If you're gearing up to study abroad in the UK, you likely have many things on your mind - where you're going to live, what classes you'll take, what part of France you'll visit on spring break. Emergency preparedness is probably not as high on your list as, say, driving on the other side of the road and learning British slang. But questions that would come naturally to you at home, like where to call for an ambulance or what happens if you get sick, may not be readily apparent in a new country. You don't want the first time you think about how to refill a prescription to be when you've run out. This handy checklist will help prepare you for potential emergencies abroad and let you get back to researching weekend castle trips.
The house of Lords voted to take international students out of the UK's net migration figures.
Peers backed an amendment tabled by Lord Hannay of Chiswick, stating that no student should be treated for public policy purposes as a long term migrant to the UK, for the duration of their studies.
The amendment passed with a large majority in favour 313 votes vs 219. The defeat is a set back for Downing street. Theresa May, who in her capacity as Home Secretary and most recently Prime Minister, did not support removing international students from net migration figures, which recent governments have pledge to bring down by "tens of thousands."
This policy has resulted in international numbers from certain countries reducing and UK institutions, loosing out to competitor countries, such as the US and Australia. The UK is currently second to the US as a provider of higher education. Lord Hannay warned that the UK is "loosing market share to our main competitors"
The Department of Education voiced its disappointment in the vote. However, the amendment will next be considered by MPs who may choose to accept or reject it. Should the bill pass, then the government would be forced into a situation where it has to encourage international students and cooperation between UK and overseas institutions.
Gone are the days of students having to travel thousands of miles in search of a good education. In an effort to secure a career, it wasn't abnormal for youngsters to need to fly the nest and move to another city - or even a foreign country - to gain the skills they needed to get ahead.
These days, however, institutions around the globe offer a veritable smorgasbord of degree choices, all designed to meet the needs of education hungry students, without the need to up sticks if they don't want to.
But what if you fancy something a little more unusual that's not readily available on your doorstep? What if you want to study in a foreign land? What if you want to endure 12 months of rain?
Well, away from your archetypal undergraduate subjects such as accounting, law or humanities, the UK is positively bubbling with a range of atypical courses designed to get your grey matter tingling. Whether you fancy a degree in viticulture and oenology or a solid grounding in Viking Studies, Dear Old Blighty really is the place to be.
To get you started, check out three of the most unusual degrees you can study in Britain ...
One of Britain's biggest sports stars Tom Daley revealed yesterday that he is in a relationship with a man. In a YouTube video, the London 2012 bronze medallist said: "In spring this year my life changed massively when I met someone, and they make me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great. That someone is a guy".
In the personal video, which has already had more than 4.5million views, the diving star goes on to explain:
"It did take me by surprise a little bit. It was always in the back of my head that something like that could happen. But it wasn't until spring this year that something just clicked. It felt right and I thought 'OK'. And my whole world changed there and then."
You can watch the whole moving video below.
Two British universities have taken the radical step of fingerprinting their international students to monitor lecture attendance. The universities of Sunderland and Ulster have both brought in this unprecedented system to comply with new government rules, but have faced heavy criticism for it.
The 'biometric monitoring systems' are used at satellite campuses in London, which are home to only overseas students. It is this discrimination between British and foreign students that has been roundly condemned, with the NUS leading the chorus of concern.
International students' officer Daniel Stevens claimed the measures are "incredibly unwelcoming" and "unfairly target one group", adding that:
"It is appalling that certain institutions have required physical checks of any quantity and have discriminated against international students when implementing monitoring procedures."
"It is appalling that certain institutions have required physical checks of any quantity and have discriminated against international students when implementing monitoring procedures."
Such concerns have been echoed by Sunderland students' union president Carl Taylor who called it a "limitation of freedom".
Indeed, another institution- Newcastle University, scrapped their idea to use a similar fingerprinting system after a student union vote against it.

In what could very well be another nail in the coffin for your local video rental store, Netflix is continuing to search for new and faster ways of delivering the films and entertainment that we love.
In a recent interview with Reuters, as chronicled on CNET, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says that he hopes to introduce video-streaming service to the iPhone. Although we've heard this claim before, it's a considerably more serious tone from the Netflix chief, as the company seems poised to not only roll out new plans to bring its service to the iPhone, but also to Sony's PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii.
But, as Hastings points out, there is no immediate timetable for this development. And for this very reason, it's difficult for some (including myself) to get overly excited about the news.
For the sake of full disclosure, I will admit to being a Netflix subscriber. Moreover, I am a Netflix fanatic. So having this carrot dangled in font of me with no clear time frame as to when I can actually sink my teeth into it makes it impossible to give any substantial consideration to this "prospect" without growing incredibly restless in anticipation.
Netflix getting all cozy with Microsoft is yet another reason to doubt that we'll see Netflix streamed to the iPhone in any modest period of time. So no matter what rumblings you may have heard about an exciting new Netflix app coming soon to the iPhone, unfortunately, that just isn't the case for now.Hastings told Reuters that his hope is that Netflix's streaming service will eventually "be on all the game consoles, all the Blu-ray players, (and) all the Internet TVs." But as Hastings pointed out, his company has signed a deal with Microsoft to deliver Netflix streaming exclusively to the Xbox 360 in the video game space.
Although Hastings says he doesn't believe that the recent and forthcoming wave of video store closures at Blockbuster will help his company, I can't really see it any other way. To me, Hastings sounds like a corporate chief who is yet to wholly trust the mobile realm for entertainment. In a world where Dan Brown's new book "The Lost Symbol" is actually selling better on the Kindle than in hardcover on Amazon.com, anyone who fails to jump as quickly as possible on the mobile bandwagon will soon find themselves in the competition's dust.Despite rumors indicating that a Netflix app is already on its way to the App Store, Hastings would not give a timetable: "(With) movie watching, we are not focused on mobile yet, but (instead) on the TV, on Blu-ray, and on the video game consoles. We will get to mobile eventually, including the iPhone." While Netflix is likely to offer such a service on the iPhone and iPod Touch "over time," he said there is little chance of Netflix video streaming becoming available in the App Store "in the short term."

Presentation by Alison Painter. This presentation covers the progress of Cooper & Sons from 1882-2002 when Thomas Cooper, and later his descendants, operated the brewery on Statenborough Street. For many years they retained the old way of brewing and everything in the brewery reflected this. As the business increased there was some modernisation of both plant and brewing methods, but the old Sparkling Ale and Extra Stout remained the same. Coopers remains a family company, but the move to the modern complex at Regency Park in 2002 was necessary and the differences from the old brewery are remarkable.
Alison has enjoyed a long association with Coopers having started work there as laboratory assistant to Max Cooper in 1960. In 1977 she left to study at Flinders University, subsequently completing an Honours Degree in history. Alison's thesis was a history of Coopers and the brewing industry in SA which, with additions, became the first edition of Jolly Good Ale and Old. Since then she has written other brewing histories.

Grain SA expects a surplus of 3.5 million tons of maize and aims to export all of it to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
South Africa will likely harvest almost 15 million tons of maize in 2017, up 87% from last year's drought-hit crop.
Grain SA chief executive Jannie de Villiers says the first export permits for Taiwan are expected to be issued this week.
Government has expressed concern about the surplus being sold off, with the possibility of a return this year of the El Nino weather pattern.

In a referendum debate where swathes of the British media have no qualms about publishing an endless barrage of scaremongering half-truths, it is refreshing to hear clear, fact-based arguments from passionate pro-European voices. Representatives of British universities and the UK science community came together at the British Chamber of Commerce in Belgium earlier this week to set out exactly why there is such strong support for EU membership across universities and the science community. Pro Europa was delighted to welcome the President of Universities UK Dame Julia Goodfellow and the organisation's Deputy Chief Executive Alistair Jarvis, as well as Dr Mike Galsworthy, Programme Director of grassroots campaigns Scientists for EU.
We can be proud in the UK of fostering cutting-edge science and being home to some of the very best universities in the world. But the message was clear - the UK's membership of the European Union makes our outstanding position even stronger.
Our universities, Dame Goodfellow explained, have been incredibly successful in winning the competitive grants offered by the EU, taking full advantage of the funds available. Depending on the focus of the university, these grants can amount to 25% of a university's research funding. Are we really willing to effectively cut the research budgets, with no indication that the UK government would plug the gap?
An engine for collaboration
More than that though, most of the very best research is done by the best minds collaborating in teams working across borders. Indeed it has been found that research with international collaborators has nearly 50% more impact than research done at national level. Academics tell us that frameworks, programmes and funding from the EU support this kind of collaboration and make working across borders that much easier.
Dr Mike Galsworthy, the Programme Director of Scientists for EU, made a passionate case for the UK to remain in the EU grounded on the EU's scientific prowess and the benefits for the UK's science community. In fact, the EU produces over a third of the world's scientific output –34[VC1] % more than the US. And Britain benefits from being at the helm of this scientific powerhouse.
Working together, UK and European researchers pool their resources, expertise, data and infrastructure to achieve more together than they could do alone. Many of today's challenges are global, not national. In the EU, researchers can collaborate more easily to come up with solutions on an international scale, making the most of Europe's diversity to achieve bigger and better results.
Indeed, 62% of scientific research in the UK involves collaboration with partners across borders, an asset which securing research that has around 40% more impact. Brexit could seriously limit the mobility of researchers and choke the international collaboration that has seen British science flourish in recent years.
"In the last few years some of our best students have come from outside the UK. The advent of the EU, and the workplace mobility, has had a considerable impact for the good, on teaching and research." Emeritus professor of muscle physiology, Manchester Metropolitan University
Enhancing the student experience at university and beyond
The exchanges of UK and other EU students via the EU's flagship Erasmus+ programme is another hugely undervalued benefit of EU membership, that we wouldn't necessarily be able to just jump back into post-Brexit, as Switzerland recently found out. As well as culturally enriching the university experience both in the UK and abroad, participation in the Erasmus programme halves the chance of students facing long-term unemployment after graduation.
Benefits beyond the university campus
As Dame Julia Goodfellow explained though, it's not only students, graduates and academics that benefit from the success of our universities within the EU: "This should matter to everyone because universities are about the future prosperity of the UK – driving the economy, creating jobs and enhancing our society." Universities have a major positive impact on local economies, attracting investment, supporting and growing businesses and creating jobs. Universities are often the largest employers in their area, with many other jobs dependent on their expenditure and that of their students.
Beyond that, the cutting edge research coming out of British universities benefits us all – it brings about advances, discoveries and inventions that improve people's lives – from medicine and healthcare to new materials, products and services.
What's at stake?
Alistair Jarvis, the Deputy Chief Executive of Universities UK also highlighted that "the quality of our universities attracts around 125,000 continental European students who spend £2.67bn in UK each year." That's over of quarter of the balance of the UK's total annual contribution to the EU budget. What's more, around 15% of all academic staff in our universities bring their expertise and insights from other EU countries.
Let's be clear. A Brexit puts both these factors at risk. If the UK does withdraw from the EU, it would at the very least mean a huge hike in fees for EU students in the UK, making British unis significantly less appealing to Europe's brightest minds who might otherwise come to work, study and contribute to our economy. Many of the valuable staff, even before the referendum, have started looking for work back on the continent.
The arguments for remaining are compelling, and that's why 83% of UK scientists and all 132 members of Universities UK are backing the remain campaign. We owe it to the future success of British science and universities to vote to stay in the EU an ensure

Device dislocation or embolization has been reported as one of the commonest complications of ASD percutaneous closure. In this case, if a transcatheter removal is not possible, it requires a surgical therapy, usually through a median sternotomy. We report on a case of a 30-year-old woman, who underwent percutaneous closure of an ostium secundum ASD. After a late embolization of the Amplatzer Septal Occluder into the pulmonary trunk 10 months later, the implant was successfully obtained via a surgical removal through a video-guided minimally invasive port-access approach. This case shows that, in experienced hands, the port-access technique for surgical procedures on the pulmonary trunk is feasible, and therefore, it might be a good alternative option to the traditional surgery, mainly in young patients. From the Division of Cardiac Surgery, San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy. Accepted for publication August 3, 2013.

Abstract CASE REPORT DISCUSSION REFERENCES The Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO; AGA Medical Corporation, Plymouth, MN USA) has been in clinical use since 1999,1 and nowadays, it is a standard procedure and a widely accepted alternative to surgery in most patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). Nevertheless, the increasing number of devices placed results in an increasing number of reported adverse events. Device dislocation or embolization has been reported as one of the commonest complications of ASD percutaneous closure.2 When a transcatheter removal is not possible, it requires a surgical therapy. Usually, the surgical removal is done with the aid of the cardiopulmonary bypass and through a full sternotomy. We report on a case of an ASO late embolization into the pulmonary trunk 10 months after the implant and the successful surgical removal through a minimally invasive video-guided port-access approach. Back to Top | Article Outline CASE REPORT An ostium secundum type ASD was percutaneously closed with an ASO implant in a 30-year-old woman. The procedure was uneventful, and the predischarge echocardiography confirmed the correct position of the device. Ten months later, a transthoracic echocardiography showed the migration of the device into the pulmonary trunk. Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed the position of the device into the main pulmonary artery (Fig. 1). An angiography was performed, clearly showing the presence of the ASO into the pulmonary artery (Fig. 2). The transcatheter removal was not possible. Several attempts to retrieve the device angiographically failed, and the patient was then referred to our cardiac surgery unit. At our institution, port-access technique is routinely used for all patients undergoing mitral and tricuspid valve surgery, so we adopted this technique to remove the ASO. After a 5-cm right submammary incision, the fourth intercostal space was entered and the pericardium was opened. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established through the direct cannulation of the left femoral artery and percutaneous cannulation of the right femoral and jugular vein. The aorta was directly cross-clamped with a flexible transthoracic clamp (Cygnet; Novare Surgical System Inc, Cupertino, CA USA), and the heart was then arrested with antegrade cold crystalloid cardioplegia. A 5-mm 30-degree lens thoracoscope was introduced into the third intercostal space. A right atriotomy was performed, and the ASD was found and directly closed with a Prolene 4-0 suture. Videoscopy was extremely useful to reach the pulmonary trunk, and a transverse arteriotomy was carried out. The ASO was carefully removed, detaching the device from organized endothelial adhesions (Fig. 3). The pulmonary trunk was finally sutured. The operation was then concluded in the appropriate manner (Fig. 4). Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 The aortic cross-clamp and the cardiopulmonary bypass time were 51 and 61 minutes, respectively. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged from the intensive care unit on the first postoperative day and from the hospital on the fifth postoperative day in good clinical condition. Back to Top | Article Outline DISCUSSION Percutaneous transcatheter closure of ASDs is currently the standard care. It avoids open-heart surgery and its associated complications and the unavoidable scar. Many published series have shown that it is a very effective procedure because of its high success rate and low incidence of complications. However, although complications after transcatheter interventions are not frequent, they may often require a surgical evaluation and management. Once a complication leads to surgery, the mortality is significantly higher than that of primary surgery ASD closure.3 The ASO embolized into the pulmonary artery should be removed as soon as possible, to avoid the risk for adherence and endothelialization, which increase technical difficulty of removal later. The surgical retrieval is usually performed through a median sternotomy. In this report, we opted for a less invasive port-access technique, starting from our extensive experience and after the request for a minimally invasive approach by the patient. To the best of our knowledge, only one similar, but not identical, case has been previously published.4 In that case, the ascending aorta was occluded with an endoaortic balloon. After the closure of the ASD, they removed the endoaortic clamp and continued the operation on the beating heart, and they retracted the aorta to the right to reach the pulmonary trunk more easily. Our technique was quite different. We used a flexible transthoracic clamp, introduced through the same minithoracotomy incision. The Cygnet clamp is a malleable clamp, and it was not in the way during surgery. Indeed, unlike the intra-aortic occlusion, it was very convenient to manipulate the aorta during the maneuvers to expose the pulmonary artery. After the ASD closure, we were able to continue the operation under cardioplegic arrest, and we were still able to reach the pulmonary trunk and to remove the device. The videothoracoscopic approach was essential to see and to perform the operation. The 5-mm 30-degree telescope allowed great visibility and the ability to reach areas difficult to access with a 0-degree telescope. Relative contraindications for this minimally invasive approach in patients with a migrated ASO into the pulmonary trunk are the same as those for "port-access" procedure in general, including inability to obtain peripheral artery cannulation, need for concomitant coronary procedures, and severe aortic valve insufficiency. Pleural scarring and obesity may complicate surgical approach. Patients with an aortic aneurysm should not be considered for this approach. In our opinion, the only absolute contraindication to this minimally invasive approach is the lack of extensive experience in totally video-guided cardiac surgery. In conclusion, port-access technique is a well-accepted option and improves surgical results and patients' satisfaction and quality of life. We believe that eliminating the need for median sternotomy greatly reduces the trauma and pain associated with open-chest surgery and improves quality of life for patients; for that reason, we adopted this technique for all patients undergoing mitral and tricuspid surgery. This case shows that, in experienced hands, the port-access technique for surgical procedures on the pulmonary trunk is feasible and may be a good alternative option to the traditional surgery, mainly in young patients.

We still have one third of the summer left to enjoy, but like most homeschool parents, I've got 2017/18 on my mind (and in my planner, and in my other planner, and in my other planner).
We have moved since the last time I did a school room post. Ironically, our set up looks almost exactly the same (except our new space has carpet! We have to be extra careful not to spill). We've got the red cabinet that looks like a regular old china hutch, but in reality, behind the closed doors you'd find two shelves cram packed with books, paper, and other homeschool items that we'll use on a regular basis.
While we don't really have a set place to do our work, the dining room table is definitely the hub. This is where I sit with the girls to work on subjects that they need help with, and where they sit when they need a good, ergonomically correct work space (when typing or doing cursive, for example).
Otherwise, if we're not at this table, you'll find my students on the couch, at the outside table, or in their beds. Whatever works for them, works for me.
The big difference between the old house and the new place, is that I have my own little work space! This is where all the magic happens 😉 I do my planning, organize all 54 field trips and classes for the community, do my personal school work, and manage the household from here. It's a pretty important spot! It's not exactly how I'd like it, but until I win a shopping spree to Ikea, it's going to look like this. It's OK, it's totally functional, and I love it.

Scotland joins US in grief
Across Scotland the impact of the world's worst terrorist attack is being felt as US citizens here struggle to understand what has happened in their homeland.
In Edinburgh, the US Consulate is being guarded by police and the flag flies at half-mast.
People - and there are thought to be about 20,000 Americans living in Scotland - have been leaving floral tributes and lighting candles at the consulate.
A further 500,000 American tourists visit Scotland each year and many visitors have been attending church since news of the atrocities broke on Tuesday afternoon.
In Aberdeen, American children at the International School have been given counselling after watching the tragedy on television.
Books of Condolence have been opened in several Scottish cities - in Glasgow, the Lord Provost was the first person to sign.
Americans have been rallying round to share information about friends and relatives at home, and they have been pulling together to try to get through to the US on congested phone lines.
Katie Mosehaver, an American student visiting Edinburgh, said: "It's just devastating. We all tried the phones all day and we all used the same calling cards, but no-one could get through.
"It was just a sense of community as people were trying to help each other find each others' families."
Yousaf Inait, a leader of the Scottish Muslim community, said: "In Scotland they are living as peaceful citizens.
"Islam doesn't preach any kind of violence at all and any person who is of any kind of religion, or none at all."
He added: "It is a shocking thing for all of us."
BBC Scotland reporter Isabel Fraser said that she had found the American community in Scotland to be experiencing a sense of absolute helplessness.

Whenever the sun comes out in Edinburgh, there are plenty of nice outdoor spaces in which to enjoy the decent weather. You can try climbing up Arthurs Seat, wandering around the Botanic Gardens, or do as Mr Bug and I did a few days ago and stroll along the Water of Leith, Edinburgh's very own river.

Sightseeing in Edinburgh needn't cost the Earth. In fact, there are lots of museums and exhibitions that won't cost you a penny.
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
When it's the weekend and it's sunny and you're feeling the lazy Sunday vibes, a visit to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is a must. Unlike its sisters the National Portrait Gallery and the The Scottish National Gallery, it is a little further out of town, but it's definitely worth the trip.
The National Museum of Scotland
Like many folks who grew up in or around Edinburgh, the National Museum of Scotland has a special place in my heart. My earliest memories of the museum are of me running around the various galleries with my Dad, and feeling as pleased as punch when he let me buy some rocks from the gift shop.
I might be a bit older now, but I still love wandering around the museum whenever I have a free day and treating myself to the odd trinket or two!
Princes Street Gardens
If you find the hustle and bustle of the city getting all a bit too much, you can always retreat to one of Edinburgh's most popular public parks: Princes Street Gardens. Marking the division between Old and New Town, this large and luscious green space is a haven for locals, a must-see for visitors and a hub for some of the city's most exciting concerts and events.
Portobello Beach
Whenever there is a glimmer of sunshine in Edinburgh, all the locals make a beeline for Portobello (aka Porty), our very own two mile stretch of golden sand. The area used to be a popular seaside holiday destination, and there is still reflections of that golden era on the promenade today, with an eclectic selection amusements, fish and chips, ice cream and retro sweet shops.
Should you spit in the Heart of Midlothian?
As you pass St Giles Cathedral, you may notice an unassuming brick mosaic of in the shape of a heart on the pavement. This is the Heart of Midlothian, and is easily missed if you aren't looking for it. However, it's rarely missed by the locals, who normally feel compelled to spit a huge gob of phlegm in it every time they pass. Why do they do this? Where does this icky tradition come from? And should you do it too?
Continue reading Should you spit in the Heart of Midlothian?
The Scottish National Gallery
Right in the very heart of the city, you'll find one of Scotland's largest and finest collections of art in the Scottish National Gallery. A complex of three different buildings seamlessly interconnected, this wide collection consists of ever-changing exhibitions in the Royal Academy, and permanent works from the great names of European art like Monet, Raphael, Titian and Rembrandt.
St Giles Cathedral
You can't walk down the Royal Mile without spotting the formidable silhouette of St Giles Cathedral, which sits grandly near the Castle end of the High Street. With its beautiful architecture and breathtaking interior, it's a great place to explore both inside and out, regardless of your religion.
The Fruitmarket Gallery
Ideally located at the back of Waverley Station you'll find The Fruitmarket Gallery, which is a small hub that includes a cafe, bookshop and an exhibition space which showcases the best work by artists from Scotland and beyond.
Greyfriars Bobby
A visit to Edinburgh simply isn't complete without learning about the bittersweet tale of Greyfriars Bobby. Anyone who's ever lived in Edinburgh can tell you the story of the city's most loyal dog, and you can visit his memorial just across the road from the National Museum of Scotland.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by JethroPugh, Sep 28, 2009.
I like his intesity and fire, but he's not a good fit to our current players imo
I see what you're saying, but I disagree. I think he does pretty well in the booth. I think having two football minds in there works well, especially when Gruden cuts Tirico out of the convo, "Did you see that Jaws?" "Jaws, look at that block, he's getting after it!"
Im not a fan of Gruden....
I think he is overrated as a coach.....took a talented team to the SB against his former team that was still using his plays.......
Plus there were numerous players calling him a gutless coach and talked from both sides of his mouth.....players stop trusting him in Tampa....
Sorry....no Gruden for me......and no Shanahan either.....
Gruden and his GM Bruce Allen hand picked all those players.
The Glazers let him have free reign over that franchise.
Gruden ran the Buccaneers into the ground... alienated his players, had the fans turn on him.
Gruden wouldn't survive in Dallas. Because he's not very good.
But hey... he makes a mean face and looks like a horror doll! He must be good.
I agree. My first impression was that he was just awful. I was wondering how in the world they chose him. But he warmed up quickly--he made a lot of very sharp comments throughout the night.
I still don't like his voice and delivery but what he had to say was actually informative and interesting. He's a nice addition so far.
I thought Millen was ok, but Young really went out of his way to rag DALLAS. He talks all week about how Romo can't be the reason you lose, and then he bags on him. Can't have it both ways.
Yeah, I think the same way, too. During the draft, you hardly heard anything negative about a kid from Gruden. I don't agree about not having in the booth. He's a MUCH better improvement over Tony Corndogger.
Was it me or did it seem like Gruden was really positive about this team? Was he posturing for a possible interview with JJ? I'd love to have Gruden coach this team next year.
I don't know if I would want him coaching the team or anything, but I thought he was good on MNF. He gave pretty good coach's insight, and he was not nearly as critical as a lot of the supposed "know-it-alls".

Employees Top Source of Retail Shrink: Study
MIAMI - Retailers suspect that their own employees are the main source of retail shrink, according to a new Retail Systems Research (RSR) Benchmark report.
MIAMI - Retailers suspect that their own employees are the main source of retail shrink, according to a new Retail Systems Research (RSR) Benchmark report.
The report, "Winning Trends in Loss Prevention: Benchmark study 2008," found the worst-performing retailers are more worried about employee theft than other retailers. While 56 percent of retail winners said they believe employee theft of merchandise is one of the top three sources of shrink, 80 percent of average performers and 70 percent of laggards think that their employees are stealing from them. This far outpaces customers as a perceived source of shrink, according to the report, which was sponsored Micros Retail and Sensormatic.
"New loss prevention (LP) initiatives have to be cost-effective in both human and financial terms," said Paula Rosenblum, RSR managing director and author of the report. "Retailers are looking to add business intelligence to existing technologies and provide exception-based reports from video and text-based data to the responsible party. They believe new LP initiatives can reduce their shrink by 10 percent to 25 percent."
The report sheds light on the internal obstacles retailers face in driving new LP initiatives and the methods successful retailers use to overcome those obstacles. It also offers recommendations for improving results without violating core tenet of customer-centricity.

In considering the question of the socially transformative potential of ge-
nomic knowledge and technology, I have argued that caution is advisable.
Transformation may occur, but very unevenly: it depends on how much you
have invested in genomics and how engaged with it you are. For associations
of patients affected by ge ne tic disorders, or even diseases said to have a
significant but as yet indeterminate ge ne tic component, genomics may have
significant effects on perceptions of belonging, relatedness, family, citizen-
ship, risk, the future, and self. Notions of identity, and indeed of what it
means to be human, may be subject to impor tant changes. But change is not
in a zero- sum relationship with continuity: more of the first does not neces-
sarily mean less of the second.
The concept of race illustrates this very well. Ge ne tics has both altered
and reinforced this concept in different ways, from the moment the science
emerged as a named specialism in the early twentieth century. At first, ge ne tic
data were drawn into "racial studies" and were used in an attempt to describe
"races," now defined in terms of the frequency distribution of specific traits.
This was not a new endeavor: as I pointed out in chapter 1, the sociologist
William Z. Ripley was already talking in terms of frequency distributions of
physical traits in his 1899 book, Races of Eu rope. But he was attempting to infer
under lying racial types or essences, a task which became increasingly fruitless
as ge ne tic data on human diversity multiplied. Ge ne tics thus refuted the pos-
sibility of distinct racial types— already seen by Ripley as an "unattainable"
abstraction (cited by Stepan 1982: 94)— but retained the idea expressed by
Dobzhansky that "race differences are objectively ascertainable biological phe-
nomena" (Livingstone and Dobzhansky 1962), although some scientists re-
jected the idea that "race" expressed an objective biological real ity (Lewontin
1972). In this century, the much- cited datum that all humans are "99.9 percent
identical" in ge ne tic terms has been widely used to refute the concept of race
as a biological real ity and attack it as a social categorization. However, other

Recently, I've been asked by a couple of prospective clients how RDX's service delivery model is the correct choice for their company and their specific environment. It hasn't been a question that I've honestly pondered before until lately; all I really thought about prior to getting asked this question is that we aim to strive to do the best for all of the clients that we work for and with, and that we do a great job at it.
This also may be a question that you've been asking yourself, but I would advise you to ask yourself a few more questions about your organization's DBA needs prior to jumping on board with RDX:
- What capacity will RDX serve in the grand scheme of your organization?
- Are you looking for a day-to-day production DBA who can make sure that your database environments run smoothly?
- Are you looking for someone who can come in, analyze your existing environment and suggest and implement improvements to help your company run a bit more efficiently?
- Is it possible that you're looking for developmental work and seek the experience and ability of a seasoned DBA that can help push your company towards its future?
- Do you have multiple concurrent initiatives that are all database-centric and need some project management experience to help keep everything in order from both the technical and management side?
And with those questions being asked, allow me to say that I, and the rest of the DBA staff at RDX, have fulfilled all of those tasks with our clients in the past. Here are some of the perks that come with utilizing the services provided by our company:
The Collective Knowledge
There comes a point when every DBA has encountered a problem that they just haven't seen before, whether it be with a legacy platform (hello, SQL Server 2000, my dear, sweet, undying friend), an emerging, cutting edge technology or some convoluted code logic implemented by a developer that hasn't worked at your organization for seven years now. A single, solitary DBA may find himself in a bind – he doesn't necessarily have the time to fully research the problem or, worse yet, there's nothing documented in the entirety of the Internet to help rectify the cause of the issue.
For one person, that would be a minor conundrum. For RDX, it just means that we lean on the collective knowledge of over 75 DBAs, all with wide ranging skillsets and specialties. Looking for suggestions on a proposed system design that you're considering for a new product rollout? The SQL Architecture Team has the experience to guide you in the right direction. Contemplating on rewriting your ETL processes to streamline your data warehouse reporting and archiving strategy? The Business Intelligence Team successfully tackles complex SSAS, SSIS and SSRS projects on a daily basis. In need of firming up your day-to-day activities and maintenance procedures? We have just the DBA to help bring your environments up to our high standards.
The message behind this is that whatever you're looking to accomplish, the team at RDX will be able to fully accommodate your needs, which isn't something that just one or two on-site FTEs may be able to accomplish.
Just the Right Amount of Service
Let's assume that you currently have a strong staff of production and development DBAs at your company; however, you're finding that they may be getting stretched just a little thin as your company continues to grow. Instead of hiring on another full-time DBA for your organization, you may only need to have an additional 30-40 hours' worth of work picked up by whomever you hire. This is the exact situation where RDX and our staff can be an incredible asset to your company.
Whether you're looking to have the 24x7x365 monitoring and on-call coverage that comes with a service provider like RDX, you're looking to offload a few processes to your assigned DBA (and the entire RDX team that supports them) to help bail out your current employees, or you're looking for that experienced, seasoned DBA to help step in to fully manage your database environments, you can be assured that we can configure your contract's hours to be exactly the amount of time you need. The ability to customize, and adjust, your monthly hours helps in making sure you're being both sound with your IT employment budget along with knowing you're bringing on some of the best help available.
Understanding and Action
This final point is one that you won't find on our marketing material, yet it may be one of the greatest assets that RDX can provide its clients. It's something that isn't documentable; it's not something that's tangible. It's personality, it's relatability, it's the way that each DBA at RDX handles themselves with their clients. There's the level the professionalism and commitment that each of my colleagues personifies in our everyday routine. Staying late on a Thursday night to ensure your rollout is successful, performing instance patches at 3:00AM on a Saturday morning (that your staff will be eternally grateful for us handling, I assure you), or dealing with a critical performance instance at lunchtime on a Monday – it doesn't matter; it's our job and we enjoy doing it, and doing it well. Whether we're interfacing with the CIO, network admins, fellow DBAs or end users at your company, we're going to be able to relate to each of them because we want our clients to see us as part of their team and interact with us as if we were working in the office right next door. There's a level of pride and satisfaction that comes in working with our clients.
If you have any questions, contact us or leave a comment below! Thanks for reading.

Willie Reid was dancing with teammates, posing for pictures and pausing for interviews.
The Florida State senior receiver had an Atlantic Coast Conference championship hat on his head, a smile on his face and renewed swagger with every step.
This is how it's supposed to be.
The Seminoles are conference champs _ again.
Reid returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown, the defense continually harassed Marcus Vick and Florida State upset No. 5 Virginia Tech 27-22 Saturday night in the inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
The Seminoles (8-4) snapped a three-game losing streak _ the program's first since 1983 _ and won the league title for the 12th time in 14 years.
"We're back to normal now," said Reid, who finished with 210 all-purpose yards and was the game's most valuable player. "We're back to Florida State football."
Florida State turned around a disappointing season and earned a Bowl Championship Series berth in the Orange Bowl, where it likely will face No. 4 Penn State.
Bobby Bowden vs. Joe Paterno _ the two winningest coaches in major college football history.
"That old man?" Bowden said. "Is that likely to happen? Well, dadgummit. That's my luck. ... If we play them, it will be a great matchup: two old men out there trying to see who has life left in them."
Few could have envisioned that matchup. Not after Florida State was outscored 89-36 in losses to North Carolina State, Clemson and Florida.
Boosters and fans were calling for Bowden to fire his son and offensive coordinator, Jeff Bowden. Some were even talking about the elder Bowden stepping down after 19 losses in the last five seasons. Others were already looking ahead and guessing how many in a row the team would lose; Florida State hasn't lost four in a row since 1975, the year before Bowden arrived.
The Seminoles may have silenced those groans _ starting with Reid's return, which sparked a 24-point third quarter that broke a 3-3 tie.
"We had to shut up all our critics," Reid said.
Of course, they might have returned in the fourth quarter as the Seminoles conservatively worked the clock while Virginia Tech made a comeback.
Vick led the Hokies (10-2) to consecutive touchdowns in the fourth quarter _ a 29-yard pass to Josh Morgan and then a 4-yard run _ that cut the lead to 27-15. He capped a 93-yard drive with a 1-yard TD run with 1:45 to play that made it 27-22.
But Tech, without any timeouts, failed to recover the onside kick. The Seminoles ran out the clock from there _ and celebrated another ACC title.
"We stayed confident throughout all the troubling things," Florida State defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley said. "Every team goes through things like that. That's the way champions do it; they overcome their problems."
Vick was much better than he was against Miami last month, when he threw two interceptions and fumbled four times. He finished 26-of-52 passing for 335 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran 17 times for 11 yards and two scores.
But he also was sacked six times, and the Hokies were penalized 17 times for 143 yards.
"It's not like us and I really don't know what happened," tailback Cedric Humes said. "I have no words for it."
Vick certainly gave Florida State a scare, but it was too little, too late.
The Seminoles did too much damage in the decisive third quarter. Virginia Tech went three-and-out to open the second half, and Reid fielded the punt near the sideline, sprinted ahead, cut inside and then juked two players and went nearly untouched into the end zone. Punter Nic Schmitt had a shot at Reid, but his diving, one-armed attempt at a leg tackle was futile.
Vick, who was sacked four times in the first half and six times in the game, threw an interception on the ensuing possession. Florida State's Drew Weatherford completed consecutive passes to Fred Rouse and De'Cody Fagg, then Leon Washington sprinted up the middle for a 14-yard score.
The Seminoles had a 17-3 lead and all the momentum. Players were jumping up and down on the sideline. Florida State's famed War Chant resonated through Alltel Stadium. This looked much more like the confident, borderline cocky, Seminoles who used to run roughshod through the conference.
That changed last year when Virginia Tech and Miami joined the league. The Hokies beat Miami for the ACC title in 2004 and were a double-digit favorite to repeat _ mostly because of the Seminoles' recent struggles.
But Florida State's defense returned to form, making Virginia Tech look a step slow and as helpless as Miami did in a 27-7 victory in Blacksburg last month.
The Hokies backed into the championship game when Georgia Tech upset Miami three weeks ago.
Now, Virginia Tech will either return to Jacksonville and face Louisville in the Gator Bowl or play in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
The Hokies might want to avoid return to Alltel Stadium _ especially with all the bad memories.
"We battled back, but got ourselves in a little bit too much of a hole," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "We just couldn't get a call at the right time. It was just a tough night."
Florida State piled on two more scores in the third quarter _ setting up the victory and essentially ending the slide.
"Our team was in a tailspin," Bowden said. "We pulled out of it. I knew we would. I just didn't think it would be this game."

Basse Normandie or Lower Normandy is an administrative region spreading along the coast of North France. Normandy has a rich history as one of the most powerful European sovereign states during the Middle Age. From the 9th century onwards it was conquered and inhabited by the brave and warlike Vikings, also known as the Norsemen. They gave the name of the country. In the years of the Hundred Years' War Normandy was a part of the English Kingdom. In the middle of the 15th century France annexed the province. In 1956 it was divided along the navigable Dives River into two smaller provinces: Lower and Upper Normandy, respectively Basse and Haute Normandie.
The region of Basse Normandie is known for its attractive seaside resorts and lovely historic towns. Among them the most prominent is Honfleur which is the nearest seaside destination to the capital city, making it a very popular destination for Parisians. The construction of the 2 km long Pont de Normandie bridge in the 1990s connected the port town of Le Havre with Honfleur over the Seine River and the coastal siltation area, making the latter town easily accessible for the tourists coming from Britain too. Other attractive seaside towns are Deauville and Trouville. They are located very close to each other and have common train station and bus terminal.

The most famous historic destination in Basse Normandie is located in the coastal Calvados department. These are the famous D-Day beaches where more than 100 thousand American soldiers lost their lives in a glorious battle against Nazi Germany. The beaches are still known with their wartime names, such as Omaha, Utah, Gold, Sword and Juno. They all have well preserved war bunkers built by the Germans for the defense of the coast and shell holes from the battle. Most of the nearby towns feature interesting war museums, although most of the tourists try to forget the terror of the war and just to enjoy the beautiful beaches and the excellent seafood.

The other coastal department of the region is that of Manche. It is located west of Calvados and its three sides are washed by the waters of the English Channel. The area is known for the picturesque rocky coasts but also for the first European factory for uranium treatment. Most of the department's territory is occupied by the beautiful Cotentin Peninsula. The appealing historic port town of Cherbourg lies on the tip of this peninsula. In the south-western corner of Manche, right next to the border with Bretagne is situated Le Mont St-Michel - one of the most famous tourist destinations throughout France. In the English Channel, west of the Cotentin Peninsula are situated the attractive islands of Jersey and Guernsey. The easiest approach to them is from the harbour of the amazing historic town of Saint-Malo in the neighbouring region of Bretagne.
The Orne department of Basse Normandie has no coastline. It comprises vast agricultural lands, picturesque orchards and meadows, hiding lovely little villages with well preserved half-timbered houses, as well as fetching historic towns, such as Saint-Lô. A 25 km long stretch of the River Orne's valley close to the city of Caen is often called Swiss Normandie. Although there are no mountains here, the area has very picturesque rocky slopes flanking the river, crags and lovely hills covered by green forests. Orne is also known for its vast territory with dense woods spreading in the south areas of the department. This is a real paradise on earth for walkers and nature lovers. The most famous of the forests is Forêt d'Ecouves near Alençon where can be seen a variety of tree types, including oak, beech, pine and spruce. The forest is well populated by many wild animals, such as deer and wild boars.

Jan Skypala, Bodo Menze, Diogo Matos and Olivier Jarosz
On the 30th and 31st of January, the ECA Youth Task Force visited the Puma Centro de Futebol, the Youth Academy of Sporting Clube de Portugal.Inaugurated in June 2002, the Sporting Puma Youth Academy is the first of such size and quality to be built in Portugal recognised by the quality certification ISO9001. The Academy is considered the most modern and well equipped training facility in Portugal. Devoted to training and management, the complex is ready to prepare for any kind of football competition. It covers 250 thousand square metres, includes 6 full size pitches and offers top facilities for both youth and senior players.

Matthew Caruana Galizia, a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' Panama Papers team, was temporarily locked out of his Facebook account over four posts, which were deleted for violating the social network's community standards. Caruana Galizia published a series of posts alleging corruption by the prime minister of Malta and his associates. Written in Maltese, each post included images of documents from the Panama Papers leak. The censorship comes amid political turmoil, where a snap election is scheduled for 3 June.

The venue is like a paradise with beautiful green space, pools and calming waterfalls. The rooms are lovely, each with crisp white linens, fluffy white towels, wood floors, ceiling fans, and balconies overlooking green space. The Italian restaurant is especially good and the breakfast and lunch buffets are well above average. Hemmingway's Bar off the main lobby offers a great space and for a Tusker Light with colleagues after a day of meetings. But the real key to this hotel is the wonderful employees. They were consistently knowledegable, friendly and helpful. My friend lost her luggage and the hotel staff went above and beyond to help her contact the airport over several days to try and retrieve it (which she finally did).
