Tom Cruise won't be reuniting with his Top Gun love interest Kelly McGillis in the upcoming Maverick sequel, as the actress reveals she wasn't asked, describing herself as 'old and fat'.
Top Gun: Maverick will see Tom, 57, reprise his iconic role as the fighter pilot but fans noticed that Kelly, 62, was noticeably absent when the trailer arrived last month.
The actress played Maverick's love interest in the 1986 movie and many hoped she would reunite with Tom in the anticipated sequel.
But Kelly's absence from the trailer wasn't by accident as she reveals producers didn't approach her about the possibility of reprising her role.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the actress said: 'Oh my God, no.
'I'm old and I'm fat and I look age appropriate for what my age is and that is not what that whole scene is about. To me, I'd much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff.'
Kelly went on to admit that she 'isn't racing' to the cinema to watch the Top Gun sequel and is unsure if she'll even join in the promotional tour.
'If and when it did happen, I would have to assess where I am, what I'm doing, what's going on … I can't project what I would or wouldn't do in the future. I have no idea because I don't know where I'll be,' Kelly explained.
The former Hollywood star continued: 'Movies are odd things. I don't really keep in touch with anybody.
'I think I've spoken to a couple of people occasionally, but the truth is, movies are very odd work situations because you have a lot of people who come together from all different parts of the world.'
Kelly also revealed that she hasn't yet watched the trailer for the film.
Fans are in for a real treat when Top Gun: Maverick arrives in cinemas, as Tom recently revealed the lack of CGI in the movie, stating: 'Everything you see in this film is for real.'
Top Gun: Maverick is out in UK cinemas on 17 July 2020.

Man's Subjugation Of Women
Fear always has to Dominate
The collective present world history is pretty much an indictment against man as a beneficent being, just learning manners and working his way through the world. The middle east and pretty much of the rest of the third world is still a male dominated preserve, only in the west do you find man trying at least to treat women a little better. The west's preoccupation with the female form and beauty is again a distraction from the fact that even we still influence women's clothing presentation and position in society at large.
To fully understand the weakness of men we have to understand the means by which the middle eastern man or third world country controls and manipulates women to own property and the upbringing of children and then we have to compare the west's behaviour to see if it is simply a trick of the light that we are being better to our women and girls.
The origins of this domination started something like this. A girl in a village situation was kept uneducated under male control, she works in the household from an early age and is used to look after younger siblings as the mother works, the man will not be seen except as the boss that must be obeyed. The taking of innocence at a tender age will keep a girls emotional nature close to that of a child a deliberate ploy to ensure that the children will be reared and educated as well as played with by a mother that is nearer their age. A typical twelve to fourteen years age gap was considered ideal by the ruling male class. Usually no child can hold property and so to encourage a young man to marry a non productive (not working or earning) girl, a dowry was/is sometimes used, or the woman was bought with livestock from the suitors family. The arrested emotional and educational development of the females leaves the men in control of the property, work and the lives of those in his household except in a Kraal environment where the tribal system has the women in stockades and boys and men with the livestock . because a girl is still considered more wilful and obstinate than boys, well they know they are heading into a servile life would you go quietly. A boy is/was given status and shown that he is/was superior to the female and the gender divide that was created is less than a peaceful stand off. The drudge of their lives is further compounded where genital mutilation is still in practice, this is still seen as the best way to ensure fidelity over a promiscuous girls desires. The tactic of keeping women suppressed is rigid and inflexible and is endorsed by laws and religious practices.
The idea that sexual promiscuity was once rife where wilful girls were once prized is just at the edge of awareness, the sheer amount of reported rape and capture and incarceration of people by ISIS has helped to highlight the root of this problem, controlling men with guns using sexual slavery or force and the threat to life to work their wills on another people and the stories and rumours are just horrible enough to close the areas down and to secularise the districts and to reduce or control migration or movement. After all a coward needs a mask or a disguise to hide behind and a wall of hostages are the common cowards stock in trade. Sort of like, 'me got big gun duh, wall of humans to shield me, now bait then kill the world'.
The western practices have gone a long way to showing that the differences between the west and the east appear at least on the surface to be worlds apart. We no longer have war zones on the streets of the British empire (since northern Ireland's troubles stopped) we have established a world trade for goods, a world banking system and fairer non religious governmental systems. Better educational standards, extensive social facilities from music and the arts to local community hall or local school productions, this gives more citizens of the west the potential to lead useful and fulfilling lives. Couple this with the plethora of career's available, lends a feeling of wide diversity to the look and feel of the modern-day working environment. The main drawbacks are the glass ceiling and that job sharing has proven that there really is not as much work available for all of the populace is causing a have and have not divide in the social sectors of the west. The economic forces that forced larger class rooms and fewer teachers is a modern-day problem from the adhoc development of a royal form of democracy that we have inherited and had no hand in reforming or modernising.
Girls in the west are educated as equally as the males, the opportunities are equally available to both sexes. The girls dress codes are a little bit more daring than the eastern mind-set is comfortable with and the fact that we tend to develop relationships based on the heart rather than the heads cold hard rule like the eastern ones with arranged marriages and genital mutilation as a control tool are to horrific for the western mind to be comfortable with.
The practice of the child bride syndrome of the late eighteenth century are almost a thing of the past in this day and age yet even the western mindset still seems to hanker after the sexualisation of young girls that has lead to an underground suppression of the scale and the facts of this type of practice are still to be sounded out. This is very like the eastern thinking of domination practices for women.
The sheer fact that the insecurity of men is further reinforced by these controlling factors has not gone unnoticed in this modern-day rise of the spectral shadow of ISIS and other eastern groups. Has for once brought home to the west the notion and scale of the neurosis of the mindset of man.
Men have established their authority over women for thousands of years using religion and then law to subjugate women to the will of man.
The tactics laid bare are that women are second class, they are emotionally arrested at an early age and their educational standards are crippled to keep women tied to the concept of male control and supremacy. They are married off to add to the family base and to keep property in the man's hands. Men's practices are more about mind control and power and the retention of property and wealth than anything else. This makes man the mind of the relationship and the women are the heart of the hearth and home.
As with the once heard bleat of modern-day rapists that the provocative dressing of a woman is seen by these mental morons as provocation or justification for the rape they instigated was once seen as a legal loophole for their crimes. The eastern man has even less self-restraint, take the case of the western female TV anchor and reporter who was abused as she reported a story in Egypt. Man has no intentions of reigning himself in and denying himself what he thinks is the male right over women. If a woman dresses provocatively this is no excuse for any man to claim her cloth covering ensnared his feeling so much he could not do anything else but deny her rights and inflict his desire on her just does not wash in the light of the western model, women dress as they please here with minimum interference and men are not incensed by provocative dress and jumping every female they see. The eastern mindset that uses these excuses hardly hides from the wider world their own insecurities are beginning to sound like hollow alibis and even out-and-out lies. The eastern mindset that does this is just trying to justify its own unrestrained lust. The recently well reported spate of rapes in India is a case in point, that the eastern mindset still only see women as a sexual object for male satisfaction and control. These are isolated incidents and the biggest majority of eastern men behave well as a rule. The exceptions are a shock and a major stain of the soul of man. The eastern mindset that looks at the west only ever knows us through our advertising and programs, then they see our women and how they dress and you can just hear them all think 'houri' the undisguised lust in a sexual attacker or in an ugly crowd is still enough to strike fear into the heart of any girl caught alone or isolated by circumstances.
The stoning or killing of women for dishonouring the family is still a further problem that needs to be addressed. A daughter is seen as property of the family and so must not show that she has a mind of her own, that her heart is not her own and any man who the family does not select is seen as a betrayal of the family bond. This betrayal of the family bond turns the loved child into a burden of shame that cannot be borne without satisfaction being exacted. So women as property of the family is the last area of concern on this terrible subject. An enlightened man who feels this shame would insist that the girl and her husband leave the district as they would be a constant reminder of the shame the family felt. Dead or alive the shame would stay with them either way but man and his savage nature demands blood. That any child had a mind of their own and chose to take the reins of her life is off course such a crushing shame that it demands their life or blood in a savage and brutal way for satisfaction. Yeah the nature of the beast.

It's much easier to get rid of them in the late evening when they are dormant. Spray the little beggars. After all they are only bees. There's lots more where they came from.

Looks like you have a large garden, Tom. The grass grows very quickly in the weather we`ve been having !!
The Little Man and His Empolyees.
Once there was a little man
Who hummed a little song
To all his little empolyees
Who also hummed along.
And since he was a single man,
And had no real company,
He grew his own crops, and ate his own bread,
To his workers' cacaphony.
Now this small man owned only 2 suits,
One for work, and one for everyday.
The former was used to visit his workers' families,
The latter used for cutting the hay.
Some people found him kind of mad.
Who would choose to visit his employees?
But that little man recieved gifts for coming,
That's why they called them 'honey bees.'
And since that man had his zillions of employbees,
And took care of them all through the winter,
His neighbours got together and gave him a name.
That's why he's called the Beekeeper!

Derek, bees are a protected species! No pollination, no agriculture, and no food for you!

I planted some Borage this year for the bees and they love it.They have had a really hard time and need our support and as Loz says,they are essential to food production.

Derek Platt needs to educate himself concerning the importance of bees. I think we could do without him rather than the bees.

To Derek Platt; there's many bee-keepers would like you to get "sprayed" for that remark!! (at least in the US and Canada) I hear that honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate in Europe, as well.

Gnome dominion
The Gnome dominion (called "Fellroot" by the inhabitants) is a non-state democracy, situated for most part within the hunting fields and somewhat in long ear forest itself. The dominion is ruled by The Felekos family since only members of the Felekos family are allowed to run for the position of leader every eight years (or if the old leader suddenly dies). The Gnome dominion is inhabited mostly by gnomes.
Relationship with Midgard
The largest part of Gnome dominion lies within Midgardian boundaries and although this part of the dominion follows Midgardian rule and pays Midgardian taxes, most of the gnomes receding in this part of Fellroot call themselves "Fellrootians" and see following the current laws of Midgard more as an active choice than as a consent.
Most gnomes believe that they could easily separate from main Midgard if laws where to be implemented that the current leaders of the dominion would not like. The Felekos family seems to be on mostly good terms with the Undain family though.
Laws within the forest
Apart from the fact that all taxes payed when living in the forest go the the dominion instead of Midgard, some additional laws are currently active within the part of the dominion that lies within long ear forest.
Pact of peace.
On pain of death, no inhabitant of this part of the dominion is to deliberately harm any feyfolk of long ear forest in any way. What constitutes as "harm" is documented and defined by the Felekos family but includes:
- Causing physical pain to
- Casting spells on (without consent)
- Stealing from
- Damaging property of
- Coming near holy shrines of
- Hunting game of any herd frequented by feyfolk.
Things that are not included are:
- Insulting feyfolk (although it is highly frowned upon).
- Causing financial harm trough the means of the legal free market.
The feyfolk within the forest have an equal law regarding inhabitants of the dominion.
This harsh rule was part of the peace agreement between the gnomes of the dominion and feyfolk of the forest.
Military duty
Unless granted pardon by the Felekos family, all able bodied gnomes must serve in the dominions military for a minimum of two years starting at the age of 20. Pardon is granted very frequently, especially to richer gnomes or gnomes with important jobs. Others choose to serve longer, receiving payment in return.
Military of Fellroot
Fellroot's military consists of drafted gnomes from the dominion and is payed for by taxes payed by the inhabitants of the forest part of the dominion.
The capital of Fellroot is called Topuur.
The full history of Fellroot can be read in the history of gnomes?.

(On a trip to Seoul two years ago to preview the 2018 Olympics venue at Pyeonchang, I got caught in a blizzard on the road, and had to turn back. Disappointing. But the years of excitement and work involved are paying off these two weeks.)
Like many 0f us, I tend to measure time by Olympic Games. And I remember a happy time in my life watching the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games at Whistler.
The Olympic facilities at that venue remain there for all to enjoy, and the Olympic spirit remains alive. Whistler/Blackcomb -- one of the biggest ski resorts in North America, and consistently rated as one of the best -- is located in the Coast Mountains 75 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Celebration is an essential aspect of Whistler: a wide range of year-round programming, festivals, events and entertainment for all ages and audiences. But winter is when it shines.
The resort offers 10,000 bedrooms among 24 hotels, as well as townhomes, condos, B&Bs and chalets. Whistler also boasts more than 100 restaurants and bars, 200 retail shops, 25 spas and activities from skiing and snowboarding, mountain biking and golf, to hiking, rock climbing, and watersports.
While the world turns to Pyeongchang, Whistler will be celebrating that spirit with daily broadcasts, exhibits and activities.You can cheer this year's Olympic athletes at Whistler Olympic Plaza until February 25, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Watch the CBC broadcast of Pyeongchang 2018 on the big screen, warm up with a hot beverage and capture the quintessential shot with the Olympic Rings before the flame burns out.
And best of all you can emulate the games throughout the winter season on world-class Olympic facilities. And so far there's been over 23 feet of snow -- and counting:
-- Strap on the skinny skis in the Callaghan Valley at the Whistler Olympic Park, home to all Nordic events in 2010. The park also offers biathlon, snowshoeing, and tobogganing for unique adventure you can't find at most resorts.
-- Slide down Whistler Mountain's Dave Murray Downhill and emulate the athletes who competed there eight years ago in the downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super-combined and super G races.
-- Speed things up at the Whistler Sliding Centre home to bobsleigh, skeleton and luge competitions during the 2010 Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games. Set out on the world's fastest ice track and try the exhilarating sports of bobsled or skeleton.
-- Visit the Whistler Museum to learn the story of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, at the Hosting the World exhibit. Check out the gear of 13 of the Olympic and Paralympic athletes from the Sea-to-Sky corridor, grasp the glory of the torch, try on a ski bib or sport the volunteer "smurf" uniform.
-- And double-up on Games-time spirit with an Olympic Adventure Package. Start your morning at Lost Lake Park in a Discover Classic ski lesson and make your mark on the world of cross country skiing. Pick up the pace in the afternoon at the world's fastest ice track with a bobsleigh or skeleton experience at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

The fishing techniques include angling, trolling, long line fishing and snagging. Depending upon the technique of fishing various appropriate tools have been developed. Globally fishing is a large market and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Increasing population has its own demands for food products and fish & fish products form a large segment in people's food habit worldwide.
All major regional market segments including North America, APAC, Europe and RoW have a large market for fishing tools. Fish consumption has been going up globally due to increasing population and also increase in non-vegetarian diet trend. Increase in disposable income and rapid growth in emerging markets especially in APAC have stimulated spending culture in the retail markets, contributing in the constant surge of fishing equipment and other leisure products markets. Increasing expenditure by millions of anglers globally and taxes collected on fishing and motorboat fuel are contributing significantly in supporting fisheries conservation and fish recreational programs. Fishes also provide oils that are beneficial from nutritional point of view and can be used medicinally. These form the major drivers for the fishing equipment market. The opportunities for global fishing equipment market lie in tapping the unorganized fishing sector which barely utilize the local substandard products and growing interest of enthusiasts in fishing for recreational purpose.
Some of the key players in this market are AFTCO Mfg.

This document demonstrates how Sterling B2Bi external purge works and different with Internal Purge.
Difference between Internal Purge Vs External Purge
Internal Purge(IP)
External Purge(EP)
By default, runs every 10 minutes
High performance purge.
Deletes expired BP and Document data from the various tables.
Runs in a separate JVM & Multithreaded.
Multithreaded supported with SI JVM and Can be enhanced by modifying bp.
External Purge deletes does 100 bp´s / documents on multiple tables (30 threads)
Deletes all eligible BP's records, in 2000 BP's batches(internal purge will only delete from 1 table at a time.
Can run even when SBI is down and the database is available
Internal Purge bp will use thread, it makes other bps to keep in queue until it completed.
It uses the lock mechanism on the BP, so while one instance is running, the next one can't run unless the previous one finishes
External Purge should run on one cluster node only.
Disable the default Purge service when running the external purge.
The lock manager will contain a lock for the Hpp.Purge and PURGE_SERVICE
How it works
External Purge get enabled multithread by default, The MULTITHREAD parameter kicks off a thread for each table that needs to be processed, rather than using one thread to process each table serially.
If MULTITHREADED purge is enabled then the DBA can see multiple DELETE queries running parallelly on different tables and that if confirms the purge process is deleting the records.
Pre-requisites to setup external purge
- Disable the default Purge service. Click Deployment > Schedules, search for PurgeService, and then clear the Enabled checkbox for PurgeService.
Make sure screen shows internal purge service is not running as below.
b.Turn off the "Important Schedules are Disabled" email notifications by adding the following line to the customer_overrides.properties file. This removes the Purge Service SQL query for the schedule.
resourceMonitor.ScheduleMonitor.propertyValue.1=SELECT STATUS, SERVICENAME FROM SCHEDULE WHERE SERVICENAME IN ('BackupService','IndexBusinessProcessService','AssociateBPsToDocs' ,'BPRecovery','BPLinkagePurgeService')
c.Go to <si_install>/bin and run below command
./control_extpurge.sh start
d. Go to <si_install> and look for the extpurge.pid file which have process id.
You can grep the process id from the extpurge.pid using below commands
ps -ef | grep pid
Nestat -an | grep pid
e.Also execute as ps -ef | grep hpp
It should display 2 process running with the same PID from extpurge.pid, one process as parent id and another process as child.
Also run ps -ef | grep purge
It should display 2 process running with the same PID from extpurge.pid, one process as parent id and another process as child.
Monitoring External Purge
a.Go to the <si_install>/logs/PURGE
You can find log file as extpurge.log.D20180621.T035303
[2018-06-27 03:21:33.582] ALL Delete rate [SIPurgeThread2]: 111.1111111111111 Purge Candidates/sec
[2018-06-27 03:21:48.412] ALL [PurgeScavenger.run] - Current Queue Size: 0
This log will tells the purge record delete rates.
b.you can find records by running below query and also from DB Usage screen.
C.Go to Operations-->Lock Manager and see if hpp and PURGE_SERVICE services are locked or not.
d. Go to Operations-->Support Tools-->SQL Manager and run below query
select * from locks
The ITEMNAME hpp.Purge service running on SYSTEMNAME as node1 which means , ./control_extpurge.sh start command is executed from the node1.
PS: Do not release the locks for hpp.Purge and PURGE_SERVICE
Stopping External Purge
a.Go to the node which has hpp.Purge service running
b.Go to <si_install>/bin and run below command
./control_extpurge.sh stop
c.Go to <si_install> and look for extpurge.pid, this file should have been vanished.
d.Run below commands to see if any service is running, expected result is we should not have any results.
ps -ef | grep hpp
ps -ef | grep purge
Disabling External Purge
a.Go to Operations-->Lock Manager and unlock below service by unchecking the services.
hpp and PURGE_SERVICE.
b. Go to Operations-->Support Tools-->SQL Manager and run below query
select * from locks
What are the properties are used by external purge
Tuning can be done using the link https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS3JSW_5.2.0/com.ibm.help.archive_purge.doc/ArchPrg_TuningExtPurge.html
Back out
In case something goes wrong with external purge, we can disable the external purge by stopping and enabling the internal purge by going to Deployment > Schedules, search for PurgeService, and then check the checkbox for PurgeService enable.Then go to cleanup processes make sure it is enabled.
How to find external purge is stopped history
- Go to <si_install>/logs and search for StopExternalPurge.sh.log

Work–family interface for married women: a Singapore and United States cross‐cultural comparison
family‐to‐work conflict, job satisfaction, marital satisfaction, schedule flexibility, work–family interface, work‐to‐family conflict
This study is a cross‐cultural comparison of the work–family interface for married women using two nationally representative samples from Singapore (n = 467) and the United States of America (n = 923). This study demonstrates how the direction and strength of paths in a model of the work–family interface differs between a collectivist nation (Singapore) and an individualistic nation (the USA). Results revealed that schedule flexibility decreased family‐to‐work conflict in the United States but increased family‐to‐work conflict and increased depression in Singapore. Clear differences in the direction of effects in schedule flexibility and family‐to‐work conflict in the United States and Singapore suggest that national culture (e.g. collectivist vs individualistic) is an important factor in theorizing about the work–family interface for married women.

Saaho teaser has taken the online circuits by storm and the highly-anticipated teaser has gone viral, as it was expected to. Meanwhile, Saaho's teaser has started off its tryst with records in style and Prabhas has overtaken the likes of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu with Saaho teaser. Reportedly, Saaho teaser that had released in the online circuits at 11:23 AM has already fetched 100K likes on YouTube. What is even more striking is the fact that the teaser has touched the 100K likes mark within just 26 minutes.
This is in fact an all-time record for a Telugu movie (non-Baahubali record). Saaho teaser has turned out to be the fastest to reach the 100K likes mark. Earlier, this record was held by the teaser of Pawan Kalyan starrer Agnyaathavaasi, which had touched the 100K likes mark within 30 minutes. The teaser of Jr NTR starrer Aravinda Sametha too had touched the milestone within the same time. On the other hand, the teasers of Mahesh Babu movies like Bharat Ane Nenu and Maharshi, had reached the 100K likes within 35 minutes and 40 minutes respectively. Meanwhile, the latest reports also reveal that Saaho teaser has turned out to be the fastest one to reach 200K likes mark and it achieved the same within 82 minutes.
Saaho teaser is expected to crack break many more big records in the hours to come. The teaser has been receiving generally good responses from the audiences. Prabhas fans are indeed happy to see him in an action avatar. The visuals are indeed stunning and it seems like the film will feature some splendid action sequences.

Squares and Stripes Pillow
Squares and Stripes Pillow takes me back to my grandma's house. It has a little of that country feel, but yet modern.
If you prefer the back printed in the same print as seen on the front simply add to cart after choosing your color and size without clicking the "Personalize the Other Side" button.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you really like the design but would like to see it in a different color. The Squares and Stripes Pillow can be customized to any color that meet your needs.
Recommended Uploaded Photo & Graphic Sizes – Avoid Blurry Pillows
As awesome as your picture may be when it's small on your phone, it may not look as awesome when enlarged, so make sure your picture meets the following requirements by looking at the details in the properties of your file. These sizes are based on if you are covering the whole pillow.
- 14″ x 14″ Pillow Size: Minimum 2,100px by 2,100px / Maximum 4,200px by 4,200px (BEST Results)
- 18″ x 18″ Pillow Size: Minimum 2,700px by 2,700px / Maximum 5,400px by 5,400px (BEST Results)
- 26″ x 26″ Pillow Size: Minimum 3,900px by 3,900px / Maximum 7,800px by 7,800px (BEST Results)
Example: You have an awesome clear photo sized at 4,000px by 3,000px. Let's face it, photos are typically rectangular. This photo would look great on the 14″ or the 18″ pillow. Move or resize the picture, and the tool will automatically crop out any areas you don't want on the pillow.
If you're uploading other graphics, such as a smiley face to add to the pillow, keep it safe with at least 3,000 x 3,000 pixels and no larger than 7,800 x 7,800 pixels. The closer the pixels to 7,800 (72 dpi), the better the picture quality. Although we can print a picture with less than 3,000 pixels, We don't recommend it because the picture will print distorted, especially on the largest pillow, and we want you to have an awesome pillow to show off to the world.

Course Descriptions
Fall Semester: Year One
Foundational Science I: BM529
The Foundational Sciences 1 module introduces students to the molecular and biochemical underpinnings of cellular structure and function, and initiates the foundations of clinical practice through the conductance of a patient-centered interview. Students will apply the principles of cell structure and function to clinical scenarios.
Social & Behavioral Sciences for Public Health: MPH611
This course is a social and behavioral sciences core course for the MPH program. Psychological, social, and cultural concepts and models relevant to health and disease in society are reviewed and critiqued. The course will enable students to describe core theoretical perspectives from each of the social science disciplines of psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Students will learn how to select and apply appropriate social and behavioral models to the design of public health interventions and policies. The course will also cover existing social inequalities in health status related to race, social class, and gender, and the critical intersection between social risk factors, behavioral risk factors, and the development and implementation of public health interventions. Social ecological models that influence population health at multiple levels are emphasized.
Histology for Health Professions: PATH313
This course provides students with an understanding of the normal architecture of cells and an opportunity to gain appreciation of how cellular components specialize to form primary tissues, and of how these tissues give rise to organs and organ systems. The course allows for the evaluation of the structure-function relationships in normal cells, tissues, and organs. Students will acquire morphological pattern recognition and cell/tissue/organ identification skills at the light microscopic level and to a lesser extent at the electron microscope level through a lecture-lab combination, systems-based approach. Students will be introduced to proper use of a light microscope and essentials of microscopy. Utilizing light microscopes in a laboratory setting and on-line tutorials to recognize the morphology of structures, students will relate these structures to their function.
Clinical Shadowing & Service Learning: BM524 & BM525
Clinical Shadowing and Service Learning opportunities are included throughout the first year of this program. The Medical Master's Program will arrange 3+ hours/week of shadowing and 4+ hours/week of service learning experiences. Participation in these activities will be monitored by EVMS faculty advisors and academic counselors. Transportation is not provided; students must have their own means of transportation.
Spring Semester: Year One
Principles Of Epidemiology: MPH614
An introduction to epidemiology as a body of knowledge and a method for analyzing community health problems. Emphasis is on how to measure and describe the health of populations, the natural history of diseases in population groups, standardization of rates, sources of data, study designs, measurements of risk, evaluation of screening tests, causal inferences and outbreak investigation. This course includes lectures, reading and individual and group assignments.
MCAT Preparation: BM534
The students will take an MCAT preparation course taught by Kaplan Test Prep during the spring of year 1. EVMS faculty advisors and academic counselors will monitor students' progress in the course.
Legal and Ethical Issues in Medicine: MPA 5341
Examination of the relationships and impact of health law and medical ethics in healthcare by analyzing case studies of contemporary health issues.
Clinical Shadowing & Service Learning: BM524 & BM525
Clinical Shadowing and Service Learning opportunities are included throughout the first year of this program. The Medical Master's Program will arrange 3+ hours/week of shadowing and 4+ hours/week of service learning experiences. Participation in these activities will be monitored by EVMS faculty advisors and academic counselors. Transportation is not provided; students must have their own means of transportation.
Fall Semester: Year Two
Human Structure: BM536
The Human Structure course is devoted to developing a three-dimensional understanding of the human body. Information will be presented in various formats using online, live and interactive methods followed by a dissection of a human donor in the human anatomy laboratory. This is a course designed for active, self-motivated learners who carry a strong professional drive to master the content. Materials will cover the following: 1. Anatomical concepts and structures 2. Clinical applied anatomy 3. Medical imaging (plain film, CT, MRI, US) and 4. Developmental anatomy.
Foundational Science II: BM530
The Foundational Sciences 2 module addresses the fundamentals of organ structure and function, and builds upon the foundations of clinical practice laid in earlier modules. Students will be able to apply the principles and process of organ structure and function to effective practice.
Presentation Skills and Professional Knowledge: BM519
Presentation and Professional Knowledge Skills is a team based course covering non-academic aspects of the admissions process including practice interviews and history/vitals using standardized patients in small groups; application strategies; AMCAS application, personal statement; the role of healthcare team (various allied health professions) in delivering medical care; community medicine; coping skills (personality types, cultural issues, interview anxieties, effective study strategies, setting goals and failure); ethics and healthcare economics.
Spring Semester: Year Two
General Mechanisms of Disease: BM532
The General Mechanisms of Disease module serves as a transition from the foundational modules to the organ systems modules. It focuses on the general mechanisms of disease, introducing students to microbiology and infectious disease, principles for discriminating healthy from unhealthy conditions, and predicting clinical manifestations from available data. Students will interpret clinical data and prioritize differential diagnoses and management plans. Students will also conduct integrated and focused physical examinations based on chief complaint and history.
Skin, Muscle and Bone: BM531
The Skin, Muscle and Bone module provides students with the tools to recognize the causes and potential diseases of the integumentary and musculoskeletal systems. Through integration of these systems, the students will develop the ability to diagnose and create management plans for diseases of skin, muscle, and bones based on signs, symptoms, complaints, and diagnostic results.
Gastrointestinal System and Metabolism: BM533
The Gastrointestinal System and Metabolism module provides students with the tools to recognize causes and potential gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases. Students will develop the ability to develop diagnoses and management plans for gastrointestinal system and metabolic diseases based on signs, symptoms, complaints, and diagnostic results.

Tenancy deposit protection schemes ensure that when deposits are paid to landlords they're kept safe, and when the tenancy comes to a close (provided there has been no breach of the lease), the tenant is able to reclaim his or her funds without dispute. Below is a selection of frequently asked questions about these schemes in the UK:
I'm signing a new lease: will my deposit be automatically protected?
In 2007, the government passed laws to protect tenants' deposits provided they meet the terms of their lease agreements i.e. they don't damage the property and pay their rent and bills on time. Landlords are required to place deposits in one of three tenancy deposit protection schemes within 30 days of receiving the funds.
To find out if your deposit is protected, you can visit the relevant scheme and enter your tenancy code or personal information (the deposit amount, your postcode, surname and tenancy start date). Bear in mind that your deposit may be protected under three schemes – mydeposits, The Deposit Protection Service or The Dispute Service – and provided you started your tenancy after April 6, 2007, you should be able to find your listing in one these databases.
My deposit is protected! What next?
According to research commissioned by Shelter (a housing and homelessness charity), as many as 57 per cent of tenants are not aware of deposit protection schemes, and with the average deposit in the UK now costing as much as £979, that's a lot of money to risk. If you don't receive your deposit back, you could be due compensation of one to three times the value of what you originally paid.
Do I have a right to expect deposit protection?
Check that you have an assured shorthold tenancy, which is a tenancy with limited long-term security that is not regulated by the usual rent controls. Your landlord must notify you that this is the type of lease you're undertaking.
If you paid your deposit after April 6 2012 (or ongoing after April 6 2007) your landlord is legally required to protect your deposit within one of three government schemes within 30 days and give you an update of his having done so. When your tenancy ends, he must return your deposit within 10 days.
I've received less deposit than I paid at the beginning of my tenancy, why?
Landlords should not make deductions for normal wear and tear to their properties; however, they can make reasonable deductions that may include damages, missing items, cleaning and unpaid rent. Even if your landlord has valid reasons for keeping a portion of your deposit, he or she should return the remainder (request receipts or estimates for the items that have been deducted to ensure that the process has been fair).
For more information, read Shelter's guide to tenancy protection schemes for assured shorthold tenancies; take care that this is for tenants living in England and Wales only.
Author: Zoopla.co.uk property news author Robin Stenson provides advice to new tenants on mandatory deposit protection schemes.

Drama to reach its peak with Madhu getting to know about KRK's reality in Angel TV's Madhubala
Angel TV's Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, produced Nautanki Telefilms will reach the peak of its drama when Madhu (Drashti Dhami) will eventually realize that the man she is staying with is not her RK (Vivian Dsena), but the duplicate KRK.
So what makes her arrive at this conclusion?
Well, sources tell us that Madhu will get a faint doubt in her mind about KRK's identity when the man will make excuses to break her fast. Later on, KRK will demand Madhu to get the property papers of the house he got her. And when the duo will be conversing about the house, and on the dreams they have towards their life in that house, Madhu will further realize that the words that RK had earlier told her does not match with the man's thoughts who stays with her now. She will be shocked over certain turn of events that will unfold while this conversation will be on.
Madhu will then recollect the happenings in the house over the last few days, and will come to a strong conclusion that this guy is not her RK. Her pining for the man behind the bars in the jail will also give her a clear indication that he is the real RK.
If sources are to be believed, Madhu will also plot a plan to force KRK to accept the truth of him not being RK. Meanwhile, RK who is in jail will write a letter telling her the entire truth and will get the letter posted too with the help of a constable in jail.
Will Madhu get the letter written RK? How will she tackle the imposter KRK now?
We tried calling Vivian, but could not get through to him.
Watch this space for more updates.

This is a traditional Iyengar sweet prepared in temples as prasadam. It's a gooey, sweet, rice and lentil based dish very closely resembling sakkara pongal. It is made in a bronze pot on a wood stove and is supposedly different from sakkarapongal by the fact that this is cooked entirely in Milk and has a bit more moong dal in it.
I usually go 1:1 on rice and moong dal, since I figured if I'm eating sweet might as well add the proteins in and I like Moong dal, but then for the authentic variety there is half to less ratio of moong dal to rice. Again although I love this, I can barely tell the difference between this and a nicely done sakkarai pongal dripping in ghee, I'm no connoisseur of iyengar cuisine but I have it on good Patti authority that this is the authentic Iyengar recipe ( temple prasadam variety).
I cooked this in the crock pot and it turned out yummy, Just add rice + dal + milk and let it cook on slow, the only problem is milk had to be added a couple of times as it thickens, but boy was it creamy , I was tempted to throw the Jaggery in there but resisted and added the jaggery syrup ( ?) + fried Nuts after the rice dal was cooked , added Ghee and let it cook for an hour more. Very Yummy and less mess. BUT the original recipe calls for stirring in a pot and adding milk as required . Again I don't see much difference in taste but then anything that can be done with minimum effort on my part always tastes better to me 🙂
Rice – 1 cup
Moong dal – 1/2 cup
Milk – 3 cups +
Jaggery – as required ( I'd say 1/2 a cup)
Ghee – 1 spoon
Cashews / Raisins – a handful
Cardamom powder – a pinch
Saffron – a pinch
Extra Milk – another 1/2 cup.
Pachai Kalpooram (Camphor)- 1 pinch(optional)
Wash and drain the rice and dal together. In a heavy pan heat a bit of ghee on a medium flame. Add the rice and dal and fry till it's slightly roasted. Add Milk and cook stirring occasionally. Keep adding more milk as it becomes thicker. and the rice and lentil is completely soft .
Take a separate pan and add jaggery in it with a wee bit of water and boil. when it's completely melted and boiling , add it to the rice dal mixture. and mix well.
Add cardamom , saffron soaked in milk , Heat 1 table-spoon ghee and fry the cashews till golden and add to the Rice,dal,jaggery dish. Dissolve edible camphor in water and add a few drops to the dish.
- The Pachai kalpooram ( camphor) is the edible kind, definitely no the kind you light up .
- Camphor is added in very very minute quantities, always dissolved in water and a few drops added or else it has a nasty aftertaste.

BAWDY BARD Twelfth Night
Stirling: MacRobert Arts Centre, Sat
0 Jul. .
If you think the world of Finbar Saunders is a long way from that of Shakespeare, you need to talk to Oliver Gray of Illyria urgently. His production of Shakespeare's comedy of lust and errors lays its emphasis on the Carry On side of the Bard. Gray explains his differences with the traditional view of Shakespeare: 'If you've ever laughed at the line "that looks like a nice, juicy pear", you may be surprised to find that Shakespeare was saying the same thing all those years ago - there's a huge amount of smutty innuendo.'
The play, which tells of a shipwrecked twin brother and sister, Sebastian and Viola, who, washed up in a strange land, encounter love and
enmity from its noble inhabitants. Almost inevitably, Viola has to disguise herself as a boy, and much sexual misunderstanding follows. The problem, for 20th century audiences, has traditionally been around the character of Malvolio the moralist, who is falsely imprisoned as the result of a prank by the hedonistic pisshead, Sir Toby Belch.
How does Gray resolve the problem? 'Well, he's a Mary Whitehouse figure — we want to laugh at him and see him
The Steamie
Glasgow: Pavilion Theatre, Wed
l4—Thu 22 Jul. Tony Roper's comedy, which locates
four women in the Glasgow laundry of the title on a Hogmanay night in the 505, is, along with John Byrne's The Slab Boys, perhaps the most durable play of this generation. First produced in 1987, this revival follows much international and national acclaim. What's the secret?
Barbara Rafferty, who plays Margit, a middle-aged woman with a husband who is characteristically drunk before the bells, thinks that the authenticity of Roper's representation of the women of the period is at the heart of the play. 'I remember these women, they're like the women in my family at the time. Women didn't have the political power they do now, so they had to fight really hard to get any
recognition. So people say it's very funny, and it is, but it's
also quite moving.'
For all that, the play is no feminist diatribe, but rather a quiet recognition of the role of women in this society. Rafferty emphasises the humour of the piece, and its use of popular song. In part, much of the joy of the play comes

suffer. Only at the very end do we see him as human, and that leaves us with a few questions. The critics see, this play as grim, they talk about references to Autumn in the play, but I counted five, while there's over 150 references to sex.' Point taken. Illyria will take this production to the Fringe, so it's a first chance to see what looks like following their The Tempest of two years ago with another success.

from its sense of throwback to older popular forms. 'There was no fourth wall in those days,' says Rafferty. 'The audience were there to instruct you if you were rotten, we don't expect that in the theatre now, of course, but it's that kind of play.' So don't heckle, but go and remember what it was like when you could. (Steve Cramer)

The hydraulic behavior of a rock material structure is a major feature for its design and safety assessment. Similar to all other physical prob-lems, in order to enclose the governing equations systems and achieve a solution, the hydraulic characteristics of these materials need to be determined experimentally and implemented then into adopted thermo-dynamical models. This paper covers the process of the design, con-struction and operation of an experimental rig built for this specific purpose. Using the constructed large-scale permeameter, tests have been conducted. The non-linear hydraulic behavior of various materials under extreme turbulent conditions, where Reynolds number reaches un-precedented values, has not been studied before. Preliminary results are presented and discussed.
In this study, two major internal erosion initiation processes, suffusion and concentrated leak mechanisms, which lead to both defect formation in a dam's body and its foundation and high throughflow in dams subjected to internal erosion were studied. This understanding has the potential to facilitate numerical modelling and expedite dam safety assessment studies.
The throughflow properties of coarse rockfill material were studied by; analysing filed pump test data, performing extensive laboratory experiments with a large-scale apparatus and numerically simulating the three-dimensional flow through coarse rock materials, replicating the material used in the laboratory experiments.
Results from the tests demonstrate that the parameters of the nonlinear momentum equation of the flow depend on the Reynolds number for pore Reynolds numbers lower than 60000.
Numerical studies were also carried out to conduct numerical experiments. By applying a Lagrangian particle tracking method, a model for estimating the lengths of the flow channels in the porous media was developed. The shear forces exerted on the coarse particles in the porous media were found to be significantly dependent on the inertial forces of the flow.
Suffusion and concentrated leak mechanisms were also studied by means of laboratory experiments to develop a theoretical framework for continuum-based numerical modelling. An erosion apparatus was designed and constructed with the capability of applying hydraulic and mechanical loading. Results were then used to develop constitutive laws of the soil erosion as a function of the applied hydromechanical load for both suffusion and concentrated leak mechanisms. Both the initiation and mass removal rate of were found to be dependent on the soil in-situ stresses.
A three-dimensional electrical-resistivity-based tomography method was also adopted for the internal erosion apparatus and was found to be successful in visualising the porosity evolution due to suffusion.

''The January Man'' is well titled. It's a big-budget mainstream production that, in spite of its first-rate writer, director and cast, manages to fail in just about every department. It couldn't have stood up to the competition from the slightly less bad films released in December.
The film is a comedy-melodrama set in Manhattan, with a plot only its co-producer, Norman Jewison (the director of ''Moonstruck''), could comprehend. It's about an eccentric cappuccino-drinking fireman (Kevin Kline) who fights fires actually filmed in Toronto and who, before he became a fireman, was a successful police detective.
It's also about the fireman's former girlfriend (Susan Sarandon), now married to the city's police commissioner (Harvey Keitel), who is the fireman's brother. Are you taking notes?
The police commissioner is the chief whipping boy of the Mayor (Rod Steiger), whose daughter (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) falls in love with the fireman when he rejoins the force to track down a serial killer.
John Patrick Shanley wrote the screenplay. Mr. Shanley, who received an Oscar for his ''Moonstruck'' script, knows Manhattan well and might have had something more satiric in mind than what is now on the screen. The movie is a commonplace cartoon. Mr. Steiger has some genuinely funny moments as the Mayor, especially when confronting Mr. Keitel's possibly crooked police commissioner.
I emphasize the ''possibly'' because the movie is full of dark references that are either undeveloped or unexplained. Miss Sarandon has no role to act, but at least her hair is comic. It's styled in that terribly discreet, understated fashion favored by the female members of classy Manhattan groups that meet once a month to read Proust aloud.
Perhaps that's seeing more in one head of hair than was ever intended, but ''The January Man'' is that sort of movie. It invites the mind to wander. Though Mr. Steiger's hair may well be his own, it looks like the last remnants of Mary's lamb. Miss Mastrantonio's hair hangs exuberantly free.
Pat O'Connor, the director (''Stars and Bars,'' ''A Month in the Country,'' ''Cal''), has imposed no risible order on this minor chaos, nor has he been kind to Mr. Kline. He allows this very gifted comic actor to work so hard trying to be funny that one alternately sweats and cringes while watching him.
''The January Man'' opens today at the National and other theaters. PUTTING OUT FIRES WITH CAPPUCCINO - THE JANUARY MAN, directed by Pat O'Connor; written by John Patrick Shanley; director of photography, Jerzy Zielinski; editor, Lou Lombardo; music by Marvin Hamlisch; production designer, Philip Rosenberg; produced by Norman Jewison and Ezra Swerdlow; released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
