De Jowo Shakyamuni of Jowo Rinpoche is het meest vereerde en heiligste voorwerp in het Tibetaans boeddhisme. Het is een standbeeld dat verondersteld wordt Gautama Boeddha uit te beelden op de leeftijd van 12 jaar. (Een Jowo is meer in het algemeen een afbeelding van de historische Boedhha op jongere leeftijd.) Het standbeeld is aanwezig in de Jokhang in de buurt Barkhor in Lhasa. Het is al eeuwen de belangrijkste bestemming voor pelgrims in Tibet. In de devotie van de gelovigen wordt de Jowo  Śākyamuni getransformeerd tot een reële Boeddha.

Er is daarnaast een tweede Jowo in Lhasa aanwezig, de Jowo Mikyö Dorje in de Ramochetempel. Dat is een standbeeld dat Gautama Boeddha uitbeeldt op de leeftijd van acht jaar.

Een Pan-Aziatisch verhaal
Er zijn in heel boeddhistisch Azië verhalen over de creatie van het zogenaamd eerste standbeeld van de historische Boeddha. De basisstructuur daarvan begint met een koning Presanajit van Kosala die de grote wens had het gezicht van de Boeddha te zien terwijl hij in de hemel de Dharma onderwees aan zijn moeder. De koning zond dan ook de kunstenaar Visvakarman naar de hemel met het doel een afbeelding te maken, dat resulteerde in twee standbeelden, de Jowo Śākyamuni en de Jowo Mikyö Dorje. De Boeddha zegende de standbeelden. Hij zou de standbeelden niet alleen als beeld van hem bedoeld bedoeld hebben, maar ook als vertegenwoordigers en gezanten van hem voordat hij definitief het Parinirvana bereikte,

In een Tibetaanse versie van het verhaal vindt dan een uitwisseling van geschenken plaats tussen een Indiase en Chinese vorst. De Indiase vorst ontvangt van de Chinese vorst een uitzonderlijke stof, gemaakt door Dhakini's, vrouwelijke godheden in het boeddhisme. De Indiase vorst schenkt de Jowo Śākyamuni aan de Chinese vorst. Uiteindelijk werd het het standbeeld het eigendom van de keizers van de Chinese Tang-dynastie.

In de klassieke Tibetaanse geschiedschrijving

In die geschiedschrijving neemt de Tibetaanse koning Songtsen Gampo (605 -650) in 637 de Nepalese prinses Bhrikuti tot een van zijn meerdere vrouwen. In 641 gebeurt dat ook met de Chinese prinses Wencheng. In de Tibetaanse geschiedschrijving is Wengcheng een dochter van de Chinese keizer Taizong van de Tang-dynastie. Beide vrouwen zijn boeddhist. Bhrikuti neemt als onderdeel van haar bruidsschat de Jowo Mikyö Dorje mee. Wengcheng neemt de Jowo  Śākyamuni mee. Songtsen Gampo laat voor zijn beide vrouwen een kapel bouwen, die later uitgebouwd werd tot de Jokhang alsmede de Ramoche. Het standbeeld van de Jowo Rinpoche wordt geplaatst in de Ramoche. Het standbeeld van de Jowo Mikyö Dorje in de Jokhang.

In de meeste klassieke Tibetaanse bronnen vindt er na enige tijd een verwisseling van de beide standbeelden plaats. Het aanzienlijk belangrijker geachte beeld van de Jowo Śākyamuni
wordt vanuit de Ramoche verplaatst naar de Jokhang. Diverse Tibetaanse bronnen plaatsen dat nog in de tijd van Songtsen Gampo zelf, maar ook wel in de achtste als in de negende eeuw.

Steeds is echter een bedreiging van het standbeeld en een bedreiging van het boeddhisme in Tibet zelf het leidende motief voor het verbergen dan wel verplaatsen van het beeld.

Uit de Tibetaanse literatuur  wordt duidelijk, dat de Jowo Śākyamuni als buitengewoon werd beschouwd, want het beeld was de focus van zowel boeddhistische als antiboeddhistische, Tibetaanse als antiTibetaanse activiteiten. Enkele thema's keren in de vele verhalen over de Jowo Śākyamuni steeds terug. Interne Tibetaanse bedreigingen van het boeddhisme; externe bedreigingen van het Tibetaanse rijk, dat bezig was het boeddhisme te assimileren en bovennatuurlijke krachten van de Jowo zelf. In de verhalen wordt de Jowo vele malen verplaatst en verborgen.

In een van de bronnen proberen Tibetaanse antiboeddhistische krachten het beeld weer naar India terug te brengen. Het beeld werd echter zo zwaar, dat het niet meer te transporteren was. Noodgedwongen werd het achtergelaten op een vlakte nabij Lhasa, waarna het weer wist terug te keren. In het verhaal wordt de Indiase herkomst van het beeld bevestigd alsmede zijn bovennatuurlijke krachten.

In veel van die bronnen speelt een tweede Chinese prinses in Tibet, Jingcheng (overleden 739) een rol. In die bronnen was de Jowo Śākyamuni in de periode van Songtsen Gampo verborgen en het bestaan daarvan daarna  geheel vergeten. Jingcheng zou verantwoordelijk zijn voor de overplaatsing van het beeld van de Ramoche naar de Jokhang. Er is echter ook een versie van een Tibetaanse bron, die de Jowo Śākyamuni nog bij de aankomst van de Indiase leraar Atisha in Lhasa in 1042 in de Ramoche situeert.

Tsongkhapa, de geestelijk vader van het gedachtegoed van de gelugtraditie in het Tibetaans boeddhisme zou in 1409 bij de gelegenheid van de eerste viering van de Mönlam, het Grote Gebedsfestival, de Jowo Śākyamuni voorzien hebben van een kroon en andere ornamenten. Latere Tibetaanse historici hebben die ingreep altijd verdedigd. Hun stelling was, dat Tsongkhapa hiermee de iconografie van het beeld wijzigde van een boeddha in de verschijningsvorm nirmanakaya naar een meer correct geachte  verschijningsvorm van sambhogakaya . Het is echter volstrekt onzeker of het beeld voor die periode wel of niet een kroon moet hebben gehad. Het zou dus ook alleen om een van de vele restauraties van het beeld kunnen hebben gehandeld

Tibetologisch onderzoek

De eerste keer dat – zonder de naam te benoemen – een standbeeld van een in Lhasa aanwezige  Jowo wordt vermeld is in een versie van de elfde eeuw van het Testament van Ba. De eerste keer dat de Jowo Śākyamuni met naam wordt vermeld en beschreven is in het zogenaamde Pilaar-Testament ( in de Engelse vakliteratuur meestal The Vase-shaped Pillar Testament genoemd). Een wat verkorte beschrijving daaruit wordt ook teruggevonden in de Mani kabum. In die twee documenten wordt ook voor het eerst de herkomst van het beeld en de wijze waarop het in Tibet terechtkwam beschreven. In de klassieke Tibetaanse geschiedschrijving is Songtsen Gampo zelf de auteur van de laatste twee geschriften. De koning zou de documenten als terma verborgen hebben, zodat die later herontdekt zouden kunnen worden. Feitelijk dateren beide documenten uit het eind van de elfde eeuw en zijn er in de eeuwen daarna nog aanvullingen gedaan.

Het verhaal in de klassieke Tibetaanse geschiedschrijving is ten aanzien van een groot aantal andere aspecten in strijd met de resultaten van onderzoek uit de twintigste en eenentwintigste eeuw. Er is op zijn minst ernstige twijfel aan het historisch bestaan van de Nepalese prinses Bhrikuti. Onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat de Chinese prinses Wencheng een van de vrouwen werd van de Tibetaanse kroonprins Gungri Gungtsen (628 – 647). Pas na zijn dood nam Songtsen Gampo Wengcheng als een van zijn meerdere vrouwen. In de Tibetaanse annalen wordt voor het jaar 649/650 het overlijden van Songtsen Gampo gemeld met onder meer de mededeling dat hij de laatste drie jaar met Wencheng had gecohabiteerd. Wengcheng was ook zeker niet de dochter van de Chinese keizer Taizong. Zij was afkomstig uit een minder belangrijke zijtak van de keizerlijke familie. Het onderzoek geeft reden om aan te nemen dat haar persoonlijke invloed in Tibet uiterst gering was.

Het klassieke verhaal dat de Jowo Śākyamuni zeer kort na zijn aankomst in 641 eerst een plaats vond in de Ramochetempel is in strijd met onderzoek dat aangeeft dat die tempel pas in de achtste eeuw in de periode van de tweede Chinese prinses in Tibet, Jingcheng, moet zijn gebouwd.

Er is strikt historisch geen enkele bron voor de aanwezigheid van de Jowo Śākyamuni in Lhasa in de periode van voor het eind van de elfde eeuw.

De Jokhang is in de loop van de eeuwen vele malen ernstig beschadigd geweest door onder meer brand en oorlogshandelingen. Daarbij is ook vaak ernstige schade toegebracht aan de daar aanwezige kunstvoorwerpen. Een periode van zeer grote vernielingen heeft plaatsgevonden tijdens de bezetting van Tibet door de Mongoolse stam van de Dzjoengaren in 1717-1720. Een aantal tibetologen waaronder Giuseppe Tucci (1894 - 1984) meent op basis van een Tibetaanse bron uit de achttiende eeuw te kunnen concluderen, dat de Jowo Śākyamuni toen geheel vernietigd werd en vervangen door een replica.

Een aantal andere tibetologen hebben het vermoeden uitgesproken dat de Jowo Śākyamuni
tijdens de Culturele Revolutie werd vernietigd en voor de heropening van de Jokhang eveneens vervangen werd door een replica.

Development of a DNA Aptamer that Specifically Inhibits Human Carbonic Anhydrase II
Afroz Karim, University of Texas at El Paso
Carbonic anhydrases (CA) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate. Carbonic anhydrase II is the most abundant protein in the cytosol. CA II inhibitors are emergent therapeutic targets for the development of antiglaucoma agents. Glaucoma is a disease affecting large number of people and characterized by an elevated intraocular pressure due to excessive secretion of aqueous humor. The enzyme CA II is responsible for the secretion of aqueous humor. Isoforms of CA II such as CA IV and CA I are present in many tissues and organs other than the eye. The commercially available CA inhibitors such as Brinzolamide tend to inhibit CA II and other isozymes such as CA IV and CA I. This leads to undesired side effects such as numbness and tingling of extremities, metallic taste, depression, fatigue, etc. In order to avoid these side effects an isozyme specific inhibitor is required. Here, we sought a novel DNA-based agent to inhibit specifically carbonic anhydrase II. Toward this goal, an 86 base pair, single-stranded DNA aptamer library containing a 40 base pair variable region was screened for CA II binding candidates, using ten rounds of positive and negative selection. Positive selection rounds has been used to evolve aptamers of extremely high binding affinity toward the target CA II whereas negative selection cycles were performed to determine the specificity of the aptamers toward CA II. Next generation sequencing (NGS) revealed sequences of the aptamer library. The most active anti-CAII aptamer had a random central sequence 5'-CGT AGC TAT GAT ATT GATT GTT TTT AAA TCC ACC CG TGCA -3' and was designated as CA II inhibitory aptamer (CAII-A8). This aptamer was found to be isozyme specific inhibitor determined by the enzymatic assay of carbonic anhydrase for Wilbur Anderson Units (EC 4.2.1.1). CAII-A8 is the first CA II isozyme specific inhibitory aptamer to be described as an antiglaucoma agent.

"I feel the need to express reality, but in terms which are not completely realist." — Michelangelo Antonioni to Jean-Luc Godard, Cahiers du cinéma, November 1964.
Over the next two weeks at the Egyptian, the American Cinematheque will present Modernist Master—Michelangelo Antonioni, an extensive retrospective of the work of the Italian writer-director showcasing his key dramatic features, as well as a selection of shorts from throughout his career.
"Your work has proceeded, from moment to moment, in a movement of double vigilance, towards the contemporary world and towards yourself… You have lived through and treated the history of the last thirty years with subtlety, not as the matter of an artistic reflection or an ideological mission, but as a substance whose magnetism it was your task to capture from work to work." — Roland Barthes, "Dear Antonioni," 1980*
The series will open with BLOW-UP (1966), Antonioni's celebrated look at Swinging London through the eyes of a fashion photographer—played by David Hemmings and largely based on David Bailey. The film co-stars Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, Verushka, Jane Birkin, and The Yardbirds.
"For you, content and form are equally historical… Strictly speaking, the artist—unlike the thinker—does not evolve; he scans, like a very sensitive instrument, the successive novelty with which his own history presents him… The artist, for his part, knows that the meaning of a thing is not its truth… Your work is not a fixed reflection, but an iridescent surface." — Barthes, "Dear Antonioni"
The Monica Vitti tetralogy from the early sixties is here—L'AVVENTURA (1960), LA NOTTE (1961), L'ECLISSE (1962), and RED DESERT (1964)—and the closing-weekend double feature pairs THE PASSENGER—written by Peter Wollen, Mark Peploe, and Antonioni—and ZABRISKIE POINT, shot in Los Angeles and Death Valley.
"Your art consists in always leaving the road of meaning open and as if undecided—out of scrupulousness. In this respect you accomplish very precisely the task of the artist as our time requires it: neither dogmatic, nor empty of signification." — Barthes, "Dear Antonioni"
The series—co-presented by Luce Cinecittà—also takes a deep dive into Antonioni's early work—STORY OF A LOVE AFFAIR (1950), I VINTI (1952, his three-part look at juvenile delinquency), LE AMICHE (1955), and IL GRIDO (1957), starring Stephen Cochran as Antonioni's only working-class male protagonist.

Achieving successful Organisation Design without the Grim Reaper
by Cath Wallace | 19 Feb 2020 | Directional Alignment, Meaningful Connections, Organisation Design, People Performance Model, People Solutions, Solid Foundations, Valued Work | 0 comments
Over the years I've held various job titles and consulted to different organisations where I've been introduced as the person who is here to help with Organisation Design. This isn't a bad introduction in theory, so how come the reactions tend to be fear, distrust and a sense of doom?
In some situations I have been welcomed and there is a sense of excitement. They see that my role is to make the workplace a better environment for both employees and leaders.
I've realised that the difference in response tends to arise due to the context for me being there. It seems to depend on whether my brief is to facilitate a restructure or to take a more comprehensive look at the way the organisation is designed. When I'm viewed as a Grim Reaper it's because people equate Organisation Design to restructuring and job losses. A time for stress and unwanted change.
For me it's so much more than this.
My view of Organisation Design encompasses a number of elements and I have to thank Galbraith for this. Many years ago I was introduced to his 5 star model which defines Organisation Design as the links between Strategy, Structure, Process and Lateral Capability, Reward and HR Policies. Seeing how these elements come together to design an organisation, set me on my journey of being passionate about Organisation Design and the difference it can make to organisations. Even now I'm excited seeing organisations as complex organisms, each with their own uniqueness.
In recent years I have shaped my understanding of Organisation Design in to a model that encompasses new components that have become more prevalent in the last 20 years. For instance, the relevance of the full employee experience, the attitude to health and wellbeing or diversity and inclusion. Each of these are now at the forefront of the people agenda for organisations preparing for a very different future.
I split a review of an organisation into 4 components:
Directional Alignment – how are employees aligned to the strategy, goals and purpose?
Solid Foundations – do policies, processes and systems support employees to deliver?
Valued Work – are employees set up to do the work in the best way, with suitable reward and career pathways?
Meaningful Connections – how does the organisation support people to connect and thrive?
I've integrated these components into the Kandula People Performance Model.
By looking at these 4 components it's possible to design an organisation that responds to its strategic direction and the changing environment. The good news is that in many instances it won't mean restructuring at all as other changes will bring a greater return and less turmoil.
In my work I hope to support organisations join the dots for all touchpoints that impact employees. Remember, a restructure is just one solution to a complex situation. There are many positive changes that can be made to design organisations fit for the future.
And with this, I hope the days of the Grim Reaper will be limited.

Caution: Always check with your vet before feeding new foods.
Treats or life rewards are the hallmark of positive enforcement based training.
Some people feel like dogs should work out of respect or deference. But what normally happens is that the dog isn't working FOR the human; the dog is actually working to AVOID an aversive - like a leash yanking or a physical manipulation or getting yelled at or kicked.
Pet parents won't need treats all the time but they should be prepared to feed a lot of treats in the beginning. Especially for dogs who have issues like fear.
While it's important to be liberal with treats, we don't want our dogs to become sick or over weight.
Use quality treats. Read the ingredients and forgo anything that has sugar or artificial coloring.
Feed tiny amounts so more can be fed.
Reduce your dogs regular meals by the amount of treats given - measure by calories or by volume.
If a pet is not excited about a treat, experiment until you find what he/she likes. Or consider that the pet is too stressed to eat so during training, go back to a place where the dog isn't stressed.

Dr. Phil Guests Say Show Gave Addicts Alcohol and Drugs
By Madeleine Aggeler@mmaggeler
Phil McGraw. Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images
On his show Dr. Phil, psychologist and television personality Phil McGraw offers "life strategies" to people who are struggling, including, frequently, addicts. According to a joint investigation by STAT News and the Boston Globe, however, some of the show's producers put guests fighting addiction at risk by providing them with drugs and alcohol.
One former guest, Todd Herzog — the winner of 2007's Survivor: China, who appeared on Dr. Phil in 2013 to help battle his alcoholism — told STAT/the Globe that he arrived at the studio sober, but prior to the taping, he found a bottle of Smirnoff vodka waiting for him in his dressing room. After he drank all of it, he says a staffer gave him Xanax to "calm his nerves."
Psychologist Martin Greenberg, the show's director of professional affairs, denies these allegations.
Herzog appeared on the show two more times after relapsing. The third time, he says he found a bottle of vodka in his dressing room again, but that he did not drink the whole thing.
While he told STAT and the Globe that he is grateful to the show for getting him help, Herzog added: "There should not be liters of vodka in my dressing room."
Another guest, Jordan Smith, who appeared on the show in 2012 while pregnant and struggling with a heroin addiction, suffered serious withdrawals while waiting for her taping. Smith's aunt, who traveled with her, says her niece was not given any medical supervision. As Jordan's withdrawals got worse, her mother and aunt told one of the show's producer's that she needed heroin. The producer took them down to L.A.'s Skid Row, where she filmed Jordan's hunt for drugs. The segment later appeared on the show.
"It's a callous and inexcusable exploitation," said Dr. Jeff Sugar, an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Southern California. "These people are barely hanging on.

Any union reps available to answer this? ?
My girlfriend is having terrible problems at work. She started work at a new place 3 months ago..... since she started her workload has increased dramatically and she was coming home stressed. To cut a long story short she wrote her employer an email saying she was stressed and was having problems. Her employer has taken this the wrong way and is now out to "get her " Fortunately she's a member of the GMB union..... she's been told there's a meeting next week so she's arranged for a union rep to be present. Her employer is saying that she must disclose the full details of the Union member before any meeting takes place. Can they do this? Is this legal ?
Re: Any union reps available to answer this? ?
On the face of it the situation appears to be one that's progressed beyond the intentions of anyone involved. Has your girlfriend been able to talk to her boss, or whoever the recipient of the email was, and made an attempt to clear the situation up? If she has, what was the response? If she hasn't, I'd suggest that as a first port of call before she attempts to involve the union. I've always felt email isn't a great method of expressing personal views or issues because they're so easily misinterpreted. That's possibly what's happened here. I'd suggest only taking a more 'official' route, e.g. the union, if more private and less confrontational means fail.
When your girlfriend became a member of the union she should have been given details of her representative and details of the union's legal representative. If she has to go down the union route and if she hasn't been given those details I would suggest getting in touch with the union and asking to speak to someone who can advise on the issue she's currently having. There should be someone available to speak to during business hours and if the query is related to a legal matter they should be able to arrange a call with someone who is able to advise.
If your girlfriend's employer is making statements about what your girlfriend must and must not do I would seek clarification from her own union before giving any details. She'll want to work from a position of knowledge by knowing what she should and shouldn't say.


Male schizophrenic patients (n = 142) were examined with a clinical assessment of their language dysfunctions with the Scale for the Assessment of Thought, Language, and Communication (TLC). Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test the relative fit of several differential theoretical models of the factorial structure of thought disorders. The models examined were positive-negative thought disorder, a three-factor model based on the results of an earlier exploratory factor analysis, and a simpler verbal productivity-disconnection model that can be extracted from other exploratory analyses and empirical studies. The positive-negative thought disorder model failed to fit the data, while the three-factor model fit the data, but no better than the simpler verbal productivity-disconnection model.


The great ancient kingdom of Pagan, or Bagan, (which sounds better in Russian) was once located on the territory of the modern country of Myanmar (previously known as Burma). The capital of the kingdom was also named Bagan. The city of Bagan stretched along the western shore of the Irrawaddy, or Ayeyarwady, River.


Acting as a canvas for the rest of your makeup, a flawless base is vital to concealing imperfections, unifying your skintone, and creating a flawless finish, fine-tuned to your beauty goals. Whether you're intent on masking blemishes or blurring the appearance of lines and wrinkles, the best formulas will function as part-camouflage, part-problem solver, no matter what your age.
Your twenties are all about enhancing, not covering your complexion. If your skin is good, keep things light – a sheer, oil-free formula will let your natural skin show through, so don't fall into the trap of wearing a too opaque foundation. Apply base only where you need it – generally, discolouration is at its worst in the centre of the face and around the nose.
If you suffer from blemishes or scarring, use a concealer to stealthily mask imperfections rather than an unnecessarily heavy foundation (which will clog pores and appear mask-like). Choose a concealer with an emollient texture like the Cover FX Blemish Treatment Concealer, which will be easier to blend.
With fine lines and an uneven skintone creeping up on you in your thirties, its time to upgrade your base makeup to tone down the appearance of discolouration and promote a clearer, more even complexion. Above all, don't fall into the habit of applying foundation unnecessarily; to keep it from drawing attention to fine lines, apply it only to the areas where it's most needed (typically the centre of the face and around the nose).
Keep things light; a sheer, natural formula like Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Powder Foundation should fit the bill – the formula contains colour-correcting pigments to neutralise redness and topaz and quartz minerals to maintain skintone and texture.
In your forties, you start to lose oestrogen and your skin becomes drier. Ensure that your base products not only replenish moisture, but recreate the appearance of healthily hydrated skin. Matte textures can make skin look dull, so choose products with light-reflecting particles and iridescent finishes to create a soft-focus effect.
With an emphasis on bringing back glow, opt for a creamy, light-reflecting foundation, and for extra radiance mix a liquid illuminator in with your foundation. Finish the effect by dabbing a cream highlighter, such as RMS' Living Luminizer, over your cheekbones for a lit-from-within glow.
Whereas in the past you've relied on concealer to mask imperfections, as you age, foundation should be your main source of coverage – concealer will get stuck in fine lines and draw attention to them. Opt for a lightweight base like the Edward Bess Ultra Dewy Complexion Perfector, which will even out your skintone and impart a subtle luminosity for a 'no-makeup-makeup' look.
What you will also notice in your fifties is that your skintone starts to fade. The solution is simple: just add colour. As skin grows more pallid with age, counteract pastiness and inject warmth back into your complexion by lightly dusting a bronzer over your base makeup.
In your sixties, your main concern is lack of moisture; as hormone levels dip and skin gets drier, reach for creamy, moisture-rich foundations to alleviate dryness and keep your complexion looking and feeling youthful and fresh. A dewy finish to the skin is more forgiving than a matte base, and will make skin appear fresh and supple.
Texture is key – liquids and mousses give sheer coverage and won't look powdery or emphasise creases. Counter wrinkling by using silicone-based foundations (for a dewy finish) and apply makeup in delicate layers, using a sponge to prevent a crepey effect. Try Peter Thomas Roth's Un Wrinkle Foundation, which is enriched with vitamins A, C, and E, to boost foundation with a luminous finish.

Rimac Nevera: Dare to feel the next generation of performance.
June 13, 2021 By dcaplan
Posted in Rimac
Post Oak Motor Cars recently returned from Dubrovnik Croatia for the first Rimac Automobili Dealer Conference. The team joined founder Mate Rimac and his team as they launched the C-Two Concept, now known as the new Rimac Nevera.
The Nevera is an all-electric 1,914hp, 258mph, $2.4m hypercar designed and engineered to unleash an unprecedented level of performance.
Rimac dealers from around the world along with potential Rimac owners joined at the exclusive resort Sun Gardens Resort, where they were given the chance to get behind the wheel themselves to test drive this hypercar beast on the scenic roads in Dubrovnik.
The Nevera is the production-ready iteration of the Rimac C_Two concept car, which was revealed at the International Geneva Motor Show in 2018. Since then, Rimac's engineers have refined their new flagship on every level during an extensive development program, in the pursuit of the ultimate electric hypercar driving experience. With the majority of key components of the Nevera developed in-house at Rimac's HQ in Croatia, all systems have been improved and enhanced since the initial prototypes to deliver on the ambitious performance targets set for at the beginning of the project in 2018.
Underlining his own commitment to the project, Mate Rimac will personally test and sign off each of the Neveras, before they are delivered to customers from the company's current production site on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia.
Named after a force of nature
Fittingly, the Nevera bears a proud Croatian name and one that truly reflects the prodigious performance the car can unleash in the blink of an eye. The name given by the locals to a quick, unexpected and mighty Mediterranean storm, that races across the open sea off Croatia, a nevera is extremely powerful and charged by lightning.
Appearing with exceptional speed and potency, Rimac's next-generation hypercar shares the Nevera's name and looks set to leave a similarly disruptive effect on the global hypercar market. And, like the force of nature it is named after, it is just as adept at transforming its character in an instant – from assured and comfortable grand tourer to ultra-focused performance machine.
The Nevera will be limited to only 150 units worldwide and over 20 orders already in place. If you are interested in customizing your own Rimac Nevera or have other questions, please contact our Rimac specialist Max Malikov.
BENTAYGA S – THE MOST SPORTING OF BENTAYGAS
June 1, 2021 By dcaplan
Posted in Bentley
Bentley has today announced details of the new Bentayga S, bringing extra sporting agility to the Bentayga family. With striking design cues and unique detailing, the Bentayga S is the latest version of Bentley's benchmark, go-anywhere luxury SUV, designed and engineered in the UK and manufactured in Bentley's carbon-neutral factory in Crewe.
For the first time since the launch of Bentayga in 2015, an S version is now available – reflecting feedback from the huge number of customers that enjoy the dynamic performance of their Bentayga on-road. Building on Bentley's established 'S' brand, the new enhanced sports Bentayga provides an even more engaging drive, with Bentley Dynamic Ride active anti-roll control fitted as standard and an enhanced Sports chassis mode. A 15 per cent increase in damping stiffens the chassis and provides a platform for a more dynamic SPORT mode ESC tune.
Bentayga S also features a revised visual presence through the distinctive addition of black details, and a more sporting soundtrack courtesy of a newly designed, free-flowing sports exhaust – both of which increase the Bentayga's already imposing presence on the road.
The Bentayga S is distinguished by a range of distinctive exterior features, including new unique 22" wheels with three finishes, innovative 'S' badges positioned on the lower edge of the front doors, and Blackline Specification as standard. The profile has increased presence due to the larger rear spoiler, gloss black side sills and lower bumpers, front and rear. Dark tint lenses to head lamps and tail lamps, black door mirrors and black split oval tailpipes complete the striking exterior.
Inside a luxuriously refined cabin, a unique Bentayga S style can be found using new seats, unique stitching, a new colour split and Alcantara® to reflect the striking exterior and increased dynamic ability. Colour accents on the instrument panel, centre console, door pads and seat bolsters as well as Alcantara® to seat cushion and back inserts, steering wheel and gear lever, give the Bentayga S a bold and contemporary style. 'S' badges can be found on the passenger fascia as well as new graphics in the driver's instrument panel and illuminated treadplates, denoting the model.
Bentley's sector-defining and market-leading luxury SUV is available in four, five or seven seat configurations, and since it entered the market in 2016, more than 25,000 customers have taken delivery of a Bentayga. The fourth model in the Bentayga range joins the efficient plug-in Hybrid, the 4.0-litre turbocharged V8, and the powerful 6.0-litre, 12-cylinder Speed.
Sublime Power and Performance
The Bentayga S features Bentley's renowned 4.0-litre, twin-scroll turbocharged V8 petrol engine, combining immense power with impressive fuel economy. The latest-generation engine develops 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb.ft. (770 Nm) of torque, with a 0-60 mph (0–100 km/h) time of 4.4 (4.5) seconds and a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). This class-leading performance is complemented by a range of 406 miles (654 km), with CO2 emissions of 294 g/km.
Deploying the power as effectively as possible, Bentley Dynamic Ride is fitted as standard and was the world's first electric active roll control technology that utilises an unrivalled 48V system. The system can react within 0.3s with up to 1,300 Nm of torque to counteract lateral rolling forces when cornering, ensuring maximum tyre contact to deliver class-leading cabin stability, ride comfort and exceptional handling.
Similar to the recently launched Continental GT Speed, where the boundaries of grand touring comfort versus engaging performance have been extended through chassis mode selection, the Bentayga S now offers increased capability through an enhanced SPORT mode over a standard Bentayga.
In SPORT, improved steering feel, greater turn-in response and further reduced body-roll is possible due to an additional 15 per cent increase in air suspension damping and a unique Electronic Stability Control and Bentley Dynamic Ride tune.
Recalibration of Bentley's Torque Vectoring by Brake system – whereby the car lightly brakes the inside rear wheel at corner entry to sharpen the front axle turn-in – has made Bentayga S even more responsive to drive.
A new sports exhaust is included as standard, with free-flowing primary and secondary pipes improving flow and combining with reduced perforations in the muffler to deliver enhanced character and volume, giving a more performance-oriented feel.
The Bentayga's comprehensive off-road abilities remain, with the optional All-Terrain Specification bringing four dedicated off-road modes (Snow and Wet Grass, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail, and Sand) along with a 500 mm wading depth.
Bentayga 'S' – True Road Presence
The youthful, muscular exterior design of the new Bentayga S reflects a truly dynamic driving experience. Stylish and purposeful in equal measure, the sporting nature of the Bentayga S is clearly visible from every angle, and made more dramatic with a suite of changes that change the character of the car both inside and out.
The Bentayga's already striking road presence is amplified still further on the 'S' with black treatment to all exterior brightware, matched with black door mirrors and black-painted side sills. These features are enhanced by dark tint treatment to the headlamps and elliptical tail lamps, together with new high gloss black on the lower bumper grilles. A larger rear spoiler on the Bentayga S that both extends the roofline in profile and provides increased aerodynamic stability at speed is complemented by black painted, split oval, sport exhaust tailpipes, and unique exterior badging.
The new unique 22" wheel style is dramatic and mirrored from the centre line of the vehicle, ensuring that the spokes (appearing like 'scythes'), point in the same direction on both sides of the vehicle. Available in three finishes, silver painted is standard, with full gloss black or black and bright polished being optional. The black and bright polished wheel is highly labour intensive – firstly the rim is ceramic polished, before the bright areas are masked off to allow for gloss black paint to be applied, ahead of a final finish – polished by hand.
A Unique Cabin – Luxuriously Equipped
The 'S' colour split introduces Alcantara® to the cabin of the V8-powered Bentayga, across the seat cushions and back rest centre panels, gear lever, steering wheel, upper trim and headlining creating a performance-focused yet luxurious interior.
A new fluted seat design is available in four, five and seven seat configurations. The introduction of a new, unique and modern seat design provides a more sporting aesthetic with clean simple stitch lines through the shoulder areas. The new stitching design defines the fluting, available to match either primary or secondary hide colour, and combines with the Alcantara® elements to complete the new aesthetic. The seat backrests are finished with an embroidered 'S' motif.
A unique and elegant fascia badge adorns the dashboard in front of the passenger, with a similarly themed Bentayga S treadplate that illuminates when stepping in or out of the vehicle.
The Bentayga S shares a fully digital driver's information panel with the Bentayga Speed, with pronounced dial graphics that take influence from high-end chronographs. The display brings a contemporary look to the cockpit, can be customised to the driver's requirements and features real-time lighting effects with elegant animations.
The high-resolution screen can be viewed in either Classic or Expanded format. In Classic, the display shows the traditional two-dial design of the speedometer and tachometer. In Expanded, the right dial is replaced with an area for maps and media information.
Please contact our concierge for further information on ordering the new Bentayga S
Introducing Rolls-Royce Coachbuild
Posted in Rolls-Royce
Every Rolls-Royce client is extraordinary, but within this remarkable consumer group there exists a class that is so significant that its members demand an object that is truly transformative; an object that makes a permanent statement, and sets itself apart from anything that has gone before. It is unprecedented.
Coachbuild is this statement. This highly distilled expression of Bespoke is reserved for those who look to move beyond existing constraints. It is based on a true commission model and represents a collaborative exploration of luxury, design and culture between the marque and commissioning client. This is contemporary patronage in its truest form.
Only Rolls-Royce, and the Bespoke philosophy that guides it, is able to deliver on the promise of curating and commissioning a product so fundamentally unique. Rolls-Royce created the contemporary coachbuilding movement in 2017 with Sweptail, a hand-built motor car that immediately became one of the world's finest intercontinental tourers.
In 2021, Rolls-Royce Boat Tail was conceived, representing contemporary patronage in its truest form.

RIMAC AND BUGATTI COMBINE FORCES IN HISTORIC NEW VENTURE


Anyways, back in April I received my 'official' diagnosis of HFA (apparently they don't diagnose Aspergers anymore) although I was told that Aspergers is where my level of deficits lie. I also have elements of ADHD especially inattentiveness.
Receiving my diagnosis at the age of 28 has helped me to make alot of sense of my life so far, however with it has come the realisation that I'm always going to struggle which is really affecting my anxiety, depression and OCD. I had some CBT a while ago for my OCD but I really struggled with it as I have quite rigid thought patterns and to be told that the way I think is wrong and to think in another way was really hard to put into practice so the therapy helped a bit but not as much as I was hoping.
Does anyone else here struggle with this? I'm also finding work hard atm as I'm realising just how socially inept I am ( a couple of incidents at work have just added to this), I just feel like every day is a struggle.
Do others on here struggle too? What advice does anyone have?
Also my GP has changed my antidepressants as my depression has gotten so bad, the thing I don't understand is why is there no NHS autism specific counselling/talking therapy considering that autism and mental health issues go hand in hand? My GP is constantly looking for something suitable for me but atm there is nothing so if things don't improve soon or get worse then I'm going to have to be referred to Adult Mental Health. Does anyone else have experience of this?
Just wanting to share this with you all so that maybe those of us affected can help guide each other.
Look forward to hearing from you all again.
Welcome back not sure what happened with getting emails from you.
Hope you manage to get some support soon.

I am a poet. I use words and language to make art and share stories. I love sharing that passion with students and providing them with opportunities to express themselves through the power of storytelling. I am a small-town Geechee girl hailing from South Carolina.
I shadowed a student during her math class. What I learned surprised me and confirmed some previous thinking.
I am developing lesson plans and activities to bring this project to light.
I definitely think there is some gender bias involved.

Strefi is a beautiful village in the municipality of Messini, is situated at an altitude of 225 meters and it is 27 kilometers away from the city of Kalamata. About 550 residents live in neighborhoods of the village. Strefi is surrounded by the river Velikas, which is united with another small river of the region and they flow into the beach of Velikas.
The plane trees, willows, reeds and dense vegetation in combination with running and clean water make the walk around Strefi really exciting and refreshing.
Many people are gathered in Strefi on August 15th for the feast that takes place in the village, after the liturgy in the chapel of Virgin Mary. They organize a dance ball and feasting at the village on every Sunday of Carnival.
The view from Strefi is excellent, since you can see on the hills, the beaches of Kalamata and the vast land with vineyards, olive and fig trees of Messinian Plain.


HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. -- "That's the sound America makes when she's angry."
That's how Col. Tom Palenske, commander of the 1st Special Operations Wing, characterized the AC-130 gunship after two aircraft fired hundreds of rounds from their 40mm and 105mm cannons and 25mm Gatling gun in the skies above A-77, a range specially made for target practice.
Palenske, also the installation commander here, says crews can't wait for the next best thing: the AC-130J Ghostrider.
"It's going to be awesome. It's our big gun truck. It's going to have more powerful engines, a more efficient fuel rate, and also has a more precise fuel capability so you know exactly how much gas you've got on board," he said.
Palenske caught up with Military.com during a tour of Air Force Special Operations Command aircraft and a live-fire training exercise on ranges used by Hurlburt and neighboring Eglin Air Force Base as part of Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson's recent trip to AFSOC.
"You can keep the sensors on the bad guys longer," Palenske said, referring to the J-model's ability to stay airborne longer due to better fuel management.
Along with the 105mm cannon the U-models sport, the AC-130J will be equipped with a 30mm cannon "almost like a sniper rifle … it's that precise, it can pretty much hit first shot, first kill," he said.
"It's also going to have AGM-176 [Griffin] missiles on the back, so you can put 10 missiles on the back of them. And two of the tubes are reloadable, so those missiles, they're sitting in the tube backward so the tail's pointing out, [and] they eject out of the airplane, right-side themselves and shoot like a forward-fired missile," Palenske said.
The J-model will have the ability to launch 250-pound small-diameter bombs (SDB), GPS- or laser-guided, he added. The aircraft is expected to carry AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, interchangeable with the SDBs on its wing pylons.
The model achieved initial operational capability in September 2017.
The fourth-generation J is slated to replace the AC-130H/U/W models, with delivery of the final J- model sometime in 2021, according to the Air Force. The service plans to buy 37 of the aircraft.
Crews here expect the J to be deployed in late 2019 or early 2020 and are optimistic about its progress.
In January, the Pentagon's Office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation said fire control systems associated with the plane's left-hand-side 30mm GAU-23/A cannon had issues, including being knocked out of alignment when fired and needing to be re-centered repeatedly by an operator.
The AC-130W Stinger II and J-model are the only variants of the gunship to use the Orbital ATK-made cannon.
"That was drastically exaggerated," Palenske said in response to the problems cited in the report.
Officials said some of the issues were already being fixed by the time the report was made public.
Now, "all of the gun actuating systems are electric as opposed to hydraulic. Hydraulic's sloppy," Palenske said, referring to the gun mounts that previously used hydraulics to aim the weapons.
"And remember, we're just bringing this thing online. You can't expect to slap this thing together … and have that thing come out perfect," he said.
"From soup to nuts, it's all run by computers and computer programs. But it's going to [be] the most lethal, with the most loiter time, probably the most requested weapons system from ground forces in the history of warfare. That's my prediction," Palenske said.
There are two electro-optical/infrared sensor/laser designator pods on the gunship, a significant upgrade from the U-model.
The U-model "has an older Raytheon ALQ-39 and a L3/Wescam MX-15," Lt. Col. Pete Hughes, an AFSOC spokesman, said in a follow-up email. The J-model has two L3/Wescam MX-20 electro-optical/infrared sensor/laser designator pods.
"The upgraded sensors provide greater resolution at longer distances," he said.
The new sensors can zoom in well enough to identify a shoe on the ground and will be able to share information with fifth-generation aircraft such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, officials said.
The transition to the J-model will happen simultaneously in the AC gunship community and the MC-130 Combat Talon special mission community, as older C-130 models are divested "in an elegant ballet" to make sure commandos and ground forces are covered, Palenske said.
The Air Force is procuring more MC-130J models -- used for clandestine missions; low-level air refueling for helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft; and infiltration, exfiltration, and resupply of special operations forces -- but is still using H-models in deployed locations.
Palenske said having a standard aircraft in not only the gunship community but also the MC community will be less of a strain on maintainers.
"Imagine the efficiency in the parts supply [for] the maintainers. You can keep less people in harm's way because the people that are going to maintain the systems on [both of] those, they can do it," he said.


Sinful Strawberry eliquid has a garden fruit flavour throughout. Notes of sweet strawberry create a light inhale, with a juicy taste appearing on exhale.
Blended for use with smaller kits, like pod vape devices and starter kits, Sinful Strawberry is a 30% VG eliquid. You'll experience a clear flavour and smaller clouds when used.
6mg, 12mg or 18mg nicotine strengths, means you have the option of either a smoother or stronger throat hit.

Henry A. Courtney
Era: World War II
Military Branch: Marines
Henry Alexius Courtney, Jr., of Duluth, Minnesota served as a major with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. He was posthumously awarded the nation's highest honor for valor above and beyond the call of duty, Medal of Honor, for gallantry displayed during action on Okinawa Shima, Ryukyu Islands on May 14 and 15, 1945. The citation for the award reads: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Executive Officer of the 2d Battalion, 22nd Marines, 6th Marine Div., in action against enemy Japanese forces on Okinawa Shima in the Ryukyu Islands 14 and 15 May, 1945. Ordered to hold for the night in static defense behind Sugar Loaf Hill after leading the forward elements of his command in a prolonged fire fight, Maj. Courtney weighed the effect of a hostile night counterattack against the tactical value of an immediate Marine assault, resolved to initiate the assault and promptly obtained permission to advance and seize the forward slope of the hill. Quickly explaining the situation to his small remaining force, he declared his personal intention of moving forward and then proceeded on his way, boldly blasting nearby cave positions and neutralizing enemy guns as he went. Inspired by his courage, every man followed without hesitation, and together the intrepid Marines braved terrific concentration of gunfire to skirt the hill on the right and reached the reverse slope." "Temporarily halting, Maj. Courtney sent guides to the rear for more ammunition and possible replacements. Subsequently reinforced by 26 men and an LVT load of grenades, he determined to storm the crest of the hill and crush any planned counterattack before it could gain sufficient momentum to effect a breakthrough. Leading his men by example rather than by command, he pushed ahead with unrelenting aggressiveness, hurling grenades into cave openings on the slope with devastating effect. Upon reaching the crest and observing large numbers of Japanese forming for action less than 100 yards away, he instantly attacked, waged a furious battle and succeeded in killing many of the enemy and in forcing the remainder to take cover in the caves. Determined to hold, he ordered his men to dig in and, coyly disregarding the continuous hail of flying enemy shrapnel to rally his weary troops, tirelessly aided casualties and assigned his men to more advantageous positions. Although instantly killed by a hostile mortar burst while moving among his men, Maj. Courtney, by his astute military acumen, indomitable leadership and decisive action in the face of overwhelming odds, had contributed essentially to the success of the Okinawa campaign. His great personal valor throughout sustained and enhanced the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country." Maj. Courtney is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Duluth.
2015 Mike Colalillo Medal of Honor Scholarship Essay on Henry Courtney

Mike Colalillo Medal of Honor Scholarship
Henry Alexius Courtney, Jr.
Mike Colalillo is well known amongst most Duluthians; he served in the European theater, and was one of the two Duluthians to receive the Medal of Honor during World War II, which is the nation's highest military honor. However, many do not know about Henry A. Courtney Jr., who served in the Pacific theater. Courtney was born on January 6th, 1916 in Duluth, Minnesota. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota, and later his law degree from Loyola University Law School in Chicago. After graduating he was permitted to practice in at his father's law firm in Duluth in 1940. He was educated and had a career lined up, yet he selflessly decided to join the Marine Corps the same year.
Henry Courtney went in as a second lieutenant commissioned officer in 1940. He would serve in Iceland, become sick with malaria, come back home to the United States to recover, but he still wanted to fight for his country; he would then see the heaviest fighting in the Pacific theater in Guadalcanal, and Okinawa.4 The Japanese were on high ground, shooting down at the U.S. Marines, and when Courtney went up the hill, he saw how disorganized it was, and got permission to go up the hill.4 A fellow soldier said that Courtney didn't say, "men, let's move out," he said, "men, follow me." By charging up the hill to execute a counter attack against the Japanese with the forty or so men he brought with him, the result was the saved lives of the rest of his unit below. The marines would lose and retake Sugar Loaf Hill several times before they finally occupied it. One of Courtney's nephews claimed that in the final stage of the Pacific war, the battle of Okinawa was considered for if or when the United States were to invade Japan, the month before the bombs were dropped government concluded that because the fighting on Okinawa was so dreadful, that it would be wise not to invade.
If the Marines' disadvantageous situation wasn't bad enough, a steady rain began to fall on May 14th, which turned the flat ground in front of Sugar Loaf into a foot-sucking marshland.1 This made it feel like the attack on Sugar Loaf was in slow motion, with men lifting their sinking feet out one at a time, all while being overwhelmed unmercifully by Japanese fire.1 Major Courtney knew that a Japanese counterattack would overwhelm them, so instead of waiting for it, he took the fight to them. One of the men who went with up Sugar Loaf Hill, Private First Class Eldon L. Kastler, USMCR, provided this statement on June 10, 1945, about the conduct of Major Henry A. Courtney, Jr.:
On 14 May, 1945, I was a squad leader in the first platoon of F Company, Second Battalion, Twenty Second Marines, Sixth Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces Okinawa Shima, Ryuku Rhetto. In the afternoon of 14 May, 1945, our platoon had occupied Sugar Loaf Hill. When the situation became such that we were losing men as a result of enemy fire and our ammunition carriers were pinned down and could not get to us in order for us to continue the fire fight, our platoon leader decided to bring us back off the Hill. Bringing those of our wounded we could carry with us, we withdrew. I was with the platoon sergeant when he went to the observation post to report the situation- our platoon leader had been hit on the way back while he stood fast to cover our withdrawal with his fire. Our platoon sergeant made his report directly to the battalion commander, and then both the platoon sergeant and I, with some others, went back to where units of F Company and G Company were in the lines. Major Courtney was there giving the officers instructions as to how he wanted an assault made of Sugar Loaf Hill. We were then on the reverse slope of the Hill in a position of defilade. When the platoon sergeant told Major Courtney that the platoon had received fire from the right flank of the Hill and that a number of Japanese were moving up to the Hill from that direction, Major Courtney stopped talking and deliberated for a short while. He then said that we could probably withdraw, tie into the lines, and hold and possible Japanese counter attack, but that if we went up on top of the Hill, we could kill a lot of Japanese, be in a better position to break up the attack, and could thereby save a lot of Marines' lives. When he said that, he issued orders for everyone to get grenades- that we might need them. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go." And then he started off ahead of all of us, slightly crouched forward, and began throwing his grenades into caves when enemy fire came out of them. We all followed him up the hill. He had requested a break in illumination in order for us to get over the crest without observation. But there was still light enough for all of us to see him. He moved on over the crest of the hill and all of us followed him. When we got there, we started digging in where Major Courtney directed. We were then receiving heavy enemy grenade, mortar, and small arms fire, but Major Courtney never ceased to expose himself in going from man to man and being sure he dug in in the right place. When the illumination went back on, we all could see a lot of Japanese crawling up the forward slope of the Hill, making a frontal assault on our position. When we saw them, Major Courtney immediately threw his grenades and shouted for all of us to do so. We followed with a barrage of grenades that hit among the Japanese because they were scarcely fifty yards in front and below us. Then Major Courtney went from man to man, all up and down the line, while we were still under heavy fire, encouraging all of us and telling us just where to direct our fire. There was at that time a great deal of noise and excitement because we were fighting hard, and I didn't know exactly when the Major was hit. But someone told us that the Major was dead. When I heard that, I was personally determined to hold the Hill. And I knew every other man felt the same way, because we did hold it although the enemy fire was very heavy and there were many casualties. We kept on fighting, and we broke up the Japanese counter-attack. Major Courtney showed us the greatest courage and bravery any of us had ever seen. If it had not been for him, we never could have fought as hard as we did, and the Japanese counter-attack would have struck our lines with full force.2
The Marine Corps Base Camp Courtney in Okinawa, Japan, where he was originally buried, opened in 1956, and is named in his honor.3 It is still in use to this day. Courtney's parents received his Medal of Honor on December 30, 1947, from Commandant of the Marine Corps General Alexander A. Vandegrift, and in 1955, his mother christened the destroyer escort U.S.S. Courtney (DE-1021) with the traditional bottle of champagne.3 The ship could carry 170 soldiers, weighed 1,877 tons, was 314 feet and six inches long, the top flank speed was 27 knots, and was in commission from 1956 to 1973, when it was finally sold for scrap on June 17th.5 The piece of Courtney's life that is still missing, John J. Cella, who works alongside with the St. Louis County Historical Society, is trying to locate Courtney's Medal of Honor so he can hang it in a place of honor that it deserves.
I see a lot of myself in Courtney; I am very appreciative to have been so well educated throughout my life and have the opportunity and means to further educate myself, yet I still want to do the humble thing and join the Air National Guard. Although I am sure I will not be as honorable as Courtney, I do feel much more inspired and motivated to join the military, as Henry Alexius Courtney Jr. is but only one of the grandest examples of why we should never forget any soldier in any war who fights for our country.

Research Tip
Land deeds typically involve a purchase or transfer of property from one individual or group of individuals to another. Occasionally deeds can help to establish a place and time of residence for an individual, list former or future residences of an individual, list family members and their relationships, imply dates of marriage or death, or list the names of close neighbors.

Beebe Healthcare's Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing invites those interested in entering the rewarding and challenging field of nursing to attend the School's semi-annual Open House on Saturday, April 8, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Alison Watson, MSN, RN, Admissions Chairperson, will be conducting information sessions every 30 minutes (11:30 last session) to discuss educational opportunities at the School of Nursing for those interested in the two-year, four semester curriculum which begins each August. Representatives from the University of Delaware will also be available. The School is located behind the Medical Center in Lewes.
The School of Nursing's program is known for offering comprehensive nursing education, providing education in basic nursing concepts, advanced technology, and critical care nursing. The curriculum provides optimal hands-on clinical experience that is more accessible due to the proximity of the Medical Center. The new School of Nursing building with state-of-the-art classrooms and simulation labs opened in July of 2015.
Upon completion, graduates are well prepared for RN licensure and entry-level nursing practice. Articulation agreements with the University of Delaware and Wilmington University facilitate the student's opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree. This degree can be obtained in one additional year with the University of Delaware or Wilmington University.
Pre-requisite college courses are required prior to enrollment in the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing program. A recent partnership with the University of Delaware Associate in Arts Program (AAP) will allow qualified students to take their prerequisite courses through the University of Delaware's AAP program. This pathway will enable the student to simultaneously earn their diploma in nursing as well as their Associate in Arts degree and ultimately their baccalaureate degree. Candidates may be eligible for SEED (Student Excellence Equals Degree) funding in their first year.
For more information and to register for the Open House, call the School of Nursing at (302) 645-3251.
