well, that sucked
Congratulations to Espanyol on a famous victory, and Saviola for a cracking goal, despite everything else. A disgraceful result from Barca's point of view. Our lack of cutting edge up front is a big problem, obviously. It's simply not good enough for a team like ours to dominate possession without actual end product, especially when it's allied to bad defending. (Rijkaard wasn't too pleased about that part. I predict a tongue-lashing.)
Can't say much else right now, really.
But hey, Liverpool supporters? You're not the only ones who are wobbling right now. So no worries about that Champions League clash.
Edit: Frank's post-match comments. Measured as always, although you can tell he's none too happy about the performance. I thought Puyol's words were pretty fair too. I guess my one consolation is that even when we don't give a good impression on the pitch and get beaten, our guys are classy in defeat.

It was quite embarrassing, wasn't it? I'm still in shock. The Gudjohnsen pass to Saviola for the goal was very nice, and the earlier Ronaldinho free kick that almost was . . . was spectacular (nice fingertip save from Espanyol's Kameni). But most everything else was abysmal.
I suspect this may be a turning point for the team, though. The glass is half-full! Eto'o (and Messi?) will be back soon and we'll turn this lackadaisical start of the new year around. Finally.

Oh man. I'm just not going to think about it for a bit. How the team respond to this embarrassment is going to be key. You're right, it could be the turning point - either things will pick up quickly or I fear they may fall apart.
If Sammy was watching on TV, I bet he was mad as hell. Oh how we miss him.

I mean, I like this blog and more strange I want to comment about it...
Despite not sharing some of ur points of view or ways to see some football things I really enjoy reading ur articles. Usually I am not very modest when talking about football (because I'm always right ¿?, hahaha =P), but it is nice for me to found somebody that thinks different and got me interest in keep on reading, and more amazing, can spoke well his(her) mind.
Now talking about the match (and making a proper comment corresponding to the post), I'm not very surprised about the victory of Espanyol because it was posible, of course. I was really surprised about how bad Barcelona played. Without entering in the obvius (and for that i mean the abscences of Eto'o and the key man Deco), where was that hungry spirit wich they used to show not so long time ago...

What is the latest word on Messi and Eto'o? When are they due back? Will they be match fit in time for the champions league match in Camp Nou?
Linda, what do you think of the Mascherano and Tevez situation? I think that Mascherano will sign for us and there has been some quiet whispers of Tevez too. Do you think that these players can adapt to England? How highly do you rate them?

Angard: I think debating a difference of opinion (in a friendly manner, of course) is the most fun way to talk about football, so disagreements are not always bad.
I agree with you about the match. Because it's not in my nature to pile on I will not be too scathing, but in truth Barca need to improve now if they don't want their season to go crashing downhill. There's no excuse - Rijkaard himself said that he wasn't going to blame the injuries because nobody mentioned those when we were winning, did they?
Mal: Eto'o is back in training tomorrow, and fingers crossed if nothing bad happens he'll start playing again on the 24th. So according to schedule he'll definitely be back for the CL.
Messi is a bit trickier. He's coming back from Argentina on the 1st of February, by which time he's supposed to be ready to return to training, but he's notoriously fragile and I live in fear of a setback. I have my doubts about whether he'll be ready to start when the CL game comes around, especially since it's a metatarsal injury.
I do hope Mascherano goes to Liverpool. Sure, he might not play that many games, but things have got to be better than what they are at West Ham. That transfer looks very likely if FIFA will bend their rules. He's the best holding midfielder Argentina have at the moment, and he's only 22. Very composed, a good passer and unafraid to get stuck in. With time, he will adapt to the English game. In my opinion, he hasn't been given that time yet. But he will come good.
Tevez I think may stay at West Ham. He's been looking better for them, because he's had the adaption time that Mascherano hasn't. He could do well in the Premiership, as long as managers resist the urge to play him out of position on the wing (looking at you, Alan Pardew).
By the way, good luck against Chelsea. I'm sure Anfield will be magnificent as always.

Glad to see the post-match comments from Rijkaard and Puyol. Barca's grace in losing matches is always refreshing--I find the poor sportsmanship of teams who seem to blame everything except their own performance discouraging--as though they ought to win simply by virtue of just showing up.
A pretty ghastly day for us Barca fans all the same.
- 3:01 pm
- Greg G said...
I didn't watch the match, which was fortunate since I hate to watch Barça lose. The fire looks to have gone out of the squad from the looks of it. I'm not sure why, since they are Barcelona, they have Rijkaard as their coach, and they play a great game when they want to. Spoilt, possibly? They can't be any more tired than anyone else by this point. Does winning it all do this? That could be part of it. I just wish Eto'o was back in it now. He's a man continually on fire--for the goal.
- 5:04 pm
- linda said...
lynda: I think grace in both defeat and victory is my favourite thing about Rijkaard, other than his pasta-swirl hair and that whole 'Frankie' thing of course.
Joking aside, us Cules aren't having a good time, are we? Hopefully we'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon. (And his name is Samuel Eto'o.)
Greg: I hate watching Barca lose too - although I actually found watching El Clasico (which we lost) less painful than watching the match against Chelsea in the Camp Nou this season (which we didn't). But losing to Espanyol just stings.
I think tiredness is a factor, actually, as well as injuries. We've not be able to play a consistent back-line (including the defensive midfielder) for ages. Still, you're right. We can always count on Eto'o at least to have the right attitude.

Start the conversation
I'm not usually the kind of guy to say, "I told you so."
But you know what? I'm saying it.
Dark pools – private markets unavailable to the public – and high-frequency trading are manipulative schemes run amok.
They weren't always. Both were the result of unintended consequences. But that's all behind them. In front of them now are civil and criminal lawsuits.
Late yesterday, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman charged Barclays Plc. with fraud over how it markets its dark pool and how it operates it.
In a press conference yesterday after the market had closed, the AG said, "Barclays dramatically increased the market share of its dark pool through a series of false statements to clients and investors about how and for whose benefit Barclays operates its dark pool. Contrary to Barclays' representations that it implemented special safeguards to protect clients from aggressive or predatory high frequency traders, Barclays is accused of operating its dark pool to favor high frequency traders."
But that's not all Barclays did. Keep reading, and I'll explain all…
Dark Pools: Diving In
Barclays not only omitted pertinent information and facts about high-frequency traders' (HFT) access to their dark pool, but they falsified written material and presentation slides in a way that smacks of blatant fraud.
The promised protections were missing, among them limiting "predatory" players from the dark pool. And Barclays also allowed anyone into the dark pool.
Far worse, their own HFT desks were in the pool picking off clients.
The marketing material was obviously influential in attracting clients. Barclays' dark pool became the largest in the United States. There are some 50 dark pools operating in America – that's on top of 11 public exchanges.
And you can bet your bottom dollar there was money involved. According to market research firm TABB Group, the top three dark pools operated by Barclays, Credit Suisse, and UBS earned about $800 million in commissions in 2013.
That's just commissions, folks. There's no clarity on how much they made on their high-frequency trading, much of which was earned by reading their clients' dark pool orders and front-running them. My guess is that they made billions off their dark trading.
And here's what I'm predicting is headed our way next:

So last Sunday, I thought enough's enough. I really have to brave the heat & bring The Girl there. I believe it was SIG (thank you) who recommended that we go to the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.
Walking to the Children's Garden, we came across a foot reflexology path. After explaining what it was, The Girl, without any hesitation, took off her shoes & started running up & down barefooted. That's my girl, alright.
She was extremely curious and would stop me often to ask what the trees & plants were. Thank god the Botanical Garden is great about naming everything. I'd forgotten that they also have many fruit trees. It has been ages since I last saw a jackfruit tree.
The Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is the outdoor equivalent of the Science Centre. Lots of interactive stuff for kids to play with - like cranking the dial to generate mist
The Girl is all wet not because she was perspiring but because she had just been to the Water area. I didn't pack a swim suit & I couldn't say no to her especially since it was hot so I just let her play in her panties (therefore no pictures).
I wasn't entirely ill equipped, I did pack a picnic lunch & mat. We found a nice spot to have a picnic amongst the trees. As we're munching our lunch, I was thinking to myself why had it taken us so long to come here.
I had gone there thinking that we would be there for an hour, max 2 hours. We were there for 5 hours. She wanted to touch, feel & try everything.
The tree house was a big hit. She generally doesn't like to participate in any activity if there are too many kids around. But we went there just after a passing shower so it was empty. She could run around to her heart's content well at least until the other kids started to show up.
Then after that, she insisted on going to feed the swans. So we made our way across the Botanical Gardens again, looking for Swan Lake. Now you know why we were there for 5 hours, that & the ice cream break.
There I was feeling pretty proud of myself for having the foresight to bring a loaf of bread to feed the fishes. Until I met a family who not only brought loaves (plural) of bread but also bags of vegetables. Remember the swans in Geneva who loves bread, their Singaporean cousins would have none of that, they only eat leafy vegetables. The family has another little girl too. It wasn't long before they became friends & they very kindly offered The Girl bread & veggies for the marathon feeding session.
We had so much fun that we exchanged numbers & promised to have another play date there soon.

Some of the best scenery in Nova Scotia
Tourism focused shops and facilities.
Popular biking route destination.
Undoubtedly the symbol of Nova Scotia is the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove. It appears in every tourism campaign and is photographed more than anywhere else in Nova Scotia, if not Canada. It's very difficult to take a bad photo of Peggy's Cove.
The journey to Peggy's Cove in itself is an experience and a good set-up. Nova Scotia's quaint coastal beauty is on full display. Whether on a bike, motorcycle, or a car with the windows down, sunroof open or top down, the fresh ocean air helps contribute to one of the most refreshing commuting experiences on the plant.
The village of Peggy's Cove is a fully functional fishing village. The scenes here haven't changed for many decades, adding to the authentic charm. When you first arrive you are greeted by the William deGarthe carvings, which represent the rich history of the area. It's easy to see how art became a large part of the culture here.
Hiking in the area can be easy or difficult depending on how far you venture on the large granite outcrops. You can follow your own path as you scamper along the huge boulders and use the lighthouse as your point of reference. Proper footwear is highly recommended. There are plenty of warning signs about staying a safe distance away from the surf, for good reason. There are almost yearly incidents of someone getting swept away. This beautiful area doesn't need to be the site of more tragedy so please be cautious.
Be sure to check out adjacent Polly's Cove hiking area for a different perspective on Peggy's Cove. Also worth a visit is the nearby Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, one of the most solemnly beautiful memorials in the world.

Organisers of the Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships on the Gold Coast have cancelled the water-based sports of the event due to poor conditions.
Stormwater runoff has forced the closure of Gold Coast beaches and organisers confirmed late on Friday water quality wouldn't be good enough for competition events to be held.
"We appreciate this is disappointing," carnival committee chair Mike Martin said.
"But the safety and welfare of our competitors is first and foremost when making decisions of cancelling or postponing competition."
In 2010, teenage Sydney lifesaver Saxon Bird died after being swept away during an under-19 event at the championships and organisers were criticised at the time for continuing with the event.
Friday's decision means the only championships events to continue over the weekend will be First Aid, Rescue and Resuscitation (dry run only), beach events and Sunday's march past.

Revised BGA accident / incident reporting form
Reporting accidents, incidents and engineering/maintenance occurrences is an important aspect of managing risk in gliding. The BGA is fortunate in that we have a good reporting culture which provides really helpful data.
The BGA accident/incident report form was last published in 2005 and was in need of updating. The new form is available here.
The main differences from the 2005 form are as follows:
- New Introduction
- One-page form instead of a two-page form
- Like fields are brought together with fewer fields
- Many fields can be completed with one click
A prototype of the new form has been used by 9 clubs for a year. The feedback was positive. Proposals for improvement have been incorporated into the new form.
Please advise the BGA office if any significant problem is encountered in using the new form.

Hayneedle launches new app
Monday September 11 2017
Home furnishings online retailer Hayneedle has launched its new iOS mobile app
The app includes a visual search functionality that helps customers find exactly what they're looking for, and then make a purchase with a simple click of a button.

Analysis of cases of macular edema induced by prostaglandin analogues in patients operated because of primary glaucoma
Poster Details
First Author: A.Egorova RUSSIA
Co Author(s): A. Vasilyev A. Khudyakov
Abstract Details
Back to Poster listing
The analysis of cases of macular edema (ME), induced by prostaglandin analogues (PA) usage in patients operated because of primary glaucoma. Macular edema is considered to be one of serious early postoperative complications [Henderson B.A., et al., 2008; Schumer R.A., Camras C.B., Mandahl A.K.; 2000]. In spite of the fact that majority of publications devoted to this complication are related to cataract surgery, ME development can occur after glaucoma surgery.
Khabarovsk branch of the State Institution Eye Microsurgery Complex named after S.N. Fyodorov.
We have performed analysis of 4 cases of ME development in 4 patients who underwent nonpenetrative deep sclerectomy because of primary noncompensated glaucoma of I-II stage. Patients' age varied from 69 to 73 years (71±1,1in the average). Preoperative and repeated examinations enclosed vision acuity checking, Maklakov's tonometry, biomicroscopy, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Besides, all patients were examined by optical coherent tomography (OCT) on Stratus OCT 3000' device (Carl Zeiss,Germany) using 'Macular thickness map' analysis report. Preoperative IOP varied from 29-32 mm Hg on hypotensive regimen (0,004% travatan ophthalmic solution), vision acuity made 0.7-0.8. All patients had initial senile cataract, none of them had pathology of retina in macular area. Nonpenetrative deep sclerectomy according to Fyodorov and Kozlov technique (1984) was performed in all cases.
All operations passed uneventfully, postoperative period was also unremarkable. The IOP normalization (14-16 mm Hg.) was achieved in all patients at the discharge from the clinic (2nd-3st postoperative day) without any additional hypotensive therapy. Postoperative BCVA corresponded to preoperative and made 0.7-0.9. All patients were discharged for postoperative treatment in local clinics. All patients were prescribed travatan and xalatan ophthalmic solutions for instillation into operated eye due to IOP increase up to 24-26 mm Hg, and they have noticed lowering of vision acuity (down to 0.2-0.7 with correction) in terms of 2-8 weeks after beginning of PA instillations. BCVA was 0.2-0.35, IOP varied from 16 to 19 mm Hg on hypotensive regimen at addressing to our clinic. Biomicroscopy revealed mild injection of conjunctiva vessels in the area of surgical intervention, the signs of ME - pathological glare, mild folds of retina, weakening of foveal reflex were diagnosed using ophthalmoscopy. ME was proved in all 4 cases using OCT device, the increase of retinal thickness from 345 to 460 mcm in the central macular sector, retinal volume in macula was enlarged up to 7,6-7,8 mm3 were found, correspondingly.
It is not expedient to use prostaglandin analogues in early postoperative period after glaucoma surgery because of high risk of macular edema development. FINANCIAL INTEREST: NONE

The Opening Day Crystal Ball: 2011 MLB Predictions
Aaron Schafer
March 31, 2011 at 11:19 AM
I actually dressed up like this to write this post. I predict the itching of this beard will soon drive me to madness.
Just a bare handful of hours, now, until the
' 2011 season gets underway. Plenty of ink and bytes have been spilled talking about what the season may bring,
lots of it right here at the RFT
. All of that's over now, though. No more dissecting and discussing. The game is just around the corner.
So what is a scribe such as myself to do? Well, if he's clever and original, he might pen some sort of beautiful ode to the game of baseball itself, or
a heartfelt story
about what the game means to him, or a paean to great memories of Opening Days past.
However, it he just happens to not be so clever or original, said scribe might do what everybody else seems to do on Opening Day and write up a bunch of predictions he pulled from the depths of his colon. It would be sad to see someone stoop to that sort of predictable pandering, wouldn't it?
Predictions right after the jump.
To be honest, I love making predictions. I'm terrible at them (witness the horror that is my annual NCAA Tournament bracket), but they're still fun to make. Self-deprecation aside, if I could figure out some way to make a living doing nothing but predictions all day every day, a la the Year 2000 sketches from the old Conan O' Brien show, I would sign up for that job in a heartbeat.
So, without further ado, I present to you my official Opening Day Big-Ass List of Predictions Sure to Be Completely Wrong. Beginning with the division winners:
National League Division Winners
East -- Philadelphia Phillies --
Easiest pick of the day. Sure,
Chase Utley
is starting to look a little beat up on an annual basis, but the Phillies can still score in bunches, and
Roy Halladay
Cliff Lee
are the most terrifying one-two pitching punch in the game. I won't even bother mentioning the rest of their rotation. The Phils are the team to beat in the National League. Period.
Central -- Milwaukee Brewers --
I know, most pundits are picking the
. To that I say bunk. The Reds played well over their heads last year and will come back to Earth. Milwaukee, on the other hand, still has a fantastic lineup, and the spectre of
Zack Greinke
Yovani Gallardo
together in one rotation is enough to make me reconsider that thing I said just above about the Phillies' pitching combo.
West -- San Francisco Giants --
This is a tough one, because I think the Giants and Rockies are really neck-and-neck here. I'll give the edge to San Fran, though, because I like their starting pitching better.
Wildcard -- Colorado Rockies --
And the Rockies get their due anyway. I think the WC this season will be a two-team race between the Braves and Colorado, with the Rockies just edging it out at the end. Both teams have excellent pitching staffs, but I'll give the edge to Colorado's lineup combination of
Carlos Gonzalez
Troy Tulowitzki
American League
East -- Boston Red Sox --
Second easiest pick of the day. Boston is better than any other team in baseball, as much as it hurts me to say it, and the only reason this is a tougher choice than the NL East is because the division as a whole is much better.
Central -- Minnesota Twins --
This division could be a real barn-burner, with the Twins, White Sox, and Tigers all vying for supremacy. In the end, though,
Joe Mauer
Justin Morneau
are too formidable a tandem to pick against, and Minnesota has a track record of winning in this division the other teams just can't match.
West -- Oakland Athletics --
I'm going off the script here; the Texas Rangers are supposed to be the team to beat in the AL West. And if they had retained Cliff Lee, I probably would have picked them. As it stands, though, the Rangers' pitching staff is pretty good but not great, and I lovelovelove Oakland's pitching. The A's are a team that will have to win lots of games 2-1 or 3-2, but I think that will suit them just fine.
Wildcard -- New York Yankees --
How tired am I of seeing the Red Sox and Yankees both in the postseason every year? Um, really tired. Sorry. I couldn't think of anything funny to say. The Rays, humanity's last best hope for non-Boston, non-Bronx baseball, have taken a step back and will finish third.
World Series Champion -- Boston over Milwaukee in 5 games
Individual Awards
NL Cy Young -- Josh Johnson, Florida Marlins --
It seems like Johnson's name is right there every season when Cy Young talk comes up, but it also seems like every year he's trying to overcome missing time with some injury. I think he finally stays healthy this season and takes home the award.
NL Most Valuable Player -- Albert Pujols, Cardinals --
We've never actually seen Albert Pujols play in a walk year. I'm a little scared, to be honest. Plus, something tells me he's been stewing for most of the offseason about not winning the MVP last year. Albert is going to have a monster year, even by his standards.
AL Cy Young -- Clay Buccholz, Boston Red Sox --
You're going to hear a bunch of
Jon Lester
predictions for the AL Cy Young this year, and that's a really good pick. I'll go with Buccholz, though. For my money, he may be the most talented pitcher in the American League right now (tie for first with
Felix Hernandez
, probably), and I think he goes all Super Saiyan on the league this year.
AL MVP -- Adrian Gonzalez, Boston Red Sox --
This was actually a really tough choice, because I think there are a ton of different directions you could go, and a plenty compelling argument to be made for each and every one. In the end, though, I think Gonzalez has a huge season playing in
Fenway Park
. Take all those flyball outs to deep left field in Petco and turn them into doubles or home runs. It's going to be something to watch.
I won't hazard a guess for the Rookie of the Year awards, because playing time for young players is always a crapshoot. Keep an eye on the Giants'
Brandon Belt
, though.
Best Decision of 2011 -- Trading for Adrian Gonzalez --
It isn't tough to be smart when you have a billion dollar payroll, but the Red Sox are still really, really smart. Gonzalez is going to be a monster for Boston this year and in the future.
Worst Decision of 2011 -- Neftali Feliz, Closer --
Last year's AL Rookie of the Year presents one of the most intriguing decisions going into this season, and I think the Rangers made the wrong choice. Texas is going to keep Feliz in the bullpen and use him as a closer, which is understandable but still a poor use of resources. He'll be a fine closer for the Rangers, I'm sure, but the value of a starter is just so much greater. Just think if the Cards had kept Adam Wainwright in the bullpen following the 2006 season. Sure, we wouldn't have to watch
Ryan Franklin
pitch the ninth inning, but think what the rotation would have looked like the last couple years.
And as for the Cardinals...
I think the Cards are in for a long, frustrating year. Not that they'll be bad, but the NL Central is going to be a much, much better division this season, and losing Adam Wainwright was a huge blow. The bullpen is a little shaky, the middle infield is set to be just as big a disaster as the 2010 version was, and I just don't know that I believe in
Lance Berkman's
bat anymore. Ryan Theriot will prove to be the Cards' worst acquisition since
Kip Wells
. He will, however, give me a chance to link to the Kaiser Chiefs' "I Predict A Riot" video several times this season, for which I will be moderately grateful. Grateful because it's a built-in joke, moderately because I kind of hate that song.
The Cards will finish 85-77, third place in the NL Central, behind Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Milwaukee will take the division with 90 wins even, the Reds will win 87. The Cubs come in fourth with 84 wins, and the other two teams aren't worth talking about.
So there you go, sports fans. Go place your wagers now, and thank me when the dough starts rolling in. Or, if you prefer, just leave a nasty comment or two questioning my intelligence, parentage, and sexuality. Personally, I'm predicting lots of the latter.
Like I said, I love predictions.
Also, I apologise for the following, but I just can't resist getting a head start on the season.

Hi guys
This is my last post for 2010! I want to show you my last mani of 2010 and my first for 2011 ;-). I started with Ski Teal We Drop from OPI. I somehow forgot to mention this one in my best of 2010 list! It definitely deserves a spot! I wanted to great a gradient with Gossip Column from Color Club, but as you (can't) see it didn't work out well. The two colors are too much alike to make a good gradient. I finished with some Sparkle-icious from OPI.
What's your manicure for tonight? And what are your plans? I hope everyone has a good end of 2010 and a wonderful beginning of 2011!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blast

The Mariott "Hats and High Tea", Magic Millions this year was really a stand out even. With the refurbishment of the hotel and a mouth watering amount of High Tea delicacies we were really treated with spectacular fashion, gorgeous hats, champagne and a good laugh with a few dear friends.
Ladies were looking spectacular in their Gold Coast colours and tropical prints with flowers being the high note in the air, as the food was not the only delicious delight in the room it was also the flowers.
The food was delicious. Unfortunately hating sweets since my first child made me steer clear of the delicious dessert menu although there were plenty of the first course to dine on. This was the must to High Tea to do for the year. If you have to do any High Tea of the Year make sure it is the Magic Millions Mariott High Tea. Simply Spectacular.
Tracy Mac Hats featured again in glorious colours and fashions featured something for everyone. Congratulations to Glenda Newick for winning a $5000 marquee diamond necklace and Margaret won best outfit not only for the day but really for the carnival and Mildred of course took out the best hat award wearing fashion forward tassels.
I was lucky enough to be drawn the massage prize of which the next day I was spoilt to hours of ex foliating, massaging, then hands, feet and hair done. I was Cinderella ready for the ball that evening.
Thank you to all the lovely ladies I had time to have a chat with, it is always a pleasure. Make sure you drop by the Marriot soon on the Gold Coast because after seeing these pictures you will be spoilt for choice and will even make the fussiest eater happy.

Feel The Kern - Generating Proportional Fonts with AIpatrickgadd.github.io
Patrick Gadd trains a deep neural network to generate new fonts. To do so he uses bigrams, pairs of characters, encoded as one-hot vectors and so called style vectors, that represent fonts as his networks inputs. After training he can interpolate the font style of his bigrams between existing fonts. He then added an algorithm to combine the bigrams into full words. Well written article on how to encode characters and fonts for your neural net and the source code is included.

Welcome back to new Clinical Medics
We look forward to welcoming you back to College before your introductory course commences on Monday 10 September.
As the method of study and rhythm of the academic year is somewhat different to the life you have known as an undergraduate at Downing, it is hoped that the following information will outline what you need to know about being a Clinical Medicine student here. If you have any further questions, please contact either the Graduate Admissions Officer or the Tutorial Office.
Please ensure you visit the Tutorial and Admissions Office between Tuesday 14 August and Thursday 16 August to register and do the following:
- If you have a student loan, you will need to bring either your UK passport or photo driving licence as an identity check to initiate your payment.
- A new University Card has been ordered as a replacement for your existing card and will be exchanged on production of your old card.
- Collect important information.
Please note, if you are unable to attend the Tutorial and Admissions Office between Tuesday 14 August and Thursday 16 August, please bear in mind that if you have a student loan, it will not commence by the start date of your course. However, you are most welcome to register with the Tutorial Office up until 10 September.
Director of Studies
Your College Director of Studies, who is responsible for overseeing your academic studies for Clinical Medicine at Downing is Mr Justin Davies, a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon and Clinical Director of Digestive Diseases at Addenbrooke's. Mr Davies will email you directly to arrange a meeting as a cohort for the first time.
Your Studies
For further information about your studies, please consult the course timetable or the School of Clinical Medicine website.
Graduate Tutor
You will be assigned a Graduate Tutor at Downing College. Like Undergraduate Tutors, Graduate Tutors are also responsible for your general welfare and will represent you in official contacts with the central administration of the University. As a new graduate student, you are only required to meet your Graduate Tutor at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term 2018. Please sign-up for an appointment time on the Downing Tutorial Site for Students, which opens on Moodle from Monday 24 September onwards, at which point you will find out which Tutor you have been allocated.
It is in your best interest to inform your Graduate Tutor as soon as any illness or difficulty occurs which is likely to affect study or examination performance. In such cases, Tutors help to deal with health or other personal problems and are in a position to assist with special needs or disabilities. Requests to take examinations under special conditions can be arranged by the Tutor, who is contactable at any time throughout the year by email. Your Tutor can be seen by appointment and such appointments should be made via email. In an emergency contact the Tutorial & Admissions Office (+44 (0)1223 334811) or the Porters' Lodge out of office hours (+44 (0)1223 334800).
College Policies and Terms & Conditions
All students at Downing must read and agree to the following terms & conditions and College policies within the first week of Term as a requirement of living and studying at Downing. You will be able to do this online on Moodle from Monday 1 October until the deadline, Friday 5 October.
The Terms & Conditions and College Policies are as follows:
|Terms & Conditions or College Policy:
|Alcohol Policy
|Data Protection Statement (Students)
|Plagiarism Policy
|Respect and Dignity Policy
|University Card: Terms and Conditions of Use
Do I need to register with the College Nurse as a new student?
Students who have already seen the College Nurse as an undergraduate do not need to re-register. As usual, during clinic times you can come and see the College Nurse without an appointment. Alternatively, outside of clinic times please contact the College Nurse to schedule an appointment.
As a new graduate student, do I need to matriculate?
As you have already matriculated as an undergraduate student, you do not need to matriculate again, but you are most welcome to attend the Matriculation events on Monday 8 October. Please complete the Matriculation Dinner Form to indicate your attendance and any special dietary requirements by Monday 24 September.
Do I need a new academic gown?
You are now entitled to wear a BA gown which differs to the undergraduate gown you have been used to wearing. It may be possible to hire, borrow or purchase gowns, subject to availability, for such occasions from the Graduate Union. However, many new graduate students opt to have a gown of their own, which can be purchased directly from Ryder & Amies. Before ordering your gown, please contact the Tutorial and Admissions Office to obtain a voucher code, which can be redeemed at checkout to receive a discount on the cost of a BA gown. Gowns are available at a reduced price of £42.50 compared to significantly higher prices in the city (approximate cost £95 for a BA gown).

Today we're pushing out another free auto-update with new features for ProPhoto 6. Included in this update is:
- Create ProPhoto galleries from post/page editor
- Collapse blocks in customizer screen
- Set image alt attribute for image widgets
- Prevent drag/drop of protected images
Create Galleries from Post Page
To simplify a common workflow, in this release we've made it really easy to create a ProPhoto gallery while you're creating a blog post or WordPress page. Any time you're working in the WordPress media modal screen, you can now select a group of images and create a ProPhoto gallery:
Galleries that are created will have a title based on the post/page title you're working on, and will embed in the default template-specific embed style :
You can click from the placeholder to further edit the gallery or it's title, and you can also edit the embed to use any different gallery style, just like any other gallery placeholder.
We also added a new button allowing you to get straight to creating a gallery from the black ProPhoto media dropdown menu:
This will greatly simplify a common workflow of uploading a group of images for a blog post that you want to display as a gallery. You can do it all from the screen where you are creating your blog post now.
Collapsible Blocks in the Customizer Screen
Also new in this release is the ability to collapse, or minimize blocks in the customizer admin screen. To collapse a block, click the icon shown here:
The block will then move into collapsed mode, as shown here:
ProPhoto will remember which blocks you have customized, between templates, and sessions — so this should be pretty useful getting blocks out of your way that you rarely edit, so that you can focus on the parts you're working on, as shown here:
Image Widget Alt Attributes
Also in 6.17.0, you can now specify image alt attribute text for image widgets:
And More…
Also, we included in this release the prevention of drag-drop saving images for most browsers. This new feature will automatically be enabled if you have ProPhoto's image protection set to either "disable left and right clicks" or "disable clicks and add watermark", as shown here:
As always, there's more details and links to Github issues on our changelog, so head over there if you want more details.
Also, we updated our roadmap with a more precise view of the next pile of things we're working on, so if you haven't checked that out yet, it's definitely worth a quick perusal.

Virginia Jacko's extraordinary odyssey begins at Purdue University, where she is diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa while serving as a highly successful senior financial executive. As the darkness grew around her, she realized that she would slowly, but surely, go completely blind. Refusing to retreat to bemoan her fate, Virginia starts over as a vocational rehabilitation client at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Within four years, she rises from Lighthouse student to its president and CEO.
What do I think about this book? It certainly contains some interesting stories abd the occasional tidbits of useful information, although they often lack essential details. But after having read it all the way through, I couldn't help but feel that I just listened to the longest advertisement in history. Kaye Sue Nagle's less than great reading of Virginia Jacko's part in the book, often overarticulating as if she was adressing a class of none-too-bright first graders, certainly emphasized the things I don't like.
Like many of the less stellar rockstar biographies, large parts of this book feel like a not very reflective celebration of one's own greatness, combined with a "We are the Champions" hymn for the Miami Lighthouse for the blind, down to the marvellous sewing needles available in heir shop. The author's otherwise admirable self-esteem at times seems to border on arrogance, and could use a lot more reflection and perhaps a tad more honesty. All of us who try to get the message across, that blind people can do a lot more than sitting at home and listen to the radio, are walking a thing line between demonstrating the concept and showing off, but in this case, it seems to me that line has been crossed.
Do I like this book? I honestly don't know. On the one hand, I don't react kindly to people who sell me marketing material disguised as an autobiography. On the other hand, the story is at times quite interesting, and it could be useful to people who are trying to find their way as a blind person. It certainly demonstrates the fact that blind people can live a happy and successful life. If you're still in doubt on this point and don't mind all the lobbying and self-celebration, this may be a good read for you.

The time for procrastination is over. It's now park your arse or fail time. Ahead of me: one week of nothing but writing. Thanks to a concerted effort in preparation the word count has dropped to just 20,000. It's still a hard task, but a much more manageable 500 words per hour (for an eight hour day). The other thing this week has going for it is the bit to be written is the final third of the novel. The final downhill third of the novel where all those disparate fragments start coming together and you get that tingle of excitement that things are working and you're not such a lazy idiot after all.
We'll see.
Suffice to say, every time I get bored, I'll throw some kind of random observation up on this blog. Here's hoping I won't suddenly turn this into a sixteen updates a day kind of blog.

Nice work ^^ Awesome star field! It looks very fantastical.. The character is clean and nicely applied, but the low opacity makes her look like a ghost =X
Good work all around~ keep it up! ^^b

50 layers?!?! is that a lot or a little? (i really don't know)

Awww..it seems so cute~~~~~ So what if you used less than 50 layers~~~ How you did it matters more than how many layers there are~~

I have always been a daddy's girl (I desperately love my mom, but my dad and I have always been buds)! So it hurts me to know that he is in pain. Last week my dad went cross country skiing and fell and broke his back. Fortunatly he was not paralyzed and the doctor says he will eventually be up and playing again. After over a week in the hospital he got to go home yesterday. He has a long painful road to recovery and any thoughts and prayers you can give him would be greatly appreciated.
