Every year the blogger favourite fragrance powerhouse launch a charity candle, which helps to support people living with mental ill health through the cultivation and care of therapeutic scented gardens. Working with dedicated charity partners, Jo Malone support the creation of peaceful and safe havens for rehabilitation across the UK - and this year they're focusing on a new London location, in addition to the existing Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh and original London site. Each garden is cared for by trainee gardeners who live with the daily challenges and isolation of mental ill health; the gardens are designed to nurture and deliver both a sense of community and transferable practical skills, which pave the path to long-term employment. Not only are these beautiful community hotspots which offer a safe haven and a moment of reflection, but they provide both short and long-term opportunities for those involved. It's such a refreshing and well thought out collaboration that will really make a difference to so many. For each Peony & Moss Candle sold in the UK, Jo Malone will make a donation equal to 75% of the retail price of £44.00 (less VAT) to several registered charities involved in the project. There's never been a better excuse to treat yourself to a new home fragrance.
Klorane & The Great Green Wall
The Klorane Institute acts for the protection of botanical heritage, and has done so since its creation in 1994. Aiming to protect plant species under threat, research into biodiversity and educate the wider world about the fragility of our botanical heritage, the work the brand does is invaluable. One of the main projects they're involved in is 'The Great Green Wall'; in order to combat the desertification (the process by which fertile land becomes desert, often due to global warming) across Africa which is crippling the environment, wildlife and local population, eleven African countries joined forces in 2004 to take on this major ecological challenge. The goal is to create a multi-species plant belt that will cross the African continent (from Dakar to Djibouti) measuring 7000km in length and 15km in breadth. Klorane have committed to plant 10,000 trees a year to help them achieve this goal, which has already seen a significant proportion of the wall being implemented. Every purchase of a Klorane shampoo, conditioner or styling product helps plant a little more of that increasingly vital Great Green Wall.
Clarins & Feeding Hungry Children
Did you know that approximately 805 million people go to bed hungry every night? That's shockingly 805 million people so poor they can't afford to eat an evening meal. Since 2001, Clarins have helped provide eleven million meals to those in need via the charity Feed - and this year they hope to provide two million more. Launching in September is their annual 'Gift With Purpose' campaign, which provides a handy pouch brimming with some incredible Clarins goodies for you to take home when you buy two full sized products (one to be skincare.) The difference between this and normal campaigns is that for every pouch claimed, Clarins will provide ten nutritious school meals to children in developing countries. It's such an important cause and it's so easy to get involved - all you have to do is buy your usual favourites and let Clarins spread joy to others with a hearty, tasty meal.
Illamasqua & The Sophie Lancaster Foundation
On 11th August 2007, 20 year-old Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend Robert Maltby were kicked, stamped on and left unconscious for nothing more than looking different. Sophie later died from her injuries. The Sophie Lancaster Foundation was set up Sophie's mother in her memory, and works to stamp out intolerance and discrimination in society through education. As a brand that promotes the right to experiment and self-express, Illamasqua proudly supports the foundation and its commitment to changing attitudes towards subcultures. Every year they launch a product that helps to raise funds via a £1.00 donation from each sale, but most importantly Illamasqua celebrates uniqueness and proudly stands up to say it's ok to be different. Walking down the street in London you don't glance twice if people have blue hair or black lips, but outside of big cities it's often still looked upon as something strange and to be mocked; this isn't ok. The foundation aims to change perceptions and celebrate diversity, teaching tolerance and acceptable rather than diverting back to fighting against something that's different. Never has an underlying message been so culturally relevant.
The Body Shop & Bio Bridges
As part of their pledge to protect and enrich the world we live in, The Body Shop have made a commitment to build Bio-Bridges in countries who are in desperate need of environmental support. 'Bio-Bridges' are restored wildlife corridors within damaged landscapes that help endangered species reconnect, enabling them and local communities to thrive; without them, we could see species fall extinct and villages to go hungry. Over the coming months, every purchase made in store and online will help restore one square metre of threatened rainforest in Khe Nuoc Trong, Vietnam. The Body Shop are aiming to restore 14.5 million square metres of rainforest this summer alone, with the campaign continuing well into the Christmas season. As a brand who look to nature for inspiration in everything they do, and who rely so heavily on the fruits of Mother Nature to keep us looking beautiful, it's amazing to see them give so much back and ensure future generations will still be able to enjoy the lush green landscapes we know today.
Did you already know about any of these important charity collaborations? Do you know of any other great partnerships your favourite beauty names have undertaken?

The Louisiana Board of Ethics has filed charges against a former state health agency accountant arrested for alleged theft of $1 million to allegedly feed her gambling addiction.
The charges against Deborah Crowder Loper were made public on the board's website Friday. No public action was taken in advance of the charges being filed.
Loper faces an Aug. 5 trial date in 19th Judicial District Court on theft, malfeasance in office and money laundering charges. She was arrested last June, accused of diverting the funds over a period of six years.
The Ethics Board said Loper violated state ethics law by receiving just over $1 million in DHH funds "for her personal use, at a time in which she was not duly entitled, for the performance of the duties and responsibilities of her public job."
Under state ethics law, no public servant shall receive anything of economic value, other than compensation and benefits from the governmental entity to which she is duly entitled, for the performance of the duties and responsibilities of her office or position.
Ethics Administrator Kathleen Allen said the ethics board "felt she may have violated criminal provisions but also violated ethics provisions. It's a different statute, criminal and civil."
Allen said the ethics charge could bring a $10,000 fine per violation as well as a penalty of up to one-and-a-half times "the amount she received to her economic benefit."
The case has been forwarded to the Ethics Adjudicatory Board for hearing.
Loper was the manager of the Department of Health and Hospital's financial management section, which was responsible for depositing DHH revenue, reconciling bank statements and completing federal and state financial reports.
DHH hosted the 2009 annual National Association of State Human Services Finance Officers conference with an account set up at Capitol One Bank. Only Loper and now DHH Undersecretary Jeff Reynolds were authorized on the bank account. Reynolds directed her to close the account at the conference's end, according to the ethics charges.
"Ms. Loper did not close the NASHSFO account and diverted DHH funds into the account for her personal use," the ethics board said. "Ms. Loper diverted over 167 checks issued to DHH totaling approximately $1,058,446 to the ... bank account for her personal use."
DHH fired Loper in March 2013. She had been employed by DHH's Division of Fiscal Management since April 2005.
The agency took steps to limit employees dealing with checks in the wake of the Loper situation.

text: Pirates infielder Jim Morrison said Pittsburgh ''isn't a baseball town'' and called for the ailing National League team to move to another city. Morrison wasn't impressed by the 31,384 fans who turned out for Sunday's Pirates-Chicago game because, he said, ''26,000 of them came to root for the Cubs. The ones that do come, boo the first time you strike out or make an error and they call you names the whole game. They are just miserable people and they come and take it out on us. People have a right to come and boo but it is a difficult environment to play in. It's time to move on to a town that wants baseball and where we can have some fun. I just don't believe Pittsburgh people really want baseball.'' Pirates President Dan Galbreath has put the team up for sale, and Morrison said the sooner the club is sold, the better.

Her father, who is Jewish, worked as a designer of men's clothing, and his mother was quite well-known in those years the singer. When she was three years old, the family moved to New York. Here, in his youth Shelley studied at the prestigious studio acting Hollywood Studio Club and lived in a studio residence. Her roommate was subsequently famous Marilyn Monroe. Winters also attended classes renowned Actors Studio in New York and Shakespeare courses that led Charles Laughton.

Cukor "Double Life" (1947). The following her movies "The Great Gatsby" (1949), "Winchester '73" (1950) and "A Place in the Sun" (1951) consolidated the Shelley glory of one of the queens of Hollywood.
Winters most actively starred in the 1950s and 60s, and played in the theater, including Broadway. in the category "Best Supporting Actress" for his work in "The Diary of Anne Frank" In 1959 she was awarded the "Oscar" award. This actress statuette subsequently referred to the Anne Frank museum. The second prize in the same category Shelley received in 1965 for her role in "A piece of the blue."
In 1962, she starred in Stanley Kubrick in the film adaptation of the novel of Nabokov's "Lolita" in the role of Charlotte. From the following roles should be noted the passenger liner image of Bella Rose Ribbon "Adventure" Poseidon, "" (1972).

Build Guide by The True Story
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Tryndamere Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Alright lets see here, well to begin with hello everyone! If you are reading this right now then thank you for checking over my build! :D This is indeed my first build and hopefully you guys like it!
Well my Tryndamere build is based on hitting all hits critical, with fast attack speed, high damage, and slowing strikes that leave the foes with repercussions of not using their tele or ghost to get away from me! ;D
Deadliness You max this to 3/3 because like I said the build is based on critical strikes and this really helps!
Cripple You need this mastery because it enhances your exhaust spell which is very handy for opponents such as Sivir that like to run a lot >.> It slows them down and reduces their armor and magic resistance by 10 so you can damage them even more than normal! But of course Sivir shouldn't be much of a fight anyways and shouldn't run too far before you take her down! :D
Archmage's Savvy You have to have some thing into your ability power right??
Alacrity You have to attack faster and more successful so you need more attack rate!
Sorcery You need this maxed out to be able to cast your attacks faster and be able to spin to those summoners that run away from you haha. Well anyways you need your attacks to heal (Q) to slow them (W) to run up to them and damage them (E) and if you need your Ultimate to survive or just kick their ***!! (R Duh!!) :P
Sunder If your going up against tanks, this mastery will help you more than with just a squishy person. It ignores a percentage of their armor so you can cause more physical damage and be able to hurt them more!
Brute Force I put one into this mastery for the reason that the other masteries were more needed, such as Lethality and Havoc. Since I maxed out Sorcery to be able to cast my attacks faster since Tryndamere is mainly based on his attacks since he has low cooldown and no mana.
Resistance Since I experienced bad times against mages >.< you need as much magic resistance as possible without having to give up valuable items. So max this out to have more magic resistance.
Hardiness You need some physical resistance also since you don't have any armors or anything like those heavy tankers.
Evasion You need to be able to dodge as much as possible since you will be running in after your foes a lot and you are a melee person that comes up and hacks and slashes till the death!
Nimbleness Tryndamere is already one of the fastest Champs on the map whenever I see him on there or I am using him so you need this to be able to run faster and faster! haha
Well thats all for the masteries >.>
Skills Son!
Battle Fury (Innate): Trymdamere's Critical Strike chance increases by 5% per 10% health he is missing.
Bloodlust (Passive): Whenever Tryndamere kills a unit or critically strikes, he gains 4 Attack Damage and increased critical strike damage for 15 seconds (stackable 8 times). Killing a unit or critically striking while not Bloodlusted applies 2 stacks instead of 1.
(Active): Tryndamere consumes his Bloodlusts, restoring health.
* No Cost
* Range: 319
Cooldown: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 seconds.
Critical Damage: 1.5 / 2.25 / 3 / 3.75 / 4.5%
Health Restored: 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 per Bloodlust (+1.5 per ability power)
Mocking Shout (Active): Decreases surrounding champions' physical damage, and enemies with their backs turned also have their movement speed slowed. Lasts 4 seconds.
* Cooldown: 14 seconds
* Cost: 25 Health
* Range 400
Damage Debuffed: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100
Slow: 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60%
Spinning Slash (Active): Tryndamere spins through his enemies, dealing 50% of his Attack Damage plus some extra damage to enemies in his path.
(Passive): Slash's cooldown is reduced by 2 seconds whenever Tryndamere critically strikes.
* Cooldown: 9 seconds
* Range: Global
Damage: 40 / 90 / 140 / 185 / 240 (+1 per ability power)
Cost: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 Health
Undying Rage (Active): Tryndamere becomes completely immune to death for 6 seconds, refusing to be reduced below 1 health. His abilities have no cost during this time and he gains Bloodlust stacks.This move is usable while stunned or disabled.
* Range: 400
* No Cost
Cooldown: 110 / 100 / 90 seconds
Bloodlust Stacks: 4 / 6 / 8
Rune build
Greater Mark of Furor You need as much critical damage as you can get! ;D 20.07 Critical Strike Damage with x9 of these.
Greater Seal of Furor 7.02 Critical Strike Damage
Greater Glyph of Furor 5.04 Critical Strike Damage
Greater Quintessence of Furor 13.38 Critical Strike Damage.
Well then! That was hard to explain! :P Haha
Items and why!!
Ninja Tabi +23 Armor
+11% Dodge Chance
UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2
Ninja Tabi shoes give you good movement speed and also a real good chance to dodge which is real important since your a melee face to face fighter.
Elixir of Agility It's good to buy one of these because it gives you 12-21% Critical Strike, based on champion level, and 35% Attack Speed for 4 minutes.
Phantom Dancer +45% Attack Speed
+30% Critical Strike
+20% Dodge Chance
+12% Movement Speed
Phantom Dancer is necessary for faster attacking, high critical strikes, high dodge chance, and faster movement speed.
Infinity Edge +80 Attack Damage
+20% Critical Strike
UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits now deal 250% damage instead of 200%.
This adds a really good amount of attack damage and critical strikes that allow you to take off more with the 50% more critical strike damage.
The Bloodthirster +60 Attack Damage
+15% Life steal
Passive: Gain an additional 1 Physical Damage and 0.25% Life steal per kill. Maximum of +40 Damage and 10% Life steal. Bonuses are lost upon death.
This weapon gives you good attack with the stack up for life steal and physical damage on top of the 60 attack damage and 15% life steal it already gives you.
Frozen Mallet +775 Health
+20 Attack Damage
UNIQUE Passive: Physical attacks reduce your target's Movement Speed for 2.5 seconds.
I really like using Frozen Mallet with Tryndamere because he is already fast as it is and attacks decently fast so why not squeeze out as much as possible? Slow your opponent down and finish him off! Plus Frozen Mallet adds good damage to your hits.
Well that's it for my build, I'm sorry I didn't upload any photos because if I knew how I would.. I put every single item needed to make your recipe because with the high price of most of the items you need to be able to have some items on you to be able to do good.
I usually buy the items whenever I need to go back to base, so hopefully by then I will have enough gold to buy at least one Legendary Item. My techniques are. hmmm kill creeps and get your stacks up for your Bloodlust so you can later use that to heal or so you can have passive Attack speed and critical strikes. I then use Spinning Slash to charge at them, hit them with melee a little, if they start running I use Mocking Shout, and if I start dying then I use that also and run away with my Ulti and Spinning Slash. I'm still a noob to this game so I'm not that great, but I have been getting a lot better. I've only used Tryndamere once so this build is based on my experience and overall knowledge of the game in the week or so that I've been playing. lol.. So enjoy and please tell me what you think!

The wind slips through the broken window licking painfully the wounds of Silvia, who put on her makeup in the mirror while she eats her cry.
Silvia is painting in red the blue in her lips,
in peach the black in her eye,
in flesh his fingers marked in purple in her arm …
while she lies to her reflection,
saying this is the last time,
that he has apologized to her, truly this time,
that she deserves his deformed words and blows,
that without him she would be nothing and that
he, deep in his heart,
loves her.
And so it goes a day,
a week,
a year …
until one day is the cold and dirty water who slips through her mouth and licks her wounds while makeup and embraces her skin in a silent hug that turns off her life.
Rise is my CG art installation at Moya Land, the virtual gallery in Second Life of french multimedia artist Patrick Moya (aka Moya Janus). It's a lite version of the one I did for non-profits project One Billion Rising in its initiative in Second Life, to help in the call to protest against gender violence. Rise talks about a woman that hopes that her beloved and abuser can change, maybe someday because "he, deep in his heart, loves her"… and that hope is what kill her at last.
Visit Rise in Second Life here:
Also, Wizardoz Chrome make a video with some of the captures she took during the Vernissage opening of Moya Land where you can see Rise and many other interesting artworks from Pol Jarvinen, Layachi Ihnen, Nino Vichan, Lemelon rouge Onyett, Comet Morigi, Luciella Lutrova, Glyph Graves, Cayenne Avon, Van Caerndow, ieko Catnap and Fiona Saiman.

1.1 History and unique features
The University of Tsukuba was established in 1973 as the first comprehensive university in post-WWII Japan to spearhead nation-wide university reform policy. The main campus is located in the northern part of Tsukuba City, 60 km northeast of Tokyo with one of the largest campuses of the country (2,700 hectares). The City center is only 45 minutes from Tokyo by train or bus. There are direct bus services to the Narita International Airport, the Haneda Airport, and Tokyo Disneyland!
The University has emphasized openness, innovative systems for education and research, and new university self-governance in undertaking the reform policy. Through its unique curriculum and research incentives, it has cultivated many leaders and scholars with advanced knowledge. The size of the University has expanded since its foundation and, as of May 2017, 9,944 undergraduate students and 6,834 graduate students are studying in two campuses. Among them were 1,905 international students from 117 countries. The total number of faculty members is 2,782.
We have always strived to be a unique, active, and internationally competitive university with superlative education and research facilities. Our effort has proved to be successful as the Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology recognized in 2009 our University as one of the thirteen "leading universities" in Japan. As of 2017, the University has produced three Nobel Prize laureates in physics and chemistry along with many distinguished scholars in sciences and humanities. Our distinguished kinesiology and sports department has produced several Olympic medalists.
Another distinctive characteristic of the University is to have many affiliated universities and several overseas offices throughout the world. As of May 2017, there are more than 342 Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs), which encompass 66 countries, including Myanmar.
Educational Needs in Myanmar
Myanmar needs more highly educated and capable individuals who can contribute to the sustainable agricultural development of the country by promoting agricultural productivity comprehensively with the in-depth knowledge of plant breeding, integrated control, and soil science. This need must be considered in connection to the needs of conserving plant/ seed genetic biodiversity and the natural environment. Myanmar also needs more people who have advanced knowledge about agricultural economy and policy, and can deal with issues of food safety, poverty reduction, and the international food market within both local and global contexts. Moreover, it will hugely benefit from having those trained and well-informed individuals who can contribute to the development of irrigation systems and infrastructure. These educated individuals are essential in spreading useful advanced knowledge on agricultural production among local farmers.
Education Strategy at the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences
Considering the above needs, the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, the University of Tsukuba, intends to assemble appropriate groups of experts within the School, especially in the fields of plant breeding, integrated control, and soil science as well as agricultural economy and infrastructure development/improvement. Also, it will offer basic education and expert training that foster skills of solving or mitigating agricultural problems, infrastructure development/improvement, and sustainable rural development. We will offer courses that first induce the students to examine these problems within both global and local contexts. The School then prepares the students to be country's representatives in communicating particular scientific and technical knowledge at policymaking arenas. This includes the refinement of data collection, writing, presenting, debating and negotiating skills. Some courses are designed to improve these skills systematically. The JDS Fellows then focus on their research topics that are relevant to agricultural problems in Myanmar, and they investigate the possible policy strategies that may enhance the productivity of crops.
The Strengths and Characteristics of the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences
The Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences consists of four major academic fields: agricultural sciences, biology, earth sciences, and interdisciplinary studies. It offers both basic and advanced courses. It also offers four programs in English, which provide advanced knowledge and technologies that pertain to agriculture and rural development. Those faculty members who are not involved in these English programs have also provided research guidance in English. This experience has resulted into publishing many academic journal articles, books, and conference presentations in English. Those JDS Fellows who belong to the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences are entitled to take any courses in other graduate schools. If those outside courses are important to conduct and refine thesis research, maximum 10 credits can be recognized as part of requirement for degree completion.
3.1 Master's Program in Environmental Sciences
(a) Building the Foundation
After admission, JDS Fellows will belong to the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences, and they will set out the process of acquiring master's degree in environmental sciences in two years. In order to receive the degree, they need to acquire 30 credits from the courses that are recognized by the Master's Program. They also complete master's thesis and pass oral examination.
What is very distinctive about this process is that we offer some compulsory seminar and fieldwork courses that encompass wide-ranging topics, including hydrology, meteorology, forestry, ecology, agricultural sciences, biology, environmental engineering, waste management, environmental economy, soil sciences, remote sensing, history, and environmental ethics. Here students have rare opportunities to understand that rural/urban development and environmental issues are interconnected. This education process is uniquely heightened by a set of field activities, in which students learn how to examine some specific case in the field within this interconnected context.
(b) Road to Becoming Leader/Expert
With this basic training as their intellectual foundation, students then focus on some specific topics for their research interests. Here JDS Fellows can choose to take a certificate program called "Sustainability Science, Technology, and Policy (SUSTEP)." This aims to foster global leaders by refining their science communication skills with broader interdisciplinary understanding.
The SUSTEP Program developed as a result of 8 years of past experience in administering 4 certificate programs. After completing requirements, a student will receive a certificate and a diploma supplement. The supplement verifies the contents of student's learning history, including GPA.
Another distinctive feature of our certificate program is that students have rare opportunities to meet and interact with distinguished leaders and experts from not only Japan but also Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, and other countries at seminars the SUSTEP Program organizes a few times a year. Through these opportunities, JDS Fellows can establish international networks that can benefit their future career development. In addition, the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences has established a consortium with graduate schools in Asia, Europe and Latin America that stimulates JDS Fellows' research progress.
In addition, the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences has established a consortium with graduate schools in Asia, Europe and Latin America that stimulates JDS Fellows' research progress. In 2015, the SUSTEP Program joined the world-wide university network, "the Global Universities Partnership on Environment for Sustainability (GUPES)," which is one of UNEP's flagship programs. As part of membership activities, we send a number of students to Tongji University (China) each year for sustainability conference and workshops.
However, global leadership and expertise do not mean that students only take courses and listen. In our degree program, JDS Fellows actively participate in learning processes. We provide courses that foster their presentation, writing and debating skills in English. The quality of these courses can match the ones at North American graduate schools. In addition, JDS Fellows have opportunities to present their research topics and engage in debates at international internships in Asia. These opportunities have successfully enhanced the confidence and international competitiveness of our past JDS Fellows. Our program also offers the academic writing support center, which provides professional support and advice for JDS and other students in writing in English.
3.2 Our JDS Specials: Tailor-Made Program
Our educational activities for the JDS Special Program have focused and will focus on four major areas: (1) academic seminar, (2) overseas seminars and field surveys,, (3) internship trips in Japan, and (4) the improvement of the educational environment. Each year the SUSTEP Committee discusses and decides detailed plans for seminars and activities that meet the disparate needs of JDS Fellows. All Fellows will receive guidance about how their special program is going to be administered. This "tailor-made" practice has become norm among our committee members.
(1) For the international seminars, we invite distinguished experts from renowned universities or research institutions. We select these speakers on the basis of not only their name value but also their educational merit. In these seminars, JDS Fellows listen to lectures and present their research topics. The students then receive comments on their presentations from these invited experts so that the students can improve their researches. This interaction also means to expand the students' academic networks.
(2) If necessary, JDS Fellows will travel to the country/region to enhance knowledge about their theses research topics with at least one faculty member of the University of Tsukuba. There they learn how to conduct research and survey for data collection. Also, faculty members will establish/maintain the network with JDS alumni in order to self-evaluate the effectiveness of our JDS Special Program. This will provide opportunity to improve our program for JDS Fellows.
(3) We will conduct domestic internship programs that meet the research interests of JDS Fellows each year. In the past, we have taken JDS Fellows to places where they could observe and examine the issues that are related to organic farms, lake restoration, Japanese waste treatment facilities, recycling technology and policies, forest conservation, protected area policies, rural development, biodiversity and Satoyama, local environmental conservation and traditional knowledge, tourism and local economy, environmental disaster prevention and public works policies, urban planning, pollution, climate change and energy problems. As the city of Tsukuba has about 40% of Japan's national research institutions, and as our faculty members have collaborative relationships with some of them, we sometimes organize internships in collaboration with them.
(4) For years, the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences has managed webpages that are specifically designed for JDS Fellows. The webpages have provided information for current JDS Fellows, graduates, and prospective Fellows. In 2012, the English version of the official website for the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences was renewed to enhance teaching capacity. By using the websites, JDS and other students can now receive course information, reading materials and important news about courses. We intend to improve the quality of on-line accessibility and the education environment for JDS Fellows.
Another good news for upcoming JDS Fellows to our Program is that the entire building that our program uses (Natural Science Buildings) is completely renovated with enhanced earthquakes resistance. The renovated building will not only be safer but also have a free Wi-Fi access in their rooms, and lounge space with kitchen facility so that JDS Fellows can engage in group discussion.
For all students who belong to the Master's Program in Environmental Sciences, the basic requirement for course work is to take 30 credits or more, including 18 credits from compulsory courses. Most of the compulsory courses are directly relevant to thesis completion, which is also required to complete the degree.

The Master's Program in Environmental Sciences has adopted the advisory committee system for the instruction of individual study/research. The standard time frame for the completion of the Program is two years or four semesters. The following table shows the academic schedule that is applied to JDS Fellows:
|Pre-admission guidance (curriculum, campus life, etc.)
Domestic internship for all JDS Fellows (September)
|First Year (October 2018-March 2019)
|Fall semester (October-March)
|SECOND YEAR (April 2019-March 2020)
|Spring semester (April-September)
|THIRD YEAR (April-September 2020)
|Spring semester (April-September):
|GRADUATION (September)
On the main Tsukuba campus, where JDS Fellows study, there are 60 student residence buildings, which can accommodate 4,000 persons (3,430 single rooms; 153 couple units; 251 family units). It is possible that all regular students, including JDS Fellows, can find a room. These housing complexes are conveniently located within the campus.
Library: The Best in Japan
The University of Tsukuba libraries hold more than 2,662,000 books (more than 1,041,000 foreign language books) and 29,586 e-journals. This open-access holding is the largest in Japan. There are also 27 research databases and 32,690 e-book titles (non-Japanese title 31,543). The library website uses OPAC search catalogue, which allows to explore all forms of information (e.g., newspaper articles, magazine, journal articles, and electronic resources) by simple keywords. Considering that Japanese libraries tend to have relatively small collection of books in English, our university libraries offer the best research conditions in English. The main library offers guidance for researchers and students in both English and Japanese (about 148 times a year).
International Student Center
The International Student Center of the University of Tsukuba is one of the largest international student support facilities among national universities in Japan, offering wide-ranging services. It offers a good range of courses on Japanese language and culture. Past JDS Fellows have taken some of these courses. Another service is the consultation for international students, including concerns about their job search and living. The Center's full-time faculty members and office personnel regularly consult students. The Center also provides information and services for those who are interested in studying at the University of Tsukuba.
World-class Sport Facilities
The University of Tsukuba has provided world-class sport facilities for many Olympic athletes on campus. Not only Olympians but also many other athletes joined professional sports as well. Some of these facilities, including swimming pool, track fields, and gymnasiums are open to all students. Some JDS Fellows have regularly taken advantage of these facilities.
Message to Future JDS Fellows
In July, those of us who have taught JDS Fellows in this master's program come together and listen to JDS Fellows' final presentations about their thesis researches. We recollect then how these Fellows started their studies. Some of them looked anxious without fully comprehending what was expected in graduate education for "masters." Now, in less than two years, we see that the Fellows can communicate with us about their research results in English almost fluently. We also see confidence in their faces. All audiences, including faculty members, now listen to them carefully and learn from their presentations. We see that the Fellows now have much larger capacities, knowledge, and insights than they did two years ago. If you decide to join us, this is probably what you expect to see yourself in two years, a very small fraction of your lifetime.

Golfers wearing short-sleeve shirts — and some in shorts — filled the tees on the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, but the weather changed and by Friday, play had dwindled to nothing.
The result: the bottom line takes a beating in lost revenue and increased labor expenses, and superintendents' skills are put to the test with the huge swings in temperature.
"Very challenging," said Tim Kreger, executive director of the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association. "The new ultradwarf Bermuda grasses are very susceptible to cold temperatures, and if you don't take care of greens now, you will have problems later. The thing is, cold weather could 'get' the greens now and you wouldn't know until the spring."
To protect greens, some clubs have covers. "They're costly and obviously very labor-intensive," Kreger said. Putting them on for the night, then taking them off (for play) in the morning is a lot of work."
Jeff Connell, Fort Jackson Golf Club's superintendent, protects the greens at the 36-hole facility by watering them late on afternoons when freezing temperatures are forecast, and allowing a thin layer of ice to form a barrier. The principle, he said, is like farmers' spraying water to protect tender crops with the ice acting as a mulch or a cover.
Other clubs will use mulch or pine straw to cover their greens, which again adds to labor costs.
"That's a lot of area to cover and then uncover," Kreger said.
"But that's what (superintendents) have to do," Connell said. "Our job is to protect the golf course and on a day like (Friday), or during that really cold spell a couple of weeks ago, the greens won't even thaw out during the day. I know some guys will say, 'Hey, I wanted to play today,' but would they rather play today in the cold, or have good greens when the weather warms up?
"I went to Nashville to an agronomy meeting not long ago and they had covered the greens and closed the courses for the winter. We don't have that option. Golf in South Carolina is 12 months a year, and we have to have the courses prepared all the time."
The good news, Kreger said, is weeds are not a problem during the cold weather and, more important, the caliber of golf course superintendents continues to climb.
"We, in the Columbia area, have outstanding superintendents," Connell said. "Look around at all the courses and they are always in excellent shape."
Golf is like any other sport or business at the mercy of the weather. Every tee time that goes unused cannot be recovered. "If you have, say, 500, rounds budgeted for January and there is no play, every day is a lost opportunity," Kreger said.
Chip shots
South Carolinians claimed four of the six players of the year awards from the CGA. The winners: Dawn Woodard (Greer, women), Rick Cloninger (Fort Mill, senior men), Ashley Rose (North Augusta, senior women), Reona Hirai (Summerville, junior girls), Scott Harvey (Greensboro, N.C., men) and Tim Conover (Holly Springs, N.C., junior boys). ...
Clemson freshman Ashlan Ramsey has been named both the women's and girls' player of the year by the Georgia State Golf Association. She shared the organization's overall player of the year award. ...
The Masters, the R&A, and the USGA have formed the Latin America Amateur championship with a goal of stimulating growth of golf in that area.

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet" - Albert Einstein.
"If a man eats meat, he will take on the qualities of the animal he eats and once those qualities enter, the man's anger, his hastiness, and his animal qualities will increase. If he does not kill anything on the inside he will not kill anything on the outside." - Islamic Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
"The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion." - The Buddha in Mahaparinirvana Sutra
"One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings." - The Buddha in Dhammapada, Ch. 19 (15/270), Max Muller, Trans.
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage, that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants" - Mahatma Gandhi
Such words are not about justifying vegetarianism as a dogma but rather imploring to our hearts the deeper side of nutrition and it's importance in modern society.
The subject of nutrition is not simply a question of the food we eat at meals. Besides nutrients, foods contain scents, colours and invisible particles that attract pure light, light that is so essential for our joyful life and well-being. The choice we make is therefore always of consequential significance.
The difference between flesh-based and vegetarian foods lies in the amount of sunlight they contain. Fruits and vegetables are so steeped in sunlight, that one could say they are a condensed form of light. In order to develop the qualities of the heart, besides eating peacefully, one needs to eat consciously. This means bringing in the light, eating the concentrated light which contains the beautiful sounds that connect our hearts to the rhythms and invisible aspects of the Universe. This attracts the luminous properties of matter and illuminates your being, especially your thoughts and emotions, not just today, but throughout your experience of your existence on this material plane.
Your future depends on how you eat and what you eat. Your body is your temple and every action within the temple, done with conscious intention, creates a more harmonious outcome. Transcendence happens as you obtain better and more refined particles to replace that which hold the old and limiting particles which colour your experience of this ecstatic universe. The quality of your food, it's physical properties, not only transforms your emotions and mind, but can actually change your appearance and personality. Everything around us is is permeated by forces and those forces become more pure and subtle the further they reach the higher planes of light that exist here in the physical world.
This realm is of a spiritual nature, which transcends limitations and lives in the pureness of your most luminous and open qualities. The secret to opening the treasure-house of food, is the love and compassion attained within your consciousness. The treasure is the sun, condensed into particles, which we can send to all the centres in our bodies. This essential signpost of love reveals to you that at the deepest level, compassion becomes a healing power in the widest sense.
For those of you who have a religious inclination, it would be interesting to take note that, for example, in the Bible we can read: "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed which is upon the face of the Earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food." (Genesis 1:29)
It is the first dietary law for spiritual life in the Torah/Old Testament (which Jews, Christians and Muslims consider as divinely inspired revelation), where there is no indication for people to eat animals. It is also one of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13).
In Jainism, ahimsa, the doctrine of non-violence, is a central theme. Because of this the Jains have maintained a strong and unbroken vegetarian lifestyle throughout history.
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Bhagavad Gita, 9.26)

Jeff DeBuys, Independence skipper, noticed I had put the wrong credit on the story and pictures yesterday, and used the Intrepids name when I should have given credit to the Indy. Theres little I can say, except to note that this has happened before, but I always was able to correct the misnomers before putting the story up on the Internet. I offer my apologies to Jeff and to the owners of the Independence. Heres the corrected story:
Good End
Independence noted the winners from the boats latest trip, returned July 10. Skipper Jeff DeBuys wrote July 9:
We fished offshore for our last day and had a really great day catching 18 to 50-pound Yellowfin Tuna, and a few 40-pound Bluefin Tuna. First thing in the morning we got a school that wanted to go for it, and the rest of the day was good scratching on these beauties, a perfect ending by any standards, and grease calm on the weather.
On July 10 he posted:
A huge thanks to Wendy Tochihara and Lori Byron for all the really great tackle for everyone on board, they really put it to good use. Jackpot winners on the Izorline/Turners trip were:
1st place, 53-pound Yellowfin Tuna, Stephanie Yonai
2nd place, 50-pound Yellowfin Steve Uthoff
3rd place, 43-Pound Yellowfin Angelo Badalamenti
Meanwhile, the boat Independence is out on a five-day Queen of Hearts trip.
Right Day
American Angler posted July 13:
Sometimes timing and luck are better than skill any day of the week, most importantly in this business. Well thats about all I can say about today. Lots of fun and good fishing, they were hitting Plug rods, Yoyo, fly line you pick it was a blast. A mix of our folks and crew for tonights photos and we are moving up tonight to see what our luck brings tomorrow. Good times and good night.
One More
On July 9 I posted a brief story and pictures of friend Mark Maruccias trimaran fishing trip to the Bay of LA. I see I have at least a couple more shots from that expedition, which produced some big yellowtail and many smaller fish. Heres one that shows a nice yellow and the boat.

Re: Decimal Codepoint format bug
We never thought about this, and so it always displays the hexadecimal presentation of the codepoint values there.
I'll make sure the next update will use the setting, but will still always save the xml file with hexadecimal values.

Pratt & Miller, Corvette Racing Look Back On The 24H Of Le Mans 2014: Video0
Sponsored Links
For 15 years, Corvette Racing and their loud yellow 'Vettes have been a regular sight in the paddock at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team has won the historic French endurance race seven times and with their new-for-2014 C7.R, is hoping to continue the success seen in the C6.R and C5-R which preceded it.
This year, Corvette Racing ran into some bad luck at Le Mans when racing against some of the most established sports cars on the market. The No. 73 car, driven by Jan Magnussen, Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor, fell behind after it was discovered the valve stem for the car's air jack was faulty. Despite falling off pace, the No. 73 car battled back, giving fans a good show and the team a respectable second place finish in one of motorsport's most demanding races.
Even though they didn't win, their first pilgrimage out to the Circuit de la Sarthe in the C7.R will certainly go down in Corvette Racing's history books. The builder of the C7.R and so many other of General Motors' factory race cars, Pratt and Miller, will also remember the race for years to come, and put together a very well-made compilation looking back on the event. Check it out below and if you want more Corvette Racing action, you can catch them racing in the ongoing IMSA TUDOR United Sportscar Championship this summer.

I've made these little guys a couple times before for cupcake toppers at penguin-themed birthday parties and when Gwen asked me if I'd like to participate in Haul Out the Holly I thought this would make the perfect tutorial to share with you. What could be more festive than adorning your holiday treats with fondant penguins?
Before we begin, a little bit about working with fondant:
I buy my fondant pre-made from the craft store (Michaels or JoAnn's). There are recipes for homemade, but I think it's downright affordable at $8 for the box in the picture - and even less if you've got one of their 40% off coupons.
Here are two great resources for coloring fondant if you're a first-timer and need some direction: Wilton's brief tutorial or this handy YouTube video.
During the penguin-making process, keep the balls of fondant that you're not currently using in a container with a lid or a plastic baggie to keep them from drying out.
To reinvigorate slightly dry fondant, smear some Crisco on your hands and knead it into the fondant until it's a pliable, workable consistency.
I store my leftover colored fondant (each color in a separate plastic sandwich bag) in plastic Tupperware containers in the pantry. They last for about a month before they get totally dried out. I wrap the unused portion of the brick of fondant in a plastic Ziploc bag, inside it's original box and it keeps for a really long time. The end might get kind of dried out, but you just chop it off and the rest is fine.
Fondant critters can keep for a couple of weeks in a container with a lid in a cool, dry place.
Alright. Let's make a penguin!
Phase 1: The Body
1. Roll some black fondant into about a 1/2" ball.
2. Shape the ball into an oval or jellybean shape.
3. Elongate one end of the oval by gently pinching and rolling it between thumb and forefinger.
4. Gently tamp it down on the work surface to make the base flat and even. The end result should be a shape somewhere between a bowling pin and an egg.
Phase 2: The Tummy
Have fun experimenting with different accessories for these little guys! Here are a couple of ideas from penguins I've made in the past (click on the photos to be transported to the original posts). You can use them to decorate cakes or cupcakes or whatever the heck else you want!

Tonight I created a card that was requested by my SIL. She wanted a birthday card for her mom. And asked if it could be Victorian type. I figured that I should use a beautiful silhouette image by Floppy Latte Design. You can find it at Stichy bear stamps. It has two wonderful little angels.
For those of you that follow my blog you will know that my SIL just had 2 months ago beautiful twins. A boy and a girl. This image reminded me of them. I figured that this would be perfect for the grandma ;)

WATCH: Adorable boy comforts girl on first day of preschool: "Don't worry, I'll protect you"
This delightful video was taken on a girl's first day at a kindergarten. She's clearly worried. The boy sitting next to her, however, is very comforting and reassuring. The video has been trending in Taiwan and people are commenting how 'manly' this little boy is. Their hilarious dialogue has struck a chord with the viewers and the video has become very popular.
Remember, it is not a commercial. The kids in the video are real and they were talking naturally, not acting.
What else can a girl ask for? This boy is clearly a knight who is patient and reassuring, and said his now iconic line 'You don't need to worry, I'll protect you.' for a 5 whopping times. Would a real-life hero be as kind and comforting?
By the way, the original video was taken around 3 years ago, but the kindergarten has only just released it this year when the kids graduated, and it's released with the parents' permission, according to Taiwanese news.
All I can say is, I wish I had a guy as confident and protective as this little boy. I'm sure this awesome boy will continue to protect his friends.


text: Guide to Printing Windows Folder Lists Written by: Christian Cawley • Edited by: Brian Nelson Published May 12, 2010 • Related Guides: Windows | Windows Vista | Windows XP If you've ever thought it would be useful to be able to print the contents of a folder as an image or as a printed list, you'll be pleased to know that it is both possible and simple to do! Why Print Folder Lists?There might be any number of reasons that you would want to print the contents of your folders – you might want to create an illustration of a folder hierarchy, point someone in the direction of a specific file, or it might be for audit purposes. Either way, you can print both a graphical representation of your folder contents and a text list detailing dates, times, folder names, file types and file sizes with the minimum of fuss. Both methods are very easy, and rely on tools already present in Windows.Printing Folder List Images The simplest way of printing folder lists in Windows is to basically take a screengrab. This can be easily done by opening Windows Explorer (either by right-clicking My Computer and selecting Explore or in Windows Vista and later Start > and enter explorer in the Search box) and browsing to the file whose contents you wish to list. Next, choose the appropriate view – by default Windows displays folder contents as Icons, although you might prefer to view Details. Thumbnails, Tile and List are other views available, all accessible from the View menu. If you chose to view Details, You might wish to make some adjustments at this stage – resize column widths, or reorganise the layout. This can be done by right-clicking on the column titles and choosing a different header, or simply by dragging the column titles. Once you're happy with the layout, it is time to print – holding down ALT, press the PRINT SCREEN button (usually found next to F12 on your keyboard). This has copied a screen dump to your Windows clipboard, and can be pasted either into Microsoft Word or Microsoft Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories). From there, you can print the image either as part of a Word document or on its own from Paint.Printing Folder Lists to WordAnother way to print the contents of a folder is to send them to a Word document. This is a remarkably simple yet effective method that gives great results. To begin, go to Start > Run and enter cmd to open the Command Prompt. In Windows Vista or later, use Start > enter cmd in the Search box. Next, browse to the folder you wish to see the contents of. For instance if you want to view the contents of the Windows folder on the C: drive, you would enter: cd c:\windows You can use the dir command to list other folders and switch to those using the cd command. When you're happy with the folder listing that appears on screen when you type dir and you're ready to output to a Word document, enter: dir > [filename].doc This will create a Word document within the folder that you have listed the contents of – change [filename] to your own, meaningful file name. You can also, if preferred, output the contents list to a text file, by entering: dir > [filename].txt Now available in .TXT or .DOC format, the folder contents are ready to be printed!

What a 'Legion Detachment' is made of
By Staff Sgt. Barbara Ospina
5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Public Affairs
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (USASOC News Service, Sept. 30, 2013) – A Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha is designed to be comprised of 12 highly trained Green Berets.
The team typically includes two of each specialty to include: weapons, engineering, medical, communications, and intelligence sergeants. The teams are led by a detachment commander, assistant detachment commander and a senior Special Forces team sergeant.
There are many skills and abilities that give Green Beret's their elite title, but one thing that is certain, is that Green Berets deploy all over the world as one of America's premier fighting forces in no more than 12-man elements relying on each other.
The 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), also known as The Legion, completed its second annual Best SFODA Competition on Sept. 10, 2013. The competition not only challenged each man to his fullest ability, but it challenged the overall team as well.
Four SFODAs volunteered for the competition, each representing their respective battalion, and competed to determine the "Best ODA" within 5th SFG (A). Each team was required to be team pure, meaning it had to be the team that trains, operates and fights together; no additions or substitutions of team members were permitted.
The men jumped approximately 1,500 feet from a CH-47 Chinook helicopter into a water drop- zone, marking the beginning of the challenge. Participating in a parachute jump may be standard training for a Green Beret, but that adrenaline rush was followed with an exercise that tested their minds and required them to use their unique language capability and speak fluent Arabic in order to progress. They threw a 50-pound ruck sack on their backs and ruck marched through the night, competing for the best time.
The teams participated in various stations designed to test their knowledge and current training as Green Berets to include: a stress shoot, mortar emplacement, a mystery event (hand to hand combat in urban terrain), an obstacle course, and a weapons pile test. Following certain stations, members from the teams were required to conduct a "commo shot," showing the team's communication ability from a remote or hostile environment.
This year's mystery event, entitled mystery because the teams are not given any information related to the event until they arrive at the station, consisted of a standard shoot house that simulated urban terrain with real role players simulating both innocent civilians and hostile enemy within the same structure. This forced the Soldiers to quickly transition from a friendly environment to a hostile environment; and forcing them to engage in hand to hand combat.
The second to last event was the recently constructed 5th SFG (A) obstacle course. The course consists of three full lanes of more than 20 simulated tough-man obstacles. This challenging event was strategically placed following the end of nearly 30 miles of ruck marching and mental and physical exhaustion forcing each man to demonstrate their inner strength.
Although there were less than ten overall events, the competition stretched more than 24 hours, providing the teams little to no sleep, and a challenged around every corner.
As the four detachments completed the last station, they had a sense of pride in completing the event, even though they would not know who would earn the title of "Best ODA" until the scores were calculated.
"The most important thing that we did was stay together," stated the team sergeant from the winning detachment. "We knew from the first event that no matter what we were finishing the competition together. Everyone on the team knew that and pushed each other to finish strong,"
Although each detachment demonstrated exceptional effort and the final standings were close Green Berets from 3rd Battalion, 5th SFG (A) placed first in the overall competition.
According to Command Sgt. Maj. Dwayne Cox, the command sergeant major for The Legion, the competition is not designed to destroy the Soldiers, it is designed to test their abilities as members of a team and build camaraderie and esprit de corps through friendly competition.
"We don't want to hurt them," commented Cox. "We want to challenge them."
Each detachment completed the challenge and endured a series of events designed to test their minds and bodies to the max, proving they exude the Special Operations Forces' Attributes.

John Legend Talks Hunter Hayes' Bluegrass Version of 'All of Me': 'I Was So Impressed With Him'
Hunter Hayes swings by the Samsung Galaxy Owner's Lounge during the 2014 Country Music Awards Festival on Friday afternoon (June 6) in Nashville, Tenn.
Earlier in the week, the 22-year-old musician shared the stage with Jennifer Nettles and John Legend to premiere their bluegrass version of John's song, "All of Me" at the CMT Music Awards.
"They asked me if I'd be interested in arranging a version of 'All of Me' for [Legend and Nettles]," Hunter dished to Rolling Stone Country. "John was like, 'I play piano a lot and I want to do something different.' So I got on the phone with him and he was talking about acoustics and I said, 'John, hear me out: What if we did a bluegrass version?' And he was all about it. He said, 'Man, try it. Let's have fun with it.'"
John shared about the new arrangement, "Hunter arranged the song so beautifully. I was so impressed with him. I think it's so gorgeous and a new way to present the song that everyone's heard a thousand times now."
Hunter added, "I'm really excited about it because it speaks to my heart. I get to hear a song that I love in a version that has the sonic characteristics that I love. It was a great opportunity for me. I got to produce John Legend and Jennifer Nettles! Hopefully it'll happen again. It was a brilliant experience."
The new version of "All of Me" is out NOW on iTunes!

There are basically two types of car accident reports. The first is the official police report, created when officers respond to an accident scene. The second is an unofficial report, created by one or more parties to the accident.
Due to the high number of car accidents, and the limited number of police officers available, police are seldom dispatched to non-injury car accidents. Therefore, it's always best to create your own unofficial accident report at the scene.
Police officers are dispatched to accident scenes when:
- Participants or bystanders have been injured
- The accident is blocking traffic
- One or more drivers are intoxicated
- Participants are being disruptive or fighting
Car Accidents with Injuries
If you're injured in a car accident, call 911. The dispatcher will ask you questions about the type and extent of your injuries. If she decides the injuries require paramedics, she will dispatch them to the scene, along with the police.
When police arrive at an accident scene, they first decide if anyone needs medical attention. If so, they'll radio for assistance. Their next step is to make sure the participants are out of danger, moving them away from traffic. They'll set out flares and cordon off the area, if necessary.
Assessing the Accident Scene
Police officers receive training in auto accident assessment. Once they secure the scene, officers will investigate the accident and its causes. Police don't normally create their official accident report at the scene. They use a worksheet, then later write-up the official report based on that.
Information police gather at the scene includes:
- Date, time, and location of the accident
- Personal information and statements from drivers, passengers, and witnesses
- Descriptions of injuries to drivers and passengers
- Detailed description of the cars involved: year, make, model, and color
- Officer's written narrative of the details and causes of the accident
- Officer's diagram of the accident scene and the point of impact
- Description of the at-fault driver's actions that caused the accident
- Weather and road conditions at the time of the accident
- Type and extent of property damage to the vehicles and their contents
- Contributing factors, such as speeding, non-working brake lights or turn signals, etc.
In addition, the police may take photographs of the scene and damage to the cars. They will conduct field sobriety tests if they think alcohol or drugs contributed to the accident, and make arrests for DUI, if necessary. Depending on their assessment of the accident and its causes, they may issue tickets to one or both drivers.
If any of the cars aren't drivable, the officer will call a towing company, either contracted with the city or designated by the drivers. Both drivers should get the service number of the police report. This is the reference number you will use when requesting a copy of the actual police accident report.
Once the scene is cleared, the police may drive to the hospital to follow up on more serious injuries sustained by drivers or passengers. When their follow-up is complete, the officers will return to the station and begin transferring the information from their worksheet to the official accident report.
The accident report can be confusing to a layman. Some items, such as roadway and weather conditions, may be shown as code numbers. Usually, the forms and their details are self-explanatory, but you may need to ask what some of the codes mean.
Three to five days after the accident, the formal police accident report should be complete. After being reviewed by the on-duty sergeant, it's available to the public. Most police departments charge a nominal fee for copies of the report.
The Police Report and Your Injury Claim
A few days after the accident, once a claim has been filed with the insurance company, a claims adjuster will begin collecting statements from you, their insured, the passengers, and any witnesses. Even though the police report may clearly show their insured was at fault, the adjuster still has to investigate the claim.
Police officers aren't infallible. A thorough investigation by a claims adjuster may uncover something the responding officer missed. But in most cases, the police accident report is the deciding document for determining fault. It's usually accepted by the adjuster as the most accurate assessment of the accident.
Police reports are very persuasive in personal injury claims. Unlike the adjuster, the police officer was actually at the scene of the accident. Their training enabled them to properly evaluate the accident and its causes, especially each driver's fault.
Claims adjusters can disagree with police officers, but they usually don't. If the adjuster disagrees with the officer's assessment, and the case ends up in court, there's a 90 percent chance the jury will rely on the officer's opinion. A police officer's testimony has automatic credibility with a jury.
When the Police Don't Assign Fault
Sometimes, police officers fail to assign fault in a car accident. When that occurs, the accident report may indicate:
- Adverse weather or faulty road conditions were the cause
- The accident resulted from an independent intervening force
When the police don't assign fault, you still may be able to convince the adjuster her insured caused the collision. You'll need some evidence that either contradicts the officer's assessment, or supplements and clarifies it.
By coming up with additional, non-contradictory evidence, you may have a better chance of persuading the adjuster her insured was at fault. If the claim goes to trial, you wouldn't necessarily have to contradict the police officer. Instead, your newfound evidence would only enhance his testimony.
Example: Gathering Additional Evidence
John was in a car accident and called the police. At the accident scene, the police didn't have an opportunity to speak to witnesses. John took it upon himself to speak with some people who saw the accident and stayed to help. He got a couple of statements, including names and contact information.
John told the adjuster he had new evidence in the form of witness statements. The statements directly accused the insured of texting on her cell phone right before the accident. This is direct proof that her negligent actions caused the collision.
Car Accidents without Injuries
Because the police probably won't be dispatched to a non-injury accident, it's up to you to create your own accident report. You'll need the report to help convince the claims adjuster their insured, and not you, caused the accident.
Download a free car accident report form here.
When filling out the report, you'll write a short narrative describing the accident and the events leading to it. Include the names and contact information of the other driver, passengers, and any witnesses. Be sure to get the other driver's insurance information. It's also helpful to draw a diagram of the accident scene.
Make sure you send a copy of the completed form to the at-fault party's claims adjuster. The adjuster won't pay your claim unless there's proof of her insured's negligence, and unfortunately, your unofficial car accident report won't be enough. But, because the at-fault driver will give the adjuster his own version of the accident, your report is necessary.

Multidistrict litigations are the consolidation of closely related lawsuits for pretrial efficiency.
(PRWEB) January 08, 2014
A federal court judge in West Virginia recently ordered a census of existing C.R. Bard Avaulta mesh lawsuits in his court, according to the Dec. 31, 2013, court order. The Rottenstein Law Group LLP, which maintains a vaginal mesh lawsuits website at http://www.vaginalmeshlawsuitcenter.net and represents clients in mesh lawsuits, explains the news.
Bard Avaulta lawsuits make up about 6,000 of the more than 40,000 vaginal mesh lawsuits pending in federal court in West Virginia before Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, according to court documents (In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation; MDL-2187, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia). Goodwin's order cited the sheer size of the multidistrict litigation as among the needs to periodically take an accounting of the body of suits.
"Multidistrict litigations are the consolidation of closely related lawsuits for pretrial efficiency," said Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the Rottenstein Law Group LLP. "A census can help ensure that the pretrial proceedings run as smoothly as possible."
Women are filing transvaginal mesh lawsuits alleging they suffered injuries from serious adverse side effects such as pain, discomfort and the erosion of the mesh implant, according to court documents.
At least two Bard bellwether trials had outcomes in which the plaintiff received compensation. In the first, on Aug. 15, 2013, a jury awarded plaintiff Donna Cisson about $2 million in damages, according to court documents (Cisson v. C. R. Bard, Inc., 2:11-cv-00195; U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia). In the second trial, which occurred in the same month, plaintiff Wanda Queen settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, according to court documents (Queen et al v. C. R. Bard, Inc., 2:11-cv-00012; U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia).
The Rottenstein Law Group LLP encourages women who believe they have suffered from the alleged side effects of their transvaginal mesh implants to visit the firm's FAQ page for quick answers to questions about lawsuits, settlements and side effects. For updates on lawsuit news, visit RLG's transvaginal mesh Facebook page.

Showcase: Completed Deathwatch Overkill Team
Ta-daaaa! Wow, what a labour of love that was. So much detail in all of these models. I pushed myself on these models and I'm really happy with them. Each one is what I would describe as 'character level' painting. That extra effort you put into your army general models. Over the moon with how they all turned out. I love the fact I made my own mark with them so they fit in with my army of the imperium. They have blue power weapons, lights and lenses. They all have red weapon casing as well. The blue steel arms match my Grey Knight Armour as well. My next post should be Stormcast Eternals so that'll be cool for a change of pace.
