OAKLAND -- The sound of conversation and soft laughter wafted through Frank H. Ogawa Plaza on a mild Saturday morning. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters wrote and colored on large placards. It could have been a play date, or a child's birthday party.
It was billed as a "Moms March," a peaceful gathering to urge a federal investigation into the death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The sign-making was followed by a short walk to the Oakland Federal Building, where the Moms March met up with the Student March For Peace and Justice. Together the groups staged a nonviolent demonstration as part of the Rev. Al Sharpton's "Justice For Trayvon" National Day of Action.
"I'll show you what brings me here," said Sweet Grass Longhouse, a retired teacher and grandmother from Berkeley as she pulled out a photo of her grandson Canon Christian Jones II.
"He was shot and killed in Alabama (in 2007) because there are just too many guns," she said.
Her grandson, an 18-year-old African-American Berkeley High School graduate, was a freshman at Tuskegee University. He was walking to a convenience store on a Sunday night when he was gunned down.
"This is a concern," Longhouse said. "The president spoke to it yesterday, about the violence in the African-American community itself and especially the young men."
Not far away, Oakland resident Marcelle Poulos was coloring a placard as her 8-year-old son, Fred Hughes, looked on.
"I feel frustrated with the outcome of the (George Zimmerman) trial, and I just feel like it's important that people exercise their right to protest," she said. "I think it's good to set this example for my son as well, that he knows about this and that not everybody has the same privileges. He should be aware of that."
The Moms March participants walked and chanted down 14th Street, then turned left at Clay Street. Combined with the student demonstrators, they comprised a group of about 200 people.
The first speaker there urged the crowd, "Let's not let any violence take place in Oakland today or tonight. No graffiti. No broken windows."
"I want the action to be peaceful," Longhouse said. "Last year, (the Occupy protests) began peaceful. Anarchists, they move in on things, and then you have two things happening."
Anarchy wasn't a problem early in the demonstration at the federal building. But hearing was. A balky bullhorn and a pair of TV news helicopters drowned out the speakers early in the demonstration.
The crowd chanted, "Peace on the street!" And later, "Respect our city!" Some cars driving past the scene honked their horns in support.
Approximately two dozen uniformed Oakland police officers stood on the periphery of the crowd. One, with the help of a telescoping pole, took video of the scene.
The civility waned when Oakland Mayor Jean Quan tried to address the crowd. The mayor was booed and heckled by a small handful of onlookers, who were angrily shouted down by others.
Los Angeles and San Francisco were among other California cities to hold rallies associated with the National Day of Action. Sharpton appeared at a rally in New York, where Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, spoke.

Andriy Krystiyan, or A K for short, has come to England from the Ukraine. A K is a philosopher (at least that's what he claims to be), a poet, and an authority on all aspects of life. At the same time, he is following his grand plan to become an international star. Global stardom is how A K describes the goal that he and his band Gogol Bordello are pursuing with their particular brand of boisterous gypsy punk. For the time being, however, he makes ends meet by performing role play in women's clothing for straight married men. A K shares a flat with two young women named Juliette and Holly. Juliette dreams of being a kind of Florence Nightingale of the developing world. She is currently working behind the counter at the local drug store run by Sardeep, the Indian chemist. Holly is a trained ballerina. Her big dream is to dance with the Royal Ballet. So far she hasn't been able to earn a single penny with her dancing, and continues to 'polish' her skills as a pole dancer at Beechman's Exotic Gentleman's Club.

Gm Razor |
There are spirits that haunt the young man, as to what reason I do not know. Only he would. There is a great power around you young one. Both gifts yet some might call a curse. Use them wisely and you can grow to be great in power and knowledge. She nods to them. Now what have you come to ask a witch like myself?
Gm Razor |
The man looked up, aye...that night was a cold bad night. I remember it so clearly. I has finished working in the forge late at night making a weapon fit to deliver to the Prince. It was my finest work yet and with it nearing his birthday I was to travel and deliver it. There was some sounds a little outside of town. Several men arrived in dark cloaks on horses. They cut down several men were they stood before entering in the cathedral. Shortly after that I entered shortly after that to see what I could find. I went down the four floors that we have and when I got close to the catacombs I heard some dark demonic chanting as thought they were trying to summon something. I went deeper against my better judgement. There was one that seemed to be dictating the others on what to do. he seemed like a powerful mage. I ran back as fast as I could not thinking that they would cause hell to break loose. Also I would thank Ye greatly if it is found. Griswold replies.
Ah, yes the evil that lurks with-in. It has been caused by some powerful mages from what I can tell. The dark magic that lingers in this town has risen over time, it is obvious that there was something here to begin with that would call them to unleash their leader. They would need some host to call upon one of the great evils...Diablo Lord of Terror. It seems that he is coming from the depths of this place and when he breaks out all hell will break loose and Tristram will be lost forever. Unless someone can stop it and host the Lord of Terror in his or her Body. The witch has obviously been well versed in the dark arts over the years of using magic.
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
The leather-clad man's eyes grow wide and whatever small amount of color he had in his cheeks pales away. He opens his mouth to say something, but can't make a sound. Turning his head, he glances back at the tavern. Don't even bother. There's not enough booze in this whole damn town for this one.
Looking back to the blacksmith, he smiles weakly, mutters a quick thanks, does an about-face, walks right up to the fountain (filled with foul-looking and -smelling water), and dunks his head. Submerged, nobody can see the look of abject horror on his face or hear his hollered epithets, curses, and panicked, terrified screams. The only indication of his outburst is a violent bubbling of the water that lasts for several seconds. Finally, the man pulls his head out and leans casually against the fountain. Water streams down his face, soaking his clothes, and he shivers violently as another breeze picks up, feeling all the more frigid for being wet. Sighing deeply, he uses his cloak to towel himself off a bit. Leaning his back against the fountain again, the dampened raven ruffles his feathers and gazes at the moon.
S$@%! S!!+shitshitshitshit! S$!!shitshit s$#&shit!
Cloaks? Check. Chanting? Check. Creepy underground locale? Check. That's all the confirmation I need. Only problem is, it sounds like this is the work of a cabal, not one lone mage. And that's a really, really big problem.
To understand the magnitude of the problem that a cabal poses, there are some things about magic that you need to understand. Firstly, magic is powerful. One mage on his own can rain down fire from the sky, open the ground underneath you, summon a demon, and teleport far, far away. And he can do this in a span of about a minute. But that's fine; you can subdue a mage, and then he can't do anything. But a group of mages working together can be much more effective at defending themselves, even ignoring all of the extra firepower. You take one down, three more are throwing lightning at you, creating ethereal cages to trap you, and healing the one you just took down, all at the same time. Aside from that, mages working in tandem can perform feats of magic that can completely rupture the fabric of existence. Two mages casting individually can produce two demons. Two mages cooperatively performing a ritual can summon a single, reasonably powerful demon. I'm not talking imps here, I mean like one of those bastards with a name and everything, like Gorbacz the Vile-Tongued. Three mages? Now we're talking semi-permanent portals to Hell.
I'm not the smartest guy in the world, I'm really not. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that mo' mages means mo' problems. And Tristram? You've got a whole lot o' problems, or my name's -- wait for it -- Jim-Bob Malkowitz.
Gm Razor |
It is a old stone that mages who worshiped the lords of terror would carry with the right vessel and magic they can summon the Lord of Terror. I do not know much for this is dark magic I do not dabble in naturally. [/b]
The color drain for the elderly mans face The Butcher...Lazarus setting a trap...that does not seem possible. He was the kings most trusted servant and friend. I would tell you to arm yourselves as best as possible before entering the cathedral if what you said is true then you may very well be fighting for your lives.
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
Was hoping I would get some response fom all that, but oh well. I'll try and keep it moving.
Hearing the conversation drifting from the other side of the fountain, the man breaks from his reverie. Taking a few steps around to join the conversation, he interjects. "What's this about Lazarus and a butcher?" Were the baker and the candlestick-maker in on it too?
Emilio Cross |
Turning his attention to Rasmus, Emilio retells what he and Lanfearon found at the entrance to the Cathedral.
"Does any of this make sense to you? And I didn't catch your name."
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
The raven-haired man listens to the story, frowning deeply. He shakes his head in frustration as he tries to piece it all together.
In response to the question, he answers, "I never gave it, same as you. The name's Rasmus." Shivering again, he draws his cloak around him tightly before laying out the the information his investigation has uncovered. "What you're telling me... I don't understand how it all fits together. The barkeep went on about men attacking in the night, and about the Archbishop disappearing into the labyrinth with the prince. The blacksmith says he followed the attackers down into the labyrinth and witnessed a summoning ritual. Now some bloody carcass of a man says that the Archbishop was laying a trap? It doesn't add up to me. But we know one thing for sure: there are demons in the church. And that seems like a good place to start. I'm with Four-Arms. But if we're all planning on going, we may as well wait for the others. I don't know about the rest of you," he says, now addressing the old man and the burnt fellow as well as the Zakarumites, "but I need to warm up. I'm going back to the tavern."
Without waiting for a response, Rasmus heads off for the tavern in search of a warm fire.
By the way, should I roll a Fortitude save or anything for the water? I know it's tainted, but I'm not sure if there's a mechanical effect associated with it.
Gm Razor |
A dc 13 for should work, it would have a small con drain effect, of 1d3 and only one save is needed.
I buy any magical trinkets, the healer buys potions or sorts, and the blacksmith takes care of everything else. You could try to sell to the child but he would probably give you less for your buck.
Emilio Cross |
Swallowed a bit too much water, eh Rasmus?
Emilio follows suit. After returning to the Tavern, he sets himself up by Rasmus. "The name's Emilio. If it isn't too much to ask, would you join us in cleansing this town of its problems?" Looking at Rasmus shiver, he makes another offer. "I could cure you of your cold, if you'd like. It's one of my duties as a Cleric."
Lessor Restoration will remove up to 1d4 of that Con damage you took. Hopefully it'll get rid of at least 2 points so you get your health back. And don't worry about my spell slots. I've still got two more spells after that one.
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
It would seem so. Of course, I doubt that the illness has had much time to take hold yet. I'll refrain from accepting the offer of healing for the moment; at the moment it's just a little too metagamey, and aside from that, I'd much rather suffer the effects in-character for awhile. The effect of me dunking my head in tainted water should be that I'm a bit sick, not that the cleric is down a spell; I feel like those should be saved for situations where the damage is not self-inflicted. I appreciate the offer, though.
Rasmus, sitting as close to the fire as he can, looks up at the approaching cleric. He shivers and sniffles a little, rubbing himself to aid his efforts to get warm. "It's just a little chill's all. No need to waste your Light on that." At least I hope it's just a chill. That stunt wasn't my brightest move, was it? "It seems that we all share the same goals, regardless of our motives. I'll accompany you in this quest, Zakarumite. Those responsible for this blight have offended the Light and forsaken the teachings of Horazon. They must be put to death. But it won't be easy," he says, shaking his head slowly.
Aylya Lafina |
"The Inn, we need others if we re to fight below"[b]
is all the little elf says as she walks to the Inn, going in she finds Rasmus and Emilio talking.
She walks over to them.
[b]"Aylya, will you be fighting the evil her, if so I would help"
"That is it little one, we need them"
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
We won't really need a map until it gets to tactical combat time, and that'll take forever anyway.
Rasmus looks up at the fearsome, four-armed woman with a mixture of curiosity and revulsion on his face. "You sure you wouldn't rather have...stew...or something?" Zakarum is even weirder than I remember.
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
Rasmus opens his mouth as if to say something, but finds no words. Instead he merely stares at the unsettling woman for a moment, his mouth gaping, before turning his head back to Emilio and promptly changing the subject. "So what brings you to Tristram? Are you here on church business, or are you investigating on a personal whim?"
Emilio Cross |
Emilio takes a place by the fire to warm himself some as well.
"Yeah, this is mostly church business. I've never actually been outside my home town before, so this is a very new experience for me." He looks at his holy symbol as it glistens in the light of the fire. "After I devoted my life to Iomade (or Zakarum as you say) I had to give up a few things. I feel as though it gave me a better outlook on life, but I still miss them..."
His thoughts drift until he snaps out of it. "Oh, sorry. I sometimes loose track of time."
Aylya Lafina |
Aylya comes back into the inn with Dorian, she sees the others and walks over to where Emilio has taken a place.
"There is a stone that lets ones with magic call evil into the world Diablo Lord of Terror, who needs a body of a blood line or this stone to give him form, any use to you Cleric?"
Gm Razor |
Your teachings of the church told you about such a thing but the most you can recall is that the stone is a dark, dark thing that is not of this world that would mean the ends of times to wherever it is used. You also know that diablo is one of multiple lords of terror, but not the exact number.
DC was 15 to get the full facts so close
Dorian's Spirit Guardian |
"I say we take a bath! You stink, Dorian!" says Locke.
"One: You do not have a nose. Two: that's not a very nice thing to say." says Linde.
"Well... naturally..." replies Locke.
"You know the real reason why, but you just don't want to say it, right?"[b] asks Lleu.
[b]"Ehahahaha!!!!" cackles Gwendal.
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
I only keep saying Zakarum as an in-character interpretation. The GM hasn't actually addressed how the Golarion elements are reflected within the realm of Sanctuary, so I'm doing the best I can to fill it in on my own, at least as far as my character's reactions go. At this point, given his lack of ranks in religion, Rasmus is going to make assumptions; for example, he assumes that Iomedae is a saint in the Zakarum religion. I've already got plans for Aylya when the time comes...
Rasmus turns at the sound of the creaking door opening. The strains of the ever-repeating song drift in, bringing with it two of the other strangers, the chilly girl and the unremarkable-looking kid. Once again, he finds himself gaping with incredulity, this time at the girl with her utterly casual claims regarding the Lord of Terror.
Knowledge: Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Crazy four-armed Zakarumite talking about eating sin, crazy ice girl talking about legendary demon lords? What's next?! I don't even think I have it in me to come up with some weak joke to hide my complete and utter dread! This job just keeps going from bad to worse! Here I am, waltzing into Tristram, thinking it's just going to be an open-shut case of rogue magery. Nope, more like the workings of a cabal. No, Rasmus, actually it turns out that you were basically being sent to your painful, horrifying death at the hands of a cult of demon-worshipers bent on the utter annihilation of existence as we know. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
I'm going to kill Natalya for this. That chick is dead. SO DEAD. We may have had our differences in the past, and sure, maybe I don't always treat her with the proper respect she's due as my commanding officer, but I think sending me directly to my doom counts as a bit of an overreaction, don't you? Besides, that promotion should have been mine to begin with. It seems that Hell hath exactly the fury of a woman scorned.
Women. Sheesh.
Aylya Lafina |
The old bear inside Aylya talks.
"Tell them little one they need to know it all, we go to fight that which would end all, keep nothing make they need to know what they will be facing"
She takes a deep breath.
"The witch here has the sight, I know, she knew things only one with it could know, She talked of some thing called the 'blood stone' Said its an old stone that mages who worshiped the lords of terror would carry, that once they had 'the right vessel' and magic they can summon the Lord of Terror. She says this is very dark magic, that she knows little of as she herself doesn't dabble such natural things. She said there are ones of a blood line that could be used as the 'the right vessel' but with the blood stone any one could be used, the good news she said there was no prophecy involved, so no gods to upset"
She looks into the fire.
"If your afrit, then best run home now."
Emilio Cross |
Emilio stands up, a new look of determination on his face. "I was taught to be without fear in all things. If we are to take on this "Lord of Terror," then so be it."
He walks to the door of the tavern. "This demon plague needs to be stopped. As the elf said, if you're afraid, now's the best time to run home. I'm going to face these demons by myself if I have to. Who's with me?"
Rasmus of the Viz-Jaq'taar |
At this point, I think we're just waiting on Cole.
Rasmus scoffs at Aylya and Emilio. His incredulence has faded, leaving nothing but a cold, long-suffering resignation to what must lay ahead. What mirth there may have been in his eyes has gone as well, and he fixes the company of would-be demon hunters in his brown orbs. Slowly, he shakes his head, his mouth turning down in a sneer. "You don't seem to understand how bad the situation really is. If you did, I wouldn't be the only one with wet pants. If what you say is true, if we're really dealing with the Lord of Terror, then it's not enough to keep a stiff upper lip and pretend that you're not afraid. If you don't feel fear now, it just means that you're fertile ground for the seeds he'll grow. The only way to face him is to acknowledge your fear, and master it. If you don't, Terror will master you."
Fighting the growing sickness in the pit of his stomach, he stands. Looking at Aylya, he shakes his head again. "You shouldn't be worried about upsetting your gods; if you insist on this, they've already forsaken you." Dropping his head, Rasmus closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath, performing a mental exercise to summon up the strength to say the words he knew must come. Exhaling, he shakes his head slowly, looking back at the group. "Let's just get this over with."
Aylya Lafina |
Aylya fixes Rasmus with a cold hard look, her eyes look over the washed out and cynical vagabond in front of her Shivering from fear or cold it matters not, his pointless red scarf was not keeping what ever it was out, he looked sick. She had been told of the type, the ones that would hide in an Ice caves wile the sounds of their tribes death make them cower in the dark. They would let a whole tribe die so they could be safe. Slinking, sly types always seeking ways to keep themselves face 1st and foremost.
"I smell fear in this one Aylya, he would see the world freeze so his skin be safe, trust him not on the hunt for he will run to save his own skin."
In a cold hard voice Aylya says.
"I was born on the ice where life and death are simple, fear and dread are constants, the great white seeks always your tribes end. By Tooth, claw, crack and flow, under, above, in it, always and forever. Many of my blood have spent their lives so I may stand here now. What should I do now, evil comes and will not stop with a village so My tribe will live if I hunt well here and now, live or die, nothing more matters... "
She starts to trun her back on the small human.
"So Soft, plump, hot meal'ed, fire warmed tribe-less, southerner, keep your fear chilled breath to yourself, It is of no use to me."
She turns her back on him, totally forgotten until he shows worth to the tribe.

When someone walks in front of you getting to their seats at a sports event and they choose to go facing you. If you are still sitting down then it will be their crotch to your face. This is considered poor practice and should be replaced by their backside in your face.
I was at the game last night and these guys walked past us to get to their seats and they went by crotch-first. It was so gross.

Doctors grow nose on man's forehead
Chinese man suffered irreparable damage to nose following car accident
Doctors in China have grown a new nose on the forehead of a man who damaged his own honker in a car accident.
The man, identified only as Xiaolian according to Reuters, suffered irreparable damage to his nose from an infection.
Since they couldn't fix what was already there, doctors decided to "grow" the 22-year-old a new nose using skin from his forehead, which most closely resembles skin on a person's nose.
Tissue expanders were placed under the skin and then cut to resemble a nose.
According to local media, doctors expect to transplant the new nose soon.
When that happens, cartilage from Xiaolian's rib will be used to give the nose added structure, according to ABC News.

You can choose to take one or two languages with History of Art. Most languages can be taken from beginners or post-A level, apart from French which can only be taken from post-A level.
There are various weightings to choose from dependent on how you wish to focus your studies.
If you choose to study one language alongside History of Art, there are three different options.
If you choose to study two languages alongside History of Art, you will study these all as minor subjects. This means that you will take 40 credits in each of your chosen languages, and 40 credits in History of Art.
Available combinations for the Modern Languages and History of Art degree programme.
You can find out more about the available modules dependent on your credit weighting for your chosen language(s) below:
The first year serves as a foundation for the subject. The modules, Historical Concepts in the History of Art and Debates and Methods in the History of Art, introduce 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.
For those students studying 80 credits of History of Art:
For those students studying 60 credits of History of Art:
For those students studying 40 credits of 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. If you are taking 80 or 60 credits of 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.
In the final year you focus on a special subject, which you study in depth and detail. If you are taking 80 or 60 credits of History of Art you have the opportunity to develop your research skills in a Dissertation, a piece of writing on a topic of your own choice.
The third year is spent abroad. You attend universities in the country or countries of your language(s) of study. You may also, if you are going to a French, Italian or Spanish-speaking country, spend the year as a teaching assistant. Work placements are available for some language combinations. Where two languages are studied, you can split the year abroad between two countries or spend the bulk of the year in one country followed by a vacation placement in the other. The year abroad is one of the most exciting aspects of the programme and many graduates remember it as one of the best years of their life.
At Birmingham, you'll benefit from an intellectually challenging and stimulating environment for your undergraduate studies, focused on ensuring you're a fully supported and active learner. Our degrees are designed to provide both academic excellence and vocational development; a balance that's highly sought after by employers in today's intellectual and creative industries.
Dr Emma Tyler delivers the 2013 undergraduate open day talk on studying Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham.
History of Art provides an opportunity to study European and North American art and visual culture from the Renaissance to the present. 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.
Language laboratory sessions allow you to practise your listening and spoken skills and are an essential part of all our language programmes.
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.
[Video above - Dr Emma Tyler discusses careers and employability during the Modern Languages open day presentation]
Modern Languages graduates have a range of skills that are highly prized by graduate employers: oral and written communication in one or more foreign languages, critical thinking, intercultural awareness and understanding. You will also develop leadership, teamwork and organisational skills through activities such as group projects and your year abroad.
87% of our Modern Language graduates go into work or study within six months of graduation. 50% of vacancies advertised for new and recent graduates don't specify a degree subject, and our graduates enter a wide range of careers similar to other arts and humanities graduates but with much greater scope in international settings. This includes business, government, journalism, the creative arts, teaching and law. Some go abroad to develop their language skills while working as TEFL teachers and university language tutors.
Modern Languages graduates from the University of Birmingham have excellent prospects after graduation. An impressive 85% of our graduates go into professional or managerial jobs within six months of graduation. Our graduates have started careers with employers including British Airways, Deloitte, HSBC, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the British Council, NATO, BP, central and local government, and universities in the UK and abroad.
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 talks and events, including 'Careers with Languages', to provide insight into careers of interest to our students. Many languages students will also find our events about careers such as teaching, law, marketing, journalism and advertising of interest.
We work hard to help students identify how the year abroad may help their future career. 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 those career areas where placements are often unpaid. You can even apply for our 'Global Challenge' to work overseas on an expenses paid placement during your summer vacation.
[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.

This course explores the practical and theological intersections of suffering and hope. Drawing from the Scriptures, social sciences, constructive and pastoral theology and practice, we will consider ways to understand, recognize and practice hope in the context of the devastations and suffering in life. Far from dismissing suffering in the face of hope, this course explores the hidden intersections and discontinuities between suffering and hope and seeks out a deeper ground for hope that does not flee or obscure the trauma, grief and injustice in life, but faces it head on in theology and practice. Lectures, readings, seminars. Reflection paper, book review presentation, case study, class participation, final paper.
Basic Degree students enrol in KNP3501HY.

The latin root of "pop" is "people", therefore popsexuals are those who have the capability of being attracted to and loving any people, similar to a pansexual. Individuals belonging to this orientation percieve all as people and synonymously, as a group of lovable beings. Popsexuals see past gender, or any other uncontrollable identity characterstic and see and love the person.
"He's a popsexual-- he digs peoples' solidarity of character, who they are beneath that which defines them hereditarily and biologically on the surface."

A person who defines themself as 'heterosexual', 'bisexual', or even 'homosexual' depending on what's popular in the current media.
After Spears and Madonna kissed on MTV, everyone was claiming to be bisexual. You know they're only popsexual.

Also known as "scene", popsexual is a teenage trend. Kids following this trend are not difficult to find, mostly because they insist on being the center of attention. They love big bright fake hair and whatever sells at Hot Topic. These kids are brighter than a box of highlighters and usually covered in piercings.
The teenagers you see in Hot Topic that look like they got shit on by a rainbow.
Parent: Why in the name of arse do you want thirty different colours in your hair?!

7 out of 10 office-based physicians e-prescribed in 2013, a 4% change in e-prescribing use over 2012.
The Surescripts network routed more than one billion e-prescriptions in 2013, representing 58% of all eligible prescriptions. This shows a 32% increase in volume over 2012 and almost double the total in 2011.
Surescripts exchanged nearly 700 million Medication History transactions in 2013, up from nearly 400 million in 2011.
In 2013, Surescripts saw a 31% increase in the number of e-prescriptions routed to mail-order pharmacies. The volume of e-prescriptions routed to mail-order pharmacies has increased significantly in the past five years, from just below 4 million in 2009 to more than 63 million in 2013.
Adoption of e-prescribing by independent pharmacies changed 11% between 2011 and 2013.
Chain pharmacies remained constant at 98% adoption during the same period.
In a typical metropolitan area with a population of 2 million, such as Cleveland, Ohio or Kansas City, Missouri, a web of providers and payers navigates a complex system to provide quality care to an increasingly informed and digitally connected patient.
The complexity of the healthcare system multiplies with the added communications needs among nursing homes, retail clinics, and long-term care facilities or when a patient needs care while traveling outside their local community.
Data is the life blood of healthcare, but the benefits of improving patient care, increasing efficiency and decreasing costs, cannot be realized if health information exists in isolation.
Health information technology offers significant promise. The ability to share clinical information, quickly and securely, will transform the healthcare system. The electronic exchange of health information can help improve quality and control costs, but this simple idea is a difficult task given the complexity of the U.S. healthcare system.
Surescripts has the infrastructure, data network, provider and supplier directories, and experience in developing standards to ensure that the healthcare system is connected and interoperable.
Connecting healthcare is a monumental task, but real progress is occurring and the impact is tangible. Surescripts has been connecting, exchanging, and activating health information for over a decade, starting with e-prescribing and broadening across other areas of healthcare. Our experience is significant and our potential far-reaching.
The vast majority of e-prescription data in America flows through our network, including prescription, medication history, formulary and benefits information. The range of information that we exchange is expanding and we continually develop services to help people identify and access it.
Medication History:Improving Patient Safety and Driving More Accountable Care Learn More
EPCS:Addressing Controlled Substance Fraud and Abuse Learn More
Immunization Services:Driving More Coordinated Care Learn More
Adverse drug interactions present significant risks to patient safety, especially in hospitals where a patient cannot communicate their medications because they are unconscious or in a compromised state. Surescripts provides access to a patient's comprehensive, real-time, electronic medication history, based on PBM claims and pharmacy fill data, prior to administering treatment. Electronic access to medication history improves patient safety and is leading the way to more accountable care by:
More than 40% of medication errors result from inadequate medication reconciliation.16
More than 770,000 people die or are injured annually from ADEs.17
23% of patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge had an ADE as either a primary or secondary diagnosis.18
Surescripts can provide medication history for approximately 66% (two-thirds) of the U.S. population.

Controlled substance fraud and abuse is at an all-time high. Since 1995, drug overdoses have tripled and in 2009, there were 1.2 million Emergency Department visits related to substance abuse. Today, between 3% and 9% of drugs that are diverted for abuse are tied to fraud and forgery of paper prescriptions.19 The electronic prescribing of controlled substances can help combat this epidemic by replacing the fraud-prone paper prescription pad. The Drug Enforcement Administration found that e-prescribing could yield up to $700 million in annual savings.20 Surescripts' Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) provides one electronic workflow for all prescriptions, reduces fraud and abuse, and improves safety by reducing the diversion of controlled substances.
Over the past 50 years, the growth and effectiveness of vaccines have helped reduce preventable diseases such as polio, measles and rubella by 99% according to the CDC. Today, care providers are looking to utilize immunizations to address more adaptable viral diseases, like influenza, that require serial vaccinations. Yet, in 2013, only 41.5% of the U.S. population received the influenza vaccination.23
Pharmacies and retail clinics are playing an increasingly important role in immunizations. Today, nearly 45% of all adult influenza vaccinations occur in pharmacies and retail clinics.23
Surescripts offers two Immunization Services to help improve the coordination of care.
Surescripts connects to 43 immunization registries nationwide, covering more than 246 million individuals (80% of the U.S. population in 2010).
Safe-Rx Rankings measure each state's progress in advancing healthcare safety, efficiency and quality through the adoption and use of e-prescribing. The rankings recognize the full utilization of e-prescribing based on volume of use of Surescripts' Prescription Benefit, Medication History and Prescription Routing services.
Our purpose is to connect fragmented healthcare into a coherent whole to enable more efficient and effective healthcare. Each day, our work touches upon a wide range of people, processes and products rooted in our three core capabilities:
We connect to the broadest community of care partners. Surescripts helps improve care collaboration, saving time and resources, by integrating disparate IT systems between hospitals, physicians, payers, pharmacies, labs and other healthcare stakeholders.
We exchange a wide range of information across networks from a single point of connectivity, facilitating timely and secure access to the data that is needed in today's quality-driven and evidenced-based care environment.
We activate data so it becomes useful information, while ensuring data security and privacy. We aggregate and enhance data from disparate sources and across different formats.
1 - Based on a total count of 522,000 office-based physicians in the U.S. per SK&A data. Surescripts' count of active-physician responses represents those ambulatory-care physicians who used electronic prescription routing within the last 30 days of 2013. For the calculation of active office-based physicians in 2013, Surescripts made a 15% adjustment to remove acute physicians that are e-prescribing.
