similar_text — Calculate the similarity between two strings
, string $second
[, float &$percent
] )This calculates the similarity between two strings as described in Programming Classics: Implementing the World's Best Algorithms by Oliver (ISBN 0-131-00413-1). Note that this implementation does not use a stack as in Oliver's pseudo code, but recursive calls which may or may not speed up the whole process. Note also that the complexity of this algorithm is O(N**3) where N is the length of the longest string.
The first string.
The second string.
By passing a reference as third argument, similar_text() will calculate the similarity in percent for you.
Returns the number of matching chars in both strings.
Please note that this function calculates a similarity of 0 (zero) for two empty strings.
similar_text("", "", $sim);
echo $sim; // "0"
Hey there,
Be aware when using this function, that the order of passing the strings is very important if you want to calculate the percentage of similarity, in fact, altering the variables will give a very different result, example :
$var_1 = 'PHP IS GREAT';
$var_2 = 'WITH MYSQL';
similar_text($var_1, $var_2, $percent);
echo $percent;
// 27.272727272727
similar_text($var_2, $var_1, $percent);
echo $percent;
// 18.181818181818
Note that this function is case sensitive:
$var1 = 'Hello';
$var2 = 'Hello';
$var3 = 'hello';
echo similar_text($var1, $var2); // 5
echo similar_text($var1, $var3); // 4
If you have reserved names in a database that you don't want others to use, i find this to work pretty good.
I added strtoupper to the variables to validate typing only. Taking case into consideration will decrease similarity.
$query = mysql_query("select * from $table") or die("Query failed");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
similar_text(strtoupper($_POST['name']), strtoupper($row['reserved']), $similarity_pst);
if (number_format($similarity_pst, 0) > 90){
$too_similar = $row['reserved'];
print "The name you entered is too similar the reserved name "".$row['reserved'].""";
Like levenchtein(), You can do :
(strlen($string2) - similar_text($string,$string2))
to see how much characters have been changed.
Well, as mentioned above the speed is O(N^3), i've done a longest common subsequence way that is O(m.n) where m and n are the length of str1 and str2, the result is a percentage and it seems to be exactly the same as similar_text percentage but with better performance... here's the 3 functions i'm using..
function LCS_Length($s1, $s2)
$m = strlen($s1);
$n = strlen($s2);
//this table will be used to compute the LCS-Length, only 128 chars per string are considered
$LCS_Length_Table = array(array(128),array(128));
//reset the 2 cols in the table
for($i=1; $i < $m; $i++) $LCS_Length_Table[$i][0]=0;
for($j=0; $j < $n; $j++) $LCS_Length_Table[0][$j]=0;
for ($i=1; $i <= $m; $i++) {
for ($j=1; $j <= $n; $j++) {
if ($s1[$i-1]==$s2[$j-1])
$LCS_Length_Table[$i][$j] = $LCS_Length_Table[$i-1][$j-1] + 1;
else if ($LCS_Length_Table[$i-1][$j] >= $LCS_Length_Table[$i][$j-1])
$LCS_Length_Table[$i][$j] = $LCS_Length_Table[$i-1][$j];
$LCS_Length_Table[$i][$j] = $LCS_Length_Table[$i][$j-1];
return $LCS_Length_Table[$m][$n];
function str_lcsfix($s)
$s = str_replace(" ","",$s);
$s = ereg_replace("[��������]","e", $s);
$s = ereg_replace("[������������]","a", $s);
$s = ereg_replace("[��������]","i", $s);
$s = ereg_replace("[���������]","o", $s);
$s = ereg_replace("[��������]","u", $s);
$s = ereg_replace("[�]","c", $s);
return $s;
function get_lcs($s1, $s2)
//ok, now replace all spaces with nothing
$s1 = strtolower(str_lcsfix($s1));
$s2 = strtolower(str_lcsfix($s2));
$lcs = LCS_Length($s1,$s2); //longest common sub sequence
$ms = (strlen($s1) + strlen($s2)) / 2;
return (($lcs*100)/$ms);
you can skip calling str_lcsfix if you don't worry about accentuated characters and things like that or you can add up to it or modify it for faster performance, i think ereg is not the fastest way?
hope this helps.
The speed issues for similar_text seem to be only an issue for long sections of text (>20000 chars).
I found a huge performance improvement in my application by just testing if the string to be tested was less than 20000 chars before calling similar_text.
20000+ took 3-5 secs to process, anything else (10000 and below) took a fraction of a second.
Fortunately for me, there was only a handful of instances with >20000 chars which I couldn't get a comparison % for.
Don't forget your passing the double as a reference. If you use this and soundex() together you can get a pretty good guess as to how well two words match. Is useful for simple bot-like programs.
$i = similar_text($first_word, $second_word, &$p);
echo("Matched: $i Percentage: $p%");
If performance is an issue, you may wish to use the levenshtein() function instead, which has a considerably better complexity of O(str1 * str2).
Note that this function will calculate the percentage blindly, without regard to the LENGHT of the string.
This may become important if you try to print similar names to SMALL strings :
I want to print out the value if it is 90 percent similar to the other one : the value is HE, the correct value is HEC
The similar_text() function will return approximately 66.7 %, and it will not print it because it is smaller than 90 %, although almost all of the string was matched.
In PHP4+, you don't need to pass the percent variable as reference..
Instead, use this way:
similar_text($string1, $string2, $p);
echo "Percent: $p%";
In PHP5, you'll get a ugly warning message when passing this variable as reference.. But it's configurable in php.ini (allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off)
That's it... Another great function! :)
Actually similar_text() is not bad...
it works good. But before processing i think is a good way to make a little mod like this
$var_1 = strtoupper("doggy");
$var_2 = strtoupper("Dog");
similar_text($var_1, $var_2, $percent);
echo $percent; // output is 75 but without strtoupper output is 50

The Corinthians reproved for their contentions. (1-4) The true servants of Christ can do nothing without him. (5-9) He is the only foundation, and every one should take heed what he builds thereon. (10-15) The churches of Christ ought to be kept pure, and to be humble. (16,17) And they should not glory in men, because ministers and all things else are theirs through Christ. (18-23)
Verses 1-4 The most simple truths of the gospel, as to man's sinfulness and God's mercy, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, stated in the plainest language, suit the people better than deeper mysteries. Men may have much doctrinal knowledge, yet be mere beginners in the life of faith and experience. Contentions and quarrels about religion are sad evidences of carnality. True religion makes men peaceable, not contentious. But it is to be lamented, that many who should walk as Christians, live and act too much like other men. Many professors, and preachers also, show themselves to be yet carnal, by vain-glorious strife, eagerness for dispute, and readiness to despise and speak evil of others.
Verses 5-9 The ministers about whom the Corinthians contended, were only instruments used by God. We should not put ministers into the place of God. He that planteth and he that watereth are one, employed by one Master, trusted with the same revelation, busied in one work, and engaged in one design. They have their different gifts from one and the same Spirit, for the very same purposes; and should carry on the same design heartily. Those who work hardest shall fare best. Those who are most faithful shall have the greatest reward. They work together with God, in promoting the purposes of his glory, and the salvation of precious souls; and He who knows their work, will take care they do not labour in vain. They are employed in his husbandry and building; and He will carefully look over them.
Verses 10-15 The apostle was a wise master-builder; but the grace of God made him such. Spiritual pride is abominable; it is using the greatest favours of God, to feed our own vanity, and make idols of ourselves. But let every man take heed; there may be bad building on a good foundation. Nothing must be laid upon it, but what the foundation will bear, and what is of a piece with it. Let us not dare to join a merely human or a carnal life with a Divine faith, the corruption of sin with the profession of Christianity. Christ is a firm, abiding, and immovable Rock of ages, every way able to bear all the weight that God himself or the sinner can lay upon him; neither is there salvation in any other. Leave out the doctrine of his atonement, and there is no foundation for our hopes. But of those who rest on this foundation, there are two sorts. Some hold nothing but the truth as it is in Jesus, and preach nothing else. Others build on the good foundation what will not abide the test, when the day of trail comes. We may be mistaken in ourselves and others; but there is a day coming that will show our actions in the true light, without covering or disguise. Those who spread true and pure religion in all its branches, and whose work will abide in the great day, shall receive a reward. And how great! how much exceeding their deserts! There are others, whose corrupt opinions and doctrines, or vain inventions and usages in the worship of God, shall be made known, disowned, and rejected, in that day. This is plainly meant of a figurative fire, not of a real one; for what real fire can consume religious rites or doctrines? And it is to try every man's works, those of Paul and Apollos, as well as others. Let us consider the tendency of our undertakings, compare them with God's word, and judge ourselves, that we be not judged of the Lord.
Verses 16-17 From other parts of the epistle, it appears that the false teachers among the Corinthians taught unholy doctrines. Such teaching tended to corrupt, to pollute, and destroy the building, which should be kept pure and holy for God. Those who spread loose principles, which render the church of God unholy, bring destruction upon themselves. Christ by his Spirit dwells in all true believers. Christians are holy by profession, and should be pure and clean, both in heart and conversation. He is deceived who deems himself the temple of the Holy Ghost, yet is unconcerned about personal holiness, or the peace and purity of the church.
Verses 18-23 To have a high opinion of our own wisdom, is but to flatter ourselves; and self-flattery is the next step to self-deceit. The wisdom that wordly men esteem, is foolishness with God. How justly does he despise, and how easily can he baffle and confound it! The thoughts of the wisest men in the world, have vanity, weakness, and folly in them. All this should teach us to be humble, and make us willing to be taught of God, so as not to be led away, by pretences to human wisdom and skill, from the simple truths revealed by Christ. Mankind are very apt to oppose the design of the mercies of God. Observe the spiritual riches of a true believer; "All are yours," even ministers and ordinances. Nay, the world itself is yours. Saints have as much of it as Infinite Wisdom sees fit for them, and they have it with the Divine blessing. Life is yours, that you may have a season and opportunity to prepare for the life of heaven; and death is yours, that you may go to the possession of it. It is the kind messenger to take you from sin and sorrow, and to guide you to your Father's house. Things present are yours, for your support on the road; things to come are yours, to delight you for ever at your journey's end. If we belong to Christ, and are true to him, all good belongs to us, and is sure to us. Believers are the subjects of his kingdom. He is Lord over us, we must own his dominion, and cheerfully submit to his command. God in Christ, reconciling a sinful world to himself, and pouring the riches of his grace on a reconciled world, is the sum and substance of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 3:1-23 . PAUL COULD NOT SPEAK TO THEM OF DEEP SPIRITUAL TRUTHS, AS THEY WERE CARNAL, CONTENDING FOR THEIR SEVERAL TEACHERS; THESE ARE NOTHING BUT WORKERS FOR GOD, TO WHOM THEY MUST GIVE ACCOUNT IN THE DAY OF FIERY JUDGMENT. THE HEARERS ARE GOD'S TEMPLE, WHICH THEY MUST NOT DEFILE BY CONTENTIONS FOR TEACHERS, WHO, AS WELL AS ALL THINGS, ARE THEIRS, BEING CHRIST'S.
1. And I--that is, as the natural (animal) man cannot receive, so I also could not speak unto you the deep things of God, as I would to the spiritual; but I was compelled to speak to you as I would to MEN OF FLESH. The oldest manuscripts read this for "carnal." The former (literally, "fleshy") implies men wholly of flesh, or natural. Carnal, or fleshly, implies not they were wholly natural or unregenerate ( 1 Corinthians 2:14 ), but that they had much of a carnal tendency; for example their divisions. Paul had to speak to them as he would to men wholly natural, inasmuch as they are still carnal ( 1 Corinthians 3:3 ) in many respects, notwithstanding their conversion ( 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 ).
babes--contrasted with the perfect (fully matured) in Christ ( Colossians 1:28 ; compare Hebrews 5:13 Hebrews 5:14 ). This implies they were not men wholly of flesh, though carnal in tendencies. They had life in Christ, but it was weak. He blames them for being still in a degree (not altogether, compare 1 Corinthians 1:5 1 Corinthians 1:7 ; therefore he says as) babes in Christ, when by this time they ought to have "come unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" ( Ephesians 4:13 ). In Romans 7:14 , also the oldest manuscripts read, "I am a man of flesh."
2. ( Hebrews 5:12 ).
milk--the elementary "principles of the doctrine of Christ."
3. envying--jealousy, rivalry. As this refers to their feelings, "strife" refers to their words, and "divisions" to their actions [BENGEL]. There is a gradation, or ascending climax: envying had produced strife, and strife divisions (factious parties) [GROTIUS]. His language becomes severer now as He proceeds; in 1 Corinthians 1:11 he had only said "contentions," he now multiplies the words (compare the stronger term, 1 Corinthians 4:6 , than in 1 Corinthians 3:21 ).
carnal--For "strife" is a "work of the flesh" ( Galatians 5:20 ). The "flesh" includes all feelings that aim not at the glory of God, and the good of our neighbor, but at gratifying self.
walk as men--as unregenerate men (compare Matthew 16:23 ). "After the flesh, not after the Spirit" of God, as becomes you as regenerate by the Spirit ( Romans 8:4 , Galatians 5:25 Galatians 5:26 ).
4. ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 ).
are ye not carnal--The oldest manuscripts read, "Are ye not men?" that is, "walking as men" unregenerate ( 1 Corinthians 3:3 ).
5. Who then--Seeing then that ye severally strive so for your favorite teachers, "Who is (of what intrinsic power and dignity) Paul?" If so great an apostle reasons so of himself, how much more does humility, rather than self-seeking, become ordinary ministers!
Paul . . . Apollos--The oldest manuscripts read in the reverse order, "Apollos," &c. Paul." He puts Apollos before himself in humility.
but ministers, &c.--The oldest manuscripts have no "but." "Who is Apollos . . . Paul? (mere) ministers (a lowly word appropriate here, servants), by whom (not "in whom"; by whose ministrations) ye believed."
as . . . Lord gave to every man--that is, to the several hearers, for it was GOD that "gave the increase" ( 1 Corinthians 3:6 ).
6. I . . . planted, Apollos watered--( Acts 18:1 , 19:1 ). Apollos at his own desire ( Acts 18:27 ) was sent by the brethren to Corinth, and there followed up the work which Paul had begun.
God gave the increase--that is, the growth ( 1 Corinthians 3:10 , Acts 18:27 ). "Believed through grace." Though ministers are nothing, and God all in all, yet God works by instruments, and promises the Holy Spirit in the faithful use of means. This is the dispensation of the Spirit, and ours is the ministry of the Spirit.
7. neither is he that . . . anything . . . but God--namely, is all in all. "God" is emphatically last in the Greek, "He that giveth the increase (namely), GOD." Here follows a parenthesis, 1 Corinthians 3:8-21 , where "Let no man glory in men" stands in antithetic contrast to "God" here.
8. one--essentially in their aim they are one, engaged in one and the same ministry; therefore they ought not to be made by you the occasion of forming separate parties.
and every man--rather "but every man." Though in their service or ministry, they are essentially "one," yet every minister is separately responsible in "his own" work, and "shall receive his own (emphatically repeated) reward, according to his own labor." The reward is something over and above personal salvation ( 1 Corinthians 3:14 1 Corinthians 3:15 , 2 John 1:8 ). He shall be rewarded according to, not his success or the amount of work done, but "according to his own labor." It shall be said to him, "Well done, thou good and (not successful, but) faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" ( Matthew 25:23 ).
9. Translate, as the Greek collocation of words, and the emphasis on "God" thrice repeated, requires, "For (in proof that "each shall receive reward according to his own labor," namely, from God) it is of God that we are the fellow workers (laboring with, but under, and belonging to Him as His servants, 2 Corinthians 5:20 , 6:1 ; compare Acts 15:4 ; of God that ye are the field (or tillage), of God that ye are the building" [ALFORD]. "Building" is a new image introduced here, as suited better than that of husbandry, to set forth the different kinds of teaching and their results, which he is now about to discuss. "To edify" or "build up" the Church of Christ is similarly used ( Ephesians 2:21 Ephesians 2:22 , 4:29 ).
10. grace . . . given unto me--Paul puts this first, to guard against seeming to want humility, in pronouncing himself "a WISE master builder," in the clause following [CHRYSOSTOM]. The "grace" is that "given" to him in common with all Christians ( 1 Corinthians 3:5 ), only proportioned to the work which God had for him to do [ALFORD].
wise--that is, skilful. His skill is shown in his laying a foundation. The unskilful builder lays none ( Luke 6:49 ). Christ is the foundation ( 1 Corinthians 3:11 ).
another--who ever comes after me. He does not name Apollos; for he speaks generally of all successors, whoever they be. His warning, "Let every man (every teacher) take heed how," &c. refers to other successors rather than Apollos, who doubtless did not, as they, build wood, hay, &c., on the foundation (compare 1 Corinthians 4:15 ). "I have done my part, let them who follow me see (so the Greek for 'take heed') to theirs" [BENGEL].
how--with what material [ALFORD]. How far wisely, and in builder-like style ( 1 Peter 4:11 ).
buildeth thereupon--Here the building or superstructure raised on Christ the "foundation," laid by Paul ( 1 Corinthians 2:2 ) is not, as in Ephesians 2:20 Ephesians 2:21 , the Christian Church made up of believers, the "lively stones" ( 1 Peter 2:5 ), but the doctrinal and practical teaching which the teachers who succeeded Paul, superadded to his first teaching; not that they taught what was false, but their teaching was subtle and speculative reasoning, rather than solid and simple truth.
11. ( Isaiah 28:16 , Acts 4:12 , Ephesians 2:20 ).
For--my warning ("take heed," &c. 1 Corinthians 3:10 ) is as to the superstructure ("buildeth thereupon"), not as to the foundation: "For other foundation can no man lay, than that which has (already) been laid (by God) Jesus Christ," the person, not the mere abstract doctrine about Him, though the latter also is included; Jesus, GOD-SAVIOUR; Christ, MESSIAH or ANOINTED.
can--A man can not lay any other, since the only one recognized by God has been already laid.
12. Now--rather, "But." The image is that of a building on a solid foundation, and partly composed of durable and precious, partly of perishable, materials. The "gold, silver, precious stones," which all can withstand fire ( Revelation 21:18 Revelation 21:19 ), are teachings that will stand the fiery test of judgment; "wood, hay, stubble," are those which cannot stand it; not positive heresy, for that would destroy the foundation, but teaching mixed up with human philosophy and Judaism, curious rather than useful. Besides the teachings, the superstructure represents also the persons cemented to the Church by them, the reality of whose conversion, through the teachers' instrumentality, will be tested at the last day. Where there is the least grain of real gold of faith, it shall never be lost ( 1 Peter 1:7 ; compare 1 Corinthians 4:12 ). On the other hand, the lightest straw feeds the fire [BENGEL] ( Matthew 5:19 ).
13. Every man's work--each teacher's superstructure on the foundation.
the day--of the Lord ( 1 Corinthians 1:8 , Hebrews 10:25 , 1 Thessalonians 5:4 ). The article is emphatic, "The day," that is, the great day of days, the long expected day.
declare it--old English for "make it clear" ( 1 Corinthians 4:4 ).
it shall be revealed by fire--it, that is, "every man's work." Rather, "He," the Lord, whose day it is ( 2 Thessalonians 1:7 2 Thessalonians 1:8 ). Translate literally, "is being revealed (the present in the Greek implies the certainty and nearness of the event, Revelation 22:10 Revelation 22:20 ) in fire" ( Malachi 3:3 , 4:1 ). The fire (probably figurative here, as the gold, hay, &c.). is not purgatory (as Rome teaches, that is, purificatory and punitive), but probatory, not restricted to those dying in "venial sin"; the supposed intermediate class between those entering heaven at once, and those dying in mortal sin who go to hell, but universal, testing the godly and ungodly alike ( 2 Corinthians 5:10 ; compare Mark 9:49 ). This fire is not till the last day, the supposed fire of purgatory begins at death. The fire of Paul is to try the works, the fire of purgatory the persons, of men. Paul's fire causes "loss" to the sufferers; Rome's purgatory, great gain, namely, heaven at last to those purged by it, if only it were true. Thus this passage, quoted by Rome for, is altogether against, purgatory. "It was not this doctrine that gave rise to prayers for the dead; but the practice of praying for the dead [which crept in from the affectionate but mistaken solicitude of survivors] gave rise to the doctrine" [WHATELY].
14. abide--abide the testing fire ( Matthew 3:11 Matthew 3:12 ).
which he hath built thereupon--which he built on the foundation.
reward--wages, as a builder, that is, teacher. His converts built on Christ the foundation, through his faithful teaching, shall be his "crown of rejoicing" ( 2 Corinthians 1:14 , Philippians 2:16 , 1 Thessalonians 2:19 ).
15. If . . . be burnt--if any teacher's work consist of such materials as the fire will destroy [ALFORD].
suffer loss--that is, forfeit the special "reward"; not that he shall lose salvation (which is altogether a free gift, not a "reward" or wages), for he remains still on the foundation ( 1 Corinthians 3:12 , 2 John 1:6 ).
saved; yet so as by fire--rather, "so as through fire" ( Zechariah 3:2 , Amos 4:11 , Jude 1:23 ). "Saved, yet not without fire" ( Romans 2:27 ) [BENGEL]. As a builder whose building, not the foundation, is consumed by fire, escapes, but with the loss of his work [ALFORD]; as the shipwrecked merchant, though he has lost his merchandise, is saved, though having to pass through the waves [BENGEL]; Malachi 3:1 Malachi 3:2 , 4:1 , give the key to explain the imagery. The "Lord suddenly coming to His temple" in flaming "fire," all the parts of the building which will not stand that fire will be consumed; the builders will escape with personal salvation, but with the loss of their work, through the midst of the conflagration [ALFORD]. Again, a distinction is recognized between minor and fundamental doctrines (if we regard the superstructure as representing the doctrines superadded to the elementary essentials); a man may err as to the former, and yet be saved, but not so as to the latter (compare Philippians 3:15 ).
16. Know ye not--It is no new thing I tell you, in calling you "God's building"; ye know and ought to remember, ye are the noblest kind of building, "the temple of God."
ye--all Christians form together one vast temple. The expression is not, "ye are temples," but "ye are the temple" collectively, and "lively stones" ( 1 Peter 2:5 ) individually.
God . . . Spirit--God's indwelling, and that of the Holy Spirit, are one; therefore the Holy Spirit is God. No literal "temple" is recognized by the New Testament in the Christian Church. The only one is the spiritual temple, the whole body of believing worshippers in which the Holy Spirit dwells ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 , John 4:23 John 4:24 ). The synagogue, not the temple, was the model of the Christian house of worship. The temple was the house of sacrifice, rather than of prayer. Prayers in the temple were silent and individual ( Luke 1:10 , 18:10-13 ), not joint and public, nor with reading of Scripture, as in the synagogue. The temple, as the name means (from a Greek root "to dwell"), was the earthly dwelling-place of God, where alone He put His name. The synagogue (as the name means an assembly) was the place for assembling men. God now too has His earthly temple, not one of wood and stone, but the congregation of believers, the "living stones" on the "spiritual house." Believers are all spiritual priests in it. Jesus Christ, our High Priest, has the only literal priesthood ( Malachi 1:11 , Matthew 18:20 , 1 Peter 2:5 ) [VITRINGA].
17. If any . . . defile . . . destroy--rather as the Greek verb is the same in both cases, "destroy . . . destroy." God repays in kind by a righteous retaliation. The destroyer shall himself be destroyed. As temporal death was the penalty of marring the material temple ( Leviticus 16:2 , Daniel 5:2 Daniel 5:3 Daniel 5:30 ), so eternal death is the penalty of marring the spiritual temple--the Church. The destroyers here ( 1 Corinthians 3:16 1 Corinthians 3:17 ), are distinct from the unwise or unskilful builders ( 1 Corinthians 3:12 1 Corinthians 3:15 ); the latter held fast the "foundation" ( 1 Corinthians 3:11 ), and, therefore, though they lose their work of superstructure and the special reward, yet they are themselves saved; the destroyers, on the contrary, assailed with false teaching the foundation, and so subvert the temple itself, and shall therefore be [ESTIUS and NEANDER]. I think Paul passes here from the teachers to all the members of the Church, who, by profession, are "priests unto God" ( Exodus 19:6 , 1 Peter 2:9 , Revelation 1:6 ). As the Aaronic priests were doomed to die if they violated the old temple ( Exodus 28:43 ), so any Christian who violates the sanctity of the spiritual temple, shall perish eternally ( Hebrews 12:14 , Hebrews 10:26 Hebrews 10:31 ).
holy--inviolable ( Habakkuk 2:20 ).
which temple ye are--rather, "the which (that is, holy) are ye" [ALFORD], and, therefore, want of holiness on the part of any of you (or, as ESTIUS, "to tamper with the foundation in teaching you") is a violation of the temple, which cannot be let to pass with impunity. GROTIUS supports English Version.
18. seemeth--that is, is, and is regarded by himself and others.
wise in this world--wise in mere worldly wisdom ( 1 Corinthians 1:20 ).
let him become a fool--by receiving the Gospel in its unworldly simplicity, and so becoming a fool in the world's sight [ALFORD]. Let him no longer think himself wise, but seek the true wisdom from God, bringing his understanding into captivity to the obedience of faith [ESTIUS].
19. with God--in the judgment of God.
it is written--in Job 5:13 . The formula of quoting SCRIPTURE used here, establishes the canonicity of Job.
He taketh . . . wise in . . . own craftiness--proving the "foolishness" of the world's wisdom, since it is made by God the very snare to catch those who think themselves so wise. Literally, "He who taketh . . . the whole of the sentence not being quoted, but only the part which suited Paul's purpose.
20. Quotation from Psalms 94:11 . There it is of men; here it is "of the wise." Paul by inspiration states the class of men whose "thoughts" (or rather, "reasonings," as suits the Greek and the sense of the context) the Spirit designated in the Psalm, "vanity," namely, the "proud" ( Psalms 94:2 ) and worldly-wise, whom God in Psalms 94:8 calls "fools," though they "boast themselves" of their wisdom in pushing their interests ( Psalms 94:4 ).
21. let no man glory in men--resuming the subject from 1 Corinthians 3:4 ; compare 1 Corinthians 1:12 1 Corinthians 1:31 , where the true object of glorying is stated: "He that glorieth, let him glory in THE LORD." Also 1 Corinthians 4:6 , "That no one of you be puffed up for one against another."
For all things--not only all men. For you to glory thus in men, is lowering yourselves from your high position as heirs of all things. All men (including your teachers) belong to Christ, and therefore to you, by your union with Him; He makes them and all things work together for your good ( Romans 8:28 ). Ye are not for the sake of them, but they for the sake of you ( 2 Corinthians 4:5 2 Corinthians 4:15 ). They belong to you, not you to them.
22. Enumeration of some of the "all things." The teachers, in whom they gloried, he puts first ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 ). He omits after "Cephas" or Christ (to whom exclusively some at Corinth, 1 Corinthians 1:12 , professed to belong); but, instead, substitutes "ye are Christ's" ( 1 Corinthians 3:23 ).
world . . . life . . . death . . . things present . . . things to come--Not only shall they not "separate you from the love of God in Christ" ( Romans 8:38 Romans 8:39 ), but they "all are yours," that is, are for you ( Romans 8:28 ), and belong to you, as they belong to Christ your Head ( Hebrews 1:2 ).
things present--"things actually present" [ALFORD].
23. ye are Christ's--not Paul's, or Apollos,' or Cephas' ( 1 Corinthians 11:3 Matthew 23:8-10 ). "Neither be ye called masters; for one is your Master, even Christ" ( Romans 14:8 ). Not merely a particular section of you, but ye all are Christ's ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 ).
Christ is God's--( 1 Corinthians 11:3 ). God is the ultimate end of all, even of Christ, His co-equal Son ( 1 Corinthians 15:28 , Philippians 2:6-11 ).

Bronchiolitis is a childhood disease that affects the lungs. It occurs when a virus enters the breathing system. The virus causes the tiny airways in the lungs to become swollen. As a result, a thick fluid called mucus collects in the airways. This makes it hard for air to flow freely in the lungs.
Bronchiolitis is caused by a virus. There are several different types of virus that may cause it. The viruses are easily spread from person to person like a common cold . It spreads most often through coughs or sneezes which release droplets of moisture into the air. Breathing in the air can cause the infection in a noninfected person.
Risk Factors
Bronchiolitis can affect anyone, but is most common in children under the age of 2 years old.
Other factors that may increase your risk of infection include:
- Season—winter months have highest risk
Factors that increase the risk in adults include:
- A weak immune system
- Exposure to toxic fumes
Children most at risk are those who:
- Were never breastfed
- Were born prematurely
- Are exposed to tobacco smoke
- Are often in groups of children (as in a day care) or live in crowded conditions
Symptoms of bronchiolitis occur in two stages:
During the first 2-3 days the child will probably have a:
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Slight fever
During the next 2-3 days, the symptoms increase to include:
- Dry cough
- Fever
- Sneezing
- Rash
- Red eyes
- Fast rate of breathing
- Difficulty breathing
- Wheezing—a whistling noise that is louder when breathing out
- Bluish color in the skin, especially around the lips or nails
- Poor feeding
- Restlessness
More serious symptoms may require care from your doctor. Call the doctor if your child:
- Is vomiting and can't keep liquids down
- Is breathing very fast—more than 40 breaths in one minute
- Has bluish skin, especially around the lips or on the fingertips
- Has to sit up to breathe
- Was born prematurely or has a history of heart disease
- Appears dehydrated
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your child's bodily fluids will be tested. This can be done with:
- A test of a sample of mucus from the nose or throat
- Blood tests
Images may be taken of your child's chest. This can be done with a chest x-ray.
There is no medication to cure viral infections. The infection will usually clear on its own after a week to 10 days.
Treatment steps will focus on making your child more comfortable. These steps include:
- Encourage your child to drink clear liquids.
- Use a vaporizer in the bedroom.
- If your child is coughing and very congested, consider sitting in a steamy bathroom. Run hot water from the shower. Sit in the bathroom with your child until the coughing eases.
- Do not smoke around your child. Keep your child away from smoke.
- Consider acetaminophen if a fever is present. Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye's syndrome . Ask your doctor which other medications are safe for your child.
- Your doctor may also prescribe an inhaled medication. This may include a bronchodilator or hypertonic saline. These medications can help open airways and ease breathing.
In severe cases, medical treatment may be needed. Your child may need to be admitted to the hospital.
There is no vaccine to prevent bronchiolitis. There are some medications that may lessen the risk of bronchiolitis by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) . RSV is a virus which causes more than half of all cases of bronchiolitis. This preventative medication is usually given to high-risk babies. It is given monthly during high risk RSV season.
Proper handwashing habits can help to prevent the spread of illness. Make sure to wash your hands before touching your child. Also wash your hands after being in contact with an infected person.
Bronchiolitis can spread easily from one person to another. Children should be kept home until they are well. Teach your children to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when they cough or sneeze.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (10/16/13) – Governor Steve Beshear joined local officials and top executives from TVA Tuesday to present a $435,000 ceremonial check to the Muhlenberg County Fiscal Court for improvements along Riverside Road near the TVA Paradise Fossil Plant in Drakesboro.
The large crowd in attendance included Ben Johnson, who was appointed CEO of TVA in January of this year, after the retirement of Tom Kilgore. The ceremony was held within several yards of the still gravel road, which makes for a bumpy commute for the many TVA workers and contractors who use it daily.Gov. Beshear stated, "This road improvement project is a crucial investment. The other access point is over 15 minutes away. Over time, heavy traffic volumes and congestion have eroded the quality of Riverside Road leading to the plant. The improvements made along this route will provide employees and contractors a smooth, safer commute to work."
The total cost of the project is expected to be around $535,000, according to Beshear.
Beshear went on to emphasize that TVA's Paradise plant generates around 14 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year, while employing around 400 people, at an average salary of around $74,000 a year. It's was a significant purchaser of 6.1 million tons of coal in 2012.
"I mentioned to Ben Johnson, that we are very interested in continuing to burn Western Kentucky coal here at this plant," Beshear said, to a thunderous applause from the crowd.
Concluding, the governor said, "I want to personally thank Muhlenberg Judge Executive Rick Newman, his staff and the county's fiscal court for making this all possible. Thanks to Ben Johnson, State Rep. Brent Yonts, and State Rep. Mary Jane King."
Next to the podium was State Senator Jerry Rhoads who represents Hopkins, Muhlenberg, and Ohio Counties, who stressed that, "The presence of such a large crowd, including those from surrounding counties, tells us how important TVA is... not just to Muhlenberg, but to Ohio, McLean and Hopkins Counties, and to the entire state. I want to congratulate and thank Judge Newman and his staff for going to Frankfort and stepping up to the plate. This may not seem like a huge project, but it's an important project." Rhoads said.
State Rep. Yonts opened his remarks by noting to Governor Beshear that, "This project demonstrates that we can do here in Kentucky what they can't seem to do in Washington, D.C. To find a problem and fix it!"
Yonts pointed out that last year the same was true with Highway 176. "I sent pictures of the bad conditions of that road to the governor and he instantly said 'We're going to fix it'. The state spent 1.1 million dollars fixing that road and we appreciate it," he said. "This project involves four governmental agencies, including the federal, state and local levels."
Yonts then focused his remarks on the visiting TVA dignitaries directly regarding the talk of switching part of the plant to natural gas, thus cutting back on the use of coal from the area.
"Burning coal, boosting the local and the state economy with clean, coal-fired cheap energy, TVA Paradise supplies electricity to over 1 million customers. It boosts local and state economies. It creates coal severance money for the counties in which the coal is mined. It sustains the middle class which is an objective frequently observed in Washington these days as a goal, but not seemingly paid much attention to." Yonts said. "TVA provides energy that is clean and cheap to around a million homes. That's what TVA's mission was years ago when it was created. TVA is now discussing the possibility of whether there will be bag houses on units at TVA, (Baghouses are fabric filters used on smoke stacks to control pollution) or to switch some units at Paradise to natural gas. There is a lot of folly in that. Once you change it's hard to go back. A good policy is to burn coal."
Yonts went on to note that clean coal methods have worked at the TVA Paradise Plant.
"TVA lowered the amounts of sulfur dioxide emissions in 2012 to the lowest level for decades, and lowered the nitrogen oxides to the same level. The failure in debating the emissions issue is Congress. They were supposed to have set carbon dioxide standards in 2012. They can't figure out what to do tonight or tomorrow, much less set the carbon dioxide standards. "
"TVA must install baghouses. If you don't you will be the source of the ruination of the economy of all of Western Kentucky," Yonts concluded to applause from the crowd.
"We appreciate Gov. Beshear and our state and local partners for taking action to improve this important route to Paradise Fossil Plant," said TVA President and CEO Bill Johnson. "This project will improve safety for our employees and the public who travel this road every day. TVA and our employees are proud to work and live here in Muhlenberg County, and we are grateful for this community's support."
"Muhlenberg County Fiscal Court is pleased to be a partner in this truly significant collaboration between governmental entities on the Riverside Road project," said Muhlenberg County Judge-Executive Rick Newman. "This is a county road which provides an alternate route for many employees of TVA saving them significant travel time to and from work and considerable improvement of safety factors on the route. We say 'Thank You' to the governor's office, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the TVA for being partners in this historic collaboration."
The estimated cost of the project is $535,000, to be shared equally by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Muhlenberg County Fiscal Court. KYTC will administer $435,000 to the fiscal court, which will be responsible for construction and remaining project costs. TVA will make some in-kind contributions, including gravel for shoulder work.
Completion is expected in early November 2013.
After the event, Yonts told SurfKY News that those who want to support TVA Paradise remaining a coal-fired plant can contact TVA at 400 West Summit Hill Drive, Knoxville, TN 37902, or phone 865-632-2101 and tell TVA to install baghouses at the Paradise Plant.

North Dakota's 2012 small game and furbearer regulations have been set and most season structures and bag limits are similar to last year. The only significant changes involve an increase in limits for the early Canada goose, mountain lion and fisher seasons.
The online application for North Dakota's 2012 tundra swan license lottery is available on the state Game and Fish Department's website, gf.nd.gov. The deadline for applying is Aug. 15.
Paper applications will be available the first week in August from Game and Fish offices, county auditors and license vendors. Hunters can also apply by calling (800) 406-6409. A service fee is added for license applications made by phone.
Much higher-than-normal July temperatures are stressing fish populations across the state.
Scott Gangl, fisheries management section leader for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said this summer biologists have documented fish kills in approximately a dozen water bodies throughout the state.
More hunting opportunities meant more pheasants taken during the 2011 season, as last fall's pheasant harvest was 683,000, up from 552,000 in 2010.
Aaron Robinson, upland bird biologist for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said the overall landscape probably didn't have more birds, but Mother Nature allowed for an increase in harvest due to mild weather conditions and minimal snow cover in November, December and early January.
An ongoing effort to monitor state waters for aquatic nuisance species has not produced any significant discoveries this year.
Fred Ryckman, ANS coordinator for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said only one limited infestation – curly leaf pondweed – was found at Lake Elsie in Richland County.
"There were only a few individual plants in Lake Elsie, and they likely are already dying back for the year," Ryckman said. "However, anglers and other water recreationists should take extra time to inspect, clean and drain equipment before leaving the lake."
Last year's historic flooding conditions caused a slight decline in fishing license sales, but it didn't keep anglers from wetting a line.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual angler survey revealed 137,000 resident licenses were sold last year, down 2 percent from 2010-11. However, angler participation and effort actually increased.
Greg Power, fisheries chief, said the small drop in license sales comes as no surprise as many of the state's water bodies were affected by high water in 2011.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department biologists recently completed the 2012 pronghorn population survey, which revealed the statewide population is 20 percent lower than last year. Therefore, the Game and Fish Department is recommending the pronghorn hunting season remain closed in 2012.
Bruce Stillings, big game supervisor in Dickinson, said the statewide population estimate has dropped to approximately 3,600 pronghorn. "Pronghorn in all four management regions decreased in numbers from last year and are well below population objectives," he said.
The North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education program is sponsoring a fur harvester education class in Bismarck, Dickinson and Jamestown for anyone interested in trapping or hunting furbearers.
The free 16-hour course is set for Bismarck Aug. 14 (5:30-9:30 p.m.), 16 (5:30-9:30 p.m.) and 18 (8 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the Game and Fish Department.
The class in Dickinson will be held at the Game and Fish district office on Aug. 25 and Sept. 1 from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The State Game and Fish Department is considering an option to increase the daily limit for the early Canada goose season from eight to 15, following recent action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regulations Committee.
North Dakota's spring pheasant crowing count survey revealed a 10 percent increase statewide compared to last year.
All four pheasant districts showed an increase compared to last year. The number of crows heard in the southeast increased by 12 percent, northwest by 8 percent, northeast by 6 percent and southwest by 4 percent.
Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor for the State Game and Fish Department, said birds did not experience excessive mortality last winter.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel, along with staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fish hatcheries, recently completed stocking 9.8 million walleye fingerlings in 113 lakes across the state.
Jerry Weigel, fisheries production and development section leader for the Game and Fish Department, said this year's walleye goal required exceptional production from nearly every hatchery pond in the state.

The Lord refuses to go with Israel. (1-6) The tabernacle of Moses removed without the camp. (7-11) Moses desires to see the glory of God. (12-23)
Verses 1-6 Those whom God pardons, must be made to know what their sin deserved. "Let them go forward as they are;" this was very expressive of God's displeasure. Though he promises to make good his covenant with Abraham, in giving them Canaan, yet he denies them the tokens of his presence they had been blessed with. The people mourned for their sin. Of all the bitter fruits and consequences of sin, true penitents most lament, and dread most, God's departure from them. Canaan itself would be no pleasant land without the Lord's presence. Those who parted with ornaments to maintain sin, could do no less than lay aside ornaments, in token of sorrow and shame for it.
Verses 7-11 Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp. This seems to have been a temporary building, set up for worship, and at which he judged disputes among the people. The people looked after him; they were very desirous to be at peace with God, and concerned to know what would come to pass. The cloudy pillar which had withdrawn from the camp when it was polluted with idolatry, now returned. If our hearts go forth toward God to meet him, he will graciously come to meet us.
Verses 12-23 Moses is very earnest with God. Thus, by the intercession of Christ, we are not only saved from ruin, but become entitled to everlasting happiness. Observe here how he pleads. We find grace in God's sight, if we find grace in our hearts to guide and quicken us in the way of our duty. Moses speaks as one who dreaded the thought of going forward without the Lord's presence. God's gracious promises, and mercy towards us, should not only encourage our faith, but also excite our fervency in prayer. Observe how he speeds. See, in a type, Christ's intercession, which he ever lives to make for all that come to God by him; and that it is not by any thing in those for whom he intercedes. Moses then entreats a sight of God's glory, and is heard in that also. A full discovery of the glory of God, would overwhelm even Moses himself. Man is mean, and unworthy of it; weak, and could not bear it; guilty, and could not but dread it. The merciful display which is made in Christ Jesus, alone can be borne by us. The Lord granted that which would abundantly satisfy. God's goodness is his glory; and he will have us to know him by the glory of his mercy, more than by the glory of his majesty. Upon the rock there was a fit place for Moses to view the goodness and glory of God. The rock in Horeb was typical of Christ the Rock; the Rock of refuge, salvation, and strength. Happy are they who stand upon this Rock. The cleft may be an emblem of Christ, as smitten, crucified, wounded, and slain. What follows, denotes the imperfect knowledge of God in the present state, even as revealed in Christ; for this, when compared with the heavenly sight of him. is but like seeing a man that is gone by, whose back only is to be seen. God in Christ, as he is, even the fullest and brightest displays of his glory, grace, and goodness, are reserved to another state.
Exodus 33:1-23 . THE LORD REFUSES TO GO WITH THE PEOPLE.
1. the Lord said--rather "had" said unto Moses. The conference detailed in this chapter must be considered as having occurred prior to the pathetic intercession of Moses, recorded at the close of the preceding chapter; and the historian, having mentioned the fact of his earnest and painful anxiety, under the overwhelming pressure of which he poured forth that intercessory prayer for his apostate countrymen, now enters on a detailed account of the circumstances.
3. I will not go up . . . lest I consume thee--Here the Lord is represented as determined to do what He afterwards did not.
4. when the people heard these evil tidings--from Moses on his descent from the mount.
5. put off thy ornaments--In seasons of mourning, it is customary with Eastern people to lay aside all gewgaws and divest themselves of their jewels, their gold, and every thing rich and splendid in their dress. This token of their sorrow the Lord required of His offending people.
that I may know what to do unto thee--The language is accommodated to the feeble apprehensions of men. God judges the state of the heart by the tenor of the conduct. In the case of the Israelites, He cherished a design of mercy; and the moment He discerned the first symptoms of contrition, by their stripping off their ornaments, as penitents conscious of their error and sincerely sorrowful, this fact added its weight to the fervency of Moses' prayers, and gave them prevalence with God in behalf of the people.
7. Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp--Not the tabernacle, of which a pattern had been given him, for it was not yet erected, but his own tent--conspicuous as that of the leader--in a part of which he heard cases and communed with God about the people's interests; hence called "the tabernacle of the congregation," and the withdrawal of which, in abhorrence from a polluted camp, was regarded as the first step in the total abandonment with which God had threatened them.
8. all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door--Its removal produced deep and universal consternation; and it is easy to conceive how anxiously all eyes would be directed towards it; how rapidly the happy intelligence would spread, when a phenomenon was witnessed from which an encouraging hope could be founded.
9-11. the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle--How would the downcast hearts of the people revive--how would the tide of joy swell in every bosom, when the symbolic cloud was seen slowly and majestically to descend and stand at the entrance of the tabernacle!
as Moses entered--It was when he appeared as their mediator, when he repaired from day to day to intercede for them, that welcome token of assurance was given that his advocacy prevailed, that Israel's sin was forgiven, and that God would again be gracious.
18-23. I beseech thee, show me thy glory--This is one of the most mysterious scenes described in the Bible: he had, for his comfort and encouragement, a splendid and full display of the divine majesty, not in its unveiled effulgence, but as far as the weakness of humanity would admit. The face, hand, back parts, are to be understood figuratively.

Students often paid their tuition with produce, but during the Great Depression, even payment-in-kind became difficult. Donations and tithes to the LDS Church also dropped significantly. On February 4, 1931, LDS Church President Heber J. Grant told educators and legislators that the church could no longer support its many academies. Either the state legislature would need to provide for Weber College, or the school would close in 1932.

Dear Grandmasters, Masters, Instructors and students:
Downey's Taekwon-Do, the International Taekwon-Do Federation of Newfoundland and Labrador (ITFNL), and the Canadian Taekwon-Do Federation International (CTFI) would like to welcome your participation in our International Instructors Course (IIC), which will be held at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) in the Physical Education Building Gym, in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (The oldest City in North America) on June 27,28, 29, 2014. The course will be conducted by the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) Technical Committee: Grand Master Hector Marano, Grand Master Wim Bos, and Grandmaster Ung Kim Lan.
The IIC is open to Black Belts only. My wife Cathy and I have been to several IIC's conducted by the above Grandmasters and each time we attend an IIC we always learn something new and come away with great memories and renew and build new friendships with other ITF Taekwon-Do members from around the world. Topics to be covered include patterns, self-defense, sparring, theory of power, and the "Do" or philosophy of Taekwon-Do. This IIC will be the second time that our City has hosted an IIC. The first time was in March 2001 which was conducted by the legendary founder of Taekwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi. At that time we had 9 countries attend the IIC. We look forward to once again welcoming our Taekwon-Do family from around the world.
For those of you that are not familiar with the City of St. John's you can go to the following web sites for further information including pictures and videos of our lovely City and Province: City of St. John's web site: www.stjohns.ca. and Newfoundland and Labrador, Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation: www.tcr.gov.nl.ca For a map of the venue (MUN Physical Education Building:Gym) and surrounding area: http://www.mun.ca/campus_map/stjohns/ For updates on the seminar visit www.kick.nf.net

- Prospectus TV
- UCL Open Day
UCL-IoE merger
UCL and the Institute of Education merged on December 2, 2014. Learn about the study options available to you.
Entry requirements
You are required to satisfy UCL's general entrance
requirements listed below as well as the specific degree programme
requirements outlined in programme descriptions.
We may issue conditional offers based on future examination performance; unless otherwise stated, any conditions for these must be fulfilled by 31 August 2015.
- A level & AS qualifications
- Extended Project
- International Baccalaureate
- GCSE and equivalent qualifications
Depending on the degree programme, UCL makes offers in the range A*A*A–ABB, plus a pass in a further subject at AS level. The requirements for individual programmes can be found on the subject pages of this Prospectus.
- A level General Studies and A level Critical Thinking will only be accepted as an alternative to the additional AS level subject that is required. We do not recognise AS level General Studies and AS level Critical Thinking for admissions purposes
- If you wish to study at UCL you should offer a minimum of two A level subjects from the list of preferred subjects. We are happy to accept any subject as the third A level you offer, provided the other two subjects appear on the approved list. If you are not able to offer two preferred subjects, you should contact the relevant degree programme contact (see subject entries in this Prospectus) to ascertain whether you can still be considered for admission. For a list of preferred A levels go to UCL undergraduate requirements.
If you have accepted a place at UCL and subsequently decline any of your A level or AS level results, you may render yourself ineligible to take up a place on a degree programme or, if you have already enrolled, liable to be deregistered from UCL.
If you are taking UK A
levels, we accept a pass in the Extended Project Qualification as an
alternative to the need for you to offer a pass in a fourth subject at
AS level.
normal requirement for admission to UCL is the award of the Diploma
achieved with good grades across individual subjects.
The standard
minimum requirement is 34 points overall, with a combined score of 16
achieved in three higher level subjects with no grade lower than 5.
However, many of our programmes have higher entry requirements than
this. You will find the requirements for individual programmes on the
subject pages of this Prospectus.
Comparing International Baccalaureate to A levels
programmes may specify up to two individual higher level grade
requirements. Where this is the case, a higher level grade of 6 is
specified as the equivalent of an A grade requirement at A level, and a
higher level grade of 7 is specified as the equivalent of an A* grade
requirement at A level. For example, a programme that requires grades
AAB at A level including grade A in Chemistry has an IB Diploma
requirement of 36 points with a score of 17 in three higher level
subjects including grade 6 in Chemistry, with no score lower than 5.
All programmes require GCSE or equivalent passes in English Language and Mathematics at grade C or higher. Some programmes require grades higher than C or additional GCSE passes in specific subjects, as outlined in the subject entries in this Prospectus.
Qualifications accepted as GCSE equivalents include the following:
- IGCSE at grade C or higher
- O level at grade C or higher
- Scottish Credit Standard Grade/Intermediate 2
- Hong Kong Certificate of Education (HKCEE) at grade C or higher
- IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at grades 4 to 7
- Malaysia Sijil Pelejaran (SPM) at grades 1 to 6
- Singapore/Cambridge GCE Ordinary level at grades 1 to 6
Foreign language requirement
encourages intercultural awareness in all its students, and considers
experience of learning a foreign language a vital element of a broad and
balanced education. UCL wishes to ensure that all of our graduates have
had some experience of exploring another culture through language – but
we are concerned to ensure that our admissions requirements do not
disadvantage those who did not undertake language study to GCSE or above
at school.
UK students who do not have a GCSE grade C or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) on admission to UCL will be required to acquire an equivalent level of language proficiency once they are enrolled with us. This will either be through study for a specially designed certificate at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education, or by taking a 0.5 CU (course-unit) course in a language as part of their degree programme.
Other qualifications
UCL accepts a number of other UK qualifications and a range of overseas qualifications including those listed below. Further details of these and other acceptable qualifications can be found at: www.ucl.ac.uk/otherquals
Applications from 'fast track' students
schools, both in the UK and overseas, fast track their students and
limit the number of examinations they take. As a result, you may not be
sitting some GCSE or equivalent qualifications. We will be pleased to
consider your application on its individual merits.

noun , often attrib \ˈha(ə)r, ˈhe(ə)r\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of HAIR
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Threadlike outgrowths of the skin. Babies shed a layer of downy, slender hairs (lanugo) before or just after birth. The fine, short, unpigmented hairs (vellus) then grow. Starting at puberty, terminal hair, longer, coarser, and more pigmented, develops in the armpits, crotch, sometimes on parts of the trunk and limbs, and, in males, on the face. Scalp hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are different types. The number of scalp hairs, which grow about 0.5 in. (13 mm) per month, averages 100,000–150,000. The hair shaft (above the skin) is dead tissue, composed of keratin. Only a few growing cells at the base of the root are alive. Hair is formed by cell division at the base of the follicle (a tiny pocket in the skin), part of a cycle of growing, resting, and falling out. Vellus lasts about four months, scalp hairs three to five years.

How many layouts (on average) do you usually make with a page kit?
none - I'm just a shop-aholic & have an incredibly large unused stash!
1 - Once I make a layout, I'm done with the kit
1 or 2 - I can usually find enough in the kit to make more than 1
3 or More - I want my $$'s worth!
How many layouts (on average) do you usually make with a page kit?
It often depends on the kit! Some kits I can make layout after layout with - Scrapkut's girly girl kit is a prime example! But, usually, its 1 or 2. As long as I get 1 LO out of the kit, I feel I have got my money's worth - one paper LO would cost far more than that to make!
Ditte what Joy said....worded wonderfully!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
At least 1-2 usually, but sometimes more. Very true though, 1 LO does give you your money's worth really.
I always make at least 2 from each kit, there have been some kits that I've done as many as 4 layouts with. Depends on what photos I have to use with the kits.
I use them several times..if I like them :) which is most of them....
kits I keep using over and over include Theresa's Dazzling, Jessica's Indian Summer, Doreen's Versatility(the name alone should tell folks they can get several layouts from it), Beckie's Sakura, the GDS collab kits(they are so big I could make several layouts and never repeat stuff anyway)...oh I could go on and on....my thing right now is I have so many kits I haven't used yet either... but I do have my favorites..and find I go back to them often.... but I do like to work with the new kits too......
it's not really about getting my money's worth because like Joy said, one layout and I've broken even compared to paper scrapping (and sometimes even cheaper because I was the queen of throwing away a paper layout and starting over when I really didn't like it)...for me it's a matter of coordinating my pages.. I've starting really liking 2 page layouts...like the one I did for family fun night with Shana's Groovin' page kit...they look awesome printed and next to each other in your scrapbook! ... I almost always did matching or coordinating pages when I paper scrapped...

mom to Katie and Lizzie
Actually it depends on the kit... When I really like a kit I can make more than 2 layouts...
Most times I make up to 2 layouts from one kit....
Most kits I use I get at least a couple of layouts from, then there are a few kits I find myself using again and again. Even though a have a bunch of kits that I have and like the looks of, but just haven't used yet. There is just too much good stuff out there! It is so wonderful that this is all digital and fits in the computer (well external drive) instead of all over my extra room, my huspand is happy about that as well! :o)
usually 1-2 layouts and I have LOADS of kits that I have never used...YET

A solemn fast. (1-3) Prayer and confession of sin. (4-38)
Verses 1-3 The word will direct and quicken prayer, for by it the Spirit helps our infirmities in prayer. The careful study of God's word will more and more discover to us our own sinfulness, and the plenteousness of his salvation; thus it calls us to mourn for sin, and to rejoice in him. Every discovery of the truth of God, should render us more unwearied in attendance on his sacred word, and on his worship.
Verses 4-38 The summary of their prayers we have here upon record. Much more, no doubt, was said. Whatever ability we have to do any thing in the way of duty, we are to serve and glorify God according to the utmost of it. When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed. The dealings of the Lord showed his goodness and long-suffering, and the hardness of their hearts. The testimony of the prophets was the testimony of the Spirit in the prophets, and it was the Spirit of Christ in them. They spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and what they said is to be received accordingly. The result was, wonder at the Lord's mercies, and the feeling that sin had brought them to their present state, from which nothing but unmerited love could rescue them. And is not their conduct a specimen of human nature? Let us study the history of our land, and our own history. Let us recollect our advantages from childhood, and ask what were our first returns? Let us frequently do so, that we may be kept humble, thankful, and watchful. Let all remember that pride and obstinacy are sins which ruin the soul. But it is often as hard to persuade the broken-hearted to hope, as formerly it was to bring them to fear. Is this thy case? Behold this sweet promise, A God ready to pardon! Instead of keeping away from God under a sense of unworthiness, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. He is a God ready to pardon.
Nehemiah 9:1-3 . A SOLEMN FAST AND REPENTANCE OF THE PEOPLE.
1. Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month--that is, on the second day after the close of the feast of tabernacles, which commenced on the fourteenth and terminated on the twenty-second ( Leviticus 23:34-37 ). The day immediately after that feast, the twenty-third, had been occupied in separating the delinquents from their unlawful wives, as well, perhaps, as in taking steps for keeping aloof in future from unnecessary intercourse with the heathen around them. For although this necessary measure of reformation had been begun formerly by Ezra ( Ezra 10:1-17 ), and satisfactorily accomplished at that time (in so far as he had information of the existing abuses, or possessed the power of correcting them) yet it appears that this reformatory work of Ezra had been only partial and imperfect. Many cases of delinquency had escaped, or new defaulters had appeared who had contracted those forbidden alliances; and there was an urgent necessity for Nehemiah again to take vigorous measures for the removal of a social evil which threatened the most disastrous consequences to the character and prosperity of the chosen people. A solemn fast was now observed for the expression of those penitential and sorrowful feelings which the reading of the law had produced, but which had been suppressed during the celebration of the feast; and the sincerity of their repentance was evinced by the decisive steps taken for the correction of existing abuses in the matter of marriage.
2. confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers--Not only did they read in their recent sufferings a punishment of the national apostasy and guilt, but they had made themselves partakers of their fathers' sins by following the same evil ways.
3. they . . . read in the book of the law--Their extraordinary zeal led them to continue this as before.
one fourth part of the day--that is, for three hours, twelve hours being the acknowledged length of the Jewish day ( John 11:9 ). This solemn diet of worship, which probably commenced at the morning sacrifice, was continued for six hours, that is, till the time of the evening sacrifice. The worship which they gave to the Lord their God, at this season of solemn national humiliation, consisted in acknowledging and adoring His great mercy in the forgiveness of their great and multiplied offenses, in delivering them from the merited judgments which they had already experienced or which they had reason to apprehend, in continuing amongst them the light and blessings of His word and worship, and in supplicating the extension of His grace and protection.
Nehemiah 9:4-38 . THE LEVITES CONFESS GOD'S MANIFOLD GOODNESS, AND THEIR OWN WICKEDNESS.
4. Then stood up upon the stairs--the scaffolds or pulpits, whence the Levites usually addressed the people. There were probably several placed at convenient distances, to prevent confusion and the voice of one drowning those of the others.
cried with a loud voice unto the Lord--Such an exertion, of course, was indispensably necessary, in order that the speakers might be heard by the vast multitude congregated in the open air. But these speakers were then engaged in expressing their deep sense of sin, as well as fervently imploring the forgiving mercy of God; and "crying with a loud voice" was a natural accompaniment of this extraordinary prayer meeting, as violent gestures and vehement tones are always the way in which the Jews, and other people in the East, have been accustomed to give utterance to deep and earnest feelings.
5. Then the Levites . . . said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God--If this prayer was uttered by all these Levites in common, it must have been prepared and adopted beforehand, perhaps, by Ezra; but it may only embody the substance of the confession and thanksgiving.
6-38. Thou, even thou, art Lord alone, &c.--In this solemn and impressive prayer, in which they make public confession of their sins, and deprecate the judgments due to the transgressions of their fathers, they begin with a profound adoration of God, whose supreme majesty and omnipotence is acknowledged in the creation, preservation, and government of all. Then they proceed to enumerate His mercies and distinguished favors to them as a nation, from the period of the call of their great ancestor and the gracious promise intimated to him in the divinely bestowed name of Abraham, a promise which implied that he was to be the Father of the faithful, the ancestor of the Messiah, and the honored individual in whose seed all the families of the earth should be blessed. Tracing in full and minute detail the signal instances of divine interposition for their deliverance and their interest--in their deliverance from Egyptian bondage--their miraculous passage through the Red Sea--the promulgation of His law--the forbearance and long-suffering shown them amid their frequent rebellions--the signal triumphs given them over their enemies--their happy settlement in the promised land--and all the extraordinary blessings, both in the form of temporal prosperity and of religious privilege, with which His paternal goodness had favored them above all other people, they charge themselves with making a miserable requital. They confess their numerous and determined acts of disobedience. They read, in the loss of their national independence and their long captivity, the severe punishment of their sins. They acknowledge that, in all heavy and continued judgments upon their nation, God had done right, but they had done wickedly. And in throwing themselves on His mercy, they express their purpose of entering into a national covenant, by which they pledge themselves to dutiful obedience in future.
22. Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations--that is, put them in possession of a rich country, of an extensive territory, which had been once occupied by a variety of princes and people.
and didst divide them into corners--that is, into tribes. The propriety of the expression arose from the various districts touching at points or angles on each other.
the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon--Heshbon being the capital city, the passage should run thus: "the land of Sihon or the land of the king of Heshbon."
32. Now therefore, our God . . . who keepest covenant and mercy--God's fidelity to His covenant is prominently acknowledged, and well it might; for their whole national history bore testimony to it. But as this could afford them little ground of comfort or of hope while they were so painfully conscious of having violated it, they were driven to seek refuge in the riches of divine grace; and hence the peculiar style of invocation here adopted: "Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy."
36. Behold, we are servants this day--Notwithstanding their happy restoration to their native land, they were still tributaries of a foreign prince whose officers ruled them. They were not, like their fathers, free tenants of the land which God gave them.
37. it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins--Our agricultural labors have been resumed in the land--we plough, and sow, and till, and Thou blessest the work of our hands with a plentiful return; but this increase is not for ourselves, as once it was, but for our foreign masters, to whom we have to pay large and oppressive tribute.
they have dominion over our bodies--Their persons were liable to be pressed, at the mandate of their Assyrian conqueror, into the service of his empire, either in war or in public works. And our beasts are taken to do their pleasure.
38. we make a sure covenant, and write--that is, subscribe or sign it. This written document would exercise a wholesome influence in restraining their backslidings or in animating them to duty, by being a witness against them if in the future they were unfaithful to their engagements.
