If you ever have wondered how to call a handlebars helper from another handlebars helper but were unsure how to, then fret no more.
In case you do not know, handlebars is the templating language of choice for the ember.js client side mv* framework. One of the really great things about handlebars is that it is logic free and you cannot litter your templates with gargantuan expressions. We have all been guilty of this with rails erb, haml, jsp, asp, asp.net or whatever and let ye without guilt cast the first stone. Handlebars is the perfect antidote to this simple but very complex erb templating code below:
I came to ember from backbone and I found this logicless approach quite limiting at first but I have grown to love it. It really does make your templates a hell of a lot cleaner and even if you do get tempted to stray from the chosen path, there is not much you can do apart from create a handlebars helper.
If you are familiar with ember then you will have used handlebars helpers extensively and perhaps even without knowing it, for example you have probably used the view helper to insert new instances of a particular view into a template like this:
You might also have used the #if, #unless or #each block helpers. You can also create your own helpers that are evaluated in the context of a handlebars template. In the example I am going to show below, I want to call a helper and pass in a model that contains an image property, the helper will contain all the logic for generating the correct img element for a particular model instance. This logic will also generate a default img if the image property of this model instance has not been defined. Below is a simplified version of how I would call the helper from a template:
This exerciseImage helper is being called in an each block that is iterating over the model of an ArrayController. The ArrayController is made up of exercise model instances and the this on line 3 of the above gist is the current exercise model instance of the iteration loop.
The logic I want to capture is this
- If the model has an image property then I want to display it.
- If the model has no image property then I want to display the relevant image for that exercise group (e.g. abs, arms, legs, back).
- A group is a belongsTo property of the exercise.
I already have a helper that takes a group model and displays the correct image and I want to display the group image if no image exists for that exercise model. In other words, I want to call the existing helper from the new helper. The group image handlebars helper looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
- On line 1 we are registering the helper as a bound helper with the registerBoundHelper method. This means that changes to the bound model will invoke the helper again and the relevant part of the template will get re-rendered again. I think you will agree that this is pretty damn powerful.
- On line 3, we simply pull the name field of the model and use it to generate the correct image src on line 7.
Below is the handlebars helper for an exercise model instance that will make use of the helper listed above. If the exercise model instance that is the context when this helper is called has no image property, i.e. the user has not supplied one, I want to default to the exercise's group image. Below is the code that enables this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
- On line 4, I test whether a valid image property was retrieved from the model.
- On line 5, I create a new set of arguments from the original set that ignores the first argument. The first argument would be the exercise model instance and we do not want to pass that to the groupIcon helper.
- On line 6, I push to the front of the new arguments array, the string path to the group model from the current context which is the exercise model instance.
- The reason I am pushing the string path as the first argument is because we are simulating how this helper would be called when directly calling it from a handlebars template like this:
- The runtime is expecting a path to some property of the context which in this case is group property of the exercise model instance.
- On line 7, the javascript function object's apply method is used:
apply is used to ensure that the method call is made with the correct context and with the newly constructed set of arguments that we created with the string path to the group as the first element.
You can also use this technique to apply a layer of indirection to an existing handlebars helper which can be useful to intercept the call and apply some decoration or whatever.

London: Arsenal defender Johan Djourou could return in a month after fears that his shoulder injury would keep him out for the season were proved unfounded following surgery.
"There isn`t a need for reconstructive surgery and he will now begin a period of rehabilitation on the shoulder before returning to training in around a month," the London club said on their website on Tuesday.
The Swiss international dislocated his shoulder in this month`s 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester United. Play was held up for more than five minutes while he was given oxygen before being carried off on a stretcher.

An allegorical novel that follows the spiritual journey of an Indian man called Siddhartha during the time of Buddha (6th century B.C.). Beginning with the main character's departure from his Brahmin home the search for enlightenment takes Siddhartha through a series of changes and realizations.
ed, unsown cloak. He ate only once a day, and never something cooked. He fasted for fifteen days. He fasted for twenty-eight days. The flesh waned from his thighs and cheeks. Feverish dreams flickered from his enlarged eyes, long nails grew slowly on his parched fingers and a dry, shaggy beard grew on his chin. His glance turned to icy when he encountered women; his mouth twitched with contempt, when he walked through a city of nicely dressed people. He saw merchants trading, princes hunting, mourners wailing for their dead, whores offering themselves, physicians trying to help the sick, priests determining the most suitable day for seeding, lovers loving, mothers nursing their children--and all of this was not worthy of one look from his eye, it all lied, it all stank, it all stank of lies, it all pretended to be meaningful and joyful and beautiful, and it all was just concealed putrefaction. The world tasted bitter. Life was torture.
A goal stood before Siddhartha, a single goal: to become empty,
Hess hits the nail on the head.
For all the confused people: this is not a story on the perhaps most widely known Siddhartha, the Buddha.
This is another person with the same name. Gautama in the story is the Siddhartha y'all are talking about.
quote from below says
"TOTALY WRONG. He was born in Nepal in Lumbini, and he "
Thought it said it was an "allegorical" novel. Thought that meant it was metaphorical in nature.
I have been highly recommended by one of the book lover about this book and very amazed to found a brief information about Siddhartha which absolutely not right. which I accept that the author might be misguided but still wonder whether the author has made any excuses yet after knowing the facts!!!
Okay, first off all the whole story on this book about siddhartha is wrong............. TOTALY WRONG. He was born in Nepal in Lumbini, and he was the prince of Lumbini at that time............. and he was not son of any BRAHMAN. He was son of Shakya "which means current Shrestha" I think writer have to go to the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautam Buddha and consider rewriting the book again.
best . . .
no words to say about this book
Tremendous work by author.Hermann Hesse is a genius writer...
One of the greatest works of fiction of all time written by the greatest author of his time. I have read Siddhartha four times and like Maugham's Razors Edge it is impossible to read it too often. There is not a sufficiency of superlatives in the authors native German or in our language to describe or accurately praise Hesse or his work.
Those of you who have never read this exceptional book do yourselves a favor and commence doing so now. If there is one word which describes Siddhartha it is ennobling.
This is one of the best books that i know, I like the way that explain the human desire to known itself...
Beautiful book, couldnt have captured the inner thirst better and more concisely than this. Loved it.
This is the best human work i have ever read.
uhhhhh this book is okay i kind of like it...it is very simple but the beginning is kind of boring...im reading it in my High School (Sophmore Requirement Book). It's nothing like what i usually read but im just trying to bare with it. The middle is kind of good though =]
This is a very good book. It is different from the teachings of Gotama Buddha, but has relevance to many people's lives.
I really enjoyed this enlighted book.
Truly one of the most influential books I have ever read. I return to it every few years, not because the book has changed but because I have.
Probably one of the greatest story you can read. Its language simple yet thoughts provoked profound.
Hesse captured an essence of Buddhism in a mortal's quest for salvation. Taking a leaf from Buddha's life and philosophy, the character Siddhartha's worldly odyssey led eventually to his spiritual discernment of reality, the nature of life and true happiness.
The English version is flawless. Unruffled reading with subtle imageries. Inspirational.
this is a great novel by Herman Hesse. The author takes us back in time and decoratively describes the journey of a young man to salvation, the path of which is unique to each individual.
Good short book. Very simple (almost Biblical) language. An easy read, and has a good message. Highly recommended (for non-German speakers). NJD
I still prefer the original..
An allegorical novel which deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian man called Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.
The book was originally written in German, using simple, powerful and lyrical language. First published in 1922 after Hesse had spent some time in India, it became quite influential during the 1960s.
"Siddhartha" means "he who has attained his goals". The full name of the Buddha was Siddhartha Gautama.

Saranac Lake High School
The Saranac Lake Central School District may change its email system from Microsoft to Gmail in the coming year.
District computer coordinator Caroleigh Meserole gave School Board members a presentation on the email conversion at their March 21 meeting in the Petrova library.
"This is a big deal," Meserole said. "I think we'll benefit from it. I think the students will benefit from it mostly."
The school district currently uses Microsoft Exchange 2003 software, and it is faced with upgrading to the 2010 version. That would be a lot more expensive than switching to Gmail — Google Mail and Google Docs — which is widely used throughout the U.S. and by about 600 school districts in New York state.
Meserole cited two reasons for choosing Gmail: cost and ease of use. She recently saw a demonstration of the Gmail software.
"We were thoroughly impressed," she said.
The conversion from Microsoft to Gmail would cost about $7,000, and Assistant Superintendent for Business Dan Bower said that would be reflected in an updated version of the budget once School Board members approve the switch. That's a one-time cost; otherwise, Gmail is free.
With Gmail, the district would not have to update software, as they currently have to do with Microsoft; Google takes care of that. It would cost $4,325 a year with the Microsoft email system.
Students would each have 25 GB of memory in their Gmail accounts and an additional 1 GB of memory using Google Docs. They would also be able to use the Google calendar, which is part of the package. Plus, Gmail synchs with smart phones and iPads, so that is a plus, according to Meserole.
While the district would continue to maintain servers, Gmail users would essentially have their work online, in "the cloud," as technology experts call it.
"When students have documents in the cloud … we can take advantage of scanning to PC," Meserole said, adding that the conversion would save space on the district's server.
Switching to Gmail would also standardize the user experience for all students, as not all students have Microsoft products at home. With Gmail, they can check their email from anywhere they get an Internet connection.
"Wherever they go, the documents will be," Meserole said.
Contemplating an email conversion is not without worry.
"Security, that's a big question," Meserole said. "I have faith that they will keep it private."
Gmail features spam control and encryption for security purposes.
"It's hard to keep up with the spam," Meserole said, adding that with Gmail, spam is almost non-existent.
Meserole told board members that she will follow up on Gmail references from other school districts and report back to them at a future meeting.
Budget process
School Board members are getting closer to making a decision on the 2012-13 district spending plan and could adopt it on April 17 after the spring break.
Bower presented board members with a possible way to trim $1.4 million in order to stay within the state-mandated tax levy cap. The district aims to stay within the maximum allowable tax levy increase — $392,693 — above the current tax levy of $18,295,387.
At this stage in the budget process, there is an estimated $28,394,257 in expenses for 2012-13 and an estimated $26,749,049 in revenue, including a tax levy of $18,688,080. That means school officials are left with a $1,445,178 revenue shortfall.
There are a number of ways Bower plans to close that gap. The following cuts would realize a $783,000 savings.
•Attempt to eliminate positions without layoffs where possible.
•Health insurance rates are lower than expected.
•Eliminate UPK mid-day transportation.
•Reduce field trips.
•Eliminate one business office clerical position.
•Eliminate indoor track cut.
•Reduce in-house projects.
•Reduce facilities substitute budget by 50 percent.
•Revise the amount budgeted for special education purchases.
•Don't replace five positions held by people who are retiring or have resigned. The district has received 17 notices thus far.
There could be another $228,000 in savings by eliminating additional positions where people are retiring or resigning (of the 17 people mentioned above); and by considering further reductions in programs without creating layoffs.
There is also potential for $360,000 in additional revenue, according to Bower. If the district can save money in the current budget, that may be able to be rolled over as part of the fund balance.
"We're still trying to save every cent," Bower said.
The district is negotiating contracts and could find savings there. Plus, there may be extra state aid.
"How much is in question," Bower said.
The school district has until April 20 to adopt a budget. The School Board meets again on April 17.

Dr. Jeffrey Gurock on Maccabee sports teams (link):
The most famous figures of the Chanukah story, the mythic Maccabees, have been appropriated as symbols of Jewish sport -- no small irony considering the Maccabees rebelled against the worship of athletic prowess that characterized Hellenistic civilization...
Jeffrey Gurock, a history professor at Yeshiva University and author of a book about Judaism's encounter with sports, says that sports teams should more aptly be called the "anti-Maccabees." The shift in thinking about the Maccabees, Gurock said, is linked to the Zionist thinker Max Nordau, who sought figures in Jewish history as models for what he called "muscular Judaism."
"It was an appropriation of a particular moment in ancient Jewish history that's revived and used in modern times," Gurock sad. "Jews were fighters in the ancient world. And they want to go back to this image of Jews."

The Moto G has been upgraded to include 4G LTE connectivity instead of 3G, while the rumored Moto E has been unveiled as an even cheaper entry-level option with slightly lower specifications to the Moto G, but still manages to offer a considerable list of specifications for the price. Motorola Moto E The Moto E looks to be similar to the Moto X and Moto G in general design, with a Gorilla Glass-protected 4.3-inch 960x540-resolution display. Inside is a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor with 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage expandable by microSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a rear-mounted 5-megapixel camera.

All over the internet, animals are trying to predict the Super Bowl winner.
April the Giraffe preferred her Patriots lettuce. On late night TV, Jimmy Fallon had a bunch of puppies make their predictions. (Once again, it went to New England).
READ: April the Giraffe Thinks This Team Will Win the Super Bowl
On Friday "The Morning Wakeup" on 98.3 LNH held its own "puppy pick" with the help of Hanna, a 7-year-old lab/pitbull mix up for adoption at the Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County. She picked Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl (If you believe in that sort of thing). You can watch her make her pick in the video at the top of this article and learn more about her here.
However, the real winner will be you when you adopt a pet from your local shelter.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, each year 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the U.S. simply because too many enter into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet. The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. Plus, a shelter pet is 57 percent better to watch your favorite sporting event with! OK, that last statistic might not be factual, but shelter pets make great companions! Adopt a shelter pet today and go Pats!
"The Morning Wakeup" with Nazzy and Tara airs 6-10 a.m. Monday-Friday on 98.3 LNH.


text: Decay theory proposes that memory fades due to the mere passage of time. Information is therefore less available for later retrieval as time passes and memory, as well as memory strength, wears away. When we learn something new, a neurochemical "memory trace" is created. However, over time this trace slowly disintegrates. Actively rehearsing information is believed to be a major factor counteracting this temporal decline. It is widely believed that neurons die off gradually as we age, yet some older memories can be stronger than most recent memories. Thus, decay theory mostly affects the short-term memory system, meaning that older memories (in long-term memory) are often more resistant to shocks or physical attacks on the brain. It is also thought that the passage of time alone cannot cause forgetting, and that Decay Theory must also take into account some processes that occur as more time passes.

PMC Announces 12Gb/s Adaptec Series 8 SAS RAID Adapters
PMC today introduced the Adaptec Series 8, a new family of 12Gb/s SAS RAID adapters which feature an end-to-end PMC architecture which incorporates PMC's I/O protocol controllers, RAID-on-Chip (RoC) controllers, SAS expanders, Solid State Drive (SSD) controllers, and software. According to PMC, the Adaptec Series 8 improves on the performance of its previous generation of adaptors by 60 percent, exceeding 700,000 4k random read RAID IOPS.
The Adaptec Series 8 family is composed of five low-profile PCIe 3.0 models which are built around PMC 12Gb/s SAS RoC controllers as well as a backup module. Four of the five adapters provide 16-port connectivity, which doubles the current standard for number of SAS ports and dramatically increases the range of storage arrays which can be assembled.
Adaptec Series 8 Family
- ASR-81605ZQ: 16-port low-profile with maxCache Plus and embedded Zero Maintenance Cache Protection
- ASR-8885:16-port low-profile with maxCache Plus
- ASR-8885: 16-port (8 internal, 8 external) low profile
- ASR-8805: 8-port internal low profile
- ASR-8885E: Entry16-port (8 internal, 8 external) low profile
- AFM-700 Kit: SuperCap Flash Back-up Module
Adaptec's maxCachePlus caching solution will allow Series 8 customers to integrate all storage devices into a caching tier regardless of whether connected to PMC hardware, or whether the drive is an SSD or HDD. New 12Gb/s SAS infrastructure is backwards-compatible with 6Gb/s SAS, and PMC also offers Adaptec-branded 6Gb/s and 12Gb/s HD mini-SAS cables for connecting existing storage to the Series 8 adapters.
Adaptec Series 8 RAID adapters will be available in Q4 2013.

In my last entry I took a look at unit testing the classes of a simple Presentation Model application. In this entry I'm going to turn my attention to a functionally-identical Supervising Presenter application. If you cast your mind back to my original investigation of these patterns you'll remember that the main difference between Presentation Model and Supervising Presenter is that the former extracts both state and logic from the view whereas the latter only extracts logic. So in order to receive user events and manipulate view state in response to these events, supervising presenters maintain a reference to their corresponding view.
The first challenge when unit testing supervising presenters is the dependency they have on the view. Since I am trying to follow a strict unit testing strategy, I want my supervising presenters to be tested independently of other classes, including view classes. So I need to find some way to isolate my presenters from their corresponding views. Besides this unit-testing purism, there are other reasons for isolating my tests from the view:
- Views are generally relatively slow to instantiate and require a disproportionate amount of resources. Having to create views in order to test classes that depend on them may slow down the running of my test suites.
- Animation, deferred instantiaion and modal behaviour could make unit testing challenging.
There are probably many ways to decouple presenters from views, but I've decided to follow Martin Fowler's suggestion of creating a "Gateway" between the view and the presenter. Each gateway will have two responsibilities:
- Act as a facade for a view. Presenters will access and manipulate the view via the facade.
- Observe the view for user events and invoke operations on the presenter.
Each view-dependent gateway will implement an interface to allow it to be substituted with a view-independent stub class for use during testing. This UML diagram illustrates the impact of the gateway approach on the original design.
The second challenge is the collaborative relationship between supervising presenters. In order to isolate one supervising presenter from another I'm going to use the factory method approach described in my previous entry.
Unit testing AlbumFormPresenter
The presenter for AlbumForm does not collaborate with any other presenter objects, but I do need to create a gateway class in order to isolate it from the view. I had to make a few changes to the architecture in order to slot in my gateway, and the end result is a gateway object between the view and the presenter called AlbumFormGateway. This gateway class implements the interface IAlbumFormGateway, so that it can be replaced with a test double called StubAlbumFormGateway. The test double does not require the real view, and the AlbumFormPresenter does not differentiate between the real gateway and the stub gateway because they both implement the same interface. So now I can unit test my AlbumFormPresenter class without needing an instance of AlbumForm.
Unit testing AlbumBrowserPresenter
I also need to create a gateway object for AlbumBrowserPresenter to decouple it from the corresponding view class. This is achieved in precisely the same way as for AlbumFormPresenter. So I've added an AlbumPresenterGateway, IAlbumPresenterGateway and StubAlbumPresenterGateway.
In addition to creating the gateway class, I also need to isolate the functionality of AlbumBrowserPresenter from AlbumFormPresenter. If you recall from my previous entry, a similar relationship existed between the AlbumBrowser and AlbumForm presentation models. So I'm applying the same factory method approach approach to allow the real AlbumFormPresenter to be replaced by a stub. The result is a new interface IAlbumFormPresenter, and a new stub class StubAlbumFormPresenter.
A further complexity for AlbumBrowserPresenter is the dependency it has on the PopUpManager. Rather than stub the PopUpManager class I have placed it on the 'view-side' of the gateway; so the presenter displays the pop-up by calling a method on the gateway.
Unit testing Album
Unlike the Presentation Model applicaton, the Album VO in the Supervising Presenter example doesn't have any methods, so it doesn't need to be tested. Or does it?
In order for my application to work the Album VO class does need to do one very important job: It needs to support binding. Should I write unit tests for bindability? Well strictly speaking I should, and perhaps I could use Tom's EventfulTestCase for this. But I think I'll look more closely at this another day.
Unit testing AlbumDelegate
As with the Presentation Model example, I'm not testing this class.
Example Application
The unit tested version of the supervising presenter demo application is available here; right-click to view the source. The test runner for the unit tests is available here.
The supervising presenter's view dependency does make unit testing more challenging. The gateway approach appears to be a robust strategy for isolating supervising presenters from views, but it comes at a price. The gateway layer adds extra complexity to the application, and the gateways themselves cannot be unit-tested because they still have dependencies on views.
Further work
After going to the trouble of creating gateways I'm left wondering whether it would be simpler to create test doubles for my actual view classes and dispense with gateways altogether. To do this I would have to extract an interface for each view and then create standalone test doubles that contain identical framework controls. For this to work I would also need to find some way to create fake framework events for my presenters to respond to. I'm not going to attempt this because I now want to turn my attention to unit testing autonomous views.

Stop Everything: These Gorgeous Couture Gowns Are Breathtaking
From Chanel's extravagant show inside the Grand Palais to the impeccably dressed attendees, the Fall 2017 haute couture season in Paris is giving us a slew of incredible fashion moments. So far, the most eye-catching looks by far have been the stunning gowns that made their way down the runways at shows like Jean Paul Gaultier, Giorgio Armani Privé, and Elie Saab (to name a few).
Two American fashion houses also made their debut appearances: Rodarte and Proenza Schouler showed their respective Spring 2018 ready-to-wear collections, and the dreamy looks, while not technically couture, were just as gorgeous. Highlights from the week's shows included the unexpected gray tones spotted at Christian Dior, a polarizing yet cool mix of white tights and white shoes at Valentino, and, of course, the breathtaking gowns at Giambattista Valli that are begging for a red carpet moment. While there was no shortage of dress inspiration to last us until next couture season, we've rounded up our top picks.
Feast your eyes on the most beautiful gowns of Paris Haute Couture week.

Summer 2011 Kids' Next List
"What an exciting ride this book is! The first in a four part series, Relic Master chronicles the journey of Galen and his apprentice Raffi, outlawed keepers of a demolished Order, who travel to the once great city of Tasceron to both restore Galen's power and bring hope to the scattered remains of the Order. Joined by a young spy from the governing Watch and a member of the curious Sekoi tribe, they must combat terrifying monsters - and their own self-doubt - if they hope to release their world from the dark grip of the Watch. This is a promising start to a great new adventure!"
— Amanda Hurley, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL
Welcome to Anara, a world mysteriously crumbling to devastation, where nothing is what it seems: Ancient relics emit technologically advanced powers, members of the old Order are hunted by the governing Watch yet revered by the people, and the great energy that connects all seems to also be destroying all. The only hope for the world lies in Galen, a man of the old Order and a Keeper of relics, and his sixteen-year-old apprentice, Raffi. They know of a secret relic with great power that has been hidden for centuries. As they search for it, they will be tested beyond their limits. For there are monsters-some human, some not-that also want the relic's power and will stop at nothing to get it.

The BMA welcomes the Education Subcommittee's
examination of the expenditure, administration and policy of the
Department for Education and Employment and the decision to examine
issues relating to the retention of students in higher education.
More than 12,000 medical students from the 24 UK medical schools
choose to join the BMA, and the BMA believes that, given the length,
structure and cost of studying medicine at undergraduate level
and the direct link between medical students and the future workforce
of the NHS, medical students are a unique component of the higher
education student population. It is our view, therefore, that
issues relating to the retention of medical students are sufficiently
distinct to warrant separate consideration.
Retention Of Medical Students
The generally accepted figure for the rate of
attrition amongst medical students is in the region of 10 per
although some sources suggest figures of between 11.7 per cent
and 14 per cent.[42]
It is accepted that the majority of students who prematurely exit
the course do so for non-academic reasons.[43]
Many of the factors influencing the drop out rate will be shared
by students of other disciplines although a large number will
be unique to, or exacerbated by, the experience of studying medicine
at undergraduate level.
Selection for Entry to Medical School
Given that a degree in medicine entitles graduates
to be provisionally registered by the GMC, selection for entry
to medical school is taken to mean selection for entry to the
medical profession[44]
and prospective students are assumed to be making a career choice.
For a myriad of reasons, entry to medical school is very competitive,
the ratio of applications to acceptance being in the region of
and the required entry grades at A-level are universally high.
Medical schools select students whom they feel
will be academically able to cope with the course, although the
overriding objective is to ensure that prospective students are
equipped with the necessary skills and attributes for a career
in medicine and are sufficiently committed to entering the profession.
Prospective students are expected to have very positive reasons
for wishing to study medicine and are generally encouraged to
undertake work experience in hospitals or other settings in order
to gain experience of clinical practice and thereby improve their
chances of being selected for medical school. The undergraduate
course is primarily viewed by prospective entrants as a route
into the medical profession rather than simply an academic discipline.
It is arguable that, in spite of efforts by medical schools to
ensure that applicants are suited to medicine, a significant factor
influencing students' decisions not to complete the course is
the realisation that they are not suited to a career in medicine.
The standard undergraduate medical course is
five years long although for students who decide to undertake
a research project leading to the award of a BSc, known as an
intercalated degree, the length of time between starting medical
school and finally graduating can be six or even seven years.
The Undergraduate Curriculum
The Education Committee of the General Medical
Council, which has responsibility for the quality of undergraduate
medical education and its assessment[46],
conducted an in-depth review of the undergraduate curriculum in
One of the principal recommendations was that the burden of factual
information be substantially reduced and a core curriculum be
identified in order to facilitate qualitative educational opportunities
for medical students. Despite the progress that has been made
towards this aim, undergraduate medicine remains an intensive,
stressful and academically and emotionally demanding course. Medical
students report that the commitments and expectations are often
far greater than applicants may have expected and far greater
than those on other degree courses with attendance at lectures,
practicals and clinical sessions lasting from 9 am until 5 pm,
the responsibility to participate in on-call rotas and academic
years as long as 50 weeks in the latter stages of the course.[48]
Assessment and Learning Methods
Many medical schools have introduced substantive
measures to improve the academic experience of students with continuous
assessment and the rearrangement of final examinations so that
they are taken over a period of time rather than all at the end
of the academic year, thus reducing periodic pressure. Medical
student feedback in response to these changes has been largely
positive although some have argued that this has simply spread
the pressure throughout the year leading to examination fatigue.
Most medical schools have made good progress
in implementing the core tenets of the GMC's recommendations on
the content of the course and learning methods. There has been
a reduced emphasis on students being expected to learn factual
information in favour of the development of the skills and attitudes
needed to become a doctor. The traditional distinction between
the pre-clinical and clinical aspects of the course has diminished
with most medical students being introduced to clinical practice
at a much earlier stage of the course than was previously the
The Learning Environment
The changes to the structure of the curriculum
and the introduction of medical students to clinical settings
at an earlier stage of the course has resulted in medical students
encountering radically different experiences than other students
in higher education.
The provision of education in a variety of settings
by a range of tutors makes it difficult for students to develop
relationships with their tutors and they may feel less well placed
to seek support when faced with difficulties on the course.
Clinical placements are often arranged at considerable
distance from the medical student base. The distances to which
students have been sent over the past five years have increased
dramatically due to the increase in the number of medical students
(students at London medical schools have reported being sent as
far as Plymouth on clinical placements). Aside from the costs
incurred in travelling such distances, the need to live in hospital
accommodation for extended periods can be isolating and has an
effect on personal relationships, paid work commitments, support
networks and leisure activities.
The availability of educational resources such
as internet access and libraries can vary widely depending on
the nature of the establishment to which students are sent. Students
undertaking placements in general practice, in which setting an
increasing amount of teaching is taking place, are largely unable
to gain access to educational resources.
Stress Among Medical Students
Medical schools have been encouraged to adopt
a "problem based learning approach" to teaching in which
facts are taught within the framework of real-life clinical scenarios.
Medical students are, therefore, exposed to the often-stressful
realities of medicine and will have far more emotionally demanding
experiences than other undergraduate students. The incidence of
stress among medical students has been well documented.[49]
Medical students are acknowledged to be prone to suffer stress
and psychological disturbance due to direct confrontation with
disease, suffering and death, which are endemic in clinical practice
and the constant evaluation of their performance by staff and
patients. It has been suggested that stress management should
be incorporated into the undergraduate course and support mechanisms
be put in place, particularly in medical schools, to encourage
students encountering emotional difficulties to seek help at an
early stage[50].
Medical students are largely entitled to the
same levels of financial support from the government as students
of other disciplines. Since the abolition of maintenance grants
in 1998, which had a disproportionate effect on the debt burden
placed upon medical students, student loans have constituted the
main form of financial support. Student loans are currently available
at a maximum of £4,480 for students in London and £3,635
for students outside London, but this amount is reduced by £500
during the final year of study. This reduction has a particularly
disadvantageous effect on medical students who are often expected
to be in attendance for up to 50 weeks during the final year of
study, the most intensive part of the course. As a result, the
average debt levels among final year medical students has risen
by over 10per centsince 1998/99 with 22 per cent of final year
students now owing in excess of £15,000.[51]
The BMA's Medical Students Committee has made
repeated representations to the government that medicine is a
far longer and more expensive course but that no account is taken
of this in the administration of the student loan system. The
resulting effect is that medical students are incurring increasing
levels of debt and hardship, which impacts on stress levels and
ultimately academic performance.
Medical students incur increased expenditure
on books, equipment and ward clothing, and being in attendance
for longer periods of the year, are unable to take up work during
vacation periods and are more likely to work during term time
to support themselves. Many medical schools have expressed concern
at the increasing incidence of medical students taking up part
time work during term time and the resulting detrimental effect
that this has on students' ability to cope with the intensity
of work on the course. The BMA's survey of medical students' finances
has shown that an average of 19 per centof students have to work
for up to 11.9 hours per week during term time due to insufficient
financial support[52].
It is widely acknowledged that these figures, which are likely
to influence academic failure, are likely to rise in future years.
There has been a surge in the levels of debt
incurred by medical students which is likely to continue as the
effects of the changes to the levels of financial support take
full effect on the medical student population. The BMA's annual
medical students finance survey has revealed a 37 per cent increase
in debt levels in first year students and an 81 per centincrease
in debt levels among second year students.[53]
Debt levels are exacerbated among students from lower-income backgrounds
with medical students from semi-skilled and unskilled backgrounds
owing 21 per cent more than those from professional or managerial
Although this is strictly beyond the remit of this inquiry, we
feel that it is likely to have a sufficiently serious impact on
medical student retention to warrant being brought to the attention
of the committee.
A number of factors influence continued quality
in undergraduate medical education. The BMA's Medical Students
Committee and Medical Academic Staff Committee have expressed
concern that in the absence of sustained investment in the infrastructure
required to support medical education, the increase in medical
school places adopted by the government will be at the expense
of quality in medical education.
The most obvious resource required to guarantee
the continued quality of undergraduate medical education is the
availability of clinical academics as it is essential for students
to feel that they are able to access academic and pastoral support
throughout the course. There has been a 13 per cent drop in the
number of clinical academics between 1993 and 1999, a significant
proportion of which has taken place since 1997. The BMA has expressed
repeated concern that without an appropriate ratio between tutors
and students it will not be possible to guarantee continued high
quality of teaching in medical education.
Recent surveys have shown a worsening crisis
in the recruitment and retention of clinical academics[55]
which has an impact on both research and clinical teaching. This
survey, was intended to act as a follow-up exercise to the findings
of the 1997 Richards Report[56],
which showed 56 chairs being vacant. The 1999 survey results showed
a worsening of the situation, with at least 74 clinical Chairs
unfilled. A number of factors have served to worsen the growing
crisis in recruitment in academic medicine including the lack
of training and career structure, terms of service, the difficulties
encountered in fulfilling the tripartite responsibility for teaching,
research and clinical work and the pressures of the Research Assessment
Career Structure of Clinical Academics
Due to the lack of a co-ordinated career path
for potential academics, doctors considering a career in academic
medicine face a minimum of 7 years clinical higher specialist
training and a further 2-3 years of training in research. This
successfully deters most potential academics and is compounded
by the lack of certainty regarding career opportunities following
Terms of Service
Clinical academics are employed by Universities,
but they hold honorary contracts with NHS Trusts and are expected
to fulfil a maximum of six clinical sessions for the NHS per week.
The terms of service of clinical academics are, on the whole,
less favourable than those of NHS doctors and serve as a disincentive
to potential applicants. Clinical academics are denied the arrangements
set in place for NHS doctors for study leave and removal expenses
which, given that academics are more likely to move around more
frequently than their NHS colleagues, can amount to a significant
loss. Also, the lack of uniformity in the entitlement to undertake
private practice serves as a further disincentive.
Universities, being autonomous employers, do
not recognise years of service at other universities for the purposes
of continuity of service. This results in a loss of maternity
benefits for female doctors who constitute more than half of current
medical student intake, the underrepresentation of whom in clinical
academia has been widely acknowledged.[57]
Teaching, Research and Clinical Responsibilities
Clinical academics, who are employed under honorary
consultant contracts, undertake fixed commitments in NHS Trusts
and are expected to combine these with teaching and research functions.
The continuing responsibility for the provision of quality patient
care, in addition to teaching commitments, has compounded the
challenges faced by academics. The lack of co-ordination between
Universities and Trusts is having a negative effect on clinical
academics who face increasing pressures from the requirements
to participate in the Research Assessment Exercise, the Quality
Assurance Exercise and clinical governance measures. The rising
volume and intensity of workload, increasing medical student numbers
and the inability to achieve comparable remuneration packages
with their NHS colleagues serve to perpetuate the recruitment
and retention crisis in academic medicine which has had a damaging
effect on the support available to students.
The Research Assessment Exercise
The Research Assessment Exercise and the five-year
timescale to which research is carried out has encouraged universities
to plan only in the short term. This has affected investment in
core support and staff development as universities compete to
attract experts who have succeeded in publishing work in the five-year
period of the exercise.
The BMA's Medical Academic Staff Committee has
been concerned for some time about the replacement of clinical
academic staff with non-clinical staff, largely as a consequence
of the RAE. The financial pressures forcing universities to obtain
high scores in the RAE has led to increased emphasis on research
at the expense of teaching and service work. The culture of insecurity
and instability within academic medicine has served to perpetuate
the crisis in recruitment and retention which has impacted on
medical students and the quality of teaching at undergraduate
There are a diverse range of factors influencing
the retention of undergraduate medical students in the UK. The
structure and content of the undergraduate course and the clinical
setting in which medical education is provided are largely unchangeable
factors that a majority of students navigate their way around
during the five or six years in which they are at medical school.
There are, however, some measures which would substantially improve
the medical student experience and curtail the levels of wastage

(FIG) GMAC to Sell European Mortgage Business to Affiliates of Fortress Investment Group
In an effort to reduce its exposure to legacy mortgage business, GMAC Financial Services of GMAC Inc. (GJM) yesterday announced a deal to sell its European mortgage business. The company said that its mortgage subsidiary, Residential Capital LLC, has agreed to sell its European mortgage assets and businesses to affiliates of certain funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (FIG).
The deal represents about 10% of Residential Capital's total assets as of Dec. 31, 2009. However, under the new accounting norms that became effective on Jan. 1, 2010, the transaction represents around 40% of total assets on a pro forma basis. The assets in the deal are valued at about the levels established in the fourth quarter of 2009, and GMAC expects no material gain or loss.
The sale includes certain loan assets and servicing rights, and the shares of the related operating entities in the United Kingdom, Germany and The Netherlands. Though GMAC did not reveal the sale price, Fortress Investment said that the assets to be acquired include approximately 6,000 residential mortgage whole loans.
GMAC also announced the closure of a whole loan transaction in the United Kingdom for $177 million (GBP 116 million) on Mar 31, 2010. This whole loan transaction, the deal with the Fortress affiliates and some other whole loan sales that are in progress will mark the exit of GMAC from the European mortgage market.
However, according to the Fortress management, the deal would enable the company to attract investment opportunities throughout Europe by leveraging GMAC's servicing platforms with other Fortress-owned servicers.
Late in March, Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) announced its intention to buy the North American factoring business of a unit of GMAC for undisclosed value and terms. The deal is expected to be completed by April 30, 2010.
The huge losses incurred by its troubled residential mortgage unit, Residential Capital, impelled GMAC to obtain multiple loans totaling $17 billion under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) from the government in 2009. Currently, GMAC is focused on the disposing of several of its business operations in order to focus on its core automotive lending business and repay the TARP money.

(BAYONNE, New Jersey) — The Royal Caribbean cruise ship that was rocked by stormy weather arrived back in New Jersey Wednesday night, where it is expected to be inspected by the Coast Guard.
The Anthem of the Seas arrived in Bayonne, New Jersey around 9 p.m.
The ship, which left from the same port on Saturday and was due to head out on a week-long cruise to the Bahamas, was supposed to arrive sooner after the captain made the decision to turn around, but that arrival time was pushed back further because the "weather isn't great," a Royal Caribbean spokesperson said on Tuesday.
"The Captain has been very sensitive to the rough ride guests have already experienced. So he's slowed down his speed to smooth it out," the spokesperson said.
Coast Guard officials are expected to be on hand to inspect the ship.
"The Coast Guard will participate in an investigation that will help determine if there are any contributing causal factors or lessons learned from this event that could help prevent injuries or damage in the future, as occurs with any commercial vessel operating in U.S. waters under similar circumstances," the Coast Guard said in a statement released Wednesday.
In a statement Wednesday night, the cruise line apologized "for exposing our guests and crew to the weather they faced, and for what they went through."
They said the ship encountered "sustained 120-mph winds" which "far exceeded forecasts."
"Even so, it is our responsibility to eliminate every surprise we possibly can," said the company, which plans to bolster its planning system going forward.

A Social Media Approach is an essential component of a larger marketing plan for any business in today's world. We take on that Social Media is a highly effective medium to connect using prospects and clients but because Social Media is indeed new, we're hardly sure how to properly market our company using Social Media.
If you were applying for a business loan the first thing your financial institution manager would inquire is, Do you have a business strategy plan?
If you're venturing in to Social Media for your business the first thing you need to contemplate is, What's my personal Social Media Strategy?
Obtaining one or more Social Marketing Techniques in place before you go into the big wide world of Social Media will help you obtain clarity and route for your business.
Think the World's top sports athletes begin a race with out a strategy? No way, any individual serious about achieving results in any field knows they need to have one or higher effective strategies set up PRIOR to beginning their particular venture, event and so forth.
While marketing ideas remain the same, the manner in which those principles are employed within the Social space will vary depending on the program you're using to market your business.
The four most recognized Social sites are Facebook or myspace, Twitter, YouTube as well as LinkedIn. Each represents an opportunity for businesses to target prospective customers in a different way.
For example, have you been a B2B business wanting to market your goods and services to other business owners? Utilize LinkedIn.
Would you like to educate potential customers and customers inside a short, quick and easy to be aware of way, use Facebook.
Would you like to create a community of enthusiastic fans and engage with them in a personal way? Use Facebook.
We know that a strategy is simply a strategy or series of steps we must take to achieve a certain outcome. Setting up a Social Strategy takes a detailed analysis associated with who you'd like to focus on and how you're going to goal them in the ultimate way.
Some initial questions you might like to ask yourself for you to formulate your Social networking Strategy are:
Who is my target consumer?
Who REALLY is my goal customer?
What are their particular buying motivators?
What are the 6 primary thoughts or even questions they would consider prior to buying my product/service?
What is the better way to target my prospects?
What is my personal outcome? Do I wish to: Receive more home based business leads, Build closer relationships with buyers, Receive more testimonials from existing buyers, Create a community of people passionate about my product/service/topic, Develop my database...?
Who otherwise has the same buyers as me?
How can my marketing direct look like?
How can I maintain my prospect's attention course?
And when creating your Social Marketing Campaign...
What may i give them that nobody else can?
Will they acquire instantly or will certainly this campaign simply initiate the purchasing process?
How can I present our offer in a way they're not accustomed to in order to provide massive value to them?
If I were my own customer, what would inspire me to take action to acquire?
When they read this (headline, copywriting), what will they are and/or how would they feel in response to this?
If this doesn't perform, what else could work?
Who most often buys through me, male or female? Is it single, married or perhaps in a relationship? How old is it?
Will they buy from us once, or would they purchase regularly?
What will be the steps to take my own customer through to buy?
What marketing principles will continue to work most effectively with this campaign? (Scarcity, Sociable Proof, Authority, Taste, Reciprocity)
What testimonials will be best for my target market? Do they really respond better to composed or video testimonies?
In developing your Social websites Strategy it's essential that you just answer these inquiries not immediately, but throughout the formulation of one's Strategy.
If you skip your mark initially, keep trying and soon you get the formula proper. With every campaign you'll come closer to damage the code that is your customer's thoughts.
If you can get of their head, you're on your journey to a sale. The majority of your own prospects will have the identical questions, queries, considerations and turn offs. If you can figure out what these are you'll build a compelling Social Media Approach and you'll enjoy remarkable results that most other people can only hope to attain with their Social Marketing.

Flat in Granada
Hi, My boyfriend and I will be staying in Granada for 3 months from September onwards. He will study and I will continue to work in my current job but remotely.
We are looking for a flat for 3 months but it seems to be quite difficult as we need an internet connection (for my job) and won't be staying long enough to set up gas, electricity etc. for such a short period.
Do you have any ideas recommendations where we could find short term rental furnished flats or long let holiday flats?
Many thanks
