As bustling as any other European metropolis, Bucharest has a wide offer to choose from, promising to keep you busy for days in a row. From architecture and museums to parks and its historic centre, galleries, nightlife and a long list of tours, the hard part is probably deciding what to start with.
Romania's capital and largest city, once nicknamed The Little Paris or The Paris of the East, is said to have been founded by a shepherd named Bucur, Romanian for joy. Recorded in 1368 as "citadel on the Dambovita", it would see its name changed to Bucharest in the time of Vlad Tepes, known as count Dracula. Now alive with a luxurious lifestyle, its eclectic and exquisite fusion of old and new, West and East, belle époque buildings, wide avenues and side walks, lined up with trees and modern buildings, Bucharest and its inhabitants – close to two million – welcome its visitors warmly and kindly. Probably one of the best places to start, in order to observe this city's unique charm is the Lipscani district, comprised between Calea victoriei, Blvd. Bratianu, Blvd. Regina Elisabeta and the Dambovita river, a former place of election for the establishment of merchants and craftsmen from different nationalities and religions, responsible for the medley of architectural styles ranging from art nouveau to neoclassical and baroque, for example. Nowadays, most of the stores and shops have been replaced by antique shops, art galleries and coffee houses, which make it ideal for strolling around and even buying some souvenirs. The historic area is also home of what is left from the Old Princely Court, built, in the 15th century, by Vlad Tepes (count Dracula), who used its dungeons to keep his prisoners. Right next to it, is the Old Court Church, the oldest in the city, with 16th century frescoes worth the visit. The Parliament Palace, the second largest administrative in the world after the Pentagon, is one of the main evidences of the communist legacies. Built by the country's best artisans by order of the Communist Party leader Nicolae Ceausescu, today it also serves as an international conference centre. In the south end of this building, you'll find the Civic Centre, a huge complex of apartment buildings.

January 21, 2010 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – With artists like Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, U2 and Metallica deploying Crown amplifiers live in concert this year, 2009 proved to be another landmark year for Crown International. Crown reaffirmed itself as the leading provider in high-end amplifiers for the touring market with the introduction of I-Tech HD and laid the groundwork for success that will carry throughout 2010.
Nowhere was Crown more influential than the concert for the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October. There, audio installation company Firehouse Productions used 96 Crown I-Tech 12000HD amps for rock and roll legends Metallica, Stevie Wonder, U2 and more. System engineer Mark Dittmar selected the Crown amps for their ability to provide high amounts of power and clarity efficiently and for Linear Phase FIR filters that offer unrivaled crossover performance for sonically pure tunings.
"With the lineup of rock and roll legends that we had for the 25th anniversary concert, we knew we needed a sound system that was versatile but powerful at the same time," Dittmar said. "With the combination of Crown and JBL, we had more than enough power and clarity, and the whole system was extremely efficient."
This wasn't the first time that Firehouse turned to Crown at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the induction ceremony for Jeff Beck, Run DMC, and Metallica last April, Firehouse used a series of I-Tech HD powered amplifiers to power a PA system in delivering songs from high-profile musicians, including Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Another established superstar that turned to Crown this year was Taylor Swift. Sound engineer Russell Fischer used a combination of 80 I-Tech HD amplifiers at all 52 concerts of the tour. As a loyal Crown customer that has been turning to Crown since the DC series, Fischer was very familiar with the sonic integrity that Crown is famous for, and he was very satisfied to experience the reliability and sonic quality that came with the I-Tech HD series.
"We at Crown have been satisfying the power-needs of musicians for decades, and 2009 was no different," said Brian Divine, Director of Touring for Crown. "We were used in some of the most high-profile concerts of the year, we came out with some great new products, and we were able to satisfy all of the needs of our existing customers. We are very excited about the success we had this year and we are looking forward to bringing it through to 2010."
Another leading performer experiencing success with Crown on tour is Bruce Springsteen. In 2009, he turned again to Crown for power on his Working on Dream Tour. Sound reinforcement company Audio Analysts provided Springsteen with a series of 36 I-Tech 5000HDs and 18-Tech 12000HD amplifiers for his 45-show tour. With decades of experience with Crown amplifiers, Springsteen was very familiar with Crown's precise algorithms, and with the new generation of amplifiers, he wasn't disappointed.
"We are proud to say we have been working with Bruce for the last 17 years," said Albert Leccese, Vice President of Engineering for Audio Analysts. "Bruce works very hard to deliver an exciting, high-energy performance and he has the highest expectations for his band and everyone else involved in the show's production, including his sound company. The Crown I-Tech HD is a testament to this attitude, which validates our continued support for our clients. Audio Analysts strives for innovative technologies that reinforce our efforts to supply our clients with the best equipment at a fair price."

Yeah I did. Couldn't believe they had Bryan go over Cena clean as a sheet. No distractions, no nothing. Even Punk wasn't allowed to that 2011 at MitB. The pin via the Busaiku knee was picture perfect and caught me completely off-guard (hope he'll adopt the Busaiku knee as his finisher). I guess with Cena gone for the next 4-6 months it makes sense though. Now they have all that time to build Bryan as the top babyface. I hope they won't screw it up, since the crowd is solidly behind him.
Some gifs:
Whole PPV was great though. Christian vs Del Rio and Rhodes vs Sandow were little gems. The only stinkers were the Divas match (even though Natalya did her best to do something out of it) and Wyatt vs Kane which was rather boring. I am slightly disappointed they had Ziggler in a toilet break match between the two main draw matches, but oh well, someone had to take that spot.

This year's crop of Union Jack quilt blocks
32 comments:
Nice way to express love for mother land
Great job!
gifts to pakistanI love your blocks! I am an anglophile myself too, I lived in England a few years ago and I fell in love with the country the moment I set my foot on British soil. I have quite a stash of reds (I am making a Dear Jane in beige and reds) and you have given me an idea about what to do with the remnants. Thanks for sharing them (Nieves from Madrid, Spain)
ReplyDeleteOkay, do you have a good source for the Cool Britannia collection? One of the prints from the collection I really love isn't listed on the Fat Quarter Shop site. Any other suggestions, because you know I'm just itching to hold that fabric to my chest, breathe deeply, and imagine I'm in London.
ReplyDeleteLove those blocks Amy!
I love the UK too -- mostly those wonderful accents. I backpacked through Europe when I graduated college and hoped that I would meet my British husband there so I could live with an accent for the rest of my life (and maybe adopt a faux one myself (a la Madonna!)...LOL!). Alas, that didn't happen, and maybe I should have specified which accent I was hoping for, because God sent me the most wonderful man. With an accent too! But it's a Queens one (think New York accent, but not the exaggerated Brooklyn ones from the movies). Sigh for no British accent, and SIGH for my wonderful local hubby. :)
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Featured COMSOL Projects
Peristaltic pump fluid-structure interaction
Peristaltic pumps move fluid by squeezing an elastomeric tube causing the fluid inside the tube to follow the motion of the roller. Veryst Engineering developed a fluid-structure interaction model of the operation of a peristaltic pump. The model captures the deformation of the tube, rollers and the fluid, and is useful for investigating the effect of pump design variables such as tube occlusion, tube diameter and roller speed on the flow rate and the stress state in the tube.
For more details click here.
Sea floor energy harvesting
Veryst Engineering developed proof-of-concept models for a device for harvesting energy from constant low speed ocean floor currents in order to power ocean sensors. In the design shown here a bluff body is inserted in the flow path to generate Karman vortices which are then directed to an energy conversion device.
For more details click here.
Thermal analysis of a Calrod
A Calrod is a heating element that converts electricity into heat via Joule heating. Veryst Engineering developed a multiphysics model of a Calrod composed of a heating wire, surrounded by a magnesium oxide insulation, and encased in an stainless steel tube. Heat transfer from a Calrod occurs via conduction and radiation.
For more details click here.
Bergstrom-Boyce material model for elastomers
The Bergstrom-Boyce material model is accurate for modeling the behavior of a wide range of elastomers/rubbers. The model accounts for nonlinear rate dependent deformation of elastomers, and also accounts for Mullins damage. We implemented the equations governing the viscoelastic deformation and Mullins damage using the "Distributed ODEs and DAEs" COMSOL capability.

THE COLLEGE VOL. XXIV, No. 3 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1937 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1*37 PRICE 10 CENTS Council Discusses Freshman Week, Also Final Exams More Advising Upperclassmen And Entertainment "Needed In First ^Week LENGTHENING COLLEGE YEAR IS SUGGESTED President'8 House, October H.�� The success of this fall's freshman week and last spring's Comprehen- sives- formed the two main topics of conversation at the first meeting of the College Courfctl. Discussion fol- lowed supper in Miss Park's living room, and at about ten o'clock, the members of the Council repaired to the dining- room, where Miss Howe ex- plained the blue prints of the new dormitory which had just been, de- livered to Miss Park during the day. The undergraduates who had formed the Reception Committee for freshman week felt that on the whole the four days' program had been suc- cessful. The President, Miss Ward, and the girls who had stood guard outside their offices all felt that the innovation of having those who live in the vicinity report a day earlier than the others for appointments was a good one. Everyone agreed that the delays which did occur in the routine of appointments were una- voidable, and that freshmen in future yeava. .should be warned not to make appointments with different people too close together. In the halls, some people felt, there should have been more upperclassmen who would npt be busy all day, to give advice in between appointments, and to suggest things to do. On the whole, Priscilla Little, '41 Class Chairman reported, fresh- men had found the time well filled, but she agreed with Sue Williams that Friday evening was a rather "dreary spot" and that plans for some sort of entertainment might help anothar year. Miss Petts and Mildred Bakewell said that a Sunday morning walk seemed to have been much appreci- ated, and that the tennis tournaments and hockey practices might be supple- mented by more walks next year. Mrs. Manning brought with her some statistics she had just compiled from the questionnaires given to last year's seniors just after Comprehen- sives. Her summary of the results of this questionnaire is published on p.�. Continued on fuge Three Miss Ward Gives Report On Freshman Statistics Varied Preparation and Large Number Distinguish 1941 Music Room, October 14 and 19.� Miss Ward, in reading freshman sta- tistics,' revealed two interesting facts about the class of 1941. 'The number of new students amounts to 144, which brings the college enrollment to 423, even greater than the 1929 high mark. These freshmen have been prepared by 99 different schools, a great ad- vantage because of the variation in their ideas and background. The different plans for entrance also make it possible to admit fresh- men with varied preparation. Eight per cent were admitted under plan A, in which examinations in 15 subjects are offered. The majority of the class offered four examinations under plan B. A smaller per cent of the students entered on the basisj of rank in their class, on Regents' Examinations and on the progressive school experiment which requires no examination and no fulfillment of the required curriculum. ' The geographical distribution Is split between 23 different states, the District of Columbia and three for- eign countries, but over 50 per cent of the students come from the "home quadrangle bounded by New York on the North, Washington on the South and Paoli on the West." Among the freshmen are 13 alum- nae daughters. Also significant in this class is the low average age of 17 years and 10 months. Since the col- lege no longer requires 20 tihits for admission, it takes a year less to pre- pare for examinations. The score of the applicants, Miss Ward explained, is made up of two items; the Scholastic Aptitude test, and the College Board Examinations, which are now reported on a scale of SO') instead of the former scale of 100. According to this method the student's percentile rate is computed not individually, but in relation to the rates of all the other students throughout the country who take the examinations. The predicted score is worked out from a formula combining the Schol- astic Aptitude test and a straight average of the College Board Exami- nations. It � represents the student's probable ability in college work. It does not pretend, however, to predict a student's maturity, industry, am- bition or intellectual curiosity, which are in themselves important in college Continued on Page Six O Tempera! O Mores!" Say Alumnae Recalling Cheering Galleries at Hockey No literary comment so aptly char- acterizes comments gleaned from visit- ing alumnae as the old hackneyed out- burst, "0 Temporal O MoresIs' Time was, they say, when hockey games were played before a cheering gallery; when woman's suffrage was the prpb- lem of the hour and wide-eyed stu- dents planned careers�though trous- ers never graced the undergraduate female form. Mary Mendonhall Mullin, '96, com- mented that 1937 students "are much more poised and at ease than we were." She also thought that they were far better prepared for college 'academically than were her contem- poraries. The night rules of the 1900's had their finer points, as described by H. Jean Crawford, '02. Girls who had to spend a night in Philadelphia could stay only at the Christian Associa- tion. Those who returned after dark on the Paoli Local were not trusted to the escort of a mere "lantern man." Instead, the so-called "Black Maria," a horse-drawn bus, carried late revel- ers back to college. Extras, for the bus was small, sat on the roof, or even had to walk alongside in convict-like lines. In the age of 1908 "a man was an event on the campus," said Dorothy Strauss and Alice Sachs Plaut, both of that year. It was flattering to hear that they thought the situation was otherwise today. The battles of wom- an suffrage, rather than- those of world peace, were fought in conversa- tion. These alumnae were shocked at our ignorance of the leaders in the struggle for women's rights, but ad- mitted that world affairs were out- side the ken of 1908 students. There was one copy of the New York Times in all Pembroke West. Dorothea Baldwin McCollester and Yvonne Stoddard Hayes, both gradu- ated in 1913, found three striking in- novations in present day Bryn Mawr: the painting and lighting in Pembroke East; the yellow tunics of the var- sity; the braids of the freshmen. They also found the freshman Lantern Night song a great improvement over the various tunes which were chosen yearly by the newcomers in their day, and thought that it was sung better than the Pallas Athene of the Sopho- mores. Mrs. Hayes, who was the European Scholar of 1913, related with some an- noyance that the sole music facilities, of the college used to consist of four little piano rooms in the basement of Dalton. No instruction was available. Art studies were probably not even mentioned in mixed company, and cer- tainly no such thing existed at Bryn Mawr. Music and art were officially frowned on, while languages and so- cial sciences ranked as the chief ma- jors.

Senior Questionnaire Results Made Public Many Constructive Criticisms Offered, Only Five Oppose Comprehensives/ BIG MAJORITY FAVORS SPRING READING PERIOD (Especiiillii contributed by Dean Manning.) The questionnaire on the final ex- amination which all the members of the Class of 1937 were urged to fill out contained six questions: The first on the unit of preparation, the second and third on the problem of the read- ing period and the final review, the fourth on the examination papers themselves, the fifth and sixth invit- ing criticisms favorable or unfavor- able and asking for suggestions. Sixty-three out of 84 seniors who took the examinations answered the ques- tionnaire. Of these only five mem- In is of the class expressed themselves as definitely opposed to the plan of the final examination to the major subject. A number of others, perhaps a half dozen, were se critical of the details of the plan that they would probably vote against the final exami- nation if they were asked to give a ,ves-or-no answer. The great major- ity of the class, however, have made criticisms which are thoroughly con- structive and seem to assume that there should be some form of final examination and that it can be ad- ministered in such a way as to ac- complish a. useful purpose. Of the seniors who were opposed to the final examination as such, one of them, a very brilliant member of the class, remarks: "I can't see that the final examinations are of much use.

' An unusually large crowd watched the ceremony from the roof of the cloisters. It included most of the alumnae staying at the college for the weekend. Two of them revealed that their class�the Glass of 1924� would have been the first to sing the freshman lantern hymn, but that their Greek words had not proved quite satisfactory and had to be recast in their present form. Except for this, their ritual had been exactly the same, "only," as one of them put it, "we didn't start on time." After the presentation of the lan- terns, the four classes sang under Pembroke Arch. The freshmen initi- ated their class song�an unusually long one, set to the music of Mozart's Magic Flute. When the singing was over, as many of the freshmen as could be captured went to the cloisters to pose for photographs for the Year Book. MR. 9AUNDERS LENDS BARN TO PICNICKERS Notice to Organizations The Planning Committee wishes to re-explain the pro- cedure of reserving the Common Room for a meeting, and of ar- ranging for a speaker at col- lege. The speaker's name must be submitted to Miss Park for approval first, then the-date of tne engagement can be settled with Miss MacDonald, Miss Park's secretary, who keeps the records of all extra-curricular events. The president of the Undergraduate Association should be notified next, and in case Miss MacDonald is not, available, dates for the use of the Common Room may be ar- ranged with her instead. Miss Barnitz in the office of Public Relations is the person to -see about arrangements for tickets and publicity. (Especially contributed by Mildred I take well, '38.) When the great urge to hike, camp, and picnic struck the world and Youth Hostels sprang up like mush- rooms over night, the Athletic Asso- ciation pricked up its ears and stall- ed an investigation of hiking and hostcling around Bryn Mawr. We were considerably dampened to- dis- cover that the nearest hostel was at Valley Forge, and that the toft day's walk was 16 �niles. That, to those of us whose walking is done entirely be- tween Taylor, the Library, and the Greek's, was a blow. We decided that what we really needed was a barn, and Miss Petts and Sylvia Evans spent much of their spare time, and some that was not so spare, in a vain search for one. It is surprising how difficult it is to find such a common- place thing. Those that they did find were too remote, or were monopolized by cattle. Then, out of a hot summer sky, a barn fell into our very laps, so to speak, a barn that far exceeds all other barns, a very paragon of barns. Mr. Lawrence Saunders, the owner, has very kindly offered it to Bryn Mawr students-for picnics, steak fries, eating spinach or anything else. The barn is exactly two'miles north of college, and is at the beginning of a trail through the woods to Valley Forge. There is a loft full of hay, there is running spring water in the barn, and a complete supply of cook- ing utensils including a charcoal stove.

Aldrich, from New York, will speak in chapel this week. He will form a sharp contrast to the fundamentalist speaker of last week, not only in his ideas, but also in his quiet manner of address. Dr. Aid- rich is coming twice this- au- tumn, October 23 and Novem- ber 7. He is well known in New York, and has given courses to many of the Brearley girls on campus, most of^whom have asked to have him here. He also gave the Baccalaureate address at the 1936 Commencement. dotxlhart, October 18.�In his sec- ond lecture, Mr. Panofsky described the work and analysed the character of Piero di Cosimo, a Florentine paint- er who was not great, but was par-' ticularly interesting because of his obsession for the primitive. This ex- cessive interest was expressed by a series of panels, representing the Vul- can, Prometheus, and Bacchic myths, and the contribution of the three gods toward human development /"' The first painting of the Vulcan series shows a reclining youth being assisted by nymph-like maidens. The youth was thought to be Hylas, but in Piero di Cosimo's kindly picture there is n<V"evidence of amorousness on the part"of"1he maidens and re* luctance on the part of the youth, whitik- are usually associated with the Hylas myth. More likely, it depicts the first misfortune of the god, Vul- can, who was dropped from Mount Olympus, onto the island of Lemnos. The nymphs are something of a prob- lem. Early Renaissance knowledge of classical mythology was drawn from post-classical sources, and Piero di Cosimo had a choice of either apes or nymphs for the upbringing of Vul- can.. Boccaccio accepted apes, the al- legorical expression of the fact that man (in primitive form an ape) can- not live without keeping fire alive. He quotes Vitruvius, whose doctrine is not orthodox but Epicurean, a doc- trine in terms of spontaneous pro- gress, and agrees with him in think- ing that the beginning of human asr sociation was made with the discov- ery of fire. Boccaccio believed in "hard" primitivism, a bestial stage es- caped from by technical progress, as opposed to "soft" primitivism which idealizes man's'original condition. He conceived of a spontaneous forest fire, the approach of some men and the flight of others, the beginning of speech and the erection of houses. The classical representative of the philosophy of enlightenment took this Continued on Page Six Movies Are Innovation For Freshman English Films to Indicate Technical And Dramatic Growth (Especially contributed by Miss K. Laurence Stapletim and Miss Hettina I Ann.) A new approach to the problems''of narrative and dramatic expression will be made in the Freshman Compo- sition Course with its first use of ttie" moving pictures. Several famous movies will be shown on campus this semester in connection with the read- ing of drama itt the course.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is a sigmoidoscopy the same as colonoscopy? If not, which is better?
David Metz, MD, Professor of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine, responds:
A colonoscopy examines the entire colon from the rectum to the cecum including the rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon transverse colon, ascending colon and cecum. A sigmoidoscopy is a partial colonoscopy that only examines the left side from the rectum to the sigmoid colon. Colonoscopy usually requires sedation and an oral lavage or preparation is needed but it allows a complete evaluation. Sigmoidoscopy can be done without sedation, only requires enemas for preparation but is limited in its extent. I personally favor a full colonoscopy for screening.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See the full transcript of Advances in Colorectal Cancer Screening.
May 23, 2012 - Patients undergoing screening for colorectal cancer tend to prefer colonoscopy versus computed tomography colonography; and for those undergoing colonoscopy, the tolerability of bowel preparation is associated with improved polyp and adenoma detection, according to two studies presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week, held from May 19 to 22 in San Diego.

quote:JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- ESPN Watch List inside linebacker Kain Daub (Jacksonville, Fla./Sandalwood) will likely be one of the top linebackers in the country next year. After the 6-foot-3, 227-pound athlete committed to LSU on July 14, he shut down his recruitment. But now he is thinking about opening things back up. "My LSU commit is still pretty solid, but I think I'm going to open up the doors up again," Daub said. "Anything could happen, there could be a coaching change and I just want something to fall back on and not just close all doors just because I committed to LSU." Daub recently transferred from Ponte Vedra (Fla.) Nease to Sandalwood High School and is now playing alongside Alabama defensive end commit DeMarcus Walker. Daub, who has more than 15 offers, said Walker continually tries to get him to switch to Alabama.
quote:Where does this coaching change come from? Les isn't going anywhere.
quote:He's saying that's what it would take to get him to go elsewhere

quote:so expecting 3 or more losses is ACCEPTABLE?? maybe back in 95-96, when i was fricking ECSTATIC that we would even make the Independence Bowl…. times have changed for a majority of the fan base…. elite seasons are expected…. i know we cannot and will not win a National Championship every year, but i do expect to have a shot at the SEC every year, with our talent alone
quote:and your daughter might grow up to hate you.
quote:make me….
quote:Jesus Christ, are you letting your daughter type? What grown man says this shit?
quote:Why do you have to expect the same record every year? Either 13-1 or 9-3 every year is stupid. If you expect to win 12-13 games every year, you are setting yourself up for disappointment, and quite frankly are diminishing the accomplishment of going 13-1
quote:would have boosted the ole e-cred IMO
quote: i was expressing my OPINION, just as everyone else here does…. last i checked, i could still do that….
quote:i'd love for him to honor the verbal, but in reality, we will probably lose him…. Bama is just dominating at all levels right now, and that's what these recruits are seeing…. when we struggle, it hurts recruiting, especially when we struggle on National TV, looking like we did Saturday..

Thanks very much.Bought the 8GB memory card for my Samsung Tocco Lite, everything seems to be working fine, easy & fast to transfer files. Little bit of advice for other Samsung users, don't bother using the software included with the phone.

At that level in todays market it is great value.My early model (not-software-upgrade) N95 see's it as 7771mb of free space. I have loaded more than the 2gb Nokia quoted limit for micro SD storage on the phone onto it. The phone continues to write to and read from the 8gb card......However..... With the 8gb card usb pc connections to the phone are no longer stable..... the phone reboots or the pc does...... so be prepared to do lots of bluetooth or infra-red transfers of data back and forth to your pc if you want to use this..... for me, I would never want to go back to the limits of 2gb.....a Micro SDHC Memory Card usb reader is provided if you are desperate to load or unload data from the card the old fashioned way..... so again, who can complain???!!

The LaMarsh Centre for Child and Youth Research is a collaborative group of faculty and students that supports community-engaged interdisciplinary research in health, education, relationships and development of infants, children, adolescents, emerging adults and families everywhere. View our brochure:
LaMarsh Research Centre Brochure
Our research programs are based on three common themes:
1. Our faculty members are engaged in research on youth, defined as the first two decades of the life span. The problems of youth are of broad concern not only to the academic community but also to society at large.
2. Our faculty members examine factors and conditions that place youth at risk for maladaptive outcomes, both physical and psychological. Risk factors of interest include ecological, social, behavioral, and physical conditions that impede well-being. This focus includes applied research that investigates programs designed to prevent risky behavior, such as violence or HIV/AIDS risk.
3. Our faculty members are engaged in programs that promote positive physical or mental health in youth. The scientific study of risk implies a complementary examination of factors which protect against risk and promote resiliency. LaMarsh faculty members are committed to research which promotes positive youth development.
2014 - Professors Annie Bernier, (University of Montreal), and Yvonne Bohr (Director of LaMarsh Centre for Child and Youth Research).
The following topics are but a select sample, representative of areas currently under investigation by LaMarsh members:
- Bullying
- Culture and Parenting
- Girls' aggression
- Dating violence
- Healthy peer and romantic relationships
- Cognitive flexibility in childhood
- Violence prevention programs in schools
- Risky sexual behaviour
- HIV/AIDS education and risk
- Epidemiology of childhood injury
- Youth sport and psychosocial influences
- Developmental trajectories of mood disorders from childhood to
- emerging adulthood in aboriginal youth
- Perfectionism
- Injury prevention
- Media constructions of gender identity and violence
- Psychosocial adjustment of youth with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder
- Anxiety prevention among youth from high-risk communities
- Developmental asynchrony and resiliency in teenage mothers
- Preventing maltreatment in high-risk parent-infant dyads
- Risk in vulnerable infants of immigrant & transnational families
The Centre's research agenda has shifted from its original focus on violence to a focus on children and youth, including children and youth at risk. View our brochure:

Master of Divinity (MDiv) Urban LEAD Program
Urban is not a place. It's a culture.
A melting pot of cultures, Philadelphia isn't just a city that lies between the shadows of New York and Washington. It is an urban area that is identified by its choices of music, attire, and attitude. As the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S., with a population of over 1.5 million people, Philadelphia is no stranger to issues within the urban culture such as gentrification, racial tension, and socio-economic conditions. And Biblical is right in the middle of it all.
Biblical Seminary offers a Master of Divinity (MDiv) that provides a unique cultural experience through our Philadelphia location which also draws students from other urban environments in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. The program is taught by knowledgeable faculty that not only understand the urban culture but also serve there.
"I looked at a number of seminaries. What drew me to Biblical is that everything in the Urban LEAD MDiv program curriculum is sifted through an urban lens. There is an authenticity in that what is birthed out of the missional hermeneutic is lived out and is not just about words."Chris Browne, Current Student
Why learn in an urban context?
Learning in an urban context increases one's ability to appreciate the culture, empathize with the current conditions, and serve the urban community in a way that is realistic and relevant. This practical, academically challenging, and biblically-based MDiv program will enable you to exegete the urban culture and understand the needs of its people.
Why Biblical's Urban LEAD MDiv?
Biblical will provide practical training that will equip you to lead a ministry in an urban setting. You can expect challenging, biblically-based academic courses delivered in a format that will equip you to apply your knowledge to you current ministry, including:
- The use of Cohort based learning groups to foster an "iron sharpens iron" environment.
- Learning how to exegete the urban culture and understand the needs of its people by developing an urban theology, which addresses the vital issues of justice and poverty.
- Being equipped to embrace the diversity of your community and reflect it in your ministry in order to reach it.
- Being equipped with counseling skills that help you minister to broken people facing complex life issues.
How can the Urban LEAD Program change you?
At Biblical, the cohort model is a powerful delivery format for professional development because it taps into students' prior ministry experience, it is collaborative, and it occurs over a period of three years. Because students move through the program together, the quality of learning from one course to another is enhanced. Cohorts develop strong communication skills where students sharpen and challenge each other. This dynamic learning community produces the kind of deep learning, authentic contextualization, and relational wisdom that missional leaders need today.
In addition, students will embrace spiritual formation through participation in three retreats (included in tuition), an exciting ministry internship component, and an intercultural learning experience at the completion of the program.
Joy in the City
Located in North Philadelphia, Biblical Seminary's urban location provides students with a place where theology meets reality. The location, known as, "Joy in the City" and often referred to by the nickname "Joy" , is where men and women enrolled in our Urban MDiv program are equipped to minister to the communities in which they work, live, and serve. The convenience of our program allows each individual to complete a degree while maintaining full or part-time employment.
The focus of the Urban MDiv is to teach our students not only to break down and interpret Scripture but also to analyze their community in a kingdom focused way. Asking ourselves, "Does our presence in the community make a difference?" is the driving force for the faculty and students as we seek to reach the city of Philadelphia.
Biblical's Philadelphia location is at 4455 N 6th St is right in the action of the Philadelphia community. Unlike other higher education venues with an "urban" program located in the suburbs, Biblical Seminary is in the heart of the city. This unique location allows our education to be relevant no matter the metropolitan area you are from, or where you want to minister.
One Night a Week - One Saturday a Month - Less Than Four Years
Are you short on time?
Of course you are and Biblical Seminary's Urban LEAD MDiv program is custom tailored to the full-time ministry candidate, or the full-time career oriented person who desires additional training and is strapped for time. The Urban LEAD MDiv program is designed to allow a student to earn a degree in three years. Throughout the program classes are offered one night a week with an additional Saturday class once a month.
"Too many times seminary brings an image of "cemetery." That's not the case with Biblical. I don't know if there is a seminary more alive to the Spirit and mission for God than Biblical is at this very moment."

Episode Information
When asked what his studies of nature had taught him about the mind of God, the British biologist JBS Haldane is said to have answered, "He is inordinately fond of beetles." By which he meant that whoever made beetles didn't stop after making one kind. There are more than 40,000 different identified species and scientists think there may be another 40,000 waiting to be discovered.
That's the way it is with bugs. There are lots and lots of them. You may be meeting, next month on this show, some Tibetan monks. When I've talked to them in the past, I've noted that their strong belief in reincarnation is accompanied by the knowledge that they will probably come back as bugs because the odds so completely favor that.
Today we're going to talk about bugs. The ones you like and the ones you don't. You probably don't even like to hear that there IS something called the Connecticut Bedbug Forum.
You can join the conversation. Share your bug stories below. What do you love about insects? What do you hate? Leave your comments, e-mail email@example.com or Tweet us @wnprcolin.

Historical Museum
Lady Lake Historical Society Museum
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Lady Lake Historical Society Museum, the institution devoted to the history and culture of the Town of Lady Lake. During a visit to our museum, you will gain new insights into this most beloved Town, where its heritage of diversity and perpetual transformation is on display.
The Lady Lake Historical Society was founded in 1992. The young institution began collecting artifacts, furniture, decorative arts, photographs and more, and soon exceeded the space of the Log Cabin, its first location (shared with multiple organizations), now the official home of the Lady Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. The original Old Depot, used as Lady Lake's first public library, became available for use by the museum in 2000.
During the summer of 2014, the Society undertook its first thorough renovation of its display areas. We have completely changed the interior of the museum to create an environment where visitors can step into the past to learn about the history of Lady Lake. Our collections serve as a resource for exhibitions ranging from Early History, to Founding Families, to the Military, to Agriculture, to Early Schools, to Early Churches, to the Beginning of the Villages, and more!
The Lady Lake Historical Society Museum is re-opening after being closed for renovation during the summer. Guests are welcome on Saturday, September 27, at 10 am for a ribbon cutting, followed by a tour of the newly redesigned museum. The museum is located at 107 S. Old Dixie Highway in Lady Lake, between the Log Cabin and the train cars.
The Lady Lake Historical Society, Inc. – a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
Log Cabin Park, 107 South Old Dixie Highway, Lady Lake, Florida (Between the log cabin and the train cars)
P. O. Box 1486, Lady Lake, FL 32158
After the Grand Reopening on September 27, the museum will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10 A.M until 1:00 P.M.
The mission of the Lady Lake Historical Society is to identify, collect, and exhibit the ideas, arts, and artifacts of Lady Lake's heritage in order to preserve the past for future generations.
We are seeking some specific artifacts for our exhibit as either loans or donations. We need an antique cash register for our Country Store display and additional photographs of early Lady Lake residents in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Please call if you have these items or other historic items of Lady Lake to share in the museum. Copies of photographs or glass negatives will work well.
Also, we are requesting cash donations from residents and businesses in and near Lady Lake to help fund the renovation, changing displays, and additions to our museum. Names of our supporters will have a prominent place on a display board in the museum, where they will be viewed by our visitors.
Welcome All!

Testicular biopsy is surgery to remove a piece of tissue from the testicles for examination under a microscope.
Biopsy - testicle
The biopsy can be done in many ways. What type of biopsy you have depends on the reason for the test. Your health care provider will talk to you about your options.
Open biopsy may be done in the health care provider's office, a surgical center, or at a hospital. The skin over the testicle is cleaned with a germ-killing (antiseptic) medicine. The area around it is covered with a sterile towel. A local anesthetic is given to numb the area.
A small surgical cut is made through the skin, and a small piece of the testicle tissue is removed. A stitch is used to close the opening in the testicle. Another stitch closes the cut in the skin. If necessary, the procedure is repeated for the other testicle.
Needle biopsy is usually done in the health care provider's office. The area is cleaned and local anesthesia is used, just as in the open biopsy. A sample of the testicle is taken using a special needle that does not require a cut in the skin.
Depending on the reason for the test, a needle biopsy may not be possible or recommended.
As a general rule, you should not take aspirin or medications that contain aspirin for 1 week before the procedure. Ask your doctor before stopping any medications.
There will be a sting when the anesthetic is given.You should only feel pressure or discomfort similar to a pin prick during the biopsy.
The test is usually done to find the cause of male infertility when a semen analysis suggests that there is abnormal sperm and other tests have not found the cause. In some cases, sperm obtained from a testicular biopsy can be used to fertilize a woman's egg in the lab, a process called in vitro fertilization.
Testicle biopsy may also be done if you have found a lump during testicular self-examination . If tests such as testicular ultrasound suggest that the lump may be in the testicle, your health care provider may recommend exploring the testicle through a surgical cut made in the groin.
A biopsy to determine whether the lump is cancerous or noncancerous (benign) may be done. If it is cancerous or cancer is suspected, the entire testicle is removed.
Sperm development appears normal.
Abnormal results may mean a problem with sperm or hormone function. Biopsy may be able to find the cause of the problem.
If the sperm development appears normal in the testicle, but semen analysis shows no sperm or reduced sperm, there may be a blockage of the tube through which the sperm travel from the testes to the urethra. This blockage can sometimes be repaired with surgery.
Other causes of abnormal results:
Your health care provider should explain and discuss all abnormal results with you.
There is a slight risk of bleeding or infection. The area may be sore for 2 - 3 days after the biopsy. The scrotum may swell or become discolored. This should clear up within a few days of the procedure.
Your health care provider may suggest that you wear an athletic supporter for several days after the biopsy. You will probably be asked to avoid sexual activity for 1 - 2 weeks.
Keep the area dry for several days after the procedure.
Continue to avoid using aspirin or medications that contain aspirin for 1 week after the procedure.
