Are you thinking of becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)? If the job outlook factors into your decision to seek work as a CNA, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that employment of nursing assistants will increase 11% between 2016 and 2026, which is faster than the average for all occupations.
If you're interested in taking the first steps to pursuing a new career as a CNA, keep reading to learn exactly what CNAs do, where people work as CNAs, and more.
Professionals in this type of position may be referred to as a nursing assistant, orderly, nurse's assistant, or patient care technician. However, the CNA designation indicates that an individual has successfully passed the Certified Nursing Assistant or Certified Nurse Aide exam—the exact title varies by state.
CNAs are responsible for providing basic care to patients, which may take place in a hospital or long-term care setting or in the patient's own home.
Becoming a CNA involves both formal training and passing a certification exam. You'll need to enroll in nursing assistant education, which can be completed in as little as two months depending on the pace of the individual student. Unlike training for medical office positions, which may be completed online, nursing assistant programs involve both classroom learning and hands-on practice to prepare you for face-to-face patient interactions.
In addition to completing nursing assistant coursework and clinical experience, many states require students to pass a certification exam and background check before working with patients. For example, to achieve the Florida Certified Nursing Assistant credential, graduates of a state-approved training program must also complete a background screening and fingerprinting and pass an examination. Florida's two-part exam tests the knowledge learned in school with multiple-choice questions in the written portion of the exam and also requires students to demonstrate clinical abilities by performing nursing assistant skills. Nursing assistants who successfully complete the background screening and both sections of the exam will earn the CNA designation.
Helping patients with daily living functions such as eating, getting dressed, using the restroom, etc.
These are just some of the duties you may be expected to perform as a CNA. The job description and responsibilities will vary depending on your exact job, the patients you're working with, and where you're working.
You'll also need to be comfortable working closely with patients. You'll be interacting with them face-to-face and helping them function as normally as possible, even if they're bedridden. You may also be helping them with quite intimate tasks, such as bathing them or helping them use the toilet; so you need to be comfortable and discreet in doing this.
Where Can You Work as a CNA?
Now that you have an idea of what the work entails, you may be wondering where exactly you might end up working.
As a CNA, you'll have a few different options as to where you can apply your skills, knowledge, and education. The BLS provides some insights into the work environment of nursing assistants.
General and specialty hospitals are among common work environments for certified nursing assistants. At general medical and surgical hospitals, you're likely to encounter a wide variety of patients. CNAs at specialty hospitals, on the other hand, may primarily work with patients who have a specific condition or with particular age populations. These types of workplaces can include cancer centers, rehabilitation facilities, or pediatric hospitals.
Hospital jobs are usually full-time positions, which means they may provide benefits, job security, and access to connections with doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. Hospitals may also offer a higher base salary than some other workplaces.
If you're interested in working at a hospital, you might want to consider speaking with healthcare professionals there, attending networking events, and/or volunteering. If administrators, doctors, and nurses know you and see that you're a hard worker, you may be more likely to get a job when you apply. Sometimes, volunteer positions can turn into paying ones; so don't underestimate the power of volunteering and persistence.
Working at long-term nursing facilities like nursing homes and assisted living centers is by far the most common position for a certified nursing assistant. BLS estimates indicate that 40% of nursing assistants are employed in nursing care facilities, and another 11% work in retirement communities and assisted living centers. These facilities house the elderly, severely disabled patients, patients with serious illnesses, and others.
These patients usually require access to round-the-clock care, which can mean longer shifts at all hours of the day. This type of work environment can be a good starting point for CNAs; it allows you to practice the skills you learned in school, learn how to work with many patients at a time, and gain confidence in your CNA capabilities.
Since roughly half of all nursing assistants are employed in nursing and assisted living facilities, you may be more likely to land your first job with this type of organization. It can be a great résumé builder and will help you gain hands-on experience, which you can later transfer to another type of work environment.
This type of setting may also offer benefits, full-time work, and regular work hours, though it could involve overnight shifts and/or overtime.
Home health aides will perform similar duties, for a similar salary, as CNAs working at nursing facilities. The main difference is that home health aides usually work with one patient at a time in the patient's own home instead of balancing the needs of multiple patients at any given time, which can be the case at a hospital or long-term care facility.
You'll usually be providing care for patients who have similar conditions to those in long-term facilities but who prefer a home environment or have assistance from family members.
Most CNAs don't begin in this type of role, since there is usually no direct supervision or other workers to help new hires learn the ropes. Consequently, home health service agencies often prefer to hire experienced CNAs for these types of jobs.
One of the advantages of home health positions is that they may offer more flexibility than working for a facility, since you may be able to work out a schedule based on the patient's needs. It can also be lower stress than working for a hospital or long-term facility, since you'll be working with one patient at a time instead of many.
In addition to the types of facilities and home health agencies described above, CNAs may find positions with local, state, or federal governments. For example, some CNAs are employed by state hospitals while others may work for federal agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Veterans Health Administration, the Department of Defense, or the Bureau of Prisons. Apart from state-run hospitals, the BLS estimates that the government employs about 4% of the nation's nursing assistants; so these types of positions may be harder to come by than more traditional CNA roles working for hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
Deciding where to work as a CNA will depend on your experience, your connections, your location, and your specific interests.
Do you want a job where you're always busy, have an opportunity to work with many patients, and can learn from and share the workload with other nursing assistants? Then you may want to consider applying for jobs at a hospital or a long-term care facility.
Or are you interested in working more closely with a smaller number of patients and getting to know them on a more personal level? In that case, a home health aide position may work well for you.
Or perhaps you'd like to help provide care to veterans? If there is a VHA hospital nearby, this type of government job could be a possibility.
Ready to take the next step? If you live near Tampa or Clearwater, Florida, you may want to consider Ultimate Medical Academy's eight-week Nursing Assistant diploma program (completion times vary depending on the individual student). Alternately, you can earn a diploma or associate's degree in UMA's Patient Care Technician program. These programs prepare you to sit for Florida's CNA exam.
If you're already enrolled in a training program and want to prepare for your first CNA role, check out UMA's articles that are designed to help you find jobs, perform well in an interview, and work toward gaining a position.

League One round-up: Charlton secure title but who will be second? Steel all to play for
By Sportsmail Reporter
Charlton wrapped up the npower League One title with a 2-1 victory over Wycombe, but the fight for the second automatic promotion spot will go into another week after differing fortunes for the two Sheffield clubs.
The Addicks had already ensured they would be playing Championship football next term, but opened up an unassailable nine-point gap at the top with Saturday's win.
Lift-off: Charlton manager Chris Powell is thrown in the air after securing the League One title
Yann Kermorgant fired Charlton in front after 13 minutes and, although Stuart Beavon replied before half-time, Dale Stephens sealed the points in the 75th minute.
Chris Powell, the first man to win a league title as both Charlton player and manager after taking over 15 months ago, said: 'It's a huge moment for this club, make no mistake. There's been far too much trying to reach for the stars and falling way, way short around here in recent years.
'The key to things has been the spirit that we've generated, and the way the players have driven themselves forwards. When we've had upsets, we've got up, dusted ourselves down and got back on with it.
'Next year we'll look to play proper football, like we have all year, and we'll see how we go. We'll do things properly, though, because that's what we're about.
We've done it: Powell and Charlton are in the Championship
'Through hard work we've managed to recreate the feeling that was around the place when I was a player here. That's been the secret.'
Sheffield United remain second in the table but now sit just one point ahead of city rivals Wednesday following a 1-0 loss at MK Dons.
Alan Smith scored the only goal after 15 minutes, while the Owls snatched a last-gasp victory over Carlisle courtesy of Michail Antonio's strike.
Wednesday went in front through Chris Lines (26), but James Berrett's equaliser eight minutes from time looked to have earned a draw until Antonio's late heroics.
Something to shout about: Charlton Athletic players and fans celebrate at The Valley
MK Dons are assured of a place in the play-offs along with Huddersfield, who beat Scunthorpe 1-0 with a late goal from Lee Novak. Stevenage strengthened their play-off hopes with a fortuitous 2-1 victory at home to Brentford.
Clayton Donaldson and Sam Saunders had both missed penalties for the Bees before Craig Reid gave Stevenage a 53rd-minute lead.
Flag day: Charlton fans are happy again
Luke Freeman added a second nine minutes later with Saunders netting a late reply for the visitors.
Notts County sit two points outside the play-off places with two rounds remaining after a 4-2 defeat against Bury.
A Giles Coke own goal brought County level after David Worrall's opener, but a double from Mike Grella opened up a 3-1 lead for Bury.
Yann the man: Kermorgant (2nd left) salutes the fans after putting Charlton in front
Mike Edwards reduced arrears once more for the home side and Bury suffered another setback with the dismissal of Andrai Jones, but a last-minute goal from Mark Carrington wrapped up the points.
At the other end of the table, Rochdale's relegation was confirmed with a 2-1 defeat at fellow strugglers Chesterfield.
Goals from Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro (73) and Danny Whitaker (86) sandwiched Scott Boden's 82nd-minute strike to send Dale down.
Wasn't me: Kermorgant fells Wycombe's Grant Basey
Exeter live to fight another day after a 4-2 win over 10-man Walsall. Walsall twice led through Alex Nicholls and Florent Cuvelier, with Daniel Nardiello briefly equalising for the Grecians.
But the dismissal of Emmanuele Smith turned things in Exeter's favour, with Alan Gow scoring twice before Liam Sercombe rounded off the result.
Exeter sit five points from safety with two rounds remaining. Leyton Orient are four points above the relegation zone following a 2-2 draw against Yeovil.
Point proven: Chris Powell is joyous at the final whistle
Kevin Lisbie gave the home side a 2-0 lead but Andrew Williams and Jonathan Obika secured a point for the Glovers.
Tom Eastman cancelled out Shaun MacDonald's early opener as Colchester shared a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. Oldham and Preston played out a 1-1 draw, with Robbie Simpson on target for the Latics and Chris Holroyd replying for North End.
Tranmere were also held 1-1 at home by Hartlepool, with Antony Sweeney earning a point for the visitors after John Walsh's opener.

New Avengers Infinity War Trailer
By Adam Chmielewski Last updated Mar 16, 2018
Man this is a good one…
Hopefully you're all counting down the days until April 27th when the grand mack daddy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Infinity War hits the theaters. Since we are a little over a month away, now's the time when things really get moving and we'll be seeing all kinds of marketing. Whether it's more promo shots, toys, posters, interviews, there will be plenty for us to chew on until the big day arrives.
On March 16th, the folks over at Disney dropped another trailer for the film and dude is it incredible! If you liked the first one, get ready to have those nerdy pants of yours creamed. Check it out below!!
Yeah… damn you Marvel, we're almost to the point where these previews are so good, it hurts, especially me being more of a DC guy. Just keep twisting that knife Kevin Feige. Though I don't think I've felt this much excitement for a Marvel movie since… oh yeah, last month when I saw Black Panther.
Some highlights include; the Hulkbuster Iron Man suit, it was epic in Age Of Ultron and I'm hoping for an equal display of badassery.
Seeing Thanos in full armor. I know it's only been a couple years since he made appearances in the closing credit scenes of previous installments but this new trailer offers the best sights of him to date. They've totally perfected the CGI, like we're seeing a real, purple, guy who has come to destroy us all. Pay attention to the end when Captain America takes him on singlehandedly.
Tim Allen: Never Give Up, Never Surrender for "Galaxy…
Rated 10% or Less: Pauly Shore's…
First Look at WB's R-Rated "Mortal Kombat"…
Lots of action! Lots of heroes! The Guardians, Dr. Strange, everyone. Even the Wakandans are in full force and something tells me, they'll be the boots on the ground for the big battle scene.
There's a joke towards the conclusion that in a matter of fifteen seconds, demonstrates a superior level of screenwriting. Did you get it?
April 27th can't get here fast enough.

If they had an American-type union, each of their positions would take about three or four people to fill one job. The cruiselines wouldn't stay in business long if that many berths were filled with crew. Face it, these folks aren't dummies. The crew members are members of respected unions (the Filipino Hotel Workers Union and the Indonesian Hotel & Cruise Ship Workers Union) and are part of a larger international union. The rank and file took a year to analyze the contract, then signed onto it and are willing to live with it. (It's my observation that it's the passengers who are doing all the hand-wringing.) Most people who go to a job every day think they deserve a better deal than what they're getting. That's why its called "work" instead of "vacation". Instead of agonizing over the crew conditions, why not pay attention to HAL's service level? If it's not satisfactory (for whatever root cause), simply give your business to some other line.


Did a bit more drawing today. Found a photo i liked and tried to recreate it. Had to be creative as the aspect ratio of the photo wasnt an A4, like the format i was drawing it. Practicing using colours. I will keep working on it and post progress whenever it gets it.
UDK scene, using stock meshes.
I spent about 20 hours doing this small scene.
The particle effects are all using custom textures. Was alot of fun poking around Unreals particle editor!
AVP DLC, NeverDead and new desktop.
A lot, a lot, a lot of stuff going on lately. The majority of the many things that have been going on I can not really talk about yet, but hopefully in a few weeks or months time.
Alien Versus Predator: Bughunt mappack.
I have been working on quite a few of these maps, doing lighting and PFX. A trailer for the maps was recently released. View it SUPER-UNEXCLUSIVELY here.
I have also been busy working on NeverDead, a really crazy project that is being published by Konami and developed at Rebellion. I have been one of two lighting artists working on this game, and you can view the trailer from E3 2010 by clicking the link below.
In other non-professional news, I am setting up my home studio again! After eight long, slow-going and frustrating months of being forced to work on a laptop, I have now invested in a fancy desktop computer andbig fatty screen, and I am going out to buy a proper desk this weekend. Expect pictures of it all once I have it all set up. I intend to start working on my own personal stuff in a more substantial way over the upcoming weeks.

Inntel welcome Rail Operations Group as a new client
Tuesday, 27 August, 2019 - 13:48
Inntel are the specialist travel and meetings management company to the rail and freight industry and this was reinforced recently by being awarded the contract for the Rail Operations Group.
Rail Operations Group were looking for a supplier to provide a centralised hotel booking, management and payment solution. It was also important to them that the selected provider was well equipped to provide duty of care to their travelling employees and deliver cost savings. Inntel's specialist rail solutions provided exactly what the organisation were looking for.
The Inntel rail industry hotel programme was also available for the Rail Operations Group to use, spanning discounted rates of up to 18% from BAR (Best Available Rate) in almost 600 hotels within 36 hotel groups and private properties across the UK.
The Rail Operations Group are a highly innovative train operating company, dedicated to the rolling stock manufacturing, engineering and leasing sectors. Their services include new fleet deliveries, transfers and cascade programmes, testing, commissioning running, storage and fleet movements for refurbishment and modification programmes.
David Burley, MD for Rail Operations Group said:
" Inntel has been a welcome addition to Rail Operations Group. It has streamlined the process of booking hotels and it has given our employees a bigger and better range of hotels to choose from whilst lodging away from home comforts. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Inntel for the foreseeable future"
Douglas O'Neill, CEO at Inntel also commented:
"Inntel have been providing accommodation booking services to the rail industry since the early 1980's and today deliver great service to over 95% of the UK's train operating companies. We are delighted to welcome the Rail Operating Group as our newest client in this sector and look forward to a long and successful partnership".
A Sustainable Future
Louisa Watson
Director of Marketing at Wyboston Lakes Resort
The rapid rise of sustainability on the business agenda is remarkable. In just a few years it has quickly moved up from the lower down the agenda and Action List to close to the top, always under discussion and a high priority.
It's a topic that now not only features prominently in most hotel, venue and event industry conferences, it's also attracting many delegates to the sessions.
A venue like Wyboston Lakes Resort is now continually scrutinising a wider range of operational areas and delving to greater depths and detail to search for opportunities to be more sustainable.
In June 2019 Wyboston Lakes Resort achieved Silver Status in the Green Tourism Awards, the national sustainable tourism certification scheme for the UK & Ireland. To accomplish this, the venue was assessed against a rigorous set of 145 criteria, covering a range of areas including energy and water efficiency, waste management, purchasing, travel, biodiversity and more.
Here's what we are doing today…
We are continuing with our ambitious plan to deliver reduce both energy and carbon footprint by saving a further 21000 KWH from the previous year.
We are looking at alternative methods of energy creation, including solar, wind turbine, ground source heat, biomass and battery storage.
We have started upgrading our lighting across site to the latest energy efficient LED styles.
We have amended our purchasing policy to ensure energy ratings are considered as part of the purchasing decision for all new heavy equipment
Working with our waste management partners we continue to be 'Zero to Landfill' for yet another year.
In 2018 we recycled over 20,000kg of cardboard waste.
We are looking at ways to reduce food waste and to ensure any food waste is dealt with to the benefit of the environment.
We discourage single use plastic and have already changed to paper straws, removed drinks stirrers and have introduced compostable coffee cups. We have removed plastic water bottles from The Woodlands Venue and replaced with water cartons.
We have joined the MIA #20percentless scheme and have already achieved a 19% reduction already
Working with our grounds team we have an active policy for planting trees in support of nature and nurture, these range from new saplings to semi mature trees.
We maintain a nature reserve on site which is supported by the Wildlife Trust.
We are actively seeking to reduce our paper consumption in all areas across site and have already reduced our flip chart use by replacing with squiggle boards and digital flip charts in the conference rooms.
In the Spa we supply our guests with disposable, bio-degradable hair towels to reduce the need to launder and we have replaced plastic drinking water cups with paper.
It's a list that is growing all the time.
The forces driving this increasing momentum come from several sides. We are primarily self- motivated, focused on environmentally friendly initiatives, because we want to benefit our employees, our community and ultimately our planet. At the same time, we also want to stay ahead of the expectations of guests and our clients who frequently include extensive lists of requirements around sustainability in business tender documents.
Overall, for Wyboston Lakes Resort, this increasing focus has created a further benefit. It's providing the opportunity to bring our diverse efforts under one umbrella and create a culture of conscience in what we do and how we do it.
Sustainability is not just a buzz word, it' s here to stay. We all now have to look at what more we can do over the coming months and years, both new ideas and further implementation of existing ideas. Here we will be launching our 2020 "Green Objectives" later this year to give clear focus on what we want to achieve.
But it must be a team effort by everyone in the industry and we look forward to working closely with both our clients and suppliers to make better choices to benefit future generations.
Giving Businesses a Five Star Fright
BUSINESSES visiting York's leading hotel could come face to face with a colourful cast of characters – from Vikings, to Dick Turpin and even Guy Fawkes.
Five AA star hotel, The Grand, York, has joined forces with The York Dungeon to create a special offer for corporate clients holding meetings or events at the hotel.
From September through to February 2020, bookers can incorporate a tour of the popular attraction into their schedule at no extra charge – giving delegates the chance to meet famous faces from York's past and delve into the darkest moments of its history.
The opulent five-star hotel – which was built as Palace of Business for the North Eastern Railway in 1906 – is a prestigious venue for corporate functions, from meetings and conferences to formal dinners and team building events.
And, along with room hire and a two-course lunch created by the hotel's chefs, the new package will incorporate a private, 75-minute tour of The York Dungeon, with elaborate sets and performers re-enacting key historical events.
The tour also gives delegates the chance to survive The Curse of the Witch – The York Dungeon's newest show which promises to "bring terror to life."
Visitors are transported back to 17th century England to meet one unfortunate soul accused of witchcraft and condemned to the gallows – and they have to decide whether she is innocent or guilty.
"It's scary stuff," said Philip Bolson, general manager at The Grand, York, "and a great way of putting people's analytical and decision-making skills to the test.
"But a trip to The York Dungeon is also terrific fun – which is why we are delighted to be able to offer this complimentary trip to our corporate clients."
The package is available for parties of 10 or more and could be scheduled for morning or afternoon for day delegates – or as a pre-dinner treat for businesses extending their stay with a 24-hour package.
The hotel's day delegate package costs £55 per person from September to December and £45 in January and February 2020.
Prices for the 24-hour package, which also includes dinner in a private dining room and an overnight stay in one of the hotel's 207 bedrooms, start at £223 per person.

Good first half year for UK meetings business is set to continue for the rest of 2019
Friday, 16 August, 2019 - 11:16
observes Angie Mason, Chair of HBAA,
as HBAA Meetings Barometer reports on first six months of 2019
"It's been a good first half of the year for the UK meetings industry and bookings for the rest of the year indicate that this buoyancy will continue until at least the end of the year."
Angie Mason, Chair of the HBAA sees plenty of good news for the industry in the figures reported in the HBAA Meetings Barometer for the first six months of 2019.
The report, developed in partnership with The MeetingsBenchmark Ltd, reveals that the average spend per meeting had risen by 8.8 per cent to £2,144 from £1,971, the average spend throughout 2018. The average spend per delegate had also increased by 6.7 per cent, from £85.71 in 2018 to £91.46.
The average day delegate rate (DDR) had also risen slightly from £32.89 last year to £33.17 while the average number of delegates has remained the same at 54.
Increasing confidence among event planners is reflected by the reduction of lead and conversion times. The average lead time for forward booking of events has gone down from 79.7 days to 78.3 while the average conversion time went down slightly from 18.5 days last year to 17.9 days so far in 2019.
Looking at forward bookings for July to December, currently the average spend per delegate is up substantially to £116.54. and the average DDR up to £33.90.
Angie Mason, HBAA Chair observed: "The HBAA Meetings Barometer data highlights positive trends in the market and plenty of strong reasons to be optimistic and confident about business in the imminent future."

HBAA raises over £32k for Buses4Homeless
Thursday, 15 August, 2019 - 13:39
HBAA has raised over £32,500 since January for social enterprise company Buses4Homeless.
This substantial sum has been generated from auctions, raffles and donations at the association's Kick-Off Dinner, Online Charity Auction, Come Dine with Me and Annual Forum events so far this year.
Founded by Dan Atkins, Buses 4 Homeless plans to fit double decker buses that are no longer emission zone compliant as overnight shelters (Buses 4 Shelter) (pictured), kitchens and dining areas (Buses 4 Dining) education centres where the homeless can develop vocational skills to integrate them into the work place (Buses 4 Learning) and for relaxation and recuperation (Buses 4 Wellness).
The money raised by HBAA members has already been used to complete the first Bus 4 Shelter which is fitted out with sleep pods, storage space and toilets as a 16 berth 'sleeping bus'. It has also helped to finish a semi-open top Bus 4 Wellness, which has areas for one to one and group mental health support as well as for physical therapy. A Bus 4 Learning has been equipped with 16 desks and office chairs, wiring and a chill-out/meeting area. The upper deck of the Bus 4 Dining now has tables and 32 reupholstered seats. A commercial kitchen will be installed downstairs when money is available.
In addition to the funds raised, many HBAA members have contributed not only valuable materials that have been used but also a vast amount of their personal time to work as volunteers on the project.
Dan Atkins says "While we're thrilled with all the help we've had and with the progress on the buses, we can't use them until we find a suitable parking area for them. That's our priority at the moment."
Angie Mason, Chair of the HBAA said: "Our target for the year was £30k and to surpass it so quickly is a testament to the generosity and selflessness of the entire HBAA membership. We can all take immense pride that Dan has been able to develop his vision so rapidly. We'll be continuing with our wholehearted support and are looking forward to seeing the first rough sleepers moving into the bus as soon as Dan finds a suitable place to park it for the long term."

Imago Venues supports sustainable clothing initiative to help students prepare for interviews
Imago Venues at Loughborough University is supporting a new initiative to help students save money and to enable them to feel their best in upcoming interviews.
Suitably Dressed is a project led by Loughborough Students' Union (LSU) Enterprise Section and aims to support students who may not have the funds to buy a new outfit for a work interview or formal event.
A donation bin will be placed at Imago's flagship venue Burleigh Court Conference Centre and Hotel. Guests, staff and students are being encouraged to drop off unwanted clothes, suitable for professional interviews and other formal events such as awards ceremonies.
This includes items such as blazers, skirts, trousers, dresses, jumpsuits, ties, belts, shoes and shirts in a variety of sizes and styles, aiming to accommodate as many students as possible.
Emma Boynton, Head of Sales and Marketing at Imago Venues, said: "We are proud to be supporting this important initiative to help students be the best that they can be – which is embedded in Imago's ethos.
"We have a strong relationship with our customers, and we are encouraging them to think about what items they could donate to this good cause. Whether you're staying as a guest at the hotel and want to use the donation bin or would like to send an item to us, every contribution will have a positive impact on someone's life.
"We will also be encouraging our own staff to have a think about how they can support the scheme."
Ash Ponder, LSU Enterprise Section Chair, said: "This is a really exciting scheme that will help students from all backgrounds to feel prepared when they are on the hunt for placements and jobs. It also will help people to get involved at other formal events during University, such as award ceremonies."
Not only will the initiative help students save pennies and help them to feel more confident, but it is also a sustainable alternative amidst a time where society is considering the detrimental impacts of fast fashion.
Students will be able to borrow the items of clothing and receive a discount to get it dry cleaned afterwards at the Loughborough branch of Johnsons the Cleaners before returning the items.
A representative from Johnsons the Cleaners said: "We are excited to be working with Loughborough Students' Union and Loughborough University on Suitably Dressed. As a company, we care for the environment as well as our customers' clothes.
"Johnsons co-founded and introduced into the UK market a new non-toxic dry-cleaning solution, Green Earth. Supporting Suitably Dressed gives us the opportunity to further our environmental impact by encouraging clothes to be recycled and help to reduce textile landfill."

Life is brighter at the Hilton London Heathrow
Thursday, 8 August, 2019 - 14:01
EVENTS organisers needing natural light for their meetings and conferences can benefit from alterations taking place at Hilton London Heathrow airport hotel.
The hotel at Terminal 4 is popular for meetings, conferences and events because of the variety of flexible spaces it has available and the fact that it is easily reached from central London.

The hotel has 965 sq metres of space which can be configured in a variety of ways, with 15 meetings rooms which can take up to 300 guests.
It also has its own beach terrace for receptions and less formal gatherings, with a dedicated business centre which offers support to all meetings and events' organisers or delegates.
Jurgen Sutherland, General Manager at the hotel, believes the transformation will be a welcome addition to the hotel's meetings offering and will be available from the end of August.
"We have taken on board our agent and client feedback regarding the ongoing necessity of offering natural daylight within our meeting space and I believe this will not only enhance our already strong offering for meetings and events but also show that feedback is valuable for us to make the changes our clients and guests would like to see." he said.
The hotel offers a wide range of options for meeting and events, including healthy eating packages and those which include exercise sessions to keep delegates alert and energised.
Anyone wanting more information about booking the terrace should email events.heathrow@hilton.com or call 0208 750 0645.

Now that I have time to actually be calm about Devil May Cry 5 (I am so lying right now; the excitement levels are still at the top). I think talking about this title's importance is needed. When I started with the series was with the fourth installment. I have known about the series, but the PS3 was my first Sony console and I always seen tons of Dante thanks to Devil May Cry 3 videos on the internet. I even watched the animated series which some people like to get mad about that product, but I am simply okay with it. Either way the most obvious point to mention is that it has been ten years since we got numerical sequel for this franchise. There was the reboot game which we shall get to at some point in this post. Lately Capcom seems like it is bringing back their old golden standard, I mean not only is there Devil May Cry we also got Megaman and more to standard Resident Evil game. Overall though, this fifth title is going to be extremely important to the market as the Devil May Cry name has only been getting stronger over time.
So with the mention of DmC: Devil May Cry, the reboot title developed by Ninja Theory there is no doubt it damaged the franchise a bit. Whether you like the game or not, it cannot be ignored that the issues with DmC did cause some conflicts. Capcom simply wanted a Western take on the franchise which soon got a bit out of hand thanks to the development team. Ninja Theory did listen to Capcom about what they wanted for this title, but then how they reacted to the initial spark of insanity is made everything go crazy. Ninja Theory calling out fans which soon lead to articles saying that fans were being dumb and a disappointment to the franchise itself. Also, the whole fact that the company compared the female characters of the franchise to prostitutes, classy. So, with the madness that began from a teaser trailer is quite silly. When the company is then starting to throw insults, the anger is easier to understand. Now when the game did first come out, yea there were issues to the game itself. Later on, though they did make a new version of the game and fixed many of those problems, including some cut scenes. Either way though, DmC was a bit too damaged to be saved and while the fourth game got a special edition, it still took some time for number five.
Capcom clearly did not forget about the franchise since Dante still had his fighting game appearances, but at this point he was up there with Darkstalker characters with the fact that they will just be in the fighting games. High chance the interest came back up though even before Marvel VS Capcom Infinite when the special edition of the fourth game did well in sales. The sales numbers were actually one of the big reasons why the reboot even happened in the first place. So why did Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition do well? The obvious answer was that high chance with the turmoil, it did get more people to know the name of the franchise. I bet while not selling well, the reboot did get attention from outsiders. Then with the magic of the internet and being able to buy so much from online services and those HD ports of the first three games, people just had time to check this franchise out during the quiet times. Devil May Cry is getting more fans, so this fifth game could be big for the sales numbers.
This has always been Devil May Cry's biggest issue in its history. The original game did well to make it into a franchise and while the first and second games did good in sales, the third game did the worst. The first game did the best in sales out of the first three, that is not a good sign. The fourth game actually did the best which is thanks to making that game for Microsoft's consoles as well compared to the Sony only days. Still Capcom was not impressed by the numbers. Now we are back to the original feel of the series after the reboot game, if this game does well, there could be more demon hunters in the future.
Now for some personal reasons why I am saying that Devil May Cry 5 is important is because of the recent scene that action games are having right now. God of War for the Playstation 4 came out and while many people did like it, there were some people quite confused with it. I would be one of the confused ones because the combat was so poor compared to so many other action titles. Whenever someone would have this opinion the fans of the new God of War will tell those people that the game is being better regardless because of the focus on its story. I will be blunt about this, if a game is going to have action in it, have the action be good. I would rather play DmC before the new God of War because thanks to the newer version of the reboot it plays a whole lot better, sure that story is still awful, but I rather have a more action-packed adventure compared to a game where walking takes half of the game. Does Devil May Cry have exploration? Yes, this is because of its Resident Evil roots and exploring was still being done better than the straight line you mostly have in God of War.
I feel like the action game genre is having a bit of trouble lately and of course the overall love for cinematic games. The thing is that there are many games I can call cinematic games but having that not be a problem. The Bayonetta series is proving that it can have amazing production values through its action and not just cut scenes. Bayonetta is quite the opposite in that factor too since the cut scenes can play like a slide show at times and still be enjoyable. There is also the fact that I feel an action game needs a skip function for the scenes. The problem with these games focusing on its walking and such, it feels that the cut scene effect takes too long even in-game play. Devil May Cry never had this trouble and while they do have their cut scenes, I can have more enjoyment with them. Games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry have a more simplistic fun with their cut scenes and there is nothing wrong with that. Hell, I can easily remember them more for the fun they shown me, like Devil May Cry 3's opening scene.
Or when Dante rocks out!
Going back to these cinematic games, like God of War for example. I do fear that the movie styled games are going to cut down on the combat. God of War shows us this by adding things that are simply not needed. Walking, walking, and walking. Okay there are more problems like the whole camera view in that game and how it just gives Kratos a blinking indicator on his back on when an enemy is going to attack. While it was not a bad idea of why it is there, it creates a problem that makes reading foes easier. The previous God of War games did not have this problem and while I am not a big fan when the series quickly went into QTE hell, I can still say those games had better combat. I really have to call out on God of War's combat when a PS2 game called God Hand has similarities to it and have a deeper combat system, maybe a bit too complicated, but I rather learn to play an action game. God of War never really shows this and the further you get in, it gets easier thanks to the new weapons you gain. The farther you get into God Hand you still need to set up your move list and while you have more to use, you need to know how they work together.
While God of War is better made, God Hand still comes off as better experience for me.
Bayonetta did make the whole process of learning combos easier and in return they made the enemies for aggressive. Bayonetta teaches you of to dodge to get big rewards and those games never have an indicator on her back. The experimentation is still around thanks to new weapons you can use. It gets around a problem that games like Kingdom Hearts has for me with how easy it is to use one button to win the game. Devil May Cry follows these ideas as well and thanks with a strict combo system that depending on a certain rank you have, you can actually start to damage some of the enemies. Metal Gear Rising teaches you to play offensively and still read the foe so that you can parry and get right back into your attacks. The Yakuza franchise has open combat and teaches you to store energy and use the environment around you. While action games can be hard to get into, I feel that is a massive appeal to them because when you master them, you can start to have more fun with the combat. Then thanks to multiple methods of mastering combat just keeps opening up possibilities of how you can play and learn. Action games needs to teach people the hard way at times and it's fine to struggle in the beginning. A game like God of War does not have these factors which makes the combat too easy to learn and yet be a game that is slow to get through.
Overall, my biggest hope for a game like Devil May Cry 5 is that the mainstream audience can start to learn more about the good feelings of intense action. Games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne do well with being known has hard action games. There is no reason why any action game should make itself easier with its mechanics. The only option is to give more possibilities to use and learn because with that method people can find their own ideas. Bayonetta did do well thanks to the sequel it rightly deserved and there is even Nier Automata that even tells a strong story along with rich and open combat. So far Devil May Cry 5 is showing off its flashy combat correctly thanks to many ideas and weapons to use for combos. All that is left to say is that my Devil Trigger has been pulled as I cannot wait to enjoy the rich combat that Devil May Cry has been known for, as I hope many others will learn as well.
Nero can ride on his own arm! Who needs Dad of War?!

Treasure Fever
Most visitors come to Cape Canaveral, on the northeast coast of Florida, for the tourist attractions. It's home to the second-busiest cruise ship port in the world and is a gateway to the cosmos. Nearly 1.5 million visitors flock here every year to watch rockets, spacecraft, and satellites blast off into the solar system from Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, reminding us of the restless reach of our species. Nearly 64 kilometers of undeveloped beach and 648 square kilometers of protected refuge fan out from the cape's sandy shores. And then there's the draw of relics like Turtle Mound, a vast hill containing 27,000 cubic meters of oyster shells left by Indigenous tribes several thousand years ago.
Yet some of Cape Canaveral's most storied attractions lie unseen, wedged under the sea's surface in mud and sand, for this part of the world has a reputation as a deadly ship trap. Over the centuries, dozens of stately Old World galleons smashed, splintered, and sank on this irregular stretch of windy Florida coast. They were vessels built for war and commerce, traversing the globe carrying everything from coins to ornate cannons, boxes of silver and gold ingots, chests of emeralds and porcelain, and pearls from the Caribbean—the stuff of legends.
Cape Canaveral contains one of the greatest concentrations of colonial shipwrecks in the world, though the majority of them have never been found. In recent years, advances in radar, sonar, scuba diving, detection equipment, computers, and GPS have transformed the hunt. The naked eye might see a pile of rocks, centuries of concretions, crusts of coral, decayed and worm-eaten wood, oxidized metal—but technology can reveal the precious artifacts that lie hidden full fathom five on the ocean floor.

I'm not a rich person either. I apologize for making this difficult but I need help please.
Time is an issue. May want to pray for it to happen and ask for success in getting into the school with your friend. You can place the principal name in a sugar jar with a petition. paper that states exactly what you want: Principal John Doe call and offer me a placement in this school for the 2018-2019 school year. Pray 23 Psalms over the jar and Psalms 78 to gain favor with government officials. Save p and order LM crown of success products to be successful in schooling and work.
I have few question.yesterday arrived my lm packet with amazing stuff.tnx again ..
Now l want to do something to improving success in school for my son(12yo)..,to motivate more for learning,to be more concentrate in school,in global to be better student and to get better grades..
What could l do to improve his succes in school right now..

One thing you can do to provide success for your son in school is to use the Crown of Success oil and Anoit the top of his head and say " may all your works be crowned with success". You can do this discreetly.
As for writing a petition paper.
2. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise to draw in your petition for courage and success.
3. Now cross and cover their name with your command written the same number of times as their name.
Then fold the paper towards you to draw in your wishes, turn paper clockwise to bring in success, fold again towards you and turn. I normally fold about 3 times depending on the size of my paper. Then use this with your works.

Tnx for advices mr.Edvard T.
Love Me (or Attraction) -- to dress his schoolbooks and to track into the classroom, so that he falls in love with learning and his teachers adore him and treat him well.
Oh yess MissMichaele...I really need this because everything that interests him is football and fishing...he behaves like he does not go to school and like he have not school obligations..
I read pslams 134 for success in school work (via high school, college and above) and do it over a crown of success candle, king Solomon would be a great additive to that as well.
Now l see that i forget few more oils so l need to order soon because l will move to another state in 1-2 months..and l need that for a new beginning..
I very recently finished applying to graduate schools (9 in total) and am expecting decisions in the upcoming months.
I want to make a mojo hand for myself to attract acceptance letters/offers from the programs I applied to. I would be very grateful if I can have some guidance in what objects to put in the mojo bag.
Right now I have lodestone, angelica root, master root, Solomon's seal root, golden seal, peony root, frankincense resin and fenugreek seeds (all purchased from LM a while back).
1) I would like to include in my mojo bag lodestone to attract offers and frankincense to increase the power of my mojo hand. What else would be appropriate to add to it?
2) Regarding my petition paper, I'll dust it with crown of success powder, one question is can I list the names of the schools I desperately want to get into on the paper? Or would that be too specific?
3) I'm also planning to burn a candle dressed with road opener oil, then burn a gold candle dressed with crown of success. Does that sound appropriate?
4) Is there any paritcular saint that I should pray to?
1) You're right on the money with the lodestone and frankincense. Angelica root and Golden Seal root are both used for protection against evil and marrers of healing so it would serve you no beneficial purpase in this type of working. Peony however would be good in a mojo bag of this nature as one of its uses is for genraeral good luck. I would definitely add the Master Root to your mojo.
2) You can most definitely list the name of the schools. It's clear, clean, and concise...straight to the point and that's the goal. Go for it.
4) I would nkt say "should". That would implies to me that one HAS to work with a saint to perform this spell which isn't the case. Howwver if you'd prefer to work with a saint the I would recommend you petition St Thomas Aquinas for this working.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions to help me get my kids teacher to add her to the high school chorus. She only accepts so many kids per year and I want to give her the best chance to get in. Thanks for any suggestions. I was thinking of laying powders across her door, desk, but I'm not sure if that would work, so I'm open to any ideas.
I have moved your post to the correct thread as you were posting in the topic on bullying. Please search the forum for the right topic to post under, as you will see we have nearly every subject already covered.
I've moved your post to the discussion on gaining admission to a specific school or program as it felt most appropriate to your desire to have your child admitted to the school's chorus. Please read through the posts here for advice and ideas that could help.
If you still have questions after reading, feel free to ask us here.
Vypermojo, Crown of Success is your friend here.
Get a bottle of the oil. Write a small petition paper for and pray over it for your daughter's aceptance into the choir. Mark it with the oil -- with your oiled fingertip, draw a tiny X in each corner and the center -- fold it toward you, and have your daughter wear it in her shoe. She can also wear the oil to school as a personal scent (its fragrance is refreshing and mild) and track it into the chorus classroom on her shoes.
You can also add Psalms 134 to your work as you pray for her success in school matters. Its a nice short one and could probably memorized quickly to use even at school.

Colin Scott is celebrating two anniversaries -- his 40th anniversary in the whisky business and 25th anniversary as the Master Blender for Chivas Regal and Royal Salute whiskies. His latest release is a tribute to Royal Salute's ties to the world of professional polo, and Colin took his inspiration for the blend from working with his family's polo ponies. He'll discuss his blends and working with whiskies that were just being distilled when he started his career on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Suntory denies reports that it's bidding for Whyte & Mackay and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail sets a new visitor record. We'll also have reaction to a moment in this week's WhiskyCast HD interview that caught Richard Paterson off guard, along with tasting notes for the Dalmore expression he created with Chef Daniel Boulud.
More coverage of the Victoria Whisky Festival in this bonus edition of WhiskyCast, with details on new and upcoming releases from Springbank, Duncan Taylor, Tomatin, and Glenfarclas. In the news, Whyte & Mackay's Richard Paterson discusses his concerns over the future of the company in an exclusive WhiskyCast interview, the world record price for a single bottle of whisky sold at auction has been shattered, and Barry Wilde of Alberta's Highwood Distillers updates us on the recovery from last summer's massive flooding that shut the distillery down for weeks.
This is the first of two episodes from this weekend's Victoria Whisky Festival in British Columbia, where Canadian whisky was featured on opening night with the presentation of the 2013 Canadian Whisky Awards. Corby's Lot No. 40 ended Forty Creek Distillery's three-year run as Canadian Whisky of the Year, but by the slimmest of margins. We'll hear from the winners, as well as the equally pleased runners-up. In the news, Suntory's $16 billion deal to acquire Beam is drawing fire from some critics, Wild Turkey will honor Jimmy Russell with a special bottling to mark his 60th anniversary at the distillery this year, and Clynelish will be the latest Diageo distillery in Scotland to get an expansion. Mark also offers a commentary on the Suntory-Beam merger and why it's good for whisky lovers.
London and Seattle have a few things in common: reputations for foggy, rainy weather...a vibrant cultural scene...and now, craft distilleries. Seattle's had them for several years, and the guys at Westland Distillery are actually on their second one, having moved from their original distillery to a brand-new one just south of downtown Seattle. London had whisky distilleries until 1905, but Darren Rook's London Distillery Company has just started making its first experimental batches of whisky in Battersea using one of the UK's smallest distilleries. We'll find out more on both distillers in this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth...in the news, the UK is implementing a new plan to certify the authenticity of Scotch Whisky, there's talk that the UK may cut whisky taxes ahead of the Scottish independence referendum, and Louisville's about to announce a major Bourbon event for this May.
Southern California isn't the place you'd normally think of for a Bourbon to call home, but Steve Gertman picked the wine country of Santa Barbara County to locate his Ascendant Spirits Distillery and produce Breaker Bourbon. Gertman joins us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth, and explains why he gave up a career most guys would dream of: producing TV shows featuring some of the world's hottest cars. We'll also look at a new Scottish Government report on the impact of Scotch Whisky exports, the latest release from Bowmore, and tasting notes for a 60-year-old Glenfarclas single malt.
