1. No player may be optioned to a minor league club whose regular season (including post-season playoffs) has concluded.
2. No player may be optioned to the minors prior to the start of Spring Training.
3. An injured player cannot be optioned to the minors.
4. A player who is optioned to the minors generally must remain on Optional Assignment for at least ten days. (A player optioned to the minors during Spring Training generally must remain on Optional Assignment for the first ten days of the MLB regular season). The only exceptions are if the player is traded or claimed off waivers, recalled as the "26th man" for a doubleheader (second game of the doubleheader only if two games were scheduled after a postponed or suspended game from the previous day), or is recalled to replace a player on the MLB Active List (25-man roster) who is traded, claimed off waivers, or placed on the MLB Injured List, Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List, Paternity Leave List, or Restricted List (but only pursuant to a suspension or administrative leave resulting from a violation or possible violation of the joint MLB-MLBPA JDV policy or a suspension resulting from a violation of the joint MLB-MLBPA JDPTP policy).
NOTE: If a player is acquired in a trade and is optioned to the minors by his new club within 24 hours, the player can be recalled from the Optional Assignment at any time without restriction, but if a player on Optional Assignment to the minors is claimed off waivers and is then optioned to the minors by his new club, the ten-day limit does apply. So as far as the ten-day limit is concerned, there is a distinction made between acquiring a player in a trade and claiming a player off waivers.
5. All players on Optional Assignment to the minors must be recalled no later than the day after the conclusion of the MLB regular season.
6. A Rule 6 "Selected Player" cannot be optioned to the minors until restrictions have been removed.

8. Per Article XIX-A of the CBA, any player on an MLB 40-man roster who has accrued at least five years of MLB Service Time (as well as an international player with Article XIX-A contractual rights) has the right to refuse an Optional Assignment to the minors, or the player can elect to be a free-agent immediately upon being optioned (he has two days to decide).
If a player eligible to elect free-agency is optioned and elects to be a free-agent immediately, his contract is terminated and he receives no termination pay.
If a player with Article XIX-A rights refuses an Optional Assignment but does not elect free-agency, the club must either retain the player on the club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) AND Active List (25-man roster), trade the player, or give the player his Outright Release.
A player with Article XIX-A rights can waive his right to refuse an Optional Assignment in advance, but the waiver cannot be signed more than ten days prior to MLB Opening Day, the player has the right to designate in advance which minor league team to which he can be assigned, and the waiver automatically expires if the player is not optioned to the minors within 45 days or by the 45th day of the MLB regular season (whichever is later).

COPY MACHINE SALES ALTOONA IAThere are several good factors to think about a copier lease when it comes to purchasing or leasing. Right here are a few reasons that a lease could be best for your company.
You most likely do not have the resources to keep upkeep staff handy for any kind of troubles that might emerge with office devices if your company is tiny. With a lease arrangement, you usually have at least partial insurance coverage on troubleshooting as well as basic upkeep. The lease may define a certain variety of solution calls monthly or for the duration of the lease. In either case, it liberates your personnel to focus on service as well as not stress over dealing with a trouble with the copier.
Second, replacement components are not constantly affordable when it comes to photocopier. A good copier lease generally has has a listing of components that can be mounted and changed at on the house. Other parts may be referenced in the copier lease as changeable for a fee that is well below market average. As a bonus, you do not need to hang around finding as well as comparing rates on substitute components. The copier lease guarantees you will certainly have replacement components that are as well as work cost reliable. You may also find that many copier leases include stipulations to supply you with a functioning copier while your unit is down for repair service.
Upgrades are easier with a lease. Just as with lots of kinds of office devices, copiers become much more sophisticated with each passing year. Additionally, your organisation might grow, which would certainly bring about a demand for a copier that can take care of bigger work. Numerous vendors are more than satisfied to take your copier lease and roll it right into a brand-new lease for an up to day design. This conserves you the inconvenience of getting rid of the older copier and also permits you to update when and also as you need.
For several companies, both large and little, leases just make good sense. Between the built-in upkeep, the capacity to upgrade when needed, and the tiny headache involved needs to a component require to be changed, a lease is a fantastic choice.

Cirque du Soleil's incarnation, Luzia, opens Friday and it's going to be wet and wonderful.
"One of the main special effects is our water system, it's a huge element," Michael Gill said.
"There's a pool in the stage and water curtain above. We make it rain. There are patterns and words."
Gill is the head of lighting and special effects. He's been with Luzia for about three-and-a-half years and six in total with the company.
"You get to travel the world, meet different people, experience different cultures. It's just amazing."
There are challenges with water in a show of this size, he said.
"Moving the show from city to city and then the temperature of the water. Obviously it can't be too hot for the artists or too cold, so it's finding a balance."
The production's publicist says a lot of talented people are involved.
"We travel with 67 trucks of equipment," Charlie Wagner said.
"We have a really unique stage. For the first time, we've been able to bring water on the road. It's a big stage, it's a big piece."
The talents of 46 artists from 17 countries are employed.
"It's crazy and wonderful to see what they are able to do," she said.
"They are the best at what they do. We have divers, jugglers, pole artists, flyers and even an amazing contortionist."
That amazing contortionist is Aleksei Goloborodko who got the circus performing bug at an early age.
"When I was a kid, I asked my parents to take me to the circus. They took me there, and since then it has been my big dream to be a circus performer," he said.
"When I was eight, my coach showed me Cirque du Soleil and then that become my big dream. I auditioned in Moscow at the age of 12 or 13. One day they just called me and asked if I wanted to join them, and of course I did. Now I can say, I am living my dream."
Cirque du Soleil Luzia runs until Sept. 22 in Calgary.

Banks' Liquidity Crunch Is Unabated, Industry Declines Further
Sept. 30, 2019 (EIRNS)—The final day of the third quarter and of the U.S. Fiscal Year 2019, with over $100 billion of new Treasury debt being issued, again saw short-term interest rates jump out of the range, and control, of the Federal Reserve. The New York Fed has pumped about $350 billion in urgent short-term liquidity into the banking system since Sept. 17, but still cannot keep its overnight lending rate within the 1.75-2% range it announced on Sept. 18; it will have to keep offering overnight loans of up to $100 billion every day until at least Oct. 10. Underneath this banking system stress, meanwhile, the industrial economy continued to decline.
While the banks' demand for Monday morning's "repo" lending stopped at $63.5 billion of the $100 billion the Fed was prepared to lend, the overnight funding interest rate again got out of control. It opened (7:45 a.m.) at 2.7-2.8% and ended (9:00 a.m.) at 2.3%, well above the target range. And the range for the two-week loans which the Fed last offered on Friday, Sept. 27, was reportedly 2.6%. If the upward pressure moves long-term rates up as well, bankruptcies will ensue in large numbers.
The Purchasing Managers' Indices (surveys) on the U.S. economy have been published for September: The "services" index was at 50.9, indicating slow expansion; but the industrial/manufacturing index was at 47.1, in significant contraction for the fourth month of the past five. Some tell-tale signs were reported by MarketWatch: Wisconsin and Indiana both have lower factory employment than they did one year ago, in September 2018; they are the most manufacturing-intensive U.S. states. Michigan and Ohio both have lower factory employment than at the end of 2018. Only Illinois has factory employment growth in 2019—by just 400 jobs. Overall those five industrial states have employment about flat compared to one year ago.

[shhh-thunk] Hey guys, this is NUSensei. A lot of people who get into archery for
the first time and want to buy their first bow have faced the challenge of picking
the right draw weight. I've done videos on draw weight before,
but this is something I continually keep getting asked is "what draw weight
should I use for my first bow?" Something like 20 to 30 pounds is okay.
That's a pretty general ballpark figure. Now to complicate things, you can find
charts online that recommend certain bow sizes and certain draw weights for certain
people, and, unfortunately, as easy as it is to find this information,
a lot of this is pure bollocks! I'm sorry to say this, but the
information is so generic and unhelpful it's actually harmful to a new buyer
because a lot of people who look at this chart will see things like "if you are
this age and this body weight you should be using a 60 pound bow." That's crazy!
There's no basis behind this recommendation. Now, for bow sizes it makes some sense because
if you're using a full-size target bow or large longbow, a hunting bow, then yes there
are certain advantages to using a longer bow. You don't have to follow the
recommendations, but draw weight? It's ridiculous because a lot of these charts don't factor
in what kind of bow you use. You might be using a recurve or a compound,
but these charts don't distinguish. Above all your body weight doesn't
really count for much. If anything, in archery, it doesn't matter how much you weigh, you still can't use a heavy bow if you don't
have the strength, endurance, and stamina, and so on. So, you just have to be very careful when
reading these charts, and, if anything, ignore these charts. A lot of my
time spent on my Facebook page, on my channel, and on reddit is meant to be
pointing out to people: don't follow these charts! *sigh* Anyway back on topic!
Now, the topic of draw weight is something which is brought up very often and for good reason. A lot of people feel that they are peer
pressured to use a heavier bow. "Anything less than 45 pounds is not manly enough." Now again, I've done a video on draw
weight egos before, but let's say you have the chance to try a bow in person, in store. Well, how can you tell what draw weight is right for you? Many people who go shopping for a bow in
person will have this kind of experience. They'll find a nice looking bow, and they go "Oh yeah, 45 pounds. Yeah, I lift weights. I'm a
very fit guy. I do swimming and athletics and so on." "So I should be able to handle a big bow."
And the other common thing they do is they'll pick a bow up and they'll pull it back once and go "Oh yeah, that's pretty easy. I can pull 45 pounds." The thing to remember, however,
is that archery isn't about doing one shot. This isn't powerlifting where you're trying to
do the heaviest weight possible. In archery you'll spend hours shooting most days
if you're really into it, and you have to be able to control the shot.
Archery is not a power sport. Strength helps. Strength can get you using heavier bows,
yes, and heavy bows do have certain advantages. Yes, but archery is not a power sport.
It's a precision sport, and you have to balance out the weight of your bow versus
how much control you have over your shot. One easy test you can do is to hold
the bow at full draw for 30 seconds without significant shake. You will notice an absolutely huge
difference between what you perceived to be an easy weight which you can pull once, and
something which you can shoot multiple times over a long period of time, and this
is especially useful if you get the chance to use the bow in-store or you
get the chance to borrow someone's bow at the club, for example. Again I'm bringing out my two bare
bow recurves. I've got my 45 pound Samick Sage and my
"wimpy" 25 pound OMP Adventure 2.0. What i'm going to do is the 30 second test,
which means for the next 30 seconds I'm going to stand here and hold my bow.
I'm going to show you a back view, and while I personally can handle a 45-pound bow, watch the amount of shake that starts to
kick in at around 10, 15, and 20 seconds. And maybe this will help! That actually wasn't too bad.
Let's try a whole minute. All right, so that worked better than I
thought again, but then again I have been shooting 40
pounds for years, so, holding a 45-pound bow at my draw length shouldn't be
unexpected. I've completed the one minute barrier. I did feel that burn, so, if I was
choosing a bow, and I did this test for 30 seconds, then I'd be more confident that I
could control the shot process, assuming that I've learned the basics,
but let's compare that to a 25-pound bow. Now that was about 45 seconds.
I stopped because I was feeling that cramp and burn coming in, but I did do the Sage for one and a
half minutes so that's a big factor here. The big difference, I'm not sure if you could see it on
camera, was that there was absolutely no resistance that I could feel from a 25 pound bow.
The burn that I was feeling was just from muscle fatigue from having to stay expanded for more than
30 seconds, and that's the thing you have to consider that you don't want to fight
against the bow. If you are using a 45-pound bow, if you can confidently handle it then
fantastic, but if you can't handle this weight, and remember I've just done long holds for
nearly two minutes, if I want to do it again, I don't want to feel like I can't
hold this for 30 seconds, but this is the thing, you don't want to
fight against the bow. The bow is meant to be an extension of you and your shot
process. So, if the bow is too strong for you, it will completely ruin your archery
experience. Not only do you not shoot well because you can't control it, you risk serious injury if you're not
built up to do what I just did, and I'm not a fit guy, but I've been doing archery for 5 years now. If you can't do this for 30 seconds at
your chosen draw weight then you may be seriously over bowed. It's much better to
shoot a lower draw weight and control it for longer, than have to fight against
the bow. And it really depends on what you need your bow for.
If all you're doing is this: then you don't need to go for a very high
draw weight. If you just want some fun casual backyard shooting then you can
do that frequently and comfortably with a lighter draw weight, and you just have
to get over the fact that having a high weight doesn't mean everything. People don't need to shoot heavier than they need to. People who go hunting, for example, have a need.
People who shoot competitive outdoor target archery have a need, but for the average
archer, if you don't need to extend your range or have the best velocity, you just
want to have some recreational fun, then you don't need to push yourself to
go for a heavier draw weight. Now yes, there is a certain satisfaction
that comes with shooting higher draw weights. It feels nice. It zips straight.
It comes off the fingers nicely. Yes, that's something which can be a
mid-term or long term goal. You don't have to
push yourself so hard and so soon. And yes, some people do archery
for the physical challenge. I get that. I think that is a very fair
reason to do archery, but again, archery is primarily a
precision sport not a power sport, and you shouldn't try to confuse the two or
do both at the same time. Learn the form and finesse first, and then, as you increase your
strength and endurance, then work seriously towards heavier bows. There's also another bit of advice which gets
passed around, and that is "you can grow into your bow." Most people can grow into a 45-pound bow
or 50 or 60 pound bow after a few months of shooting.
To some extent this is true. Shooting itself is an exercise, and if you do it frequently
enough, you will, over time, gain the strength and endurance needed to shoot
the bow comfortably, assuming all else is OK. Form and finesse and precision and so
on. But you can physically work up to most draw weights. That is an acceptable fact.
I can understand that, but at the same time it makes assumptions about people. It assumes that you are active.
It assumes that you are going to shoot regularly. It assumes that you want to shoot a higher draw weight.
If you are guilting people to shoot a higher draw weight
just because they can, then that could ruin their archery
career because they might never reach that stage. Again, the average person
might be someone like me! I'm just, you know, a professional high school teacher
who sits at a desk and plays computer games half the time. I don't have that natural
ability. I'm not an athlete. So I can't expect someone like me to go super
saiyan and suddenly use heavier bows because someone told me to. That said, if you do want to use a higher draw weight
for hunting or competition, then it is something you must set to achieve.
You have to make this a goal. It's not much different from going to
the gym and lifting weights or doing bodybuilding or doing powerlifting.
You have to set reasonable goals. You have to work towards it, and that
means you may have to go to the gym to do weight training to increase your strength. You might have to use your bow.
The same exercises I demonstrated, trying to test the bow for 30 seconds or a minute, those same exercises can be used to
increase your strength and endurance. So, yes, you can work up to it,
but the key is it something you must work up to. You aren't naturally gifted with the strength
and endurance to use most bows. Now, yes, some people do have that physical
ability, but the average person must work towards it. So, if you are keen to use heavier bows, and
you're not at the stage where you can comfortably use one, don't let it stop you, but you must
actually work towards it. That means shooting frequently.
That means, often, doing extra training when you're not shooting, and only then can
you comfortably handle higher draw weights. It isn't a natural process. Every person is different. Some will
grow more than others, but the average person needs to consider these things when
picking draw weight. As usual, it's better to start low then go high, once you feel comfortable, but if you go high then just understand there are certain things
you must do to maintain your fitness and endurance to shoot well. Anyway, this is NUSensei.
I hope you found this helpful. Thank you for watching,
and I'll see you next time.

Senator Maureen Walsh will follow a nurse an entire 12 hours.
Senator Walsh. I demand you follow a nurse at a local hospital on her full 12 hour shift. I demand that you remain with that nurse the full 12 hours, eat when she does, go to the bathroom when she does and leave for home when she does. None of your extra breaks, or privileges. You have decided not to exclude Nurses from mandatory overtime because you do not have the faintest clue what we do. How critical it is to avoid over exhaustion which leads to burn out. How could you? You do not actually work. You barely serve your state a full 30 days then the senate closes session and you people are on vacation again. You could of course just hold a press conference and publicaly apologize and acknowledges you have absolutely NO knowledge of Nursing duties.
Declare Kerala Flood a National Disaster
India's monsoon season has hit Kerala with enough force to trigger landslides and rushing waters so strong that people are being swept to their deaths. So far, more than 183 people have died due to the severe weather, over 2 lakh displaced and there are still weeks of monsoon season to go. Monsoon season in India is often a sight to behold, as the natural beauty is enhanced with vibrant greens which normally underly the Asian countryside. However, when the waters become severe enough, the landscape gives way to a deep brown as floods engulf vast swathes of the country. This year's deadly flooding has taken much more of a toll on Kerala, as people are being crushed in landslides and drowned by steadily rising water. The major Kerala city of Kochi has seen its Cochin International Airport close as rains swoop in. Now areas of Kochi are cut off, and flights are being redirected to nearby cities Thiruvananthpuram and Calicut. State government is working hard to remove those under threat from the area and provide the necessary assistance where needed. Minister for Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu assured citizens via twitter that they would still receive assistance despite closures. He said: "The Ministry of Civil Aviation and the domestic airlines will be extending full support to the State Government of Kerala in airlifting food items and other relief material free of cost on their scheduled services, subject only to operational constraints, if any." The Foreign Office has also issued warnings for travelling in the area, saying that people should be taking care if on holiday in India. Fears of a natural disaster comparable to the Kerala's great floods of 99 are also now gripping residents. It's time for the Indian Government to declare the Kerala Flood a National disaster.

Fire the Broward County Police Officers That Used Unreasonable Excessive Force on Delucca
While the officers whose names haven't been released to the public, were acting under color of State and Federal law as an employee of the Broward County Sheriff's Office, they subjected Delucca to the deprivation of rights and privileges including the constitutional right to not be deprived of his liberty and the constitutional right to be free from the use of excessive force against his person. On April 18, 2019, in Tamarac, Fl, two officers employed by the Broward Sheriff's Office used excessive force on Delucca, a teen who wasn't physically threatening them. In the video, Delucca bent down to pick up a cell phone and one of the officers pushed his head. Lucca asked the officer why he pushed his head and the officer pepper sprayed him then threw him to the ground. Once he was on the ground, another officer straddled his back, bashed his face into the concrete twice, and punched him in his head. Further, during the brutal attack, Lucca placed his arm under his face to protect it from further injury and now they're charging him with resisting a police officer. Plus, Jeff Bell, the president of the Deputy Association states that Lucca took a step forward towards one of the officers. That's inaccurate! After the officer aggressively shoved his head, Lucca was knocked off balance and he instinctively tried to regain his balance. Since the force utilized by the Officers against Delucca was excessive, unreasonable, and in violation of Federal and State laws, as well as accepted police practices within the United States, the officers should be fired and charged with battery. Please stand up for what is right and sign this petition FREE Delucca and drop all charges against him #JusticeForLucca If you have questions contact me at sonyaparker.com or on Twitter @SlimPhatty Also, email Sheriff Gregory Tony of Broward County, Fl: email@example.com And Internal Affairs firstname.lastname@example.com
ESPN : Honor Kendrick Castillo, Joshua Jones and Brendan Bialy at the 2019 ESPY Awards.
On May 7th 2019, the Highlands Ranch, Colorado community was forever changed when a shooting occurred at the Highlands Ranch STEM School. 8 students were hurt and 1 was killed. During the shooting, Kendrick Castillo, Brendan Bialy and Joshua Jones ran at the shooter and tackled him, giving their classmates time to take cover and escape. Kendrick Castillo gave the ultimate sacrifice of his own life in the process. We, as a Highlands Ranch community, believe that these three brave heroes are deserving of the 2019 Arthur Ashe Courage Award. This award is given out yearly at the ESPYs through ESPN and is given to individuals or a group that "stand up for their beliefs in the face of adversity," and that is exactly what Kendrick, Joshua and Brendan did. We have a chance right now to make a change, stop these mass shootings and make these three true heroes so well known that nobody will be able to recall the name of the gunman. Please sign this petition.
I Stand Behind Jeremy Kappell
Jeremy Kappell was the chief meteorologist for WHEC TV out of Rochester, NY. Jeremy had a slip of words on air regarding Martin Luther King Jr. Jeremy was fired from his job. He was not given a chance to explain or apologize. This is a good man who had no malice, no intent, no wrong doing. This was an honest slip of the tongue that could happen to anyone. We are all human, we are not perfect. Is destroying this man's career and slandering him in the press a deserved action? The TV station automatically just fired him. If they are going to judge him so harshly shouldn't they have heard him out? We believe this is not deserved. We believe this judgment on his career and character is unjust. We want Jeremy Kappell back on the air. We stand with Jeremy Kappell.

FOX News remove Megyn Kelly
Megyn Kelly is a news person with an agenda. Instead of reporting the news, she attempts to distort and manipulate facts to support her own agenda. Her latest victim is Donald Trump. A news source should not be trying to influence the American Voter. FOX professes to be fair and balance but Kelly loads her panels with those that support her views. This has become a typical FOX News ploy during these elections. Kelly needs to be removed from her position until she has learned the mantra "The facts, ma'am, just the facts."
Stop Calling Immigrant Prisons "Detention Centers"
My name is Sylvester Owino, and I was in "immigrant detention" for 9 years. My name is Carlos Hidalgo, and for a year and half I was incarcerated in "immigrant detention centers." That is what the media, government, and for-profit prison companies who run these facilities call them, but in reality, these are immigrant prisons. These prisons incarcerate children, families, and members of our community. People in immigrant prisons are not serving a sentence, but simply awaiting the outcome of our request to stay in the US. Those of us who have lived behind the locked gates and barbed wire know that the term "detention center" does not accurately describe the conditions and truth of what happens on the inside. We, who have survived these brutal places, are requesting that media organizations - The Associated Press, The New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and other influential media outlets, call these facilities what they are: immigrant prisons. Until we are honest about the fact that these are prisons, the inhumane conditions inside will continue to be covered up by the term "detention center," and the corporations running the facilities will continue to make millions off of the suffering of the people inside. If these are harmless "detention centers" … Why do they look like prisons, why are they run like prisons, and why are they owned by prison companies? We were incarcerated in facilities run by the two largest for-profit prison companies in the country. Carlos was in GEO Group's Adelanto immigrant prison, and Sylvester in CCA's Otay immigrant prison in San Diego, among other facilities. We both experienced countless human rights abuses. We worked for the for-profit prisons for $1 a day, cleaning and cooking. Carlos was put in solitary confinement for 6 days for organizing a hunger strike to protest inhumane treatment. Sylvester filed complaints on behalf of friends who were beaten by guards. In Adelanto immigrant prison, 3 people have died in the last 7 months, and 6 people have attempted suicide since December 2016. Dozens of us have gone on hunger strikes to try and change things. In order to end the abuse, we must first call them prisons and then close them. Starting with Adelanto.

Because I played The Oregon Trail as a child, I greatly appreciate air travel. For a few hundred bucks I can traverse America in hours, not months, with no fear of breaking my leg, starving to death or contracting dysentery. So I consider the hassles of air travel minor, although they are glaring.
The largest problem, as I see it, is a lack of 1:1 storage. The plane is going to leave at the same time whether I board first or last; all I care about is that there's space in the overhead compartment for my rolling carry-on. But just one inconsiderate person with a puffy jacket or a cowboy hat can erase available storage space for his seatmates.
The second-largest problem for me, which is probably the largest problem for the airline, are delays caused by inefficient boarding. Bording the plane from back-to-front sounds, on paper, like it would be the most efficient way. But it isn't. Why not? And what method would be the fastest? YouTube channel CGP Grey attempts to answer both questions here:
By the bye, fans of The Oregon Trail: There's an online version you can play here. Load it up next time you've got a layover at Dallas/Fort Worth.

I am trying to pair 2 routers (a bit futile, given the models) one being a Cisco 837 ADSL router and the other being the telecom supplied thomson 585v7. The reason I want to use the thomson is because of the wifi ability.
Why am I not upgrading the cisco to a wifi model? mostly because I'm reluctant to purchase any new equipment until I see something better come out in terms of supporting VDSL2.
I have everything working, in a sense, the wifi connects and uses the Cisco's dhcp pool (turned off on the thomson), but speeds over the wireless to the internet are at about 1/6th what they should be. (Speedtests plugged straight into the cisco over ethernet are 6 times higher). Latency is normal for wireless, just the speed is a bit too slow to the Internet. I haven't yet tried an internal network transfer over wireless > wired, the signal quality for wireless is "Excellent" at 54Mbps. Any ideas on rectifying this? Have I left something out on the Thomson that I need to do?

Mission impossible: Northern Ireland can beat Germany or Holland to Euro 2020 spot, says Dallas
Stuart Dallas believes beating Germany or Holland to set Northern Ireland on the road to qualification for the Euro 2020 finals would top everything he has achieved in his career to date.
The 28-year-old has become a huge favourite with the Green and White Army, thanks to his tireless and inspirational displays for the cause and is well on his way to becoming a Northern Ireland great.
When Michael O'Neill's team play the Germans and Dutch later this year, the wide man will be one of the manager's key figures and Dallas will relish the challenge of facing up to some of the best players on the planet in matches which will determine which two nations make it out of Group C and reach the next big major international tournament.
Northern Ireland top the table on 12 points, having secured victories home and away against Estonia and Belarus. Germany are in second spot with nine points from their three games, with the Dutch in third, having collected three points out of six to date. Belarus and Estonia have nothing to show for their efforts and have become the also rans halfway through qualifying.
Germany entertain Netherlands on September 6, one night after Northern Ireland host Luxembourg in a friendly. Then Joachim Low's men will travel to Belfast for a clash with O'Neill's side on September 9.
Northern Ireland are away to Holland on October 10 before finishing the campaign with a sensational double header at home to the Dutch on November 16 and in Germany three days later.
Over the past couple of years, it would be hard to find a more consistent performer for Northern Ireland than Dallas. Throw in the fact that the Cookstown man featured heavily in the Euro 2016 finals for his country and he has already achieved much at the highest level. There could be even better to come.
"We have had great success qualifying for a tournament, but one thing I've never really experienced is beating one of the so called giants of world football," says Leeds star Dallas.
"I have played against Germany, but haven't beaten them, and of course I've been involved in special Windsor Park nights like when we won against Greece to qualify for Euro 2016, but to be able to take on Germany or Holland and beat them in Belfast would top everything I think, especially if it put us in that position where we were on the verge of qualifying.
"I don't think we got the credit we deserved for qualifying from the group we did for the Euro 2016 finals because there were some tough teams in it, but if we could reach the Euro 2020 finals from this group with Germany and Holland, it would be mission impossible achieved because nobody gave us a chance at the start of it.
"What we have done by winning the first four games is give ourselves a chance, which is what we set out to do.
"Now we have the big teams coming up and hopefully we can get big results.
"The late wins we had in Estonia and Belarus at the end of last season speak volumes and show how far we have come as a team.
"All credit to the boys because after the last Euros, we could have said we've achieved something special and what happens next doesn't matter, but we have shown we are hungry for more.
"We've had that success and we want that feeling again. We are building momentum. The first four games have kept us on course for our target and effectively now we are playing knockout football with the big teams coming to Windsor Park.
"We play Luxembourg in a friendly at home in September and Germany play Holland the next night in a qualifier, so one of those two are going to drop points and they are going to be even further behind us, so the pressure will all be on them when we face them."
While Dallas and co know all about Germany's high-class individuals such as Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos and Leroy Sane, having faced them in recent years, going toe-to-toe with Holland and Liverpool hero, Virgil van Dijk, is something to savour, not fear, according to Dallas.
"It's players like that you want to play against.
"He has proven over the last few years and particularly last season that he is the best defender in the world. It will be nice to come up against him and the rest of the Holland team and Germany," says Dallas.
"We know the matches won't be easy, but we also know that on our day, especially at Windsor Park, we can give anyone a game.
"To play against big nations in big games for your country, it really doesn't get much better than that."

My new header is now up and running!
I give my thanks to my younger brother who helped me make this!
As for my plans, I have been pondering on a INQ28 warband... in a 30K setting!
Before I start diving in to this project, I think I want to write a scenario setting which can be used to create warbands, as I was quite inspired by the Tor Megiddo setting.
Hopefully I can pull something off, but in the meantime I'll be trying to paint or finish build one of my other warbands.

A father in his twilight years divides his assets between his three daughters. She who loves him most will gain the most. Goneril and Regan are more than happy to flatter him so they share the spoils. Cordelia, his youngest and favourite, is too honest for her own good. Furious, he disowns her and sends her away. Betrayed by the elder two who have all he once owned, Lear is left destitute. Still blinded by pride and vanity, it's not until Cordelia returns to save him that he realises his catastrophic mistake and recognises true love. But is it too late?
One of the greatest works in Western literature, King Lear is an epic story of power, loyalty, jealousy and betrayal, and a profoundly moving study of human frailty and the nature of love.
Celebrate the 20th year of Bell Shakespeare as John Bell leads some of Australia's most respected actors and exciting new talent in Marion Potts' richly poetic production.
Please note: This production contains some strobe effects and haze.
Lear, King of Britain, decides to abdicate and divide his kingdom between his three daughters. When his beloved youngest, Cordelia, refuses to make a public declaration of love for her father she is disinherited and married to the King of France without a dowry. The Earl of Kent is banished by Lear for daring to defend her. The two elder daughters, Goneril and Regan, and their husbands inherit the kingdom. Gloucester, deceived by his bastard son Edmund, disinherits his legitimate son, Edgar, who is forced to go on the run to save his life.
Lear, now stripped of his power, quarrels with Goneril and Regan about the conditions of his lodging in their households. In a rage he goes out into the stormy night, accompanied by his Fool and by Kent, now disguised as a servant. They encounter Edgar, disguised as a mad beggar called Poor Tom. Gloucester is betrayed by Edmund and captured by Regan and Cornwall, who put out his eyes. King Lear is taken secretly to Dover, where Cordelia has landed with a French army. The blind Gloucester meets but does not recognize Edgar, who leads him to Dover.
Lear and Cordelia are reconciled, but in the ensuing battle are captured by the Sisters' forces. Goneril and Regan are both in love with Edmund, who encourages them both. Discovering this, Goneril's husband Albany forces Edmund to defend himself against the charge of treachery. A knight appears to challenge Edmund and, after fatally wounding him, reveals himself to be Edgar. News comes that Goneril has poisoned Regan and then committed suicide. Before dying, Edmund reveals that he has ordered the deaths of Lear and Cordelia.

I have had the great privilege of playing King Lear twice in
my career and, as I write this, am limbering up (literally) for a
third attempt.
My first effort was in the Nimrod production of 1984
directed by Aubrey Mellor with a strong cast: Judy Davis
doubled as the Fool and Cordelia, Colin Friels played
Edmund, and Robert Menzies, Edgar. John Ewing was
Gloucester, John Howard, Kent and Michael Gow, Oswald.
Goneril and Regan were played by Gillian Jones and Kris
McQuade. After a try-out schools' season in the unlikely
setting of the Bankstown Sports Club, we played the York
Theatre in the Seymour Centre. The set consisted of a
huge pile of rubble, as of some bombed European city at
the end of the World War II, and the costumes were the
rag-tag remnants of guerrilla fighters. This certainly gave
the second half of the play a suitably blighted landscape
but was not helpful for the beginning when Lear is carving
up his kingdom and doling out "shadowy forests and with
champains riched, With plenteous rivers and wide-skirted
Barrie Kosky's 1998 production for Bell Shakespeare was
more successful in this regard. The curtain rose on a scene
of fairytale splendour with Lear on his throne in front of a
gold curtain, his court garbed in a dazzling array of colourful
furs and jewels.
Kosky's production was a far cry from the determined
realism of Aubrey Mellor's. From start to finish it was
intensely theatrical. Kosky sat on stage throughout
pounding an ancient upright piano. Beside him stood two
ageing trumpeters who were more at home on the club
circuit. All three were dressed in black tie, dinner jackets
and red fez hats. Instead of his accompanying knights,
Lear had four "dogs" on leashes. These were four young
men stripped to the waist, sporting plastic shower caps
and white clown makeup. They wore baggy pants from
which protruded outsized genitalia. Louise Fox's Fool was
a Shirley Temple look-alike who led the tap dancing dogs
in a rendition of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy". These were
some of the least controversial aspects of the production.
The hovel was a big gold box with holes in it. We mad
folk crammed inside it, stuck our arms and legs out of the
holes and jabbered insanely. Probably the most memorable
scene was that set in Dover which reminded me of one
of those ghastly bus terminals with rows of plastic chairs
and flickering neon lights. People wandered about wearing
huge grotesque puppet masks while I chatted away to
Gloucester, dressed in Cordelia's discarded pink fur coat,
while handing out rubber dildos to passers-by… Barrie
never did explain why the rubber dildos.
It was a bit of a wild ride, that Lear. A lot of people walked
out, we got bags of hate-mail and sometimes the audience
would yell things like "Rubbish!" during the curtain-call…
but people still talk about it. I found the production freed me
up a lot, removing the constraints of naturalism, of trying to
reconcile heightened verse with everyday behavior as well
as act both old age and insanity. There was certainly no
need to act the insanity – the production did that for me;
the imagery of the hovel and Dover scenes suggested the
inside of Lear's head.
My next attempt at the role will perforce be very different
– another director, another vision. I look forward to
coming back to the psychology of the role, the interplay of
characters and Shakespeare's dissection of monarchy, of
patriarchy and of family.
I am interested in the relationship between Lear and his
daughters that has made them the way they are. He makes
no secret of the fact that he loves and prefers Cordelia and
wants to give her the biggest slice of his kingdom. Enough
to embitter her siblings, I should think. Even so, they begin
quite reasonably in their treatment of their father until his
demands and his behavior get too much for them. What a
lousy deal: "I'm going to give each of you half my kingdom
to administer but I'll hang on to the title and all the perks of
king and have a happy old retirement. I'll come and stay with
you in turn, month and month about, and I'll be bringing with
me a hundred knights, my hunting buddies, to be housed at
your expense." Bad enough, especially when the hundred
knights turn out to be a drunken rabble and that bloody Fool
never stops insulting you with his wisecracks. Embittered by
their father's capriciousness, and driven increasingly apart
by their fear and ambition, the two sisters find themselves
stuck in a quagmire of resentment no family counselor
could resolve. And what of Cordelia? Is she Lear's favourite
because she is so docile? I suspect rather the reverse –
she's a chip off the old block, as stubborn as he is. Her
refusal to play in the flattering love contest is a show of
willful independence, a public humiliation of her father.
Lear's folly is evident from the very start: the idea of
breaking up a prosperous and successful business just so
that one can enjoy a comfortable retirement is as indolent
as it is short-sighted. Surely Lear should see that all he is
doing is brewing rivalry and conflict. Worse, the game is
rigged. He knows in advance he is going to give "a third
more opulent" to Cordelia. What kind of equal third is that?
He means he is going to give her the choice bit and spend
his whole retirement with her. Worse still, he is not just
selling off the farm – he's giving it away. He intends to marry
off Cordelia to either the Duke of Burgundy or the King of
France, and one of them will inherit the choicest slice of
Britain. No wonder Kent labels it "hideous rashness."
Once I crack that opening scene the rest is pretty plain
sailing. But that first scene is tricky. Some commentators
suggest Lear is mad at the beginning and the rest of the
play is about him coming to his senses. I don't think so.
That first scene isn't about madness – it's about the pitfalls
of power. It's what happens when a man has got used to
having absolute power and is convinced he has a divine
right to it. It's important that Lear is old. He's been in the
job too long. He's bored and wants out of responsibility.
Because he demands and basks in flattery he is out of
touch with the business and with the people around him,
and most of all with his subjects – the homeless, poor and
hungry whom he has never encountered. His grand plan
has been tossed off without a thought of its ramifications
and consequences. He is indeed "King" Lear and the rest
of the play is about learning what it is to lose that title, that
authority, and to realise that he is only a "poor, bare, forked
animal" like other men.
In that opening scene we see Lear at his worst: vain,
shallow, stupid, short-sighted, bullying and childish. Yet
we're told that people love him! Cordelia, Kent, Gloucester
and the Fool are all ready to lay down their lives for him.
I can't recall seeing a Lear who deserved that sort of
devotion. One has to invest some sort of back-story to
say that he has had a long and successful reign and the
kingdom is in great shape. He has earned the love of at
least some of his subjects, those named above. They remain
loyal and loving, despite the fact that he is hardening into a
cranky old tyrant.
After that things get easier. Lear is certainly ugly in his
confrontations with Goneril and Regan, but by now we
start to feel some compassion for him given their rough
treatment of him. Some humanity starts to bleed through the
carapace of his folly. His pain finds relief in the violence of
the storm – he exults in it and starts to come to his senses.
He suddenly realises that the hungry and homeless are
constantly exposed to these forces of nature: "O, I have
taken too little care of this." The sight of Poor Tom tips his
senses into a new kind of consciousness which I would
hesitate to call madness because it is so piercingly clearsighted.
Lear now realizes his common humanity. He sees
through the privileges of wealth and power that stand in the
way of justice. One is awed by Lear's devastating critique of
human institutions and hierarchy. His humility and patience
when he is awakened from his torment cannot fail to attract
a sympathy that turns to admiration when he defies his
captors and accompanies Cordelia to prison.
Not that the play is about "feeling sorry" for King Lear. The
last thing you could accuse the play of is sentimentality…
We should not feel a cheap thrill of satisfaction at the
downfall of Goneril, Regan and Edmund. Rather we are
asked to reflect on the tearing apart of family, of community,
of country due to arrogance, moral blindness, emotional
deadness and the abuse of authority. Lear's "madness" is
liberating. He has always denied the female (flexible and
forgiving) part of himself. He refuses to weep, suppressing
and imploding his natural instincts. This repression turns
into a vehement disgust of all things feminine. He has
renounced his warmth and a unifying principle of human
existence, and he gives away his kingdom not because he
loves his daughters but because he wants to own them. He
mistakes this impulse for paternal affection, but he has to
undergo a painful journey to learn what real love is.

'Innovation' has become a buzzword in Brussels. Defined as "the introduction of new ideas or methods", innovation holds many promises for consumers. But it is a means, not an end, and it is not always beneficial. The BEUC view on innovation in the EU is detailed in a new paper titled 'When innovation means progress'.

Worrying decline of food controls in Europe, new BEUC report reveals
The number of food controls and the resources allocated to them are dwindling across Europe. This is the worrying trend that emerges from the report 'Keeping food in check', published today by BEUC.
25 July 2019
The EU needs rules on chemicals in coffee cups, straws and other paper food packaging, consumer test shows
A new lab test shows that food packaging made of coloured paper and cardboard - such as coffee cups and straws - may contain and release chemicals originating from the inks used for printing. Paper is the second most used food packaging material after plastic. Unlike plastics, however, there are no EU rules governing paper's use as a food contact material.
Our work areas
Consumers expect the food on their plate to be of good quality and safe. But this is not always the case, as recent safety-related scandals have brought to light. Since food safety cannot be taken for granted, BEUC's role is to ensure that consumers can trust in a safe food supply in the EU.
Also, while new technologies have the potential to bring benefits to consumers, they must be closely monitored as they may also present health risks.
For BEUC, consumers should be able to make informed choices – be it by having clear and understandable information on food packaging, or ensuring that health messages on food products are scientifically justified. BEUC also works to ensure vulnerable groups such as children are not targeted with unhealthy foods high in fat, salt and sugar.
Our objectives
- Facilitate informed and healthy choices by consumers, including vulnerable groups
- Prevent misleading information and ensure that information can be trusted
- Protect children from the promotion of unhealthy food
- Ensure food sold to consumers is safe and sustainable

Yahoo News Digest and Aviate Launcherby Rohit Arora March 24, 2015 0 comments
Yahoo Aviate Launcher
Google Play store has countless home replacement launchers that promise to make your smartphone experience simpler and interactive with a new look and interface. However many of these come with so many tweaks that it is a task unto itself to understand them. One launcher that caught our attention with its simple and organized UI is Yahoo Aviate.
The first set up screen of the app lets you select 10 apps that you use most, while the second screen lets you select the type of application you use most. You can choose up to five domains. The launcher offers a clean and simple layout that is divided into five screens and everything is just a swipe away.
The sub section screen has App collections that include categories like entertainment, productivity, social, utilities, photography, etc. You can also create an app collection of your choice. Another swipe to right will take you to the app drawer that displays all the applications on your phone in an alphabetical order.
Aviate follows an algorithm (designed by studying the Android users interaction with their smarphones) to make your phone smarter by offering intelligent information throughout the day. Whether you are travelling, at work, at a restaurant or just relaxing at home, Aviate automatically displays apps and information that are useful to you based on what you're up to.
Swiping left will take you to the smart home screen where you can set your location, add widgets, app collections, set events and get news updates. It also pulls your most popular contacts into a list of Favorites that you can access by just a simple swipe up from the home screen.
Yahoo News Digest
In the potpourri of news applications, users often struggle to find something useful and balanced that offers relevant information without any hassle. This app from Yahoo is informative, quick and offers easy to digest content.
1) Yahoo News Digest delivers a summarized version of the top International news, in an easy-to-navigate design. Mimicking human behavior of reading news twice a day, the News Digest app provides comprehensive yet easy to grasp news stories from various categories like Technology, Sports, Business, Social and World. Plus, it does it once in the morning (8 am) and then in evening (6pm).
2)There is not much to customize in the application, which is a little drawback. The screen shot shows the available options in settings menu. You cannot choose which type of news you want to read or the source of the news like in Flipboard. You can only select the edition and the time of Digest. But this is something which makes this app quite simple to use.
It is not like other news services that offer a never ending thread of information and customizationthat make you a victim of information bombardment.
3)Compiled by Yahoo editors in UK, US and Malaysia, the "Digests" provide a definitive summary of all the top International news so that users can stay on top of what's happening in the world. The news stories integrate text, images, maps, tweets, and references of events. The interface is quite minimal, and by scrolling down you will see the linked items (images, videos, etc.) and a right swipe will take you to the next story.
4)Another interesting feature of the app is the retro phone style circular widget at the bottom, which keeps track of stories you have read from your daily digest and on completion, displays the day's quote from famous personalities. This offers a sense of satisfaction as you can actually see that you are done with the day's news items.

MUMBAI: Kora Management has agreed to invest as much as $125 million in financial services conglomerate Edelweiss Group, the company said.
Of the total investment, US-based Kora has committed $75 million in the group's advisory business, Edelweiss Global Investment Advisors (EGIA), subject to structuring-related milestones and regulatory approvals, Edelweiss said in a statement on Wednesday.
Besides, Kora plans to invest an additional $50 million in Edelweiss, and is in the process of finalizing the timing and structuring of the deal.
Kora Management, a growth investor focused on niche financials and technology businesses across emerging markets, is already an investor in Edelweiss. "We look forward to deepening our long-standing relationship with Edelweiss," said Nitin Saigal, Kora's founder and chief investment officer.
"Over the years, the group has successfully built a diversified financial services franchise in India, with multiple scalable platforms. Today, EGIA is well positioned in asset and wealth management, and distressed debt, two very exciting sub-segments in Indian financial services, with the potential to grow multi-fold in the years to come. We work to be constructive partners to our portfolio companies and welcome the opportunity to partner with Edelweiss," Saigal added.
EGIA includes the asset reconstruction, wealth and asset management and institutional client group businesses, together contributing nearly half of Edelweiss' profits. With over ₹2 trillion in customer assets, the firm is one of the market leaders in each of its advisory businesses.
Kora Management's proposed investment in Edelweiss Group's advisory business marks the third and final external funding process for the group. "Kora Management is directly aligned with the strategic goals of the business, and we are very happy to strengthen our already long association. Our customers will benefit immensely from Kora's acumen in technology and financial services across emerging markets, and their investment will help us scale our businesses in a competitive market environment," said Rashesh Shah, chairman and CEO, Edelweiss Group.
Besides Kora, Mumbai-based Edelweiss is also in talks with other investors to join the first external investment round in EGIA, which will be limited to $200 million.
In 2017, Edelweiss Group decided to separate its credit, advisory and insurance businesses into three distinct entities, each with its own set of investors, a ring-fenced capital base, and an independent board. Its credit and life insurance businesses have already established long term partnerships.
Its life insurance business Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance (ETLI) is a joint-venture partnership with Japanese insurer Tokio Marine, which holds 49% stake in the company through its investment arm Tokio Marine Holdings Inc.
The credit business of the group, ECL Finance Ltd., also got commitments of over ₹1,800 crore ($250 million) from Canadian pension fund Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), an existing investor in the Edelweiss Group. The strategic investment, made via CDPQ Private Equity Asia Pte Ltd, sought to capitalize on opportunities in the credit market.
Besides, Insurer Allianz AG, through its investment management arm Allianz Investment Management, also announced an investment of $200 million in the private debt platform of Edelweiss in February. The deal marked Allianz's first investment in the private debt and distressed assets space in India. The Allianz investment was part of the $1.3 billion worth of commitments that Edelweiss had secured for its EISAF II fund.

Therapeutic bispecific T-cell engager (BiTEs) antibodies targeting cells presenting gliadin peptides
In autoimmune diseases, the body mounts harmful immune responses towards its own tissues. This process is driven by T cells and B cells that have antigen-specific receptors (TCRs and BCRs, respectively) that recognize self-molecules. Thus, therapeutic strategies that enable specific killing of such cells are of great interest to intervene with the autoimmune response.
Background: Celiac disease (CeD) is an inflammatory, autoimmune condition of the small intestine driven by a CD4 T-cell response towards deamidated gluten peptides from wheat, barley and rye [1]. Activation of gluten-reactive CD4 T cells depends on recognition of gluten peptides presented on disease-associated HLA-DQ molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). As such, this step is crucial for the initiation of the autoimmune response. Importantly, presentation is greatly facilitated if the gluten peptides are modified by an enzyme called transglutaminase 2 (TG2).
To characterize cells involved in presentation of gluten peptides, we have developed antibodies specific for the gluten peptide-MHC complex (pMHC) consisting of HLA-DQ2.5 with either of two different immunodominant gluten epitopes ([2] and Frick et al., manuscript in preparation). Using these antibodies, we have shown that plasma cells are the main gluten peptide-presenting cells in the intestinal mucosa of CeD patients [2]. Interestingly, B cells and plasma cells specific for gluten and the self-protein TG2 are present in all CeD patients, but no pathogenic role of these cells had so far been identified.
The only current treatment option for CeD patients is a gluten-free diet. Furthermore, many CeD patients report difficulties to follow a strict gluten-free diet or may proceed to more severe disease stages. Thus, there is a motivation to explore new therapeutic strategies. In the long term, lesson learnt from CeD may also possibly be applied to other autoimmune disease.
Figure 1: The BiTE molecule can bind pMHC on the APC and CD3 on the cytotoxic T cell, thereby bridging the cells allowing specific killing.
In this master project, we will explore the therapeutic potential of antigen-specific removal of cells that are presenting gluten peptides using the specific anti-pMHC antibodies. "Bispecific T-cell engagers" (BiTEs) are proteins that combine two specificities in one molecule (Figure 1);
- targeting of a cell surface molecule on the cell to be killed with one arm, and
- targeting of a cell surface molecule on cytotoxic T cells with the ability to kill with the other arm.
Such BiTE formats are currently in clinical trials for cancer therapy [3]. By using the scFv (variable region genes) of the pMHC-specific antibodies genetically linked to a scFv specific for the CD3 molecule expressed on T cells, it is possibly to force the cells presenting gluten peptides together with cytotoxic cells T cells with ability to kill the other cell. Here we will explore if this strategy can be used to specifically target and kill cells presenting gluten peptides. For these experiments, we have several sources of T cells and APCs available, including patient-derived cells. Finally, this concept will be tested in a mouse model.
Aim: To explore the therapeutic potential of antigen-specific removal of pathogenic cells. Sub goals:
- Construction of expression vectors encoding BiTE proteins
- Expression, purification and characterization of the BiTE proteins
- Functional assays to explore specific killing of cells presenting gliadin peptides
Methods: The student will gain experience in molecular techniques such as plasmid design and cloning to construct the various BiTE formats. The next part will involve methods such as protein expression, affinity purification, gel filtration, ELISA, SDS-PAGE and Western blot to express and validate the BiTE proteins. The last part will include cellular experiments such as flow cytometry, T-cell assays and assessment of the BiTE in mice.
The research environment: The group of Professor Ludvig Sollid is part of the K.G Jebsen Coeliac Disease Research Centre at the Institute of Immunology (Medical faculty, Rikshospitalet), a translational research center that studies all aspects of celiac disease. The research environment in the group and at the institute is ambitious, dynamic and highly collaborative. The Sollid group is a multinational research group (20+) consisting of master students, PhDs, post docs and researchers. Professor Inger Sandlie will co-supervise.
The master candidate: We seek a highly motivated and dedicated candidate. We expect you to read relevant research literature and take active part in our weekly group meetings. These meetings consist of scientific project meetings as well as journal clubs. By this, you will get a broader understanding of immunology and acquire presentation skills. The tasks within the master project are well defined and the project is as such of low risk, still the potential implications are great. We expect you to acquire good laboratory skills, become independent, and also learn to discuss with your fellow group members.

5 Common Mіѕtаkеѕ in thе Mеdісаl School Intеrvіеw
Multiple Mini Interview Mistakes
Mеdісаl ѕсhооl іntеrvіеwѕ соmе in аll different ѕhареѕ and sizes. Especially when looking at medical school interviews around the world. There is a significant heterogeneity in interview format and style when comparing medical schools in Canada and the United States, to those in Australia, Ireland, Caribbean and the United Kingdom. Some ѕсhооlѕ іntеrvіеw оnе-оn-оnе, some hаvе multірlе interviewers, ѕоmе have Multірlе-Mіnі-Іntеrvіеwѕ (MMI). Gеttіng an іntеrvіеw іnvіtаtіоn is a hugе ассоmрlіѕhmеnt in thе medical ѕсhооl admissions process. A gооd реrfоrmаnсе іn the іntеrvіеw can ѕесurе уоur chances оf ассерtаnсе. However, interviews аrе often іntіmіdаtіng аnd nеrvе-rасkіng. Bеlоw аrе ѕоmе соmmоn mіѕtаkеѕ in the medical school interview. Thеу should bе аvоіdеd.
Dоn't Аѕѕumе Thаt The Іntеrvіеwеr Knоwѕ Hоw Ѕеrіоuѕ You Are Аbоut Bесоmіng A Dосtоr:In уоur interview, you must demonstrate that уоu аrе fullу соmmіttеd tо thіѕ fіеld, аnd соnvеу a clear ѕеnѕе of purpose іn уоur professional goals, including your passion for medicine. Never аѕѕumе that аррlуіng and ѕhоwіng up for аn interview is ѕuffісіеnt еvіdеnсе оf уоur соmmіtmеnt. Admіѕѕіоnѕ оffісеrѕ hаvе a job. Fоr mеdісаl ѕсhооl аdmіѕѕіоnѕ оffісеrѕ, that jоb іnсludеѕ vеttіng and ѕеlесtіng thе best possible ѕtudеntѕ fоr thеіr рrоgrаm. Onе оf thе mоѕt іmроrtаnt сrіtеrіа by whісh thеѕе аdmіѕѕіоnѕ officers аrе judgеd іѕ success of future medical students in their program. Success is measured by academic, clinical and professional performance. Your demonstrable passion on interview day may act as a surrogate marker for this and should be emphasized.
Not Knоwіng Your Aррlісаtіоn Wеll Enоugh: Some ѕtudеntѕ арреаr ѕurрrіѕеd whеn аѕkеd аbоut a ѕресіfіс еxреrіеnсе durіng thе interview (еvеn thоugh it wаѕ wrіttеn іn thеіr аррlісаtіоn), еіthеr because it tооk place уеаrѕ рrіоr, оr рrеѕumаblу bесаuѕе іt wаѕ not so mеаnіngful tо them. Thеу wіnd uр nоt bеіng аblе to articulate the experience with enough detail and confidence. This unfortunate situation fractures the trust and investment of the interviewers in your candidacy for medical school. Yоu ѕhоuld feel very comfortable with the соntеnt оf уоur аррlісаtіоn, and bе аblе tо tаlk about all еxреrіеnсеѕ with еаѕе аnd knоwlеdgе. If thіѕ ѕееmѕ obvious, you would bе surprised! Mоrеоvеr, mаkе sure you are соmfоrtаblе explaining whу аn experience mаdе уоu grow, оr hоw іt wаѕ meaningful tо уоu. This added reflection is one of the most important elements of properly detailing an experience on your application.
When Yоu Іnсludе Incorrect Іnfоrmаtіоn Оn Your Application: By ассіdеntаllу listing thе wrong соuntrу оf уоur bіrth or wrоng state for реrmаnеnt rеѕіdеnсе, уоu can cause уоur application tо bе red flаggеd or tо be аutоmаtісаllу rеjесtеd by ѕсhооlѕ thаt only іntеrvіеw оr ассерt rеѕіdеntѕ. And оf соurѕе, іt gоеѕ without ѕауіng that you ѕhоuldn't intentionally present іnсоrrесt іnfоrmаtіоn (і.е., lіе аbоut your nationality, rасе, оr any оthеr dеtаіl thаt you mау thіnk is to уоur аdvаntаgе or dіѕаdvаntаgе). Dоublе сhесk аll of thе contact іnfоrmаtіоn, реrѕоnаl details, аnd fаmіlу іnfоrmаtіоn tо mаkе ѕurе thаt іt іѕ соrrесt. A ѕіmрlе but easy рlасе tо mаkе a mаjоr mistake. While this may not come up on interview day, it will be a significant and highly avoidable problem that unfortunately is far too common amongst medical school applicants.
Not Hаvіng Аnу Questions For Thе Interviewer In The End: Nаturаllу, mеdісаl ѕсhооlѕ want tо ассерt аррlісаntѕ whо want thеm. Whеn applicants have dоnе thеіr research аbоut a ѕсhооl аnd can аѕk ѕресіfіс questions about the іnѕtіtutіоn, іt is impressive. Thаt said, dоn't аѕѕumе that ѕhоwіng you dіd уоur hоmеwоrk wіth fосuѕеd questions іѕ thе оnlу wау tо gо. It іѕ entirely ассерtаblе to gо fоr brоаdеr quеѕtіоnѕ (e.g., whаt they find is thе іnѕtіtutіоn'ѕ bеѕt ѕtrеngth). Avоіd lеаvіng thе interview room wіthоut posing any quеѕtіоnѕ аt all; that invariably соmеѕ асrоѕѕ as lack оf іntеrеѕt іn thе ѕсhооl. In the MMI interview format, stations typically do not provide the forum for question asking. That is perfectly acceptable. Hone these skills for more traditional style interviews.
Overconfidence: Althоugh enthusiasm іѕ іmроrtаnt, оvеrсоnfіdеnсе іn your аbіlіtу tо bе ассерtеd to medical ѕсhооl can undermine уоur interview and create a disconnect with interviewers. Sоmеtіmеѕ a саndіdаtе can be ѕо еnthrаllеd wіth thе school thаt thе іntеrvіеwеr perceives thе іndіvіduаl as bеlіеvіng he or she wіll bе ассерtеd. Whіlе уоu want to be соnfіdеnt, be саrеful of bеіng реrсеіvеd as оvеrсоnfіdеnt – іt саn come across еntіrеlу thе wrоng wау. This саn bе сhаllеngіng tо mаѕtеr. And although оnе interviewer mау реrсеіvе уоu аѕ оvеrсоnfіdеnt, another could feel уоu аrе a gооd fіt rеgаrdlеѕѕ.
Interview dау is a tіmе fоr you tо ѕhіnе; dеmоnѕtrаtе thrоugh уоur body lаnguаgе and wоrdѕ thаt you аrе excited tо interview at thе іnѕtіtutіоn аnd bесоmе a рhуѕісіаn.

Success Stories
Roxana M
McGill Medicine (MD)
"MedApplications helped me with both my essay preparation which brought me to the big interview and with interview preparation. MedApplication's services provided me with not only an insight of how to tailor an application to bring out the best of my ability but it also gave me the confidence I needed to survive the MMIs.
Jess B
Accepted to UWO Medicine (MD/PhD)
"I enrolled with Med Applications one month before my first interview. I had been preparing for interviews by reading books and discussing questions with friends and family, but I was still nervous and didn't really know what to expect. I felt so much more comfortable after my session with MedApplications. My instructor was very knowledgeable and catered the session to what I needed work on (as I had both panel and MMI interviews, this was particularly beneficial). It was very useful to cover topics with someone who knew what to expect from an interview and could comment on the quality of my answers. All together the experience was extremely helpful and very reassuring; it significantly calmed my nerves during my interviews. There weren't any questions I was surprised by in my interviews. I would definitely recommend a session for future students."
O uf T, UBC, McMaster
"I used MedApplications mock interview service because I wanted to practice and receive feedback from a current medical student. I found the mock interview helpful in identifying weaknesses in my answers and improving on them to make them stand out. I would recommend MedApplications to anyone who wants extra preparation to gain confidence for medical school interviews."
U of A
"I went into my first MedApplications session without a clue about what MMI's were or how to prepare for them. After meeting and practising with Eric and Kent, however, I learned all of the tips and skills I needed to ace the interview. They were incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging and their help gave me that extra boost of confidence on interview day. Thanks MedApplications!"
Hana W
University of Ottawa Medicine
"I was accepted at Ottawa which was my ideal school and my only interview. Josh was absolutely wonderful and definitely part of my success! He was very helpful throughout the entire process 🙂
Mother of a High School student for a Pre-Med program
"Hi MedApplications, just to let you know that Isabelle got an offer from University of London St. George's College. The competition this year was quite challenging. We would like to thank you and Sarah for your contribution to this achievement. Your services are excellent. Please count us among satisfied clients."
Matthew L.
McMaster University Medicine
"I used the MedApplications seminar and mock interview services before I had my interviews at Queen's and McMaster medical schools, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Their seminars were incredibly helpful in providing information about the interview process and ways to truly emphasize your best qualities in an interview. Their mock interview session was great as well as it gave me an opportunity to practice my interviewing style with a current medical student! If you are looking for a way to prepare for an interview as important as the ones for medical school, I would definitely recommend MedApplications."
