Welcome to the Students' Union
The University of Cumbria Students' Union (UCSU) is a student-led charity, representing the views and interests of over 9,000 members; the students at the University of Cumbria.
Welcome to UCSU! You are now a member of both UCSU and the National Union of Students (NUS). Together, we'll put you in the driving seat of your education.
Our motto, 'Supporting and representing you to achieve your ambitions', is at the heart of every action we take and decision we make – our job is to help you make the most out of your university experience. We ensure that your voice is heard and that you can see how your views shape your student experience at the University of Cumbria.
UCSU operates three full time offices – at both Carlisle sites (Fusehill Street – Learning Gateway Ground Floor, Brampton Road – long corridor) and the Lancaster campus (Gateway Building reception). These are open Monday – Friday between 9am and 5pm. We aim to visit the smaller sites in Ambleside, London and Energus at regular intervals throughout every semester. The services and opportunities provided by UCSU are open to all students regardless of location, and are accessible via our website, www.ucsu.me
UCSU is led by an elected team of Full Time Officers. Each officer has responsibility for different areas of the student experience. Introducing…
Izaak is responsible for representing your views and needs on all matters relating to the academic experience, including quality of teaching, assessment, resources, timetabling and the course reps system.
Contact: email@example.com
Aden's job is to develop student communities at each of the University of Cumbria's campus sites. He's also responsible for developing links within the local community so that you have plenty of opportunities for enhancing your student experience both in, and out of the classroom!
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Adam represents student matters relating to health and wellbeing – including physical, mental and sexual health, stress & anxiety and developing campaigns and awareness around student safety and welfare. Adam also helps to provide access to UCSU Support services, Volunteering Opportunities and Student Groups & Societies.
Contact: email@example.com
Any student can stand for election as a full time officer – we hold Officer Elections every March to recruit the three positions. The full time officer positions are paid, and are a fantastic opportunity to kick start your career after graduation, or as a sabbatical year during your studies.
We also have a variety of voluntary, part time roles through our Panel. The Panel is our democratic system for decision making. Here's how it works: students can submit their ideas and suggestions about what they need and want from their University experience at any time via the UCSU website.
Every single idea gets an individual reply from a member of the UCSU team. The ideas are discussed at Panel meetings which typically take place 4 times a year. The Panel make decisions and vote on the ideas. Successful ideas are then passed as UCSU policy and communicated to members.
There are a variety of positions within the Panel, each representing a different cohort, location or group of students – e.g. Disabled Students Rep, London Students Rep, Black & Minority Ethnic Students Rep, Women's Rep, LGBTQ Rep, and so on. We hold Panel Elections every October, and all students are welcome to nominate themselves or a friend.
UCSU has three main themes of work, informed by annual research projects about what our members want and need from their Students' Union. These three themes are Your Education, Your Career and Your Student Life. This is what we mean by them…
Your Education: UCSU will work with you to promote a high quality academic experience. We will support and represent you to achieve your academic potential.
Your Career: UCSU will connect you with opportunities to develop your skills and experiences. We will support you in to the world of work and help you become more confident about achieving your career ambitions.
Your Student Life: UCSU will connect you with others to enrich and support your learning experience, and support you to overcome barriers to success.
UCSU facilitates a wide variety of student groups, societies and sports teams. They provide a great opportunity for you to meet students with similar interests to you and to make new friends.
By participating in one of the many sports teams, you can compete nationally in the British Universities & Colleges Sports League (BUCS), continue your passion or maybe try something new!
You may even want to start your own group, society or sports team. That's no problem – we'll provide you with all the information and support you need to get your new venture off the ground, and help promote the group so that other students can join in too.
Student Academic Reps form a key art of the University of Cumbria Student Voice and are managed, in partnership with the University, by the Students' Union (UCSU).
The purpose of the Student Academic Reps system is to ensure a constructive feedback between students and their course providers. This enables a structured dialogue which drives the continuous improvement of present and future delivery, with the aim of enhancing the student experience and satisfaction in their course.
Academic Reps can bring about significant changes to their courses for the benefit of all students, irrespective of their mode or place of study. If you care about your course, your university and your fellow students, this is the role for you! For more information, talk to your tutor, or contact Katia Riley, UCSU's Student Voice Coordinator firstname.lastname@example.com
UCSU facilitates all sorts of different volunteering opportunities, and also helps students to find their own volunteering experiences – so if there's something you want to do, let us know and we'll help you make the most of it.
Maybe you'd like to apply the learning from your course, develop your skills, help people in the local community or just try something completely new. Whatever you're into, UCSU is here to make it happen.
Our affiliation with the National Union of Students (NUS) means we are part of a voice of students across the UK, campaigning for the changes you think are important. So, if you have any ideas for enhancing your university experience, big or small, get in touch with us, and together we'll strive to make the changes you want to see.
You can also save loads of money off fashion, food, travel, insurance and so much more by getting an NUS Extra Card. This is the best discount card for students and you can start saving straight away. The card costs just £12 for 12 months, and you can save even more by ordering a 3 year card.

A 25 year old professional athlete should have no problem getting ino shape by the time opening day comes around. I mean seriously, even if he's been eating eating ho-ho's and watching southpark sitting on a couch for 4 months, odds are he should be able to get back to he same shape he was in last year.
What concerns me more is what this spells for him in the future. When he hits 30, and if he stays that lazy during the offseason his body will start to break down, he will lose muscle mass etc etc. it also says something about is work ethic. I've been a pro athlete and I've trained with and still train pro boxers to this day. I can't tell you how many of those guys take some time off gain 20 lbs and then get right bak into it. Thing is, sometimes a little bit of that is a good thing, but too much of it can be a big problem. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt or now, but if he can't stay healhy or he regresses this year I'll be at the front the not-fan line requesting him shipped out of town......but for now let's see how this evolves.

Hermanas, Amigas and Stilettos (#SMLatinas)
by Sili
I flew up to NYC last Thursday morning because I had a very special event to attend. Â It was the Kick Off Your Heels party put together by Stiletto Media.
Now, these are women that I have been in touch with for months. We support each other, we participate in campaigns together and we have a good time doing so. Â The question was, would this translate to real life?
I took a quick cab ride over to Pio Pio in Hell's Kitchen accompanied by Myrah (aka Coupon Mamcita) unsure of what I'd find. Well, I had no reason to be concerned. This was the very first time I had a chance to meet everyone in person though I feel so close to everyone already. The energy in that place was…joy.
We were all so happy to see each other. Â It was like a reunion of old friends. Â If it wasn't for all the fun we were having checking out the brands that made it all possible you would think this was just another girl's night out.
The support felt palpable to me. Â At one point in time I got teary-eyed from all of the love I felt in the room. Â Granted, it could've been the ridiculously good sangria but, seeing as I only had half a cup, I will have to own my feelings on this one.
Or, I could blame the cevichito mixto which they served beautifully in a spoon and which I think I'd prefer in a big mixing bowl. Oh em gee! I want some right now. But, I digress.
I have seen so many negative comments about women and blogging, about bloggers at conference, word battles, etc. Let me tell you how blessed I felt to have started off my trip with this amazing group of women. Â Migdalia, the brains behind the heels, was so open and welcoming. Â It translated on to everyone and everything that night. I loved meeting old online friends and new ones.
Of course, giggles translated over as well. Â Now, let me explain this picture before you see it! Lourdes, Stiletto's new office manager, wanted to get a close up picture of both of our tattoos. Â She tried to get her arm as close to my leg as possible. And in trying to do that, she put her hand on my (fantastic) behind. I can hear her now apologizing for having her hand on my butt and me giggling. Â Unbeknownst to us, a close up picture was NOT being taken. Instead, we got the picture below! It's priceless. I've threatened to sue for emotional distress for being groped. Alas, my grinning face shows the opposite! But those tattoos from Glitter Tattoo NYC were a big hit and everyone wanted to show them off.
That night was filled with nothing but good feelings, great friends, sisters in the making and amazing shoes! Â Tell me, are you part of an uplifting group of women?
If you want to know more about Stiletto Media or want to be a part of this inspiring group of women, check them out and grab a badge.
Disclosure: As a member of the Stiletto Media Blogger Network, my trip to the VIP Latina Blogger Event was sponsored, but as always, my thoughts and words are my own.
Ohmigaaaa why you so hot?!!!!! Red hot Lourdes couldn't keep her hands off you!! You are a star, so happy to have met and partied with you love xoxo
Alexandra recently posted..Celebrating Latinas at the #SMlatinas event at Pio Pio!

Sili, you guys were having so much fun! Your expressions in each pic is priceless!! You are in a great circle of professional women. Very inspiring!
Amiguita! It was a blast spending these BLogHer days with you. You are a great roommate also!
[…] heard me tell you all about BlogHer, about how I do some of my follow ups and about my favorite party last […]

Application deadline: This course is now closed to applicants for 2016 entry.
A maximum of four choices on the UCAS form may be made for programmes which lead to a professional qualification in medicine.
You may add one of the following alternative non-health programmes to your UCAS application: Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Pharmacology, Pharmacology & Molecular Genetics, Physiology, Neuroscience, Human Sciences and Biomedical Science.
Please be assured that you will be considered as having a full commitment to Medicine whether you include a non-health programme choice or not. If you would like to discuss your options regarding programme choice, including adding a programme which does not appear on this list, please contact the Admissions Office. The UKCAT: Please note: all applicants are required to sit the United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) prior to applying to the EMDP degree. Please refer to the UKCAT website for details on registration at www.ukcat.ac.uk
For the Extended Medical Degree Programme (EMDP), the UKCAT is used contextually; test results are considered along with other factors, including where the applicant has been to school. However a low score in the UKCAT may substantially reduce your chances of being invited to interview.
Academic achievement: You should carefully check that you will meet the School of Medicine's minimum academic standards before making an application. Please note that many applicants meet the minimum requirements and so all applications are considered within a competitive environment.
In line with the recommendations of the report 'Fair admissions to higher education: recommendations for good practice' produced by the Admissions to Higher Education Review in 2004, King's will endeavour to consider other factors in addition to examination results, including the educational context of an applicant's formal achievement. As well as achievement at formal examination, King's will look for other indicators of potential and capability.
Personal statement and reference: Your personal statement is one of the many factors in the overall assessment of your application. We are looking particularly for evidence of appropriate commitment to, and realistic appreciation of, the academic, physical and emotional demands of a medicine degree programme and career. We would normally expect that you will have undertaken some work experience in a caring environment and/or observation in a dental clinical setting. If this is not possible, we look for evidence that you have worked in a setting where you can interact with the general public, eg in a pharmacy, check-out or restaurant.
Communication skills and the ability to work successfully in a team are of great importance. We look for applicants who have participated as fully as possible in school or college life, making the most of the opportunities available to them and also demonstrated some experience of society beyond their immediate environment.
Your interests, achievements and contribution to your community are taken into account in addition to academic ability. We aim to ensure that all of our students can cope with the heavy academic workload of the programme and display those professional qualities, skills and attitudes that help to make competent and caring medical professional.
We would expect your application to be strongly supported by your referee both in terms of academic achievements/potential and in terms of your character and suitability for medicine.
UKCAT scores: Your UKCAT scores will be considered in our selection for interview. They will not be the sole indicator for selection and there is no universal 'cut-off' score for the UKCAT. Scores will be balanced against achievement in other areas, in particular your academic performance to date, and for the EMDP, are further considered in light of individual school performance data, as published by the Department for Education and Schools.
The interview: No offers are made without an interview. EMDP interviews are held in March and you must be available for interview in order to be considered for admission. A large number of applications are received for medicine. Although we recognise that this is an anxious time for you, all applications are carefully considered, and therefore you should not expect a response until the cycle has been completed in early May.
Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) are used for selection. During MMIs candidates are asked to respond to questions relating to a scenario at a 'station' and then move onto the next station in a timed circuit. One of these station scenarios is designed to assess values and personality based attributes for example: kindness, compassion and empathy, respect for the individual, privacy and dignity, advocacy, decision-making, team working and integrity. Some scenarios are scientifically based and designed to assess information handling and evaluation skills, whilst others will assess knowledge on topical medical issues. Another station will assess the candidates' ability to deal with an ethical dilemma. Communication skills will be assessed at EACH station.
A standardised interviewer assessment score sheet accompanies each station. Interviewers have no prior knowledge of candidates before they meet them at each station.
As we are seeking to identify your suitability for a clinical environment, we expect our interviewees to adopt the dress code required of clinical medical students at King's.
Examination 're-mark' policy: Conditional offer holders must supply to King's all complete examination results (including final grades) by 30 August of the year of entry. For example, conditional offers holders who initially do not meet their offer may apply for an A level re-mark. If official notification of any change to the final grade is supplied to King's no later than 30 August and this change meets the initial offer, the offer holder can begin the programme that academic year. Without exception, if the improved re-marked examination result is supplied to the Student Admissions Office after 30 August, a deferred offer of a place will be made.
Criminal conviction disclosure: All offers of a place, and continued enrolment, are made subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check. All applicants are required to declare on their UCAS application if they have any spent or unspent convictions, cautions or reprimands.
Getting a decision: There continues to be considerable pressure on the available places for students to study medicine. Applications to the medical school each year for our undergraduate medical programmes are around 4500 for a total of 410 places. Around 1200 – 1400 applicants are selected for interview.
For the EMDP, around 400 applications are received for 50 places. Candidates will be invited for interview in March 2016. The School aims to notify all applicants of its final decisions by the beginning of May 2016.
The EMDP is the UK's flagship widening access to medicine programme. The programme runs for six years rather than the usual five, allowing the first stage to be studied at a slower pace and with greater support for the first three years. EMDP students follow the same medical curriculum as all other medical students and undergo the same rigorous assessment.
Now in its 15th year, over 300 students are currently studying on the EMDP. Each September we will take another 50 eligible students onto the course.
Which programme should I apply to?
Applicants will only be considered for the EMDP if they apply for UCAS course code A101. If applicants wish to also be considered for the standard five-year programme then they must apply to UCAS course code A100 as well as A101, and each application will be considered separately.
Eligibility for the EMDP
All 50 EMDP places are funded by HEFCE which means that only applicants with Home/EU fee status are eligible to apply to the programme. Grade requirements for the EMDP are aligned with individual school performance, as reported annually by the Department for Education and Schools. The minimum offer is BBB at A level Applicants who have previously registered for, started or completed a degree at another higher education institution in the UK or overseas are not eligible for the EMDP.
To be eligible to apply, applicants must satisfy the following criteria:
• Applicants must be completing, or have completed, all A levels at a non-selective, state school in Greater London. • From the age of 11, applicants must have attended only educationally non-selective state schools or FE Colleges – no independent or selective study. All schools attended since the age of 11 should be listed on the UCAS form. • Applicants will have completed all GCSEs, including maths and English, at a non-selective state school. • Applicants must have achieved a grade B or higher in Maths and English GCSE. Please note that candidates re-sitting GCSEs in Maths or English will not be considered and are recommended to reapply once they have achieved their grades. • Applicants taking A levels must have achieved, or be predicted to achieve, at least BBB including Chemistry, Biology and one other A level (not including General Studies or Critical Thinking). • Applicants taking an Access to Medicine course are eligible if they have completed it, or are about to complete it, at an eligible FE college in Greater London. If applicants are taking the Access to Medicine course and have previously started or completed A levels, all academic achievements will be assessed. • Applicants taking an Access to Medicine course are expected to achieve 60 credits overall, 45 credits at level 3, 36 level 3 credits at distinction and the remaining 9 at merit. • All applicants must sit the UKCAT in the appropriate admissions cycle. • Applicants must be able to demonstrate a genuine "commitment to the community" in their UCAS statement. This could be in the form of regular voluntary work at school or within the wider community.
Eligibility through Realising Opportunities (RO)
The EMDP admits 50 students a year from non-selective state schools in Greater London but may offer up to five places (maximum) each year to RO participants from any non-selective state school in the UK who meet all eligibility criteria and are successful at interview.
Please note that candidates taking part in RO who are attending an A level school or college in Greater London must also be attending a non-selective, state A level school/college.
If you successfully complete the RO programme your application to the EMDP at King's will receive additional consideration when short-listing for interview. This is dependent on you meeting the schools' eligibility criteria and some additional admissions criteria for this programme, specifically that you have attended only non-selective, state schools since the age of 11, that you have achieved at least a grade B in Maths and English at GCSE, that you are completing three A levels including Biology and Chemistry, and that you have sat the UKCAT.
RO candidates who want to apply to the EMDP should also be able to demonstrate evidence of "commitment to community" in their UCAS statement: this could be in the form of regular voluntary work at school or within the wider community. We would also like candidates to have taken up all opportunities available to them through RO for attending medically-themed outreach events, and would ask for evidence of that in your UCAS statement.
RO candidates who are successful at interview will be expected to achieve at least BBB at A level.
How are applications to the EMDP assessed?
Once applicants have satisfied all eligibility criteria, applications are assessed using a number of contextual details included on the UCAS form, including the personal statement and educational reference.
We are looking for candidates who:
1. Are academically capable of coping with the course: some evidence of "excellence" at GCSE would be an advantage to candidates who have not yet completed their A levels.
2. Can demonstrate evidence of genuine enthusiasm for medicine and a realistic understanding of the demands of the professional life of a doctor. For example: have you taken part in any medical outreach opportunities? For more information about King's Outreach for Medicine programme, see: www.kcl.ac.uk/outreachmed
3. Will contribute to the College community, have experience of being effective and responsible leaders, and who have gained some practical experience of working as part of a team.
Special consideration
Special consideration will be given to candidates who:
• Are in care.
• Are attending a sixth form school or college whose educational performance is ranked to be in the bottom third of schools eligible for the EMDP. Educational performance is assessed by using the "Average Point Score per Entry" data, as published by the Department for Education and updated annually. The most recent data will be used.
• Are completing or have completed King's widening participation schemes, including K+ and Outreach for Medicine events (such as Med-View) or are participating in Realising Opportunities.
How are candidates selected for interview?
Once all contextual factors are considered, around 180 of the most competitive and suitable candidates will be invited for interview. The EMDP is a competitive programme with around 10 applications for every place. It is not possible to interview everyone who is eligible and meets the minimum entry requirements, and we will select only the most promising candidates in the context of their educational background for interview.
What is the interview process?
Interviews are expected to take place in March 2016. The EMDP interviews candidates by using a "Multiple Mini Interview" format (MMI), where candidates rotate around a number of different stations, each lasting between 5 and 10 minutes. An interviewer will be present in each station. All candidates will take part in a short interview "debriefing" session after the process is completed.
How can I prepare for interview?
Candidates may be asked to discuss aspects of their UCAS statement, to answer questions on particular topics, or to complete specific tasks. You can prepare for the MMI by thinking about why you are interested in medicine and the experiences you have had that make you suitable for the degree and for the profession. You should also expect to be asked to demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, and some understanding of current issues in medicine, public health and medical ethics.
We are looking for candidates who have excellent attention to detail, can think on their feet and be reflective about their experiences by responding naturally to a question, rather than repeating memorised phrases or ideas. We would also expect candidates to demonstrate openness, honesty, clarity in thought and expression, and a realistic and professional approach to being selected for a place at medical school.
The EMDP programme has five key aims: a) To widen participation in medicine by levelling the educational playing field; b) To prepare outstanding doctors capable of working as members of teams to provide safe and effective patient-centred care; c) To educate students to become clinical scientists committed to life-long learning and scholarship; d) To nurture resilient professionals capable of adapting to changing healthcare needs; and e) To inspire collaborative leaders actively engaged in the improvement of patient and population health
The curriculum is divided into three Stages:
• Stage One (Foundations of Medicine) focuses on biomedical sciences, illustrated and informed by clinical practice. There are opportunities to develop clinical skills in simulated environments and nurture the core values enshrined in the NHS Constitution.
• Stage Two (Principles of Clinical Practice) focuses on the care of patients with common conditions in a range of clinical settings. Students will also follow patients for prolonged periods of time to better understand how to deliver whole-person care. This is underpinned by biomedical and population sciences.
• Stage Three (Integrated Clinical Practice) is vocationally oriented and includes the opportunity to study abroad for an elective period. Students also contribute to quality improvement projects and develop additional skills to transform patient and population health at home and abroad. Inter-professional training and simulation at increasing levels of fidelity are important curriculum elements.
In addition to the core curriculum, medical students have a choice of optional elements that allow you to explore topics of interest in greater depth across our Multi-Faculty University and with our clinical partners. Twinned with 12 prestigious global institutions, King's has an exceptionally wide range of opportunities for study abroad. Clinical rotations can also sometimes be taken overseas.
Lectures and seminars are complemented by practical-skills training, e-learning and teaching by patient educators and student peers. A key resource for all King's medical students is the Virtual Campus, a constantly updated online environment which you can access at any time, from anywhere in the world. As well as providing administrative support including timetables and reading lists, the virtual campus offers innovative teaching and learning resources such as clinical videos and interactive scenarios.
Students may also opt to undertake a one-year Intercalated BSc degree, which often includes an experimental research element.
Although there are four entry routes into medicine at King's, all students follow the same core MBBS curriculum.
Outcome of the programme
The arrangements for registration outlined below are those that apply at present. There is a proposal that the UK Parliament change the law to allow full registration at the point of graduation from medical school, which would allow graduates to practice without the need for a first postgraduate year of provisional registration. If Parliament changes the law, full registration is unlikely to be moved to the end of medical school before 2022. It should also be noted that the current situation where all graduates from UK medical schools find employment within the NHS in their first postgraduate year is already no longer guaranteed.
Currently, at the end of the undergraduate programme you will receive your MBBS degree, which is a primary medical qualification (PMQ). Holding a PMQ entitles you to provisional registration with the General Medical Council. Provisionally registered doctors can only practise in approved Foundation Year 1 posts: the law does not allow provisionally registered doctors to undertake any other type of work. To obtain a Foundation Year 1 post you apply during the final year of your undergraduate course through the UK Foundation Programme Office Application System, which allocates these posts to graduates on a competitive basis.
Successful completion of the Foundation Year 1 programme is normally achieved within 12 months and is marked by the award of a Certificate of Experience. You are then eligible to apply for full registration with the General Medical Council. You need full registration with a licence to practise for unsupervised medical practice in the NHS or private practice in the UK.
Although this information is currently correct, students need to be aware that regulations in this area may change from time to time.
King's offers students within the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine unrivalled educational resources including the Gordon Museum which is the largest pathology museum in the UK. King's Chantler Simulation & Interactive Learning Centre is a state-of-the-art interprofessional undergraduate and postgraduate facility providing clinical classrooms, hospital and community care settings.
Stage 1 Foundations of Medicine
Stage 1 will be covered over years 1 and 2
Stage 1 covers: • Foundations of Biomedical Science: Students learn the fundamental principles of anatomy and physiology of body systems, metabolism, communication within and between cells, molecular and cell biology, immunology and pharmacology
• Biomedical Science: The students develop a deeper knowledge of biomedical sciences by practical work in anatomy supported by appropriate material concerning the functional anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of systems
• Population Science and Quality Improvement: This introduces students to the structure of the Health Service in the UK and the role of organizations such as the GMC, BMA, medical Royal Colleges, NICE and MRC. Students are set on a learning path relating to the concepts of leadership, teamwork (including multi – disciplinary teamwork), and quality improvement.
• Genes, Behaviour and Environment: There is an emphasis on learning about the complex interplay of genes, behaviours and the environment and the opportunities to work with patient and the public to modify risk. Students are set on the path of a patient-centred approach to medicine
• Introduction to Clinical Skills and Communication: Students are introduced to basic skills of communication and clinical practice using simulated clinical environments and clinical skills. Patient educators are used to help students develop their confidence taking a history and undertaking a physical examination. Once students have demonstrated that they can be trusted to work with patients in a supervised environment, they are allowed to progress.
• Doctor and Society: This covers the ethical and legal principles underpinning medical practice. Students explore the social contract between doctors and society and what it means to be a member of the medical profession. It also includes preparatory workshops on student health, wellbeing and resilience.
• Student Selected Components: These are areas of study for which students are able to select the subject and which give additional opportunities to explore areas of interest to them in allied fields such as: modern languages, medical humanities and the Associateship of King's College
In addition, there is EMDP-specific material: • Chemistry • Numeracy • Pharmacology • Anatomy • Academic English • Enquiry-based learning • Science Communication
Stage 1 continued covering:

Stage 2: Principles of Clinical Practice
Stage 2 is covered during years 3 and 4 of the programme
Stage 2 provides greater emphasis on clinical practice and uses the experience of longitudinal placements and care pathways to integrate biomedical sciences, population sciences and generic clinical skills. It:
• Longitudinal placements: these are designed to foster a whole-person approach to patient care. Student learn with a panel of patients or other service users in general practice, mental health or other care settings. The placements are designed to help students develop clinical, shared decision-making and patient advocacy capabilities.
• Clinical Practice: Students are allocated to short clinical placements (typically 4 week blocks) organised around common patient care pathways. These opportunities to both develop generic clinical skills but also the ability to provide care for patients with common acute and long-term conditions. These common conditions provide the context for further integration of biomedical sciences and population sciences.
• Diagnostics, Pathology and Therapeutics: Students learn to identify appropriate investigations and develop the capabilities to develop safe, effective and economic management plans. The course also covers the imaging sciences, microbiology, immunology, genetics, bio-engineering, pathology and pharmacology.
• Biomedical Sciences: This builds on Stage 1 as students develop a deeper knowledge of biomedical sciences by practical work in anatomy and physiology relevant to their clinical placements.
• Genes, Behaviour and Environment: This builds on stage 1 and relates genetics, behavioural sciences, microbiology, immunology, pathology, environmental sciences, population sciences to their clinical placements.
• Population Science and Quality Improvement: Drawing upon their experiences on clinical placement experiences, students are expected to critically reflect on the factors that enhance patient experience, reduce the risk of error and improve outcomes.
• Doctor and Society: This builds on stage 1 and helps students grow in self-awareness, develop their reflective practice skills, apply ethical and legal principles in medical practice and embed life-long learning skills.
Stage 2: Principles of Clinical Practice continued
Year 4 offers the same Core Components as in Year 2 with the addition of
• Doctor as teacher: covering educational theory and practice to support students in developing their confidence and competence as educators.
• Tasters: these provide opportunities for students to explore possible career options.
• Projects: these provide opportunities for students to develop teaching skills, quality improvement skills and a knowledge of global health
An intercalated year can be taken at this point. This might include anatomy, biochemistry, computing for biologists, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, neuroscience, pathology, nutrition, pharmacology, physiology, psychology, as well as languages and humanities subjects.
Stage 3 Integrated Clinical Practice Stage 3 is covered during years 5 and 6 of the programme During Stage 3 students consolidate and develop their capabilities in a range of different settings and grow in confidence as they contribute, under direct supervision, to the care of patients in a range of different settings. • Clinical blocks: The clinical blocks include placements in mental health, child health, women's health, general practice, outpatients, elective care, emergency medicine and acute and critical care. They are designed to enable students to develop their capabilities in a range of settings so they can both manage both the acutely unwell patient and patients with long-term conditions. Mental health will be covered both as distinct block but also as a common thread to the other clinical placements to foster a whole-person approach to patient care.
• Diagnostics, Pathology and Therapeutics: This builds on the module in Stage 2. Students are expected to develop focussed plans to confirm a diagnosis, contribute to the development of management plans that take account of co-morbidities.
• Doctor and Society: This builds on stages 1 and helps students to model professional attributes as they take increasing responsibility for patient care and their own learning.
• Population Science and Quality Improvement: This focuses on the improvement of patient care in a range of different settings and include a live quality improvement project.
• Global Health: This covers the global determinants of health and disease and variations in healthcare delivery and medical practice. It supports students with the preparation for their elective including the ethics of undertaking an elective in another country and the steps that need to be taken to safeguard one's own health.
UG programme year six
Stage 3 Integrated Clinical Practice continued Year 6 offers the same Core Components as in Year 5 with the addition of
• Electives: A final year elective offers students the opportunity to undertake an eight-week elective in the UK or abroad which will include a project, assessed on return.
• Tasters: These are in a clinical setting and offer students the opportunity to explore possible career options.
• Preparation for practice: The aim of this block is to train medical professionals who can be trusted to provide safe and effective patient care as a member of a multidisciplinary team and under supervision. This programme focuses on the generic roles and responsibilities of a F1 doctor to help facilitate a smooth transitional to work as an F1 doctor. Induction and additional shadowing opportunities are typically provided by employers/deaneries in the week prior to taking up an F1 post.

Fire Starter: Reek Da Villian
The Big Apple is bubbling again, with Lloyd Banks leading the way, spitting that gritty New York type of rhyme. The Queens star is holding down his borough, but he has plenty of company heating up the rest of the NYC streets, from a reinvigorated Saigon (what up, Rich Nice?) to Vado to upstart Fred the Godson.
Busta Rhymes' latest protégé, Reek Da Villian, is making a lot of noise coming out of Long Island, a spot we haven't had a heat-tossing MC from in a while.
The Strong Island representative has been burning it up with his spastic "Mechanic," featuring Bus-a-Bus and Swizz Beatz. Reek has managed to keep company with some big names, recruiting DJ Khaled, Cam'ron, Method Man, Vado and Nelly for the remix.
"I'm just blessed, because being a new person in the game, I'm rapping with guys that are already solidified and stars," Reek told Mixtape Daily. "And the way they greet me and treat me, as if I'm a regular. I'm going around being around thugs on the block, and now it's a bunch of guys that are millionaires and superstars that are becoming a part of my day-to-day."
He's following in the footsteps of some heavyweights from Long Island, including De La Soul, Rakim, Public Enemy and Keith Murray.
"Back when I was growing up, it was beautiful, 'cause you could be in your town and see someone like a Busta Rhymes or Rakim come through. Now it's like a deserted land. We haven't had an artist in the game since Keith Murray. It's not pressure, but I got a lot of weight on my shoulders."
Reek is hoping to ease that pressure with his future selections, from a Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama, a project with Mick Boogie and the upstart's plans to remake Nas' Illmatic.
"We really just trying to heat up the momentum and build up the steam," Reek said. "So when my big homie gets ready to head into these offices, he can throw some weight around."

HOAHIO - PEEK-ARA-BOO (CD - USED m-/m-)
"Hoahio's second CD is even more quirky and varied than the first. Joining koto virtuoso Yagi Michiyo and Kansai vocalist Haco this time is Era Mari, a remarkable young percussionist from Tokyo. Her brilliant vibes and marimba playing gives this release a bit of a Beefheart flavor, but of course there's much more than that. Noisy improv, charming folksongs and romantic moods from this classic trio out of Japan." (label info)

how do we implement dynamic forms in Skill, similar with the Grids Form or Edit Property Form, i've checked the help file but no sufficient example for this, only given are the FIXED type
I need this to solve some problems that user encounter when using Long forms
I have also tried contacting our Allegro Reprensentative but they just suggested in using the TABSET
still no answer?
In reply to aeris:
I don't think that you can currently do it the way you want.
The best idea may be to dynamically create your form and restrict the size based on the user requirements. Maybe you could check their screen size before creating the form.
In reply to eDave:
I'm just curious how the Grid Form implement its form, same with the Edit Property form
Both have a standard size form, and controls are added in a somewhat scrollable "panel"
I have an exemple but i don't no if it's ok !!! please send me a Mail i will send the cadence exemple.
These type of forms (VARTILES) are not supported in Skill. You should use the GRID control.

The Mad God
A SMALL number of white men lived in Fort Yukon. These men had been long in the country. They called themselves Sour-doughs, and took great pride in so classifying themselves. For other men, new in the land, they felt nothing but disdain. The men who came ashore from the steamers were newcomers. They were known as chechaquos, and they always wilted at the application of the name. They made their bread with baking-powder. This was the invidious distinction between them and the Sour-doughs, who, forsooth, made their bread from sour-dough because they had no baking- powder.
All of which is neither here nor there. The men in the fort disdained the newcomers and enjoyed seeing them come to grief. Especially did they enjoy the havoc worked amongst the newcomers' dogs by White Fang and his disreputable gang. When a steamer arrived, the men of the fort made it a point always to come down to the bank and see the fun. They looked forward to it with as much anticipation as did the Indian dogs, while they were not slow to appreciate the savage and crafty part played by White Fang.
But there was one man amongst them who particularly enjoyed the sport. He would come running at the first sound of a steamboat's whistle; and when the last fight was over and White Fang and the pack had scattered, he would return slowly to the fort, his face heavy with regret. Sometimes, when a soft Southland dog went down, its death-cry under the fangs of the pack, this man would be unable to contain himself, and would leap into the air and cry out with delight. And always he had a sharp and covetous eye for White Fang.
This man was called "Beauty" by the other men of the fort. No one knew his first name, and in general he was known in

Darrington beats Orcas in eight innings
DARRINGTON — A two-run double by Andrew Young in the bottom of the eighth inning gave the Darrington baseball team a 11-10 victory over Orcas Island Tuesday.
After a leadoff single and a hit-batter started off the inning, Young came through with his second hit of the day to give the Loggers the victory.
"I was feeling well because we started the inning with the top of the lineup," Darrington head coach Cam Ross said. "I knew if we could get guys on we could get something going."
The Loggers trailed 5-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth before putting together an eight-run inning. With two outs and the scored tied at 4-4, Orcas Island walked five batters in a row and committed an error to put across four runs for Darrington.
Orcas Island responded with four runs of their own in the top of the seventh to put the game into extra innings.

Published November 2011
Flying to the Light by Elyse Salpeter
Book Description
How far can you run, until you just can't run anymore? Seventeen year old Michael Anderson and his kid brother, Danny, find themselves in mortal danger after their parents are kidnapped. Michael discovers Danny has a special gift—he knows what happens after a person dies—and now others want to know too. The brothers must outwit and outrun Samuel Herrington, a lethal biophysicist, the FBI, and even fellow Americans in a harrowing cross-country chase, because whoever gets to Danny first will have the power to rule the world.
Book Review
This is a story told from the point of view of the teenage brother of a child Danny who has special powers and is being relentlessly hunted by some powerful, evil people.
The book is simply written and tells the story in a straightforward and fast paced style. The two main characters Michael and Danny are delightful, likeable and vulnerable and always seem to escape danger just at the right moment. Danny is deaf and the family all sign which is refreshing to see in literature as it is rare to represent hearing impaired or deaf characters.
Some of the ways that the boys manage avoid capture and death are a bit too far fetched, but after all it is fiction.
Michael is so scared and brave that he becomes the real hero of the tale. There are several point in the narrative, while searching for their kidnapped parents that the that the brothers really don't know what is happening and why some people they trusted are now trying to capture them and steal Danny's secrets.This lends tension to the book, along with lots of movement, different locations and changes of transport, cars, planes, a boat, a limo.
As well as all the action there is a very emotional element to the relationship between the brothers. Danny has the special powers but Michael will protect him with his life if necessary, even though he does not really understand how special his brother is until the end of the story. The descriptions of the holding place between life and death are very imaginative and will give food for thought to many readers.

Thousands of supporters of Slovenia's bruised Prime Minister Janez Jansa took part in a show of force in the capital Ljubljana on Friday, hours before a planned counter-protest by his opponents.
Some 12,000 people, according to organisers, attended the rally in Ljubljana's central Congress Square. Police estimated there were about 9,000 present.
"We've been pushed to the point at which we will have to act firmly against this leftist fascism, against threats, violence and chaos," Jansa, attending a European Union summit in Brussels, told the flag-waving crowd in a pre-recorded speech.
"This is just the beginning, we will have to gather more often and show our strength."
Jansa is fighting to stay in office at the head of a government with just 36 seats in the 90-seat parliament after two parties withdrew from the coalition, the latest on Tuesday.
The two parties abandoned the centre-right Jansa after Slovenia's corruption watchdog levelled accusations of tax irregularities against the premier in January. A third party has also threatened to quit if Jansa does not resign.
Jansa, already on trial over an allegedly dodgy defence deal, has rejected the new accusations and said he intends to stay in office.
Jansa's lack of support in parliament makes it tough for him to implement austerity cuts and the deep structural reforms needed to pull the two-million-strong country out of recession.
Problems at Slovenia's banks, struggling under a mountain of bad debts, have raised speculation that the former Yugoslav republic, once a model newcomer to the European Union, may need a bailout.
A 52-year-old jobless demonstrator from Ljubljana, Irena, told AFP at the demo that she came to express her patriotic feelings and "for that Slovenia we got in the 1990s when we declared independence (from Yugoslavia)."
"I'm not a rightist, I'm a patriot, for Slovenia and for me and my children getting a job," she said, adding that she was afraid the situation in Slovenia was worsening "and could, horribly, end in a civil war."
Joze Krev, a 55-year-old hotel owner from the northern Slovenian region of Koroska, said he thought the corruption allegations against Jansa were politically motivated and that he was protesting "to show my patriotism, back Jansa."
"I believe Jansa will resist. If not, the next elections will show," Krev said.

Gaining experience on the course was the goal for the Fairbury Jeffs junior varsity golf team at last Wednesday's 13-team Thayer Central Invite played on the Hebron Country Club golf course.
As a team, Fairbury shot a score of 409 to place ninth in the final team standings.
Sutton won the invitational firing a score of 345, along with having three top 10 medalists on the team.
Fairbury did not have any medalists on the day.
Blake Bauer led the way for the Jeffs carding an 18-hole score of 100, Robby Meyer and Ace York both had scores of 101, Anthony Moyer shot a 107, and Tanner Novotny finished with a score of 115.
According to Fairbury Jeffs head golf coach Jed Martin this invite was used to give some of Fairbury's younger golfers a chance to play in a tournament enviroment.

For the most part, it was a very good day for both the Diller-Odell and Meridian track and field teams at last Wednesday's D-3 District Track and Field Meet held on the Auburn High School track.
At the conclusion of the meet, Diller-Odell had qualified six competitors, while Meridian will have seven athletes participate in the NSAA State Track and Field Championships held this weekend at Omaha Burke Stadium.
The Griffins placed third in the nine-team field chalking up a score of 71 points, while Sterling won the district title racking up 112 points.

I have downloaded and installed Mystique and all seems to be working ok apart from the twitter widget.
I have dragged the widget into the sidebar, and written my username in the box (replacing the default "wordpress" one) yet all it says is "error retrieving tweets (twitter down?). (It even said the error when wordpress was the selected username)
I am on a paid leadhoster account and so (surely) i will have no restrictions when php is concerned?
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

d·j·i·tis dee-jay-ahy-tis - simply means inflammation of a disc jockey's head. Just learning to beatmatch rarely causes this disorder. Onset DJitis generally occurs after he/she has performed live at either a party, club, or festival. Females with DJosis tend to perpetuate this problem. DJitis and DJosis are commonly found in the same circles of people and both are considered extremely contagious.
-DJ Douchebag contracted DJitis and can only spin at outdoor festivals now because his head won't fit through the door of most clubs.

Bobby Rahal is a racer, but he's also a businessman.

Al Gore and his co-investors just sold liberal cable channel Current TV to Al Jazeera, the network bankrolled by the emir of Qatar. How much in carbon offsets does Mr. Gore need to balance his estimated $100 million from the sale to an oil sheik?
Mr. Gore, co-founder Joel Hyatt, a lawyer and Democratic fundraiser, explained: "When considering the several suitors who were interested in acquiring Current, it became clear to us that Al Jazeera was founded with the same goals we had." Among them: "to give voice to those whose voices are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the important stories that no one else is telling."
Founded in 1996, Al Jazeera became well known after 9/11. In a November 2001 New York Times Magazine NYT -0.46%article, Middle East scholar Fouad Ajami wrote that the network's staffers are "either pan-Arabists—nationalists of a leftist bent committed to the idea of a single nation across the many frontiers of the Arab world—or Islamists."
In 2007, the liberal Nation magazine said that "field reports are overwhelmingly negative with violent footage played over and over. . . . There's a clear underlying message: that the way out of this spiral is political Islam." Dave Marash, formerly of ABC's "Nightline," quit Al Jazeera's English-language station in 2008 when producers in Qatar ordered up anti-American programming.
In 2008, Al Jazeera threw an on-air party for Samir Kuntar when he was released from an Israeli prison. Kuntar led a Palestine Liberation Front terrorist team that kidnapped an Israeli family in 1979. He shot the father and killed the 4-year-old daughter by smashing her head against rocks along the beach. In footage available on YouTube, Al Jazeera's Beirut bureau chief hands Kuntar a scimitar to cut the celebratory cake and says: "This is the sword of the Arabs, Samir."
In 2009, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, host of the network's most popular Arabic-language show, "Shariah and Life," said on air (also available on YouTube): "Oh, Allah, take this oppressive Jewish, Zionist band of people. Oh Allah, do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers and kill them, down to the very last one." Perhaps Mr. Gore doesn't have access to YouTube.
Al Jazeera's coverage of the Arab Spring has been uneven, reflecting the emir's interests. Former Al Jazeera journalist Ali Hashem wrote in London's Guardian in April that government officials had "asked the channel to cover up the situation in Bahrain," Qatar's neighbor, where a Sunni monarch is brutally suppressing a pro-democracy uprising led by majority Shiite protesters.
Judea Pearl, whose son Daniel was the Wall Street Journal reporter kidnapped and beheaded in 2002 by al Qaeda terrorists, once had high hopes that Al Jazeera would be more open than other Arab government media. But he has written that the network has "committed itself unconditionally and unabashedly to the service of Hamas and Hezbollah. . . . It is no longer a clash with journalistic standards but a clash with the norms of civilized behavior."
So it's no surprise that before buying Current, Al Jazeera managed to get access to only a few million cable households in the U.S.
News consumers understand that a former vice president justifying a big payday is not the best judge of "journalistic integrity." Arabs deserve and will some day have a network independent of any of their governments. When this happens, Americans may even watch.

Seven members of a French family, three of them children, have been abducted in Cameroon three days after seven other foreigners were taken away at gunpoint in neighbouring Nigeria, raising fears that Islamist militants have started a campaign of capturing Western hostages in the region.

He was meanwhile involved in setting up the Urban Wildlife Group and enrolled for a doctorate in plant sociology, acquiring knowledge that would one day give rise to many native hedges and wildflower meadows.
