Summer can be awesome: No more heavy coats and bulky boots. The sun shines, the plants are green and the sky is blue. But if you're like me, it's hard to enjoy it while you're mopping your dripping brow with your forearm and ruining yet another blouse with copious amounts of sweat. Then: Hello heat wave.
My mom barely sweats. If she works out really hard, she will exclaim, in an excited and shocked voice, "I'm perspiring!" But water oozes from my pores all the damn time. Doing dishes with hot water: Sweat. Walking up a flight of stairs: Sweat. I sweat in my sleep; when I wake up, the collar of my pajama top is damp. In the winter, my feet get cold, so I put on thick socks and boots, and then my feet sweat and everything gets cold and damp and I get scared I'm gonna get trench foot.
The worst part of it all? I am haunted by the concept that it's just not ladylike. I know, I know. Who cares? Well I care. I want to look composed, dammit, not like I've just completed a triathlon (unless, I have, in fact, completed a triathlon). I'm always trying to figure out what kinds of fabrics I should be wearing. The ones that don't breathe are the worst, obviously, but sometimes the ones that do breathe — thin cotton T-shirts, let's say — are also awful, because every single steaming droplet of moisture shows up. I do not want to walk into the office with huge sticky wet spots on my back and under my bra. My sister is similarly afflicted, and refuses to wear tops that are snug around the arm due to the pit-stain factor. Sometimes I will wear a cardigan over a tank top even though that's hotter just because I know a cardigan can hide unsightly, soaking-wet patches of sweat on my back.
I might have hyperhidrosis. I'm not sure. But when I read about it, it doesn't seem like a correct diagnosis. I do not have "unexplained sweating." I sweat at appropriate times — when it's a bit humid or when i exert myself ever so slightly. It's just that I sweat a lot. Dry, desert heat is not so bad. But humidity. Christ. It's like every single pore of my skin shuts down, freaks out, and begins expelling fluids as fast as it can. Rivulets of sweat run from my head, alongside my temples, down my back and in my cleavage. My hair clings to the back of my neck and pools form under my eyes. It is, in a word, gross. I try to calm my mind and think cool, zen thoughts. A penguin meditates on an ice floe. A polar bear eats a Klondike bar in an igloo. I imagine a world that is still and cold and quiet. And then the subway comes and I get on and swab myself with a handkerchief. Pretty.
Dudes who sweat a lot may have similar issues, but the "sweaty man" is a familiar trope. They're everywhere — Gatorade commercials, middle school dances, particularly grueling boardroom meetings. But women are not supposed to sweat. Women are supposed to glow, or glisten, and possibly fan themselves with an open palm (or a ladylike fan) in a gentle mockery of the heat. Plus, if you have things under control, if you're competent and professional, you say things like "no sweat." Yet here I am, a woman who sweats big splashy puddles. Gah. It sucks. And whatever you do, don't hug me in sympathy. I'm sticky and disgusting.

-- Concept Workbench --
This topic is dedicated to putting out ideas and concept art related to any level art asset or object. If you have questions regarding how something will work in the game, this is not the topic for it -- please post those questions in the General Project Thread. As always, please direct any non-relevant concerns or complaints to myself via PM so I can work to resolve them with you personally.
Due to the many questions I've received about moving beyond HTZ for art and concepts for the rest of the game's zones, I've decided to create a centralized, open thread to field them. If there's a certain level asset you've had ideas surrounding, or a visual concept you've kept stashed away, this is your opportunity to present it and have it be discussed.

Not sure if these had been linked here yet, but the same video creators have had other videos linked here before. Maybe they are .net users for all I know.
Anyway, I liked both of these. I also liked a point made in the 2nd video, that 2012 is the beginning of a new era in football. I think he meant that specifically regarding Seattle, but I'd argue it's true for the entire league. 2012 was the year the NFL unabashedly embraced the idea of melding with the college game, something that Seattle can proudly say they helped pioneer.

Pantone Announces Fashion Color Report Fall 2012
Designers skillfully balance versatile neutrals with bold, spirited hues to showcase the magic of color
CARLSTADT, N.J., Feb. 9, 2012 – Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT), and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today unveiled the PANTONE® Fashion Color Report Fall 2012, a comprehensive overview of designers' use of color in their upcoming collections. Released on the first day of New York Fashion Week, the PANTONE Fashion Color Report features the top 10 colors for women's and men's fashion for fall 2012, along with designer sketches, quotes and headshots. The report is available for free download at www.pantone.com/fall2012
"By playing to consumers' practical side with versatile neutrals, and boosting their confidence with bold, spirited hues, this skillfully balanced palette has something for everyone," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.
The top colors for women's fashion for fall 2012 are:
PANTONE 19-4056 Olympian Blue
PANTONE 17-1463 Tangerine Tango
PANTONE 18-5338 Ultramarine Green
PANTONE 17-4014 Titanium
PANTONE 15-1142 Honey Gold
PANTONE 18-2133 Pink Flambé
PANTONE 16-3817 Rhapsody
PANTONE 14-1506 Rose Smoke
PANTONE 19-1012 French Roast
PANTONE 14-0445 Bright Chartreuse
The top colors for men's fashion for fall 2012 are:
PANTONE 19-1012 French Roast
PANTONE 19-4056 Olympian Blue
PANTONE 15-1142 Honey Gold
PANTONE 17-1463 Tangerine Tango
PANTONE 18-5338 Ultramarine Green
PANTONE 17-4014 Titanium
PANTONE 19-1652 Rhubarb
PANTONE 14-0445 Bright Chartreuse
PANTONE 16-3304 Sea Fog
PANTONE 12-0304 Whitecap Gray
From love potions and the magical hour of sunset to witches and warlocks, fantasy and illusion are inspiring designers this fall season. With an unexpected mix of darks, brights and neutrals, they cleverly manipulate reality to transport consumers to an enchanting place, free from the stresses of everyday life.
As the season transitions from the heat of summer, Bright Chartreuse, a vital yellow-green, pays homage to a typical spring shade and creates a bridge into the cooling days of fall. Reminiscent of bright green foliage, it provides a perfect accent to every color in the palette.
Like the name implies, Pink Flambé is a delicious, vibrant pink with a bit of heat to it. Pair it with vivacious and enticing Tangerine Tango for an ongoing retro feeling. Or, to bring a calming element to the mix, combine these vibrant warm tones with Ultramarine Green, a deep, cooling blue-green. Ethereal Rhapsody is a grayed-down purple that also encourages comfort and serenity with its quiet, muted tone.
Honey Gold, a mellow, burnished yellow, suggests the soft-muted tones of sunlight to brighten a fall day. Pair it with sensible and strong Olympian Blue, a patriotic blue that will surely make its way into fall and winter athletic apparel.
Rich and robust, French Roast is a tasty, sophisticated hue that is a great alternative to the black and charcoal basics typically worn in the fall. Other staple neutrals include elegant and versatile Titanium, the quintessential cool gray, and Rose Smoke, a veiled rose tone that pairs well with Rhapsody and Titanium.
Similar to this season's palette for women, there is something for everyone in the top color selections for men. Rhubarb, a deep, pungent hue, brings intensity to the palette, and is best paired with Tangerine Tango and Honey Gold for a collegiate look. To hit the ski slopes in style, combine Ultramarine Green with Bright Chartreuse and Olympian Blue for the ultimate in winter athletic apparel.
Moving from the vibrant tones of fall to more neutral basics, Whitecap Gray is a classic off-white, reminiscent of an overturning wave under a winter sky. Sea Fog, a gray with a muted purple cast, exudes just the right amount of confidence and masculinity. Pair these two neutrals with the strength of Titanium for a subtle and sophisticated direction. Combine all three neutrals in a dress shirt or tie with basic, versatile French Roast for a classic fall look.
The colors featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report are culled from the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, the most widely used and recognized color standards system in the world. Each season, Pantone surveys the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to collect feedback on prominent collection colors, color inspiration and color philosophy. This information is used to create the PANTONE Fashion Color Report, which serves as a reference tool throughout the year for fashion enthusiasts, reporters and retailers.

How Standing Desks Can Help You Focus and Perform Better at WorkSep 17, 2015 2:00:59 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Recent medical research has proven that prolonged sitting can be as detrimental to an adult's health as smoking. It's been found that sitting for extended periods of time is a contributing factor in the development of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. In fact, a recent study at the Texas A&M Health Science Center concluded that students who used a standing desk became more attentive in class in contrast to those who merely sat. Regardless of whether you're a student or a professional in an office setting, the benefits that standing desks can have for your productivity and health may surprise you.
The Texas A&M study examined 300 Texas schoolchildren over a 12-month period to compare behavior in classrooms between students who used standing desks and students who used regular desks. In the fall and spring, researchers designated an engagement figure for each student, which was calculated by finding an average for their number of on-task as well as off-task behaviors, during each classroom session. The study found that overweight students in particular benefited from standing desks. They were more focused during classroom sessions and burned up to 15 percent more calories during a single school week. Despite these results, most students lack access to standing workstations.
Cost serves as a primary barrier as standing desks can require a $500 investment for a single desk. Moreover, traditional desks and chairs in schools were actually designed more for the janitors benefit. They were designed so that janitors could stack them seamlessly, not for optimizing student performance.
Researchers believe that this is a potentially huge failing for the educational system, which will have repercussions down the line both in terms of academic achievement and the overall health of students. On the other hand, the benefits of standing workstations can translate beyond schools and into corporate work environments, as well. This is an environment where similar emphasis has been placed on control and maintenance instead of optimizing performance and the health of workers.
Given the findings of the Texas A&M study and the potential practical benefits of using standing desks in schools and work environments, experts believe that more studies will be done on the subject over time.

Enhance Your Health and Productivity with an Adjustable DeskSep 3, 2015 2:04:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you're someone who spends a great deal of time working at a computer, you may be feeling a bit anxious about the effects that this is having on your health and overall productivity. Many workers who spend a lot of time at a computer experience health complications related to their necks, shoulders, wrists and/or backs. To alleviate some of these health risks and simultaneously improve your efficiency, you should consider an ergonomic desk that adjusts to your body type and work style.
With a sit/stand workstation, you have greater control over your posture and how much time you spend standing or sitting. It's imperative to invest in a desk that is the appropriate height so that you can be both comfortable and productive in your work space. In fact, most standard fixed desks in the contemporary marketplace still remain in the standard 28-30" range, which is suited more for the handwriting and paperwork tasks of the past.
Yet, even when computers were integrated into the modern work space, desk height remained the same, despite the fact that it should have changed in terms of ergonomics. The purpose of ergonomics, after all, is to achieve the most comfortable and productive position for workers' bodies, as this reduces the stress and strain inflicted on the muscles and joints.
Height adjustable desks provide companies and their workforces with flexibility, as the desks can be adjusted to meet the needs of a variety of team members. A standard desk can only work for people meeting a certain height requirement, whereas an adjustable office desk can be altered to meet the needs of workers of all sizes.
Yet another weakness of some standard desks is that the chair needed for sitting requires a foot ring, which is often uncomfortable for people to use. This is because there's only one position for the legs on the ring. These foot rings, in addition, often sit too low and lack the necessary width, which forces users to place excess pressure on their backs and necks. On the other hand, an adjustable office desk provides workers with the support and flexibility they need to excel in their roles while helping to protect their overall health.
To experience the many benefits of working at an adjustable desk, view our selection now.
Ergonomics MythsAug 20, 2015 2:00:51 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Ergonomics has become a hot-button topic over the last few decades, and that means it has also been open to a lot of myths. People are oftentimes loathe to accept change and the use of office ergonomics is one change that some people have yet to accept, despite the research that suggests its importance.
Common Myths:
One rumor or myth about ergonomics is that its study only deals with preventing major injuries not caused by normal office work. But the truth is that the standard proceeding of any desk job can lead to long term health problems and excessive sitting has become a major health concern in the United States.
While working, your posture should be added to your list of concerns, and doctors advise that you sit as close to your desk as possible while typing or doing other activities. You should also sit with your upper arms parallel to your spine and your lower arms perpendicular. This promotes a healthy posture that significantly improves circulation to your whole body. You should make sure that you have proper back support, as well, and a chair with ample lumbar support is key. The use of adjustable standing desks is also recommended, which can help with circulation in the legs, improve mood, reduce your risk of a whole host of diseases and promote greater work productivity.
Another circulating myth is that ergonomics are only a concern in the office environment. What studies have shown, however, is that the poorer the average person's posture is at work, the worse it is at home. You probably relax much more when you're sprawled out in your living room and generally ignoring your posture, but your posture should be one of your primary concerns even when you're relaxing in front of the television. The truth is this is an issue that exists outside of the work place, as well.
One solution that's considered to be a wise investment for overall long-term health is purchasing office or computer furniture that is ergonomically tested to promote a healthy and active working environment. A lot of office managers and owners are turned off by the option, because there's a myth that ergonomic furniture is expensive, but investing in quality ergonomic furniture for your staff can improve productivity and reduce the amount of time and money that's lost to workers' poor posture related injuries. An adjustable desk, for example, encourages workers to stand up and work at their computers for as much of the day as possible. In the long-run, quality computer furniture will save your business money.
Now that you know the truth about ergonomics, take a minute to browse the selection of standing desks and ergonomic chairs in the Biomorph collection.
If You Have to Sit, Do So In the Healthiest Way PossibleAug 6, 2015 10:14:57 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Even if you think that the desk chair in your office is quite comfortable, sitting for long periods of time could still be causing permanent damage to your back, shoulders,and other parts of your body.
Most people think that sitting in a desk chair is the most comfortable way to work, but in fact, it can be painfully uncomfortable
due to ergonomic issues. Sitting too much during the work day is currently considered one of the greatest health issues in the United States because of the number of people it affects and the degree to which it can influence ones health.
What does this mean?
The way you work should be reconsidered: with minor adjustments you may be able to sit comfortably all day long, avoid painful diseases, such as arthritis, and improve your mood.
If You Must Sit...
First of all, try to stand up at work as much as possible, whether that means standing at an adjustable desk or walking to the break room. Whenever you're seated, make sure that you're doing so in an ergonomic computer chair.
It's also important that, whether standing or sitting, you make sure you are
maintaining a healthy posture.
When sitting, you should sit as close as possible to the desk with your upper arms parallel to your spine and url lower arms perpendicular. Your hands should be resting on the work surface comfortably. You should be able to adjust your desk higher or lower until your elbows achieve an optimal 90 degrees. Your knees should also be bent at a 90 degree angle, despite the short term comfort of kicking up your heels. You should practice maintaining this posture for as long as possible, and stand up to stretch when you find yourself getting uncomfortable.
Standing is Best !
It is strongly recommended that you also have an adjustable work desk, which allows you to stand up and work for at least part of the day.
This allows you to not only develop a keen awareness of your posture, but there are also studies that suggest
workers achieve greater efficiencywhen they are standing up.
Standing up also prevents ankle swelling, something that even otherwise healthy people can suffer from when they sit for long periods of time. Swelling can occur simply from sitting in a chair that is higher than optimal, and that's why an adjustable standing desk is an attractive option. Of course, when paired with one of the best ergonomic office chairs on the market, it's an even more effective work set-up.

Sluggish, Unhappy Employees Aren't Good For Any Business' Bottom-lineJul 16, 2015 8:49:19 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
When choosing the computer workstation furniture for their offices, not enough employers consider how their employees' posture will affect the business' bottom-line. Instead, too many business owners only think about how the furniture they buy will influence their bottom-line and, thus, look for furniture with the lowest price tags possible.
But, if more employers took the time to consider how sitting for extended periods of time kills employees' work productivity and negatively affects moods, they would realize that investing in standing desks and ergonomic chairs is a totally worthwhile business decision.
Sitting Drains Energy & Affects Productivity
A study conducted in support of the Take-a-Stand Project showed that workers feel more energetic and productive when they're not sitting at a desk all day. Poor posture can make you feel uncomfortable and sluggish, which means you will spend more time fidgeting in your chair or trying to focus than you will actually working on the task at hand. If you want to avoid that afternoon slump where everyone's productivity tanks, provide your staff with standing desks that allow them to easily change their position throughout the day.
Less Sitting Promotes a Happier Workplace
In a study out of the University of Tasmania, on the psychological impacts of sitting all day, researchers found that workplaces where employees didn't sit for longer than three hours each day had lower rates of anxiety and depression. It goes without saying that both of these bi-products of prolonged sitting can and do affect work productivity and can lead to greater numbers of sick days, too. If this is the case and all that's needed to create a happier, healthier workplace is a change in computer workstation furniture, it seems like switching to standing desks should be a fairly obvious business decision.
If you're ready to improve productivity levels and the overall mood at your workplace, take a minute to browse the selection of Biomorph standing desks. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or would like to learn more about a particular product.
Sitting for Long Periods of Time Can Negatively Affect the Body from Head to Toe. Here's HowJul 7, 2015 8:47:00 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Few people who work at desks all day haven't heard that their seated posture is killing them.
May seem like an exaggeration, but the truth is that without a standing desk and ergonomic chairs that promote healthy work postures, you are, in fact, negatively affecting your overall health. And, while most people are aware of the fact that sitting isn't good for them, few know how poor posture actually influences their health.
The Brain
When you sit in an unhealthy posture for long periods of time, blood clots can form and,
if they travel to the brain,they can cause a stroke.
The Neck
Believe it or not, fluid that builds in the legs while you're sitting for long periods of time can travel up to the neck at night,
when you're lying down, and exacerbate an existing sleep apnea problem.
The Heart & Lungs
The Heart:
Sitting for long periods of time and not getting enough exercise are often contributing factors for heart disease.
The Lungs:
For people who have heart attacks, fluid collects in the lungs first.
This is similar to how fluid build in the legs, after sitting for long periods of time, and then travels to the neck.
The Arms:
An active lifestyle that doesn't include sitting for extended periods of time can help reduce the risks of hypertension and high blood pressure. Poor posture also contributes to a variety of repetitive-stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
The Stomach
Because the enzymes that are required to burn fat lie in blood vessels that can be shut off because of prolonged sitting zoloft, there's a higher risk of obesity. Colon cancer is another serious repercussion of a sedentary lifestyle.
The Legs:
When you sit for long periods of time, fluid builds in the legs which, as I've noted above, can travel to other parts of the body and cause serious problems.
As you can see, spending a great deal of time sitting does, in fact, have a negative effect on the whole body. Incorporating more movement in your day, via a standing desk, and maintaining the best possible posture when you are seated, via ergonomic chairs, is the absolute best way to prevent these potentially serious health issues.

Poor Posture is Wreaking Havoc on Your BodyJun 23, 2015 2:00:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
You may already be feeling the general aches and pains of working at a computer all day, but it's important to take steps to avoid the potentially serious physical injuries that are so commonly related to poor posture and desk use. Unless you're using an adjustable desk and have sourced the best ergonomic chair for your physical and occupational needs, there's a good chance you're lacking in the good posture department.
You may start out sitting up straight, with feet firmly planted on the floor, arms bent at the elbows and resting comfortably at your sides, but as you get caught up in what you're working on, it's easy to forget about posture and, before you know it, you're slouched over your computer keyboard and your muscles, joints and productivity pay the price.
These are some of the most common posture related injuries sustained by computer users, like yourself:
Hand & Arm Repetitive Stress Injuries
Using the same muscles and tendons in your hands, arms and elbows, day in day out, can certainly take its toll. Add poor posture to repeatedly using those same parts of the body and you can wind up with stiffness, aching and even numbness. Here are some ways to alleviate the stress put on your hands and arms while working at a computer:
- don't pound on the keyboard but type as lightly as you can
- try to avoid long stretches of typing to give your hands and arms a break
- keep your computer mouse at the same height as your keyboard (and make sure your keyboard is in the best possible position for good posture)
- move the mouse using your whole arm, not just your wrist
Shoulder, Back & Neck Pain/Injury
Combine sitting for long periods of time with a less-than-ideal workstation and bad posture and you're setting yourself up for neck, back and shoulder strain. With poor posture comes poor circulation, which can cause muscles, joints and tendons to become stiff and sore.
Above all else, working at an adjustable desk with the best ergonomic chair for the task at hand is the way to minimize stress on these parts of the body. Add regular movement and stretching to a workstation that's designed to promote good posture and you will be well on your way to a healthy, more productive way of working.
Take a major step as far as your health is concerned and improve your workstation once and for all. Browse the selection of high quality office furniture from Biomorph now and find the adjustable desk and ergonomic chair that are missing from your office clomid.
Adopt Healthy Habits for Working at a DeskJun 4, 2015 2:00:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
For many of us, working at a computer for several hours each day is a job requirement that's not about to change any time soon. The problem, however, with sitting for long periods of time at work and then adding to our daily sit count when we commute and watch TV in the evenings is that it takes a toll on our health.
Perhaps you've already experienced some of the negative effects of sitting, such as aches and pains in various parts of your body. Or, maybe statements made by medical researchers that include sitting is just as bad for your health as smoking are enough to have you looking for some ways to make your work habits a little healthier.
Today's post includes some healthy work habits that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine and that will not only help to minimize the effects of long-term sitting
but also improve productivity!
Re-evaluate Your Workstation
Many people would think it's a stretch to say that their computer furniture is killing them, but research shows sitting at a desk puts
people at a higher risk for a whole host of health problems, while poor posture takes its toll on your body and reduces work productivity. By simply switching to a sit stand workstation, where your desk can be easily adjusted to allow you to stand while you work for at least some of the day, you can dramatically reduce your risk and improve productivity.
Standing keeps your muscles active and your mind alert while also helping with circulation.
Break from Sitting, Wherever & Whenever Possible
Even if you own a sit stand workstation and are actively incorporating more standing time into your day, it's important for you to take regular breaks and to make a point of moving your body. Instead of emailing your co-worker whose office is down the hall, get up and walk to ask them a question.
Take a few minutes to stretch out your legs, arms, neck and shoulders. Eat lunch in a place other than your desk, and if possible, get outside whenever you can more.
Watch What You Eat & Drink
Throughout the work day, drink plenty of water and avoid the sugary beverages that are full of empty calories and will only send you into an afternoon slump.
Keep healthy snacks on hand, as it's easy to overeat while you're focused on something other than what you're putting in your mouth.
Add Exercise to Your Day
While adopting movement-friendly computer furniture and moving more throughout the day will help reduce your risk of injury and other health issues, getting regular exercise is also a great way to improve your productivity.
Start your day with a brisk walk or run, attend a fitness class or head to the gym.
It's time to do something positive for your health and your work productivity! Upgrade your computer furniture to a
sit stand workstation that's capable of keeping your body active and your mind sharp.

Shopping for an Ergonomic Office Chair? Select the Best Possible Chair for Your NeedsMay 21, 2015 2:00:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
In addition to an adjustable desk, choosing to buy an ergonomic office chair is one of the best decisions you can make for your health and productivity, if you're one of the many people around the world who work at a desk for several hours each day. Knowing how to choose between the ergonomic desk chairs that are available, however, may be a little less obvious. Today's post will provide some helpful pointers that are meant to simplify your search.
Why It's Important to Find the Right Ergonomic Office Chair
When you sit for extended periods of time in the wrong chair, it doesn't take long for small aches and stiffness to evolve into more serious and even permanent injuries. People who sit in poorly designed chairs instead of quality ergonomic desk chairs are more susceptible to circulation problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and the list goes on. Taking the time to find the best ergonomic chair for your specific work needs will pay off in more ways than one both now and in the future.
What to Look for in a Desk Chair
Above all else, you want a chair that allows you to adjust its various parts or components. The more you're able to customize your chair to suit your size and shape, the more comfortable and productive the workspace.
The Height of the Seat: You need to be able to plant your feet firmly on the floor, with your legs bent at a 90̊ angle at the knees.
The Depth of the Seat: When a chair is too deep, it can restrict circulation in your legs. Ideally, you want to be able to fit your fist between the back of your calf and the front edge of the seat. Some ergonomic desk chairs will allow you to adjust the seat depth by moving the backrest forward or backward.
Back Support: Back support, and specifically lumbar support, is crucial in a quality desk chair. You should look for a chair with a lumbar support that can be made to fit snuggly into the curve of your back, reducing the opportunity for you to slump forward in your seat.
Adjustable Recline: Look for a chair that will allow you to adjust the recline on the backrest so that you can shift your weight in the seat for optimal comfort.
Armrests that Move: It's important that you be able to move the armrests up or down so that no matter the height of your work surface, your arms can be kept at a 90̊ angle and the palms of your hands can rest on the work surface.
Of course, an ergonomic chair that's paired with a poorly designed desk or table will limit the effectiveness of your workstation. For the best possible work set-up, a carefully selected ergonomic chair paired with an adjustable desk is the way to go.

Work Productivity & Health Don't Just Improve When You Stand Rather than Sit - Movement MattersMay 12, 2015 2:00:00 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
There's a great deal of well-supported research demonstrating how health and work productivity dramatically improve when people spend less time sitting in chairs. Standing desks, like those in our line of premium, ergonomic office furniture, allow users to adjust their workstations, thereby reducing the number of hours they spend seated each day. But the key to better health and improved efficiency isn't just about standing while you work - it's about moving.
You're probably thinking that it would be nearly impossible for you to incorporate more movement into your day if you work at a computer and are expected to get anything done. In actuality, however, there are several clever ways you can not only limit the amount of time you spend sitting by converting your adjustable office desk to the standing position, but also increase the amount of moving you do, while you work.
Schedule Time with Your Adjustable Office Desk
Even those with an adjustable office desk can lose track of time and forget to adjust their desk and change their position. By simply scheduling time to stand, you can incorporate more movement into your day. Some people set alarms on their smart phones or use other helpful devices like the Wellness Switch, which reminds you when to stand and tracks the number of minutes you spend standing. This switch will even tell you how many calories you burned at the end of each day.
Move When You Stand to Work
Instead of just standing still while using your adjustable office desk (which can be just as uncomfortable as sitting for long periods of time), take the opportunity to stretch and move your legs. Knee bends, shifting your weight back and forth, swaying and even rolling your shoulders are all good ways to incorporate a little more movement while you work.
Pair Standing Desks with 'Active' Seats
Believe it or not, there are actually chairs and stools available that allow you to easily maintain movement and optimal posture while you sit at your desk. The Saddle Stool from Humanscale, for instance, keeps muscles engaged and active while you're seated. Moving from side to side at your workstation also helps to maintain circulation in your legs and keeps you alert.
If you're ready to reduce the health risks associated with the way you work and are looking to step up your productivity, start adding more movement to your work day. To begin, equip your workspace with an adjustable office desk that gets you up out of your seat and working from a more comfortable and healthful position. For information on what you'll need for a more active way to work, please call us: (888) 302-DESK.

U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Friday said that she and other members of the bipartisan Congressional delegation to Copenhagen spoke with American business leaders and colleagues in the European Parliament abut the House passed clean energy bill.
"Our bipartisan delegation, which includes 21 Members of the House, has held two days of highly productive meetings and discussions during our visit to the Copenhagen climate meeting. This morning, our delegation discussed responses to the climate crisis with representatives of many of the leading American companies, including such innovators as Google, Honeywell and Whirlpool," Pelosi explained. "These business leaders informed us that their businesses are thriving in the fields of energy efficiency and green technologies. They stressed that the funding provided by the Congress through our Recovery Package has been crucial to their making the investments that are producing jobs for Americans and new products that promote energy efficiency, specifically smart grid technology."
She noted that representatives of the European Council of Ministers explained that their various countries have not only complied with carbon reduction mandates but have simultaneously achieved economic growth and job creation through new clean energy technologies.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Kills by Caroline Jordan and Joy Hart lifted MIT to an 18-16 win in the fifth game of a thrilling 30-26, 29-31, 30-24, 23-30, 18-16 victory over NEWMAC foe Wellesley College last night. It was the first time in two years Wellesley had lost at the Keohane Sports Fitness Center.
Joy Hart led the Engineers (6-2, 1-0 NEWMAC) with 17 kills and added four aces and 13 digs. Arlis Reynolds contributed seven kills, four aces, and 12 digs while Caroline Jordan had eight kills, three aces, 12 digs, and four assisted blocks. Austin Zimmerman totaled a team-best 16 digs and notched 10 kills and 46 assists. Frances Rogoz and Ellen Sojka combined for 17 kills while Carrie Buchanan tallied 11 digs.
Tonight MIT hosts Tufts University in a non-conference match at 7:00 p.m. in Rockwell Cage.

Dr. James Andrews, the renowned surgeon who serves as Washington's team doctor, says quarterback Robert Griffin III is making great progress in his recovery from major knee surgery last month.
"We've got him well on his way," Andrews told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. "He is an unbelievable athlete as you well know. His recovery is way ahead of schedule so far. We don't have to do much but try to hold him back, if you want to know the truth. Our whole mode for him, though, is to do what is best for his career, not necessarily what is best for the first game next season. So all of that has to be put on hold and let him get well."
We seem to have reached a point where almost every NFL player is described as "ahead of schedule" when he's rehabbing in the offseason, just as almost every NFL player's surgery is described as a success. (And it seems that no NFL player is ever told, "You got butchered.")
But Andrews cautioned that there's still a lot of work for Griffin to do before he's cleared to return. And Andrews wants Griffin to take things slowly.
Furthermore, Andrews added that he's worried that high school and college players who see how quickly Adrian Peterson recovered a year ago, and are now seeing how quickly Griffin seems to be recovering, might set unrealistic expectations for how quickly they can return from ACL injuries, and that young players might aggravate their own injuries while trying to emulate their favorite players.
In other words, everyone needs to remember that reconstructive knee surgery is a very big deal. And even if Griffin is ahead of schedule a month after surgery, he still has a long way to go.

Bloomington Schools transform learning with the help of G Suite and Chromebooks
In an effort to prepare students for future success, Bloomington Public Schools wanted to reach them all through a sustainable 1:1 environment. BPS also hoped to accelerate learning through differentiated instruction and a broader set of learning resources. In 2009, G Suite for Education was introduced via a pilot program, and other teachers were encouraged to use it. The momentum grew organically, and soon BPS recognized the need to roll out more technology tools district-wide.
"Part of our rationale for going 1:1 is to level the playing field so that everyone has the same access to tools for learning."
Sean Beaveron, secondary technology coordinator, Bloomington Public Schools
After the adoption of G Suite for Education, BPS transitioned toward a 1:1 environment. In 2013, BPS launched a new technology plan using Chromebooks. With 1:1, students are becoming content creators. They are collaborating more. And teachers have reaped the benefits, too, by offering a richer learning experience: some teachers created book blogs using Google Sites, so students could blog about what they're reading and share content across sites and even among schools. Chromebooks and G Suite have enabled teachers to offer a more hands-on, flexible approach, and to empower students with tools for learning and collaboration.
"The simplicity means we're getting back teachers' time so they can focus their energy on students."
Katrina Mezera, technology project coordinator, Bloomington Public Schools
Organization Profile
The city of Bloomington, just 12 miles south of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is home to a diverse community of students in 19 public schools. The Bloomington Public Schools (BPS) mission is to develop, in all learners, the ability to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Through flexible learning models, technology-rich environments, and partnerships with local communities, BPA equips students with 21st-century skills and a passion for learning.

Topic: Favorite KotOR Armor
In the awesome game Knights of the Old Republic, there are many different sets of armor that you can equip to your character. Some are better and cooler looking than others. You can post your fave armor from KotOR, except the Mando armors. You can also list the stats of that armor. My favorites are Jamoh Hogra's Battle Armor (Looks pretty dang cool, it has 11 defense, and it still has some flexibility. Also a bonus immunity to critical hits; the only downside is that it costs 10,000 credits....) and Calo Nords Battle Armor (Looks great, it has 9 defense, but if you upgrade it than it has 12 defense AND an immunity to critical hits. Also has immunity to fire, cold, and sonic. And even with all of these amazing powers, it still has good flexibility. Even though you don't have to buy it, it is also 10,000 credits)

FC releases are real releases, fully usable in a production environment. the fact that they are a staging ground does not mean that they are not production-worthy, or have not been tested. it really only means that FC is on a shorter release cycle, and might contain the new puce-and-teal color scheme, which turns out to be a bad idea. beta is short for beta-test, and necessarily means that the testing and resulting behavior has not reached a level which permits release. of course, you may distrust any software's release criteria.

Reflections on Buon Papa Giovanni
I began an eight-year journey (1963-1971) in the seminary (high school and college) during his pontificate and the Council which he convened. Both have had an incredible influence on my life personally, ministerially, academically and professionally. Today, as I found a spot near his tomb under the mosaic of the Death of St. Jerome, I noticed that the candles were lit at the altar [see the photo], reminding us, of course, that today is the Feast of St. Jerome on the Latin calendar. As I prayed the Liturgy of the Hours, however, something else struck me.
Pope John died nearly 50 years ago. Those people who remember him and the events of his papacy (1958-1963) are now getting old (he himself once remarked, when he turned 60, that 60 was the age at which we begin to be old!). But something remarkable has always amazed me, and this visit was no exception. See, after you enter St. Peter's and work your way down the right hand side of the Basilica, the first big gathering spot for tourists is Michelangelo's famous Pieta "just inside" the front door; and now the next big stop is the new tomb of Pope John Paul II. Then you come to the tomb of John XXIII. Here's what amazed me: There were perhaps 200 people admiring the Pieta, and perhaps 100 or so at the tomb of John Paul II. But, in the hour I was there, a steady stream of pilgrims filed by John's tomb. I lost count after a couple of hundred, and the stream kept going. In fact, there were three security guards posted there to keep the crowd moving, quiet and prayerful. The memory of this holy man is still so strong and vibrant nearly 50 years after his death! He was able, in his quiet joy-filled way, to touch the hearts, souls and imaginations of the entire world, and his pastoral leadership style enabled the bishops of the world to rejuvenate the Church at the Council.
As I prepared to leave, I approached one of the security guards and thanked him for his efforts. He smiled and said, "Ah, deacon, good Pope John still lives!" And so he does. . . .

When I led a pilgrimage to Rome in 2005, one of the most memorable stops for my wife and I was on our "free day" (day without the tour guide). We walked through St. Peter's and were most moved by seeing the tomb of John XXIII. What a gift to the Church and the world he was. Hope you have a continued good time in the Eternal City.ReplyDelete
It was in October 2007 when I did the same visit to visit John XXIII but I cannot, right now, remember what we talked about.ReplyDelete
When I do my classes on Vatican II, invariably folks ask me about his personality. I describe him as a "big-huggy-bear"and folks just smile.
Glad to see you back blogging!
Deacon Norb in Ohio
The certificate of John's apostolic blessing, conferred on my future grandparents-in-law and their descendents, now resides over my desk. Like the guard's comment, the blessing is a reminder of what is.ReplyDelete
I am very devoted to "Buon Papa Giovanni," so it made my heart so happy to read this today. Thank you for your witness, of which he clearly has a large influence.ReplyDelete

At the Open: Dow Industrials Fall 100 Points as Shutdown Continues, Companies Furlough Workers
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Stocks continue their slide today as the government shutdown continues and politicians appear set to drag the debt ceiling into the debate.
The S&P 500 has dropped 0.7% to 1,682.30, while the Dow Jones Industrials have fallen 100 points, to 0.7% to 15,033.21.
Nomura's Alastair Newton explains the risks:
Following the impasse over the continuing resolution, we now see a non-negligible possibility that Congress and the Administration will fail to reach agreement on the debt ceiling without there being a technical default first.
The main risk, as we see it, is that moderate Republicans will hold out beyond 17 October to try to head off possible de-selection by the Tea Party in upcoming primaries, even though related attempts to roll back "Obamacare" are doomed.
Nevertheless, even if the deadline (which may now be later than 17 October) for a deal passes, we see only a very low probability of a default on Treasuries.
However, coupled with the impact of the second round of the sequester, pending a resolution we do expect to see:
–A continuing negative impact on business and consumer sentiment in the US;
–Increased market nervousness as the deadline approaches
Even decent jobless claims data wasn't enough to lift stocks this morning. Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson sums up the data and its implications:
The Labor Department issued another healthy and clean claimant count delivering the lowest four-week moving average reading since May 2007. The headline reading of 308,000 claims once again came in below a survey average of 315,000 while prior weekly data was revised up by only 2,000. We continue to wonder quite when the momentum will show up in stronger payrolls – something denied by ADP in its September report and something we are likely to be deprived of on Friday by the government shutdown...
The claims level implies that in a period of rising political uncertainty firms are holding onto workers at a time when the economy outside of Washington appears to be moving ahead with reasonable momentum. In the face of such uncertainty and with lack of clarity on the outlook for the economy such momentum is insufficient to prompt the Fed to commence the tapering process.
Will claims stay that way? Already, manufacturers have started to furlough workers--even if they didn't show up in today's numbers. The Wall Street Journalreports:
The partial shutdown of the federal government is leading to layoffs and production disruptions at defense contractors and some manufacturing companies.
United Technologies Corp. (UTX) said on Wednesday that it is preparing to furlough nearly 2,000 workers at its Sikorsky unit, which makes Black Hawk helicopters for the Defense Department, and may have to idle several thousand more workers at its Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace units if the shutdown drags on for weeks.
United Tech has dropped 0.5% to 104.51, while Boeing (BA) has fallen 0.7% to $116.97, both helping to weight down the Dow.
Over at the S&P 500, HCP (HCP) has dropped 2.8% $40.62, making it the biggest loser in the benchmark, after the healthcare REIT fired its CEO. PVH (PVH), meanwhile, has gained 5.7% to $124.06, making it the S&P 500's biggest winner at 9:48 a.m., after the company said it would sell its GH Bass division.
Texas Industries (TXI) has plunged 7.5% to $61.99 after the construction company said it earned 1 cent a share, below forecasts for 2 cents.

Yad Bhavam Tat Bhavathi
— Gita
Intention is: "to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim." Lacking intention, we sometimes stray without any meaning or direction. But with it, all the forces of the universe can align to make even the most impossible, possible. Anything that we want in our life starts with Intention. It is the starting point of every dream. It is the creative power of the universe that fulfils all our needs and desires, whether it is money, health, relationships, or our own spiritual growth.
Our life is ultimately shaped by our deepest intentions and desires. Everything that happens in the universe begins with an intention. "You are what your deepest desire is. As your desire is, so is your intention. As your intention is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny." Power of Intention is one of the many functions of our Ajna Chakra also known as the Third eye. Intentions are like seeds, they can't grow if you hold on to them. Only when you release your intentions into the fertile depths of your consciousness, can they grow and flourish.
The Power of Intention - You must know what you want. It means that you must really be clear in what you want. The universe cannot deliver without first knowing what it is that you want to manifest into your life. Intend it first. Manifesting a dream begins by setting an intention. Your intentions will assist you in taking greater control of your life. Intention is a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place.
Those who would like to:
Your events, your lives, your experiences, are caused by your present beliefs. Change the beliefs and your life changes.
— Seth
A Belief is a thought that you keep thinking repeatedly. Your beliefs become your reality. Your beliefs create your situations and circumstances. The intensity of a belief is extremely important. For example, if you believe that the people in your life are well meaning, and will treat you kindly, they will. And, if on the other hand you believe that the world is against you, then it will be so in your experience. If you believe that you will begin to deteriorate at 22, then so you shall. And, if you believe that you are poor, and always will be, then your experiences will prove so to you. Your beliefs greet you in the face when you look at the mirror.
Life is full of misery
I am not good enough to attract more money into my life
I am unlovable
I am unworthy etc…
Your beliefs form your image. You cannot escape from your beliefs. They are, however, the means through which you create your experience. You create your own reality every moment, whether you are conscious of it or not. If you are not conscious, you create it out of habit and existing old patterns. You find yourself continuing to act out these patterns because a part of you is still holding on to the familiar behaviour, even though you may recognize its limitations and notice that it doesn't really work for you. It is important here to realize that you are not at the mercy of the unexplainable, that you are not at the mercy of the events over which you have no control, whether those events are psychological or physical in nature.
This workshop will guide you to connect to the very centre of your being and tap into the power of your foundational beliefs. By bringing hidden beliefs into the light of your awareness, you will transform your old, self-sabotaging beliefs into powerful allies for your personal growth and transformation.
Those who would like to:
Success comes from taking the initiative and following up or persisting.
— Tony Robbins
When success is defined by externals, how much money you make, the positions you acquire, your status and power through your career, it is easy to believe that such success is granted to a selected few. But what if success is defined as an inner state? If you turn within, you can be successful this very moment because being successful is a creative process and you are engaged in it already. In other words, true success is something we live; it is not an end stage where we arrive.
Success is sustained when we can embrace the greater energy within us and that is ultimately the energy of love which is also the energy of inspiration, creation, expansion, generosity and joy. So, when you can open yourself up to these forces, the universe inherently begins to co-create with you. What happens is a wondrous, amazing success beyond your biggest dreams.
To manifest success, it first begins with intention. Intention is a force in the Universe. Every Intention has the potentiality to become a physical reality. Every Intention has the organizing power inherent in it. Our goal is to create success from within by using the power of Intention. Manifest Your Success teaches many practical processes to streamline your thoughts, desires, goals, and ultimately your life.
In this workshop you are going to explore and come to know what true success really is, and then, through many practical sessions, you will feel your own powerful ability to manifest true success in every area of your life. You will discover the secrets of making success a joyful and creative process that effortlessly unfolds each day to experience more brilliance, abundance, and prosperity in each moment.
Those who would like to:
We always have the power to heal our life. Claim and consciously use your healing power. Desire to change your dis-ease in life into perfect health.
— Louise L. Hay
Health is the overall condition of a living organism at a given time. It is the soundness of the body, freedom from disease or abnormality, and the condition of optimal well-being. It is when the body is functioning as it was designed to function. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense as "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.
The human body evolved from a single cell organism. Every one of us has the innate ability to experience a healthy body and a peaceful mind. Within each of us lies the capacity to completely return to wholeness. The secret is to live in wholeness now by cultivating a lifestyle that nurtures all aspects of our life – including our physical and emotional health, relationships, success in fulfilling our dreams and desires and our personal growth. Good physical, emotional and mental health is a natural benefit of self-healing.
Healing is any modality or method that brings our system closer to a perfect state of alignment and balance, free of the impediments to the free flow of life energy. We are then connected with the information to and from the Source field. Healing is a return to this fullness and reclaims the territory of open living. When we live a life rich in these moments of connectedness, we know happiness despite changes in the winds of fortune.
Creating Perfect Health helps you to learn and practice Self-Healing principles to achieve a state of perfect health with a total mind-body healing experience and you understand that the key to total health lies within. In this workshop, you will not only feel pampered and revitalized—you will also learn tools and techniques that you can immediately use to cultivate a good physical health and emotional well-being when you return home.

Welcome, I should probably start explaining my game. I am a cycling obsessive, i follow all kinds of races and riders but of course become biased for teams/riders. As much as my blog may sometimes seem to point otherwise, I do have a good knowledge of cycling and can hold my own in a debate, but I chose to approach the more humerous side of it, and have no qualms admitting I'm also a fangirl. I'm female, it's hard to not notice that these guys are often good looking muscular guys in tight clothing with pretty bikes. So be warned.
I have my favourite riders which as it stands (for better or worse) are Valverde, Pereiro, the Schlecks, LL Sanchez, Contador, Sammy Sanchez and most Spaniards, Bennati, Boonen, Taylor Phinney, Eisel, Lovkvist, Wiggins, Rogers, Hincapie, DZ, many of the Garmin boys, Cancellara, Lequatre, Fleeman, Millar, Kenny, JA Flecha, Basso, Capecchi, De la Fuente, etc etc. The favourites tend to crop up lots if you need a more in-depth list.
I welcome all, but apologise for my lack of languages. I only speak English and very poor German, but welcome everyone :]

I also have facebook/msn, just ask.

For International Applicants
Simmons welcomes applications from international students. Faculty, alumni, and students exemplify global involvement in our profession, and are active participants in associations such as IFLA, the International Federation of Library Associations.
Our alumni populate all continents; our students hail from many countries: Armenia, Romania, and Sri Lanka, to name a few. Of special note is our Vietnamese initiative: students from this program have become the first professional librarians in Vietnam. In the summer of 2004, we offered an institute to train professionals from various U.S. embassies around the world.
English Language Proficiency
The faculty requires that all prospective students for whom English is not the first language achieve a satisfactory score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (TOEFL). A minimum of 6.5 in each section is required for the IELTS test. The minimum TOEFL score is 213 (computer-based), 550 (paper-based), or 79-80 (internet-based). No exemptions will be considered. The SLIS institutional code is 3761; the departmental code is 90.

Visa Requirements and Full-Time Academic Status
Due to immigration stipulations, international students requiring a student visa to study in the U.S. must be enrolled full-time in an academic program. Additionally, if you are currently in the U.S. and have any visa other than an F-1, you must check with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services regarding procedures for changing your visa status.
Interview Requirement
An interview with a SLIS representative is required for international applicants whose cumulative GPA is less than the equivalent of a US 3.0, for all dual degree applicants, as well as students applying to the doctoral program.
Application Deadlines
International applicants to the master's degree program are requested to apply for the term commencing in September only (exceptions can be made in special cases, please contact the Admission Office for more information); the application deadline is March 1, or February 1 for those wanting priority consideration for merit aid awards. The deadline for doctoral applications is January 15. All materials must be received by the posted deadline. An I-20 will be issued if admitted and the Declaration of Finances (see below) has been submitted. Please allow ample time for the pace of international postal services, obtaining visa documents, arrival in the U.S., and transitioning to a new environment.
Application materials may be submitted to the following address. The Simmons mailing address is the same for the entire University. Please specify in the first line of the address whether you are applying for the master's or doctoral program.

Required Academic Records
In the U.S., academic records or mark sheets are called "transcripts" (this is the term used throughout this Web site). All applicants who have studied abroad must submit official (signed in original ink and stamped with a seal) academic records for study completed at all universities (including schools where no degree or certificate was earned by the student). English translations and U.S. equivalencies of all transcripts are required. Please submit your transcript(s) to an organization that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Notarized translations are not acceptable. Photocopies or facsimiles are not acceptable.
A "college" abroad usually means a secondary institution whereas in the U.S., a college is an institution providing higher education. A college can be part of a larger university or represent a singular institution such as Simmons University. Academic records from overseas colleges, which are actually secondary schools (high schools in the U.S.), are not required as part of the application process. Courses taken at the secondary level do not fulfill the prerequisite requirements for application and admission to a graduate program. A baccalaureate in the U.S. is a first university degree. Many overseas systems award baccalaureates which represent the completion of secondary education or a year beyond.
Required Standardized Test Results
All applicants who do not have the US equivalent of a 3.0 cumulative GPA (undergraduate or graduate degree) must submit official GRE (Graduate Record Exam) scores, taken within the past five years. All doctoral students regardless of GPA must submit official GRE scores. There is no required minimum score. Copies of student score reports are not acceptable. The Simmons GRE code is 3761 (you must also choose either Library Science 4701 or Archival Science 4702). Further information about this exam can be obtained by contacting:
GRE, Educational Testing Service
P.O. Box 6000
Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6000
Applications from international students will be considered only after Simmons University has been notified directly by the appropriate testing service that the candidates have been certified as fully-proficient in English. The achievement of a satisfactory score on an English language proficiency test is not, in itself, a guarantee of admission, as the credential file is considered as a whole. The School does accept testimonials as a means of establishing English proficiency.
Applications cannot be reviewed without the receipt of these test scores. It is very important that applicants register for these exams well in advance of applying for admission.
Required Financial Documentation
You are not required to submit financial documentation before you are considered for admission to the program. Once you are admitted to the program, we will send you a Declaration of Finances form. We cannot send registration information to you, nor issue the I-20 student visa application, until you have sent us the Declaration of Finances form indicating the source of funds you will use to meet your living and tuition expenses.
Please arrange with your bank, sponsor, and/or government to send an official statement indicating that you have sufficient funds in a bank for these educational expenses and/or that your tuition and expenses will be paid by your sponsor(s) or government. Please email or mail the documents, with signatures, to the address below. We ask that you apply to the program only if you are reasonably sure you will be able to meet the financial obligations.

Office of Admission

All documents must be signed in original ink, written in English, and funds must be shown in U.S. dollars ($). Certain countries limit the amount of money which may be sent abroad. Thus, it is very important for the applicant to inquire about the regulations in the home country concerning transfer of funds. This information is required in order to process an I-20 to obtain an F-1 student visa.
Financial Assistance
International students are eligible for merit based scholarships which are awarded to the top 20-25% of new students entering in the fall (September) and spring (January) semesters. International students may also apply for the Dean's Fellowships which are our most prestigious awards. International students are not eligible for need-based grants or federal loans.
There is minimal funding available for doctoral students.
International students with student visas may be able to work in the libraries of Simmons University, but may not count these earnings as income to pay for tuition and expenses. Students with a student visa may not work off campus.
Academic Year
For each academic semester, students receive grades for each subject (course) taken. The first (fall) semester generally begins in early September and ends in mid December. The second (spring) semester generally begins at the end of January and ends in mid May. A third term (summer) is generally held from June to August.
*Only Master's students are eligible for Scholarships, and U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible for federal loans and most private loans. Students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents may qualify for some private loans (contact Student Financial Services for more information).
Tuition is calculated on a per credit basis each semester. Below you will find a listing of the tuition rates for your program. The activity fee is mandatory for all students, so it has been included below. For information on health insurance fees, please see "Health Insurance for Graduate Students".
The Student Health Insurance Plan rates for 2019-2020 have not been released. The figure provided is from the 2018-2019 academic year and is expected to increase in 2019-2020. Student Health Insurance is charged once per year to any student enrolled in 9 or more credits. If you do not wish to enroll in the school provided plan, please waive it at www.universityhealthplans.com. The waiver must be completed once a year by the deadline. Please visit our Student Health Insurance Plan page for more information.
Simmons University does not offer health insurance coverage to students enrolled in less than 9 credits OR the dependent(s) of any Simmons University student.

Shoes.com Insider on KeenKEEN offers quality outdoor shoes, hiking boots, sandals, and more. Men, women, and kids love exploring in these fun, comfortable pairs of hybrid shoes.
Entering into the footwear industry in 2003, this best-selling label from Portland, Oregon quickly made a name for itself by introducing its innovative Newport sandals. KEEN's Newport H2 sandals are really hybrids - part hiking shoe, part sandal. They are a washable hiking shoe with big strips cut out of its sides and above the heel for major ventilation. That means ankle and arch support plus anti-slip treading, but also quick-drying, breezy bliss. The outsole also wraps over the toes, adding even more protection while walking through rocky terrain or shallow water. Bungee laces keep the webbed upper together yet flexible. For the kiddos, there's a kaleidoscope of colors to choose from with Newport H2 sandals. Popular variations include the Venice and Whisper styles. So whether you want to buy KEEN walking shoes, camping shoes, or shoes for the beach, these versatile lines are sure to please.
But there's more to adore than just sandals and water shoes. KEEN hiking boots boast breathable waterproofing, adaptive warmth, extra cushioning, greater stability, and additional grip to provide sure footing from country trails to mountain peaks. For some flexible, casual and fashionable women's shoes, ladies young at heart and in age alike will fall for the KEEN Mary Janes, which come in a range of hues and fun patterns. There's also an array of bags, from backpacks and totes to messengers and cross hatches. You can also feel good about being seen outdoors in KEEN, since the forward-thinking company routinely partners with non-profit organizations. So in a sense, you'll be helping KEEN spread goodwill - and good taste - by ordering your favorite styles from Shoes.com, with free US shipping, of course.

STS-96, Mission
Control Center
For the first time in six months, astronauts entered the International Space Station delivering supplies and preparing the outpost to receive its first resident crew, scheduled to arrive in early 2000.
Mission Specialists Tammy Jernigan and Russian Space Agency cosmonaut Valery Tokarev opened the hatch into the Unity module at 8:14 p.m. CDT Sunday, then continued through Pressurized Mating Adapter 1 into the Zarya module at 9:07 p.m. Commander Kent Rominger and the rest of the crew - Pilot Rick Husband and Mission Specialists Ellen Ochoa, Dan Barry and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Julie Payette - soon followed.
After inspecting their expanded living quarters, the crew began transferring supplies, equipment and water that will be left aboard, an effort that was coordinated by Ochoa. The bulk of the supplies and equipment were shipped up in a double Spacehab module carried in Discovery's cargo bay.
Payette and Tokarev replaced 12 of 18 battery recharge controllers in the Russian-built Zarya module. Zarya has six batteries, which have been experiencing a slight loss in capacity during recharge. Each battery has three "charge controllers," known by the Russian acronym MIRTS. The astronauts replaced controllers for four of the batteries, and are scheduled to replace the recharge controllers for the other two later today. The work was carefully coordinated with flight controllers in the Russian Mission Control Center outside Moscow, who issued commands to turn the battery systems on and off via ground-based communication stations. Barry and Tokarev also installed a series of "mufflers" over fans inside Zarya to reduce noise levels in that module.
Barry and Husband replaced a power distribution unit and transceiver for the Early Communications System in the Unity module, restoring that system to its full capability. This supplemental communications system enables flight controllers to send commands to the station from the Mission Control complex in Houston.
Near the end of their workday, Rominger, Jernigan and Barry discussed the progress of their mission, including Jernigan and Barry's space walk and last night's entry into the International Space Station, with NBC's "Today," show, CBS "This Morning" and CNN.
The crew is scheduled to begin its sleep period at 8:20 a.m. CDT, and will awaken at 4:20 p.m. to continue their work in the ISS.
The next STS-96 mission status report will be issued at approximately 7 p.m. Central time or as events warrant.
