The announcement is not particularly surprising -- Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg mentioned the company's plans onstage earlier this year. The move is part of the company's plan to become a mobile app powerhouse. Zuckerberg has made building out a big portfolio of mobile apps a clear a goal for the company with major acquisitions of companies such as WhatsApp and Instagram.
The Messenger shift may be the first sign of cross-pollination with WhatsApp, which Facebook bought for $19 billion in February and whose customers are mostly international. In this way, Facebook could bring features from Facebook Messenger, such as the ability to use the app to contact people who don't have Facebook accounts, to a potentially broader audience.
The update, which will be rolled out to all Facebook users, is already available for some users in Europe, TechCrunch reported.
The change will likely irk some users by essentially forcing them to download yet another app, but there are some exceptions. TechCrunch reports that those with low-end Android phones that can't run Messenger won't see this update and that messages will stay a part of the company's recently launched Paper app. A statement to Mashable from the company confirmed that iPad users won't be seeing the change, either. The Verge also reports that Windows Phone and tablet users will also be able to keep their messages inside the main app. Users will be able to switch between the main Facebook app and the messaging app via links in both programs, though it will add a split second or two to the normal routine.
Facebook could not immediately be reached for comment on the specifics of the rollout.
In comments to Mashable, Facebook said that the company has seen strong growth for its standalone Messenger app since launching the third version a few months ago. The upside of pushing all messaging functions into their own dedicated app is that power users won't have to dig into the second tier of the main app to access their inboxes. It also means that Facebook's main app may run a little leaner -- an important point, since the app was recently identified by the Guardian as a possible cause of iPhone battery drain.
But for the average Facebook user and the average mobile user, the pain of being forced to download another app for a core feature of Facebook -- and having to add even a few more moments to a Facebook conversation -- may not sit well.

Capital Gains Tax And Shares
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) can get a little complex at times, but with a little planning it is possible to avoid paying it a lot of the time.
Let's start with exemptions. That is, situations and types of security that are not liable to CGT. Here is a list of some common areas:
- Government securities e.g. gilts
- Qualifying corporate bonds – broadly, interest-based corporate loan stocks, excluding convertibles
- Venture capital trusts – subject to conditions
- Enterprise investment schemes – subject to conditions
- Gifts to charity
- ISAs
- Transfers between spouses
Apart from these, the disposal of shares and other securities will in general give rise to a potential capital gains tax liability, or an allowable loss. A disposal does not necessarily mean a market sale. Gifting the shares in general to any person other than a spouse is deemed to be a disposal at market value, whatever the amount of money changing hands.
Every person, including minors, is exempt from CGT on the first slice of their net gains in any tax year – up to a figure called the 'personal exemption'. For the 2016/17 tax year it was £11,100, and for 2017/18 it is £11,300.
Net gains means profits minus losses made in that tax year, after deducting all other reliefs that may be available (such as losses brought forward from previous years). Following on from that, net losses in a year can be carried forward indefinitely and will be set against gains as they arise in future. The personal exemption is given for each tax year alone, and cannot be carried forward.
Disposals of shares where new securities are received in exchange for the shares are not treated as disposals for CGT purposes. This happens often in takeovers and company reorganisations. In such a case you are deemed to hold the new paper at the original cost of the old paper. No CGT disposal occurs until you sell the new shares for cash. If all cash is received in the deal, though, this is like any other sale for CGT purposes. If, as sometimes happens, it is a mixed cash and paper deal then there may be a partial CGT disposal or, if the cash element is small, then it is not treated as a sale but as a reduction of cost.
Capital Gains Tax rates
The capital gains tax rate depends on what income tax bracket you fall into:
- For 2016/17 and 2017/18 the rate for quoted shares is 10% for basic-rate taxpayers and 20% for higher-rate taxpayers.
Be aware that if you are a basic-rate taxpayer and you make a gain that is large enough to put into a higher-rate band, then you'll pay the higher rate (i.e. 20% for 2016/17 or 2017/18) on this part of the gain.

I purchased the white 10x12 SEF coil for my White's V3i metal detector last fall and thought about how it would perform relic hunting in Virginia. I had to wait all winter and virtually all of spring because of rain. When I finally saw four days of sunshine on the weather forecast for Remington I headed on down. I was hunting my uncle's property once again and bullets are getting scarce (or so I thought).
Some of his spruce trees had been trimmed high enough that you could now walk under them. This was an area that I could not detect since the 1970's. I found a total of 21 bullets under the trees. Most of them were .50 caliber Smith carbine (rubber cartridge type) sprinkled in with a few .52 caliber Sharps. Most of the bullets were in the 10" range and easily picked up with the SEF coil.
Further out away from the trees I found a few .44 caliber Colt revolver bullets. Two of them have the same rifling marks when held in alignment. Also recovered were two .58 caliber three ringer about a foot apart that looked like they had both been fired into the ground.
The far end of the property is known for it's deep bullets. They sit on top of the clay about 12" to 14" down. I walked on down to the area to see if the SEF could find any of these deep bullets. I was running All Metal around 80 and the Gain at 5. Yes 5 because of EMI in the area. The first good hit was a .69 caliber round ball. I had my TRX handheld with me which has a ruler on the side that goes to 12 inches. The bullet measured 13" deep. I hunted all around this find and picked up 4 more .69 caliber round balls all being 13" deep. The round ball does not have a very large footprint as they are just over 1/2" wide (.64 inches). This just proves that one does not have to jack up the Gain setting for depth. Besides, too much Gain in an area with EMI will cause very erratic unstable detector conditions. Some of the times I hunted down to a Gain setting of 2 with no loss of depth. I also noticed that with a higher Gain setting you had to pump the detector more to ground balance it. The highest Gain setting I ran on this trip was 7.
One unique find is a .58 caliber rifled musket three ringer (second row, first picture on left). It has been fired with the ramrod/ramrod with attachment in the barrel. The hole in the top of the bullet is 1/2" deep and 1/8" diameter with no threads or rust. It has been fired as the rings are compressed. The impact created a "dome" effect on the star. This is truly a one of a kind bullet and the "star" cavity denoting the Washington Arsenal in this condition makes it a very rare bullet.
UPDATE: The "ramrod bullet" made American Digger magazine Nov.-Dec. 2014 Vol.10 Issue 6 in the Just Dug Here's what our readers are finding...category. In it noted bullet authority Jim Thomas says, "Whenever you see...that thin belt of "flashing" around the bullet, I believe it was fired with the ramrod. It is quite a different feature than a bullet that was simply rammed really hard." Read the magazine article.
Total civil war bullets found this trip: 69.
11 .50 Smith (rubber cartridge type), 3 .50 Smith (paper cartridge type aka Gallager), 5 .69 caliber round balls, 2 .44 caliber round balls, 4 .54 caliber Merrill's carbine, 14 .52 caliber Sharps, 1 .54 caliber Burnside with dish cavity, 4 .44 caliber Colt revolver, 1 .58 caliber William's Cleaner (pulled), 3 .54 caliber rifled musket, 20 .58 caliber rifled musket, and 1 .58 caliber Gardner with dot in cavity (Confederate).

Do you send emails to your clients? It's a wonderful way to keep in touch with them in between visits. If you read last week's secret, then you understand real wealth comes with keeping your clients long term.
Here's how to make your emails more powerful, persuasive and profitable. Skeptical?
You won't be once you know the system. There are several steps to this strategy. This week we'll explore the subject line.
Why you need a powerful subject line:
The subject line is critical because it will get your email opened, deleted or ignored. People scan for emails they want to delete. It's a lot like standing over the trashcan when the mail comes in a throwing out the junk.
Nowadays, a lot of folks check their emails with their phone. Once touch and poof - you're gone!
That's why your subject line must catch their attention. Think of your subject line as your headline - the "ad for your ad". The headline's job is to lead people to read on. Likewise, the subject line has one purpose, and one purpose only – to get the recipient to open the email.
Train yourself to be fast about coming up with headlines. You are busy with your salon, and don't have time to spend hours composing emails. A huge secret is to see what established marketers are using for headlines, and adapt the pattern for your own audience.
Vary the style of your subject lines.
Should you always use their name? Personalization such as "Firstname, yada yada" can be powerful, but it's not as effective anymore. A number of years ago it worked, but now people have become wise to it. However, including the city name does help improve getting your email opened and read.
Here are some subject line templates you can adapt for your use: "This ________ tip is almost too easy."
Easy catches our eye, and it works with the word "tip." Fill in the blank with what you are selling, such as, "This hairstyling tip......"
"The fastest way to__________"
We live in a fast world. How about, "The fastest way to have a good hair day." Specifics add impact: The fastest way to get 5 compliments a day." But don't make outlandish claims, unless you're being humorous.
"Who else wants to __________?"
"Who else" gives the sense that others are already enjoying the benefits? Also, asking a question can improve your open rate.
These same headline strategies work for postcards and print ads. There's real psychology behind creating headlines that gets your emails opened. Keep the message in your subject line straightforward, not salesy or promotional. Avoid using all CAPS and exclamation marks.
When thinking up subject lines, put yourself in your client's shoes. Busy people get too many emails that are just spam. Vague teasers, constant reminders, and overselling won't cut through the clutterbox. When you write your subject line, give timely and useful information they need to know now.
Don't sell what's inside. Tell what's inside.
A note about the "From" line – Keep this consistent. Use your name or salon name. Next week we'll focus on five major tactics to write your body copy faster and get a better response.

State BOE takes a stand against pending Common Core bill
By Sarah Plummer, Register-Herald Reporter
The State Board of Education passed a resolution Wednesday in opposition to the Common Core Bill, which, according to the resolution, "disrupts the accountability system" in West Virginia Schools.
The resolution states, House Bill 4014, "reflects the worst of the legislative process" and asks the Legislature to reject the bill. If they will not, the resolution urges Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin use his powers of veto.
Sen. Bob Plymale, D-Wayne, made a motion Wednesday to have the bill moved to third reading with right to amend. The bill will be voted on today.
The resolution states the bill attempts to usurp the State Board of Education's authority to establish academic standards and assessments.
Moreover, the bill forces the board to use one specific vendor — ACT Aspire and ACT college entrance exam.
Although House Bill 4014 doesn't specifically mention the vendor, its sister, bill Senate Bill 676, did.
The resolution notes that two ACT lobbyists were involved in the consideration of the bill.
A recent review by the Fordham Foundation at the request of State Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano showed the Smarter Balanced assessment is most closely aligned with West Virginia's standards and ACT Aspire is least aligned.
"Never in the history of public education in West Virginia has the legislature attempted to become so inappropriately involved in the process of selecting the standards and assessments that are the very basis of our education and accountability system," concludes the resolution.
The State Board passed the resolution 7-1, with Thomas Campbell voting in opposition and newly appointed member F. Scott Rotruck not in attendance.
Campbell spoke out against the resolution and in favor of the Legislation.
He said the resolution creates divisiveness and legislators are within their power to pass such a bill.
Campbell said bill already represents a compromise and passing a resolution "sets up battle grounds."
"I am voting no. I am voting hell no," he said. "Our game plan in the West Virginia education system has been to consolidate, regulate and intimidate to force our teachers and students to perform at a uniform high level. We are near the top of the 50 states in cost per student, consolidation of schools, 1,000 pages of legislative code and 4,000 pages of board policy."
Responding to Campbell, Lloyd Jackson noted that he does not see the resolution as challenging the constitutional authority of the Legislature.
"This is about standing up for what is right," he said.
Member Gayle Manchin said she supports taking a stand.
"If we don't send a message to the Legislature for the children of West Virginia, shame on us," she said.
Beverly Kingery also spoke emphatically in favor of the resolution.
"Right now the teachers and students are fed up. They feel like they are jerked around year after year. It is time, as educators in this state, we stand up for teachers and students. Everybody is paying lip service to that, but no one seems to want to do it," she said.
Board President Mike Green stressed that the state's current standards were reviewed last year and vetted.
Gazette-Mail Reporter Ryan Quinn expressed opposition to the board considering the resolution, which was added to the agenda only Wednesday morning as an emergency item.
He expressed concern that a resolution in opposition to Legislation not yet passed does not constitute an emergency under the Open Meetings Act.

Product Level Routing
Table of Contents
Adding the Product Catalog
Uploading the Product SKUs to the ShipWorks Hub
Things to Know
What's Next?
You have the option to route orders by product SKUs that you associate to a warehouse. By importing a product catalog into the ShipWorks software and uploading the products to the ShipWorks Hub, ShipWorks can automatically route orders to the correct warehouse based upon the items on the order.
! Quick tip: ShipWorks routes orders by product SKUs associated to a warehouse.
Adding the Product Catalog
The first step is to add the product catalog to the ShipWorks software. (This needs to be done at each warehouse location.)
The easiest way to add all of the products into the ShipWorks Product Catalog for a warehouse location is to import a complete product file specific to the warehouse location into ShipWorks.
If you are unfamiliar with this process, please see the Importing Products From a File article.
For more detailed information on the ShipWorks Product Catalog, please see the Getting to Know the Product Catalog user guide.
Uploading the Product SKUs to the ShipWorks Hub
Once the product catalog has been added to the ShipWorks software at each warehouse, the product SKUs need to be uploaded to the ShipWorks Hub.
Here's how: (these steps must be completed at each warehouse location for which product SKUs will be used for routing orders)
- Click on the Application Menu and select Settings.
- Select Warehouse.
- Click on the Upload SKUs button in the SKUs section.
- Once the SKUs have been successfully uploaded, click on the OK button.
Once uploaded, the SKUs are associated to the linked warehouse. In the above screenshot, the SKUs are associated to Warehouse1.
Things to Know
The product SKUs can be uploaded multiple times.
Since products can be edited, deleted and added, you can upload the product SKUs as many times as necessary.
You can view how many product changes were made since the last upload.
ShipWorks displays the number of products that have been changed since the last time the SKUs were uploaded. This can be viewed just to the left of the Upload SKUs button.
Associated product SKUs cannot be viewed in the ShipWorks Hub.
The ShipWorks Hub does not list the SKUs associated to a warehouse. To view the SKUs, you would view the ShipWorks Product Catalog in the ShipWorks software.
What happens when I have enabled Product Level Routing, but also have ChannelAdvisor routing rules enabled?
In the event that product SKUs have been uploaded and ChannelAdvisor routing rules are enabled, orders are routed using the following logic:
- Orders are routed by ChannelAdvisor routing rules. If no rule applies to an order…
- The order is routed by product level routing. If the order does not have associated SKUs…
- The order is routed by the default USPS Zone logic.
Learn more about order routing logic here.

Joy Hart, MSW, LCSW-C
My name is Joy Hart, MSW, LCSW-C and I am the founder of DJLS Therapy Services LLC. I would like to tell you a bit about myself and establish a connection with you. I always knew from a young child that I wanted to work with people. Because of my life experiences from childhood I was taught at a young age about helping others, empathy, and problem solving. By my unique upbringing I could not picture myself in any other field of work then one that helped others. After high school, I decided to pursue my interest in the helping field. In 1998, I obtained a bachelor's of science degree in Family and Child Development, option Human Services from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In 2002, I obtained a Master's of social work from Howard University. After I obtained my master's degree I spent the majority of my career working as a social worker in Montgomery County, MD. Here, I realized that there were many people who needed help in the community. I decided to open a private practice in Bowie, MD to continue the helping process and founded DJLS Therapy Services LLC July of 2014.
Over the past 3 years I have noticed a high demand for psychotherapy services in the Bowie area. I responded to the needs of the community by expanding my practice. I recently brought on additional providers to join my group to ensure that DJLS Therapy Services LLC continues to serve those in need. We are a one stop shop for all your therapeutic needs. We will always put your needs first. We provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. DJLS Therapy Services LLC strives to maintain available appointments for our clients and therefore we provide services 7 days a week including weekends and evenings. DJLS Therapy Services LLC is verified by Psychology Today, The National Registry of Marriage Friendly Therapist, and GoodTherapy.org.

LOS ANGELES — There are certain things that every good geek knows to be true, like the fact that Spider-Man's secret identity is Peter Parker, or that the "Spider-Man" movies have pulled in more dough than an army of overworked pizza makers, or that "Spider-Man 3" recently completed filming and is due to swing into theaters next summer.
Uh ... strike that last one.
"The next thing I'm shooting?" series star James Franco said over the weekend. "Re-shoots on
Revealing that director Sam Raimi has put out the call for "more action," Franco said he's being called back to the set of the blockbuster. "Probably next month," he added.
Members of the flick's cast, including Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, along with franchise newcomers Thomas Haden Church (as beach-bashing baddie the Sandman), Topher Grace (as alien threat Venom) and Bryce Dallas Howard (as Parker paramour Gwen Stacy), recently arrived triumphant at San Diego's Comic-Con to screen footage for fans (see " 'Spider-Man 3' Cast Confirms Love Triangle, Death, Soul-Sucking Costume"). Franco said he regretted being unable to make the trip along with his co-stars, and seemed shocked by much of what was revealed there.
Despite the widely downloaded teaser trailer that shows a black-and-green-suited Franco riding a glider (see it for yourself right here), and Raimi's own admission that Franco's Harry Osbourn will be "somewhere between" the comic book characters of Green Goblin and Hobgoblin, the tight-lipped actor refused to admit that Harry's long-simmering angst turns him into a villain. "You saw me in a suit?" Franco asked, feigning incredulity. "I don't think that was me."
Franco also seemed surprised by Raimi's assertions that Harry's story line will conclude with the third film (the actor's contract expires after "Spider-Man 3"). "It's really news to me. It's actually breaking my heart to hear that my character is being rounded up in this movie," the 28-year-old Franco said, half-kidding. "God, I think I'm going to cry."
|Looking for the newest, hottest trailers?
Check out the trailer premiere for Scorsese's "The Departed," "School for Scoundrels," "Borat" and more, on Overdrive.
Revealing that he expects a new trailer to be on the way soon, Franco said the new flick will offer fans plenty of action, as well as an opportunity to see the young thespians stretch out their acting muscles. "It's not that there's less acting in [a 'Spider-Man'] movie. I mean, it has the same number of acting scenes as any other movie," Franco said. "It's just that the action takes so much longer, so it feels like it's all action. Really, in a way, it's two months worth of regular scenes, which is what a typical movie has, and then we had to do four months of action."
Now, like a superhero's tights after an all-you-can-eat buffet, it seems that Sam Raimi is going to stretch those four months into just a little more.
See everything we've got on "Spider-Man 3."

New Gods: The Glory Boat
Another piece from my collection of original art. This time out were looking at the splash page—literally!—of New Gods #6 by Jack Kirby.
Kirby's departure from Marvel in 1970 was a seismic event in comics history. In many ways it marked the end of the Silver Age and the beginning of the bold new era of the Bronze Age. While DC was keen for him to take the helm of Superman, Kirby took the opportunity to introduce new ideas and concepts with his Fourth World magnum opus. For good measure he took over writing and drawing the weakest selling Superman title, Jimmy Olsen, using it to expand his concepts.
The core book of the Fourth World saga is New Gods and after about a year Kirby really hit his stride with a trio of brilliant comics in issues 6, 7, and 8—surely three of the best comics ever done. "The Glory Boat!!" is the culmination of a story begun in the previous issue and provides a rip-roaring ride of excitement and spectacle on the high seas as Orion and his fellow New God Lightray take on the Deep Six and prove that being a pacifist doesn't mean the same as being a coward.
The splash page is an unusual, though classic, point-of-view composition that drags the reader right into the heart of the story. Flip the page and you're confronted with one of Kirby's trademark double-page spreads as the mutant sea creature smashes through the ship. I'm not going to pretend this opening page is the best page Kirby ever did, or that's it's even a particularly great example of his work, but it's my piece of the King's greatest work and I'm pleased to own it.
Inks by the incomparable Mike Royer. Click on the images for a better look.
Here's the cover to New Gods #6 (January 1972). Great value then with a full-length New Gods story up front and a classic Simon & Kirby Manhunter tale at the back. All for just 25c!
During the early 1980s Kirby returned to DC after being given the chance to finish up his saga. In anticipation of what ultimately became The Hunger Dogs graphic novel, DC reprinted all 11 issues of New Gods in a fancy six-issue series printed on baxter stock. For this Kirby produced six brand new wraparound covers. Here's the one he did for issue #3, the one that reprints "The Glory Boat!!" (click for a better look):

Dem leader compares Ryan to Goebbels. Klassy with a capital KKK.
Some of you may remember the New Civility the Dems called for after blaming some obscure graphic on a Palin mailing for inspiring an apolitical nutjob to shoot a congresswoman. Apparently, Nancy Pelosi has decided that's yesterday's news. So it's back to the transformation of our political discourse into one massive USENET chat group. Because the Dems are enlightened and high-toned. Like this guy:
If you are having trouble reading that, it's "Exterminate Christians one bullet at a time".
If you are a Progressive who thinks Obama and his cronies care about civility, I have one word to share with you: sucker.

Binge eating disorder (BED) affects 1.5 percent to 2 percent of the general population. BED is characterized by frequent and persistent episodes of overeating, or bingeing where the patient looses the ability to control how much food he or she eats. Bingeing episodes are usually accompanied by feelings of loss of control, distress and guilt.
CBT has been the standard therapy for treating BED and focuses on changing unwanted behaviors and the thoughts that are associated with them. CBT requires that the patient complete a considerable amount of homework, such as practicing behavior changing techniques and writing assignments. IPT is a brief, structured psychotherapy that explores social and interpersonal problems.
Denise E. Wilfley, Ph.D., of San Diego State University and University of California, San Diego, and colleagues studied the effectiveness of CBT and IPT in 162 patients with binge-eating disorder. These patients were randomly assigned to receive either 20 weeks of group CBT or 20 weeks of group IBT. Patients were followed up after treatment ended, and at 4 month intervals for the next 12 months.
Binge-eating recovery rates were equivalent for participants in CBT and IBT with 64 of 81 patients (79 percent) experiencing a recovery in the CBT group and 59 of 81 patients (73 percent) in the IBT group. At one-year follow up, recovery was at 59 percent for the CBT group, and 62 percent for the IBT group. Binge eating increased slightly through follow up, but remained significantly below pre-treatment levels, the authors write.
"Dietary restraint decreased more quickly in CBT but IPT had equivalent levels by later follow ups. Patients' relative weight decreased significantly but only slightly, with the greatest reduction among patients sustaining recovery from binge eating from post treatment to 1-year follow up," write the researchers.
The authors conclude that "Group IPT is a viable alternative to group CBT for the treatment of overweight patients with BED."

Browser does not support script.
This page provides both general support information and specific pages for new arrivals for each of our programmes.
Please note that Welcome information relating to offer holders for 2020/21entry is not yet available.
BSc Mathematics and Economics
BSc Mathematics with Economics
BSc Financial Mathematics and Statistics
MSc Applicable Mathematics
MSc Financial Mathematics
MSc Operations Research & Analytics
This information is for those of you who have been allocated to the Department of Mathematics for your stay here during the academic year 2020-21.
We have arranged a Welcome Brunch for you on XX. This will be an opportunity to meet each other, the General Course Tutor (see below) and the Head of Department, Professor Jan van den Heuvel. Appointments will be made for you to see the General Course Tutor individually, to help you select your course choices etc. and discuss any other issues you may have after this event.
During the year, your General Course Tutor will be XX who will be your General Course contact within the Department.
Each student is assigned an academic member of the Department as an Academic Mentor. You can consult them with academic queries. You can also consult the administrative Programme Manager for your programme.
Our undergraduate students have a Departmental Tutor and our graduate degrees have a Programme Director. They monitor your progress, alongside your Academic Mentor.
The LSE Eden Centre offers a range of events, services, and resources broadly centred around study skills. It covers such topics as how to study, how to revise, and how to approach exam papers. One-to-one support is also available.
The LSE Language Centre offers English support classes throughout the year, in both speaking/listening and writing. They are tailored to academic studies and to particular disciplines, such as mathematical subjects.
The Disability and Wellbeing Service can assist you in studying effectively and maximising your potential, regardless of your circumstances.
The Student Counselling Service can help with personal or emotional problems, whether or not they are related to your studies.
This is just a partial list of available support. More information about general (including personal) support and academic support is available on the School website.
We will share some preparatory reading lists and study advice with offer holders in August.
Books that are central to individual courses will be listed in the relevant course guide. Note that course guides are updated in August.
We recommend that you do not buy books for your courses in advance.
Firstly, it is because many courses will not require books, and multiple copies of important books will be available in the LSE Library. Secondly, courses are not finalised until close to the start of the year, and you may end up buying expensive books that go unused. Thirdly (for international students), used copies of the relevant books are typically cheapest in the UK.
On campus, Waterstones should have a copy of all books on LSE courses, including a large number of (cheaper) used books. Another campus option is Alpha Books. Online, Amazon and AbeBooks are good places to start.
Please see information on the School's website about visiting LSE.
Please see information on the School's website about money matters.
First year undergraduates and General Course students are guaranteed an offer of accommodation.
A large number of master's students also choose to live in LSE accommodation.
Priority is given to student with disabilities and special requirements.
There are many other options beyond LSE and University of London residences. They include a rapidly increasing number of privately operated halls of residence. Additionally, there are many options for privately rented accommodation, whether by yourself, with friends, or through collectives in a shared house or apartment.
London accommodation prices are high compared to many cities, but this does not mean cheaper options are not available.
Spending a little more time travelling to the School can mean a significantly cheaper rent, for example. We suggest that you look at travel times from different areas, rather than just distance. The School is in a very good location in regard to public transport, close to stations with several Tube lines and a large number of bus routes. Google Maps is very helpful for this, because you can choose door-to-door public transport or walking routes.
Our advice is not to worry about accommodation, even if you receive an offer quite late in the cycle. London has always been home to a huge number of students and this means that would-be providers are aware of your needs (shorter contracts, for example).
For more information, consult LSE Accommodation.
The range of things you can do at any time in central London is second to none. Yes, you are here to study, but London will be a huge and very positive part of your experience. The LSE campus is located at the heart of all this.
There are more than 150 student societies at the LSE, spanning a very wide range of interests, from politiccs and the arts to academia and charitable causes.
The LSE Students' Union organises a range of events for all students, from young undergraduates to more mature students.
The School puts on a series of world class public lectures and events every year. Recent speakers include Aung San Suu Kyi, David Cameron, Noam Chomsky, the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, Bill Gates, Daniel Kahneman, Paul Krugman, Christine Lagarde, Thomas Piketty, and George Soros.
Student Central is open to all London students and provides even more recreational opportunities. It is located a few minutes away, in Bloomsbury.
The theatres, museums, and galleries are some of the best in the world, and they are greater in number than anywhere else. The West End is on our doorstep, the British Museum is up the road, and the Southbank Centre is just across Waterloo Bridge.
To find out out about what's on, we recommend Time Out and the London Evening Standard. Hard copies of both are distributed across London.
There are countless clubs, bars, and pubs, including three on campus. The world famous superclub Fabric is a short walk away, as are the legendary clubs and bars of Soho.
London caters for all tastes, with its huge range of restaurants and cafés. Zomato and TripAdvisor are useful for finding good food on any budget.
Please see information on the School's website about health and dental care.
Many of the places you might visit are within walking distance. This includes most LSE and University of London halls. London is a very safe city, but obviously you should take precautions, especially if you are alone at night and or intoxicated.
The Tube, Overground, and DLR run from around 0530 until midnight, every day but several tube lines run for 24 hours on weekends. They cover the whole of London.
Buses cover even more of London and run all day and night across most routes.
Contactless payment is available on the Tube, Overground, DLR, and Buses. You can also use an Oyster card. If you use public transport every day, you may want to apply for a student Oyster card for a discounted weekly or monthly rate.
Licensed black cabs (taxis) are available to hail in central London at any time. Or you can use Uber or Hailo to ask for a driver to come to your location.
From Heathrow Airport, you can take the Heathrow Express, Tube (Piccadilly Line), or a cab or similar.
From Gatwick Airport, you can take the Gatwick Express or Thameslink services, before switching to the Tube or buses. You can also take a cab or similar.
For domestic travel, it is usually easier to travel by train/rail than air. You can plan journeys and buy tickets for all UK train operators from National Rail. The two major coach operators are National Express and Megabus.
For international travel, Skycanner is useful for comparing flight prices and times. Eurostar may be another option, by rail. Megabus offers coaches to some European destinations.
Please see information on the School's website about visas and immigration.

This Old Thing?: Watership Down
Brand new books get all the attention but what about those lonely wallflowers, those old pals 'on the shelf' just waiting to be asked out on Saturday night. I'm talking about old books. They might be dented, stained and possibly smelly but let's not hold it against them. They were once like those shiny new ARCs or just released titles once upon a time. Let's give them a little love today.
My first title is Watership Down by Richard Adams. I recently reviewed it and enjoyed it. My copy is a discarded library book bought at a sale a few years ago. I think it cost a buck. It's not in bad shape for a library book either. The dustcover is still intact with just a bit of a tear. It held up well even after bouncing around in my trunk during my Toronto trip. It's now resting quietly back on the bookshelf.
How about you? Do you have an old favorite you want to give a shout out to? Leave some love in the comments or feel free to blog about it yourself.
10 comments:
That's a great idea! FYI, there's a publisher that blogs with the topic of books on the backlist: http://www.backlistbookoftheday.com/backlist_book_of_the_day/ReplyDelete
This is a great idea for a feature! Watership Down - top 5 favorites of all time for me!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Good idea! I review books (erm... try to review books -- I often don't get around to it) that I recently read; those can be oldies! But never old books that I read a long time ago. I'll think of one to put in the spotlights!ReplyDelete
I loved Watership Down btw; I'll make a picture of my copies (yes, plural!) soon.
Christine- It's a great book, isn't it?ReplyDelete
Gnoegnoe- That's awesome that you have more than one copy!
Since I adore rabbits, I'm always a little surprised when someone reminds me of Watership Down. It's on my bookshelf, waiting... Thanks for the reminder.ReplyDelete
This is a great idea for a new feature! An old favorite of mine is Little Women.ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I'll have to scan my shelves and decide which book(s) to give a shout out!ReplyDelete
It's a fantastic idea. A lot of my books are old, out of print ones because I frequent library sales just for the purpose of finding such old books. Funny thing is, I own two other books by Adams, Maia & Shardik that are old and who knows maybe I'll even talk about them on my blog.ReplyDelete
I love this backlist feature! Great idea!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting! Please leave a comment. I've disabled Anonymous comments since I've had a barrage of Anon spam lately. Sorry about that.
Also, if you leave a legit comment but it contains a spammy link, it will not be published.

Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that causes pain along the back of the leg near the heel. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or disease, and often causes swelling, pain, or irritation. There are two types of Achilles tendinitis, based upon which part of the tendon is inflamed.
Noninsertional Achilles Tendinitis
In noninsertional Achilles tendinitis, fibers in the middle portion of the tendon have begun to break down with tiny tears (degenerate), swell, and thicken.Tendinitis of the middle portion of the tendon more commonly affects younger, active people.
Insertional Achilles Tendinitis
Insertional Achilles tendinitis involves the lower portion of the heel, where the tendon attaches (inserts) to the heel bone.
In both noninsertional and insertional Achilles Tendinitis, damaged tendon fibers may also calcify (harden). Bone spurs (extra bone growth) often form with insertional Achilles tendinitis.
Tendinitis that affects the insertion of the tendon can occur at any time, even in patients who are not active.
What Causes Achilles Tendinitis?
Achilles tendinitis is typically not related to a specific injury. The problem results from repetitive stress to the tendon.
Common symptoms of Achilles tendinitis include:
Doctor Examination:After you describe your symptoms, I would examine your foot and ankle. I would look for these signs:
Diagnostic Tests: I may order imaging tests to make sure your symptoms are caused by Achilles tendinitis.
These could include X-rays and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
For more information about how to treat Achilles Tendinitis please visit www.aaos.com.

ABMen of Nebraska Newsletter
October 1, 2018
Men: We need you to be a member. We need your support. I know that you can buy two $5 meal deals (excluding tax) with the $10 that it will cost you to join ABMen, but not only is there a need for your dues payment, but there is a greater need for your involvement in the life of your community and state. How can American Baptist Churches of Nebraska use ABM-NE to reach out to individuals and communities around the state? ABM-NE should be in the foreground of this work. A wonderful example of this aid is already being done by the Scottsbluff church through its Firefighter Ministry. Contact Bob Howe about joining.
Men's Conference
New officers for ABMen were elected at the conference with their terms beginning in January of 2019. Todd Ray was elected President Brad Pope becomes Executive Vice President; Secretary is Rick Wheatly; Treasurer Craig Erickson; Glen Dappen is Financial Chair; Bob Howe is Membership Chair; Zach Braxton is new blood on the board as Publicity Chair; Bob Slechta is Disaster Relief Chair; and Paul Marine continues as Pastor Counselor.
Disaster Relief
It will be through our disaster relief that work groups could be organized to assist our neighbors and towns. The protocol for deciding selection of a project has yet to be established. It will be disseminated to you when completed. Again, you need to be a part of this outreach.
Camp Merrill
Zip Line: The Zip Line has been equipped with the new braking system. It provided a safe and quick passage down the line which in turn allowed more time for other activities. Work on the line continues this fall as two anchor poles will replace the Oak tree on the north side with two new platforms being constructed.
Boundary Fence: The eastern boundary fence along Road 30 has been constructed and access to the east side is through two 16-foot gates that are chained and locked. Attention is now on the property where the camp's lagoon is located. There has been no fence there. The new fence will run along the north and west side of that property. It has been plotted and with its completion, the camp will be completely fenced in. Both fence projects are a quarter mile each.
Contribution Campaigns: Since September 2010, ABMen have raise $69,886.55 for various projects at Camp Moses Merrill.
Golf Tournament: The fall men's golf tournament will be held at Mahoney Golf course in Lincoln on October 13th. Registration will start at 7:30. The money raised supports two seminary students. Please plan to attend, but if not, you can always donate to this cause.
In Christ,
Craig K Erickson
I wanted to update you on some of the items we discussed at our meeting today.
Oct. 14 - we are in charge of the coffee hour after the traditional service Wayne, Mike, & Joel will bring the cookies, but please come & help serve if you can.
Oct. 17 - we are responsible for the Wednesday night meal. We will be serving pizzas. If you would like to donate $5 for the cost of a pizza, please give your money to Mike Raasch. From my count, we need money for 4 more pizzas (we will be getting 10 total). If you would like to bring cookies for dessert, please let me know.
Oct. 18 - the downtown Halloween event (5:00 - 7:00 pm). Please feel free to come & help. We will be located on the southwest corner of 6th & Main. If you would like to donate hot dogs, buns, or candy for this event, please let me know.
Nov. 17 - we plan to serve a breakfast at Care Corps - more details will follow as we get closer.
We also discussed going on a trip this fall. Some of the suggestions were the Moses Merrill monument south of Bellevue, Arbor Lodge in Nebraska City, & the Kearney archway. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. We will probably try to do this before the middle of November.
The American Baptist Men (ABM) have a monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month. We meet at Bella's Café on Broad St., at 8:00 am. We also have a Bible study following the meeting. We enjoy meeting together for Bible study, food, and fellowship.
The ABM are involved in several projects. We serve a meal for the Wednesday night children's & youth activities once a month, host the coffee hour once a month after the traditional service, and also do various service projects around the church. We have also served breakfast at Care Corps, and co-sponsor the hotdog and pop booth during John C. Fremont Days. Most of the funds raised during our various events are donated to mission projects.

"A poem for FTL" by Yahtzee19
A hilarious poem about the frustrations of being a character in the FTL universe.
"I've spent a lot of time playing FTL: Faster Than Light lately that I should have been spending on something productive. So I thought if I made a video about it I could rationalise it to myself. Also you should check out FTL, it's pretty fun."

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to the growth of the local food revolution is that it's not equally accessible to everyone (unless you grow your own food, which is arguably a bit more equal opportunity). Buying fresh, healthy produce is actually quite a challenge, even for those who can afford the often-but-not-always higher prices of local food. Farmers markets are usually held during the day when most people are at work, and inconvenient CSA pickups with their typical crapshoot variety and quantity of produce scares off many people.
If two people are working full-time in a household, it can be a real challenge to get food outside of an (often overpriced) health-oriented supermarket, and while some of the products in such a market will be local, many of them might be "healthy," but from halfway around the world (and we know that shipping stuff uses plenty of nonrenewable fossil fuels, which only exacerbates global warming and disenfranchises local growers). It's a real conundrum for people who care about food.
Good Eggs is out to change that frustrating narrative. About two years ago, Rob Spiro, co-founder and CEO of the company, got together with some friends to make healthy local food more easily available. "We started as a mission-driven company, and that mission was to grow sustainable food systems worldwide. We want to help local food systems to grow," he said.
How? Good Eggs is doing it through a food-delivery system (and some very fancy backend software, we'd have to guess). If you've ever used a grocery-delivery platform, like FreshDirect or PeaPod, you know how it works; you scroll through a site, choose what you like, and it gets delivered at a future time. But at Good Eggs, everything you order is secured through local food purveyors. We're talking farmers, of course, but also bakers, ranchers, pickle- and jam-makers, apiarists, and even flower-growers.
It has to be super-pricy, right? Not really. In fact, the company made sure that it was offering items at prices as affordable as possible. The only difference between Good Eggs and others is that you will have to wait a bit longer for your local food, since it's not already sitting in a warehouse, but coming directly from the people who make it or grow it. That has an upside.
Spiro says, "The produce is higher quality than you'll find in any supermarket; that's what's really great. But prices are really competitive too, since we are buying direct from producers. It definitely costs less than what you pay at Whole Foods."
The company launched in San Francisco, where it was pretty much an immediate success, depending on word of mouth for publicity. Next the company moved to New York City (operating out of Brooklyn), and the team currently has pilot programs in Los Angeles and New Orleans, both of which are going well. Why these cities? Well, Good Eggs' goal is to expand to hundreds of U.S. cities, and the founders chose their first few to be as diverse as possible, so they could work out as many logistical kinks as possible right at the beginning. This is not like franchising a chain restaurant — built into the DNA of the company is the fact that each locale has its own foodshed, unique products, tastes and preferences.
"There's so much that's different from city to city," says Spiro. "There's a totally unique supply chain [for each area], so you find that there's lots of nuances to pickup and delivery, as well as product selection. We have a big team on the ground in each city, and it's important to adapt the model to their city on a daily and weekly basis."
So they chose a dense city (NYC), a car-dependent city with terrible traffic (LA), a city with mixed incomes (New Orleans) so that this local food experiment isn't just about, "working in coastal, high-income markets," says Spiro. And naturally they started in cities that had a strong existing food culture, since the idea would be more easily understood. New Orleans, in particular, has been incredibly supportive, said Spiro.
The company has ensured plenty of local knowledge by hiring employees and team leaders who are from the areas they serve, instead of the typical practice of bringing in their own people from outside. Again, knowing the local landscape is a top priority.
Good Eggs chooses partners — the bakers, farmers, fisherpeople, etc. — based on specific, published criteria (including ratings and research from organizations like the Monterey Bay Aquarium), and while many of the company's products would be considered organic by most people in the healthy food community, they aren't necessarily certified by a third party.
With the passionate founding team behind the company (all of whom care deeply about food and have either worked on farms or have cooking backgrounds), the company's early success isn't surprising — these are people doing what they love and improving the world in the way they know how. Spiro sums up the company's ideals when he explains, "There are so many benefits to sustainable agriculture, and there's so much support around it. It's more than food, it's also about building local communities, and empowering consumer culture."

Developers and coders are a hot commodity and the boom in start-ups around digital health combined with increased health IT spending is making qualified developers harder to find. It's a classic example of supply not keeping pace with demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 1.4 million computer science jobs are expected by 2020, but only 400,000 new computer science graduates to meet the demand.
With the increase in mobile device applications and further implementation of electronic health records, privacy and security is a growing concern. Naturally, patients expect healthcare organizations to take the necessary steps to safeguard their personal information.

The GYMIES SQUAD:
We're taking our Gymnastic's SQUAD to a whole new level this year, adding classes and some new exciting instructors. We are also introducing Ballet SQUAD and a Martial Arts SQUAD.
What does it mean to be a part of the GYMIES SQUAD?
Being a part of the GYMIES SQUAD means you spend more time training big skills, as well as weekly time training core elements in your sport. SQUAD classes are longer and a bit more intense than regular classes. Being part of SQUAD also means more performing time. This past year our Gymnastics and Dance SQUAD kids performed in every show (that's 7!) as part of our finale piece. In the coming year we are looking for opportunities for our SQUAD teams to perform at local school and community events.
Who is invited to join SQUAD?
Our SQUAD members typically have been members of GYMIES for anywhere from 2 - 4 years. Their sport is exciting to them and they want to keep adding to their repertoire. They want to learn more, and perform better. Literally! We are looking for students who are eager and willing to take it to the next level by bringing discipline, dedication, and determination to their time in class, while still having a blast!
How does being a part of the SQUAD benefit you?
Being a part of SQUAD brings many benefits. As a SQUAD member you have more training time in the gym, more time performing and by default, you spend more time SHINING. (There's a GYMIES ethos in action!) Being part of the SQUAD leaves you feeling PROUD of your hard work and CONFIDENT in yourself and your talents. Being on the SQUAD and training alongside your like-minded peers is also immensely fun, and so uber socially and emotionally healthy for you. Studies have shown that kids who have a good time being fit in childhood have an easier time incorporating fitness into their adult lives. How neat! The exclusive SQUAD t-shirt is pretty neat too.

You know there really is nothing like just being another number in the que .. if only we didn't have to rely on so many middle men and referrals!
Why this feeling? .... Well upon leaving hospital after the removal of my tumour the surgeon instructed for an MRI to be done 6 months from surgery (which coincidentally is today) .... Since I still hadn't received an appointment, so I ring Fulford Radiology who inform me that they received the referral from my local specialist in May instructing the appointment to be in ... October .. 6 months after I last saw him in April for a pointless $80 - 5 minute appointment. Not sure why he has done this I ring the local specialist asking if we can revise that back to the instruction of the surgeon and get an MRI booked in .... reply was 'oh I'm sure he knows best, but I'll mention it to him' .. (yes you will & if needed i'll send you a copy of the post op report instructing a MRI in July or even August but not October!) .. 'lovely, much appreciated' is all I can say. It may be a simple error sure and we are all human, it just not nice to be the number in the que when its dealing with your brain, your body and your emotions. All in all though 6 months down the track and i'm feeling average, school holidays have been taxing but everyday is still a blessing. The renovations are 90% there and i'm a very lucky lady having just been to Rarotonga with friends for their wedding.
If there is one thing that sticks with me through this journey is that you need to keep onto the system to ensure it is working for you, you just can't leave it in the hands of the professionals because a lot of the time to them you are just a number and an income.
It is amazing to me just how it works, today i've noticed that:
- a lot of adults go through some rather major experiences but seem to be viewed upon as hush hush in many cases or expectation/amazement that 'they are coping so well' (on the exterior at least),
- there are a lot of children who face tremendous issues, where only a select few are there to support the family,
- Then there are the children and adults who end up on the front line of 'media and awareness' pulling support from a further field . maybe due to someone standing up for them or their position in society.
My wish would be that everyone facing such challenges had the support of a large group - big call and unrealistic sure - but imagine just how support like that feels and what positive outcomes it is able to achieve. Also imagine those who are left to struggle/manage alone, yes some people may prefer this but overall the results and recovery are reflective of the support one receives on their journey.
It all reminds me of local communities of yesteryear, lately i've been talking to my grandparents about how life was. The simple life, I guess you could call it. Where veggies grew in the back garden - you knew your neighbours on first name basis, if you had extra or someone needed help it was all spread around as people worked together, local halls were busy most weekends and volunteers where everywhere in large supply. Don't get me wrong evolution has got its good points but the change has also removed some community spirit and general hands on support and face to face communication.
Its like what real use is there of social media / the internet and is it a positive / negative influence? I know it sure does help you to gain knowledge at a quicker pace but is that needed, used wisely or does it set people up for failure. When it comes to how many 'likes or comments' on a post do we now have expectation that people will reply to fuel the fire needed to keep our passion alive or is it a meaningless waste of energy and resources leaving us feel unappreciated for our time and efforts.
I get caught between the want for a simple life and the needs of a complex one all the time. I believe that motherhood has done this to me, I want our children to grow up with simple values, respect for elders and knowledge to set them up for life. But then when I look around my home, their school and the wider community I find it filled with meaningless junk. The type of junk that compounds and then ten steps later your standing there wondering what happened. It puts me in standstill mode, one minute I think the solution is to get rid of it all - back to basics, but then the expectations of society creep in.
Its a big pondering of mine - just what is the world going to look like when our children are adults and are we doing them justice to prepare? Have you noticed just how happy they are with the unknown - playing today purely for what gifts today brings, its society and advertising which teaches them (more often then not) about the needs that come of wanting the latest gadget or toy. However after the money is spent, that item is bought home, its generally tossed aside so they can play in the mud - just as I did as a child which goes to show that nothing much changes at all huh! The cycle is the same - yet each generation has a generalisation of wanting to provide more for their children then what was provided for them. I'm yet to meet a parent who raves about each moment of childhood and wants to repeat that experience directly for their children.
Have we walked away from overall simple values and communities or have we just forgotten them caught up in the world as it is today, everyone wants to be bigger and better then what was before them - but it is these pressures that put us in an unhealthy position. Maybe that's what happened to simplicity - why spend time 'you don't have' growing vegetables when you can pay someone else to via a shop? or stopping in to check on your neighbour when you have so much work to do ... oh if only I had the time for that .. right ....

Welcome to The Barack Obama Show!
You can stretch this adverb pretty far. Obama knows the economy is America's chief concern. People want to get back to work. They want stocks to rise. They want credit to flow. None of this has much of a connection with education, energy, or health care, except when you use a limitless elastic concept like "ultimately" or "finally" or "at the end of the day." Like a car salesman who argues that spending extra money on a precious, invisible, perhaps mythical undercoating is ultimately the key to your car retaining its value over the years, Obama will use the economy to upsell you on hundreds of billions of dollars of new spending.
Hard choices. Tough decisions. Sacrifices
Obama loves to talk about how nothing will be easy. It makes him seem like a serious, thoughtful person. Especially when he says it in that rich, resonant voice. The kind of voice that plays God in whimsical comedy fantasy movies, or tells you at the end of the drug commercial, "Ask your doctor." But he won't actually call for the average person to give up anything. The hard choices, in the end, amount to things like: Should we get everything we ever wanted tomorrow or grit our teeth, bear down, and wait till the day after tomorrow?
Responsibility. Accountability
These concepts will be applied exclusively to corporate America and those shadowy individuals in the top five percent who knocked the country off course through over leveraging, thanks to artificially low interest rates and profiting from Ponzi schemes and the greater fool theory. They don't apply to the government, which is doing all of the same things on a much larger scale and continues not to worry about the biggest Ponzi scheme ever created: Social Security.

New Base, New Basket
The game of basketball has a long road behind it. Invented within the 1800's, the sport of basketball was intended for indoors and applied rules of all totally different sorts of sports activities. There are two classes of rebounds: offensive rebounds, through which the ball is recovered by the offensive facet and doesn't change possession, and defensive rebounds, in which the defending team good points possession of the free ball. The ball is usually shot by leaping (though not all the time) and extending the capturing arm.
Players may shoot straight into the basket or may use the backboard to redirect the ball into the basket. The NBL is Australia's pre-eminent men's professional basketball league. For the offense, a violation of those rules results in lack of possession; for the defense, most leagues reset the shot clock and the offensive group is given possession of the ball out of bounds.
Baskets are a enjoyable and unique different to gift wrap At World Market, we have beautiful baskets with handles which might be great for creating customized present baskets. Within the Philippines, the Philippine Basketball Affiliation 's first recreation was performed on April 9, 1975 on the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao , Quezon Metropolis Philippines.
Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree household, the skinny grasses of temperate areas, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a special method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket. Basket interference, or goaltending is a violation charged when a player illegally interferes with a shot.
Because these baskets are fabricated from a porus leaf product, most paints would not adhere properly, completely or constantly to these natural fibers. Cornelius Connie" Hawkins, enshrined as a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Corridor of Fame in 1992, has passed away on the age of 75.
