Adam Mansell, who will be judging at the National Science + Engineering Competition finals, to award the UKFT Textile Edge Prize, shares his thoughts on the textiles industry.
Textiles: A dead industry right? T-shirts from a supermarket, jackets from the internet. Where's the science in that? Where's the career in that?
According to a recent report, the technical textiles industry is worth about $127 billion [1]. And at the moment there are companies working on fabrics [2] that could help wounds to heal faster, clothing that can monitor your biometrics, fabrics that are self-heating, and garments that can reflect your mood or even work as a personal area network keeping you connected wherever you go.
How about a garment that can power itself from your own movement, while integrating tactical radios, GPS devices and smartphones? Or what about a garment that can seal a bullet wound or a bandage that can sense bacterial activity and respond by self-administering medication? Ever dreamt up a textile skin that will allow the data from our bodies to be fed directly to a computer?
All of these innovations are hopes for the future in smart textiles technology. But we're already seeing the benefits of the innovative research being carried out at a range of textiles companies.
Both Formula 1 cars [3] and the new Airbus [4] use technical textiles and carbon composites in the structure and chassis of the vehicles. This makes them more lightweight, stronger and safer [5] than more traditional materials, such as aluminium and steel.
Technical textiles even helped team GB win all those golds [6] – the cyclists used the latest technical textile in their shorts which helped them achieve those fantastic results.
Producing new, highly innovative technologies takes time and a lot of trial and error - not to mention money. It is a hugely interesting industry, with a vast range of opportunities for people with science and engineering skills.

New Jersey couple Brian Edwards and Tom Privitere were married in 2010, and at their engagement party, photographer Kristina Hill captured a tender moment between the two with the stunning New York City skyline as a backdrop. The photo was placed on Edwards' personal blog and the couple thought nothing of it until almost two years later, when the image suddenly and shockingly turned up halfway across the country in a political ad attacking gay unions.

Credits: Carmine Marinelli/QMI AGENCY
Doyle was trying to attain billing records for Dave Basi and Bobby Virk, who admitted to breach of trust and receiving benefits by trading confidential government information regarding the sale of BC Rail.
The petition was one of about 100 other indemnity deals Doyle's office was examining in hopes of performing a credible audit.
In his judgment B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman wrote: "The principle of solicitor-client privilege ... must be protected."
The decision disappointed Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, a former BC solicitor general, who quit the BC Liberals and used his own funds to successfully attain intervener status in the case.
Though disappointed by the decision, he says he understands and respects it.

I'd like to take a shot at arranging an online librarian Secret Santa. It's been a rough year for the national library community as a whole and I'd like to end the year with some holiday cheer.
So, here's the skinny:
I've set up a Google Documents form to collect information from interested individuals. With the advent of internet shopping, the least amount of information you need to share is an email address. (As a good librarian, I will not share any information with anyone but your gift giver. Plus, I will need to contact you to let you know who you are giving to.)
Let's make this a rousing end of the year success! Be sure to pass the word on this event! I will be making a Facebook event and tweeting on it as the days go by (I haven't thought of a clever hashtag yet).
Happy Holidays, whatever that holiday might be!
Thank-you Santa....I really liked my "Nanuuq" Polar Bear coffee mug!
Whoopee! This was fun Andy...that's for all your hard work!
Auntie Nanuuq >^..^<
Thank-you.....I think this is a wonderful way to reach out to us old lonely cat ladies!
Just a pity that the postal systems wouldn't work quickly enough for me to take part (here in the UK)

Ithaca Journal reports A report released last week demands the attention of our state Legislature and governor as New York moves forward in the digital age.
The report, "A Strategy for Openness: Enhancing E-Records Access in New York State," sets a game plan for the state to ensure New York's government documents are accessible to citizens as the state continues to produce information electronically.
The "Big Scrape": This Time, You're on Your Own: The "big scrape" of government web sites won't be happening this year. And watchers of government records collection are not happy.
The National Archives announced that they will not conduct an "open harvest" of federal agency web sites, as they did in 2000 and 2004. Each of those years, NARA "scraped" agency sites to record what those sites looked like and what information they contained at the end of a presidential term (the second Clinton and first Bush 43 terms). Now NARA is saying that they won't do such a chore in 2008.
The Engineer Research and Development Center and the Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) Library has prepared a Web page at: http://www.tec.army.mil/Burma in support of the U.S. Navy/U.S. Marines/U.S. Department of State relief efforts in Myanmar, the Southeast Asian country formerly known as Burma. Flooding in the Irrawaddy delta caused by Cyclone Nargis with winds of 120 miles per hour, hit Yagon, Myanmar, (formerly known as Rangoon) May 3, and devastated the country. Current estimates are incomplete, but it is thought that there are more than 22,000 deaths, more than 40,000 people missing, and almost one million people homeless due to the high winds and flooding.
These maps and documents concern the geology, hydrology and geography of the country, and help the disaster engineering teams plan for establishing the supply dumps, hospital locations, transportation bottlenecks, landing zones and other areas needed in the relief efforts.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is coming under fire for discontinuing its policy of taking a "digital snapshot" of all federal agency and congressional public Web sites at the end of congressional and presidential terms.
NARA, which until this year had collected a "harvests" of federal Web sites at the end of presidential and congressional terms, said in a recent memo that it would discontinue the practice at the end of George W. Bush's presidency.
Responding to congressional demands, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is re-opening libraries that the agency closed over the past several years. However, it appears that the content of the libraries will be more limited, and the facilities will be subject to stricter central supervision, raising concerns from critics about the role politics will play. The agency submitted the EPA National Library Network Report [PDF] to Congress on March 26. More @ OMBWatch.
The Environmental Protection Agency plans to reopen five closed libraries to the public by this fall, the agency said in a report last Thursday.
Three of the EPA's 10 regional libraries and two libraries at the agency's Washington headquarters were closed because of limited public use and resources being available online, EPA officials had said. The closings prompted criticism from lawmakers. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said he welcomed the EPA promise to again make all its libraries available to the public, but he cautioned that "important questions about how these libraries will be staffed remain unanswered."
FCW Reports The Environmental Protection Agency moved too quickly in closing some of its research libraries and may have lost some files as a result, government auditors recently testified before a House panel.
EPA's push to digitize its libraries led to the rushed closings, said John Stephenson, director of natural resources and environment at the Government Accountability Office in testimony March 13 before the House Science and Technology Committee's Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee.
From the Boston Globe: 'If the nation's first subway system had a wise old uncle, it was George M. Sanborn.
Mr. Sanborn, who died Saturday, spent hours holed away in the state's quirky transportation library - where he worked nearly four decades - rummaging through tattered public documents to figure out the history of a manhole cover, the origin of a train station, or the portion of Massachusetts law that required conductors to wear hats. He was 77.' He had a typewriter on his desk, and spent his spare time restoring old trolleys.
Gov. Easley's baffling misperception of the state public records law is one more bizarre moment in this troubling episode. He was willing to fire an employee for counseling Ms. Hooker Odom not to talk, yet he had so little regard for Ms. Hooker Odom's letter that he threw it away because he didn't consider it worth saving.
EPA Closure of Libraries Faulted For Curbing Access to Key Data A plan by the Environmental Protection Agency to close several of its 26 research libraries did not fully account for the impact on government staffers and the public, who rely on the libraries for hard-to-find environmental data, congressional investigators reported yesterday.

Dr. Ghobrial and her team have updated and refined the forms, information, and processes involved for the IWMF-funded research tissue bank reseach study...and we can all participate (and encourage our family and friends to participate also):
Ghobrial, Irene, MD – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA. (Project Period 9/01/10-8/31/14). $900,000. TITLE: "Large Scale Genomic and Proteomic Profiling in Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia"
Tissue banking is a strategy for collecting samples of normal and cancerous tissue from patients, along with epidemiologic information about their disease, their lifestyle, and their genetic background. This material is stored in a secure place in such a way that the tissue samples and questionnaire data can not be identified with particular patients, in other words, anonymous. This material is made available to qualified researchers so that links among tumor type, treatment history, lifetime exposure to carcinogen,s and genetic background can be explored by many different researchers on the road to developing a cure. Tissue banks have made important contributions to research on many major diseases, and we are now attempting to create such a research tool for WM.
Dr. Irene Ghobrial of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute has applied for and received a grant to create a tissue bank for WM and make it available to IWMF research grantees and other researchers. When the tissue bank is complete, she also hopes to use it to study the microscopic effect on the tumor cells of the various treatments that WMers use in order to link the effect on the tumor cells with the overall efficacy of the treatment. This will help us better to select treatments that are most effective against the patients' actual tumors.
I would urge you to consider participating in this research trial. All that is required is an initial blood and buccal cell (cheek scraping) sample and samples of tissue from bone marrow biopsies WHEN THEY ARE DONE AS PART OF YOUR NORMAL TREATMENT. No additional bone marrow biopsies are required from participants, aside from those required by your oncologist.
Please check out the instructions and forms provided by Dr. Ghobrial and consider joining many of us to make this WM Tissue Bank a successful tool for research.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is S'more!
Facts about S'more
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
S'more's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Looking for sugar overload? This sweet treat is just for you! Adorable S'more was found at a feral cat colony. S'more is very cuddly and looking for love. She won't sit still for a photo, but she's a great kitty anyway! :)
Other Pets at Whisker Connection
Why Adoption is a Great Option
S'more, a Centerburg Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Centerburg, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Centerburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Centerburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Centerburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Centerburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Translate this page Jury selection begins for Lake Elsinore man accused of shooting neighborWednesday, July 9th, 2014 Issue 28, Volume 18.
Kevin Ronald Fulkerson, 52, could face more than 25 years behind bars if convicted of the near-deadly attack on 59-year-old Steven Cook. Fulkerson is charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, as well as sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. He's being held in lieu of $1.1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Ronald Taylor summoned more than 100 prospective jurors to the Riverside Hall of Justice this morning for screening as to their qualifications and availability. Opening statements are expected today, with testimony likely to conclude before the end of the week. Sheriff's investigators allege Fulkerson shot Cook in the stomach on the afternoon of April 9. The two men lived adjacent to one another in a duplex in the 18100 block of Grand Avenue, according to the District Attorney's Office. During an April 24 preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that the defendant and Advertisement The defendant's girlfriend, whose name was withheld, apparently inserted herself into the exchange, further inflaming the victim, who began walking toward the woman, prompting Fulkerson to grab his sawed-off, 12-gauge shotgun from a living room table and blast Cook, who collapsed, according to prosecutors. The defendant then struck the victim on the head with the butt of the gun as the wounded man lay helpless on the ground, prosecutors allege. Neighbors called 911, and deputies arrived moments later, locating Cook on the ground, "delirious and muttering 'Kevin, Kevin"' according to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Strona. She said detectives detained and questioned Fulkerson, who "admitted to shooting (and) hitting Steven." "Defendant stated he told Steven to 'Just die, (expletive). Just (expletive) die!"' Strona wrote. Cook was taken to a Wildomar hospital, where he underwent surgery and eventually made a full recovery. Fulkerson was arrested without incident. According to court records, in 1991, he was convicted in Ohio of voluntary manslaughter and served a 17-year prison sentence. 1 comments

Ghost Hunting: Looking for Evidence of an Afterlife
There has been a surge in interest in ghost hunting and other paranormal research in recent years. There many new TV shows that focus on the afterlife, and even some reality TV shows that use techno-gadgets to track the activities of the dearly departed. Whether it's just macabre curiosity, or an actual desire to find proof of something that many people do not believe exist, people seem to be utterly fascinated with the afterlife.
Most people believe that there is some form of existence after death. For these people, it just doesn't make sense that the human consciousness, or soul, would just cease to exist after the body has died. Some people believe in heaven; an eternal, blissful place, where the souls of those who have passed over will never feel sorrow or pain again. Then, there is hell; a fiery pit, full of torturous demons, where those who did evil in this world will get their comeuppance. Some of these people also believe in a state of being between these worlds, a sort of limbo, between this life and the afterlife.
Many people, who have encountered what they would consider a ghost, or a ghostly presence, believe that these souls have stayed behind for some reason. Maybe they had some unfinished business and couldn't leave without seeing things put right. Some people think that certain spirits are bound to an area, either because of their past lives or because they died in a particularly gruesome way. Other people believe that if someone dies in a state of extreme emotion, whether it be grief, rage, or despair, that that certain emotion leaves an 'imprint' on the place of the person's death, and thus the 'haunting' may just be a distant memory of something that happened long ago.
The truth is no one really knows what happens when people die. This uncertainty is what fuels the urge to pry into what is often thought of as an 'off limits' topic. Most people shy away from talking about death. Being faced with one's own mortality is never comfortable. But, why do people fear death? Is it just the fear of the unknown? If we find out what happens to a person's 'being' after their heart stops beating and their brain stops functioning, would it make it any easier? Many ghost hunters are doing their best to prove that life doesn't stop when our bodies die. But, if they prove that people turn into embittered souls that can't let go of a grudge, wouldn't that be a worse fate than simply ceasing to exist?
Whether the countless stories of haunted houses and ghost sightings from around the world are real or not, the fact remains that, until the existence of an afterlife is proven or disproved, it will hold an immense fascination for a huge number of people. Everyone loves a mystery, and there is no greater mystery than the human soul and all its complexities. As far as science has advanced in recent years, it still has not come close to explaining even an iota of what's really going on in the universe. In time, humankind may come to a better understanding of the world we live in. But, until then, we can still enjoy the mystery and thrill of hunting down unexplainable phenomena and paranormal occurrences.

If I wanted to cook this for 50 people how much would I have to multiply the recipe by? I will only have the hind legs of the rabbits and what could I do with the livers???? There must be something I could use them for as part of the Entree?
This is the simplest possible rabbit stew, with a thin but very tasty juice.
Rate this recipe:- 30 mins
- 1hr 15mins
- 6
- 2 wild rabbits, skinned and jointed
- 250g salted pork belly or pancetta, cut into chunky cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, thickly sliced
- 3 large carrots, cut into 4cm lengths
- 4 celery sticks, cut into 4cm lengths
- 2 bay leaves
- A sprig of thyme, if handy
- 500ml cider
- 1 generous teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan.
Gently fry the pork belly until it is lightly browned and the fat runs.
Transfer the pieces of meat to a casserole but leave the frying pan on the heat.
Now brown the rabbit joints in the same pan, in batches, transferring them to the casserole as they are done.
Finally, sweat the onion in the same pan but do not allow it to colour.
Transfer to the casserole when soft and translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, bay leaves and thyme to the casserole. Push everything around so it is fairly tightly packed, then pour over the cider.
Add a little water if necessary to cover the meat.
Add the honey and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, at a very low, tremulous simmer, for about 1 1/4 hours, until the rabbit is completely tender (older, tougher animals will take longer).
You could cook it in a very low oven (120°C/Gas Mark 1/2), if you like.
Serve with plenty of the juice ladled over, with mashed potatoes or small macaroni or risoni (rice-shaped pasta).

A Joint Honours degree programme involves the study of two subjects to Honours degree level. If you study a subject in a Joint Honours programme, you work at exactly the same level and to the same academic standard as students taking that subject in a Single Honours programme. Joint Honours students are simply required to choose fewer topics from the range of options available in each half of the programme.

In this programme, you study half of your modules (60 credits) in English Literature and half in History of Art (60 credits).
First year
English Literature: The first-year literature foundation modules introduce students to a range of kinds and periods of literature, using a lively variety of critical and theoretical approaches. Modules include:
History of Art: The First Year serves as a foundation for the subject. Approaches to the History of Art introduces the methods and concepts employed in the study of art history. Other modules provide an outline of selected key historical periods and themes in the history of art such as Romanticism, Realism, the Renaissance, Modernism or the Enlightenment. Lectures and seminars are supported with study trips to galleries and current exhibitions in London or elsewhere.
The first-year modules include:
Additional information on first year History of Art modules
Second year
English Literature: In this year, you take modules that address topics in three major periods of English literature, and which are informed by theoretical as well as textual and historical approaches. You will study:
History of Art: The Second Year is structured to allow you to acquire greater depth by focusing a number of more specific subjects. You will have the opportunity to choose from a number of optional modules on themes or periods in the history of art. These are supported by a module on research techniques in the history of art as well as a study trip to a major artistic and cultural centre overseas, where you will have the opportunity to access works of art and architecture unavailable in Britain and to study them in situ.
The second-year modules include:
Additional information on second year History of Art modules
Third year
English Literature: The final year is the culmination of your programme, in which you choose two from a number of special option modules, taught by experts in those specialisms, and also undertake a dissertation in which you demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the issues in literature that you have been studying over the last two years. You study:
Literature Options available to final-year students have recently included: Ben Jonson; Chaucer: Pre-modern Writing and Post-modern Reading; Contemporary Irish Writing; Decadence and Aestheticism; English Reformed; ExtraOrdinary Bodies: Difference and Normalcy in Contemporary Literatures; Fantasy and Fandom; Gossip, Scandal, and Celebrity; Hardy and Wilde; Henry James; Literary Modernism; Literature and Politics in the 1930s; Literature, Sexuality, and the Body; Lyrical Ballads; Medieval Manuscripts; The Novels of Virginia Woolf; Paradise Lost: Text and Context; Viragos, Coquettes and Prudes; Voicing Women; Victoria's Secrets: Literature and Secrecy in the Nineteenth Century; The Works of T. S. Eliot; Utopia and its Discontents.
Not all third-year options run at all times: this information is offered for general guidance only. It may be necessary from time to time to vary timing, content and availability.
History of Art: In the Third Year you focus on a special subject, which you study in depth and detail. In addition you have the opportunity to develop your research skills in a short Dissertation, a 6,000 word piece of writing on a topic of your own choice.
Final year modules include:
Additional information on third year History of Art modules
In English you have an unparalleled opportunity, not only to engage with the materials of a broad and diverse cultural, textual and linguistic discipline, but also to develop skills in intellectual analysis, critical thinking and articulate expression. We believe that we are partners in learning with our students, and our programme is designed to ensure that you are a fully supported and an active learner.
Dr Daniel Moore delivers the 2014 undergraduate open day talk on studying English Literature at the University of Birmingham.
The Joint Honours programme in History of Art provides an opportunity to study in depth European and North American art and visual culture from the Renaissance to the present. You will examine them in their social, cultural and political contexts, employing a wide range of approaches; particular importance is given to the study of works of art at first hand, in order to provide a critical appreciation of them as material objects, and also to help you develop your skills of visual analysis. Much of the teaching draws on the collection of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, and this is supported by the rich resources available elsewhere in Birmingham, including Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, one of the major regional British art museums, and the IKON gallery, one of the leading galleries of contemporary art.

Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. At Birmingham we advocate an enquiry based learning approach, from the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, qualities that are highly sought after by employers. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we will enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions to workshops on a range of topics including note taking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
From the outset, you will be assigned your own Personal Tutor who will get to know you as you progress through your studies, providing academic and welfare advice, encouraging you and offering assistance in any areas you may feel you need extra support to make the most of your potential and your time here at Birmingham.
The Academic Writing Advisory Service (AWAS) will provide you with individual support from an academic writing advisor and postgraduate subject-specialist writing tutors. You will receive guidance on writing essays and dissertations at University-level which can be quite different from your previous experiences of writing. Support is given in a variety of ways, such as small-group workshops, online activities, feedback through email and tutorials.
Supporting you throughout your transition to University, offering research opportunities and study skills support and helping you develop and prepare for your post-University careers - our Arts and Law Student Experience Team strive to help you get the most out of your academic experience.
Study trips play an important part in the teaching on the programme. These include visits to galleries and museums in Birmingham and the West Midlands, as well as overseas group trips that are funded by the University. Recent destinations have included Rome, Berlin and Paris, and provide you with the opportunity to examine works of art and architecture in situ.
One-to-one tutorials become increasingly important as you progress through your course. This is particularly the case in your final year, when a major part of your programme will be a dissertation on a topic of your choice. Tutorials enable you to discuss your research with your project supervisor in depth.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You will be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations and formal exams (depending on your chosen degree).
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you will be given information on how and when you will be assessed for that particular programme of study. You will receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You will be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
The principal means of assessment for English are coursework essays and written exams.

Studying for an English BA at Birmingham is an unparalleled opportunity, not only to engage with a diverse cultural, textual and linguistic discipline, but also to develop skills in intellectual analysis, critical thinking and articulate expression – skills that last a lifetime and qualify you for many possible careers. You will also be encouraged to acquire practical skills that you will find just as useful in your future career, including oral presentation, professional documentation, group work and the uses of information technology.
50% of vacancies advertised for new and recent graduates don't specify a degree subject, and English graduates enter a wide range of careers including advertising, journalism and media, government, law, publishing and teaching at every level. About 25% of English graduates pursue postgraduate study to specialise in an academic area or prepare for careers such as law and teaching.
English graduates from Birmingham have a high rate for employability for the subject, and we are ranked in the top ten universities nationally for graduate employability. 93% of our English graduates go into work or study within six months of graduation. Our graduates have started careers with employers including the BBC, Headline Publishing Group, Mirror Group Newspapers and Oxford University Press, in roles such as account executive, editorial assistant, marketing assistant and sales and events coordinator.
Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal. This is a unique careers guidance service tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team who can give you expert advice. This includes individual careers advice and events to give you insight into the professions and employers of interest to arts graduates. Our 'Creative careers' series is always popular with our students, and features events with employers and professionals from areas such as advertising, PR and communications, careers in journalism, publishing and writing, and careers in the theatre.
We also hold events covering careers in teaching, event management, marketing and working with charities; we're developing links with local arts organisations to create some amazing opportunities for students; and you can even apply for our 'Global Challenge' to work overseas on an expenses paid placement during your summer vacation. We also encourage all our students to apply their skills in the workplace by undertaking internships in the summer; the work experience bursary scheme enables students to apply for funding for placements in those career fields where they are often unpaid.
[Video above - Dr Elizabeth L'Estrange discusses careers and employability during the History of Art open day presentation]
As a History of Art student you will have an excellent opportunity to develop skills that are highly prized by employers, including visual and textual analysis and interpretation, clear and effective writing, visual discernment, making opinions, and respecting the views of others even if you disagree with them.
The University of Birmingham has graduate employability rates for History of Art graduates above the national average and in the top 10 UK universities for the subject. Over 50% of job vacancies advertised for new and recent graduates don't specify a degree subject, and our graduates have gone on to highly successful careers in art galleries and other cultural institutions, as curators, researchers and administrators. Others pursue careers in auction houses and the art business, teaching, and in administrative and management roles for a wide range of employers. Some also decide to pursue graduate study in specialist art and cultural areas or professions such as teaching and law.
Employers of Birmingham History of Art graduates have included the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Bodleian Library, Cath Kidston, Historic Royal Palaces, The National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum. Examples of jobs they have taken up include Archivist, Assistant Curator, Curator of Fine Art, Gallery Coordinator, Programme Coordinator and Researcher.
Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal. This is a unique careers guidance service tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team who can give you expert advice. This includes individual careers advice and events to give you insight into the professions and employers of interest to arts graduates, and access to internships and job vacancies. Visiting speakers from institutions such as Christie's and Sotheby's, and events including 'Careers in Heritage and Museums' help History of Art students with their career ideas and choices. We also make work placement opportunities available to you in the University's Cultural Collections and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts.
To enhance your career prospects even further, you will need to think about engaging in some extra-curricular activities while you're at university to broaden your skills and your network of contacts. This can include the many societies at the Guild of Students and also the many voluntary opportunities offered with local arts organisations. Our employer-endorsed award-winning Personal Skills Award (PSA) recognises your extra-curricular activities, and provides an accredited employability programme designed to improve your career prospects.
Our College of Arts and Law undergraduate research scholarship scheme enables interested students to work on a current academic research project being run by one of the College's academic researchers. Undergraduate research scholars gain work experience over the summer after their first or second year and have the chance to develop skills in both collaborative and independent research.
Our innovative Cultural Internships offer graduates the opportunity for a six month paid internship at a leading cultural institution in the West Midlands. These internships are a unique opportunity to learn fundamental, transferable business and interpersonal skills, through experience of real work in an established cultural institution. Our current partners include Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, Birmingham REP, Birmingham Royal Ballet, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust and the Library of Birmingham. We have plans to expand the scheme to include our own major cultural assets, such as Winterbourne House, the Lapworth Museum, and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. This scheme will give you professional experience to set you apart in a competitive graduate market.
We also offer voluntary work which complements your studies by helping you gain practical experiences in occupational settings while contributing back to society. This can bring new skills that will be useful throughout your future and can make a positive impact on your learning whilst at university. Volunteering enables you to develop skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-confidence and self-discipline all of which can be transferred into your studies.
Your Birmingham degree is evidence of your ability to succeed in a demanding academic environment. Employers target Birmingham students for their drive, diversity, communication and problem-solving skills, their team-working abilities and cultural awareness, and our graduate employment statistics have continued to climb at a rate well above national trends. If you make the most of the wide range of services you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.

text: By Ashlene Ferris Staff Intern WESTFIELD Pedal for hope on the road to a cure. The Cancer House of Hope will host its eighth annual Heidi's Chain of Hope Bike Ride on May 17. The Cancer House of Hope, a Westfield- and Springfield-based non-profit organization, provides group support for people with cancer as well as their families and friends. Beth Thurber, coordinator and eight-year veteran of Heidi's Chain of Hope, said that although the bike race is on the smaller side overall, the riders are still able to raise money for a wonderful cause. "It's a local ride and a lot of the same bikers come back every year, along with new ones who want to be a part of this experience," she said. "It's a really good feeling knowing you're helping people and their families. Even if it doesn't affect you personally there's something everyone can do to help." Riders can choose from three different routes: 10, 25 or 50 miles. Each route is supported with rest stops along the way offering food, drinks and bike mechanics. Cheryl Gorski, executive director of the Cancer House of Hope, said fundraisers such as this are vital to maintaining services. "We provide a place for people to come and connect with other people who have cancer to find comfort, compassion and hope from one another and their families and friends," she said. "Non-profits are looking to maintain in this tough economy, and you can't depend solely on one source of funding because if you want to ride out the storm you have to get creative," Gorski continued. The registration deadline for Heidi's Chain of Hope Bike Ride is May 13. The registration fee for adults 17 and older is $25, in addition to a $200 minimum pledge amount. Registrants 16 and under must pay $10 in addition to $100 minimum pledge amount. If registering on the day of the event the fee will be $30. A free T-shirt will be provided to the first 75 entries received. All three rides start and finish at the Cancer House of Hope, 86 Court St. in Westfield. All riders are treated to a cook-out with music and chair massages after the ride. The top three fundraisers will receive a prize. For more information or for registration forms, call 224-1328 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Maybe Cupid's arrow just isn't as effective this year or people aren't as willing to splurge on flowers and chocolates, but less Americans will be celebrating Valentine's Day this year.
The National Retail Federation says 54 percent of Americans will mark the holiday, which is down from 60 percent last year. But those who are celebrating all things love are spending more. On average, they will spend $133.91 on candy, cards, gifts and dinner, which is up $3 from last year.
It's no wonder businesses cherish Valentine's Day – all that gift giving turns into some serious cash! Americans are expected to spend just more than $17 billion on loved ones.

Hydroponics DIY: How and Why to Grow Indoors
For all you gardeners out there, you know the frustrations of growing outdoors: the unrelenting heat withers your plants and makes it almost impossible to enjoy working in your garden, the weather can change in the blink of an eye, bringing a heat wave or torrential downpours, or that giant garden spider that's made itself nice and cozy around your Rosemary bushes.

Kazim Ali is a poet, novelist, essayist, and founding editor of Nightboat Books. He is the author of three volumes of poetry and two novels, including The Far Mosque (2005), The Disappearance of Seth (2009), and Bright Felon: Autobiography and Cities (2009). Ali is an assistant creative writing professor at Oberlin College in addition to teaching for the Stonecoast MFA program.
Ana Božičević was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1977. She emigrated to NYC in 1997. Her first book of poems is Stars of the Night Commute (2009), a Lambda Literary Award finalist. Her fifth chapbook, Depth Hoar, will be published by Cinematheque Press in 2010. With Amy King, Ana co-curates The Stain of Poetry reading series in Brooklyn. She works at the Center for the Humanities of The Graduate Center, CUNY.
The Next Word in Poetry program was initiated in 2003 to present emerging poets whose work heralds a dynamic new era in contemporary poetry. In February 2011 the Poetry Center presents two pairs of New Word poets to read and engage in conversation with one another concerning their literary interests and influences. Kazim Ali and Ana Božičević will read at the UA Poetry Center on Thursday, February 24 at 8 p.m.
In Kazim Ali's Bright Felon: Autobiography and Cities and Ana Božičević's Stars of the Night Commute, a long journey is necessary to arrive at the issues central to the poems. Ali and Božičević in very different styles and for very different reasons, speak indirectly about their subjects, circling around through language, time, and space. Both collections are full of wandering, searching and experiencing, and both writers carefully reveal speakers who are fully fleshed and rich in experience.
Bright Felon is an autobiographical account of a period of Ali's adult life spent in six different cities over five years. The narrative progresses backwards from the present into the past, and as Ali moves farther back in time, we begin to understand why things in the present are what they are. "I use the present to understand the past is not finished," Ali writes. Not only the past in unfinished, but also the self, he finds. Ali's long, prose-y lines capture his struggle with his sexuality and Muslim heritage, the tension of being always "on the verge of saying" the truth to his family.
Ali's poetry is additionally remarkable for its attention to poem as construct. Bright Felon isn't a secret confession; it's an object that was intended for the world to see and interact with. Ali writes, "picture this writing if you like as a sculpture," and indeed this is an apt description for a work that is undeniably multi-dimensional. For Ali, poetry is the "body's urge," and language is a necessity. Beautifully lyrical--"Struck the sun sinking, the trees amber, ember of flowers, the membrane of skin"--his language at the same time seems somehow conversational. Even as Ali circles around his subject matter, he speaks directly to the reader, prompting self reflection and a self-discovery that is perhaps impossible: "I have to tell you the most amazing thing. / You really don't know yourself so well."
In contrast to Ali's long lines and prose-y style, Božičević's writing is harsh edged and full of strong emotions and beliefs confronted head on. While Ali's writing flows smoothly, slipping around ideas and images, Božičević's writing strikes vehemently, packing together images and experiences into a brief space with forceful language. Stars of the Night Commute is a collection of short sequences, several of which Božičević has published previously as chapbooks. Like Bright Felon, travel through both space and time is a major theme. Throughout the short sequences, the speaker explores relationships with several major characters and in the process indirectly reveals the speaker's character to the reader.
While Božičević writes forcefully and uses words in surprising ways-- "nautilus motions / sketch an inside future all over the something-something"--she rarely presents a clear and direct picture of any one experience, instead giving the reader a sense of what is happening without allowing us to know exactly what it is she describes. Although this can be somewhat disconcerting and even confounding at times, Božičević's writing sweeps the reader along in its energy and emotion. For Božičević, words are not something to be worried over, but rather something that explodes artlessly outwards from the self, and this is the greatest strength of her collection.
For both Ali and Božičević, indirection plays an important role in allowing their writing to convey emotion and struggle. In Bright Felon, Ali's recollection of his journey to come to terms with himself skirts around the central issue of how sexuality constitutes a major part of the self. In Stars of the Night Commute, Božičević uses strong, direct language that skirts sense, leaving us to try to understand her meaning by pulling apart her rapid, vigorous images. Through both collections, Ali and Božičević demonstrate the power of indirection to speak to the difficulties of experience, self, intellect, and emotion.

0Mar 9, '12 by abalone, BSN, RNYesterday Dora Wang sent the following email out. (Program Coordinator for Pre-Licensure Programs, School of Nursing Academic Services)
"You may have seen that we sometimes offer a couple of the required courses during Summer Quarter so that you may take them then and lighten your course load during the regular school year. Please note that two such courses, NURS 404 and NMETH 403, are NOT going to be available this summer. This means that you will need to take them during the regularly scheduled quarters. NURS 404 is taken Spring Quarter, and NMETH 403 during your senior year. So make sure to register for NURS 404 along with the rest of your Spring Quarter courses!"
0Mar 10, '12 by JLoya, BSNThat would be just fine with me... The clinical assessment is 5 credits that I wouldn't have to take during the first quarter. Yes please and thank you.
It would have been nice to get the 404 out of the way and slightly ease the spring qtr load, Oh well.... -

Have you tried Hystersisters? I know it is technically for women who have had or are considering a hysterectomy but there is a ton of support there for menopause, as well. I'm also fairly certain they have blogs there, too. It would be worth checking out. |

Sox' Peavy likely to make rehab start Sunday
Daryl Van Schouwen firstname.lastname@example.com July 9, 2013 9:34PM
The facts: 6:05 p.m., CSN, 670-AM, 97.5-FM.
The starters: Dylan Axelrod (3-5, 4.97 ERA) vs. Rick Porcello (5-6, 4.97).

Updated: July 10, 2013 12:02AM
DETROIT — As much as Jake Peavy wants to avoid a minor-league rehab start, it's not a realistic wish for the White Sox right-hander.
Peavy, who tested the healing rib on his left side in a simulated game Tuesday afternoon at Comerica Park, came away feeling well and likely will pitch in a minor-league game Sunday, not in Philadelphia on the last day before the All-Star break as he had hoped. Manager Robin Ventura didn't rule out a second rehab start just to be safe.
"We took a step in the right direction. No pain,'' said Peavy, who is recovering from a fracture. "The biggest thing is arm strength, trying to work it back. I thought the stuff was a step up from where it was in the bullpen [last week], and that's exciting for me.''
Peavy was pleased with the feel he had for his pitches and command. With the Sox far from contention, Peavy is a candidate to be dealt. He has said that he'd welcome a trade to a contender, and that could happen if he returns to health.
"It's tough being hurt and being on the [disabled list],'' he said. "It's the worst spot on the roster you can be in. It's extremely tough when your team is struggling. You feel so helpless.''
A new wrinkle
Dylan Axelrod, who is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in his last seven starts after going 3-0 with a 4.32 in his previous three, felt encouraged by his bullpen session between starts. Axelrod worked on commanding pitches better in the lower part of the strike zone, and he experimented with varying speeds on his curve.
"I want to get back out there after that last one,'' said Axelrod, who gave up five runs and nine hits in 12/3 innings Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. "I'm excited about the challenge against a good team [Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers].''
Axelrod is 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA lifetime against the Tigers.
Phegley 4-for-5
Josh Phegley started for the fourth time in five games since being called up. Ventura batted him ninth against Justin Verlander. Catcher Hector Gimenez, who was designated for assignment when Phegley was called up, accepted an assignment to Class AAA Charlotte.
Crain's business
All-Star Jesse Crain (shoulder strain) played catch for the first time since going on the DL. Crain said he felt OK, adding it was too soon to know if he'll be ready to come off the DL when he's eligible.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture in the skillet and flatten with a spatula into a disk roughly 3 inches in diameter. Form as many latkes as you can in the pan without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and potato mixture.
Exchanges: 1 starch, 1/2 fruit, 1 1/2 fat Carbohydrate Servings: 1 1/2 - Serve the latkes with the seasoned applesauce.
