The cold could snap bones. And for the actors filming the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp scenes during their first weeks on location in Poland, the work itself was a chilling business that tore them out of their own place and time and engulfed them in nightmarish history. In one horrific scene, 300 naked actresses in shorn wigs crowded into an Auschwitz shower and were told to stare up at the menacing nozzles. As Jewish prisoners just transferred into the death camp, they were supposed to appear unsure if the fixtures would produce water or gasif they were meant for cleansing or for killing.
Their tears were real. Israeli actress Miri Fabian held a young girl close. She herself had been born in a concentration camp and had not yet told her mother that she had taken the role. The tension was unbearable. She had trouble breathing, then began hyperventilating, and was barely able to finish filming the sequence.
Other Auschwitz scenes played out against similarly haunting visions of hell. One member of the company recalls ''guard dogs going mad everywhere, huge burly guards with whips, chaos, blinding snow, a red haze coming from the chimney stacks.'' And this was just the beginning. For the next two and a half months, Steven Spielberg, directing with precise, singular vision, led the cast and crew of Schindler's List to the heart of the Holocaust's horror. ''I said to myself, 'How can I bring truth to these impossible images?''' Spielberg admits. ''There wasn't even an attempt to alleviate the sadness. Constantly, every week, somebody would lose it.''
Miraculously, the finished work brings audiences to the same awful place, securing Spielberg's position as perhaps the nation's preeminent filmmaker. He is a front-runner, alongside The Piano's Jane Campion, for the Best Director Oscar, an honor that the Academy has begrudged him so far, placating him only with 1986's Irving G. Thalberg Award for his work as, ironically, a producer. Schindler's very existence is a victory against astounding odds. It took a decade to adapt journalist Thomas Keneally's sprawling 1982 novel for the screenand the film's tight schedule required Spielberg to edit his other 1993 triumph, Jurassic Park, from Poland early last year. This month, Schindler's, which has made an impressive $10 million in limited release, opens in more than 250 theaters, with more to comea heartfelt monument to an event so ghastly that it stands oceans away from the reaches of art. This is the story of how Spielberg, an entertainer until now associated with soaring flights of fancy, hunkered down and bridged that gulf.
Steven Spielberg, 46 and known to brood on occasion, has lately been cheery in a way that befits a director who has new critical esteem to go with four of the 10 biggest movies in historyJaws (1975), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), E.T. (1982), and Jurassic Park (1993). Standing outside his Amblin Entertainment office at Universal Studios in jeans and sneakers, his salt-and-pepper beard matching long hair unfettered by his usual baseball cap, he greets Marvin Levy, Amblin's marketing consultant, who offers glad tidings.
The National Society of Film Critics has just given Schindler's Best Picture and Spielberg his first Best Director honor this year; other groups had chosen Campion. ''Great! Wonderful! This means we've swept all five critics' groups!'' Spielberg says with a grin.
When Schindler's List was published, Spielberg had recently finished E.T., mining his boyish nightmares and fantasies to great effect but earning a reputation as the Peter Pan of filmmaking. MCA president Sidney Sheinberg brought the novel to Spielberg's attention. The story, a moving record of what happened to 1,100 Polish Jewsthe Schindlerjudenwhose lives were saved when German war profiteer Oskar Schindler ''bought'' them as factory workers to spare them from the death camps, intrigued Spielberg. After scanning one review, he recalls saying to Sheinberg: ''It'll make a helluva story. Is it true?''
Keneally himself had been talked into writing the book while standing in a Beverly Hills leather-goods store, waiting for a credit-card authorization from the proprietor, Schindler survivor Leopold Page (born Poldek Pfefferberg). Page had first helped sell Schindler's story to MGM in the 1960s. The studio hired Casablanca coscreenwriter Howard Koch to work on the film, but the dubious character of Oskar Schindlera womanizing, boozing bear of a man who profited from the war by employing Jewsmay have made his story a difficult sell. The project was dropped and lay dormant for years before Spielberg decided to take it on.
Page, 80, insists that from their first meeting, Spielberg knew he would do the movie. ''When I met him,'' he recalls in thickly accented English, ''I asked him, 'Please, when are you starting?' He said, 'Ten years from now.''' But as those years passed, Page worried that he wouldn't live to see the film.
''Schindler's was on my guilty conscience,'' says Spielberg. ''Page was heaping on the fact that he was going to die.''
Like Schindler's motivation for saving his employees, Spielberg's reluctance to take on the project was both spiritual and pragmatic. He gave the project to two other directors, Sydney Pollack and Martin Scorsese, before tackling it himself. ''He didn't think he was ready,'' explains the film's screenwriter, Steven Zaillian (Awakenings, Searching for Bobby Fischer). ''He didn't have kids yet. He had to come to terms with his Jewishness. He kept putting it off.''
Spielberg wasn't the only one who doubted his abilities. Australian director Fred Schepisi (Six Degrees of Separation) implored him not to do it, warning him that his big-studio gloss would be the film's downfall. ''Give it to me,'' he told Spielberg. ''I don't think you have the courage to not use the crane and dolly.''
''Survivors would come up to me in Poland and say, 'What a strange choice,''' recalls Spielberg, ''and I'd have a sinking feeling in my heart, (worrying that) the world wouldn't accept Schindler's List from me.'' Now, as he sits cross-legged in a soft armchair in his office, the fear has fallen away. Spielberg leans forward and boasts: ''There is not one crane shot!''

After getting very excited bout this game i decided to dig out the san andreas, an now im even more excited but anyway. Despite internet reports claiming otherwise, GTA IV is indeed set (at least partially) in Liberty City - or more likely Liberty State, the area beyond Liberty City. If you're still not convinced, you can see the words 'Liberty City' plastered on a docked tanker in the trailer, a ferry and of course there's also a glimpse of the 'LCPD' patrolling the GTA IV streets.
As you can see from the comparison screenshots at the bottom of the page, the layout of GTA IV's Liberty City seems to resemble we remember from the PS2 - though obviously there's a whole lot of extra detail washed onto the streets.
As for what's beyond the walls of the famous GTA III locale, the trailer confirms GTA versions of the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and a fun park including rollercoaster, which were all missing from the PS2 instalment.
Your attention is the final package completely changed the game Grand Theft Auto IV. Replaced 85% of the textures, added over 250 mods. And most importantly, you do not need to install yourself. So fans of Grand Theft Auto IV, Download, you will not regret it. We establish such a global fashion as a Better City Textures and RealizmIV as there are now modifications (in the game by pressing F3-run the menu script, management Numpad 8,4,5,6,2,0) Speedometer, Nitrogen, choice of any car, Neon, Adjusting the weather and time, teleportation, the whole city in your upravlenii.Problem with the passing game does not arise. The only negative - for those who played the game with the patch below 188.8.131.52 - the game better to start over.
Additional Information:
On the desktop, after installation, a shortcut GTAIV.EXE to start the game, and CarSpawner for GTA IV.exe to call a special machine in the game. In the game by pressing F3 brings up a menu helper. In it you can completely change the game interface, in particular weapons, calling machines, litter player model, make the car invisible, make the car does not break. In addition, there are many hot keys - Alt + QEADFGHZXCVBNM - is to call the car in the game. Insert - reset Mentovskie stars, Delete - to add a level razyskivaemosti In fact, the entire keyboard to become a panel of the game world GTA IV.
We're expecting lots of advancements in how realistically the inhabitants of Liberty City live and work, but already there are a number of improvements on show in the short teaser.
At the beginning of the video you can see that the driver of the blue sports car is adjusting his rear-view mirror - a very nice touch indeed that we would never have seen working on the PS2. The pedestrians on the streets also have fully-modelled faces and carry groceries and books, which certainly adds a more realistic vibe to surroundings that the aimlessly-walking residents in GTA III.

What to do with a dank, dark, outmoded prison? Fling open the doors and charge admission, of course.
Officials in Lancashire, England are the latest to suspect there's figurative gold in those cells -- in this case, medieval Lancaster Castle, a prison that dates to the 12th century and is now home to 240 inmates, according to a report last week in the Lancashire Evening Post.
They're by no means the first to hit upon the idea. Dublin has its Kilmainham Jail and London has its Tower. But Americans excel at re-imagining their prisons as tourist attractions. Dozens of former U.S. jails and prisons now charge admission, most notably San Francisco's Alcatraz, operated by the National Park Service. Audio tours feature riveting narration by former inmates and guards.
But several other institutions have kicked it up a notch. As reported here recently, the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield (seen in the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption) hosts a dozen or so weddings a year, plus "Glamour in the Slammer" bridal shows.
In Moundsville, W.Va., the Saturday all-night ghost-hunting tours are are so popular they're sold out through 2010. (You can try again in January 2011, when new dates will be announced.)
But some of the most creative prison programming comes out of Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary. This Saturday and Sunday it'll host a Prison Break Weekend, in which "visitors can hone their escape skills" by crawling through a tunnel designed to mimic one used in a 1945 escape attempt by 11 inmates who dug a 90-foot tunnel.
Bring the kids! No, really, says Eastern State's program director Sean Kelley. While the former prison's programming typically isn't geared to children younger than 7, this weekend is billed as "family-friendly" with lots of fun interactive activities. (Shiv-making presumably not among them.)
Eastern State runs about 10 major events a year, including a storming of the Bastille re-enactment every July and a Halloween haunted house that consistently ranks in the top five nationally among those who rate these things. Annual "alumni weekends" that reunite former guards and inmates for a picnic are also crowd-pleasers. "It's one of my favorite events," says Kelley.
But Eastern State's history is interesting even without costumed actors trying to break into or out of the place. Opened in 1829, the stone fortress had running water and heat even before the White House did. It operated under the Quaker belief that people are inherently good, and given the chance to reflect in solitude about their misdeeds, they'd become penitent (the source of the word "penitentiary") and mend their ways.
Its star-shaped design with central surveillance hub was studied and copied worldwide, as was its solitary-confinement philosophy.
It also once housed the notorious Al Capone, who, inexplicably, was allowed to furnish his cell with Oriental rugs, paintings, a desk and cabinet-style radio. The cell, with its re-created flourishes, is a popular stop on the tour.
The prison closed in 1971. It opened for tours in 1994 and now attracts about 250,000 visitors annually. They're drawn there, Kelley suspects, by a fascination with the taboo. After all, most of us have never been -- and never will be (knock on wood) locked up.
"Prisons are such a part of popular culture. but most people have never set foot in one," Kelley says. "They inspire folklore, but we're trying to get the real story front and center. It's a dramatic story."
So readers, where does a prison visit rank on your vacation to-do list?

Beer Reviews (1)
Restaurant Reviews (0)
So why is this a great place?
* A large beer selection. Over 30 on tap and over 120 available. All of the other drinks you might want are available too.
* The World Tour. A fun "beers of the world" promotion that Tim has been running for over 20 years. A great way to try a lot of different beers, win some prizes and get your name on the plaque.
* Atmosphere. The Ale House is small but it has a great pub feel. Lots of wood, a copper top bar, classic rock, many TVs with sports, darts and a video game machine.
* Food. While there is no fryer, the pizza alone is worth the trip. Add to that a grill (burgers, hot ham and cheese, spiedies) and you won't leave hungry.
* People. The Ale House draws a diverse crowd: Locals, college students (mostly grad), profs and it all works. Generally no stupid drunks and if you sit at the bar by yourself, people are friendly.
* Owners. Tim and Diane in my experience are friendly and as I mentioned, after 20 years (17 of them out of the area) they still know me and welcome me back. That says a lot to me. They work most of the shifts and The Ale House is a busy place. There have been times when they have not been immediately chatty upon my arrival, but it has always been because they were getting an order up, a keg replaced, etc. That said, when the opportunity has presented to catch up, they always have. I genuinely like them and they have absolutely earned my loyalty.
* Summary. If you're into the club scene, dancing, looking to hook up, or just drink a beer and check it off a "places visited" list, this may not be your kind of place. But if you want a place to spend memorable times with friends, have great beer and food, then it's worth your time.
For me a trip back to the Binghamton area is not complete without a visit to The Ale House.

Friday I Heart – Family Time
Hello lovelies,
It's been a little while!
I'm so sorry for the lack over posts over the last week but I can promise that although you haven't seen much on the site, there's LOTS of exciting things happening behind the scenes which I can't wait to share with you VERY soon and in the meantime, daily posting schedule resumes on Tuesday.
Easter has always been a very family orientated time for us. It's not often throughout the year that we all manage to get the same time off work together so we take advantage of this weekend and make the most of it!
Sadly, it doesn't seem as though we are going to be blessed with the same scorching weather we had last time we hosted it back in 2011 – we had to make a mad dash to Homebase to grab a gazeebo to ensure my Nan didn't get burnt.
This isn't going to stop us having fun though!
My lovely aunt Kaff (You will know her from previous posts here and here) came up yesterday and the rest of the clan will be arriving later this evening. SOOOOO excited!
As well as getting to see the FAB parentals, I will also get to see my gorgeous Nan (she turned 92 last week – she looks amazing eh!) and my brother too who I've not seen since Christmas so really looking forward to catching up with him!
The next few days will be a very welcome break from a full on couple of weeks full of family fun and maybe a sneaky bit of chocolate too!
So what are you plans for Easter?
What ever you do, I hope you all have a lovely time and see ya back here at 9.00am Tuesday where I will be introducing you to another FAB supplier!
Much love,
Tags: Easter, Family, Friday I Heart, Happy Easter

The groups are variously referred to (often interchangeably) as Springfield counseling groups, Springfield support groups, Springfield mutual support groups or peer support groups, self help groups, stress coping groups, workshops and mental health groups. They are moderated by a professional group counselor, group therapist or group psychologist and generally focus on a specific issue or client profile (e.g. men or women etc).
Before joining a Springfield support group, first see if the issue focus is consistent with your needs. If there are no groups offering support around your issue, feel free to contact these professionals in Springfield to ask for a referral to alternative groups nearby.

Introduction of cheap supermarket brands did nothing to help their case but Germany is still producing some amazing top quality wines and at incredible value as they still don't have the popularity of other top countries but it won't stay that way for long.

Though she was born to a well-off family in Pennsylvania, she had to work her way up the ladder like many of us. That included working for Vera Wang and Harper's Bazaar.
It was late 2003 when Tory Burch started having ideas about building a fashion business. Her theme was: elegant but affordable.
With pure talent and with her ex-husband Chris' help, Tory Burch began to build her brand in their apartment while raising six kids, including three from Chris' previous marriage. That entailed her to work on her first designs literally from home.
You could say Tory was cooking up design ideas all the time as she was working in the kitchen. When more funds became available, she was able to open her first store in Manhattan in 2004. The rest is breathtaking fashion history.
Tory Burch's is one of those what we call accidental super success stories. Though she always knew what she was up to, she really didn't expect her business would grow into the $2 billion empire that it is now.
Tory Burch is a sought-after name in bags, which include clutches, purses, shoulder bags, minis, and totes. Her clothes are also bestsellers. Her signature items are embroidered and printed tunics. Footwear choices include gorgeous heels, cute booties, and to-die-for wedges.
Check out these items from the official Tory Burch YouTube channel:
Stuff of dreams. Known for Bohemian-chic styles, Tory Burch has become undoubtedly one of the most well-known brands in women's fashion today, and has dozens of stores around the world. Her name doesn't only stand for the person anymore but the brand.
And interestingly, she started all these in the comfort of her apartment kitchen.

"Distrust and caution are the parents of security." - Benjamin Franklin
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The highly anticipated Twitter (TWTR) initial public offering is finally here and is not disappointing thus far. Shares closed at$44.90, up a whopping 73%, compared with its IPO price of $26. With the Twitter IPO and new all-time highs in the broad indices, euphoria over U.S. equities continues to hit multi-year extremes.
The spread between bulls (55.2%) and bears (15.6%) in the Investors Intelligence Poll moved up to 39.6% this week, the second-highest level since the low in March 2009. The last time the spread was this high was back in April of 2011, which coincided with a top in the S&P 500 and subsequent decline of over 20%.
Before that, you have to go back to the October 2007 peak to find sentiment at a similar extreme.With the Twitter IPO, the current backdrop brings to mind the excitement leading up to the Facebook (FB) IPO in May 2012, which coincided with a short-term S&P 500 peak and decline of just over 10%. Most investors today cannot fathom such a scenario, as the belief in the Federal Reserve's ability to prevent market declines has never been stronger. However, that is precisely why U.S. equities are vulnerable here, if not to a correction than at least to a more rangebound market than what we have been experiencing for the first 10 months of this year. With the broad indices down over 1% Thursday, investors may finally be waking up to the many cautionary signals that I have been writing about over the past two weeks:
Global X Social Media ETF
(NFLX) and other "story" stocks continue to trade weak. When these momentum stocks are underperforming, it is typically a sign of risk-off behavior.
The Russell 2000, as seen in the
Russell 2000 ETF
(IWM), peaked on a relative basis over a month ago and continues to underperform. This is a negative reflection of overall market breadth, where the average stock has not been able to keep pace with the broad indices.
Defensive sectors viewed through the
Consumer Staples ETF
(XLP) continue to outperform, a sign of risk-off behavior.
PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund
(DBC) continues to decline, trading at its lowest levels since June; this is further evidence of deflationary behavior.
Guggenheim CurrencyShares Japanese Yen ETF
(FXY) has been unable to hit new lows and is trading sharply higher, a sign of risk-off behavior.
European financials continue to trade weak, calling into question the European recovery thesis.
Investor sentiment from multiple indicators is at overbullish extremes. From such extreme levels in the past, we have typically seen below average performance in the S&P 500 going forward.

The estate features the world-famous Pezula Golf Course and is next to the Pezula Hotel and Spa and Gym. The house, located in a private corner of the estate, looks onto a secluded 'private' beach which is accessible by steps starting from the house. A large, single-storey property built around a sheltered central courtyard, the open-plan layout maximizes natural light to create a serene and restful ambiance. The master bedroom and living and dining areas open onto a long veranda overlooking the beautiful shoreline of the Sparrebosch Nature Reserve on the one side, and the beach and ocean beyond on the other; the ideal spot for a sundowner or a morning of whale- and dolphin-watching. Modern and elegant, the overall architecture is of a timeless, radically modern design. Using quality finishes, furnishings and objects d'art throughout, Blue Horizon's interiors exude elegance and simplicity. State-of-the-art kitchen appliances, audio-visual equipment and underfloor heating throughout offer the last word in 21st century comfort.

By Karina
from OTTAWA
I just ordered the ponte jacket in black and pink.I do find the design of the jacket suitable for more "mature" women. I tried the jacket on and it did not work for me. I am in my mid 40's and the style of the jacket is made for more mature women. I gave the black JR jacket to my mother (she is in her 70's) and she loved it. I am going to return the pink jacket since it does not suit me and my mom did not want it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looked good on Ann
By kate65
from New Westminster (BC)
I have other JR jackets, all size Large, so ordered the same. Maybe if I had no bust it would have fit better. Also, it was supposed to have a bit of "bling" on the lapels. I could barely make out the glitter and it looked rather blah. Disappointed and have sent it back.

It's a Wow!
By Kate
from Victoria, B.C.
I bought the magenta which is more of a pink flamingo. Not too bright, the fit is perfect, and the fabric is wonderful. Love the design, this jacket will turn heads.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Alberto Cuomo, BSc International Business and Management, Italy
Read about my experience of Aston University by clicking on the tabs below.
A degree from Aston University is going to be recognised globally. Aston is able to offer placements where you can work anywhere in the world. I live on campus which is very comfortable and all campus facilities like the laundry, the library and the gym are close by. It's definitely best to live on campus especially in your first year.
Fabio Carraro, MSc Marketing Management, Italy
I wanted to come to the UK to study and the MSc Marketing Management course offered by Aston University really impressed me. I did my own research and I was impressed by Aston University's reputation. When I compare studying in Italy and in the UK, I find the environment in the UK much more competitive.
I have been happy with everything at Aston, especially with the lecturers.It is a competitive environment but with a manageable workload that encourages me to be at my best everyday. I also love everything about the campus and everyone is very helpful. The location is the best thing as it is so close to the city centre and of course the atmosphere on campus is great.
On my programme, the MSc Marketing Management, there are people from over 20 different countries studying with me. This diverse student group teaches you that there are many different approaches to any one problem.
Anastasia Kyriacou, BSc Optometry, Cyprus
I have really enjoyed studying at Aston, and I completed a foundation year here before entering my Bachelors degree in Optometry. I chose Aston because of the rankings for the Optometry department and also because the campus is in the city centre and I could live on campus.
I chose Aston University because of its excellent reputation for its Masters degrees at the Business School. The fact that Aston is situated in the heart of Birmingham is also another reason I chose to come here, since you can get the best of both worlds when living here - Campus life and City life.
My programme of study, International Business, is very multicultural. It has given me the opportunity to mix with other students from various countries and backgrounds with whom I have created strong friendly relationships.
My modules are demanding but also very educational since I encounter international business aspects in them every day. The members of staff are all responsive to my needs and provide me with any support I need.
I describe Birmingham as a mini-London. The city provides everything you may need but on a smaller scale compared to the capital which makes moving around easier and faster. Whether it is shopping, nightlife or excursions you are after, Brum has it all!
The reason I have decided to take on the Masters degree challenge is to enable me to work in the family business with a better understanding of the International Environment of business. I plan to work in this business and hopefully develop it into a business which, apart from serving the local needs, has an important role in the international markets.
Suvi Ellilä, BSc Product Design & Management, Finland, Graduated 12th July 2010
Whilst at Aston I have had the opportunity to get involved with research, working with a PhD student in the summer before my second year. This was my first experience of working on a research project prior to my dissertation in my final year.
Now that I have graduated I will be going to Cambridge University to complete an MPhil in Micro and Nanotechnology Enterprise. This programme will allow me to remain right at the cutting edge of modern research in this field.
Noemi Bahr, Double MA Europe and the World, Germany
I did my undergraduate in political science at the University of Hamburg. Although I enjoyed the studies, I knew I wanted to focus on International Relations and/or European Studies in my masters. Additionally, I gained practical experience while I was working for the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations in New York last year. That internship really helped me to become sure of what I wanted to do professionally. To me, working in an international context is attractive because it is a complex, interesting field that never gets boring: you encounter great people from different cultures and backgrounds; try to improve things especially in the area of development aid etc., and use languages. The double MA Europe and the World combines all of these passions of mine and is, therefore, the best preparation for my aspired career.
The Double MA actually consists of only five students this year; however we share classes with other Politics Masters. It is an international group, not strictly European but there are also students from Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. I really enjoy this mix of students.
The staff at the Aston Centre for Europe is very helpful, motivated and engaged. There are many extracurricular activities to which we are always invited. Next week we will actually go to Brussels to gain more practical insight of the institutions we have been talking about so much during lectures. Our programme also requires us to do a 6 – month internship in a European context, so I hope this visit to Brussels will help me decide where I would like to work.
The Double MA modules are wide ranging: they include EU laws, international political economy, also the institutions, globalisation, political communication, IR theories, leadership and the EU's relationship to other regions for example. Additionally, students still can pick languages. A friend of mine started Chinese, while I am practicing French in preparation for my second year which is at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques, Lille, France.
I have not been to Birmingham before, so Aston University was actually the only factor that made me come here. However, I do not regret it at all. I have met many friendly people at university as well as off campus where I live with three lovely housemates. Here in the UK, I am particularly impressed with the cultural diversity – I come from Germany (Hamburg) and have travelled a lot –still I make many different experiences. Birmingham might not be the prettiest city of all, but its location makes it very attractive and convenient to undertake short trips during the weekends. Culturally, Birmingham has quite a lot to offer – concerts, theatres, a lot of pubs and good 'Balti' food. I am still trying to get used to the smell of beans on toast in the morning and even reading it on the menu of restaurants makes me laugh a little. However, every culture has its obsessions and proud traditions and I am eager to learn more about the British.
I actually hope to work for the European Union – I am particularly interested in external relations but you never know where you might end up so I try to be open-minded about it. I could also see myself working for NGOs, the German Diplomatic Service or the Foreign Ministry. So, let's cross fingers!
Pamela Haering-Das, MSc Work Psychology and Business. Germany
The diverse mix of students at Aston broadens your horizons and not just academically. It gives you the chance to look at things differently, it's interesting to see how people perceive your culture, you get the chance to explain your culture to people who may not understand it. Read more about my experience of Aston below.
I am really impressed by the research focus, the lecturers have very applicable practically based knowledge. What they teach is not just out of a text book, they give real world examples of how to use the knowledge that they share.
My favourite topic is work psychology, in this we consider areas such as the well being of the individual, ergonomics, counselling and employee relations. I enjoy this so much because there is so much to consider, this is where I get to put strategies in place to help people achieve their potential.
Thomas Schaster, MSc Business and Management, Germany
To be honest, I was surprised at how nice a city Birmingham is. It is really easy to get around and there are some great shops. The airport is really close which makes travelling home very convenient.. Birmingham is a very student friendly city. Everything is so cost effective when you compare it with London.
Students on the MSc Business and Management programme have a diverse range of backgrounds, with people from engineering and science based backgrounds as well as those with a more traditional business background. For example, my syndicate group includes a doctor from India! This makes working together challenging but it really helps to develop your intercultural awareness. Our programme covers a broad range of topics which gives you an ideal grounding to go into consulting work, which is my career goal after graduation.
Jimmy Naraine, International Business and Management, Polish
Read more about my Aston experience by clicking the tabs below.
Aston is one of only 27 business schools in the world to have achieved triple accreditation and gives me the opportunity to complete an overseas industrial placement year.
In Poland we are required to learn vast amounts of material but very often we do not know how to put it into practice. At Aston, stronger emphasis is put on teaching us how to implement knowledge into everyday business life.
There are no limits to the number of clubs that you can join! Apart from the huge range of sporting societies, students raise money with the RAG society, develop business skills with business societies, you can build schools in Uganda, or go for AIESEC exchange to Hong Kong or Dubai! Its important to get involved!
Joanna Pokorska, MSc Marketing Management, Poland
I was impressed with Aston's reputation as it has a really good position in the league tables.
The university isn't huge so you do get to know the staff and the lecturers well and they are really approachable. The standard of teaching here is very high and there are great student facilities on campus such as the access to databases and IT facilities.
The majority of students are international and they are not as competitive as students on courses I have previously studied with, which creates a positive atmosphere among students, since everyone is willing to help others and share opinions and knowledge. I also became a member of recently established Polish Society. I think it is great idea to be able to stay in touch with your own culture, even if you are abroad.
Ines Branco Illodo, MSc Marketing Management, Spain
When I was at university in Spain, I was planning to go abroad to study for a year but I found a good job and worked for five years. I decided to go back to university and chose Aston. I looked on the internet and Aston's MSc Marketing Management degree had the right content for me.
I have received an Aston Business School scholarship towards my tuition fees which has helped me pay to be here. I also attended the International Scholarship reception where we were presented with our awards. Read more about my Aston experience below.
The teaching quality is really good at Aston. The lecturers are very friendly and approachable. You can e-mail them with questions and they are really helpful. There is a lot of group work which I don't like but I am learning a lot from this. It is the first time I have to do academic work in a group environment. It's very demanding but it does help you with your language. When I first came here I couldn't understand anyone! I had studied English but when I went to buy a train ticket I asked someone where to go and couldn't understand him! He was really helpful and friendly though and did help me to get a ticket.
I'm learning a lot. I need to feel motivated otherwise I get bored and this is a very motivational environment. I'm not just here to get an education. This is a massive investment in myself. I am getting to know people from a variety of different nationalities which is opening my mind to new things.
I want to find a job and would like to work in Spain but there is a 20% rate of unemployment. I wouldn't mind working for a multinational company with offices in Spain. I could possibly work here or in any other country as a short/medium term arrangement.
In the Aston Business School, there is a specific MSc Careers Advisor who has been very helpful. He helps us to work through application forms and informs us about deadlines for applications or competitions organised by companies. The work that he does really helps as it saves me a lot of research. There is also a meeting about the careers service every week
I would recommend Aston for Business and the facilities are great. Applicants should also consider other factors such as research rankings and look at student profiles. Prior to coming here I looked at a range of information and visited before applying.
Dea Doncheva, BSc Human Resource Management (2011/12 - June 2015)
When I was starting my preparation to apply for a university abroad, I was looking for one that will allow me to develop new and existing skills, enhance my experience and provide me with a range of opportunities.
The thing I like most about Aston are the facilities and services the university provides to students: particular examples are the Hub, Careers Centre, Placement Office, Student Advice and Representation Office and many more which are developed to a high level and with highly competent staff. Academics and staff are easily approachable and responsive to student enquiries. Another thing is the outstanding teaching quality.
My programme – Management and Strategy – is a really flexible programme, providing students with the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects. Throughout my two years at university I have been studying modules like Accounting, Finance, Economics, Law, Human Resource Management, IT, Business, Government and Society, Enterprise Resources Planning which really enabled me to gain knowledge related to various business areas. The workload and the timetable were well organised, there were a number of different tutorial times which students could visit so flexibility was allowed. Academic staff has been highly supportive and approachable. There is also a really diverse mixture of students from different cultures in my programme. I have been given the opportunity to make friends with people from different backgrounds, share experiences which helped each other settle better in Aston and Birmingham. I have now become more culturally aware and responsible.
During my time at Aston I have been involved in a number of activities and societies. In my first year, I was part of ATIS – Aston Trading and Investment Society; I was also the social executive for SIFE Aston (Students in Free Enterprise). I was involved in the Peer Mentoring Scheme by being a mentee and in my second year I was part of the Professional Mentoring Scheme which gave me an insight of what the real working life of a business professional is, how businesses operate, also allowed me to develop deeper knowledge towards my subject of study, helped me to a significant level to secure a placement.
I am currently ( August 2012 - September 2013) undertaking my placement year at the International Office at Aston University at the position of a Projects Assistant. I would say that this year is the highlight of my degree programmes as it gives me the opportunity to develop skills and abilities which will be highly valued by future employers. My placement year has been really enjoyable so far; I have learned a lot of new things and have a better and clearer idea of how a given organisation functions and the processes that it undergoes. I would definitely encourage students and especially international students to find a placement, as it is the experience from that placement year which makes individuals stand out.
Dea Doncheva, BSc Human Resource Management (2011/12 - June 2015)
I chose Aston for many different reasons I am sure you are well aware of – its top place in the rankings, its city centre location, its great opportunities to excel and its well-known reputation of graduate employability. However, what I did not know before coming was about Aston's common first year for all business students, which gives you enough knowledge to have a clear view of what are you going to be good at and what you will be happy to do in your future career.
I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management. This is a course for those, who believe that people are what make a company unique. Some of my modules are tightly connected with the HR profession: Organisational Behaviour, Developing Creativity at Work, Strategy for Future Leaders, Psychology and Work, etc; others with the broader understanding of how do businesses operate: Operations Management, Financial Accounting, Strategic Finance, IT in Business, etc. During my two years at Aston I have had all kinds of examinations, from class tests, essays, and group works, to 3-hour Summer exams. However, I can assure you that in Aston you will never be in situation, where you do not feel certain about something or you have an issue, and you do not know whom to turn to. There are so many ways to solve a problem here: Personal Tutors, Peer Mentors, the lecturers are so approachable and willing to help, the tutors from the tutorials, too. When you come at Aston you realise that all those people are here exactly because of this, to help you learn more and make your experience better.
Birmingham is a great city in the heart of England. For those, who are worried about rainy days, do not! It is not that bad. Its central location will also give you the chance to travel to all the interesting places around here easily.
As you may already know Aston is situated exactly in the city centre of B'ham; what you do not know yet, however, is that this will be very beneficial for you. You are 10-minute walk away from all the shops, the concert halls, the clubs and the cinemas. If you do not like commuting just like me, believe me you will never regret choosing Aston. I do not.
When I graduate, I believe that I will have enough knowledge and experience to start my career the best way possible. Although I do now know where yet, I know that Aston would have given me a solid ground for future success.
Denisa Dumitrascu, Bsc (Hons) Human Resource Management, Romania: One of the reasons I choose Aston University was definitely because of its reputation amongst most business schools in the United Kingdom.
I am studying for a four-year-degree undergraduate programme in Human Resource Management. It is a complex programme covering topics ranging from the strategic importance of human resource management in contemporary organisations to more specific areas, such as: training and development, recruitment and selection, employment law, performance appraisal, career management, employee relations, and organisational development and change.
All this variety of information and the different perspectives allowed me to understand that managing people is far more than just telling them what to do. I think one of the most important 'things' I have learnt throughout this two years of university is the importance of being genuinely passionate about people and their development as a general condition for organisational development.
Birmingham is indeed an interesting city. It has got something to offer to everybody. Several times, I have been for a walk to Cannon Hill Park where I used to pop by Mac, an arts centre which is always having something going on. Arts wise, an event I really enjoyed was the Galleries Night in May where I visited the IKON Gallery, Mac and The Barber Institute of Fine Arts. After this experience my perception of Birmingham changed completely.
The Modern British Art Section at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery was another thing worth visiting.
For sport lovers, you can always rent a bike for the weekend, there are loads of gyms and sport centers and Aston Villa is literally over the corner.
Also, if you want to do shopping or walk around in one of the largest & busiest shopping centres in the UK, then Bullring is the place. It offers a very large range of brands and perhaps the opportunity for a part time job if you consider the idea. Outside Bullring is this little outdoor market where I love going on Saturday mornings to buy fruits and vegetables for the week.
My various experiences have had a considerable impact on my views and plans. In my first day of university, I started off with the dream of working in Training and Development. When looking back to my first years at university however, I can see how this dream has significantly changed. I would still like to work in the field of Training and Development, however, after my experiences and the multiculcural environment I have been exposed in at Aston, I would like to travel more and develop my cultural intelligence more; understand what lies behind people's actions, understand reactions and frustrations and so make people extend beyond their potential.

Vikram NavalOn a quest to reduce my wardrobe
I just realized that I just use 25% of the clothes I have, leaving me with the headache of managing my other 75% of my clothes.
So here is my quest, I will segregate my wardrobe into 2 segments- "Clothes I love and will use" and "Clothes I have but don't know why"(CIHBDKW). I am giving myself 6 more months, i.e June,2014 to either use the CIHBDKW or donate it to someone who can at least benefit from it.
And the second part of my challenge is to refrain from buying clothes (except for underwear)for the next one year (Until August, 2014 since I took the challenge from August,2013).
Let's see how this self imposed challenge pans out! 12 months ago

APPEndicitis and Laparoscopic Criteria; APPEL Study
A diagnostic laparoscopy is frequently used to confirm the diagnosis of appendicitis. However, laparoscopic criteria for determining appendicitis are not defined. If there is any doubt about the presence of an abnormal appendix, it is usually removed. However, an appendectomy of a negative appendix has a certain morbidity and for that reason it should be avoided. The purpose of this study is to establish laparoscopic criteria for the diagnosis appendicitis during diagnostic laparoscopy.
The UMCG hospital protocol of suspicion of appendicitis includes a diagnostic laparoscopy. The laparoscopic inspection of the appendix is carried out according to a specific protocol. In case of appendicitis the appendix is removed laparoscopically, a normal appendix is not removed. The primary outcome of the study is: appendicitis according to pathologic examination following appendectomy, or appendicitis according to clinical follow-up in case the appendix is not removed.
The clinical diagnosis of appendicitis in the follow-up should be confirmed radiologic examination (ultrasound, CT-scan, MRI) or by a re-operation.
