  • Syria: Renewed Calls for Bassel Khartabil's Release on 4Th
    SNHR is an independent, non-governmental, impartial human rights organization that was founded in June 2011. SNHR is a Thuresday, March 17 , 2016 certified source for the United Nation in all of its statistics. Joint Syria: Renewed calls for Bassel Khartabil’s release Statment on 4th anniversary of detention (DATE) Syria’s authorities should reveal the where- abouts of Bassel Khartabil, a software developer and free speech activist, and release him immediately, 31 organizations said on the fourth anniversary of his detention On 15 March 2012, Military Intelligence arrested Khartabil and held him in incommunicado deten- tion for eight months before moving him to ‘Adra prison in Damascus in December 2012. During this time he was subjected to torture and ill-treatment. He remained in ‘Adra until 03 October 2015, when he managed to inform his family that he was being transferred to an undisclosed location. Since then his whereabouts remain unknown and there are serious concerns for his life. Based on unconfirmed information that the family received from some local sources, there are fears that he may have been tried and sentenced to death by a Military Field Court in the Military Police headquarters in Al-Qaboun, Damascus. These courts are notorious for conducting closed-door pro- ceedings that do not meet minimum international standards for a fair trial. Since his detention, many human rights groups have campaigned for his release. On 21 April 2015, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared his detention a violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and called for his release, yet the Syrian authorities refuse to free him.

  • Meta-Analysis of the Relationships Between Different Leadership Practices and Organizational, Teaming, Leader, and Employee Outcomes*
    Journal of International Education and Leadership Volume 8 Issue 2 Fall 2018 http://www.jielusa.org/ ISSN: 2161-7252 Meta-Analysis of the Relationships Between Different Leadership Practices and Organizational, Teaming, Leader, and Employee Outcomes* Carl J. Dunst Orelena Hawks Puckett Institute Mary Beth Bruder University of Connecticut Health Center Deborah W. Hamby, Robin Howse, and Helen Wilkie Orelena Hawks Puckett Institute * This study was supported, in part, by funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (No. 325B120004) for the Early Childhood Personnel Center, University of Connecticut Health Center. The contents and opinions expressed, however, are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the policy or official position of either the Department or Office and no endorsement should be inferred or implied. The authors report no conflicts of interest. The meta-analysis described in this paper evaluated the relationships between 11 types of leadership practices and 7 organizational, teaming, leader, and employee outcomes. A main focus of analysis was whether the leadership practices were differentially related to the study outcomes. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the correlations between leadership subscale measures (rather than global measures of leadership) and outcomes of interest were reported. The random effects weighted average correlations between the independent and dependent measures were used as the sizes of effects for evaluating the influences of the leadership practices on the outcome measures. One hundred and twelve studies met the inclusion criteria and included 39,433 participants. The studies were conducted in 31 countries in different kinds of programs, organizations, companies, and businesses.

  • Join Statment Syria: Fears for Life of Free Expression Advocate Bassel
    SNHR is an independent, non-governmental, impartial human rights organization that was founded in June 2011. SNHR is a Friday, November 20, 2015 certified source for the United Nation in all of its statistics. Join Syria: Fears for Life of Free Expression Advocate Statment Bassel Khartabil, in Undiscloed Location, May Face Death Sentence (Beirut, November 20, 2015) - Bassel Khartabil, a defender of freedom expression being held in conditions amounting to enforced disappearance may be facing a death sentence, XX local and international organizations said today. His wife has received unconfirmed reports that a Military Field Court has sentenced him to death. His whereabouts should be disclosed immediately, and he should be released unconditionally, the groups said. Military Intelligence detained Khartabil on March 15, 2012. He was held in incommuni- cado detention for eight months and was subjected to torture and other ill-treatment. He is facing Military Field Court proceedings for his peaceful activities in support of free- dom of expression. A military judge interrogated Khartabil for a few minutes on Decem- ber 9, 2012, but he had heard nothing further about his legal case, he told his family. In December 2012 he was moved to ‘Adra prison in Damascus, where he remained until October 3, 2015, when he was transferred to an undisclosed location and has not been heard of since. Reports that his wife received from alleged sources inside Military Intelligence suggest that since his disappearance he has been tried by a Military Field Court in the Military Police headquarters in al-Qaboun, which sentenced him to death.

Virtual Worlds Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, USA In an increasingly scientifi c and technological world the need for a knowledgeable citizenry, individuals who understand the fundamentals of technological ideas and think Leonard Annetta and Stephen Bronack (Eds.) critically about these issues, has never been greater. There is growing appreciation across the broader education community that educational three dimensional virtual learning environments are part of the daily lives of citizens, not only regularly occurring in schools and in after-school programs, but also in informal settings like museums, science centers, zoos and aquariums, at home with family, in the workplace, during leisure time when children and adults participate in community-based activities. This blurring of the boundaries of where, when, why, how and with whom people learn, along with better understandings of learning as a personally constructed, life-long process of making meaning and shaping identity, has initiated a growing awareness in the fi eld that the questions and frameworks guiding assessing these environments (Eds.) Bronack Stephen and Annetta Leonard should be reconsidered in light of these new realities. The audience for this book will be researchers working in the Serious Games arena along with distance education instructors and administrators and students on the cutting edge of assessment in computer generated environments.

  • Free Ebook Library in Morocco (Stanfords Travel Classics)
    Free Ebook Library In Morocco (Stanfords Travel Classics) Edith Wharton journeyed to Morocco in the final days of the First World War, at a time when there was no guidebook to the country.[i]In Morocco[/i] is the classic account of her expedition. A seemingly unlikely chronicler, Wharton, more usually associated with American high society, explored the country for a month by military vehicle. Travelling from Rabat and Fez to Moulay Idriss and Marrakech, she recorded her encounters with Morocco's people, traditions and ceremonies, capturing a country at a moment of transition from an almost unknown, road less empire to a popular tourist destination. Her descriptions of the places she visited - mosques, palaces, ruins, markets and harems - are typically observant and brim with color and spirit, whilst her sketches of the country's history and art are rigorous but accessible.This is a wonderful account by one of the most celebrated novelists and travel writers of the 20th century and is a fascinating portrayal of an extraordinary country. Stanfords Travel Classics feature some of the finest historical travel writing in the English language, with authors hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. Every title has been rest in a contemporary typeface and has been printed to a high quality production specification, to create a series that every lover of fine travel literature will want to collect and keep.

An essential read on early African explorationBy FantasymanThis book, and the second volume, comprise one of the most incredible true tales of adventure you will ever read. Mungo Park was not only a keen observer of people, their character and customs, he also had a keen eye for the lands he traveled through. This is a tremendously well written personal narrative of one man's journey through deepest, darkest Africa to places no white man had ever been before.Mungo Park's story of his first journey to Africa, told in his own words, comprises one of the most compelling tales of adventure I have ever read. That he survived this journey at all may be the most sensational aspect of this record of his travels. It would be wonderful to be able to read the narrative of his second journey into Africa, unfortunately, he was killed on that trip and his journal was never recovered.Wikipedia has a very nice article on him.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

    #FREEBASSEL Lettre de soutien au syrien Bassel Khartabil Depuis plus de trois mois, nous sommes sans nouvelles du syrien Bassel Khartabil, arrêté à Damas dans des conditions qui semblent sommaires et arbitraires. Acteur reconnu de la communauté open source, cette dernière se mobilise pour obtenir sa libération ou tout du moins des informations sur les causes et les conditions de sa détention. Nous avons traduit la lettre de soutien que vous pouvez signer sur cette page. #FREEBASSEL URL d’origine du document Juin 2012 – FreeBassel.org (Traduction Framalang : Goofy et Ju) Le 15 mars 2012, Bassel Khartabil a été incarcéré suite à une vague d’arrestations dans le quartier de Mazzeh à Damas (Syrie). Depuis cette date, sa famille n’a reçu aucune explication sur sa détention ni aucune information sur les conditions de sa captivité. Toutefois, sa famille vient d’apprendre par un détenu libéré qu’il est incarcéré dans la section de haute-sécurité de Kafer Sousa à Damas. Bassel Khartabil, un Syrien de 31 ans né en Palestine, est un ingénieur en informatique reconnu pour ses compétences dans le développement de logiciels open source qui contribuent à l’élaboration d’Internet. Il a commencé sa carrière il y a dix ans en Syrie comme directeur technique d’un certain nombre d’entreprises locales en travaillant sur des projets culturels tels que la réhabilitation du site archéologique de Palmyre et le magazine Forward Syria. Depuis, Bassel s’est fait connaître dans le monde entier par son engagement résolu en faveur du Web ouvert, sa capacité à enseigner aux autres les technologies de l’information, et l’aide bénévole qu’il apporte à chaque occasion.
