g, it's about twice the weight of some f/1.4 lenses on test, and up to four times the weight of the f/1.8 lenses.
Meanwhile, its extra girth is reflected in its oversized 77mm filter thread, where most other 50mm f/1.4 lenses have a 58mm thread (55mm for the Sony).
Extra weight isn't necessarily bad news, however: the Sigma feels well balanced when shooting on big, full-frame cameras.
As with the Nikon lenses here, autofocus is courtesy of a fast and whisper-quiet ultrasonic ring-type system. It's accurate, and full-time manual override is silky smooth, with a well-positioned and high-precision focus ring.
Build quality feels tough and dependable, although there are no weather seals fitted to the lens. In common with only the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens group, the Sigma features nine diaphragm blades, where most others have only seven.
This helps to maintain a well-rounded aperture, from wide to medium settings. A petal-shaped lens hood and carrying pouch are supplied with the lens, both of which are of good quality.
A bonus of the Sigma's large front element is that vignetting is fairly minimal, even when shooting at f/1.4 on a full-frame body. Bokeh is smooth and pleasant, but the lens is a bit of an under-achiever when it comes to image sharpness at wide apertures.

Will Smith pitched two-hit ball over seven innings in the longest of his five major league starts, Lorenzo Cain hit a two-run homer in the first, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 on Tuesday night. Smith (2-3) allowed a run, struck out four and walked four against the club that drafted him in 2007 and traded him to Kansas City in 2010. The only hits against the 23-year-old left-hander came in the first inning - a line-drive single through the box by Torii Hunter and an RBI single by Mark Trumbo that followed a walk to Albert Pujols. Jonathan Broxton allowed two singles during a scoreless ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances. Garrett Richards (3-2) gave up four runs, five hits and three walks in five innings. The 24-year-old right-hander, who is trying to secure the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation, got the nod this time around after Jerome Williams went 0-5 with a 7.53 ERA in his previous five starts and was relegated to the bullpen.

The Linux Graphics Driver Stack Remains Insecure
Published on 02 February 2013 11:56 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
10 Comments
The Linux graphics driver stack remains currently insecure with some fundamental issues that jeopardize the Linux desktop's integrity, but improvements are still being made to address the current issues.
Martin Peres and Timothée Ravier ignited the Linux graphics security discussion this morning in Brussels during FOSDEM. Their talk, which was entitled "DRI-next/DRM2: A walk through the Linux Graphics stack and its security", went over the current issues and some of what's being tried to improve the situation. The idea ultimately comes down to exposing a secure API to user-land and restricting GPU's RAM access rights.
The insecurity of Linux graphics isn't new but has been talked about previously in past years and what's been the driving forces behind
. The key goals being worked towards with these Linux graphics security improvements are to fight potential eavesdropping, tampering, and denial of service attack vectors that are possible with the current Linux graphics drivers and stack.
DRM2 / Render Nodes attempts to take care of DRM authentication policy and improve buffer sharing. The Direct Rendering Manager improvements would also allow using GPGPU/OpenCL applications without running an X.Org Server and other benefits. DRI-Next is about improving X.Org Server communication to fix shortcomings of DRI2 and DMA-BUF instead of GEM to share buffers.
What's still left TODO for DRM2 is to fix the DRM buffer object mmap-ing address from per-device to per-FDs, reworking the patches, including support for more graphics driver, testing every combination to check for no regressions, and porting DRM2 to Wayland/Weston. With DRI-Next, there's still research being done about using UNIX sockets for FD passing.
Right now in the Linux graphics driver world there's safeguards being used by different drivers to prevent other processes from reading/writing to memory that isn't their own. The ideal way is isolating users in a separate VM by restricting a GPU user to its own data through abstracting the memory address space. This method is already used by the Nouveau driver for NVIDIA GeFore 8 hardware and newer while it's possible to be supported by the AMD Radeon HD 7000 series and newer along with Intel Sandy Bridge graphics and newer.
The problem with this separate VM approach though is that it does increase the context-switching delay, which could particularly cause problems when using DRI2 and Qt5 and other cases. Right now what the Radeon and Intel open-source drivers is command submission validation by making sure they aren't accessing bad areas of RAM. This method yields a lower context-switching delay and doesn't have any specific hardwae requirements, but does come at a cost of higher CPU usage with needing to check the CS packets for their validity.
Among the ultimate goals expressed by Martin and Timothée are making it possible to implement activities and provide security between them, allow the end-user to decide what they want (e.g. if they want per-application isolation or prefer better performance), and to prepare the stack for GPGPU shared clusters and soon-to-come WebGL applications with better graphics driver security.
In their FOSDEM 2013 summary, they say the current state of affairs is that there's no confidentiality or integration between applications run by the same user, the current Linux graphics stack makes it possible to spy on users, there's no input security with X11 (but there is with Wayland/Weston), and that DRM2/DRI-Next should be good for stepping up the Linux graphics security.

Mandriva CEO Refutes Acquisition Rumor
Arnaud Laprévote clears the air on the official Mandriva blog.
Mandriva S.A. CEO Arnaud Laprévote responded to rumors that the Linux distro had been sold, stressing that the company behind the Linux distro had not been sold.
In a blog post titled, "About Mandriva's Current Situation" Laprévote cited that while the company is in takeover talks with several investors, the talks themselves are nothing new and have been going on for quite some time. Laprévote cited Mandriva's acquisitions of Edge-IT, Conectiva and Linbox FAS as examples of the company's ingenuity during slow economic times.
These acquisitions in combination with improvements to their core product were responsible for the heightened investor interest.
Laprévote ended his post by saying, "We are beginning to harvest the results of this development work with hundreds of thousands of PCs using the Mandriva OS sold in South America, Asia and rapid sales of Pulse2 and MES5 in Europe."
With that in mind, it doesn't look like investor speculation will end any time soon.

I don't have experience with that particular product, but have seen powerful ozoneaters used in a couple of cases.
One case was a strong "smokers" smell in an otherwise pristene boat. The (rented) ozone generator was placed in the boat for 3 - 4 days, during which time no one entered, and then let to sit for a couple of days more before using the boat. This appeared to get rid of this particular smell.
In the second case it was more of a general "boaty" odor such as you describe - a cocktail of head odour, fiberglass, teakoil, bilge etc. - and though some improvement was noted, it did not eliminate the smell.
The differing results are likely from the fact that in the first case the source (the smoker) was eliminated, in the second the source(s) is/are likely still there and contributing to the odor again.
So it sounds to me like you'd be best off to try to eliminate the source and use the ozone treatment to remove any residual odor.

Position Number: F29090
Location: Doha, Qatar
Position Begins: August 10, 2015
VCUQatar is the Qatar campus of the prestigious Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Richmond, Virginia. Established in 1998 through a partnership with Qatar Foundation, VCUQatar offers students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in fashion design, graphic design, interior design and painting & printmaking, a Bachelor of Arts degree in art history and a Master of Fine Arts degree in design.
Located in Doha, the capital city of Qatar, VCUQatar is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art & Design, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Council for Interior Design Accreditation.
VCUQatar was the first campus established in Education City, and has since been joined by Weill Cornell Medical College, Texas A&M University, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, Carnegie-Mellon University, Northwestern University, HEC Paris, and University College London.
Qatar is a liberal, hospitable and progressive country in the Arabian Gulf and remains one of the healthiest economies in the Gulf region. English is the standard second language and the population of Qatar is approximately 2.27 million and growing – 350,000 Qatari, the remainder expatriates. Doha offers all the conveniences found in a contemporary and cosmopolitan city, and also maintains a traditional Arab flavor, evident in the old markets and the city's Islamic Arab architecture. The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I.M.Pei opened in November 2008 and the Arab Museum of Modern Art (Mathaf) opened in 2010. The US Embassy considers Qatar among the safest countries in the world for Americans.
VCUQatar Art History Program
The BA in Art History at VCUQatar is the only undergraduate degree program of its kind in the Gulf region and offers a distinctive concentration in Islamic art within a global perspective. The program is designed to focus on the interchange among the Islamic World, the Western World and the non-Islamic cultures of Asia. Such a degree offers students the opportunity to study the complexity of cultural interchange that has formed the basis of our increasingly globalized modern and contemporary world. It shifts a Western-oriented curriculum prevalent in most university art history programs to one that encompasses a multi-cultural approach. This approach reflects the geographical location and historical involvement of Qatar, which since Antiquity has been part of international trade routes linking both the Central Islamic lands, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.
The Art History Program seeks a full-time 9-month faculty member at the Assistant Professor level to teach undergraduate art history courses in support of the BA in Art History curriculum. The program seeks a specialist in Modern and Contemporary Art, within the context of a global discourse. Preference will be given to candidates whose research interests broadly engage with issues in contemporary art. We are especially keen to receive applications from candidates whose teaching and research interests include modern and contemporary art of Middle East. Candidates with experience in teaching museum studies, museum education, and exhibition strategies in a global context are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with the museums in Doha (Museum of Islamic Art, MATHAF—Museum of Modern Arab Art, the upcoming Qatar National Museum) and other institutions in the region.
The successful candidate will join a department of six full-time art historians, committed to excellence in teaching and fostering a strong research culture. The candidate will work closely with the Director of the program to develop courses in areas of modern and contemporary art to complement existing art history curriculum. The faculty must be committed to engage collaboratively with colleagues within the Art History program as well as across disciplines with the various design and studio departments at VCUQatar. An interest in exploring innovative pedagogic strategies in a culturally diverse context must be demonstrated.
The teaching responsibilities include introductory surveys of Global Art History, as well as upper division art history courses in his/her areas of specialization. The normal teaching load is 2 courses per semester, and class sizes are small (typically 10-17). As teaching art history faculty work very closely with students, the successful candidate is required to maintain office hours to meet with students, serve as academic advisers, contribute to the function and educational objectives of the program, provide service to the university, the community in Qatar and the profession, and perform all other duties as assigned. The candidate is required to engage in the development and delivery of significant research agenda, seek publication, and present at international conferences. Art history faculty members are also encouraged to liaise with museums within the Gulf area and facilitate exhibitions.
The candidate must demonstrate scholarly and professional activities that make a significant contribution to a body of knowledge within the arts, and reflect a high standard of excellence in teaching, research, and pedagogy. Excellence in research is evidenced by scholarly publications, conference presentations, invited talks, curatorial projects, and significant awards recognizing scholarly activity and output. The faculty will also have the opportunity to collaborate with our colleagues in the VCU-Richmond art history program, which has a strong focus on modern and contemporary art.
Courses offered within this program are consistent with those offered at the Virginia Commonwealth University – Monroe Park Campus in Richmond, Virginia, with the added benefit of a multicultural sensitivity consistent with living and teaching in Doha, Qatar. Our students come from many countries and cultures, as do the faculty and employee members of Virginia Commonwealth University Qatar, so it is imperative successful candidates are able to interact and thrive in such a multicultural environment. The ideal candidate will be actively engaged in collaboration with colleagues across disciplines in this diverse learning environment.

Do you have any favorite memory techniques? These might include mnemonics, memory games, repetition, association and other strategies to boost your memory. Share your best tips here and pick up some more great memory techniques that other readers have suggested.
Forming a Strong Bond
- First of all, I recognize the key word in the given material and then I link up the same to something existed information in my memory. It create a strong bond for memorizing new information.
- —Guest sunil
Best way to change your character.
- Whenever you are standing in a position of argument are any moment, just imagine that one of your character is watching your style & response and another character is watching behind you the things going on and the another one is your real HERO character. This way we can groom up.
- —r_sezhian
Word Association and Flashcards
- I use word associations and repetitious flashcards. I think that these are the best way to commit information to memory.
- —Guest Brecken
Learning is a continuous process
- We all are students. Learn with enthusiasm. That is the key point. Then apply what you studied with what you have learned now and what you know already. That's it!
- —Guest manu mathew
Good..but incomplete
- You miss one of the most important things. Exercise. Exercise = higher O2 = BDNF production = neurogenesis in hippocampus (among other good things) = better working memory. I go over in more detail here: http://www.brainlings.com/2011/11/hi-how-to-improve-your-memory/
- —Guest mrnuts777
Natural Memory Boosters
- Further advice: sufficient B12 intake, ginseng, rosemary, sage, hemp seeds, green tea. I'm sure there are many more memory boosters out there for the taking. If you know of one, please share (natural ones are my personal favs.)! Awesome knowledge database on which researchers from all around the globe- myself included- post their work for free: www.academia.edu
- —Guest Poppy Valentine
- I like to use mnemonics to remember difficult equations that I have learned the previous day. Coming up with short words that represent different parts of the equation makes it much easier to remember.
- —Guest Nuttyalmond
Make a name
- For questions that have several amswers like "types of social stratification" take first letter of each answer and make a name like class, caste,ethnicity,gender, race would be CCEGENRR OR CCEGENDERR.
- —Guest Delilah
Remembering Names
- When I am trying to remember a person's name, I run through the alphabet in my head. The letter that the person's name begins with will usually jump out to me, and 9 times out of 10 I'll remember their full name.
- —melissakeogh25
Director APTAC
- I like to use Mnemonic associations. I like to use link lists, numeric association lists. I have studied the books by Harry Loraynne and found them very useful. they are The Memory Book, The Page a Minute Memory Book and The Super Power Memory Book. I have read other books as well but I find Harry Loryanne to be the best.
- —Guest John Bowden
Memory tip
- In my opinion, the best way of memorizing is to first read, underline the matter, write down on your note book in own handwriting, at last revise it in 24 hours. This especially before sleeping, since you can learn unconsciously.
- —Guest ranjeet"sagar"
- I try to asociate new information with already learned ones and it helps me acquire the new one.
- —Guest Rocio
Listen, Write, Read
- The memory technique that works best for me is what I like to call "Listen, Write, Read." Basically, I hear something, I write it down and then I read my notes again later. This strategy really seems to cement information in my memory.
- —Guest Shareen

Duringthe second day of testimony, prosecutors used defendant Jon Thomas Ford's buddy to poke holes in his alibi that he was home alone at the time his ex-girlfriend, Dana Clair Edwards, was strangled to death in 2009.
They used to hang out together, the four of them. Now the other couple is speaking out about their distrust for the man accused of killing their friend, his ex.
Melissa Federspill says Edwards confided in her that she had misgivings about her ex-boyfriend in the months after their breakup.
He seemed upset and during the time that she was with him, she felt like he had drank a lot, and she was worried, she testified.
Federspill told jurors she didn't buy Thomas Ford's story about his whereabouts the night of Edward's murder.
Neither did close friend Alan Tarver.
Party pictures show Edwards and the rest of the gang in the hours before her death, drinking and playing cards on New Year's Eve.
Prosecutors contend Ford later strangled her at her home.
Ford maintains he got bored with the party, and went home early to go to bed. But Tarver and Federspill both told the jury that they went by Ford's home to drop off a cooler of beer Ford had left behind. Only they couldn't find Ford's SUV in the parking lot. Their friendship became a casualty.
I stopped talking to him, or stopped calling, or stopped reaching out to him because of the differences of what he had said and what I had seen, said Tarver. I just wasn't comfortable continuing to talk about it, so I just stopped.
Ford's attorneys get a shot at cross-examining Ms. Federspill Friday morning.

Hi all:
I JUST purchased the Blanco ecommerse there today 1/18/2013. After I bought it I got a css.style error from WordPress.Then when I came back to themeforest,NOW they tell me I will have issues. I tried and tried to follow the instructions,but really can't seem to get it.I am no techy but am feeling like a fool,because I don't understand what they mean,when they say to "manually" unzip the css file to the other file,and dont upload a file etc!!!!!! PLEASE help on this someone..step by step if at all possible.
Why would they be selling a product and not inform the customer BEFORE they bought,,instead of telling customer that there will be an issue AFTER you buy it!!!?? smh
Download a .zip client (program) such as Winzip. Install that program and when it is installed locate the file you downloaded, right click it and press unzip.
It will ask you where to unzip (unpack) the contents of the file, choose a folder. Then inside you will find another zip file, that is the one you want to upload into your admin panel!

Race and Ethnicity in Social Disorganization Theory
- April Fernandes,
- Suzanna Ramirez,
- Robert D. Crutchfield
- … show all 3 hide
Race and ethnicity were central to the early formulations of Social Disorganization Theory, and consideration of these social categories remains significant in contemporary criminological research. In what came to be known as the Chicago School, scholars took Durkheimian conceptions of social solidarity and social disruption and created what today is known as Disorganization Theory to explain changes that were happening in the city around them. Many transitions were occurring in Chicago, as well as other Midwestern and Northeastern cities, but one of the most important of those was dramatic demographic shifts in the population as a result of migration. While earlier streams of immigrants to the United States came predominantly from Western and Northern Europe with physical features, cultural practices, and patterns of behavior that were not too dissimilar from the native population, the latter part of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries saw an increasing nu ...

Verizon posts 2Q loss on costs of employee buyout
Just after the end of the quarter, Verizon closed its sale of 4 million phone lines in 14 states to Frontier Communications Corp. for $5.3 billion. The company has been selling off lines in outlying areas to focus on more densely populated areas in the Northeast, Florida, Texas and California.
Killian said that excluding the sold-off businesses, he expects Verizon to earn roughly $1.05 to $1.10 per share in the remainder of the year. Analysts were expecting about $1.06 per share.
Verizon has been replacing phone lines with optical fiber, but this year called a halt to expansion of its so-called FiOS service. It's now focusing on completing the buildout in areas where it already has a franchise to sell cable TV services over fiber. The halt is reflected in the company's capital expenditures. In the same quarter last year, it spent $2.3 billion on wireline upgrades and $1.8 billion on wireless. This year, the numbers are reversed, with the higher investment going to wireless.

Winnipeg Jets (18-17-2) at New York Islanders (17-16-3), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The New York Islanders collected six of a possible eight
points on their recent road trip to stay right in the hunt for a playoff spot
in the Eastern Conference.
A three-game slide by the Winnipeg Jets is making things a bit tighter atop
the Southeast Division.
The two playoff-hopeful clubs meet Tuesday evening on Long Island.
The Isles wrapped their four-game swing on Monday night with a 3-1 victory
over the New Jersey Devils. That kept the Islanders tied with the Rangers for
the eighth spot in the East, though the Blueshirts have a game in hand, and
both clubs now sit just two points behind the Devils for the seventh seed.
Evgeni Nabokov made 24 saves in the win over the Devils, while Josh Bailey
scored 52 seconds into the game and Travis Hamonic also tallied in the opening
period. John Tavares put home a power-play tally at the 9:13 mark of the third
period and is second in the NHL with 22 goals.
"When you win it's always fun and everyone was chipping in tonight," said
Nabokov. "I think that when you're winning, it's because everyone is doing the
little things."
The Jets will try to heed that advice and avoid their first four-game slide of
the season. They got first-period goals from Zach Bogosian and Nik Antropov on
Monday night versus the Rangers, but were dealt a 4-2 setback.
Ondrej Pavelec gave up all four goals on 35 shots in the loss.
"We just couldn't keep playing the way we did to start the game," said
Winnipeg forward Olli Jokinen. "They just kept pressing and pressing and we
didn't respond to it."
Winnipeg has been outscored 11-3 over its slide and leads Carolina and
Washington by four points for first place in the Southeast Division. The
Hurricanes and Capitals, who are tied for 10th in the East, both have games in
hand over the Jets and play each other on Tuesday night in Carolina.
The Jets snapped a three-game slide to the Islanders with a 5-4 home victory
in overtime on Jan. 27. New York scored three times in the first 9:53 of the
third period to go up by two goals, but Winnipeg got tallies from Dustin
Byfuglien and Alexander Burmistrov 65 seconds apart to force overtime. Evander
Kane then put home the winner 1:59 into the extra frame.
Tavares, who has a goal in five of his last seven games, scored and added two
assists in the loss for the Islanders.
Kane also had an assist in the meeting, but has just two goals and four points
in 13 career games versus the Islanders.
The clubs have split the past six meetings on Long Island.
