Dr. Bragg's research focuses on the characterization of light-driven chemical dynamics and material behaviors. A common thread throughout his research is the use of ultrafast spectroscopic techniques to observe processes that occur on timescales shorter than 10-13 s (timescales of atomic and molecular motions). These techniques are used to determine fundamental structure-dynamics relationships that underlie molecular and material responses to excitation with light.
Specific research topics of interest include:
1) Properties and dynamics of excited conjugated materials. Conjugated materials have received considerable attention for use in flexible optoelectronics (e.g. LEDs and solar cells). The goal of our work is to determine what structural attributes at the molecular level (e.g. conformations and intermolecular interactions) define or control the properties and dynamics of photoexcitations within these materials.
2) Light-driven or switchable bond formation and isomerization. These processes offer means for converting light energy to mechanical or chemical energy or to reversibly alter the photophysical properties of materials. In our work we directly interrogate the relaxation mechanisms associated with these processes in order to determine structure-dynamics relationships that could form principles for design or optimization of photoswitchable materials.
3) Photodynamics of plasmonic metal nanoparticles and assemblies. Plasmonic materials have promise for concentrating electric fields of light and for pan-chromatic absorption of light energy. The goal of our work is to determine how the architecture of these nanomaterials determines their photoresponses and potential for light collection or harvesting for optical and chemical processes.
In all work his group is further developing applications of photo-selective ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopies. Please read more about this research on the Bragg Lab group website!

Young adult romance Speechless by Hannah Harrington features a main character who learns a lesson after observing the consequences of gossiping about a fellow classmate's private situation.
Good story timing, because not only is it National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month, but Harlequin Teen and the Jed Foundation's Love is Louder program today released a survey about teen bullying that shows most women 16 to 24 years old say they've been bullied. They also say that the problem is worse than adults might think.
"Bullying is a longtime cultural epidemic in our schools, and I am both pleased and proud to be connected to any movement that seeks to spotlight this issue," says Hannah. "Anything that brings awareness to bullying is a good thing, since the first step to solving the problem is talking about it. I try to write about subjects that teenagers face in their real lives and as the survey shows, bullying is without a doubt something that affects teen girls everywhere. If Speechless can get even one person to think about bullying differently, I could not be happier."
Speechless includes a readers guide designed to promote conversation about bullying and the effects of careless words and actions.
Harlequin's Teen imprint partnered with Love is Louder to conduct the survey. Love is Louder, a program that offers support to teens and young adults who feel they've been bullied, was created by the Jed Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at preventing suicide among college students.
Other bullet points from the survey:
— 69% of teen and young women say they do not bully others, yet more than 30% engage in behaviors deemed as bullying, such as gossiping, name-calling and teasing.
— 87% are bullied in person, while only 14% say bullying occurs online.
— 35% of teens turn to books and reading to cope with bullying, while 30% turn to physical activity.

It's an art to write good website content but it's something that needs to be seriously considered by all website owners. This is going to be your main way or marketing your business and you need to think about how you can make the most out of your website with your content. Most website owners look at the graphics first but not the usability of the website or the SEO optimization. Even less owners look at the actual content of the website. You need content that is going to convert you sales and customers so it's critical.
Before you write your content consider:
· The needs of customers and their interests
· Why do they buy your products or services?
· Targeted keywords – Which ones bring the most leads or visitors to the website?
· What is the intent of the content? Do you want to sell or inform?
Focus on the Customer's Needs
There are many reasons why these points are important. You need to focus on the needs of your customers first of all. You need to provide value on your website for your customers that meet their needs. They need to know how your services or products are going to make their lives better. Try to focus on the benefits of your products or services not the features of them. If you describe the benefits you connect your content to the needs of your customers and they will have reasons to buy what you're offering.
You need to focus on the customers and not you. Write about the needs of customers, their thoughts, emotions, and needs, it's not about your company. Always focus on your customers when you write your content.
Another moment here is to focus on your customers, not you. You need to write about the customers, their needs, thoughts and emotions, not your product or your company. No matter how well you may write, you need to focus on your customers in your content.
Target the Right Keywords
Make sure you use the right words when writing your content and this comes down to the keywords that you choose. You'll need to research these words so you know how your customers relate and think about your product. As you write you're content you'll know which words are going to work well.
Right Tone
The tone of your content is also another important factor. To do this you need to know how you want to position your company, what you have to offer, and how well you know your customers. You might just want to inform your customers or have them do something. You need to fit the tone into your content so it's pleasant and compelling for customers to read.
How You Should Write
Be sure you focus on what benefits your products and services have for your customers so they buy. Emphasise with your customers and with clients and think like they do. Show them through your writing how you can help them.
You need to write naturally like its casual conversation with friends interested in your services or products. Once you have your copy written you can add in the keywords that are relevant. Replace "he, she, it" with descriptive words and use synonyms. You want to sound natural but still have keywords in your content too. You might want to stick with just a couple of synonyms and target just a couple of SEO phrases in the content.
The tone of the content can also make a big difference. If you just want to inform people then you can have a more informal tone with humor to break the mood. If you want formal information then you can go for that type of a tone and be more reserved.
Add your personality to and informal writing with some humor as this can work wonders. This is like people talk in real life and people may be able to relate to your content and you easily.
Be sure no matter what you write that you provide value to your users. The content is what will provide the best experience for your visitors and get them in the mood to buy from you or visit your website again.

|The Grazing Impact of Microherbivores on Algal Growth in Exposed and Sheltered Coral Reef Habitats
|Altman-Kurosaki, Noam
|Pacala, Stephen
|Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
|Class Year:
|Algal turfs are rapid colonizers of space on a reef, providing competition for space with coral recruits and often overgrowing healthy corals. Algal turf abundance is largely determined 1) nutrient uptake, which can be increased with flow, and 2) herbivory. Previous studies have highlighted the importance and impact of herbivorous fish on limiting algal turf biomass, but have minimized the impact of microherbivores. The results of these studies have caused many to ignore the grazing impact of microherbivores. Others have emphasized the necessity of more research, acknowledging the dearth of information in this area. This study sought to remedy this oversight by examining the impact of microherbivores in areas of high and low wave exposure, while also plotting out the algal growth curve – something that had yet to be done – in both site types. Experimental tiles were placed in exclusion cages at two exposed sites and two sheltered sites on Uelchelbeluu Reef, Palau, allowing the partitioning of the grazing impacts of microherbivores while examining the role of flow in algal growth. Microherbivores consumed algal turf growth more in exposed sites than sheltered sites but their impact was likely dampened by the cages in which the algae tiles were placed, as cages were found to reduce the abundance of microherbivores in all sites. Of the microherbivores, only diogenid hermit crabs were more abundant at exposed sites. Surprisingly, flow did not affect turf growth rate or the maximum growth of the turf. These results suggest microherbivores, especially hermit crabs, are more important than they have previously been given credit for, and that their role should not be ignored moving forward.

The other day when I was considering buying a used car, I needed an expert opinion from an auto mechanic.
I did what any City Islander would probably do - I drove over to the only garage on the island and asked the mechanic to take a quick look at the vehicle. What a mistake i made. He immediately refused, started yelling, and flailing his arms.
Later, an old friend explained that it is in his DNA to act up like this. He said his father was even a worse grouch than his son is. So, I accepted this explanation and went on the Internet to search for a AAA garage.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a highly recommended and certified mechanic, which is a AAA approved auto repair station and more than willing to look over the vehicle to render a professional assessment.
i was treated with respect, courtesy and the job was done in a professional manner. Their mechanic was not only a true gentleman, he did not even charge me for his expert opinion.
As my mom would often say to me, everything happens for a reason.
That auto garage has certified mechanics and is located in New Rochelle:
C&C Auto Repair
92 Rockdale Ave
New Rochelle, NY 10801

I am not a great fan of Foie Gras but when you are in Périgord southwestern region of France famous for its duck and goose products, such specialty is a must try. They can be eaten either hot or cold and come in either whole (foie gras entier) cooked or semi cooked. Raw Foie Gras can be sauteed or pan-seared and is a great on Poilâne-style sourdough bread or sweet breads for those who likes the sweet and salty combination. Another traditional dish originally from Gascony home to France most delightful cuisine is the savoury Confit de Canard or preserved leg of a duck cooked in its own fat and usually served with green salad and sauteed potatoes in olive oil – one of my favourites !

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by Cesc Fabregas, Apr 19, 2009.
Who do you think is the best returner in the mens game?
The title of this thread is by all means wrong.
Best aggressive returner I'd say Nalbandian.
Best defensive returner I'd say Federer (even though today his returns are crap, but overall in his career he's the best defensive one).
Yeah just noticed sorry about that.
Federer was the master of blocking back big serves then he realised he needed to do more against Nadal and it has sort of messed up his return game.
I think a part of it might be his age. Sounds funny I know, but his instincts aren't as sharp as in the past.
Murray. I think he's been the best returner for a few years now, but Rafa's return games won on clay put him top stats wise for a couple of years (less about quality of return on clay). Murray now leads the tour on return stats, I believe.
Even when he finished the year outside the top 15 in 2006, he finished 3rd in return statistics.
I'd say Murray. Nalbandian can be the best returner when he's on, but as we all know that doesn't happen that much. Federer is probably the best returner of a certain type of serve (ala Roddick) but with his shaky backhand we can't count him in at the moment. If we only take into account defense we should throw Ferrer in too.
Federer.. without doubt..
Murray, Nalbandian can be great but far too inconsistent.
Nalbandian is best when he is on!Within the others ill say that Nadal and Djokovic are best returners...
isnt this an aggresive service return poll?
maybe im misunderstanding, i was thinking it means hits aggressive winners on opponents serves.
Either Nadal is way ahead of everyone or Federer has the worst serve in the top 100, judging from their last match.
4 words:
An Dee Murr Ray
murray at times nalbandian but his game is inconsistent
Mr. buttpicker.
I'm shocked that people think Nadal returns better than Nalbandian! This has got be a joke! No way in hell does Nadal have a better return, just no!
Ferrer's return game last year was pretty incredible when it came to stats.
I also think Murray has probably the best return right now, followed by Ferrer and Nalbandian. Nadal may have the best returning *game* judging by last year's return statistics. By the way I can't find the serve statistics anymore on the ATP site, anyone knows if they are still there?
Why not? It's more consistent. The fat Nalby may have the best return when he was on, but that's like once in a blue moon. :???:
Nadal is a great returner? Since when? Hmmm....
Why without doubt? Murray consistently breaks Karlovic and Roddick. Murray has broken Karlovic something like 7 times in the last 2 (total of 5 sets) matches they played. Players rarely get through a set against Murray without being broken.
Statistically Nadal has the best return...
I'de say Nalbandian though.
Murray is statistically the best this year. However, Nadal's stats are boosted by the clay. He breaks a hell of a lot on the clay, and we know that returns really are nowhere near as relevant on the dirt.
His returns aren't spectacular, particularly his return of 2nd serve. His ground game is just that much better than everybody else's that he'll have the advantage in any neutral rally. Hence, he has extremely percentage of points won on return and on second serve.
My vote goes to Davydenko. He is very solid and can be aggressive when the moment is right. Nalbandian is a good returner if you want to watch a highlight reel. Federer is a good returner if you say so and don't care about the actual outcome of the point.
The best versatile returner is Murray. Djokovic is great as well.
Murray right now I think is best and is going to get better.
i like the way davy takes the ball on the short hop and attacks with that off the serve... meakes him a really mean serve returner
i think people are talking bout agressivly attacking the serve, which nadal doesnt do very well.
murray, davy, nalby, even jmdp and fed are strong when it comes to attacking a first serve
Federer has broken Karlovic a couple of times too.. and Roddick.. well, no need to explain that Federer has broken Roddick a lot of times.
I'm not saying that Murray is far behind or something by the way, he is not. I am quite impressed by Murray's and Nadal's returning game. But there is no doubt in my mind that Federer is the best returner. Although I must add that you can have different opinions on what "the best sort of returning game" is. Is it meant aggressive for example? Is it meant as who breaks the most often? Is it meant as who who creates the most opportunities? Is it meant as who gets the most balls back? No clear definition I think..
For me it is Federer because he can do what he wants with practically every serve. People say Federer only pushes the balls back, but e can hit winners if he wants to. He just chooses to bring them into play because that is high percentage. But if he were to face an aggressive S&V'er he can just as easily hit winners, although in the early days he chose to give the server a very difficult first volley an then pass him. Before Federer came along, i was most impressed by Agassi's return, hitting a lot of winners. Now I'm most impressed by Federer's return because it pays of more and he has so much control, more than I have ever seen. (I've been watching tennis since 1989/1990 or so)
That's my view on it anyway.. probably not a lot of people will agree..
Since hewitt isnt on the list, nalbandian
Murray gets my vote
there is a difference between the best return of serve and the best returner, the best return of serve is one shot (the return) and i would say andy murray has the best return of serve, but the best returner statistically is nadal, he wins the highest percentage of return games so its hard to make an argument that anybody else is a better overall returner...
building on that, nadals return of serve itself is not flashy nor agressive, but its damn effective, hes gets the ball back and gets it back deep, and usually for him thats all he needs to get himself in position to win a point.....so even if it doesnt looks the prettiest its better than being over agressive and committing a large number of unforced errors when going for return winners
Federer generally goes to a tiebreak with Karlovic. Murray breaks Karlovic something like 30-40% of the time. I think he broke Karlovic in 40% of the return games in Cinci. Federer breaks Roddick a lot too, but I think Murray breaks him a lot more. We tend to see 6-1 and 6-2 sets when Murray plays Roddick.
Murray has the best return stats this year, not Nadal. And Nadal's stats are boosted by his clay prowess. Return of serve is a non-factor on clay.
he does this year your right i just looked at them, that will change on clay and it absolutely matters, watch nadal play, he consistantly puts returns within a couple feet of the base line and from then on hes in command of the point, its a huge factor, look at the great clay players/specialists, nadal, monaco, ferrer, they all have great return statistics
Fed is good at blocking a first serve, not attacking a first serve...
Murray in my opinion. He works his way into return games.
Of course they have great return statistics. Clay reduces the need for a good serve. 90% of serves are going to get returned because the surface takes all the pace out of the ball. That's what I mean when I say that return of serve is not really relevant. It's not something you can judge on clay, since returning first serves on clay is like returning a second serve on hard a lot of the time.
From which site did you get the return stats from? I only knew Murray was ahead on return stats based on what has said in television coverage. Wouldn't mind looking at the stats, though.
Andy Murray.
the stats im referring too are for calendar year 2009, not including monte carlo, so its really based on hard courts...
Murray, Hewitt and Nalbandian are better than any returner from the 90s imo
I tend to agree. Agassi is stil a great returner but IMO overrated for the main reason he is too prone to getting aced, and I am not just talking about vs Sampras or Ivanisevic.
If it were a "non-factor," then the server would have no advantage on clay. Yet the server on clay still holds serve anywhere between 70 and 75 percent of the time, so clearly it still has a big advantage, so clearly your ability to return serve is still crucial if you hope to break serve, even on clay. Of course the serve is not *as big* a factor as on faster surfaces, where servers generally hold serve closer to 80 percent of the time, or even higher, but it is still a very significant factor even on clay, and therefore the return of serve cannot be a "non-factor".
In addition to not being a "non-factor," the notion that his return results are heavily "inflated" by clay is untenable for the simple reason that he only plays about 26% of his matches on clay (25 matches out of a total of 93 in 2008, by my counting).
In addition to that, everybody breaks serve more often on clay than on faster surfaces, that's why the average break of serve statistics are higher on clay by a few percentage points, so by that account everybody's return statistics would also inflated by clay if they play on clay.
Nadal breaks more often than the rest of the field on clay. But he also breaks more often than others on all the other surfaces. He simply has to, in order to win. Especially because his own serve is not as big a weapon as many of the others top players.
it's still double a, andre agassi to me... though, i saw hewitt's during his prime
agassi was great at putting the server on defense when he hit it. but he got aced so much it was ridiculous. right now its nadal. murray is closing in on that stat as he is a very smart returner and very good at placing the return. both of them are great returners as well because of there speed. they get the ball back and get back into position faster than the rest of the field.
it has to be andy murray. he can read serves, especially federer's which is tough to read, pretty well.
Nadal is a very good returner. He is very tough to get the ball past with the serve, he gets so many returns in play, he gets them either deep or with the right amount of spin or pace, what is best for a particular point in match or opponent. People seem to think the only thing that matters about the return of serve is attacking the 2nd set consistently. Hence why so many think Agassi is the best returner ever even when he gets aced 50 times a match by big servers.
I exaggerated when I said that it's a non-factor. It's a minor factor. I'd like to know where you pulled some of those figures from. The server holds 70% of the time? That's actually pretty low, but I'd like to know where you got that figure from, since I get the feeling you pulled it from your ass.
Of course his return stats are inflated by the clay season. He breaks a hell of a lot based on his baseline game, not his return of serve. Yes, it's the same for every player, but he is the best player from the baseline on a clay court. He is going to break more often because of that fact, not because he has a supreme return of serve. Why do you think Murray gets better return stats on a hard court than Nadal? We can agree that they are pretty even on a hard court, yet Murray does better on return. How do you explain that if clay doesn't inflate his stats?
Murray is second on points won returning first serve (Juan Monaco is first, having played fewer matches at a lower level and on clay), whereas Nadal is 8th. Murray is first on points won returning second serve and in return games won. Murray wins 41% of his return games and Nadal, at second, wins 35% of his. That's a huge gap between first and second. It's pretty clear who the better returner is.
Murray is way ahead of everyone else on return stats this season, actually.

Pre Med 101 – Know What You Need to Get Into Medical School
5 million, 100 thousand. The annual salary of a physician? The cost of medical school? Nope. It's the total number of posts in a popular pre med forum. I don't know about you, but when you are studying for the MCAT, trying to ace every exam, and squeezing every last second into volunteering, you DO NOT have that much time left over to search for answers. That's why we have given you this reliable, up-to-date source of pre med information.
We want to help develop informed, confident and prepared pre med students. With our single site resource of all the pre med resources you need, we hope to save you time, frustration and even some money.
Please share this with your friends – and even your family and all the answers they will ask you will be answered.
High School Years
The thoughts of becoming a physician and starting your premed career can begin long before you start college. Early exposure to the medical field usually spurs interest in high school students. No matter how you decided to start your path to becoming a physician, most of the steps to graduating medical school are the same.
When still in high school, you can start to build your experiences to help you do many things:
- Do you want to go to medical school? The path to medical school is LONG and challenging. The sooner you can figure out if you are ready and willing to take the leap, the better you will be.
- Build a strong resume of volunteering and other unique life experiences to help set you apart from your peers.
AP Credit for Medical School
The question that always comes up – "Do medical schools accept Advanced Placement (AP) credit?" Unfortunately it is not an easy answer. Some medical schools accept AP credit. Many will not accept AP credit to satisfy pre med admissions requirements. Even if the medical school you are interested in applying to accepts AP credit, you will be a stronger applicant if you take the college course and ignore the AP credit. It is generally accepted that a college level course is more challenging than a high school AP course and better predicts your ability to be successful in medical school classes. Also, even if you have already received AP credit in high school and the medical school accepts the AP credit, repeating the course in college will be good for your MCAT prep.
Choosing a Pre Med School
The first anxiety provoking decision when it comes to your pre med path is choosing what pre med school you should go to. If you google "best premed schools" you come up with over 2 million sites that claim to give you a top 10 list and the latest and greatest pre med school that is guaranteed to get you into medical school. Check out our article about pre med schools HERE.
It does not matter what pre med school you attend to get your undergraduate training. Again, it DOES NOT matter if you go to the best pre med school or not. The only thing that matters is that you are in an environment that YOU can be successful in. You may think it is hard to believe that it doesn't matter, but once you are in medical school and see the vast diversity of your classmates you will agree that it does not matter if you went to Harvard or a small liberal arts college.[Pros and Cons of Liberal Arts colleges for the premed]
The simple recipe to get into medical school:
- Get great grades in your pre-req classes
- Have a solid plan for your MCAT prep and get a competitive score
- Give yourself plenty of time for extraordinary volunteering experiences
Medical School Prerequisites at Community College
Similar to the discussion of AP credit in high school, taking community college courses for your pre med requirements can be a risky proposition. Every medical school has its own policies on accepting community college credit. You do not want to be left worried about squeezing in one more class prior to graduating to get your prerequisites for medical school met. This is another situation where you should call around to each medical school you want to attend and find out what their policy is on accepting community college credits.
College Years
Picking the Best Pre Med Major
If I told you that there are only 2 majors that you can major in for medical school, biology and chemistry, what would you say? Lucky for you, I would be lying. Why suffer through physical and biological science majors when only 63% of students accepted to medical school have those types of majors?
So what is the best major for medical school? We covered that question HERE.
Is there a "Pre Med Major?"
Many people quickly state that there is no such thing as a pre med major. This would be inaccurate. While most schools don't offer a specific pre med major, there are some colleges and universities that do offer pre med as a major. As we already stated, it doesn't matter what you major in, so finding a college that offers pre med as a major is not important.
When do you Need to Get an Advisor, study for the MCAT and more questions about the timeline
The pre med process should go off like a well choreographed dance. Unfortunately it typically is more like a waltz performed with someone with two left feet. Having a plan, and following that plan is essential. We put together a pretty comprehensive Timeline for Medical School to help you create that plan. Here you will learn when you should be talking to your pre med advisor, getting involved with volunteering, and preparing for the MCAT.
Pre Med Advisors
Along with our timeline, the other invaluable resource will be your Pre-Health Advisor. Just remember that a lot of their advice is generalized and you must take the time to do your own homework to validate some of the advice.
A very important aspect of your application is your volunteer experience. You need to take your time and find worthwhile, enjoyable opportunities that you can spend quality time with. One solid, quality experience that spans several months or more is much more valuable than several one-day volunteering gigs that you do just to fluff up your application. Remember that during your medical school interview, you will discuss many of these volunteering experiences. A memorable volunteering opportunity will show as you talk and your interviewer will be able to see how much it meant to you.
The MCAT
The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is the test that can make or break you. With roughly 25 test dates a year, the MCAT challenges your core knowledge of the classes that medical schools require. MCAT prep can be a second full-time job, after being a full-time student, which is why you need a solid plan when preparing for it. When you are ready, check out the 2014 MCAT test dates and register for the MCAT. Also take a look at the NEW MCAT2015.
MCAT Score
A MCAT Score of 30 or greater gives you a 70% chance of getting into medical school. This does not take into account your GPA, so if you follow the source link you can see what your chances would be when you factor in your GPA. Check out more information about your MCAT score HERE.
MCAT Prep
The MCAT is the gate keeper to medical school. Score well and your chances are much better to get into medical school. Do poorly and you will be struggling to get your foot in the door. Online MCAT Courses, one-on-one private tutoring and self-studying are just a few ways to prepare for the MCAT. We covered many of the ways to prepare for the MCAT HERE. We also have a page showing everything that Kaplan has to offer for the MCAT.
Choosing a Medical School
After you rock the MCAT, it is time to start narrowing down your choices of medical schools to apply to. Every year there are more medical schools opening their doors and getting accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
Every year with the release of the US News Best Medical Schools report, thousands of pre med students update their application and the list of medical schools that they will submit their primary AMCAS application to. Unfortunately this medical school rankings report is a flawed system. We are working on a system to help improve this!
Caribbean Medical Schools
Sometimes, even with the best effort and all the best planning, getting into a US Medical School is not going to happen. While many look negatively upon Caribbean Medical Schools, they are a viable option that can produce good physicians. As a graduate of a Caribbean Medical School, you are considered a Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG), which does put you at a disadvantage when applying to a residency program. Remember, it's not the name of the medical school that creates a good physician, it's the effort that each student puts in that forms the solid foundation of tomorrows physicians. There are some very important things to know when applying to Caribbean Medical Schools, so we discussed a lot of those HERE.
Applying to Medical School
Primary Medical School Applications
Medical school applications are one of first necessary evils in the pre med process. The AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service), AACOMAS (American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service) and the TMDSAS (Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service) are the three main medical school application services in the U.S.
They all can be very intimidating. We have a great AMCAS application guide and are working on the others.
Medical School Personal Statements
Your medical school personal statement is the first personal statement of many. The AMCAS, AACOMAS and TMDSAS all require a personal statement to be submitted with the primary application. Many secondary medical school applications also require another essay to be included. After medical school you will need personal statements for your residency applications as well.
The one key thing to remember is that personal statements are exactly that, personal. The moment you start writing your personal statement for the admissions committees is the moment it is no longer personal.
Secondary Medical School Applications
After you submit your AMCAS, AACOMAS or TMDSAS applications you will start receiving secondary medical school applications in the mail. These secondary applications are another level of filtering for medical schools when they rank their applicants. For many medical schools, every applicant who submits a primary application will get a secondary application. This benefits the schools in many ways. The first benefit is money. Secondary applications cost money to submit. The cost of secondary applications is anywhere from $40 to $120 or more. The second benefit is that reduces some of the burden of sifting through applications because not everybody will return a secondary application.
The Medical School Interview
The primary medical school applications is submitted, secondaries are complete and paid for and now you start getting requests for interviews. This is the first moment of elation during the whole process because now you know a medical school is actually considering accepting you. You are one step closer to being a doctor. Then you realize that the medical school interview is another hurdle that separates the strong all-around candidates vs the socially awkward introverts. Remember, medical schools want a student that can not only properly diagnose a patient, but also communicate with the patient. Preparing for the medical school interview is just as important as preparing for the MCAT. We put together 10 solid medical school interview tips to help give you a head start. Here is a list of the 10 common questions you'll get during the medical school interview.
Along with the basic medical school interview tips, Caribbean medical schools have some different interview nuances. We also have come tips when going for your caribbean medical school interviews.
Medical School Tuition
Medical school tuition varies greatly with each state and each school. State schools will almost always cost less than private medical school tuition. Medical school tuition starts around $15,000 for most in-state residents. Of course there is also the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences School of Medicine if you want to go to medical school for free. Non-resident medical school tuition can be upwards of $60,000. Remember, this doesn't include books, fees and living expenses. Medical school costs can add up quickly, with the average debt of graduating medical students in 2011 was $161,290 according to the American Medical Association (AMA).
Medical School Scholarships
As you can see, the average debt of medical students is quite large. Add interest and you will payback almost a quarter of a million dollars! Medical school scholarships can help you defer some of that cost. There are many sources of money for medical school scholarships and finding all of those sources can be overwhelming. We give you some good information on medical school scholarships here.

Teaching Our Daughters About Relationships Parenting
I remember my mother explaining to me the sort of man I should marry. "Leslie," she said when I was around 12 years old and only just starting to look at boys curiously, "The sort of man that is good for marriage is one that has plants in his apartment, can't dance well, and wears tassel shoes."
On Raising The Future, Or The Future Raising Me Parenting
I found out a few months ago that my daughter identifies herself as bisexual, or more specifically, pansexual, but I had to look that up because I really don't understand the difference. This information was secondary to the suicide threats and other information that flooded the front of the queue of New Things I'm Learning About My Daughter.
The beautiful thing about learning So Many New Things About My Daughter was that I could sit down with her at the table that day, iPad in hand, and look her in the eyes, all of her secrets now in my own mind and heart and still on the device between my hands and honestly tell her, "I've read everything you've said over the last few months and there is nothing here that makes me not love you. Now. Can we talk openly? Because I'm here and I'm not going anywhere and you're not in trouble at all." Continue...
Animal Meditations Balance
My son and I started this bedtime meditation together when he was in third grade.
It was a day he said the whole class got in trouble. Apparently some of the boys were playing with the soap in the bathroom. My son is sensitive, and being the kid who hates to piss of anyone, felt targeted by this lecture. (Apples and Trees, y'all.) He said his teacher was angry and looking right at him but then, my young son explained in air quotes, "chuckled" and was a little nicer.
This interaction seemed small to me but I don't dismiss his anxiety. As an adult I can see his teacher, a nice, gentle man, suddenly hearing himself lecture seven year olds about playing with the soap in the bathroom. That silly reality probably made him soften and suppress a chuckle. As an adult, and a parent, I understand suddenly hearing the ironic things that come out of your mouth as you yell at your children to stop yelling or please, jesus, don't bite the dog. Continue...

You promised I could skip school and you're always lying!" It took me a minute to recover. I most certainly was not always lying but to explain this to him right now wasn't going to get us any closer to him putting on his shoes. That I never 'promised' him he could skip school this particular day, wasn't a discussion point, either. The facts of what I had said, the truth, was we discussed a time we may be traveling and, like the friends he's so jealous of who get to miss school because they have a plane to catch, we would likely have that experience one day, too. But that was not what he wanted to hear or what he remembered that foggy, dark morning thirty minutes before the first school bell. Continue...

As the mountain bike continues to evolve, we take the best of the new technologies and apply the unique experience of CUBE's engineering team to create something special. The result, in this case, is the Stereo Hybrid HPA 120 Race 27.5+. It's a bike that blends powerful Bosch e-bike technology with the smooth rolling of 27.5+ wheel to create a versatile all-rounder. Mountain biking has never been this much fun.
Features: An e-MTB is only as good as its power unit, which is why we opted for Bosch's peerless CX system. With up to 75Nm of torque on tap and a 500Wh battery for hours of stress-free riding, there's simply no better option. Tough, light, grippy and comfortable Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres in a width of 2.8in ensure that no trail is too tough, while we specced a custom combination of Magura MT5 and MT4 hydraulic discs so that you're always in control. A blend of Shimano's reliable, smooth-shifting SLX and XT transmission components mean that the right gear is only ever a click away, and a Fox Float rear shock and Suntour Raidon fork keep both wheels planted firmly on the trail.

It is highly customisable, on this build we have used custom posts and menus, as well as incorporating a scrolling jquery based home page.
This site also incorporates a lot of the latest css3 techniques. For the non technical out there this allows for rapid loading of attractive sites. The graphics are rendered by the browser rather than loading images, which makes for faster page loading times. This is becoming increasingly important as Google now considers page speed in it search algorithms.

WordPress has developed significantly form its origins as a blogging platfrom and can now genuinely be considered as a fully functional content management solution. It won the 2009 Open Source CMS Award which shows the esteem with which it is regarded within the community.
The key to good search engine optimisation and getting your site to perform well in the searches you wish to target is content. The more relevant content you have the better. WordPress allows the user to rapidly add new content to their site. We have been experimenting with is utilising php and CSS3 to enhance the power of wordpress when it comes to search engine optimisation. In our recent redesign of the Richard Price photography website we implemented this strategy to the full.
The brief was to keep the site image driven but to add a large amount of content in each page so as to be highly ranked by search engines. Also we wanted to avoid flash as it is not supported on the Apple ipad.
We used the excellent featured content gallery on the front page, which allows you a slideshow of images, but in contrast to a flash based gallery each image comes with selected text which can be trageted to search terms. For the galleries inside the site we used jalbum, which provides an excellent javascript based gallery solution.
In order to add more relevant content to each page we also used php to pull related posts onto each page. Thus if the user is in the wedding section, recent wedding posts are also shwon at the bottom of the page. Although these appear as images, when the user moves their mouse over them an excerpt of the post is revealed by the CSS. This content is also indexed by the search engines and because it changes all the time the search engines find new content each time they visit, which also helps the site's ranking.
Other features of wordpress that we utilised are the new custom menu feature, which allows different custom menus to be shown depending upon the type of page the user is on. This can be very useful in large sites and helps to keep the navigation simple and uncluttered.
Take a look at the site to get a feel for all the features that we can offer to our clients by using a wordpress based content management system website.

E-commerce made easy
As part of our continuing commitment to our customers we often have to address new issues as technology changes. With the introduction of the ipad, our client had become worried that his existing flash-based galleries were not visible on this device and so would make his content unavailable to a large number of internet users.
We suggested using jalbum to create new javascript based galleries, which work on the ipad. This also had the advantage that we could integrate a paypal based custom shopping cart into the pages. This allows customers to order prints directly from the site, with different options for each image.
When an order is placed the retailer can identify what has been ordered by an unique code which identifies each product. Multiple orders are possible as well as many options for individual customisation.

Hotel at a Glance: Holiday Inn & Suites Downtown Chicago
Winner of a 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, the Holiday Inn & Suites Downtown Chicago sits on the edge of Chicago's Loop. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and a quick cab ride from Millennium Park and museums. Greektown's restaurants and the University of Illinois at Chicago are right around the corner.
- Sunny's Bar and Grill: The onsite restaurant serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Fitness center: Work off some deep-dish pizza.
- Driving time to The Art Institute of Chicago: 5 minutes
Chicago's Loop: Historic Commercial Center with World-Class Museums and Parks
Named after the shape formed by the elevated train tracks that form its perimeter, The Loop is Chicago's downtown and the country's second-largest business district. Skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and the art-deco Chicago Board of Trade Building loom large here. They overlook waterfront parks, a glitzy theater district, and some of the world's finest art collections.
About 1.5 miles from the hotel is the Art Institute of Chicago, whose gargantuan collection covers everything from marble busts and sarcophagi to modern masterpieces such as Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and Grant Wood's American Gothic. You don't even have to go to the museum to see outstanding art—walk around The Loop, and you'll see outdoor sculptures from Picasso and Joan Miró. Just north of the Art Institute, Millennium Park is known for both the Frank Gehry–designed Pritzker Pavilion (which hosts free public concerts during the summer), and for the sculpture Cloud Gate, known to Chicagoans as "The Bean" for its legume-like shape.
Grant Park, known affectionately as "Chicago's front yard," occupies more than 300 acres along the lake just east of the Loop. Modeled after the gardens at Versailles, the park is dotted with several impressive attractions, including Buckingham Fountain, the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium. Its sheer size have made Grant Park the site of many notable events, including Barack Obama's 2008 victory speech and the Lollapalooza music festival, which takes place here every summer.

Russia's decision to cut off natural-gas shipments to Ukraine - and essentially 13 other European states that receive gas via its pipelines - is a lot more than a business decision based on failed year-end contract negotiations.
A lot more.
Sure, the Russian state-owned natural-gas company, Gazprom, is cranky about supposedly not getting paid for past natural-gas deliveries to Ukraine as well as the below-market prices Ukraine pays. That's why Gazprom's been trying to renegotiate with Ukraine's natural-gas firm, Naftogaz.
But cutting off gas in the dead of winter - especially with teeth-chattering, sub-zero temps in parts of Europe recently - is pretty harsh. (Happy New Year to you, too, comrade.)
In fact, Moscow is likely using the cover of a seemingly straight-forward business dispute to do some good ol' fashioned arm-twisting of its Ukrainian and European neighbors.
First, the Kremlin is unhappy with how things have gone politically in Kiev since the 2004 Orange Revolution, when a pro-West ticket won the presidency over Moscow's man. (In fact, Moscow's widely suspected of having had a hand in poisoning the pro-West candidate and current president , Viktor Yushchenko, with the dioxins that nearly killed him during the campaign.)
Cutting off gas in the depths of winter is a warning to Kiev - now in the midst of a financial crisis and facing elections next year - reminding it that Moscow can still call some shots there.
That is, it's a kinder, gentler version of Moscow's invasion of Georgia last year - sending a signal by walloping Kiev with an energy two-by-four. Message: Think twice about joining NATO - a red line that the Kremlin has been growling about, and may well be willing to go to the mat over.
Russia also wants Ukraine to knuckle under on extending the lease for Russia's Black Sea Fleet base in Crimea beyond the agreement's 2017 expiration. (Kiev said it won't be renewing the pact.)
The cut-off is also a shot across Europe's bow. It gets nearly 40 percent of its natural gas (and one-third of its oil) from Russia - and it's clear: Moscow is in no mood to be messed with.
Russia is displeased with Europe about its support for a planned US missile-defense system in Eastern Europe, for Kosovo's independence from Moscow's ally Serbia last spring and for Georgia during Russia's invasion last summer - to name just a few matters.
At the very least, Russia might hope Europe will use tools such as potential European Union membership and aid to pressure Ukraine to pay greater heed to Moscow.
Yet the cutoff costs the Kremlin, too - it's losing sales during peak gas-selling season. No help while Moscow navigates its own financial crisis. So emergency negotiations will likely lead to a resolution in the days to come, albeit with Moscow's tough message sent - and received.
This is the third time in three years Russia has cut deliveries to Ukraine. The impact on European energy supplies has counseled Russia's customers on the perils of protesting objectionable Kremlin policies. Indeed, some European capitals have plainly muted their criticisms of Moscow to avoid experiencing the wrath of its energy caprice.
No doubt: Russia will continue to use energy as a weapon - indeed, it has replaced the Red Army as the prime source of Russian power. It's high time Europe diversifies its energy sources, casting off the yoke of its dogged reliance on Russian oil and gas.

If I'm going to be honest, this is just Mono Black Devotion that you tossed some misplaced Lord of the Accursed in. I'd just work on playing some more nuts Mono-Black cards, like Gifted Aetherborn or LotV/Last Hope
May 21, 2017 12:45 a.m.
well I do have Liliana of the Veil on the sideboard for control decks, but I feel like I've achieved critical mass on zombies that I can make this work. With Dread Wanderer I have 20 zambs, which turns on both Gravecrawler and the Lord in question. Ultimately it is of course a mono black devotion deck, but I'm just trying to go a bit more aggro here. Gifted Aetherborn probably does deserve a sideboard slot though, I'll have to make room for that.
May 21, 2017 12:52 a.m.
Whats the purpose of the fetch lands? Also Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is a must with all that devotion.
May 21, 2017 10:13 a.m.
The fetchlands turn on both Fatal Push and Bloodghast. That combined with some expensive sideboard cards are the reason for the high price tag, this build is actually a lot more budget-able than most of my brews.
May 21, 2017 10:39 a.m.
I tried Nykthos last time I did mono black devotion and it just kept getting in the way of Phyrexian Obliterator. It doesn't really do much if you don't have something to dump all the mana into, which is why it works a lot better in green devotion.
May 21, 2017 10:42 a.m.
I don't see the point of the fetch lands, they just kinda make you lose life. Also, I don't see how Urborg helps either. To be honest, go budget with twenty three swamps.
May 21, 2017 6:01 p.m.
They aren't critical, but turning on Fatal Push and Bloodghast is pretty important. Someone restrained by budgetary concerns could easily cut those two cards and run basics though. I also kinda like the different random fetches because at a large tournament it throws them off ("Polluted Delta... Marsh Flats... What is this????")
May 21, 2017 6:12 p.m.
You almost ought to play Smallpox - zombies are cheap, so you won't miss that land too much, and you have 8 creatures that play from the GY.
Tigersol I'm guessing that the point of the lands is to make fetches into swamps, so they can tap for mana, but they can also be cracked to fetch a land, thereby triggering landfall and dragging Bloodghast of the graveyard.
May 21, 2017 6:16 p.m.
I'll have to agree with previous comments that this is just a mono-black devotion deck that you decided to throw some recursive creatures into, along with Lord of the Accursed and called mono-black zombies. This isn't to say the deck is bad, as a Mono-black Midrange player myself I will attest this. But this is far from a Zombie tribal deck as advertised.
If you really wanted to build a Zombie Tribal deck, I'd reccomend a green splash, which would easily be affordable considering the amount of fetches you play, in order to play Collected Company.
Another fatty you should be playing in zombie tribal is Plague Belcher. Since you can easily kill a Gravecrawler or any other recursive creature, it's a 5/4 menance that can easily take over a game (With Menace to boot!)
Of course if you were to play zombies, cards like Cemetery Reaper, Death Baron, Lord of the Undead all become excellent options.
If you aren't going to take advantage of the Zombie tribe, I'd recommend moving Gifted Aetherborn to the maindeck, and cutting your zombie sub-theme since basically all your creatures turns 1-3 can't really block anything at all.
Also, cards like Lashwrithe can show up because with fatties like Kalitas you can just win games swinging for upwards of 9 power with lifelink a turn. (Also goes really well with Obliterator)
Also, if this deck is meant to be played competitively, run Liliana, the Last Hope, if in the sideboard if not the mainboard. The reason for this is becuase she can hold off small aggressive creatures, as well as fetch your zombies that you are already playing (cards like Gravecrawler and Bloodghast, and the best part, SHE CAN RECUR FULMINATOR MAGES! something this deck needs to do to beat decks like tron.
If you want any further help, feel free to look at my primer for all mono-black needs!

Stressed out? Yoga can Help!
If you're stressed out, there are so many ways that yoga can help. Typically when you are stressed out your breathing becomes shallow and you hold tension in your body. Yoga can help you release tension and breathe deeper, not just in class, but with time outside of class when you feel stress creeping in. You don't have to be flexible or able to touch your toes. Yoga teachers know how to help you get the most benefit out of your time on the yoga mat, offering you modifications when necessary, which also helps to avoid injuries. We hope to see you in a class soon!

5 Keys to Great Health
Often when a person decides to "get healthy" they focus on either exercise or diet. Some may be ambitious enough to tackle both! Ever notice that if you exercise AND eat healthy the benefits are astounding and they tend to work synergistically? What about if you added some other vitally important behaviors to the mix? Being healthy isn't always about simply how our body appears on the outside. You can diet and exercise to an extreme, but still have a compromised immune function. These 5 keys to having a healthy mind and body not only can prevent disease, but can also result in a general contentment with life and the challenges that come your way. I used to feel like I was on a hamster wheel every day, and that feeling changed when I learned how to take care of myself. Below are 5 Keys to Health that produced such a change in my life.
As I mentioned above, there is a synergistic relationship to all of these five behaviors. If you start eating healthy and hydrating, managing stress, sleeping well, exercising AND spending some time with friends you will feel like a superstar! I think you should get started right NOW!

Committing to Positive Change
Ever feel like you repeat the same trend or behaviors throughout your life? You try to drink more green smoothies and eat your veggies but before you know it the chips find their way back into your mouth. You commit to an exercise regimen but one day you can't fit it in and that day turns into a month or a year! If this sounds like you, there is good news. You are normal! That's right my friend. There's nothing wrong with you and you are capable of changing your life. The even better news is that identifying your patterns is the first step in making change, so you have started the journey.
Let's face it, change is never easy, but when you commit to taking personal responsibility for your health, happiness and energy level it becomes so empowering. Below are three actions that can help you stay the course.
written by Monica Stoutenborough, PuraVegan Owner
Ten years ago I never would have believed that I could feel this amazing. In fact, I didn't even realize just how bad I felt until I started feeling GREAT! I was 30 years old, beginning to gain weight, accumulate a variety of medications, suffered from regular migraines, and serious digestive pain. In spite of all that I thought that I was healthy simply because I was a vegetarian. Boy was I wrong. I was surviving on processed vegetarian food that was lacking in nutrients but abundant in calories, cholesterol, additives and lots of words/chemicals that I cannot pronounce.
In 2007, I took the plunge to eat a healthy oil-free plant based diet and it was a real shocker. Before I knew it my migraine medication had expired because I wasn't requiring it, my digestion pain was gone, I lost 30 pounds and felt like a super human! My weight loss took place over many months, but the relief from pain and discomfort was almost overnight. I felt like I discovered something that was too good to be true and became the office health nut at my job.
After learning that I had the power to decide how my life would be, I tried some other changes. After taking yoga classes at a resort in Jamaica I told my spouse that I was going to do that as well, helping us afford to travel by trading my teaching services. Within one year I completed a yoga teacher training and was taking my family on a trip twice a year in exchange for teaching yoga at beautiful resorts
I wasn't satisfied there though. I loved my job in corporate America, however I felt a pull to help other people create the life that they were capable of and craving as well. I finally left my stock brokerage job and here I am at PuraVegan sharing this lifestyle with as many people as possible. If you currently feel like I felt 10 years ago, stagnant, uncomfortable in my own skin, knowing that I was capable of more, then know that YOU have the power to create the life that you want as well.
Through meditation, stress management, exercise (yoga and walking for me), and diet I found that I was less affected by my surroundings and more content with life. I was less reactive to my circumstances and able to find acceptance in what I couldn't change in the moment, bringing me more peace and happiness. I also felt that my former lifestyle was aging me and that I was able to slow that down and at times I felt I was reversing some of the damage done to my body from stress and unhealthful foods. My mind felt clear, my emotions more stable and my relationships improved from this.
In assembling the amazing group of employees and teachers at PuraVegan we have built a team of passionate, positive, health focused people that want to help YOU. Please come in and try a class, the food, check out some of the books in our shop - many of them were motivators and catalysts for change during my transformative period and that is why we stock them.
I teach a donation based 30 minute Intro to Meditation class every single Tuesday evening at 5:30pm. If you cannot afford a donation for that class I am personally inviting you to attend anyway. Bring a friend. I don't care how healthy you eat - if you are stressed out your immunity is still compromised. It is time to take care of yourself and your whole body. Do not think that you have to be affluent, skinny, perfect or anything other than what you already are to start living the life that you desire. Your time is now - and we at PuraVegan would love to help support you on your path to feeling AWESOME! You start from here and now.

The thing is that it isn't widely known in Russia that organ transplants from one child to another are illegal. So I started to shoot the documentary because I wanted to show people, citizens of Russia, that there is an issue here, and see… what was their reaction to the problem?feedback

This is the 16th Documentary Festival. It grows bigger from year to year. The city loves it and completely supports it. Especially the younger generation, who are always very enthusiastic. I am very optimistic for the future. This is now considered to be the third largest documentary film festival in Europe, which is a huge success for us.feedback

Everybody knows Muhammad Ali by name. But I don't think everyone knows the Muhammad Ali that's in this film. I think of it especially as a film for the whole family. Younger generations who may only know Muhammad Ali the boxer, Muhammad Ali shaking with Parkinson's, they need to discover this Muhammad Ali: defiant, righteous, principled, moral and triumphant.feedback
