A PGA Tour record shared by Wisconsin golfers Jerry Kelly and J.P. Hayes, among others, fell when Mark Calcavecchia made nine consecutive birdies in the second round of the RBC Canadian Open.
Calcavecchia started on No. 10 and birdied nine in a row starting on No. 12. The previous record for consecutive birdies was eight by Kelly, Hayes, Bob Goalby, Fuzzy Zoeller, Dewey Arnette and Edward Fryatt.
Omar Uresti made nine birdies in a row on the Nationwide Tour in the 1994 Shreveport Open.

Few associates in top-end finance appear so "comfortable and relaxed." Perhaps it's down to the way Cahill "fosters independence." Or perhaps it's the two bonuses a year that keep spirits high...
CAHILL means business: an enticing reputation for corporate work and a formidable litigation practice lure intrepid associates into this century-old Wall Street fortress. Chambers USA recognizes Cahill's mastery, awarding it top gongs for banking & finance, capital markets, insurance disputes, and media & entertainment litigation. Insiders told us one or more of these practice strengths attracted them here, litigators saying the First Amendment practice, headed by superstar Floyd Abrams, is a particular magnet. A word of warning, though: "Some people are drawn to Cahill and think they'll be First Amendment lawyers. It sets Cahill apart but it's never something you're doing full-time." Roughly half of junior associates work in the corporate group, and half in litigation (of which Abrams' team is a part).
With just two US offices (NY and DC), Cahill felt "smaller" to sources "compared to other firms of similar caliber. When you're narrowing down your job search it acts as a promise of face-to-face interaction and meaty tasks." Such hands-on responsibility comes at a price, and Cahill expects its associates to work harder than most. But in return they get a bigger pay packet: for the past few years they've received a welcome midyear windfall in addition to the end-of-year bonus (jump to the Hours section for more info).
The Work
Cahill's free-market system for getting work appealed to many interviewees when they applied, and didn't disappoint now they're here. Associates approach partners, and vice versa. "The way they sell it is pretty much the way it plays out, but initially work might not be as free-flowing as you expected. You might agree to take something on, and then something else comes along. As you learn to navigate the system, though, you can achieve real control over how much and when you work. Rigid assignment systems at other firms sound horrible!"
"Rigid assignment systems at other firms sound horrible!"
Juniors in the corporate group had worked on "credit agreements and debt capital markets, a lot of leverage finance and some equity work." Sources concurred: "When you start you're doing diligence, then it evolves to drafting ancillary documents, and eventually you're the first one to hold the pen to credit agreements and major transactional documents. As a third-year you get to do almost everything, including communicating directly with clients." Corporate associates felt that "deals being leanly staffed helps juniors get substantive experience: midlevel and senior associates nurture you and guide you, and soon enough you're able to take some of the drafting off their plate and do it yourself."

Litigators informed us that "a lot of the group's work is financial services litigation, representing banks and other financial services companies. Investigations are definitely on the up." Associates found "there's a big difference between large and small cases in terms of tasks. As a junior on a large case like an FCPA [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] or SEC investigation, there can be a lot of doc review. Some people choose to take on one big case for a year or two, with smaller cases on top to get more experience." As they gain experience, tasks vary to include "preparing witnesses for depositions, and being involved in strategy." Overall, insiders felt fulfilled, describing the work as "not run of the mill" and enthusing that "it's the stuff that appears in newspapers, which is pretty cool."
Some litigators can choose to "take a year out to do a judicial clerkship. The firm supports you and writes you a recommendation when needed. When you get back you're given a lot of responsibility."

Pro bono
"Some people spend a whole month billing pro bono and no-one minds."
Responsibility can also be sought via Cahill's "very active" stream of pro bono. "Opportunities are mostly for litigators, which doesn't mean a corporate associate can't take them on," we heard, and indeed most interviewees were able to reel off past or current experiences of pro bono. "We have a partnership with Sanctuary for Families, who gave me the opportunity to go to family court and take a testimony from a client." Another spoke of links with the Legal Aid Society, "involved in criminal appeals." There's no minimum hours requirement nor a cap on pro bono, and one reckoned "it accounts for about 10% of my billables. Some people spend a whole month billing pro bono and no-one minds." Opportunities also come in the form of "non-legal stuff" (which doesn't count as pro bono hours, though) like "tutoring kids through Sanctuary for Families, and going into schools to get students interested in law. It's made easy for us to do this kind of thing."
Pro bono hours
Overwhelmingly, sources described Cahill's culture as "comfortable and relaxed. Not in that California jeans-and-flip-flops way, only in the sense that the firm values and fosters independence so it doesn't need to impose many rules." This relative lack of strictures extends to exonerating associates from "being in the office late at night when you could be working from home," and from a "strict dress code."
Most felt the free-market system had something to do with this as "it affords you freedom and allows you to work for people you like. When there's camaraderie and people get on, the atmosphere benefits hugely." Generally, interviewees felt that senior lawyers were "accepting of juniors' insights and always prepared to explain something." One shared: "Unlike the last firm I worked at, here when a first-year is ready to do a 'second-year' task, nothing's stopping them."
"The firm values and fosters independence so it doesn't need to impose many rules."
Some sources socialize with peers outside the office "every week, multiple times. They're my friends." Associates can also gather at "monthly happy hours, cupcake breaks, a fishing trip the firm organizes every year, and our extravagant Christmas shindig at the Ritz, inclusive of a videoed skit where associates make fun of partners." Cahill summers can enjoy "watching a Mets game from the firm's party deck, going to Broadway for dinner and a show, and several cocktail events."
The "slightly old and scrappy" offices were seen affectionately by associates as "another symbol of a culture that values personality. There's no beautiful marble floor or incredible art collection. We get our work done, we do it well, and that speaks for itself." That's all very well, but how scuzzy are we actually talking? "They're probably on the lower end of fanciness," said one, still skirting around the subject, "but they're comfortable." Another was similarly diplomatic: "They're understated." Ultimately though, there were no real complaints; in fact, we heard about different coffee machines ("they tried them all"), a whole new floor "with a glass conference room," and "generous tech stipends for your office. You get your own office a year and a half in, at the latest." The weirdest office accessory among associates? "A dartboard."
"There's no beautiful marble floor or incredible art collection."
The Cahill mothership is located "in the financial district, which is better than Midtown because it's far less busy," sources agreed. "I heard traffic in Midtown is horrendous," one mused. Associates enjoyed "being next to the water and sitting outside on the seaport for lunch," as well as appreciating that "there's a bunch of subways nearby."
Hours & Compensation
While a comparative study of the best machine-made cappuccinos and a picturesque seafront lunch may be wonderful ways to take a break, make no mistake: Cahill associates' working days are serious business. "No one would say this job is easy in that respect," one admitted, "but the hardest part isn't the hours themselves, just how unpredictable they can be." A quiet day could see an associate arriving for 9.30 or 10am, and strolling out at 5.30pm, "to probably log in later that evening for a bit." But a busy one can take home-time right up to midnight. Working "many weekends" was considered a given. "Working from home is definitely an option, and it needs to be because you're always on call. At any given time you might get an email that requires a couple of hours of work." So while interviewees did complain that "it's hard to take control of your schedule, and you can't just say to your friends, 'See you on Wednesday at 8'," they also conceded that "this is where the free-market system comes in to help you if you've learned to say no. You can choose when to give yourself a break."
"No one would say this job is easy."
There's no billable hours requirement, but sources reckoned "you're expected to do 1,800, most people aim for 2,000, and you usually end up with 2,200." We've previously reported on Cahill's rep for giving its lawyers super-sized bonuses. One of the exec committee bosses, Jonathan Schaffzin, is quick to assert that this isn't just free money: "We expect our associates to work harder than their peers at other firms, and we're committed to taking account of that. We paid a midyear bonus in 2015 which I don't think other firms did. We do review it annually, but I've no reason to believe we won't continue this practice."
Training & Development
To prepare juniors for the hard work ahead, their time at Cahill begins with a week-long training program aptly referred to as "boot camp. It's helpful, but it's hard to contextualize so early on. The informal training we receive on the job is more useful."
Where other firms might refer to "mentors," Cahill has adopted the term "liaison partners." Each associate is paired up with one upon arrival, though after that the scheme is a bit hit and miss: "Your liaison partner is theoretically the person you'd reach out to if you're stressed or have any questions," we heard, "but most of us don't know that partner very well at all. It's more likely you'll have picked up an informal mentor from the people you frequently work with." Liaison partners also deliver annual reviews to their assigned associates, and insiders shared their hopes that "the firm is working on making formal reviews more frequent." We checked with hiring partner Brian Markley, who clarifies that "we've incorporated reviews from a greater number of reviewers and expect to provide more feedback on assignments at regular intervals throughout the year."
While respondents were divided on whether their law schools "did a good job at diversity" or not, they all agreed that "Cahill could do better. It's clearly on the partnership's radar. There are committees designed to help and quarterly newsletters, but looking around it's not very diverse." Sources seemed to think that "we do better in terms of gender than race." Jonathan Schaffzin echoes this candidly: "We're still striving to improve and increase diversity at the firm. It's a challenge but it's one that's a high priority." As of spring 2016, 20% of partners are female, and 93% of partners are white.
Get Hired
On the subject of law schools represented by the associate cohort, our interviewees were more approving. "We all come from a pretty wide variety of schools, and it's particularly evident in the younger classes." Individual qualities perceived as valuable included "being highly self-motivated and comfortable taking control of your own career, since there's not much hand-holding here." Some also reflected that "people tend to be outgoing and sociable but no-one is going to fault you if you're not. There's a lot of individuality, which makes for a varied and interesting environment." Insiders were also keen to dish out tips they picked up along the way. One opined: "Don't be intimidated by the free-market system; it doesn't create a cut-throat environment, it just demands maturity and initiative. Think about whether you're prepared to work very hard, and if you are then make sure you look after yourself physically."
"Don't be intimidated by the free-market system."
Strategy & Future
Corporate juniors and midlevels felt confident that if they aspired to partnership it would be "achievable. It's up to you if you want to pursue it, though it's not like you become partner and suddenly work nine to five." Litigators, meanwhile, vented their concern regarding "the recent lateral hires born out of the firm's expansion in the field of investigations. The corporate department seems to be grown more organically, with most partners being people who summered with the firm, while litigation seems to be growing laterally recently. If I was an eighth-year, it would make me mad." We quizzed exec committee member Jonathan Schaffzin, who was adamant this is not the case: "We are a firm with a strong emphasis on promotion from within and that philosophy hasn't changed. We've had some great development opportunities in the regulatory area that have required bringing in the necessary expertise with a few lateral hires. But overall we've done very little, and we promote litigation associates to partner on a basis commensurate with our corporate associates."
Speaking of Cahill's future strategy in general, Schaffzin states: "We will continue to focus on growing our litigation and regulatory investigations practices. Our clients include a number of sophisticated financial institutions that face continued complexity in terms of government regulation." He adds that "on the corporate side we will continue to provide the highest-quality service to clients" and that "an important facet of our strategy is associate development and retention. We have become more transparent in recent years and our internal review process has become more robust."
Interview with executive committee member Jonathan Schaffzin
Chambers Associate: Have there been any highlights at the firm over the past year that you'd like our readers to know about?
Jonathan Schaffzin: It's been a really successful 12 months. We continue to grow our regulatory and investigations and litigation practice areas and have had some great success. Earlier in the year we represented McGraw Hill settling its litigation with the US government, as well as other cases relating to the financial crisis. Despite matters such as these getting resolved, we have successfully re-engaged everyone on the litigation side in other new and interesting projects. We've been as busy as we've ever been on the litigation side. The corporate practice continues to be extremely successful as well. We've had some of our best months in IPO and equity work, and we're still at the top of the league tables for representing clients in debt financing transactions.
CA: Has your strategy for the future changed in any way?
JS: We will continue to focus on growing our litigation and regulatory investigations practices. Our clients include a number of sophisticated financial institutions that face continued complexity in terms of government regulation. We don't see that diminishing in the near to medium-term future, and we consider our relationships with our financial institution clients to be deep. Pierre Gentin – who was a global head of litigation and regulatory investigations for Credit Suisse – joined us recently to complement that work, and our strategy is to continue to develop that litigation team.
On the corporate side we will continue to provide the highest quality service to clients so we can maintain our terrifically strong franchise with financial institutions and financing transactions. We are representing the financing sources for Dell in its $67 billion purchase of EMC, to give an example of a recent work highlight. And we continue to seek ways to diversify our corporate practice.
An important facet of our strategy is associate development and retention. We have become more transparent in recent years and our internal review process has become more robust. We pay above market bonuses when our associates are clearly working harder than their peers. Young associates are so important to the future of the firm, the most important thing we can do strategically is to facilitate and encourage their development.
CA: Associates were very happy about their bonuses, but they worried that the extra remuneration could be taken away at any point. Are there any plans to change the bonus system?
JS: We expect our associates to work harder than their peers at other firms, and we're committed to taking account of that. We paid a mid-year bonus in 2015 which I don't think other firms did. We do review it annually, and I believe we will continue this practice whenever the circumstances merit it.
CA: Are you concerned about diversity at the firm?
JS: We have committed a lot of focus to diversity in the past couple of years. We think we have a very welcoming and open environment that is friendly to everybody, and we're still striving to improve and increase diversity at the firm. I've seen more initiatives recently than in the past. A number of these initiatives have had a positive impact on diversity at Cahill and we are working to continue to build upon that success. It's a challenge but it's one that's a high priority at the firm.
CA: Have you been promoting more laterally than internally in litigation? Are you worried that associates in that department might think they don't have a good chance of going all the way with the firm?
JS: We are a firm with a strong emphasis on promotion from within and that philosophy hasn't changed. We've had some great development opportunities in the regulatory area that have required bringing in the necessary expertise with a few lateral hires. But overall we've done very little, and we promote litigation associates to partner on a basis commensurate with our corporate associates. Since we typically haven't done meaningful lateral hiring, the concern would be understandable,However, our philosophy has not changed and we see some terrific partner candidates in our associate ranks.
Landmark Cahill cases
During Cahill's 95 years of existence, the firm's partners have made frequent appearances before the United States Supreme Court. In 1943, John T. Cahill argued before the Court about issues concerning chain broadcasting regulations in National Broadcasting Co. v United States, one of the most significant cases ever decided concerning the influence of the Federal Communications Commission.
A year later, Cahill appeared before the Court again in United States v The South-Eastern Underwriter Association, an antitrust case which determined that insurance is an interstate commerce that falls under the US Commerce Clause and the Sherman Antitrust Act. In 1953, Cahill represented 98 newspapers, as amicus curiae (literally 'friend of the court') in Times-Picayune– one of the Supreme Court's most important antitrust rulings. It held that the publisher was not in violation of the Sherman Act for requiring its advertisers to purchase advertisements in both the morning and evening editions.
In the 1970s current partner Floyd Abrams came to prominence. In 1971 he successfully defended The New York Times in the landmark New York Times Co. v United States case, in which the Supreme Court refused to allow the Nixon Administration to stop the publication of thousands of pages of Vietnam War-related government documents.
Since then, Abrams and Cahill have been prominent defenders of the media and First Amendment rights, and he receives a top ranking from Chambers USA for his stellar work in this field. Most recently, he prevailed in his argument on behalf of Senator Mitch McConnell, defending the rights of corporations and unions to speak publicly about politics and elections in Citizens United v Federal Election Commission.
Cahill has also represented the Brooklyn Museum in its defense against Mayor Rudolph Giuliani concerning its right to determine what art to display, and represented many journalists in response to government efforts to get them to disclose the identities of their confidential sources (United States v Sterling, and Miller v United States).
Corporate law is where Cahill made its name and the firm has been involved in some massive transactions over the years. In 1988, for example, it represented Drexel Burnham Lambert as underwriter in Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts's $24.6 billion takeover of RJR Nabisco. For more than 17 years this was the largest LBO in history, and remains one of the ten biggest buyouts in US history.
During the 'LBO boom' of 2006 to 2007, Cahill advised the underwriters in eight of the ten largest such transactions to date. This included the buyout of TXU for $47 billion, Equity Office Properties for $23 billion (plus the assumption of $16 billion debt) and HCA for $31.6 billion.

On Sunday morning, I awoke to the sound of Clare Balding, she of horse-racing, memoir-writing, Olympics-presenting, Crufts-championing, quiz-show hosting, moorland-yomping and general switch-on-the-box-and-there-she-is-again fame. Actually, to be more accurate, I awoke to breakfast in bed, because nothing says "I love you" more than a six-year-old smearing jam across your bed sheets and hiding unwanted crusts under your pillow on Mother's Day.
But then came Balding, who recently started hosting Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday though, at this stage, if she started pulling pints in my local, or leaning out of taxis and saying "Where to, love?' my eyelids would remain steadfastly unbatted.
I love Balding. She is warm-hearted, no-nonsense and, to my mind, her refusal to break down weeping while clutching a microphone in a daffy hat at Ascot as tictack men appear to make lewd gestures over her shoulder puts her firmly in the premier league of TV presenters. She can do no wrong in my eyes, even when hosting a radio show that is so backwards in coming forwards with its religious intentions that God is mentioned roughly every half an hour, and only then in an apologetic whisper.
Granted, after my convent education, which involved mass every morning and five Hail Marys for every knee sock spotted around the ankle, such spiritual subtlety is lost on me.
Anyway, Balding's theme was, of course, mothers. There were lullabies from folk singer Jackie Oates, through which we were urged to recall childhood memories of bedtime. There were soppy messages from husbands to wives and children to mothers, all doubtless hoping that a mention on a national radio station would make up for the petrol station flowers and Beefeater roast earmarked for later.
There was a brief chat with Canon Ann Easter, chaplain to the Queen, who was hilarious, harrumphing, "There's no way I'm going to be a bishop no matter how much purple suits me." And, finally, Balding interviewed Doreen Lawrence, who, as the country's most famous mother, was called upon to yet again to reflect on the murder of her son Stephen. She was thoughtful, stoical and – this was lovely to hear – a grandmother. Talking of her own mother, who left her infant children behind in the Caribbean so she could work in the UK, she remarked: "I wouldn't say I disliked her but she wasn't there when I was growing up... The closeness I had with my own children, I never had that with my mother." Balding had an easy ride here – Lawrence is a well-practised interviewee – but, even so, she was strong and sympathetic she didn't shrink from the grim questions about what Stephen might be doing now had he lived.
The maternal theme continued later in a new wheeze from the Real Radio and Smooth Radio networks in the first of eight shows directed exclusively at women and – hark! Are those alarm bells I can hear? –sponsored by the high-street chemist Boots. Hosted by ex-Loose Woman Kate Thornton, the series was called the Boots Feel Good Forum and this week featured guests Jo "Supernanny" Frost and the TV GP Ellie Cannon, both dispensing cloying advice to mothers threatening to commit hari-kari at their offspring's resistance to fruit.
I'm guessing that this was the product of an hour-long pow-wow at Boots head office and some copiously pierced chumps from a Soho production agency all asking "What do women want?" before unveiling a mood board showing a picture of an overweight mother of four with a stress-related skin condition threatening her kids with a kitchen knife. I'm a woman, I'm a mother and my skin's seen better days but I know what I want and it sure as hell isn't this.

Yokohama International Women's Marathon to be Discontinued After November's Sixth Running
translated and edited by Brett Larner
On Oct. 22 the organizers of the Nov. 16 Yokohama International Women's Marathon revealed that the event, jointly operated by the JAAF and the Asahi Newspaper group, will be discontinued after this year's sixth running due to ongoing financial difficulties with the race. As a continuation of the former Tokyo International Women's Marathon it played an important role in establishing the prosperity of Japanese women's distance running over its 36-year history, a history on which the curtain is now set to fall after this year's race.
Established in 1979 to encourage the participation and development of female athletes, the Tokyo International Women's Marathon was the first women-only marathon in the world to be officially certified by the IAAF and led directly to the introduction of a women's marathon to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. It laid the foundations for Japanese women to win marathon medals at four straight Olympics from Barcelona in 1992 through Athens in 2004. In 2009 the event was relocated from Tokyo to Yokohama.
In recent years the JAAF has changed its direction, focusing on supporting the launch of new marathons in cities across the country. As mass-participation marathons like the Tokyo Marathon continue to gain popularity they have sought to continue to support elite women-only races, but the weakening performances of Japanese women in recent years has led to declining interest from sponsors.
Translator's note: Sad but unsurprising news. The Yokohama International Women's Marathon's move from Tokyo to Yokohama was a direct result of the expansion of the Tokyo Marathon from an elite men's race to a mass-participation format and was due in large part to issues with obtaining road closure permits from the Tokyo police. The move to Yokohama itself killed off the Yokohama International Women's Ekiden, another long-standing event, in favor of the marathon.
This article does not mention that Yokohama will also begin to host a mass-participation marathon, the Yokohama Marathon, in March 2015, but that is surely also related to the discontinuation of Yokohama International. With Fukuoka launching a mass-participation marathon next month there have to be concerns about the future of the Asahi Newspaper-organized Fukuoka International Marathon, an historic elite men's race just four weeks later which has struggled in recent years to attract top Japanese men due to the increasing importance of the New Year Ekiden corporate men's national championships and has already examined moving from its traditional date at the beginning of December to February.

Sad but as you said in the translator's note, not surprising.
One hopes that as mass participant races grow, they will make room for "sub-elite" runners to have preferential entry. For women, I'd say sub-3:15 or if they want to be really strict, sub 3:00 or even 2:55. I acknowledge that I'm conflating my personal interest of entering races with my interest of seeing a stronger arsenal of Japanese elite runners. But it's a shame that there are fewer "cut throat" races with QT and more "mass participation" races popping up that are more about the "experience of running a marathon" than "racing a marathon." There seem to be a lot of Japanese women runners who are already doing well and could improve a lot if they get the experience and motivation of racing each other and the "big gals" (elites). In any event, I guess I'll be looking for a fall marathon for 2015.

About 25 years ago I used to know a school teacher (shimin runner, mid 30s with marathon pb about 2:22) whose primary athletic focus was to maintain his annual acceptance into Fukuoka (entry limit about 2:26 or so plus a few "recommended" entries ?) for another year, and peak for Fukuoka too. Did he have about 10 years consecutive ? His whole year appeared to be geared towards being able to compete amongst the elite for one more year. Full time job in school of course and he had to travel across from Chiba each time.
Then about 15 years ago I met a woman from Hokkaido, pb about 2:53 with a similar story - had to do/maintain qualification for at least one of Tokyo or Osaka (maybe qualification level was about 3:10 at the time) to feel she was still a runner. Pregnant at the time that I met her, but wasn't going to let that stop her (18 month qualification period ? - her series continued for another 2 or 3 years).
I doubt that any other country has maintained an elite marathon comparable to the big Japanese ones. And pretty certain that no other country has so many runners with the mindset of those and similar athletes. It would be a travesty if Fukuoka as it exists and the other elite races became lost forever. Yes, the sport needs the mass participation marathons too. But there's always something special about unique established tradition.

I agree comnpletely. What makes Japan running interesting/unique,has been it focus on elite even sub-elite races. The environment seems suited for an elite/subelite mindset. Was in Yokohama from 22 to 25 and saw it every morning as I did my morning run.

The 10 Best Sunscreens That Will Protect Against The Blistering Sun All Summer Long
It's time for us to get real with you.
Yes, we know you're excited to hit the beach, throw down the towel and bake in the sun this summer. We are too. Having a tan is awesome, we know that! But tanning is only awesome when it's done with protection. Yes, we're talking sunscreen.
Sunscreen is important. We repeat, sunscreen is important.
There are probably days when you skip lathering yourself up, leaving yourself helpless against UV rays because you don't like the oily feeling of sunblock on your skin. But guys, don't make it a habit. Skin cancer rates are on the rise and according to HuffPost Style, sunscreen has been proven to decrease the development of the disease.
SPF also prevents facial brown spots and slows down the development of wrinkles. Which is great.
When looking for a sunscreen, make sure you're looking for active ingredients like zinc oxide, which, according to Real Simple, reflects compounds away from the skin. You'll also want to find a block that has water resistance, broad-spectrum coverage and of course, a high SPF.
And while some sunblocks can be greasy, sticky oily and downright expensive, trust us, once you find the right, moisturizing formula, you'll be rubbing on the good stuff all summer long. And your skin will thank you for it.
Check out 10 of our fave sunscreens below!
A matte sunscreen? Bring on the heat! This innovative formula includes both itanium dioxide and zinc oxide which are both crucial in sun protection. The mousse-like formula is weightless and minimizes pour appearance, which your skin will thank you for. $34, available at skinceuticals.com.
Feeling like you have nothing on, this sunscreen absorbs beautifully into the skin and offers moisture that other suncare products can't. The best part? The formula doesn't leave your skin shiny or oily. Win, win. $14, available at well.ca.
Not sticky or greasy, Garnier's ultra-light, water-resistant lotion offers protection that is fragrant and colourant-free. $12, available at mass-market retailers.
Dermatologically-test, La Roche-Posay's formula dries quickly and contains a patented Mexoryl sunscreen technology that offers broad-spectrum UVA-UVB protection. $29, available at mass-market retailers.
If you're planning on running a marathon this summer (or you know, any form of physical activity), then this is the sunscreen for you. With its durable and light formula, Coopertone Sport stays on as you sweat in thanks to antioxidants that refuel the skin. And if you're someone who is afraid of getting sunscreen clogged in your pores and breaking out, don't be. This formula won't allow that to happen. $9.99, available at mass-market retailers.
The worst part about applying sunscreen is the white residue left behind. Consonant Skincare knows this, which is why they created The Perfect Sunscreen (yes, that's the name). Being 100 per cent natural and non-greasy, you might have just hit the sunscreen holy grail with this one. $45, available at consonantskincare.com.
Using everything from lavender to calendula flower, Alba Botanica's faster-absorbing sunscreen is 100 per cent vegetarian and incredibly moisturizing. Sold. $9.99, available at mass-market retailers.
No summer is complete without Banana Boat. The legendary sunscreen is said to test their products during, in and on seven real life conditions – sun, pool water, ocean water, wind, sweat, sand and extreme heat – so you know the stuff is good. And for all you heading to the sandy beach this summer, we know sand and lotion don't mix well, so this spray will work wonders with its "brush off" factor. $10, available at mass-market retailers.
Perfect for the whole family, Neutrogena's sunblock features a fast-absorbing mist that protects the skin even in the harshest summer climates. $10, available at mass-market retailers.
A plant-based complex that helps with premature skin-aging all while protecting your body in the sun? Yes please. $50, available at Sephora.
Planning on diving in the pool this summer? Then this may be the sunscreen for you. The block, perfect for the body and face, is an innovative product that works more effectively once activated in the water (cool, much?). Good for sensitive skin, Shiseido's product even helps reduce the appearance of photo-aging. $49, available at Sephora.
Biotherm Body Spray is for the sun lover who doesn't stop. The ultra-fine and ultra-sheer mist absorbs quickly into the skin giving you automatic protection. Perfect for physical activities, the block is water-resistant and non-sticky. $33, available at Hudson's Bay.
Organic beauty brand Juice Beauty have created a sunscreen that is chemical-free, making for the perfect broad spectrum sun protector. Mixing blends of organic jojoba and soothing aloe, this sunblock will give your skin the vitamins and antioxidants it craves. $16, available at juicebeauty.com.
Loaded with sunflower oil, beeswax, and vitamin E, this all-natural sunscreen is loaded with safe minerals for the skin. $`15.99, available at badgerbalm.com.
Expensive, yes. But is it jam-packed with innovative anti-aging treatments and primers? Yes. This high-functioning, multipurpose sunscreen will find your skin's dullness as it dries to a matte finish. $78, available at Sephora.

Coffee | Ultimate Guide
A Brief History
Types Of Coffee
Demystifying Espresso
Water Quality
How To Brew
Iced Coffee
French Press Brewing
Diagnosing Brew Quality
A Brief History
In many parts of the world, coffee has been around longer than the written word. You may have heard the story of the 9th-century goatherder discovering the coffee plant after remarking that his goats were pretty jumpy post-consumption, but there is no actual evidence proving this anecdote. The true origins of coffee are unknown, but reliable documentation dates back as far as the 1400s in Yemen. It was here, on the Arabian peninsula, that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed. By the following century, the rest of the Middle East was drinking coffee and the coffee trade between Ethiopia and Yemen was in full-swing.
Nearly two centuries later, in the mid-1600s, coffee was introduced to Europe and immediately touted for its energizing effect as well as its utility against stomach ailments. Though considered a "muslim drink" at first, Pope Clement VIII eventually declared it Christian, probably at the urging of the Dutch East India Company (no evidence to suggest this, but we're just sayin'... they had a lot of money to make). Coffee had also been banned in Ethiopia for the same religious reasons, and, in the 17th century, was also banned for political reasons in Turkey.
North American coffee demand increased significantly during the Revolutionary War, presumably because the British had cut off the tea supply to the colonies. As the United States formed and developed, coffee became the preferred morning drink. So if you love coffee, you can thank our forefathers who fought for this great country and for the freedom to have a coffee shop on every corner.
Where Does It Come From?
We're glad you asked.
Today the top five exporters of coffee are (in order): Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia, and Ethiopia. In Brazil alone, the coffee trade employs more than 5 million people.
Fair trade certification was created in 1988, after coffee supply drastically exceeded demand, causing the price of coffee to tank. The certification artificially raised coffee prices to ensure that growers could continue to earn a modest living.
Coffee beans as we know them come from several species of shrub. These shrubs produce berries, which are picked and sorted by ripeness and color. From the berries, the seeds are then removed, fermented, and dried. At this point, the seeds are what is known as "green coffee." Green coffee can be decaffeinated via a solvent that kills caffeine-containing oils. Or, it can undergo a process known as the Swiss Water Process. In this procress, green coffee is partially extracted to remove the caffeine before being added back into the caffeine free "flavored water" to regain its delicious coffee taste. Whether caffeinated or not, the green coffee is then roasted. This produces the whole coffee beans we are familiar with. The beans can be sold as is, sold ground-up and ready-to-brew, or sold freeze-dried (for instant coffee).
Roasting is rated from light to dark. The darker the roast, the more time the beans have spent roasting, and the less acidic taste they have.
Good For You, Too
Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, coffee has numerous health benefits. It's full of antioxidants, for one. According to this Huffington Post article, coffee can relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, reduce stress, and can combat cirrhosis of the liver (so take special note of that, you lushes out there).
Coffee is also believed to keep your brain sharper, longer. And we all know it gets us through the daily grind (get it?). Without coffee, we wouldn't have had the brainpower to write this sentence.
What's the Difference?
Types of Coffee Drinks
Drip Coffee
The most prevalent coffee in the US is drip coffee. From your parents' old Mr. Coffee machine to the fancy pour-over device your sister's hipster boyfriend likes to bust out to much fanfare, drip coffee is simply the product of pouring hot water through a filter full of coffee grounds.
Turkish Coffee
This is the term used to describe coffee that is unfiltered. Water and grounds are boiled, often together, and then transferred to a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle at the bottom before drinking. Because Turkish coffee is simply a method of preparation, there is no special bean required. Out of filters? Impress your girlfriend's parents with your ~fancy~ new drink, Turkish coffee.
A drink made by pushing hot water through very finely ground coffee. More on this below (see Demystifying Espresso).
Espresso + hot milk + steamed milk foam. A classic Italian concoction, cappuccino is perfectly complemented by a vintage Vespa.
A cappuccino with additional hot milk in it. Sometimes a latte doesn't have milk foam on top. Otherwise, a latte and a cappuccino are pretty close to the same drink.
A cappuccino with chocolate syrup in it, often served with whipped cream on top. True story: Mocha is a port city in Yemen central to the historical coffee trade. Coincidence? We think not.
Mocha can also refer to a type of flavorful coffee bean grown exclusively on the Arabian peninsula.
A scoop of ice cream with a shot of espresso poured over it. Yes gawd.
Instant Coffee
Folgers in your cup, if you like that sort of thing… actually, if that's your thing you probably wouldn't be taking the time to read this webpage. Nice knowing you.
Flat White
Again, just get outta here.
Demystifying Espresso
Espresso is both a beverage and a brewing method. With the help of water pressure, the normal water-to-coffee ratio (see "Brewing" for more on this) is dramatically reduced, as is the time commitment. Where brewed coffee uses a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water, espresso's ratio is between 1:1.5 to 1:2; the brew time is almost instantaneous once you've heated up the water.
The espresso process starts with very finely ground coffee, finer than most home grinders and many professional grinders can offer. The grounds are then compacted into a small, precisely constructed basket with extremely fine holes no larger than the thickness of a strand of hair. Water is then forced through the finely ground coffee, producing about 2 ounces (for a standard double shot) of thick, creamy, and intensely flavorful coffee that contains roughly the same amount of caffeine as an 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee.
If a coffee bag is labeled "espresso," that typically means the beans have been pretty darkly roasted. This is because the darker roast, and stronger
How to Make It
Tips For A Little Bump n' Grind
- If you want to buy a home grinder, avoid single-blade devices at all costs. They work fine for grinding spices and seasonings, but cannot produce a consistent grind for coffee. They also can spin so fast that the beans heat up and oil leaches out, compromising taste. Burr grinders come in a variety of price points, but even the cheapest burr grinder will outperform a single-blade grinder every time.
- Before diving in, ask your friendly Heritage barista to grind you a coffee sample for your brewing device. Take the grounds home and try to replicate.
- Grind your coffee immediately before brewing it. As soon as you grind coffee, aromatics start to dissipate, which means you are losing the more compelling flavors.
- If you don't have a scale, use your hand. Start with a handful of whole beans, grind them, brew them, and taste the coffee. If it's too weak, then you know you need more than a handful of beans; too strong and you need less than a handful.
Let's Spend a Minute On Water!
One of the biggest differences between a coffee shop and a home brew is water quality. There is a marked difference between filtered water and water straight from the tap. Consider investing in a water filter before throwing down your money on that fancy grinder or kettle.
Chicago boasts some of the best tap water in the country, but unfortunately it is also some of the hardest, which impacts the taste of your final brew. If you are truly serious about the best homemade coffee you can possibly make, invest in water softeners or a reverse-osmosis unit to purify your water.
When making coffee, you want to get your water as hot as possible. While the coffee "steeps," it of course loses heat. Also, always preheat your kettle and brew equipment, because once the boiling water hits the coffee grounds, the water cools nearly 10 to 15 degrees. In order for coffee to really open up and give its full flavor, you need as much heat as possible.
A good ratio brewed coffee (that is not espresso):
- 1:16 , or 1 gram of ground coffee to 16 grams of water
- This means if you want to brew an 8-ounce cup of coffee, you should use 15 grams of coffee grounds coffee to 240 grams of water. For 12 ounces of coffee, you want 26 grams of grounds and 416 grams of water, etc.
- However, if you make your coffee with the 1:16 ratio and something is off, adjust accordingly:
- Does the coffee taste watery and weak? Add more coffee.
- Does the coffee taste thick, tacky, or like soot? Subtract some coffee.
- 1:16 is just a good starting point, use it as a baseline.
Pour-Over Coffee
Most Popular Pour-Over Coffee Systems
Brewing Pour-Over Coffee
These steps work for all pour-over coffee systems.
- Set up your system and place your empty filter into the dripper.
- Pour a small amount of hot water into the empty filter, to pre-wet it. This will also pre-wet and preheat the vessel under the dripper. Discard the water.
- Using your scale, your hand, or another method of your choosing, select the appropriate amount of beans for your cup.
- Grind your coffee. (Do not do this until you are ready to brew!)
- Add your ground coffee to your brewer; check the weight of the coffee.
- Bloom the coffee: gently pour just enough hot water to wet the grounds. The grounds will expand and bubble up, which is a process called "degassing." Elements like CO2 escape from the coffee, improving flavor and avoiding a dull-tasting cup of coffee. Wait 1 minute.
- Slowly add the rest of the water, to completely submerge all of the coffee grounds and so that the water is always in contact with coffee. Maintain the water level by adding hot water slowly, until all the water is gone.
- Finish your pour with a pulse brew (your pulses are are the same as your bloom, so if your amount of coffee is 33 grams, your bloom is 66 grams, then your pulses should also be 66 to 70 grams). The standard interval is: pour for 10 seconds in a slow circle, stop pouring for 10 second, and repeat. But, as stated above, keep the water level with the coffee grounds.
- Once the water streaming out of the bottom of the filter turns to a drip, the brew is done.
- Remove and discard the filter, stir the coffee pot in a back-and-forth motion, and serve!
Brewing a 12-ounce Coffee with the V60:
A V60 also makes great 8-, 16-, and 24-ounce cups, but 12 ounces is the recommended amount
- Weigh 26 grams of coffee beans and set aside.
- Set the V60 atop your carafe/pot. Add a filter.
- Boil a kettle of water.
- With the hot water, moisten your filter. Swirl the water through the carafe, then discard.
- Medium-grind your coffee. It should be about the coarseness of table salt.
- Add the grounds to the V60. Shake it a bit to level the grounds out.
- Gently pour 52 grams of water in a clockwise fashion, starting your bloom (see the section Brewing Pour-Over Coffee for more info on blooms).
- Gently start your pour, focusing on the center of the V60, in an area about the size of a quarter. Pour in a clockwise motion, in 70- to 100-gram pulses (i.e., fill it up, wait for it to drain a bit, repeat). Your stream can hit the edge of grounds as necessary, just keep all the grounds wet until you hit your target water amount of 415 grams.
- Let it drain.
- As the stream of coffee becomes a series of drips, your brew is done. Remove the filter if coffee grounds and discard.
- Serve in a preheated mug. Enjoy!
Brewing a 16-Ounce Coffee with the Chemex:
A Chemex also makes great 8-, 12-, and 24-ounce cups, but 16 ounces is the recommended amount
- Weigh out 33 grams of coffee beans and set aside.
- Boil a kettle of water.
- While the water is heating up, insert the filter into the Chemex so that three sheets of the filter are bracing the spout. Pour a small amount of the boiling water into the filter, making sure it gets completely moist.
- Swirl the water about in your Chemex, to warm the bottom, and then discard.
- Grind your coffee beans a few notches coarser than medium. You want a consistency slightly coarser than table salt.
- Add the grounds to the Chemex. Shake it a bit to level the grounds out.
- Gently pour in 66 grams of boiling water, in a clockwise fashion, starting your bloom (see the section Brewing Pour-Over Coffee for more info on blooms).
- When the bloom is complete, start your pour, focusing on the center of the Chemex. Pour in a clockwise motion in 70- to 100-gram pulses (fill for 10 seconds, stop for 10 seconds, repeat). Your stream can hit the edges of grounds, just keep all the grounds wet until you hit your target water amoung of 525 grams.
- Let it drain.
- As the stream of coffee becomes a series of drips pull your filter, your brew is done.
- Serve in a preheated mug. Enjoy!
Cold-Brew Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is both delicious and remarkably simple, and the cold-brewing method is absolutely the best way to achieve a low acid, high flavor beverage.
Toddy and Filtron are both great brands for cold brewing. Both feature a vessel for brewing and a basin to filter the coffee into. OXO has a slightly more stylish and clean cold-brewing system.
The cold-brew process uses a different ratio from other brewing processes. At Heritage, we brew a ready-to-consume iced coffee, using a 1:8 water-to coffee ratio, but most shops do a cold brew concentrate, with a 1:4 ratio. This guide will be with the ready-to-drink brew in mind, but if you add lots of milk to your coffee, it might be worth your while to double your dose.
The concentrate picks up a bit more acidity than the ready-to-brew method, but it stays fresh longer, and you get more servings out of your final brew. Experiment and pick the brew that works for you.
Brewing a 32-Ounce Cold Brew
This takes 12 hours, so plan ahead.
- Start with coarsely grinding 105 grams (3.75 ounces) of coffee. You can use the same grind setting you would use for a French press—essentially, you want to go as coarse as your grinder allows.
- Measure out 30 ounces of chilled water and set nearby.
- Into a 32-ounce container, like a mason jar, pour the coffee grounds.
- Add about a quarter of your water to the mason jar without agitating (stirring/swirling) the coffee. Let it sit for about a minute.
- Add the rest of the water. Do not agitate, let the coffee grounds settle.
- After the coffee has settled, take a spoon or other blunt instrument and gently massage the grounds until they're completely submerged.
- Seal your mason jar and leave it on the counter for 12 hours. Do not refrigerate!
- Pat yourself on the back for your incredible patience! Take your brew and pour it through a strainer into another vessel. At this point, you might want to filter it again through cheesecloth to catch any additional particles that made it through the strainer.
- Add ice, and enjoy!
French Press Coffee
The French press is probably the most common manual coffee maker in the world. It's charming in its simplicity: throw in coffee, add water, and voilà, you have a cup of coffee.
Brewing with an 8-cup French Press
- Preheat your French press by adding a little hot water and giving it a swirl. Discard the water.
- Coarsely grind 56 grams of coffee beans. As always, grind immediately before brewing.
- Boil a kettle full of water. Let the water sit for 30 seconds.
- Fill the French press halfway (450 grams) with the hot water. Let the coffee bloom for 1 minute (see the section Brewing Pour-Over Coffee for more info on blooms).
- With a wooden or plastic spoon, give the coffee 3 quick stirs.
- Add the rest of your water, another 450 grams.
- Let sit for 4 minutes.
- Push the press down, smoothly and swiftly.
- Pour out the entire pot into a new vessel, so the coffee doesn't continue brewing.
- Enjoy your freshly made, correctly brewed coffee!
When making coffee, try to keep everything as consistent as possible so that you don't have too many variables to consider when your coffee tastes bad. Heritage uses a standard water weight and water temperature on every pour, so the only variables are bloom, grind, and dose (amount of grounds). Bloom time is determined predominantly by visual cues. If your coffee looks dry after your bloom, for example, it bloomed too long.
For grind and dose, consider the below chart:

Lalou Roucayrol and Mayeul Riffel were sheltering in their survival suits under their upturned 50-foot catamaran Arkema waiting for a rescue boat to tow them the 22 miles to Lisbon in the doublehanded Transat Jacques Vabre.
The French pair had capsized and then had to dive underneath the yacht to cut away the badly damaged mast. They were hoping to for a rendezvous overnight Tuesday.
Another 50-footer, Actual, the leading Open 60, Macif, and three Class 40s are also taking cover to try and effect repairs, leaving the British duo of Caterham F1 boss Mike Gascoyne and co-skipper Brian Thompson chasing a top six place in the 40-foot fleet.
The two MOD 70 trimarans, Gitana and Oman Sail-Musandam, continue to make fast progress with Sébastien Josse and Charles Caudrelier holding a near 90-mile lead over Sidney Gavignet and Damian Foxall. They expect to finish in about another week.
The 70-plus remaining entries in the Mini-Transat have been delayed yet one more day for their rescheduled start from Sada, their shelter in north-west Spain, for Pointe-â-Pitre, Guadeloupe. They now start at 08.00 GMT on Wednesday and will race direct, cutting out a planned stopover in Lanzarote, but going past a turning mark off the Canary island.
Organisers are still worried about both high winds and poor visibility but need to start a race which has been held up for nearly a month since its original start date in Douarnenez.

1. It's all about the People
Like everything else in life, business is all about people. Find the best people to work on your team and you're halfway there.
2. Set Expectations
Once the right people are in place, it's your job to manage them effectively. Letting everyone know exactly what is expected of them and the deadlines they need to adhere to is essential so that they can stay motivated and on track. Set expectations early. Be clear on each team member's responsibilities and the deadlines involved.
3. Keep an Eye on the Project Goal
Communicating the end goal very clearly with all your team is essential from the outset. Reiterating this throughout the project also helps to keep their eye on the prize.
4. Effective Communication
Keeping the communication channels open throughout the the project is essential. If people feel that they can express any issues, concerns or observations they have throughout the process, it means that you'll be much better equipped to deal with issues as they arise. This also involves a lot of listening on your part.
5. Give your Team the Freedom to Create
Don't micromanage – you want people to have the freedom to think creatively, to feel comfortable and be encouraged to contribute. People who are micromanaged become very quickly demotivated and stripped of creativity. Once you have the right people, and have instructed them appropriately, you should be able to stand back and let them do their jobs.
6. Be a tuned-in Project Manager
Keep a constant eye on timelines and have frequent progress updates. Ensuring that you're on time and on budget and that the quality is of certain level will ensure that nothing is left to chance.
7. Let Technology Help
Use a good project management system that paves the way for seamless and efficient project management.
8. Up-skill to Be a Great Project Manager
Having a good knowledge of all the processes and skills involved in good project management will put you ahead of the game in an instant.
9. Have a can-do attitude
Approach every problem as a challenge that's there to be solved. The instant an issue arises, ask yourself and your team the question, 'What can we do to solve this?'
10. Be a people person
Ensuring that the team is on your side is crucial. Know your team, listen to them and be supportive.
11. Believe in your Ability to be Great
Visualizing the end result helps enormously in achieving the goal. Remind yourself and your team regularly that you can do it. Then do it to the best of your ability.

In 19th-century literature, the character of the anatomist, a new avatar of the demonic hero, embodies a negative conception of science: a figure of limitation rather than of triumph. Though this morbid scientist first appears in gothic and romantic works, his appearance in critical texts confirms what the former suggests: the anatomist carries out a meta-textual function as a metaphor for the author. Thus the question arises: which science does the anatomist's scalpel serve and, consequently, which writing is served by the writer's pen?

Week 1, Lesson 1
Chapter 11 – Measuring Solubility
Use the data in Table 11.2 to calculate the percentage of oxygen that would be lost from a pond, saturated with oxygen, if the temperature of water in the pond rose from 0°C to 20°C
Mass of oxygen, in 1kg saturated solution of oxygen;
= 0.069g at 0°C
= 0.043g at 20°C
So, mass of oxygen lost:
0.069 – 0.043 = 0.026g
% of oxygen lost =
= 38%
Week 1, Lesson 2
Concentration = mass of sulfate ions(mg)
volume of mineral water (L)
= 4.0
= 16mg/L or 16mg L-1
n = c x V
Where n = amount, mol
c = concentration, mol L-1
v = volume, L
STEP 1: Convert volume into L
200mL = 200 x 10-3L
STEP 2: Calculate the molar concentration
c = n / v
c = 0.105 / 200 x 10-3
c = 0.525M
grams M moles
litre x M litre
Molar Concentration and Solubility
C1 = Initial concentration
V1 = Initial volume
C2 = Final concentration
V2 = Final volume
In this equation, the concentration unit is g L-1
C1 = 9.09.0 x 0.010 = C2 x 2.0
V1 = 0.010L0.09 = C2 x 2.0
V2 = 2.0C2 = 0.045g L-1


text: Hi, my name is Paul and I live in the foothills of Norfolk. I have a problem. I think I'm addicted to cameras, film, and chemicals. When I go in to town, I often visit a local s/h camera shop. Like any drug dealer, he keeps trying to tempt me with lenses, cameras, and other gadgets. The latest is a Wista technical camera. Heavy, but really pretty.. I already have a tatty old MPP that I'm struggling to get to grips with, but the Wista is soooo pretty... The freezer is already full of 120 film and I've just had another fix of FP4+ (5x4 sheet), but the Wista is so pretty to look at... Please, I need help.

Course Reserves
Reserves Links
Students: Locate Your Course Reserve Materials
Faculty: Submit Material for Course Reserves
Contact Course Reserves
Course Reserves
The University System of Georgia supports instruction with electronic course reserves and similar analog and digital services. The primary function of these services is to ensure that students and teachers will have timely access to course-related library resources.
Course Reserves are short-term loan items which may include books, articles, videos, and other materials that are required for a course by the instructor.
Only currently enrolled Georgia State University students, staff, and faculty are allowed to borrow course reserves. A current GSU ID (Panthercard, J-card) or valid photo ID is required.
Physical reserve items for each branch location are housed at the corresponding GSU Libraries service desk and are available during library hours. Circulation periods for print reserves are 2-hour, 3-day, or 1-week loan, as determined by the course instructor. Media reserves are circulated for in-house use only. To retrieve a physical item students must have the call number for the item, available in the library's online catalog, or via the reserves system course page.
Electronic reserve materials can be accessed only by students enrolled in the course for which those materials are placed. All course pages containing copyrighted material are password protected. Instructors will distribute password information to students enrolled in their courses – the University Library will not give out passwords for protected course pages.
Guidelines for Putting Material on Course Reserves
Georgia State University Libraries are committed to complying with all applicable intellectual property laws, and expect faculty to respect copyright. It is the responsibility of the faculty member to determine if the material placed on reserve is in compliance with copyright law.
The Board of Regents Policy on the Use of Copyrighted Works in Education and Research explains in detail the rights of copyright holders, which are balanced by limitations on those rights under federal copyright law. The University System of Georgia also provides Additional Guidelines for Electronic Reserves. No one should submit digital course content consisting of copyrighted material without first either obtaining the permission of the copyright owner; or determining in good faith after reasonable inquiry, and with the benefit of resources made available by the University System of Georgia for these purposes, that the intended educational use of copyrighted material is covered by fair use tenets.
All Course Reserves materials must belong to either our library, the course instructor, or the corresponding University department. Materials from non-GSU Libraries – including GIL Express & Interlibrary Loan items -may not be placed on Reserve. Additionally, custom course packs are licensed only for individual student use and cannot be included in the Libraries' Course Reserves holdings.
Per University Library Collection Development policy, we do not purchase textbooks for the general collection or for Course Reserves. The library will rush-order items we do not own, but even with a rush-order the item may not arrive in time for your course needs. Please contact your subject liaison librarian if you would like an item ordered (PC instructors should contact their branch library's collection development coordinator).
Course reserves are to be used only as a supplement to assigned course texts and/or licensed course compilations. When readings are used as central course material in lieu of a textbook, licensed course compilations may be required.
A maximum of 40 physical items may be placed on print reserve per semester. At the end of the semester all items will be removed from reserve and re-shelved or returned to the instructor. Instructors are responsible for reviewing their materials and picking them up at the designated time. The library staff is not responsible for reserve items not picked up in a timely manner. Unless otherwise instructed, all material will be removed at the end of the semester and held for you in the circulation department. Materials not claimed for one semester following their removal date become the property of the library and may be discarded.
While we will make every effort to ensure the safety of materials placed on reserve, the University Library cannot assume responsibility for or replace lost, stolen, or damaged material.
How to Submit a Request
- Check to see if the library licenses a database that provides an electronic version. Use the Electronic Journal Locator or, for a book, check the online catalog.
- Determine if the item is in the public domain. Books published prior to 1923 and federal government documents fall into this category. Some items released under a Creative Commons license may permit course use – you must read the license to determine if electronic reserve is a permitted use.
- Use the Board of Regents Fair Use Checklist as a tool to help you determine if your use of the item for the course is considered fair use.
- Typically, your use should be limited to no more than 10% of a book without chapters (or with fewer than 10 chapters); for a book of 10 or more chapters, your use should be limited to no more than one chapter. If you are using pages from several different chapters, look at the average number of pages per chapter in the book and limit your excerpts to no more pages than that average.
- If you want to use more than 10% or one chapter, contact the Office of Legal Affairs (404-413-0500) to discuss your situation.
- You must print and save a copy of the completed checklist for your records.
- If none of the above options apply, you must obtain permission to use the item. Permissions can generally be obtained from the Copyright Clearance Center or from the copyright holder (generally the publisher). Evidence of permission must be submitted to the library with your reserve request.
Submit Material for Course Reserves
Please provide all information requested on the request form, including complete call numbers and complete bibliographic information. Please make sure that the way titles are noted on your syllabus is consistent with the way they are noted on your reserve request. Personal copies of books or other material will have in-house call numbers assigned when they are processed for reserves.
Post Submission & Contact Us
Reserve requests are processed as quickly as possible, and in the order in which they are received. Complete citations and early submission of requests help speed processing.
A course page is created for every course with reserve materials. Your course page will be created, and you will be contacted and asked to review the page.
Your course page will automatically be password protected if it contains digitized copyrighted material. The password will be included in a confirmation e-mail that will be sent to you once the course page is created. You may only distribute this password to students enrolled in the class.
Please contact a University Library Reserves representative if you have any questions.

Day three
Firstly, massive thanks to all those who sent me or any other MdSers messages. After a draining day it means more that you can imagine. You can find instructions on MdS website.
Life in camp developing routine. Wake up at 6am. Eat porridge bar. Prepare feet. Collect water ration. Lift up pack; be disappointed. Pep talk and start at 8.30am. Cover as much distance as possible before worst of heat. Walk/run after that attempting to keep body temp below danger level (heatstroke has been main cause of more than 50 withdrawals so far). Finish early afternoon and try to beat rush to medics to have blisters burst and back bandaged. Attempt the one-wet-wipe-full-body-wash. Binge on dwindling food and relax with wonderful tent mates. Repeat.
The reward for top 50 men and five women is to start stage four (81km) three hours later, at midday. No posts tomorrow as we'll be running through the night ...

You have saved Boston from being overrun by headcases but can you save yourself from becoming one?
INFECTED! puts players in a race against the clock to save themselves from the nanite-induced disease that has struck Boston following a failed experiment by two megacorporations that has cost the life of thousands of citizens and turned the city into a battle zone infested by crazed cyborgs trying to take over any metahuman they can find. Finding out that they got infected themselves during one of their fights against the headcases, they players struggle desperately to find a cure for the Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder they are suffering, while an AI inside them tries to assert control over their body and mind.
The add-on for Shadowrun Chronicles features all new enemies, missions as well as skills, weapons and cyberware for the player's Shadowrunner and various improvements to balancing and solo-gameplay. The players will have to face evolving headcases, a cult of fanatic technomancers and a competing team of runners (chosen from actual player avatars in a recent contest) crossing their path time and again.
Key Features:
New skills, weapons and gear for your characters
The new add-on campaign detailing the next chapter in the Boston:Lockdown story arc
Huge mission maps 3 times the size of the previous Chronicles maps require new tactics
New enemies: Technomamcer fanatics and a deadly enemy runner team
'Ware: New deltaware and bioware to make you even better!
Various UI and Balancing improvements
This add-on is also part of the Deluxe version of Shadowrun Chronicles.
Shadowrun Chronicles is required to play this DLC.
Shadowrun Chronicles: Infected DLC says that it includes additional campaign missions, new gear, cyberware, skills, and enemies. The add on doesn't actually include new skills, new equipment is mostly new tier gear with cosmetic changes, and I believe they mean Technomancers. The DLC includes only seven new maps but they are larger and will take longer to complete than the levels that you are used to playing. If you enjoyed the original game this is a good add on despite some misleading or incorrect statements in the description and the misspelling.

Jodies Shock.Mature
After the exam Blake left school with Ryan ,Claire and someone who he found out was Laura.
"So how'd you get one last night?"Ryan said laughing.
"Alright,"He laughed
"Just alright?"Ryan widened his eyes.
"Well more than alright,"A little smile went across Blakes face.
"Haha!"Ryan put up his hand and they Hi-5ed "Decent bro!"
Claire had linked arms with Blake.
"So what was so important that happened last night?"She put her arm on Blake chest and bit her lip.
"Oh nothing you need to worry about babe,"Blake said winking.
"Good, so are you busy tonight or are you doing what you done last night?"
"No i'm free i'm finished with what i done last night,"Blake laughed thinking what it would sound like if she knew what happened.
"Anyway,"Ryan said breaking Blake and Claire's eye contact. "Were we going to smoke this?"he said reveling a small bag with some green stuff in it.
"Down by the creek , best place to get stonned,"Blake said sliding his hand onto Claire's hip.
"Plan,"They all said in unison.
"Or we could go to mine, parents are on holiday, more comfortable,"Claire said running her hand on the inside of Blake's leg.
"Even better," Ryan laughed.
When they reached Claire house Jodie text blake;
Come round, so bored?xxxx
He ignored it.
"Ill roll it,"Ryan said sitting down on the kitchen table
"Cool, that will give me time to show you the bedroom Blake,"Claire said grabbing his hand and pulling him up the stairs.
A couple hours later they came down the stairs to be meet with a chours of laughter from Ryan.
"Sorry couldn't wait , you were like 3 hours,"Ryan burst of laughing right after he finished his sentence.
"2 Actually,"Laura snapped."2. Long. Loud. Hours."She said with a deadly glare toward Ryan who was still laughing.
"Any left,"Blake shrugged
