Video Proof That Steadicam Shots Make Everything Cooler
Features By Scott Beggs on March 5, 2013 | Comments (7)Walking and talking, dancing, stalking someone before exacting your revenge, running up some steps at the end of a jog, stumbling drunken down a hallway, closing down a bar for a club you can't talk about, wandering around a harmless outdoor maze, watching an iconic figure give a speech. All of these things can be made infinitely cooler by using a Steadicam. Introduced to production by Garrett Brown in 1975, the rig earned some serious credibility by 1976 and was then refined by the needs of Stanley Kubrick for a little flick called The Shining (who needs a shot that runs along the floor?). It's been used heavily ever since, and now Larry Wright and Refocused Media have made a very slick edit showing as much proof that you could ever need that Steadicam shots are the way to go if you need something to look incredibly badass. Pull up some popcorn and enjoy.

Professor Dennis Ippolito, Department Chair
Professors: Seyom Brown, James Hollifield, Calvin Jillson, Michael Lusztig,
Harold Stanley, Stephen Wegren; Associate Professors: Bradley Carter, Joseph
Kobylka, Luigi Manzetti, Dennis Simon, Matthew Wilson; Assistant
Professors: Valerie Hunt, Taka Sakamoto, Hiroki Takeuchi, Wendy Watson; Professor Emeritus: James
The department offers undergraduate courses of three types. Introductory courses (at the 1000 level) survey each of the broad fields of study in the discipline. Advanced courses (at the 3000 and 4000 levels) explore more closely defined topics within each of those fields — 3000-level courses examine relatively broad subjects; 4000-level courses examine more specific topics, but are not inherently more demanding than 3000-level courses. Introductory-level preparation or at least sophomore standing is recommended for students undertaking these advanced courses.
Independent study courses (at the 4000 level) are offered to majors with sophomore or higher standing; prerequisites for these courses are stated in the course descriptions that follow. For purposes of distribution and concentration, courses are grouped in their broad fields in the listings below, as indicated by the last two digits of their course numbers:
Requirements for the B.A. Degree. The B.A. degree in political science requires a total of 33 term hours with two introductory courses (six hours) of choice and 27 advanced hours (3000 and above). Advanced course work must include at least six hours (two courses) in each of two distribution fields, and three hours (one course) in a third.
Minors in Political Science. Four minor concentrations are offered, a general program in Political Science and three specifically focused programs in Political Thought, Comparative and International Politics, and American Politics. Each concentration requires 18 term hours of political science courses, including three or six hours (one or two courses) at the introductory level and 12 or 15 advanced hours.
Departmental Distinction. The department offers graduation with distinction to select majors of high academic achievement. Interested students may consult with an appropriate faculty member and apply to the Director of Undergraduate Studies for admission to the distinction track. Eligible students must have completed two introductory departmental courses and completed 24 hours of departmental credit before applying for candidacy.
Criteria for graduating with Departmental Distinction include the following:
A minimum 3.00 overall G.P.A. at graduation.
A minimum 3.50 average in courses taken for the Political Science major.
Preparation for a departmental distinction thesis under the supervision of a faculty thesis adviser. The faculty adviser's grade for the thesis must be A- or higher. This work will be accomplished by taking PLSC 4307 and will be in addition to all other requirements for the major.
Passing "with distinction" an oral examination of at least one hour, conducted by a faculty distinction examination committee, which reviews the candidate thesis and major curriculum.
A minimum 3.50 average in at least two advanced courses related to the topic of the thesis; one of these may, but need not, be a course taken outside the requirements of the Political Science major.
Students advanced to the distinction track must write a substantial piece of independent and original research (PLSC 4307) and present it to a distinction committee composed of faculty selected by the distinction adviser in consultation with the student. Upon positive recommendation of this committee, the department will award the student graduation with distinction.
Eligible students will be admitted to the distinction track upon recommendation of the Director of Undergraduate Studies in consultation with the faculty member who has agreed to chair the distinction committee and oversee the student's research and writing. The department does not require candidates for distinction to take Research Design and Data Analysis (PLSC 4376), but strongly advises students interested in empirical research to do so.
Notes of Importance. Students must receive at least a C- in all classes counting toward the major or minor.
No course may be counted more than once toward meeting departmental major or minor requirements. In unusual circumstances, a student may petition, through his or her adviser, to the department chair for exceptions to the above requirements. Only the department chair may grant such a written waiver.

Interview: Blouse
We speak with the dream-pop band about doughnuts floating through space and Snoop Dogg.
The other day I had a really good day on the internet: I came across Blouse. They're a three-piece band based out of Portland, and they came together a few summers ago when Charlie Hilton, Patrick Adams and Jacob Portrait all started playing music together in a warehouse. Making deep and dark synth-led dream-pop, they released their self-titled album in September last year. We caught up with lead singer Charlie about doughnuts floating through space and Snoop Dogg.
Ingrid Kesa: How was Blouse born?
Charlie Hilton: It was a divine accident. I had gone back to university to study graphic design and met Patrick on the first day of class. We had a three-hour studio together with a really awful professor, so there was a lot of time to talk. Eventually, talking led to playing music. Of course, I had been writing for a long time and Patrick and Jake had a history of making music together, but Blouse was really born out of the three of us coming together and wanting very badly to make something new.
Who is the most well-dressed band or musician of all time?
There's something very sleek about David Byrne. I love his suits, even that giant one he used to wear.
Is Portland anything like the TV show Portlandia makes it out to be?
Yeah, a little.
If you had to have a rap cameo in one of your songs, which hip hop artist would you choose and why?
Snoop Dogg, because he's Snoop Dogg.

Cardinals ask permission to interview Denver's Mike McCoy
The Cardinals, along with the Chicago Bears, have asked for permission to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for the vacant position.
McCoy, 40, has spent 13 seasons as an NFL assistant, including the last four as the architect of the Denver Broncos' offense. This season, with Peyton Manning at the controls, the Broncos ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense (397.9 yards per game) and second in points per game (30.1). Denver is riding an 11-game winning streak heading into the postseason as the AFC's top seed.
But maybe more impressively, McCoy helped Denver to the playoffs last season with Tim Tebow at quarterback. McCoy helped devise a system to take advantage of Tebow's skill set and the team rebounded from a 2-5 start to go 8-8, win the AFC West, and defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
According to Schefter's report, McCoy will interview with the Cardinals this weekend, as Denver has a bye week for the first round of the postseason.

"Excellent Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
We are very satisfy with this hotel. It is located in 5 minutes walking distance from Florence central station. Excellent restaurant next door with 10% for hotel guests. We stayed in one of the unit with kitchen. There are supermarkets nearby. Breakfast is buffet style with many choices. Hotel staff is very helpful. They even helped us to print out train tickets when we purchased on line. We would definitely stay in this hotel again if we went to Florence again.
"Great place to stay!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
The staff here were fabulous, even calling our hotel in Rome before we left them to ask a question for us. The room for two adults, a 6'+ 15 yr old and a 16 yr old was more then big enough and bright and airy. The bell tower outside the window was beautiful. Staying here you are close to the Duomo and convenient to the train station, which is fabulous when you are training between cities in Rome. We would most definitely stay here again!
"Excellent location and staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
Great location! Easy walking distance from train station! The staff was extremely helpful and gave us great recommendations for shopping and hotels.

"Good distance to the main sites, just an OK hotel"
The hotel was ok - not amazing but not awful. The lobby was really nice, upgraded, bright and modern but the rooms were not...The bed was pretty uncomfortable and the room was kind of dreary. The cleanliness was good in the bathroom but the carpet in the rooms looked very old and not very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good place and close to most of shops and the museums.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great price and location"
Short 10 minute walk to what you want to see in Florance - rooms small (like most all of Europe) but clean and air conditioned - worth the price !Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay in Florence"
We drove into Florence so the location was great. Short walk to the sights. Staff was very friendly. Room was comfortable. There was a firework show that was right down the street. Was very happy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location"
The room was clean but the shower was very small and open, the water was going to the room and the carpet was wet for that reason. It's modern but they could've done a better job. You get what you pay for. Convenient location, close to downtown, you don't need a car.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A little farther from city center than I expected"
The room looked nice but there were a few problems, there was no soap or towels when we got to our room the wifi only worked some of the time the tv was broken.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel"
Walls are not well isolated so you can hear people from nieghboring room.Genuine Expedia guest review
This was a great place to stay. The only problem was the phone service was out but a fellow guest called a taxi for us. I would recommend to hotel to all my friends. The location was good and withing walking distance to what we wanted to see and a short taxi ride to the train station.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasing hotel"
A clean environment for a traveler. A little further from center city then expected however the atmosphere is very pleasing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Obviously not family owned"
Nice, clean, modern and well located. No parking, no breakfast, no smiles. I would stay here again just know now I'm just a guest and they do not care about making you feel at home.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK value for money, but bad service and moldy"
The room we had (a triple) was rather large. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the main sites (Ponte Vecchio, Duomo). But: the service was terrible - quite rude at times. The bathroom also had a large strip - about 40 cm x 5 cm - of visible mold. The soap dispenser in the shower was empty throughout our stay and there was no soap available for […] the sink, or any toilet paper holder. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basic B&B in a good location"
Good location, clean and comfortable. The only bad thing was that the bed was too hard, with two single mattresses in the double/queen bed leaving a gap between them which was uncomfortable. The hotel had free wifi, but I was not able to successfully log in on my iPhone. It was a great Italian restaurant only one block away (NOT the one recommended […] by the hotel).

This hotel is not located at centre of Florence.Room are very small.But clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Decent value, but nothing special"
This hotel was a decent value for the area considering it was clean, inexpensive, and was less than a mile from the center of Florence. Staff: The staff was polite, but not overly friendly or as willing to help as other hotels we had experienced. But they were willing to answer our specific questions, so it was fine. Location: It is about a mile walk […] from Il Duomo. Late at night it is a little dark, but during the day is a very pleasant walk. There is a Coop grocery store around the corner (take a right, then right at the huge arch, then the first left) which had incredibly inexpensive fruit, bread, beverages, etc., but keep in mind there is no fridge in the room. But it was great since there were not too many restaurants nearby. Room: It was a bit sparse and the bathroom was an awkward setup (I believe it was room 216 or 217, which may be more awkward than others). There was no enclosed storage - no closet door or drawers - so all of your items were exposed. The bathroom was the most awkward. The sink was incredibly small and the shelf hung over it, so getting near the sink was a challenge. Also, the shower was quite narrow and had no door (it was enclosed on 3 sides only). Thankfully we were both small/moderately sized - anyone who is broad, tall, or somewhat overweight would've had significant trouble since even I had to turn sideways in order to get elbow room. Additionally, there are no English TV stations (no BBC or CNN) - not a big deal, but something to mention. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Not impressed"
We stayed at this hotel on the 9th & 10th of Sept, 2011. We definitely were not impressed with the hotel or service. Our room, a double, was barely large enough to move around. The bed basically filled the room and so you would have to use the wall or bed as support as you moved to your side of the bed. The bathroom was so tiny that in the shower I […] could not lift my arms above my head without hitting either side of the walls (I have to add that I am not a large person; i am rather small and the shower was too small for me). The sink in the bathroom was so tiny and had a larger shelf over the top that made it very difficult to adequately use! We had a double room but the room came with one plastic glass. I asked for another and was told the hotel did not have any other glasses. We asked for an extra pillow as the pillows were very small and were told the hotel did not have any extra pillows. The carpeting in our room was extremely stained with large stains surrounding the bed. When we first checked in, I walked through the room with my shoes off and ended up with a large ball of hair around my toes which was not my hair. Breakfast was nothing to write home about and I would not recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good experience"
My fiance and I are fairly well-traveled, so we managed to find the hotel on our own using the city buses. We liked the room and the staff was friendly and helpful (and spoke good English). We only stayed one night but would consider going back the next time we are in Florence. It was a nice walk to many of the big sights of the city.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The worst hotel we stayed at on our trip"
This hotel was the worst experience ever for our Europe trip. First off the receptionist did not speak English we had a hard time communicating with them. They even hung up on me when I complain about how slow the Internet was...their response I don't understand I don't speck English...click! Second I read reviews that they have high speed Internet […] it's more like dial up or even worst...when we first arrive my husband and I was wondering why everyone was in the hotel lobby all the time...we finally figured out why it was because the room Internet was so slow they had to go to the lobby to even use the Internet. location its about 20-30 min walk to a plaza or tourist area. Lastly the air condition in our room was linking water and the most important that people need to know about there is no shower door so water will be splash everywhere on the floor after you shower. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
""Customer Service""
The customer service of the front desk was so poor. I have stayed in several places in Florence and have never been treated as such. The shower wasn't draining on our first night so we called the front desk he came to look at it but said the house keeping would fix it the next day. He would try to change our rooms but he wasn't sure. Next day same shower […] problems, and it was raining. This hotel is far from all the sites walking distance if you like to walk (we don't mind). I asked the front desk if it was to rain the whole day and if he knew where I could be get an umbrella. In a rude fashion told all day and NOPE! :( So sad Florence really has gone down hill from the last time we were there 4 years ago. Save your money and go to Naples instead, Pompeii is gorgeous. ;) Breakast was okay & beds were comfy! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good location for a good price"
Being on a budget, I was happy to find B &B Hotels. I was afraid of some of the reviews that said there was bad service, but when we got there I was pleasantly surprised. No, the service wasn't the most friendly nor did the receptionists speak the best English, but we got by. The room was great, really big and spacious and clean as well. The best part […] was the view, since its a little ways outside of the center of the city, we had amazing views of the Duomo and surrounding areas. Its only a 10 minute walk to the center of the city and we were able to get everywhere on foot. Overall, we had a really good experience and I would recommend this hotel.

"A good buy for Florence"
Although the hotel is a little bit far from the train station, it is not a far walk from the city center and there is a bus stop right around the corner. The hotel staff was friendly and spoke English pretty well, and our room was clean and had a nice little view of the neighborhood. The room was not very big, but large enough for two. Free wi-fi is […] always a plus, and there is a little refrigerator downstairs where you can buy drinks from the front desk. I would stay here again for sure. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bare necessities"

"good price for quality"
Good hotel for the price, clean and friendly staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"decent hotel for budget minded"
The hotel was not bad, but only if you are on a tighter budget and want to stay in an area with more locals. In our opinion, there are better options in Florence. Not too difficult to find, but best by bus as it is a longer walk from the city center. It is an average hotel, nothing special and it is a bit outside of the main attractions in Florence. […] There is nearby parking but we did not have a rental car. Room was clean but not in the best of conditions. Staff was friendly for the most part but had some confusion with us checking in for some reason. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very modern and nicely kept. I had a comfortable and relaxed stay their and would recommend it to others. The staff were not that nice but were helpful when needed. It was an easy 20min walk to the main areas of the city or there are a few bus stops really close by.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good night sleep"
Quite a modern style rooms. Reasonable walking distance to the cathedral and to the main train station. Less crowded area with few places to eat out, but Florence is relatively small and can easily walk around. Loved Florence town, so beautiful and very charming streets. Room sizes are ok, won't get a noisy or any other disturbance and a good night […] sleep guaranteed. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Budget Travellers"
We loved our stay here. Our beds were super comfortable, room was clean, the place was quiet, breakfast was amazing, the walk from the station was a beautiful walk seeing the sites, and the hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fantastic location"
You could not actually ask for a better location. I did not have to take any transport to any of the tourist attractions. All of them were only 5-15 minutes walk. The staff were helpful and upon arriving provided us with a map in which they highlighted all of the main tourist attractions. I would stay here again upon returning to Florence.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel Firenze was not exactly super close to downtown, but the fact that it was super clean, the staff was very helpful, breakfast was a great deal and the internet was free with a decent computer to use made up for the walk to the downtown core. It's showing its age and could use a few more things in the room (we felt like we were staying in a space […] hotel), but overall it was a nice place for a great price :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Reached hotel after a long travel & tired, staff though courteous but took long time to arrange our 2 rooms key codes & then gave one code & paperwork for both the rooms. On returning, they started to argue whose mistake was it with further delays. Rooms were big, spacious & modern but very poor air-conditiong, leaking shower cubicle, no hot water, […] no toiletries except one dispenser in shower cubicle even if you have to wash hands only, all of these were very disappointing. After a day in city we returned at 9pm and door of one room got stuck & would not shut, lady at reception could only come later at 11pm to sort it out as she was the only staff member in B&B. Though it's a B&B but breakfast not included in price and breakfast expensive, you could have breakfast in half of the price outside. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great place for the price"
This place provided very clean, nice, modern rooms for the price. The beds were especially comfy. Everything seemed to run smoothly at this hotel. The only problem was that they forgot to get our passport info at check-in, and then proceeded to knock on our door and call our room numerous times at around 9 in the morning (we were planning on sleeping […] in past that hour). After that, the cleaning lady knocked on our door a few times although we had the "do not disturb" sign up. The check-out time is not clearly stated anywhere, so when we tried to leave at around 12:15 they called our room in a huff and seemed very annoyed that we were leaving just fifteen minutes late. However, I'm making too big of a deal of these small negatives, because overall I enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this place to a friend. :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
the room was small.staff could have been more courteous. we were charged the full amount breakfast charges and even city tax before we entered our room. no printing facility for net user.we wanted to print our ticket.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Clean stay at non-tourist neighborhood"
We spent two hours to catch the right bus, and we shouldn't had listened to google map at the first place. There is a bus 23A or 23 will go to the hotel at the left handside of Firenze SMN, it takes about 15 minutes. The place is contemporary and clean, the staffs are helpful and friendly, spoken decent english. We booked a triple room, but they mistakenly […] gave us a king bed. After informed the font desk, they changed the room right away. The petite lady in blonde long hair is extremely helpful and nice. Everything is good except the shower has no certain and it has slow drain, so the water flood out. BUT turn the water down will keep everything under control. There is a good Italian restaurant by the round-about "Trattoria", excellent beef brew. Coop supermarket is 5 minutes away. The hotel is about 20-30 minutes walk to Duomo, but the walk is pleasant as you explore the true neighborhood. There is a #14 (a,b,c) all go to SMN station just 1 minute walk from the hotel. Buy your bus ticket in advance cuz it is hard to find ticket points nearby and during rush hour, the bus is likely to be full, but it runs every 5-10 minutes, so it isn't that bad.

"B&B Hotel Capitol Firenze"
The hotel is locate about 20min from hotel to centre, the room is very conformatable, also the staffs are very nice and can speak English(Italian Engligh)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good budget hotel walking distance to town"
The Hotel was a good budget hotel, the staff did a reasonable job. The location is a little out of town but an easy walk to the centerGenuine Expedia guest review
"B&B Capitol Firenze"
Clean enough but I wasn't entirely taken with the comfort of the beds or the cold clinical feel of the place. It was sort of like an Ikea inspired Holding cell/ Office cubicle . Some of the front desk staff staff was cold and might be happier in a different setting where they don't have to put up with the inconvenience of having to deal with the public. I […] guess you do generally get what you pay for but I wish I had paid a bit more and found somewhere more central and friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, but you get what you pay for."
Great location for very low price, 5-10 minute walk into the heart of downtown Florence. Air conditioning worked very well. Room was tiny, barely anywhere to put our bags (other than on the bed). Little night table (no desk). Hotel is terribly understaffed for how busy it is. There was only one poor lady (who was very helpful) to deal with many customers. […] I phoned down for extra towels and she said I had to come get them myself because she couldn't leave the desk. Bed was comfortable, but with no screen on the window, lots of bugs got in at night (I need fresh air to sleep, so had to leave windows open). No fridge. Don't buy drinks or water at the hotel, walk for a couple minutes and save lots of money. Room was fairly clean, but sheets (specifically the mattress cover) were dirty. We drove in and it was easy to find, not sure about proximity to bus/train though. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent hotel"
The hotel is excellent. Good location, comfortable rooms, good breakfast and affordable price! Keep your eyes out for deals on the breakfast - they could save you a lot of money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"B&B Hotel Capitol Firenze"
We found the front desk staff very unwelcoming on the day of our arrival. Didn't get much help trying to log on to a computer using their 'Wifi'. I was not impressed when I was asked for 3 euros/person/night, when the law states 1(one euro). When I questioned that, the staff member insisted that she was correct, and I was misinformed. Room was great, […] but only a soap liquid dispenser in the shower! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This is my second visit to this hotel. On the previous occasion it was owned by the US chain Best Western. The then reasonable standards have been maintained, though the breakfast now has tobe paid for separately but still inexpesive. Staff are helpful and thehotel is well served by local buses and one can walk to the central area within 20mts.My overall […] assessment is it is very good given price location and service. I will recommend it. Nihal. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great hotel, staff and location...will definitely return!!"
The hotel is near all major attractions (approx 15min walk) good exercise after enjoying all the delicious food!! The room was very nice, cozy, very clean air conditioned and had a balcony with a fantastic view! The staff were always very nice, friendly and very helpful...always with a smile!

"B&B Florence - Firenze"
Overall very good. Breakfast was ok. I did note there seemed to be a warmer perhaps for boiled eggs or similar but never saw any food in it. staff were friendley spoke English and were very helpful with booking tours, internet access etc. Bit of a walk from the city centre where the rail station is if you are carting luggage but fineto walk from here […] for site seeing. Watch the taxi drivers should only cost about 7euro from station another doubled the meter as we pulled up at 9am in the morning when I returned to station to leave Florence.

Do you want to save £1000s on staff training?
SkillsActive can help you reduce your costs and train more people by identifying which of your staff could be eligible for funded training. The Funding Eligibility Service is a simple, effective way to improve your business performance by making the most of available funding.
Key features include:
- Save £1000s on many areas of staff training
Funding frameworks can cover training up to Level 3
- Support to access available funding totalling over £1,400m
This is one of the few funding routes available to help support your business by ensuring you have high-quality staff* - Save time and money on administration
We will do the work to find who is eligible and help organise their training for you - Minimum effort from you or your staff
Our simple online form can be emailed to employees and takes just a couple of minutes to complete
What is the Funding Eligibility Service?
The Funding Eligibility Service involves staff completing a simple online form which has been designed to enable all employers, regardless of size or location, to identify who in their organisation can receive funding for undertaking a qualification. Eligibility is based on age and existing qualifications** – information that our form can help you find with very little extra effort.
The Service includes analysis of the level of funded training each of your staff members can access and support to organise this training through one of our approved training providers, so that your organisation does not spend unnecessary time on administration.
Register your interest in accessing funding for your staff >
How is the funding accessed?
This funding is drawn down through Apprenticeship programmes, but this does not limit the training your staff can receive. Qualifications within this could include optional units covering skills such as customer service, business administration and team leading, as well as more focused areas including training as a Fitness Instructor, Coach or Personal Trainer.
The budget for the 2011/12 academic year has increased by £72m to over £1,400m of funding for Apprenticeships – discover if this could be relevant to your staff.
Unsure how an apprentice could fit into your business?
Read more about Apprenticeships and how they can benefit organisations >
What happens once eligible staff are identified?
SkillsActive will help you understand which Apprenticeship options are best for your business and record your choices. We work to combine the choices of many different organisations so that we can get your staff's funded training started as soon as possible with an approved training provider.
Next Steps
The Funding Eligibility Service is a feature of the support packages available to SkillsActive employer partners.
Discover more about the support packages available >
The Funding Eligibility Service is also a key benefit of working with SkillsActive's Group Training Association (GTA) networks.

Do you understand what an Apprenticeship entails?
Read more about the benefits of Apprenticeships for employers >
Please note: This service is free to SkillsActive employer partners and members of our Group Training Association (GTA) networks – our account managers can tell you more about how SkillsActive can support your business and the benefits of working with us.
*Regional programmes and bursaries are occasionally available; however, the Apprenticeship framework is one of the main ways for individuals to draw down funding for training.
** Eligibility is based upon a number of criteria that relate to an individual's residency, age and prior qualifications. They also need to work at least 16 hours a week in a relevant job role and be paid the national minimum wage for apprentices. Read more facts about Apprenticeships.

Each Sunday, we profile a worker on the job in the Cape Fear region. Today, it's Angie Syphrit, Breast Care Center coordinator.
Age: 42
Employer: Cape Fear Valley Health System
How long have you had this job? Three months
What was your prior job? "I was a chemotherapy nurse in the Cancer Center for 12 years."
Why the switch? "I was looking to do something different in the oncology role, going into the patient navigation role - getting people from one place to the other in the system."
How does that work with your current job? "The main thing that I do is navigate the patents through the system. If someone has something abnormal that comes back on a mammogram, or a diagnostic workup, i get them to biopsy, through radiology or surgery. I guide them through the system in a timely manner, whether it's a good diagnosis or a bad diagnosis. But do it quickly to ease the stress that goes along with it. The other big thing I do is outreach activities, marketing our Breast Care Center."
What qualities does it take to do this job? "Obviously, you have to have compassion. You have to be able to relate to the patient. Luckily I do have that experience so I can answer a lot of questions. I have a history in hospice care as well."
How many cases do you juggle? "I have a lot of open cases, whether it's from an initial referral to a follow up. I probably have a couple hundred, not that I deal with every day but that I make sure I know what's going on and getting them to the next step."
What do you like most about your job? "I enjoy the interaction, making sure the patients are getting through quickly. ... Before, my role was only after diagnosis. Now I have a role before diagnosis, in screening and prevention."
What do you like least? "Obviously when someone comes back and they have a bad diagnosis. That comes with any aspect of health care."
What was your first job? Working in layaway at Rose's on Eastern Boulevard.

Celebrity Feet: Jay-Z – Nike Air Yeezy 2 @ SXSW
March 13th, 2012 by John Kim | 14 comments
Jay-Z was, as usual, the topic of conversation at the 2012 SXSW music festival down in Texas, as he gave the first solo performance of the event while requiring police escorts in and out of the venue. In between songs, Jay-Z gave special notice to the shoes he had on his feet – the Nike Air Yeezy 2; there's no doubt that HOV himself is aware of the looming pandemonium of the Air Yeezy 2 release, as campouts have already begun weeks ago for a sneaker that is currently tentatively scheduled for April 13th. Check out Jay-Z and his Yeezy 2s as well as a video of him talking about the kicks below! via vibe/c-g

Polysix for Reason uses Korg's proprietary CMT (Component Modeling Technology) to precisely model the electronic circuitry of the original analog instruments, capturing the exact sound and parameter response of the originals. In addition to replicating the original sounds, the Polysix software synthesizers also provide a wide range of new functionality for contemporary sound creation, such as 32-voice polyphony (max), up to 16-voice unison settings, and freely assignable external modulation settings.The Polysix programmable six-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer was introduced in 1981. With a full-sounding voice structure, chorus/phase/ensemble effects and performance functions such as chord memory, arpeggiator, and unison, the Polysix became a world-wide hit. Its distinctive string and pad sounds are often heard to this day.In addition to faithfully replicating the sound of the original, the Polysix for Reason also adds enhancements such as 32-voice polyphony (max), up to 16-voice unison (with detune/spread function), flexible external modulation settings, MIDI clock synchronization, and a spread function that adjusts the spaciousness of the effects. This neoteric functionality brings the classic Polysix up to date for use in modern music production. The interface provides reorganized knobs and switches that resurrect the Polysix in a contemporary "rack-mountable" form for even more intuitive operation and sound-creating versatility.Polysix for Reason will be available for download at Propellerhead's web-shop:Price: 49 USD/ 39 EURO.shop.propellerheads.seFor more information about Reason:www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/
