Fuel Pump and PCM
puma1 replied to Shelby GT's topic in Shelby GT500 Modifications and Tech.Shelby GT, I cant tell you how much grief I have been through in the past 3 months......same exact car same exact year and the exact same problems you are having....1st of all check the obvious things like the fuses as you probably know there is a GT500 specific fuse area to check for the fuel pumps and fuel drivers then verify the drivers and fuel pumps are both functioning if everything checks out then the bad news is that it is the PCM.....I didn't believe it either but that WAS my problem,dont be like me and WASTE a lot of money on parts you don't need AND A NEW PCM, a PCM now looks like an inexpensive part if that had been my only expense......I really feel bad for you but once you bite the bullet and everything is back to normal you will get over the loss.By the way there is a lot of pictures and verbage to help you on this website. Best of luck,Michael

Is it worth it? Dublin 3, €149,500
This 1860 property needs a massive makeover, but see beyond the repair work and this is a deceptively large period home with a walled rear garden
What it is: No3 Spencer Street North is a two-bed house in North Strand.
The problems: The agent calls this "a refurbishment opportunity", which is a nice way of saying that this 1860 property needs a massive makeover. A thorough job could cost up to €100,000. This would address the damp problem — when it rains, water spills down the walls — and pay for new wiring, plumbing and a roof, plus redecoration and the installation of a heating system. North Strand, while a stroll from the centre of Dublin, can be a tad too "inner city" for some.
The advantages: This is an executor's sale — hence the reasonable price, which is negotiable. This is best suited to a buyer who is not dependent on…

Mad as hell: Credit card users tell the Fed they're not gonna take it anymore
Guess what? Consumers overwhelmingly hate all these current practices. They think credit card companies should be reigned in. Nearly 20,000 people wrote in on the three parts of the proposal: credit cards, overdrafts and truth in lending rules. Many call for stricter rules and use florid language like "usury."
Also guess what? Banks think the rules are a stupid idea. Bank of America is not just worried about itself, of course. BofA is concerned about the "broad impact on the economy both at the retail level and in highly complex securitization markets, slowing growth and limiting access to financing. To quote Bill Murray: "Dog and cats, living together!"
BusinessWeek's Jessica Silver-Greenberg says that it's the most significant credit card rule change in 20 years. Till now, she writes, regulators were content to simply force banks to clearly disclose their terms (which resulted in those pages of small-type that practically nobody reads). So now regulators and getting around to actually regulating. The comment period ended August 4, (though the comment form is still up).

Nasa's newly-dicsovered planet Kepler 22-b which is about 2.4 times the size of Earth is now the new target for possible life beyond Earth. For one, the planet which lies in the 'Goldilocks zone' is said to have a surface temperature of about 72 degrees or 22 Celsius.
'Goldilocks zone' refers to the habitable zone or the region around a star where temperatures are neither too high nor too low for liquid water to exist.
Astronomers also believe that there's water and land in the new planet though no one is sure yet if the planet is made mostly of rock, gas, or liquid.
The planet is 600 light-years away and orbits a star cooler than the Sun every 290 days.
William Borucki of NASA's Ames Research Center and leader of the team that discovered Kepler 22-b revealed:
"If this planet has surface, it would have a very nice temperature of some 70 degrees Fahrenheit. There's a good chance it could be rocky. We have no planets line this in our own solar system."
Borucki even hinted that it could probably contain huge amounts of compressed ice and may even have a global ocean.
Douglas Hudgins, Kepler program scientist at Nasa Headquarters in Washington, added:
"This is a major milestone on the road to finding Earth's twin. Kepler's results continue to demonstrate the importance of Nasa's science missions, which aim to answer some of the biggest questions about our place in the universe."
So, while we wait, if ever we will get the chance to confirm whether Kepler 22-b can indeed be the next hope for life beyond Earth, why don't we all settle down and take care of what we have now. Otherwise, we earthlings are not even worthy of having a chance on another planet.

1st of May is also a day off in Norway, kind of labor day…but it's also the official opening for the motorbike season : Vårslepp ! When a friend asked me if I wanted to join, I didn't hesitate…I didn't ride my bike for 2 years now (it's still waiting in France!) and I'm always ready to ride ! When I asked for some explanations, he just told me that it's a convoy between Klepp and Stavanger (about 25km). I didn't really know what to expect and I haven't been disappointed !
Of course, after 3 days of an amazing blue sky, it's raining this morning of the 1st may ! I met my friend at his place and we got equipped with rain and warm clothes ! And when one of his friend arrived, we all rode together, direction Klepp.
And when we arrived there, hundreds bikes were already there, waiting. The atmosphere was cool and we enjoyed to take time to look at all the bikes present…damn it, I want to get one ! In Norway, it's not required by a law to wear a reflective yellow vest but lots of bikers wear one…specially when the visibility is not that good (which could happen quite often in this country ^^) .
When time came, all the bikes started the convoy and I have been absolutely amazed to see how many people were standing all along the roads, waving their hands or the norwegian flag ! Even the bridges were full of people waiting for the convoy and happy to salute us. My 2 companions have a special way to wave the guys on the bridge, quite fun ! Even one person gave them back their unusual sign hehe. Lucky me, I was for sure with the 2 funniest guys of the convoy.
Once arriving at the entrance of Stavanger, we all made an half turn and rode back to Klepp (I guess because we turned before, back home). It was such a nice experience, everything is really safe and there is 1 police motorbike at the beginning of the convoy and the rest of the "security" is made by bikers. I was quite surprised to see how many people were there to see us, motorbike seems to have a good reputation in Norway ! Now the season is open, can't wait to ride more

Interesting Tidbit
Every night before bed, Laura says the Lord's prayer and then does blessings for people. Without fail, her blessings start with "Mommy, and Daddy, and Warren, and me." She will add in other people in her life as she thinks about them. The past few nights she has started adding in Helen, Sammy, Sammy's mom, and the other kids at daycare with her. I find two things interesting here.
1. She is not afraid to ask for blessings for herself. In all the years that I have done prayers aloud (mainly group settings), I don't think I have ever heard a person directly pray for blessings for himself. I have heard them ask for blessings and someone else will pray for them. But to be so bold as Laura is and directly ask God to bless her is quite a lesson. Jesus tells us we need to have faith like a child. I feel that Laura is teaching me to what extent this is. Not only do we need to just accept, but we can be bold in our prayers. I also find it interesting that she does not mention herself until after the other members of the immediate family are blessed. She does however, ask for her blessings before she blesses any of the extended family or friends. I don't know if she really has a reasoning for why she does it in this order. I have tried really hard to not force a certain pattern to her blessings. I will guide and ask if there is anyone else, or if she is naming off family members and forgets a few, I will help her with those people that were forgotten. I have never once mentioned that she should or should not bless herself. I also have not ever mentioned an order to her for the blessings.
2. She has just started to add others to her blessings. She has typically kept it to be just family (including grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins). We had asked her a few times if we should bless Pastor John, but she denied that without giving a reason. Then out of the blue a few nights ago, she started adding in Helen, Sammy, and the others. I don't know what prompted this. I don't know what her line of thinking is. It does make me happy that she is starting to think of others outside of her family though.

Ghana is famous for its natural beauty. Ghana is beautifully lit with national parks, dense forests and classical African beaches and castles of colonial era. If you are planning to visit this West African state, then you must not forget to visit the following places.
Accra is the capital of Ghana. Accra is splendid from the very onset. Labadi beach has its highs and lows and a visitor always finds himself in a comfort while he rests back on his heels at this profound beach.
Labadi beach, Accra
This multilayered gallery holds the record of many of the Ghanaian traditions such as famous Kente cloth.
Artists Alliance Gallery, Ghana
A tourist will come across many sites, things and places belonging to the colonial era. The town is historic and a wonderful site.
Lighthouse at Jamestown, Ghana
Portuguese were the ones who first invaded the gold coast. Elmina castle was built by them in sixteenth century to keep a close check on the movement of opponents. It is a site worth watching.
Elmina castle, Ghana
Cape coast is another castle and a remnant of colonial era. The site was used for slave trade. Millions of locals were traded illegally to western countries during dark ages. One can hold his breath while visiting the site. Barak Obama, former President of the United States, visited the site during his visit to Ghana.

A beautiful canopy walkway at Kakum National Park will exonerate a visitor off all tensions and frustrations. The park is a home to hundreds of indigenous and foreign animal species.

New design based on the 'Eruption' theme from Themeforest. We designed this site with the goal of creating a more interactive (social) environment for users when they visit the site.
This template was fantastic because we were able to place testimonials, social icons, twitter feeds, and blog features to the outside of the template, while keeping a content-rich page in the center. I designed this website with simplicity in mind, but also provided a very functional layout that is able to keep up with some of the other 'social' websites on the Internet.

Travis from the States is travelling around New Zealand at the moment and jumped on a Puka trip with myself and Neil. Travis' family jumped on for the morning bait hunt and the kids had plenty of fun catching maccies with Dad.
Then it was out wide where some good sized Hapuku were on the chew
We had some more good trips last week with Bass, Bluenose and solid kingfish also part of the mixed bag.

Éigse Peter Carberry
What most likely be the biggest and best Irish Music celebration to take place in Lanesboro for many a long year will take place on the weekend Friday 12th to Sunday 14th April to remember the late and great Pete Carberry, Derryhaun. We have heard of many great uilleann pipers, but Pete was one of the very best uilleann pipers in Ireland. This is the first ever hosting of the Éigse Peter Carberry weekend and it will give us all the opportunity to celebrate Pete's music, his memory and the legacy that he has left. Glorious Irish music will come to Lanesboro for the weekend and I would encourage everyone to come to Lanesboro, sample the atmosphere and enjoy the very best of Irish music, song, dance and storytelling encompassing people extoling the virtues of Éigse Peter Carberry's motto of, from generation to generation.
The weekend will have its official opening on Friday 12th in St. Mary's Parish Hall at 8pm with the opening address given by Liam Ó Cuinneagáin, Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. This will be followed by a recital by two of Ireland's finest uilleann pipers Neíllidh Mulligan NPU Dublin and Michael Cooney Tipperary. The Ó ghlúin go glúin (from generation to generation) ceremony will involve Méadhbh and Óisín and the opening will close with the Clarke's group and friends.
Saturday 13th morning registration will take place for the following workshops at 9.30am with €20 fee: Piping classes and reed making with Cormac Keegan, Michael Cooney and Donncha Keegan; Whistle with Gerry Bohan, Fiddle with Laura Wall, Accordion with Dan Brouder, Banjo with Angelina Carberry. Classes will take place from 10.30am to 12.30 pm and 2pm to 4pm.
In Lanesboro library opening from 3pm to 4.30 an exhibition on the life and music of Pete Carberry.
On Saturday night a concert that will feature the best musicians in the country will take place in St. Mary Hall featuring an array of talented musicians including noted Piper and CEO of Na Píobairí Uilleann, Gay McKeon who was only delighted to accept his invitation. Uilleann Pipers Cormac and Donncha Keegan and Michael Cooney, the Donlon family featuring Uilleann pipes, whistles, harp and banjo, singer Helen Barry, Noel Sweeney on the flute, Jimmy McLoughlin on the accordion, Gerry Bohan on the flute, the Carberry family with an array of instruments – Uilleann pipes, harp, whistles, fiddle, accordion, banjo, mandola and bodhrán. Fear a' tí will be the very popular Seanachaí Vincent Pierce.
Sunday 14th will open with the Anniversary Mass for Pete in the Church of the Nativity and Blessed Virgin Mary Newtowncashel at 10.30am. Following Mass there will be a recital at Pete's grave in Clonbonny Cemetery. In the afternoon commencing at 2pm and continuing until 6pm there will be a gathering of Uilleann Pipers for what will be an Irish music session to beat all. Don't miss it.
I am sure there will be impromptu sessions popping up throughout in some likely and unlikely places.
Come to Lanesboro for a weekend to remember.

Seeking People to do B& B

The two lads' sons of a former local man are looking for B&B for the 13th/14th September. If you are intending to do B&B for that weekend or have the space to do it could you contact me at the shop, and I will put you in touch.

Michael Malone, Cloonadra died on Friday 22nd March at University College Hospital Galway. Mike as he was most commonly known moved in his childhood years to Cloontuskert and later to his home in Cloonadra with his wife Nuala and where they reared their family. Mike worked with ESB for a number of years before moving on to work at Mickie Flynn's garage. Mike had an incredible interest in cars and was a wonderful source of motoring information on any question. He had an insatiable desire for knowledge and without doubt was more informed than any commentator. Mike was a wonderful and most helpful neighbour and friend – he was renowned for his helpfulness and thoughtfulness. He was meticulous in everything he did. His passing will leave a great void in the hearts and minds of our community and everyone that had the pleasure to know him. The attendance at the reposing of his remains at his residence and again at his Funeral ass and burial bore ample testimony to the esteem in which was held.
Mike's remains reposed at his residence in Cloonadra on Sunday 24th March before being removed to the Church of the Holy Rosary, Ballyleague on Monday. Following his Funeral Mass, he was laid to rest in Cloontuskert Cemetery.
To his wife Nuala, sons Brian, Andrew and David, daughters Patricia, Ruth and Michelle, relatives and many friends we extend our sincere sympathy.
Lough Ree Athletic Club
Following our recent unsuccessful effort to hold an AGM, it was heartening to see the good turnout at last Thursday's AGM. A new committee was elected. There was a great enthusiasm at the meeting to see a successful club and we look forward to seeing all the local children from our catchment area of Lanesboro/Rathcline, Ballyleague/Kilgefin, Cashel, Cloontagh, Killashee and Kenagh coming along to the training sessions at the track. Now that the time has changed outdoor training commenced on Tuesday at 6.30 pm and will continue every Tuesday at the same time. Registration will take place at training. With the season starting with the Under 9 to Under 11 Indoor Competition at AIT Athlone on Saturday 4th May it is important that all our young boys and girls are making full use of the training sessions in the lead up.
We believe the date for the local Community Games Track and Field competition is also early this year.

Revisiting Nurse Donlon

Team: Sam Glennon, Ronan Cox, Cormac O'Dowd, Jack Casey, Josh Crawford, Joey Trimble, Christov, Christian Donlon, Luke Cullen, Euan Cullen, Eoin Cox.
An under strength under 11 team found the going tough against a strong Killoe Lions team, particularly in the first half. However, they improved greatly in the second period and were more than a match for their opponents. The Lions emerged as worthy winners while Eoin O'Brien scored a consolation goal for the home team. Team: Callum Farrell, Eoin Beattie, Aidan Kelly, Mikie Sorohan, Ethan Slattery, Billy Murray, Eoin O'Brien. Sub: Patrick Gilmore.

Lapdancing to Prosperity: Strip Clubs Fuel Ad Revenue Increase
Billboard provider Lamar Advertising (LAMR) posted a sales increase for the first time in two years, boosted in part by revenue from strip clubs. I'm not saying that Lamar's entire net revenue increase of 4.2 percent to $286.4 million for Q2 2010 came entirely from gentlemen's clubs, of course. But you don't have to drive very far in America to realize that one of the non-seasonal small-business sectors that most consistently utilizes outdoor billboards of the type that Lamar provides is lap-dancing bars.
The fact that Lamar is showing a sales increase speaks to a broad recovery across a wide range of business sectors: Clients that need billboard services run the gamut. And speaking of broads ...
Lamar frequently shows up in the local news for its gloriously contradictory policies on whose ads it will take and whose it won't, thanks to its structure of regional managers who make their own judgments about whose business they'll take. The company recently annoyed a church in Birmingham, Ala., when it put up three ads for The Palace and Club Volcano. The ads will be moved:
"That's not our policy of putting that in front of churches and schools," said Jeff Handley, Lamar's sales manager. "We're in the process of moving it now."Lamar also supplies advertising for Fully Xposed, "the busiest bar in L.A.!" in California, among others.
Here's a rough running summary of the controversial clients Lamar will and won't take:
- Yes to strip clubs
- Yes to marijuana sellers
- Yes to hookers
- No to puppet cleavage
- No to gays
- No to atheists
- No to healthcare reform advocates
- No to Obama "birthers"
- No to critics of Israel
- Inside the Billboard Biz: Puppet Cleavage is a No-No, But Hookers and Pot Dealers Are Just Fine
- How Not to Advertise Medical Marijuana

A Phenomenological Study of the Experience of Respondents in Campus-Based Restorative Justice Programs
Meagher, Peter J.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Bowling Green State University
The focus of this dissertation was the use of restorative justice practices in the collegiate setting. Some have expressed concern with the legal nature of campus conduct processes. Restorative practices have been implemented in criminal justice and K-12 settings and are seen by some as an antidote to overly legalistic campus conduct processes. Because there has been little research on restorative justice practices on college campuses, this study was exploratory in nature. The primary research question addressed in this study was, what was the experience of respondents in campus restorative justice processes? The findings included the experience of the respondents in the restorative session as well as the experience of completing the restorative agreement. Participants were recruited from three campus programs housed at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State University, and the University of Michigan. Using a semistructured interview format, 16 respondents who had participated in campus restorative justice processes were interviewed at their home campuses. The participants represented a spectrum of students that varied by age, gender, ethnicity, year-in-school, and type of violation. The three major categories of themes that arose from the interviews included mediating factors, restorative sessions, and outcomes. Mediating factors--those issues, experiences, emotions, and orientations that the participants brought with them to the restorative justice process--colored, sometimes profoundly, participants' experiences in their sessions. The restorative sessions themselves were generally respectful, supportive, and engaging and seemed to help respondents understand how their actions impacted others. Factors such as social class, age, and the absence of harmed parties in the restorative session impacted the experience of the respondents both positively and negatively. The participants expressed changing in substantive and, at times, profound ways. These changes involved how they viewed themselves in relation to others, particularly in reference to the precipitating incident; how they viewed the resolution of the incident; what they learned from the process; and how they have incorporated this learning into their everyday behavior. Implications for future research and practice are presented. Attention is focused on such issues as staff training, multicultural competence, and the importance of restorative sanctions. A model of how restorative justice works in the collegiate environment is also presented as well as potential limitations of the approach and impact on student development. The findings in this study are promising for the practice of restorative justice on the college campus and should lay the groundwork for its future study.

Neurofeedback, PTSD and its impact on Refugee Youth's Academic Achievement
The rampant worldwide refugee crisis is implicitly asking the clinical and therapeutic communities to find effective ways to deal with newly resettled people's trauma and often consequent PTSD symptoms. The experience of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder can have a detrimental impact on a person's wellbeing and their effectiveness in society. This is particularly true of refugee youth, who not only have had to deal with layers of traumatic experience, but also may struggle with integrating into a new school system, and may have difficulty achieving academically. Research has shown that academic achievement is impacted by PTSD in the general population, and it is particularly true for refugee population, although studies are still scarce, new and forthcoming.
Refugees and PTSD
There is evidence that trauma and PTSD experienced in children of elementary school age (6-10) has distinct impact on the child's academic achievement (Kira, I., Lewandowski, L., Somers, C. L., Yoon, J. S., & Chiodo, L. 2012). Refugee children experience a variety of traumas, which, in turn, impacts their school performance. Some of the symptoms experienced are decreased attention, decreased memory, hyperarousal, and avoidance (Kira, I., Lewandowski, L., Somers, C. L., Yoon, J. S., & Chiodo, L. 2012). Mental health intervention is needed to treat the symptoms and the root cause (i.e. trauma) of their distress that is impacting academic performance. The traumatic conditions that refugees are exposed to can have impacts lasting beyond the immediateness of the trauma: their effect can bleed into the life of a resettled refugee.
Therefore, it is important to explore the link between Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the refugee condition (Kirmayer et al., 2011; Young & Chan, 2015).
Life as a refugee can take a tremendous toll on a human being's health, and its consequences can have detrimental, long-lasting effects. Refugees are exposed to extremely stressful events during the multiple stages of migration (Kirmayer et al., 2011; Teodorescu et al., 2012; Young & Chan, 2015). Beyond the trauma of experiencing war, and witnessing the deaths of neighbors and loved ones, refugees are ulteriorly stressed during their time spent on refugee camps, which are often overcrowded with people and have scarce supplies of water and food. It's been reported that many women and children experience sexual abuse during their time in the camps (Young & Chan, 2015). In In addition, refugees seeking safety in a non-native country are often discriminated against and do not have access to legal counsel or interpreters (Kirmayer et al., 2011).
Research conducted on a large scale, looking at over 64,000 refugees from 40 different countries, has shown that up to 30% will likely show signs of PTSD (Steel et al., 2009). Refugees, who have experienced these traumatic events and exhibit PTSD are more likely to have poor adjustment and severe impacts on emotional well-being (Kirmayer et al., 2011; Young & Chan, 2015). It is important to notice that, although the burden of trauma has a deleterious effect on the refugees' well being, one study has found that social support is the most important predictor of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) to occur (Calhoun & Tedeschi, 2014; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). Support can take many forms, including family, friends, and community elationships (Hasson-Ohayon et al., 2016; Prati & Pietrantoni, 2009). PTSD can have lasting impacts on a refugee's ability to function and thrive in society long after migration.
Academic Achievement
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Numerous studies have drawn a link between the trauma, violence and abuse and their negative impact in altering emotion, cognition and behavior (Cook, Blaustein, Spinazzola, van der Kolk, 2003; De Bellis, Hooper, Spratt, & Woolley, 2009), which in turn has an impact of the traumatized person's ability to learn effectively and perform academically(Pechtel & Pizzagalli, 2011; Pinson, Arnot, & Candappa, 2010; Wilson, Hansen, & Li, 2011). In children, studies have demonstrated a link between early traumatic experience and negative impact on "memory, attention, executive skills, and abstract reasoning"(Beers & De Bellis, 2002; Pynoos, Steinberg, & Wraith, 1995; Toth & Cicchetti, 1998). Additionally, evidence that has shown that witnessing or suffering through community violence has direct negative effect on academics, overall functioning, reading and grade point average (GPA) (Delaney-Black et al., 2002; Janosz et al., 2008). The correlation between community violence and poor academic achievement is shown in high psychological stress (Schwartz & Gorman, 2003) and problems with concentration (Pynoos & Nader, 1988).
Consequent symptoms as a result of exposure to trauma are depression, anxiety and PTSD which have an decreasing impact on the children's ability to focus and concentrate on their academic pursuits (Beers & De Bellis, 2002; Eth & Pynoos, 1985; Rousseau, Drapeau, & Corin, 1996), and even on their ability to acquire new skills, information and could have direct adverse effects on both the acquisition of new information and cognitive skills, and achievement (Streeck-Fischer & van der Kolk, 2000).
Refugees and school struggles
Refugees are unwilling hosts of a series of barriers to their learning potential, such as needing to interrupt their studies or not being able to attend school because of incessant war (Blommaert, 2009; Brown et al., 2006). Once the refugee child has been able to find relative safety in a camp settlement, they are often educated in temporary schooling environments with varying degrees of quality, attention, consistency and they are often taught in a diverse variety of languages differing from their own (Brown et al., 2006). A refugee child's ability to learn effectively and achieve academically is ulteriorly impacted by the fact that their culture of provenience may have been oral instead of written, so they may display no academic writing ability, or no writing ability at all (Burgoyne & Hull, 2007). In addition, refugee coming from minority cultures may have had their language and culture oppressed and subdued (Nykiel-Herbert, 2010; Roy & Roxas, 2011). As discussed earlier, the refugee experience is often highly traumatic, and for a refugee child who may not understand the new language, may be illiterate, or may not understand the new country's testing procedures, it is additionally difficult to adequately perform well in the academic environment (Ostrosky-Solis & Lozano, 2006).
There is currently not a lot of research on the impact of educational programs on the refugees scholastic performance and its outcome; most studies tend to center on the youth's academic trails and their traumas (Taylor & Sidhu, 2011).
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback which utilises a technology to measure brainwave patterns to retrain the brain to function correctly. This brain training is implemented by using either video or sound stimuli that reward the participant when their brainwave patterns act in accordance to the chosen intervention protocol. The EEG machine will track the participant's brainwaves, send a feedback and, for instance, make a sound when the participant's brain follow the chosen healing protocol. Amongst the most used types of neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, are Electroencephalography (EEG) and Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) (Nilsson, R., & Nilsson, V., 2014).
Studies have shown that Neurofeedback has helped people experiencing PTSD symptoms in learning self-regulatory skills, normalize their EEG exertion and helping them focus and concentrate better (Van der Kolk BA, Hodgdon H, Gapen M, Musicaro R, Suvak MK, Hamlin E, et al., 2016). Self regulation is a central skill for people to learn for people who have suffered from PTSD; by learning to manage one's arousal, PTSD symptoms are highly decreased (Frewen P. A., Dozois D. J., Neufeld R. W., & Lanius R. A., 2012) Additionally, self regulation has shown to greatly diminish suicidal, self-harming and propensities, decrease illicit substance abuse and enhance the effectiveness of exposure therapy (Cloitre M., Stolbach B., Herman J.L., van der Kolk B., Pynoos R., Wang J. et al., 2009)
In their experiment using Neurofeedback (NF) on PTSD sufferers, Van Der Kolk, Hodgdon and colleagues found that NF intervention had much greater efficacy in diminishing symptoms in patients who had not been affected by undergoing six-months of psychotherapy focused on their trauma (2016). These same participants also showed marked improvements in their self regulatory skills, the ability to engage in activity to release stress and a recreation of a stronger sense of identity. Another important finding was that NF does not require the participant to relieve the horrific memories, but it affects the brain on a neural level by being a noninvasive, self-regulating procedure (Van der Kolk BA, Hodgdon H, Gapen M, Musicaro R, Suvak MK, Hamlin E, et al., 2016).
Academic Achievement and Attention
Studies have shown that the application of neurofeedback therapy on non-native english speakers can advance those who suffer from attention deficit, poor working memory and executive functioning (Shin, M., Jeon, H., Kim, M., Hwang, T., Oh, S. J., Hwangbo, M., & Kim, K. J. , 2015). For those who suffer from ADHD, beta brainwaves, fast waves which are present during waking consciousness and employed during focused tasks, are hypo-functioning, while theta waves, available to us during deep meditation or sleeping consciousness, are hyperactive. One study featuring an eight-year old boy with persistent symptoms of ADHD, a total twelve-session Neurofeedback LORETA intervention succeeded in positively transforming his symptoms across the board, and accelerating his school grades and performance (Koberda, J., Koberda, P., Moses, A., Winslow, J., Bienkiewicz, A., & Koberda, L. 2014). Another study featuring thirty-two participants with ADHD, showed improvement of academic scores, memory retention and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) (Fox, D. J., Tharp, D. F., & Fox, L. C. (2005).
Areas of further research
Further research must be conducted on the intersection of refugee trauma, PTSD symptoms and academic scores in their new country of residence. The ongoing refugee crisis has placed multiple English-speaking countries in the position of welcoming thousands of youth to their schools. Many young refugee carry with them a diversity of culture, languages and an unfortunate legacy of traumatic symptoms. Further research would seek to isolate with specificity which variables are causing lower academic performance, and specifically test to isolate trauma and/or PTSD symptomatology as potential source for their academic gap.
Neurofeedback research with refugees, and how it application specifically impacts academic performance after targeting PTSD and ADHD-like symptoms is nearly non-existent. As we have seen, there appears to be a link between the traumatic refugee experience, how trauma impacts the brain and nervous systems in the general population, and how these ones perform in a school environment. It appears that Neurofeedback treatment is currently a viable, noninvasive, culturally non discriminant tool to efficiently reduce PTSD and ADHD symptoms, both of which impact academic performance. A potential drawback to the wide diffusion of this therapy is its cost and its considerable time requirement (Ellison, K., 2010). However, due to quick advances in technology, we might see the use of this effective therapy increasing in coming years.

text: Domestic violence impacts at least one in five Iraqi women and the chances that this trend will change any time soon are slim. Current efforts to reverse abusive laws that permit men to "discipline" their wives have gained little traction with Iraqi politicians. Experts believe the domestic abuse of women has surged since the U.S. and allies first invaded Iraq in 2003. Iraq was recently given a $17.1 million grant by the United Nations to share with 33 other countries to put toward programs that aim to end the abuse of women. But despite the funding for shelters and counseling, very few Iraqi women report their abuse to the police, for fear of retaliation from their families. As one abused Iraqi woman described to the Associated Press, "the threat she faces from her own family, who feel shame because of her divorce, is just as bad as the abuse."
