Founded in 2000, Sacred Heart University's Graduate Occupational Therapy Program was the first in Connecticut to meet the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education's (ACOTE) requirement that all entry-level occupational therapy education programs award a post baccalaureate degree. The occupational therapy program is housed within the College of Health Professions along with physical therapy, speech-language pathology, athletic training, exercise science, healthcare informatics, and physician assistant studies graduate programs.
Sacred Heart University is Connecticut's only university that offers educational programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology; the three core rehabilitation professions considered critical to restoration of patient's functioning. Occupational Therapy participates with the other College of Health Profession's programs and the College of Nursing to provide students with distinctive interprofessional learning opportunities that replicate the treatment team. Located just 55 miles from New York City in beautiful Connecticut, the area offers a wide variety of clinical and employment opportunities as well as exceptional recreational and cultural activities.
The College of Health Professions and College of Nursing are located in the new Center for Healthcare Education building. The new building includes state-of-the art laboratories such as occupational therapy sensory integration and pediatric laboratory, a fully-equipped home suite inclusive of a room-to-room lift tracking system, a Drive Safety driving simulator, a human cadaver laboratory, an audiology laboratory, simulation laboratories replicating hospital and ambulatory care settings, a motion analysis laboratory, a musculoskeletal laboratory, and a human performance laboratory. The building also includes a flexibly designed team-based learning auditorium allowing for a traditional auditorium audience with the capability to instantly transform and create eleven, collaborative work group tables, each with its own LCD monitor.
Our superb faculty include authors, recognized scholars, advocates, and expert practitioners. Year after year, program evaluation results identify faculty excellence, availability, and relationships with students as our most outstanding outcome. Sacred Heart University graduates perform extremely well on the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy exam. Also see Outcomes and Assessments.
Sacred Heart University's Graduate Occupational Therapy Program leading to the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) is fully accredited through 2026/2027 under "The Standards for an Accredited Educational Therapy Program for the Occupational Therapist - 2011" by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449, telephone c/o AOTA (301)-652-AOTA (2682).
The program is responsible for complying with all ACOTE accreditation standards and policies and interacting with ACOTE with integrity and honesty. The program will inform ACOTE of all major changes in curriculum, site locations, online/onsite formats, and the program director in a timely manner. The program will honestly and accurately represent the program and its ACOTE accreditation status in all its publications and web page available to the public.

Why a Masters in Occupational Therapy at SHU?
advance the science of occupational therapy.
Sacred Heart University, located in Fairfield, Connecticut, offers an entry-level, master's degree program in occupational therapy (MSOT). This graduate program is for people with a bachelor's degree in a field other than occupational therapy. The program prepares students to master entry-level clinical practice skills and develop beginning-level skills in leadership and scholarship in occupational therapy.
The curriculum design is highly unique, utilizing a developmental approach and strongly reflecting a philosophy of humanism, service to others, and community-based practice.
The program allows students to develop their skills in a progressive sequence throughout the curriculum under the guidance of experienced faculty and practitioners.
The curriculum utilizes problem-based learning (PBL), incorporating small group tutorials led by expert faculty members, designed to bridge course content with practice by having students actively engage in the clinical reasoning process through case studies.
Students are provided with a strong educational background to address the spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of their clients to design occupation-based interventions that enable clients to participate in their own work, school, play, home, society, and community lives.
The curriculum incorporates fieldwork, community-based practice, and service learning opportunities where students actively use clinical reasoning in the design of assessment and intervention strategies based on evidence, leadership, supervision and management, research and entrepreneurship.
The program actively prepares students to develop proactive and entrepreneurial skills in marketing occupational therapy services and program development in new practice areas. Faculty/student/practitioner collaborations and mentorships are structured into the program to facilitate this unique undertaking.
Faculty pursue continued development in evidence-based, engaged, team-based, and digital pedagogies, which they have implemented throughout the curriculum.
The faculty systematically seek students' feedback about the program and tracks student learning outcomes through graduation. For information on progression, retention, graduation rates, please visit our Outcomes and Assessment data.
Throughout the program's growth, the faculty have maintained their commitment to the mission of creating an intimate and engaging culture. This has been accomplished through the use of faculty-student ratios appropriate to the teaching/learning strategies in each course, regular student advisement, mentored small group work, an open door policy regarding office hours, and faculty availability outside the classroom.
Faculty embrace the College of Health Professions' commitment to interprofessional education and collaborate with the other College of Health Professions' programs in Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Physician Assistant Studies, Athletic Training, Exercise Science, Health Science and Healthcare Informatics, as well as the College of Nursing and the Social Work Programs, to involve students in interprofessional education activities.
The program lives its mission and belief that learning emerges from interactions among students, faculty, and staff. Program outcomes indicate that student-faculty relationships and available and excellence of faculty are consistently its most outstanding outcomes.
For information on our NBCOT pass rates, visit the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) program data results.
The program is responsible for complying with all ACOTE accreditation standards and policies and interacting with ACOTE with integrity and honesty. The program will inform ACOTE of all major changes in curriculum, site locations, online/on-site formats, and the program director in a timely manner. The program will honestly and accurately represent the program and its ACOTE accreditation status in all its publications and web page available to the public.
Students must complete all fieldwork requirements within 24 month of completion of the didactic portion of the program. Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). Most states, including Connecticut, require licensure in order to practice; however, most initial state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification examination.
Please note that a felony conviction might affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT exam and/or attain state licensure.
The NBCOT Board of Directors has approved the implementation of background checks as part of the exam process. This enhancement offers the unique opportunity to apply a national standard to all entry-level practitioners in support of NBCOT's mission of public protection.
Background checks will be completed as part of the exam application process for all first-time applicants beginning January 1, 2018. Candidates reapplying for the exam will not be subject to a background check. There is no change to the application fee as a result of this addition. The 2018 exam application fee will remain $515 for online applications and $555 for paper applications.
The NBCOT character review will continue to be guided by the character questions found on page 8 of the Certification Exam Handbook. Additional review will be conducted only when an incident results in an affirmative answer to one or more character questions.
Similarly, a conviction of misdemeanor petit theft (that did not involve harm to another) with negative responses to all character questions would not be reviewed. However, if the candidate was suspended or expelled from their college or university due to the incident (character question #4), a review will be required.
If you have questions regarding the expanded background check program, contact professional.conduct@nbcot.org.
Applications from individuals who have been convicted of serious crimes will not be accepted for initial certification or certification renewal. The specific list of serious crimes that presumptively disqualify an individual for certification or certification renewal may be found on NBCOT's webpage.
Occupational Therapists are required to hold a CT State License to practice in the state. Sacred Heart University's Graduate Occupational Therapy program meets Connecticut's occupational therapy licensure eligibility requirements permitting graduates to apply for a licensure in the state.
Recent graduates of occupational therapy programs are eligible for a temporary permit to practice under supervision.
All 50 states and the jurisdictions of Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico have licensure laws for occupational therapists. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) website provides links to state regulations regarding qualifications and licensure, continuing competency requirements, regulations, supervision, and telehealth.
NBCOT offers an interactive US map with links to each state's OT State Regulatory Board Contact List and AOTA links to each state's licensure requirements.
AOTA provides a list of the states that offer temporary licensure to graduates from ACOTE accredited programs who have not yet passed the NBCOT exam.
AOTA's Student Guide to Registration and Licensure offers a self-directed "tour" for graduates seeking information on the NBCOT exam and obtaining state licensure.
Sacred Heart University has been approved by Connecticut to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of post-secondary distance education.
A group of Sacred Heart University occupational therapy (OT) and nursing students and faculty recently participated in a week-long service learning program at the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation in La Plant, S.D., an area with a population of 171 people.
Please join the Occupational Therapy Graduate Program Students, Faculty and Staff for their Annual Capstone Poster Presentation on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 in the Martire Forum from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.

This is a quick guide for getting setup and started for development work on the UIO Wordpress Plugin.
The quickest way to setup a development environment is to make use of a Vagrant VM. FLUID-6095 defines a task for setting up an automated vagrant environment, and includes a tar file that can be used for this in the interim.
Unpack the qi-wordpress.tar.gz into the preferred location on the host machine. This will create a directory call "wordpress". The contents of this directory will be automatically synced to the VM when it is running. To launch the vagrant VM, run vagrant up from within the wordpress directory. This will start the VM and launch the Wordpress instance.
Once Wordpress has started, open localhost:10080/wp-adim in your browser. On the first time running Wordpress this will show its configuration wizard. Select your preferred language and create an admin user. You'll need this information for logging into Wordpress later. If through the configuration process you are asked for database information, just accept the defaults.
You'll need to clone the uio-wordpress-plugin repo into the Wordpress' plugin directory. This will allow you to work on the plugin while it is deployed to the Wordpress instance.
Now that the plugin repo has been cloned into the plugins directory, you'll need to activate the plugin. Open localhost:10080/wp-admin in your browser. From the Dashboard, open the Plugins page. You should see a plugin called "User Interface Options", ensure that it is activated.
The uio-wordpress-plugin is essentially a WP plugin wrapper around Infusion's UI Options component. The basic parts of the plugin will be discussed below, but it may be useful to familiarize yourself with both the wp plugin and UI Options documentation.
lib/infusion contains the Infusion code and resources. The specific version information is located in the Version.md file. In general the contents of this directory should only be modified if you are updating the version of Infusion distributed with the plugin.
This is the main plugin and is used by Wordpress to identify the plugin. The information about the plugin is contained in a header comment at the top of the file. This information is used to display the plugin information on the Wordpress Admin's Plugin page. Additionally global variables for UIO_PLUGIN_URL and UIO_PLUGIN_DIR are set here, and logic for determining which other php scripts to run.
Provides the configuration for adding a settings panel to the Wordpress admin interface for the UI Options plugin.
Sets the default values for the settings that can be modified on the plugins settings page.
uio.js will be injected into each page of the Wordpress site, and contains the initialization code for running UI options. This includes injecting the templates for UI Options itself and for the Table of Contents (ToC) widget.
template.html contains the HTML required by UI Options. The template is injected into the page, and used as the container for rendering UI Options into.

One Summer
America, 1927
by Bill Bryson
In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day (and slept much of the rest of the time), a semi-crazed sculptor with a mad plan to carve four giant heads into an inaccessible mountain called Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who started the summer wholly unknown and finished it as the most famous man on earth. (So famous that Minnesota considered renaming itself after him.)
It was the summer that saw the birth of talking pictures, the invention of television, the peak of Al Capone's reign of terror, the horrifying bombing of a school in Michigan by a madman, the ill-conceived decision that led to the Great Depression, the thrillingly improbable return to greatness of a wheezing, over-the-hill baseball player named Babe Ruth, and an almost impossible amount more.
In this hugely entertaining book, Bill Bryson spins a story of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and delirious energy. With the trademark brio, wit and authority that have made him Britain's favourite writer of narrative non-fiction, he rolls out an unforgettable cast of vivid and eccentric personalities to bring to life a forgotten summer when America came of age, took centre stage and changed the world for ever.
Bill Bryson's bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent and Notes from a Small Island, which in a national poll was voted the book that best represents Britain. Another travel book, A Walk in the Woods, has become a major film starring Robert Redford, Nick Nolte and Emma Thompson. His new number one Sunday Times bestseller is The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes from a Small Island.
His acclaimed book on the history of science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Royal Society's Aventis Prize as well as the Descartes Prize, the European Union's highest literary award. He has written books on language, on Shakespeare, on history, and on his own childhood in the hilarious memoir The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. His last critically lauded bestsellers were At Home: a Short History of Private Life, and One Summer: America 1927
Bill Bryson was born in the American Midwest, and now lives in the UK. A former Chancellor of Durham University, he was President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England for five years, and is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society.

I love three-year-olds, they are one of my favorite ages to teach. These St. Patrick's Day activities for 3-year-olds can easily work for older and even some younger children, but I know they are great activities for 3-year-olds. The themes that I have found work the best for this age group and this holiday are hunting for gold, treasure, and of course, finding magic four-leaf clovers. While I enjoy going deeper into the life of St.Patrick with older kids, I think of these activities as an introduction to the day and its more visual symbols like shamrocks, rainbows, and lucky gold!

Boiled Goat, Warm Beer and Mortar Bombs: Justin Marozzi in Mogadishu
From Miami to Mogadishu; from blues skies, pastel perfection, grilled red snapper, key lime pie and margaritas to blue skies, a bombed-out cityscape, warm beer and boiled goat (the main dish in 'the Dish').
From Miami to Mogadishu; from blues skies, pastel perfection, grilled red snapper, key lime pie and margaritas to blue skies, a bombed-out cityscape, warm beer and boiled goat (the main dish in 'the Dish'). No question Mogadishu could use a lick of paint and a spot of rebuilding. I drive through it in the back of a Casspir, a landmine-resistant armoured personnel carrier belonging to the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom). This place makes Kabul look like Manhattan. Clan-based warfare has ripped Somalia apart for most of the past 20 years. Twenty per cent of under-fives suffer from acute malnutrition — 15 per cent constitutes an emergency, by international standards. Half the population requires humanitarian assistance. Life expectancy hovers around 50 to 55 years. A jihadist insurgency now threatens to make Somalia the sun-kissed destination of choice for al-Qa'eda. One day, they might get over all this. In the 1970s, it was tourists, not deluded Muslims, making a beeline for the sensational coastline, the longest in East Africa. I have been camped a few hundred yards from it all week, in a sand-filled tent just off a runway. The swimming is much better than Palm Beach.
If anyone is a victim of textual harassment at work, it would have to be Major Bo-Hoku Barigye, the charismatic Ugandan spokesman for Amisom. He reckons he has received 900 abusive text messages from Al Shebab, the local terrorists in this neck of the woods, in the past two months alone. Most threaten to kill him. What strikes one most about these texts, however, is not how chilling they are but how infantile. Take this one as evidence of the intellectual sophistication of these would-be world-conquering jihadists: 'I am member Shebab fuck your marther now I will make suicide know or not fucking why do troops make genocide do what do want one day we will in hand of Shebab and we will give unforgettable lesson which will remain fresh in your mind guy guy fuck you answer.' Less time on the Koran, boys, and more with a good English lexicon.
The first anniversary ceremony of the transitional federal government under its bespectacled leader President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is a noisy affair. First of all we have music from a military band, followed by songs and dancing, a series of poetry readings and exuberant sketches in the heart of Villa Somalia, the presidential compound built by the Italians when they were running the place. Then in come the mortars with a terrific bang. They land extremely close, killing two and wounding several others. No one among the president's entourage even flinches. The show must go on. Even louder is the admirably robust response from the tank strategically parked outside.
In Nairobi, en route to Mog, I spent an evening smoking shisha with Waayaha Cusub, a group of Kenya-based Somali rappers. Our Yemeni hosts were whacked out chewing qat. Like most Somalis, the band has had enough of the nihilistic airheads of 'Al Kebab'. Their latest single is called 'No to Al Shebab'. I launched the new single in Mogadishu in a private screening with the president. In the video, shot in Somali, Swahili and English, the band hip-hop about in burnt-out buildings amid shots of terrorists on the rampage. 'We need justice and hope in order to cope, they might hang me on a rope, but I won't stop telling the truth,' raps a goatee-bearded bruiser. The president, a mild-mannered former teacher whom I suspect is not a natural rapper, is intrigued and bemused. What does he make of it? 'I think it will attract a lot of the youth and it is a powerful message against Al Shebab,' he says. Check them out on YouTube.
Lest we be too gloomy about all the media reports out of Mogadishu — much of it sensationalised, it has to be said — Sheikh Ahmed Mursal Adam is a living reproof to the idea that Somalia is only war, bloodshed and piracy. The henna-bearded 75-year-old, who has lived through one Italian administration and seven Somali presidents, rejoices in the title of 'Head of Presidential Gardens'. In the course of a long life tending to the presidents' roses, he has evidently found time to romance the ladies. Indeed, he has had 27 wives and counts 200 children and grandchildren among his descendants. I wonder what Hillary Clinton, the Islamist president's New BF, would make of that.
Al Shebab may be morons, but the world will pay a high price if it ignores the mounting Islamist threat in the Horn of Africa. This is a battle of wills. Al-Qa'eda is providing men and money to the jihadi cause, yet Amisom is dangerously under-resourced and the United Nations won't be deploying anytime soon, according to Ban Ki-Moon. The international community needs to show steel and commitment. The fledgling government and Amisom must be reinforced before the beardies become less manageable. A Somali government adviser in Nairobi has a stark warning. 'I think if we stay on this same trajectory, we'll end up with the worst fundamentalist, oppressive state in Africa, if not the world. The Islamists will win hands down.' Is the world listening? It is time to kebab Al Shebab.

30th Anniversary Giving
In the mid 1980's, a group of performing arts enthusiasts established an organization with an undeniably exciting dream – a dream to embolden the revitalization of downtown Greenville, and the arts, by creating a cultural hub where people of all ages, incomes, and interests would be welcome to gather, and experience the creative world. With their leadership and a $10 million pledge of support from the Peace family, the organization set out to make this dream a reality.
Situated along the Reedy River, at the heart of the city, stood what remained of Greenville's once-booming industrial complex: a long-abandoned coach factory, textile plant, mayonnaise factory, and turn-of-the-century retail store. Drawing on a shared desire to see Greenville flourish, the organization strategically selected this centrally located property and restored some of the 19th-century buildings it housed, incorporating them into their master plans – which included the construction of the Peace Concert Hall and Gunter Theatre.
Soon enough, the organization raised the $42 million needed to bring their plans to life – and worked to anchor what would become Greenville's epicenter for entertainment, arts, culture, and education. In November of 1990, construction was complete, and the Peace Center stood as an architectural homage to the people and history of Greenville.
The Peace Center grew and changed in step with the world around it and its impact on Greenville's downtown revitalization is well documented. The streets that were once marred by abandoned buildings were beginning to fill with retail, hotels, award-winning restaurants, art galleries, and people. Through the decades, the Peace Center has entertained millions while supporting Greenville's status as a sought destination.
In 2010, the Peace Center embarked on a $21.5 million capital campaign, the first since its inception, that would amplify its mission. The renovation was completed in 2012 allowing the Peace Center to better serve the community with an expanded Peace Concert Hall lobby, the addition of Genevieve's, Ramsaur Studio, the Huguenot Mill Loft, and an airy outdoor amphitheater, TD Stage. Continuous improvements have bolstered the Peace Center's presence in the community and set a firm foundation for the future.
Today, as the vibrant city of Greenville thrives around it, the Peace Center continues to thrive, too. And as an ever-growing center for culture in the Upstate, we're proud to invite new people to experience the arts in new ways every day. Just as our founders wanted.

Easily the biggest sports scandal of recent times, the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong was bound to attract attention from the filmmaking community. There are currently three biopics on the disgraced cyclist in development, but first up is The Armstrong Lie. Directed by prolific documentarian Alex Gibney, the film examines both the how and the why of Armstrong's contemptible actions.
What's it about? In 2009, Gibney was hired to direct a film chronicling Lance Armstrong's return to cycling. After the doping scandal erupted and his subject was stripped of his seven Tour de France medals, the project was shelved and only re-opened after Armstrong's confession. Beginning with the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, The Armstrong Lie presents us with an intimate unravelling of the truth from Lance and other's perspectives.
Verdict: Even though our eyes have since been opened, The Armstrong Lie is a fresh and fascinating depiction of Armstrong's fall from grace. With much of the documentary featuring footage focusing on the 2009 Tour de France, we get a unique behind-the-scenes look at Armstrong's preparation in the lead-up to the event. It's easy to see why there was a time when he was one to root for; a fiercely competitive athlete who beat cancer and returned to compete in one of the world's toughest sports, it's a story many wanted to believe. As Gibney fittingly states, "people loved the beautiful lie more than the ugly truth".
Unsurprisingly there is no shortage of talking heads eager to speak their minds. Gibney's film does a magnificent job of illustrating the power that Armstrong wielded, with former teammates and journalists all granted an appropriate amount of screen time. This, combined with the well-explained science of doping and unearthed footage, help paint a complete and compelling picture of the history of drugs in cycling and how prevalent they are today. An interview with notorious Armstrong collaborator Dr. Michele Ferrari proves to be particularly enlightening, showing just how far the former champion would go to emerge victorious.
Additionally, the fact that the movie was originally going to be a puff piece – Gibney has since revealed that the original 2009 picture was complete with a Matt Damon narration – gives it an interesting perspective. Throughout the film we can feel the director's resentment at having been lied to by team Armstrong.
Final Words: The money raised from Armstrong's cancer charity Livestrong appears to have been skirted over, but otherwise The Armstrong Lie is as candid and comprehensive a documentary you'll see on the disgraced cyclist.
The Armstrong Lie is at the London Film Festival on 16 & 17 October 2013 and opens in UK cinemas on 31 January 2014.

they are not nice . but the location is very great.
everthing is not 5 stars. please look better its like a 4/3 stars no more.
The room was quite big. Location is good.
Hotel was a little bit old so that wall and floor were not clean( I saw some stains on floor and on walls) Hotel's stuff was kind but as considering it's 5 star hotel, it's a bit over rated. The price is too high for the room's quality in my opinion.

Deportees arrive at the Monsignor Romero international airport in San Salvador.
When that knock comes at the door of an undocumented person, it's too late to start making a plan.
"You will leave here basically with only what's on your back," Susan Cruz explains to families fearing deportation.
Cruz was born in El Salvador and founded Sin Fronteras, a non-profit that helps young immigrants in conflict with the law. US immigration agents in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina this week launched a campaign to detain and deport a number of undocumented immigrants..
About 120 individuals have been deported so far — many of them women and children.
Cruz encourages the undocumented to take three simple steps — and to take them now.
Find someone you trust to make decisions for you in case you are detained or deported. Usually this is a family member.
Put your choice in writing so that Child Protective Services or a court can talk to someone regarding your children's future in your absence. Have the letter notarized with the chosen guardian present. Ultimately the family court judge will make a decision regardless of what the document says, but a letter will make it easier for social workers to identify an individual they can consult with about the welfare of children involved.
Assemble copies or originals of documents including passports, school IDs, birth certificates and put these papers in an envelope or folder in an easily accessible place, like a kitchen drawer.
"If and when somebody shows up to the home to notify children that their parent has been detained by immigration or that something has happened to their parent, the child can just pull this envelope out and hand it over to the police or to the social worker that arrives to the home," Cruz says.
Cruz also suggest this resource for creating a Family Safety Plan.

Home Blogs Awards And Rewards
Blog by Vincent Van Ross
The Bollywood hero of yesteryears Dharmendra who churned out so may blockbusters for the box office never got any award during his career. Finally, when it came, it came in the form of a lifetime achievement award. It was Shah Rukh Khan who had the good fortune to announce it on stage.
What transpired on the stage after that has left an indelible impression on my mind. Shah Rukh Khan said that it was one of the greatest moments in his life to announce this award for Dharmendra whom he addressed as 'Dharam Paaji.'
Then Shah Rukh Khan went on to narrate an instance from his own life. He said that when he entered the cine world, he had no godfathers there. He was a fresher from the small screen who dominated a popular TV serial called 'Fauji.'
One day, as Shah Rukh was stepping out of the studio, Dharmendra ran into him. Dharmendra placed his hands on Shah Rukh Khan's shoulders and assured him that if anybody bothered him in the film industry he could go to Dharmendra and that Dharmendra would sort out the matter for him
Shah Rukh Khan in his characteristic style confessed that the need never arose but Dharmendra's gesture was reassuring for him.
When Dharmendra was asked to speak a few words on that occasion, he was overwhelmed. He said that 'he had never won an award during his career and so the lifetime achievement award meant a lot to him,' his voice choked with emotion and his eyes brimming with tears of joy.
He said that after the annual film awards function each year, his fans would pull up near his car which used to be self-driven and ask him why he did not get the award when he had given such a sterling performance in such and such film. At first, he felt embarrassed and did not know how to respond.
Then, one day, the answer to this came naturally to him. When he was accosted with the same question next time, he responded: 'Kya karen hamey tho award lena hee nahin aatha.' The translation of his response means that 'he did not know how to get the awards!'
In his own subtle way, Dharmendra communicated to the world as to how awards are managed! That was a great learning experience for me!

Salim Khan Feels 'Amitabh Bachchan Should Retire Now'
In an interview, the popular writer gave his own example, and said he feels Amitabh Bachchan should exit the industry at the right time.
Salim Khan feels Amitabh Bachchan should 'free himself from the rat race'. -
Updated: 14 Oct 2021 6:23 pm
Salim Khan, popular screenwriter, and one half of the script writing duo Salim-Javed feels that Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, should probably retire from acting because he feels that "there are no stories for an actor like Amitabh now".
"Amitabh Bachchan should retire now. He has achieved all that he had to in this life. One should keep a few years of life for oneself as well. Amitabh Bachchan has played a brilliant innings professionally. He has done good work so he must free himself from the race. He must take a graceful retirement," he said in an interview.
"Amitabh Bachchan was the hero who could play an angry young man, he still is. However, there are no stories for an actor like Amitabh now. Our films have improved technically, the music and action have improved but we do not have good scripts," Khan added.
While Big B has never talked about retiring, he had once hinted thinking about it in 2019 via social media.
"Another new environment and another readjustment to room and its accoutrements.. I must retire.. the head is thinking something else and the fingers another.. it's a message," he had written.

Nuclear Power is Sooooo Expensive !!
So goes the Urban Myth.
What do we want? - Electricity !
And how many Dorenells = 1 Hinkley?
1 Hinkley costs: £24.5bn !
What size would 108 Dorenells be?
It would be a [108 x 15.5 =] 1,674 sq km Wind Farm !
But Hinkley's site is only 0.87 km wide x 0.87 km long.
if it were only 0.87 km wide?
It would be: [1,674 ÷ 0.87 =] 1900 km long !
"..I just love the sight of those majestic Wind Turbines.."

Year 10 is also special for Gymnasium pupils, as it is the end of the first stage of secondary school, while at the same time containing many elements of Years 11 and 12. In the second semester there are mandatory centralised tests in German, Maths and English, which carry double weighting.
Selecting School Type ~
All pupils who join the DSL without being streamed into Hauptschule, Realschule or Gymnasium are streamed by the school at the end of Year 8 at the latest.
From Year 5 onwards the teachers need to be in close contact with pupils' parents to ensure the timely exchange of information and advice on development, performance and further schooling. This contact between the school and parents is even more critical if the family is about to move to a different country, entailing the search for a school which suits the child. Twice a year (usually in November and April) the staff who teach Years 5-7 meet to discuss the pupils' development. The results are promptly communicated to the parents of those children where there is a need for consultation.
At the end of each year the class conference will decide which type of schooling best suits the individual child. Decisions are based on the following criteria:
Performance and development, especially in core subjects with a higher proportion of lessons;
The capacity for abstract thought and reflection;
Linguistic expression;
Perserverance and effort during lessons and homework;
Interest and commitment shown in practical skills during lessons and possibly extra-curricular activities.
All parents receive a recommendation as to whether Gymnasium, Realschule or Hauptschule best suits their child, following a streaming conference in the second half year for Years 5, 6 and 7.
Parents who do not agree with the streaming may object in writing. If there is an objection a child streamed into the Realschule will continue in the Gymnasium, and a child streamed into the Hauptschule will continue in the Realschule, for the following academic year.
The class conference makes a definitive binding decision at the end of Year 8.
In accordance with the principle of being as versatile as possible following the orientation stage in Year 5, transitions may be proposed by the school until the end of Year 8, generally at the end of the academic year.
Changing school type ~
Extract from the DSL's policy about pupils moving up to the next year, or being held back at the end of the academic year:
In order to be as flexible as possible after the orientation stage, the school may propose that pupils change school type until the end of Year 8, generally at the end of each academic year.
Transition from Realschule to Gymnasium
A Realschule pupil can change to Gymnasium until the end of Year 8, if the class teachers' meeting comes to the conclusion that the pupil can do so successfully.
This may be taken as a given when:
the pupil has obtained an average mark of at least 3.0 in all the relevant subjects at Realschule
and the pupil has obtained a mark higher than 3.0 in German, Maths and English, with no unsatisfactory or fail marks in these subjects.
The decision is based primarily on the individual and their general academic development. Furthermore it is not calculated schematically, but is made on the basis of a collective academic pedagogical assessment (cf. 5.3 and 6.6).
Transition from Hauptschule to Realschule:
A pupil may change from Hauptschule to Realschule until the end of Year 8, if the class teachers' meeting comes to the conclusion that the pupil can do so successfully.
the pupil has obtained an average mark of at least 3.0 in all the relevant subjects at Hauptschule
The decision is based primarily on the individual and their general academic development. Furthermore it is not calculated schematically, but is made on the basis of a collective academic pedagogical assessment.
Transition from Gymnasium to Realschule and transition from Realschule to Hauptschule after Year 7
Parents or legal guardians may apply for transition from Gymnasium to Realschule, or from Realschule to Hauptschule, as the case may be. The following rules apply:

Higher & Standard level FAQ's


PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) was the first procedure performed using the excimer laser. It corrects vision by reshaping the cornea. The difference between LASIK and PRK is that with LASIK, a corneal flap is created and the laser is applied to the inner tissue of the cornea. With PRK, the epithelium (or outer skin of the cornea) is removed and a laser is applied to the surface of the cornea.
PRK can be used to correct low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Both LASIK and PRK use an excimer laser to reshape your cornea (the outer surface of your eye), allowing light to focus properly. With LASIK, our ophthalmologists will create a thin flap in your cornea so that the laser can reshape the tissue underneath. PRK does not require the creation of a flap. Instead, our ophthalmologists will use a laser to reshape the surface of your cornea. The healing time for PRK is slightly longer than for LASIK, but both procedures can achieve excellent vision correction results.
While LASIK is an excellent way to improve the quality of your vision, the procedure is not for everyone. If your corneas are too thin or your pupils are too large, it may rule you out as a candidate for LASIK. However, these factors do not impact your candidacy for PRK, making it an excellent alternative. The best way to find out if PRK is the right option for you is to schedule a consultation at our Northeastern Pennsylvania ophthalmology office.
Our doctors will administer a mild sedative and topical anesthetic prior to your procedure to minimize any discomfort. At most, you may experience a slight pressure on your eyes during your PRK procedure. It is common to experience some scratchiness during the recovery process. PRK has been approved by the FDA for use in vision correction procedures since 1995. The procedure is very safe, and complications are extremely rare.
There are several factors which may rule you out as a candidate for PRK. Patients with certain conditions such as vascular disease, keratoconus, immunodeficiency, or autoimmune disease are not good candidates for the procedure. PRK is also not a great option for individuals who form excessive scar tissue (keloids).
Often, PRK is an excellent alternative for patients who are not suitable candidates for LASIK.
During your initial consultation, our ophthalmologists will thoroughly examine the condition of your eyes to determine whether PRK is the best vision correction solution for you.
You will arrive at our Northeastern Pennsylvania ophthalmology office about an hour prior to your procedure. Once you have been checked in, you may be offered a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for surgery. The area around your eyes will be cleaned and a sterile drape may be applied around your eye. Anesthetic eye drops will be used to numb your eyes; no injections or needles will be used. When your eye is completely numb, an eyelid holder will be placed between your eyelids to keep you from blinking during the procedure.
Your PRK procedure will generally take less than five minutes to complete. During the procedure, your doctor will remove the epithelium, a thin layer of protective skin that covers the cornea. You will be asked to look directly at a target light while the laser reshapes your cornea. The laser will be programmed with the information gathered in your pre-operative exam. The laser treatment will be completed in less than a minute or two, depending on the amount of correction needed.
Following your PRK procedure, your eyes will be examined with a slit lamp microscope. Your eyes may be shielded for protection. Your vision may be somewhat blurry or hazy for up to 7 days. You may experience some discomfort as the epithelium heals and covers the treated area. Eye drops, pain medication and possibly a protective contact lens can be used to minimize this discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities within one to three days. Vision can fluctuate for up to three months.
Once the recovery period is over you will get the opportunity to experience the world with clear, improved eyesight. Your dependence on glasses or contact lenses will be greatly reduced.
What is the Recovery From PRK Like?
Recovery time after PRK can last from four days to a week. The more you are able to keep your eyes closed during the recovery period, the faster they will heal. After your procedure, our ophthalmologists will provide you with detailed postoperative instructions. It is important to follow these carefully in order to ensure your eyes heal properly.
You can generally return to work within 24 hours of your procedure, but it is best to avoid strenuous activities for a week or two. We also recommend that you wear sunglasses during the recovery period in order to protect your eyes.
If you're tired of wearing glasses, but have been told that you're not a candidate for LASIK, there is another vision correction option that may be right for you. It's called Clear Lens Extraction and Replacement, and it's designed especially for people who are over 40 and are not good candidates for LASIK. Clear Lens Extraction involves surgical removal of the eye's natural or crystalline lens and replacement with an artificial (intraocular) lens to achieve clearer eyesight.
Unlike LASIK and other refractive surgery techniques that correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea, Clear Lens Extraction corrects your vision by changing the focusing power of the eye's lens. To do this, we replace your natural lens with a new intraocular lens (IOL).
Like the lens of a camera, which focuses images sharply on the film, the eye's lens focuses light and images on the retina at the back of your eye. With Clear Lens Extraction, your natural lens is replaced with an IOL selected to give you the best vision for your needs. Clear Lens Extraction is well suited for people over 40 because that is the age that most of us begin to lose the ability to focus up close. This occurs when the natural lens becomes less flexible, and no longer accommodates as well to change its focus from distant to near vision. Then reading glasses or bifocals are needed for close work.
Before the procedure, your eye is carefully measured using precision state-of-the-art ultrasound instruments. These measurements are entered into a sophisticated formula to calculate the exact corrective power of your intraocular lens. This procedure uses the same advanced techniques that have been so successful in restoring sight for people with cataracts. The lenses described below with regard to cataract surgery are the same lenses you and your doctor will discuss your options for your Clear Lens Surgery.
Some IOLs used in Clear Lens Extraction have a fixed focal length and do not accommodate. If you select this type, you may prefer to have your new lens provide sharp distance vision for driving, golf, and similar activities. Or you may want near vision for reading, computer work, and other close activities. A consultation with one of our Northeastern Pennsylvania eye surgeons can help determine if this procedure is a good option for you.
The Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer® Lens) is a state-of-the-art refractive error solution that is ideal for anyone who has the need or desire for quality vision correction. Produced by STAAR® Surgical Company, the phakic intraocular lens (IOL) has numerous advantages including its correction of the widest range of myopia.
Are nearsighted, including those with mild, moderate, and severe myopia (-3D to -20D prescription) with minor or no occurrence of astigmatism. The Visian Toric ICL™, capable of correcting myopia and astigmatism, is currently under review with the U.S. FDA. The Visian TICL™ is currently available outside of the United States.
Have proper anterior chamber depth and acceptable eye tissue cell density (this will be determined by an ophthalmologist after a comprehensive eye exam).
High quality of vision – The Visian ICL not only improves your visual acuity, but it also enhances your quality of vision by producing sharp vision.
Wide treatment range – In comparison to other refractive procedures, the Visian ICL offers the widest treatment range for treating myopia (-3.0 diopters to -20.0 diopters).
Foldable – Because the Visian ICL is foldable, a small incision is required during the procedure. This feature makes the procedure efficient (no sutures needed) and improves healing time.
Proven track record – Implanted in over 55,000 eyes worldwide, the safety and amazing improvement in vision quality of the Visian ICL has been proven over the last 15 years.
The implantation procedure for the Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer® Lens) is refractive eye surgery that involves a procedure similar to the intraocular lens (IOL) implantation performed during cataract surgery. The main difference is that, unlike cataract surgery, the ICL eye surgery does not require the removal of the eye's crystalline lens.
Since glasses and contacts can easily be misplaced and cannot be worn during every moment of the day, many people with nearsightedness seek more advanced solutions for correcting myopia. Refractive surgery, including ICL vision correction, has become a viable option for correcting nearsightedness.
During a brief outpatient procedure, the Visian ICL can be implanted into a myopic eye to correct nearsightedness. The phakic IOL is often referred to as an implantable contact lens because, like a contact lens, it works with the eye's natural lens to correct a refractive error. Unlike a contact lens, the Visian ICL is surgically placed in the eye and does not have to be removed or cleaned at the end of the day. The Visian ICL also won't slip out of place like a traditional contact lens.
The main advantage of the Visian ICL over traditional corrective laser eye surgery is that patients may experience significant improvement in the quality of vision after the lens is implanted. Patients experience an almost immediate visual recovery.
The Visian ICL has proven to be effective in patients within a wide range of refractive errors. In fact, the phakic IOL can correct/reduce myopia from -3.0 to -20.0. Before now, some of these individuals were not candidates for surgical eye correction. Clinical studies have shown how the Visian ICL is truly a breakthrough myopia treatment in terms of results. Because implantation of the phakic IOL does not require any structural alteration of the eye, results are predictable and very stable.
When asked, most people say that they would most like to get rid of their contact lenses and glasses because they feel limited in the pursuit of certain activities. Whether frustrated by the hassle of having to carry prescription sunglasses for use in outdoor activities or an inability to see clearly underwater, people who use glasses and contacts often refrain from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Most patients who have received the lens implantation are pleased with how streamlined their everyday activities have become without the need for glasses and contacts.

canvas paintings for sales-Shura was the earliest new artist born in the scientific revolution -- artist and scientist.
Combine the classical structure of Renaissance tradition with the color experiment of impressionism.
It has a great influence on 20th century geometric abstract art.
Shura lived in the early days of impressionism and promoted the development of impressionism.
His special study of color made his works distinct,Black and White Wall Art and he himself became the representative of neo-impressionism -- pointillism.
George seurat, who died in Paris, attended a sketch school in Paris, then two years at the ecole superieure des beaux arts in Paris, and one year of voluntary service in Brest.
Blanc's assertion: "subject to certain laws of color, can be taught as music."Convince him.
tonal brightness are all included in the simultaneous contrast of colors".
By achieving a perfect balance of gradation changes and black and white contrast, unexpected scenes are presented before our eyes.
He captures light and color, revives them in black and white, creates shadows that are conducive to shape, light is full of mystery, and transitional gray reveals a world of strong vitality.
Harmonious curves restrict and balance each other, and various shapes emerge, giving off distinct colors of light.
After sinek invited seurat to impressionism and showed him the superiority of pure color, they piled up dots on the canvas that matched the interaction of environment, sunshine and color.
In order to better balance these factors and make them permeate each other to a small degree of difference, they used the method of dotting not on the palette but with dots and pure color points.
At a distance, the myriad dots appear to create the desired toning effect on the retina.
From then on, the law of contrast, the dot-color method, the pure color and the optical toning method became the main components of huila art.
It took seurat two years to make "Sunday afternoon in the big bowl island", a masterpiece.
Every morning he went to the seaside to paint, and in the afternoon he went back to his studio to study composition and color.
In order to obtain accurate and realistic realistic effects, he also conducted in-depth research on popular clothing and hairstyles at that time.
According to statistics, in order to create a painting named "Sunday afternoon of big bowl island", xiula made 400 sketches and color renderings.
In the picture, there are 40 characters, each of which is a summary of the painter after a lot of training.
They seem to have nothing to do with each other are placed together, but the picture is filled with a quiet and elegant beauty of order.
This is the first masterpiece of seurat, who established the technique of "point painting".
The work depicts people enjoying bathing in the Seine river in the arniel region west of Paris.
present a certain color in the eyes of viewers.
Although this technique of dotting has not yet been established in this painting, it can be regarded as a historical work of the so-called impressionist manifesto.
