Ordinarily, when discussing the diagnosis of brain tumors, one passes in review more or less completely the whole gamut of diagnostic signs and symptoms. But in this paper I propose to select only one small part of the nervous system—the eyes—and try to show how it may be possible to localize a lesion in almost any part of the brain if the study of this part be sufficiently thorough.
The eyes should be studied from five angles:
I. Ocular palsies.
II. Ocular movements.
III. Visual defects.
IV. Ophthalmoscopic changes.
V. Subjective visual disturbances.
I. Ocular Palsies. The nerve most frequently

If someone buys a fishing license today, does it expire on March 31, or is it good for another year?
prop-buster - You are right, I checked into it. The reason I wasn't sure is because you don't actually get a sticker with the Patrons license. You just get essentially a coupon to turn in for the sticker when you go to one of the parks. I assumed its the same sticker everyone would get, but I see its supposed to be good for the same period as the license is.
One thing to keep in mind with your Patron's license is no matter if the vehicle has a park sticker or is even yours you can get a pass for the length of time camping or whatever in said park. Yes the Patron's park sticker expires March 31 not sure on the annual stickers.
lakeshiner I think you are wrong on the State Park sticker...my son in law gets a Patron license and he tells me the expiration date is on the sticker (31st)....I like the license expiration the 31st because it is my birthday so I remember it....yes it is all about me.
one interesting thing I found out after changing vehicles...didn't bother scraping off any stickers because I was gonna get new ones anyway...it all worked out except one...(happens to be Adam's County but there may be more)...theirs go from April to April...so the new one I bought will not go into affect until April 1st...didn't get the old one off to cover it...oh well, live and learn....
As soon as they start selling 2020 fishing licenses, vs 2019's the license is good until March 31st of the following year. So if you buy one now it's a 2020 fishing license, not a 2019. Personally I wish they'd go back to January 1st to December 31st...was much easier to remember, but there were many that complained because that was in the middle of the ice fishing season and they'd forget to buy a new license, or something like that. Wish boat launch passes were that way as well, at least in my area they're until March 31st of the next year. State Park stickers are still January 1st to December 31st. Make it universal!

I think lighting candles are important and I do hope that Safestart lights a thousand more candles. Upon the lighting of the tenth, I found myself in the middle of REAL family event.
I know I live in Arizona, and I know I travel all the time, and well, I only go to Canada really only 2-3 times a year. This time was the most incredible.
I laughed, cried, hollered, partied, slept, but most of all, the one emotion that I wish could be canned is the way I felt like I belonged. I thought it was mostly hypnotic because everyone was giddy. I don't think the liquor had anything to do with it either, well wait! This is Electrolab! Ha....just kidding, but really, if you weren't drunk, you knew what the feeling was especially if you work for or around Electrolab. To the folks at Electrolab! You are truly remarkable. I hope the ship sets sail forever and you all are around to light many candles and celebrate many birthdays. Because, Barb said it best, you are preventing 5,000,000 injuries each year! Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

1 pear, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the crepes:
6 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter (for cooking the crepes)

1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon zest from 2 lemons
Lemon juice from 1 lemon
with the apples, pears, walnuts and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Refrigerate to chill briefly.
To prepare the crepe batter, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in one bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs very well until the whites and yolks are well combined, then add the water, and milk. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well until a batter is formed. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
To prepare the cheese filling mix all ingredients together in a bowl and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
To make the blintzes crepes, heat a 12-inch non-stick on medium heat. Place 1/4 tablespoon of butter in the pan and melt until just foamy, about 15 seconds. Add 3/4 cup of batter directly into the pan. Swirl the pan around so the crepe batter is spread evenly in a circle in the pan. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the bottom of the crepe is golden brown and the middle of the side facing up is set. Do not flip!
Lay one crepe down on a flat surface. Place 1/4 cup of the Tre Stelle cheese filling in the middle. Fold one edge over the other side, then fold the sides to enclose the filling, then roll it to close the blintz. Repeat for remaining crepes. In a pan over medium heat, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter until just foamy. Place the blintzes, with the folded edge down in the pan until just brown and slightly crispy.
To serve, warm the fruit-nut mixture for a few minutes in a skillet then spoon over the blintzes

Light of Hope (E-Book)
About the Author
In 2001 at age forty-five, Gurdip Hari semi-retired from business to carry on the humanitarian work of his
father, Mr. Sukhdev Hari (1928-2000). Although inexperienced, he was divinely guided to write inspirational
poetry and articles, which he began to email to an ever-increasing list. In 2002, he decided to share the inflow
of spiritual knowledge coming his way with the entire world through his website, Humanityandlove.com, and
he continues that work with regular postings of new articles to the site.
He never dreamed of being a poet, author or a healer, but now he finds his time occupied with writing to
promote love, happiness and good health, and to discover the invisible powers God has gifted humanity with
to heal, cleanse and unite our world. As he rightly says, " We are here for a purpose, to accomplish the
mission assigned to us by our Father in Heaven, and each of us has to do that in our own individual and
unique ways by leading a purpose-driven life and making optimum use of our God given talents."
He is also an Inspirational speaker and Reiki Teacher, and it is his dream to build 'Creative Schools' in Africa.
He is available in USA/Canada

13 comments on "Patra 094"
donna witmer
Morning rituals for me include contemplative time at my desk. Recently, I moved Patra 094 to a solo position on the shelf of my desk, near the window – a transitional space between inside & outside. The vessel is in visual dialogue with these seemingly separate spaces and as I sit here working with the daily details of life – the mundane, the inspired, the required details – I find the presence of this vessel informs my process. The concept that there is enough for the day…the cycles of giving & receiving…the myriad of ways we experience emptiness & fullness…these are intrinsic to the work of the day. Last week I was writing some thoughts on a rather significant decision that I am in the process of making. I was writing lists & diagrams & struggling with overwhelming details – pages of them – then, after gazing into the glowing golden belly of the vessel, I simply wrote:
hold this question
in your empty hands
an awkward fledgling
in a moment between
and flight
with deep gratitude…
Donna Stjerna
Greetings Donna,
I was touched by the round spheres in your bowl! Natural round stones are hard to come by. My husband and I have the Ozark Ball Museum with over 2,000 spheres from our travels and we most treasure NATURALLY formed balls and balls with STORIES. These have BOTH! I will be honored to receive bowl #26 on New Years Eve and if you are willing and able, I would adore having one of those small balls to place in my bowl to connect #94 with #26 and then it would become a permanent part of our museum to share with people about the Patra Passage!

As the largest California wildfire ever recorded continued to devour bone-dry brush in the northern portion of the state, firefighters lending a hand from Utah came across a desperate sight: a German shepherd hunkered down under a tree.
Days later, the "stunning" dog is in much more comfortable confines. He has been adopted by one of the firefighters who found him, according to the Mendocino County Animal Shelter.
After making the discovery while battling the Mendocino Complex Fire, firefighters from the Draper Fire Department befriended the pup and aptly named him Mendo, according to the shelter. He was treated at the Mendocino Animal Hospital and later taken to a shelter in Ukiah.
From the get-go, a Draper firefighter by the name of Patrick wanted to adopt Mendo if his owner didn't come around to retrieve him, according to the Mendocino County Animal Shelter.
After being neutered and determined to be in good health, Mendo was transported on Saturday to Reno, Nevada, where he was reunited with his firefighter friend and new owner.
Mendo's arrival likely brings some curative powers to Patrick and the firefighters he works with. The Draper Fire Department lost one of their own, Battallion Chief Matthew Burchett, when he was struck by falling tree debris while fighting the Mendocino Compex Fire.
"We know Mendo will help them heal," the Mendocino County Animal Shelter wrote on Facebook.

EAST HAMPTON -- Three women were taken to the hospital Tuesday after they were attacked by a bobcat in Colchester.
According to DEEP, around 11:44 a.m. the bobcat jumped at one of the women in a greenhouse on Waterhole Road. The greenhouse is on the property of The Caring Community, a social service provider.
When the bobcat jumped on one woman, the other two were scratched while coming to her assistance, said DEEP spokesman Dennis Schain.
The women were taken to the Marlborough Medical Center for evaluation and treatment, he said.
Local police, DEEP, and Environmental Conservation (EnCon) Police responded to the scene.
"The animal had already moved off into a wooded area adjacent to the property," said Donald Lee, Colchester Deputy Fire Chief. "While we were there, the animal became aggressive and actually paralleled myself and the officer, turned and started to come toward us, growling and showing its teeth."
They shot and killed the bobcat.
The bobcat was taken to the state Department of Health lab to test it for rabies, Schain said.
"I don't see bobcats that often, but I did see one a couple weeks ago come through the backyard," said neighbor Jim Klemyk. "Maybe a couple months ago, my neighbor spotted one up on the ledge. Not too often, though."
Wildlife authorities say it is rare for bobcats to attack humans and most often rabies is the cause of that. The bobcat is the only wild cat found in Connecticut and the most common wild cat in North America, according to DEEP.
"In Connecticut, I can recall only a handful of cases in 20 to 30 years, so it's very rare," said Wildlife Biologist Paul Rego.
The DEEP records bobcat sightings and also documents the number of bobcats hit and killed on state roads. Bobcat sightings can be reported to the Wildlife Division at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 860-424-3011.
State Police first reported the attack happened in East Hampton.

Every year, thousands of individuals plan and fund funerals in advance with the help of trusted funeral service providers. Their reasons for doing so vary, but include eliminating emotional and financial burdens from loved ones and the desire to make thoughtful, informed decisions about how they want to be remembered.
Completing the paperwork isn't the end of an advance funeral planning experience, however. These next steps can open the lines of communication between family members, keep your plans up to date and help others experience the benefits of prearranging.
Keep family members informed of your plans.
Advance funeral planning is a gift to your loved ones, but this gift shouldn't come as a surprise to them. It's important to make sure they know the key details of your funeral plans, including the contact information for the funeral home where you made the arrangements. Although it may be uncomfortable at first, a conversation about funeral planning is one that can make things easier for everyone in the future.
Ask about grief support resources.
Advance funeral planning is certainly a positive experience and might have even brought you joy as you reflected on the people and experiences that really matter in your life. But it's also possible to experience grief when considering your own final wishes and remembering loved ones who have died. Many funeral homes offer grief support resources and programs – don't hesitate to contact your funeral service provider for information about services in your area.
Periodically review your information.
It's a good idea to periodically review your funeral plan to make sure the information is up-to-date and reflects your preferences. Your funeral service professional can help explain your options if you'd like to make changes and can also help update your contact details and family information as needed. Be sure to discuss any changes in your plans with family members, too.
Share your experiences.
Individuals who choose to plan a funeral in advance demonstrate very high satisfaction with prearranging. In fact, 96% of respondents to a 2015 Homesteaders policy owner survey were "completely" or "very" satisfied with their decision. Nearly all (96%) of the respondents indicated they would at least consider recommending advance funeral planning, and more than 40% of them already had within a few weeks of prearranging!

Raytheon UK salutes the Royal Air Force with sponsorship support of RAF100 programmes
posted on Mar 26, 2018
LONDON, (March 26, 2018) – The Royal Air Force's celebration of its 100th anniversary – RAF100 – will be proudly supported by Raytheon UK as the primary sponsor of the 2018 RAF Engineering Challenge, and as the technical sponsor of the RAF100 Baton Relay. Both programmes are aligned with Raytheon's role in supporting the RAF in defence of the nation and its allies.
The Engineering Challenge is designed to generate interest in the RAF and inspire young people to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and maths, collectively known as STEM. The Baton Relay will commemorate 100 years of the RAF by transporting the baton to 100 locations in the United Kingdom and around the globe with current or historical RAF connections. The baton will stop at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, where Raytheon UK supports the Sentinel aircraft, and Broughton, North Wales, where the company performs systems integration work for the Airborne Stand-Off Reconnaissance, or ASTOR, programme.
Raytheon UK has also made a financial contribution to the RAF100 Appeal, a joint venture between the Royal Air Force and four major RAF charities.
"Many of Raytheon's 1,600 employees in the U.K. work right alongside the RAF every day to support and maintain their aircraft and weapons systems," said Richard Daniel, Raytheon UK chief executive and managing director. "Sponsoring these two important events is just part of Raytheon's overall support of the RAF on its 100th birthday."
Raytheon's relationship with the RAF dates back to the late 1930s when the A.C. Cossor Company, acquired by Raytheon in 1961, developed the radar receiver for the Chain Home defence system and its associated radio communications network, which subsequently provided invaluable support to the RAF's out-numbered pilots during the Battle of Britain.
Today, Raytheon continues to support the U.K. armed forces with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, such as Sentinel and Shadow, and weapons systems carried by the RAF's Tornado, Typhoon and F-35 aircraft.
"Raytheon has a long and distinguished history of supporting the Royal Air Force," said RAF Air Commodore Richard Barrow, head of the Air Staff. "We value our relationship with Raytheon as an industry partner and are grateful for the company's partnership on RAF100."

Republic of Macedonia Country Report
Executive Summary
Operational Outlook
Despite a number of initiatives, North Macedonia's bureaucracy remains complex and inefficient. Corruption in the public administration and judiciary is likely to remain an obstacle for businesses. Labour legislation favours employers. Strikes usually affect individual companies and are unlikely to spread across sectors. Major cargo disruption due to industrial action in the transport sector is unlikely. Despite increases in large-scale investment programmes, the transport infrastructure is still relatively underdeveloped. International funding has a significant role in financing infrastructural projects. The country is likely to continue receiving EU funds for transport infrastructure projects.
The risk of low-level terrorist attacks by ethnic Albanian militants in northern and western parts of North Macedonia has reduced. Government and police buildings and personnel have previously been key targets. Provided that there were reports that returnee fighters from the ranks of the Islamic State in Syria in Iraq are present around Skopje, the risk of an attack by a lone actor exists. On the other hand, the likelihood of well-planned Jihadist attacks to be conducted in the country is still low. Law enforcement and intelligence capacity to tackle terrorist activities in the case of returnees is still limited, but is likely to see improvements.
North Macedonia, formerly known as FYR Macedonia, is on the Balkan heroin route that moves narcotics from Turkey into Bulgaria, through North Macedonia and onwards into Kosovo, from where it continues by land into Western Europe, or from the Albanian coast to Italy by speedboat. This lucrative business, together with a flourishing trade in human trafficking and smuggling (for illegal immigration and prostitution), stolen cars, and cigarette and weapons smuggling, is a direct threat to the North Macedonian state. Groups such as the Albanian National Army (AKSh), a pan-Albanian radical paramilitary group, are funded from the proceeds of cross-border criminal activity and are often quasi-criminal in nature.
War Risks
Health Risk
Vaccinations required to enter the country
No vaccinations are required to enter the country.
Routine Vaccinations
Hepatitis A: A vaccine is available for anyone over one year of age. The vaccine may not be effective for certain people, e.g. those born before 1945 and who lived as a child in a developing country and/or have a past history of jaundice (icterus). These people can instead get a shot of immune globulin (IG) to boost their immunity against the disease.
Hepatitis B: A vaccine is available for children at least two months old.
Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio: A booster shot should be administered if necessary (once every ten years).
Other Vaccinations
Typhoid Fever: If your travels take you to regions with poor sanitary conditions (for children two years old and up).
Rabies: For prolonged stays in an isolated region (for children from when they can walk).
Tick-Borne Encephalitis: For stays in rural zones and for hiking enthusiasts (for children over the age of one).
For Children: All standard childhood immunizations should be up-to-date. In the case of a long stay, the BCG vaccine is recommended for children over one month and the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine for children over nine months.
Natural Risks
It should be noted that Macedonia is situated in an active seismic zone and is prone to earthquakes. Forest fires frequently occur in the summer. Flooding can also occur.
Driving conditions in Macedonia are relatively precarious as not only is reckless driving common, but roads are frequently uneven and poorly lit, especially in rural areas. Furthermore, the majority of roads in mountainous regions of the country do not have guardrails, despite the presence of sharp drops; in winter, snow and ice exacerbate these hazardous driving conditions.
Travelers are advised against using public transportation, which is aging and overcrowded.
Both adverse weather conditions and high levels of pollution may cause flight delays or cancelations during winter (see HEALTH section).
Practical Information
Macedonia has several different climates, Mediterranean, continental, or mountainous, depending on the region. Temperatures range greatly between winter and summer.
In the mountains, summers and falls are hot and dry while winters are cold (0°C) and snowy. The valley regions enjoy a milder climate.

Gemstone Enhancement Guide - Information on Gemstone Treatment
First ... it is important to note that ...
It is perfectly OK to enhance the appearance of
Humans do this stuff all the time. We put spices and food coloring
into our food to make it taste or just look better. We dress up
lots of things we own to improve the way they look ... adding studs
or patches to clothes, a rhinestone encrusted case for a phone,
adding cool stuff to cars ... we even do it to ourselves. Everybody
gets tattoos. And uses haircolor. Women wear makeup.
OK maybe you don't tell your date about all your cosmetic surgery.
At least not right away. But gems are different. Buyers need to
know what they're purchasing. This really is important.
This is called disclosure. When someone is going to buy a
they should be told it was enhanced. There is nothing wrong with
selling heated sapphires ... as long as the customer knows.
All stones used in our jewelry are naturally mined gems unless specified in the description.
The letter codes below indicate whether
they are known to have been enhanced.
You will see these letter codes used on our site when gemstones are offered.
If not, then we state right in the description if a stone is natural or enhanced.
N - Natural stone and color. Untreated in any way.
H - Heated to permanently intensify or change the natural color of a gem.
As an example, virtually ALL
carnelian, citrine, ruby, and sapphires
used in widely available, commercial quality jewelry are heat treated gems -
naturally colored stones are extremely rare and expensive.
R - Irradiated to intensify or change
color. A good example of this
treatment is London Blue, Swiss Blue and other deep shades of
Blue Topaz. These are extremely rare natural colors for topaz. Virtually all
deep blue color topaz is naturally a very slight blue to clear gemstone
which is irradiated and then heat treated to create the blue color.
A - Assembled from what may be a
combination of natural and
created materials. A good example of this treatment is Baltic Amber,
most of which is heated and pressed to form large pieces. This amber
occurs naturally as very small droplets floating on water. It is recovered,
and the droplets are fused together with heat. Another example of an
assembled gemstone is an opal triplet, which is a thin slice of genuine or
created opal (or a mosaic of opal pieces) sandwiched between a dark colored base
(usually potch, or common opal) and a clear cap or top (usually crystal quartz).
D - Permanently dyed - Examples include
many varieties of agate, virtually all
black onyx, most rose quartz and inexpensive (chalk) turquoise.
S - Synthetic - A man made gem with the
same appearance and
physical characteristics as a natural gemstone. Examples of synthetic gems are
Gilson® opal, Moissanite, lab grown emeralds, rubies and sapphires and virtually all hematite.
O - Oiled - Wax, oil or resin may be used
to fill small pits, cracks and cavities
on the surface of a stone. This treatment is commonly used on emeralds.
Other treatments of commercial quality stones for jewelry are:
Reconstituted - Powdered gemstone
material is mixed with a coloring agent to improve the color and an
epoxy type binder. This mixture is molded to form large pieces which are then cut into cabochons or beads.
Examples include reconstituted lapis lazuli, coral and turquoise.
Stabilized - This treatment is done to improve the surface durability of soft stones, and is primarily used on turquoise. A clear layer of liquid acrylic is applied to the surface. This seals the stone and helps to protect it from damage.
Chemical Diffusion - This is the addition of a chemical to the surface of a gemstone under extreme heat to produce an intensification or a change in the color of a gemstone. The chemical actually diffuses into the surface of the stone, combining with the existing mineral - which produces a color change. Many of the intense orange colored Padparadscha sapphires currently being produced in Thailand are enhanced this way.
These treatments are widely used and are accepted, common practices in the jewelry industry.
Consumers have the right to be informed of any treatment used on gems in the jewelry they purchase.
We will prominently disclose any known treatment used on the gemstones used in the jewelry we sell.

Chapter 2 of Alice Grove began with Comic 36 on February 9th 2015 and concluded on June 11th 2015 with Comic 70, a double-size comic. It continues on from Chapter 1 after a real-world break of one week and an accompanying in-story timeskip of multiple weeks, after which Ardent and Gavia are seen to be staying with Alice and helping out with various chores.
In this Chapter, Gavia and Ardent discover some more of the Habitat's wildlife, and Alice explains about her own history, and that of the world.
Main CharactersEdit
Minor CharactersEdit
- Main Article: Minor characters
- Jebediah ("Jeb")
- Shelley Wilson
- "Clem"
- Amos
Ardent and Gavia have been stranded in the habitat for several weeks. Neither sibling has been allowed to return to the town, and Ardent in particular is keen to go back. but Alice is worried about the potential for panic among the townsfolk, and decides not to take either of them.
Alice has set the siblings doing chores (they have had to do work before) such as chopping wood and clearing out the outhouse. Gavia continues to use nanotech to help her in her chores, but ardent refuses and they discuss with Alice why they choose to use or reject nanotechnology.
Alice finds and puts in a pot a small flower that looks like a small "Piranha Plant" from the Mario Bros series of games.
That night Gavia is still trying to contact the Prasaes. Ardent sneaks out of bed, unknowingly observed by Alice, and decides to walk through the forest to town. Gavia follows. In the forest they see strange sights: a piranha plant that is larger than a human (with skeletons of animals at its base) and a strange eyeless deer, but most alarming is a giant translucent humanoid shape, that reaches out towards the siblings. They run and hide in a cave, which the find is inhabited by two giant birds.
Gavia is about to attack when she is stopped by Alice, who had been secretly following the siblings. Alice explains the "Night Walker" is made of nanomachines that form into a giant shape each night, and if Gavia had been caught it would have absorbed her nanotech and dismantled her in the process.
Alice explains some of the sights of the night: the deer have heat sensitive pits, and the plants are really carnivorous. The birds have powerful bills and legs for digging up roots. Alice implies that she has thousands of years of experience.
The next day three children attempt to capture Gavia (calling her the "demon") She scares them with her nanotech, until stopped again by Ardent. Seeing that she can't stop the townsfolk from interacting with the siblings, Alice agrees to take them to town.
In town the locals are not pleased to see Gavia again, after the destruction she wrought earlier. In particular "Jeb" a tall strong young man is angry at Alice for bringing danger back, but Alice firmly puts him in his place with threats, and an offer to set him up with one of the local girls, Shelly Wilson. Ardent on the other hand is fascinated by the pitchfork one of the local farmers has, and Gavia awkwardly talks to Jeb's friend, Clem.
Then Alice takes the siblings to meet Amos, the town Elder. While Ardent chats to Amos, Alice explains to Gavia a little of how the world came to be. Gavia's version of history (that her ancestors made the Prasaes, and then left to live in space of their own desire) is contradicted by Amos ('We kicked them out for being jerks'). But Alice has a more detailed story.
Long ago humanity split into two factions: Biological Enhancement verses Artificial Intelligence. This led to war, with the AI faction winning. Then there was the "blink" In a moment the AI vanished along with the weapons of war, the biological faction was taken to live in space in a constellation of satellites, and a small remnant of humanity was left on Earth. And Alice was there.

The requirements of the world of work are subject to constant change. Continuing training is necessary in order to remain up to speed in any occupation and to continue to develop professionally. For persons with foreign professional and vocational qualifications, continuing training can be an important step towards full recognition of their qualification and towards achieving successful integration into the labour market.
Funding for continuing training
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has various programmes in place to support continuing training for migrants.
- Continuing training grant
- Grant voucher
What is promoted?
Individual continuing vocational education and training.
Who receives support?
Persons who are in paid employment for at least 15 hours per week can receive a grant voucher. Their annual taxable income may not exceed 20,000 Euros (or 40,000 Euros if they are jointly taxable with their spouse).
Which costs are assumed?
The grant voucher supports the participation in continuing education and training measures with participation fees up to the amount of 1.000 Euros. Fifty per cent of the participation fees are covered by the state with the voucher.
- Further training savings plan (savings voucher)
What is promoted?
Individual continuing vocational education and training.
Who receives support?
The further training savings plan can be used by people having a supported savings deposit pursuant to the Capital Accumulation Act (Vermögensbildungsgesetz – VermBG). The savings voucher of the continuing education grant allows the premature withdrawal of funds from the savings deposit without losing the employee savings grant.
The further training savings plan can be combined with the grant voucher.
Help and advice is provided by a network of regional counselling services. For more information please visit the website of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
- Grant voucher
- Upgrading Training Assistance Act – AFGB ("Meister-BAföG")
What kind of support is on offer?
Support for advanced training courses in the non-academic field (e.g. master craftsman training courses in the craft trades, advanced training courses leading to the qualification of certified senior clerk and technician).
Who is eligible for funding?
Participants with a qualification obtained in Germany or with a comparable foreign qualification. Foreign nationals may also be eligible for funding if they hold a long-term residence permit or are likely to remain in Germany permanently.
Which costs are met?
Funding is available for course and examination fees. A grant in the amount of a maximum of 30.5% of costs and a low-interest loan are provided irrespective of income and assets. 25 percent of the remaining loan is waived if the examination is passed. Depending on family status, income and assets, living support costs may also be paid for full-time advanced training measures (also in the form of a grant and a loan).
Further information is available here.
- Federal Education and Training Assistance Act (BAföG)
What kind of support is on offer?
Support for initial training at general or vocational schools, colleges, academies or institutes of higher education. The funding available for higher education study encompasses support for Bachelor and Masters degrees. Company-based training and the accompanying vocational school-based training (dual training) are not eligible for funding.
Who is eligible for funding?
Persons up to a maximum age of 30 can usually be supported for Bachelor courses of higher education study. For Masters courses of study, the age limit is 35. Foreign nationals who are likely to remain in Germany permanently (e.g. who are in possession of a long-term residence permit or settlement permit) may apply for funding.
Which costs are met?
Both living support costs and costs of education and training are covered. The amount of funding available depends on the assets of the trainees and students, their spouses or their parents. School-age pupils receive their training support in the form of a grant. Higher education students and trainees at trade and technical schools receive half of the funding as a grant and the other half as an interest-free loan.
Point of contact
Further information on BAföG is available from the various relevant agencies, which also process applications.
- Higher education students should contact the Student Support Service at the institute of higher education at which they are enrolled or will enrol.
- Trainees at evening upper secondary schools, colleges, trade and technical schools and academies should contact the Training Funding Office in the district where the training venue is located.
- All other school-age pupils should be referred to the Training Funding Office at the place of residence of their parents.
Application forms and further information are available here.
- Training credit
What kind of support is on offer?
Support for the penultimate and final year of training or continuing training at general or vocational schools, trade and technical schools, colleges, academies and institutes of higher education.
Who is eligible for funding?
Irrespective of BaföG, the programme is aimed at higher education students or pupils who have already obtained a vocational qualification or else will acquire such a qualification as a result of the school-based training they are currently undergoing. Foreign nationals who are likely to remain in Germany permanently (e.g. who are in possession of a long-term residence permit or settlement permit) may apply.
Which costs are met?
The funding comprises a fixed term low-interest loan. Income and assets of trainees and their parents are not taken into account.
Point of contact
Further information is available on the BAföG website or on the official Training credit site.
- Federal state funding programmes
Some federal states also offer funding programmes for participation in continuing training. Information is available from the advisory centres of the "Integration through Training" Network (IQ).
Information on funding opportunities for continuing training within the scope of employment support is available here.

Engagement invites people to the table
Shared power gets people what they want to eat
A wall poster during the mass uprising in France in 1968 read, "You participate, she participates, I participate, they decide." Malcolm X: "Just because you invite me to the table does not mean I get something to eat." Being invited to the table is a cliché commonly used by government, foundations, nonprofit agencies and others when they invite involvement in their change initiatives from various stakeholders most affected by them, the intended beneficiaries, in neighborhoods. The word and concept used to describe this kind of top-down, institutionally-driven participation is engagement.
In contrast to the common definition of power as domination and control, I define power as "the capacity to produce intended results" that provides a basis for using power for transformational change without replicating oppression in other forms. In Minneapolis, a significant example of how engagement differs from shared power is the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) 1991-2011. As in most cities, Minneapolis' public, philanthropic and business sectors are resistant to sharing decision-making power with city neighborhood stakeholders. This resistance was partially overcome in the NRP when neighborhoods had the power to share decision-making as partners with Minneapolis city government.
While formal resident participation programs were not a new idea in the late 1980s – 60% of U.S. cities had such programs – the NRP showed how autonomous neighborhood organizations could control the strategies and the use of funds for priorities determined by residents while local government primarily served as an advisor and provided technical assistance. During its 20 years of operation, the NRP allocated over $400 million to all 81 Minneapolis neighborhoods based on tax-increment financing, a funding mechanism that invested future property tax growth from downtown development to neighborhood revitalization and empowerment.
Unfortunately, Minneapolis city government decided power sharing was problematic, and the neighborhoods were not organized well enough to prevent the NRP from being "redesigned" into a program within the Minneapolis city coordinator's department called Neighborhood and Community Relations (NCR). The purpose and limitations of the NCR is described in its tag-line, "When residents are informed, connected to their community and feel represented in city government, they are empowered to influence decisions that impact their lives."
The redesign eliminated the NRP's power sharing and replaced it with engagement in city initiatives, which according to the NCR, provides a "feeling of being represented in city government … to influence city decisions." The redesign greatly increased ambiguity, which always diminishes accountability, in this particular case, by replacing the clarity of NRP shared decision-making "with a feeling of being represented." Neighborhoods also became immersed in the diversions and illusions of engagement, which intentionally limit possibilities for change representing the desires and priorities of those most affected by change.
Page 2 of 2
The replacement of the NRP with the NCR provides important lessons for neighborhood stakeholders who do not believe Minneapolis city government adequately understands their concerns or makes decisions based on what those most affected by them believe are their own priorities for neighborhood improvement. Perhaps the most obvious lesson is that engagement is limited to advising city elected officials and departments on decisions they retain full power to make. For example, after substantial engagement with stakeholders in all Minneapolis neighborhoods, which produced over a thousand suggestions for modifications: the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, many felt even their strongest recommended changes were simply ignored. Lesson: this will always result when city government restricts neighborhoods to engagement processes rather than sharing decision-making power.
Of course, this raises basic questions about governance and democracy: Should city government share decision-making power with its communities and neighborhoods? And, if so, in what ways and to what degrees? For those who believe city government should share decision-making power, as it did to some degree in the NRP, there are two basic factors which must be addressed: 1) Many in city government will strongly oppose and resist sharing power; and 2) Neighborhoods in Minneapolis are currently far from capable of organizing a citywide alliance to overcome this resistance. A citywide alliance also would be difficult to achieve because of the economics of dominance and self-interest within government, and government funding for nonprofit organizations to serve neighborhoods. Much of this fundingpays the salaries of management gatekeepers, a variety of professionals, and the wages of a significant number of city and nonprofit workers.
Organizing partnerships between city government and a citywide neighborhood alliance is the most likely effective strategy for establishing shared power. However, neighborhood stakeholders would have become far more powerful before inviting government to neighborhood tables. Among other things, forming an alliance would require: 1) Creating high levels of trust in its formation; 2) Addressing and resolving a variety of conflicts within diverse neighborhoods; 3) Agreeing on methods of limiting disruptive actions by those who are self-serving rather than working for a shared mission; 4) Deciding on the mission, goals and operating practices of the alliance; 5) Identifying and involving community-based organizations, such as nonprofit housing developers, which will support the neighborhood alliance; and 6) Securing adequately paid, skilled community empowerment organizers accountable to the partnership rather than accepting staffing support from city government.
Partnerships use a variety of operating practices, ranging from activity-driven and informal to goal-driven and highly organized. In goal-driven partnerships, the likelihood of achieving intended results is increased when the following questions are answered clearly: 1) Are the partnership's mission and goals clear and created with the involvement and consent of all partners? 2) Does each goal have a working group of partners that create an action plan for achieving the goal? 3) Do the action plans include activities linked to specific partners for achieving the goal? 4) Do the action plans have useful indicators of progress toward goal achievement? 5) Does the partnership emphasize and insure the actions of all partners are based on mutual respect, mutual learning and mutual accountability for results.
So, do you want to create the menu or do you want to remain on it?
