W&J Early Acceptance Program with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM)
Washington & Jefferson College has a formal agreement with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) for students who plan to pursue health professional careers following graduation. W&J participates in an early acceptance program with LECOM Medical College, LECOM School of Pharmacy, and LECOM School of Dental Medicine.
This agreement establishes an Early Acceptance Program to which Washington & Jefferson undergraduate students are enrolled jointly by Washington & Jefferson and by LECOM. The Early Acceptance Program is designed to facilitate the admission of Washington & Jefferson students into LECOM's Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Dental Medicine programs.
LECOM will interview students prior to their enrollment at Washington & Jefferson College or within the first two years of study at Washington & Jefferson. Students interviewing successfully will be offered a provisional acceptance to LECOM. Upon meeting the criteria for final acceptance during their time at W&J, they will matriculate at the LECOM campus appropriate to their specific program. Note that students accepted into the osteopathic medicine program will not be required to take the MCAT.
Application to the EAP is initiated by doing an inquiry through a link on the LECOM portal (http://portal.lecom.edu).
Applicants wishing to be notified that they are qualified to receive their letter of provisional acceptance prior to entering Washington & Jefferson College should complete the LECOM online EAP application by April 1 of the year of Washington & Jefferson College matriculation.
High school students should contact the Washington & Jefferson College Committee on Health Professions for their EAP enrollment requirements.
Washington & Jefferson College students applying to enroll in the EAP should complete the LECOM online EAP application before starting their third year of study at Washington & Jefferson.
Additional application information, and information about LECOM programs, are available on the LECOM Entrance Requirements web page.
W&J Medical Scholars Program With the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University
Through the W&J / Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM) at Temple University Medical Scholars Program, LKSOM will reserve a limited number of medical school spaces for qualified incoming W&J freshmen each year. Students apply for acceptance to this 8-year joint BA/MD program prior to the start of their freshman year during the application process to W&J. United States citizens and permanent residents can apply. To be considered, a student must:
Be accepted to W&J,
Submit an application to the Medical Scholars Program by December 10,
Have a combined SAT critical reading + math score of greater than 1350, with no score in verbal, math, or writing below 600, OR have an ACT Composite score of 31 or higher,
Be in the top 5% of his or her high school class if class rank is provided,
Have an interview with the Pre-Health Professions Committee at W&J, and
Have an interview with a member of the Admission Committee at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University.
Substantial science coursework and completion of AP science coursework are looked upon favorably in the application process. Students who are accepted into the Medical Scholars program would subsequently be accepted into LKSOM if their overall undergraduate GPA and science GPA (biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics) at W&J are at least 3.6 averaged over the first 3 years with no grade less than "B-" and without repeating a course. All prerequisite courses for admission to medical school must be completed at W&J.
The minimum acceptable MCAT score (taken by May of the junior year) requires scoring 509 overall with no individual section score lower than 126. Students must also complete 50 hours of medically-related shadowing and/or experiences, 50 hours of community service activities, and demonstrate commitment to serving others through extracurricular activities.
The candidate must apply to the Lewis Katz School of Medicine during the summer preceding his or her senior year at W&J using the "Combined Bachelors/Medical Degree" designation on the American Association of Medical Colleges Application Service (AMCAS). Note that this is a "restricted" application type, meaning that a student who chooses to use the "guaranteed" seat with Temple cannot apply to other medical schools. If a student chooses to apply to other schools, the guaranteed seat must be relinquished, but application to Temple may still be done through the regular medical school admissions process.
Application Process: Students should send in their W&J College application as soon as possible, preferably early in the Fall. Students should be sure to choose "Pre-Health (Pre-Allopathic Medicine)" under the Pre-Professional Programs field. Note also that because Temple requires a particular level of performance on the SAT/ACT exam, students MUST elect to submit their SAT/ACT scores to W&J (i.e., students interested in applying for the Temple Medical Scholars Program are not eligible to use the SAT/ACT Score Optional policy).
Students that meet the SAT/ACT and other criteria listed will be sent information about the Medical Scholars program, including an application for the program. Typically, information is sent out to eligible candidates about once per month until late November. IMPORTANT: If you do not get your fully complete W&J application submitted by the end of November, you will likely not be considered for the program.
The Medical Scholars application is due back to the Admissions Office at W&J by December 10. These applications, along with the W&J applications, will be reviewed to select a smaller number of individuals who will be phone interviewed by members of the W&J Pre-Health Professions Committee. Once W&J interviews these candidates, we will send an interview report along with your W&J and Medical Scholars applications to LKSOM, who will then determine which candidates will be invited for an interview in Philadelphia. The decisions on which students are accepted to the Medical Scholars Program are made by LSKOM.
More information about this program can be found on the Lewis Katz School of Medicine Special Admissions Programs website.
An Early Assurance Program With the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and Washington & Jefferson College
Junior students who matriculated at W&J as first semester freshmen (those who did not transfer into W&J) are eligible for consideration as candidates for the Early Assurance Program with the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. To be considered as a viable candidate for the program interested students must have completed 2 semester courses each in general chemistry (CHM 260 & CHM 270), organic chemistry (CHM 160 & CHM 170), and general biology (BIO 121 & BIO 131), be in good standing, and be pursuing an approved major at W&J. By the end of the third year, they must have completed 2 semester courses in biology (BIO 121 & 131), 4 semester courses in chemistry (CHM 160, 170, 260, & 270), 2 semester courses in physics (PHY 101 & 102 or PHY 107 & 108), and 2 courses in mathematics (MTH 151 & 152 or MTH 151 & 225). The minimum undergraduate science GPA (biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics) and overall GPA at W&J must be 3.5 averaged over the first 3 years with no grade less than "B-". Students must also complete 50 hours of medically-related shadowing and/or experiences, 50 hours of community service activities, and demonstrate commitment to serving others through extracurricular activities. The minimum GPA for the fourth undergraduate academic year at W&J must be at least 3.0 with no grade less than "B-."
The minimum acceptable MCAT score (taken by May of the junior year) requires scoring 509 overall with no individual section score lower than 126. The candidate must apply to the Lewis Katz School of Medicine during the summer preceding the senior year at W&J using the Early Assurance Program Option of the American Association of Medical Colleges Application Service (AMCAS).

The 3+4 W&J and Jefferson University Integrated Program in Human Health
The mission of the seven-year BA/MD W&J2 Integrated Program in Human Health between W&J and the Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC) at Jefferson University is to produce physicians with a holistic understanding of the human condition, grounded in the liberal arts with a strong proficiency in the natural sciences, who are dedicated to life-long learning, capable of self-reflection and integrative thinking, and who can care for patients in the context of their family, community, and society. To be eligible for the program, at the time of entry to W&J students must have a minimum composite SAT score (Critical Reading and Mathematics) of 1200 with no score in either section less than 600, or a minimum composite ACT score (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) of 26 with no score in any section less than 24. Only students who major in a discipline outside of the natural sciences may apply to this program.
Up to four promising students from W&J will be nominated by W&J faculty at the beginning of the second regular semester of their second year at W&J on the basis of academic performance, career goals, preparation, and citizenship. On approval by SKMC admissions faculty, students will complete an undergraduate curriculum that maps to the medical school entry competencies, while assuring a balanced liberal arts background to include a major in a discipline outside of the natural sciences. Students will be provided the opportunity to transfer to SKMC following successful completion of Year 3 at W&J contingent on continued satisfactory academic progress and responsible citizenship. Course credits completed during the first year at SKMC will be applied to satisfy degree requirements at W&J at which point the BA degree will be awarded by W&J. Summer sessions will be used to provide the opportunity for course work at W&J, as well as early clinical exposure and research experience that may be facilitated by SKMC. The MD degree will be granted by SKMC upon successful completion of Year 4 of medical school. Questions about the W&J2 program may be addressed to Dr. Steven Malinak at smalinak@washjeff.edu.

Information about the MOT program at Chatham University can be found at the Chatham MOT website. It is highly recommended that students interested in Chatham's OT program meet with a faculty member from Chatham during their sophomore or junior year.
Articulation Agreement in Optometry with Salus University (Pennsylvania College of Optometry)
Washington & Jefferson College has a formal agreement with the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University for students who are interested in pursuing an optometry education. For students applying to Salus through the traditional application process, the W&J Committee on Health Professions will often provide a supplemental letter of recommendation that is the result of an interview by Committee members with the student who is applying.
Additionally, an accelerated program for students with an interest in optometry has been established by Salus University. The program permits a student to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree and the Doctor of Optometry degree in seven years instead of the usual eight. The first three years are spent at Washington & Jefferson College as an undergraduate student, while the next four years are spent at Salus University in the optometry program. The student is awarded a Bachelor's degree in his or her chosen major at W&J upon the successful completion of the first professional year at Salus and a Doctor of Optometry degree by Salus University at the conclusion of the professional degree program. This means that students leave W&J after their third year without their Bachelor's Degree. Selected courses from Salus then transfer back to W&J to allow the student to obtain the Bachelor's Degree. Typically, this approach requires substantial planning before the student arrives at W&J to determine whether a plan of coursework can be completed in three years at W&J to fulfill a majority of the College and major requirements. Our experience tells us that this plan works most easily with majors in Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.
Further information about the Salus 3-4 Optometry program can be found on the Salus website. Additionally, students may email the Chair of the Committee on Health Professions at W&J to discuss this option. General comments about 3-4 options are also described in the Pre Health Handbook.

Terror Attacks in Europe Drive NATO Closer to Israel - Amir Oren (Ha'aretz)
At NATO headquarters in Brussels on Sunday, the British flag flew at half-mast in mourning over the attacks in London and Manchester.
The attacks by the Islamic State in Western Europe are spurring NATO to draw on Israel's experience with counter-terrorism.
Israel's defense establishment has noted increasing interest by NATO in cooperation with the IDF in the areas of counter-terrorism, defending borders, and home front security.
2018 is expected to see a renewal of Israel Navy craft participation in NATO patrols against terror and the smuggling of war materiel in the Mediterranean, which had been frozen due to tension with Turkey.
Turkey: Activists Killed in 2010 Flotilla Incident "Should Have Foreseen...the Risk" - Sevil Erkus (Hurriyet-Turkey)
Compensation worth $20 million provided by Israel over the killing of Turkish activists onboard the Mavi Marmara in May 2010 has yet to be paid.
The Turkish Finance Ministry told a court that it "rejected the exorbitant amount of material and moral compensation asked" by the families.
The ministry said the victims "should have foreseen that they may be subject to such an attack because the problems between the Israeli state and Gaza are well-known. They took the risk of any attack or intervention."

Syria continued to shell Israel from the Golan Heights in the north.
The Israeli army sought to stop Syrian shelling of Israeli civilians once and for all and took control of the Golan Heights to prevent Syria from targeting communities in northern Israel.
Palestinian Man Donates Recovery Room to Haifa Hospital - Ilana Messika (TPS-Ynet News)
A senior Palestinian official who underwent cancer treatment at Rambam Hospital in Haifa has donated tens of thousands of shekels to support improved treatment of childhood cancers and Israeli-Palestinian medical cooperation.
"Palestinian, Israeli, Syrian and children from other countries receive treatment in the hospital for a variety of serious illnesses and need all the help they can get. I decided to contribute as much as I could, both as a humanitarian act and as a symbol of solidarity," said M., who would not reveal his identity.
M. underwrote the establishment of a children's recovery room to provide a supportive environment for children before and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.
Some 1,200 Palestinian children and adults from the PA and Gaza visit the hospital every year for cancer treatment.
Palestinians Confuse Movie Set for New Outpost - Elior Levy and Elisha Ben-Kimon (Ynet News)
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on a new Israeli outpost being built near Deir Istiya in the Samaria region of the West Bank.
Yet the "outpost" was actually a temporary set for a movie featuring children's star Yuval Shemtov, known as "Yuval the Confused."
Israel Urges UN to Designate Hamas as Terror Group after Tunnel Found under Gaza Schools
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon on Friday urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to designate the Palestinian movement Hamas as a terrorist organization after it was revealed that Hamas had built a tunnel beneath two UNRWA schools. "It is of the utmost importance that the Council ensures that all UN-affiliated agencies, and especially UNRWA, remain neutral and safeguarded from abuse by terrorist organizations," he wrote in a letter to the UNSC. "Our reports of Hamas' military buildup and use of children in military campaigns have fallen on deaf ears. This time, the international community must not turn a blind eye toward such cynical exploitation." (Sputnik-Russia)

UNRWA, the UN aid agency that helps Palestinians in Gaza, on Friday condemned the territory's Hamas rulers after discovering a tunnel running under two of its schools. UNRWA said it "condemns the existence of such tunnels in the strongest possible terms," adding that it "robustly intervened and protested to Hamas." The agency said it is sealing the tunnel under its premises and will ban students and staff from the building until the issue is resolved. (AP-Washington Post)
Red Cross on Missing Israelis: Hamas Must Abide by International Humanitarian Law
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Thursday urged Hamas authorities to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law with regard to five Israeli nationals who went missing in Gaza. "Persons captured alive must be accounted for and treated humanely. Human remains, too, must be handled with dignity, identified and returned to the families concerned," said Jacques de Maio, the head of the ICRC delegation in Israel. Intentionally withholding information about missing persons is acting in violation of humanitarian law.
Hamas is thought to hold three Israelis who entered Gaza illegally as well as the remains of two soldiers killed in fighting in 2014. (International Committee of the Red Cross-Times of Israel)

Netanyahu: "The Time Has Come to Disband UNRWA" - Herb Keinon
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to a Hamas tunnel discovered earlier this month under two UNRWA schools in Gaza, told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday that he told visiting U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley that "the time has come for the UN to reconsider the continued existence of UNRWA." He said the UN has a refugee agency, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which has dealt since World War II with millions of refugees around the world. Palestinians have their own separate agency, UNRWA, which also incites against Israel.
"I regret that UNRWA, to a large degree, by its very existence, perpetuates...the Palestinian refugee problem," he said. "Therefore, the time has come to disband UNRWA and integrate it into the UNHCR." (Jerusalem Post)
Israel to Reduce Gaza Electricity Supply at Palestinian President's Request - Barak Ravid and Amos Harel

Israeli Arabs Charged in Hamas Plot to Kill IDF Soldier - Anna Ahronheim
Three Israeli Arab residents of Jaljulya were charged Thursday with a plot to kill an Israeli army officer, the Israel Security Agency said Thursday. Security services had detained seven residents on suspicion of weapons trafficking, and the investigation revealed that brothers Adam and Fares Faqi were planning an attack. Adam Faqi had been recruited into Hamas by another brother, Muhammad, while in Gaza for a family wedding in 2014 and underwent small-arms training. (Jerusalem Post)
How the Jewish Vote May Have Helped Decide the UK Election - Yair Rosenberg
The British election on Thursday resulted in a hung parliament with no party garnering a majority but the Conservatives remaining the largest party. A coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland (DUP), which won 10 seats, would provide the Conservatives, who won 318 seats, with a governing majority in the 650-member Parliament.
A key factor in enabling the Conservatives to cling to power may have been Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's alienation of the Jewish vote. Pre-election polling found that just 13% of British Jews planned to vote for Labour, largely due to concerns about Corbyn, whose associations with anti-Semites rattled many. This ultimately came back to haunt Corbyn, as Labour lost the so-called London "Bagel Belt" - even as the rest of the capital swung Labour - preventing the party from taking enough seats to deny May a coalition majority with the DUP.

Prime Minister Theresa May announced that she will be forming a government with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. One of the few reservoirs of strong pro-Israel feeling in the UK lies in Northern Ireland, and many of Ulster's Protestants are as sympathetic to Israel as their U.S. cousins. Travelers in Northern Ireland will sometimes see Palestinian flags in Catholic neighborhoods and the Star of David banner in Protestant ones. The writer is professor of foreign affairs and humanities at Bard College and professor of American foreign policy at Yale University. (American Interest)
See also UK Conservatives Working with DUP Will Be Good News for Israel - Steven Jaffe
Northern Ireland's DUP MPs are among the staunchest supporters of Israel in the House of Commons. When in 2014 the issue of recognizing Palestine came up in Parliament, 5 of the 12 MPs that opposed it were from the DUP. DUP MPs also spoke in the debate earlier this year on the Balfour centenary and have been outspoken in condemning Palestinian incitement and funding for terrorist prisoners.
There are fewer than 80 members of the Jewish community in Northern Ireland. So it seems hard to reconcile DUP interest in Israel with electoral self-interest. But Northern Ireland is the UK's "Bible belt" and Christian Zionism is a potent force amongst Ulster's church-going Protestant community. But their support for Israel is also secular. They draw parallels between Northern Ireland's experience of terrorism and Israel's and feel that both Ulster unionists and Israeli Jews get an unfair hearing in the world's press. Belfast-born Steven Jaffe is a consultant to the Board of Deputies of British Jews. (Jewish News-UK)
Saudi Newspaper Criticizes Hamas - Yasser Okbi
The Saudi newspaper Okaz reported Friday that Hamas has invested "$120 million in the last three years in intensive tunnel construction....Hamas allocates millions of Saudi and UAE dollars in order to support Iranian-orchestrated terror."
Saying "there is no difference" between the Islamic State and Hamas, the paper called for immediate Arab intervention in order to prevent Hamas' exploitation of Gaza's citizens. "Hamas uses all the aid that the Palestinians receive to support their interests, it digs tunnels beneath schools, houses and hospitals and thereby poses a danger to the lives of Palestinian civilians." (Maariv Hashavua-Jerusalem Post)
The Jewish Connection to Jerusalem - David Suissa (Jewish Journal of Los Angeles)
With all the talk of renewed diplomacy in the Middle East involving Israel, one of the most emotionally charged issues will be the status of Jerusalem. I attended a multi-media presentation the other night at the Museum of Tolerance titled, "Jerusalem United: Fifty Years of Freedom, Three Thousand Years of Jewish History."
The presenter, Ambassador Dore Gold, who is now President of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, made a compelling and visual case for the deep, uninterrupted, 3,000-year Jewish connection to Jerusalem using artifacts from biblical times, ancient scrolls, recent archeology discoveries, and legal documents from international bodies that appeared on a large screen.
Discussing international efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state, he brought out legal documents that show that "Israel is the most legitimate state in the UN. It is the only state whose legality was recognized even before it was founded by both the League of Nations and the United Nations."
And like a good attorney, he didn't skip the emotional part. I mean the sense of outrage that Gold feels towards anyone who denies a Jewish connection to Jerusalem. International bodies like UNESCO have had no problem passing resolutions denying a Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. Gold is acutely aware of this pervasive movement to negate Jewish history and strike at the core of Jewish identity.
Gold also reminded us that attacks on Jewish legitimacy and identity are nothing new. "The Romans understood that to wage war and defeat their enemies, they needed to attack their identity, not just their physical bodies. After crushing the last Jewish rebellion against them, they renamed Jerusalem 'Aelia Capitolina,' and Judea was given a new name: 'Syria-Palestine.' They wanted to erase the memory of Jewish self-rule forever."

Ny Kronologi er en pseudohistorisk konspirationsteori der går tilbage til Isaac Newton (The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended. 1728), og som i dag anføres af de russiske matematikere Anatolij Fomenko og Gleb Nosovskij.

Ifølge nævnte matematikere og den italiensk-franske filolog Joseph Scaliger kan der etableres en fælles antikhistorisk kronologi, der har søgt at gøre den Romerskkatolske kirkes indflydelse på verdenshistorien større, end tilfældet reelt var. Ifølge Anatolij Fomenko findes der ingen skriftlige kilder, der med sikkerhed kan dateres til tidligere end 1000-tallet. Konsekvensen af Ny Kronologi er, at oldtidens Grækenland, Romerriget og Egypten aldrig har eksisteret.

Russiske forskere mener, at Jesus blev født i 1152 e.Kr. på halvøen Krim og blev korsfæstet i 1185 på Yuşa Tepesi. Det gamle Jerusalem, er beskrevet i alle fire kanoniske evangelier som Yoros fæstning og i Det Gamle Testamente som Konstantinopel. Mest oplagt som forlæg til Biblens Jesus var ifølge Anatolij Fomenko den byzantinske kejser Andronikos Komnenos, som under sin regeringstid forsøgte at stække adlens magt, og som også led en voldsom død i 30 årsalderen. Det Gamle Testamente blev skrevet adskillige hundrede år efter Det Nye Testamente og omhandler begivenheder, der fandt sted i 1300-1500-tallet ifølge Fomenko.

Preity Zinta Quotes
"In my career as an actress, I have never got involved with anybody from the world of films. I have always kept my professional and personal life separate, as that's my policy."
Preity Zinta is an Indian actress known for her work in Bollywood films. She made her debut in 1998 with a supporting role in the drama Dil Se... Later...
Name Preity Zinta
"I've learnt that there's a soul mate somewhere in this world. Till you don't find that person, the search goes on."
"What I've learnt is never to work with the person you are in a relationship with because sometimes you need a break."
"I've never cheated or been cheated upon. I've seen my parents together and secure. So I feel the same way. Infidelity stems from low self-esteem. You want to cheat when you don't feel good about yourself."
"If women want to be treated equally, then they can't ask for sops and whine about not being treated equally. All I'll say is no guts, no glory for men or women."
"I feel really humbled because I decided to go on Twitter, and all of my fans on Twitter say one thing consistently every single day, and that is, 'When are you coming back in movies?' I didn't even think people missed me that much."
"I moved to cricket at a time when I was at the peak of my career, and I can guarantee you that no one else from Bollywood would have done that."
"If some actress thinks she is sexy and she can dance, it's her choice. I do what I want to do, and I set my own benchmark. I will never compare myself with anyone."
"Two things in India are religion - one is cricket, and one is movies - these are two things."
"In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also."
"There will always be competition, especially in showbiz. There's always someone younger and hungrier standing behind you; there's always someone with more contacts; there's always someone whose grandfather or father is a filmmaker. I think your job is just to be there 100% - you work hard, and there are no shortcuts to success."
"Shopping is a lot of fun, but I hate trying on clothes because I think I've done too many costume fittings and trials. I hate trying on clothes. Shoes I love. I mean, I love shoes. Anywhere, any place, any time, you take me to a shoe store."
"I have grown up in Delhi in a way, and I keep coming here often. But, and I am sorry to say, I'll always be nervous when in Delhi. In my college days, I have had my bum pinched around so many times. So yes, in Mumbai, I can just walk around and do what I want to do, but in Delhi I'll always be scared."
"My mother always tells me that when I was a little kid, my first ambition was to be a truck driver, and after that, I went through everything from wanting to be a Prime Minister to an air hostess, but never an actor. So I became one, and it was a great journey. I learnt a lot, worked very hard."
"Film is my first love. It wasn't something I intended to fall in love with, but I grew to love it."
"I'm not somebody who plans. There were times I planned a lot in my life, and it never turns out how you plan it. So I think it's important not to. I'm a very spontaneous person."
"Yes, you have to be brave enough to take steps that your heart is telling you to take. Because when I decided to go into cricket, not one person told me I was making the right move. At that time, nobody thought the IPL would become so big. I was nervous at that time, because suddenly I was in an uncomfortable spot."
"I am always friendly with people. When media asks me for a picture or interview, I readily do it. However, I wouldn't like them clicking my picture when I am eating or when I visit a temple. I don't want to be big in front of God."
"I always follow my heart and my guts. If I want to do something, I have immense belief in hard work and myself. I have it in me to do well anywhere and in anything I do. I have a deep desire to excel in everything I do."
"Luck always favours the brave. And you must remember that brave are the people who follow their heart; brave are the people who take chances in life. Which also means you have to say no sometimes. I believe the power of no is greater than yes."
"When I entered films, I rose to the top. In business, too, I want to be at the top."
"I lost my father when I was 13 years old. He was a great man, my father, and very intelligent. I love him very much. I believe it's very important that parents have a personal connection with their children. It helps kids feel more secure, have a feeling of family, makes them feel loved."
"To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected."
"You know what's the worst part about being an actress? It's the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I'm not perfect; nobody is."
"Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean, we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets, too."

The death of a teenage worker in Colorado has led to a massive $1.6M OSHA fine against Tempel Grain Elevators in Wiley, Colorado. The worker death occurred after 17 year old Cody Rigsby fell into a grain elevator, and was engulfed by grain, ultimately suffocating to death. OSHA ultimately fined Tempel Grain for a host of violations, including employing child labor, unguarded conveyors, fall hazards, and improper electrical wiring.
Jonah Flynn is an Atlanta Workers' Compensation attorney and an attorney representing injured workers in third-party tort lawsuits across the country. Willfull OSHA violations, such as those which occurred at Temple Grain, often lead to worker injury and death.


Carnations signify purity, faith, love, beauty and charity. Carnations are the most gifted flower at Mother's Day with pink carnations having the most significance. Legend has it that they first sprouted from the Virgin Mary's tears shed over Jesus' death – making them the symbol of a mother's undying love.
Roses – if your mother is very traditional, roses might be the best option for her. The rose maybe the most-given Mother's Day flower after carnations. Red roses are traditionally associated with romantic love while a lighter red or deep pink color denotes gratitude and appreciation.
White roses are associated with purity and brightness.
Tulips are a perfect choice if your mom is light-hearted and easy-going. Tulips represent comfort, coziness and above all happiness.
The yellow tulip symbolizes "there's sunshine in your smile".
Lilies – Beloved by many mothers, lilies come in a number of colors and varieties. Calla lilies stand for beauty. Lily of the Valley convey humility and devotion.
White lilies symbolize virtue and purity while pink represent friendship and prosperity.
The day lily is a Chinese symbol for motherhood.
Daisies – Gerbera Daisies symbolize innocence, purity and beauty and also represent cheerfulness. If your mom radiates happiness, gerbera daisies are a perfect pick for her bouquet.
In ancient Greece women believed that if the father of their unborn child ate large, new orchid tubers, the baby would be a boy. If the mother ate small orchid tubers, she would give birth to a girl.

It is always inspiring to hear stories of life-saving rescues. Amid the media rumpus that occurs around political events, elections, terror incidents, we simply don't hear enough stories of life saving and doing good in the world. It is with that in mind that I decided to write yet another story of a life-saving rescue, one which is both inspiring and gives us a lesson for the holiday of freedom.
One of the most joyous and celebrated nights on the Jewish calendar is the Peasach Seder, a night in which celebrate with friends and family. We rejoice in those we share the holiday with and we commemorate those who are not with us. This year, another Zaidy will be present to rejoice with his family thanks to his worried daughter and a United Hatzalah ambucycle paramedic who saved his life.
Fortunately, Yossi did not have to wait long for the police and fire department to arrive, as well as the man's daughter who had rushed over with the apartment key. The key would not turn, a clear but ominous indication that the man was home and had locked the door from the inside. The police issued the order to break down the door and the fire department promptly complied.
The man's daughter expressed her deep gratitude to Yossi for his rapid arrival and professional treatment.
Yossi is not the only United Hatzalah volunteer who is making sure that the elderly are receiving the proper medical care. Yossi is part of a United Hatzalah program called "Ten Kavod" or "Giving Honor" in which EMTs, paramedics and doctors who volunteer with United Hatzalah take time once a week to go visit with an elderly person around the country. Yossi's elderly person is a 92 year-old holocaust survivor who suffers from a number of illnesses. "Often these elderly people are holocaust survivors and they have no one else to take care of them," said Yossi.
The volunteer medics take the elderly person's vitals, ask them if they are getting the proper medical treatment that they require, and help them make appointments or fill out forms if needed. Aside from the much needed medical help the weekly visits also provide the elderly people with a much needed relationship that they would not otherwise have.
These home check-ups have maintained the health of many elderly people around the country and likewise helped prevent medical emergencies among the elderly population. They have proven to save lives.
The volunteers who conduct the visits are not people who have all of the time in the word. Rather, like Yossi, they have full-time jobs and then leave their families to volunteer as a medic at the drop of a hat 24/7/365. The volunteers who take part in the Ten Kavod project are extremely busy juggling their work as well as their medical and familial responsibilities. If they can make time to visit elderly people once a week, then we can find it our busy lives to reach out to bubbies and Zaidies as well. Perhaps we can even reach out to some bubbies and zadies who aren't ours and make sure that they too have something to look forward to in their day or week. With all of the hype surrounding social justice, perhaps this is a cause that we can cahmpion as well to provide some of the people of the elder generation with a meaningful relationship and the care that they need to ensure that they too can make it to the seder with their family again this year.
This year, let's give the gift of making our peasach seder revolve around saving just one person, someone else!

In a home there are many private rooms. If you have teenagers, sometimes you might think their rooms are too private but the kitchen is the one place you can expect to see them. In recent years we have seen people beginning to adapt their kitchens to make a more collaborative environment to enable the whole family to congregate. For example, family computers are now common in the kitchen, alongside big working space table tops and even easels for painters. Because of this shift in dynamics, it's important your kitchen space is designed to be welcome for your entire family.
People invest a lot into their kitchen and subsequent upgrades because it's the most important room in the home when it comes to the resale value of your home. The kitchen is universally known as the heart of the home. The have the ability to host a meal but also set an entire experience. For those not looking to reinvest the entire kitchen some good quality upgrades can make a long-lasting difference to your home. For example something like changing cabinets/or countertops can significantly transform the kitchen.
The kitchen is where we make food. Food is good for the body, mind and soul. Without it we would not be able to live. Just the simple act of preparing food can dramatically enhance our mood. The act of cooking as a family is great for bonding and overall family time and of course the act of eating gives us the nutrients and energy we need to for a happy and healthy life.
The kitchen is a place where everyone can cook together, play card games or relax in an informal setting. From baking with the children to wine following dinner with friends is provides the perfect place for people to get out of their shell and have some fun.
Every single home has a kitchen and a bathroom, it's a necessity no other room(s) have such an important purpose. Having a fully functioning and modern kitchen makes your life easier and more efficient – you save time for things that are most important to you. Meal preparations should be an enjoyable and pleasurable activity, something you can look forward to and not dread. Further, you should want to spend time in your beautiful kitchen with the ones you love, it enhances your quality of life and gives you relief from the hustle and bustle of life.

Carol Drinkwater: My six best books
ACTRESS Carol, 61, starred in BBC1's All Creatures Great And Small before becoming an author. She lives in the south of France with her film-maker husband Michel. Her book The Olive Tree (Phoenix, £7.99) is out now.

JUST WILLIAM
by Richmal Crompton
Macmillan, £5.99
Just William stories are very anarchic. William was a hero of mine and typical of who I was at that stage in my life. It's more than 20 years since I last read them but I still have copies and would love to find time to re-read the collection.
HEART OF THE MATTER
by Graham Greene
Penguin, £7.99
This is set in Africa and Greene's sense of location is excellent. The character's marital crisis and the breakdown of a man at war with his emotions, physical sensuality and catholic conscience were elements which touched me. They're issues Greene focuses on a good deal in his books.
by Jean Giono
Haarvill Press, £5.99
Considered one of the great French writers of the 20th century, Giono writes with a simplicity which is admirable and creates images of nature which are breathtaking. A great Provençal writer who knew the area before it became a tourist destination; he talks about it in a beautiful fairy tale-like way.
by lsabel Allende
Trueworld, £8.99
I'm an enormous fan of Allende, not only because of her writing but everything she does for women in Third World countries. She's a writer of great magic and imagery. This is a political piece about life in South America. It's a wonderful story of a family's evolution.
SEA AND SARDINIA
by DH Lawrence
This describes Lawrence's journey from Sicily, where he was living, to Sardinia, then a little known island. It's not only a wonderful chronicle of postwar Italian history but also a superb travel book. Lawrence had a way of using words and description which dances off the page. I re-read this regularly because it inspires me.
SUPER-CANNES
by JG Ballard
Flamingo, £7.99
I like most of Ballard's books but this is set in my neck of the woods and is the one I wish I'd written. It's a very visionary book and his images pierce your skin. His prose is perceptive and searing, too, and one of his greatest talents was the ability to go right to the heart of a person.

It's always interesting to hear the love tale behind the union of a beautiful couple. Read on to find out how this beautiful nurse and her charming surgeon met and fell in love.
A princess once thought she would never meet the man of her dreams, until she met the charming surgeon. When she looks into his eyes, she sees a gateway of the world she wants to live in.
His love is a miracle that she's lucky enough to experience. She could not have dreamt of a better person.
Funny how she has heard a lot about him in the past years and even seen him several times without paying attention to him. Let's just timing is everything.
On a fateful day few years ago, she was invited to a "friend's friend" birthday party with the intention that she will be introduced to the celebrant, which never happened because she got into an interesting odd discussion with her prince😊😊😉. They spoke at length about football and discovered they are both ardent Manchester United fans which formed a basis for their subsequent communication.
Then he decided she was a jewel he had to keep forever, invited her to LaCampagne Tropicana for a picnic with friends where he swept her off her feet and popped the big question. She knew he was God's precious gift to her and happily said YES.
Now they are taking the walk to forever and hope to live happily ever after!

MDaemon Pro v11
Editors' rating
By Alan Stevens | April 26, 2010 -- 15:52 GMT (08:52 PDT) | Topic: Developer
✓Easy-to-use monitoring and management tools
✓Robust and functional Outlook connector
✓Blackberry push email
✕Windows only
✕Antivirus is an optional extra
✕No support for Exchange ActiveSync
Now in its eleventh incarnation, MDaemon Pro is a tried-and-trusted solution that goes a long way towards emulating Microsoft's Exchange. It's also a very affordable alternative and much simpler to manage, making it popular in small to medium-sized organisations.
Like Exchange, MDaemon is only available for Windows, but you don't necessarily need a server or Windows server OS to run it. Any version of Windows from XP onwards can be used — although, as a mission-critical application, a reasonably well-specified server is recommended, especially if you intend to take advantage of the various collaboration options.
Installation is pretty straightforward, with most of the functionality delivered in the core package including a rock-solid SMTP mail server capable of supporting both POP3 and IMAP clients. A domain-sharing facility allows a single email domain to be hosted on multiple servers (in distributed branch offices, for example) with LDAP and Active Directory integration as standard. You also get built-in archiving tools, basic anti-spam plus a range of sender authentication and content-screening tools.
An optional module called SecurityPlus (from £83 ex. VAT for 6 users) offers integrated antivirus protection — based on Commtouch and Kaspersky technologies — along with more advanced anti-spam and anti-phishing tools.
Web-based management is available, but most customers will opt for the custom Windows console that includes comprehensive monitoring as well administration tools. This we found relatively easy to navigate, despite the assumption of a high degree of technical knowledge as well as familiarity with how the MDaemon software works. That said, it's a lot simpler than managing an equivalent Exchange setup, thanks to an optional 'easy' interface that banishes unnecessary on-screen clutter.
End users get the usual browser-based client (WorldClient), while support for Outlook and other POP3/IMAP clients is available via an optional Outlook Connector (from £80 ex. VAT for 6 users). This has been available for several years, and earlier incarnations were far from perfect. However, Outlook users now get a seamless Exchange-like experience, including calendar and contacts sharing plus meeting scheduling complete with free/busy information support.

The collaboration features are also available from the multi-lingual WorldClient, which can be made to look like Outlook and customised with an wide range of themes and colours. An optional summary or dashboard page is another new feature in the latest v11 implementation, together with follow-up flags and enhanced search facilities.
Also new in v11 is enhanced support for push email to Blackberry mobiles. Unfortunately, there's no support for Exchange ActiveSync yet, although a variety of wireless mobiles can be supported — including Apple's iPhone, Google Android and Nokia smartphones — using a combination of built-in mail clients, SyncML and add-on tools. Migration tools are available for companies looking to move to MDaemon, with archiving another standard feature of this venerable and well-supported Exchange alternative.

Pathways to opportunity must lead through social supports
David Nicholas's eco-system model of employment for neuro-diverse adults recognized with UCalgary Sustainability Award
Zoltan Varadi, Faculty of Social Work
For nearly a decade, University of Calgary Faculty of Social Work researcher Dr. David Nicholas, PhD, has investigated pathways to sustained employment for neuro-diverse adults, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); in doing so, he has revealed the landscape through which those paths must cross.
"Part of my work over the years has really been thinking about how to create a networked ecosystem that intentionally includes opportunities for workplace success and sustainability," says Nicholas. "For people with neuro-disabilities, finding the resources to support their aims of a good life potentially also has bearing on their success and sustainability in employment."
These resources include things such as social supports, secure housing, and health and mental health supports, he says. It also encompasses elements accessible to employers and co-workers, including education and supports that could help create inclusive opportunities and environments where everyone's success is valued.
David Nicholas, recipient of the 2021 Sustainability Research Award.
In recognition of this approach, Nicholas was recently announced as the recipient of UCalgary's 2021 Sustainability Award in the Research category.
"I'm indebted to some amazing partners who have really shifted this work forward from the research focus to on-the-ground application in communities," he says of the honour. "I really attribute this work to an army of partners that have worked together to say, 'How can we change the landscape of what's possible in this field?'"
Thanks to Nicholas and his network, this field of research has substantially advanced, but what drew him to it in the first place was its very paucity. At the onset of his career, Nicholas focused on the areas of child-based services in chronic health and disability. Then, he became aware of what the autism literature refers to as "the cliff," wherein services and resources for neuro-diverse individuals drop off significantly after adolescence.
If we think about the end goal, it isn't so much about employment but rather quality of life and what goes into quality of life.
"It became more apparent to me that we focus a lot of our interventional attention on the early years, which is important. Yet the fact that most of life typically is lived is in our adult years," he says. "And employment and our vocational activity become a critical part of that life journey. I shifted as I saw some of the gaps and the chasms in our system of services and the opportunities that were available or not available. That really compelled me to look at this area."
Nicholas emphasizes that thinking about sustained employment for the neuro-diverse community means more than just considering the development of job skills and achieving economic self-sufficiency. He acknowledges the complex, multi-faceted nature of work in our lives; this includes 'soft' skills of relationship-building, and managing negative factors such as a job-induced stress. He further speaks to the importance of a myriad of benefits not listed in an employment package such as self identity, achievement and workplace health and mental health benefits offered with some jobs.
"If we think about the end goal, it isn't so much about employment but rather quality of life and what goes into quality of life," he explains. "Those elements may be things like belongingness and community, and an opportunity to move forward and to face and overcome challenges."
With the research being shared on the ground across the globe, from Canada to Russia to Australia, Nicholas is encouraged by the results to date. But, with a national employment rate much lower in the broader population, he says there's still much work to be done.
"Growth in the field, I think, is really important to note. At the same time, we still have disparity in terms of the employment rate at a national level for people with neuro disabilities versus those without," he says. "When we see what is possible with the reworking of our resources and rethinking of our environments, versus what is, in terms of what people are attaining in employment, I think we have a long way to go… But I'm grateful we've come as far as we have."

Composer and conductor Anton Webern first studied piano, cello, and theory with Edwin Ko-mauer, and later philosophy and musicology at the University of Vienna, where he completed his doctoral dissertation in 1906. He then began composing, doubtless under the influence of Wagner. His meeting with Arnlod Schoenberg was decisive—he and Alban Berg became the first circle of Schoenberg's students, and he would follow his master's stylistic evolution into atonality and later dodecaphony, becoming even more radical than Schoenberg. In 1909 Webern composed his Six Pieces for Orchestra, op. 6, his only work for large ensemble, before dedicating himself to brief compositions in 1913-1914. Between 1917 and 1921, he wrote numerous cycles for voice, where the usual piano accompaniment is replaced by small ensembles or by the clarinet, an instrument he was most fond of.

Published August 19th, 2013 - 08.19.135
The New York Times and the Washington Post report that today is the deadline for filing formal objections to Detroit's eligibility for bankruptcy protection. The New York Times explains that "unions, creditors and retirees" are expected to file objections before the deadline passes. The City must respond to these objections by September 6. A hearing on the eligibility question is set to begin on October 23.
The New York Times also discusses disparities in federal benefits available to the families of firefighters who die on the job. While firefighters with different backgrounds and employers often work together, the benefits available to their survivors depend on whether they work full or part time and whether they are employed by local, state, or federal governments, or by private contractors.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that there has been a push to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour in Seattle. So far, the City Council and some mayoral candidates have agreed to consider the idea. Minimum wage in the state of Washington is currently $9.19 an hour.
In other local news, the Wall Street Journal reports that hundreds of job-seekers spent last night on a Manhattan street, waiting on line for a chance to participate in a carpenters' union training program.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that top Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) managers receive compensation packages that are "on the high side of average" for senior transit managers. BART management is currently involved in contract disputes with labor unions.
Pensions & Investments discusses U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez's clash with California officials over provisions in California's 2012 public pension reform law. Secretary Perez has expressed concern that the pension reform law diminishes the rights of unionized transit workers.
In international news, the Los Angeles Times describes the struggles that recent college graduates face in China. By some accounts, the unemployment rate for Chinese college graduates between the ages of 21 and 25 is 16%. This figure is almost four times the unemployment rate of blue-collar workers.
An editorial in the New York Times argues that F.B.I. background checks are "woefully flawed, often based on fallible and incomplete data submitted to the bureau by state and local law enforcement." As a result, these background checks have damaged the employment prospects of workers who have never been convicted of a crime. The piece concludes that "[a]t the very least, the F.B.I. should be held to the same standards as private background-check companies, which are required to follow procedures for weeding out inaccurate information."
The Times' Editorial Board also criticizes the Bangladeshi government for its delay in compensating the families of the roughly 1,100 factory workers who died in a building collapse four months ago.
Finally, the Wall Street Journal reports some of the creative perks that employers are using to keep their workers motivated. The perks range from "Free Beer Fridays" to providing insurance coverage for employees' parents.
