The practice of detoxifying the body to rid it of unhealthy toxins has been around for centuries. According to Lady Lux, detox diets are low in calories and cut out refined sugars, packaged foods, sodium, and alcohol. They promote the consumption of lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, water and herbal tea. Websites like Everday Health, encourage us to cleanse our organs, especially the liver, because it is our body's best defense when it comes to filtering out toxins.
Chopping fruits and vegetables and juicing greens can be time consuming, and also expensive. To make it easy on yourself, there are pre-packaged options that give you all of the benefits of a cleanse, without any of the work. Here are five pre-packaged detox and cleanse diets. Pick out your favorite and cleanse your body before the holiday season hits!

From Fan History Wiki
Heidi8 was a Harry Potter fan fiction writer from Florida. She was one of the founders of FictionAlley.Org, on which she was a board member.[1] According to some reports, she provided the majority of FictionAlley.Org's funding from her own pocket[2], though an official source naming her as primary funder is not available.[3]
She was also on the board of directors of HP Education Fanon, Inc., the nonprofit organization responsible for several Harry Potter fandom conferences.[4] She was specifically mentioned as being involved with Nimbus in 2003.[5] In 2004, she was mentioned as a staff member at The Leaky Cauldron.Org.[6]
She has been frequently interviewed by the press as a representative of Harry Potter fandom; examples appear below.
On LiveJournal, she used the username Heidi8; on JournalFen, she used the username Heidi. On some other forums, including the Fandom Wank Wiki, she has used the username Gigaprincess.
Note: On September 7, 2006, Heidi8 requested that her last name be removed from the wiki, and it has been generally removed in accordance with this request.[7] However, most of her fandom activity has been under her full name, and most sources which quote or mention her use her full name. No attempt has been made to redact direct quotations or eliminate links to quotations, as such redaction would render articles inaccurate.
An extensive timeline of the involvement of Heidi8 and Cassandra Claire in the Harry Potter fandom can be found on the wiki. This history is summarized below under Summary; citations for all uncited material below may be found in the timeline.

Heidi8's first appearance in Harry Potter fandom dates to July 7, 2000, when she made what was, according to Heidi8, her first post to the group HPforGrownUps. According to this post, she discovered the group based on an article in The Washington Post.[8]
In Harry Potter fandom, Heidi8 was commonly known to be an intellectual property attorney. This is specifically mentioned in the disclaimers of her fan fiction story, Surfeit of Curses in its postings on the Yahoo! group, HP_Paradise, and is brought up several times when Cassandra Claire was later blacklisted from FanFiction.Net for plagiarism.
From the disclaimers of Surfeit of Curses, posted in March 2001 on HP_Paradise:
- Disclaimer: The characters in this section all belong to JK Rowling, but if her people want to come after me, I can defend myself under both New York and Florida law.
- Disclaimer: The characters in this section all belong to JK Rowling, but if her people want to come after me, I can defend myself under both New York and Florida law. Almost the entirety of this work is from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but the copyright's expired on her work, so there is no copyright infringement. Consider it an homage, not plagiarism!
As a lawyer, her opinion has been sought on legal matters affecting fandom and fan fiction such as copyright infringement[9] and use of the MPAA rating system by fan fiction archives.[10][11]
Historically, Heidi8 was part of Cassandra Claire's inner circle of friends. On August 27, 2000, Heidi8 recommended Cassandra Claire's fan fiction story, Draco Dormiens, on HPforGrownUps. Not long after, in Heidi8 was listed by Cassandra Claire as one of her beta readers. This close association of fan fiction writer and beta reader would continue for several years.
Around October 2000, Heidi8 began posting her own fan fiction to the group HP_FanFiction and to FanFiction.Net, and later to HP_Paradise when that group was established in February 2001. HP_Paradise was primarily founded to showcase the fan fiction of Ebony, Jana, Heidi8, Al, Yael, John Walton, Viola, Rave, and Jim Ferer.[12]
Heidi8 was heavily involved in the discussion of Cassandra Claire's June 22, 2001 blacklisting from FanFiction.Net. One month later, on July 22, 2001, she would become a founder of the FictionAlley.Org fan fiction archive. As of September 11, 2006, all domain names associated with FictionAlley.Org-- Schnoogle.Com, Riddikulus.Org, TheDarkArts.Org, AstronomyTower.Org, and FictionAlley.Org-- were registered in Heidi8's name, and she was frequently described as the president of FictionAlley.Org, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of FAWA and HP Education Fanon, Inc., the nonprofit organization which ran several Harry Potter conferences, including Nimbus in 2003.
Heidi8 was a highly influential figure in Harry Potter fandom due to her association with Cassandra Claire, and due to the popularity of her FictionAlley.Org archive. However, she was not without controversy, much of which had to do with her close association with Cassandra Claire.
- As an intellectual property attorney and representative of FictionAlley.Org, Heidi8 has tried to clarify FictionAlley.Org's official position regarding Cassandra Claire's blacklisting from FanFiction.Net for plagiarism in 2001. In some cases, this has led to accusations of "actionable libel" being directed against those who claimed that Cassandra Claire plagiarized. (Discussed further below)
- As has Cassandra Claire, Heidi8 has been publicly accused of plagiarism in her Harry Potter fan fiction (Discussed further below)
- When laptops were allegedly stolen from Cassandra Claire's apartment, Heidi8 organized a funding drive to replace the laptops. This became widely known in multiple fandoms as LapTopGate. (Discussed further below)
- Her initial refusal to post a link in her journal to a funding drive to help a cancer patient was the catalyst for a flamewar which became known as Charity Wank. (Discussed further below)
Legal Threats
In 2001, Heidi8 accused Cairnsy of libel for claiming that people were being banned from the ParadigmOfUncertainty list for disagreeing. Implied in this accusation was disagreement with the list's official position that Cassandra Claire was not a plagiarist.[13][14]
Heidi8 has repeatedly accused Michela Ecks (a.k.a. Laura Hale) of actionable libel and/or defamation of Cassandra Claire.[15] According to Heidi8's comments, the specific reason for these accusations is Michela Ecks' claim that Cassandra Claire plagiarized in 2001. Examples follow:
On Wikipedia:
- Hi - this is Heidi, Cassie's attorney - I didn't get an email from the person who posted above me, but I can be reached at heidi @ heidi8.com (I'm traveling this month, so that's the best way to catch me). Yes, the posts that an individual or group of individuals persists in posting here are actionable libel, and they must stop. Examples of defamatory statements in the entry include things like "It would take Cassandra Claire four years to fix her disclaimers on her stories", which is a clear lie, given the existence of this entry in the WayBack Machine - [1]. I am cheered that earlier claims that no sourcing had been done by Cassie in her fic have now been corrected to read "The disclaimer did not attribute an author and cited the wrong books" - I wonder if the person posting here on Wikipedia finally read my post at the Fanthropology LJ, where I clearly [2] pointed out that no plagiarism had taken place because Cassie had never said that the scene was original to her. We have been having this argument for well over four years now, and it has to stop because it has gone beyond any actual discussion, if such a thing ever existed, and is now a personal vendetta by a person or persons against Cassie. She is not a plagiarist - she is a young woman who did not cite a book that she admitted to incorporating material from, with chapter and verse when she posted a fanfic in December of 2000. Stop posting defamatory accusations that she plagiarised, or we'll have to take this into the Wiki dispute zone, per the site's Terms, and that sort of thing can get those who defame banned from Wiki.[16]
On Fandom Wank's Greatest Hits:
- Actually, it would be best if the mods removed *all* of your posts, given they contain defamation, but I understand if they want to leave them up for some reason or other.[17]
Note: Michela Ecks is the owner of the Fanhistory.Com wiki, though she is not the primary author of this article.
Heidi8, like her friend Cassandra Claire, was alleged to have plagiarized from published novels in her fan fiction stories. Specifically, text from published novels is alleged to have been incorporated directly into her fan fiction, either with no citation, or with a disclaimer at the end of chapter noting the novel was used for "inspiration."
The following example was taken from her incomplete story, Surfeit of Curses:
- Never did Draco find anything so difficult as to keeping himself from losing his temper when he was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. "It makes me feel as if someone had hit me," he had said once. "And as if I want to hit back. I have to remember things quickly to keep from saying something ill-tempered." The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage, but around Lucius, it had to be done.
- Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.
Further examples and commentary may be found in a post on the JournalFen community, Bad Penny, which broke the story of Heidi8's plagiarism on August 9, 2006.[18]
Heidi8 responded to the plagiarism accusations.[19][20] Excerpted from one of her responses:
- And, of course, amid all that, I had YMs and emails calling me a plagiarist because I didn't do MLA citations for a fic that I wrote over five years ago, or because I stupidly forgot to cite a Prefab Sprout song, or a Shel Silverstein poem, or three lines from Cicero. Yes, I was stupid to forget to cite them, and I am sorry that I did, and that in the ensuing years, I didn't go back and reread the fic and realise it at some point along the way. I went onto FA yesterday and fixed them there, and I think I've caught everything, and I don't think it's up anywhere else but on the Paradise list - I've emailed Yael about editing those in the files section. If I didn't, please feel free to follow FA's copyright infringement policy from the Terms of Use - if you do, the usual procedure will kick in as it did this past weekend, and I'll have to correct it or have the fic pulled down. I don't know, at this point, if I'm going to opt to leave everything up there going forward, but I also don't feel capable of making that kind of decision at this time. It's been a very long month and a very long week.[21]
Heidi8 was initially alleged to have received death threats in the wake of the plagiarism allegations, though the existence of specific threats directed at her were never substantiated.[22][23][24]
Stalker Gate
In late November 2001, the set up for what was to become the "Jeff, the Stalker" incident took place. Charlotte Lennox described the situation as follows:
- The admins at GT didn't like this. At all. The ones who didn't like it the most were Imogen and a woman named Chryslin who had written another fic in Imogen's Alpha and Omega universe called (I believe) Deconstructing Harry. Anyway, there was turmoil, flame wars, angry emails, etc. Chryslin had a husband named Jeff, and Jeff, bristling in defense of his wife, her friends, and their beloved ship, sent Cassandra Claire and a teenaged girl named Emily some exceedingly nasty emails.
This is confirmed in an FLocked LiveJournal entry of a member of Gryffindor Tower, discussing this event which clarified it as:
- It started with (as told in Charlotte Lennox's tale) CC asking for H/G fic recs and reading and dissing Imogen's fic. I have no idea what Jeff might have written to CC, but if he wrote anything to her it would have been regarding Imogen's fic and not the plagiarism. Perhaps he addressed that part as well, but the plagiarism wasn't the catalyst of all this.
A comment in that entry from a Gryffindor Tower member, regarding the events as they went down, described it as this:
- I have no idea what CC's reply might have been but I'm going to say something here that I haven't told anyone (outside the GT admins) since all this went down. When CC dissed Imogen's fic on FA, I contacted her as well. I did not use profanity, but I was cold and disapproving. CC saw fit to reply to me not once, but twice, the second time CCed to Heidi. The first might have been as well, but frankly I didn't notice at the time, and I no longer have copies (unfortunately, I deleted them when GT closed, as I didn't think I'd have any need for them). While neither of CC's replies to me were profane, they were nasty and provocative. In the second email, she specifically said (I remember this much) that she wasn't expecting a reply. Basically she was throwing down a gauntlet for me to reply to her, to engage her, whatever. I didn't. Call me passive-aggressive, but I wasn't going to give her what she wanted (and frankly in retrospect, it was the right thing to do).
- So while I have no idea what specifically CC might have said to Jeff, I can easily imagine that she was just as provocative to him as she was to me. I can easily see how it was all a pissing contest. From all appearances, that's what she was trying to get into with me.
- Note she doesn't come right out and say that he said this to her. She just speculates that he thinks that. But how many of her fangirls would note the difference. I also found it laughable that she'd attribute such a dramatic turn of phrase to Jeff, since, while this was going on she described him as a "sub-moronic troglodyte".
In November of 2001, Sugar Quill had a summit in New York City. It was one of several they would have and summit meeting notes were posted to Sugar Quill's message board. These message boards are no longer available. The November 2001 summit had several people from FictionAlley.Org show up for a demanded sit down lunch to ostensibly discuss fandom unity. This meeting had Arabella, Moey, Moey's husband, and GinnyPotter from the Sugar Quill and Cassandra Claire and Ashley from FictionAlley.Org at it. According to sources who attended, Heidi8 was scheduled to show up at the meeting but could not get to New York City that weekend. Heidi had really wanted to attend because she wanted to meet MelissaTLC from The Leaky Cauldron. The story according to members of Sugar Quill is that this was Heidi's primary motivation for wanting to go to New York City. At this meeting, the issue of the stalker was not brought up but Cassandra Claire's real name, Judith, was revealed. It was this revelation that would later lead Cassandra Claire, Heidi8 and Stacey to believe that Sugar Quill had provided this information, Cassandra Claire's real name, to Jeff. The meeting has been described by some people as tense and uncomfortable. The two groups did not get along. Their problems dated back to HPforGrownUps in 2000, and were further enflamed by the Cassandra Claire plagiarism situation. Relations continued to degrade because of various fic reviews and fic discussion groups, and discussions on FictionAlley Park threads, as well as some at Sugar Quill.
Several days after the Sugar Quill Summit, the kerfluffle involving Imogen's stories took place. This was when Cassandra Claire asked for fic recommendations and Imogen's Harry/Ginny story one was offered. It was then that Cassandra Claire wrote nasty things about various fans, including Imogen and Chryslin. [25] Imogen sent a complaint to Fiction Alley moderator Simon regarding this. Simon never took any action regarding this. It is speculated that if Simon had stepped in to ask Cassandra Claire to stop that Stalker Gate would never have happened. In any case, what was done was done. During the subsequent kerfluffle, Jeff sent Cassandra Claire negative feedback, a defense of his wife and, or more comments regarding Cassandra Claire being a plagiarist.
It was shortly after this meeting that Cassandra Claire, Heidi8, and Stacey approached the women of Sugar Quill with the issue of the stalker. They claimed that they were trying to track do down the IP address information for Jeff to further implicate him as a guilty guy who was sending death threats and harrassing Cassandra Claire. [26][27] Cassandra Claire, Heidi8 and Stacey demanded of the Sugar Quill women IP address information. They also referenced the legal situation and the police having been contacted. In the end, the Sugar Quill folks gave the FictionAlley.Org crew what they wanted.
LapTopGate is discussed in greater detail elsewhere. In brief, Cassandra Claire posted in her LiveJournal on December 5, 2004 to say that her apartment had been burglarized, and three laptops stolen-- one belonging to Cassandra Claire; one belonging to her roommate, Rubydebrazier[28]; and one belonging to Cassandra Claire's boyfriend, Tromboneborges ("Josh"), who had been visiting for the weekend[29]. Heidi8 organized a "whip-round" to replace the missing laptops on her LiveJournal with the assistance of other prominent fans in the Harry Potter community, including Copperbadge ("Sam Vimes").
According to Mlleelizabeth, the post requesting donations was originally FLocked, and Heidi8 was asked to unFLock the post so that others could help. Heidi8 did so.[30][31]
The post was later updated to include solicitations for donations to replace a box of action figures allegedly stolen at the same time as the laptops. According to the posts, the action figures were in their original packaging, and intended for donation to the hospital at which Rubydebrazier worked. On Fandom Wank, Heidi8 would indicate that those who had criticized donating to replace stolen laptops should donate to purchase toys for the hospital.[32][33]
Heidi8 also posted on the Cassie and rhysenn mailing list to solicit donations; the Cassie and rhysenn list had over 4000 members at the time, and was dedicated to fan fiction written by Cassandra Claire and Rhysenn.[34][35]
The posts soliciting donations on Heidi8's LiveJournal and the Cassie and rhysenn mailing list would draw heavy criticism due to apparent profiteering from fan fiction[36][37], and several would question the existence of stolen action figures.[38][39]
Heidi8 updated her post on LiveJournal to include how much was donated and who donated[40], but a final accounting of the total amount raised and its exact disposition was never disclosed.[41]
Invidereliana, the daughter of cancer patient, Christina, contacted Heidi8 by posting in her LiveJournal to request assistance in raising money to assist her sick mother.[42][43][44] This contact would eventually lead to Charity Wank.

Just for starters
' He was born in 1898, into a rough and ready but pious Ulster Protestant
family in Belfast; his father was dense and eccentric-a man with "more power
of confusing an issue or taking up a fact wrongly than any man I have ever

Lewis turned ten, was warm and loving and simple '
"Simple" is not the word for Florence Hamilton Lewis, warm and loving as she
may have been. Nor was Albert "dense" if that means "stupid." Nor am I
sure how this definitely upper-crust bourgeois family becomes "rough and
ready" in the writer's mind.
On a minor point, it looks to me like the savagery inflicted on the boy
Lewis, while real enough, and while it may have affected his sexual
development certainly, came before Malvern, a school about which he has
other complaints to make.
' (He also took up with a much older married woman, with whom he had a long
affair that may have had a sadomasochistic tinge.) '
Or may have involved dressing up as bears. Or "may have had" almost
anything. In the total absence of any evidence but surmise.
' It was through the intervention of the secretive and personally troubled
Tolkien, however, that Lewis finally made the turn toward orthodox
Christianity. '
Ooh! and doesn't that make Tolkien sound weird! Surely if anybody was
being 'secretive,' it was Lewis with Janie Moore... not Tolkien with his
very public wife and four children? Or does he mean the private language
and tales which were Tolkien's hobby? We are not told. Was Tolkien more
'troubled' than any other adult who'd been through the war, had financial
difficulties, practiced with commitment an unpopular religion? I doubt it -
but we've got to make that conversion sound dubious.
I'd better stop picking nits, but I do question the tone of ensuing
paragraphs which try to make Lewis a belligerent defender of Anglicanism
above all other Christian creeds. That's quite misleading and unfair.
Half-baked is about right, David. And ... one wishes that the NEW YORKER

Yep, and the half-baked articles will continue to issue forth at least until
the film is released, and for some time afterwards providing the film is

- Could people give us a list of the errors in the Lewis article in _The New
Yorker_? If you'd prefer, you can send it to me privately by E-mail. I'd
like to write a letter to them and it would be useful to have a list of the
errors to refer to. I'd like to know particularly about straight errors of fact
in the article. I actually don't dislike the article as much as I thought I
would. It contains a few interesting insights, although on the whole it
misses the point.

Indeed, the existence of any sexual relationship between them at all -
however likely - is pure speculation. It's unprofessional of a writer to
treat a fairly well-founded speculation as solid fact in order to build a
completely unfounded speculation on top of it.
>Tolkien thought that literature ended at 1100.1400, actually, but who's counting? Tolkien's and Lewis's argument was
that earlier literature, because of its difficulty and mental distance from
us, was a proper study of higher education. Later literature students read
for their own pleasure (and in those days, they did). They didn't need a
college course to learn it. The kind of hermetic lit-crit since used to

he emphatically held that Christianity tout court - not Anglicanism

non-Christians as well.)

The former Woodbury resident accused in 2008 of setting fire aboard an airplane is back in custody after being extradited by federal agents from Mexico. Eder Haron Rojas, 22, appeared in United States federal court Thursday in Fargo after being a fugitive for more than two years, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Rojas was charged in 2008 with one count of setting fire aboard an aircraft - a charge stemming from a May 7, 2008, incident.
The awards keep piling up for Woodwinds Health Campus. The latest came last week, when the hospital was named a "Best Hospital" in the Twin Cities by U.S. News Media and World Report. The rankings selected 720 hospitals nationwide from a list of about 5,000, according to a press release.
Did the "Jersey Shore" wash up on streets of Woodbury? Perhaps so, according to a couple men who offered a unique description of their alleged assailants in an assault case. According to a Woodbury police report, a patron at Throwbacks said he was beat up July 23 by one of two men described as "Guidos" - a term popularized by the Italian-American members of the popular "Jersey Shore" cable television program. The report states that the two suspects were at the bar and became loud.
A Woodbury man appears in court today on charges that he threatened another man with a handgun. Thomas John McGillis, 47, was charged with terroristic threats - a felony - after a July 10 incident at a Woodbury home. The charges stemmed from an incident at McGillis' residence. A criminal complaint states the ex-husband of McGillis' wife came to the residence that day to pick up a child. According to the complaint, McGillis met the man at the door.
Woodbury would be home to at least two major stops in a transit plan linking St. Paul with Eau Claire, Wis. Under a plan released last week by a commission tasked with mapping out transit possibilities along Interstate 94, Woodbury would see transit stations for either bus-rapid transit or light rail. According to the Gateway Corridor Commission, those stations would be located at Radio Drive and Hudson Road and at Woodbury Drive and Hudson Road.
DENMARK TOWNSHIP -- Cody Fudally had just completed a three-mile foot race where he battled flames, long hills, mud puddles and high winds. "I'm actually kind of wanting to do it again right now," the Apple Valley man said. "Seriously." Indeed, there was madness of all kinds on display Sunday at Afton Alps Ski Area.
ST. PAUL -- A group of Republican lawmakers proposed legislation Thursday that they said would prevent Minnesota's government from coming to a screeching halt in the event of another political stalemate. "This cannot be allowed to happen again," Sen. Ted Lillie, R-Lake Elmo, said of the state government shutdown, which lasted 20 days. He proposed reviving a 2006 bill authored by Lt. Gov.
By Mike Longaecker Firefighters said a lightning strike was to blame this afternoon for a house fire that left a Woodbury home heavily damaged. The house, located at 2725 Leyland Trail, received major smoke and fire damage to its interior, Woodbury Fire Department Commander Greg Schlichting said. No one was home at the two-story house at the time of the fire.
Minnesota flags flew at half-staff Monday in honor of a 24-year-old Woodbury soldier who died earlier this month. Ian Williams McConnell, an active duty Marine and 2005 Hill-Murray School graduate, died July 4. According to a news release from Gov. Mark Dayton's office, McConnell served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, where he performed explosive ordinance disposal. "Sgt. McConnell was compassionate and selfless and had a good sense of humor," according to a proclamation issued by Dayton. His parents are Andy and Elizabeth McConnell.

The Golden State Warriors' roster includes just-graduated Alabama players Richard Hendrix and Mykal Riley. The Charlotte Bobcats' roster includes Jermareo Davidson and Chuck Davis, who finished their Crimson Tide careers earlier.
The NBA Summer League play in Las Vegas began Friday and continues through July 20 and games can be viewed live on the NBA's official website, www.nba.com
Going into Monday's games Golden State was tied with Detroit with 2-0 records. Hendrix, an All-Southeastern Conference forward as a junior this past season for the Tide, did not play in those games as he is nursing a quad injury. The second round Warriors draft pick is hoping to get on the floor in Vegas, including Tuesday night's game.
"We won our first game
Meanwhile Riley, who was a senior on the Alabama team this past season, played 6:38 in Golden State's 95-86 win against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Riley did not score in the game (was 0-1 from the field) but he did get two rebounds. He did not play in the Warriors' opening game on Friday.
Davidson, a senior at Alabama in 2007, played his rookie NBA season this past year with the Bobcats who are 1-1 in summer league play. Davidson is starting and has averaged 13.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in his two games. He scored 15 points and had 8 rebounds in an 81-66 win against the Clippers and scored 12 points and had 9 rebounds in a 77-75 loss to the Hornets. Davis, who has been playing in Europe since his senior season at Alabama in 2006, is averaging 5.0 points and 3.0 rebounds. He played just under 11 minutes in the Clippers game and scored six points and had four rebounds. He played 6:40 against the Hornets and scored four points and had two rebounds.
Hendrix, Riley and Davis all graduated from Alabama, receiving their degrees in three and a half years for Riley and Davis and in just three years for Hendrix. Davidson is about a semester away from graduation.

The future of internationalisation will require a renewed focus on the reasons for doing it and will take into account the changing context for international higher education, where there are no longer barriers between global and local.
The struggle for higher education reform in Ukraine has been long and the passing of new legislation is by no means the end of the process. Now universities must focus on the reform�s implementation.
Internationalisation of higher education would be more successful if it took account of the local context, was aligned to institutional missions and if more attention was paid to measuring its outcomes.
A new programme is seeking to understand what can help Chinese postgraduate students make a successful transition to study abroad in Australia, and hopefully in other Western countries as well.
Latin America is making strong progress in international higher education. But it needs to look more at alliances between countries rather than being too dependent on Europe and North America.
Universities that teach their students the soft skills employers are crying out for will have a competitive advantage and will ensure that going to university is worth the debt burden students are accruing.
English grammar programmes are increasingly popular around the world, but students are not interested unless they can see a practical application.
A twinning programme between Malaysia and Australia is teaching Malaysian students leadership skills and confidence to navigate the professional world while keeping them grounded in their own culture.
Indian higher education is highly complex. Despite fast growing enrolment, there are concerns about quality. Reform of the system needs to begin with moves towards greater transparency.
Creating environmental sustainability on United States campuses was the big goal a few years ago. Today, ensuring financial sustainability is a much more difficult challenge to face.
The fourth Global Survey on Internationalization of Higher Education provides information on trends - but the information it presents should not be taken at face value. Much is about perceptions rather than concrete fact, with many people surveyed possibly motivated more by good intentions than by reality.
Recent moves by the Philippines and Thailand to change their academic calendars have been bolstered by arguments about internationalising higher education. However, academic calendars are a reflection of diverse cultures, and other issues are surely more important for student mobility, including the quality of higher education on offer.
The draft law on higher education put to Ukraine's previous parliament was a compromise and needs amending in line with the drive towards greater transparency and democracy promoted by the Maidan protests.
Branch campuses are often seen merely as cash cows. But they can mature into innovative, knowledge-producing organisations if they are properly administered and take advantage of local expertise.
There is a yawning gap between student and academic views on whether graduates are prepared for the world of work, and those of business leaders and the public. The problem is that academics are not teaching curricula that are in tune with what is happening outside the world of academe.
The Journal of Studies in International Education was launched 17 years ago in response to a need to stimulate research into the internationalisation of higher education. Its evidence-based approach is needed now more than ever.
There is a lot of focus on international branch campuses, despite the fact that they only form a small part of universities' internationalisation activities. There should be more emphasis on developing online and open learning as affordable global engagement strategies.
Serhiy Kvit - one of University World News' popular bloggers - has been appointed minister of education and science in Ukraine. In this, his last blog for us, the professor and rector describes the involvement of students and academics in the momentous changes of the past month.
Students at Dubai's branch campuses may not be involved in mountain hikes or nature trips, but they are taking part in extra-curricular business competitions inspired by the environment in which they are set. And, despite stereotypes, many of those taking part are girls.
Due to cuts in public subsidy of higher education in the United States there is an increasing problem of oversupply of PhD students. Several solutions have been suggested, but cutting admissions to PhD courses seems a sensible short-term option.
A recent dialogue on the future of international education aimed to debate the issues in an inclusive arena in South Africa. However, vested interests still dictate that the agenda remains unequal. Organisations need to work together to make international education a truly global matter.
The confusing proliferation of university league tables has further commercialised the university and moved it away from a focus on the core purpose of preparing global citizens. Rankings providers need to be more transparent and accountable, given the immense power they wield in reconstructing the university.
Involving students is key to understanding the complexity of what constitutes 'student success'. Current measurement tools are not adequate to show the nuances of what makes students enjoy and complete a course.
Mission statements encourage �mission creep� because they don�t provide any economic context and spur ever-growing demands which are difficult to budget for in the current climate.
An international conference on offshore education in Dubai brought together higher education researchers from 30 countries. It also marked the resurgence of Dubai after the financial collapse.

Try to fit in Zion National park and make the Escalante Staircase drive. Do some hiking in the Canyons of the Escalante River. If you have not been it will blow you away. It certainly did for me.
We had a RV but lots of tent friendly campgrounds.
That's a pretty short time for a lot of distance. That being said, here's a couple of places to stop on the way.
1. Custer State Park. It's pretty amazing. The road is quite narrow and twisty, but it is a testament to what it took to build it. Lots of wildlife to see -- perhaps more than you may see in Yellowstone (!).
2. Devil's Tower. You've seen the pictures, but seeing it in person is pretty amazing.
3. Shell Canyon (West side of Bighorns). Nice drive.
4. Cody -- don't miss the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, one of the most important museums of western art and one of the largest and most important collections of firearms in the world.
5. This one is tough -- which way to Yellowstone? Option 1, the direct approach through the East Entrance over Sylvan Pass. It is beautiful. And if you feel up to it, the hike up Avalanche Peak near the top of the pass is one of the most spectacular views in the park. It is also one of the most demanding hikes, quite steep, over scree. Option 2 -- head north of Cody, through Sunlight Basin over Dead Indian Hill (the retreat of the Nez Perce indians from the Battle of the Bighorn (kinda), to the Bear Tooth Highway (turn right and head to the top, then do a U-turn) through the Cooke City Entrance. It is also beautiful, and the Bear Tooth Highway is one of the most scenic roads in America. You also will then be driving through the Lamar Valley, one of the places in the park with the greatest potential for seeing wolves.
6. You could spend the entire two weeks in Yellowstone. I don't know how much time you are budgeting for YS, but it is vast and if all that you do is drive the grand loop, you will have done it and yourself a disservice. There is a varied ecology in the park, ranging from prairie in the north to the caldera of the world's largest super volcano to the lodge pole pine of the central park to the Madisons on the west edge, the Hayden Valley, and one of the US's largest fresh water lakes. Don't be like 97% of visitors to YS that never get more than 100 yards from their vehicle (according to a NPS survey). Personally, we prefer to stay at the Lake Hotel. It is the oldest hotel in the Park and is absolutely beautiful. You need reservations for dinner. Also, take the short hike to Storm Point just past Fishing Bridge towards the East Entrance preferably around sunset. I'd also suggest the longer, but still pretty manageable hike to Shoshone Lake from Delacy Creek between Grant and Old Faithful. I can also provide suggestions for many more hikes in the park.
7. The Tetons are one of the most beautiful areas in the US. Stay at the Jackson Lake Lodge or the Jenny Lake Lodge. Jenny is incredible, but very expensive -- it does come with breakfast and dinner, as well as horse riding. At a minimum, you must take the shuttle across Jenny Lake and hike toward the mouth of Cascade Canyon to Inspiration Point. It is a small amount of elevation gain, but the view is amazing. Even more amazing views are accessible depending on how much hiking and elevation gain you are willing to endure. I can provide my list of top hikes if you desire.
8. If you really are going to go to Utah (the time and distance here are the issue, not the beauty), then you've got a lot of driving to do. It is 545 miles from Jackson to Bryce -- a full day's drive. And if you are going all the way to Bryce, there is no reason not to go to Zion first -- its only another 40 miles. Drive from Zion to Bryce, then take Utah 12 through Grand Staircase Escalante. Try for some of the wilderness permits to the amazing rock formations in the area. Head up 12, it's an incredible drive through Boulder to Capitol Reef, Goblin State Park, and to Arches National Park. Revel in the amazing geology of the San Joaquin Swell before hitting Green River on your way to Arches.
9. Instead of Pike's Peak, why not head to Aspen? Visit the Maroon Bells. Hike to Crater Lake. Enjoy the fine restaurants in Aspen. Then drive over Independence Pass.
That's at least a month's trip.
Hell's Backbone Grill on scenic route 12 is amazing. Drive's great too. So many different kinds of landscapes.. Hell's is not a diner; it'll cost ya, but worth it in every bite. really cute motel across the street and lots of places to camp.
+++ for Zion
+++ for Custer State Park
Crazy Horse Monument in S. Dakota. the museum is a bit kitchy but the monument is monumental.
Also there is a really sweet wild mustang sanctuary near there. The Black hills are amazing and there is a wildlife loop drive that can be fun but I can't recall which route it is.
The boat tour of the lake in Teton Nat'l. Park is fun and it's nice to get cooled off on the water. Jenny Lake Lodge worth visiting for a drink.

The wildlife loop, if I'm not mistaken, is Custer State Park. The boat tour in Teton, I suspect, is the shuttle across Jenny Lake to the hike up Cascade Canyon. Mom can correct me if I'm out on a limb...
If you're bringing the tents the place to stay in the Tetons is Colter Bay Village. There is a large NPS campground there. If you can't get a spot there go just a few miles north to Lizard Creek Campground for something more rustic. Also, just a mile or so north of Colter Bay is a marina called Leeks Marina, and they have terrific pizza.
In Jackson, if you like craft beer, make sure to stop at the Snake River Brewery. They have good food too, but the beer is very good.
As others have said, you could make the whole trip a trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons and still feel like you were just getting started.
Thanks, everyone, this is a great help. It indeed looks like I need to make some difficult decisions; I sure wish we could spend more time on the trip!

Alejandro Valverde of Spain won the 17th stage of the Tour de France, while Bradley Wiggins mastered a last big test in the mountains to retain the yellow jersey on Thursday. The 89-mile ride from Bagneres-de-Luchon to the ski station of Peyragudes featured three hard climbs and an uphill finish. Valverde, the Movistar team leader who once served a doping ban, won his third Tour stage in a breakaway. Christopher Froome of Britain was second and his Sky team leader Wiggins was third, both 19 seconds back. Wiggins faces one last test - the individual time trial, his specialty - on Saturday. He's trying to become the first Briton to win cycling's biggest race. Flat stages await on Friday and in Sunday's ride to the finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Those stages aren't expected to alter the standings.

Law (Social Justice)
Duration: 3 years
Attendance mode: Full-time
Award: LLB (Hons)
Placement: Placement year not available
Suitable for international students
Faculty of Management & Law
Course search
Our Law (Social Justice) LLB gives you the opportunity to explore the role of law and the ways in which it can have the possibility to change the world, allowing you to focus on how law can deliver social justice.
Professional Accreditation/Recognition
The Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board have accredited the Bradford LLB as a qualifying law degree. This means that, if you successfully complete the assessments and examinations in the seven foundations of legal knowledge and legal skills training, you will be eligible for exemption from the academic stages of training and be able to continue to the postgraduate study and practical-based training stages needed to become a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales.
"One of the greatest experiences for me has been being elected as Law Society president in my second year, as it has helped me grow as an individual and learn from my teachers to gain a good understanding of the real world of a solicitor."
Why Bradford?
During the first two years you will study subjects we consider crucial to your understanding of law, giving you a good grounding in important legal topics, issues and principles. Then in your final year you will specialise in Social Justice, covering topics from the Family Law to Immigration Law.
This is a qualifying law degree accredited by the Professional Bodies, and is therefore your first step into a career as a solicitor or barrister.
We will equip you with all the legal tools and expertise you'll need, as well as help you develop important transferable knowledge and skills; honing your communication, analytical and critical thinking skills.
Our LLB programmes are flexible in structure and share a common first and second year, which gives you the option to switch to a different LLB pathway in the final year. This allows you to take your time to decide on which aspect of law is right for you.
You can also combine your passion for learning and travelling by studying abroad at one of our partner institutions in Europe, Canada, Australia, North America or Hong Kong.
Upon successful completion of the Bradford LLB Law degree, you are able to proceed to the Legal Practice Course (for aspiring solicitors) or the Bar Professional Training Course (for aspiring barristers).
Entry requirements
Typical offer: BBB / 120 UCAS points
New UCAS tariff
We use the UCAS tariff system to help us compare different qualifications. For courses starting from September 2017 onwards, the way points are calculated is changing.
The number of points you get for each qualification and grade will be lower, for example, an A* grade at A level will be worth 56 points from 2017 onwards, instead of 140 in 2016. Despite the lower points, you will still need to achieve the same grades. The only exception to this is that AS Levels will now be worth 40% of an A Level, instead of 50%.
All qualifications that are currently on the UCAS Tariff will continue to attract points under the new system. More qualifications are also being brought into the UCAS tariff system for the first time, including Access to Higher Education courses.
Work out your UCAS tariff points using the UCAS Tariff Calculator (link opens in a new tab).

Tonight on Inquiry we welcome journalist, teacher, screenwriter and story editor BEVERLY GRAY. She talks about the latest edition of her wonderful biography ROGER CORMAN: BLOOD-SUCKING VAMPIRES, FLESH-EATING COCKROACHES AND DRILLER KILLERS. Roger Corman specialized in making films that elevated the exploitation genre, films like Little Shop of Horrors and The Trip. He made them fast and he made them cheaply. Beverly Gray worked for Roger Corman in a number of different jobs and has written an incredible insiders look at this legendary director and producer who in turn worked with luminaries like Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, John Sayles, Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda. Tonight is part one of our conversation and we concentrate on Corman's formative years working for American International Pictures. Shown is a still of Jack Nicholson in Little Shop of Horrors.

abusive he will ignore my existence or
Resolved Question:
My husband is emotionally abusive he will either ignore my existence or show nasty behavior. I was really mad at my 20 year old son today. He said it was not right that I didn't pick up the phone when dad called from the store to see what we need. My son was the one who called him back. I told him it was the right decision for me not to pick up the phone. He thought that the phone call was benign. I said it was manipulating because I feel that my husband tries to look like a supportive caring husband when he otherwise treats me badly. Both of my kids accused me of seeing him always acting with badness with everything he does. It is possible that the phone call was benign but when I get mostly bad treatment, why would I trust it? I told the boys that his behavior towards me is even worse when they are not around. My older boy said he thought that was a good thing that he wasn't treating me as bad in front of him. He also told me that Dad doesn't talk badly about me. However he treats me badly even in front of the kids and although he doesn't talk badly about me he treats me badly. It is facade, and I was very angry at the boys for talking like this. They have knowledge that he doesn't treat me kindly, but the are blinded so many things in my opinion

Hi there, welcome to Just Answer. I will try and help you with your question.
I'm sorry to hear that you had an argument with your son over your husband, it can be hard sometimes for kids to see things objectively as their loyalties lie with the both of you and this can make things very hard for them. Sometimes, like you say, your husband may well be mean or unkind towards you and because they can't see it first hand, they struggle to accept such behavior exists towards you. It may not be that they are brainwashed but it might be that they struggle to take sides and split loyalties makes it hard for them.
You're right in that you do not deserve to be treated with abusive words and hence, not picking up the phone was your best defence but the kids may not see it this way. You have to do the right thing for you and your self worth - this is most important as otherwise you run risk of him hurting you over and over. You have to hold your ground and perhaps the kids will begin to see how hurtful your husband can be towards you. (If they don't already know it). You don't deserve to take abusive behavior and should not tolerate it hence, this seems to have been your way of not accepting it and your way or reaction was to not pick up the phone - which is totally understandable under the circumstances.
I hope this is helping, please do come back to me for further assistance and support if you need it, I'd rather support you as much as possible and receive a positive rating and I'd be more than happy to continue supporting you until you feel satisfied.
If I have answered your question, kindly rate my service positively so I may be credited for my time. If you choose to rate me anything less than positive, please do come back to me and I will clarify further or support your query further. Your question will not close and I will continue to support your question. Bonuses are always appreciated.
Kindest Regards, Karin

Thank you.
the problem is they were defending him.
Theu were either u able or unwilling to see the depths of it.
No my husband doesn't talk bad about me to the kids but he treats me bad in front of them.
is he trying to say that I'm talking bad about his father and that's what makes me the wrong one?
and then my other son age 18 said he doesn't believe dad has a personality disorder as my psychologist suggested.
it felt like they were defending him as the abuser.
replied 3 years ago.
and what about the statement he doesn't talk bad about me. what's the difference since he treat me bad in front of them?when he made that statement I thought he was blinded by dads manipulation. A facade
Karin Samms
replied 3 years ago.
Hi there,
I see what you mean, thank you for the additional information. They probably are to some degree blinded by their dad's manipulative behaviors and this can be frustrating, lonely and difficult for you to deal with.
Treating you badly in front of them is far worse. This potentially is modeling bad behavior to your boys (that its okay to behave this way, when we know it is most certainly not okay). I'm sure your kids are aware that it isn't acceptable but they seem stuck in a place that makes them not accept what's really going on here. (It might just be their way of dealing with it/ or not dealing with it as the situation seems to demonstrate).
The fact is that no matter how you look at this, your husband is disrespectful towards you and that is not okay. You hold your ground, but encourage the kids to try to understand how it feels for you - the way your husband is and how it leaves you feeling. Ask them to imagine if that was their own daughter being treated in this way or a best friends mother- how might they feel if they observed it in another family home..?
Dad's manipulation may be quite strong here but you can only do your best to encourage them to show empathy towards you.
I truly hope that they will one day wake up and see this more objectively for their own sakes.
My very best wishes to you,

I tried as you suggested however he didn't want to hear anything he became very uncomfortable.
Karin Samms
replied 3 years ago.
Hi D,
Your son became uncomfortable? It is not something that will happen instantly, take some time to express your message to the boys. Gradually without them feeling 'cornered' might work better than to address them straight away as your son may be feeling quite defensive right now.
Give it some time D, and hope that they will understand from your perspective.
My best wishes,

Paper Abstract
We present a feedback system where a picture u(t) circulates under successive application of a convolution operation with the kernel h and of a nonlinearity NL: t1(t + 1) = NL((u(t)*h)1) . (1) This system represents a special class of neural networks: it is space invariant. In comparison to space variant neuronal networks it can be implement much easier, for example by Fast Fourier Transform, or even optically. Nevertheless, it exhibits a broad spectrum of behavior: there may be deterministic chaos in space and time, i. e. the system is unpredictable in principle and displays no fixed points, or stable structures may evolve.' Certain convolution kernels may lead to the evolution of stable structures, i. e. fixed points, that look like patterns from nature, for example like crystals or like magnetic domains.' In experiments described in 2 we observed that the stable structures can be disturbed quite heavily and are yet autoassociativly restored during a couple of iteration cycles. Here we show how to adjust the kernel h in order to obtain a certain desired stable state u of eq. 1, and how to apply the system to shift invariant pattern recognition.
