Islamabad students residential problems and shortage of accommodation facilities
Islamabad, Oct 4: Students are facing residential problems because of acute shortage of accommodation facilities in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Majid, a student, said that due to non-availability of proper hostel facilities, he had to live in a small room.
"It is quite difficult for a student to find a reasonable living place at affordable rates," he added.
He said that private hostels had been charging Rs5,000 to Rs8,000 for a single bed accommodation, adding that these hostels lacked proper cleaning.
Shafqat Ullah, an employee said that rents of rooms and houses had surged in the last few years due to the unprecedented influx of students and job seekers in the twin cities.
"I am paying Rs7,000 for a single unfurnished room, and the owner raised rent, 10 percent every year," he added.
"I am residing in a small room of a private hostel with three other girls due to paucity of hostels for girls in the twin cities," said Fouzia, a student of IIUI.
She said, "We pay Rs6,000 per head to the hostel management who provide two time meals and breakfast."
Fouzia said that there arrangements lacked proper cleanliness, and the food was not of standard.
She appealed the authorities concerned to take steps for setting up new girls hostels in the twin cities, because the existing hostel facilities were not sufficient to the increasing women working class.
Israr Khan, living in a single room in Shamsabad said that the main cause of the accommodation shortage was the lack of bachelor hostels and proper housing schemes.
He said that he had been facing residential problem since he came to capital in 2003 after completing his studies.
"In the past five years, I have changed my residence many times due to the ill attitude of landlords or lack of basic facilities," he added.
He said that the setting up of more hostels could bring relief to bachelors who came here from distant areas of the country in search of jobs and education.
Many universities and colleges are facing shortage of hostels in twin cities. The students demanded that concerned authorities should provide sufficient accommodation facilities to decrease the problems of the students.
They stressed that the educational instructions should be bound to provide boarding, lodging and other facilities to its students as part of the registration of these institutions set up in hired building lacking space and other facilities.Your Comments

Rocket hits boys school in Peshawar
Peshawar: A rocket hit Government High School for Boys Naway Killay while four projectiles landed in fields near the Peshawar International Airport in yet another brazen rocket attack on the provincial capital early Saturday.
It wasn't clear if the rockets were fired from Khyber Agency or some village on the boundary between the tribal area and Peshawar. Many people woke up after hearing the loud explosions at around 3:30 a.m.
One of the rockets hit the classrooms of the Government High School Naway Killay, located on Bara Road hardly 400 metres from the boundary wall of the Peshawar airport. Three rooms and a verandah of the old school building were damaged in the attack.
No casualty was reported in the attack because the classes were yet to begin. Students helped the staff to remove the rubble and clean the classrooms and verandah.
Four other rockets landed in the fields of Naway Killay village, famous for producing squash legends Hashim Khan, Roshan Khan, Qamar Zaman, Mohibullah, Jehangir Khan and Jansher Khan. Some of these Khans and their family members had studied at the school that was hit by rocket on Saturday.
Naway Killay is spread on three sides of the Peshawar airport, which contains the military airbase.
Since the launching of the military operation in Khyber Agency, Peshawar has come frequently under rocket attacks from the tribal area. Most of the rockets land in Naway Killay, Abdarra, Pishtakhara and adjacent villages for being close to Bara sub-division in Khyber Agency.

Bajaur students want BA/BSc exam postponed
Khar: Students of Bajaur Agency have demanded of the government to postpone the BA/BSc examinations, scheduled to begin from October 8, in view of the volatile situation in the area.
Izharul Haq, a 3rd year student, said that owing to curfew and military action against Taliban militants in Bajaur, students might not be able to reach examination halls.
Abdul Ghaffar, a 4th year student, pointed out that Taliban recently had hurled threats that they would re-launch attacks if the government resumed military operation in the agency.
"Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to take the examinations," he argued.
Asad, studying in 3rd year, said the government had already postponed the examinations in Swat in view of the ongoing military operation. He said the examinations in Bajaur should also be postponed in the best interest of the students.
Shifting of college demanded
Bannu: The president of Parents Association at Razmak Cadet College has urged the government to shift campus of the college to Akram Khan Durrani College in Bannu for security reasons. Talking to reporters at the press club, President of the association Professor Muhammad Iqbal Khan said security situation had deteriorated in North Waziristan where the college was located, consequently the students stoped going to Razmak owing to fear.

Organophosphorus Chemistry provides a comprehensive annual review of the literature. Coverage includes phosphines and their chalcogenides, phosphonium salts, low coordination number phosphorus compounds, penta- and hexa-coordinated compounds, tervalent phosphorus acids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, ylides and related compounds, and phosphazenes. The series will be of value to research workers in universities, government and industrial research organisations, whose work involves the use of organophosphorus compounds. It provides a concise but comprehensive survey of a vast field of study with a wide variety of applications, enabling the reader to rapidly keep abreast of the latest developments in their specialist areas. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
Professor David Allen is Emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of Sheffield, UK. His main research interests are in phosphonium salts and related compounds. Current interests include the preparation of phosphonioalkyl derivatives of biologically active molecules, the phosphonioalkyl group facilitating the passage of the biologically active agent through cell membranes, and studies of the formation of biologically active surface-functionalised gold nanoparticles.

Like so many other racers, Shane grew up racing flat-track before making the transition to road racing. Over the last decade he's competed in about every class of road racing in the last 10 years. His breakthrough rides came in the Harley-Davidson XR1200 Series a few years back. More recently he finished 6th in the Supermoto Championship in the Open Pro class despite missing two rounds. He also won the Loudon Classic for the 5th time, an accomplishment no one else has achieved. Next year Shane plans to race the entire AMA Supermoto series, select American Superstock 1000 races as well as some European Supermoto Championship rounds.

I got to Skype into my families annual prime rib feast before the holiday weekend. It made me a little sad I couldn't be there with all of my cousins and family, but it was great to see everyone (if only for a few minutes). It was also great seeing my great aunts/uncles reactions to Skype... It went something along the lines of, what is this technology, who is on the computer, what!?
The weekend of actual Christmas, Shaun invited Shelley and I to join his friends at a cabin near Namwon. His girl friends had planned the entire trip down to the incredible, enormous meals. We had secret santas, which made Christmas feel a little more real. The girls also made everyone cute stockings with our names on them and little treats in them, Since we weren't able to spend Christmas with our real families, it was nice to spend the holiday with such great company!! Everyone in the group has been friends for awhile so it was great to feel so welcomed. It made being away from my family a lot easier!

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Polymers Applied in Tissue Engineering)
AbstractCollagen is the main structural protein of most hard and soft tissues in animals and the human body, which plays an important role in maintaining the biological and structural integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and provides physical support to tissues. Collagen can be extracted and purified from a variety of sources and offers low immunogenicity, a porous structure, good permeability, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Collagen scaffolds have been widely used in tissue engineering due to these excellent properties. However, the poor mechanical property of collagen scaffolds limits their applications to some extent. To overcome this shortcoming, collagen scaffolds can be cross-linked by chemical or physical methods or modified with natural/synthetic polymers or inorganic materials. Biochemical factors can also be introduced to the scaffold to further improve its biological activity. This review will summarize the structure and biological characteristics of collagen and introduce the preparation methods and modification strategies of collagen scaffolds. The typical application of a collagen scaffold in tissue engineering (including nerve, bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, blood vessel and skin) will be further provided. The prospects and challenges about their future research and application will also be pointed out. View Full-Text

This can only be the result of a bet, a dare or a serious bout of drinking. It bespeaks the total lack of regard these two men have for their colleagues (who will inevitably have to wear some of the stink the hiring has created), their constituents (who surely didn't vote them in for this) and the taxpayers of Connecticut (who they clearly despise). This is absolutely the wrong thing to do at the wrong time and very much at odds with the mood that has to prevail in the State Capitol right now. How can they not see this, or be advised by someone who does see it? I thought Gov. Rell's appointment of the pro wrestling maharani wouldn't be topped for some time, but this is far worse. This is very nearly a crime.

I really love your WIP photo-reports, but also GD articles were really great to read. Want more of this.AntwortenLöschen
I also found lots of your minis very attractive and would appreciate some photo or video tutorials (armour chipping, skin painting ...).
And - finally - I would really like to read new posts from you as frequent as possible :))

This blog is definetly one of the best about mini painting (just after the massive voodoo guys ;)). It's great to be able to read it english ("Guten tag Frau Schmidt, wie geht's" is basically the only thing I know in german)AntwortenLöschen
Like everyone here, I'd love to see more updates, WIPs and tutorials but I know it is very time-consuming.
The articles on "how to win a golden deamon" were very good, I'd like to some other things like that.
Here are some ideas you could use :
- doing some review of a mini (quality of the sculpt, etc ..)
- sharing some paintjobs that you saw here and there on CMON (explaining your likes and dislikes about it)
That would be amazing
Anyway, keep up the good work
Hi, I am Zaphod. And I am addicted to blogs. (Group: "Hi Zaphod!")AntwortenLöschen
Having said that, I definitely want more.
I really enjoyed your "How to win a GD" posts - something I had not seen elsewhere yet. Of course, more wips and pics are always good, but then again, I know how much work that kind of stuff is.
Other than that, I like the blog the way it is.

I have enjoyed my week learning from so many wonderful educators. There insight was inspirational. I am amazed at the tasks that are ahead of them. With our new knowledge, we can transform the world.
I enjoyed putting my thoughts together for the final presentations. In itself it was a transformational experience that I even had with my husband. My learning and "story" have evolved and I feel better about my path in education. I have a lot of opportunities that await me and I look forward to the journey.
I believe in the POWER of a story. We all have stories that have shaped us. We don't spend time sharing our stories. I truly believe that we can shape and change our world and community by understanding each of other's stories.
Final Presentation Thoughts and Inspiration:
Right-Brainers will RULE the world---

Students need:
- Self Direction
- Mastery---students want to feel like they have mastered something (video game, art, dance, baseball, etc)
- Purpose
Ask yourself when preparing a lesson
Am I offering students any autonomy?
Does this assignment promote mastery in an engaging way?
Do my students understand the purpose of the assignment?

Can I or should I expect to see the service when displaying all services by running "services.msc" or when I do $net start ? If installing the service does not put it there, what additional steps do I need to take such that it would be visible and manageable with: $net start MyService $net stop MyService ? thanks J.V. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

This trip doesn't have any journals yet.
Journals = travelogue = diary = descriptions of your traveling experiences, which can be written during the course of your journey.
It's best to write down your travel experience as soon as possible or you will gradually lose the precious memory of your trip.
Trip Overview
The Nyungwe rainforest is located in southwestern Rwanda, at the border with Burundi, to the south, and Lake Kivu and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. The Nyungwe rainforest is probably the best preserved montane rainforest in Central Africa. It is located in the watershed between the basin of the river Congo to the west and the basin of the river Nile to the east. From the east side of the Nyungwe forest comes also one of the branches of the Nile sources. Nyungwe Forest National Park was established in 2004 and covers an area of approximately 970 km² of rainforest, bamboo, grassland, swamps, and bogs. The nearest town is Cyangugu, 54 km to the west. Mount Bigugu is located within the park borders

Instructor Coupon Codes
How to use coupon codes strategically
A coupon code is one of the things that makes Udemy unique for instructors. Coupon codes allow you to share your course with students directly, with a discount you control. When students buy using a coupon code, you keep 97% of the revenue even if you're enrolled in our marketing and promotions programs. Think of a coupon code as a way to motivate students, create urgency, or show your thanks to your supporters.
Coupon codes can also be a 100% discount to give your course away for free. They are completely flexible for you to select any percentage off, so long as the sale price does not go below $10.
- On Udemy, the only two places you can share coupon codes are in your promotional emails and the bonus lecture of your course. Outside of Udemy, coupon codes can be shared freely.
Go to your instructor dashboard & select "price and coupons" for the course you'd like to adjust to create a coupon code now.
Instructor Support: How do I create a coupon code?
Udemy Trust & Safety: Coupon guidelines
Keep more revenue and offer discounts
- Get 97% revenue. You can create a coupon code for your course at full price or any other discount %, provided the sale price is $10 or higher. When students purchase your course using that code, you keep 97% of the revenue because we can track that it was your own marketing efforts that brought the student in.
- A 100% discount=free. Delight friends, clients, or colleagues by offering a coupon code to take your course for free. If your course is new, you could gift it to a colleague, friend, or family member and ask for an honest review.
- Get momentum for a new course. Creating a limited number of low-cost or free coupon codes can help you gain traction on Udemy and have a successful launch. You can also offer discounts periodically during special times such as back to school, holidays, or other moments when your students are eager.
- Create a limited number of redemptions. Drive purchases by creating scarcity, and keep letting people know how many (or few!) are available over time.
- Set an expiration date. Motivate people to purchase by creating urgency, so students debating your course will have a deadline to make their purchase. You could also offer a limited-time coupon code during an event or conference.
- Track your marketing efforts. You can create as many coupon codes as you want, and track redemptions. To do this name your coupon codes so that you'll remember where you shared them. For example if you had a Java course and created a coupon code for Facebook (JAVA-FB) and another for YouTube (JAVA-YT) you could track how many people used each and start to focus your marketing where it's making the most difference.
Coupon code myths busted
Coupon codes are one key solution to help give your course a strong start, but, just like Goldilocks, a balance of free enrollments with paid enrollments is typically the best way to go.
Instructors who get both free enrollments and paid enrollments in the first 15 days go on to make 25 times more long-term than those who offer only free enrollments, and 3 times more than those who offer only paid enrollments.
Myth: You should give away your course to 1,000 people for free.
Busted: Unless your course is normally offered for free, generating thousands of free enrollments will only give you the illusion of success. Our data shows us that students who enroll in courses with free coupon codes are actually less engaged. Also, if you have 1,000 enrollments and very few reviews, savvy prospective students might be skeptical of your inflated numbers and be hesitant to enroll.
Myth: You should never offer free or discounted coupon codes because you put so much time into your course.
Busted: While it's completely up to each instructor, when you first publish your course–unless you have a large existing email list or audience–it can help to issue free coupon codes to your inner circle to get their feedback and discover where you might need to improve.

For me, inspiration often strikes at the most inconvenient moment- right at the time that there is absolutely nothing I can do about the idea I have. I have lost a lot of good ideas to convenience, and so I have learned that when it strikes, I'd better act, or I might loose it. Such is the case with this project. It is totally inconvenient. It has no purpose, other than to accomplish an idea that ran across my brain. I had to interrupt other things to work on it. It is taking more time than I wanted. And yet, here it is. Needing to be cared for and nurtured until it grows up.
So, remember my last post on inspiration? Here's where we left off-
My pics are not so good- I really need a camera other than the one on my phone, and maybe some lighting in my studio, but this is what I've got for now, and it will have to do! Anyway, I had found the perfect fabric, tool and book to get my ideas flowing, and while I had started playing a bit, I just hadn't found the right combo.
Nice, but way too dark. Overshadowed the print fabric terribly.
Now we've got something. These wedges were on the design wall for a couple of weeks before they decided what they wanted to be, so I was pretty happy at this moment!
I have major issues with staying on task, although I really do finish most projects that I begin. I just need a break sometimes from a big project for something smaller and a little easier, hence the baby quilt on the right. I had finished cutting and placing all of my wedges as desired on the design wall, and I needed to "look away" for a minute, so I put together this baby quilt. I will do a different post on it.
I finally started sewing wedges together, section by section, row by row. Then I realized that I hadn't thought through my design completely. What about those odd shaped sides? Should I leave them? No, I want a bigger quilt than this and want to add borders, so the sides have to be squared up. Back to the book Sizzlin' Sixties.
I've mentioned before that I don't follow directions well, and here is a good example of that. It really does make a difference to actually read rather than just looking at the pictures. Just saying. Anyway, in order to make half wedges to create the straight sides needed on a hexagon quilt, you cannot just cut a wedge, and then cut it in half. It doesn't give you enough seam allowance. (See above).
There are different ways to cut these side pieces. The book uses a traditional 60 degree ruler, which I did not have, so I could not do it the way it was written. Also, Julie from Jaybird Quilts has a Sidekick ruler that would do the job fabulously, but alas, I don't have it yet. So, I had to improvise. It is possible to do this without an additional ruler, but I would have rather had the Sidekick. I hope to get it soon.
So, here's what I did-
I used my Hex N More ruler and lined up my straight edge with the far top point of the ruler, and the 4 1/2″ line, as this was the size I needed to make my straight edges. Then I cut.
To continue cutting the "half" wedges I needed without waste, I turned to my straight-edge ruler and lined up the 60 degree line with the cut I made before. This worked fine, but like I said, I would have rather had the Sidekick.
As you can see above, those "half" wedges create a straight edge for the hexagon shaped quilt. It isn't required if you want the sides of the quilt to have the hexi shape, but again, I want to add a border and need the sides to be straight.
All sewn together! Looking fabulous so far, if I do say so myself!
So, here's the thing- remember that when cutting these wedges, you end up with a positive and negative wedge- see below-
The quilt I am making so far uses only half of the wedges that I have cut so far.
So, the story isn't over! What will these become when they grow up? I'll let you know when I know…

Subj: Thoughts on Green Lantern's #37 *SPOILERS*
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2017 at 03:11:19 pm EST (Viewed 719 times)
Now this comic is the right way to do space adventures while settling and having a life on Earth (*Stares hard at Geoff Johns*). Simon and Jessica are constantly in space now, having adventures but somehow the writers always makes the time to focus a little on their Earth bound jobs. Well...Jessica's Earthbound job, anyway. I wish they'd have more Earthbound adventures, though. Leave the space stuff to Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps title.
Seems there is a classic murder mystery on the planet Ungara or perhaps not. A group of refugee aliens are holding some innocents hostage and it's up the rookie GL's to deal with them since they have encountered the group of aliens before. The case is solved pretty easily, but considering this is part 1 of a series, I have to question the longevity of this story as it seemed only a filler.
And sleeps with the woman who is behind a supremacist group known as the Red Tide who are dedicated to destroying the GLC. Lovely...
What did you think of the issue?
It's interesting that a hero/villain performs one amazing feat, or use a power they haven't used for 20+ years, and that automatically propels them to a high status despite scans and evidence to the contrary. I don't know what is worse, selective feat picking that has only been done once or twice 20, or more, years ago or ignoring evidence from scans or the lack thereof. We need to stop putting our favorite heroes/villains on pedestals and start putting them where they really belong. But it's evident that people never will because they would rather accuse others of cherry picking feats, when they don't, and being 'morally superior' when they aren't. I guess being honest and as fair as possible only opens one up to being the target of childish accusations and fault finding by those who insist on acting petty and childish. What happened to a good debate between two civil, mature, adults?

Xiao Gu let out a painful cry as he held his broken arm in pain. The piercing sound of his cry travelled far and people all around heard it.
"Qingfeng Li's really strong! He even broke Xiao Gu's arm."
"Yeah, Xiao Gu is ranked number fifteen on the Grandmasters list. He's also the third Elder of the Sword Pavilion. I can't believe he was defeated by Qingfeng Li."
"I think Qingfeng Li's really powerful. He'd probably make it into top ten of the Grandmasters list."
Everyone began talking, their faces stunned.
They were already surprised when Qingfeng Li injured Xiao Gu. Now that Qingfeng Li severed Xiao Gu's arm, they were beyond surprised, they were shocked.
With Qingfeng Li's every attack, they were more and more stunned.
At the sight of Xiao Gu's severed arm, Ao Hei's face turned pale and his eyes were full of fright. It was him who instigated Xiao Gu to kill Qingfeng Li just a moment ago. Now that he saw Qingfeng Li's powers, he regretted his actions.
Just then, Qingfeng Li turned his head to look at Ao Hei, sending the latter into shivers, almost collapsing to the ground.
Ao Hei was truly horrified. If Qingfeng Li had the ability to break the arm of such a powerful man like Xiao Gu, what was he going to do to a snitch?
Shoo shoo shoo shoo!!!!
At the sight of Xiao Gu's injuries, the other four members from the Sword Pavilion instantly rushed over and surrounded Qingfeng Li.
These four people from the Sword Pavilion were no ordinary people. They were all extremely powerful, all belonging to the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm and were similar in abilities to Qingfeng Li.
Seeing the four people surround Qingfeng Li, Yoshiko Sato, the members of the Wolf Fang team, and the two Demon Kings prepared to help.
"No need, they're just four weaklings." Qingfeng Li waved his hand to signal for Yoshiko Sato and the others not to interfere.
Yoshiko Sato and the others halted at Qingfeng Li's request. They were confident in Qingfeng Li's abilities.
These four men may have been frighteningly powerful to others, but they posed no threat to Qingfeng Li.
"Kid, you dare to injure our Sword Pavilion Elder, we're definitely killing you today." The four men raged at Qingfeng Li. They whipped out their swords and pointed them towards Qingfeng Li.
"Stop talking and fight me if you have the guts." Qingfeng Li laughed coldly, without a trace of care in his voice.
If the four men had been at the peak stage of the Grandmasters Realm, Qingfeng Li might have weighed his chances but they were only in the late-stage of the Grandmasters Realm, the same realm as him. Naturally he didn't worry because he was invincible in the same realm.
"Attack." The four men from the Sword Pavilion all raised their swords and charged at Qingfeng Li. Their swords exuded a fierce sword light, tearing through the air.
The four men were not Elders of the Sword Pavilion so they didn't possess spiritual devices. Instead, they were all using high-level weapons of the Grandmasters level. These swords weren't capable of emitting sword intent, just sword light.
Although the two words appear to be similar, they are very different in terms of strength. The power of a sword light was much smaller than that of sword intent.
"Red Fiery Silver Moon." Qingfeng Li roared in a deep voice, directly using the fourth attack of his Red Fiery Sword techniques. The sword became a circular flaming moon and ruthlessly slashed towards the four men.
The silver moon flame embodied a huge gush of energy, more powerful than ever. Its powers grew after Qingfeng Li reached the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm.
Bang bang bang bang!!!!
The opposing four swords were all struck by the silver moon flame, exploding at the sound of a bang.
The four men felt an incredible energy pushing them backwards, forcing them to continuously retreat.
One move by Qingfeng was able to repel the four masters of the Sword Pavilion.
At this moment, everyone around had stopped talking, all entering into a state of complete silence.
These men were no ordinary ancient martial artists, they were in the late-stage of the Grandmasters realm but they were still defeated by one strike of Qingfeng Li's sword. Everyone was stunned. They all watched Qingfeng Li with shock in their eyes.
"Saintess, Qingfeng Li's too powerful. He's definitely going to be your opponent during the fight for the Heavenly spiritual device," said the girl in the green dress.
At first, the girl in the green dress had looked down on Qingfeng Li. She didn't expect him to be this powerful, to the point where even first-class powers like the Sword Pavilion posed him no threat.
Her warning for the Flower Fairy was also in consideration for the Hundred Flower Palace.
This time, the Flower Fairy fell into a long period of silence. She then said lightly, "Little Greenie, I'm afraid that we have yet to see his true powers."
"Saintess, you mean that Qingfeng Li can be even more powerful than this?" the girl in the green dress was truly shocked this time.
If the Saintess was right, just how powerful was Qingfeng Li? Little Green couldn't help but shiver at the thought.
Xiao Gu and the four members from the Sword Pavilion all grimaced at the other's voices. This time they were completely humiliated. None of them even came close to Qingfeng Li.
Just as Xiao Gu and the rest prepared to continue their attack, the green sword at the top of the mountain suddenly released a deafening sound. The body of the sword began trembling, its sword energy rushing towards the sky, piercing through the atmosphere.
A thousand-meter-long ray of sword energy crossed the sky, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky.
"The Heavenly spiritual device is about to appear, everyone hurry." Ao Hei shouted, rushing towards the mountaintop.
Not wanting to be left behind, the members of the Vampire Sect also followed, in large strides towards the mountaintop.
"Qingfeng Li, once I retrieve the Heavenly Device, I'm going to kill you in one strike." Xiao Gu said pale-faced, holding his severed arm. He then headed for the mountaintop along with the other four Sword Pavilion members.
It was clear to Xiao Gu that, with his current powers, he wasn't a match for Qingfeng Li. His only chance to kill Qingfeng Li was to grab the Heavenly spiritual device.
All at once, everyone headed up towards the mountaintop, howling, competing for the Heavenly spiritual device.
Only two forces were left behind. One was Qingfeng Li and the Wolf Fang team, the other was the Flower Fairy and the Hundred Flower Palace. Xianzhi Qin, who had previously wanted to stay behind, was also forced up to the mountaintop by her Elder.
"Boss, it's the Heavenly spiritual device! Why are we not going up there?" Daoist asked with furrowed brows.
"I have a feeling there's going to be great danger, we should wait a bit." Qingfeng Li said lightly.
He wasn't sure why, but Qingfeng Li felt a great sense of danger coming from the mountain, despite its harmless appearance.
Somewhere, Qingfeng Li felt a certain something hidden within the mountain, giving him great fear.
Yes, fear. At Qingfeng Li's level, what can scare him was very few in number.
Qingfeng Li glanced towards the Flower Fairy and saw that she had also stayed behind, remaining in her place, as if in hesitation and worry. This gave Qingfeng Li even more confidence in his decision to stay behind.
Sure enough, just as Qingfeng Li had guessed, as soon as the people arrived at the mountaintop, trying to grab the Heavenly spiritual device, a large black hand came for them from below.
The black palm was enormous. It was materialized from vital essence and was a full three meters in size. It grabbed an ancient martial artist and tore his body apart, as the martial artist screamed in agony.

Kapayawan Ridge (Ant Farm, Impalutao, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, Philippines)
The first time I saw photos on this beautiful ridge I thought I saw Mount Pulag. The photo was taken during the drought season so the grass were almost golden brown. It was beautiful. Thus, I decided to trail blaze it and experience the trail, the view and the weather.
Kapayawan Ridge is only accessible thru Ant Farm. Climb fee is about 300 pesos which includes a local guide. From Davao City, you can ride a bus bound to Cagayan and tell the driver to drop you in Impalutao's Barangay Hall or Elementary School. From there, ask any local for direction to Ant Farm (near BMEG). Impalutao is already 2 hours away from Cagayan so expect that the bus fare is already Cagayan based around 405 pesos.
Trekking time is about 2-3 hours. If you'll do trail run you can reach the ridge in less than an hour. And if you plan to spend overnight make sure you are equip with good outdoor gears.

Because children belong to the category of persons that are classified as high risk group when it comes to food-borne illness and they are more susceptible to food-borne illness and experience more severe consequences of food borne illness than adults, teaching them at an early age about food-borne illness is helpful in protecting them because when children become aware that food can be a source of illness it helps them make informed decisions on what to eat and what not to eat especially when they are alone or with their peers, away from the watchful eyes of adults.
FIPI Conducts Food-Borne Illness Survey
Some months ago the Food-Borne Illness Prevention Initiative conducted a survey on food-borne illness risk perception and awareness at Ikot-Usekong, a semi-urban community in Eket LGA, using a mixture of face-to-face administered and self-administered questionnaires. Participants were selected using a non-probability convenience sampling strategy.
Findings from the survey showed that majority of the participants have a high risk perception of food-borne illness. It also emerged that most participants simply rely on cleanliness and good sanitation as the sole means of preventing food-borne illness. There seemed to be little or no knowledge about other food safety practices like separation of raw foods and ready-to-eat foods to prevent cross contamination, temperature control of food during storage, cooking food at right temperature and time to destroy pathogenic microflora, and so on and so forth.
What this implies is that a false sense of being secured from food-borne illness is assumed by the participants simply by maintaining good sanitation and cleanliness whereas as good as this practice is, in itself alone its unable to completely prevent food-borne illness from occurring.
This finding is consistent with similar social research work conducted in other parts of the country recently by other independent researchers using different research tools.
Below are photographs of FIPI volunteers administering questionnaires to participants.

Clinical Trials
Under the direction of the CRUK/MRC Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology's Clinical Director, Professor Tim Maughan, the aim of the clinical research programme is to initiate and develop high quality clinical trials to test hypotheses emerging from the basic science research groups in the Institute.
We aspire to be a world-class early phase radiation therapy clinical trials unit, with superb underpinning infrastructure that allows rapid conduct of high quality trials and biomarker studies. Our emphasis is on exploring molecularly targeted drugs in combination with external beam radiation, or systemic radiation, and undertaking disease based research with a strong focus on pancreas, rectal, lung and bladder cancer.
Please note that as a scientific research institute, we are not able to answer questions about cancer care or cancer treatment, and strongly recommend that you contact Cancer Research UK for help with these questions

First, let me start out by apologizing for not having this up by Monday as I'd promised. Sunday night, all cable went out at my house, and they couldn't get here to fix it until late yesterday afternoon. However, since they were supposed to call us if something opened up sooner, I stuck around the house, hoping and praying. Unfortunately, nada.
However, it's also given me time to think about this comment I got a short time ago. It wasn't published as a comment, and I'll explain why in a moment. The important thing here is to remember that some people are so bothered by the idea of men acting like men, they'll lash out at anyone who won't toe the line like a good little FIM.
This comment was made on my post, Provider, Protector, and Professor. The Role of Men Part 1: The Protector, which is important as you'll see in a moment.
This is the worst piece of writing I have ever encountered. Not only is full of logical fallacies, it concludes by, essentially, arguing that men commit violence against any threat against their family or die. This kind of disgusting rhetoric supports murderous gun violence. Also, my dear man, you are not stronger than most women I've met. Perhaps you should adopt more "feminine" and intellectual solutions to your problems instead of supporting violence as the one and only solution for the "manly protector."
Now, let's dissect this piece by piece, starting with the reason it wasn't published. Simply put, after accusing me of making numerous logical fallacies, the author promptly engages in ad hominem by claiming I am so physically weak–because I make no claims about emotional or psychological strength in that piece, only physical–that I can't even match up with an average woman. This individual who posted under the name "John Smith" has shown their hypocrisy right off the bat.
Hence my refusal to allow the post to stand on its own.
Now, the piece by piece fisking of this stupid.
This is the worst piece of writing I have ever encountered. Not only is full of logical fallacies, it concludes by, essentially, arguing that men commit violence against any threat against their family or die.
Any actual threat warrants an appropriate response. Violence is usually the appropriate response.
I'm sorry you don't like that answer, but it doesn't negate the reality.
However, it's also worth noting that threats aren't mean words you dislike. A threat is a specific indication that someone intends to harm you or yours and has the means and opportunity to do so.
If I say I'm going to beat your butt via the internet, but I don't even know who you are, that's not a threat. It's bluster.
Now, if I were in your face and saying the same thing, then you'd have a threat.
So what do you do?
Well, yes, walking away isn't always inappropriate. Especially when the person making the threat isn't talking about an intent to kill or maim you. The guy in the bar talking about kicking your ass isn't intending to murder you in cold blood, after all, and most of us know that it'll be a different story in the morning.
However, what do you do when someone intends to harm you or your family? Not some drunk in a bar who thinks you were checking out his girlfriend, but someone who literally hates you and wants to destroy you?
That's where violence comes in.
Yes, you can call the police about the threat, but if you can do that, it's often because the individual making the threat is lacking the opportunity. If a guy is intending to harm you or your family and is right there, you do not have time to call the police and expect them to show up in time to do anything but deal with a crime scene.
Don't like it? Tough. That's the reality.
This kind of disgusting rhetoric supports murderous gun violence.
No, it doesn't, and anyone who thinks that saying, "Defend yourself and your family" supports "murderous" anything is a freaking moron.
Murder is the act of taking someone's life unlawfully. In other words, defending yourself–an act legal in the vast majority of the Western world–is not murder. We might get into some murky water in defining when you're defending yourself based on individual states' laws, but defending yourself is a morally just act that is also lawful.
Hence, it's not murder.
Now, is it gun violence? Yep. However, violence is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. It is simply a term we use to describe certain acts with a high potential to cause harm to someone. If I use violence to protect my family, I'm going to argue it's a good thing in this instance.
Murder, however, isn't justifiable in the vast majority of instances. Sure, there are exceptions (the battered wife who kills her husband in his sleep because she's so terrified of him, perhaps), but it's not the rule.
Frankly, anyone who thinks supporting self-defense and defense of one's family is murder is a complete and total moron.
Or maybe I'm being unfair to morons.
Also, my dear man, you are not stronger than most women I've met.
Now we get to the ad hominem portion of our evening.
Seriously, notice this nice little twist here? Most women he's met…but he's never met me so far as I know, and if he has, he's led a weirdly sheltered life…if he's is actually a "he" in the first place, something I doubt.
As noted above, this is only about physical strength, and the above-linked post lays out my evidence. "John Smith" does not actually dispute this, but instead simply claims that most women he's met are stronger than me.
Now, unless he's primarily known world-class female weight lifters, power lifters and perhaps bodybuilders, I seriously doubt he's remotely accurate in this. As noted in the post, the average woman is physically weaker than the average man. Period. Why this is so threatening to some people is beyond me.
The truth is, I believe that Mr. Smith here is lying. Of course, that's easy to point out since so far as I know, I've never met Mr. Smith, so he has no idea how strong I am or am not. He doesn't know how much I can bench, squat, or anything else. Instead, he's simply engaging in ad hominem, trying to score some cheap victory by telling the evil man that he's not much of a man.
Unfortunately, his opinion of me is nothing more to me than some blog fodder.
Carrying on…
Perhaps you should adopt more "feminine" and intellectual solutions to your problems instead of supporting violence as the one and only solution for the "manly protector."
Yes, because talking it out works so well when someone is trying to break into your house, or someone is holding a knife on you and demanding some time with your wife.
Honestly, it's like Mr. Smith here ate paint chips as a kid.
When the hell else does my family really need a protector? Oh, someone said something mean about my wife or my kids? I shouldn't beat them up? Who said I was? It wasn't me.
People don't need protecting from mean words after all. They don't need protecting from things that won't actually harm them, for crying out loud.
They need protecting from people who want to hurt them, possibly kill them, and you think that's a good time to reason with people?
Go right ahead. It's a good way to make sure you don't post moronic things on my blog in the future.
After all, while you're trying to talk to the person who just broke into your home with the intent to rape your wife and murder you and your kids, do you really expect them to see the error of their ways in that moment and repent of all their sins?
If so, you're a bigger moron than I thought.

Poet's/Author's NoteThese are the terribly insignificant musings of Aishwarya Nagar at 7:03 AM
I am currently writing two books side by side and I would like to offiliate them so a) I can keep writing them and b) they idea doesn't get busted. I have two stories to juggle because I have continual writer's block, and I get inspiration for one or the other on occasion, so I write whichever one is more appealing to me on a particular day.
I have two novels running: a fantasy one and a modern-day one that I like to classify as philosophy.
Realm of Dead is the working title of my fantasy one. Brief summary: The Labyrinth is the Eden of earth - a network of underground tunnels and chambers imbibed with immortality that prevents it's refugees from aging under it's protection. Gwen of the Duchovnys, born under an Eclipse, is daughter of the new king, who, along with ten royal Welsh families, fled to the Labyrinth post the death of the former King. The godliness of the Labyrinth is marred only by the presence of the Dark Angel, a death-like statue in the middle- the Messenger from Hell. Suspicious occurences shroud the presence of the Dark Angel and each passing day, this Eden turns slowly to something darker, threatening to betray the secret of these families, preserved since before the Plantagenets, to the modern world. Gwen and Emrys of the Silas', her best, most intimate friend, find themselves far too entangled in these matters and attempt to handle their reputation, their far-too-intimate friendship and Gwen's suspicious connection to Death while keeping themselves a secret from the modern era.
Stepmom is the working title for my psychological-philosophical realistic book, though it was originally "Far Too Precious". Brief summary: Panacea Suvari, widowed, is a substitute teacher who finds herself attracted to the Jared Sullivan, divorced father of one of her students. When they decide to get married, she finds a maze of problems in her life, like Chastity, his daughter, a suicidal girl who disapproves of the marriage and shows it but self-mutilation. A battle ensues between Panacea and Chastity, where Panacea tries to assist Chastity get over her suicidal tendencies but the closer she gets, the bloodier Chastity becomes. She loves Jared and won't separate, but she wants to save Chastity, and when an atheist Panacea discovers the peace of a church, she finds a new insight on Saving her stepdaughter. A nouveau tale of rebellion, faith and finding the honesty of one's emotions.

I'm battling warring disinterest and interest in writing them - my brain gets moods - but I'm hoping that offiliating everything will make me feel like I GOT to work, no?
The first one's there cuz I'm realy a fantasy writer so it's a passion and the second one is there because I want to share my philosophy :)
Defo...after exams, I'm all yours...!

The Governing Council of the Lagos State University (LASU) has approved the dismissal of 17 academic and non-academic staff.
According to a statement issued by the university's spokesman, those affected by the action include the chairman and vice-chairman of Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) of the institution, over various malpractices.
The Chairman and Vice-Chairman are Dr Isaac Oyewunmi and Dr Adebowale Adeyemi-Suenu.
The spokesman of the institution, Mr Ademola Adekoya, said in the statement on Friday stated that the institution also dismissed two non-academic members of staff and demoted two others.
Adekoya said that the decision to dismiss the workers was taken at the 115th Governing Council Meeting of the university, which held on Thursday.
"Pursuant thereto, the Governing Council with immediate effect dismissed 15 members of the academic staff, two members of non-academic staff, and sanctioned two others for different acts of misconduct," Adekiya said.
According to him, Oyewunmi was dismissed for demanding N50, 000 from students while Adeyemi-Suenu was sacked for "unilaterally'' altering ''the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate''.
Adekoya said the council established that Oyewunmi demanded N50, 000 from 2003 modular year students of Political Science Education on the sandwich programme to process their results.
He said the council found Oyewunmi culpable of attempt to obtain money for himself as an inducement to carry out his duties and consequently dismissed him from the service of the university.
Adekoya said the university established that Adeyemi-Suenu unilaterally altered the results of 12 students already advised to withdraw by Senate in the Department of History and International Studies in the 2015/2016 academic session.
"He changed their status from "withdrawn" to "good standing. He also changed the results of some final year students and stragglers outside the scope of the departmental decision.
"Dr Adeyemi-Suenu also awarded grade point of 2.0 to two students in an examination which they were absent.
"This is tantamount to manipulation of students results in contravention of provisions of the Conditions and Scheme of Service for Senior Staff and therefore dismissed from the service of the university,'' he said.
He listed others dismissed for various financial and academic misconducts to include Mr Olatoye Raji, Dr Olugbenro Odofin, Dr Adebowale Ademeso, Dr John Adeogun, Dr Scholastica Udegbe and Dr Olufemi Soyeju.
Also dismissed were Dr Olawale Raimi, Mr Ademola Adesina, Dr Shamisudeen Badmus, Dr Christiana Obagbuwa, Dr Emmanuel Asapo, Mr Lateef Salami, Olubukola Oyeniya and Dr Fatimat Bakare.

For some reason distribute 0.6.15 has been uploaded to PyPI as a .zip file rather than a .tar.gz. This causes distribute_setup.py to fail, as it is looking for .tar.gz files only! Running it throws an exception:

Published on TV+ link.
The higher educational institution "Euro College" began the enrolment process yesterday. This study year, the Business Administration programme offers the opportunity of enrolment to 100 students, 30 of which have already enrolled. The Dean, Ljubisha Petrushevski, pointed out that the enrolment in "Euro College" begins after the end of the second enrolment term in the state universities, because they believe that this is the period when private universities are left with room to operate. He added that "Euro College" differs from other universities by having a fruitful collaboration with
foreign students.
– We can confirm that around 200 foreign students have our degree and work with it in Dubai. This means that our college, besides being valued here, is also valued in the world, in faraway countries such as Vietnam, Dubai, or Nigeria – said the Dean.
Petrushevski noted that every Euro College student has the opportunity to study for an American degree, and the opportunity to receive a student visa for the USA.
He added:
– We have many students from the ex-Yugoslavian region who study for a Macedonian degree, which is also accredited, and for an American degree which we offer in collaboration with our partner Apollos University from Los Angeles, which is nationally accredited in USA.
He emphasized that their students have the opportunity to go on a one-month practice in Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Philippines. But, according to Petrushevski, the most important thing is that the college, established in 2003, is affordable, without any hidden expenses. Furthermore, "Euro College" offers scholarships for outstanding students, orphans, etc. One of the advantages of this institution is that they have their own textbooks in Macedonian.

Members of our Autism Advantage team joined U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier (CA-14) this morning for a press conference at the College of San Mateo. The purpose of the event was to discuss how innovative efforts in workforce development can increase the number of good jobs with good wages in the Bay Area. Representing Autism Advantage was program alumnus Liam Tyler. Tyler graduated from the Autism Advantage data analyst cohort his spring, using the program to sharpen his data skills while polishing the workplace soft skills and navigation which will help ensure his talents are matched with a successful career.
"I knew I had more to offer and how hard I could push myself, but I never was given the opportunity to show someone I could. That's where Autism Advantage came in.," said Tyler, speaking from stage alongside Congresswoman Speier. "They were the first organization that helped me believe that my disability could be proven to my advantage and that disclosing it to my employer could show them sides of me that other people may not know."
The importance of providing platforms which allow companies to access talent from outside traditional hiring practices was echoed by Congresswoman Speier.
"The Bay Area is the innovation hub of our country. We are lucky to have some of the lowest unemployment rates, but that doesn't mean that the economy is great for everyone, especially against the backdrop of the sky-high cost of living here," said Congresswoman Speier in announcing the press conference. "The Bay Area job market suffers from a disconnect between employees' skills and employers' needs. If we connect the dots, we will create good jobs with good wages."
"As an employer in Silicon Valley, our challenge really isn't about growth," said AJ Thomas, Director of Talent Development at Ten-X, who also spoke at the conference. "Our challenge is about uncovering talent who currently exist in our communities who need to be maximized. That talent can come from traditional universities, but that talent can also come from technical programs, trade certification, and apprenticeships. All of those channels have talent which we want to bring into an organization like ours."
Autism Advantage solves for Silicon Valley talent gaps by recruiting, training, placing, and supporting autistic talent. Graduates have gone on to work in critical-need positions with companies like SAP, EY, and Visa, as well as government agencies such the Department of Homeland Security.
While Autism Advantage staff was on hand to speak with members of the public and the press, having a program graduate like Tyler formally represent Autism Advantage within the program is emblematic of a key to the program's success. Unlike traditional bootcamps, where support ends upon graduation, Autism Advantage continues to support graduates and their new employers as they grow in their careers. Autism Advantage may be building the pipelines of autistic talent which Silicon Valley needs, but it also provides a platform and network to grow alumni skills and connections. By engaging alumni, and incorporating graduates as volunteers in our work and mentors to new students, Autism Advantage is helping to build Silicon Valley into a hub of autistic culture and skills.
In addition to Tyler, Congresswoman Speier was joined at the press conference by San Mateo County Community College District Chancellor Ron Galatolo, Ten-X Senior Director of Talent AJ Thomas, Open Access Founder Karen Fullerton, SAMCEDA Public Policy Associate Christina Fernandez, and Digital Marketing and Media Program graduate Dorothy Davis. Most speakers represented organizations which are partners of NOVA, the federally funded workforce development agency that has served a consortium of cities in northern Santa Clara County since 1982.
Hey! Our friend Kenneth is riding his bike this July for 100 miles from Washington, DC to the Atlantic Ocean. He decided to do this on his own to raise awareness and funds to train autistic adults through Autism Advantage. We think that's awesome and hope you do to.
