Circassia's Hay Fever Treatment Improves Patients' Allergy Symptoms in Phase II Clinical Trial
Treatment Progresses into Final Phase II Clinical Study
Sep 27, 2011, 04:00 ET
OXFORD, England, September 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Circassia Ltd, a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on allergy, today announced positive phase II clinical results showing that its ToleroMune® hay fever vaccine substantially improved patients' allergy symptoms compared with those on placebo. The treatment was extremely well tolerated.
During the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study conducted in 50 hay fever sufferers in Quebec, Canada, patients received four doses from one of five different treatment regimes over a 12-week period. Five weeks later, investigators tested the patients' skin and eye responses to grass pollen. The results show that the treatment reduced allergic symptoms in patients' eyes by up to 30% more than placebo. In addition, the therapy improved early and late skin reactions by up to 54% and 19% above placebo respectively. The ToleroMune T-cell vaccine had a similar safety profile to placebo.
Following these results, Circassia has initiated the final phase II trial of its hay fever treatment. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study is underway in Kingston, Canada in 280 volunteers, and will assess the effectiveness of the ToleroMune T-cell vaccine at improving patients' nasal symptoms and eye responses when exposed to grass pollen in an exposure chamber.
"Achieving these clinical results is particularly encouraging as hay fever is an extremely common allergy, which can have a major impact on sufferers," said Steve Harris, Circassia's CEO. "Many current therapies provide short-term symptom relief only, while traditional immunotherapies can require specialist treatment over several years to address the underlying disease. Circassia's latest results follow earlier successful studies in a range of different allergies. Our clinical data show that Circassia's T-cell vaccines have the potential to revolutionise allergy therapy, and these recent results give us the confidence to proceed with the final phase II testing of our unique hay fever treatment."
About Circassia's allergy T-cell vaccines
Circassia is developing a range of allergy T-cell vaccines based on its proprietary ToleroMune® technology. The company has successfully completed a number of phase II studies with its cat, house dust mite, ragweed and grass allergy therapies. Clinical results show that short treatment regimes with Circassia's T-cell vaccines can greatly reduce patients' allergic responses, without the need for adjuvants or other immune stimulators, while proving extremely well tolerated. As a result, the treatments offer major potential clinical benefits compared with existing therapies, and have significant market opportunities. Over 150 million people suffer from allergic rhinitis in the US and Europe, and approximately 15% - 25% of people in these countries are sensitive to grass pollen. As a result, the current allergy treatment market is valued at approximately $12 billion per year.
About Circassia
Circassia was founded in 2006 by a team of highly experienced biotechnology scientists and entrepreneurs, and is chaired by the former Chairman of GlaxoSmithKline, Sir Richard Sykes. The company is based in the UK on the Oxford Science Park, and in Hamilton, Canada, where its joint venture Adiga Life Sciences is located. Its ToleroMune technology was developed originally by scientists at Imperial College, London. Having successfully completed four fundraising rounds, Circassia has raised approximately £93 million ($159 million) and is backed by a syndicate of world-class venture capital and institutional investors, including Imperial Innovations and Invesco Perpetual.

Hyderabad bids tearful farewell to Owaisi (Lead)September 30th, 2008 - 6:29 pm ICT by IANS
Hyderabad, Sep 30 (IANS) Thousands of people Tuesday bid a tearful adieu to veteran Muslim leader and president of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, who died here last night.Many were seen crying inconsolably as the senior parliamentarian was laid to rest with full state honours in his family graveyard near Darussalam, the MIM headquarters in the Aghapura neighbourhood.
Earlier, Namaz-e-Janaza or the last prayers were offered at the sprawling Darussalam grounds. More than 100,000 people attended the prayers led by Maulana Mufti Khaleel Ahmad, head of the Islamic university Jamia Nizamia.
Owaisi, who represented the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency from 1984 to 2004, died of prolonged illness Monday night. He was 76.
His three sons and other family members were trying to fight tears as the body was lowered into the grave. Thousands vied with one another to catch a last glimpse of the Salar-e-Millat or commander of the community, who virtually ruled the old city of Hyderabad for many years.
Earlier, slogans like "Allah-o-Akbar" and "Salar-e-Millat Zindabad" rent the air as the funeral procession inched towards the graveyard. It was a sea of humanity and police had a tough time in controlling the emotional mourners from reaching forward to touch the coffin.
A pall of gloom descended on the city as usually busy roads in the old city wore a deserted look. Black flags were pitched on the streets to mourn Owaisi's death. The Andhra Pradesh government had declared a holiday for all offices and educational institutions.
The hectic Eid shopping in the centuries-old markets around the historic Charminar came to a standstill Monday night as news of Owaisi's death spread.
The majority of the shops and hotels remained closed during the day Tuesday but were likely to re-open in the evening to enable people to shop for Eid, likely to be celebrated Wednesday.
Earlier in the morning, Owaisi's body was brought in a massive procession from his residence in Hyderguda to Darussalam, where politicians, officials, eminent citizens, MIM workers and others paid their last respects.
Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and several of his cabinet colleagues, leaders of many other political, social and religious organisations paid their respects to Owaisi and recalled his contribution to Andhra Pradesh, especially to Hyderabad, during his long political career spanning over half a century.
Congress party general secretary M. Veerappa Moily paid respects on behalf of party president Sonia Gandhi. The chief minister, who cut short his official visit to New Delhi to return to Hyderabad, laid a wreath on Owaisi's body and offered his condolences to the late leader's sons, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin and MIM floor leader in state legislative assembly Akbaruddin Owaisi.
US Consul General in Hyderabad Cornelis M. Keur and Iranian Consul General in Hyderabad Hossein Yazdan Moghadam were among the prominent personalities who attended the funeral.
Assembly Speaker K.R. Suresh Reddy, state Congress president D. Srinivas, CPI-M secretary B.V. Raghavulu and CPI secretary K. Narayana, Nava Telangana Praja Party president T. Devender Goud and senior leaders of Telugu Desam and Telangana Rashtra Samiti were among those who attended the funeral.
Film star-turned-politician and Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi visited Owaisi's residence in the morning and paid his respects.
"Owaisi was a powerful and a strong leader who strove to protect the culture and identity of Hyderabad and to solve the problems of the Muslim minority," Chiranjeevi said.
State leaders the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were conspicuous by their absence.
State Director General of Police S.S.P. Yadav and Hyderabad police commissioner B. Prasad Rao also laid wreaths on the body at Owaisi's residence and paid their respects.

The Fever
Mitchell wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to clear his mind for the next stage of his plan. It had taken longer than hed thought. He should have been there by now. Instead he had wandered through the jungle for two days, hallucinating, lost, attacked on all sides by that horrid green light as if trapped by an army of triffids. Whenever he lay down and looked up at the immense trees with their buttressed trunks crawling with aerial roots and the forks of their branches dotted with epiphytes, he sensed he had stumbled into a kind of overgrown prison complex, a new experiment in penal reform, monstrously landscaped by some demented designer. He would lay there for hours, sinking deeper and deeper into the lush green carpet of moss, convinced of the injustice of his incarceration, trying to determine his bearings from the lengthening shadows. He had heard about these institutions, located on islands or in dense jungle, a tyrants answer to political activists and dissidents. Too tired to move, he came to the conclusion that by some typical bureaucratic confusion he had been mistakenly consigned to the psychiatric wing, thrown into solitary confinement for subversion when his only crime was love. Those chortling men with their pressed camouflage uniforms and dangerous machetes had somehow tricked him. But he was innocent. He was the last surviving inmate in a long-forgotten work-camp, the victim of an insidious totalitarian response to his lone dissenting voice.
Mitchell tossed another branch onto the fire and huddled a little closer to the spluttering flames. The damp wood burnt slowly, giving little comfort to his shivering limbs. He had woken up yesterday morning with that familiar malarial sweat covering his face and could tell by the way every muscle ached that it was going to be a bad bout. But he had known worse times. This was nothing to those months he had spent crashing through the forest when she had first disappeared. He gazed into the flames, intent on gathering all the available heat from the pale fire.
He was keeping a sharp eye on those lianas and epiphytic ferns. He would keep them under observation for as long as it took. They irked him. They seemed to creep towards him. He had realised at last, that the foliage was sprouting from his mind, but as he looked at the bizarre large-leaved shapes he was unsure how much comfort he could draw from this discovery. Yet he was beginning to favour the heightened states he experienced in this reoccurring sickness. They seemed in some way more real than what usually passed for normality. And they brought with them an unmistakable lucidity; a way of seeing, a kind of pictorial language that could probe the darkest corner, uncovering new connections, constructing a series of windows from a seemingly haphazard assortment of events, creating an improbable synthesis from the unlikeliest material. More than anything, he enjoyed the fluid, rather random access it gave to those parts of his memory that he didnt normally explore.

|The Sentry by Harvey Dunn, National Archives P3752
As early as August of 1918, German General Ludendorff had told his staff that Germany could not win the war, and in late September, Generals Lundendorff and Hindenberg agreed that they must seek an armistice. The Kaiser was informed on September 30th, and on October 4th Germany contacted American president Woodrow Wilson, asking for terms based on his Fourteen Points. Turkey agreed to peace terms on October 30th, and Austria-Hungary sought an armistice on November 3rd, but the German delegation didn't meet to discuss an armistice with the French until late in the evening of November 7th. By now, rumors of peace were everywhere.
Many of the Allies' generals were not in favor of a negotiated peace; their armies were finally making gains, and they wished to pursue the fight, pushing their advantage to force Germany's unconditional surrender. In a railway carriage at Compiègne, the German delegation had very little room to negotiate and were forced to accept nearly all terms imposed by the Allies, including the provision that within 14 days, they would evacuate and return all occupied territory and cede their rights to Alsace-Lorraine. The Armistice was finally signed at 5:10 am on the morning of November 11th and took effect less than six hours later.
Along the Western Front, German troops celebrated the night of November 10th, shooting off flares and rockets. On the morning of November 11th, a radio broadcast from the Eiffel Tower at 5:40 am announced the upcoming peace, and London received the news before 6:00 that morning.
Although nearly everyone knew in advance that the war was over, even the most conservative estimates acknowledge that the casualties from both sides on the war's last day reached nearly 11,000. At least 2,738 men died on November 11th trying to take German positions that had already been ceded to the Allies. As historian Joseph E. Persico explains,
Putting these losses into perspective, in the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy, nearly twenty-six years later, the total losses were reported at 10,000 for all sides. Thus the total Armistice Day casualties were nearly 10 percent higher than those on D-Day. There was, however, a vast difference. The men storming the Normandy beaches were fighting for victory. Men dying on Armistice Day were fighting in a war already decided."*
It is nearly impossible to imagine the anxiety of the men who had survived and knew the end was only hours away. German soldier Georg Bücher had fought on the Western Front since 1914. He recalled,
It was all the harder for us since we knew the end could not be far off. We ducked at the sound of every explosion—which we had never bothered to do before. The old hands fought for the deepest, safest dug-outs and did not scruple to leave to the young recruits the hundred and one things which were risky….The thought of an attack was more terrifying to them than to the young soldiers who were still so inexperienced, so touchingly helpless, yet in spite of everything, so willing.**
American Lieutenant Harry Rennagel, writing to his family, remembered his unit's astonishment at learning they were to attack on that last morning. When a shell exploded near him at 10:55 a.m., he was spared, but discovered five of his "best men" had been hit:
One fatally injured, hole near heart, two seriously injured and the other two badly hurt. We took care of the injured men and then I knelt beside the lad whose eyes had such a look of sorrow that my eyes filled with tears.
"What is it old man?" I asked.
"Lieutenant, I'm going fast. Don't say I'll get better, you know different and this is a pretty unhappy time for me. You know we all expected things to cease to-day, so I wrote my girl, we were to be married when I returned, and my folks that I was safe and well and about my plans, and now by some order I am not going home."
A glance at my watch, 11.05. I looked away and when I looked back — he had gone for The Highest Reward. I can honestly tell you I cried and so did the rest.***
American General Robert Lee Bullard, commander of the Second Army, also remembered Armistice Day in his memoir:
I went early, with an aide, to near the front, to see the last of it, to hear the crack of the last guns in the greatest war of all ages. I stayed until 11:00 a.m., when, all being over, I returned to my headquarters, thoughtful and feeling lost.†
American Lieutenant Hilmar Baukhauge's poem "November Eleventh" describes, from the perspective of the men in the trenches, the moment the guns stopped firing.
November Eleventh
We stood up and we didn't say a word,
It felt just like when you have dropped your pack
After a hike, and straightened out your back
And seem just twice as light as any bird.
It felt just like when you have dropped your pack
After a hike, and straightened out your back
And seem just twice as light as any bird.
We stood up straight and, God! but it was good!
When you have crouched like that for months, to stand
Straight up and look right out toward No-Man's-Land
And feel the way you never thought you could.
When you have crouched like that for months, to stand
Straight up and look right out toward No-Man's-Land
And feel the way you never thought you could.
We saw the trenches on the other side
And Jerry, too, not making any fuss,
But prob'ly stupid-happy, just like us,
Nobody shot and no one tried to hide.
And Jerry, too, not making any fuss,
But prob'ly stupid-happy, just like us,
Nobody shot and no one tried to hide.
If you had listened then I guess you'd heard
A sort of sigh from everybody there,
But all we did was stand and stare and stare,
Just stare and stand and never say a word.
A sort of sigh from everybody there,
But all we did was stand and stare and stare,
Just stare and stand and never say a word.
—Hilmar R. Baukhage
Bells rang, fireworks exploded, whistles blew, and crowds cheered the news of peace in cities, towns, and villages around the world. Siegfried Sassoon, invalided out of the war, captures those celebrations of peace in his poem "Everyone Sang." But in the trenches, it was the silence that deafened after years of exploding shells and rattling machine guns. American artillery officer Captain Bob Casey wrote,
The silence is oppressive. It weighs in on one's eardrums. We have lived and had our being in din since we left the Forêt de la Reine. There seems to be something uncanny—unnatural in the all-enveloping lack of sound…. The air is full of half-forgotten sounds: the rustling of dead leaves, the organ tone of wind in the tree tops, whispers through the underbrush, lazy echoes of voices in the road…. it can't be true…We cannot comprehend the stillness.††
Captain Harry Truman (the future U.S. president) said, "It was so quiet it made me feel as I'd suddenly been deprived of my ability to hear,"° while Connell Albertine of the 26th Yankee Division remembered, "We ran out into No-Man's Land and stood there, stunned by the quiet, a quietness we had never before experienced."°°
Soldiers found it hard to celebrate the peace without remembering those who would never return home. British Lieutenant Patrick Campbell wrote,
I felt excited, and happy, but in an uncertain subdued way. I did not want to shout or to drink; there was nothing to drink anyway. I wanted to be with my friends, but none of those of my age were left in the brigade.°°°
It had been an indescribable war, and words were inadequate to describe its end. For many soldiers at the front, when the eleventh hour finally arrived, they could do nothing but stand and stare.

Bike sharing is an automated system that allows people to take and return bicycles for short trips. The bikes can be picked up from one location and returned to another.
Bike sharing is a self-service system. Customers simply step up to a pay box, swipe a payment card and a bike is unlocked electronically, ready to use. Customers can check out and return bikes at any bike station.
Initially, the city plans to deploy 3,000 bikes at 300 bike stations, with another 1,000 bikes and 100 stations added during the following 12 months.
The city plans to install stations near transit connections, shopping and business destinations, major cultural and tourist locations, and other places. You can suggest locations for stations on the CDOT bike share website.
The bikes and stations will be owned by the City of Chicago and managed by private vendor Alta Bike Share.
Chicago is planning the second largest bike-sharing system in the nation. It will generate hundreds of thousands of new bicycle trips per year. Many of these trips will replace car trips, reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. The increase in bicycling will help thousands of people get additional exercise, while also strengthening the vibrant street life that defines Chicago.
Bike-sharing services are intended for short trips within designated zones, and the service is priced to encourage trips less than 30 minutes. For longer bike rides we recommend daily bicycle rental from a service like Bike and Roll Chicago.
No. Helmets will not be provided at the bike-sharing stations. We recommend that users bring their own helmets.
For pricing information, please visit the CDOT bike share website. The city hasn't released this information yet, but as in other cities with bike-sharing programs, there will probably be different rates for annual, monthly, and one-day user options. During the time allotted for each pass, users typically get unlimited trips under 30 minutes.

The city plans to launch the bike share program in spring 2013, and is providing information about the program on its website. You can also join our mailing list to receive notifications about the program's launch and other details.

I'm taking a break from email and the news reader to spend some time with my family. But what a week to choose. Not only do I miss a Websphere user group session, I also miss out on a free Spring seminar in London. Gah!
See you in a bit.

Founder and Owner of Anahata Collaborative LLC
Lara Cornell
It all started when Lara decided the 9-5 wasn't for her anymore. She wanted to live and work on her own terms.
During her journey as an artist and wellness professional she was frustrated with working on her own, being torn in all different directions, and trying to fit her business into a box.
The times she enjoyed most in her professional development was collaborating with other creatives and wellness professionals. Designing unique workshops and ecourses, planning international retreats, painting, and just having coffee for a brainstorming session. When she was in this sort of environment the possibilities seemed endless and the ideas flowed easily for everyone involved. Being an entrepreneur can be incredibly lonely if you don't collaborate and have a community to support you.
Thus, the development of Anahata Collaborative LLC. This space is created specifically for local creatives and wellness professionals to learn from each other and grow their businesses. It's a magical space where art merges with wellness, and wellness merges with art.
Lara is obsessed with collaboration and community, and cannot wait to see what you have to bring to Anahata Collaborative.
Anahata Collaborative ran a campaign through iFundWomen.com to assist with creating and growing this unique art & wellness collaborative space for the community.
We can't do this on our own...it's a collaboration after all. Thank you to all our Gilded Hearts for your support during our campaign!

Custodian Data Centres, a data centre and network services provider, has announced that it has expanded its dark fibre routes into Digital Realty Sovereign House, Telecity Meridian Gate and Global Switch 2 (GS2) in London.
The new connections into London will mean the Kent-based data centre will be able to offer hybrid cloud solutions to its clients with connections into major providers including Google, Amazon and Microsoft. This further increases Custodian Data Centres ability to connect clients directly to almost anywhere in the world, with existing dark fibre routes into Telehouse North and Level 3 Goswell Road.
As Robert Williams, technical director, explains, "The continuous expansion of Custodian's network infrastructure is always driven by customer demand. Expanding our network into a new location is always a significant investment, but adding several new sites to our 'on-net' dark fibre infrastructure enables us to rapidly deliver new services to these locations.
Consequently, it then enables our customers to pick up connections quickly and easily to the services they need the most, without having to pull together multiple providers and separate contracts. If a customer needs a connection to their chosen cloud provider, it can now be simply delivered directly into their rack in Maidstone immediately."
Custodian Data Centres recently invested £4 million into opening a series of data rooms at its Kent facility. Availability for more than 1000 racks with diverse 'A' & 'B' feeds able to draw up to 64Amps have been made to ensure they remain the South East's independent, reliable and flexible data centre operator.

Training works!Posted: Updated:
Joon, our five-year-old female marmoset has a personality like no other.
She is extremely suspicious of everything, she can hold grudges forever if you do something to her she does not approve of, and she is very particular about what she eats. That being said, one can imagine the agony trying to medicate her when she is sick. Since she won't take medicine mixed with food, the general practice is to transport her to the ACC where she is physically restrained daily to administer her medicine. Joon had gotten to the point where if she saw somebody approaching her with something that remotely reminded her of medicine, she started foaming at the mouth, blowing tiny bubbles all over.
So, it was decided to train her to take medicine on cue, starting with offering diluted lemon water, then vinegar water and eventually putting bitter apple in her water to mimic the taste of different medications. She was rewarded for taking it with desirable food rewards. The big test came during mid May when she became very sick with a bacterial infection, lost over 100gms of her weight, hardly had any appetite and naturally refused any medicine that was offered. It was time to see if training would pay off or not. As she was lying on the branch, completely exhausted from heat and her illness, the trainer simply walked up to her and asked her to swallow the medicine which she did. From that point, she took her medicine every day without any problems.
Training pays off! It is time consuming and tiring but it makes a big difference in the animals' lives. Without medicine training, Joon would have had to be separated from her mate, taken to an unfamiliar and (for her) scary place (the hospital), kept in a tiny cage by herself for a long period of time, and physically restrained to receive her medicines. Needless to say, for everybody, the first option was better.

In the conclude, he'll adore what he will actually use working day-to-working day: There are two fantastic areas about acquiring a present: the original perception of acquiring the present, and then the ongoing, working day-to-working day use of it. Some items supply a fantastic original perception of "Wow!," but then they are left on the shelf or in the garage and rarely touched yet again. The variety of present he will truly enjoy is the 1 that he will actually use for months or several years to come – thinking of you every time he does.

They have a number of items to have and that can be a present option for gentlemen. So if you are deciding on for your male then these are the number of possibilities. Acquire properly.

Nikki Mudarris: 'Love & Hip Hop' Star's Sex Tape Leaks Online
It's a rule of the Internet: make a sex tape and it will probably end up online. Nikki Mudarris, star of 'Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood,' found this out the hard way, as a video of her and famed music producer, Mally Mall, getting down was leaked to the web!
Nikki Mudarris, 25, decided to put some extra "love" in Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. The reality television star couldn't leave the cameras off, not even while she got into bed with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Mally Mall, 38. The two made a sex tape and — you guessed it — it got leaked online!
Nikki and Mally's sex tape hit the Internet on Sept. 28, reports InFlexWeTrust.com. Supposedly, the two get it on while Future's music is reportedly playing in the background. Perhaps he's flattered by being Nikki and Mally's soundtrack? The video is definitely graphic and definitely not for anyone underage. If you're interested in watching this vid, click here (WARNING: NSFW & 18+) to see it.
For those asking "who?" right now, Mally Mall is a respected hip hop producer who has worked with such hip hop powerhouses like Snoop Dogg, Redman, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, The Game and many more. Nikki is the daughter of the man many consider to be "The Godfather of Burlesque," according to VH1. Her family has been involved in the nightclub adult entertainment industry for decades. She manages their establishments in both Las Vegas and Hollywood. On top of that, she has created a lingerie line, Nude By Nikki, putting her Business degree from USC to good use.
Nick and Mally may have made the video in celebration of their happy reunion. The two reportedly got back together in August, reports TMZ. Nikki and Mally broke up in July after an epic fight. Nikki reportedly showed up at Mally's home and allegedly flipped out on his dishes. She supposedly smashed over $30,000 worth of fine China, and law enforcement sources told TMZ that despite the cops showing up, Mally didn't press charges.
That wasn't the only time these two called it quits. Nikki and Mally broke up in May 2015. Mally reportedly appeared at a viewing party for the Floyd Mayweather — Manny Pacquiao fight. Mally's date for the evening was reportedly supposed to be Nikki, but he allegedly showed up with three different women!
Nikki was all Mally needed in the sex tape, apparently. We have to wonder how it got leaked? Yikes! Perhaps they need a better password on their iCloud account?
What do you think about Nikki and Mally's sex tape leaking to the Internet, HollywoodLifers?

Pleasure reading: Playboy's literary fiction
Metadata[+] Show full item record
This thesis analyzes short literary fiction published in Playboy magazine for the first two decades after its 1953 inception. Although Hugh Hefner's magazine was best known for its nude pictorials, its editorial mix also included journalistic features, politically progressive opinion writing and short stories from a staggering list of established fiction writers. This project confronts the central question of how literary fiction functioned in the context of Playboy culture and Hefner's agenda of consumerism, and this study reveals that these stories relied on an enduring emphasis on individualism to connect to emerging social impulses in the postwar period. After an introduction of the magazine's history and the Playboy philosophy of consumerism, this project analyzes stories from Charles Beaumont and James Thurber as defining narratives for a new incarnation of the American Dream following WWII. The second section examines Playboy's efforts to reformulate marriage in part through stories from Philip Roth, Irwin Shaw and John Updike. Finally, this project calls on fiction by Joyce Carol Oates and Vladimir Nabokov as indications of how Playboy's commitment to self-interest helped the once-subversive publication to assume a relatively conservative posture.

NEW YORK — A pair of real estate developers have reportedly inked a preliminary deal to acquire the infamous Hustler Club in Manhattan on 12th Avenue.
Developers Jack Guttman and Steve Schwartz plan to tear down the gentlemen's club and about seven other adjacent buildings to make way for a 240,000-square-foot office property, according to the New York Daily News.
But the plan to tear down the structure is awaiting an announcement to name the anchor tenant of the building, which is proposed to attract TV and film tenants. But once that's done, the strip club's days would be numbered.
The move to sell the Hustler Club comes after it was found the club owes more than $2.1 million in sales tax on $23.8 million worth of lap dances it sold between June 2006-November 2008.
A state high court decision involving Nite Moves, an adult cabaret, sealed the fate for the multimillion-dollar tax bill against the Hustler Club.
The New York's Division of Taxation, following an audit in 2005, said the admission charge and fees for private dances at Nite Moves should be subject to sales tax.
Later, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Nite Moves case, which would have settled whether dancing in strip clubs is art.

|Bühler, Bernhard; Keil, Günther M.; Weiland, Frank; Koszinowski, Ulrich H. (1990): Characterization of the murine cytomegalovirus early transcription unit e1 that is induced by immediate-early proteins. In: Journal of Virology, Vol. 64: S. 1907-1919
The regulation of murine cytomegalovirus early (E) gene expression was studied in the cell line B25, which is stably transfected with the immediate-early ie1/ie3 gene complex. Infection of B25 cells in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide resulted in the expression of some E genes, whereas for the expression of other E genes prior protein synthesis was still mandatory, thus showing differences in the expression requirements of individual E genes. Transcription unit e1, a member of the E genes induced by immediate-early products of the ie1/ie3 gene complex, was characterized. It is located between map units 0.709 and 0.721 of the genome of murine cytomegalovirus strain Smith. A 2.6-kilobase RNA specified in this region is spliced from three exons of 912, 177, and 1,007 or 1,020 nucleotides, which are separated by introns of 93 and 326 nucleotides. The second AUG located in the first exon 119 nucleotides downstream of the 5' cap site is followed by an open reading frame of 990 nucleotides. The predicted polypeptide of 330 amino acids has a calculated molecular mass of 36.4 kilodaltons. Transfection with e1 revealed three antigenically related proteins of 36, 37, and 38 kilodaltons; these proteins probably represent differently modified forms of the predicted protein. These three proteins are phosphorylated and are associated with intranuclear inclusion bodies. A 33-kilodalton protein also derived from e1 was identified as a product of nonspliced transcripts. Comparison of amino acid sequences revealed homology between the murine cytomegalovirus transcription unit e1 and a human cytomegalovirus E transcription unit.

A girl is infected with a sexually transmitted haunting in the horror film It Follows. After getting intimate one night with her new beau Hugh (Jake Weary), Jay (Maika Monroe) finds herself tied to a chair and told by Hugh that he passed along an infection and that "It" will start coming after Jay, until she passes it on herself (or dies). While initially excused as a sick case of sexual abuse, Jay soon finds herself being pursued by "It," who can take the form of anyone. With the help her friends, including sister Kelly (Lili Sepe) and best friend Paul (Keir Gilchrist), Jay desperately searches for a way to break this curse, before it is too late. Without a doubt, it can be said that It Follows has one of the more unique horror film premises. The film can be described as a mix between The Grudge and John Carpenter's Halloween, while also being a bit of a safe sex allegory. While the film does feature a few jump scares, mostly involving off-screen noises, the film uses the "Michael Myers approach" to build tension by having "It" steadily walk after Jay. While the sight of this malevolent presence is already quite terrifying, the horror is amplified by It Follow's excellent John Carpenter-eqsue synth score. While It Follows does deliver the frights, it is not a perfect film. There's quite a bit of downtime between the frightening sequences and I actually thought that the film peaked in the second act, with me not being completely satisfied with the climatic set piece. Also, I'm still left scratching my head why many of these "followers" are shown partially or fully naked, other than to relate to the film's STD theme and/or add some gratuitous nudity to the film. Either way, I thought that It Follows was a creepy little ghost story. 8 | LIKED IT Screenings:

From Lawrence, Kansas, USA:
Recently, a five year old child in our child care center was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and we are not getting much information from the parent other than we need to check her blood sugar at 10:00 am to see if she needs a snack. This morning when I checked, it was 97 mg/dl [5.4 mmol/L], so I did not give her a snack. Forty minutes later, she was sitting a looking tired, I checked it again and it had gone to 28 mg/dl [1.6 mmol/L]. I gave her apple juice with a graham cracker and she then seemed okay. I am getting very vague answers from the parent about what her food needs are. I have gotten her sugar free fruits, but all her mother tells me is she needs 4 to 5 carbohydrates at each meal. I am not comfortable and certainly do not want to do anything that would be harmful to the child. Are there guidelines that would apply across the board as to what we need to do for a child with type 1 diabetes?
Your e- mail presents an important question. First of all, a blood sugar of 28 mg/dl (1.6 mmol) is dangerously low. Had you not been observant and given this child juice and a cracker, she might have gone on to a seizure and even to some permanent damage. A normal blood sugar just a short while before suggests that the Regular insulin dose in the morning was inappropriately large for the 'carbs' in the meal. All of this also suggests that the mother is not very clear about the principles of blood sugar control which is in turn probably because she has not had enough instruction. This raises a number of issues which at this remove we can't be of much help with.
However, especially under these circumstances, you would be entitled to insist on a School Health Plan even if you are not Federally funded. This would specify your responsibilities much more exactly.
[Editor's comment: Please see: Diabetes Management at School. This on-line guide provides an outline for schools to use in designing a diabetes management program including a ample School Health Plan. The specific roles and actions that various staff need to perform are identified and supporting materials are included. Each page can be displayed in a format that is easy to print so you can use this as your diabetes management plan. SS]

Incorporating this career-based education experience into the AEL curriculum will enhance the students' value as they engage potential employers in their job search.
Vernon Hills, IL (PRWEB) February 01, 2017
Wonderlic, Inc. has announced that the Adult Education and Literacy Program (AEL) at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) was selected from a pool of 120 applicants as one of the five recipients of the Wonderlic scholarship for a Soft Skills Training Bootcamp. AEL will use the scholarship to help increase access to resources for the Program's diverse adult learners at EICC's three campuses and three satellite locations.
Scott Schneider, Dean of Adult Education at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, understands his learners' needs. "Skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, professionalism, critical thinking, and others are coveted by today's workforce leaders. Incorporating this career-based education experience into the AEL curriculum will enhance the students' value as they engage potential employers in their job search."
As part of the Program, learners will be pretested before training begins and then tested afterwards to measure improvement. Therefore, the application required EICC to explain how the Bootcamp would be integrated into their existing curriculum so that participants were sure to have a meaningful and valuable learning experience.
AEL plans to incorporate the Bootcamp into the curriculum as a guided instructional component, unless students have proven their ability to work independently. Yet no one in the Program is ever left "on their own." Each student is assigned a career navigator who assesses and advises the participant through each stage of their development, be it workforce or education-related.
At the end of each Bootcamp module, participants will have the opportunity to take an assessment to qualify for a digital badge, which can be used to demonstrate competency in each skill.
The Wonderlic Soft Skills Training Bootcamp modules include:
Interpersonal Skills
Nonverbal & Listening Skills
Problem Solving
Cultural Sensitivity
Critical Thinking
To find out more about the Wonderlic Soft Skills Training Bootcamp, contact Wonderlic's Competency-Based Solutions Team.

The following content is general information and all facts may not apply to all session types. Please see the session information and frequently asked questions of the specific type shoot you are interested in for the details of that type of shoot.
There are so many photographers in my area and many are cheaper. Why should I choose CPP?
You're absolutely right, there ARE many cheaper photographers out there! Many photographers take dozens of photos, drop minimal batch edits on the photos and provide clients with CDs, USB drives or digital downloads to all those dozens of photos. In the early days of CPP our business model was similar, in that we wanted to give our clients abundant product! We found that consistently over time the dozens of photos we provided were very overwhelming to our clients and often left them paralyzed in the process of culling through ALL those choices. With this high volume I found I could not devote the time to each photo that I craved to give them! Because of the time constraint on the large volume images were not realized to their full potential, and often our client's became stuck in the very first step – selecting favorites. You hire us for our skill and commitment to our art. CPP will take the very best of the best and provide you with ample photos that will wow you, each and every one! No difficult culling involved.
The time spent per client and per photo with these photographers will not compare to the attention CPP photos receive, and are not held to the same high artistic standards. Our photos are each treated as individual works of art and are subtly and expertly edited in a lengthy process one by one to the highest standards. We use not only our skill and experience with the camera, but also on the full development of the photos throughout the editing process. Each and every photo is truly a work of art worthy of sharing with generations to come.
Are digital files included in my session fee? Do you provide digital downloads?
While digital files are not included in your session fee, high resolution digital file with personal print release packages are available. I believe in having these precious files archived in your protection!! As a mom, backing up my own family photos is very important to me. Digital files are provided via download and the link will automatically be sent to you after your order with unlimited downloads. While I never encourage printing our photos though bargain consumer photo labs (it is amazing the degree to which a photo can be degraded!!) I DO encourage preserving these precious photos! Through your unlimited number of downloads included in a digital package you may store them on multiple computers and hard drives. The more the better!
Digital image packages and print and product costs may be viewed HERE.
*CPP goes to every length to keep the full large files of your purchased photos indefinitely, but is not guaranteed after 12 months.
*Exceptions in the case of event sessions and weddings, in which all digital files are included.
Can I show off my photos on Facebook?

Absolutely! I am more than happy to stop by your home and help you plan. As a matter of fact, this is a wonderful step toward tailoring your session for the specific uses you have for the photos. We can not only plan wall vignettes and groupings, but plan the shoot with it in mind. This is a free service I hope you will take advantage of! I am more than happy to do a short wardrobe consult while I am there.
How should I dress my children?
Avoid logos and very busy patterns such as strips and plaids, think simple and classic. Choose colors in the same tonal range, this way no single individual stands out. You might never go out in public wearing matching clothing, but trust me… the look works well for portraits! Choose 2 or three colors for your palette to sprinkle throughout the clothing and accessories. This way not every child wears the same main color, but includes the secondary colors to coordinate. Check out my Pinterest board "What to Wear" here for more suggestions: https://www.pinterest.com/cherrypickedpa/
Are clothing changes permitted?
Sure! As many changes permitted by session length.
What do I need to bring to the shoot?
Prior to the shoot, be sure you've completed your online paperwork, but no hard copy is required. If your children have favorite toys in their lives, feel free to bring those and we may add them to our shoot.
Are family pets permitted?
If you have a fairly well trained pet who is friendly, location permitting bring them if you wish! Please check with me first to discuss location rules and to plan for including your pet.
What time of day is best for shooting?
Early morning or approximately one hour before sunset are the best times for your session so we will try these times first. If mid day cannot be avoided this may influence location choices.
If I need to reschedule what do I do?
Please allow 24 hour prior to your session if at all possible. Sending a text message is the quickest way to get in touch with me at (678) 457-0988.
Since your sessions are pre-paid what happens if I can't make my session appointment or if the weather is bad? Will I lose my session fee?
No, absolutely not! Please let me know as soon as possible if there is an illness, family emergency or if you cannot make your appointment. We understand sometimes things happen. I am happy to reschedule! And if the weather is bad we will reschedule as well. I will work with you!
What happens if I don't like my images? Will I still be responsible for the minimum spending amount in my gallery?
Well, first of all you should know this has NEVER ever happened! CPP goes to every length to make sure our clients are thrilled with the results of their session. Please know we will do what it takes to leave you with images you can't WAIT to share, images you will truly cherish. Your satisfaction is the very top priority and we will make every effort to provide the photos you will cherish! Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are dissatisfied with your photos in any way I will happily offer you a complimentary re-shoot.
How much editing do you do to the photos? What is your editing style?
Every photo session is different; however generally, we edit out facial blemishes, whiten teeth just a bit, and correct minor issues like uneven skin tone. Upon request we are happy to offer subtle slimming or address any issues you bring to our attention.
Cameras are limited in that they can only expose for one light in a photo scene. Our photos are given richness and punch and subtly enhanced to reflect more what our eyes see, and assist the eye to the subjects in the photo. Sunsets and vibrant skies will be brought out, as well as seasonal tones and the natural beauty of the scene.
What is the best time of day to schedule a session?
For outdoor portraits, very early morning (starting no later than 9:00 a.m.) and late afternoon/early evening (up to an hour before sunset) provide the most flattering light. Midday sun is harsh and produces hard shadows, although if there is sufficient shade such as tree cover, we can shoot at any time of the day. Most importantly, let's try to choose a time of day when the kiddoss in the family are at their peak and will be well rested and fed beforehand.
Where will we take out photos? Can I choose the place?
The setting for your photos can be done wherever you choose. I have many suggestions for this but am always very happy to try new places such as parks, lakes, historical sites and public places (if permitted). So if your family has a great time at a favorite ice cream shop, let's do it there! If you met your honey in Piedmont Park, then let's go there! Or if you are big wine drinkers, let's meet at the winery! If your dog is a big part of your family let's find a park where he can play! It is always a favorite part of the session planning for me to find locations to personalize your session and bring our your own unique personality.

Print packages start at $125 and gallery wrapped canvas wall groupings start at $180. Clients can expect to spend $400-$1500 on your custom photography products. There is a minimum order requirement of $400.
Do you except payment plans?

Many people who want to lose weight or have cut down weight put it again because they cannot break away from their unhealthy habits. Hypnosis can be of great help here and can assist in building new healthy habits by working on a subconscious level thereby helping you achieve a state of mind where you can actually lose weight willingly. Hypnosis can help by allowing you to overcome unconscious obstacles which prevent you from losing weight and from keeping weight off after a successful diet. In short, Hypnosis can take one to a subliminal state and assist one to gain confidence, positive thinking and willpower thereby helping the individual to break any bad habits which may be contributing to your weight gain like snacking, overeating or eating unhealthy foods etc. Hypnosis combined with healthy eating and exercises could help you to lose more weight in addition to having a more relaxed and refreshed state of mind.

WENATCHEE, Wash. – More than 1.9 million fair-goers experienced a summer treat thanks to Stemilt Growers and Produce Exchange's Artisan Organics™ branded "fruit" stand, which was located at the Minnesota State Fair in late August and through Labor Day.
The annual fair is a big deal in the Midwest, so much that Stemilt saw it as a unique opportunity to showcase its tree-ripened organic summer fruits, including peaches and nectarines through a unique partnership with frequent fair vendor, Produce Exchange.
Roger Pepperl, Stemilt's marketing director felt that joining the festivities would be a unique and fun way to share Stemilt's world famous fruit.
"Peaches and nectarines scream summer and so does the Minnesota State Fair. What a great way to celebrate the last bits of the season than by adding in Stemilt Artisan Organics™ fruits with one of the largest state fairs in the country," states Pepperl. "And a fruit stand is such an unparalleled way to show off our products – it's definitely not our norm."
Stemilt's Artisan Organics™ peaches and nectarines are grown as 100% certified organic. Stemilt's organic crop comes from southeastern Washington State, where the arid climate is ideal for growing high quality, large-sized flavorful organic peaches and nectarines. Stemilt started farming organically back 1989, and took its entire peach and nectarine crop organic in 2009.
"Our Artisan Organics™ peaches and nectarines were crowd pleasers at the Minnesota State Fair. The flavorful, large in size fruits have beautiful coloring this season making them a real summer treat for fair-goers," states Pepperl.
The Minnesota State Fair ran from August 24 through September 4. The12 days were filled with food, fun and a whole lot of entertainment. Big names included Stevie Nicks, Toby Keith and comedian Jim Gaffigan. In 2016, the attendee record broke 2014's attendance with 1,943,719 fair-goers.
"The Minnesota State Fair is a huge event and we enjoyed sharing our products with everyone in that area," states Pepperl. "It was fun to see our fruit distributed in a new and unique way for this annual event that creates so much regional excitement."

The Dexter Mens SST Retro bowling shoe takes a classic retro look and pairs it with modern technology. This shoe features Dexter's total interchangeable sole construction which makes this shoe convertible for left hand or right hand bowlers and allows the bowler to customize their slide surface as well as their traction surface. This shoe is where comfort and performance and now retro styling come together to make one great shoe!
league play.
First pair I ordered was about a half size to big. And noticed less padding then my old Storm Blizzards. Got them exchanged for a size down.Second pair fit perfectly . Stiff at first but broke in quickly. Very stable footing with limited flex.My first pair of shoes with the interchangeable soles. And no issues with the sole peeling backOnly things I would like to see is an extra sole and heel and maybe get a black option for the shoes
Do not slide well. Now it's psychological. I think I'm going to stick at the line. I will wear them but more often opt for my less expensive shoes.
Great shoe. Stiff as hell at first. Wicked comfortable. Should've ordered a half size smaller.
Well made. I had the sst8s for a lot of years.
I like these shoes because you can adjust them to fit any approach conditions. There are very comfortable, and give you the feel of a good foundation on the approach. They are well worth the money.
Bowl on a league and they were comfortable right out of the box, true to size, wish they had come with different slides but great shoe for the price.
Like mentioned, they are stiff, even after wearing around the house for a couple of weeks. For me, it's the pushoff side. Team mate has had same pair since Sept. bowling twice per week and he thinks his are still that way
Wish they came with all the soles like the original SST.
Bought 2 different pairs and had to return them both as they do not run to normal male shoe sizes. First pair was mens size 11...actual size was mens 13. Second pair was size 10...actual size 11 1/2. Recommend trying them on before your buy or pay the extra to true size program from bowling.com to avoid additional fees if you have to return them
Thanks for asking your question! Once approved by our staff it will be posted here for others to answer. If you'd like to receive answers to your question via email enter your email address below.
Due to the time it takes to produce the Dexter Mens SST Retro Right Hand or Left Hand ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.

OCA in Hong Kong at EV seminar06 September 2016
Last week OCA visited Hong Kong as we were invited to an EV seminar at the Hong Kong Technical University hosted by LaPlace Electric. Jonel Timbergen was sent to introduce the Chinese EV market to OCPP and OCA.
The presentation went very well and several new companies are either likely to join OCA/OASIS or about to purchase the Compliancy Testing Tool. A subsidiary of LaPlace, EVMega was very interested to align forces and to form a Asian-scale partnership. Chargerlink, a large Chinese CPO/EMSP/manufacturer will help OCA to enter the Chinese market with OCPP and will introduce the standard to their influential Chinese customers and partners.
Should you have any questions regarding OCAs ambitions in China, please feel free to contact us.

As much as I'm all about breaking down barriers, and ditching eggs and dairy, I also keep a watchful eye on desserts of the past. Can the two be combined? I believe they can… I collect old cook books (and am lucky enough to have a couple that are 70+ years old), and look to the recipes of our amazing grandmother's and great-grandmother's for inspiration.
The dessert trend today seem to be all about glitz and glamour. Pretty to look at, but often with a coldness about them… and I'll just say it, sometimes all flair and no substance. Desserts that our grandmother's made may not have been as pretty, but they were warm and inviting. Like an edible hug… Dave keeps telling me that I have to kick it up a notch, and add more bling to my blog. But I'm not a trendy person and intend to stick to my grandma style. Eventually, people will come back to comfort desserts, and when they do, treats like Ginger Spiced Rice Pudding With Whiskey Raisins will be waiting for them.
Ginger Spiced Rice Pudding with Whiskey Raisins
Recipe Type: Dessert
Makes: 4 servings
adapted from Dave Lieberman
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Arborio Rice
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Coconut Milk (full fat, canned)
- 1 cup Almond Milk (or other plant milk)
- 1/4 cup lightly packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/8 tsp Ground Cardamom
- 1/8 tsp Ground Allspice
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 3 tbsp Whiskey
- 1 tbsp finely chopped Crystallized Ginger
At least 1 hour before making the pudding, soak the raisins in the whiskey… 1 hour is good, overnight is ideal.
In a saucepan, bring the water, oil, and salt to a boil. Add the rice and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low (as low as it will go), cover, and cook for about 15 minutes (the water will have been absorbed but the rice will still be al dente).
In a separate saucepan, bring the coconut milk, almond milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, and allspice to a simmer. Add the cooked rice, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until most of the milk has been absorb and the mixture starts to get thick (about 10 – 15 minutes), stirring occasionally .
Drain the remaining whiskey from the raisins and stir the raisins and crystallized ginger into the pudding.
Transfer the pudding to a large container and allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and chill in the refrigerator to set.
If desired, top with coconut whip and additional chopped crystallized ginger before serving.
note: as with most spiced desserts, the flavours improve when allowed to mingle overnight.

Leaders of the eurozone's four biggest economies gather in Rome Friday to thrash out ideas to tackle the debt crisis, with calls for the bloc's bailout fund to intervene on bond markets set to top the agenda.
The talks, which will also focus on efforts to kickstart much-needed growth in the eurozone's struggling economies, will set the stage for a crucial European Union summit in Brussels on June 28 and 29.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti will host German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for the talks at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT), with a news conference at 4:00 pm.
With the eurozone's relentless debt crisis threatening to engulf Spain and Italy and weighing down the global economy, Europe's leaders are under intense pressure to find solutions to the two-year-old crisis.
Monti has urged fellow European leaders to back a plan for the eurozone rescue fund — the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) — to ease pressure on struggling countries by buying their bonds on the secondary market.
Both Madrid and Rome have been hit with rocketing borrowing costs, despite a series of structural reform packages in Italy and a eurozone rescue loan of up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) in the works for Spain's stricken banks.
Italy's foreign ministry said Thursday that Paris and Madrid were open to the idea, but that Berlin still needed to be convinced.
The ministry also said the fund would need to be granted a banking licence to allow it to borrow from the European Central Bank.
European leaders last year enabled the EFSF and its permanent successor the European Stability Mechanism to buy sovereign bonds, but so far governments have not opted to do so.
A senior member of the ECB, Benoit Coeure, told the Financial Times on Thursday it was "mystery" why the tool was not being used, saying it would ease the "very severe strain" felt by Italy and Spain.
Merkel said this week there were "no concrete plans" for the EU bailout funds to buy the bonds of struggling countries, though it was "one of the options" being considered.
Friday's talks are also expected to look at refocusing eurozone economic policy on growth instead of austerity, with observers hoping Monti can act as a mediator between Paris and the bloc's pay-master Germany.
Hollande has proposed a 120 billion euro "growth pact" for the eurozone including a financial-transactions tax and infrastructure investments to boost job creation.
Funds for the pact would come from three sources: 55 billion euros from unused European structural funds, 60 billion euros raised by the European Investment Bank and 4.5 billion euros in project bonds for infrastructure works.
The idea of eurobonds — mutualising the bloc's sovereign debts — could also be on the table, but after an initial push Hollande appears to be backing away from the proposal amid fierce opposition from Berlin.
Paris has instead proposed "euro-bills" with short maturities and limited volumes.
While no concrete moves are expected on Friday, the four leaders will discuss broader efforts towards closer political integration, and the banking or financial union that economists see as essential to getting to the root of the debt crisis.
The United States, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank have all urged greater banking integration in Europe, as the debt crisis boomerangs from financial sectors to sovereigns.
After Thursday's talks between eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said Spain would formally request eurozone financial assistance on Friday.
Minister also agreed to send international creditors back to Greece for talks with the new government there.
The Luxembourg talks will widen on Friday with the inclusion of the finance ministers of Britain and other non-euro states for what is expected to be a tough fight over calls for a financial-transactions tax.

Nursing Inclusion & Outreach
The College of Nursing welcomes and values diversity in students, faculty, and staff. We believe a diverse learning community brings greater respect, understanding, and appreciation of the richness of human differences. We create a diverse learning environment both in the classroom and clinical setting through student networking and support groups, student recruitment and services, financial resources, community engaged learning, community partners, and diverse student clinical placement sites.
Student Networking and Support Groups
As of summer semester 2014, we are very excited to offer diversity support groups for all interested students. The undergraduate support group will be led by Lillian Tom-Orme, PhD RN. The graduate student support group will be led by Ana Sanchez Birkhead, PhD RN. The purpose of the support groups is to examine and embrace the multiple perspectives present in the College of Nursing.
Diversity means much more than racial, ethnic or cultural differences. It encompasses socio-economics, religion, politics, physical and emotional challenges, gender, language, family and lifestyle backgrounds. Our goals are to support students whose differences may present particular barriers or challenges and to ensure students that their unique diverse backgrounds are appreciated, welcome and add to the richness of the learning environment.
For more information about dates and times please contact us.
