There are several financial aid options available to Golden Gate University students. In general, these options fall into the following categories: Federal financial aid, state grants, GGU scholarships & grants, and private loans. GGU's financial planners are eager to assist you to develop a customized financial plan that maximizes the use of grants or scholarships in order for you to graduate with the lowest debt level possible.
The federal government provides aid to citizens of the US to pursue higher education. Federal aid typically includes federal Direct and Perkins Loans, grants and work-study funds. Subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans are federal, low-interest loans. Interest rates are subject to change on July 1st each year. See the 2013-2014 interest rates table for more information. "Subsidized" means that interest is paid for by the federal government while you are enrolled at least half-time. In most cases you can defer making any payments of principle and interest until after you leave school. Once you go into repayment (6-9 months after you leave school), you typically have from 10 to 20 years (or more) to repay the loan. And, in many cases, your loan servicer may allow you to temporarily stop making payments if you return to school, have trouble finding a job or are temporarily unemployed, have a medical disability, or if you simply are having difficulties making your payments. Federal Perkins Loan amounts vary (generally a maximum of $8,000 per year for graduates) and are repayable at 5 percent annual interest beginning nine months (for new students) after you cease to be enrolled at least half-time. You may have up to ten years to repay the loan. Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need or a combination of need and merit and do not need to be repaid. Federal Work-Study provides work opportunities, typically on campus. Pay rates vary depending upon the position.
The basic federal application for consideration for all forms of financial aid. Be sure to list Golden Gate University as a recipient of the data in Step 6; our federal Title IV School Code is 001205. To file the FAFSA online, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov
You must also complete this short form to help assist you with your financial planning by gathering basic personal, academic and program information. Please pay careful attention to the section requesting number of units you will take.
GGU processes completed aid applications on a rolling basis in the order by which they become complete. Please understand that we cannot process your file until it is complete and you are admitted to a program.
The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) administers grant programs for California residents. Cal Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need or a combination of need and merit. You do not need to repay grants, however, you may be required to maintain a certain GPA or other requirements in order to continue receiving the award.
Scholarships may be funded by a variety of sources, including private groups and agencies and the university itself. Typically, scholarships are generally awarded on the basis of financial or academic merit. You do not need to repay scholarships, however, you may be required to maintain a certain GPA or meet other requirements to continue receiving the award.
Student loans are typically financed by the federal government, but many are also available from private lenders. These loans require completing a separate loan application, available from lender online
Private/Alternative loans are based on credit. A co-signer may be required. All lenders reserve the right to make changes to interest rates and other criteria without notification to Golden Gate University. Students should review all federal student loan options before investigating private student loans. If you are a GGU student, the Financial Aid Office will be able to check on your federal student loan eligibility for you. If you are a graduate student, we recommend that you compare interest rates, deferment options, repayment time frame as well as cosigner criteria with the Private /Alternative Loan and the DIRECT Graduate PLUS Loan program with the U.S. Department of Education.
*Students who elect to apply for a private/alternative educational loan will also have to fill out the Self-Certification Form. (This is an example only and is submitted to the lender not Golden Gate University.)
The following lenders have been historically used by Golden Gate University students. You may choose any lender for a private/alternative loan even if the lender is not on the Golden Gate University lender list if they have private/alternative educational loan products.
All lenders reserve the right to make changes to interest rates and other criteria without notification to Golden Gate University. It is highly recommended that students visit each website AND compare the loan variable especially interest rates and repayment schedules. Students should review all federal student loan options before investigating private student loans. If you are a current GGU student, the Financial Aid Office will be able to check on your federal student loan eligibility for you. If you are a graduate student, we recommend that you compare the Graduate Direct Unsubsidized and the Graduate PLUS loan with the private loan you qualify for with regard to interest rates, repayment benefits, fees and repayment periods. Note: Private/Alternative Loan lenders may do individual credit worthiness reviews on each student's loan application.
You are free to choose any lender that participates in private educational loan products even if the lender is not on the list. The lenders listed above have been used by GGU students historically.
From academic program offerings, to financial aid resources, to information regarding our student outcomes you will find everything you need to make an informed decision about attending Golden Gate University. Most links lead to other Web pages that provide more detailed information. If you have additional questions, please contact us at the phone numbers or e-mail addresses below.
The Golden Gate University Office of Financial Aid hires its own employees and not employees of lenders, servicers or guarantee agencies in staffing the office.

Blood flows out of your heart and into a large blood vessel called the aorta. The aortic valve connects the heart and aorta. The aortic valve opens so blood can flow out. It then closes to keep blood from returning to the heart.
You may need aortic valve surgery to replace the aortic valve in your heart if:
- Your aortic valve does not close all the way so blood leaks back into the heart. This is called aortic regurgitation.
- Your aortic valve does not open fully so blood flow through it is reduced. This is called aortic stenosis.
The aortic valve can be replaced using:
- Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery — done using several small cuts
Open aortic valve surgery —done by making a large cut in your chest
Alternative Names
Balloon valvuloplasty; Mini-thoracotomy aortic valve replacement or repair; Cardiac valvular surgery; Mini-sternotomy; Robotically-assisted endoscopic aortic valve replacement
Before your surgery you will receive
You will be asleep and pain-free.
There are several ways to do minimally invasive aortic valve surgery. Techniques include thoracoscopy or endoscopy, robot-assisted surgery, and percutaneous surgery.
- Your surgeon may make a 2-inch to 3-inch cut in the right part of your chest near the sternum (breastbone). The muscles in the area will be divided. This lets the surgeon reach the heart and aortic valve.
- For the endoscopic or keyhole approach, your surgeon makes 1 to 4 small holes in your chest. Surgery is done through the cuts using a camera and special surgical tools.
- For robotically-assisted valve surgery, the surgeon makes 2 to 4 tiny cuts in your chest. The cuts are about 1/2 to 3/4 inches each. The surgeon uses a special computer to control robotic arms during the surgery. A 3D view of the heart and aortic valve are displayed on a computer in the operating room. This method is very precise.
You may need to be on a heart-lung machine for all of these surgeries.
If your aortic valve is too damaged, you will need a new valve. This is called replacement surgery. Your surgeon will remove your aortic valve and sew a new one into place. There are two main types of new valves:
- Mechanical — made of man-made materials, such as titanium or carbon. These valves last the longest. You will need to take blood-thinning medicine, such as warfarin (Coumadin) or aspirin, for the rest of your life if you have this type of valve.
- Biological — made of human or animal tissue. These valves last 10 to 20 years, but you may not need to take blood thinners for life.
In some cases, you will have coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), or surgery to replace part of the aorta at the same time.
Once the new valve is working, your surgeon will:
- Close the small cut to your heart or aorta
- Place catheters (flexible tubes) around your heart to drain fluids that build up
- Close the surgical cut in your muscles and skin
The surgery may take 3 – 6 hours.
Aortic valve surgery can also be done through a groin artery. No cuts are made on your chest. The doctor sends a catheter (tube) to the valve. The catheter has with a balloon on the end. The balloon is inflated to stretch the opening of the valve. This procedure is called percutaneous valvuloplasty. A catheter can be used to place a new valve in some cases.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Aortic valve surgery is done when the valve does not work properly. Surgery may be done for these reasons:
- Changes in your aortic valve are causing major heart symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells, or heart failure.
- Tests show that changes in your aortic valve are harming the working of your heart.
- Damage to your heart valve from infection
A minimally invasive procedure has many benefits. There is less pain, blood loss, and risk of infection. You will also recover faster than you would from open heart surgery.
Percutaneous valvuloplasty and catheter-based valve replacement are done only in patients who are too sick for major heart surgery. The results of percutaneous valvuloplasty are not long-lasting.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Bleeding Blood clotsin the legs that may travel to the lungs Breathing problems
- Infection, including in the lungs, kidneys, bladder, chest, or heart valves
- Reactions to medicines
Other risks vary by the patient's age. Some of these risks are:
Damage to other organs, nerves, or bones
Heart attack,
stroke, or death
Infection of the new valve
Kidney failure
Irregular heartbeatthat must be treated with medicines or a pacemaker
Poor healing of incision
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or could be pregnant
- What medicines you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription
You may be able to store blood in the blood bank for transfusions during and after your surgery. Ask your surgeon about how you and your family members can donate blood.
For the 2-week period before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it harder for your blood to clot. These might cause increased bleeding during the surgery.
- Some of them are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn).
- If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix), talk with your surgeon before stopping or changing how you take these drugs.
During the days before your surgery:
- Ask your doctor which medicines you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- If you smoke, you must stop. Ask your doctor for help.
- Always let your doctor know if you have a cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or any other illness in the time leading up to your surgery.
Prepare your house for when you get home from the hospital.
Shower and wash your hair the day before surgery. You may need to wash your body below your neck with a special soap. Scrub your chest 2 or 3 times with this soap. You also may be asked to take an antibiotic to prevent infection.
The day before your surgery, shower and shampoo well. You may be asked to wash your whole body below your neck with a special soap. Scrub your chest 2 or 3 times with this soap. You also may be asked to take an antibiotic, to prevent infection.
On the day of your surgery:
- You may be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before your surgery. This includes using chewing gum and mints. Rinse your mouth with water if it feels dry. Be careful not to swallow.
- Take the medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
After your operation, you will spend 3 – 7 days in the hospital. You will spend the first night in an intensive care unit (ICU). Nurses will monitor your condition at all times.
Most of the time, you will be moved to a regular room or a transitional care unit in the hospital within 24 hours. You will start activity slowly. You may begin a program to make your heart and body stronger.
You may have two or three tubes in your chest to drain fluid from around your heart. Most of the time, these are taken out 1 to 3 days after surgery.
You may have a catheter (flexible tube) in your bladder to drain urine. You may also have intravenous (IV) lines for fluids. Nurses will closely watch monitors that display your vital signs (pulse, temperature, and breathing). You will have daily blood tests and
A temporary
Once you are home, recovery takes time. Take it easy, and be patient with yourself.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Mechanical heart valves do not fail often. However, blood clots can develop on them. If a blood clot forms, you may have a stroke. Bleeding can occur, but this is rare.
Biological valves have a lower risk of blood clots, but tend to fail over time. Minimally invasive heart valve surgery has improved in recent years. These techniques are safe for most people and can reduce recovery time and pain. For best results, choose to have your aortic valve surgery at a center that does many of these procedures.

As the kick off to a sizzling summer of 2009, we are thrilled to report that the June issue of Vogue is highlighting some gorgeously green designs and super fresh eco fashion picks. Loyale's Jenny Hwa has her super-hot Barstow bikini featured on the chiseled bod of Gisele Bundchen on Vogue's page 68, a sign perhaps that even Anna Wintour has acknowledged that green fashion has real resonance with fashion-forward readers. Summer style really does not get any hotter than this, and honestly folks, who would have guessed that sustainable style would be heating up a fashion glossy's pages on the curves of a Brazilian supermodel?
Loyale's commitment to using 100% organic cotton and low-impact dyes is truly revolutionizing the way that we think about swimwear, and now that this mission has been paired with editorial coverage that puts eco fashion front and center on the trend map, the message seems even stronger: Green fashion is no longer a quiet bystander.
Jenny Hwa commented in June Vogue's Style Ethics' write-up that organic cotton absorbs low-impact dyes more safely and efficiently resulting in less toxic waste-water and a healthier environment overall. The teal-hued Barstow bikini is crafted in New York City by workers who are also paid fair wages, something that Hwa takes very seriously as a leader in the design community and a local advocate for sustainability. (Earlier this year, you might recall that Hwa won the Eileen Fisher Business Grant for Women Entrepreneurs.)
The Barstow bikini's detailed construction consists of knit pointelle and a jersey lining. The top and bottom are fully lined, the former comes with adjustable straps. Loyale's swimwear is hand washable or machine wash 'gentle' in a lingerie bag.
Congratulations to Jenny and her team at Loyale for turning heads with this hot news story and well-deserved write-up in Vogue.
Loyale Barstow Bikini retails $120

I'm basically looking for a program/app/script (can be commercial) which I can ideally install on a windows server (we can run asp, asp.net php mssql)
we have different groups of people who send newsletters to web members, I want to bring it all into one app which I can monitor and control. Ideally it would be able to create html newsletters, (with some templates) track emails and click throughs. Manage email lists subscribe/unsubscribes. And importantly have different levels of admin, so a newsletter creator could log in and create and send off an email, it goes into a queue where a communications editor can have an overview of all newsletters and approve the sending of the emails or edit them before they are sent off.
before I start coding something up myself I thought I'd ask if anyone has any advice!

SWAT officers fire bean bag at gun-toting woman
SWAT officers used a bean bag to subdue a 27-year-old woman who had barricaded herself in her home and brandished a pistol late Tuesday night in northwest Houston, officials said.
The woman threatened to shoot herself about 6:30 p.m. and then went into her home the 4000 block of Northfield Lane, according to the Houston Police Department. She emerged from the home about 11:30 p.m. holding the handgun and SWAT officers fired a bean bag at her, hitting her and subduing her. She was taken to the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County NeuroPsychiatric Center for a psychological evaluation.
The officers were not hurt.
Police said the woman, whose name has not been released, went to a nearby family member's home and picked up a handgun and returned to her home. The relative tried to take the gun from her, but the woman put the gun to her own head and threatened to shoot herself. The relative left and called 911. When officers arrived, the woman came outside to speak with them and again she threatened to shoot herself. She went back inside the home and refused to come out.
SWAT officers were called to the scene and attempted to contact her, but had no success.
The officers used an armored vehicle to break a window in the home and could see the woman peering out from other windows and holding the gun.
The woman later came outside and when she raised the gun into the air, the SWAT officers fired the bean bag at her.
No charges are expected to be filed in the case.

what was your dream about..
Islamic dreams about Horse find dream interpretations. Meanings & explanations for Horse dictionary!
Horse dream interpretations
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Seeing a
of either sex from a distance: Good augury, in view of a saying by the Holy Prophet that welfare accompanies horses till the Day of Resurrection.
• Driving a horse: The dreamer is trying to serve or seeking the service of an honest man.
• Riding on a two-winged horse: The dreamer will become a king or ruler if his stature permits. Otherwise he will simply obtain what he is aiming for.
• The runaway, bolting, or ungovernable horse: An angry and ungrateful man who takes things lightly and unconsciously. The same applies to a stubborn
• A jumping horse: Desires will be fulfilled quickly and abundance is ahead.
• The
running fast but keeping step: Things will be straight and even.
Horse Dream Explanation
— The
symbolizes power, authority, and prosperity. Its tail represents the offspring and grandchildren.
• Riding on a tamed
that goes slowly and perfectly under the horseman's command: Will enjoy power, authority, prestige, dignity, and wealth as much as the
was obedient in the dream. Tying up a
would have the same meaning.
• The longer the horse's tail, the more followers the rider has in real life. The reverse applies, in case the tail was cut off, for example. Every part, every limb, of the
represents a division of similar importance working under the ruler.
• The
bolting (taking the bit between its teeth), making it impossible for the horseman to control it: The latter will commit a sin or face a catastrophe inasmuch as the
was difficult to stop. In other words, it could mean that the dreamer would be carried away by his own whims and passions. It is all the more so if the
was spoilt as a result of good treatment, dissatisfied, or violent.
Horse Dream Explanation
— If a
dies in one's presence in a dream, it means loss of his house or business. The fit of a
in the dream represent man's own state. Descending from a
in a dream means committing a sin that will force one to resign from his position, or be dismissed from his work. A hairy
in a dream represents a large family. If the tail of one's
is cut off at its end in a dream, it means that one may come to see the death of his children and clan before his own eyes. If the tail of one's
is simply clipped in the dream, it connotes his own death and that his name will be quickly forgotten. If one is attacked by a
in a dream, it means that a noble person, or a young boy will stand to him and require a just retribution from him.
Horse Dream Explanation
— If one sees his
drowning in a dream, it means that he may die from an illness. Buying a
and tending the money to the seller in the dream means profits in one's business, or earning money from teaching. Selling one's
in a dream means doing good and being grateful for it. If one's
bites him in a dream, it means that he will lead an army in a war. If one kills a
in his dream, it means that he will be awarded status, rank and money. Slaughtering a
for other than food in a dream means spoiling one's livelihood.
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Dreaming that one's draft
has become insubordinate and one is unable to control it means the wife will have the upper hand.
• The packhorse talking to the dreamer: Plenty of money will come from the wife's side, and respectability will be enhanced.
• Making love to a packhorse: Will do a favour to one's wife and abstain from complaining of any weakness.
• Riding on a draft horse: Will embark on a distant journey and get plenty of welfare from the wife's side.
• Riding and flying with a draft horse: Will travel with one's wife, who will become somebody.
• The draft
being angry with the dreamer: His wife is an infidel.
• Death of a draft horse: Death of a wife.
• Theft of a packhorse: Divorce.
Horse Dream Explanation
— If one sees a
whose owner is not known entering a town in a dream, it means that a noble person will enter that town and people of his trade will fear his competition or his becoming a danger to their business. If such a
reverts his course and leaves that town in the dream, it means that a great, though unknown person from that locality will die shortly. Horses running across the streets in a dream represent a destructive rain or devastating floods. A feeble
in a dream represents the weakness of his owner. (Also see Dung;
fright; Nag)
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Riding, in general, is good only on earth or in horses tracks. Therefore, riding a
on the wall, on the roof, or in a sanctuary would be a bad omen, except if it was a winged
flying between heaven and earth. The latter case would mean dignity in life, travel, and deep religious faith.
• A piebald or spotted
means fame. A fair-haired one could mean either sorrow or victory, because "the angels horses were blond," asserts Ibn Siren. A man told Ibn Siren he dreamed that he was on a
with iron lances. "Then you should expect death," said the great interpreter.
Horse Dream Explanation
— A flying
with two wings in a dream means that one may be tried with affections toward a perverted boy or a woman who will tempt him then follow him. If a descendent of the family of Allah's Prophet, Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam, sees himself flying on a winged
in a dream, it means that he will rise in station and preside over people. If one sees horsemen coming through the skies in a dream, it means that a war may take place in that land. Riding a
and holding a spear in one's hand in a dream means forcing people to do something, or forcing them to pay what they owe.
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Loss of a draft horse: Wife will be immoral, obscene, and uncontrollable.
• A dog jumping over and making love to the dreamer's draft horse: A Magus (Magi or Magian) enemy is following the dreamer's wife. If the one jumping on the packhorse is a monkey, the flirting enemy is a Jew.
• A gray packhorse: A ruler or powerful man.
• A black draft horse: Money and sovereignty or supreme power.
• An unknown packhorse entering one's hometown without any material: A stranger will step in. The seahorse symbolizes a liar or something that will not materialize. (See under Muhammad for winged horses.)
Horse Dream Explanation
dying at a person's hands or in his house: The death of such a person.
• Riding on a white-footed
with a white fringe and all white harness while dressed as a full-fledged horseman: Will gain power and prestige, merit praise, and live secure from all enemies. A bay, roan, or reddish brown
would be best if the dreamer were a combatant. The salamander (a color of Arab horses) refers to dignity and disease.
• Riding on a
and making it run till it sweats: Will be overcome by passion and commit sins to earn your living. It is noteworthy that sweat emanating from running is an expenditure on some sinful matter, in view of the verse of the Holy Quran that reads: "Run (flee) not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes, in order that ye may be called to account. They said: Alas for us! Woe to us! We were indeed wrongdoers!" ("Al-Anbiyae" [The Prophets], verses 13–14.)
Horse Dream Explanation
— A nag in a dream represents a wife or a husband. A saddled
in a dream means a woman in her menstrual period, during which time it is not permissible for the husband to engage in marital intercourse with her. A gathering of horses in a dream represents a gathering of women for a funeral or a wedding. Owning a herd of horses, or taking care of their feed in a dream means presiding over people, or it could mean managing a business. If a
dies in one's presence in a dream, it means loss of his house or business. The fit of a
in the dream represent man's own state.
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Seeing a saddled but unknown stallion or mare in one's house: A woman will enter the house for sex, marriage, or a simple courtesy call. The same situation involving an unsaddled
would mean that a man would enter that house for marital purposes and the like. Draft horses or packhorses symbolize man's perseverance and struggle. They are midway between a mare and a donkey. They represent a low-class wife and a slave or servant. On the other hand, they also refer to energy, luck earned through tears and sweat, and prosperity.
• Seeing one's draft
rolling in the dust: Efforts will be stepped up, and wealth will increase.
• A yellow packhorse: Sorrow.
• If someone used to riding mares rides a draft
, his prestige will fall, his power will wane, and he might abandon his wife to go with a slave girl or a nanny.
• Conversely, if a person used to riding donkeys rides a draft
, people will talk highly of him and praise him and his income will increase. His sexual standard might also be promoted by going to bed with a free woman, rather than a slave.
• The higher and the stronger the pack
, the greater and more solid the religious faith.
Horse Dream Explanation
— (Castle; Chivalry; Generosity; Goodness; Merchant; Nobility; Partner; Son; Travels; Wife) Owning horses in a dream means prosperity, or victory over one's enemy. Riding a
in a dream means dignity, honor and wealth. Perhaps it could mean that one will befriend a noble person, or meet a good companion on the road. Owning a mare in a dream means begetting a beautiful son. If it is a nag or a workhorse in the dream, it means that he will live satisfied, or that he may marry a rich and a noble woman who will bear his children. Seeing a
in a dream also may connote owning a good house. If it is a blond
in the dream, it means knowledge, devotion, piety and fear of wrongdoing.
Horse Dream Explanation
— a
in the dream symbolises perbond status, rank, honur, dignity, power and glory. If he sees any increase in its quality and excellence it means similar increases in the quality and excellence of the above.
Horse Dream Explanation
— A nag in a dream represents a wife or a husband. A saddled
in a dream means a woman in her menstrual period, during which time it is not permissible for the husband to engage in marital intercourse with her. A gathering of horses in a dream represents a gathering of women for a funeral or a wedding. Owning a herd of horses, or taking care of their feed in a dream means presiding over people, or it could mean managing a business.
Horse Dream Explanation
— • Disagreement between the horseman and the beast: Insubordination of a slave or servant, disagreement with a business partner, or incongruity and rebellion of the wife.
• Seeing the pendent of a horse: The enemy will beat the horseman.
• Seeing horsemen flying in the air: Temptation, intrigue, and war will erupt in that place.
• Horses running bare between houses without their saddles and stirrups: Torrential rain.
• Seeing a herd of horses with saddles on their back but no stirrups: Women will gather in a wedding or a funeral.
• Owning or looking after a number of horses: The dreamer will become a governor or have more influence in his sphere.
• Riding on a saddled stallion or mare: Dignity and authority, because riding is the privilege of kings and horses are what King Solomon used to ride. Such an authority could come through a woman the dreamer would marry or a slave girl he would buy. However, such a dream would not augur well in any case if the subject rode without reins, which symbolize guidance, wisdom, religion, and command. Losing the reins would also mean that welfare will slip away.
• Falling from the back of a stallion or mare while riding bareback: Authority will wane, conditions will deteriorate, and corruption will encompass the dreamer's wife.
Mounting a
Dream Explanation
— If a person sees himself as mounting a
which has not defects at all while such a
trots slowly and gracefully, it means he will acquire honour, dignity and respectability. The same is the interpretation if he sees himself owning, acquiring or securing the
. For Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) has said : "The
. Surely, its back is a means of honour for you and its stomach a means of fortune".
A Fighting
Dream Explanation
— If a person sees the
fighting with him it means he will commit a serious crime landing himself in some misfortune whose seriousness depends on the strength of such a
Horse fright Dream Explanation
— Shying, as in a
fright, in a dream means hastening to undertake a journey, moving quickly from one place to another, or substituting one school of thought for another, adopting a new ideology, or changing one's religion. (Also see Horse) 214
A Flying
Dream Explanation
— If a person sees himself as mounted on a
which flies with him in the skies he will attain honour and dignity in both the worlds. Similar interpretation is given if he sees a
with wings. It may also mean that its owner will undertake a journey soon.

Advisers (not just university career offices) need to support their trainees to pursue internships, part-time work in relevant industries, and mentorships within industry. The occasional seminar on any given non-academic career is not enough. Similar to how physicians are required to obtain a certain number of CME credits, I think that anyone advising PhD students should be required to obtain a certain number of credits on career development so that they can become more aware of different career options and gain a better understanding of how one can prepare for different types of careers. Until advisers both respect the many career options for PhDs and have some level of understanding of different industries, I doubt that the training of students in regards to non-academic career development will ever really improve.

More than 50 years ago, in 1934, zinc essentiality was first suggested. Not until the early 1960s, however, was it known that low intake or low body stores of zinc can cause deficiency symptoms. In recent years, since the discovery that this mineral is becoming less available in our soil and thus in our food chain, zinc has been given more attention, and increased research has produced much new information. We now know that zinc is needed in probably more than 100 enzymes and is probably involved in more body functions than any other mineral. It is important in normal growth and development, the maintenance of body tissues, sexual function, the immune system, and detoxification of chemicals and metabolic irritants. Carbohydrate metabolism is influenced by zinc, and zinc is needed in the synthesis of DNA, which aids our body's healing process. Zinc is often helpful in reducing healing time after surgery or burns, in many male prostate problems, in skin diseases, and in many other difficulties.
Zinc is found in the body in small amounts, only about 2-2.5 grams total. Of the trace minerals, it is second in concentration to iron, with 33 ppm to iron's 60 ppm. (Although fluoride is found at 37 ppm in the average human body, it is still questionable whether it is essential. This 37 ppm is also a result of the use of fluoridated water, vitamins, and stannous fluoride toothpaste.) Though zinc is the twenty-fifth most abundant element in the earth's crust, measuring about 0.01 percent, it is water soluble both in the soil and in food. Rains can wash zinc (as well as iodine, sulfur, and selenium) from our farming soils, as can modern agricultural techniques. When we cook food, much of the zinc may go into the water, as do other minerals and vitamins, so the cooking liquids, especially from vegetables, should be consumed as well. More importantly, when foods are processed, as in the refining of grains, much of the zinc is lost, along with manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and B vitamins. Usually, only iron and sometimes vitamins B1 and B2 are added back in "enriched" foods (and this iron isn't even in the easily usable form). Adding zinc, manganese, chromium, and more B vitamins such as B6, would be much better and help us avoid common deficiencies.
Zinc absorption may vary from about 20-40 percent of ingested zinc, depending mainly on body needs and stomach acid concentrations. Like iron, zinc from animal foods where it is bound with proteins has been shown to be better absorbed. When bound with the phytates or oxalates found in grains and vegetables, less zinc is absorbed. Calcium, phosphorus, copper, iron, lead, and cadmium all compete with zinc for absoprtion. Milk and eggs reduce zinc absorption. Fiber foods, bran, and phytates, found mainly in the outer covering of grains, may also inhibit zinc absorption. Phytic acid may combine with the zinc in the upper intestine before this mineral can be absorbed.
The zinc-cadmium relationship is interesting. Cadmium is considered a potentially toxic heavy metal. When it contaminates our food, it is found in the center of grain; zinc is found mainly in the grain covering. So eating whole grains, which have a higher amount of zinc than of cadmium, will reduce any possible absorption of cadmium. With refining of grains into flour, the zinc-cadmium ratio is decreased, and cadmium is more likely to be absorbed and cause problems.
In the human body, the 2.5 grams of zinc are stored in a variety of tissues. It is most concentrated in the prostate and semen, which suggests zinc's tie to male sexual function (impotence can be related to low zinc). The next most concentrated tissues are the retina of the eye, heart, spleen, lungs, brain, and adrenal glands. The skin contains a high amount of zinc, but it is less concentrated than in the organ tissues. Nails, hair, and teeth also have some zinc, and this mineral is important to those tissues as well.
Zinc is eliminated through the gastrointestinal tract in the feces. Some is also eliminated in the urine; alcohol use increases urinary losses of zinc. Zinc is also lost in the sweat, possibly as much as 2-3 mg. in a day. Stress, burns, surgery, and weight loss all seem to increase body losses of zinc.
In evaluating body zinc status, plasma or serum zinc levels may not reflect body stores; however, if they are low, zinc is likely deficient. Low hair levels appear to reflect zinc deficiency, which then should be substantiated through a blood test. High hair zinc levels may also be seen with zinc deficiency, though this is not as correlative as low hair levels. In general, the red blood cell (or white blood cell) measurement of zinc may be most indicative of the body's true status of zinc nutriture.
Sources: Most animal foods contain adequate amounts of zinc. Oysters are particularly high, with more than ten times as much as other sources (they are also high in copper and, possibly, in ocean-polluting chemicals and metals). Zinc is added to animal feeds to increase growth rates, so meat usually contains high amounts. Red meats (beef, lamb, and pork) and liver are fairly high; herring is good, as are egg yolks and milk products (though the zinc in eggs and milk products may not be as available to the body as that found in other sources). Other fish and poultry also contain fair zinc levels. As with iron, the zinc in animal foods seems to be better absorbed than that in the vegetable sources, but one can reduce meat foods and eat whole grains and beans and still obtain adequate zinc. Overall, though, in my experience it is not easy for most people eating a relatively healthy diet to obtain the minimum requirement of 15 mg. daily unless they focus on zinc-containing foods.
Whole grains such as whole wheat, rye, and oats are rich in zinc and are good sources for vegetarians. Even though the mineral from these foods is utilized less well because the fiber and phytates in the grain covering bind some zinc in the gastrointestinal tract, much of the zinc in these foods is still available to the body. Nuts are fairly good sources, with pecans and Brazil nuts the highest. Pumpkin seeds contain zinc and are thought to be helpful to the prostate gland. Ginger root is a good zinc source, as are mustard, chili powder, and black pepper. In general, fruits and vegetables are not good zinc sources, although peas, carrots, beets, and cabbage contain some zinc.
The zinc in grains is found mainly in the germ and bran coverings, so refining them will lower the zinc content. Approximately 80 percent of zinc is lost in making white flour from whole wheat. Since zinc is soluble in water, canning foods or cooking in water can cause zinc losses. Zinc losses have also been prevalent in agricultural soils, and it is therefore less available in foods. Chemical fertilizers also decrease zinc soil levels. Many soils-nearly 30 states in the United States-are deficient in zinc. Water, especially from some wells, contains zinc. Water was a better source when some of the water pipes were galvanized (containing zinc), as were some cooking pots. Now, water pipes are more commonly made of copper, which can become toxic at higher levels.
Functions: Zinc is involved in a multitude of human body functions and is part of many enzyme systems. With regard to metabolism, zinc is part of alcohol dehydrogenase, which helps the liver detoxify alcohols, including ethanol (drinking alcohol), methanol, ethylene glycol, and retinol (vitamin A). Zinc is also thought to help utilize and maintain body levels of vitamin A. Through this action, zinc may help maintain healthy skin cells and thus may be helpful in generating new skin after burns or injury. By helping collagen formation, zinc may also improve wound healing. Zinc aids the skin's oil glands and so may help in acne problems.
Zinc is needed for lactate and malate dehydrogenases, both important in energy production. Zinc is a cofactor for the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, which helps contribute phosphates to bones. Zinc is also part of bone and tooth structure. Zinc is important to male sex organ function and reproductive fluids.
It is in high concentration in the prostate gland as well as in the eye, liver, and muscle tissues suggesting its functions in those areas.
Zinc in carboxypeptidase (a digestive enzyme) helps in protein digestion. Zinc is important for synthesis of nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA. In fact, we are finding that zinc has some antioxidant function. As part of superoxide dismutase (SOD), it helps protect cells from free radicals. Through this antioxidant effect, zinc is also helpful in cell membrane structure and function.
Zinc has also been shown to support immune function. Zinc will improve antibody response to vaccines and can improve cell-mediated immunity by helping regulate the function of the white blood cells. A somewhat higher amount of zinc has caused an increase in production of T lymphocytes, important agents in cell-mediated immunity.
Zinc is important to normal insulin activity and seems related to normal taste sensation. Zinc may have an anti-inflammatory function, especially in the joints and artery linings. It may also be involved in brain function, in maintaining acid-alkaline balance through carbonic anhydrase, another zinc-containing enzyme, and in phosphorus metabolism.
More research is needed on this important mineral. As zinc, due to its function in many enzymes, is so important to chemical detoxification and our ability to handle environmental chemicals and toxins, zinc deficiency may be an underlying factor in those people who become environmentally sensitive. This is just one example of where further zinc research may be valuable.
Uses: Just as it has many functions, zinc has a wide variety of clinical uses. Some of these regularly show very positive results; other uses have variable outcomes, and some new therapeutic trials are under way.

For Immediate Release
October 12, 2010
(PHILADELPHIA PA) – Moore College of Art & Design is pleased to announce that Foundation Chair and Professor Moe Brooker has been named the Artist of the Year by Governor Edward G. Rendell of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Governor Rendell will present the awards to Brooker and four other awardees at 7 pm on Tuesday, November 30, at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater.
First Lady Judge Marjorie O. Rendell made the announcement September 23, 2010. The honorees were selected from a field of more than 70 nominations submitted by arts organizations, artists, arts patrons, elected officials and the public. In addition to Brooker's Artist of the Year Award, the Governor's Awards for the Arts include:
Distinguished Arts Award Charles Dutoit, chief conductor of The Philadelphia Orchestra Pennsylvania Creative Community Award Cultural leader John Vanco of Erie, director of the Erie Art Museum
Patron Award Carole Price Shanis and Joseph Shanis of Philadelphia
Outstanding Arts Leadership & Service to Youth Award ArtsQuest, Bethlehem arts organization that began as a downtown music festival in 1984
The annual awards are a 30-year gubernatorial tradition honoring outstanding Pennsylvania artists, arts organizations and patrons who have made significant contributions to the advancement of the arts.
"Each of these honorees has made indelible contributions to the vitality of the arts in their communities over decades," said First Lady Rendell. "They exemplify the commitment of Pennsylvania's artists, arts organizations and arts patrons to beauty, creativity, and the value of the arts to the future of Pennsylvania."

Another quilt made using my newly released Wonky Pods pattern, this time I used a strip piecing technique to create random/crazy pieced blocks without borders, and substituted these for the wonky cut pattern blocks. The quilt finishes up at about 56" x 57" so is a great lap/throw size. It uses a mixture of prints from my stash - Botanics, Mormor, Alison glass text prints ... and a few others. I find when creating crazy pieced blocks it's good to have at least 10 fabrics - preferably more.
I FMQed it in an all-over meandering, I love the texture and how it crinkles after washing, this is definitely my current go-to quilting style.
It is backed with a vintage sheet.

Pragmatism and personality: The Muuto shelving system Mini Stacked controls both categories. It absorbs a lot, without letting things submerge in between the mass.
According to the designer Julien De Smed, while developing Stacket, it was the aim to create a generalist and also specific shelving system. The problem is hidden behind that: common shelves are perfectly designed to suit their future content (e. g. folders) or also suitable for "everything and nothing" at the same time. With Muuto Stacked however, it is you deciding – this liberty has no limits.
The Stacked Mini shelving system thereby enlarges the already nearby infinite combination possibilities of the classic Muuto Stacked. This is how it is possible for you to combine your shelving system completely according to your individual demands: Everything is possible, nothing a must. Just that is what makes the Muuto Stacked that unmistakable, unique and versatile.

Gov. Sam Brownback says Kansas employers will save millions of dollars this year under a bill adjusting their payments to the unemployment trust fund.
Brownback scheduled a signing ceremony for the legislation Tuesday at Cerner Corp. in Kansas City, Kan. Executives from the electronic health records company planned to attend, along with state Labor Secretary Lana Gordon and officials of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.
Brownback's office says the bill will save businesses as much as $42 million in the taxes they pay into the jobless trust fund. Employers with a positive account in the fund will see a 15 percent cut in rates.
The measure also provides a discounted rate to non-construction employers who open businesses in Kansas.
