UCL - United World Colleges - Undergraduate International Outreach Bursaries, University College London (UCL)
Scholarships and Funding
|Important information for Students
UCL - United World Colleges - Undergraduate International Outreach Bursaries
University College London (UCL) and United World Colleges (UWC) have agreed to collaborate in a scheme to enable graduates of a UWC, who are financially unable to study in the UK, to pursue full-time undergraduate studies at UCL. With this scheme UCL supports the aims of UWC to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Two bursaries are available annually for UWC-nominated students who have firmly accepted their UCL admissions offer.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must:
- Be a final-year IB diploma student attending a United World College (or completed their studies in the preceding calendar year - candidates from Waterford Kamhlaba UWC only);
- Apply for admission through UCAS by January for a full-time undergraduate degree programme of study at UCL and firmly accept your UCL offer;
- Be assessed as paying overseas tuition fees; and
- Lack the financial means necessary to pursue undergraduate degree studies at UCL.
Selection Criteria
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial hardship and academic merit, based on the aims of the bursary.
Value: Benefits and Duration
Each bursary will consist of full tuition fees and a maintenance allowance for the duration of the student's programme of study, as well as international economy air travel to/from the UK at the beginning and end of the bursary-holder's degree programme. The maintenance allowance will normally rise each year in line with inflation but at the absolute discretion of UCL. In addition, the bursary includes an allowance (on request and up to a specified maximum sum per bursary holder) to permit two members of the bursary-holder's family to attend their graduation ceremony. Annual renewal of the bursary is subject to good academic progress by the student.
Applications, Deadline and Procedure
You must apply for admission to UCL to be eligible to apply for a bursary.
Application for a bursary is by invitation. Taking into account the financial circumstances of their students, UWC Guidance Counselors/University Advisers will invite up to three eligible students from each UWC to apply for the bursary. If you fulfil all the eligibility criteria listed above, you may wish to inform your Guidance Counselor/University Advisor that you are interested in being invited to apply. Those students invited to apply will be provided with an electronic bursary application form by their Guidance Counselor/University Advisor, and will also by late February/early March receive an essay topic set each year by UCL, and instructions regarding the essay which is part of the application for a bursary.
NOTE: Essays must not exceed the permitted word count and be in the candidate's own words. All essays will be checked for plagiarism. We would advise all students to consult our website on plagiarism. If an essay is found to exceed the permitted number of words, or if UCL finds evidence of plagiarism, the entire application will be deemed ineligible, and will not be considered for a bursary.
Complete applications and essays must be submitted electronically to the UWC Guidance Counselor/University Advisor by 16 March. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered for funding. Your application is deemed incomplete without a valid UCAS application number. Each UWC Guidance Counselor/University Advisor will forward the three applications to UCL Student Funding Office before or by 27 April.
Selection Procedure
From the applications received, UCL will select the two academically most promising candidates to be offered a bursary, subject to fulfilling the conditions of the UCL offer of admission.
Notification of Results
Successful applicants and reserve candidates can expect to be notified by UCL by mid/late May.

My friend wrote me this in an email today:
"Do you know of a website that is helpful for guidance on child behavior? Particularly 4 year old boy behavior and hitting? I know there's the "boys will be be boys" attitude, but I'm concerned. We address it at home, but would like to know if there's more that I can do."
Any sites and books I can pass along to my friend would be most appreciated. Thx!
Does your friend want to join mothering? I'm having the same problem and would love to commiserate. DH and I are stumped!!
I have no advice but I can commiserate!
My DS turned 4 in August and has recently started acting very angry at home. Hitting, spitting, "i hate you...you are stupid", etc. He has always been a bit anxious (I am too) but he just seems so negative for a four year old. I have a difficult time taking him to the playground because I'm afraid what might happen. However, his teacher (he is in PreK for three hours a day five days a week) says he is very shy and quiet, doesn't stand up for himself.
I've called the pediatrician who told me to fill out a "Vanderbilt Questionnaire" but that deals with ADD/ADHD. Personally I think it is low self esteem.
I plan to follow through with whatever the pediatrician recommends so I will keep you posted if interested.
Good luck!
Here's the link to the Vanderbilt Questionnaire:
She could try a speech therapist that works with children on pragmatics.
My son, now 7.5yo (who does have ADHD and possibly Asperger's) doesn't hit or have the generally negative attitude anymore, he still has difficulty communicating effectively and is in speech therapy at school.

Stay safe with security screens
When home owners and builders think about security, many think of electronic sensors, trip alarms and computerised control centres.
But the physical built-up of a home should be an effective primary deterrent against break-ins. This is simple when it comes to doors. But what about Windows? Windows should be just as secure as doors Without compromising on their aesthetic appeal.
Security screens are essentially mesh grilles designed to withstand rough treatment, covering the typical Weak spots in home security. This mesh is resistant to cutting, punctures and ruptures.
Master Security Screen meets the Australian standard after undergoing impact, attempted cutting and leverage tests.

If I'm going to be picky...
Well, I've reviewed the other two, so this one has to come along with a little bit of negativity - the texture wasn't all that smooth on the face, which is the only real issue that I have with it - this one looks the best of the three, as the light within is softer, allowing you to see the effects of the face and the outer skin that you left in place, while also showcasing the incredible level of detail that you managed. I love the fact that you've done this in such a short time - how long did it take to manufacture something like this?
[Review Request Club]
it took 2 days lol.,.
odd that you mentioned the texture.. I actually used a dremmel on the surface.. thus there.. really isn't any way I coulda made it any smoother lol..
ah well it's always something hehehe..
thanks for the review coop!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
never saw that kind of stuff that well done, that's great, congratulations :o
thanks man - it's a bit of a passion of mine :)
thanks for the review!

I think that there are a lot of things about game that are done brilliantly by most, and then there are some things that are done incredibly poorly. One of the biggest offenders would have to be atmosphere in games. It is actually a topic that is discussed quite heavily and is something that I still feel a lot of games completely miss the mark on. It might not be fair to expect videogames to have the level of atmosphere that a film or album by a master could do, but at the same time, eventually videogames will have to be held to certain standards or the format will simply be written off completely.
Videogames tend to have a laser-sharp focus on this abstract concept of "graphics," and that the better the "graphics" are that the better the game is. In a way, it reminds me a lot of the arms race to have bigger, better, more powerful guns, when the reality is a gun in a skilled hand can do more than a bigger gun in a less-skilled hand. The same goes for games. There are some times when there is just too much atmosphere in a game or just too little, and very rarely is there any sense of balance involved in any of them, and a lot of times we get this strange concept of better graphics as a way to create an atmosphere, but it seems to fail.
There is no better example in my mind of a game without a real atmosphere than the Gears of War series. Now, I'm not knocking those games, because for all of their faults, they are incredibly fun games and I'm not sure that they are trying to create any sort of interesting atmosphere. Graphically, it is on par with just about everything else using the Unreal Engine and the aesthetic seems to just be muscled-up freaks with big guns. The thing is, you could play through that entire series of games and never feel all-that attached to them because there is something very artificial about them. Sure, it is a game and everything about it is artificial, but it is almost like they didn't try to truly pull you in.
Graphically, Telltale's The Walking Dead really isn't all-that spectacular, in fact, it really does look a bit worse-for-wear, never mind the fact that it goes for a more cartoon-like style over realism. Yet, even though the visual style and graphics are not going for a realistic style, the game does an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that most games can't do. I tend to stay away from games that veer on the side of horror as the idea of atmosphere tends to be lumped into dark and dreary with close camera angles and overly-dramatic music playing at all times. The Walking Dead doesn't rely entirely on these things, and isn't looking for sheer shock factor in the scares, instead the entire game has a feeling like it is taking place in a world where in your mind you can actually piece it together and feel for the characters.
While those are only two recent examples, I believe that they sum up how atmosphere can take a good game and make it a great game, and how a game without atmosphere can still be fun, but be missing that "it" factor that makes for a great game.

Las Vegas, NV, United States, 2014/04/09 - COLLABORATE 14 - A Modern User Experience Optimized for Mobile Sales Provides Anywhere, Anytime Access to Drive Sales Productivity and Performance. NYSE, NASDAQ: ORCL
Adoption of sales force automation (SFA) applications by sales reps remains one of the top challenges for todays sales organizations. To address this challenge, Oracle has made ease-of-use and improved productivity a core priority for our suite of Customer Experience Cloud offerings. With todays introduction of the latest release of Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle announces major enhancements, which center squarely on improving sales productivity (efficiency, effectiveness, and on-boarding), improving the SFA mobile experience for sales representatives and sales managers, and minimizing the need for system training, data entry and reporting chores. To meet the needs of increasingly mobile sales organizations, Oracle Sales Cloud offers anywhere, anytime access to help sales reps sell more.
Extending its commitment to helping organizations sell more, Oracle today announced the latest release of the Oracle Sales Cloud.
By providing sales reps with a continuous and simplified experience on both desktop and mobile devices, even when in a disconnected mode, the latest release of Oracle Sales Cloud provides anywhere, anytime access designed to achieve fast and wide user adoption.
The latest release also helps sales reps focus on the deals with the highest likelihood of closing and increase the predictability of achieving sales targets by delivering real-time predictive analytics on both desktop and mobile devices.
To further help sales reps maximize their time and achieve consistent forecasting, the latest release of Oracle Sales Cloud includes real-time configurable dashboards that enable sales managers and sales executives to focus on areas at risk and problem deals, instead of spending valuable time collecting data.
In addition to helping sales reps plan, prospect, collaborate and close effectively and efficiently, Oracle Sales Cloud also helps customers preserve their existing IT investments and establish an easy path to the cloud by facilitating integration from on-premise SFA systems such as Oracle Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracles JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
For more information regarding the future of sales force automation and mobile selling, register for an Oracle Sales Cloud and Gartner webcast on April 23, 9am PT/12pm ET.
Supporting Quotes
Todays sales environment is competitive and challenging, and organizations need technology that simplifies processes and empowers staff to sell more efficiently, said Siva Sundaresan, Group Vice President, Oracle Sales Cloud. The enhancements to Oracle Sales Cloud reinforce Oracles commitment to deliver simple and smart sales automation solutions. With the latest release, Oracle Sales Cloud offers sales teams a simple design, more intelligence, and greater mobility to help optimize customer interactions, increase sales effectiveness and efficiency, and drive revenue.
The streamlined user interface and usability focus make Oracle's SaaS Sales Force Automation application easy to adopt and use with virtually no training. The smart phone and tablet user experiences virtually eliminate data entry and are enhanced with sales productivity capabilities that guide salespeople through the entire selling process, said Rebecca Wettemann, VP of Research, Nucleus Research. With Oracle Sales Cloud, sales executives have all the metrics and tools they need to increase their teams sales performance and effectiveness, with added value in areas such as territory management, forecasting, and compensation management.
"Twenty years after they were invented, the number one reason for the failure of sales force automation (SFA) deployments has been the lack of adoption by field sales users who see little to no value in the amount of data they are asked to enter, said Bruce Daley, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research. Owning many of the most successful first generation products, Oracle kept this requirement in mind when designing the user interface for Oracle Sales Cloud. Oracle deliberately chose to give its enterprise applications a consumer like look-and-feel and provide a colorful, contemporary, graphic user interface and has automated as much of the data entry as possible."

Thomas McKeon" Subject: On Cruise Ship Art Auctions CHICAGO APPRAISERS ASSOCIATION When Your Cruise Ship Art Romance Goes Sour A very popular pastime is purchasing art at cruise ship auctions. Millions of dollars are spent every month by unsuspecting tourists who know little or nothing about what they acquired. Art collectors should be aware everything they bought was purchased in international waters, beyond the three mile limit of United States Court jurisdiction. If you read your receipt, there is no recourse and the appraisals don't even guarantee authenticity. The Hucksters on board these ships often make extravagant verbal claims that never find themselves in writing. They say certain works are worth thousands of dollars when they often only bring a couple of hundred dollars at major auctions. Rembrandt, Picasso and Salvador Dali prints are their main prey. No legitimate gallery would do business this way. If you feel you have been taken by one of these cruise ship auctions, phone us. We understand the legality of your auction contract. We usually can get your money back. Remember the pirates that sail the high seas today don't wear black eye patch. http://www.chicagoappraisers.com/cruise-ship-art-auctions.html * Helpful sites with information on using PPFA's Online Exchange **************************************************************** * * PPFA Announces the new Framers' Corner Forums on the PPFA * Web Site.

Peer Pressure
Peer pressure often refers to the act of choosing to do something because someone else decides to do it. Sometimes people don't want to feel as if they are not included, or that they are afraid to do things they see other groups of people doing.
Peer pressure has a much huger effect on youth than on older people. As a child you might experience situations where your friends are encouraging you to join an activity you really don't want to. For instance, if a person sees a group of his fellow classmates, including his or her best friend, join the basketball team because in a way" it's the cool thing to do,", that person would then choose to join even if he or she really thinks otherwise.
Behavior changes are another cause of peer pressure among youth and teens. If a person has been invited into the house of his or her friend, and this person experiences an argument between the friend and his or her friend's mother, an argument in which the child is expressing his or her anger using verbal use and profanity, this would probably give the child the idea that he or she could go home and do the same with his or her parents if they make him or her angry.
The most popular effect of peer pressure is people's tendencies to use drugs if they are constantly around others who choose to. The use of marijuana has vastly increased in America in the last five years, and from my experience the pressure from your peers has a massive effect.
Even though peer pressure tends to bring out the bad in people there is also a good side to it. Some of the brighter causes are that some peers push their friends to achieve things which they might not have enough confidence to endure. For example, a shy student who is really good at spelling words is leaning toward not joining the spelling bee, but their friends encourage them to do so.

Plan To Beautify Area Around Casino Could Cost Taxpayers Millions
The Ohio Department of Transportation wants to spend nearly $4.5 million to renovate the area near the new Hollywood Casino.
The department wants federal, state, county and township money to renovate West Broad Street near Georgesville Road to make the area safer and more attractive for visitors.
According to Franklin Township officials, the state wants the township to contribute $400,000 to the project.
"Franklin Township only has $834,000 in the general fund," said Franklin Township Trustee Don Cook "And at this time, $400,000 is one half of what we will have in our general fund.
Cook said that the township cannot afford to hire new police officers, to repair its salt barn that has been condemned and the streetlights to protect its own citizens.
The township also does not get a share of the taxes generated by the new casino.
Resident John Fleshman said that he does not think he should have to foot the bill for the renovations.
"This isn't Disney World," Fleshman said. "That's how they're trying to treat it. But the problem is that they are doing it at our expense."
Fleshman and Cook both said that they believe the money for the project should come from those that will benefit the most from the project.
Cook said that Franklin Township will not be one of the entities to benefit the most.
"Franklin Township does not have the money, and the taxpayers of Franklin Township should not be footing the bill for a state highway bordered mostly by the City of Columbus," Cook said.
Ohio Department of Transportation officials said that the project was planned long before the casino site was selected for the intersection.
On Thursday, Franklin Township trustees plan to vote on whether to spend the first $100,000 for the project.
Two of the three township trustees said that they were supportive of the renovation but would not say how their votes would fall on Thursday.

Treating And Eliminating Sarcoptic Mange
View Biography
I just found a little puppy in the woods behind where I work and decided to take it home and adopt it. Three days later I discovered he has sarcoptic mange, which is very contagious to my other dog and humans. Will we keep spreading it back and forth to each other? I am washing my bedding and the dogs' bedding every day. I can only dip them once a week for 3 weeks. How can I get rid of this? (Jane Hester - Louisiana)
Sarcoptic mange is caused by a microscopic mite. The life cycle of the mite is about 3 weeks from adult to egg and back to adult. The mite burrows under the skin to lay its eggs, the eggs hatch within a few days but often stay within the skin until they reach maturity in 7-14 days. As you are going to treat yourselves and the dogs twice during this time you should kill all of the juvenile mites before they can lay any eggs and reinfect you or your dogs. During this time however the hatching juveniles and the dip itself will cause continued itching. A prescription of steroids may help ease the itching.
Although the mites can live on humans for a few days they can't actually lay eggs and reproduce. Lime sulfur dips along with organophosphate dips are commonly use and do work (although particular care has to be taken to insure that the ears are properly treated as the dip is only effective if it comes into contact with the mite).
Veterinarians also use internal medicines like ivermectin and selamectin to kill the mites although these are not suitable for all breeds and should never be given other than under veterinary supervision. Washing the bedding is definitely a good idea but you will also need to treat it alongside any carpets and cloth furnishings with an anti mite powder as the mites can live away from the host for one to two weeks and re-infect everyone. I would recommend going back to the vet after your initial treatment is complete to ensure that the mite has been eradicated.

Two nights in May
Lovely apartment.
It was clean and comfortable, with everything necessary, including a dishwasher. Temple Meads train station is a ten minute walk away, there is a Tesco Express two minutes away, so all very convenient. Looked at the price of 4 star+ hotels for the weekend, and though the apartment was obviously more expensive (probably 20% more for the apartment for a Friday and Saturday night), it was absolutely worth it to have the freedom and space to do what you want. Very grateful to our contact (Zoltan) for arranging lovely flowers and a bottle of bubbly and having them ready in the apartment for our arrival; these cost extra, but were not expensive and are well worth it if you're with your partner - definite brownie points, there. Would recommend and use again.

Lovely apartment
Exceptionally clean, modern, wonderful view, close to the centre overlooking the canal.
All very luxurious. I'd definitely recommend it and would have no hesitation in staying there again. One tiny thing that would make it even better would be a small table and couple of chairs on the balcony but maybe thats something included in the summer when it warms up a bit more!

Birthday weekend in bristol
I stayed in this apartment with some friends to spend the weekend away in bristol.
The apartment was very clean, lovely and well decorated. It was equipped with everything you would need, and had very spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. The apartment is very central, making it easy to get around the city, and the man who came to welcome us in for check in was very informative and friendly. Great place to stay.

Cleyro Apartments - Finzels Reach
Extremely satisfied, anyone looking for accommodation in Bristol city centre better than hotel room
Great Apartment
Me and a few friends came and stayed at the apartment for a couple of days as we were commuting into Cheltenham for the festival.
Although check in wasn't available until 3pm, we was able to park our car in the underground car park earlier (around 10.30). We was then able to check in on our return at around 7.30. The apartment was very spacious and clean. Check in was reasonable as well, just had to vacate the apartment by 11am and leave the keys in the apartment. Would highly recommend and will definitely book the apartment again next year.

Superior Stay in luxury apartment
We choose to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel on this trip to Bristol to give us more space and this apartment was a fantastic option.
It allowed us a living/dining space to all share but the privacy of bedrooms too. Finzels Reach was so close to Cabot Circus and the waterfront making everything walkable, and the member of staff who greeted us and explained the apartment was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly choose to stay here again if the price is comparable to a hotel.

Highly recommended
What a great location and beautiful apartment.
We are looking for an excuse to stay again!

From beyond the grave, a gay man recalls high times with Judy Garland and bygone Hollywood glamour
"Under the Rainbow: An Intimate Memoir of Judy Garland, Rock Hudson & My Life in Old Hollywood," by John Carlyle. (Carroll & Graf, 2006) 344 pp., $26.95.
In the annals of Hollywood history, John Carlyle (1931-2003) would've normally rated barely a footnote. Carlyle's chief claim to fame stems from being one of Judy Garland's later confidantes and paramours even though he was gay, but that never stopped Judy.
"My Garland times, the most heightened hours and, God knows, the heterosexual heights of my life, began in earnest when I took Judy to bed," he recalls. "Or was it the other way around for a lady who was accustomed to conquest?"
By this point in her life, Garland's clout had diminished. She veered between the drugs Ritalin and Seconal, and partied away the frequently sleepless nights. The possibility of Carlyle's waking up to her dead body was a very real one.
"I mean this to be my story, not Judy Garland's," he writes. "But she sure as hell made a dent."
Although he pursued an acting career for most of his life, a self-conscious stiffness hindered Carlyle in his early years. Only in middle age and beyond did he have much of a career, mostly in theatrical roles. Most of Carlyle's TV and movie appearances were bit parts. But, as Carlyle readily acknowledges, he headed to Hollywood to be a star, not an actor. And initially, he lacked the thick skin necessary for such a profession. Henry Willson, the notorious kingmaker agent best known for producing Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter, took Carlyle on as a client, and the two remained friends until Willson's sad end in 1978.
Ironically, Carlyle's brushes with movie greatness mainly ended up on the cutting room floor. A scene from "A Star Is Born" suffered that fate, but the shoot marked the beginning of his friendship with Garland. Then he got cast as one of the young toughs in "Rebel Without a Cause," but nerves got the better of his performance, and he was dismissed. Fortunately, a trust fund and some wise property investments sustain Carlyle when his chosen avocation did not.
As Chris Freeman notes in his introduction, "John Carlyle's is a story of the one who didn't make it, but his story is more complicated and much more interesting than that."
Despite an over-reliance on pills and booze for several decades, Carlyle solidified a reputation as a wit and good friend. Through his "fringe benefits" of befriending many Hollywood actors and actresses of the time, readers gain a first-hand look at the last vestiges of a Hollywood now long-gone and deeply mourned by those few who survived to remember it.
Stately and occasionally baroque, Carlyle's writing style masterfully evokes the "sweaters and cocktails" era, when being gay meant "dignity and good taste, not shirtless boys and tweakers."
Undoubtedly some readers will find it overly mannered and might despair of Carlyle's continual returns to his dysfunctional Baltimore society family, his lingering details of his many pet cats and a seemingly unfathomable fascination with actress Joan Fontaine.
Unquestionably, the chapters detailing Carlyle's times with Judy Garland are the highlight of "Under the Rainbow." Although frequently exasperating and draining, Judy blazes like a beacon from these pages, drawing all manner of people to her inner flame, which guttered and died far too young, after far too much self-abuse. He relishes the highs and lows of their times together, sweeping the reader along in the emotional roller-coaster ride.
There are other unexpected celebrity encounters: like an audition for the aged Mae West, sharing the stage with Al "Grandpa Munster" Lewis on the dinner theatre circuit, and watching writer/heavy drinker Dorothy Parker pass out in a neighbor's shrubbery while walking her dog. Unfortunately these spicy anecdotes are the exception. Far too many pages are devoted to trivial details that people outside Carlyle's family and inner circle of friends won't care about. Other sections would've benefited from more judicious editing.
However, even during the book's clumsiest moments, Carlyle's skill as a raconteur shines through, permeating the pages with a pungent, wry sense of humor that this narrative could've used more of. For instance, his first stepmother (with older, pugilistic stepson in tow), "materialized as if by black magic on my father's arm when I was three."
Much later on, after attending a disagreeable acquaintance's funeral, he notes, "His ashes were scattered around a rose bush in the garden outside the chapel. Surely it died instantly."

Last year at the MTV VMAs we got the meat dress….this year, we got Lady Gaga's male alter ego Jo Calderone, who wore a simple black Dior jacket, white tee and black Brooks Brothers pants all night.
So it was a bit of a style letdown for me without the outrageous Gaga to shake things up.
Here's how it all breaks down:
Congrats!!!!! Will there ever be a more glamorous mommy-to-be than Beyonce? The mega-star showed off her mini bump first in a loose orange silk one-shouldered Lanvin gown and then at the end of performing her song "Love on Top" while decked out in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana, she opened her purple sequined jacket and rubbed her belly. Such a cute moment- so happy for her and Jay-Z!
Beyonce's fellow Destiny's Child member also looked amazing in a Falguni & Shane Peacock black-and-gold mini adorned with feathers and leather! She also rocked sexy studded Christian Louboutins. Love her look!
Also went with a short dress looking gorgeous, as usual, in a black embellished mini with plunging neckline. Both the dress, which showed off her long, lean legs, and the shoes are by French designer Barbara Bui from the Fall 2011 Collection.
The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Honoree kept things simple and looked cute in a black sequined Moschino jumper, which she paired with peep-toe black booties.
Where does one begin with this outfit? The crazy cotton candy wig, the face mask, the ice cream cone necklace, the mirrors on her dress, the crazy stuffed animal thingee? "Tokyo inspires this outfit," Nicki told us. "Harajuku is something I have been absorbing for a very long time." She gave Gaga some competition in the over-the-top outfits department and she succeeded in a very cheeky way. She kept things fun and interesting.
"I just felt like being colorful and fun and with me, I am okay with self deprecation," Katy Perry told us last night. "That was the inspiration for tonight… to have a laugh." And Katy succeeded with her colorful series of outfits. The "Video of the Year" winner wore four different ensembles throughout the evening, each more colorful than the last! The pink hair, the Tom Ford purple gown with lace top, the Atelier Versace blue geisha mini with matching parasol, the Dior yellow cube hat…I think she represented every color in the rainbow! She always keeps us guessing and that's why we love her.
"I didn't know if it was too, like, fancy-dancy for the VMAs but it's all about, you know, being as wild as you want to be," Miley told us. Grrr! In a long-sleeved long gown that was part animal print, part floral print, this Roberto Cavalli was all over the place and seemed too mature for the young star.
Enough said.

Thirty minutes ago, Kevin Durant put the finishing touches on a 10-27 shooting performance by knocking down (or bouncing in) a game-winning fadeaway jumper over Shawn Marion's outstretched arms. I decided to turn my brain to English-major-mode and write a brief summary of the shot:
The paradigm-shattering nature of Durant's shot cannot be denied. Consider the profound implications that Durant's tripartite conception of making goals - using rim, backboard, and net - could have for future shot-makers. The typical perception of a pure shot is one in which the ball swishes through the net. Yet, Durant, considered the purest of all shooters, refused to submit to such stereotypes. Instead, Durant's shot was a blow to the constricting chains of society's rules and norms. Altering not the form of the shot, nor the ultimate delirious result, he opened up the world to the possibility that one can receive credit for a game winning shot without blindly submitting to the net-only, rim-net, and backboard-net combination that are deemed advisable by the guardians of basketball standards. In short, with one beautifully arching shot that clanged off both rim and backboard, Durant has introduced the world to a new shot-making archetype.

The prisoners asked the commander of the jail to forward their protest to the U.N. inquiry commission.

CBB's Jasmine and Rhian reveal all about Russell Brand's 'poor hygiene'
Just when you thought Celebrity Big Brother and all who sail in her couldn't get any classier, housemates Rhian Sugden and Jasmine Lennard have had a discussion about Russell Brand's soiled underwear.
On Wednesday, Celebrity Big Brother launched for the second times this year and a gaggle of 'stars' including Cheryl Fergison, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and Danica Thrall.
Russell Brand was not one of them, but not two days into the housemates' stint on the show, the comedian has come up in conversation, as Jasmine and Rhian compared notes on his personal hygiene habits.
Having both had fleeting romantic encounters with the lanky star, Jasmine (best known for an alleged fling with Simon Cowell) and Rhian (best known for sexting Vernon Kay) traded in on yet another one of their lowbrow connections to men in the public eye.
Jasmine said of Russell: 'One afternoon I agreed to go down there and spend the afternoon, and the door opened and he was standing there in these boxer shirts that were soiled.'And he was strutting round like a peacock but he was more like a dirty pigeon.'
Affirming a belief held by many that Russell Brand sometimes goes too long without a shower, Jasmine recounted the tale of his dirty pants in front of her horrified hosuemates, leaving Julie Goodyear in a state of shock.
The former Coronation Street actress called Russell 'filthy' and added that she thought cleanliness was 'next to godliness'.
Jasmine went on to reveal that she thought Russell had cheated on ex-wife Katy Perry, saying: 'I think he let her down. I think he shagged around.'I met him and I was a bit disappointed. He's the only man in my life that I've ever run away from before consummating.'
Rhian then admitted that she too had been presented with the opportunity to have sexual relations with Russell, but that she decided against it because she also found him to be dirty.
She said: 'He has this Lothario image but when you see him it's not what you think.'
Viewers disappointed by the pair's discussion are in luck, however, as CBB fans will have a chance to vote one of them off the series in the first eviction, after both were nominated by their fellow housemates.
In tense scenes broadcast live on Channel 5 last night, the pair each received three nominations as housemates nominated face-to-face.
Controversial columnist Samantha Brick, who entered the house as arguably the most reviled contestant, survived the process without a single nomination.

Fall practice for both the University and Freshman lacrosse teams will start on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The regular season does not begin until spring, but several scrub games will be played. A game has been planned for October 12 between the University team and a team composed of former lacrosse stars.
The squad will be divided into four or five scrub teams and a series of games will commence on Wednesday, October 16. Silver cups will be awarded, as last year, to each member of the winning team.
Several of the best players of last year's championship team have been lost by graduation, but those who are still in College should form a nucleus for a strong team. The men who played on The University team last year and may be counted on this season are: R. Beatley '13, F. R. Churchill '13, N. B. Lincoln '13, W. J. MacKenzie '13, R. S. Simmons '13, J. W. White '13, and R. G. Wilson '14.

Suggested Cooking Chart For best results, preheat your Grilling Machine on High then turn to the suggested temperature set- ting listed below for cooking. These are recommended guidelines only, cooking times may vary. TEMPERATURE: LOW TEMPERATURE: Keep cooked foods warm, reheat pre-cooked foods MEDIUM (M) TEMPERATURE SETTING Salmon Fillet Salmon Steak (1/2 inch thick)
Grilling Hints and Tips • Use tender cuts of meat for grilling. • Marinate tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them before grilling. • To avoid drying out meat and fish, do not pierce with a utensil. • Adjust heat setting gradually and only as necessary. Cooking foods at too high a temperature can cause them to dry out.
The Double Champion Grill allows the versatilety to cook foods for a fam- ily or a party. The following recipes can be doubled to fit your needs. NOTE: For all recipes, please remember to place Drip Tray in front of the Grill to catch drippings from the cooking process.
George's Sausage Texas Style A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and scrambled eggs. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety per- cent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being saturated fat;...
George Foreman's PowerBurger A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up for it with plant-based ingredients.
Grilled Vegetables 6 slices eggplant 2 small onions 2 small tomatoes 2 small zucchini 4-6 mushrooms 8 small cloves of garlic, peeled 1/4 cup olive oil • Slice eggplants, onions, tomatoes, zucchini and mushrooms into 1/2 inch thick slices. • Preheat the Grill on High for 5 - 10 minutes.

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation Invisible Cover Foundation Reviews
Great Product!There were high ratings on this product, and I was very pleased when I tried it. Beautiful, soft coverage that honestly gives my face a glow, especially when mixed with a small amount of moisturizer (with or without though its wonderful). It's only slight problem is that I had to try blending it a few different ways before I found the right one.

My favorite!I had been recently searching for a really great foundation. My sister recommended MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 but that is pretty much all she has ever used. I tried that and liked it but I also wanted to see what else was out there. I checked my favorite make up gurus on YouTube and heard really great things about Make Up For Ever. I went to Sephora and got match and purchased it. The color match...read moreed me perfectly! My MAC shade was a bit dark but I don't know if I was just matched incorrectly. It definitely is a medium to full coverage. If I apply it lightly I have some redness in my cheeks that will still show through and if I have any blemishes they are lightly visible. However, I find that you can layer this foundation. If you let it dry or use a setting spray I like use a stipple brush on the areas that need a bit more coverage. I think this foundation would be great to use in summer because its not heavy at all. I do use a face primer before and I never had issues with the wear of it. I have not tried it without primer. I purchased it for $40 which I think everyone does, lol, which is a bit steep. However, I find that I only spend money on products I truly love and believe that no other can compete with. For me, this foundation is by favorite. I have oily/combo skin and it works well with me.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Caloric restriction group
CR group were educated by a dietitian to reduce their usual energy intake to 1400 kcal/day (-500 kcal/day, -26% from baseline) for weight reduction and the recommended macronutrient composition was the 50-55% of energy intake as carbohydrate, 15-20% as protein and 20-25% as fat. Daily energy intake and nutrient composition were determined using a computer-aided nutritional analysis program (CAN-Pro 3.0; Korean Nutrition Society, Seoul, South Korea).
Behavioral: Caloric restriction
Caloric restriction
No Intervention: Control group
Control group - ad libitum diet
Detailed Description:
Rapidly growing aging society augmented the risk of age-associated disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Dietary interventions that reduce daily energy intake, also known as caloric restriction (CR), has been shown to be the most robust intervention to extend average and maximal lifespan in various experimental animals (1). In addition, CR diminishes the risk of multiple age-associated diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some forms of cancer in rodents and primates (rhesus monkeys) (1; 2). Moreover, in obese humans, CR improves insulin sensitivity and reduces fasting glucose as well as the other components of metabolic syndrome (3). However, the exact underlying mechanism of CR has not been fully defined yet.
Recently, it is hypothesized that liver may regulate systemic energy metabolism through production of secretory proteins known as hepatokines. Fetuin-A, a circulating glycoprotein almost exclusively secreted by the liver, has been found to inhibit insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in animal studies (4). Fetuin-A knockout (KO) mice have enhanced glucose sensitivity, resistance to weight gain, and lower serum free fatty acid levels (5). In humans, high fetuin-A levels are associated with insulin resistance and fat accumulation in the liver (6). Ix et al. reported that higher human fetuin-A concentrations are strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and atherogenic lipid profile in non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (7). In addition, fetuin-A levels were associated with surrogate marker of atherosclerosis such as arterial stiffness and intima-media thickness (IMT) (8). Recent studies reported that elevated fetuin-A levels predict increased risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke (9) as well as type 2 diabetes (10). However, there has been no previous report about the effects of CR on fetuin-A comparing with changes of cardiovascular risk indicators in animals or humans.

39 weeks,.... Join me for final week(s) wait?(133 Posts)
39 weeks today! Yay!
I'm kinda ready now though. Another week (possibly more) seems like such a long time, but baby is showing no signs at all of shifting, so I guess should probably get cosy for (yet another) 2 week wait?! Anyone fancy joining me to pass the time/pass tips on 'encouraging' baby to make a timely appearance?
Or on sleeping..... As you can see I'm not managing that too well either
Morning. I am also 39 weeks today!
Also no signs but did go out for a curry last night ha ha.
DC1 arrived on the due date so I have no idea about this one.
Is it your first? Are you disappointed by the lack of any signs? I am! Although the first time I had braxton hicks last time was the night before I went into actual labour.
Hi Monday!
Yes is going to be my first - a girl according to scans
Fab that your first dc arrived on time, how very prompt was it a surprise when baby just rocked up on the day he/she was supposed to??
Yeah I guess I am a little surprised at lack of signs - I thought there would be more to be honest.... But I guess that's just how this one is supposed to be!
Have you got plans for the next week? Or I guess dc1 is keeping you busy most of the time anyway?
Bang on 39 weeks for me today too. Had 2 episodes of 'period pains' last week when I thought it was all starting (wishful thinking) but then nothing. 100% ready for the baby to arrive now. Not sleeping well at all, not that that will improve, I'm sure!
Nice to have some others on same date
Ooh nice there's a few of us on the same countdown!
I certainly did not expect DS to arrive on his due date no ha ha. As he was due mid month (like this one!) I had just told myself well anytime that month really but lo and behold 10am that day I went into labour and by 9pm he was born.
I am a little scared how quickly it could all happen this time and getting childcare sorted etc.
No major plans for next week - have a baby maybe ha! DS definitely keeps me busy
and exhausted
How about you both - any plans for next week?
No plans at all. Officially bored on maternity leave. Cleaned all cupboards out etc. DH keeps saying the house is clinically clean. Will just keep on top of it now.
Just making a raspberry leaf tea then will get on my gym ball for a bit of bouncing. I really thought I would be early but quickly losing hope of that now!
I have plans for every single day! Trying to stay as busy as possible, and invoke Sod's law that she will arrive on the most inconvenent day possible
I am 39 on Monday. Can I join in too? Few sporadic pains but I am hoping they hold off till I have recovered from this horrible stinking cold. Lots booked in for the next two weeks so I don't sit around thinking about it too much.
I'm only 37+2 (according to 12 wk scan...38+1 by my calculations lmp/date of conception etc) and it feels like forever away!!
I got myself all excited hearing of woman who didn't go past 38 wks and mws saying from 37 wks is fine but this little guy is showing ZERO signs of wanting to move any time soon...or maybe he is and I just don't know it lol this is my first!
Definitely having this lack of sleep issue, I can't get comfy to save my life I so miss sleeping on my stomach. If I lay on one side too long I promptly get a kick in the ribs and have to turn over again .
I felt like the first 35 wks just flew by but since then time has seriously slowed down, I completely empathise with your impatience at 39 wks! I plan to keep incredibly busy (well as busy as my awful pelvis will allow anyways) that way I figure either the activity will help speed things along or maybe he'll just decide to make an appearance just to interfere with plans (hopefully ones that involve the in laws ). Or at the very least perhaps keeping busy will help the time stop passing so slow!
Hopefully you'll not have to wait too much longer, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you ladies, it won't be long and we'll all have happy news to share xx
Completely agree with the 35 weeks going quickly! And now time is standing still. Miss sleeping on my front so much too. Seriously don't know what I would have done without my pregnancy pillow.
Managed a half decent sleep last night for a change. Going out with the dogs and DH in a while to try and get something going. Then back on the ball for the day!
Genetics- ooh pains are exciting! Are you jumping at every twinge like I am?
Chilli - I did the same, got all excited at 37 weeks thinking 'any day now' and I'm slowly realising it's just not going to happen. She will be late. Doesn't help that the messages ever single morning of 'any sign yet' have been going for a week now!
Unfortunately I have felt like every day of this pregnancy has been the longest ever - had a bit of a rocky start - so the whole way has literally been jumping milestone to milestone. Time dragging is nothing new, but can't wait til she here safe.
Just off to the shops for supplies of curry, pineapple, and whatever else I can find that may get things started!
aww good luck to you both its hard to belive i was you 2 not long ago my lil boy is now 1 week old tomorrow time went so quick he was born at 40+2 enjoy ladies wont be long
ibelieveinpink yes I am. Had three contractions the other evening but then they stopped. My friend who has had 4 gave me some very sage advise which I am sticking to... If you think labour is starting go to bed and get some sleep, it will either stop if the baby is just mucking around, if not at least you will have had a half hour nap.
I am just concentrating on the fact that the baby will definitely be here in 3 weeks time. Seems less stressful like that.
Hello hello! I am 39 weeks exactly today too. May I join please? Congrats Princess, just read your birth story! Wow. Hoping this one ( my second) makes a more relaxed ( but timely!) appearance... Dd1 was 10 days overdue. Good luck to all and let's hope things get moving soon. Don't want to have to wait til the full moon on the 17th ;)
Little one - that's funny you mention the full moon - that's what my mum said too!
Any signs from anyone? I had a few cramps about an hour ago - hardly even progressed to more than a twinge so I'm guessing nothing. I really reckon it's going to be sometime mid next week - I wonder how accurate just going on instinct on this? Hmm
Had a lot of twinges last night. Really thought something was going to happen but it all eased off by the end of downton abbey! Nothing today over than 2 piercing pains in my pubic bone about an hour ago which nearly made me yell. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for weds as my lucky number is 13. Anyone else?
I was due on Sunday so I'm 40+2 today and still no sign!! Had a few regular pains for 2 days last week I thought yes this us it!! but then nothing, keep getting the odd pain here and there have tried all the old wives tales but this baby is staying put!! Really hope it happens soon I've loved been preggo and don't want to start hating it!!! really don't want to be induced so still thing everything!!
I feel same as you jpy. Just been to my midwife appointment. All looks as it should, just want something to happen now. She just told me to keep bouncing on my ball! Fingers crossed for us all. Really want to avoid a sweep and definitely being induced.
Glad everything is looking good! It's nice to know/think baby is getting ready! Yeah sweep doesn't sound to good i am back again on Thursday and that's the plan if baby hasn't come by then! I've been bouncing on my ball too especially if I get Any twinges for some reason if I get a pain I bounce like mad convinced its going to happen!! I know ill regret saying it but I'm starting to get bored! Everything is ready and I've got nothing left to do feels like a bit of a waiting game,just trying to keep myself busy while hubby is at work!
That's exactly how I feel. Bored! We live away from family and friends so don't have anyone to visit/meet etc apart from a few ladies, and they all work. It's getting tedious. Going to bake this afternoon to pass the time. But then I'll just get fatter from eating cake!
Is this your first baby? I have no idea what I'm looking out for pain wise. Although I'm sure I'll know once the time comes!
Yeah this is my first! Guessing it is yours too!! I know what you mean about the pains and stuff I'm the same but everyone just says you will know! I've done all my 'catching up' with friends and getting jobs done and stocked up on everything just incase the baby came early but now I'm sort of at a loose end not wanting to go too far just incase!! Atleast that by the end of next week I will hopefully have a baby!!!
Hi ladies. No movement here either! Just had midwife appointment- she is now 3/5 engaged, more than last time but not really enough yet is it! Booked in for a sweep next week - hopefully won't get to that but I suspect I will.
I know what you mean about not wanting to hate it. I have loved everything from 20 week scan onwards (was very worried early on due to previous miscarriages) so want all the happy memories to carry on. Come on babies!!!
I d
Whoops, posted too soon. I don't actually remember what labour felt like last time ( despite it being only 18 months ago) but my first was back to back so it was mainly
horrendous back pain. Apparently normal labour is more along the bump and period- like pains so it's sort if all new to me too. No twinges or anything yet though. Sigh. Off to the cinema now, hoping my waters don't break and I ruin the seat. Actually what do I care as long as things get started ;)
Pink, mine is only 3/5 too. Midwife said any level of engagement is fine as long as the head's not moving round?! More than last time anyway.
Ah well, we all sound like we're in the dark with what we're looking out for. Nature needs to get a wriggle on!
