With each passing year, more Wisconsin families choose cremation over a conventional casketed cemetery burial when it comes to end-of-life choices for our loved ones. Since 2011 the number of cremations have outnumbered burials in Wisconsin. What is the impact on our environment? Are we moving in the right direction?
Before getting into the details of cremations and burials, let's take note that end-of-life choices are exactly that: choices. What we choose for ourselves or for our loved ones is a private matter. Like all choices in our lives, we like to make choices that are consistent with our values. Our values are formed over a lifetime of experience and do not change quickly or easily. Our choices, however, can change quickly—especially upon learning new information. When I listen to people describe their end-of-life plans, I ask questions to better understand their values and offer information that might help individuals make choices in good alignment with their values.
You're likely reading this blog because preserving natural habitats and sustainable living are held highly in your own core values. It may alarm you to learn that the act of disposing your earthly human remains could have a larger impact on the planet after your death than all of the activities of a Tibetan's entire living life! What's even worse is that these harmful activities bring no enjoyment or betterment to our lives or those who will survive us. The environmentally wasteful activities in death care are entirely avoidable. The good news is that we need not petition our legislature to change laws. Nor do we have to wait for large corporations to offer alternatives. Change can happen right now—starting with you and me. We have the power to make an immediate impact by simply informing ourselves and others of our end-of-life choices and how our choices will impact the environment.
There are three talking points for cremation regarding the environment: carbon footprint, toxic pollution, and land use. One public perception is that occupying a cemetery plot wastes valuable land resources that could otherwise be put to better uses. The reality is that the land used to extract, refine, store, and transport the few pounds of fossil fuel required for a single cremation is significantly larger than the area of a cemetery plot. Furthermore, the type of land where we extract fossil fuels (natural gas) take us to wildlife habits in precious areas of our world including Alaska, Canada, and the oceans. And then there is high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for natural gas. Fracking requires sand which is being mined here in Wisconsin. Now imagine that cemetery plot—it is minimal in comparison.
On the topic of toxicity, the EPA attributes cremation as the third largest polluter of our waterways with mercury. Add to this the cocktail of emissions including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, mercury, hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), NMVOCs, and other heavy metals, in addition to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP). For a body that contains metal implants or dental fillings, the impact of incineration releases even more harmful dioxins and mercury. The United Nations has estimated that 0.2% of the global emission of dioxins and furans are from cremation. While embalming is not required for direct cremation, circumstances that include a viewing or service prior to cremation often include embalming. The toxic gases released by cremating an embalmed body are cause for further controversy over the health and environmental impacts of cremation.
Incineration of fossil fuel during a three-hour cremation generates 600 lbs of CO2e. The carbon footprint of a steel casket is 2000 lbs of CO2e (carbon-dioxide equivalents). However, a simple wooden locally-made natural burial casket has a footprint less than 50 lbs of CO2e. A natural burial shroud has an even smaller footprint. Planting 100 seedling trees can sequester 200 lbs of CO2 in the first year. If carbon footprint is important to you, and you prefer cremation over a natural burial, consider planting 100 trees that will offset the carbon footprint of your cremation in 3-4 years time. Don't wait, plant them now.

Perhaps one of the best ways you can both get value on your draws, confuse your opponents, and take down a fair share of pots uncontested is to bet out on your straight and flush draws on the flop. Of course, you should follow some guidelines and mix up your play to avoid giving tells to your opponents, but I have found this, if done properly, to be an excellent weapon at the table – especially no-limit ring games.
First of all, let's outline what you're trying to accomplish: getting proper value when your draws hit, winning the pot right away, or gaining a free card on the turn. How do you go about accomplishing these lofty goals? First, you should stick to a set of guidelines before you go semi-bluff betting your draws.
Most important in this situation is position. You want to act after your opponents, which gives you the most power and control in the hand. You can get into trouble if you get raised by a powerhouse hand behind you, so I wouldn't recommend betting your draws very often with more than one player to act after you.
You can do this successfully with any number of opponents in the hand, but realize that you probably won't win the pot on the flop against several players since one of them is likely to have a decent holding. This move is also most effective when used after your opponents check, but you might try a semi-bluff raise occasionally. They key to semi-bluffing is giving yourself the right odds to hit your draw. More on that later…
To begin with limit ring games, you won't be able to control the odds as much as no-limit ring games since you are, by definition, limited in what you can bet. However, let's say that you just called the big blind from the button with: Ah-9h. The flop comes out 5h-Jh-2s and there are 3 other limpers in the pot. If you get checked to, try betting. If there is a minimum bet out already, raise it. Hopefully you don't get reraised. If you do, you'll have to make the call anyway because of the pot odds. You have position and the nut flush draw. If you hit another heart on the turn, bet/raise it again. If you don't, hopefully you get checked to out of fear and you can check on behind them and see the river for free. Simple!
However, where you can really make big bucks with this move is in no-limit ring games. Let's say that you called a minimum raise of $4 from the button in a $1/2 NL ring game with Jd-10d. There are 2 others that stay in to see a flop of Qd-10h-4d and a $12 pot. This is a great spot to semi-bluff with your middle pair and flush draw. Let's say that they check to you. Since your odds are about 2:1 to make your flush by the river, bet out $6 and build a pot while still giving yourself the right odds to draw. If they both call you, great! You'll be getting even better pot odds. Again, you can continue your bet on the turn if you hit your flush (or sometimes even if you don't to mix things up) or check to see the river for free. Sometimes you can even check on the turn when you do hit your draw to look completely timid and beg to be bet into on the river.
The real beauty in this move is that you'll be completely throwing off your opponents. While they may still suspect that you're on a draw, most players simply don't put betting players on straight or flush draws. If they see two suited or connected cards on the board and a player betting aggressively, they'll assume that you are protecting against the draw. If the draw is completed, they will often bluff with a big bet since they assume that you don't have it. Of course, you're sitting back with your straight or flush ready to call/raise as much as possible. Also, you should note that open-ended straight draws (which can be completed with either of 2 cards) lay you about the same odds of hitting as a flush: 2:1 by the river.
While there are many more variations of draws and semi-bluffs that are best suited for their own articles, this should give you a solid foundation of betting with your straight and flush draws. Used effectively, you can often win extremely large pots from opponents bluffing you when the draw is completed or just value betting what they believe is the best hand. Often, you'll win the pot uncontested on the flop with your semi-bluff bet.

A former Wall Street hedge fund trader's transformative turnabout from greed to philanthropy.
Raised in Southern California by a doting mother and a crass, dismissive father, Polk grew up dreaming of the day when the need for money wouldn't dictate his every choice. In his engrossing debut memoir, the author retraces his beginnings as an overweight youth mercilessly bullied at summer camp and protective of his twin brother, Ben. Polk reinvented himself in high school, and his competitive nature matured as he became voraciously determined to outshine Ben in grades, sports, and dates. Acceptance at Columbia University further fed his overachievement fixation, though things almost derailed after bouts of bulimia, a suspension for theft, and problems involving drugs and alcohol. The memoir picks up narrative tension once Polk shifts his attention to his early 20s, during which his motivation and greed began to surmount his better judgment. A summer internship on a frantic stock market trading floor fueled a drive to succeed in business. Once he was hired on Wall Street, the salary and exorbitant bonuses became intoxicants to Polk, who became addicted to money with an eagerness to adopt the "easy confidence of millionaires." The author writes with sincerity and passion, traversing over the increasing trouble his greed immersed him in, though it's clear his behavior is derived more from a self-sabotaging, deep-seated psychological need to accumulate wealth, validation, and for "someone to tell me I was worth being taken care of." Though Polk impressively aced the Wall Street learning curve and became a high-ranking senior trader, his introspection brought his insatiable avarice, maltreatment of women, and general misery into stark focus. This epiphany, somewhat rare for a self-made millionaire, inspired him to break away and embark on more personally enriching and rewarding humanitarian ventures like the food, education, and empowerment-building program he founded for families in low-income communities.
A heartfelt and cautionary success story incorporating both the deceptive promises of wealth and the life-changing power of self-awareness.

Bringing house a new puppy can be a bundle of exciting. Puppy socialization is definitely the most significant thing you must concentrate on before your puppy reaches the age of 12 weeks. This puppy socialization period is recognized as the 'window of opportunity' for the reason that it's the time period when puppies find out finest how to cope with all the unknown. Therefore, the much more people, puppies, objects, noises and environments the puppy is often exposed to for the duration of this period, the superior. Puppy socialization to these new experiences helps the puppy to be a lot more confident as an older dog when subjected to unfamiliar events.
Many puppy socialization can take place inside the home atmosphere – exposure to loud banging noises, for instance clanging pots and pans, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, lawn mowers, etc.
Ask any visitor that comes to stop by to deal with the puppy all over; touching the paws and feeling in amongst the toes; playing with the ears; providing restrained hugs; playing with all the mouth and opening the mouth placing your finger around the puppy's tongue. If at all feasible expose your puppy to youngsters and teach them tips on how to manage the puppy effectively. Always ensure when young children and puppies are playing collectively that they are supervised. You don't want the young children to play as well roughly with the puppy and also you never want the puppy receiving so hyped up by antics of young children and becomes out of manage.
Puppy socialization also can include making funny faces and stupid noises at puppies; exposing them to skateboards, bikes, wheelie bins and also other moving objects. Noises of airplanes, loud machinery, youngsters screaming, babies crying, radios blaring are commonly daily occurrences that your puppy may perhaps expertise in later life. CD's are obtainable with all sorts of noises, such as thunder which is anything that may be not always offered for the puppy to get utilized to.
Puppy preschool or kindergarten is actually a wonderful avenue for socialization with other puppies of a equivalent age. Nonetheless, the conflict arises in the question of puppy vaccinations "is it secure to take a puppy out in the course of this time?" This is a dilemma simply because on the 1 hand you wish to train your puppy to become sociable but retain the puppy safe at the identical time.
Some opinions and advice are going to be to not allow the puppy outside from the home atmosphere till he/she is fully vaccinated. The threat of possessing a dog that may be fearful and not nicely socialized to men and women along with other dogs can be a extremely genuine possibility for those who stick to this advice. In the end, as the owner from the new puppy, you should weigh up the benefits and drawbacks of each sides and make that decision for your self. I've seen the outcome from each sides, possessing had a dog who … Read More

"Henry VIII's Great Seal" is the 14th episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Each team had to swim on a raft to the other side and then his partner pulls the raft back and swims on the raft to the other side.

Steps of Knowledge
The most feared and powerful King of England was Henry VIII. When he was young, he was very tall, handsome and athletic, and his court was very luxurious. Food was served on gold plates. He seemed to have everything, but Henry wasn't happy. He wanted a son to be the heir to the English throne. He had two wives who had given him baby girls, but Henry wanted boys. Finally, his third wife gave him a boy, but Henry wanted more, so he married three more times. He grew bitter and unhappy because he was worried that his one son would not be strong enough to run his kingdom. The unhappier he was, the fatter he got. He grew so fat that he had to be buried in a coffin the size of a small piano. The Great Seal of the realm was to be buried with him, but legend has it that his sixth wife kept it instead.

Temple Games
Crown 6 Wives (Bungee Soap Mat)
The first game was a race for Nick and Andi to work against a tight bungee cord and slippery floor in order to crown Henry VIII's six wives, represented by three mannequin heads on each of two pedestals on one side of the playing field. For both players, the issue was getting the crowns to stick, so they ended up placing more crowns than were ultimately counted. Probably the funniest part, though, was when Kirk went over to high-five Nick at the end of the game; Nick slipped and Kirk went down with him. Although, as Kirk put it, the queens "weren't wearing their heads very well," both players did manage to crown four of the mannequin heads, resulting in a tie score at a half-Pendant apiece.
Older and Sadder, Fatter and Fatter (Bamboo Forest)
The second game was one of the most interesting in the show's history, so it was a shame that it was only used twice. Shay and Jordan were wearing puffed-up jackets, made to resemble fatsuits— the game itself was like a reenactment of a possible trek through the forest by an older Henry VIII on a hunting trip. Both players moved very quickly, but in particular, Jordan excelled in the game with a "start looking ahead" strategy, making it out with 44 seconds to go.
Cloth of Gold (Bungee Soap Line)
The third game referenced a famous medieval jousting tournament, which took place at the Field of Cloth of Gold. However, instead of actually jousting, the players on each team had to transfer pieces of gold cloth (Seems like a bit of a disappointment, but what can you do?). The Blue Barracudas fell behind with this game because they had trouble transferring the cloth from helmet to helmet— thinking they'd successfully completed the transfer, they would separate only to realize they had to slide back towards the middle. The Silver Snakes ultimately won, four cloths to three, and this meant that they came back to win the Temple Games, 1½-1.

Temple Run
This Temple Run wasn't the best, but it was known for an odd finish, and it emphasized just how scary the Temple Guards can be for the contestants. Shay chose the Cave of Sighs as her starting point and screamed when she immediately ran into a Temple Guard. She finally handed over her Pendant of Life, passed across the bottom floor until the Room of the Harmonic Convergence and climbed up into the Heart Room. The second Temple Guard was waiting there, and when he emerged from the back door with 2:12 on the clock, Shay was started so badly that she retreated back down the ladder.
Nick raced in and retraced Shay's footsteps up to the Heart Room, and with 1:40 remaining, he advanced into the Treasure Room. Unfortunately, he couldn't head directly down from there, and had to put the monkey together. He did a solid job with the objective after realizing what it was (at first, he tried looking for an open door that would take him downward), and headed into the Pirate's Cove, where the iron slab was already up (the producers had forgotten to reset it since a player had to progress up from the Dungeon in the episode immediately before, "The Moccasins of Geronimo"). Nick headed down into the Dungeon and then through the rock wall into the Tomb of the Ancient Kings. With 45 seconds to go, the last Temple Guard appeared from the middle golden door in the back of the room.Now, the last guard actually scared Nick so badly that he jumped over the fallen columns in the outcropping of the Tomb and clear out of the Temple! The move would have been considered illegal and would have automatically disqualified the team, but it didn't matter, since Nick only had a half-Pendant anyway and the other half was in the Dungeon (Nick either failed to notice it or didn't expect the third guard in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings).

Hindu Dharma: index.html
The chapters that exist in "index.html" are listed in this page.
To go to another part in "Hindu Dharma", please either go back or see the bottom of this page.
|Jatis - Why so many Differences ?
There are four varnas - Brahmin, Ksatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras. We identify 'varnas' with 'jatis'. In point of fact, varna and jati are not the same. The varnas are only the four mentioned above, that is Brahmins, Ksatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras. Within each there are many jatis. Among Brahmins there are Ayyars, Ayyangars, Raos, and so on. In the fourth varna there are ...
|Character and Vocation by Birth
It is jatidharma that goes to make the inner guna (inner quality or nature) of an individual. So Sri Krsna's dictum in the Gita that the caturvana division is in accord with the gunas and the idea that the caste is based on birth are one and the same. There is no conflict between the two. You cannot find fault with Sri Krsna for his practice being at variance with his precept. Parasurama and Dronacarya were ...
|Vocations according to Guna not in Practice
Critics of varna dharma will perhaps argue thus: 'Let the pronouncements of the Vedas and of Krsna be whatever on the subject of jati dharma. We do not accept them because they represent a partisan view. We must devise a system in which vocations are determined according to one's guna or quality and mental proclivity and not according to birth. Caste systems must be done away with. ' What is the ...
|A Wrong Notion
A wrong notion has gained currency that in the varnasrama system the Brahmins enjoys more comfort than the others, that he more income, that he has to exert himself less than the others. In the order created by our sastras the Brahmin has to make as much physical effort as much ...
|Equal Opportunities
As we have already seen, we cannot sustain the claim that vocations are determined today according to the qualities of individuals and their inclinations or aptitudes. Also untenable is the demand for equal opportunities for all. To take an example:there are a certain number of seats in medical and engineering colleges. For highly specialised and new subjects like nuclear science the seats are very few. When the candidates possessing the same ...
|Strength of Unity
When there are so many jatis and each lives separately from the rest, how can the community remain united as a whole? But the fact is unity did exist in the past. Indeed it is now that our society is divided because of ill-will among the various groups. The binding factor in the past was faith in our religion and its scriptures. The temple strengthened this faith and the sense of unity, the temple which belongs to the whole village or town and ...
|Hinduism and Other Religions
We feel apologetic about the differences in Hindu society especially since we think that the followers of other religions are not divided in the same way as we are. The latter are scornful of Hinduism on this score and some Hindus themselves feel that the differences in our society are unjust. But, if you pause to reflect on the subject, you will realise that if our civilization has survived from prehistoric times until today it is only ...
|The Eternal Religion
The moral and ethical ordinances in other religions are applicable to all their followers. In Hinduism too there is a code of conduct meant for all varnas and all jatis. But in addition to this, there are seperate dharmas for jatis with different vocations. There is no intermingling of these vocations and their corresponding dharmas. This fact is central to Hinduism and to its eternal character. This ...
|Brahmins are not a Privileged Caste
It is alleged that Brahmins created the dharmasastras for their own benefit. You will realise that this charge is utterly baseless if you appreciate the fact that these sastras impose on them the most stringent rules of life. There is also proof of the impartiality of the dharmasastras in that the Brahmin who is expected to be proficient in all the arts and all branches of learning can only give instruction in them but cannot take up any for ...
|Universal Well-being
According to the canonical texts, the Brahmin must perform vaisvadeva everyday in front of his house-the offering of bali to the Pancama is a part of this rite. The goal of Vedic works is the happiness of all mankind, indeed the happiness of all the worlds ('Lokah samastah sukino bhavanthu'). The sound of the Vedas creates universal well-being, so too Vedic sacrifices. As a ruler, the Ksatriya ...
|The Fourth Varna has its own Advantages
The dharma of the fourth varna involves much physical exertion and effort in its practice. Outwardly it may seem that its members do not enjoy the same status and comforts as others do. But we must note that they are comparatively free from the discipline and rituals to which the rest are tied down. In the past, they knew more contentment than the other castes, living as they did by the side of the lord. Vyasa himself says: 'Kalih saduh, ...
|Removal of Ego
'All that is fine. But what about the question of self-respect? ' ask reformers who profess to be socialists. For them, however, to raise such a question is to remain untrue to their own ideals. They talk a great deal, don't they, about dignity of labour? They proclaim that no job, no work, is degrading. Gandhiji cleaned his toilet himself. ...
|The Ultimate Purpose of Varna Dharma
When factories took the place of handicrafts and cottage industries, the small vilage communities became urbanished. The needs of people multiplied, so too the number of occupations. Today when the old way of life is gone, it semms impossible to revive the system of hereditary vocations. Is it any longer practicable how to insist that only Ksatriyas ought to man the defence servises, that only Vaisyas can transact trade and business, ...
|The Universal Remedy
In the past, though people were divided on the basis of caste, they were free from hared and ill-will. It is now that we see ill-will and hatred everywhere in the country. One state is at loggerheads with another; one state has dispute with another over the sharing of river waters; and again one state has a quarrel with another on the question of boundries. In the past, Cettiars[of the South] built dharmasalas[free boarding and lodging houses] ...
|Sankara and Sanatana Dharma
There is a saying in English:'Give a dog a bad name and hang him. ' The dog is a faithful animal and full of gratitude for its master. Few would relish the idea of a dog being hanged. So if any dog is to be hanged, it is perhaps to be given a bad name. Reformers who claim to be modern do the same with our dharmasastras. For ages these sastras have done this nation nothing but good. But the ...
|Cry 'Grow' - Don't Cry 'Perish'
To speak on the other hand of the glory of Tamil culture, constantly recalling the words of Tiruvalluvar and others who extol love and divine grace, and to raise on the other hand the cry of hatred against a certain community -with the display of posters everywhere proclaiming such hatred -does not seem to me right. It goes against the very spirit of Tamil land and causes me great anguish. If you cry 'Grow', instead of crying ...

Speakers urge in-house training, safety of journalists
ISLAMABAD: Speakers on Wednesday stressed for developing in-house training facilities for media persons and a mechanism for safety of journalists to enable them to provide accurate information to general public.
It was the prime responsibility of media houses as well as the government to develop a mechanism for training media persons, their safety and pay them reasonable salaries to ensure better standard of reporting, they said while speaking at the fourth National Media Conference organised by 'Individualland Pakistan' in collaboration with Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FnF) discussed some of the most vital contemporary issues that the Pakistani media is facing presently.
The event was attended by senior journalists and members of civil society organisation from across Pakistan. Speakers also said that senior journalists and editors need to educate their juniors about journalist's ethics and norms.
Participants said that there is a need of effective code of conduct for journalists with the consultation of stakeholders'. "Government want to implement selective code of conduct which is not acceptable to media house and also affects quality of journalism," they said.
"There is disconnect between media owners, editors, bureau chiefs and the working journalists that not only affects the quality of reporting but also the state of journalism in Pakistan," Muhammad Ziauddin, a senior journalist said.
He said that senior journalists need to train their juniors and media houses need to play their due role for developing media ethics. "Since the inception of Pakistan, no government has taken any measure for evolving media ethics."
Senior journalist Arif Nizami said that electronic media is showing what the public wants to see. "Our public is more interested in celebrity, divorces so channels have to comply." He said that there is a dire need of workable code of conduct and effective training for journalists.
Gulmina Bilal Ahmad, Executive Director of Individualland stated that media houses have to invest in their staff for training and give protection to them, instead of NGOs. "The responsibility lies with the owners but unfortunately they do not comply so NGOs have to step in."
Digital Rights Foundation Executive Director Nighat Dad also spoke on the occasion. Individualland also awarded the Shaheed Irshad Mastoi Conflict Journalism Award to four journalists for balanced conflict sensitive reporting.
The four journalists hailing from Balochistan and KP were awarded shields and a cash award of Rs50,000 each. Presidents of the Press Clubs of 18 districts of Pakistan are participating in the two-day media conference and they appreciated the establishment of the award.

Do not submit additional documents unless they are specifically requested. Admissions selectors will not use them when assessing your application unless they are required.
An academic transcript is a list of the programmes you have been enrolled on and the grades that you have received during your programme of study.
You must provide an official transcript from the Academic Registry or Student Records office at your institution. The transcript must be:
- on institutional-headed paper;
- be stamped and signed by the issuing office.
This can either be your final degree transcript and certificate, if you have completed your degree, or an interim transcript if you are currently studying for your degree.
If your documents are not in English, you must also upload a full translation of each document, prepared by your university or a registered translator. You must not translate the documents yourself.
For Taught Postgraduate programmes we require one academic or professional reference. The application form will ask you to provide two references, however you only need to enter one. To proceed with the application process you will need to enter the same details for referee 1 and 2.
In some cases we may also ask for an academic writing sample of at least 3000 words and/or interview.
For Research Degrees: we normally require two academic references, however applicants who graduated more than 3 years ago may submit one academic and one professional reference from a current or previous employer. Applicants who graduated more than 5 years ago may submit two professional references.
We will not be contacting referees to request references, you must arrange for them to be submitted by the application deadline. Reference letters should be produced on headed paper, bear an original signature and must be written no earlier than six months prior to application. Referees must email their references to email@example.com from their institutional email accounts.
We cannot accept references from personal/private email accounts (i.e. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail).
Alternatively, if a company/institutional email address is not available, we can accept hard copies of references on a letter headed paper, signed and with contact details, to be mailed to the address of SAS Registry. We are not able to accept references sent by email directly from the applicants.
We can only accept confidential references. This means that your referee has written their letter objectively and that you have not read it. Therefore we cannot accept references that you email to us yourself.
References should normally be written in English. If a referee wishes to write in another language she or he should first contact the School to be sure their language of choice is acceptable.
English language requirements
All students whose first language is not English AND who are not nationals of a country deemed by the UK Home Office to be "majority English speaking", must be able to provide recent evidence that their spoken and written command of the English language is adequate for postgraduate study. This requirement is specified in order to ensure that the academic progress of students is not hindered by language difficulties and that students are able to integrate socially while studying and living in the UK.
- International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic Version, 7.0 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any component. The qualification or test result must have been awarded no more than two years prior to the proposed date of enrolment - www.ielts.org
- Trinity College London, ISE III exam = CEFR C1 in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening
- If you need a Tier-4 Visa to study in the UK, you will require results from an IELTS for UKVI Academic test taken at an Approved Secure English Language Tests and Test Centres - 7.0 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any component.
- A Bachelor's or Master's Degree from one of the countries deemed by the UK Home Office to be "majority English speaking".
The majority English-speaking countries as defined by the Home Office can be found here: https://www.sas.ac.uk/graduate-study/entry-requirements
The required evidence should, if possible, be included with the complete application. If either unsatisfactory or no evidence of English language proficiency has been provided with the application, admission will be conditional upon the provision of such evidence. This condition will be clearly indicated on the offer letter and must be fulfilled before enrolment at SAS. Conditional offer holders will not be issued a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) until they have met the conditions of their offer.
Personal identification
Evidence of your full name and date of birth as stated on your application. This must be a scan or photocopy of either your passport, passport, photo driving licence or EU National identity cards.
If you have changed your name from that which is on the above document or certificates, you must provide official evidence of the change, e.g. a scan or photocopy of your marriage certificate or statutory declaration.
Personal Statement
Please describe your academic interests and your reasons for applying for this course of study. Please include information about other qualifications, employment and voluntary work undertaken (including any overseas) if relevant to your application of c.500 words.
Academic Writing Sample
Applicants for the MA in Human Rights applicants should submit a sample of written work with their application. If it is not possible to present a recent piece of coursework from your first (or other) degree, then perhaps you may have something relating to your work that you could use, or failing that, please write a short editorial opinion piece which could take the form of a review / analysis of an article or text, preferably on an issue relating to human rights of c.1000 words.
Applicants to the Warburg Institute should submit a sample of written work either with their application or prior to interview, preferably in English. If it is not possible to present a recent piece of coursework from your first (or other) degree, then perhaps you may have something relating to your work that you could use, or failing that, please write a short editorial opinion piece which could take the form of a review or analysis of an artwork, exhibition, article or book. Written work should not exceed 2000/3000 words (including any footnotes)
Research Proposal
As part of the application for admission to all Research and Doctoral programmes you must prepare a research proposal outlining your proposed area of study. The aim of the proposal is to determine your area of research interest so you can be matched with an appropriate supervisor, and to give you an opportunity to demonstrate to us that you have the aptitude to undertake doctoral level research.
It is the most important document submitted as part of your application, so we strongly encourage you to spend time preparing it.
Your research proposal should be no longer than 2,000 words in length, plus a bibliography. A Curriculum Vitae must be attached on a separate sheet.
We recommend you include a CV as part of your application. Your CV should be included if you are applying to a Research or MRes in Historical Research programme.
MPhil/PhD applicants by Distance Learning only: Research Degrees by Distance Learning form
As part of the application process you will need to submit the Research Degrees by Distance Learning form by uploading the document on to the portal. Please note that we are unable to consider your application if you do not submit this form.
Wait for a decision
Institutes will aim to make decisions on applications within 28 working days, although where an interview takes place, this may not be possible.
Master's Degrees
Five of the School's nine institutes offer Master's degrees in their specialist areas of expertise in the humanities and social sciences, benefitting from a friendly and supportive postgraduate-focused environment and world-leading research resources
PhD Programmes
Our research students can take advantage of a varied and challenging research training programme, with general research skills training and research methodologies courses. See what fields of study are available at the UK's national humanities research hub.

Tamra Barney's 'Fit at 40' Advice
Why slashing calories – and eating cereal for dinner – was a bust.
Is Tamra Barney actually 40 going on 25? "People often ask me how I lost so much weight and the truth is I only lost 5 pounds. But what I did do was transform my body through diet and exercise," The Real Housewives of Orange County star blogs about her hottie patottie bod.
However, Tamra's post-divorce makeover glow came at a trial and error pace. "I thought I was doing the right thing by going to the gym and reducing my food intake... isn't that what everyone tells you do?" aks the future Mrs. Judge. "I was working out 4 days a week and tried to keep my calories down by eating very little. But nothing was working. I even had my hormones tested -- just to find out that everything was working fine. I just couldn't understand why I couldn't tone up."
That's when she got schooled in Muscle Building 101. "I found out that I was not eating ENOUGH to keep my metabolism going. I thought eating a bowl of cereal for dinner would keep me skinny. WRONG!" writes Gretchen's bestie. "Most of what I was eating was carbohydrates and I was not able to maintain muscle tone due to too low protein in my diet."
Here's another page ripped right from Tamra's gym rat book: "Be consistent with your workouts. I always thought that cardio was what I needed most, right? WRONG! I still do about 40 min of cardio 3 times a week, I now concentrate on weight training -- because in your 40's, you start losing muscle and there is no better way to build muscle than lifting weights."

Help for brittle nails
Written by: De Glakas
Help for brittle and peeling nails:
First thing is finding out what is causing this disorder and what can be some of the triggers. For instance, cold weather, diet, medication or it is inherited.
Horsetail herb, in pill or tea form, is said to have antioxidant effects. The silica derived from its herb is important for maintaining body tissue.
Nails are made of protein keratin so to have strong nails, include protein into your diet. Suggest eating grass-feed beef, free-range poultry, wild-caught fish, and plant based (not soy) protein powder. Also, taking in the required amount of fruits or vegetable or taking "the next best thing" juice.
Add Vitamin E orally, this supplement restores moisture and strength.
Topical application of cuticle oil, moisturizers, vitamin E or OPI Nail Envy Polish can help keep the nail plate moist. Keep your nails short. The longer the free edge, the older the nail plate cells and more likely to be brittle.
Protect your hands and nails by wearing gloves, in the cold or while clean (wet or dry).

Following a highly successful apprenticeship, Abchurch has made its second apprentice a permanent member of the team. Renato Cabulo has been promoted to Team Assistant following his yearlong apprenticeship with the consultancy.
Renato joined Abchurch as an apprentice from Tower Hamlets' award-winning social enterprise and apprenticeship trainer City Gateway. The apprenticeship program was pioneered as part of the Evening Standard's Ladder for London campaign. The campaign aims to get unemployed young people into paid apprenticeships. Abchurch was quick to enrol in the scheme and was named as one of the Evening Standard's First 100, a roll-call of organisations who have enabled 100 apprentices to start work within 100 days of launch of the Ladder for London campaign.
Julian Bosdet, Senior Partner of Abchurch, commented: "We are proud that Renato is our second apprentice to subsequently secure full time employment with us. Abchurch has an excellent infrastructure to support and train young people, both apprentices and graduates. Impact Investment and corporate social responsibility are high on Abchurch's agenda, and with 25% of young Londoners unemployed, we are delighted to be able to invest in and support such a rewarding social enterprise for getting school leavers into work. I would encourage as many other companies as possible to get involved in this valuable scheme that is benefitting young people in need of training and job opportunities afforded to them too infrequently.."

3D - Fad Or Is It Here To Stay?
Whilst I have been impressed with the little exposure I've had with 3D, I do have to ask if it is just another fad or is it here to stay? If I am not mistaken, this is the 4th attempt to bring 3D to the cinema and naturally, like all things cinema, it finds its way in to the home. However like all new technologies, there has to be engaging program readily available [at the right price] or the consumer will simply not support it.
Since its introduction, 3D has not been without its challenges and partly why each time, the format has failed. The capture "see it without glasses" [below] says it all and is probably 3D's biggest hurdle as the feedback I hear is the resistance to having to wear glasses to see 3D.
CinemaScope was introduced in 1952 and whilst it may have had a name change, it has always remained as part of modern cinema and now is being adopted into the home for CIH systems. 3D can also be made to work with an anamorphic lens.

Smart Forvision Concept
Daimler has teamed up with chemicals giant BASF to create one totally futuristic micro machine concept, the Smart Forvision, that they plan on showing off at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Not only does it sport some heavy sci-fi styling cues, but the concept also features some very cool green technology that is supposed to rival the Nissan Leaf and its extended range, making efficiency one of its main goals.
The Forvision is actually 20 percent more efficient than the standard Fortwo thanks to some hexagonal transparent solar cells on the roof that are more than just pleasing to the eye, but also created to generate energy for the car's multimedia components and its three fans that help with climate control. We've heard of solar cells on roofs, but putting them on cars is some new school technology that might be the norm in the future!
Transparent OLEDs lie under the solar cells, which illuminate the car's interior when the door is opened or at the press of a button. But when switched off, they allow for a clear view outside like any other moonroof.
Because of BASF's magical touch (in terms of development), the Forvision is super light thanks to a set of all-plastic wheels and the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy (in layman's terms, some high-performance composite material that that really trims the fat). It also has a super-thin heat shield and aluminum fiber paints that insulate the car but allow for GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth signals to pass through without any interference.
Cool exterior design elements like its jet-inspired rear lights look like the turbines of a small aircraft, which give the rear a very futuristic and sporty look. On the inside, "e-textiles" (which are thin fabrics with custom conductive coatings) replace regular seat heating technology. So bodies seating in the seats only absorbs heat through specific contact points like the middle and lower back area of the seats. This is also featured in the armrests of the doors to provide even greater comfort. The design of the seats, in addition to the white steering wheel that looks as if it should be on an aircraft, are very unique and further enhance the sci-fi look of the concept.
No specific specs about its powertrain were given, which will most likely be released at the Frankfurt Show. While it's still only a concept, the Smart Forvision's looks and technology are something to definitely entice consumers, which will hopefully make Daimler decide to send it into production!

Danny Heller is a painter who likes to do paintings of Eichler homes, modern architecture, and suburban scenes. I found him a few months ago on the web. I love his style and subject matter. I like the fact that his paintings are simple in nature, but show a nice realistic view of suburbia that we can all relate to. Danny has definitely become one of my favorite painters.

Just popping in to say HI! and we've been packing, moving, and unpacking since Friday (in a couple different loads/shifts), hence I have not been posting. I put a teeny tiny note on the end of the last post, but I've noticed it takes about a week and then people start emailing/commenting with the "are you OK Rae?" and the "Where tha HECK are you Rae?" so I figured I should at least give a heya.
I'm currently "borrowing" internet from our new neighbors by careful placement of my laptop near the corner of our new house — well new to us, we're renting now — because Comcast (our internet provider) doesn't actually send their "internet kit" until a few days after your service is supposed to start. How does that make sense? Actually, scratch that. It's perfectly consistent with everything I have come to expect from them.
I love our new kitchen. It has a separate little room for a pantry with western doors. Elliot will pretend he is Woody. Clementine will pinch her fingers in them and scream.
My piano just got delivered a few minutes ago.
I can't reach my bedroom closet for all the boxes yet.
We have way too many chairs.
The kids' bedroom is almost all set up.
Did I mention I love our new kitchen?
I am also accidentally a little high on Goo Gone.

the 405 i think represents, cheezy as it may sound, the path of the relationship. the 405 is notoriously confusing and circular, and i think that the relationship also is showing patterns of going nowhere. about missing the exit- this is only a reference to the carelessness of the relationship, perhaps saying that the relationship isnt going back or ahead; its just staying where it is.
the entire alcohol part is confusing to me... i have a feeling one dragged the other into these bad habits. anyway... beautiful song. its one of my favs.

NC Needs to 'Raise the Age'
North Carolina is the only state in the nation that still prosecutes all 16- and 17-year-olds as adults, regardless of the severity of the crime, in adult criminal court. When youth end up in adult court, there is limited access to rehabilitative programming, mentoring, counseling, and education. We need to "Raise the Age."
Evidence shows that the juvenile system – with programs tailored to how children think and learn – is more effective at rehabilitating youth. Fewer then go on to commit another crime, which means lower costs to society and more children growing up to become educated, employed citizens.
New York was the only other state to do this and they just changed their law when Governor Cuomo signed the changes into law on April 10th. Now North Carolina is the ONLY state in the county to treat 16 and 17 year olds like adults for criminal purposes. There is a lot of evidence that the total costs for North Carolina would be lower if we kept 16 and 17 years old in juvenile court for misdemeanor offenses.
While many states provide adult trials for younger defendants accused of heinous crimes, only North Carolina automatically treats everyone 16 or older as an adult. There were 89 inmates in the North Carolina prison system under the age of 18 as of last July; 14 were 16 years old and 75 were 17 years old.
The Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Act, as House Bill 380 is entitled, would try 16- and 17-year-olds as juveniles unless the charge is a serious felony. There is an option for adult trials for less serious felonies.
The bill takes two other steps to address juvenile crime. It sets up "school-justice partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, local boards of education, and local school administrative units with the goal of reducing in-school arrests, out-of-school suspensions, and expulsions" and mandates juvenile-justice training for law-enforcement officers.
The bill has good bipartisan support. Almost everyone understands that it makes no sense to automatically put 16-year-olds into adult court. That includes law-enforcement officers and prosecutors as well as advocates outside the system.
Data shows a 7.5 percent decrease in recidivism when teens are tried in the juvenile system. Further, when youthful offenders are prosecuted in the adult system the recidivism rate is 12.6 percent higher than the overall population.
HB 380 would allow the system to treat youthful offenders as individuals. Some are accused of crimes so heinous that the decision must be made in an adult court, but most have not. They deserve the chance to put their errors behind without a criminal record that will follow them around for the rest of their lives. There are currently laws in place to make for easier expungements for crimes committed at age 16 or 17.
Now that New York has moved forward on this issue North Carolina cannot be the only state to treat 16 and 17 year olds like adults for criminal purposes.
If you are charged with a misdemeanor offense and are 16 or 17 years old contact The Law Offices of Wiley Nickel, PLLC for a free consultation. We handle cases for 16 and 17 years olds in adult criminal court and hope that the law changes soon. You can reach juvenile defense lawyer Wiley Nickel at 919-585-1486 for a free consultation. We also handle juvenile cases for those charged with a crime under the age of 16.

Swedish Defence Research Agency (Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut, FOI) is a Swedish government agency for defence research that reports to the Ministry of Defence. It has its headquarters in Kista, Stockholm and other locations in Grindsjön south of Stockholm, Linköping and Umeå. The activities of FOI include research, development of technology and analysis, primarily for military defence, but also for civil emergency, security and other civilian applications.
In 2011, FOI employed around 950 people.[1]
FOI was created in 2001 by combining Swedish Defence Research Establishment (Försvarets forskningsanstalt, FOA) with Swedish Institute for Aeronautic Research (Flygtekniska försöksanstalten, FFA).
FFA had been created in 1940 in Bromma, Stockholm as a governmental research institute for the Swedish aviation industry, large parts of which were devoted to military aircraft.
FOA had been created in 1945 from three existing organisations:
- The Defence Chemical Establishment (Försvarsväsendets kemiska anstalt, FKA), a government agency created in 1937 and located in Ursvik, Sundbyberg Municipality. FKA had predecessors in chemical warfare and chemical warfare protection activities conducted at Lund university from 1926 and Uppsala university from 1928.
- The Institute of Military Physics (Militärfysiska institutet, MFI), a collaboration organisation between the Swedish universities' physics departments started in 1941 as an initiative to put modern physical knowledge at the disposal of Sweden's defence during World War II.
- A part of the government agency Swedish Board of Inventions (Statens uppfinnarnämnd, SUN). In 1942, SUN had started a unit concerned with radar experiments, in an effort to combine all Swedish radar-related research in one organisation.
Soon after FOA was created in 1945, the organisation was tasked to investigate the novel invention of nuclear weapons for the Swedish armed forces. This included both protection activities, and investigations and preparations for a possible Swedish nuclear weapon program. In the 1950s and 1960s, this constituted a considerable part of FOA's activities. After Sweden signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968, the remaining nuclear development activities were dismantled, and only protection research remained in the nuclear area.
Initially, all FOA's divisions were located in the Stockholm region, but in the 1970s, some parts were relocated to Karlstad, Linköping and Umeå.
In the early 2000s, activities at FOI have been scaled back as a cost-saving measure. When FOI was created in 2001 from FOA and FFA, the number of employees stood at around 1,300, but in 2007, this had been reduced to around 1,000.
In 2005, several of FOI's activities in the Stockholm region were moved to a common location in Kista.

A frustrating ruler with the brain of a bird"

Introducing The Fabulous Pharaoh King Nessees.
Without a care in the world he'd spend all his deben,
On the finest fabric found only in Yemen.

Berries from Babylon and a few herbal leafs.
Fat King Tut enjoys his culinary conquests.'

Christmas can seem so loud with activity and busyness that often times, we aren't really enjoying it. It can be such an amazing time of the year, if we just allowed ourselves time to be quiet and simply enjoy the season with family.
7 Quiet Ways to Enjoy the Christmas Season
- Watch the Snow Fall – Assuming you get snow in December! We all love the first snow of the year. It is mesmerizing to just watch it fall. I love to take photos of it coming down and covering the tress. There is nothing like a December snowfall, so taking time to just stop and enjoy its beauty should be one of the first things you do when you notice it falling.
- Listen to Christmas Music with Only the Christmas Lights On – There is just something about soft Christmas music playing while all the house lights are off and only the lights of Christmas illuminate the house. It is so relaxing and refreshing. Children can quietly play with their toys on the floor and you can just take in the sweetness of a quiet evening and the blessings of family.
- Read a Christmas Novel with Your Family – I love to read Christmas themed books, both for myself and for my family. I have my favorite picture books that I love to read to my younger children every year, but I also have some books that are perfect for the Advent studies. I also have some that are my own books.
- Make S'mores by the Living Room Fire – One of American's favorite dessert that has been bringing families together for a long time, is also a perfect way to usher in a quiet evening with the family. It would be the perfect time to share your favorite family stories.
- Watch Christmas Movies – I absolutely love the Hallmark movies for Christmas. There are some movies that are by far my favorite that I enjoy watching with my family time and time again.
- Go for a Drive in Your PJs to Look at Christmas Lights – We love to go for a drive to look at Christmas lights, but have turned it into a nativity scavenger hunt. We may just have to take it to the next level and dress in our PJs, since we are always so tired by the time we return home.
- Look at Family Photos of Christmas' Past – Our family loves to look at family photos. Christmas is the time of year that just makes the tradition more inviting to just settle in and laugh over the photos that mean most to us. You can even make a photo book of your favorite ones together and give them as gifts.

Trick or Treat
For all my friends near and far away, here's a treat for All Hallows' Eve
Just a simple parish priest who believes that we are all one in Christ whatever race, ethnicity, class, gender or orientation. An advocate for the poor, the middle class, that the working people. It is time for us to rise up and fight back against the greed of the rich the super rich and the multi-nationals who seek to rob the people of our place in the sun

Aya Miyama put Japan ahead with a free-kick before Kelly Smith turned the game on its head with two goals.
Smith held off two defenders to level, and England looked on course for victory in Shanghai as the Arsenal striker struck from close range.
But England were thwarted as Miyama struck with a second free-kick from an identical position deep in injury time.
Both teams started nervously in the first international between the two nations.
That was hardly surprising as the first priority was to maintain a firm footing on a pitch that cut up from the first whistle.
England's Eniola Aluko looked lively and pacy, while Japan's outlet was the Afro-haired Eriko Arakawa, who presented a physical threat.
While Japan preferred to build neatly, if not painstakingly, through midfield, England were happier to employ a more direct style to use the pace of Aluko, and the Chelsea youngster was played in by Smith, but instead of driving on, shot from distance to give the keeper and easy save.
Rachel Yankey beat the offside trap to drive in a cross which Smith was just beaten to at the near post by Yukari Kinga.
Japan keeper Miho Fukumoto confidently dealt with a couple of dangerous Karen Carney crosses but she presented England with a golden chance.
Fukumoto failed to make contact as she raced from her box to challenge Aluko for a through ball, leaving the England forward with an open goal but from a tight angle she failed to hit the target.
The Japanese keeper redeemed her error as England began the second half strongly.
Fara Williams was played in but Fukumoto reacted brilliantly to plunge to her right and save her powerful shot.
There was some desperate defending as England searched for the opener and penned Japan into their own half.
Japan emerged from the siege to take the lead against the run of play.
Katie Chapman conceded a free-kick 23 yards out and the Japanese posted two players, on their knees in front of England's defensive wall.
Before the kick was taken they got to their feet and it had the desired effect as Miyama's shot passed through the wall and swerved away from the unsighted Rachel Brown.
England were denied an instant reply as Umi Utsugi bravely threw herself to block Smith's piledriver.
Fukumoto again denied England, standing strong to beat away Carney's shot, while Hiromi Isozaki cleared Aluko's cross-shot from under the bar.
Yankey missed a glorious chance to put England level but she somehow headed Carney's cross wide from four yards out.
England got a deserved equaliser when Smith showed great presence, technique and strength to hold off two defenders and slot the ball home from 12 yards.
England sensed the momentum was with them and Smith scored what looked to be the winner when she drove in on goal, and although her first effort was saved by Fukumoto, she retained her composure to retrieve the loose ball and score.
But England's celebrations were cut short, when Japan were awarded a free-kick from an identical position and range to where Miyama scored the first.
She again obliged by dipping her shot over the England wall, with what proved to be the last kick of the game.
Japan: Fukumoto, Isozaki (Nagasato, 86), Kinga (Ando, 45), Miyamoto (Hara, 70), Sakai, Arakawa, Sawa. Iwashimizu, Miyama, Ohno, Utsugi.
England: Brown, Scott (Johnson, 89), Stoney, Chapman, White, Phillip, Carney, Williams, Aluko (Scott, 74), Smith, Yankey.
Referee: Kari Seitz (USA)

Over the past couple of months I haven't had much time to spend on my Tau. I have got one unit of Fire Warriors painted and had a couple of games (another this week, hopefully), but that's about it.
This is one of the main reasons for my lack of constructive posts, with only reposts of news and rumours taking up most of the posting on Warhammer Tau. Now I would like to change that, and I hope with the imminent (hopefully) arrival of a new codex, that I will be revitalised and able to add some more interesting posts.
However, I would like to open the blog up a little and allow one or teo other bloggers to post here. So I am putting out a call to anyone who has anything to say on the subject of the Tau and their wider brethren! Drop me an email (ironmammoth AT gmail DOT com), send me an article, whatever! Once I have checked it I will post it to the blog, giving full credit where it's due... Then if you want to become a regular contributor I will add you!
This post is inspired by a comment on a previous post from someone who would like to contribute (Casey), who asked me to email him back to arrange something. Unfortunately, I have been unable to trace his email address (probably inept Net skills on my part), and so have not been able to sort that one out...
With a little help from his friends!
