Subject: Teaching the Early Modern Period
Teaching the Early Modern Period
Edited by Derval Conroy and Danielle Clarke
"This book is an excellent addition to materials on pedagogy not simply for the early modern period but in general. The range of responses is fittingly diverse and much thought has been put into designing a well-crafted and innovative collection. The key importance of the volume is its geographical, disciplinary, and cultural range. One of the great virtues of this book is its diversity, and it will appeal to scholars, postgraduates, and teachers in the UK, USA, Europe, and Australia."—Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester, UK
Teaching the Early Modern Period is an innovative project that brings together leading early modernists drawn from a wide geographical and disciplinary background. Scholars from English, History, and French Studies unite in this unique volume to examine the challenges, and solutions to those challenges, which the early modern period provides in the third-level classroom. Nine essays are interspersed with fourteen shorter reflections by contributors from Ireland, the UK, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, Canada, and the USA; the volume hence provides a rare transcontinental insight into current pedagogical praxis in a number of Western national traditions, presenting a wide range of case-studies of how research can inform teaching from scholars who refuse to accept a divorce between the two.

My principle service within our department during the past 4 years has been to serve as the head of our Admissions and Awards Committee. This involves overseeing the processing of almost 100 graduate applications per year and extensive interaction with prospective students. I have served on our Promotion and Tenure Committee for the past 2 years, responsible for preparing at least one promotion case each year. I also served as the head of a 2002 search, that resulted in the hiring of Dave Schmidt, and have served minor roles in other committees, including Field Camp and Seminars. Within the broader University I serve on the GIS and related Information Technology Committee, the Library Committee, and Goldwater Undergraduate Scholarship Committee, as well.
Outside the University I currently serve as the only geologist on a 5 member executive committee (Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities) that will direct an 8 M$ effort to revise California's Earthquake Hazard Map (that will also provide the methodology and California cornerstone for the next iteration of the National Earthquake Hazard map). I served on the NSF's Continental Dynamics Peer Review Panel for 6 years (ending in 2002), and recently served on the USGS's formal review panel for the National Earthquake Hazards map. I review proposals and papers for a variety of groups and am otherwise active in many scientific earthquake communities (esp. the USGS ans SCEC). During the past 4 years I have also advised the Thai government on issues involving seismic hazard, including reviewing analyses of seismic safety associated with several large dams and related reservoirs, and work with the Kyrgyz Institute of Seismology on seismic and related environmental hazards in that country.
Perhaps most significantly, I interface with the public on geologic and in particular earthquake hazard issues. I spend hours to days each month answering questions on the phone or email, lecturing public and alumni groups (recent examples include a lecture for the University of Oregon Alumni Association at the Pendleton Round-up and a Tsunami Preparedness meeting next week in Seaside with Congressman David Wu ), and helping local groups (a recent example was to use my surveying class to provide control for a handicapped access nature trail). Finally, during the past 4 years I have served as a parent volunteer at South Eugene High and on the Parent Council for Roosevelt Middle School, and am active in atheletic activities for my sons' High School and YMCA Swim teams.

Golden Globes 2013: There Will Be 'Some Tears,' Says Bryan Cranston (VIDEO)
The 56-year-old actor told Celebuzz at the 2013 Golden Globes that he predicts there wil be "some tears" when the show comes to an end this spring — but it's all part of the life in Hollywood.
"In an odd way, we're used to that as actors," he said. "Starting and stopping projects, creating new bonds, breaking those apart."
"We're kind of like atoms."
Cranston was nominated for an award Sunday night for Best Performance in a Drama Series, but lost out to Homeland's Damian Lewis.

Question: Is it true that there were animals on board the Titanic?
Answer: Yes, there were in fact a number of different animals onboard the Titanic. There were at least nine dogs on board the Titanic. The dogs stayed in either kennels on board or some were lucky enough to stay in cabins with their owners.
Henry Harper and his wife Myra boarded the Titanic in Cherbourg, France, with their Pekinese, Sun Yat Sen. Henry was famous in the United States of America for his company, Harper Publishing. Henry, his wife Myra and their dog survived.
Colonel John Jacob Astor and his wife, Madeline travelled with their Airedale, Kitty. Colonel Astor and his wife also boarded in Cherbourg, and travelled as First Class Passengers on board the Titanic. Colonel Astor and Kitty did not survive, but his wife Madeline survived aboard Lifeboat 4. It has been rumoured that Colonel Astor freed all of the dogs from the kennels when all hope was lost.
Margaret Hayes travelled with her Pomeranian, also boarding in Cherbourg. She and her Pomeranian survived in Lifeboat 7. The Carter Family dogs were not so lucky. Ernest Carter and his wife and children took with them their two small dogs that perished at sea. A small dog named Frou Frou, whose owners were newlyweds Dickinson and Helen Bishop, also perished. It is believed that Frou Frou was locked in a cabin while Mr and Mrs Bishop boarded a lifeboat.
In all, there were nine dogs recorded as travelling on the Titanic, of which only four survived. A champion French Bulldog named Gamon de Pycombe perished, as did a St Bernard belonging to Ann Isham. A Pomeranian belonging to the Rothschild's survived, possibly because it was bundled into Mrs Rothschild's bag, although Mr Rothschild went down with the ship.
Along with the dogs on the ship, Marie Young, brought her two prize winning roosters and two hens. Miss Young was returning to America and each day was taken below deck to 'check' on her chickens. It is also rumoured that there was a cat named Jenny on board with her kittens. Apparently, Jenny and her kittens boarded in Belfast and disembarked in Southampton. And finally, the pig, although the only pig saved from the Titanic was Edith Russell's 'lucky' musical pig. The pig was in fact a toy, and not a real pig, and has become famous over the years with a number of children's books written about it.
There are at least twelve dogs that have been documented on the Titanic when it sank but the exact figure is unknown. Only three dogs are documented to have survived: a Pekinese named "Sun Yat-Sen" owned by Mr. Henry Sleeper Harper who made his escape in lifeboat 3 with his master; a Pomeranian called "Lady" belonging to Miss Margaret Hays who tucked the dog inside her coat and got into lifeboat 7 and another male Pomeranian name unknown owned by Miss Elizabeth Barrett Rothschild. Both escaped together in boat 6 because Elizabeth refused to go on the lifeboat unless the dog came with her. She was hoisted aboard clutching her pet, which a few weeks later after the disaster her dog was killed in a fight with a larger dog in New York.
Most stories during those first weeks after the disaster were unsubstantiated rumors usually made up by the press. Contrary to what has been reported or published in many books there was no canary onboard. No pig either, at least a live animal. Miss Edith Rosenbaum Russell was reported to have brought a pet pig on board Titanic, but her lucky mascot and prized possession, was a toy covered in white fur that played a popular dance tune known as "La Maxixe". She left on lifeboat 11 and kept the spirit of the children up by entertaining them throughout the night with her musical toy box. A couple of these stories also were to become the basis for two dog myths linked to the Titanic disaster. One is about a large dog, a Great Dane, presumably owned by Miss Ann Elizabeth Isham, a 50 year old spinster, one of the four first class female passengers who did not survive. While it is true that "a lady refused to get in the lifeboat without her large dog", there is nothing to connect that dog to Miss Isham, just like there is no truth to the report of a woman in a lifejacket with her frozen arms wrapped around a large dog floating together that presumably was sighted a couple of days after the disaster by passengers on the German liner Bremen. Neither Miss Isham nor the Great Dane dog were ever recovered. This story was adapted by novelist Ms. Marty Crisp, for her book White Star: A Dog on the Titanic and in fact it may be based on the real story of Miss Rothschild and her Pomeranian.
The other story, published by The New York Herald on April 21, 1912, is the one most often quoted, but sadly is nothing more than a fabricated myth, about a Newfoundland dog called Rigel – allegedly the pet of First Officer William Murdoch – that survived in the water and alerted the crew of rescue ship Carpathia to lifeboat 4 filled with exhausted survivors too weak to shout who were perilously close to being sunk by the Carpathia. The story claimed that the dog was pulled to safety too and was adopted by Jonas Briggs, a crewman on the Carpathia. Records show that Murdoch did not have any pet with him on the ship, no surviving passengers or crew members confirmed this story and finally no record exists of anyone with the name Briggs listed as a crew member on the Carpathia.
However, besides dogs, other animals have been documented. Mrs. John Stuart White, first class passenger sharing cabin C-32 with Miss Marie Grice Young, was shipping some expensive French poultry aboard Titanic, and duly made a claim against White Star Line and listed among her lost property items are "roosters and hens, from Chasse Ile rage Jardin d'Agriculture." This was confirmed by Miss Ellen "Nellie" Hocking and Miss Edwina C. Troutt, second class passenger survivors, who said that the previous night of the disaster, they had heard a cock crowing, a Cornish folklore sign of impending disaster and a harbinger of bad luck. Miss Ellen Mary Mockler, a third class passenger survivor, who later became a nun, particularly remembered that while she was heading up to the boat deck she "heard chickens and hens" that had escaped and began running around on deck but perhaps these may have been part of live stock kept for the kitchen.
This is the list of all identified dogs and their owners 1. "Sun Yat-Sen" – a Pekinese (survived) owned by Mr. Henry Sleeper Harper 2. "Lady" – a Pomeranian, (survived) owned by Miss Margaret B. Hays 3. A male Pomeranian, name unknown (survived) owned by Miss Elizabeth B. Rothschild 4. "Gamin de Pycombe" – a French bulldog owned by Mr. Robert William Daniel 5. "Frou Frou" –breed unknown, bought in Florence for Mrs. Helen Walton Bishop 6. "Kitty" – an Airedale owned by Mr. John Jacob Astor IV 7. Another Airedale, name unknown, also owned by Mr. John Jacob Astor IV 8. A Chow Chow, name unknown owned by Mr. Harry Anderson 9. A King Charles Cavalier, name unknown, owned by Mr. William Ernest Carter 10. An unknown breed (poss. an Airedale), name unknown owned by Mr. William Ernest Carter 11. A Great Dane, name unknown, owner not identified but maybe Mr William Crothers Dulles? 12. An unknown breed and named dog, owner not identified. One unverified story reported that a man with a Pomeranian, leaped overboard with it, struck a piece of wreckage and was badly stunned. He was pulled aboard a lifeboat but not the dog. Whether this may be the last unknown breed dog or not will never be known.

Our new Search API enables Gnip customers to build the product to meet these needs in a way that hasn't been feasible before.
Although we're announcing the public availability of this offering today, we've been working with a few close partners to integrate the Search API into their products and have seen the impact it has made for them. Realtime marketing leader Expion has used the Search API to build tools to help marketers instantly engage and react to marketing opportunities for their brands that are happening now. Simply Measured, provider of easy and powerful social media analytics, is using the Search API to enable their customers to quickly understand the broader context around conversations about their brands or products. In these early uses, we've heard from our customers about how important the "fast" and "instant" experience is for their needs.
Like all Gnip products, we've built our Search API to be enterprise-ready and capable of handling the most demanding and business critical use cases. When any Tweet can be the one that changes a decision, every Tweet matters. We've built the redundancy and robustness into the Search API to meet the needs of the the most sophisticated and advanced social data uses. At the same time, the Search API also provides an easy path to get started for those new to social data.
With the Search API, the foundational first step in social analytics — counting Tweets over a timeframe about a brand or product — is easier than ever, and is now possible without a having to tackle the traditional challenges with big data, streaming data, or even having to mess with storing data at all.
When reliable, sustainable, and complete social data is easier to get and use, we expect even more business decisions to be made using this incredible data. We can't wait to help accelerate this future and can't wait to see what our customers and partners build with this data.

PSAT Practice Books
Question Banks for PSAT Practice
Cracking PSAT can only be possible by rigorous practice. Although the syllabus is the same as your academics in junior grades of high school, you require extra practice to attempt the types of questions. This is because the questions will not be directly asked as in your academic exams. You require extra aptitude to solve those questions which might probably be asked with mixed concepts. For this reason, you must be thoroughly prepared in view of the test. You must improve your knowledge, competence, speed and consistency which are the most crucial aspects of test taking abilities. This can be achieved by effectively making use of good books.
About Question Banks
Usually, there are two types of books available currently. Some practice books provide you both theoretical explanations of the concepts and questions for your practice. The other types of books are those which provide you only test papers and questions for your practice. The first type of books is advised for you if you either prepare by self or online. If you have joined a coaching institute, it is better that you use the second type of books since you would already have comprehensive tutorial sessions at your institute. It would help if you focus more on practicing.
Let us now look into some good practice tests and know about what they have to offer to you.
Barron's PSAT/NMSQT Guide
Barron's need no introduction as it is one of the most famous book publishers currently. This book very firstly offers you a diagnostic test so that you can have an idea of your performance, strengths and weaknesses. It provides you with six full-length practice tests and many sample questions with explanations for you to grasp the concepts better. There will be no CD included in it for you. However, you get many study tips and strong vocabulary building plans. It is a good value for your money. Barron's has by far been the best publisher of books for this test that can help you score high especially in the Critical Reading and the Writing Skills sections.
Cracking the PSAT/NMSQT
Cracking the PSAT/NMSQT is an international best-selling book by the famous publishing house, "The Princeton Review". The cracking series of books for all the competitive examinations are regarded as the best fully comprehensive preparation books for any starter student. This book primarily focuses on providing you with test tacking tips and strategies that would help you improve your efficiency and save time. You will have two full-length practice tests will full explanations for your better understanding. Although this book doesn't come with a CD, you can receive study guidance on The Princeton Review's website.
Kaplan PSAT Study Guide
As you may know, Kaplan's books are among the efficient books from the elite publishing companies. Furthermore from the top books, Kaplan's practice books are in fact cheaper in price compared to other best-selling books. This book offers you good strategies for improving your overall test taking abilities. It provides you with three full-length practice tests. Moreover, on purchasing this book, you will be qualified for the Kaplan's extra online guidance provided on their website.
11 Practice Tests for SAT & PSAT
This book is published by "The Princeton Review" and is considered one of the best books that come with full-length test papers exclusively for practicing. In fact, out of the 11 practice papers that this book promises, 10 are for SAT and one is for PSAT. However, since both cover same syllabi with very slight differences, you can count on this book for preparing for the PSAT.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'll be happy to help you with your question. Has your vision been affe
DOes not seem to have been affecdted. WHen I wake up perhaps slightly blurry
has your vision been affected? Do you have any other medical problems, or issues with your teeth?
I don't think so, but funny you mention it because it feels like the pain is localized around where my jaw meets near my eye. If that makes sense?
tell me a little bit more about where the swelling is in relation to your eye/orbit and where the pain is......
Swelling is just under left eye and towards the left side of the cheek bone (just under the eye). The pain is really not bad, it is an irritation, but obviously scaring me. It also feels like I have tension in my lower neck, so I am wondering if I slept worng?
Sleeping wrong can cause neck discomfort which could spread to the jaw area. It is also possible that you have an issue with the TMJ joint, which is the area where the lower jaw connects to the upper jaw. Another possibility is an issue with the teeth/gums or maxillary sinus.
SO like so many of us non-doc's we jump to brain tumor:) SOunds like it might be more of a relation to teeth/gums as a first check up. COrrect? I have 2 small kids and a wife, so you can see the freakin' out I think?
If your eye, eyelids or orbital areas don't seem to be the primary locus of the swelling and discomfort I would tend to lean toward the jaw/teeth/sinus as the first place to check.
I agree with you :0). If you think being a non-doc causes you to jump to the fatal diagnosis first for every ache and pain you should try being a first year medical student!! I must have had 100 deadly diseases that first year.....
Thanks. XXXXX give it a couple of days or should I see a dentist today/tomorrow? Is this something that will self correct?
I guess getting straight to the point, do you think if it were something serious, the swelling would be really noticeable? As of now, I cannot even say for sure if it is swollen?
I agree....call a DDS if things persist. It is hard to tell since I can't see you....but I get the feeling that you could continue to watch things at this point with the hope that it will get better on it's own and call a DDS or see a primary care MD in the near future should things not resolve or get worse. I hope I have been helpful. Please press "accept" so I can get credit. I'll be happy to answer any other questions until you have the best answer possible. It has been a pleasure chatting with you.
Take home message? I think your gonna live.....watchful waiting sound fine. No need to rush out and get life insurance to save the wife and kids :)
I've got 5 kids so I know what your going through somewhat.....
Have a great day. Is there anything else I can answer for you?
Just one more thing.....If it is in fact TMJ or related, does this cause headaches as well. I have had headaches for literally years going back to high school, but never any dizziness or vomiting, etc
so all the docs told me nothing to worry about. FUnny if it turned out to be this.
That is out of my area of expertese, but coming from a family with 3 dentists in it I can say that, yes, TMJ can contribute to headaches. It is unlikely, however, that you have suffered from TMJ since HS without having it diagnosed. Headaches can come from a million different things and, in my experience, headaches that have been going on for 3 decades are usually not from some terrible disease.
Thanks! Have a great day

Live Stats: Holiday Inn Invitational - Jan. 11-12
LINCOLN, Neb. - After not competing since the Dec. 7 Power Meet, the Wyoming track and field teams resumed the indoor season with success Friday evening at the Holiday Inn Invitational at Nebraska's Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb.
Both the men's and women's squads saw multiple athletes achieve personal bests while others earned top marks in their respective events.
"It was a solid day for us and good to get back into the swing of things," said coach Bryan Berryhill. "There were quite a few athletes who did very well and came out and performed as expected following their training over the break. Overall, it was an upbeat team effort and our teams were ready to compete."
Senior Abi Bever earned a personal record time of 10:18.35 in the 3,000-meter run, beating her former best time of 10:18.89 from last season. In the 60-meter dash, Audrey West achieved a personal-best time of 7.80 seconds, topping her old mark of 7.91 from a year ago.
On the men's side, several 60-meter hurdlers broke their previous best times for the event in Friday's preliminary round. Senior Brandon Douglas, who placed first overall, beat his former best time of 8.18 seconds from 2011 with an 8.11 and moved from third to first on the all-time UW list for the event ahead of Michael Tasker's 8.16. Jacob Edwards ran an 8.40 to beat his 2011 best of 8.73, while junior Aaron Praska topped his 8.46 from 2011 by a hundredth of a second at 8.45. In the mile run, junior Ken Lane earned a 4:27.06 to beat his 2011 best of 4:27.65 by just over a half-second.
In the women's 60-meter hurdles preliminaries, senior Katy Hall placed first in 8.79 seconds and was followed closely by junior Jenna Mann, who came in fourth at 8.85. Candace Wollert had a nice finish in the 800-meter run, arriving in second at 2:10.52 with Olivia Heaston (5th, 2:14) and Natalie Hurst (10th, 2:19) close behind.
In the mile run, Andrea Klimowski placed second in 5:05.78, while Bever came in second in the 3,000-meter with her personal-best time. Holly Page and Devon England led the pack in the 5,000-meter, earning respective times of 18:05.52 and 18:28.33.
For the women's throwers, Wyoming had the top three placements in the weight throw as Shreese Daniels (16.65m), Anna George (16.42m) and Cody Milbourn (16.38) led the field. Sophomore Katie Higgins placed eighth at 15.35 meters.
In the men's 3,000-meter, junior Garrett Zans placed second at 8:27.71 with Aaron Derner (5th, 8:39) and Michael Banks (6th, 8:44) in close pursuit. In the long jump, senior Lenyn Leonce came in fourth place at 7.19 meters, while weight throwers Dalton Sybrant (2nd, 17.23m) and Mark Sparks (4th, 17.08m) had strong finishes.
The Holiday Inn Invitational continues Saturday beginning with the field events set to start at 11 a.m. MT. Live results and a schedule of events can be found at the above links.

slowrunner77 (430) Reno, Nevada | August 5, 2015
was there before the lunch crowd, and before food service started, but really enjoyed a flight of better-than-expected seasonals. Highest brewery in the lower 48. I like the vibe, and the indoor and outdoor seating. A little high on flight prices for smaller than usual pours, but otherwise a great place I'd like to visit more often.
Sokolov (899) Moscow, Russia | March 27, 2015
Although this is not a classical brewpub, but a tasting room by the brewery, it's still very good place to go. Tasting room itself looks & feels like small bar - it's a pity they don't serve food. Beer is good: 7 regulars + 4 seasonals.
Defreni (67) Husum, Denmark | July 26, 2014
Ser egentlig fint ud og starter rigtig godt på parkeringspladsen, men derfra går det nedaf. Ikke særlig god betjening og meget forvirret personale. Som om de blev overrasket over der rent faktisk kom folk for at smage deres øl.
jvdijk99 (39) , Netherlands | October 8, 2013
Tasting room is in a small industrial area, but still a short walk from some restaurants and shops in town. Not aplace you'd hang around all evening, but good to have so e tasters, buy some of their beer and move on. I was pleasantly surprised with their double pale ale and their porter.
thetmaxx (22) West Sacramento, California | October 8, 2012
Visited the brewery because my brother recently moved here. We went here for a tasting and they had a great selection. Yes it's just a tasting room, but it was fun, the staff was friendly and they had lots of beer and root beer on tap. They really do make world class beers!! Also visited for the Mammoth Bluesapalooza which was really fun, great venue and music! the tasting day was amazing, they brought in tons of breweries for tasting it was really fun!
Ober (58) Bommelerwaard, Netherlands | July 3, 2012
The tasting room was in a factory shed. It was nice equipped. It was not possible to sit. The staff was freindly and knew a lot. Also a shop for the beers and other things from the brewery. The beers where served in samples.
JohnnyJ (100) San Diego, California | June 15, 2012
Typical industrial park tasting room, but they don't brew in the building. The people there were really nice and friendly. The regular lineup was free to try, which is not typical. A fairly large variety of mammoth beers. None of the beers where life changing, but the price was right and the people were good.
keepersj12 (63) Sicklerville, New Jersey | June 18, 2011
What's not to like. A brewery in an industrial park is supposed to be like this. Ambiance is relative. The place looked like a brewery. What were you expecting? The guys serving the beer were great. They took the time to talk although it was not crowded when I stopped in. There was the usual t-shirts and such. They had 10 beers to sample, something for everyone. This is a must when in town
DeadGirl (76) San Diego, California | April 21, 2010| Updated April 26, 2010
Visited the restaurant/brewpub/discotheque one Saturday night after riding down the mountain for a short weekend trip. 8:55pm, ordered a Mammoth IPA 365. Five minutes later, somebody turns off all the lights, turns on all the neon lights, and naked girls start jumping on the speakers as DJ Hypnotiq goes wild with disco music. Brewing? Craft beer? Doesn't have much to do with the club scene. It's really confusing. However, on a more recent trip, we visited the MBC tasting room- which was a nice, somewhat cozy place to grab a few souvenirs and taste a couple of their brews for a few minutes. I'll definitely be returning to the tasting room whenever I have a chance to go back.

The MBC tasting room is much like other CA tasting rooms, something out of an industrial parkway and takes up one unit. Because they don't brew at the unit, there was no smell of spent grain! It looked more like a little gift shop than anything. All decked out with apparel, bottles for sale, and all the State Fair ribbons they won. Katie and the other nice lady took all visitors through a 10 beer flight, and were sweet as can be. The owner and the brewer were on hand to chat it up. There was a beer for everyone on tap, so I'd say the selection was good. The flight was free, and the bottles for sale were decently prices, especially in a tourist trap town. Overall, this is a must visit if you come up to the mountains. The Charleywine and Doppelbock rock the house.

Don't overlook the expat woman
Maggy Lee laments that the talent of women expatriates, including those who come here as accompanying spouses, too often go untapped
Hong Kong continues to lure large numbers of transnational professionals who live, work and enjoy their leisure in the territory.
As a transient minority, expatriates' experiences and contributions are often ignored or overlooked, particularly those of women who may be joining the Hong Kong community as an accompanying spouse. But understanding what expatriate mothers think about Hong Kong as a place to live and raise a family can enhance the city's standing as a desirable location for business, as well as its social and cultural development.
Over the past two years, we interviewed 40 highly skilled expatriate women who relocated to Hong Kong either as independent professionals or as accompanying spouses. Their length of residence in Hong Kong varies from three months to 30 years. Their stories reflect the changes in the city's colonial history and localisation of the civil service, as well as the restrictions imposed by immigration policies.
All of our participants, regardless of age or length of stay, view Hong Kong as "a land of opportunity" for career progression and self-development.
Many enjoy a sense of safety and freedom and feel able to walk around Hong Kong without fear of harassment or being gawked at. Single women find it easier to break away from the constrictive gender roles and family life they were confined to in their home countries and embrace a new and largely self-defined social role. Most describe their lifestyle in Hong Kong as "liberating".
However, choosing to lead an expat life in Hong Kong comes with trade-offs. Like many local women, some female expatriates have to shoulder the expectation and stress that accompanies having to care from afar for elderly parents often with health problems, made especially harder in the current era of economic austerity.
Some accompanying spouses struggle to maintain their financial independence or to find part-time employment due to visa restrictions and a lack of family-friendly workplace policies in Hong Kong. Additionally, they have to cope with the rising cost of housing and a shortage of English-language school places for their children.
Although local policies tend to focus on the economic contributions of transnational professionals, this does not mean that female expatriates' social contributions should be devalued. Many women in our study actively take part in a range of voluntary work and local residents' committees. Some follow local politics and exercise their right to vote with enthusiasm; others advocate for positive change in social and environmental policies.
Given their high level of education and skills, expatriate women clearly represent an important yet largely untapped resource in Hong Kong that, if harnessed appropriately, could reap benefits for the economy and society at large.
Our challenge is to come up with more systematic efforts and both formal and less formal channels to make sure that they are socially and culturally integrated citizens.
Maggy Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Hong Kong. This article is part of a monthly series on women and gender issues, developed in collaboration with The Women's Foundation

Shailene Woodley 'Didn't Know What to Expect' With 'Divergent'
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Shailene Woodley phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about her latest project, Divergent.
The movie, which is the first in a franchise based off the young adult series by Veronica Roth, takes places in the future where people are divided into factions based on their virtues.
"It's complicated," Shailene admits of the plot. "There's the idea it's about a girl who switches factions and has to make a choice for herself and then deal with the consequences of her choices. But it also deals with warfare and it deals with one society taking over another society … there are so many different themes and storylines interwoven."
The actress, who at first joked that she has yet to read the book series, admitted she actually had to go over the pages a few times. "I didn't know what to expect and I found all of the different storylines so important and they have such important parallels to today's society and I was blown away."
To hear more from Shailene, like how she eats clay – yes, clay! – listen to the full interview below! Catch Divergent out in theaters Friday.

Japanese WW2 soldier Hiroo Onoda reflects on his life
A Japanese soldier who spent almost three decades fighting in the Philippine jungle after the end of World War Two has died at the age of 91.
Hiroo Onoda remained on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended.
Trained in guerrilla warfare, he spent his time surveying military facilities and is believed to have killed dozens of people that he mistook for the enemy.
He was finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer was flown in to see him.
This footage is an edited excerpt from the BBC Timewatch programme : The Last Surrender.

Dream. Dare. Do – that is Suyati's work principle in a nutshell.
Predictive analytics, basically follows a wide range of statistical methods from predictive modeling, machine learning, artificial intelligence and data mining that evaluate and analyze the facts from the present as well as the past to make predictions about future or any unknown events. Predictive analytics is used in Customer relationship management (CRM), healthcare, cross selling, fraud detection, risk management, direct marketing, underwriting, etc.
In the field of education, the desire for stronger actions and efficient operations is leading colleges and universities to alter their methods of operation. Universities have started facing increasing pressure to beat the inflation on tuition fees, the burden of student cumulative debt money, outstanding credit card debt that is to be collected and rejection of state funds. These situations demand well-organized business practices to be more efficient in the competitive market.
Since the online systems like Learning Management System and Student Information System are the driving functions in educational institutes, a colossal amount of data about students, workers, sponsors, and graduates get stored during each and every transaction that is being done. This series of online analysis applications goes beyond reporting and monitoring. This data can further be used in analysis and estimation of the future. Institutes today make decisions based on these estimation results that are produced based on events already occurred. Later the actuals are compared with the estimated results to see if the improvement exists as expected. The common areas of improvement are
Predictive analysis provides perceptions on events even before it occurs. Hence the outcome of the event can be influenced. For example, Google map uses GPS and location information about our current location and destinations and suggests the best possible route and all possible alternate routes to reach the destination safer and faster. In a similar way, the data of the student is used to analyze the factors that can affect the student from reaching the goals and deadlines. The progress of the student is estimated at the initial point itself. Any hurdle that may cross the way can be arbitrated and eradicated in a proactive manner so as to helps the students attain the goals with ease. This whole process seems tedious and tough, but is helpful.
The reason why any educational institute should go for predictive analysis depends and varies from institute to institute. But the common expectation is to have a foreseen vision at each and every step of this entire process. Hence the path to be taken is known and understood beforehand and it helps in meeting the objectives of this entire process. The end results are very efficient and powerful in terms of students and faculty management.
Mostly the institutes that provide higher education widely uses the predictive analysis. Their primary motto is to make the feel and experience of the students during their tenure in the institute better. Predictive analysis is also used by the educational institutes to attract students around the globe, retain students, offer personalized education and also support different monetary decisions. This in turn benefits the institute, faculty, students as well as the parents.
Where to Focus?
There are multiple areas where predictive analysis can focus. It depends on the objective and the business of use. Usually, at educational institutions, the primary area of focus will be staffing, enrollment, retention and personalized education. These are the common areas where the usage of predictive analysis improves outcome.
Some institutes are apprehensive of taking the longer route and are keener in testing the waters first, to get a feel of it. Most customers have started to try out predictive analysis solutions which doesn't need any monetary investment.
This is the right time for all the educational institutions to start using the predictive analysis as it helps to provide the best to the students, faculty, parents as well as the institute, by analyzing the data available and predicting to help shape a fine future.

information for UK sample library authorities
Quick FAQs for Sample Libraries (pdf format) is available to print.
An overview on the Role of Sample Libraries is also available to view/print.
The PLR office makes payments to authors from government funds for the use of their books in public libraries. Payments are made based on the estimated number of times a book is borrowed nationally. Estimates are produced from data collected from a sample of library authroities throughout the UK. Some of the library authorities are changed each year.
Does our library authority have to participate in the sample?
If designated, your authority must provide the requested data – but we will only designate authorities with a suitable catalogue and library management system (LMS). If you are changing your LMS supplier around the time that test data is due, or when live data collection is about to start, we may decide to select another authority and postpone your involvement until another year.
What is the rough timetable of events?
How long will we be in the PLR sample?
You can only participate for a maximum of 4 years continuously – although the normal participation period is now 3 years. We may decide to deselect your authority early if you change your LMS during the 3 years – but you will always receive at least 6 month's notice of designation or deselection.
Can we reclaim the cost of providing data to PLR?
Yes. We will consult with your LMS supplier about their annual PLR software maintenance charges. The LMS supplier will invoice you and you will then reclaim the money from PLR. At the same time, we will reimburse you for any "operational costs" that you incur (for example you might want to make a modest charge for each set of data you send us to cover staff time). Some authorities decide not to charge for operational costs as the effort involved is minimal.
How frequently should we invoice you?
You should invoice us once per year. We will send you a purchase order each year as a reminder to invoice us.
How frequently do we have to send data?
Live data collection should start on 1 July. You should send data for 1 July – 31 July at the beginning of August and then continue monthly for 6 months until the end of December. From the January, we will ask you to switch to sending data every two months for the remainder of the time that you are in the sample.
Will we get any regular feedback on our data?
Yes. When you send in your initial test data, you will receive an email with various analysis reports attached. You will get a list of your "Top 25 Most Borrowed Books" every time you send us some data. In addition, you will receive national, regional and local "Top 100 Most Borrowed Books" lists every year. If we find any anomalies in the data (eg invalid ISBNs) we will report these to you so that you can amend them if you wish.
How can I find out more about PLR?
You are welcome to visit the PLR office in Stockton on Tees by arrangement. PLR staff are always available to answer your questions by telephone or email.

May 1, 2012 - Lindy Hayes, RivertonEditor:
In the news it says Congress might pass a bill on wolf management that says the wolf plan can not be challenged in court. I have never heard of that before. Is that legal?
I though the courts were there to balance out laws passed by Congress if they are challenged. It's part of the Constitution, isn't it? I just don't see how a law like that could ever "fly."

The car you see here may look like nothing more than a modified Ford Escort from the outside, but only when you peer through the windows would you find the beast lurking within. The students enrolled in Washtenaw Community College partook in a challenge unlike one we've ever seen before, to fit a mid-engine super car's engine into a four door family sedan.
The build-up, which was spearheaded by Course Director Gary Sobbry, was actually hatched over beers shared between a WCC auto-mechanic instructor and a couple of Ford engineers. The program is no stranger to big projects, as Sobbry's group had previously built promotional vehicles for Dodge and GM. The class worked on Sobbry's personal Dodge Magnum which displayed at SEMA in Las Vegas back in 2004 and also was enlisted by GM to shoehorn a 572CID 620hp crate-motor into a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle for Rides. However, this project was the most complicated to date and required very specialized help to make it a reality.
The team's original plan was to replace the Five Hundred's 203hp V6 with the GT's supercharged V8 in front and mount the six-speed transmission at the rear axle, joining the two via lightweight torque tube. However, given the project's truncated timetable, the plan was way too complex and the team was forced to choose an alternate route. The crew decided to mount the GT's entire mid-engine powertrain into the rear half of the Five Hundred, which fortunately actually offered more space than the GT's narrow aluminum frame.
This isn't your typical engine swap. Luckily the team involved with this project was able to get their hands on a prototype Ford GT engine that was intended to be scrapped. We think it was put to a much better use.
Much of the Five Hundred's innards were removed to accommodate the GT frame that the WCC students had to build a steel-tube frame to keep the chassis from collapsing. Other fundamental modifications included the custom fuel cell and engine cooling system, not to mention the alterations to the front suspension for the GT's massive brakes and wheel bearings.
Sporting a show-quality GT-inspired paintjob and rear fender flares more suited for a racecar, the WCC Ford GT-R debuted to a crowd of dropped jaws and amazement. And this Frankenstein proved to be no slouch, as it posted 0-to-60mph times of 4.1 seconds and covering a quarter-mile in 12.8 seconds. Not bad for a car weighing over 4,400lbs.

Guest Lecture
Hi everybody! Yesterday was especially exciting for someone interested in Asian Studies. Jim and Deborah Fallows came to visit and speak at Oxy, and they came to my DWA class on Brazil, Russia, India, and China in addition to speaking in two other locations throughout the day. In case you don't know, Jim Fallows is a fairly prominent author for the Atlantic and wrote the book Postcards from Tomorrow Square, which I loved. Deborah Fallows has a PhD in linguistics and wrote the book Dreaming in Chinese, which I haven't read yet but intend to do so this summer when I have time. Anyway, the two of them came to speak. It took me about five minutes to realize that not only were these two speakers attention grabbing (at least for me), they can articulate how a lot of people from the United States feel about China and suggest intelligent ways to improve Chinese-American relations. When Jim Fallows spoke, he said that Americans should see China as a partner rather than fear them. In dealing with the world, he said, Americans should be confident but not defensive. He also brought up a GREAT point: whatever issues America has, China either has them worse or has other enormous issues. Although China is growing, America shouldn't fear China. Apparently a lot of Americans believe that China's economy has already surpassed ours; Mr. Fallows points out that China's economy not only hasn't surpassed ours, their per-capita income is significantly lower than ours. So guys, when you think about China, don't fear the rise of a giant superpower. How our generation approaches the challenge of China's rise will change the ways we interact with China in the future. ~Frances

Suleiman's reputation holds dread for some in Egypt
Omar Suleiman may not have the official title of Egyptian president, but for all practical purposes, he's the country's de facto leader.
Despite widespread news reports that Hosni Mubarak would resign, the embattled Egyptian ruler refused to relinquish office Thursday night. Instead, in a rambling speech that outraged opposition groups, Mubarak transferred constitutional powers to Suleiman, the longtime state intelligence chief and Mubarak confidant appointed vice president on Jan. 29.
"All presidential authority and power stipulated under the constitution is transferred to the vice president, including military authority," Sameh Shoukry, Egypt's U.S. ambassador, told CNN.
EGYPT: Anticipation of resignation leads to letdown
U.S. INTEL CHIEF: Egypt is a political 'earthquake'
WHITE HOUSE: Mubarak announcement catches administration off guard
PHOTOS: Demonstrations in Egypt
That may not be enough to satisfy the increasingly angry pro-democracy movement that has gripped Egypt for 17 days. Suleiman's heavy-handed role suppressing anti-Mubarak dissident organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and his ties to the CIA make him a poor choice to lead the country, even temporarily, and could lead to escalating violence in the coming days, many observers say.
"He's as unacceptable to the protesters as Mubarak. He has fully sided with Mubarak and has used threats to dissuade protesters," says Fawaz Gerges, professor of Middle Eastern politics and international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
"The long-quiescent population has had far more than enough of quasi-dictatorial rule," says Edward Peck, a former diplomat who served in Egypt and Iraq and as U.S. ambassador to Mauritania. "To offer as his replacement, however temporarily, one of his most reprehensible subordinates is certainly not going to satisfy the demonstrators."
Suleiman, 74, was a longtime military officer who fought against Israel during the 1967's Six-Day War and 1973's Yom Kippur War. Several decades later, he helped negotiate peace talks between Palestinian groups and Israel, overseeing Eygpt's efforts to destroy Hamas by demolishing tunnels used to funnel weapons and supplies to Gaza.
"He's the guy the Israelis trust. He's brokered peace talks between Hamas and Fatah. He's the guy, in American parlance, who cracks heads, makes it happen," says Joel Rubin, deputy director of the National Security Network, a Washington, D.C., foreign policy think tank.
Until he was appointed vice president last month, Suleiman was not well known outside of political and international circles. "The longer the limelight is on him, the less people like him. Part of the story is understanding his personal role in suppressing opposition and engaging in torture," says Lisa Hajjar, an editor for the online Arab journal Jadaliyya. She recently wrote an article titled "Omar Suleiman, the CIA's Man in Cairo and Egypt's Torturer-in-Chief."
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern notes Suleiman's reputation dates back to 1993, when he first became head of Egypt's intelligence agency and began assisting the CIA in interrogating terrorism suspects during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
One person detained under the CIA's "rendition" program — Egyptian-born U.S. citizen Mamdouh Habib— claimed he was tortured by Suleiman himself. In October 2001, Habib was turned over to the CIA by Pakistani security forces, then shipped to Egypt. In his memoirs, My Story: The Tale of a Terrorist Who Wasn't, Habib says he was systematically tortured. At one point, his blindfold fell off and he saw Suleiman, the book says. Habib was never charged and ultimately released in 2005.
"Suleiman's a thug wearing a silk tie; a really nasty, mean guy," McGovern says. "He makes Mubarak look like a fuzzy puppy. A guy like that who gets into power is unlikely to let it go."
Suleiman is considered a rival of Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, commander in chief of Egypt's armed forces. But Thursday's move by Mubarak is a sign that Suleiman has the support of the military, which could be ordered to quell protesters in the coming days, Hajjar says.

Ali G is to make a return to television screens this spring after finding box office success with his first movie, it was announced yesterday. And Sacha Baron Cohen, the comic behind the spoof rapper, is adding another character to his stable for the series.
He will play a camp fashion correspondent called Bruno when he pops back for six new editions of Da Ali G Show.
Together with Kazakh reporter Borat, his characters will be seen meeting celebrities and everyday people he encounters in the US.
The series is a co-production with the American HBO channel which is behind shows such as Sex And The City and Six Feet Under.
Baron Cohen shies away from speaking out of character in public but has become a huge star since finding success with the often controversial Ali G.
The leader of the Staines Massive found fame on Channel 4's The 11 O'clock Show, before launching his own spin-off series.
His interviews with public figures became hugely popular and he landed two TV Bafta awards.
The move into film with Ali G In Da House broadened his international appeal and he topped the box office charts in the Netherlands, Australia and South Africa.

We have been to Arousals several times over the last few years, and it remains one of our fave clubs. Atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit. The whole club is well laid out, esp love the dark areas. Fetish night and Bi nights are the best in our opinion.
15 Jan 2010
Their web link is down, and was looking to visit! It has been like that since Christmas. Does anyone know how to get in touch with them, or have they ceased trading?
Thanks, paul lovespirit

text: First the good stuff: 1. Firefox and Thunderbird worked right away, which had not been the case with the Betas. 2. I was not presented with a choice of nVidia drivers, but nv behaved well which is all a normal user would expect. This was on my 64bit AMD desktop with 7600GT video card. I also noticed there was no longer the four iterations of the WRITE_MIXER error I had been seeing upon existing PC-BSD through the last few versions of the 1.x series and the earlier 7.x versions. This being said PC-BSD 7.1 RC1 still does not know how to handle my M-Audio Revolution 5.1 Sound Card. The volume is still 10db lower than on Windows or Linux and while I can turn the volume up much higher the dynamics are simply not there and the music sounds dull... plus for someone who switches between OSes, it makes no sense to be running barely open for the other other OSes and almost all the way up for PC-BSD to get a similar volume level (with less dynamics). I realize the problem may well be with the FreeBSD layer but this would keep me from using PC-BSD as my principal Desktop OS, at least at this point in time... Kmix simply does not see the hardware only the OSS driver. At the same time I had to pull the 32bit version on my Acer Aspire One netbook. The two previous versions would simply not run reliably: some times the touchpad worked fully and would respond to taps and scroll motiions... but most often, it would not and I was forced to use the buttons on either side of the touchpad (which are awful on that machine). Possibly worse was the fact that the wireless network worked at best 50% of the time. I would only find out after booting into PC-BSD whether or not it would work. In the end, it was simply too frustrating to keep doing this... too bad because the OS showed promise in terms of response on a netbook class machine, although the startup time was quite long. I will keep trying to use PC-BSD on my desktop for now and maybe one day revisit on the netbook PC.

LEGAL highs caused the death of a festival goer.
Jonathan Graham, 33, had consumed 5-EAPB, also named Benzo Fury, at the Brownstock Festival in Stow Maries on August 31 last year.
He woke the next day feeling unwell and his condition rapidly deteriorated.
Paramedics were called to the festival site and took him to Basildon Hospital, where he died later day.
Forensic pathologist Dr Nathaniel Cary found Mr Graham's cause of death to be stimulant drug intoxication, the inquest at Chelmsford Coroners Court heard.
Essex Police had said his death was non-suspicious.
Mr Graham, of Great Baddow, had ordered the drug online and the package arrived purporting to be a research chemical marked not for human consumption, the hearing was told.
Its effects are similar to ecstasy or MDMA, with users experiencing feelings of euphoria and empathy.
The drug can also cause respiratory and cardiac failure.
Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray, who recorded the death as an accident, said she was aware there were several other deaths involving the drug.
She felt drug companies were causing "insidious mischief" by making drugs that stay within the law.
"The companies are now devising and concocting new drugs," she said.
"It's insidious mischief.
"They are getting away with it by making them one molecule different."
At the time of Mr Graham's death, 5-EAPB was a legal high but it is now under a temporary control order.

Dekalb - Butler- Land of Moses
Located just outside of Butler off of ST RT 6 is a road that goes to the right and over the railroad tracks. There is a cemetery there that is allegedly haunted and they say at night if you park in the cemetery by the old crematorium you can hear cries of the departed. This begins the stretch of the road called the land of Moses that leads to Gypsy hill. This area is extremely dark at night and there is an area that Gypsies congregated at near the Indiana/Ohio line. This area is covered by a dense dark forest. Rumor has it that the gypsies kidnapped and raped a farmers daughter in the early 1900s. The farmers then banded together and killed the gypsies. Over the next 10 years the farmers all were killed by an axe. One report said that a gypsy returned from the dead and haunted the woods which is where the farmers bodies were found. Till this day very few people will dare to go to those woods park their car and get out and explore them. There is an old foundation of a log house there and some other remnants of the gypsies.

Bucharest (Oct. 12)
The Prefect of the District of Storojineti, Major Chirescu, who is a son-in-law of the Prime Minister, Professor Jorga, issued an order some time back to clear away a number of refugee barracks which are situated in the town of Wiznitz, in Bukovina. The barracks are inhabited by 144 Jews belonging to the poorest section of the population, and owing to the congested state of the town, there is no possibility of finding other accommodation for them, so that the eviction order means rendering them homeless on the verge of the winter.
The barracks date back to the end of the war, when the inhabitants of the town who had been scattered by the war operations returning from various parts of the then Austrian Empire found their homes destroyed, and the authorities erected a number of barracks for their accommodation. Gradually houses were built, but the poorest section of the population had to remain in the barracks. Most of them are unemployed, or old people, living on the charity of their neighbours. The site on which the barracks are situated is said to be wanted by the local director of schools, a certain Popescu, who wishes to erect a house there. The Municipality, to whom the site belongs, refused to evict the present occupiers, but the Prefect, M. Chirescu, overruled the Municipality, and ordered the barracks to be removed. The Mayor of Wiznitz, who is himself a Jew, Wiznitz being almost entirely inhabited by Jews, refused to obey the order and said that he would rather resign his office. The Jewish Deputies Ebner and Diamant and Senator Chief Rabbi Dr. Niemirover interviewed the authorities, but without success.
Meanwhile the Prefect sent down workmen to Wiznitz, who have already begun to demolish the barracks. The victims sent a telegram to the Union of Roumanian Jews in Bucharest, appealing for help. The President of the Union, Dr. W. Fildermann, and the Secretary, Mr. M. Selzer Saratzeanu, visited the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry decided to send to Wiznitz a commission consisting of M. Florescu, the Inspector General of the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Selzer Saratzeanu, as the delegate of the Union, in order to enquire into the matter on the spot, and to endeavour to bring about a settlement. The demand of the representatives of the Union of Roumanian Jews is that the eviction from the refugee barracks should at least be suspended till the spring. M. Saratzeanu has already left for Wiznitz.


text: In a world populated by small corporations, and blessed with abundant resources, this simplistic mantra was in fact a general economic truism ... about 100 years ago. In today's world of scarce resources, already over-populated with mega-corporations, it is a dinosaur-strategy, assuring one's path to extinction. While this observation is appropriate to most of the corporate world, it is especially easy to illustrate the truth of this (modern) principle by examining precious metals mining. Look at every large gold mining company on the planet, and one will see the clear illustration of a strategic decision by management: The choice to operate a (relatively) small number of mega-mines, vs. choosing instead to produce gold from a larger number of smaller mines. At a very elementary level, this strategy may seem to represent wisdom. The simplistic corporate mantra is that larger operations must be "more efficient" than smaller ones. While this assertion is not necessarily true in general, it is patently untrue with respect to precious metals mining (and most forms of mining). In a world of diminishing resources, resource scarcity implies two realities in mining. The number of (undeveloped) "large deposits" in the world is steadily declining, and the "grades" (i.e., richness) of the ore is also steadily declining. This means extracting/crushing/refining more and more tons of ore to get less and less ounces of gold. From an environmental standpoint, this is an appalling dynamic. To begin with, the amount of environmental disruption/devastation that results from mining operations rises exponentially with the size of the mine. One large mine (typically) doesn't produce an amount of "pollution" equal to four mines, one-fourth its size -- but often two or three times that quantity. Yet even from the standpoint of corporate efficiency, this is clearly an inept, if not suicidal, strategy. In our world of scarce resources, nowhere is this reality more apparent (and expensive) than with respect to energy. At best (i.e., producing high-grade ore from efficient mines), mining companies represent a highly energy-intensive form of industry. Deliberately choosing to produce gold from deposits with rapidly declining grades, in an economic paradigm of soaring energy costs, in an energy-intensive industry, is nothing less than a recipe for destroying one's own profit margins. Out of desperation, the large-cap gold miners have turned to polymetallic deposits for their jumbo mines, bolstering their sagging bottom-lines by using the "credits" from these other metals to offset soaring production (energy) costs.

He said: "It's an absolute honour to captain this club and it's something I've always dreamt of. It came out of the blue and was a bit of a surprise but it is something I would never turn down.
"Richard Hill put trust in me to lead the team and I tried to repay him with a big performance. I came here for a purpose - to take the club forward and I couldn't ask for more tonight."
Andy Goode kicked three penalties and one drop-goal for the hosts as Saracens struggled to make an impact on the match.
Warriors enjoyed large spells of possession throughout a nervy encounter and Percival was quick to pay tribute to the way his side stopped Saracens playing their game.
He continued: "It's never pretty rugby against Saracens. They pride themselves on their kicking game and they often get results.
"So our plan was to go out and play. Hilly put out an attacking side and we did attack. They defended well to be fair to them.
"There were big hits from us when we defended and our line speed was stopping them from going forward - we shut them down tonight."
Percival still thinks there is room for improvement and has urged the side to cut out mistakes ahead of the trip to Harlequins next Friday.
He added: "We have to cut out our mistakes which put us under pressure. We were in the Saracens' 22 a couple of times tonight but after a couple of silly penalties we were back in our own 22.
"We've got look at the video, be disciplined in training and make sure we make improvements. But everyone is delighted with our victory tonight and we will keep pushing on."
