Explore the complexities of physics, develop a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of physics and get involved in our research.
This is our broadest physics degree and gives you the opportunity to explore a wide range of areas in physics, from the nanoscale to the most energetic processes in the Universe.
As well as gaining a deep knowledge and understanding of physics, you'll graduate with strong experimental, mathematical and computational expertise. You'll also gain powerful problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking skills, preparing you not only for a career in physics, but for many other fields as well.
If you want a more in-depth study experience, you could consider applying for our MPhys Physics course.
Our courses are inspired by our research. Our academics who teach you carry out research in many different areas of theoretical and experimental physics. They bring the latest developments in physics into their teaching, and you can get involved by working with them on your own research project.
You'll learn experimental and computing skills in our well-equipped teaching labs. You can carry out projects with research equipment and high-performance computers in our specialist research labs. We also have strong links to research facilities and observatories in the UK and around the world.
A physics degree will enable you to work within a wide range of careers such as scientific research and development, engineering, finance, IT, telecommunications or renewable energies. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study in preparation for academic or industry-based research careers.
Find out more about what our graduates go on to do.
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2021 and ends in 2024. Welcome week starts on 27 September 2021.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. Sixty credits are the equivalent of 1200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.
These compulsory units are currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new units.
You'll be able to choose from a number of optional units in year 3. Here are some examples of the units our students are currently studying.
We also offer this course with a placement year, giving you the opportunity to gain work experience as part of your degree.
You'll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
The balance of the assessment by examinations and assessment by coursework may depend on the optional units you choose.
A broad range of assessments methods will be used throughout the degree. As a guide, approximately 32% of assessment is by coursework over the duration of the course.
The final degree classification is determined by your second, and final year marks and each contributes 32% and 68% respectively.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service's pages for information.
Your overall workload consists of class contact hours, independent learning and assessment activities. The balance of these elements within your overall workload may vary depending on the units you choose.
Timetabled contact hours, which can be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 18 and 22 hours per week in your first year.
In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 18-22 hours per week, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example you may do a final year project in the final year.
By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams.
Accredited by the Institute of Physics for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirements for a Chartered Physicist.

Debates immediately sprang up in late June after Mayor Levar Stoney announced the creation of a commission to add context to the Confederate statues on Richmond's Monument Avenue. Hot on the heels of Charlottesville's own debate over the removal of a monument to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, and the unveiling of Richmond's first monument to a woman of color — Maggie L. Walker — a Monument Avenue Commission subcommittee, the State of Confederate Memorials, met today for the first time. The topic of their meeting: What exactly does it mean to add context?
Composed of 1st District Councilman Andreas Addison, Richmond Tourism Coordinator Anedra Bourne, Public Art Coordinator Ellyn Parker, Department of Public Resources Director Julie Langan, and full committee member and co-chair Christy Coleman, the sub-group discussed examples of adding context to monuments in other parts of the country.
Coleman mentioned university settings as a model for what the group was hoping to achieve, specifically the University of Mississippi's efforts to add context to the 1906 Confederate monument on its campus.
"Yes, it was fueled by several racially insensitive events, but they began that conversation, they invited in consultants to help them facilitate that conversation and they continued to work with their own faculty and staff as well," Coleman said during the meeting. "Three years after that they have chosen some cases to add context, and they also made some decisions about renaming roadways and buildings."
Other members also expressed a desire to learn more about what the local community suggests as well as applying their own specific knowledge to the conversation. Though today's gathering was only a subcommittee meeting, a full meeting of the Monument Avenue Commission will be open to the public and held at the Virginia Historical Society at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 9. This will be the first of several meetings held by the commission in the hopes of engaging the community and determining what context to add.
Schedules for the commission and subcommittee meetings can be found on the commission's website.

GreenCentre: a home-grown model for unlocking the value of Canadian basic research
The following was published in the February 27, 2012 issue of The Hill Times:
Canada faces an urgent challenge to increase the productivity of its workforce in the face of demographic shifts, budgetary pressures, and international competition.
One weak link is our poor track record in bringing successes in the laboratory to the marketplace. Canada has invested well in discovery research and produces a stream of innovation, but these innovations often fail to be incorporated into commercial products and services. In this article, I would like to introduce a pilot program for commercializing discoveries called GreenCentre Canada, (www.greencentrecanada.com). This is a strategy in green chemistry that should be seriously considered as a model for other sectors.
Canada has tax-incentive-based programs such as flow-through shares and SR&ED credits, and grant programs such as NRC-IRAP. Government support for R&D and innovation has been generous.
Yet, there is an innovation/commercialization gap, as evidenced by business expenditure on research and development (BERD), which stands at one per cent of GDP, as compared to an OECD average of 1.6 per cent. BERD has been falling since 2006.
What else can government do?
From the industry point of view, time horizons are short. There is a business plan to execute. Managers are acutely aware of customer demands and the competitive landscape, and constantly adjusting to meet these challenges with resources at hand. From personal experience, I know that in industry, you rarely have time to follow the latest basic research and recognize its implications, while at the same time, you often wonder what innovations the competition may be preparing to employ.
In a university or government research laboratory, time horizons are relatively long, work is curiosity driven, research needs to be systematic and thorough, and there is a need to publish and to defend one's results during the peer review process. Again from personal experience, I know that in the laboratory, there may not be an entrepreneurial culture. There is a lack of incentives or mandate to commercialize (nor should there necessarily be), and little knowledge of market conditions or front line technical challenges.
I believe that we should not cut basic research in favour of industry-directed applied research. That risks ceding what has recently been a national strength and it also misses the point that there is immense value from basic research that is not being realized. Instead, the many seeds of discovery which are being produced by the research community need to be nurtured in the right environment. An organization should be given ownership of this task.
I once worked in a financial institution where I developed new technology for the business. I remember that some of the most useful conversations I had were with the salespeople. They were the ones who could give me the information I needed so that my work could have the biggest benefit to the bottom line.
So I'm attracted to the idea of establishing a centre, with dedicated scientists and commercialization experts who are connected to Canada's many and geographically diverse universities, and are fed with their pipeline of discoveries. It would also have active participation of industry, bringing understanding of markets and the competitive landscape, and the ability to validate technological opportunities. This centre would be provided with the infrastructure, financing, and entrepreneurial culture to bring discoveries to market with their industrial partners.
Such a centre has already been established in green chemistry with GreenCentre Canada in Kingston, Ontario. I am pleased to say that this not-for-profit model for commercialization has received funding from both the federal and provincial governments. It has received more than 300 discoveries, from 40 research institutions across Canada, and the best prospects are being developed with the help of over a dozen industrial sponsors by roughly 20 technical and commercialization specialists.
Founded only three years ago, GreenCentre has already spun out its first company, Switchable Solutions Inc. (www.switchablesolutions.com). Using a Queen's University researcher's technology, the company is pursuing the potential of extracting bitumen from oil sands without the need for tailings ponds.
GreenCentre is a proven alternative model for a government role in fostering commercialization. It is having success in the green chemistry sector. The model deserves serious consideration for replication in other strategic sectors of the Canadian economy where return on investment in research and development is hampered by a weak link in the step from the laboratory to commercial application.

What you need to know about the Texas Testicle Festival coming to Fredericksburg
The Best of Texas wants you to know that a poor turkey has lost his testicles for you to enjoy.
The organization, which hosts festivals around Texas, said in a Facebook post not to let the turkey's testes be wasted in vain at its first Texas Testicle Festival from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday in Bankersmith Hall in Fredericksburg.
Testicles from calves, lambs, roosters, turkeys and other animals are considered delicacies in other parts of the world. And that's what the festival is celebrating — people who enjoy eating animal testicles.
Joe Bachmeier, an organizer with the event, said the festival will include turkey, lamb and veal testicles. The organs were imported from professionals that performed the removal of the testicles. They will be battered, fried and grilled at the festival.
If you don't want to try the testicles, hungry visitors can choose from burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, artisan pizzas, gourmet hot dogs and pork ribs.

Bachmeier said they are expecting several hundred people to attend the event, which will include lawn games, a full bar, live music and a small petting zoo for kids.
Tickets for the festival range between $5 and $35 and are available for purchase at bankersmithtexas.com or at the festival gate located at 7905 Old San Antonio Road.
"This event is just to celebrate the testicle festivals that happen nationwide," Bachmeier said. "We think its a really fun event people will enjoy. Plus, it's at a really cool venue."
Although the hall has a Fredericksburg address it is located in a town that was established in 1913 that later became a ghost town.

Very strange. We have never had such a problem reported to us. COuld it be that whatever is processing the form input is regarding the backslash as an escape character?
Try using the following code:
Sent by Sameer K on 11/29/2002 05:02:48 AM:
I am using an input box to allow the user to enter some data using
<input type='textbox' name='somename' SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=60>.
When the user enters: d:\temp\backup and I do a FormField("somename") I only get d:\temp\ackup - note that the "b" is missing.
How do I workaround this - is there something I should be doing to make sure that this does not happen?
Thank you.

Training for safety in the skiesPosted On: Dec. 6, 2015 12:00 AM CST
Currently, there are three main sources of training on unmanned aircraft systems, or drones: manufacturers, flight schools and universities.
"Everything's great when it's a sunny day and the engine's purring along. But as soon as you have a failure, that's when training is really important and really comes into play," said James Van Meter, Atlanta-based aviation practice leader at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty S.E. and a founding member of the UAS Insurance Association.
"It's especially important to be trained on what actions to take when something goes wrong and knowing the procedures for minimizing 'fly-aways.' It's this training that will help minimize the risk of injuring someone or damaging property," he said. "These aircraft are sophisticated. They all have geo-fencing, where you can't use the aircraft if in a restricted area, such as closer than 5 miles to an airport. This technology can also keep the (unmanned aerial vehicle) from going above 400 feet," the limit imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Aside from training offered by manufacturers, Boston-based Dartdrones Flight Academy is an example of a traditional flight school that offers drone training across the U.S.
Universities such as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and The University of North Dakota in Grand Forks also have degree programs focused on piloting and engineering unmanned aircraft operations.
"A lot of these graduates are shaping this growing industry," Mr. Van Meter said.

What I think about the UN
I think the UN is doing a good job, but the reason it was founded was to stop battels between countries. But by now Pakistan, India and Isreal are still fighting on and off these days. They don't have enough power to stop these problems completly. And the UN is actually control by the US. They made nucler bombs, and now they pass a decree saying no cuontry is allowed to make nucler bombs anymore.

Kate did a phenomenal job! She was incredibly detailed oriented in her feedback so I know she really took the time to read and examine my entire manuscript. I would say it's a steal for her to charge so little with the amount of feedback I received. Thanks again!
– Bree Barcelona, author of the H.A.R.T.S. CEO series
My experience with Kate was wonderful. I am a bit of a newbie. Despite that, Kate was able to give me great critiques without crushing my soul or making me feel like she was taking over my story. We had a Skype meeting that helped me put a face to the critiques as well as ensure that we both were on the same page as far as what was expected. Her comments were thoughtful and in-depth. She treated each one of my chapters with a critical eye all the while thinking of how it fit in the overall story. I will definitely use her services again, and recommend them to anyone.
– Liz Hunter
I am so pleased with the services provided. She not only understood my story but gave me suggestions and comments that I truly valued. I was able with her guidance to make significant changes to the structure, flow, and character development throughout my novel. Her detailed reports were written with such care and precision it was as though we were partners on this project, both equally invested. I already let her know I plan to use her again for my novel in the works. Thank you Kate!!!
– Laurel Ostiguy, author of the Onondaga State series
When I asked Kate to critique my first novel I didn't expect the amount of work and effort that she was going to put into it! Both the feedback and comments/edits on the manuscript itself are extensive and extremely useful and will improve my work 100%. Very happy with the service which is extremely good value for money. Will definitely be working with Kate again!
– Manda Mellett, author of the Blood Brothers and Satan's Devils MC series
Kate did a spectacular job beta reading my manuscript. She was professional, organized, and thorough throughout the entire process of beta reading. I was impressed by how precise and honest her critiques of my manuscript were and how dead-on her suggestions were. I look forward to working with her in the future and would definitely recommend Kate to anyone looking for a beta reader.
– Lindsey Hewitt
To be honest, I was just about floored by Kate's feedback report. I had absolutely no idea my manuscript was worth even half the praise she gave it… I was not at all prepared for the glowing review she gave me. All of her feedback has been beyond wonderful. Most of the issues she brought up were things I never would have found on my own. If I bump into any writer friends looking for a beta reader, I'll definitely send them her way.
– Katherine Cyr
Kate had so many wonderful suggestions. I've read over her critique and I was thrilled with it. Her eye for spotting problems is fantastic. I can't wait to work with her once the second book is complete.
– Sara Tilton
I am so completely delighted to have found Kate. She is superb at her job. I was struck by her many fabulous insights, creativity, strong analytical skills, and excellent communication. Kate was able to see just what could be improved and expanded upon in my story, and offered incredibly detailed feedback. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.
– Alexandra Ainsworth, author of the Men of Midnight Dreams series

Woman who thought she had kidney stones gives birth to triplets
Dannette and Austin Giltz named their unexpected arrivals Blaze, Gypsy and Nikki.
A woman who was taken to hospital with what she thought was kidney stones turned out to be going into labour with triplets.
Dannette Giltz, from Sturgis in South Dakota, in the US, had no idea she was pregnant until she arrived at hospital on August 10.
"I started getting pains, I figured it was kidney stones because I've went through them before," she told KOTA-TV.
Doctors soon realised that Mrs Giltz was actually 34 weeks pregnant and in labour with, they initially thought, twins.
The third baby even took the doctors by surprise.
"You don't ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing," Mrs Giltz told KOTA-TV.
"So, everyone's like, I can't believe it. We're still in shock, trust me.
"I go to the doctor's thinking I'll have surgery for kidney stones and end up going into labour with a c-section that night. It's crazy."
Dannette and her husband Austin named the babies, who remained in the hospital on Saturday, Blaze, Gypsy and Nikki.
They were born within four minutes of each other and each weighed around four pounds.
A fundraiser to help the family care for the unexpected arrivals, which was set up by a friend, had passed 700 dollars (£576) by Saturday.

Chapter 8 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Chapter 9 1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

What my dad taught me about learning.
The first time I saw the word 'Calculus', I was staring at the spines of several textbooks that sat on the bookshelf at home. I didn't think much of them; I knew they were my parents', and that they were from their college days, but had no other awareness of what the topic actually was. I did assume that the reason there were so many of them was because my parents must have liked them so much. After further investigation, I learned that they were mostly my dad's books. His secret was out: he must have loved Calculus. I believed this for a while.
When my older brother took Calculus, these books came off the shelf occasionally as a resource, though I don't know if this was his decision or my dad's. From what I knew, my brother breezed through Calculus. I know he worked hard, but it also seemed to come fairly naturally to him. I remember conversations that my parents had about not knowing where my brother got this talent from. They admitted at this point that it couldn't have been from either of them. My dad had taken Calculus multiple times and the collection of textbooks was the evidence that hung around for no particularly good reason.
This astounded my young brain for a couple of reasons. It was mind-boggling to me that my parents ever had trouble doing anything. They always seemed to know just what to do in different situations - how could they not do well in a class designed to teach them something? It was also the first time I ever remember learning that my dad was not successful in everything he tried to do. This conflicted deeply with what I understood his capabilities to be.
As I understood it, he just knew everything.
When I was nine and my parents had bought me a keyboard to learn to play piano for the first time, there was no AC adapter in the box I had unwrapped only moments before. My dad scrounged around among his junk boxes and drawers and found one with the correct tip, but the polarity was wrong. I knew I wasn't going to be able to start jamming that night - it was late and a trip to the store wasn't an option. He wasn't going to submit to that as a possibility - he took the adapter downstairs to the basement and had me follow him. There was soldering involved, and electrical tape. I had no idea what he was doing. Moments later, however, he appeared with the same adapter and a white label that said 'modified'. We plugged it in to the keyboard and it lit up, ready for me to play and drive my parents crazy with my rendition of . I now understand that he switched the wires around to change the polarity - I did it myself with some students recently in robotics. At the time though, it seemed like magic. I just knew I had the smartest dad in the world.
His mantra has always been that if it can be fixed, it should be fixed, no matter the hilarity of the process. I watched him countless times take in the cast-off computers of other people who asked him if he knew how to fix them. Thinking back, I don't know that he ever specifically answered that question. His usual response was (and still is) "I'll take a look." So he would work long hours with a vacuum, various metal tools, and a gray multimeter (that I think he still has) laid out like a surgeon investigating a patient. I rarely had the patience to sit and watch. I would see the results of his work: sheets of yellow legal pad paper filled with notes and diagrams scrawled along the way. In the end, he would inevitably find a solution, though often at this point the person who had asked him to fix the item had gone and bought a new one. I don't recall ever believing my dad thought it was a waste.
We also worked on things together to try to get closer in my early teens. We both took tests to get amateur radio licenses. I came to really enjoy learning Morse code and got the preparation books to climb the license ladder. He commented repeatedly as I zipped through the books about memorizing the books and not understanding the underlying theory of resonant circuits and antenna diagrams. That was true – at the time I just wanted to pass the tests. I didn't understand that the process of learning was the valuable part, not the end point. I didn't see that. I just continued to believe that the tests were a means to an end, just as I viewed through my thirteen year old brain that his herculean efforts to fix things was a means to getting things fixed., and nothing more.
My dad is one of the smartest people I know. As I've grown older, however, I have come to understand that it wasn't that about knowing everything. He instead had been continuously demonstrating what real learning is supposed to be. It was never about knowing the answer; it was about finding it. It wasn't about fixing a computer, it was about enjoying figuring out how it can be fixed, however much frustration was involved. It wasn't just about saving money or avoiding a trip to the store to buy an electric adapter. It was about seeing that we can understand the tools we use on a regular basis well enough to make them work for us.
I have seen time and time again how he mentors people to make them better at what they do. I have seen it in the way he mentors FIRST robotics teams as a robot inspector at the Great Lakes regional competition in Cleveland. I have seen it in the way he has spent his time since selling the company he founded with partners years ago. He chooses to do work that matters and makes sure that others are right there to learn beside him. There were times growing up when, admittedly, I just wanted him to fix things that needed to be fixed. To his credit, he insisted on involving me in the process, even when I protested or became impatient.. I didn't see it when I was younger. Knowing how to go about solving problems is among the most important skills that everyone needs. I was getting free lessons from someone that not only was really good at it, but cared enough about me to want me to learn the joy of figuring things out.
One of my students this year was really into electronic circuits and microcontrollers. He soldered 120 LEDs into a display and wanted to use an Arduino to program it to scroll text across it. The student's program wasn't working and he didn't know why. I had only been tangentially paying attention to the issues he was having, and when he was visibly frustrated, I pulled up a chair and sat next to him, and then said 'let's take a look." We went through lines of code and found some missing semicolons and incorrectly indexed arrays, and I asked him to tell me what each line did. I was only a couple steps ahead of him in identifying the problem, but we laughed and tried making changes while speaking out loud what we thought the results would be. At one point, he said to me "Mr. Weinberg, you're so smart. You just know what to do to fix the program."
I immediately corrected him. I didn't know what was wrong. We were able to make progress by talking to each other and experimenting. It wasn't about knowing just what to do. It was about figuring out what to try next and having strategies to analyze what was and was not working. I learned this from a master.
On this Father's day (that also happens to be the day before my dad's birthday), I celebrate this truth: much of what I do as a teacher comes from trying to channel my dad's habits while confronting big challenges. I don't want my students to memorize steps to pass tests; I want them to understand well enough to be able to solve any challenge set before them. I don't want to fix my students' problems – I want to help them learn to fix problems themselves. I don't want my students to be afraid to fail; I want them to understand through example that failure leads to finding a better way.
I am grateful for all that I have learned from him., and I try to teach my students what he has taught me about learning at every opportunity. It would be fine by me if I ever need to do Calculus for him - I'd still be in the red.

Hezârfen Hüseyin Efendi b. Ca'fer (1600-1678/79) was educated in Istanbul and served in the financial bureaucracy, being a protégé of Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed Paşa. He was a polymath in the steps of Kâtib Çelebi, using Greek and Latin sources for his historical work with two dragomans as intermediaries (among them the famous Panayiotis Nicoussios: see Hüseyin Hezarfen Efendi, Telhîsü'l-beyân fî kavânîn-i Âl-i 'Osmân, ed. Sevim İlgürel, Ankara 1998, 11); he is mentioned by various European orientalists, such as Antoine Galland or Count Marsigli.
Among his works, there is a universal history (Tenkîh-i tevârih-i mülûk, used by Demetrius Cantemir), as well as moralist, medical and mystical treatises, with the Telhîsü'l-beyân bî kavânîn-i Âl-ı Osmân ("Memorandum on the rules of the House of Osman") among others.

On 2 November, 2016, the Hon'ble Agriculture and Forests Minister, Lyonpo Yeshey Dorji, inaugurated the Bhutan pavilion at ICIMOD, Kathmandu, Nepal which was damaged by the tragic Nepal earthquake of April 2015.
The rebuilding of the pavilion supported by the Royal Government of Bhutan was completed this summer. His Eminence, Venerable Dorji Lopon of the Central Monastic Body, Bhutan and monks from the Sangaycholing Monastery of Swayambhunath, Kathmandu performed the consecration ceremony.
Speaking on the occasion, Lyonpo applauded ICIMOD in making its programmes relevant to the mountain communities. "This is the dividend of extensive and regular consultation that ICIMOD engages with member countries to understand their needs and priorities", he said. "Such practices will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its programme, therefore should be continued," he remarked.
Lyonpo stated that for Bhutan "Poverty alleviation, food and nutritional security, human wildlife conflict, disaster reduction and management, and adaptation to climate change are the most pressing challenges". He informed that Bhutan is preparing the 12th Five Year Plan, where the government will invest substantially in realising the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. "The key areas will be in realising food and nutrition security, improving ecosystem health for sustainable ecosystem services, REDD+, improving climate and disaster resilience, promoting gender parity, and improving natural resource governance with a specific importance for the highland development programme, where yak farming systems play critical role", he said. Lyonpo also indicated that the on-going partnership with ICIMOD in diverse fields ranging from adaptation, study of cryosphere and transboundary landscape programmes will be crucial in developing scientific knowledge and innovative approaches.
Lyonpo expressed his appreciation to ICIMOD in considering the learning from Bhutan's Gross National Happiness Indicators for potential application in the HKH region. As ICIMOD is currently in the process of preparing its Medium Term Action Plan; Lyonpo invited the ICIMOD team to consult with the Bhutanese partners at the earliest oppurtunity.
Lyonpo's visit to ICIMOD was also to get an update of ICIMODs programmes. Dr. Molden, the Director General for ICIMOD provided a brief update of the current ICIMOD initiatives and reported that ICIMOD has been able to generate substantial knowledge across wide range of topics including climate adaption, resilience, disasters, ecosystems, water, and livelihoods and continues to make policy influence in its HKH member's countries. He expressed his gratitude to Lyonpo for continued support and guidance provided by Bhutan. He also acknowledged the quick restoration of the Bhutan pavilion which has been a symbol of peace, well-being and happiness at the Centre. Furthermore, Dr. Molden said that the sacred prayers and blessings conferred by His Eminence will bring immense spiritual benefit and is a source of great inspiration for ICIMOD in its endeavours towards serving the mountain people and environment.
Dr. Sharma reported that ICIMOD is very happy and proud of its partnership with Bhutan. He said that all the ICIMOD Programmes including adaptation, transboundary, cryosphere and atmosphere, river basins, Geospatial and Himalayan University consortium Programmes are being implemented in Bhutan. Dr. Shrestha further added that ICIMOD's engagement in Bhutan is truly multidisciplinary and currently includes about 25 partners which continues to expand.

We started off with the smoked lamb prosciutto, Za Atar figs and wood sorrel for me, and mini Kibbeh, harissa jam and baby basil for Hugo.
Both were absolutely delicious. The lamb prosciutto was a great alternative to the normal pork prosciutto (they don't serve any pork at Le Menar) and its salty, smokey richness was wonderful with the sweet, spiced figs and sharp sorrel. Hugo's kibbeh were great - they're lamb wrapped in compacted rice and deep fried, a kind of non-veggie falafel, though much more tasty. The portions are really generous and the prices are great value. There were 8 kibbeh and they cost £6.
For mains I couldn't resist a tagine, and having had our fill of lamb in the starters I went for the beef tagine (£17) - braised beef cheek, chantenay carrots, chick peas, prunes and couscous. It was rich and deep flavoured with the prunes soaking up all of those cooking juices.
Hugo's main course was the mixed grill (£17.50) and it was one of the fanciest mix grills I've ever seen - rack of lamb, merguez sausages, lamb kofta and chicken skewers. It was served with a deliciously pungent garlic sauce and we asked for some of their chilli sauce too, which was punchy and full of flavour.
Despite being pretty full by this stage we couldn't resist puddings - I'd seen photos and heard marvellous things about the pistachio and saffron crème brulee that had been served after I left the press launch so knew that's what I would have. It was so good. Creamy with a crunchy topping, with whole pistachios in the bottom and a delicate scent of saffron running through it.
Hugo had deep fried Madagascan vanilla ice cream with butterscotch dates that was equally scrumptious. I hadn't tried deep fried ice cream before and, despite the decadence of it at that point in the meal, it was so good.
We finished off with an electric apple shisha while we let our food go down before the walk to the tube. A perfect end to a wonderful meal.
Le Menar is slightly off the beaten track, on Cleveland St, north of Goodge Street but is definitely worth making a detour for. The food is innovative yet traditional and so flavoursome. I can't wait to go back and try out their other tagines and some of the lighter starters - Lebanese spiced squid and pomegranate marinated salmon both caught my eye.
Le Menar is at 55 Cleveland St, and the nearest tube is Goodge Street, though it's only 10 minutes walk from both Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street stations too.

The official APS news agency quoted him as saying: "Terrorist acts have absolutely nothing in common with the noble values of Islam." Bouteflika insisted he would never abandon his national reconciliation policy. Conflict broke out in Algeria in 1992 after military-backed authorities scrapped parliamentary elections that an Islamist party was set to win.Thousands killed Up to 200,000 people are estimated to have been killed in 15 years of violence.Political violence has subsided in recent years but an estimated 500 fighters - now calling themselves al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb -continue their battle, mainly in the Kabylie region, east of Algiers.The group said it carried out co-ordinated attacks on the Algerian prime minister's office and a police station in an Algiers suburb on April 11 that killed at least 33 people and injured more than 200 others.In July, 10 soldiers were killed and 35 people wounded when a suicide bomber drove a lorry packed with explosives into a barracks southeast of the capital.

MONTHLY ARCHIVES: September 2013
A Generous GodPosted by Karah
In his 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol, writer Charles Dickens created the literary character Ebenezer Scrooge. He was a stingy, greedy, cold-hearted, rich man who hated Christmas and everything that brought others happiness. He had tons of money, but was unwilling to share it or any kindness with anyone else. The character quickly became well-known throughout the world. Today, the term "Scrooge" has even come to mean a complaining, stingy miser.
Many people see God as a lot like Ebenezer Scrooge, in control of so many good things, yet unwilling to share them with humanity, despite our great need. Scripture, however, tells quite a different story.
Read Matthew 7:7-12 in your Bible.
- What characteristic of God do you see in these verses? Explain your answer.
- What are believers encouraged to do in this passage?
- Does this passage mean that if you ask God for something, you're guaranteed to get what you want? Why or why not?
- Read verse 12 again carefully. Where have you heard this statement before? What do you think it means? What would it look like to practice that in real life?
The Point
God is generous. That is His very character. He has shown His generosity to us by making a way to save us from our sin and inviting us into eternal life with Him. His generosity is all around us: He guides and directs our steps; He does not turn His back on us; He never stops pursuing us despite our sinfulness.
Take Action
Evaluate your life. How generous are you? With your money? Your time? Your opinions about people? Take some time to think it over. Then, list three ways you'll allow God be generous to others because God has been generous to you.
Behind the Story
This passage does not imply that we will get whatever we ask God for if we're persistent about it. The passage assumes that the person asking, seeking, and knocking is seeking God's will above all else. The word "it" in verse 7 doesn't refer to a particular item or thing the person requested; instead, it means that God will give you what He deems best.

Constructive CriticismPosted by Karah
Consider Tyne Daly's quote and the definition of criticism below.
"A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded."—Tyne Daly, actress
• The expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes
1 Now, read Matthew 7:1-6, focusing on the first two verses. Ask yourself:
- What do these verses have to do with criticism?
- What are the key words in this passage?
- What do you think Jesus meant when He advised His followers not to judge others?
- Should believers never confront the sin of others? Why or why not?
- What's the difference between holding someone accountable and condemning someone? Explain.
2 The Point
As believers, we are supposed to be the gracious presence of God to those around us, but we aren't to turn a blind eye to their sin. Jesus isn't saying we should never confront sin; He is saying we should do so in humility, recognizing our own sinfulness and need for grace. Our words shouldn't condemn, but rather draw others closer to Christ.
3 Behind the Story
The word translated "judge" in these verses was a Greek word that can imply to analyze or evaluate, as well as to condemn or avenge. Believers are clearly called to discern (analyze and evaluate); but judgment—in the sense of condemnation or avenging—belongs solely to God.
4 Going Deeper
So, how do you put this into practice in real life? Consider Jesus' example. He often had some pretty harsh things to say to the religious leaders of His day—and even to His own disciples. For more, read:
- Mark 8:33
- Mark 12:24
- John 4:1-26
- John 8:1-11

Always TogetherPosted by Karah
Think about things that should always go together. Now, list as many as you can think of. Don't worry! We've started the list for you.
- Baseball and hot dogs
- Salt and pepper
- (make your list in the comment below…)
Now, read Luke 2:36-38. Pay close attention to verse 37.
If you were describing Anna and her devotion to God, what would you say?
Could the same be said of you? Why or why not?
How would you define fasting? Why?
According to verse 37, what did Anna do while she was worshiping at the temple?
What is the relationship between fasting and prayer? Is fasting just abstaining from something or should you also devote time to prayer when you're fasting? Explain.
The Point
Fasting isn't just about not doing something. For Christians, it should be closely tied to prayer and studying God's Word. The purpose of fasting is to draw near to God, better understand His purposes, and discern His will.
Take Action
Anna was faithfully devoted to God as she waited for Him to fulfill His promise to Israel. What are you waiting for God to fulfill in your life? How can you spend that time focusing on God and serving Him? List a few ideas below.
Week In Review
Take some time today to think over all the things you've learned in your time with God this week.
The motivation behind your giving, praying, and fasting matters. Are you doing those things because they're expected or get a lot of attention?
We have a tendency to want to measure our righteousness by the things we do for God. In what areas of your life have you noticed that kind of attitude?
In light of the Scripture you've studied this week, what changes do you think God is calling you to make?

The Truth About FastingPosted by Karah
"We tend to think of fasting as going without food. But we can fast from anything. If we love music and decide to miss a concert in order to spend time with God, that is fasting . . . There's nothing magical about fasting. It's just one way of telling God that your priority at that moment is to be alone with Him, sorting out whatever is necessary, and you have cancelled the meal, party, concert, or whatever else you had planned to do in order to fulfill that priority." —J. I. Packer
What things in your life get between you and God?
What things in your life might you need to set aside for awhile in order to focus on God and His will?
Just the Facts
A few notes from today's Scripture passage:
Like prayer and giving, fasting isn't to be done as a way to garner attention or show how righteous you are. If it is, that worldly honor is the only reward you will get.
When fasting, followers of Christ shouldn't make a big show of it. In verse 18, Jesus' instructed believers not to give any outward indication that they were fasting. They were to go about life as they would normally without making a big deal of their fast.

Last Thursday night (along with our friends at Radiocentre) we went to see All That Fall , a reimagining of Samuel Beckett's first ever radio play in the form of an immersive theatre experience at London's historic Wilton's Music Hall.
As well as being a creative way to potentially attract new audiences to the radio drama genre, it was a useful reminder of the incredible power of sound. Definitely worth a look for anyone working in the industry (or interactive theatre-lovers). You can read Phillipa's full review in Londonist

When i select "Line 1" only and copy it to the clipboard, it will contain the bullet marker (the big dot). This is quite annoying to me. Word and Word Pro behave the same. Still, i suggest to remove the bullet marker when copying to the clipboard. In case, when multiple lines are selected it is ok, to keep the bullet markers.

May 7, 2013 – Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., a developer of diagnostic imaging agents, announced an interim analysis of the first of two Phase 3 studies of its flurpiridaz F 18 clinical program has met the criteria for completion.
To date, approximately 900 subjects have been imaged with flurpiridaz F 18. The Phase 2 clinical study for flurpiridaz F 18 established optimal rest and stress protocols and indicated that the agent has a superior profile over single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
The Phase 3 clinical development program includes two trials in approximately 1,400 patients at clinical trial sites in North America and Europe. Both Phase 3 clinical studies have received a Special Protocol Assessment from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The primary objective of the Phase 3 clinical program is to assess myocardial perfusion using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with flurpiridaz F 18 in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The first of the two Phase 3 studies has passed the interim analysis assessment milestone and should be completed later in the year.

Hey there,
Happy Friday!
Today is a very exciting day. It's debut novel publication day for the very lovely Jan Brigden from award-winning writing group The Romaniacs. Jan's been one of my online buddies for years and I was so happy to finally meet her in person earlier this year at the Romantic Novelists' Association summer conference. 🙂
Jan's novel As Weekends Go is published today by Choc Lit following her success earlier this year when she won their search for a star competition. I've been looking forward to reading As Weekends Go for AGES and now I finally can. So excited. 🙂 🙂
What if your entire life changed in the space of a weekend?
When Rebecca's friend Abi convinces her to get away from it all at the fabulous Hawksley Manor hotel in York, it seems too good to be true. Pampering and relaxation is just what Rebecca needs to distract herself from the creeping suspicion that her husband, Greg, is hiding something from her.
She never imagined that by the end of the weekend she would have dined with celebrities or danced the night away in exclusive clubs. Nor could she have predicted she would meet famous footballer, Alex Heath, or that he would be the one to show her that she deserved so much more …
But no matter how amazing a weekend is, it's always back to reality come Monday morning – isn't it?
As Weekends Go is available here. Sounds a good 'un, doesn't it? Gazillions of congratulations, Jan, and I wish you EVERY success! xx
I know how I'm spending my weekend, with my nose in a book, as it goes.
Much love,

Welcome to this week's weekend sneak peek! Here's another peek into Urdaisunia: After being sent on an errand by her village to the Royal Palace, Rashali was taken to a guest room and left to cool her heels for three days. Finally, she's summoned to meet with Prince Eruz, to find out why he's been keeping here there:
"I'm sure you've been wondering why I've kept you here."
Rashali's heart pounded; finally she would learn what her fate was to be. During the last two days, she had wanted only to find out, just to get it over with, but all at once she wished she could go on wondering a little longer. Delaying the knowledge wouldn't change her fate, though; the only thing she could do was face it. "I assume that if you meant to imprison me or put me to death, I wouldn't be in that room. Therefore it seems more likely that you mean to make me a slave or a concubine, though it would seem strange for a slave to be given such a room."
"A concubine, then. Is that what I should do with you?"
Her face burned, and she found herself shaking; whether more from anger or fear, she couldn't tell. "I'd rather die than be made a harlot."
"Would you really?"
She didn't want to die, but there was no other possible answer when being given such a choice. Her heart pounded harder, and she swallowed as she tried to gather her courage to say yes.

Thanks :-) Yes, when enemy princes have peasant women detained at the palace for three days with no explanation, usually nothing good can come of it.
