Masters of Science in Translational Biotechnology
The Science Master's Program in Translational Biotechnology is a two-year thesis program that is interdisciplinary (biosciences and business), is research intensive, has deep industry involvement, and includes a formal internship at a company. Students will graduate with a major (Master of Science in Medical Sciences) and a grad Minor in Entrepreneurship limited to GEB, ENT and FIN courses . The Masters of Science Program in Translational Biotechnology has the support of the Provost, the Vice President for Research, and Deans of the Colleges of Medicine and Business Administration.
The Program is focused on applied and translational research. Translational Biotechnology includes drug/biologics/device product development, manufacturing process development, assay development, toxicology studies, quality systems (quality control and quality assurance), clinical trial support, and regulatory compliance. These activities are essential for testing new drugs/biologics/devices in humans and their subsequent commercialization. Translational Biotechnology activities are foundational for companies, and are increasingly gaining importance in the academic setting where new technologies are being tested in humans prior to entering the commercial sector. Courses incorporated into this unique Program encompass biotechnology science together with regulatory compliance and best business practices. Graduate courses in product development, regulatory compliance (cGMPs/GTPs/GLPs/GCPs), quality systems (Quality control and Quality Assurance), process development, analytical product testing, and biomanufacturing are essential topics for creating scientists capable of sustaining translational research and commercialization. Product development of biotechnological or biomedical products including biopharmaceuticals; diagnostic test materials; enzymes, antibodies, and other protein products; transgenic plants and animals; tissue and cellular products, and biomedical implants and devices requires that scientists have the knowledge to carefully complete procedures in compliance with foreign and domestic regulations. Other features of the program are the infusion of personal and professional skills (communication, documentation, teamwork, interviewing, work ethic, etc), ethics and responsible conduct of research, and international perspectives.
Deadline for applications is March 31 of the current year fall admission.Applicants must meet the minimum requirements for the University of Florida Graduate School: GPA 3.0 and a score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of 1000 Combined verbal and quantitative for the old scale, and a minimum score of 300 for the new scale. Note that for students accepted into the Masters the average GPA is 3.5, GRE is 310 (new) or 1220 (old). The program requirements 3 letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose and "official" transcripts.
Education and training
A foundation of the Program is a high-quality research project under the direction of a skilled mentor, with supervision by a committee composed of members of the University's Graduate Research Faculty. Specialization may be in any of the fields of research being pursued in the College of Medicine or local biotechnology company. During the first year of the program, students will enroll in lecture courses and seminar course, and will begin working in a mentor's laboratory. The content of the lecture courses is intended to address a need for a strong foundation in advanced level biology and chemistry that is applied to biotechnology and biomedical product development. Courses are available that bridge basic life sciences and applied research, and these have been brought together with courses in business. Both the seminar series and the lecture courses provide preparation for Master's research which should be well underway by the end of the second semester. The second year of graduate study for the student is devoted to finishing the required courses and doing research. Students may also enroll in additional courses, according to their interests and backgrounds. Following the four semesters of coursework and research, the students will be placed into internships companies not limited to Flordia. Students will work together with steering committee members to review available companies and associated projects, and a match will be made.
Degree Requirements:
Completion of the degree will require a total of 48 credit hours with 36 credit hours comprising biomedical coursework, laboratory research, and internship for the major and 6 hours of business coursework for the minor. Students will chose from several courses and course modules available at the COM within the scope of the Program (student course choices will be reviewed by the mentor, program coordinator, and program Director), and for the business courses, students choose six credits from several options. These courses are taught in seven week blocks. The courses include: financial accounting, finance, economics, entrepreneurship, law, marketing, management, and operations.

Prof. Blakey quoted in Citizens Voice
Conahan guilty plea expected today
Citizens Voice (Quotes: G. Robert Blakey) July 23, 2010
But Notre Dame law professor G. Robert Blakey, who wrote the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act under which Conahan was charged, said the rulings will have no effect because the honest services fraud charges against Conahan are based on the payment of bribes. "They fall within the definition of what the Supreme Court approved," said Blakey, who drafted the RICO legislation while working as chief counsel to a U.S. Senate subcommittee in the 1970s. > Read Article

The National Architectural Accrediting Board [NAAB.org]
In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The Academy of Art University, School of Architecture, offers the following NAAB-accredited degree programs:

Disney Villains Makeup Collection
The Disney Villains get the shaft again with a rather small makeup collection that has launched for Fall 2012 at DisneyStore.com.
Why the shaft? Because Sephora is teaming up with Disney to create a Princess Collection for Holiday 2012. So yeah, the Princess Collection will probably be wicked righteous and the Villain Collection, well, it just looks a tad childish.
Take a look!
See what you think!
Disney has launched an entire Villains Collection that includes makeup, accessories, and apparel. I say, it's about damn time! Evil should have a little recognition, yeah, I'm that girl that agrees with the Queen of Hearts when she shouts, "OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
But…Disney's classic Villains get a reboot with this collection. Let's just say Disney made them a little more pretty and glamorous and a little less evil. Needless to say I like the new look!
What do you think?
Love the classics? Adore the new glam villains?
As for the makeup, well, it's a little childish. It seems like something that's made for a kid. Plus it's quite small with a Lipgloss Set, Nail Polish Set, and Eyeshadow Palette (not yet available).
Disney Villains Nail Polish Set $29.50
With the Designer Villains Nail Polish Set, you'll be able to express your inner villain no matter what your mood. The wicked selection features Cruella De Vil, the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Mother Gothel, the Queen of Hearts and Ursula!
Disney Villains Lip Gloss Set $24.50
As every villain knows, you have to look good to feel good. Put the finishing touch on your look with Disney Villains Lip Gloss. Choose from Queen of Hearts neutral, Evil Queen rose or Cruella De Vil flaming red.
Disney Villains Compact Mirror $16.50
You'll know who is the fairest of them all when you gaze into this compact mirror from the Disney Villains Designer Collection! The double oval silver mirror is decorated with a wicked sticker featuring the Evil Queen, Ursula and the Queen of Hearts.
I ordered the mirror as well as a tote, wallet, and some other bits and bobs from the core collection but I skipped on the makeup.
It just didn't call to me.
The Disney Villains Collection is available now at DisneyStore.com

A 20-year-old Kennewick woman reportedly was driving under the influence when she rolled a car on Interstate 82 and injured her passenger, said the Washington State Patrol.
Brianna D. Johnstone faces DUI charges in connection with Thursday's crash about 10 miles south of Kennewick in the eastbound lanes, the state patrol said. She was not hurt and was booked into the Benton County jail.
Johnstone was driving a Toyota Avalon about 5:30 p.m. when she drove off the road, overcorrected and rolled the car.
A passenger, Tara M. Murdock, 27, of Richland, was taken to Trios Health in Kennewick. She was treated and later released.
A third passenger Cynthia A. Redalen, 26, of Richland, was not hurt, the state patrol said.

Reading the review was more entertaining than watching the first episode.
Model View Caffeine
I watched every episode, but i just fast forward to the actual drag race lol this show was so dumb, the last race of the series was on a dried up lake or something
That review was better than the show. Basically those who can't afford an expensive car are butt hurt is how I saw it. Like cool your $5000 car has $20000 into it hell maybe $30000 but at the end of the day it's a regular car. The show's trash talking reminded me of UC and 780 back in the 2006-2010 era lol just needed a roflcopter.
Because speed limits, like fears, are often just illusions.
AudiInProgress (May 10th, 2018)
I liked it for the most part. Yes the trash talking was a bit old but I liked the fact that everyone had a story. Wasnt just a bunch of people with hopped up cars trying to beat a super car.

I had a choice between watching this and washing the floor. I should have washed the floor.
"Better This World" is a good documentary for those interested in seeing how the "justice" system really works in this country.
Very well done movie. A pleasure to watch. I would recommend this movie for all to see. No fast forwarding on this one. A++ DVD
Excellent. Absolutely mind boggling. I shudder to think such a travesty as what's shown here could be possible in Canada. Wish I could be sure that it couldn't.
Well-done documentary about an incident I hadn't heard too much about. Despite the subject matter, the director manages to maintain objectivity.

WWE SmackDown VS Raw 2010 Game Cover Revealed
Earlier this week, THQ announced the cover athletes for this year's installment of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 and its an intimidating combination of the WWE's greatest superstars to say least. Up until now we only had a graphic of who would be on the cover but now we actual have the whole cover. In the chaos that was E3, little tidbits like this could easily be missed, but never worry the team here at ZKG are always working to make sure you have the most complete and update view of the PS3 environment that is available.
Five World Wrestling Entertainment® Superstars will be featured on the cover of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010. They are John Cena®, Undertaker®, Randy Orton®, Edge® and Rey Mysterio® will headline the new game, which promises to deliver player freedom never before experienced in the SmackDown vs. Raw franchise. More information about WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 will be unveiled surrounding SummerSlam®, live on pay-per-view August 23, 2009 from the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
So the folks at THQ have put themselves in a bit of a rock and a hard place. If you don't remember, THQ is also the company that published the almost surprisingly good and even more surprisingly well selling UFC 2009 Undisputed (though I don't THQ thinks this is a bad problem to have). Undisputed definitely stepped up the pressure on SVR10 to be that much better because gamers have gotten such a high quality of play from UFC. Everyone pretty much knows my feelings about SVR, I think that it used to be a really great game and somewhere along the way they lost their way a little by trying to add to many gimmicky add-ons. They started adding all these different match types and side things that are cool at first but really take away from the core gaming experience which should be wrestling. We are hoping that SVR10 goes more back to its roots and focuses on being a complete wrestling simulation that captures the real grit and toughness that is WWE.
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is currently scheduled for a fall release, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS.

Tour was amazing, our tour guy was always friendly and help us to have the best experience of this Aventure
August 2016
The hike is pretty short. They take you about as high as they can, then you hike up to a small flat to look at Chinaman's Hat where you'll kayak to. Along the way you'll get information about Hawaii and it's native plants and animals.
Once back down, you'll get out the kayaks and head toward Chinaman's Hat. It's much farther away than it looked earlier from above. You can do single or double kayaks. Other than a few big waves, there was nothing to it. Everyone made it and no one fell out.
We ate sandwiches as soon as we got there, then went snorkeling. When snorkeling, there are tons of rocks that will cut you, especially when the waves get a hold of you. This is basically unavoidable if you want to see the fish. They use the rocks as cover. My wife and I had cuts on our feet, legs, and hands, but we saw some beautiful fish.
March 2016
This tour was amazing!
June 2015
We loved this adventure! It may have been our favorite day on our trip, but it is so hard to pick favorites when you are in Hawaii!
Matias was a friendly, knowledgable, and relaxed tour guide. His knowledge of the island, surfing, weather, and all things Hawaii was incredibly helpful. We used his recommendations for the rest of our trip. He was very happy to answer every question our small group threw at him. From the moment he pulled up to our Waikiki hotel for pick-up he made us feel welcomed, excited, and ready for the day!
The photos we took and Matias took for us are the best photos we have from our trip to Oahu. The hike is more of a short walk, but the views were amazing. The kayaking is doable for all levels. The snorkeling was fun, but do not reserve this as your only snorkeling trip while on Oahu. We saw many fish, but we didn't see what we expected to see while snorkeling in Hawaii. We were very happy that we drove over to Hanauma Bay another morning to see all of the colorful fish you imagine you'd see in Hawaii.
Overall, this trip is worth every penny. If you are looking for a relaxed, memorable adventure, reserve this one. If you are looking for something more intense, it seems this company also provides extreme biking and hiking tours!
May 2015
This tour was awesome! Jeremy did such a great job! So many memories made!
March 2015
It's a bit pricey, but our guide did an awesome job and I had a great day!!!
March 2015
The tour was great, got to see a remote part of the island. Our guide Terri was awesome and he was a wealth of information. I would definitely book another tour with this company!
November 2014
Had a fantastic time. The short hike to a small plateau with breathtaking view was amazing as well as the kayaking to the little island. It is simply mind blowing looking back to the island. I also wanted to thank Matthias for the outstanding guideance throughout the day. Whenever we come back, we will definitely take you up on the mountain bike trip :-).
September 2014
The hike is only about 5 minutes each way to a beautiful view. You don't need shoes for this hike (sandals are fine). The kayak trip is about 20-30 minutes to a small island where you get lunch and time to snorkel. It was nice that there were tandem kayaks because I got to ride with my husband. We got to see fish along with other sea life, such as sea cucumbers, starfish and crabs. Our tour guide was awesome. He told us all about the island if we had any questions during the car ride. He also pointed out other good tour spots, which was helpful since we were planning to rent a car the next couple days. He also snorkeled with us and found different sea creatures like the sea cucumber and starfish mentioned earlier. The views are BEAUTIFUL so bring a camera.
The only thing I wish was different would be that the hike was a little longer.
April 2014
This was more of a kayaking tour! But omg it was so fun!!! I loved it! The hike was only like 20 mins round trip! Not that bad. It was just to see a nice top view not too high. The snorkeling was kinda ehhhhhh

Sleep disorder is a common condition. In fact, it is more common than you think, as millions of people suffer from it. Not just the aged, even young people often have problems. You may not realize it, but there are many types of sleeping disorders, such as insomnia, restless leg syndrome, PLMD or the periodic limb movement disorder, sleep paralysis, RBD or REM sleep behavior disorder, parasomnia, snoring, and sleep apnea where people may even stop breathing many times during the night for about a minute.
In fact, researchers at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute have even discovered a link between sleep apnea and increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure after carrying out extensive studies on people with breathing and sleeping problems. Findings of the study have been published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
A Side Sleeping Pillow Could Solve Many Problems
Research also indicates that a side sleeper pillow could be a very effective remedy for many sleeping problems. But it is most effective for those who are suffering with sleep apnea and snoring, and this is precisely why even the physicians are now recommending them. But how does it manage to do this? Let us find out.
The idea is basically very simple. A side sleeping pillow will reduce or evenly distribute the pressure on your neck, shoulder and arm because of its better design. And when the pressure is better distributed, you will be able to maintain correct posture of the spine, neck and head. This will allow you to breathe better as the airway passages will stay open. Your breathing during sleep will then be uninterrupted. Sleep apnea and snoring will be reduced as a result.
Your Brain Will Protect You, But It May Not Be Adequate
The human body functions thanks to the brain as it controls many vital bodily functions. The brain will often also help you when there are other issues with your body. For instance, though the brain is unable to signal your muscles to breathe, but it will make you wake up if you have sleep apnea. However, in doing this, your sleep gets interrupted, and poor quality of sleep may cause other health problems too.
Sleep experts have advised people with sleep apnea to stay away from central nervous system depressants such as narcotics, sedatives and alcoholic beverages. Surgery may help some patients. This could very well be the only option left if there are any anatomical defects, but for most cases, luckily, a side sleeping pillow will do the trick.
Try a memory foam side sleeper for a few days and see whether it makes a difference. It works for a majority of people. For some however, the pillow may take some getting used to. So try it for a few weeks.
Many individuals make the mistake of ignoring their disturbed sleep. They associate this with advancing age. That is a huge mistake. After a long and hard day at work, you deserve a restful night. You deserve to wake up well-slept and fresh. And it is not that difficult as well. All you may need is a side sleeping pillow.

J.K. Simmons to Play Politician on Parks and RecreationMatt Richenthal at . Comments
J.K. Simmons is headed to Pawnee, Indiana.
Actually, he's headed to Partridge, Minnesota.
In tremendous news first broken by Entertainment Weekly, the veteran actor (Law & Order, Spider-Man, The Closer) will guest star on Parks and Recreation Season 5 as that town's mayor, a position held at one time by Adam Scott's Ben when he was only 18 years old.

Mini Mania at Creative U
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Mini albums are always a favorite of mine, because you can complete an entire book in a short amount of time, and they can be used for so many purposes.
I designed this 14 page 6"x6" album for Creative University, using the Buzz & Bumble paper pack by Close to My Heart. Lots of pockets, pull-outs and flap make this album interactive and fun for the reader.
The mini album class teachers, Kari & Kandi, did an amazing job at presenting their class. They were organized, informative and patient, leading two 2-hour classes of 20 women each.
Love the album and want to make your own? I'll be releasing a Fabulously Artsy Workshop this spring for both customers and consultants, so you can create the album yourself! You'll be able to purchase the full kit with all materials, or a mini-kit for consultants, or those who would rather use their own consultants to purchase from. Stay tuned for the release date!
Card Café at Creative U
Friday, February 22, 2013
One of the things I enjoyed most about this year's Creative University was designing all of the projects myself. In the early years I offered a couple make-and-take projects, but nothing like the amount of artwork I created for this year's event.
At the Card Café, students created two each of four designs, leaving with a total of eight cards. Each of the cards had a fun technique to make them a little more challenging and maybe learn something new.
The Heartfelt Wishes card (above) uses the embossed resist technique. The bird is stamped and heat embossed in white onto white cardstock, then sponged with twilight ink for a soft graduated colored background.
The Feel Better Soon card (above) uses pen detailing on the medallion portion of the card. I added this little detail in order to repeat the same element found in the background paper. By repeating these black dots it really pulls the whole design together.
The Thank You card (above) uses spot glitter to highlight the leaves and flower petals. Prisma glitter by CTMH is a translucent glitter, so it allows the undercolor of any paper or ink to show through. Used here, it appears green on the leaves and white on the petals. Pretty slick trick!
The Happy Birthday card (above) wasn't so much about technique, but it did show off a cute way to make a handmade embellishment. The little pennants are nothing more than flat toothpicks topped with cardstock strips, hand-trimmed to size. You can even stamp a little word or design on yours, further customizing your own personal embellishment for next to nothing! Hooray!
One last mention about this card class you might not have noticed. All of the cards used the paper pack Chantilly, which is very "girly" with the pinks and yellows. I purposely designed two of the cards to be unisex colors so that they could be used for either men or women. All of the Close to My Heart paper packs have two-sided patterned paper (we call it B&T paper, for "background & texture"). So there are always plenty of choices for alternate color schemes in every pack!
I go through a lot of thank you cards, since I send one to every online customer when they place an order. I'll be adapting some of these designs into thank you cards to use up my leftovers from Creative U.
How about you? What type of card do you use most? Leave a comment and let me know!

Back from Creative University!
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Whew, I am going to sleep for a week now that Create U 2013 is all wrapped up! It was an amazing retreat, with the 40 fabulous women coming together for all kinds of art, fun and friendship.
I took so many pictures.
I was so busy having a great time and helping things run smoothly, that I actually took zero pictures. Unless you count a few instagram and facebook shots I managed to snap here and there. So I have to rely on others for our candid shots of the events, like these:
Amy and Jeanine competing in first round of "Minute to Win It." Look at those tissues fly! Amy won a beautiful totebag from 31 gifts, filled with Cuttlebug goodies. Other contestants won a Ribbon Carousel and an Origami Owl necklace, courtesy of our fabulous sponsors!
Plenty of crafting, with gorgeous views from every window!
Lots of friendships, new and old!
I always save room for a cinnamon roll.

Mr. Show fans got a treat last night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when both Bob Odenkirk and David Cross were guests on not one, but two segments. The pair joined correspondent Samantha Bee in a great sketch making fun of Representative Michelle Bachmann's ridiculous press conference "in Egypt" the other day. Watching the two together in a sketch got Stewart choked up and "brought back memories" of their Mr. Show days. Afterwards, Odenkrik and Cross sat down to discuss their new book, Hollywood Said No, as well as their live tour. Check it out.

To replace a broken hurricane lamp globe, note the color and type of glass needed. Carefully measure the diameter of the bottom of the broken globe from edge to edge. If that portion of the globe is broken, measure the widest part of the lamp's base inside the prongs or lip that hold the globe in place. Use the measured diameter to order the correct glass for the lamp. Place the new globe inside the lip or prongs.Continue Reading
Hurricane lamp replacement globes can be ordered from hardware stores, lighting stores and some general merchandise retailers. If the exact globe is unavailable, substitute a plain globe for globes of color. Shorter globes are also usable in the event that a globe of similar height cannot be located.
Hurricane lamps are powered by kerosene and should not be used without the globe, which protects the flame from causing a fire or spontaneously extinguishing. Their flat wick provides the light source, and the height of the flame can be adjusted with the knob located underneath the prongs that hold the globe in place. They can be used safely on a tabletop, but handheld hurricane lamps are also available for portable use. Handheld lamps come in hot and cold blast designs, which provide the safest experience, as they put out the flame if the lamp is tipped over.Learn more about Lighting

So as I mentioned in my last post I took a visit to the V&A's Fashion Festival last Saturday. (I didn't mean to leave it so long until this post, but I've been having some blogger difficulties which have been solved thanks to Eerika's wise words!)
Basically the V&A hosted an amazing day of events devised by Creative Voice (the V&A's youth collective) aimed at 16-24 year old's, the day involved some fantastic talks by some people at the top of the fashion industry and the opportunity to gain some career advice from some noted people.
The main event I was interested in was Mary Katrantzou - in conversation with Sarah Mower, but I thankfully managed to get there early enough to also get the see the lecture taking place before hand by fashion journalist Hywel Davies. As you know I'm not a fashion journalist student but, I do believe that there's something to learn from everybody's insights and the advice that he shared with us was very useful indeed!
Lately, including the advice which we received on our trip to WGSN I have really become aware of the importance blogging can actually have. I have been blogging for almost two years and I must admit that starting this blog was now in Hindsight a pretty good idea (and even through time's of no followers and no readers, I'm happy I stuck it out), admittedly I still don't have to most strenuous list of followers; but I have noticed that in general there is a better reaction to the more 'today I'm wearing blog'. Yes, I do feature some style posts myself, but I do prefer to place more pressure on the 'lifestyle', if you could call it, side of things. I also want to take this time to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who read my blog, it is greatly appreciated!

I also want to take this time to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who read my blog, it is greatly appreciated!
So, to get back on track, Hywel shared some very wise words and frankly I couldn't believe, what with all the fashion journalism students in this city, the lecture theatre wasn't full to capacity. I can imagine some of the stuff Hywel shared is valuable words for a person wishing to pursue a career fashion journalism. He spoke of having the ability to create articles that the customer would want to read, not what you would want to read. And, that you should make carefully considered choices when choosing who to work with admitting, that often (I am wrapping it up bluntly here) its not what you know, its who you know; that the best jobs don't come through interview but through recommendation. This is a point that you often hear through the grape vine, but to hear it from somebody who has been there and done that, makes it slightly more credible.
He also made an interesting statement about just how picky Central Saint Martins can be when picking its student to fill its 20 places on the BA(Honours) Fashion Communication course, of which he is the Fashion Communication and Promotions Pathway Leader, saying that if a application has a spelling error it goes straight in the bin; backing his comment up with the fact that a fashion journalist could be sitting at a catwalk in Paris and be expected to send off their article in response to the show straight away using their mobile and then it will be uploaded directly onto the site. Now, if you ask me that's pretty fair enough, you wouldn't expect to see Fashion Journalists sitting at shows next to their English teacher, who can check their work before they send it.
He also, made a statement that if you can't spell silhouette, Fashion Journalism probably isn't the one for you.
Then I took my seat back in the lecture theatre for Mary Katrantzou - In conversation with Sarah Mower; we had to leave, and queue outside to come in again. Slightly annoying, but at least the people in-front of us were a bit shy and I grabbed front row seats, which was awesome.
Mary (who is Ambassador for Emerging Talent for the British Fashion Council) and Sarah spoke about how they met while Mary was a student in CSM studying MA Textile Design. Mary described how she 'felt goosebumps all over her body' because of what she saw on every single page of Marys Sketchbook, that her work was 'in such depth and such variety I couldn't believe it' and also decribes Mary as 'a rebel at CSM'; as Mary explained that when she was studying 'digital printing was taboo and that screen printing was acceptable, and the way that you were taught'. Mary describes herself as 'a strong colourist' explaining that textiles is 'very versatile, you can do anything' and that 'it was at that point that I also became more interested in placing that [her textiles] into a fashion garment, looking at the 3D form.'
Mary also tried to explain how she designs her clothes, having previously studied architecture and planning a career in interior design, 'I used to almost feel like I'm guest designing in that medium, so I would take a vase from one room, and a carpet from another room, and a sofa from another room, and I would interior design my own room and then work it around the female figure, and use that collage as a guide to then paint that image from scratch. So its a time consuming process, but it allows me to create something that is entirely unique.'
Mary and Sarah's conversation was incredibly insightful, and they even mentioned how Mary, who admitted that this was until very recently, used to sleep in her studio on a lilo under the print table! They also had a very interesting discussion about internships and the pros and cons of no longer being able to keep an unpaid intern for longer than four weeks. Mary explained that having interns is vital, and that they play an important factor int he working of a studio, that she now keeps a budget for keeping great interns on and would always prefer to hire an intern full time (as she explains she has with many of her current employees) if they are really great that somebody else. I'm slightly torn when it comes to the whole internship situation, I have done some myself like most students have, but I think that so long as you are being treated fairly and appreciated, internships are an invaluable way to gain experience. And if I was doing an internship that I was really enjoying, I would like it to be my own decision whether or not I stay there longer that four weeks.
But then, I have been lucky enough to have had some really enjoyable internships with some incredible people, and I have heard some pretty shocking stories about how some interns have been treated at some companies.
I am going to conclude this post with some pictures of Mary Katrantzous Spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection for those of you who may not be so familiar with her work. (The pictures are from style.com) The garments are amazing, and I have also included a review at the bottom for you to read.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!
September 16, 2012 LONDON
ByThere was once a certain kind of child who would collect stamps, or gather the money that relatives brought back from foreign travel, and dream about what each piece of paper represented, where it might have been, who had touched it on its journey round the world. For that child, a stamp, a banknote were small passports to an exotic otherness. Or maybe they were instruments connecting cultures. That's how Mary Katrantzou thought of them. She loved the stories they told. As borders changed and currencies became obsolete, stamps and banknotes lingered as tokens of the past, literal souvenirs of the values of other, lost cultures.
All the romance, melancholy, and beauty of those ideas were swept up in Katrantzou's latest collection, an absolute fashion tour de force. She's already proved she can make a ravishing print out of almost anything, and she has applied those prints to some extraordinary silhouettes, but form and content blended so effortlessly today that this felt like the point she'd been aspiring to since she started. It helped that stamps and banknotes have an innate two-dimensional symmetry that loans itself to abstraction in accessible shapes. And Katrantzou's shapes today were noticeably direct: A-lines, shirtdresses, shifts, and sheaths, offering ideal canvases. A stamp's serrated edges, for instance, provided a striking geometric border down the leg of slimline trousers. And the whorls and spirals of a banknote provided a luxurious pattern for a pantsuit in midnight blue brocade, especially when shot through with darkly sparkling Lurex.
That particularly stunning outfit crystallized just how refined Katrantzou's eye has become at abstracting pure form from her inspirations. But she has also mastered her materials to a quite ingenious degree. The finale featured one-of-a-kind pieces that paired metallic brocades and Swarovski crystal mesh printed with banknote designs. The process was almost impossibly complex, but the result was pure poetry, suggesting the golden shimmer of Byzantium. At the other end of the scale, Katrantzou worked with denim for the first time. Those pieces came at the beginning of the show. Suffice it to say they were scarcely denim as we know and recognize it.
Alex Fury's show notes referred to "the pure cultural capital" generated by Katrantzou's alchemical transformation of her subject matter. The soundtrack made the point a little more straightforwardly when, at one point, cash registers rang out. How often will this collection be defined in the next while by one word: ker-ching?

An hour before the Warriors' fourth and penultimate summer-league game Tuesday, here's a look at some tidbits out of Las Vegas:
* Cartier Martin, the most-pleasant surprise on the Warriors' roster, will not play against Chicago because of a shoulder injury. The wing is averaging 19.7 points and 4.3 rebounds and has caught the attention of NBA scouts with his hustle and ability to play team defense.
This puts a little speed bump on his route to an NBA gig. He most likely would not have gotten the fully-guaranteed contract he was seeking anyway, but a partially-guaranteed or a make-good contract for training camp is still probable.
* The injury to Martin could open a door for Joe Ingles, a 6-foot-8 forward from Australia. The Warriors like his skill set as a future point-forward, but they believe the 21-year-old is a year or two away from really contributing. Let us see if Ingles can change their minds with the extra minutes.
* The Warriors have been happy with the play of posts Jamal Sampson and Connor Atchley the last two games, and either could be moving ahead of Jermareo Davidson as he recovers from offseason surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot.
Sampson, a 26-year-old from Cal, is averaging one point and four rebounds in the last two games, and Atchley, an undrafted rookie out of Texas, is averaging eight points and 3.5 rebounds.

Competition and Consumer Law encompasses a range of transactions and disputes of both of a commercial and consumer nature.
The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 has replaced the former legislation known as the Trade Practices Act 1974.
Businesses cannot mislead consumers. There can be substantial fines imposed on businesses if they do. Unfair contracts, misleading and deceptive conduct, consumer protection and unconscionable conduct all now fall under the realm of Australian Consumer Law.
For example a business must not make any misleading representations of past trading figures to induce a buyer to purchase the business. Further the prohibition of deceptive conduct by businesses extends to transactions such as franchise disputes and joint ventures.
Australian Consumer Law now imposes a general duty not to act in a way which could be unconscionable. Although this applies to some business transactions it is mainly there to protect consumers, especially with a view to promoting an equal bargaining position in the supply of goods and services to a consumer.
The consumer protection provisions and guarantees are contained in a schedule to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. The schedule is designed to provide the consumer with as much protection as possible. For example, if a contract term, in a standard form consumer contract, is held by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to be unfair, then such a term may be found to be void and the contract treated as if that term never existed.
Consumer protection also extends to preventing businesses making any statements that are incorrect or likely to mislead a consumer. This encompasses advertisements as well as representations made by a person in a business.
Bennett & Philp Lawyers can advise both consumers and businesses in relation to all aspects of Competition and Consumer Law.
For all enquires relating to Competition and Consumer Law call us today.

First, it was the incriminating video of Jason Russell. Now, unbecoming footage of another one of Invisible Children's charity directors has surfaced.
TMZ obtained a clip of Jedidiah Jenkins, Invisible Children Director of Ideology, talking in slurred speech about how "rad" it was that he collected $1 million. It was apparently shot in 2010 after Invisible Children won the cash in the Chase Community Giving Facebook competition.
"Here's $100,000 for Haiti and $900,000 extra for me. Get on the bandwagon," Jenkins says in the video.
Jenkins tells RumorFix exclusively that he's unfazed by the video and that the vodka bottle was "clearly filled with water."
"TMZ can't ruin my reputation," he laughed. "I'm not worried."
He says the video was created for a co-worker who was out of town when they won the prize and that the organization donated the money to fund education in northern Uganda.
"I was joking. It was made for my co-worker who was out of town when we won the prize. I made it for her to make her laugh and let her know we were thinking of her in the office. It's hilarious that anyone would think it anything other than a joke. I mean, who can drink that much Vodka? Definitely not me. I'd die. It's clearly water. I'm not gonna apologize for being a human that jokes with his friends. I'm just sad that bottom feeders like TMZ get pay checks for manufacturing controversy in real people's lives."
It's not the first time that the organization behind the viral "Kony 2012" video has been criticized for its questionable spending.
According to Invisible Children's most recent budget report, it took in $13.8 million last year and spent $8.9 million. Of that, $3.3 million funded programs in Central Africa and the rest was spent on marketing, management, general expenses, media and "awareness products."
But the charity defended its spending strategy, saying that getting the word out is key in activating citizens.
"We've never pretended all the money goes to the ground, because we don't believe that's the best use," Jenkins told CBS. "The best use is spreading the word and then doing the highest-impact programs possible on the ground."
CORRECTION: An earlier version of the headline said Jenkins pocketed millions.

Some homemade repellents for opossums include garlic or hot chili, a castor oil-based solution, and a tea-based deterrent. These repellents use the taste and smell methods of deterring opossums without causing physical harm.Continue Reading
Mix 2 tablespoons of crushed garlic or hot chili in 1 liter of boiling water. Let it cool, and spray around the garden. Mix hot chili with a little water and dish soap, and then apply the mixture on plants that opossums like to eat to repel them. The same works when using hot mustard mixed with a little water and dish soap.
Spraying a mixture of 8 ounces of dish detergent, 8 ounces of castor oil, and 1 gallon of water around the area where opossums reside helps deter them.
Mix 4 heaped teaspoons of Lapsang Souchong tea in 2 liters of boiling water to make a tea-based deterrent. Strain and spray the cooled liquid on the plants.Learn more about Furry Pests

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
The Ultrastar 146Z10 debuts IBM's new anti-vibration technology called Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS), which seeks to improve performance in large disk arrays.
Vibration has become a serious obstacle to performance as the rotational speeds of drives have continued to increase. This problem is compounded in large disk arrays, where multiple drives are stacked on one another. While anti-vibration mounts for the arrays address part of the problem, RVS seeks to rectify the problem in the drive itself.
IBM's new system compensates by identifying the direction and intensity of the vibration and canceling out the deleterious effects of the vibration. IBM is the first to implement the technology for mass production.
The drive also features advanced software for disk drive intelligence and self-analysis; antiferromagnetically-coupled media (AKA "pixie dust") for temperature and data stability; and sophisticated read/write component designs for high-speed recording and data access.
This is the first major drive release since IBM and Hitachi merged their hard disk drive operations into a standalone joint venture in April of this year. The release of the Ultrastar 146Z10 follows the division's plan to recapture the disk market by focusing on research and technological innovation
"We have the utmost confidence that the Ultrastar 146Z10 will give customers what they need and break the strides of our competitors," said Doug Grose, general manager, IBM Storage Technology Division.
The company, through its partnership with Hitachi, is trying to battle back from a fall in market share in the server hard drive market over the last 3 years.
According to research firm IDC, Big Blue's share fell from 37 percent in 1999 to just 10 percent in the first quarter of 2002. Seagate currently dominates the market with a 57 percent market share, followed by Fujitsu, who boasts a 24 percent share.

This award is made possible by all of the dedicated and infectious work of our employees and the win-win partnerships that we have with our clients and partners to bring better decisions to the financial services industry.
San Bruno, California (PRWEB) May 28, 2014
Nomis Solutions announced today that it has been selected as a winner of Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, a prestigious honor given only to leading private companies from the Americas.
"We are thrilled to be recognized as a Top 100 Winner," said Frank Rohde, CEO of Nomis Solutions. "This award is made possible by all of the dedicated and infectious work of our employees and the win-win partnerships that we have with our clients and partners to bring better decisions to the financial services industry. This is a great milestone of a journey where data and analytics deliver tremendous value to banks and their customers."
Red Herring Top 100 America enlists outstanding entrepreneurs and promising companies. It selects 100 award winners from among the approximately 3,000 tech startups financed each year in the US and Canada. Since 1996, Red Herring has kept tabs on these up-and-comers. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, Marin Software, Palo Alto Networks, and eBay would change the way we live and work.
Fast-growing Nomis combines cutting-edge Silicon Valley approaches to big data, advanced modeling, and deep analytics to help large and medium-sized retail banks better understand their customers. Using Nomis solutions, these banks can deliver win-win products and pricing in an environment that is increasingly competitive, highly disruptive, and marked by rising interest rates.
"In 2014, selecting the top 100 achievers was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "In fact, we had the toughest time in years because so many entrepreneurs had crossed significant milestones so early. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the top 100 winners. We believe Nomis Solutions embodies the vision, drive, and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Nomis should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
Nomis announced the recognition of the Top 100 Award in front of its customers, partners, employees and investors at the seventh annual Nomis Forum, May 28-29 in Half Moon Bay, California.

Certification as a stroke certified registered nurse requires an examination and at least two years direct or indirect professional nursing experience in stroke care within the prior five year period. Certification to use the Stroke Scale, a clinical assessment tool for identifying stroke severity, requires completion of training and testing.Continue Reading
Certification as a stroke certified registered nurse is available through the American Board of Neuroscience Nursing. The association's certification eligibility criteria define direct stroke care as clinical experience in serving stroke patients and their families while accountable for patient outcomes. Qualifying indirect experience is clinical supervision of nurses or students in related research or care provision.
The stroke nursing certification examination is offered three times a year. It is a three-hour computer-based test, which includes 150 scored multiple choice items and 20 non-scored items. The exam measures knowledge and experience pertaining to the practice of neuroscience nursing, testing the candidate's knowledge, interpretation, problem-solving and evaluation. Certification recognizes a nurse's knowledge of core stroke nursing principles and the ability to care for various types of stroke patients, across age groups and medical settings.
Training and certification testing for use of the Stroke Scale as a diagnostic tool is available through the National Stroke Association both on-line and in a classroom format. The related training and testing DVD is also available from the National Institutes of Health.Learn more about Career Aspirations
