How to Repair a Laptop Screen Display
There are many ways to repair the laptop screen display. First, try unplugging your laptop, then pressing the power button for 30 seconds and restarting it. If the vertical lines are coloured, the problem is most likely with the LCD panel. It is best to take it to a computer repair shop, but if this does not work, you can try a different monitor. If you can’t fix the problem yourself, you may be facing a hardware failure.
What Is The Triple Screen Test And How Does It Work?
To determine the model of the LCD screen, look for a sticker on the back of the laptop. In some cases, the screen is held in place with 4 to 6 screw covers. Depending on the model, you may have to use a Phillips or flat head screw driver for removing them. If this is not possible, try looking in the manual or on the manufacturer’s website. The following is a list of commonly known screens, updated in April 2018.
Disengaging the bezel is the first step. To do this, you should first remove the bezel from the screen. Then, inspect the cables around the screen. If you see vertical lines, you may need to replace the screen. However, if the bezel cannot be removed without damaging the display, it will not fit. To avoid this, it is best to take the laptop apart before beginning the replacement process. Often, removing the bezel can be difficult, so it is important to understand the structure of the laptop before attempting this.

As you all know, we are celebrating the Fourth of July, the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. Many Americans are out and about, having cookouts, setting off fireworks and enjoying their lives.
But as much as I’d like to wave a flag and have a grand ol’ time. I know that the land of the free has taken many steps in the wrong direction. In 2012 President Barack Obama signed into law the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act). This act gave the U.S. government the right to indefinitely detain any U.S. citizen without trial, forever.
And even scarier, they don’t even need to tell people that you have been taken. This is an egregious violation of our rights. President Obama pledged to shut down Gitmo, to repeal the Patriot Act, to pull us from Iraq. And he has barely achieved one.
And, as you know if you watch the news, troops are being sent back. So wave your flags and set off your fireworks. Your rights continue to slip away.

The Lazy Woman’s Beauty Secret: Refresh Your Skin While You Sleep
SLEEPING IS ONE of my favorite activities,” said Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian, who values it beyond its potential for sweet dreams. “Sleep is vital for skin renewal and repair.” Overnight, our largest organ recovers from damage caused by sun, pollution and LED light; collagen forms at the deepest layers of skin; and skin cells turn over. All that can energize your visage by the time you wake. A 2015 study in the journal Clinical and Experimental Dermatology found that adults who got seven to nine hours of sleep had superior moisture retention and “subjectively felt more attractive,” said Dr. Nazarian.

United Against Hate condemns this ongoing witch-hunt of students and anti-CAA activists and demand that all students and anti-CAA activists be released immediately and unconditionally.
Nadeem Khan | Clarion India
IN YET another attempt to silence a democratic voice, the Delhi Police has arrested one more student of Jamia Millia Islamia, Asif Iqbal Tanha and implicated him in the case related to the Jamia violence. This is in continuation with their relentless witch-hunt of students and activists in the middle of the lockdown caused by the pandemic.
Asif Iqbal is a student of Persian Department at Jamia Millia Islamia. He had been earlier called for interrogation by the Special Cell on 08.04.2020 and he had cooperated with the police. Prior to this, he has been called for interrogation as many as four times by the Crime Branch. He dutifully went there and cooperated as a responsible citizen all the four times. Despite the months long ‘investigation’ and repeated interrogation, the police have found no evidence against him for the simple reason that he has committed no crime.
Asif Iqbal Tanha was taken for interrogation by special cell of Delhi police on Saturday and was arrested by Crime Branch, Chanakyapuri on Sunday and was produced before the Duty Magistrate in Saket court.
Crime Branch requested for a 3-Day Police Custody Remand for Asif which the Magistrate rejected. Asif has instead been sent to 14 days of Judicial Custody. Two days before his arrest, the Delhi Police raided his hostel room near the university.
Asif Iqbal has been a known activist in Jamia associated with Students Islamic Organisation and was part of the anti-CAA struggle in the university in the last few months. This is yet another attempt by the Delhi Police to throttle democratic voices that were vocal against the Citizenship Amendments Act and to implicate them in the false cases, while the real perpetrators of the violence go scot-free.
This is the third student of Jamia Millia Islamia that the Delhi Police has arrested since the lockdown, after the arrest of research scholars Meeran Haider and Safoora Zargar under the draconian UAPA. Besides, the President of the Jamia Alumni Association Shifa-ur-Rehman is also under custody. Many other students have been called continuously for interrogation making a mockery of the lockdown and jeopardizing the health of the students. One head constable in that Special Cell Office has been tested positive with COVID 19.
This is a concerted attempt by the Delhi Police to target students of Jamia Millia Islamia, that had emerged as one of the epicentre of the democratic mass upsurge against the unconstitutional CAA. It seems after JNU, the Delhi Police has found a new university to demonise, criminalise and target. A pregnant Safoora continues to remain in prison in the middle of the pandemic at a grave risk to her as well her child’s health and life.
Several democratic forces across the country have expressed outrage at these actions of the Delhi Police. But it seems the Delhi Police is too keen to please its political masters.
The real perpetrators and actors who incited and carried out the violence are being left scot-free. They have found the lockdown as the perfect opportunity to target these democratic voices, when there is no possibility of protests and there would hardly be any coverage of its nefarious witch-hunt.
United Against Hate condemns this ongoing witch-hunt of students and anti-CAA activists in the strongest possible terms, and demand that all students and anti-CAA activists be released immediately and unconditionally.

Police Jurisdiction Law
Supports Passage of Representative Collins’ House Bill
Boston City Councilors Bill Linehan and Council President Stephen Murphy are proud to announce the adoption of a resolution to support State Representative Nick Collins’ bill to provide the Boston Police Department with concurrent jurisdiction along the South Boston Waterfront. If this bill is passed, both departments will have the authority to patrol and make arrests in an area that is now covered exclusively by the State Police. The Council voted unanimously to adopt this resolution last week.
Councilors’ Linehan and Murphy held a hearing on this matter back in 2011; arguments regarding potential problems with BPD’s lack of jurisdiction were made, and have now come to realization.
A recent sexual assault that began on the South Boston Waterfront once again brought the police jurisdictional issue to the forefront. It became evident that, in the absence of concurrent jurisdiction, critical public safety information was not being shared with the Boston Police in a timely manner. This lack of communication severely hinders the Boston Police’s ability to appropriately protect and notify the public.
Boston is the only major city that does not have at least concurrent jurisdiction within all of its city’s boundaries. The lack of concurrent jurisdiction also raises some serious problems regarding the regulation of bars and restaurants along the waterfront. Currently the BPD, without the appropriate jurisdiction, is unable to check for potential license violations such as over serving of patrons or overcrowding of establishments. Additionally, the state police have no jurisdiction related to liquor licenses in the City of Boston, including the South Boston Waterfront. Without concurrent jurisdiction, these bars and restaurants are operating in a regulatory gray area. This common sense legislation should be passed by the state legislature to provide appropriate protection and oversight of these establishments.
Councilor Linehan said, “I commend Representative Collins on his efforts. As the waterfront area continues to grow, we need to make sure we have the proper protections and services in place to prevent any further problems. This is about the residents, employees and patrons in the area, not the police.”
Council President Murphy added, “The South Boston Waterfront has been a crucial part of the development of this City for some time now. It is no longer the no-man’s land of shipping containers. It now contains bars, restaurants, businesses, entertainment and residences. All these are historically protected and regulated by the City of Boston within its own boundaries, but because of a loophole in the legislation that enabled MassPort to own the land down there, the South Boston Waterfront was exempt from this. This legislation will put licensing, regulation, and protection back in the hands of the City of Boston. Our police department will be able to properly serve this part of the City. I commend Representative Collins and Councilor Linehan for taking action on this important issue.”
If you have any questions you may contact the office of City Councilor Bill Linehan at 617-635-3203 or the office of City Council President Stephen Murphy at 617-635-4376.

Surprisingly little work has been carried out on Scottish vitreous materials. This is largely because very little vitreous material was produced in Scotland until the post-medieval period. Glass-making in Scotland became significant only from the 17th century onwards, prior to that it is thought that all the glass had been imported. The exceptions are Bronze Age faience, which was being made in several areas in Britain (Sheridan and Shortland 2004), late Iron Age glass beads and bangles, the vitreous material cramp (Photos-Jones et al. 2007) and vitrified forts where vitrification has been used for dating studies as well as geochemistry (Sanderson et al. 1985).
Recent advances in analytical techniques being applied to glasses, such as isotopic techniques and sensitive, less destructive, techniques such as LA-ICP MS have allowed far more detailed characterisation of glasses and other vitreous materials, particularly in terms of identifying raw materials and provenance studies. There is a great deal of potential for such techniques in looking at Scottish vitreous materials in terms of identifying imported glasses, locally produced glasses and potential links between glassmaking and other industries such as the manufacture of alkalis from seaweed. Limitations remain in that completely non-destructive analysis of glasses is difficult, although recent advances in HH-XRF has allowed work into in situ historic window glass in England to be carried out successfully (e.g. Dungworth 2011) and there is the potential for this to be extended into Scotland.

This last weekend was Capital City Pride - delayed by the deluge from this June. I was not sure how Pride would play in autumn, but surprisingly, it was great fun, probably even more so than in the summer. A lot of that had to do with the fact that it was not 95 degrees and more humid than Dagobah, although it was still quite warm for October! Pride is always such a fun event, Anna really gets into it and the atmosphere is just so...well, it's hard to describe because while it's inclusive and celebratory, it is also very Midwestern.
Anna and Heidi rode on the One Iowa float. One Iowa, for those that don't know, is the group that is working their tails off for marriage equality here in Iowa. It still strikes me as odd that Iowa would be on the front lines of gay marriage, but then again, Iowans are pretty practical people so it really shouldn't come as a surprise. This was Anna's first time on a float and she hurled candy with the best of them. She even made sure that she threw a box of Dots my way (one of the small ones, not the big ones you get at movie theaters!)
One of the big highlights of Pride this year was Michelle Knight who is one of Iowa's premiere Cher impersonators. I have to wonder how much competition she has, but still, that is one dead ringer for Cher. Here she is riding in the parade, with "Believe" pumping out of the car. Even though the style (faux metal 80s leather Cher) and the song (late 90s dance diva Cher) were at odds, it still worked.
Of course, Anna HAD to meet Cher. We even got a picture!
Cher's comment to me right before the photo was being taken: "Oh, wait, let me hide the beer!" Anna's comment to me after the photo was taken "Dad, did you know that's a boy dressed up as Cher?"
The thing I love about Pride year after year (this is my third, Heidi and Anna's fourth) is that even though it is primarily the same thing each year, it is something that is so incredibly important to me. Supporting the gay community is something that I cannot feel more strongly about. I have long since forgotten why I got involved in LGBT rights issues, but there is no better way to get me riled up than to be idiotically homophobic. Part of it is that I have found a kinship among the gay community that has eluded me most of my life, but mostly, it is because I cannot stand to see basic rights that I take for granted being denied to people that I count as family.
Some would argue that I am using my daughter as a political pawn, not all that dissimilar to that moment in the Dixie Chicks movie where the little girl says "The Dixie Chicks suck!" But I can't imagine raising her any other way. Ultimately, if I'm wrong, I'll have to answer for it, but for now, I make the best decisions I can. And besides, she just likes to dress up like this.
I have no idea how much longer she'll want to do that, so I savor every year that she does it.
As my parting shot, here's Michelle Knight as Cher doing "If I Could Turn Back Time." I felt bad for her because she hardly got to do her routine, so many people were giving money! I doubt she had a problem with that though!

On Tuesday, October 9, 2018, Deciphera Pharmaceuticals hosted a webinar for the Systemic Mastocytosis (SM) community about Living with Systemic Mastocytosis, and Deciphera Pharmaceuticals’ ongoing clinical trial of DCC-2618, an investigational drug being testing in people with smoldering and advanced forms of Systemic Mastocytosis.Oliver Rosen, MD, former Chief Medical Officer at Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, and Kathy Gram, RN, Head of Patient Advocacy, presented an overview of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals and information about living with SM, as well as previously published data on DCC-2618 and some information about the ongoing clinical trial.A video of the presentation has now been posted online at the following link: https://www.deciphera.com/patients/systemic-mastocytosis/For questions, please email email@example.com.DCC-2618Deciphera Pharmaceuticals is in Phase 1 of its ongoing expansion clinical trial of treatment with DCC-2618. DCC-2618 is a kinase switch control inhibitor being tested as a potential treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), systemic mastocytosis (SM), gliomas, and other solid tumors driven by KIT kinase or PDGFRα kinase.Deciphera Pharmaceuticals’ goal is to focus on the development of DCC-2618 in patient subgroups where there is a significant unmet medical need.Approximately 94% of SM patients are reported to have a somatic D816V mutation in KIT. This D816V mutation is a gain-of-function mutation in the KIT activation switch, which leads to unregulated KIT activation. The KIT receptor, which is widely expressed on mast cells, stimulates signaling pathways that control cell growth, differentiation, and survival. The D816V gain-of-function mutation enables mast cells to proliferate in the absence of normal activation signals.Patients who are interested in exploring participation in the ongoing Phase 1 expansion clinical trial can learn more at clinicaltrials.gov or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org for a referral to a participating trial site.Deciphera Pharmaceuticals would like to thank everyone involved in the development and execution of the ongoing Phase 1 Expansion clinical trial, including patients, families, medical investigators, and clinical staff who have all held an important role in the clinical trial.DCC-2618 is an investigational drug and has not been approved by any regulatory authority.

Plants and flowers are primary elements in decorating a room or for that matter any part of the house. When it comes to flowers in hanging baskets, they are excellent for keeping in porches, balconies, and spare areas in the garden.
With simple tips, you can convert an empty space into a beautiful and relaxing hanging flower garden that everybody will adore. All you need are some creative flower basket ideas and basic gardening skills for healthy growth and maintenance of the plants.
Ideas for Hanging Flower Baskets
Cage-shaped Metallic Basket
Sphere-shaped Metallic Basket
Metal-lined Hanging Flower Basket
Rectangular-shaped Plastic Basket
Square-shaped Plastic Basket
Round-shaped Coir Hanging Flower Basket
Square-shaped Bamboo Basket
Cone-shaped Wooden Basket
Retro-styled Wooden Basket
Spoon-shaped Wooden Basket
Starting a garden with flowers maintained in hanging baskets is no different from growing a regular flower garden. The only thing is to select the best containers and flowers that are suited for the purpose. If you already know how to make hanging flower baskets, maintaining beautiful blooms in a specific arrangement is just a few steps way. Hanging baskets ideas concerning pot type, basket size, planting pattern, and flower options are highlighted below.
Select Hanging Baskets
From regular plastic containers to wire baskets and copper baskets, you will find different choices in the container gardening supply stores. Of these, wire mesh baskets are considered the best, in terms of design versatility and cost. If you use wire baskets, you can grow flowering plants in the center as well as on the sides of the planters. For such planter options, you will need a natural and plastic liner for the pots.
Hanging Basket Size
Choose large-sized hanging baskets or planters. In fact, the bigger the basket, the more attractive it will look in the porch or desk. The advantages of using a larger hanging basket are its ability to hold many plants in a single container, lesser watering frequency, and easy maintenance of the plants. The only concern is requirement of a strong support structure, as a larger pot filled with soil will be very heavy.
Correct Soil Preparation
Successful application of hanging flower basket ideas largely depends on the planting medium, i.e., potting mixture. For hanging flower baskets, it is ideal to use lightweight, peat-based, and soil free potting media sold in nursery centers. Specially used for filling hanging baskets, the soil-less mix contains water holding crystals. If not added already, you can supplement with crystals and some amount of loam or humus.
Grouping Flowering Plants
You can plant same flowering plants in the container or create variety with a mix of vibrant colored flowers. Another tip is to plant a flowering species and surround it with ornamental foliage plants on the sides. This will create a green background for the bright colored flowers. Likewise, you can think of other creative ideas for hanging flower baskets.
Select Flowering Plants
The most important phase when it comes to using hanging pots is, choosing the right variety of flowering plants. These baskets have a limited space which may not be suitable for certain varieties which grow to a large extent with time. Another thing to be kept in mind is, only those plants that need same growing conditions can be grouped together in a container. Like for instance; you can group lobelia, coleus, and impatiens for shade plantation. In case of planting in partial shade to full sunlight, licorice, sweet potato, vine and petunia flowers can be grown together.
So, this was all about hanging flower basket ideas, which you can consider while creating a hanging flower cluster in your porch. If you don't have a green thumb, start with growing similar plants, instead of grouping many varieties in a single container. By doing so, you will have less hurdles in watering, fertilizing, and caring for the houseplants. Once you become familiar with the basic caring instructions for hanging flower baskets, you can experiment with variant plants.

Online grocery marketplace Irexchange is discussing new sources of funding after postponing a proposed $17.5 million initial public offering.
Irexchange was forced to postpone its IPO after the Australian Securities and Investments Commission put an interim stop order on the prospectus late last week.
Irexchange chief executive Brett Charlton told investors on Tuesday the start-up, which would have had only $130,000 in cash at the date of listing, was in "advanced" discussions to secure other sources of funding after temporarily shelving the IPO plans.
"The company remains committed to completing an IPO later this year," Mr Charlton said. "We also reaffirm that the fundamentals of our business and opportunity remain strong and our confidence about its outlook is positive."
Irexchange offered to refund money from investors a week ago after revealing it was facing legal action and that ASIC was examining its prospectus.
As reported in The Australian Financial Review earlier this month, Irexchange convertible noteholder James Baillieu is suing the company, its advisers and four former and existing executives and directors, alleging misleading and deceptive behaviour, after unsuccessfully demanding the company return his $1 million investment.
Mr Baillieu has alleged the company made false representations about customer numbers when he invested $1 million in August 2017 and alleges it is making false claims about active customer numbers in the prospectus. He contacted ASIC setting out his concerns after filing a $1 million claim in the Federal Court in Melbourne.
Irexchange was forced to issue a supplementary prospectus and extend its offer until February 18 in the wake of Mr Ballieu's allegations and the ASIC investigation.
The interim stop order lasts 21 days, after which the company will receive a statement of concerns from ASIC.
A spokeswoman said ASIC had indicated the interim stop order was related to disclosures and had not yet formally requested more disclosures.
Irexchange would be able to address the request by issuing a revised prospectus, but a revised prospectus would not allow adequate time to raise the $17 million, hence the decision to postpone the IPO.
The start-up is aiming to disrupt the grocery, liquor and pharmacy wholesaling markets by enabling independent retailers and pharmacies to order stock directly from suppliers through an online trading platform, bypassing wholesalers such as Metcash.
In the supplementary prospectus, Irexchange stuck to its claim that it has on-boarded more than 600 retail stores (not 600 retailers) and clarified the number trading regularly.
By the end of January, it had signed up 622 retail stores, 19 of which had ordered weekly for at least the last four weeks. Another 119 had ordered in each of the last three rolling 35-day periods, and another 99 had made at least one order in the last 60 days.
Mr Ballieu said that with $17 million in convertible notes, which were to have been converted into shares at the time of the IPO, falling due in the next month or two, Irexchange had no hope of raising new funds.
"A new funder would have to pay off the $17 million before investing more into the business – who is going to do that?" he said. "The legal action is continuing, of course."
Irexchange has raised about $40 million from investors over the past few years and planned to use the IPO funds to expand into new states, new channels including pharmacies and China cross-border e-commerce and to attract more suppliers.
It lost $16.2 million last year on revenues of $13.2 million after losing $18.3 million on sales of $4.3 million in 2017. It hoped to break even on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 18 months after the IPO.

Matthew is a fun guy
I was waiting in the Bristol Guild cafe with a pot-of-tea-for-one (it was Assam, since you ask) and beguiling the minutes by staring out across the potted plants on the flat roof and sketching the fire escape, just a useful exercise in drawing perspective,which failed miserably, as it happens. It also felt a bit precious, but then that's the Guild for you. Arty. There were two other people wearing berets, and the group of elderly folk across the way threw Anthony Gormley's name into the conversation. Quite loudly. I'm not sure where that particular conversation was meandering, but one of them, a chap with a beard as well as the beret, was one of life's Eddicators. A lot of geology was mentioned; I poised my Lamy Safari fountain pen in readiness to capture the spirit of the thing, but lost the thread soon after he said "the Tibetan plateau is a similar structure." The woman opposite him at the table, to whom these words were addressed, looked duly impressed, though.
And then Charlie came along and we talked. And then we went off in our different directions. Last time I'd met Charlie for coffee, I'd ended up being run over by a car, so this time I was being vigilant. As I ascended Park Street, I saw a man holding a basket, in the sort of way you would hold a basket if you wanted people to see what was in it, but weren't entirely sure that you wanted them to look after all.
So of course I had to look. And then I carried on. And then I stopped and went back.
"You're wondering what they are," he said.
"They're Jews' Ears," I said.
"I'm impressed," he said.
He was touting them around Bristol's restaurants, but it being lunchtime, they were a bit busy so he was biding his time.
We agreed that Jews' Ears aren't the most pretty of fungi, but at least they are available in January. That's macrobiotics for you.
I asked his name, so that I would have a name to go with the photo.
"Not the famous Dru of Oxford?"
I had to think about this for a few moments.
"I don't think so..."
There's a famous Dru of Oxford? Crikey.
(postscript) I've been criticised for describing the fungus as Jew's Ears. As I don't own the term, I have taken the crit on board, and shall in future make a point of describing the fungus in question as Jelly Ears. Perhaps in time the Latin name will be changed from its present Auricularia Auricula-Judae to something else. I can only say that I was aware of the historical resonances of the name; Judas is supposed to have hanged himself from an elder tree, and it is upon elders that Jelly Ears like to grow. And further, elder is a tree associated with witchcraft. So associating it with Judas, and naming the fungus after him, is both anti-pagan propaganda and anti-Semitism. I consciously used the old name because it is an historical curiosity, in the same way that I look at Marlowe's Jew of Malta and Chaucer's Jewish characters, compared with whom Shakespeare's Shylock seems almost benign; as examples of institutional racism that need to be looked at full-on. But you can hardly be expected to know that, in a casual description like the blog entry above.

The Female Beauty Myth
$19.95 Buy and instantly download this paper now
The paper discusses the views of Naomi Wolf in her book "The Beauty Myth" that the enforced version of female beauty helps to maintain male economic and political power. The paper also discusses Noam Chomsky's argument that the powerful elite of our society deliberately manipulate the media they control in order to maintain the current status quo. The paper examines current popular media, especially television and film, to investigate whether these allegations appear to be valid. The paper concludes that the beauty ideal is indeed a myth that the elite of our society convey to us via the popular media in order to keep women in their inferior place.
From the Paper:"In her book The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf argues that the ideal of female beauty that is projected in modern mass media is simply the latest method of keeping women in a subservient role within the patriarchal system. Wolf sees the aggressive pushing of a particular form of beauty as an important part of a backlash against the successes that have been achieved by the feminist movement. She believes that this enforced version of female beauty helps to maintain male economic and political power, by keeping women busy with diet and exercise, or keeping them so consumed by anxiety that they are unable to act effectively in the worlds of business and politics. Wolf argues this point with reference to many aspects of the popular media, noting that they all send the message that it is vitally important for women to be beautiful; and that in order to beautiful, women must be thin (and preferably also young, white and blonde). In considering these allegations, we also need to keep in mind that theorists such as Noam Chomsky have argued persuasively that the media is controlled by the powerful elite of our society, who deliberately manipulate the media they control in order to maintain the current status quo."

Audiovisual resources as a useful tool to improve the teaching of coastal engineering (marine science bsc degree)
MetadataShow full item record
SourceEDULEARN14 Proceedings, pp. 6117-6124
Numerous graduates from American Universities apply for their degree homologation for the Marine Science certificate in Spain. The Spanish Ministry of Education supports this as long as they can pass an exam based on several subjects including Coastal Engineering at the University of Cadiz. The subject of Coastal Engineering is currently being taught in the third year of the BSc degree. This is a very specific subject and unfortunately there is no adequate bibliography that allows for the breadth of knowledge needed to pass the final exam. In addition, it may be difficult for foreign students to properly prepare the subject because they cannot attend the lessons at the campus. Therefore, an innovative project was proposed to create videos where lessons are explained. These files were uploaded to the Virtual Classroom. In this way, students of the Marine Science BSc degree were also encouraged to use these audiovisual resources because not all of the enrolled students were able to attend the classes as they had clashing schedules. On the other hand, some students have an Erasmus grant and their knowledge of Spanish has not reached the required level in terms of assimilating all the given explanations. Enabling these audiovisual resources would be very useful for their studies, not only from a technical but also from a linguistic point of view. The exams from the last few years were solved and explained in documents that were also uploaded later to the Virtual Classroom in order to facilitate the study of the subject. This represented a valid and helpful alternative way in which students could prepare for their final exam. During the months of September and October a grantee was hired to assist the preparation of all the teaching material. From November to January, several PowerPoint files were prepared (including formulations, summaries and practical solved exercises) and oral explanations were implemented. The performance of the audiovisual resources was facilitated by the free software Active Presenter (http://atomisystems.com/activepresenter/). The students completed a satisfaction survey about the quality and usefulness of the audiovisual lectures, in order to assess the levels of interest and success that were achieved. According to the results obtained, these audiovisual resources can be considered to be in the public domain and hence can be uploaded to the Cadiz University repository. In order to disseminate the results of the project’s usefulness in academia, lectures explaining its methodology, results and conclusions used will be given, not only in the same faculty but also at this International Conference to further its applications to other subjects.

DAYTON — Sinclair Community College has received a grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) to support foster youth education.
They were awarded $15,000 in funding to support fifteen former foster youth who are interested in pursing a short-term certificate in Nurse Aid Training.
The program is designed to take less than one year and will provide students the opportunities and skills needed for a career path.
“It’s our responsibility to ensure that every student has equal access to education and the opportunity to meet their full potential,” said President Dr. Steve Johnson. “There is already so much that we do to support students that have self-identified as formerly in foster care. This additional funding will allow us to bolster our existing efforts and we are extremely grateful.”

Georgia Gov. Zell Miller has signed into law the "Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act," which unbundles natural gas services and opens residential gas markets to competition.
Under S.B. 215, in less than three years Atlanta Gas Light Co. and its affiliates, Georgia Natural Gas and Savannah Gas Co., no longer will sell natural gas directly to end users. Instead the companies only will provide delivery service.

Defra has launched an Agriculture, Animal Health and Welfare, Plant Health and Forestry theme under its Red Tape Challenge.
The challenge was launched by the Cabinet Office in April 2011 to open up regulation to the scrutiny of the public and businesses. Themes that have had their turn in the spotlight previously include the environment, hospitality, food and drink and water and marine issues.
The latest focus was launched last week and will review existing regulation on agriculture, animal health and welfare, plant health and forestry, as well as a small number of environmental regulations not previously examined.
The work builds on the Farming Regulation Task Force and is a good opportunity to raise unnecessary or out-dated requirements.
Defra wants to hear where rules overlap, are too complicated or where they are now redundant. You can also suggest where there is scope for making regulation more efficient or improving guidance and implementation rules on the ground.
