Healthy Choices for Baltimore is a community service initiative in which medical students go to Midtown Academy, a Baltimore City public charter school, and teach elementary students about different components of nutrition and health. The aim is to inform the students about caring for their bodies and learning how to make healthier choices about food and exercise. Volunteers will be on site interacting with and teaching lessons to the students for a maximum of one and a half hours a week plus one half hour allotted for prep time a week. Lessons include reviewing the food pyramid, making healthy choices based on nutrition facts labels, learning about food from other cultures and how health conditions can be related to nutrition intake. We hope to teach lessons of moderation and encourage students to take ownership of their bodies and health decisions by providing information, skills and options for healthy living in Baltimore. Most of all, we want to make nutrition and health education fun and accessible for the students while providing medical students another outlet for getting involved in the community. Being an ICM Service Learning Project, we aim to foster the growth of knowledge in MSI and MSII students about the surrounding Baltimore community to facilitate understanding in order to best aid in the future medical care of the surrounding patient population in Baltimore City. This will be accomplished by developing interpersonal and communication skills through teaching a nutrition based health curriculum in a manner that avoids medical jargon and facilitates understanding on a level at which the general population will most readily understand.

Students volunteers will need to be available for 1-2 Monday afternoons per month from approximately 12-2 pm from October to March.
The Medical Supply Recovery and Donation Effort (MS-RAD) aims to recover and donate unused and unexpired surplus medical/surgical supplies from UMMC operating rooms. MS-RAD has been working directly with the UMMC peri-operative materials management team to place collection bins in appropriate places in the ORs and to educate the nursing staff about the program. Students are in charge of monitoring collections and relocating them to the designated storage area. Collections are then moved from the storage area within UMMC to an unaffiliated warehouse by people working within the hospital, and the donations are taken from there by our partner, the Brother's Brother Foundation. The Brother's Brother Foundation is the recipient of these donations, and serve as a warehouse from where organizations in need of those supplies can access them.
Peds Pals is a community service organization created by medical students for medical students. It provides a convenient, flexible and FUN community service organization. Peds Pals has been an established volunteering program for medical students to volunteer with Child Life here at the University of Maryland. Students play games, do crafts, read books and spend time with the children in the In-patient pediatrics unit. Working with Child Life and interacting with the children in the pediatric unit is an amazing, humbling and incredibly rewarding experience for Medical Students. The patients also appreciate having someone there as a friend who helps their days be more filled with laughter. Peds Pals provides students with the opportunity to help make the children's stay in the hospital as pleasant as possible. Each student volunteers every other week for two hours in the pediatric department throughout the academic year.
The medical school, with help from other University of Maryland professional schools, organizes a Thanksgiving feast for the homeless community every year. The event is held at Booker T. Washington Middle School from 11am-3pm. Along with providing turkey, stuffing, pies, and drinks, we also hold clothing, toiletry, and food (non-perishable and fresh) drives in the weeks before Thanksgiving. Students can participate on one of the various committees (e.g. Food, Publicity, Shelters, Donations, Logistics & Volunteers, Legal, etc.), cook a turkey, and/or volunteer on Thanksgiving Day.
For more information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Student Sight Savers Project is a nationally recognized glaucoma screening program originally founded at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Our group has three primary objectives. First, to provide glaucoma screenings/referrals for local Baltimore residents who otherwise would not receive care. Second, to provide first and second year medical students with hands-on clinical experience. Third, to provide information for those interested in ophthalmology and other eye specialties.
Glaucoma screenings will be held the first Wednesday of each month from 12pm-130pm. Regular emails will be sent regarding these events.
The UMSOM Red Cross Blood Drive student interest group maintains a decades-long tradition of hosting Red Cross Blood Drives on UMSOM campus 2-3 times per academic year.
The group works in conjunction with UMSOM OSA and liaisons at the Red Cross and UMMS to schedule drives in advance on optimal dates (minimizing conflicts with exam schedules), reserve facilities and furniture, coordinate volunteers, advertise on campus and through our Red Cross Coordinator portal, and serve as "point person(s)" with both the faculty liaisons and each Red Cross team that comes in to run a drive.
The units collected at UMSOM blood drives directly save lives by supporting transfusion patients in UMMS's ICUs and Shock Trauma Center in two ways:
1) by increasing the units available thru the Red Cross itself, and
2) decreasing the cost per unit for UMMS to stock the hospital's blood bank. (The Red Cross provides hospitals nationwide with incentives that discount/pro-rate their blood bank purchases based on the # of drives and units donated on their campus; the Red Cross considers UMSOM's drive an extension of UMMS, so our drives directly assist the hospital's ability to make affordable blood bank purchases.)
Importantly, the group is committed to establishing new leadership from the upcoming MS2 class each April, ensuring UMSOM's ability to host life-saving blood drives without gap years or missed drives.
The Hippocratic Notes is the only student-run a-cappella group, founded by the Class of 2015. They will recruit new members at the beginning of the academic year and perform throughout the year.
If you have any questions or would like to inform us of an opportunity to perform, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Do you play a string, woodwind, or brass instrument? You are welcome to join us for some of our events! We have opportunities to perform in the group and individually, as well as opportunities for the music lover in all of us.
Link Maryland engages the University of Maryland medical community by creating unique professional networking opportunities for its students, residents, physicians, and alumni.
The Military Medicine Student Group (MMSG) is primarily designed to provide a formalized forum for communication between students who are currently committed to Military service as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). As opposed to a traditional student interest group, the most predominant student members of the group will be those who are contractually obligated to engage in military-centric medicine. The group will help military students across classes connect, share experiences and advice, and coordinate together to attend military functions.
Dr. Dodge, a 1925 graduate of the School of Medicine, was a pioneer in the field of Obstetrics & Gynecology and a strong advocate for maternal health care and sex education. She was the first woman intern at the University Hospital of Baltimore and the first woman resident physician in Obstetrics at the same hospital. She later served as the acting head of the Department of Obstetrics at the Women's Medical School in Shanghai, China and the acting head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Arkansas Medical School. Dr. Dodge was a leader in the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) and served as president in 1938.
Dr. Julius Friedenwald came from a family which for more than 80 years in Baltimore was associated with the best in medicine. He attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons which later merged with Maryland, graduating in 1890. He studied medicine, and gastroenterology, in Berlin, Paris, Vienna and London before returning to Baltimore to establish what became a very large medical practice. His devotion to patients did not prevent him from authoring or co-authoring several books and more than 200 journal articles. From 1909 to 1935 he was Professor of Gastroenterology at the University of Maryland and a member of the school's medical council. As such, he was heavily invested in student education and advancement. He was a champion of equality on medical education. He was described by all who knew him as kind, affable, optimistic and generous, able to maintain his gentleness of disposition and character throughout his long career. He held office in numerous regional and national medical societies. Each year the Julius Friedenwald medal is awarded by the American Gastroenterological Association for distinguished service in that branch of medicine. It is the highest honor bestowed by that association.
Lois Young-Thomas was valedictorian of Dunbar High School and later graduated magna cum laude from Howard University. As a student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the national medical honor society. In 1960, she was our school's first black female graduate. Following a rotating internship at the University of Maryland Hospital she returned to Howard University to complete her residency in ophthalmology, and then went on to a fellowship at the Wilmer Institute. She returned to Maryland fulltime in 1969, achieving the rank of Professor in 1980.
Dr. Young-Thomas was said to have possessed an immense social conscience and sense of social responsibility. She served on numerous boards and committees, many aimed at serving the disadvantaged. She also worked diligently to foster medical education, and had a particular interest in undergraduate preparation for medical school. Dr. Young-Thomas received numerous teaching awards including, in 1986, Tuskegee University's Award for Medical Education. She was viewed by all of her students as a devoted teacher and mentor.
Dr. Garcia-Palmieri, a 1951 graduate of the School of Medicine, was a cardiologist and the first Hispanic to receive the distinguished title of "Master" by the American College of Cardiology. After medical school, he returned to his native Puerto Rico and became the first cardiologist trained in Puerto Rico. He later served as Chair of Internal Medicine and Director of Cardiology at the School of Medicine of the University of Puerto Rico. He also became Secretary of Health for Puerto Rico. He served on two Presidential Medical Commissions (Nixon and Carter). Dr. Garcia Palmieri is the only person to twice be elected president of the International Society of Cardiology. The main bi-annual lecture of the Interamerican Congress of Cardiology bears his name.

USAR Pro Cup Series Returns To Iowa In 2010 As Companion Event To NASCAR Nationwide Series
CONCORD, N.C. (September 18, 2009) -- For the first time in USARacing Pro Cup Series history, the highly competitive short-track circuit will be a companion event to NASCAR's Nationwide Series when it visits Iowa Speedway next year in late July, it was announced Friday by Vice President and Series Director Jimmy Wilson.
The USAR Pro Cup Series will display its tough, fender-to-fender style of racing on Friday, July 30, with NASCAR's Nationwide Series scheduled for the next day.
"We were the first event ever held at Iowa Speedway in 2006," Wilson noted. "We are proud to continue the Pro Cup Series tradition at this state-of-the-art facility and have our drivers showcase their talents in front of the Iowa fans during a companion event weekend with the NASCAR Nationwide Series."
The track's inaugural event was Sept. 15, 2006 and was won by Pro Cup Series driver Woody Howard, of Chesapeake, Va.
"We just celebrated our third anniversary. In that amount of time, we have grown our program tremendously," Iowa Speedway Vice President and General Manager Craig Armstrong said. "We are repositioning some of our four best events and we wanted to retain the best-of-the-best. We feel the Pro Cup Series is a sterling example of a very competitive, highly entertaining series. It's the best short-track racing in America. To bring it back on the Nationwide Series U.S. Cellular 250 weekend in 2010 is a huge plus for the fans, the teams and the drivers to showcase their talents. It is a win-win situation. We are happy it turned out the way it did."
Last month it was announced the USARacing Pro Cup Series would return to Bristol Motor Speedway in 2010 on May 15 after a year's sabbatical from the high-banked, half-mile track. The entire Pro Cup Series 2010 schedule will be released at a later date.
The USARacing Pro Cup Series, formerly Hooters Pro Cup, is owned by Interstate Investment Group and is based in Concord, N.C. IIG is comprised of Jack McNelly, Gary Kale, Carl Hubbard, Chip Lofton and Larry Camp, who serves as the managing partner.

Police Charge Man in Shootings of Two Officers in Ferguson, Mo.
Two officers were wounded, then released from the hospital on Thursday
County authorities filed charges Sunday against a 20-year-old man in the shooting of two police officers who were working crowd control at a late-night demonstration in Ferguson, Mo., last week.
Jeffrey Williams, who authorities said had been part of the crowd outside the Ferguson police station Wednesday, allegedly fired at the policemen just after midnight Thursday. He was charged with shooting the officers from a car some distance away....

A title search is required when real estate is purchased so that the buyer and any secured lenders, such as a mortgage company, do not face unexpected ownership disputes, according to Cornell University Law School. Problems such as defects or encumbrances in the chain of title are referred to as a "cloud on the title," and must be resolved before a sale can be completed. Some issues that can cloud the title are tax liens, a break in the chain of title, an unreleased secured loan or an inaccurate description of the property in a former deed.Continue Reading
A title search can be performed by any interested party because all of the documents that need to be reviewed are a matter of public record. Real estate sales in the United States may be accompanied by a purchase of title insurance, which protects the buyer in the event that a lien may have been missed during a title search. In many cases, purchasers will contract the services of an attorney or a title company to conduct a comprehensive title search before a sale enters its final stages.Learn more about Credit & Lending

Thousands of Afghans who have worked with American troops and diplomats here, often at great risk, have become stranded for years in a murky wait to emigrate to the United States, despite government efforts to speed them from potential threats in Afghanistan.
One American initiative to substantially increase the number of visas available to Afghan workers, the Afghan Allies program, has fallen especially short of its goals. Since the program began in 2009, about 2,300 Afghans have applied for those visas, but the American Embassy in Kabul has finished reviewing only two cases. One was rejected.
"The record is not great," said David D. Pearce, assistant chief of mission at the embassy. He said that officials had asked Washington for more resources and that the new ambassador, Ryan C. Crocker, had placed a renewed focus on resolving the backlog.
"We're going to break this logjam," Mr. Pearce said. "It's going to move."
The long, uneasy wait has frustrated many Afghans employed by the United States, who said they felt neglected after risking their safety and that of their families to work with Americans in war-torn sections of the country. The Taliban have brazenly killed Afghan civilians, even children, with ties to coalition forces.
Some applicants said their paperwork had been lost, or that interviews had been promised but never scheduled. Many echoed a similar complaint: They had simply heard nothing and had no idea whether their applications had been approved or rejected.

text: I find this piece hilarious, I love that it lets the user of the towel become the front cover model. It's fun and cheeky but simple in that it is just a red towel with printed worlds. I think they are promoting that they are looking for a model to feature in March. People usually are wearing less items of clothing at beaches so placing this ad in context works really well.

Happy Easter!
Welcome to my stop on the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop! I was so excited to participate in this last year and you know, once is never enough so of course I had to do this again. Thanks to this year's amazing hosts Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl, Leanne @she can quilt and Beth @Cooking Up Quilts for letting me have another go at this. By the way, you should visit their blogs as they introduce other members of their hives today. As always, there are tons of prizes to win during these hops thanks to the generous sponsors so make sure you check that out.
Now to the reason you are here…my name is Sola and I quilt and Blog in my little corner of the globe all the way in Nigeria! Why Alice Samuel's Quilt Co? I chose that name as a memorial to my parents. I would love to tell you a lot more about me but I believe I already covered that much here and here.
Instead, I can share with you all about my quilting adventure which is the reason why I started this blog. I wish I can say where I belong as a quilter…modern, traditional, somewhere in between or none of the above. All I know is I love fabrics, colors, geometric shapes and that is what you'll observe from my few creations since I started quilting about 3 years ago.
Without further delays, I present to you some of my quilts:
Quilting and Blogging Tip
We have been asked to share a quilting and blogging tip and for that, let me share with you an excerpt from the book: A Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline by Thomas Sterner:
Consider the flower
At what point is a flower perfect?
- Is it perfect when it is nothing more than a seed waiting to be planted? All that it will ever be is there in that moment.
- Is it perfect when it first starts to germinate? Unseen under several inches of soil? This is when it displays the first sign of miracle of creation.
- How about when it pokes its head through the surface and sees the face of the sun for the first time? All its energy has gone into reaching for this source of life. Until this point, it had nothing more than an inner voice telling it which way to grow.
- What about when it begins to flower? This is when its individual properties starts to be seen. The shape of the leaves, the number of blooms, all are unique to this one flower even among other flowers of the same species.
- Or is it the stage of full bloom? The crescendo/climax of all the energy and effort the flower expended to reach this point in its life.
- Let's not forget its quiet and humble ending when it returns to the soil where it came.
At what point then is the flower perfect? If you don't already know the answer, http://coolcami.com/products/?product_sort=asc IT IS ALWAYS http://preaknessstakeswagering.com/tag/tiaras-tango/ PERFECT! It is perfect at being whatever it is, at whatever stage it is in at that moment. It is perfect at being a seed when it is placed in the ground. At that moment in time, it is exactly what it is supposed to be http://misterbagelscarborough.com/wp-login.php A SEED. Just because it doesn't have brightly colored bloom doesn't mean it is not a good flower seed. When it first sprouts out through the ground, it is not imperfect because it displays only the color green. At each stage of the growth from seed to full bloom and beyond, it is perfect at being a flower at that particular stage of a flower's life.
A flower must start as a seed and it will not bulge 1mm towards its potential grandeur of full bloom without the nourishment of water, soil, sun and also time. It takes time for all these elements to work together to produce the flower. The flower cannot say to itself that becoming a full bloom takes time and I want to do everything I can to get there now. I can't wait to start blooming…that is when I'll be happy, that is when everyone will be happy with me.
We consciously or unconsciously pick a point of reference in whatever we do and decide that nothing will be right until we get to that point. If you sit back to examine your internal monologue, then you'll be amazed at how hard you work against yourself with this type of thinking. If you step back routinely during your day and observe where your attention is, you will be amazed at how few times it is where you are and on what you are doing. That is why we need to develop a present minded approach to every activity we are involved in. We need to realize like the flowers that at whatever level we are performing, we are perfect at that point in time. We will experience a tremendous relief from the fictitious self-imposed pressures and expectations that only slow our progress.
When we are subconsciously focused on the result or product we are trying to achieve (especially in activities like quilting that produces tangible products) we are distracted into the future because the result/product is pulling us out of the present moment into the future. This is like wanting to get to full bloom and skipping the rest of it.
It is our egos that make us create false ideas of what perfect is and whether we have reached it. Remember true perfection is not finite and not a specific skill level that can be reached regardless of how hard or how long you pursue an activity.
I hope you were able to pick a thing or two out of this? In essence, where ever you are on your quilting journey, take solace in the fact that you are just perfect where you are. At the end of the day, it is all in the perspectives. There are various points of views out there and you have yours, so stick to it and don't get overwhelmed by all the other seemingly perfect point of views.
My question for you:
If you had the chance to start your quilting journey over again, what advice would you give your new beginner self? For me I'll say, Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, this is the beginning of a life long love affair!
Have you enjoyed the hop so far? Again do not forget to visit the hosts for your chance to meet other amazing New Quilt Bloggers and to take part in the giveaways. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stick around as I continue on this wonderful quilting adventure. Have a great week!
Please take time to visit other members of my Blooming Quilters hive on the hop today:

Myths about nonlocal equations
From Mwiki
The following myths are usually heard in the corridors of some math departments and conference coffee breaks.
There are no new difficulties in nonlocal equations and everything is proved analogously as in the classical case
Unfortunatelly, this is a common misconception among the people who have never read a paper in nonlocal equations. Nonlocal equations is a much richer class than the usual PDEs. Predictably, there are some intrinsic difficulties. A common difficulty comes from the fact that fractional order operators have different scaling properties and therefore interact differently with other terms. Moreover, in certain cases there are some surprising results which do not match what one would expect from local PDE intuition. We have a list of results that are fundamentally different to the local case.
Nonlocal equations is a field in which one replaces the Laplacian by the fractional Laplacian in whatever equation and writes a paper
One can certainly do this. In some cases the classical methods would work after a simple adaptation. In other cases there is a significant difference either in the methods or in the results. Naturally, the good papers are the ones that fit into the second category. This wiki should help people learn to differentiate one from the other.
Nonlocal equations are bizarre and unnatural objects
The Starting page of this wiki should clarify the importance of nonlocal equations.
Most equations in nature are local
In fact the opposite is true. In many cases local PDEs are a good simplification though.
All statements and proofs in nonlocal equations involve gigantic formulas
Nonlocal equations usually involve integral quantities that are larger to write than usual derivatives. This is a notation problem to a large extent. Many proofs in nonlocal equations deal with long integral quantities that come from the nonlocal character of the equation. These features are there, but are rarely at the essence of the arguments. Most statements and proofs are just as conceptual as in usual PDEs.

Bananas Foster
1 c. brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 # butter
2 bananas
2 oz. banana liquor
1 oz. rum
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
1 oz. Rum (if it is to be flambéed)
Vanilla ice cream
Cook the sugar and butter for about 5 minutes. Add bananas, simmer another 2 minutes, add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring, banana liquor and 1 oz. rum, simmer another 2 minutes. If flambéing, pull the sauté pan back and super heat the front edge of the pan, add another 1 oz rum with a jigger,(do not pour out of the bottle!!) and light with a long match, or roll the flame over the edge of the pan if using gas, jiggling the sauté pan will increase the flame. Serve over vanilla ice cream. © 1984 John Albrecht, CEC

Johnny Depp wants divorce proceedings kept private, but Amber Heard has other ideas
There's still more drama unfolding in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce.
More: Johnny Depp's past as a great lover has nothing to do with Amber Heard
According to Us Weekly, Depp has filed court papers demanding that certain details of the split remain private, but Heard has refused to agree to the terms that Depp is demanding.
Court documents show that Depp filed his request on July 15, requesting that certain details stay confidential to protect both celebs' privacy. According to those documents, "All documents produced by [Depp] in this action and/or any third parties subpoenaed in this action… shall be designated as 'Confidential Information' herein."
Depp's request is in response to a motion by Heard requesting personal documents from Depp, including financial information.
More: Amber Heard's lawsuit against Johnny Depp's friend isn't keeping him quiet
"Johnny does not dispute that Amber is entitled to the majority of the information sought in her discovery requests and subpoena," Depp's filing states. "He is willing to produce the documents necessary for Amber's evaluation of the relevant issues in this case, such as division of community estate and spousal support. He has asked, however, that a confidentially agreement be executed prior to the production of documents in order to protect the parties' privacy."
Heard filed for divorce in May after being married to Depp for 15 months. As Depp's filing notes, "This case has been extraordinarily public since its inception."
The document continues, "Amber has inexplicably refused to sign any agreement to maintain confidentiality in this action. Johnny is therefore asking the Court to issue a protective order."
That means Depp wants the court to force confidentiality of certain details, even if Heard doesn't agree. Heard reportedly has refused to sign private confidentiality agreements proposed by Depp during their divorce proceedings.

That question, that one question that I don't like. I don't want to answer it, as it certainly is followed by another question that I don't want to answer.
"Do you have children?"
No, we do not have children. We don't want children. I don't like children. If I give this answer the previous question will be followed by:
"Or are you having problems getting pregnant?"
I haven't got a clue. Never tried it. Why would I try to get pregnant if I don't want kids? People seem to think that if a woman says she doesn't want kids, there's got to be something wrong. Either with her or her husband. It seems not possible that there are women who simply don't want kids, don't like kids. It's impossible…
One time I answered the first question with a 'funny' answer. I told the woman who asked: "Yes, we have 4 kids. 2 cats and 2 cars." She didn't think it was funny. She didn't speak to me for ages…
written in response to the daily prompt : plead the fifth 'What question do you hate to be asked? Why?'

| Written Update | 23 Dec, 2015- Suhani Si Ek Ladki
| Written Update | 23 Dec, 2015- Suhani Si Ek Ladki (By Kiddo_Star)
The Episode starts with Sharad and Saurabh telling Pankaj and Lata that they won't force Aditya for marriage. Saurabh asks why did Aditya refuse for marriage, he told us that he loves Gauri. Pankaj says yes, I know but Aditya said he did not know this. Rags asks what, do you think we are fools, Aditya did not know he promised someone of marriage. Pankaj and Lata see each other. Suhani comes home with Gauri and Yuvraaj and says I will say what my parents want to tell Dadi.
She says its not mum and dad's mistake, they don't even know it. Rags says it means they did not know. Suhani says they did not know Aditya will do such a bad thing, Aditya used to flirt with girls, we did not know how much he changed, when we knew he has some other girl in his life, we told you all first. Gauri cries. Everyone console her. Suhani says Dadi, its not my parents' mistake in this. Dadi asks then whose mistake is this. Suhani says its Aditya's mistake, he trapped Gauri, I told everyone that Aditya is not right for Gauri, he showed he changed and I did not know you all will agree for him. Yuvraaj tells Dadi that this is wrong to insult Pankaj and Lata. He asks Suhani to take Gauri and go to room.
Dadi fills Gauri's ears against Suhani. Gauri says but Suhani said I will get a nice guy. Dadi asks why, is Aditya not good, why did she tell us that Aditya is flirt. She says Suhani is making excuses, she did not wish you get happy, she is jealous of you, she broke your marriage and heart, I could not do anything. Dadi and Gauri cry.
Yuvraaj asks Suhani how can he change all this. She cries and says I wish I could change all this. He asks why is she crying and hugs her. They hear Menka screaming and rush out. Everyone come there and see Gauri wearing mask again. Yuvraaj asks Gauri why is she punishing herself for Aditya. Gauri says I m doing this because of Suhani. They all get shocked. Suhani asks Gauri why did she wear this mask. Gauri says its true, you told me world is not bad and I have right to be happy, why did you make Aditya away from me, why did you break our marriage. Suhani says its nothing like that. Gauri screams and says I won't remove mask, as Suhani wants this, she said she is proud of me, but she dislikes me. She says Suhani is very bad, I hate Suhani and leaves. Suhani cries and leaves.
Yuvraaj tells Bhavna that I have to talk to Suhani, she is hiding something from me. Dadi looks on. Yuvraaj comes to room and sees Suhani crying. He asks her whats the matter. She says I don't know, Gauri wore the mask again. He says I will manage Gauri, but what happened to you, since relation broke, you are behaving strange, tell me the truth, why did this relation break, I know you are lying. She recalls Aditya's words and cries. She says Aditya did not know before engagement that Gauri's face has mark. He gets shocked and sits. He says no Suhani, its not like that. She cries and nods. He says it means Aditya left Gauri for that mark.
She says I m ashamed that my brother's mentality is such cheap, so I did not have courage to tell everyone, I lied, if Gauri knew about this, that the mark is responsible… He says but it was an accident. She says yes, but Gauri is not accepting it. He gets angry and throws the chair. He says I knew it, but how can Aditya do this, how can he judge Gauri on her looks. He sees his and Suhani's marriage pic and recalls how he judged Suhani by her looks. Suhani says I know Yuvraaj, such small mindset people are useless, such people should not get true love. He cries and looks at her. She asks him not to worry, Gauri is angry, they will explain Gauri together. He silently leaves.
Its night, Bhavna talks to Lata and apologizes. She says we could not tell truth to Gauri. Lata tells Pankaj that Aditya did wrong. Aditya hears them. Yuvraaj looks at the sky. Sharad asks him how is Gauri. Yuvraaj says you remember Sharad, when I was forced to marry Suhani, we were standing here and discussing how will I ignore Suhani on my suhaagraat. Sharad asks why are you saying this now. Yuvraaj says its true, you remember you gave Suhani a name Chai Patti, we used to laugh on her a lot. Sharad says don't blame yourself.
Pankaj asks Aditya why did you do this. Aditya says I can't be happy and not even Gauri. Pankaj says Suhani and Bhavna are stuck there, they lied that you have someone else in your life, so that Gauri does not feel bad, are you not ashamed, we are ashamed to call you our son. Lata says you won't get such nice girl, her values and innocence, anyways no use to explain you now.
Sharad says Suhani told you everything, Bhavna told me. Yuvraaj says its not truth, it's a mirror, my mistake's punishment, Gauri is getting it, think how will Suhani feel, I gave her such sorrow, Suhani does not know why did I do this, I ignored her as she was dark, I taunted her infront of everyone. He cries. Sharad consoles him. Yuvraaj says its Suhani, she did not let all that happen with my sister, maybe this is justice, what I did with Aditya's sister, my sister is getting that pain. He sees Bhavna there. They all cry.
Yuvraaj comes to meet Aditya. Aditya says I won't change my decision. Yuvraaj slaps him hard. Aditya falls down and gets angry.

Strengthening Prevention
Strengthening Prevention
Preventing disease and injury is key to improving health. When we invest in prevention, the benefits are broadly shared. Children grow up in communities, homes and families that nurture their healthy development and people are productive and healthy both inside and outside the workplace. Businesses benefit because a healthier workforce reduces long-term health care costs and increases stability and productivity. Communities that offer a healthy, productive, stable workforce can be more attractive places for families to live and businesses to locate.
Many of the strongest predictors of health and wellbeing fall outside of the healthcare setting. Social, economic and environmental factors all influence health.
People with a quality education, stable employment, safe homes and neighbourhoods, and access to high quality preventative services tend to be healthier throughout their lives and live longer. Government, private, and community organisations all have roles to play in helping people exercise, eat healthy foods and seek preventative health services.
Prevention is a lifelong process that includes:
- planning and having a healthy pregnancy
- good eating and fitness habits in childhood
- the support of preventive services at all stages of life
- promoting the ability to remain active, independent and involved in the community as we age.
Many people living on the island have, or are at risk of developing, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other chronic conditions. These conditions account for a large proportion of disability, death and health inequalities much of which is preventable. Many of these conditions are associated with smoking, alcohol misuse, drug use and obesity.
Significant health inequalities exist and disproportionate amounts of this burden of disease are closely linked with social, economic and environmental disadvantage. Prevention efforts must ensure that all benefit.
IPH work on strengthening prevention
This includes
- providing support to the Department of Health, Social Services & Public Safety (NI) and the Department of Health (ROI) by contributing to policy and information support to strengthen effective preventive action to meet government targets.
- strengthening the development and use of the growing evidence base on public health interventions to reduce health inequalities. Existing evidence suggests prevention generally works and can reduce health system costs.
IPH partners on strengthening prevention
IPH is currently working with:
- Department of Health, Social Services & Public Safety (NI) and Department of Health (ROI) to support action in public health priority areas related to tobacco control, alcohol, drug use and obesity.

Get Ready for Tucson's 2013 Fourth Avenue Winter Street Fair
Fourth Avenue is often called "The Cultural Center of Tucson" for good reason.
Twice a year it seems the entire population of the old pueblo converge on 4th Ave. for a funky, fun time. Artists of every style and persuasion line the blocks of Fourth Avenue. Chanting food vendors and local musicians create a crescendo of good vibrations.
It is difficult to resist the aroma of grilled onions and roasted peppers from the Tucson Firefighters BBQ booth tempting passers-by.
The 2013 Winter Street Fair will no different and The Big Blue House Inn will again be hosting out-of-town Arizona artists and craftsmen who enjoy the close proximity to Tucson's Historic Fourth Avenue and all it has to offer.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—The newest addition to the Michigan Law faculty brings internationally recognized expertise in comparative corporate governance to the ranks of William W. Cook Global Law professors.
Prof. Hwa-Jin Kim, a professor of law and business at Seoul National University School of Law, will be joining Michigan Law in fall of 2011 as the school's sixth William W. Cook Global Law professor. Cook professors remain on their law faculties overseas and visit Michigan Law regularly, teaching at least one class every year.
Kim began teaching at Michigan as a visiting professor during the winter term of 2010. He has taught international corporate governance, corporate law and practice, and international and comparative law since arriving in Ann Arbor.
Prior academic experience includes stints on the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law and at Stanford Law. Before joining academia in 2006, Kim practiced corporate and securities law in Korea and Switzerland, advising global investment bankers on international mergers and capital market transactions. He also served as an advisor to the senior ranks of the South Korean government.
"We welcome Professor Kim as a valuable addition to our faculty, who will ensure that our instruction in international business law remains strong," said Michigan Law Dean Evan Caminker.
