The first thing I did was take the side off my case and measure it up with this piece of hard plastic. I placed the side onto the Lucite to see how big a difference there was. Since I wasn't going to cut the total area of 16.6" X 24.4", I had a lot of room to spare:

Fall wardrobe essentials, the idea behind this it to share essential items one should have to prepare for fall. What I love about fall is you don't necessary need a new wardrobe but instead improvise and re-purpose. If you looked at some of your summer items you know you can still wear them during fall season. Others with a bit of layering or adding tights would transform them from summer to fall items.
The fall wardrobes essentials list will give you an idea of items you can transition over and save you money. As much as I love shopping I am also conscious of budget restraints that I myself have currently. Re-purposing clothes for the new season is the best way to save your wallet. So here are the items that should be included in your fall wardrobe essentials.
Fall Wardrobe Essentials for 2017
Leather jacket are a staple in every women's wardrobe because they are so easy to style. Plus you just need to have one and it will match so many outfits and can be worn year round. I have had mine going on 4 years now and thought it's not real leather, it has lasted me this long. When I got it in new look it was a bit pricey £34.99 but I felt it was worth the investment and it truly is. During fall season you can still wear some summer clothing and add leather jacket to transition it.
Oversized cardigan or coats
Whilst oversized coats don't work well on me oversized cardigans do and I love having them. The beauty is you can wear them casually to run errands, lounge at home or even date night. There are multiple ways you can style oversized cardigans and coat and make them look stylish.
Canvas and ankle boots
The weather is changing and so we have to change the shoes to match it as well. Most of us it won't be much of a change because we've been wearing these throughout summer. I have practically lived in canvas shoes throughout summer and a couple of times in ankle boots. The British weather definitely was out of service therefore we had fewer days of sandals and flip-flops. We had more days of ankle books and canvas making the transition to fall season an easy one.
Related: Must Have Autumn Boost
Loafers are definitely news ones to me as I have often chosen canvas over loafers. Though they can make an outfit look smart and stylish I just never warmed to them. When a fellow blogger shared outfits that go well with loafers, I was hooked. Now I am looking at outfits that I can rock to work whilst wearing loafers.
Skinny and boyfriend jeans
You can never go wrong with having jeans in your wardrobe, be it skinny or boyfriend jeans. I like having both because when trying to dress smart casual skinny is your friend. For the days when you want to be dressed up but still comfortable, boyfriend jeans are it. The beauty about both these types is of jeans is how easy they are to style and how versatile they are too.
Having a scarf in your closet is a must whether you have British kind of weather or not. They are stylish, very versatile and can be worn with practically anything. Dependent on the type you choose, they can be worn as neck accessories or as hair ties. Some can be worn as sarong especially when you you're in need of one can can't find one. I love scarves, they can truly transform an outfit to make it or break it.
And their you have it, fall wardrobe essentials. You don't have to buy a new wardrobe maybe a couple of items but I bet you already have 90% of these items.

Interview Questions
When you apply for a job the most common technique in the selection process is the job interview. Job interviews can be extremely stressful. There is normally someone from human resources and one or two other managers that will conduct the job interview. There are a couple of methods that one can do before time in order to reduce the stress that one has before the job interview. By reducing your stress one can come across more confident and therefore answer the questions in the best possible manner.
Before you go for the job interview, research the company. This can put you in a good light as you need to know who you might be working for. You need to be interested in the company and this can shine through if you mention things about the company. There are standardised questions that most interviewers normally ask. The point of this is to have a standardised interview that is not biased towards any one individual. By taking your time to have knowledgeable answers about certain aspects of your life and career can go a long way to impressing the human resource managers. Here are a few common job interview questions that human resources might ask you when you go for your job interview.
Common Job Interview Questions: Work History
- Name of company, position title and description, dates of employment.
- What were your expectations for the job and to what extent were they met? –
- What were your starting and final levels of compensation?
- What were your responsibilities?
- What major challenges and problems did you face? How did you handle them?
- What did you like or dislike about your previous job?
- Which was most / least rewarding?
- What was the biggest accomplishment / failure in this position?
- Questions about your supervisors and co-workers.
- What was it like working for your supervisor?
- What do you expect from a supervisor?
- Who was your best boss and who was the worst?
- Why are you leaving your job?
- What have you been doing since your last job?
- Why were you fired?

Intravenous news: Infection Control Today reports "Approximately 400 people die every day because of a preventable hospital error the equivalent of a jet crashing every day and killing all aboard. In response to this silent epidemic, more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals will now receive an A, B, C, D or F Hospital Safety Score based on patient safety via a first-of-its-kind initiative. A panel of the nation's top patient safety experts provided guidance to The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits, to develop the Hospital Safety Score. The Hospital Safety Score is calculated using publicly available data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections.
"The Leapfrog Group's goal is to give patients the vital information they need and deserve before even entering a hospital," says Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "We hope people will use this score to talk with their doctor, make informed decisions about where to seek care, and take the right precautions during a hospital stay."
For the first time, the Hospital Safety Score will highlight the country's best hospitals and warn against the worst to save lives and bring attention to the nation's silent safety epidemic. According to recent studies, 1 in 4 Medicare patients will leave a hospital with a potentially fatal issue they didn't have prior to hospitalization. On average, one medication error per day occurs for each hospitalized patient, and more than 180,000 Americans die every year from hospital accidents, errors, and infections.
The Hospital Safety Score website – www.hospitalsafetyscore.org – allows visitors to search hospital scores for free, and also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. More information on the Hospital Safety Score can also be found on Sharecare, an online resource of health questions and answers, at www.sharecare.com/group/hospital-safety-score. Patients should visit the Sharecare website for detailed questions and answers on how to stay safe and protect themselves during a hospital stay."

Industry Updates
E-commerce, as a global trend in its own right, is set to increase in popularity and consumer uptake in South Africa this year. This is as a result of a number of supporting trends, from greater variety offered by e-tailers, to the evolution of tech offerings - such as shopping apps - and the profile and behaviour of shoppers themselves.
This is according to Kevin Tucker, founder of PriceCheck Africas largest product discovery and comparison service. Tucker notes that while there is already a lot of variety available online, more brick and mortar stores are joining-in. This has been greatly enabled by umbrella platforms such as PriceCheck Marketplace which is a perfect solution for retailers to move into the e-tailer space.
Tucker highlights the top five global e-commerce trends set to take off locally in 2017:
- International online retail sale days
International online sale days such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday are massively popular and profitable e-commerce opportunities and present South African e-tailers with the chance to reach more consumers (who are actively looking to make purchases) than they normally would. This trend really has great potential locally, particularly if retailers form partnerships or cross-channel agreements with each other. For example, an electronics retailer could join forces with a gaming retailer to form better deals, reach more potential customers and move more stock.
- Faster delivery turn around
What has been a hurdle in the local context, due to the unreliable nature of the South African postal service, delivery in South Africa through various providers and couriers has improved over the last few years. This improvement is likely to continue with delivery methods taking priority for businesses looking to stand out in the local e-commerce sector.
- Variety
A major influencer of local e-commerce growth in 2017, the increase in variety of product offerings online, e-tailers and the presence of online marketplace platforms is likely to continue.
While South African consumers have been able to make online purchases for everything from tickets for live shows to their Friday night take-aways, the variety of product and supplier options will continue to rise alongside the establishment of platforms such as PriceCheck Marketplace which provides brick and mortar stores with a reliable avenue to enter the e-commerce space.
- Customer behaviour evolution
As e-commerce offerings increase with the inclusion of brick and mortar stores and their products, which may not have traditionally been sold online, South African consumers will continue to become more aware of the safety and convenience of online shopping and will become more inclined to turn to e-commerce platforms for everyday convenience purchases - moving beyond current trends which fall more towards fashion and electronics.
- Mobile at centre stage
The use of mobile devices - and smartphones in particular - within the e-commerce space is a major consideration for organisations in terms of ensuring mobile-friendly online display settings, opportunities in developing mobile applications and introducing new payment options.
While the majority of mobile online shopping transactions tend to take place on desktops, shopping apps which are easy and convenient to use on mobile devices are likely to increase in popularity in South Africa this year.
Tucker says, As mobile penetration continues to increase rapidly, as it has in the past decade, Africas current contribution to global e-commerce sales is set to rise exponentially.
It is important to note that South Africa, as one of the most significant e-commerce contributors on the continent, is likely to take the lead in next level e-commerce adoption with sales expected to increase by around 40% over the next 10 years as consumers continue to shift their purchasing behaviour to increasingly favour the convenience of online platforms.
Staying up-to-date with the latest e-commerce trends and innovations in 2017 will benefit both customers and retailers by providing an optimal user experience as well as giving brands a better understanding of their client base, he concludes.

Bringing home a new puppy? Perhaps that's the best decision you have made. But your duty doesn't end here; rather, your responsibilities have doubled. Caring for a puppy requires almost the same efforts and care as that of a newborn baby. So before you plan to finally welcome your four-legged kid, make sure you are ready for it. This Golden Retriever puppy care checklist will come in handy.
Golden Retriever Puppy Care Checklist: What You Need to Know
Big, bold, and beautiful is how we describe the Golden Retriever, with a personality like none other. They are addictive, and when you bring one home, you tend to fall in love with this dog breed and cannot think of any other.
But when it comes to welcoming a Golden puppy home, advance preparation holds the key. Since you want a smooth transition for your furry buddy from his familiar surroundings to the new abode, it may help to keep note of the puppy care checklist. Perhaps you should be looking over the area where your furry pal will be spending most of his time.
Here are a few tips to puppy proof your home:
The List of Essentials
What is it that your Golden Retriever baby will be requiring first when he enters your home? Have a crate in place for the baby to rest and feel at home – a place he can gradually start to call his own and feel comfortable napping in. It's your decision whether you want a puppy-sized bed or one that can comfortably fit their growing size. One good idea is to buy an appropriately sized crate and make it puppy sized with dividers. You can use it to crate train your pup.
Alternatively, you cannot forget dog bowls – one for food and another one for water. Make sure they are already waiting for him when he comes home for the first time.
You may also need to invest in some puppy toys to keep the baby busy. Chew toys are essential to keep him from chewing away your belongings. Tug toys and fetch and treat-dispensing toys are great options. Make sure you choose appropriately-sized toys, which do not pose a choking hazard. Too small toys may choke your puppy's throat.
Food changes
Check with the breeder about the food the Golden puppy is used to eating. You do not want to abruptly change his food habits, as introducing any new food may cause stomach upset. This applies to the pedigree of different brands.
It's a good idea to slowly switch to a new brand of kibble. Gradually add a little amount of new chow to the old, so that there are no abrupt changes in the food your Retriever puppy has been used to.
Every day you can increase the ratio of the new food if he does not show signs of stomach upset when given for the first time. It should be a smooth transition in about a week if everything goes on smoothly.
Poisonous plants
Before you bring home a Retriever puppy, be careful of any plants that may beautify your lawn but could be poisonous to dogs. Many of these are also skin allergy triggers. A good knowledge of "toxic" plants can help you keep your Retriever safe at home, in the garden, or when he is accompanying you to a walk.
Your Golden Retriever puppy care checklist should include a special mention of these common offenders, which include yew, foxglove, daffodil, dieffenbachia, Lily of the valley, Autumn Crocus, Oleander, and wisteria.
Chewable items, cleaning products, and medicines
Never leave your shoes, socks, books, or belts within easy reach of your puppy. Anything small that looks chewable and can fit in their mouth is at risk. This goes for medicines as well. Keep all of your prescription drugs in a cupboard with childproof latches, so that your furry friend cannot get hold of them. Anything that looks attractive will grab their attention. It's better to be safe than sorry.
If a puppy chews an expensive item or ingests a cleaning product, it could be a choking hazard or even turn toxic.
Be extra watchful of your pup when he goes closer to garbage bins. He may end up tasting something that he shouldn't and it could turn into a medical emergency. Keep the garbage in lidded bins that can't be opened by your eager pooch.
Electrical cords
Hanging cables, electrical cords, and wires look highly attractive to dogs. They won't hesitate to play with them. There are several risks associated with electrical cords. There is a risk of shock to your puppy if he sinks his teeth into the cord. Additionally, they may chew any hanging cables that may be shock proof but surely raise your expenses, as you will need to invest in a new one.
Moreover, hanging wires can be a strangulation hazard as well and must be removed as part of your Golden Retriever puppy care checklist.
It's a good idea to get cord concealers or cord wraps so that they are secured and out of reach of your little buddy.
A Word of Caution: Golden Retriever Puppy Care Checklist
When your puppy arrives at his new home, let him settle in on his own. He may hide or feel shy. It's normal. You do not want to pamper him at the outset.
- Let him adjust to anything that startles or frightens him. Comforting a startled pup will only send him the message to be fearful. This isn't good for your furry friend and he may grow into a fearful adult dog.
- Dogs have a tendency to investigate the area, so allow him to do so, without constantly bugging him. Do not try to reach out to him and wait for the moment when he is keen to approach you. Let him come to you on his own. Gradually crate train him and put him in his crate once he appears to have adjusted to the surroundings the first day. Do not wait until night to start with crate training. It's natural for pups to scream when he goes into the crate for the first time. But it will gradually become a habit.
- A fixed routine works the best for pets. Pick up regular meal time, play time, and potty time, and you'll find that your pup settles in much quicker if they have a schedule. Potty train them as per the schedule, and he may never be involved in any accidents unless there is a medical reason.
There is a lot to think about when you plan to bring home a new pet. It's a good idea to follow the Golden Retriever puppy care checklist to ensure your canine companion's smooth transition in his new abode. When it happens, you can expect to have the best time of your life.

Diego Costa: I was about to leave Chelsea
Chelsea attacker Diego Costa has revealed he was ready to leave Stamford Bridge for Atletico Madrid due to family reasons.
Diego Costa has admitted that he was close to leaving Chelsea in favour of a return to Atletico Madrid ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.
The Spain international has been in superb form this season and tops the goalscoring charts with 14 goals.
He was not convinced Chelsea was still the right place for him six months ago, though, and seriously considered a return to Atletico for family reasons.
"Could I have gone in the summer? Yes, yes. I was about to leave," the 28-year-old told The Telegraph.
"I was about to but, well, I am happy here as well and that's that. Did I want to go? Yes, yes. I had the possibility to go to Atletico, because of a few things, the family, the life I have there.
"But not because of Chelsea, because, here, there is a lot of love with the supporters, with the people, so I am here very happy, I am very content.
"People love me a lot. There was one thing I wanted to change for family reasons but, well, it was not to be and I continue to be happy here. It was important too that the manager, from the very first minute, said he counted on me."

Wouldn't it be so much easier to figure out what your audience wants to hear and how they want to hear it?
Even better than that, wouldn't it be nice to have insight into the persona of the buyer you're trying to sell to or the reader you're trying to promote your blog to?
Of course it would! This insight would allow you to market your efforts more directly to those people actually looking to consume what you've got.
Well, with a little imagination and this little known Google tool you can get yourself a little crystal ball of your own!
Google Correlate is a readily available tool that allows you to see what Google searches correlate most closely with your own data set (or in our case our query).
Here is what Google says about this tool:
"Google Correlate is like Google Trends in reverse. With Google Trends, you type in a query and get back a data series of activity (over time or in each US state). With Google Correlate, you enter a data series (the target) and get back a list of queries whose data series follows a similar pattern."
So essentially if you type in a query such as 'Search Engine Optimization' you are able to return queries that follow the same search patterns (i.e. in a loose sense you learn which searches are most closely related to one another).
This is extremely helpful because searches that are related to one another often come from the same subset of individuals.
Why is this important?
Well, it is because you can form an idea of who these people are (with a little creativity of course).
Take for example my use of the search term 'Search Engine Optimization.'
You'll note that the search results return correlated search terms that most closely match my input term. You'll also note that while many of the terms such as web design, xml, meta tags etc. are closely related to my input term you will see that there are apparent outliers as well such as free templates, samples and distance learning.
If you consider for a second that perhaps these closely correlated results aren't outliers and in-fact help to define your target market then you might come up with something like this;
Target Market – Likely to contain a high proportion of inexperienced individuals looking to learn SEO (as noted through the basic terminology like web design, xml and meta tags). They like easier methods of learning using samples of work and templates and they likely have 9-5 jobs already (as they are looking for distance education).
So, with a little creativity you are able to create a picture and target an audience that now has a face and a persona. MUCH easier than trying to target an unspecified group and or consumer.
In this case, writing on SEO you learn that while you can speak in purely technical terms that you should consider a more educational approach so that you can appeal to a larger group of individuals.
The same approach can be considered for the buyers of SEO. How many of them have any technical understanding of what we do?
Very few from my experience, which is why I chose to take a more educational approach when selling my services to SEO buyers (believe me, it works).
For those of you in the USA you get the added advantage with this tool of clicking the button Compare US States.
With this function you are able to form an even better market as you'll be able to see the density of searches by state which can help you further develop the persona (such as political association, available activities being engaged in etc…).
All of this is extremely helpful when defining your target market. The more information you have about them the better.
I hope you see how useful this tool can be.
Check out our latest guide on how to use Google Trends To Define Your Target Market here.

^ (updated version adopted by the Lisbon Recognition Convention Committee, June 2007, Bucharest)
N.B. Institutions that intend to issue Diploma Supplements should refer to the explanatory notes that explain how to complete them.
Since the Diploma Supplement was adopted in 1999, it has been adopted as part of national legislation in many countries. Since 1999, there have been significant developments within higher education, notably as concerns the development of joint degrees2 and of transnational or crossborder higher education provision3. Other significant developments include the development of external quality assurance and/or accreditation and the introduction, within the European Higher Education Area, of national and overarching qualifications frameworks. Within the Bologna Process, Ministers have committed to issuing the Diploma Supplement automatically, free of charge and in a widely spoken European language by 2005. The Diploma Supplement has also been incorporated in the Europass established by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers in 20044.
Where qualifications are issued as joint degrees, double or multiple degrees or under transnational/borderless education arrangements, this should be noted in the Diploma Supplement, in particular in points 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 4.1, 4.3 6.1 and 8. Consortia offering joint degrees would be well advised to provide information packages on their degrees. Where relevant, these may be included with the Diploma Supplement.
(The numbers below refer to the numbered sections in the Diploma Supplement.)
1.1 Provide the full family or surname(s).
1.2 Include all given/first names.
1.3 Indicate day, month and year of birth.
1.4 This should identify the individual as a student enrolled on the particular programme which is covered by the Diploma Supplement, e.g. through the student's personal code in the institution's database. A national or State personal identification number could be included for those countries that have such systems of identification, in accordance with national legislation.
2.1 Give the full name of the qualification in the original language(s) as it is styled in the original qualification e.g. Kandidat nauk, Maîtrise, Diplom, etc. The original name of the qualifications may be transliterated into the alphabet or writing system used for the language in which the Diploma Supplement is issued (e.g. Latin characters for Supplements issued in English or Cyrillic for Supplements issued in Russian). Indicate if the award confers any nationally accepted title on the holder and what this title is e.g. Doctor, Ingénieur etc, and, if appropriate, a specific professional competence, such as "teacher of French". Indicate if the title is protected in law. If the qualification is a joint degree, this should be indicated.
2.2 Show only the major field(s) of study (disciplines) that define the main subject area(s) for the qualification e.g. ^ etc.
2.3 Indicate the name of the institution awarding the qualification in the original language. Where a degree is issued jointly by two or more institutions, the names of the institutions issuing the joint degree should be indicated, with indication of the institution at which the major part of the qualification has been obtained, if applicable.
The status of the institution refers above all to whether it has successfully undergone a quality assurance and/or accreditation exercise or procedure, and this should be clearly indicated. It may also be relevant to give the profile of the institution. If the provider is transnational or borderless, this should be clearly noted.
As a (fictitious) example, this information could be given in the following form:
"[Name of the institution] is a private non-university institution which has undergone external quality assurance by agency X in [name of the country] in 2003 with satisfactory results".
2.4 This refers to the institution which is responsible for the delivery of the programme. This is often, but not always, the same as the institution awarding the qualification (see 2.3 above). Cases are known in which a higher education institution entitles another institution to deliver its programmes and issue its qualifications through a "franchise" or some type of "validation", "affiliation", etc. In some cases that other institution may be located in a different country. If this is the case it should be indicated here. If there is a difference between the awarding institution and the institution delivering the programme leading to the qualification indicate the status of both. , see 2.3 above.
2.5 Indicate the language(s) by which the qualification was delivered and examined.
3.1 Give the precise level of qualification and its place in the specific national educational structure of awards (explained and cross-referenced to the information in section eight). For countries that have established a national qualifications framework, give the place of the qualification within the national qualifications framework. The framework itself should be described in point 8. Include any relevant information on "level indicators" that are nationally devised and recognised and which relate to the qualification.
3.2 Explain the official duration or workload of the programme in weeks or years and the actual workload including information on any major sub-components i.e. practical training. Preferably, the workload should be expressed in terms of total student effort required. This consists of the normal designated time on the programme including taught classes and private study, examinations etc. Where possible, the effort should be described in terms of credit, and the credit system should be described. European countries should translate the workload required for the qualification into the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)5.
3.3 List or explain the nature and length or workload of access qualification(s) or periods of study required for access to the programme described by this Diploma Supplement e.g. Matura (for access to a first degree programme) or Bachelor Degree (for access to a second degree programme). This is particularly important when intermediate studies are a prerequisite to the named qualification.
4.1 The mode of study refers to how the programme was undertaken e.g. full-time, part-time, intermittent/sandwich, e-learning, distance, including placements etc.
4.2 Where available, provide details of the learning outcomes, knowledge, skills, competencies and stated aims and objectives associated with the qualification. This information, which relates to outcomes rather than procedures of learning, will increasingly be the key basis on which qualifications are assessed. If applicable, provide details of the regulations covering the minimum requirements to secure the qualification, e.g. any compulsory components or compulsory practical elements, whether all elements have to be passed simultaneously, any thesis/dissertation regulations etc. Include details of any particular features that help define the qualification, especially information on the requirements for successfully passing it.
4.3 Give details of each of the individual elements or parts of the qualification and their weighting. For institutions that issue transcripts of studies, it will be sufficient to include the transcripts.
List the actual marks and/or grades obtained in each major component of the qualification. Entries should be as complete as possible and in accordance with what is normally recorded at the institution concerned. Cover all examinations and assessed components and/or fields of study offered in examination, including any dissertation or thesis. Indicate if the latter were defended or not. All this information is often available in the form of a transcript (a useful format for transcripts has been developed for the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System [ECTS], see point 3.2 above). Many credit-based systems employ detailed transcripts that can be integrated into the wider framework of the Diploma Supplement. If information on the credit allocation between course components and units is available it should be included.
If the qualification is a joint degree, indicate what parts of the qualification have been earned at which institution.
4.4 Provide information on the grading scheme and pass marks relating to the qualification e.g. marks are out of a possible 100% and the minimum pass mark is 40%. Tremendous variations in grading practices exist within and between different national higher education institutions and countries. A mark of 70% in some academic cultures is highly regarded whilst in other countries it is regarded as average or poor. Information on the use and distribution of grades relating to the qualification in question should be included. If more than one grading scheme is used, e.g. in the case of joint degrees, information should be provided on all schemes used for the qualification in question.
4.5 If appropriate, indicate the overall classification for the final qualification i.e. First Class Honours Degree, Summa Cum Laude, Merit, Avec Distinction etc.
5.1 Indicate if within the country of origin, the qualification normally provides access to further academic and/or professional study, especially leading to any specific qualifications, or levels of study e.g. access to Doctoral studies in Hungary. If this is the case, specify the grades or standards that have to be obtained to allow progression. Indicate if the qualification is a terminal (end) award or part of a hierarchy of awards.
5.2 Give details of any rights to practise, or professional status accorded to the holders of the qualification, in accordance with national legislation. What specific access, if any, does the qualification give in terms of employment or professional practice and indicate which competent authority allows this. Indicate if the qualification gives access to a 'regulated profession'.
6.1 Add any additional information not included above but relevant to the purposes of assessing the nature, level and usage of the qualification e.g. whether the qualification involved a period of study/training in another institution/company/country or, include further relevant details about the higher education institution where the qualification was taken. If the qualification is a joint or double/multiple degree, or if it was earned under a transnational or borderless education arrangement, this should be noted here.
6.2 Indicate any further useful information sources and references where more details on the qualification could be sought e.g. the department in the issuing institution; a national information centre; the European Union National Academic Recognition Information Centres (NARIC); the Council of Europe/UNESCO European National Information Centre on Academic Recognition and Mobility (ENIC) and relevant national sources.
7.1 The date the Diploma Supplement was issued. This would not necessarily be the same date the qualification was awarded.
7.2 The name and signature of the official certifying the Diploma Supplement.
7.3 The official post of the certifying individual.
7.4 The official stamp or seal of the institution that provides authentication of the Diploma Supplement.
Give information on the higher educational system: its general access requirements; the national qualifications framework (where applicable), types of institution and the quality assurance or accreditation system6. For countries party to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the national qualifications framework should be compatible with and refer to the overarching framework of qualifications of the EHEA adopted by Ministers in 20057. For countries which are members of the European Union or party to relevant EU programmes, the national framework should also be compatible with the European Qualifications Framework. This description should provide a context for the qualification and refer to it. A standard framework for these descriptions together with actual descriptions should be available for many countries. These have been created as a result of this project and with the co-operation of the relevant National (European Union and European Economic Area) Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC), European (Council of Europe/UNESCO) National Information Centre on Academic Recognition and Mobility (ENIC), Ministries and Rectors' conferences.

Each day,
I get to know life – both its ups and downs.
And both, I believe, help me get better each day.
Each day,
I get to know people – who push me up, and who bring me down.
And both, I believe, help me get better each day.
The life I have and the people around me are God-given reasons why I focus on making myself better, and not to think – never, that I am better.
Each day,
I try to make myself better in facing life and the people around.
And the more I face them, the more I long to be better –
to be better in understanding life's hardships and difficulties,
and to be better in dealing with the people I bump into in this life,
each day.

FRANKLIN TWP. � The U.S. Postal Service logo and inscription have been stripped from the former Fombell post office, and indications are that post office staff won�t return to the facility anytime soon, if ever.
Tad Kelley, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service�s Pittsburgh office, said Thursday that services at the Fombell Post Office on Route 288 in Franklin Township were suspended last month when the postal service�s lease expired.
�USPS was unable to negotiate a fair-market value lease with the lessor,� Kelley said.
Online records in Beaver County show that C.J. Betters Real Estate, based in Monaca, owns the property, but staff at the real estate firm did not return phone calls seeking comment on the lease dispute.
Fombell�s post office served residents in Franklin and Marion Townships in Beaver County and Perry Township in Lawrence County. Since the closure, Fombell�s postal services were transferred to the Ellwood City Post Office facility.
Those services include post office box rentals, although Kelley said Fombell residents could also rent post office boxes in Zelienople, which is a shorter drive than Ellwood City for much of Fombell.
Fombell residents who have rural home delivery or rent post office boxes at the Ellwood City Post Office will still retain their ZIP codes but Zelienople post office box renters would have to convert their box addresses to ZIP codes in that town.
And those residents will be able to take advantage of rural delivery services.
�Rural delivery is like a post office on wheels. Carriers sell stamps, pick up packages, and sell money orders,� he said. �They can provide many of the services a traditional post office can right from their vehicles.�
The Fombell post office�s three employees � a postmaster and two rural carriers � were reassigned, Kelley said. The rural carriers still have their old routes, but are based out of the Ellwood City Post Office.
Kelley said Fombell post office operations are technically �suspended,� but the postal service is no longer negotiating with Betters, nor is it considering relocating the facility. Converting the suspended status to a closure would require approval of several levels of postal service administration and a final rule of the Postal Rate Commission.

Clouds Over the Courthouse, originally uploaded by tomkellyphoto.
Early mornings in the desert are a special time. What's even more special is when there's puffy clouds floating against the blue western sky. Such was the case this past May during the Moab Photo Symposium in Courthouse Wash of Arches National Park.
It was a lazy morning. A day earlier I had driven in the pre-dawn hour to be in place at Mesa Arch. Today was going to be a bit easier. My favorite morning spot in Arches has always been Turret Arch through the North Window. But as I drove up the switchbacks as the pre-dawn light was tickling the sky, I could see I was in for a treat.
The clouds were racing across the sky, high enough to not block the sun as it crept up over the eastern horizon. The speed of the clouds diminished the opportunity for an HDR. But it wasn't necessary.
As dawn broke, the clouds initially blocked the sun. But it looked hopeful, so I setup. Then – boom – the skies broke, the sunlight painted Courthouse Tower, and the puffy cumulous clouds literally flew across the sky.
No, it's not an HDR. But the combination of white clouds against a deep blue sky and the brilliant redrock of Courthouse Towers made it a photograph to remember.

Immune Regulation of Viral Recrudescence
Principal Investigator: Cornelia Bergmann
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central nervous system (CNS) is a major target for acute encephalitic viral infections, as well as a reservoir of latent/persisting viruses. While effective immune control of persisting viruses in immunocompetent individuals is reflected by the absence of overt neurological deficits or pathology, this balance is highly tenuous. Studies supported by this award were the first to demonstrate that intrathecal antibody secreting cells (ASC) were critical to control CNS viral persistence even despite early T cell mediated control and presence of anti-viral serum antibody (Ab). We have also defined the regulation of ACS recruitment into the CNS by identifying the crucial chemokine receptor and chemokine. The reliance on local ASC for prolonged Ab output during neurotropic coronavirus infection is a critical observation, as it provides a potent non lytic mechanism of sustained immune control applicable to numerous neurotropic infections. Indeed, a vital local protective role of ASC is supported by other experimental CNS infections, particularly by RNA viruses such as Sindbis, Semliki Forest, and Rabies viruses. Intrathecal Ab synthesis is also well documented in humans during infections associated with neurological complications and the demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis (MS). However, virtually nothing is known about the origin, maintenance, and relevance of ASC in the CNS or other specialized microenvironments. The overall goal is to define the regulation of protective, yet minimally destructive ASC within the CNS, to combat infections where virus replicates in the CNS in the absence of overt blood brain barrier damage or inflammatory signals. The Specific Aims are to 1) determine the role of CNS resident cells in mediating ASC entry and localization within the CNS;and 2) determine the relative contribution of migratory ASC versus circulating, non Ab secreting memory B cells in maintaining ASC within the CNS. In situ hybridization combined with confocal microscopy in Aim 1 will determine the spatial relationship between chemokines, viral antigen, ASC localization and the microvasculature. The results will further reveal a central role of astrocytes in regulating ASC recruitment. Aim 2 uses transgenic mice in which germinal center derived ASC and memory B cells are phenotypically marked, to specifically test the role of virus specific B cells in contributing to ASC maintenance during chronic CNS infection. Adoptive transfers will define whether the initial burst of ASC in the CNS is sufficient to sustain local protective capacity. Non of these parameters have been studied during viral or autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The ability to trace ASC and Bmem using transgenic markers provides a versatile innovative approach to dissect humoral immunity in a non-lymphoid organ prone to persisting infection. The contribution of peripherally activated B cells rather than lymphoid tissue neogenesis, in sustaining intrathecal humoral responses during persistent infections associated with limited ongoing inflammation will be beneficial for understanding protective responses during human CNS infections caused by measles virus, rubella virus, JC virus, and HIV.

Let's face it: Sometimes the English language can be downright bizarre. The plural of ox is oxen while the plural of box is boxes, 'rough' rhymes with 'gruff' even though the two words only have two letters in common, and there are actually more than nine hundred exceptions to the infamous "i before e except after c" rule.
If you're still not convinced that the English language is full of oddities and conundrums, take a look at these five wacky sentences that are actually grammatically correct. Continue reading "Confusing Sentences That Actually Make Sense"

Looking into the future in World of Warcraft is a very difficult task. We should have a dance studio in the game by now, patch 3.3 wasnt going to be Icecrown but instead continue the lore to fill the gap leading up to Icecrown, and a lot more this is going to happens all didnt come true. In the same light, the entire leaked notes for Cataclysm gave us a solid prediction of what the official announcement was going to bring. So there are always some things that never happen and some things that do.
This year Ten Ton Hammer is taking a look ahead by asking each of our writers for their input on the upcoming year and what we think will be happening in WoW!
David Xerin Piner
In the upcoming year I see a lot of new improvements to the game that will make our gaming sessions more enjoyable and a lot more flexible. After the Lich King fails at taking over the world were going to launch straight into a long lull that wont be broken until the Cataclysm pre-patch that will hit the PTR a month or two after the first heroic Lich King kill on 25 man ICC.
More occy nerfs in the future? Probably.
During that lull youre going to see guilds break apart, like always, and everyone logging off for an extended break. That is until Cataclysm hits the shelves. Personally I believe that there will be two Blizzcons next year. One will take place on the west coast that will herald in the arrival of Cataclysm sometime in July with an east coast Blizzcon bringing about the first details on their next MMOG. My reasoning is simple, the Las Vegas Blizzcon hijinks showed Blizzcon in July. They confirmed that Blizzard had made calls to them and that they reserved the time as a way to entice people into coming, but why would they reserve a time that Blizzard was not talking about? Why would Blizzcon come in July, a time that the internationals usually happen?
I think that Cataclysm will be a really good expansion, but will not satisfy everyone. One positive note is that many players will see the new content by rerolling into something theyve always wanted to play. Assuming there isnt a rush to raid like with original WoW or The Burning Crusade then there should be a lot of players who get the chance to play what theyve always wanted instead of what they got stuck with.
One thing that hasnt been mentioned a lot is the idea of hero classes. If Blizzard is making all of this new content for lower level characters then why wouldnt they introduce the real hero system? You know, the one where you choose a hero class and get sent back to level 1. Honestly, if you had access to the hero system at say level 60 and the non-hero cap as 80 (say there is some kind of bonus of achievement for going over level 60 as a non-hero) then there would be major incentive for new players to go through all of this new content theyre making. Sure, its a crazy idea, but it does make sense on some levels.
In the upcoming year well probably see more licensed merchandise too. I say this so that I can never be wrong at least on something.
Jason Memnock Bechdel
In the upcoming year I see (not surprisingly) Cataclysm bringing in record numbers, and even managing to bring old school players back to the game. Blizzard will continue to introduce interface options that dont quite make the grade (think voice chat), and will continue to try to over simplify the game, pushing away the old school players who were drawn back by the new expansion.
Blizzard will finally announce the details behind its top secret MMOG, spreading worry throughout the World of Warcraft community that World of Warcraft updates and expansions may cease to exist. Finally, the Horde, finding itself with a new Warchief will begin an open revolt against the new regime, in hopes that Blizzard will reinstate Thrall.
Byron Messiah Mudry
Blizzard will further simplify the already over simplified game of WoW
with the new character stat and gear system. This will cause hardcore players and intelligent players that like fiddling with gear and
numbers to get upset that the game is becoming a joke, however
there will still be nowhere else to go.
The huge number of average players and noobs out there will still
scream that the game is too complicated and gear to hard for them to
Cataclysm will launch far later than most players would like, having
long since cleared Icecrown Citadel. During this lull in new content
many players will leave the game for lack of anything new to do.
However once Cataclysm launches player numbers will sky rocket once
again, servers will crumble under the load and we will all once again
worship at the throne that is Blizzard.
Blizzard will once again dominate the RTS section of gaming when they
launch Starcraft II. As soon as it launches it will become the number
2 game out there, and possibly even number 1 replacing World of
Warcraft for a short time. The only real questions about it are: Will
it beat WoW sales numbers and will players really buy more than one
copy so they can play the different quest lines. I quess we will find
out soon!
Reuben Sardu Waters
For better or worse, the launch of Cataclysm will usher in a new phase for World of Warcraft. While Blizzard will quite likely achieve record breaking first week sales at retail, the current king of the MMOG hill could also experience its first true taste of seeing a sizable exodus within the first critical month after Cataclysm goes live as players come to the conclusion that the game they knew and loved for 5 years no longer exists, but they instead get to play their existing characters in a strange new world that has the same basic shape of Azeroth.
Expect to see breaking news headlines as the first players to hit level 85 will do so in less than 24 hours, cashing in on their 15 minutes of internet fame. Meanwhile, the first cries for a WoW Classic server will become the bannable topic of the day on the official forums.
Hardcore raiders will have an epiphany when they suddenly realize that theyve actually been playing an MMOG catered to casual players all along. Theyll completely erase those same thoughts from their memories mere moments later when Blizzard leaks the first details on their next MMOG project which will naturally be Hardcore with a capitol H. Dazzle camouflage FTW.
Forum riots will break out when its discovered that PvP flagged Worgen characters can be skinned by the Horde. In an attempt to appease the angered Alliance masses, Tauren characters that fall in PvP conflicts will begin dropping stacks of Ice Cold Milk. Unlike its current form, however, the new drink will provide an Anti-Skinning debuff aura that persists through death.
Last but not least, shoulder armor that drops in level 85 raids will become so absurdly huge that a new Back Brace slot will be added along with the new Chiropractics secondary profession. The oft neglected sock slot will remain suspiciously absent from the game.
Now that you know our predictions, why not take a look at what happened in 2009 in our Year in Review article before dashing straight into next year.

On Friday 22 July Councillor Mary Locke and volunteers from Bournville Labour Party purchased £600 worth of food for B30 Foodbank from the Stirchley Co-op, thanks to the generosity of our local community.
The money to buy the food came from a variety of sources. Thanks to local people's generosity, we raised £250 from our tombola at CoCoMAD festival earlier this month. Cllr Locke topped this up to £300. Thanks to Cllr Locke's good relationship with Central England Co-operative, she was able to persuade them to match our donation, allowing us to purchase £600 worth of food.
What food did we buy?
£600 allowed us to buy lot of essential foods like tinned meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables, as well as long-life milk, cereals, rice, pasta, soup, tea, and more. We also bought nappies and other essential non-food items.
Altogether, we were able to buy 330.40 kg of food. This is equivalent to 1,376 meals, which is more than the average person eats in a year!
Where does the food go?
After buying the food, Roger, an experienced B30 Foodbank volunteer, transported it to the foodbank's warehouse, where it will be distributed to families in need throughout the summer holidays and beyond.
Demand for emergency food supplies is particularly high during the summer holidays. With around 30% of children in Birmingham claiming free school meals at school (more than double the national average), many parents will struggle to feed their children when schools are closed and some will be referred to B30 Foodbank for emergency support.
Growing demand for foodbanks in our local communities
Since opening in 2013, the B30 Foodbank has operated from the Cotteridge Church two afternoons a week. In 2015, it gave out 4,913 three-day emergency food supplies to local people in crisis and expects this figure to be even higher this year.
Despite being located between chocolate-box Bournville and Restoration-site Kings Norton, 40% of the children in the locality live in poverty. Low wages and job insecurity mean that many local families can find themselves in crisis.
Reflecting on the day, Cllr Mary Locke said:
"At CoCoMad a young mother's story brought home to us how widespread poverty and hunger are in our community, and how family incomes are suffering as a result of this government's policies. I would like to thank everyone whose generosity allowed us to support the vital work of B30 Foodbank."

Alanya is located on the eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, in the valley of the Taurus Mountains. Also known as the Turkish Riviera.
Alanya - a city where 300 days of sunshine per year! Alanya is the warmest city in Turkey. Due to the subtropical climate, even in winter the temperature does not fall below +15 +20 degrees. Alanya and the surrounding area is truly a paradise on earth and is one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean Coast. The color of sea water in Alanya gradually varies from blue to turquoise. When the orange trees are bloomed, the whole city becomes perfumed scented with oranges. During the whole year, you can see the blooming gardens and the flower beds. In Alanya rest the soul of a man!
Alanya, a city with a great infrastructure, on one side surrounded with the picturesque Taurus Mountains, and on the other side, warm and clear Mediterranean Sea with clean endless beaches. Rafting on the wild waters that flow in a narrow channel of a mountain stream called River Dim, you can enjoy a swim in the cool natural sources and have picnic in the nature. The mountain slopes are full of banana plantations, orange, tangerine, lemon and pomegranate trees. A unique combination of ancient monuments, the extraordinary nature and festive atmosphere make Alanya always a welcome place for rest and life in Turkey.
The city was founded by Greek colonists in the second century BC, and in the Roman times the city has long been home to smugglers and pirates. In the seventh century BC, Mark Antony cleared the Antique Alanya of pirates, and gave the city and its all to Cilician Cleopatra, who used local cedar wood for shipbuilding.
Then began a period of almost thousand-years history of the city in the Byzantine Empire, and in the seventh century was in decline because of the Arab raids.
In the thirteenth century, the city was captured by the Seljuks and renamed into Alaiye in honor of Seljuk Sultan Aladdin Keykubat. The Red Tower and as well a significant part of the city walls of the Fortress was built by Seljuks. Due to its proximity to the Seljuk capital Konya, the city surpassed Antalya as commercial and military port. In 1571, the city passed to the Ottomans and became the winter residence of Sultan Bayezid II. In the dockyard of the city, warships those cruised the Mediterranean were built for Ottoman conquerors.
Eastern and Western cultures are organically combined into one. the presence of almost all nationalities of the resident population and representation of many religions give Alanya a unique color and originality. By about 30 thousand foreigners Alanya has been choosen a place of residence.

From John Adams to John Jay, 16 June 1787
Grosvenor Square, London, June 16. 1787
Inclosed is a Copy of the translation from the Dutch into English, of the Contract entered into by me in behalf of the United States by Virtue of their full power for a million of Guilders. This measure seems absolutely necessary to prevent the total Ruin of their credit, and the greatest Injustice to their former creditors, who are possessed of their obligations: so the failure to payment of the Interest, but for one day, would in holland cause those obligations to depreciate in their Value like paper money.
It is of great importance that this contract should receive a prompt ratification in Congress, and be retransmitted to Amsterdam as soon as possible, Whether this loan may not enable Congress, or their Board of Treasury, to raise the Credit of their own Paper at home in some degree, is for them to consider, and whether the Board of Treasury may not purchase Produce to Advartage and contract to have it delivered free of all Risque & chrges at Amsterdam and pay for it in Bills of exchange I know not.—If they do this I should advise them to send one Cargo to the house of Willinks, and another to the house of Van Staphorsts, instead of consigning the whole jointly to both houses. This would not only excite an Emulation between the two houses, to make the most advantage to the interest of the United States: but would prevent delays and other inconveniences which must arise from two houses meeting to consult and dispose of a Vessell and Cargo.
As the brokers or Money Lenders, were pleased to insist upon my signature to all the Obligations, I was obliged to make a tour to Amsterdam, for that Purpose, and happened to enter the City the day after the First Riots, which continued two nights while I was there.— The Proceedings of the Prince of Orange have at last brought on a Crisis, and the English are holding out an appearance as they thought it probable they might be obliged to take a part in it.—If no foreign power interferes, the Patriotic Party, is so much stronger than the other, that I think the Prince must give way, in the principle Points in controversy. If any one foreign power interferes, many others must follow the example. This being well known, and France and England, weary of War for the present, I hope the Dutch will be left alone to Settle their own Disputes.
With great Respect I have the Honor / to be, dear sir your most obedient / and most humble Servant
John Adams
