Summer 2018 > Financial Policies and Information > Financial Aid Programs
The following is a description of the various financial aid programs available at West Coast University for students who qualify. Additional information may be obtained through the Financial Aid Office.
Federal Pell Grant: The Federal Pell Grant program provides a foundation of assistance to which other forms of aid may be added. Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant Program is determined by a standard need-analysis formula that is revised and approved every year by the federal government. Student must be enrolled in an undergraduate program and may not already have a bachelor's or professional degree. Unlike loans, grants do not have to be paid back. The maximum Federal Pell Grant for 2017-2018 is $5,920 per academic year. A student can receive a Federal Pell Grant for no more than 12 semesters or the equivalent.
Federal Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant: The Federal Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant is offered to students who are not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant on the basis of their Expected Family Contribution as calculated from FAFSA data, but meet the remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility requirements. In order to qualify, students must have had a parent or guardian in the U.S. armed forces that died as a result of military service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11. The student must have been under 24 years old or enrolled in college at least part-time at the time of the parent or guardian's death.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are available to a limited number of students with exceptional financial need. Grants are based on funds available and do not have to be repaid. Need is determined by the financial resources of the student's family and the cost of attendance.
Federal Work-Study (FWS): The Federal Work-Study program provides jobs for graduate and undergraduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses. The program encourages community service work related to the student's course of study. Funds under this program are limited. Students who indicate on their annual FAFSA that they are interested in FWS, and are otherwise eligible, will be awarded FWS funds; however, students must contact the Student Affairs Office to apply to and be hired for a specific job opportunity in order to receive funds.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan: Under the Federal Direct Loan (FDL) program the University certifies eligibility for each loan, and sends the loan details to the U.S. Department of Education. Loan proceeds are disbursed to the University electronically and then posted to the student's account. Students must repay the loan with interest to the servicer assigned by the U.S. Department of Education after the loan is disbursed.
Eligible students will be awarded estimated student loan amounts based on FAFSA submission and the standard need-analysis formula. Students must complete and submit a Master Promissory Note (MPN) to the Department of Education before loans will be processed. First time loan borrowers must also complete student loan entrance counseling prior to funds being disbursed. Both the MPN and loan counseling are available online at www.studentloans.gov.
Federal Subsidized Direct Loan: Federal Direct Subsidized loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. Students may borrow up to $3,500 for their first academic year, $4,500 for the second academic year, and $5,500 for the third and fourth academic years, at a fixed interest rate which is established annually by the U.S. Department of Education. Current interest rates can be found at https://studentloans.gov. The interest is paid by the federal government while students are in school. Interest begins accruing at the time students cease full-time enrollment or fail to carry at least one-half the normal full-time University workload. Regular payments begin six months after students cease enrollment or fail to carry at least one-half the normal full-time University workload. First-time borrowers may not receive this type of loan for more than 150 percent of the length of their program of study; U.S. Department of Education may stop paying interest if student who received Direct Subsidized Loans for maximum period continues enrollment.
Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan: Unsubsidized Direct loans are available for students to borrow for additional education costs. Independent undergraduate students can borrow up to $9,500 for their first academic year, $10,500 for the second academic year and $12,500 for their third and fourth academic years, as a combined total with the Federal Subsidized Direct loan. Dependent undergraduate students can borrow up to $5,500 for their first academic year as a combined total with the Federal Subsidized Direct loan, $6,500 for their second academic year and $7,500 for their third and fourth academic years. Graduate students can borrow $20,500 each academic year. Interest rates are fixed and established annually by the U.S. Department of Education. Current interest rates can be found at https://studentloans.gov. With the exception of demonstrating financial need and undergraduate status, borrowers must meet all eligibility criteria of the Federal Subsidized Direct loan program. Interest payments begin immediately after the loan is fully disbursed or may be added to the principal balance. Regular payments begin six months after students cease enrollment or fail to carry at least one-half the normal full-time school workload.
Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS): Federal Parent Loans for undergraduate students provide additional funds for credit-worthy parents to help pay for students' educational expenses. Interest rates are fixed and established annually by the U.S. Department of Education. Current interest rates can be found at https://studentloans.gov. Repayment begins immediately after the loan is fully disbursed.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans for Graduate Students (GRAD PLUS): Federal Graduate PLUS Loans for students pursuing a graduate or professional degree provide additional funds for credit-worthy graduate students to help pay for students' educational expenses. If a student has no credit or a poor credit history, he/she may still qualify for a loan buy applying with a credit-worthy endorser. Interest rates are fixed and established annually by the U.S. Department of Education. Current interest rates can be found at https://studentloans.gov. Repayment begins immediately after the loan is fully disbursed.
California Campuses:
Cal Grant Program: Cal Grant A and B are State grant programs administered by the State of California and are available to eligible undergraduate students who have applied before the March 2nd deadline. Student eligibility must be approved by the California Student Aid Commission. Grants are based on funds available from the State and do not have to be repaid. All Cal Grant payments are credited to the student's account to cover outstanding tuition fees, and supplies. However, a student may request direct payment of his or her Cal Grant B access funds up to the date the fund transaction actually occurs.
Chafee Grant Program: The California Chafee Grant for Foster Youth is a grant program administered by the State of California. To qualify, the student must be a current or former foster youth and not have reached his or her 22nd birthday as of July 1st of the award year. The court must have established dependency for the student between the ages of 16 and 18. (KinGap youth, adopted youth, guardian placement, and voluntary placement may not be eligible for the Chafee Grant, unless court dependence was established, at anytime, between the ages of 16 and 18.) The California Department of Social Services will verify an applicant's foster youth eligibility status. Chafee Grant payments will be credited to the student's account at West Coast University to cover tuition, fees, and supplies. Excess Chafee Grant funds may be used to pay for child care, rent, or transportation while attending school. The Chaffee Grant is federally and state funded and is subject to the availability of funds each year.
More information about Cal Grants and Chafee awards is available online athttps://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/logon.asp.
West Coast University offers several scholarship and grant opportunities to students. To be eligible for WCU scholarships or grants, students must be admitted to the University and meet any fund-specific eligibility requirements. Unless otherwise noted, all WCU scholarships and grants are applied toward university tuition and fees. Funds are limited and not all who apply will receive an award. There is no cash value for institutional awards. Students who receive an award but withdraw prior to completion of their academic degree programs will forfeit future disbursements.
Specific scholarship and grant opportunities are detailed in the next section of this catalog.
Private loans are available to students through various lending institutions to help pay educational expenses. Private loans, which are not insured by the federal government, have repayment terms that vary depending on the lender from which you borrow. West Coast University encourages students to explore federal and state grants and loans, and to consider the anticipated monthly loan payments along with expected future earnings before considering a private education loan. Federal student loans are required by law to provide a range of flexible repayment options and loan forgiveness benefits, which private student loans are not required to provide.
Generally, private loans require that the borrower is a U.S. Citizen, a U.S. national, or a permanent resident and must be creditworthy. International students are eligible with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident) and appropriate U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service documentation. If the student has no credit or a poor credit history, he/she may still qualify for a loan by applying with a creditworthy co-borrower.
Most lenders expect you to have a qualified co-borrower before they will approve the loan. Interest rates and repayment terms vary between private lenders. West Coast University does not make any recommendations regarding private lender selection for students who decide to pursue private loan options. Students may borrow from any lender. Be sure to research and review each lender's terms and conditions before making a final decision. A list of lenders previously used by WCU students is available at http://www.elmselect.com/, along with terms and conditions for each private lender.

As reported by Frank Michlick on DNN Verisign plans to provide a batched service which allows registrars to upload a list of names, and in return receive a report which lists which names encounter "lookup traffic" over a certain period of time.
It's a natural progression I suppose.. It would create much less load on Verisign registry infrastructure that the large scale acquisition and deletion of domain names via traditional domain tasting and would provide similar data.
That lower server and bandwidth load should allow for diminished overhead costs that the Verisign registry could pass on to registrants in the form of lower name purchase and renewal costs ... Don't count on that last part though.

The warmer weather has finally arrived. Last week, I was attempting to lure the warm front out direction through the power of suggestion. After a very cold weekend camping in the snow with my family, I bought some potted flowers for our classroom. I think the sight of their vibrant color gave me the illusion of warmth. In all honesty, I just wanted a little bit of proof that Spring had truly arrived.
For the next few days, our room had a heavenly smell. Luckily, none of the children presented any symptoms of allergies. They took delight in noticing the small changes within the flowers each day. A few children took it upon themselves to draw the flowers. Some began drawing and then drifted away to find a new focus. At least two students sat and drew variations on the same flower for over 30 minutes.
Now, as the weather finally warms up and our class flowers begin wilting, we look forward to finding native flowers along our Northbound Trail and within our fields.

"Financial investment is the no. 5 driver of category management performance. Yet only 30% of respondents say they have enough…"
Our analysis demonstrates this is the fifth most important driver of category management and ultimately firm performance. The statement was "Our financial investment in Category Management is sufficient to deliver our expectations". Overall only 30% of respondents agreed their financial investment in category management was sufficient to deliver their expectations. So we have a situation where returns could double or triple, or more, depending on your company's starting point, so the business case is relatively easy to make, but financial investment to enable it for more than two thirds of respondents is not enough.
Interestingly even the Leaders did not have a positive response to this either, with 53% of them saying the investment was not enough to fully deliver, which is why they also still feel opportunity is left on the proverbial table. This compares with 24% of Followers.
New Year's Resolution No. 8: Our analysis demonstrates that obtaining investment is a top driver of performance and should be targeted as a priority if you are one of the 70% of organisations that have yet to do so. The scale of change required to implement category management can be substantial. Ongoing headcount budget may be required due to increases in the number and experience levels of the team. External support may also be needed to provide new methodologies and ongoing training and coaching. Organisations often recognise the opportunity for change when a new CPO is appointed. They construct business cases that directly link the investment in category management to an uplift in savings from the function along with other benefits.
Investment in category management makes the transition from Follower to Leader more likely to happen and quicker. So along with the advice for making a business case in New Year's Resolution No. 2, to show the potential return, make sure you outline what investment you need in people, systems and processes as well.

When contemplating supplements, women want to consider bones, babies, and bellies.

I speak about these, and cinnamon, like you mention on this lens, on my newly published lens about herbs to treat sort II diabetes. When it comes to supplements, there is such a issue as too considerably," and it's not excellent. I was in ideal wellness right after I had my son in 2013, I was trying to drop some infant weight, and following using the HCG/omni diet program drops for almost a year, I almost achieved my purpose, but the value I had to spend with the physical side effects haunts me now day-to-day. Tess and Gracie lounge on their blankets during cookouts and are starting to become farm pugs in their new property. Hyperlink, my eight year old cat, was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few months ago. Surgery & recovery lasted all together about 3 hours, but the pain lasted for days! I took her to my regular vet the day after when he prescribed the anti-inflammitory meds. Excellent work and thanks for sharing…I'm going to attempt one thing equivalent over the subsequent 6 weeks. This supplement is not frequently found on store shelves, and hardly ever supplied in a pharmaceutical grade kind. This is an critical Lens – thanks – I use cinnemon to handle blood sugar. It is particularly essential when purchasing herbal supplements and remedies to purchase from a reliable company with a strong background in herbal medicine that takes good quality manage seriously.
I am going longer but bare with me. Now remember I had been symptom cost-free for 5 month and then had one particular of the worst cramping pains followed by the most sever burning pain I had seasoned. I have just began taking normal approach supplements for ibs and have currently observed a difference. There are a lot of a lot of several rewards associated with taking regular doses of Fish Oil supplements. It amazed me, whilst some folks are nonetheless browsing on-line for data on how to make money promoting supplements from property these who are currently in this variety of business are locating it challenging to earn added revenue selling from house. There are numerous nutritional health supplements on the marketplace that include a lot of fillers and synthetic components that can place pressure on the physique just attempt them, namely the digestive tract, kidneys and liver treat. In early 1991, I.M. Cox, M.J. Campbell, and D. Dowson published a preliminary study on magnesium levels in CFS/ME individuals (Lancet, 1991). I have been looking for a homemade diet regime as she seems to like human meals greater than the dog meals. Prime members get unlimited deliveries at no additional cost. I want in much pain when I 1st began seeing my GI physician. The Antioxidant Function of Glutathione and N-Acetyl-Cysteine Supplements and Workout-Induced Oxidative Pressure." Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2005, two:38-44. Supplements discovered in grocery stores and lining the shelves of vitamin shops are not held to any heavy mandates or quality requirements.
Lu WZ, Gwee KA, Moochalla S, Ho KY. Melatonin improves bowel symptoms in female sufferers with irritable bowel syndrome: a double-blind placebo-controlled study." Aliment Pharmacol Ther. I discovered a lot from it. Thanks for performing the study! The influence of a rational use of dietary supplements can also help reduce condition care. We also went over protocol for specifically what I need to do if I commence to miscarry. Your preferred supplements or brands may possibly not be right here. Utilizes IN CFS/ME: Rich Van Konynenburg has proposed that in CFS/ME there is a partial block of the methylation cycle. These herbal pain relievers combine Ayurvedic herbs such as ginger and turmeric with lemon bioflavonoids and vitamin C. The anti-inflammatory herbs support maintain the body's tension response down, whilst the vitamin C assists support the muscles and connective tissue that hold the spine in place. You want supplements that work and you want good worth for your income. If you are going to residence cook and feed an all-meat diet regime, I would seek the advice of with a nutritionist to make certain that this is balanced ( is a great spot to start off with a telephone consult).

It is only been a week but I will take 1 day at a time and be happy that I am pain-totally free ! Supplements have an important function, but the first step must be to discover ways to improve the intake from familiar and preferred foods. I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum yesterday and this is my 1st child.

Pricey procedures, frequent visits to the health-related centers are not only financially challenging but also seldom add value to the betterment of well being. They have at present tested over 20 categories of supplements and are adding a lot more all the time. In addition to providing low cost testing to guys across the US, Defy Health-related can support males access therapies made to reverse the symptoms of Low T and increase all round health.

It really is awful, he is in so a lot discomfort, but can not cease the discomfort due to the fact he can't quit throwing up. So, I took him to ER once more (nevertheless no insurance coverage), we went via the very same thing as final time, and they sent us away. Heather, it is so good to hear from somebody that has an older dog with a mild case. Supplementing with added cholecalciferol is inexpensive and easy, but I am asking this question because a neighbor of mine recently bought a stand-up tanning lamp from a firm known as Sunsplash and presented me access to it in the course of the Winter. Medical doctors told that he has a year and half development delay, but he has no troubles mentally. Prior to ordering something offered on the current industry, researching has to be accomplished by the customer. The greatest moment in the history of supplements came on September 1, 1998. Most patients with CFS/ME who often take probiotics report easing of gastrointestinal symptoms (specially gas and bloating) and overall improvement in digestion. Add fruit to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal (not just bananas, but also try apples, grapes, berries, peaches, or mandarin oranges). I would do HCG and shed some, gain some back, do HCG once again and drop some, gain some back and so on. Thanks for posting this as numerous men and women are not even conscious that dogs get cancer! As you could have noticed, most of these supplement brands are not effortlessly identified in nearby retailers, and are only offered for buy on the internet. I am in my sixties and taking a lot of these supplements.

I have just finished two weeks of a 2018 harvest internship at The Drift Estate. I am one of four women selected from over a hundred applicants, from all over the world, to join the Women in Wine program promoted by PIWOSA (Premium Independent Wineries of South Africa, of which The Drift Estate is a member).
I applied because I wanted to know how to make wine. As a wine professional based in Hong Kong, I know how to taste and sell wines but my knowledge lacked practical experience. The reason I chose South Africa is the wines here, I feel, have great potential and I appreciate the PIWOSA initiative. My first visit to this country was in 2016 and I fell in love with the beauty of nature, the people and the wines. I have been interested in wines since my student days in France, for almost 25 years I have tasted wines from all over the world. South African wines attracted my attention. I think I have a good palate!
I joined the Drift Estate cellar team, consisting of Marlize Beyers, the winemaker and Enock Gumeni, the cellar assistant. My memorable 2018 harvest began on St. Valentine's Day at their brand new cellar. I also helped the sales team with a few tasting events in Cape Town during my stay. It was a real pleasure to work with all of The Drift Estate team and I would like to thank them for their great hospitality.
Before my trip, people were telling this city girl, "Naoko, you are going to live in the middle of nowhere…" Now, a Japanese proverb came to my mind. "One eye-witness is better than many hearsays." I fully enjoyed living and working on the farm and would have extended my stay if my family were not waiting for my return. The farm's landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. The whole layout and homestead are also fantastic. I was wondering how it was possible to realise this charming retreat, well hidden in the Overberg Highlands. I will tell you a secret. The Jack family has truly good taste, I mean, not only a sense of taste, which is essential for winemaking but also of all five senses. They are a team of artists.
I can only advise you to go to visit the farm and taste wines, smell the aroma of fynbos brought by the winds, listen to birds singing, touch grapes and soils in the vineyards, just before the sunset, if possible.
Let me come back to the cellar work. As Marlize says, "winemaking is all about cleaning," indeed most of my tasks were cleaning and sanitising. Tasks that are in fact essential for healthy fermentation in order to avoid the intervention of any bad microbes or bacteria. Cellar work is a physical labor although you do need some math skills. You constantly need to lift heavy machinery and tools. You also climb up ladders to fermentation tanks. If you sort grapes or treat red wines, your hands get really dirty. A winemaker's aim is to bring out the charm of grapes, given to us by Mother Nature, to enjoy wines months or years later. Every vintage is definitely different.
I was calling myself, an international flying cleaning lady. I came from very far away to clean the cellar. I can hear you say, "Ag, shame!" Not to worry. Although I learned winemaking is a hard work, my love toward wines grows deeper. I am definitely willing to come back to join another harvest and to taste 2018 vintage wines that I helped craft – a little bit. Enjoy your Beautiful Wines!

In East Asia, lively and flexible urban environments exist and function in cities such as Taipei' East District, Seoul's Hongdae, and Shanghai's Jing An. Most of these areas emerged after the Second World War and experienced an explosive growth of urban development during which agriculture land was transformed into industrial and residential land in a very short time. Supply, demand, consumption, and production exist all in the same neighbourhood without relocating or spilling over to adjacent areas. Today, creativity emerges from the accumulation and combination of these urban functions. During our international research, we also discovered that a lot of East Asia cities are currently confronted with urban renewal: concrete buildings almost reaching their age limitation and are in need of reconstruction, reinforcement, or rebuilding. In different cities, within different urban environments and under different social, economical situations and perception to "private properties", there are different ways to carry out urban renewal. Among them, the most common one is to demolish most of the low-rise buildings and build highrise residential towers in their place. However, is there no other possibility? Possibilities that could potentially preserve the old, the communal memories and the interpersonal networks yet invite new buildings and new comers to settle?

Lord Chief-Justice Glynn reported from the Committee appointed to withdraw yesterday about the oath of his Highness and the Council. It was in relation to an oath of his Highness and the Council, and members of Parliament, and the solemnity of investing his Highness.
Captain Baynes. There is more in the Report than was in the Order to the Committee. I move that the Order be read.
This done, the Report was proceeded upon, &c.
1. That your Highness will be pleased, according to the usage, (fn. 1) to take an oath in the form ensuing:—
"I do promise, in the presence of God, that to the utmost of my power I will endeavour, as Chief Magistrate of these three nations, the preservation of the just rights and privileges of the people thereof, and to govern according to law, &c. (fn. 2) The like for his successors.
2. That all of the Privy Council shall take an oath to be faithful to his Highnesses person, and his just authority, and for securing, &c.
3. That all members of either House shall also take an oath to be faithful to the Lord Protector, and to preserve the rights and liberties of the people.
4. That your Highness will, before next meeting, issue out your summons for members to serve in the other House, and that the persons so summoned are hereby declared to be the other House, and to have all the privileges in the Petition and Advice expressed.
5. Westminster-hall to be prepared suitable to such a solemnity, a chair of state on the high end, seats for members and Lord Mayor and Aldermen; the Speaker to demand the assent of the people, and then to administer the oath, and deliver his Highness a sword, by way of investiture:
Major-General Bolder moved to proceed upon the last part first, for that there will be time little enough to prepare the place.
Mr. Bond seconded.
Colonel Jones moved to take the report in parts as it lies, and so it was taken up, and first for his Highness's oath.
Colonel Sydenham moved against the oath.
Mr. Bampfield offered additions to the oath, to defend the Protestant religion, and not to violate the privileges of Parliament and liberty of the people; so would have it recommitted.
Captain Baynes. I was against imposing any oath upon his Highness; but since it is the sense of the House, I would have it such as may be effectual.
He offered some additions to it, and moved a re-commitment.
Mr. Downing. It is very essential, what was moved for an additional clause about religion. It was always in the form of an oath to begin with religion. We may have a Papist become Chief Magistrate.
Major-General Disbrowe. The oath is full enough without it. To put in such a clause about the Protestant religion will but be a snare, in regard of the great disputes about what shall be the Protestant religion.
Lord-Chief Justice Glynn offered a clause to this purpose.
Colonel Jones. I move to second it. We have had full experience of his Highness's attention to the Protestant religion, and I never doubted but his Highness would cheerfully take it.
Major-General Goffe moved against the words in the oath, "in the name of God."
Mr. Bampfield. It is the phrase of Scripture.
Colonel Briscoe. There was no need of an oath. His Highness was obliged, by his consent to the Petition and Advice. But if you will have an oath, I would have the clause in it about religion.
The clause was added accordingly.
Mr. Bampfield moved another addition, after laws, viz. statutes, customs, &c.
Lord Chief-Justice. It was my opinion, last Parliament, that laws was the most general and safest word, enumerations being never the best, where it was agreed the best to have no enumerations.
Major Audley moved a further addition, viz. "And according to the humble Petition and Advice," which, though it be now a law, yet we cannot tell but another Parliament may think as slightly of our laws as that of the little Parliament, (fn. 3) who thought themselves to be the legislative; yet now you confirm their laws.
The Master of the Rolls moved for this addition, viz. and for maintenance and preservation of the rights, &c. which was done.
Lord Lambert. Excepted against the preamble before the oath, relating to the custom of former Chief Magistrates. An oath was a sacred thing, and ought to be guided by religion, and not by custom.
Mr. Godfrey. There is something wanting in the oath, and that is drawn from the inducement, viz. the custom of the Chief Magistrates to take an oath; if you refer to that usage, and leave out the most material part, which was the ground of the quarrel, and upon which all turns;
I shall not state the question, negative, or no negative, by law. It is certain it is upon conscience to confirm those good and wholesome laws that shall be tendered him by the people. Queen Elizabeth refused to confirm a law for establishing Popery, for that was not good nor wholesome; so no breach of her oath by refusal.
All the blood that has been spent has been about this, and wherein his Highness himself engaged, viz. and to confirm these good and wholesome laws that the people in Parliament shall present unto him. This I would have added.
Mr. Vincent. I stand up to second those two motions that were now made you.
1. To secure the privileges of Parliament: unless those be kept entire, it is an error in the first concoction, scarce remediable.
2. To put this long controverted point out of question, the negative voice. To me, I profess, I look upon it that the legislature is, where the negative voice is. I know not what a Parliament signifies else.
It will be said that monies were always the chief consideration. Now you have parted with that by settling a perpetual revenue; and unless you insert this in your oath, I know not how you shall come to your consideration. Late experience tells us how, for a circumstance, the Chief Magistrate may reject any law.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn moved, that this was debated when the Petition and Advice was debated. This was never the quarrel stated nor determined. It will be hard to prove that the Long Parliament ever denied the King the negative voice. As to that of the privilege of Parliament, it is comprehended under the word laws.
Resolved, the oath so amended. (fn. 4)
Resolved, that his Highness's successors shall take the like oath.
The oath of the Privy Council was read:
Mr. Bampfield moved to add the same clause in the oath for the council that was put in his Highness's oath.
Colonel White. I move to put out the word " just," and insert the word " lawful;" and that the Council be all chosen to have their approbation here. The Petition and Advice makes no provision.
Lord Lambert moved some amendments, viz. to " advise and maintain."
Colonel Jones agreed that this was material.
Mr. Bampfield. I offer some other amendments to the oath, as was agreed on in last Parliament; that the Council may not be under an oath not to reveal secrets to the Parliament in some cases. We remember Lord Strafford's case. (fn. 5)
Lord Whitlock agreed this to be very proper, not to reveal them without the consent of his Highness, the Parliament, or Council, which was added.
Major Aston moved, that the Council of Ireland might take the same oath. It was said that may be added after, and the like for Scotland.
Captain Baynes. The Council are the trustees of the people. I would have a clause added that they shall likewise be faithful to the people; for that no provision is made in that oath for their rights. We have good cause to suspect that we shall not always have good Chief Magistrates.
Colonel Chadwick. I second that motion. It is very fit to have such a clause.
The Master of the Rolls offered this amendment, " nor wittingly do any thing to the prejudice of the Commonwealth."
Mr. Bampfield offered an addition, according as was in the case agreed last Parliament, viz. " in order to the good government, peace, and wellfare of these nations."
Resolved, that these words be added.
Resolved, that the word " lawful" be put instead of the word " just."
Colonel Cox moved additions, viz. " nor wittingly nor willingly do any thing to the disadvantage of the Commonwealth."
Lord Whitlock. It is not fit to put such a stress upon the office of a Privy Counsellor. They are accountable for their actions, in Parliament. They have not any power of legislature. This will put a low esteem upon Parliaments, and set up a jurisdiction you intend not. I like not that word "consent." Lay it rather upon the word " advise."
The Master of the Rolls agreed that the word " consent" was too large, and would have it " advise" or " do any thing," &c.
Lord Strickland. I would have you to distinguish what you mean by consent; for a man may be over voted, and then it is our act.
Sir William Strickland and Major General Goffe moved to leave out the word " consent" It looks like a legislature. Would you have them to protest against what is voted there ?
Colonel Shapcott. I am against the word " consent." In Parliament as a Court of Justice, though some dissent, yet the minor part have their consent included: otherwise their constitution is destroyed. On one side, the word " consent" gives too much power; on the other side, it is too straight for the reasons asserted.
Sir Richard Onslow moved, that the word may stand. It differs from that of a Parliament, every Privy Counsellor represents himself. And there may be an entry in a book, who consents, and who dissents.
Lord Lambert took some other exceptions to the oath, but I could not hear for the noise.
Mr. Secretary. I except against the word " disadvantage," which is very comprehensive, as also against the word " interest:" These are not legal terms, and nobody can tell how far those words may reach.
Lord Strickland. If those words " lawful liberty" be in, you debar the Secretary from taking any man up upon suspicion; for if he must discover the reason of securing such person, then he discovers the plot before he fully know it.
Colonel Sydenham. I am against all oaths, (fn. 6) because there are snares in them; much more, against additions to oaths: for more words, more sins. But if you will do any thing, it must be moved by a member.
Mr. Speaker. I hope you will not deny me the liberty of a member. I never find any but one deny me this, to offer an amendment to you.
Colonel Rouse. I see your oaths grow, and it seems men's consciences must grow to them. I would not have you go according to the rule of that dead carcase, the last Parliament; who, by your own acknowledgment, did make an oath for the Council, that they would not have taken themselves, on purpose to lay them aside; tying us to perform such directions as the Parliament should hereafter give, (fn. 7) which was more than a Jew or Turk would impose.
Sir John Thorowgood moved some additions in relation to property and liberty, &c.; but it was laid aside, and the oath was resolved. (fn. 8)
Resolved, that the like oath be taken by the Council of Scotland and Ireland.
Mr. Bampfield moved the addition of a clause, that the affirmative and negative of every member of the Council shall be entered by the Council; but this being held improper to be offered now, it was waved, and they went on with the Report.
The oath for the members of Parliament was read.
Mr. Grove. I shall not speak against the matter of the oath; but I am against any oath at all in this case. Your Committee had no such order. I desire you will lay it aside. Oaths are but snares; times are changeable, and a multiplicity of oaths draw but on to sin. It will but keep out the conscientious, and let in those that make no scruple of any oath. Haply, some may be kept, both out of this place and the Council, by imposing this oath.
Colonel Shapcott. You have admitted this Report, and you must proceed upon it. As to the matter of an oath in this case, do we not in every action between party and party, swear men to do justly; and may not the people demand it of you, to take an oath to do justice in this greater trust whereunto you are called ? And here is no more in this oath than what was contained in the Recognition, (fn. 9) whereunto most members here have already subscribed.
Captain Baynes. This is neither agreeable to your orders, nor yet to the privilege of Parliament, to bring in any such oath. I desire the order may be read.
Mr. Godfrey. It was never denied, to read an order when it was moved.
The order was read accordingly.
Mr. Drake. You are the fountain of justice; whence all the springs of justice flow to the nations. His Highness is under an oath, and you have bound up the Council by an oath. For you, the Parliament, which are the great legislature, to go free, is strange; and you cannot ingenuously bind one and not another.
Major-General Goffe. It will be disingenuous to think that his Highness and the Council should be under an oath, and your members free. The oath is tenderly penned, and I hope it is no more than ought in reason to be done. Your Committee did debate whether it was within their order, and they found it pursuant to the Petition and Advice.
Mr. Godfrey. I must insist upon it, before I speak any thing to the merit of the business, that this Report comes not properly in, and ought not to be received. This is, I think, hard measure, not being pursuant to the Petition and Advice: so I would have it laid aside.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn. Your Committee had as much power to bring in this oath as that for the Council. As to the oath of itself, it is not indifferent that his Highness should take an oath, and we take none. It is no more than, formerly, members have taken in all Parliaments. Is it not more fit now, to impose an oath to distinguish between persons of several judgment ? May not the children of Cavaliers, that are of a contrary opinion, creep into this House, who are not within the penalty, and yet will be bound up by the oath ?
Colonel Sydenham offered these reasons against the oath:—
1. It comes in against your order.
2. It has a tendency to impose an oath upon the whole nation; and you do in effect lay an oath upon the people of England; the collective body of England. I did foresee this would bring it upon every individual.
3. It is no argument to say, because his Highness is bound, therefore we must be bound. He is a single person, set up to act for the body; and not intrusted for himself, but for the people.
4. As to that, that oaths have been taken, there is such a vast parenthesis, a sea of blood betwixt, that it needs not be urged what was done formerly. You are not bound to take that chain up, upon yourselves, upon the people, upon posterity. It is like that of the ceremonial law. A servant may go out free if he will. If he will not go out, bore his ear to the post. (fn. 10)
5. It is harder to tie members of Parliament than those of the Council. That is a narrower door; and if he cannot go in, he may stay behind; but he cannot stay out of the nation.
6. You have said you would have Parliament free; and will you now lay a force upon you ? I had rather soldiers stood at the door, than my conscience to keep me out. It is worse than a file of musketeers. Who will you keep out ? those that are faithful to you and your good intentions. They that can tumble down nations and kingdoms, none more ready to take it; none less ready to keep it. You will make it a straight-way for good men, and a broad-way for bad.
Mr. Trevor. I shall not dispute how this Report comes before you, nor speak to the matter of an oath. Certainly, in all civil powers and governments, oaths are very useful and necessary. The greater the trust is, the greater the obligation. Does not every petty constable take an oath ? Have you not resolved, that the Council and his Highness shall take an oath.? I would be free from ties as to man, and strictly tied as to God. There is no other way to take off other ties. I would have the Parliament to take the oath, and to keep it too.
Colonel Winthorpe. I see nothing of precedent for it, but the example of former times, to which I shall say nothing.
There can be nothing in an oath but to lay a stronger obligation and assurance from him that I trust, that I employ; as Abraham swore his servant. But that we that trust should take an oath: we are only trusted, by our Indentures, and trusted as by way of executors. It seems unuseful, incongruous and unreasonable, that a people that are not trusted with any thing, should be under any obligation to perform a trust to themselves.
Colonel Jones. It is clear we are here servants for the people. We are under a trust. His Highness is under a trust.
Is it ingenuous to put his Highness under such a test, as not to trust his faithfulness; and yet our own faithfulness must come to no test ?
It has been no long parenthesis. (fn. 11) I had rather have an oath made here than without doors; and whilst we make our own oath, there is no danger.
I understand not that argument that we are the collective body of the nation; and therefore all the nation takes it, in our taking of it. (fn. 12) I think it is for the freedom of Parliament, that an oath should be imposed.
Major-General Whalley. I wonder to see gentlemen so unwilling that a Parliament should be imposed on by themselves, and yet his Highness must be imposed on.
I could instance to you where Parliaments have given away their liberty and their religion to the lusts of a king; (fn. 13) and it is fit there should be an oath to bind men in such cases.
Lord Fiennes. In your Petition and Advice you bind his Highness to call Parliaments according to the law, and by the law, members of Parliament ought to take an oath. Is it reasonable that he should be bound, and we free ?
He that has a conscience that he cannot take this oath, he is not fit to sit here; for he must either have a prejudice against his Highness or the liberties or freedom of the people. I do wonder any should scruple what is his duty in this case to do.
Mr. Godfrey. Against the oath.
1. The Petition and Advice holds it not forth.
2. Not a word of an oath in his Highness's proposals.
3. Nothing of it in your additional Petition and Advice.
4. You are making new matter every day. I wish it had been made more early, when all your members—. (fn. 14) For a matter of this weight to come within these doors, when you are going out of doors!
5. It is against the Declaration to take away the Engagement. (fn. 15) It is said there, that oaths and Engagements are generally found to be snares. That Engagement showed as far as this.
6. The argument, that no more is required but faithfulness, and what is your duty, and no man fit to sit here that does deny it: the same had laid as strongly for the Engagement.
Therefore, for the inconsistencies of it with that Declaration, unless principles vary, and are but per hic hoc, it will strangely refute that principle. I could wish, for the honour of that Declaration, and for the honour of the Parliament, that you would not impose an oath at this time.
7. As to that of his Highness' oath, volenti non sit injuria.
8. We are under penal laws, and liable to be questioned.
They are a security for his Highness against us.
It is a strange thing to me that cuch fetters should be called freedom; and all the honour you have in it is, in making your own shackles.
9. As to the judgment of what shall be faithfulness. It is not fair that you should interpret it. It must be to the sense of him by whom it is made, ad sensum imponentis, and that may prove a snare, or ad sensum impositi, and that makes way for equivocation. I shall not judge but a man may, with a safe conscience, refuse this oath.
Major-General Disbrowe. I think this oath both just and reasonable. My principle is for settlement, and I hope it is in your Petition and Advice provided for. If I intended, when we come again, to throw up all that we have done, and lay the legislation open again to the people, let us go with open force. It would be more ingenuous to tell his Highness we have set him up, and will pull him down again. If I would have all this, I would have us left without any tie. This is not ingenuous to bind one and let free another.
Lord Lambert. I cannot agree that this comes in by your order. I am not for any kind of oaths. I think they prove but snares.
If a man may speak his heart and thoughts to that oath before you, the swearing to these two things that are so contrary, you set up one to fight against another. Some will think that his Highness has too much power; others, that the people have too much. You will set up these two things, that will be perpetually quarrelling; I mean arguing. I hope some of us shall never see quarrelling about it.
If this go to the Parliament, it will reach to all officers of trust, justices, and the like.
This oath will go freely down with all that are not scrupulous of an oath.
This may seem to put a greater edge upon men that are conscientious, and who are settled in their consciences.
Lord Whitlock. There is a great weight in what this noble lord offers; but his argument reaches to all oaths whatsoever: for if a man's conscience do equally oblige with or without an oath, then what need more scruple at it ? If. it must be without an oath, then all oaths of justices of peace, and the like, are useless.
Second objection: It will be a snare to good men.
True, if it light with bad consciences, it may be a snare; with good men it cannot. If the words of the oath carry not a snare, the oath draws none. Oaths were very frequent in all ages, and members of Parliament always took an oath. The allegiance was general, the supremacy particular.
Third objection: It may be designed to make it universal.
There is no such thing appears, and it is no argument. The universality is not before you now. I should make a great difference. Are not the members of Parliament the greatest judges in England? Every man is bound by honour and honesty. Is it a less obligation to be under an oath ?
It is said it is a shackle, a fetter. So it is. It is vinculum animi.
It is said his Highness must interpret it.
I am not of his opinion: You are the imposers of it, and must have the interpretation of it. No man is to be questioned for any thing he does in Parliament, but by Parliament. The case is famous.
The question being put,
Mr. Speaker declared for the Yeas.
Colonel Sydenham for the Noes.
Yeas 63, Lord Whitlock and Mr. Secretary, Tellers.
Noes 55. Sir Edward Rhodes and Colonel Sydenham, Tellers.
So it passed in the affirmative.
Post Meridiem.
The debate was resumed upon the report, and first proceeded upon the form of the oath for the members, which, with alterations, according to the first part of the oath for his Highness about defending the protestant religion, was agreed.
Mr. Highland moved, contra, that the members be sworn to maintain the privileges of Parliament.
Captain Baynes and Colonel Sankey seconded.
Colonel Jones and Lord Chief-Justice Glynn. It is submitted to your judgment, whether you need swear members to maintain their own privileges, but if you will put it, there will be no negative.
Colonel White. It is hard to define the privileges now, so I would not have members sworn. It is needless. You may as well add to his Highness's oath to maintain his own prerogatives.
Major Aston. You may as well put a question for a man to eat his meat, and put off his clothes, and things that cannot be omitted, as to maintain his own privilege, which is his interest.
Major-General Goffe. I wonder to hear the gentleman that moved it insist so much upon having that of privileges put in the oath. Methinks he should not be so strict. It is probable, if we were sworn to maintain our privileges so strictly, we should not suffer some to sit, against those privileges.
Captain Baynes. Indentures, &c.
Resolved, the oath without that amendment.
Amendments were offered to the oath, as to the penning of it; for it was so penned as that none could sit in Parliament till all had taken the oath. The oath, thus amended, passed. (fn. 16)
The other part of the report, about calling the other House, was read. It was to summon the members by writ, whereas the Petition and Advice says, they shall be first approved by this House.
The Lord Deputy. It was properly moved, that it was contrary to the Petition and Advice; yet it is fit that, at your next meeting, you should have a trial of that other House, and see how your constitution will stand. Your time is short; that you cannot approve them now. I shall move that the approbation and nomination may be in his Highness.
Colonel Matthews and Mr. Bampfield. This is expressly against the Petition and Advice, and against the order of Reference, and is such a trust as is not to be transferred. It is a considerable part of the privilege of the Commons. Have we not gone too far already ?
Mr. Grove. I hope you would not, at first, break the Petition and Advice, yourselves.
Resolved, the first part of the clause, as to the summons. (fn. 17)
The second part, as to their constitution, when they are met, was read.
Colonel Jones. I move for an addition, viz. " without farther approbation;" and this is an implied power of approbation in you. Some persons will scruple to have their names scanned over here.
Mr. Godfrey. No man can, without leave, speak against the order, and you have said expressly, you will have the approbation in yourselves.
Colonel Shapcott. I think that, till you have the other House, you are not upon your right constitution. I wish we might put somewhat of a real confidence in his Highness. Divers members will come in, upon the account of right, such as have not forfeited. Whereas, men shall be tossed up and down here, and their lives ripped up. You may consider how you are constituted. You have created, and you are created, you know not how.
Colonel Sydenham. I can better agree with the gentleman's conclusion than his premises; that we should question how we came together, how created. We must stay till some lawful power come to confirm us. The second argument is against tumbling men up and down. I would have such a tumbling; and I thought you would have had such persons as would look about them, and abide tumbling and a trial. If you mean the old Lords, you had as good, indeed, rake in a kennel as tumble some of them up and down.
If such a foundation be laid, as that the old Lords shall be admitted upon the account of birth-right or privileges, I shall very much fear, what I did at first, a returning to another line. I could very well consent that his Highness should choose them: but, upon the account that the worthy gentleman moved, I fear the consequence.
Colonel Cox. It is no dishonour for the persons to be approved of here; and, but that I know the persons that brought in the Report to be persons of honour, I should suspect that they themselves hope to be named, and fear disapprobation here. I would have the approbation where you have placed it.
Major-General Disbrowe. The gentleman was much mistaken in what he said. He did not speak of any birth-right that members had, to be of the other House; but he said that some might so challenge, in regard they have not forfeited.
In point of prudence, I think it is not best to lay a foundation of heat and difference, when, by doing as is propounded to you, you can answer your ends as well as if it were in your approbation.
I have seen the experience of it, that the choosing of a Committee, by a balloting here, did so divide the House into parties, that they were never united again: I doubt this may be the consequence. Now, if we have the same confidence in his Highness that formerly we had, that he will do things for the good of the nation, we need not fear to leave it to him, seeing we have put him upon qualifications.
If his Highness should send you a list of names, and they lie before you, and some think that they ought to be named that are left out, they will stir up obstructions in the approbation of others.
Major Audley. I was against the House of Lords, and also against the power of approbation in this House; but I am somewhat stirred up by what I heard from a worthy gentleman as to hereditary lords. I am not for such a choice, nor for any of those that went to Oxford. (fn. 18) But if you will have some of the old Lords, I would have this addition to the qualification, that they may sign some such Recognition as this:—
1. To approve of the death of the late King.
2. Of laying aside his family.
3. Of taking away the House of Lords.
Major Morgan. We should take measure of these lords by ourselves, who would have all ripped up from the beginning. I am diffident of my own ability to approve, and have confidence in his Highness's fitness for it: so that I can freely place it in his Highness.
Mr. Bampfield. This is most essentially the privilege of this House. It is in your Petition and Advice already, and how you can now part with it I cannot well tell. I would have this addition to your question, that the persons being so met shall be approved by this House.
Mr. Goodwin. I move to know what this other House shall be; whether it shall be an Upper or a Lower House, or one equal with yourselves ?
Colonel Matthews. The words offered you, " without further approbation," are expressly against the Petition and Advice. It is also moved and seconded, that they shall be approved by this House.
This is a great business. Let us a little consider our duty, and who we act for. Are we grown so low ? Shall we put a yoke and bridle upon ourselves, and have no cognizance of it ? Have we not parted with such a sum as was never parted with in Parliament ? and are we now parting with our power further ? I beseech you that it may be considered.
Major Putter. I move that you would do the Petition and Advice as much honour as you did the other Instrument of Government. There no members were to sit without approbation.
Lord Fiennes. You are now to consider, if you may attain your end without putting your approbation here, if it will not do as well to omit it. Why shall we insist upon it ? Formerly, those persons were called by writ; and to put this approbation upon them may seem to lessen that power that you intend them in the constitution.
Sir John Thorowgood moved against the question.
The question being put, to add the words, " without approbation of this House,"
Mr. Speaker declared for the Yeas.
Colonel Matthews for the Noes.
The Yeas went forth.
Yeas 90. Colonel Talbot and Captain Blackwell, Tellers.
Noes 41. Colonel Matthews and Captain Lister, Tellers.
Passed in the affirmative.
Colonel Talbot reported it by affirmatives and negatives. (Not proper.)
Colonel Cooper moved an addition, that in case any member die or be removed, the other House shall approve, &c.
This is in the body of the Petition already, so improper.
Mr. Godfrey. To second that motion; but both were mistaken.
Sir Charles Wolseley stood up and explained it.
Resolved, the second part of the clause thus amended. (fn. 19)
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn moved, that these words might be part of the Petition and Advice, " and brought in ingrossed."
This was ordered accordingly.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn offered from the Committee a draught of a Proclamation to be published.
As also, that the Petition and Advice be printed (omitting the 15th Article, mentioning the King).
Resolved, to agree with the Committee in this form of a Proclamation, without any debate.
The debate about printing and publishing the Petition and Advice was put off, till the explanatory Petition and Advice be ready.
The other part about the solemnity was read, about preparing Westminster Hall.
Sir Charles Wolseley doubted Westminster-hall would be too long preparing, and would rather have it done in the Painted Chamber.
Major-General Goffe and others moved for the Court of Chancery.
Major-General Disbrowe. I doubt to-morrow will be too quick. I would have a matter of this solemnity done with respectful deliberation, and not expensively. Any of the courts will serve. I would have it done on Friday; and first have an honest man to preach and pray.
Major-General Goffe. I move that a Committee wait upon his Highness with the oath and your votes this night, and then you may know how to proceed, and when the House shall wait upon him to pass some Bills; and that the same Committee that brought in the Report might attend his Highness.
Mr. Bodurda. I move that the solemnity may not be in the Chancery Court, because there was lately another government settled there, which had not such. It will not be so hard to prepare the other place.
Resolved, to agree with the Committee as to the place of the solemnity; and that Sir Thomas Pride, Mr; Maidstone, and Captain Blackwell, take care of this.
Upon Sir Charles Wolseley's motion,
Part of the Report was left out; that the Speaker shall show his Highness to the people, and make acclamation. (fn. 20)
It was moved, that the sword to be delivered by way of investiture might not be left out.
Mr. Lister. His Highness has a sword already. I would have him presented with a robe.
Some understood it a rope, and it caused altum risum. He said he spoke as plain as he could, a robe.
You are making his Highness a great prince, a King indeed, so far as he is Protector. Ceremonies signify much of the substance in such cases, as a shell preserves the kernel, or a casket a jewel. I would have him endowed with a robe of honour.
Lord Lambert. There are other solemnities and ensigns of power, as a sceptre and the like. A sword is an emblem of justice. The ceremony of the sword was laid aside without a question. (fn. 21)
The Lord Deputy moved, that the Bill of Attainder (fn. 22) might be read to-morrow morning, the first business.
Sir Charles Wolseley seconded it. So it was resolved.
Alderman Geldart, Sir William Strickland, Captain Baynes, and Captain Stone, moved, that the Bill for the Probate of Wills might be read now. The order of the day was to read it.
Mr. Secretary moved, that the Bill of Attainder was first seconded. So he would have that first, and the other next.
Major Audley. Unless you read one of these Bills tonight, you will not be able to read them both to-morrow.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn and Mr. Fowell moved that the first business to-morrow might be the explanatory Petition and Advice.
The question was put that the Bill of Attainder be read to-morrow morning.
Captain Stone excepted for the Noes.
It was the sense of the House it would spoil the other Bill reading.
Major-General Disbrowe offered a clause to Lord Broghill's Bill, which has laid these three weeks engrossed. None can give a precedent of that nature.
Captain Hatsel pressed a Report, and moved the orders of the House.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn. It is against the orders of the House to put by another business to have his own received. I desire that you would hear that Report.
Alderman Geldart moved, that the little Bill for the river of York, no bigger than his thumb, might be now read.
Mr. Lister offered a rider to the Bill of Lord Broghill, to settle an impropriation of 300l. per annum, for ninety-nine years, upon Colonel Carter, for his arrears of 5000l.
Lord Chief-Justice Glynn strongly backed this.
Mr. Grove and Sir William Strickland strongly opposed it, as smelling of sacrilege, and the House had indignation for it; insomuch, that it was thought most prudent to withdraw it.
It was moved to give him 3000l. out of the Prize Office, in lieu or part of those arrears, but held improper to be moved till the debate upon the Bill was ordered.
Colonel Sankey offered a proviso for Mr. Moorcock's widow, for 100l. per annum, lands in Ireland.
The Lord Deputy seconded.
The motion passed; and another proviso for Colonel John Jones, for 3000l. worth of land in Ireland. Both which being passed, the Bill passed.
The motion was revived for Colonel Carter to have 3000l. out of the Prize Office. And the question being put,
Mr. Speaker declared for the Yeas.
Major-General Kelsey for the Noes. The Yeas went forth, and Colonel Carter one.
Yeas 45. Colonel Ingoldsby and Mr. Bodurda, Tellers.
Noes 43. Major-General Kelsey and Colonel Harvey, Tellers.
So it passed in the affirmative.
A letter from his Highness, to reinforce his former letter about James's and the Westmoreland regiment, (fn. 23) was read; but it being late, past nine, it was adjourned by candle-light ill to-morrow.

Photo taken from the dialogue skills training for local government officials from Zimbabwe, held in Stockholm, Sweden, on 13 Sep 2017. Photo by Elin Falguera.
International IDEA and the International Center for Local Democracy (ICLD), a Swedish organization dedicated to strengthening local democracy, will once again organize a one-day dialogue training for 26 women local government councilors from nine countries. Participants will be from Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Uganda and Tanzania, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The training will take place at IDEA Headquarters in Stockholm.
International IDEA previously held a training on 13 September 2017 and below are some of the participant comments from the event.
For the upcoming event, the councilors will be visiting Sweden as part of a broader, two-week leadership training organized by ICLD annually. The objective of IDEA's training on dialogue skills is to improve the politicians' knowledge and skills for designing, participating into, and facilitating interparty dialogues at the local level. The training also comes at a time when some of the countries are preparing for elections in 2018 (like Bosnia Herzegovina) while the other countries have their elections in 2019 and 2020. Effective dialogue skills can prevent possible electoral violence and improve delivery of services by local governments.
Participation is by invitation only.
For more information on this event and dialogue trainings, please email Frank Kayitare or Shannon Lovgren .

About half of patients who experience a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) have still motor and/or sensory function below the level of the lesion. A large proportion of these patients become ambulatory within the first six months after the SCI. In order to optimally train the walking function patients are partially unloaded from their body weight while they walk on a moving treadmill. In severe cases therapists have to assist the leg movements which is an exhaustive work limiting training time. In the last few years robotic devices have been developed which enable longer training time. Studies evaluating the training of patients with hemiparesis showed that longer training time is associated with a better outcome. The present study aims at evaluating the effect of training time within the robotic device on the recovery of ambulatory function. Subject with an acute incomplete SCI will be included. The intervention consist of a walking training which lasts at least 50min, the training of the control group last at maximum 25min. Both groups will undergo 3-5 trainings per week. Group assignment will be performed at random. The study lasts for 8 weeks. The primary outcome will be the self selected walking speed which will be assessed bi-weekly during the training period and 4 months later.

Mid Week Romance in the Berkshires
March 26, 2012 by Applegate Inn
Who says romance has to be limited to weekends? Well, maybe nobody actually said that, but many people live as if that's true. We say, cast that belief system aside. Have a little mid week romance in the Berkshires.
We offer a mid week lodging special at our Berkshire Bed and Breakfast through May that is perfect for a romantic getaway. It involves a complimentary prix fixe dinner for 2 at one of our favorite restaurants, including your first glass of wine.
This special may be used at the following Berkshires restaurants:
Alta Restaurant and Wine Bar in Lenox. Local and organic ingredients form the base of this inspired Mediterranean cuisine. The wine list is extensive, and there are 24 wines offered by the glass. The people who work here are happy, the food sophisticated, the wine satisfying and well-priced.
Chez Nous in Lee. Chez Nous is, as its name suggests, casual. You feel like you're in the home of the two chefs who created the restaurant, pastry chef Rachel Portnoy and French chef Franck Tessier. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is out of this world.
Morgan House in Lee. Located just down the street from our Berkshires Bed and Breakfast, Morgan House is cozy and warm. The food isn't fancy, but it is tasty and satisfying.
Old Inn on the Green in Marlboro. The fine dining restaurant at Old Inn on the Green is romance incarnate. Faces are lit by candlelight. The atmosphere is warm and the food is innovative, elegant and inspired. Dining here is, quite simply, sublime.
Perigee in South Lee. The place to enjoy New England favorites, plain and simple. This wonderful restaurant will be closed through April but will reopen in May.
A good dinner in the right restaurant is almost inherently romantic. Come see for yourself. Come to the Berkshires.
Spur of the Moment Romantic Getaway
February 13, 2012 by Applegate Inn
Is there anything more romantic than a spur of the moment romantic getaway? We think not.
Forget about dinner and a movie in your home town. Pack your bags and head to some of the most romantic land in New England–the Massachusetts Berkshires.
Spend evenings sitting together by a crackling fire. Spend afternoons out in the fresh air, or wandering through one of the areas spectacular museums: The Clark Art Institute, The Norman Rockwell Museum, Chesterwood. Hold hands.
Enjoy dinner at one of the many fine restaurants close to our Berkshires Inn. There's Zinc, an elegant bistro and bar in Lenox that has garnered praise from the New York Times. There's the Castle Street Cafe in Great Barrington, which will have dancing with the Wanda Houston Band on Valentine's Day. There's the Church Street Café, also in Lenox, where the menu changes with the seasons and decor is recycled and salvaged chic.
Berkshire Bed and Breakfasts are romantic by nature. A spur of the moment getaway to the Applegate Inn over Valentine's Day is particularly so. The best part? Give us a call today and receive 15% discount off a stay of at least two or more nights. You must arrive within 24 hours of making the reservation to receive the special.
We would be happy to enhance your stay with our Romance Package. Please see our Bershire Inn Lodging Specials for details.

I really appreciate readers' comments - it's what keeps me going. Thank you all for supporting this blog. Here is a selection of readers' comments with links to relevant posts.
Zachariah, Senior Editor, Teton Journal, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, www.tetonjournal.com:
"Your website was the ray of hope that I needed, as I was about to abandon the notion that it was possible to print a tabloid, on a web press, that was created solely in Pages. I can however affirm that it is entirely possible since I have now successfully done it. Thanks so much for creating this invaluable resource."
Doug Gilmore (re. From Pages to CMYK PDFs):
Let me say what a great help your blog has been. I am using Pages and Keynote to create everything from letterhead to video titles to animated banner ads. So I was thrilled to find someone using Pages rather than InDesign or Quark to create professional work like your guides. I love the savings in money and learning time.
Realmac Software Community Forums (Germany, re PDF Settings for Professional Printshops and a Few Tips):
Die Seite ist ohnehin eine Fundgrube für die Nutzer von Pages.
(The site is already a treasure trove for the users of Pages.)
E. from Norway (re. Three steps from Pages to PDF):
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Saved my life...
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Saved my life...
Peter (re. Three Steps from Pages to PDF):This is probably the best moment of my life this year! I create [in my opinion] GREAT stuff in Pages...love it! And then the whole conversion to pdf thing drove me bats! Now I can do it! Thank you!
Wiley (re. Pages and professional printshops: why PostScript):
This is a wonderful piece of work - thanks for sharing! It resolved quite a frustrating time of back and forth with the printer!
Corey Koch:
Well Done. I am a graphic designer, living in Normandy and have seen your magazine from the start. Having used Quark Xpress for the last seventeen! years, I am amazed you managed to get it looking this good. I can pick holes but, hey, there must be a future without Quark holding us to ransom. Well done! We enjoy reading it.
Andrea Stevens (re Curving Lines and Shapes – Make Them in Pages):
Basically everything you post is a question I have had in mind, or shows an alternative to how I have approached some problems. This curving line thing is something I had never come across, and thought that pages didn't allow for free hand drawing. But it is great, and now I can make things look "flowy". I have actually used this tip on my catalogue
exegete77 (re. Putting together a book in Pages):
Thanks for the good guidelines (not just for Pages) Four years ago I published a book using Papyrus with PDFs sent to the printer. I followed almost all of your steps. One critical factor that is overlooked: Always have someone else edit the final document(s). No matter how careful we are, we will always miss some small errors. Keep up the good work and advice.
Poppy (re 5000 Pageviews)
Congratulations! I come back to your blog for help in iPages for every project. Your tips are extremely helpful. I also enjoy your photos and other blogs especially Running With Dogs :)
Sister Julie (Chicago):
I just got my first Mac and chose to go with iWork. I was happy to stumble upon your blog which is helping me make the transition from Word to Pages. Excellent job. Thanks for the work you do.
Al Coffman (re. Three steps from Pages to PDF):
Just a note of thanks. Your post solved a problem for us in a quick and clear manner! Merci beaucoup.
Anonymous "Preparing colour separated PDFs using ColorSync":
Thank you! My printer needed a CMYK pdf and I couldn't find a solution until I read this. Not everything you suggested worked out for me though - I couldn't set the resolution because the I couldn't locate the commands you suggested. I'm working in Pages '08 - maybe they have created a higher dpi as a default? Best wishes, Karyn
REALLY USEFULL!! I created a flyer, but I needed it in JPG... Thanks 4 the trick, man!
Anonymous (re. Quick word count in Pages):
Thanks! I am writing a paper and was wondering where that darn word count was!

If you're looking to sell your Mazda or just get an idea of how much the car is worth, be sure to get an online car valuation from webuyanycar.com!
Mazda provides a great selection of quality cars and has proven very popular in the UK over the years. Offering everything from affordable convertible models, such as the successful Mazda MX-5, to sleek family cars like the Mazda 6. If you like luxury cars, but want something different from the popular Audi or BMW models, then the Mazda fleet may take your fancy.
To get a free and instant online valuation for your Mazda, simply enter the car's number plate above to get started.
The Mazda2 is a supermini with style and modern detailing inside and out, which is also good value for money with efficient engines available. Combine this with a well-handled and fun drive, the Mazda2 easily competes against the popular Ford Fiesta and other rivals of its class.
The Mazda3 carries on the style of the Mazda2 and has created a family-sized hatchback and saloon. These up-market models boast a fun drive inside a sleek and sporty body, that will impress those who value style and driving performance.
The Mazda CX-3 is a small SUV that oozes style and can be considered more attractive than a lot of its rivals. But that's not all, it also boasts technology to make it super efficient and exciting to drive for a top of the class model. The CX-3 diesel engines are packed full of power for a great performance.
The Mazda6 is the executive car of the Mazda range. Available as a smooth saloon or a larger Tourer estate, the Mazda6 provides style to compete against the Audi A4, a good handling to rival the Volkswagen Passat, and is a great family-sized car, like the Ford Mondeo. The versatility of this model makes it a particular favourite in the UK.
A classic sports car, the Mazda MX-5, is possibly the best-selling roadster and it's not hard to see why. Renowned for how good it looks, especially with a soft top, it's hard to resist this model. Although it's designed for style and performance, rather than for practicality, it still drives well for everyday use.
The Mazda CX-5 is the largest vehicle in the range. The well-built SUV rivals the popular Nissan Qashqai thanks to its distinctive style, excellent performance behind the wheel and a good range of available engines. Similar to the driving experience of the MX-5, it's easy to see why the CX-5 is a great car to own.
The Mazda RX-8 has been designed purely for the performance and style you'd expect from a sports car. The sporty exterior and exciting handling behind the wheel makes the RX-8 the ideal model for a fun and eye-catching car.
Are you thinking about selling your car? Do you often ask yourself, "How much is my car worth?" Well, webuyanycar.com can help provide the answer. We are known for being quick, simple and hassle-free and it all starts with a free online car valuation. Once you've entered your registration into the valuation tool box, you will then be asked a couple of questions to determine the condition of the car to help calculate a more accurate estimate. Retrieving your value will take less than 60 seconds. It's that quick and it's that simple.
If you're ready to find out how much your Mazda is worth, get your instant valuation now.
Once you have received your free car valuation, selling your car to webuyanycar.com is just as easy. Here's our simple guide to selling your car from start to finish.
How to sell my Mazda:
Mazda range a fleet of luxurious but affordable cars for those who want style without a hefty price tag. It doesn't matter if you've got the Mazda2 supermini or the CX-3 SUV, the whole range looks good! But, there comes a time, despite how it looks, when your vehicle needs to be upgraded, whether that's for something more flash or more practical for the family.
As a car gets older, it is no longer as reliable as it was when it was first bought. With every drive, your car undergoes general wear and tear and over the years, as the mileage cranks up, your Mazda may become less responsive and less fun to drive. Before any issues arise and your car begins to cost more money for repairs, it is advisable to sell up and upgrade to a newer vehicle. Selling your car earlier on, while it is still in a good condition, will also help to retain as much value as possible.
Is it time to sell your Mazda? Get a free valuation today and find out how much your car is worth.
Whichever Mazda model you own they all depreciate gradually over time. The average car will inevitably depreciate over time because their condition degrades as they get older. Therefore, age and condition, as well as mileage, are key influences to determine the value of a vehicle. These three matters are easily interlinked; the older the car is or the more miles it has driven usually equate to more wear and tear, decreasing its value.
When it comes to age, the plate change is a main dictator of when the value should decrease again. Every March and September a new number on the reg plate is released, for example, in 2018 the plates 18 and 68 were introduced. Therefore, when this time comes, your Mazda will become another year older making it worth less money.
Sell your Mazda with webuyanycar.com before your car loses any more value.
