- '89 San Francisco Earthquake
The San Francisco earthquake of 1989 caught nearly everyone by surprise and the potential for panic and chaos was great. KGO-TV, knocked off the air by the quake, soon restored its signal and immediately began exclusively broadcasting quake-related information. The station provided residents of the area with information about avoiding dangers with gas and electrical lines, telephone usage, aftershocks, and related topics throughout the night and in the days to come. The station became a clearinghouse for information... read more
- Cambodia Year Ten
As the pace of world events quickens, the media are often criticized for ignoring the past and failing to follow up on significant events of recent history. Too, bottom line considerations have made journalists especially timid, as opinion and analysis have given way to "hit and run" journalism. Cambodia Year Ten is a glaring exception to these trends. Researcher and writer John Pilger and producer/director David Munro returned to Cambodia a decade after the holocaust initiated by the... read more
- China Beach: Vets
Our preoccupation with the war in Vietnam and its consequences continues. We attempt to reconcile our experience in Southeast Asia in the popular arts: from fiction to feature films to television. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new ways of recreating and interpreting the war without falling into traps of imitation or clichè. In the Vets episode of China Beach, writers John Sacret Young and John Wells broke new ground in bringing the experience of the war... read more
- China in Crisis
When the pro-democracy movement began to grow in Mainland China in 1989 it seemed like a small story. A few students were attempting to dramatically alter one of the world's most entrenched governments. It was ludicrous on the surface. But, as the protests grew, leading to the dramatic events in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, many Chinese people were joining in to create an increasingly loud cry for freedom. The brutal response of the Chinese government has done little... read more
- CNN's Coverage of China
In scarcely ten years, Cable News Network has moved from cable curiosity to the channel of record in television news. Never was that maturity more apparent than in its coverage of the tumultuous and tragic events in China in the spring of 1989. While news organizations around the world responded quickly to the infamous events in and around Tiananmen Square, CNN was distinguished by its extensive background reports by correspondent Mike Chinoy, which aired long in advance of... read more
- Common Threads: Stories From the Quilt
Members of the Peabody screening committee have become increasingly familiar with television depictions of the AIDS epidemic. Most are marked with sensationalism and simple-mindedness by focusing on the painfully slow and horrific way most AIDS patients die. To its credit, this film draws attention to the epidemic by celebrating the lives of its victims, not their painful demise. As a moving camera selects individuals from the stirring AIDS Memorial Quilt, and brings the victims back to life through... read more
- Decade
While seemingly everyone pieced together an end of decade review for airing in late 1989, each worked with the same pieces. Thus, it was often difficult to separate one from another. Decade was the exception. It looked and sounded like no other retrospective, interlaced as it was with video segments, rock music, and so-called "witnesses" (ranging from Spike Lee to Roseanne Barr) who interjected their observations of events. This study of the 80s and its icons stands out... read more
- Did They Die in Vain?
The recent anniversary of the tragic events of 1964 when three civil rights workers were killed in Neshoba County has brought back into focus the people of the state of Mississippi. By exploring the continuing wound that these events represent, WLOX-TV was, at once, trying to exorcise some ghosts of the past and ascertain what people's attitudes are in the Mississippi of the present. Interviews with the principals as well as discussions with others have created a powerful... read more
- Earthquake '89
When the earth moved so violently in Northern California on the 17th of October 1989, many people lost their lives and most of the remaining feared for theirs. In the midst of an atmosphere filled with anxiety, KCBS-AM stood out as the voice of reason and concern. Residents of the city and surrounding area were instructed in how to avert natural gas disasters, where supplies would be distributed to those in need, and generally how to survive and... read more
- Hurricane Hugo Aftermath
On the morning of September 22, 1989, Hurricane Hugo roared through the Charleston, South Carolina, area, devastating everything in its path. With radio and television stations off the air and immediate shortages of food, water, and other essentials, the community was in grave danger. Working to repair storm damaged equipment, WCSC-TV engineers got the station back on the air by noon and the station began emergency coverage that saved lives, helped bring order out of chaos, and got... read more
- I Want to Go Home
It is too easy and convenient to write off the homeless as lazy, stupid, and worthless because, then, they do not have to be viewed as humans and their tragedy need not trouble society and its elected officials. Politicians have been doing that for nearly ten years in an effort to convince us that the homeless are merely living out their own inadequacies. But, in some cases, they are simply victims of circumstance. And the fastest growing segment... read more
- Institutional Award: Metropolitan Opera Saturday Afternoon Broadcasts
It is altogether fitting that we share the Peabody golden anniversary celebration with another broadcast institution: the Texaco-Metropolitan Opera Radio Broadcasts. On December 8, 1989, with its 971st broadcast, the Met moved into its second half-century of opera on the airwaves. The partnership between an American corporation and one of our most treasured cultural resources is a model of corporate support for the arts. For five decades, Texaco has fulfilled its commitment to excellence in radio programming. It... read more
- Lonesome Dove
Lonesome Dove managed to dispel two myths at one time. First it put the lie to conventional wisdom that labeled the television western as a dead form. Second, it countered a growing belief that the mini-series is outmoded. Its critical and ratings success has shown that quality work has an audience regardless of the form in which the work appears. CBS Television and Motown Productions in association with Pangaea and Qintex Entertainment have created a first-rate story of... read more
- Lost Innocence: The Children of World War II
With each passing year, the experience of World War II has drifted form recent to distant memory. This is a shame, since the voices of the survivors are the lasting legacy to its victims, especially the children. Lost Innocence: The Children of World War II is a stirring elegy to the thousands of innocents who perished. By presenting emotional and stirring recollections of those who survived, executive producer Karen Levine, associate producer Grazna Krupa and host Timothy Findlay,... read more
- Mei Mei: A Daughter's Song
The story of the relationship between the parents and children is as old as time itself, but we never tire of it because it is central to all. D. Roberts' documentary examines how personal boundaries can be complicated by cultural boundaries as here, where the mother is Taiwanese and her daughter is American. The pain of the mother-who was sold into servitude as a girl and suffered abuse and near starvation makes it very difficult for her to... read more
- NBC News Special: To Be an American
Immigrants have always been the heart and soul of America and they are not a new story. But they are a continuing story and a source of fascination for most of those whose ancestors came here some years back. As a national melting pot, America is one of them most interesting social experiments in history. Against that framework lies To Be an American, a story as old as comfortable shoes and as new as the day's arrivals from... read more
- Personal Award: David Brinkley
There are noble American institutions like elected government, free education, baseball, and hot dogs. Television news has become an institution as well, and within it some luminaries stand out. David Brinkley is one of these. When teamed with Chet Huntley, he kept America informed of the day's events. As a commentator, he has only a handful of peers. In an era when it seems that an unfortunate amount of time and effort in television news is spent on... read more
- Personal Award: J. Leonard Reinsch
It is especially fitting that this award is made to a giant of broadcasting and cable television in the state and city that was home to many of his achievements. J. Leonard Reinsch is a true pioneer in communications. Under his stewardship, the broadcast division of Cox Enterprises grew from a small subsidiary of a newspaper chain to a dominant force in the telecommunications industry. Long before "superstations," he had the vision of interconnected cable systems sharing programming... read more
- POV: Who Killed Vincent Chin?
In our increasingly violent society, it is perhaps too easy to overlook any single murder, especially one of the myriad that occur in high crime urban areas. However, Who Killed Vincent Chin? uses the murder of a young Chinese-American as a metaphor for the urban unrest, racism, and class conflict that characterize contemporary society. Produced and directed by Christine Choy and Renee Tajima, this gripping documentary permitted perpetrators, victims, family members, activists, and members of the criminal justice... read more
- Project Home Team
One largely overlooked group in America is the working poor. While holding jobs and paying taxes—thus, not showing up on welfare rolls—they are falling deeper into poverty. In holding low paying jobs with minimal or no benefits, they are especially susceptible to rising housing and health care costs. Caught between inadequate protection in their jobs and inability to qualify for public assistance programs, they are hard-hit. In this comprehensive series of programs, KING-TV was able to show the... read more
- Scott Simon's Radio Essays
In one of its most elemental forms, the art of radio consists of one person speaking and another listening. As presented on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, Scott Simon communicates and interprets our increasingly complex world with simple elegance and eloquence. His essays have set a standard for others to emulate: cogent and evocative writing, and an admirable diversity of subject matter, all sparingly intermixed with actualities and interviews. The result is radio that makes one think and feel,... read more
- Sesame Street
It may seem hard to believe, but this year marks two decades of informative, innovative, and entertaining television for children on Sesame Street. This landmark program has continually broken new ground in its dedication to excellence. Marked by extensive original research and the most painstaking concern and care in writing, casting, and presentation, Sesame Street now embarks on its mission of preschool preparation for perhaps a third generation. For continually adapting to the dynamic composition and changing needs... read more
- Small Sacrifices
This terrifying true story, based on Ann Rule's best-selling book, marked a high point in television drama for 1989. At the heart of the chilling tale of a mother's mental illness and unthinking cruelty is the performance of Farrah Fawcett. With this portrayal, Farrah Fawcett has forever put to rest the image of her talents associated with Charlie's Angels. Ably assisted by Ryan O'Neal, with exceptional writing by Joyce Eliason and direction by David Greene, Ms. Fawcett brings... read more
- The Great Wall of Iron
Much of the world first became aware of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the tragedy of Tiananmen Square in June 1989. However, only weeks before, filming had been completed on an extraordinary examination of China's military machine. Boasting unprecedented access to all areas of the People's Liberation Army, this five-hour documentary reveals with unerring insight and exceptional clarity the enigma which is the modern Chinese army. Executive producers Michael Caulfield and Philip Gerlach, producers Steve Amezdroz and... read more
- The Public Mind
Bill Moyers has been a fixture on the television landscape for some years now and he has always been associated with television at its best. The programs to which he has lent his stature have been characterized by incisiveness, intelligence, and thoughtfulness. The Public Mind is no different in that regard as it focuses upon a phenomenon so pervasive—the relationship of viewers to television—that few can grasp the concept well. But, in this series, Moyers manages to explore... read more
- The Wonder Years
Each year, the Peabody Board bemoans the near-absence of excellence in series television. The decline in quality seems especially acute in the area of comedy. Happily, The Wonder Years is a glowing exception to that trend. This innovative series uses the tumultuous 1960s as a backdrop for its insight into the dynamics of family relationships. Distinguished by exceptional acting (including Fred Savage, Dan Lauria and Alley Mills), first-rate writing, and imaginative use of sound and music, The Wonder... read more
- Yellowstone: Four Seasons After Fire
When the fires of 1988 devoured acres of Yellowstone National Park, most observers thought the area would be a long time in recovering if, indeed, it ever recovered at all. But after the fire, all the sage observers left, except for the news people of KCNC-TV returned to the park time and time again to see, over the long run, how the park was faring. By backpacking, snowmobiling, and traveling in the wooded areas of the park, they... read more

ProScatter™ is a PCME patented laser forward scatter technique which provides reliable and high accuracy concentration measurement in Incinerator, Power Plant, Cement Stacks and other processes which require high auditing and traceability requirements (eg from EN 14181 and US EPA PS-11). The technique has a high signal to noise ratio even at dust concentrations below 0.1mg/m3 making it suitable for modern industrial plant where emissions are controlled well below the application and minimum detection limit of traditional optical transmission systems.
Core Features of the Technology are:
A laser diode light beam is directed through the measurement volume of a probe, positioned in a representative location within the stack. Particles in the stack flow freely through the measurement volume and scatter the laser beam in all directions including a cone of light in the near forward direction. This cone of scattered light is collected and reflected via an inclined mirror and quartz rod to a detector located outside the stack environment. The resulting scatter signal is measured and is proportional to dust concentration for a particular particle size and being in the near forward direction is relatively immune to changes in particle type and refractive index.
A span or contamination check is automatically performed by periodically rotating a scattering material into the laser beam ahead of the measurement volume and comparing the resulting scattered response to a benchmarked level.
PCME ProScatter™ instruments are available with a full range of quality assurance features and options, some of which are unique and patented to PCME Ltd:

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) announced on Friday an official player development partnership. This partnership is the final piece to the provincial organization's fully developed High Performance Stream plan. The alliance between both organizations creates a pathway for youth throughout the province to pursue their dreams of playing within higher echelons of the game.
"We could not be happier to partner with the Saskatchewan Soccer Association," said Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi. "Canada is a vast country, but through this partnership we are able to bring our common goals together to strengthen player development and hopefully, by design, see more young talents emerge from Saskatchewan."
The 'Caps MLS roster currently features Saskatoon Youth Soccer product Brett Levis, while the club is also home to fellow Saskatoon resident and U-18 Canadian national team goalkeeper Thomas Hasal on the U-18 Residency team. Both players spent time within the provincial competitive stream and on SSA provincial teams.
With this agreement, Whitecaps FC will now become an integral facet to the provincial delivery system and is the culmination of many years work for the provincial organization.
"The Saskatchewan High Performance Stream is reaching new heights with our partnerships with Whitecaps FC and the Canadian Soccer Association with our male and female provincial pathways respectively," noted Terrol Russell, SSA high performance stream manager. "We are very proud that our provincial system aligns directly with that of our partners and provides Saskatchewan's soccer participants with direction, guidance, and ongoing support. The resources and experience within the Vancouver Whitecaps FC organization, further strengthens the impact we can make in helping our participants reach their dreams."
Whitecaps FC and the SSA will collaborate to enhance current high performance opportunities. The top performers from SSA High Performance Stream programming will filter into the professional club environment in Vancouver through the Whitecaps FC Residency and Girls Elite REX program in partnership with BC Soccer, along with regular visits from Vancouver staff to Saskatchewan. Within Saskatchewan, Whitecaps FC programming will continue to be overseen by head coach, Bryce Chapman. Players will also have the opportunity to travel to Vancouver for further evaluations and tournaments through the WFC Residency program and the female Super REX pathway.
The partnership builds on Whitecaps FC's existing academy centre in Saskatoon established in 2013, as well as the club's Regina academy programs launched in 2015.
Whitecaps FC are now partnered with seven provincial soccer associations across Canada as the Saskatchewan Soccer Association joins founding provincial partners BC Soccer, as well as the Alberta Soccer Association, Manitoba Soccer Association, Soccer Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association, and the Prince Edward Island Soccer Association.
In total, the Whitecaps FC academy centre network totals 19 locations in eight of 10 provinces, including London and Ottawa academy centres in Ontario.

The stuff of nightmares.
Posted By Shubhankar Parijat | On 28th, Feb. 2018 Under Feature, Slider
Boss battles are an important part of gaming culture. That importance may have started diminishing a little bit in this modern era of gaming, but even now, boss fights are a vital aspect of video games. Be it because of their incredible design, their role in the game's narrative, or the challenge they provide, the boss fights that really get things right cement themselves in our collective memories like few things can. But what if these terrifying enemies decided to join forces to take the player down?
In this feature, we're going to take a look at fifteen combinations of bosses from a variety of games and franchises that would prove to be absolutely devastating for anyone who would ever face them- of course, no one ever really could face them, since this list, it goes without saying, is purely hypothetical.
We've got a lot to discuss, so let's jump right in.
Darkeater Midir from Dark Souls III: The Ringed City is a massive, terrifying four-winged dragon with only one weak point on its entire body (the head), a veritable arsenal of attacks, and moves and strategies to counter almost anything you can throw its way. Monster Hunter World's Xeno'jiiva, on the other hand, is a newborn Elder Dragon, so it's not that hard as far as boss encounters go, since there are various ways to defeat it and telegraphing its attacks isn't always all that hard. If you combine the two, though, you're left with a fearsome beast with little to no weaknesses and every chance of blowing you all the way to high hell and back within seconds of seeing you.

China rattles the markets but view on China remains unchanged
Financial markets took a serious hit at the start of 2016 on yet another wave of worries about China. It's widely accepted that a severe economic crisis in China is one of the most important risks again for this year. We agree. Unlike what many investors seem to believe at the moment, however, the equity slide and downward pressure on the RMB tell us very little about the underlying economic picture. Our scenario that China will avoid a hard landing in 2016 therefore remains in place.
- What then was responsible for the significant drop in Chinese equity market and depreciation of the RMB? The most likely answer is that the anticipation of the planned lifting on share sales (introduced in mid-2015 when Chinese financial markets crashed following a speculative bubble) triggered the equity sell-off. Moreover, it seems that a new circuit breaker system has exacerbated the situation as investors rushed for the exit before markets are closed down when prices drop too fast. There is still a long way to go before China will have a soundly developed financial system in place. If you believe that equity prices in the Western world are heavily subject to mood changes among investors, then investing in the Chinese stock market comes close to playing casino games. At the same time, as relatively few Chinese citizens own equities, the recent stock market crash should not have a meaningful impact on domestic consumption.
- All this has also put downward pressure on the RMB but with regards to the latter, the main answer is that in the second half of last year authorities have taken further measures to relax the currency's peg to the USD. The RMB has now lost more than 5% against the USD since last summer, back to around the level where it was 5 years ago. Some observers are arguing that the country is entering a currency war in an attempt to shore up economic growth via a boost of exports and that much more currency depreciation lies ahead. However, we think this view ignores a crucial point. First, versus a broad basket of currencies, the RMB has remained broadly stable last year. More importantly, over the last five years, the RMB has appreciated more than 25% against the currencies of its major trade partners. Talking about a currency war, therefore, seems vastly overdone. Looking ahead, the risk of the RMB sharply moving lower remains contained in our opinion. The chance that the currency loses more against the USD is indeed real but ample FX reserve ammunition implies that any depreciation against the USD will play out gradually. As stated before, authorities are increasingly managing their currency against a broader range of currencies which of course makes sense from an economic point of view. Indeed, it totally fits in the much needed rebalancing of the economy and gradual opening of the capital account. Viewed from this perspective, we think the RMB will remain fairly stable in the near future.
- The upshot is that the recent financial market turmoil in China and beyond should not signal further economic weakness. True, the latest confidence indicators remained slightly below expectations but that simply cannot explain the storm on financial markets. If anything, the data mix from the last couple of months suggests that earlier stimulus measures are starting to kick in and that economic activity is stabilizing. As is the case every year, the upcoming Chinese New Year will make sure that incoming data for January and February will be much harder to interpret. This means we might have to wait until March or April before getting a clearer picture. Those who think that the Chinese economy will quickly rebound are likely to be disappointed. Those who think that growth will continue to slow down over the next couple of years will probably be proven right. This has been our view since many years now. Rebalancing the economy is challenging but earlier stimulus measures and available policy options are likely to make sure that economic activity will not fall of a cliff in 2016 even though it cannot be excluded that China's stock market sees more turmoil.

Winter was approaching and Ned's main duties consisted of looking after the animals. He got up before the sun rose and finished work after dusk every day. At night-time, he shivered under a blanket until Gundred built him a small fireplace. From then on, Ned was allowed a fire to keep himself warm at night. The farmer worked with Ned every day and the boy respected him. Through the freezing weather, Ned toiled day after day. Come the spring, he began working the land. Continue reading
Within an hour, they made it to the far reaches of the forest. At the tree line, Kroll brought them to a halt at the edge of a seemingly impassable swamp. Upwards of fifty Malaxian warriors were in an encampment and at least as many merchants with horses and carts by their tents. Kroll ordered his men to make camp away from the others, and walked over to speak to some soldiers. Continue reading
Jorrin prowled the woods and saved people time and again. He was an expert sword fighter, too quick for any of the lumbering outlaws. Each time he prevented a robbery, Jorrin ensured his face remained obscured under the hood. And he never asked for anything in return, always ensuring the merchants or travellers safely continued their journeys. Continue reading
Hooded Man
Jorrin was staking out the main path through the forest leading to the Snook. He had heard a consignment of goods was due to be delivered. In the afternoon, he saw six men leading horses over the track. They were fully loaded with goods and moved with a lot of noise. Given how dangerous the woods were at the moment, they should have been more careful. Jorrin shook his head. Some movement caught his eye further up a bank of trees. He focussed on the woodland overlooking the path. Men were up there, he could sense it. They moved furtively toward the merchants. Continue reading
Dangerous Times
Merchants travelled through the Foijen carrying valuable wares and many of the villagers were rich. This attracted marauders to the land. They were unscrupulous men who prowled around looking to kill and steal. There were often gangs of up to a dozen men lying in wait for unsuspecting victims and robberies became more frequent. Continue reading
Bandits And Beasts
Ned had a small, white dog called Skar, whose coat was as soft as cotton. She liked to growl and play, but learned not to bark. It was important to know when to be quiet in the Foijen as enemies lurked in the shadows. Gangs of bandits frequenting the woodland, always looking for opportunities to attack and steal. And the wolves out there hunted in packs. Ned often heard the howling somewhere deep in the night shadows. Continue reading
Of the many peasants in the Snook, one man was fervid about living there. His name was Grotter and he saw the village as an up-and-coming place with lots of nice shops opening up. Beyond the High Street, in his view, some splendid houses were being built. Grotter aspired to live there one day. But, for now, his life of toiling in a mine was a difficult one. He grafted long hours underground for just enough food to feed his wife and son. Grotter thought his status was beneath that which a man of his calibre was capable of achieving. And all the rich folk thought they were better than people like him. If only he had a chance to show everyone what an amazing person he was. Disgruntled with his lot, Grotter hatched a plan for an uplift in status. He was desperate to be accepted by the great and the good, who dismissed him as a mere peasant. Continue reading
The local manor accumulated wealth at a rapid rate. Peasants worked the land for farmers or laboured underground in chalk mines. Landowners made money and merchants sold wares. Snookington became a wealthy village, attracting market traders from around the Kingdom. Successful commercial men took pleasure in showing off their newfound status and found favour with Lord Snookington. The village was nicknamed the Snook and its traditional High Street boasted a bakery, butchers, greengrocers and tavern. A half-timbered house rose toward the crest of the hill, just in front of the church under construction. Flint and stone were arranged in piles as stonemasons laboured under the warm sun. Continue reading
Early evening was setting in and an old man sat on a patch of icy grass opposite the church building site. He pulled a blanket up to his chin as a respite from the biting cold air. A couple in impeccable attire carefully walked in the fresh snow from beyond the churchyard. Their upturned noses raised a little higher when they saw the smelly down-and-out man. He had an apple by his feet. In one swift movement, the well-dressed man kicked the apple away as the prim lady tittered. Ice struck the tramp's face and he flinched. Standing over the vagrant, a loud plummy voice cheeped out. Continue reading
Olden Days
In a bygone age, Snookington Village was home to more animals than people. The streets were well trodden by horses, cows and pigs. Villagers worked on the many farms or in mines. Life was hard for most, but there was enough food to go around. The village nestled by a woodland at the border of a wealthy Kingdom. The Lord of the manor was a man called Snookington and he managed its affairs in line with the King's wishes. Continue reading

Stress physiology
Treatment only $399
Stress is considered as energy disequilibrium. When the internal circulation of energy is disrupted your health feels the effects of it. The energy of a healthy person who also lives in a good environment circulates well. But any disturbance is going to cause an energy "log jam" or to harm organs and this will create insomnias, anxiety, irritation, you will have a libido loss, a sense of humour loss and stress.
Stress is when a too big pressure is put on your organism. For women and men, this pressure can be caused by internal or external demands which are called the "stress elements".
Stress elements can result from work or from friendly, environmental, financial or family demands which are difficult to satisfy. They can also be internal and be the consequence of obligation that you have imposed to yourself, of guilt, of anxiety, of self-criticism, of contentious values, of illness or of psychological tensions.
Proceedings of the session
How does a session for STRESS CONTROL unfold?
First, the practitioner starts making a check-up with you in order to know you better and to be able to customise your treatment and to adapt it to your own needs.

We are well-aware of the need of conservation and careful management of our natural resources, and so as far as we are able we ensure that all our shells (other than beach-collected) are harvested from sustainable sources from selected and reliable sea-food suppliers and bona-fide shell dealers who respect local, and where in place, national fishing controls.
We abide by and fully adhere to and support CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species). Of the very few shells listed in the Convention, the Giant Clam family is the most well-known.

A recent report has highlighted the fact that rural areas with poor internet connection are unable to complete homework.
Director at Rural England, Brian Wilson stated that children raised in rural areas are at a disadvantage in comparison to their urban counterparts. Due to weak internet connections, they are unable to access the required educational platforms which is hindering their academic progress.
The report carried out by the campaign group said that rural communities are at a disadvantage because of their inferior transport links to crucial public services.
The report was written by Mr Wilson, and he says: "Slow internet connectivity is the main problem faced in rural areas. It is getting slightly better; however, approximately one quarter of homes are not able to get connected to the internet.
"As technology becomes more and more dominant, schools are utilising online learning materials and children are expected to do a lot of their homework online. Especially when the assignments are research based projects which involve downloading large documents and attachments."
The Telegraph is launching a Better Broadband campaign in order to expose the damage that bad or no internet connection is inflicting on businesses and families in rural communities.
The government has recommended that by 2020 everyone in the United Kingdom will legally be entitled to request high speed internet of 10mbps.
The chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary group on broadband Matt Warman says that it is the responsibility of the government to introduce focused provisions to enhance broadband in schools because children are forfeiting the majority of the curriculum.
Mr Warman told the Daily Telegraph: "If there is no internet connection, how can we expect children to improve intellectually? This problem is stunting academic achievement and it's unacceptable, this country has more than enough money to ensure that everyone has access to adequate internet connection."

text: Students from across WV will attend the West Virginia Governor's STEM Institute (GSI) this summer (2018). For decades, students were encouraged to learn about science, and they did. The did not, however, experience the excitement of discovery--of proving a theory. Carl Sagan's declaration that we can "do" science fired the movement to make young students actual scientists. Books are still important; they contain necessary, fundamental, background knowledge. With that knowledge, students can soar into the unknown. Recognizing that the scientific and mathematic discoveries have made a difference in the world were developed over long periods of time by motivated, dedicated, thorough, and creative minds, the State of West Virginia offers the Governor's STEM Institute, inviting students to delve into projects that allow them the time and opportunity to think and work like scientists and engineers, using high level mathematics and thinking skills while employing the latest technology.

The City of Westminster's Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday approved a bill that would allow the sale of firearms as a permitted use under special exception in the Main Street and historic downtown area.
After much deliberation and audience input, which veered toward a dispute about guns, the commission passed Ordinance 903 back to the Mayor and Common Council, suggesting that the lawmaking body consider adding provisions that would limit what kind of business could apply to sell firearms and that a business be approved only if it were a "reasonable" distance from other establishments — like schools.
Similar legislation passed in February reopened the door for tattoo parlors in the Downtown Business Zone. Ordinance 903 would do the same for the legal sale of guns in Downtown Westminster. Firearms are the only items that remain forbidden from the city epicenter.
If passed, the bill "doesn't mean just because you own a business in Downtown Westminster that you can start selling guns," said Ross Albers, vice chairman of the commission. "It means you might be able to if we decide we're going to let you do it."
Westminster's City Council voted unanimously Dec. 10 to introduce a bill that would allow the sale of firearms as permitted use under special exception to the city's Main Street and historic downtown area. Similar legislation passed in February reopened the door for tattoo parlors in downtown.
For a business to be approved to sell firearms, if 903 were to pass, the business would have to present its case to the city's Board of Zoning Appeals, which would evaluate the case based on a set of criteria outlined in the ordinance.
"Special exceptions under Maryland Law, the idea is that it's a use that is compatible by definition with the zoning district that it's in, but it might not be compatible with every single location," explained Bill Mackey, Westminster director of community planning and development. "The assumption is compatibility, but there's a test to see if in this particular location, is there some issue, and then some of our special exceptions have specific standards and some do not. This one is proposed as having specific standards."
The bill includes a variety of provisions specific to the sale of firearms. For a facility to be approved it must have an advanced alarm system; industry-standard video surveillance system; beefed-up doors, gates, glass and commercial-grade locks; any walls backing up to other buildings must be made of bullet-resistant material; and the building must have a loading and unloading station "comprised of heavy steel enclosures."
The council already passed on Feb. 26 an ordinance that allowed "schools for firearms safety training not including discharge of firearms or handling of live ammunition" — which paved the way for Geared Up Firearms Training and Accessories Inc. — according to a city staff report concerning the ordinance.
Ordinance 903, proposed by Councilman Tony Chiavacci and introduced by the Common Council on Monday, would allow Geared Up to expand its business to include the sale of firearms from its shop at 19 North Court Street.
With a Federal Firearms License, Geared Up already sells guns online, said owner Donna Dressel. None of the transactions take place at the brick and mortar shop, rather from Dressel's home, which is not in Westminster.
Many in attendance at Thursday's planning meeting testified on behalf of Geared Up.
"I grew up handling firearms and stuff like that, respectfully, I got a Red Ryder BB Gun when I was 7 [years old]," said Charles Fox, of Taneytown. "I heard from a friend about their shop and I visited and I will say it was extremely safe in there. Everything's locked up, there's no horseplay or anything like that. It's a very professional workplace."
Fox said he took a handgun qualification course at Geared Up, as well as a course for a Wear and Carry Permit.
"I even still learned stuff going to that class that I still didn't know even after years of handling firearms myself," Fox told the commission. "So it was quite beneficial having that place there to teach me about the firearms and all like that, and further my knowledge and make me a safer citizen as a result of it."
Others echoed Fox's remarks, highlighting a business they said operated with an abundance of caution.
"They do so much with safety," said Michael Spindler, of Owings Mills. "You can tell it's their number one priority."
Regardless of the extensive safety precautions, some remained unconvinced that Downtown Westminster was the right place for a gun shop.
"I have no quibble with a business that sells firearms in Westminster," said Bobbi Moser, a Westminster resident, who works for Carroll County. "I think Downtown Westminster is the wrong location for such a business. ... I would prefer to see this type of business in our Business District, Industrial District."
Moser likened the search for an appropriate location for firearms sales to the city's process of approving medical cannabis dispensaries.
The Board of Carroll County Commissioners approved allowing secondhand firearms dealers to keep paper records instead of requiring they use the Regional Automated Property Information Database system.
"What the city did a number of years ago was research the entire city and determine what areas were appropriate for that kind of use and the idea was that people would come in with specific properties in mind within those areas for their dispensaries," she said. "But if you look at a map of where these permissible areas were, they were all well outside the historic downtown area."
Moser suggested the same for firearms sales, which are already being sold in different zoning districts.
"I think the sale of firearms is a little bit different than an ice cream shop or a bicycle shop or restaurant," she said. "You're talking bars and windows, high security, camera surveillance. I think it would change the character and ambiance of our downtown in a negative way."
The commission decided to pass the bill along to Common Council and to allow the lawmakers to iron out the details. They did, however, suggest that language should be added that would limit what kind of business would be eligible to apply for a special exception — to be able to sell guns in downtown. A business asking to sell guns should by nature be related to firearms in some way.
Latest Carroll County News
"I think what we don't want," Albers told his peers, "is where the ice cream shop one day decides they want to sell guns."

NetStream Removal Tips
You may not remember installing NetStream onto your computer, because it most likely arrived with other freeware or shareware. The application is classified as potentially unwanted and ad-supported. It does not add any beneficial features to your browsers, instead, it just floods them with adverts.
The reason this happens is because the software is aimed at generating revenue for its creators by employing the pay-per-click system. Since you do not benefit from it in any way, we urge you to remove NetStream as soon as you can. Once you terminate the adware, you will be able to go back to uninterrupted Internet surfing.

Make sure that is what you do the next time you deal with freeware or shareware.
Here are some of the symptoms that you are likely to notice, if you have the NetStream adware on your computer: various adverts popping-up on your screen no matter which sites you visit, redirects to the program's sponsor sites, slower than usual Internet connection and system speed. The most important thing for you to know is that the application does not endorse the content that it shows you. This means that you will be exposed to fake ads. If you do not wish to deal with the consequences of falling for a scam, you should avoid all advertisements until you delete NetStream from your computer completely.

Stella Cox Taped
Release Date: Mar.06.2017
Running Time: 0:45:44
Category: Bondage Storylines
When journalist Stella Cox went after an intriguing story without waiting for backup, she was plunged into a dark world of tape-bondage! Grabbed soon after entering the mysterious location, Stella was pinned with black tape around her wrists and ankles to a metal post high above the floor. Several strips of the black tape also sealed Stella's lips as she twisted on high heels in her decorative top and short dark skirt. After tight ropes were coiled around her chest, the towering villain toyed with Stella by pulling up her skirt and lowering her panties!
The enterprising reporter fervently wished she could turn back the clock as she lay naked on a couch, her limbs subdued by the same white tape that covered her mouth! Stella struggled frantically, rolling from her side to her stomach, but remained in taped restraint. When the ominous figure returned, he wasted no time in raising Stella's legs so he could hungrily mouth her soft bare feet, then had her sit up for some friendly breast-fondling!
Stella was no sooner released from one bondage than she was placed in another as duct tape held her arms behind her back and secured her ankles. A duct- tape gag muffled Stella's calls for help as she writhed naked and powerless on a bed covered by a garish sheet! Her ample breasts moving rhythmically, the nude journalist lay on her back to kick up her bare feet, then rolled on her stomach and strained futilely against the tape. After watching in satisfaction while Stella struggled, her host continued to play his mischievous game by raising her onto her feet and ordering her to stand in place.
Shifted to a dark corner, Stella stood once again against a brick wall, her voluptuous body accentuated by the coils of microfoam tape above and below her breasts! Although the desperate naked beauty squirmed in the shadows and whimpered through her tape-gag, she was no match for the sticky fabric embracing her. When Stella sank onto her knees, her submission was more than symbolic!
Stella's lesson in the perils of impulsiveness concluded when she was taken to a forbidding dungeon and mounted on a leg-spreading apparatus! Her ankles taped separately to metal stirrups and her wrists secured above her head, Stella's eyes were wide with alarm above her colorful tape-gag. She wriggled in disbelief in the latest and most humiliating in the crazed man's baffling series of restraints, and yet another followed when Stella was transferred to a wooden X-cross, where she stood and waited for a rescue that was seriously overdue!

What do the metal bands Murder Construct, Morbid Angel, Cattle Decapitation and Napalm Death all have in common? Their members love cats.
The band names may be less than cuddly, but photographer Alexandra Crockett's book "Metal Cats" proves these musicians enjoy petting Persians and cuddling with calicos.
The 176-page book features color photographs of adorable kitties and the hardcore metal fans who love them.
Although cats and metalheads might seem like an unlikely pairing, Crockett's photos show the bond between these men and their furry feline friends.
"Metal isn't all dark and disturbing, violent, and misanthropic," reads the book's description. "'Metal Cats' is proof that while the music may be brutal, the people in the scene are softies for their pets just like you and me."
The book comes out on May 6, and a portion of its sales — as well as a series of benefit shows along the West Coast — will go toward a no-kill shelter in each of the four main cities visited.
Check out some of Crockett's incredible photos below.

Johnny Depp Explains His Hilarious Australian Dog Apology
But what happens when they get into a conflict with a government? Well, this will surely be a topic to talk about and a mocking material for months, if not even more…How did two little dogs got Johnny Depp into a clash with the Australian government? We're here with the details:
Start of Soap-Opera
Johnny Depp was filming a new movie in Australia and his beloved Amber decided to visit him, but not alone, she had to bring dogs with her as well. All went downhill when Amber decided to go against the law. Maybe she didn't know law rules or she just simply decided to avoid them.
Australia is known for its strict quarantine laws designed to keep diseases out of the country. Amber's dogs, arriving from the USA, had to spend 10 days in quarantine, but Amber wasn't up for that idea. Because of it, she received one-month good behavior bond and if she breaks it she will need to pay $1,000.
To spice the entire situation, even more, the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, Barnaby Joyce, threatened to put the dogs down if they were not returned to the USA. And the hate between Joyce and Depp was born.

Title IX - Investigation
Investigation and Resolution of Complaints when the Accused Person is a Student
Filing of The Complaint
Reporting a Sexual Misconduct Complaint or Report
Complainants and witnesses are encouraged to report sexual misconduct as soon as possible in order to maximize the college's ability to respond promptly and effectively. By reporting the sexual misconduct, you help protect yourself and others from future harm. Reporting an issue is the best way for the college and the community to help an individual receive the resources and interim measures available to them. Reporting the incident is a separate step from choosing to go through the college conduct process. At the time a report is made, a complainant does not have to decide whether or not to request any particular course of disciplinary action or whether to proceed with any disciplinary action at all. The complainant will also be provided with a written document explaining the process, their rights and options, and available resources.
An incident of sexual misconduct does not have to occur on campus to be reported to the college. Furthermore, the college understands that some incidents of sexual misconduct involve interactions between only the complainant and the respondent and are not witnessed by other people. Lack of corroborating evidence or witness accounts should not discourage individuals from reporting sexual misconduct. Reports of sexual misconduct will be assessed, investigated, and decided appropriately even when the only individuals involved are the complainant and the respondent.
The college knows that the decision whether or not to report sexual misconduct is personal and that there are many barriers, both individual and societal, to reporting. The college will approach the initial assessment of any report with a sincere effort to understand the perspective and experiences of each individual involved. College officials will make every effort to respect a complainant's autonomy in making decisions and provide support that will allow a complainant to provide a full, detailed, and accurate report that will aid college officials in assessing the complaint.
If the accused is a Coe student, the Title IX Coordinator or their designee will notify the respondent that an alleged incident of sexual misconduct has been reported to the college. During this communication, a complainant may choose not to have their identity divulged. Individuals may make an anonymous report without disclosing their name, identifying the Respondent (if known) or requesting any action. Depending on the level of information available and a complainant's willingness to divulge their identity, anonymity may impact the college's ability to pursue appropriate action. Where a complainant requests that their name or other identifying information not be shared with the respondent, the college will balance this request with a respondent's right to confront their accuser and to know the allegations being charged against them. The Dean of Students, as a Title IX deputy and overseer of the college conduct process, is the person responsible for evaluating requests for confidentiality. The Dean of Students may consult with other appropriate college officials and legal counsel as necessary when analyzing such a request.
If a complainant chooses to divulge their identity, the Dean of Students may consider interim measures, discussed below, while the complaint is investigated. Remedial measures can include a "no-contact" order between the complainant and respondent. This requires that the respondent and complainant refrain from interacting while the investigation and resolution is pending.
The final determination of how to proceed and what method of resolution is appropriate once a complaint has been filed and initially assessed will be left to the college. The Director of Human Resources will coordinate cases where a faculty or staff member is named as a respondent. The Dean of Students will coordinate cases were a student is named as the respondent. While the college will consider the complainant's expressed preference for resolution, the college may initiate an investigation on its own initiative when justified, such as when a respondent may have been involved in serious or repeated conduct or may pose a threat to the college community. If the college determines a course of disciplinary action or resolution that is less severe than the wishes of the complainant, the complainant may request further or heightened disciplinary action. At any time, the complainant has the right to request that the college initiate a formal investigation under the procedures outlined in this policy.
Once a complaint is made, the college will endeavor to conclude its processes and reach a resolution within a reasonable period. This timeframe may be impacted by the college's calendar and is based on the circumstances surrounding the complaint. Both parties will be given periodic updates throughout the process.
Advisor/Support Person
Complainants and respondents are entitled the same opportunities to consult with and be accompanied by one advisor/support person of their choice throughout each and every step in the sexual misconduct disciplinary process. This includes assistance in the preparation of any written materials and attending any meeting with the investigator(s) or other college personnel.
However, an advisor may not actively participate in any meeting or proceedings. The advisor may be any individual, including an attorney, who is not a witness or otherwise involved in the events that are the subject of the complaint or is otherwise involved in the disciplinary process under this policy. The advisor can be a trained victim advocate through a community agency such as the Riverview Center. Advisors are not permitted to speak to, question, or otherwise communicate with other parties or witnesses during the course of any investigation without express authority from the Title IX Coordinator or designee. A support person or advisor may be required to meet with the Title IX Coordinator in advance to understand the parameters of their role, privacy restrictions under FERPA, and the provisions of this policy.
The complainant or respondent may change their advisor at any point during the process. The college reserves the right to dismiss an advisor who is disruptive to the proceedings or who does not abide by the restrictions in this policy. It is expected that the advisor will understand and abide by the expectations of privacy involved in the proceeding and will act with appropriate decorum at all stages. An advisor will be asked to sign an affirmation that they understand their role in the process.
Interim Measures and Protecting the Complainant
After a complainant files a sexual misconduct complaint or report, the college may impose reasonable interim measures that will assist or eliminate the alleged hostile environment and protect the parties involved while the resolution process unfolds. Interim measures are actions taken by the college to support students while an investigation is occurring. Potential interim measures include, but are not limited to:
- Access to medical or counseling services on and off campus;
- Imposition of a college no-contact order;
- Assistance in obtaining a civil protection order;
- Facilitating a meeting with law enforcement;
- Rescheduling of exams and assignments;
- Providing alternative course completion options;
- Changing class schedules or transferring sections, including the ability to drop a course without penalty;
- Changing work or job assignments or schedules;
- Changing or removal from a student's college-owned residence;
- Assistance in other relocation;
- Limiting an individual or organizations' access to college facilities or participation in college activities;
- Voluntary leave of absence;
- Providing an escort to and from classes, work, home or activities;
- Providing academic support services;
- Interim suspension pending the final outcome of a formal resolution process.
A complainant may request specific interim measures when making a sexual misconduct complaint at any point during the process. The college is obligated to provide reasonable interim measures regardless of whether a report has been made to local law enforcement. Requests for interim measures should be made to the Dean of Students. The college will keep interim measures confidential to the greatest extent possible. If it is necessary to disclose personal information to provide an interim measure, the college will endeavor to notify the complainant before doing so. The college may also impose interim measures of its own volition.
Additionally, if a complainant has obtained a court order related to the respondent, the complainant should provide such information to the Dean of Students. The college will take all reasonable and legal action to assist with compliance of the order.
Initial Assessment
The Title IX Coordinator and other administrators, will ensure that the college responds to every sexual misconduct complaint or report in a timely manner that treats every individual with respect.
The first step in response to a sexual misconduct complaint or report is an initial assessment. The initial assessment will consider the nature of the report, the complainant's preferences for resolution, and the most appropriate course of action given the information available. The appropriate course of action may change over time, as further information gathering, analysis, or investigation reveal more information surrounding the alleged sexual misconduct. The final decision on the course of action will be made by the Dean of Students, the Title IX Coordinator, or another designated official. At the initial assessment stage, and throughout any investigation or disciplinary proceeding, only those who "need to know" are given information about the issues.
The college may, at its discretion, record any investigations, interviews, meetings or any other in-person proceedings that occur during the sexual misconduct process. The college will transcribe these recordings, and upon confirmation from the recorded party that the transcription is accurate, the recordings will be destroyed after the disciplinary process concludes.
Notice to Respondent of a Sexual Misconduct Complaint and/or Investigation
The Title IX Coordinator or his/her designee will notify the respondent that a complaint has been filed against them, the name of the complainant, if known, the nature of the allegations in the complaint, and, if it is known at that time, how the case will proceed. During this initial meeting with the Title IX Coordinator or designee, the respondent will have the opportunity to review the sexual misconduct charge, provide information about the incident, and accept or deny responsibility for the violation.
Respondents in a sexual misconduct investigation and administrative review proceeding are expected to participate in the investigation and administrative review process. The investigation and administrative review proceeding will still occur even if a respondent chooses not to participate or chooses to leave Coe College.
Informal Resolution
Informal means of resolution, such as mediation, may be used in lieu of the formal investigation and determination procedure or, in some circumstances, utilized even after the formal process has already commenced. The following standards apply to any informal resolution method that is utilized:
- The decision about whether to pursue Informal or Formal Resolution will be made by the Dean of Students or Human Resources Director (depending on the status of the Respondent) in consultation with other administrators at the College, such as the Title IX Coordinator, as needed.
- The complainant will not be required to "work out" the problem directly with the respondent.
- Either party may terminate the informal process at any time and elevate the complaint to the formal investigation procedures described below.
- Informal resolution in the form of mediation, even on a voluntary basis, will not be used to resolve complaints alleging sexual assault.
- Informal Resolution can include, but is not limited to, options such as the following:
- Jointly meeting informally with the complainant and respondent in order to find a mutually agreeable solution;
- A representative from the college meeting with the respondent individually in an effort to act as an intercessor on behalf of the complainant;
- Voluntarily agreed upon separation of the complainant and respondent;
- Referral of the parties or party to counseling programs;
- Conducting educational and/or training programs; or
- An agreement for corrective action.
If an informal resolution is sought, it may prevent the need for a full investigation of the incident and provide a faster outcome. When a complaint has been informally resolved, parties will be asked to sign a document acknowledging the mutually agreed upon resolution. The informal resolution process will not invoke the college's disciplinary process.
Formal Resolution Investigation
If formal disciplinary action is pursued, the allegation of sexual misconduct will be fully investigated and resolved via the process appropriate to the respondent's affiliation with the college. The purpose of the investigation is to determine and establish whether there is a basis for believing that it is more likely than not that the violations alleged in the complaint have occurred.
The college will be prompt, fair, and impartial in its Investigation and resolution of sexual misconduct reports. College officials involved will discharge their obligations under these procedures fairly and impartially. Identified conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the College, addressed and, if necessary, other appropriate individuals will be designated to fill the role of a potentially conflicted official. Sexual misconduct investigations are conducted by trained investigator(s) or other officials who receive training on issues related to sexual misconduct.
The Title IX Coordinator or his/her designee will choose one or more investigator(s) to review and investigate all details of a complaint. The investigator(s) are trained staff, faculty, or attorneys that will be chosen based on availability and knowledge of the case. The Dean of Students can serve as an investigator, as deemed appropriate by the Title IX Coordinator. Both the complainant and the respondent may petition, in writing, to the Title IX Coordinator to have any investigator removed on the basis of bias or a conflict of interest. In the event that any investigator needs to be removed from the investigation for any reason, an alternative investigator will be selected by the Title IX Coordinator. If a sexual misconduct complaint is filed during the summer, members of the previous investigation teams may be called to serve as investigator(s).
Statements, Evidence, and Witnesses
At the outset of the sexual misconduct complaint investigation, the complainant and respondent are both given the opportunity to submit a written statement regarding the incident. This includes identifying potential witnesses or those who may have relevant information about the investigation (the "incident statement"). These incident statements will be provided to the investigator and are accessible to each party for review upon request.
Any party receiving any written statements, including the incident statement, or information gathered during the investigation must keep such written material or information confidential. The written material may be shared with a complainant or respondent's support person or advisor. However, written material may not be disclosed to any person without the consent of the complainant, respondent, and the college. While the college seeks to keep all written accounts of the incident confidential, complainants and respondents can talk freely about the incident. The college encourages complainants and respondents to seek the counsel of those they trust. Any written material or information received by any party in the course of the sexual misconduct investigation or administrative review proceedings must be returned to the college upon final resolution of the sexual misconduct complaint. Failure to return written material or information may result in separate disciplinary action.
In addition to providing written incident statements to the investigator(s), the investigation may involve in-person interviews with the complainant, the respondent, or other identified witnesses. During the investigation, both the respondent and the complainant may identify relevant witnesses. Witnesses must have observed the acts in question or have information relevant to the incident and cannot be participating solely to speak about an individual's character. If it is clear a witness would not contribute relevant information about the case, the investigator(s) may choose not to interview the witness. Generally, each party has a right to know the witnesses identified by the other party. However, if there are compelling safety reasons, a witness' identity may not be revealed to a party. These interviews will be kept confidential and will be conducted by the investigator(s) on an individual basis. The first investigatory interviews will be scheduled as soon as possible in order to capture as much timely information as possible.
Also during the investigation, the parties are encouraged to provide any other relevant evidence, including but not limited to, correspondence between the parties and physical evidence. Before the investigation closes, the complainant may, in addition to the initial written incident statement, write an impact statement. The impact statement will provide the investigator(s) with information about the incident and provide the complainant an opportunity to express the impact of the alleged sexual misconduct.
Before the investigation closes, the respondent may write a responsive statement that provides information on the incident in light of the allegations made by the complainant. This written responsive statement is in addition to any initial written incident statement provided by the respondent.
Investigation Summary Report
At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator(s) will prepare a written investigation summary report based on interviews with the complainant, respondent, witnesses, and other materials reviewed. In order to prevent those involved from having to recall their experience more times than necessary, the investigator(s) will attempt to include all relevant information in their investigation summary report. The investigation summary report will provide detailed information, will identify potential policy violations, and will assess areas of agreement and disagreement between the parties, witnesses, and other available information. While the investigator(s) may identify possible policy violations, the investigator(s) do not make any findings or determinations of responsibility.
The complainant and the respondent will both have an opportunity to review the investigation summary report. The college will notify each party in writing when the investigation summary is available and the party may review, access, and obtain copies of the investigation summary report at a time and place designated by the college. The complainant and the respondent may provide written comments within seven (7) business days after the receipt of the investigation summary report. This review period may be extended for good cause shown by either party. The college may request and/or require the investigator(s) to conduct additional investigation or follow-up as appropriate, based on the written comments of the parties. If follow-up is appropriate, the investigation summary report may be amended to reflect additional information or to make necessary edits or corrections, as appropriate. The final investigation summary report is then submitted to the Title IX Coordinator and Dean of Students.
Administrative Review Panel
Following review of the investigation report by the Title IX Coordinator and Dean of Students, the complaint will progress to an administrative review panel. The college will appoint an administrative review panel of three (3) individuals comprised of one faculty member, one staff member, and one student to determine whether the respondent is responsible for a violation of the sexual misconduct policy. If the respondent is found responsible for violating the sexual misconduct policy, the administrative review panel, in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator, will determine the consequences and/or sanctions to be imposed.
If the respondent or complainant has reason to believe that any member of the administrative review panel has a perceived bias or conflict of interest, they can submit, in writing to the Dean of Students, a request to change any member of the panel at any point in this process. This request will be reviewed by the Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator and, if necessary, another panel member will be designated.
The administrative review process will be conducted in the following manner:
- The administrative review panel will receive all investigation materials from the investigator(s) for review. These materials include any statements, interviews, and material evidence submitted during the investigation process, as well as the investigation summary report.
- The administrative review panel, or its designee, may request more information from any parties/students, including the complainant, the respondent, or identified witnesses, involved in the case. Both parties will be notified of any additional interviews. Alternatively, the administrative review panel may not need to speak to the complainant, the respondent, and/or identified witnesses involved in order to make a decision.
- The administrative review panel is only able to make decisions on responsibility and/or sanctions based on the information provided during the investigation.
- After gathering and reviewing all evidence, the administrative review panel will make a determination as to whether a violation of the sexual misconduct policy has occurred. The burden of proof is the preponderance of evidence. Under this standard, responsibility is determined on a "is it more likely than not" basis.
- In order to limit information shared about students, the Dean of Students and/or Title IX Coordinator may replace student names with non-identifiable names in the report and investigation materials.
- As soon as possible after the conclusion of the administrative review proceeding, the administrative review panel will notify the complainant and the respondent in writing that a determination has been made, and what, if any, sanctions will be imposed on the respondent (if applicable). This will be done as close to simultaneously as possible. In the event that the respondent is found to have violated a policy, the complainant will be informed of any sanctions that are directly related to the complainant (e.g., no contact order, suspension of respondent, etc.), but may not be informed of sanctions that do not directly affect the complainant.
- Any sanctions will be imposed on the respondent in accordance to the seriousness of the behavior. Sanctions may range from written reprimand to expulsion from the college.
- Complainants in sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, stalking, and relationship violence incidents have an absolute right to be informed of the outcome and sanctions of the administrative review proceeding, in writing, without condition or limitation.
Students who bring any sort of sexual misconduct complaint against faculty or staff may be informed of the outcome and sanction without limitation, because FERPA does not apply to faculty or staff information.
Remedies, Enforcement, and Sanctions
If, following the procedures outlined above, Coe College determines that sexual misconduct has occurred, the college will, as quickly as is reasonable, take such action as is appropriate to eliminate the conduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. The enforcement, including remedies and sanctions, will be based on the nature of the incident, any prior conduct violations, sanctions resulting from similar prior cases, and any other relevant facts. Depending on the severity of the case, sanctions may include but are not limited to:
- Oral or written reprimand.
- Required compliance: carrying out of a college regulation or administrative directive, such as educational activity or counseling, as a condition for avoiding further disciplinary action and/or remaining in good standing.
- Fines or restitution: reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation of property. May also take the form of college service or other compensation and may be combined with other sanctions.
- Community service: assignment to work on or off-campus.
- No contact orders.
- Removal from college housing without a refund
- Removal and/or deregistration from a class or classes without a refund
- Disciplinary warning: written notice that continuation of misconduct in general or repetition of specified conduct has been found unacceptable within the specified period of time stated in the warning. Failure to comply may be cause for further disciplinary action.
- Disciplinary probation: the most severe and serious warning a student may receive and still remain enrolled in the college. During the period of probation, disciplinary probation may be accompanied by other conditions as determined by the college. Violation of the terms of disciplinary probation or the infraction of any college regulation during the probation period may be grounds for suspension or expulsion.
- Suspension: separation from the college for a specified period of time. Readmission must be applied for and may be contingent upon compliance with specific conditions.
- Expulsion: permanent termination of enrollment from the college.
- Any other available and appropriate sanction, as set forth in the Student Reference Book.
- Termination of employment with the College
Either the complainant or the respondent has the right to appeal the administrative review panel's determination. In order to appeal, a written letter stating the purpose of the appeal must be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator's office within seven (7) business days of receiving the determination letter. The appeal letter shall consist of a concise and complete written statement of the grounds for the appeal. The appeal letter should be submitted by email to the Title IX Coordinator.
Appeals will only be considered if made on one or more of the following grounds:
- Newly discovered evidence, not available at the time evidence was presented to the administrative review panel, that would result in a different outcome;
- Procedural errors that had a material impact on the outcome; or
- Fairness of sanctions (a student may appeal specific sanctions while accepting other sanctions)
The appeal letter must state which of the aforementioned grounds the appeal is based upon. Appeals of the administrative review panel's decision shall be heard by the appeals board. The board is comprised of three individuals which include one faculty member, one staff member, and one student. All members of this board will be different from the members of the administrative review panel. Based on the appeal letter, the appeals board may deny the appeal without further consideration if it was not timely filed or not made on appropriate grounds. If the appeals board determines that an appeal should be accepted, it will notify both parties. If the appeal is accepted, the non-appealing party will be given an opportunity to respond in writing to the other party's appeal. Any response by the non-appealing party must be submitted within seven (7) business days of the receipt of the notice of acceptance of the appeal. Any written appeals or response statements will be sent to the opposing party.
Once an appeal has been accepted, the appeals board may review the appeal letter, any responses, and the record of the investigation and the administrative review process. The appeals board may also request additional interviews with the complainant, the respondent, or identified witnesses. Upon such review, the appeals board can affirm the original findings, alter the findings, and/or alter the outcome depending on the basis of the appeal. If the appeals board finds that new evidence is available or that procedural errors occurred, it can remand the case to the administrative review panel for reconsideration.
At its discretion, the appeals board can schedule an in-person appeal hearing with the complainant and the respondent present. An in-person appeal hearing will be scheduled for no sooner than the expiration of any appeal response deadline, or no sooner than two business days after receipt of any appeal response, whichever is later. In the event the appeals board determines that an in-person appeal hearing is warranted, both parties will be notified in writing of the time and place of the in-person appeal hearing. Both parties will be permitted to be present and make a statement at the in-person appeal hearing. The appellant (the appealing party) will make their statement first, followed by the appellee (the non-appealing party). The appeals board will determine whether a responsive statement by the both parties will be permitted. The appeals board is free to ask questions of either party during the in-person appeal. The parties will not be permitted to question the other party. Both parties can issue questions that they wish to be asked of the other party to the board. The board can deem whether or not the question is appropriate to be asked.
All the decisions by the appeals board shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties will be as simultaneously as possible notified of the decision of the appeals board in writing within three business days of a decision being made, and this notification will include any changes that may have been made to the prior decision.
