Investigating and developing a measure of students at risk of discontinuing first-year studies prematurely
Collaborative Research Project Alexandra Dobson – Newport Business School – Lecturer in Law firstname.lastname@example.com Dr Ron Fisher - Senior lecturer, Griffith Business School, Griffith University Gold Coast, Australia Dr Mark Francis – Reader in Business and Management- Newport Business School. Both institutions provided teaching and learning grants to support the research.
Background Discontinuation of studies and the outcomes flowing from that are generally perceived to be negative for both the individual and the institution and are worthy of close analysis. Following preliminary discussions, it was felt that an interesting and useful international co-research project could be mounted where researchers could collaborate with one another to construct an assessment tool and test it, with the ultimate goal of assisting the debate.
Rationale Many issues relating to transition are well known, and a range of actions to reduce attrition has been implemented at university-level in both NBS and Griffith. However, the issue of propensity to discontinue first-year university studies from the perspective of students themselves has not been adequately addressed, either at the institutional level or in academic research.
National Audit Office The 2007 report found that around 28,000 full-time and 87,000 part time undergraduates who commenced their studies in 2004-05 were no longer in higher education in 2005-06. Russell Group - highest average continuation rate - universities created since 1992 having the lowest average rate overall.
Background to the Research A considerable amount of work had already been carried out at both institutions into the complex reasons why students discontinue their studies. However the use of biodata as a predictor for discontinuation has received little attention in education.
Methodology Using a mixed methods approach, the research will collect and analyse interview data from a range of interviewees. (staff and students) The qualitative stage will enable Biodata and Situational Judgement Inventory (SJI) indices to be constructed, together with measurement rubrics to evaluate the data.
Methodology Biodata questions will be supplemented with Situational Judgment Inventory (SJI) items, both of which will invite students to select from predetermined responses. While biodata has been used extensively as a selection tool for employment and in marketing contexts (Carraher et al, 2006), it has received limited attention in educational research. While one study reports the use of biodata in higher education (Oswald et al., 2004), there are no reported studies of its use in the area of student retention.
Methodology Biodata measures are designed to measure students non-cognitive attributes and predict multiple dimensions of university performance (Oswald et al., 2004). Biodata has been shown in numerous studies to be a valid and reliable means of predicting future behaviour and performance based on questions about life and work experiences (based on the belief that future actions may frequently be predicted by past behaviours).
Methodology Items such as opinions, values, beliefs, and attitudes are also considered (e.g. questions about knowledge, ethics, leadership etc). Biodata questions will be supplemented with Situational Judgment Inventory (SJI) items, both of which will invite students to select from predetermined responses.
Approach at Griffith In this study a pragmatic approach is proposed using mixed methods. Firstly, a qualitative phase collects data to establish a framework for conceptualising what factors lead to students discontinuing university studies prematurely. Successful students (e.g. student in Griffith Honours College) will also be interviewed in order to gain a second-order insight into success and potential failure at university (i.e. from the perspectives of the students themselves). As with all qualitative research the exact number of interviews needed has not been decided at this stage.
Methodology At Griffith it is estimated that up to 25 interviews will be required for each group of interviewees (i.e. academic staff and high performing students), a total of approximately 50 interviews. Interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed prior to analysis, which will be undertaken using Leximancer data mining software
Methodology At NBS the number of interviews may be less – a smaller cohort but this is still under discussion.
Situational Judgement Tests Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) – sometimes termed Situational Judgement Questionnaires are a type of psychological test that assesses judgement required for solving problems
Methodology At Griffith, questionnaires will be trialled in a large first- year core business course, with results analysed using the measurement rubrics. It is anticipated that the instruments will identify students at risk, enabling appropriate action to be taken. A similar approach will be adopted at Newport Business School (NBS).
NEXT STEPS AT NBS and Griffith carry out the interviews that will assist with Biodata and SJI. Top-down approach – staff and students Difficulties – interviews with students who have discontinued. Exit interviews

Texas Devil Eggs Hecho en Costa Rica
So for years, friends from back home in Texas have asked me for my devil egg recipe and I can remember standing in the kitchen, talking on the land line, giving out the recipe over the phone. 20 years later, I am in Costa Rica and my new friends are asking me for the recipe. I took about 100 to a Tica Baby Shower and they were gone in about 10 minutes. They had no idea what they were, but they gobbled them up anyway and loved them. So, I have decided to post my recipe, although it is a bit different due to available ingredients, they still taste the same.
In my opinion, it is important that the ingredients are chopped finely and consistently to ensure even distribution. Now, in Texas, you can purchase pimento in a jar at most stores. In Costa Rica, we make our own. Simply rub a touch of olive oil on the skin of a sweet pepper and turn on a grill until completely charred or black, not very pretty, but the next step will explain why this is important.
After charring, place the pepper inside a Tupperware for exactly 5 minutes with lid closed. After 5 minutes, gently and easily peel the waxy skin off under cold running water, then peel the seeds and stem off and discard. Slice and dice and add to your ingredients.
It is also hard to find Dill Pickle Relish in Costa Rica; therefore, buy pickles and chop them. My mom prefers sweet relish, I like both and when I am feeling frisky, I will do half and half, but today, we simply chopped 1 large dill pickle. Next, add your eggs to cold water and bring to a boil while stirring occasionally, first clockwise, then counter clockwise to position the yolk in the middle of the egg. After they come to a boil, turn the heat off and cover with a lid for 5 minutes.
Squeeze about 2 large tablespoons of mayo and mustard into a small bowl.
Add ingredients and stir. Peel all the eggs, much easier if under cold, running water. Slice and place yolks into a large mixing bowl to be crushed with a fork.
Add the bowl of ingredients to the egg yolks, mixing well.
Then take the fork and stuff the egg halves carefully.
Sprinkle the top of the eggs with paprika. Garnish with olives, parsley or whatever is laying around. I do not usually add salt or pepper since the mustard is salty enough and my kids love them, so who needs pepper? Sometimes, in Texas, I add a spoon of Dijon mustard to spice things up. Also, chopped dill is a beautiful topper with the paprika. If you do not have pretty platters like me, you can line the bottom of a plate with parsley to keep the eggs from slipping around during transit. Since I usually take mine to parties, I stick toothpicks on each corner before wrapping them and leaving them in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill while I get dressed for whatever occasion it may be.
I never bring any home when I offer these at parties, no matter what country I am in. I hope you like my recipe and, as always, feel free to post comments or questions. Pura Vida!

Investment Management Association plans for funds to reveal all their costs in a simpler and more transparent way in annual reports have been broadly welcomed.
Through its proposed Statement of Recommended Practice for the annual report and accounts of UK authorised funds, IMA chief executive Daniel Godfrey is pushing for all annual reports and accounts of funds to display the performance of each unit held, the charge on each unit for managing the fund and the amount of transactional costs incurred on each unit.
Chase de Vere head of communications Patrick Connolly says: "We are still a long way from investors understanding what they are paying for. It is good the IMA is calling for this."
Hargreaves Lansdown head of research Mark Dampier says: "We have supported it right from the start. Some of the unit trust pricing is quite opaque. It should be in the AMC [but] performance fees must be the most opaque thing possible."
Any mandatory move to force fund groups to act would have to come from the FCA. An FCA spokesman says: "Ensuring investor clarity on fund fee structures and all charges is an important issue for the asset management industry.
"We support actions by industry bodies, including the IMA's consultation on its SORP, to ensure that investors are appropriately informed of charges in relation to their investments."
Since joining the IMA in October 2012, Godfrey has been keen to repair what he sees as a lack of trust from investors in the asset management industry. As part of this aim, he made cost clarification a top priority, first unveiling plans to do so in April 2013.
Godfrey says: "The initiative to provide a simple cost number that consumers can trust is a clear example of the industry going well beyond regulatory requirements to deliver to consumers something they need in a format that they can actually understand."
However, Gina Miller, a founding partner of passive-focused investment house SCM Private which has campaigned for greater charging transparency, says: "What I find shocking is that the Financial Reporting Council is handing it over to the IMA. It needs to be done by a third party."
Miller is also concerned the plans are limited to fund costs with no proposals to try to articulate the full cost of investing, including platform and advice fees.
She adds: "The investor needs to know the total impact of costs on their pocket. The 'stacking up' needs to happen and investors need to know this prior to purchase."

Celery is such an under-rated salad crop, but it has so numerous values. Yes, it flavours strange, but add a bit of cream dairy cheese and it become the flawless accompaniment. But it is in its use for bulking salads, creating supplies, and as a base for broths and stews that it becomes invaluable, and you will be surprised at just how much celery the passionate prepare food will get through in a year. So much so that growing your own celery can become extremely precious. Not only is it hardy and very simple to augment, its weird flavour is so much more strong and - more significantly - you can assurance that it has not been bathed in a cocktail of pesticides and fungicides.
What is Celery?
Celery is an ancient nourishment having been cultivated in the Mediterranean region for more than 3,000 years. It is very good for weight administration diet as its high water content and fibrous environment means heaviness watchers can eat this vegetable a alallotmentment without fearing of heaviness gain. It is high in Vitamins B1 and B6, Vitamin C, calcium, fiber, folic unpleasant, potassium, and anti-oxidants. Kidneys can advantage from celery as it helps in eradicate body waste though urine. Eating celery will decrease high body-fluid pressure dangers, respite arthritis agony and stifle cancerous disease units development.
So, How Do You Grow Celery from Seed?
Because you will be beginning off your celery seed under defence, you will need to use either 3 inch pots or large module trays topped up with a good quality kernel compost such as John Innes 'Seed and Potting'. Celery kernels are minute and tricky to plant, so try blending them up with some horticultural sand first and then sprinkling the sand/seed blend over the vessels or modules that you are beginning the celery plants in. Cover the kernels with just a slim layer level of dirt as celery seeds decisively like to be sown shallowly. softly water in, you may desire to to sit the platter/ vessels in a pot of water and permit the water to increase through the compost utilising capillary activity. one time watered, cover the vessels/ dishes with a transparent cover - sheet of glass, clingfilm, or propagator lid and move to a moderately hot bright place. Just make sure that it is out of direct sunlight. one time the kernels have germinated you can eliminate the cover, and now water as essential.
one time the celery seeds are large enough, either thin the seedlings or pierce them out to their own vessels. Once the temperatures outside are consistently above 50F, you can plant your celery into your garden. recall that celery is very warmth perceptive, so don't plant it out too early or you will murder or dwindle the celery vegetation.
Unless you live in a position that is perfect to grow celery plants, you are best planting your celery where it will get 6 hours of sun, but preferably somewhere that the celery vegetation will be in the shade for the hottest part of the day. Also, make certain that where you will be growing celery has wealthy soil. A growing celery vegetation desires a lot of water so make certain that you hold the soil evenly moist and do not forget to water them. Celery can not endure drought of any kind. If the ground is not kept consistently moist, it will sway the flavour of the celery. You will also need to fertilize frequently as celery plants need abounding of nutrients.
Blanching Celery
Numerous gardeners prefer to blanch their celery to make them more tender, but be cognizant that when blanching celery, you are reducing the allowance of vitamins in the celery vegetation. Blanching celery is where you by artificial means turns the green part of the vegetation white.
Blanching celery is done in one of two ways. The first way is to just slowly construct a mound of dirt round the growing celery plant. Every couple of days you would add a little more dirt and at harvest time the celery plant will be blanched. The other method is to cover the smaller half of the celery plant with broad dark paper or cardboard a couple of weeks before you design to collection the celery.

A weekly round-up of news affecting your health.
A Danish study has found taking the pill can increase a woman's risk of a rare type of brain tumour.
Young women who have taken a hormonal contraceptive, including the oral contraceptive pill, for at least five years might be at a higher risk of developing glioma, according to the study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
But the authors cautioned that further research needed to be done to prove the link.
They also said glioma was incredibly rare, affecting only five women per 100,000 aged 15 to 49 in a year.
Health professionals, including an Australian doctor, who commented on the study said women should not be concerned about the findings.
Dr Deborah Bateson, of Family Planning NSW, said that even with a modest increase in risk associated with hormonal contraceptive use, the absolute risk of glioma remained very, very low.
Twitter can be used to predict rates of heart disease, a new US study shows.
University of Pennsylvania researchers analysed 140 million random tweets from 2009 and 2010 and found that expressions of negative emotions in a community's tweets were associated with higher heart disease risk.
Angry expressions, such as "hate", were strongly correlated with heart disease mortality, said lead researcher Johannes Eichstaedt, a PhD candidate at the university.
On the other hand, positive emotional language, such as "wonderful" and "friends", showed the opposite correlation, suggesting that optimism and happy experiences might be protective against heart disease, he said.
The study is published in the journal Psychological Science.
A new assessment tool to enable appropriate end-of-life care for the elderly has been developed by the University of NSW.
It consists of a 29-item screening list that can be completed by a nurse or a doctor and will be trialled in selected Sydney hospitals this year.
Researcher Dr Magnolia Cardona-Morrell said the tool was informed by an extensive review of the medical literature that attempts to "diagnose dying" or devise an end-of-life assessment tool for clinical use.
Most of the existing tools rely on clinical judgment or subjective assessments and value judgments, she said.
Developing a more objective and accurate way of identifying patients close to death is crucial to prevent inappropriate hospital admission and unnecessary treatments, she said.
A paper about the tool is published in BMJ Supportive and Palliative Care.
A stomach ulcer bug might protect against multiple sclerosis, a WA study shows.
Western Australian Neuroscience Research Institute researchers and collaborators found evidence the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is associated with a lower risk of MS.
H. pylori is known to infect about half the world's population. It causes no symptoms in most people.
The researchers said the findings bolstered evidence for the role of the hygiene hypothesis in autoimmune diseases.
The hypothesis suggests childhood exposure to germs and certain infections helps the immune system develop.
A two-hour screen limit for children is "virtually impossible" to enforce, WA researchers say.
Health authorities recommend that kids under two have no screen exposure, while children over two should have their screen time limited to two hours a day.
But University of Western Australia researchers say those recommendations need a rethink.
Their study, published in BMC Public Health, found more than 60 per cent of children spent more than two hours on screens a day.
Co-author Michael Rosenberg said the study revealed how difficult it was for parents to limit screen time.
But he encouraged them to keep trying.
"Even if you're not achieving the two-hour limit, you are not failing your kids," Associate Professor Rosenberg said.
"If you are putting rules in place that limit their screen use and encouraging them to do physical activity, sit less and physically be with their friends, you're doing all right."

HKT unleashes more ultra-fast fibre-optic connections for Hong Kong households
New Netvigator service delivers four dedicated 1Gbps connections in one package for households, intensifying residential broadband competition amid demand for more bandwidth at an affordable rate
Related topics
HKT, the largest telecommunications network operator in Hong Kong, is unleashing more ultra-fast broadband capacity to households across the city with a new service that delivers up to four multi-use, 1-gigabit per second fibre-optic connections to each residential subscriber.
The initiative intensifies broadband competition in a city where fibre-to-the-home penetration rate in households was still at 39.3 per cent as of March 31, while fibre-to-residential-building penetration was at 33.1 per cent in the same period, according to data from the Office of the Communications Authority.
Hong Kong is the first market in the world to roll out this upgraded residential broadband service, which is based on a new set of technologies that the operator co-developed with an undisclosed supplier, said HKT group managing director Alex Arena at a press conference on Thursday.
While fixed-line network operators in the city have provided 1Gbps connection to the residential market for several years, HKT's Netvigator service is pioneering the provision of four individual 1Gbps circuits for use in different residential applications at HK$458 per month under a two-year contract.
HKT's upgraded residential broadband services has come amid government efforts to establish Hong Kong as a "smart city", where digital applications and the infrastructure to support these are ubiquitous in the public and private sectors.
It is a service ideal for a growing number of households in need of dedicated high-speed bandwidth connections for a home office, video-streaming entertainment, online gaming and blanket coverage for so-called smart-home applications.
Time to hang it up? Hong Kong Communication Authority considers retiring city's profitless payphones
"This is a ground-breaking achievement," said Arena. "This new multi-use architecture allows segregated use of the circuits, which ensures a high level of service quality with guaranteed speed, as well as enhanced security to protect our customers from the growing threats of malwares and viruses."
He also pointed out that it also reinforces Hong Kong's global lead as the market with "the best telecommunications services at the most affordable prices anywhere in the world".
A typical 1Gbps broadband service enables a user to download a high-definition movie in 47 seconds, compared to eight minutes on a 100-megabits per second connection.
Having a myriad of applications and gadgets used at home, however, has resulted in less bandwidth and slower online connection from a household's 1Gpbs service.
The new Netvigator service employs an advanced multi-use modem, dubbed XG-PON optical network terminal, and connects up to four different individual circuits which deliver a dedicated internet downstream bandwidth of up to 1Gbps for each circuit.
HKT also started offering from Thursday two multi-use 1Gbps connections in one package at HK$168 a month under a two-year contract for a limited time.
"The way we use social media and OTT (over-the-top streaming video) services, while working from home, people don't want entertainment to mess up [the bandwidth for] their home office," Arena said. "So I believe there is a huge market for this new service."
"How quickly this develops is a function of pricing on our part and customers investing in the latest personal computers and cloud computing services at home," he said. "Consumers only move one way – that's forward – and we're in front of them."
HKT's new residential broadband strategy will likely put pressure on Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong's 3Home Broadband and Hong Kong Broadband Network, which have no equivalent competitive product offerings.
"In this market, other players will try and copy, but they will have a tough time," said Arena, pointing out that HKT has the most fibre-optic broadband infrastructure installed in the city.

Scientists have linked 110 genes to an increased risk of breast cancer in the most comprehensive study ever to unpick the genetics of the disease.
Their study used a pioneering genetic technique to analyse maps of DNA regions linked to an inherited risk of breast cancer and identify the actual genes involved in raising a woman's risk.
Researchers also linked 32 of the new genes to the length of time women survived breast cancer - suggesting these could be important in the development of the disease and potential targets for future treatments.
Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, looked in detail at 63 areas of the genome that had previously been associated with the risk of breast cancer by mapping studies.
Finding the genes responsible for the increased risk is not straightforward because small sequences of DNA can interact with completely different parts of the genome through a strange phenomenon known as 'DNA looping'.
But the researchers, funded by Breast Cancer Now, used a technique they developed called Capture Hi-C to study interactions between different regions of the genome.
The study - published today (Monday) in Nature Communications - uncovered which specific genes were involved and how that might increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.
The team at the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) found that some of the 63 regions of the genome were physically interacting with genes more than a million letters of DNA code away.
They were able to identify 110 new genes that could potentially be causing an increased risk of breast cancer across 33 of the regions they studied. In the remaining 30 areas, they were unable to find any specific genes.
One third of the target genes for which they had patient data - 32 out of 97 - were also linked to survival in women with oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, suggesting they play an important role in the disease.
In the future, testing for these genes could help pick out women who are most at risk of developing the disease - or they could be explored as targets for new drugs.
Scientists at the ICR - a research institute and charity - studied DNA loops in cells from four different types of breast cancer and normal, healthy cells to find out which genes were consistently involved in looping interactions.
Most of the 110 genes found in the study had not been linked to breast cancer risk before, and further work will be needed to determine the extent of their role in the disease.
One of these, called FADD, has previously been linked to head and neck cancer and lung cancer and could be a promising target for new cancer therapies.
Previous large-scale genetics studies have implicated 14 of the 110 genes as playing a role in breast cancer risk, such as the oestrogen receptor gene ESR1, showing that Capture Hi-C is an effective tool for picking up risk genes.
Dr Olivia Fletcher, Team Leader in Functional Genetic Epidemiology at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "Our study took the high-level maps of breast cancer risk regions and used them to pull out specific genes that seem to be associated with the disease.
"We studied how DNA forms loops to allow physical interactions between a DNA sequence in one part of the genome and a risk gene in another.
"Identifying these new genes will help us to understand in much greater detail the genetics of breast cancer risk. Ultimately, our study could pave the way for new genetic tests to predict a woman's risk, or new types of targeted treatment."
Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive at Breast Cancer Now, which funded the study, said: "These are really important findings. We urgently need to unravel how the genetic changes in the building blocks of our DNA influence a woman's risk of breast cancer, and this study adds another vital piece to this jigsaw.
"More women are now being diagnosed with breast cancer than ever before, and these crucial findings could ultimately help us more accurately predict who is most at risk and develop new targeted treatments.
"Many of these genes have been relatively undocumented to date and we now hope further research will untangle their exact role in breast cancer risk, and how we could use them to stop more women developing the disease."
Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "Large-scale genomic studies have been instrumental in associating areas of our DNA with an increased risk of breast cancer. This study brings these regions of DNA into sharper focus, uncovering a treasure trove of genes that can now be investigated in more detail.
"The ways in which particular genes influence cancer risk are highly complex. In the future, a better understanding of the genes identified in this study could lead to the discovery of new targeted drugs, or new strategies to improve diagnosis or prevention of the disease."

Somewhere in the world, Father's Day is looming! In New Zealand, Father's Day is celebrated in September, so this is an early Father's Day reminder.
The Printable Craft Shop has some wonderful cutting files for those of you who own an electronic cutting machine. There are also cutting options for those who do not have a cutting machine, so everyone is covered here. Today, I have chosen to showcase the Fathers Day insert cutting file, available here. This cutting file is the inside of the card, which is great because it will allow you to make your own design for the outside of the card.
For the front of my card, I chose papers from a CTMH collection called Pathfinding. I designed and cut the lettering in Cricut Design Space and with my Cricut Explore.
The cutting file is the inner part of the card and I sized it to approximately 5.5 inches wide.
I then brought in a rectangle for the base card and sized that so the inner fitted with about 1/4 inch around all sides. I included a fold line on the base card and centred it.
In the cutting file that you download, the fold lines are made with small cuts. Because the card I was using is not too heavy, I decided to change the fold lines to scored instead of cut, which actually resulted in a better card as there were no perforations on the end result.
To finish off the card, I added some bronze Stickles to the Dad in the centre of the card and stamped an image on the bottom part of the card.
The cutting files available from the Printable Craft Shop are really good and I do recommend them. To get the best results though, I would definitely change the perforated fold lines to scored lines instead of cut lines as it does give a much better finish to the card.
Do check out the other posts from the talented Design Team.

Janet - love the card you made with my pop up cutting file. I also change the lines to score when I make up cards - but not all customers know how to use if I set them to score - so very glad that you made a point of this. I will try to make a video to show people how to do this. Problem is it would be different with each machine/software, so have to think about that. Rae

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found Monday that Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. discriminated against female employees in terms of pay, promotions and terms and conditions of employment.
Allison K. Schieffelin accused Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MWD) of failing to promote her in 1998 from principal to managing director based on her sex. She also contended that the company excluded her and other women from firm-sponsored events.
Based on Schieffelin's allegations, the EEOC determined that the company had a "pattern and practice of discrimination" against women.
Ray O'Rourke, spokesperson for the second largest retail broker, immediately disputed the accusation and said the company intended to meet with the commission soon.
He added that Morgan Stanley Dean Witter "does not practice or condone employment discrimination of any kind."
A spokesperson for Schieffelin was not available for comment.

This programme and some of the reaction to it on my new best friend, twitter, compelled me to write my first proper blog post.
First things first, I really like Jon Richardson, he's a funny man and seems a genuinely nice fella. I thought he was kind and compassionate in his interviews and insightful in his reflections. I thought the programme was done well. There were lots of tweets from people about the programme and how Jon was representing people well.
Some points stand out for me and they will be recurrent themes in my posts, I'm sure of that.
The biggest one is this: Jon did not have a mental illness.
He did not meet criteria.
I have enormous issues with the concept of diagnosis which will become clearer over the posts but as a concept, 'you're ill or not' just doesn't sit well with me. How many people watching the programme will have said 'I do that'. I did. I have a compulsion to scratch both knees if I scratch one. I do it loads, expecially when I'm nervous. To say I have traits of OCD is too simplistic and indeed wrong. If you take that approach we could all have traits of all kinds of problems, for example, could you say yes to any of these?:
– Do you find it difficult to control worry, do you have muscle tension or are you irritable?
– Do you have grossly disorganised behaviour?
– Do you think you've been decieved by a spouse or lover? or someone of 'higher status' is in love with you?
-Do you prefer solitary activities? Do you have little interest in having sexual experiences with another person?
If so then you could consider yourself to have traits of (in order): Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia, Delusional Disorder and finally Schizoid Personality Disorder.
Before anyone who does experience these difficulties throws insults at me I am in no way underplaying the severity of these difficulties. I am however saying that by saying that these 'traits' are parts of mental illness we are pathologising life.
I have experienced all these at times. It's too simplistic to say that I have 'traits' of mental illness. What is also clear is that people with difficulties with their well-being are not fundamentally different to people who do not, they just have more of certain difficulties (often a combination of many) which occur in the general population.
I don't think this approach helps the stigma or helps people understand how sometimes, difficulties can be massively overwhelming and completely take over people's lives. But they are understandable.
Jon Richardson met people with OCD and saw how much it affected them. he also recognised that when he was living alone and was struggling for work his 'OCD' got more severe. He slid up the scale as I would say.
Jon's mum opened up about her own anxiety problems and said "I'd be surprised if some of my anxiety didn't rub off on you a bit" this was very insightful, it doesn't mean it's genetic. I support Man Utd, so does my mum, genetic ? My mum liked Margaret Thatcher, I must have a recessive gene!
Jon wanted to know why, there were indications of life stressors in some of the people he interviewed (including himself), bullying, parental anxiety to name but two. As a Clinical Psychologist my biggest question is why? I always tell trainees and assistants that we're like the eternal 4 year olds (I know about this one!) always asking why, for example:
X took an overdose – why?– she was attention seeking – but why? Why did she need you/us then? What was going on? How come that was the only way she felt she could get us to respond?
X has difficulties with getting on with other people, her emotions go up and down and she really worries about getting close to people. – Why? How do we make sense of that, how does she make sense of that?
X is messing about in school, she always gets thrown out of lessons. Why?Can she do the work? Is she anxious, is she struggling to concentrate? if so why? Is is because she has other things on her mind, is she troubled by thoughts? How's life at home?
We also saw the level to which this continuum can go with Joyce's account of her son and how he took his own life after battling with OCD. This was a heartbreaking, tragic account. The continuum is long. I think C4 have missed out that end a bit, breaking down stigma has to encompass all aspects of well being, not just the ones that look good on film.
I believe and I know many don't agree, that if we're to break down stigma we have to talk about mental well being as something which applies to us all. We are all on the continuum of well being. Someone tweeted me and asked if I had mental health problems, I said I didn't at the moment but recognised I was as vulnerable as anyone else. She did not like that and found it condascending. I am truly sorry for that, but I do. I know that if my life took a downturn and any one of a number of potential life stressors happened I would be vulnerable to struggles with my emotional well being. Me personally, I may develop difficulties with obsessions and compulsions, or anxiety, low mood or psychosis, I can well imagine any of these. Again, I am in no way belittling people who battle and have battled for years with their difficulties, they are (at the moment at least ) higher up the scale than me. But they can come down and I can go up. Others may be more likely to become paranoid or develop difficulties with their eating, every one of us is vulnerable, no exceptions.
As I said in a blog for Young Minds UK, it's not about them and us, it's about us.
I want people to be seen as people and not problems. Problems need to be understood but by understanding how people work then we may get better at understanding people when they develop problems with their well being. That is what I think children and young people in school ought to be taught, not that there's those with mental health problems and those without.
Jon has obsessions and compulsions (an obsession is the thought and the compulsion is the behaviour – basically I think anyway) but not OCD. He could be seen as having a little bit of OCD or he could be seen as Jon.
In some way we're all a little bit Jon.

On 7 February 2018, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) participated in the Luxembourg Viticulture Day in Wormeldange. This 10th edition was organised by the Luxembourgish Fédération Viticole and the Institut Viti-Vinicole and gathered the Luxembourgish community of wine growers.
This event put in the spotlight an activity which represents an important industry in the Moselle region of Luxembourg. LIST is active in this field and its researchers work in close collaboration with its partners on research projects aiming at contributing to the building of tomorrow's Luxembourg. The Luxembourg Viticulture Day started with the welcome note of the president of the vinegrower association Marc Weyer and continued with Fernand Etgen, Minister of Agriculture, Viticulture and Consumer protection, outlining political projects with implications on viticulture.
LIST researcher Daniel Molitor presented two research projects that are supported by the Institut Viti-vinicole: the project "Monitoring of pests and development of eco-friendly crop protection strategies in viticulture (BioVIM) and the project "Reduction of pesticide use in viticulture" (ProVino).
ProVino project has successfully ended in spring 2017 and enabled to evaluate non-chemical methods for suppressing or delaying fungal epidemics in vineyards for their potential to partly replace fungicides. The ongoing BioViM project focuses on the monitoring of the most damaging pests in viticulture by traditional visual assessments on the ground as well as by innovative remote sensing approaches. The project aims at contributing to the reduction of pesticide use in integrated viticulture as well as to the risk assessment concerning damage inflicted by pests in biological viticulture.
Daniel Molitor presented and discussed strategies for preventing fruit rot that were elaborated in these two projects ProVino and BioViM led by LIST researcher Marco Beyer and team.
The event ended up with a wine tasting during which participants and guest speakers could share more experiences on this topic.
> For any further information in this field, please contact Daniel Molitor or Marco Beyer via email.

White/Flea Bitten/Appaloosa~ Mare ~ DOB 1996? ~ Arrived 2016
Zephyr is a sweet Arab type mare. She was abandoned in Montrose, CO and came to us after the people who had been caring for her could not afford to anymore. She is very affectionate and loves people. Zephyr knows all her basic ground work but could use some practice. The only issue we have had with her has been with handling her hind feet. She will lift them fine but has tried to kick our farrier. She rides well in all three gates and has been ridden by a confident novice. She will occasionally take a misstep at the trot due to arthritis or possibly an old injury in one of her front knees.

High precision magnetometer for geomagnetic exploration onboard of the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite
- 110 Downloads
The China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) is the first platform of China's earthquake observation system in space and the first satellite of China's geophysical field detection missions. The high precision magnetometer (HPM), which contains two fluxgate sensors and a coupled dark state magnetometer (CDSM), measures the vector of the Earth's magnetic field with a bandwidth from DC to 15 Hz. The two fluxgate sensors are in a gradiometer configuration in order to reduce satellite interferences. Additionally, the CDSM sensor measures the scalar value of the magnetic field with higher accuracy and stability. Several data processing and calibration methods have been prepared to get accurate vector magnetic field data. This includes the calibration of each of the three sensors, the absolute vector correction algorithm, the spacecraft magnetic interference elimination and the coordinate transformation method. Also the instrument performances based on ground calibration activities are shown in this article.

Pros And Cons Of Making Meals And Vitamin Compulsory Topics
I wanted to cut down on coffee, and I regarded for the perfect healthy options. Which one is one of the best tasting, which one is the healthiest, what about the price per cup? I had an thought of comparability, and knew just a few substitutes for espresso, I had drank earlier than plenty of it. But because instances have changed, I assumed why not strive newer products, that can imitate the the true stuff taste better than what I knew. I was proper, the products in the marketplace now are amazing. Thanks for this very informative weblog. Fortunately my surgeon and his nurse gave me a number of good advice post laproscopic surgical procedure. Your weblog filled in the gaps. I had surgical procedure on 9/12 and I'm doing quite nicely.

Imphal, August 01 2010:
The United Naga Council (UNC) has announced to impose 20 days of economic blockade along the two national highways leading to Manipur starting from 6 am of August 4 .
The United Naga Council (UNC) said that this has been its expression of the democratic rights, without which there seems to be no way to attract the attention and response of the Government and the concerned authorities.
It is worth noting that the All Naga Students' Association, Manipur (ANSAM) had imposed 68 days blockade on the national highways leading to Manipur which ended on June 18 against the elections of the District Councils in Manipur hills.
On Sunday, the UNC announced to impose the 20-day economic blockade saying that the government of India failed to response to its ultimatum which ended on July 31 .
The UNC said today, "The ultimatum had been served following the declaration of the severance of all political ties with the government of Manipur by the Naga people in the Naga Peoples' Convention (NPC) held on July 1, 2010 and their decision to seek the intervention of the Government of India for an alternative arrangement for the Nagas in Manipur State" .
There are four points which the the UNC demands from the Government of India.
One point has been to institute a Judicial Enquiry into the May 6, 2010 incident at Mao Gate, where two students were shot dead and more than a hundred 'peaceful' protestors wounded by the Manipur State forces.
Another point has been the immediate withdrawal of the imposed section of 144 CrPC and 'demilitarisation' of the Naga areas by removal of the Indian Reserved Battalion (IRB) and Manipur police commandos.
It also demands for the removal of 'wanted' tags and fixing of rewards imposed on two Naga leaders.
The UNC then demands for the dissolution of the Autonomous District Councils which it termed them as 'undemocratically instituted'.
Meanwhile, the UNC appeals to all concerned to kindly extend their cooperation towards "this expression of our democratic rights" .
The United Naga Council said that it is compelled to resort to such agitation as the fiveday ultimatum submitted on July 27 to the Prime Minister of India has evoked no response till date.
"The Government of India's intervention had been sought on the irredeemably vitiated situation prevailing in the Naga areas in the present State of Manipur within five days of the ultimatum and the same was widely circulated to the media for the benefit for the general information of the public," the UNC said.

Downtown Specialty
Specialty neighborhood
Pleasant Pops
731 15th St. NW, Downtown
Pleasant Pops is crazy cheerful: It's bright, airy, and feels energetic without feeling too kinetic. Their signature, photogenic popsicles come in a rainbow of flavors that rotate depending on what produce is in season (for fall, it's peach hibiscus, cinnamon vanilla peach, or cranberry apple). And the coffee is reliably great, too. The downtown location is probably the most convenient, but the original Adams Morgan flagship is home to their market, which showcases the best of local DC purveyors: The shelves are lined with maple syrup, honey, pickled vegetables, and more.
1400 K St. NW, Downtown
The three owners of this easy lunch spot are actually cousins whose parents owned a series of traditional Afghan kebab spots in town—SKWR is their modern take on the cooking style they learned form their parents. The classic kebab elements, like seasoned meat and basmati rice, are reminiscent of mom-and-pop spots, but the serving style takes cues from Chipotle. Decide between a bowl, a plate, and a wrap, pick a meat, and top with endless mixtures of spreads and dips.

Integrating Enhanced Building Operations into Municipal Sustainability Programming: A Report from NYC
MetadataShow full item record
With municipalities setting goals for greenhouse gas reductions, there is an emerging need for model program designs based on quantitative analysis. Evidence is cited that commercial-institutional building retrofit programs can be significantly improved by commissioning and enhanced operation activities. Dimensions are defined along which program value is added: capture of high-payback O&M measures, early action, achievement of projections, and persistence. Based on parameters in the NYC Mayor's Office PlaNYC2030, a spreadsheet model is developed to quantify the value of including an EBO component with a Capital Projects program. Given project-cycle considerations, including EBO enables actions and associated energy reduction to begin more quickly under Operating Budget allocations. Although impressive quantified benefits are indicated market difficulties will inhibit the expansion of EBO. Engineering consultants, mechanical-electrical contractors, ESCOs, and facilities staff are at a relatively low level of readiness for undertaking true operational improvement programs. Root cause of this market condition is suggested to lie in the predominant capital-projects business model of the engineering and construction industry. Large municipal programs can be a lever in changing these market conditions. A set of recommendations is developed for program design the will facilitate incorporation of longterm EBO into more traditional energy efficiency programs.

Business Loans & Small Business Funding in Seattle
Maybe it's something in the water, something in the air or simply the spirit of the community, but many of the country's biggest companies have been launched in Seattle including Starbucks, Boeing and Amazon. Seattle is a historic place; some of the country's most important firsts – like the first smiley face appearance! – happened at this metropolitan hub of the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle is home to well over half of a million people and boasts one of the largest markets in the U.S. There's numerous opportunities for all different types of small businesses in this city. The challenge for small and medium-sized business owners in Seattle lies in the competition they face – like Amazon.
Business owners must work to retain current patrons or clients while simultaneously attracting new ones. With new businesses opening every day, more established entities must do more to retain their market share. One of the most efficient ways to compete with new businesses is to refresh the space it is based in or to add new products or tools.
When businesses look to update, they'll need the cash to achieve their goals. It can be difficult for smaller businesses to find the right amount of liquid capital with so much budget dedicated to assets and overhead. Thankfully, Fast Capital 360 has options to deliver fast business cash.
Commercial Business Financing in Seattle
In 2008, the world suffered one of the worst economic downturns in more than a generation. It was at that time that we realized that the banks didn't have the best interests of small business in mind. We took a look at how programs like business equipment funding worked and decided that we could and would do better.
Less than a decade after we decided to change how business financing in Seattle and the rest of the country works, Fast Capital 360 has been named the number one source of alternative funding options for small business loans in the country on CrowdReviews.com. We designed our funding process to cater to the needs of those who run small companies, services, restaurants and other establishments – not giant corporations.
Many banking institutions routinely make loan applicants wait 90 days to learn if they've been approved for small business lines of credit, seasonal business loan with some applicants reporting waits as long as six months. Our applicants are notified of their approval within hours, in fact, most users wait just 60 minutes to be approved for funding.
Once your funding program is approved, our funding alternatives to short-term small business loans (or unsecured business funding) can arrive in your bank account by the end of the next business day. Many business owners go from application for a working capital loan for your new business to cash in their hand in under 24 hours, even if you have bad credit.
Whether you need business equipment funding, retail business financing or any other type of funding alternatives to commercial loan in Seattle, Fast Capital 360 can help. Our business advisors are on-hand to help you evaluate each and every lending option available to you, even if it's one we don't offer.
For more information on why Fast Capital 360 is the best choice for shaping your business into what you know it can be, call us today at 800-735-6107 or contact us online today.

We past our third week of school, and the dust is finally settling. It seems that all the pieces are fitting together well, and we are pleased with how our schedule worked out.
But it's Saturday, and I'm really appreciating it. My alarm went off this morning and I was so confused as to what day it was and what I was supposed to be doing. I fell back asleep. Lucky for me it is Saturday, because I slept deep and hard and much too long.
I was driving home from Trader Joe's about an hour ago with Jacob and Andrew, our windows were down, and the air was perfect. One of the boys said, "I don't know why, but I'm just really happy today!" We each agreed. Sometimes that feeling comes - that fickle and fleeting feeling of happiness - and it's so good to stop and acknowledge it. Joy is possible in all circumstances, but the merry feeling of happiness is just so pleasant. It's a gift I am thankful for today.
Jacob and Andrew are now up in the tree having a snack. I just heard Andrew offer Jon help with some exterior repair work, which encouraged my heart!! Olivia and Michael are spending the afternoon at church: Michael has been given the opportunity to help set up sound for Sunday service, and Olivia gets to learn and practice playing the base with the band. They are both eager to learn and participate, which also encourages me! Jon is also learning something new (and saving us some dollars). He is learning how to repair a pool pump. He always models a good attitude of learning and working that I hope will someday inspire our children to great productivity.
Tomorrow afternoon I get to host a meeting for the staff of our youth group. I am so thankful for the work they do each week, and thankful for the impact they are having on my kids. I always look forward to hearing how things are going within the group and to think through ways Jon and I can support them. In addition, I enjoy figuring out simple ways to provide refreshments and to make a pretty table arrangement with what's already available to me from our home and yard. It's an enjoyable challenge in resourcefulness and creativity.
Since I'm really appreciating Saturday right now, I thought I'd post some pictures from recent Saturdays around here...
Andrew made a sort of zip line with ropes and some pulleys. His initial design required someone to stand in the bucket while the rider takes a turn on the zip line!
The coffee sack pillow covers I made a few years ago for the school room chairs have served us well, but three of the four started falling apart. I used some no-longer-needed Ikea curtain panels to make new covers. This is the extent of my sewing skills...
I made an extra cover for Olivia, and she added some pretty embellishments taken from an old article of clothing...
Jacob invaded my work space with his Legos...
From my work space at the table, I snapped this shot of Michael cleaning our windows.
One of the boys decided to bunch all my pins in one area. Who knows why boys do the things they do! Some of those pins are the old lead tipped pins from my great-aunt. She was a nun, and she wore a wedding ring because she was "married to Jesus!" That was humorous to me even as a child.
This was Jacob this morning, watering his growing collection of succulents and cacti. It's such a cute little hobby!
I hope you've enjoyed you Saturday!

This cool and casual outfit is something i pulled from my own closet and pieced together for something original and unique. I ended up loving the look and surprised myself even, as I didn't know I had these items in my closet that would even go together until I started to play around with the possibilities.
A white t-shirt, jean vest, and linen red jacket paired with a linen green and white striped wide legged pants. For accessories a fun tribal necklace in multi colors to pull the whole look together. A fun layered look with a touch of flare and attitude.
Here above, again starting with a white t-shirt, a grey wool vest and paired with a pair of white and black tuxedo wide legged pants. This outfit is great as a day or night look as it has a transitional appeal by just changing from black flats to black heels and red lipstick. The accessories? A black soft brimmed hat for the charm and a silver extra long tassel necklace to pull the look downward and create length and balance.
So much fun for SS/16, this ensemble is a tone on tone look on top that welcomes the fun patterned silk pants below adding dimension and conversation. The jacket is a beige tweed, linen, heavy rattan weave, that is very dressy. Paired with a tribal inspired white tank top with fringes, and these go get 'em pants with a tropical print. A fabulous look for this coming spring, as it's paired with this sweet floral necklace for a delicate embellishment around the simple collar.
And finally the oh so chic look for the day, as sequins are not only for the darkness of the night.
This final look is one of my favorites with it's lady like and functional qualities. A white t-shirt again take precedence paired with a sequined skirt and robe like sweater to make the look a daytime "can do". Jewellery is fun and quirky lending to the likable appeal and balance of the sequined skirt. Add some nude flats or mini heels and it's an eye catcher without looking like your next stop is the bar. This outfit can be taken seriously with it's clean lines and minimalism.
See what's hiding in your closet that you've forgotten, or haven't worn in awhile and rediscover some hidden treasures that you never knew you had. You may have a lot to work with to mix and match. But if it's out of date, has moth holes, stains, or doesn't fit, it's time to introduce it to the trash bin. Keep current and only keep what's fitting you now and is in fashion now. Don't be a junk collector or curator of past mistakes. Keep on point and as they say, "Stay en Fleek!"

Rs 1 lakh cr disbursed under MUDRA Yojana: PM
Loans worth about Rs 1 lakh crore have been sanctioned to small entrepreneurs under the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, emphasising that the government wants youth to be job creators and not job seekers. Speaking at the inauguration of Indian Oil Corp's (IOC) Rs 34,555-crore Paradip Refinery, Modi said apart from public and private sector, there was a need for developing "personal sector" in which youth can become self sufficient, start businesses and generate new employment avenues. "We do not want youth of the country to become job seekers, we want that they become job creators so that they give employment to one, two or five people. "So, under MUDRA Yojana we are giving fund to the youth. We have disbursed about Rs 1 lakh crore. Within such less time, giving so much money to such people is not a small thing," Modi said. Under Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana, which was launched in April last year, loans between Rs 50,000 and Rs 10 lakh are provided to small entrepreneurs. In India, about 65 per cent of the population is below the age of 35 years and for the progress of these youth, there was a need to boost entrepreneurship, Modi said. "We need to create employment opportunities for youth in the country. So, through MUDRA Yojana, we wanted to make the youth self sufficient," he said, adding that the government is moving ahead with the economic principle to make each individual and every family self sufficient. The Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Ltd (MUDRA) focuses on the 5.75 crore self-employed who use funds totaling Rs 11 lakh crore and provide jobs to 12 crore people.

Need help? Then look no further. A new app aimed at pairing domestic helpers with stressed out working mums on the hunt for childcare solutions has brought Hong Kong one step closer to being the land with an app for everything.
HelperLibrary, the first mobile app designed to connect employers and helpers, is available in English, Chinese and Indonesian. Focusing on six categories – domestic helpers, maternity specialists, part-time home cleaners, Chinese drivers, babysitters and foreign drivers – the two mums behind the venture, Lo Ka-man and Ho Mei-bo, say it heralds a "new era" in the domestic helper market (which is certainly in dire need of a shake-up; the app was released in March, the same month a Hong Kong Justice Centre report concluded one in six domestic helpers work under conditions of "forced labour").
Indeed any alternative to the nefarious employment agencies, especially one that gives helpers greater control, is very welcome.

First off, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope you had a good holiday - it's time to get back to work! The questions this week come from photographers. A lot of you ask how to break into the industry - there's no concrete answer. Some people work for years and catch their big break after lots of training and working and others land a big gig and are set for life. The only thing I can really suggest is working with professional photographer and networking with lots of people. Start off small but make big strides. I'd also like to say that these days, it's quite simple to buy a fancy camera. But you need to remember - that this does NOT make you a professional photographer. Practice makes perfect. If you want to be a photographer one day, then take a class and perfect your skill!
I'm trying to identify what type of photographer I am or how my photography is classified. Which direction do you think best fits me? Here's a link to my new website I'm working on!
JM DAYAOI love your photos! They scream fashion! They also show that you understand people. You should definitely pursue this. You live in the fashion capitol of the world so start working with agencies. You can start with their "New Faces" or "Development" departments. Again, great photos!
I'm a 26-year-old would-be fashion photographer. I didn't go to school for this and am absolutely clueless on how I can be exposed and so on. Do you have any advice for me on how to better network and meet the right people who can help me?
J & E PHOTOGRAPHYI really like your photos. You seem to be going in the direction of fashion photography. My advice would be to break into the industry by working as an assistant to a working photographer. When I was an agent, most of the assistants that I knew became working photographers. Not only will you get trained, but you will be networking with clients and building relationships. Remember - it doesn't happen over night. It will take time, but you're talented so trust yourself and go for it!
I was wondering if you can give me some advice about getting known in the industry for my photography.
EAGLES NEST PRODUCTIONSThese aren't fashion photos. You need more flair and to be more creative. Your pictures look like you are doing weddings or senior portraits. In order to make a name in the industry, you need to work with modeling agencies or work for a photographer who knows what they're doing. You need to work on your photography skills first - your portfolio needs to be edited. Practice more!
My name is Fred and I just got into photography and am looking to build my portfolio. I have shot a couple of models so far and am trying to pick a variety of sizes and ethnic backgrounds. I would like to get into the model photography field. Can you take a look at my pictures and give me some feedback?
DANNY CAMPBELLI hate to say this, but they look like boring shots of your girlfriend on a casual day. Anybody can do what you're showing me. I consider photography an art. You have to work at it and some people just have a natural talent for it. I would definitely take some classes and focus on lighting and composition. Work for a professional photographer and see how they work. With the digital cameras that are out these days, everyone can take a picture. Re-think what you want to do because there's a lot of work you're going to have to put in.
I would like some professional advice and guidance on my portfolio. This is only my third year shooting and I want to create an amazing body of work!
In the meantime,First of all, you only have one photo in your portfolio. You need more. I don't see anything with your portfolio. You have to be kidding me.
Have a successful day!
