Our Building and Town and Country Planning courses are ranked 7th in the UK by the Guardian University Guide 2019
Employers all over the world are crying out for highly trained professionals with the technical, leadership and management skills to coordinate, plan, direct and budget the building of a vast array of construction projects – from motorways and bridges, schools and hospitals to wastewater treatment plants, residential, commercial and industrial structures.
Within the UK alone, the CIOB has found that three quarters of contractors are operating at or near full capacity – with more than 230,000 new recruits by 2020.
This professionally accredited course blends traditional design skills with modern technologies, using traditional drafting methods alongside computer aided design (CAD). It aims to enable you to develop the skills necessary to become a highly-trained professional in this very demanding but rewarding discipline, setting you on the path towards chartered status and full membership of the CIOB.
Coventry enjoys excellent links with local and national contractors like Galliford Try, Vinci, Kier and Willmott Dixon, many of whom provide direct input into course development as members of our Civil Engineering and Building Advisory Boards. They also enable you to become involved with the construction community through networking and placement opportunities (subject to availability and application), which can enhance your employment prospects on graduation.
You will be taught by staff with academic and professional experience in architectural practice, civil engineering and the construction industry, having worked in roles as construction and project managers, quantity Surveyors and design managers for a variety of both contracting and consultant organisations. We also have a strong portfolio of industry-related research, particularly in the areas of low carbon building technology, sustainable construction materials and engineering education, which ensures you stay abreast of new technologies and emerging issues.
Teaching is highly practical; throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to draw on real-life case studies to reinforce teaching, including the use of site visits. You also have a unique opportunity to undertake teaching in the Simulation Centre and participate in integrated project work, where theory is put into practice as soon as it is learned.
Study on shared modules alongside students on a wide range of other professional disciplines, such as civil engineering, building surveying and architectural technology, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of today's construction industry.
Your main study themes are:
This course can be studied full-time over three or four years with a sandwich year being taken between the second and third years of study. The programme may be followed part-time by attending up to five modules each year as scheduled for full-time students. You can start in September.
You will find that your course is taught using lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratories, workshop and studio sessions, supervised by academic and technical support staff. In addition, your personal tutor will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
We try to provide you with as much real-life experience as possible with site visits to existing buildings, current construction sites and materials manufacturing sites, which in the past have included a variety of student accommodation projects local to the University, projects on the technology park and visits to Ibstock Brick in Stoke. We also encourage guest speeches from current practitioners, which have previously covered topics such as estimating software, site logistics and design.
You will have access to our Simulation Centre, which incorporates best practice building information modelling (BIM), now used commonly across the sector to manage the information produced during a construction project, from feasibility, through construction and operation to final demolition. Using a 3D model, you can view and walk through your project to add value, realise efficiencies and ensure every member of the construction team understands what is required of them and when. In the past, this has included the refurbishment of University buildings and new build designs.
In the second year, you will be expected to undertake a collaborative integrated group project with other students from Architectural Technology, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying to demonstrate the need for collaborative working environments in the industry. You will also undertake a field course in practical surveying, which is currently in Shropshire. This lasts for five days and includes a variety of site surveying tasks designed match site practice.
The highly practical nature of the course enables you to work with staff and students on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups. This means that while you learn the technical content of your degree, these projects develop the professional skills required including: problem analysis and design; project, task and time management; risk assessment; team work and leadership; technical report and bench assessment; troubleshooting and more.
This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which will could vary depending upon the module. Assessment methods include formal examinations, practical or project work, coursework, essays, group work, presentations and posters.
The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards the achieving the intended learning outcomes. Assessments may include exams, individual assignments or group work elements.
On successful completion, you should have knowledge of:
On successful completion, you should be able to:
In a typical week, you will have up to 20 'contact' hours of teaching. This generally breaks down as follows:
In addition, you will be expected to undertake a further 20 hours of self-directed study each week, eg. Revising, using guided handouts, online activities etc.
Construction is a global industry with the demand for building professionals overseas set to rise dramatically. The United Nations[ has identified nine countries, which will account for half the world's population growth between now and 2050: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the US, Indonesia and Uganda.
The content of the course continuously refers to the international context in which construction takes place, which gives an international perspective to your studies and future career as a construction manager. For example, we draw on a variety of international case studies, covering contemporary topics such as sustainability in Spain and building projects like the Sydney Opera House, Channel Tunnel and Burj Khalifa, among others.
During the course, you have the option of participating in an international fieldtrip, which provides the opportunity to experience the built environment in other countries (application and additional costs may apply). If you opt for a sandwich year, you can also spend time studying abroad; we currently have links with universities in Europe, America and Asia.

We want to recruit the best students to Coventry and having assessed applicants' past, current and predicted performance and commitment to the course we feel that it is appropriate to reward consistently high-achieving students with an unconditional offer from a top university. It is a commitment from us with regard to an applicants' potential as an excellent undergraduate and we hope that this will encourage such applicants to join the Coventry community.
Personal statements and references will also be taken into account and, for some degree courses, an interview will form part of the assessment. The criteria for unconditional offers will vary across the University as entry requirements for specific courses differ and not all degree courses will be taking part in the Scheme. The unconditional offer will be confirmed once a selected applicant has made Coventry their firm choice.
Coventry University has assessed that you are capable of achieving excellent grades and we have demonstrated this belief by making you an unconditional offer. This is our commitment to you so then we ask that you reciprocate this commitment by selecting us as your 'firm' choice and activating your unconditional offer.
We will consider other qualifications for a pre-result unconditional offer providing that you have an appropriate proven performance at GCSE (or equivalent) level and predicted grades in line with grades that we expect to see at A-level. Other qualifications that we may consider for a pre-result unconditional offer include: the International Baccalaureate Diploma, BTEC Level 3 qualifications, Cambridge Pre-U and combinations of qualifications (e.g. BTECS plus A-levels).
An unconditional offer is what it says it is. So if you don't meet your predictions then your place at Coventry is still guaranteed. However we would hope and expect that you continue to work hard to make the most of your potential and be best prepared to study at university level.
We can't but our experience over the years has shown us that students like you with a track record of high grades and excellent predictions are very likely to achieve those grades. Our assessment takes into account all elements of your application to allow us to take a holistic view of your potential. There is still the opportunity to gain one of the Coventry University Scholarships if you achieve the required grades so there is a financial incentive to aim high. Unconditional offers are only made to individuals who have demonstrated their commitment so we believe their focus and determination is unlikely to waver in the final stages of their qualifications.
No, the unconditional offer is only available to those who will take up their place in 2019.

This morning, I did not go running. I woke up with The Cramps of Death and laid
in bed on the couch, where we've been sleeping because our bedroom is ungodly hot, for a few extra minutes. "I'll go tonight," I told myself.
So here I am, with a glass of red wine, in my comfies, not running. It's still hot, and I still have The Cramps of Death, and frankly, I would rather scavenge my pantry for chocolate chips than go put in my four miles today.
And that's ok. It is. It may not feel ok to me right now, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished in the last week. If my body wants to rest mid-week, I'm going to let it. Nike+ Running informed me yesterday that I've run 19 miles since I started my training last Tuesday, and that's an accomplishment for me! I'm a lifelong running hater. So I'm choosing to celebrate my personal victory rather than lament about how lame I feel right now.
This may not be a fast pace to you, but for me, this was thrilling. It was my best average mile time all week, even though it certainly didn't feel like it when I was out there. Endurance has always been my biggest struggle when it comes to exercise, so I'm really focused on finding a sustainable pace to get me through this race. I want to minimize my speed variations and maximize my consistency.
In your training, how do you balance working on distance endurance and working on increasing speed? Does one come naturally from the other? Let me know what you think!
Back to my wine…cheers to tomorrow being Thursday (and rec softball playoffs)!

Analysis of Hydroxylammonium Nitrate Burning Rates
MetadataShow full item record
Recent interest in the replacement of hydrazine as a liquid monopropellant has focused on the use of hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN)-based monopropellants. HAN-based monopropellants offer benefits of improved performance and safer handling when compared to hydrazine, though its combustion properties are not as well understood as hydrazine. The work presented in this thesis seeks to improve the understanding of the combustion properties of HAN by conducting fundamental experiments to measure the burning rate of 82.4 weight percent aqueous HAN solutions. To verify the accuracy of these burning rate measurements, two methods were used to simultaneously measure the burning rate of aqueous HAN inside of a constant-volume pressurized strand burner for test pressures ranging from 2.37 to 15.10 MPa. This required the development of a method to measure the burning rates by use of a high-speed video camera and comparison of these results against those measured by monitoring the change in pressure of the strand burner. The use of simultaneous burning rate measurements also compared the burning rate results for two different sources of aqueous HAN to further validate the accuracy of these measurements. Results of this investigation showed that aqueous HAN combustion results in two-phase burning where the liquid and gas phases are separated in the pressure trace by an inflection point in the rate of increasing pressure produced by the burning propellant. The method of burning rate measurements by the change in pressure was modified to use this inflection point as a point of propellant burnout, rather than the point of maximum pressure. By doing this, it was verified that either this inflection point method or the high-speed video method could be used to measure the liquid phase burning rate of aqueous HAN, but also indicated that the gas phase produces significant exothermic reactions. A second burning rate measurement for HAN is defined by use of the peak pressure to capture the complete combustion of aqueous HAN and its two-phase burning behavior. An experiment to detect the presence of the hydroxyl radical as an intermediate combustion species in this gas phase reaction was also performed, which resulted in no evidence of its presence in either phase of aqueous HAN combustion.

A superhero is not just defined by his costumes or his crime fighting, one of the key elements that make a superhero interesting is the villains he is pitted against. With the closing chapter of the Arkham series, Rocksteady and Warner Bros. have to be really careful about the villains they match up against the Dark Knight.
From the details that have emerged so far about the final game of the franchise, which include a trailer, some screenshots and the IMDB page of the game we can guess which characters will be making their appearances in the game.
Not all these are confirmed however, but if players sit down to analyze the loose ends left from Arkham City, we can make a pretty good guess about their presence.
Kevin Conroy will be reprising his role as the legendary Dark Knight and Harley Quinn voiced by Tara Strong will of course return as evident by the trailer and the casting page from IMDB. James Horan, who voiced Jack Ryder in Arkham City, would be returning this time to voice Arkham Knight, a character newly created for the game.
Other returning characters include The Penguin, Two-Face, Deadshot, The Riddler, James and Barbara Gordon. Ra's Al Ghul and Joker however seem to be out of the picture for good. Instead, Troy Baker who voiced Joker in Arkham Origins would be lending his talents for Two-Face this time.
There is no fixed release date for Batman: Arkham Knight, however it's expected to launch somewhere around October and the game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC only.

At this point its either going to be the most epic trip ever or the biggest fiasco.
We spent basically 2 trying to fix the drawer in the bedroom just to find out that whoever @ THOR put the drawer together doesnt know what being square means. the drawer was 3/8 wide at the bottom than on the top.. of course its not going to fit. I"rigged" it so it will work and is useable but it will need more attention when we come back. We also found a leak by the hotwater heater, tons of plastic shavings in the prepump filter and…to put the icing on the cake.. out radio stops working after 5 to 40 min, either its overheating or needs a firmware upgrade.
All our gear is loaded and the only things missing are personal and work electronics, come clothing and some small stuff.
After losing a bit of blood trying to fix that darn drawer Ineeded some uplifting and decided to put the new decal up for the rear window. Icould have done a better job but this will do for a while.

George joined the Ontario Provincial Air Service in 1952. It was the start of a career that would last for over 31 years. Aerial water bombing was developed during his career and George was involved from the beginning. George was known for pride in his work and was often specifed by name when a request was made for a water drops on a raging forest fire. George was one of the first in line to fly the land-based Grumman Tracker Chemical Bomber when they were introduced in 1972. He accumulated many hours in the "Cement Truck", as he called it. A step up to the turbine powered Twin Otter on wheels, skis and floats followed. George was on the first crew selected when IFR flying was introduced. George was a one man airshow with his water bombing demonstrations at the Canadian National Exhibition for many years. Never one to sit still, George flew two summer contracts for the Air Service, did some maintainence work and flying for Air Dale, and did some flights for Algoma Steel after retiring in 1983 . A strong family man, George would often make a low pass over his house prior to landing on the river to let his wife know that he was on his way home.
George passed away suddenly on March 9, 2000.

Those who love the outdoors, staying active, and experiencing culture will want to add these getaways to their list of next eco-adventures.
For those who love the outdoors, staying active, and experiencing culture through nature, nothing beats embarking on an eco-adventure. One of the newest trends in travel, ecotourism promotes responsible travel that doesn't negatively impact the surrounding community. Think less all-inclusive vacation resorts and more simple environments with understated natural living. Eco-adventure opportunities are available throughout the world. Consider these ideas for booking your next natural experience:
Cape Town, South Africa
To get a bird's eye view of Cape Town, consider planning a visit that includes a hike up to Lion's Head peak. This hour-long walk is engaging and results in the ultimate eco-adventure in one of the world's top 10 green cities. Endless biking, walking, and even horseback riding make it a prime destination for the eco-lover.
In Cape Town, visit South Africa's first environmentally conscious mall or the Rondevlei Nature Reserve. Stop by an organic market, such as The Neighbourgoods Market in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, to stock up on healthy snacks and travel supplies.
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
Costa Rica's philosophy is simply "Pura Vida," which loosely translates to living the pure life — perfect for any eco-tourist. Enjoy an abundance of green activities at Manuel Antonio National Park, where you can watch monkeys, sloths, and toucans while kayaking, snorkeling, and surfing on pristine beaches. Numerous environmentally conscious villas dot the area, and various restaurants offer inexpensive local cuisine with distinct Latin American flair.
Reykjavík, Iceland's capital city, offers opportunities for whale watching, and the Golden Circle's geysers erupt every few minutes. If you're planning a winter getaway, be sure to include an expedition to see the Northern Lights, which are visible in the dark, clear skies here. Hiking in glaciers, snorkeling in between continents, and soaking in hot springs are just a few of the treats Iceland has to offer as an eco-adventure destination.
Grand Canyon
For a truly traditional eco-adventure, take a mule ride around the rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Learn about the majestic geologic formations that make up the canyon, and cross the Colorado River on a daring suspension bridge. Camp in the canyon overnight, and plan the next day's hike to beautiful Havasu Falls. Park passes are reasonably priced, and many eco-lodges are available for relaxing before the next big adventure.
St. John
For those without a passport, very few places can beat St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands for an eco-adventure. The 19-square-mile island consists primarily of national park land preserved by Laurance Rockefeller and features the picturesque Concordia Eco-Resort, which offers quick access to miles of hiking trails, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and even yoga. Fly into St. Thomas and take the 20-minute ferry before becoming peacefully enveloped in nature.

The ruble extended its losses for the second consecutive day after the U.S. and the European Union imposed harsher sanctions on Russia.
The currency fell by 1.2 percent to 37.97 per dollar before falling to 37.8855 as of 6:53 p.m. Moscow time, resulting in a loss of 2.5 percent this week. The ruble dropped 1.1 percent to 49 per euro and tumbled 1.1 percent versus the central bank's target basket of euros and dollars to 42.8870. Government bonds that mature in February 2027 rebounded after a five-day losing streak, pushing the yield down by eight basis points to 9.64 percent.
"Market sentiment toward the ruble remains negative, and retaliatory measures from Russia seem certain," Sberbank CIB analysts, led by Tom Levinson, wrote in a note seen by Bloomberg News. "Such trade restrictions damage both euro-zone and Russian growth prospects and will keep the euro and the ruble pressured."
The EU rolled out further penalties against 15 Russian businesses, including blocking OAO Rosneft, OAO Transneft and OAO Gazprom Neft from obtaining financing that has a maturity period exceeding 30 days.
The U.S. rolled more sanctions against Sberbank, five government-owned technology and defense firms and energy companies. This means Sberbank is restricted from securing funding with maturity greater than 30 days. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Russia may retaliate by banning imports of items such as used cars and clothing.
Meanwhile, the Thai baht fell the most in over a month on speculation U.S. interest rates may be increased soon. The currency posted a weekly drop of 0.7 percent to trade at 3:34 p.m. Bangkok time, the biggest decline since the week through Aug. 1.

Treating spinal cord injuries with a mixture of immature spinal cord neurons and stem cells, also known as "designer neurons," has led to some improved, though limited, results in some patients. Success depends on the new cells forming working connections with the surviving nerve cells in the spinal cord.
Currently, researchers can test the effectiveness of stem cell transplants on spinal cord injuries by measuring gross motor skills and recovery of the senses, as well as other assessments to determine if the transplanted designer neurons are growing and forming new synapses. However, it is extremely difficult to measure the functionality of connections within the transplanted neural networks.
Jeffrey Gamble, a doctoral student in the lab of Dennis Barbour, MD, PhD, associate professor of biomedical engineering, is developing a new cell culture platform that will allow biomedical engineers and spinal cord injury researchers to better evaluate communication and interactions between the designer neurons and surviving native spinal cord neurons. This platform will give researchers some insight into whether the designer neurons have properties conducive to effective stem cell therapy.
"When neurons are injected into the site of injury, they form network connections among themselves and to existing cells to restore function," Gamble says. "This project focuses on connectivity, how these stem cell-derived neurons talk to each other and if certain populations of neurons talk to each other better than others."
Gamble will be doing the research with funding from a two-year, nearly $250,000 grant from the Spinal Cord Injuries Research Program at the University of Missouri recently awarded to Barbour.
Gamble says different types of neurons may be better candidates for transplanting in a spinal cord injury than others. His doctoral thesis project is looking at V2a interneurons, which have been implicated as potential transplant candidates because of their ability to excite other neurons and to communicate over long distances in the spinal cord.

Rosewood Qld Australia
'Vegetation build-up fuels fires in national parks''is a comphrensive article in the Timber & Forestry eNews. The article is on page one & continues on pages 3 & 6.
"Professional foresters have attacked opponents of controlled forest burns; they are oblivious to science, they say.
This summer's rolling fires through fuel-packed reserves is another smack in the eye to the philosophies of the idiotic Greens and their opportunistic partners from the ALP," says respected forester Dick Pegg who was fire protection officer with Queensland forestry from 1970 to 1976.
"There's no point in learning a lesson on bushfires when the same is learnt every few years with no practical mitigation measures put in place because'the medicine is refused by the patient'," Mr Pegg said.
"If the population has little or no understanding of fire behaviour and the need for fuel reduction and continues to support the Greens with their idiotic and irresponsible policies, then we will continue to see these
disasters repeated over and over again."
Sad really, as well as stupid. As well as impacts on humans, the animals also lose out in a big way from what is probably meant to protect them.ReplyDelete
Face facts on Wildfires is an opinion article by Senator Chris Black publish at Rural Press's farmonline.
"WE can't prevent wildfires but we can manage their impact and the damage they cause.
The conflagration we have just witnessed across three Australian states is not the effect of global warming.
What we are seeing is the long-term effect of ignorance, and a failure to implement well-established and proven land management practices.
Those well-versed in bushfire behaviour are all too familiar with the so called DEAD cycle.
It is unerringly accurate. Disaster followed by Enquiry followed by Apathy and the next inevitable Disaster.
Little is being done to break the cycle."
This is a great article by Viv Forbes. And the well-informed comments by Senator Chris Black and forester Dick Pegg, as quoted by Dale, are also spot-on.
As Viv points out, "There is only one way to limit fire damage – reduce the fuel available." As he also mentions, it was by the frequent use of fire that the Aborigines maintained the open grasslands that dominated the landscape prior to European settlement. And until recent times, firies regularly reduced fire hazards by organised 'cool' control burns in State forests etc, thereby reducing the possibility of the out-of-control wild fires that endanger surrounding properties.
Now, thanks to environmentalism, the shutting up of forests from grazing and banning of control burning, an excessive fuel build-up so often leads to disastrous consequences. For instance, local firies who fought in the Snowy Mountain region reported up to 40 tons of fuel loading in places. As a result, a raging inferno ensued.
Three weeks after that event, I personally witnessed the aftermath of those fires in the Snowies. And the fact is nothing could have been more environmentally destructive. The fire was of such intensity that not only all vegetation but also all organic matter within the topsoil had been destroyed, and holes burned deep into the ground marked where dead trees and fence posts had once stood. Rocks had even been split or had their surfaces completely flaked off.
I'll never forget the experience of visiting the Thomas Craigie Lookout (toward the Victorian border) and gazing across the denuded landscape that was more resembling of a war zone: one charred rolling hill after another as far as the eye could see, devoid of all life. What impacted on me most was the eerie silence: not a leaf, not a blade of grass to rustle in the breeze, not a bird call or any sound at all – just a deathly silence in a sterile land.
Yet authorities persist in holding meaningless enquiries and continue to refuse to heed the wise counsel of those with many years' fire fighting experience - with tragic consequences for human life and even for nature and the environment itself.
National Parks Fueled Summer Bushfires in the Pilliga, published today by Jennifer Marohasy.
"The extent of the bushfire that ravaged the region – that also includes Baradine, Coolah and Dunedo – was in part a consequence of the creation of large areas of national park by a government that promised the creation of the National Parks would ensure the permanent conservation of the forests.
....The Australian public was told that the NSW government had saved these iconic forests.
Not true.
But it is the victor who gets to write the history in his favor, and so the origin of the magnificent Pilliga forests that were so badly burnt this summer, and the timber communities that nurtured them over more than three generations is ignored – to one day be forgotten."

Direct flights are often not possible. My favorite connection is through Brussels, which is the inspired! The airport is the LARGEST chocolate shop in the world! Other interesting connections exist through Moscow, Paris, and London. Connections, of course, affect the price of airfare.
As you are already in Asia, many of our past attendees have extended their holiday and added side trips to Bali, Hong Kong, and Tibet.
Extend your flight information, as soon as you have them booked , in order for us to arrange your ground transportation.
Travel Visa.
A valid passport and visa are required to travel to India. Please, verify the validity of your passport and secure a visa as soon as you can. The sooner you have it in your possession, the more excited you will be!
"U.S. citizens seeking to enter India solely for tourist purposes, and who plan to stay no longer than 60 days, may apply for an electronic travel authorization at least four days prior to their arrival in lieu of applying for a tourist visa at an Indian embassy or consulate."
Below is the official site. There are copycat sites out there... you do not need ANYONE to facilitate this process on your behalf. You will work directly with the Indian authorities noted on the below site.
Is India Safe?
Yes. This is a peaceful country.
That being said, we will be visiting some BIG cities and being a tourist in any city, a foreign tourist in addition, requires that you be smart with your person and belongings. We will have dedicated transportation (nothing public), our own security, and will stay in excellent, very comfortable accommodations. Money will be easily exchanged at accessible and easy banks, machines, and with a banker - money exchanger, who will COME TO US at our first hotel.
Various Travel Details for India.
Credit cards are easily accepted. There is often a fee to convert from dollars to local currency, as is common when traveling.
Further, I will be very clear on HOW to dress to avoid unwanted attention and to garner the respect of a scholar, as that is what we are there to be. One of our FIRST stops upon arrival will be to secure great clothes for the adventure. (Remember the scene from National Lampoons European Vacation??... When they all looked hilarious after the shopping trip to the high fashion store??? … yeah, not that!) You will be guided by beloved expert sales people at a favorite store towards whatever you like and whatever price range you would like. This store has Sari, Salawar sets, shoes, scarves, jewelry, shoes, the works!
Sari, are five yards of love that wrap a woman as the goddess. They have been the traditional form dress for Indian women for thousands of years. They have an extraordinary history. Click this link to order a book that will fascinate and inspire you! Sari come every possible color, shade, and pattern are available in cotton, silk, and fabric blends. Their price ranges from $2.00 to… haute couture prices! I am most comfortable in a cotton sari and have never spent more than $20 (it was a hand dye, hand loomed from a boutique manufacturer.) When you purchase a Sari, the onsite tailor will take your measurements, cut an extra yard of fabric off from the top to construct the perfect Dhoti, or mid-riff blouse, worn under your Sari. Saris are worn with a simple slip for underneath that holds the silk or cotton wrap in place with its drawstring waist. These saris cost less than $5.00 each and come in every dream-up-able color. It is not so smooth to have a slip peak out from the bottom of a sari that doesn't match; chances are you will purchase a few to support your color choices. Along our journey, we will have women come wrap us and teach us how to wear them, slightly differently in the northern areas, versus the southern. It feels amazing to be folded into the culture in this manner…. And! They are surprisingly comfortable!
Salawar Sets, or long-butt-covering-STUNNING tunics over baggy pants that taper at the ankle are worn with a coordinating scarf, are worn as a daily outfit for women. These are super easy to wear, festive, tremendously comfortable, and less time consuming than a Sari. I wear these most days in India. You will often purchase these without sleeves sewn on and the onsite tailor will take your measurements and quickly sew your sleeves onto your garment. These range in price from a couple bucks to very pricey, depending on the fabric, print, embroidery, and bedazzlement. You can also buy pieces separately to mix and match J
Shoes are easy. Your favorite walking sandals or slip-ons will be wonderful. In Jaipur, the shoe capital… I bought UNREAL flats for $2-5 per pair….
Men, you can pretty much wear anything EXCEPT shorts and tank tops. When you go into temples, you will wear a simple wrap, a sarong, and scarf and go in bare chested. This is a sign of devotion and respect.
In the day to day, if you wish to look more culturally matching, long cotton tunics over your pants and scarves around your neck are appreciated.
What NOT to wear. This is HUGE for us. To gain access into what we must gain access to as westerners, we must adopt and appreciate local culture. It is greatly appreciated most everywhere and expected in several places. Think about making the attempt to speak French in France, you will get smiles and assistance rather than forcing them to attempt to understand you in English.
Women: NO tank tops. NO SHORTS. No short skirts. NO JEANS. DEFINITELY leave your Hardtails at home. Under no circumstances should you show your shoulders. Even for our yoga practices, please bring t-shirts that cover your bum. See - packing is a breeze!
Men: NO shorts. No tank tops. Avoid T-shirts with negative or political messaging.
Safe and Delicious! All restaurants are preselected by our tour company.
I know the words 'delhi belly' are in the back of your mind. Let's talk about it! Your safety is of first concern, as is your comfort. The food and water along the trip will be well orchestrated and guided. The restaurants that our guides will arrange will know we are coming and will be well versed in meeting our Western belly needs.
Drinking Chai from local places is fine, as the water is boiled to death! I discourage buying cut produce from street vendors; however, sweets, whole fruit, and so forth should be fine. My friends will be CLEAR to guide us.
Yes, cocktails are available at our hotels and several restaurants. These are generally beers, wines (limited selection), and spirits. Expect to pay stateside prices.
Medical Care.
If you catch a bug, which can happen traveling ANYWHERE out of your rhythm, we will address it quickly and easily, as doctors and pharmacies are skilled and plentiful. I take a course of GOOD probiotics prior to leaving and have never had a single issue!
Inspiration and Study!
Our guiding inspiration will be Dawna Markova's beautiful book, I Will Not Die and Unlived Life. It is an incredible inspiration and something that will be the guiding influence of your keepsake journal and will peek into our temple contemplations, 'bus lectures', evening gatherings, writing exercises, and morning meditations. Get your copy as soon as you can. It is a quick read. Prepare to love it!
Upon registration, I will offer a reading list for cultural preparation, historical preparation, and mythological preparation.
Anyone registered for the trip is welcome to attend my Mythic Motion Weekend Immersions, Triadic Heart Immersions, etc., prior to the trip to get you JUICED up on the mythical and mystical wonderment of what will be seen! View the schedule under 'Teacher Training' on my website.
A site you may wish to visit to get excited is incredibleindia.org
We will be creative everyday, finding beautiful spaces to practice all levels and restorative asana and mindful meditations.
The Sites.
Every place we will see will just about blow your mind. Each of these sites will be lectured upon and discussed in advance, for maximum enjoyment. You will be present at some of the most sacred ceremonies, sites and temples known to man. Many of the places we will visit do not commonly allow non-Hindus for ceremonies and blessing, or darshan.
The People.
Expect to meet some of the most gorgeous beings on the planet, from children to wise elders. You will certainly be spotted as western and have many requests for your photograph. For some reason, we seem as exotic to them as they to us. Prior to the trip, several cultural readings will be extended and webinar discussions opened up to our full gathering.
Across our group. Fully plan on making lifelong friends and some of the deepest bonds you can imagine.
Connections and Planning.
We will set up a Facebook group for pre-post travel connections.
We will have four conference calls, in advance, to answer questions and make introductions. Dates will be in August, September, October and November.
I am happy to extend our travel plans with you, as we book them. Just in case you want to be on the same flights, etc.,
This is truly a sacred place and a pattern of engaging such a gorgeous, rich country.
It will be a trip that you, that we WILL never forget!
It will be supportive and safe (I brought my mom last time!!!)
Please, let me know if you have any questions or needs. Showing you India feels like one of my highest callings and my greatest gifts to give.
With Love,
Shannon Paige

Hi Jotform,
Love your product. I work for a digital agency and we develop sites for many clients. We're currently using FormStack (which I hate) because they have a unified dashboard where we can acess the data for all of the accounts. When you purchase the higher packages of Jotform, do you get something similar?
To confirm, we need to be able to log into one master account and edit/review all client forms. Is this possible?

Children and teenagers are much more prone to tooth decay. They love to eat sugary and starchy snacks like candies, chocolates, and chips. Sometimes they go to bed without cleaning their teeth. As a result, they suffer from toothaches and cry in pain. This can affect their school performance and their quality of life. They may experience fatigue, anxiety, irritability, and withdrawal from normal activities. If you don't want this happen to your kids, ask advice from Kennewick WA dentist Dr. Walter Hadley so he can take care of your children's oral health. Bring them to Marineland Dental Care clinic and they'll surely enjoy their trip to the office.
Routine Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
Encourage your child to see the dentist for regular checkup and professional cleaning. Routine exams can help detect early signs of cavities, gum inflammation, loose teeth, and other dental problems. Professional teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis is necessary in getting rid of the plaque and tartar.
Your youngster will enjoy his/her stay because your dentist uses hi-tech equipment like intraoral photography and air abrasion in the diagnosis and treatment of oral disease.
Sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied on the chewing surface of the teeth. The treatment is an effective protection against tooth decay. It's a simple and painless procedure. Getting sealants can save you time and money because it'll prevent complex and costly procedure.
Dental Advice
Your dentist will share some tips on oral health and teach your child effective brushing techniques. He will also provide nutritional counseling to keep the teeth strong and healthy. He'll suggest that you serve more fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein, fat-free dairy products, and whole wheat and avoid giving unhealthy food that can cause tooth decay.
Your Kennewick dentist can help your kids fight cavities. Feel free to call 509-591-0515 and book for an appointment.

A pizza chain is moving into a new development in Uddingston.
Home delivery specialist Domino's is taking a unit at the former gasworks site in Bothwell Road.
The site is being developed after lying derelict for many years.
The biggest retailer lined up so far is Marks & Spencer which is opening a foodstore. Work on that building is nearing completion.
The area already has a Lidl supermarket and the latest development also includes housing.
South Lanarkshire Council's planning committee this week granted detailed permission to Barratt Homes West Scotland which is building homes there.
Councillors were told that consent was granted earlier for 76 houses, but Barratt has reduced this to 63 because of "technical constraints" on the site.
One of the conditions of planning permission is that Barratt pays £25,000 towards upgrading community facilities in the area.
Uddingston and Bothwell councillor Maureen Devlin is delighted to see the housing and shopping development progress.
She said: "It was an eyesore for so long and then the ground had to be put on the market again after the downturn in the economy.
"If the demand for new homes there and flats nearby is anything to go by, things are certainly picking up in the area."

Most people do not journey very far in their spiritual lives, not because they are afraid of challenge or sacrifice, rather they do not sojourn because they are afraid of what they will uncover about themselves. The old adage is true: Adversity does not build character, it reveals character.
In 1978 Jack Gantos created a favorite literary character that has charmed children for years. His name is Rotten Ralph. He is an obnoxious large red cat owned by a sweetly naive young Sarah. When Jack began creating adventures for Rotten Ralph and Sarah, the plot ended with Sarah always loving her cat, Rotten Ralph, no matter his crime. Rarely did Rotten Ralph have self awareness about the effect of his antics until book number eleven. In Rotten Ralph Helps Out, Ralph discovers that his shenanigans are hindering Sarah's Egyptian homework project. It's frustrating for poor Ralph because this time he really wants to assist, yet his way of doing things always have an adverse effect. At one point in the reading, I wondered if Ralph was upset because he could not help Sarah or because he realized how rotten he really was.
That self discovery is exactly what causes good people to turn away from a conflict that may grow them emotionally and spiritually. What if all the bad things I think about myself turn out to be true? Worse yet, what if there is more bad stuff than I realize? What if I AM ROTTEN RALPH with NO Sarah to love me? The fear evoked by these internal questions brings compromise.
In Mark 10, Jesus interacts with the rich young ruler, who professes to be godly in deed and action. Jesus challenges this young man to give up his wealth by sharing it with the poor and becoming a disciple. The story is a bit of a letdown because the young man walks away. I believe the young ruler exits quickly because he is in shock. He has believed that God has favored him because of his wealth. (After all, Father Abraham was rich.) This made him a shoe in for heaven, much less the acceptance of this Rabbi before him. Yet Jesus throws out and invitation that challenges the one thing that defines his personhood. He discovers that he is not as godly as he thinks. He does love something more than God; wealth and the power that comes with it. He intelligently wove his love of money into his religion; after all he did tithe. The Gospel states that Jesus "loved" him. And Jesus loved him by revealing his character in a mirror of self sacrifice. I suppose I would retreat in horror too.
Rotten Ralph and the rich young ruler seem to have plotted similar paths. Rotten Ralph does find redemption. After destroying Sarah's final finished project, he becomes a last minute project himself. Sarah transforms him into an Egyptian sphinx, winning a good grade.
The gospel story does not give us much hope for the Rich Young Ruler because the story ends abruptly. Yet legend does abound. Some tales are told that Mark, the author of this gospel, is the Rich Young Ruler. Only in this account (verses other gospels) does the writer note that Jesus "loved" the Rich Young Ruler. Some think this personal footnote is the author's significant hint. There is a stronger argument from culture and history that place Barnabas as the Rich Young Ruler. Whatever the legend (or the truth), it gives us hope that the Rich Young Ruler did struggle with his wealth addiction, overcome it and become a follower of Jesus. The beginning of the recovery was shock and retreat. This young man discovered who he really was through the eyes of the divine.
Those who seek to spiritual growth will be challenged by the gospel time and time again. A reasonable reaction to these challenges is shock and retreat. It's uncomfortable. And, after all, we are human. But just as Jesus "loved" the Rich Young Ruler, Jesus loves us….even in our retreat. Accepting the dreaded retreat as a step toward growth, instead of a shameful failure is the attitude needed to allow Jesus to love us. It is the love of Christ and propels us to return and grow.
There is a Rotten Ralph and Sarah inside all of us. Our spiritual growth stops when our "Sarah" punishes our "Rotten Ralph". Ralph won't venture far when he doesn't feel safe. Internally, when our "Sarah" accepts and affirms the rottenness of our inner "Ralph", we are ready to go back to Jesus. Sarah knows she can't fix him. But it's not her job!
Sometimes the most Christ-like thing we can do is love ourselves. In other words allow our internal "Sarah" to be like Jesus and love our "Rotten Ralphs".
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals character. Be in conflict. Love what you find about yourself to be true and let Jesus do the rest.

We hope your Christmas has been wonderful and joyful.
It's been busy here!
Last night, Christmas Eve, Greg ran sound for FIVE services at church and I
ran the special needs programming for two services.
We pretty much fell into bed when we got home.
This morning, we got up and got the food for today started, because we had some co-workers of Greg's over. I'll post more about the food soon; what what you need to know is that it all turned out yummy! Since I was playing around with recipes, I wasn't sure it would work out, but it did (insert smiles and high fives).
Before everyone arrived, I filmed a little walk-through of our home, all tidy and clean and ready for guests. Welcome!

Making sense of organizational performance in China : a multiple perspective analysis of the manufacturing industry

Despite the growing economic power of Chinese companies, Chinese business practices remain poorly understood and the dominant business paradigm is still not yet formed. The Chinese manufacturing industry has been going through a period with both prosperity and recession in the last 30 years. The Chinese State-Owned Enterprise Reform is an important scheme to turn these enterprises into modern companies and improve their efficiency during the transition from planned economy to market economy. The result of this plan is different to different companies. This paper reviews the impact of this reform on a large SOE, the Shijiazhuang Tractor Plant, which ended in bankruptcy, and gives an overall analysis of the causes by using Multiple Perspective Analysis. The purpose is to illustrate the use of this method to provide a deeper insight of the causes. A framework based on the Multiple Perspective Analysis is developed to find these causes and their relationships. The analysis shows that economic performance is a reflection of all the other influencing factors like technical, organizational, personal, cultural and business environmental factors. In addition, the paper also makes some suggestions of how to overcome the difficulties.
