What causes schistosomiasis?
Parasites of the genus Schistosoma (S. mansoni, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. hematobium, and S. japonicum) cause the disease. The disease in humans is part of the complicated life cycle of the parasites that is illustrated in the figure below. Humans enter freshwater areas that contain snails that grow Schistosoma sporocysts that develop into free-swimming cercariae. The cercariae can attach to and penetrate the human skin, migrate to blood vessels, and through lung blood capillaries reach the portal blood or vesicular (bladder) blood systems. During this migration, the cercariae change and develop from schistosomula into male and female adult parasitic worms. The worms incorporate human proteins into their surface structures, so most humans produce little or no immune response to the parasites. After parasite mating occurs in the portal or vesicular blood system, egg production occurs. In contrast to the adult parasites, the parasite's eggs stimulate a strong immune response by most humans. Some eggs migrate through the bowel or bladder tissue and are shed in feces or urine, while other eggs are swept into the portal blood and lodge in other tissue sites. Eggs shed into urine or feces may reach maturity in freshwater and complete their life cycle by infecting susceptible snails. In addition, some adult worms may migrate to other organs (for example, eyes or liver). This life cycle is further complicated by S. japonicum species that may also infect domesticated and wild animals, which can then serve as another host system. S. hematobium is the species that usually infects the human bladder tissue, while the other species usually infect the bowel tissue.
The acute and chronic symptoms of schistosomiasis are thought to be mainly due to the egg migration through tissue and the human immune response to the eggs. Chronic symptoms are mainly due to eggs that are not shed from the body. Complications (for example, hepatomegaly or enlarged liver and bladder cancer) related to the disease are thought to occur due to long-term exposure to the highly antigenic eggs.

Hardin County sits on the western edge of a winter weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service because of an approaching snowstorm.
The heaviest snowfall of the season could drop 1 to 4 inches locally, the weather service said. More dramatic totals are expected across the Midwest today and move east but forecasters see the U.S. 31E corridor as the alert line.
Rain is expected much of today with snow ushered in by cooler temperatures tonight. Some bands of moderate to heavy snow could develop, the NWS advisory said, as accumulation continues overnight into Wednesday morning.
The advisory, which also includes LaRue, Nelson, Meade, Breckinridge and counties to the east, is scheduled to continue through 1 p.m. Wednesday.

text: If I recall, we mixed up our defensive looks in Games 6 and 7, which had Lebron leaning heavily on his teammates to hit open looks, which they didn't. Last night was more of the same. The Low was pissed during chat that we were running 3 men at LBJ, but you cannot allow him to dribble penetrate or it's death by dunkfest. You have to play the slow patient game of making him pass and his teammates shoot themselves out of it. Until they develop a consistent second option to break up the double teams on LBJ, they will not go far.

Most recommendations come from recruiters or employees of these online organizations. How can a student make a well informed decision on choosing the best online certificate? I am not interested in reading non-biased reviews of these online schools b/c in my opinion there are not enough reviews to make a decision anyway. So, how does a potential student know what the accreditations mean? Almost every online course has different accreditations. This alone is overwhelming! So, if someone on this forum can't recommend an online certificate then can someone tell me what online certificate to avoid? I would be happy to hear anyone's recommendations!
Lucas wrote:Canada has one of the biggest ESL industries in the world, where thousands of international students come every year, and teachers must be well-qualified to teach here. Anybody who can teach here can do so in the best paying schools in Europe, Australia, Dubai, and Hong Kong as many of our graduates from Canada, the UK, and the USA are currently doing so. We work with recrutiers from North America and get contacted on a weekly basis by Asian recrutiers although we prefer not to use them for our job placement service, but you can tell these lazy recruiters you mention to do more research so they can provide their schools with better teachers.
If by that you mean me, in Thailand, irrtum. A genuine, well qualified TEFLer (probably not a backpacker seeking a short paid vacation), can expect a salary of up to £20,000 p.a. that's more than a lot of people earn in the UK. Taking into account that the cost of living here is also only one-third of the UK, a serious teacher can live like a king, buy a car, and have a nice house built. All for cash.Lucas wrote:You're also working in one of the lowest paying countries in the world...
systematic wrote:It's interesting to note however, that out of the nearly 10,000 job applications I have vetted over the last 6 years, not one was accompanied by a certificate from your organisation in one of the "biggest TEFL industries in the world".
You read all the reports on this board about the different courses, and you read all about the accreditations.You weigh it all up very carefully, then you draw your own conclusions. In doing so , check out the quality of their webs sites. If they are full of sales hype or are obviously trying too hard to attract punters, consider delving deeper or avoiding them completely. Take a good squint at the websites that look too clean, uncluttered, and professional. Avoid the ones that won't disclose the course fee until you have 'signed on' for more free information. Check out the ones that appear to be the largest worldwide with dozens of branches, and see if all their toll free numbers all reroute to the same call centre. Take a careful look at the ones whose prices are considerably above or considerably below those of the majority of the competition. QAnd then add a pinch of common sense :)yoshi wrote: So, how does a potential student know what the accreditations mean?
I haven't written that computer programme yet, but one thing you can be sure of: it wasn't Canada. The other thing you can be sure of is that we get sufficient applications from teachers with previous experience, that we rarely, if ever, have to employ anyone direct from TESOL school whether online or otherwise. Thus as one recruiter (or school owner) remarked, what their TSOL certificates are and where they were obtained is not one of the major criteria.yoshi wrote:Since you have seen lots of job applications, then where have most of the students earned their online certificate?

Mikel Arteta believes a key factor behind Arsenal's victory in Montpellier on Tuesday night was their ability to stay calm under pressure.
Goals from Lukas Podolski and Gervinho helped the Gunners come back from one goal down in their opening Champions League Group B game to claim the three points.
But Arsène Wenger's side were put under intense pressure in the second half, and had to work overtime to secure the result at the Stade de la Mosson.
"We knew it was going to be tough, they were champions in France last year and that is no coincidence," Arteta told Arsenal Player.
"They work really hard, they have some talented players and scored the first one at home, which means it is always difficult to get back into the game.
"But we scored two brilliant goals and managed to get the result - it was vital for us to get the first three points away from home.
"You can't panic, we knew in the last 25 minutes they were going to throw some bodies up front and create some problems. They missed a clear chance at the end but I am so glad to get the points, it is a brilliant way to start."
Arsenal now travel to Manchester City on Sunday and Arteta hopes the team can maintain the momentum generated after three successive victories.
"It is going to be tough, City have not lost at home for a long time," he said. "It is big test, [we must] show our character. Last year we went there and were unlucky to lose. It will be tough, but they are the champions."
Watch the full interview with Mikel on Arsenal Player now.

The University of North Carolina baseball program boasts one of the finest facilities in all of collegiate baseball home after the completion of the state-of-the-art Boshamer Stadium in 2009. The completely new facility, built within the same footprint as the old Boshamer Stadium, brings incredible upgrades to the program, and the changes allow Tar Heel student-athletes to compete at the highest level in an atmosphere unlike any other venue in collegiate baseball.
Located on Ridge Road in the heart of the Carolina campus, the site of Boshamer Stadium has been the home of the Diamond Heels since the late 1960s when Emerson Field was razed due to University expansion. Ground was broken on the new stadium in October 2007, and the team moved into its brand-new home in February 2009. The original Boshamer was opened in 1972 and hosted five Atlantic Coast Conference Tournaments, as well as NCAA regionals in 1983, 2006 and 2007. The Tar Heels closed "The Bosh" in style with a Super Regional victory over South Carolina in 2007 to advance to the program's sixth College World Series.
The Tar Heels have hosted four regionals – 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 - and a trio of super regionals - 2009, 2011 and 2013 - at Boshamer Stadium since the renovation was completed prior to the 2009 season. Boshamer Stadium was a gift from 1917 Carolina graduate and textile industrialist Cary C. Boshamer of Gastonia, N.C. The playing surface at the new facility - Bryson Field - honors former letterwinner Vaughn Bryson and his wife Nancy, both 1960 graduates of the UNC School of Pharmacy. The Brysons are long-time supporters of the baseball program and the University.
Vaughn Bryson along with several other Diamond Heel supporters helped fund the addition of a new video board beyond the left field wall. The project built one of the largest video boards in college baseball as the video board was upgraded to 14 feet 8 inches tall by 47 feet 3 inches wide with a resolution of 224 by 720.
Additional construction improvements to Boshamer Stadium began in 2016. The latest project, which will create an additional 1,300 square feet of usable space for the Carolina baseball program on the first-base side of the facility, was funded by former players who have gone on to play professional baseball and other donors.
Highlights of the project include the addition of multi-use space that can serve as a visitor's locker room, provide programming space during regular season and postseason play, such as pregame and postgame dining space, a second locker room, team meeting and study areas, as well as new locker room space for umpires and former players who choose to workout in Chapel Hill during the offseason.
Boshamer Stadium has a listed capacity of 4,100 with room for overflow crowds of more than 5,000. There is chairback seating throughout the facility, and fans enjoy clean sightlines throughout the seating bowl, a wider concourse and vastly improved restroom, concession and merchandise facilities. The concourse level also features a Hall of Honor space on the third base line that offers stunning views of the action. Additionally, ten picnic tables will be scattered throughout the facility, and a small grass area, reminiscent of the grassy bank at the old stadium, is located on the first base line.
A new stadium entrance, featuring Steinbrenner Family Courtyard, creates a scenic gateway to the ballpark. While Tar Heel fans will certainly enjoy the improvements, the Carolina team will have scores of state-of-the-art amenities at their disposal as they continue to build one of the top programs in college baseball. The new facility, which is located just 25 feet from Avery Dorm, where most players reside, houses a 2,450-square foot clubhouse complete with a sparkling locker room dressing area, equipment room, meeting rooms, a study hall area and a players' lounge that features two massive flat screen televisions, pool and ping pong tables and an Xbox video game system. There are 35 flat screen TVs throughout the facility.
Players also have access to a video room with the most complete individual computer analysis software. In the video room, the Tar Heels can view footage from every practice, scrimmage, at-bat and pitch. The stadium features three permanently mounted cameras that record all the action from a different angle. Additionally, there is wireless internet access throughout the clubhouse. An area for pregame and postgame meals is also included in the clubhouse area. Carolina baseball student-athletes also have access to a 2,850-square foot weight room with an adjacent training room that includes a hydro-therapy center with hot and cold plunge pools, as well as an office for the baseball training staff. Also connected to the clubhouse is a covered indoor/outdoor hitting and pitching practice facility. This 6,200-square foot climate controlled, Astroturf area has space for three batting cages, three pitching machines, a soft toss and batting tee station and a pitching area with three dirt pitching mounds. The pitching machines located behind each mound will be available to players at all times. The building can also be used for infield work.
The indoor facility is well lit with skylights and has three garage doors - that can open automatically - on one side of the facility for fresh air and sunlight. It sits just 20 yards from the locker room and is accessible via a hallway for players on rainy days without going outside. The playing surface of the new Bryson Field was also upgraded. Changes include a new infield playing surface, new grass, new irrigation and drainage systems, padded outfield walls and a new batters' eye. The drainage system is state-of-the-art and is capable of handling upwards of 15 inches of rain per hour. New Astroturf bullpens, located off the field, were also installed, as was a 10-foot rubberized warning track around the outside of the playing field. A brick wall behind home plate and down each line adds to the classic look of the ballpark. Both dugouts are 75 feet long and completed with padded benches and cubbies for each player. The dugouts feature a poured rubber floor with camera wells on each end.
The stadium also features a new lighting system that exceeds AAA minor league standards and is on par with the finest professional stadiums. The dimensions of the playing field are 335 feet down the left field line, 370 to left center, 400 to center field, 355 to right center and 340 down the right field line.
In addition to the clubhouse area, playing surface and seating bowl, the upper deck was significantly upgraded to join the elite facilities in college baseball. Housed down the third base line are offices for the Carolina coaches and staff along with a reception area. Each office features a view of the stadium, as well as a balcony that overlooks the field. Just off the coaches' office area is an 800-square foot patio facing the front of the stadium and Ridge Road. This spot is ideal for entertaining and is available for cookouts and meals on both game days and for football games in the fall.
Adjacent to the offices is the main press box, which features two-tiered seating to accommodate the print media. Also included in the press area are a fully equipped television booth and two radio booths. This level also features seven suites complete with a kitchen area, indoor stools and seating in front overlooking the playing surface. Four outdoor suites down the right field line with tables and umbrellas are also available for lease.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark announced Friday the addition of three student-athletes to the men's roster. Current Vol football players Rajion Neal and Devrin Young have joined the sprint corps, and freshman Antonio Carter will run the 800 and 400 meters for the Big Orange.
Neal is with the team this weekend and will begin competition at the Akron Invitational on Saturday. He is expected to run in the 60-meter dash prelims at 12:30 p.m. Young is not on the travel squad this weekend, and Carter is redshirting indoors and won't make his college debut until the outdoor campaign.
"We are happy to announce these late additions to our track & field team that contribute strength and depth to key areas for us," Clark said. "Rajion and Devrin will provide additional speed to our sprint group and depth to our relay teams. I look forward to seeing them develop and try to help us on the track this season.
"Antonio has a bright future with us as an 800- and 400-meter runner and with our 4x400m relay. He won't run indoors for us, but I do look forward to seeing him get going during the outdoor campaign."
Neal, a 5-11, 210-pound sophomore hails from Fayetteville Ga., and Sandy Creek High School. He had no high school track & field experience, but his speed is impressive. He has been auto-timed at 4.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
On the gridiron for the Big Orange, Neal saw action in 11 games while playing receiver, tailback and Wildcat quarterback in 2011. He had 13 catches for 269 yards and carried 27 times for 134 yards and three touchdowns, finishing fourth on the team in receiving yards. Neal posted his first 100-yard receiving game in the season finale vs. Kentucky, hauling in four passes for 125 yards. Included in that total was a 53-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.
Young, a graduate of Knoxville's Bearden High School, was the 2010 runner-up at the Tennessee AAA State Track & Field Championships with a readout of 10.76 seconds in the 100-meter dash. His best time, though, was a barely wind-aided 10.70 effort in the prelims. He also took sixth in the 200 at 22.38 that season after running a career best of 22.11 in the prelims. Because of his focus on football, he saw limited action on the track for the Bulldogs in 2011.
As a first-year member of the Vol football team, the 5-foot-8, 165-pound Young overcame a fractured right collarbone in late July to aid the squad as a return specialist and situational offensive player. In nine games, he finished third on the team in all-purpose yardage with 756 and was second best for per game average with 84.0. He returned 27 kickoffs for 628 yards, which ranks fifth in UT history, and handled eight punts for 94 yards.
Carter, meanwhile, is a native of Lithonia, Ga., and a graduate of Miller Grove High School. He is a three-time AAU All-American, having earned acclaim in the 800m, 1500m and 4x400m relay with the Track Phi Track club team. A four-time state class AAAA individual scorer, he was runner-up in the 800m and 1600m in 2010, fourth in the 800m in 2011 and sixth in the 800m in 2009. His career bests include 48.95 in the 400m, 1:53.46 in the 800m and 4:00.93 in the 1500m outdoors, and 1:58.90 in the 800m indoors.

Meticulously reimagined, the Avalon's exterior exudes a sophisticated confidence others only aspire to. Its sculpted lines and curves create a stunning profile. While the redesigned grille and stylish new available LED headlights make it more striking than ever.
At night you'll truly shine with available LED (light-emitting diode) headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that switch on and off automatically.
The attention-grabbing redesigned grille with chrome accents gives Avalon an unmistakable look.
A complement to the already stylish exterior, the available 18-in. dark gray painted alloy wheels take Avalon Touring to the next level.
Leave ordinary behind with integrated dual chrome-tipped exhaust with chrome-accented cover.
Darkness never had a chance. Avalon's standard smoked LED taillights create a look that is as powerful as it is efficient.
Avalon has a fully independent suspension with a stabilizer bar for a smoother, more comfortable ride. And Touring's unique suspension adapts to the road for a more dynamic driving experience.
Underneath the chassis, specially shaped diffuser panels reduce turbulence, resulting in enhanced control and reduced wind noise.
Step on the gas and feel the rush of the 3.5-liter V6 powered by 268 hp and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. Even with all this power, the engine is still incredibly efficient with an EPA-estimated 31 mpg highway and Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) certification.
A true driver's car inspired by racing—available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters provide for a more hands-on driving experience by letting you control when you shift and matching each rev for seamless downshifts.
Avalon's Sport Mode increases throttle response and quickens the Electric Power Steering (EPS) for livelier handling when desired.
Avalon offers a choice of two steering modes: Normal, for everyday driving; and Sport, for when the road begins to twist. It's all about a more connected driving experience.
Avalon's standard leather-trimmed seats, soft-touch materials and French stitching add up to an environment that feels as if it was made just for you. Subtle design touches make sure that the interior of Avalon stands out.
Avalon's cockpit is tailored to you, the driver. Its available 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat is a near-custom fit. It also features an available power seat extension for added leg support. Avalon Limited adds Black perforated leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats for added comfort.
Your rear-seat passengers ride in comfort as well. The spacious available heated rear seats of Avalon offers plenty of leg room thanks to a near-flat rear floor.
Ambient lighting throughout the cabin of Avalon Limited lends a touch of warmth and elegance and also makes it easier to locate frequently used items like cup holders and door pulls when it's dark.
When you step inside Avalon, you turn off the world around you. An acoustic noise-reducing windshield and driver and front-passenger side windows soundproof the cabin, creating a quiet retreat.
A luxurious ride for everyone: Avalon Limited is equipped with a power rear sunshade to help keep rear-seat passengers cool and comfortable when the sun is at full strength.
Avalon's MID shows you everything you need to know. See how much fuel you have left, check your current mpg and, on Avalon Limited, get turn-by-turn directions to your favorite spot—all on one display.

At your beck and call is Avalon's standard touch-screen. Use the touch-screen controls to access available navigation, your connected smartphone and even the local weather.
The backup camera with available projected path helps guide you into or out of tight spots with ease. The camera guides you by showing what the camera sees on the touch-screen display.
The available three-zone automatic climate control allows a custom level of comfort. Rear passengers can adjust the air temperature for the rear seats without affecting the front, which ensures maximum comfort for everyone traveling. Only found in Limited as standard equipment.
Technology should simplify, not complicate. Avalon is equipped with Intelligent Touch capacitive controls for the audio systems and climate control. These sleek, low-profile controls allow the driver to adjust the environment in Avalon with ease.
The available Entune™ Premium JBL® Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite on Avalon Limited offers a concert-hall experience with 11 JBL® GreenEdge™ speakers in nine locations, including a subwoofer and amplifier. This is the sound of luxury.
When you're within a few feet of your Avalon with the Smart Key fob in your pocket or purse, the interior lights will automatically turn on, the front doors* and trunk can be opened with a touch of a door handle, and once you're inside, the engine can be started and stopped with the push of the start/stop button. *Only the driver's door unlocks on the XLE.
While you can't control the weather, this might be the next best thing. Avalon's available rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust to match the amount of rain hitting the windshield and the speed of the car. Just set the wipers to "auto," and Avalon does the rest.
Our Hybrid Synergy Drive® system and Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) combine for fuel-economy efficiency and the performance you love. Driving a full-size sedan doesn't mean you can't have full-size savings.
Avalon Hybrid offers a choice of Sport, ECO and EV Modes. At the same time, it has an EPA-estimated 40 mpg combined and carries a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) emission rating.

An audible beeping sound and indicator light on the instrument panel will flash so that you can then take corrective action.
Available on Avalon Limited, the Auto High Beams (AHB) feature helps enhance visibility when driving at night. The system is designed to detect oncoming vehicles as far away as 2000 feet and, depending on the circumstances, automatically switches the high beams off, making it easier for other drivers on the road, and then switches them on when it clears.
Available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) automatically adjusts vehicle speed to help maintain a preset following distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you.
Avalon comes standard with a total of ten airbags, including a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, rear seat-mounted side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags.
The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) helps identify vehicles that you may not see when changing lanes or backing out of a parking space by illuminating a warning signal on the correct outside mirror.
Avalon comes standard with the Star Safety System™, a suite of six advanced safety features designed to help keep you out of harm's way. The system includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brake System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution,
Avalon's front seats are engineered to yield in a controlled manner in certain rear-end collisions, helping to reduce the risk of neck injuries.
With available Safety Connect®, emergency Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Locator and Automatic Collision Notification are available when you need them through Toyota's 24/7 call center.

text: I know we've had threads like this in past years, but why not start fresh with the latest crop of Christmas CDs? My collection continues to grow each year, so I'm always interested in recommendations from others. The ones I tend to play again and again are: Kenny Chesney - island themed, with his fabulous voice and some fun duets Dean Martin - there are several of them out there, but to me "Baby It's Cold Outside" = Christmas Doris Day - can't beat her vocal interpretations IMO, I can listen to her forever Rosemary Clooney - one of many, has that gathered-round-the-piano feel Ella Fitzgerald's Swingin' Christmas - I recall this one on many lists Jethro Tull - the flute and his sort of mystical English sound lends itself well to Christmas and winter songs - it's surprisingly good! Christmas Cocktails - part of a series that was popular a few years back - perfect for drinks with friends, very upbeat And I confess I bought Justin Bieber's CD. And a I kinda like it. The only fail for me is "Little Drummer Boy" - he plays drums, which I was looking forward to, but then turns it into a rap, which didn't work for me. For contemporary Christmas CDs, Destiny's Child from a few years back remains a better choice. Kelly Clarkson really needs to do a Christmas CD, as does Carrie Underwood - surprised they haven't already - or did I somehow miss them? I picked up an older one of Reba's for a dollar, but sadly there is a lot of talking/storytelling on it, which IMO takes away from the music.

When Ulker Copur was a graduate student at the University of Oregon, she developed a passion for planting trees on her campus. Now, three decades later as an architecture professor at RWU, she has combined her enthusiasm for environmental stewardship with an expertise in architecture and urban planning to instill the value of sustainability in a new generation of students.
To familiarize students with the social, cultural, ecological and technological aspects of sustainable architecture, Professor Copur began teaching a course called Sustainable Paradigms in 2001. Students prepare case studies of local buildings and make design recommendations on how to reduce energy consumption and water runoff. Professor Copur makes the student projects accessible to anyone who'd like to see them because, she says, it's important to educate others about the importance of going green – and how easy it can be.
It requires a lifestyle change and a bit of sacrifice, she says, but it can be done. She now walks to work and uses public transportation as often as is possible. She has studied roof gardens in Germany and in 2006 helped to develop a master plan for a small town in her native Turkey that is at high risk for earthquakes.
More recently, Professor Copur lent her experience to the Campus Master Planning Committee for RWU 2020, working to preserve the green lawn next to the main entrance along the way – an accomplishment of which she is quite proud. "Things don't need to be done all at once," she says. "But at least we can contribute. We've been taking a lot of green land, but we can give back to nature too. What we take, we can give."

Severe Thunderstorms in New South Wales
Thunderstorms range in intensity from those that bring cooling rain after a scorching summer's day, to severe storms so powerful that large trees and sometimes houses cannot stand in their path. One such storm occurred in Sydney's eastern and city suburbs on the evening of 14 April 1999, producing massive hailstones of at least 9cm diameter and resulting in insurance losses of around $1.5 Billion in less than one hour. This is the most costly natural disaster (in dollar terms) so far in Australian history. Each year on average, several people die and over $100 million damage is caused, as a result of severe thunderstorm activity in NSW and the ACT.
The Severe Thunderstorm Warning Service is one of the Bureau of Meteorology's highest priority programs and operates to minimise the loss of life, property damage and community disruption generated by severe storms. This site explains the operation of the Severe Thunderstorm Warning Service in NSW and the ACT, provides details on when these storms are most likely occur, descriptions of recent storm events and links to the latest warning and outlook information.�

The Health minor offers students the opportunity to explore the field of health from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Students in the Health Minor gain knowledge of the biological aspects of health with course choices in genetics, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, infectious diseases, epidemiology, and alternative medicine. You'll integrate an understanding of social issues related to health through courses such as Women and Health; Health in the Developing World; Health, Illness, and Society; and Environment and Health. The Health Minor complements a variety of majors — from education and business to psychology, creative writing, global studies, and applied therapies. Explore and work on health issues via travel study and study abroad experiences in remote tropical environments, such as Guyana.
Review the requirements for a Minor in Health.
This course provides an introduction to complementary and alternative medicine and the treatment modalities that are increasingly being used by Americans. Students will explore the conceptual differences between the biomedical approach and alternative systems of healthcare, some of which are being used in conjunction with allopathic medicine by conventional medical practitioners. Topics will include but are not limited to mind-body interventions, biologically based treatments, and energy based therapies.
This course is designed to explore and analyze selected topics in health that affect women's lives from adolescence through old age. It places women's health issues in context with their individual biological and psychosocial development, their family roles, and their roles in the larger society. The multicultural focus is on differences women in the United States experience due to race/ethnicity and sociocultural differences. Obstacles to optimum health for minority women in the United States are examined.

Greetings to the TEFL community!
I'm new to the boards here, so I do apologise if I have placed this thread in the wrong forum. I couldn't determine what forum was the most appropriate for my status!
I'm on track to finishing a law degree in Queensland, Australia. Becoming quite tired of law, I sought advice from friends and family as to what direction I should launch my career upon graduation. My only goal in life is to travel the world a thousand times over, slowly moving from one country to the next while learning all the local cultures and customs. One intriguing individual mentioned that I should consider teaching English as a foreign language.
With excitement, I began scouring the internet for any tidbit of information I could find. However, I am completely overwhelmed by the sheer number acronyms, training organisations, qualifications, policies and procedures relevant to teaching overseas. So I decided to throw my situation out in to the knowledge base that is TEFL. Here's my situation:
1. I'm on track to graduation, which should give me the degree required for a lot of teaching positions.
2. I have no idea what qualifications to get; TESOL, TEFL, MAs, Certificates, Short Courses, Hours Requirements, CELTA, DELTA etc.
3. No corner of the globe is boring to me; I have particular emphasis on the European Union and the United States.
4. I would like to get experience in Australia before going overseas, as to strengthen my application.
I know each country normally has different requirements, however I thought I would ask the forum as I'm sure there are hundreds of companies that hand out meaningless certificates. I have identified this as my innermost passion, and I'm willing to spend every last dollar I can get my hands on. I just want to know where to start.
If anyone has any insight to any or all of my issues, please feel free to comment of PM me. Otherwise, I'd even be happy with a URL to some place that may offer some sort of assistance.
Thank-you for helping me embark on my journey towards my dream job!

Water in a frog viv
I'm going to be getting a couple dendro. azureus in the next week or so and I have a 10 gallon tank setup for them, but I'm already planning how to turn my 40 breeder into a nice habitat for them. I would love to have a water area that is big enough to possibly have some micro fish in, but I've been told not to have deep water in the tank or the frogs could fall in and drown. Is that accurate? I saw in another thread some pictures of nice frog vivs with large pools and waterfalls, so I am wondering if I could have a pool afterall.
Interesting Question that I would like to know as well. It seems to me that having small bodies of water be they deep or shallow would be a natural occurrence in their native habitat, the amazon, there are plenty of pools and riverlettes all over the place. In fact the whole of the amazon is flooded for several months during the springs floods if I'm not mistaken.:)
I don't know about the drowning frogs. But if you make a false bottom in the tank you can keep the water pretty shallow and still have pretty decent water volume and swimming space for the fish.
Don't frogs know how to swim? I mean, so long as I left them ways to get *out* of the water if they fell in, you would think they'd figure it out, right?
When i was planning my 125 paludarium, i did a ridiculous amount of research because i was going to put dendrobates leucomelas in it. I could not find one documented case of a drowning frog. I decided to put white's tree frogs in it only due to the fact that the plants matched their habitat better. And my frogs LOVE the water!!! I have heard similar from people about darts. In fact i remember one thread where the guy's d. Azureus would actually swim from one side of the tank to the other, under water. I trust 40 million years of evolution. They come from the water as tads, you would think that that trait would be carried onto the morphed frog. The only case i could find of a frog drowning was a guy who "claimed" one of his females sat on another female and held her under water and drowned her as a territorial dispute. He never actually saw it, just found the frog in the shallow water. Is it possible to drown a frog? Most likely, but it's like drowning a dolphin, it's possible, but it ain't easy.......lol i would imagine it would take quite some time to drown a frog. Just leave plenty of areas for them to exit the water and they should be fine.
I ran several dart tanks with 8 inches of water in the past and never drowned an adult frog. I also ran guppies in with them. Only thing I will caution you against is strong flow. Darts are not great swimmers although I have seen them do it. A gentle flow is the max. I used a small pump that basically bubbled up through a small sponge covered in moss. This way they never ahd to worry about getting swept in or around under the water.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The new cam and lifters will quickly pay for themselves in fuel savings and fix the problem, unless Monster is right and you missed a valve spring. When you pull the cam out, try a dial caliper both ways, on each lobe. Subtract the minimum reading from the maximum, multiply by 1.5 to the get approximate lift. I don't expect two of the holes to be exactly the same. A old smallblock cam is like having eight different cams in one; with each cylinder programmed and directed to do something a bit different from the rest.
Side note.. 7 years ago we tore down a 283 that everyone in town thought was a strong 327. Not only was it a 283 but had never been opened up and worn completely out in every way. The cam was the worst I'd ever seen come out of anything that wasn't skipping. most lobes rounded off but all still lifting at least some. No telling what kind of timing or had or lift, but it was an outrageous tire spinner. A 67 short bed 3 speed and was geared very low. Doesn't take a lot of lift to achieve bottom end torque but I'll never forget how bad that cam looked and how impressive a burnout it did the day before we took it down. Strange thing, but results not typical. I like a new cam
|Maybe a broken valve spring.
|no i ddint put a new cam in and i checked and seen that the lifter was still coming up when i crank the engine over, so its not a bad cam. and im pulling the engine out and gonna chevk it out
|27 t
|did you install a new cam? what brand... but more than likely lost a cam lob. lifter may have worn down to the point it has a hole in the bottom of it and is bleeding oil out.. i would say pull the intake...
SBC Collapsed lifter, or something else???
i have a 1972 gmc pick-up with a 350. I had driven the truck for atleast 500 miles with no prblems, then i started hearing a slight ticking sound, and at first thought it was just a hedder leak, so i checked the header gaskets and there was no problems. i continued to drive the truck for another day, and then it sat for about 2 weeks and i started the truck up to move it and it had a severe ticking coming from under the valve cover, which seemed like around number 5 cylinder and you could hear it clearly in the exhaust too. so i pulled the valve cover and i found that the intake rocker arm on cylinder 5 was way loose, i checked the rocker nut and it was tight, i checked the stud to make sure it hadnt pulled out, and i also checked the pushrod to see if it was bent and it wasnt. the pushrod does have i higher wear line on the lifter end than the exhaust rushrod on that cylinder. so i was wondering if this sounds like a collapsed lifter or maybe a bad cam, or just something more simple.

An institutional accrediting body evaluates an entire institution in terms of its mission and accredits the institution as a whole. This body reviews more than the educational offerings of the institution; it also assesses such characteristics as governance and administration, financial condition, admissions and student personnel processes, institutional resources, and relationships with outside communities.
The Higher Learning Commission is part of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Association is a not-for-profit, voluntary, membership organization that was founded in 1895 for educational institutions. The Association is one of six regional institutional accrediting associations in the United States. Through its Commissions it accredits, and thereby grants membership to, educational institutions in the 19-state North Central region. The 19 states it serves include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming - and Department of Defense Schools and Navajo Nation Schools.
The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, based in Chicago, accredits degree-granting institutions of higher education. Its mission is:

Does anyone know what type of helmet this is? I bought it off of ebay for $150 because it looked decent.
Does anyone know what type of helmet this is? I bought it off of ebay for $150 because it looked decent.
I'm not an authority, but for the folks who are, you may want to take pics at multiple angles, and maybe some in daylight. Also, check out the Star Wars Helmet site.
Well I actually haven't got the helmet yet these are pics from the ebay auction. As soon as I get the helmet (which should be tomorrow) I will get some more pics.
That looks like a Don Post that's been repainted and had the visor replaced. That's just my guess....
That's a Boba Fett helmet.
Looks like a possible DP
The visor looks odd at the bottom, like someone just applied window tint over it
In The Don Post deluxe, the T-Visor is kind of flush to the outer surface...similar to the one in your photo. Thats likely what you have, unless the old cheap Don Posts are selling for $150 these days...which would surprise me.
paint job kind of reminds me of something that used to be on ebay all the time years ago, possibly something from Starfortress like a recast of the DP statue. My eye isn't that good though, someone else can probably spot the tells better.
What's it made out of?
I don't know what the helmet is made of and I most likely won't find out. The person who I bought it from hasn't even shipped it yet. The tracking number I got was for a grill cover my grandparents ordered and they forgot about it. I am going to ask the guy for my money back. It is rediculous I bought the helmet 2 weeks ago and he hasn't even shipped.
The visor definitely has some sort of film over it ,you can see small specks poking out from behind,though most likely you would be replacing it anyway.
Yea the visor is going to be the first thing to go. Also does anyone know what type of RF would be a good one for this helmet.
It looks like a vinyl Don Post '96. It's definitely not a '95 because the visor sits too shallow. The dent and the ears are also a giveaway. As for the RF...well that depends on which version of helmet you are going to do. ESB and RotJ had different types.
looks like a DP to me.... only the visor has got wierd-ified

As I near the completion of my MB "old school" JP, I decided to add some "Great Stuff" (expanding foam) to the insides. Is it just me, or does this junk add THAT much extra weight? I was thinking about trimming some of it out.
Also, has anybody tred heating up the back plate to contour it to the curved shape on the JP before attaching it? I figured this would take some of the stress off of the adhesive and make less gaps on the outer seam.

Hi all,
I'm a 27 year old male looking for a totally new and exciting career and I truly believe teaching is the way to go for me.
I would absolutely love to teach (all ages), but I'm not really sure where to start. I have visited a variety of websites offering a million and one courses, such as TESOL, TEFL and so on, but ever time I look into it, I hit a brick wall an that is....
....I don't have a diploma/degree
The reason for not having one is Uni simply was not for me. Since I was 17 I have been working online as an Internet Marketing Consultant (all self taught).
I have looked at teaching jobs abroad and "most" I come across ask for some base degree, so my questions are....
1) What course should I do? (I'd like to teach English long-term)
2) Do I really need a degree to get a decent teaching job? (I have no intention of going to Uni at all)
....I am more than happy to work anywhere in the world. Latin America, Middle East, Europe and so on.
I look forward to your replies and thank you in advance.

Information For...
2008 Distinguished Alumnus
David A. Swinford
Member, Texas House of Representatives, District 87, Dumas, Texas
David Swinford never thought that he would attend college. He said he couldn't afford it. Luckily, he talked to Earl Gerstenberger, one of the original faculty members at South Plains College. Gerstenberger was able to help Swinford secure an agriculture scholarship to pay for college.
"He (Gerstenberger) was the best in the world," Swinford said. "I knew that I wanted to be a vocational agriculture teacher and I've never changed my mind."
A graduate of Frenship High School in Wolfforth, Swinford attended SPC from 1959-61 and received an associate of arts degree in agriculture. He transferred to Texas Tech University where he received a bachelor of sciences degree in agriculture education.
Swinford began his career working for Lindsey Seed Company in Lubbock. In 1967, he took a job as an assistant manager and grain accountant for Farmers Grain Company. He moved to Moore County Grain Company two years later where he was an assistant manager in charge of Moore County Feed, Seed and Fertilizer Co.
In 1975, he started Moore County Grain Handling Company and purchased Moore County Grain Co. With grain elevators in Dumas, Etter, Cactus, Abernathy, Lamesa, Exum and Machovec, his business became one of the largest independent grain companies in Texas.
Additionally, Swinford farmed two sections of irrigated wheat and corn at Shady Acres. He operated the farm for four years and developed it as one of the top farms in Moore County. During the late 1980s, he began the process of selling his grain facilities in Lamesa, Abernathy, Cactus, Exum and Machovec.
He then sold facilities in Dumas and Etter to Dumas Coop and later went to work for the coop as a marketing manager. In this capacity, he oversaw futures trading and contracting with producers and marketed grain to feed yards, feed mills and domestic and export companies.
In 2003, Swinford left Dumas Coop to form Ag-Plus Consulting, a company whose mission is to add value to agricultural commodities.
Swinford was elected to the Texas House of Representatives from District 88 in 1990 and re-elected from District 87 in 1992 after being paired in redistricting. Since then, he has served nine consecutive terms in the Texas House.
As a state legislator, Swinford served on the Agriculture and Livestock Committee from 1991 through 2003 and as chairman for two sessions. Swinford served three terms on the Appropriations Committee and one term on the Appropriations Conference Committee. He has served two terms on the County Affairs Committee. He became chairman of the Government Reform Committee in 2003 at the request of House Speaker Tom Craddick.
"It was a painful topic," Swinford said. "It seemed that year that we would be looking at a $5 billion deficit. To get out of that, we could either raise taxes or cut waste."
Swinford added that the committee members would meet daily to review the roles of governmental agencies. "Our goal was to identify duplicate services and to make sure agencies were only providing services they were specified to do or had the authority to do," he said.
In its work to make state government more efficient and cost effective, the Government Reform Committee has been credited with saving billions of dollars since 2003.
Swinford was appointed chairman of the House Committee on State Affairs for the 2005 and 2007 sessions. The committee drafted legislation that protects family values and addresses other important statewide issues. In 2007, this committee carried the Border Security and Immigration Bill.
"The State Affairs Committee is like the moral conscious of the state," Swinford said. "I believe parental rights are special and need to be protected. I believe in protecting marriage between a man and a woman. And, young girls should not have abortions without their parents' consent. These are issues that have been addressed by this committee."
For his hard work, leadership and contributions, Swinford has a lifetime membership with the Texas and National Future Farmers of America. He served as chairman of the Dumas FFA Booster Club. He is a member of the North Plains Red Raider Club. Swinford is a past director of the Dumas and Moore County Chamber of Commerce. He is a past president and trustee of the Moore County School Board and Moore County Livestock Association.
Swinford is a partner for life of Cal Farley's Boys Ranch. He has also served as drive chairman for the United Way. He served as building fund co-chairperson for the Memorial Nursing Home and Rehab Center in Dumas.
Swinford has received more than 55 awards for legislative service from a host of regional and statewide organizations. In this past legislative session, he was named the 2007 Legislator of the Year by the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, the Champion of Border Security by the Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition and the Fighter of Free Enterprise by the Texas Business Association. He has been honored by the Friends of 4-H, Texas Licensed Child Care Association, Panhandle Regional Planning Commission, Texas Rehabilitation Commission, Texas Future Farmers of America, Texas Extension Service, Texas Renewable Energy Industries Association, American Wind Power Association, Texas Right to Life Committee, Texas A&M University System, Texas Tech, West Texas A&M University and now South Plains College.
"I want young people to know that they don't have to go to a major university right out of high school," Swinford said. "They should go to a good community college to figure out what they want to do in life.
"South Plains College helped me a lot," he said. "I've always said that the curriculum in the community college was tougher than the four-year college. I received a great education and I've made good choices. That's what you take away from a community college."
Swinford and his wife, Joyce McCoy Swinford, are the parents of two children. Their son David is a minister, missionary and dean at Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock. Their daughter Melissa Bates is assistant director at the Dumas Campus of Amarillo College. They have four grandsons: Alan and Daniel Swinford and Phillip and William Bates.

Goodday everybody,
I'm off to China in a few months to teach English to Chinese teenagers. My concern is: is it possible to get relevant info across in English if their English level is Pre-/intermediate? Does anybody have experience with this? I've taught Spanish children before, and have occasionally had to translate into Spanish. To be honest, i'm stressing quite a bit about this (and everything, in general) since my Mandarin is as yet very limited. It'd be great if somebody could give me advice or tell me their experience.

Is there anything you can tell me about CloudEight Stationery?
I sure can! I was checking that out myself the other day and it's very cool. If you're into e-mail stationery, you're definitely going to want to check this out, so keep on reading!
Are you tired of the same old stationery choices your e-mail gives you? You know, Outlook Express has the "Citrus Punch" and the "Sunflower," but not all of those are very seasonal, are they? Most of those are better for the summertime. So, what about the fall and winter, etc? If you're hearing what I'm saying, then you should spice up your e-mails with CloudEight.
What is it, you ask? CloudEight Stationery is one of the most popular Web sites today that offers free e-mail stationery. CloudEight is designed specifically for Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook, so if you use either of those e-mail programs, you're all set!
You can use any of CloudEight's stationery by visiting their Web site. They have stationery for every occasion you could think of; from birthdays to anniversaries to all of the holidays. You'll always be able to find something for the special e-mails you want to send out. You can browse through their stationery library from the homepage. All of the categories are listed on the left hand side of the page, so just click on the link for the section you want to browse through. When you find one you like, you just need to download it to your computer so you can start using it.
Each stationery choice has its own page and there are directions for downloading on each of those. Just follow the directions and when you have that part done, you can insert your new stationery into your e-mails. How cool is that?!
To do so in Outlook Express, go to Message, New Message Using, Select Stationery. You can then browse for the one you downloaded from CloudEight and it will automatically create a new e-mail for you with that stationery added as the e-mail's background. For MS Outlook, go to Actions, New Mail Message Using, More Stationery and do the same thing. It's so simple! Here's an example of one I sent to another staff members here in the office for Halloween. It's a dancing skeleton and it even has music to go along with it. It's listed as "Halloween 2″ on CloudEight if you're interested.
CloudEight even has a newsletter (it's free!) you can sign up for, which then puts you under the "Member" status. There are certain stationery choices that are for members only, so you might want to keep that mind. CloudEight promises that there is no spyware that comes along with their stationery, which is always a plus as well! They also offer some screensavers and wallpaper options, so you'll want to be sure to take a look at those too.
So, go ahead and check out CloudEight! Choose a Halloween image to send to all your friends as a "Happy Halloween" e-mail or if someone's birthday is coming up soon, send them a birthday e-mail. The options are endless and it's so much fun! Go to it!
