Applying for admission to the first subject semester via the web portal of the University of Würzburg
Admission to restricted admission degree programmes is governed by
the Verordnung über die Hochschulzulassung an den staatlichen Hochschulen in Bayern (Directive on Admission to State Universities in Bavaria, HZV) and the JMU Bylaws on Admission as amended from time to time.
List of restricted admission degree programmes
Applications for admission must be submitted via the University's web portal. Any and all documents applicants will need to submit to the University in paper form must have been received by the University prior to the prescribed deadline.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, special application deadlines apply for the 2021/22 winter semester. They can be found here.
Main procedure:
In a main procedure, university places will be allocated in the order described below. Applicants who were made an offer of admission will be set a deadline by which they can accept the offer and enrol in the programme in question.
Clearing:
Any places that may remain untaken after the main procedure has been completed will be allocated through clearing. All applicants who were not made an offer in the main procedure will take part in clearing.
Clearing will close as soon as all places have been taken or there are no more applications for admission on file that were submitted in time and due form, but no later than four weeks after the lecture period has started.
Admissions lottery:
If and when places remain available after clearing has closed, these will be allocated among those applicants who submitted an application for participation in the admissions lottery within the prescribed deadlines.
We will not send paper copies of letters of admission or rejection in the post. You will receive an email informing you that the admission procedures have been completed. Please note that you will be obliged to independently inform yourself of whether your application for admission was accepted (to do so, check sb@home) and to print out your letter of admission or rejection.
No automatic enrolment into a higher subject semester
If you were admitted to the first subject semester of the programme of your choice and your previous study is eligible for credit transfer, please note: You will not be enrolled into a higher subject semester automatically.
Example: A medical student has successfully completed the pre-clinical stage of his studies at a university in a country other than Germany, and his achievements have been recognised by the examination office. He applies for admission to the first subject semester of a programme in medicine via the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung and receives an offer of admission to the first semester in the pre-clinical stage. If the student accepts that offer and enrols, he will not be enrolled into the first semester in the clinical stage automatically.
Rather, he will have to submit an application for admission to the higher semester to the University of Würzburg in the next round of admissions.
Order of consideration
First, those applicants will be allocated a place that are eligible for preferential admission, i.e. applicants to whom the University of Würzburg offered a place on the degree programme in question in the last round of admissions or the round before that but who were unable to accept that place because they were completing a service (see below).
In a next step, a certain percentage of the remaining places will be reserved for
applicants who would suffer undue hardship if their application for admission was rejected (2%),
applicants who obtained a subject-restricted higher education entrance qualification by studying in a programme at a university of applied sciences (4%),
applicants applying for admission to second degree studies (4%),
foreign nationals and stateless persons (5%),
applicants who did not obtain a higher education entrance qualification at school but hold a professional qualification that grants access to higher education (3%),
top athletes who belong to a squad of a German Olympic Sports Confederation (see explanation of the important quotas, No. 8) (2%)
and places will be allocated to applicants seeking admission under these separate quotas.
The remaining places will be allocated in the following way:
25% of places based on the average grade of the applicants' higher education entrance qualification,
10% of places based on the average grade of the applicants' higher education entrance qualification with a bonus awarded for waitlisted semesters accumulated by them (this quota will be used for the first time for the 2021 summer semester) and
65% of places according to criteria set by the University (Auswahlverfahren der Hochschule, AdH).
If two or more applicants tie, priority for places will be given to those applicants who can furnish documentary evidence to prove that they have completed a full service period or will have completed a full service period by 30 April (if they are applying for summer intake) or, respectively, 31 October (if they are applying for winter intake) or can furnish evidence to prove that, by 30 April/31 October, they will have completed at least six months of that service (information about services).
If there is still a tie between applicants after this criterion has been applied, it will be broken by drawing lots.
More information about some of the quotas mentioned above
1. Preferential admission
If you were offered a place on the degree programme in question at the University of Würzburg in the past but were unable to accept that place because you were completing a service, you will be given preferential consideration over all other applicants in the admission procedure. However, your entitlement to preferential admission will become void after the second round of admissions after the end of your service period. If admission restrictions are imposed for a degree programme that used to have unrestricted admission, the above shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to applicants who were unable to commence studies in that programme before these restrictions were imposed because they were completing a service.
The latter applies to the WS 2021 for elementary school didactics for the teaching profession at elementary schools.
The following types of service will be considered:
up to three years of military service or service in the German Border Guard
Bundesfreiwilligendienst volunteer service under the Bundesfreiwilligendienstgesetz (Federal Volunteer Service Act, BFDG)
Zivildienst (alternative service)
freiwilliges soziales/ökologisches Jahr (year of voluntary work in the social or environmental sector)
Weltwärts volunteer service
Kulturwelt volunteer service
International Youth Volunteer Service
at least two years of working as a development worker
up to three years of providing care for a child or other family member, provided that care was provided full time and the caregiving was comparable to the other types of service listed above in terms of the extent and intensity of involvement
The Berufsvorbereitendes Soziales Jahr (BSJ) orientation year cannot be considered.
Detailed information about services
Sample proof of service letter
2. Average grade of higher education entrance qualification (25 %)
The average grade of an applicant's higher education entrance qualification.
3. Average grade of higher education entrance qualification with a bonus awarded for waitlisted semesters accumulated by applicants (10%)
The average grade of an applicant's higher education entrance qualification will be improved by one tenth (0.1) per waitlisted semester, but not by more than one full grade (1.0).
The number of waitlisted semesters is the number of full semesters that have elapsed since an applicant acquired his/her higher education entrance qualification. A semester is the period of time beginning on 1 April and ending on 30 September of each year (summer semester) or beginning on 1 October and ending on 31 March of the following year (winter semester). Semesters during which an applicant was enrolled in a programme at a higher education institution in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany do not count as waitlisted semesters.
4. Places allocated according to criteria set by the University (AdH, 65%)
Places in this quota will be allocated by the University of Würzburg based on the average grade of the applicants' higher education entrance qualification.
5. Claims for special circumstances
You might be able to claim special circumstances. Before filing a claim for special circumstances, please consider carefully whether the claim has reasonable prospect of success.
As a rule, you must submit a claim for special circumstances at the same time as you submit your application for admission.
As a rule, you must submit an application for extenuating circumstances (Nachteilsausgleich) at the same time as you submit your application for admission.
Extenuating circumstances are personal circumstances beyond an applicant's control that prevented him/her from achieving a better average grade or acquiring his/her higher education entrance qualification earlier. If your application is accepted, your average grade will be improved (cf. no. 2) or the number of required waitlisted semesters reduced (cf. no. 3). Applicants applying for admission to second degree studies cannot apply for extenuating circumstances.

Information sheet for students considering a request for a reduction of the required number of waitlisted semesters
Claims of hardship
As a rule, you must submit a claim of hardship at the same time as you submit your application for admission.
Two percent of places on each degree programme are reserved for applicants who would suffer undue hardship if their application for admission was rejected. In order for a claim of hardship to be justified, it is necessary that factors exist in your person that would lead to health-related, social or family-related impairment that is so severe that you cannot reasonably be expected to wait for admission. The hardship policy of hochschulstart.de in Dortmund shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Information sheet for students considering a claim of hardship
6. Applicants applying for admission to second degree studies
Individuals who are applying for admission to second degree studies (Zweitstudium), i.e. are already holding a degree in another subject from a university or university of applied sciences in Germany at the time they submit their application, will only compete against other applicants who are already holding a degree. These applicants will not be admitted based on the average grade of their higher education entrance qualification or the number of waitlisted semesters they have accumulated. The only factors that will be taken into consideration are the reasons for which they seek admission to second degree studies as well as the grade of their first degree. Applicants will earn points based on these two criteria. The admission policy for second degree studies of hochschulstart.de in Dortmund shall apply mutatis mutandis.
If you want to invoke scientific reasons for pursuing a second degree in medicine, dentistry or pharmacy when you submit an application for admission to hochschulstart.de, you will have to obtain an opinion (in German called Hochschulgutachten) from the University of Würzburg (postal address: Universität Würzburg, Studierendenkanzlei, Sanderring 2, 97070 Würzburg, Germany). You must request that opinion
by 15 December (for summer intake) or
by 15 June (for winter intake).
1. Grade of first degree
ausgezeichnet (outstanding) or sehr gut (excellent): 4 points
gut (good) or vollbefriedigend (fully satisfactory): 3 points
befriedigend (satisfactory): 2 points
ausreichend (sufficient): 1 point
2. Reasons for which admission to second degree studies is sought
Category 1 - compelling professional reasons -
You need two degrees to be able to work in the profession of your choice: 9 points
Category 2 - scientific or scholarly reasons -
There are scientific or scholarly reasons for which it makes sense for you to complete a second degree. You want to obtain a position in science or research and, for that reason, want to obtain an additional academic qualification in another subject based on your previous work in academia and the professional world:
7 points if the scientific or scholarly reasons are substantial and your scientific or scholarly background confirms the existence of such reasons.
9 points if the scientific or scholarly reasons are very substantial and your past accomplishments confirm the existence of such reasons.
11 points if the reasons are of outstanding scientific or scholarly importance and of particular general interest and your outstanding accomplishments confirm the existence of such reasons.
Category 3 - special professional reasons -
The second degree usefully complements your first degree and, for that reason, will considerably enhance your job prospects. Special professional reasons will not be considered to exist if you merely want to change professions: 7 points
Category 4 - other professional reasons -
The second degree does not usefully complement your first degree, however, there are other reasons for which the second degree will considerably enhance your job prospects: 4 points
Category 5 - other reasons -
None of the above reasons: 1 point
7. Holders of a professional qualification that grants access to higher education
Three percent of places on each programme are reserved for applicants holding a professional qualification that grants access to higher education. These places will be allocated according to the grade achieved in the final vocational training examination or, respectively, the grade achieved in the master craftsman's or comparable diploma (Meister, Fachwirt, Techniker, etc.).
Important information: Holders of a professional qualification granting access to higher education will not be considered for admission until they have consulted with an advisor. They will thus be required to submit a letter confirming that they have attended an advising session and that their qualification constitutes a general higher education entrance qualification or that they are eligible for consideration for a probationary study period along with their application for admission.
8. Top athletes
Two percent of places on each programme are reserved for applicants who are members of a squad (see list below) of a national sports federation that is a member of the German Olympic Sports Confederation.
Olympiakader (OK) squad
Perspektivkader (PK) squad
Ergänzungskader (EK) squad
Nachwuchskader 1 (NK 1) squad
These places will be allocated according to the average grade of the applicants' higher education entrance qualification.

I am currently attempting to sew up a version similar to your last pick, so I guess that would be my choice, but I do love Top Shop one, too!
ooh romper - not heard that term for years!!
Sew your own? Wow you are clever!


Although the Marketplace 6 is in a suburban shopping center, its layout is not built on any traditional California architectural model. Entering the freestanding building gives one a slightly urban feeling. Its auditoriums are on the second floor, above the restaurants and shops. The auditoriums sit side by side across from a row of long rectangular windows, reaching nearly to the floor, which give waiting moviegoers a view of the shopping center.
When Edwards Cinemas opened it in August of 1990, tickets were bought on the outside ground level three-window boxoffice but that has been closed for many years. Today the escalators take you upstairs to the entrance and lobby where tickets are purchased at the concession stand.
Its very modern interior still seems contemporary at this writing in 2011 and the non-stadium seating seems very spacious. Its movies are mainly moveovers from the Edwards Stadium 10, across the street. There may be reason for its longevity, despite the Edwards 10 across the street and AMC's District 14, three miles away. It demise could potentially spell bad news for the restaurants and stores surrounding it, such as California Pizza Kitchen. Regal has probably negotiated very attractive terms with their landlord, the Irvine Company.
The Tustin Marketplace 6 was closed on October 7, 2012.
Thanks flix70 interesting stories, A good theatre is a great anchor in a shopping center.Weekends for sure as you mentioned.
1994 Edwards' Theatres Circuit of San Gabriel Calif., James Edwards, Jr. Owner, He had over 20 theaters all in California.
Tustin was home from 1942 to 1999 of the U.S. Naval Air Station Santa Ana/U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Tustin. The 2 Massive Blimp Hangers still stand.
Tustin Marketplace 6 is now offering $5 tickets all day on Sundays and Tuesdays.
Caught "Warrior" at the Tustin 6 last week; first time I'd been inside since 2001. Looked the same for the most part, save for the lack of people. Only one other person in my theater for a matinee showing. Had to move twice as the armrests on both seats I tried were loose. Seats in front of me were faded and chipped. Presentation and sound were fine for the most part(surprisingly all theaters feature digital projection) but with its lack of stadium seating and overall freshness, it really fits the model of a bargain theater now and ticket prices should be dropped to at least $5 for all screenings, not just the ones on Sunday and Tuesday. Paying $9.75 for a matinee here is ridiculous. I don't plan on returning until that happens.
Do ALL the auditoriums have a fixed aspect ratio of about 2:1? Went here for the first time Friday… The digital projection allowed them to pillarbox 1.85 on the screen, with slivers of empty space on either side. I'm assuming that Scope shows still get cropped, as they have Sony 4k, meaning they couldn't easily alter the image height for a letterbox effect.
It's a lot like other late 80s/early 90s Edwards sites with the fixed aspect ratios, that distinct type of seat that rocks back and forth, and a strangely modern interior given the auditoriums themselves… Most reminded me of the Del Mar Highlands 8.
Just heard about the closure. Regal really dropped the ball on this property. It could have been a viable, rather profitable second-run theater if they just brought the prices down to relect the product and environment. Offering reduced pricing on just Sundays and Tuesdays was a joke. Just look at what Starplex did with the old Woodbridge Theater in Irvine. They're charging $2 a head for second-run flicks and doing gangbuster business everyday. It's like the early '80s over there. With any luck, they'll rescue the Tustin 6 and make it a destination once again.
Seems like a great property for Regency to pick up, though it'll probably become retail given the popularity of the mall.
guarantee that that Regal put a non compete clause in the closure of this theater, unless they just let the lease expire and the landlord is motivated to fill it.
Second run houses are going to be a thing of the past anyone going in there at this point will have to re-fit the booth again with new equipment and there is no point not going digital, and the cost out weighs the fact there is probably a booking zone issue where they will have to split product and argh as nice as it sounds it is a gut re-hab.
PRO's it hasn't been closed long enough to be demolished.
Frankly, second-run theaters have reinvigorated the exhibition business. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Starplex's Woodbridge 5 is doing gangbuster business as a bargain house. They went digital two years ago and can show anyhing that's out there, 3D included. One just has to look at the lines in front of the place on a Saturday night to realize second-run theaters are not "a thing of the past." Moviegoers are hungry for cheaper alternatives, especially in family-friendly places like Irvine and Tustin. Starplex is doing it, so is Regency. Regal should have recongized the opportunity and jumped on it. If it doesn't fit your current model, change the model.
As far as a gut-rehab, I don't buy it. Its location (second-floor)and large footprint make it a very unique property. With the exception of maybe a restaurant or food court, I can't see anything else going in there. Restaurants, however, have been closing over there for years so I doubt anyone new would come in. I'm pretty sure it was the lease that expired and the Irvine Company will look at new theater operators first, as they did when Edwards closed the Woodbridge 5.

Today is the Feast of St Stephen, which is also known as Boxing Day in the UK.
How did the Tudors celebrate St Stephen's Day?
Let me tell you, before moving on to talking about this day in 1546, when an ill Henry VIII made some changes to his will in preparation for his nine-year-old son, Edward, inheriting the throne…
St Stephen's Day (Boxing Day)
Happy Boxing Day! Or Happy St Stephen's Day!
In Tudor times, the Feast of St Stephen, the first Christian martyr, who was stoned to death for blasphemy, was associated with bleeding horses and cattle, and also hunting. On one St Stephen's Day, at the Inner Temple, a cat and fox were let loose and hunted with a pack of hounds who finally tore the two creatures to bits. Here is the account from John Nichols's The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth (Volume V, p. 161):
"This Ceremony also performed, a Huntsman cometh into the Hall, with a Fox and a Purse-net; with a Cat, both bound at the end of a staff; and with them nine or ten Couple of Hounds, with the blowing of Hunting-Hornes. And the Fox and Cat are by the Hounds set upon, and killed beneath the Fire."
In the UK, it's known as Boxing Day and this has its origins in the 17th century when apprentices and servants collected their annual tips (gratuities) in boxes or earthenware pots.
Henry VIII's Will
On this day in Tudor history, 26th December 1546, a rather ill King Henry VIII made some changes to his will, a document which had been prepared two years earlier. These changes were made to ensure the successful transfer of royal authority to his son, the future Edward VI, and to prepare for Edward reigning during his minority.
These changes were made by William Paget, on the king's behalf, and then Henry VIII signed the will on 30th December 1546.
Changes to proposed titles and grants – For example, Edward Seymour was originally meant to be Duke of Hertford and his son Earl of Wiltshire, but William Paget changed it to "duke of Somerset or Exeter or Hertford and his soonne erle of Wiltshire if he be duke of Hertford." There were also cancelled earldoms which affected John, Lord Russell, and William Paulet, and a cancelled barony for Sir Thomas Arundel.
Confirmation of those men who would form a council to advise his son Edward during his minority.
The addition of the Suffolk line, the offspring of Henry VIII's sister, Mary Tudor, as heirs after King Henry VIII's own children.
The king died on 28th January 1547, at the age of 55, and his nine-year-old son, Edward, became King Edward VI.

Mutual Funds are an excellent way of investing for a child's future. They can help pay for a child's education, marriage and even home purchase depending on the returns you get. In this article, we explain how to invest in mutual funds for a child/minor.
Can a Child invest in Mutual Funds?
A child (minor) can invest in mutual funds, but through a guardian. This can be a natural guardian like a parent or a legal guardian appointed by the court. Only the guardian can operate the mutual fund investment until the child attains the age of 18. After that age, the guardian cannot operate the account. Existing SIPs, STPs and SWPs will however continue until the child (who has now attained majority) halts them by submitting appropriate documents. In addition, the child must submit a change of status request from minor to major, upon attaining majority.
Transfer of money from a parent to a child and vice versa is free of income tax. There is also no gift tax applicable. However, the income earned by a child from mutual fund investments is liable to be clubbed with the parent's income for the purposes of Income Tax. Hence investing in the name of the child is not a good way of saving income tax.
Which mutual funds should you invest in, for a child?
There are a number of child plans/children gift plans offered by various mutual funds that have a lock-in of 5 years or until the child attains majority. These funds are little more than marketing ploys. An general high performing mutual fund can give you much better returns than a child plan. You can invest in the funds mentioned below if your time horizon is more than 5 years and you can bear a relatively high risk level. If these conditions are not fulfilled, invest in short duration mutual funds, mentioned at the end of this article.
Small cap funds work best over very long term horizons which are associated with investing for a child. HDFC Small Cap Fund has emerged as a consistent outperformer and that too by a vast margin. Its margin of outperformance against its benchmark is as much as 6% for 5 year returns, 10% for 3 year returns and a whopping 20% for 1 year returns. About 4,850 of the 5,000 companies listed on the NSE and BSE are small caps giving these funds immense scope to deliver high returns through smart stock-picking. The fund manager of HDFC Small Cap, Chirag Setalvad has done just that. Having assumed charge in 2014, he has completed almost 5 years with this hugely successful fund. He also does not hesitate to sit on cash when valuations get stretched. Investors in this fund will find themselves well taken care of, across market cycles.
Franklin Templeton AMC is one of the strongest fund houses in India terms of research and process and Franklin India Smaller Companies, is one of its flagship funds. The fund was launched in January 2006, shortly before the bull market of 2003-2007 ended and the 2008 recession hit. However it has still delivered a 13.6% annualized return since inception. Over the last 10 years it has delivered a still higher 24.13% return. The fund has been managed by R Janakiraman since Feb 2008, more than a decade's worth of experience placing investors in safe hands. With 76 stocks and a highly diversified approach, it is also well placed to survive market panics and down-cycles.
Midcap Funds can invest in companies ranging from the 101st largest to the 250th largest listed company in India. Such companies account for 15-20% of India's total market capitalisation. Many of them are typically dynamic, emerging challengers within their sectors and are likely to become tomorrow's blue chip companies. Funds which can identify these winners can create a great deal of wealth for investors. L&T Midcap Fund is one such mutual fund. The fund has 10 year returns of 23.19% and 5 year returns of 24.25%. The fund manager, Soumendra Nath Lahiri does not rely on a few concentrated bets to achieve this return and has instead built a diversified portfolio of around 77 stocks. He has completed more than 5 years at the fund, building up solid experience across bull and bear markets. Investors in this fund have a good chance of seeing their wealth multiply manifold.
If you are paying for your child's education, you may need a fund that allows you withdraw and pay fees every year or every semester. If these expenditures are less than 5 years away, short term funds would work better than equity fund. These funds invest in relatively safer debt securities which have a short maturity period (1-3 years). We have shortlisted the following short-term fund for a child's education. If you have more than 5 years for these fees/charges to become payable, invest in the equity funds mentioned above.
You can either make lump sum withdrawals from these funds or you can set up a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP). In either case redemption within 3 years is taxed under Short Term Capital Gains Tax at your slab rate. Redemption after 3 years of investing is taxed at 20% and the benefit of indexation is given. Indexation reduces your tax liability to account for inflation.

"My father was a rock star"
Julia Powles
Opening: Wednesday 6 April, 6-8pm
Dates: 6 – 23 April 2016
Two points in history to consider:
• The Bauhaus operated as an experimental art school in Germany in the years between the first and second world wars.
• After forty-five years of communist rule the borders to East Germany were re-opened in 1990.
My father was a rock star examines the relationship between divergent moments in history: Johannes Itten's 1930s Bauhaus colour theory, the fall of the Berlin Wall, youth protest movements and an unknown German heavy metal band.
Formed as an installation of scanned, digitally altered and re-printed photographs alongside over-painted found photographs, My father was a Rock Star is the result of a two-year enquiry into an abandoned archive of analogue photographs purchased in the East German city of Leipzig. How the box of photographs ended up in the junk shop is unknown, however some clues do exist: a meticulous numbering system on the verso of each image indicating cataloguing, the same people re-appearing in photographs, the same subject matter and on each photograph there is the date stamped: 1989, 1990 and 1991, the exact period in time in which the great project of the twentieth century, Communism, failed.
Using Johannes Itten's The Elements of Colour, developed when Itten was teaching in the Bauhaus, the original found photographs have been over-painted with abstractions. Prior to being over-painted each photograph was scanned, digitally altered and then re-printed. Groupings of the over-painted analogue photographs are shown alongside a grouping of the new digital prints.

D&E - Gatehouse Poplar At the entrance to the Davis & Elkins campus stands the Gatehouse, a quaint structure that doubled as a gatekeeper's/caretaker's residence during the years when the Elkins family spent their summers at Halliehurst. Today, the tiny historic building houses the D&E College Office of Public Safety.
D&E - Graceland Mansion Oak Completed in 1893, Graceland is a stone mansion that, along with a 360-acre estate, served as the summer home of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis. In 1945, it was presented to D&E College by the WV Presbyterian Educational Fund and was used for student housing until 1970.
D&E - Halliehurst Cherry Built (circa 1890) by Senator Stephen B. Elkins as a summer home, Halliehurst Mansion and the surrounding farm were donated to Davis and Elkins College in the late 1920s by his widow, Mrs. Hallie Davis Elkins. It now houses the Office of the President.
D&E - The Icehouse Poplar Completed in 1893, Graceland is a stone mansion that, along with a 360-acre estate, served as the summer home of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis. In 1945, it was presented to D&E College by the WV Presbyterian Educational Fund and was used for student housing until 1970.
Helvetia Chalet Poplar The Chalet (also known as the A-Frame) was built in the late 1940s. One of Helvetia's only stone buildings, the Chalet was constructed from sandstone block formed and molded in Helvetia. In 2015, the Chalet was torn down due to dilapidation, but some of its stone and much of its timber frames were reused throughout the village.
Helvetia Cheese Haus Oak Cheesemaking has long been a tradition in Helvetia. Original settlers made cheese in their homes as a regular staple and to accompany their homemade wine. In the 1970s, when the demand for the famous Helvetia Cheese grew beyond the supply from homes, the Cheese Haus was erected and Helvetia Cheese was produced for several years to supply the local Swiss restaurant, The Hutte, and to sell to the public. Cheese is no longer produced in the Cheese Haus but the building and cheese-making equipment have been preserved.
Randolph County Courthouse Oak This wood was reclaimed from the attic of the Randolph County Courthouse which was built between 1902 and 1904. It is constructed of brick and faced with stone with contrasting smooth and textured stone trim. The tower flanking the entrance stands 150 feet tall.
WV's Largest Black Cherry Tree This black cherry was reclaimed from the Merkley – McNeal farm near Helvetia. The latest official measurements made in 2011 found the tree to be 189 inches in circumference (over 5 feet in diameter), 98 feet tall, and 79 feet across the crown.


Are you planning to launch a multi-city portal where event organizers can advertise their events? but don't know what event directory WordPress Themes will full fill your needs.
You already know, starting a new venture can be confusing especially when you don't know exact things about your new website idea.
Let's say you own an Event Directory site on Newyork based city and you got it to the top of the search engines for all the local events key phrases.
Then every event manager would pay you a fee to put up a webpage on your site. Because that way they can benefit from selling huge tickets from your site.
OR If you're new in this field, you have to collect every events information in your town or can call them to list their event on your site.
As you know, WordPress is the great platform for creating any type of website including the ticket-selling website too. WordPress is fully customizable thanks to millions of themes and plugins available for this platform. So for creating Event Directory website on WordPress, you need a theme for such functionality.

This allows you to build a highly rated city or country website. It can be used for concerts, social events, bar camps, museums or galleries.
The only thing you don't like it is that Extension plugins are not included in the theme package. And theme and plugins do cost more, but I think it's worth to invest in such a powerful theme.

From our SCUBA diving volunteer opportunity & conservation holiday on the coral reefs of the Musandam peninsula, Oman (http://www.biosphere-expeditions.org/musandan). Expedition blogs at http://biosphereexpeditions.wordpress.com/, http://www.facebook.com/biosphere.expeditions1, https://plus.google.com/103347005009999707934/posts.
Due to the thermal sensitivity of reef-building corals, recent climate change models have predicted an increase in the frequency and severity of mass coral bleaching events as a reaction to the rise of ocean. As a consequence it is expected that there will be an increase in coral mortality and phase-shifts in the ecosystem structure, where reef habitats dominated by corals are replaced by competitively dominant algae. These phase-shifts produce a cascade of effects, such as a decline in coral recruitment as well as decay on other species that are dependent on corals, which lead to a degradation of reefs.
The Gulf also has significant seasonal insolation fluctuations and in some areas is a hyper-saline environment year round with salinities regularly >45 ppt.
The Persian Gulf is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Oman, part of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman are biogeographically connected with one another through the Strait of Hormuz, in the Musandam peninsula, and although both share close taxonomic affinities, each represents very different environmental conditions The Persian Gulf reefs are exposed to the highest temperature (>35ºC) and salinity (>45 ups) known for reefs worldwide, making it an ideal natural laboratory for the study of the effects of herbivory in extreme conditions. The Persian Gulf is biogeographically connected with the adjacent Gulf of Oman, where conditions are much more benign, providing a useful comparative opportunity to understand the implications that warming temperatures may have on ecological processes on coral reefs.
22. Musandam Reef Check 2012 THANK YOU!

"Creative Strategic Planning: Planning Instead of Reacting", an interactive workshop presented by Jan Loomis, RJL Consulting.
Too often businesses are in reactive mode�putting out fires, acting on input from employees and outsiders, following fads and the �latest� management philosophy. As a result the business spends too much time off message and not enough time working towards sustainable profitability.
The cure for this problem is creative strategic planning done on a regular basis and involving all employees. Strategic planning needs to become integral and ongoing in the business not a �nice to have� shelved for lack of time.

By far the worst kayak I've ever owned or have used. It ruined the Emotion brand name. Horrible engineering on this one. In flat water it is slow and sluggish. In white water you're flipping over the first rock you hit. Very unstable kayak. Will take all the fun and enjoyment out of the sport.
I've owned my Perceptions Acadia 11.5 for 3 years. It is my favorite of the three kayaks I own. Excellent stability. It's fast & comfortable. I've done flat water, whitewater rapids & water falls (cannot surf due to its length & keel), and have used it in the bays of the Texas Coast. I can't understand anyone not enjoying this yak.

Penn Hills product Treyvon Hester grateful for opportunity with Philadelphia Eagles | TribLIVE.com
Penn Hills product Treyvon Hester grateful for opportunity with Philadelphia Eagles
Andrew John
Fri., September 14, 2018 12:18 a.m. | Friday, September 14, 2018 12:18 a.m.
As Treyvon Hester entered his second year in the NFL, he was hoping to make the opening day roster for the Oakland Raiders.
The Penn Hills product thought he was in the clear after making the initial 53-man roster. But, Hester received word from the Raiders on Labor Day they were releasing him to make room for defensive tackle Brian Price.
He stayed patient, motivated and encouraged that he would find a new home in the NFL.
Later that week, Hester received word through his agent the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles expressed interest in signing him to their 10-man practice squad. The move became official Sept. 8.
"I want to come out here and make these guys better, get them ready for our opponent and make myself better every day. As soon as I learn the playbook, I will take it from there," Hester said.
"I have a great opportunity to come here and learn from some veteran guys like Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Mike Bennett and Haloti Ngata. There's a lot of veteran presence here so I can sit here and pick their brains and see how they lasted this long."
Hester, who is a 6-foot-2 and 304 pounds, was a seventh-round draft pick out of Toledo in 2017. In his rookie season, Hester played in 14 games, including one start against the Cowboys in mid-December.
The defensive tackle made 19 tackles during his rookie season and made eight tackles, including a sack, during this preseason for the Raiders. Hester was grateful for the experience provided by the Raiders to play a game he has loved since childhood.
"It was a great experience being picked up by Oakland. I was able to carry out my childhood dream and being able to go out to California. I never had been to Cali before. It was a great experience to go down there and be part of that organization," Hester said.
The 2012 Penn Hills alum and Wilkinsburg native was a second-team All-MAC selection at Toledo during his senior season.
Hester believes he has become more of a student of the game and learned to take the fundamentals and smaller details more serious. Hester had Khalil Mack, an all-pro pass rusher, and veterans Bruce Irvin and Justin Ellis to show him how to prepare properly at the NFL level.
"Honestly, I'm just happy to live the experience. Coming from where I come from in the innercity of Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg, it's a hard-nosed and tough town," Hester said.
"Not many make it out of there so to be able to make it and do what I'm doing is a blessing itself. I'm taking it all in. I'm happy and grateful for every opportunity I get. I'm going to keep working like I do and like we all do."
The experience of trying to make a NFL roster is very difficult and requires a tough-minded individual to handle the highs and lows. Hester credits his support system for allowing him to have a positive outlook on achieving his dream.
"It has been a fight. I've strapped these gloves on and I've been swinging," he said. "I can't be more proud of the family that I have and the supporters that I have supporting me and have supported me throughout the whole journey. I'm just grateful."

While you're still missing the headphone jack on an iPhone, prepare your mind for a future Apple handset without the side buttons.
Apple applied for a patent this morning on squeeze detection sensors that could replace the input buttons and add "deformable" walls to the housing.
Like any individual or corporation that makes products, Apple routinely files for patients. Even with U.S. Patent & Trademark Office approval, it may take years for a patented feature to show up. Often, the protected invention never makes it into production.
Edge sensors for smartphone housing are not new.
The Pixel 2 has what it calls "Active Edge" and the HTC U11 debuted last year with pressure-sensing sides. While the HTC smartphone received good performance reviews, some critics, such as C/NET's Luke Lancaster, found it to be a distracting gimmick. He used voice commands to work around the squeeze features.
While Apple hypes its features and products like no other brand, it doesn't claim to be first with an idea. But Apple has said it likes taking existing technology and making it better.
How will iPhone users react to such a change?
Apple illustrates squeeze tech in its USTPO application.
"Squeeze" could draw initial criticism similar to when Apple began producing iPhones without a headphone jack. People couldn't imagine tuning out without plugging in until AirPods and other wireless earbuds and headphones rolled back the outrage.
Social media snark artists may also cry "gimmick" and compare a squeezable iPhone to a previous model that had a bending problem (remember BendGate with the iPhone 6 line?).
Electronic devices receive input from users via a variety of different mechanisms. Such mechanisms include buttons, keys, external input devices (such as computer mice, scanners, and so on), touch screens, and other such input mechanisms. However, providing such input mechanisms as part of an electronic device requires space on the electronic device. Additionally, such input mechanisms may complicate the electronic device and/or the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device. External input devices may not require space on the electronic device itself. However, they may still require a connector of some kind to be located on the electronic device and may be cumbersome for users to utilize, particularly in the case of portable and/or handheld electronic devices.
A force sensing compliant enclosure for an electronic device may include at least one deformable housing wall. At least one strain concentration portion may be located on the deformable housing wall where strain caused by application of a force that deforms the deformable housing wall is greater than at other portions of the deformable housing wall. The strain concentrating portion may have a second thickness that is thinner than other portions of the deformable housing wall. One or more sensors may be positioned in the strain concentration portion and may sense strain caused by the application of the force that deforms the deformable housing wall.
You can read the full application on the USPTO website.

국제앰네스티는 짐바브웨 마랑게(Marange) 지역의다이아몬드 광산에서 발생한 인권침해를 폭로한 이유로 구금되었었던 활동가에 대한 기소취하를 환영했다.
지난 22일, 하라레(Harare) 지역의 치안법원에서 국가측 변호인단은 파라이 마구우(Farai Maguwu)에 대한 모든 기소를 취하했다.
파라위 마구우는 지난 7월 킴벌리 프로세스 인증체계(Kimberley Process Certification Scheme; KP)에 마랑게지역 다이아몬드 광산에서 보안군에 의해 자행된 인권침해를 알린 뒤 "정부에 반하는 정보발행 및 순환"을 이유로 기소되었다.
국제앰네스티 미셸 카가리(Michelle Kagari) 아프리카국 부국장은 "우리는 파라이 마구우에 대한 기소취하 결정을 매우 기쁘게 받아드리는 한편 짐바브웨 내의 인권활동가에 대한 핍박과 표현, 연대, 결사 의 자유 제한에 대하여 우려 하고 있다"고 밝혔다.
다음날인 23일 파라이 마구우는 국제앰네스티에"이 사건 은 나의 자유를 억압하고 있었다. 나는 이동에 제한을 받았으며 스스로 말을 조심해야 했다… 나는 국제앰네스티가 나를 돕기위해 한 일들을 매우 기쁘고 고맙게 생각한다"고 말했다.
22 October 2010Amnesty International has welcomed the withdrawal of charges against a Zimbabwean activist who was detained for five weeks after he exposed human rights violations in the country's diamond fields in Marange.
On Thursday, at a magistrate's court in Harare, government lawyers withdrew all the charges against FaraiMaguwu. However, these charges could be reinstated at a later date.
FaraiMaguwu was charged in June with "publishing or communicating false information prejudicial to the state" after he reportedly told a diamond trade monitor from the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KP)about the abuses carried out by security forces in the Marange diamond fields.
FaraiMaguwu had been detained since his arrest on 3 June and was released on bail on 12 July,.
"While we are thrilled that the charges against Farai Maguwu have been withdrawn, we remain concerned about persistent harassment of human rights defenders in Zimbabwe, including restrictions to their ability to exercise their rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly" said Michelle Kagari Amnesty International's Deputy Director for Africa.
On Friday, FaraiMaguwu told Amnesty International: "This case was limiting my freedom. My travel was limited. I had to censor myself… I'm very happy and grateful for the work that Amnesty did [to support me]"Maguwu was charged under Section 31 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Farai Maguwu's lawyers have said that he was detained as punishment for revealing human rights violations to a diamond monitor from the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KP), which certifies rough diamonds as being free from links to violence.
Abbey Chikane, the KP monitor on Zimbabwe, stated in his report on the country's compliance with the KP scheme that he met with FaraiMaguwu in the presence of state intelligence officers, raising fears that the activist's safety had been compromised.
The monitor's statement also called into question the Kimberley Process' methods for protecting people who provide information about human rights violations at Zimbabwe's diamond fields.
FaraiMaguwu is the head of the Centre for Research and Development (CRD). The organization has played a key role investigating human rights violations against those working in and living close to the Marange diamond fields as an official observer of the Kimberly Process.

The XX – Live Review
The XX @ Manchester Academy 2
by James Jepson
South West London trio, The XX, formed a few years back while at the prestigious Elliott School, and with wrap sheet including Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet, I know where I wish I'd spent my teenage years. After getting signed to Young Turks Records, they dropped the self-titled début album in August 2009 and proceeded to make their massive mark on the world with a truly phenomenal sound and production style that resulted in one of the best LPs to greet my ears to date.
This Saturday saw them touch down at the Academy as part of a worldwide tour. Since their album's release they've snowballed in popularity and it's evident at the show. The crowd stretch wall to wall, and all eyes are centre stage waiting for the main act.
The XX appear in sillhouette before a white screen, performing the intro to their album with exactly the kind of effortless cool you would expect. Straight away though, like their album at times, the sub bass goes ridiculously out of control and it takes a while before the engineer gets a hold on it. Occasionally the entire room shakes with Hendrix style feedback and you wonder whether they are doing it on purpose. When they get the sound right (and they do) it's perfect, though the music often makes you feel like you want to be within whispering distance, the XX comfortably take command of the whole room from front to back.
In addition to the album we also get a delicious cover of Womack And Womack's 'Tears', though it is on this occasion that some of the trademarks of their style become a little more obvious. No matter, it is irrelevant whether this was a brilliant gig or just a very good one, there is so much to celebrate about UK music at the moment, and I'm just excited about where this is all going.
Although their songs are simple, poetic and unashamedly romantic, we definitely need more of The XX and their peers to counteract what can often be a brash scene of wobble, purple or some other craziness.

Us Against You
Autor BACKMAN, Fredrik
'I utterly believed in the residents of Beartown, and felt ripped apart by the events in the book' JOJO MOYES, bestselling author of Me Before You, on Beartown
Can a broken town survive a second tragedy? The follow-up to the international bestseller Beartown.
Beartown is dying . . .
Tucked in a forest in the frozen north, Beartown's residents are tough and hardworking. They don't expect life to be easy, but they do expect it to be fair.
Which is why the sudden loss of their hockey players to the rival town of Hed hurts. Everyone needs something to cheer for in the long winter nights. Now they have nothing.
So when a new star player arrives, Coach Peter sees an opportunity to rebuild the team - to take on Hed and restore Beartown's fortunes. But not everyone in town sees it his way.
As the big game between both towns approaches, the rivalry turns bitter and all too real. Once the stands rumbled with threats to 'kill' and 'ruin' each other, but the residents didn't mean it. Now they do.
By the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead . . .
Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself. It's about how people come together - sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love. And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.
Evident in all [Backman] novels is an apparent ability to state a truth about humanity with breathtaking elegance (Kirkus Reviews)
Backman is the Dickens of our age, and though you'll cry, your heart is safe in his hands (Green Valley News, Arizona)
A light hearted, deeply moving novel about a grumpy but loveable curmudgeon who finds his solitary world (CBS Local)
Mr. Backman cements his standing as a writer of astonishing depth and proves that he also has very broad range plus the remarkable ability to make you understand the feelings of each of a dozen different characters. . . . The story is fully packed with wise insights into the human experience causing characters and readers to ponder life's great question of who we are, what we hope to be and how we should lead our lives (The Washington Times)
Backman's ability to tell stories in pictures is one of his strongest merits, not least how he describes relationships . . . It's rare that one cares about so many characters in a book, and seldom that one comes so close to a whole community. But the leading role in Backman's novels about Beartown is, after all, played by the sports community. It's a love declaration of the highest order (Göteborgs-Posten, Sweden)
Fredrik Backman writes wonderfully about men, with a love and understanding for the ones who would rather solve conflicts with their fists. It's hard not to love it (Dagens Nyheter, Sweden)
A brilliant sequel . . . Backman writes about loyalty and love, but also captures the feelings of athletes in a vibrant way (Skaraborgs Allehanda, Sweden)
Backman knows how to construct a thrilling plot, and what he writes engages . . . And when he hits his stride among the emotions, the sentimental turns into an asset - like a hockey puck straight to the heart (Landskrona Posten, Sweden)
It's obvious that Fredrik Backman loves sports and no one is as good at evoking feelings as he is. You are thrown between laughter and tears in the space of one sentence to the next. At the same time, this might be his most earnest and serious, if you can understand what I mean, novel to date. It takes an even bigger grip on the world than the previous novel in the series did. Now we can only wait for the next chapter (Värmlands Folkblad, Sweden)
