Again lots of changes since the last snapshot. This one will hopefully lead to a 3.1 release soon (yes, we'll skip 3.0, since things are quite different than in the 3.0 betas). For one thing, window and input is by default handled by SDL again, hopefully solving Qt-related performance problems some people were seeing. For comparison, a Qt-version is also available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/warzone ... p/download. Put the expanded warzone2100qt.exe into your Warzone folder and run it instead of the normal one. On Linux, run "./configure --with-backend=qt", then compile and run as usual. The lobby login support is gone again for now, since unfortunately nobody had time to fix some outstanding issues.
Also, thanks to Emdek who played through it and tested fixes, the campaign should be completable now. And there is support for stored templates, where you can save a unit design, and it'll appear in your build menu automatically once all required research is done.

Bug Reports:
This release probably contains bugs, please report them so they can be fixed. If you have trouble getting the game to work at all, consider a forum thread, you will probably get help faster that way.
See BugReporting for details, in short:
- Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in git, the ticket will be closed.
- If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
- If there is no report yet, make a new ticket (one per issue).
- Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
- The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems (or the other way around, the harder it is for us to reproduce a problem, the less likely it is to get fixed), so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... whatever is relevant.
- When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).
As usual, downloads can be found on our download page or directly on Sourceforge. Direct download links:

Those who follow the healthcare industry are undoubtedly familiar with the wave of consolidation that has been driven by the passage of the Affordable Care Act and the broader shift in market dynamics in recent years. For hospitals and health systems, pursuing a merger or acquisition can bring operating efficiencies, greater negotiating power due to expanded geographic presence or patient population, and a diversification of revenue sources.
Broadly, there are two primary types of M&A activity hospitals and health systems engage in: geographic and non-geographic/opportunistic. Geographic acquisitions can help the buyer develop or enhance a specialty in a specific region or can boost negotiation leverage. Non-geographic/opportunistic transactions can also provide negotiation leverage, but may also be targeted strictly for financial reasons (e.g. revenue opportunity or potential profit on a future sale of the asset). In either instance, varying degrees of integration may be decided upon and consideration should be given to the work and projects required to ensure the success of the transaction:
- Complete Integration – The likely scenario in many geographic-driven acquisitions, this involves an integration of nearly all systems and processes in order to enable population health management and operational efficiencies. The ultimate outcome here will be seamless incorporation of the acquisition or merger target into a health system behind one unified brand. Considerations include:
- Intelligently allocate resources – It is a challenging task to know how to leverage the institutional knowledge of employees during a transaction. Employees have full-time jobs and taking on a transaction can not only be stressful for the employees, it can actually slow down progress during an integration. Knowing whom to leverage and how much is a key decision that must be made prior to close and examined in the first few months of integration.
- Plan for disruptions – In a merger, sometimes things don't always go as planned and disruptions may occur. However, careful attention should be paid to things such as regulatory reporting to avoid disruption which may cause damage to the business from a financial and reputation perspective.
- Incorporate change management – Carefully consider how each system or process integration will affect physicians, staff members, and patients. Create a plan to communicate upcoming changes and continuously mitigate and address risks.
- Pay special attention to security – A merger or acquisition can raise the profile of your hospital or health system and hackers may take notice. Ensuring security is a part of each integration discussion can help keep your organization's information safe.
- Partial Integration – In this scenario, the buyer will choose to maintain separate brands, strategies and specific systems, but may want to integrate or consolidate certain functions such as shared services for efficiency purposes. Patient information may also be combined into a central data repository to enable population health management (as is done in Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes). Considerations include:
- Same considerations as complete integration, as applicable
- No Integration – Most likely in non-geographic/opportunistic deals, little to no integration occurs and the hospitals or health systems maintain totally separate systems, strategies, and brands. This type of acquisition offers benefits that don't require much integration at all, such as leverage in negotiation with payers, purchasing discounts, or the neutralization of a competitor. Considerations include:
- Define a dashboard – Even though integration is minimal, a dashboard populated with key metrics can help monitor the status and progress of the investment and help mitigate the risk of mismanaging the asset.
- Assess ongoing investment level – Projects should be identified to determine the level of investment necessary to maximize the value of the standalone asset.
- Actively avoid dis-synergies – The two organizations likely have separate IT and overall business strategies. Reviewing these and communicating key changes on an ongoing basis can help avoid dis-synergies and the associated unforeseen costs that can occur.
- To-Be-Determined Integration – On occasion, a hospital or health system might opportunistically execute an acquisition or merger that requires some additional time to determine the right course for integration. Considerations include:
- Identify threshold parameters – Defining parameters can help in deciding the integration point and determining when the "do nothing" strategy has reached its end.
- Know when to act – Inevitably, business pains will occur. The question becomes, when does that business pain become a threat to the business? For example, having separate contact centers may drive down patient engagement and satisfaction and could begin to hurt the business.
- Consider when to get out – Track that your organization is seeing the outcomes over the desired time horizon that led to the acquisition in the first place. If the intent was to achieve better contracting rates with insurers and those haven't materialized, it might be time to locate a buyer and exit the deal.
Whether for geographic or opportunistic reasons, a hospital or health system must support its merger or acquisition by identifying the appropriate level of integration required to ensure a return or outcome that meets investment goals. At each degree of integration, projects can be performed to set the newly incorporated hospital or health system up for success. As you combine and integrate (or consciously avoid integration), make sure not to ignore the most important constituent your organization has, the patient. Viewing each integration or process through the patient's eyes can uncover valuable insights that can be used in the formulation of your integration strategy.

Clogged Drains
We know how frustrating a clogged drain can be. Don't let a clogged drain interrupt your life. Ventura County Plumbing & Root can help clear your drain today.
Garbage Disposal
Keeping your garbage disposal cleaned and maintained will help extend its life. If your garbage disposal has stopped working or needs routine maintenance we can help.
High Water Pressure
High water pressure can cause a lot of problems. Everything from dripping faucets or toilets that will not shut off, to shortened water heater life, to burst pipes or washing machine hoses. Learn more about how we can help with high water pressure issues in your home.
High Water Bill
Most water meters have a small red triangle on them that will turn when the slightest amount of water moves thru the meter. If the triangle moves with no water running the house, this indicates leaking pipes somewhere.
To determine if the leak is inside or outside your home, locate the emergency shut off (if accessible) where the water line first enters the house. Shut off the valve and observe the meter again. If the triangle continues to turn then the leak is between the meter and the house. If the triangle does not continue to turn then the leak is inside. Inside- One or two dripping faucets or a toilet that runs can add a lot to your water bill each month. Outside- A hole 1/32 of an inch in a pipe at 60 lbs of pressure will leak 6000 gallons a month.
Faucet Repair
If you have a dripping faucet constantly, high water pressure or worn parts could be the cause. Don't let dripping faucets run up your water bill, we can repair faucet leaks in one visit!
Pipe Joint Leaks
Water line leaks can be difficult to locate and repair. The leak is not always where the water shows up. There several ways to fix pipe leaks. One of our trained plumbers will evaluate your situation and determine the best repair for your pipe leak.
Private Sewage Disposal
This consists of a septic tank and field line (leach field). The waste from your house goes into the tank (usually a 1000 gallon capacity). Solids are broken down by bacteria and the water enters the field line for dispersal. The septic tank should be pumped every 3-5 years. This keeps any solids not broken down from entering the field lines and clogging them.
With today's use of so many anti-bacterial products people are having more septic system problems, because they also kill the good bacteria in the tank. Regular use of BioOne, our all natural bacteria and enzyme product available at Ventura County Plumbing and Rooter, will help keep your septic system in proper working order.
Washing Machine Hoses
According to State Farm Insurance, burst washing machine hoses are the number one cause of water damage.
Replacing the rubber hoses with stainless steel braided hoses will virtually eliminate the chance of this happening. Also, stainless steel hoses do not need to be replaced every 3-5 years as recommended for rubber hoses.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
No Hot Water?
It doesn't matter if you have electric or a gas water heater we have full stocked trucks and trained technicians to repair your water heater in a single appointment. See how we can help repair or replace your water heater today.
Tankless Water Heaters
Run out of hot water when taking the last shower?
Don't live in discomfort see how we can install a tankless water heater today and give you the comfort of instant unlimited hot water throughout your home.
Repiping Sewer and Water Lines
Inside or outside your home, we have the knowledge and equipment to re-pipe water or sewer lines and bring them back to perfect. We provide trenchless replacement and sewer replacement as well.
Water lines — If your home has galvanized water lines, over time the flow of water will become restricted by the buildup of lime and calcium on the inside of the pipe. This will decrease the volume of water available to use more than one fixture at a time. For example, your water pressure would be low if you tried to take a shower and run the dishwasher at the same time.
Sewer Lines — Having to clear a clog in a sewer line more than once a year is just treating a symptom of a bigger problem. The problem could be a broken pipe or roots in the line. In either case, we have the equipment to see inside the pipes and determine the exact problem. Remember perfect plumbing does not stop up.
Slab Leak Repair
Ventura County Rooter & Santa Barbara County Rooter has the technology and expertise to locate slab leaks. Stop paying high water bills and see how we can find and repair your slab leak today.

Combine some adorably cute animal photos with some lovely, heartfelt, poetic text. What do you get? Corinne Fenton's new picture book, Hey Baby!. Actually, it came out late last year… I'm just a little behind the times. 😉
My review copy arrived last year and I immediately read the book to my then three-year-old daughter (now four), Lexi. She loved it! And the book promptly disappeared into her collection. So, when I sat down to write the review… I couldn't find the book. But a couple of days ago, when I asked Lexi what she wanted as her bed-time story that evening, she came running up to me with Hey Baby!. I read it to her and we enjoyed it all over again. But this time I made sure to take it with me.
Corinne Fenton (author of books such as Flame Stands Waiting and Queenie) has written a delightful message to a newborn baby. It is only two sentences long — but what absolutely perfect sentences they are. Each word is just right. And together they convey such emotion. I defy any parent to read this book and not connect with these words. Writing such a short book is by no means an easy task. Words must be chosen oh so carefully. So hats off to Corinne for the words she chose.
I'm not normally a fan of picture books that throw together a bunch of stock photos. But this book pulls it off. They are well chosen photos. Lexi certainly loved them. She made sure that I didn't turn the pages too fast, as she wanted to name each of the animals and talk about what they were doing.
My only negative comment is the presentation of four of the photos. Most of the photos, including those on the front and back cover, have the animals on a white background. No distractions — the reader's attention focussed directly onto the animals. But four of the photos are presented differently, with animals in situ. They are a bit jarring and lack the impact of the other photos. The graphic designer's choice, perhaps? (OW! My graphic designer wife just hit me.) But this is a minor quibble. It's still a pretty awesome book.
Okay… now that I've finished the review I can give the book back to Lexi. 🙂
Catch ya later, George

An Acronym for Total Cost of Ownership.
The total cost incurred by all aspects of ownership and operation of a particular item in addition to initial capital outlay, including such factors as administration, maintenance, licensing, updates and end-user training.
Such a figure is always difficult to obtain and disputable, thus TCO is a term mainly (ab)used by MarkeTroids, who will always claim that TCO favours their product, even if it would appear to be expensive. This is MicrosoftCorporation's current anti-Linux marketing strategy, after they were forced to admit that they could never be as cheap as Linux.

Module Overview
This module provides an introduction to the principles and techniques used to reconstruct past environments and detect environmental change. The underlying theories and ecological principles that enable the interpretation of information from ancient deposits are described. The principal dating methods and their limitations are discussed and case studies are used to show how some techniques have been applied to build up a picture of how and why the environment has changed over the past 2.6 million years.
The module expands on the understanding of past environmental variability to anticipate or forecast possible variations in the future; identifying the causes and mechanisms of climate change and the impact of human activity.
ARP1007 is delivered through a series of one-hour lectures and 90 minute practical classes on alternative weeks. Module Assessment includes a class test, a written essay, and the assessment of work undertaken within the practical sessions.
Module Co-ordinator: Dr Maarten Blaauw

Take a break from sprawling by the pool and try these fun, calorie-burning activities on your next holiday.
- Make morning time your activity time. The weather will probably be kindlier, your energy levels higher and your agenda emptier than later in the day.
- Re-familiarise yourself with sunrises and sunsets. A walk at dawn or dusk is rejuvenation defined. Try to make this a daily ritual of life away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual replenishment.
- Fly a stunt kite: If there's a good wind blowing, buy a stunt kite and take it to the beach or other large open space. These kites can be easily assembled, then taken apart, making them perfect for travelling. You'll give your upper body a great workout as you struggle to control the kite. You may also have to run or walk to keep the kite in the air – or chase it down once it plummets to the earth.
- Choose a cruise: It is amazing how active you can be while stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Most cruise ships offer numerous options for seaworthy exercise. Many have pools, golf simulators, climbing walls, fitness centres, jogging and walking areas and instructor-led fitness classes – and that's just what's on board. During any ocean and land excursions you can burn calories as you snorkel, hike, scuba-dive and horseback ride.
- Get into the water as much as you can. Don't allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water.
- Get out of the car every two hours. Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable trips don't happen in a car seat.

If you're searching for a job in the cosmetic industry (say you never had one or recently got laid off) or if you have one and want a better one, here are some career tips that you might find helpful.
Cosmetic science career tips
1. Don't be picky. If you lose your job spend every waking moment applying and calling into your profession. Nothing hurts a job search more than time not working. The key is to stay working in the field.
2. Don't sound desperate. While you might need a job no one want to hire someone who sounds desperate. Be inquisitive and be receptive but make sure that the company is a right fit for you. Of course, don't forget to loosen your standards when you have to.
3. Resume. Keep your resume normal. A fragranced resume printed on pink paper may have worked for Elle Woods in Legally Blonde but it doesn't work that way in real life. No crazy format, keep your resume standard.
4. Working temporarily. Take temp jobs, 3 months or more only. Remember having some job is better than not having a job.
5. Ask questions. Most managers interviewing you suck at interviewing. Memorize the job description and ask questions about the position early. Gear your answers to that. And ask good questions in the interview. Relevant ones that matter to you. No questions = no job.
6. Submitting resume. Make sure if you use a temp/staffing agency that they call you before sending your résumé, especially if you use more than one. You should tailor your resume to suit the job for which you are applying.
7. Know when to switch. If a recruiter keeps trying to get you jobs out of your field, get rid of them. If you want a job in the cosmetic industry, you need to stay in the cosmetic industry.
8. Arrive on time. Don't go to an interview more than 15 minutes early. It will hurt you. It makes you seem desperate. If you are early, wait in your car.
9. Be reliable. Once you get a job, don't be late or miss any days of work in your first 180 days. Just don't. It leaves a very sour taste in your managers mouth. It doesn't matter how good the excuse is. Get sent home, don't call in sick.
10. Keep in contact. If you're late to an interview or work, call ahead. That will probably make it insignificant.
11. Thank yous. Always send personalized thank you emails to your interviewers. Get their business card/email addresses. Don't ever ever send a mass thank you email. Mention some little detail from the interview so they remember you.
12. Be online. Set up job posting alerts on job sites. When you get an email that a job you're interested in has been posted, stop at nothing to apply instantly.
13. Answer your phone. When you're searching for a job, answer every call. A lot of recruiters don't always call people back or play phone tag well.
14. Contact. Leave a voicemail if you call someone and they don't pick up. Speak slowly, keep it brief and leave your name, number, and reason why you called. Do not just say "call me back".
15. Unemployment. Don't say anything about unemployment checks. A lot of people are more worried about unemployment checks than getting a job, they suck as employees, don't get lumped into that category.
16. Keep some things private. Don't mention kids, marriage, your gender or race. The EEOC scares everyone hiring, you don't want them worried about making a decision about you because they now know this.
17. Research. Do your research before an interview. Real research, understand the company and what your role is. If you go to an interview without knowing about the company, you'll fail.
18. Stay professional. People who are great interviewers will make you laugh and feel comfortable. Just don't forget that it is an interview, don't use any inappropriate language or tell off-color jokes.
19. Fake it 'til you make it. In an interview, you have to fake it. Talk the way you imagine people want you to talk. Remove the piercings, wear appropriate clothes, speak normally, and do your best to fit in. Don't let your appearance or mannerisms sink your chances. Don't look unique, no weird piercing a (no nose or tongue rings), hair colors tattoos etc, be professional.
20. Suit up. Non negotiable. If its retail or fast food, if they don't hire you because you're wearing a suit (it happens) you don't want to work there, and you can find a good manager that wants you there.
21. Dress up on your first day. Unless you have a uniform or its explicitly stated to you, on your first day suit up. The next day you dress like the rest of your team.
22. Avoid the troublemakers. Every company has a group of employees that are too cool to buy in to the company. That don't want to hang out with their coworkers or follow rules. They like to ignore duties, complain and gossip. Don't join them.
23. Stroke egos. Don't suck up, that's annoying. But ask managers and fellow formulators advice. Then follow their advice!
24. Social networking. Have a legitimate linked in profile, connect with people.
25. Full-time job. Job searching is a full-time job. Wake up early, apply to every job you can find, find a new website to apply to. Call companies and ask to speak to hr, it's ok, don't be shy. Ask for help, see who knows somebody. There are cosmetic science jobs out there and you can find them if you put in a serious effort looking.
Although the economy doesn't seem like it is great, there is always someone hiring. You need to be flexible, avoid being picky, know what you want and keep searching. Don't suck and you will get a job.
Career resources
An HR blog that is written by a person who I used to work with is full of useful advice for people searching for careers. The blog is actually more targeted towards HR experts but you can find lots of good information there. I'd suggest you check out the Cynical Girl.
During the month of March we are going to focus on a cosmetic science career. If you are interested in more about having a career as a cosmetic chemist, be sure to see our page on cosmetic science career.

Why spend big bucks competing with your competition in the off-line advertising world, when you can build a list of your best customers and market to them with no distractions from your competition right on their mobile phone?
Here are some eye popping Statistics about Text Message Marketing:
- 67% of people polled said that they would like to receive text message promotions from their favorite establishments.
- 22% of all text message coupon recipients will forward them to a friend
- 95% of all text messages that are sent are read within the first 5 minutes they are received.

We report on the numerical study to model a lensless optical manipulation trap to investigate some observed features as guiding and modulation effects caused by a micro-sphere. For this we calculate the field distribution and force exerted upon a micrometer-sized spherical dielectric particle in an evanescent field. The method of calculation is based on the integral equation formalism describe by A.A. Maradudin et. al. [1] and A. Mendoza-Suárez and E.R. Méndez [2]. The numerical experiments were done considering a two-dimensional model.

Classic Scalloped Potatoes
When you grow up in a cold climate, like Newfoundland, you tend to eat a lot of warming food. In my opinion, there is nothing that says warming comfort food like potatoes. I have always loved potatoes, every kind imaginable and cooked in just about any way you can think of.
Today, being cold, I thought of these potatoes from long ago. I knew they would hit the spot and they did not disappoint.
This is a very basic scalloped potato recipe, but you can easily add anything else you like. Mushrooms go well in this dish as well as leeks, cheese, and many other things. Oh, bacon! Yes, bacon would even be a great addition. If you have them plain or dress them up, I promise they will help warm you up and have you coming back for seconds.
Classic Scalloped Potatoes
Serves 8
6 Good sized potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
1 Small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 Cup/55 grams butter
1/4 Cup flour
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 1/2 Cups/600 ml milk
1 Teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to season
Small bunch of fresh chopped parsley
Small bunch of fresh chopped chives, for garnish
Grease a deep sided 8 inch square baking dish or equivalent size. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium sauce pan set over high heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and oregano once the butter has melted and is sizzling. Give a good stir and add all the flour at once. Quickly whisk for about a minute until it forms a paste. Gradually start pouring in the milk, about 1/2 cup/60 ml at a time. Continue to whisk and add milk as you go. This process will take anywhere between 5-8 minutes. You are looking for a smooth thick sauce. Once the sauce has reached the desired texture, remove from heat season with salt and pepper and add chopped parsley. Set aside.
Add about a 1/3 of your potatoes to your baking dish and top with about 1/2 of the onions. Repeat two more layers of potatoes and onions. Evenly pour over the sauce. Cover and bake for about 1 hour. Remove from oven after an hour, remove cover and return to oven to continue baking for another 1/2 hour or so. When done the potatoes should be golden on the top and tender inside. Leave for about 5 minutes to cool. Top with chopped chives and serve.

In 2007, Robin Moulyn and her partner, Rob "literally sold the farm" near a small town in British Columbia to move to Ecuador.
"We decided we needed an adventure," says Robin.
Rob had done some research and found that Ecuador offered a low cost of living and ranked highly in terms of safety and medical care. For six weeks, they traveled the country, visiting all the likely places they might want to live.
They were spoiled for choice. Ecuador has wonderful options from the coast to the valleys…from bustling towns to charming little villages.
In each place, Robin says, "We were asking ourselves if this was the place, but never coming to an agreement. Until, that is, we got to Banos."
"As soon as we stepped off the bus, it felt like home. It's beautiful here, lush with nature. Though it is a tourist town, Banos maintains its history and culture, and still embraces its visitors."
The small picturesque village (population 15,000) sits on the flanks of Tungurahua, Ecuador's feistiest active volcano. Here, green orchid-growing forests are fed by waterfalls from above and thermal springs bubbling from below.
If you love the outdoors as Robin and her family do, there is no better place to be than Banos which sits at an elevation of about 6,000 feet in the Andes Mountains, about a three-hour drive southeast from Ecuador's capital city, Quito.
Hiking, rappelling, mountain climbing, horse riding, bungee jumping, zip lining, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, ATVing, and more. These are just a few of the exhilarating activities you can pursue in or near Banos, called the "Gateway to the Amazon," for its location on the Pastaza River, flowing into Ecuador's tropical rainforest.
After a brief trip back to Canada, the family bought a house, which Rob is now converting into a hostel. Robin went to work homeschooling the children, who are now grown. "Our daughter went back to Canada and for now, our son is still here in Ecuador."
When the family moved to Ecuador, Robin was developing her art career. "So it was a bit difficult for me to come here to start over, as my art was starting to become successful."
But, with Ecuador as her muse, creativity is her constant and welcome companion.
"When I first got here I painted over 60 paintings of wild life as illustrations for a book in Canada."
She has also written a book on art supplies and created a line of Ecuador "Color Me" products, including a coloring book, postcards, and posters, celebrating the country's wild life and culture.
"And I have a personal project where I go around and find amazing faces, create a drawing/painting of that face, find the owner of the face, give them the art and remind them how amazing they are," she explains.
"They smile and say gracias…but the truth is that I'm the one who is grateful."

The Educational Vision 2015 is derived from the faculty's Educational Vision of 2012, the revised Educational Vision of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam of 2014 and the detailed specification of that document (KnowVU) of 2015, the faculty's Mission Statement of 2014 and finally the vision of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) of 2015.
The faculty's Education Committee, the employee participation body and the faculty's Audit Committee all provided valuable comments and suggestions for this revised version, as did a number of our colleagues acting in a personal capacity. The Educational Vision was updated in 2016 based on the faculty's own multi-year plans.
4 July 2016
On behalf of the Faculty Board,
Prof. Hemme Battjes, portfolio holder for education
Education that challenges
The education we provide is linked to our research programmes and to society.
The Faculty of Law provides rigorous training in law and criminology. This training is grounded in scientific research and focuses on forging connections with society. The faculty's aim is to educate students to be dedicated and conscientious legal practitioners and academics who are aware of their potential and responsibilities, and who are capable of personal and professional growth.
The education we provide is based on the awareness that our society needs academically trained lawyers and criminologists who feel a deep sense of engagement with society. This education is encapsulated in degree programmes that have both a research orientation and a practical focus, particularly in the Academic Core of our Bachelor's programmes. This part of the curriculum encompasses research methods and academic skills, in addition to training in the philosophy of science, ethics and scientific integrity. All of this is done in accordance with the educational vision of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
The Bachelor's programmes in Law focus on training the student in the legal profession. The programmes approach the law as an object of study. In this approach, the student becomes thoroughly acquainted with the law as it is currently applied in practice, while also delving into the historical, theoretical and ethical foundations of law. A key tenet of the programmes is to impart a critical attitude regarding the structure and operation of the law, while also fostering an acute awareness of the law in action.
The Bachelor's programme in Criminology trains students to approach the concept from a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective, while also taking a legal, sociological, psychological and pedagogical approach, all with a strong emphasis on the subjects in the Academic Core.
All of the faculty's Master's programmes (including all specializations) are closely linked to the faculty's research activities, which fall under the university's overarching profiles of Governance for Society and the Connected World.
The education we provide is clearly positioned in the international scientific community while also forging links at the national and local level. It includes programmes taught in Dutch that focus on the legal profession at the national level, and English-taught Master's programmes with a decidedly international orientation. It should be noted that the Dutch-taught programmes also feature a distinctly international component and a global focus, insofar as the nature of the programme permits. Local links are reflected in a focus on Amsterdam-based businesses and organizations (including Zuidas companies and law firms), and in internships and in law clinics that provide service to the community. The education we provide is closely intertwined with society. Many of our lecturers work (or have worked) in business, the legal profession, as a judge or for a research institute. All of these different backgrounds together provide the contours for our degree programmes and inform their content.
Access to specific legal professions (e.g. lawyer, judge, notary or tax consultant) is restricted to those who have completed training that meets the requirements for admission to the legal profession or judiciary. These requirements are laid down in an agreement concluded between the various Dutch law faculties, the Council for the Judiciary and the Dutch Bar Association. The degree programmes that focus on a career in these professions have been designed to ensure that graduates exceed these requirements.
Academic citizenship
Our students are academic citizens who are involved in their degree programmes and who grow and develop through self-study and contact with lecturers and fellow students. Students also have the opportunity to grow and develop through individual learning experiences.
Both students and lecturers are responsible for ensuring good results within the timeframe prescribed for the relevant degree programme. Students and lecturers take their roles seriously, treat each other with respect and hold one another to account. All faculty degree programmes are meticulously organized and thorough. Lecturers are enthusiastic, dedicated and approachable. They encourage and inspire their students, and they focus on the further development of their teaching skills. Students are involved in their programme and the faculty, they attend classes and they participate actively in discussions and events organized by the faculty and university. They are naturally inquisitive and they display involvement in the community.
Personal contact between lecturer and student is one of the basic principles of the faculty's degree programmes, and this principle determines the teaching methods employed. Class sizes are therefore small. This is particularly applicable to the criminology programme, because it provides the best environment for acquiring research skills. In the law programmes, seminars serve to train students to argue a position in the context of legal discourse, while developing the awareness that legal actors are always part of a specific societal context. The lecturer provides feedback on an individual basis, and acts as a role model with regard to academic skills and integrity. These small groups are complemented by teaching methods such as lectures and the use of IT resources tailored to the student's personal learning style. Students develop their research skills in a number of ways, including by submitting written assignments and by giving presentations with individual feedback. Individual contact with lecturers is particularly important for new students (especially in the large Bachelor's programmes), and for international students. Lecturer-tutors therefore provide guidance to small groups of Bachelor's students. Furthermore, the mentorship programme brings first-year Bachelor's students into contact with their older peers, who ensure an introduction to the faculty and the university as a whole.
Lecturers and students (both at the Bachelor's and Master's level) also gather outside of the formal educational setting, attending lectures, debates etc. These events are organized by the lecturers and students themselves, often as part of a study association or other student organization.
Personal learning experiences
The faculty strives to ensure that all students are able to develop their talents to the best of their ability based on their own experiences and convictions. Students are trained to conduct themselves responsibly and with due respect for others. For this reason, the faculty ensures scope for personal development by organizing a range of activities as part of the degree programmes. These include internships, international exchanges and participation in law clinics. Extracurricular activities are yet another avenue for personal development. These include student assistantships, research placements, committee memberships, mentorships, moot courts, business placements and the honours programme. Students are encouraged to engage in these activities on their own initiative. The faculty facilitates them to the greatest degree possible. One method is through the Career Office, which is a place where students can connect with potential employers or find an internship. The honours programme is available for ambitious students who want to get more out of their programme than provided for in the regular curriculum.
The faculty community ensures scope for diversity, talent and internationalization.
The faculty is an open community in the sense that lecturers, researchers, students, support staff and alumni all have the scope to express their individuality. Lecturers who are also engaged in research are expected to incorporate their research experience in their teaching practice. The faculty fosters close contacts with alumni with an eye to the job market, professional practice and societal engagement.
The faculty is by no means interested in attracting only the very best and brightest students, but we do expect everyone to put their best foot forward and get the most out of themselves. A clear example of how this expectation works in practice is the recommendation on continuation of studies at the end of the initial year of the Bachelor's programme. At the same time, the faculty facilitates academic development by offering minors and in-depth teaching methods, and by encouraging students to spend a period of time studying abroad. Students can also develop their skills, expand their knowledge and gain experience by taking on an internal placement, joining the mentorship programme, becoming a member of a Programme Committee, etc., all of which enables them to get the most out of their time with us at VU Amsterdam.
The faculty also offers a number of Master's programmes taught fully in English. These programmes are popular among both international and Dutch students. The faculty facilitates internships, giving students an opportunity to get acquainted with professional practice, tailor their expectations to the reality of life outside the academic setting and measure their potential in the real world.
The faculty community is highly diverse, which promotes an open attitude, mutual respect and a true sense of societal engagement. The academic setting at our faculty encourages a thoughtful examination of questions related to globalization and diversity in society.
We actively involve our alumni in monitoring the content and quality of our degree programmes. They are also a prime source for internships and they help to prepare our students for the job market. Many alumni also avail themselves of the postgraduate programmes we offer.
The Faculty of Law welcomes motivated and enthusiastic students who are looking for a well-organized, inspiring and challenging study environment.
Educational Vision in 10 points
- Academic education in law and criminology provided by the faculty is linked to current societal themes, encapsulated in the motto: Law in Action!
- Our lecturers and students are genuinely interested in each other and feel a true sense of engagement with society.
- As we engage in scholarship, we constantly examine the potential applications and effects of scientific knowledge. We also examine the origins of this knowledge, people's opinions about science and alternative approaches to scientific endeavour.
- Our lecturers draw on their research as inspiration for their teaching practice, providing an enriching experience to their students.
- The faculty has a strong international focus while maintaining solid links at the local level, and these two aspects serve to mutually reinforce one another in a substantive sense. The global and local context are reflected in the education we provide.
- Our programmes meet all the requirements set by the professional field.
- Education is a group effort. Our students, lecturers, support staff, administrators and alumni all have their own roles to play, but they are jointly responsible for creating an inspiring learning environment.
- Personal contact between lecturer and student is a key principle in every aspect of the educational process.
- All students are entitled to customize their degree programmes, have the opportunity to prepare for their future careers, and are challenged to get the most out of themselves.
- We are immensely proud of our diverse faculty community. Diversity enhances the quality of our degree programmes and strengthens our link to society.

On this the 4th stop on The Mime Order's UK blog tour, as I've already posted a review I decided to get creative.
If you've read The Bone Season, there is absolutely no way you've not thought, if only in passing, about what kind of a voyant you may have been were you thrust head-first into its pages. My own thoughts on the matter have been fleeting, first used as a gag for a video review on my somewhat defunct (but hopefully one day revivable) youtube channel, but as the publication date of hotly anticipated book #2, I decided it was high time I considered it seriously—and photographically.
My choice was to between two obvious options (three, if there were a type of voyant whose numa were twin lens reflex cameras, or box cameras, or any cameras): firstly, bibliomancy. I work in books, I spend most of my life reading books, I design them, I devour them. It would be all too easy for books to be my numa and I thought that might be too obvious a choice to make.
Secondly, cleidomancy (which you may have guessed if you saw a certain question and answer on twitter). Though obvious to almost everyone who knows me in person, you, dear reader, may be wondering why I made this choice and rightly so.
You who read this blog probably haven't seen my wrists or the box which sits on one of the shelves in my room, waiting for a time when I have my own walls on which I can hang beautiful display frames. You would not have seen the equally beautiful leather-bound notebook I still have not dared to use for fear of ruining it. You might, if you follow one of my tumblr accounts, have noticed my obsession with a certain key-wielding series of video games. You will definitely have noticed my usernames on almost every social media platform ever and perhaps the other URL which brings you to this website.
I am obsessed with keys. I collect them, skeleton keys mostly (currently living in the aforementioned box). I love to imagine the doors they once opened and the rooms into which those doors led, and then the people who walked through those rooms; born, grown, lived, died. It makes sense, then, that if I were to commune with the spirits of the dead I would use one or more of my collection.
The key featured in these images, newly-probably-not-quite-coined bookography (expect more, I like it), is the first I ever purchased and the key that provided the shape for the tattoo on my right wrist. I remember vividly the day that I bought it, the smell of the shop (appropriately situated in Oxford), the long walk to another which sold masks after, the walk back to college and the impending A Level exam. It is my favourite.
So there you have it.
If I were a voyant, I would be a cleidomancer. A smoky-purple aura'd soothsayer, who has a penchant for top hats and deep purple–burgundy colours.
Hop along to Curiosity Killed the Bookworm tomorrow for your next stop! But before you go…
Competition time!
Enquiring minds would like to know what type of voyant you would be and why, in return I will endeavour, with the help of my camera and my partner in crime, to turn two lucky entrants into their voyant selves! Easy peasy!
How to enter
Leave a comment below with your chosen voyant type and why – do be creative! And remember to leave your name and twitter handle (or email) so that I can contact you!
What you win
A photoshoot with myself and Dress.Simple (at a time and date discussed with you by email later) in which we will transport you, using magic, into the world created by the brilliant Samantha Shannon.
Terms and conditions
- To enter you must be over 18 or have written permission of a parent or guardian (who will accompany you to the shoot should you win).
- You must be able to get to London or Oxford for the resulting photoshoot.
- You must be willing to have your image displayed online (via this website and my facebook photography page) and used by Bloomsbury* should they see fit.
- All entries need to be in by midnight (GMT) on 18th February 2015.
- Winners will be announced within a week of the closing date on this blog, twitter and facebook.
- If you do not respond within 48 hours of the initial winners announcement, another winner will be chosen.
There will be two winners, one chosen by me and the other chosen by a mystery judge, who will be announced 1st February in another Mime Order-related blog post. We will be picking our favourites so make 'em good!
If you want to buy The Mime Order it is available on the Bloomsbury website, Waterstones, Amazon and all good retailers! Happy reading!
*Please note: this competition is not run by nor affiliated with Bloomsbury beyond being a stop on the blog tour, and will only run if more than 5 entries are received

SCIENCE BASED NUTRITION with MEDICALLY ADVISED STRATEGY
At Encore we teach PROTEIN PACING AND INTERMITTENT FASTING– backed by the finest technology in measurement. The Skidmore College Study and PEER REVIEWED science articles show weight loss WITHOUT FITNESS. If you choose fitness then the process is faster.
What is Protein Pacing ?
"Protein pacing," Dr. Arciero defines, "is the scientifically proven combination of eating healthy, lean, protein foods at the right time of day to maximize health and performance."
Here are the basics on how to make it work for you: Consume 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per kilogram daily. Note that a recent study showed that athletes who consumed 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram daily, mainly from UNDENATURED WHEY protein-rich shakes and bars, showed significantly greater improvements to athletic performance compared to those who consumed 1.0 gram of protein per kilogram daily.
Spread protein over four to six meals per day.
Pounds = Kilograms divided by 2.2
Required protein 1.5-2.0g/kg
John weighs 220 pounds what is his Protein goal intake daily?
220 ÷2.2 = 100kg
100kg x 1.5/kg = 150 Protein
Example Day Protein Intake:
Breakfast 35g
Snack 10g
Lunch 35g
Snack 15g
Dinner 20g
Snack 18g
Total 123 g protein
What is Intermittent Fasting?
Definition: A process of giving your digestion a break but still metabolizing to maintain your daily and normal blood sugar levels. Burn fat and balance your system for maximum nutrition intake. You will love a high-energy day.
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a term for an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It does not say anything about which foods you should eat, but rather when you should eat them. In this respect, it is not a "diet" in the conventional sense. It is more accurately described as an "eating pattern."
Common intermittent fasting methods involve daily 16 hour fasts, or fasting for 24 hours, twice per week. Humans have actually been fasting throughout evolution. If anything, fasting from time to time is more "natural" than constantly eating 3-4 (or more) meals per day.
JANUARY 2018 PHOENIX with Dr. Arciero
But what about those die-hard gym rats, fitness buffs, and professional athletes that have spent years training? There are fewer diet and workout programs that will yield visible results for higher-level athletes and the truly fit.
According to a new study from Skidmore College, there is a diet and exercise regimen that can work for even the fittest: the PRISE regimen. PRISE stands for protein pacing, resistance, interval, stretching, and endurance. These five elements could be the key to helping the truly fit get even fitter.
Protein pacing means eating moderate quantities of protein at regular intervals throughout the day. The regular protein intake will encourage better muscular development and ensure the muscles have all the ATP energy required for muscle-building and post-workout repair.
The multi-dimensional approach to working out—incorporating resistance training, interval training, stretching, and endurance training—will lead to better overall fitness. Not just more strength, but better muscular and cardiovascular endurance as well as increased joint mobility and flexibility.
To prove the PRISE regimen works, researchers at Skidmore College gathered 20 very fit men and 30 very fit women. All were between the ages of 30 and 65, regular exercisers (four days per week, 45 minutes per session), with experience in aerobic and resistance training with good body fat (26%). For 12 weeks, all 50 of the participants performed the same workouts. Half consumed a normal-protein diet with workout supplements, while the other half ate more protein at intervals throughout the day along with supplements rich in antioxidants.
After 12 weeks, all 50 participants had shown improvement in nearly every measure of fitness and health. However, those who followed the higher-protein and antioxidant diet showed the most visible improvements. Their strength, endurance, flexibility, core strength, and cardiovascular health increased significantly over the group who followed a normal-protein diet.
This study is just the latest to support the theory that protein pacing (eating moderate quantities of protein throughout the day, not just at meal times) is an efficient way to improve fitness: decreasing fat (total, visceral, and abdominal), increasing lean muscle mass, and decreasing blood cholesterol, insulin, and glucose.

we grew these.
i am proud:)
there are three more still on the vine.
...tonight i was making pizza and bread sticks.
and decided that anything will taste good if you slather it in butter and garlic salt.
you can't go wrong.
my sunflowers turned yellow at the top this week.
and the birds are all fat from eating the seeds.
so i persuaded sean to cut down the beanstalks.
and that turned into our trip to the pumpkin patch.
which was a LONG walk to the back fence;)
pumpkins and sunflowers are my favorite things to grow.
absolutely no maintenance.
and beautiful harvests in the fall.
and let me tell you.
these pumpkins are perfect.
could not have picked more beautiful pumpkins at a regular patch.
but at the gibson patch,
we grow big, orange, juicy, fat pumpkins.

By STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series, 3/25/2013
Michigan State Welcomes the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Series
Pro and Collegiate Lumberjacks Compete for National Championship Spots, Scholarship Monies and Bragging Rights at STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series Midwest Qualifiers
Winners of the Professional and Collegiate Series competitions will advance to the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series U.S. Championships hosted by The Great Smoky Mountain Lumberjack Feud in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., June 7-9.
"We're excited to bring the 10th anniversary season of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Collegiate Series to Michigan State," said Brad Sorgen, producer of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series. "We look forward to a great competition among the region's top collegiate and pro lumberjack athletes."
ESPNU, Outdoor Channel and TUFF TV cameras will be on site to capture the competition. These networks provide a national platform to not only highlight the competition, but also spotlight the hosting schools and their forestry programs in the Professional and Collegiate Series competition shows. The airing schedule for the Midwest Qualifier on Outdoor Channel appears below. ESPNU air dates and times for the 2013 season will be announced at a later date.
"We are thrilled to host the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series Midwest Qualifier as part of the annual Midwestern Foresters' Conclave," said Richard Kobe, professor and chair of the Michigan State University (MSU) Department of Forestry. "This event is a great opportunity to showcase our students, forestry program and university and we have worked very hard to ensure the event will be a huge success."
In the Collegiate Series, the participating universities select their best lumberjacks or jills to chop and saw in four disciplines including the single buck, standing block chop, stock saw and underhand chop, using professional-sized wood and rules. After competing in each of the disciplines, the competitor with the most cumulative points will earn a $1,000 scholarship from STIHL for his or her school and advances to the 2013 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Collegiate Championship. In 2013, 12 schools will participate in the Midwest Qualifier including Iowa State, Ohio State and Purdue.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Collegiate Series. Multiple former collegiate competitors will return to the Series this year among the pro ranks including Adam LaSalle, the 2009 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Collegiate Champion.
Following the collegiate competition, the excitement kicks up a notch when eight of the region's top professional lumberjacks face-off across six disciplines, the hot saw, single buck, springboard chop, standing block chop, stock saw and underhand chop in the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Professional Series Midwest Qualifier. The top four competitors will advance to the U.S. Championship.
For the first time this year, fans will have the opportunity to join the wood-chopping action on Facebook with Fantasy Lumberjack. Prizes include STIHL chainsaws and a trip for two to the World Championship in Germany. To play the ultimate fantasy sports game, visit facebook.com/STIHLTIMBERSPORTS.

Here are 5 things on my mind today....
1. Grit and Grind...So proud of the Grindfather and the Memphis Grizz on their path to the championship! JK has watched the Grizz for as long as I can remember, and it's so fun for one of his teams to actually be competitive for a championship!
2. H&M has set a Nashville date.....June 6th! Mark your calendar for this new Opry Mills hot spot!
3. A few of my fellow new members of the Nashville Junior League are starting a Girls Bunko Group! I can't wait for this monthly event to kick off in June, and I'm pumped that we are all going to keep in contact once our provisional year is over.
4. I got my Junior League volunteer placement, Renewal House. Stay tuned on this topic. I can't wait to share more about my specific involvement with this incredible non profit.
5. My weekend will be spent packing and moving, before I forget, thanks mom, dad, and JK for all of your help!
Happy Weekend!

The Chinese manufacturer ZTE working on a new smartphone, the ZTE Multy Axon, which would have the distinction of integrating two screens in a foldable format. Running on a Snapdragon 820 with 4GBs of RAM, 32GBs of internal storage, and a 3,120mAh battery
The Sony Tablet P proposed two fold-out screens
After the double camera and screens borderless , what will be the next trend in the smartphone market? ZTE seems to think it is the use of a second screen unfolded transform the tablet smartphone. In any case it advanced by Evan Blass in an article revealing information on the new Chinese product.
This is not the first manufacturer to be interested in it. Several products are already out with such features. We think, for example the Sony Tablet P launched in 2012 Android 3.2 Honeycomb, or of course the Nintendo DS that really popularized the principle of double screen.
A high-end smartphone in 2016
The display technologies have evolved since 2012 and ZTE seems ready to update the concept with the ZTE Axon Multy. This is a smartphone equipped with two Full HD screens, the first at the front and the second on the back of the unit. The goal is to use the same folded smartphone, but can transform the demand for 6.8-inch tablet with a resolution of 1920 x 2160 pixels. Please note that with such a display ratio, the screen diagonal can be misleading. This is a screen of 11.5 by 12.9 cm.
The Kyocera Echo , launched in 2011 with two screens
The rest of the specs are less impressive and it seems that the product has had a complicated pregnancy. It incorporates an SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, which powered the flagship in 2016, 4 GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The battery is 3120 mAh of which may be a bit weak to power two screens.
An October release in the US
The ZTE Axon Multy would be exclusive to the US operator AT & T would have expected to market in mid-October for $ 650. Impossible to know for now if an international version of the phone is scheduled.

Neste creates value
Neste creates value for society by helping its customers reduce climate emissions through developing sustainably produced lower-emissoin solutions for transportation, aviation, and marine uses, as well as renewable and circular solutions for the chemical and plastics industries.
Neste's value creation is based on its high-quality products, global business model for raw material sourcing and product sales, in-depth knowledge of regulations and global customer requirements for both fossil and renewable products, as well as continuous innovation and development of products and solutions. Non-financial assets, e.g. production, sales, and sourcing expertise are also an essential part of Neste's value creation.
Neste's value creation map
Value creation assessment
The company's impacts related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters can be both positive and negative, and their magnitude varies across business areas, countries, and based on the products in question. It is crucial for Neste to understand how it creates value in society regarding these aspects. The importance of evaluating the company's value chain is increasingly emphasized and called for by stakeholders, especially investors.
Understanding how we create value for shareholders and the society at large enables us to evaluate our role in the society, identify and manage risks, as well as help us recognize long-term business opportunities. In addition, understanding the views and expectations of our stakeholders plays a crucial role in the success of our company and the acceptability of our operations. This is why we conduct a materiality assessment every two years.
Through evaluating how Neste creates value, we are able to embed sustainability even further in our everyday business and create tools for decision-making and sustainability management. By developing a value creation framework we are able to better understand and visualize how sustainability is incorporated into value creation and which capitals are needed for successful business. In addition, concretizing value creation helps Neste assess the relevance of different impacts in the short and longer term and integrate them into business decisions. Due to the advantages listed above, the value creation map will be utilized in Neste's strategy work and sustainability management, e.g. in target setting.
Internal experts from different segments were engaged in evaluating how Neste creates value with regards to different ESG aspects, and approved by Neste Executive Committee. The value creation map follows the integrated reporting guidelines.
