Meeting the challenges of clinical exercise science and practice : a collaborative university-industry approach
Selig, Steve, Torode, Margaret, Coombes, Jeff S., Groeller, Herb, Spinks, Warwick, Leicht, Anthony, LeRossignol, Peter, McDonald, Michael D., Otago, Leonie, Pascoe, Deborah, & Raymond, Jacqui (2008) Meeting the challenges of clinical exercise science and practice : a collaborative university-industry approach. PANDORA electronic collection. Australian Learning and Teaching Council, Strawberry Hills, N.S.W.
"Clinical exercise physiologists are university-trained practitioners who provide exercise services for people living with chronic disease, disability or injury, and are recognised as Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP) under a national system administered by the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS). Exercise is now accepted by both the scientific and medical communities to be highly therapeutic for many chronic medical conditions prevalent in Australia today, as well as its value in prevention. A major breakthrough occurred for the AEP on 1 January 2006 when the federal Department of Health and Ageing formally recognised the entry of the AEP into the domain of allied health to deliver Medicare-rebated exercise services for those with chronic diseases. These excellent prospects for the AEP."

So I have wanted breast implants for quite a while. I'm 44, have three kids ages 22, 19, and 15. My breasts got huge while pregnant and nursing and are now deflated but it has always been about putting my kids and family first. Now that kids are older and we are at a better place in our lives (been married 24 years), hubby and I decided to go ahead and get implants!
I was so excited going for my first consult. When I went in to see the dr.'s assistant for my first consult and sizing she looked at my breasts and said I was not a candidate for implants because I needed a full anchor lift first, I was soo disappointed even though I thought I might need a lift. The next day was my consult with the PS and he agreed that I have to much hang to do just implants and that he wants to do a two stage process. The anchor lift first and then a second surgery at least 3 months later to do the implants. The reason being with the amount of hang I have he wants to so a nice lift, let it heal up nicely without extra weight from implants and then do the implants later for a nice end result.
I did a lot of research after being told this and even though I would rather do them both at once I also don't want to jeopardize getting great results. I really like the PS and he has a great rep and great before and after pics, so hubby and I decided to go ahead and do the two staged process. We just need to finalize financing and I plan to schedule it for late January. Any advice ladies? I am just starting out and would live some advice and encouragement :-)

text: I was having a conversation with a guy at work about gun cleaning. He said he doesn't use the copper bristle bore brushes because they scratch the barrel. Generally I clean my guns right after I use them so I don't have to use a brush but what do you do if you buy a used gun that's really dirty and needs to be scrubbed? Will the copper bore brushes hurt the barrel if you scrub back and forth to get all the crap out? I know it scratches the inside of the barrel a bit but how much does it really matter/affect the barrel? How do you guys clean a really dirty barrel?

Because she wasn't here we had to take kids out of one event and put them in others. It also affected our relays. I think if she was here we would have won the meet by 30 points."

Virgin Mary and Goddess of Mercy
6 comments:
Hi Christopher. I have an inclination that yes they are the same spiritual entity embodied/depicted in different forms as a way of reaching out and connecting with very different societies/cultures, baring the same message for humanity. What do you think? :)ReplyDelete
Hi Little Light, it remarkable but I think you are right!ReplyDelete

hi again Little Light, sorry I have to run off as I had some chores to do. Anyway, the similarities between the Virgin Mary & Guan Yin is truly amazing - I really its the same lady!ReplyDelete
Yes, I think so too! When Guan Yin entered my life I was painting as a hobby and was somehow inspired to paint Mother Mary, even though I am not religious, and so I looked up some up the similarities between them. They both have many aspects that seem to hold the same concepts :)ReplyDelete
tq for your commentsReplyDelete

There are approximately 990,000 private forest landowners in the Bay watershed - a number that decreases each day, as more forested land is bought by developers for strip malls, subdivisions and conference centers.
Beginning next year, a voluntary program called Forestry for the Bay will provide forest land owners with a wide range of information for implementing sustainable forestry practices on their land.
By becoming a Forestry for the Bay member, land owners will receive a free resource map of their land and be coached through a web-based planning process that will outline a forest management plan for their property. In addition, members will receive discounts on tree seedlings and many other benefits to help them manage and protect the forested areas on their property.
Forests perform crucial functions that benefit the plants and animals throughout the Bay watershed by:
While forests are natural systems, they need to be properly managed to maximize their health and productivity. Management is driven by a land owner's goals and objectives for their land, such as enhancing recreation, providing wildlife habitat or harvesting forest products. Management is even more relevant today, as forest fragmentation has resulted in an increase of forest edge, which opens the forest up to invasive plants that decrease forest health and have negative impacts on native flora and fauna.
The vast majority of forest land owners in the watershed are not under any form of management plan. This leaves them open to potentially bad management practices, such as high grading timber harvests, that could negatively impact the long-term health and productivity of their forest.
Forestry for the Bay is a collaborative effort among the Chesapeake Bay Program, the USDA Forest Service and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay. For more information on the program, visit www.forestryforthebay.org/.
At the turn of the 20th century, market hunting had caused white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations to reach historic lows across the United States, with numbers hovering between an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 deer. In some areas white-tail deer disappeared completely, while in the Chesapeake region deer were usually only found along the extreme western edge of the watershed.
In 1900, Congressional passage of the Lacy Act prohibited the interstate trafficking of wild game, relieving pressure on deer populations. White-tails received further reprieve in 1908, when 41 states established departments of natural resources, which placed strict protections on the animals and instituted restocking programs.
Deer populations rose steadily in the following decades. While careful deer management by wildlife officials is partially responsible for the white-tails' rebound, deer also adapted to and prospered in the landscapes of America's sprawling suburbs. Mass development in the Bay watershed during the 1980s and 1990s carved up forests and farmland, creating "fringe" habitat that allowed white-tails to thrive. Some current estimates place the national white-tail population at 30 million. In Maryland alone, the 2005-2006 white-tail population was estimated at 269,000 deer.
White-tail deer are a favorite of many watershed residents and their resurgence has been greeted with enthusiasm by those who thrill at the sight of a big buck or a doe and her fawns. But when deer populations become too large, they can have a negative effect on their environment.
In the Bay ecosystem, the largest impact is the over-consumption of vegetation. Forest regeneration bears the brunt of the white-tail's voracious appetite as seedlings and shoots are usually consumed before they can grow to a size that can withstand occasional "browsing." Over-consumption also impedes and distorts forests that are trying to recover from fire or logging. When forest habitats become over-browsed, deer naturally turn elsewhere to feed. Many homeowners experience this impact through the loss of ornamental plantings in the home landscape.
Large whitetail populations can also wipe out native vegetation such as shrubs and grasses, opening the way for noxious weeds and invasive plant species to take root. Deer usually prefer not to browse on non-native species if their traditional meals can be found, thereby perpetuating a vicious cycle.
An overabundance of whitetail deer can also substantially impact other wildlife in the area. Decreasing forest understory deprives essential food and cover to songbirds, reptiles and small mammals, which have a direct effect on the wildlife that count on those species to survive.
To learn more about whitetail deer and their influence on the Bay, attend the 30th Southeast Deer Study Group Meeting on Feb. 25-27, 2007 in Ocean City, Md. This year's theme will be "Deer and Ecosystem Impact." For more information, please contact Doug Hotton, Deer Project Leader with Maryland Department of Natural Resources, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

White women, your white trophy husbands, as well as your blacks(who you use to rebel with), statistically party out more and sleep with more women than Asian men. You are a pseudo-conservative, if you're going to base your values off Christianity, at least acknowledge that God prefers diversity, and whatever race-mixing there is, it is the exception and not the rule. Unfortunately, even though Asians are 4% or so of the US population, half of the women marry out than the other minorities, and it is not even between the genders, and that is not what I call the exception. Imagine this bullshit crossing national borders, but the white integration proponent majority will not rule there, so there will be less influence. Any mail order bride from other countries like Africa are from the ugly population anyhow. I'm sure you have heard that from some white supremacist before. But regardless of your political stance, you are fucked in your arguments cause it lacks logic, like most white women suffer from on average.I think white men in the majority make best husbands, they tend to be more into the family thing. I have to also admire how white men in todays anti white male society have the strength to still take care of their families. I do feel that white men deserve better wives than what white women are providing them. As asian women take over the previously held position by white women the men will be happier.
white men make the best husbands for all women?

Yes, it's sad but true, MOST of the white guys make better husbands. I'm shocked to see how much time and effort they spend with their kids and wifes compared to black guys. I do have a lot of respect for any dad who looks after his kids as they should no matter what race.

I see only people, mostly colorless men wanting to control with mighty egos. I'd say let men order a mail bride wether it be Asian, Black or Indian.
Most educated American women don't NEED a man, they just want one, and a good one, no matter what color he is.
If he happens to be white, with a bad disposition, and a face to match, well it don't matter what color he is, he is just not husband material no matter what color he is.
Stereotypes are from stereotyped families, take a black child raised in a white family, whats the stereotype now? Stereotypes are made by society; packaging us like eggs small med and large, but all eggs crack sooner of later.

Hey Marco Polo, there are plenty of problems in interracial relationships. I should know, my husband is black from Zambia. Women there are on their knees praising the husband, while serving them food. bowing in reverence, you can imagine what happens once they come to America! Most difficult transition for them to accept our way of thinking and doing things. Sometimes they will not adapt, and simply become angry and will not even bend before they break. If they are religious, it complicates things even further. Its best to meet other races other than white Americans, when they have been in our country for a while, meaning years! This will give you a fair accessment of the person in question. Good luck, and hopefully you have the patience, wisdom, and compassion to try a interracial relationship. I still love him, but now we cannot live together anymore. It has been too stressful, but I gave it my best.

As a black woman married to a white man,for 10 years and still going strong....
I can't think of any so called risks....my husband and I were setup on a blind date by a mutual friend...I didn't see white when I saw him... The only thing I was thinking was I hope this isn't a bad date...because when I first saw him...my jaw like hit the floor...he was so good looking....we saw each other everyday after that...then a year later he asked me to marry him...If you are going to worry about what people think and risks and all that then don't even bother...because if you thought about it one could say there is risk in any two people getting together

The majority of black men are lazy and believe women no matter what race, should obey and make no demands. I've just walked away from a black man, who tortured me, punished me if I dared asked him when he was coming home. They are rarely made accountable for the things they do. Furthermore if you should so dare ask for any kind of explanation or adult communication, the black man usually will make a woman feel shame and guilt for asking why he is treating her so bad.Black men never leave women, they just collect them.

You cant be serious!lol I know alot of Mexican men that are very controlling when it comes to their women. And I've had white co workers that are some of the most lazy and shiftless bastards I've ever met! Not to mention the white guythat lives down tha street from me. He's 44 years old and still lives with his parents!lol No ambition at all! Sorry that the last brother you were with abused you. I don't condone that type of behavior. But he doesn't represent all or most black men. You need to stop generalizing people. You post was silly and pathetic. Think before you post.You sound very bitter.

Middle easternmen prove to be the loyalist fathers! They stick around and are faithful to there family and all most each one is married. Black africans dont care about anything in life apart from drugs and being lazy so they dont tend to blend in anything they feel doesnt concern them! Its shameful to see white men and woman breeding with them! your a disgrace to your self and society soon blonds will no longer exists due to lack of integrity. There is so neeed to mix Europe with africa! two complete differnt continents. Blacks are also very very uneducated and do nothing but pick fights even though a few arent like that as they have not grown with other blacks! whites for whites arabs for arabs blacks for blacks! stop confusing society!!!!!!

Well If White men are the Best husbands why are they STATISTICALLY PROVEN to be the most abusive or Arrest for Domestic Violence or Assault in marriages and are known for going to extremes and killing their wife and children. Yeah Race doesn't play a factor in Good Ethics and Responsibility. Yes I'm Black and I have a 3 year old son and a 5 year old daughter I'm engaged to be married to their mother that I've been with in H.S. Also I Got My Bachelor Degree last year. Me and my soon to be Wife are committed to each other and our Kids. I have come across racism and bigotry before and a lot of you non-Black posters are Bias(Obviously),Ignorant,unint elligent and or Racist! I'm Black my wife is Black I've lived in a Black community my most of my life. I have seen tons of fathers that may not live with theirs kids, but still be in their lives like me. Seriously the Fatherless house hold in the Black community is just like crack a dying trend for Blacks.

I married a black man, I am white woman, older than my husband.
He is the most immature man I have ever met. Why is it so important for black men to be "The Man" they keep taking and taking and very seldom give! Oh by the way, if you marry a black man, and don't have children, he will not consider himself married anymore, and will venture to find another woman, however when he does have children with her, he will not wish to be responsible for the child. What the hell is that?!! Confused.
#37 Jun 5, 2011
Well, I had a devoted black father but he treated my black mother like garbage. She is the most wonderful, devoted wife and mother that is in existence. I could not have asked for better. He was mean to her all the time and did not value her. I always felt she deserved a better spouse, but she is the type of woman who marries for life. One thing about my father is that he believed that he should take care of the family. The black men in my family have been good fathers, overall. Maybe not the best husbands. I do not know if I will end up with a black man as a life partner, though. I love my black brothers but I'm torn on different levels. I think I'll let nature take care of it all.

In life we all take our chances. Everyone has a story, and nobody is perfect. As I get older I notice men are pretty much the same no matter what color or religion they are. It appears some people stay too long in a bad relationship, causing them to forget there are still good people in the world, black, white or whatever color. AMEN!!

Lmao. This is turning into a really, really racist forum post. I'm an asian, living in an all black neighbourhood. Some of them have fathers with them - but those that do are usually lazy and they're all poor - like me. And I'm not black. Most of the "high crime" areas have mostly black/brown people; HOWEVER, there are a lot of nice black people, a lot of educated black people; just like any other race. They CAN make good husbands, just like white guys can make good husbands. Because white guys are more privilaged than some black people (the poor ones in poor communities go through a chain), it may appear the white men are "better." If you meet a good black man, hell be a good husband. Stop judging by race...

NEW YORK Dream Water once again is expanding its retail distribution.
The beverage maker announced that less than one year after initially launching in Duane Reade stores, its 2.5-oz. Dream Water shot will be available at Walgreens locations nationwide. In addition to Walgreens, Dream Water also is available in select Walmart stores, tri-state area Kmart and Harmon stores, and New York-based GNC and Duane Reade stores.
Dream Water is a relaxation water that helps consumers fall asleep.
"Just 10 months into our launch, Dream Water is resonating with both consumers and retailers alike. This positive response shows the relevance of our product in the marketplace, as Dream Water helps to fill a significant void in the lives of millions of Americans who suffer from sleep issues," said Adam Platzner, chief marketing officer of Dream Products.
"It's rare to turn regional distribution into national distribution so swiftly; the fact that Dream Water has done it so successfully speaks to the considerable demand for our product," Platzner added. "It is with great pride and excitement that we are able to work with such well-respected retailers [as] Walgreens to offer Dream Water to people all across the country."

All performance cars are "softer" than they used to be and if they are not they should be because with the technology that is available today it is not necessary to have a bone jarring suspension to have a good handling car. Modern performance cars (i.e. BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari, etc.) all have luxury features such as navigation systems, power windows and seats, climate control and bluetooth).
The days of the bar bones roadster with plastic side curtains, a top that had to be erected, and could be driven to the track, raced and driven back home ended a long time ago.
In 1979 when I bought my 320i, they were only available as sport coupes.
What a shame that the bare bones roadsters are not still around except for the Miata, although, my Carrera has similar characteristics even though it does have "back seats".
The roof has air leaks with the top up just like my 1967 MG did. It is very nostalgic and reminds me why I love sports cars. I even told the dealer not to mess with it when they said they could probably correct the air leaks.
My otherwise loaded Porsche also has an actual key ignition, and sport seats without power adjustments except for the back recliner. They are heated though, and that is a nice modern feature. I also have to manually turn my headlamps on and adjust the mirror for night & day. These are all features that true sports car enthusiasts enjoy.
There was a post in the Porsche forum where I frequent asking current owners what their first car was. I was amazed that more than 80% of their first cars were British sports cars. My first car was the 1967 MG Midget.
Current Stablemates:
'12 Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet (MT); '11 BMW E93 335is (DCT); '08 BMW E60 535xi

New Vikings Stadium Preview!
On Thursday, I joined a crew of peeps from our building to go take a tour of the Vikings new Stadium Preview Center, and their new offices in limbo (if you will).
I have to say, Vikings fans.....you are going to be BLOWN away. Pics don't really do all of this justice, but I snapped a few anyway.
In my opinion, this new stadium is going to be as much about the game day experience as it is about what's happening on the field. The ameneties will floor you. I know the Dome was old, but even that said the jump forward is going to be light years.
So, here, enjoy some pics from my tour of the preview center, including a simulated tunnel walk.
First, when you approach the doors, they have the decal that's on all locker room doors, a message from the boss. Never seen this before.
Then, the tunnel walk. This could be reality, IF you're in the right spot at the new stadium.
There were 2 models. I love this shot. Shows just how big this baby is going to be (About double the size of the Dome, actually probably even a bit bigger than that....you'll see a pic that illustrates this at the end)
You can't really see it, but in the pic above, they actually had functioning "video boards" in the model. Hahaha. Pretty cool.
Yes! There is a plan for hockey games too! I wanna see a hockey game, hands down, no dooot abooot it, eh.
Me and my boy Big D checkin out the video boards inside the stadium model. Good day to wear an Orioles hat, right?
Now, finally, the coolest photo of the day.....remember the Dome? That's about all ya have now are memories, cuz that baby is gone. SO gone.
NOW, I want to point out 2 important things. #1 - note how TINY a big ole semi-truck looks in the middle of this massive construction zone. #2 - to put it in further perspective, the Dome WAS the left side of this, you can barely see a little wall left. This new structure is going to be hugenormous.

Tv wall mount height formula
Anyone know of a formula to calculate how high I should Mount a 50" TV? Does viewing distance matter?
Yes, viewing distance matters. It's probably more important than height.
Ever sat in the front row of a movie theater? You get a crick in your neck from staring almost straight up.
This doesn't really go into mounting height though. I'm about 10 feet from tv. Only thing I've found so far is middle of TV at eye level on couch. Is that a good idea to follow?
Ideally, yet, it reduces eye fatigue. I think really it comes down to whats comfortable. You might be able to test it by sticking something to the wall and sitting in different spots to see if you have to crane your neck to see it, etc.
now, if you were talking a LARGE screen = 90"+ then you want to divide the screen horizontally by 3rds. then you set the screen height to look straight at the bottom (of 3) line.

About crosinski:
My name is Carol Rosinski and I'm an artist. My medium is the humble pencil. I've tried several mediums throughout my life but nothing has been a more expressive tool for me than graphite has been. Graphite pencil is limited, of course, by its lack of color but I find that limitation challenging. Limitations force the artist to dig deeper for the expression of her vision. The results often span beyond simple beauty and reach down into the emotional depths of the psyche. The inner vision of the artist is expressed and the inner world of the viewer is touched in this way. Like a river that's forced to run between banks made of rock, a medium that has limitations forces the artist to go deep and flow quickly.

Can Probiotics Really Help Your Health?
By Joyce Hendley, M.S., "Can Fermented Foods Really Help Your Health?," November/December 2010
Health benefits of fermented foods.

The Benefits of Probiotics
An Immunity Boost?
Some research suggests that when "good" bacteria reach the lower intestine, they not only suppress the growth of "bad" bacteria but also might activate the immune system to fight off diseases in other ways. But studies showing a clear boost to the immune system are few. In one study of 33 healthy young women, both "regular" yogurt and so-called "probiotic-fortified" yogurt (which contained added beneficial bacteria cultures) were found to boost T-cells, key players in the body's defenses against viruses and other pathogens. But it's a long way from findings like those to "assuming that by loading up on yogurt—or sauerkraut or kimchi—you can boost your immune system enough to fight off something like the H1N1 flu," says Barry Goldin, Ph.D., professor in the department of Public Health and Community Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. Fortifying yourself with a daily dose of fermented foods can't hurt, says Goldin, "but if you want to beat the flu, get vaccinated."

About Us
DirectX11, Tessallation, and you
posted: 9/29/2009 6:46:00 AM
More On:
Windows 7
Some of us are wondering what DirectX 11 will offer in terms of graphics since the first DirectX 11 cards in the ATI Radeon HD 5XXX series has just been released. Well,
PC Games Hardware has some nice pictures
to show you Tessellation in effect.
As you probably know, everything on the screen is made up of triangles in a 3D game. The more triangles you have, the smoother the object looks. Tessellation takes the triangles and splits them up even more to make things more detailed or smoother. This is all done via the hardware so developers that take advantage of this feature can offer better graphics to those with the hardware capable of running it.
DirectX 11 will be available to the masses in a few weeks when Windows 7 becomes readily available. You can grab the Radeon cards that are DirectX 11 capable now but you'll have to wait a little longer for those that want a NVIDIA solution.

De Blasio Ally Mark-Viverito Elected Council Speaker
Melissa Mark-Viverito, an ally of Mayor Bill de Blasio, has been elected speaker of the New York City Council.
The vote was unanimous for Mark-Viverito, a Democrat who represents East Harlem. Manhattan Councilman Dan Garodnick abandoned his bid to be speaker in the moments before the City Council's vote and threw his support behind Mark-Viverito.
Garodnick also acknowledged that the speaker race had been a "tense and grueling process."
"Please know that I will do my part to resolve and rifts that this process may have cause among us and I am here to taking any steps so that we can move forward together," said Garodnick.
Mark Viverito responded by walking across the Council chamber and hugging her one time rival.
One of the most liberal members of the council, Mark-Viverito was an early supporter of de Blasio's mayoral bid. De Blasio took the unusual step in recent weeks of injecting himself into the speaker race, calling council members to lobby on his candidate's behalf.
In remarks immediately after her election, Mark-Viverito pledged to fight for several of de Blasio's priorities, including economic equality, affordable housing, and raising the minimum wage. But she also said the council under her leadership will hold de Blasio and his administration accountable.
Her win also signals the strength of the Council's Progressive Caucus, which ultimately backed Mark-Viverito.
The speaker is widely considered the second-most powerful post in city government and has the ability to speed up or obstruct the mayor's agenda.

How This Shrink Picks A Sleep Medication
I have more to say about sleep medications. But I have a lot less to say about choosing a sleep medication than I do about choosing an anti-depressant, and my thinking on this is a lot less structured.
Everyone who wants medication to help them sleep gets a talk about the obvious sleep hygiene issues. Here are the basics:
-- Choose a 7 hour period during which you'd like to sleep. Keep it the same everyday, for example, midnight to 7 am, but the exact hours aren't important. The regularity is. Set an alarm.
--Don't nap.
--Don't watch TV or do anything else interesting in bed (sleep and sex, that's it)
--No caffeine after 2 pm. And not much before that. That includes caffeinated soda and iced tea and sadly, chocolate.
--Exercise regularly, preferably 3 hours before you go to bed, but absolutely no closer to bedtime.
--Limit alcohol, and don't drink it near bedtime, it screws up your sleep architecture.
--If you have sleep apnea, use your CPAP machine. Really.
No one follows these recommendations, at least not when I make them.
Linda, the self-proclaimed sleep Nazi, would add: No Screens of any kind after 11 pm for adults and 10 pm for kids-- no computers, TV, video games. Even I'm glad I don't live at her house.
I prescribe sleep medications frequently, insomnia's a common complaint. Sometimes I feel strongly that someone should take a sleep medication-- disturbed sleep goes hand-in-hand with affective (mood) disorders and in patients subject to manic episodes, sleep is really important and I worry that poor sleep habits might either announce or precipitate an episode. Often, though, I feel like it's not the end of the world if every night's sleep is not perfect (great blogging gets done in those wee hours), and that some people are too quick to look to pills to fix problems. I'm probably going to get blasted for that one.
Sleep issues take on a life of their own. People get anxious about not sleeping and it builds on itself. They have all sorts of expectations about how much sleep they need or should have-- one patient was beside herself because she was only sleeping 6 hours a night and felt she needed 8 to 9 hours. Maybe she was right, but when I suggested that maybe she only needed 6 hours and that's why she was waking up, she felt I was dismissive and she found another doc. Another patient said he was greatly relieved when I told him his body was getting rest by just lying there quietly, he stopped worrying so much, and his sleep improved (plus, he turned on his CPAP machine).
All medications have the potential for side effects and adverse effects. Sleep medications are no exception. And many sleep medications are addictive and many patients insist they won't become addicted. And even folks who don't become addicted in an up-the-dose, abuse-the-med kind of way, they get habit-forming, whatever that means, and there are people who will end up taking a pill to sleep every night of their lives and won't hear of even trying to stop the medicine.
So my non-scientific, mostly random method of picking a sleep medication:
If the patient presents with depression, I hope that as the depression resolves, the sleep disturbance will resolve. Some anti-depressants are so sedating (TCAs, Remeron, Serzone, Trazodone) that they are effectively sleeping pills. Other times the anti-depressant, especially SSRIs, cause the sleep disturbance.
Trazodone. It works well in combination with SSRI's. It's cheap. It's not addictive. It's easy to stop. The down side: the fear of priapism and there have been case reports of patients who need surgical intervention. Ouch. The other downside: it doesn't always work, even in escalating doses. Or, it works but patients complain of feeling drugged for hours after waking up. When it's good, it's good.
If trazodone doesn't work or isn't tolerated, and there is no history of substance abuse (particularly of issues with alcohol/benzos), then I try Ambien. This usually works, and it doesn't have a hangover. At least it works for a while, some people get tolerant to it's effects. And some people never want to stop taking it. It's theoretically not very addictive, but it does hit those same benzodiazepine receptors.
If there's a history of substance abuse, I may try visteril. This works only rarely. Once someone has had extended exposure to alcohol or benzodiazepines, it's hard to knock them out.
If visteril doesn't work, I try Rozerem, even though I hate the Abe Lincoln/Beaver advertising campaign, and even though it costs a small fortune, and even though it did terribly on our survey. It does seem to work.
Sometimes I use seroquel or zyprexa. These work, though they have that same effect of leaving some people feeling groggy in the A.M. With all the concern about how these medications are linked with diabetes and lipid disorders, I use low-doses, as needed only for the short-term, and I don't prescribe it as quickly as I used to. Unlike many sleep medications, these are fairly easy to stop.
If there's no history of substance abuse, if the patient is a light social drinker with no history of abuse, then I may try ativan or valium for a short term issue. Restoril works well, though with it's long half-life, it's always a bit surprising that people don't feel groggy on this the next day.
I've never prescribed Sonata, and the first and only patient I gave Lunesta to complained of a horrible taste in her mouth.
With those thoughts, Good Night, Sleep Tight, Don't let the Bed Bugs bite.

The Risky Business of Destroying Chemical WeaponsBy
President Obama said last night that he's considering Russia's plan to avert a military strike if Syria hands over its chemical weapons. Monitoring and securing the weapons is a huge task, as the New York Times and Wall Street Journal both reported this morning. But once you get the weapons, destroying them is a whole other story. I spoke with Bechtel's Doug Omichinski, a project manager who works at sites that dismantle the U.S. chemical weapon stockpile of mustard, nerve gas, and other chemical agents that date back as far as World War II. As he explains in this interview, which has been edited in places for clarity, it can take decades—and lots of robots—to get the job done.
Briefly, what are the chemical weapons you're handling?
[In the nineties] there was a treaty that said all countries that had chemical weapons would destroy them within a scheduled time frame. The U.S. and Russia had the largest stockpiles. There were eight or nine facilities within the U.S. that held chemical weapons. Pueblo, Colo., and Richmond, Ky., are the last two remaining sites, making up about 10 percent of the original stockpile. We're on schedule to complete it by by 2022, 2023.
How do you decommission the stockpiles?
These weapons, they were designed to be used; they weren't designed to be disassembled. So that's why these projects are very specialized. It's always an assembly-line process. You're basically introducing the munitions into very specialized equipment to disassemble these weapons, rinse out the agent, neutralize the agent, and then break down the reactant or the neutralized agent and recover the waste water.
Can you walk me through the assembly line?
At some point you're moving the munitions from the storage areas in very specialized containers, because there are energetics in the munitions. You don't expect that they'll explode, but you don't want to test them. You're moving them into a facility that has what we call "hardened" walls and ceilings—2-foot-thick ceilings and 4-foot-thick floors. This is all concrete.
The workers will load these munitions onto a conveyor, and then the munition is handled by robotics only. [The robots are] cutting, removing, unscrewing, draining, punching, and moving these munitions through a series of stations that are taking all these little parts apart, draining the weapons. Then you're moving the drained munition to thermal treatment, where the munition casing is thermally treated and then scrapped, and the liquid agent itself is then moved into what we call a toxic room, where the agent is then neutralized in reactors.
How do you neutralize the chemical agent?
In most cases, it's a combination of hot water and caustic. They're mixed in a big tank, and over time it neutralizes to a benign product. Then you can take that benign product and treat it commercially and recover some of the water and recover some of the solids that may fall out from the weapon or from the chemical agent.
Tell me about these robots.
You know that commercial where the robot on the automobile line fixes the other robots? We use those types of robots. They're the size of people and can actually pick up and very easily move the munitions to the various stations, whether the weapon is being cut or the nose cone is being unscrewed or the burster well is being punctured to release the agent into a tank.
The robots aren't automated, are they? Do you have a guy with a joystick somewhere?
Oh no, they're automated. They are moving the munitions to various stations all on a very specific program. In a control room humans are monitoring through computers that are giving them feedback on the instrumentation and then also through cameras that the operators can watch the robots doing their thing.
How long does it take?
These [decontamination facilities] have typically [taken] an average of four to five years to build and then two to three years to what we call systemize or test. Then, depending on the stockpile, it can range from from three to six years for destruction. Our contract is to close those facilities also, so we will decontaminate them after the mission is complete and close or demo the chemical agent areas.
We look to process about 30 to 40 munitions an hour at Pueblo [in Colorado]. At Blue Grass [in Kentucky], they've got rockets and all kinds of stuff that take a little bit more time, so you're down to four or five an hour. The amount of support that's needed to be able to move these munitions, and do it safely, takes a lot of people, and to maintain the equipment. These are 365, 24/7 operations. You don't stop. So you've got four different shifts by which crews are working on, and the mission is to get the weapons destroyed as quickly as possible.

Nov. 23, 2011
By Todd Mounce, Media Relations Graduate Assistant
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In front of the fifth-largest crowd in Tennessee history, 1,648 enthusiastic fans witnessed something special, as the No. 15 University of Tennessee Lady Vol volleyball team knocked off No. 16 Kentucky, 3-1 (28-30, 25-20, 30-28, 25-18), to win the Southeastern Conference Championship outright on Wednesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"We knew it was going to be a great match," Lady Vol head volleyball coach Rob Patrick said. "My hat goes off to Kentucky, who really played a great match and put us on our heels. To be able to play such a quality opponent, such a well-coached team and be able to pull it out like that for an SEC Championship, it means a lot to our players. It was a fantastic match and I'm proud of the players, as they were able to come back from an emotional first-set loss."
Tennessee (27-3, 19-1) has now won two regular-season titles in its history, with this being the first outright crown for the program. UT shared the title in 2004 and also has three SEC Tournament Titles to its credit.
The victory also marked 12 straight-wins for the Lady Vols, which is the fourth longest streak in Tennessee history. UT also defended TBA this season, going a perfect 13-0 in the friendly confines, while also breaking the overall and average attendance records for the fourth-consecutive year.
"This was incredible," Patrick said. "Obviously, most of the fans were Tennessee fans but we had a pretty big contingent of Kentucky fans also, which is fantastic. That is what college athletics are about. This was as high a level match that you're going to see in the NCAA. We wouldn't have been able to pull it out the way we did, if we didn't have the backing of the fans. They really pushed us through some tight parts of the sets and I can't thank them enough. Tennessee fans are the best fans in the country. "
On the evening, four Lady Vols hit .270 or better, in juniors DeeDee Harrison (.444) and Leslie Cikra (.370), sophomore Kelsey Robinson (.274) and freshman Shealyn Kolosky (.421). The Big Orange outhit the Wildcats .291-.205 and is now 25-1 in matches when out-hitting the opposition.
Robinson collected her 21st double-double on the year, registering a team-best 26 kills to go along with 13 digs. Harrison tied a season-best in kills against UK, totaling 15. Cikra and freshman Tiffany Baker also recorded double digit kills, as Cikra blasted 14, while Baker recorded a double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs.
Freshman Mary Pollmiller dished out 64 assists, which was the most in a four-set match this season. UT's 72 kills was also a season high in a four set match, bettering its previous-best output of 60 against Virginia Tech in September. She also tallied her seventh double-double, by adding 11 digs. This season, she has 13 matches of at least 50 assists.
Defensively, five Lady Vols recorded 10 or more digs, led by sophomore libero Ellen Mullins, who had 24. Freshman Nikki Brice was the other Lady Vol to record double digit digs, as she tallied 11 on the night, while also adding a team-best two serving aces. Kolosky led the team in block, sending five Wildcat attacks back, two of which were solo.
The opening frame was a seesaw battle throughout. The squads traded the first five points of the set before UK would score two straight to grab a 7-5 lead. Tennessee would score five of the next six to take a two-point advantage, 10-8, as Robinson had four kills and Harrison and Cikra combined for a block.
The Big Orange led by as many as four, 18-14 and 19-15, before Kentucky would cut its deficit to one, 20-19. UT and UK would trade the next six points, as UT held a slim 23-22 lead.
Kentucky would even things up at 23, but a kill from Robinson gave UT its first match point at 24-23. Kentucky would fight it off and three more to be exact, as UT had opportunities to close out the frame at 25-24, 26-25 and 27-26.
Kentucky took a one point lead, 28-27, but a kill from Cikra kept UT alive at 28-28. It was not meant to be however, as the Wildcats would take the next two and grab an early 1-0 lead in the match, winning the set 30-28.
The opening set was a battle of high potent offenses, as both squads hit over .300. The Lady Vols recorded six more kills but also had six more errors.
The teams split the first 10 points in the second set, as the frame was deadlocked at five early. During that span, Cikra and Robinson combined for three kills, in addition to a Kolosky solo block a UK attack error. Another attack error by the Wildcats plus a Robinson kill gave Tennessee a two-point advantage, 8-6.
The Lady Vols pushed their lead out to three, 11-8, after kills from Baker and Cikra and a Kentucky serve that went into the net. Kentucky would even the set up at 13, before back-to-back kills from Pollmiller gave the Big Orange the lead, 15-13.
The frame would be tied 15 and 16 before UK would take a 17-16 advantage. That's when the Orange and White took control, scoring six-straight points to take a commanding 22-17 advantage. During that run, Harrison had a pair of kills, Robinson added a blast, Cikra and Harrison combined to send a UK attack back and the Wildcats had two attack errors.
Up 23-20, a Harrison shot and an attack error wide by Kentucky's Whitney Billings ended the set, 25-20, and tied the match up at one apiece. The UT defense really stepped up, limiting a potent Wildcat offense to just .161, while hitting at a clip of .314.
Storming out of the gates in the third set, the Lady Vols quickly grabbed a 4-1 lead, aided by a pair of kills from Harrison and a laser from Cikra. Kentucky would not go down without a fight, tying the set up at points seven through eleven.
With the set tied at 11, UT scored four of the ensuing five, as Kolosky tallied a pair of kills along with a kill off the arm of Robinson and a UK attack error, making the score 15-12 and forcing a Wildcat timeout.
Kentucky responded out of the break, scoring the next three to even the set up at 15. The teams went back-and-forth until the match was 20-19 in UK's favor. A Kentucky miscue, a Robinson kill and a service ace by Brice allowed the Big Orange to regain the lead, 22-20.
A kill from Robinson gave the Lady Vols set point, 24-22, but the Wildcats scored the next two to knot the score at 24 all. Tennessee fought off a pair of set points, 27-26 and 28-27, before three consecutive kills from Cikra, Robinson and Baker ended the set 30-28 and gave UT a 2-1 lead in the match.
In the third frame, there were 17 ties and five lead changes, which was the most in any set of the match. Kolosky hit a blistering .556 in the set, as Tennessee outhit the Wildcats .246-.204.
The fourth set was one for the ages, as the Lady Vols fought through adversity in the form of UK jumping out to a quick 8-3 advantage. Following a timeout, a kill from Baker, a block from Baker and Kolosky and another Brice serving ace cut the deficit to two, 8-6.
Tennessee got to within three twice, 10-7 and 11-8, but the Wildcats pushed their advantage to five points at 13-8 and 15-10. From that point on, the Lady Vols overwhelmed UK. A Cikra kill sparked a 6-0 rally to give UT a 16-15 lead. With Mullins at the service line, Cikra blasted three more kills; Baker added one of her own along with a UK attack error that went wide.
Kentucky tied the set up at 16, but back-to-back kills from Baker and Robinson and a combined block by Kolosky and Baker gave the Orange and White the lead for good at 19-16.
After a Robinson kill made the score 21-18, the lone senior on the squad, Kelsey Mahoney, stepped up to the service line and closed out the set. The Lady Vols ended the match on a 5-0 run, as after the Robinson kill, UT took advantage of two Kentucky attack errors, another kill from Robinson and a blast from Harrison that ended the set, 25-18, and the match.
Tennessee clinched the SEC automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with the win and will find out its fate on Sunday afternoon, as the NCAA Selection Show is slated to begin at 6 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

Holyrood approves three more primary schools
November 27, 2009 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Pollokshields and Garrowhill are two of the latest beneficiaries of the Scottish Government's £1.25bn schools building programme.
Cabinet Secretary for Education, Fiona Hyslop's, announcement includes rebuilding projects at Garrowhill Primary in the east of the city and Glendale Primary in the south.
The latest tranche of rebuilding also allows Glasgow City Council to nominate a third school project. A total of 21 primary schools are now part of the programme to replace crumbling post-war buildings with modern facilities.
In September, the Government announced that 14 secondary schools will be rebuilt or modernised.
The Cabinet Secretary said: 'This Government inherited a legacy of 260,000 pupils in poor or bad condition school buildings and in just two-and-a-half years that number has dropped by over 100,000.
'We are on track to deliver in excess of 250 new or refurbished schools in the lifetime of this Parliament through £2bn already under way, supported by decisions made by the Scottish Government.'
Welcoming the news of a new Garrowhill Primary, Glasgow East MP, John Mason, fired a broadside at the Labour-led council, saying they had failed in their responsibility to keep schools in good repair.
'The Scottish Government's school building fund is meant to provide additional support, but the Labour council really needs to start pulling its weight on schools.'
The rebuilding project will be managed by the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT), a limited company wholly owned by Holyrood ministers, set up to govern infrastructure investment in Scotland, working in partnership with the private sector.
Established last year, the Government claimed the SFT would cost less than public finance initiative deals with the private sector. Infrastructure investment in Scotland over the next 10 years has been put at some £35bn.
Open doors weekend at Little Einstein's in Pollokshields
October 29, 2009 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Southside parents are invited to an open day at the newly-launched Little Einstein's kindergarten in Nithsdale Road, Pollokshield, on Saturday, October 31, between 10.00am and 1.30pm.
Nithsdale House Nursery provides a first-class early learning experience for children from shortly after birth until they are ready for the first days of primary school.
The new facility – the latest in a thriving business with four premises in Tayside and two in Glasgow – has created 20 jobs for a team of qualified and professional carers.
Nithsdale House expands and enhances Little Einstein's offering of the Hillside Crèche and the Hillside Clubhouse in Mansewood in Glasgow, which meet increasing levels of demand from parents in the surrounding area and beyond.
The new facility, at the corner of Nithsdale Road and Shields Road, provides parents with a safe, secure and nurturing environment where children can progress through the early stages of personal development.
For all 52 weeks of the year, it offers four huge and comprehensively equipped learning areas where children of different ages will be cared for by staff in ratios as intensive as one nursery professional to every three children.
Children also have frequent access to a pleasant and secure outdoor garden area and they are further stimulated by outings to the local community.
Nithsdale House's cook provides healthy nutritious meals and snacks to cater for all dietary and cultural requirements.
Nithsdale House's Nursery Manager, Leighann Bain, said: 'We seek to build a strong and effective working relationship with parents so that they can be satisfied that their child is happy, safe and well-stimulated at all times.
'We aim to provide an environment in which each child can grow and develop at its own pace and where staff plan responsively to children's needs to ensure that learning is of the best possible value to children as individuals.'
Islamic Relief Arson Attack
July 21, 2009 by Martin Graham · Leave a Comment
Two men, Mark Bining aged 34 and Stuart Rose, 25, were charged at Glasgow Sheriff Court with wilful fire-raising in connection with an arson attack on the Islamic Relief charity shop on Albert Drive in Pollokshields. They made no plea and were bailed. Habib Malik from Islamic Relief said: 'We were notified by the fire brigade at 5.08am in the morning. They were working until 11am to bring the fire under control. Our own CCTV footage shows two men outside the shop. There is a gas pipe outside the shop and they seemed to be tampering with it. The next thing you can see is huge flames coming up in front of the shop.' Habib explained that the shop had received telephone threats during the Gaza crisis in January, but that there had been no recent incidents. He went on to say that they had received messages of support from charities including Oxfam and from across the Scottish political spectrum. Mohammed Sarwar MP, Hanzala Malik and Nicola Sturgeon have all sent their best wishes, with Nicola Sturgeon even offering to help with the clean up. The bill for damages is estimated at £70-80,000, and it will take at least 6 weeks to get the shop up and running again, due to extensive smoke damage. Habib said: 'The people who did this did not think about the deprived people who the charity helps. This is not a profit making business, it is a charity which raises money to help people in poverty. They are the ones who will suffer.'
David Milliband meets Glasgow Muslims
April 30, 2009 by Martin Graham · Leave a Comment
UK Foreign Secretary David Milliband took time out from the Cabinet's Glasgow visit, to speak to members of Glasgow's Muslim community.
He answered questions about foreign policy, particularly the UK's engagement with Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Hosted by Pollokshields Youth and Community Support Agency (YCSA) the event took place in the Kabana restaurant on Seaward Street and was attended by around 70 people. Anwari Din from YCSA said: 'We had very positive feedback. The young people would have liked more time to speak to Mr Milliband. He was as open as he could be, and was relaxed and informal, which the audience appreciated.'
David Milliband was in Glasgow attending the UK Government's historic Cabinet meeting in Scotland to discuss the economy. The Cabinet last met in Scotland in 1921.
Mr Milliband was welcomed to Glasgow by YCSA's Shoket Aksi, first in Arabic then in English. The event was hosted by YCSA's Anwari Din, shown wearing a green dress and headscarf.
David Milliband takes questions on UK foreign policy. The sound quality varies because Mr Milliband does not use a microphone.
Nithsdale and Newark Nurseries on the March
March 26, 2009 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Parents across the city are up in arms at the proposals by Glasgow City Council to close and amalgamate 13 primary schools and 12 nurseries at a saving of £3.5m a year to address sub-standard buildings and under-occupancy. Around 2000 children would be moved to new locations. A six week consultation is in process with the City Executive's final decision expected on Good Friday – 17 April. The full Council would ratify it on Thursday 23 April. Agreed mergers would take effect from August 2009. Steven Purcell, Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: 'This is not financially driven. It makes no sense to manage half-empty buildings. Every penny saved by this exercise will be reinvested in the establishments the pupils transfer to.'
Braving the rain, more than 300 parents, children and supporters pushed buggies from Nithsdale Road nursery in Dumbreck and Newark Drive Nursery to Pollokshields Primary Annexe in Melville Street on the Southside to protest against the proposed closure of Nithsdale Road and Newark Drive Nursery Schools.
The protestors say the 1.5 miles they'd have to walk to the new nursery school location in Melville Street, is too far to push a baby buggy and is outwith the walking range promised by the Council.
They were accompanied the entire 1.5miles by local MSP Nicola Sturgeon who also attended a protest meeting earlier in the week and called the Glasgow City Council's consultation procedures a 'sham' and a 'shambles.'
None of the City's Labour Councillors who voted for the changes were on the march but opponents of the changes, Councillor David Meikle (Conservative) and Councillor Khalil Malik (SNP) were.
Marchers kept their spirits up by singing songs and nursery rhymes and were greeted with supportive horn blasts by passing drivers.
At Melville Street, the united thong sang more songs and chanted 'Save Our Nursery.'
Asked by the LOCAL NEWS if the Scottish Government would call in any decision made by the Council, Nicola Sturgeon said: 'I hope it doesn't come to that. The consultation has been a sham and the Council has not demonstrated the educational benefits of the proposed closures.'
Proposed Scottish Government legislation – the Schools (Consultation) Bill – sets out a rigorous process for a local authority to follow when it wants to close a school. It includes six weeks of term time consultation, a report from her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education and an extended list of mandatory consultees, including staff and pupils. If passed, the proposals could be in place by next year.
A few days before the 'buggy march' a consultation meeting was held in Bellahouston Academy by Glasgow City Council officials for the three nursery schools scheduled to merge in Melville Street. Children currently attending Newark Drive, Nithsdale Road and Pollokshields Nurseries should transfer to a new, early years centre at Pollokshields Primary Annexe in Melville Street.
Parents were adamant that the distance from the Nithsdale Road Nursery to the intended site at Melville Street was too far to walk. Many said they had no car and pointed out that the 59 bus was not reliable enough to provide guaranteed transport. In any case, the buses are restricted to carrying only two baby buggies at a time.
Council officials apologised for errors in the consultation document – the condition of the Nithsdale Road Nursery building was listed as 'C' (poor) when it is 'B' (satisfactory). Parents were encouraged by the officials to submit response forms but did not get direct answers to most of their questions on the night.
Local MSP Nicola Sturgeon was present as was Councillor Stephen Curran from Newlands and Councillors David Meikle, Irfan Rabbani and Khalil Malik.
Nicola Sturgeon said that Glasgow City Council had allocated a small proportion of their capital budget to school and nursery buildings compared to other local authorities such as South Lanarkshire. Councillor Stephen Curran responded by saying that it was not the time to score political points. Several people in the audience called for him to 'be quiet' since Nithsdale Road Nursery is not in his ward.
At a consultation meeting at Victoria Primary in Govanhill, Bailie James Scanlon was shouted down when he addressed the angry parents of Victoria Primary School. He was told in no uncertain terms to 'shut up!' amid claims that he had refused to help them keep their school open. Campaigner Cathy Wotherspoon told the LOCAL NEWS: 'We approached Bailie Scanlon and he told us Govanhill was not in his area. He also didn't show up at other meetings.'
Of 22 schools slated for closure by Glasgow City Council, Victoria Primary and Nursery is the only one where the pupils would be sent to two separate schools – Annette Street and Cuthbertson Primary.
Council officials at the meeting promised £70,000 in funding for the receiving primary schools if Victoria Primary and Nursery closed. A further £25,000 was promised for Govanhill Nursery where the 67 nursery pupils are destined to go if the school closes. Parents were promised free transport for any child travelling more than one mile to school. Parents speaking out in support of their school – sometimes through interpreters – were vociferous in their opposition to closure.
Victoria Primary has a roll of 83 pupils and a capacity of 463 giving an occupancy rate of only 18%. The 83 pupils are spread across four composite classes.
Pupils Sophie Mackinnon (11) and Kayleigh Wotherspoon (11) read out a poem of their feelings on the planned closure.
'Friends of Victoria'
I've played I've sang, we have fell out
Sometimes we even shout
We will moan we will groan, but we will stay good friends
At Victoria today
Split us up and we won't see our friends from Victoria any day
Different schools we'll have to go across the street we'll say 'cheerio'
Hi and bye we've known since primary
We'll have to go we'll have no choice
The children's charter says we have a voice
We'll have to go we'll have no choice
I keeping with the charter we'll make lots of noise
Friends of the Victoria we'll have a say
Someone will listen to us today
Keep our school so friends can play
Friends of Victoria say 'good day'
Maxwell Park Station Adopted
February 18, 2009 by Martin Graham · Leave a Comment
Maxwell Park Train Station has been adopted by a local conservation group under Scotrail's 'Adopt a Station' scheme.
Pollokshields Heritage has transformed the station's former ticket office and turned it into a community meeting venue and exhibition space. The station adoption was officially launched by Jack Kernahan, author of 'The Cathcart Circle' and railway historian.
Jack shared memories of spending time at the station in the early 1960s when he was a pupil at Hutchie Grammar. Jack and his friend Hamish Stevenson helped out at the station in their spare time and did their best to maintain the gardens. Jack also donated some historic artefacts, including station master Tom McPherson's hat, a map of the surrounding area drawn by a staff member in 1920, and a selection of photos and tickets from the 1960s. One of the photos from 1951 shows the station in the days before the line was electrified. Lighting came from gas lamps and the locomotives on the line were mostly steam powered.
The station was built in 1894 by the Caledonian Railway Company as one of the ten original stations on the Cathcart Circle. Although it was un-staffed by 1987, the building was 'B' listed in 1990. By 1996 the building was in serious disrepair, and British Rail actually applied to demolish it, as they subsequently did to Pollokshields West train station.
China Trip for Future Leaders
November 6, 2008 by localnews · Leave a Comment
A GROUP of Glasgow youngsters visited China in November as part of a cultural exchange programme.
Organised by the British Council, the UK- China 400:An Exchange of Future Leaders, will initially enable 100 UK young people to visit the Far East. The primary aim is to strengthen the understanding between youngsters in both countries. Over the next 12 months another 300 young people will visit different parts of the China. Organisers also hope to arrange a reciprocal visit to the UK, including Glasgow, for Chinese young people.
The Youth Counselling Services Agency (YCSA) is leading the 10 member Scottish delegation. Anita Yu of the YCSA said: 'I am delighted to be part of this exchange programme as it is an excellent opportunity for me and the other participants to experience a new culture and learn from other young people from areas around UK as well as China.
'It is a fantastic opportunity for me as China is the root of my heritage, but I have not visited it before. Although I am born into a Chinese family, my upbringing has been a Chinese culture within a Western society. What I can experience during the exchange is a Chinese culture within a traditional Chinese society.'
The China 400 programme was officially launched at the British Council HQ in London and has the support of Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao.
The Glasgow group will travel to London, where they will join the 90 other youngsters before flying to Beijing. Apart from the Chinese capital, they will visit Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang province. The visiting schedule will include youth organisations and educational establishments in villages and towns. The British Embassy in Beijing will host a reception in their honour.
Liam McEmerson, 21, from Clydebank says the trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Currently working for the Prince's Trust, he said: 'This visit will broaden my mind and give me invaluable knowledge of how things are done in a different country. Hopefully, some of the things I pick up, can be transferred to my current job here. I am also secretly looking forward to eating some authentic Chinese food.'
Samira Adris, 22, is from Pollokshields. She said: 'It will be the furthest I will ever have travelled. I never imagined that working as a volunteer youth worker I would get to China. I have been learning a few Chinese phrases and can't wait to share my experiences with other youth workers in China.'
