Not Even McDreamy Could Name All Of These Grey's Anatomy Characters
by Lacey Womack
– on Feb 23rd
Grey's Anatomy is a suspenseful medical series that has been airing since 2005 when the show made its debut. Since that first episode, the series has aired a total of 15 seasons. Even though the show has been on so long, it's safe to say that fans are definitely not tired of the series yet and still tune in every week to see the new patients and interesting medical cases that the doctors and interns will face as well as seeing what will happen to their favorite characters.
For the most part, the series revolves around a fictional hospital located in the city of Seattle, Washington. Since the series began airing, this hospital has undergone some major changes including changes to the hospital itself like new additions and name changes as well as a ton of staffing changes with new doctors coming and old doctors leaving the hospital. The series follows the employees of this hospital both at work as they deal with patients as well as in their personal lives after their shift ends.
Because the series has been on so long, there are a ton of characters, both current and former. Who thinks they can name them all? Ace this quiz to prove it!
What is the main character's name?
Lexie Grey Ellis Grey Izzie Grey Meredith Grey
Although there are a lot of characters in Grey's Anatomy, the whole series mostly focuses on a single character. This character is one of the original interns that was introduced with the beginning of the series and is the daughter of a very famous surgeon who worked at the same hospital that she works at in the series. Much of the series focuses on this character's life, relationships, and her job at the hospital and the way that she balances all of these things. The title of the series is even a play on this character's last name, Grey. Who is she?
What is McDreamy's name?
Derek Shepherd Jim Nelson Larry Conroy Thomas Koracick
The very first episode of Grey's Anatomy starts with a pretty big surprise for viewers and it definitely sets the tone for the rest of the series. This character is the main male character for a lot of the series and is the love interest of the main character from the very beginning, even before she started her intern at the hospital and before she knew that he was working there too. This character was a neurosurgeon and held several different positions at Seattle Grace during his time on the show. Who knows the real name of this surgeon, nicknamed McDreamy?
Name this doctor.
Teddy Altman Megan Hunt Emily Vaughn Emma Marling
Each of the characters on Grey's Anatomy have a backstory and an explanation as to how exactly they came to work at Seattle Grace hospital, the hospital that the series is set at. This surgeon is one that got her start in the medical world as a doctor in the military and was the close personal friend of another doctor who appears on the series. She originally came to Seattle on the recommendation of that doctor and although things were rocky in the beginning, she became an important part of the series and a welcome member of the hospital staff.
Preston Burke Darren Parker Mark Sloan William Thorpe
This doctor is one that was a large part of the series for the first three seasons and he left in a way that definitely left a lot of viewers and one member of the series pretty heartbroken. While he appeared on Grey's Anatomy, this surgeon was a cardiothoracic surgeon who was in an accident that left his future in surgery seem somewhat in danger but luckily, he had another surgeon at the hospital with a similar interest to help him out. He was even set to marry this other doctor until he ended up leaving the hospital without warning.
Name this original intern.
Jo Wilson Izzie Stevens Stephanie Edwards Erica Hahn
This character is one of the original interns that was introduced in the very first season of Grey's Anatomy. This intern appeared from the first season through the sixth and definitely had some ups and downs, both in her career and her personal life before she ultimately left Seattle Grace Hospital for good. This intern is one that is known for the fact that she paid her way through medical school by modeling. She was in a relationship with a patient and, in a desperate attempt to help cure him, she made a string of bad decisions and got in some big trouble.
Shane Ross George O'Malley Barclay Faust Ryan Spalding
This character is one of the original interns and although there are some original characters still on the series, this character is one that we lost after several seasons. This character was introduced as one of the weaker interns at the beginning of the series but he definitely showed himself as a valuable member of the hospital during several intense moments during the series, like when he performed a medical procedure on a patient while trapped in an elevator! This character was leaving to be a doctor in the military when he was in an accident. What is this character's name?
Who is this plastic surgeon?
Alex Karev Mark Sloan Richard Webber Robert Stark
This doctor is one of the plastic surgeons at Seattle Grace Hospital and was a huge part of the series for quite some time. In fact, when the hospital was renamed at one point after the loss of this character, the hospital's new name even came from him! Pretty cool, right? This character is one that has a long history with McDreamy, having been childhood friends with him and having a rather tumultuous friendship with him from there, and he came to Seattle Grace to work after the series began. Who can remember the real name of this plastic surgeon?
Adele Webber Miranda Bailey Penelope Blake Cathy Becker
This doctor is one that has been on the series from the very beginning. Even though a lot of the characters introduced at the beginning of the series were interns at the hospital, this character is one that was actually in charge of those interns. This character worked at the hospital and was in charge of helping the interns get to know their way around the hospital as well as scheduling their shifts and assigning them to patients. Even though this character definitely had a reputation for being tough in those days, she's still one that the series just wouldn't be complete without.
Lexie Grey Amelia Edwards Maggie Pierce Cristina Yang
The group of original interns are definitely characters that are not easy for us to forget, even though Grey's Anatomy has been on for quite a while. This character is one of the original interns and even though she has since left the show, any real fan of the series will be able to remember her! This character is one that was always passionate about her work and was best friends with Meredith Grey from the very beginning of the series, so close that the two of them actually called each other their "person." What a cute friendship! Who remembers her name?
Who can name this surgeon?
Virginia Dixon Erica Hahn Teddy Altman Tracy McConnell
This character was introduced during season two of Grey's Anatomy and appeared on the series through season five. Prior to her time on Grey's Anatomy, this doctor attended the same medical school as Doctor Preston Burke, another character on Grey's Anatomy, and had a serious rivalry with him during their time at school together. That's pretty fitting considering the two of them are both in the same specialty: cardiothoracic surgery. This doctor was working at another hospital in the area and was hoping to get a heart transplant for her patient but unfortunately, Denny Duquette was on the list for the same heart, leading to a battle over who would get it.
What's this doctor's name?
Jennifer Stanley Kate Lachman Maggie Pierce Nicole Herman
This doctor is one that is known for being incredibly talented and having graduated from medical school in a super fast amount of time because of her natural ability to learn so quickly. She was introduced in the 10th season of Grey's Anatomy and it was quickly revealed after her introduction that this character had been adopted and had a special reason for coming to Sloan Grey Memorial Hospital. She didn't just choose that hospital because it was a good fit for her career-wise but she also heard that her birth mother had worked there. Eventually, it was revealed that her parents are Richard Webber and Ellis Grey.
Who knows this doctor's name?
April Shepherd Lexie Grey Jo Wilson Ellis Thatcher
Throughout the series, Meredith has gone through a lot. One thing that just seems to keep happening to Meredith is the fact that she finds out about big secrets in her family on a somewhat regular basis. We seriously can't even imagine what it must be like to learn all these surprises and secrets that her family has been keeping but Meredith usually manages to keep her cool pretty well. This character is actually one of the surprises that Meredith found out about during the series. This character is Thatcher Grey's daughter with his second wife, making her Meredith's half-sister.
Arizona Robbins Callie Torres Teddy Altman April Kepner
This character is definitely one that had a pretty rocky time on the series from the moment she was introduced. Although things weren't easy for this character in the beginning, she's definitely one that the series just wouldn't be complete without! This character was introduced in the second season and, after a really quick relationship, she got married to George O'Malley. This relationship wasn't exactly one that the other characters were excited to watch happen and unfortunately, it didn't last. Luckily, this character became a valued member of the hospital and ended up moving on from the relationship in a great way.
Who is this patient?
Alex Karev John Winchester Denny Duquette Jackson Avery
Because of the fact that Grey's Anatomy is a medical series, there have been a lot of patients since the series began. Many episodes introduce a patient who only appears on the series for an episode before leaving again, never to be seen or heard from again once they've been treated and left the hospital. This patient is one that doesn't exactly fit that mold and actually appeared in several episodes of the series at different times. Most notably, this character is known for having been in a relationship with Izzie, one of the original interns, before he lost his life after a heart transplant.
Rebecca Swender Margaret Campbell Amelia Shepherd Mel Barnett
This surgeon is one that, like several others on the series, has a pretty famous name. She's definitely known in the medical world for her relationship with another famous doctor that appeared on the series until he lost his life. Like that famous doctor, who just happens to be this character's brother, this character is a neurosurgeon and currently, she works as the Head of Neurosurgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, a position that she took over from her brother when she lost him. This surgeon is one that was introduced in the seventh season. Who knows who she is?
Who knows the name of this surgeon?
Jennifer Shepherd Arizona Robbins Jordan Herman Kate Pierce
This character is one that has been through a lot in the series, including surviving a plane crash and losing one of her legs. Even though this character has been through so much during her time on the series, she's still a resilient character who has worked hard at the hospital in her position as the Head of Fetal Surgery. This surgeon was introduced in the fifth season of Grey's Anatomy and was once married to fellow surgeon Callie Torres. After several seasons on the series, this doctor chose to leave Seattle to be closer to her ex-wife, Callie, for the happiness of their daughter.
Name this firefighter.
Craig Lawson Taylor Knox Ben Warren Vincent Orsen
This character is one that began appearing on Grey's Anatomy during season six and has kept appearing through each season since then. In addition to being on Grey's Anatomy, this character has also appeared on the spin-off series, Station 19. This character is a firefighter and EMT but prior to taking on that job, this character worked as a surgical resident at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. This firefighter's ties to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital don't stop with the fact that he used to work there, though. This character is probably best remembered by Grey's Anatomy fans because he's married to Miranda Bailey.
Alex Karev Derek Robbins Ramsey Parker Joel Miller
This character was one of the original interns and has been a huge part of the series since his introduction back at the beginning of the series. Even though this character has had a pretty tough life prior to becoming a doctor, he's always managed to come through on the other side. When he was first introduced, the other interns weren't his biggest fans because they said that he came across as pretty though and definitely not super friendly. Despite this, this character ended up becoming really close to them and is the Head of Pediatric Surgery. What is his name?
Name this character.
Robert Harper Jim Hunt Paul Karev Jackson Avery
This character was introduced in the sixth season of Grey's Anatomy and is like Meredith Grey in that he's related to someone who is really well-known in the medical world. Any fan of Grey's Anatomy will definitely be familiar with the Harper Avery Award, an award given to an outstanding person in the medical field each year. Several characters on the series have won it and this character is the grandson of the award's namesake. This character joined the hospital during their merger with Mercy West and is currently the Head of Plastic Surgery. Who knows this plastic surgeon's name?
What is Ava's real name?
Hannah Davies Rebecca Pope Leah Murphy Ellis Grey
Unlike most of the characters on Grey's Anatomy, this character isn't actually a doctor or other employee of the hospital. Instead, this character was actually a patient at the hospital after the ferry accident. She couldn't remember her real name or anything about her real life at first, leading everyone to refer to her as Ava while she was in recovery and having reconstructive surgery on her face. She ended up in a relationship with Alex Karev, one of the doctors working at the hospital, and she eventually learned her real name and about her life before the accident before leaving the series.
Who can name this doctor?
Larry Maxwell Keith Collier Owen Hunt Steve Corridan
This character is one that was introduced during season five of Grey's Anatomy and has held several different positions at the hospital during his time on the series. Originally, this surgeon came to the hospital after working as a doctor in the military and was the doctor that referred his fellow military doctor, Teddy Altman, to come work at the hospital. He started off at the hospital as a trauma surgeon but also acted as the Head of Trauma Surgery and the Chief of Surgery at the hospital. This character was in a relationship with Cristina Yang for some time during the series.
Margaret Reilly Stephanie Edwards Marie Cerone Miranda Webber
This character is one that was introduced in the ninth season of the series as a new intern at the hospital. This character, like many of the other characters that were introduced alongside her as new interns at the hospital, wasn't exactly a fan of Meredith because she considered her intimidating. Along with her fellow interns, this character called her Medusa because of her intimidating nature. Yikes! This character had a pretty rocky time while working at the hospital, including getting into an altercation in the operating room at one point, and eventually chose to leave the hospital to pursue a different career.
Lucy Wilson-Karev Jo Karev Mara Karev Willa Karev
This character is one that was introduced in the ninth season of Grey's Anatomy and has had a pretty crazy life. She is probably best-known among Grey's Anatomy fans for the fact that she's currently married to Alex Karev, despite the fact that the two of them weren't actually supposed to be dating because of the hospital's policies. This character revealed prior to getting married to Alex that she was actually married when the two of them met and that she had changed her name from Brooke Stadler in order to get away from her husband. What name does she go by on the series?
Miranda Bailey Lexie Grey Addison Montgomery Amelia Shepherd
This character is one that was introduced fairly early on in the series and definitely stirred things up at Seattle Grace when she was introduced. Even though Meredith and Derek began a relationship early on in the series, it's safe to say that Derek forgot to mention some things to Meredith. Namely? The fact that he was married, for one thing! This character moved to Seattle in order to work at the hospital and wasn't just any new doctor, she was actually the wife of McDreamy himself. Um, yikes! This caused quite a bit of trouble for Meredith while this character was on the show.
Richard Webber Andrew Brody Barclay Faust Steve Maylow
This character was introduced in the very first season of Grey's Anatomy as the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital. Without Meredith even knowing about it, this character actually had quite a long history with her and her family. Because of the fact that Meredith's mother had worked at the hospital long before Meredith was even born, this character actually knew Meredith's mother and had a secret relationship with her for some time. Talk about a big surprise! This character had some ups and downs in his personal life and his career during the series. Who remembers his name?
April Kepner Teddy Altman Reed Adamson Sloan Riley
This character was introduced shortly after the merger between Seattle Grace and Mercy West and she was paired up with Lexie Grey who was tasked with showing her around Seattle Grace so she could get used to working there. Even though Lexie was originally not a fan of this character, they started to get along more and more. This character was one of the people present in the hospital when Gary Clark came to the hospital and she told him about herself as a person and about her life in order to try to convince him to leave her alone. This character was once married to Jackson Avery.
Geraldine Ginsberg Gloria Mines Sloan Riley Lexie Shepherd
There are multiple characters on Grey's Anatomy that face some pretty big surprises during the series. One of the biggest surprises that one of the doctors on the series faces is that he's a father! But not because someone that he's in a relationship with on the series is pregnant but because he has an 18-year-old daughter who recently came to Seattle to find him. This character is that daughter who comes to Seattle during season six after being kicked out of the house by her mother because of the fact that she's pregnant herself. Who is this character?
Who can name this department head?
Tim Redmond Robert Stark Jeff Russell Atticus Lincoln
This character is one that was introduced during season fifteen of Grey's Anatomy as the Head of Orthopedic Surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Considering the show ahs been on so long, it can be pretty tough to keep up with all the characters that get added to the series and the characters that have left. But, any serious fan of Grey's Anatomy will definitely be able to remember the name of this character. This character was the one who proposed the 3D printer to create custom superhero-themed prosthetics for children who come to the hospital and have to lose a limb.
Nathan Riggs Andrew Deluca Ben Warren Preston Burke
This character is one that had some history in the medical field prior to working at the hospital and being introduced into the series. According to this character, he had worked as an EMT after high school and he got really interested in the medical field that way which inspired him to go to medical school and become a doctor. Many Grey's Anatomy fans may remember this character, who was introduced in season 11, because of the altercation that he had with Alex Karev one night when Alex mistakenly thought that he was going to hurt Jo when in fact, he was helping her.
Chris Kennedy Kevin Clarke Alex Brody Nico Kim
This orthopedic surgeon was introduced in season 15 of Grey's Anatomy. Even though this character was introduced so recently, this doctor has still been a part of some major storylines in the series and part of a lot of major medical cases that have come through the doors of the hospital. While working on the cases, this character has been working closely with fellow newcomer to the series, Atticus Lincoln who is the Head of Orthopedic Surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. This character was one of the doctors who worked on a patient named Nisha who had been in a pretty major accident.
Sydney Heron Reed Adamson Graciella Guzman Nicole Baylow
This character is a surgical resident who appeared in the second through the fourth seasons of Grey's Anatomy. This character traveled around the world prior to entering medical school due to the fact that she was actually rejected from medical school the first time she applied and didn't get in until her second application. It goes to show that persistence definitely pays off! This upbeat resident took over for Bailey and all of Bailey's duties when it came to overseeing the interns when Bailey was on maternity leave and couldn't be at the hospital. How many Grey's Anatomy fans can remember this character's name?
Name this surgeon.
Noah Barnes Nathan Riggs Craig Thomas Walter Tapley
This character is a surgeon who appeared on Grey's Anatomy during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth seasons of the series before he ultimately moved out of Seattle with his fiancee, Megan Hunt. This surgeon is one that worked in the military as a doctor alongside Owen hunt and his relationship with Owen's sister is definitely something that put a slight strain on their friendship and relationship as coworkers at different points in the series. After Megan returned from being missing, this character ended up making the decision to leave Seattle and moved to Malibu with his fiancee. Who is this surgeon?
What is this bartender's name?
Bud Kevin Carl Joe
Even though most of the characters on Grey's Anatomy are doctors or patients or in some way connected to the hospital, not everything on the series happens within the walls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, once known as Seattle Grace Hospital. There are a ton of huge events in the series that take place in other parts of Seattle like the homes of the characters or, in the earlier seasons of the show, in a venue that many of the characters would attend after their shifts ended. There, they would be served drinks by this bartender who even went on a camping trip with some of the doctors once.
What's this patient's name?
Sloan Riley Hannah Davies Sadie Harris Mary Portman
This character was only on the series for a very short period of time but she was definitely in a super memorable episode, meaning that many Grey's Anatomy superfans will likely remember her. This patient was played by Mandy Moore and was in the hospital waiting to get a surgery that required her to avoid eating for some time before the procedure. Because it was put off, she asked her husband to go out and pick her up some food but unfortunately, after he left, the hospital was locked up because of the fact that Gary Clark came into the hospital and this patient was trapped in her room with Miranda Bailey.
What is Arizona and Callie's daughter's name?
Nadia Sofia Alicia Rosalia
Through the series, Arizon and Callie's relationship definitely had some ups and downs. It's so like Shonda, the show's creator, to let us believe that a character is going to be happy and then throw a major plot twist into their storyline to make things go wrong for them. When Arizona and Callie were going to travel abroad for Arizona's grant she was awarded to give medical treatment to children in another country, they ended up breaking up for some time while Callie stayed in Seattle. There, she became pregnant with Mark Sloan's child but she and Arizona ended up raising her together in the end.

Like an American Gothic in modern England, Jeff and Tracy Waters appear resolute, reflective and resigned as they stand in front of their neat and modest house in Staines-Upon-Thames. Their unfashionable hometown had recently been renamed both to celebrate its riparian location and appropriate the cachet of Kingston and Richmond, its upmarket neighbors.
Yet within two years, aspirant Staines had been flooded by the stately river that runs through it, and the Waters' property was submerged and left uninhabitable.
Surrounded by flotsam, J.B. Singh stands on the terrace of his Kashmir home. He feels lucky to be alive. "I live in one of the most damaged areas, where most of the homes were under water almost up to the roof. I have repaired my own home and my truck, but it was a financial disaster for me, and I got no help from the government."
J.B. Singh, Jawahar Nagar Srinagar Kashmir, India, October 2014 @Gideon Mendel
Lucas Williams is chest-deep in the water that has engulfed his 1,300-acre farm, his stoic gait unable to mask the harsh realization that, without insurance, his family had "lost everything." This "one-in-1,000-year flooding event" swept the Carolinas in October 2015. It was followed by a second "one-in-1,000" 12 months later, and a third the year after that.
Over the next century, such rain events will only worsen as our climate continues to change. In the United States, NASA expects that "the recent trend towards increased heavy precipitation events will continue… even in regions where total precipitation is expected to decrease, such as the Southwest."
The impacts of climate change are neither theoretical nor abstract. They are real, they are happening now, and they will affect most people on the planet.
Lucas Williams, Lawshe Plantation, South Carolina, October 2015 @Gideon Mendel
Since 2007, Gideon Mendel, a veteran photojournalist, has made 20 trips to document adverse flooding in 13 countries. In doing so he has borne witness to a shared human experience of a catastrophe that transcends geographical, cultural and economic divides.
Mr. Mendel's work, presented in his powerful exhibition Gideon Mendel: Drowning World, draws our attention to what is fundamentally true but infrequently appreciated: Humanity is a part of — not apart from — the natural world. If we are to understand how to live sustainably on this planet, we must appreciate our collective impact upon it, and, in turn, its impact upon us.
Jeff and Tracy Waters outside their home in Staines-Upon-Thames, England, 2014 @Gideon Mendel
That story can be distantly appreciated through facts and figures, but more immediately understood through personal stories, stories in which we can easily picture ourselves. Perhaps for you it is the story of Lucas Williams, or JB Singh, or one of the many others that Mr. Mendel sensitively presents. For me it is the image of Mr. and Mrs. Waters whose home is a five-minute drive from where I once lived.
The role of the Academy is not only to inform, but also to initiate and convene public conversations about the natural world in ways that inspire civic engagement. Such conversations can sometimes be difficult — but these are often the most important ones for society to have.
As the Academy begins to explore ways in which not only science, but also the arts and humanities, can fuel discussion about our evolving planet, we hope that Drowning World will invite reflection not just on the change that is coming, but on the change that is already here.

Patients Putting Green
Brian Keogh reports on the Patients Putting Green at St Luke's Hospital, Rathgar
IRELAND boasts myriad wonderful golf facilities but you would be hard-pressed to find one that has such a positive impact on people's lives as the patients' putting green at St. Luke's Hospital in Dublin. The primary national centre for radiotherapy treatment, the hospital which opened in 1952, was founded by the Cancer Association of Ireland and remains a hugely important facility to this day. Families all over Ireland who have been touched by the disease will be more than familiar with the great work carried out at St Luke's, which is hidden away in the leafy suburbs of Rathgar and Dartry. Its financing remains one of the great challenges of the Irish health system but thanks to the efforts of the volunteers in the Friends of St Luke's, more than €1 million a year is raised to provide patients with all the services they need. Since 2003, those services have included a patients' putting green, and it has proved to be an invaluable amenity for those under going long-term treatment. Many stay on site at the Lodge and thanks to the efforts of a former patient, Pádraig Harring ton's late father Paddy; they can get out in the fresh air with friends, family or other patients for a few hours of relax ation and golfing distraction. Walk through the reception of the Lodge and you will find an array of putters and some chipping clubs in the door way and just 25 yards beyond lies the magnificent, 800 sq. m putting green that Harrington senior was determined to see built. Putting green at St Luke's is proving an in valuable amenity for those in treatment. By Brian Keogh When putting is a game for patients Irish Independent · 8 Feb 2018 2/9/2018 When putting is a game for patients It is situated on what was once the old tennis court and croquet green and opened by the Ryder Cup player some 15 years ago with the help of generous benefactors and the design skills of Jeff Howes. "Paddy was a patient there and there was an old bowling green so he thought the hospital could do some thing for the patients," recalled Paddy's widow, Breda. "I have often wondered how the green was doing and I am just thrilled to hear it is so well looked after and so popular with the patients. It's great to see that even if someone is sick, they can get out and have a putt. I know Paddy would be very pleased in deed." The Friends of St Luke's pays for the up keep of the green, and it is ironic that the man charged with giving the putting surface the year-round, tender loving care is married to se nior women's international Ger tie McMullen, the daughter of their co-founder. "Gertie's late father, Prof. Michael O'Halloran, established the Friends of St Luke's in 1981," said Dubliner Fraser McMullen, whose Sports ground and Field Services company looked after Croke Park and Donnybrook and serviced many golf clubs before it closed in the wake of the most recent economic down turn. "He was the former medical director of St Luke's Hospital and a really great man. "The green is a great facility for patients to have. Otherwise they would be just waiting in their room all day, so it's great to see. Nobody likes being in hospital, so it is nice they have this in their lives." Fraser is himself recovering from serious illness, having suffered a brain haemorrhage last April. But he is now back into his daily routine at St Luke's, where he has seen dozens of patients take to the game with gusto. "I see people out there putting who had never picked up a golf club in their lives before," he explained. "I tell guys, 'Go in and grab a putter and have a go.' And I come back a week later, and they'll say, 'Thanks very much for that – we were out there for hours!' It keeps the mind active, which is important. "This is my sixth year looking after the green I could be out at 5 am on a summer's morning watering and find two or three patients out there when I arrive. "They stay in the Lodge from Monday to Friday, get the bug, and there they are – putting away. "It is a huge help to many patients, especially when families come with children to visit." Team matches are frequent with the beginners among the ladies challenging the men to take them on last year, provided they wore oven gloves to even the odds. "It is used a lot," said Fiona Campbell, a spokesperson for the Friends of St Luke's. "A patient might only have treatment for half an hour and then have the rest of the day free. So if they are feeling well enough, they can head out to the putting green, walk in the grounds or visit the arts centre. "When families come, children are out on the green, and it's wonderful to see. It's an extra facility for the hospital." The Friends of St Luke's tries to raise as much as €1 million every year, using the funds to improve the lives of the patients. New wheel chairs and rooms for relatives are key items, and they are now in the process of re furbishing the pharmacy hav ing just put in two new lifts, and re conditioned the original lift from the 1950s. "Last year we opened a children's play area and a chill-out room for adolescents," Fiona added. "Before that, there was no child-friendly in door space for children as they waited for their treatment or while being monitored post-treatment. "Our target is to raise €1 million a year among the families of the patients and friends so our next big goal is to put in an MRI, which might take a few years." Golfers looking to do their bit for St Luke's Hospital can tee it up in the Friends of St Luke's Annual Golf Classic, which is played in the Castle Golf Club each year.

Happy New Year boys and girls! My 2019 book goals have been dutifully organized and perfected into tiny little stars, put into a glass tea kettle and now wait earnestly to be chosen. My glorious list of books for 2019 goes well over my Goodreads goal to read 100 books, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
This 2019 list includes books from authors, publishing houses and Netgalley, both new and old. Seeing as how this list does NOT include the books I will be receiving this year from author and publishers, I think we can all agree that I have my work cut out for me.
This just might be a book fiend's dream!
Let me know if we share books for our 2019 TBR, or if you have read any of these! I love hearing what you guys think!
Here we are my darlings, my January 2017 Book Wrap-up!
I have given myself a goal of 100 books to read for 2017 (via my Goodreads challenge). If I keep this pace up then I will have no problem completing this. I have been devouring every book I have been getting my hands on, and reading everything so much quicker than I normally do. Though this means that I am reading more, it also means that I don't get to enjoy and savor some of these stories as much as I would like. Oh…the curses of being a fast reader.
The Throne of Glass series…*sigh*. I demolished all five of the books in a week, and let me tell you…I WISH I would have slowed down. This series is INSANELY amazing! Our main character is a lethal and sharp-edged female assassin, and we follow her as she is hired by her kingdoms enemy to slaughter her own people. As the books go on, the story only gets better and the reader becomes overly invested in the lives of each of these badass characters. I am patiently waiting for the next book in the series, and you can be sure that I will be reading this series over at least once this year.
Flicker and Mist involves invisibility and a large amount of segregation between different races. Myra is half Plat and half Leftie and has the ability to flicker, or become invisible. As flickering is outlawed in New Heart City, which predominantly consists of Plats, this story follows Myra and other Flickerkin as they fight against being killed for their abilities. Though I wish this story dove deeper into the creative writing and the story was more drawn out, I found it to be very entertaining and a unique story.
I just LOVED this book…talk about nostalgia overload! Otherworld plays with the idea of turning our imaginations and daydreams into worlds that we can actually walk through and experience. The author did a wonderful job of combining something from everyone's childhood into this story. Though it follows a very young main character, this highly imaginative story can target every audience. I can't recommend this story enough! It is a heart-string puller.
Lodging is a short story that is sure to make you really REALLY sad. This story takes the reader back to WWII and gives them a taste of some very real experiences that young adults faced during the war. This story touches on the young men that went away to war, as well as the effects that it had on many young women in that time. Call me crazy, but I have been trying my hardest lately to find a book that will bring me to tears and crush my soul a little. This story is probably what kick started it.
If you guys read my review for this story, you already know my feelings. I might have completely ripped this book apart, but trust me it was necessary. I tried my hardest to stay optimistic while reading this fantasy story, but it was just flat and executed poorly. The characters made me cringe and the descriptions of the worlds and magic didn't feel at all complete. Not my cup of tea AT ALL.
Butterfly Bones is yet another fantasy book that I was gifted from Netgalley. Once again for this month, I came across another book that is truly unique and veering off the yellow brick road to take their own path. Our main character Bethany suffers from a rare bone disease that makes her look like a child, when she is in fact fifteen. As Bethany struggles with her vicious high school peers, she also deal with being injected daily with butterfly hormones from her father…in the hopes that he can find a cure for her. This is a very bitter-sweet coming-of-age story that falls into the science-fiction/fantasy realm as the story progresses. I thought this book was GREAT and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Last but not least, Chat Love. This is a quirky story that touches on the struggles of finding love and the awkwardness of online dating. We follow a young woman as she goes on dates that range from unmemorable to completely insane. This book was packed with comedy and snarky comments, and I loved the main characters. If you guys are looking for a relatable story, look no further. You are sure to find a moment in this story that resembles an embarrassing experience in your life. You're welcome.
Magic Unveiled is presented to you by USA Today bestselling author Samantha LaFantasie, Seattle Times and Amazon bestselling author Raven Oak, Amazon bestselling authors Alesha Escobar and Devorah Fox, NIEA Finalist H.M. Jones, Alice Marks, Jayme Beddingfield, Ronovan Hester, and Keith Goodno.

Disclaimer: This book was sent to me by the author, Talia Haven, for an honest review.
Plot: Krim soon discovers what lies behind a stone wall.
Opinion: This is a great short story that has a true knack for bringing out your inner child, who will inevitably be crying by the end. If you were like me as a child, you probably wondered what happened to those beautiful creatures called Unicorns. In this story, the reader sees the ugly side of mankind and the true beauty in innocence.
Krim Du Shaw is the dark and haunting tale about the extinction of Unicorns. This story starts out with Krim as a young colt, where he observes a place with stone walls and a heavy door that opens each day and closes each night. As the inhabitants of the stone fortress come out each day, Krim watches as the Stallions become fascinated by them. As the stallions feel an overwhelming urge to go towards the humans, Krim and the reader will find out what happens when they get too close.
This story is listed as being a children's or YA short story, but I think it is highly suitable for all ages. This is my first Talia Haven short story, and WOW am I blown away by her creativity. This story feeds my inner child's innocence and happiness, but completely just obliterates it at the same time! Not only does this story show the ugly side of mankind, it proves that some mistakes cannot be corrected over time. It was heartbreaking to be with Krim as he realized what the cost of his "yearning" meant, especially not being able to fulfill his need in his final moments. The writing is easy to follow and the story is only about 6 pages long. This author knows exactly how to condense a big idea into a small amount of words, which I find to be a hard thing to do. I am very interested in looking into other short stories by Talia Haven, this writer has me hooked!

A person has additional learning needs if he or she has a learning difficulty or disability (whether the learning difficulty or disability arises from a medical condition or otherwise) which calls for additional learning provision.
A child of compulsory school age or person over that age has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:
(a) has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or
(b) has a disability for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of facilities for education or training of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream maintained schools or mainstream institutions in the further education sector.
A child under compulsory school age has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she is, or would be if no additional learning provision were made, likely to be when of compulsory school age.
A person does not have a learning difficulty or disability solely because the language (or form of language) in which he or she is or will be taught is different from a language (or form of language) which is or has been used at home.
"Additional learning provision" for a person aged three or over means educational or training provision that is additional to, or different from, that made generally for others of the same age in—
(a) mainstream maintained schools in Wales,
(b) mainstream institutions in the further education sector in Wales, or
(c) places in Wales at which nursery education is provided.
At Dolau Primary School we shall:
Work with the Local Education Authority and parents to ensure a child's Additional Learning needs are identified quickly
Ensure the wishes of the child are taken into account when providing ALN provision
Review the child's progress regularly and assess the impact of any intervention that they are having.
Work closely with parents and all agencies involved with the child
Ensure that all children reach their full potential
You can find lots of helpful information regarding the new ALN Bill on the RCT website below.

Machu Picchu Is Wheelchair Accessory for the First Time Ever
Hiking up Machu Picchu in Peru has long been challenging for able-bodied people-and impossible for people who use wheelchairs. Now, CNN Wheel the World has made a special tour of Machu Picchu for disabled people, making the site wheelchair-accessible for the first time in its 600-year history.
Wheel the World is the brainchild of Alvaro Silberstein and Camilo Navarro, two friends and entrepreneurs from Chile. Torres de Paine National Park in Patagonia together in 2016. Silberstein uses a wheelchair, and his regular chair is not suited for the journey.
Silberstein and Navarro have been made accessible to hikers wheelchair. Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its protected status and vulnerability to erosion means wheelchair ramps can not be installed easily. Instead, Wheel the World came up with a wheelchair at a price that was not outlandish. The wheelchairs are made of steel and aluminum, which makes them lightweight, and they have one wheel in the front and two long handles like a wheelbarrow, making them easier to navigate over tough terrain.
Wheelchairs are donated to the company and stored near the tour sites, which cuts down on costs. Wheel of the World is about $ 1
Machu Picchu in March 2019.

We sat down with Lee, an HR Director at one of the nation's leading homeless services providers, to talk about his work in the nonprofit sector. He specifically works with hiring employees who have convictions on their records. While this is a group that typically struggles to find employment, Lee doesn't shy away from investing in these employees and shared with us some of his experience and advice.
Lee has a passion for second chances and has changed lives due to his heart and drive. While a lot of organizations don't even consider applicants with a felony conviction, Lee looks at each situation individually and uses many different qualifiers to determine if someone will be a good fit, regardless of their past.
Lee employs a very holistic approach; in addition to looking at if the crime will be a conflict with the potential job, he looks at the time that has elapsed since the conviction and whether several crimes have been committed in the past several years.
Lee puts his belief that change is possible for an individual into action, and he has seen firsthand how much of an impact these second chances can have on one's life. We asked him to leave us with one piece of advice, the best advice he has heard throughout his career, and it seemed to encompass his perspective nicely.
If you know what to look for, giving someone a second chance doesn't have to be a huge risk. You might even get to change a life.

Hawaiʻi Island police are investigating two officer-involved shooting incidents that occurred Thursday, (July 18), in the areas of Keauhou and Napoopoo Road.
At about 4:58 p.m., police received a tip that fugitive Justin Waiki was possibly sighted within a primer-colored Toyota pickup truck with unknown license plates within the parking lot of 75-1015 Henry Street, Kailua-Kona. Additional information indicated the truck was last seen traveling westbound on Henry Street. Officers immediately responded and began conducting checks for the vehicle. At approximately 5:19 p.m., officers spotted a vehicle matching the description. The vehicle was initially parked on Makolea Street in the area located above Kahaluu Beach and then relocated into the upper parking lot of 78-6725 Makolea Street (Kahaluu Housing). Officers approached the vehicle and observed a male individual seated in the driver's seat and a female individual in the passenger's seat. Officers gave verbal commands to the occupants when the male operator initially drove towards the officers' and reversed onto the lawn fronting the housing complex. One of the officers then repositioned himself at which time the vehicle began moving forward at a high rate of speed in the direction of where the officer was standing. The officer discharged three shots at the suspect vehicle, however, the vehicle continued to flee the scene towards Alii Drive.
Officers continued to pursue the vehicle southbound, onto the Hokulia Bypass Road, and down Napoopoo Road. As the vehicle was traveling westbound on Napoopoo Road, another officer positioned his vehicle on the roadway and stood outside of his vehicle as the suspect vehicle approached the officer's stationary location. As the suspect vehicle approached the officer's position, the suspect drove the vehicle towards the officer. The officer discharged 10 shots at the suspect vehicle, however, the vehicle continued to flee the scene towards Middle Keei Road.
The vehicle continued onto Middle Keei Road and was eventually abandoned in a private coffee field on Keala Makua Place in Honaunau.
The two occupants then fled the immediate area on foot into lava fields and thick brush. Extensive searches of the area were conducted and two suspects were located and taken into custody without further incident.
Checks of the suspect vehicle revealed the truck displayed stolen license plates and the truck was reported stolen earlier in the day from Hilo.
The suspects are identified as 25-year-old Harvey Damo Jr., and 25-year-old Shevylyn Klaus, both of Hilo. Both were taken into custody for Theft in the Second Degree.
Damo received medical treatment at the Kona Community Hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was released from the hospital and along with Klaus remains in custody at the Kealakehe Police Station pending continuing investigation by detectives with the Area II Criminal Investigation Section.
Both officers have been placed on administrative leave as is standard practice in any officer-involved shooting. The Police Department's Area II Criminal Investigations Section will conduct a criminal investigation into the shooting, and the Office of Professional Standards will conduct an administrative investigation.
Police ask anyone with any information about this incident to call the Police Department's non-emergency line at (808) 935-3311 or contact Detective Pernell Hanoa at (808) 326-4646 ext. 281 or via email at Pernell.Hanoa@hawaiicounty.gov.

Review panel recommends Bower, Ginsburg, Rinfret for judge seat
By MARC KOVAC
Dix Capital Bureau
COLUMBUS -- A state panel has recommended three finalists for consideration to replace Judge Thomas D. White in Holmes County Common Pleas Court.
Blair Bower, Jeffrey Ginsburg and Robert Rinfret are the selection panel's choices for the seat. Gov. Ted Strickland is reviewing the applicants and will have final say; he can select one of the recommended individuals or someone else.
Five applicants were interviewed for the position late last month in Columbus, including Cassandra Ann Holtzmann and Sean M. Warner.
Bower has practiced law in Ohio for the past two decades, through his Bower Law Office in Millersburg. He also has served as solicitor for Shreve and Holmesville.
Ginsburg served as a magistrate in Holmes County Common Pleas Court from 1996-2008 and currently has a private practice in Millersburg.
Rinfret was Holmes County Prosecutor from 1984-2004 and has served as an assistant prosecutor since then. He was an assistant prosecutor in Ashland County in 1973 and '73.
Marc Kovac is the Dix Capital Bureau Chief. E-mail him at mkovac@dixcom.com or on Twitter at Ohio Capital Blog.

Why is a 2.2 degree considered bad? Watch
jackanswers
Report Thread starter 9 years ago
I recently graduated with a 2.2 in Bsc Biomedical Science. I personally am proud of what I achieved because I know I worked very hard throughout my degree and due to the extensive and diverse nature of the curriculum it is difficult to get a 2.1 degree.
I am hoping to understand this fascination of getting a 2.1 as a minimum. I am aware of graduate jobs for private organisations which require a 2.1 minimum, which I believe is really stupid. They should look into the background of a degree rather than standardise everything. Your opinions please?

I think anything less than a 1st class degree is awful.
In my personal opinion, if you dedicate 3-5 solid years to your life to one big continuous goal/project, why would you be satisfied with anything less than a 1st class degree? I would feel like I had wasted my time.
A 2.1 is, essentially, a C grade. Cs are never viewed favourable.

I certainly don't consider a 2:2 degree to be bad. Sure, it won't get you onto many graduate schemes, but it's still a degree with a grade and what you learnt whilst studying is still valuable.
BigFudamental
I agree that it's ridiculous that a good 2.2 in a tough subject is in many ways worse than a bad 2.1 in some ridiculous doss subject. Basically it saves people time to be able to generalise, so they do it.
youareafever
I think it depends on what course you are doing,
personally I think you have the right to be happy, seeing as that particular course can be quite difficult,
with me on the other hand, I'm doing english literature and language and really should be aiming at a 1st.
JohnnytheFox
The majority of graduates obtain a 2:1 or above, so by getting a 2:2 you're below average. I imagine that's why it's seen as unfavourable.
Picnic1
There used to be a daft idea, probably amongst the likes of Oxford and Cambridge especially, that the only grades of degree worth getting were a first or a third. A first shows that whatever you did was worth it. A third shows that you probably at least had a good social life and got the most out of university in that way. The idea being that anything in between doesn't clearly indicate what you hoped to achieve at university! Daft isn't it-especially these days when so many are going to university. A 2.2 is always better than a third and probably hard worked for.
yoyo462001
Well its like everyone said its because its below average, obviously a 2:2 in maths is probably going to hold more weight than a 2:1 in golf management. Either way a 2:2 isnt the end of the world.
Ultraviolet Midnight
I don't know, I don't get it either... the university grading system is flawed with regards to differentiating between 2.1 and 2.2s anyway. Separating those is like bisecting a bell curve at its peak - people of similar abilities end up getting different grades, which isn't necessarily fair (although I realise that the peak might be shifting more towards 2.1s now).
I think if you've worked hard and got a 2.2 in a good subject, then it certainly shouldn't be frowned upon or considered substandard.

Well its like everyone said its because its below average
The problem is that, although a 2:2 is "below average" pretty much across the board, a 2:1 can be well below average in particular subjects. For example, 96% of students in English at York last year received 2:1s or higher. So it's possible in such cases to get a 2:1 and still be amongst the very worst people (bottom 5%) in your class.
And yet such people (I believe, I am not an expert here) will be able to get onto certain graduate schemes; whereas a person who gets a 2:2 but is in, say, the 65th percentile of his/her class will not.

depends on the degree i think personally.
im doing art and to be honest, you're a moron or a lazy sod if you don't get at least a 2.1.
if you did a hardcore degree then a 2.2 is still an achievement. i know very bright people who got Desmonds because they took quote unquote hard subjects- and they are now doing well career wise.
I am wondering. Generally speaking how hard is it to get a first?
I know it does depend on the individual to an extent.
Usually I am guessing these kind of students put more hours into study?
If this is the case I would just like someone to sum up say how much altogether a week/ month in hours and how much more than a 2.1 and a 2.2 classification?
I understand there are many variables to consider but as a generalistation.
I think the real problem is the excessively rigid cut-off point that has been artificially created at the 2.1/2.2 boundary. In terms of work and ability a low 2.1 can pretty similar to a high 2.2 but graduate employers have completely blown up this small disparity.
moonlight_freakout
it's a bad way to categorise people. it clearly depends on a) what subject you did
b) where you studied it
c) what your syllabus was like
But i'm sure that when you'll look for a job they'll take that into consideration. plus i LOVE your subject and of course it's a challenging course, so don't worry and BE PROUD of what you've achieved

Question is in bold, answer in italic.
Employers don't standardise everything to make it easier, certain degrees will be more valuable than others to certain employers but there will be plenty of biomed students who got a 2.1 whereas you have a 2.2 so they'll be picked above you.
2.2 isn't bad per se its just lower than average, say what you like about the difficulty of the course in comparison to others (even though its obviously subjective) but even comparing yourself to other biomed students you have a lower than average grade.
(Original post by Maturity)
i read somewhere it was 40hours a week for a 1st, 35 hours for a 2.1. 30 hours for a 2.2. and 25 hours for a third. thats including lecture time.
that actually dosnt sound completley right, but its something like that. A lecturer told me that we should be aiming for a 40 hour week- like a normal working week.
edit: i think 5 hours difference per week for each grade boundary is perhaps too small? maybe its more like -10hours for each starting from 40 hours. i know a first is definatley 40hours of work per week.
sorry to be clogging this thread with *****.
I think it shows ignorance and quite frankly stupidity if people say you're below average without taking into account what degree someone is or has studied. For example I can never accept a 2.1 in golf management or business administration to be better than my biomedical science degree. That ridiculous.
I have studied numerous medical health disciplines in my degree, including biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, medical genetics, molecular biology etc... These disciplines are very intellectually stimulating and encompass difficult concepts and mechanisms to understand. I can guarantee most people will not be able to understand a module let alone the whole course I have studied.
(Original post by moonlight_freakout)
Thank you. Your comment was very refreshing to hear and had very intelligent points, which I totally agree with with. However the present system does not take all of those factors into account, especially the level of difficult associated with a course.
i.am.lost
Well certainly at the unis I've looked at, the top 25% are awarded Firsts, the next 33% are given a 2:1, the next 33% are given a 2:2, and the bottom 10% either get a Third or fail. Thus, if you get a 2:2 you are well in the bottom half of your class. So, of course it's not highly regarded.

ExCel London: 2022 As Intensive Year
ExCel London
2022 As Intensive Year
Photo: ExCel London
Musical Con was one of 16 new events hosted by ExCeL London in 2022.
ExCeL London has recorded its highest number of new event launches since 2017, rounding off a successful 2022 and further cementing the return of the £32.1 billion UK events industry. Despite not hosting events for the first six weeks of 2022 due to the pandemic, the carbon neutral venue hosted 16 brand new shows – in addition to a further dozen relocated from other venues – on its way to a total of 350.
The likes of Musical Con, Reset Connect and the Clean & Tidy Home Show all made their debut at ExCeL alongside existing events such as the all-electric Formula E motorsport series, World Travel Market – attended by MP Nigel Huddleston – the London Triathlon, Bett, and Jurassic World: The Exhibition – the latter now its longest running.
In a year that also saw the likes of HRH Princess Anne, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Idris Elba grace the venue, milestones such as the introduction of London's high-speed Elizabeth line and becoming the first UK venue to achieve carbon neutral status to PAS 2060 certification have all played their part.
ExCeL CCO Simon Mills, said: "This year has been incredibly important for ExCeL and, more importantly, for London and the wider UK events industry. The ongoing effects caused by the pandemic meant venues like ours didn't properly start 2022 until mid-February, so to achieve all that we have inside 10 1⁄2 months is a huge achievement... you could say it's been a game of two halves."
"To host 16 new shows is very rewarding and just goes to show the appetite for face-to-face events, as well as the hard work and confidence of the event organisers behind them – many of whom committed back in 2021." He added: "I'd like to extend my thanks to all the organisers, exhibitors, suppliers and visitors who have helped make this year such a success."
This momentum is already set to carry into 2023 as ExCeL begins the year with another debut in RuPaul's DragCon UK (6-8 January), followed by high-profile events such as Star Wars Celebration (7-10 April) and the season finale of Formula E, the first time a single-seater world champion will be crowned on UK soil since 1985.
About ExCeL London
ExCeL London first opened in November 2000, in an area of huge regeneration in London's historic Royal Docks. More than 20 years later it has become one of the UK's largest and most successful event venue, hosting some 400 shows per year and welcoming around four million visitors from every corner of the globe. Events hosted at ExCeL generate around £4.5 billion in economic impact for London and support approximately 37,000 jobs throughout the events industry. Under the ownership of ADNEC, ExCeL has seen significant investment in its facilities and is currently embarking on a further 25,000sqm expansion programme. More recently it has played host to innovative live events such as the all-electric Formula E motorsport championship and Jurassic World: The Exhibition. It also prides itself on championing sustainability and is certified carbon neutral – the first UK venue of its kind to achieve the international recognised PAS 2060 status.
