Top three kissers

A man’s kiss is like his penis; the owner is usually clueless how it rates. Whether he’s good or bad. If you are aroused by it, or disappointed. If it’s inviting you to surrender, or forcing it’s way in. Even if he has missed 24 dental appointments and had his penis broken in three different places, he will still think his kiss and cock are the stuff that dreams are made of.

We all know what bad kisses are. So I dived into the Google to find out why it is that some men kiss so lovely. What makes them so special? The first thing I stumbled upon was the Kama Sutra, sharing with us 8 different kisses. I read it, conclusion being that what good kissers don’t do, is read the Kama Sutra. Applying even one of these eight, is sufficient to banish a man from the female Universe for life. That the Kama Sutra is an Indian marriage manual (not a dating manual) makes it even more cruel. Don’t get married in India, unless you like getting your face sucked off.

I tried reading another article on kissing but stranded on page 2. You can read it here, if you like. It does indicate that sucking of someones face is a bad idea, as is forceful kissing. Things most women will agree on.

Here’s my personal top three.

3. Valentino

From the moment he walked into my yoga class, to the moment we kissed in his student room;  1,5 year. He wasn’t 19 anymore, he wasn’t seeing someone else anymore. Valentino had more experience, than I hoped to get in life time, and I expected him to take initiative. He didn’t. When I finally laid my head to his shoulder, and we kissed, I expected him to be passionate or pushy. He wasn’t.
Nothing could have prepared me for the sweet, feminine, kisses he gave.
“ Your kisses are so soft!’ I ruined the moment. “ I m sure you hear that all the time.”
He smiled and said: “Every now and then.”

The rest of his sexual behavior was less puppy like. More like a war where he conquered,  I defended, and he brought out the heavy artillery. Some of his tricks even worked and I did lose more territory than I wanted.

Gentle feminine kisses do not mean that someone is of outstanding character, nor that he has the best intentions. Yet you will always remember him, as if he did.

2. Mc. Dreamy

Just like Valentino, McDreamy was half Indonesian. Once a doctor, and now a performing artist, he had an ability to bring out emotions. It was in a bar on our first date. He ordered the same drink I did, twice, as if he was a bit shy. I leaned over and kissed him, and he responded. Silken, loving, without a hint of aggression or lust. I seldom cried tears that were so pure. Free from grief.
I still don’t know what happened.

1.  Jonathan

You’re 16. So is he. You kind of like him. And then he kisses you.
[pause] [pause] [pause]

No, I wasn’t inexperienced, yet I don’t consider myself kissed, until I met Jonathan. I didn’t fondle, didn’t have oral sex, didn’t give head, until I met Jonathan. His patience, his gentleness, his commitment. That boy could seduce whole convents to give up their marriage to Jesus for a night with him.

My hunger to experience his tender, healing lovemaking again, has pushed me on an immoral kissing spree, kissing every man that remotely reminds me of him. Only to show up empty hearted. It is never Jonathan.

But ever since then, every time I kiss, something happens to the man. Some smile in silence. Some verbalize their admiration. And some stand spellbound, and utter just a simple wow.

    Ik ben verliefd. Gaat het ook nog ergens over? Overigens heb ik ook een leuke foto, die ik niet via twitter kan versturen, dan komt ie in mijn rijtje, en die fout heb ik eerder gemaakt. Veel DM’s over gehad. Ik lees straks even.

  2. petepel

    Aan ‘ranking the kissers’ doe ik niet, maar ik koester wel enkele favorieten.
    Hoe ik zelf kus weet ik niet. Heb wel ooit feedback gevraagd en gekregen.

A false majority for statehood

Puerto Rico’s legislature just approved yet another statehood referendum to be held during the summer of 2017. This will represent the fourth vote in the last 25 years on the matter as well as the latest attempt by the statehood movement to squeeze another star onto the U.S. flag. Nevertheless, a closer look reveals a scheme on behalf of the ruling New Progressive Party (NPP) to create an artificial majority in favor of statehood. Their tactics involve trickery in wording ballot options in a manner that will favor their preference.

A quick review of how they have maneuvered previous votes on the matter reveal their intentions. The first of NPP-authored referendum occurred in 1993. The options included statehood, independence, or a continuation of the current commonwealth model. After aggressive campaigning on all sides, commonwealth won with 48.6%, with statehood trailing second at 46.3%. Despite the commonwealth win championed by the opposition Popular Democratic Party (PDP), the NPP won reelection three years later and again began conjuring another referendum.

In 1998, a second NPP referendum was rolled out. This time, the question was revised with the intention to split PDP sympathizers between various options and thus produce a plural majority for the statehood option. Along with commonwealth, “free association” was added to the ballot options. With this, the NPP hoped to capitalize upon technical divisions within PDP ranks, whom have long debated among themselves whether or not to continue the current territorial commonwealth status or developed it under a United Nations-defined form of association. After intense court battles a “none of the above” option was added to the ballot; ultimately winning the vote with 50.5%. The NPP soonafter lost the general elections with the PDP in power for two terms.

Upon returning to power in the 2008 elections the NPP initiated new efforts for a third referendum, held in 2012. This time, there would be two questions: first, voters were asked whether or not Puerto Rico should continue under the current commonwealth model. The second question asked citizens what they were to prefer in case that commonwealth lost, with the options being statehood, independence, or free association. Knowing that the commonwealth option alone no longer commandeered a majority of votes, the NPP knew that if it were eliminated from the ballot that it would be inevitable for statehood to win with a clear majority.

With no “none of the above option”, the PDP machinery ran a blank ballot campaign, hoping to protest what it saw to be an unfair referendum. Though the NPP expectantly won the vote by 61.2%, once blank votes were factored, its numbers stood at a mere 44.4%. The NPP’s marketing strategy was foiled, as the party’s exaggeratingly inflated majority felt upon deaf ears of the U.S. Congress. Though they carry no legal weight, the blank votes demonstrated that the majority of Puerto Ricans reject statehood.

Now, NPP is back in power and once again is cooking up another round of voting. The questions have been carefully crafted to produce the super majority it always hoped for, with the options being statehood and independence with “free association” brushed off by the NPP as a modality of independence. “Commonwealth” was eliminated from the ballot in its entirety. PPD proposals to include commonwealth and free association as their own ballot options were shot down. Finally, the law which mandates the vote includes specific text meant to not tally blank votes.

The law referendum represents quite possibly the most obviously biased of the NPP’s initiatives. Even the Puerto Rican Independence Party voted against the measure; a rarity for a party that often aligns itself with the NPP to erode PPD-supported referendum options. The blatantly skewed law narrative reads as a manifesto, clamoring for statehood as a means to conquer Puerto Rican poverty. Not to mention, lawmakers carefully assured that the bill number would be one in sync with their goals: Senate Bill 51.

The NPP has rushed a number of controversial bills through the state legislature in recent weeks, including labor reforms that rock both private and public sector employees. The biggest austerity measures are soon to follow and should echo the protests and strikes that characterized the precious NPP administration. This ill-timed referendum is simply a rhetoric effort to pump much-needed political capital into the NPP, who won the 2016 elections with the smallest mandate in the island’s history. So journalists and analysts beware: the coming statehood vote is far from transparent, participatory, fair, or well intended.

A democratizar el Partido Popular

La sacudida dentro del Partido Popular ha tocado al alto liderato, iniciando un debate sobre la presidencia, la elección de los miembros de la Junta de Gobierno y las posiciones de liderazgo dentro de la delegación legislativa. Mientras tanto, el elector de la base, los líderes de barrios y los presidentes municipales esperan pacientemente a que se resuelven las cosas “allá arriba”, estando como en el limbo. Sin embargo, yo soy de los que cree que lo que hace falta en el PPD es una buena primaria interna y asambleas generales con más frecuencia para activar a su base y dejar que sus miembros se expresen.

Mientras todos siguen teorizando sobre las razones de la abstención popular, pocos han recomendado lo que a veces suena como cliché: dejar que el pueblo decida. Hace falta devolver el segundo apellido al partido y democratizarlo. Así mirando hacia abajo y no hacia arriba, hay que atender al electorado tan frustrado que no salió a votar. La militancia popular no debe estar limitada a ser funcionario de colegio o avanzador de algún candidato: debe también involucrar la toma de decisiones importantes.

Las reorganizaciones municipales deben ser abiertas, transparentes y participativas, dejando que cualquier ciudadano inscrito en el partido pueda opinar y postularse para posiciones de liderato – sin maquineo o brazo torcido. Las estructuras de barrio deben ser organizaciones representativas, basadas en interés y activismo, en vez de existir únicamente para servir al presidente municipal. Estos organismos de unidad deberían poder escoger sus representantes a los comités municipales, quienes en turno escojan a sus delegados de manera democrática. Así se construye un partido de abajo para arriba, en vez de pedir, cada cuatro años, que un alcalde o presidente municipal prepare una lista de sus delegados.

Vamos a abrir las puertas de la democracia y vamos a perder el miedo a las consultas internas y las primarias. Utilizando como ejemplo las últimas dos primarias para candidato a Comisionado Residente (del 2000 y 2016), en ambos casos los ganadores de la primaria sacaron más votos que nuestros candidatos a gobernación. Las primarias y la democracia interna tienen gran potencial para fortalecer a los partidos y evitar que su base se sienta como testigo pasivo de lo que pasa en su partido.

Sin duda hay mucha incertidumbre. ¿Quién debe ser nuestro presidente? ¿Debemos expulsar ciertos candidatos a recomendación del presidente? ¿Cómo llenaremos vacantes? ¿Sancionamos a un legislador ‘disidente’? ¿Cómo procedemos con el estatus después de Sánchez vs. ELA? Estas son decisiones y posturas que han tomado detrás de puertas cerradas por décadas y sin el insumo del pueblo popular. La participación de la base no debe estar limitada a una asamblea general una vez cada cuatro años. ¿Por qué se abstuvo el pueblo popular? ¡Vamos a preguntarlo!

Puerto Rican Statehood is at it Again

The island of Puerto Rico has long been held up in a seemingly endless debate over whether or not it should become the 51st state of the union, remain its course as a territory or free association, or obtain outright independence. The discussion traditionally heats up towards the end of each election cycle, with this previous election being no different. The incoming pro-statehood governor, Ricardo Rosselló championed himself as the last governor of the colony; smear campaigns painted his opponent as separatist and anti-American; and a mysterious PAC appeared seemingly out of nowhere in previous weeks to promote statehood. Finally, Rosselló vowed to initiate special elections as part of his “Plan Tennessee” to vote for federal senators and representatives; promising that statehood was right around the corner. Statehood is further away than ever but politicians still find ways to squeeze out political capital from promises of increased federal funding and prosperity.

The statehood option has failed at the polls when referendum on the matter were carried out in 1967, 1993, 1998 and 2012. In the latest, statehood won what appeared to be super majority of 61% though a closer look shows that the statehood vote has not grown in decades. The anti-statehood Popular Democratic Party boycotted said vote and rallied its followers to protest by submitting blank ballots. Once factored in, only 44% of voters opted for statehood. Nevertheless, four years of political turmoil, heavy emigration, fiscal chaos, and a recently imposed federal control board have provided a ripe environment to prey on voters’ fears of further cuts in federal funding or economic instability. Roselló’s New Progressive Party (NPP) has rammed statehood down voters’ throats and by doing so, won enough votes to pull in a 3 point win. In fact, months prior Roselló had won a heated primary arguing that he was somehow more of a “statehooder” than his NPP opponent.

Only time will tell the effectiveness of Roselló’s efforts, though it sure appears to be an uphill battle. For the last 12 years Puerto Rico has elected pro-statehood Resident Commissioners; the island’s non-voting representative in the U.S. House. During said period, three House bills have been introduced in both Democratic- and Republican-controlled Houses with the latest titled the “Puerto Rican Statehood Admission Process Act”. Two died in the House and one in the Senate, with 76% percent of Republicans voting against. As with previous bills which survived long enough to reach a vote, the Republican Party has traditionally opposed Puerto Rican self determination out of fear that islanders might actually elect to become a state.

For the time being, the federal government seems to be more concerned with fiscal matters, entirely overlooking the Puerto Rican Statehood Admission Process Act in order to streamline the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act. Approval of the Act’s federal control board took only seven months from the first bill to its final approval, while discussion concerning Puerto Rico’s territorial status has been near stagnant for the last six decades. Nor does it seem that the matter will be a top priority of the incoming administration, with Trump’s public policy advisor and Puerto Rico liaison Alan Cobb downplaying the matter last July, stating that statehood was a “long path” and that the fiscal situation “doesn’t help”. The lukewarm Republican Party platform, for example, calls on yet another referendum to measure the electorate’s preference.

Supposing that Puerto Rican voters were to vote heavily in favor of statehood, and even if the Republican-controlled Congress were to put aside their traditional opposition to an admissions bill, it is to be seen whether or not the matter will find its place in an already charged political agenda which includes affordable health care, defense and trade. With Trump’s promise to oust up to 3 million immigrants from the country, statehood might not be apt for a presidency mired by American nationalism and rocky relations with Latinos. But at the end of the day, despite the far fetched idea the proposal continues to be capitalized upon by politicians eager to win another election.

The lights change on the hill
The air seems strangely still
Everyone's asleep

The floorboards creak at dawn
As you walk out on the lawn
The grass is wet beneath

You think it rather strange
You think it rather weird
It's fair to say that

Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here

Let me tell you 'bout the book
That I've been reading
It's got all my favorite words
Let me tell you 'bout who I saw scheming
Ya better know it's not my girl

Let me tell ya 'bout what I've been seeing
It's the window to the world
Let me tell you 'bout the secret
I've been keeping
Said the oyster to the pearl

Are you sorry?
No not me
And tell me why should I be
Cause I've been knocked right off of my feet
And no I didn't even miss a beat

I never thought a love could be like this
Then she said my name
Now I'm wrapped around her finger
I'll never be the same

So let me tell ya 'bout the joke
That you've been living
Said the clown to the fool
Let me tell you 'bout
The wheel that keeps on spinning
Said the teacher to the school

Are you worried?
Well could be, cause I'll tell you what I've seen
I've weathered storms that would sink most ships
Yes I know when to button my lip

Offer me a melody
Pour a cup of wine
Spill your deepest memory
And someday you'll be fine

Butchies – Lydia lyrics

Lydia lydia comes around
Lesson number one lesson the sound
In breaking this sonic looming disc
A close encounter is the 1st risk
A psychic a physic a break down
E. S. P E. S. Pecially pro and found
Mistaking this floating space for right
And shaken gravity
Did you get what you're asking for
Hideous hideous people kill
Destroying fields & rock & stars
You're dying and vying for the break
To be on top of us
Did you get what you're asking for

Battery Life of M3?

Have a 2004 M3 with 60,000 miles, just under 5 years old. The battery is fading, meters at 10.5 volts rather than 12.5. Inspection window still looks green but car turns over slower than normal. What's typical battery life, and should I replace with OEM or go after market?

Lovecraft's The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales have had a profound influence on horror throughout the 21st century.

From "The Nameless City" to "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", references to his stories have appeared in all manner of fiction throughout the ages.

Choosing the Best Restaurant Options

There are more restaurant options available today than there have ever been. Today's diner has so many choices in ethnic cuisine that is has become a global experience. Thai and Mexican cuisine are almost as common today as Italian and Chinese once were. When deciding on where to spend your money, take a little time to figure out what choices are available. Try a few different establishments to find out what you like. There are many options to fit your budget.

  • Cafe - Might feature more limited choices than a full-service establishment. Cafe's are places where people tend to take their time as they eat and enjoy coffee and conversation.
  • Bar and Grill - An establishment that serves alcohol in addition to sandwiches, salads, and sides.
  • Buffet - Diners chose their own menu, at a fixed price, from an assortment of dishes. Many Indian places offer buffets that feature vegetarian options. Family-oriented establishments may offer all-you-can-eat options including soup, salad, and dessert.
  • Fast Food - Food that is prepared quickly and is available for take out or delivery as well as dine-in. Fast food has typically been burgers and pizza but may also include Greek gyros or Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine.
  • Red Checkered Table Cloth - Casual dining establishments with reasonable prices. These restaurants are more laid back than fancier joints.
  • White Table Cloth - These are more upscale fine dining establishments. The dishes will be priced higher your meal will be prepared to the specification of the chef. French cuisine is usually associated with this type of experience.
  • Sushi - A very popular Japanese dish featuring cooked rice with raw seafood or vegetables. These dishes are served with sliced pickled ginger and wasabi horse radish.

    Sometimes there's a special occasion that needs to be celebrated or you just have no desire to cook. When this happens, it's time to go to a restaurant, a place where you can purchase prepared food for dining in, take out, or delivery. Every eatery has a focus that their menu revolves around, whether it be ethnic, family, or bar in nature. The first official restaurants were Chinese, established during the Song Dynasty. It's thought that these places grew along side theatrical stage drama. As time has progressed, dining establishments have matured in several different ways. Fast food cafes and buffet joints have risen to cater to the working stiff with very little time. These places can also include coffee bars. Average bar and grill places also aim to serve food fast, but their menus are often limited to finger foods. Family establishments usually aim to serve comfort food of various types, like southern, Mexican, Greek, or Italian cooking. Sometimes these restaurants offer specialty dining like vegetarian, sushi, fondue, or seafood to eat. Fine dining cafes elicit thoughts of exotic cuisine like French, Thai, or Indian. Some of these places require semi-formal or formal wear in order to be seated. Depending on the area's laws, some restaurants may not be allowed to serve alcohol without a meal involved or they may not be able to serve at all. Bars have severe alcohol restrictions that allow them to serve the way they do. Fully licensed cafes can serve all they want or allow people to bring their own beverages (BYOB).

Cox Sells Wireless Licenses To Verizon

    Joining other major cable operators in looking to dramatically shift the wireless business in the U.S., Cox Communications has sold its advanced wireless services licenses to Verizon Wireless for $315 million.

    Like a much bigger deal Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks struck -- as part of their joint venture, SpectrumCo -- two weeks ago with Verizon, Cox and Verizon will become agents to sell each other's residential and commercial services and products. That collective deal was sold to Verizon for $3.6 billion.

    Analysts believe this creates a big business shift in the mobile business. For major U.S cable operators mobile has been a big piece of their growing triple-play business -- which includes video, broadband, and phone.

    The Cox deals covers 28 million people. Cox will keep its existing slower speed licenses, which will be phased out by March 2012.

    Cox will enter into a similar joint venture created by Verizon Wireless, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House -- a business aimed at developing ways to better integrate wireline and wireless products and services.

    "These agreements provide Cox customers with key enablers to mobility, such as access to Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network and iconic wireless devices," stated Pat Esser, president of Cox Communications, touting "the many benefits this will bring to customers."

Laboring in Maine

Text by Candace Kanes

Images from the Brick Store Museum, Caribou Public Library, City of Brewer, Lewiston Public Library, Lovell Historical Society, Lubec Historical Society, McArthur Library, Monson Historical Society, Patten Lumberman's Museum, Sanford History Committee, United Society of Shakers, and the Maine Historical Society.

Forests, ocean coastline, granite deposits, and cold temperatures have helped to determine the types of labor in which Mainers would engage. At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, when industry was growing, Maine laborers worked in logging, milling and papermaking; built ships, fished, and processed fish; mined and cut granite and slate; cut and shipped ice, as well as farmed the state's rocky soils, and carried out other important functions.

While not all business and industry was determined by the Maine geography, these images show the variety of activities of Maine laborers and suggest some of the ways in which Maine's landscape has shaped the men and women who worked to make livings in Maine and the ways that they, in turn, have helped to shape the state.

Marena Everyday Shapewear: If you like this surgical garment, once you are healed check out Marena Everyday Shapewear, which can give you a slimmer, shapelier figure in your day to day life.

Product Description & Benefits:

The Female Abdominal & Lower Body Compression Girdle - Mid Thigh - Stage One Garment is worn immediately following surgery for the first 1-2 weeks of post-op before the Stage Two garment becomes necessary. The Stage One garment is made to be less tight and bigger than the Stage Two due to your having more swelling during the initial recovery. This garment improves blood circulation, minimizes swelling after the procedure, flushes the body out of potentially harmful fluids, accelerates the healing process, keeps the implants in their correct position, and allows the patient to return to daily routines sooner. This compression garment also provides support to surgical areas for more comfort and helps the skin fit better to its new contours. Further, this garment can also help prevent a patient from experiencing some "throbbing" sensations after surgery. The garment may also help reduce the tension on newly formed scars and prevent them from stretching. The Female Abdominal & Lower Body Compression Girdle - Mid Thigh- Stage One is appropriate for liposuction, abdominal and lower body procedures, as well as for body procedures following gastric bypass or bariatric surgery.

This garment features a 100% latex-free fabric that offers enhanced support and more durable compression performance. The garment's silky and soft fabric is stretchable to make it easier to slip on and off, yet fiercely strong and durable. The fabric is remarkably lightweight and breathable to keep you clean, dry and fresh all day long. The fabric provides the compression control you need to optimize circulation and enhance healing, while giving you the "feel good" comfort that patients demand. This garment has zippers.

Alternate View(s):

Instructions For Use: The garment is typically worn during the second stage (2-8 weeks or longer, depending on the doctor's instructions) of post-surgery recovery. The second stage garment is worn once your first stage garment (first 1-2 weeks of post-op) is no longer appropriate. Generally, the amount of time you will need to wear your garment will be reduced as your move forward in your healing journey. The compression garment is worn like long underwear underneath your clothing. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing over the garment.

Measuring Myself Correctly & Getting The Right Size: Knowing how to measure yourself correctly and getting the right size for your garment is the most crucial step of selecting a garment. For this reason, please view the Size Chart (and read the measuring tips) associated with this garment. Second stage garments are sized smaller, are more fashionable, and have a less bulky appearance than first stage garments.

Garment Care: You may machine wash the garment in cold water only (with like colors), as washing in hot water can ruin the garment. You may also wash the garment by hand in cold water. For drying, tumble dry, low heat or allow the garment to be line-dried.

Applicable Procedures: Liposuction (Lower Abdomen, Flank, Hip, Thigh), Lower Body Procedures, Lower Body Lift, Thigh Lift (Thighplasty), Plastic surgery procedures following Gastric Bypass Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, and Stomach Stapling, Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty).

Network Rail has admitted that not enough trains are running on time as it faces a reported record £70 million fine for poor punctuality.

The Sunday Telegraph reported that it will tell the Office of Rail Regulation tomorrow 89.9% of trains arrived at their destinations on time.

The benchmark target for Network Rail is 92.5% and ORR fines it for every 0.1% it misses by, leaving it facing a fine of around £70 million.

Network Rail said excessive congestion and bad weather had offset improvements made to rail infrastructure.

A spokeswoman said:"Passengers are not currently experiencing the very high levels of train punctuality we had promised.

"While we have been successful in making our infrastructure more reliable, it hasn't been enough to offset the difficulties caused by excessive congestion or bouts of extreme weather.

"Missing our regulatory targets for punctuality is disappointing and our focus for the coming five year period is to restore record levels of performance and spend and invest some £38 billion in our railways targeting the busiest parts of our network to relieve congestion and provide more trains, more seats and quicker, greener journeys."

In February NR agreed to the ORR's plan for the network over the next five years, which would aim to improve punctuality.

It will also aim to bring down the costs of running the railways by 20% for the five-year period starting in April.

NR will have to meet a target of running 90% of trains on time on London, south east England, regional and Scottish services and improving reliability on long-distance trains.

The company is also signing up to improved standards of infrastructure management, network resilience, and safety for passengers and railway workers.

Last November ORR said NR has underspent on maintenance work, deferred plans to renew infrastructure and let engineering work overrun at times.

It said more than half of the the delays on the network were caused by problems attributable to NR, which was facing a possible fine "in excess of £80 million" if long-distance train punctuality did not improve.

An ORR spokeswoman declined to comment on today's reports.

A spokesman for Passenger Focus said: "The £38bn investment for Network Rail over the next five years is welcome, particularly during difficult economic times.

"Passengers should ultimately see an improved rail service bringing the things they tell us they want: improved punctuality, reliable trains with more seats. Punctuality should be a particular focus given the priority passengers give to it."

Course description

Our Public Health MRes programme provides an innovative distance learning research degree that meets the need of researchers in all public health settings, from local authorities to non-governmental organisations in both the UK and worldwide.

The modular nature enables you to design the taught component around your own training needs, and to study this at a distance.

Our programme provides an introduction to research development, mainly for those currently in the healthcare workforce who wish to become researchers or pursue a research pathway within their profession.

This is done through a combination of coursework and research training.

After completing the taught component, you will be supported in carrying out your own research project or full systematic review.

Most of the staff teaching and/or supervising on this programme are from the Institute of Population Health, giving you the opportunity to work alongside international experts in this area.

We offer two MRes programmes, one in Public Health and one in Primary Care. Distinction between the two is based on the course units taken and the research topics chosen.

Our programme is ideal for Academic Clinical Fellows (ACFs) who wish to gain research experience in the field of public health.

For entry in the academic year beginning September 2017, the tuition fees are as follows:

  • MRes (full-time distance learning)
    UK/EU students (per annum): £9,000
    International students (per annum): £17,000
  • MRes (part-time distance learning)
    UK/EU students (per annum): £900 per 15 credits and £3,600 for dissertation
    International students (per annum): £1,700 per 15 credits and £6,800 for dissertation

The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive for the course tuition, administration and computational costs during your studies.

All fees for entry will be subject to a yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of courses lasting more than a year.

For general fees information please visit postgraduate fees . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your qualification award and method of attendance. Please be aware that if you study on a part-time basis, you would not be eligible for the postgraduate loan for English students as the course takes longer than 2 years to complete.

The course fees include all the tuition, technical support and examinations required for the course, but you are likely to incur some additional costs:

  • maximum of one core text book per unit (approximately £30 per book);
  • communication costs for internet use and telephone;
  • a statistical software package (approximately £20).

Core textbooks and a copy of the statistical software are provided free for all international fee-paying students.

Costs may also be incurred for travel, subsistence and accommodation charges during the following optional events or units:

A KEEN walker has astonished wildlife experts by discovering a giant locust from the Sahara Desert living wild in the Lake District.

Richard Ward, 69, found the 4in-long insect frozen in the chilly January air, and took it back to warm it up on a hotel radiator.

The locust, which has been named Lazarus, is now living happily in a jam jar in the garden shed at Mr Ward's home in Disley, Stockport.

Scientists are hoping to discover how it made the long journey from its natural habitat in the Sahara, across Europe and into the Lakes.

Its discovery was made all the more remarkable because the insect - which thrives in temperatures over 20C - was found in the English winter.

Mr Ward, a retired accountant and his wife, Lyn, found the insect near the Belsfield Hotel, at Bowness, where they were staying. They called it Lazarus, after the Biblical character brought back from the dead by Jesus.

Mr Ward said: "I was stunned to find it. At first, I thought it was a grass-hopper or a cricket, but it was just too big.

"I was convinced it was dead, but I touched it and it moved, so I took it into the hotel and it livened up. I brought it home in a jar and took it to our local pet shop, but I couldn't believe it when they told me it was a locust."

Mrs Ward, 61, isn't as keen on Lazarus as her husband is and he has to keep it in the garage. "It's horrible," she said.

Dave Muir, biodiversity project officer with the Cumbria Wildlife Trust, said: "It is the first time we have ever known of a locust arriving in the Lake District.

"If it really is a locust, then it is a very significant find."

Insect expert Dr Mike Copland, of Imperial College, London, added: "A locust's ideal temperature range is between 20 and 30C, so it would be almost unheard of for one to survive our cold winter.

"It's less romantic, but it's more likely that he escaped from a pet shop!"

COUNCIL tenants with rent arrears are being offered 10 per cent off their debt in vouchers if they pay up.

Bury housing officers have sent out letters to 2,000 tenants to try and improve its rent collection rates to meet government targets.

It recently also started a monthly lotto draw for tenants who pay on time.

Cllr Tim Chamberlain, the council's executive member for regeneration and housing, said: "This may sound controversial to some people but is merely one method we are pursuing to help improve our rent collection and is simply a one-off.

"This will not cost taxpayers a penny and, in fact, is likely to save the council money in the long run as well as yielding unpaid rent which can go into the housing revenue account for repairs and other services for all tenants.

"Once tenants receiving the vouchers become reliable payers, they can also qualify for the quarterly draw we have just launched for regular payers.

"We would urge all tenants who are currently in arrears to consider taking up this offer and the help and advice we offer all tenants to help them pay rent regularly."

However, Cllr Chamberlain warned that persistent non-payers would still be pursued through the courts and could lose their homes.

"The voucher scheme is not an easy option," he said. "It is one option and those who refuse to take it will be pursued for non-payment of rent."

If a tenant owed £250 they will get £25 in vouchers if they settle the debt. The maximum a tenant can claim in vouchers is £50.

Tenants in arrears have to register their interest in the voucher scheme by this week.

They will have to pay off all their arrears by the end of September in order to qualify for the vouchers when they are issued in October.

    Fate/Stay Night is definitely one awesome anime, some of the identity revelations were good, but Sabers one had me confused, but it wasn't like it was bad
    The amv is good, it showcases a lot of the action in the series (though I would've liked to have seen more of Archers final battle, one of the best in the series

    Why don't more people read these mangas?

Port of LA breaks ground for West Basin Railyard

port of-LAJANUARY 16, 2013 — Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Port of Los Angeles officials broke ground today on a new intermodal storage railyard that will improve a vital link in the national freight network. The new yard will function as a critical link between the Port of Los Angeles and the Alameda Corridor, providing staging and storage for trains using the corridor.

Construction of the $137.7 million rail project at Berth 200, also known as the West Basin Railyard, will generate about 2,000 direct and indirect jobs. When completed, the new yard will move cargo more safely and efficiently, reduce truck traffic on roads and freeways and improve regional air quality.

The Berth 200 railyard project also enables track space at the TraPac container terminal to serve as TraPac's future on-dock rail facility. With completion of the $365 million in rail, roadway and terminal improvements at TraPac over the next three years, TraPac will join the other seven container terminals at the Port of Los Angeles that offer shippers the speed-to-market advantage of on-dock rail.

"This project creates jobs, reduces pollution and makes our city a better place to live, work and do business," said Mayor Villaraigosa. "The economic and environmental benefits of this investment will be felt across the nation."

"The West Basin Railyard is a model project for how government is supposed to work," said Harbor Commission President Cindy Miscikowski. "We are pooling federal and state grants with Port revenues to improve a critical link in the nation's supply chain and support the kind of sustainable solutions we need to meet our most pressing needs."

"The Port's top priorities are competitive operations, strong relationships and financial strength," said Port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. "This project hits all three marks by allowing us to move cargo more safely and efficiently, making us a better business partner and neighbor to our surrounding communities, and procuring federal and state funding to make the best use of Port dollars."

The railyard will be constructed with $16 million in federal grant money from the U.S. Department of Transportation's highly competitive Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery program known as the "TIGER" Discretionary Grant program. The Port secured $51.2 million from the State Proposition 1B Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) Grant that is administered by Caltrans and $22.1 million from METRO-awarded federal funds. The Port is investing $48.37 million from its Harbor Revenue funds for the project.

Project benefits include:

  • Creating approximately 2,000 direct construction and indirect jobs.
  • Maximizing use of on-dock rail shifts container transport from trucks to on-dock rail, reducing harmful emissions by 593,955 tons over a 20-year period.
  • Improved safety via truck trip reductions on I-710, which has the highest accident rate in California, and via the removal of two at-grade rail-roadway crossings that are impediments between the community and the waterfront area.

The new yard is projected to generate $1 billion in annual state revenues by 2030. When completed, the rail yard will eliminate 2,300 daily truck trips from the Long Beach (710) and Harbor (110) freeways. Utilizing the most up-to-date green and clean Tier IV construction equipment.

The project strengthens the Port's position to maintain and expand discretionary cargo – goods whose owners choose the Port of Los Angeles over competing ports to import and export their products.

The project will be built in two phases. Phase I includes construction of the new yard, support tracks for the TraPac and China Shipping/West Basin Container terminals, double-track connections to the Alameda Corridor and national rail network, and access road improvements. Phase II is due to begin construction in 2013 and includes final rail network connections and vehicle overpasses to eliminate at-grade crossings for safer, more efficient flow of truck and commuter traffic. Both phases are due to be completed in summer 2014.

Construction of the rail project begins on the heels of completion of the Harry Bridges Boulevard Roadway Improvements, a $22 million project also built with federal stimulus dollars.

"This ensemble of roadway, rail and terminal infrastructure is part of the Port's $1.2 billion investment in capital improvements over the next five years that reflect the Port of Los Angeles' commitment to responsible growth and global leadership in international trade," Knatz said.

Funding for the Berth 200/West Basin Railyard project was awarded during the second round of TIGER grants.

TIGER grants are awarded to projects that demonstrate their ability to contribute to the long-term economic competitiveness of the nation, improve the condition of existing transportation facilities and systems, increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the safety of U.S. transportation facilities, and/or enhance the quality of living and working environments in communities through increased transportation choices and connections. Projects that preserve and create jobs and stimulate economic activity are given priority.

Chaori Solar defaults on bond payment

Published: Mar 7, 2014 1:05 p.m. ET

Solar-equipment maker becomes China’s first corporate bond default

BEIJING — A Chinese solar-equipment maker on Friday failed to meet interest payments on a bond, according to a company official there, becoming China’s first domestic corporate bond default.

Liu Tielong, board secretary of Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology Co., said on Friday that it was in default. The heavily indebted company had warned on Tuesday that it wouldn’t be able to meet interest payments totaling 89.8 million yuan ($14.7 million), citing a credit squeeze and its inability to raise enough funds to make the interest payments.

The default, though small in size, marks the first time a Chinese company has defaulted on a bond traded in the mainland, according to Moody’s Investors Service.

So far, the Chinese government and state-owned banks have largely kept risky borrowers afloat by providing bailouts or debt extensions, keeping borrowing costs low for companies with high debt.

Lew: Signs of progress in IMF talks with Egypt

Published: Apr 24, 2013 10:42 a.m. ET

Senior economics reporter

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - There have been signs of progress in talks between the International Monetary Fund and Egyptian officials over a proposed $4.8 billion loan, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Wednesday. "It is a very difficult political moment in Egypt," and hard for the government to raise taxes, Lew said. "But [the Egyptians] have to do something on subsidies and they have to do something on revenues if they are going to have an economically sustainable economy," Lew said. IMF and Egyptian officials met last weekend in Washington for the latest round of talks. The two sides said in a statement that they are working to reach a deal in coming weeks. "It would be very much in the U.S. best interest for Egypt to be on a more sustainable course, and I think the IMF is pushing very hard in that direction," Lew said at a hearing of the House Appropriation panel's subcommittee on state and foreign operations. An IMF deal would "lay the foundation" for talks on U.S. bilateral assistance, he added.

Russia's Severstal swings to 2009 net loss

Published: Mar 9, 2010 2:32 a.m. ET

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Russian steel producer Severstal SVST, -4.89% SVJT reported Tuesday a net loss of $1.04 billion in 2009, compared with a net profit of $2.03 billion in 2008. Sales dropped to $13.05 billion from $22.4 billion. Analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires expected a net loss of $724 million and revenue of $12.9 billion. "Solid economic growth in emerging markets and a gradual recovery of demand in mature markets have improved the outlook for 2010," said Alexey Mordashov, chief executive of Severstal, in a statement. Also, "growing demand from China for raw materials has already led to higher spot prices for iron ore and coking coal in 2010, a trend we believe will be sustained during the year," he said.

SembMarine to pay Societe Generale $115 mln to settle forex losses

Published: Nov 19, 2007 6:03 a.m. ET

SINGAPORE (MarketWatch) -- SembCorp Marine Ltd. (S51.SG) will pay France's Societe Generale (13080.FR) US$115.45 million to settle part of a US$303 million loss linked to foreign exchange trades made by its former finance director.

The payment marks the first step toward owning up to losses allegedly made by Wee Sing Guan, who was fired last month. SembCorp Marine has closed out the positions but has been criticized for failing to provide details on the nature of the transactions.

In a statement Monday, SembCorp Marine also said it injected S$300 million (US$207 million) into Jurong Shipyard, the subsidiary that engaged in the transactions.

A portion of the injection will be paid to Societe Generale to cover losses as well as interest on the outstanding obligation.

Analysts said the recapitalization of Jurong Shipyard is a welcome move to take responsibility for the losses - which exceeded the company's entire net profit of S$238.4 million (US$164 million) made in 2006.

"It shows a little more transparency on the part of the company," said Lisa Lee, an analyst at Nomura Securities in Singapore.

SembCorp Marine did not book any of the losses in the third quarter ended Sep. 30, but Monday's announcement suggests the company will soon account for the impact.

"I expect them to book all or part of the US$303 million in the fourth quarter," said Nomura's Lee.

Another analyst, who asked not to be named, said he has factored the entire loss into his valuation of the company.

"I have written off the entire US$303 million and the market should write it off as well," he said.

"SembCorp Marine has certainly got a team of lawyers working to recoup some of the money, but unless they find a loophole, the odds of getting anything back are almost zero."

SembCorp Marine said it is in talks with other banks among the 11 institutions involved in the trades, but it maintains the transactions are not binding.

The company has not identified any parties besides Wee who were involved in the investigation.

U.S. stocks open down sharply on worries over GM bankruptcy

Published: Mar 30, 2009 9:40 a.m. ET

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks opened sharply lower Monday after the White House said bankruptcy was a possibility for General Motors Corp. and Chrysler. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.05% was down 195 points, or 2.6%, at 7,582. Shares of GM, a Dow component, slumped 25% to $2.72 in early action. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.15% lost 20 points, or 2.6%, to 794, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.17% fell 35 points, or 2.3%, to 1,509. The White House said a structured bankruptcy plan for the two automakers could give them their "best chance at success". The government rejected viability plans the automakers submitted in response to requests for government loans.
