Application opens Nov. 1, 2019 and is due Jan. 15, 2020.
All applicants must apply through the Dental Hygiene Centralized Application Service (DHCAS). DHCAS information, including application forms and instructions, is available on the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) website at adea.org.
In order to be considered for the Dental Hygiene program at The University of Oklahoma, your application must be received and verified by the DHCAS. The deadline for submission is January 15 of each year.
Please Note: It is the applicant's responsibility to monitor the status of their application and make certain the application reaches the "verified" status. Applications not reaching a verified status will not be forwarded to our program for consideration.
In addition, a separate OU Supplemental Application must be electronically submitted to the Office of Admissions at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center at admissions.ouhsc.edu. Both your ADEA DHCAS application and your Supplemental OU Application must be received no later than January 15th in order to be considered for admission.
1. The following items are submitted to DHCAS according to their instructions: The ADEA DHCAS Dental Hygiene Application is available beginning November 1: http://www.adea.org/DHCASapp/applicants/
2. TOEFL Exam (Test of English Foreign Language
Who should take the TOEFL Exam?
The minimum test scores for applicants to the Dental Hygiene program are as follows:
3. Transcript Evaluations by World Education Services (WES):
All applicants with foreign credentials are required to submit official documents to WES for a course-by-course evaluation.
More information regarding International admission is available at OUHSC Admissions and then clicking on "Prospective Students."
A baccalaureate degree requires a minimum of 120 semester hours of work, including specific prerequisites. The sixty hours of prerequisite coursework can be completed in two academic years. Once in the program, students have an additional two years in the dental hygiene program.
No. there are very heavy demands made on students' time. Attendance is mandatory and classes, labs and clinics are often scheduled from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition, there is a significant amount of required study and at times, projects that are very time consuming.
The deadline for application submission is Jan. 15 of the year in which the applicant wishes to begin the program.
In-state or out-of-state applicants are afforded equal opportunity for admission. All coursework must be from accredited institutions.
Beyond the necessary prerequisite courses, no other coursework in a particular area is given preference. Areas for additional study should include courses that are of interest to the applicant. Some suggestions for courses that may improve one's knowledge for any health related career might include medical terminology, immunology or other biologic science courses, education or behavioral science courses, research, or any number of other courses that relate to a higher degree of knowledge.
Yes. If you would like to take these courses online, please refer to: http://isd.ou.edu/
No. applicants may be able to gain valuable information about the desirability of a career in dental hygiene as well as a better overall understanding of dentistry by working as a dental assistant. However, dental hygiene requires different knowledge and skill sets from those of dental assisting.
Foundational Prerequisite Courses must be completed or in progress during the spring semester of the year in which admission is sought. If accepted to the program, original, official transcripts are required by Admissions and Records, prior to June 15, verifying courses are complete and a grade of a C or better has been earned.
Non-Foundational Prerequisite Courses must be completed by Aug. 1 of the year in which admission is sought. If accepted to the program, original, official transcripts are required by Admissions and Records prior to Aug. 15, verifying courses are complete and a grade of a C or better has been earned.
The interview process occurs in early spring. You will be notified by email if you are invited to interview.
Please note that not all applicants will be advised of an interview at the same time, as interviews take place on three separate dates.
One of the best predictors of future academic success is past academic performance. For that reason, the academic record of applicants is weighted rather heavily in the initial placement of applicants. A Foundational Grade Point Average (FGPA), last 60 hours Grade Point Average (L60GPA), ACT score, and Foundational Course Completion Status are used to compare applicants' academic qualifications.
A GPA computed to evaluate all applicants using the same prerequisite foundational courses that are critical for the dental hygiene program--especially those courses whose content is heavily used throughout the dental hygiene curriculum. The FGPA uses the averaged grade for the following eight required courses.
We compute a FGPA in order to be fair to all applicants, regardless of previous college experience. The reasons for FGPAs are twofold; to allow a fair comparison of all applicants regardless of how many semester hours completed and to provide a means for an individual to improve academic performance in key courses that can be reflected significantly in the applicant's credentials. If FOUNDATIONAL courses have been taken through Advanced Placement or CLEP, the courses fulfill the FOUNDATIONAL prerequisite requirements, but are not calculated into the FOUNDATIONAL GPA.
The Admissions Committee aims for its decisions to be completed by mid-April. Candidates are notified of their status as soon as possible after the class is selected.

Living in the United Kingdom, traveling to Lithuania is not a thing people consider doing. The travel insurance agent asked me where Lithuania is (Europe) and the money exchange agent didn't know what currency they used (the Euro). Even my friend JP who traveled with me admitted to never considering Lithuania before.
A quick history lesson
Lithuania is one of the Baltic states (along with Latvia and Estonia) and used to be a part of the Soviet Union. The Kingdom of Lithuania dates back to the 1230s, and during the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe. But, in Europe things change, and by the end of the 1700s Lithuania was part of the Russian Empire. They declared independence in 1918, but were occupied during World War II, first by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. After the war, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania and held it until 1990, when Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare its independence. Lithuania is now a member of the European Union and Schengen area, and adopted the euro at the beginning of 2015. (Source: Wikipedia)
And back to travel
Thanks to the recent addition of a Wizz Air direct flight between Glasgow and Vilnius, Lithuania's capital, getting there was an easy three hours in the air. We arrived very late on a Wednesday night and I departed Sunday night (JP left Monday to go directly to London for the next leg of her trip.) Here's what we did in gluten free Vilnius, Lithuania.
Getting settled and oriented
Since we'd arrived really late the night before, we spent our first night in the AirInn Vilnius, just next to the airport (you walk outside for two minutes to get there.) We enjoyed the buffet-style breakfast featuring salad vegetables, lunch meats and cheese, fried eggs, yogurt and fruit (and some other gluteny stuff).
We hung around until check out time as we were still pretty tired from our late night, then headed back across to the bus stop in front of the airport to move into the city for the next three nights. Our bus arrived just as we walked up (score!) so on we hopped, paid 1 euro for the ticket, and were off. We told the driver where we were going and she told us when to get off the bus for the Corner Hotel. It's a bit outside of the old town and tourist destinations, but it's walkable or there's a bus that loops around the old town that stops just in front of the hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and there was a large supermarket just two blocks away.
The hotel itself was kind of a cross between a hotel and a dorm; our twin room was Ikea-furnished and plain, but comfortable and clean. We had a mini-fridge in the room. There seemed to be a lot of tours coming through, many of them with large groups of teenagers. It was not quiet; take earplugs if ruckus bothers you. JP discovered a laundry room and a small shared kitchen space down the hall. The staff were very helpful and all spoke English.
After dropping off our bags, we set out walking with a map in hand. We headed into the old town, were the streets are lined with restaurants and shops. We stopped for lunch at Forest, which touted itself as featuring "Salad & Grill" and is part of a chain. We ended up eating there three times over the trip as it was inexpensive and offered a range of healthy choices like soup, salad and smoothies, as well as some grilled meats and Lithuanian specialties. I carried my Celiac Travel card in Lithuanian and used that every time we ate – I only had a couple of places tell me they couldn't do much, which was better than I'd expected.
We spent the afternoon and evening exploring old town, stopping to eat or drink at our leisure. We had a drink at Bambalyne, a cool beer cellar that had been recommended to me by a friend from college. They do have a couple ciders which are gluten free, and I saw a corn lager but didn't investigate it further.
We stumbled across Bistro 18 and had dinner there, and later found out it was in TripAdvisor's top 10 restaurants in Vilnius. We had an after dinner glass of wine at Notre Vie, which we'd read had hammocks. Alas, no hammocks, but there were hooks in the ceiling that made it seem like they'd been there before. We did have a good glass of wine for 4 euros.
Getting lost and finding some epic street art
We spent our second day walking around the city. We started with a walk north from the hotel and then along Gediminas Avenue, which is a main road filled with shops and cafes. We stumbled across an orchestra performance taking place in the middle of the street, which was really cool (I've now found the video, from the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra – watch it here.) From there, we took a long walk across the old town and down to the bus station (we planned to go to Trakai the next day, so we checked out the scene.) We were trying to make our way back up to the hotel but got some bad directions (we got a lot of bad directions this day) and stumbled across some incredible street art.
Friday night the rain arrived, so we stuck close to our hotel for dinner. After trying to go to Meksika, which touted their allergen-friendliness on their website (no good for gluten free!) we ended up at Fortas. It looked like a steakhouse mixed with a wine bar, played really repetitive electronic music, and served an inexpensive menu of pub food with some Mexican specials. It was a very confusing place and it's apparently a chain. They were able to accommodate my needs, though the marinated vegetables on my plate were replaced with a salad (sounds better to me anyway!)
We called it a night early as our plan was to get out to Trakai early in the morning – the weather was forecast to be horrible from midday.
Trakai, then Vilnius, in the pouring rain
After another hotel breakfast, we walked back to the bus station and hopped on a minibus bound for Trakai. The driver didn't speak English but we managed to pay our 1.70 euro fare (one way) and found seats at the back. The trip took about half an hour. We stepped off the bus and walked across the town of Trakai to reach the castle on the other side. Just near the castle, there are lots of stands selling souvenirs. We decided to see the castle first, so we crossed the bridge out to the island where the castle stands. We paid our 6 euros to get in, and explored the castle, which was full of museum exhibits in different rooms. We saw everything from pottery to weapons to furnished rooms.
After we'd had a good long around, we headed back across the bridge just as the sky opened up. The wind was crazy and we were soaked in minutes. We decided to take shelter in a nearby restaurant and try to wait until the rain slowed a bit. Here I ran into some gluten free problems – they said the only thing I could eat was a cold salad. They brought me the saddest salad ever – lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red bell peppers and a couple olives – with olive oil. That's it. I had some cashews in my bag so I tossed a few on the sad salad and tried to make due. By the time we'd finished, the rain had slowed into a steady drizzle, so we trekked back across the town to reach the bus station. Another 1.70 fare took us back to Vilnius.
When we arrived, it was still drizzling, but we figured that being from Glasgow, we could manage, so we set out walking again. We'd noticed an indoor market the day before, but hadn't stopped in. It was a good way to get out of the rain, so we popped in to the Hales Market for a wander. It reminded me a bit of Seattle's Pike Place Market, with everything from produce to fish to clothes and other goods on offer. We wandered into a stall selling scarves and JP was accosted by a rather aggressive sales lady who only spoke Lithuanian to us the entire time.
After that we were pretty much done with the market, so we headed back out and walked towards the Gate of Dawn. The rain had picked up again so we decided it was time for a break and wandered in to little café nearby called 12 Istoriju. I was already hungry thanks to my lunch of sadness, so I got a bunless cheeseburger and fries. We had a glass of wine and tried to wait out the rain, but we'd hit the worst of the storm, and it was pretty much relentless. We finally decided to give up and head back to the hotel to warm up and dry off.
The storm ended around 6:30, so we headed to Shark Tail Sushi, about a block behind the hotel. It was a very small place that was decorated more like a coffee shop than a sushi place, but we managed to order. Note that they don't have gluten free soy sauce, so I had to eat my sushi dry. I was able to find plenty of rolls that were safe, though, and it was really inexpensive. We took another little walk around the area before deciding to call it a night.
Whirlwind tourism
We still had quite a few major sights to see, so we headed out early on a whirlwind of tourism on my last day. We took the bus from the hotel into Uzupis, an artist's community and self-declared independent republic adjacent to the old town. Some notable things to see there include the mermaid of Uzupis, the angel of Uzupis, and the constitution of the community. Of all the neighborhoods we explored, this was my favorite.
From there we walked north into the Kalnai Park of Hills. The park is huge and lovely, and it is home to the Hill of Three Crosses. We approached the Hill of Three Crosses from the south, which meant we had to climb the longest, sketchiest set of wooden stairs I've ever seen. I told JP I was going to have a heart attack at one point.
It was also pretty isolated – we only saw a couple other people and a dog during this leg of the walk. After reaching the end of the stairs, we wove our way across hills until we saw a group of nuns and followed them – right up to the top of the Hill of Three Crosses. The view of Vilnius from there is spectacular; however, there's a much easier way to get there, and that's to approach from the north.
We descended to the north instead, and walked around to our next stop, Gediminas' Tower. Another steep incline on a weird, rocky hill with a few stairs mixed in leads you up to the tower. We didn't go in the tower, but you could for 4 euros. (I was pretty sure I couldn't climb another stair at that point.) We spotted a lift that would take you down for a euro, so we jumped in. You're supposed to buy tickets at the bottom, but if you find yourself at the top, just ride down and buy your ticket before exiting. You can't get out otherwise.
From the bottom of the lift, we walked around the Vilnius Cathedral. As it was Sunday, we walked in the doors just as services were starting, so we stood quietly in the back for a minute to have a look around and then snuck back out. It's really beautiful, but obviously I couldn't take any pictures inside. I recognized the Lord's Prayer being recited as we left (in Lithuanian, but the pacing is the same.)
After this, we walked back along the section of Gediminas Avenue we'd missed two days prior, and then wove our way back across the old town for one last lunch at Forest. When we left Forest, we found ourselves in an unexpected downpour which thankfully only lasted a few minutes. We made our way back across to the hotel where I cleaned up, packed the last of my stuff and caught the bus back to the airport.
If you go
For UK residents, it's easy. Take your EU health insurance card and your passport. No visa needed for tourism.
- For US residents, it's mostly easy. Take evidence of medical insurance – even though I wasn't asked for it, it's required for entry into the country. Take your passport – no visa needed for tourism.
- We had very few issues with language and most of the people in restaurants, shops and hotels spoke English. If you're gluten free, take a travel card, as that was a bit more tricky to communicate effectively. I had a few problems, but for the most part gluten free Vilnius was easy to manage.
- If you do the tour we did on the last day, go in reverse order – Cathedral, Tower, then Hill of Crosses. It's a much easier walk that way. It's still super hilly so wear comfortable shoes!

An international event about cooking in Trieste
For the first time, our LC is organizing an exchange entirely dedicated to the Italian cuisine, so join us for an experience you won't possibly live anywhere else. The event isn't just about food, italian or otherwise: it is about what you will prepare, assisted by us and chefs. A whole heap of games, activities and competitions will make discovering and cooking the most notorious italian dishes and other local specialties into an unforgettable adventure that you'll be able to take home with you and surprise your friends with. That's not all though: for the International Night, you'll be the chef and cook a whole dish from your land or imagination for everyone to enjoy. You'd better start looking at those recipes of yours… or ask grandma! ;)
…but not only cooking
But that's not all! Enjoy your staying in a spacious hostel in the outskirts of Trieste, on the Karst plateau, a unique natural environment that gives the name to many geological and natural phenomena across the world. Take a look at the wonderful and sometimes dazzling landscape, visit Trieste and its variety of architectural styles and landmarks, ranging from the solemn neo-classical palaces of the 19th century to the beautiful and ancient romanic of the castle and basilica. Swim and revel in the sun on our long, rocky coastline, or grab your hiking boots and have a stroll on roads and paths completely surrounded by nature.
Expect some competitions
Don't take it too easy though. Once you get here, be ready to arm yourself with ladle and cooking pot, for you'll be tested in a preliminary round of cooking. If you're lucky and skilled enough, you'll stay and learn the ways of a true EESTEChef; otherwise…
Nah, just kidding! No prior knowledge is required; just good will and passion for cooking and having fun :)
When and where?
From Saturday 22/08/2015 to Friday 28/08/2015 at the Scout Hostel Alpe Adria at Campo Sacro, a few kilometers outside of Trieste, Italy.
The Welcome banquet and the Icebreaking games will be on Friday 25/07/2014 evening, so all the participants are asked to be here the 25th evening. The departures will take place the day after the event. Each of those two night are included in the event and already paid for the international participants.
Can I sign up for this event?
Basically yes, if you are a student.
This is an EESTEC exchange event (more info about EESTEC in english and italian) and all you need to know is:
- 10 participants are EESTEC member from various european countries, often called international participants
- 10 participants are non-EESTEC members from our local university or from anywhere near, often called local participants
- therefore the whole event will be held in english. If your english is not that good, don't worry – it's a great opportunity to improve it by meeting new people!
- There is no other knowledge required, except having fun :)
- participants must be students of any university
- there is a participation fee of 90 € to be paid locally at the beginning of the event
How do I get there?
Some information on how to reach Trieste form other countries is available on the dedicated page. After that, check the page about reaching the hostel from the province of Trieste.
Local participants will have the chance to sleep in the hostel too, the price for it is included in the participation fee, also because the trasportation to/from the hostel must be self-managed and is not included in the fee.
If you still have some questions, feel free to write us to email@example.com or email@example.com
Application forms
International, EESTEC participants
Application via eestec.net until 21 July 2015 at 23:59
Local, non-EESTEC participants
Application via Google Form until 19 July 2015 at 23:59

A ski-masked man breaks in and surprises busty airline-security staffer Lorelei. Her mouth is roughly stuffed with cloth, duct tape is smeared across her face, and her limbs are secured with rope. The intruder is there to steal something special, but he has enough time along the way to pull out Lorelei's big tits and give them a good groping. Lorelei tries to stand up and inch away, but the reward for that escape attempt is that she's shoved onto a stool and roped even more thoroughly. There's nothing Lorelei can do to stop the determined burglar. Finally she's blindfolded and left all alone to squirm helplessly. (20 minutes)
The story is followed by fun behind-the-scenes footage: lots of laughter, and a few times that Lorelei had to get gagged and re-gagged. (5 minutes)
Ladyboss Lorelei stops by B&G Company to talk to a peer, and there she encounters sexy secretary Darla Crane. They have a history: Lorelei framed Darla at her previous job and got her fired. Darla snatches her chance at revenge. She ties Lorelei up, ballgags her, exposes her huge breasts, leaves her alone for a couple of terrifying minutes, then returns wearing a strap-on dildo... and she makes Lorelei suck Darla's dyke cock! Lorelei gags, spits, and whimpers, but she can't escape this humiliation. Her mascara runs as tears gather in her eyes, and her lipstick smears as she must suck dick at Darla's command.
BANANA HUMILIATION bonus ending: Darla enjoys one more cruel moment of revenge as she inserts a banana into Lorelei's mouth.

(This version of this clip does not include the Banana Humiliation Ending.)
Lorelei's dangling from the ceiling, barefoot and topless in her silky slip (pantyless too, to be honest). Her sad little noises are audible behind the tapegag.
But wait there's more! This is actually a 3-minute damsel scene followed by 27 minutes of interesting how-to/behind-the-scenes footage where Lorelei talks about rope suspension details with the evil pirate Mr. Fish (actually quite a gentlemanly rigger). It's fun! Videography by Jon Woods. Cameos by IndieDog and Chunky Monkey.
Busty redhead Ashley has been tied up all night on two chairs. Morning has arrived and she's so exhausted! She moans through her tape-gag and writhes slowly against the ropes, squeaking her leather calf boots together. Her employer takes no pity, only downdresses her to reveal her beautiful breasts. Later she finds herself lying on the ground, still no closer to freedom. Video live sound is accompanied by some sad music.
Video and JPGs. Set AshleyGraham2.
Sexy Nurse Carissa Montgomery is post-bound with her big tits on display. Rigging/videography by Lorelei. - - Nurse outfit, nurse costume, nurse uniform, big boobs, busty, buxom, topless, bare breasts, post tie, post bondage, garage bondage, high heels, gloves, cleave gag.

We finally found the missing disk later. - - Brunette, secretary, high heels, open heel, bare legs, blouse, ropes, cleave gag, scarf gag, mattress, topless, bare breasts, closet.
Nurse Boobie is dressed in her black shiny fetish nurse uniform with her tits right out there. She wears matching patent leather pumps, and pink rubber gloves. She's been roped up and tape-gagged, so all she can do is wriggle and whimper. Her shoes squeak together, her rubber gloves squeak, and her shiny uniform fabric makes noise too. To finish her ordeal, her elbows are tied together really tight! Starring mature model Lorelei. Rigging by Jon Woods.
Eric Holman rigged and photo'd me a few years ago for an update at his Costume Bondage site. He has kindly given me permission to show you the set here!
Long side 1024pixels. JPGs. French maid, uniform, costume, high heels, hose, hosiery, pantyhose, fully clothed, topless, outdoors, outside, patio, tape gag, tapegagged, rope bondage, purple rope, dirndl, blonde, nice tits, big tits, busty
This is the Encore Video of "Detention for Schoolgirl". It consists of all the footage from our backup tripod camera (8 mins), plus various behind-the-scenes footage (10mins) of Lorelei tying and gagging Phoebe. There are also a number of cute moments of a little fosterdog that seemed to have a crush on Phoebe!
The Scene: Cute student Phoebe has been given detention for talking in class and not being able to sit still. To help her out she's now gagged, and tied hand and foot. She's all by herself, feeling squirmy and uncomfortable, so she carefully stands up and works her way over to the desk to look for scissors. Of course before long she finds herself more securely attached to the chair... plus some humiliation has been added by opening her blouse to display her beautiful bare breasts! -- Eyeglasses, schoolgirl costume, school uniform, plaid, topless, barefoot, bare feet, nice tits, brunette, glasses, chair bondage, chair tie, chair tied, rope bondage, cleave gag, cleavegagged, scarf gag, scarf gagged, office, office bondage, escape attempt. -- Outtakes, candid, behind the scenes, bloopers, funny, fun, humor, laughing, rigging, tying, applying gag.

Grand Daddy Hotel, Cape Town
Memorable Stay - Excellent Staff

Grand Daddy Hotel, Cape Town
horrible. avoid this hotel.
had a difficult check in experience. would never recommend this hotel.
Grand Daddy Hotel, Cape Town
Perfect in All Areas
As a solo American traveling to Capetown, this hotel was perfect. South Africa, including Capetown is experiencing serious challenges in terms of tourist comfort from the lurking criminal element that keeps travelers on their toes, erring on the side of caution. The Grand Daddy Hotel is perfect in that it mitigates the fear of the unfamiliar through proper tips from its front desk personnel. Each and everyone of the staff members is very patient as they offer necessary advice in terms of do's and don'ts when navigating the area. The hotel itself is clean, quaint, and everything works and is efficiently placed. Honestly, I cannot find a weakness with this hotel. It made my six days well worth my trip and allowed for a pleasurable experience in one of the most fascinating locations in the world.

Loved the Airstreams on the roof!
We stayed in the trailers on the roof. It was super fun and comfy. Good breakfast.
Grand Daddy Hotel, Cape Town
Great location and friendly staff
Very pleasant hotel to serve as a base for tourists in Cape Town. Room was rather small and lacked a chair (there's was a stool to use at the desk). On the other hand, there's a very large and quiet lounge on the 1st floor that was great for reading/office work. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Applying Research into Policy & Practice (ARPP) Postdoctoral Fellowships 2020
Next Call is expected in Q2 2019
The overarching aim of the Applying Research into Policy & Practice (ARPP) Postdoctoral Fellowships is to develop talented and skilled health researchers at mid-stage in their research career. It emphasises the ability to apply research evidence in improved healthcare and health policy, in order to reduce the gap between research findings and health policy and/or clinical practice. Projects can be in the areas of clinical research, population health research and/or health services research.
The scheme has two arms:
- In practice – supporting in-practice healthcare and health policy professionals who are currently working in the management or delivery of health and social care services.
- Academic – supporting health researchers who are usually in academic positions.
Scheme at a glance
|Career stage
|Research area
|Funding available
|Average €250,000 per award
|Duration of funding
|Up to 60 months
Additional Information
- Details of this Scheme
The ARPP call focuses on applied health research in areas of strategic importance at local, national or international level (as opposed to focusing on investigator-led research). The case for the selection of a particular research topic will need to be justified by demonstrating:Close
1) A need (e.g. reference to the 2017 Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Health Care report, strategies for specific disease or policy areas, etc.)
2) The ability to bring together a team that has the potential to influence policy and/or practice in this area.
- Who can apply?
The 'in-practice' arm of the fellowship scheme is open to individuals who are currently working in the management or delivery of health and social care services in Ireland. This scheme is about enabling fellows to remain in service while at the same time conducting research. It will provide protected and mentored research time (40–60% Full Time Equivalent) for up to five years.
The 'academic' arm of the fellowship will support health-related researchers, including healthcare professionals, in full-time academic positions. The fellowship will support individuals typically for up to three years full time. Part-time arrangements can be requested; these may have a duration of up to five years.
- How to apply
All applications must be made using the HRB Grant Electronic Management System (GEMS) grants.hrb.ie. GEMS will close automatically at the deadline.
The application must have been reviewed and approved by the signatory approver at the research office (or equivalent) in the host institution before it is submitted to the HRB. Therefore, applicants should ensure that they give the signatory approver sufficient time before the scheme closing date to review the application and approve it on GEMS. Please note that many host institutions specify internal deadlines for this procedure.

California politics and governing have solely through the Democratic party in recent years.
While that's no surprise in Santa Cruz County, where progressive Democratic politics has been the only politics for decades, statewide, the Democratic stranglehold could have some unforeseen results in this year's elections.
And this could have a bearing on Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representatives this fall from Republican control.
The main reasons why are the top-two primary system in California and the Democrats' lack of party discipline.
That's because Republicans, enfeebled as they have been, have figured out how to play the system in several Congressional districts up for grabs on June 5.
In these conservative districts, well-known and well-funded Republicans friendly to one another have filed to run alongside a plethora of Democratic challengers. Since only the top two finishers under California rules go on to the November ballot, the GOP manuever is aimed at ensuring that both are Republicans.
Democratic party leaders they have a problem: with a huge pool of eager candidates wanting to demonstrate they'll work toward ensuring that Donald Trump won't be on the 2020 ballot, there are just too many Democrats running. The upshot could be that none gain enough votes to make the November ballot.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won seven of the 14 Republican-held congressional districts in California in 2016, which has raised hopes that Democrats could win these seats in traditional GOP strongholds, mostly in Orange County and the Central Valley. But in six of the seven Clinton-won districts, four or more Democratic candidates are fighting for the seats. That's led to some intense Democrat-versus-Democrat campaigning.
Party officials say they're trying to convince some of these candidates to drop out and, in at least two GOP-held districts they hope to pick up, the Democratic field has narrowed.
But top Democrats have acknowledged they may have to soon decide to focus party support on a single candidate.
But this could create a backlash, especially if more liberal candidates get passed over as party leaders seek more moderate candidates in traditionally conservative districts.
Blame it on the deal struck back in 2009 to create the top-two primary, which was created in a deal made by Democratic legislators with a single Republican lawmaker in exchange for his support for a state budget package.
The primary then got the support of former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, who instead it would end the super partisanship infecting state (and national) politics by encouraging candidates to move more toward the center. by appealing to a broader swath of voters.
It hasn't worked. If anything, polarization has only increased. And the top-two primary has also pretty much spelled the end for minor parties, as voters revert back to marking either "D" or "R" rather than deal with too many confusing choices.
The split in the party also may have an effect on other races, although Democrats will almost certainly hold onto all the offices.
With the party no longer automatically endorsing incumbents, longtime U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein along with Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra failed to get enough delegate votes at last month's convention to secure party endorsements. Instead, state Sen. Kevin de León, who received 54 percent to Feinstein's 37 percent, and state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, 56 percent to Becerra's 42 percent, got the endorsements.
In both cases, the more progressive candidate, favored by younger Democrats, won.
Republicans have virtually no chance in either of those races, nor for the governorship, where the top two candidates are solid progressives. None of this will affect local legislative and congressional races, which are mostly non competitive. But the bigger questions are whether the infighting will turn off centrist voters in other districts — and in some cases progressive voters — and if the lack of discipline will thwart Democrats' dreams of dumping Trump.

From "Happiness":
"The second tenet of the Serenity Prayer is too frequently slurred over. I am constantly amazed at the number of so-called obstacles I have overcome after giving them a second look, mustering what meager resources I have, then taking the hoe in hand.
"Serenity to me, therefore, is the absence of insoluble conflict. And it is up to me first to determine whether, after an honest look at myself, I can cope with the problem, then to decide whether it is to be tackled, passed over to another day, or dismissed forever."

Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. . . . Life will mean something at last.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 152
Life is better without alcohol. A.A. and the presence of a Higher Power keeps me sober, but the grace of God does even better; it brings service into my life. Contact with the A.A. program teaches me a new and greater understanding of what Alcoholics Anonymous is and what it does, but most importantly, it helps to show me who I am: an alcoholic who needs the constant experience of the Alcoholics Anonymous program so that I may live a life given to me by my Higher Power.

If God knew sin He would be a sinner, for what the Infinite Mind knows must BE. Sin or mistakes are outside the province of Reality; Jesus knew this; he also knew that while man labors under the sense of condemnation the burden of his thought weighs him to the dust. Being able to read thought he knew just what step to take in relieving the burden of this man's mind before telling him to arise and walk.
We shall do well to remember this lesson. How often we condemn when we should forgive, how often censure when we might praise. What untold grief of heart might be relieved by words of cheer and forgiveness. Especially should this lesson be remembered in the training of children, for they so readily respond to the thought of others.
Remembering that the Spirit holds no evil toward any and that God is Love, we should emulate this divine lesson (page 63) and forgive all, that our hearts may be free from the burden of our own condemnation.
Nothing could faze me,
even to a bird pooping in my drink.
"Love, Love, Love. All you need is love. Love is all you need."
To determine one's divine purpose is to have answered this question, then take action: "What would be the most fun thing i can do with my life?" jrc

ACIM Workbook Lesson 259 Insights
"Let me remember that there is no sin."
Jesus describes sin as the insane idea that seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. But insane ideas are false, and so illusions could never take the place of truth. That is why there is no sin.
Jesus explains that it is hopeless to make illusions, even though we may experience separate forms as very real indeed. The Holy Spirit brings us Christ's vision, which brings to our awareness the truth that lies beyond illusions.
My practice now is to see beyond illusions and remember that we have not changed ourselves from how God created us. We are still whole, perfect and complete. We are still extensions of God's eternal perfect Love. We are still one in God. The game of sin has had no effect on reality. The game of sin is just insanity.
Today I would let it go with the help of the Holy Spirit, Who is always in my mind, waiting to return me to the truth that all is Love and nothing else. Today I will give time to remembering that there is no sin, there is no separation. Illusions of separate forms could never replace the truth. Only Heaven is truth and Jesus tells us that we are Heaven. Today I would practice letting illusions sink behind the truth. Today I would be still, with an open mind and listen. Today I would remember that there is no sin.
Remembering there is no sin brings freedom from guilt. I only feel guilt when I believe that I have done something to cause harm. But harm is impossible because I remain within the Mind of God, and God is harmless, being Love and nothing else.
It is possible for me to deceive myself by believing that I have harmed God by separating myself from Him. But belief does not make reality. If I believe that I can oppose the Will of God and make a world of separation, I will experience that world because of my desire and belief. But that does not affect God in the slightest. It only affects my experience of God because it substitutes illusions of separation for the reality of God's Love.
The Course equates sin with the thought of separation and lack of Love. Since Love is all there is, totally unified and whole, lack of Love and separation could never be in truth. There is no sin. All that I believe I have done to cause harm has never occurred in truth. Illusions can appear to battle with illusions. Illusions can appear to destroy illusions, but these games of illusion can have no effect whatsoever on the reality of God's Love, Which is our Home.
As I remember there is no sin, I open my mind to the recognition of the Love that I am in truth. All that is real in me is Love. Its only goal is to join with all that is real, everywhere. Love always unites with Love. Guilt is unimaginable in Love.
Let my heart be open today to see the unity and omnipresence of Love, everywhere. I would accept God's gift today and know my Self.
The message I give myself when I am feeling sinful or seeing someone else as sinful is this:
No matter what is happening in my life today, at this moment, God loves me with an unwavering and unchanging love. He loves me with the same love with which He created me. Nothing I can do or say or think can have any effect on how God loves me.
This comforts me and reassures me. It leaves my mind free to realize that sin is an illusion and that all my "sins" have no real effect. Today I will watch my mind for belief in sin and each time I find this belief remind myself that there is no sin.

Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on Sunday for his pioneering program of giving microcredit loans to the poor. Yunus is the first Nobel winner from Bangladesh. The prize committee said the award also was intended to build bridges between the West and Islamic countries. We play an excerpt of his acceptance speech in Oslo. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on Sunday for his pioneering program of giving microcredit loans to the poor. Yunus shared the award with Grameen Bank, which he founded 30 years ago. The bank has helped hundreds of thousands of impoverished Bangladeshis—mostly women—by providing small, unsecured loans known as microcredit, which are then repaid.
Grameen Bank is an interest-charging, profit-making business that's almost entirely owned by the very women who borrow from it. Yunus is the first Nobel winner from Bangladesh. The prize committee said the award also was intended to build bridges between the West and Islamic countries.
In a few minutes, we'll discuss the significance of naming Muhammad Yunus for the award and look at the concept of microcredit with the chair of the Grameen Foundation, Susan Davis, as well as Vandana Shiva. But first, let's hear Muhammad Yunus in his own words. The "Banker of the Poor" delivered his acceptance speech on Sunday in Oslo. In his address, Yunus spoke about poverty and peace.
MUHAMMAD YUNUS: By giving us this prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has given important support to the proposition that peace is inextricably linked to poverty. Poverty is a threat to peace.
World's income distribution gives a very telling story. Ninety-four percent of the world income goes to 40 percent of the world population, while 60 percent of people live only with 6 percent of the world income. Half of the world population lives on $2 a day.
The millennium began with a great global dream. World leaders gathered at the United Nations in 2000 and adopted, among others, a historic goal to reduce poverty by half by 2015. Never in human history had such a bold goal been adopted by the entire world in one voice, one that specified time and size.
But then came September 11 and the Iraq War, and suddenly the world became derailed from the pursuit of this dream, with the attention of the world leaders shifting from the war on poverty to the war on terrorism. 'Til now, over $530 billion has been spent on the war in Iraq by the U.S.A. alone.
I believe terrorism cannot be won by the military action. Terrorism must be condemned in the strongest possible language. We must stand solidly against it and find all the means to end it. We must address the root cause of terrorism to end terrorism for all time to come. I believe that putting resources into improving the lives of the poor is a better strategy than spending it on guns.
Peace should be understood in a human way, in a broad social, political and economic way. Peace is threatened by unjust economic, social and political order, absence of democracy, environmental degradation and absence of human rights.
Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace, we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives. The creation of opportunities for the majority of the people — the poor — is at the heart of the work that we have dedicated ourselves during the past 30 years.
I became involved in the poverty issue, not as a policymaker or as a researcher. I became involved because poverty was all around me, and I could not turn away from it. In 1974, I found it difficult to teach elegant theories of economics in the university classroom, in the backdrop of a terrible famine that was raging in Bangladesh. Suddenly, I felt the emptiness of all those theories in the face of the crushing hunger and poverty.
I wanted to do something immediate to help people around me, even if it was just one human being, to get through another day with a little more ease. That brought me face to face with poor people's struggle to find the tiniest amounts of money to support their efforts to eke out a living.
I was shocked to discover a woman in the village, borrowing less than a dollar from the money lender, on the condition that he would have the exclusive right to buy all she produces at the price that he decides. This, to me, was a way of recruiting slave labor.
I decided to make a list of the victims of the money lending in the village next door to our campus. When my list was complete, I had names of 42 victims, who borrowed a total amount of $27. I was shocked. I offered this $27 from my own pocket to get these victims out of the clutches of the money lenders.
The excitement that was created among the people by this action got me further involved in it. If I could make so many people so happy with such a tiny amount of money, why shouldn't I do more of it? That's what I have been trying to do ever since.
The first thing I did was try to persuade the bank located in the campus to lend money to the poor. But that didn't work. They didn't agree. The bank said that the poor are not creditworthy. After all my efforts for several months, when it failed, I offered to become a guarantor for the loans to the poor.
When I gave the loans, I was stunned by the result I got. The poor paid back their loans on time, every time. But still, I kept confronting difficulties in expanding the program through the existing banks. That was when I decided to create a separate bank for the poor. I finally succeeded in doing that in 1983. I named it Grameen Bank or Village Bank.
Today, Grameen Bank gives loans to nearly 7 million poor people — 97 percent of them are women — in 73,000 villages of Bangladesh. Grameen Bank gives collateral-free, income-generating loans, housing loans, student loans and micro-enterprise loans to the poor families and offers them a host of attractive savings, pension funds and insurance products for its members.
Since it introduced them in 1984, housing loans have been used to construct 640,000 houses. The legal ownership of these houses belongs to the women themselves. We focused on women, because we found giving loans to women always brought more benefits to the family.
In a cumulative way, the bank has given out a loan totaling about $6 billion. Repayment rate, 99 percent. Grameen Bank routinely makes profit. Financially, it is self-reliant and has not taken donor money since 1995. Deposits and own resources of Grameen Bank today amount to 143 percent of all outstanding loans. According to Grameen Bank's internal survey, 58 percent of our borrowers have crossed the poverty line.
Grameen Bank was born as a tiny homegrown project run with the help of several of my students, all local girls and boys. Three of these students are still with me in Grameen Bank, after all these years, as its topmost executives. They are here today to receive this honor you gave us.
This idea, which began in Jobra, a small village in Bangladesh, has spread around the world. There are now Grameen-type programs in almost every country in the world.
AMY GOODMAN: Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, an excerpt of his acceptance speech on Sunday in Oslo. We have to break. When we come back, we'll be joined by the chair of the Grameen Foundation, Susan Davis.
AMY GOODMAN: Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank were awarded the prize for the pioneering program of giving microcredit loans to the poor. For a closer look at microcredit, we're joined by Susan Davis. She helped to found and is chairperson of the Grameen Foundation. She's also chair of the Ashoka Global Academy for Social Entrepreneurship and adviser to the International Labor Organization. She has just returned from Oslo, where she attended the Nobel award ceremony for Mohammad Yunus. Welcome to Democracy Now!
SUSAN DAVIS: Thank you so much, Amy.
AMY GOODMAN: We didn't get a lot of coverage of the events this weekend here in the United States, so why don't you just describe — you blogged on your website the whole experience.
SUSAN DAVIS: Right. Sorry that people didn't get that much coverage of it. It was an incredible event, really exciting. And there was world media from all over at the press conferences and covering the event in Oslo. So I don't know why Americans were denied the opportunity. But I guess they can go online and see it.
It was a really moving moment, where Muhammad Yunus and Taslima Begum, on behalf of the Grameen Bank, accepted the Nobel Prize. I don't know if you realize, but Taslima Begum is one of the 12 members of the board of directors. She's also one of nine village women who are also borrowers. So Taslima is one of those people that we talk about—the poorest of the poor trying to use microcredit to lift themselves out of poverty. Well, she actually did that. And she, like many of the other board members, were victims of child marriage, married at nine, remarried at 12, had a life of — it was very hard. They've had to work for everything they've got. So when she spoke out at the Nobel Peace Prize, I just lost it.
It was one of those moments where you think, you know, we talk about empowerment, but this was it. It was the spirit of empowerment just ringing through her body. And for the first time, I think, the world heard a Nobel laureate who is from the poorest of the poor.
AMY GOODMAN: Now, explain exactly how it works, though Muhammad Yunus did go through it. How did she get the money in the very beginning? What is she given? What is a woman given?
SUSAN DAVIS: Microcredit is a poor woman's survival strategy that Yunus systematized and created a way to make it scalable and sustainable. So it's a little loan without collateral. She would form a group with four other peers. So, together as a group of five, they would work with eight other groups in a center of 40. They would then have a Grameen Bank worker come to them, to their village. They do a lot of the discussing of whether this is a good idea or not. Does she know how to make tasty sweets? Will they sell? Can she actually raise, you know, goats or cows or sell the eggs from chickens? Is it a good idea? So they do that screening.
Then, they conduct all their business in public. Now, when's the last time you heard about banking being conducted completely in public? But transparency creates accountability. No one rips off anybody, because they all see all the loans given, they see all the loans being repaid right in front of themselves. They may not be literate or even numerate, but they know how to watch and count when it comes to their own money. So they take little loans. Now they can do it from as short as three months to as long as three years. Usually, right now, they're averaging about $120. They've made loans to 7 million women in Bangladesh, and they're also shareholders.
AMY GOODMAN: And why is women the case?
SUSAN DAVIS: Well, they started off in the early days just trying to get to 50/50 between men and women. And there are still, you know, 300,000 or 400,000 male borrowers. But after they got to 50/50, Yunus realized that women were actually better fighters of poverty, because all of the disposable income that they earned went right into the mouths of their kids and family to improve their health and nutrition. They then wanted a better roof over their head, you know, to prevent the rain from coming in or the cold.
So, they've lent now, from 1984 'til now, over 640,000 housing loans at a very low interest. And these are houses for a maximum of like $300. Yunus told that story Monday night at the concert, in fact, of what it means for a poor woman to have a house of her own. And I thought it's just like Virginia Woolf, you know, talking about women needing a room of one's own.
AMY GOODMAN: Talk about what else happened over the weekend.
SUSAN DAVIS: It was the first time the king and queen came, and they had to turn up to the Nobel ceremony and the banquet, because Yunus had invited Queen Sofia of Spain to come. She has been a total champion. And this is one of the ways that celebrities and personalities and people in political office that do choose to use their power on behalf of the poorest have been able to support and champion the microcredit movement.
Now, from the 7 million borrowers in Grameen Bank, and if you look at the work of Grameen Foundation supporting the like-minded institutions around the world, there's probably a Grameen replication in almost every country in the world now. And we all just had celebrated the Global Microcredit Summit in Halifax a couple of weeks ago, where we've now reached 100 million of the world's poorest families with credit for self-employment and other services, the first time in 10 years the world's been able to set a collective goal and achieve it, and, in large part, due to the leadership of Muhammad Yunus and the people he's been able to bring into this movement. And that's what people were talking about.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to read you a quote from an article by Alexander Cockburn, editor of Counterpunch, who cites the Indian journalist P. Sainath, who says the interest rates that micro-indebted women are paying in India are far higher than commercial bank lending rates. Cockburn writes, quote, "Today the World Bank and the IMF, along with state-owned and commercial banks are diving into microfinance. The microloan business is fast becoming a gigantic empire, bringing back into control the very banks and bureaucracies women have been trying to bypass. Microcredit is becoming a macro-racket." Can you respond to the issue of these high interest rates and how the global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF are beginning to use microcredit?
SUSAN DAVIS: Sure. In fact, Yunus talked about interest rates at the Nobel ceremony. The rate that Grameen charges is 20 percent simple interest. So that's not compounded. It's on a declining balance. It will average then in real terms about 12 percent. The key thing of whatever rate is charged, it is covering the cost of actually bringing credit to the borrower over and over and over again, sustainable for a lifetime. In the case of the rates where the women actually own the bank or they own the cooperative, then any profit earned is going right back to them. If you look at the extra cost to bring little loans to a lot of people, you actually have to have slightly higher rates. That's why credit cards will charge a higher rate than, in fact, making one $100 million loan to a big corporation. But you always need to ask what's the prime rate, what's inflation, and what's the cost of delivery?
What Grameen Foundation has been trying to do, and we're committed to doing, is bringing the cost of microfinance always down by improving efficiencies. So if you can use technology to automate or to be able to increase the cost effectiveness of delivering lots and lots of little loans, then you can pass that on to customers. It's not to say everybody in the microfinance field does it. But the majority do.
In India, the interest rates for really good microfinance institutions are not that high. You're really looking at between 15, 18, 20 percent. And the key evidence is, what's the alternative for women? Do they come back loan after loan after loan? Do they feel that it's actually helping them build assets in their lives, get their kids in school, put more meals on their table so that they eat at least two, if not three meals a day with protein at least once a week. That's what these interest rates or service charges, as some call them in the Muslim world, mean.
AMY GOODMAN: You lived in Bangladesh for years.
SUSAN DAVIS: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: Why did you go there? What first drew you there, and know Muhammad Yunus for decades?
SUSAN DAVIS: I've known Yunus for over 20 years now and was really privileged to get a chance from the Ford Foundation to go there and — I've said it was like the Wall Street of development, because they had all the problems and all the solutions packed in there. And that's when I realized that if you can get behind a really great social entrepreneur like Muhammad Yunus who's built not only the Grameen Bank, but 24 other institutions, some for-profit some not-for-profit, but all of them either potentially owned by those poor villagers themselves or will be owned by them, as he converts the final pieces of the strategy.
It's a way to get behind and recreate another kind of capitalism. You know, it's one thing to critique it. It's another thing to construct the alternative. And that's what I witnessed in Bangladesh, and that's why I got behind their leadership. And if you look at this world now post-9/11 — and I think the Nobel committee also underscored this — this is recognition of a Muslim leader in this world, where usually you hear the word "Muslim" branded with "terrorist." Here, this is Muslim leadership that the world has been following on the path for peace.
AMY GOODMAN: We're talking to Susan Davis. In a minute, Vandana Shiva will also join in this discussion. But first, let's go back to Muhammad Yunus's Nobel acceptance speech on International Human Rights Day on Sunday.
MUHAMMAD YUNUS: It is 30 years now since we began. We keep looking at the children of our borrowers to see what has been the impact of our work on their lives. The women who are our borrowers always gave topmost priority to the children. One of the 16 Decisions developed and followed by them are to send children to school. Grameen Bank encouraged them, and before long all the children were going to school. Many of these children made it to the top of their classes. We wanted to celebrate that, so we introduced scholarships for talented students. Grameen Bank now gives 30,000 scholarships every year.
Many of these children went to the higher education to become doctors, engineers, college teachers and other professionals. We introduced student loans to make it easy for Grameen students to complete their higher education. Now, some of them have even Ph.D.s. There are 13,000 students on the student loans. Over 7,000 students are added to this number annually.

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare®: The Taming of the Shrew - Leicester Square Theatre
Preview by Lizzie Guilfoyle
FOLLOWING Sh!t-faced Showtime®: Oliver With a Twist! (March 27 to April 12), Magnificent Bastard Productions return to Leicester Square Theatre for the first of their Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® shows, The Taming of the Shrew, which runs from April 17 to June 1, 2019.
Will Petruchio jack it all in and stay a bachelor? Will Kate be tamed or tanked? Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® returns to Leicester Square Theatre with their drunken antics and drunken actors to tell the tale of a shrew who turns from tempestuous to tamed, probably.
With one genuinely inebriated actor every night, The Taming of the Shrew features cross dressing, food fights, a highly underwhelming horse, one too many bum cheeks and more twisted gender politics than you can shake a fawning fat-skinned fustilarian at.
The cast includes Stacey Norris, Saul Marron, Briony Rawle, Lucy Farrar, Rob Smythson, Will Seaward, Matthew Seager and Jack Forsyth-Noble.
Produced by Stacey Norris, The Taming of the Shrew is directed by Rev. Lewis Ironside, with set design by Mac Young and costume design by Lorna Jean Connell.
Still not sure how it works? Each performance takes a cast of professionally trained, Shakespearian actors and every night one carefully selected company member is tasked with drinking for a full four hours prior to show time. The remainder of the sober cast are tasked with wrangling our drunken hero through a 70 minute adapted script trying their level best to keep the show 'on the rails' while incorporating into the world of the play whatever drunken shenanigans are thrown at them.
With the original text reduced to the primest theatrical cuts and no time to spare, every night is a high-energy race to the finish through an ever changing series of drunken detours.
Image: The Taming of the Shrew © Rah Petherbridge Photography – January 2019.
Tickets: £20.75 – £16.25 (concessions). To book, call the box office on 020 7734 2222 or visit www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/.
Time: Tuesday to Saturday at 7pm.
Magnificent Bastard Productions' third show at Leicester Square Theatre will be Hamlet (June 29 to September 14). The company will then be heading to McEwan Hall for Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with one more show to be announced for the Autumn.

From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
"Warlight is a quiet new masterpiece from Michael Ondaatje…An elegiac thriller [with] the immediate allure of a dark fairy tale. In Warlight, all is illuminated, at first dimly then starkly, but always brilliantly." —Anna Mundow, The Washington Post
"If writers are cartographers of the heart, Michael Ondaatje's oeuvre could fill an atlas. . . [he] evokes a kaleidoscope of ideas and moods with exquisite lyricism…Warlight is an intricate ballet of longing and deception, and a singular ode to the mother-child bond." —Hamilton Cain, O Magazine
"[Ondaatje] casts a magical spell, as he takes you into his half-lit world of war and love, death and loss, and the dark waterways of the past." —Hermione Lee, New York Review of Books
"Mr. Ondaatje has stepped into John de la Carré's world of spies and criminals…his novel views history as a child would, in ignorance but also innocence and wonder." —Sam Sacks, WSJ
"[An] intricate and absorbing novel. . . . This is a book rich with detail. The reader is bound to be conscious of a hidden ballast of research, the seven-eighths of the iceberg without which the thing would founder, but so deft is the writing that you forget this, simply appreciating the meticulous background that brings alive a time and a place. —Penelope Lively, The New York Times Book Review
"A tender coming of age story so warmly delivered you almost forget how much of its plot involves smuggling, spycraft, and assassins…the novel becomes at once a mystery tale and an exploration into how much of our lives are out of our control, especially in wartime." —Mark Athitakis, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Michael Ondaatje's novel Warlight is a masterpiece of shifting memory… a book made lush through layers of experience instead of description." —Bethanne Patrick, The San Diego Union-Tribune
"[A] haunting, brilliant novel from Ondaatje…Mesmerizing from the first sentence, rife with poignant insights and satisfying subplots, this novel about secrets and loss may be Ondaatje's best work yet." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A lyrical mystery that plays out in the shadow of World War II…Ondaatje's shrewd character study plays out in a smart, sophisticated drama, one worth the long wait for fans of wartime intrigue." —Kirkus Review (starred review)

Real Madrid crushes Roma in the first Champions League match of the 2018-19 campaign. The Blancos scores three goals leaving the Lupi with no chance to reply.
Practically no one expected surprises at the Stadio Bernabeu today. Real Madrid easily defeated Roma in front of their supporters collecting the first three points in the GROUP G.
Isco's free-kick stubbed Di Francesco's side, a group incapable to react in this period. The Italian coach is facing serious tactical issues. His 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 are not efficient anymore. His players are demotivated and, at times, depressed. Nobody knows if EDF will be able to understand the best remedy for his men but he will not have many other possibilities to fail.
Roma sporting director Monchi was intercepted by the official channel of the club Roma TV right after the match and stated:
"We experienced a similar situation last year in December, the difference is that now it's happening before. I am confident that Di Francesco will find the right way," said Monchi.
In reference to the pressure he could feel in this tough period, the Spaniard clarified: "I worked hard to get here and I'm not afraid of anything. When things get harder, I'm stronger. I want to work today more than yesterday."
"I am convinced we will find the right path. If you have to find somebody to blame, I am here in front of you. Look no further, look for me because I am responsible. But I am convinced we will find the way to start again and move on altogether with the players and the technical staff. Last year we suffered and then we did beautiful things. We will make our supporters happy."

It seemed that the shares of Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) were on the right track after its most recent earnings report. Same-store sales improved and its e-commerce efforts showed a pulse. However, a look at the stock through three quarters shows it is down 5%. On the other hand, shares of its primary rival Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) are higher an extraordinary 68%. It shows how little Wall Street buys into Walmart's longtime strategies.
In the most recently reported quarter, Walmart's U.S. same-store sales rose 4.5%, the best performance in 10 years. More important, on a forward-looking basis, for the balance of fiscal 2019, Walmart expects that U.S. e-commerce sales will be up 40%. Many investors took the e-commerce numbers as finally showing that the world's largest retailer had some success with its transformation to an online presence and could mount a charge against Amazon.
However, Amazon answered Walmart's numbers with earnings that showed a 43% increase in North American sales to $32.2 billion.
Walmart also lacks the huge portfolio of products and services Amazon has. It has increased its competition against Walmart's critical grocery business with the buyout of Whole Foods and a number of promotions to bring in new customers to the new division.
Amazon also has its Prime service, which has over 100 million members. Research shows these members are much more likely to buy products from Amazon than customers who are not part of the subscription service. Amazon has put together a number of enticements to bring people to Prime and keep them. This includes a movie streaming service and free shipping.
And Amazon has a portfolio of consumer electronic devices, led by its Alexa-powered home assistant devices. These have been an unqualified success.
Amazon also has an ace in the hole, based on investor perception. Its Amazon Web Services cloud business is the largest in the world and is growing rapidly and highly profitable. Walmart is not in any other business beyond retail.
Walmart's good quarter has been buried by Amazon's success.

|Parkwood welcomes local children's author
|Thursday, February 11, 2016
Local author Laura Heitert recently visited Parkwood Elementary School to speak to students about a children's book she wrote which educates children about diabetes.
Laura Heitert is an elementary physical education and health teacher in the Parkway School District who has diabetes. She decided to write a book that helps educate children about diabetes using a concept she's employed in the classroom - a "Me Bag." A "Me Bag" is basically a bag that students can put items into and unpack at school for a show-and-tell type presentation.
In her book "Maddie's Me Bag," Heitert tells the story of Maddie, a girl with diabetes, who uses a classroom activity to teach her classmates about the tools and resources she uses to live a healthy, happy life, as well as other things that make her special.
Parkwood students easily recognized another special visitor during Heitert's presentation. Maryland Heights Officer Bob Heitert, her husband, was also in attendance. The popular police officer is the school's D.A.R.E. officer and also serves in that capacity at Remington Traditional School and Rose Acres Elementary School.
