Colin O'Brady: It's definitely not a straight through line. Sometimes I'm taking steps to the side, sometimes I'm taking steps backwards, and eventually I'm making forward progress on a linear trend. But I'm not quitting, it's about grit and perseverance.
I had to make two attempts on Everest because my first time up I got caught up in a huge storm near the summit and had to go all the way back down. I wasn't like, oh I tried and it didn't work out so I'm not meant to climb Everest. I was like ok, well let's find another way. Is the weather going to be better in a few days? Yeah I'm tired, but maybe we I can pull it together somehow.
Jules Schroeder: What is one mindset mantra you live by?
Colin O'Brady: "He who says he can't and he who says he can are both usually right." The amount of people telling you you can't in insane. It's having that strength of mindset or belief in self to say ok that didn't work, but let me just keep taking steps forwards and thinking about it creatively. If you can change your mindset towards the positive you can unlock untapped reservoirs of potential within yourself.

Q: What are the course prerequisite requirements?
A: A minimum of 90 semester credit hours towards a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university is required (some courses may be in progress). In addition, the following prerequisite courses in the sciences and humanities must be satisfactorily completed in order for your application to be properly evaluated.
General or Inorganic Chemistry (at least 6 credits of semester course work and 2 credits of laboratory course work).
Biology (at least 12 semester credits of course work and 2 credits of laboratory course work). Courses in human physiology and anatomy, cell and molecular biology, and microbiology are highly recommended.
Physics (at least 6 semester credits of course work and 2 credits of laboratory course work).
Organic Chemistry (at least 6 semester credits of course work and 2 credits of laboratory course work).
English (two 3-credit semester courses). Any course accredited by the English Department that fulfills the general education English requirement.
Statistics (one 3-credit semester course in statistics). This prerequisite may be met with a course from a regionally accredited college or university in any academic discipline. The course content should include descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, sampling techniques, measures of relationship, regression models and other tests for significance.
A: The Summer 2019 application will open in the Fall. If you are enrolled for college credit in the Fall 2018 semester, please make sure you provide transcripts with Fall 2018 posted grades.
Q: Can I see my application status online?
A: Yes! Login to http://my.hsc.unt.edu to view your application status. If you have missing items such as transcripts, recommendation letters, MCAT scores, etc. they will be listed on this site as well.
Q: I submitted my application online but when I login to http://my.hsc.unt.edu it doesn't appear. Why?
A: When you submit your application, it goes into a holding server. We have to manually program the server to move or "push" your application into the EIS system (http://my.hsc.unt.edu). We do not perform that step until we have received an application fee.
Q: I looked online and the system still says my file is incomplete. I've requested everything to be sent to your office. What do I do?
A: Please be patient. We are currently receiving large volumes of mail and application submissions. We are updating records as quickly as possible.
Q: Even though I requested all of my materials (transcripts, letters, etc.) be sent to your office in plenty of time to meet the deadline, not everything arrived. What can I do?
A: A file that is incomplete by the deadline will not be taken to the admissions committee for review. It is the applicant's responsibility to insure that all items are received in time. To accomplish this, make sure you request all materials be mailed to the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, not just UNT Health Science Center. There are 5 admissions offices on our campus and items that are not properly addressed may be lost. When you request materials sent, make sure to ask how long the processing time is. You may need to pay a rush fee or priority shipping for transcripts. We will also accept official transcripts in sealed envelopes that are issued directly to the student. Check your status online frequently until you see that your file is complete.
Q: Why do I have to provide transcripts from schools other than the school that granted my degree when all of the courses I took are listed on that transcript?
A: Colleges and universities will only print the courses they accept in transfer on their own transcripts. Most of them only include the credits awarded, not the grades earned. In order to evaluate your application fairly, we must have all of the information. This includes transcripts from foreign schools granting credit for "summer abroad" type courses.
Q: I applied to TCOM and have already submitted my transcripts. Why can't you get them from my TCOM file?
A: You actually submitted your transcripts to TMDSAS. TMDSAS, in turn, summarizes your academic history and distributes the summary to the medical schools reviewing your application. Because the actual transcripts do not go to TCOM admissions, we cannot obtain the transcripts from them. Our accreditation mandates that we require all applicants to provide transcripts from each and every institution of higher education attended.
Q: What can you get from my TCOM file?
A: We are unable to obtain any information from your TCOM file.
Q: I applied to TCOM. Will I get a new ID and password for the Enterprise Information System?
A: No. The Enterprise Information System (EIS) holds all of your information under one identification number (the EMPL ID). You will be able to use the same login (called the EUID) and password to access your application records for the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences as you did for TCOM. If you do not remember your EUID and password, contact our office for assistance.
Q: I have never applied to TCOM. How do I report my MCAT scores?
A: You can obtain your scores from the AAMC website, download your score report, including verification code and either upload it to your application or mail or email it to our office.
Q: I have not taken the MCAT yet. Can I substitute the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)?
A: If you are interested in applying to Physician Assistant programs after completing the Medical Sciences program, we will accept the GRE. Applicants interested in dentistry may submit the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). You MUST clearly indicate in your application that you are submitting a score other than the MCAT due to your career interest in one of those fields. For applicants interested in applying to medical schools, we do not accept any substitutions for the entrance examination requirements for admission to the Master of Science in Medical Sciences.
Q: Who should I ask to write letters of recommendation for me?
A: If you were enrolled in a pre-professional program, certainly you should use the pre-professional committee's recommendation letter(s). However, many applicants are returning to school several years after completing their undergraduate degrees and either no longer have access to the pre-professional office services or were not in a pre-professional program. We are interested in the opinions of individuals who are in positions to judge your ability to handle graduate-level course work and your potential as a healthcare provider. It is never appropriate for a relative to provide a letter of recommendation. The AAMC has produced a PDF entitled "Guidelines for Writing a Letter of Evaluation for a Medical School Applicant" that we recommend you provide to an evaluator when requesting a recommendation.
Q: Do students who complete this program get into medical school?
A: Yes! Click here to read the article "The Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Certification Program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center Strengthens Admission Qualifications for Entrance into Medical School,' published in the January 2008 issue of Academic Medicine (Vol. 83, No.1).
Q: When and how will I know if I am accepted?
A: The admissions committee will meet on a rolling basis. The committee may accept, deny or waitlist an applicant. When a final decision has been made, the application status will be updated on http://my.hsc.unt.edu and an official decision letter will be sent. Files are reviewed in the order they are completed. Therefore, the earlier your file is complete, the earlier it will be reviewed by the committee.
Q: I just received my acceptance letter. What do I do now?
A: Read your letter carefully. There are instructions for submitting required immunization records, student insurance information, etc. You will receive more communications from the Office of Admissions & Services and the Office of Student Development in preparation for New Student Orientation. Orientation is MANDATORY.
Q: I just received my waitlist letter. What do I do now?
A: Each year, we seat applicants from our waitlist as accepted applicants are made offers from medical school waitlists or make the decision to decline their admission offers to our program.
Q: I just received a denial letter. What do I do now?
A: Our best advice is to make an appointment with our office for a file review. Based on the committee's comments, we can give you very specific advice for improving your application to our program for next year. We conduct file reviews in the month of June. Please e-mail the Admissions Office for an appointment.

HE that dies in an earnest pursuit, is like one that is wounded in hot blood; who, for the time, scarce feels the hurt; and, therefore, a mind fixed and bent upon somewhat that is good doth avert the dolours of death.
FIGHT on, thou brave, true heart, and falter not, through dark future, and through bright. The cause thou tightest for, so far as it is true, no further, yet precisely so far, is very sure of victory. The falsehood alone of it will be conquered, will be abolished, as it ought to be; but the truth of it is part of Nature's own laws; co-operates with the world's eternal tendencies; and cannot be conquered.

Credited as : American writer, Novelist and playwright, Romance Island
Zona Gale was an American writer. She was born at Portage, Wisconsin (which she often used as a setting in her writing), and attended Wayland Academy at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Later she entered the University of Wisconsin, from which institution she received a Bachelor of Literature degree in 1895, and four years later a Master's degree.
After graduation Gale wrote for newspapers in Milwaukee and New York. However, before long she gave up journalism to focus on writing. She then published her first novel ";Romance Island"; and began the very popular series of ";Friendship Village"; stories.
In 1912, Gale moved back to Portage, which she would call call home for the rest of her life, although alternating with trips to New York.
In 1920, she published the novel Miss Lulu Bett, which depicts life in the Midwest. She adapted it as a play, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921.

VOICES FROM THE HEALTH SECTOR
Sharjah 2020 | HEALTH | VOICES FROM THE SECTOR
PANKAJ SHRIVASTAV
Conceive—The Gynecology and Fertility Hospital
Could you give us a brief introduction of Conceive?
In 2004, I decided to branch out on my own. At that time, Dubai's laws did not allow for private fertility centers, so I chose to locate it at the Dubai-Sharjah border. In those days, there was less traffic, and Dubai was still far from its prime. Patients were quite happy to travel to Sharjah since Conceive was a large, well-known private fertility center. Dubai's public fertility center was still operating, but we still got a lot of patients. Thereafter, Dubai started growing, and we realized that we needed an outlet in Dubai. In the meantime, Dubai relaxed its laws regarding private fertility centers; a new federal law was introduced in 2007-2008, which gave guidelines for fertility centers in general. About five years ago, we realized that patients from the other end of Dubai were finding it difficult to come to Sharjah, so we decided to open an outlet in Dubai to accommodate them.
Are you engaged in research as well as treatment?
At present, we are mainly doing clinical work. When I worked for the government, we published a great deal of original research and invented new techniques, which are now being followed all over the world. But the private sector here faces some limitations. For one, we cannot try experimental procedures according to laws set by the Ministry of Health, and rightly so.
VALSARAJ K NAMBIAR
Ibn Rushd Medical LLC
How was the company established, and what have been some recent achievements?
Ibn Rushd Medical was established in 1996 by Mathew George as a second line distributor of pharmaceutical products; later it added several new products such as medical devices, CSSD and infection control items, safety, and hygiene products. Recently we were able to sign several exclusive contracts with reputed and well-known medical device manufacturers and hope this will support us to become one of the premium suppliers in the region.
How are you managing the competition?
There is competition in the market; everyone has to survive. In order to ensure that we do, we always strive to provide the best services to our customers by offering the best quality products with reasonable prices and timely support. We also try to add innovative and specialized medical care products in our portfolio, which includes medical-related software and several IT related products. We also recently added a diagnostic device to identify breast cancer that can be used as an early detection device. We are also focusing on outpatient and home healthcare by providing premium products with a good customer and end-user support. For specialty and diagnostic devices, we approach the competent government authorities, corporate hospitals, and specialty diagnostic centers.
MONTASSER SALAHUDIN
Dar Al Oyoun Eye Hospital
What have been your biggest achievements since your establishment in 2004?
We cover most eye diseases. There has been a shift in ophthalmology over the last few years, and the admission of eye patients overnight is extremely rare. Most cases are treated in a few hours. Based on recent developments, we offer a more effective service to the population because we can treat 98% of cases. There are some rare causes where patients need to be admitted to major hospitals. However, we are a daycare hospital that offers extensive services. We have sub-specialties, including cornea, retina, refractive surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, and other fast surgeries. We have several visiting surgeons who work internationally but come here contractually.
What recent projects or initiatives have you completed?
We are doing a radical renovation at the moment and expanding our area by 50%. This expansion is almost complete. We will demolish certain existing spaces and rebuild them with state-of-the-art technology. We would like to double the size of our operating theater. We are accommodating more ophthalmology equipment and want to improve every area, such as sterilization, air conditioning, and other minute details. We want everything to be up to date according to UAE standards and the GCI. We are expanding in terms of quality and quantity. We will have seven examinations and four treatment rooms. We also want to update our recovery room because we sometimes have to administer general anesthesia.

Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks
Starring: Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines, Deborah Watling, John Bailey, Marius Goring, Brigit Forsyth, Geoffrey Colville, Griffith Davies, Alec Ross, Windsor Davies
Directors: AnneMarie Walsh, Derek Martinus
Genre: TV Sci-Fi, British-Television
Theme: Doctor Who
Distributor/Studio: BBC Warner
Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks on DVD
One of the most popular shows in British TV history, this long-running, shoestring-budgeted sci-fi saga followed the exploits of "the Doctor," a maverick scientist and adventurer who traversed space and time in the TARDIS, a high-tech craft disguised (well, stuck, actually) as a London police box. William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy starred as the various eccentric incarnations of the Doctor during the series's initial 1963-1989 run. The Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and Jamie's search for the missing TARDIS leads them to the year 1866, where they meet new companion Victoria and attempt to foil the latest dastardly Dalek plot. This animated version of the largely missing 1967 story features the original audio and the surviving second episode in live-action. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.

World Cup coming to a close with historical final
Thomas Muller and Lionel Messi prepare to face-off
Sunday's final sees a return of South America vs. Europe, as Argentina-Germany face off for a record third time in final
by Oliver Costamagna
Sunday will see millions of people sit down around the world to watch the FIFA World Cup final. It is the world's most viewed sporting event and the 2014 final between Germany and Argentina is sure to grab an incredible amount of attention. Not only because it is between two of world Football's 'superpowers', but because it sees the classic rivalry between South America and Europe re-ignite itself. The last time a team from each continent made the final was 2002 when Brazil faced Germany, which was something of a regular occurrence with every final from 1986 through to 2002 involving a South American against a European side. 2006 and 2010 saw back to back all-European finals for the first time since 1934 and 1938. Now, as Germany and Argentina go head to head, they also become the two teams to have faced each other the most in World Cup finals: 1986, 1990 and 2014.
The 1986 final in Mexico City saw West Germany reach its second successive final, having lost to Italy in 1982. However, in their way was Diego Armando Maradona, a player that had almost single-handedly carried Argentina to the final, scoring two of the most famous goals in history in the process against England in the quarter-final. While Maradona failed to score in the final, the Albiceleste proved too much for West Germany overcoming them 3-2 to lift the second World Cup in their history. A moment that crowned Maradona as one of the greatest players of all-time.
Four years later, in Italy, the two met in the final yet again giving West Germany a chance to get revenge over Maradona and Argentina almost immediately. The final proved to be one of the most boring games of the tournament with Argentina producing only one shot on goal and becoming in the process the first team in history not score in a World Cup final. It appeared clear that the Albiceleste played with the intention of going to penalties. Ironically, the only goal of the contest arrived in the 85th minute when Mexican referee Edgardo Codesal awarded a controversial penalty to West Germany. Roberto Sensini was adjudged to have fouled Rudi Voller, and Andreas Brehme converted the resulting spot-kick. It ended 1-0 with West Germany lifting their third World Cup and getting revenge over their rivals for the 1986 loss.
1990 is the last time Argentina played a World Cup final, a 24 year absence, during which their fans and players have suffered. Now, thanks largely to the leadership of Javier Mascherano, the Albiceleste are back in the final. Not only are they back but they have the luxury of playing the final in their arch rivals and neighbours backyard, the legendary Maracana. On top of that, Argentina face Germany once again, for third time in their last three finals. The country and the team will be looking to get revenge for the 1990 defeat, which the majority of the nation feel was an injustice given the controversial penalty. The stage seems perfectly set for Argentina to put and end to 24 years of pain and suffering. However, in order to do so, they will need to get past a German team on a mission.
Germany has been chasing their fourth victory since 1990 and have suffered a final defeat in 2002 at the hands of Brazil and the heartbreak of losing the semi-final at home to Italy in 2006. In fact, 2014 proved to be Germany's fourth consecutive semi-final, an impressive achievement to say the least but now the time has come for this group of players to bring a trophy home and ensure that all the hard work done by the nation and the German football federation in the past 12 years doesn't go to waste. Despite beating Brazil 7-1 in the semi-final, it is hard to say who is favourite going into the final, in fact Sunday's clash could prove to be a tight affair, considering how solid Argentina have been throughout the tournament in defence.
No matter what the final outcome is, one thing is certain, the World Cup in Brazil has proved to be a spectacular tournament that has been full of wonderful matches, a number of surprises and has conveyed huge emotion to football fans around the globe. The tournament is special because it only happens once every four years, but at times one wishes football could always be so special.

A look at the accusations against FIFA From the president of everybody, to that of nobody in just four days Blatter working towards reform despite scandals


At Air Arms they believe in commitment to excellence in order to create product superiority and that commitment begins with production technology that is applied to everything they do by the skill of their staff. The Air Arms philosophy of 'only the finest' is maintained through research, design, development and production, and it is constantly challenged by a quality control team.
Air Arms believe they are the best because that position was the only one acceptable, and many customers will share that stance as they continue to be the best as their products constantly evolve to meet the demands of our customers new and old, and they already know only the best will do for them.
You and Air Arms could be a winning combination, because at Air Arms they put you first. When you view the quality of the products within Air Arms' range it shows you where Air Arms is today and how they managed to get there. Air Arms is a Modern, progressive company that maintains its position through investment into the latest technology and people, whilst withholding a history and a heritage of which they are extremely proud of. Air Arms knows that cutting edge technology and traditional gunmaking skills can be combined successfully, because they built their reputation on it.
1983 is where the Air Arms story began, when company founder, Bob Nicholls, and his General Manager, Colin King, were joined by Bill Sanders in the role of Sales and Marketing Manager. At that time, airguns themselves and the industry that produced them certainly could not be described as 'hi-tech', but Air Arms would soon go on to lead the way. In 1988, the decision was made to produce a pre-charged pneumatic rifle, and with the success of that decision, the company made another one — it would invest in Computer Numerically Controlled production machinery.
By the mid- 1990s, the tremendous advantages of CNC production technology had been fully embraced at Air Arms, allowing them to continue expanding and refining its range of pre-charged and spring-piston air rifles, and entering a long lasting UK distribution partnership with John Rothery Wholesale. Further expertise and creativity was provided from world class consultants, such as Ken Turner and Nick Jenkinson and as product quality continued to rise so did the sales of Air Arms rifles. By the time the world awoke to a New Millennium, the vision, expertise and countless hours of hard work invested by Bob Nicholls, Colin King, Bill Sanders and their staff, had taken Air Arms to the top, where it's remained ever since.
Getting to the level they are at now was hard enough, but staying there required everything already invested, and more. Bob Nicholls and his team re-grouped, re-planned, and re-invested for the future, and today the company produces sporting air rifles that set the hunting standard, and competition rifles that win world championships, all supplied through a network of international distributors. As goals are achieved and new milestones passed, Air Arms retains the same drive and standards of its founder, Bob Nicholls, who passed away in 2011. Those who now take the company forward do so on a foundation of the principles he pioneered, and that's one thing that will always remain.
Air Arms is the best, because the finest airgun products in the world carry its name, and proof of this is on every product with their name on it. Air Arms - where your shooting dreams become reality.


Police academies in New Jersey are typically operated on a county basis through regional agreements with law enforcement agencies within the county. All academies must be certified by the New Jersey Police Training Commission to provide basic police training. Several state agencies, such as the New Jersey State Police and New Jersey Department of Corrections also operate their own academies. New Jersey police academies may offer alternate route certificates, allowing recruits to pay their own way through the academy and then be hired by a department.

Who Raised Jesus from the Dead?
Stop Saying, "God is good all the time" . . .
"He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it" (Titus 1:9).


All SMEs want digital marketing success. But in my experience too many gaily skip over the fundamental stage of creating a customised digital marketing strategy in their excitement to write blogs, post on social media posts and let the lure of Facebook ads and Google Adwords envelope them.
And that's a real shame. And I don't mean to criticise…..
But I recently realised that many entrepreneurs are so wrapped up in the wow-ness of their own product, they forget that your average Joe or average Julie is bombarded by sales pitches every single day - via multiple digital marketing channels.
They reflect. They check out their successful competitors. They start to see a trend of consistent messages and well thought through marketing campaigns. And they realise they need a robust digital marketing strategy to follow before they spend even a penny on their marketing activities.
These guys and gals are busy embracing outsourcing with a passion. They throw money at a variety of companies (whose websites are all shiny and glossy) who promise leads galore OR unrivalled social media engagement OR mega Adwords success OR guarantee first page listing OR back links by the thousand.
Not a hint of a digital marketing strategy to follow. No easy way to co-ordinate all the different activities. And then they wonder why they're spending loads of money on marketing, but seeing a poor return on investment.
If you want to reach the Joes and Julies of this world, and actually make sales, you need to nail your digital marketing strategy from day one.
You need a plan to deliver a consistent marketing message to the right target market at the right time via the most suitable digital marketing channels for your specific business.
4. How Does A Digital Marketing Strategy Achieve That?
Beware the strategists who offer a 50 page report of statistics, competitor reviews, technical terminology and a load more waffle!
If your unique selling point isn't immediately apparent, why would people choose you over other companies they already trust?
Your strategy should identify your specific niche in a very busy digital market place through thorough examination of your product and in depth competitor research.
However unique your product, if you aren't explaining how it can benefit your potential customers, they really won't understand its attraction.
Your marketing strategy should identify the words, the phrases and the visuals to use to make it completely apparent.
Only a professionally designed website, with clear content and visuals, can convey your USP and key messages.
Your digital marketing strategy should highlight how your website should be adjusted to achieve this, and so help build credibility in your brand.
All well run businesses have a specific marketing budget – so make it work for you. There's no need to be active on all social media channels if just a couple reach your target market. Similarly why spend £1000s on Google display Adwords if you can generate all the business you can handle via cheaper Facebook ads?
A sound marketing strategy will define exactly which channels you should be active on to achieve your own specific business objectives.
What's the point of offering a 10% discount on your website but not offering it on Facebook?
Where's the rationale of launching your new product on your website and across your social media channels, but forgetting to tell your existing customers via a nice, newsy e-newsletter?
An effective strategy will ensure your campaigns are marketed across all relevant channels simultaneously - ensuring the same messages is sent out everywhere.
Unlike the less successful CEO's who outsource each individual task to niche experts and then realise they can't co-ordinate the various activities effectively, as a SME it makes more sense to work with a team comprising all the expertise you need – the "one stop shop" approach.
you'll receive a single report on progress which clearly shows how the different marketing channels stack up against one another in terms of effectiveness.
So what's it to be? Successful CEO with a detailed, effective digital marketing strategy to follow OR less successful CEO juggling multiple marketing companies with no clear grasp of what on earth is going on?
If you want to know more about digital marketing strategy or need help with any aspect of digital marketing, please feel free to drop us a line.

'Sailors' begins our travel with Trockensaft on his EP for Dear Deer. A journey listeners have grown accustomed to through his several releases on prominent labels, as well as his own, KDB Records. The producer comes with his extreme talent by entrancing us using slow progressions through ambient padding and powerful melodies.
This tribal tech house take on Trockensaft's Sailors is guaranteed to get the dance floor jiving and bouncing through percussionary ambience and chemistry. Each melodic element phases together, creating an environment filled with theoretically balanced melodies and harmonies every listener will appreciate.
Luigi Gori & Larsen Hesh take us into the progressive atmospheres for their take on Trockensaft's Sailors. Driving rhythms and percussions allow the user to float gently along while the conductors lay the groundwork of the journey ahead.
The quiet and the storm summarizes this epic release by KDB Head Trockensaft for Dear Deer. Cloaked in mystifying pads and atmospheres, the journey presented by Sir Trockensaft, allows the listener to travel along the paths put before them, without knowing where the ending will take them. In order to experience Ursa Minor, just sit back, and let the conductor guide you through the unknown.into the void.into Dear Deer.

Ninad is an Astrophysics and Applied Mathematics major who is involved with the Columbia Undergraduate Recruitment Committee, Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, Columbia Organization of Rising Entrepreneurs and the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal. He has connected with his mentor as part of the Odyssey Summer Match program.
Interview with Ninad Nirgudkar CC'20
What has your Summer Match program experience been like?
I've had the chance to really get to know my mentor through phone calls and emails. She's offered me great advice about how to approach my current internship and what things to think about as I chart out the final year of my college career. I've been blown away by the level of engagement from her and her willingness to really be an ally and sounding board for all of the decisions I have to make in the coming year.
What advice would you give an alum who is looking to mentor a student?
The most important thing I've found is a willingness to share feedback that might cause your mentee to challenge some of their ideas or preconceived notions of what they want to do. I've found it most helpful when my mentor has said to me, "You're telling me you're really interested in doing X, but you're talking so much about Y. Have you really considered where your passions lie?" or asking probing questions like, "Tell me what really led you to do this activity/take this job/accept this internship." A good mentor is not only available and committed but also helps you really think through your motivations for doing something.
What has been the most helpful part of being a mentee?
Being paired with someone whose career path is similar to mine. My mentor worked in a similar role out of college, went on to further education in a field I'm interested in and has a treasure trove of knowledge that is helping guide me through my decisions. Her experiences and stories helped me prepare for my internship this summer and have made me a better contributor to the team I'm on.
What has been most surprising about being a mentee?
How apt the matching process is! I didn't think my mentor would be so similar to me in terms of career goals and aspirations, and she has been one of the best resources I've ever had. The process was super easy, and within a week of signing up, I was matched. I honestly didn't think I'd use the platform as much as I do.

Manitoba dairy producers reeling from USMCA trade deal
Public support largely behind dairy farmers
Livestock opinions diverge on USMCA
Dairy downer
On Canadian dairy farms, fear and frustration as U.S. demands trade concessions
By Allison Lampert, Rod Nickel

Reuters – Marie-Pier Vincent, a fourth-generation Quebec dairy farmer, worries it will be even harder to make ends meet as Canada allows more tariff-free imports of milk products from the United States under a reworked North American Free Trade Agreement.
Vincent, 28, is already looking for a second job to pay back the money she borrowed to strike out on her own two years ago and start up a 35-cow farm 100 km (60 miles) southeast of Montreal. She and Canada's 11,000 dairy farmers made these investments trusting in the country's price controls and protection from imports that have been in place since the 1970s.
Read more: Trudeau takes Quebec dairy gamble to preserve big trade deal
Now she fears for her future as Canada relaxes its controls and agrees to admit more U.S. dairy.
"It's a huge deal as I have a lot of debts," she said in the days leading up to the NAFTA negotiations deadline Sept. 30.
U.S. President Donald Trump wanted a reworked NAFTA deal that eliminated dairy tariffs of up to 300 per cent that he argued were hurting U.S. farmers, an important political base for Republicans.
Canada was under pressure to reach a new NAFTA deal with Mexico and the United States after the bilateral deal announced by the United States and Mexico.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose federal Liberal government relies on support from Ontario and Quebec where most dairy farmers live, had repeatedly said that he will defend Canada's dairy industry.
But Ottawa was ready to make concessions on Canada's sheltered $21-billion dairy market to save a dispute-settlement system, a provision that was dropped from the agreement that the United States and Mexico reached. The text of the deal allows approximately 3.5 per cent duty-free market access to the U.S.
Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard warned Ottawa at the start of that province's election campaign that any weakening of Canada's supply management policies would have "serious political consequences."
Ralph Dietrich tripled capacity at his Ontario farm over the past three years to 170 cows producing milk. Dietrich bought an additional farm and more production quota after Canadian farmers struck a deal to sell skim milk to the country's processors at a lower price.
That deal, called Class 7, allowed them to compete with cheap U.S. supplies, and the move angered American farmers.
Ending the Class 7 deal, as U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has demanded, would force farmers such as Dietrich's son and son-in-law to reduce production.
"The two young people in the next generation would have a lifetime ahead of them of doom and gloom," said Dietrich, who is chairman of Dairy Farmers of Ontario. "It would be the beginning of the end of supply management."
Class 7 allows farmers to sell at a competitive price the protein-rich part of milk, called the skim, to Canadian dairies for use in making cheese and yogurt. Prior to Class 7 taking effect last year, Canadian dairies imported from northeastern U.S. processors greater quantities of a similar product that is not subject to Canadian tariffs.
François Dumontier, spokesman for les Producteurs de lait du Quebec, a dairy producers' group, questioned how Canadian farmers could be stopped from setting their own prices.
"We sell the milk to processors at the price we want."
Separately, surrendering greater tariff-free access for U.S. dairy, as Canada has done in past trade deals, would add to a steady erosion of supply management, said Manitoba dairy farmer David Wiens.
"Each time you do that you're taking something away from the Canadian dairy industry and over time weaken the industry," he said.

L'extrait foliaire (EF) est un concentré de nutriments (protéines, vitamines, minéraux) obtenu à partir du jus de feuilles de certaines plantes. Il a été identifié comme une source alimentaire humaine et animale  incroyable, à cause de son très bas prix et de l'abondance des plantes adaptées à l'extraction foliaire. Si les nutriments se trouvent directement dans les plantes, on ne peut consommer les feuilles telles quelles car le système digestif humain n'est pas capable de digérer les fibres. L'étape de concentration est essentielle car elle permet de séparer les nutriments des fibres.

Application

Dans les années 1960, les EF se sont montrés comestibles pour l'Homme et malgré un potentiel important, la découverte ne fit pas grand bruit. Norman Wingate Pirie porta le sujet bien plus loin : ce biochimiste britannique, qui remporta le prix Nobel, examina et souligna l'importance de leurs avantages aussi bien sur le plan alimentaire qu'au niveau de leur production. Alors que les régimes alimentaires de plus en plus gourmand en viande animale poussent à la recherche de moyens alternatifs pour satisfaire les besoins, en protéines notamment, les EF deviennent une source de plus en plus intéressante. Ceci amène à renouveler l'intérêt des EF pour réduire les quantités de protéines comestibles pour l'homme dans l'alimentation animale.

Santé et alimentation

Les EF sont riches en acides aminés (sauf en méthionine où elle est limitanteavec des scores entre 13.5-96%) et en polyphénols. Pour faire des EF une source en nutriments viable pour l'alimentation humaine, il faut régler le problème de la teneur en fibre et de la présence de certains composants non comestibles comme les tanins, le cyanure et le phytate.

La teneur en phytates (facteur antinutritionnel) des exraits foliaires de luzerne est faible, inférieur à 0,2g de phytates par kg.  Les  valeurs  retrouvées  sont  en  phase  avec  la  notion  de  faible  concentration  de  phytates dans les feuilles et tiges des plantes.

Les protéines végétales sont des protéines complètes équilibrées en acide aminés contrairement aux céréales pauvres en tryptophane ou en lysine, et aux légumineuses pauvres en méthionine.Les extraits foliaires de luzerne par exemple contiennent autant de méthionine que le lait en poudre : environ 30 mg par gramme de protéine.

Méthodes de production

La méthode générale pour obtenir des EF à partir de feuilles est de réduire ces dernières en pulpes et de presser pour en faire sortir le jus. Ce jus vert est ensuite chauffé pour faire coaguler les protéines. Après une filtration et un séchage, on obtient une pâte riche en protéines et nutriments.
