No risk association observed for anthracycline chemotherapy, cognitive decline
New data analyses found no association between anthracycline chemotherapy and greater risk of cognitive decline in breast cancer survivors, according to an article published online by JAMA Oncology.
Possible adverse effects of breast cancer treatment on cognitive function have been acknowledged but the risks of specific chemotherapies remain undetermined.
Patricia A. Ganz, M.D., of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles, and coauthors conducted a secondary analysis of Mind Body Study data to examine the risk of lasting cognitive decline with anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
Breast cancer survivors had baseline neuropsychological evaluations within three months after primary treatments (n=190), at six months (n=173), at one year (n=173) and at an average of 4.8 years after treatment (n=102). The neuropsychological tested picked for the analyses measured memory, processing speed and executive function.
The authors report that cognitive function after cancer treatment in memory, processing speeds and executive function was comparable among those women who received chemotherapy with or without anthracycline and those who did not receive chemotherapy. Over time, cognitive function also was comparable between the groups up to seven years after treatment, according to the study. The authors also note that they did not find an association between anthracycline exposure and neuropsychological performance on any measure they examined.
The authors acknowledge their study results are in contrast to other findings.
"In conclusion, in this study we could not find evidence to support the claim that anthracycline treatment confers greater risk of cognitive decline for breast cancer survivors," the study concludes.

Gathering Hymn:
Prayer of the Day:
Loving God, help us discover your call for our lives. Keep us ever listening and looking for what you are up to in the world. Amen.
First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-18
15Your God, the most high, will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you shall heed such a prophet. 16This is what you requested of your God, the most high, at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: "If I hear the voice of the my God, the most high anymore, or ever again see this great fire, I will die." 17Then the God most high replied to me: "They are right in what they have said. 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put my words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them everything that I command.
L Word of hope, word of life. Thanks be to God
Psalm 111 (read responsively)
1Praise the God Most High! I will give thanks to God with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.
3Full of honor and majesty is God's work, and God's righteousness endures forever.
4God has gained renown by his wonderful deeds; the God most high is gracious and merciful.
5God provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant. 6 God's people have seen power of God's works and have been given the heritage of the nations.
7The works of God's hands are faithful and just; all Gop's precepts are trustworthy.
8They are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9God's people have received redemption; God has commanded the covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is God's name.
10The fear of the God most high is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.
God's praise endures forever.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13
8Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge; 3but anyone who loves God is known by him.
4Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "no idol in the world really exists," and that "there is no God but one." 5Indeed, even though there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords— 6yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
7It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8"Food will not bring us close to God." We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? 11So by your knowledge those weak believers for whom Christ died are destroyed. 12But when you thus sin against members of your family, and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.
L Word of hope, word of life. Thanks be to God
Anthem: WOV #741 Thy Holy Wings Grace Choir
Gospel Reading: Mark 1:21-28
21They went to Capernaum; and when the Sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. 22They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, 24and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." 25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" 26And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, "What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him." 28At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
P The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.
Silence for reflection follows the sermon. The assembly stands to proclaim the word of God in song.
Hymn of the Day: Verses 1-3
Prayers of Intercession
A During this season of Epiphany, we pray for teachers, the wise ones who have mentored us, and for the church, the world and all people in their need. A brief silence.
Creating God, help us repair broken relationships, to clean up our messes and debts and to ask for help when we need it. God in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Parent God, bless all who are parents, the family and staff of the Grace Infant Care Center and all who have created families. Help us to become better at loving and receiving love from others. God in your mercy, hear our prayer.
God, you are the highest authority. Help our civic leaders to bring peace to a war torn world and to care for those who are vulnerable. Be with our bishops Elizabeth and Mark, our pastor Megan and all the staff and leaders of our congregation. Help us to support the work and hobbies of all who worship with us, so that we may draw closer to God in all that we do at work and at home. God in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Loving God, help us to have patience, compassion and listening ears for those who differ from us. Provide healing and hope for those whose minds, bodies or spirits are in need of care. We pray especially for those who care for the sick and support those who are aging. Help us to live and experience as much as we can while we await the day we will be reunited with those we have lost. God in your mercy, hear our prayer.
For whom and what else do the people of Grace pray?
(Please offer - silently or aloud- petitions to God. End spoken petitions with "God in your mercy.")
P Our prayers rise like incense and are held by a loving God who yearns for us to be our best. May we sleep well, worry less, and live convinced that God is on our side. Amen.
The presiding minister and the assembly greet each other in the peace of the risen Christ.
P The peace of Christ be with you always. C And also with you.
The people may greet one another with the sign of Christ's peace, and may say, "Peace be with you" or similar words. Then, the assembly is seated.
An offering is gathered for the mission of the church, including the care of those in need. After the offering is gathered, the assembly stands.
Offering Prayer
A Let us pray. God, bless all that we have to offer. May our financial support match the generosity of our lives. Help us to be good stewards of our financial and emotional investments. Amen.
P It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise . . . we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
P On the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.
The Lord's Prayer
C Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen
Sending Hymn:
A: Go in peace and serve our God.
C: Thanks be to God.
Please join us for coffee and refreshments downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.
To get to the Fellowship Hall, exit to the right of the communion railing at the front of the church.

The government-issued identification "dog tags", which were routinely issued to all soldiers in the First and Second World Wars, were unknown in the Civil War. Soldiers were concerned that their bodies would not be identified in the aftermath of a battle, so they would often pin a piece of paper bearing their name inside their uniform. Later in the War, various merchants and sutlers (itinerant suppliers who followed the armies, selling directly to the soldiers) began to sell tokens which could be stamped with a soldier's name and unit, and perhaps home town. With a hole drilled on one edge, they could be worn on a lanyard around the soldier's neck or attached to his clothing.
Tags like these have recently (July 2007) been sold on eBay for as much as $860.
|Many Civil War tags were made from old coins, stamped with the soldier's name - A.B. Miner's tag at
right is one example of this kind of
tag. (collection of webmaster Mike Brown)
Matt Price, a reader of this website, managed to identify the coin - it's a Spanish two Reale coin, dating from the reign of Charles III (1735-1788).
|The examples below are four tags, stamped "E. J. Efner, Co. I, 76th Reg. N.Y.S.V., Middleburg", "C.H. Smith, Co. K, 76th Reg. N.Y.S.V., Springfield", "Geo. Moore, Co. A, 76th Reg. N.Y.S.V., Virgil", and "A.Boyce, Co. E, 76th Reg. N.Y.S.V., Richfiord" Given that the tags are nearly identical, it's probably safe to assume they were made by the same sutler.
Photos of Erastus Efner's ID disk (above) by Don Chase, who notes, "I bought this tag at an outdoor market in Shupps Grove, PA in 1970 or 1971."
Photo of Charles Smith's tag at left was sent by B. Conrad Bush, who wrote:
The picture of the dog tag was made by Tom Turner, Granite City, Illinois. He had it in his collection as of Feb. 1998. He gave me the picture for my information on who C H Smith was.
|George Moore's dog tag (left) was offered for sale on eBay
in February of 2002 by Robert Fernbacher, who said in the listing:
"The 76th New York saw severe action in support of the Iron Brigade at Brawner's Farm on Aug. 28, 1862. There were 32 men killed and 75 wounded. Capt. Grover and two of the skirmishers were wounded. Private Moore found himself in one of the hottest parts of the Battle of Brawner's Farm when he along with 7 other men were picked by Capt. Andrew Grover to be skirmishers. Capt. Grover's men reached a rail fence about 50 yards ahead of the main line where they could hear the commands of the rebel officers in the distance. The skirmishers shouted back the rebel orders to the main line which in turn got relayed to Gen. Doubleday. The skirmishers were caught in the middle of the rebels and main line with firing coming from both sides. "
An article on Civil War ID tags in America's Civil War (September 2006) by Joseph Stahlin said that "This disk, made by the Scoville Brass Company of New York, was based on the US $10 gold coin of the period." The disk was then in Stahlin's collection, according to the article.

|Dog tag for Corporal Samuel
D. Squires.
Tom Bowen Jr. is the owner of this tag, purchased from Campsite Artifacts. He writes, "It is of the common type - (gold washed eagle "War of 1861") and simply says "Corp. S. D. Squires." He died at Falmouth and this tag was found by a digger in the Falmouth area in 2005.
"Interesting that the letter "p" in CORP is a different die letter and about 1/2 size of the other capital letters. It seems the P in the sutlers die set must have been lost and the tiny "p" was substituted - (this is the size of the "th" in "76th" on the other ID's) It may make identification of future discs more certain, if we see more ones with a small letter P. I looked and none of the existing examples used the letter P."
This dog tag was sold at eBay auction on July 18, 2007, for $861.51.

Pollinating Cherry Tomatoes
At the first sign of those bright, yellow blossoms, so striking against the green vines and leaves, you eagerly anticipate your first cherry tomato of the summer. Before your plant can bear fruit however, pollination needs to take place. Tomato plants do not usually suffer from low pollination rates, but understanding the process and alternative methods may help you boost tomato production.
Tomatoes are self-pollinating, meaning individual flowers contain both the male and the female parts needed for fertilization. Pollen is scattered with great profusion between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is especially true during warm, dry, sunny days. Pollination occurs as the pollen transfers down the pistil, the middle part, of the flower.
Tomato plants "naturally'" self-pollinate, usually through wind movement, although insects, such as bumble bees, frequently aid in the process. As the wind blows through the tomato plants, the shaking of the plants causes the pollen to fall onto the pistil. Natural pollination occurs readily and frequently during low-humidity conditions as the pollen does not become over-sticky.
To encourage or ensure pollination, you can also hand-pollinate your cherry tomato plant. There are several ways to do so. Gently shaking the tomato plant by hand mimics the effects of wind, knocking the pollen down into the pistil. A similar option includes setting up a fan to create artificial "wind." You can also choose to vibrate individual stems of the tomato plant with an electric toothbrush, or, if it's only a few blossoms, gently brush the inside of the flowers with a small, soft paintbrush.
The ideal temperature for setting fruit is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit; lower than 55 F or higher than 75 F, the flowers may not develop proper pollen tubes and the pollen could become sterile. Eventually, the bloom will fall off. If there is too much humidity, the pollen will not shake off onto the pistil as easily or the grains may stick together and lead to poor pollination. With too little humidity, the pollen will become too dry.

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 seconds In this session, we're going to look at genealogy databases. What they are, how they can help you, and some searching strategies. There are a number of these databases online, and they're increasing all the time and available all across the world. In essence they all contain a variety of data sets, and when you search on their site you're actually searching through the records that are contained in each site and see if there are any records matching the information you have input. A future session of the course will explore these in more detail, but this session will give you background on what they are and issues to consider when using them. How can they help you?
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds Well, when you type in your ancestor's name in a search tool, you're looking for any matching records that are contained in the database. For this reason, you should be careful about how much data you enter. If you enter data that does not much exactly what's contained in the database, you might find that you don't have any matching records returned at all, so be careful about that. Less is definitely more when entering data. You've probably seen TV programmes where the researcher sits at a computer, types in their ancestor's name, and hey presto, up comes their birth certificate, marriage certificate, census record, or perhaps even a complete family tree. If only it were as simple as that.
Skip to 1 minute and 52 seconds There's a lot more to do, and a lot of it will depend on your own step-by-step research. Let's have a think about, then, the databases themselves, and what they actually contain. Some have collections of official data, perhaps from government sources or archives. Some have data specific to a geographical area, perhaps a country, a province, a state, or a county. Some have data which is– has been produced or made available in collaboration with data owners, such as archives, family history societies, other various research centres. And others have data which has been collaborated with a series of volunteer efforts in order to collate a whole set of records.
Skip to 2 minutes and 47 seconds Some have data submitted by individual users of the site, and, of course, many of the sites themselves have a collaboration or a combination of all of these. Be aware that some that have the user data may not have official verification, so you do have to be careful about some of the data you find on these sites. How did all the records get here? Well, many of them do come from official sources, but those records themselves also have to be indexed and transcribed before they are digitised, and so you're aware that there could be many errors which have crept in during one or other of these processes. So how can you best use them, and what should you watch out for?
Skip to 3 minutes and 39 seconds On the whole, they will have a variety of searchable fields where you can enter things like surname, forename, year of birth, county of birth, et cetera. You might be looking, for example, for a census record for your ancestor. Some of them are available free, but for others you do have to pay a subscription. And further details of all of these options will be available in a later session. Let's have a look at one of these sites. And the site we're going to have a look at is Findmypast. This contains records from a number of countries.
Skip to 4 minutes and 20 seconds Like a number of sites, it also contains data which have been digitised in– according with licencing agreements with various archives and other record holders. We're going to have a look for Patrick Conway, who was born in Ireland around about 1860. Now, we're going to put his name in the search box, but we're going to put his date of birth within a range. It's possible that you've already discovered that having a specific year of birth in your own information may not be quite the actual date of birth of your ancestor, so it's a good idea to leave a couple of years either side. Let's, then, look for Patrick's birth between 1855 and 1865.
Skip to 5 minutes and 10 seconds And we're going to look for the record sets pertaining to Ireland, which is where Patrick was born. You'll see that we've returned over 3,000 records here– very many of them, an overwhelming amount to choose from. And this is almost always the case if you just type in a name, unless, of course, your ancestor has an unusual name. We do know that Patrick actually moved to the UK as a young boy, and he lived in England and Scotland. So if I refine the search now to look for records held in Britain by choosing Britain on the Country box. You can now you see that I've been given a list of various records, including census information from across England and Scotland.
Skip to 6 minutes and 2 seconds And if I click on the Census box, you can see I can now reduce that number even further by going down and checking just for Census or land records, or refining that even further just to look for census records. This restricts the search for an exact spelling of his name. We haven't used the facilities of this site to look for spelling. We will have a go at doing that in another search later on. Let's, then, look again at user-contributed data, and you can see there that we can have quite a lot of user contributed data, from online family trees, family stories, photographs, and even a whole series of links to, perhaps, some documents or records.
Skip to 6 minutes and 59 seconds This provides you with a huge opportunity to, perhaps, find out other researchers who are researching members of your family, and maybe gives you an opportunity to explore lives and records pertaining to extended members of your own family. Some very large sites have as many as a million family trees. Be aware, however, again as we mentioned, that this is often data submitted by users and doesn't necessarily have any official verification. So let's look at a summary of issues to consider.
Skip to 7 minutes and 41 seconds The coverage of data sets varies on each site. Some do have unique data, but some data sets do appear on more than one site. Often, licencing arrangements with organisations such as archives provide unique access to data sets for a period of time and then are made available after a couple of years, perhaps, to other organisations also. We mentioned earlier, we might look at some strategies to help you with looking for spelling variations of your ancestors' surnames, and one place we're going to have a look at that is within the ScotlandsPeople site. This is an official source of birth, marriage, death, census, and other records pertaining to Scotland.
Skip to 8 minutes and 30 seconds And again, you'll have an opportunity to explore this site in more detail at a later session. Let's have a look, then, for a birth of a person with the surname Tomeny in the period 1855 to 1860. Now, simply pressing Search you can see there we've got three results. Now, I do know that this particular surname has been transcribed in a variety of different spellings and recorded as different spellings over quite a considerable time period. So we're going to use a facility known as a wildcard search to help us to take that research a little bit further, and perhaps uncover some other Tomeny surnames.
Skip to 9 minutes and 19 seconds In this particular case, the use of a wildcard involves the use of the asterisk symbol, and the asterisk symbol stands for one or more letters. So if we choose the option beside the surnames to Wildcards Allowed, and then, instead of typing the surname Tomeny, we're going to type t, asterisk, m, asterisk, ny, and that allows a different– for maybe different vowels between the t and the m– perhaps more than one letter m– and a whole series of variations. And you can see the results when we click on Search. You'll see we've now uncovered 35 possible spellings here, and you can look at the range we've down– we've found just by looking down this search page.
Skip to 10 minutes and 15 seconds So this is a particularly powerful strategy to use and I can recommend the use of the wildcard facility, which is available in most of the genealogy databases. This has been a very quick introduction to genealogy databases, and further details will be explored in future sessions. Some of the main ones are listed on the slide here, but of course there are many others, and perhaps there are others which you've already had some success in using yourself. So I hope you've enjoyed this session and go on further to explore genealogy databases in more detail to support your own research.
Searching genealogy databases
Marie Dougan, a professional genealogist based in Scotland, discusses what genealogy databases actually are and how they work.
Examples are given and we are walked through several aspects of searching and the use of wildcards.
Marie's back ground is in education and in particular the applications of technology to learning. She is currently a tutor on a range of genealogy and family history courses at the University of Strathclyde. Her company Ancestral Consultants provides a range of high quality professional genealogy services, including research, presentations, talks workshops and training courses.

Week review
Here are the key ideas that you must take away from this week:
Data is not enough. It is necessary to use it to develop decision-making models and to foster the empowerment of the citizen. A bi-directional communication with the utility and other consumers to improve the performance of the system as a whole. For instance, to access precise and contextualized information on energy consumption, or to study how to save and boost the distributed energy resources.
Mobility has a very large share in the emission of polluting gases in cities, being a risk factor for the health of the citizens. This is why it is one of the main vectors of change in the energy model. Approaching mobility from a perspective of "guaranteeing the service" rather than "owning the assets" is a growingly consolidated option among citizens, who can also resort to collaborative economy models for the penetration of efficient and electric vehicles.
The active consumer participates directly and in aggregation with his or her peers in the electricity market. A paradigmatic example is the "prosumer", who locally satisfies his or her energy and storage needs, while offering services to the energy and balancing markets. This option is already technically possible in Europe, but the regulatory barrier in some countries is hindering the development of its potential.

Adding yet another post related to Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) REST APIs, I thought I'd cover an example of how to download a file from a Git repo in VSTS using the REST APIs (I will cover TFVC-based repositories in another post). In the example below, I will be using C# to make the API calls. However, you can use whatever approach makes the most sense for you (e.g. JavaScript, PowerShell, etc.).
If you are new to calling the VSTS REST APIs or you are new to this series of articles then I would recommend on clicking the View API Articles link above to get started.
Rather than spend time on how to authenticate with the VSTS APIs or how to deserialize API results into POCOs, I will simply highlight the API necessary to download the file and show some example code for doing it. Again, refer to the previous articles for more information on authentication and deserialization.
To obtain a file stored within a Git repo in VSTS you make use of the items API. The format of this API looks like this:
A real-world example of this API (with variable replacement) might look like this:
In the above example, I am attempting to download a file named ReadMe.md from a Git repo named MyRepo in the project named MyProject.
In C# this URL can be constructed like this (assume the variables are being passed in via a method call):
var url = $"{authentication.AccountUrl}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repo}/items?api-version=1.0&scopePath={fileToDownload}";
With the properly formatted URL we can then make a call to the API using the WebRequest class. For example:
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(address); request.UserAgent = "VSTS-Get"; request.Headers.Set(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, GetAuthenticationHeaderValue(
authentication).ToString()); request.ContentType = "application/json"; request.Method = httpMethod; response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
The GetAuthenticationHeaderValue is simply the Base64-encoded credentials (e.g. Alternate Credentials or a Personal Access Token) that will be used for authentication (refer to the aforementioned articles for more details). Once the call is made in the last line of the above example, we are left with an HttpWebResponse object that can be used to stream the contents of the requested file.
Using the HttpWebResponse object we can obtain a Stream object that we can then use to write out the API results to a local file. For example:
using (var responseStream = GetResponseStream(response)) { var fileName = Path.Get Filename(fileToDownload ?? ""); using (var fileStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(destination, fileName))) { responseStream.CopyTo(fileStream); } }
In the above example, we create a new FileStream object that can be used to save the contents of the Stream object we obtained from HttpWebRequest. In simple terms, we call the items API, use the resulting Stream object to stream the contents of the requested file to a newly created FileStream object to store the contents of the file locally.
The nice thing about this particular API is that it's very simple to implement. There is no need to deserialize the API call into an entity/model. You simply store off the results of the call as a local file.
Also, since this API can be utilized with streams, you make use of other types of streams, such as the MemoryStream, if you don't want to actually store the file on secondary storage.
So, if you have a need to pull one or more files down from a Git repo but don't want to actually make use of Git, you can create a simple C# (or PowerShell, VB.NET, etc.) program to do it for you.
In an up-coming post, I will show how to pull down entire folders. Enjoy!

Kolkata, The City of Joy is known for its rich heritage, scrumptious foodstuff and intellectual gossip (adda). And when it comes to the famous gossip point in Kolkata, how can one skip the name of Coffee House, which stands opposite to the Presidency College at College Street.
Times back when people were not acquainted with some of the sensational brands like Starbucks, Baristas or Cafe Coffee Day, Kolkata Coffee House used to be the preferred meeting place for all intellectuals, revolutionaries and freedom fighters. At that time there was no diversity of flavours like Latte or Cappuccino that most of us relish today with absolute glee. It's been decades now since when the vintage Coffee House in Kolkata has been carrying its long lasting existence with pride.
This write up is an attempt to feel you nostalgic with the popular Coffee House of Kolkata.
An Overview:
Located opposite the Presidency College at College Street, the historic journey of Kolkata Coffee House was initiated way back in 1876 as Albert Hall. Moving ahead in 1942, a coffee joint was incorporated from this Albert Hall, which was further named as the Coffee House by the Central Government in 1947. Later in 1958, the Coffee Board and its Management decided to shutdown this heritage place due to some pecuniary crisis. But after a purposeful initiative from the professors of Calcutta University and Presidency College, the prestigious Coffee House was re-opened in the same year. Thereafter, the place has transformed into a popular hangout hub for the scholars, artists, poets, film makers, singers and many other renowned personalities from various fields of interest. Even today, the same inheritance is sustained here by the people of Kolkata. Starting from college goers to lovebirds, visitors flock the Mecca of Adda for the sake of elongated talking sessions with their buddies.
Standing aloof from 1950s, today if you ask a mainstream Bong veteran about Coffee House, you will get to know the significance of this vintage site, which has witnessed several legendary footfalls and their intellectual talk sessions. Today, the vintage Coffee House of Kolkata is remembered by an eternal song "Coffee House'er Shei Adda'ta Aaj Aar Nei" sung by another legend Late Manna Dey. In English, the song signifies "the gossip days of Coffee House are no longer now".
The Nostalgic Ambience:
Are you a frequent traveller to College Street or are you still in your studies at Presidency College? If you come up with an affirmative response to these questions, Coffee House needs no further figurative introduction to you. Even people from Kolkata who are residing overseas today can't refrain themselves from witnessing the nostalgic ambience of this heritage house. Located near the academic hub of Kolkata, Coffee House still remains a favourite hangout spot for the people of all age.
On entering the Coffee House, you can feel the rich culture of Kolkata. An offbeat blend of captivating paintings, photo frame of Tagore, the majestic walls, marble top tables encircled with chairs, balcony tables and lofty ceiling fan drive you for a sure shot love affair with its nostalgic ambience. Although, some changes are being executed in the overall interior of Coffee House after the renovation, but group of buddies circling the table still let you feel the actual fun of gossip at Coffee House.
Peeping over the first floor balcony tables from your seat in the second floor gives you a wonderful vista of gossipers. If once you used to be a frequent visitor to this place, visiting Coffee House today may revive your old memories. And if you are one of them who have already witnessed the presence of some legendary figures like Amartya Sen, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Manna Dey, Mrinal Sen or any other celebrities, nothing could be as exciting as reviving your nostalgic days at Coffee House. That's why one can say that the real reason to soak here is something beyond just a cup of coffee. For a Bong, spending 2-3 hours talking sessions here is something quite apparent.
Foods that you must try at Coffee House:
Apart from trying a signature sip of coffee, at Coffee House you can also fulfil your gastronomic need with variety of luscious platters. Some of the lip-smacking items here include boiled egg, sandwich, fish, mutton, rice, chicken, fast food, noodles, soup, pakoda, Mughlai Paratha, samosa, cutlet and several other mouth-watering snacks. In addition, a cup of tea or beverage may also make your visit here equally breathtaking.
If your purpose of visit here is merely a cup of coffee, make sure you catch a glimpse over the variety of coffee that are being served here. Some of the commonly tasted coffees that you must try here include hot coffee, hot coffee with cream, cold coffee and cold coffee with cream. One of the most alluring parts of the foodstuffs here at Coffee House is the pocket-friendly charges. By spending an amount of INR 10 to INR 120 one can get a diverse range of eatables here. Be it a sandwich biting breakfast or rice full lunch, Coffee House is an absolute delight for foodies. So, if you are looking for exploring an offbeat heritage site around Kolkata, do pay a short visit to Coffee House.
Visiting Hours:
You can visit here from 9AM-9PM. But as the day progresses, it becomes quite challenging for visitors to find a relaxing space. Starting from local visitors, travellers also flock here from different parts of the country. Hence, the place remains occupied throughout the day by plenty of visitors.
Nearby Attraction:
After spending some spellbound hours at the Coffee House if you look for some classics of Tagore or any academic books, look no further than exploring the book stores at College Street. Being one of the busiest parts of the City of Joy, College Street is best known for showcasing a wide range of books fulfilling the requirements of several bookworms. This place is reckoned as India's largest book market and the world's largest second-hand book market. Apart from boasting an array of books, College Street is equally an appealing site for foodies. A walk around the busy street will glimpse you several food corners where you can spend some delightful moments with your buddies.
How to go:
The popular Indian Coffee House is always a great place for hangout. However, travellers residing outside Kolkata can also reach this place of legacy quite conveniently. If you are travelling by train, the nearest railheads are Sealdah and Howrah station that are located around 2Kms and 5Kms away from the College Street respectively. On the other hand, from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport the distance to reach College Street is nearly 16Kms. From airport and railway station you can easily hire a taxi or cab to reach Coffee House. In addition, one can get into a bus that passes through College Street. Some of the buses on that route are Bus No.2 (Rabindra Sadan-Paikpara), Bus No. L14A (Esplanade-Vidyasagar Samity) and Bus No.L14B (Karunamayee Estate-Esplanade). Adding on to that list, Bus No. L3C, 3D, L16, 46 (Dum Dum) etc. are several other buses that also run through College Street. Besides, you can also hire an auto-rickshaw to reach College Street from some of its adjoining destinations.
So, what are you waiting for? Plunge into the yesteryear's popular Coffee House and experience the prestigious meeting point of Bengal's think tanks. If you are one of them who heard a lot about the Coffee House, but couldn't make it happen to be there in person, plan a short hangout with your biddies now. May be 4-5 years later down the memory line you will also have some incredible moments that will make you feel nostalgic about this spectacular place.
A cup of coffee, group of buddies and some uninterrupted gossip; let's adda!!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The woman who was unknowingly the face of Lennay Kekua says the man who allegedly concocted the hoax confessed to her and said he wanted to end the ruse that had snared Notre Dame star Manti Te'o many times before it unravelled.
Diane O'Meara is the woman whose pictures were used to make an online profile of Kekua, the fake person who Te'o says he fell for online. O'Meara says Ronaiah Tuiasosopo told her that he wanted to end the hoax before Kekua "died" in September, but Te'o wanted the relationship with Keuka to continue.
O'Meara spoke with The Associated Press by phone on Thursday. O'Meara says Tuiasosopo confessed to her that he'd stolen photos from her Facebook profile to create Kekua.

Several sources are now reporting that the "deem and pass" strategy for passing the Senate health care bill out of the House of Representatives is now dead. According to The Hill, "Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), one of the chief deputy whips, Rep. Melvin Watt (D-N.C.), and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), all [confirm] that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) won't use the tactic of deem and pass for healthcare reform."
This followed a heated meeting of the House Rules Committee in which several Democrat members said they could not support the "deem and pass" strategy. "Deem and pass," which has become known as "demon pass" in tea party and conservative circles, is a controversial parliamentary maneuver in which the Senate version of the health care reform bill would be "deemed passed" without a direct vote.
At the same time, tens of thousands of protesters arrived today at Capitol Hill to voice opposition to the health care reform bill. Following a large rally on the West Lawn of the Capitol, the protesters attempted to meet with their congressional representatives. The Washington Examiner is reporting that many of the protesters are being denied admittance to congressional offices.
Shortly afterward, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) announced that House Democrats now believe they have the votes to pass the bill after an agreement with the Senate on changes to be passed separately through the reconciliation bill.

- Published: 26 April 2012
SPRINGFIELD, IL –State Senator Terry Link (D-Waukegan) is urging Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to investigate the hub of violence surrounding Lakeside Towers in Waukegan, Illinois.
"This high rise was originally intended to provide a safe, low income, housing environment for families in the downtown Waukegan community," said Senator Terry Link. "However, over the last decade, the management of the facility has allowed it to deteriorate and unfortunately it has become a hotbed of crime. I believe the last straw for the community was a carjacking gone bad last year that ended in a murder outside of the Lakeside Towers."
Senator Link went on to say that aside from the crime that has occurred in and around the towers, the building itself wither needs to be completely refurbished or torn down. The health and safety of those living at Lakeside Towers should also be a concern to HUD.
Senator Link is urging those impacted by Lakeside Towers to sign his online petition at www.SenatorLink.com calling for a full investigation by HUD. For those who are unable to visit the website, constituents are urged to reach out to his District Office by writing him at 430 South Milwaukee Avenue Lincolnshire, IL 60069 or calling his office at (847) 821-1811.
"I am launching this effort to bring the issues at Lakeside Tower to the attention of HUD, who oversees low-income housing properties throughout the state," said Link. "I am asking everyone in the community to reach out to my office or on my website and tell me their opinions concerning the future of Lakeside Towers."

BARKERS Butts have taken centre Matt Tassell and tight head prop Neil Williams on loan from Rugby Lions to boost their efforts to climb away from the Midlands One relegation area.
Both will play in tomorrow's home game against fourth-placed Luctonians, although their arrival is balanced by the loss of fly-half Barry Silvester (knee ligaments) and hooker Matt Davies (neck) through injury.
Silvester's likely absence for the rest of the season gives Barkers a particular problem at No.10 following the departure of Dave Warwood to Australia.
KENILWORTH have increased options in the pack for their home game against Camp Hill with Paul Whitehurst and Charlie Buckle fit again and new signing Findlay MacMillan ? who has moved from Broadstreet ? also in the running for a squad place.
STRANDED at the foot of the table, Banbury face a ?must win? home game against Hereford tomorrow.
South African prop Henk Hattingh replaces injured coach Martin Hobley while No.8 Rob Cockerton has his first start since returning from injury.
Banbury: Ferguson; Viggers, Noyce, Jackson, Flemming; Purnell, Hurst; Hattingh, Brown, Wilkins, McNally, Chatterton, Cummings, Cockerton, Brooks. Reps: Cartmell, Mascall, Herlihy.
WINGER Paul Bale is back for Newbold?s home game against Newport in Midlands Two West.
Newbold: Leech; P Bale, Conning, Fletcher, Mills; Andrews, Shaw; R Evans, Kirby, R Welsby, S Evans, Reading, W Hare, J Hare, S Bale. Reps; Wooldridge, P Welsby, Bennett.
LEADERS Old Laurentians have No.8 Ian Bowie and flanker Gary Smith back from injury for their home game against Derby.
Old Laurentians: D Wallis; E Wallis, Wraith, McConville, I Wallis; Palmer, Reed; King, Hammond, Chaplow, Willis, Sheriff, Longrigg, Bowie, Smith. Reps; Cleaver, Storey, Marsella.
AUSTRALIAN No.8 Travis Ludbrook makes his first league start for Midlands Two East leaders Hinckley, at home to Huntingdon.
Ludbrook, who played the second half in last week?s win at South Leicester, replaces holidaying Dave Johnson and Gareth Rae takes over at full-back from Neil Harbour for the same reason.
Hinckley: Rae; Lennox, Roy, Dignum, Bennett; Graham, R Massarella; P Massarella, D Massarella, Carvell, Goodall, Stratford, Walton, Ludbrook, W Johnson. Reps: Brittain, Ashfield, Sanderson.
BROADSTREET'S Midlands One game at Longton has been put back to March 23 because of the home side?s involvement in the Intermediate Cup.
Street now travel to Lichfield for a friendly.

"Horror" – what a shapeshifter of a word. We use "horror" to describe a film genre that we associate with Freudian fear and fantasy, buckets of blood, an exaggerated picture of the dark; and yet we can also call race-based state violence a "horror," or watch a TV special about the "horrors" of Black Americans forced to live in rat-infested ghettos. This week I found myself really interested in the multi-faceted uses and interpretations of horror – how do we reconcile the human anxieties we represent with fictionalized atrocities, vs. the real atrocities of human life that manifest in deep fissures of anxiety in society?

MasterBlog: I See Gay People
The specter of lesbianism stalks the periphery of These Three (1936) at every turn. Even though this adaptation of the overtly lesbian dramatic novel The Children's Hour was actually adapted for the screen by the original writer Lillian Hellman, the resulting film stands more as a compelling example of the ham-handed Hays Code than a completely viable text. The character Joe becomes an embodiment of suppression, a substitute for female/female sexuality, a corporeal form behind with the true theme of lesbian love and struggle hides in plain sight. Watching this film is such a strange experience, especially for one familiar with the source material. I could liken it to eating a cake that was made with a cup of salt instead of a cup of sugar, and telling yourself with every bite that the saltiness is SUPPOSED to represent sweetness. As "unnamed and invisible" as lesbian romance and sexuality is in the Code, it finds a weird kind of vitality when male sexual mores attempt to define it, refine it, or erase it. Foucault also touches on this sort of self-defeating mechanism of sexual repression as an act of tamping down "useless energies and the intensity of pleasure."
MasterBlog: Film Noir and Modern Ennui
Is film noir just an artifact, a cinema movement with a beginning and an end? Many modern filmmakers (and showrunners) play with the stylistic conventions of noir as a kind of postmodern exercise – sometimes for the pleasure of pastiche (looking at you, Woody Allen), or maybe to fetishize history (Mad Men occasionally flirts with noir-ness). Personally, I feel a kind of detachment from noir; I read noir works like dated fables about American society. Noir is weird because it's deeply entwined with a certain era of American filmmaking only a couple of decades long, and there's a temptation to compartmentalize it. Though noir films work through the issues of a broken society and American (masculine) identity – issues that surely exist in infinite complexity in 2015 – could we still work within it as a relevant genre?
MasterBlog: The Black Female Subject
I find that Foucault's characterization of the Panopticon – the surveillance-based system of imprisonment and self-discipline originally postulated by Jeremy Bentham – can be applied in a million fascinating ways to film analysis. Panopticism, essentially, ensures that a subject is constantly contained in a state of paranoia and behavioral self-regulation as she can never be sure if she is being watched and/or measured up for some kind of punishment by the authority (sometimes the state apparatus).
The black female subject often operates under a kind of cultural panopticism. Her body, as a site of intersection between racial and gender identity, is under scrutiny; however, as a subject, she is hard-pressed to find a context in which she may hold the power of the gaze (or indeed even find a media representation of herself which removes the specters of patriarchy and white supremacy, and allows her a complex, private internal world).
MasterBlog: Voice, Sound, Ownership and Intimacy
I've come to organize my ideas on sound (and how we hear) into two lines of thought: that pursuing pleasure through sound is an active mechanism, and pursuing truth through sound is an automatic mechanism that is constantly confronted. Of course, sensual pleasure and truth/positive identification are related, but like Freud says, they arise separately and are later conflated. I'll get to truth later, but first I wanted to engage the concept of aural pleasure.
MasterBlog: The Cinematic Apparatus
I've decided to start posting some of my work as I happily plod my way through the Masters in Cinema & Media Studies program at UCLA. It'll be a lot of dense theory mixed with my usual manic fangirl stuff. I'll list all my references, films, TV, etc at the bottom. Enjoy!
At first glance, Christian Metz's analysis of the cinematic apparatus appears to engage Lacanian psychoanalytic theory in a straightforward way; he begins with the child conceiving of himself (and all that makes him human and corporeal and cognizant) through gazing at his own reflection in a mirror. But the amount of "perceptual wealth" that Metz describes in audiovisual media, particularly film, requires an apparatus with far more nuance than the child's first mirror. Metz really deconstructs the very nature of watching fiction in "The Imaginary Signifier: Psychoanalysis and Cinema" – and the important distinction which serves as a jumping-off point is that the viewer (unlike the child) identifies himself as the character, not the spectator. S/he not only views a film as a passive appreciator – like a museum-goer – s/he essentially jumps in, seeing her/himself within the action of the world and seeing him/herself seeing the film. Metz' audience is hyperaware of filmic fiction's need for an audience, to function and to be comprehensible. "At every moment, I am in the film by my look's caress."

Lorenzo Insigne's agent has denied claims that Arsenal have made a move to sign his client.
Reports in England suggested the Gunners were ready to make a £20m bid for the 23-year-old winger, who was a member of Italy's World Cup squad in Brazil.
"We have not been contacted by Arsenal for Lorenzo Insigne and Napoli has not notified us of this interest," Insigne's agent Fabio Andreotti said to Italian radio station Radio Crc.
"Lorenzo is a target of several European sides so it wouldn't surprise me if big clubs are interested in him.
"However, Napoli don't want to put him in the market."
Insigne scored eight goals in all competitions for Napoli last season as Rafa Benitez's men finished third in Serie A to secure Champions League qualification.
He scored twice in a 3-1 win over Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia final.
The Naples-born player is under contract with Napoli until June 2017.

Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar is considering setting more ambitious unemployment targets after the latest figures from the CSO showed a further significant fall in unemployment in the last 12 months.
"Today's CSO figures show that unemployment has dropped from 8.4% in February 2016 to 6.6% this month. That's a drop of 36,200 people on the live register in the space of a year," Minister Varadkar said.
"This is really encouraging, but I think it also represents an opportunity for the Government to be even more ambitious in its plans. That's why I'm considering more ambitious targets for driving down unemployment.
"The current Government target is to achieve an unemployment rate of 6% by the end of 2020, and a long-term unemployment rate of 2.5%. I am now considering revising these downward, or bringing the target date forward from 2020, and have asked my officials to consider options.
"Ireland still faces significant risks such as Brexit and the rise of anti-globalisation politics in some countries. Nevertheless, unemployment continues to fall rapidly."

Oleg Benesch's "Inventing the way of the Samurai" is a seminal, scrupulously researched work that teems with ideas. Its content is profoundly relevant to current political developments in Japan, as questions about the Constitution and the nation's identity come to the fore.
294 pages
Oxford University Press, Nonfiction.
Benesch begins by debunking the misconception that modern theories of the Bushido samurai code began with Nitobe Inazo's "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," published in English in 1900. In fact, the word "Bushido" first surfaced in Japanese essays during the late 1880s and early 1890s. Intellectuals as distinguished as Yukichi Fukuzawa (whose face adorns the ¥10,000 note) offered his musings on Bushido before Nitobe ever put pen to paper.
Bushido reached its first apogee with the upsurge in national confidence following Japan's success in the Sino-Japanese (1894-5) and Russo-Japanese (1904-5) wars. Benesch charts its relative decline in intellectual discourse during the Taisho Era (1912-26) before its fateful linking with military education from the 1930s onward.
In the '80s, Bushido enthusiasts pushed for a return to the less-militaristic version of the code and, with hardly a pause for breath, it was back in vogue, eulogized by sports coaches and business leaders.
Benesch sees the vagueness of Bushido — the way it can switch from a fixation with the Emperor to a devotion for one's group and superior — as the key to its survival. His book is an essential guide to this crucial aspect of Japan's intellectual history.

If you are craving for good Chinese food, you do not have to travel far just to satisfy it. Right here in Cavite is a nice restaurant serving authentic Chinese food for a reasonable price.
King Bee is located in CEPZA Bacao, Cavite. From Noveleta proper, we took a 10-min. tricycle ride for P50 flat rate. Once you see the huge CEPZA gate, which you will not miss, look for the King Bee logo at the right side of the road and you're in for some Chinese fix.
Interior is of course Chinese inspired, with matching Chinese collared servers. The place is not crowdy too, considering it's a Saturday night. As soon as we seat, we have been given the menu and they promptly took our orders.
We started with some hot tea to warm up our tummies while waiting for the food to be served. After about 15 minutes, we're ready to eat! 🙂
Our choice of food for tonight are Yang Chow Rice (small), Pork Siomai (P80), Fried Dumplings (P90) and King Bee Crispy Chicken (half @ P250) plus a bottomless Iced Tea. I can't remember how much the drinks and rice cost, but total tab was P800. Their menu also has a vast selection of Chinese cuisine from pork, beef, chicken to noodles, rice and dimsum.
Their Yang Chow rice was really good, and can serve up to 4. Siomai is also big and served in a wooden dimsum steamer, which makes it more authentic. The dumpling is also nice and chicken has very crispy skin and tasty meat. Price was justified with how the food was well presented and tasted good.
I recommend this restaurant, whether you are celebrating an occasion or just want to have a good meal. Only downside, they don't have wifi. But I will still come back anytime! 👍😁

Students who are challenged by physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral or trauma induced conditions can experience profound benefits from making music. Singing and playing an instrument can be adapted for any child. Autism students flourish! Yet these special students are often excluded from music in order to meet with specialists- or because their special day class is left out. Please help us prepare and equip 50 K-5 teachers to bring music to their special needs students every day!
Special ed students deserve full access to music instruction, adaptive use of instruments and music technology and supportive teaching, but they rarely get this. Special needs students are often left out of the arts. To turn this around, please help us give instruments, equipment and teacher training in music leadership so each student can discover his or her unique abilities and gifts and can experience more self expression and joy in learning. Help special learners succeed through music!
This project will give special education teachers the chance to work together, learn techniques of music leadership with individualized instruction, developing strong musical skills, and support each other to reach all of their students every week with guitar, ukulele, singing and movement for learning, health and social and emotional well-being. 50 teachers will reach 1000 students with hands on musical learning each day! The project will supply their classrooms with musical instruments, too!
This project will help teachers instill a life-long love of learning together & making music for a part of the K-8 community that is often forgotten when it comes to music. We believe based on research and our first explorations, we'll nurture happier, more engaged and successful students who learn to put a new "foot" forward, discovering their creativity and feeling joy in the learning process. Becoming music makers can help our special students shine socially, emotionally & academically, too.

Last night Anchorage residents experienced extremely high winds resulting in tree loss and structural damage to homes, but the distribution was erratic. Andy Dickson is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Anchorage. He says wind measurement equipment along Turnagain Arm and Glen Alps failed shortly after 6:00 p.m. Tuesday evening but there were dramatic citizen accounts mixed in with the official record.
"We have received unofficial reports as high as upwards of 130 miles per hour on the hillside, but I would stress that those are unofficial at this time. We are attempting to confirm those, but we have not yet. In terms of official observations, the highest we recorded was 88 miles per hour along McHugh Creek, and that was 5:50 p.m. Similarly, 75 miles per hour near Potter Marsh," Dickson said.
Dickson says the highest gust in the city itself was 63 miles per hour recorded at the port shortly after 10:00 p.m.
"Widespread 40 to 50 mile per hour winds everywhere from the western Aleutians through the eastern Aleutians, southwest mainland and much of southcentral, including Anchorage, but Anchorage in terms of impacts and unusual winds, the winds that we experienced here last night in Anchorage were definitely the most notable and newsworthy," Dickson said.
Dickson says there's been nearly half an inch of rain so far, but there are no flooding concerns. He says the high wind warnings were only issued for Anchorage, Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley, but winds affected the entire Aleutian chain and parts of Southwest Alaska.
As of this evening thousands of people in Anchorage are still without power.
Anchorage Municipal Light and Power is working to restore service to their customers but the company does not have the ability to track how many residents are affected or where the outages are.
The Matanuska Electric Association says 3,000of its customers don't have power.
Chugach Electric reports that about 5,000 customers are still without power in their service area, which is mostly on the Hillside.
All the power companies are asking customers to call and report their outage if it hasn't been taken care of yet, and they all say crews will work throughout the night to restore power.

The village pub is a vital centre or hub of community life, but it can also provide essential services beyond the usual drinks, food or entertainment.
In a nutshell
'The Pub is the Hub' is an organisation of specialist voluntary advisors for rural pubs and licensees who are thinking of broadening their range of services. The group works with and encourages good licensees, communities, pub owners, breweries, local authorities and the private sector to work together to match community priority needs with additional services which can be provided by the local pub and a good licensee.
How it works
For centuries, the local pub has been at the heart of village life. However, many struggle to thrive and 100s of rural pubs close each year. 'The Pub is the Hub' works with publicans, landlords and licensees to expand and diversify the services and facilities offered by village pubs in an attempt to increase footfall and strengthen the position of the pub in the community. In some cases, the community may take over the pub and run it as a community facility, but the preferred solution is for the pub to continue as a viable business providing a range of community services in addition to its traditional offer. Pubs have the potential to offer so much more than drinks and food, with their 7-day-a-week opening hours, they can provide:
- Leisure facilities – darts, pool, skittles, short mat bowls or boules in the garden
- Arts and cultural venues – music, cinema, entertainments and exhibition spaces
- Local history centres
- Venues and meeting facilities for local groups
- Cooking facilities for voluntary meals on wheels services
- Lunch and afternoon tea clubs for the elderly
- Memory cafes
- IT hubs and computer skills centres
- Retail outlets for local producers
- Post offices and parcel collection hubs
- Contact centres for the public services including the Police, NHS and the Council
- Book exchanges
- Mobile catering for village events
- Tourist information centres and accommodation providers
- Start and finish points for walks and cycle rides
What is special about this project
Access to services in rural areas can be difficult, particularly for those living on lower incomes. Having a local hub in the village pub offering a range of activities and facilities can make all the difference.
How you can replicate this project where you live:
- Establish local need – what gaps exist in local service provision?
- Talk to 'The Pub is the Hub' and your local licensee about what may be possible
- Identify whether local funding might be available
- Identify local volunteers and organisers
- Support and promote the scheme once it is up and running

Course content
The School of Psychology at the University of Surrey was the first in the world to establish an MSc in Environmental Psychology in 1973. This course is still one of just a few such postgraduate programmes worldwide, and the only one in the UK. We have a reputation for developing professional and innovative programmes that reflect contemporary societal concerns and employment opportunities.
We're one of the most active and highly regarded psychology departments in the UK, and specialise in applied and policy-oriented teaching and research within a strong theoretical context.
We're the largest provider of postgraduate psychology training in the UK, and one of the highest ranked schools in the country for graduate employability. We've also been the centre for many cross-national studies, and attract funding from major research councils and local and national government departments.
Our MSc Environmental Psychology course will give you a thorough grounding in the theories, methods and practice of environmental psychology. You'll develop the skills and confidence you need to take on environmental psychology research in a professional setting. This course emphasises the application of psychology to real-world problems, and also considers issues related to professional practice in preparation for your career as a professional psychologist.
Environmental psychology is a multidisciplinary research activity. We're driven by psychological theories and methodologies, but draw on other social sciences, as well as the disciplines of environment and design. We investigate environment behaviour relationships at every scale, from personal space and office design, through to neighbourhood renewal, to the public understanding of global climate change. We have long-established links with national and international academic institutions, and you'll be able to take advantage of these links in your research.
When you join us you'll become part of our Environmental Psychology Research Group (EPRG), which has an international reputation for fundamental and applied research built over 30 years.
You'll become involved in the research life of our School through active participation in our research groups, attending research seminars and, where possible, being attached to one of our ongoing research projects. As a student of the School of Psychology, you'll also be able to attend a number of conferences, seminars and workshops hosted throughout the year.
