Master's students must take all four core units and two of the optional units. Successful completion of the dissertation leads to the full master's award (a total of 180 credit points). You will undertake research methods training before accessing the dissertation unit. Visit our programme catalogue for full details of the structure and unit content for our MSc in Advanced Social Work with Children and Families.
Credit-only students can undertake any of the units available on the programme. This will give you the opportunity to gain academic credits towards your continuing professional development. However, if you want to build up academic credits to work towards a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma or MSc, you will need to take careful note of the requirements for these programmes in terms of core and optional units.
There is also a Graduate Certificate in Social Work with Children and Families for prospective students without an undergraduate qualification.
Entry requirements
Professional social work qualification (or equivalent) and current registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (or equivalent). An honours degree (or equivalent qualification demonstrated through experience in the field), and a demonstrable ability to study at postgraduate level.

On June 25, the Supreme Court announced its decision in the case of American Broadcasting Cos. v. Aereo, Inc., which decided whether copyright laws apply to a company that captures over-the-air local TV broadcasts and feeds them to users via the Internet in the same way that they apply to cable companies, who currently pay broadcast copyright fees for the same material. The justices decided by a 6-3 vote that "Aereo performs petitioners' works publicly within the meaning of the Transmit Clause of the Copyright Act of 1976." Aereo must therefore either pay fees for retransmitting copyrighted material or cease operations.
The majority opinion was delivered by Justice Stephen Breyer and was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor. A dissenting opinion was filed by Justice Antonin Scalia and was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Writing for the majority, Justice Breyer said "[H]aving considered the details of Aereo's practices, we find them highly similar to those of the CATV systems… And those are activities that the 1976 amendments sought to bring within the scope of the Copyright Act. Insofar as there are differences, those differences concern not the nature of the service that Aereo provides so much as the technological manner in which it provides the service. We conclude that those differences are not adequate to place Aereo's activities outside the scope of the Act. For these reasons, we conclude that Aereo 'performs' petitioners' copyrighted works 'publicly,' as those terms are defined by the Transmit Clause."
Writing for the minority, Justice Scalia said, "It is not the role of this court to identify and plug loopholes. It is the role of good lawyers to identify and exploit them, and the role of Congress to eliminate them if it wishes. Congress can do that … in a much more targeted, better informed, and less disruptive fashion that the crude 'looks-like-cable-TV' solution the court invents today." He also compared the decision to Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. (1984), in which the Supreme Court came within one vote of banning VCR technology for similar reasons.
"National Association of Broadcasters is pleased the Supreme Court has upheld the concept of copyright protection that is enshrined in the Constitution by standing with free and local television," the lobby group said in a statement.
"What this decision does is affirm the mold we have, that companies that spend billions on content for an expected revenue stream, is going to continue," said Neal Katyal, a partner with the law firm Hogan Lovells and former acting U.S. solicitor general, who advised broadcasters in the case.
Chet Kanojia, Aereo's founder and CEO, said the ruling "sends a chilling message to the technology industry. When new technology enables consumers to use a smarter, easier-to-use antenna, consumers and the marketplace win. Free-to-air broadcast television should not be available only to those who can afford to pay for the cable or satellite bundle." He also took offense at the Court's suggestion that those interested in developing such technologies should turn to Congress. "That begs the question: Are we moving towards a permission-based system for technology innovation?" Kanojia asked.
Aereo is currently operating in 11 markets. Subscribers pay an $8 monthly fee for the basic service, and can get DVR storage for an additional $4 per month per 20 hours of storage.
All of the major broadcast networks filed suit against Aereo, as did many local TV station owners. Each side has won several court cases at lower levels, opening up the opportunity for the Supreme Court decision.
From a philosophical libertarian perspective, copyright is a form of protectionism which infringes upon the exercise of physical property rights, and is therefore an invalid concept.

Deer and Bear Hunting Topics on the Agenda at the FWC Meeting Feb. 4-5 in Jax
Big things are a-brewing at the FWC meeting next week – and, no, I don't mean the creation of Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day. (Great, another gift-giving holiday!) No, a seismic shift is set to occur for deer hunting in Florida with the state-wide implementation of Deer Management Units (DMUs). For those who have not been paying attention, the state will be carved into zones with differing antler restrictions and doe management plans for each zone as set forth by… Read More »

Know one knows another's woes,
while they sit on their beds, rocking to and fro.
Know one feels another's pain,
except for the Empath, who stands back in the rain.
Know one breathes the air into our lungs,
or exhales our cries when we're coming undone.
Know one stands there looking for flaws,
the way we all do, both hands on our jaws.
Everyone sees the smile on our face,
forced through our tears as we go through our paces.
Everyone sees us dance in the rain,
both arms out, like wings, the span of a plane.
Everyone sees the exhaust on our faces,
when we finally sit down after a long days races.
Running here, running there,
getting this, giving that,
trying to wear every style, every hat.
We are deer in the headlights,
the blind spot on cars
all women from Venus,
all men from Mars.
Speed up, wind down, breathe in between,
become what we wanted, not stuck under a heel.
The shoes are worn as we walk on,
towards a new journey, laying paths for our spawn.
In wonder, in lust, in faith we thrust forth, trying to build trust,
that what we all want is right and just.
One step to far and we'll lose all our focus.
One step, not enough, and we're bound to wind up facing refocus.
Freely we wander, like ships in the night,
or white feathery birds, wings spread, taking flight.
These are just words that I wrote on a page,
eyes dance across as they're starting to gauge,
something important sparked one maybe two,
you are someone like me, I am someone like you.

SAP's Wookey outlines the company's on-demand ambitions
SAP customers won't be able to buy the entire Business Suite on-demand but will be able to add new, line-of-business apps on a subscription basis, according to John Wookey.
Enterprise-size customers will be able to buy on-demand, line-of-business applications that will integrate with and augment functionality in Business Suite deployments, John Wookey, SAP's head of on-demand strategy for enterprises, said today.
SAP's latest on-demand strategy for large companies marks two big changes over its earlier attempts with on-demand products.
First, these applications are intended only for Business Suite customers, who will use them to add functionality in, for instance, their main SAP ERP or SCM systems. Customers would pay for the add-ons on a subscription basis. The on-demand applications will run with versions of the Business Suite back to R/3 4.6c, up to the most current release.
Moreover, SAP will host the applications using a multi-tenant architecture, moving away from the isolated tenant model it's still trying to make work for Business ByDesign, its on-demand ERP. This model will enable SAP to sell the new on-demand software at a reasonable price to customers, while still making a profit, Wookey said.
"On-demand is a very significant trend in this industry. It really is the next architecture for building and delivering applications," he said. "The thing that makes us different is we're building it with a central focus around the SAP installed base."
In November, SAP hired Wookey to head up development of on-demand applications for large companies. Wookey was Oracle's head of applications development until he left the company in 2007.
SAP currently sells e-sourcing, carbon management and CRM applications via the on-demand model. SAP's on-demand ERP for small and medium-sized businesses, Business ByDesign, was debuted two years ago but hasn't yet been fully released to the market.
Wookey doesn't envision selling on-demand ERP or SCM suites to large companies, unlike Business ByDesign. He said he thinks that in general when large companies are looking at Software as a Service, they're trying to solve a specific problem.
Integration, cited as one of the biggest challenges for those deploying on-demand applications, is also a big driver of SAP's plans. When customers deploy a typical on-demand service, they have to re-invent a lot of the work that's already in the central system.
In contrast, SAP's on-demand applications will plug into the Business Suite, ensuring that business processes automatically flow from the Business Suite to the on-demand applications.
"The thing we're doing is eliminating that integration step," Wookey said. "We're integrating on-demand services into the Business Suite."
Wookey raised such integration concerns when asked about this week's announcement that Siemens, a large SAP customer, is deploying SuccessFactors' on-demand talent management software for 420,000 users.
"I think the challenge Siemens is going to have with SuccessFactors is that they now have an [SAP] HCM deployment they'll constantly be reconciling with a SuccessFactors deployment," he said. "It becomes an ongoing cost for customers to deal with."
That said, "The deal with Siemens validates what we're doing," he said.
The on-demand applications will be hosted in a multi-tenant architecture, meaning one instance of the application will be accessed by all customers. In contrast, Business ByDesign and SAP CRM On-Demand were both developed with the isolated tenancy model, in which each customer has its own instance of the application, with SAP executives extolling the advantages of the model.
Multi-tenancy enables SAP to operate the software at a much lower cost, keeping the cost of the software low and competitive, while still enabling the company to make a profit, he said. One of the reasons Business ByDesign has been delayed, according to analysts, is that SAP can't figure out how to propagate software updates across individual customer instances in an affordable manner.
"Multi-tenancy offers us an ability to deliver in a single deployment model the solution for many customers and keep the business processes segregated and secure," Wookey said.
To that end, over the next year, SAP CRM On-Demand will be moved to a multi-tenant architecture, without noticeable disruption to current customers, he said. The move will mean a lower operating cost for customers.
However, Business ByDesign is a very different application, Wookey said. Business ByDesign customers will want to have control over their own deployments for many reasons -- first and foremost, to control the upgrade cycles more directly, he said.
SAP will debut its on-demand strategy with the small set of applications to make sure they can do everything sufficiently, he said. This means that new applications which Wookey is envisioning, like expense management, probably won't be available until the middle of next year.
Wookey said customers will see products go to market quickly, however, because SAP is using an agile development process.
Technologies from companies SAP has acquired are central to the development of its on-demand applications. It's using the platform from Frictionless Commerce to build on-demand services.
In turn, recently acquired SkyData, which builds mobile social CRM applications, will help SAP fufill its next phase of innovation for integrating social applications. Wookey sees social applications being important in project management, for instance.
"One of the things that [will] be important in on-demand is the ability to build systems that easily integrate with those kinds of systems," he said.
Clear Standards, an on-demand carbon-usage management application SAP acquired around the time of its Sapphire conference, will be folded into the on-demand portfolio.
Wookey is confident that his team, which he described as akin to a startup company within SAP and which includes engineers from Salesforce.com and Frictionless Commerce, will make SAP's on-demand vision successful.
"I've got a bunch of on-demand veterans as key parts of the management team," he said. "I'm feeling we're on the right track."

Is there a way that I can find out what model it is so that I can purchase a service manual. I would appreciate your help please. Cheers Perry

Adding IntelliSense tooltips, XML comments, and documentation
Adding IntelliSense tooltips, XML comments, and documentation <URL:https://dotnet.currifex.org/dotnet/faqs/tooltipsxmldocumentation/en/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding IntelliSense tooltips, XML comments, and documentation Adding tooltips in IntelliSense for Visual Basic .NET assemblies and creating HTML Help documentation: Visual Studio .NET takes the text shown in IntelliSense tips from an XML file that is provided in addition to the assembly (for example, a DLL). The XML file must have the same name as the corresponding DLL with ".xml" appended and has to be placed in the same folder as the assembly (assembly "Foo.dll", XML file "Foo.dll.xml"). The format of the XML file taken by Visual Studio .NET is specified here: C# Programmer's Reference -- Processing the XML File <URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/csref/html/vclrfprocessingxmlfile.asp> For C#, Visual Studio .NET creates this XML file automatically (compiler option "/doc"). This is supported by Visual Basic 2005 too, but there is no built-in support in Visual Basic .NET 2002/2003. In C# XML comments are preceeded by '///', in Visual Basic 2005 they are preceeded by three consecutive single quote characters '''''. An XML comment skeleton is inserted automatically when entering this character sequence. You can create the XML file by hand, but notice that this will take a lot of time and it will be hard to keep the file up to date when parts of the assembly change. It's much easier to use one of the tools listed below to create the XML file. Tools like NDoc will take the XML file and create an HTML Help file from the XML formatted data. One easy way to create the XML file is to provide information for tooltips as XML comments inside the Visual Basic .NET source files and then use tools like VB.DOC to create the XML file that contains the data. Then you can copy this file into the assembly's directory to provide information to Visual Studio .NET that enables it to display tooltips, or you can create a help file. The help file can be deployed with the assembly and can be used by other developers who use the assembly as reference. .NET 2.0: <URL:http://www.help-info.de/en/Visual_Basic_2005/vb_2005.htm>. NDoc 2.0 (for .NET 2.0) development has been cancelled: NDoc 2.0 - R.I.P <URL:http://weblogs.asp.net/bhouse/archive/2006/07/26/NDoc-2.0-_2D00_-R.I.P.aspx> Fix for NDoc 2.0: NDoc 2.0 Alpha <URL:http://www.kynosarges.de/NDoc.html> Microsoft is preparing a replacement product called Sandcastle: Sandcastle - July 2006 Community Technology Preview (CTP) <URL:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E82EA71D-DA89-42EE-A715-696E3A4873B2&displaylang=en> News on Sandcastle <URL:http://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/> Visual Basic .NET 2002/2003: VB Commenter <URL:http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/> -> "VB Commenter" Generating Documentation for Your Visual Basic .NET Applications <URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/VBGeneratingDocs.asp> Dokumentationen für Visual Basic .NET-Anwendungen <URL:http://www.microsoft.com/germany/msdn/library/net/vbnet/DokumentationenFuerVisualBasicNETAnwendungen.mspx> XML Documentation <URL:http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/vb/> -> "XML Documentation" VBXC - VB.NET XML Commentor <URL:http://vbxmldoc.tor-erik.net/> NDoc Code Documentation Generator for .NET <URL:http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/> VB.DOC <URL:http://vb-doc.sourceforge.net/> <URL:http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=112b5449-f702-46e2-87fa-86bdf39a17dd> Commercial: VBdocman .NET <URL:http://www.vbdocman.com/> C# XML comments: C# Programmer's Reference -- Recommended Tags for Documentation Comments <URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/csref/html/vclrfTagsForDocumentationComments.asp>

Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Choosing a template file, part of Learning Revit.
Knowing how to open existing projects is important but knowing how to create your…own project is equally important. So in this movie I'd like to look at the…ways that we can create a new Revit project.…So I'm looking at the recent file screen that will greet me when I first launch…Revit. And up here in the Projects location we…have an open link which we used in the previous few movies.…And right beneath that we have a new link. Now beneath that we also have several…predefined items. There's a construction template,…architectural template, structural, and so on.…It's possible for you to create a new project from scratch, but that's typically…not the recommended approach. What you typically want to do is start a…new project from a template. Now, a template file in Revit is pretty…similar to a template file in really any piece of software.…
It's essentially a starting point. That template file contains within it, all…of the settings and configuration that you would typically want to have at the…beginning of any new project. The goal in creating a good template is to…
Note: The techniques shown in this course will work with any version of Revit, but due to backwards compatibility issues, the exercise files for this course will only work with Revit 2014. Unfortunately, we cannot downsave the files. Please see a Revit 2013 course for usable files.
- Understanding the different editions of Revit
- Setting up levels and grids
- Adding doors and windows
- Loading families
- Working with 3D views
- Dimensioning a plan
- Adding a schedule view
- Importing CAD files
- Linking to another Revit file
- Creating sheets
- Plotting a set of documents
- Generating a cloud rendering
Skill Level Beginner
Q: Will Revit 2014 files work in a previous version of Revit? Will the exercise files for this course work in Revit 2013?
A: Revit file formats are not backwards compatible. A new file format is introduced with each new release. Newer versions of Revit can open older version files without issue. However, files will be upgraded to the latest file format during the initial open. Once saved in the current version, there is no way to save them back to a previous version. Therefore, it is important to consider this issue carefully and discuss it with all project team members before beginning a project. For example, it is not possible for the architect to use a newer version of the software than the consulting engineers and vice-versa. All members of the team must collaborate using the same version/file format. This course was authored using Revit 2014. Therefore, its exercise files can be used with any flavor of Revit (Architecture, MEP, Structure, or LT) 2014 and later. Files cannot be opened with versions 2013 and prior.

Funfest Report and Pictures
What a fantastic day the last day of June was. Suddenly it was summer and the gazebos, bouncy castles and bunting were out under a bright blue sky. Yes this was the setting for the Lions Funfest.
This event has traditionally been held in Fleet but the time had come to give this event a refreshing make-over and so for the second time it was held at the Yateley Manor School.
And what a success it was!
Let this eager Lion reporter remind you just what Funfest is. It is a festival, a funday out for people with disabilities and their families who live in or near our area.
It is organised and run by the Lions Clubs of Farnborough, Fleet, Hart, Hook & Odiham, Lodden Valley and Yateley together with Aldershot and Sirius Lions Clubs who are branch clubs of Fleet.
From horse rides to train rides, bungee jumping, from a coconut shy to face painting, from Marching Bands to an Elvis impersonator, it was all there and all free for our 650 friends who so rarely get the opportunity to enjoy these kinds of things in the big world.
Which fairground waits for as long as it takes while a disabled child is carefully helped onto and off a roundabout? FunFest does!
Which fete shows a challenged senior how to aim and fire a crossbow? FunFest does!
Which festival lets the contestants move closer and closer until they DO win a prize? FunFest does?
And who runs FunFest? Local Lions! And who helps pay for this terrific day out for these people and their carers? You do, with your donations to Lions! So thanks, because we couldn't do it for them, without YOU!

- Understand the primary reason for handcuffing.
- Understand the law, including compliance with: Section 3 (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1967, Common Law, Section 117 PACE and Articles 5, 3 and 2 of the Human Rights Act 1998.
- Understand the medical implications of handcuffing, including positional asphyxia.
- Demonstrate how to apply handcuffs to a passive subject.
- Demonstrate how to apply handcuffs to an aggressive subject.
- Demonstrate how to remove handcuffs correctly.
Basic Handcuff Training Course Content
The Basic Handcuff Training Course is 1-day long. The following topics will be covered during the course:

Many couples will be lucky enough to have a friend or relative with their own video equipment who offers to fulfill the videography role on the day. However, to immediately take them up on this kind offer is akin to having someone with an oven bake your cake!
If you have read any of the Weddingsday articles on videography, you will have quickly determined that there is a lot more to the whole filming process than just a half-decent video camera and a steady hand.
So, for any couples out there who are contemplating heading down the DIY Videography route, we strongly suggest that you take a look at the pro's and con's of doing so before you make any decisons.

This shows you the differences between two versions of the page.
layer:presenter [2013/06/28 20:48] (current)
david created
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
|====== Presenter Layer ======
|This layer provides a way to display another video source alongside the layers below and easily switch between fullscreen views of either. When activated, the view of the underlying layers is minimized to the corner and another definable source sweeps in from behind. The placement of the sources can be swapped. You can apply shortcut keys to the source controls.
|This layer is similar to the [[Presenter 2D]] layer, but does not have parameters to customize the size and placement of the sources. The animation is done in a 3D perspective whereas the 2D version simply scales the sources.
|{{:layer:layer-presenter-parameters.png?nolink |}}
|^ Group ^ Parameter ^ Function ^
|| Control | A--B Transition | Defines the transition when switching between ''A'' and ''B''. Can be either ''Cut'' or ''Dissolve''. |
|| ::: | Transition Duration | When Dissolve is set above, this is the time it takes to complete the fade. |
|| ::: | Motion Detect | You can have the layer automatically switch to presenter view if a change is detected in Source B. A potential use of this would be to have a slideshow as your Source B (by using a Screen Source capturing presentation software on another monitor). Any time the slide changes, your underlying layers (such as a camera on yourself) will move out of the way to show the new slide. |
|| ::: | Display | //These 3 buttons are available when Motion Detect is disabled.// Pressing ''A'' makes everything below the layer fullscreen (essentially a layer bypass). Pressing ''B'' makes the source defined below fullscreen. Pressing ''A and B'' shows both sources next to each other as per the parameters in the Content section below. Going between ''A'' and ''B'' follows the transition settings above. Going to or from ''A and B'' follows the transition settings in the section below. |
|| ::: | Threshold | //Available with Motion Detect.// Sets how sensitive the trigger is to motion in Source B. The layer preview above has an indicator of the current motion as well as the threshold. Set this so that it is not too hard to trigger, but also so that it does not trigger accidentally. |
|| ::: | Signal | //Available with Motion Detect.// Allows you to manually Show Source B. |
|| ::: | Slides time | //Available with Motion Detect.// Defines how long Source B should remain active after triggering it. |
|| Content | Source B | Select the source you want to use as Source B. If a movie is selected, the layer will enter presenter view when set to Live and disable itself when the timer ends. |
|| ::: | Adjust Aspect Ratio | ''Show whole image'' will show the entire source at its original aspect ratio. ''Crop to match'' sets the source's frame to the same proportions as the document, and scales the source proportionately to fill. |
|| ::: | Fade Out Background | If Show whole image is selected above and the source's aspect ratio doesn't match that of the document, this option will fade the layer's background to black when Source B is set to fullscreen. |
|| ::: | Position | Sets whether Source A should be on the left of right in presenter view. |
|| ::: | Reflection | Applies a reflection effect underneath the sources. |
|| Transition | Duration | Defines the transition time when switching to or from ''A and B''. This is also the transition time for toggling the layer Live. |

Gallbladder drainage guided by endoscopic ultrasound
Súbtil JC, Betes M, Muñoz-Navas M.
Gastroenterology Department, University Clinic of Navarra, Pamplona 31008, Spain
Magazine: World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopic
Date: Jun 1, 2010Digestive [SP]
The gold-standard management of acute cholecystitis is cholecystectomy. Surgical intervention may be contraindicated due to permanent causes. To date, the classical approach is percutaneous cholecystostomy in patients unresponsive to medical therapy.
However, with this treatment some patients may experience discomfort, complications and a decrease in their quality of life. In these cases, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage may represent an effective minimally invasive alternative.
Our objective is to describe in detail this new and not well-known technique: EUS-guided cholecystenterostomy. We will describe how the patient should be prepared, what accessories are needed and how the technique is performed. We will also discuss the possible indications for this technique and will provide a brief review based on published reports and our own experience.

The Springtime Math Trade - RESULTS POSTED (See discussion)
- Carl Anderson(carl67lp)United States
New Boston
For many of us, it\'s near the end of our spring semesters of school--be it college, high school, elementary school, or preschool. (I\'ll leave it to you to judge who belongs where.)
But that\'s not why we\'re having a math trade. Instead, we\'re having one because it\'s The Right Thing To Do.
Submissions posted no later than (including sweeteners): Thursday, April 17, 5:00pm MST (PDT)
Summary of submissions posted (by me): Thursday, April 17, 11:30pm MST (PDT) (or earlier--but no guarantees)
Want lists due: Sunday, April 20, 6:00pm MST (PDT)
Results posted: Sunday, April 20, 10:00pm MST (PDT) (or earlier)
These dates and times are set in stone. They are selfishly set to work around my own schedule. Keep in mind that you have a four-hour window to verify your want lists on Sunday night. I will make no exceptions to these dates or times unless something catastrophic happens. (In the past, I\'ve even disallowed wants lists from users whose games I personally wanted.)
Method of finding trades
We will be using TradeMaximizer with the following options:
* Linear Priorities
* Duplicate Protection
For details on TradeMaximizer, including how to use linear priorities and duplicate protection, consult its Wiki page:
I will post the formatting required once the final entries are in. In addition, I will be the sole person running TradeMaximizer, and my results (open to public scrutiny, of course) will be the official ones.
There are no rules. I tire easily of them. Well, there\'s one rule: You must trade geek items only. That is, games are obviously preferred, but DVDs, video games, computer hardware and software, and so on are fine. Check with me if you\'re uncertain. However, I ask that you be sensible; don\'t list fifteen VGA cables and expect me to be pleased.
GeekGold arbitrage? I don\'t care one way or the other. It is allowed.
Gift certificates? Allowed, but with restrictions. If you don\'t like that, please run your own math trade.
* Only one gift certificate may be offered per person.
* Gift certificates may be for any amount.
* The gift certificate must be for a single store only (in other words, no \"$25 to any of the following 10 stores...\").
How to List
* Please list sweeteners using either the GAMEID formatting (preferred, for example: [ GAMEID=3076 ], but without the spaces) or a link to the game\'s page (this will look like http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/3076).
* You must accurately describe your game\'s condition, language, edition, etc.
* You should choose a photo that best represents the game you are trading (language, edition, and the like). If there are none suitable in the database, pick the one that\'s closest and make a note in your item listing. In general, hitting the Tab key to leave the GAMEID field, then tabbing out of the Image field, will choose the \"representative\" image. This is often exactly what you want.
* You must submit a want list for each game you are offering. If you don\'t want to trade, submit a blank list.
* Traders from all countries are allowed. Specify your restrictions on shipping in your listing. I encourage, but do not require, setting your shipping policies to allow for all countries. An easy way to keep things under control is to set an upper bound on the cost you\'re willing to pay.
* I reserve the right to remove games from the list for whatever reason, especially those which I feel violate the spirit of this math trade. If you are on the bad traders list, your games will be removed.
* Use the related forum thread for questions and discussions of this math trade (however, for questions on individual items, please leave comments on the item itself, here on the list).
* Do not submit want lists until the summary has been posted. They will most likely be deleted.
* If you are unsure of how to construct your want lists, please wait until the submission period has closed, and then ask questions in the forum thread.
If you are unfamiliar with math trades, please read Math Trade Wiki page at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Math+Trades
By posting an entry on this list, you agree to abide both by the general math trade guidelines and by those specific to this math trade.
Note: only errors by the moderator will invalidate the results. You are also responsible for checking the full set of want lists when they are posted as soon as possible (and definitely before the results are posted) for any cut/paste errors. This policy will not be modified or relaxed!

God of War 3 has always been the pinnacle of violence, epic stage sequences, and gore in a video game series. Sony announced a God of War III: Remastered, and along with Santa Monica Studios they brought back the most gory, sexual, and violent God of War title in the series, and it's just the way we like it.
Related: Top 5: God of War Moments
God of War 3 is set straight after the events of God of War 2. Kratos and the Titans are headed towards Mt. Olympus to confront Zeus and take him down once and for all. Kratos has formed an army of Titans o help him avenge the death of his family. Everything in the series has lead up to the moments in God of War 3, Kratos is angry, he wants his revenge and will stop at nothing to get it.
The remaster does not sway off the path of the original at all. It is the exact same game, with 1080p, 60fps visuals, and a better texture resolution. It is clear from the get go that this is a prettier version of the game. Although this is a remaster, some nice motion blur, or particle effects from Kratos' blades would have added to the crisper visuals in the long run. At times it just feels like there could have been more effort put in to the port. Sure there are some added sound effects to the DualShock 4 when levelling up your weapons, but that is the extent of the new additions. Regardless, the core gameplay is the main attraction here.
As someone who got a platinum trophy on the original PS3 title, to replay God of War 3 was amazing. The game has some of the best boss battles and set pieces in the series, from the battle with Cronos, to the fight against Poseidon while on Gaia's head. It is one huge action game that really sets the bar for creative enemies and crafty battle sequences. You start off the game with everything you had at the end of God of War 2, and in a matter of minutes you lose everything by falling into the River Styx. Here you begin your adventure as you need to find you way back up to the top of Mt. Olympus.
The battle system in God of War sees you bashing buttons to chain together heavy and light attacks with different weapons. Enemies then either crumble leaving behind red orbs or you need to complete a certain button sequence to lethal kill them. These lethal kills are sometimes pulling out an Ogre's eye, gutting a Minotaur, or beheading a Gorgon. The battles get intense as you always need to be ready to block an attack, roll out of the way or find a weak spot on an enemy. It's all rewarding at the end, and once you have acquired more weapons, upgraded them, and have gotten the hang of battles, it's one of the game's best features.
When you are not killing enemies in the most gruesome way possible, you are exploring the beautiful landscapes of the Underworld, and Mt Olympus. These areas are well put together and they are carefully created to imagine exactly what the world of the Greek Gods would have actually looked like. There are cleverly designed puzzles at every turn, and boxes hidden away behind walls that are often missed due to the game's fixed camera. While you are exploring the area you are always on the lookout for large boxes that contain Phoenix feathers, and Ogre eyes that increase your overall health and magic bar. You also need to snatch up every red chest for red orbs that are needed to level up your weapons, ultimately unlocking new attacks.
When the main game is over you can enter the arena mode, this is the most challenging part of the game and pits you against certain enemies with certain requirements that have to be met in order to win the round. This all adds to the overall gameplay experience and lets you also train in the "Art of Kratos" so you are master when it is time to take on the hardest game mode.
Overall God of War 3: Remastered is great, it looks good considering it is a port, it runs smoothly, and it is a reminder of why we love Kratos and all his anger so much. With 4 difficulties, new costumes that change your abilities, and the arena mode, its replayability is fantastic.

Just because the colder months have now officially rolled in, and you've changed up your summer skincare routine, it doesn't mean you have to do the same with your makeup. I am a dewy skin kinda girl above 0'degrees celcius and also below it. So here is my take on getting radiant skin this season, and who better to help you achieve it than trusty NARS.
One of my favourite foundations of all time is NARS sheer glow. It's velvetty finish, full coverage but lightweight feel is heavenly on your skin and it creates the most beautiful flawless finish, providing a great base for makeup. Great for all skin types, NARS sheer glow gives the most gorgeous dewy finish, and mixes really well with cream products and powders which you can't always find with dewy foundations.
To really up the amp on a radiant glow, I sometimes mix in my NARS Copacabana illuminator into my foundation, or apply it onto the areas I want to highlight afterwards. It's so gorgeous, but subtle. Not obvious and looks like your skin is just naturally glowing. I find that with highlighters they tend to be very pinky toned, very gold, or very pearly, but this one hits the nail on the head. It's a light pearlescent shimmer that sinks into the skin leaving the most subtle but effective finish.
Adding to my radiant glow, I like to contour with my NARS laguna bronzer. I can't find the right words to describe this bronzer other than 'kdsihfdkisahiaouiez'. I'v hit pan on mine and so it's about time I picked up a new one. It's just such a gorgeous colour, again great for all skin tones, and being matte, is a great one for contouring. I like to apply it all over to where the sun would naturally hit and then deepen it into the hollows of my cheeks.
To finish off, I buff on NARS blusher in 'Orgasm' for a peachy pink flushed look on my cheeks. This blusher has a subtle gold shimmer running through it so adds to that radiant finish. I don't usually apply blusher all the way up my cheekbones, but with this product I like to use whatever is left on the brush and lightly apply it uptowards my cheekbones to amp up the glow.
Are you like me and love the dewy look no matter what time of year? What products do you like to use this season?
NARS Sheer Glow Founation, £31, here
NARS Laguna Bronzer, £27, here

Carter ♦ Pilgrim ♦ Stroud handles a vast array of legal issues you may be confronted with.
No! DUI cases are very complex and can carry significant penalties. Very few cases in the criminal justice system involve so many issues of fact, science, and opinion which in turn leaves a lot of room for question.
DUI cases are very fact intensive. The odor detected by the officer, the way the subject gets out of the vehicle, the performance on field sobriety evaluations and other manifestations that are noted by the officer provide a basis for establishing guilt. These facts are not always consistent with the theory of guilt to DUI. For instance, bloodshot eyes can be caused by alcohol consumption; however, they can also be caused by lack of sleep or being around smoke. The odor of an alcoholic beverage, if strong, can indicate how much the person has had to drink; however, it can also merely indicate recent use or that the beverage is one with a stronger smell. Thus, facts are not always as clear cut as one may think.
Further, any well trained officer will perform field sobriety evaluations. These evaluations are standardized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a lot of testing has gone into validating these "tests" which creates a scientific component. Visit the field sobriety portion of our site to learn more about the types of field sobriety evaluations used. Mediocre or poor performance on field sobriety evaluations do not always indicate that the person is impaired by alcohol to the extent that they are less safe to drive. First, environmental and personal factors have a direct correlation to field sobriety performance. Extreme heat or cold, the subject's age/weight, or physiological characteristics (poor balance or medical issues) can all have an impact on an individual's performance on field sobriety. Finally, given the fact that these evaluations are standardized, there are very specific requirements the officer must follow in administering these evaluations. Failure to comply with these standards compromise the results subjecting them to attack. An attorney, like Phil Pilgrim, who has been trained in standardized field sobriety and once taught law enforcement on those standards can locate these errors and use them to his client's advantage. It should be noted that this is also true for blood and breath test cases. Just because you blew "over the limit" does not mean that your case cannot be fought. These machines malfunction, protocol is not followed, and standards are not kept on a very consistent basis. Science can work against them.
Finally, all of those facts and science are taken into consideration by the arresting officer in formulating an opinion as to the subject's ability to drive. DUI cases are the only types of cases that a witness can testify to the "ultimate issue." What that means is the officer can give an opinion as to whether or not they believe you were guilty of violating the law. In any other case tried before a jury, a witness cannot opine as to whether they think you are guilty…DUI cases are the only circumstance in the criminal justice system where this is allowed. However, remember, an opinion is just that…it's only an opinion.
So, the short answer is yes, you absolutely should hire a lawyer. As noted above, FACTS, SCIENCE, and OPINION in these types of cases are very much up for dispute and subject to a lot of interpretation. Hiring a skilled Gwinett County DUI lawyer like Phil Pilgrim puts you in the best position to get the best result possible.

Ditching letter grades for a 'window' into the classroom
Emanuella Grinberg | 4/8/2014, 9:04 a.m.
CNN Krista Wolfram might be out running errands or in the pickup line at her daughter's school when the alert appears on her smartphone.
Sometimes, it's a picture from 7-year-old Serenity's writing journal, with a line or two of feedback from her teacher; or, it could be a video of Serenity singing in music class.
The messages come at least once a week, sometimes more, and provide Wolfram with more than just a brag book of images. It's real-time insight into her daughter's learning, enabling her to think ahead about how she can help Serenity at home.
The messages started going out to some parents at Georges Vanier Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, in fall 2013 as part of a pilot program. The school wants to make communication between parents and teachers more detailed, frequent and collaborative.
Because Wolfram is getting frequent updates about her daughter's educational highs and lows, there are no surprises come report card time. Eventually, the district is hoping to phase out periodic report cards in favor of regular, descriptive communication and a year-end summary or portfolio review, Surrey school district Superintendent Jordan Tinney said.
"We're trying to boil it down to what do parents really want and need to know about a child's progress in school? How can we give parents a window into class?" Tinney said.
"We believe traditional report cards are highly ineffective in communicating to parents where their children are in learning. If we can communicate this learning routinely to parents, then we see the need for report cards and the stamp of letter grade going way down."
Schools around North America are trying to replace traditional report card grids of letters and numbers with descriptive feedback about students' mastery of topics. Rather than a series of cumulative scores in each subject based on a mashup of tests, homework, extra credit and behavior, schools are trying to show how well students understand core concepts -- and involve parents more in the process.
In the education world, it's often called standards-based grading. It's become the norm at most elementary schools, and it's gaining momentum at the secondary level.
Still, it can be a struggle for parents who remember their own semester report cards and the easy comparisons made between As, Bs and Cs or number scales. Others, like Wolfram, like the change.
"It's been helping me feel like I'm more connected to my daughter and her classroom," Wolfram said. "By visually seeing my child's work, I can see what the teacher means by 'She's not writing enough,' and work with the teacher to fix the problem."
Separating achievement from behavior
The philosophy behind standards-based grading is generally consistent from school to school, but it can look a lot different in practice.
At Georges Vanier and other Surrey elementary schools, it means abandoning letter grades for a color-coded sliding scale with cues like "approaching expectations" and "meeting expectations." Nearby elementary schools serving the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows communities rank student comprehension as "emerging," "developing" or "applying," and hold "student-led," in-person reporting conferences twice a year instead of sending home formal report cards.
