So glad that the library accepted my book request! Can't wait to read this!
A true crime story of a mother who attempted to get rid of her kids because she believed that the man she was obsessed with would want her more if the kids were gone. I think this story would've been more horrific, would've had more of an impact on a reader when this was first published. Readers really would have been thinking "How could a mother do that to her own children?!" Today it's not that uncommon of a story, tv dramas have covered it many times. I'm not sure whether readers in the 80s would've been fooled, but without reading the back cover description and never having heard of the case I was immediately suspicious of Diane. Her affect at the hospital when she first brought her children in immediately said to me "All is not as it seems with this woman.".
The thing that most shocks me actually is the willingness with which the men at the Chandler post office are ready to put their marriages on the line just for a quick fling with Diane. At one point Rule says that Diane's plan was to sleep her way through all the married men at the Chandler post office branch. The way Diane said it made it seem as if the men had no say in the matter, as if as soon as they saw her and she made her invitation it was a foregone conclusion. What's wrong with these men?! The whole situation brings to mind Jedi mind control and the idea that Jedi mind control only works on the weak-minded.
For a moment there I started to think that maybe Diane didn't personally shoot her kids, that maybe she had a 'bushy-haired' accomplice. The fact that Christie remembered the 'man' coming around from the boot of the car, where Lew last saw Diane's guns. The fact that the gun has gone so completely missing. The fact that Diane's car was seen driving at a snail's pace along the road where she said the shooting happened, an action which I think means that she was driving slowly while waiting for her accomplice to turn up at the pre-arranged location. All these clues lead me to think that Diane was working with a 'bushy-haired man' who took the gun with him after he'd shot the kids. If Diane had done the shooting herself I don't see how she could've managed the whole thing within the time frame - she had to get rid of the gun in a seemingly undiscoverable place, she had to either wash her hands of any gun powder or get rid of the gloves she would've had to have been wearing to protect herself. Even then she couldn't've been sure that she hadn't gotten it on her clothes, so I just don't see how she could've been the only one involved in the crime.
What an interesting woman, and by interesting I mean batsh*t crazy, though not in a 'raving lunatic' clinical diagnosis type of way (doctors said she had numerous personality disorders, but was definitely sane), crazy in the way that she must have been crazy to believe that she could murder her kids and get away with it and crazy to think that all she needed to do to get 'Lew' back for good was to eliminate her children from the picture.
I looked Diane up on Wikipedia this morning and listened to Diane's second parole board hearing in 2010, she sounds even more confused about what the 'true' story is than ever. She gave the parole board her story of what happened the night of the shootings and it's considerably different from the two different stories that were related in this book. She discussed having a boyfriend, who had never been mentioned before, who claimed to work for the FBI; she said that the reason she and the kids went out that night was to pick up photos for this boyfriend; she made a slip when she said that the gunman had jumped in the car in order to shoot the children (previously she had said that the gunman was outside of the car with her when the children were shot). I don't think you can trust anything this woman says, about anything.
I'm glad to read that she's still in jail and that as of 2010 she will not be eligible for parole for another 10 years.

The tax advantages of classing your property as a Furnished Holiday Let
Those whose rental properties are in areas with a demand for holiday accommodation may find that a furnished Holiday Let is a more tax efficient alternative to buy-to-let properties.
As a result of the changes to tax relief on interest payments for buy to let properties, many landlords look for ways to improve the tax efficiency of their investments. Those whose rental properties are in areas with a demand for holiday accommodation may find that a furnished Holiday Let is a more tax efficient alternative to buy-to-let properties.
But how do you know if your property is a Furnished Holiday Let (FHL)? An FHL is a separate category of buildings that stands apart from residential and commercial properties as HMRC deems FHLs as a trade. If a property qualifies as FHL, it attracts certain taxes and enjoys several tax benefits. Following are the criteria that must be fulfilled for a property to qualify as FHL.
To qualify as a FHL the property must be:
- in the UK or in the European Economic Area
- furnished there must be enough furniture provided for normal occupation and visitors must be entitled to use it
- meet the occupancy tests (see below)
The property must be commercially let (i.e. you must intend to make a profit) and, if you let the property out of season to cover costs but didn't make a profit, the letting will still be treated as commercial.
There are three occupancy tests and all three need to be met for a property to qualify as an FHL. For a continuing let, apply the tests to the tax year – 6th April to 5th April the following year. For a new let, apply the tests to the first 12 months from when the letting began and again for the 12 months up to when the letting finished.
How to know know if a property is a Furnished Holiday Let
1. The pattern of occupation condition
If the total of all lettings that exceed 31 continuous days is more than 155 days during the year, this condition isn't met so your property won't be a FHL for that year.
2. The Availability Condition
Your property must be available for letting as furnished holiday accommodation letting for at least 210 days in the year.
3. The Letting condition
You must let the property commercially as furnished holiday accommodation to the public for at least 105 days in the year.
The advantages of a Furnished Holiday Let
Furnishing your property can be tax redeemable
Capital allowances can be claimed on your FHL property. This means the cost of furnishing your cottage to a luxury standard (and in return, increasing your potential rental income) can be deducted from your pre-tax profits. This isn't an option available for long-term rental properties.
Make pension contributions
Income generated from an FHL property is classed as 'relevant earnings' – this means you can make tax-advantaged pension contributions.
When you sell your property
If you should come to sell your FHL property, you are able to claim certain Capital Gains Tax (CGT) reliefs. These are unavailable to long-term rental properties and include:
- Entrepreneur's Relief
- Roll-over Relief
- Hold-over relief
Split the profits between your husband/wife
With long-term rental properties, profits would be distributed according to the official ownership split (e.g. If you owned 50% of the property, you would share 50% of the profits). With an FHL property, you can portion the profit to everyone's beneficial interest in the property or by reference to the actual work done in letting the property, where there is sufficient evidence to support this.
Mortgage Interest Relief
The biggest bonus of all is that mortgage interest is fully deductible. Unlike other residential property letting, which currently has a restriction against how much you can claim relief for.
Disadvantages of a furnished holiday let
Like all holiday accommodation, if the turnover from your FHL property portfolio exceeds the VAT threshold (currently £85,000), you will need to become VAT-registered.
Losses from an FHL or other property businesses cannot be offset against other income, instead these losses are carried forward and offset against future profits. These losses can accumulate and be carried across multiple years.
Work involved
There is more day-to-day work involved with these as you must monitor the days that is let for, ensure you advertise and fill it for the required days. This takes a lot of time and effort.

Why Every A&P Mechanic Especially Avionic Technicians should seek the General Radio Operator License (GROLadmin
Nowadays aircraft are becoming technologically advanced with electronic integrated mechanical components. Airframe and Powerplant certification (A&P) mechanics can not limit themselves by strictly working within the scope of the A&P and not considering the value of the additional certifications. Additionally, avionic technicians should also learn the A&P mechanical components so they are multi-faceted team members in any aviation company. Today's small to mid-size aviation businesses can't afford to pay two different type of technicians.These companies cut costs by hiring employees that hold multiple certifications or licenses. An aircraft technician who obtains the A&P and GROL will become a valuable team member and improve their career opportunities.
An A&P mechanic which also holds a GROL will look favorable and this strategy should get your resume moved to the top, filtering out any competition without these credentials. Obtaining these licenses also shows the employer that you can dedicate your drive to a certification plan to gain required industry knowledge. Drive, dedication and commitment are the type of personality traits employers seek when looking to build a great team.
Avionic technicians should seek to get licensed in GROL or any other related certification in their field. In order to stay competitive, many of these technicians are also seeking the A&P. Avionics technicians are some of the highest paid maintainers in the aviation industry when they hold a GROL and an A&P. You can still get great job as a civilian military contractor and not need either license to apply for these positions. Although personally, I wouldn't take the chance of being passed up by someone that took the time get get either license. In stark contrast to military contracts, many civilian companies require that a candidate obtain both before being able to submit an application.
If you are currently serving in the Armed Forces it is wise to obtain these licenses with tuition assistance from any of the AFCOOL, NAVYCOOL or ArmyCOOL benefits. The military offers many opportunities to obtain training, testing and certifications that directly translate to the civilian sector. If you currently work on military aircraft, you know our latest aircraft are fly-by- wire and even the older aircraft are being upgraded with new technology. The longer the government keeps these aging aircraft around, they will continue to upgrade avionics and mechanical components through modifications and upgrade packages. Everything you learn maintaining existing military aircraft prepares you to take a quick refresher course and easily pass licensing exams. An aircraft mechanic just needs some basic knowledge of electronics and radar to obtain the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) GROL. All the training was provided at tech school and simply needs a little dredging to resurface to the top of memory.
Maintenance supervisors should encourage their troops to pursue certifications while the education benefits still exist. Any service member will tell you education benefits change as often as the uniforms do, don't let great benefits you deserve go unused. Even if you feel these licenses aren't for you, please help your fellow service members and allow them to take or pass on the opportunity. To learn more about the GROL go to What is the FCC GROL

Seas of fire-colored red, orange and yellow sand dunes occupy the arid terrain of southwestern Libya. Most of the dunes visible here are draa dunes (from the Arabic for "arm"), very large masses of sand separated by flat basins containing little sand.
The sandy area in the bottom right quadrant is part of the Murzuq Desert, a primarily erg desert that is considered part of the Sahara desert complex, although it is separated from the southern Sahara by the Tibesti Mountains and the Tassili n'Ajjer.

In today's society it can be hard to eat healthy foods. With all the cheap junk food in the grocery store it feels impossible to stay on track with a good diet. Everyone knows that eating healthier will lead to you feeling much better as well as looking better. It can improve your skin and will definitely make you leaner. Eating healthy foods will even make you more productive! Healthy eating doesn't have to cost a ton either; it can be done on a budget. I'll show you how with these five tips.
1. Avoid the middle of the grocery store
By avoiding the middle of the grocery store you will be dodging a ton of the junk food. Most of the processed stuff sits in boxes in the middle of the food store. By shopping mainly in the middle of the store you are not getting the most bang for your buck either. Face it, junk foods may make you feel full for a good ten minutes but after that you're starving again. Stick to the outer isles for healthier alternatives.
2. Look in fliers for deals
All the grocery stores are competing with each other and that works out great in your favor. The deals change every week so you have to look every time you go shopping. Sales usually start on Sundays and Mondays in my area. It may be different in yours. Make sure you find out! You should alter which stores you shop at based on the stuff you like to eat and what they have on sale. I eat mostly meat so I usually shop at the store with the best chicken and steak prices. You might be a vegetarian and not eat meat. Figure out what you eat the most and shop at the store that has that item on sale.
3. Clip Coupons
Get your Sunday paper and clip the coupons! I can't stress this enough! I used to be a telemarketer and my job was to sell newspaper subscriptions. The main selling point was always to make sure you tell the potential customer how much they could save by clipping coupons. It was always more than the price of the newspaper and I never realized how true it was until I actually started doing this. A Sunday newspaper is definitely a good investment. Also, going hand in hand with clipping coupons, you can also go to hallmark and pick up a book called the entertainment guide. This book contains TONS of coupons for going out to eat to all different types of restaurants. You can pick this up for like twenty bucks but it is worth every penny. If you're healthy eating you can even hook your friends up with the coupons to the fast food restaurants.
4. Shop wholesale
Go get a membership to a store like BJ's or Costco. It's only like fifty dollars a year and it is well worth it. The deals they have in those types of places are the best. They also seem to have the best quality steaks and milk as opposed to regular supermarkets. I use BJ's and I really like them. Definitely don't be put off by the membership fee, it will pay for itself.
So you see shopping for healthy foods can be easy and painless. Use these tips to make your wallet a little fatter and your stomach a little thinner. I hope this helped!

The Battle of Lorshan Pass was the first large-scale battle of the Summertime War, and one of the last confrontations of the conflict. It resulted in a humiliating defeat for the Balawai militia at Lorshan Pass, although at a high cost of the Korunnai Upland Liberation Front. The Battle of Lorshan Pass was won mostly due to a risky, strategic maneuver by Jedi Master Mace Windu.

"Do you remember that old movie where they all got into the submarine and got shrunk and then went into the body?" says Elvis Costello, when asked about his current tour. "The show's kind of like that — an incredible journey." Costello has put together a seven-piece band — including Attractions drummer Pete Thomas and guitarist Marc Ribot — for the tour, which also includes an acoustic set. Costello says his tour is unlike anything else going on this summer. "I don't want to be immodest about it," he says, "but I think it's really worth seeing. It's something different, but at the same time it's not some wig-out. It's done with a lot of heart. If you want a nostalgia experience, there's probably at least a dozen of those bands out this summer. But you won't see this again. It would be a shame if the big spectacle shows sucked all of the life out of the rest of the scene this summer."

My 21 days vacation in the Philippines were not solely spent on shopping, going around, partying and having fun watching movies, I also make it a point to look after my house. What needs to be fixed, cleaned and organized. I guess, I have said it a number of times in the past that I hate clutters. I'm not saying that I am a super organized person but I make it a point that everything in the house are properly kept and stored and that everything is in proper order.
I'm sure most Moms would agree that the thing that we hate most is finding something that we urgently need at a particular time but we couldn't find where this thing was stored and we ended up wasting the whole afternoon searching for it where in fact we can avoid such thing from happening should we had been a little bit more organized. I didn't have the luxury of time to do everything that needs to be done during my short vacation but at least I've managed to purchase some storage bins to start getting organized. I always declutter the house every time I'm home and those that were sitting on the cabinets and shelves for a long time are being sorted out and my relatives and house helper were normally the recipients of some "hand me downs" such as clothes, shirts, books, toys, bags and shoes. I am in fact "hitting two birds in one stone". I get to organize the house, and at the same I can help others by giving these things that might still be of use to them.
I wouldn't stop there. I would be planning for more organization activities at home on my next vacation.

DIY: unusual plant locket
Create living memories
There's a locket round your neck with a photo of your loved one, your offspring or maybe even your beloved pet. Sometimes you find yourself playing with the locket's clasp and sometimes, when you're travelling or waiting for the bus, you open the pendant and get lost in the eyes of that special somone. It warms your heart, even on dreary autumn days. Give your locket a (temporary) upgrade with flowers and plants - to lend a bit of cachet on a grey day.
What you need
Locket (if you don't already have one)
Flowers and plants (craspedia, eucalyptus, blackberry)
Thin wire
Photo glue
Optional: fishing line
Get to work
Select flowers and leaves which combine well together from your autumn bouquet to complement the locket. We opted for yellow craspedia, mysterious-looking eucalyptus and blackberry - a seasonal favourite. These can be easily secured using a thin wire, available from craft shops. To keep the stems in place, fix them with a couple of drops of photo glue. If you don't have any wire or photo glue, fishing line is another option for tying things together.

Thorned limbs catch me in a vicious embrace. One hundred thorns for each small cluster of simple blood-red blossoms.
Frustrated, I remove those thorny canes, avert my eyes from the tiny fallen flowers, and begin excavations.
But you hold fast to the earth. You hold fast.
I sit beside you, then with you.
My own thorns and flowers — one hundred thorns for each small cluster of simple blossoms — become present.
I sigh, replace the soil, and clear the remaining weeds from your base.

A US-led campaign to ban cloning of human embryos, including for stem cell research, has crumbled after a divided United Nations prepared to abandon the initiative.
"The bottom line is that stem cell research will advance. This declaration will not chill stem cell research," Florida solicitor Bernard Siegel said on Friday.
Siegel led a lobbying drive by scientists and patient-advocacy groups to defend cloning for therapeutic ends.
In an agreement reached late on Thursday, backers and foes of the three-year drive by the Bush administration agreed to ask the UN General Assembly's treaty-writing legal committee to drop its consideration of a treaty on the issue.
Opponents of the US plan said the agreement showed that a majority of the 191 UN member-nations wanted to keep the door open to therapeutic cloning, in which human embryos are cloned as part of research such as stem cell studies.
Support for research
Friday's committee action fell a little over two weeks after US elections in which stem cell research was an issue.
"The bottom line is that stem cell research will advance. This declaration will not chill stem cell research"
Bernard Siegel,
Opinion polls showed strong support for such studies, and the US Congress has so far shunned President George Bush's pleas for a tough law that bans therapeutic cloning.
But Bush has on his own restricted the use of federal money for stem cell research, allowing US funding only for studies on embryonic stem cell batches that existed as of August 2001.
France and Germany first proposed a UN treaty banning human cloning in 2001, but the issue has been bottled up ever since over whether a treaty should also ban the cloning of human embryos, as Washington insisted.
The US says this is the taking of human life.
Hope for cure
But many nations fought to exclude therapeutic cloning from the ban. Scientists say the technique holds out the hope of a cure for an estimated 100 million people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes and spinal cord injury.
Under the agreement reached on Thursday, the legal committee was poised to adopt a resolution instructing a working group to meet in February for talks on a political declaration proposed by Italy as a face-saving compromise.
Rome proposed the assembly issue a non-binding statement calling on nations to adopt laws "to prohibit any attempts to create human life through cloning processes and any research intended to achieve that aim".
While proponents of embryonic stem cell studies had problems with the term "human life", they agreed the text could form the basis of future negotiations, diplomats said.

You don't need 3000 thread count sheets to get the perfect night's sleep (although that would feel incredible). With some minor adjustments to your sleep environment you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Here's four simple ways to make your bedroom more sleep-friendly.
Televisions, laptops, mobile phones, tablets. Sure, they're entertaining in bed, but they're also enemy no.1 when it comes to getting some shut-eye. Watching tv, sending an email or checking Facebook not only intrude on time we should be spending asleep, but keep our minds abuzz. Shut down about an hour before bed so your brain can unwind and relax into a deep sleep.
1.03am. 1.57 now. CRAP 2.46! I'm never falling asleep. Clock watching induces anxiety with a capital A. And, cruelly, panicking about missing out on sleep makes falling asleep even harder. So you don't get caught up in this viscous cycle of worry, face the clock the other way before you go to bed. If you happen to catch a glimpse of the time, relax and distract yourself by taking long deep breaths and focus on loosening your muscles from the tips of your toes up to your shoulders and neck.
Create a soothing environment by ensuring your bedroom is clean, quiet, dark and slightly cool. If you live in a high traffic area, white noise machines or sound apps can take the edge off. And whilst it's tempting to snuggle in a warm room, the temperature should remain between 18 to 23 degrees.
Reserve your bedroom for the two S's: sleeping and sex. By banning all other activities (reading a book, eating, using your phone) you'll subconsciously influence your ability to fall asleep when you're in the room.
Torin loves all things about the bedroom and given that we spend a third of our lives in bed, it's therefore all the more crucial that our bedroom should be as beautiful – and practical – as possible.
At Sleeping Duck we're committed to providing the best night sleep possible.Customise now
Hatched in 2014, Sleeping Duck was founded by Melbourne-based engineers Winston Wijeyeratne and Selvam Sinnappan. Frustrated by the expensive, tedious, and confusing process of buying a bed, the duo took on the mattress industry.Read the story

Each year, 311 — New York City's main hub for government information and non-emergency services — receives millions of requests and complaints, including New Yorkers' gripes about their neighbors.
Recent research has shown that racial segregation in the U.S. is declining between neighborhoods, but a new study indicates that segregation is manifesting itself in other ways — not disappearing.
Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
This study examines whether working with a broker increases or reduces the payment received for the last client among female sex workers. Building on research on the informal economy and sex work, we formulate a positive embeddedness hypothesis, expecting a positive association, and an exploitation hypothesis, expecting a negative association. We analyze a large survey combined with intensive interview data on female sex workers in Andhra Pradesh, India. These data uniquely distinguish between the amount the sex worker actually received and the amount the client paid.
Lawyers keep the gates of public justice institutions, particularly through their roles in formal procedures like hearings and trials. Yet, it is not clear what lawyers do in such quintessentially legal settings: conclusions from past research are bedeviled by a lack of clear theory and inconsistencies in research design. Conceptualizing litigation work in terms of professional expertise, I conduct a theoretically grounded synthesis of the findings of extant studies of lawyers' impact on civil case outcomes.
The Paradox of Generosity: Giving We Receive, Grasping We Lose
The article focuses on the relationship between street vendors and local authorities in Bangkok. We examine the goals, the means, and the effects of everyday regulation of street vending. We document how the district administration produces and maintains informality by creating a parallel set of rules where street vendors enjoy negligible rents and little competition. We provide detailed empirical evidence on earnings, rents, fines, and rules regarding commercial real estate.
Several recent spatial analyses conclude the strong positive association typically found between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and crime in cross-sectional studies significantly differs across neighborhoods. It is possible this spatial variation is due to within-neighborhood dynamics of continuity and change, as suggested by ecological theories of neighborhood crime.
Research documents that lenders discriminate between loan applicants in traditional and peer-to-peer lending markets, yet we lack knowledge about the mechanisms driving lenders' behavior. I offer one possible mechanism: When lenders assess borrowers, they are implicitly guided by cultural stereotypes about the borrowers' status. This systematically steers lenders toward funding higher status groups even when applicants have the same financial histories.
We argue that the mismatch between data and analytical methods, along with common practices for dealing with "messy" data, can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Specifically, using previously published data on racial bias and culture of honor, we show that manifest effects, and therefore theoretical conclusions, are highly dependent on how researchers decide to handle extreme scores and nonlinearities when data are analyzed with traditional approaches.

Father's day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in the society. It is celebrated on March 19 in catholic Europe but many countries have adapted the US date which is the third Sunday of June.
Everyone else is reading this book except you. Click and Download your copy now!
ARREY-B on this day celebrates the efforts of biological fathers, founding fathers of our nation, adopted fathers and most importantly spiritual fatherhood. Many lost their lives in a bid to secure ours, giving themselves up against colonial authorities: Those whose blood perhaps "cleaned" us from the predators.
Father's day can be traced to many stories: The first holds that father's day celebrations owe their origin to a mother's day church service. A certain Sonora Smart Dodd suggested on June 20 1909 that it was only fair to have a father's day to honor fathers just like many honor their mums. Account say personal reason accounted for this suggestion. She was only 16 when her mother passed away she was raised by her dad together with five other brothers. She approached the authorities and they agreed to celebrate it on June 5 which was he father's birthday. Sonora passed on in 1978 at the age of 96 after she saw her ideas come to pass.
In a second version, father's day started after Anna Darvis' successful promotion of mother's day. Grace Clayton was mourning her father's death when in 1907, three hundred and sixty one men were killed in the Monongah disaster, among which were two hundred and fifty fathers. Clayton then suggested that her pastor honors all those fathers.
*We acknowledge your efforts and would always have you in our hearts especially those who have tirelessly walked us through the stress of life. By their seed we came forth and we cannot to relent to acknowledge their efforts.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all fathers.
We think of a long list of fathers but would like to mention Father Lefor Divine D.

We hope that by the time you're ready to start your studies with us the situation with COVID-19 will have eased. However, please be aware, we will continue to review our courses and other elements of the student experience in response to COVID-19 and we may need to adapt our provision to ensure students remain safe. For the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, regularly visit our website, which we will continue to update as the situation changes www.leeds.ac.uk/covid19faqs
Virtual Open Day
Don't worry if you didn't have chance to attend our virtual open day or you missed a talk. All our talks are available to watch again on our dedicated Virtual Open Day website.
Nutrition BSc
We offer a Nutrition programme that develops your knowledge and understanding of human nutrition and the science underpinning the relationship between diet and health. This programme is professionally accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN) and the Institute for Food Science and Technology.
Nutrition is a fast-moving discipline that focuses on understanding the role of diet in maintaining health and preventing disease. Nutritionists play an important role in providing and implementing evidence-based nutritional guidelines and recommendations.
On this course, you'll gain a solid understanding of human nutrition and the scientific basis underlying nutritional recommendations. You'll examine the scientific, social and ethical considerations that inform the nutrition profession, all within the context of current issues, such as the global obesity problem and food insecurity.
This course offers you the opportunity to spend a year working in industry or studying at a university abroad, both of which provide valuable experience and help your personal development. Both of these schemes add an additional year to your course, taking the total course length to 4 years.
Our industrial placement scheme gives you the opportunity to gain work experience in an industry relevant to your degree and interests. Our students often describe this industrial experience as an invaluable part of their degree and one which stands them in good stead for their future careers.
The study abroad year enables you to gain insight into the study of nutrition at one of our partner universities overseas. Many students find this to be an extremely worthwhile option, that broadens their horizons and provides valuable cultural and learning experiences, while also improving their foreign language skills.
Accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN)
AfN accreditation supports the development of nutritionists' skills by recognising university courses that deliver evidence-based nutrition education to a professional level. Our programme's accreditation recognises that our course meets the quality standards established by the AfN, and upon graduation you'll be eligible to apply for direct entry at Registered Associate level to the Association for Nutrition.
Accredited by the Institute for Food Science and Technology
This accreditation signifies that Leeds offers the best possible food-related education, giving students the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to enter into employment in the food industry, research, education and the public sector.
Studying an accredited degree programme can help you to stand out to employers because it assures them that you meet the standards of the food profession.
Course content
Year 1 introduces you to the major sources of food and their history, current trends in consumption, and key industrial processing operations. You'll study food chemistry and develop your laboratory and experimentation skills in food and nutritional science. In addition, you'll be introduced to microbiology, human physiology and nutrition; these modules allow you to gain a thorough understanding of how food affects health and wellbeing, and appreciate the role of food as a carrier of nutrients.
In the second year, you'll be introduced to the concepts and methodology for studying nutrition in populations, and you will explore how the metabolic demand for nutrients varies during the life course. This allows you to understand the scientific basis of nutritional recommendations for different population groups at different life stages, e.g. pregnancy, childhood, older age. Studying food analysis, you'll examine how the nutritional content of food is established, the additives and contaminants in food, and the need for food analysis to comply with legal requirements. The relationship between nutrition and physical activity will also be explored in the context of the global obesity problem, including the physiological, psychological and cultural barriers to dietary change. You'll also deepen your understanding of how food components affect the chemical and microbiological safety of food, and the integration between human physiology and nutrition
There is an optional placement year between the second and final year. Two options are available:
Industrial one-year placement (salaried)
International taught or research study abroad one-year placement
The two options are based on Leeds' long-standing relationships with industry and other worldwide leading academic institutions. Gaining a place on the industrial placement and study abroad programme is competitive and dependent on the grades you achieve.
In your final year, you'll examine nutrition policy and public health, and gain an understanding of the role of nutritionists, industry, government and consumers in the policy making process, and how best to communicate nutrition policy to a lay-audience. You'll examine the clinical aspects of nutrition and the concept of personalised nutrition, as well as the role of diet in cardiovascular health. A team project based on new product development (NPD) will give you the opportunity to explore the role of nutritionists in developing and marketing new food ranges in the food industry. You'll also undertake an individual research project which will give you the experience of developing your research skills; you'll be given a selection of research topics, which will relate to the nutrition research activity in the School.

Oyster 12252020Su richiesta
A true sailing superyacht at nearly 123ft overall including the bowsprit, the Oyster 1225 luxury expedition yachts offers its Owner a truly global adventure. Built to DNV-GL classification standards and compliant with the MCA LY3 'Large Yacht Code', Oyster has developed this 120ft yacht design to offer each owner the opportunity to significantly customise his or her yacht, whilst retaining the benefits of a low maintenance gel coat finish from a female mould tool. Approaching the luxury expedition yacht design in three principal areas: the accommodation aft, the guest and crew options forward and the expansive saloon space, many permutations are possible. Options allow for a huge Master Suite aft supported by two or three guest cabins or up to five guest cabins and a smaller master cabin. One thing is for certain, the six crew layout will provide a wonderful environment for the Owner and guests. Whether that is six crew supporting 10-14 guests or perhaps six just looking after the Owner and partner in unbridled luxury.Altre9
Oyster 885 Series 22020Su richiesta
Designed to efficiently comply with commercial coding, the Oyster 885 (Series 2) bluewater yacht offers up to four cabins, all en-suite, for the owner and his/her guests, supported by four crew in two cabins. A clear separation of crew and galley quarters from the owners' accommodation creates the feel of a much larger sailing superyacht. A carbon mast is standard, as are North Sails. A high basic specification ensures that this new bluewater yacht provides the superyacht experience below the MCA 24 metre Large Yacht Code – and thus is designed for the owner who also wishes to consider chartering his/her yacht to efficiently offset running costs. There are three areas of choice and personalisation; two or three cabins aft; convert the 4th forward port guest cabin into additional saloon space; and your choice of saloon arrangement.Altre8
Oyster 7452020Su richiesta
Denoting a sleek evolution of Oyster's signature bluewater cruising yachts, the Oyster 745 is designed to fit between the 'family and friends' Oyster 565 – 675 and the Oyster 885 with their separate crew quarters. Replacing the highly successful Oyster 72/725, of which an impressive 17 were built, the Oyster 745 introduces a new hull, twin rudder format and brings a sense of the sailing coupé with her distinctive Deck Saloon, extended in clean symmetry with a sheerline that points to power and adventure. With a choice of rigs, the sail plan can be optimised for fully-crewed regatta speed or kept smaller for short-handed sailing; from carbon rigs and fully battened mainsails to cutter and joystick furling for friends and family sailing. The enabler behind this versatility is Oyster's new twin rudder hull configuration from naval architect Rob Humphreys; Oyster and Humphreys Yacht Design are the first ever to have so extensively researched and tank-tested this arrangement solely for performance cruisers and offshore sailboat.Altre18
Oyster 6752020Su richiesta
Designed in line with her larger sister, the Oyster 745, the first Oyster 675 expedition sailing yacht is a very personal yacht. Significantly larger in volume than her predecessors – the Oyster 655 and 66 – the Oyster 675 70ft yacht allows the Owners great scope to build a yacht to suit his or her private needs. Performance means different things to different Owners, so we have designed a hull form flexible enough for smooth cruising as well as regatta results with a carbon rig and hi-tech sails. With two spacious double guest en-suite cabins complementing the full beam Master Cabin and a fourth cabin for crew (with options for en-suite facilities), the Oyster 675 brings together a range choices making this a perfect yacht for many Owner's requirements; from leisurely family escapes, to occasional luxury charters, or as a long distance expedition sailing yacht with professional help aboard. The Oyster 675 is also available with an Owners' Cabin forward with a dinghy garage in the transom. As with the Oyster 745, there is a choice of rigs, an extended transom, and your choice of a swinging centreboard or standard keel. Whatever your configuration, comfortable performance is guaranteed, with reassuring, stable control from twin rudders. The Oyster 675 is fast, comfortable and equally suited to long passages or 'bit between the teeth' day racing on the Oyster Regatta circuit.Altre161
Oyster 5952020Su richiesta
Setting new standards for family-focused blue water cruisers, the Oyster 595 brings a wealth of Oyster Superyacht building experience to provide a stunning 60ft yacht equally at home in Monte Carlo or the Falklands. With many standard features more usually seen as optional extras, the Oyster 595 has been designed with the same internal headroom that we use on the Oyster 885 and 1225. Designed to fit between the Oyster 565 and the Oyster 675, the Oyster 595 is a spacious yacht that can be handled by just two people and combines a modern hull shape with versatile and stylish fittings to be our favourite family yacht for ocean adventures. With 2 layout options, the Oyster 595 blue water cruiser can also have the Master Cabin forward and a dinghy garage aft like its smaller and larger sisters. Sizeable sail lockers and lazarette also ensure that this yacht can comfortably cruise long distances. Different sail and rig combinations are also available to better optimise your Oyster 595 for Oyster World Rally, regattas, and coastal cruising.Altre7
Oyster 5652020Su richiesta
The Oyster 565 is our entry level blue water sailing cruiser in the 'G6' fleet of six models. Using the latest generation of Oyster hull shapes, developed with Humphreys Yacht Design, the Oyster 565 small expedition yacht is designed for easy family sailing without the need of professional crew. Developed from our years of experience building 120 Oyster 56 and Oyster 575 sailing yachts, the new Oyster 565 provides an essential fourth cabin which can be used as a utility space or for an extra bunk. She comes equipped with a generous sail locker and lazarette. The Oyster 565 also matches the headroom and bunk lengths of our larger Oyster sailing superyachts.

California financier Tom Steyer's $20 million ad campaign to impeach President Donald Trump has alienated some of the Democratic leaders with the influence to make impeachment a reality.
As The Daily Caller's Jack Crowe details, some within the Democratic leadership fear that aggressively pursuing impeachment will only serve to turn Republican and independents against the party and jeopardize their opportunity to flip Congress in 2018.
"I've been a very harsh critic of this president... But the impeachment message right now is not helpful to the possibility of retaking the House," Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, chairman of the fiscally moderate New Democratic Coalition, told The Wall Street Journal.
Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund founder, dismissed the pragmatic criticisms brought by lawmakers and suggested the impeachment ads serve a higher goal.
"I understand that there are people who think that from a tactical political standpoint it may not be clever," Steyer said. "We're not trying to be clever."
The ads have run on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, local broadcast stations, Times Square and Twitter. The segments, which cast Trump's firing of former FBI director James Comey as obstruction, direct viewers to a virtual impeachment petition website, that 2.6 million people have signed in the month since the campaign began.
Steyer, who has spent over $170 million to support Democratic causes and candidates over the last three years, claims the ad campaign is designed to put sufficient public pressure on lawmakers that they secure the necessary coalition to impeach.
Some Democrats appreciate Steyer's enthusiasm but don't believe his efforts are likely to assist in the party's most pressing concern, the 2018 congressional races
"I like Tom, and he means well," said Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts.
"And he certainly believes he's doing the right thing for the country….[but] I don't think the impeachment conversation necessarily helps in House races."
Steyer believes the 2016 election demonstrated the impotence of establishment politics and, as a result, he does not place much stock in the advice of establishment lawmakers.
"The Republican nominee wasn't really a Republican. The person who energized the Democratic Party wasn't really a Democrat," Steyer said, referring to Trump and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent.
"So, when I hear the Washington establishment tell me, 'Shut the f—up,' I think, well, maybe."
Despite the naysayers, Steyer's ads have prompted some action on Capitol Hill. Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced five articles of impeachment on Nov. 15 after seeing one of the ads.
"I finally said after I saw that ad, I thought, 'I need to move forward,'" Cohen said.
The impeachment articles, which received only six votes, cite Trump's firing of Comey as obstruction of justice and allege that Trump violated the emoluments clause by accepting payment from foreign officials through his businesses. They also accuse the president of undermining the federal judiciary and freedom of the press.

ST LOUIS – A St. Louis news commentator has resigned after he threatened to sexually assault Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg on Twitter.
Jamie Allman, the host of the nightly news show "The Allman Report" on ABC affiliate KDNL, wrote on March 26 that he was "hanging out getting ready" to assault Hogg with "a hot poker."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote about the tweet over the weekend, leading many advertisers, including Ruth's Chris Steak House, to cut ties with Allman's show. By Monday, Allman left the station, owned by the Sinclair Co., and his show had been canceled.
"We have accepted Mr. Allman's resignation, and his show has been canceled," Ronn Torossian, a spokesman for Sinclair Broadcast Group, told The Washington Post.
Sinclair has recently come under intense criticism for requiring its news anchors across the country to read identical announcements, warning of the dangers of "fake news." Many commentators said the announcements echoed President Donald Trump's attacks on the news media.
The Maryland-based company has also mandated that its local stations broadcast commentary segments by Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump campaign official and staunch defender of the president.
Since the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Hogg has become an outspoken advocate for gun control, angering many right-wing commentators. Hogg has been the target of false stories, and images of Hogg have been altered, with some putting him in Nazi uniforms and poses.
Hogg has not publicly commented on Allman's remarks.
Last month, Fox News host Laura Ingraham lost a number of her advertisers after she mocked Hogg after he failed to get into several universities. Ingraham eventually apologized and Fox News official have said they stand by their host despite the financial fallout.

No Parking?
Welcome to the "No Parking Sign Exhibit" on 12th Street.
Welcome to the "No Parking Sign Exhibit" on 12th Street.
[quote comment="39614″](Isn't their a fake wooden owl on the roof – garage on left?)
I wonder if they got their message across. Wouldn't be surprised if they purchased a crashed up car from the junk yard and perched it on top of the roof for added emphasis of consequence.[/quote]
Actually wooden owls ward off birds — and eliminate bird sh*t…..
Mrs. Daliani for Mayor, I like it!
Anyone can post a sign, but only the city can enforce . Notice that the city also painted the curb yellow. Also, I believe there are some city owned signs on the sidewalk that also say no parking. As there are curb cuts and parking garages on that block, the city has designated that a no parking zone. I think the yahoo on Jefferson is just being an ass.
I used to rent the apartment on the top floor there. Mrs. Daliani, nice old Italian lady born and raised in Hoboken.
Really, you want to heed those warnings because while she's very nice she doesn't take any crap from *anyone*, she's elderly, but she's sharp. Add to the fact that she knows everyone in town and can make a phone call have your car impounded, crushed and left at your doorstep all in one afternoon.
Some young guys moved into the basement apartment across the street. They partied a lot which is fine, since they kept it to the weekends. Then it became all week long, people hanging outside, pissing on the tree in front, breaking/leaving bottles on the sidewalk. I mentioned it to her, she doesn't hear well so she was unaware. Next day, she tells me she knows their parents and decided to take a walk down to the pizzeria they own, and let them know what their kids were up to – "They'll take care of it". All activity in that apartment stopped. I actually kinda felt bad about it. I guess someone wasn't too old to get an ass whuppin'.
Perhaps you should enlist Mrs. Daliani in the effort to fix the flooding problem? She could call everyone on the city council and give them a talking to they will never forget. 😀
I guess anyone can post whatever sign they want on their own property. Take a look at the clown on the 700 block of Jefferson that posts "No Parking" signs in front of his cyclone fenced, astro-turfed front yard. If anyone dares to park in front of this utopia, he tapes bright orange signs on your windshield advising that "next time" you will be towed. I'd like to see him try…

Had Cystic Acne, Took Accutane and Now I Have Clear Skin
Before and afters
Procedure rating
Acne treatment
Performed 2014
Procedure review
I think the best way for me to educate people interested in taking Accutane is for me to leave a review in a question and answer format. Hope this helps those of you who are considering taking Accutane.
What sex are you?
How old were you when you went on Accutane?
What was your height and weight when you were on Accutane?
160lbs. and 5'11"
What type of acne did you have?
I had cystic acne. It was very painful and I had no self-esteem as a teenager because of it. My face looked like a bunch of small volcanoes. I think I woke up every single morning and discovered multiple new acne breakouts. It was horrific and saddening.
Did I experience depression while on Accutane?
No, I did not. The only depression I suffered from was having severe acne while going through high-school.
How long were you on Accutane?
I was on Accutane for 6 months.
Did you experience dry skin while on Accutane?
Yes, I did. I was able to control the severity of my dry skin with lots of moisturizers and lip balm. My eyes, nasal passages and lips were also dry.
What dosage of Accutane were you on?
Month 1: 40mg twice a day
Month 2: Two 30mg tabs in the morning, One 30mg tab at night
Month 3-6: One 40mg tab in the morning and two 30mg tabs at night
Did you have any side-effects?
I had dry skin as noted above and in month 6 my bones were very achy. My liver enzymes and cholesterol were elevated for 1 out of the 6 months. (This was picked up during my monthly blood test. The doctor didn't change anything and the following month my liver and cholesterol levels returned to normal.) My blood work also showed that I was frequently dehydrated. My doctor kept telling me to drink more water. I tried, but I don't like drinking a lot of fluid. I should have been better about this.
When did your skin clear up?
By month 3 I had stopped breaking out. Around month 5 my skin started feeling really smooth. It was the first time in many years that I finally had clear skin.
Did you have an initial breakout?
No, but to be honest, when you have acne as bad as I did, it's really hard to tell.
Products you used while on Accutane?
I used Aquaphor for my lips, Visine for my eyes and Neutrogena moisturizer for my face.
Worst part of taking Accutane?
Having monthly blood tests and doctor's appointments. Oh, and when you take your Accutane pills, you need to pop the pill through a picture of a pregnant woman with a big X on it each time. (Not really the worst part, but that was a bit odd.)
Best part of taking Accutane?
It's the only medication that actually worked to clear my acne. I had very bad acne and it really impacted my quality of life. I'm now in college and not having adult acne is amazing. I have so much more confidence now and don't worry that I'll wake up with zits every morning. Not having acne takes one less worry off my plate. I've been off Accutane for years and my skin is still clear and I did not experience any long term side effects because of it. Accutane was a godsend for me.

When you take out a loan from a bank, you're expected to pay back every penny of that loan amount as well as a fee on top of it, and that additional fee is what interest is.
There are two types of interest rates, and how high or low it is depends on your credit score. Interest is often calculated as a yearly rate, known as Annual Percentage Rate or APR. There are two types of interest rates: simple interest rate and compound interest rate.
Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the loan amount by the interest rate percentage (in most you need to move the interest rate decimal over two places, so 10% becomes .10) and then multiplying that by the number of years the loan is expected to be paid back in.
For example, you take out a loan of $10,000 to start up a landscaping business, and the bank's terms for the loan are 7% interest rate with the loan expected to be paid back within 7 years. The calculation for simple interest would be:
Again, the interest rate is in addition to the loan amount, so in the end you would be paying back a total of $14,900.
Compound interest is more complicated to calculate than simple interest, but the basic idea is that you're also paying interest on the interest you've previously paid. The number of times it actually "compounds" and you have to pay on the new amount (loan amount + interest paid) can vary, but it could be monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
Using our previous example of the $10,000 loan with 7% interest rate and 7 years to pay back, the compound interest (compounding once a year) would end up being $6057 compared to the simple interest of $4,900.
Interest not only applies to loans, but also credit cards (usually at a much higher rate), so you should be careful when spending large amounts of money with one.
Credit score is a number that gets calculated based on a person's credit history, and it determines how much of a credit risk that person is. It's used by banks...Continue reading...
