Although the demand for nurses continues to rise, the competition to get into a nursing program, especially if it is top-ranked, can be highly competitive because of the number of applicants versus the available openings. Every nursing program has its specific admission requirements, but overall, attaining the relevant education, gaining relevant experience, meeting the other prerequisites and submitting a comprehensive application helps in securing admission into nursing school.
Applicants have various choices for nursing school. They may either apply for a university program in a Bachelor of Science in nursing or complete any number of vocational nursing school programs to attain an associate degree, licensed practical nurse or registered nurse qualifications. In any case, applicants ought to have obtained a high school diploma and achieved a high GPA. High school courses such as biology, psychology, math, chemistry and English are relevant to nursing practice and can help applicants get into nursing school. Some nursing schools have preadmission tests, and applicants can undertake practice exams to prepare for the same and enhance their chances of success.
Obtaining relevant experience in the healthcare field is an indication of interest, enthusiasm and initiative; and it helps applicants get into nursing school. Applicants may gain experience through voluntary assignments at a local hospital, school health clinic or other facility involved in patient care. Certified nurse assistants and licensed practical nurses who obtain certification after undertaking short vocational training courses can refer to their employment experience in their applications to degree or associate degree nursing programs.
Nursing school programs may have various other prerequisites that an applicant must demonstrate to be considered for admission. A nursing school admissions committee may require a personal statement or essay detailing why the applicant wants to join the nursing profession, SAT or ACT scores, and preprofessional or foundational programs as part of the application process. In some universities and colleges such as Georgia Highlands College, admission to the nursing school program is conditional upon gaining entry into the university; an applicant has to meet both the institution's general requirements and nursing school's specific provisions.
Since competition to get into nursing school is intense, applicants would do well to ensure that their application is properly and completely filled out together with all the supporting documents attached. The nursing school admissions committee is likely to be more impressed with an application that meets all the stated requirements, is properly organized, and is handed in on time because these schools usually have strict admission deadlines. According to Dean Cadray of the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, some of the common mistakes that cost applicants their chance at college entry include incomplete answers to important questions, missing letters of recommendation, poorly organized resumes and personal statements that lack depth and thought.
Rnbuilder.com: Why Is Getting Into Nursing School So Competitive?


I wonder if I'll ever land on a favorite material and stop the constant quest for new laser experiences?! Naw…I don't think so. It's too darned much fun. So…anodized aluminum was my next thing. I bought some business card-sized ones to try and wow…they came out beautifully. Only thing that I was displeased about was that when I did the reverse side, no matter how carefully I tried to place some text or an image, it was always not centered. I moved it always toward the left side to compensate, but it was still never enough. Tips? Anyway, the engraving came out amazingly well. Anodized aluminum is now one of my big favorites. Now, if I can just figure out the centering issue, it will be wonderful. I bought a 12"x12" Seklema mat, as was mentioned here on the forum by @cynd11 in reference to a gift from @shollg. The mat was very expensive, but I can sure see myself using it a lot. It was fantastic when doing these aluminum cards. I didn't want to lay them on the metal grate…and also, because they are black, I needed something that would allow me to see them in the UI. Perfect solution…and they hung onto the mat like a charm.
I made one for both of my brothers and one for my son (the voice over guy)…and have decided that 'pocket art' could be a thing. I've actually seen these same kind of aluminum cards for sale on Amazon for $17…engraved with a special sentiment or verse to give as a gift for someone to carry in their wallet or pocket. Hmmm…go figure!
This is my son's logo on the back…to which I will have to dedicate more time to making it work for engraving. Looks pretty horrible here…but hey, this was an experimental run!
And last but not least, in action…the machine we all know and love.
Oh…and I used the logo markings on the Seklema mat to get some semblance of alignment on the mat and it worked surprisingly well.
Anodized Photo Engraving on iPod - Oh, Punky Pewster!
Perhaps you could run the job once on a sacrificial material like cardboard, then place the aluminum centered on top of that, and repeat the job?
you might consider making a jig with a design that takes up the entire workspace. that would let you place these repeatably if you end up selling them. you could do it in cardboard, as suggested above, and remove your cardboard cutouts, replacing them with the aluminum ones.
Very nice! I still haven't tried aluminum, looks like fun!
@Scott.Burns and jrnelson…it's not a problem aligning an individual card. Engraving the original image/text on one side, then flipping it over to do the other side is where the difficulty comes in placing a second image/text on the reverse side dead center. I would agree…a jig for multiple pieces would work, but there's still the centering issue. I did the jig thing for some things I made for our family get-together recently and it worked very well.
Thank you…I had forgotten about that thread and reread the whole thing. A very good test and as soon as I can lay my hands on some graph paper, I'll sure give it a try. I copy/pasted your post and downloaded your crosshair file.I did use the keyboard nudging when trying it 'freehand', but could never quite get it right. Frustrating.
The jigging suggested above works for front & backs. Just do your front work in Affinity then save it as the back and replace the text/graphics. If you outlined your object (aluminum card) leave the outline in both so the alignment is correct - just ignore it in the GFUI.
If you do this on a 20x12 document in Affinity and don't move anything in the GFUI you'll get spot on placement for the backs. Just use the file once to cut out your rectangle(s) from your cardboard and you'll be good from there on.
Add the text and graphics for the front of the card. Convert the text to outline. Make the fill color for the front text red.
3.Create the text for the BACK of the card. Convert that to outline. Make the fill for the back text BLUE.
Here comes the freaky part - align the backside text inside of the rectangle, right over the top of the graphics and the red text. It's not going to matter to the GFUI.
Save the file as an SVG.
Put a piece of scrap ply or cardboard into the machine and TAPE IT DOWN. You don't want it to move.
Cut the rectangle. Set everything else to Ignore.
Open the lid and remove the center cut for the rectangle.
Put your tag into the hole.
Engrave the front of the tag.
Open the lid and turn the tag over.
Here's the trick though - you can continue to use the jig you created as long as you don't close the open file in the interface or turn off the machine, or move the jig. If you have set up the file using a 12" x 20" work space like James mentions above, you can probably re-use the jig as well after you close everything out, but you'll need to make sure that the jig is anchored against two points so that you can place it exactly the next time.
Thanks for both tips. I can't believe how dense I feel sometimes. People suggest the obvious and I just don't seem to 'get it'. It hadn't even occurred to me to outline the cards…which seems would help aligning, immensely…so apologies to Scott and JR…they had the right idea, too. Your solution has been suggested to me before, but as I said…dense. Thanks! The old create and ignore process!
Thank you very much, Jules. Please see reply to Jim Hatch.


Celebrate finishing this challenge as you paddle downriver to a picturesque Caribbean beach.
If there's one country that has every possible challenge for a great adventure it has to be Costa Rica with a tropical climate that supports an incredible biodiversity encompassing thick rain forest, mangrove swamp and a handful of live volcanoes thrown in for good measure, the result is a destination made for adventure.
This Costa Rican coast to coast multi–activity challenge has it all, covering 250km, you will hike, bike, kayak and white water raft across the Continental Divide on an epic team journey from the edge of the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the Caribbean Sea and experience the breath taking beauty of Central America. The only requirement is a great sense adventure and a dose of stamina. Rest time is as important as being active, so we will have plenty of time to rest up each day in different locations having trekked, cycled or paddled to incredible overnight points. Our itinerary has been carefully designed by our fantastic local team who completed the first coast to coast crossing of Costa Rica in 1996.
Preparation is key for this journey from the Caribbean to the Pacific. To complete the coast to coast adventure comfortably, it is preferable that you have previous experience of multi-day treks and cycling in varied and irregular terrain. The trekking or cycling sections are not technically difficult, however you must be a confident with a good level of fitness in order to manage the long duration of challenge with crossing the country. The more you prepare, the more you will enjoy your experience.
The regions we visit on the trip are very remote and you should be prepared to spend time in areas where facilities and services are limited. Roads are mostly unpaved and although well-maintained they can be bumpy and dusty. Due to the unpredictability of the climate, you will also need to be prepared for all conditions as the weather can change extremely rapidly.
Trekking and cycling hours stated are given as approximates only. Timings stated include lunch and photo stops and will vary depending on the pace of your group.
No previous experience in kayaking or white water rafting is necessary, however you are required to be comfortably capable of swimming 25m or more.
Rest assured you will not be alone – we will be on hand to support you on this epic journey, with comprehensive training programme and in depth challenge information plus a fantastic support team will accompany you throughout your Costa Rican adventure.
The tour includes all accommodation, private transfers too and from San Jose, park entry fees, support team, local guides, cook and meals whilst on the trip . It does not include insurance, airport tax if applicable.
If anyone needs to leave the group at any point during the trip, all expenses incurred until re-joining the group on the itinerary described in these Trip Notes are the responsibility of the individual(s) concerned.
For a new trip set up on dates that suit you, your charity or corporate organisation, we require just 10 people.
This challenge is available between January – May & September – December.
Please get in touch with us via the contacts page or send us an email at info@adventurousewe.co.uk if you would like more information on the Costa Rica Coast to Coast Eco Challenge.
Arrival our local crew will meet us at the Airport in San Jose. Overnight: Hotel in San José.
Naranjillo to Santa Maria- Trekking (11km)/Mountain Biking (14km).
Pacuare River – Mountain Biking (43km)/Whitewater Rafting (10km).
Day 10 – Pacuare River – Whitewater Rafting (3-5 hours, 17km).
On the trek the emphasis is on a varied and well-balanced diet with a greater amount of fresh fruit and soup to maximise the daily intake of fluids to help with acclimatisation.
Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Please note that in Costa Rica the availability of certain specialised products for restricted diets, e.g. gluten-free or dairy-free, is minimal or non-existent and we strongly recommend you bring these specialised dietary items from home.
Energy snacks are provided for the daily walk such as biscuits, bananas, and chocolate bars. Bringing your own snacks can often be a treat especially when trekking or cycling. Be sure to bring some of your favourite treats.
Lunch – either a packed lunch on longer days or, more usually, a hot lunch served in specifically set up lunch camp.
Afternoon tea – served in late afternoon. It is an opportunity to drink lots of hot or cold drinks and snack on peanuts or popcorn.
Dinner – the main meal of the day usually consists of three courses; starter: soup and bread / main: rice, potatoes or pasta with fish, meat or vegetables / dessert: usually fruit. Eating is one of the wonderful experiences when travelling in Costa Rica. Included meals are a combination of restaurants, local food and delicious meals prepared by the tour guides.
Most nationalities do not require a tourist visa for Costa Rica, including British nationals. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy for the most up to date information regarding visas. It is your responsibility to have the correct personal documents and obtain your own visa, if one is necessary. Adventurous Ewe is not responsible for the actions of local immigration and customs officials, whether at points of entry or otherwise.
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our overseas expeditions. It is a condition of joining this expedition that you must be fully insured against medical and personal accident risks (to include repatriation costs and air ambulance or helicopter rescue services where appropriate). We strongly recommend that the policy also covers trekking, cycling and white water rafting, personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.
At a minimum of 4 weeks prior to departure you must send through your travel insurance details to Adventurous Ewe. You will also be asked to present evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number to your guide on arrival in Costa Rica.
Adventurous Ewe prioritises the safety of all of their trekkers and staff, and as such have developed a thorough safety management system. This encompasses comprehensive risk assessments and procedures together with audits of all aspects of your expedition from vehicles to accommodation to the high altitude trek activities. Your health and safety is our top priority.
Costa Rica is one of the safest Central American countries for travellers and serious crimes are rare. But as with all places where tourists and crowds gather petty theft can be a problem. In the same way that health risks can be avoided with a few sensible precautions, so can security risks.
Mountain bikes with front suspension (TREK 4500 or similar). You will need to supply your own bike helmet. Rafts are 7-person, self-bailing (6 pax + 1 guide) with certified lifejackets, helmets and paddles. Sea kayaks are plastic sit on top 2-person sea kayaks.
All luggage, food, water and camping equipment is carried by vehicles you will be expected to carry a day sack for items needed during the day: sunscreen, camera, waterproofs etc. Walking and mountain biking is on terrain ranging from good open track to narrow and overgrown jungle paths and is very steep both up and downhill at times. We are travelling through remote mountains where we could be exposed to a variety of weather conditions at any time. It is essential that your luggage is carried in either a soft sailing bag or soft rucksack. Bags must be waterproof, or their contents waterproofed in plastic bags (your sleeping bag and mat must fit into this bag).
To complete this trip comfortably, it is preferable that you have previous cycling experience and your comfortable cycling 60km a day on consecutive days. The walking or cycling is not dangerous or technically difficult, though you must be a confident with a good level of fitness in order to manage sections of the trip. During the trip you will be required to carry your own kit including snacks, drinking water, wet weather gear and personal items such medication and toiletries. The walking and cycling hours stated are given as approximates only. Timings include lunch and photo stops though will vary depending on the pace of your group and weather conditions.
We wake up between 06.00 – 06.30 and start the day with breakfast. After filling our water bottles, we start cycling or trekking as a group, your trek leader will set a slow pace, with the supporting staff and U.K. Leader amongst the group to offer support to the team. There will be regular short breaks to rest and refuel on snacks and water and a longer stop for lunch.
On arrival into our overnight stay, there will be time relax enjoy a hot or cold drink, before sitting down together for our evening meal and a briefing by your leader on the following day.
All main meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared, cooked and served by our supporting team when camping or in local restaurants and hotels.

Filling in the blanks: Liberzon to study observers for reconstructing variables in nonlinear systems
The National Research Foundation of Korea (NRFK) recently awarded ECE Associate Professor Daniel M Liberzon, a researcher at the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL), and Hyungbo Shim from Seoul National University a three-year, approximately $300,000 grant to research and develop robust nonlinear observers.
Shim is the principal investigator (PI) and Liberzon is the co-PI of the project titled "A New Approach to Design of Nonlinear Observers Robust to Measurement Disturbances, with Applications to Quantized Feedback Control."
Nonlinear observers can reconstruct missing or hidden variables in a nonlinear system. In complicated processes, such as flying a plane, you can measure different quantities of that process, such as speed and velocity. However, sometimes variables can be missing -- that's where an observer comes in. "This is a classic theory of control," said Liberzon, a member of CSL's decision and control group.
Through their research, Liberzon and Shim aim to make nonlinear observers robust to measurement disturbances. Sometimes an observer has to reconstruct something based off of incorrect or imprecise measurements, Liberzon said. For example, in an eight megapixel camera, the picture may not be perfectly clear, and therefore all of the information may not be completely precise. A robust observer would be able to accurately reconstruct hidden variables even if it was given incorrect measurements.
Shim will focus on the robustness of the observer, while Liberzon will focus on the quantized control. A quantizer device is something that converts information from analog to digital, such as a camera. This process is where errors can occur, and that is why it must be controlled.
The grant officially began on October 1; however, Liberzon said that the collaboration with Shim has been ongoing for a while. Shim was a visiting professor at the University of Illinois in 2010, and spent a year at the University working with CSL's decision and control faculty.
When Liberzon decided he wanted to do this project, "I needed to go to an expert," he said. So he went to Shim. After agreeing to do the project, Shim, then back in Korea, decided it would be best to apply for a grant through the National Research Foundation of Korea, or NRFK. "He led the proposal submission and writing effort," Liberzon said.
NRFK has a global research network, Liberzon said, that supports researchers in Korea working with researchers abroad. While this project addresses the development of a robust nonlinear observer, the international collaboration also advances NRFK's goal of bringing Korean and American researchers together.

I could talk about the immense reverence the ancient Hebrew scribes had for their Bible(the Old Testament).
I could speak about their stringent standards for the parchment(animal skins) and the ink used on the manuscripts, even the personal hygiene of the copyists.
I could go on and on about their meticulous methods of copying the text, how every word, one by one, had to be spoken or sung out loud, how every word had to be checked against the original before you could move on to the next word, how every letter had to be clearly identifiable and could not touch another letter to aid those that would copy their copy in the future.
I could tell you about the ridiculous, no, fanatical methods of checking the copied texts, how every letter of every word on every line of every column on every page was counted and compared to the original. How each and every parchment page had to be checked separately by three different rabbis and if one error was found the page had to be redone. How even after the pages were sewn into a scroll they had to be checked again, and if one or two pages contained errors those pages could be redone but if three pages contained errors–the entire scroll was deemed unfit for use.
I could say how the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered between 1947 and 1956 but dated between the third century BC and the first century AD clearly prove that the Bible's message has not been changed over the millennia.
I could tell of the insane amount(over 24,000) of New Testament manuscripts that are in existence today, ranging from fragments to entire manuscripts, some of them dating to the 2nd century AD.
Would any of that help you believe the Bible were true though? If you believed my sources were 100% accurate, would that authenticate the Bible for you? Even if you conceded that the Bible was largely the same as it was two thousand years ago, it still would not tell you if it was God's word that these scribes had meticulously copied for us.
So how is it that Christians believe the Bible is God's word?
It's simple; we read it. The words of the Bible themselves prove their authenticity, just like you would expect if God himself were writing them. They speak to our lives as if they were written today, specifically for each one of us, as if the words are alive. The more we read it, the more proof we have. Every word we read drives away doubt.
It is very much like how we see proof of God's existence everywhere we look. We see proof of God's pen on every page, in every word.
The skeptics miss the most obvious argument for the Bible's authenticity. If God wrote it, he can keep it pure. That is the greatest argument for the Bible's message not being changed over thousands of years, but it is not something the skeptics can understand. The Bible cannot be God's word if there is no God.
Many of these skeptics are extremely smart people and their logic is often sound but they are not working with all the facts. In fact they are lacking the most relevant fact in the universe. They are limited, hamstrung. It's like trying to come up with the sum of two numbers when you only have one.
One cannot believe the Bible is God's word without first believing there is a Creator God. If you believe that much though, a gigantic universe of new possibilities opens up to logic. What possible limitations could there be to a God who could create a universe like ours? If a God can create all we see, including all life, would it be hard for that God to lead the hearts of thirty-nine men to write down his word for us to study and learn from, and pass down from generation to generation? Obviously not! All things would be possible for a God that powerful.
This isn't rocket science either. If the Bible is true, that means there is a God who created everything. If that God exists, then it is undeniably possible that he wrote the Bible through all those men. It all hinges on whether there is a God or not. If you still wonder about that, I would direct you to my last two posts.
Stay tuned. Keep pushin' on. A.J.

Taking action as Ontario gets set to launch provincial housing consultation
The Housing Network of Ontario is continuing to prepare for the Ontario's government's consultations for a comprehensive new provincial housing plan. The government is expected to announce details of the provincial consultation in the next few days. The Wellesley Institute is a founding member of the Housing Network of Ontario and we have launched a new web site to help people and groups across the province learn about the key issues and get engaged in the consultation. The Toronto Star's Laurie Monsebraaten has set out some of the key issues in a recent article .

It's official: Disney has cut Shang from the live-action Mulan, and how are we supposed to defeat the Huns?
Meaghan Kirby
Updated Apr 17, 2018 @ 2:40 pm
What is this movie I see, staring straight back at me…because it is not the live-action adaptation of the legendary 1998 animated masterpiece, Mulan.
In recent months, Disney's live-action Mulan has started to take shape and it is diverging from the animated film in major ways. For starters, Disney executives have been *very* cagey regarding the film not being a musical — and while it's one thing to cut the very catchy 98 Degrees-Stevie Wonder duet, it is downright disgraceful to give "I'll Make a Man Out of You" the axe. Which brings us to the most devastating issue of all: the disrespect of Li Shang.
A terrible rumor has been circulating that beloved warrior Li Shang would be getting cut from the live-action film, and in a move that's truly a dishonor to us all, it appears this rumor is 100 percent true. While Donnie Yen's casting as Mulan's mentor Commander Tung certainly cast doubt on Shang's inclusion in the film because, let's face it, you don't have an entire musical number dedicated to training the unit and not walk away as their mentor, this new casting call confirms that live-action Mulan is (*sobs*) getting a new love interest.
Twitter account nerdyasians recently uncovered and tweeted a casting description for Chen Honghui, Mulan's new love interest and, um, are you sure this, Disney?
According to the casting call, Honghui is a cocky fellow soldier in Commander Tung's unit who sees Mulan — in her male disguise, of course — as his chief rival in being the best warrior in the world. The casting call actually includes this description for him, "Full of himself, with a mean, bullying streak to him." And not only is he the dictionary definition of the worst, he only stops hating on Mulan and falls in love with her when he finds out she's a woman.
Wooooooow. You do not disrespect Shang like that, dropping the character who trained, came to respect, and maybe (ahem, probably definitely) fell in love with Mulan when she was still "Ping," for that guy.
Honghui's casting description literally reads like the terrible love interest who shouldn't end up with lead at the end of the movie because she can do so much better. Imagine if Frozen 2 was like "Okay, we know Kristoff is the perfect match for Anna but we've decided that Han should actually be her main love interest, again."
Multiply that by 1,000 and that's just a fraction of what an injustice this is. The only positive thing about Honghui's casting description is that Mulan is clearly serving up some serious skill in the live-action film.
Disney, you have two years to fix this and we suggest you get on it ASAP before Mulan hits theaters in March 2020.

The immensely gifted Sean Patrick Monahan is Desmond Channing, a demented teenager with delusions of grandeur, in his new musical, Diva: Live from Hell, a dark comedic sendup of madness directed with smart intensity by Daniel Goldstein at Theater for the New City's Community Space through April 9th. Monahan also wrote the book and plays all the characters in Diva with more than serviceable music and lyrics by Alexander Sage Oyen. One ballad concerning unrequited love is excellent. Musical accompaniment is a nifty trio of Sammy Wags (drums), Rob Taylor (double bass), and Evan Tylor (piano and sound mixer).
The clever musical takes place at a cabaret in Hell called the Seventh Circle, where Desmond is forced to relive his twisted tale night after night as punishment for his sins. Desmond Channing's story chronicles the rapid descent into madness of a teenager who has spent his short life in the limelight.
Set at a public high school in an unnamed town in Florida, where the power-hungry Desmond has recently been elected President of the Drama Club after previously starring in all the school's musical productions, the story follows the teenager's mental deterioration, which is triggered by the arrival of Evan Harris, a likeable transfer student from New York City, who just happens to be a talented up and coming professional, everything Desmond longs to become. When the threatened teenager retaliates with unrelenting attempts to sabotage the new comer by any means possible, Desmond's hysterical reactions to Evan crescendo into an ultimate act of violence in his surrealistic fall from grace.
Monahan moves seamlessly from one character to the next physically and emotionally embodying each one with consummate flair. His voice is terrific, and when he launches into song his brave performance and Diva comes fully alive. Unfortunately, although initially witty, Desmond, who comes across as a crazed drag queen, is such a shallow lout that you quickly lose all compassion for him. Despite all the talent involved his story ceases to amuse and you couldn't care less. Sort of like Donald Trump, another man/child, Diva from Hell. Shrewd yes, but enough already!
Produced by Jenna Grossano, Diva: Live From Hell features choreography by Jennifer Jancuska, Set Design by Daniel Geggatt & Caitlyn Murphy, Costume Design by Tilly Grimes, Sound Design by Tyler Kieffer and Lighting Design by Paige Seber, and musical direction by Luke McGinnis.
Remaining performances of Diva: Live from Hell are on Friday, March 31 at 8pm; Saturday April 1 at 8pm; Sunday April 2 at 8pm; Wednesday, April 5 at 8pm; Thursday April 6 at 8pm; Friday April 7 at 8pm; Saturday April 8 at 8pm; Sunday April 9 at 3pm. Tickets are $18 and available online at www.theaterforthenewcity.net or by phone (212) 254-1109. Theater for the New City is located at 155 1st Avenue (btw 9th and 10th streets) in Manhattan.

Daniel Brian Bylsma (; born September 19, 1970) is an American professional ice hockey coach and former player. He is the head coach of the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the American Hockey League (AHL). He was previously head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League (NHL), and was also an assistant coach for the Detroit Red Wings. He also was the former head coach of the United States men's national ice hockey team. Prior to coaching the Sabres, Bylsma was the head coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins, whom he led to a Stanley Cup championship in 2009, just four months after being promoted to Pittsburgh's head coaching position.

Prior to coaching the Penguins, he played as a forward in the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and coached in the American Hockey League (AHL). He was drafted in the sixth round (109th overall) of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft, by the Winnipeg Jets.

Early life
During his high school days, Bylsma was a standout in many sports, including golf, baseball, and ice hockey. Bylsma graduated from Western Michigan Christian High School where he won the Class D golf individual championship as a freshman. He also played baseball and was the starting left fielder as a freshman on Christian's 1985 State championship team. In his senior year, he was a member of the all-state all-class "Dream Team" (the best player at each position in the state – all classes), and won many regional baseball honors.

Bylsma played amateur hockey in Muskegon Junior Hockey, Norton Shores Recreational Leagues, and Grand Rapids GRAHA before playing Junior "B" hockey in Canada for the St. Marys Lincolns and the Oakville Blades of the Ontario Hockey Association. Bylsma went on to play college hockey at Bowling Green State University from 1988–1992 and was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets in his freshman year. He was twice selected to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association All Academic Team and once earned Honorable Mention. He was a Bowling Green Scholar Athlete all four years and won the Jack Gregory Award for the highest grade point average on the team in his Sophomore season and the Howard Brown Coaches' Award for excellence in his senior year. Bylsma is one of the few players in the CCHA to have scored a shorthanded goal while his team was two men short.

Professional playing career
Despite being drafted by the Winnipeg Jets, Bylsma never played a game for them, and was signed by the Los Angeles Kings in the summer of 1994. During the 1994–95 labor stoppage, Bylsma earned the nickname "Disco Dan". The nickname was adopted by teammates while playing for a minor league team in Phoenix. Veteran goaltender Byron Dafoe already went by Bylsma's former moniker of "Bysie" so the name "Disco Dan" was given due to Bylsma's penchant for dancing in the locker room.

He played parts of five seasons for the Kings, acting as a defensive forward. In his first season, when he played only four games for the Kings, he was captain of their International Hockey League (IHL) affiliate, the Phoenix Roadrunners. He also played for the Long Beach Ice Dogs, who were the Kings' IHL affiliate after the Roadrunners folded in 1997. Bylsma played 95 American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, the Lowell Lock Monsters, the Springfield Falcons, the Albany River Rats, the Moncton Hawks and the Rochester Americans, and reached the Calder Cup Finals in 1994.

Signed as a free agent by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the summer of 2000, Bylsma was a steadying influence on a rebuilding Anaheim team, and was made an alternate captain.  In his second season, he set a career high in points (17).

Bylsma struggled his entire career to stay in the NHL, mostly due to a lack of natural offensive ability (his primary role in the NHL had always been penalty killing). Injuries took a toll in later years, and before being put on waivers in January 2004, Bylsma missed 31 games due to knee surgery. He retired from playing following the 2003–04 season.

Coaching career
Bylsma served as an assistant coach with the AHL's Cincinnati Mighty Ducks (2004–05) and the NHL's New York Islanders (2005–06). During the 2008–09 season, Bylsma coached the Penguins' AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

On February 15, 2009, with the Pittsburgh Penguins struggling to make the playoffs, the Penguins organization announced that it had relieved head coach Michel Therrien of his duties and had promoted Bylsma to serve as interim head coach of the team. At 38, he was the youngest head coach in the NHL at the time. Through his first 25 games as Penguins' coach, his 18–3–4 record amounted to 40 points—the second most of any coach in NHL history through their first 25 games. On April 28, Penguins General Manager Ray Shero announced that Bylsma had been named permanent head coach of the team. On June 12, 2009, Bylsma led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup championship, becoming the 14th coach and the second mid-season replacement to win the Stanley Cup in their first season.  While the win made him just the fifth ever American-born coach to win the cup, he also became the third American in the last five seasons to do so. Bylsma was awarded the Jack Adams Award as the league's most outstanding coach for the 2010–2011 season due to the Penguins still being a contender for the Stanley Cup without his two star players Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

On April 22, 2013, Bylsma became the fastest NHL coach ever to reach 200 wins with a 3-1 win over the Ottawa Senators. On June 30 of the same year, Bylsma was appointed head coach of the United States Olympic Hockey Team for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On January 7, 2014, a month before coaching at the Winter Olympics, Bylsma became the winningest coach in Penguins history (233 wins) with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks. On April 4, 2014, Bylsma became the fastest NHL coach to reach 250 wins, leading his team to a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. He accomplished the feat in 395 games. On June 6, 2014, Bylsma was fired by the Pittsburgh Penguins, shortly after Jim Rutherford was announced as the team's new general manager.

Bylsma remained on the Penguins' payroll, with no job in the organization, through the 2014–15 season. Following that season, the Penguins granted him permission to seek employment elsewhere. On May 28, 2015, Bylsma was named head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, signing a five-year contract. Bylsma was the Sabres second choice for coach after Mike Babcock, who they heavily pursued before Babcock signed with the divisional rival Toronto Maple Leafs.

On April 20, 2017, Bylsma was fired by the Sabres after two seasons. The transaction came after rumors leaked that Bylsma was at odds with many of the Sabres players, including star Jack Eichel, who allegedly stated he would not sign a contract extension with the team had Bylsma remained head coach. On June 22, 2018, Bylsma was hired as an assistant coach for the Detroit Red Wings.  On May 18, 2021, it was announced that he would not be returning to the Detroit Red Wings.

On August 10, 2021, Bylsma returned to the AHL, after he was hired by the Seattle Kraken to become an assistant coach with the Charlotte Checkers. On June 21, 2022, Bylsma was named as head coach of the Kraken's new AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds.

RBI/2016-17/88
A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 6
All Category - I Authorised Dealer Banks
Madam/Sir,
Attention of Authorised Dealer Category - I (AD Category-I) banks is invited to the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, 2000, notified by the Reserve Bank vide Notification No. FEMA. 20/2000-RB dated 3rd May 2000 (FEMA 20), as amended from time to time.

3. While Authorised Dealers and their constituents are advised to refer to the said amendments regarding the changes made, some of the salient features are as under:
In all sectors where there is a limit/cap on foreign investment, such limit/cap shall be reckoned in a composite manner. In other words, "sectoral cap", i.e., the maximum amount which can be invested by foreign investors in an entity will include all types of foreign investments, direct and indirect, regardless of whether the said investments have been made under Schedules 1, 2, 2(A), 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of FEMA (Transfer or Issue of Security by Persons Resident Outside India) Regulations, 2000. Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) and Depository Receipts (DRs) having underlying of instruments which can be issued under Schedule 5, being in the nature of debt, shall not be treated as foreign investment under such composite limit/cap. However, any equity holding by a person resident outside India resulting from conversion of any debt instrument under any arrangement shall be reckoned as foreign investment under the composite limit/cap.
"Total foreign investment" in an Indian company will be the sum total of direct and indirect foreign investments.
Portfolio investment up to aggregate foreign investment level of 49% or sectoral/statutory cap, whichever is lower, will not be subject to either Government approval or compliance with the sectoral conditions, as the case may be, provided such investment does not result in change in ownership leading to control of Indian entities [within the meaning of Regulation 14 (1) of Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or issue of security by a person resident outside India) Regulations, 2000] by non-resident entities. Other foreign investments will be subject to conditions of Government approval and compliance of sectoral conditions as laid down in the FDI policy and the related Regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999.
The onus of compliance with the sectoral/statutory caps on foreign investment and attendant conditions, if any, shall be on the company receiving foreign investment.
A company shall be considered as owned by resident Indian citizens if more than 50% of the capital in it is beneficially owned by resident Indian citizens and/or Indian companies, which are ultimately owned and controlled by resident Indian citizens. A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) will be considered as owned by resident Indian citizens if more than 50% of the investment in such an LLP is contributed by resident Indian citizens and/ or entities which are ultimately 'owned and controlled by resident Indian citizens' and such resident Indian citizens and entities have majority of the profit share.
'Control' shall include the right to appoint a majority of the directors or to control the management or policy decisions including by virtue of their shareholding or management rights or shareholders agreement or voting agreement. For the purpose of LLP, 'control' shall mean right to appoint majority of the designated partners, where such designated partners, with specific exclusions to others, have control over all the policies of the LLP.
Foreign investment in LLP is permitted under the automatic route if the LLP is engaged in sector where 100% FDI is allowed and there are no attendant FDI linked performance conditionalities to the sector.
Foreign investment by way of swap of shares has been permitted provided the resident company in which the investment is made is engaged in an automatic route sector subject to the condition that irrespective of the amount, valuation of the shares involved in the swap arrangement will have to be made by a Merchant Banker registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) or an Investment Banker outside India registered with the appropriate regulatory authority in the host country.
In terms of the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) (Amendment) Regulations, 2016 notified vide Notification No. FEMA 361/2016-RB dated February 15, 2016, a Non-resident Indian (NRI) has been permitted to purchase or sell shares, convertible preference shares, convertible debentures and warrants of an Indian company or units of an investment vehicle, on repatriation basis (under Schedule 3 to FEMA 20) and non-repatriation basis (under schedule 4 to FEMA 20) . Investment by an NRI, including a company, a trust and a partnership firm incorporated outside India and owned and controlled by NRI, on non-repatriation basis under Schedule 4 of notification ibid, will be deemed to be domestic investment at par with the investment made by residents.
Foreign investment up to 100 percent under the automatic route has been permitted in the plantation sector which includes tea plantations, coffee plantations, rubber plantations, cardamom plantations, palm oil tree plantations and olive oil tree plantations. There have been changes in the foreign investment cap in other sectors. The updated Annex-B to schedule-1 has been notified vide Notification No. FEMA 362/2016-RB dated February 15, 2016.
"Real estate business" shall mean dealing in land and immovable property with a view to earning profit therefrom and does not include development of townships, construction of residential / commercial premises, roads or bridges, educational institutions, recreational facilities, city and regional level infrastructure, townships. Further, earning of rent income on lease of the property, not amounting to transfer, will not amount to "real estate business".
Manufacturing has been given a precise definition and foreign investment up to 100% under the automatic route is permitted in manufacturing subject to the conditions of the FDI policy and the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, 2000. A manufacturer is permitted to sell its products manufactured in India through wholesale and/or retail, including through e-commerce without Government approval.
An entity engaged in single brand retail trading operating through brick and mortar stores, is permitted to undertake retail trading through e-commerce.
4. To effect these changes the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, 2000 have been amended through the Foreign Exchange (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) (Tenth Amendment) Regulations, 2015 notified vide Notification No. FEMA.354/2015-RB dated October 30, 2015, (c.f.

The Senior Citizens League was looking for a new partner to help identify areas of improvement in their online program and to integrate it with their large scale direct mail program. Several areas were identified: a new website, an online donation system with broader functionality, an update to their email program, and integration between online and offline fundraising.
The Engage Group worked with The Senior Citizens League to identify the requirements for a new website – from content, to functionality, to design. The old site was migrated to Engage-managed servers, and a new site was built using WordPress.
The new site was launched in November 2011 resulting in significant growth in web traffic and web site conversions (surveys, petitions, email sign-ups, and donations). At the same time, Engage managed an implementation in Salsa, using the platform's email system, in addition to the functionality for building donation, petition, and sign-up pages. Engage managed the data migration from the old system to the new, minimizing the loss of supporter records or historical email and petition activity. A comprehensive email program was started in August 2011 to include regularly schedule e-newsletters, e-alerts, and e-appeals. The online fundraising campaigns are coordinated in schedule, design, and content with the organization's direct mail program. This integration is facilitated in-house by The Engage Group's parent company, PMG, where TSCL's direct mail production is managed. Engage's online services allow TSCL staff to focus on the organization's mission and service to their 1.2 million members. The Engage Group provides continued support of the website, online donations, the email program, and data processing. In 2012, Engage will help TSCL continue their 2011 success with a new email acquisition strategy.


This outstanding thesis characterises the aerodynamic flow around a container freight train; investigating how changing container loading configurations affect the magnitude of aerodynamic forces measured on a container. 1/25th scale moving-model freight train experiments were carried out at the University of Birmingham's TRAIN rig facility to investigate slipstream velocities and static pressure, as well as measuring, using a specifically designed on-board pressure monitoring system, the aerodynamic loads on containers. Results were compared with full scale data and assessed in terms European standards for trackside worker and passenger safety limits. Rail vehicle aerodynamic studies have tended to previously focus on high speed passenger trains in line with increases in train speed. The research presented within this thesis highlights the issues associated with the aerodynamic development around a freight train, providing the foundations for further research and a basis from which to develop international safety standards in relation to freight, as well as high speed trains.

On Wednesday, Sept. 11, Oswego Village President Troy Parlier, the Oswego Village Board, and Imperial Investments Director of Development Mike Mann shoveled the first dirt at 113 Main Street, the site of the former Village Hall, for a $3.1 million three-story mixed-use building that will bring restaurant space featuring garage door-style al fresco dining and upper level office space to downtown Oswego.
"This is an exciting, exciting day. Mike has and extraordinary vision being from Oswego and an extraordinary pulse on the buildings that are going to really turn this downtown into a much greater downtown but keep the feel that we all want," said Village President Troy Parlier. "This isn't a one-shot deal. We've found a partner that we can really work with. This Block 11 is really going to come alive over the next few months."
The groundbreaking ceremony, held Wednesday afternoon, also marks the start of public improvements to the rest of Block 11, the downtown Oswego block bounded by Washington, Main, Van Buren and Adams Streets. When finished, Block 11 will also include a Mexican restaurant along Washington Street, plus additional public parking, underground water, sewer and electrical infrastructure to support further development, and a complete reimagining of the streetscape featuring a pedestrian thoroughfare.
"We're really excited to be in Oswego now," said Mann, himself a 20-year resident of Oswego. "I want to see stuff happen here like it's happened in other communities."
Mann also hinted at what will be coming to first-floor restaurant space – an independent restaurant with locally sourced meat and produce.
Yorkville-based Imperial Investments is the team behind the development that houses the popular Crusade Burger Bar and other businesses in downtown Yorkville. As a part of the deal between the Village and Imperial, Imperial Investments is responsible for all the costs of private improvements, while the Village will invest in the public improvements, including the publicly owned alleyway, parking and underground infrastructure, to support the development of the entire block. Work on both the new building and the public improvements will begin immediately.
Street and sidewalk closures begin immediately
To facilitate construction, a portion of sidewalk on Main Street and the alley that bisects Block 11 have been closed, and pedestrian detour signs have been posted.
Adams Street, from Washington Street to Van Buren, will be closed on or around Monday, Sept. 23, so that crews can begin construction on underground infrastructure and the complete reconstruction of the street, which, when finished, will also include three new on-street parking spaces.

Charles died June 14, 2014, at home, age 79. As always, he was brave; as always, he was loving. He stayed with us as long as he could.
As an artist, Charlie was devoted to art as revelation. Every blade of grass and every ray of light received its due from his brush. As a friend, he was compassionate; he asked no questions and made no judgements.
His family and I are grateful to everyone who loved him in his life. To those of you who loved art, we thank you.

va ser un director i compositor neerlandès.

Biografia
Martin Spanjaard va veure la llum per primera vegada a Borne. El seu pare era el fabricant tèxtil jueu Salomon Jacob Spanjaard, la seva mare Julia Dorothea Calisch. La família es va traslladar a l'Haia el 1899, on va rebre les seves primeres lliçons de violí de Joseph Salmon. Més tard hi va estudiar violí amb André Spoor, harmonia amb Frits Koeberg i piano amb Willem Andriessen. Als 17 anys ja va aparèixer com a director i compositor d'una serenata per a orquestra. El 1915 va anar a Berlín, va estudiar composició amb Friedrich Gernsheim a la "Hochschule für Musik" i va treballar com a violista a l'orquestra del Conservatori de Willy Hess. A Amsterdam va prendre més classes de composició de Cornelis Dopper i es va convertir en ajudant de Willem Mengelberg. Després de formar-se com a director a l'Òpera Estatal de Berlín, va començar com a primer violinista i segon director a lOrquestra Filharmònica d'Arnhem el gener de 1920 i va ser nomenat director principal el juny del mateix any.

Ja el 1921 va fer gires de concerts com a director d'orquestra a Hamburg, Berlín i Munic i va entrar per Jan van Gilse al podi de lUtrecht Stedelijk Orkest. El 1924 va dirigir per primera vegada lOrquestra d'Amsterdam Concertgebouw. A partir de mitjans de la dècada de 1920, Spanjaard es va convertir en un director d'orquestra demanat a tota Europa, com confirmen nombroses crítiques a "Het Vaderland Den Haag, Neue Freie Presse Wien" i "De Telegraaf Amsterdam". El 1926 va debutar a París i al "Wiener Konzerthaus" al podi de lOrquestra Simfònica de Viena amb el solista Eugène Bozza. El 1927 es van produir altres debuts a Budapest amb Bronisław Huberman, a Praga i Bakú, combinats amb altres aparicions a la Unió Soviètica. El 1929 i el 1930 va dirigir diverses vegades la Berliner Philharmoniker, com a solista, entre d'altres amb Maurice Rosenthal. Del 1929 al 1931 va dirigir concerts al "Wiener Musikverein" amb solistes com Carl Flesch i Ludwig Wüllner, el 1930 va dirigir allà l'estrena austríaca del seu Capriccio amb Ígor Stravinski al piano el 1930.

El 1932 Spanjaard va renunciar al seu lloc com a director de lOrquestra Filharmònica d'Arnhem i es va afirmar per què no oferia prou música popular. Després que Adolf Hitler arribés al poder el 1933, la seva carrera a l'estranger es va aturar; depenia de rars conductors convidats als Països Baixos, com el Residentie Orkest Den Haag. Va dirigir de nou lOrquestra Concertgebouw el juny de 1939 amb obres de Mozart, Henriëtte Bosmans i la Simfonia núm. 1 d'Anton Bruckner. Després d'això, només han sobreviscut dos conductors més el 1939 i 1940 amb la Residentie Orkest. Després de l'ocupació dels Països Baixos per part de les tropes nazis, se li va prohibir treballar i va intentar sobreviure seguint cursos de música.

La nit del 2 d'agost de 1942, Martin Spanjaard i la seva segona esposa Elly Okladek van ser arrestats a l'Haia pels ocupants nazis alemanys, i portats al camp de trànsit de Westerbork i deportats a Auschwitz el 7 de setembre. Van ser assassinats allà el 30 de setembre de 1942.

Creacions
A més d'una serenata primerenca (1909), el 1915 es va escriure una doble fuga per a orquestra de corda, una obertura i un poema per a gran orquestra sota el títol Symphonisch Gedicht naar het sprookje uit de Duizend en ééne Nacht. Durant els seus anys a Berlín, Spanjaard va compondre tres cançons basades en poemes de Li Bai i un scherzo per a orquestra. En el següent temps, la direcció va sortir a la palestra. Als anys vint va publicar un Caprici per a piano, Claartjes wiegeliedje i la cançó Ausgrün Fluten. Estilísticament, es va comprometre amb el romanticisme alemany i el romanticisme tardà, que va complementar amb influències de l'impressionisme francès. També va escriure un llibre sobre les simfonies d'Anton Bruckner (1934).

Familiars
El nebot de Martin Spanjaard, Ed Spanjaard (* 1948), antic ajudant d'Herbert von Karajan i Georg Solti, també es va convertir en director d'orquestra. Maarten van der Heijden (* 1947), net de Martin Spanjaard, va treballar de vegades com a contrabaixista, entre d'altres. a l'orquestra del  de Frans Brüggen. Laura van der Heijden, besneta, es va convertir en violoncel·lista i va guanyar el Premi Edison de música clàssica el 2018.

Elliott called out for being a 'homer' announcer
Jose Grijalva
Home team play by play and color commentators are usually the worst to listen to unless they get their paychecks from your team. The majority of announcers have a home team bias that even the truth won't change their mind on an obvious call. For San Antonio Spurs fans, Sean Elliott isn't immune to this. Alongside Bill Land, these two men are very popular among Spurs fans who listen in to the games on Fox Sports Southwest.
Last week, Elliott was mentioned by NBA.com writer John Schuhmann's article "Air Check" last week which was dedicated to announcers from various teams for some funny, weird, and head shaking moments. Elliott's play-by-play during the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder made it to the list in the latter category. He criticizes Elliott for "not changing his stripes" during the game that aired on NBA TV.
I guess that means that Diaw is allowed to hold down Serge Ibaka's arm as the rebound comes their way.
After the second call, Elliott says "Ibaka looked like he had that rebound anyways." Well no, he didn't once he got fouled.
Then, "Ibaka gets rewarded for not boxing out." Actually, Diaw gets punished for pushing Ibaka in the back.
Bottom line, a foul is a foul, even if it happens 94 feet from the basket.
"Two wrongs just make it wrong," Elliott says.
That's exactly what those who were listening to him were thinking.
Elliott is one of the few announcers who not only knows the game, but he also makes it enjoyable with his jokes during the game. It shouldn't be he's a homer for the team who writes his paychecks and won an NBA championship with in 1999. If you watch any other teams, you'll get the same result with probably less homerism than Elliott but not by far. It's something that's expected when you tune into a local broadcast.
What do you think Spurs fans? Did Elliott go too far in his homerism or is it something that's normal during a home team broadcast?

Fact-checker software uncovers costly errors in biomed research
By Matt Johnston on Mar 6, 2019 11:44AM
A quarter of papers examined contained errors.
Unreproducible results in research papers is a growing problem affecting academia and the publishing industry, but a cancer researcher at the University of Sydney is hoping to change that with a new, semi-automated fact checker.
Whether it's an honest mistake in transcribing results, or something more sinister like research fraud, errors in research papers can not only be a waste of time but also a huge cost to labs and institutions.
The 'Seek & Blastn' program, co-developed by professor Jennifer Byrne from the University of Sydney and Dr Cyril Labbé from the University of Grenoble Alpes, aims to tackle the problem in the field of biomedicine by identifying DNA and RNA constructs used to target genes and comparing them with a database of known genes.
Byrne likened the use of the DNA and RNA constructs, known as nucleotide sequence reagents, to ingredients in a recipe.
"Doing an experiment with wrong reagents either means that you cook something different from what you thought you were cooking, or what you cook is a failure," Byrne said.
But the stakes are a bit higher when the cake you're baking costs thousands of dollars and supports an international effort to fight cancer.
"Unfortunately with experiments, failures are not always as obvious as they are in the kitchen. And here we are dealing with fundamental genetic research, and other researchers are using these failures as building blocks for their own work."
A cohort of 155 research papers analysed with the new fact-checker, combined with manual verification, identified 25 percent of papers as having sequence errors.
While the sample was of a group already under suspicion for containing errors and doesn't represent a baseline for all research in the field, the number is still worryingly high.
"That's quite a lot of wrong sequences in a small group of papers and there will be many more out there, unfortunately, given that nucleotide sequence reagents have been described in literally hundreds of thousands of biomedical publications," Byrne said.
Seek & Blastn was able to identify both 'identity errors' (sequences which were completely incorrect) and also typographic errors (spelling mistakes that, while probably accidental, are still problematic).
Examples of errors found by Seek & Blastn include:
Sequence reagents that are supposed to target a human gene instead didn't actually target anything, meaning experiments might not work and researchers wouldn't know
Reagents that weren't supposed to target anything as a control in experiments were found to instead target human genes, meaning researchers couldn't accurately compare data
Sequence reagents that targeted the wrong gene, resulting in data that had nothing to do with the system being studied
Byrne and Labbé suggest that sequence identity errors in these examples are a particular hallmark of research fraud, and the semi-automated fact-checker could be deployed to help weed it out.
"Our hope is that tools like Seek & Blastn will prospectively deter publications that describe incorrect nucleotide sequence reagents and may flag existing publications so that their conclusions can be re-evaluated."
A 2016 report in the journal Nature estimates that more than 70 percent of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own.

Home Match Previews Limerick vs St. Patrick's Predictions and Match Preview
Limerick vs St. Patrick's Predictions and Match Preview
Limerick vs St. Patrick's Athletic
Republic of Ireland – Premier Division
Date: Friday, 19 October 2018
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Markets Field (Limerick).
Tommy Barrett is fed up with his team. They are currently placed 9th in the league. The Super Blues were 7th when last season ended.
After 34 games this season they are in the relegation spot with a chance to play play-offs against a team from the first division. Winning only 7 and losing 21 games they may suffer in that play-off.
The team lost to Cork City in their last match away. Things were easy for Cork city throughout the game. With 40% possession in the whole match Blues never looked like a threat for the home team.
Corks took the lead in the 2nd minute since kickoff and finished the half with 1-0 lead. They came back in the second half added another in the 53rd minute and late in injury time to seal their 3 points.
Barrett's team however were undisciplined, picking up 3 yellow cards for tackles.
Forwards are not performing for them. Their best goal scorer is Danny Morrissey with 5 goals in 24 caps this season.
St.Patricks finished 8th last season. The five time champions cannot achieve a top-3 finish this season. Currently the team of Ger. O'Brien are 5th in the league with 44 points in 34 games.
Saints will have to win this match if they want to stay there. O'Brien's boys will most probably take advantage of the sorry home side.
Limerick vs St. Patrick's Athletic: Head to head
St. Patrick has won 6 in 10 games they met before, lost and drew 2 games.
Last time they came across each other was in July this year and Saints won 2-1 at home.
Limerick has 7 losses in last 10 games they played in all competitions.
At home they are on a 3 game losing streak.
Pats have won 4 and lost 4 in their previous 10 games and in the last 10 away games they have only 2 wins, which came in last 5 games.
Limerick vs St. Patrick's Athletic: Prediction
Limerick does not have a chance to overcome a possible win for the away side. Barrett's team have lost their way after 2 consecutive losses in the division.
With their recent performances against Corks and Derry City, even their hardcore fans will have not much hope.
Conan Byrne of the Saints may look to improve his goal tally-7 goals-against the Blues.
Limerick vs St. Patrick's Athletic: Betting Tips
St. Patricks to win @ 4/5 (1.80)
Both teams to Score @ 8/11 (1.73).

7 Ways to Get a PhD Scholarship in the UK
For many students, a dream of doing a PhD seems to be impossible due to the cost of some programmes and lack of funding. The country with some of the highest tuition fees in Europe is arguably the United Kingdom.
As a result, there is always a lot of interest in the scholarships available to study in this country. In this article, we have attempted to provide the information about the major sources of funding available for studying a PhD in the UK.
Check out PhDs worldwide
If you would like to apply for a specific university in the UK, the best option is to start searching for scholarships on their websites. Finance and scholarship offices have information about different funding opportunities that they provide and/or the links to the external funding opportunities. A lot of universities give PhD scholarships to a limited number of students on an annual basis. The types of scholarships may vary and be aimed at both UK/EU and overseas students. Such scholarships are highly competitive, and potential candidates should demonstrate strong academic background and motivation for studying to be able to get them.
A great resource for finding scholarships in the UK is this website: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/phd. A lot of academic positions, including PhD scholarships, are advertised on this website. You may find it useful to subscribe to the updates to make sure you do not miss any relevant positions.
There is a new opportunity available from British Council that coordinates the Newton Fund that is aimed at strengthening the relations between the UK and overseas institutions. A number of PhD scholarships will be allocated through this fund. For more information check: http://www.britishcouncil.org/education/science/current-opportunities.
A lot of the students who write to us on PhD portal receive scholarships from the governments of their own countries. Make sure to check funding opportunities available in your own country!
Funding may also come through a direct contact with a potential supervisor. Quite often researchers have funding that has to be allocated for a specific PhD project, and they may be looking for candidates. That is why it is important to try to get in touch with potential supervisors when looking for PhD opportunities.
Try to join as many research newsletters, mailing lists from research societies etc. in your area. Quite often these channels are used to advertise potential PhD positions.

Deliberately ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. It's still there. You only make it worse by pretending it doesn't exist. And sooner or later, it may rear its ugly, snake-like face and make you regret not addressing it sooner.
On the surface, things look swell for the St. Louis Blues. The team is competing for President's Trophies and the roster is deeper than it's ever been, filled with the likes of David Backes, T.J. Oshie, Alex Steen, Alex Pietrangelo, Patrick Berglund, and Paul Stastny.
But there is an elephant in the room: having signed those players, the Blues have to actually pay them and still find a way to make a profit. For the Blues, this is easier said than done.
In 2006, the Blues were ranked as the 16th most valuable NHL franchise out of 30 teams, valued at $150 million. By 2012, the Blues had dropped to DEAD LAST in the league. And despite moving up to number 28 in 2013, the Blues are still worth less than the likes of the Arizona Coyotes, the Florida Panthers, the Carolina Hurricanes, and the Nashville Predators, to name a few.
The Blues are doing worse than the NHL's most godforsaken hockey wasteland (Phoenix), a place so toxic the NHL itself had to step in and run the team.
Even more alarming, the Blues have already been sold twice in the last 8 ½ years. In 2006, after losing the GDP of a small country (the Blues lost $91 million over the previous five years, by far the biggest loss in the NHL), billionaire Bill Laurie had had enough. In stepped Dave Checketts. And in 2006, the Blues actually made money for the first time in a long time, ending up a whopping $1 million in the black.
Since 2006, the Blues have lost between $2 and $10 million EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Checketts, not surprisingly, did not care for losing millions of dollars, and so he sold the team in 2012 to a new ownership group let by Tom Stillman, which graciously kept the team in St. Louis.
In 2012 (-$10 million) and 2013 (-$2.5 million), the Blues continued to lose money.
Fans already are clamoring for Stillman to increase the player payroll and go on a wild spending splurge in the summer free-agent market. That's unlikely, if not impossible. . . . If you think that Stillman is rolling in money and can engage in bidding wars for free agents with Detroit's Mike Ilitich or the Wirtz family in Chicago, think again.
This fair and reasonable prediction turned out to be completely wrong. Under Stillman's watch, the Blues have vastly increased player payroll, literally to almost the maximum allowed under the NHL's salary cap, and they signed arguably the top player in free agency (Paul Stastny) to a huge, $28 million, four year contract. Next year, there are going to be A LOT of players that need to be signed or replaced, and very little money to do it.
From the outside looking in, this looks incredibly foolish. Increasing your spending when you are already hemorrhaging money is a good way to go bankrupt.
There has to be some explanation us fans are not privy to. Perhaps the current ownership figures a deep postseason run is the only thing that can save them, financially, so they might as well go for it, balls to the wall. Or maybe they just want to run the team into the ground and sell it to Seattle. I don't know.
But it's a gamble I would prefer the team not take. Because if the Blues go up for sale again soon — the third sale in about a decade — it will almost certainly be the end of the St. Louis Blues. If insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results, you would have to be insane to keep the team in St. Louis and expect to turn a profit.
Forbes' most current NHL values should come out soon. I will be watching to see where the Blues are at. If the team is finally making money, then good job management! Keep it up! They clearly know something I don't.
But if the team is still losing money, then . . . I don't know, what can we do? Just enjoy the ride, I guess. If you're gonna go out, might as well go out swinging, preferably at the Blackhawks and Kings.
Just another reason to really savor this season, Blues fans. Go Blues.
