Thank you for attending the live chat on women and heart disease on Tuesday, February 11. We had a great discussion, so thank you all who posed questions. We were thrilled with the number of people who were able to register and participate in the chat. (You can check out the transcript here). We hope this means the word is spreading that heart disease is the number one killer of women and in many cases it is preventable if we take action.
The response was so great that we had a few questions we were not able to answer during the chat so we will answer them below for your reference.
Kim – Do you have advice for how we handle ER/EC encounters and successfully get the ER/EC doc/ staff to acknowledge active Heart Disease in the pre-menopausal woman?? With newer diagnoses such as coronary endothelial dysfunction/severe coronary vasospasms for me diastolic CHF due to the preceding perhaps advice on how to navigate our local healthcare systems when we cannot get to Emory. Are these disorders and often the testing that goes along with them that is often NORMAL, are they becoming more well-versed to the medical establishments or not?
Dr. Cutchins:
Kim – This is a very good question but not so easy to answer. The Emory Women's Heart Center is working hard on trying to educate physicians in our communities about heart disease in women. We are stressing to these physicians that heart disease can exist with negative ED test results. That said, when a woman presents to the ED with symptoms the physicians are doing their best to make sure there is nothing acute or life threatening going on with the patient. If all ED tests are normal and the patient is still concerned, the patient should follow up afterwards with a cardiologist who specializes in women with heart disease. All of the diseases you have described above are real and should be taken seriously. We have multiple treatment options for patients who fall into those categories. To find out more information you can visit emoryhealthcare.org/womensheart.
Tonia – Recently diagnosed with CHF- should I be concerned about my heart murmur?
Hi Tonia. Although I can't speak to your condition without seeing you in person, I can tell you that in general, it's not uncommon for patients with CHF (congestive heart failure) to have heart murmurs. Typically, I recommend patients speak to their physician and ask their physician(s) to perform an echo (heart ultrasound) if it has not been imaged already.
A heart murmur could be caused from any number of factors including:
- Increased flow across a heart valve
- Leaking of a heart valve
- Tightening of a heart valve.
Stay in close connection with your cardiologist to evaluate your case. If you need a cardiologist who specializes in heart disease and women, you can choose an Emory Women's Heart Center physician by calling 404-778-7777 or visiting emoryhealthcare.org/womensheart.
Flora – I have atrial fibrillation (AF) will I get better?
Hi Flora. I can't speak to your condition without seeing you in person, but for many people, atrial fibrillation can get better. Some people have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes and some are in AF all the time. Typically, depending on a patient's symptoms while they are in AF there are a variety of treatment options available ranging from medications to surgical procedures. How an individual feels with the diagnosis can vary so it is important to visit your cardiologist and discuss your particular case in person.
Imelda – Is taking baby aspirin now is safe?
Dr. Cutchins:
Like most medication, taking baby aspirin can provide side effects and is risky in some populations of people. In some cases it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. In certain populations, such as women over the age of 65, the benefit outweighs the risk. For women over 65 who are at risk for heart disease and have well controlled blood pressure, a baby aspirin is recommended to decrease the risk of stroke and heart attack. Also women of any age with diabetes or diagnosed coronary artery disease, who do not have a contraindication, typically should take a daily baby aspirin. We always recommend to patients that they consult with their physician prior to taking any new medication to make sure it does not interact with any other medication the patient may be taking.
Imelda – Is fish oil and vitamin E is good for the heart?
Fish oil is useful for women with high cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The recommendation is to take 1800mg/day of "EPA" which should be found on the bottle. Also fatty fish such as salmon, is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids that are protective. For more information on how fish oil can improve your heart & brain health please visit this blog on fish oil, posted last week on the Emory Advancing your Health Blog.
I am not as familiar with the benefits and risks associated with taking Vitamin E but it is not specifically recommended for women by the American Heart Association.

New York firefighter Patrick Sullivan (Morgan) had no idea his seemingly idyllic life was about to go up in smoke — especially as the unwitting, second-hand recipient of advice from famed love expert and radio host Dr. Emma Lloyd (Thurman). One day he is a happy-go-lucky guy looking forward to a life with his soon-to-be-bride. Then, his fiancée Sophia (Justina Machado) is seeking couples counseling on the radio from Dr. Lloyd. Lloyd questions Sophia's concept of romantic love and advises her to break their engagement, which she swiftly does.
Patrick is so upset that when he hears that Emma is about to be married herself, he allows his young neighbour, an Indian computer whiz-kid to hack into public records and create a fake marriage between himself and Emma, because he wants to force a confrontation. Emma is told she cannot marry her perfect-gentleman fiancé, Richard (Firth), because she is already married. She has no choice but to confront Patrick, who decides to repeatedly lie to her about his intentions. In fact, after stringing her along with lie upon lie, he finds out that he is attracted to her, and makes a play for her romantically. He proceeds to inject himself into her life, causes her to have to lie herself, to her beloved fiancé. Emma is drawn to his immense charisma but tries to ignore it.
But both Patrick and Emma are miserable with their separate lives. One day before her wedding, Patrick calls her at the radio station and tells her that he loves her. She does not answer him. She confides in her father and asks his advice. He tells her that the decision is hers. At the next day, Emma and her guests arrive early to the church and are getting ready for the wedding. There, Richard tells her that he wants her to be happy and decides to let her marry the man she has fallen in love with. Richard had also heard the radio show the night before and recognized Patrick telling Emma of his love for her. Richard then walks away while Emma activates the sprinkler system with a burning paper. The sprinklers drench the guests who then leave the church to dry. During this time, Emma's father calls the fire department where Patrick works and asks them to come to the church. When Patrick arrives there, they get married, and live happily ever after. The final scene shifts to a year later where it is shown that Emma is pregnant, and that she and Patrick are still very much in love.

Obama to Order Job Protections for Transgender Federal Workers
Order to Come as Legislation Barring Employment Discrimination Is Stuck in House
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said Monday that he would order new employment protections for federal workers who are transgender, adding to existing protections for gay and lesbian government staff.
The president said he would put the rules into an executive order, but gave no further details. He promised earlier this month to sign a related executive order prohibiting employment discrimination by federal contractors based on both sexual orientation and gender identity....

Creating A Capsule Wardrobe Part 2 // Choosing a Colour Palette
I love colour. In fact I have had almost every colour of the rainbow painted on the walls in my house at some stage. (I also love to decorate but thats a tale for a another time). Having such a huge variety of colours results in something a little messy and not very relaxing. On the other hand I have been in houses where every single wall, every piece of furniture and all the art on the walls is black and white, it may be very stylish for some but to me it's a little boring. The trick is to find a nice balance of colour and neutral. The same applies to the colours we wear.
If you're hoping to create a capsule wardrobe (read about that here) then choosing the colour palette is a very important step. By colour palette I mean a few colours that you know work well on you and with your other clothes. The colours in your palette should all work together and they can include any colour you like.
This post will look at some things to think about for your own colour palette. The idea is to write down your answers to each question and then compare them to see which ones occur often. I'll also work through an example (my own).
Question To Ask When Choosing a Colour Palette that is Right For You
When choosing a colour palette there are serveal things to consider. In the following questions I'll get you to write down some things about yourself in order to choose the right colours for you. Try to be specific but not too specific. For example if you want to write down 'blue' as an answer, try to narrow it down a little; light or dark? Just blue or is it slightly green or slightly purple? But try not to write down 'shade 630 from the pantone colour range', we are thinking more general than that. But if you answer is 'all the blues' than that's ok too.
Which Colours Do I Love
Most people have some colours they love, the ones that make them feel good when they see them or they will choose each time. They will also have some colours that they dislike or would never choose, the colours that make them think something is ugly (even if it's not). This should be a one of the main factors when you choose your colour palette. Are you always drawn to white or pale fresh colours? Do you prefer a deep shade of red or green? Do you love all the pastels? Do you hate a particular colour? Do you get a kick out of brights, neons, earth tones? Write down a list of colours you love and other colours you hate. It is ok to write down colours you love but would never wear on your 'love list'. Then put this list aside before you move on. Try to think with a clean slate before you answer the next questions.
Example: I love blue, red, green, orange, yellow and white. For all these colours I like a good bold and rich tone and for blue I love all the blues.
Which Colours Suit Me
You probably have a few colours that you know suit your complexion. You probably also have a few colours that aways make you look ill. To work this out if you don't know already think about your favour items of clothing, make a list of them and what colour they are. You may notice that your favourite items all fall into a similar category of colours. This might be in part because they are your favourite colours too but probably has something to do with what looks good on. If you can't see a theme then pop into a clothing shop and hold up a range of different coloured items near to your face. Do some make you look good and other not so much? Try not to just experiment with the colours that you like but also with colours that you wouldn't usually try. You might be surprised that some of them suit you when you wouldn't normally wear them. After you have thought this through, write down a list of the colours that look good and another list of colours that look bad. Keep this list with your 'Colours I Love List'.
Example: Black, red, blue, white and brown all look good on me, particularly navy and teal from the blue spectrum.
Which colours do I already own
Another important thing to consider is which colours do you already own. Have a look in your wardrobe and write down all the colours you can see. Then tally up the ones that occur often. You might see a theme emerging here. If you can't see a common theme try this: for the clothes that you know you wear often add an extra tick on your tally.
Example: In my wardrobe I have many colours. Blue, red, orange, white, green, yellow, pink, purple, grey and black. You name it I've probably got it. However I have more of navy blue, black, white and red in my wardrobe than any other colours and a fair bit of dark green.
At this point you can compare the lists that you have. You probably have some overlapping colours, if you have a colour on every list then this is probably a good place to start. Group your colours into 3 groups, one that has only the colours in all three groups, one that has colours that occur in two groups and a third for those you have only written down once.
Group 1: Red, Navy Blue, White
Group 2: Black, Green, Yellow, Light Blue
Group 3: Pink, Purple, Brown, Grey, Teal, Orange
Now to have a varied enough wardrobe without going wild its a good idea to have around 5-6 colours in your palette. Have a think about what the colours in group 1 (and 2 if you need more) have in common. Are they all pastel tones? Are they primary colours? Perhaps their 'earth tones'. Maybe you're all about the neons. I'll be writing a post with some examples soon so you can have a look to get some ideas.
Also think about whether they work together well, you might have a few that clash so play around with the ones you have and remove a couple that don't work. If you start with a limited colour palette now you can always add more colours in later once you have a working wardrobe.
Whatever colours you have chosen you can always add white, black and grey as these are total neutrals and go with anything.
Example: From my list I knew I wanted red, white and navy blue and light blue. I also added in black because I needed some more neutral colours. I consider these 5 colours to be my 'main palette' but I also use dark green in the Autumn/Winter and yellow in the Spring/Summer. Plus the light blue in the summer would be a much brighter more 'teal' shade. So if you cover over the two left most colours you'll see the summer palette, or cover over the two right most colours to see the winter palette. Cover over both to see the 'main palette.'
So do you have a chosen colour palette? Maybe now is the time to think about creating one so you can have a more meaningful wardrobe. If you have any questions or ideas you can leave a comment and start a discussion or head over to our community page. Speak soon, Zoe x

Who ARE these people anyway (Read my intro here)? If I were you, I'd go start from "Zoe" on May 2nd!
If X-Ray was my rock, my right hand man and my shoulder to cry on, then Stan was my quick-sand, my second left foot, and my personal storm cloud. How can one guy always manage to say the perfectly wrong thing at every wrong time? I don't know, but I do know that something positive was usually formed when these apparent double negatives canceled each other out. Stan managed the sub shop near my office, and since I was having my regular lunch there before, I continued, and have never missed one Wednesday. I remember the time Stan asked me if I still thought God loved me. I remember especially because Wade was with me and, coming to God's defense, he reached in to pull Stan over the spit shield! Then I had to manage Wade's big temper, my own shock, and Stan's big mouth!
I shouldn't really say that, because he didn't ask the question with a sneer or with any malice. He had rightly guessed that I had asked myself (or, had asked my worldview) that question, and that I would have had an answer by then. When I began the short answer, Stan actually locked the door to his sub shop at 12:20 during a Wednesday lunch hour and sat down with me and Wade to hear the long answer. For the next 27 minutes (I know because I read about it in the paper) the door was repeatedly tried and only rattled, hungry wannabe customers glared in at the three of us sitting, of course, right by the window, Wade ate two 12 inch subs (and later complained that I ordered too many banana peppers on mine!) while still hoping I would let him clobber Stan, and I sat and talked about my favorite subject: God's perfect love.
Stan never took his eyes off of mine, and never said a word until I was done. Then he said "Right", unlocked the door and began rebuking his most faithful customers for complaining. "You just had lunch yesterday!" he yelled.
Stan wavers between faithful and foolish, trusting and testing. He knows there's something there, but will he believe? What do you think?

I have a question. But first my explanation. When getting groceries for a feast, I usually just use what spices I have in my kitchen, or purchase what I think I'll need from my own pocket. I figure what small amounts I use aren't that expensive, I know how fresh they are, and if I douse a whole purchased quantity I can then add it to my budget. If there are leftovers, by buying the spices & herbs myself, I keep it. How do other cooks handle this?

Our shire has some containers of spices, all in dated containers so we know how old it is. Usually anything I need is in the shire stores, but not always. We don't, for instance, keep a store of cubebs or grains around, so I use my own for that. But black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and so forth we nearly always have. Fresh herbs I buy as needed, and sometimes dried ones depending on what's in the stores.

I'm lucky to have a natural foods store close by, where I can get small quantities of spices from the bulk bins. So I calculate how much I'll need and buy it fresh, paying out of he feast budget. (If it's just a teaspoon or so of something, yes, I generally just use what I already have on hand.) There usually isn't much left over this way, but if there is I keep the leftovers since they won't keep until the next event and there's no telling what spices the next cook will need anyway.

Our group tends to store dry goods. Spices, etc. get purchased on the feast budget. Leftovers go in the spice box. It only gets to be a problem when I find the odd moldy ginger root/garlic bulb/box of currants, or leaky bottle in there. If I can't identify something by smell, it gets pitched. Even if the stuff was dated (some of it is...), I'd still have to do this. Storage conditions can be a bit unpredictable. The spice box is stored in an area cooler than the rest of the house, which prolongs their life, but it gets transported in peoples' trunks....
Understand, we're in an area with many ethnic groceries, so spices aren't as expensive as they might be elsewhere.

Dow Jones Average
Although the industrial average is the most frequently cited, it has been criticized for consisting of only blue-chip stocks and for its inability to adjust accurately—in spite of a sophisticated mathematical formula—for dividends and stock splits some analysts feel that other indexes, such as the Standard & Poor's 500, are more accurate reflections of market activity. The average is quoted in points, not in dollars in 1896, the industrial average was at 40.94 points. In 1972 the average passed 1,000, and in 1999 it closed above 10,000. The industrial average is often taken as an indicator of the stock market's growth or shrinkage (and thus the strength or weakness of the U.S. economy). In 1929 the average dropped more than 12%, reflecting the crash of the stock market and the start of the Great Depression in the
crash of 1987 the average dropped more than 22%. Other Dow Jones averages include the Dow Jones 20 Bond Average, the Dow Jones Municipal Bond Yield Average, and the Dow Jones Internet Indexes.

School reports - what you like or want to see in them.(19 Posts)
Our school is considering changing the format of the school report and we as parents have been invited to a meeting to discuss what we would like to have included, what information we would like etc.
Up until now the reports have been fairly traditional, subject by subject with a small passage about what has been covered and a statement something like "x is working at/below/above the level expected for their age. Followed by a bit from both the class and head teachers.
What is included in your school report and what isn't but you would like to have? I'm looking for some ideas to consider before I go to the meeting.
Personally, I would like to know what NC level my child is working at in reading, writing, maths and science. I would like to know the expected level for their year group.
I would also like to see a couple of short sentences (no more) about my child for each of these subject areas and the foundation subjects as a whole. These should be personal. Ideally a strength and a target.
The NC levels help me to understand the 'things' my DC can do. A very quick search on Google (or a generic printout given out with all reports) will tell me what a level 2 for writing looks like. What I really don't want to see is a report that is just an expansion of NC level descriptor statements along the lines of 'Arya jr is starting to be able to describe how an author creates tension in a text'.
From experience in teaching I know that the more a teacher is 'expected' to write, the less personal and more cut-and-paste it becomes. Eventually, one DC's report becomes identical to someone else's in everything but name. Sometimes even they get missed! I remember once seeing a report for a Holly who turned into a Hannah half-way through. At this point the report becomes utterly meaningless.
another vote for NC levels (including sub levels), And, if at all possible, a bit of straight speaking.
On the other hand the list of what the child has studied (e.g. he enjoyed the tudors and took part in guided meditation" ) is almost useless.
I'd like some information on what dc has achieved and what the next target is. Nc levels don't give enough information on their own.
we only got one sentence for each of the foundation subjects last year. it was not enough. personally i would have found writing just one sentence quite hard as well. space for about 3, but does not need to be filled. (are you listening ht?) (sometimes a child is really good (or bad) at , say art or geography and more needs to be said. other times, well one sentence is enough!) (what does one write for re when you have had them for only half a term before the damn thing needs to be written?) flexible system so that the parent does not feel short changed by a couple of nearly empty boxes!) comments banks are useful, but need to be flexible too otherrwise it is really difficult to write something personal. do not go the way of filling in those little squares to make reports, they are very frustrating.
space for 3 sentences about reading and writing and 1 for s and l with targets for reading and writing (one each) 3 or 4 sentences for maths and science as there are quite a few areas. definitely a target/help at home for maths.
definitely nc levels for reading writing, maths and science. there is a place for the bog standard needs to do statement here
reports for some children are quite similar. if they are working in the same group, they will have covered the same stuff and will be working at similar level.
I want to know about pe as dd struggles and ds has the potential to be quite good,
if he stopped screaming and was able to complete a pe lesson without distress
I also don't like the lists of things they've studied - seemed a waste of the poor teacher's time to type that. I did reports when we had to handwrite them, in ink <old gimmer>, so I do sympathise.
I love the comments about the dc's characters, and the little paragraph from the head teacher.
We have quite a high turn around in our school and see lots of school reports - some we like, some we don't.
Anyway, because of this, we always have a new idea, year on year, how to make ours perfect for teachers and parents, using all the good ideas from other schools.
Well, tell you what..... they change every year. Some take ages, some are tick lists that parents hate.
However, last year, we seemed to have reached some kind of compromise that everyone is happy with:
There is a general page to start, with the child's name and a jolly (or not so jolly) paragraph about their year at school.
Page 2 is the maths and english page. This is just a report of the child's work in the year, that will state, in addition to achievement, whether above/at or below expected and whether they're trying hard. Targets are given for these, which are used by the next year's teacher (and therefore not a waste of time).
Page 3 is a set of tables for the other subjects with tick boxes for achievement and effort (well below, below, expected, etc)
They are really easy to write; parents are happy. What more can we want?
oh and room for about 5 sentences about attitude/friendships etc. again does not have to be filled but some need more than others.
ahh yes, the days of handwriting reports. a calligraphy pen, nice writing, nice large writing!! oh and the sorrow of having to rewrite if making a mistake near the end. <gets out zimmerfraame>
best reports... bank of statements with the ability to customise. hand written reports only used a bank of statements anyway. a smaller bank of statements that the teacher rmade up.
Our reports are about 9 pages each. It's ridiculous. We have to write 300 words for reading, writing and maths, then 500 for topic, 300 for pshe and 500 for general. Takes forever.
I should really start them now...
Levels,progress,targets,national expectations.
Anything they struggled on or excel in.
Couple of sentences on social aspects.
English,maths and science detail.
A general overview printout of work covered as an extra would be good(haven't a clue what my dc do).
What squarepebbles said. Particularly anything they do particularly well or badly and areas they need to work on. Practical suggestions for improvement.
A clamp down on cut and paste phrases like "coryds enjoyed the topic on Victorian schools"- particularly disheartening when you happen to remember that that was the week coryds was off with chickenpox.
DD in reception so not had a report before so not really sure.
I suppose I would LIKE to have a bit of a 'achieving well/stuggling with' obviously, levels of things if known, I would quite like to know if she shows particular interest in certain subjects or particular disinterest in something as it will help me understand her school experience.
obviously reception is very different but if she was yr2 for example I would quite like something like
although history is not a subject she enjoys she has tried hard and made progress
or equally
Geography is not a subject that comes easily to her but she shows great enthusiasm
or something like that. mind I suppose lots of parents might not like that but to me if I knew she didn't enjoy a subject then perhaps I could come up with ways to encourage an interest in it out of school. lots of kids could be interested in history if they realised what it was actually about for example.
I would want to know if she was naughty or disrespectful, lazy etc but again I know many people would prefer those to be omitted.
However naturally I am expecting to be told my DD is wondeful, popular with children and teachers and on course to achieve wonderful things
Those are all really useful thanks, I'm keen to have NC levels and areas for improvement. I don't need a list of what he's learned about because we talk about it during the year. I would like to know about how hard he tries and what his strengths are.
I think those are the key things aren't they Fuzzymum1. Effort, strengths and interests.
My DD is in Y9 and has just been choosing her GCSE options. What I'd have liked at last parents' evening would have been an opportunity to talk with one of her teachers about her choice of options overall, why she was choosing them, where she felt her strengths and interests lay, and any ideas of what she might like to take further at A level and Uni and career ideas. I felt just talking to her individual subject teachers didn't really give the opportunity to look at things broadly enough, or far enough into the future. I'd have liked more opportunity to say that she is particularly enjoying the humanities but also especially interested in biology and the natural world. Some useful and encouraging conversations with geography teacher about environmental sciences and their link between geography and biology, but on the whole most teachers had quite a narrow focus on their own subject. I think a more holistic focus on the child and their interests and strengths is needed, especially at important junctures in their school and life careers.
So, regarding school reports, again more general comments picking out strengths for each student would be helpful I think. ATM general comments seem to focus more on behaviour and overall learning skills, so not quite specific enough I think.
Am sitting at my kitchen table writing reports as I speak! I like to break the back of them in the Easter hols so later in the year it is simply an editing job.
Ours are like ipadquietly's. Much easier to write than the huge paragraph on everything!
Hi Fuzzymum1
We get reports like yours (subject by subject breakdown with a paragraph per subject) but gradual parent pressure has meant that the school now includes information on national curriculum levels for parents (which in effect become 'grades') attained for Reading, Writing and Maths.
In part this was because almost everybody (and we do compare notes by the way) got virtually the same report. It was so obviously cut and pasted that it really lost value. There was also a lot of anger in from Y6 parents who had younger pupils in the school, when their Y6 child didn't meet NC Level 4s when all the reports said they were working 'at expected level'.
So as a parent I think incorporating a briefer summary by subject - maybe as a grid with ticks in below/ at/ above expected level for non-NC Level subjects (RE/ history/ D&T etc...) would be fine. I know DD2 made a pencil case and enjoyed it - I don't need to hear it from you and you don't need to spend the time typing it (copying & pasting it) over and over again. Moreover I've had friends get DC enjoyed making a pencil case and they knew DC hated that project, so they just end up feeling the teacher doesn't really know/ notice their child.
I think a brief statement on whether expected progress has been made (e.g. 2 NC sub-levels) in English/ Science/ Maths is essential.
I also think that some honest guidance on what to work on over the summer (areas of weakness) would be appreciated. For example: DC has mastered addition/ subtraction with numbers up to 20 and over the summer we would encourage you to continue to work on this using the games on our class Moodle page/ My maths/ etc... and it may be an idea to try and tackle numbers >20. Games for this can be found on Year Xs class page on Moodle/ My Maths/ etc...
It would be nice to have some suggestions of books to read over the summer. For example: DC has made brilliant progress in Literacy over this year and is now 'free reading'. The list below are some suggestions of appropriate reading level books he might like to check out of a library/ purchase over the summer. Or DC really enjoy books with lots of illustrations and brief text. We encourage you to continue to read this style of book but try to encourage as much sounding out as you can.
If there are genuine struggles for a pupil - why not make solid suggestions on what parents can do over the summer to help 'close the gap'.
I would like something that is mostly about my DD, not the current format that we get from our (infant) school on which 2/3 of the text is explaining Curriculum for Excellence domains, levels and assessment. Lst year (P2) it ran to 4 pages but I swear only about 400 words were actually about DD herself. OK, CfE rant over ......
I agree with much of what's already been said, in particular
- is my child achieving as expected for her stage (and to be honest I'd quite like to know where she is on the overall scale in any particular area, although granted this can kind of be worked out by the groups they are working in)
- a clear statement of strengths and honest assessment of weaknesses
- what we, as parents, can do to help adress weaknesses and development
- definitely something about social skills and friendships (eg DD mixes well with her classmates/has a small group of close friends)

To find out more visit the Science and Health & Social Science pathways page.
Course content
What will you study?
Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
In your first year you will explore the fundamentals of this exciting and dynamic subject, learning subject knowledge and skills essential for more advanced study. Modules at this level allow you to find out more about the fascinating research and consultancy activities undertaken by staff.
What really sets this course apart from others is its practical, hands-on emphasis. As a student at Worcester, you will enjoy a generous fieldwork programme, seminars, computer-based practicals and a friendly and supportive learning environment. These activities help you to understand subject knowledge and develop a wide range of specialist and transferable skills, invaluable for employment or further study. This approach, repeatedly praised by external experts, is complemented by an assessment strategy that focuses on coursework rather than formal examinations.
Teaching and Assessment
How will you be taught?
We enable you to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip you for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement.
A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support through the personal academic tutoring system enables you to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences that will enable you to flourish and be successful.
All modules within the BA Human Geography programme aim to encourage learners to engage in discussion of key issues and application of key concepts. Students are taught through a combination of fieldwork, seminars, presentations, tutorials, laboratory work, project work, and online activities.
In addition, meetings with personal academic tutors are scheduled on at least 4 occasions in the first year, and three occasions in the second and third year of the course. You have an opportunity to meet with your personal academic tutor on more occasions if you wish. A key aim of the academic tutorial programme is to provide you with support for your academic studies.
In the second semester in the second year of your course, you have an option to study abroad for a semester at a university either in Europe or in an international location. Previous students have studies abroad for one semester at an American, Canadian, Australian and Spanish university. Other destinations are also available.
During your course, you will have access to a wide range of specialist resources, including a fully equipped GIS Mapping and Visualization Suite, which provides access to high-end computers, industry standard GIS (ArcGIS), statistical analysis software, and other mapping and remote sensing software. You will also have access to a variety of field equipment, laboratories for teaching and research, and industry-standard design software to prepare you for future employment.
Contact time
In a typical week, you will have approximately 12-16 contact hours of teaching. The exact contact hours will depend on the optional modules selected. In the final year, you will normally have slightly less contact time in order carry out more independent study. The type of teaching activities varies per module, but an example of teaching activities for a first year module for one semester are:
- 20 hours of (large group) lectures
- 12 hours of seminars
- 12 hours of discussion groups
- 4 hours of fieldwork activities
Independent self-study
In addition to the 12-16 hours of contact time, you are expected to undertake approximately 21-25 hours of personal self-study per week respectively. Typically, this will involve visiting the library and carrying out recommended reading, planning and writing assignments, and undertaking group work.
Independent learning is supported by a range of excellent learning facilities, including the Hive and library resources, the virtual learning environment, and extensive electronic learning resources.
Teaching staff
You will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course. The team includes professors in human and physical geography, senior academics with industry experience, demonstrators and technicians. Postgraduate research students who have undertaken teacher training may also contribute to the teaching of seminars under the supervision of the module leader.
Teaching is informed by the research and consultancy, and a very high percentage (85+%) of course lecturers have a higher education teaching qualification or are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy. You can learn more about the staff by visiting our staff profiles.
The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or 'formative' assignments. Each module has one or more formal or 'summative' assessments, which are graded and count towards the overall module grade.
Assessment methods include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, written assignments (including planning statements), journals, practical investigations, practical reports, portfolios, individual and groups presentations, posters, and a final year independent studies project.
The precise assessment requirements for an individual student in an academic year will vary according to the mandatory and optional modules taken. You will not be expected to complete all assignments list below (i.e. the exact pattern of assignments depends on your optional modules); however, a typical formal summative assessment pattern for each year of the course is:
Year 1
1 essay
4 written assignments
1 within module test
1 practical report
2 individual or group presentations
Year 2
3 essays
6 written assignments
3 individual or group presentations
2 formal examinations of 2 hours duration
2 practical reports
1 research proposal
1 poster and discussion
Year 3
3 essays
1 practical assessment
4 written assignments
1 journal
5 individual or group presentations
3 projects
1 practical report
1 poster and discussion
1 independent study of approximately 10,000 words
You will receive feedback on practice assessments and on formal assessments undertaken by coursework. Feedback on examination performance is available upon request from the module leader. Feedback is intended to support learning and you are encouraged to discuss it with personal academic tutors and module tutors as appropriate.
We aim to provide you with feedback on formal course work assessments within 20 working days of hand-in.
Where could it take you?
The knowledge and skills acquired in Human Geography, together with the ability to think critically about the world we live in, are useful in many different careers.
This course will prepare you for a range of interesting and diverse careers, including, geographical information systems (GIS) management, local government and planning (e.g. town and country planning, regeneration managers, tourism officers, climate change development officers, data managers, community service managers), research and teaching.
Geography graduates have a good track record in gaining employment in a wide range of professions and organisations, as a result of the broad range of skills developed through hands-on learning activities centred on the analysis of real world issues and processes.
Alternatively, you may wish to continue to postgraduate study and other professional qualifications.
Case study
Liam Wright, Human Geography graduate.
"For my degree, I wanted to combine the two subjects that I was most keen to pursue further, and to develop my own interests in. Human Geography and Sociology, although based in different departments, possess significant overlaps, which provided me with a holistic understanding of a number of social processes and practices. This was one of the reasons why I chose the University of Worcester for my degree; the ability to be able to study both subjects in conjunction with each other.
"Overall, my degree has not only enhanced my subject knowledge in the disciplines that I have studied, but also provided me with a number of skills and strategies that have enabled me to use these to my advantage. My course allowed flexibility in the modules with which I studied, which gave me the opportunity to explore in further detail my own personal interests."

The four-counties that make up the Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority will pay about 5 percent more for the FY 2018 expenses and about 2 percent more for capital asset renewal.
The UOBWA will consider the FY 2018 budget at its Nov. 15 meeting. The authority is made up of representatives from Barrow, Jackson, Oconee and Clarke counties.
It provides water to those counties from the Bear Creek Reservoir, which is in southwest Jackson County. Barrow, Jackson and Oconee counties receive treated water from the plant at the reservoir. Clarke County gets raw water from the authority. The UOBWA budget for FY 2018 is $3.5 million and the total expenses will be $7.8 million.
The debt service fund, paid by Barrow, Jackson and Oconee counties for the water treatment plant, is $3.2 million. Barrow County pays about 37.5 percent of expenses and Oconee County pays nearly 21 percent. Jackson County, which is the largest user in the authority, pays about 41.5 percent of expenses.
Sizable increases in the budget include engineering costs and management fees to Jacobs Engineering, which manages the reservoir and water plant. Jacobs is projected to get $1.2 million, which is about $108,000 more than in FY 17 and engineering costs are anticipated to increase about $100,000.
Much of the increased costs are for an updated water supply master plan.
Bob Snipes, the owners' representative for management, said the plan has not been revised since the authority started. Snipes said the estimated cost of the plan is $250,000. He added it is planned to be paid in two fiscal years.
The water supply plan would look at the life expectancy of the reservoir.
"You need to know when you need to start design work or when you need to expand the water treatment plant," Snipes said.
It also would do projections on population for the counties and per capita water usage figures. It would consider new stream flow projections, how water conservation measures affect usage and a drought protection plan. Snipes said he would "suggest you look carefully" for ways to lengthen the group's drought protection plan.
For more on the meeting, see the Oct. 4 edition of the Barrow News-Journal.

Beautiful singer Katherine Jenkins is ready to take the States by storm. The Welsh opera star — who has a huge following in Britain — is releasing her first album in the US in the spring. She told Page Six: "I recently performed with Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany, and he arrived onstage on a beautiful stallion. I just remember thinking: 'I can't believe I'm here.' I feel the same sitting here in New York." But she admits she is equally impressed to be working with iconic Warner Music publicist Liz Rosenberg, adding: "I call her Leg, which is short for legend."
And she sings

Stitch Fix, the online personal shopper for people who hate to shop, has raised $30 million from its investors in a Series C funding round. Re/code reports that the new financing gives Stitch Fix a pre-money valuation of $300 million. It also nearly triples the total funding the three-year-old company has raised from its previous sum of $16.75 million over two rounds.
Stitch Fix sends boxes of clothes selected by personal shoppers—called "fixes"—to customers who don't want or have time to pick out their wardrobes themselves. Similar companies include Trunk Club for men and bra seller True & Co. Katrina Lake, the founder and chief executive of Stitch Fix, has described the goal of the project as combining the best of brick-and-mortar retail with its e-commerce offshoot and markets the company to women who don't have time for shopping in their busy days. The latest injection of capital indicates that the interest really is there for personalized online shopping.
Lake has observed that the women's apparel market is a $100 billion business. She told me in April that the vast majority of Stitch Fix customers come back for a second fix, with 70 percent returning within 90 days of their first one. Stitch Fix has declined to share whether its business is profitable, but its investors at least seem to be giving the model a vote of confidence.

My bumbo has no straps either. And I just realized that my babies will be 6 weeks tomorrow and I have yet to do official tummy time! I'm too scared to put them on the floor, lol. They have great head control, and often sleep on their belly on me, so I think we're good! So funny how things change from your first...
The swing and bouncers are lifesavers for me. I don't feel bad about a little bit of time in there, esp if it means I get a shower or food
I will admit I feel a bit guilty leaving them in their carseats on the rare occasion that we go out. I don't wear them nearly a much as my others. What if I only wear one, and it's always the same one? Will they be more attached? Will the other subconsciously be jealous later? I'm half joking...
Dr appt tomorrow to determine if Adella has a tongue tie or other problem in her mouth. Not much else going on here. Lots of laundry, and I canned 15 jars of strawberry jam, oh and did the dishes for the first time in about four months! And now I know DH CAN do dishes, lol!

I know a lady who had one twin who always wanted to be held and one perfectly happy in the car seat/swing/bouncer. Just personality.
Alie has excellent head control at 2 months. I don't have a bumbo but I usually start exersaucer type stuff around 4 months. I think if I put her in a bumbo she wouldn't be able to support her upper body and would be too slouchy.
Now that she's bigger its way easier to do legs out in the Moby (kangaroo hold??). Easier to adjust and tighten after babies in.
Found 2 small Booroi covers I'm trading for. Excited about that and the GAD. I've sold off a ton of nb stuff and made enough for DD1s lasts months tuition for the school year. Have some more stuff posted so hoping to make enough to fund more covers if I like either of these

Re: Chat Thread ~May 26th - June 1st!
I understand the half-joking - I had the same thoughts when really thinking about twins and dealing with wearing, etc.
Usually the bumbo does a good job helping to support their upper torso - the sides tend to go up to baby's armpits and the back comes up a bit behind baby's neck. But baby has to have some strength to hold themselves up without slouching down, kwim?
for selling stuff! I'll have stuff to list and sell after Piper outgrows some diapers... but I'm sure I won't make terribly much because of shipping costs. Sucks to list nearly new stuff and basically send it out FFS.

So I joke about it being quiet and then don't post for 24 hours Nate has been a bit of a fuss bucket.
Bumbo - dh used it twice with ds1. I never used it. He slouched so much. Then it either got lost or I gave it away with our last move.
Speaking of losing things, Nate is in 3-6 months clothes (yay! But aww ) and I am missing two of my favorite onsies. I am so frustrated. I know I saw them in this house...
As far as swings go... I wish Nate liked the swing! Sometimes I am the only adult and I need two hands. I would have no guilt about using a swing. And really, I personally don't like cooking and nate-wearing. so even when Nate is in a wearable mood I rarely use the stove and "wear" him.

My Mood:
Well, sometimes I feel like its swing, diaper change, nurse, swing. I try to hold him and he screams unless he's latched. I try to give him tummy time or playmat time and he hates it. I try to wear him and he arches his back and tries to flip out. What am I supposed to do? Tried the Moby today and he did the same thing as the boba - arch his back away from my body. He doesn't do the whole 'head on the chest' thing.
He was being alright so DH kept him and I got to bathe DD and spend a little time being mom to her. He looked like he was going to pass out, so I got ready for bed and now nursing and he looks wide awake. Hopefully not long.
This was his last day in a week of getting lots of mom time cause DH goes back to work tomorrow and life of 1 caretaker and 2 kids resumes.
6 week dr appt tomorrow for me. I'm 7 weeks but whatever.
Oh, pain is gone nursing. Either he adjusted how he uses his tongue or the 6 week growth spurt made his mouth bigger. We'll never know. Now if he'd only believe in happiness off the boob, we'd be set

Re: Chat Thread ~May 26th - June 1st!
I'm with you on the with baby growing. I can't believe how fast time is going and how big Piper is getting all ready. I am loving that she's taking a bit longer than the others did though She's gaining weight, but I guess not getting longer like the others did (she is, just not as quickly as they did I mean), still fitting in all the same clothes she's worn since birth, just filling them out more. I know it won't be forever though!
I'm so glad the pain is gone for you! Don't care about the why, really, just glad it's gone!!! Hopefully the pain being gone + his nursing and some pumping will get him more content

Re: Chat Thread ~May 26th - June 1st!
Like canadian said, wearing your baby counts as "tummy time" because the same physiological demands are made on baby's body.
Ezra has developed a cough, like a scary, could-need-albuterol cough (all three of my other boys have RAD and we have all the accoutrements -- inhalers, nebulizer, meds, masks, steriods). So far he just coughs every once in a while, but it sounds bad. He also has no fever. But he has had that stuffy nose for three weeks. If he didn't have that appointment with the specialty pediatrician tomorrow for the tongue-tie evaluations I would be pretty worried. I figured if I took him in today it would be a prompt-care place, which there are none in my town my insurance covers, plus, I hate when you have little guys and the providers aren't little-guy specialists; so often they do what they can but always say, you need to get to your ped asap. I hope, hope, hope he is good through the night!
We went to see Iron Man 3 today, and Ezra napped and nursed through the whole movie. We all really liked it -- we are huge Marvel fans (Marvel and Hot Wheels, that's what you get with boys).
Keep you posted about our appointment! I plan to pick her brain, take pictures, and document, document, document for learning purposes.

I've been reading through all the threads trying to catch up. As far as using the swing...totally use it if it helps! Fussy babies are soooo hard. Nova is starting to get a bit better during the day where she isn't crying the entire time she is awake.
As for baby liking being worn, Nova isn't happy in our carrier at first. She will scream and arch her back. But I've found a way to settle her down almost right away. I basically do step aerobics--step up a step, then down, then up, etc. It's tiring, but it works. I discovered it when DH was gone last week, and it's the only thing that will consistently calm her down. Then once her eyes start to get heavy or once she is calm, I walk quickly around the house with an exaggerated bounce, almost like a jog. Nova doesn't like her head against me all the time either unless she's fast asleep. Our Bamberoo wrap tai has a headrest, so she can lean back. Here is the position she likes to be in
And a few were talking about froggying legs. I really don't like that position, so I always do legs out from the beginning. If you have a mei tai, you can cinch the bottom narrower using a ribbon or string. In this pic, I am using the chest strap to cinch it, but it's the same idea (see the very bottom between her legs):
In our Moby, I have to hold her head because she likes it away from me. Once she is asleep, I tuck her head in. I never do the cradle position; I'm always scared about positioning the head wrong and restricting oxygen. Plus, I've never found it comfy.
Tummy time--I've never done it with my girls. They walked at 8 and 9 months, so their muscles obviously developed fine without it. They both were worn at least 4 hours a day though.

I forgot to share a total "duh" moment. Nova was always crying and fussy while nursing....gagging, coughing, etc. I researched, and it sounded like forceful letdown. Some of the suggestions were to nurse her more upright and tilt her head back while she is eating. Well that fixed it right away. I had her way too curled up, where her chin was touching her chest. Try swallowing with your chin touching your chest...hard, isn't it? Duh me. Anyway, I'm glad I figured that out finally.

Lewis Black is known today as a comedian but he toiled from the late 1960s to the late '80s as a playwright.
"Now, everybody says to me, 'Oh, stand-up, that's hard,' said Black, 64. "But by comparison to being a playwright trying to get your stuff done -- this is a day at the beach!
"I compare writing plays to having a puzzle of a thousand pieces of blue sky and you had to put it together," said Black, who is bringing his act to Southern California this weekend.
A conversation with Lewis Black
Black the playwright reached for the sky in about 40 plays. Most got staged in one place or another (of a 2004 production of "One Slight Hitch" at the Falcon Theatre in Burbank, a Los Angeles Times critic found the play as feeling "bland and mechanical"), but he never broke through in a big way.

Toward the end of Thursday's exchange, Shares of UDR, Inc. (NYSE:UDR), slanted 0.37% to $35.24.
It exchanged a scope of $34.23 and $35.42, trading hands with 2.26 million shares.
UDR, Inc. is a free land speculation trust. The firm puts resources into the land markets of the United States. It claims, works, procures, revamps, creates, redevelops, and oversees multifamily condo groups.
UDR, Inc. (UDR), a main multifamily land speculation trust, proclaimed that it has finished the obtaining of six Washington, DC groups at an aggregate buy cost of $901 million from Home Properties, L.P. The Company acquired the six groups distinguished in the Company's June 22, 2015 press discharge through a mix of $565 million of recently issued UDR DownREIT issued at $35 per unit, the suspicion of $89 million of obligation, $221 million of Section 1031 trades under contract and $26 million of money. Home OP unitholders who chose to change over to UDR DownREIT Units will get an expert rata offer of the second from last quarter regular profit from the date of close, October 6, 2015, through the record date, October 12, 2015.
Independently, the Company has come to an agreement to offer six groups for $221 million through Section 1031 trades. Moreover, the Company is under contract to offer two groups for $66 million. The exchanges are unsurprising to close on December 1, 2015.
On Thursday, Shares of AmerisourceBergen Corp. (NYSE:ABC), increased 0.65% to $93.54. 2.20 million shares of the organization were traded.
AmerisourceBergen Corporation sources and disperses pharmaceutical items to social insurance suppliers, pharmaceutical and biotech makers, and claim to fame drug patients in the United States and globally.
AmerisourceBergen (ABC) proclaimed that it has consented to a complete arrangement to buy PharMEDium Healthcare Holdings, Inc., the secretly held driving national supplier of outsourced intensified sterile arrangements (CSPs) to intense consideration doctor's facilities in the United States, from Clayton, Dubilier and Rice for $2.575 billion in real money, subject to specific conformities and on a money free, obligation free premise. The obtaining is unsurprising to be $0.22 to $0.26 accretive to the Company's balanced income per offer in monetary 2016 on a net premise, and is unsurprising to produce about $30 million in cooperative energies by financial 2018. The exchange is liable to administrative survey and other standard shutting conditions, and is unsurprising to shut in the first quarter of monetary 2016, which closes December 31, 2015. This securing was not thought about in the past direction the Company gave for balanced income per offer development in monetary 2016 in the low teenagers range on a rate premise. Thusly, after shutting, the commitment from the procurement will be incremental to our past desires.
PharMEDium is the chief supplier of altered outsourced CSPs that meet particular healing center and doctor clinical needs and quality gauges in definitions that are not generally industrially open. PharMEDium will turn into a piece of AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation. "The procurement of PharMEDium fortifies our center business and definitively extends our creative administration offerings for wellbeing frameworks," said Steven H. Collis, AmerisourceBergen President and Chief Executive Officer. "PharMEDium's great reputation of development and demonstrated capacity to compriseently convey astounding CSPs in key remedial territories make them the undisputed pioneer in a critical development range of the U.S. medicinal services market.

Riverview girls come from behind to beat South Allegheny in overtime
South Allegheny found itself in an unfamiliar position on the road Monday in its section game at Riverview.
Not only did the Gladiators have a lead late in the third quarter, but they were in a spread offense to run the clock and play for the final shot.
That was when the complexion of the game changed.
Riverview freshman Sadie Buscher stole an errant cross-court pass and went coast to coast for a layup as part of her game-high 20 points. She then scored four of the team's 10 overtime points to help the Raiders to a 54-44 come-from-behind victory over South Allegheny (4-7, 0-4) that may have quashed the Gladiators' hopes of qualifying for the WPIAL Class AA playoffs.
"I think we need to be stronger with the ball on offense," South Allegheny coach Ashleigh Hays said. "Sometimes we get down after one, maybe two turnovers and we have to learn how to be mentally tough coming back from that; making the right play call and going from there."
At the time of Buscher's steal, South Allegheny had opened a 33-27 lead thanks to back-to-back baskets from Abby Dranko. Riverview missed a pair of free throws with 42.3 seconds left, and the Gladiators were in a position to either extend their lead to eight or take a six-point advantage into the fourth quarter.
Then Buscher stole the pass and went in for a layup to cut the deficit to 33-29 with 5.1 seconds remaining. At that point, Riverview turned up the defense and forced four South Allegheny turnovers in the first 1:04 of the fourth quarter as the Raiders engineered a 9-0 run to take a 36-33 lead.
"Sadie's been in kind of a scoring slump, and I told her the other day that she's so gifted athletically that she should be able to get eight or 10 points a game off the defensive end," Riverview coach Keith Stitt said. "We got into it at that point and got a little bit of a lead, but to their credit, they hung in there."
Jaylee Patterson was one of the big reasons. The senior guard hit a clutch 3-pointer to tie the score at 36, then hit another with 33.8 seconds remaining to knot the game, 44-44, and send it to overtime.
South Allegheny had an opportunity to win the game in regulation after a Riverview turnover with 18.9 seconds left. The Gladiators set up in the offensive half, then called their final timeout with 8 seconds left but didn't get a shot off before the buzzer.
"Our screens didn't go as we planned, and it didn't go as we drew it up, but that happens in basketball," Hays said. "Every second something different is going on, and you just have to adapt and go with it. We need to be more aware of the clock and the time, and on the last shot, we need to get to that last shot and throw it up."
South Allegheny may need to win six of its final eight Section 3 games to qualify for the playoffs.
"I think the biggest thing is to keep this positive attitude we have going and to keep working hard every single day and keep executing our plays and everyone knowing their role," Hays said. "I think we can do good the rest of the season."
