Welcome to the Department of Family & Consumer Sciences at the University of Central Arkansas! My name is Rachel Schichtl, and I am the DPD Director. It is my pleasure to introduce you to our program.
We have several scholarship opportunities for Nutrition Majors, see the video here for more information.
Bachelor of Science in Nutrition
The mission of the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) at the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) is to:
- Prepare graduates who have the academic preparation necessary for success in an internship in dietetics /nutrition and other career opportunities.
- Provide students with the concepts of the interdependence of human nutrition and food in the health and behavior of individuals and with a general foundation of food service systems management.
The UCA Didactic Program in Dietetics will:
- Prepare graduates to be competent for entry into supervised practice or other post-graduate programs through high-quality educational offerings.
- Prepare competent nutrition practitioners.
ACEND (Accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics)
The Didactic Program in Dietetics at the University of Central Arkansas is currently accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, Illinois 60606-6995 (Phone: 800/877-1600). ACEND website: https://www.eatrightpro.org/acend. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in degree, also called the Didactic Program in Dietetics, students are eligible to apply for entry into a supervised practice program (dietetic internship) which will make them eligible to take the Registration Examination for dietitians. At the undergraduate level, this degree emphasizes the knowledge and skills essential for competent entry-level dietetics practice.
Supervised practice programs, which include dietetic internships are available across the United States. Completion of one of these programs is required to become eligible to take the Registration Examination for Dietitians. For students enrolled in a Didactic Program in Dietetics and wish to become a Registered Dietitian (RD), the pathway to the RD credential is:
- Earn a Bachelor of Science degree from an ACEND accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics. At that time, students are provided with a verification statement that allows them to apply for entry into a dietetic internship*.
- Successfully complete a ACEND accredited dietetic internship.
- Pass the Registration Exam for Dietitians.
Students may not apply for entry into a dietetic internship until the Didactic Program in Dietetics has been successfully completed. Likewise, students are not eligible to sit for the registration exam until they have successfully completed their supervised practice program;
2024 CDR Mandate (Standard 9, Required Element 9.3.d): Effective January 1, 2024, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) will require a minimum of a master's degree to be eligible to take the credentialing exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). In addition, CDR requires that individuals complete coursework and supervised practice in program(s) accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
*Students should be aware that a review of the data on the demand for dietetic internships in relation to the number of available positions indicates that the supply is not keeping up with demand. The data are being provided, by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), so that students who are currently enrolled in Didactic Programs in Dietetics (DPD) or those who are considering becoming a Registered Dietitian (RD) are aware of this situation in order to make informed career decisions. Students should visit with their DPD Director to assess individual progress toward this goal. Students should also visit http://www.eatright.org/internship_availability/ for more information and for suggestions to improve their chances of getting into a dietetic internship

No, you are confusing two completely different issues. To support OpenMP you need a single address space which spans the processors. You can have cache coherent communication interfaces which do not implement such a thing. (If it's still the same as it was at Meiko, the Quadrics is an example of such an interface). What Quadrics provides is an explicit remote store access model. You can perform reads or writes cache coherently to a remote process' address space, but you have to know that you're doing a remote access and do something different to achieve it. You can't just indirect through some random pointer and have that fetch data. OpenMP assumes a single address space within which pointers can be passed around freely, so will not implement easily on top of an interface like Quadrics, even though that is (I believe) cache coherent at both ends. Languages which are built on an explicit remote store access model include Co-Array Fortran http://www.co-array.org UPC http://hpc.gwu.edu/~upc Titanium http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/titanium/ in these languages the compiler always knows which accesses may be remote. Of course such languages can also run on SMP boxes and use a "genuinely" shared memory (and, indeed one might hope that the extra information available in such languages allows the compiler to generate better code for such a machine than one can generate from OpenMP, since it should be able to avoid much false sharing). -- Jim James Cownie <jcownie at etnus.com> Etnus, LLC. +44 117 9071438 http://www.etnus.com

Norwich 2 - Sunderland 0: Canaries outclass 10 man Black Cats
CHRIS HUGHTON'S Norwich side always seem to deliver the goods when their manager's position is under threat and that proved the case once again as they outclassed 10-man Sunderland at Carrow Road.
With Premier League survival the target for both sides on show in Norfolk it was Hughton's Canaries who deservedly ran out 2-0 winners with Robert Snodgrass opening the scoring early on.
Alexander Tettey added the second with a contender for goal of the season and Marcos Alonso was sent off late on for a second yellow card after Norwich had been better than Sunderland in every position.
The Norwich players once again seemed to play for their manager, who has come under pressure in recent weeks. Victories over West Ham, Crystal Palace and Hull came at times earlier in the campaign when the strain on Hughton was at its highest and this win certainly ranks in that category.
The victory moves Norwich up to 13th and, more importantly, seven points clear of the relegation zone while Gus Poyet has a job on his hands to keep Sunderland afloat.
The hosts were on top from the off, forcing a number of set-pieces which all failed to test Vito Mannone in the Sunderland goal, with the Italian not forced into action until Jonny Howson's drive was hit straight into his arms.
The former Arsenal goalkeeper could do nothing about Snodgrass' opener in the 20th minute after a mix-up in the Black Cats' defence.
Wes Brown failed to clear a low cross and the ball fell kindly at the feet of Johan Elmander, who calmly slotted a pass for Snodgrass to steer past Mannone and put the Canaries ahead.
Howson came close to adding a second five minutes later as the hosts continued to completely dominate, this time arrowing an effort towards the corner only to see Mannone deny him once more.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel, without a goal since the opening day draw against Everton, should have poked home a chance when Elmander's low drive across goal found the Dutchman but he could not get enough contact on the ball to turn it home from six yards out.
The second goal did not take too long to arrive and when it did it was straight out of the top drawer.
John O'Shea headed clear a cross but the dropping ball was hit on the volley by Tettey and it flashed past Mannone and into the far corner.
Poyet's reaction to falling two goals behind was to make a pair of tactical substitutions before the break, hauling off Ki Sung-yeung and Jack Colback and replacing them with Seb Larsson and Lee Cattermole.
Fabio Borini finally forced a save out of John Ruddy as he shot across the England international, who easily kept hold of the low drive - but that was the best the visitors could muster from a woeful first-half display.
Alonso, who had already been cautioned for a foul on Snodgrass, was shown a second yellow card by referee Phil Dowd in injury time.
Substitute Nathan Redmond came close at the death but it would have only added the gloss to an important win for Norwich - which will again go some way to keeping the pressure off Hughton.

One of the strongest bonds in Newport-Mesa is evident in how local businesses support community needs and causes.
The financial commitment of business assisting local health and welfare, education and social services is a hallmark of community goodwill. This has developed through the decades into a strong tradition. Clearly, it is a tradition that is good for business and good for society.
In old Newport Beach, a pub and dining room on the Balboa Peninsula that we fondly know as Malarky's was established in 1977 by Newport restaurateur Bill Hamilton Sr. Hamilton, who also founded the iconic Cannery Restaurant on the waterfront, opened Malarky's Irish Pub in one of the original early 20th century structures on Newport Boulevard near City Hall.
After 33 years in business, Hamilton retired and sold Malarky's to Newport Beach resident and youthful restaurateur Mario Marovic, the entrepreneur behind Corona del Mar's successful Landmark Steakhouse on East Coast Highway and other restaurant/pubs in Orange County. As both a resident and businessman in the community, Marovic's goal is to be a steward of good citizenship, fostering and promoting the relationship between business and community.
He is working with Newport Beach officials on a redevelopment and expansion plan of the old Malarky's to include a new restaurant with the pub. The City Council recently granted conditional approval for the expansion with negotiation of details ongoing.
In an interview, Marovic, a thirtysomething maverick businessman whose family roots hail from Split, Croatia, emphasized with seriousness his role of partnering with the community.
"Malarky's recently sponsored an event for Newport Elementary School where we had parents of the local children guest bartending to help raise funds for Newport Elementary," Marovic said.
"John Wodsworth, Barry Walshe and John Barron stood behind the bar and raised more than $2,000, with all of the profits from the night going to Newport Elementary," he added. "The evening was such a success [that] the school is planning a second event before summer."
The enthusiastic Marovic proudly shared that the success of the Newport Elementary event has fostered a similar plan for Mariners Elementary School in Newport Beach. Parents of Mariners school children plan to raffle off guest bartending positions to help raise even more money for the school. A date for the night at Malarky's will be set later this spring.
"On April 14, we are hosting Orangewood Children's Foundation for a $25 per person prime rib dinner in our restaurant, with all profits going to Orangewood," Marovic said. "Tickets are on sale now for this great cause. Just call Malarky's to make your reservation."
Working for local schools and the Orangewood Children's Home are just a part of Marovic's involvement with the community. He and his staff have also taken on the role of helping local individuals in need.
On Feb. 28, Malarky's raised funds for a member of the local culinary industry who was critically injured in a bicycle accident. Monies raised were donated to assist this man in covering his loss of income due to the accident. More than 300 people converged on Malarky's to contribute to the assistance drive.
The renovation of the pub's parking area has also been put to community use. Marovic turned the lot into a classic car fundraiser honoring the memory of cancer victim Brad Williams in a second annual event that raised significant money donated to the Hoag Cancer Center in Williams' name.
"It is very important to me to have a connection to this community on a level that matters to my customers," Marovic said. "It's not just because it is good business, but it is because so many people in the community have so many fond memories of Malarky's. it is simply a part of their lives, which makes it all the more important to support the schools, Hoag Hospital, and the people in the community who need help. That is, after all, the great honored tradition of a community pub and restaurant."
For more information on the upcoming events, including reservations for the Orangewood Prime Rib Dinner fundraiser, call Malarky's at (949) 675-2340.
THE CROWD runs Thursdays and Saturdays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

When asked about her ardor for music, Lea Salonga replies, "Why not music?"
Having grown up needing little to no encouragement to take on an audience, the Tony- and Olivier Award-winning Filipina singer calls her career choice a "no-brainer."
"My mother recalls me standing on the living room table with the end of a plug as a microphone, and I'd sing at family parties," Salonga said. "It apparently didn't take much prodding to get me to perform."
Salonga will sing for the first time at the Segerstrom Center at 8 p.m. Saturday. Her special, one-night only performance is part of the center's Cabaret Series.
"Ms. Salonga is one of Broadway's greatest talents who has thrilled audiences nationally and internationally as both the star of large-scale musicals and as a solo performance artist," said Segerstrom Center President Terry Dwyer in an email. "We could not be more excited about sharing [her] very special talents with our enthusiastic Orange County audiences."
Over the course of her career, Salonga has worked under the tutelage of nurturing producers, composers and musical directors who recognized her natural talent and "pushed to get it out." The role played by her family, however, is incomparable.
"Without my family's support and encouragement, none of this would be possible," she said. "My family still plays a significant part — my brother Gerard creates many of my arrangements and orchestrations; my mom manages my career in the Philippines, and various cousins help me out when I perform in the U.S., especially in Southern California."
Starting out at the age of seven with "The King and I," the soprano songstress' 30-year career includes roles in "Miss Saigon," "Aladdin," "Mulan," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and others. She also recently starred in "God of Carnage" and "Allegiance," a workshopped production with actor George Takei.
According to Salonga, being the first Asian to play Eponine and Fantine in "Les Misérables" on Broadway was "truly a crazy thing."
"It's certainly testimony to having dogged determination and a producer that believes in what I can do," she said. "I wanted to prove that it could be done — that the suspension of disbelief could be extended a bit further."

Who: Lea Salonga
Where: Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, 615 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa

We are very (and we mean very) happy to announce that Panoramio will be acquired by Google.
The integration of photos from Panoramio in Google Earth has been so successful since John Hanke suggested it that we see the acquisition of Panoramio as a natural consequence. We have tightened our relationship with Google Earth more and more in recent months, and at the end we decided to walk one step further. After so much work together, honestly, we couldn't imagine a better scenario than selling Panoramio to Google. Most people upload their photos to Panoramio to share them through Google Earth, and it's way cool to see Panoramio's photos in Google Earth, so the upcoming acquisition reaffirms the current win-win situation.
For now, our user interface will not change; accounts, urls, features... We will keep working for Panoramio as a team, but this time using Google infrastructure as Panoramio further integrates into Google's mapping technologies. We will also keep answering e-mails directly as much as possible.
The upcoming acquisition will bring many advantages to Panoramio users, starting with a better infrastructure to improve the reliability of Panoramio, more frequent updates of Panoramio's Google Earth layer, and more resources for some invisible tasks that take time out from working on new features.
To watch our little project grow since its conception one and a half years ago has been an amazing experience, and we hope to make it even bigger with this step and with your continued support. We have worked hard to arrive to this point, but we know we could not do it without all of you, the wonderful community of people that upload their best photos to Panoramio. You deserve all the credit. There are no words to say how honoured we feel when someone decides to choose Panoramio for sharing their photos.
We have lots of ideas in the pipeline. Our baby is still growing, so stay tuned!
José, Joaquín and Eduardo

Luis' Apartment
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the player is supplied with only one safehouse in the form of an apartment in North Holland, which serves as Luis Fernando Lopez's home. The safehouse is available upon completion of the first mission of the game, "I Luv LC".
Located in a historic building at Galveston Avenue towards Wardite Street in North Holland, Algonquin, the apartment is only a block away from Playboy X's penthouse and L.C. Cage Fighters. The apartment is also located one block north from the Holland Hospital Center, two blocks north from the Northwood Burger Shot restaurant, one block west of Algonquin's only TW@ Internet cafe, and two blocks south from Luis' mother's residence. Facing Galveston Avenue, the safehouse is also located along the same street as Maisonette 9, which is situated down the road in The Meat Quarter.
Based on the ground floor, the interior of Luis' apartment encompasses only two compact rooms. The main room serves as a living area, dining area and kitchen, while the second room, separated only by curtains, houses the apartment's bedroom. A second door next to the bedroom, presumably leading to the bathroom, is inaccessible. While modest in size, the apartment is considerably tidy and well furnished with tasteful decors.
The apartment provides the player with the usual amenities, including a bed in the bedroom to save games, a flatscreen television, and access to Luis' preset wardrobe; Internet access is not available in the safehouse. A "Residents Parking Only" parking space that can support up to two vehicles is also provided outside, however, it is placed in a spot where cars will constantly drive into the cars it holds.
After the completion of all 15 Base Jumps a Parachute is also found in the apartment.
Apart the usual facilities, the apartment contains multiple detailing that paint a picture of Luis' personality:
- Three military portraits of Luis' father are hung up around the apartment: One in the living area, another over the dining table, and the third picture in the bedroom.
- Similarly, a photograph of Luis and his mother is hung over the dining table, next to one of his father's portraits.
- A Higgins Helitours "Chopper Operator Certificate" with Luis' name is hung next to the entranceway into the bedroom.
- A dumbbell set can be found at the corner of the bedroom, indicating Luis may have worked out.
- A black gaming console is placed next to the apartment's entertainment center, bearing a "TOSHI" brand, implying Luis is interested in video games to some degree. The design of the console implies it to be a parody fusion of both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
- A miniature Brown Streak figure is placed on the entertainment center.
- The apartment has substantial collections of magazines, movies and music CDs.
- The default music playing in Luis' apartment is always set to San Juan Sounds.
- On the bookcase in the living area, a magazine features Millie Perkins' character model.
- It is possible that Gay Tony bought the apartment for Luis before going into debt.
- On the calendar Luis has, the dates circled were supposed to be the release date of the game for the PlayStation 3 and PC (before it was delayed).
- TBoGT is the only game in the Grand Theft Auto series to include only one safehouse. You may still use all of your previous vehicle save points, however they will not be marked on your map.
- The console next to the TV is not plugged in, Even though the light on the front is on,
- Due to an oversight error on the behalf of a level designer, there's a fire hydrant on the curb next to the parking bay, clearly breaking basic parking laws.
- The stereo in the apartment can not be turned off by shooting it.
- You can easily see Luis' apartment in GTA IV (Especially when you have Playboy X's place, as it only a few blocks away) It looks 100% same as in TBOGT, except without the parking space limits. Therefore, it is the only safehouse in the GTA IV Era that doesn't go through changes.

Chris Elsberry: Rowe makes Olympic trip after all
STORRS -- The picture was a constant reminder every time Geno Auriemma walked into Dee Rowe's office.
A reminder of a dream that never came true.
On the wall was a photo of the 1980 United States Olympic men's basketball team. There on a knee in the front row, third from the right, is Rowe, blond hair tinged with gray, dressed in a blue USA warm-up suit. He was going to be one of the assistant coaches under good friend and former Providence head coach Dave Gavitt, who would lead the team to Moscow and defend its gold medal.
Only ... the team never went.
On Christmas Eve, 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. President Jimmy Carter said that unless the Soviets withdrew their troops, the United States would not participate in the Olympics that next summer. Russia refused. So, the USA, along with China, Japan, West Germany, Canada and 60 other countries, boycotted the games.
Dee Rowe's dream of being part of the Olympics was lost.
As a consolation, the basketball team -- led by Indiana's Isiah Thomas, De Paul's Mark Aguirre, Kentucky's Sam Bowie, Kansas' Darnell Valentine, Notre Dame's Bill Hanzlik and Louisville's Rodney McCray -- participated in a "Gold Medal Series" of games against four different NBA all-star teams. The Olympic team went 5-1, also beating France and the 1976 U.S. Olympic team.
And while the exhibition tour might have softened the blow about not going to Moscow, for Rowe, it was bittersweet. Many of those basketball players would go onto the NBA and have futures in sports. But for many of the other athletes, their one shot at glory was gone.
"I felt worse for the people whose sports didn't go on," Rowe said. "The (United States) soccer team, (UConn coach) Joe Morrone's son (Joe Jr.) was on that team ... Andy Bessette, who runs the golf tournament (Travelers Championship) now, he was on that (track) team (hammer throw) and they didn't go. I felt worse for the people that didn't have a tomorrow."
Fast forward to 2010. Auriemma is at the Winged Foot Club in New York City, receiving the Club's award as the winning women's coach for the 2010 NCAA championships. That night, Rowe "presented" Auriemma by reading an opening statement. And afterwards, Auriemma -- who had already been named the head coach for the 2012 Olympic women's basketball team -- spoke about Rowe's disappointment at not being able to go in 1980.
"I remember Geno saying, `I'm hoping to take him with me when we go,' " Rowe said. "And then we'd never talked about it since."
Making it happen Fast forward again to the summer of 2012. Rowe is called into UConn athletic director Warde Manuel's office.
"He told me they wanted me to go to the London Olympics as a university ambassador," Rowe said. "Geno had already spoken with him and Warde and Susan Herbst, the president, thought it was great. They all made it possible but Geno was the guy that said he was going to make it happen."
For Auriemma, the hardest part was how to get Rowe there.
"I thought, I can't bring him along as part of my group, part of USA Basketball because he's not a coach, he's not on my staff," Auriemma said. "When, all of a sudden, I found out that 250 (UConn alumni) people were going to be there and I said, `Perfect, we need someone to represent UConn.` Who's better? If you're having an event and you want someone to represent UConn, it's Dee Rowe. So that's when it all kind of came together. It was perfect."
How many times had Auriemma walked into Rowe's office and seen that 1980 Olympic photo in his 27 seasons working at UConn? Hundreds? Thousands? It silently ate him up inside knowing that someone as passionate as Rowe was toward basketball during his playing and coaching days (he coached the UConn men from 1969-77) never got to participate in the Olympics.
"I knew the story," Auriemma said. "Every time you go into Dee's office, from the very first time, I remember, you walk in there and there's a picture of the 1980 Olympic team. So, we talked about it a lot over the years, his experience with the team and how they barnstormed around the country and played a lot of teams, so I've been well aware of it for a long, long time."
Auriemma was also aware that once he was named the 2012 Olympics coach, he had to get Rowe to London.
"Everyone seemed to forget that in 1980, Dee was an assistant and he don't go because of the boycott," Auriemma said. "I know how much that meant to a traditionalist like Dee. I mean, he holds that very close to his heart. He loves basketball and he loves the ability to represent USA Basketball, that's one of the most important things in his life. So, when I had the opportunity to do that, it was just a matter of figuring out how it was going to get done."
Auriemma went to Manuel, pitched the alumni ambassador role (it really didn't take much pitching at all, Manuel was "sold" after five minutes, according to Auriemma) and shortly thereafter, Geno told Dee the news.
"I was just so shocked and taken by it. I still can't believe it," Rowe said.
London-bound Rowe and his wife, Ginny, arrived in London on Aug. 10, seeing the United States team play four times, including the gold medal game. He renewed acquaintances with Duke coach (and men's Olympic head coach) Mike Krzyzewski and (Syracuse coach, Olympic assistant) Jim Boeheim and was the center of attention at the UConn Alumni function.
"We had 250 people there and having Dee there made it all work. He had a great time," Auriemma said. "He got to be part of the Olympic experience. This might have been a real good capper for Dee's career. And it couldn't happen to a better person. Dee's been a real mentor to me the whole time that I've been there (at UConn) and I couldn't think of anyone else that I'd rather share that with other than him."
And when Auriemma said those same words to the crowd at the function, Rowe couldn't help but become emotional.
"I was truly taken by it all," Rowe said. "I was overwhelmed. We're having this big reception and I'm just standing in the corner and Geno starts talking about me ..." Moved by the memory, Rowe stopped and pulled a laminated card from his shirt pocket. It was the funeral card for Gavitt, who died on Sept. 16, 2011 at the age of 73.
"He was the one that made it possible for me (to be an assistant) and I only wish he could have been there to share it," Rowe said. "I still carry this (card) around. Dave Gavitt was my dear, dear friend ... he made such a difference in my life."
And Rowe has made a difference in the lives of so many others. Most especially at UConn.
"He touches academics, he touches basketball, he touches everybody. He always has a sense of pride about this university. I just enjoy being around him," said UConn women's associate head coach Chris Dailey. "Dee Rowe is a legend. I don't think I've gone anywhere in the country where someone at a university or a college doesn't know Dee. Just talking to him is a treat. Every day I get a chance to say `hi' to him. He just knows so many people and has had so many experiences, I certainly knew that was one disappointment that he had, that he never got to go to the Olympics." That disappointment is now gone.
During the week he was there, Rowe said he was moved by the incredible Olympic spirit.
"You'd go into the Olympic Park area next to the basketball and there's all the people, every race, creed, color, people of every national origin getting along," Rowe said. "It was like an incredible peace and spirit that would give anyone a great, positive feeling about life and sports. You couldn't help but be moved by what went on." And for someone like Rowe, 83, who's survived four different cancer surgeries, seeing that spirit and those positive feelings made him feel young again.
"It's like healing," he said. "It just did something for me."
Like Rowe does for UConn.
"I think that Dee has a special relationship with our program," Dailey said. "He's got a special relationship with a lot of people but I think he has a special relationship with Geno and our program. He just means so much to us.. Dee has just done so much for so many people and this university in all different facets of his life, as a coach, as a fundraiser, as a story-teller. I can't tell you what he means to us."
Auriemma can.
"Dee's the kind of guy that is very emotional and he has such great passion for the game and the people that play the game, for the coaches and for the whole Olympic experience," Auriemma said. "There were times over there, especially when he had our photos taken with all six of the (UConn) players and him and we presented him with a ball, you could tell that this was a point in his life that he thought would never come. And for it to happen and for it to mean as much as it did, that was one of the best parts of the whole experience for me. It was unbelievable."

Every now and then, H makes an excellent salad using cottage cheese. The salad is not only healthy and tasty, but also quite filling- unlike most salads I've eaten. Adding cottage cheese to what is otherwise an ordinary salad turns it into a tasty and substantial meal. There is no dressing used here except for a good squirt of a juicy lime. The cheese helps bring the salad together. This is a very versatile salad and lends itself to many variations, so feel free to use whatever vegetables you have available.
Here's what went into my salad-
(Serves 2-3)
Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Onion, thinly sliced
Cucumber, diced
Cherry tomatoes, halved
3-4 green chillies, minced
3 cups salad mix
1 ½ cups Cottage cheese (I used low-fat)
½ cup cooked Rosematta rice (optional- I only used this because I had some leftover from the previous day)
Juice of 1-2 limes (about 4 Tbsp)
1 Tbsp honey
Place the chopped vegetables and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the cottage cheese only when ready to serve and fold into the rest of the salad. Serve cold.

Student Employment
Listen to a WCSU Media Podcast. Episode: WCSU Student Employment (recorded November 2018)
Effective August 2019
All Student Employment opportunities will be posted on this website.
Fall 2019 – Spring 2020 employment opportunities will be posted starting in August 2019. Check back for job posts and/or inquire directly with departments!
All student employees must be matriculated in at least 6 credits per semester to remain eligible to work on campus during the regular academic year (fall/spring).
NOTE: To be eligible for Summer employment, students are not required to be enrolled for summer courses, but must be enrolled in at least 6 credits in the subsequent fall term.
Student employment is an integral part of the university and of university life for many students. Student labor benefits the school in almost every academic and administrative department on campus. The student's employment can be related to his/her major and/or interests and work schedules can be arranged around the student's academic schedule.
Western Connecticut State University employs approximately 600 students during the academic year. The types of jobs available are as diverse as the students themselves. There is a complete list of jobs and their descriptions available for students to examine in the Office of Student Financial Services.
Students are paid biweekly with an hourly rate of pay contingent on the difficulty of the position and the experience of the student. The first paycheck is held back for two weeks, as required by the state.
There are two major funding sources for the student labor force at Western Connecticut State University:
- The Federal Work Study Program
- The Institutional Payroll
The Federal Work Study Program is a federally funded program based on financial need. Because the program is financially need based, work experience is not the qualifying factor. In order to work under the Federal College Work Study Program, a student must have financial need, as determined by FAFSA. Work Study funding is limited.
The dollar amount awarded under the Work-Study Program to a student on his/her Award Letter, is not a guaranteed receivable. It is a fair estimate of what a student could earn.
Work-Study is an allotment that students can earn if they have a job on campus. It is not money that is directly deferred on their bill, or automatically applied while they are working.
If a student does not put in the necessary hours or is released from employment for just cause, the money shown on the Award Letter will not be obtained.
The Institutional Payroll is not based on a students financial need in relation to qualifying under the federal programs. Students are employed under this program based on the needs of the department, the availability of funds, and the student's experience in specific areas.
All federal and state funds are subject to federal and state regulations and Western Connecticut State University will comply as mandated.
Federal Tax Information
Any funds received from scholarships, benefits, fellowships, WCSU or any other source that combined exceed the cost of tuition, fees, books, required equipment and supplies are considered taxable income. These include federal Pell Grants, but not federal loans. The borrower is required to report taxable awards to the IRS as income and therefore should keep a detailed record of all expenditures. Housing and food are considered nonexempt, so money spent on these items is subject to income tax.
Please note that International Students on F1 or J1 Visa must obtain work permission prior to applying for on or off campus employment.
WestConn Works is a service provided by the Career Success Center.
Your Westconn Works account provides you with access to review internship/external job opportunities.
First time users must create a WestConn Works account.

At least baseball had a rainout excuse when it came to the unfortunate-for-ratings start time of this afternoon's Tigers-Rangers affair. It has nowhere to hide when it comes to tonight's next installment of the NLCS, which will attempt to compete directly for eyeballs with Monday Night Football—and at a time when the unbeaten Lions are playing.
Still, it's playoff baseball, and it's Edwin Jackson starting for St. Louis and Shaun Marcum going for Milwaukee. If you're watching, and you want to talk about it with other internet people who are also watching, by all means do so in the comments.

April showers bring May flowers......and bugs. Bees make their appearance every spring, and every year the sight of this bug sends me into a tizzy.
Last weekend I had the chance to sit on my back deck and enjoy the warm spring weather. However, my relaxing time was interrupted by an uninvited guest, a honey bee. This little bee kept buzzing around me and landing in my hair, in my cup, just about everywhere! (I screamed like a little girl flailing my arms and running for the house.) Even though my annoyance (and fright) for this little bee persisted throughout the afternoon, I remembered an article I recently read in National Geographic and realized we may have something in common. We both enjoy coffee and the boost of energy we receive from it!
That's right; it looks like humans aren't the only ones getting a buzz on coffee. A recent study suggests that caffeine from the flower of coffee plants actually helps increase honeybees memory. To read more about this study check out this article.
Lesson learned: the next time I become annoyed by a little bee, I'll remember our common bond!

They were nothing special covering kicks
Patriots vow to tackle their next challenge
FOXBOROUGH — Patriots special teams captain Matthew Slater appeared to be in no mood to discuss his group's performance on kickoff coverage against the Texans when media descended upon Gillette Stadium Monday to rehash Sunday's win and start looking ahead to the AFC Championship game.
Though he is one of 11 players on the field, Slater takes it personally when the kick coverage team does not play up to par, and he is the first to take the blame for any problems.
So after Houston's Danieal Manning took the opening kickoff 94 yards, putting his team 12 yards from the end zone just seconds into the game, Slater was not happy.
Nor was he happy when Manning returned Stephen Gostkowski's fourth kickoff 35 yards, a play that became 50 yards when Gostkowski was flagged for a horse-collar tackle.
Or in the fourth quarter, when Manning had a 69-yard return.
Houston put points on the board after each of those, though the Patriots' defense held Houston to a field goal after that opening 94-yarder.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was complimentary of the unit's regular-season play, but this is not the time for cracks in the armor: Baltimore's Jacoby Jones was named All-Pro after averaging 30.7 yards per kickoff return this season, with two touchdowns.
"We gotta get better,'' Slater said Monday. "It's very important. We know we need to perform better. We can't put our defense in bad situations, so we're onto the next game; we've got to prepare for Jacoby. We know how good he is and what he's capable of.
"I'm confident we'll have it fixed.''
New England had one of the best kickoff-coverage groups in the NFL this season. Though the Patriots kicked off a league-high 112 times (Denver, with 99 kickoffs, was second), Gostkowski had 52 touchbacks, and the Patriots held opponents inside the 20-yard line 24 times.
Teams had an average starting point of the 20.9-yard line.
The longest return the Patriots gave up in the regular season was 62 yards, to the 49ers' LaMichael James. The Jets' Joe McKnight had returns of 37 and 41 yards in New York's two games against New England.
New England did not face Jones as a kick returner in the September game against the Ravens.
Belichick, a former special teams coordinator, acknowledged that Sunday's game wasn't the best for the kick coverage group, but he didn't sound worried in a Monday conference call.
"Overall our kickoff coverage this year has been one of the best things we've done all year. We're right at the top of the league in kickoff coverage,'' Belichick said. "We didn't have a good play in the San Francisco game and then we had three bad plays yesterday, but overall that's been probably as consistent as anything we've done as a football team for the entire season.
"Of course it's disappointing. Those are plays that you don't want to happen, certainly not three of them in one game. That's not what we want. That's not good enough. It has to be better.''
Asked what the Patriots had to improve on, Slater said simply, "Lane integrity and defeating blocks.'' On Manning's opening kick return, Slater was double-teamed, which happens often for the Pro Bowler.
When Manning cut to his left, he had a fairly clear path — Devin McCourty had been shoved out of the way by James Casey, and Tavon Wilson was blocked out of Manning's path as well.
After Gostkowski's effort to tackle him failed, Manning had nothing but open field in front of him — though behind him he had a fast-closing McCourty, who made the touchdown-saving tackle. If McCourty had not made the tackle, Kyle Arrington, who came from the other side of the field, likely would have.
"We face good returners every week,'' Belichick said when asked about the dangerous Jones. "We have to do a better job than what we did [against Houston]. It starts with me — better coaching, better playing — we just have to do a better job.
"We've done a good job there pretty much all year, as good as anybody in the league has, but it wasn't anywhere near our standard or where it needs to be yesterday. You just can't put a team in that kind of field position consistently, and that's what we did.''
Of course, New England didn't have quite the problem that Baltimore did on kickoff coverage in its game against Denver — after not allowing a return longer than 42 yards in the regular season, the Ravens saw the Broncos' Trindon Holliday run a kickoff back 104 yards for a touchdown.
Holliday also had a punt-return touchdown.
It isn't a tough fix for the Patriots, Slater said, "just go back to basics, go back to fundamental rules that we have as players, and just doing our assignments better.
"Kickoff coverage has been a strength for us, and like I said, I'm confident we'll get it fixed.''

There be no radical shake-up for Oxford United as they head for a crunch clash with Barnet (8pm) on Tuesday looking to halt a poor run of form.
The U's have taken one point from a possible nine in the last fortnight and following a last-minute 2-1 defeat at Chesterfield on Saturday, they are closer to the relegation zone than the play-off places in npower League Two.
But while results have left a lot to be desired, there has been little obviously wrong with the performances.
United boss Chris Wilder believes there is a fine line separating his side from an upturn, so does not see a reason to make major alterations.
He said: "I don't really think we need to take a wrecking ball to the team.
"I don't look at my team and think they're turning it in. I don't look at them and think we're a shambles and are all over the place.
"I think we're playing decent football, we look organised and solid, but we're getting punished for little errors and we're not punishing teams when we're on top.
"I don't see anybody running over the top of us, but it's important that in both boxes we're a little bit better."
United visited Underhill less than three weeks ago, when they ran out 2-0 winners in the FA Cup first round.
They would dearly love a repeat tonight, as another setback would only serve to increase the pressure on the squad – and Wilder in particular.
The U's boss is aware of what is at stake.
He said: "I understand we will come in for criticism and there will be voices on forums, but we have to make sure that we believe what we're doing is right.
"From an individual point of view, it's not a good time for me.
"Am I a better manager than I was when I walked through the door here? Most certainly, but people will be saying other things. It's up to me to keep calm and lead the boys."
Sean Rigg will start after shaking off the virus which restricted him to a substitute appearance on Saturday, while Liam Davis (hamstring) will have a late fitness test.
Lee Cox is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season on Saturday, with Adam Chapman likely to deputise.
The main selection issue is over who partners James Constable up front, with Tom Craddock and Deane Smalley injured.
Alfie Potter got the nod on Saturday, but he could revert to his more familiar wide role, leaving Jon-Paul Pittman and Tyrone Marsh to battle it out for a starting place.
Edgar Davids is suspended for the home side, who are unbeaten in their last three league games at home.
Oxford Utd: from Clarke, Whing, Mullins, Wright, Capaldi, Potter, Cox, Leven, Rigg, Constable, Pittman, Marsh, Heslop, Forster-Caskey, Chapman, Davis, O'Brien, Raynes, Worley, Brown, Roberts.
Barnet: from Stack, Fuller, Pearce, Stephens, Brown, Kamdjo, Byrne, Lee, Nurse, Hyde, Holmes, Cowler, Fortune, Weston, Yiadom, Edgar, Lowe, John, Allen, Abdullah, Saville.

With so many car owners taking personal customization to new levels, it makes sense to consider the benefits of upgrading your lights to LED! Boasting illumination three times brighter than traditional lights, LED lights for cars are a solid solution for vehicle owners looking for something extra. Aside from their impressive brightness, LED lights for cars offer impressive staying power with longer life spans and are practically indestructible.

A scanty population of now-extinct hominin species (see Hominidae) lived in Europe before modern humans appeared some 45,000–43,000 years ago. Throughout the prehistoric period the continent experienced continual waves of immigration from Asia. In the modern period, especially since the mid-20th century, large numbers of people have immigrated from other continents, particularly Africa and Asia. Nevertheless, Europe today remains preeminently the homeland of various European peoples.
Cultural patterns
Culture groups
Efforts have been made to characterize different "ethnic types" among European peoples, but these are merely selectively defined physical traits that, at best, have only a certain descriptive and statistical value. On the other hand, territorial differences in language and other cultural aspects are well known, and these have been of immense social and political import in Europe. These differences place Europe in sharp contrast to such relatively recently colonized lands as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Given the agelong habitation of its land and the minimal mobility of the peasantry—long the bulk of the population—Europe became the home of many linguistic and national "core areas," separated by mountains, forests, and marshlands. Its many states, some long-established, introduced another divisive element that was augmented by modern nationalistic sentiments.
Efforts to associate groups of states for specific defense and trade functions, especially after World War II, created wider unitary associations but with fundamental east-west differences. Thus, there appeared two clear-cut, opposing units—one centred on the Soviet Union and the other on the countries of western Europe—as well as a number of relatively neutral states (Ireland, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, and Yugoslavia). This pattern was subsequently altered in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the dissolution of the Soviet bloc (including the Soviet Union itself), the rapprochement between east and west, and the creation and expansion of the European Union (EU).
There are some 160 culturally distinct groups in Europe, including a number of groups in the Caucasus region that have affinities with both Asia and Europe. Each of these large groups exhibits two significant features. First, each is characterized by a degree of self-recognition by its members, although the basis for such collective identity varies from group to group. Second, each group—except the Jews and the Roma (Gypsies)—tends to be concentrated and numerically dominant within a distinctive territorial homeland.
For a majority of groups the basis for collective identity is possession of a distinctive language or dialect. The Catalans and Galicians of Spain, for example, have languages notably different from the Castilian of the majority of Spaniards. On the other hand, some peoples may share a common language yet set each other apart because of differences in religion. In the Balkan region, for instance, the Eastern Orthodox Serbs, Muslim Bosnians (Bosniaks), and Roman Catholic Croats all speak a language that linguists refer to as Serbo-Croatian; however, each group generally prefers to designate its language as Serbian, Bosnian, or Croatian. Some groups may share a common language but remain separate from each other because of differing historical paths. Thus, the Walloons of southern Belgium and the Jurassiens of the Jura in Switzerland both speak French, yet they see themselves as quite different from the French because their groups have developed almost completely outside the boundaries of France. Even when coexisting within the same state, some groups may have similar languages and common religions but remain distinctive from each other because of separate past associations. During Czechoslovakia's 74 years as a single state, the historical linkages of Slovaks with the Hungarian kingdom and Czechs with the Austrian Empire played a role in keeping the two groups apart; the country was divided into two separate states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in 1993.
The primary European cultural groups have been associated by ethnographers into some 21 culture areas. The groupings are based primarily on similarities of language and territorial proximity. Although individuals within a primary group generally are aware of their cultural bonds, the various groups within an ethnographically determined culture area do not necessarily share any self-recognition of their affinities to one another. This is particularly true in the Balkan culture area. Peoples in the Scandinavian and German (German-language) culture areas, by contrast, are much more aware of belonging to broader regional civilizations.
Romance, Germanic, and Slavic languages
Within the complex of European languages, three major divisions stand out: Romance, Germanic, and Slavic. All three are derived from a parent Indo-European language of the early migrants to Europe from southwestern Asia.
The Romance languages dominate western and Mediterranean Europe and include French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian, plus such lesser-known languages as Occitan (Provençal) in southern France, Catalan in northeastern Spain and Andorra, and Romansh in southern Switzerland. All are derived from the Latin language of the Roman Empire.
The Germanic languages are found in central, northern, and northwestern Europe. They are derived from a common tribal language that originated in southern Scandinavia, and they include German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic, as well as the minor Germanic tongue of Frisian in the northern Netherlands and northwestern Germany. English is a Germanic language, but about half its vocabulary has Romance origins.
The Slavic languages are characteristic of eastern and southeastern Europe and of Russia. These languages are usually divided into three branches: West, East, and South. Among the West Slavic languages are Polish, Czech and Slovak, Upper and Lower Sorbian of eastern Germany, and the Kashubian language of northern Poland. The East Slavic languages are Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. The South Slavic languages include Slovene, Serbo-Croatian (known as Serbian, Croatian, or Bosnian), Macedonian, and Bulgarian.
Other languages
In addition to the three major divisions of the Indo-European languages, three minor groups are also noteworthy. Modern Greek is the mother tongue of Greece and of the Greeks in Cyprus, as well as the people of other eastern Mediterranean islands. Older forms of the language were once widespread along the eastern and southern shores of the Mediterranean and in southern peninsular Italy and Sicily. The Baltic language family includes modern Latvian and Lithuanian. The Old Prussian language also belonged to the Baltic group but was supplanted by German through conquest and immigration. Europe's Roma speak the distinctive Romany language, which has its origins in the Indic branch of the Indo-European languages.
Two other Indo-European language divisions were formerly widespread but now are spoken only by a few groups. Celtic languages at one time dominated central and western Europe from a core in the German Rhineland. Cultural pressures from adjacent Germanic- and Romance-speaking civilizations eliminated the Celtic culture area, save for a few remnants in the British Isles and Brittany, in northwestern France; surviving Celtic languages include Cornish, Welsh, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, and Breton. The Thraco-Illyrian branch of the Indo-European languages was formerly spoken throughout the Balkan Peninsula north of Greece. It survives solely in the Albanian language.
Non-Indo-European languages also are spoken on the continent. The sole example in western Europe is the Basque language of the western Pyrenees; its origins are obscure. In northeastern and central Europe the Finnish, Sami, Estonian, and Hungarian languages belong to the Uralic language family, which has other representatives in the middle Volga River region. Turkic languages are spoken in portions of the Balkan and Caucasus regions, as well as in southern Russia.
The majority of primary culture groups in Europe have a single dominant religion, although the English, German, Swiss, Hungarian, and Netherlandic groups are noteworthy for the coexistence of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Like its languages, Europe's religious divisions fall into three broad variants of a common ancestor, plus distinctive faiths adhered to by smaller groups.
Most Europeans adhere to one of three broad divisions of Christianity: Roman Catholicism in the west and southwest, Protestantism in the north, and Eastern Orthodoxy in the east and southeast. The divisions of Christianity are the result of historic schisms that followed its period of unity as the adopted state religion in the late stages of the Roman Empire. The first major religious split began in the 4th century, when pressure from "barbarian" tribes led to the division of the empire into western and eastern parts. The bishop of Rome became spiritual leader of the West, while the patriarch of Constantinople led the faith in the East; the final break occurred in 1054. The line adopted to divide the two parts of the empire remains very much a cultural discontinuity in the Balkan Peninsula today, separating Roman Catholic Croats, Slovenes, and Hungarians from Eastern Orthodox Montenegrins, Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians, and Greeks. The second schism occurred in the 16th century within the western branch of the religion, when Martin Luther inaugurated the Protestant Reformation. Although rebellion took place in many parts of western Europe against the central church authority vested in Rome, the Reformation was successful mainly in the Germanic-speaking areas of Britain, northern Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the adjacent regions of Finland, Estonia, and Latvia.
Judaism and Islam
Judaism has been practiced in Europe since Roman times. Jews undertook continued migrations into and throughout Europe, in the process dividing into two distinct branches—the Ashkenazi and the Sephardi. Although the Holocaust and emigration greatly reduced their numbers in Europe—particularly in eastern Europe, where Jews once made up a large minority population—Jews are still found in urban areas throughout the continent.
Islam also has a long history in Europe. Islamic incursions into the Iberian and Balkan peninsulas during the Middle Ages were influential in the cultures of those regions. Muslim communities still exist in several parts of the Balkans, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and northeastern Bulgaria. In European Russia, Muslims are more numerous; among them are the Kazan Tatars and the Bashkirs in the Volga-Ural region. Large Muslim communities exist in many western European cities as well. The in-migration of guest workers from Asia, North Africa, Turkey, and the former Yugoslavia during eras of labour shortages and economic expansion, particularly in the second half of the 20th century, contributed to the growth of these communities.
Demographic patterns
Europe has long been a populous part of the world. Although its estimated population numbered only one-third of Asia's in 1650, 1700, and 1800, this nevertheless accounted for one-fifth of humanity. Despite large-scale emigration, this proportion increased to one-fourth by 1900, when Europe's total population just exceeded 400 million. Such high numbers, achieved by high birth rates and falling death rates, were sustained by expanding economies. By the end of the 20th century, however, population growth in Europe had slowed dramatically, while numbers had grown proportionately faster in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. By the early 21st century, Europe's population had fallen to about one-tenth of the world total.
Overall densities
In antiquity the focus of settlement was in southern Europe, but the south lost its numerical domination from medieval times onward, as settlement developed vigorously in western and central Europe and, later still, as the steppe lands of Ukraine and Hungary were settled for crop farming. While northern Europe from Iceland and the Scottish Highlands to northern Russia is only scantily settled, the population reaches high densities in a more southerly belt stretching from England across northern France and Germany to the Moscow region. A second major population strip extends southward from the Ruhr valley in Germany through Italy. High population densities are often associated with coalfields that, in the past more than today, strongly attracted industry. Giant cities like London, Paris, and St. Petersburg, offering large markets and labour forces, also created regions of high density. Other populous areas are sustained by mining, manufacturing, commerce, and productive agriculture. Malta, San Marino, and the Netherlands are the most densely populated countries; Iceland and Norway are the least densely settled. In general, population is scantiest in mountain regions, some highlands, arid parts of Spain, and the Arctic regions of Russia.
Urban and rural settlement
City life has, from Classical antiquity, nurtured European culture, although tributary rural life was for centuries the common lot. During the 19th and 20th centuries, however, there was a revolutionary urbanization that now embraces the great majority of contemporary Europeans. Aided by the mechanization of agriculture, urbanization—offering varied employment, better social services, and, apparently, a fuller life—greatly reduced the rural population. The increased ease of travel helped to depopulate many culturally rich, high-altitude areas as well. Today some European towns are quite old, containing architectural survivals from their historic past; others are creations of the Industrial Revolution or the suburbanization trend that began in the late 20th century.
In most of the highly industrialized countries the proportion of urban dwellers is high—90 percent or more in such countries as Belgium, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. In Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden over 80 percent of the population is urban, and in the Czech Republic, France, Norway, and Spain the figure is greater than 70 percent. Only a handful of countries, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Moldova, have urban populations that number less than half their national totals.
Towns of different scale and varying function continue to grow rapidly. Europe contains a significant number of the world's cities with a population of more than one million, and many of the more highly industrialized parts of the continent are marked by giant, sprawling metropolitan areas. One distinct type is represented by the conurbation linked with outgrowth from London and another, as in the Ruhr, by the fusing of separate cities. Both types stem from an unchecked economic expansion associated with population growth—including immigration from rural areas and from abroad. As elsewhere in the world, these giant agglomerations pose difficult social and aesthetic problems, but, by concentrating population, they help to prevent some areas of the countryside from becoming too built-up.
Population trends
Western and northern Europe took the lead in the medical and social "death controls" that since the mid-19th century have sharply reduced infant mortality and lengthened life expectancy. Although infant mortality rates have remained somewhat higher in the countries of eastern Europe, where death rates also increased after the collapse of communism, low mortality rates have been achieved virtually everywhere else on the continent.
Birth rates and death rates, as they vary in time and place, necessarily affect the proportion of the population available to the different European countries for the economy and the armed forces. In most countries, increased longevity and lowered birth rates have generated a rising proportion of retired citizens. Also, the trend toward education over longer periods has drawn more young people from the economy. The labour force thus has been shrinking somewhat, although in most places it has continued to constitute more than two-fifths of the population, exceeding half the population in most countries. Labour force totals have remained high on the continent because of the increasing proportion of employed women as well as the influx of large numbers of workers from outside Europe.
Despite heavy mortality resulting from continual wars, Europe has been a source of emigrants throughout modern times. Since the geographic discoveries of the late 15th century, both "push" and "pull" factors explain an exodus greatly accelerated by modern transportation. The push factors often were sheer poverty, the desire to escape from persecution, or loss of jobs through economic change. The pull factors included new opportunities for better living, often at the expense of original inhabitants elsewhere. All of Europe shared in this huge transfer of population, which affected the settlement and economic development of the Americas, Australia, southern Africa, and New Zealand. Through their involvement in the horrors of the African slave trade, Europeans also produced forced migrations of nonwhite peoples that had immense consequences in the Old and New Worlds.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, roughly 60 million people left Europe for overseas; more than half settled in the United States. Northwestern Europe—the British Isles, Scandinavia, and the Low Countries—contributed the largest share of emigrants, who settled, above all, where English was spoken. Ireland, for instance, lost much of its population following the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. Emigrants from central, eastern, and southern Europe moved later, many in the early decades of the 20th century. Affinities of language, religion, and culture clearly explain migration patterns; South American countries, for example, had more appeal to Spanish, Portuguese, and Italians.
It has been estimated that emigration from 1846 to 1932 reduced the growth rate of Europe's population by 3 persons per 1,000 each year. The year 1913 marked a peak, with at least 1.5 million—one-third Italian and more than a quarter British—migrating overseas. Subsequent entry restrictions in the United States reduced this flood. During the late 20th century, European migrants sought new homes mainly in Australia, Canada, South America, Turkey, and the United States.
Despite high population densities, many European countries still attract immigrants from other continents, especially those in search of economic opportunities. France has received numerous immigrants from the Francophone countries of Africa, particularly North Africa, as well as from Asia. The United Kingdom, which steadily supplies immigrants to Australia and Canada and specialized workers to the United States, has also attracted overseas immigrants, notably Commonwealth citizens. Germany, too, has drawn large numbers of immigrants, particularly from Turkey. Many of these newcomers are later joined by family members; many become long-term residents and, increasingly, citizens. Thus, Europe's self-image as a place for guest workers rather than permanent immigrants is changing. Nevertheless, xenophobic incidents, along with substantial political conflict, have been associated with the residence of "foreigners" in places that were once more ethnically homogeneous.
Within the continent itself there always has been some mobility of population; it was high during prehistoric times and also notable during the period of decline and fall of the Roman Empire in the West, when many tribal groups—especially groups of Germans and Slavs—settled in specific regions where they grew into distinctive nations. During and after World War II many Germans in central and east-central Europe returned to western Germany, some as forced migrants. Many eastern Europeans too made their way to the west, both before the sealing of the east-west border during the Cold War as well as after the collapse of Soviet influence in eastern Europe during 1989–91.
Since the establishment of the EU, its member countries have drawn numerous migrants both from within the union and from elsewhere, as has Switzerland. In the early 21st century it was estimated that nonnational residents made up about 5 percent of the population of the EU. (The majority of these residents were from non-EU countries.) In a few places, such as Luxembourg (with its many workers from elsewhere in the EU) and Estonia (with its numerous Russian residents), the proportion is significantly higher.
The phenomenon of "irregular," or illegal, migration drew special attention in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This form of migration ranges from undocumented workers (such as itinerant salespeople, often non-Europeans, selling items at tourist sites) to victims of human trafficking. Other conspicuous forms of mobility in Europe are the daily commuting of city workers and the increasing movements of tourists.W. Gordon East Thomas M. Poulsen William H. Berentsen

The "Hash House Harriers" (HHH) are a loosely-knit international group of runners and cyclists with chapters in over 160 countries around the world. The Sydney Bike Hash conducts monthly rides ("hashes") around greater Sydney. A typical bike hash involves one or two members ("hares") marking a "trail" using chalk arrows through cycle ways, roads and trails for the "pack" to follow on their bikes. Trails leave from a pre-arranged starting point, typically via two or more pub stops, to a pre-arranged ending point, where the beer and drinks and nibbles are! At the end, a "Circle" will be conducted where the ride will be reviewed and "charges" will be bestowed for various misdeeds on trail.
Trails are anywhere from 10-20km depending on the hare, but are designed to be completed in a few hours (including pub stops).
Bring your bike, helmet, water, lock, and $10 for the ride. We go out for a meal at a local pub after the ride, so bring more money if you're coming to the "On Inn". In winter you may be returning home after dark so it's also a good idea to have lights on your bike.
