LONDON, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastern Europe is poised to be the market to tap into in the near future for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manufacturers. These countries have budgets allocated to improve their healthcare systems after becoming members of the European Union (EU). Their installed base of MRI systems is not large, which directly makes this region conducive for market growth. At the same time, market prospects will receive a boost from an expanding application range.
(LOGO: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/FSLOGO)
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.medicalimaging.frost.com), Western and Eastern European Markets for MRI, finds that the market earned revenues of $858.2 million in 2008 and estimates this to reach $996.3 million in 2012. The market sectors covered in this research include cardiovascular MRI, breast MRI, functional MRI, interventional MRI, contrast-enhanced MRI, spinal MRI and musculoskeletal MRI.
"Along with constant upgrades in Tesla strength, the number of applications of MRI is increasing from a research point of view," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Gideon Praveen Kumar. "Moreover, such applications are becoming commercially viable as well."
For most applications, a 1.5 Tesla system, coupled with the use of CAD, will suffice. 3-Tesla systems provide a higher resolution of images, which can prove to be important, especially for more sophisticated clinical applications. MRI scanning has also been used for ophthalmic and other sensory applications, making this a preferred route for dedicated MRI vendors.
However, reimbursement remains an industry-wide constraint for the medical imaging industry. Reimbursement for MRI scans is of considerable importance as it has one of the highest costs per procedure.
"Medical practitioners, while willing to refer more patients for MRI scans, are deterred from doing so by the low reimbursement levels which are around $500 to $800," explains Kumar. "The MRI market is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in reimbursement levels."
Moreover, regulatory agencies worldwide prohibit individuals with implantable cardiac devices from receiving MRI scans. This further threatens market expansion.
Accordingly, cardiovascular MRI manufacturers should work towards the development of automated coil-changing systems. At the same time, they should focus on enhancing image-reconstruction techniques.
Promisingly, 3-Tesla systems are expected to grow better than projected a few years back as they do not have the inherent technical problems that they posed when first launched.

Today, when programmatic buying rise up to conversation between agencies and advertisers, it will not lead to the basic questions of "what" or "why", instead, they will dig deeper into the "when" and "how" it should be done. Based on those who braved it earlier in the game, the results brands can get from programmatic are indeed enticing yet not easy – well, who said it was easy?
Brands should realize that programmatic buying is a complex process that if not well thought of, even seasoned advertisers, will fail. If you are still eager to jump in, equip yourself with these and consider yourself on the right stepping stones:
Programmable Platform
Can you truly give your brand unique points and competitive advantage if you opt for the go-to technology also used by your competitors? Thinking through will not be discrediting these platforms but to help you ponder on the other, probably for better options. There are tons of programmatic buying platforms out there for you to explore. Just keep in mind to always choose "programmable" platform – one that is comprehensible enough to customize and optimize data towards the right marketing objectives.
Data-driven Team
Being unable to understand and analyze disparate data sets to build action plans based on it can make or break any programmatic buyers' efforts. Keep in mind that even the best programmable platform will be a total waste without data-driven people comprising your programmatic buying team.
Tools for KPIs
Unlike other strategies, the indicators of programmatic buying win or lose will be the Key Performance Indicators, point-blank. In addition to setting KPIs as SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound) as possible, tools in measuring it once the campaigns are running will be essential. Every experienced programmatic buying agency invest in state-of-the-art technology to gather, evaluate, and activate data, while using the insights obtained on campaign periods to continuously improve the buying strategies they are implementing.
Who said programmatic buying is easy? No one did. But being able to have a spot on strategy, appropriate technology, and data-driven team to support your drive to conquer it will help you make the huge leap on the industry's ever-changing game.

I know force is a type of damage but can it change the direction of stalactite perhaps causing it to miss a surprised companion?
I know force is a type of damage but can it change the direction of stalactite perhaps causing it to miss a surprised companion?
DM, please look at feral instinct for barbarians. I think it would mean that I could act this round if I raged first. Please let me know your ruling. Also, if it applies, could Sully change his action to not try to save Axar?
Feral Instinct
By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.
Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

If Althir moves back with the group, no further attacks. If he stays put or moves forward, then more attacks forthcoming.
It is impossible to determine which are piercers and which are regular stalactites until they drop to attack.
1 How high up is the ceiling roughly?
2 can we hug the walls "safely"?
3 how far are we from the skeleton body and vorpal sock right now?
ok so the fallen "piercers" are they blocking the way - I assume?
Is there an obvious pointy teeth end?
(I have never heard of these lol)

By Colin Wheatley
CTFC proceed to the semi final of the league cup after a hard fought 0-0 draw with league one opposition Littleton ended in a penalty shoot out.
The travelling Coleshill fans were surprised but delighted to see former Town striker Jordan Nadat in the starting line up.
Watched by an estimated crowd of 60 on a cold but dry windy Wednesday evening in Worcestershire, Town started the encounter by dominating possession in the first quarter. Overall the first half was an evenly matched affair during which both teams struggled to create opportunities and there were few clear cut chances or shots on target. Both sides tried to play the passing game on a dry, grassy but uneven surface with both keepers doing well not to miss-time clearances. The home side blunted the Colemen's attack by fielding five at the back and getting plenty of cover in central midfield and behind the ball. Coleshill tried to mix it up with some long balls but neither Nadat or Gardner could gain any advantage, and although Evans made some fine penetrating runs from his own half, the outcome was the same. Few attacks were made via the wings, the situation not helped by a camber in the last two yards of the pitch width. Those crosses made by Astley and the impressive Smith were adequately defended by two tall centre backs or the confident home side goalkeeper Bunn. Littleton's best period came at the end of the half when Coleshill were forced to defend three late corners but the half ended 0-0.
In the second period, again Coleshill had the greater proportion of possession but still found chances few and far between. Both defences continued to dominate but in the last quarter runs from Smith produced good crosses that Hicks and then Halsall were unable to convert. A corner from the left by Smith struck the bar but went over. A low hard shot from the edge of the area from Nadat looked goal bound but it hit a Coleshill player and bounced away for a goal kick. Astley was substituted on 75 minutes by first team debutant Jordan Clement from the under 21's. Joe impressed with some solid tackles, accurate passing and a couple of penetrating runs, one of which ended when he was upended in the box but the tackle judged fair by the referee. When the referee blew for full time, most spectators, home and away, agreed a draw was a fair result.
In the last round, the Colemen were definitely at the races when a flawless penalty shoot out saw them defeat Boldmere. With three of the usual penalty takers absent (Edmunds, Leek and Rathbone), the line up of Gardner, Nadat, Hicks, Hathaway and Halsall looked unfamiliar. Gardner's kick was well saved by the Littleton keeper and the home side then took the lead with the reply, 0-1. Jordan Nadat equalised by sending the keeper the wrong way, then Hathaway made the first of three excellent saves to deny Littleton the tie. Hicks confidently made it 2-1 followed by Hathaway making a second great save low down to his left. The keeper then stayed in the frame to blast the away side further into the lead, then blocked the last Littleton kick hard to his right to give the Colemen a 3-1 victory and a place in the semi final.
Report taken from Worcester News
http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/sport/16 ... of_bother/
GOALKEEPER Paul Hathaway brought to an end Littleton's plucky League Cup run by saving three out of four in a penalty shootout.
The custodian's heroics ensured Midland Football League top-flight title chasers Coleshill Town progressed to the semi-finals 3-1 following a gritty 0-0 draw after 90 minutes at Five Acres.
Littleton had benefited from an early advantage in the battle from 12 yards with Brendon Bunn saving from Town's Matt Gardner and Joe Adams lashing high into the net.
However, Hathaway saved soft efforts from Matt Chambers and Steve Roche either side of stopping dead Shay Palmer's firmly-struck shot towards the bottom right corner. For good measure, he also blasted in Coleshill's third spot-kick.
In the match itself, chances were few and far between. The visitors applied most of the pressure without testing Bunn.
Joe Smith hit the top of the crossbar directly from a corner with 20 minutes to go, while Joe Halsall somehow missed the target with a header from six yards late on.
The result meant Division One Littleton exited the competition despite remaining unbeaten against the current top three from the level above.
"That is pleasing but to come so close is disappointing," said Ton Boys boss John Edwards.
"We needed to take one of our chances in the first half. The wind picked up in the second and they pinned us back.
"I thought we were going to concede in the last five minutes. They whizzed balls across the box and put on a lot of pressure.
"I am proud of the lads, though. Coleshill have a very good side and they adapted in the second half, went more direct and played the conditions.
"We had to defend very well and I could have asked for no more. Penalties are always a lottery, we had a bit of luck earlier in the competition and these things tend to even themselves out.
"You cannot legislate for it. Their penalties were pretty confidently taken and to be honest, I had no complaints because they probably edged it over the 90 minutes."

New Road Leads to New Business in Cameroon
New Road Leads to New Business in Cameroon
Moki Edwin Kindzeka
, VOA News
28 May 2015
Bamenda, Cameroon and Enugu, Nigeria
YAOUNDE — African road experts are meeting in Cameroon to discuss potential road networks that would link the major markets of the continent. One such road is being built in West Africa, linking the Cameroonian town of Bamenda and the Nigerian town of Enugu.
Thirty-four-year-old Enow Tambe clears his cassava farm in Numba village in northwestern Cameroon. The University of Yaounde graduate moved to the village and opened a cassava farm after a portion of the Bamenda-Enugu road opened in the area three years ago.
"After the road was constructed, I discovered that so many people were coming from Nigeria to buy food and vegetables," Enow Tambe said. "They also came to sell cosmetic products. So I opened this farm to grow and sell in Nigeria. I must tell you, there is a market there that I find difficult to produce enough for them."
Tambe's wife Elvira has also opened a farm where she grows vegetables for the Nigerian market. Elvira has recruited three people that she pays $35 each week to work on her farm.
"I pay for workers to clear, to till, but I also do some work like planting and weeding. It costs almost 70,000 CFA for the expenditure, but I am able to have that twice or more than," said Alvira Tambe.
The Enugu-Bamenda highway, still under construction, is part of the Trans-African Highway conceived more than 30 years ago as a transcontinental link from Lagos, Nigeria on the Atlantic Ocean to Mombasa, Kenya on the Indian Ocean.
Upon completion the road will also link landlocked sub-Saharan African countries.
Don Hogben of the World Road Association says such initiatives should be encouraged so poverty can be eradicated in rural parts of Africa through job creation and and better access to markets.
"The transport of goods is a global problem," said Hogben. "It is so important to the economies of nations whether they are developed countries in Europe or Australasia or countries in Africa. The transport of goods has to be done safely, it has to be done efficiently for the good of all the people, and I think an important part of that is not only that drivers and companies operate safely but the road system also has to be of a very good quality and suitable for the vehicles that are in use. The opportunity from better roads is very, very high and I am sure there are similar opportunities all over Africa."
Nigeria and Cameroon signed a Memorandum of Understanding seven years ago to build the Enugu to Bamenda road and promote socio-economic development and integration. It is funded by the African Development Bank. Its total cost is $423 million.
Two hundred three kilometers of the 443 kilometers of road on Cameroon territory has been completed.

Follow in the tread marks of some of Australia's racing greats and have your own circuit around Mount Panorama, home to Bathurst 1000, the legendary great race.
Bathurst is a curiosity. This country circuit is unique. You can't manufacture the essence of Bathurst – it just works and for nearly half a century the great race has been etched in our national psyche. It's a fair dinkum Australian tale.
- Russell Crowe
Mount Panorama is a mecca for motor racing enthusiasts from all over Australia and around the world. Its sharp hills, hairpin bends and fast downhill straights make the track one of the most challenging and exhilarating racing circuits often described as a lap of the gods.
Add to that the incredible 360-degree views of the undulating hills of Bathurst. If you can make a getaway here, include a sunrise or sunset spin around the track (yes, you can drive around in your own car), then you will be treated to morning mists and shades of pink and orange that emerge from inky blue mornings with distant hills and golden-coloured plains from plentiful birds eye spots.
Way back, the Mount was an important part of the local Wiradjuri tribe's culture called 'Waluu', which means 'to watch over' and it was from the vantage points now known as Skyline and McPhillamy Park that tribal men would keep an eye over the valley.
Now the spiritual home of Australian motorsport, Mount Panorama began as a dirt track carved out of the hills around the bustling city of Bathurst in the mid 1930's. The mayor at the time, Martin Griffin, had a vision for a premier motor racing circuit that would inspire awe and demand respect from all who took up the challenge for years to come and on 17 March 1938 he declared the Mount Panorama Scenic Drive open. On 16 April of the same year, Mount Panorama attracted some 20,000 spectators to its first race, The Australian Tourist Trophy.
Back then, the drivers were kitted out with gloves, goggles and jacket, but no helmet.
Every year 1000s flock to the 'The Great Race' (as we know it) where V8 supercars continue to up the speeds every year around the challenging curves and fast straights. It's the most demanding track in the country a torturous trek of tarmac over a 6.2km circuit that excites and intimidates those who tackle it over 6.5 hours of tactics and teamwork.
The sheer tenacity of the drivers has borne many racing legends. In 2006, 194,000 spectators turned out not only to witness Craig Lowndes edge out Rick Kelly for his 2nd Bathurst title, but also to farewell one of the best racing car drivers Australia has ever produced - Peter Brock, King of the Mountain.
There will only ever be one Brocky and everyone remembers the excitement of the races where he went panel against panel against Alan Moffat to the roar of the crowds, who loved every minute of the David and Goliath trials.
With heavy hearts Bathurst bade farewell to Peter Brock. His name belongs to a famous line up of great fabled names like Johnson, Richards and Perkins.
Now racing heroes like Jamie Whidcup golden boy, four time winner, Garth Tander, 'warrior' Greg Murphy, Russell Ingall or 'the enforcer', poster boy James Courtney and 'Frosty' (Mark Winterbottom) as well as the Kelly brothers all come back year after year to conquer this bit of road, aiming to stand supreme at the top of the mountain. The spirit of the Mount Panorama brings together racing pilgrims who don't miss a moment from sausages at sunrise to soaking up the celebrations at the days end of wins or start plotting revenge for the next October. It's tribal – you are either red or blue, there's no beige on the mountain.

Recently I started dog sitting for my friend who is a truck driver. He goes out of town for typically 5 or 6 days at a time so he needs someone to watch his dog, Darla, during the week. Also, I renamed her Darla Mae, because that's how I roll. Anyway, Daisy had gotten used to being the dog of the house for a few months so she and Darla Mae had a few growing pains at first, But now they get along quite well. And part of that process, of course, was to make the new dog, Darla Mae, feel welcome in our home, while also making sure that Daisy didn't feel left out.
How To Make A New Dog Feel Welcome #VitaBoneGoodSmells
I want Darla Mae to feel as comfortable in my home as Daisy does. I let Daisy sit on my couch and she sleeps in the bed with me, and so does Darla Mae. I have a king size bed and it's the perfect size for me and the two fluffy butts.
I'm sure all of you dog owners know that dogs will be dogs. That means that they occasionally have accidents. I consider this just part of having a dog. So, it doesn't bother me. I just clean it up and go on with my day. Daisy is very small and I have always had her use puppy pads. Darla Mae, on the other hand, has always been walked outside, so we are continuing with that. When I first started keeping Darla Maw, she would have the occasional accident. But I just don't believe in punishing a dog for doing what nature intends.
Instead, I like to reward my dogs with treats when they do their business correctly and act like they have manners. Granted, I don't always give them treats when they do something that deserves being rewarded. Sometimes I clap and say, "YAY!" Daisy, especially, loves that! She wags her tail and jumps around doing circles in excitement. But I definitely am a fan of rewarding good behavior. In particular, both dogs love Vita Bone® Artisan Inspired® biscuits.
Vita Bone Artisan Inspired biscuits really indulge your dogs senses because they are made with real meat, fruit and veggies. Smell them for yourself and you will be able to tell. And so can your dog. Darla Mae loves to quickly snarf hers down and hope that she can convince you to give her another treat with that cute little face. Admittedly, I am a sucker for a cute, fluff ball, so it does occasionally work. Daisy, on the other hand, loves to prance around in circles with hers hanging out of her mouth. Then she goes and hides it. Unfortunately for packrat Daisy, Darla Mae often finds Daisy's hidden treat and snarfs it down, too. It's quite an amusing game of hide and seek.
Vita Bone Artisan Inspired biscuits are sourced and made in America and you can pick them up nationwide at Walmart, walmart.com and select grocery stores. They contain no corn, no soy and no by-products. I love this because Daisy is very sensitive to corn and certain other products often found in both dog food and treats so we have to be very careful with what we feed her. Finding treats that she could enjoy hasn't always been easy. I'm really glad that these are now available and that she loves them. She really is a sweet dog. She deserves treats, too.

Bevington IA 50033 Inpatient Alcohol Rehab For Two Weeks?
So, I think it's so important that we have this dual method. And you're going to stand on me in 10 minutes, aren't you? Just how much more time have I got? Half a minute? Thank you, sir. Yes. So, it's rather unfortunate, these concerns that went into the Daily Telegraph, this false information that was fed into the mouth of David Attenborough. We can come to that later, if we wish. And I think I've stated the main things I wanted.
While Charlie was improving his well-tempered skills for fracas and mayhem, his program "2 and a Half Guy" (the lead part he gathered in 2003) skyrocketed in popularity, in part because of its important positioning after "Everybody Likes Raymond" Monday nights.

Once again caught the hearts of our citizens, the shooting of Gabby Gifford in Arizona has actually. We accept the tearful survivors, as well as member of the family of those who were killed in cold blood. Our beliefs are boldly expressed in placards held high which read, "We're With You, Gabby" as the motorcade carries her wounded body to a inpatient rehabilitation centers.

Mind and body detoxification: This assists to get rid of all traces of alcohol or drugs present in the blood stream. In this procedure, among the commonest reactions from the addicts is withdrawal. The body starts revealing signs like night sweats, chills, or stomach cramps to obtain the drug or beverage. This may continue for weeks or months, depending on the seriousness of the addiction. This is a trying time for both the addict and the medical professionals.
Dependency treatment and inpatient drug rehab is best done through a multi-pronged method. The experts at the rehab center suggest various drugs and programs that allow the individual to recuperate in stages and rejoin the mainstream society so that she or he can lead a normal life again. So, it is not just drugs that do the work. Therapy plays an essential role, and so does the personal attention that the person receives from the experts and caretakers.

The whole purpose of these shoes is that the design is tailored to the bio-mechanics, of landing on the forefoot first. Mick Ward, inpatient rehab and sports medication director for Freeman Health System, stated that the shoes are still rather of a novelty and have "more marketing than science" behind them at this point. However, Ward said that much of the claims made by the shoes manufacturers are similar to the real benefits of running barefoot.

These sunflower cupcakes will be sure to brighten up your day!
By CountryLiving
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: 18 servings
Serves: 18
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1½ c. cake flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ c. milk
- ¼ c. milk
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 18 3 1/4 ounce paper party cups onto a doubled layer of heavy duty baking pans and set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl by stirring using a whisk and set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together using a mixer set on medium high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and yolk until well mixed and add the vanilla extract. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and add the flour in thirds, alternating with the milk, beating to incorporate with each addition. At the final addition, beat at medium high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until batter is smooth.
- Fill each of the paper party cups 3 tablespoons of batter and bake for about 19 minutes. Remove cakes from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the sunflower petals, tint your favorite white frosting (Try Almost Homemade Buttercream) with yellow food coloring and fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton #67 leaf tip. Starting at the center of the cupcake, slowly pipe the frosting towards the outer edge. Release pressure from the bag and pull up slightly to create the point tip of the petal end.
- Repeat all the way around the cupcake, slightly overlapping petals to mimic the look of a sunflower. Place 1/2 teaspoonful of chocolate fudge ice cream topping for the center of the sunflower. Chill to set the chocolate.

World's First Wikipedia Town Launches
The town of Monmouth is covered in QRpedia barcodes in the form of plaques, labels and stickers. Point a smartphone at one of these and it will display the appropriate article from the fast growing "Monmouthpedia" which covers the Welsh town's places, people, artifacts, flora and fauna.
The project is funded by Wikimedia and the Monmouthshire County Council. It is backed by the first town-wide free Wi-Fi in Wales. But most important are the locals who have worked for free, as The Next Web reports:

Human Factors in High Risk Environment
The research group is a part of Center for Avalanche Research and Education (CARE) and focus on how human factors impact decision making under uncertainty.Our approach is based on multi-disciplinary cooperation at the university, as well as with relevant Norwegian and international stakeholders. We are also interested in collaborations with other researchers or scientific communities.
1) Review current methods for decision making in risky environments
2) Hypothesize and test improvements
3) Turn knowledge into action – to save lives
Human factor
8-9 out of 10 fatal avalanches have been triggered by the affected person or group. A better understanding of the decision process in avalanche terrain is therefore crucial for the success of safety initiatives.Observations of human error have made judgment and decision-making key to understand why people die in avalanches.
Multidisiplinary approach
The program will liaise with leading national and international partners in order to bring in best practices and state-of-the-art knowledge. CARE will couple students and supervisors from different disciplines in projects in order to examine all relevant factors to decision-making from a multi-disciplinary perspective.Research
The Science Program for the period 2015-2020 will apply well-established scientific methods. Students and researchers will have backgrounds from an array of sciences (natural, social, economics, psychology, etc) with the theme "avalanches" as a joint focus.
This will be an unprecedented opportunity to share knowledge between communities and apply methods in new ways – thus stimulating innovation.

Pursuant to Section 4-17 of the Franklin County, Florida, Code of Laws and Ordinances, a "dangerous dog" is defined as any that has:
1. Aggressively bitten, attacked or endangered, or inflicted severe injury on a human being on public or private property; or
2. More than once, severely injured or killed a domestic animal while off the owner's property; or
3. Been used primarily or in part for the purpose of dog fighting, or is a dog trained for fighting; or
4. When unprovoked, bitten a domestic animal or a human, regardless of whether on public or private property, or when unprovoked has chased or approached a person up the streets, sidewalks of any public grounds in a menacing fashion or apparent attitude of attack.
Exceptions. (See sec. 4-18). A dog will not be classified as dangerous …
1. Because of injuries it has inflicted upon another domestic animal which at the time was teasing, tormenting, abusing or assaulting the dog.
2. If the threat or injury was sustained by a person who at the time, was committing or attempting to commit a tort or a crime upon the owner of the dog; or was willfully trespassing upon the premises occupied by the owner; or was teasing, tormenting, assaulting or abusing the dog or its owner.
Control of a "Dangerous Dog" in Franklin County, Florida. All dogs that are classified as dangerous and are not humanely destroyed MUST be confined in a proper enclosure.
– It is unlawful for any owner of a dangerous dog to keep the dog on any premises which does not have a proper enclosure that confines the dog.
– The proper enclosure shall include suitable shelter and protection and must provide adequate exercise room, light, ventilation and sanitation.
– The dog may not be let out of its proper enclosure, unless doing so is necessary to receive veterinary care or exercise. If let out, the dog must wear a fitted muzzle and shall also be restrained by an adult capable of controlling the dog and on a shall of sufficient strength no more than three (3) feet in length.
– The owner must also place warning signs on the premises where the dog is maintained warning that the dangerous dog is kept on said premises. A sign must also be posted on the enclosure where the dog is maintained.
Florida law does not require the classification of a dog as a "dangerous dog" in order to pursue claim or a case for dog bite injuries. In fact, there is no requirement that Animal Control take any action for a person to pursue a case for medical bills, medical treatment, pain and suffering, and related damges for a dog bite injury.
Whether a dog is classified as a dangerous dog or not, it is vital that dog owners maintain control of their dogs for the protection of others. This would include consistent use of leashes and a secure backyard and / or front yard with appropriate fencing. In Florida, a dog bite victim typically need only prove that a dog bite took place. There is no requirement that the dog bite victim prove the dangerous history or propensities of the dog. Even if this was the dog's first bite every, the dog bite victim can pursue a cause of action against the dog owner for the related damages and injuries.
You can read more about the Florida Dog Bite Law at Florida Dog Bite Statute – There is Teeth to this Florida Law – Rights of Injured Children and Adults. The book titled – The ABCs of Child Injury – Legal Rights of the Injured Child – What Every Parent Should Know – has chapters on Dog Bite Injuries, Medical Bills and Treatment, Damages / Compensation, and other topics. You can receive a free child injury book at The ABCs of Child Injury. See also Florida Animal and Dog Bite Injuries at the Wood, Atter & Wolf Website.

If you are like me and you love your food as well getting the most value out of it, finding different ways to rustle up some tasty treats for the whole family whilst watching the pennies is quite a skill.
From eating seasonally and buying local, to serving appropriately sized portions to avoid unnecessary food waste, there are lots of ways in which we can all easily provide nutritious meals which are not only good for our pocket, they are good for our health and our planet too.
There are also leftovers of course, a firm favourite for thrifty cooks who love to enjoy their best dishes a second time round. The good news here is leftovers are coming back in fashion too – hurrah!
With 'issues' surrounding supermarket ready-meals and the ever-rising expense of food, many people are beginning to appreciate the real value of a second meal freshly made from the leftovers of a home-cooked dish.
And what is one of our favourite leftover dishes? Curry, of course.
Now, I'm a curry lover myself, but I must admit I do get stuck in a bit of a rut when it comes to making one. But not any more!
The Hairy Bikers' Great Curries by Si King and Dave Myers
I've recently been sent the latest book from the fabulous Hairy Biker's collection, 'Great Curries' and I love it. To create this book, Si King and Dave Myers have travelled around the world collecting along their way some of the all-time best curry recipes.
As well as some fabulous dishes, my favourite so far Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry, this comprehensive curry cook book effortlessly explains the basics of a curry including the essential herbs, spices and other ingredients, as well as a whole chapter on curry and a beer – what more could you need!
The Hairy Bikers' Great Curries by Si King and Dave Myers, published by Weidenfield & Nicolson £20 (eBook £10.99).
Freeze by Justine Pattison
The next book I want to tell you about is 'Freeze' by Justine Pattison, a gorgeous book that aims to encourage us all to revolutionize the way we use our freezer and 'make life just that bit easier'.
Now as a freezer-fan myself I thought I'd be pretty clued up on all of the things you can do with a freezer, but it's fair to say Justine's book has opened my eyes.
Beautifully illustrated, this book has everything from 'Quick fix' meals, family meals, entertaining and cakes and cookies and it will certainly inspire you to get freezing.
Some of my favourite recipes include 'Super-quick and saucy toffee pudding' – IT'S DELICIOUS and 'Roasted tomato soup' – super simple and fantastic for an effortless, but nutritious lunch.
As well as these mouth-watering dishes 'Freeze' also has great advice on getting the most out of your freezer. From space-saving 'flat freezing', tips on freezer maintenance, tools and of course an 'at a glance' guide on how to freeze everything from artichokes to yoghurts. The only admission, Justine's not mentioned my very handy and freezer-friendly Count On It® labels.
Freeze by Justine Pattison, published by Weidenfield & Nicolson £18.99 (eBook £9.99)

Awesome Tapes From Africa are to reissue a third album by cult Ethiopian jazz pianist and synth pioneer Hailu Mergia. Writing on Facebook, the label say that Wede Harer Guzo was recorded with the Dahlak Band in 1978 in Addis Ababa, in the wake of Mergia's 1978 success Tche Belew. Album is goiing to be released on June 17th 2016.
As a prelude to this long-awaited lost treasure, I am posting one of Hailu Mergia's "lost tapes", unknown instrumental album with Walias Band.
Walias Band - rare ethiopian groove
Walias Band (sometimes spelled Wallias Band; Amharic: ዋሊያስ ባንድ?) were an Ethiopian Jazz and funk band active from the early 1970s until the early 1990s. Formed by members of the Venus Band, Walias backed up many prominent singers with a hard polyrhythmic funk sound influenced by western artists like King Curtis, Junior Walker and Maceo Parker. In 1977 they recorded one of the few albums of Ethiopian instrumental music in collaboration with vibraphonist Mulatu Astatke, whose role as a bandleader and composer was also a major influence on Ethiopian popular music.
In 1981 Walias became the first modern Ethiopian band to travel to the United States, playing on a tour with singer Mahmoud Ahmed primarily to audiences of Ethiopian refugees. Four members—Girma Bèyènè, Mogès Habté, Mèlakè Gèbrè and Hailu Mergia—stayed in the U.S. and formed a new group called Zula Band in favor of returning to live in Ethiopia under its dictatorship. Mergia took work in Washington DC driving a taxi cab and released solo cassette tapes of traditional Ethiopian music played on analog synthesizer, electric piano and accordion. The remaining members—Yohannes Tèkola and Tèmarè Harègou—continued to play together under the Derg dictatorship for another decade.
In the late 1990s Walias Band found a wider audience in the west when the French label Buda Records reissued much of the group's music on the Ethiopiques series of compact discs. Their instrumental, "Musicawi Silt", became a popular dance number and has been covered by a number of artists.
The Walias Band's name derives from the walia ibex, an endangered species of the Capra genus native to the mountains of Ethiopia. They share no members with the similarly named Ibex Band who also backed up Mahmoud Ahmed during the same epoch.
Vocalists that Walias worked with included Getachew Kassa, Mahmoud Ahmed, Woubishet Fisseha, Alemayehu Borobor, Seyoum Gebreyes, Netsanet Mellessè and Tilahun Gessesse.
Members :
Girma Beyene - Piano, electric piano, arranger
Hailu Mergia - Organ, Moog synthesizer
Mahmoud Aman - Guitar
Alemseged Kebede - Bass
Temare Haragy - Drums, percussion
Yohanese Tekola - Trumpet
Moges Habte - Tenor saxophone

I sat today and pondered this odd scenario.
Since Presidents have the power to pardon folks.....if we got to January of 2017 and President Hillary was in office, with some charges being floated....could she not just pardon herself? I read through an hour of material and am surprised at the simple nature of Presidential pardons.
In 99-percent of cases, the answer is yes......she could pardon herself.
In the case of impeachment? No.
If the Senate brought up impeachment charges.....they would have to have 66-percent of the Senate agree to the charges. If not? Then no impeachment. She can't pardon away the process of impeachment.
Oddly, if President Obama and his staff slow this whole thing down.....even if charges do occur at some level after the inaugural.....with President Hillary in office....that's the end of this whole mess over the email business.
Let's face it....over half of the Senate Republicans really don't want Trump as President, and it makes sense to slow this mess down.....let Hillary win.....let her pardon federal charges away, and to fail to find the 66-percent vote necessary to impeach her.....and life goes on.
I know....it's pretty stupid, but in this weird political season....it's entirely possible.

The nice part of Hong Kong is if you want the insanity of a big city, its there for the taking. On the other hand, if you need seclusion you'll find it. We wanted both and it was time for us to explore beyond Repulse Bay.
We took a cab over the hill to Chai Wan, a more local part on the edge of the city. We climbed Cape Collinson Cemetery. The cemeteries we encounter had stadium-like aesthetics.
Chai Wan below.
At the top of the cemetery sits the walking path towards Big Wave Bay. One might think that a path through nature would entail mixing with the elements. Not exactly, the path was paved with gold. True a python could fall from a tree and squeeze out your last breath or you could take a bad step and slide into the Pacific; that would be the worst that could happen.
Big Wave Bay just below. MJ and I peeked over the edge and spotted a school or a training facility. Regardless, the compound was nested in a prime and secluded location next to the sea. Later we found out it was a prison. Note to self: Hong Kong is the place to commit a crime.
Surfers catching mush.
"May be" is the key phrase here. This was the first drug driving sign we saw, however there were no shortages of drunk driving signs lining the roads.
Party time!
How to gut a fish.
Kowloon's hot spot.
Not really enforced, there were pockets of reeking piss and clusters of older men playing a "friendly" hand of cards.
The streets of Kowloon have the highest population density and why not with all the shopping bargains available. Sadly we didn't join in on the consuming of knockoff goods.
Turtle soup for the soul.
The lovely Hong Kong Park.
Obligatory visit to Victoria Peak.
Dim Sum is not the same unless you have stranger dining at your table.
We had to leave the hustle and bustle of the big island for something less hectic and Cheung Chau sounded like the right fit. The smaller island is car free and shaped like a dumbbell.
Cheung Chau's claim to fame is the weeklong annual Bun Festival. On the ferry we watched a video of the event, which included climbing mountains of packaged buns. We were sold on this idea. The history of the festival is traced back to chasing away evil spirits and pirates. To learn more click here.
Saltine crackers on a stick...why are all the good ideas taken!
The Chinese love their cameras. They'll go to the beach, avoid touching the water, but take rolls of film (ok, fill up a memory card) in front of it.
Baby El toured the playgrounds on Cheung Chau.
We opted for the side with the Mini Great Wall. The walk entailed scenic views of the water...
...fire beaters (hey, DIY)...
...and rocks named after animals they resemble. Perhaps we didn't stand in the correct position to see the likeness, even for my imagination it was a bit of a stretch. What do you see? Chinese doped up on opium?
Secret location where underage Olympic gymnasts train.
A sign that has fallen off the boat. At least now we know which country Trader Joe's have their signs made. Sorry Charlie, no Two Buck Chuck.
While we were on a hunt for dim sum, Jill spotted her favorite fruit-mangostein. We bought a couple for later in the day. Delicious. Word of caution, eat only the white wedges.
New Year's Eve in Hong Kong is a lot different than Chinese New Year; at least that is what we gathered after some research. We attended the less of the two...The Eve version. It wasn't crazy and the fireworks were "meh," not exciting as the ones next to our apartment back in Egypt.

We thought some of you might be interested in what is going on at a national level. This is the text of an email update from Suzanne Forup and Sally Hinchcliffe from We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote:
"We've been abit quiet on the WCV front over the last couple of months, but we (Sally and Suzanne) met a couple of weeks ago to discuss ideas and a proposed plan for 2019 including supporting some of the major events in the upcoming calendar:
Pedal on Parliament on 26 to 28 April
PoP has just announced the 2019 plan for PoP up PoPs – please get involved or set up your own action. And let the PoP team know!
Edinburgh Open Streets
City of Edinburgh Council has announced it's Open Streets dates, starting on Sunday 5th May, as part of the City Transformation – we're sure your physical and online support of these would be welcomed. Details of the City Transformation interim report and its proposals are here:http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article/2618/strong_public_support_for_radical_change_in_edinburgh_s_city_centre
Meeting Lee Craigie, Active Nation Commissioner
Representatives from GoBike, Spokes and ourselves will meeting with Lee Craigie in March to discuss campaigning issues. Please let us know if you'd like something specific raised.
WCV Campaigner training days in May/June – focus on inclusion?
Suzanne has met colleagues at RNIB several times over the last couple of months, building a positive relationship through the tandem cycling project we are delivering together. There is interest in seeing if we can collaborate on responses to design consultations – it's a complicated issue and can get quite technical, but bringing together walking/cycling campaigners with people that campaign for disability inclusion in street design could help us all make our arguments for safe, separated space stronger. We'd welcome your thoughts before we take this further with the RNIB and other potential partners.
Design standards
We understand that consultations or discussions on design standards – Cycling by Design and Designing Streets – should commence in the not too distant future. It's vital that we all contribute to these and ensure that we develop world-leading standards that enable everyone to walk and cycle safely (see above point on 'everyone'). We'll let you know when we have more information, or perhaps the better informed can tell us!
Upcoming consultation – local
The world seems full of consultations, and it's challenging to respond even though it's absolutely vital that we do! We know that the next round of Community Links Plus awards are likely to be announced in in May/June, no doubt leading to more opportunities to engage with local authorities on specific plans. Please let us know about any local consultations and we'll try to encourage people to respond.
Upcoming consultations – national
National Transport Strategy and Strategic Transport Project Review (STRP2) are on the 2019/20 agenda but timescales for effective and direct responses aren't clear to us. When we have something more helpful to say we'll be in touch!
The Transport Bill Stage 1 continues, with a number of organisations signing a letter to political leaders backing the Workplace Parking Levy: https://foe.scot/press-release/campaigners-support-workplace-parking-levy/. – please support if your organisation feels able to!
Local campaigner events – autumn 2019
We had some great feedback from the local campaigner events and the consultation training events we did in the autumn of last year. We'd like to run these again in different locations in the autumn of this year – let us know if you'd like one in your area or if you would like to share your expertise!
All best wishes

It's empty in here!
My 10 year old chinchilla loves these! She's been eating her way through our 1st pack since October 2016 - and now, at the end of May 2017, she's a bit cross because we've almost run out and other treats are just not as good! So I've had to buy more - and will be quite relieved when they arrive because she's been ignoring me! I only give her 2 or 3 smallish chips daily as treats - and advise that is probably quite enough considering what comes out of the other end!
My rabbit absolutely loves these. She goes crazy when she can hear the packet. She wasn't so keen on the dried carrot ones but these she loves!!
Our chinchillas like these apple chips, we give them one as a treat every day. They are a good way to bond with them.
my guinea pigs love them if i would av known they liked them i would av bought more so now i am ordering 3 packs for them

reaching for the void
Hand from a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Dog from a painting by Geoffrey Martin.
I find myself drifting in the direction of just abstract or semi-abstract collages. So my challenge each week will be to acknowledge the theme in that form.
An Old Coot & His Critters
Sunday, 18 June 2017
des chats
Mordant tale of cat who eats rat poison from A. B. Frost's "The Fatal Mistake" (1894). Big cat with red collar by Paul Davis (1975). Encounter of brick and black cat from George Herriman's "Krazy Kat." White arm and white cat from Félix Edouard Vallotton's "La Paresse" (1896). Black-&-white cat with man's brown trousers and shoes by Norman Rockwell.
I apologize for being so erratic in my participation in this wonderful blog. My health has not been good. But please don't worry about me. I don't have a dire illness or anything critical, and I'm still very committed to making collages. It's my legs: I can walk, a little bit, with a cane, but it's a painful endeavour. On the days when I can't walk at all, I can't get to my studio, and when I'm in lot of pain, I can't concentrate well enough to make art. It's as simple as that.

Summary and Keywords
Since its inception in the United States, critical race theory (CRT) has had a methodological link to qualitative research methods per se. Through the use of counter-story and counter-narratives, CRT in law was formed as a way to critique formal traditional legal reasoning by interjecting the racialized reality of how law was conceived and operationalized to justify a political and economic system of racial capitalism. As CRT moved into other fields such as education, researchers saw its utility as a methodological framework to critique the ways in which racial ideology, policies, and practice served to discriminate against students of color in primary, secondary, and higher education both in the United States, the United Kingdom and other global contexts. This chapter highlights these major trends and speculates as to future directions for critical race theory and qualitative research methodology in education.
Keywords: critical race theory, secondary and post-secondary education, qualitative research methodology, counter-narrative, counter-story, qualitative race research in education

John Updike, R.I.P.
Posted by sirach39 in Books, Science, Religion, or Both on January 28, 2009
We Pennsylvanians lost one of our great ones yesterday, and I lost one of my favorite writers. He even once helped me in my "day job" pursuing science and religion dialogue.
A character from John Updikes' novel, Roger's Version, warns of a danger in pursuing something like the "constructive engagement of science and religion":
Whenever theology touches science, it gets burned. In the sixteenth century astronomy, in the seventeenth microbiology, in the eighteenth geology and paleontology, in the nineteenth Darwin's biology all grotesquely extended the world-frame and sent churchmen scurrying for cover in ever smaller, more shadowy nooks, little gloomy ambiguous caves in the psyche where even now neurology is cruelly harrying them, gouging them out from the multifolded brain like wood lice from under the lumber pile.
Maybe. But it seemed to be not like that for Updike himself. Not entirely. Not unambiguously. In this novel, for instance, it's the "scientist" who's out to prove God's existence once and for all, and the world-weary Divinity School professor who's giving the advice above. The professor has proof of another sort:
Indeed, it has occurred to me that in my sensation of peace post coitus, of sweet theistic certainty beneath the remote vague ceiling, of living proof at Verna's side, I was guilty of heresy, the heresy of which the Cathars and Fraticelli were long ago accused amid the thunders of anathema–that of committing deliberate abominations so as to widen and deepen the field in which God's forgiveness can magnificently play. Mas, mas. But thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.
Updike did, I think, understand temptations well…of all sorts. No one could conjure abominations better. R.I.P.
He wrote this for me…
Posted by sirach39 in Life itself, On the soul, Poetry on January 23, 2009
…Patrick Kavanagh did…just didn't know it, is all.
My soul was an old horse
Offered for sale in twenty fairs.
I offered him to the Church–the buyers
Were little men who feared his unusual airs.
One said: 'Let him remain unbid
In the wind and rain and hunger
Of sin and we will get him–
With the winkers thrown in–for nothing.'
Then the men of State looked at
What I'd brought for sale.
One minister, wondering if
Another horse-body would fit the tail
That he'd kept for sentiment–
The relic of his own soul–
Said, 'I will graze him in lieu of his labour.'
I lent him for a week or more
And he came back a hurdle of bones,
Starved, overworked, in despair.
I nursed him on the roadside grass
To shape him for another fair.
I lowered my price. I stood him where
The broken-winded, spavined stand
And crooked shopkeepers said that he
Might do a season on the land–
But not for high-paid work in towns.
He'd do a tinker, possibly.
I begged, 'O make some offer now,
A soul is a poor man's tragedy.
He'll draw your dungiest cart,' I said,
'Show you short cuts to Mass,
Teach weather lore, at night collect
Bad debts from poor men's grass.'
    And they would not.
    Where the
Tinkers quarrel I went down
With my horse, my soul.
I cried, 'Who will bid me half a crown?'
From their rowdy bargaining
Not one turned. 'Soul,' I prayed,
'I have hawked you through the world
Of Church and State and meanest trade.
But this evening, halter off,
Never again will it go on.
On the south side of ditches
There is grazing of the sun.
No more haggling with the world…'
As I said these words he grew
Wings upon his back. Now I may ride him
Every land my imagination knew.
Lying awake at night, wondering if there's a GED…
Posted by sirach39 in Adjunctivitis, Education Generally, Life itself, The University on January 22, 2009
When is a GED better than a PhD? Now! Kai Ma tells yet another story of disaster and despair in the humanities. One of her correspondents tells her:
Every single academic, especially in the humanities, has a tinge of buyer's remorse [about their PhD]. You see your peers in law or business school make down payments on homes and buy cars and go on vacation. But as a PhD student, you're in your 30s, still renting an apartment and driving an '84 Corolla. It's not cute.
Advice: Learn a trade!

Why not? John Derbyshire reviews The Art Instinct by Denis Dutton, founder of the artsandlettersdaily website (for which we owe him a debt of gratitude). The gist? That we have biological, evolutionary sources for our tastes, that perhaps what we like held, at least once upon a time, adaptive advantage. Derbyshire asks, why not? Let a thousand conferences bloom!
Speaking of bloom, I first heard about this in a talk (notice) by Yale psychologist Paul Bloom: the world's "most desirable painting." Mentioned also in Dutton, an experiment in the nineties by Komar and Melamid conducted surveys to determine tastes in painting. Here is the most desirable painting for Americans:
The funny thing is, in almost all the world, everyone prefers paintings that contain a lot of blue, water, trees, animals, people, and historic figures. Here, for instance, is the favorite from Kenya:
You can check out the rest of the (remarkably similar) most desired–and the least desired–paintings for different nationalities here. Just one thing: Can sombody please explain to me the Dutch (whom I love and yet cannot fathom)!
But don't take it from me…
Posted by sirach39 in The University on January 20, 2009
Here's an essay on getting into and out of academia. A taste:
[T]he life of the mind is highly portable: research and writing can be done outside the friendly confines of colleges and university, and some of us can even become better scholars for having experiences the worlds of commerce and public culture. Further, corporate life is different from the academy, but not completely alien: it has some aspects that are pleasantly familiar, as well as pleasantly different. Because of this, the skills that you develop as a graduate student and postdoc can be real assets in the private sector. Our talents, it turns out, are really quite marketable, and quite useful.
And this:
[A]lmost everyone in the humanities takes for granted that the academy is the only place in which one can pursue the life of the mind. The assumption is so pervasive as to seem perfectly natural, and thus it goes unquestioned. Immersion in things intellectual seems by nature antithetical to the coarser interests of the rest of the world, and its absurd obsessions with money and power. If that is true, then there is nothing to be done about leaving: there are and can be no alternatives to the university to (literally) speak of, and no rational policies to pursue or plans to make. Outside the ivy walls lies oblivion, and the less said about that particular abyss the better. It's no wonder that our language for describing lives that aren't academic, but are scholarly, is so poor.
Yes…what ARE they thinking?
Posted by sirach39 in Uncategorized on January 20, 2009
One of our local publications, Main Line Today, just published a little feature on Metanexus. In it, I am described as a "real-life philosopher," an appellation I think I'll keep, thank you very much. Money quote from Hansell: "The ideas here at Metanexus go beyond the jamming." I think we'll use that for the title of our next conference: "Beyond the Jamming: A Transdisciplinary Approach."
Some other observations:
- While it is true, as the article notes, that we do not "necessarily 'foam at the mouth'" over controversy, we do contingently foam at the mouth over controversy.
- The article notes that Metanexus is "providing a forum for those passionate about discovery and cosmic fine-tuning." And…well…LOTs of stuff, too!
- I am quoted as saying, "It's not a cocktail hour." I would never say that. For me, it is–ontologically–cocktail hour!
- The article states (that we think, I guess) that "Everyone is an expert, and no one knows the answer to anything." It is not a quote, and I never said it, but now I'm kinda wishing I did. It's a koan.
Elsewhere, I am quoted as saying,
"We're always glad to have rich resources. Maybe there are none like we have here, but we're still interested in these questions, and I'm convinced they should matter to everyone—academics and non-academics, young and old, the boy who works at Borders and also runs his high school philosophy club, and the churches and libraries.â€
Uh…what? What's that about the resources? And the boy who works at Borders? (Not me, brother.) Also: academics, non-academics, the young, the old, the boys and the men constitute, in part, "everyone." Churches and libraries do not.
The article goes on:
"Real wisdom is a collective thing,†Weislogel adds. "You draw out wisdom. The search for it is a form of intellectual and spiritual tourism—and the sun never really sets on such things.â€
The quest for wisdom is NOT "a form of intellectual and spiritual tourism," although the sun never really sets on it. The "tourism" refers to some of those not in academia who choose to attend our annual conference, especially when we have them in interesting locales. Not a bad little vacation, really. But it doesn't refer to the quest, the thing itself.
Anyway, thanks to Main Line Today, though, for checking us out and providing us a little local visibility (and me a bit of amusement). And the picture makes us look every bit as awesome as we are!
It's a good thing a philosopher doesn't need a university…
Posted by sirach39 in Education Generally, The University on January 20, 2009
…because pretty soon there's not going to be any place for them in the university. According to Stanley Fish, so says Frank Donoghue in his new book, The Last Professors: The Corporate University and the Fate of the Humanities.

These are some of the most frequently asked questions about doing CELTA at International House Madrid. If you don't find what you are looking for, contact us and we'll be happy to answer your questions.
Do you really need to do a TEFL course in order to gain employment?
Most reputable schools, not only in Spain, but also in the rest of Europe and in most other parts of the world, will expect their new teachers to be trained to teach English. The Cambridge CELTA is one of the most respected and well-known training courses, and the one which the majority of people refer to when they ask 'Have you got a TEFL?' or 'Are you trained to teach English?' Starting to teach English is made a great deal easier if you have some idea of what you are doing, why you are doing it and how to go about teaching. The course gives you this confidence to walk into a classroom prepared and ready to teach.
What is the application and interview procedure?
You complete the application form and email it to us.
You'll receive a message setting up a time for an interview. If you are in Madrid, we like to do the interview face-to-face at one of our centres. If you are not in Madrid, we can do it by Skype of telephooe. You will be told during the interview if you have been accepted and we'll send you an accetpance on detail on how to pay within 24h. Once you have paid a deposit of 400 Euros to secure your place, we'll will send you access to the FREE online preparation course.
What does the interview consist of?
This usually lasts about 15 minutes and we give you some more information about the course. You can ask any questions too! The interview gives us a good idea of your skills and qualities and therefore, how you will respond to the training. If you are in Madrid, you can come to the centre and we'll show you around. if you are not, we usually do the interview by Skype.
What are the deadlines for registration for the course?
The real deadline is when the course is full. We recommend you secure your place as soon as you have been interviewed.
Does your school help in finding accommodation?
Yes! We try hard to meet your needs and place you in the accommodation style of your choice. We can place you in you in a flat with someone else on the course, with a Spanish family, or with other students.
More details on the kind of accomodation we can provide are here
How should I prepare for the course?
We have a Preparation Course which will introduce you to the topics covered on CELTA. This is free to all CELTA trainees and we'll send you a copy as soon as you've confirmed your place.
How much money should I bring for my first month in Spain?
Accommodation is €665 for 4 weeks plus €65 set up charge if you decide to use our service.
Food: A 'menu el día' - a set meal in a reasonable restaurant near the school - is around €10. Eating out in the evening can be anything from €12-15 or more. Cooking in your accommodation is obviously much cheaper. Transport: The metro and bus system (if you need to use it) is very cheap - €12.20 for a ten-trip pass. Other expenses: Allow around €20 euros a day on average, or around €600 for the month doing the course.
Can I work or study Spanish while I'm doing the course?
If you are doing the full-time course, definitely not! You will need to devote all your time to CELTA and you need time to disconnect and relax. If you are doing the part-time course, we would recommend that you are doing something on the days when you are not doing CELTA.
If you are teaching, then you can begin to put into practice what you are learning on the course. Or you could brush up your Spanish by taking a course at IH Madrid.
What is the difference between the full-time and the part-time course?
There is no difference in the content of the course. The only difference is that the part-time course is spread out over 12 weeks. The course is more suited to people who live and work in Madrid and don't want to take a full month off.
It is also less stressful as there is more time to assimilate the course input. The certificate awarded for both courses is exactly the same.
What is the difference between the face-to-face course and CELTA Blended?
The only difference is the time that you spend in the centre. On the online course, all of the training and planning support is done online. You still need to come to the centre to do your six hours of teaching practice in our centre, which means 10 Saturday mornings from 10.00 - 14.30. The certificate awarded is exactly the same as the face-to-face course.
What If I fall ill during the course?
If you are unable to complete the course, we will offer you a place on the next available course to complete your portfolio. You will need to provide medical evidence of your illness.
What is you returns policy?
If cancellation is received 15 days before the course start date, payments minus deposit will be refunded. The deposit will not be refunded in the case of a cancellation received within less than 15 days before the start date.
International House Madrid does not refund payments of courses and/or accommodation once the course starts. Notification of cancellation must be sent in writing to International House Madrid.
What if I decide to withdraw from the course?
International House Madrid does not refund payments of courses and/or accommodation once the course starts.
