The Bay Area's Vast Animal Kingdom
March 26, 2019
Do you love animals? My team and I sure do. Between us, we own a menagerie of cats, dogs, turtles, goldfish, and lizards. Our pets bring us joy, and they contribute greatly to the fabric of life in Lafayette. Our town even hosts an annual event dedicated to our furry friends: the Dogtown Downtown Walk (June 1) sponsored by the Lafayette Chamber invites residents to parade Mt. Diablo Boulevard with dogs in tow. But my team's love of animals extends well beyond our domesticated companions. We love to visit the animals rehabbed by Walnut Creek's fabulous Lindsay Wildlife Experience. We are fascinated by the creepy-crawly creatures at Berkeley's famous Vivarium. And we are deeply moved by the monthly Guide Dogs for the Blind graduation ceremonies. If you love animals too, you'll love my team's list of their favorite Bay Area animal outings:
Marine Mammal Center, Sausalito: Open daily from 10am – 4pm, admission is free at this rescue and treatment facility where distressed marine mammals are rehabbed for release back into the ocean. Explore on your own, or take part in an educational program or tour.
Año Nuevo State Park, Pescadero: Observe thousands of elephant seals here, as well as otter, sea lions, and migratory birds. Check the schedule for guided docent tours where reservations are required.
Lindsay Wildlife Experience, Walnut Creek: As a working wildlife hospital, and one of the oldest and largest rehabilitation centers in the United States, Lindsay treats more than 5,000 injured, sick or abandoned animals annually. More than 50 species of non-releasable, native California animals reside at the center.
Fun Fact: I worked on PR and special events for the Lindsay Wildlife Museum for several years!
Steinhart Aquarium at The CA Academy of Sciences, San Francisco: One of the most biologically diverse and interactive aquariums on Earth, Steinhart is home to nearly 40,000 live animals, representing more than 900 unique species.
Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey: Watch daily feedings of penguins and otters, and learn about the preservation of our oceans. The jellyfish exhibit is alone worth a visit. Located on vibrant Cannery Row.
Guide Dogs for the Blind, San Rafael: This wonderful organization prepares highly qualified guide dogs to serve individuals who are blind. Pups are raised by adoptive families who then turn over their charges to the dog's new partner during very moving graduation ceremonies. Warning: Bring tissues!
Animal Rescue Foundation (A.R.F.), Walnut Creek: Become a volunteer and help care for abandoned cats and dogs who will eventually find new homes via the wonderful work of this well-known organization. If you are looking to add to your family, this is a must!
East Bay Vivarium, Berkeley: This amazing store supplies zoos, educational institutions, and classrooms as well as individuals and families with snakes, lizards, tortoises, turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders, tarantulas and scorpions, all of which are on view.
Fun Fact: 100% of the proceeds from our large listing, 7 Country Oak Lane in Alamo, will go to Maddie's Fund.
Maddie's Fund® is a family foundation created in 1994 by Workday co-founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl, who have endowed the Foundation with more than $300 million, with grants supporting increased community lifesaving, animal welfare leadership, foster care and shelter medicine, education and training across the U.S.

Norwich City FC midfielder Mario Vrančić was a young boy when his family fled the impending war in Bosnia and found refuge in Germany.
To mark Football Welcomes, Mario has answered the questions of Year 4 pupils at Avenue Junior School about his life and career.
Mario was born in Brod in Bosnia, one of the first towns to be hit by conflict when the Bosnian war broke out in 1992. Mario's parents fled to Germany before the war began, his father going first to look for work, while Mario followed later with his mother. He cannot remember the details of the escape, but knows from his parents' stories that it must have been a bad time. For a while, it was not certain that the family's status would be recognized as war refugees, but the family received their right of residence in 1994. Mario began his football career at Mainz 05 and went on to play in Germany's top league, the Bundesliga. He represented Germany at youth level and was part of the squad that won the 2008 European Under-19s Championships. In 2015 he made his debut for the Bosnian national team. "No one would be happier than me to play for the national team because Bosnia and Herzegovina is my homeland," he said. "Regardless of where I would live, that Bosnian spirit and pride is always in me." Mario signed for Norwich City FC in the summer of 2017 and is a central midfielder and a regular starter for The Canaries this season. Like the Gallego brothers, Mario's older brother Damir is also a professional footballer and currently plays for German club FT Braunschweig.
Norwich City FC were one of 30 clubs across the country to support the Amnesty international Football Welcomes weekend in 2017. Across the country football clubs and fans came together to celebrate the contributions of refugee footballers to the beautiful game.
This year Norwich City FC are again proud supporters of Football Welcomes.
The club has several other strong links to refugee history and experience. Their nickname and emblem is a direct result of refugee migration! Find out more below.

KTC Holiday Ornament Swap
My KTC Holiday ornament package is ready to go! I decided to go with a Victorian theme (sort of) since the KTC December book is Dicken's Christmas Carol. I crocheted the ornaments around a Styrofoam ball using one strand of Katia Granada in a shiny green color and one strand of some metallic gold I had in my stash with no label, then added the tassel. I added a candle, handmade bookmark and some potpourri and it's ready to be mailed.

The world premiere tour of the Northern Ballet's Little Mermaid is heading to Norwich Theatre Royal at the of September. It tells the well known story of young mermaid willing to give up her life under the sea to find true love. This original piece will be set along to a Scottish influenced classical soundtrack and performed on a modern, stylish and contemporary set. Whilst the costumes should be mesmerising, the ballerinas most important tools will be their pointe shoes. These delicate, pretty shoes have more to them than meets the eye. Every year, Northern Ballet uses over 5,600 pairs of pointe shoes (over 230 per dancer!) Here a few secrets behind the Northern Ballet's Pointe shoes.
How are they made?
A pointe shoe is essentially made out of fabric and something akin to papier-mâché. They have a leather sole around which layers of cotton and silk are attached which forms the pale pink shining pointe shoe to which ballet fans will be accustomed. However, inside the pointe shoe, aesthetic makes way for functionality.
Inside, a shank runs the length of the shoe similar to how an insole would lay in a regular shoe. In Freed of London shoes, which are worn by almost all of Northern Ballet's dancers, the shank is made of a thick cardstock and is incredibly rigid and difficult to bend at first. It is the shank which stiffens the sole of the shoe and helps to support the dancer's foot when she is en pointe.
The box is the part of the shoe which surrounds the toes and toe joints. The box is made up of layers of paper and burlap combined with a glue paste made of flour, starch, water and some secret ingredients. As the box is built up, the maker will flatten the platform (tip of the shoe) forming a flat surface on which the ballerina can balance. The shoe is 'baked' to dry and set the glue, leaving the box firm and strong, providing support around the toes.
Like most dancers at professional ballet companies, Northern Ballet's dancers have custom made pointe shoes which enable the dancers to tailor the shoe to their exact requirements to perform at their absolute best. This is possible as pointe shoes are handmade and, with Freed of London shoes, dancers are able to specify which 'maker' will create their shoes ensuring they fit perfectly time after time. The 'maker' is identified by a stamp on the sole of the shoe which can be anything from a single letter, a little fish, an anchor, or even a wine glass!
However when the shoes arrive, they are absolutely rigid and require breaking in to mould them to the dancer's foot and make them pliable enough to dance in. In addition, each dancer will attach ribbons and elastic to the shoe to ensure it stays on the foot correctly. Each dancer has their own preference for how they attach their ribbons and elastics.
Why does the company go through so many?
In spite of all the work which goes into making them stage ready, pointe shoes have a very short life. They naturally deteriorate through use, and due to heat and sweat from the foot breaking down the materials inside the shoe. Dancers will have multiple pairs of shoes 'on the go' at once and will rotate through several pairs each week. Once a shoe has softened to a point where it no longer offers the support a dancer needs, the shoe is considered 'dead' and can no longer be safely worn.
The secrets behind the Northern Ballet's pointe shoes…
Hannah Bateman (Leading Soloist)
What make are your pointe shoes?
I wear Freed of London shoes in a size 4 with a heel pin which makes them slightly bigger than a standard size 4. My shoes are also customised with a ¾ forteflex shank which means it is ¾ of the length of a normal shank and extra strong. My shoes are made by the club maker and also have an extra deep vamp which gives me added support along the side of the foot.
How do you prepare your shoes?
First I take out the two nails at the top of the shank and work it into a bend so it sits flush with the sole of my foot when I put them on. I then shellac inside all over the toe area and along the shank. I also add super glue inside the shoe where my big toe will sit to prevent the shoe from losing its shape for as long as possible. I leave shoes in my airing cupboard or on a radiator to allow the shellac and glue time to dry. I cut the satin off of the platform and stick a 5mm round elastic around the circumference of the platform. I then stitch elastic to the inside of the shoe in line with the highest point of my arch and attach the other side around the back of the heel. Finally I sew on the ribbons and the shoes are ready to go!
How long does it take you to prepare a pair of shoes?
An hour per pair!
When do you prepare your pointe shoes?
Whenever I can! It is a constant battle to keep up! I'll get up an hour earlier; stitch a bit in my lunch hour or between rehearsals; prepare them at home whilst watching a bit of television; on a train journey – wherever, whenever!
How long does each pair of shoes tend to last you?
This is tricky because it depends on the work load; different ballets can put different pressures on your shoes. I can't really wear a pair for more than two hours as the shoe starts to go soft with the heat of your feet so I have to switch them quite often. For a typical Northern Ballet performance I can easily wear one pair per show because the shoe has to look fantastic and be capable of sustaining its shape and strength. For rehearsals you can be less fussy about the look but we're five weeks into this season and I have already used 30 pairs!
What else do you want to say about your pointe shoes?
They are incredible! I have had mine made by club maker for the whole of my professional career and each pair is handmade by him in the Freed of London workshop in Norwich. The smell of brand new pointe shoes is really beautiful, the leather sole and the crisp satin, there is nothing like it! My Dad has collected my pointe shoes from every principal performance of mine he has ever seen. I've been dancing professionally for over 16 years now so he has a fair few, including pairs from my first shows as Juliet, Cleopatra, Jane Eyre, Marquise and Beauty.
Miki Akuta (Corps de Ballet)
What make are your pointe shoes?
I wear Freed of London shoes by the wine glass maker.
How do you prepare your shoes?
First I sew the ribbons and elastics and then I stitch the platform of the shoe to make them look better. I also cut out the end of the sole. Dancers spend a lot of time preparing their shoes!
How long does it take you to prepare a pair of shoes?
About half an hour per pair.
When do you prepare your pointe shoes?
I usually try to do it between rehearsals whenever I have a bit of time so I don't have to do it at home in my spare time. If I don't manage to finish the shoes I need, then sometimes I will do it at home while I talk to my family on Skype.
How long does each pair of shoes tend to last you?
My shoes last about a week but it totally depends on what ballet we are doing and whether we are performing on a flat or raked (sloped) stage.
What else do you want to say about your pointe shoes?
One day my friend and I tried to exchange our pointe shoes just for fun. We found out that even though they were the same size and width, because they are customised to our own feet, the two pairs looked totally different and there was no way we could exchange our shoes!
Dominique Larose (Corps de Ballet)
What make are your pointe shoes?
My pointe shoes are by Suffolk, they are the Solo model. I have worn the same kind of shoes since I was 13!
How do you prepare your shoes?
I don't actually do very much to prepare my shoes! I shellac inside the box and the shank before I wear them and then I sew the ribbon and elastic on. Just before I wear them I bend the shank by hand, step on the box and put a little water on the box. Sometimes I wear them for class first but sometimes I wear them brand new for rehearsal – it depends what we are rehearsing.
When do you prepare your pointe shoes?
I like to prepare all of my shoes early because I don't want to be rushed. It usually takes me a couple of weeks to get them all done. For a few weeks I'll be in and out of the shoe room in the Wardrobe department like crazy!
How long does each pair of shoes tend to last you?
Usually a pair can last me a week but it depends on what ballet we are doing. When it's hot in the summer I will go through shoes faster but I try to make them last as long as possible.
What else do you want to say about your pointe shoes?
All I can say is I love my pointe shoes, they are very special to me. I need them to perform at my best so I really treasure them. I still have my very first pair of pointe shoes – I heard it's lucky to keep them!

As streaming becomes more and more popular among cord cutters, these services are starting to carry live local Eureka Springs, AR 72631 TV channels just like Cable TV always has. Streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu Live, Sling and AT&T TV Now usually have free trials and a month-to-month contracts. Many of these streams can be easily watched on a smartphone, Fire TV, Roku, or Smart TV device.
So if a TV antenna will not work for your situation, consider subscribing to one of the streaming services below if they meet your channel and budget needs.
Hulu Live is different from the video-on-demand service that goes by a similarly named "Hulu" - although you can purchase a bundle that has both. There is an extensive list of local channels available, probably only second to YouTube TV.
YouTube has quickly become the go-to name in streaming due to is extensive channel list. However, this comes at a cost of being one of the most expensive services available, and even more so once you begin upgrading packages.
AT&T TV Now used to be DirecTV Now, but the service is still the same. AT&T TV Now has a lot of local channels, but not as many as YouTube or Hulu Live. They also have plenty of regional sports networks.
Sling keeps their rates the lowest by offering only a small handful of local channels. If your location is lucky enough to be in their coverage area, then this might be the perfect solution for you.
fuboTV started out as a soccer (futball) network, and has quickly blossomed into a full-featured streaming service complete with many local TV stations. This service should do well for those who want local channels and national sports not found elsewhere.
CBS All Access only has CBS content, but it is by-far the cheapest if that is the only local channel you need. As an added bonus, CBS All Access is beginning to have original programming not shown anywhere else.
In order to stream local channels such as NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC you will need a streaming device that connects to the internet and your TV.
A good internet connection is absolutely necessary if you plan to stream any amount of TV. A quality home router goes a long way in having a quality streaming experience.

I decided Friday night that I wanted to make pancakes Saturday morning. Since I'm trying to get away from prepackaged items since you never know what in the world could be mixed in with them, I decided it couldn't be too hard to make my own pancake mix. I was right. It's not hard at all and you can premix it and store it in your pantry if you'd like. I made the full batch of dry ingredients and only used half and stored the rest (I split the wet ingredients in half to add to the half of the dry ingredients). I didn't have dried buttermilk so I used dried non fat milk in it's place. I also didn't make the fancy syrup since I didn't have any berries, but I think it would be a nice addition if you wanted to try it. I don't think Jason was a big fan of these pancakes because they really taste like they are made of whole wheat, and they have a bit of a crunch because of the corn meal but I enjoyed them and they kept me full until lunch!

UPDATE: OPM clarifies - science and technology portfolios not under PM
Andrew Holness
The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) has moved to clarify a statement issued earlier by the Jamaica Information Service which had stated that Prime Minister Andrew Holness had assumed full but temporary responsibility for the Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology (MSET).
That announcement was met with a swift response from the Opposition Spokesman on Energy, Phillip Paulwell who described it as "absolute madness!"
However, late Thursday evening, the OPM in a statement said the portfolios of science and technology have not been moved to that office.
When he stripped Dr Andrew Wheatley of the energy portfolio in June in the wake of the Petrojam and NESoL scandals, the Prime Minister assumed responsibility for energy related matters.
When Wheatley resigned about two weeks ago, the Prime Minister reportedly indicated that he would provide oversight for the science and technology portfolios for at least two weeks while he conducts reviews of boards over which the MSET had responsibility.
The OPM said Holness continued those reviews on Thursday.
In his address to board members of the relevant entities, the prime minister thanked them for their service to Jamaica and stressed the importance of all boards functioning with transparency, probity and accountability.
The prime minister reportedly reminded the Board members of the importance of review in order to ensure that policy guidelines are followed and that the actions of the Boards and the entities fall within the governance framework established by the Government.
He has so far met with the boards of the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica; Government Electrical Regulator; Joint Task Force - Petrojam Refinery Upgrade Project; eGov; Scientific Reseach Council ; NESOL and Spectrum Management Authority.

How To Escape the Friend Zone Trap
Advice for How To Get Out Of the Friend Zone and Be Seen As More Than Just A Friend
Dear April Masini,
I have been friendly with a girl at my school for about a year. She has had the same boyfriend this entire time so, although I did have some feelings for her, I never asked her out. She calls me almost every night on weeknights, sometimes multiple times on the same night. Usually she asks me a question about schoolwork and I help her out or I help guide her through papers she is having trouble with. We are in almost all of the same classes every day so she usually relies on me to assist her if she needs help with school. I am not sure if I should take this as a sign that she likes me, because she says that she often calls her friends many times, but there are many other people whom she could call to get help in those classes."
Well, recently she broke up with her boyfriend and now I want to ask her out but I'm not sure if she will say yes, and if she says no, I am afraid things will be awkward between us in all the classes we have together. We once talked about how her friends are so different from her boyfriends; she usually ends up going out with boys who get in trouble and don't treat her like they should. I'm not one of those boys at all, so I'm slightly nervous about asking her out, although I can easily make her laugh and I'm almost always willing to listen to her completely random stories even when she knows I'm trying to do work.
With what I have told you, do you think I should attempt to ask her out, despite the risk that it could make both of us awkward for the rest of the school year? Or do you think I should just try to get rid of my feelings of wanting more than a friendship with her and remain friends?
Thanks for any dating advice you may be able to give.
Sincerely, I Want To Be More Than A Friend
April Masini's Advice :
Dear I Want To Be More Than A Friend:
You sound like a terrific guy! And terrific guys are worth something. So find out your worth with this friend of yours – and if she's not interested, move on to someone who values you for the great guy you are!
You deserve a great girlfriend or a great date, not just someone who wants to keep you around as a friend despite the fact that you're a man – albeit a young, teenage man – who is attracted to her and wants to date her.

If you don't honor your feelings, you're not honoring yourself, and you can't expect anyone else to. So start by being honest with yourself. You became friends with her because you were attracted to her, and you were hoping that you'd find yourself in exactly this situation – with her available and having a trusting friendship with you that you could build into more than just friendship.
Now the time has come, and you have to make your next move. Ask her out! By doing so, she will be on the spot, but that's what you want! If you don't ask, you'll never know.
As far as her wanting to date bad boys, or men who don't treat her well, that's her problem to deal with – not yours. Women who date men who treat them badly have low self-esteem and/or don't' really want intimacy. What you're going to offer her as a date and possibly a boyfriend (if the date goes well), is a healthy, loving relationship between teens.
You can't make her do what she's not ready to do, nor should you. But you should do what's right for you – and that's taking this relationship to the next step.
If she does say no, then you should definitely move on.
Rejection is actually a gift. Who wants to date or be with someone who doesn't want them? Not you!
So if you find out that she isn't interested in dating you, she's saving you a tremendous amount of time and energy because you can start looking around for someone who is.
And you know what?
There's a strong possibility that she'll respect you for standing up to her, and she'll probably even find you more attractive as you move on – especially if she likes bad boys or men who treat her badly. Your saying no to her will make you more desirable.
I also recommend that you buy my book, Date Out Of Your League, and read the chapter on how women love men who are confident and self assured. You're asking her out on a date will demonstrate that you're both confident and self assured. It will demonstrate that you're not afraid to go after what it is you want. And it will demonstrate that you're not someone who's comfortable sitting in a puddle of rejection.
You're a winner – and if you can't win with her – you're going to find someone you can win with!

In this industry, price is often considered to be synonymous with quality. The more money you shell out, the better the product – right?
Obviously I'm not referring to every single makeup item in the universe here – Chanel foundation vs Miss Sporty foundation? No contest! – all I'm trying to say is that certain brands often get underestimated because of their price range.
If you visit An Average Wednesday often, you'll probably know by now that I'm a massive advocate for affordable beauty brands like Makeup Revolution, Collection, and MUA. In my opinion, they make some of the best makeup goodies on the market right now (erm, Collection Lasting Perfection concealer anyone?) and yet they refuse to sacrifice their bargain price tags. Yes ladies and gentlemen, thanks to their unwavering dedication to the beauty cause, even the most budget-conscious of us can look flawless each and every day.
Okay, maybe I'm getting a little bit preachy. But you get my drift. Let's get down to business…
A couple of weeks ago I was browsing my local Superdrug when this little beauty caught my eye. While this six shade palette by MUA comes in a variety of different colour and texture combinations, it was Glamour Golds that found its way into my basket and thus, on to my eyelids within mere seconds of leaving the shop.
With two light, two medium and two dark shimmer shades, it has everything one could possibly need to complete the perfect summer goddess eye look. And no, I'm not trying to wow you with my marketing skills – I'm being serious. I've spoken about the quality of MUA's eyeshadows before, and these are no different: they are silky soft and really well pigmented.
If I had to be really picky (and I do, because I'm a Virgo), the one downside to this palette would be the lightest shades. They are just that bit too similar for my liking. Both pale golds, either can be used to highlight the brow bone or inner corner, but I think I would prefer a bit more of a transition shade between the medium gold and the bronze shades on the second row. But that's just me.
For just £3.50, you can't really go wrong. In fact, you can go pretty damn right. This little wonder definitely gets my seal of approval, and I'm already planning to pick up some more colours.

Indie game studio Thing Trunk has announced their new game, a dark fantasy action Role-Playing Game for PC, titled Book of Demons. The game is expected to be available on Steam in the second half of 2016. In addition thanks to the Humble Store, the game can now be pre-ordered at a promo price of $14.95 on the game's official website.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T_3ezRnC_w[/embedyt]
About the Game:
"What makes Book of Demons stand out from the rest of fantasy hack & slash games are its many twists in the basic gameplay mechanics, paper cut-out graphics, unprecedented accessibility, and a dark theme intertwined with a fair dose of humor any fan of classic games should enjoy. The character system is built around a card system that supersedes and unifies items, skills, and spells. Current hack & slash games employ countless statistics that change the mechanics by a percentile in a continuous fashion. Book of Demons features multiple discrete player and monster mechanics that can be combined in a virtually infinite number of interesting ways to create near endless replayability."
Key features of Book of Demons:
- Paper cut-out graphics
- Upgradable card system that unifies items, spells, and skills
- Unique movement and fighting system for more strategic gameplay
- Flexiscope™ system that adjusts sessions size to players' liking
- Endless end-game mode with 100+ challenges
- First truly accessible hack & slash
- Randomized dungeons
- Single-player campaign with 3 character classes
- 60+ different monster types
- Lots of humor
Think Trunk has promised a more in-depth gameplay trailer will be coming soon. For more information on Book of Demons be sure to check back here. For other news, and great articles be sure to check out the rest of The Nerd Stash.

Do I need past rowing experience?
Not at all! Every year we welcome over 100 members who have never rowed before. We will teach you all the basics before you race – one of the best parts of rowing.
I've heard rowing is for tall people. I'm short. Can I still row?
YES! You can be any size and still row well. If you are small, and the thought of 6 sessions a week sounds daunting, but still want to be involved – then coxing is for you. The "coxswain" is the brains of the crew. They steer the boat and verbally guides the rowers through the work out or race. The coxswain is an essential part of any crew and often makes the difference in a successful practice or race.
When does MUBC train?
This depends on your squad as Women and Men train separately, as do Novices and Seniors until later in the year.
But generally:
- Water sessions are on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday and Sunday mornings.
- Erg sessions are mostly in the evening: Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays – timings depend on the squad.
- Weights are also in the evening on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays – timings again depends on the squad.
- Running up to races additional training may be organised, we are a club with many keen beans who love to exercise so you'll always find a training buddy!
- Training for coxes is fairly flexible – just sign up to however many sessions you want to take part in
Where is the Boat house/Weights/Erg Room, and how can I get there?
Please click here for directions to all places we train.
What should I wear during training?
You may see more experienced rowers wearing an all-in-one lycra outfit known as a unisuit; however, this is unnecessary if you are just starting out.
Indoor training just requires regular gym kit, when we all train hard it does get warm in the erg room. In contrast, it can be wet and cold on the water, we are in Manchester after all, so it is important you are prepared for cold and rainy weather.
It is best to layer clothing during the fall/winter this will allow you to regulate your body temperate during outings. The following are important for outings in cold/wet weather:
- Many thin layers (leggings, base layers, tech tops, long & short sleeved tops) rather than one thick layer.
- Thin waterproof outer layer (splash jacket can be purchased through the club)
- Leggings (men and women)
- Trainers or better yet, sliders
- SOCKS (bring multiple pairs because your feet will be wet & cold..dry socks are amazing!)
- Hat
Avoid wearing clothing that absorbs a lot of water (including hoodies) as you will be very cold. Do not wear loose clothing as this can get caught in your blade handle/seat and cause injury.
Bring a spare of everything if it's raining! It may also be helpful to bring a plastic bag to keep kit dry in the boat or separate wet kit from dry kit. Additionally, wellies, a visor and sun glasses can come in handy. It is always good to bring water and food/snacks to avoid post-outing feelings of hanger.
Once you have fallen in love with the sport, there will be an opportunity for you to purchase your very own MUBC unisuit and compete for the club.
Who can I contact if I want to join or I have a question?
If you're new to rowing, your captains are Leonie Horwood (women) and Harry Cuffe and Lewis Renwick (men), you can find out more about them and the rest of the committee here.
Our senior captains are Rebecca Meenagh (women), Ben Curtis (men) and Darioush Jalili (men). Their details can also be found on the committee and join pages.
Alternatively fill out our joining form.
What is the MUBC social scene like?
Most Wednesdays the rowing club heads to the Athletic Union's socials along with all the other AU sports which takes place at Revolutions in Fallowfield. Our social secs also organise some more relaxed club activities such as bowling, mini golf and curry nights to bond our squads together. All the information will be posted by our Social secs on the Facebook pages.
How do I get put into a crew?
Your squad's captain organise water outings by looking on the availability spreadsheets. These can be found as a pinned post on your Facebook group.
If you don't fill out your availability, you won't get put in a boat, so please fill it out and keep it up to date with any changes.
How often do I get to race?
The club will race at 2-4 head races in the autumn and winter and 3-5 regattas in the spring and summer, depending on the schedule. The most important of these are: BUCS Head, (Women's) Head of the River, BUCS Regatta, Reading Amateur Regatta and Henley. Your participation in these depends on your motivation, availability, technique and physical condition.
My friends who row always talk about their erg score. What is that?
The "erg", is an indoor rowing machine. We use this machine for conditioning and fitness testing. The standard evaluation in rowing is the 2,000-meter erg test in Regatta season and 5000m for Head season. Because it is standardised, athletes around the world can gauge how fast they are relative to their teammates and competitors. We do frequent testing at MUBC so if you do not have erg score yet, you will soon!
More information about Training on the Ergonometer here. (Article by Sport Fitness Advisor)
How much does it cost and how can I pay?
Trial membership for novices (1 month) is £30. Full membership is an additional £110. Seniors automatically pay the full membership of £140. Coxing membership is £40.
All rowing related payments are to be made to our club account.
Manchester University Boat Club
Our club treasurer, will announce when fees are due well in advance. Please be sure to pay on time as there will be late payment fees otherwise. The treasurer will also indicate what payment reference should be used – please label your payment correctly.

On generating rewards and how to receive payouts, here are a few tips from The Selfee App:
1 - You have a period of 7 days to reach your interaction goal, which may be eligible to receive rewards depending on the total number of interactions obtained. After the 7-day period, all additional interactions reached, and or obtained, do not count towards potential payment or reward.
2 - Though your content may reach the reaction goal eligible for reward or payout, if the content is NOT approved by the Selfee Content Approval Team, you will not receive reward or payout for that content.
3 - You can ask for Payout at any time during the week. The Selfee payout process commences every Wednesday and will be reflected in your bank account on the Friday of the same week. This may vary by user, depending on any particular situation impeding completion of the process. We suggest you carefully review your information in the payout process form. If you entered the information incorrectly, don't worry, you can wait until the following week to re-do the payout process with the correct information. Your Payout amount will not be lost.
4 - You can choose when to ask for a Payout. It is not obligatory to do so every week. Your Payout amount can accumulate as you continue to generate rewards on the App.
5 – Unfortunately, Selfee is not responsible for issues which are encountered with specific bank accounts. Please notify us via our inbox of any complications you encounter with your payout, so we can assess the situation and fix accordingly.
6 – Selfee may change its Payout procedures from time to time. When we do, we will always notify you, our users.
Thank you for being part of The Selfee App, and you enjoy your Payouts soon!

Sample Research papers on Medical Errors in Our Delivery System
Medical errors are ranked eighth among the causes of the deaths witnessed in US. Every day, approximately 250 people are reported to die out of the medical errors that occur in the health care sector. Moreover, an approximated 44,000-98,000 people in the US are reported to die annually following the medical errors (Jenicek, 2010). Medical errors occur when a certain aspect planned to be part of the medical care fails to work out. A medical error is thus said to be the health care's adverse effect that is preventable regardless of whether it is seen as evident or even harmful to a patient. These errors can happen in many areas of health-care system including the hospitals, doctor's offices, clinics, pharmacies, nursing homes, surgery centers in the outpatient department as well as in the patients' homes.
The medical errors may involve various aspects like medicines, diagnosis, equipment, and surgery or laboratory reports (Naylor, 2010). For instance, an incomplete or inaccurate diagnosis or the treatment of any disease, syndrome, injury, or infection may constitute a medical error. Therefore, some of the medical errors could include misdiagnosis, wrong drug given to a patient, wrong-site surgical operations, retaining instruments used in surgery at the operation site as well as improper keeping of records.
The various researches done on the area of medical errors concur that it is difficult to measure the frequency of the medical errors in the systems of health care in the US. This is because some errors occur out of negligence and are unnoticed. It is estimated that 1% of the hospital admissions always have a medical error because of negligence (Sultz, 2010). Actually, the only mistakes that are identified are the ones, which lead to the measurable and clear adverse events that occur following the medical errors. This implies that the medical errors are very rampant in the US health systems of delivering care but many errors are not identified and hence are not rectified.
In a very recent study, researchers analyzed 37 million records of patients in the US hospitals and applied mortality as well as the economic impact-models that were developed and put forward by Dr.Chunliu in 2003 and later published in the medical association journal of America (Association, 2009). The researchers found out that almost 100% of the patients whose deaths occurred following medical errors would have absolutely survived if the optimal and best healthcare were provided to these patients.
The medical errors can occur even during performance of the routine tasks like when a patient in a hospital who is strictly restricted from taking diets having salt is by a mistake served with the high-salt meal. Majority of these medical errors in the US are because of various problems that are created by the complex system of health care that exist in the US currently (Sultz, 2010). Nevertheless, medical errors occur when there is a problem with communication between the doctor and the patient.
In a study that has been supported by AHRQ (Agency-for-Healthcare-Research-and-Quality), doctors have been found not to do enough when it comes to helping the patients to make personal informed decisions (Nguyen, 2008). In turn, uninformed and uninvolved patients may not accept the certain treatment chosen by the doctor and may decline to do all that the doctor advises them in order for the prescribed treatment options to work.
If any healthcare provider chooses a method of giving the healthcare, which is inappropriate or chooses a right method but executes this method incorrectly, this will also be termed as a medical error. Therefore, the definitions of medical errors are broad since medical errors could range from minor errors to the major types of errors and the causality is most often than not, poorly determined.
Some of the deaths that have been induced by these medical errors are secondary to lack of the prevention of medication errors due to the increase in the costs needed to prevent various medication errors that have sprung up to approximately $2 billion annually (Naylor, 2010). Medication errors alone kill around 7,000 US citizens every year despite the fact that they can be prevented with the stipulated policies.
Research highlights that a good percentage of the medical errors could be associated with the inexperienced nurses, doctors, and physicians. Moreover, these errors could arise due to incompetence of the medical personnel in performing new healthcare procedures that could be very complex and urgent requiring fresh brains of young providers of health care rather than the elderly clinicians (Nguyen, 2008). Furthermore, poor communication either between patient and the doctor or among the collaborative medical team is also a significant source of medical errors. Coupled with this issue, is the aspect of unclear authority lines of the physicians, nurses as well as other providers of health care. Anything can go wrong if effective communication is not passed across these teams hence leading to errors in the transmission of the medical messages.
Improper documentation as well as illegible handwriting in the documented information can also be a form a medical error. It is said that if something has not been documented, then there is no evidence that it has been done and thus wrongly documented information might evidence the wrong healthcare activities or mislead the respective healthcare team involved in a patients care. Currently, the US is faced with inadequate ratios of nurse-to-patient due to the shortage of the nurses, a factor that leads to overworking of the few available nurses predisposing them to committing medical errors.
In addition, if some medications normally located in the same area in the hospital ward were by a mistake named/labeled similarly, then a nurse administering the medication to the patient would confuse and administer the wrong type of medication. It is also worth noting that the patients' actions could as well cause medical errors (Naylor, 2010). For instance, if a patient who was on mandatory artificial oxygenation slides and fall from the bed in absence of a medical practitioner, the nasal prongs could get disconnected from the nose leading to death if no provider of health care is around to assist the patient.
Approximately 80 % of the medical errors occurring in the US complex systems of healthcare can be attributed to human error. However, the vast numbers of the medical errors are secondarily a result of faulty systems as well as processes that are faulty coupled with poor practices of the care providers and incompetent practitioners of health care. The health care in the US has become complex owing to the upcoming complicated technologies and many new drugs in the market some of which are so powerful and others that react badly to the patients.
In addition, the prolonged patient stays in the hospitals especially in the intensive care unit can also be a source of medical errors. It might not be easy to prevent such patients from getting all nossocomial infections as they are admitted in the hospital beds. This will mean a medical error of cross infection of a different patient occurring when unexpected. All these complexity have played a major part in causing these medical errors.
The design of the systems of health care in the US, have thus additionally contributed to some medical errors in one way or the other. The Medicine Institute in the US highlights that medical errors are not because of bad healthcare personnel but are because of good people working in systems of healthcare that are bad and unsafe (Jenicek, 2010). These systems portray poor communication, reporting systems that are disconnected in within the hospital leading to fragmented systems with poor coordination. Moreover, many US hospitals have over relied on these inefficient automated systems in preventing errors hence worsening the situation. There is also a problem of infrastructure failure whereby the sophisticated medical equipment lack skilled operators.
Medical errors also result from variations in the competency, training and education levels among the providers of healthcare. Some of these medical practitioners never even recognize the seriousness and prevalence of the medical errors and especially the new medical staffs in teaching hospitals (Thomas, 2006). Moreover, these personnel, especially the intern doctors and other nurses are faced with the problem of ergonomics and human factors like sleep deprivation while trying to maximize their income, a factor that predisposes them to making medical errors.
Very many solutions have been proposed and developed to solve these medical errors and reduce their occurrence in the health sector. Firstly, in order to solve the errors occurring regarding the medicines, the patients have been advised on the need to be active participants while being given healthcare by the medical personnel. The patients are supposed to ensure that all the doctors who attend to them are aware of everything they have been or are taking to include over-the-counter drugs, herbs, and dietary supplements like vitamins. In this way, the doctor is able to decide on what best to prescribe or advise on without errors.
Moreover, the patient should tell the doctor about his past medication allergies in order to prevent some drug induced adverse reactions. Every patient should also be able to read the doctor's prescription or if not clear seek interpretation of the unclear part. The patient is also supposed to ascertain from the hospital pharmacy that the medication he is issued with was what the physician prescribed. Any questions about directions labeled on the medicine and the side effects of the prescribed medications should be sought.
Concerning the hospital stays for those patients admitted for treatment or awaiting operation, the patient should choose the hospital in which the number of various other patients having a similar condition or undergoing a similar surgery is high in order to get better results. The providers of health care should also be clean and the patient should be explained to, on how to take his medications after discharge from a hospital (Young & Koopsen, 2009). Moreover, it is necessary to ensure that the surgeon and your doctor have agreed on what needs to be done and are clear about it. The surgeries that are done on wrong sites are however not so rampant in the US because some measures have been strictly followed to prevent this act. For instance, the orthopaedic surgeons in American academy have come up with a protocol, which dictates that a surgeon should sign his initials on the site of operation before commencing the surgery.
Many policies have also been put into place to discipline the people who commit deliberate mistakes while delivering health care. The medical personnel are supposed to adhere to certain ethics and be ready to ever-serve the patients doing no harm but only with a mind of helping the patient (Asped, 2009). If these professional ethics are adhered to, then the increased rate of the medical errors is bound to decrease to minimal levels or trickle down to zero.
While looking at all the above solutions, I believe the biggest responsibility as far as reducing the medical errors is concerned, lies with the patient. This is because the patient is the central core of the health care and is always aware of anything that might go wrong in the provision of the care. If patients know their role when it comes to the management of a certain disease, then they will work forward towards getting the best care.
Sadly, the providers of health care and in this respect the nurses and the doctors are at times never aware of a medical error either due to the ignorance or due to immense workload secondary to the recent shortages in the medical workforce in the US. Therefore, we cannot sit and wait for the healthcare personnel to streamline our healthcare. Instead, every patient should strive to know or be made to know the importance of participating in the personal health care be it in the hospital, in the clinics or at homes.
Apparently, there exist problems with the systems that are used to manage the healthcare of the patients in the hospitals. With this information in mind, the patients should strictly ascertain that all that has taken place since the commencement of their healthcare in a hospital until discharge is the right thing. As it stands, not all medical professionals have the sufficient experience needed or knowledge to perform some of the healthcare activities assigned to them (Young & Koopsen, 2009). This rings an alarm to the patients to always-make an effort of choosing the right personal doctor, who can easily guide them while seeking more expertise health care that for instance involves a specialized type of surgery, which might not be performed, by the personal doctor.
However, for some of the patients not having a personal doctor, there is need to consult and read more on the medical condition they have been diagnosed with, from the hospital. This can be read from books as well as the internet so that each patient knows what care to expect and all about the medications he is supposed to receive (Docteur, 2010). We cannot always rely on the providers of healthcare to report a medical error because not all of them are trustworthy and genuine enough to report a personal error. Therefore, if all the providers of healthcare were to be empathetic with the patient by considering the negative effects medical errors have on many patients, then the death rates resulting from medical errors could become outdated.
However, the implementation of this measure would require an implementation plan and this would mean launching health education seminars and campaigns aimed at educating the public on what quality health care entails. This way, the patients will be able to correct any wrongly done medical service and report it instantly for the correct rectifying measures to be taken.
Even though, the medical personnel need to put the interests of the patients at heart and respect their professional standards in order to ensure that quality error free care is provided to the patients. They should strictly adhere to the laid down policies, regulations and rules and embrace the responsibility and the accompanying accountability in their job so that the patients can benefit at large (Asped, 2009). The US government should also help in ensuring that the medical professionals, who commit deliberate medical errors that cause deaths, are corrected accordingly since this will ensure accountability among the medical team. An electronic system of recording the reported medical errors by the patients or the medical personnel should also be developed to keep a record of such events.
Therefore, it is paramount to understand that the patient plays a major role in his care and determines the quality of care he receives. If the doctors and the nurses are pushed by the patients to deliver the best care in terms of being corrected, they will definitely deliver the required health services. This knowledge on the patient's role would even empower all the health care seekers with the right ways of seeking compensation even in a court of law or in their desired institutions if a medical error has caused detrimental harm to the patient or led to death

We have all heard stories or seen movies about superheroes and they all have a special trait that makes them separate from the others. But, did you know there are such unique people among us who are real just like you and me? We were all told that we are unique and special, however there are some people who are literally one of a kind. Here are 30 photos of people with rare physical traits that you will definitely find surprising.
1. A baby was born with the same birthmark as the mother
Majority of people have some birthmark on the body, but these two have the same birthmark at the same place. This is actually Poliosis, a condition that happens when there is melanin absence on a hairy part of the body. This is usually caused by an autoimmune destruction of the pigment cells or can be inherited like in this case.
2. An iris that is split in half
This can easily be achieved by wearing contacts, but this person actually has eyes that are multicolored. It is a condition called heterochromia iridis, which happens as a result of an injury, disease or simply genetics. The one on the photo is called heterochromia which means the iris has 2 different colors one of which is usually dominant and there is just a splash of the other one.
3. This man has 6 fingers on both hands, so he can flip someone off with 2 fingers
The condition this man has is called polydactyly and it runs in his family. Him and his son both have 12 fingers and toes, but his son had surgery when he was young. He has thumbs but they don't bend at the knuckle, they can only be moved at the base of the fingers.
4. Mirror hand syndrome or Ulnar Dimelia
This is a deformity when there is duplication of the ulna that results in absence of thumbs but the appearance of seven or eight fingers. This is so rare that there were only 100 recorded occurrences.
5. This man inherited a thumb from both his parents
We all know that we are a combination of our parent's genes, but in this case that combination is too obvious. This man has different thumbs that he got from each of his parents.
6. She was born without a nail, so they put googly eyes on it
This condition is genetic and can affect the fingernails or toenails. People who have anonychia congenita usually miss all of their nails but in some cases only a few are missing or just partially. People who have this condition don't usually have other health problems as a result.
7. This boy was born with elf ears
This deformity results in an extra cartilage fold that gives the appearance of an elf ear. If noticed early enough it can be corrected with ear molding.
8. This person used humor as a way to cope
This is called amniotic band syndrome. The person in the photo said they used to arm wrestle and because of their condition they wanted to throw off their opponents before the match by shaking their hand.
9. This person is missing a finger on their left arm and they have an index finger instead of a thumb
This condition is called Symbrachydactyly and it is actually the case when people are missing fingers or sometimes they are underdeveloped. These malformations are often treated with physical therapy, prosthetics and surgery when possible.
10. A scar in the eye
Although it looks edited, this photo is actually real and it is a condition called macular pucker. This is scar tissue that forms in the macula and it happens when the interior gel-like substance of the eye called vitreous pulls itself away from the retina.
11. He has freckles on only half of his face
This man thought he was the only one with this kind of freckles until one woman reported having an unusual freckle pattern. However, it was determined that in fact she had a specific type of birthmark that started developing when she was just an embryo. When these pigment cells mutate or the cells migrate, it causes the sharp cut off that marks the borders of the birthmark clearly.
12. He has two symmetrical hair whorls that grow in different directions
It looks like a really cool haircut but I think every barber would have a hard time doing this on purpose. Hair whorls are normal patches of hair that cause the hair to grow in a certain direction, but this boy actually has two of them. Behaviorists studied the genetic background and whether there is a link between handedness and the direction of the whirl but they did not conclude anything definite.
13. This person has 1/3 of a grey eye
This is called sectoral heterochromia as only one part of the iris is of a different color compared to the rest of it. This condition is called by an injury, disease, chimerism or is sometimes inherited.
14. These Eyelashes look painted
This person woke up one day and saw half of her eyelashes were white. She was 11 at the time and her mom first thought that she bleached them. However, now more than half of her eyelashes were affected. This condition is called Vitiligo and it occurs when your immune system is weak in a particular part of the body which results in the absence of color pigmentation.
15. His index finger tip was cut off when he was 10, and his daughters index finger is almost the same size as her dad's
This case would definitely require a more specialized scientific approach. Research show that it is impossible to inherit non-heritable characteristics that result from an accident or injury, so this case is probably just a weird coincidence.
16. A woman and her sister in law have the same connected toes so they celebrated with matching tattoos
This condition is well known as webbed toes and the medical term is syndactyly. It can affect fingers or toes and is very common among animals, but much rarer in humans. It occurs once in every 2000 to 2500 births.
17. Just one streak of very dark hair
The opposite condition of having a white streak but you normally have dark hair is called poliosis. However, there is no special name for this occurrence, so some people just call it a 'birthmark' or just a discoloration that will even out eventually.
18. Tentacles under the tongue
This is not a prosthetic; it is called plica frimbriata or fimbriated folds of the tongue. This happens when the tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth has small tags or growths. Those growths are usually harmless unless they get stuck between your teeth.
19. This person can grab things backwards
People who can do this are often called double jointed because of the hypermobility of their joints making them able to move them beyond their normal range. This can be seen mostly in children and it reduces significantly with age as the adults who can do this are very rare. Hypermobility can be caused by stretched ligaments, altered bone shapes, muscle tone or stiffness as well as proprioception (sense of movement).
20. They balance each other perfectly: He was born with 6 toes on his left foot and his co-worker with 4 on her right one
Having six toes is called hexadactyly which simply means six digits in Latin. It can manifest as an extra finger on the side of the toes or in between them. These growths are usually harmless and can easily be removed with surgery, however they can be a side effect of an underlying condition.
21. This person was born without a thumb and a right pinky
10% of all newborns are born with some hand malformation which usually occur early in pregnancy and are a symptom of another condition or just inherited. In this case the person has a cleft hand which happens with abnormal formation of the middle part of the palm. It can come in two types: typical, V-shaped, which involves missing or partially missing the middle finger and the atypical which involves just one hand and is U-shaped
22. Five fingers but no thumb
This person has fivefunctioning fingers, but not the right ones apparently. They look like they don't have a thumb, but in fact it is there it just has three phalanges instead of the usual two. This can be reconstructed with surgery. It occurs in 1 in every 25,000 newborns.
23. This person was born without a nose bridge
The nasal bridge is the area of the nose that includes the nasal root and the lateral aspects of the organ. This person was born with a depressed nasal bridge which can be caused due to many conditions such as achondroplasia, Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, osteogenesis imperfect, Klippel-Feil syndrome, cleidocranial dysplasia, children with neurodevelopmental delay and achondroplasia. The person in this photo said their condition has one upside which is their nose never bleeds.
24. This person has a thumb that can't be bent
The condition is called trigger finger and is found in one or more tendons in a hand. Tendons allow fingers to flex but when it is too swollen it locks into position. Eventually the tendon becomes permanently locked causing this condition that affects 3 in every 1000 live births.
25.This girl was born with the number 2 on her head
Unusual birthmarks have always raised interesting discussion and debates and in some cultures they have a hidden meaning or a special significance. However, these parents were not superstitious to that extent and they joked that the reason their daughter has this birthmark is that she was supposed to have a twin but she ate it.
26. Imagine having your hands constantly pruney at all times
Pruney fingers usually happen when we spend lots of time in water. Scientists think it is an evolutionary trait as it helped pick vegetation in wet environment because pruney fingers are less slippery.
27. The little finger of this person is their biggest one
This looks like the fingers were misplaced. It is a condition caused macrodactyly which causes a person to have fingers or toes that are larger than the others. It is believed that it happens as a result of an abnormal blood supply or nerve.
28.A fascinating photo of a person's bruise that can be seen in the light
Besides the bruise this photo is also interesting since the bones of the person can't be seen at all. This is because the flesh and skin diffuse the light making her fingers look like a pane of frosted glass.
29. An example of polydactyly in a newborn
This is a photo of a baby that was born with 12 fingers and 12 toes which happens because of a condition caused polydactyly.
30. This person has a single line across their palm
