Finance and support
Student finance
Uni is a big investment, so you may need a student loan from one of the regional student finance organisations – they advise you to apply by around May/June before the start of your course. You might be eligible for extra funding from other organisations too.
How to apply for extra funding such as scholarships, bursaries or financial support
Student support
Use your Students' Union to join socials, activities and societies
Students with disabilities and care leavers
Universities and colleges have different ways they can support you in higher education.
International and EU students
- If so, you'll need to prove your English language skills, and make an application through UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
- Your university or college will help you to apply, and you can enter your passport details here on ucas.com when you fill in your application or after you have submitted it.
Mature students
- Make a schedule and arrange any childcare you need.
- Ask for help if there are any skills you need to update.
- Take time to settle in and talk to other students and support staff.
Preparing for your studies
Here's a checklist for you to make sure you're ready for the start of your course.
Apart from waiting for exam results, check whether you need to do anything else to get your place.
Your university or college might have given you further requirements, like health or financial requirements, DBS checks or proof of your qualifications.
If you have a student loan or funding, check that all the details are sorted.
Go to our money management area for advice on banking, budgeting, debts and part-time employment that your conservatoire may be able to help with.
If you're going somewhere new make sure you've got somewhere to live, and think ahead to insurance, bills, supplies and a TV licence.
Contact your uni or college if you need to arrange accommodation. Even if you're waiting for exam results, it's best to check where you could live if you do get the place.
For more information on student accommodation, visit Living at Uni.
If you're moving away you'll need to plan your moving day and how you're getting there, as well as what transport routes you might need to get to your campus.
It's a good idea to research the area and the societies and events the Students' Union provides. Read blogs from other students as well – they might have useful tips for you.
Do you need to get any course materials or do any preparatory reading or research over the holidays?

morning glories
I live in an apartment in Fairport, NY-zone 5 (I think).
My Morning Glories are just budding now in their respective containers. I am aware that I should not fertilize the plants due to over-abundance of too many leaves-not buds. Anyways, the buds are slow-growing. Any suggestions to hurry up the budding- what kind of fertilizer? Or, just let them go?
morning glories usually do best in very lean soil and they tend to be later than other annueals. I am not sure if there is a way to get them to open sooner or not but my suggestion for next year would be to try Cardinal climber instead of morning gloies. They are in the same family and bloom sooner but the flowers are much much smaller.
I live in zone 5a, upstate NY. Our Morning Glories made a lot of leaves and started blooming only a week ago. They are in midday sun, climb on a metal fence and get regularly watered. I probably gave them a few 5-10-5 fertilizer pellets, that's why all the leaves.
I accidentally grew some morning glories indoors one winter. I was surprised that they grew well and actually flowered on and off all winter. They are actually a perennial in warmer climates, so though I haven't tried it yet, I have thought of growing some indoors and planting them outside once the weather warms in the spring - maybe get earlier flowers? Since they are related to sweet potatoes, I also wonder if they would form some kind of fleshy root/tuber if I grew them in a pot all summer and overwintered them indoors. Might try it some year.

Similarly, the absorption rate in Bangalore has fallen from 11 per cent in the third quarter of calendar year 2011 from 13 per cent in second quarter as the infotech hub is witnessing a steady supply of residential units, the report says.
The unsold inventory in Bangalore rose from 27,000 units in the second quarter to 31,000 units in the third quarter of 2011.
The city requires eight quarters to exhaust the unsold stock, it adds.
Saying that Bangalore developers do not have pricing power, the report says the projects launched in the third quarter of 2010 have seen a price of less than 10 per cent in the last one year.
Also, the projects launched in the current year have seen no price hikes.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox are No. 1 and No. 2 in market share, but Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome are also pushing the field. Toss in smaller players like Opera, which does better on mobile platforms than the PC, and these are interesting times.

On January 23, journalist Elena Klimova, the founder of the online LGBT youth support group Children 404, was convicted of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors." The judgment against Klimova marks the latest assault on Russia's LGBT community and the continued crackdown on civil society and freedom throughout the Russian Federation.
For nearly a year and a half, the Russian government has sought to silence Klimova and shut down Children 404, an invaluable source of support for thousands of LGBT teenagers, including those at risk of self-harm and suicide. SEE THE REST OF THIS POST

By Emily McGranachan, Member of Amnesty International USA's LGBT Human Rights Coordinating Group
While pundits in the U.S. lament the political stalemate on Capitol Hill, legislatures elsewhere have had a banner year. Take Uganda, for example, where no fewer than three major pieces of controversial and internationally scrutinized legislation were signed into law between August 2013 and February 2014: the Public Order Management Act (POMA), the Anti-Pornography Act (APA), and the now-nullified Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA). This flurry of activity in the lead-up to Uganda's 2016 elections legalized repressive and discriminatory policies.
Thanks to these three laws, restrictions on the rights to free expression, association and assembly for all Ugandans have intensified. SEE THE REST OF THIS POST
By Conor Fortune, News Writer at Amnesty International, who recently returned from St Petersburg
Ekaterina Khomenko's throat was slit when a street cleaner found her in a car with the engine still running in St Petersburg earlier this month.
According to media reports, police initially suggested – somewhat incredibly – that she might have committed suicide. An investigation is now under way into the actual cause of the 29-year-old's death. SEE THE REST OF THIS POST

LGBT activists and supporters in Serbia have been working tirelessly to prepare for Belgrade Pride, scheduled for September 28. Despite annual efforts to celebrate Belgrade Pride, the 2014 parade, if held successfully, will mark only the third time in more than a decade that the event has actually occurred.
By Colby Goodman, Senior Research Associate at the Security Assistance Monitor and a member of Amnesty USA's Military, Security and Police Working Group
Late last month, the Obama Administration took the unusual step of suspending U.S. security assistance to Uganda in connection with its new "Anti-Homosexuality Act," raising the possibility of similar U.S. restrictions for other African states on the eve of the U.S.-Africa Summit.
According to a June 24th Amnesty International fact sheet, homosexuality is illegal in 38 African countries and punishable by death in four of these states (Mauritania, northern Nigeria, southern Somalia and Sudan).
I've just come from opening week at the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), when thousands of women's rights activists and member state delegations descend on New York to review the current state of affairs for women and girls globally and recommend actions states can take to advance gender equality and promote female empowerment.
Many of the events this week are calling attention to sexual and reproductive rights as a primary barrier to development progress and the enjoyment of rights and dignity for all. The priority theme for the CSW this year is a review of progress for women and girls under the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
In January, Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan, signed the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act into law. This act imposes a 14-year prison sentence for attempting to marry a partner of the same sex.
Nigerians convicted of same-sex public displays of affection, or of participating in organizations or meetings related to LGBT issues face ten years of jail time.
In the weeks since President Jonathan signed the law, Nigeria has seen a sharp increase in anti-LGBT mob violence and the arrest of dozens of LGBT people.
This post is part of a series produced by The Huffington Post and Amnesty International USA in the theme of "Bringing Human Rights Home." Read all posts in the series here.
Over the weekend, Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed into law a bill that criminalizes being gay. Moreover, it criminalizes the "promotion of homosexuality," which will directly impact human rights defenders, healthcare providers or others providing services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
These additional restrictions on top of already discriminatory policies directly undermine the human rights to privacy, health and freedom of expression and association – as the way the laws in Uganda and Nigeria have been written, conducting sex education or trainings on HIV and AIDS could be interpreted as promoting homosexuality and result in jail time of several years.

Good benefits

Below industry average for pay
Incompetent management
Managers seem to be set on demeaning and trying to make their better employees look bad to take the spotlight off the fact that they have no clue or ambition to do their job; when usually that employee is more qualified to do their job. This is perpetuated by the fact that upper management is totally lacking in their job duties. It almost seems that they are " covering" each others backs. There is almost no onsite supervision from managers on up the chain of command. As long as the manager pencil whips his paperwork on the computer and forwards it to the proper people
Management needs better supervision to make sure they are doing their job properly, and more training. Pay scale should be increased to attract better applicants, and to keep the qualified employees we do get.

Hello from the UFO capital of the country. We finally left the country of Texas today.

TIME WARNER COURTS KEVIN REILLY: Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting cable unit is tapping former Fox and NBC executive Kevin Reilly to run the TNT and TBS networks, WSJ reports. Mr. Reilly, who months ago resigned as Fox's entertainment chief, will take on a larger role than his predecessor, running programming, marketing, and business operations. But Mr. Reilly will also have the challenging task of revitalizing Turner's two biggest cable channels, part of a unit that makes up half of Time Warner's operating profit. TNT and TBS are crucial to chief executive Jeff Bewkes' goal of upping carriage fees for Time Warner channels. The networks rely heavily on reruns and big sporting events (NBA and MLB) to draw audiences, but are feeling increasing pressure to develop more original hits in an extremely competitive TV marketplace. For a long time, they sought the kind of programming that could work on a broadcaster like CBS. Nowadays, that won't cut it–cable networks need some edgy programming to stand out and stay relevant. Mr. Bewkes hopes Mr. Reilly can deliver those goods, and in the process help the company rebound from sagging ratings. Mr. Reilly brings plenty of experience: he helped Fox lead among the coveted demographic of 18- to 49-year-old viewers for much of his tenure there. In an earlier stint at FX, he helped launch that cable network's foray into original programming with buzzy shows like "Nip/Tuck."
PUBLICIS' GAMBIT: French ad giant Publicis will pay a hefty sum of $3.7 billion for Sapient, the digital agency and marketing consultancy, representing a 44% premium. Now that analysts and investors have had a day to digest the news, CMO Today has rounded up the verdict. Pivotal Research's Brian Wieser says that the deal had little strategic impact, adding that the SapientNitro unit's digital marketing capabilities "are not sufficiently unique to offer meaningful strategic benefits for Publicis." Albert Fried analyst Richard Tullo called the acquisition "convoluted" for Publicis, since two-thirds of Sapient's revenue comes from digital advertising but the rest comes from industrial artificial intelligence and government services. "This deal dramatically changes the profile of our group," Publicis Chief Executive Maurice Lévy said Monday. "We will get access to new revenue streams and markets." Confused? You're not alone. Be sure to read CMO Today's explanation of what, exactly, Sapient does. The key takeaway: Sapient has positioned itself as more than just a digital ad creator and buyer like other agencies. Its pitch is that it is a standalone shop for brands to get a range of marketing and technology services, including making a site, driving traffic there, designing apps, managing e-commerce functionality and integrating back-end technology systems.

FACEBOOK'S AD BURST: How are things going with Facebook's ad business? Well, during the company's third quarter this year, the average price advertisers paid per Facebook ad was up 274%. We're not talking about a startup that came out of nowhere and is seeing ridiculous growth from a small base. This is Facebook, which has been growing at a fairly astounding rate over the past few years. Facebook's ad revenue was nearly $3 billion, up 64% from the same quarter last year. Still, investors were hardly impressed, because costs zoomed up also and the company indicated it will continue its aggressive spending as it expands into new areas, reports WSJ. What's driving Facebook's ad growth? Well, despite all the competition and talk of teen abandonment, Facebook's engagement indicators are extremely healthy; the company reported 1.35 billion monthly active users, up 13% from the same period last year. Plus, a whopping 864 million people visit Facebook every day–and 703 million use Facebook on mobile devices every day. In an industry where many Web publishers are panicking over lousy mobile ad rates, 66% of Facebook's ad business now comes from mobile. Consider all these positive numbers, and then think about the fact that Facebook has barely scratched the surface of what it can do with its new ad tech business, Atlas, and Web video.
PUBLICIS RUNS TOWARD MOBILE DATA: Mobile devices are increasingly becoming the primary way people access the Internet. Yet targeting ads on mobile devices can be tough, since cookies–those tiny pieces of code that are crucial in ad targeting on desktops–don't work in mobile. Therefore, anybody who has a way to target people on mobile devices would seem to have a leg up as more advertising goes mobile. That's why Google and Facebook are seen as being so well positioned in mobile — both companies have the ability to track users across devices. Well, agencies don't want to be left behind or overly reliant on data providers or partners. That could explain why Publicis Groupe has acquired the mobile ad technology firm Run, WSJ's CMO Today reports. Run's technology pulls data from "multiple mobile-related sources," including "Internet service providers and cellular carriers." Is that better than what other agencies can provide? Does that provide Publicis's clients with access to targeting that Facebook, Google and other companies can't match? At this point, who knows? The proof will come over time as clients use Run's technology. But in the meantime, Publicis, which is still recovering from its failed merger with fellow ad giant Omnicom, gets to look like it's ahead of the pack in mobile technology.

J.P.Meulendijks' LOCK Table is a sustainable dinner table made from layers of flexible bamboo. The layers are pressed together, and their shape is formed by the bamboo's natural bending curve. The layers of bamboo curve through each other and entwine, locking each other in place, producing an elegant piece of furniture that mixes nature and mathematics. The base of the table has a muscular form, which looks different when viewed from different angles.

SAN RAMON, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced it has joined the Hortonworks Technology Partner Program to offer its Big Data products on the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) powered by Apache Hadoop. The Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) delivers a 100-percent open source, enterprise-class distribution of Apache Hadoop that is endorsed and adopted by some of the largest vendors in the IT ecosystem.
WANdisco's patented active-active replication technology turns globally distributed servers into complete replicas of each other so they are always in-sync, providing continuous hot-backup and automatic failover across every site for non-stop data recovery. By applying this technology to Big Data with products being announced this quarter, WANdisco allows enterprises to put truly effective business continuity strategies into place by having globally distributed data synchronized in real-time.
"We are pleased to welcome WANdisco into the Hortonworks Technology Partner Program," said Mitch Ferguson, vice president of business development, Hortonworks. "We look forward to working with WANdisco to deliver innovative Apache Hadoop-based solutions for the enterprise."
WANdisco's technology removes the single point of failure inherent in Hadoop and works over both Wide Area Networks (WANs) spanning multiple servers thousands of miles apart, as well as over Local Area Networks (LANs). This provides enterprises with non-stop availability and addresses planned outages by allowing administrators to take servers offline for maintenance without interrupting user access.
"WANdisco is bringing active-active replication technology to enterprises for high-availability global Hadoop deployments," said David Richards, WANdisco CEO. "Hortonworks Data Platform customers will greatly benefit from WANdisco non-stop Big Data solutions through this partnership."
About WANdisco

Cooking Light Magazine - 1 yr subscription $5.00
Now that's a GREAT price! Good this week only (Nov 9th)
Through Amazon so not some fly-by-night disreputable clearing house.
Here's the link:
$5.00 Cooking Light subscription
Would make a relly nice stocking stuffer or just a gift for thy self :)
I'm laughing, FOAS. I'm trying to get rid of old magazines and you post this steal. My mother just asked me if I wanted another subscription for Cook's Illustrated for Christmas, and I passed (love to read it, never cook from it.) I'll tell her she can give me this instead:) She says "THANKS!!!", and so do I!
Cathy in SWPA
PS As an aside, I used to get this magazine and found some of the ingredients too "one time use." I picked it up at the orthodontist the other day and was pleasantly surprised!
And thanks from me and the crew in my office too! Several Xmas gifts are now done.
Oops! Thanks directed to loves2cook4six! I'm still enjoying my ice cream maker too!
Cathy in SWPA
Notice I ordered for gifts...not for me!
Y'all are my "Cooking Light!
I got the magazine for a lot of years....but it got to much spa and beauty...so I dropped it.
But my DIL loves it....and maybe my daughter would too...
For $5 it's cheaper than buying her a margarita at lunch!!
