Accessing e-journals, ebooks and databases (UoM)
The following methods provide access to eJournals, eBooks and databases provided by the library.
- IP address
- Usernames and passwords
- The University of Manchester VPN service
If you need help, please email the eResources Helpdesk or telephone 0161 275 7388. The Team is available Monday to Friday from 09:00 - 17:00. Outside of these hours (except 08:00 - 09:00), the Helpdesk is operated by Northumbria University. Details supplied during the course of managing your request will be stored and reported back to The University of Manchester who will offer further assistance if required.
IP address
Most services can be accessed on campus on the basis of University of Manchester IP addresses which have been registered with suppliers and publishers. The IP range that has been registered is 130.88.*.*. If you wish to check the IP address of the computer you are using please click My IP Address.
Usernames and passwordsIn some cases a username and password is required for access on-campus as well as off-campus. This may be your University username and password or another stipulated by the service provider / publisher and described as a Special username and password.
University username and password
Your University username and password are provided by the University of Manchester and are used for network access, email and other IT services. They are also used to access many electronic library resources.
To test your University username and password you can login through the University Login Service. 'Login Successful' confirms your username and password are valid. Then click on 'Log out'.
To log in to an electronic resource:
- Where possible the Library link to a resource will direct you to the University login page and, after authentication using your University username and password, direct you back to the required service.
- In some cases it is necessary to follow a link on the service web site which says 'UK Federation', 'Shibboleth', 'Institutional Login' or 'Log in at your home organisation'. You will then be asked to choose the University of Manchester from a list. This is sometimes called a 'Where Are You From' page, or 'WAYF'. Some international online resources will ask you to first choose the UK Federation and then select the University of Manchester. You will then be redirected to the University login page where you log in with your University username and password. You will then be redirected back to the online resource.
Special usernames and passwords
A few services have provided special usernames and passwords which must be used to access their services. In some cases these are required both on-campus and off-campus. To access the username and password for a database, simply follow the link 'special username and password' on the specific database page. For journals, follow the link below to access the list. You will be prompted to enter your University username and password.

- IT Service Desk web page
- Telephone: +44 (0)161 306 5544 (Internal x65544)

Homeland Security Changes Laptop Search Policy
kdawson posted about 5 years ago | from the beatings-will-continue-until-morale-improves dept.273
IronicToo writes "The US Government has updated its policy on the search and seizure of laptops at border crossing. 'The long-criticized practice of searching travelers' electronic devices will continue, but a supervisor now would need to approve holding a device for more than five days. Any copies of information taken from travelers' machines would be destroyed within days if there were no legal reason to hold the information.'"

What began as a remake of an old game of mine turned out to be a decent sized project that took me months to complete. After a lot of revision and redoing crap, I finally release this game. On 3 different accounts I felt that the game was complete, and then I went right back to the FLA file and made major changes. Here is the final game, hopefully without bugs, with great graphics done by FrozenFire, and with a lot of love in it :)
Gradium has 4 different ships in the game, all of which are very unique. You can use a ship covered with blades to chop your enemies in half, or use a ship with a flamethrower to do massive damage at close range. Each ship has it's own ups and downs, and they each represent a different difficulty. I tried to make the gameplay as varied as I could. There is full voice acting in the game.
So yeah, enjoy :). If you want a few extras check out this link.

It goes over how the game was made, with a few concept sketches.
Also MiniJuegos is an excellent sponsor, and I would recommend him to anyone.
Graphics turned up, put in freaking quality options :/
Except to see a drastically updated version of this game in 3-4 weeks. I'm gonna take into account a lot of the reviews I got.
Rated 4 / 5 stars November 13, 2011
Nice game
But I would give you a 9, but my problem is that you need to add more health circles after shooting the enemy during the game, I'm clearly not saying it's hard but some situations when you're ''unexpectedly stuck'' might be helpful to add more health in situations like these. The game itself is not much of a challenge, and you've added some humor into it!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars August 24, 2011
Fine, but not great.
I give you an average score for the fact that it's not a terrible game, however it's unbelievably easy and doesn't have upgrades.
Rated 4 / 5 stars August 12, 2011
Well i kinda dont like it.
It was good but i just dunno why i dont like the song. XD
Rated 3 / 5 stars June 22, 2010
Sorry, but nothing special.
I think some features are missing, especially upgrades.
And there should be some sounds for the enemies explosions when killing them, and the explosions of the bigger enemies should be bigger than those from the smaller ones.
Rated 4 / 5 stars December 29, 2009
It was a great game
But not unique or revolutionnary

The scenario is simple – I need a list of all countries. This is the task that need to be solved in majority of applications. So I sit down and tried to find a good solution for this problem. No matter which programming language or data format you use in your application or language you speak, this country list will suit your needs.

Affirmative action for rich assholes.
Salon: Legacy preference in college admission, or the practice of selecting the offspring of alumni over other qualified candidates, was originally a strategy developed to grandfather Jewish applicants out of admission. Though the policy's intention has changed, it remains the reality that as American students head back to campus this fall, 10 to 25 percent of them do not deserve their spots. They're "legacy admits," the kids who got a boost via birth.
Quite a boost, in fact. In their 2005 paper "The Opportunity Cost of Admission Preferences at Elite Universities," Princeton scholars Thomas Espenshade and Chang Chung found that legacy status gives fortunate applicants the equivalent of an additional 160 points on the former 1,600 point SAT scale. One hundred sixty points is no small adjustment; on the contrary, it's the sort of improvement hopeful high schoolers bury their noses in books for. Yet it comes gratis to a set of students already privileged enough to be born to graduates of prestigious institutions.
Worse, the "legacy" system is a taxpayer supported free ride. Where the rest of us have to actually pay to get into college, legacy admissions pay to go to the head of the line. That payment is somehow "charity" and actually qualifies as a tax write-off — as if there's some sort of noble sacrifice in getting little Dubya into a school he would never otherwise qualify for in a million years.
Who makes up the difference here? Well, you do. According to the report, "alumni that make such donations are entitled to deduct the amount of their donation from their income for tax purposes. In so doing, the richest alumni receive a tax subsidy of 40 percent of the amount of their donation. That is, the public ultimately funds as much as 40 percent of any given legacy admissions payment." No wonder these clowns have such an oversized sense of entitlement.
Welfare for the rich is fine. Help for those who actually need it is somehow called "government waste."

Six States To Decide Tomorrow On Marijuana Measures | NORML Blog
Millions of voters will decide on Election Day in favor of ballot measures to legalize and regulate the use of cannabis by adults. Voters in three states — Colorado, Oregon, and Washington — will decide on statewide ballot measures to legalize the possession and distribution of cannabis for those over 21 years of age. Voters in three additional states — Arkansas, Massachusetts, and Montana — will decide on measures to allow for the therapeutic use of cannabis by patients with qualifying ailments. In Michigan, voters in four cities – totaling over a million people – will decide on municipal measures to legalize or depenalize the adult use of cannabis.
Ballot measures in Colorado, Massachusetts, and Washington remain favored among voters, according to the latest statewide polls.
Since 1996, 17 states have enacted legislation to allow for the limited possession of cannabis when a physician authorizes such use. In ten of those states, voters enacted medical cannabis legislation via the statewide initiative process. But to date, no statewide proposal to remove criminal and civil penalties for the broader, personal possession and use of marijuana by adults has succeeded at the ballot box. This reality is likely to change tomorrow.
A summary of this year's more prominent statewide and local ballot measures appears below.
ARKANSAS: Voters will decide on Measure 5, The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act of 2012, which allows authorized patients to possess up to two and one-half ounces of cannabis for various qualifying medical conditions, including cancer, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The measure also allows state regulators to establish not-for-profit facilities to produce and dispense cannabis to approved patients. Individual patients will also be permitted to privately cultivate limited amounts of cannabis (up to six flowering plants) if they reside further than five miles from a state-authorized dispensary.
COLORADO: Voters will decide on Amendment 64, which allows for the legal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and/or the cultivation of up to six cannabis plants by those persons age 21 and over. Longer-term, the measure seeks to establish regulations governing the commercial production and distribution of marijuana by licensed retailers. Voters in the state approve of the measure by a margin of 50 percent to 44 percent, according to the latest Denver Post survey.
MASSACHUSETTS: Voters will decide on Question 3, which eliminates statewide criminal and civil penalties related to the possession and use of up to a 60-day supply of cannabis by qualified patients. It would also require the state to create and regulate up to 35 facilities to produce and dispense cannabis to approved patients. Individual patients will also be permitted to privately cultivate limited amounts of cannabis if they are unable to access a state-authorized dispensary. Voters in the state approve the measure by a margin of 55 percent to 36 percent, according to the latest Suffolk University poll.
MICHIGAN: Voters in four cities – totaling over a million people – will also decide on Tuesday whether to legalize or depenalize the adult use of cannabis. Voters in Detroit will decide on Proposal M, which removes criminal penalties pertaining to the possession on private property of up to one ounce of marijuana by adults over age 21. In Flint, voters will decide on a citizens' initiative to amend the city code so that the possession on private property of up to one ounce of marijuana or cannabis paraphernalia by those age 19 or older is no longer a criminal offense. Grand Rapids voters will act on Proposal 2, which seeks to allow local law enforcement the discretion to ticket first-time marijuana offenders with a civil citation, punishable by a $25 fine and no criminal record. In Ypsilanti, voters will decide on a proposal to make the local enforcement of marijuana possession offenses the city's lowest law enforcement priority.
MONTANA: Voters will decide on Initiative Referendum 124. A 'no' vote on IR-124 would repeal newly enacted restrictions to the state's 2004 voter-approved medical marijuana law.
OREGON: Voters will decide on Measure 80, the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act, which provides for the state-licensed production and retail sale of cannabis to adults. The measure does not impose state-licensing or taxation requirements upon those who wish to cultivate cannabis for non-commercial purposes.
WASHINGTON: Voters will decide on I-502, which regulates the production and sale of limited amounts of marijuana for adults. The measure also removes criminal penalties specific to the adult possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use. Voters in the state back the measure by a margin of 56 percent to 37 percent, according to the latest KING 5 poll.

From their earliest years in our public schools, Falmouth children are learning through experience many aspects of good citizenship. In elementary grades, children make gardens to see where food comes from and learn about the earth-to-table processes involved. Some classes visit the Falmouth Historical Society's museum, and docents also take objects to classrooms to show aspects of life in the early history of our town. Whaling, food and clothing production, governing and entertainment are all part of its history and were the responsibilities of many different citizens over the years.
Very young children hear stories about people and events that are celebrated at national holidays, thus providing the beginning of their civic identity. From 1st grade on, their identity as American citizens is re-enforced and expanded as they learn that the United States is a nation of immigrants; citizens represent all races and many different ethnicities and religions. The study of geography and time lines of the many different world civilizations gives children an introduction to the larger world and students can begin to see themselves as part of that world.
At the Lawrence and Morse Pond schools, students can participate in forms of student government, and at election time, some schools become polling stations where the example of citizens exercising their fundamental right and responsibility to vote can be seen by our young future voters. Variations on the "town meeting" concept are also alive and well at several of our schools.
Modeling adult participation in representative government is a powerful way of learning about the roles of adult citizens.
Service learning activities are an important part of civic education in our schools.

These include food and toy collection drives that can introduce children to an appreciation of a greater sense of what constitutes good citizenship. Coastal sweeps or clean-up and analysis of refuse introduce ecology concepts. Water quality studies include observation and measurement. All of these expand children's understanding of the richness and complexity of civic responsibility.
Teachers from the elementary, middle and secondary level will provide more detail of the diversity of civic education in Falmouth at the League of Women Voters forum on civic education and engagement on Wednesday, April 16, at 7:30 PM in the Hermann Foundation Room of the Falmouth Public Library.

We're here because we got pushed out of New York, but we're also here because this is the heart of where all politics happen.An Occupy Wall Street protester • Discussing why he made the move to one of D.C.'s two Occupy encampments. It appears the encampments stand a good chance of sticking around for a while longer, though — as the National Park Service considers the movement's McPherson Square location a "24-hour vigil" and has applied the most liberal interpretation of the laws to the movement, and recently offered an extension of the permit for the Freedom Plaza encampment — which was initially supposed to end with the new year. So as a result, protesters who started hanging out at Zuccotti Park have started making their way to the encampments, which have recently passed the three-month mark. source (via • follow)
My Friends of OWS,
My message will have to be brief. But let not this brevity take from it, its strength.
You are the central movement of the hour. You're raising questions that are in the hearts of millions. Your motto, "We are the 99%," has been heard, heeded, and responded to by millions. You can be certain that the 1% have heard you clearest of all.
Your work, however, is just beginning. You must deepen, strengthen, and further your work until it truly reaches the 99%, almost all of us: workers, black folk, Latinos and Latinas, LGBTs, immigrants, Asians, artists, all of us, for we are integral parts of the 99%. I salute you and hope fervently that you will grow beyond number.
Though I speak to you today by proxy, I'm confident that you will hear my voice soon.
Love, fun and music,
Mumia Abu-Jamal
A fascinating letter. Abu-Jamal effectively had his death sentence commuted to life in prison recently, as prosecutors chose to long longer pursue the case.
Also under investigation: Victor Garcia, the officer who, as can be seen in this video, fired the projectile at Scott Campbell, an unarmed protester filming the November 3rd protests. Garcia has already been removed from the SWAT team, and Joyner has been placed in a "bureaucratic job" while the investigation is carried out.
imwithkanye says: I'm actually quite annoyed by this. It's one thing to protest but it's another to disrupt a TV set (& people's jobs - the crew? the 99%). L&O always uses headlines as back drops and would it be so bad to shine light on the rape that's been happening?
» SFB says: That's a fair point. They could've taken this energy in a different direction for sure. Certainly it's not the most bizarre thing the Occupy movement's been involved in. I think though, that there's an effort not to get their movement co-opted by anyone, least of all a TV crew. But certainly a TV show that airs 12 times a day on TNT and makes clear that it's ripped from the headlines isn't really the enemy. — Ernie @ SFB
There are certainly some folks who feel really offended by the attempt to kind of use this very real, very living movement, this economic justice movement that's making real change for working families in this country, to use it in some kind of story line in this dramatic cop show. There are probably other folks among us who think it's just a fun excuse to get together and share in public.Occupy Wall Street press team member Ian Shan • Explaining why Occupy protesters raided the filming of a Zuccotti Park-themed "Law & Order: SVU" episode late last night. The actual Occupy protesters heard about the protest and decided to stage a "mockupy" protest at the event, which sounds like an amazing idea. And much like a real Occupy protest, police cleared out the scene around 1 a.m. last night. This sounds like the most amazing idea, ever — hopefully most did it with a sense of humor instead of malicious intent. source (via • follow)
» However … In a major difference between the end of a number of other protests (most notably Occupy Oakland), police did not have to pull out pepper spray to end these protests. The LAPD was very careful with their strategy in this department. Despite the mayor calling for the closure of the camp early Monday, the police department held off two days, giving protesters time to leave on their own. That thinned out the numbers. As for those that remained, they had some minor scuffles with police at first, but those eventually faded, and protesters only got arrested after they didn't immediately leave the park. Only a handful of major Occupy encampments remain at this point, most notably in DC and San Francisco. (EDIT: Updated Occupy Philly arrest count; the protesters left the encampment peacefully but were arrested for disturbances outside of the encampment.)

Magna Steyr 3-in-1 pickup truck, convertible and SUV concept car

Ssangyong XIV-2 convertible crossover concept
Ssangyong is obviously exploring the shape of the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) of the future if its last two concept cars are anything to go by.
