Moving Toward Funding an Advising Center Using Student Advising Fees
Authored by: William Fleming
Something had to be done about the advising practices at Sam Houston State University. In the years before research and scholarship became focal faculty achievements, students were assigned to faculty advisors across campus. But the days when faculty could devote the time necessary to adequately advise students were soon over. As the emphasis on research increased, faculty service areas became back burner items. This shift occurred even as it became increasingly apparent that we must provide closer and more intrusive advising for students struggling in their college courses.
Encouragement from the Administrationz
Talk of the need for an advising center circulated among faculty, but no changes occurred. Then a new Vice President for Academic Affairs came to Sam Houston bringing with him the knowledge and desire for an advising center. Even so, financing was unavailable until the new Sam Houston president placed funding forefront in talks with Faculty Senate. Spurred by these talks, a committee was appointed to research Sam Houston student fees as compared to fees charged at other Texas universities. This group discovered that Sam Houston had some of the lowest overall fees in the state.
To provide students with quality advising services, we needed to find funds beyond those appropriated by the state. In our comparisons with other universities-even those of a similar size student-body within our system-we found that many increased fees, charged additional course fees, or charged advising fees.
The Proposal for an Advising Fee
In February 2002, a recommendation was submitted to the president advocating various additional fees including a designated Advising Center Fee. Rationale for this fee included the complexity of academic programs and the regulations associated with certain degree requirements. The advising fee would defray the costs of advising with income used to pay the wages of the staff associated with the University Advising Center and the costs of center operation.
The committee cited fees at comparable institutions including the University of Texas where various amounts are charged for advising--from $50 to $135 per semester or $36 to $101 per summer session--depending on the student's major, classification, and college affiliation. We proposed a $50 per semester/$25 per summer session advising fee per student.
Convincing the Students of the Need
Now came the challenge. Strategy talks began when the president stated that he would formally propose increased fees to the Board of Regents only if fees garnered student approval. We knew: (1) many students, perhaps even a majority, had experienced poor advising; (2) advising was mandatory for at least 1/3 of students (below 2.5 GPA, no SHSU GPA, TASP restrictions); (3) students, no matter how familiar they were with the catalog, did not know the intricacies of curricula; (4) many students did not know how to interpret degree plans; and (5) students doing poor academic work needed special advising. With these thoughts in mind, we approached the Student Government Association with the largest fee increase ever proposed.
Fee proposals were presented at four Student Government assemblies by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Student Affairs, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Chair of the Faculty Senate.
At each meeting, the floor was open for questions. Some students suggested that they should be able to self-advise using the catalogue. Others countered that self-advising would be impossible for transfer students designing a degree plan with course substitutions. Many could take courses they didn't need. Other students noted that they were frustrated when their advisors were unavailable and had nowhere to turn; this was particularly true for students affected by mandatory advisement. Some questioned an advising fee for graduate students, since they are advised in their individual colleges, and suggested that graduate student advising fees be used to promote various graduate programs.
Approval of the Fee
The Student Government approved the fees. Although the vote was not unanimous, students recognized the need and accepted the proposed solution. Board of Regents approval took place in May 2002, and the Advising Center became a reality. Completely financed by the Advising Center fee, the Student Advising and Mentoring Center (SAM) now serves Sam Houston undergraduates.

Remarks by the First Lady at Florida Campus Compact Awards Gala
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you everyone. Please, please, have a seat. Thank you so much. Congressman Boyd, I want to thank you for that very kind introduction. And thank you for your outstanding leadership in Washington on behalf of Florida's families, and for your proud support of Florida Campus Compact and the cause of service –- here in this state and across the country. We are very proud of you. And let's give Congressman Boyd a round of applause. (Applause.)
I am thrilled to join all of you here today as we recognize the outstanding work you're all doing as part of Florida Campus Compact.
And I'd like to start by just thanking a few people -- former Senator Bob Graham -- (applause), former Congresswoman Carrie Meek, who is here -- (applause). We are honored by your presence and also for your lifetime leadership and your continued service to this state and our nation. We are grateful to the both of you.
I also want to acknowledge Mayor Bower, who is doing terrific work for the people of Miami Beach.
And I also want to thank Frank Brogan, who's the Chancellor of Florida's State University -- the system here -- for his commitment to service to the students of this state. We are just grateful for his leadership.
And I also want to thank someone who I got to party with on Tuesday -- (laughter) -- and I think you exaggerate by saying we could win any salsa contest. I might be able to, but I don't know about -- (laughter and applause.) Dr. Eduardo Padron, President of Miami Dade College, thank you for us hosting us here today.
And of course, I want to recognize the superwoman at my table, Dee Dee Rasmussen, your Executive Director -- (applause). I learned a lot about all her good crazy, because in addition to running this organization, she is raising three kids on her own. She serves on the school board. She's nuts -- but it's the good kind of nuts. (Laughter.) I want to thank her for her boundless energy, her passionate commitment to our young people, and her devoted leadership to Florida Campus Compact. Dee Dee, thank you so much. (Applause.)
And finally, I want to thank all of you, everyone here -– to the faculty, to the students, service directors, the administrators, the college and university presidents who have embraced Campus Compact's mission of making service and service-learning an integral part of higher education in America.
And I know that what you're doing isn't easy -- especially now. I know that many of you are struggling with budget cuts and layoffs, and you're all living in that perfect storm of decreasing donations and increasing demand. And many of you have been putting in long hours and late nights to make up that difference –- work that doesn't exactly come with a lot of overtime pay. Yes, I know. And I know that these labors are of love, but they don't always get the recognition and the rewards that they deserve.
So today, I want you all to know just how much that the President and I truly appreciate your work. That is why I came here today. I want you to know how proud we are, how grateful we are for what you are doing every day. With the challenges that we face today, your work to give young people the tools and the inspiration to pursue public service couldn't be more critical -- and you of all people know that.
Whether the issues are climate change, or keeping our communities safe, to providing desperately needed health care in underserved communities and desperately needed teachers in underperforming schools, these issues are critical.
Believe it or not, in the next four years, as many as one third of America's 3.2 million teachers could retire. And by 2014, just five short years from now, the Department of Education projects that our nation's schools will need to hire as many as 1 million new teachers. Shortages in high-need schools will be particularly acute, as you can imagine.
So today, more than ever, we really need skilled, committed, service-minded young people –- young people with the insight into these issues and the experience working with these communities –- we need them to step forward and to help us meet these challenges.
But there's also good news in recent years, and you all have seen this. We have seen more and more young people who are eager to do just that. Applications are way up for AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, and last year, 25,000 young people applied for just 4,000 slots in Teach for America. So young people are volunteering through their schools, and their churches, their synagogues, and their mosques. They are concerned about the environmental implications and the ethical implications of the products they buy and the lifestyle they're -- lead. These young people are thinking about the world, and there's a growing sense among this next generation that maybe service is a little cool -- and that's okay.
But the question is, how do we harness all that energy and all that excitement? How do we show these young people that service can be more than just something that you do once in a while, that it can be more than just something that you do for a year or two after you graduate, but service can be a way of life, it can even be a career? How do we contend with the traditional definitions of what success should look like, those beliefs that still hold sway over so many young people -– the idea that success means money, or power, or prestige, and that it comes with a nice house and a fancy car? How do we counter those voices that tell them, "Well, if you don't get paid a lot money for what you do, then maybe what you do really isn't that valuable." Or voices that say, "Well, that's awfully nice that you want to do service, but when are you going to get a real job?" (Applause.)
And trust me, I've heard those voices before in my own life. As many of you know by now -- if you haven't heard about my background -- I started my career at a big fancy law firm, and it was a wonderful experience working for big companies and making a whole lot of money. I think in my first year of working, I've made more than both of my parents combined.
And when I decided to leave for a public service job, let me tell you, my family and my friends started to worry about my sanity. (Laughter.) My mother was concerned that I'd taken her advice to follow my heart just a little too far. And my friends thought I was throwing away a promising career and a lucrative paycheck. They thought I was nuts. And while everyone thought that my heart was in the right place, a lot of people wondered whether my head was on straight.
But I knew right away that I had made the right decision when I stepped away from corporate America and into service. As the congressman stated, I helped start this wonderful new AmeriCorps program called Public Allies. I worked with a group of dedicated visionary young people and I helped to found the Chicago chapter, and in that program we spent years preparing 18 to 30 year-olds from all walks of life for careers in public service.
And after that I then left and went to the University of Chicago to start their first campus-wide community service program. And every day, I got to work with extraordinary young people from all different backgrounds. Every day, I saw how each of them had something to contribute, and how each of them had the potential to lead.
It felt really good. It didn't matter how much money I was making, it didn't matter how prestigious my job seemed to others –- I knew I was making an impact in the community that raised me. I knew I was helping to change people's lives in ways that I couldn't, sitting behind a big fancy desk. I felt more successful than ever before in my life.
And that is the chance that all of you in Campus Compact are giving to young people all across this state every day. That is the power of service-learning: to show that higher education isn't just about producing good students, which is important, or just successful professionals, which is important, but it's about producing good citizens and great leaders and engaged members of our democracy. (Applause.) It's not just about imparting a body of knowledge and then handing them a degree; it's about ensuring that they're going to use that degree to contribute to the communities that they came from. And it's about modeling a way of life.
All of you are helping to redefine the role of universities in our communities, replacing the old image of the remote ivory tower with a caring and engaged partner. It's simple, but maybe revolutionary: that universities have an obligation to be good citizens, and that students' education is about more than just what their -- what their school and community can give to them; it's also about what they can give back to their school and community.
And we know the difference this kind of learning makes. We all know. We've seen it. We know that students become more engaged in what they're learning and more aware of the world around them. We know that their writing and critical thinking skills improve, and so do their GPAs.
And even if your students don't ultimately pursue a career in public service, what's important is that they graduate with a public service orientation –- an understanding of the problems in our communities; an awareness of the skills they have to offer; and a sense of the difference they can make when they commit their time and their effort.
They become, in a sense, volunteers for life. And we need these insights and this experience just as much –- if not more –- in the private sector as we do in the public sector. You all know we need business leaders motivated by both the pursuit of profit and the pursuit of the public good. If we want to fight -- (applause) -- if we want to fight climate change and create green jobs in this economy, we're going to need CEOs who are committed to preserving our environment. If we want to boost student achievement in our schools, we are going to need businesswomen and men, and lawyers, and scientists and others willing to serve as partners and mentors. If we want to pursue and promote better wellness in all of our communities, we're going to need health care professionals, we're going to need hospital executives who understand the needs of underserved populations.
And most of all, we need citizens who believe that volunteering in your community isn't just something that you do once in a while, or on a holiday; that it's something that's part of your life routine –- like going to the gym, or the grocery store, or picking up your kids from school -- service is forever -- because ultimately we know that so many of the best solutions to the most difficult problems in our communities don't come from boardrooms, or courtrooms, or Congress, or the White House for that matter. Some of the best solutions come directly from the communities themselves.
That's what all of you are teaching students every day by partnering with community organizations. And that's precisely the idea at the heart of what my husband's administration is doing to promote service all across America.
It's why he's launched a new community innovation initiative to seek out the best, most effective non-profits in our communities -– organizations that could be the next Teach for America, or Harlem Children's Zone –- who worked together and then we can replicate those efforts across America.
It's why he was proud to sign the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act -– expanding Senior Corps, and AmeriCorps and other initiatives to give people -- (applause) -- to give people of all ages a chance to serve their communities.
It's why we've requested more funding for service learning, and why we're reaching out to partners in the private sector to find ways to use new media to spark a greater interest in service learning.
And it's why I'm proud that this year's national Learn & Serve Challenge, a week-long effort designed to promote service-learning, has generated participation from more than 75,000 people doing nearly 200 different projects.
And it's why way back in June we launched United We Serve, a nationwide effort calling on all Americans to make service part of their daily lives.
We reached out to hundreds of non-profit organizations, and corporations, and foundations, government agencies, and we asked ordinary Americans to become service leaders –- to develop their own service projects and post them online so that others could join.
And while we provided the inspiration and the resources to get things started, it's taken off in ways that we never could have ever imagined. We partnered with more than 400 organizations, and there were more than 250,000 service opportunities available on serve.gov.
Big companies like Citigroup and Wal-Mart and others, they answered the call by devoting thousands and thousands of volunteer hours and millions of dollars. The sports and entertainment industries participated too. In fact, this week, and we're excited about that, thanks to an unprecedented effort organized by the Entertainment Industry Foundation, more than 90 television shows on a wide range of networks and cable channels will include service themes in their programming. That's next week. (Applause.)
The lesson here is pretty clear -- and that is that each of us has a role to play, and all of us have something to offer. No matter where you come from, or what you do for a living, you can make a difference in someone's life. And in doing so, you can make a difference in your own life as well.
At least that's what Matt Flood, an alum of the University of Central Florida learned, back when he took a class called "Creative Writing in the Community." He put it this way. He said, "This world is a lot larger than my experiences, and a project like this has the potential of teaching me more than what I can learn in a traditional collegiate classroom environment."
That's what Rebekah Reams from Valencia Community College learned when she volunteered at Habitat for Humanity. She wrote, "I highly recommend volunteering for everyone who wants to be a part of something great, even though it means getting up early on a Saturday morning." (Laughter.)
And today, I am thinking about what happens when folks like you inspire a student like Rebekah, and then she decides she wants to spend her life being "part of something great." Maybe she works as a nurse in an underserved area, helping to heal hundreds of patients. Or becomes an architect and designs affordable housing for thousands of people. Maybe she becomes a teacher in an inner city or rural school, inspiring generations of students to serve their own community.
And then you take that energy and you multiply that by the millions of students across America who have been engaged by Campus Compact, and then you have some idea of the ripple effect of the work that you're doing –- all of the problems solved, all of the communities lifted up, all of the lives transformed by the students whose lives you've transformed.
If that's not the definition of success, then it's hard to figure out what is. And today, President Obama and I, we honor you, we celebrate you, and more than anything, we thank you for everything that you do to serve your communities and your nation.
The only thing I can say is, hang in there. Don't stop. Keep it going. There are young people who are looking to you for who they can be. They're looking to you to figure out how do they place themselves in the world, the life that they can envision. Every single day you are moving and changing lives in ways that are unimaginable.
And if you need any proof, look at me. I am living proof of the work and the impact of the work that you do. So we are grateful to you. And it has been a privilege to be here among you.
Good luck and stay strong. Thank you so much. (Applause.)

The Norwegian military has announced plans to introduce 'meatless Mondays' into army diets, in a bid to battle a more unusual enemy – climate change.
Troops will be placed on a strict vegetarian diet once a week to reduce the amount of ecologically unfriendly foods they eat, whose production can contribute heavily to global warming.
The new dietary regime has been trialled at some of Norway's larger bases and military bosses now plan to roll it out across all units. They hope to reduce their meat consumption by 150 tonnes per year.
Their scheme has been praised by The Future in Our Hands (FOH), a Norwegian organisation that aims to reduce the consumption of natural resources by society. FOH claim an average Norwegian will eat more than 1,200 animals in their lifetime.
"The defence ministry deserves a lot of praise because it's taking climate and environmental issues seriously", the group's director, Arild Hermstad told AFP.
Join the army of the kind.
I agree – great start!
Fantastic initiative. Maybe they will enjoy it so much they will want to eat more vegetarian meals.
That would be awesome! Thanks, Emy.

Pulse Labs co-founders Abhishek Suthan (CEO) and Dylan Zwick (CPO) brought their crowdsourced voice app testing service into the first Alexa Accelerator class operated by TechStars in 2017. Since then, they have assembled hundreds of pre-screened voice app testers and provided UX feedback to nearly a hundred voice apps on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Along they way, the company raised $2.5 million from venture funds at both Amazon and Google and Jeff Bezos' personal investment fund. Abhishek earned CS and CE degrees from Georgia Tech and an MBA from Emory University. Dylan earned a PhD in Math and Masters degree in data science from the University of Utah along with Masters and undergraduate degrees in statistics and math from Stanford.
In this episode, we talk at length about testing Alexa skills and Google Assistant Actions for user experience. Abhishek and Dylan outline how Pulse Labs sources experienced testers gathers the feedback and provides it to their customers, the voice app publishers. We also talk about how the founders first met, go into the details behind the Alexa Accelerator program and how it was raising funding from both Amazon and Google simultaneously.

Update from RYA on BREXIt
RYA update on status of vessels lying in the EU27 at the time of Brexit in the event of 'no deal'
This content has been copied from the RYA Website There is an update on this link from 2019-04-11
The RYA is in constant dialogue with HMRC in order to obtain definitive answers to the many questions that are of concern to our 112,000 members. In particular, we have been working closely with the UK Government to address specific boater concerns on how their boats will be treated when returning to the UK from EU waters in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
HMRC has now responded to a specific question regarding the treatment of boats returning to the UK from EU27 waters.
The RYA previously received information from the European Commission which indicated that in the event of a no deal Brexit, boats lying in the EU27 at the time of Brexit would retain Union status and boats lying in the UK at the time of a no deal Brexit would lose Union status and have the status of UK goods.
The Commission indicated that there would have been no export and therefore a boat lying in the UK at the time of a no deal Brexit would not be entitled to relief from VAT and import duty at the time of reimport to the EU and therefore VAT and, if applicable, import duty would be payable unless the boat qualifies for temporary admission. As UK legislation is based on the Union Customs Code and the EU Vat Directive, we expressed our concern about the future status of boats lying in the EU27 if we have a no deal Brexit.
As such, we asked HMRC on behalf of RYA members, if boat owners would be able to bring them back to the UK without VAT and import duty (if applicable) becoming payable.
HM Government's response is that it is still working towards a deal with the EU, but that plans have been made to replicate Returned Goods Relief (RGR) into domestic law in the event of a no deal.
RGR allows those resident in the UK to return with their belongings (including pleasure boats) to the UK without paying customs duty or VAT as long as the items have not been changed since their departure and follow the guidance given in the Notice 236 Returned Good Relief.
The UK Government has undertaken that RGR will be available in respect of UK pleasure craft not moored in the UK on EU exit day. They may return to the UK after the exit and be subject to Returned Goods Relief as long as the person responsible has evidence that the VAT was paid on the purchase of the boat in either the UK or the EU. The types of proof needed are shown in Notice 8. VAT accounted for in the UK would need to be shown in respect of vessels purchased after the date of the EU exit.
Vessel owners not established in the UK can temporarily import their vessels using the rules set out in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notice-8-sailing-your-pleasure-craft-to-and-from-the-uk/notice-8-sailing-your-pleasure-craft-to-and-from-the-uk#section5
There is no need to have every UK boat back in the UK on the 29/03/2019 or EU exit day
This was the RYA response to a question raised on behalf of the club; some of this detail is now modified by the latest information above:
"At present it remains unclear what the situation will be after 29 March 2019. If a deal between the UK and the EU is agreed, then there will be a transition period, from 29 March 2019 until 31 December 2020 (unless otherwise negotiated) during which we understand the UK's current terms of EU membership continue, though without formal UK representation in the EU institutions and with the agreement that the UK will be able to sign (though not implement) trade deals with non-EU countries. If a deal between the UK and the EU is not agreed then the UK will leave the EU in March 2019 and will be treated by the remaining 27 EU Member States (EU27) as any other 3rd country would be treated.
Brexit will affect those things that the EU controls such as border controls and the movement of goods and people. Recreational boating qualifications, boat registration and insurance are generally matters for domestic/national legislation and in theory at least should not be affected. The Racing Rules govern the sport of sailing on the water. They are revised and published every four years by World Sailing. They are not controlled by the EU, so there is no reason that we have identified which would suggest that the impact on boats that are racing will be any different to the impact on boats that are not racing.
The Government has published information relating to passports at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/passport-rules-for-travel-to-europe-after-brexit.
I hope you will find the following generic information relating to a no deal Brexit useful.
If an EU member state is happy that someone keeps their vessel on its territorial or internal waters now there is no reason that we can see why that should not be the case after Brexit. However we await confirmation that will be the case.
The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) (or to give it its full title International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft) is not an EU document. It is issued under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Inland Transport Committee Working Party on Inland Water Transport Resolution 40. It is this resolution which details how and to whom the ICC may be issued, the syllabus requirements, the layout of the certificate and it also lists the countries which have notified the UNECE Secretariat that they have accepted the resolution. The UK Government has accepted Resolution 40 and has authorised the RYA to issue the ICC on its behalf.
If the EU were to develop a skipper licensing for private pleasure craft directive or regulation at some point in the future acceptance of the ICC in EU countries might change. But at present we have no reason to suspect that acceptance of the ICC might change as a direct consequence of Brexit.
Freedom of movement throughout the EU is a basic principal of the EU which applies both to goods made and supplied in the Union and to goods which have been imported and released for free circulation. Boats which have the customs status of Union goods (Union status) may move, without being subject to a customs procedure, from one point to another within the customs territory of the Union, and temporarily out of that territory by sea without alteration of their customs status provided that their Union status is proven. In order for a boat to have Union status VAT must be accounted for and if the boat has been imported any applicable customs duty must also have been paid. The owner is then able to move the boat freely through the EU.
The RYA has been in discussions with Government and Parliamentarians to emphasise the importance of boats maintaining the status of Union goods after the UK exits the EU. However, unless an alternative arrangement is agreed in a deal between the UK and the EU, we anticipate that the boat's status after Brexit will depend on its location at the point in time where the UK leaves the EU.
In the event of no deal our assumption (based on information supplied by the European Commission) is that if a boat has Union status and is in a port or the internal or territorial waters of the EU27 at the point in time where the UK leaves the EU, it will keep its Union status. It will retain that status while it remains in the EU27 and if it is exported and returns to the customs territory of the Union, assuming the conditions of re-import (in accordance with both the Union Customs Code and the VAT Directive) are met, relief from import duty would be granted and an exemption on the payment of VAT should be applicable.
Means of proving Union status are detailed in the Union Customs Code Implementing Regulations. Of the documents listed, an invoice or a paper T2L are the most suitable for recreational boats. In the event of a no-deal Brexit it may be beneficial for owners of boats lying in the EU at the time of Brexit to have obtained a T2L from HMRC. It may also be prudent to retain evidence that the boat was in the EU at the time of Brexit. Note: HMRC will only issue a T2L with a UK address.
We have information provided by the European Commission which indicates that in the event of a no deal Brexit, if a boat is in the UK (or UK territorial waters) at the point in time where the UK leaves the EU, it will assume UK status and will lose its Union status. The Commission's view is that the boat will not have been exported from the EU and therefore if the owner wanted to import it into the EU at a later date, it would not be entitled to relief from VAT and import duty; any evidence the owner previously had (such as an invoice or T2L) would therefore no longer demonstrate Union status.
In theory if a boat is outside the UK and UK territorial waters at the point in time where the UK leaves the EU, VAT and import duty will become payable when the boat returns to the UK, unless it qualifies for relief from VAT and import duty on its return or it is eligible for temporary admission (which would not be available to a boat registered in the UK or to somebody established in the UK).
In the event of no deal a UK registered boat which does not have Union Status entering the EU27 may be able to claim Temporary Admission. Boats without the status of Union goods which are registered outside the EU and which are owned by someone who is established outside the EU are entitled to 18 months Temporary Admission. After 18 months they must either be imported or leave the EU. If they leave the EU they can return almost immediately and start a further 18 months Temporary Admission. If the boat is imported into the EU (paying VAT and import duty) it gains the status of Union goods and the 18 month restriction no longer applies. The immigration situation for the owner is however different and the owner is often permitted to spend significantly less time in the Schengen area than the boat can spend in the EU – for 3rd country nationals a restriction of 90 days in any 180 days period applies.
There could be limitations on the number of days that UK citizens who are not normally resident in the EU post Brexit can spend in the community area while visiting their boats, but again we assume that UK Citizens who are normally resident in an EU 27 Country will be able to stay without penalty although there may well be caveats – length of time etc. It all depends on how this is resolved in the negotiations. The RYA has been lobbying to ensure that the inadequacy of the Schengen visa time frames for UK residents who keep their boats in the EU and who wish to cruise in excess of 90 days on Community waters is understood.
At the moment the RYA does not believe there will be any advantage to registering your boat in another EU country. If you decide to register your boat in another country you will then have to comply with that country's legislation. That could entail having that country's evidence of competence (which might involve a test in the country's language), compulsory equipment, requirements to wear lifejackets etc. Free movement for the vessel is linked to the vessel having Union status. As long as it is lying in the EU27 on the day that the UK leaves the EU, based on the Union Customs Code its status should not change as a result of Brexit alone.
We cannot however be sure what will transpire as these are of course just our assumptions, based on our knowledge of the legislation as it currently stands. As we get more information that is reliable we will publish it on the website, in the RYA Newsletters or in the RYA Magazine. A summary of our work to date can be found on the RYA website at www.rya.org.uk/go/brexit and our thoughts on what the situation will be in the event of a no-deal Brexit can be found at https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/current-affairs/Pages/no-deal-Brexit-scenario.aspx.

Both employers and employees have a responsibility to contribute to not only a productive, positive, and comfortable work environment, but also to a safe workplace. Instituting a drug testing program can help to accomplish these outcomes. The following list details the most common reasons employers implement and sustain workplace drug testing programs.
Improve company image. Drug testing can help to boost consumer confidence around product quality, safety, reputation, and employment best practices.
Provide a safe workplace for employees. Implementing a drug testing program can help to reduce on-the-job accidents and crime involving drugs.
Comply with state laws and Federal regulations. Employers are responsible for understanding and adhering to their local and Federal laws. For some safety-sensitive industries, drug testing is a requirement.
Manage healthcare and insurance costs. An enforced drug testing program can aid in avoiding costs related to alcohol and drug-related injuries and illness, while helping to lower worker's compensation exposure.
Improve company morale. Drug testing can help promote a safer work environment, playing a role in fostering a positive corporate culture.
Enhance employee productivity. A drug testing program can help to reduce unscheduled leave, absences, tardiness, and employee turnover.
Deter drug use and rehabilitate employees. Effective drug testing programs can help to deter drug use among employees; further, testing can help to identify those who may need employee assistance or rehabilitation services for a substance use disorder.
Protect employees, customers, and the public. Drug testing protects employees, customers, and the public from employees using drugs; it can also help to keep employees safe from harm and employers safe from liability.
Prevent hiring candidates who use drugs. Pre-employment drug testing helps to prevent hiring individuals who use illicit drugs.
Keep employers and employees educated. A well-run drug testing program provides tools employees need to participate and benefit from a drug-free workplace, as well as information about the physical effects of drug use and the nature of addiction.

Thanksgiving: A time for families to share stories. But will you remember them all?
For many of us, Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends is an annual November tradition. If you are among those fortunate enough to be partaking of a holiday feast this month, take a moment to envision the gathering you'll be attending or hosting. Who will be there? Picture the elders you expect to find yourself among. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, beloved family friends, elderly neighbors. What will they wish to talk about? What stories will be told? What stories will be overlooked?
Maybe you believe you've already heard all your parents' or grandparents' stories. Maybe you know all about them: where they come from, whether their childhoods were fun-filled or difficult, whom they loved, who loved them, what ground – literal and metaphorical – they have covered in the years since.
Or, to pose the fundamental question that I use when I do memoir anthologies with nursing home residents, what were the formative experiences, events or circumstances that made them who they are today?
Maybe they've already told you all about their lives – at other holiday gatherings, or in settings so informal throughout the years that you can't even remember when you heard this story or that story. But could you retell the details of their stories to your own children or grandchildren? Could you explain the connections, nail the chronology, put the pieces together so that it made sense even when told secondhand?
If these questions compel you to grudgingly admit that maybe you haven't listened to or retained the stories of your elders quite as well as you might wish, there's no need to feel bad about it. As I often tell my clients, it's hard to put stories in order, to provide all the context. People may lack the time or patience, whether to tell these stories or to listen to them. Or to remember them.
If you are not sure you could answer the fundamental question of what were your elders' most formative experiences, or if you simply can't remember some of the details along the way – what happened to their own parents, when did they make that trip overseas, what was the long-ago job through which they met their spouse – it may be time to capture the stories more formally. A family memoir is a chance for your older relatives or other loved ones to see their story commemorated on paper, with all the details they wish to share and with photos as well. In the end, in place of semi-remembered anecdotes, they'll have a book to hold in their hands – a compiled story of just what happened when. Of what indeed it was that made them the person they are today. And you'll have that book too.
There are many ways to get this done. An elder person may choose to sit down and write their story out themselves. Or they may want to work with a professional memoirist or personal historian like me, experienced in asking the right questions to tease out all the right details. Some of my clients do a combination: they start by writing out some stories from their lives themselves, and then ask me for help filling in the gaps and missing details.
Can you think of someone in your family who would like to do a memoir project? Thanksgiving and the other upcoming holidays are the perfect time to consider a project like this. I am always delighted for the opportunity to talk about memoirs. Please be in touch at any time if you'd like to talk about a possible project for yourself or for someone in your family or circle of friends.


Each half term pupils study one module from each of the three sciences. The topics covered are identical to the topics pupils will encounter at GCSE but at a lower level of difficulty. Pupils have level ladders in their exercise books that map the content of each unit from KS2 up to GCSE. Therefore a high attaining year seven student could encounter GCSE level material if this was appropriate to his ability. Each module is taught over approximately eight lessons.
Students are assessed formally at the end of each half term with a written test. They will receive an overall level, as well as a breakdown of the marks across the three individual modules.
Each half term pupils study one module from each of the three sciences. The topics covered build on the topics they encountered in year seven. As in year seven, topics are identical to the topics pupils will encounter at GCSE but at a lower level of difficulty. Pupils have level ladders in their exercise books that map the content of each unit from KS2 up to GCSE. Therefore a high attaining year eight student could encounter GCSE level material if this was appropriate to his ability. Each module is taught over approximately eight lessons.
Science in year 9 is taught as Biology Chemistry and Physics. Each subject is taught in a block by a specialist teacher such that each subject is given the same amount of lesson time. The order in which the subjects are taught will vary in each set, so that each set will have a specialist in that subject. Assessment by examination will take place on three occasions in the year.
In Biology topics covered are: keeping healthy, control in the human body, control in plants, the use and abuse of drugs, interdependence and adaptation, energy and biomass in food-chains, waste materials from plants and animals and genetic variation and control.


On October 5, 1962 the world met the most extraordinary gentleman spy in all fiction, James Bond. The film franchise today turned 45 as Dr. No premiered on this date at the London Pavilion Cinema. In attendance was Ian Fleming and his friends including W. Somerset Maugham.
Terence Young, the director, has always stated that James Bond premiered when the world needed him on "exactly the right week of the right month of the right year." As Bond was fighting the villainous Doctor Julius No on screen, attempting the save the world in the Caribbean in a plot involving missiles, the Soviet Union and the Caribbean country of Cuba days later threatened nuclear war in a showdown with the United States known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
45 years later and you have to wonder if anyone involved with Dr. No, including Fleming, would have ever believed that the franchise would still be going strong to this day. And look at Casino Royale. We could very well be at a time where Bond hits another "all-time high". A Bond movie hasn't put up numbers like Casino Royale since 1971 when Roger Moore played Bond for his first time in Live and Let Die. That's pretty damn amazing if you ask me, especially after coming off the Brosnan era and the success he had. Here's to another 45.
hey does anyone know the answers to the young bond Eaton Exam because i only get one wrong and it wont let me pass, I've read the Silverfin book three times and i cant find the answers.

I've been writing (almost) daily for nineteen years of my life, and yet it wasn't until six years ago that I finally buckled down and actually studied plot.
My stance on plot is somewhat unique in that I don't believe a single on of us really needs to be taught about it. The art and science that is telling a story is something we've learned over the course of our lives.
Most of us grew up with bedtime stories, but frankly, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Everything from being a tattle-tale as a child, to spinning a white-lie to escape an undesirable social obligation, to gossiping over wine with friends, to retelling a cherished memory, is storytelling. And the older you are, the more intuitive this is.
And if you're somebody who grew up devouring books and dissecting movies? You're even better off. But the real point here is that storytelling is intuitive. In many ways, it's a basic component of human psychology. So don't overthink what it means to tell a story, craft a compelling narrative, and order it all in an organized, effective way, because YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT ALREADY.
Repeat after me: "I will not overthink plot."
That being said, if your brain is a stagnant quagmire of disoriented thoughts (or conversely, a twister of impossible-to-follow ideas and possibilities), then refreshing yourself on the technicalities of plot can facilitate your efforts in roping in all of those big, shiny story ideas and making sense of them.
Which is why — behold! — I am sharing one of my favorite beat sheet visuals with all of you. It's effective for one and all, whether you're the wide-eyed newbie or the caffeine-addicted seasoned writer. Whenever I feel as though I've got far too many thoughts to cram into a single plot, I refer to this beat sheet.
I hope you find this as helpful as I have!

CORVETTE RACING AT SEBRING: What a Win!
Publicado el 21 marzo, 2022 por ANTONIO GARCÍA
García, Taylor, Catsburg, No. 3 Corvette C8.R take 12th victory in 12 Hours.
SEBRING, Fla. (March 19, 2022) – Corvette Racing made it a dozen victories in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on Saturday, the first victory in America's oldest sports car race for the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8.R.
Antonio García, Jordan Taylor and Nicky Catsburg teamed for the landmark win with the No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Corvette in the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The trio combined to led 247 laps or 913.9 miles for Corvette Racing's first Sebring 12 Hours win since 2017 and 12th since 2002.
It also marks the first win for the GTD PRO-spec Corvette C8.R in its second race as part of the new class. The result goes along with a runner-up GTE Pro finish for Tommy Milner and Nick Tandy in Friday's 1,000 Miles of Sebring for the FIA World Endurance Championship.
«Congratulations to Antonio García, Jordan Taylor, Nicky Catsburg and everyone on the No. 3 Corvette C8.R team,» said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president, Performance and Motorsports. «Winning in class for the 12th time at the 12 Hours of Sebring is the result of great driving, race strategy and execution of pit stops. The Corvette C8.R's 5.5-liter, flat-plane V-8 engine delivered the right combination of performance, reliability and efficiency throughout the race.
"This win is even more special thanks to the support of so many Corvette owners and fans at the track and around the world," Campbell added. "This has been a great weekend with a runner-up class finish in the World Endurance Championship on Friday and now this win in IMSA. I'm proud of everyone at Corvette Racing and our technical partners at Mobil 1 and Michelin.»
The No. 3 Corvette also won the Sebring round of the Michelin Endurance Cup – a championship consisting of Sebring, the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen and Petit Le Mans. Points were awarded at the four-, eight- and 12-hour marks.
Corvette Racing wasted little time going to the front in the race. Garcia set the table from the beginning as he advanced from his third-place starting position to the head of GTD PRO. He passed six cars in his opening two hours before handing off to Taylor for an impressive three-hour run.
Catsburg drove an equally stirring three hours, 18 minutes in the middle of the race. He soldiered through four full-course caution periods and enjoyed a highlight-reel battle with Pfaff Motorsports' Matt Campbell for the GTD PRO lead at the seven-and-a-half-hour mark. The two raced side-by-side for three corners before Catsburg pulled ahead.
That left Taylor to drive one stint before Garcia closed with a triple-stint to score the victory.
Corvette Racing engineers dedicated significant time at a February test to gain a better understanding of the performance and degradation levels of the GTD Michelin tires, which are different than what the team has used in past seasons. That combined with more than 51,000 racing miles across the familiar bumps around the 3.7-mile, 17-turn Sebring circuit was the right combination.
Corvette Racing's next event in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is April 8-9 at the Long Beach (Calif.) street circuit.
ANTONIO GARCÍA, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – GTD PRO WINNER: "We had to carry on after Daytona and do all we can. There we didn't have the pace and little issues we had put us back and out of contention. The main thing here was to stay up front, don't make any mistakes and have no failures that would set us back. That was the first goal. I was the first guy surprised about our pace. We started seventh and slowly started to make our way through. I wasn't expecting to be leading after the first stop. I thought our car was the best during the day and when it was as warm as possible. I was a little bit afraid of the rest of the field at night. It seemed like everything was switching on for them, the track would go toward them and maybe all the advantage we had went away a little bit. It was up to us to control the pace and keep the gap. If we had been in a situation to catch another car, it would have been difficult. It was perfectly executed by everyone at Corvette Racing, good strategy and amazing drives by Jordan and Nicky."
ON 12TH WIN FOR CORVETTE RACING AT SEBRING: "It's amazing. I said before the race that whenever you come to Sebring in a Corvette, it is always a good feeling. You know something good is going to happen. In the end and having the pace or not having pace, there is still a Corvette factor. It's the best team to be on when you race here. I'm very happy with that."
JORDAN TAYLOR, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – GTD PRO WINNER: "Daytona was frustrating for us. We lacked pace there and had a mechanical issue in the middle of the night. We learned a lot after that and used it as a test session. That really helped us here. Zero issues around here is a big feat in itself. Twelve hours at Sebring is tougher than 24 at Daytona or Le Mans. It's a big accomplishment for the team. We won Daytona and the championship last year, so it's nice to get another major endurance race for the C8.R and start our championship fight again."
HOLDING THE LEAD THROUGHOUT: "I was surprised how quick we were. I think we were quick in clean air. If we had been stuck behind guys, it would have been difficult for us to get ahead. Once we got to the front, the name of the game was to maintain our track position whether it be saving fuel and extending windows or saving tires. The guys nailed the strategy and kept us out front all day. That's what really won us the race."
IMPORTANCE OF FEBRUARY TIRE TEST: "That was big for us. If we showed up here with no test time or setup and development for this track, we would have been out to lunch. Two days here of testing with the guys doing the development and going back and doing their homework really made our weekend."
NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – GTD PRO WINNER: "Daytona is a lot about going in a straight line on the banking. This was difficult for us. Sebring was always going to be a bit easier. At the start of the weekend, we really struggled. We got a little break which definitely helped us and brought us back into contention, but it wasn't easy. Not at all… definitely not. I was struggling on the tires in the middle of the race. It was tough. You never know where you really are until the race. In practice, you don't know what people are doing in terms of fuel loads, qualifying runs or race runs. It's difficult to say how much we picked up."
GETTING THE CORVETTE BACK UP FRONT MID-RACE: "We stuck to our initial plan. We didn't try anything too crazy. The Lexus and Porsche were going out of sequence but we always stuck to our original plan. It worked out well."
IMPORTANCE OF FEBRUARY TIRE TEST: "That was huge. It was a huge role. We are still quite new to this tire and to this class. The team had two really good days here. They learned a lot and turned the car around. If we hadn't done that, we would have had to do it here this week and we probably wouldn't have won the race. It made a lot of sense."

For some, a charmed existence is a farmhouse in a rolling pastoral with kids. For others, it may be an airy, industrial live-work loft on Broadway in Manhattan for a creative husband-and-wife (or better put, wife-and-husband) team. The latter is Isabel and Rubén Toledo's life. They have four floors; one is Rubén's painting studio, and the other three are for Isabel's fashion design studio and production. More importantly, they collaborate and they're passionately in love, gently finishing each others' sentences on a recent episode of Studio 360.* This is the kind of love story that makes my heart ache.

AbstractBackground.Patients with cancer have a high use of health care utilization at the end of life, which can frequently involve admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU). We sought to evaluate the predictors for outcome in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer admitted to the ICU for nonsurgical conditions.Patients and Methods.The primary objective was to determine the predictors of hospital mortality. Secondary objectives included investigating the predictors of ICU mortality and hospital overall survival (OS). All patients with GI cancer admitted to the ICU at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center between November 2012 and February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Cancer characteristics, treatment characteristics, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores were analyzed for their effects on survival.Results.The characteristics of the 200 patients were as follows: 64.5% male, mean age of 60 years, median SOFA score of 6.7, and tumor types of intestinal (37.5%), hepatobiliary/pancreatic (36%), and gastroesophageal (24%). The hospital mortality was 41%, and overall 6‐month mortality was 75%. In multivariate analysis, high admission SOFA score > 5, poor tumor differentiation, and duration of metastatic disease ≤7 months were associated with increased hospital mortality. For OS, high admission SOFA score > 5, poor tumor differentiation, and patients who were not on active chemotherapy because of poor performance had worse outcome. In multivariate analysis, SOFA score remained significant for OS even after excluding patients who died in the ICU.Conclusion.For patients with metastatic GI cancer admitted to the ICU, SOFA score was predictive for both acute and long‐term survival. A patient's chemotherapy treatment status was not predictive for hospital mortality but was for OS. The SOFA score should be utilized in all patients with GI cancer upon ICU admission for prognostication.Implications for Practice.Patients with cancer have a high use of health care utilization at the end of life, which can frequently involve admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU). Although there have been substantial increases in duration of survival for patients with advanced metastatic cancer, their mortality after an ICU admission remains high. GI malignancy is considered one of the top three lethal cancers estimated in 2017. Survival of critically ill patients with advanced GI cancer should be evaluated to help guide treatment planning.

UK MoD for April 5, 2017 – April 6, 2017
Wednesday 5 April – Typhoons supported Syrian Democratic Forces west of Raqqa, while Tornados assisted Iraqi troops both in Mosul and the western deserts of Iraq…
The RAF is continuing to support Iraqi forces in their effort to liberate western Mosul. While the operating environment in the city is very challenging, particularly given the closely-packed buildings, very narrow streets, and the density of the urban population, our aircrew have continued to deliver precision strikes in close support of Iraqi troops on the ground. Daesh's current tactics, including the illegal use of civilians as human shields, and fighting from sites such as schools, hospitals, religious sites and civilian neighbourhoods, increases the risk to innocent life. While no military operations come without risk, particularly in dense urban environments and against such inhuman Daesh tactics, the RAF continues to take all steps necessary to minimise civilian causalities.
Royal Air Force Typhoons provided close air support to Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Wednesday 5 April, as they consolidated their hold on the huge Tabqah Dam, recently seized from Daesh's control, to the west of Raqqa. Daesh had tried, in their desperation, to counter-attack with suicide truck-bombs, so the Typhoons conducted an air strike to cut the approach road to the SDF positions and make any further truck-bomb attacks much more difficult. Given attempts by both Daesh and Russia to claim falsely that Coalition air attacks have been directed at the dam itself, it is important to emphasise that the Typhoons' target was two miles to the south-east and posed no threat whatsoever to the dam's structural integrity. A pair of Tornados meanwhile supported the Iraqi forces driving Daesh out of western Mosul, and used a Paveway IV guided bomb to engage a mortar position. The Tornados then flew down to Iraq's western desert, where other Iraqi troops were operating against Daesh to the south of Al Qaim. A Brimstone missile was used to destroy a motorcycle combination carrying three terrorists at speed over the desert and a second Brimstone eliminated a light machine-gun position.
