Retail pharmacists and opticians will win a reprieve after it emerged the Government is poised to scale back the reach of its controversial Vetting and Barring Scheme, which would have covered some 100,000 staff.
As part of the Freedom Bill, the Home Office minister Lynne Featherstone is due to present her review to Parliament as early as Friday and is set to exclude all sales staff working in high-street pharmacies and opticians. Instead, the scheme is likely to cover only opticians and pharmacists, such as those at Boots and Specsavers.
As originally proposed, the British Retail Consortium estimated the scheme would have cost health-related shops "at least" £6m to carry out checks on nearly 100,000 staff.
The Vetting and Barring Scheme is designed to improve child protection as part of the recommendations of the Bichard Inquiry into the Soham murders by Ian Huntley.

Not what you'll be wanting to hear, but I'm pretty sure there's no way of achieving a totally seamless look without specialist equipment. When you see them for sale, they've been woven as a single piece.
However, I did find this:
Which describes a way to make a zentai-style hood with a back seam and some darts in the top, which is probably about as good as you'll get.

I figured that seamless wouldn't be possible, so a tutorial like that is probably the best I coul ask for! Thankyou Odangochan!

Frederickby Leo Lionni
Winter is near and all the field mice are busy preparing and gathering food for the cold months ahead-all except for Frederick. Always the daydreamer, Frederick is preparing a small surprise that will warm the hearts and feed the spirits of his fellow mice when they need it most.
Editorial Reviews
"In Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail demonstrates that a seemingly purposeless life is indeed far from that—and that we need not live by bread alone!"—Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar
"When dreary winter comes, it is Frederick the poet-mouse who warms his friends and cheers them with his words." —Wilson Library Bulletin.

Best book ever! My mother would read this to me every night when I was a child. Now I read it to my son.
Frederick and his family of mice are gathering the supplies that they are going to need for survival through winter. While the other mice were working hard gathering ¿corn and nuts and wheat and straw,¿ Frederick spends time gathering sunrays, colors, and words. When winter comes the mice all run to ¿their hideout in the stones.¿ At first the mice family was fine. But after a while they began to get low on food and supplies, but winter wasn¿t over. Then they turn to ask ¿what about your supplies, Frederick?¿ Leo Lionni lived in Tuscany, Italy until he passed away in October 1999. He is both an author and an illustrator. I thought this book has good use of black and white pictures. The story line also taught that people have different ways of dealing with situations, and that is okay. He is well known throughout the country for both his illustrations and stories. In 1959 he wrote his first book for his grandchildren on a dull train road. Leo Lionni has won four Caldecott Medal Awards, including Frederick.
This book is a beautiful story about a young mouse who while every member of his family are busily preparing a stockpile of food for the winter, Frederick, just sits around. While all through the book you are wondering why Frederick isn¿t doing anything to help, and what he really means by comments like, ¿I gather sun rays for the cold dark winter days,¿ and ¿I gather color, for winter is gray.¿ At the end, however, in the coldest part of winter, the little mouse family begins to run out of food, get colder, and finally no one even feels like talking. Read this wonderful book to find out what Frederick had been doing, and how he comes to his families¿ aid to get them through the cold winter days. The author of this book Leo Lionni lived in Tuscany, Italy until he passed away in October of 1999. Lionni is both an author an illustrator and is very well known for his work with both. He launched his career in 1959 when he wrote his first book for his grandchildren on a dull train road. Along with this book, Lionni has also won three other Caldecott Medal Awards for his books and his beautiful illustrations.
While the other field mice toil all the day long in preparation for winter, little Frederick sits idly by, taking in the colors and images of the world. They think he's a bit lazy and resent doing all the work, but in the depths of winter when they are cold, hungry and miserable- it's Frederick who feeds their souls with visions and poetry! One of the best children's stories from the gentle master, Leo Lionni
I like this book because it was funny. I also like this book because I like the picture.
Great for the creative dreamers in all of us!
An outstanding book. I give Frederick as a gift to many people for all occassions. It invites personal interpretation of imagination and poetry and harmony and individuallity and support of community. It inspires.
To me, this book is very important and dear to my heart. It shows that some of us are not 'task masters' but artists, musicians and writers. They think and do things differently than those who are good at mastering a trade. I've held Frederick in my heart for 40 years since I first read it. He is a strong voice for those of us who may be considered 'different.'
Some gather food and dig ditches, Frederick writes poems and sings. A good book to get kids to work smart and not too hard.
It is filled with color and is a great book for children. It taught me to think on the bright side of things. It was about a field mouse (Fredrick) who collects all the colors from summer to save for the cold gray winter days, as the other mice are collect food. at the end of the story Fredrick shows his colors in a beautiful poem.

First of all, Fuel Relief Fund would like to thank all of the donors for their generous support of this response to help those in need in the areas most affected by Hurricane Sandy. Without the generous outpouring of support, none of this would be possible. Each and every individual donation helps tremendously. We also want to thank GlobalGiving and their corporate sponsors for their generous contributions and special considerations in expediting funds for the efforts.
Fuel Relief Fund is a small organization that is making important and immediate differences in victims' everyday lives.
This organization has been quietly responding to major disasters since Hurricane Katrina. It provided diesel to critical response operations in Haiti after the devastating earthquake there. They passed out kerosene to Japanese survivors for home heating after the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. They distributed bags of coal to residents in Van, Turkey last November after the major earthquake in that region.
And now they have responded on-scene at the heart of the wreckage left by Superstorm Sandy. It started on Tuesday, October 30th when the Board of Directors of this non-profit, charitable organization decided response was needed and appropriate. Quickly after that a loaded fuel tanker was dispatched from Pacific Tank Lines in Riverside, California. Ted Honcharik, owner of Pacific Tank Lines and a founding member of the Fuel Relief Fund, jumped on a plane to assess the situation in advance. It took 3 days for the tanker to get to the East Coast (drivers of hazardous materials trucks are restricted in their on-duty time), but once there action began quickly.
On Saturday, November 3rd, the Fuel Relief Fund truck opened near a fire station in Hoboken, NJ. It dispensed free fuel to victims carrying 5 gallon fuel containers during daylight hours. The next day Fuel Relief Fund began dispensing in Staten Island, NY. Monday dispensing occurred in Long Branch, NJ.
In three days, the Fuel Relief Fund distributed gasoline and diesel in 5 gallon increments to over 1700 needy individuals. And they are helping by providing fuel to Red Cross, FEMA, National Guard, and local emergency response vehicles. Then, they needed to drive to Delaware to refill their tanker truck. Then, they returned with fuel and were met with a second tanker truck and more volunteers from Mansfield Oil, headquartered in Gainesville, GA. The fuel was given out in Union Beach, NJ; Rockaway Beach, NY area; Far Rockaway, NY; and the Sea Bright and Toms River, NJ area. The Rockaway, Queens area was the visual focal point for the post-storm impacts.
Bill Lavin, an Elizabeth, New Jersey fire captain assisting Fuel Relief in Hoboken, had this to say about the response efforts taken from an open email he sent the organization, "When you first told me you had a tanker full of "free" fuel to distribute to those in greatest need, I never fully understood the impact you would have. Hoboken, NJ on Saturday (sic) was remarkable to hear the residents express surprise and gratitude that some people would be so thoughtful and generous as to drive across country and provide the most needed resource to them and at no cost.
"I couldn't help but noticing, there was a line for water 20 people long, a line for food 30 people deep, and then looked at the line for fuel which stretched 250 to 300 strong. Validating exactly what you told me, without fuel, not much else can get accomplished."
There are many more photos, articles, and testimonials that can be found on the Fuel Relief Fund's website and Facebook page. Thank you, again, for your support of this effort to give relief and help to those most affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Economic recovery ongoing
Economics, said Dr. Warren Jestin, is a confidence game.
"Confidence in the sense that if businesses don't have confidence, they won't spend," said the chief economist for Scotiabank. "If consumers don't have confidence, they won't spend."
That confidence is on it's way back, said Jestin, who delivered a talk at Okanagan College on the key economic and financial market trends that are likely to influence the Canadian economy through 2013.
"The U.S. consumer is finally spending and that should drive the economy back at a fairly fast rate," said Jestin, who spent a lot of time discussing U.S. politics and economy during his talk, focusing on the struggles the U.S. federal government is having with the economy.
While federal wrangling is likely to continue for some time as Republicans and Democrats find more ways to disagree, the U.S. is still seen as a low-risk investment on the world market.
"Why? Because U.S. business has strong balance sheets in general, strongest I have ever seen," said Jestin. "The good news is U.S. consumers are starting to spend. We are seeing it in a wide variety of ways. U.S. car sales are going up. We are also finding that the U.S. housing industry is coming back in a big way."
It is a slow recovery for the housing market, but the direction is clear, according to Jestin.
"The mood has changed, Americans are buying houses now," he said. "This has a major impact on one key industry in B.C. and that is the forest products industry. If you look at lumber prices, and you look at the outlook for lumber, it has changed very fundamentally."
The outlook for B.C. resources is especially strong, thanks to the development of an offshore market, principally in Asian markets, at the same time as Canada's traditional export market begins to recover.
Those markets mean more to Canada and B.C., however, than simply resource exports. As income goes up in many developing nations, Jestin said, so is demand rising.
"There is a new buyer out there. Protein consumption is going up. It's going to affect grains, oil seeds, it is going to affect many other areas of agriculture," he said. "We are talking about a structural shift in global demand. There are new consumers out there. There are more cars and trucks sold in China than there are in the sum total of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico."
For the Okanagan Valley, he said, there are more tourism dollars out there. While B.C. tourism has traditionally focused on the American market, their tourism spending has been eclipsed, as has that of Germany, Britain and France.
"So this year, who is number one? China. It's unbelievable," said Jestin. "Many of these tourists haven't started travelling yet, globally, and they are spending more than any other country in the world.
"The world is changing. The market opportunities are changing."

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2)
Pic has a wafer-thin plot and an interesting use of locations in remote parts of the island nation, but visually, with its truly annoying DV hand-held homemovie look, which at times goes beyond ugly, the film limits itself to the fest circuit.
A blend of youthful uncertainty and experimental panache.
The sort of film that digs into your mind and hangs about, mostly because of Brynja Thora Gudnadottir and her performance as Hildur.

It is surprisingly that once again fantasy basketball fans are still putting their faith in SG Ray Allen of the Miami Heat.
However, due to Allen's average draft position right now, that seems to be the case this season. He is currently being drafted as the 17th ranked shooting guard in standard ESPN leagues, which is absolutely absurd considering his recent performance. He is being grabbed ahead of reliable fantasy options like Kevin Martin, Gerald Henderson, Dion Waiters, and even Manu Ginobili.
This is not the Ray Allen from 2002, though. This is the guy that averaged an embarrassing 10.9 points per game last season. The 10-time NBA All-Star also only played 25.8 minutes per game last season and spent the majority of each game watching from the bench. The 38-year-old is simply a role player at this point in his career and doesn't offer much for fantasy fans to get excited about.
He may hit one or two three-pointers per game, but Allen doesn't do much else besides that. He averaged just 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last season, so if he didn't knock down a couple threes, he had a completely worthless outing.
Don't be fooled by name recognition, because Allen shouldn't be drafted within the first 15 rounds in any format. There will be better options on the wavier wire, so avoid Allen at all costs this year.

Issues of Death by Michael Neill
Book DescriptionDeath, like most experiences that we think of as natural, is a product of the human imagination: all animals die, but only human beings suffer Death; and what they suffer is shaped by their own time and culture. Tragedy was one of the principal instruments through which the culture of early modern England imagined the encounter with mortality. The essays in this book approach the theatrical reinvention of Death from three perspectives. Those in Part I explore Death as a trope of apocalypse - a moment of un-veiling or dis-covery that is figured both in the fearful nakedness of the Danse Macabre and in the shameful openings enacted in the new theatres of anatomy. Separate chapters explore the apocalyptic design of two of the periods most powerful tragedies - Shakespeare's Othello, and Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling. In Part 2, Neill explores the psychological and affective consequences of tragedy's fiercely end-driven narrative in a number of plays where a longing for narrative closure is pitched against a particularly intense dread of ending. The imposition of an end is often figured as an act of writerly violence, committed by the author or his dramatic surrogate. Extensive attention is paid to Hamlet as an extreme example of the structural consequences of such anxiety. The function of revenge tragedy as a response to the radical displacement of the dead by the Protestant abolition of purgatory - one of the most painful aspects of the early modern re-imagining of death - is also illustrated with particular clarity. Finally, Part 3 focuses on the way tragedy articulates its challenge to the undifferentiating power of death through conventions and motifs borrowed from the funereal arts. It offers detailed analyses of three plays - Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, and Ford's The Broken Heart. Here, funeral is rewritten as triumph, and death becomes the chosen instrument of an heroic self-fashioning designed to dress the arbitrary abruption of mortal ending in a powerful aesthetic of closure.

Dukakis, in Fiery Michigan Rally, Demands Atom Plant Safeguards
By ROBIN TONER, Special to the New York Times

WARREN, Mich., Oct. 28— Gov. Michael S. Dukakis today assailed safety lapses at the Department of Energy's nuclear production plants, and aides asserted that his new aggressiveness was building momentum for his underdog campaign.
At an ebullient rally north of Detroit in Macomb County, widely considered an indicator of blue-collar voting patterns, Mr. Dukakis asserted that the situation at the department's uranium processing plant at Fernald, near Cincinnati, was ''a disgrace.''
A Congressional panel recently reported that Government officials overseeing the Ohio plant knew for decades that they were releasing thousands of tons of radioactive uranium waste into the environment, but did little to remedy the situation.
''Imagine feeling what they feel,'' the Governor said of two Fernald families he recently met. ''To live near a plant for decades, to find out it was leaking poison, to find out that your Government knew and did nothing.''
Mr. Dukakis added: ''That's a disgrace. It's a betrayal of our national trust and our national security. And I'm going to make sure that that kind of thing never, ever happens again in the United States of America.'' He offered no specifics.
Dukakis aides argue that this fiery politicking, with its class-conscious theme of ''I'm on your side,'' has been swaying voters in critical states over the past few days.
While refusing to disclose details of internal polls, John Sasso, vice chairman of the Dukakis campaign, asserted today that Mr. Dukakis was closing Vice President Bush's lead in Ohio, California and Texas. He also said the campaign's national polling Thursday night ''shows a narrowing consistent with what you've seen in the public polls.''
Mark Mellman, a Democratic poll taker, said his surveys in Ohio for Senator Howard M. Metzenbaum showed that Mr. Dukakis trailed Mr. Bush by 18 percentage points after the second Presidential debate, but had closed that gap to six points in the last three days.
At the same time, however, the Republicans were boasting that a new survey by the Cuyahoga County Republican Organization showed Mr. Bush quite close in that traditionally Democratic county, which is dominated by Cleveland.
In addition to the candidate's sharpened style, the Dukakis campaign has tried to build momentum this week with a series of television interviews. Beyond the simple goal of visibility, the candidate and his aides hope to contrast their openness to what they call the ''cocoon'' around Mr. Bush. This Race is Tightening Up'
At Warren today, Mr. Dukakis asserted, ''Folks, this race is tightening up. It's tightening up here in Michigan, and it's tightening up all over this country. You can know it and feel it and sense it.
''Mr. Bush is out there in his little cocoon and they won't let him out. We're going to take our case directly to the American people.''
Mr. Sasso made the same point to reporters. ''I'll tell you this,'' he said. ''If Bush has to come out of the cocoon, he's in trouble. He's going to have to come out and start answering questions.
''I mean, think about it. If he won't come out now under the circumstances and answer the questions, what's he going to do as President of the United States?'' At his rally at Macomb Community
College today, Mr. Dukakis brought his new fervor to a denunciation of the Government's nuclear safety record.
''We're going to have nuclear production facilities in this country that are safe and well managed and well run, and aren't a threat to the workers and aren't a threat to the people in those neighborhoods,'' he said.
''The Savannah River Plant is shut down,'' he said. ''The Rocky Flats plant doesn't know where to dispose of the radioactive waste. And Fernald, Ohio - for decades the Department of Energy knew that the plant was contaminated, that it was poisoning air and water, and the Department of Energy still today is resisting the release of medical records of those workers.''
The Massachusetts Governor, who was joined on the podium today by the quintessential Detroit rock-and-roller Bob Seeger, also rose to the defense of Detroit workers, hardly an unpopular cause here. He recalled that in 1987 Mr. Bush had said of Soviet tank mechanics that if ''they run out of work in the Soviet Union, send them to Detroit, because we could use that kind of ability.''
Mr. Dukakis, clearly relishing his role as protector of working people, said to the roar of his audience, ''I don't think we need any Soviet mechanics telling American workers how to produce.''

1 Samuel 13:19-22New International Version (NIV)
19 Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!" 20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plow points, mattocks, axes and sickles[a] sharpened. 21 The price was two-thirds of a shekel[b] for sharpening plow points and mattocks, and a third of a shekel[c] for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
22 So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

For the first time, a comprehensive survey is offering a measured estimate of the Pygmy population in Central Africa.
In addition to tallying the number of Pygmies, the study plots the geographic range of Pygmy communities and highlights the natural resources most vital to their existence.
The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, puts the Pygmy population at approximately 920,000. Their range is spread across 440 million acres of tropical forest in Central Africa, an area encompassing nine countries.
Those numbers sound large, and to some extent they are. Pygmies are the largest group of active hunter-gatherers on Earth.
But the Pygmies are also a tiny minority.
"At the end of the day, 900,000 people living in small groups in such a vast area can very easily be ignored, leading to their cultural extinction," study co-author John Fa, a researcher at the Manchester Metropolitan University in England, said in a press release. "Given the extraordinary role they have played in the human story since well before antiquity, we don't want that."
There is no Pygmy survey, and counting such a small group of people spread across such a vast landscape is nearly impossible. So researchers adapted ecological modeling normally used to measure the population and distribution of plant and animal species.
"By using tried and tested animal and plant distribution models we hope to promote a greater awareness of the importance of these too often ignored and marginalized groups in this region," said Jesus Olivero, a researcher at the University of Malaga who helped develop the statistical model.
The study was conducted in order to gather information needed to better protect the indigenous group and their way of life.
"This is a very underprivileged and neglected group of people many of whom have already lost their forest land, livelihoods and whose rich cultural traditions are seriously threatened in many regions," explained study co-author Jerome Lewis, an anthropologist at the University College London. "Information on their locations and population numbers are crucial for developing appropriate human rights, cultural and land security safeguards for them, as for other indigenous peoples."

In mammals, including humans, puberty onset reflects the activation of the neuroendocrine reproductive axis, and adolescence is therefore a time of key physiological, anatomical, behavioral, and psychological changes. However, the specific processes timing and governing the activation of the reproductive axis during pubertal maturation and earlier developmental stages remain poorly understood, as does the reason for earlier sexual maturation in girls than boys. Similarly, the reason for a higher incidence of precocious puberty in girls and delayed puberty in boys is unclear. Recently, the neuropeptide kisspeptin, and its receptor Kiss1R, have been implicated in pubertal development and adulthood fertility. Encoded by the Kiss1 gene, kisspeptin stimulates GnRH secretion in mammals, including humans, and mutations in Kiss1 or Kiss1R impair fertility and puberty in rodents and humans. Despite evidence linking hypothalamic Kiss1 neurons to the control of reproduction in adulthood, less attention has recently been given to the role of Kiss1 neurons prior to adulthood. The overall goal of this proposal is to investigate the role of the Kiss1 system in the sex-specific regulation the reproductive axis in postnatal and pubertal development.
Aim I will investigate the importance of kisspeptin signaling in the secretion of gonadal steroids during the postnatal "critical period", a process which directs sexual differentiation of the brain. Experiments in this aim will assess whether postnatal gonadal steroid secretion is impaired in mice lacking kisspeptin signaling, if kisspeptin treatment can induce gonadal steroid secretion in postnatal females, and whether Kiss1 neurons in specific brain nuclei are activated during postnatal gonadal steroid secretion.
Aim II will explore the role of the Kiss1 system in key stages of pubertal maturation. Experiments in this aim will determine when and where (in the brain) Kiss1 neurons first become activated during peripubertal development, whether changes in Kiss1R comprise a key element of pubertal development, and whether acute, short-term blockade of central or peripheral kisspeptin signaling impairs puberty onset.
Aim III will investigate the role of both gonadal hormones and non-gonadal factors in regulating Kiss1 neurons during peripubertal development. Experiments in this aim will analyze whether pubertal changes in hormone sensitivity of the reproductive axis reflect developmental changes in the sensitivity of Kiss1 neurons to hormone feedback, assess the timing of developmental changes in gonadal hormone-independent regulation of Kiss1 neurons in relation to puberty onset, and elucidate whether sex differences in peripubertal Kiss1 neurons are organized by hormones during early postnatal life. Overall, this proposal will provide a better understanding of how and when the reproductive axis is regulated during different critical stages of development, as well as where in the brain such regulation is specifically derived. This information could provide important insight into the mechanisms underlying hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, precious puberty, and delayed puberty.
Adolescence is a time of critical physiological, behavioral, and psychological changes, but the precise molecular, cellular, and neural mechanisms underlying the regulation of pubertal development remain one of the enigmas of modern science. This proposal investigates the role of hormones and kisspeptin signaling in the regulation of the reproductive axis during key periods of development, including the postnatal critical period and sexual maturation (puberty). This work will contribute to our understanding of the critical role of hormones and neural circuits in essential reproductive and developmental processes, and will provide further insight into the mechanisms responsible for various human reproductive disorders and diseases, such as idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, nutritional infertility, oligomenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and precocious or delayed puberty.

The thalamus plays a key role in integrating sensory information for further processing in the basal ganglia and cortex. In multiple sclerosis (MS), long thought to be primarily a white matter disease, it has recently been shown that cognitive decline is more strongly related to thalamic volume than to white matter magnetic resonance image (MRI) lesion load. Since the thalamus is made up of nuclei having specific physical connections within the brain, it may be possible to relate physical changes in thalamic nuclei caused by MS to specific cognitive, behavioral, or disease subtype differences. This grant proposes to develop an automated method and associated software tool to carry out thalamic nuclei parcellation using MRI. Specifically, it is proposed to: 1) optimize the computation of thalamic features from anatomical and diffusion MRI;2) develop an integrated, multi-nuclear thalamus segmentation algorithm;3) optimize the algorithm parameters using manual delineations;and 4) carry out a pilot study using an existing MRI database comprising 99 normal controls and 226 MS patients. The work builds on previous methods that exploit topology and connectivity in order to improve segmentation robustness. The primary innovation is to provide a coordinated multi-object approach that integrates intensity information from T1-weighted MRI with orientation information and connectivity information obtained from diffusion MRI. Primary diffusion directions will be mapped to a five- dimensional space in order to cluster nuclei by diffusion orientation and use this information in the parcellation algorithm. A machine learning approach applied to manual delineations will be used to learn boundary-specific properties that will be used to carry out a joint parcellation approach. The algorithm will be designed for conventional three tesla clinical MRI and will be validated using high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio seven tesla MRI on 15 subjects scanned contemporaneously with their three tesla scans. The pilot study will use 822 scans of 305 participants, and will examine longitudinal stability of the algorithm and a cross-sectional univariate statistical analysis relatng thalamic nuclei (or nuclear groups) volumes to various clinical measures including disease subtype, disease duration, visual acuity, and two standard MS composite disability scores. An exploratory principal component analysis of multiple thalamic nuclear volumes will be carried out to look for patterns of atrophy and their relationships to various clinical measures. The algorithm will be made publicly available as open source code on the NITRC website so that the entire neuroscience community will be able to use the algorithm to study other diseases or modify and extend it for other applications.
The project will develop software for the automatic segmentation and measurement of thalamic nuclei, which are thought to be affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). With this software applied to clinical magnetic resonance scans, the size of the thalamus and its nuclei will be available as biomarkers to track both the progression of MS and the success of its treatment. Open source software written in a highly portable language will be made available to the research community at the conclusion of the research grant.

Brocade Brings Aruba Into Network Subscription Program
The partnership means that organizations can now get networking from the core to the wireless edge through Brocade's 2-year-old initiative.Brocade two years ago introduced a new subscription model through which customers could get networking technology from the company on a pay-as-you-go basis, enabling businesses to pay for what they need and not have to spend a lot of money upfront. Now the vendor, through a partnership with Aruba Networks, is offering a broad range of wireless networking technology through the subscription program. It's a move that will benefit current customers and extend the reach of the program to businesses that might not have considered Brocade without a strong wireless offering. "This is the first time we will include the ability for customers to subscribe [for technology] from a third party," Lisa Paquette-Nelson, senior director of Brocade Capital Solutions, told eWEEK. With Aruba on board, businesses have access to a more complete offering of networking solutions, "from the core to the access layer to wireless." Brocade introduced its network subscription model to help address the rapidly changing dynamics and demands in the data center brought about by such trends as mobile computing, software-defined networking (SDN), cloud computing and bring-your-own-device (BYOD). Combined with the continued tightening of IT budgets, enterprises are looking for more cost-affordable ways to acquire technology while enabling network infrastructures to be more agile and flexible, according to company officials.
The response to the subscription plan has been strong, according to Paquette-Nelson. Brocade now has hundreds of subscription schedules, and the company is seeing that many customers that initially use the program to acquire some particular networking technologies are expanding their use of the program for other products. More than 80 percent of subscription customers take out subscriptions for more products.

Volcanoes are known mostly for their destructive force. But they are not all that bad. In fact, their existence allowed for the creation of natural warm water basins, also known as hot springs.
Cold and beautiful Iceland is particularly renowned for its geothermal waters of a beautiful pale blue color. The northern island-country has a high concentration of active volcanoes due to its location, which is also the reason for the numerous hot springs. The number of geothermal springs in Iceland is in fact so high that they are canalized and used as a source of electricity and heat for the homes.
The proximity of molten rock, or magma, to the surface of the earth heats the rocky structure of the ground, naturally warming up the rain water that infiltrated into the ground and created the natural springs. These water basins contain rich amounts of minerals such as silica and sulfur, which give the water its gorgeous, milky, blue tint. These minerals are also highly beneficial to the health, particularly for healing skins diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. They are the Icelandic version of salts infused baths, with a view that will beat any bathroom!

Therapists in Wilkesboro, NC
"Working as a licensed counselor for over 25 years has tenderized my heart towards those who want to get "unstuck" from patterns and places we all can find ourselves in. Though I specialize in trauma work and family systems, I work with clients who have anxiety issues, depression, abuse, addictions, sexual trauma, disturbing life events, self concept and life change adjustments. I love what I do and am passionate about walking with people through their pain, shame and fear to a place of hope."
"As a licensed counselor & addiction specialist, I've worked for 30 years with children, students, adults, couples, families, & the elderly. I specialize in treating serious emotional dysfunctions, personality disorders, addiction, ADHD, gambling, chronic illness/pain, & gender issues. I use mainly cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach with gestalt, existential, attachment, schema, family, systems, solution-focused, behavioral, motivational, mindfulness, & positive psychology techniques. In psychotherapy, I help to identify & explore personal needs & strengths, help to change thinking & behaving, & guide toward attainment of contentment & self-acceptance in the context of a personal meaning in life, responsibility, genuineness, & the pursuit of the best in self & life."
"People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are in crisis, others are at a turning point in their lives, many want to understand and change longstanding patterns that are self-defeating or unsatisfying. I have been in practice for 31 years, and I remain deeply curious and interested in people. I'm glad to have the opportunity to assist my clients on their journeys towards more balanced and meaningful lives. I have a general therapy practice, but I've been specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. I will begin seeing patients in my Boone office on September 1, 2016."
"My counseling career has primarily focused on working with clients 18 and older whose concerns are related to substance abuse/dependency, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and issues pertaining to relationships. I provide individual, group, and couples counseling. Typically, the clients I work with are concerned with issues related to the personal, emotional, and professional aspects of their lives. By pulling from your strengths, and resiliency, I strive to empower you, and assist you in expanding healthy awareness, rather than giving you advice."
"After 20+ years working as a Registered Nurse caring for the critically ill, I became very aware that treating physical pain & illness was not all that was needed for individuals to live a healthy, satisfying life. That was why I decided to become a counselor. Emotional pain may be more difficult to identify, but is just as dangerous, robbing people of their ability to find joy. If you are experiencing pain from a past trauma, a painful relationship, or a medicating behavior used by yourself or a loved one, I would love to help you find the tools for healing."

Romania's Princess Irina Walker has been arrested in the U.S. amid allegations she is a member of an illegal cockfighting ring.
The princess, who is the third daughter of King Michael I, was held by police in Oregon on Thursday (15Aug13), along with her husband.
They are accused of staging at least 10 illegal animal bouts since April last year (12).
Amanda Marshall, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, says, "Cockfighting is illegal under federal law and under the laws of all 50 states... Besides being a barbaric practice, cockfighting jeopardises public health and safety and facilitates the commission of other criminal acts."
Princess Irina moved to Oregon in 1983 in a bid to remain out of the public eye. Her father was forced to abdicate in 1947 as the country's monarchy was disestablished.

Always wear something on your head and safety glasses. Why you ask? Well,
I was trimming back a large overgrown privet up on a step ladder, large limb
cut loose where I wanted it to, but hit the edge of jerkboy's roof on his
shack and flipped back and coldcocked me in the head. The do rag I always
wear kept it from tearing the skin and all my glasses are safety glasses (I
get them through work) and that saved the left eye. Happened so fast I
couldn't jump off the ladder. Just dressed it w/ lemon verbena/witch hazel
toner. It's turning sriously purple already. That ought to start some
rumors at work tomorrow - LOL. Oh well. So if you're gonna do any
heavy trimming over your head - words to the wise my friends! Be safe -
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & like that....

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from I got this product as a full size sample because I shop at Sephora so much. But, I would definately get this full price. And the size can last a very long time. IT does take 20 minutes to get done, but my skin feels amazing. I just clean my face, put it on, and go onto the computer for 20 minutes, then I rinse and my skin feels awesome! I love it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from This is my new favorite product. I have been a loyal Ole user for about 5 years now and this is my latest addition. I had always used clay masks for my combo-acne prone skin with visible pores but I will never go back! This smells like a spa, is silky smooth and completely refreshing. I noticed a difference after the first use and can't wait to see what the future holds! Thanks for another great one :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from To say that I love this mask wout not be an exageration. I have semi-sensitive skin with some milia marks around my eyes. A skin care consultant suggested I try this mask once a week (she suggested at the end of a week to reap the benefits of the calming lanvender). My skin has been beautifully exfoliated which has been helping my makeup look better and last longer during the day. Before I wipe the mask off, I run a wash cloth under warm to hot water and spead it over my entire face and recline for a few minutes. Another winner from Ole!

For hours on end, transit drivers manage to keep a schedule, check fares, give directions, announce stops, remember stop requests and more, all while safely maneuvering an extra-large vehicle through unpredictable traffic, adverse weather conditions and some really tight spaces! The fact is, transit drivers don't have an easy job, they just make it look that way.
On March 18, King County Executive Dow Constantine and transit riders across the county celebrate the contributions of our hard-working bus drivers, Access drivers and rail operators. That could be as simple as a smile and a wave when you board the bus or train, and a "thank you" when you leave.

Pharmacy 5 years (including pre-registration training)
Duration: 5 years
Attendance mode: Full-time
Award: MPharm
Placement: Placement year available
Suitable for international students
Faculty of Life Sciences
Course search
At the University of Bradford we've been teaching pharmacy since 1927, and are experts in preparing students for the world of clinical practice.
Our unique 5-year MPharm programme has been running for 40 years and will enable you to undertake your pre-registration training as part of the programme. This means you will leave us as a qualified pharmacist pending successful completion of the GPhC registration exam. We also run a 4-year programme where you will need to complete a 1-year pre-registration period after graduation. If you are an international student and wish to register as a pharmacist in the UK, we recommend you select this pathway. We believe this will give you the best possible opportunity to work in two different pharmacies during your studies and comply with UK visa regulations.
Our pharmacy courses use Team-Based Learning as an innovative style of learning. Read more under 'Learning activities and assessment' below.
Students will have access to outstanding facilities including our Clinical Skills Suite, Industrial Pharmacy laboratory and Simulation Suite, which houses a 3D virtual dissection table and human patient simulator.
A degree in pharmacy can lead to careers in community, hospital, primary care and industrial pharmacy. You may also wish to consider pharmacy as an alternate career to medicine following Royal College of General Practitioners proposals whereby pharmacists will work alongside doctors in GP practice (see RGCP website).
Latest figures show that 96% of our 5-year graduates enter employment or further study within six months of graduation with a starting salary of £28,982.
For further information visit the School of Pharmacy website.
Professional Accreditation/Recognition
Entry to the profession of pharmacy is regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Both our MPharm programmes have recently been fully reaccredited for the maximum period of six years by the GPhC.
"The new MPharm programme has led to pre-registration students who are more ready for practice. Their clinical knowledge and problem solving skills are developed from much earlier in the course, leading to graduates ready to apply these skills from day one in their placement. This has been very advantageous to us, as employers, and to the students themselves".
Why Bradford?
In September 2012 we started to deliver our newly-accredited and innovative pharmacy curriculum using Team-Based Learning, built with advice from leading pharmacists, employers, recent graduates, patients and other key stakeholders to ensure patients get the best out of their medicines.
We are the only UK University to offer the 5-year practice-integrated MPharm programme, during which you have paid pre-registration placements and are able to qualify as a pharmacist when you leave university.
We have run this course successfully for over 40 years.
Alternatively you can choose the 4-year continuous programme where you complete your one-year pre-registration training after graduation.
The 5-year programme embeds two separate six-month periods of paid pre-registration experience within the course (£8,000-£10,300 per six-month placement), and gives you the opportunity to experience two different aspects of pharmaceutical practice (usually hospital and community practice), thereby broadening your experience.
Each six-month placement is arranged and supervised by the Bradford School of Pharmacy, and the two-placement structure brings you into contact with a wide range of patients, employers and healthcare professionals.
Entry requirements
Typical offer: ABB / 128 UCAS points
New UCAS tariff
We use the UCAS tariff system to help us compare different qualifications. For courses starting from September 2017 onwards, the way points are calculated is changing.
The number of points you get for each qualification and grade will be lower, for example, an A* grade at A level will be worth 56 points from 2017 onwards, instead of 140 in 2016. Despite the lower points, you will still need to achieve the same grades. The only exception to this is that AS Levels will now be worth 40% of an A Level, instead of 50%.
All qualifications that are currently on the UCAS Tariff will continue to attract points under the new system. More qualifications are also being brought into the UCAS tariff system for the first time, including Access to Higher Education courses.
Work out your UCAS tariff points using the UCAS Tariff Calculator (link opens in a new tab).
A levels:
Chemistry or Biology and one other Science subject required at minimum AB. General Studies or Critical Thinking is not accepted.
Students offering A-levels should complete them within a 3-year time frame to be eligible for entry onto this programme.
Please note that where a science A-level is taken, the University will require applicants to pass the practical element (for A-levels awarded from August 2017 onwards).
BTEC Extended Diploma:
DDD. Applied Science with a minimum four Chemistry units and two Maths units at Distinction. Acceptable only with A-level Chemistry or A-level Biology at grade B.
Applicants on Access Programmes:
128 UCAS tariff points from an Access to Higher Education Diploma - Science subject required. Must include a minimum of 12 credits of Chemistry at Distinction and 12 credits at Distinction in one other Science subject.
Plus minimum of:
Five GCSEs at grade C or grade 4, including English Language, Maths (note: GCSE English Language and Maths equivalences will not be accepted) and two sciences (i.e. Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Combined Science).
Those applying with Access courses are only required to have GCSE English Language and Maths at grade C or grade 4.
Additional entry requirements:
As part of the selection process, we interview short-listed candidates prior to making offers. All places are offered subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and health check.
Applicants who do not hold the specified A-Level subjects may be considered for the Clinical Sciences Foundation Year with a view to entering year one of the MPharm the following year. Entry onto the MPharm would be conditional on assessment performance at the end of the foundation year. Entry onto the MPharm is subject to passing all modules at first attempt and achieving a minimum of 60% in the chemistry module and an overall average of 65% or higher. Students that do not achieve this standard, but who pass the foundation year, would transfer to another programme within the Faculty of Life Sciences (e.g. BSc Chemistry, BSc Biomedical Sciences, BSc Clinical Sciences). Please note that you would be nominated and supported as a potential future pharmacy student and as such this route does not permit transfer to study medicine at the University of Leeds.
If you are an international student and you do not meet the entry requirements for direct entry onto this course you may be interested in our International Certificate of Foundation Studies.
English language requirements:
Minimum IELTS at 6.5 or the equivalent.
If you do not meet the IELTS requirement, you can take a University of Bradford pre-sessional English course. See the Language Centre for more details.

Learning activities and assessment
Our award-winning Pharmacy programme has been designed by nationally acclaimed pharmacy educational experts with input from pharmacy employers, patients and our alumni.
The programme is predominantly taught using an innovative and active learning method called Team-Based Learning (TBL).
In TBL classes you will actively practice applying your knowledge to solve real-world pharmacy problems through team discussion and class debate facilitated by our expert academic staff.
TBL develops your confidence, your problem-solving skills, and the communication and team skills necessary for employment in pharmacy.
We were the first UK University to offer the 5-year practice-integrated MPharm programme which allows you to qualify as a pharmacist when you leave university and we have run this course successfully for over 40 years.
Alternatively you can choose the 4-year continuous programme where you complete your one-year pre-registration training after graduation.
The 5-year programme embeds two separate six month periods of pre-registration experience within the course, and gives you the opportunity to experience two different aspects of pharmaceutical practice (usually hospital and community practice), thereby broadening your experience. Each six month placement is arranged and supervised by the School, and the two-placement structure brings you into contact with a wide range of patients, employers and healthcare professionals.
Career support and prospects
Career support
The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programmes. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work and graduate vacancies. Students are encouraged to access this support at an early stage and to use the extensive resources on the Careers website.
Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programmes there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.
Employment statistics
91% of our 2015 five-year Pharmacy graduates found employment or went on to further study within six months of graduating. Read more on our website »
Career prospects
A career in pharmacy allows you to work in a variety of different sectors such as community, hospital, industry, primary care, GP Practice, academia.
"Having supervised and tutored Bradford sandwich students for many years, the new MPharm programme has clearly led to pre-registration students who are more ready for practice. Their clinical knowledge and problem solving skills are developed from much earlier in the course leading to graduates who are ready to apply these skills from day one in their pre-registration placement. This has been very advantageous to us, as employers, and to the students themselves." - Clare Roberts, Advanced Pharmacist - Education and Training
Watch our video of 2015 Honorary Graduate Dr Keith Ridge CBE, Chief Pharmaceutical Officer for NHS England speaking about his career and Bradford's Pharmacy graduates.
Salary expectations
The average starting salary for our 2015 Pharmacy (five-year) graduates was £28,852.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need work experience and if so, how much?
Competition for a place on the MPharm course is high and when selecting candidates the admissions team is not just looking for evidence of academic achievement although that is very important. The selection panel is also looking for evidence that an applicant is committed to studying Pharmacy and has investigated Pharmacy as a career. Work experience such as job shadowing, talking to community pharmacists, visits to community or hospital pharmacies or work placements however brief, are all evidence of this commitment.
What are the differences between the 4 and the 5-year courses?
On completion of the 4-year MPharm graduates undertake 12 months of pre-registration training. Normally, this would mean that after obtaining the 4-year Master's degree in pharmacy you would be required to undertake one year of 'Pre-registration Experience' in a pharmacy approved by the regulatory body and under the supervision of an experienced pharmacist.
The 5-year course is described as a sandwich or practice-integrated course because it contains two six-month periods of professional training. These two periods together satisfy the pre-registration requirements of the regulatory body and are undertaken in between periods of academic study.
When do I have to choose between the 4- and 5-year courses?
On application, a student may choose either course, and most students make their choice during the UCAS cycle. Students need to make up their minds about which course they would like to be registered on during the UCAS cycle and should think carefully about the differences for them personally. The final decision must be made prior to enrolment as changes during the 1st year are by exemption only.
Do you accept graduate entry?
We do accept students who have already completed degrees in relevant subjects (first class or upper second class) however we still require applicants to hold suitable GCSE and science A-level qualifications, including chemistry. Please note that tuition fees for graduate entry are usually classed as ELQ (Equivalent or lower qualifications) and have a different fee structure.
Can I transfer from another course (into year 2?)
We do not normally accept students after studying for one or two years on courses at other Universities. We may consider students who hold A-level qualifications that meet our standard entry criteria but any offer will be for entry to YEAR 1 ONLY.
How do I register as a pharmacist?
Entry to the profession of pharmacy is regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). In order to be eligible to register as a pharmacist you must:
- Hold a Master's level degree in pharmacy awarded in the UK which has been accredited by the GPhC
- Satisfactorily complete one year of pre-registration experience in an approved pharmaceutical establishment under the guidance of a pharmacist
- Pass the registration assessment at the end of the pre-registration year
- Complete the application process by declaring your fitness to practise and a health declaration
Please note that completion of the MPharm degree alone does not guarantee that you will be successful in securing a pre-registration training placement or registering as a pharmacist. However, we will provide you with help and support to optimise your ability to do so.
Bradford School of Pharmacy research expertise extends from drug design to formulation, drug delivery to clinical trials, neuroscience and natural products.
We have a well-equipped Clinical Skills Suite; our own community pharmacy; hospital ward; and a number of seminar rooms. Our pharmacology facilities are laboratories which include simulation software and computers to enable all of our students to have the same learning experience. You will also be taught in our new Simulation Suite which includes a human simulator (iSTAN) and a 3D virtual Anatomage Table where you will learn about anatomy and physiology.
