Impressions on the Arduino Yun
As I mentioned before I haven't worked with the Arduino family much since I tend to be working on different processors than 8-bit ATMega chips. Recently I have been playing around with an Arduino Yun for a client and had a chance to explore the features of this microcontroller + Linux SOC board.
First I want to say that I think pairing a microcontroller with a Linux SOC is a great idea. The micro allows for very fast and accurate data sampling and GPIO control while the Linux SOC deals with all the networking and file system stuff using the Linux OS. So far I think the Yun is pretty good but there are a few things that are really frustrating.
First, the Arduino IDE and toolchain. I don't like the fact everything is hidden and you MUST use the Arduino IDE (yes, even for command line compilation). You can't use Makefiles and the gcc stuff is all tucked away so you can't see it, and thus can't modify it easily. Also each 'sketch' must be an *.ino file which is a pain in the rear if you are using a C editor like Eclipse. This isn't so much a Yun issue as a limitation with the Arduino way of doing things. Personally I find a raw gcc binary and a USB programmer to be much better, but that's what I learned on.
The other thing I dislike is the way the networked "Console" is implemented in the Yun. The Console is a way of sending text out to a PC, similar to the USB serial port on other Arduinos. The issue with the Yun, is to get the text you have to SSH into the device and then do a telnet to a locahost port. Honestly I can't really think of a better way to get debug information out wirelessly, but it's really clunky. I am going to be looking into using the USB serial port rather than the Console because it's much simpler.
My final issue is that it takes >60seconds to get the Linux part of the Yun up and running. Why!? I have a RaspberryPi that boots in <10seconds, how can a 16M Linux install with only about 30 entries in the 'ps' output possibly take 60 seconds to boot? I'd also like to know what happens to the Linux system when you pull the power, hopefully I don't run into some kind of config file truncation due to power loss in the middle of a flash write (Yes, I have dealt with that before).
I'm not a total hater. I do like the fact that you can write a file on the Linux part of the Yun without writing an entire file system for the ATMega. The project I am working on reads lots of values and logs them to files which are then post processed. Having gigs of space on a SD card is great for logging lots of data over time. Also, since the Yun uses SSH, you can SCP and SFTP files off the Arduino wirelessly which is a really nice way to collect all that data.
It's also worth noting that you can update the firmware via WiFi right from the Arduino IDE. This is a really nice feature for once a system is deployed since it might be in a really difficult to access location. The issue with the WiFi update is that is seems really slow, on my limited tests it takes over 60 seconds to program which can really slow down my code-test-update cycle. I would recommend programming via USB for development and WiFi if you need it for production.
The summary is that while the interface and access is a little clunky, the Yun is pretty good little platform if you need a networked microcontroller to collect lots of information.
Microcontroller parameter parsing with AWK
I needed to get all the information on every 16bit Microchip PIC microcontroller into one header file for use in a library. Microchip supplies a pic.h header for processors but it doesn't have the information I needed including end address of the flash and EEPROM. If you poke around on the Microchip parametric search site, you can select all 16-bit microcontrollers and download a CSV with all the parameters. A little bit of AWK magic and you can get a nice header with whatever data you want.
awk -f process.awk all-microcontrollers.csv > pic.h
AWK script and example output header

I've never tried a reading challenge before. I see other bloggers doing them all the time and just think "holy crap when do they have time for this?".
Obviously I'm a blogger who does it more for herself than anyone else (okie that's only 95% true) but darnit all if I don't wish I felt like my blog was important and enjoyable to someone aside from myself. Which is why I still put my offline life ahead of blogging ALWAYS. In ten years I'd much rather have a happy marriage and well mannered kids than a million blog followers... no offense guys! lol
On the same hand RhiReading is something I do for me (like curl up in a bathtub filled with Kama Sutra's Treasures of the Sea bath salts—my personal favorite). Without having something for myself I would go insane. Some days I just NEED to sit down and scope what's going on in the book world or simply dive into a fantasy world where big chaos is happening but you know everything will turn out okay. Lately it seems like I'm getting hit with RL woes from every angle. Any of you other moms out there find that as soon as you started having kids it became impossible to have friendships that lasted? Right now I need a vent-to-my-bff day and realized I don't have one anymore. It's really depressing. I need to vent to my BFF that I don't have a BFF! Talk about a conundrum. :P
Since I don't have a super close friend to confide in and bounce things off of I need to do something for myself. I'm exceptionally stressed out and as the alpha dog in my household I really do need to continue keeping the facade of strength going. Don't get me wrong, I usually work really well under pressure. Lately it's just coming from too many directions at once, I kind of feel like I'm a blindfolded juggler... juggling baby skunks... on a unicycle. *head/desk*
With the blogiversary coming up I thought it was time to try partaking in a reading challenge. I've had a couple of ideas for hosting one in the past but don't have enough followers to feel like it'd be worth putting time into. I dunno... you readers tell me. Do any of you do reading challenges?
I must say that I am a very goal oriented person. Sometimes a goal might be a bit vague but when there is a challenge factor involved I find I'm more inclined to do something. Which could be why I've started making a list of all the things I want to add to or accomplish with RhiReading. Not that I am in a rush of course. Just slow and steady is how I prefer to work with this.
Anyway, back to the reading challenge. (Sorry I got a bit off track there... I need more coffee... or maybe less? haha!). I was checking my blog roll and found a post from Jan @ Eating YA Books about Bart's Bookshelf having a YA Dystopian Book reading challenge. Dude! I luuuurv dystopian fiction. The Unit anyone? Sooo good. I dunno... there's just something about people rising up in the midst of misery. Or beating a system of slavery/oppression/manipulation. Yes, there are some personal RL reasons I love this that I could go into for paragraph after paragraph but I don't want to bore you anymore than I already am.
Cool thing is that the challenge is the perfect starter size for me. After all I plan on being buried in Meljean Brook books in October and am still trying to decide who to make my November author to read. But I can get in 2-4 books in the dystopian YA genre in the challenge period of time. I actually have two sitting around I've been excited to read but keep putting off. The Forest of Hands and Teeth and The Hunger Games. I'm still kicking myself for not being fast enough to grab The Hunger Games when Amazon Vine offered it to us Viners two years ago. I knew it was gonna be something good but daaaayum, it's a phenomenon. Something tells me it might end up a favorite. ;)
Well, I suppose I ought to go sit down with a cup of tea and Burning Up. I finally got to The Iron Duke related story and *cheers* it is really good. Weirdly the entire anthology has been like a pyramid for me. The first story was a 2 star, the second a 3 and so on. I have to say I grow into more and more of a Virginia Kantra fan everytime I read her writing. Alright, I said I was going so I bid you all a good day. :) -- Rhi

Memorial Day History
I posted this last year but would like to share it with you once again in honor of those who continue to serve to keep our country free. Today is a day to give our men that served in the Armed Services and gave their lives for the safety of our nation some remembrance. Going back to the beginning of the yearly, what we now see as a holiday, began as Decoration Day. Beginning back on 1864, a Mississippi ladies group began decorating graves of the Civil War fallen. On April 25,1866 a ladies group from Columbus,MS decorated the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers to help begin the healing process of the past war. It wasn't until 1868 that a specific remembrance was declared. (www.suvcw.org/gar.htm)Commander in Chief John A. Logan credited his wife,Mary, with implementing the commemoration. In 1882 the name Memorial Day took the place of the original Decoration Day. May 30th was the day set aside initially . Then in 1971, President Nixon declared that it will be celebrated at the federal level on the last Monday of May, thus our present day off work for some. As time goes on it seems that our interpretation of national holidays in commemoration of lives given by our Fathers, Brothers, Uncles, Cousins and friends are not being observed for its original intent. Maybe unless it touches us directly we don't fathom what it means. Just a few tidbits of information on how our country instituted the Memorial Day holiday. A holiday that still remains as a day set aside for bringing back the memories of lives lost in the protection of the idea of Freedom...

Following phenomenal growth on the Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) routes, resulting in passenger numbers doubling in just 12 years on parts of the network, Tom Brake MP is supporting the 'Check Before you Travel' campaign launched by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR). This is raising awareness of the new timetable coming into action in May 2018.
As part of the campaign, GTR are asking passengers to check before they travel from 20 May. These timetables are completely new and therefore it is likely that the majority of passengers who use these services to get to work, school, or anywhere else may be affected as their usual journey time or pattern is likely to change. It is part of the biggest train timetable change in decades and is necessary to help increase capacity and improve reliability on the busiest part of the UK rail network.
Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake said:
"The new timetable is exciting news for all users of train services here in Carshalton and Wallington. This will hopefully provide a more reliable service, more capacity and improve the experience for commuters in particular.
"I welcome the campaign for passengers to 'check before you travel' as it will take time for passengers to adapt to the new timetable. There will be increased trains on both Southern and Thameslink routes which will improve the connectivity of our area and make it easier to travel into Central London.
"These changes are desperately needed and will not come soon enough for residents who have had to put up with overcrowded, unreliable and shambolic services for far too long."
The new timetable will come in to operation on all routes from 20 May and is the culmination of several years of planning and public consultation. There will be changes across the whole GTR network.
The changes are a key element of RailPlan 20/20, GTR's programme to modernise rail services in the south east, taking advantage of the new infrastructure and trains provided by the Thameslink Programme.
You can check the new timetable at www.railplan2020.com/timetables.

New, ever more affordable bar menu
Ever sensitive to the problems of others, Maureen Craig and Chris Dinello, owner and chef of Alligator Soul are now providing a new, even more economy-friendly menu, served in the bar and lounge every evening. With dishes like Beef Roulade, Shrimp and Grits, and Seared Tuna, among a dozen delectable dishes, patrons enjoy the same fine cuisine as that served in the main dining room, but at far lower prices, ranging from $9 to $12. This is truly a sensational deal at one of Savannah's finest restaurants! We say, don't miss this!
Papillote…French Goodness!
We tried it and we loved it! The first genuine French meal we've ever had in Savannah! It's all take-out, but it's as truly French as one could imagine. For this first foray into this little spot, we got their Tartine, an open-faced sandwich on brioche style bread, this one with roquefort, pears and walnuts, served open faced served with an array of spring greens with a ginger vinaigrette. This sandwich, tart and sweet, crisp and creamy, simply could not be improved upon! We also had a Bouchee a la Reine filled with hearty chunks of chicken, mushrooms, and carmelized onions, in a beautifully creamy sauce, all encased in a puff pastry wrap. Topping the whole meal off was a Gateau Breton, a crumbly, buttery cake from the chef's own region, Brittany. Plus we sampled the Gilded Brownie, a fudge chocolate concoction topped with an edible 23K gold leaf. Can't beat that. Hours have already been extended to go from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm. Wine is coming soon. Call 232-1881 if you wish to order in advance.

Viva La France! Papillote is Open
It's been months now since we first heard that a French take-out restaurant, Papillote, was going to open n West Broughton St. And we've been cruising by the address at 218 W. Broughton off and on ever since. Finally, they are open! I haven't been there yet, but spoke briefly with Chef and co-owner, Herve Didailler, who comes from Brittany, in the northeast area of France, an area especially noted for its fine shell fish and superb pastries! For those of us longing for traditional French food, this sounds like THE place! The menu changes every day, he said, according to what's in season and "what I feel like cooking," but it is all traditional French cuisine. The day of our conversation he had, among other things, a Bouchee with chicken, mushrooms and caramelized onions, a quiche with salmon and asparagus, a couple of tartines, and a mouth-watering array of tarts and other pastries. We'll be there to check it out one day this week, and will report back!

Reviewing how the city best manages, treats and discharges wastewater is an extensive process. Ensuring we considered all the practicable options before narrowing the list gave us a wide range of options to assess, and we are now looking at six options in more detail, before the best practicable option is selected late next year.
What has happened already this year?
Earlier this year, a longlist of 26 options for how we manage, treat, and discharge wastewater was developed by technical experts with input from stakeholders. These options were grouped into seven categories, based on the type of environment treated wastewater would be discharged into – land application, discharge to river, combined land and river discharge, discharge to groundwater, ocean discharge, discharge to a water supply network, and discharge to air.
A robust assessment and testing process considered a number of environmental, cultural, economic and social factors, and options from each group have been selected to make up a shortlist of six options.
The shortlist
Council wanted to retain a broad range of options to develop further. The six shortlisted options involve discharging treated wastewater to a range of environments – the Manawatū River, land, groundwater, and the ocean.
Five options involve applying most of the treated wastewater to land, with the remainder being discharged to either the Manawatū River, groundwater or the ocean. These options will involve shifting where part or all of the city's treated wastewater is discharged.
One option will discharge all treated wastewater to the Manawatū River, with the wastewater being treated to a higher standard than it is currently. To recognise Māori cultural values, all discharge to the Manawatū River will first pass through a wetland or land passage system. This reinforces the importance of the earth in cleansing the treated wastewater before it enters the river.
The options are (in no particular order):
- Discharging all treated wastewater to the Manawatū River at the current Tōtara Road Wastewater Treatment Plant discharge point. The wastewater would be treated to a higher standard than that achieved through the current wastewater treatment plant.
- Discharging treated wastewater to the Manawatū River at the current Tōtara Road location when the river is in high flow, and at a new discharge point south of Opiki Bridge when river flows are lower. Some wastewater would be applied to land when flows in the Manawatū River are at their lowest.
- Applying treated wastewater to land, with discharges to the Manawatū River when the river flow rises above intermediate levels.
- Applying treated wastewater to land, with discharges to the Manawatū River in exceptional circumstances.
- Applying some dry weather wastewater to land, with the remainder being discharged to groundwater via high rate infiltration (soakage) through the ground surface. Further assessment will consider whether some wastewater should be discharged to the Manawatū River when groundwater levels are very high.
- Discharging most treated wastewater to the ocean, and applying some to land. This would require a pipeline and other infrastructure to move the treated wastewater to a coastal discharge point.
What happens now?
During the next 12 months, Council will investigate the shortlisted options in more detail, to understand the type of treatment required for each. A consultation process will occur in early 2020, and Council will confirm the best practicable option in late 2020.

Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
Amblyopia is the medical term for when a person's vision quality in an eye is reduced because the brain and eye aren't working together. The eye may look normal, but it isn't being used properly because the brain is prioritizing the other eye. This condition is also referred to as lazy eye.
The most common cause of visual impairment among children is amblyopia. Two to three out of every 100 children are affected by lazy eye. And lazy eye persists into adulthood, unless it's successfully treated. Amblyopia is also the most common cause of one eye (monocular) conditions among young and middle-aged adults.
If you are having any abnormal visual symptoms, you should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.
Causes of Lazy Eye
Lazy eye can be caused by any condition that prevents your eye from focusing properly. It can also be caused by your eyes being misaligned, a condition known as strabismus. In strabismus, the eyes cross inward (esotropia) or they can turn outward (exotropia). Occasionally, a cataract growth or clouding of your cornea and lens can cause amblyopia.
The most common cause of lazy eye is when one eye doesn't focus as well as the other. Lazy eye or amblyopia can exist when one eye is more farsighted or nearsighted than the other, or when one eye has a greater astigmatism (an abnormal lens shape) than the other. This is called refractive amblyopia. Each of these terms (nearsighted, farsighted and astigmatism) refer to the ability of your eye to focus light on the retina in the back of the eye.
Farsightedness (hyperopia) is when the distance from the back of the eye to the front is shorter than normal. Farsighted eyes tend to focus better at a distance, but don't focus clearly on objects that are nearby. Nearsightedness (myopia) is a condition where the distance from the front of the eye to the back is too far. Nearsighted eyes tend to focus more accurately on objects nearby than further distances. Eyes with astigmatism don't easily focus on objects near or far because of their abnormal shape.
Symptoms of Lazy Eye
The most common symptom of lazy eye is an eye that wanders outward or inward. Other common symptoms include:
- Eyes that don't work well together
- Squinting
- Shutting one eye
- Tilting your head to better see
- Poor depth perception
- Abnormal vision screening tests
Sometimes, lazy eye isn't apparent until your eye care professional conducts an eye exam. There are also risk factors associated with the condition of lazy eye that, if they apply to you or your child, should prompt you to seek a regular eye exam. These include:
- Premature birth
- Family history of lazy eye
- Developmental disabilities
- Small size at birth
If lazy eye goes untreated, it can result in permanent vision loss in the affected eye. According to the Mayo Clinic, 2.9 percent of adults with lazy eye experience permanent loss of vision. If you are having any visual abnormalities you should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.
Diagnosis for Lazy Eye
It's not easy for parents to detect lazy eye in their children. Children might not be aware that they have one eye stronger or weaker than the other. Unless the eye is misaligned or an abnormality is obvious, there's no way to tell something is wrong without visiting your ophthalmologist.
Amblyopia is detected by determining a difference in vision between your eyes — or poor vision in one or both eyes. Measuring vision in young children is difficult, but pediatric ophthalmologists are experienced at it. Other New York ophthalmologists often watch how children and babies react when one eye follows an object while the other is closed. Another test involves covering one eye and then the other with a patch. If the strong eye is covered and amblyopia is present, the baby may attempt to look around the patch, start crying or attempt to pull the patch off.
If children have poor vision in one eye, it doesn't always mean they have amblyopia. Their vision may be improved with eyeglasses. Your ophthalmologist also examines your child for other eye diseases and conditions including cataracts, tumors, inner eye problems and inflammation.
Lazy Eye Treatment
Treating lazy eye often involves asking the child to use the eye that has weaker vision. The two common ways to treat lazy eye include patching and atropine.
- Patching: For patching to work, an adhesive patch is placed over the stronger eye for a duration lasting a few weeks to a couple months. This forces the child to use the eye with poorer vision (the eye with amblyopia). Patching therapy stimulates vision in the afflicted eye, and it helps the brain properly develop vision.
A National Eye Institute (NEI) study reports that patching the strong eye of a child for two hours a day works as well as patching it for six hours a day. Children who are patched for a shorter duration comply with the treatment better, and they have an improved quality of life. It was also found that when children don't show improvement, increasing the patching time to six hours a day results in improvement of the condition for those children.
Previously, the conventional thinking was that amblyopia treatment would have little effect on older children. However, in another NEI study, children aged seven to 17 benefited from the patching treatment. This study proved that age alone should not be the determining factor in using patching therapy.
- Atropine: Instead of a patch, a drop of a prescription medicine called atropine is placed in the stronger eye to blur it, so the child is forced to use the weaker eye. The research from this study showed that atropine drops work as well as patching and may be easier for parents and the child to use.
As for amblyopia treatment in adults, studies are very limited. Scientists are unable to determine the success rate and effectiveness for treating lazy eye in adults. One of the reasons for this is that a large part of the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment in children has to do with the treatment of the brain. The visual system grows at a rapid pace during the first seven to 10 years of life. Important connections with the eye and brain are forged during this development. As of 2016, studies are still being conducted that are exploring treatments for adults with amblyopia.
If you are having any abnormal visual symptoms, you should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.
Important Reminder: This information is only intended to provide guidance, not a definitive medical advice. Please consult eye doctor about your specific condition. Only a trained, experienced board certified eye doctor can determine an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

All have inherit the drama from the past that will always stick if it are IRC servers, Anon accounts or anons. If we wanna push for greater unity of Anonymous we need to reach out to others who are doing organizing in our own divisions and talk to them about working together. Not fight among ourselves we need to build trust, solidarity by putting faith in each other.
I think Anonymous are fucking crucial steps towards building a multi-faceted resistance movement that can adapt to and take advantage of the changing realities of the cyber era. I don't agree with, or condone every action claimed by Anonymous, but that's to be expected from a loosely structured, decentralized and, anonymous group like that. I hope that anarchists and other freedom-loving peeps with the necessary hacking skills keep pushing back at the sexist 4Chan Gamer-gate types who seem to make up the more reactionary elements within the group. We're at a point in history where, more than ever, information is power… and so the fact that there's an anarchist, or at least anarchist-sympathetic hacker group is so fucking crucial.@stimulator
We've survived internal strife, informants, govt surveillance, entrapment. We are the survivors. We do this because we believe in #Anonymous. To all of my haters and everybody else that I have had a wonderful time with. I want to say thank you for allowing me the opportunity to have met you all. To the idiots that do not understand my lulzboat flys the troll flag proudly.

In November 2015, the president and CEO of LifeWay Christian Resources, Thom Rainer posted a blog by Chuck Lawless. In the piece, Lawless, a twenty-year professor of evangelism, shared the nine reasons he's discovered for why Christians do not evangelize. Below is the first of the nine:
Many don't know what "evangelism" is. When doing church consulting, I ask believers to rate the evangelism in their church. It's not uncommon for me to hear answers like, "We send a lot of people on mission trips" or "we minister to the homeless downtown." Both of these ministries are significant (and would likely contribute to evangelism), but they're not evangelism unless the gospel message is proclaimed.
To evangelize is to share the message of the gospel. Our acts of service and mercy glorify God and are encouraged by Scripture (see James 1:27). Yet simply serving another is not evangelism. Evangelism requires words. It necessitates a message. And in truth, many of us do not always know what to say. What is the gospel? How does the Bible define it? Let's look now at the below four-point-summary; I hope the following proves helpful as we seek to faithfully share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others![1]
God. The gospel message begins with God. In the beginning, He made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). The first sentence of Scripture is essential to the gospel story because it tells us that the world is not the result of chance but the direct and creative work of God. God is the maker of all things. He is holy and in control. He is worthy of our full obedience and worship. He is the Judge of all the Earth who punishes sin (1 John 1:5, Revelation 4:11, Genesis 18:25, Romans 2:5-8).
Man. The crown of God's creation was Adam and Eve. He fashioned the man and woman and placed His own image on them. They were to represent God to all of creation, reflecting His holiness and righteousness. But Adam and Eve sinned (Genesis 3:6). They ate the forbidden fruit and rebelled against God in disobedience. The result of their sin was the fall of humankind (Romans 5:12; Romans 8:20-21). Though created good, all people have become sinful by nature (Genesis 1:26-28, Psalm 51:5, Romans 3:23). From birth, we are alienated from God, hostile enemies who are subject to the wrath of God (Colossians 1:21, Ephesians 2:1-3).
Christ. Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man, is the substitute in judgement and in righteousness for those who believe. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross to bear God's wrath in the place of the repentant, and rose from the grave in order to give his people eternal life (John 1:1, 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews. 7:26, Romans 3:21-26, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 15:20-22). "He died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, was buried, and was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). He has ascended to the right hand of the Father and will return again to judge the earth and make all things new, dwelling forever with His redeemed (Mark 16:19; Revelation 21:1-4). This is Good News!
Response. Those who believe this good news and repent (turning away from sin and clinging in faith to Christ) go from enemies of God to His adopted sons and daughters (Galatians 3:26). They are given a new nature that enables them to submit to God in obedience (Romans 8:1-17). God calls everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and trust in Christ in order to be saved (Mark 1:15, Acts 20:21, Rom. 10:9-10).
This is the gospel of Jesus Christ--the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16)! And you and I are called to share it courageously...yet respectfully. 1 Peter 3:15 states: "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect." Christians are to be sincere and loving in their proclamation of the gospel. If the message offends, may it be the stunning truth itself that irks and not our delivery of it. It is written of George Whitefield, the 18th century "princes of preachers," that "he cried for men's souls because he truly loved them."[2] Let this be said of us too!

Last words from Farzad Mostashari meant to drive patient engagement
Farzad Mostashari, M.D.'s parting message to fellow 'misfits' at National Health IT week was one that encouraged engaging patients through technology.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- To a room full of freaks and geeks, outgoing National Coordinator for Health IT Farzad Mostashari's, M.D., final message to the movers and shakers of health IT was serious, yet affectionate: You're all a bunch of misfits.
That's good, he went on to say, because currently patients are usually afterthoughts in the U.S. healthcare system, especially when it comes to leveraging their own health data to actively participate in their care. They too are misfits in this giant machine -- even though they should be the first priority.
The programmers, developers, vendors, policy wonks and patient advocates in attendance at the 2013 Consumer Health IT Summit can empathize with patients, Mostashari concluded, and therefore are in a prime position to create technologies to drive patient engagement.
Ever sympathetic to his audience, he cast himself as a misfit, too: "I certainly know what that feels like, growing up feeling American in Iran, Iranian in America, feeling like a geek among the jocks, a bicyclist in a world of cars, a public health advocate in the world of healthcare," Mostashari said to the crowd assembled in the great hall at HHS' Hubert H. Humphrey building, which for many attendees would likely be the last time they'd hear him speak publicly before he leaves his post Oct. 5. "I don't need to tell you I'm a misfit; I'm wearing a bowtie."
Farzad Mostashari, M.D.national coordinator for health IT
It was an apt bumper-stickering of his life and times at the ONC, beginning four years ago as then-coordinator David Blumenthal's, M.D., understudy and then taking over after Blumenthal stepped down in 2011. While Mostashari stuck out in a crowd of otherwise business-as-usual bureaucrats, his frenetic approach energized not only his staff, but the ecosystem of U.S. health IT software developers and (albeit sometimes reluctantly) the healthcare providers who reaped the meaningful use incentives his office administered.
Mostashari put the pedal to the metal. He made everything sound urgent, whether it was negotiating a minor adjustment to some obscure data standard or announcing a sweeping policy initiative published in the Federal Register. He could make the deep, in-the-weeds technical geekery of health information exchange sound like a life-and-death matter. He could see the potential in every health IT advancement -- however incremental -- to save lives and help patients live more healthily and happily. As well he should have; that was his job.
The question is: What will all Mostashari's efforts add up to? What will be his long-term contribution to the country's health IT infrastructure? It will probably take a decade to know for sure, but patient engagement -- motivating them to take charge of their health through taking charge of their health data -- will certainly be his touchstone policy idea.
But can patients take over the healthcare system, no longer cast as misfits and afterthoughts swimming in a wake of diagnoses codes, billing transactions, spreadsheet cells, quality reporting measures, stock dividends and profit sharing? And, once empowered, will we actually take charge of our health? Whether or not he inspired us all to do that will be the yardstick by which we measure his effectiveness.
The ONC has another barrier to overcome in U.S. healthcare, already acknowledged by Mostashari's lieutenant and veteran Chief Information Officer David Muntz, principal deputy national health IT coordinator: the evolving, or perhaps declining, nature of the CIO position among hospital executives.
Mostashari's successor will have to help hospital IT departments operationalize the last two stages of meaningful use, as the provider CIOs we interviewed leading up to National Health IT Week pointed out. He sold the public health benefits on the incentive program so well, 90% of hospitals and 78% of eligible physicians signed up so far.
How can the healthcare CIO prove the rest of meaningful use will pay off and get the CEO's attention to fund the rest of it? What's it going to take to get the other executives to see that this amorphous, hard-to-explain technology initiative is just as important as the very visible, concrete investments of cutting-edge diagnostic imaging machines, breaking ground for new hospital wings and giant billboard ads? After all, the CIOs are misfits too, at least in the C-suite.
"IT leaders who wish to receive the respect they believe they're entitled to should see their roles as not just managers of the switches, but actually as enablers of healthcare transformation -- and [should] reflect that in their prioritization and strategies," Mostashari told SearchHealthIT "The biggest concern I have with 'misfits' is not the nerds and geeks, of which I am one. It's the patients who are mis-fit into a healthcare system that doesn't see a good fit between patient preferences and what [providers] want to do to make money. … If we can align, re-engineer, redesign the healthcare system around the patient and the patient's health, the pieces will fit together."

Here are the 7 habits of chronically unhappy people:
Your default belief is that life is hard.
You believe most people can't be trusted.
You concentrate on what's wrong in this world versus what's right.
You compare yourself to others and harbor jealousy.
You strive to control your life.
You consider your future with worry and fear.
You fill your conversations with gossip and complaints.
It's a way to find true JOY.
Studying the context and the depth of meaning of these three actions in Psalm 1: 1,2 can be a great boost
to shift your attitude and bring happiness. They are NOT to walk, stand, and sit!
Ps 1:1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
Stand= abide, or to take one's stand.
Sit=remain or dwell.
Do you notice the progression? Basically, the Psalmist is conveying the message that happiness (happy is the man) doesn't come to those who approach, become aquatinted with, and then reside with those who have a negative influence. They are wicked=evil, sinners=offenders/sinful, scoffers=mockers (form of speech that is unhealthy and destroys.)
But…happy is the man who delights in the law of the Lord. The law here means Torah or direction/instruction. In His law he meditates (utters, speaks, growls, to moan, ponder, muse) day and night. My thought is that one who truly ponders to the point of deep emotion and then acts on God's direction and instruction is one who finds pleasure or delight. It boils down to having a right relationship – vertically – with the Father. Then, horizontally, others are affected. Smiles are contagious and people are drawn to happy people! Your outward countenance will be radiant.
Look at Jonah 4:6
So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant.
Psalms 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.
Proverbs 17: 22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Now, back to why I chose this music video to share with you. When I first saw the video, I couldn't help but think of David dancing before the Lord. He was so happy that the result was dancing. His heart was light. Nothing was held back as he danced with all of his might! That my friend is a happy heart!
2 Samuel 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might;
When I choose to keep my relationship with Jesus close, and put others before myself, it is then that others take notice of the joy that is on my face and in my heart! Did you notice verse 18 of Romans 14?
For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
Serving Christ through righteousness, peace and joy is acceptable to God and causes others to watch and your actions bring approval. They become in agreement.
After this week of many graduations, Mother's Day, and special times with family and friends, let me remind you that true happiness can only be found in Christ. There will be many more occasions that your happiness will be hijacked. It is important to remember the words of James, "Count it all joy..." and don't forget to dance in the midst of it!
Romans 15:13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.
When I went to church this past Sunday, I was surprised that the preacher spoke about happiness! I think it was conformation for me in writing this blog, but he had some interesting points and shared something that I had never picked up on!
Romans 14:17 "for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.18 For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.[1]
"God's kingdom is characterized by these 3 words: righteousness, peace, and joy.
Through faith in Christ, we receive these blessings as "kingdom citizens." Through the power of the Spirit, we can experience these blessings in our daily lives.
- In relationship to God: Don't give in to sin but live in righteousness. J
- In relationship to one another: Put off selfishness and pursue peace. O
- In life in this world: Stop complaining and start rejoicing!" Y
With a happier heart!

The 11th Frame: Resilient Ron Mohr shakes off PBA60 title match loss to take first-round lead in PBA50 Pasco County Florida Open

How do great players who win a lot suddenly seemingly lose the ability to win? Marshall Holman in the 1980s had arguably the most famous (infamous?) extended losing streak on TV not long after becoming the youngest player to win 10 PBA Tour titles. Marshall was my favorite player as a child, later became one of my favorite players to cover as a reporter, and even later a friend and fellow competitor when I tried the PBA Tour in 1987 and 1988. His non-winning streak started with a combination...

A 9-foot-tall statue of the Incredible Hulk has been unveiled at the Northlake Public Library in Chicago.
More than 300 people turned out to witness the big reveal, which is said to be the largest crowd the library has ever hosted.
A group of trustees led by Tom Mukite launched an Indiegogo campaign in April to revamp the library, funding the purchase of new books, technology and a statue of the Marvel Comics character to demonstrate its dedication to popular culture.
Although the funding drive fell short of its $30,000 goal, bringing in just over $4,000, California businessman Steve Williams donated a statue of the Hulk that he has owned since the release of 2008′s The Incredible Hulk.
The statue had served as his company mascot but violated city codes and the terms and conditions dictated by a landlord, according to the Franklin Park Herald-Journal.
Despite failing to secure the funds to bring in new books and equipment, the new Hulk statue has garnered media attention and sparked a surge in library card renewals.

New custodians for the Breite Reserve
In 29 May 2007, in order to protect this valuable area and to ensure its survival, the Mihai Eminescu Trust and the Local Council of Sighişoara undertook the custody of the reserve. The custodians and their partners committed to protect the veteran oaks on the Breite, to ensure the regeneration of the oak collection by planting oak saplings, to promote the reserve in the country and abroad and to elaborate a management plan for the reserve based on scientific research and public consultations within maximum one year.
Since 2007 the Breite Reserve has been part of the Natura 2000 Network, being included in the sites SCI Sighişoara - Târnava Mare and SPA Podişul Hârtibaciului. In 2010, the custody of the reserve was transferred to the administrator of these sites, the Association Progresul Silvic from Sibiu.

New Delhi, [India], Oct 12 (ANI): Aamir Khan is someone who is known to deliver his hundred percent when it comes to portraying a character on the silver screen. Be it a small cameo or a full-fledged role, the actor puts in his all efforts to make it look more convincing and that is the reason he is known as Mr. Perfectionist.
The actor, who has played an array of characters in his long movie career, will treat his audience with a completely new avatar in his forthcoming film 'Secret Superstar,' where he will be seen in the quirky avatar as a music composer Shakti Kumarr.
While talking exclusively to ANI, the 'Dangal' actor shared, "Shakti Kumarr's character is very different from how I am personally."
Talking about the challenges, Aamir stated, "The challenge for me was to not just to behave like him but to feel like him. But it was also very enjoyable as by playing Shakti Kumarr, I could do all the things that otherwise I don't do or I am not allowed to do and so I want to thank Advait for this role."
'Secret Superstar' is a film essentially based on music with the lead protagonist Insia played by Zaira Wasim being an aspiring singer. The young girl faces resistance from her father after which she opts to follow her dreams by posting videos on social media anonymously.
The trailer of the film has received a great response raising the anticipation for the film. The songs 'Main Kaun Hoon', 'Meri Pyaari Ammi', 'Sapne Re' and 'I Miss You' provide further insights into the film.
Produced by Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Zee Studios, and Akash Chawla, 'Secret Superstar' is written and directed by Advait Chandan. The film is slated to release on October 19. (ANI)

Bill Nye, America's favorite nerdy dad, is coming to Netflix with a new show
With reboots of series like Full House and Gilmore Girls, it's no secret Netflix is capitalizing on our Y2K-era nostalgia — and we're not mad about it. On Wednesday, IndieWire reported beloved science dad Bill Nye will join the fray with a new Netflix talk show, Bill Nye Saves the World.
The series is slated to premiere in spring 2017, with each episode tackling "a topic from a scientific point of view, dispelling myths and refuting anti-scientific claims that may be espoused by politicians, religious leaders or titans of industry," according to the Netflix release, IndieWire reported.
If the last part of that summary sounds pointed, it's probably because it is. Nye has been blunt about why climate change doubters are so painfully wrong and has even used science to take down anti-abortion advocates.
"Today, I'm excited to be working with Netflix on a new show, where we'll discuss the complex scientific issues facing us today, with episodes on vaccinations, genetically modified foods and climate change," Nye said in a statement, according to IndieWire. "With the right science and good writing, we'll do our best to enlighten and entertain our audience."
"And," he added, "perhaps we'll change the world a little."
We're here for that.

What The Hell Is An 'Innovation Agency' Anyway?
A talk at music, arts and cultural festival, South by Southwest (SXSW) Dan Whitmarsh, head of tech at full service agency The White Agency saw two agency guys chat about innovation. Descriptions varied, but there's always mistakes to learn from.
A few weeks ago my colleague James Keeler and I did a talk on how to foster an innovation culture and how we have tried to do that at The White Agency. This talk was at PauseFest 2015 in Melbourne so going to see a talk about 'Innovation Agencies' at SXSW was always going to be fascinating.
This session was split across two different agencies – Mickey Ristroph, CEO from specialist mobile consultancy Mutual Mobile and Ben Gaddis, chief innovation officer from tech-fueled creative agency T3.
Mutual Mobile
I always find it interesting how people define innovation and have heard so many takes on it, especially at SXSW. Ristroph feels that innovation is solving problems in new ways for the benefits of others. He stated "products you build as an agency need to be valuable, feasible and desirable".
Some things to consider:
Is this product valuable?
Successful projects are measured by the value created for those that created it
Cutting edge of feasible
We all know mobile tech has opened a whole new world of possibilities in the last five years. How can we push the boundaries of what technologies can do?
Great products solve real problems for real people, or delight them in ways they did not imagine.
The digital experience becomes the purpose of the brand. The digital part is how they do it. Nike for example has had a very successful campaign where users upload video of themselves doing tricks that are then rated. This was a successful innovation piece that integrated content and commerce.
So if innovation is solving a problem in a new way and the definition of an agency is working for the benefit of someone else, Ristroph argues that Innovation agencies solve problems in new ways for the benefits of others.
Innovation however isn't always valuable; it's on us to make sure the work is good. He explained that innovation is only built by: passionate talent; cross discipline teams, and; working iteratively.
This struck a chord with me because at White we work in cross-disciplined projects teams, in an iterate manner, with many passionate members of staff.
Gaddis described innovation in a slightly different way – "Kick ass work for clients that want kiss ass". This is T3's innovation motto aiming to solve business problems in a small iterative way.
Gaddis, like Ristroph beforehand, talked about how innovation doesn't always pay off – actually hardly ever. Only 18% of executives feel their innovation efforts deliver any sort of competitive advantage and a staggering 95% of innovation fails.
Gaddis explained the top four errors T3 made and what they would do different now – vital information for any agency wanting to build innovative products.
Error 1 – T3 built one size fits all mentality
There are lots of different types of innovation. T3 has now set up T3 Ventures, a smaller company whose goal it is to get in early and help the innovation piece. They also have their own lab group who only work on innovation. T3 gives clients solutions before they are ready for it and have helped companies like Atlas raise $630k crowd funding in 30 days to get their innovation piece up and running.
- Hire the right people
- 95% of ideas suck
- Bring in outside thinking
Error 2– T3 ran away from process
It is vital that with any innovation piece you drill down to know all the details otherwise you will fail. Process, process, process! Every hour, on the hour, people in the innovation team are made to demonstrate their idea rather than just after eight hours. I love this and it means that if someone is going off track they have only lost one hour not a whole day. I also feel this keeps motivation and interest levels higher.
- Process isn't a bad word
- Neither is metrics
- Sometimes time is your enemy – but anyone working to project deadlines knows this!
Error 3 – We did not commit to being first
If you don't someone else will. You need to have experience on things that don't exist rather than opinions. Experience is invaluable.
- Talking is bullshit. Doing is not.
- Put someone in charge of making sure you are first
- Commit to ridiculous things
Error 4 – We expected our client to fund the bill
This just doesn't work!
- Put your money where your mouth is
- Change the conversation
- Butter up your CFO
Obviously for most, getting an endless amount of money is not going to be possible, but it's really about getting into the right mindset. T3 is a full service agency that has made some really cool products. One they demonstrated that I thought was cool was called Pulse. T3 used biometrics via a wearable device, such as a watch, and measure how the user is feeling and from this changes the experience within an app.
Pulse is linked to Tinder and instead of a person looking at a potential match and then making a choice after the user has reviewed the potential match, it does the swiping for you as it knows your true feeling.
I was really impressed by Ben Gaddis' talk. I really liked the honesty where T3 felt they had messed up and how they are really trying to make something of themselves in the innovation space.

The Donald in Full Attitude
I used to think that America had achieved the pinnacle of H.L.Mencken's famous quote about the eventual election of a moron with the disputed election of George W Bush but that was just a rung above the possibility of a President Trump. Donald Trump represents the last desperate hope of an American electorate who have been left out of the political process and have lost respect for our corpocracy ~ so in their powerless dilemma, many have turned to a billionaire huckster who will gleefully voice their fears and concerns while creating a grade D political reality show which sadly has become American politics: Allen L Roland, PhD
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." – H.L. Mencken (1880 – 1956)
Wall street (Corpocracy) has made its decision on where its money will go for the 2016 Presidential Election Primaries and the decision, no surprise, is Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Marc Rubio and the rest can scramble for the crumbs.
The Supreme Court Citizens United decision has given corporations a voice and vote in our elections so the corpocracy (Wall Street) essentialldecidethe winner through political donations and associated huge media exposure.
The public (voting electorate) don't have a chance since the electoral college voting system guarantees the decision will be made in essentially five states ~ regardless of the results of smaller states with Ohio and Florida being the principal states.
Unless we reverse Citizens United, the public is reduced to voices in the wind and as their frustrations mount they support and vote for candidates that are almost directly opposed to what they feel ~ they settle for mediocracy and rule by the corpocracy ~ while gnashing their teeth in the background.
Many, including myself, felt we had reached rock bottom with the election of George W Bush who immediately led us into our illegal war with Iraq and the loss and displacement of millions of Iraqi lives as well as over 6000 American servicemen and countless wounded in action ~ which we are still paying for.
Satirist Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker, recently satirized the entry of Donald Trump into the 2016 election primaries with his article ~ Bar Officially Cannot Be Lowered
" Logsdon acknowledged that he and his fellow scholars have come under fire in the past for claiming that the bar could not be further lowered, specifically when they issued a paper to that effect after the selection of the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee (Sarah Palin) in 2008.
Then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was formally nominated for vice president at the 2008 Republican National Convention
"We got that one wrong," he said. "Clearly, the bar still had a way to go."
Now that the issue of whether the bar can be further lowered has been settled, Logsdon and his colleagues plan to examine the question of whether there is anything left to scrape at the bottom of the barrel. "Our findings are preliminary, but it appears that the answer is no," he said."
"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out…without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable." ~ H. L. Mencken
But Trump may well survive the satire and abuse and play an important role in the upcoming 2016 Presidential Primaries as Michael Jensen points out in the Standard Democrat;
"Six months ago, by way of example, Donald Trump was not on anyone's radar screen. Six months ago the polls had Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker ~ with a side of Ted Cruz ~ as the recipe for Republican victory.
And rest assured, six months from now there will be yet another scenario that will surely change from today's snapshot.
I strongly suspect Trump has little or no chance of receiving the GOP nomination. He'll spend some of his fortune, that's for sure.
Trump is today's oddity and the lightening rod on the campaign trail.
But the Trump momentum is easy to understand.
Trump consistently says what many Americans feel and he says it bluntly – which is refreshing in the world of politics.
Trump says illegal immigration will unravel the fabric of our society. He's right. .
There is nothing politically correct about Donald Trump.
And right now, I honestly think the American public is sick and tired of political correctness.
What's really fascinating about the Trump candidacy is that despite massive and unprecedented efforts by the liberal national media to paint him as a clown, Trump keeps rolling on and making an impressive showing in virtually all polls.
That must surely have the liberals scratching their heads for an answer.
As I said, I think Trump is somewhat a flash in the pan; a popular guy in our reality television world.
But there is one major benefit to the Trump campaign.
Because of his success thus far, he is forcing the other GOP candidates to talk about the important issues and perhaps slant their opinions in a different direction.
And here is my ultimate dream.
I would love to see Trump and Hillary on the stage debating one day. He would eat her alive and throw the bones to the dogs.
I can think of no better end to her dismal political life"
But I Digress ~ a dull politically correct 2016 Presidential Primary season has suddenly come to life with the appearance of the Donald and despite his enormous ego and overbearing attitude, Trump may just, along with Bernie Sanders, help bring this election back to the issues the people really care about (and the corpocracy ignores) ~ and set the stage for a truly meaningful 2016 Presidential election.
As the late George Carlin once correctly exclaimed regarding our Congress ~ "It's a great big club, and you're not in it " ~ so get used to it because Corporations are people and the electorate are most definitely not to be trusted with the truth, starting with 9/11 and extending to Drone assassinations and TPP. But when the Truth does make its belated appearance ~ it may come in strange idiotic forms which most certainly could include Mr. Trump.
"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair." H.L Mencken

Allen, you should be gratified to know that on Michael Savage today, Trump was talking about how he'd get a better deal and what should be done about Iraq and Savage practically swooned. He then said that Trump was the one we were waiting for, he was "our generation's Churchill."
Well, after that I had to pull into Starbucks and get a cup to control my blood pressure. We can ignore the fact that the reason Churchill succeeded in WWII was because he was too old to be part of any relevant generation in terms of values, beliefs, attitudes and general focus. There are so many generations actively involved in politics that Trump does unite all manner of generational dumbasses. My first calm thought was that Savage must be using some really strong anti-psychotics and was having a bad reaction…or some really good dope. The other was a simple comparison: Churchill is to Trump as T Rex is to Parakeet.
I will now go open my copy of the Library of America's HL Mencken and commence to read about a more optimistic time.

@Ideas time:
I don't trust anyone who goes to Israel to kiss the Wall and Jewish ass. Anyone who puts the interests of the Jewish Rogue State over their own country is a traitor just like the last several Presidents we have had to suffer under.

I often disagree with Roland, but then the stable of Vets Today columnists generally disagree with each other about most things. However, when you cite Mencken on American customs, values and mores, it's hard to disagree. I'm impressed with this column; the idea is surfacing other places — Alec Baldwin on Stern this morning, for example — that given the system and the people we may well be facing the inevitable in Trump. Idiocracy is coming soon, to a street corner near you…chainsaw duels and tractor pulls will be dancing their way to a new consensus.
I'd feel smug about that, except I live here. I'm an American, and this is my country. So, it may be a cosmic waste of time, but I will continue to care, as I suspect most of us at Vets will do. We're going to talk crap about candidates, and processes and issues and whatever. Some of it will be reasoned, and some of it will be batshit. Some will be reasoned bat shit.
But Allen's final quote alone is worth the cost of admission; Mencken said what I think drives most of us with it…"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair." H.L Mencken

Entry requirements
The decision to allow you to study on a pre-sessional course and evidence your English language proficiency using ULC bands at the end of the course lies with your academic school. However, your school may ask you to take a recognised English language qualification such as IELTS.
You should contact your School or refer to your main course offer letter before applying for the pre-sessional course to check the details of your conditional offer. See the main University study pages for more information.
Which pre-sessional course should I apply for?
10 week and 6 week pre-sessional (indicative guide only)
|I need to increase my score (overall or by sub-skill) by:
|Minimum Pre-sessional Length
|1.0 (IELTS bands)
|10 weeks
|0.5 (IELTS bands)
|6 weeks
The above information is a guide only. Students who must increase their score in writing or in multiple sub-skills may be required to take a longer pre-sessional course than indicated above (eg 10 weeks rather than 6 weeks). The ULC admissions team will recommend the most suitable Pre-sessional course based on the current English Language level.
3 week pre-sessional entry requirements
- Minimum IELTS 6.5 overall, with no sub-skill below 6.0
- English language and academic conditions already fulfilled
- Unconditional offer holder for UG or PG course at The University of Manchester
Scores of IELTS 4.5 in any skill are too low for the ULC's pre-sessional courses. We recommend a period of study on our year round English for Academic Purposes course.
Information for students studying on a Tier 4 visa
English language tests
Below indicates which English language tests are acceptable for entry onto Pre-sessional courses for students coming to the UK on a Tier 4 visa.
|What kind of English test do I need?
|CAS* for Tier 4 visa covering Pre-sessional course only
|CAS* for Tier 4 visa covering Pre-sessional course plus University of Manchester degree course
|UKVI IELTS, Non-UKVI IELTS, TOEFL IBT, Pearson PTE
|UKVI IELTS, Non-UKVI IELTS, TOEFL IBT, Pearson PTE
|Not applicable
|UKVI IELTS, Non-UKVI IELTS, TOEFL IBT, Pearson PTE
CAS - Confirmation of acceptance to study
Please contact the Admissions Office for your degree level programme to find out whether you will be able to obtain a CAS for a Tier 4 visa which covers both the pre-sessional course and the degree level course. More information on this can be found in our frequently asked questions section.
If you have not yet completed your current academic study and are interested in studying a pre-sessional course, it is strongly recommended that you take the UKVI IELTS test to ensure that you are eligible for a separate visa for the English language course.
The current list of approved tests and providers accepted by the UKVI (in cases where separate CASs are required for the English language course and the degree course) can be found on the UKVI website.
Previous UK study
If you have previously studied in the UK on a degree level course, you will not be eligible to attend a pre-sessional course due to the UKVI limit on academic progression. Read more about Tier 4 Student Visa on the UK government website.

"To state the obvious, you don't want your National Security Adviser compromised with the Russians" — Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates
Yesterday on CNN's morning show, former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden gave his expert opinion on former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates's testimony before Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on crime and terrorism. Specifically, Hayden was interested in the part of the hearing during which Yates testified that she warned the White House counsel in very plain words that national security advisor General Mike Flynn (of deliciously ironic "Lock Her Up" fame) was open to blackmail by the Russians. Yates, for context, was appointed acting attorney general by President Obama after receiving her first federal appointment from George H.W. Bush and being promoted under both Clinton and Bush 43. "If the acting Attorney General insists on seeing the White House counsel, that is a tectonic thing in its own right," Hayden assured CNN viewers. "It suggests one: the chaos in the Trump White House, [two] is the inordinate distrust of officials from the government they were replacing, and [last] is going to feed that darker narrative with regard to the relationship with the Trump campaign and the Russian Federation."
But what was so shocking about Yates's testimony was that the White House Counsel in question — Donald McGahn, whose CV includes work for the Koch brothers as well as The Donald — at two separate meetings with multiple witnesses, was pretty unconcerned. When Yates informed McGahn that Mike Pence had been (assumedly without knowing he was doing so) relayed untrue information to the public and the press regarding Flynn's contact with the Russians, McGahn rather bewilderingly asked what concern it was of the Department of Justice if one White House official lies to another. As Senator Al Franken would imply during his time with Yates and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that the importance of such a lie on Flynn's part is almost laughably apparent with regard to the safety of the Republic.
While Franken stood out as an authoritative and logical voice (his connect-the-dots message regarding the aftermath of Flynn's firing is particularly satisfying to watch), his colleagues from across the aisle seemed determined to make complete fools of themselves with their pandering, ignorant lines of questioning and their overt condescension to a woman who proved her mind to be more than a legal match for anyone else in the room.
First came Ted Cruz, who was put in his place twice and then had to leave the chamber, apparently to find a nearby burn center to tend his wounds. Cruz started by attempting to prove the legality of Trump's Muslim ban by citing a statute to which Yates had a more recent, relevant statute ready at hand. Cruz then attempted to trap Yates with another question about the ban: "Are you aware of any instance in which the Department of Justice has formally approved the legality of a policy and three days later the Attorney General has directed the department not to follow that policy?" Yates was again having none of Cruz's condescension: "I'm not, but I'm also not aware of a situation where the Office of Legal Counsel was advised not to tell the Attorney General about it until after it was over," came the reply. It's worth noting here that most of the Republican questions had to do not with Russia, the topic at hand, but with the Muslim ban, which Yates blocked.
Next came Louisiana Senator John Kennedy, a Good Ole Boy right out of central casting (you could Photoshop his pathetically-chinned face onto every white male extra in Mississippi Burning without anyone noticing). This fossil of a man just about needed Yates to explain the role of the Attorney General to him after he asked with barely-veiled misogyny, "Who appointed you to the Supreme Court?" as though the nine justices were the only constitutional lawyers in the country. But the ignorance didn't stop in the Senate. Yesterday, Sean Spicer defended Trump's "decisive" action on Flynn despite the fact that it took 18 days for Trump to make a decision before accusing Yates of being pro-Clinton based on "widely rumored" accounts.
And just to put a nice cherry on top of the whole affair, The Don slouched toward Twitter to both intimidate Yates before her hearing and completely misunderstand James Clapper's most important testimony in his pathetic desperation to be free of the black cloud of corruption hanging over Trump's circus of an administration. Whether they like it or not, Yates filled in some important gaps in the Russia question on Monday, and the snowball continues to roll down the hill. If you listen closely, the shifting before an avalanche can be heard.

Jethro Tull "Aqualung" Prog Flute Folk Women's T Shirt
Is it possible that Ian Anderson was singing about someone other than himself on the epic Aqualung? Perhaps, but we don't think so... Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" has always been a fascinating album of eccentric melody and vintage rocking grooves... just as this tee shirt brings the warmth of Ian's flute to your skin and soul!
His majestic dance caught in a timeless pose, the way we'll always remember him... there's been no other like him for 40 years, and we don't expect to see any like him for another 40 or more... he left the mark of Locomotive Breath, so you better stay off of the tracks!! Heeeyyyy Aqualung!!!!

This greatest hits has all of Soundgarden's best songs from their diverse
studio outings- from the raw grunge fury of early albums like 'Louder Than
Love' and 'Badmotorfinger' to the commercially flavoured 'Superunknown' and
finally; the moody experimentation of 'Down On The Upside'. Includes one new
track- the mild rocker 'Bleed Together'. Nothing overly spectacular about
the song, but it's easy listening nonetheless. Excellent for those who have
very limited knowledge of the band and wish to know what all the fuss was
