UCAS have announced that this year's deadline for 'equal consideration' has been extended to 18:00 GMT on 29 January 2021. This is to give students more time to complete their application if they have been affected by the recent disruption in UK schools.
If you apply through UCAS to any of our undergraduate degrees by the new deadline we will guarantee you the same consideration as every applicant who has already applied.
If you have difficulties submitting an application by 29 January due to significant circumstances beyond your control, please email ug-admissions-extension@bath.ac.uk for advice in advance of the deadline. We can consider extensions to this deadline on an individual basis but only in exceptional cases.
You will still be able to apply for many of our courses after the UCAS deadline. Due to popularity, some courses will be unavailable after 29 January 2021. Some courses may only have vacancies for applicants from outside the UK after this date.
Details of which courses are available for students who apply after 29 January 2021 will be available through UCAS and on our course pages.
Governments have already announced a number of changes to exam and award arrangements in Summer 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic. While the approach taken will be different this year, at Bath we expect that in most cases these changes (including the cancellation of exams) will not harm any application you make to us. Where possible, we will make adjustments to ensure you are not disadvantaged by any changes to your exams.
A levels in England
The UK Government has confirmed that exams for A levels in England have been cancelled. Students will instead receive grades based on some form of alternative assessments and teacher assessments in Summer 2021. The details of these arrangements have yet to be confirmed.
While we had hoped it would be possible for these exams to take place, we included the possibility they would not when making plans for this year. As such, we will be accepting any grades awarded in Summer 2021 as normal, and these changes will not affect how we consider your application.
We are not making any changes to existing offers or our typical requirements because of these changes.
We will update you once any changes to the process and timings of results as those changes are confirmed.
A levels in Wales
The Welsh Government has confirmed that A level exams will be cancelled in Summer 2021. Students will now be awarded grades based on teacher assessments, following the subsequent cancellation of plans for externally-moderated classroom assessments.
We will be accepting any A levels awarded in Summer 2021 as normal, and these changes will not affect how we consider your application. We are also not making any changes to existing offers or our typical requirements as a result of these changes.
We expect this will remain the same should the current arrangements be revised to match those announced for A levels in England. We will update you should any further changes be announced.
A levels in Northern Ireland
The Northern Irish Government has announced that A level exams will be cancelled in Summer 2021. We do not yet know the format or timing of the alternative arrangements for the awarding of grades this year.
As with A levels in England and Wales, we do not expect these changes will affect how we consider your application. We are not making any changes to existing offers or our typical requirements because of these changes.
We will update you once information is available on the alternative arrangements for awarding grades.
Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers
The Scottish Government has confirmed Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers exams will be replaced with teacher assessments in Summer 2021. Results are expected to be released as normal.
We will be accepting any Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers awarded in Summer 2021 as normal, and these changes will not affect how we consider your application.
International A levels
We understand exams will go ahead for some or all International A levels this year.
If any of the changes announced for A levels in England were also adopted for International A levels, we would not expect this to affect how we consider your application, in the same way, they have not changed our approach for students in England.
We do not expect to make any changes to existing offers or our typical requirements for students studying International A levels.
We will update you once more information is available on the plans for these qualifications.
Exams entered as a private candidate
If you were planning to enter exams as a private candidate (for example, because you are re-sitting qualifications awarded in 2020 separate from your school), you may be particularly concerned about the impact of exam cancellations.
If you are a private candidate, we strongly advise you to keep in regular contact with your exam centre regarding what support they are able to offer you. Last year many private candidates who initially believed they would be unable to receive A level grades based on teacher assessments were ultimately able to do so through arrangements with their centres.
If you hold an offer from us and are unable to be awarded grades through your centre, we will contact you with further advice once more information is known. You do not need to contact us to let us know you are a private candidate at this stage.
GCSEs and National 5s
GCSE and National 5s exams have been cancelled this year. In most cases, it has not been confirmed what alternative arrangements will be put in place for students to receive their grades.
If you are applying for 2021 with a re-sit in a GCSE we will contact you directly if needed to discuss the implications of these changes.
If you are finishing your GCSEs or National 5s this year, you do not need to worry about the impact of these changes on any future application. We will make adjustments to our approach for affected students in future years to ensure you are not disadvantaged.
We will continue to monitor the situation for students studying other qualifications both in the UK and across the world. Where possible, we will make adjustments to ensure you are not disadvantaged by any changes to your exams this year.
We know that applying for university is a big step, and students are often anxious about their chances of securing an offer at their top choices. The popularity of each degree varies from year to year, and in any year it is impossible for us to predict with certainty how many students may choose to apply until all the applications are in.
With suggestions that more students would choose to postpone their studies in 2020, you may be concerned about how this will affect you if you apply this year.
At Bath, we have 550 students holding deferred places to join in 2021 from last year. While this is a higher number than we have seen before (we had 380 in 2020), it represents a small proportion of the 3,600 places we have available each year.
There are other big events, such as Brexit, which may also impact how many students apply this year.
We are not expecting competition for most of our degrees to be significantly different from previous years because of this and want to reassure you that we individually consider each and every application which we receive.
We are not increasing our entry requirements for any degrees due to the pandemic.
There are a few changes to our typical requirements this year for other reasons, including revised English language requirements for some degrees and new typical offers for qualifications with major revisions (such as the French Baccalaureate and Mathematics subjects in the International Baccalaureate).
We will be continuously assessing the impact of the pandemic on study across the world, and where appropriate we may change our typical requirements to ensure they remain fair for all applicants this year. Any changes, for this reason, will be to your advantage – we may remove or lower academic requirements, but we will not add or increase requirements. Changes we have already made in response to Covid-19 this year:
If you are studying a GCE A level in a science or Geology, we will not require a pass in any separate Science Practical Endorsement. This applies to all degrees.
As some students may have difficulty accessing them this year, we have removed additional mathematics tests from typical offers for many of our degrees in Mathematics. We have also reduced A level requirements for students who study Further Mathematics so that they do not miss out on a reduced offer through the removal of these tests. Additional mathematics tests will remain a requirement for some students where they are essential to ensuring you are suitably prepared to study one of these degrees. Details are on our relevant course pages.
You might be concerned about how Covid-19 has affected your opportunities and the impact on your personal statement. The first thing to remember is everyone is in the same position as you, and we will understand that some opportunities may have been more limited for you.
If you are concerned that you are missing relevant experiences you might want to consider alternatives you can do from the comfort of your own home. Short online MOOCs, engaging with online lectures, academically-orientated podcasts or relevant reading are all options to give you insights about your course that you can share in your statement.
We also know work experience opportunities have been more limited. Work experience is not essential for almost all our degrees, and in a normal year, most applicants will not have relevant work or voluntary experience. This is especially true in fields such as engineering, science and social sciences. If you do not have work experience you do not need to worry - focus on the positive experiences you do have for your statement.
You might have individual circumstances arising from the pandemic that you want universities to know about, such as greater disruption in your home or school life. Our advice is to not include too much about these in your personal statement. Our approach to school disruption, and when and how you should let us know is covered in the following section.
Schools and colleges have moved to remote teaching across most of the UK, and this is expected to continue until at least the middle of February. Regardless of where you live, you will likely have also experienced disruption to your education last year. We know the impact of this disruption will have varied between students (and their schools), but we also recognise the continuing challenges faced by all students across the world.
As in any year, we will also be mindful of these challenges when assessing final results this year should overall performance be lower than normal. We are continually monitoring the situation in other countries for our international applicants.
While we understand that this is a very unsettling time, please be reassured we consider school closures and general disruption automatically as part of our normal consideration. However, we appreciate you may experience individual specific circumstances (related or unrelated to Covid-19) which may affect your ability to perform academically. If you do have mitigating circumstances, we encourage you to read our published guidance and fill in our mitigating circumstances form so we can consider them carefully alongside your application.
If you achieved your final qualifications last year and meet our typical offer for your chosen degree then we will be able to consider and accept those results as normal. Please be aware that we can only accept results that have been formally awarded by the relevant organisation – we cannot consider other measures (such as predicted grades) instead of final awards.
We can consider you if you are resitting some or all of your qualifications from 2020 and expect to achieve new grades. We know that the circumstances for any awards in 2020 may not reflect your true ability, and as such, you will not be penalised for any lower results last year.
We will accept the results of any resit exams already taken this school year. We will also accept results awarded in Summer 2021, whether awarded through exams or teacher or classroom assessments. Where you can be awarded grades in a qualification more than once this year (for example, from a Winter re-sit and a Summer teacher assessment), we will accept your highest awarded result.
Guidance on how we will support students planning to re-sit qualifications as a private candidate is included in the 'Exams entered as a private candidate' section.
If you received an offer from Bath last year (for 2020 or 2021 entry) and choose to reapply for the same degree, you will already have a guarantee that we will make you a new offer this year. The conditions of this offer will match those you received last year. You do not need to do anything other than reapply through UCAS to claim this offer; we will automatically make sure you receive it.
If you are applying for the first time with results from last year or resits, or if you choose to apply for a different degree having received an offer last year, your application will be considered as normal alongside all other applicants and whether you receive an offer will depend on the strength of your application.

Praise for the Military
While praise for the military often goes overboard, the reaction to the McChrystal flap shows our armed forces at their finest.
James Joyner · Thursday, June 24, 2010 · 7 comments
One of my recent pet peeves has been the deification of the military, in which ordinary actions are considered heroic and far too much deference is given to those who served. It's an understandable artifact of an all-volunteer force in which most of our elites not only bypass service but have little day-to-day contact with those who do or have. But it's an unhealthy attitude in a democracy.
That said, it's worth praising the real virtues of the military, as Ezra Klein does this morning:
McChrystal's comments themselves amounted to impolitic and unwise gripes about his bosses in front of a reporter. In any other context, it'd be a story, but not all that interesting of one. The outrage, however, was fueled by military rules and traditions that allow very little public criticism of civilian leadership in order to ensure that political and strategic disagreement doesn't curdle into a culture of opposition among the people with all the weapons. McChrystal was clearly lax on policing criticism within his command, but when the system was made aware of that failure, the system worked. You did not see politically disgruntled generals rallying around McChrystal.
Instead, what you saw was David Petraeus taking a command that amounts to a demotion from his current post and could destroy his reputation as a miracle worker. Petraeus's successes in Iraq gave him a tremendous reputation and credibility as a big, strategic thinker. He could rest on that, retire on that, run for office on that. Instead, Petraeus is going to put that reputation back on the line in service of a war effort that may well be doomed. Why? Well, the civilian who leads the military asked him to, and a soldier obeys.
And I want to emphasize, again, that while my immediate and sustained reaction to the Rolling Stone article was that McChrystal simply had to be fired — and my general sense that McChrystal is arrogant even for a man of his accomplishment — he handled himself in the finest traditions of military service once the crisis broke. He manned up for his mistakes, made it as easy as he could on the president to do what had to be done, and went away quietly.
I will say, though, that while I have the utmost respect for David Petraeus — and that only increased yesterday — and think Obama's choice here was a master stroke, I do worry about the Man on Horseback model it represents. The Army is, at its core, an institution and the continued reliance on one man's indispensability is not without its drawbacks.
FILED UNDER: General, David Petraeus, Ezra Klein, Stanley McChrystal
PD Shaw says:
But James, the irony here is that your position, which I would describe as expecting the very highest degree of professionalism in the armed services, strongly encourages the Man on Horseback myth you fear. You want the Generals to play out the public role of loyal subordinate without personal views or agency, and where does that lead? That leads to Generals like George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower.
It should lead to generals who are virtually interchangable. Not that there won't be stars among the stars, of course. But McChrystal's deputy should certainly be fully equipped to step up.
There are an awful lot of good things about the military that a lot of civilians do not appreciate. At its best, when it had to deal with this kind of crisis, it functioned well. The military after action model is one that more civilian institutions should use.
I was struck by how those with no military experience tended to want to keep McChrystal and those who had thought he needed to go. The other point I think you should note here, is that those on the right who could have made this difficult, especially McCain, Graham and Lieberman, did not use this for political points. A pleasant surprise and kudos to them for placing country first.
I was struck by how those with no military experience tended to want to keep McChrystal and those who had thought he needed to go.
It almost always breaks down that way. This is just so engrained into the military culture as to be a non-issue.
The other point I think you should note here, is that those on the right who could have made this difficult, especially McCain, Graham and Lieberman, did not use this for political points. A pleasant surprise and kudos to them for placing country first.
McCain and Graham have both been military officers and Graham is a JAG; it would have been shameful for them to do otherwise. All three are, rightly, focusing the politics of this on the policy itself, calling for a realignment of the civilian side (which I agree is necessary) and calling for ending the July 2011 deadline (which I agree is logical given the president's own declared policy but is not accordance with my policy preferences).
Word. Ollie North was a hero to many on the nonmilitary right. Among Marines, he was definitely not. Nobody's more rightwing than my brother–30-year Marine, commissioned officer. I asked why the antipathy towards North. His short and vehement answer, "He broke his oath."
steve, I have a different take. Some of the most ardent supporters of the use of military force in Afghanistan (neocons) were calling for McChrystal to go: McCain, Lieberman, Graham, Bill Kristol, Stephen Hayes, Eliot Cohen, John Yoo and (conditionally) Max Boot.
It seems like there were two diametrically opposed groups that saw removal of McChyrstal as advancing their interest: One thought it would create an opportunity to rethink Afghan policy, the other thought it was necessary to save the McChyrstal plan.
Ole_Sarge says:
A-men!
Appreciation and support is great, see me in uniform (or seeing my son in uniform) and coming up to say "Thank-you," IS ENOUGH.
And some of those that "say" the most platitudes were the very ones that did not just turn their backs, but either fled or were rabid in their hate, once long ago in their youth.

'Tis the season for lots of food, drinks, decorations and... well, lots of everything! It's a time when overindulgence is hard to avoid, which is why more trash is produced over the holidays than any other time of year. In fact, the average household increases their waste output by 25% or more! Learn what you can do to reduce your impact by following this simple guide. Everything from greeting cards and gift wrapping to properly sorting your waste - we've got you covered!
1. Christmas Cards: Instead of buying traditional Christmas cards, try sending them via email (E-cards), or find a brand that makes theirs out of recycled stock. Avoid cards with an excess of non-recyclable decorative material that will need to be sent to a landfill.
2. Decorations: If you're in the market for new holiday décor, make a local thrift store your first stop, or try making your own out of repurposed or natural materials! If you're feeling creative, there's no shortage of homemade eco-friendly decorations available online to try out, like this!
If you have decorations that you no longer use – be sure to donate them! AND - If you want an upgrade from your old Christmas lights, Efficiency Nova Scotia has a seasonal promotion through their no-charge Product Installation Service where you can trade in two strands of incandescent Christmas lights for one strand of LEDs. Sign up here!
3. Christmas Trees: It's a common misconception that artificial trees are better for the environment, when these trees are made from non-renewable plastics and end up in a landfill within an average of 6-7 years. Real trees are renewable and compostable; plus - it's important to support local tree farmers!
4. Have a Plan: Ask your loved ones what they want/ need for Christmas, create a shopping list, and stick to it! Distractions are everywhere this time of year, but if you stay organized you will save yourself money and avoid unnecessary purchases that may seem rushed or ingenuine and are likely to end up in a landfill.
5. Avoid Wasteful Purchases: Instead of buying gifts for the sake of buying gifts, take a more mindful, thoughtful approach. Ask yourself: will this person truly benefit from this gift? Will they use it? Is it a quality product that will last? Are there any sustainable alternatives to this product that is made from recycled material, requires less packaging, or won't contribute to the landfill at the end of its use? Be a smart, responsible consumer!
6. Experience Gifts: This is a great alternative to giving your loved ones "stuff" that quickly accumulates over the holidays. Buy them tickets to a workshop, take them out for dinner or a coffee date, gift them a massage or facial, hire a photographer to take family photos, buy them a gym or yoga studio membership. There are so many fun and meaningful options to choose from!
Pro tip: check out upcoming events on Facebook for ideas, all while supporting your local community!
7. Consumable Gifts: This could include gifts like coffee beans bought in bulk, their favourite baked goods (freezer ready so they don't go to waste!), recipes in a jar, kits to make homemade crafts, or maybe a bottle of wine. Remember, ensure it is something you know they will like and get use of! Go one step further and package these gifts in something that can be reused or recycled, like a mason jar or a nice tin.
8. Re-gifting: Although a taboo idea to some, there should be no shame in re-gifting an item that may be better suited for someone else in your life, if you personally have no use for it.
8. Reuse What You Have: Take stock and see what you already have kicking around the house, from old gift-wrapping materials, to things like silk scarves or newspaper that can be used to wrap gifts. If you're not already in the habit, start saving intact gift wrapping and packaging for future use, including ribbon and bows, gift bags, boxes, and cards! For example, old cards can be turned into beautiful gift tags.
9. Buy Recycled Products: This step is nice and simple - look for items that have been made from recycled material! It's important to support businesses that are promoting a circular economy where resources are kept from entering landfills.
10. Buy Products that can be Recycled: Typical printed wrapping paper is heavily processed and can't be recycled, but it is accepted in the green bin. Foil and plastic wrapping paper, on the other hand, must go to the landfill. Learn about and avoid buying products that can't be accepted in our green bin or recycling programs. See below for our holiday sorting list!
For some great eco-friendly gift wrap alternatives, click here!
11. Have a Plan: If you'll be hosting a holiday get-together, it's important to take stock of what you have, how much you'll need, and what to do with the leftovers. When this is done efficiently, it will save you time & money, and will help spare the earth's precious resources.
12. Be Resourceful: Save your scraps for things like making vegetable broth, helping a local farmer feed hungry livestock, or search for yummy recipes to make out of your leftovers. When these aren't an option, make sure you're composting all your food waste!

For as long as anyone could remember, the Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs had been the most feared gang in the city ― more terrifying than the Northeast Hustlers, more vicious than the Fancy Cats. Even the dreaded Los Hippopotamuses Locos were no match for them.
As they grew into middle-age, the Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs continued to rule the streets with brutal efficiency. But then one day, a new enemy invaded their turf, one that couldn't be beaten with fists and knives. That enemy was persistent urinary urgency.
Once word got out that the Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs could only hold it in for a few minutes at a time, the other gangs began challenging them to rumbles where there were no public restrooms or tall bushes nearby. And suddenly, the Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs didn't seem so tough.
That's when they decided to consult their physician, and he told them about STREAMINEX. Just one little pill, he explained, could help the gang control frequent urination for up to 24 hours.
Now the Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs are back in action! Sure, the gang occasionally experiences side effects like dizziness, nausea, inflammation of the toes and mild sexual dysfunction, but no one ever said life on the streets was easy.
the sixth-avenue insane thugs, man, those motherfuckers copyrighted pain. i, as well, have ground up and snorted a cornucopia of chewable tablets in my day, though none of which actually stopped things from coming out of my body. quite the contrary actually.
Thank you for your personal reflections. Coincidentally, my next story is tentatively titled "The Laxative Posse Rides Again."
i await it, sir, with baited breath and clenched bowels.
I understand, that before she became a famous singer, Urethra Franklin ran with the incontinent Sixth-Avenue Insane Thugs.


Estée Lauder is bringing an air of modern chic to the streets of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with an innovative new outdoor campaign.
The campaign features custom built Try, Vote & Sample Voucher Dispenser JCDecaux Innovate panels. The panels display two bottles of Estée Lauder's fragrances Modern Muse and new Modern Muse Chic.
The build prompts the passer-by to place their hand into the display box where a sensor detects their wrist. The bottle then spins around spraying a sample of the scent directly onto the wrist. Once the consumer has tried the fragrance they can vote for their favourite scent and then a voucher is dispensed.
The Citylights campaign and accompanying Innovate panels are live in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane until December 8. Innovate panels are located at Pitt Street Mall, Sydney, Melbourne Central Station, Melbourne and Queen Street Mall, Brisbane.


A term like juice cleansing has been recognized by those who are into healthy life these days. It is considered an efficient way to detox and get a healthier body. How do you do a juice cleanse? Some people still are not aware of it and therefore they must learn it right away! In a nutshell, a juice cleanse is not merely about eradicating bad substances out of the body, but it is also about the determination. It is because people need to have a strong will in order to get the best result from it.
Many people were disappointed with the result because they did not prepare it well. Here is the basic thing to pay attention regarding a juice cleansing. First, make sure to understand your habits in eating before deciding to conduct raw cleansing. It is as important as to decide how long you are going to do it. Usually, it requires a diet during the pre-cleanse process as it helps the body to prepare for dealing with any symptoms of detoxing later.
One of the reasons why many people failed to achieve a satisfying result in juice cleansing is that they could not deal with some issues that occur during the process. These include losing energy, diarrhea, aches, anxiety, and much more! It is a normal thing as the body needs to adjust to the condition during detoxing. So, how long does it take to make the preparation? According to experts, it takes about 5 days of dieting. Make sure to avoid some foods and drinks like milk, coffee, processed foods, alcohols, eggs, soda, and other similar products.
READ ALSO : Which is the best juicer?
The next thing to pay attention is related to the recipes. Many different types of juice recipes are good for detox, so it is better to spend some time to choose the right one for you. One of them becomes the star when it comes to detoxing, though. The name is ultimate green juice, consisting of numerous types of vegetables and fruits like parsley, kale, celery, green apples, and even ginger. It is a popular recipe as the juice gives the best nutrients during detoxing. However, many people do not like the taste, which is a little bit bitter.
For those who look for a fresher recipe during juice cleansing, they can choose garden green coco. As the name suggests, it contains mostly coconuts and some extras like spinach, green kale, and banana. What makes the recipe good, though? It contains both electrolytes and potassium so it is good to replenish energy during the diet. Not to mention it is fresh and tasty.
Overall, a juice cleanse is a good option for those who are into detoxing. The reason is that it is healthy, as it includes fresh ingredients like fruits and vegetables. The next reason is that many options of recipes are available to choose from. You can even make a new recipe based on your preferences! The only thing to pay attention is how prepared you are before conducting the juice cleanse. Thus, make sure to learn everything beforehand in order to avoid side effects and unwanted things later.

What to do in the Snowy Mountains if You Don't Ski
By Kate Barracosa
Go off-piste to find six Snowy Mountains experiences that will thrill you. Mountain high guaranteed.
Best time: June to September
Deep in Perisher back country, crooked snow gums twist out of the high snowdrifts, their gnarled limbs reaching for the sky. Though they're stripped of leaves in winter, the dusting of snow on their branches makes them a sight to behold – one you wouldn't have time to appreciate if you were whizzing past on skis. Tour company K7 Adventures runs guided snowshoeing trips throughout southern NSW's Snowy Mountains. Specially designed footwear stops trekkers from sinking into the snow as they cross vast expanses of white powder. Half-day journeys travel through barren alpine country peppered with rock tors, which look like crystal under the snow and ice. On a full-day hike, snowshoers can scale Mount Kosciuszko, where they're rewarded with clear blue skies and an incredible view. There's only one trick to it – don't walk backwards.
Best time: October to December
Australians have long been fascinated by the Snowy Mountains' "wild bush horses" – no doubt you learned the first stanza of Banjo Paterson's famous poem at school – and while only some of the residents at Thredbo Valley Horse Riding have brumby blood, all are sure-footed in the tricky terrain. As you weave through the mountains on bush trails atop sweet-natured Mimosa or cheeky Strawberry, you'll be experiencing country where incredible horsemen and women are made. Rides can be done privately or in groups and range from one hour to half a day. There's more than 1100 hectares of rugged sub-alpine wilderness to explore, including the heights of Crackenback Ridge, where you can gaze out at the striking peaks and valleys that stretch all the way to the horizon.
Best time: September to December
What better way to get to know the river that gives the region its name than by charging down its rapids on an inflatable red kayak? Alpine River Adventures hosts one- to 10-day whitewater rafting journeys on the rushing waters of the Snowy, Upper Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers. As you skim across the waves in your individual kayak, your guide will offer insights into the traditions and history of the Aboriginal people who call the region home. Temperatures can drop below zero in winter but there's a greater chance of seeing the animals that nest and feed along the rivers in July and August, including male platypuses, which can be spotted establishing their territory prior to mating season.
Best time: November to January
Cover more ground than you could on two feet by hopping on two wheels to explore the dense bushland that wraps the slopes of the Snowies. More than 25 kilometres of tracks are accessible from Lake Crackenback Resort and you don't need to be a guest. The trails wind through a rugged 60 hectares, along the Thredbo River and Lake Crackenback. You can tackle the trails solo using your own bicycle but the resort hires out bikes and e-bikes and also offers tours for all levels. For a memorable mountain ride, join a Kosciuszko Sunset Tour where you'll sip schnapps as you watch the sun dip behind the peaks of the Snowies. But first, you'll need to put in the pedal power. From Charlotte Pass, you'll ride an e-bike to Rawson Pass (elevation 2120 metres) then scale Mount Kosciuszko on foot for drinks with a view.
Hot-spring swimming
Best time: April to May
After a busy day on the bush trails, your aching muscles will appreciate a warm bath. Instead of secluding yourself in a hotel room, venture out into the chill to have a soak in the thermal pool – naturally heated to 27°C – at Kosciuszko National Park's Yarrangobilly area. In winter, you might have to brave temperatures as low as -5°C as you trek the 700 metres through fragrant eucalyptus forest to reach the 20-metre pool. But the opportunity to watch the snow sprinkle around you while you're immersed in the toasty emerald-green pool is worth it. Originally a warm-water creek, it was turned into a proper swimming spot at the tail end of the 19th century. Since then, it's been further upgraded with the installation of changing rooms, bathrooms and drinking water facilities.
Truffle foraging
Bet time: June to September
The Lagotto Romagnolo dogs at Macenmist Black Truffles and Wines might look cute but they have a very important job to do. Seven-year-old Fahren and two-year-old Tawdiffu have been through extensive training to learn how to sniff out the nubs of black Périgord truffle that grow on tree roots around the property in Bredbo, 100 kilometres from Jindabyne. The dogs' noses are so attuned to the fungus, they can even find truffles buried under thick snow. Foraging takes place in the chilly winter months, when the truffles are ripe. Luckily, the Snowy Mountains' season is longer than most, lasting from the first frosts in June until the September thaw. Join a morning hunt at Macenmist and you'll see the extensive process each truffle goes through, from discovery to extraction, cleaning and grading. Then you can enjoy the finished product, grated into a soul-warming soup.

You might have heard about "the Ohio miracle," when freshman Lauren Hill got her dying wish to play in a college basketball game. But did you know that her fairy godmothers were a bunch of young ladies she didn't know?
Sometimes life is ugly and unfair.
Lauren Hill was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. She was about to start college.
Her dream was to play in a college game.
She felt like a superhero when she put on that jersey.
As the Mount St. Joseph University freshman practiced with the team leading up to the game, her condition got worse.
Her coach worried that she wouldn't be well enough to travel from Cincinnati to Hiram College (near Cleveland) for their first game — let alone play.
Hiram College's Lady Terriers offered to switch the game location.
They ceded their home court advantage to play in a sold-out stadium full of Lauren's supporters. They also moved the game up two weeks.
The Mount St. Joseph team treated the Hiram players to dinner the night before the game and got to know them. When the tipoff came, everyone was rooting for Lauren.
Even after "the shot heard round the world," the spirit of camaraderie and support continued.
Even their coach was impressed with their genuine caring and the kindness on the court that day.
Lauren is a brave and dedicated young woman. But she couldn't get her wish on her own. It took a dozen or so young women who should have been her rivals to grant it.
And that's what college sports should be about.


I really hate when people tell me what my disease is doing when I live in this rotten body and know how it feels -- I didn't get my information from a textbook to tell me how I feel. I listen to my body, I can feel the pain and new problems, I can even recognize that "feeling" I get when I am attack-y. It really irritates me when people tell me that what I am feeling could not possibly be an attack because ______. When my neurologist told me that because I'm on Tysabri I couldn't possibly be having an attack, I told her, in no uncertain terms, that my fellow MSer friends on the web, who are also on Tysabri, are going through attacks of their own. I didn't think her eyebrows could get much higher, but they did. They joined her hair line for a few seconds before she could back peddle and tell me that it is possible to have attacks on Tysabri. I gave her all the information I could about how my body is feeling, I even told her the most pertinent piece of information: I've had to switch from crunchy to smooth peanut butter. But that failed to impress her, not realizing that I am a die hard crunchy peanut butter girl. They drew my blood again (to see if I had developed antibodies to Tysabri), they made me pee in a little cup again, and they checked all my body parts (and some I didn't even know I had) to make sure I didn't have an infection somewhere unbeknownst to me. They have a new director of the MS clinic I go to, so she came in to give me some unwanted and unneeded information. She told me that they couldn't possibly give me Percocet or Vicodin for the pain. I never take that kind of stuff and thought she must be talking to someone behind me; I even turned around to see who she was talking to only to find out she knew nothing about me because I try to take the least amount of medicine and never want addiction-risking drugs. If she had even glanced at my file she would have known that. My neurologist knows that I won't take too many pills or take any thing that might make me more tired or risk getting dependent on. But not the new god of the MS clinic. She sailed in, made me repeat all the things my neurologist just had me do, then sat down to tell me what my MS is and is not. When she went on and on about what I am feeling, I closed my ears. I know what I am feeling. I don't need someone to try and talk me out of it or minimize the pain and new symptoms I'm having -- go back to your textbooks, Cat Box Breath Doctor Of Redundancy, and dig a little deeper. I may not be a doctor but I know my body. It made me miss my old neurologist that moved to Florida a year ago. He respected my knowledge of my own body and knew that we are the experts of our bodies and know what is wrong and what has changed. He never tried to tell me what I am feeling. I wanted to tell her majesty that she didn't need a push up bra because it only made her look like an overloaded ship plowing through the waters and when your cleavage starts half a millimeter below your neck, maybe you should use a little less padding in your brassiere. Or wear a shirt that isn't so low cut the lacy edges of your bra show over it. And you don't need 5 rings on every finger. It doesn't make you look classy or rich, just tacky. She had obviously never heard the "less is more" rule of thumb about cleavage or jewelry. Everybody was awed by her and bowed to her knowledge of MS, I even saw my neurologist nodding along with the things she was saying -- expect the pain meds part, she knows me better than that. I wanted to like her and find that she could give me new information that would help me, but when she tried to tell me what I'm feeling that all went away and I decided I couldn't possibly like her. But I may still give her some mouthwash and a toothbrush for Christmas. I'm nice like that.
I was having an acute attack a few years ago (coinciding with the loss of my job and complete mental meltdown.) I was in a clinical trial at a respectable hospital, with a medical coordinator who was supposedly the best in this area. I was freaking out because I was having trouble swallowing. This neuro told me straight to my face that that was not possible, and only those with further advanced MS would have such a problem. He told me to take more Neurontin (although what I was already taking was zonking me.) Then and there I switched to another neuro (recommended by one of my MS buddies) and he set me straight, telling me it was where my lesions were located, not how long I had had the disease. And I was in fact having a new attack, which he aggressively treated.
So if you have that "attacky" feeling, trust yourself and maybe get another opinion.
So sorry about that. Sounds like the last thing you needed.
First of all, let me say that you are a fabulous writer.
I completely empathize with you as I too have MS and I have been the rounds with the MS Society and the neurologists trying to get them to listen to sound science instead of continuing to blindly propogate the myths that have been shoved at them. I started researching MS in 1993 to find answers for myself as the MS Society and doctors weren't offering anything that had any kind of beneficial effect. Yes the drugs they offered had effect but they all feel in the adverse effects category.
I developed a treatment that I named Prokarin and I have been using it for 11 years (12 years in Feb 09). The Prokarin has alleviated all of my symptoms of MS and I have remained symptom free for 11 years. If I don't take the Prokarin my symptoms come back but within 20 minutes of putting the Prokarin patch back on all of my symptoms go away.
The Prokarin patch does have one side effect though, if you don't get the patch sealed tight from air, it can cause a severe itch and irritation under the patch. Recently one pharmacy has developed a Prokarin disc that is smaller than a dime that you simply peel off a piece of paper and stick it on your skin and wear it from morning until bedtime. The Prokarin disc doesn't cause any skin irritation. The pharmacy that makes the Prokarin disc will give you the first month free so you can see if it will work for you. The pharmacy is Custom Prescription Shoppe and their phone number is 1-866-751-7004.
The best indicator as to whether Prokarin will benefit you is if you are heat sensitive. This of course is the most classical symptom that defines MS from other similar neurological conditions. The more heat sensitive a person is, the better they respond to Prokarin.

Leach Highway congestion predictions deal blow to attempted Roe 8 and 9 revival
By Nathan Hondros
August 14, 2019 — 8.14am
A nationwide audit of road congestion is predicting no worse than moderate congestion on Leach Highway by 2031, a finding which could undermine the case to revive the controversial Roe 8 and 9 road projects.
WA opposition leader Liza Harvey put the road back on the political agenda last month with a promise to make it part her campaign at the next election.

But Transport Minister Rita Saffioti has insisted the government's efforts to reduce the volume of freight bourne by truck along Leach Highway had been a success.
Road congestion modelling released by Infrastructure Australia (IA) this week shows only low to moderate traffic build-up on the road between the Kwinana Freeway and Stirling Highway.
The road did not make IA's list of the top 10 most congested roads, but road users reported being delayed between 8 and 9 minutes due to congestion on the road in 2016.
It is understood the 2031 modelling did not factor in a number of projects which would also alleviate congestion in the southern suburbs and Leach Highway, such as the $230 million Fremantle Traffic Bridge, the Leach Highway/Welshpool Road grade separation, and $795 million in Tonkin Highway upgrades.
The outlook for congestion on the road had improved from 2015 when the Roe 8 and 9 projects were included in long-term congestion forecasts.

Ms Saffioti urged the opposition to read the IA report, which she labelled an embarrassment for the party because it could be read as showing the previous government's infrastructure plans would have made congestion worse.
"In 2015 Roe 8 and 9 was part of the analysis and we were the worst in the nation," she said.
"Now the 2019 report, because we're doing all the investment in the priority corridors IA has identified, we've actually improved significantly.
"I'll make that point very clearly, the 2015 analysis, where we were the worst in the nation and identified massive issues in relation to key corridors like the Freeway, we were the worst in the nation."
Opposition transport spokeswoman Libby Mettam said congestion would be improved in the southern suburbs by reviving the Roe 8 and 9 projects and accused the government of "putting its foot on the hose of job creating projects".
"What we know is that the congestion in the South West metro suburbs is 20 per cent above the metropolitan average in the afternoons," she said.
"This is one way the McGowan Government could significantly address congestion for the commuters in that area.
"I would remind the minister that there's currently $1.2 billion on the table from the federal government, it's a project which would create 10,000 jobs and address congestion in the east-west corridor for the south metro area."
Despite increases in container volumes at Fremantle Port, traffic speeds and congestion has improved since 2017.

Main Roads data has revealed morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volumes on Leach Highway to and from the port dropped by about 5.7 per cent between 2016 and 2018.
It is understood recent Main Roads studies have shown truck traffic along Leach Highway has fallen to levels similar to those recorded a decade ago.
The state government introduced a subsidy for freight arriving at Fremantle Port by rail, which has increased the percentage of containers arriving by train from 11 per cent in 2009-10 to 22.8 per cent in March, 2019.
This is the equivalent to 9300 one-way truck trip movements off the road network, according to government calculations.

Worries Greek debt needs further restructuring helps send TSX lower for 3rd day
Malcolm Morrison, The Canadian Press July 24, 2012
TORONTO – The Toronto stock market closed lower for a third session Tuesday as worries about the future of the eurozone discouraged buyers.
A report that Greece will have do yet another restructuring of its debt added to concerns about whether higher borrowing costs for Spain are a precursor to the country seeking a bailout and an unsettling downgrade by Moody's Investor Services.
The S&P/TSX composite index slid 78.59 points to 11,466.95 amid a positive report from Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B). The TSX Venture Exchange was down 7.69 points to 1,166.47.
The Canadian dollar ticked 0.35 of a cent lower to 98 cents US as nervous investors piled into U.S. Treasuries. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury went as low as 1.4 per cent.
"It's still a matter of risk-on, risk-off," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier.
"Sometimes you feel regulatory officials and companies are handling these challenging times quite well and other times you feel scared. There is no better gauge than looking at U.S. 10-year bond yields, which have hit an all time low."
Apple Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL) shares plunged nearly six per cent in after-hours trading following its post-market close report that third-quarter earnings per share were US$9.32, missing analysts' expectations of US$10.37 by a full dollar. Revenues were $35 billion, while analysts expected $37 billion on lower iPhone sales.
Weak earnings reports from DuPont and United Parcel Services also pressured U.S. markets. But indexes closed off the worst levels of the session after the Wall Street Journal said the U.S. Federal Reserve is moving closer to applying further stimulus measures to support the economy.
The Dow Jones industrials dropped 104.14 points to 12,617.32.
The Nasdaq composite index was off 27.16 points to 2,862.99 and the S&P 500 index lost 12.21 points to 1,338.31.
Stocks were negative on worries that Spain may need a full-blown sovereign bailout. The country has been mired in recession and its banks are saddled with billions of euros in toxic loans arising from a collapsed real estate market.
"The rain in Spain comes back again," added Nakamoto.
Confidence about Spain's ability to deal with its finances has taken a beating, with the country forced to pay ever higher yields in order to finance its debt. The yield on its benchmark 10-year bond surged well past the seven per cent mark Monday, a level considered unsustainable.
The yield on the country's 10-year bonds was up another 0.11 percentage points Tuesday at 7.54 per cent, while the IBEX 35 stock index in Madrid was 3.6 per cent lower.
Losses on North American markets picked up amid media reports that three EU officials believe Greece will have to restructure some €200 billion in debt, which would place more strain on the European Central Bank and the other 16 eurozone countries.
The report surfaced a day before representatives of Greece's creditors are due in Athens for weeks of talks ahead of their next report on Greece's austerity program, on which continued payment of bailout money hinges. Greece depends on rescue loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund to keep paying for vital public services and servicing its loans.
Adding to market pessimism was a move by Moody's Investor Services late Monday to lower the outlook on Germany's AAA rating to negative from stable due to mounting uncertainties from the eurozone debt crisis.
Moody's also downgraded the outlooks on the Netherlands and Luxembourg and affirmed Finland's AAA rating.
The agency noted that the cost of supporting Italy and Spain in the eurozone would fall most heavily on better rated members "if the euro area is to be preserved in its current form."
Moody's also said there was an "increased likelihood" that Greece would leave Europe's monetary union.
The telecom sector led TSX advancers, up 1.44 per cent even as Rogers Communications Inc. reported net income declined 2.4 per cent to $400 million, or 75 cents per share. But adjusted earnings of $478 million, or 91 cents per share beat estimates by five cents. Revenue was $3.11 billion, up slightly from $3.1 billion in the comparable period, but below expectations of $3.14 billion. But its shares jumped $1.77 to $39.01. Elsewhere in the sector, BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE) gained 49 cents to $41.79.
Commodities were mixed Tuesday after demand worries and a rising American currency impacted prices for oil and metals on Monday.
The gold sector was ahead slightly with the August bullion contract closing down $1.20 at US$1,576.20 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) edged up 19 cents to C$33.66 .
The energy sector fell 1.84 per cent while the September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange shook off early losses to gain 36 cents to US$88.50 after plunging almost $4. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) lost $1.11 to C$27.67.
Husky Energy Inc. says weaker commodity prices helped pull second-quarter net earnings down to $431 million, or 43 cents per share, from $591 million, or 60 cents per share, a year ago. Its shares lost early momentum and declined 28 cents to $24.84.
The base metals sector slipped almost one per cent with copper prices off three cents at US$3.35 a pound after falling seven cents on Monday. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) declined 39 cents to $29.41 while Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN) gave back 27 cents to $8.10.
The financial sector dropped 0.85 per cent with Royal Bank (TSX:RY) down 70 cents to $50.82.

Over the past two seasons (2021-22), he has finished toward the top of the respective league wicket charts (Southern Premier League, and Leicestershire League).
Whilst his UK batting numbers are perhaps below his expectations, he has still produced several match winnings knocks, including a brilliant 98 in a T20.
At home, Greig plays for the famous Claremont Cricket Club, which has played home in recent years to several English players, including County legend Darren Stevens (Kent).
Playing in the Western Province Premier League, he currently sits narrowly outside the top 10 wicket-takers this summer, with best figures of 7-26 against a side including Gloucestershire batter Chris Dent.
Greig is an exciting, and highly energetic cricketer who feels ideally suited to the white format of the game. Those in the know feel he has what it takes to not only excel in Premier cricket but take the next step up to play County level. Not only a fine player but a leader-of-men, who has shown his tremendous leadership potential by skippering Clacton during his second stint with the EAPL club in 2019.
The dual Passport holding tweaker is seeking a UK return in 2023 and aspires to not only play club cricket but pursue County opportunities.
Harlan is an exciting, energetic cricketer suited for the limited overs cricket, with the goal of playing a lot of white ball county cricket this season. He is an asset to any side and contributes in all 3 aspects of the game. He has great leadership qualities, and this shows from being awarded the captaincy in his second season at Clacton on Sea. Harlan is a friendly, heartwarming person off the field and hopes to leave a good impression where ever he goes!

Norwegian toxic whale meat, banned even by the Japanese government
Posted on March 23, 2015 by petrel41
This 2010 video from Australia is called Swimming with Dwarf minke whales on board Eye to Eye Marine Encounters (Sunday Night Program).
From daily The Guardian in Britain:
Japan refuses Norway's toxic whale meat
Pesticides identified in a shipment of minke meat put the spotlight on Norwegian whaling
Emma Bryce
Monday 23 March 2015 11.14 GMT
Whale meat just became even less appetizing. Conservation groups have revealed that Norwegian exports of minke whale to Japan contained damaging levels of toxic pesticides, making that meat unfit for human consumption. It's a discovery that could cue a swifter decline in the appetite for whale.
The news emerged this month, when the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) revealed documents showing that the Japanese government rejected imports of Norwegian whale meat because tests showed samples contained pesticides at twice the limit Japan imposes on its imports. The meat harboured chemicals such as aldrin, dieldrin, and chlordane, thought to play a role in causing birth defects, neurological harm, and some cancers if humans consume them in high quantities.
Norway continues to run a large scale whaling industry—the country took a record catch of 736 minke whales in 2014—but surprisingly, it doesn't exist for Norwegians. "Fewer than five percent [of Norwegians] eat whale meat regularly," says Kate O'Connell, a marine wildlife consultant from the AWI, explaining that they see it as old-fashioned fare.
By comparison, Japan is a much bigger market. "Japan has always been the main consumer of whale products," says Clare Perry, the head of the EIA's oceans campaign. But even there, it's losing its appeal. "It's not fashionable at all. There's an older generation in Japan that have a nostalgia about eating it, but it's not in any way a staple diet," she says. Nevertheless, a chunk of the Norwegian catch is still exported there annually: 137 tonnes of Norwegian minke have entered Japan in the last two years.
Proof of pesticide poisoning may somewhat sour that appetite, something that even a global hunting ban hasn't been able to quash. There are three remaining countries that continue to hunt and eat whale—Norway, Japan, and Iceland—and each one ignores the worldwide ruling against this activity.
In 1982 the International Whaling Commission completely outlawed commercial whale hunting. "That applies to all countries that are members of the IWC. Japan, Norway, and Iceland are all members of the IWC," Perry emphasizes. The Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) also bans the trade in minke meat to protect the species, which isn't endangered but has experienced a dramatic population dive since whaling began. "There's concern over whether the hunt is sustainable," Perry notes. (Norway insists that it is, which explains why it still awards itself an annual catch quota of more than 1000 whales, one the IWC doesn't acknowledge.)
When the international moratorium came into force in the 80s, Norway objected to it, which afforded the country a legal loophole that allows it to continue the hunt while maintaining its IWC membership. Norway, Iceland, and Japan also reject the CITES ban, a move that technically permits them to continue with the trade. "From our perspective Norway should be abiding by those treaties," Perry says.
Until that happens, it seems like pesticide contamination is the whales' best defence—though it's also bound to harm the whales. The chemicals identified in the minkes' meat are agriculture products that would most likely have entered the ocean via agricultural run-off. Some of the pesticides, like dieldrin and chlordane, have been banned in the European Union and the United States because of their toxic effects. Because they're persistent pollutants, however, they've lingered in the ocean. By entering the food chain and bioaccumulating within it, the chemicals eventually find their way into the bodies of larger mammals like whales. "If we think it's potentially dangerous for us to eat, you can imagine it's not particularly healthy for a whale," Perry says.
As Norway's appetite for the meat dwindles, it continues to pursue markets elsewhere for its whales. But that may grow more challenging, especially since the recent meat scare isn't the first the country has caused. In fact, in the past, shipments of Norwegian whale meat have been found to be infested with bacteria and also to contain potentially dangerous levels of mercury.
Within Norway, there are ongoing efforts to try and revive the meat's appeal, and there are even generous government subsidies in place to try and support the industry and keep this historical practice alive. "It is clear, however, that without an export market, the Norwegian whaling industry will continue to struggle," O'Connell says.
In that sense, perhaps for whales the pesticides are a morbid kind of defence against the minority that still has a taste for their meat.

AirDefense and MetaGeek aim analysis tools at wider audiences.
Eager to catch the wave of 802.11n wireless network upgrades and rollouts presumably on the way, wireless LAN tools vendors are tuning up their products and platforms with an eye toward making high-end wireless planning technologies such as spectrum analysis available to a wider range of customers.
To this end, AirDefense recently added SA (spectrum analysis) capabilities to its AirDefense Enterprise 7.3 solution, and MetaGeek significantly improved its low-cost, laptop-based spectrum analyzer Chanalyzer.
SA helps administrators find non-Wi-Fi sources of interference in the unlicensed 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectra.
Many non-Wi-Fi devices, such as cordless phones and Bluetooth devices, operate in those frequencies, often using different modulation schemes. Too many transmitters in the same airspace can lead to interference, resulting in service interruptions or signal degradation for the Wi-Fi network.
eWEEK Labs evaluates the coming WLAN tools wave. Click here to see what they found.
Spectrum analyzers provide the insight into the physical layer of wireless networking needed to help identify and eradicate those sources of interference.
During my tests of the two wireless analysis tools, I was impressed to see the steps that AirDefense and MetaGeek have taken to put their utilities within reach of a wider array of organizations.
I recommend that administrators evaluate these offerings as they prepare to take on 802.11n.

What I really appreciated about his book was that it made me examine how my habits work and how I might be able to change them. I started looking at the various triggers in my life that lead to certain habits and, ultimately, rewards (examples: when I get home, I immediately change into my workout clothes; when my bedtime alarm goes off, I wrap up what I'm doing to brush my teeth; when I arrive at the train station in the morning, I go get coffee – this is a terrible habit, by the way – don't do this). Right now, I'm working on developing a daily writing habit.
My physical agenda/daily planner where I add check boxes for each of the daily habits I'm trying to keep (writing, exercise, etc).
Apps on my phone that I'm testing out: ToDoist (this is more like a daily checklist, but I'm really enjoying it), Productive, and Momentum.
There are other habit tracking apps, so I recommend trying them out to see what works best for you. Both Productive and Momentum have a three habit maximum for their free versions, so I use both.
I hope this helps you as much as it's helping me in the quest to develop life-hacking habits!

Sarah Jessica Parker Says NYC is 4th Character for 'Sex and The City'
Written by TMZ
Sarah Jessica Parker says the "Sex and The City" reboot isn't looking for a 4th character to replace Kim Cattrall … instead, the show's taking advantage of all the city has to offer.
SJP says replacing Kim, who played Samantha Jones in the original series, isn't as black and white as bringing in a new main character … telling Adam Glyn the show plans to have NYC make it a party of four.
As you know … Kim's made it crystal clear she's not down for reboots, revivals or anything else.
The way Sarah explains it … there will be lots of interesting and exciting new characters sprinkled in. The Big Apple's a big town, after all.
'Sex and The City' is getting revived on HBO Max, under the new title, "And Just Like That," and Sarah says they're still a ways away from shooting … sounds like they're waiting to see what happens with the COVID-19 vaccine before getting in front of cameras.
It's really interesting to see Sarah talk about the show's return … and she also reveals what she's looking forward to most.
