Plan of study
A total of 66 credit hours of combined graduate course work and research are required for completion of the program. The course work requires a combination of foundation courses, major and minor technical area courses, and electives. The student must pass the qualifying exam, the candidacy exam, and the dissertation defense exam to complete the degree requirements.
Phase 1: The first phase prepares students with the foundation in science and engineering required for the program as well as to determine the student's ability to do independent research. This includes the foundation and specialization courses taken during the first year together with the successful completion of the qualifying exam. The qualifying exam tests the student's ability to think and learn independently, to critically evaluate current research work in microsystems engineering, and to use good judgment and creativity to determine appropriate directions for future research work.
Phase 2: The second phase continues students course work and preliminary dissertation research. Much of this course work supports the dissertation research to be conducted in the third phase. This phase is completed when the student has finished most of the formal course work as prescribed in the program of study, has prepared the dissertation proposal, and has passed the candidacy examination.
Phase 3: The third phase includes the completion of the experimental and/or theoretical work needed to complete the student's dissertation along with the required publication of results. The research review milestone is held as a meeting during this phase, as is the defense of the dissertation, which consists of a public oral presentation and examination.
The course work requirements are divided into four parts to ensure that students complete a well-rounded program of study with the necessary concentration in their specialized field.
Foundation courses
Students complete the following foundation courses: Microelectronics I (MCEE-601), Introduction to Nanotechnology and Microsystems (MCSE-702), Material Science for Microsystems Engineering (MCSE-703), and Theoretical Methods in Materials Science and Engineering (MTSE-704).
Major technical interest area
Students complete a sequence of three courses in the major technical research area and a sequence of two courses in a support area.
Minor technical interest areas
Students complete a two-course sequence in a minor technical area which should be outside of the student's undergraduate degree major.
Elective courses
Students complete at least two elective courses, in addition to the foundation and technical interest courses.
General course requirements
The total number of credit hours required for the degree depends upon the highest degree level completed by the student before entering the program. Students entering without prior graduate work must complete a minimum of 39 credit hours of course work as outlined above. A minimum of 18 research credits and a total of 66 total credits are required. Credits beyond the minimum of 39 course and 18 research requirements can be taken from either category to reach the 66 credit total.
Students entering the program with a master's degree may be permitted up to 24 course credit hours toward those required for the degree, based on the approval of the program director.
All students are required to maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) to remain in good standing in the program.
Preparing a program of study
Students should prepare a program of study after passing the qualifying exam and no later than the spring semester of the second year. The program of study should be reviewed periodically by the student and the adviser, and modifications should be made as necessary. Leading up to or upon completion of the candidacy exam, the student's adviser and the advisory committee may add additional course work requirements to ensure the student is sufficiently prepared to carry out and complete their dissertation research.
Qualifying examination
Every student must take the qualifying examination, which tests student's ability to think and learn independently, to critically evaluate current research work in the field of microsystems engineering, and to use good judgment and creativity to determine appropriate directions for future research work. The exam must be completed successfully before a student can submit a thesis proposal and attempt the candidacy examination.
Research proposal
A research topic, chosen by the student and their research adviser, becomes the basis for the dissertation. The research proposal sets forth both the exact nature of the matter to be investigated and a detailed account of the methods to be employed. In addition, the proposal usually contains material supporting the importance of the topic selected and the appropriateness of the research methods to be employed.
Candidacy examination
The candidacy examination is an oral examination based on the dissertation research proposal and allows the advising committee to judge the student's ability to execute a research task and to communicate the results. The exam also serves to evaluate the proposed topic to ensure that if completed as posed it constitutes an original contribution to knowledge.
Research review milestone
The research review milestone is administered by the student's adviser and the advisory committee between the time the student passes the candidacy exam and registers for the dissertation defense. This normally occurs approximately six months prior to the Dissertation Defense.
Dissertation defense and examination
The culmination of a student's work toward the doctorate degree is the publication of their research. In addition to developing experimental and technical skills during the creation of research, a student needs to acquire the necessary literary skills to communicate results to others. The preparation of the proposal and the dissertation manuscripts will demonstrate these skills. It is also expected that these skills are developed through the publication of technical papers and communications. The dissertation defense and examination is scheduled after all course requirements for the degree have been successfully completed.

Rita Ora Best Vocals/Live Vocal Range (Eb3-G5)(C7)
I've always been somewhat of a Rita Ora fan, but I knew she had more to offer vocally than she showcased in her songs. I didn't do in depth research on her voice, most of this is a night's work, but I've found Eb3-G5 in pure modal voice. She also has a C7. Her voice absolutely blooms on her high notes and I love her tone. I really want to hear more range from her, which would require some exploration of her head voice and falsetto, but I know she is more than capable. Some of her belts actually remind me of Mariah's (minus the cute little "ye" she does after almost every fifth octave sustained belt). Hope you enjoy.

Kendrick Lamar recently contributed a verse to Jeezy's song "Holy Ghost," which may result in another lawsuit for the rapper.
According to Radio.com, Kendrick Lamar's remixed version of "Holy Ghost" begins with a sample from a speech from well-known preacher T.D. Jakes. However, Kendrick Lamar allegedly did not have permission to use the audio clip. Now, T.D. Jakes is threatening to sue Lamar over the song. Since word of the unauthorized clip has gotten out, Kendrick Lamar's remix of "Holy Ghost" has been taken down from YouTube and Spotify.
T.D. Jakes is a 57-year-old televangelist preacher from Dallas. The section of his speech taken by Kendrick Lamar features the lines:
"I got some chatter, but I'm still on fire. I got some threats, but I'm still on fire."
Jakes' Facebook fanpage reported that Kendrick Lamar took the sound sample without the consent of the preacher:
"The 'Holy Ghost' remix by Jeezy featuring Kendrick Lamar was produced without the knowledge or consent of T.D. Jakes. We are taking the necessary legal actions to stop the unauthorized use of T.D. Jakes' intellectual property."
Mimo reported that the lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar goes a little deeper than a simple dispute over intellectual property. T.D. Jakes is more than simply a church pastor, he also runs several business — The Potter's House and TDJ Enterprises. Presumably, Lamar's clip from Jakes' speech represents more than a section of a stolen speech, it's a piece of Jakes' brand placed out of context without his consent. These kinds of intellectual property thefts can result in damages to a business's brand or public image. While Kendrick Lamar's use of Jakes' speech was not likely meant to cause the preacher any harm, Jakes is simply ensuring the safety of his intellectual property to protect his public image and his businesses.
Mimo asserts that T.D. Jakes might have approved of the sound sample if Kendrick Lamar had approached him to get permission to use it.
Last week, a spokesperson for Kendrick Lamar informed TheDallas Morning News that Lamar had no knowledge of the lawsuit. Dallas Morning News also found no record of the lawsuit filed in the federal court against Lamar. The spokesperson for T.D. Jakes had no comment.
You can still listen to the version of "Holy Ghost" without Kendrick Lamar or the sound sample in the video below and on Jeezy's album Seen It All, which is available in stores now.

Making decisions without adequate info is like navigating a motorway blindfolded. In rush hour. Ok fine, maybe it's not quite that deadly. But we exaggerate for effect… Point is: you don't order a meal without finding out what will be on your plate; you don't buy a car without knowing the mileage, the fuel consumption, the number of owners it's had; and you certainly don't watch a movie without IMDB-ing it first. So why would you hire someone without looking into them?
And by looking into them, we don't mean cyberstalking. We mean (1) double-checking that they are who they say they are, (2) getting their references and (3) making sure they're permitted to work in the country if they're not local. These are some of the reasons why pre-employment background checks are considered best practice.
Other important reasons to perform pre employment background checks includes:
- Compliance: many industries are required to perform specific background checks before employing people in certain roles.
- Protecting your business and physical assets: background checking can help you identify people with a propensity for dishonesty or for aggressive behaviour, for example.
- Cultural fit and avoiding bad hires: proper referencing, for example, can help you identify a person's strength and weaknesses, where they may need extra development, how they might fit into your team, whether they are natural leaders and whether they are likely to stay with your business for an extended period.
- It helps you look after your brand and reputation: your people can make or break your brand. This is nothing new. Vetting helps you eliminate unforeseen risks by helping you get as much contextual info as possible.
The time and effort you invest upfront pays off by way of lower employee turnover, higher customer satisfaction rates, and better bottom-line results. (Keen to better understand the use case and ROI for background screening? Read this article on 5 reasons why people background check.
So which pre-employment background checks matter?
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks… Right To Work (RTW) checks… Know Your Employee (KYE)… Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) checks… Director searches… You get the drill… There are plenty of checks out there, making it tricky to decipher the difference and determine which ones you actually need and why.
The pre employment background checks that matter most:
1 – IDV Check
Identity Verification is the check you do first. Why? Because you want to make sure your candidate is who they say they are before you do spend any more time, money or energy in the process of completing any other checks. And, if you consider the fact that Identity Fraud is on the rise – with over 500 identities being compromised daily in the UK alone – the argument for doing this check becomes even more obvious.
2 – Visa and Work Entitlement Checks
Once you've completed an IDV, the next thing you want to check is whether your candidate has the relevant working rights. Are they a citizen? If so, this is a process you can skip. But with almost 2.3 million EU nationals alone living in the UK and 7 million migrants living in Australia, there's a high probability that your candidate maybe someone who's in the country on a visa. Legally, you have to check every non-citizen's working rights. This is where Visa and Work Entitlement checks come in.
In Australia, a simple way to do this is by conducting a Vevo check. When you use an automated system that's directly plugged into government sources, like ours, this process can literally be as simple as 3 easy steps. And it can take as little as 5 minutes. In the UK, the process doesn't differ much. Check out this Guide to Right to Work Checks by the UK Government.
3 – Reference Checks
Tracking down a former employer can be an exercise in to-and-fro frustration. Luckily, online referencing tools simplify employment reference checking. It cuts down administrative time. And ultimately improves the experience for everyone involved.
With the right electronic referencing system, your applicant(s) can input their referees' contact details directly into the system. A preconfigured or custom workflow then triggers an invitation notice to each employment referee asking them to fill out the candidate's employment details through the secure portal. The entire reference questionnaire, of course, being a pre-set template (often with the ability to easily add or remove questions based on the role requirements etc.).
Follow up reminders can also be built into your tool. Employment references are automatically received and the candidate's records are updated without any need for manual action. Remind me again why we've ever done it any other way?!
4 – Police Check
Nine times out of ten, it's less about whether your preferred candidate has a criminal record and more about whether they have disclosed it to you in the recruitment process. But every once in a while, in specific industries like finance, there are regulations against hiring people who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
Whatever your reason for checking, it's always a good idea that you do. In Australia, you can obtain a national police check through agencies that are accredited with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) and work with police agencies across the country. In the UK there's a similar process for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) police checks. If you run fewer than 100 checks a year you'll need to work with a company authorized by the DBS to do checks on your behalf. Information is available online to help you decide if the job you're looking to fill requires a basic, standard or enhanced check.
A couple of other things to keep in mind when it comes to pre-employment screening:
- Explain to the candidate what checks you are doing and why they are relevant to the role. Be sure to get their consent and help them understand where their personal information will be stored (if applicable).
- You can coordinate some of these checks manually. But this is likely to take a lot of your time.
- Automated checks don't have to be expensive. There are platforms that let you pay per check – so you only pay for what you need and what you use.
- It's important to keep candidate experience top of mind when coordinating background checks or deciding on an automated provider.
- Doing background checks the wrong way can really slow down your time-to-hire rate.
- If you are currently doing pre employment background checks but you're finding this process particularly slow, read this article.
It's true that performing background checks is often seen as a pain in the behind. It's that final step before you can make the offer. Manual checks can take a long time. It's often seen as a tick-box exercise. And you have so many better things to do with your time than struggle with the paperwork and chasing back and forth often associated with manual background checking. Knowing why it's good to do them, which ones to start with and which processes are best for your hiring needs can make things so much easier, less stressful and faster.

The U.S. urban eVTOL market could exceed $17 billion by 2040, but the vast majority of potential passengers still consider the vehicles unsafe, according to consulting firm Deloitte Global. This will cause the cargo segment of the market to lead any advancement in the passenger market, it added.
"Considerable strides [have been] made in the advancement of elevated mobility, particularly in the last two years," said Robin Lineberger, Deloitte Global's aerospace and defense leader. "While the public may focus on the viability of eVTOLs in human transportation, the movement of cargo is just as important and will likely drive early adoption of these aircraft. However, eVTOLs pose a significant risk to traditional helicopter manufacturers; if they are to successfully traverse this disruption, they should consider reexamining product mixes, business models, or even shifting their focus to evolving markets for unmanned aerial transport," said Lineberger.
However, Deloitte pointed out that considerable regulatory, technology, and public acceptance obstacles remain before eVTOLs can be deployed in a meaningful way. The firm recently surveyed 10,000 potential autonomous eVTOL users and found that 80 percent believe these vehicles "will not be safe" or are uncertain about their safety. The firm noted that enabling technologies still need to mature. Specifically, it said that advancements in onboard collision avoidance systems, battery management, and ground infrastructure are still needed.
Financing the latter will be particularly challenging, as Deloitte noted, "Significant capital will be required to build vertiports and other infrastructure components. To secure adequate funding, extending current public/private partnerships or establishing new models will be necessary."

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) — A debate between France and Germany over how to boost the euro-zone bailout fund's firepower forced European leaders on Thursday to schedule a second summit meeting for next week as hopes faded for a comprehensive plan to emerge from a Sunday gathering of European leaders.
Sunday's Brussels summit had become the focal point for investor hopes since finance ministers from the Group of 20 last weekend effectively declared it a deadline for Europe to get its house in order amid fears the ongoing debt crisis could wreck the region's banks and trigger a potentially massive global slowdown.
In addition to figuring out how to leverage the 440 billion euro ($603 billion) EFSF, euro-zone officials are also expected to press ahead with plans to require European banks to raise more capital. A debate over whether to require private bondholders to take larger writedowns on their holdings of Greek government debt beyond the 21% agreed at a July summit is also expected to continue.
In a joint statement, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said they would meet Saturday in Brussels. The Sunday summit will focus on a "comprehensive and ambitious" response to the debt crisis, with euro-zone leaders to adopt a plan at a second meeting to take place no later than Wednesday.
EFSF battle seen as crucial
But the battle over the EFSF's role in the fight to contain the crisis still appears to be the key issue, analysts said. At €440 billion, the EFSF, still isn't seen as big enough to rescue the likes of Spain or Italy, if needed, while backstopping the region's banks.
Officials have focused on calls to boost the fund's effective buying power through leverage, providing it with firepower in the range of €1 trillion to €2 trillion.
France is said to prefer a plan that would see the EFSF granted a banking license, allowing it to access collateralized funding from the European Central Bank. That would see future bond-buying efforts effectively funded by expanding the ECB's balance sheet.
Such a move is fiercely opposed by German officials, as well as outgoing ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet and EFSF head Klaus Regling.
Germany is seen favoring a plan that would turn the EFSF into an insurer, covering 20% to 30% of private investors' losses on euro-zone government bond holdings, a move that could see the fund's firepower, now capped at 440 billion euros ($607.6 billion) effectively leveraged to around €1 trillion or more.
The insurance plan, however, has been criticized by many economists and strategists, who contend it would potentially create a two-tier bond market within the euro zone while likely proving unable to stave off any meltdown in Italy's massive bond market.
"The problem is one of 'self insurance,' and the idea of Spain and Italy putting up funds in the event of a stressful scenario is non-serious," said John J. Hardy, head of FX strategy at Saxo Bank in London.
The problem should be familiar to anyone who's taken a basic finance class, said Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income research at Evolution Securities.
Any entity guaranteeing a loan has to be looked at as if it were the borrower itself, forcing the lender to consider the guarantor's ability and willingness to pay up if the borrower fails to repay, he said. So any close trading link between the borrower and the guarantor diminishes the value of the guarantee.
So if Italy, which like all euro members is a contributor to the EFSF, were to default, it would raise questions about the ability of the guarantor to meet its obligations.
"In those circumstances, I think that the likelihood of the EFSF meeting bond holders' losses (even up to a pre-agreed percentage) is very low indeed," Jenkins said in a note to clients.
Nicholas Spiro, managing director of Spiro Sovereign Strategy, a London consulting firm, said the insurance plan would have worked well when the crisis was confined to small nations on the periphery of the euro zone — Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
With the crisis now threatening Spain and Italy and pushing France's 10-year yield premium over German bunds to levels unseen since the mid-1990s, almost half of the euro-zone government bond market is subject to heightened credit risk, he said.
"This scheme of insurance would provide scant reassurance as far as investors are concerned when it comes to shoring up Italy's bond market," Spiro said.
And protecting Italy, the euro-zone's third largest economy and the world's third largest issuer of government bonds, is the key battle right now, he said.
The yield on 10-year Italian government bonds (10YR_ITA) touched 6% Thursday, a level unseen since the ECB began buying Italian and Spanish debt in early August. More troubling, noted Andrew Wilkinson, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. in New York, is that the yield premium demanded by investors to hold 10-year Italian bonds over German bunds hit 3.97 percentage points.
The spread hasn't pressed above the 4 percentage point level since March 1996, he said.
Meanwhile, the French government wants to avoid having to impose further austerity measures ahead of presidential elections set to take place in the spring, analysts say. Fitch Ratings earlier this week warned that the cost of shoring up French banks or increasing the government's exposure to sovereign bailouts could put the country's triple-A credit rating at risk. Read earlier story: France in firing line as crisis weighs on core.
At the same time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to avoid boosting Germany's direct exposure to the EFSF after recently winning a closely-watched vote to expand the fund's bailout powers — and boost Germany's contribution to €211 billion amid growing turmoil within her own ruling coalition, economists said.
Germany also wants to see the ECB out of the government bond-buying business, an activity that tarnishes the central bank's independence by effectively giving it a role in fiscal policy.
"Obviously this is a very politically attractive scheme [for Germany] in the sense that it precludes a bigger" commitment to the EFSF, Spiro said.
In the end, the conflict underlines worries the summit won't produce an outcome that produces a big enough weapon to lastingly reassure investors that Europe can keep the crisis from spreading, economists said.
"By offering guarantees of funding, they are only putting off the day when they will have to make good on those promises, and thus the day that they will have to raise the money," said Carl B. Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, N.Y., in a note.

Does Good Debt vs Bad Debt really matter?
Debt is a normal part of life for many of us, and it comes in a variety of forms but what do we mean by good debt vs bad debt? By definition, debt is quite a simple concept – a sum of money that is owed. Yet debt varies from one individual to the next, based on a variety of factors such as financial circumstances, lifestyle, family structure and personal choices. As not all debt is created equal, I'm going to break it down further and explore the concepts of good debt and bad debt.
Good Debt
Bad Debt
A bad debt is debt for items that won't go up in value – depreciating assets. Bad debts won't help you generate an income, so using your credit card for that new Gucci handbag is not a good debt. It also won't increase your net worth. Think about cars, too. They lose their value, and you're unlikely to sell it for as much as you paid for it. The same goes for that boat you bought for family weekends, and the wedding you borrowed money for. Now that's not to say don't borrow for these items but, where and when you can, it's always best to pay cash and save on interest charges.

TBY talks to Erdem Başçı, Governor of the Central Bank of Turkey (CBT), on inflation targets, lowering the CAD, and managing foreign inflows.
BIOGRAPHYBorn in 1966, Erdem Başçı obtained his PhD in Economics from Bilkent University in 1995, and between 1995 and 2003 worked as an assistant professor. He also lectured at the University of York as an honorary visiting fellow in 1999, and his academic papers have been published in the Oxford Economic Papers, the Journal of Banking and Finance, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, and the Journal of Mathematical Economics. Having served as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey since October 9, 2003, he was appointed Governor on April 19, 2011.
What steps is the Central Bank of Turkey (CBT) taking to ensure that Turkey meets its 5% target for inflation in 2013?
Expectations, credit, and currency are three key variables that determine price inflation. Inflation expectations are close to above our medium-term target of 5%. Measures to curb excessively rapid credit growth will be instrumental in containing any inflationary pressures in the coming months. These measures are mostly macroprudential in nature since rate hikes would be counterproductive in the global low-interest rate environment.
To what extent is a structural reduction in the current account deficit (CAD) a priority for Turkey, and how can the country achieve its target for the CAD to GDP ratio in 2013?
In 2012, the CBT, jointly with other agencies responsible for financial stability, was able to attain more balanced domestic credit growth. This was instrumental in bringing the CAD from $75.1 billion at the end of 2011 to $47.5 billion at the end of 2012. The 2013 CAD forecast in the Medium Term Program (MTP) of the government is 7.1% of GDP. Structural measures listed in the MTP to boost savings and energy supply are expected to improve the outlook on the external balance, once they are implemented.
Turkey's GDP growth has seen a sharp drop from its 2011 high. What steps is the CBT taking to help the country to meet its GDP growth target in 2013 and achieve a sustainable growth trend?
Price stability, financial stability, and productivity are the three essential factors that determine the growth potential of a country. The Central Bank Law, which was amended in 2001, charges the Bank with taking the necessary measures to contribute to financial stability besides its primary mandate of achieving and maintaining price stability. The CBT will continue to support balanced growth mainly via these two channels.
What are the CBT's monetary policy priorities looking forward?
Although global risk perceptions have improved considerably as a result of the ongoing monetary expansion in advanced economies, there is still an elevated level of volatility in capital flows to emerging markets. This condition necessitates a combination of flexible monetary policy and automatic stabilizers.
How would you characterize the medium-term outlook for the Turkish economy?
The Turkish economy has been one of the top performers during the recovery period after the Lehman crisis. Meanwhile, employment has continued to grow rapidly and unemployment rates decreased to levels lower than pre-crisis times despite a significant rise in labor market participation rates. Moreover, the rebalancing between domestic and external demand was achieved to a large extent in 2012. Therefore, the Turkish economy is now closer to a sustainable and balanced growth path thanks to prudent macroeconomic policies and solid macroeconomic foundations.
You were selected as the Central Bank Governor of the Year 2013 for Europe by The Banker in recognition of your apt management of foreign inflows. To what extent will this remain a policy priority in 2013?
Monetary expansion in the developed economies has been the main factor behind the rising volatility of capital flows. Volatile capital flows pose a significant challenge for emerging market policymakers. As a result, some emerging markets have resorted to capital flow measures in order to deal with the adverse consequences of capital flow volatility. In contrast, Turkey has been using a mix of macroprudential measures along with a relatively low and yet quite flexible interest rate policy in the face of volatile short-term capital flows. The policies in place curbed the excessively rapid domestic credit growth, avoided the excessive swings in currency, and thereby rebalanced foreign and domestic demand.
Guest Speaker
Sir Suma Chakrabarti, President, European Bank for Reconstruction & Development
Sustainable development is growth that doesn't burden our children or grandchildren. We at the EBRD believe that the current economic crisis is an opportunity for us all to have a close look at the way we manage our resources and build our future. And we are already doing exactly that in Turkey.read article

A Zambian illegal immigrant who fiddled more than £30,000 in benefits cannot be kicked out of the United Kingdom — because of human rights laws.
And amazingly, a series of rulings means single mother Joy Chishimba can not only stay in her council flat in London's fashionable Chelsea but continue claiming benefits.
An illegal immigrant who used a fake UK passport to claim more than £30,000 in benefits has been allowed to keep living in a Chelsea council flat because of human rights legislation.
Joy Chishimba, 26, entered Britain legally from Zambia on a student visa but when it was close to its expiration date she fell pregnant and bought the bogus passport so she could stay in the UK.
She then used the document to move into a council flat on the Sutton Estate near King's Road and the Royal Brompton Hospital in 2009 and to claim benefits. When she was eventually rumbled she admitted fraudulently claiming £30,000 in housing benefit and £4,000 in income support.
She was given a suspended ten-month jail sentence.
But her lawyers claimed separating her from her UK-born daughter would breach article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1988 that guarantees the right to a family life.
So a judge let her remain in the UK until at least 2014 — and as a result she can now claim benefits legally.
Kensington and Chelsea Council, which has 8,000 people on its homes waiting list, tried to evict her, saying she made herself "intentionally homeless" by committing the fraud.
But she complained she would be left wandering the streets and won a review.
Chishimba claims she only turned to crime out of desperation when her ex-boyfriend kicked her out. She said: "I just didn't wake up one day and decide to do this. I had to protect my daughter."
A council spokesman said: ' 'Where property has been obtained fraudulently we always take legal action to recover it for the benefit of genuine claimants.'
The UK Border Agency said there would be new legislation by the summer and added: "Public interest in removal should outweigh the migrant's right to family life."

The Willeyville: Revival of The Flats
I've been sitting on this post for a month or so. I'm sorry, I'm mean. I should have shared The Willeyville sooner because it's that good.
This Cleveland restaurant boasts the tagline "Handcrafted Consumables," and I feel like it's totally justified after having dinner and drinks there.
Eric heard about the spot from a friend and knew exactly where it was. I on the other hand have heard of the flats, but it was a bit before my time. So, this was a perfect introduction to the area for me.
The atmosphere is fun, upscale-casual and perfect for a few different groups including dates, girls night, or after-work cocktails. The seating works well for it, with quite a few two-tops, some longer high top tables and various other seating arrangements.
We started off with cocktails from their extensive list; I opted for the Shady Lane (it comes in a mason jar) which is one of their few gin options and it was probably one of the best mixed drinks I've ever had. The blackberry and lillet rouge mixed with Beefeater was a new concept to me, one which I will definitely try again in the future. E had The Derby (martini) which was a Maker's Mark concoction, and he liked it enough to stick with it for one more. Biters and syrups are house made – and well executed. I think they were around $9 a piece.
- Shady Lane: Beefeater Gin, Lillet Rouge, Blackberry Lime Syrup, Lime Juice, Key Lime Bitters
- The Derby: Maker's Mark , Sweet Vermouth, Orange Curaco, Lime Juice
Our server was really sweet; he knew the specials, had some really good suggestions and helped us decide when debating between two items. Actually, when we debated we actually just got both but, he did make suggestions.
We started with their handmade bread which was a freebie, and ordered warm marinated olives and the ricotta tasting. I could have ordered 3 more of each of these, especially the ricotta tasting, which is always changing. Basically, you get three types of ricotta, crackers and flatbread. DELICIOUS. Ours was merlot marinated, cocoa crusted and whipped. Loved the olives, too, but still felt like a barbarian when spitting out the pits. Fancy.
- warm marinated olives and smoked peppers $5
- ricotta tasting with apricot preserves, flatbread, crackers $10
Our dinner was great. I usually opt for multiple small plates in lieu of an entree so I gravitated to the shrimp ceviche and calamari for a dinner. The ceviche was pretty decent, not sure I'd get it again, but the calamari was wonderful. It was cooked just right and the toppings of cilantro aioli, relish and ginger flavoring were complimenting of the dish, not over powering. E went for the Duck Squared which was pretty good; the duck was cooked perfectly and the garnishes and sides were spot on.
- crispy ginger'd calamari with sweet & sour peanut relish and cilantro aioli $10
- duck squared with confit, bacon wrapped breast, red cabbage-feta strudel, candy cane beets, whipped carrots and cilantro $22
We both loved the restaurant and plan to head up again soon. Right now, there aren't a ton of things to do within walking distance, but it's great for those just going out to eat. Also, there is a pretty neat hotel next door called Aloft that would be cool for those looking for a weekend staycation, or just a night.

Having said that, if this really is a difficult job due to the fact the sofa came first before the animals, or you simply desire a leather cream sofa so severely, you must train your four-legged friends to stay off the furnishings. Not training them will result to unwanted discolorations and leaks.

Faculty Scholarly Dissemination Grants
Narratives of Otherness and Civilization on the Paths to California Gold
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Date Range
Scholarship on the California gold rush has undergone a renaissance of late, but comparatively few works have studied the migrations to the gold fields. While recent work has been done on the Argonauts (who went by sea), scholarship on the Overland migrants has stagnated since the work of Faragher and Unruh. Even more importantly, these two migrations have never been put into dialogue with each other. This paper addresses that lacuna. This paper argues that while both Overlanders and Argonauts shared certain assumptions about themselves and the various Others they encountered on their voyage, they perceived the landscapes, peoples, and built environments in fundamentally different, though linked, ways. Specifically, Overlanders traveling west understood their experiences through a narrative in which civilization replaced savagery, while the Argonauts viewed their experiences in Latin America through a narrative in which the colonial project regenerated a degraded society. Central to these judgments was the perceived distance of the peoples and places encountered by Anglo-American migrants from Anglo-American standards of democracy and capitalism. More than simply describing the contours of these narratives and their relationship to each other, this paper follows the migrants to California, arguing that experiences on the trip west were a major factor shaping the eventual articulation of the structure and logic of California s colonial society. Popular and official policies toward Spanish-speakers and Californian Indians in gold rush California reflected the migrant s perceptions of degraded civilization and savage wilderness that they had experienced on their journey west.

Last Friday, Ethereum core developer Afri Schoedon tweeted: "'Polkadot delivers what Serenity ought to be.' Change my mind."
The invitation to debate was perceived as a threat by many Ethereans. The vitriol Schoedon received from the post on Twitter and reddit prompted him to clarify that the original tweet was meant to stir up discussion (both tweets have since been deleted). But the severe backlash prompted Schoedon to announce that he's done with social media, and rumor has it that he's "done with Ethereum."
Why was there so much bile in response to Schoedon's tweet?
Tribalism is one answer. Yaz Khoury, director of developer relations at the Ethereum Classic Cooperative, said the mob action against Schoedon and Parity Technologies (the developers behind Polkadot) "is the result of toxic tribalism that haunted the space for a long time." Ethereum contributor María Paula Fernández suggested similar verbal abuse via social media has happened in the past, and though a few core people have moved to stop it, most "remain passive, silent, apolitical."
As discussed by ETHNews this weekend, Ethereum is no stranger to tribalism, and the forks and dissent in Ethereum rival the historic schisms of the Protestant Church. But it's important to note that this tribalism doesn't come primarily from core devs or the people collaborating to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem. Many people doing the creative work see the diversity of networks as an asset. Jeff Coleman and Hudson Jameson tweeted their support for Schoedon and his contributions, calling for more support and less vitriol. As Khoury noted, "Ethereum is a technology with many implementations and visions: Main network, Classic network, Polka Dot, and ETH 2.0. The diversity of networks is powerful."
But, as illustrated through this comic, others think of Parity as a threatening competitor to Ethereum and resent the grant given to Parity Technologies by the Ethereum foundation. Schoedon has been very involved in the advancement of Ethereum 2.0 (Serenity), but because he also works with Parity, some have accused him of spreading FUD against Ethereum, even though he did work not on Polkadot itself. These accusations reflect a strong "Us vs. Them" mentality when it comes to blockchains – a mentality that is the direct opposite to the bridge-building mentality that Parity demonstrates through Polkadot, which is a multi-chain technology.
This isn't to say there can't be legitimate critiques of Schoedon or that Schoedon hasn't critiqued other projects, but this isn't about one or two tweets or one or two people. It's about how we all interact. Tribalism is at work here, and this display of cannibalistic impulses channeled through social media intersects with the bigger issue of public discourse.
In 1985, well before mass adoption of the internet and social media, Neil Postman published Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. Postman argued that the advent of the visual medium of television had inaugurated a shift in the way public discourse takes place. He believed that America was moving toward an entertainment-oriented culture where the content of sustained, thoughtful conversation would be exchanged for empty discourse based on sound bites, informational snippets, and trivia. Instead of the dystopian world of Orwell's 1984, Postman predicted the world would look more like Huxley's Brave New World, where culture becomes a burlesque:"In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility."
And that was long before Twitter and reddit.
Postman's work is admittedly apocalyptic, and he didn't envision the positive contributions the internet and social networks would bring to the world. The internet makes global collaboration and awareness possible like never before. Social movements like #MeToo have generated widespread public discourse in ways that wouldn't have been possible before social media.
At the same time, the barriers to having sustained, non-combative discourse via public forums like Twitter and reddit are every day more apparent, and the apparent attacks on Afri Schoedon are just the most recent example. People don't tend to respond on social media so much as react. Twitter and reddit are stages, and it's more entertaining to get annoyed at a performance (tweet/comment) and post a derogatory response than to take time to assess the tweet/performance and engage with it thoughtfully. And once the negative reactions have started, it's easy for them to snowball because each new comment further cements and affirms the combative, tribalistic tone of the discourse.
Maybe it's time for Ethereum to have a conversation about how we have conversations. Does consensus mean everyone has to talk at once? Does transparency mean all discourse must be public? Should there be ground rules for engagement via social media? What should these rules be? Who should make them? What steps can we take to have discourse that does not devolve into theatre? Are there other mediums of engagement that are more conducive to facilitating healthy public discourse?
It's a truism that Ethereum is not just a technology, but a community. Maybe it's time to think about how "old" technological mediums like Twitter are shaping the discourse of newly forming blockchain communities.
Correction: This article originally stated that Afri Schoedon worked on Polkadot.

Billie Is Changing the Startup Industry One Razor at a Time
Crafted with women in mind.
Billie is the new female-first shaving and body company seeking to change the way women shop for razors and body products.

Four replacement blade cartridges cost $9 USD, and are delivered based on users' shave frequency – every one, two or three months. To go with the starters are the Shave Cream, Sudsy Body Wash and Dry-Bye Body Lotion, each made with no toxins or synthetic fragrances.
Founder Georgina Gooley began shaving with men's razors when she realized they were cheaper and shared with us why Billie is necessary:
"Billie was created to offer a shaving experience that puts women first-premium-quality razors and healthy body care products delivered at half the price of the competition and definitely without the pink tax."
To purchase the $9 USD starter kit, $8 USD shave cream or $12 USD body lotion, go to Billie's webstore now.
