About the GO Foundation
The GO Foundation was established in 2009 by Sydney Swans footballers Adam Goodes and Michael O'Loughlin and their friend James Gallichan who all believe that education is an important factor to help Indigenous Australians achieve a brighter future.
The GO Foundation's Mission is to provide scholarships at quality schools, mentoring and pathways to help Indigenous Australians to achieve a brighter future.
The Foundation's Purpose is to empower the next generation of indigenous leaders through education.
We are a values driven organisation. Our values are Integrity. Equality. Opportunity. Strength in culture.
The GO Foundation provides scholarships to Indigenous students from kindergarten through to university, in public and independent schools, to students who live with family, in community and on country. Through a GO scholarship, our students access the tools and resources they need to ensure their journey through school is as rich and rewarding as possible. We currently have awarded over 500 scholarships to date to students mostly based in Sydney and Adelaide with plans to extend to Canberra in 2021 and eventually across Australia.
With their scholarship funds, our students can cover their educational needs, including laptops, wi-fi access at home, sporting equipment, musical instruments, excursions, school trips, and food at the canteen. The GO scholarship is an entry point to the GO Ecosystem, a model of collaborative impact where our partners work with us to provide GO students with a broad range of opportunities.
Our partners, including the Public Education Foundation and CareerTrackers, work together to broaden our students' perspectives and provide access to many opportunities including cultural mentoring, homework support, leadership training, STEM training, exposure to a broad range of career options, work experience and paid internships. Once a GO student, Always a GO student, so this mentoring and support continues long after the GO scholarship has ended.
At the heart of the GO Ecosystem is a burning desire to strengthen our students' cultural identity – to connect them in a meaningful way to their culture and heritage. By sharing our students' perspective and their culture with our Ecosystem partners, we hope to create workplaces that are truly inclusive and welcoming of all Australians.

I have bet the IT-department at my customer that I would do that if the test-team has finnished their testing in one day (which is the set time).
Although they never has done that before i am still a bit nervous. It looks really big and hard to ... "handle". I'll try to find a loophole to get me out of it... maybe if i made a replica of marispan and ate it really fast they wouldn't know the difference.

Thanksgiving Memories
Linda Chavez
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. One of my first memories is of sucking on a big turkey drumstick, which remains the most prized part of the turkey. My family's meals were never as elaborate as the ones pictured in ladies magazines or posted on the bulletin boards in school, but they were special nonetheless. Since my mother worked full time, unusual in that era, our cranberry sauce came from a can, a thick gelatinous concoction that wobbled on the plate like Jell-O. But the turkey and the gravy were homemade, as was the sage stuffing, which I refused to taste until I was a teenager.
Meals in my family were always quick affairs, hastily put together and eaten on TV trays in front of the television set, with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley providing the only dinnertime conversation. But Thanksgiving was different.
My mother brought out the tablecloth her mother had crocheted and set the kitchen table with platters, a gravy boat, and silver-plated flatware handed down from her grandmother. She would get up at the crack of dawn, often still tired from working late nights in a restaurant, dress the turkey and put it in the oven to cook slowly all day. My job was to baste the bird every 20 minutes, until it reached a lovely caramel color, and peel the potatoes that my father would later mash with lots of butter until they turned a creamy consistency with not a single lump. After my mother took the turkey out of the oven to "set" before carving, she whipped up a batch of biscuits that somehow managed to have a crunchy crust with a fluffy center, a feat I have yet to master.
Thanksgiving dinner was never complete without my father telling the story about his own childhood memories of the holiday. Growing up in the Depression was difficult enough, but for much of my father's early childhood, his father was in prison in Leavenworth, Kan., for violating the Volstead Act, which prohibited the sale of alcohol in the United States. My grandfather, Ambrose, was abstemious himself but saw no reason why others shouldn't enjoy a glass of whiskey or a beer or two on occasion, and was happy to supply much of Albuquerque with alcohol he obtained by regular runs across the border into Mexico. The federal government saw things differently. Ambrose spent 11 years in the penitentiary, leaving his wife and four children in desperate poverty. My father would always begin the meal by telling of the time an uncle dropped by before Thanksgiving to give the family some money for their dinner, but it was only enough to buy a pound of bologna at the local market. He described his humiliation standing at the butcher's counter waiting to buy the lunchmeat while his neighbors collected their turkeys and yams.
The story made me feel both thankful and a little guilty. We had so much more than my father did when he was a boy, but we would probably be considered poor by today's standards. We lived in a two-room basement apartment until I was 13. My parents slept on a pull-out couch in the living room, while my sister and I slept in one bed in the tiny bedroom, and we shared a single bathroom with several other families in the apartment building. But we always had enough food to eat, and we never missed a Thanksgiving meal. Television was a less pernicious influence then in fostering a sense of deprivation than it is today. There were many working-class characters on TV in the 1950s, and I could identify with the shabby little apartment that Ralph and Alice Kramden shared on "The Honeymooners," while aspiring to a room of my own like Betty's in "Father Knows Best." Still, like most kids, I envied what some of my friends possessed. My father's stories helped put everything in perspective.
My father died in 1978, but every Thanksgiving I remember his story as if it were my own. Like the cranberries that I now cook from scratch, it gives the feast its bittersweet edge to remind me how truly thankful we all should be every day of the year.

Trump declares national emergency to build border wall, inviting relatives of Americans killed by illegal immigrants to press conference
Clutching photographs of loved ones killed by illegal immigrants, grieving relatives attended the dramatic declaration which will will now give Trump access to billions of dollars for his project which was a key promise during his presidential campaign
By Patrick Knox
FAMILY members of people killed by illegal migrants who crossed through the US-Mexico border were invited to hear Donald Trump's historic declaration of a national emergency.
They gathered with large photographs of their dead loved ones to hear the US President's brazen attempt to bypass Congress, which approved far less money for his proposed wall than he had sought— so he can halt the "invasions of drugs and gangs".

Building the wall was a key promise of Trump's presidential campaign, but Democrats have slammed the emergency declaration as a "gross abuse of power" and unconstitutional.
Speaking to journalists at the White House, Trump said: "Everyone knows that walls work.
"I'm going to be signing a national emergency
"We have an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs, invasion of people, and it's unacceptable.
"We're going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border."
Everyone knows that walls work… We have an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs invasion of people, and it's unacceptable
The President said the emergency would allow him to get almost $8bn for the wall and said he would sign the authorising paperwork later in the day in the Oval Office.
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Chuck Schumer, the Senate's top Democrat, swiftly responded to Trump's declaration.
In a joint statement, they said: "The President's actions clearly violate the Congress' exclusive power of the purse, which our Founders enshrined in the Constitution," they said in a statement.
"The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the courts, and in the public, using every remedy available.
The president acknowledged that his order would face a lengthy legal challenge.
But he vowed: "We'll win in the Supreme Court."
Trump has argued the wall is needed to curb illegal immigrants and illicit drugs streaming across the southern border.
But statistics that show illegal immigration there is at a 20-year low and that many drug shipments are likely smuggled through legal ports of entry.

Attending the press conference were a half-dozen women holding poster-sized pictures of family members killed by illegal immigrants preceded Trump into the Rose Garden.
He cited their presence in announcing the emergency declaration.
Trump on Friday estimated the order could free up as much as $8 billion to construct the wall.
The funds would cover just part of the estimated $23 billion cost of the wall promised by Trump along the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico.

National emergency: How Trump could secure border wall funding with presidential declaration
THE Trump administration has spent months trying to figure out how the president might be able to move forward with the wall the central promise of his 2016 campaign if Congress refuses to give him the money.
As early as last March, Trump was publicly floating the idea of using the military for the task.
"Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!" he tweeted.
But it's Congress not the president that controls the country's purse strings and must appropriate money he wants to spend.
Among the laws Trump could turn to is Section 2808 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code pertaining to military construction.
According to the statute, if the president declares an emergency "that requires use of the armed forces," the Defense secretary "may undertake military construction projects, and may authorize the Secretaries of the military departments to undertake military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces."
Another law, Section 2293 of the code's Title33, allows the diversion of funds from an Army civil works project to a mission that is "essential to the national defense."
Congressional aides say there is $21 billion in military construction funds that could potentially be used for a wall in the event Trump declares an emergency.
There is about $10 billion in funds from the current 2019 fiscal year that ends on 30 September, and another $11 billion from the previous four years that haven't been obligated or contracted for a project, the aides said.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the funding details.
The Defense Department has declined to provide any details on the amount of money available.
The congressional aides said their data came from the Pentagon.
As an example, the aides said there is funding for a medical facility at a U.S. base in Germany that has been partially built.
If those funds are used, the medical center could be left half built.
The aides said that while the president can decide to use military construction funds, it would likely be up to the Defense Department to determine which specific projects would lose their money.

On the 1 February 1939 exactly 139 young males entered the doors of Newcastle Technical High for the first time, which was located at Tighes Hill on the site of the current TAFE Campus.
Led by headmaster P.G. Price, the school offered mathematics, science, english, history, German, woodwork and metalwork for its young male cohort. As the school's student numbers increased, so did the subjects offered.
At the start of the 1950s the Technical High vacated its Tighes Hill site to relocate to Chatham Street, Broadmeadow - where it continued as Tech High until 1977. In 1977 it amalgamated with Cooks Hill Girls High School and became Merewether High School - a comprehensive co-educational high school, which drew students from the suburbs of Carrington, Wickham, Hamilton and Merewether.
A building program began just before the merger, with new blocks (A–D) being constructed, and blocks F–G being added later. The school included an industrial arts block (now the covered outdoor learning area or COLA), K Block (the library), two bike sheds (since removed) and a canteen (since rebuilt). L block was added in the 1960s.
Many buildings sustained severe damage in the 1989 Earthquake, but were repaired thereafter. Another more recent event that affected the school was the floods of June 2007, which toppled trees and required the replacement of carpets in some blocks' lower floors e.g. K block, The Library.
The final principals of both schools are memorialised in the naming of the Bensley Hall and the Foley Library on the present campus.
Since 1989 enrolment is determined by an academic selection process. The school has a planned capacity of 1,080 students, 180 for each year from Year 7 to Year 12. It first reached its enrolment capacity across all years in 2005.
Suburb of Broadmeadow
Broadmeadow was originally part of the Newcastle Pasturage Reserve of 648 hectares. It developed around the Great Northern Railway, the road to Newcastle's western suburbs and the construction of the Sydney to Newcastle Railway in the 1880s.
Nineways is a major intersection at Broadmeadow, originally constructed as a landscaped garden in the centre of a roundabout at the intersection of nine roads/tramlines that converge there, the area was later reconstructed to have a set of traffic lights connected to only four roads - the other roads were variously partly or fully closed off.
At Nineways stood the Century Theatre, rebuilt by Hoyts Theatres after World War II, with vast foyers on two floors and seating 1600, as one of Newcastle's premier theatres for stage and screen.
It was often a venue for symphony orchestra concerts after the closure of the city's Victoria Theatre, but the exodus from cinemas because of television caused its closure in the early 1970s. It was said to have sustained severe structural damage during the 1989 earthquake, and was subsequently quickly demolished, amidst great controversy.
Suburb of Merewether
In 1835 Dr James Mitchell made application to purchase land of about 900 acres south of Newcastle. later additions to this grant was made by purchase A. W. Scott's grant to the east. The area was named Burwood estate.
Dr Mitchell's eldest daughter married Edward Christopher Merewether who had arrived in Newcastle as the General Superintendent of the A.A. Co.. They built and lived in The Ridge and the area changed names from Burwood, to Merewether.
Burwood estate was divided into a number of townships. East of Watkins street was "The Pottery", The Junction remains, to the west was Burwood then further west was the Glebe. Another area, The Racecourse was adjacent to Frederick street near Dixon Park.
Merewether Council was incorporated in 1885. The first mayor was F. Kempster. By the 1930's Merewether had an area of 1,114 acres and a population of 8,653. Council chambers were located in Llewellyn street.
Building in the area was held up by bank lending restrictions as a result of possible mine subsidence. Consequently development in the suburb did not take off until the passing of the Mine Subsidence act in 1929 which gave assurances as to incidents involving damage caused through mine subsidence.
Early industries were few, the area was almost exclusively devoted to coal mining, but there were a number of potteries notably those belonging to Hughes and Drury, Welhams and Bowtell. Bowtell's pit was bounded by Hickson, Margaret and Morgan streets and was 90 feet (30m) deep.
By 1877 there were seven brickworks operating but by 1977 only one survived near the Junction School. A copper smelting works operated at Burwood (Glenrock lagoon) during the 1830's and closed down in 1862.
The Newcastle Coal Mining Co amongst many others were large coal miners in the area. The Scottish Australain Mining Company later took over the burwood mines.
The early water supply was provided through wells or springs. Offen during dry weather the many creeks in the area would dry up and those without wells would travel to the Wallaby Well (near Beaumont St and Glebe Rd). Washing was often done there too.
Burwood beach was known as the Gulf.
The first ocean baths at Merewether were built in 1926, partly in reaction to the sewerage coming from the gulf. In 1928 construction work on the existing baths was begun. The remains of the first small baths are still used slightly to the north. Dixon Park was named after Jonathon Dixon who bored for coal in murdering gulley in 1863.
Compared to other municipalities the development of Merewether was slow - the first gas streetlights appeared in 1911 and electricity wasn't introduced until November 1928.
Edward Merewether
The suburb of Merewether is named after Edward Christopher Merewether, who began his working life in Australia as aide-de-camp to three Governors of New South Wales between 1842 and 1861. He was appointed Superintendent of the Australian Agricultural Company (AACo) in Newcastle in 1861 and was a significant landowner and benefactor. The school's E.C. Merewether Award for Creative Endeavour and the shield, which adorns the school's front foyer, were inaugurated in honour of Merewether.

War on Libya: U.S. air strikes, cruise missile attacks begin
Commentary by Kosta Harlan |

Protest sign from March 19: U.S. hands off the Arab revolution! (Fight Back! News/Staff)
With missiles from French fighter jets and cruise missiles from U.S. naval forces stationed off the coast of Libya, the large scale foreign intervention aimed at overthrowing the Libyan government began on Saturday March 19 – exactly eight years after the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq began.
The air strikes come just 48 hours after the UN Security Council voted – with abstentions from China, Russia, Brazil, India, and Germany – to implement a "no fly zone" over Libya.
U.S. military leads the way in "Operation Odyssey Dawn"
The U.S. Department of Defense noted that "U.S. military forces are on the leading edge of the coalition operation, taking out Libya's integrated air and missile defense system". The military operation is called "Operation Odyssey Dawn".
The U.S. began its assault in Libya with 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles (at a cost of about $756,000 each) launched from U.S. submarines and frigates. Twenty-five naval frigates from the U.S., the United Kingdom, France and Canada are positioned off the coast of Libya, ready to launch further strikes on the country.
Meanwhile, French fighter jets were reported to have bombed a number of targets in Libya. Libyan state television is also reporting that Libya's air defenses shot down a French fighter jet, although this has not yet been confirmed.
Military officials have pointed out that the current assault is only the first phase of the intervention. It is not yet clear what the second phase will encompass, but Al Jazeera is reporting that the targets will include ground forces and tanks.
The air strikes and attacks on Libya took place despite the invitation from Libya's government to bring international observers into the country. Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy foreign minister, told the BBC, "the ceasefire is real, credible and solid. We are willing to receive observers as soon as possible".
President Obama spoke as the assault began, noting that U.S. forces were "responding to calls of a threatened people". However, Obama made no mention of the threatened peoples and ongoing massacres of protestors in U.S.-backed dictatorships in Yemen and Bahrain.
People of Libya resist foreign intervention
Since the beginning of the current crisis, the media has portrayed the conflict in Libya as a struggle between the overwhelming majority of Libya's people and a dictatorship lacking any credibility or popular support.
But whatever one's view of Colonel Gaddafi or the existing regime, if one looks past the pro-war propaganda, it is sufficiently clear that what is taking place in Libya more accurately resembles a civil war than a situation like Egypt or Tunisia. In those countries, overwhelming numbers of people demanded the fall of the regime, and the military and police forces of those governments were unable to suppress the revolt.
But in Libya it is clear that just as there are significant numbers of people opposed to the regime, there are also masses of people who support the existing government and are willing to fight for it.
Recall that just 72 hours ago, the rebel forces headquartered in Benghazi were nearly routed, and many talked about the collapse of the rebellion.
And on February 15, as the crisis was beginning to unfold, thousands of people rallied in cities across Libya in support of the government.
Al Jazeera is currently reporting that hundreds of people are camped out at Colonel Gaddafi's home at Bab al-Aziziyah, to protect it from possible air strikes, while thousands are reported to have attended rallies on March 19 in the capitol Tripoli against foreign intervention.
Rather than so-called "humanitarian intervention" in defense of the overwhelming majority of people, what is taking place is a military intervention on one side of a civil war.
Progressives must defend the right of the Libyan people to self-determination. It is not the place of western and historically colonial powers to intervene in the affairs of Libya. Whatever problems exist with Libyan society and government are best dealt with by the people of Libya, and not by imperialistic powers.
The real reason for intervention in Libya
Foreign intervention will not result in self-determination or independence for the Libyan people.
Those who today defend the necessity for "liberation by cruise missile" in Libya should think about what took place in Iraq over the last twenty years.
Like Libya, Iraq has massive oil reserves and occupies a strategic location in the region.
Like Libya's Gaddafi, Iraq's leader Saddam Hussein was depicted in racist terms by the corporate media and as a "mad man" intent on oppressing his own people; and that military intervention in Iraq was for "humanitarian" purposes.
In Iraq, the no fly zone resulted in thousands of air strikes that killed many civilians and patriotic Iraqis over several years. The no fly zone ultimately led to a declaration of war, invasion, and occupation that killed over 1,000,000 Iraqis, utterly devastated the country, and destroyed an independent, sovereign nation in the Middle East.
The U.S., U.K., French, and Canadian forces are not humanitarians. Their cruise missiles, naval frigates, bombs, bullets and troops will do nothing to improve the situation for the people of Libya or anywhere else in the region.
They are opportunistically seeking to seize control of Libya's vast oil reserves – the largest reserves in the African continent – and re-assert dominance in a region that is shaking from a powerful storm of revolutions against corrupt U.S.-backed dictatorships.
U.S. anti-war movement calls to end U.S. intervention in Libya
The same day that the air strikes began in Libya, tens of thousands were protesting in the United States to mark the 8th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. At many of these demonstrations, calls to end the U.S. aggression against Libya were being heard.
On April 9, thousands of people will converge again in New York City and San Francisco to protest the Iraq, Afghanistan wars, and now the assault in Libya. While progressive forces in the U.S. have held sharply differing views on the nature of the conflict in Libya, the entire progressive movement can and must unite on the basis of opposing further U.S. attacks on Libya and supporting the right of the Libyan people to determine their own destiny, free from foreign interference.

To James Madison from Thomas Jefferson, 26 December 1800
From Thomas Jefferson
Dec. 26. 1800.
All the votes are now come in except Vermont & Kentuckey, and there is no doubt that the result is a perfect parity between the two republican characters. The Feds appear determined to prevent an election, & to pass a bill giving the government to mr. Jay, appointed Chief justice, or to Marshall as Secy. of state. Yet I am rather of opinion that Maryland & Jersey will join the 7. republican majorities. The French treaty will be violently opposed by the Feds. The giving up the vessels is the article they cannot swallow.1 They have got their judiciary bill forwarded to commitment. I dread this above all the measures meditated, because appointments in the nature of freehold render it difficult to undo what is done. We expect a report for a territorial government2 which is to pay little respect to the rights of man. Your's of the 20th. came safely to hand. I am almost certain that you sent money by me to Lyon, which he sent to me for & recieved as soon as he heard I was arrived. As I was merely the bearer I did not take a receipt. I will enquire into it, and do what is necessary. No answer yet from R. R. L.3 Cordial & affectionate salutations. Adieu.

Applying for student exchange and traineeship abroad
GENERAL APPLICATION PERIODS
Calls for exchange applications are published at the beginning of the application period in the Calls for applications for student exchange section. The first calls for applications are for exchange studies in the following autumn semester, in the following academic year, or the spring semester of the following academic year. The second calls for applications are usually for exchange studies taking place in the spring semester of the following academic year. The application period usually ends at 15.00/3.00 p.m. (EET).
ANNUAL CALLS FOR APPLICATIONS
1 to 15 November
ISEP Exchange
Bilateral student exchange, first call for applications (destinations outside Europe)
north2north (not available for the academic year 2019–2020)
1 to 15 February
Erasmus+ (student exchange)
FIRST+
Nordlys network and Nordplus
Bilateral student exchange, second call for applications (destinations in Europe and Russia, places that are still available after the first call, and possible new destinations)
SECOND/THIRD CALLS FOR APPLICATIONS
1 to 31 May
The exchange programmes and host universities included in the second calls for applications will be confirmed by the end of April annually. A second call for applications (in the case of bilateral exchanges, a third call for applications) will be organised if there are still places and mobility grants available after the end of the first calls for applications (in the case of bilateral exchanges, the first and second calls for applications).
The second call for applications follows the same procedure as the first call for applications, i.e. the decisions on the exchange places are made at the end of the application period. In the second/third calls for applications held in May, one may only apply for the spring semester.
CONTINUOUS APPLICATIONS
Erasmus traineeship grants
You should start planning your studies abroad well in advance, preferably a year or so before you intend to start your exchange.
The application process for studies abroad always consists of two stages. First, UEF candidates for exchange will be selected in an internal call for applications. The number of candidates selected is equal to the placements at the host university or in the exchange programme. The students selected in the internal call for applications then apply for the actual exchange placement at the host universities. Application instructions for the host university and exchange programme are sent to the student by UEF or by the host university. The final decision on accepting the student is always made by the host university.
The application for exchange for the internal call for applications via the online application system SoleMOVE. The application periods are indicated above.
You can enter one or two host universities from the same exchange programme on the application form. Enter your first priority of host university first on the form. First-choice applications are given precedence if the number of applications exceeds the available places. Students who apply for more than one exchange programme (different application periods in SoleMOVE) must complete two applications but may use the same letter of motivation for both. You should specify which host university is your first and which your second priority, either in the letter of motivation or the additional information field of the application.
If the student is not selected as a candidate for the first-priority organisation, the second priority indicated in the application will be processed. In other words, a student can only be selected as a candidate for one host university for the same period of time.
Students who wish to apply for two host universities for different periods of time (such as one host university for the autumn semester and another for the spring semester) should state this in their letter of motivation and complete two separate applications in the system, as only one exchange period can be entered in an application. The student must make sure in advance that the semesters of the two host universities do not overlap.
The student should discuss the study plan for the exchange with their departmental coordinators of international matters in order to agree on the recognition of the studies and their suitability for the student's degree at UEF. The study plan is made on the Learning Agreement form in the second stage of application or as instructed by the home university.
APPLYING THROUGH THE ONLINE APPLICATION SYSTEM SOLEMOVE
SoleMOVE is the online application system for studies abroad at UEF.
System URL: https://saas.solenovo.fi/solemove/
This application is used to apply for exchange (the first stage = to be accepted as a UEF candidate for exchange) and for an internship grant under the Erasmus+ programme. Please make sure to select the correct application period for your application.
Instructions for the application (with screenshots): How to get started with SoleMOVE online application system (pdf) (updated on 29 January 2019)
After logging into the system, you can read more detailed instructions in Finnish (click on the question mark in the top bar).
Log into the SoleMOVE system with your UEF username and password through HAKA/Shibboleth and start the application.
NB! If you are a trainee at or employed by UEF, please contact UEF International Mobility Services before starting your application.
You will need a letter of motivation and transcript of records as attachments to your application. A confirmation of your internship and a transcript of records must be enclosed with an Erasmus+ internship grant application. You can order the transcript of records from WebOodi, i.e. you will not need an official stamped transcript for this first-stage application. Attach the documents to your application in PDF, RTF, or DOC format if possible.
Students can apply for 1–2 host universities during each application period. An ISEP application counts as 1 destination. The available host universities are listed on the form; open the list by clicking on the arrow.
You do not have to complete the application in one sitting; you can continue to update and modify it until it has been sent. The application cannot be sent until all required information and attachments have been included.
The system will notify the student by email when processing begins. The notification of rejection or acceptance will also be sent by email. After the student has received the acceptance notification, they must confirm or cancel the exchange in the system within one week of the notification.
Data protection (in Heimo, requires login)
A transcript of records and a description of the reasons for applying for student exchange (Letter of Motivation) must be enclosed with the student exchange application.
A Transcript of Records can be obtained from Student and Learning Services or WebOodi. An unofficial transcript ordered by email from WebOodi will be sufficient for the first application stage.
A Letter of Motivation is a free-form application in which the student presents their reasons for applying for exchange at the host university in question and provides brief descriptions of the purpose of the exchange studies, their previous education, and how the exchange affects their study and career plans. The letter of motivation is written in English or in the language of the host university/country. The student may discuss both the first and second priority in the same letter of motivation. The letter of motivation will be read by the departmental coordinator and International Mobility Services, and it will not be sent to the host university. Those applying for the ISEP Exchange programme should describe why they want to apply for the ISEP programme and to which country/countries they wish to apply for via ISEP.
A confirmation of the internship must be attached to an Erasmus+ internship grant application.
In questions related to applying and the online application system, please contact UEF International Mobility Services: international(a)uef.fi
Students who meet the following basic criteria can be selected as UEF candidates for exchange:
the student is enrolled as a degree student at UEF
the student has completed a minimum of one year's academic studies prior to the exchange period
the duration of the exchange is 3 months in minimum and no degree shall be awarded by the host university
the studies completed abroad will be included in the degree at UEF
the department/school of the applicant gives an approval for the exchange
the student will be a full-time student during the exchange
The following criteria may also be considered in the selection process:
progress of the studies (the number of completed credits in relation to the duration of studies or scope of the degree);
current phase of the studies;
language skills;
earlier studies abroad;
grades;
academic references; and
other relevant criteria supporting the selection.
Applicants can also be interviewed. In the selection process, the main emphasis is on the Letter of Motivation and possible interview.

FBI Director Details Challenges to Finding Cyber Security Staff Who Don't Smoke Pot
Modified April 2, 2021 by Dr. Helga George
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is facing off against an increasing threat, which requires agents with entirely different skill sets than those the bureau has traditionally sought. Cyber criminals operate in the relatively anonymous domain of the Internet, and can be virtually impossible to catch by anyone who is not extremely well versed in computers and technology.
In an effort to recruit more individuals with the requisite skills needed to go after cyber criminals, the Director of the FBI recently insinuated it may be necessary to lessen the bureau's tough policy against hiring candidates who use marijuana.
Currently, anyone who has used marijuana in the past several years is automatically disqualified from working for the FBI. FBI Director James B. Comey recently commented that the FBI has a zero-tolerance policy against hiring individuals who smoke marijuana, and that this prohibition may be preventing his organization from recruiting valuable cyber security assets.
In his address to the New York City Bar Association in Manhattan's annual White Collar Crime Institute conference, Comey remarked that some of those most competent to fight cyber criminals "want to smoke weed on the way to the interview." He also indicated that the agency is "grappling" with the question of how to update its marijuana policies to allow it to attract the best qualified candidates.
When speaking at a congressional hearing after his initial remarks, Comey was asked about them. The director insisted that, while the comments were meant to be taken half-jokingly, they were also half-serious. He reiterated the fact that agency needs to attract more competent cyber law enforcement professionals, and that agency's drug policies do represent an impediment to achieving that goal.
However, in the hearing, Comey also affirmed his anti-marijuana stance, a conflict which essentially served to exemplify the agency's conundrum.

THE HEROES WHO POWER OUR COUNTRY.

THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 8,000+ WORKSITE ACCIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES PER YEAR IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY ALONE, WITH APPROximately ONE in every forty-five accidents proving fatal.

The Four Core Pillars of AEH
Immediate Sensitive Response - In the aftermath of an accident, it is paramount that the immediate needs of the worker and the family be tended to (needs such as funerary arrangements and costs, grief counseling, assistance with childcare, and other such tasks). AEH strives to provide a flexible Immediate Sensitive Response to assist during the difficult days following an accident.
Safety Education & Accident Prevention - There's an old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The same certainly holds true for accident prevention as well, as the best way to address an accident is to prevent it from happening in the first place. AEH places a great emphasis on safety training and education by taking a more informal and personal approach. At AEH, the focus is on coming to you, at the worksite, in the normal environment to share safety tips in a fun and informal way, as opposed to a long formal seminar in a controlled setting far removed from the actual worksite. The attention and reponse to an on-site demonstration fosters greater retention of the material covered and leads to a safer workplace, which will, in turn, save lives.
Reeducation and Reintegration - At AEH, we recognize that it can be a difficult task to transition out of the energy sector and into a different field of work. If someone has been a rig hand since their early 20's and it's the only job they've known, their prospects may appear limited upon trying to reenter the workforce after an accident forces the end of their career in the oil fields or coal mines. AEH works tirelessly to establish connections and maintain a database to assist energy workers with transitioning out of the fields and into a new future to support themselves and their families. If you're an energy worker who has been injured on the job or you feel the physical demands of the job are becoming too much for you, contact AEH today for more information about our reeducation and reintegration programs: info@aeheroes.com
Research - Knowledge is key when it comes to identifying and solving problems. AEH will always strive to be as knowledgeable as possible when it comes to understanding the various challenges and issues facing modern energy workers. Research is an absolute necessity when it comes to identifying issues and creating solutions in the complex and ever-evolving energy exploration field. At AEH, we seek to uncover the finer points about energy field work and safety. Broad statistics are important, but we are more focused on ground-level aspects, such as finding out exactly which tools the workers feel the most uncomfortable with and why. Perhaps something as simple as changing the grip on a tool can solve the problem of it slipping. Sometimes the smallest details and margins can make the difference.

You've seen our gym bags, fridges and pantries. So for this round of Question of the Week, we're talking about what our weekly workout routine is like!
First off—"routine" is way too strong a word for what I have. Now, don't get me wrong—at times, I have a schedule. In fact, this time last year, I was on a super strict schedule as I trained for my first Olympic distance triathlon, and before my recent half marathon (from hell), I was following a pretty regular running schedule.
But right now? It's a mix of tri training, running and doing what feels good. So, while Jenn and Tish mentioned that their routines showed what they usually do, I'm going to have to give you an awful lot of "and/ors" in order to give you a good feel for my week. And you should keep in mind that, although I try to get in a great workout most days, when life happens and I don't have a chance to get sweaty, well, I get a bonus rest day.
Oh, and one other thing—in an attempt to clarify what kind of workouts I tend to follow when doing certain types of training, I'm using a code. T = Triathlon, R = Running a long-distance race and O = Other. Which, of course, doesn't mean I only do those things when training for those specific events but offers a guideline. Cool? Cool.
I find that, if I have too much flexibility—i.e. no plan of attack whatsoever—I'm more likely to skip working out entirely. But having a loose plan of action and giving myself choices, like you see above, actually helps me feel empowered. I can do whatever I feel my body needs each day and feel great about it. That being said, I have full appreciation for a strict schedule when I'm trying to meet a goal or prepare for a big race; I just can't continue with one indefinitely.
I have specific workouts I do every day, but sometimes like what happened on thursday when my friend cancelled boxing on me, I had to improvise so I just did a workout dvd that burns equivalent calories.

Most Innovative of CES 2023 Awards
The Tech That Turned Heads
Dayna Eileen | January 16, 2023
CES is the convention that everyone keeps an eye on to see the latest and greatest that the tech industry has to offer. Many companies take this opportunity to unveil their newest product launches, and some use it to gain funding for new ideas, but part of what we love is seeing what changes are coming to various areas in the industry to really push things forward in new and exciting ways. Many companies aim to be the Best of CES, but there is another award that is just as coveted: Most Innovated of CES.
Innovation is the key to new technological advances, but it's also the key to improving things that are already here. So what does it take to earn CGMs Most Innovative of CES 2023? Surprise us. This could mean giving us something we didn't know we needed, changing our minds about something we didn't want, or bringing quality of life to new or existing devices to simply make things better.
To us, innovation doesn't have to be something we have never seen before. It needs to be something we have never seen done this well before. Solve a problem we didn't know we had. Make something that makes us say, "Why didn't we think of that before?" Our Most Innovative of CES 2023 award winners are those we couldn't stop talking about and those we hope to become mainstream ideas going forward.
Here are CGMs Most Innovative of CES 2023 winners, in no particular order:
The Frame TV
Samsung has long been a staple in home electronics. From mobile phones to projectors to screens, chances are high that several people you know are loyal to the brand. With The Frame, Samsung aims to take the futuristic look out of our televisions, allowing them to stand out as art pieces when not being used for streaming, gaming or the like.
At Samsung's First Look at CES 2023, the show floor was filled with screens at every turn. It was a stunning sight, but one we would come to see with other popular brands throughout the event. That was until we saw The Frame.
Between the two of us, we debated from afar whether or not it was an actual screen we were looking at or a frame designed to go around one, currently displaying a piece of art. It was, in fact, a screen (trust me, I poked it!), but its matte finish made the painting on-screen look like an original piece of art, not even a print.
The ability to hide electronics has been around for ages, between cabinets, covers, and even hiding them in countertops. Hiding a TV in plain sight the way The Frame does—flawlessly and stunning—is a fresh and innovative idea, earning it our Most Innovative of CES 2023 award.
StoryPhones
Children's headphones are something I cherish dearly. Between listening to the constant chaos of two children with tablets, and long drives to visit inlaws, they aren't a luxury, they are a requirement. Usually, they are connected to a tablet, smartphone or handheld gaming device to save us from the constant "Are we there yet?" line of questioning.
However, many parents don't want their kids on screens at all, never mind for long periods of time. But in a world where almost everything involves a screen—even LEGO sometimes—it's hard to get away from, especially when you're desperate. That is why I was so impressed when I came across StoryPhones at CES 2023, made by ONANOFF.
My children use BuddyPhones already, a pair of volume-controlled, Bluetooth headphones made by the same company, and we love them. StoryPhones are a little different. They are still a quality pair of headphones, but they also use something called Shields to keep your child entertained without the screens.
StoryShields will read your children a story, and they are priced about the same as a book. PlayShields allows you to record your own voice to read or sing or talk to your child—perfect for Grandma to read them a story. There are also ZenShields, which play soothing sounds, much like a noise machine, to help calm and relax your child.
As a parent, coming across StoryPhones at CES 2023, I was really impressed and immediately knew I would want to award them Most Innovative of CES 2023. Trying to help children come away from screens and bring them back to stories and their imagination while the rest of the world is charging toward them is exactly what we need. I can see StoryPhones leading to better sleep, calmer kids, and relaxing car rides.
Samsung Bespoke Home
Home appliances have always been a stand out in our kitchens and laundry rooms. Usually, these rooms will be expertly designed, only to have a giant hunk of metal in the middle of the room. Samsung has come a long way with its Bespoke line, allowing for designer-quality appliances across the home.
Not only can you choose which style of appliance you'd like, like three-door, four-door or one-door columns, but you can choose the colour panels that cover each door, either all the same or different colours for each panel. This adds personality and even organization to our appliances and rooms. These panels can also be completely customized, with Disney designs shown off at Samsung's First Look at CES 2023.
Not only is Samsung turning these appliances into thoughtful designs—and definitely conversation pieces—but they don't ask you to sacrifice functionality in order to make them look good. You can include smart panels that give your appliance touchscreen functions like calendars, check recipes, or even look inside your fridge from wherever you are.
Samsung's Bespoke line covers refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and more, and even uses AI power behind them. Allowing users to truly express themselves through design and still allowing for premium features like their Family Hub technology makes for useful, beautiful rooms for any home, gaining it our Most Innovative of CES 2023.
Razer Edge (2023)
Today, gamers can enjoy console-quality controls on the go with a variety of solutions, from the Backbone One controller for phones to dedicated Android handhelds like the Logitech G Cloud. However, each of these offers some compromises that may impact gameplay – such as quickly draining phone battery or lack of 5G for playing in real-world environments. Razer has unveiled the Razer Edge, a gaming handheld that they tout as "the ultimate gaming handheld," retailing at $399. With this futuristic device, Razer seeks to revolutionize the gaming experience. It promises to be the ultimate portable gaming solution.
At CES 2023, Razer's new device is proving to be the most promising take on mobile gaming consoles that have been seen yet. While it may not meet everyone's needs or budget, it certainly appears to be the best option for those looking for a dedicated mobile gaming experience.
The Razer Edge brings the best of handheld gaming to the palm of your hand. Boasting a 6.8-inch tablet with an impressive AMOLED display and a detachable Razer Kishi V2 Pro controller, this compact device offers a truly Nintendo Switch-like experience for Android and cloud-based games. From the little time I've spent with it, the Kishi V2 Pro's controls and the overall package impressed me with how comfortable and fluid the full experience was.
As with any piece of mobile tech, it will not be for everyone, but Razer has done enough right to show the potential and push the concept forward in a lot of smart ways. With the Steam Deck and many others hitting the market targeting the gamer looking to be released from the chain of the desk, it is advancements made here by Razer that will help usher in new ways to play, and that is a good thing for everyone.

Every year during CES, there is something that has everyone talking. Be it from the concept or just how it is executed, these are the devices that sit with journalists and the public long after the show closes its doors. This year, it was hard to go to any part of CES without people talking about LG's new wireless TV, the Signature OLED M3.
What once may have been science fiction is getting closer to reality, with the TV able to connect to external devices, all without the need of wires cluttering up the look or concept the TV evokes in your space.
The Zero Connect box, which allows the Wireless OLED to function, offers three HDMI ports equipped with 4K and 120Hz capabilities and USB and antenna inputs. This means that users can easily connect their usual devices, such as cable boxes, game consoles, or 4K Blu-ray players, to view content on the OLED display.
While still very much an aspirational product, the LG Signature OLED M3 is something that sparks the imagination and dominates the discussion. Even if it is not the TV you end up owning in the next five years, it will be something people talk about for years to come, especially with the vibrant picture, incredibly thin design, and an all-around stunning-looking vision of what an OLED TV could be moving forward.
Predator Helios 300 Spatiallabs Edition Laptop
Watching movies in 3D has always been a gimmick in my eyes. Throwing on the glasses in the theatre was more of an inconvenience than anything, but we did it because it was new and fun. Acer has teamed up with Spatiallabs to take the glasses out of 3D, bringing a gaming experience that I didn't think was possible, especially on a laptop.
The Predator Helios 300 Spatiallabs Edition was on the show floor in the Microsoft booth at CES 2023. The laptop itself stopped me since a good gaming rig always catches my eye. But what Spatiallabs brings to the table is game-changing. With a few buttons pressed, the game in front of me became entirely 3D. Not the arrows shooting at you kind of 3D, but the kind that adds depth to a game.
For the first time, I wanted 3D. It didn't feel like a gimmick, it felt like the next step in gaming, and I am here for it. The Predator Helios 300 Spatiallabs Edition uses eye-tracking, drivers and shaders and AI-accelerated conversion to bring real-time conversions from 2D to 3D while playing a game live.
While playing, the game felt flawless. There were no glitches, and running around in the forest felt as smooth as playing in 2D. What's better is that you can toggle this on and off as you choose, giving the best of both worlds. This could change the game and definitely wins Most Innovative of CES 2023.
K2S Projector
CES always brings its fair share of projects to the show floor. With people always looking for new ways to enjoy media, a projector gives that new level of freedom without needing to build a room around the activity of TV watching. While there are plenty of options in the market, few hit the price point and offer the wide range of features that make the K2s Projector from Yaber so exciting and something that could make projectors far more exciting for the average buyer.
Equipped with NFC technology and Amazon Alexa voice control, you can easily project video from your phone and adjust volume and settings to your desired level. The K2s also features Intelligent Screen Adaptation technology that takes care of focusing and screen adjustment for perfectly clear images every time. There are plenty of inexpensive projectors, but few bring smart features and provide an exceptional picture to make them worth most people's time.
The K2s is also incredibly bright, boasting 800 ANSI Lumens of brightness – perfect for watching movies or gaming, even in rooms with background lighting. With a built-in independent sound chamber and JBL speakers with DOLBY compatibility, you'll get crisp and clear audio without the need for extra speakers. Plus, an integrated dongle gives you access to a range of apps making the K2 an incredibly versatile projector made to fit a range of uses and needs. With a sub-$600 price tag, Yaber is showing what is possible without breaking the bank or the need for quality.
Rolling Square's Edge Pro
Rolling Square is a brand that caught my eye going into CES 2023 for its inCharge "swiss army knife" of chargers. I thought that it would make at least one of my CES lists this year until I saw their Edge Pro. The company built on their original Edge design, a metal magnet that can attach to the back of your laptop, and from there, attach your phone, their Edge Light, Edge Wireless Charger, or whatever other metallic devices you may need.
The Edge Pro, however, can go so much further than that. The magnets are larger and more adjustable. They are also strong enough to hold a tablet to give you a second screen. From here, you can still attach their charger or right light, but there will be more flexibility in terms of location, angles and magnet strength.
Because of the angles the Edge Pro allows, you aren't limited to just using the device on your laptop. Other uses they demonstrated are phone or tablet stands and connecting to your phone to use the Edge Light for photography. The magnets are MagSafe compatible, so they are available for use with the latest iPhones, and there are magnets included for other devices.
The Edge Pro is extremely thin and incredibly strong, which makes it perfect for on-the-go use. After being backed on sites like IndieGoGo for almost $1 million, it is clear that Rolling Square's Edge Pro is going to be popular. Its simplicity, quality and variety of uses earn the Edge Pro our Most Innovative of CES 2023 award.
Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus Earbuds
CES is about more than flashy lights and amazing cars, with brands using the time to show off some products that can vastly improve people's lives in a variety of ways. Sennheiser did just that with their new Conversation Clear Plus earbuds, giving an easy way for people that are finding it harder to hear while out to never miss part of the conversation.
It may sound like a minor thing, but when you go to a restaurant or attend a show like CES, the background noise and constant bustle can make it nearly impossible to enjoy time with friends or family. Missing half a conversation can be a frustrating experience and can be embarrassing, especially when you go out to enjoy the time away from work and the stresses of everyday life.
This is why the Conversation Clear Plus earbuds are such a memorable device from CES 2023. These headphones give a hassle-free way for people to communicate and give those who may not be ready for earring aids a way never to feel left out of the conversation. Not cheap, they provide something so important in today's technological world, a way to keep that vital human connection going strong.
Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist
The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist was one of the most unusual laptops at CES 2023. The most recent ThinkBook Plus model combines cutting-edge OLED technology with an eye-catching twist hinge that is reminiscent of the original 2-in-1 laptop hybrids. This laptop will stand out from the crowd because of its combination of brilliant OLED and colour E Ink.
On one side of the screen, you will find an impressive 13.3-inch OLED display with a 2.8K native resolution, touch input and stylus pen support, 400-nit brightness, 100% DCI-P3 colour-gamut coverage and Dolby Vision HDR support. While good in its own right, things get more interesting when you flip the screen, where you will find a 12-inch colour E Ink display, making this device ideal for typing documents without straining your eyes or jotting down notes with the included pen.
I have long been a lover of E Ink for typing, reading or anything to do with text. It may be horrible for anything to do with graphics, thanks to its refresh rate, but the ease of reading makes it ideal for text-based work.
It is this sort of innovation that helps move computing forward. Each of these display technologies may have disadvantages, but the combination makes the ThinkBook Plus Twist an ideal choice for a professional or anyone looking to get the most out of their portable device. Launching this June, the ThinkBook Plus Twist will hit with a starting price of $1,649. The innovative device is sure to appeal to tech-savvy consumers looking for an advanced laptop-tablet hybrid.

Undertaken in the wake of recent high profile cyber attacks, the survey of the UK's biggest 350 companies found more than two thirds of boards had not received training to deal with a cyber incident (68 per cent) despite more than half saying cyber threats were a top risk to their business (54 per cent).
One in ten FTSE 350 companies said they operate without a response plan for a cyber incident (ten per cent) and less than a third of boards receive comprehensive cyber risk information (31 per cent).
Minister for Digital Matt Hancock said, "We have world leading businesses and a thriving charity sector but recent cyber attacks have shown the devastating effects of not getting our approach to cyber security right.
These new reports show we have a long way to go until all our organisations are adopting best practice and I urge all senior executives to work with the National Cyber Security Centre and take up the Government's advice and training.
There has been progress in some areas when compared with last year's health check, with more than half of company boards now setting out their approach to cyber risks (53 per cent up from 33 per cent) and more than half of businesses having a clear understanding of the impact of a cyber attack (57 per cent up from 49 per cent).
The Government is fully committed to defending against cyber threats and a five-year National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) was announced in November 2016, supported by £1.9 billion of transformational investment. This includes opening the National Cyber Security Centre and offering free online advice as well as training schemes to help businesses protect themselves.
The 10 Steps to Cyber Security guide sets out a comprehensive framework to help company boards manage cyber risks, from getting the basics right through to protecting their most critical assets, and the Cyber Essentials scheme sets out the technical basics all companies should have in place.
Earlier this week, Government also announced proposals on how to help the nation's essential industries be more resilient to cyber threats through the NIS Directive.
Alex Dewdney, NCSC Director for Engagement, said, "The NCSC is committed to making the UK the safest place in the world to live and do business online.
We know that we can't do this alone – everyone has a part to play. That's why we're committed to providing organisations with expert advice through our website and direct engagement.
Separate new research looking at the cyber security of charities has also been published today.
It found charities are just as susceptible to cyber attacks as businesses, with many staff not well informed about the topic and awareness and knowledge varying considerably across different charities. Other findings show those in charge of cyber security, especially in smaller charities, are often not proactively seeking information and relying on outsourced IT providers to deal with threats.
Where charities recognised the importance of cyber security, this was often due to holding personal data on donors or service users, or having trustees and staff with private sector experience of the issue. Charities also recognised those responsible for cyber security need new skills and general awareness among staff needs to raise.
Helen Stephenson CBE, Chief Executive at the Charity Commission for England and Wales, said, "Charities have lots of competing priorities but the potential damage of a cyber-attack is too serious to ignore. It can result in the loss of funds or sensitive data, affect a charity's ability to help those in need, and damage its precious reputation. Charities need to do more to educate their staff about this threat and ensure they dedicate enough time and resources to improving cyber security.
The FTSE 350 Cyber Governance Health Check is the Government's annual report providing insight into how the UK's biggest 350 companies deal with cyber security.
The Government will soon be introducing its new Data Protection Bill to Parliament. With this coming into effect next May, implementing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the report for the first time included questions about data protection.
The new data protection law will strengthen the rights of individuals and provide them with more control over how their personal data is being used.
The Information Commissioner's Office has produced guidance for organisations on implementing the regulation, including a checklist for businesses on the actions they need to take; and a series of interactive workshops and webinars.
The ICO will also produce guidance for organisations about the responsibilities under the GDPR and individuals on their rights under the GDPR. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport will continue to work closely with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) during this transitional period.


Just when life is finally uncomplicated, Lockie falls for Vicki Streeton all over again...and it's driving him to distraction. John East suggests Lockie create a Board Riders Association to take his mind off girls. Unfortunately, Boof not only joins the group but sets his sights on the presidency as well. Lockie isn't thrilled but at least he knows where he stands with Boof. No complications there. Unlike Vicki. One minute, he breaks her toe, forcing her out of the lead role in the upcoming ballet. And the next? She's helping him. Will Lockie ever understand girls! Maybe it's time for Lockie to take a leaf out of Sarge's book and learn to understand the ultimate language of romance: poetry.

YMMV but I was making an order on the Potbelly website, left it sitting in my cart for a while, came back reloaded the page and an additional coupon appeared that said wait come back $2 off your next order and it stacked with the BOGO.
Guess it was just a coincidence. Checked my email and there's one from Potbelly that says come back we miss you... $2 off.

Thanks, good time to try them.
Thx we did Sonny's 2 there and 2 to go, nice deal!
Thanks for the heads up! There was no push notification from the app. I guess maybe because it updated and had signed me out of my account?
So, does ne1 get any return to spend?

Q: How do you get a conditional statement to branch? I am working on a question for my Computer Programming class in high school and the question is as follows.
Using a conditional statement, generate a program in any coding language and explain the working of it: "If the temperature of your room is more than 80° or less than or equal to 60°, then the program should branch; otherwise, the execution should continue without branching."
I have managed to create a conditional statement on my own, but I do not understand the branching part. I have Googled already and have found nothing useful. Can someone explain what I am supposed to do?
**Also, I chose JavaScript for my coding language.
function temperature(z) {
  if(z > 80 || z <= 60) {
  /*branch program?*/;
  }
  else {
  /*do not branch program?*/;
  }
  }
  console.log(temperature(81)); /*evaluates to branching*/

That is all I have so far. Also, is there a simpler way to write that code? I would love some opinions!

A: The if statement itself is a branching instruction to your CPU where in assembly language CPU would've taken that instruction as a possibility to skip set of instructions inside the if statement and continue after it (branching) or execute that piece of code within the normal flow.
I believe that the statement you wrote is already a perfect example of the question, you should just be able to change some variable inside that if where that exact variable would've taken different value if the program were to take different execution path (aka branch).

Edit:
You could end up with code looking something like this:
function getTemperatureFeel(t) {
  var feel = "Perfect"; // this is straight execution
  if (t > 80 || t <= 60) {
    feel = "Either warm or cold"; // this is branch execution
  }

  return feel;
}

console.log(getTemperatureFeel(81));
