Whether you're in the mood for a flaky croissant, a gigantic chocolate chip cookie or a warm slice of pie you have your go-to Long Island bakery. But what about your go-to vacation bakery? Stepping into a good bakery is the adult version of being a kid in a candy shop. Here are nine cities every bakery lover should visit.
Home to more bakeries per capita than almost anywhere else in the country, historic Concord, North Carolina just outside of Charlotte is where to head if you're a lover of cheese straws (a traditional Southern treat of cheese, butter and flour shaped into straws). It's a sweet meets savory must-have. Pulse Pick: Ritchie Hill Bakery.
The Midwestern city has become a must-visit in the past few years whether it's for the music scene, barbeque or arts. And bakery fans will find much to rave about. There's the rainbow selection of perfectly baked macaroons at Sasha's Baking Co, the unusual flavor combinations like blackberry peach muffin at Scratch Bakery and the beignets at Beignet that will have you thinking you're in New Orleans.
Barbecue is what you probably think of when you think Nashville but the electric city has plenty to offer in the form of bakeries. Head to Gigi's for cupcakes, Sweet 16th for basically anything delicious and don't forget to catch some live music at the Blue Bird.
Life seems to slow in New Orleans. Meals can last for hours, ideal for savoring a beignet over some hickory coffee. The fried fitters served with powdered sugar are the Crescent City classic. Try one at Café Du Monde, after all no trip to New Orleans is complete without a visit to the famous spot.
LA and San Francisco normally get all the bakery love but Newport Beach is home to 5.35 bakeries per capita meaning there's plenty for sweet tooth's to try and fall in love with. Order a marble cake, vanilla pound cake with chocolate swirls and chocolate glaze icing, from Susie Cakes.
No list of cities for bakery lovers would be complete without New York. Nutella milk bread, torched to order frozen s'mores, made-to-order madeleines, you can find all those treats at Dominique Ansel. Densely gooey cookies? It's got to be Levain Bakery. If that doesn't have you checking the LIRR schedules, there's something wrong with you.
The tiny city in the United States' smallest state has a bustling bakery scene. Here, you'll find traditional Italian sweets on the North side of the city, get a cannoli at Scialo Bros. Bakery, and bakeries throughout the city using fresh, local ingredients. Bread fans can't miss Seven Stars Bakery.
Forget the coffee; okay grab a cup it is Seattle, but afterwards focus on the sweets. Have you ever had sourdough Pain de champagne? You need to and you can get it at Columbia City Bakery. Chocolate lovers can't miss the double baked chocolate croissants at Bakery Nouveau and if you're picky about your treats, the husband and wife team behind La Parisienne will custom bake you basically anything.

A national anti-slavery march has taken place through Birmingham City Centre to protest slavery in Libya.
The peaceful protest, organised by the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist (CPGB-ML), sought to raise awareness of the enslavement and torture of black Africans.
The political organisation, which was founded in 2004, seeks to 'bring an end to NATO and British government support for Libya's slave trading'.
Reuben, 26, who spent four years in the army, spoke of the 'lack of power' in Libya after the end of Muammar Gaddafi's regime and said: "Under Gaddafi, Libya was a really progressive government and the standards of living at that time were one of the best on the African continent.
"Now because of British and NATO intervention, unfortunately we have this situation in Libya which is a complete mess.
Reuben added: "What I hope for is to send the message to the government 'no more interventionism in other countries' affairs.
"This is what our government have caused.
They are complicit in what's happening in Libya right now. The slavery, the tragedy, the humanitarian crisis".

About Four-stroke engine
Four Stroke Cycle Engines. A four-stroke cycle engine is an internal combustion engine that utilizes four distinct piston strokes (intake, compression, power, and exhaust) to complete one operating cycle. The piston make two complete passes in the cylinder to complete one operating cycle.
Intake stroke: The piston moves downward to the bottom, this increases the volume to allow a fuel-air mixture to enter the chamber.
Compression stroke: The intake valve is closed, and the piston moves up the chamber to the top. This compresses the fuel-air mixture. At the end of this stroke, a spark plug provides the compressed fuel with the activation energy required to begin combustion.
Power Stroke: As the fuel reaches the end of it's combustion, the heat released from combusting hydrocarbons increases the pressure which causes the gas to push down on the piston and create the power output.
Exhaust stroke: As the piston reaches the bottom, the exhaust valve opens. The remaining exhaust gas is pushed out by the piston as it moves back upwards.
What are four stroke engines used for?
The four-stroke engine is the most common types of internal combustion engines and is used in various automobiles (that specifically use gasoline as fuel) like cars, trucks, and some motorbikes
Why is 4 stroke engine better?
Two-stroke engines don't live as long as four-stroke engines. The lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine wear-out faster. Two-stroke engines require a mix of oil in with the gas to lubricate the crankshaft, connecting rod and cylinder walls.
.Working Principle: Using methanol as fuel. The process of moving from one end of the cylinder to the other when the piston reciprocates within the cylinder is called a stroke
.The four-stroke engine is divided into an intake stroke, a compression stroke, a power stroke and an exhaust stroke

Book Review: The Perfect Wife by: JP Delaney
by Stuart Conover · Published July 29, 2019 · Updated July 20, 2021
Title: The Perfect Wife
Author: JP Delaney
Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller
Publisher: Penguin Random House – Ballantine Books
Release Date: August 6th, 2019
Synopsis: Abbie awakens in a daze with no memory of who she is or how she landed in this unsettling condition. The man by her side claims to be her husband. He's a titan of the tech world, the founder of one of Silicon Valley's most innovative start-ups. He tells Abbie that she is a gifted artist, an avid surfer, a loving mother to their young son, and the perfect wife. He says she had a terrible accident five years ago and that, through a huge technological breakthrough, she has been brought back from the abyss.
She is a miracle of science.
But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins questioning her husband's motives—and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together forever? And what really happened to Abbie half a decade ago?
Beware the man who calls you . .
Are cyborgs our future? Are they machines or if we build them in our image do we automatically give them a soul? Surely if you kick a Roomba he makes nothing of it, but what if you impose relationship on a cyborg that has 'feelings' or at least is programmed to feel just like you do? The legendary Isaac Asimov's first law of robotics is that a robot would never injure a human. But what if it's the other way around? These ethical questions are just some that rise from "The Perfect Wife", JP Delaney's latest book.
Is "The Perfect Wife" a thriller? Is it Sci-Fi? Maybe Psychological? The book seems to escape standard definitions, which gives it immediately that X-factor. The certain fact is that the author uses this novel to teach us about autism, its related stigmatism and ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis – a method trying to embed "normal" behaviour to autistic patients), subjects which are no doubtfully close to his heart, and thus making this a rather educational experience as well as an entertaining one.
Tim Scott is a multi-millionaire Silicon Valley founder of an AI robotics company. He has built a 'Cobot' (Companion Robot) to replicate his wife Abbie Cullen-Scott, who disappeared five years before, presumed dead. The story is told from Abbie the robot's point of view, who had been uploaded the memories of the real Abbie through social media, videos and pictures, and her brain was built in a way which is meant to "fill in the gaps", by using her deductive AI abilities.
The story shifts between timelines, making narrative not altogether straightforward, and leaving confusion between someone who is telling us the alternate story of Abbie and Tim's history. The couple also have a ten-year-old autistic son Danny who is the source of much tension and is essential to the development of the plotline. The more we read about Danny's autism 'outbreak' the more we learn about Tim & Abbie's marriage, which is far from the utopian relationship that everyone imagines.
This is a compelling story, well written by an experienced author. However, there were a lot of problematic points which disturbed me personally, as a critical reader. I'll endeavour to point these without giving away too much of the plot:
Abbie disappeared, so the upload of her memories is done from social media etc. If this is the case, how can she remember other events? How can she possibly know all of a sudden what Tim had told her during their wedding in India, as an example. The readers are intelligent, and the author should have sorted this issue, and not just hand the reader a "black hole" of data, expecting us to think nothing of it.
The second main issue lies within the story's characters: while it is apparent that Tim is more sinister than he seems from the start – his true nature is even worst than you'd suspect. This is revealed only later in the story, which is very implausible, given how intelligent Abbie is. In comparison – while real Abbie is this cool-surfer artist who 'rebels' against society's norms, Cobot Abbie is an eager to please wife. That simply didn't cut the mustard for me. Besides, these are the only two complex characters in the novel, while everyone else has a sketch of a personality, nothing too deep. This makes it a bit unbelievable as the story reaches its climax, and the necessity of these supporting characters is discovered.
Addressing again the issue of autism. I salute the author of finding a fictional-comparable situation to autism, via AI beings. This was a clear well thought of paradigm, which makes readers who know nothing about autism or mind degenerative syndromes to relate and understand the issues which parents to autistic children face their entire lives. The author himself addresses this in his afterword.
In conclusion, "The Perfect Wife" is a very interesting idea, written well enough, but story-wise its execution did not live up to its promise. There should have been at least 100 more pages to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of how the Abbie-bot was devised, and who are Tim's friends and staff. Eager to get this out, I think the author missed the target completely. The one silver lining is that the ending as it is, as well as the mortality of the robots and the subject of AI, mean that a sequel may very well be just around the corner. Given the ethical issues that the book slightly touches and the constant technological progress in real life – I can certainly see one in the near future.
I've never read a JP Delaney book before, clearly a gifted author. However, this book for me is still a draft that should have been edited more, especially when it comes to the story.
You can order 'The Perfect Wife' on Amazon.

After almost a decade of average and below-average results, the team from Koševo obviously needed to freshen up. Management of the club tried to solve this by hiring a new coach Vukašin Višnjevac, a former player of Sarajevo FC who had turned to coaching after his playing career ended prematurely. In addition to the changes on the bench, there were no major changes in the squad. The club was abandoned mostly by players who were not in the foreground, and the only newcomer was Srebrenko Repčić, who came from Sloga from Doboj. In addition to Repčić, three players from the junior team were given the opportunity to play in the coming season - Nijaz Merdanović, Salko Nikšić and Abdulah Oruč, and on several occasion during season they were joined by the then-junior player Predrag Pašić. Together with Sulejman Demir who returned from the army and the best players from last season, Edhem šljivo and Safet Sušić, it was the team which was expected to finally play a season in which it would not fear for its survival in the league until the last round. First, they overran Vardar with 3-1, only to defeat OFK Belgrade at the same stadium just seven days later. The final score was 6-0, and captain Edhem Šljivo played one of the best games of his career, blasting three balls to the net of the guests from Belgrade. After two initial victories, Sarajevo FC recorded only three triumphs in the remaining 15 spring rounds, all three of them at Koševo and with minimum scores (2-1 against Olimpija, 1-0 against Rijeka and 3-2 against Radnički). Sarajevo FC had as many draws in matches played at Koševo. Games against Velež and Hajduk were goalless, while the city derby with Željezničar ended with 2-2. Višnjevac's team continued its decline in the standings throughout the half-season, from the first place after the second round Sarajevo FC ended 13th at the end of autumn half-season.
Preparations for the spring half-season were conducted in Borike near Rogatica. Severe inflammation of the joints prevented Sušić from returning to the field. Repčić and Heto replaced Sušić as right wingers until the end of the season but this was not the only replacement in the team. In addition to Sušić, Višnjevac could not count on another standard first team player Zoran Lukić, who had to do his military service. Fahrija Dautbegović, a former goalkeeper for Dinamo and the Yugoslav national football team, came from Olimpija and immediately put on the number one jersey. Spring part of the season for Sarajevo FC opened with two matches, a draw against Vardar in Skopje and a defeat by OFK Belgrade at Karaburma. Alarms went off at Koševo and the players finally woke up and returned to the form after the start of the season. This was followed by a spectacular sequence of nine games, in which the bordeaux team suffered only one defeat at Kantrida in the 25th round, while the remaining eight games ended as five wins and three draws. In the 27th round, Vukašin Višnjevac's team defeated Željeznicar at Grbavica, followed by Red Star in the following round at Koševo, propelling Sarajevo FC to the eighth place in the standings, so all fans of the Bordeaux club could finally heave a sigh of relief without having to worry about survival in the league.
However, the 1975/1976 season will not go down in history as one in the series of not-so-successful seasons owing to the junior team from Koševo. The junior team of Sarajevo FC achieved its biggest success in the former Yugoslavia by winning the Yugoslav Youth Cup. In the final game played in Belgrade on May 25th 1976, young players from Koševo won 3-1 against their peers from Vardar, bringing Sarajevo FC its most important youth trophy yet.
Sarajevo FC opened new season as the youngest team in the Championship, since the first team was joined by no less than five youngsters, Pašić, Vidaković, Milak, Bešović and Hodžić, as well as former junior player Hadžibegić. Sarajevo FC started the championship weakened by the absence of its two most important players, Safet Sušić, who was still recovering from the disease and Edhem Šljivo who went to Kruševac to do his military service, while Sulejman Demir and Ranko Petković had left the team. The weakened team led by Vukašin Višnjevac scored only two points in the first four rounds after draws with OFK Belgrade at Grbavica and Olimpija in Ljubljana and defeats by Budućnost from Podgorica and Radnički from Niš. The fifth involved the city derby with Željezničar. The blue ones from Grbavica had an identical start as Sarajevo FC, with two draws and two defeats keeping them stuck at the bottom of the table. Therefore, the duel of the two old rivals and former champions, attracted more attention than usual.
After a convincing triumph in the city derby, Sarajevo FC remained undefeated in the next two games, scoring two draws, first with Čelik at Bilino Polje followed by the home game against Dinamo, although Sarajevo FC enjoyed a 2-1 advantage until the 85th minute and the penalty kick converted into a goal by Dinamo's Jovičević. A series of games without defeat continued in the Cup match, and Red Star played at Koševo in 1/16 finals. By the end of the half-season, Sarajevo FC offered mixed performance, with three wins and two draws at Koševo, while all four away matches ended in defeats for the bordeaux team which ended up 14th in the standings, with the same number of points at the end of the autumn season. Before the holiday break, however, Sarajevo FC played two matches in the most popular domestic competition. Partizan came to Koševo and returned home with three goals in its net, confirming its standing among the top eight teams in the Cup. In the quarterfinals, Sarajevo FC tested its mettle in a game against Budućnost from Titograd, and, after 120 minutes of exciting playing, it ended with a home win of 3-2. For Sarajevo FC, it meant fighting on only one front, that of the Championship, in order to remain in the company of the best.
Sarajevo FC opened spring half-season by defeat at Karaburma, followed by three games without defeat. Olimpija (2-0) and Radnički (1-0) were defeated at Koševo and in between these two games one point was won in Titograd with 1-1 score. In the next six games, there were only two away draws against Dinamo and Hajduk, while in the four remaining games, the bordeaux team footballers left the field with their heads bowed. In just three days, Sušić's goals brought four valuable points to his team. First, he scored the only goal of the minimal victory game Sarajevo FC played with Rijeka, as well as two goals in the remaining match with Vojvodina, ending in 2-0 victory. With these two wins, Sarajevo FC jumped to the thirteenth place in the standings.
The summer of 1977 brought several changes among the players and the coaching staff. After two seasons on the bench of Sarajevo FC, Vukašin Višnjevac resigned from his coaching post and went to Velež, while his first assistant Fuad Muzurović sat in his place. The only change in the squad had to do with the goalkeeper. Both first goalkeepers left the club. Dautbegović went to Iskra from Bugojno, while Ekmečić went abroad, namely in Austria. They were replaced by two novice players, Radoslav Bebić from Proleter and Miloš Đurkovic from Glasinac. Young team, which was more experienced after a year, was joined by another junior player, Mehmed Janjoš, while captain Edhem Šljivo returned from the army. In the fourth round, former coach of Sarajevo FC, Višnjevac, showed up at Koševo, leading his new team Velež which returned home from the biggest stadium in Bosnia and Herzegovina with 4 conceded goals. Brilliant victory of 4-2 was achieved with the help of two goals scored by Savić, and two goals by Sušić and Šljivo respectfully. It was an indication of a great series of results, i.e. four successive victories in the Championship and the Cup. After Velež, there came 2-0 victory against Čelik at Bilino Polje, and the scorer of both goals was Repčić. In the next seven days, Srebrenko Repčić continued to score goals, first in the Cup match against Budućnost, with Vidaković and Hodžic bringing 3-1 victory for Sarajevo FC, which was repeated with identical score four days later, at Koševo, against the same opponent.
By the end of the half-season, Sarajevo FC offered mixed performance, ending up tenth with 15 points in the standings at the end of the first part of the season. However, the autumn of 1977 was marked by Safet Sušić, who had his first two appearances in the uniform of the Yugoslav national team in October and November. In the first game played while wearing blue jersey, Sušić scored two goals against Hungarians and three against Romanians, leaving the whole country fascinated and drawing attention to the entire young team of Sarajevo FC, whom everyone predicted a bright future. The team was abandoned mostly by players who were no longer in the forefront, like Dupovac, Tešan, Lubura, Oruč, Bešović, Hamzić i Nikšić, while Agim Nikolić arrived from lower league club Vratnik. Preparations for the spring half-season were conducted on Jahorina and the coaching staff concluded that Sarajevo FC entered the second half of the season stronger and better prepared compared to the first one. In addition to Jahorina, Sarajevo FC team went on a mini tour to Syria at the end of January.
As the first spring game was played in December, the half-season was opened by an away game against Rijeka at Kantrida. The hosts had a two-goal advantage, but goals scored by Savić and Šljivo annulled it, so Sarajevo FC returned home with one point. Savić's goal announced the spring of brilliant performance, with 14 goals scored in 16 games, which, along with seven goals from the first part of the season made him the top scorer of the League. For the second time in its history and the first time since legendary Hase in 1963, Sarajevo FC had the top scorer of the League. Savić played brilliant half- season and his goals left the team at ease, since the club from Koševo stayed in the middle of the table without having to worry about survival. This smallish striker masterfully utilized the fact that he had Sušić and Šljivo of the Yugoslav national team behind his back, who tirelessly provided assists which he relentlessly turned into goals. He was especially impressive in the matches against OFK Belgrade and Osijek, in which he scored three goals, and in duels with Čelik and Trepča, in which he scored two goals. Five wins and five draws, along with six defeats in sixteen games during spring, left Sarajevo FC at ninth place, but also indicated that the young team from Koševo was becoming more mature and ready for the greatest achievements.
The first round of the new season brought the city derby with Željezničar. It was the first derby for Sarajevo FC after a break of a year and a half, since Željezničar spent the last season in the Second League. 35,000 people gathered at Koševo on that day, eager to see the duel of two city rivals and the fans of the bordeaux team returned home much happier. Sarajevo FC played a great game, and goals scored by the forward duo Pašić - Sušić spelled an end for neighbors from Grbavica, bringing victory of 2-0. Second round and a guest appearance of Dinamo brought the first defeat of the season, and the additional problem was red card for Safet Sušić, who had to miss the third-round match against Radnički from Niš. Even without Sušić, Sarajevo FC scored a 2-1 victory and played a very good match in Banja Luka in the next round, bringing it much closer to victory. Victory at home and an away defeat was pretty much the pattern of Sarajevo FC performance in the next few rounds, followed by a brilliant string of five games without defeat from 12th to 16th round. Thanks to Sušić's genius Partizan suffered a 2-1 defeat at Kosevo and the scorer of both goals was the player in bordeaux jersey number seven. Seven days later, Red Star was another Belgrade team which was forced to lay down its arms. Sarajevo FC returned from Marakana with a full score, due to a minimum victory achieved owing to Mehmed Janjoš's goal in the 65th minute of the match. This was followed by two more home wins against Budućnost and Olmpija at Koševo and an away draw in Kruševac between these two games. This brilliant performance and nine points propelled Sarajevo FC to the top of the table, so team from Koševo ended up second in the standings after the last autumn, with just one point behind leading Dinamo. Sarajevo FC ended fifth after the autumn part of the season.
Spring half-season for the Bordeaux team did not start according to expectations held by coach Muzurović and most fans of Sarajevo FC. Defeats at Grbavica and Čair and the one at the hands of Dinamo at Koševo saw Sarajevo FC dropping to the seventh place in the standings. When it seemed that all chances of qualifying for the UEFA Cup were lost, the bordeaux team had a new series of five matches without defeat, managing to score five wins this time. On the wings of brilliant Sušić and Repčić, there came victory against Borac at Koševo (5-1), an away victory against Osijek (1-0), Velež (2-1), Vojvodina in Novi Sad (4-3) and Rijeka (3-1). This was followed by another, third string of five games without defeat. This time there were two draws, with Red Star and Partizan, and three wins, out of which the one achieved at the Podgorica City stadium in Gorica was of special significance.
Together with Red Star, Budućnost was a direct competitor to Sarajevo FC for the third place, but another fantastic performance of national team player Sušić brought much-needed points for Sarajevo FC. Pape scored hat-trick, his first in the bordeaux shirt, while Savic scored another one for a fantastic 4-1 score. In the next round, Sušić was also a scorer in the match against Napredak at Koševo. This time, he scored only one goal, alongside those scored by Avdić and Repčić for a 3-1 victory. So, the team from Koševo found itself in excellent position two rounds before the end, ending third with two point advantage over the fourth-ranked Red Star and having virtually everything in hand. However, Sarajevo FC failed in the most critical moment. First came an away defeat in Ljubljana. Olimpija was better and it celebrated a 3-1 victory, while Sarajevo FC suffered new defeat in the last round. In a match deciding on the new champion, Sarajevo FC faced Hajduk. Since the players from Split entered the last round with the same number of points as Dinamo, but with a much better goal difference, it was clear that they prefer only one result, a victory. With the copious help from referee Mađoski, Hajduk triumphed and won the champion title, and, apart from several ridiculous decisions of a trio of referees, the match was marked by incidents in the stand caused by the fans of the visiting team. Sarajevo FC thus ended fourth at the end, with just two points behind the third-ranked Red Star which qualified for the UEFA Cup. The first name of the season was definitely Safet Sušić, who, with 15 scored goals, was the best scorer of the team from Koševo and the third best scorer in the entire championship.
After the end of the season, Sarajevo FC went on a seven-day tour of Spain in late June. On this mini tour of the Iberian Peninsula, Sarajevo FC played three games with the Spanish major league teams, scoring two wins and one draw. The first of these was played against Almeria in the match with plenty of goals and the final score of 5-5. In addition to Almeria, Sarajevo FC played against Malaga (3-2 victory for Sarajevo FC) and Gijon (2-0), after which the bordeaux team returned to Yugoslavia. Fuad Muzurović received much praise in Spain and everyone was delighted by the Sarajevo FC performance, in particular the virtuosity of one man, Safet Sušić. It was the match against Almeria in which Sušić played one of his best games of his life. He scored three goals, and provided assistance to Hadžibegić and Hodžić with two more, playing with such an ease so it seemed that he could do whatever he wished that night. Due to Pape's great performance in the duel with Almeria, 15,000 local fans applauded him for several minutes after the match. Upon return, the team started with the preparations for the new season. As the beginning of the season drew near, tensions slowly receded and Sarajevo FC turned its focus on upcoming games in the new championship, with only one goal of playing in the European competition.
For this purpose, two new players were recruited. Experienced player Slobodan Janjus became goalkeeper, joined by Husref Musemić, young main striker from Radnik from Bijeljina. In the first round Sarajevo FC played an away game in traditionally unpredictable Niš. Sarajevo FC had hitherto celebrated only once at Čair, and the tradition continued with this match as well, so the host team scored a minimal win. Nevertheless, initial impression was improved in the next two games, with a 3-0 victory against Vardar and 1-0 against Čelik in Zenica, and Sušić being the sole scorer. Fourth round brought a huge surprise, with Napredak from Kruševac facing the bordeaux team as an absolute favorite at Koševo. However, Muzurović's players did not perform as expected, so the guests used this to their advantage and scored a 1-0 victory. After this unexpected defeat, Sarajevo FC started a series of seven consecutive matches without defeat. A draw at Kantrida, victory against Budućnost in Titograd and a draw with Partizan at Koševo were an excellent introduction to a string of four consecutive victories. Motivated Sušić was particularly brilliant in these matches. He scored two goals in 3-2 away victory against Osijek, followed by one goal alongside Avdić's in the victory game against Sloboda at Koševo. He was also the scorer of one of the two goals in the match in Banja Luka, ending with a 2- 0 victory. The series ended with a minimal victory over Velež, which sent Sarajevo FC to the second place in the standings. This brilliant string was ended after the defeat by Olimpija in Ljubljana, followed by victories over Vojvodina and Red Star at Koševo, and a draw against Željezničar at Grbavica. The victory over Red Star propelled Sarajevo FC to the top of the table, just two rounds before the end of the autumn half-season. In the last two rounds, the team from Koševo achieved mixed results, with a defeat in Split, followed by the triumph against Dinamo at Koševo. Thanks to another superb performance by Safet Sušić Sarajevo FC managed to defeat guests from Zagreb. Goals scored by Vidović and Hadžibegić along with two goals by Sušić earned Sarajevo FC a victory of 4-2 and the title of the autumn champion of Yugoslavia. Sarajevo FC welcomed the winter break as the leader in the standings and a great result was achieved in the Cup, in which the bordeaux team's victories over Rijeka and Radnički from Kragujevac qualified it for the quarterfinals of this biggest competition. Great results achieved in the autumn of 1979 provided the fans of the bordeaux team with the hope that the dream of repeating success of 1967 might come true and everyone wanted Sarajevo FC to become champion of Yugoslavia for the second time. Certainly, the biggest advantage of Sarajevo FC was splendid Sušić, whom all Yugoslav sport magazines named the best player of 1979, while he ranked at solid 15th place in the selection of the best European player.
As usual, the autumn champion gathered strength for the second half of the season and the battle for two trophies in the mountains around Sarajevo. Indeed, the second half of the season started like a dream, with a victory against Radnički from Niš as a runner-up in the standings. The score was 2-0, with goals scored by Nijaz Ferhatović and Sušić. Three days later, the competitions in the Cup of Yugoslavia continued, and Sarajevo FC faced Sloboda on its way to the semifinals. Goals scored by Sušić, Pašić and Hadžibegić allowed the bordeuax team to successfully overcome this obstacle and find itselef among the top four teams in this competition. After draw with Vardar in Skopje, Čelik played as the guest team at Kosevo. Match with team from Zenica started brilliantly, with Pašić scoring two goals in the first 12 minutes and securing a 2-0 for his team. Everything pointed to a new victory for staying at the top of the table. Yet, by the end of the first half, Čelik scored one goal as well as an equalizing goal in the 85th minute, returning from Koševo with one point. The point lost close to the end of the match obviously demoralized players, and after the match with Čelik, Sarajevo FC lost its leading position in the standings to Red Star, which kept it for the rest of the championship. After the next round, Zvezda already increased its advantage, since Sarajevo FC lost the second match with Napredak in this season. Yet, the team from Koševo did not give up the fight for the title, but Fuad Muzurovicć's team first had to play very important semi-finals match of the Yugoslav Cup with Red Star at Koševo. After 120 minutes, neither team was able to score a goal, which was followed by penalty shootout. 40,000 Sarajevo FC fans placed their trust in their favorite players, who were expected to reach the finals, but two best players of Sarajevo FC, Sušić and Pašić failed to hit the net, i.e. young Red Star goalkeeper Ljukovčan defended their kicks, so his team celebrated a 4-1 victory after the penalty shootout and reached the Cup finals.
However, following a negative string of three consecutive defeats, first at the hands of Vojvodina in Novi Sad, followed by those against Željezničar at Koševo and Red Star at Marakana, Sarajevo FC was left without the title, while red-white team from Belgrade secured it mathematically two rounds before the end owing to their victory over Sarajevo FC, which lost its second place. In the last two rounds, however, victory against Hajduk and draw with Dinamo in Zagreb were sufficient for Sarajevo FC to return to the second place and secure the flattering title of the vice champion of Yugoslavia for season 1979/1980.


A while back, I had a journal entry mentioning that Crichton was coming out with 2 movies, but Airframe wasn't coming out. This fellow from New Zealand was kind enough to email me this link. I find this interesting, because if someone does a search on Google for "timeline movie" my site is around number 8 or 9 on the list. apparently that is how this guy found me. That Google is crazy!

Originally founded by the Phoenicians in 770 BC, Malaga is considered one of the first cities of the Western world, even though it is undeniable that the Muslims were the most important influence in the city, as they stayed in Malaga during almost 800 years. The Alcazaba, a fortress-palace built in the early 11th century, stands today where its first Phoenician settlement was built.
Beside the entrance of the Alcazaba are the ruins of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BC, which are undergoing restoration. As many other cultures, some of the Roman era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba.
Malaga obtained the benefits of being declared a confederated city of Rome.
Under the rule of the Moors, the city enjoyed an era of great progress. However, in 1487 it was re-conquered by the Catholic Monarchs, following which it fell into some relentless decline.
By the end of the 18th century, beginning of the 19th, a high-class bourgeoisie had been formed, comprised mainly of two families: the Larios and the Heredia, thanks to whom Malaga became the second most important industrial centre in the country.
Converted into a world capital of tourism, thanks to the development of the Costa del Sol, today Malaga continues to grow.

Hello all! I know I'm not a member on this site but would anyone be willing to private message with me? I'm not so comfortable posting my cousin story on here. Thank you!
I'm a mod here, and as far as I know, other than contacting one of us or the admins, I don't know how a guest would pm a member. Without your being a member, I'm not sure I could reply, other than perhaps by e-mail, which I rarely check.
Personally, I would encourage you to join, and share your story. You are (provided you do as recommended, and pick a random user name, and not your actual name, or the actual names of the other parties involved) quite anonymous here. As a mod, I can have a little peek and see where you are, but I only do so to see what State/Country you are in to try to determine your legal status. I can't see where your home address is, or anything as detailed as that, though it will always give a city. I take that with a grain of salt as well, because it shows me in the city either to the north of me or the one to the west of me. It doesn't matter anyhow. Which State is how the laws are varied. We aren't lawyers, and don't give legal advice, but, we do have a pretty good handle on the various laws, convoluted as they sometimes are.
If you're still nervous, create an account, and send me a pm. I'm not as active as I once was, but I do check in briefly at least every other day or so, even if I don't have time to log in and stay a while. I'm trying to talk myself into taking a few days off work to catch my breath, so, if you would like, I will take time to actually log in, and see if you have tried to contact me. I won't guarantee I will give you the advice you want to hear. I will do my best to give you the advice you need to hear. I've been flattered (and thereby, humbled) by other members for my advice at times. I've also laid a couple eggs in my time here. I like to say I'm not so good at telling you what to do specifically, but, at my age, and with all the crazy "stuff" I've done, I like to think I'm pretty good at telling you what NOT to do. :evil: There are many many members who create an account, and never post their story openly, or post anything, for that matter.
Do not be scared of becoming a member here. You are anonymous here. You will, unless you choose otherwise at some later date, remain anonymous here. I have been here several years now, and have never openly said even my first name here, and have only once given a veiled reference to it in a reply to a member. A couple of the other mods and perhaps a couple of the admins know my name, but they're not talking either. :wink: I have said before, and I will openly repeat here again, I personally will destroy my hard drive and face the music for doing so, before I EVER release any confidential information I have about our members here. We've pretty much heard it all. Personally, I seriously doubt there's anything you would tell me that would shock me. I've lived an "interesting" life, lets say, and pretty much seen and done it all. At 53, I'm starting to physically pay for it now, but, If I die in my sleep tonight, I've had more fun than most people will ever be able to have if they live to be 106.
Thanks so much for responding Hawk. From what I've seen on here you give some of the best advice and I definitely need someone to tell me what I don't necessarily want to hear. My cousin just has me scared that a certain family member might harm themselves if they found out and I just don't want to hurt anyone. I am going to try and get my thoughts together and see if I can't post my story on here.


Everyone's under a lot of stress, just keeping up with all the responsibilities of work and/or school, family and—if you're lucky—juggling an active social life. It's easy to fall into the trap of negativity, and react with complaints or criticisms to what's happening around you. When you want to "blow off steam" you might actually be making things harder for yourself. It can be hard to influence others, so start with the one person you have total control over: you.
Even if you're not feeling happy, generous, open, or positive, you might find it's hard to keep that bad mood going if you put a smile on your face. When someone walks by you, make eye contact and flash them a grin, whether you know them or not. They might not understand why you're doing it, but you've just changed the dynamic in your environment. That positive energy might come back to you later in the day!
Writing things down forces you to pay attention. So take 5 minutes out of your day and write down something you've learned recently, to remind yourself the value of what you're doing at work or school. If you can't think of anything, then write down what you'd like to learn—concepts and ideas or specific strategies and skills. Look over these lists and you'll have something to feel proud of!
It's easier to make a change if you spend time with people who already practice the behavior you're trying to learn. Do you hang out with friends or coworkers who judge, critique, and complain? Seek out someone who has nice things to say, and instead of sharing your criticisms, listen to how they talk.
Gossip is especially destructive in the workplace. It might seem like a tempting distraction, but it feeds negativity that impacts everyone in the environment.
When you're tempted to be harsh or judgmental, take a step back. Remember that you have unpleasant traits, too, and keep quiet with your negativity. Maybe you'll find something nice to say about someone you normally wouldn't notice.
It doesn't take much to make someone else's day, and small considerations can improve your outlook, too. Compliments are always nice, if they're genuine. If that person in the parking lot wants the space, let them have it this time. If someone needs to cut in front of you in traffic, make space for them. Hold the door for the person behind you coming into the coffee shop. Or even just text a friend that you're thinking about them. Do this at least a couple times a day, and you'll start to see even more opportunities for kindness.
If you can take some of these tips to heart in the coming week, you might see and feel a difference—and also notice that others have a different response to you as well!

US begins expelling Haitian migrants who set up makeshift camp on southern border in Texas
FELIX MARQUEZ/AP
EDS NOTE: NUDITY - Migrants, many from Haiti, wade across the Rio Grande from Del Rio, Texas, to return to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021, to avoid deportation to Haiti from the U.S. The U.S. is flying Haitians camped in a Texas border town back to their homeland and blocking others from crossing the border from Mexico in a massive show of force that signals the beginning of what could be one of America's swiftest, large-scale expulsions of migrants or refugees in decades. (AP Photo/Felix Marquez)
DEL RIO, Texas — The U.S. has begun flying Haitians who were camped in a Texas border town back to their homeland and trying to block others from crossing the border from Mexico.
It's a massive show of force that signals the beginning of what could be one of America's swiftest, large-scale expulsions of migrants or refugees in decades.
Three flights with 145 passengers each arrived in Port-au-Prince, and Haiti said six flights were expected on Tuesday.
In all, U.S. authorities moved to expel many of the more 12,000 migrants camped around a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, after crossing from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico.
The Haitian migrants have been dealing with scorching temperatures and a lack of food and water, KENS-TV in San Antonio reports.
The migrants were seeking refuge in the U.S. from rampant poverty, gang violence and a string of natural disasters.
In August, the island suffered a massive 7.2 magnitude earthquake that killed thousands of people and caused catastrophic damage. Days later, Tropical Storm Grace swept over the island, hampering rescue efforts and causing more issues to infrastructure.
"There's no safety in Haiti, and there's no work," Rolin Petit Homme, a 35-year old Haitian who had camped out under the bridge, told CNBC. He said he planned to stay in Mexico.

Last week I was on an exhibition in Austria, so I was offline the whole week. I try to answer all support emails as soon as possible.
I am working still to get my Pixopolus Template Version 2.1 published on wrapbootstrap.com. I am sorry for the delay again.
Aside this, my Website needs a serious redesign, because the new WordPress Version did mess up my current design, and its about time to make my own Page responsible for any devices.
I hope everyone had a nice Summer!

The 5 Craziest Reality Shows From Around The World
14 Inspiring Ways People Are Trying To Improve, Well, Everything
5 Foreign Reality Shows That Put American Ones To Shame
Raoni Lacerda ·

Toddlers And Tiaras, Real Housewives Of Bel Air, that episode of Flavor Of Love where Flavor Flav watches a woman shit on the floor -- America is the best at making the worst reality TV shows. But that's disregarding the can-do spirit of other countries. While America might have found the bottom of the reality show barrel, the rest of the world scraped it clean, and might have put a bunch of human rights violations on the air in the process. For example ...
Iraq's Put Him In Bucca Punked Celebrities With Fake Terrorist Threats
Some folks think of Iraq as an eternal Call Of Duty stage full of nothing but terrorists, car bombs, and soldiers with itchy trigger fingers. But that's forgetting about all the regular Iraqi people -- decent, hard-working folks who have to spend every day in fear of terrorists, car bombs, and soldiers with itchy trigger fingers. And like the rest of us, all they want is to get home, sit down, turn on the TV, and watch a wacky reality TV prank show about terrorists, car bombs, and soldiers with itchy trigger fingers.
Put Him In Bucca was named after Camp Bucca, the dreaded American prison for terrorists and, save Atlanta, the most horrific place imaginable to host a reality show. The show played out like Punk'd, whereby the host would drive around with unwitting celebs and prank them during the trip. But instead of having Zach Braff beat up a child or making Justin Timberlake cry, this show pulled only a single prank, with a very Iraqi twist: They put a fake makeshift bomb in the victim's car, then had them drive through a military checkpoint. LOL.
Of course, the (very real) soldiers would do their best to terrify, with alarms ringing and gun barrels thrust in faces. It seems like it has to be staged to avoid copious lawsuits and potential murders, but it's hard to claim the victims were in on it when you see them running from the soldiers, afraid they're about to get cut in half by a machine gun.
Al-Baghdadia TVCue "Yakety Sax"!
The show received a lot of complaints from both viewers and the press. Iraqis protested the show on social media, and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann called the producers "the world's worst." The producers defended Put Him In Bucca, claiming, "The show is an educational one ... so that they are alert and check their cars before getting in," and further asserting that getting people to laugh at al-Qaeda is a victory over terrorism.
Even the celebrity victims were all incredibly good sports about it. One later said, "I could've died, but it's all worth the sacrifice to make Iraqis laugh." Wow. Comedy is a game with far higher stakes over there.
10 Cracked Posts Everyone Went Nuts Over Last Week - 7/5
Britain's There's Something About Miriam Tricked Bros Into Dating A Trans Woman
The 2004 British show There's Something About Miriam featured the first-ever transgender dating show contestant. It could've been a great leap forward for trans people everywhere. It was not.
Over six episodes, six British party dudes fought for the affection of Mexican model Miriam Riviera aboard a party boat. But there was a twist: The show intentionally led the male contestants to believe Miriam was a cis woman instead of a pre-op trans woman. When it came time to hand out the final rose and take the last jello shot, the twist was finally revealed. All the dudes laughed hysterically at the winning bro, who refused the cash prize and hightailed it out of there.
But their laughter quickly turned into anger, and the contestants successfully sued the show, forcing it to shell out half a million pounds in damage. They claimed they were part of a sexual assault conspiracy, because they never gave consent to get their groove on with "a man." And that was a thing you could do in 2004 UK, because the British government didn't legally acknowledge transgender people until 2005.
Amazingly, the show's creator, Remy Blumenfeld, a longtime collaborator of Piers Morgan, still insists that trans people should thank him for his service, claiming that "just by casting a trans person in the title role, we were helping the audience to get to know one trans character very well. And while today, that in itself might not be groundbreaking, at the time it felt important." He also claims the only bigots involved were the contestants because they got so angry about getting tricked, and definitely not the creepy reality show producers trying to squeeze out some ratings by treating transgenderism as a punchline.
Why Are British Celebs Such Complete Jerks To Trans People?
China's Wonderful Friends Featured Celebrities Mistreating Zoo Animals
When Chinese producers pitched a reality show called Wonderful Friends, wherein celebrities would take care of zoo animals, it mixed three of China's favorite pastimes: famous people, cute animals, and serious rights violations.
Hunan TVPictured: a hare-brained mammal interacting with a capybara.
Wonderful Friends tracked a group of B-list Chinese stars as they interacted with a variety of exotic animals in a zoo. But the producers wanted to jazz things up a bit, by which we mean "engage in some dangerous animal cruelty." Participants were tasked with things like hugging a whale shark, giving pedicures to elephants, and dressing up monkeys in superhero outfits. And while that seems cute in theory, try not to forget that both animals and celebrities are known for impulsiveness, ill temper, and an utter lack of empathy.
Hunan TVLater, rhinoplasty on actual rhinos!
Zany little speech bubbles accompanied every horror, like the one that read "No more talk. Let's fight!" as a bear took a swing at a chimp, followed by the chimp chasing the bear with a bat. Another chimp plunged his teeth into an actress named Ni Ni and sent her to the hospital. After that, it didn't take long for Chinese animal rights activists to condemn Wonderful Friends, accusing them of being "hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals and [doing] so while putting their welfare and health at risk."
Hunan TV"If you don't Floss in the next five minutes, I'm personally grinding you into dog food."
After the ensuing groundswell of indignation, Wonderful Friends producers saw the error of their ways. The show was canceled, and their next venture was called We Are Friends. It featured no humans, just an adorable chimp named Miya and a French bulldog named DongDong who go on adventures. It was the target of a boycott after PETA Asia accused the show's trainers of beating and abusing the small animals so they would obey every whimsical demand. So basically, if you see a Chinese TV show featuring animals in cute outfits, it's safe to assume someone is violating ethics rules somehow.
The 5 Most Terrifying Zoo Exhibits Ever
India's Axe Ur Ex Put Dead Bodies In Your Ex's Trunk
Getting your heart broken is never easy, and the healing process differs from person to person. Some need to spend a few weeks crying on the couch and binge-watching Friends, while others need to chug a whole lot of liquor and fistfight a tree. For another select few, there's no getting over heartbreak until they get a reality show to put a body in their ex's trunk and call the police on them.
Channel V IndiaLet the healing begin.
India's Axe Ur Ex was a prank reality show for people who wanted to torture their cheating exes without the risk of jail time (probably). Hosted by what we'll assume is India's biggest douchebag, the show's setup was always the same. The host would introduce some heartbroken goober who simultaneously hated and couldn't get over their ex, and then the show would think up some downright criminal prank to restore their bruised ego.
Channel V India"If you make it through the bonus round, you get to walk away with three brand-new anxiety disorders."
The shenanigans ranged from wacky run-of-the-mill harassment, like hanging a banner in front of a girl's work that called her a gold-digging hussy ...
... to horrific staged police interrogations, where exes and their new beaus got slapped around by actors in cop uniforms and thought they were going to wind up in an unmarked grave in the wilderness.
Geez, what's wrong with renting a Ferrari and "casually" driving by your old flame's house a hundred times to make sure they see you? Sometimes the old ways are the best.
Uh, There Is Now An Xbox-Scented Axe Body Wash
Czechia's Holiday In The Protectorate Was Set During The Nazi Occupation
For a brief period there, historical reality shows were all the rage. The Czech Republic wanted to get in on the action, but what fascinating part of their proud historical legacy could potential contestants relive? The Holy Roman Empire? Artistic Bohemia during the 19th century? The 1938 Nazi occupation? It's the last one, isn't it?
Holiday In The Protectorate referenced the brief-lived Nazi puppet state Czechoslovakia was turned into from 1938 to 1945. And for two months in 2015, a family of reality show contestants relived it all. They were put in a remote backwater built to resemble the living conditions of a Nazi-occupied village. Not only did they have to do all the regular old-timey chores, like milk cows and churn butter, but they also had to build an air raid shelter and beg for rations while actors dressed like the Gestapo routinely kicked down their doors and searched the barn for rebels. If the family managed to survive two months under the yoke of fascism, they won $40,000. All in good fun!
Czech TelevisionThey also received an automatic pardon from the Hague for any war crimes they committed during the show.
The Times Of Israel summed up the problem pretty well: "Fortunately, for the family, they will not be treated like the 82,309 Jews who lived in the protectorate." Though another critic feared the exact opposite: "What are they going to do next? Big Brother Auschwitz?" We assume the producers chuckled at the suggestion at first, then said, "Actually ..."
Czech Television"I came here to be a Nazi, not to make friends."

Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, MyShelf.com columnist and author of THIS IS THE PLACE, HARKENING: A COLLECTION OF STORIES REMEMBERED, TRACINGS and THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER: HOW TO DO WHAT YOUR PUBLISHER WON'T with THE FRUGAL EDITOR: PUT YOUR BEST BOOK FORWARD TO AVOID HUMILIATION AND ENSURE SUCCESS to be released summer of 2007.
Madonna may think all girls wanna do is have a little fun, but writers know that all they wanna do is write.
And to do that, most of us need to write for profit. Veteran writer and editor Cheryl Wright to the rescue. Writing For Profit: Break into Magazines is a book firmly niched for writers who are tired of writing fiction by screen-glow at midnight and then trouncing off to the office for more, less creative screen duty early the next morning. It is a book that will be welcomed by the writing student who is taught writing technique but finds courses on the business of writing nonexistent or lacking.
It is also a book for people who are homebound -- stay at home mothers or fathers of young children, those who are physically challenged or ill, perhaps those with personality disorders who are looking for something productive and creative to build a career on. It is for people looking for a career that works from home.
The introduction -- sort of a mini-memoir by the author -- makes it very clear that writing is waiting to fill the bill. It also makes it clear that Wright is the person to tell these want to be writers how to do it. And that want to be is not said derogatorily. Bless all those who want to be writers. It is a glorious profession and Wright shows even naysayers that it can be done.
That makes Writing for Profit both a book of inspiration and a handy, basic, easy-to-follow handbook.
Especially good is Wright's extensive explanation of how query letters work -- a craft all its own and one that is essential for all writers who want to publish but especially those who will need to make a living at it. It is complete with basic suggestions for tracking queries. Wright includes some ideas that may even surprise seasoned freelancers. She even includes a sample release for models.
In other words, this is a small book full of the nitty-gritty information a writer needs with just enough encouragement (by example) to keep someone at it long enough to make a career in writing work.
Readers should know that Wright also offers Magazine Markets for Freelance Writers at no cost to those who purchase Writing for Profit. That is certainly a welcome and essential addition, a perfect package.
In the meantime, celebrate that Wright has written this book that can be read in an afternoon (well, OK, an afternoon and evening if you're underlining as I did!). Lacking a full course, it should be required reading for any student taking a course in nonfiction, magazine or freelance writing.
Carolyn Howard-Johnson also writes the "Back to Literature" column for MyShelf.com , movie reviews for the Glendale News-Press and was formerly with Good Housekeeping Magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune. THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER: HOW TO DO WHAT YOUR PUBLISHER WON'T won USA Book News' "Best Professional Book 2004." and the Irwin Award; her new book, THE FRUGAL EDITOR: PUT YOUR BEST BOOK FORWARD TO AVOID HUMILIATION AND ENSURE SUCCESS, would make a fine, practical companion to Writing for Profit.

Student support over the festive period
Alongside structural support services (for example student counselling and staff counselling) GCU also undertake projects across our institution and with external partners to provide a series of campaigns, events, and further enhance strategic approaches to support our students and staff.
Projects which are occurring across the institution are highlighted below. New proposal for projects, questions or feedback can be directed to the Project Officer for Student Mental Health.
Student Wellbeing Advisory Group
The Student Wellbeing Advisory Group is a cross-institutional working group and was formed in 2018 to continue working to support student mental health and wellbeing. The group features representation from across the GCU community, including academics, GCU London, GCU Students' Association and GCU London Students' Association. The group has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of GCU's Student Mental Health Action Plan.
Student Mind's University Mental Health Charter
In 2020, Glasgow Caledonian University were one of three Universities across the UK who were successfully selected to participate in Student Minds' University Mental Health Charter Accreditation Scheme. The Charter aims to recognise and benchmark best practice in supporting mental health across the country's HE institutions.
The project is ongoing, with the pilot aimed to be concluded and published by November 2020. You can find out more about the project here.
Any questions can be directed to the Project Officer for Student Mental Health.
Think Positive's Student Mental Health Agreement
Glasgow Caledonian University and GCU Students' Association recognise it's important to support students throughout their studies and enable them to have outstanding student experience. As such, we're working in partnership to continue the development of our Student Mental Health Agreement, which is published annually, and was initially developed in 2017. You can view the Students' Association information on the Student Mental Health Agreement at their website.
The Student Mental Health Agreement has been presented at various national conferences, and is reviewed, developed, and signed by the executive lead in both the University and the Students' Association for student wellbeing each academic year.
Some key outcomes from the creation of the agreement, is the Student Support Booklet, the re-introduction of the Scottish Mental Health First Aid Award, and partnership in promoting free mindfulness sessions for students.
You can read more about our student mental health agreements, and explore their developments through annual documentation and evaluation reports below.

Think Positive and BSV Research
Throughout 2019 and 2020, GCU were selected as one of four institutions to participate in national research with Think Positive about Student Mental Health at NUS Scotland, and BSV Associates on the wellbeing support available to students across Scotland. Information, alongside consultation of students across the sector were compiled into a report with outcomes and recommendations. The report will be made available on this webpage once it has been published.
2019 Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Award
In 2019 GCU and GCU Students' Association were successful in achieving the Healthy Body, Healthy Mind award. The awards are a partnership initiative between NUS Scotland and Scottish Student Sport, funded by the Scottish Government, which focus on the link between sports, physical activity, smoking prevention and mental health.
You can read more about the award here.
Mental Health at Work Task Force
GCU's Mental Health at work Taskforce is GCU's whole institutional approach to enhancing and supporting the health and wellbeing of our staff. The taskforce has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of GCU's Mental Health at Work Action Plan.
Inclusive Curriculum Design for Wellbeing
Building on our prior project looking at the Curricula, INCLUDE, GCU are now leading a collaborative cluster with colleagues across the sector (GCU Students' Association, Heriot-Watt University, University of Stirling and SPARQs) into inclusive curriculum design for wellbeing.
The project aims to develop the processes and tools that academic staff use to design curricula. This will help staff create teaching and learning environments that are inclusive and promote student mental wellbeing.
Contemporary Academic Advising & Mentoring (CAAM)
In 2017-18 GCU reviewed and revised their Academic Advising process through their CAAM Project (Contemporary Academic Advising & Mentoring). Key outcomes included a revision of the role and guidance for personal tutors, and additional online support for staff and students about the process.
Information about personal tutoring can be found here.
More information about the project can be found here.
Peer Supported Communities Project
The School of Health and Life Sciences in 2019 undertook a Peer Support Communities Pilot.
The pilot looked to provide targeted Placement Support for nursing students which aims to give students the opportunity to come together in small subject-based groups or communities to support and advise each other throughout their studies. Each PSC is made up of a maximum of around 8 students drawn from each year of the course who can meet as often as they like to exchange information, support each other but also to be a social group. The PSCs are student-led but everyone receives training and staff support the communities and members can ask for staff help and support at any time. Once the group is up-and-running a student will stay with that group throughout their studies and each year new first year students will join the group replacing those who have graduated.
Wellbeing Resources in the Sir Alex Ferguson Library
Throughout 2019 and 2020 the SAF Library have introduced the following resources: a wellbeing reading list, and collating Covid-19 Wellbeing Resources during lockdown.
A collaborative working group are also exploring the feasibility of introducing a dedicated space in the Sir Alex Ferguson library which would enhance student and staff wellbeing at a future date ( currently suspended due to government guidance/social distancing restrictions).


First off...where are your parents? Do they know? I agree with the other replies...tell someone, get counseling, and work on the solution to the problem now so it doesn't become a bigger one in the future. Good luck to you!


Apparently, the beef between Golden State Warriors teammates Kevin Durant and Draymond Green is still simmering.
The bad blood boiled during the Warriors' overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, 121-116, when the two jawed at each other after Green didn't give the ball to Durant in the last seconds and turned it over. Golden State then suspended Draymond without pay in their game against the Atlanta Hawks for conduct detrimental to the team when he reportedly called Kevin names.
Meanwhile, KD recently confirmed that they have yet to talk about the matter. He told ESPN, "I'm gonna keep that in-house. That's what we do here. I mean, obviously I know you guys got a job to do, but I'm not trying to give nobody no headlines. What happened, happened. We're trying to move on—just trying to play basketball."
While the rest of the NBA brought out their popcorn and were waiting for an ugly fallout from the threepeat-seeking champions, basketball personalities shared their thoughts on the situation.
Jalen Rose on Get Up!: "You have to give the ball to Kevin Durant. No question about it. The signature play for KD once he joined the Golden State Warriors is when he dribbled up the left side at Cleveland and he shot down LeBron James from 35 feet and made a three."
Max Kellerman on First Take: "I think they both have points of view. I understand it. I would say that ultimately, I agree with you Stephen A., game on the line, no Steph Curry, KD is the guy."
Adrian Wojnarowski on SportsCenter: "(The organization had) a lot of soul-searching about handing down a suspension, costing Green money, and essentially siding with Durant. The concern is, do players start lining up behind different players in the aftermath of this."
Tracy McGrady on The Jump: "The suspension was definitely warranted. Absolutely. From what I hear, I don't care if you're on the street (or a) professional environment, the words that he (Green) called this man, you don't say that to another individual. And I just think he crossed the line."
Shannon Sharpe on UNDISPUTED: "It's not a big deal. it's two guys that are super duper competitive. But I can assure you, in the endgame situation, under no circumstances, if KD, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson is Available, should Draymond Green have the ball."
