Manaswi is a student at Dover Court International School, Singapore. Her school doesn't have an Economics SL teacher, so she was offered the chance to take the subject online with Pamoja. During the course she got to know her classmates well, even though they live in different countries, and her learning benefited from their varied cultural perspectives.
Pamoja Taught courses are prepare students for the same assessments as traditional face-to-face courses. We put together a video providing an overview of how our courses work from a student perspective, in this case, an IB Diploma Programme student.
IB promotes intercultural and global understanding and that focus is evident every day that I discuss logarithms with a hundred teenagers from around the world, or am in a live lesson with students from Japan and Argentina, even more than in a standard classroom.
Through taking my Pamoja Mandarin course, I've become a lot more diligent in my work because I've been much more responsible for my own learning...instead of fulfilling somebody else's expectations I've been fulfilling my own and achieving a lot more.

Great article there Hilbert, congrats on the new score!
Def a shame about your Phase Change unit, wonder what you would have hit? 5Ghz!?
One other thing though, you mentioned you couldn't have benched any games as theres no support for Quad Sli, which is also a shame, however would have been cool if you popped out one GTX480 and ran a couple Tri Sli benches with that 980X with that overclock. Just to see how it scaled as it didn't do to well on your 965 @ 3.75Ghz.
Well done Hilbert! Truly crazy!
This is what we call a crazy hardware dream!!!!
Did you wake up Hilbert or are you still dreaming ?
Im sure you can find a custom "fixation head" build by some good name, try take a look on XS forums for this, i have allready see a lot of custom head for the 1366 who are sell there ... anyway, this make me think i need check for one for mine vapochill..
wow Hilbert that was an awesome article and that setup oh gosh! incredible, im sure you had lots of fun! hope to see more soon!
Now this is the dream PC that everybody wants, just install the game and max out everything on a 50' LED screen and spend the rest of your life in front of it.
But i want some game benchmarks !
I wish so badly to be you, right now!
Not bad, but power consumption is literally insane. It was using 2 horsepower!
ps: where can i download that guru 3d chick wallpaper? i can't find it..
ps: where can i download that wallpaper??
needs water... a whole jug of water!

Investor Vietnam's industrial real estate draws investors amid global uncertainty
Vietnam's industrial real estate draws investors amid global uncertainty
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China are driving increased real-estate investor interest to Southeast Asian countries, with Vietnam's industrial sector a key focal point.
With no clear end to the economic tussle in sight, piqued interest is likely to continue.
"The current trade tensions have led commentators to believe that Vietnam will benefit as companies look to redirect their supply chains to Southeast Asian countries," says Khanh Nguyen, Senior Director, Capital Markets, JLL Vietnam.
According to the country's Ministry of Planning and Investment, disbursement for Foreign Direct Investment was US$9.1 billion in the first half of 2019, up 8 percent from a year earlier. There were 1,723 newly registered projects worth US$7.41 billion, up 63 percent from a year earlier.
Geopolitical uncertainty is only part of the increase in investment. Free trade agreements – such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) – are also seen as positives. Meanwhile, demand for consumer goods is unlikely to abate due to the rising middle class and large labour force.
"Much of Vietnam's strong growth is underpinned by fundamentals such as a young population and a big middle class with increasing domestic consumption," says Khanh. "The manufacturing industry has been a significant driver of growth this year."
Manufacturing shift
Industrial and logistics assets in particular are attracted interest as companies look to shift manufacturing away from China to avoid U.S. tariffs. The average price for industrial land in Southern Vietnam is at US$95 per square meter per lease term, up 15.8 percent from a year ago, according to a JLL report.
"Investors are actively looking into joint ventures with local industrial developers, or the acquisition of land bank and operating assets," says Khanh. . "There has always been a strong demand for industrial spaces as companies have long been attracted to Vietnam's high productivity and low labour costs. But the U.S.-China trade tension has accelerated the urgency for businesses to relocate."
Sharp has announced plans to build a new plant in Vietnam, while American shoe company Brooks Running is moving its production from China to its southern neighbour.
Apple supplier Foxconn has expanded its presence in Vietnam, acquiring a local component manufacturer in July after getting the rights to use a factory in February. Even Chinese manufacturers are considering Vietnam – nearly 70 percent of 33 Chinese companies surveyed which are looking to expand overseas are choosing Vietnam as a base, according to research from Nikkei Asian Review.
But manufacturers who moved to Vietnam have groused about the pains of finding enough skilled workers and an adequate and sophisticated enough supply chain that manufacturers are used to in China. Khanh also cautions that infrastructure could struggle to keep up as more manufacturing business gets diverted to Vietnam.
"Many infrastructure projects in Vietnam face delays due to land compensation and funding. To attract more foreign investment, reap the benefits of companies moving here and stay ahead of the curve, Vietnam would need to improve its infrastructure network and the process of cross border trading," she says.

Q: Regex match ONLY new lines in quotes in a larger string I have a large CSV file and I want to find a regex capable of removing all new lines within quotes.
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,"c
123",d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
"a
123",b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,"d
1
2
3",
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123

In this example, I have multiple rows where there is a new line in the quotes and even one where there are multiple new lines. I need to remove all of these new lines provided that they are within quotes. Is this possible?
Expected result:
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,"c123",d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
"a123",b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,"d123",
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123

Node.js code:
var request = require('request')

request.post({
    url: '...',
}, function (error, response, body) {
    var formatted = body.replace(/.../g, '<#>')
})

A: You can use regex to match the content between quotes, then iterate through these matches and replace each one by the version without line-breaks...
let str = `a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,"c
123",d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
"a
123",b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,"d
1
2
3",
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123`;

const matches = str.match(/"[^"]+"/g);

matches.forEach(m => str = str.replace(m, m.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "")));

console.log(str);

Output in chrome console:
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,"c123",d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
"a123",b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,"d123",
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123,
a123,b123,c123,d123

Your Node.js code would be like this:
var request = require('request')

request.post({
    url: '...',
}, function (error, response, body) {
    let formatted = body;
    const matches = body.match(/"[^"]+"/g);
    matches.forEach(m => formatted = formatted.replace(m, m.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "")));
    console.log(formatted);
})

And This Is Why Millennials Get Such a Bad Rap
Millennials are entitled. They're narcissistic. They're spoiled and they're lazy.
Surely, you've heard all of this? And you've sighed, exasperated by the frequency of these stereotypical statements that fail to acknowledge that Millennials as a whole—like every other generation—include incredibly awesome, ambitious people, as well as those who aren't so great.
At The Muse, we avoid talking about Millennials too much for this very reason. And yet still, sometimes it's really hard to remember that the people making headlines (who check off every box on a person's list of Millennial problems) make up only a small sample size of the group.
A recent article in the New York Times focused on Millennial workplace behavior (see above for appropriate adjectives). Integrity, character, and honesty are notably absent throughout the piece. While many sections made me pause, the most memorable anecdote was that of 27-year-old Joel Pavelski, Director of Programming at digital news site Mic. Upon feeling burned out, he decided not to speak to his boss about taking a couple of personal days to recharge, but to fabricate a tale of friend's death. His supervisor, who reacted as any decent human being would, told him to take the time that he needed to deal with the tragedy.
The truly crazy thing about Pavelski's bold lie isn't that he made it up (after all, as he says "It's easy to say someone died. It's much harder to say, 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown'"), it's that he made no effort to keep it under wraps. That quote came from an article he wrote on Medium and published while "mourning," clearly revealing that he was not at a funeral, but outside, building a treehouse. For the insubordination, he received a slap on the wrist—one more indiscretion like that, and he's gone.
Like the disgruntled Yelp employee, who may or may not have considered the consequences of writing an open letter to her CEO outlining her many grievances with both the company and the organization's leader himself, these social media expressions aren't viewed as faux pas, even if others—Millennials included—can't stop shaking their head at the stupidity, the carelessness, and the callousness.
The stories don't exactly paint a pretty picture of those individuals born between 1981 and 2000, and that's a shame. As long as a certain entitled subset continue to act out (I'm sorry, but there's no other way to describe some of these well publicized incidents), it's going to remain difficult for people to see the whole picture and not be inclined to criticize an entire generation.
I agree with Joan Kuhl, founder of consulting company, Why Millennials Matter, who feels that part of the problem with the ever-growing bad rap is the fact that we don't often hear about the (much larger) class-act group, the professional twenty and thirty-somethings who wouldn't dare lie about a death to get out of work and who'd think twice before tweeting something negative about their job. And I guess it would be boring to write about the young professional who approached his manager about taking a day off to regroup and recharge, or about the entry-level staff member who found a way to address an issue of concern with his boss in a calm and respectful tone of voice. Indeed, these are not the kinds of things that make for great headlines.
So, if you're a Millennial, what can you do to get your older co-workers to stop buying into these trend pieces? Continue to show up at the office and be your awesome, ambitious self. No matter what generation's currently cool to bash (heard of Gen Z?), actions will always speak louder than words.
And if you're one of those co-workers, how should you react? Like you would react to any outlandish story—you'd recognize it as an anomaly and not as a clear sign that all the rumors are right. After all, you used to be that new generation, too—and you turned out OK.

Q: Prove that if $g = r +ip$ is analytic on $C$ and $r(x,y) \leq M$, with $M > 0$, for all $(x,y)\in C$, $g$ is constant. Let $g = r +ip$ be analytic on $C$.
If for some $M > 0$ we have $r(x,y) \leq M$ for all of $C$, then $g$ is constant.
The theorem is given without proof in my notes and I can't find any examples that is it applied to.
Can anybody help me understand its significance or prove it?


Co-presented by the Ayala Museum and Arndt Art Agency (A3), Urban Labyrinth features 18 new works by one of the leading artists in Philippine contemporary art. This collection of large-scale paintings, works under glass and on paper, and video, teeming with fantastical characters and hypnotic imagery, depict the complexity of life in informal urban settlements in the Philippines.
Tapaya's body of work is the amalgam of close and almost investigative observations of his milieu, careful meditations on Philippine social issues, and diligent study of the research and writings of historians, anthropologists, and philosophers. Lauded for seamlessly weaving the folk and the contemporary, for employing multiple indistinct vanishing points in one enormous plane, Tapaya's canvases blur our conventions of time and space.
His imagery and composition recall scenes from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, 16th-century Netherlandish artist, and Botong Francisco, Angono modernist muralist. But the landscape or genre in Tapaya's work cannot be described as gardens of earthly delights or joyful pastoral vistas. The visual lifeworld created by the artist is populated by ghoulish, surreal, ambiguous but identifiable characters, wreaking havoc or engaged in the mundane, among a cast of hundreds in his larger tableaux or isolated in his smaller paintings. Through the artist's mediation, they are simultaneously otherworldly and familiar, conjuring our own anxieties, troubles, and folly.
In Urban Labyrinth, Tapaya does not simply depict poverty as a hapless condition, but an independent state where people live their lives and engage with one another. The viewer sees both the economic and the social layers, formed and delineated through the alliances or tensions between Tapaya's characters, portraying a more intricate picture of destitution. Meanwhile, the two "Folk Narrative" paintings included in the exhibition depict the cultural attitudes that sustain these poor living conditions. In the end, they serve the same purpose as the myths and fables they appropriated: to allow us to discover ourselves and the valuable lessons in our allegories.
"In this exhibition, I tried to explore similar themes from Looban, an exhibition of works on burlap I presented in 2008 depicting the life and humor in Manila's slums, specifically from observations of an area called Krus na Ligas neighboring the University of the Philippines compound in Quezon City.
In Urban Labyrinth, I am expanding the original idea to tackle not just humor, but the deeper, buried aspects of life in the slums—from looban to kaloob-looban (innermost self). I am trying to show the complexities of Philippine informal settlements in general: the dreams of people hailing from the provinces which led them to find their luck in urbanized environments, and the conditions and problems they face that entangle and entrap them in a labyrinth of difficulties which they may not be able to find a way out of.


ORLANDO, FLA. — March 24, 2015 — Vertellus, a leading global supplier of additives to the plastics and polymer industries, is spotlighting advanced compounding, plasticizer and antioxidant technologies for the first time here at NPE 2015 (booth #S29145). For its NPE debut and as part of the company's presentation at the co-located ANTEC conference, Vertellus is showcasing its high-efficiency ZeMac® copolymers for upgrading nylon and other engineering plastics during compounding and other high-performance plastic additives. Vertellus continues to expand its portfolio of specialty additives to address major industry needs including sustainability, safety, regulatory compliance and cost control.
Impact modifiers added into nylon and other engineering plastics typically cause other properties to decline. Combining impact modifiers with ZeMac products results in significant restoration of heat deflection temperature (HDT) and mechanical properties at no additional cost. OEMs can design lighter-weight parts by leveraging this combination of higher impact, tensile, flex and HDT performance, which is currently possible only with much more costly plastics.
ZeMac copolymers also transform nylon into a shear-thinning material with high melt strength, expanding its potential applications into new areas such as profile extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming.
Ashok Adur, global commercial development director at Vertellus will discuss the importance of these copolymers in a presentation given at ANTEC titled "Using ZeMac® Copolymers to Reduce Costs in Nylon Compounds While Meeting Exacting Customer Performance Specifications." The paper will be presented on Wednesday, March 25 at 1:30pm in room S330F and will focus on the unique chemistry of these copolymer products and how they can reduce costs in nylon compounds and still meet performance specifications.
Addressing consumer concerns and regulatory action to avoid phthalate plasticizers, Vertellus' Citroflex® additives are manufactured without the use of phthalates. Citroflex plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers are derived from citric acid and offer rapid biodegradability. These bio-based, non-toxic additives have proven their safety in food contact and medical applications, such as medical blood bags and tubing, as well as children's toys. Citroflex products deliver superior tensile strength and ultimate elongation performance compared to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA). Further, they combine powerful solvent performance with low volatility to reduce leaching.
Vertellus also offers bio-based Flexricin® plasticizers, based on castor oil, and Paricin® plasticizers. Both of these product lines, which have historically proven themselves in lubricants, are now being expanded into polymer applications, such as plasticizers for polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and other engineering plastics used in electrical appliances such as vacuum cleaners, microwaves and coffee pots.
Morflex® aromatic plasticizers are another alternative to phthalate plasticizers. Although not bio-based, the plasticizers are relatively non-toxic and are used in a wide range of plastic applications, including packaging and PVC for automotive seat covers, hose jackets, wire and cable jackets, film and sheeting, belting and seals.
Vertellus' Topanol® antioxidants, with their low viscosity, higher molecular weight and resulting slow leach rate, provide an attractive replacement for bisphenol A (BPA), which has long raised concerns about toxicity. They are also much more cost-efficient than BPA, requiring only about one-tenth the concentration, and are faster to dissolve. This advanced Vertellus technology is widely used in PVC for automotive under the hood wiring, as well as for medical applications and food contact packaging.
Topanol antioxidants also provide exceptional compatibility with secondary additives such as ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers and provide excellent protection from oxidative degradation, including weathering and exposure to high temperatures during processing. They are commonly used in PVC wire and cable jacketing and as a super-efficient antioxidant stabilizer in nylon and styrenics such as acrylonitrile-styrene (SAN) copolymers.

[Refers to a photo of a member of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) sleeping during a session discussing the massive new national budget.
As the NLA is the junta's rubber-stamp assembly, packed with cronies who get large salaries as well as funds to hire relatives and friends as assistants, the spectacle of fat assembly members napping while momentous budget issues are explained is yet another stain on the junta's attempt to show they a serious governing force of dedicated, nonpartisan people.

During the Civil War, Kennesaw was the home of the Great Locomotive Chase on April 12, 1862. An abundance of water and high ground adjacent to the railroad led to the construction of worker's shanties near the present day Kennesaw, becoming known as "The Big Shanty". During the American Civil War, Big Shanty was the site of major fighting in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.
Every April the annual Big Shanty Festival in Kennesaw displays over 200 arts and crafts booths along with 20 food booths. The festival brings roughly 60,000 people to Kennesaw each year. In 2008, the city of Kennesaw awarded a bid to Digital Wireless for the implementation of a city wireless internet. In March of 2008, the city of Kennesaw announced the grand opening of four wireless areas. This feature was one of its kind, making Kennesaw one of the first cities in the state of Georgia to provide this feature. Kennesaw made national news when the town passed an ordinance requiring the head of every household residing in the city limits to own a firearm and ammunition. Kennesaw is home to numerous attractions such as the 18 miles of trails wrapping around Kennesaw Mountain. Kennesaw State University is located in Kennesaw and continues to grow, recently adding a football program.

HomeUncategorized Floatation therapy featured on Shark Tank, also known as sensory deprivation.
Floatation therapy featured on Shark Tank, also known as sensory deprivation.
Floatation therapy + Shark Tank! Floatation therapy, also known as sensory deprivation was just featured on shark tank. We're sure you have tons of questions – Here's what you need to know.
What is floatation therapy (also known as sensory deprivation)?
Floatation therapy involves laying in a pool of concentrated salt water, typically in silence in darkness, though most facilities allow you to customize your experience with music and lighting options. Floatation therapy pods, tanks, or pools contain around 1500 lbs of Epsom salt, so the body will be completely buoyant.
What are the benefits of floatation therapy/ sensory deprivation?
The physical benefits of floatation therapy include decreased pain and inflammation, better sleep, and detoxification from heavy metals and other toxins. The salt contains magnesium, which is absorbed by the body and releases muscle tension. This is why many world class athletes use floatation therapy as a recovery tool. Other benefits of magnesium include an increase in serotonin productive and increased energy and stamina. Epsom salt has also been shown to help prevent migraines and improve nerve function.
The mental benefits of floatation therapy are reduced anxiety, stress and depression. In a sensory deprivation environment, the mind is also able to shift into a brainwave state that is both relaxed and creative, allowing for new ideas, vivid visualizations, and problem solving. Whether you are looking to do a deep meditation or just chill out, being in a sensory deprivation environment can help ease your mind.
Do I have to float in a float tank? And what if I'm claustrophobic?
The short answer is NO. Try a Float Room instead! There are lots of options here! Float rooms are the much more spacious option. Even better are open float rooms, which is what our facility at LifeFloat Seattle offers. And if you are claustropic, check out our post on floating and claustrophobia and let us help you put your worries at ease!
What's the difference between a float pod and float room?
Float pods (and tanks) are most commonly found in float spas. They are free-standing, enclosed environments with a lid or hatch to drown out light and sound. Typically a more enclosed space than a float room, and because of this the air can feel a bit stagnant as well.
Float rooms (or pools) are open-air, more spacious float environments that allow for the same sensory deprivation experience without the common concern of being claustrophobic. Float rooms are usually big enough to stand up in, and our open float room at LifeFloat are even more spacious than this.
Considered the Rolls Royce of floating, open float rooms are the ideal way to enjoy your float. The air stays fresh, and you don't have to worry about that lone drop of water dripping on your face or in your eye (yikes!), and ruining your whole float! One little drop of water might sound silly, but it can be a big deal when you are in a deep blissful floatation therapy session!
Open float rooms are exactly that, more open than pods or rooms, and are designed to make you feel completely at ease – no worries of ever having trouble getting out, (of course this is ever rarely an issue anyway), and no smells of stagnant chlorine water. Open float rooms that have a shower AND a bathroom are even better, making getting out of the tank to go to the bathroom soooooo much easier. Since open float rooms are the largest floating environment, they can accommodate just about any size person, with room to stretch out so you aren't bumping into the sides and disrupting your float. (Hint: LifeFloat is the only place in Seattle with special open float rooms like these!) Find more info on pools vs pods here!
The LifeFloat Difference – A Luxury Floatation Therapy / Sensory Deprivation Experience.
Get Your First Float Deal – Only $39 – Limited Time Offer!
At LifeFloat, we have only expansive open-air pools that allow you to stretch out. This is the PERFECT place for first-time floaters! Since there is no lid to shut you in, the air quality might feel less stagnant than in an enclosed floating environment such as a float pod, or float tank. LifeFloat not only offers a solo pool in each of our rooms, but guests enjoy an entire suite to themselves, equipped with a shower and toilet, for a completely private experience. Another way LifeFloat is different than other float spas is by using hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet light to clean our water as opposed to chlorine. We value our guests' desire to be as natural and free of harsh chemicals as possible while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness.

Water resources policy and management, with focus on negotiated decision making, the role of science in policy and decisions, groundwater recharge and recovery, sustainability and growth, and climate change.
Susanna collaborates on development and implementation of research and outreach programs with relevance to Arizona water resource policy and management. She manages and conducts applied research projects and dissemination of research results. She oversees development of the WRRC's regular publication and edits the quarterly newsletter, Arizona Water Resource.
The WRRC is pleased to announce the publication of our 2018 Arroyo, "Water and Irrigated Agriculture in Arizona." A comprehensive summary of Arizona's irrigated agriculture, this Arroyo contains a brief history from early indigenous practices to the present and descriptions of current centers of irrigated agriculture. There are discussions of issues relating to water use by irrigated agriculture, the legal and regulatory context, water challenges, and water efficiency and conservation. It concludes with a look toward future opportunities.
Successful implementation of environmental flow projects depends on land and water managers having clear objectives and access to reliable data. This guidebook provides information on a variety of methods that can be utilized under different fiscal or temporal constraints to determine and implement appropriate environmental flow targets.
Stakeholder participation is a foundation of good water governance. Good groundwater governance typically involves the co-production of knowledge about the groundwater system. Models provide a vehicle for producing this knowledge, as well as a "boundary object" around which scientists and stakeholders can convene the co-production process.
The potable reuse of water has occurred throughout time as communities that grew up along rivers took their supplies from the river and disposed of their waste into the same river.
There is an acknowledged gap between future water demand and supply available in Arizona. In some parts of Arizona, the gap exists today, where water users have been living on groundwater for a while, often depleting what can be thought of as their water savings account. In other places, active water storage programs are adding to water savings accounts.

Financial support for medical and dental students
Students on university courses in medicine (recognised by the General Medical Council) and dentistry (recognised by the General Dental Council) may be eligible for financial help from the NHS as part of their course.
Funding for medical and dental courses varies between England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. This page describes the funding arrangements for those studying medicine or dentistry on standard five year and accelerated courses in England.
See further information to find out more about the system in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The information here is for guidance only. In all cases, make sure you contact the relevant funding authority as regulations can change and individual circumstances vary.
Make sure you contact the relevant funding authority as regulations can change and individual circumstances vary.
If you are accepted onto an approved course, you might be eligible to receive financial support from the NHS. The timing of when this is provided depends on the type of course you are doing.
Funding for undergraduate students on standard five-year courses
Gaining admission to the standard five-year courses means you are entitled to receive student loans from Student Finance England for maintenance and tuition fees in the first four years.
From year five onwards, tuition fees will be paid by the NHS Student Bursary Scheme and you will be eligible to apply for a means-tested NHS bursary to cover maintenance costs and a reduced maintenance loan from Student Finance England.
Students will also have access to a non-means tested grant of £1,000 as part of their NHS Bursary award.
Graduates on five year courses in medicine and dentistry
The arrangements for graduate medical and dental students on a five year course are different. In the first four years of the course, they would not be eligible to receive a loan for tuition fees or a maintenance grant regardless of whether or not they have previously received funding. However, students may be able to apply for a full, income based, maintenance loan from Student Finance England. From year five of the training, graduate medical and dental students receive the same support as undergraduate medical and dental students (see above).
Find out more about student finance (including Student Finance England) on the Gov.uk website
Funding for accelerated courses
Graduate-entry students starting an accelerated 4-year course will have to self-fund the first £3,465 of their tuition fees in the first year. In the subsequent years of their course, the NHS Bursary scheme will pay up to £3,715 towards their tuition fees.
In year one of the graduate programme, a loan of up to £5,785 will be available to students from Student Finance England to cover the difference between £3,465 and the tuition charges of their universities, to a maximum charge of £9,250 (in 2020/21). For years two to four of the programme, the available tuition fee loan will be up to £5,535 to make up the difference.
You may also be eligible to take out a loan from Student Finance England to help with living costs.
Funding for 2021/22
Funding for 2021/22 is not known yet.
This page will be updated when information becomes available.
Contact the university/universities you are planning to apply to, to find out if the course you are applying to is an approved course and attracts NHS financial support. Use our course finder to search for approved courses.
To be eligible for financial support from the NHS, you must meet certain criteria. Please visit the NHS Student Bursaries' website for more information including:
the financial support available
an online bursary calculator
how the process of applying for financial support works
the latest rates
details of the NHS Hardship Grant

Additional information for prospective medical students
See also the Medical Student Finance Guide on the British Medical Association website. This explains the financial arrangements as they apply to medical students including the payment of tuition fees, student loans and other support for maintenance costs.
Which funding authority do I apply to for NHS financial support?
You apply to the funding authority of the UK country you usually live in, regardless of whether you plan to study in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Regina couple facing 73 charges for fraud, identity theft
A Regina couple is jointly facing 73 charges related to identity theft and fraud.
The offences occurred in the city between July 2, 2018, and June 14, 2019, according to Regina police.
The charges are a result of an investigation by police's commercial crime unit.
Logan Lee Cardinal, 26, and Kassa Lee McManhus-Bohach, 22, were initially arrested on May 9 in an apartment in the 800-block of Empress Street.
A search was executed that day and investigators found about 3,000 documents belonging to 96 different identities. Computer and printing equipment were also seized.
Police said it's alleged Cardinal and McManhus-Bohach would gather information about potential victims, then forge documents such as bank statements, pay stubs, driver's licences, and status cards. The couple would then apply for loans, credit cards, and bank accounts using their victims' identity.
Cardinal and McManhus-Bohach were re-arrested on July 3 from a hotel room in the 1900-block of Rupert Street. Police said they found a computer, printer/scanner, and ID documents, as well as items fraudulently purchased using other people's identities. The two people were then charged with numerous offences.
Cardinal is facing 43 charges including 16 charges of identity theft, 14 charges of fraud, forgery, and making and possessing counterfeit money.
WATCH (Aug. 14, 2018): Immigration fraud charges laid against Saskatoon man
McManhus-Bohach is facing 30 charges — 22 of them jointly with Cardinal — including 12 charges of identity theft, nine charges of identity fraud, four charges of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, and forgery.
Cardinal appeared in Regina provincial court on May 10 initially, and again on July 4 after further investigation leading to 36 remaining charges for him.
McManhus-Bohach was in court on July 4.

Immunizations Required for 11-Year-Olds Entering 6th Grade
The Arizona Department of Health Services requires that all 11-year-old children entering sixth grade obtain two adolescent vaccines, Tdap and Meningococcal (MCV4), or provide a valid exemption. These new immunizations are important as they will provide protection against serious illness.
Tdap is a combination vaccine that provides protection against three bacterial diseases — Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Whooping Cough). Meningococcal prevents against four types of bacterial meningitis.
Parents should review their child's immunization records. If these vaccinations have not been received, the child should obtain the vaccination at either their doctor's office or an immunization clinic. Proof of immunizations will need to be received before the student can begin school on August 6.
Students who do not have these required shots, or a valid exemption, will not be allowed to start school. Children who are not yet 11 will be required to get the new immunizations once they turn 11.

El llac Adams, situat a la Colúmbia Britànica, és un dels llacs més profunds del món, amb 500 m de fondària màxima.

Característiques
El nom ve d'un cabdill indi de la tribu dels Shuswap. Aquesta comunitat continua celebrant actes rituals periòdics a la vora del llac, especialment el grup denominat Adams Lake Indian Band. També s'han organitzat actes de protesta diversos, com la manifestació per intentar impedir la construcció d'una zona de lleure sobre un antic cementiri en 1995. El cabdill Adams va morir en 1862 per una epidèmia de verola que va causar la mort de més de la meitat dels shuswap. Va esdevenir un símbol de la resistència a l'assimilació cultural i per aquest motiu es va canviar de nom el llac en honor seu. Anteriorment es deia Mumix, especialment la part del nord.

La part superior del llac s'endinsa entre les muntanyes Monashee i la inferior en la regió del Shuswap, on hi ha altres llacs rellevants. L'aigua arriba del riu Adams, el riu Momich i el Bush Creek. Desaigua a través del Lower Adams cap al llac Shuswap i d'allà passa al riu Thompson. Aquest desemboca al riu Fraser per acabar a l'Oceà Pacífic, al delta de Fraser, a prop de Vancouver. L'aigua triga uns deu anys a renovar-se completament comptant els intercanvis amb els rius, l'evaporació i les precipitacions.

El peix més abundant del llac és el salmó vermell, que atreu molts pescadors. Altres espècies que viuen a les seves aigües són la truita arc de Sant Martí, el Salvelinus malma i el Salvelinus namaycush. A les seves ribes es poden veure exemplars de cérvol mul, d'ós negre americà i pumes. L'entorn està format per roques, boscos i elevacions diverses.

La zona que envolta el llac està protegida i forma part del parc natural d'Adams Lake Provincial Park. Els arbres que predominen són el trèmol, el bedoll, el Pseudotsuga menziesii i el salze. La fusta que es pot talar està protegida però dona peu a una important indústria local, llastada per la manca de comunicacions per carretera. No hi ha ciutats rellevants properes, donat el relleu abrupte de la regió. La població més propera és Chase, a 30 km de distància. La costa del llac inclou alguna petita cala rocallosa que s'usa per banyar-se a les seves aigües, malgrat les baixes temperatures que solen rondar. S'hi acostuma a practicar també esquí aquàtic.

Using brick veneer and metal studs for strong walls
The brick veneer/metal stud (BV/MS) backup exterior wall assembly was invented in New England in the 1970s. This type of system was formed to substitute the more expansive concrete masonry unit (CMU) backup wall because it is installed much more quickly. Now, new innovations have improved the assembly further.

Scotiahavet er et randhav til Sydishavet som ligger nord for Antarktishalvøen. Det blev navngitt i 1932 efter ekspeditionsskibet "Scotia"m som blev benyttet på Scotia-ekspeditionen (1902–04) i dette område. Scotiahavet afgrænses i nord af Ildlandet og Falklandsøerne, i vest af Drakestrædet, i øst af øgruppene Syd-Georgia og Sydsandwichøerne og i syd af Sydorkneyøerne og Antarktishalvøen. Dele af området udgør Scotiapladen, og dele ligger over Sydamerikas kontinentalsokkel. Havet dækker et areal på cirka 900.000 km² med en gennemsnitsdybde på cirka 4.500 m og største dypde på cirka 5.840 m.

I 1916 gennemførte den britiske polarforsker Ernest Shackleton sammen med fire andre ekspeditionsmedlemmer en rejse over Scotiahavet efter, at deres fartøj "Endurance" var blevet knust i isen. Mandskabet brugte to uger på at krydse Scotiahavet fra Elephant Island til Syd-Georgia i den åbne redningsbåd "James Caird".

The US public service news network, C-Span has a 38 minute video of last Monday's first appeal before the what they described as "the new British Supreme Court." It begins with an interview with Joshua Rozenberg "on the phone" from a London phone box (see his blog posting). The screenshot to the right shows Rabinder Singh QC.
After the interview with Joshua Rozeberg, at just over 9 minutes the video has a long clip of the submissions of "Tim Owen, Lead Counsel for the Appellants" (C-Span describes him). The video then has another 28 minutes of footage of the hearing.
This video is of particular interest to C-Span as video footage of the US Supreme Court is not available. As we pointed out in an earlier post, video footage and webcasts of the Canadian Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights is available on the internet. There are no immediate plans for webcasts of the Supreme Court.

When I'm working with a player for the NFL Combine or their pro day, my goal is to support the player and trainer's goals by resolving small injuries before they come chronic. With most combine participants taking on a 7-9 week training program, we need to be ready for injuries and other biomechanical obstacles that may arise.
This is the same type of maintenance care I provide athletes mid-season to prevent repetitive stress injuries, increase flexibility and mobility, balance muscle groups, etc. If the type of training you're doing for combine prep is different from the program you were in previously, we should spend part of our time to make sure any form of repetitive motion injury doesn't arise from working new techniques.
Knowing some basics about injury prevention, could absolutely enhance and lengthen your career. There are a number of self-treatment skills that I teach athletes, to be their own best therapist.


NEW YORK - Pakistan Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif today said he exchanged pleasantries with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj and inquired about her health, Economic Times has reported.
Asif told a group of Pakistani journalists at anews conference that they exchanged pleasantries at a diplomatic reception here.
Swaraj, according to Asif, said she is doing fine now.
The External Affairs Minister last year underwent a kidney transplant surgery at theAIIMS in New Delhi.
However, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar did not respond to questions over the exchange of pleasantries between the two leaders.

Ah, finals week. The perfect time for "oh my god, why isn't my paper formatting right?"
So in that spirit, I wanted to share two of the problems I've helped panicked students with repeatedly in the past few days.
You've got this weird, possibly slightly differently colored dead space on the right side of your document that you can't get rid of and is messing up your print outs. This area is supposed to be where your document "comments" go, and when there are no comments it is supposed to vanish, but sometimes it doesn't seem to want to do that.
To remove that area, go to the Review tab, and then look for the "Tracking" section of your menu ribbon. It will have the option to Track Changes, Show Mark Up, Reviewing Pane, and a drop down menu. You'll want to change the menu from "Original: Show Markup" or "Final: Show Markup" to simply the "Original" or "Final" option, and that should suppress the comments area.
The printer is only printing out every other page of your document (in particular this is for public printers such as in a computer lab or the library).
This one I can't really do screen caps for, because depending on a few things your interface may be different. Here's the important part. When you go into the print menu in whatever program you're using (Word, Acrobat, whatever), open up the printer properties, it should be a text hyperlink right near where the printer selection is shown. Once that is open look for Effects or just hit through all the tabs until you find one that has an option for double sided printing. Uncheck/turn off/whatever the double-sided printing option. Chances are the double sided printing for the machine requires manually reloading the pages that have all the odd numbered pages so that it can print the even numbered pages on the backs of those pages.
As a caveat, sometimes public printers do fully support double sided printing, and you do indeed want to use double sided printing. In that case make sure that the printer properties are not expecting you to manually flip and reload the pages .

Q: mulithreading environment and modules like pickle or json I am  using "import threading" and python 3.4.
Simple case, I have one main parent thread and one child thread. I need to save my dict to file from child thread. In thread function I have variable:
def thread_function(...)
    def save_to_file():
        this_thread_data.my_dict or nonlocal this_thread_data.my_dict
        ... json or pickle

    this_thread_data = local()
    this_thread_data.my_dict = {...}
    ...

When I use pickle I get error
_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class '_thread.lock'>: attribute lookup lock on _thread failed

When I use json I get error
TypeError: <threading.Event object at 0x7f49115a9588> is not JSON serializable

Will pickle or json work in multithreading environment or I need to use something else instead?
Thank you.

A: Python threading (and multiprocessing) and pickling is broken and limited unless you jump outside the standard library.
If you use a fork of multiprocessing called pathos.multiprocesssing, you can directly use classes and class methods in multiprocessing's map functions.  This is because dill is used instead of pickle or cPickle, and dill can serialize almost anything in python. pathos.multiprocessing provides an interface to the threading module, just like the standard python module does.
pathos.multiprocessing also provides an asynchronous map function… and it can map functions with multiple arguments (e.g. map(math.pow, [1,2,3], [4,5,6]))
See:
What can multiprocessing and dill do together?
and:
http://matthewrocklin.com/blog/work/2013/12/05/Parallelism-and-Serialization/
>>> from pathos.multiprocessing import ProcessingPool as Pool
>>> #from pathos.multiprocessing import ThreadingPool as Pool
>>>
>>> p = Pool(4)
>>>
>>> def add(x,y):
...   return x+y
...
>>> x = [0,1,2,3]
>>> y = [4,5,6,7]
>>>
>>> p.map(add, x, y)
[4, 6, 8, 10]
>>>
>>> class Test(object):
...   def plus(self, x, y):
...     return x+y
...
>>> t = Test()
>>>
>>> p.map(Test.plus, [t]*4, x, y)
[4, 6, 8, 10]
>>>
>>> p.map(t.plus, x, y)
[4, 6, 8, 10]

Having unusual stuff in a dict, doesn't matter…
>>> d = {'1':add, '2':t, '3':Test, '4':range(10), '5':1}
>>>
>>> def items(x):
...   return x[0],x[1]
...
>>> p.map(items, d.items())
[('1', <function add at 0x103b7e2a8>), ('3', <class '__main__.Test'>), ('2', <__main__.Test object at 0x103b7ad90>), ('5', 1), ('4', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])]

By the way, if you wanted to pickle a thread lock, you can do that too.
>>> import dill as pickle
>>> import threading
>>> lock = threading.Lock()
>>>
>>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(lock))
<thread.lock object at 0x10c534650>

It looks like you wanted to build some sort of closure that would automatically store function calls to a file or at least to a serialized string.  If that's what you want,
you could try klepto, which gives you a decorator that you apply to your function and
you get caching to memory or disk or to a database.  Klepto can use pickle or json,
but it's augmented by dill, so it can serialize almost anything in python -- so don't
worry about what's in your dict… just serialize it.
from klepto import lru_cache as memoize
from klepto.keymaps import picklemap
dumps = picklemap(serializer='dill')

class Adder(object):
    """A simple class with a memoized method"""

    @memoize(keymap=dumps, ignore=('self','**'))
    def __call__(self, x, *args, **kwds):
        debug = kwds.get('debug', False)
        if debug:
            print ('debug:', x, args, kwds)
        return sum((x,)+args)
    add = __call__

add = Adder()
assert add(2,0) == 2
assert add(2,0,z=4) == 2          # cached (ignore z)
assert add(2,0,debug=False) == 2  # cached (ignore debug)
assert add(1,2,debug=False) == 3
assert add(1,2,debug=True) == 3   # cached (ignore debug)
assert add(4) == 4
assert add(x=4) == 4              # cached

Klepto enables you to have all your cached results available when you restart your code.
In that case, you'd pick some file or database backend, then ensure you do a add.dump() to the archive… then restart python or whatever, and do add.load() to load the archived results.
Get the code here:
 https://github.com/uqfoundation

A: Using pickle and json will work fine in a multi-threaded environment (but probably is not thread-safe so make sure the data you're pickling can't changing at the time, for example by using a lock). The catch is that you will be restricted to the kind of data you can actually save to disk.
Not all objects are serialisable, as you have found. The simplest approach is to make sure your dictionary only has values that are compatible with pickle or the json serialiser. For example, you seem to have stored a lock object in your dictionary that is making pickle fail. You might want to create a new dictionary with only the values that can be pickled, and then pickle that.
Alternatively, if you want to create a custom object to store your data, you can tell pickle exactly how to pickle it. This is more advanced and probably unnecessary in your case, but you can find more documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/pickle.html#pickling-class-instances

A: There are better ways to share data between threads. If you're open to using processes instead of threads, I would recommend the python 'multiprocessing' module, specifically the 'Manager' class: https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#managers. Here is a toy example:
from multiprocessing import Manager, Process

def on_separate_process(alist):
   print alist

manager = Manager()
alist = manager.list([1,2,3])

p = Process(target=on_separate_process, args=[alist])
p.start()

prints [1,2,3]

Cinema rehiyon 12: Cinema centenary at the crossroads of the regions
On its 12th year, Cinema Rehiyon continues to gather films filmmakers from the regions as it celebrates the centenary of Philippine Cinema.
From February 24 to 29, all roads lead to Naga City as venue for the festival showcasing the harvest of the year 2019.
As a platform for shaping and redefining Philippine Cinema from regional perspectives, featuring narratives and nuances of filmmaking, with cinema as creative expression of cultural value and heritage; looking forward to another hundred years of cinematic treasure.
The logo:
The event logo is seen like floating on water, as Bicol is an archipelago, mostly surrounded by water. The golden color on the word CINEMA reflects the devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia, Bicol's regional patroness. (A film has been devoted in her honor on the 300th year of the devotion.) The figure 1 of 12 is in the shape of a water snake from which the name NAGA is taken. It has a crown, as one of the first three royal cities in the Philippines as declared by Spain during its colonial years. (The two other cities are Manila and Cebu.). The figure 2 of 12 is, of course, the classic film strip taking shape from river flow in blue color on the word REHIYON depicting the winding curves and meandering course of the river flow from which the name of the region is derived.
The overlapping strips of film forming as "O" of the word REHIYON is a regular fixture of the festival logo. The Theme: Sarong Gatos sa Sanga-sangang Dalan
This year's theme pays tribute to the Centenary of Philippine Cinema dubbed as "Sine Sandaan". Thus, if the theme is in Tagalog, Sandaan sa Sanga-sangang Daan. But keeping our pride in the Bicol language elevates the meaning of "Daan", not only referring to the crossroads of the regions as they endeavor to show and showcase films. In the Bicol language, Daan is DALAN which can have two meanings: "a road" and "an act of viewing"; which could refer to film language's POV (point of view) or views from the filmmakers, screenwriters, cast and crew, viewers and even critics.

Ban deplores recent upsurge in anti-Semitic incidents since start of Gaza conflict
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has deplored the recent upsurge in anti-Semitic attacks, particularly in Europe, in connection with protests concerning the escalation of violence in Gaza.
"The Secretary-General emphasizes that the conflict in the Middle East must not constitute a pretext for prejudice that could affect social peace and harmony anywhere," said a statement issued late yesterday evening by Mr. Ban's spokesperson in New York.
According to media reports, since the start nearly a month ago of the Gaza conflict, demonstrations against the violence in several European countries and elsewhere have sparked anti-Semitic attacks, hate speech and, in some instances, even violence.
"I firmly believe that the conflict needs to be solved through an immediate cessation of violence and negotiations," said the Secretary-General in his statement.

Dumb? Sure, but if you actually allowed a little tolerance, I could see where this might keep parking spaces in front of urban take-out spots free of all day parkers.
Of course, it's much easier to just charge the correct price for the space if that's the goal.
