* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.

'Sophie managed our event with professionalism and organisation. She is clearly very experienced and brought this to every aspect of the event planning. She anticipated issues which could potentially arise so the event went very smoothly. Her presence at the event meant staff could focus on giving presentations and didn't have to worry about coordinating the event. She managed volunteers well. She also drafted speeches for a number of speakers and really showed her knowledge of our sector and her interest in our cause. Because of Sophie's good connections, we also got new guests to attend and made new relationships. Overall, Sophie was dedicated, gave good advice and ensured everything was of the utmost quality.'

The leader of al-Qaeda-linked Ahrar al-Sham Takfiri terrorist group in Syria has been killed in a double-bombing attack in the country's northwest.
Abu Abdel Rahman Salqin was killed after two unidentified bombers detonated their explosives at the terrorist group's headquarters in the Abu Talha area of the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.
Six other high ranking members of the terrorist group were also killed in the deadly incident.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has described Rahman Salqin as "one of Ahrar al-Sham's most senior leaders".
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the Thursday attack, but according to the UK-based monitoring group, the ISIL Takfiri militant group could be responsible for the bombings.
Ahrar al-Sham, one of the oldest and largest terrorist groups operating in Syria since 2011, is mostly active in the country's northwestern Idlib province.
Syria has been battling foreign-sponsored militants since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri terrorist groups has so far left over 230,000 people dead.

Variations sur un theme de Chopin
ArtistsJavier Negrin (piano)
The art of Francisco Goya blends human insight, unflinching truth, incisive satire and earthy passion, a combination which has bewitched countless people ever since the artists heyday. One fervent admirer of Goya was Catalan composer Enrique Granados. The Goyescas by Granados were inspired by his own tracings or sketches of Goyas magnificent paintings, reproductions of which are featured in this CDs artwork.
In the Goyescas, Granados fused the music of Spain, especially Castilian music, with traits from more remote origins, including the Italianate elegance of Scarlatti, who in turn had been enchanted by Spanish folk song. Reflecting Goyas paintings, these pieces explore light and shade, love and death, ranging from playfulness to aching longing to simmering passion.
More rarely heard, Frederic Mompous wonderful Varations sur un thème de Chopin are deserving of a wider audience. While Granados embraces Goyas palette in his vivid depictions, Mompous tracing is of a different kind: he draws musically on Chopins ideas, but on his own, opaque paper. What emerges is an original account of Chopins music, presented in a different light.
This is Javier Negríns second recording for Odradek Records. His disc of the Travel Preludes of Alexander Scriabin (ODRCD305) was one of the initial releases on the label when it was established in 2012. Of that album critic Norman Lebrecht said: Negrín tells a beguiling adventure story, rich in thrills and spills, and in a slightly swoony sound that is just right for these pieces.

How to obtain a voucher or credit from an airline that is located outside of the US?
Airlines based outside of the U.S. do not have "guaranteed airfare policies", so they will not reimburse you for the difference in price when re-booking at the lower available fare. Only U.S.-based carriers have guaranteed airfare polices (within their Contract of Carriage) as it was born out of U.S. pricing deregulation in 1979.

Putting Ourselves Out of Business
In the next ten years, how does EGM serve 38 countries where 75% of the children live? The answer — equip local Christian leaders! Around the world, there are Christians who are just like us: they love the Church and they love children. They want to help teachers teach children based on Moses' experiential model in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. These leaders have been called by God to reach children in their country. EGM has been called by God to help them!
How does EGM help? We ask them what they need and then help provide it. Their requests center around three questions. How do we do this? Can you provide materials and training? Can you help us financially?
There are currently 100-plus Board members, serving 12 Boards throughout the world. Since these local Christian leaders are completely autonomous in leading their ministry, we have worked diligently to give them the help them work through their local churches. By answering their three questions, I think you will see how we have helped them to self-govern.
- How do we do this? We created the "Ministry Toolbox," which provides over 150 experiential Biblical lessons to help move a new country from the startup phase to a fully functioning ministry.
- Can you provide materials and training? We provide regular communications and support. Regional Ministry Coordinators, US Staff and volunteers visit national ministries at every phase of the developing ministry to walk them through the 150 training and development lessons and provide other operational help as needed.
- Can you help us financially? We always start a new ministry with the financial help that is needed. However, the last 20 lessons in the "Ministry Toolbox" are called the "Titus Project," which helps each ministry to become fully self-supporting within their country. This allows EGM to help other new countries without having an overwhelming US budget. To date, EGM ministries in 6 of the 12 countries are self-supporting between 55% and 100% of their total budget.
If EGM ceased to exist in the U.S. today, the ministry would continue in these countries because local Christian leaders have the tools and calling to accomplish God's vision for transforming children in Christ through His Church.
On behalf of the EGM Board, our current 12 Boards around the world… and the 25 more to come, I say, "Thanks! Keep on praying!"
By David Sanger, Secretary, EGM Board of Directors

Example text
As noted in (68b), the main stresses of the different words in a syntactic collocation are not all the same. Rather, they are subject to rules that enhance the stress of one word in the collocation above the rest. A simple example is provided by the effects of the Nuclear Stress Rule of English illustrated in (70). (70) a. b. c. 17 Hence, in (70a) the main stress of poison is greater than that of formaldehyde. Since the main stress of formaldehyde is of degree 3, the main stress of poison in (70a) must be of degree 4.
1 Line Conflation and the Stress Patterns of Eastern Cheremis and Turkish Almost all examples discussed to this point have involved instances where words have both primary and subsidiary stresses. There are, of course, numerous languages with but a single stressed syllable in each word. 1, where their stress patterns were captured by constructing unbounded constituents over the positions on line 0. It might be thought that this is typical of such languages 1 Davis (1985) argues that the Western Aranda stress facts provide an example where properties of the syllable onset affect the location of stress.
Hale and White Eagle express this rule in the transformational format given in (62) and exemplify it by the forms in (63), in which the epenthetic vowels are marked with arrowheads. (62) 37 38 (63) a. 'you are ill' 'you pull taut' b. 'you promise' 'flat bug' 'you dress, prepare' 'you don't dress' Page 32 'the fact that you do not dress' 'spherical bug' As illustrated in (64), there is a fundamental difference between the examples in (63a) and those in (63b). In the forms in (63a) none of the epenthetic vowels is stressed and the vowels stressed by the regular rule of Constituent Construction remain unaffected by epenthesis (see (64a)).

The snowcean is right around the corner ;)!
The snowcean is right around the corner ;)!
According to a German legend the snow was the only thing left after all things in the world already got their color. The snow then asked around if anything would be willing to share its color. The earth did not answer at all, the grass pretended not to hear the snow and the rose was too haughty to share its color. Heavy-hearted the snow continued its journey. At the edge of a forest it met a tiny white flower and asked if it would be willing to share its beautiful color. 'Why not, take as much as you need' answered the flower and thus the snow got its color and the tiny flower the name snowdrop as well as the privilege to bloom first without being hurt by the snow.

Cardinal Softball To Open With Robert Morris In NCAA Tournament
May 15, 2005
Stanford, Calif. - The Stanford softball team was named the No. 6 seed overall in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship today when the NCAA Division I Softball Committee announced the 64-team field. The Cardinal, champions of the Pac-10 Conference, are 40-14 and will open play on Friday, May 20, against Robert Morris (29-20-1) in Columbia, Missouri. Missouri and Southern Illinois round out the four teams at the regional.
The tentative schedule is as follows for Friday's games: Missouri vs. Southern Illinois at 2 p.m.; Stanford vs. Robert Morris at 6 p.m.
Twenty-eight conferences were awarded automatic qualification, and the remaining 36 slots were filled with at-large selections to complete the bracket. The top 16 teams were seeded nationally and will play at campus sites this weekend.
Team pairings were determined by geographical proximity, with the exception that teams from the same conference were not paired during regional competition, when possible.
The Pacific 10 and Big 12 led all conferences with eight teams in the championship, while the Southeastern Conference placed six teams. Fresno State remains the only team to be selected to all 24 championships. Eight teams are making their initial appearances in the tournament: Albany (New York), Central Florida, College of Charleston, Loyola Marymount, Miami (Ohio), Robert Morris, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Only seven schools have been crowned champion, all of which are in this year's bracket, including two-time defending champion UCLA.

Some days you wake up happy, some days you can feel a bit sad. Sometimes your skin is radiant and other times it's really not. Energy levels vary and your libido too! These changes aren't just random – your Menstrual cycle may have more to do with how you are feeling than you think!
Your menstrual cycle is a monthly chain of events which lead to your uterus preparing for a pregnancy and having a period if conception does not occur. What exactly controls your cycles and why are you feeling good some days and lethargic or irritable on others?
Your cycle is under the control of hormones released by your ovaries. The two main female hormones are called Oestrogen and Progesterone. There are two hormones released by the pituitary gland in the brain – FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinising Hormone) which help control release a healthy egg from one of your ovaries each month.
The cycle begins on Day 1 of your period and a healthy menstrual cycle lasts from 21 -35 days. Your Oestrogen levels are at their lowest day 1 and the few days before your period. Oestrogen makes you feel good so you can often feel lethargic and your mood may be lower just prior to and during your period.
Following your period, in the first half of the cycle (Day 5 onwards) Oestrogen levels start to rise which encourages the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to thicken in preparation for a pregnancy. As Oestrogen levels rise you may also feel more relaxed and your skin may start to glow.
At around day 14 (or 2 weeks prior to your expected period) your Oestrogen levels peak and an egg is released (ovulation) by one of your ovaries. Some women notice a slight sharp pain or lower abdominal discomfort at this time however some women have no symptoms at all. You may also notice an increase in libido at this time and some women feel more confident at this time. (You might notice increased clear watery discharge at this time also).
The egg released sits in the fallopian tube for up to 24 hours. There is a peak of Progesterone in the second half of your cycle and this coincides with sore boobs and bloating. This Progesterone prepares the lining of the uterus (endometrium) for an embryo to implant if needed.
After Day 21, your Progesterone and Oestrogen levels start to drop if the egg isn't fertilised and some women experience symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) which can make you feel sad or irritable. In the absence of hormones, the endometrium sheds. This is your period and the cycle starts all over again. The sudden drop of hormones can lead to mood swings, tiredness, headaches and difficulty sleeping.
Of course, if you are taking oral contraception this will change things and will usually keep things more stable throughout the month. However, during the 'pill free break' and period you may experience PMS-like symptoms such as headaches, mood disturbance and breast tenderness due to hormone withdrawal.

Tuesday, November 28, 2006
I have an embarrassing secret vice. No, not midnight trips to the casino, or a crack habit, and I have never made a porn video. It is The Bachelor. I watch that cheesy, pathetic, utterly mesmerizing show. I saw the final episode of The Bachelor Rome Monday night. It made me gag, but I could not turn it off. Prince Lorenzo chose Jen and sent the virgin Sadie packing. After he shed feeble, very fake tears of anguish.
A work colleague of mine shares this furtive habit. Tuesday mornings, there we are, two middle age civil servants whispering over the water cooler.
He: "Hey, pssst, did you see who got a rose last night?"
Me: "Yeah, but what about that cat fight at the pool!"
He: "I know, Karen damn near fell out of her bikini. I could hardly breathe."
And then this morning, in whispers:
Me: "So Jen won, what a shock".
He: "I know, it was unbelievable! He gave up the chance to pop a cherry!"
O.K., so my male colleague's interest in watching this crap may be somewhat understandable. Mine is inexplicable. Maybe I can find a Beat the Bachelor Habit support group somewhere. Monday nights we would gather and chant: "We are powerless over this despicable T.V. program." Which we would then all rush home to covertly watch on tape. Because the next ONE, well he is a naval officer and a doctor. Gotta go. I feel a swoon coming on.

Author Guidelines
Arab Journal of Forensic Sciences & Forensic Medicine (AJFSFM)
The Arab Journal of Forensic Sciences & Forensic Medicine (AJFSFM) is a peer-reviewed, open access (CC BY-NC), an international journal for publishing original contributions in various fields of forensic science. These fields include, but are not limited to forensic pathology and histochemistry, toxicology (drugs, alcohol, etc.), forensic biology (serology, human DNA profiling, entomology, population genetics), forensic chemistry (inks, paints, dyes, explosives, fire accelerants), psychiatry and hypnotics, forensic anthropology and archeology, forensic odontology, fingerprints and impressions, firearms and tool marks, white collar crimes (counterfeit and forgery; questioned documents), digital forensics; cyber-crimes, criminal justice and crime scene investigation, as well as many other disciplines where science and medicine interact with the law.
Article Types
Original Research Paper: Full-length research report of an original study, carried out prospectively or retrospectively, by an individual scientist or the collaboration of a group of scientists, reporting innovative findings that further the knowledge about a topic important to the forensic science.
Review Article: This type of publication consists of work based on summarizing and synthesizing knowledge in a specific area carried out by other scientists who already have an understanding of the topic; however, the authors of a review article would normally have worked and published primary literature in the area they are writing about. A review article should include a critical assessment of the works cited, explanations of conflicts in the literature, and analysis of the field.
Technical / Brief Notes: This type of publication describes technical aspects of a field or a report on a procedure or method, or work based on validation of methodologies or techniques.
Case Reports: This is a brief description or analysis of one or more cases related to forensic science or forensic medicine.
Rapid Communications: This type of publication consists of research work that extends previously published research, including the reporting of additional controls and confirmatory results in other settings, as well as negative results. Authors must clearly acknowledge any previous work, both published and unpublished, upon which the current research work was based.
Letter to the editor: Letters may discuss previously published material or commentaries in the Arab Journal of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Medicine (AJFSFM) or any issue of interest to the Arab Society for Forensic Sciences and Forensic Medicine (ASFSFM). Letters commenting on the published material are shared with the original authors to give them an opportunity to respond.
Response to Letter: This is a response from the author to a letter commenting on previously published work. It is usually written by the author of that work.
Editorial or Invited Commentary: This is a commentary on a specific topic or issue written by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) or by someone else upon the special invitation of the EIC.
Book Reviews: Review of a book or other publication of interest to the scientific community in the fields of forensic science, forensic medicine, and criminalistics. These articles provide a description of the book being reviewed, the strengths and weaknesses of the book, and the intended audience.
Conference Proceedings: Conference Proceedings are a compilation of research papers presented at a scientific meeting, symposium, or conference and are produced from the manuscripts received from authors.
Terms and Conditions of Publishing in the AJFSFM
The journal welcomes original contributions from scholars, researchers, academics, and forensic science practitioners from all over the world, under the following terms and conditions:
- Papers must be written in Arabic or English.
- Papers written in Arabic should also have an abstract in English. Similarly, manuscripts prepared in English must also have an Arabic abstract.
- Authors who cannot provide abstract in the Arabic language should submit a written request to the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) at the time of manuscript submission for the Arabic translation of the abstract written in English.
- Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that the manuscript has not been submitted for publication elsewhere in Arabic or English unless it was a conference paper. If it was a conference paper, then this should be noted together with a statement that the paper has been completely re-written and that either:
- It was not originally copyrighted or
- That the author has cleared any necessary permission with the copyright owner if it has been previously copyrighted.
- Previous publication in another language should also be disclosed.
- All papers are refereed, and the Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to refuse any manuscript, whether on the invitation or otherwise, and to make suggestions and/or modifications before publication.
- AJFSFM place great emphasis on the originality and quality of the papers published in this journal. Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the EIC who has the authority to reject the paper or he can refer to one of the Associate Editors (AE) for further review. The AE evaluates the paper and decides whether it describes a sufficient body of work to support a major advance in a particular field. If the AE does not judge the manuscript suitable for the journal, alone or in consultation with other AEs, the manuscript may be rejected outright, without external peer review, with the reasons outlined in the decision letter sent to the author. If the AE does judge the manuscript suitable for the journal, it will then be subjected to external peer review with the consent of EIC.
Peer-Review Process
A full double-blind refereeing process is applied in which papers are sent to 3-4 experts for their peer review. The opinions of up to three experts are sought to evaluate the manuscript fully with respect to its significance, relevance, quality, and clarity. On receipt of all reviewer comments, and potentially further consultation amongst other editors, a decision is rendered by the AE and co-signed by the EIC, who will send the decision to the corresponding author. The whole process may take 2-3 months.
Possible decisions include:
- Accept
- Accept with minor revision
- Accept with major revision
- Reject
For papers, which require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable.
Revisions deadline
- Please note that articles that are sent back to the author for revision need to be returned within 60 days (and within 20 days for subsequent revisions). A reminder will be sent in the second month. Any articles that are received after the two-month period of revision will be considered a re-submission.
- AJFSFM shall furnish authors of accepted papers with proofs for the correction of printing errors. The proofs shall be returned within 14 calendar days of submittal. Reviewers and the AJFSFM shall not be held responsible for errors, which are the result of author's oversight.
- Use for commercial purposes of the article is strictly prohibited. For detailed instructions regarding the preparation of manuscripts, an online submission, and author/publishing guidelines, kindly visit: http://journals.nauss.edu.sa/index.php/AJFSFM/issue/current and
Manuscript Preparation
he AJFSFM requirements for manuscript publication are generally in accordance with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org). These requirements may also be found in the introductory issue of the AJFSFM, the Journal of Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (http://www.jpharmacol.com), Saudi Medical Journal (http://www.smj.org.sa), and many other journals. The AJFSFM guidelines integrate the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, and are intended to help authors prepare their papers to meet the specific requirements of the AJFSFM so that their work may proceed smoothly through the publication process. Manuscripts may be written in English or Arabic and submitted online: http://journals.nauss.edu.sa.
Text Formatting
Manuscript, including title page, abstract, the main text, conclusion, acknowledgments, references, individual tables and legends, must be typewritten (Times New Roman) with a font size of 12, on 8 1/2 x 11 inch (21.5 x 28 cm) or size A4 paper, with margins of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) and double spacing. Insert page numbers consecutively, beginning with the title page. Put the page number in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
Tables, figures and figure legends are uploaded as separate files on the manuscript submission website. Figure legends should be included on a separate page from the figures themselves. If the abstract is not typed directly into Manuscript Central, please submit that as a separate upload. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a covering letter signed by the author and all co-authors. The AJFSFM recommends that authors should consider having their manuscripts professionally edited prior to submission; even more so for authors for whom English is a second language.
Word Limits
Original articles should be up to 5000 words, (excluding abstract and references), and have no more than six figures and tables.
Review articles should have a maximum length up to 6000 words, (excluding abstract and references), plus 4-5 tables or figures. Subheadings should be used within the article to highlight the content of different sections.
Case reports should be prepared in a narrative style and comprise an abstract; a short introduction stating the reasons for reporting the case; the case report including history, investigations and outcomes; and a discussion referring to the relevant literature. Maximum length 2000 words with no more than two figures and tables.
Letters to the Editor may deal with comments on recently published papers in the journal or other observations that the authors may feel warrants publication. These are usually up to 800 words.
Shot communications are limited to 3000 words and are not subdivided. The paper should contain an abstract, main body and references, and contain no more than 6 figures or tables, combined.
Images in Forensics should include a brief description, no longer than 1200 words, of a particular finding in a "Case Report" format with high quality images, followed by a separate discussion of the features of the lesion/injury/finding
Editorials referring to research published elsewhere in that issue of the journal, or to important events in the specialty. Editorials are usually commissioned. Maximum length 1600 words.
Title Page Information
Title. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems and, therefore, the title of the submitted work should be concise, informative and both in Arabic and English. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publishing, also post-publication. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract should be bilingual (English & Arabic). Authors who cannot provide abstract in Arabic language should submit a written request to the Editor-in-Chief at the time of manuscript submission for the Arabic translation of the abstract written in English. Each abstracts should be no more than 200 words. Although the AJFSFM uses unstructured abstracts; however, the abstract should include the following – background, brief description of methods and results (give specific data and their statistical significance, if possible), and conclusion. Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations. The word "Abstract" should be in Title case and bolded.
Authors should write their Arabic summaries using terms according to the Unified Medical Dictionary (Council of Arab Ministers of Health/WHO/Arab Medical Union ALESCO, 3rd ed.). Important observations and findings must be made clear.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, that will aid in cross-indexing the article. The first keyword must be forensic science; other keywords must enable abstracters to properly categorize the manuscript so interested researchers can easily find it in journal article data bases.
Use terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of Index Medicus; recent terms may be used if not on the list. Frequently, the second keyword is a subfield of forensic science, e.g. forensic anthropology, forensic pathology, or DNA typing. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.
Text Structure
The text of observational and experimental articles is usually – but not necessarily – divided into sections with headings. AJFSFM make use of headings which include Introduction, Methods (or Materials and Methods), Results, Discussion and Conclusion.
Long articles may need subheadings within the sections to clarify their content, especially the Results and Discussion sections. Other types of articles, such as Case Reports are likely to need different headings and subheadings. Generally, avoid overuse of subheadings, especially in the Methods section. Headings should be numbered, bolded and subheadings italicized.
This must include the adequate background and objectives of the work, avoiding a detailed literature surveys or lengthy result summaries of previously published relevant studies.
Materials and Methods
Experimental methods must be presented in a concise and informative way with enough detail to enable the work to be reproduced. Any published methods must have references and modifications should be described. In studies of diagnostic accuracy, the methods section should mention the inclusion and exclusion criteria of patients or healthy subjects involved in the study together with information on patient recruitment. Textual re-use of portions of an author's previous work in the methods section will be considered, providing that an explanatory note is included with appropriate referencing: "The methods are exactly as published in the previous publication....".
Statistical Analysis
Any calculation sections must clarify a practical development taken from a theoretical basis. The author(s) should adequately describe or reference all statistical procedures used in the current study in a paragraph at the end of the methods section. It is expected that the statistical tests used are appropriately selected and applied, with an indication of the related assumptions and how they have been tested. The ambiguous use of statistical terms should be avoided such as random with the meaning of haphazard, correlation instead of association, etc. In presenting results, all the participants in the study must be accounted for. Exact p-values and confidence intervals are to be used.
Present results in a logical sequence according to the flow of information in the text, tables and illustrations. Do not repeat all the data in the tables or illustrations. Emphasize or summarize only important observation and avoid repetition of all of the data.
Highlight new and important aspects of the study and any conclusions based on them. Be concise and avoid repetition of any data and material given in the Introduction or the Results section. Mention the implications of the findings and any limitations, and state possible implications for future research. Other relevant studies should be linked to the observations.
Conclusions must be linked to the aims of the research and must be supported by the data. Any new hypotheses may be stated, but must be highlighted as new. Authors are free to include recommendations based on their work.
In shorter manuscripts, such as those intended to be Technical Notes or Case Reports, the Results and Discussion sections should be combined.
The Acknowledgements section immediately precedes the Reference list. Acknowledgment should conform to the Uniform Requirements for Biomedical Journals which states:
List all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship, such as a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged. Groups of persons who have contributed materially to the paper but whose contributions do not justify authorship may be listed under a heading such as "clinical investigators" or "participating investigators," and their function or contribution should be described, for example, "served as scientific advisors," "critically reviewed the study proposal," "collected data," or "provided and cared for study patients." Because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions, all persons must have given written permission to be acknowledged.
The heading of the reference list should be 'References,' and it should contain only published or in-press references cited by number (s) in the text. The References header should be bolded. Published abstracts, printed manufacturer's protocols or instructions, and World Wide Web (WWW) site URLs may be validly cited as references. However, when citing the WWW as a reference, mention the date and time of accessing the website.
Personal communications and submitted manuscripts are not valid references. Personal communications should be cited in the text, in parentheses, at the appropriate location.
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in tables, and legends by Arabic numerals. References cited only in tables or legends should be numbered in accordance with a sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure.
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
Example: '.... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ....'
List: Within the reference list, number the references 1., 2., 3., etc., in the order in which they appear in the text.
Reference Style
References should be in the Vancouver style. Further details of Vancouver style of references can be found at the following website:
Examples of correct forms of references are given below.

Legends for Tables
The AJFSFM has a slightly modified pattern of legends for tables and figures. Table legends should follow the pattern: [Table 2- Average height and weight of patient……."]. In-text: [Table-2 indicates the average height and……".]
Figures must be submitted in a neutral data format (Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or Portable Network Graphics (PNG)) with a resolution of 300 dpi. Do not use Power Point, Harvard Graphics, or PC Paint and do not import illustrations into Microsoft Word. Scanned figures must have a resolution of 300 dpi (halftone) or 600 to 1200 dpi (line drawings) relative to the reproduction size.
Figures should be numbered consecutively (in Arabic numerals) in the order in they are cited in the text. If a figure has been previously published, acknowledge the original source and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce previously published material. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief if any changes are made to figures after submission.
Legends for Illustrations
Legends must be submitted as a separate file, double-spaced, and numbered according to the illustrations, e.g., [Figure 1- Effect of temperature on DNA concentration]. In-text: [Figure-1 shows the effect of ………]. Symbols, arrows, numbers or letters used must be clearly identified and explained in the legend. The internal scale and method of staining in photomicrographs must be explained.
Units of Measurement
Measurements of volume, height, length, and weight must be reported in metric units or their decimal multiples. Temperatures must be represented in degrees Celsius. Blood pressures must be represented in millimeters of mercury. The International System of Units (SI) must be used to report all hematologic and clinical chemistry measurements. Non-metric units are only permitted if commonly used in a specialist field.
Abbreviations and Symbols
Terms and nomenclature must adhere to standards and lists used by appropriate international committees or organizations (the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee, I.U.P.A.C., I.U.B., the Enzyme Commission, the Committee on International Standardization of Gene Nomenclature (ISGN)). The full term for an abbreviation must precede its first use in the text. Standard units of measurement may be abbreviated e.g., Liter(s) L, Micro µ etc.

Policies of the Arab Journal of Forensic Sciences & Forensic Medicine
The Arab Journal of Forensic sciences and Forensic Medicine (AJFSFM) strictly follows the publication policies of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) on Ethical Standards, Confidentiality, Conflicts of Interest.
Ethical Standards
When human subjects are involved in experimentation, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and / or with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983. Do not disclose a patient's personal information at all, especially in illustrative material. Every effort must be made to protect the anonymity of patients or victims and their families.
Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution's policy on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. The Arab Journal of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Medicine (AJFSFM) is committed to following and upholding the highest standards of research and publication ethics, international guidelines, procedures, and policies [such as outlined by the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE), and Office of Research Integrity (ORI)] when dealing with any case of suspected ethical misconduct. If such a case arises, the Journal may share relevant information with necessary third parties (for example, authors' institutes). All information is treated in a strict confidential, factual, and non-judgmental manner. The AJFSFM will also retain the right to pursue any issues of ethical misconduct even after rejection or withdrawal of a manuscript from the Journal.
Confidentiality (adapted from the ICMJE Statement on Confidentiality)
Manuscripts should be reviewed with due respect for authors' confidentiality. In submitting their manuscripts for review, authors entrust editors with the results of their scientific labor and creative effort, upon which their reputation and career may depend. Authors' rights may be violated by disclosure or by revelation of the confidential details of the review of their manuscript.
Reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which must be respected by the editor. Confidentiality may have to be breached if there are allegations of fraud or dishonesty but otherwise must be honored.
The editor should not disclose information about manuscripts, including their receipt, their content, their status in the review process, their criticism by reviewers, or their ultimate fate. Such information should be provided only to authors themselves and reviewers.
The editor's makes clear to reviewers that manuscripts sent for review are privileged communications and are the private property of the authors. Therefore, reviewers and other people involved in the editorial process should respect the authors' rights by not publicly discussing the authors' work or appropriating their ideas before the manuscript is published. Reviewers are not allowed to make copies of the manuscript for their files and are prohibited from sharing it with others, except with the permission of the editor. Reviewers' identities are confidential, and will not be revealed to authors or to others. Reviewers' comments may be shared with other reviewers of the same manuscript.
Conflicts of Interest (adapted from the ICMJE Statement on Conflict of Interest)
A conflict of interest for a given manuscript exists when a participant in the peer-review and publication process – author, reviewer or Editor – has ties to activities that could inappropriately influence his/her judgment, whether or not judgment is in fact affected. Financial relationships with industry (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria or expert testimony), either directly or through immediate family, are generally considered the most important conflicts of interest. However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic or research competition, and intellectual passion.
Public trust in the peer-review process and the credibility of published work depend in part on how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer-review and editorial decision making. Bias can often be identified and eliminated by careful attention to the scientific methods and conclusions of the work. Financial relationships and their effects are less easily detected than other types of conflicts of interest. Participants in peer-review should disclose their conflicting interests, and the information should be made available so that others can judge their effects for themselves.
Authors are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial or other conflicts of interest that might bias their work when they submit a manuscript or letter. They should acknowledge in the manuscript all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections to the work.
Submission of manuscripts or commentary primarily for the purpose of bolstering an author's position as an expert witness in legal proceedings is not acceptable.
Reviewers should disclose to the editor any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and they should disqualify themselves from specific manuscripts if they believe it to be appropriate. The editor must be made aware of conflicts of interest to interpret the reviews and judge whether the reviewer should be disqualified. Reviewers must not use knowledge of the work gained during the review process, before publication of the work, to further their own interests.
The editor should have no personal financial involvement in any of the issues that he/she may be called upon to judge. Published manuscripts and letters should include a description of all financial support and any conflict of interest that, in the editor's judgment, readers should know about.

What to say?
So I just deleted the rest of my post. Maybe over a cup of coffee we can solve the problems of the world. At this point I carefully edit my thoughts as not to get myself into trouble.

I'll meet you for coffee to talk about all this! Anytime.... But I guess we will have to settle for phone yakking most of the time instead.... Sigh

Jen~ I've followed your blog for a while, but have never commented. Today, I will comment and tell you that I am praying for families like you who are stuck in this quagmire. There are no words, really, just prayers, that our God will move the mountains. We brought our daughter home from Ethiopia last January and had started to pray about another adoption. This news is a kick in the stomach to so many.
Know that lots of people are praying for some good news out of Ethiopia for the children there and for the families here!

Oh my word, what on earth would I do without you???? So thankful the Lord saw fit to take on 2 journies together. Excited to SEE His purposes revealed to each of us on this crazy road called adoption.

The occurrence of unethical adoptions, the prospect of children truly in need of homes languishing in orphanages, and people such as yourself waiting inordinate amounts of time to expand their families...it's heart breaking from every angle. Hoping and praying that there's an answer other than the one that has been floating around out there this week...XO

thinking of you...and of everyone really. i am so hopeful that somehow ethics and adoption can merge, as i know that is what most all of us want!

oh my heart is so heavy. trying not to wallow in worry but instead pray pray pray. it is hard though, to have bad news upon bad news. like you i have not known what to say, so have posted nothing. soon, perhaps...
i hurt for all the children there who could potentially be affected, and like you hope and pray that the little girl we are already in love with might come home sooner rather than later.

I am not up on all going on in the adoption world right now, but from the comments, I assume there are now problems with Ethiopian adoptions. I had heard that was coming, but don't know if it's the same thing going on. I am very familiar with the pain of delays in adoptions, but thankfully, ours occurred before shutdowns (Guatemala). I pray the Lord gives you answers and comforts your hearts.

Eastenders have recast the role of Janine Malloy's (Charlie Brooks) grandmother Lydia Simmonds following original actress Margaret Tyzack's (pictured) withdrawal from the show for personal reasons.
Earlier this year, TellyMix reported that the veteran actress had been cast as bad girl Janine's grandmother and last week, viewers saw the character make her debut on the show as Janine visited her poorly grandmother in the hospital.
However, with the departure of the actress, bosses at the BBC soap have recast the role of Lydia with actress Heather Chasen taking the reigns as the mischievous pensioner. Chasen who is famous for her roles in Z Cars, The Bill and Doctors amongst many shows, unusually, the recast will have immediate effect as bosses have promised the plot to be one of the central storylines in the show over the next few months.
Speaking about the recast, a spokesperson for the show said: ''Unfortunately, due to a personal matter, Margaret Tyzack has had to finish filming earlier than planned. In order to continue the current storyline, we've taken the decision for Heather Chasen to take over the role of Lydia. ''
Heather is to start filming on Friday with the changeover set to take place immediately. The new actress will be seen on screen in the role of Lydia from next week onwards.

This is a new game we made up last night waiting outside the cinema when a man asked me (me of all people!) to take a photo of him next to the poster for the film Jaws--which some of you know is my worst nightmare film. I convinced my parents at age 6 that it would be a good idea to let me see and and I had nightmares for years after that. I still see a picture of a shark and shudder. Don't even think of asking me to go swimming in the sea after an up close and personal encounter with a shark at age 10.
So when this dude said, "Would you take a picture of me in front of the film poster for Jaws?" I was all agreeable and friendly--mainly because I didn't think that is what he said!!! I thought he said Duel and I was thinking to myself, "When did they re-realease Duel?" Then, of course, I had to follow through.
It wasn't as bad as I thought. the image of that enormous shark coming up through the water to attack that lady swimming at the top was a familiar sight. For years as a child I obsessively drew that image by day in the hopes of exorcising the demon that would give me nightmares. Didn't work.
(at this point I had hoped to cut and paste a picture of the movie poster but the search scared me so bad as I caught sight of a gaping mouth, red gums and teeth--my heart is thumping away like a galloping horse--that I could only look at the screen over my shoulder and throught my fingers and so was not able to see an image clearly to do so.)
Anyway, Spiderman invented a game by combining my favourite film--The Wizard of Oz and my least favourite--Jaws. This is how it goes:
Cue music:
Scarecrow: And I'm sure to get a brain
Tin Man: A heart
Dorothy: A home
Cowardly Lion: The nerve
Brody: A bigger boat
So there you go. How many other films can you mash up?

What is a fitness ball? A fitness ball is used to help with exercises. It's also known as a Swiss ball. I've been using it for about 10 years now and it got the term Swiss ball from Swedish physical therapist....
It's also known as a Swiss ball. I've been using it for about 10 years now and it got the term Swiss ball from Swedish physical therapist. They were the ones that really first start using it in the rehabilitation setting, it came over to the United States, so I don't recall probably around 20 years or so ago and from there their the athletic circle started doing things with it as well. And it's just a big round ball that people will do exercise on. What's cool about it is that its creates an unstable environment and by doing that when people do lift or stretches or stability work or co-work on a fit ball not only do the muscle that do the lift have to work but also the stabilizer muscles do too. Here is an example let say somebody want to do a dumbbell press on a bench press or on a bench the muscles that are involved with the chest and the triceps are the primary these are other ones that are creating the action to take place. So they are getting stronger. But if somebody where to do the same motion lying down on a fit ball then not only do they have to engage a prime mover but the muscles around the shoulder joint and the rotator cuff muscle have to stabilize because the person is doing it on the ball that can roll back and forth. So they have to work harder and then the lower back musculature and the gluts and hamstrings also have to work hard to hold the person steady on the ball too. So they are working in a functional sense in a stabilizing sense and its kind of teaching the whole body to work as a unit. You can't get that on the bench press.
So that's the cool thing about the fit ball. I like to use that because I still think doing things on a bench are important. It's wise to isolate muscles from time to time and really just focus on the strength. But to get them to work in a functional set with the rest of the body then do some fit ball work too.
I think they are of optimal for help.
