Frampton win ten-goal spectacular
Posted: December 11, 2012|
Berkeley Town 4
Frampton United 6
AN ELECTRIC game at the Nuclear Power Station ground saw one of the most incredible Gloucestershire County League comebacks ever.
Frampton United were trailing hosts Berkeley Town 4-0 in the lead up to half-time, before an epic turnaround saw the visitors leave with an incredible 6-4 victory.
The result leaves the hapless Hunters mired in trouble at the bottom of the league table, five points away from safety after defeats in 11 of their 14 games.
Without a hint of the drama that was to come, Berkeley started well and took the lead after 23 minutes after Sam Strickland crossed for Jamie Mackie to score.
Luke Palmer netted the second four minutes later from a goalmouth scramble and Strickland's expert finish, rounding the keeper before slotting home, made it three.
And when Tom Palmer converted Strickland's cross to make it 4-0 to Berkeley on 41 minutes, the Hunters were looking good for their third win of the season.
However, Frampton had other ideas and pulled a crucial goal back in the last minute of the half as Tom Paterson slammed home a loose ball after Zac Tyers' shot had been saved by Lee Mason.
The visitors scored their second goal in the 53rd minute as Chris Bulley's shot from the edge of the box flew past a helpless Mason.
And the lead was cut to just one goal shortly after the hour mark, Tyers heading home a left-wing cross before both sides were reduced to ten men.
Frampton's Steve Jackson and Berkeley keeper Mason were involved in a clash on the edge of the area that resulted in both players receiving their second yellow cards.
Forced to replaced their goalkeeper, Berkeley suffered most with the double expulsion and a new Frampton signing Mike Atwell-Smart took full advantage to level the scores.
But the drama wasn't complete as Karl Palmer touched home a free-kick on 85 minutes to give the visitors the lead for the first time.
And Palmer sealed a remarkable result with the tenth goal of the game in the final minute, slotting home after Ryan Vincent's pass to seal the three points.
The remarkable victory lifts County League new-boys Frampton up into seventh place in the table, 11 points behind leaders Tuffley Rovers.

Overly Described

from kenneth city, fl
this product came with no instructions and I couldn't even try to put it up. Of course, being74 years old may be part of the reason
Love it!

Prettiest tree I have ever had.It really made me happy to look at it.Very easily set up and put away.You don't undecorate it - just put it away "as is"We really enjoyed it.
So easy to set up!
By Tree Hugger
from Charleston, SC
We decided that we really didn't want to spend time assembling and decorating our large artificial tree, seeing as we're now spending all our Christmases at our children's homes, but we do miss the sparkle a tree brings to the holiday season. Now we can quickly set up this Brylane tree and enjoy it for a week or so before we leave, knowing that it will take only five minutes to construct and five minutes to take down. Our only problem has been finding and replacing the individual light bulb that caused our center light section to go out.
Makes Christmas a lot easier.

Tenants - Frequently asked questions
- How do I rent a home?
- What information will I need to provide?
- How much will it cost me?
- How quickly can I move?
- What happens if the agreement falls through?
- Who will manage my property?
- What is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and what obligations does it place on me and my Landlord?
- What are the landord's responsibilities?
- What are the tenants's responsibilities?
How do I rent a home?
The simplest ways to get onto our lists is to telephone the office (01395 269955) or to call in to leave your details. We will ask you what type of property you are looking for, when you want to move, how many of you are moving in, and what your budget is. You can contact us by e-mail, however, please provide a telephone contact number so that we can get details of your requirements. We will keep your details for about 8 weeks if you wish to remain on the lists for longer term, you need to contact us and ask us to update your form.
If you are renting your current home you need to check what notice you need to give your Landlord. This is usually a month, but notice often has to be given on a rent day and cannot take effect before the end of the fixed term of your agreement.
We will try to telephone you when a suitable property becomes available, however as we have a very high number of people on our lists, you are more likely to be successful if you telephone or call the office regularly to remind us of your requirements
What information will I need to provide?
When you have seen a property you wish to rent, we will ask you to provide us with the following for EVERYONE who will live in the property and is over the age of 18.
- Proof of identity something with your name and photo on, such as a passport, driving license or work security pass.
- Your addresses for the last 3 years.
- Your agreement that we can carry out a credit check on you.
- Names and addresses of people we can contact for references on you usually
- a character referee (this should be somebody who has known you for more than 2 years and is NOT a relation)
- An employment referee someone who can confirm where you work and whether your income will fund the rent.
- A current landlord (if applicable) and
- If you are self employed - an accountant.
We often house people whose backgrounds or situations are not-standard (such as pensioners, those coming from overseas, the newly self-employed etc). If your circumstances are unusual, please let us know at an early stage and we will try to assist. If you are not working we may ask for someone else to act as guarantor on your tenancy. It is very important that this person understands that they will have to sign the tenancy agreement and become jointly responsible for paying the rent and looking after the property they will also have to provide us with referees.
How much will it cost me?
We make no charge until you have agreed to take a property. You will then be asked for a tenant fee and a holding deposit (this is half the deposit and is usually £50 more than half a months rent). Once we have received these payments, we will not show the property to anyone else. The fees are as follows
Each additional tenant or guarantor an extra £100 Inc VAT
How quickly can I move?
Usually it takes a minimum of two weeks to process the rents, check the property, conduct the inventory and draw up the agreement. We will not allow you to have the keys to the property until all the references are in, and you have signed the tenancy agreement. You will also need to pay the other half of the deposit and the first months rent. This money needs to have cleared into our account, so you need to pay it at least 4 days before you move in or bring a banker's draft or pay by switch card on the day you collect the keys.
What happens if the agreement falls through?
If either party pulls out of the agreement within a day or two of your viewing, we will usually refund your holding deposit and tenant fee in full.
If the Landlord pulls out, through no fault on your part, you will receive your holding deposit back. If we have done the reference checks, we will retain your tenant fee, but will also hold your references and try to find you somewhere else to live. If you find another property through another agent or Landlord we will forward your references to them if you request this in writing.
If you pull out of the agreement within 28 days of the date the tenancy should start, we reserve the right to keep some or all of your holding deposit to pay to the Landlord in lieu of lost rent.
Who will manage my property?
Some properties are managed by us, as agent for the landlord. This means that you pay rent to us and contact us if you have any queries or problems. We will visit you in your home every 3-6 months to check everything is OK with the property and to help with any queries you may have regarding your tenancy. We will hold your deposit in a bonded account and check the inventory when you leave.
Other properties are managed directly by the landlord (an arrangement only tenancy). In these cases you will be asked to pay rent directly to your Landlord and will have their contact details in the case of query or problem. We usually hold your deposit, and we will check the inventory if we are re-letting the property at the end of your tenancy. Sometimes your landlord with do the inventory check, and we need to consult them before we can return your deposit.
If you are in a property managed by the Landlord, and have any serious problems or dispute, or cannot contact your Landlord, you may contact us in the office and we will try to help.
What is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and what obligations does it place on me and my landlord?
An Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST) is a legal document detailing the agreement between Landlord and tenant in renting a property. Almost all tenancies are taken under an AST although they cannot be used where
- Your accommodation forms part of the property where your landlord lives
- The property you are renting is not your only home
- The tenancy is a company let
- The rent is more than £25,000 per year.
- The tenancy is longer than 36 months.
An AST is based upon common sense most tenants want to have a home which is well maintained and safe and also want to know how long they can remain in the property. Most landlords want to receive regular rent payments and have the property back in a condition where it can be re-let as quickly as possible.
The agreement will state
- the names and addresses of the landlord and tenant
- the address of the property
- the date of the agreement and how long it lasts
- the rent and how often it must be paid
- the deposit and how it will be held
- the obligations of both parties and
- what will happen if either party does not comply with the terms
We use an agreement which is straightforward if there is anything you dont understand, or you have trouble with your sight or with written English please let us know and we will happily read the agreement with you.
In summary the agreement will allow you to live in the property for the fixed term (usually six or twelve months) and if you look after the property and pay the rent on time nobody can make you leave during this period.
You agree to pay the full rent on the right dates.
You agree to look after the property and leave it in the same condition as you found it (we make an allowance for reasonable wear and tear)
Only the adults and children named on the tenancy agreement can live in the property you cannot sub let the property or any part of it or pass on the tenancy agreement to anybody else.
The landlord or agent is not allowed to come into the property without giving you at least 24 hours notice UNLESS there is a serious risk to life or the structure of the property (this is rare - for example a gas leak, water leak, excessive storm damage or if we believe that someone is lying injured or dead in the property).
Obviously each agreement will vary slightly to reflect the details of the property for example it may state where you can park, or whether you can have pets, or install a Sky dish etc However the following is a useful guideline
Landlord Responsibilities
The Landlord(s) must
- Maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition for the duration of the tenancy.
- Insure the building.
- Maintain the windows, doors, floors, drains, lighting installations, heating (if any) and any cooking appliance in the property.
- Decorate the property appropriately both internally and externally (usually every 5-7 years). Very often a Landlord will agree to a tenants request to redecorate within agreed colour and style guidelines, and may agree to share the cost.
- Ensure the electrical wiring and installations are safe. At present there is no legal requirement for the electrical installations to be checked and certified, although this situation may change later in 2006 when the 2004 Housing Act becomes law.
- Provide a landlords gas safety certificate for all gas appliances every year and provide each adult tenant with a copy of the certificate.
The Tenant and their responsibilities
The Tenant must
- Pay the full rent at the times and in the manner agreed
- Provide a deposit to be held against any damage caused during the tenancy
- Be responsible for paying for the utilities for the property (unless specifically stated otherwise on the AST)
- Care for the property during the tenancy and return it at the end of the tenancy in the same condition as at the start (with some allowance for reasonable wear and tear).
- Maintain any garden in a tidy and weed-free condition (unless stated otherwise in the AST)
- Repair any damage caused by them or their visitors.
- Report any defect or fault as soon as possible.

Energy Commission has unveiled an ozone friendly project which will provide new refrigerators to consumers who will return their old refrigerating appliances.
Under a project known as 'The Efficient Refrigerator Rebate Scheme In Ghana', consumers who return their old refrigerating appliances will be supported financially to pay part of the cost of a new efficient one.
To this end, the commission has engaged the services of some dealers in electrical appliances, including Somovision and Beko to promote the use of ozone friendly refrigerators, ahead of the January 2013 ban.
While a selected participating bank, Ecobank Ghana Limited will provide assistance to customers who can not afford to top up to buy the brand new energy efficient refrigerators.
The project, being the first of its kind in Africa, was launched in Accra by the Chief Director of the Ministry of Energy, Professor Thomas Akabzaa, on behalf of the sector minister, Dr. Joe Oteng-Adjei.
He disclosed that about 50,000 energy efficient refrigerators were expected to be sold under the project over the next three years of the implementation of the project.
This, Dr Joe Oteng-Adjei said could result in a massive savings of 216MWh of electricity which is more than half of the electricity that will be produced by the Bui Dam when completed.
He further revealed that the government was committing GH¢1 million per year for the next three years of the project to stimulate the purchase of new refrigerators at designated shops throughout the country.
Under the rebate and turn-in scheme, he noted that the old and less efficient refrigerators could be sent to participating retails, adding that the "refrigerators would be checked at the retail shop to confirm if it is functioning".
These old refrigerators will be disposed off by participating waste management firm(s) which is unknown.
In his welcome address, the Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Dr. Alfred Ofosu Ahenkrah added the objective of the project was to reduce the energy consumption of refrigerating appliances from the current average of 1,200Kwh to 600Kwh per appliance per annum.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Director, Dr. Kamil Kamaluddeen whose organization is partnering Ghana to implement the project stated that "the rebate scheme we are launching today constitutes a breakthrough energy initiative in Africa".
He congratulated the government for spearheading the project with the commitment of the GHC 1 million for the three-year period of the project, stressing that the main ingredient to make this recipe successful is the creation and sustainment of partnerships.

Information and Beach Analysis
The north point of Kama'ole III Beach Park was once known as Kalaehuku, and this name included the sand beach as well. The rocky south half of the park's shoreline was called Ana'iao, for an inlet where large schools of 'iao, a popular bait fish, congregated. The beach at Kama'ole I11 is a short but wide pocket of white sand bordered by rocky points. Large rocks are also exposed in several places along the beach at the water's edge. The sandy offshore bottom slopes quickly to overhead depths-a danger to little or nonswimming children. The waves in the shorebreak attract bodysurfers. The ocean is safe for swimming except during heavy surf or kana storms. During these times strong rip currents and a powerful shorebreak make swimming very dangerous. Although Kama'ole III has the smallest beach of the three Kama'ole parks, it seems to be the most popular.
This popularity is probably due to certain specific features of the park itself: it is the longest and the widest of the three, it is the only one that has playground apparatus for children and it has the most parking. Other facilities include restroom, showers, picnic tables, and barbecue grills. The south half of the park is underdeveloped and covered with kiawe.
This description is taken from John R. K. Clark's book - The Beaches of Maui County which is published by University of Hawai'i Press and available from University of Hawai'i Press. We thank John R. K. Clark for providing his description of Hawaii's beaches to improve beach safety.

In Team Escape you and your team must reach the finish and outrun the cops while evading – or smashing through Roadblocks, Cops and deadly Rhino SUVs.
To join a Team Escape event, look for the red "Team Escape" icon in either the Map or by driving to one of the race locations in the world.
Joining the event will match you up with 3 other teammates; alternatively you can host a Private Race and invite your Friends.
Team Escape can also be joined through the "Race Now" button.
There are several obstacles in Team Escape, preventing you from safely reaching your destination
The cops are willing to call in as many Roadblocks, Spikestrips and Rhinos as it takes to stop your team. The Radar skill is extremely useful for detecting where Cops have placed Roadblocks and Rhinos, allowing you to prepare in advance so you can pick your target – or change your route.
Your Heat is fixed based on the event you're playing – be careful though because the Cops have formed some new tactics to stop you.
Getting busted isn't game over. When anyone on the team gets busted, your team will lose a Strike. Once a strike is consumed, you will spectate the nearest teammate for 10 seconds before respawning. If there are no strikes left, you will not respawn. However, if your teammates manage to escape, any busted players will still get some rewards.
Your team has to escape within the time limit, which can be seen on the top right of your HUD. If you run out of time, you'll be busted.
To boost your chances of escaping, we've added two new powerups to your arsenal:
Team Emergency Evade is the perfect way to guarantee your team's survival. When used, it will annihilate any cops near you and your team, sending them flying.
Team Slingshot gives you and your teammates a major increase in speed. Perfect for helping your entire team to escape with plenty of time to spare.
You can find the new Team Powerups in the store as well as in the Powerup Console within your Safehouse.
The rewards of Team Escape scale with each teammate that manages to escape, so if your entire team manages to get out – you'll get the best rewards. There are also a few individual bonuses to strive for when outrunning the Cops:
Escape without using a single strike
Aid your team using a Team Powerup
Also, private events for Team Escapes are equally rewarding, so go ahead and invite your friends!
Escaping the Cops before time runs out can take several attempts, but here are some tips and tricks:
Pick your spots! Look out for weakspots when approaching Roadblocks and use Juggernaut to obliterate them, making room for your teammates.
Watch out for Spikestrips! Make sure you bring Run Flats in case you run a flat tire
Dodge those Rhinos! A head-on collision with a Rhino SUV is never a good thing, so be prepared to pull off some last minute evasive maneuvers if you see them coming.
Good luck & have fun escaping the Cops with your friends in Team Escape!

NHL schedule won't change
I am still on a break from blogging, for the most part, because my knee is killing me and I need a short break.
However, I had to mention that the NHL Board of Governors met and the current schedule is going to last for another season at least.
Last time the BOG met, the proposal to revert back to the pre-lockout schedule was just short of approval (you need a two-thirds majority vote) by one vote. Today, 19 of 30 members voted for a change in the schedule. The proposal needed 20 votes.
So in a span of just under a month and a half, not a single person changed their mind (or if they did, it didn't affect the total votes for or against the proposal). I don't understand how the media and fans can complain so much about the schedule over the past month and nothing changes.
Ugh. I hate the current schedule. Hate it. I hate playing every one in our division 8 times. Even if they were all fantastic teams, you don't need to play any team that much. For more on my opinion on the topic, you can read a paper I wrote for my English class last semester here.
What are your guys' thoughts on this decision?

I think its stupid!!!! But you already knew that Christy. I mean playing Toronto once a season if even that is ridiculous. No offense to Columbus or Minnesota, but I don't want to see the Wings play them 37289 times a season.
I find it odd as well, but my love of symmetry sees no problem with riding this out one more season based on the current system of rotation.
Perhaps with realignment will come an adjusted schedule?
I think the current schedule is a major disappointment that only discourages fans from watching or attending games. For fans in a particular city, you get bored that the team's playing division teams over and over ("They're playing X again? What else is on?"). When they finally do play other teams, you have to see if it's a year where the teams play. The Wings are finally playing NY teams in NY this year. I'm excited, but that's one full year where I only went to an NHL game because my wife won tickets.
I fear Bettman has doomed the league through the continuation of the present schedule. The league is openly admitting that the Western Conference depends upon playing Detroit. It is ridiculous that the Wings do not play each of the Original 6 teams at least once a year. Actually, they should play everyone in the East at least once a year. It is much more important, from the leagues standpoint, that the Wings prop up franchises in the West.
I hate the schedule. It has ruined Original 6 matchups for the Wings. Living in Colorado, I get really tired of seeing Minnesota over and over again. I would like to go back to the old schedule where every team played each other at least twice, once in their barn and once in your team's barn. That would give the league much better exposure. Sidney Crosby has still not played in Denver, ridiculous! The NHL needs to build its fanbase and this schedule is destroying it.
[...] I've made my feelings on the current schedule well known over the past year, but I had to mention it in this list. [...]

Lockheed Martin Developed Helo Completes Tour in Afghanistan
7/24/2014 (Updated 6:59:25 PM)Lockheed Martin in Owego is saying "Welcome Home" to one of its most prized creations.
The K-Max unmanned helicopter, developed by Lockheed Martin, successfully completed its tour of duty in Afghanistan, which began in November 2011.
While in Afghanistan, the chopper moved over 4.5 million pounds of supplies for the military.
Now that the K-Max is back home, Lockheed officials say that its success overseas opens up new business opportunities at home.
The general manager of Lockheed Martin said, "So the technology goes form working on things that help the military and now that we've set a standard that it'll no longer be completely dedicated to using pilots to fly cargo around to now doing commercial work where you can go unmanned."
In its three and a half years in Afghanistan, K-Max went on over 200 supply drops. It also reduced the need for ground convoys, reducing Marine exposure to IED bombs by more than 46,000 hours.

T-ara's super-popular music video for "Lovey Dovey" has been deemed harmful to teenagers by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, according to a ruling yesterday.
T-ara's film clip, which features actor Cha Seung-won, will now be banned from airing on television before 10 p.m. Albums featuring the song will be required to feature a sticker that prohibits purchase by those under 19 years of age.
The ministry said it made the decision because the video promoted violence and made references to drugs.
Other artists were also subject to similar rulings on the same day, seeing sale of their work restricted as well. Hip-hop artist Defconn was targeted by the agency as well as the song "Yet Another Day" from the musical "Next to Normal".
"Lovey Dovey" was released in January of this year and has topped various charts in Korea as well as in Japan, having come in at the third spot on the Oricon singles chart.

Emeriti faculty members are eligible for the title of Research Professor.
It is expected that any emeritus faculty member who keeps for any amount of time a library carrel, office, and/or research laboratory in a campus building will maintain a current Research Professor status. Space in a campus building is not guaranteed to either Emeritus faculty and/or Emeritus faculty with Research Professor status.
To request or renew the title of Research Professor, faculty should write to the Provost every two years, appending a research plan that details the activities of the previous two years and outlines the scholarly plans for coming two years.
Upon receipt of such a research plan, the Provost, in consultation with the President, will confirm in writing the use of the title for a specified period. A retired professor is eligible for an indefinite number of renewals of the Research Professor title.
Emeritus faculty with Research Professorships may access the services of the Office of Sponsored Programs, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations, and may apply for grants under the auspices of the College.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) July 09, 2013
NDX has released SmartZone Technology with the first in a series of enhancements to Snapshot™, the NDX online data retrieval tool for pre-print ad planning. SmartZone Technology is a suite of new applications that allows media buyers to clearly define and evaluate true household penetration and market reach impact. SmartZone provides more accurate and actionable data in the early stage of planning.
The number of publications and distribution products from newspapers has doubled in the past five years and this trend will continue. SmartZone Technology eliminates the need to manually collate, aggregate and calculate multiple, disparate data points across publications with different placement rules.
With the consolidation and contraction of newspaper operations, media planners must have the most up to date and actionable placement rules with tools to conduct real-time analysis. This pace of change is what drove the need for SmartZone, the first technology of its kind in the media industry.
This new technology saves time and money on media plan revisions, and saves significant costs through more accurate print quantities. SmartZone provides media analysts with clear placement data for comparison to sales results.
"SmartZone Technology empowers media buyers to evaluate penetrations across a range of distribution products, at a more granular level, before they place their pre-print buys. That enables buyers to realize their planned penetration goals," said Michael Lombardo, co-founder and president of NDX. "Without these tools advertisers frequently suffer from over-coverage in some locations and under-coverage in others," he continued, "which is both inefficient and under-performing."
The collection of SmartZone Technology's new enhancements to Snapshot™ includes:
SmartZone Technology enhancements to Snapshot™ are developed through an in-depth client-feedback and product testing system. Snapshot™ is the online tool ad buyers use to access NDX Source® data that is critical for campaign planning, such as real-time distribution counts, operational information and multiple periods of projections and placements for every publication in the database. Snapshot™ offers an add-on direct-feed service where advertisers may interface Source® directly with their own internal business systems. NDX Source® now includes over 100 million households with over 250 million weekly impressions.
About NDX:
NDX is the standard-bearer of newspaper product and distribution information for the US advertising industry. NDX products are driven by a proprietary Source® database and provide a standardized format of the country's largest, most current and most comprehensive publisher data. With a national network of data management resources and advisors from both the Advertising and Publishing industries, NDX is a single source of the knowledge needed to maximize preprint advertising investments.

Never seen the 'Garage of many bits' looking so empty - Must be Xmas??
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Hi All,
in looking forward to a quiet Christmas I asked to be 'left alone' and the results are that I have NEVER seen the 'garage of many bits' so empty - just a few of my stable left.
Usually this joint is to the rafters in road bikes, MTB's and hybrids all for repair, rebuild and servicing. I'm glad everyone accepts that we all need some time off, it's just so quiet in there now.
Look out boxing day - it will be full again and a hive of spannering activity.
On this note I would like to wish everyone here a peacefull Christmas and thanks for an entertaining year -Been really good fun.
Roll on tomorrow morning, we're all off for a good old blast,,,,,, whatever the weather.
Take it easy Kev and have a great festive period, no drinking and riding
PS, Loving the snap-on set up, past life as a mechanic?
My dad's garage has about 9 tool boxes like that, seems he can't bear to part with any of them

So when are we all round for a beer then? Lol
Mine is so bike full due to not just my bikes but wife's, daughter's and son's.
Although I have those Pro rear wheel stands which helps.
Where is the Pitch btw?

Oh yep, forgot the beers on the floor there (well noticed Gkam) - keeps um cool.
The Pitch is now up London way, the replacement Stumpy is alongside a recent Zesty buy, which is (right) alongside my Boardman Pro hybrid (you can just see the reflective bits, at the back, of the Boardman) by the benchpress, that's my get back and fore to work bike.
The garage disappears to the right just behind the gym, boxes and junk - that's where the rest live and one or two others behind the camera.
It's not the same though, all quiet an'all.
Just going to crack open a can or two shortly - the family will be round.... Wife's moaning at me now to get the black off my nails and 'have a bloody wash' before anyone arrives.
Grunt, puff, pant and groan goes the old man - but he gets there in the end. ;o)

Basel: Pharma Ville
Basel, in the north of Switzerland, lies at the bottom of Europe's BioValley, a biotech cluster that stretches into southern France and Germany. The city is home to 59 biotech and pharmaceutical companies, including the headquarters of two of the world's giants, Novartis and Roche.
Roche was set up in 1896 by the Hoffman-La Roche family to sell its brand of cough medicine. Today, it employs over 3500 research scientists in Switzerland alone, who mainly work on therapeutics for neurological and metabolic disorders, and cancer. As well as research scientists, there are interns who spend time at Roche during their bachelor's or master's degrees, and postdoctoral research fellows. Anja Harmeier, a postdoc from Germany, has been at Roche for two years doing basic research into schizophrenia. "It's good to experience industry as a postdoc," she says. "I get great support from both Roche and an academic mentor based at the University of Basel."
Employees are encouraged to work closely with universities and publish in prestigious journals, which can make life seem very academic. But other aspects, such as being paid for working out of hours, are distinctly less so. "We want our employees to be motivated in order to come up with the innovative results," says Mario Watzke, head of HR marketing Switzerland. As a result, the employment package also includes flexible working hours, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and subsidised meals and cultural events.
Further downriver lies Novartis. After the utilitarian white and blue buildings of Roche, the Novartis "campus" is a visual feast with buildings clad in coloured panels, landscaped (and soundscaped) gardens, modern art around every corner and the likes of architect Frank Gehry involved in the design. "It's a pretty inspiring place to work," says Niamh Johnston, who studied biology at the University of Edinburgh and now works in corporate communications. "It definitely encourages us to interact and collaborate".
Johnston's team has been rushed off its feet organising this year's BioCamp - an annual international networking event run by Novartis with attendance capped at just 60 students. This year, those 60 were drawn from 21 countries. Places were limited for good reason: the students were treated to an intensive three-day programme of lab visits, workshops and lectures given by some of the company's most senior members of staff. It seems the extensive itinerary paid off. "I was impressed by the strength of Novartis R&D," says Xiaofeng Li, who has just completed his PhD at the University of Sheffield. "Having a Q&A session with the CEO and members of board of directors was great - you don't often get access to such high-level people."
While attending BioCamp will stand any attendee in good stead for a future job application, young scientists may initially be better off applying to work in one of Novartis's UK research sites - at Horsham, for example - before putting in an application to transfer to the Basel HQ.
Lausanne: Consumer Central
Take the train from the northern part of Switzerland down to Lausanne in the south-west and it's easy to see why over a third of the city's population is said to be foreign nationals. With undulating green hills, grazing cows and Lake Geneva glinting in the evening sunshine, it is picture perfect.
Lausanne is smaller than Basel or Zurich, but it oozes charm. Nestlé has based its headquarters, research centre (NRC) and an Institute of Health Sciences either in the city or a short commute away. So has food and tobacco giant Phillip Morris, and Tetra Leval, the global food processing and packaging company. Nestlé has a total of eight research facilities in Switzerland, and between them they carry out more than half of its R&D.
Ciarán Forde, a scientist at the NRC working in the consumer and sensory science group, describes it "as the pinnacle of food research". Forde, who has a PhD in nutrition from the University of Cork in Ireland, is currently researching how consumers make portion size decisions when selecting different foods, work which will help develop new products for Nestlé's weight-management range.
The company doesn't just carry out work directly related to its products, it also does fundamental research and conducts its own clinical trials organised from its newly opened Clinical Development Unit. For example, one trial looked at when antioxidants in coffee and green tea are absorbed from the blood. Raf Crabbé, who heads the unit, estimates that Nestlé was running 137 trials globally at the end of July. This is about the same number as a mid-sized pharma company, he claims. "No other food company does such basic research."
Like many of the other young scientists working for multinationals, Forde says that feeling he is making a difference is what really enriches his working day: "At university, you can publish and talk at conferences but you are not affecting anyone's life." Plus, it's a bonus, he says, that Switzerland is second only to Ireland in terms of natural beauty.
