Award winning groomers

City & Guilds 7863-03 Diploma in Dog Grooming is listed on the Ofqual register as a vocationally related qualification. This means it is designed to enable the learner to acquire knowledge and skills that are required by the National Occupation Standards (NOS) to be able to perform a specific job.A Level 3 qualification is classed as a supervisory/business management role and is equivalent to a school ‘A’ Level.
As a highly respected awarding body, City & Guilds is recognised worldwide and has strict quality assurance procedures.
The City &Guilds Dog Grooming Level 3 qualification has been established for over 30 years and is reviewed on a regular basis to reflect the requirements of the industry.
There have been many different qualifications available for dog grooming over the years but it is City & Guilds that is recognised by the general public as a stamp of quality for vocational qualifications.
All City & Guilds vocational qualifications are assessed through a range of methods - practical assessments, written assessments/assignmentsand written examinations.These are all set by City & Guilds with detailed outcomes and grading criteria and all City & Guilds approved centres, satellite centres and assessment sites MUST follow them, therefore the qualification is nationally standardised.
Some dog grooming qualifications are assessed through portfolio evidence and have no formally set assessment procedures, the assessments are created and written by each centre that offers that qualification; this means there could be a lack of continuity of standards across the country. Quite often there are no entry requirements to complete other Level 3 qualifications.
It is a prerequisite by City & Guilds to hold the 7763-02 Groomers Assistant qualification before registration onto the City &GuildsLevel 3 Diploma. Level 2 covers all areas of preparation and welfare of the animal, a vital part to any potential groomer’s knowledge.
The underpinning knowledge required for the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming is extremely detailed. All aspects of dog grooming - health and safety, legislations, risk and hazards, animal welfare and other legislations relating to animals, health, anatomy and physiology, first aid, parasites, diseases/disorders/disabilities, behaviour, handling and restraints, styling and finishing various coat types/breeds &cross breeds, customer care, management and finance are covered.
Summit and its satellite centres have built a reputation as being top quality centres offering high standards of training and qualifications. All centres have been personally approved by Joanne Angus LCGI and Zoe Duffy LCGI, who are two of the most highly qualified and experienced dog groomers in the industry.
Procedures that are set by Summit and City & Guilds give support and guidance to both the satellite centres and the student regarding the available qualifications.
Summit students can be confident that they will receive the best training and a smooth qualification process when they select a Summit satellite centre as their training school and City and Guilds as their chosen qualification.

It is our belief that diet plays a major part in this. Devon is fed on Wafcol Salmon & Potato small/medium dog.  Healthy on the inside means healthy on the outside and you only have to look at devon to see this.  Her snow white coat, bright eyes & health weight speaks for itself.

Michigan’s New Law Acknowledges Vulnerable Users. But Is That Enough?

Ask any official what will make roads safer for vulnerable users and “education” invariably tops their list. That’s a funny term because dangerous driving is rarely addressed through a curriculum. More often, officials are actually referring to public awareness campaigns — i.e. billboards, TV ads and web content that battle for public attention. Thanks to the Nathan Bower Act, signed in October, Michigan driver’s ed courses are now required to address bicycle and motorcycle awareness. The new law pays tribute to a young motorcyclists of the same name who died in a car collision.
Image of Nathan Bower via Facebook
Image of Nathan Bower via Facebook
Many advocates, including John Lindenmayer of the League of Michigan Bicyclists, are celebrating Nathan’s law as a “great step forward” in the rights of vulnerable road users. But there are reasons to demand more. Fewer teens are enrolling in driver’s ed courses. Furthermore, while Michigan’s cycle-commuting rate remains below the national average (Census 2012, American Community Survey), the state’s traffic safety record is pretty dismal – 27 of the recorded traffic fatalities and nearly 1,500 injuries were bicyclists in 2013. The law does little to reverse those numbers. Real change looks more like House Bill 4792, a proposed state legislation that passed unanimously in committee but has yet to reach the floor. The bill would make it possible to charge an at-fault motorist with a crime if they cause bodily harm to a vulnerable road user. That means motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair-bound persons, and tractor operators traveling in the road, would enjoy the same legal protection as highway construction workers. Currently, Michigan’s traffic laws are like most in the U.S: The only potential legal recourse for killing a vulnerable road user is a traffic ticket. If we are truly committed to safer roads, law makers must move forward on this kind of policy reform. In the meantime, Nathan’s law does something motorcyclists and cyclists have been demanding for years — it acknowledges they have the right to be there.

How to Keep Your Food Cool While Camping

How to Keep Your Food Cool While CampingWhen camping, it is imperative to keep your food properly stored. This is especially true if you bring food items that will spoil if not kept cold. Having a proper cooler is probably the most important step in keeping your food cold for a long period of time. With a little preplanning, you should be able to hold any type of food for days without it spoiling.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:
  • Cooler
  • Frozen ice bottles
  • Ice bags
Step 1
Plan your menu of the meals you intend on having while on your camping trip. This will give you an idea of how many refrigerated items you will have to keep cold. You will then be able to choose what cooler will best fit your needs.
Step 2
Choose a cooler that will allow your food to take up no more than 60 percent of the inside storage space. This is especially important if you plan on storing food for 3 days or more. The more space that is left inside the cooler, the more space you'll have to insert ice. Designate a cooler for food and one for drinks. By combining a food and drink cooler together, you'll lose more cold air when people open it frequently.
Step 3
Freeze any meat products that you won't be using your first day at camp. If you're bringing items such as bacon, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and anything else that might spoil if proper refrigeration isn't maintained, freeze them and allow them to thaw naturally in the cooler. This will keep your food safe longer and will also keep your cooler colder at the same time.
Step 4
Fill plastic bottles with water and freeze them. Any type of drink bottle will do, but the flatter it is shaped, the easier it will be to set something on top of it in the cooler. It will take quite a few days for the bottles to melt and will prolong the coolness of your food and the cooler. You can also freeze single-serving water bottles and place them around the open areas inside of the cooler. They can then be used to take on a hike.
Step 5
Place items that need to be cold but not frozen against the frozen bottles of water. Place items such as eggs, cheese, and vegetables in a plastic container and sit on top of one of the frozen water bottles. Items such as milk or juice can be placed directly against the bottles to keep them cold. Take up any extra space in the cooler with a bag or two of ice.

Press Still Reacting to Sarah Palin Katie Couric Interview

 - Sep 27, 2008
Regardless of the results of the 2008 Presidential debates, the republican party has lots to worry about as their golden ticket, Sarah Palin, is getting slaughtered by the media after her disastrous interview with Katie Couric (featured earlier on Trend Hunter HERE).

Even Pro-Republicans can’t deny that the interview with Katie Couric proves Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to the republican party. Kathleen Parker who writes in the National Review goes as far as suggesting Sarah Palin should step down as John McCain’s running mate.

"Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson (ABC News), Sean Hannity (Fox News) and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League," Parker said.

In the interview, Sarah Palin struggled to provide examples of legislative action taken by McCain that could have avoided the credit crisis, "I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you," Palin said to interviewer Katie Couric.

Sarah Palin again emphasized that Alaska’s geographic location is proof of her world knowledge, "Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of."

"It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state," Sarah Palin explained, adding that when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin "rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska."

Securing Your Website and Search Rankings

Posted by Nikki Wardle on May 4, 2015 11:09:37 AM

SEO and Website Security

Almost a year ago, Google made an announcement on its Webmaster blog that HTTPS will start being used as a search ranking signal. Their reasoning is that Google would like to see more security on the web to deter hackers. But what exactly does that mean, "HTTPS," for those of us who don't do on-line transactions or collect sensative information?

First, let us address what exactyly HTTP and HTTPS are. Here is what it looks like: (no encryption) (site is encrypted)

The difference is the "s" at the end of http. So to spell it all out, the first website example is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The second site example is Hyper Test Trasfer Protocol Secure. Most sites that do not do any ecommerce or collect sensetive personal informatiom have a regualar HTTP website. Meaning that the information passed between the website and the browser is not encrypted. It almost sounds a little ridiculous to encrypt your site when the only information shared is product or service information.  So why do it?

Your Future Website Should Include HTTPS

Google has made it clear that having a secure site is a relativly small percentage of search ranking factors. As far as search engine optimization is concerned, there are many, many, many more search ranking factors that you need to focus on to get your site recognized. However, it would be wise to include getting an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) the next time you redesign or do any kind of major overhaul to your website. I suspect that as website security becomes more important and hackers get more aggressive, Google will adjust its search factor weights accordingly. Better to be ahead of the game then playing catch-up.

Evictions – What Not to Do

No landlord wants an eviction. That being said, they do often and sometimes unexpectedly occur. Tenants may behave very well during the first year’s tenancy, only to become a menace the following year. Whatever the cause of the need to evict, it remains paramount to follow the correct legal process. Failure to abide by standard legal procedures results in delay and added cost, often substantial, on your behalf.

There is no one set of rules for evictions. The legal process differs on a state-by-state basis. However, there are certain common legal threads that weave their way through the entire process; it is those mistakes that we review in today’s blog. One of the most common mistakes made by landlords is that they assume that, because they own the property, they can remove the tenant as they see fit. After all, they own the property, right?

Evicting tenants; the wrong way

However tempting it may be, you cannot evict the tenant on your own terms.

You must follow the letter of the law at all times. You cannot, under any circumstances, attempt to remove the tenant, or threaten to remove the tenant. By law, you have no right to act in this manner. The tenancy agreement is, after all, an agreement bound by both sides. Both the landlord and the tenant need to adhere to the contract they originally agreed to abide by.

For example – it would be wholly inappropriate for the landlord to remove the tenant’s belongings from the property. It would also be improper for the landlord to physically remove the tenant or threaten the tenant to leave the property. Landlords cannot interfere with the function of utilities, such as water and electricity. In addition, landlords are not permitted to change locks.

The underlying principle is this – that removing the tenant must be done in accordance with the law and courts, not on the physical and emotional whims of the landlord. If, as the landlord believes, the tenant has done wrong – then there is no need to remove the tenant by these means anyway; the law is there to do precisely that. Landlords who flout the above regulations are liable for more costs and even more delay in evicting the tenant to find a more suitable, long-term replacement.

Don’t forget – the tenant can also pursue legal action against the landlord for any of the above actions they take.

Making the right move

Bad tenants make for a bad investment. It’s understandable why landlords get so exercised. Tenants who fail to pay their rent become a financial and stress-ridden liability. They become a nuisance. It’s easy for landlords to turn to alternative, quick solutions – like those listed above – to evict the tenant as they see fit. But, as we have learned, it only results in more cost, more stress and more delays in both the short and long-term.

There have been harrowing cases where tenants respond violently to the actions of their landlord. For instance, there have been cases where landlords would turn off utilities and confront the tenant. Unhappy with the landlord, believing themselves to be right, they responded aggressively. It resulted in the death of the landlord. Though these cases are rare, it’s worth emphasising that you never really know how a tenant may respond. They could be going through personally challenging times and may, as a result, react disproportionately.

As one of the leading property management companies in Las Vegas, we have dealt with many cases of eviction. Some eviction cases are, of course, easier to manage than others; it depends how the tenant responds to your otherwise calm, reflective and – most importantly – law-abiding course of action. A tenant is more likely to be intimidated by the full weight of the law more than the threats and actions you take. The law is, after all, on your side.

Triumph is the leading property management company in Las Vegas. Be sure to check back to our blog soon for even more tips and tricks that you, as a landlord, can take to manage your investment not only the right way but the best way, too.

This must be done on the hardest difficulty. Remember once again you can save at any point and quit and reload if needed.To kill the chopper you must hit the glowing nose section multiple times. As the chopper first comes down and then starts to rise again you can get usually 3 hits, sometimes 4 if your lucky. Now some yellow ninjas will come out of it, as soon as they do crouch and fire stars fast and you will kill them quickly but be careful because as the chopper starts to come down again it fires rockets which have to be jumped over. Now use your magic and the chopper should only have 2 hit points left, move to the far left hand corner and another couple of accurate hits as it comes down again should see it off.

City Week

Happy Trails!

Last December, when four wranglers at the White Stallion Ranch were sitting down to dinner, they came up with the idea of spending the summer riding the Arizona Trail--which stretches from the Arizona-Mexico border to the Arizona-Utah--on horseback.

"We said, 'Shoot, we should do it,'" said Heather Blakeney, one of the riders. "We tossed the idea around and then just started planning."

Blakeney and her brother Jason, along with J.C. Hobbs and Steven True, are preparing to set out on the ride by the first week of July.

"The biggest obstacle right now is water," Jason Blakeney said. The riders plan on having 3 gallons per day for each horse, and 1 gallon each day per person. That's a lot of water over a six- to seven-week trip, so the riders will have a support team drop water off at designated spots every 20 to 25 miles along the trail.

The riders plan to take two days out of each week to rest the horses and pick up extra supplies before spending another five days on the trail.

The riders are having a dinner at the ranch to raise the rest of the money they need for the 800-mile trip. They need money for things like gas (for the support team to drive to the drop-off points), food and other supplies.

The dinner--roast beef and vegetables cooked in an outdoor oven--will be served at 7 p.m. for $25 per person. Hors d'oeuvres will be served at 6 p.m., and if you get there early enough, you can catch the ranch's weekly rodeo at 4 p.m. --T.M.

Father's Day Takes Off

9 A.M TO 5 P.M., SUNDAY, JUNE 17

If your dad wants a little more than a day relaxing around the house for Father's Day, then take him to check out the planes at the Pima Air and Space Museum.

Admission for Dad is free on Father's Day, and two fighter jets--the F-14 Tomcat and the F-105 Wild Weasel--will have open cockpits all day. In other words, anyone can climb inside and look around from the pilot's perspective.

Both the F-14--the kind of plane seen in the movie Top Gun--and the F-105 were flown in Vietnam.

"Even the big kids, the adults, get excited when they get to sit in the cockpit," said Brian Ewenson, educational director for the Pima Air and Space Museum.

Arizona Street Machines will also have a car show, with more than 40 souped-up street rods and classic cars from various decades in the museum's Hangar 4.

Earlier this month, the museum opened the Spirit of Freedom hangar to house some of the museum's biggest and rarest planes. The new hangar is home to the SR-71 Blackbird, a spy plane designed to take photos while flying over enemy territory; the "tank-killer" A-10 Thunderbolt; and the last PBM-5A--a "flying boat" used in World War II--in existence.

Admission to the museum is $11.75 for adults, $9.75 for seniors and military members, $8 for kids 7-12, and free for kids younger than 6--and dads are let in for free on Father's Day. The last tickets are sold at 4 p.m. --T.M.

Something DifferentFrom a DeWalt Drill

10 A.M. TO 3 P.M., SATURDAY, JUNE 16

This Saturday, Wild Oats Natural Market is celebrating Father's Day a day early by hosting the store's first Men's Health Fair, which promises to be replete with good, holistic fun for all those special dads out there.

An assortment of natural health-care practitioners will be on site dispensing health-care literature, answering questions and offering free minor medical examinations.

The lofty list of practitioners includes a naturopathic doctor, two nutritionists, members of the Falun Dafa organization and a masseur who will be giving free cranial sacral massages.

The Rising Sun Life Center will also have a biofeedback machine on scene to conduct emotional and physical health analyses, and Allarah Lavelle, president of the Hypnodyne Foundation, will offer hypnotherapy sessions.

"The hypnotherapy sessions will not only show people how to relieve mental and physical imbalances they have, but can also help them with issues such as quitting smoking," said Gail Sutton, Wild Oats marketing and demo coordinator.

In addition to these services, there will be abundant food samples along with two wine tastings. The first tasting will showcase a variety of organic wines and will be held between noon and 2 p.m.; the second tasting will be from 3 to 6 p.m. and will feature an array of South African wines. Both wine tastings will be accompanied with organic cheese and fruits.

There will also be a drawing for a surprise gift bag containing men's health products valued at $75. All Men's Health Fair services will be free of charge. --S.S.

Friendly Competition

In a world where so much energy is spent dividing us, it's nice to see the occasional counterforce. This week, Tucson will play host to one such event, as the International Hispanic Games roll into town.

The games will feature 14 sporting events held at various venues across Tucson and will feature athletes of all ages and abilities from both Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.

The games are the only international amateur sporting event of their kind in the United States and are a collaboration between the Grand Canyon State Games and the Arizona/Mexico Commission--a binational nonprofit organization that advocates for the well-being of Arizonans though developing cooperative relationships with Mexico.

Erik Widmark, executive director of the GCSG, said the newly developed program functions as an athletic exchange program between Sonora, Mexico, and Arizona.

"We have a firm belief that sports can help bridge the gap between cultures," Widmark said.

The top three finishers in each of the sporting events will advance to a national competition being held in Colorado Springs, Colo., this August. The national competition is part of the National Congress of State Games and will pit the IHG winners against athletes from 37 other states.

Although the name would indicate it is a Hispanic event, Widmark said anyone can participate, and the name simply references the internationalism of the games.

Dead Can Dance

The Day of the Dead mingles all kinds of worlds.

The Day of the Dead will be here soon. Have fun. No. Seriously. Plan to celebrate between October 31 and November 2 because that's what Día de los Muertos is all about. While it represents a clash of pagan and Christian beliefs, its message is of death as a continuance, not an end.

The Day of the Dead is an indigenous Mexican occasion that celebrates death by celebrating life. Instilled into native populations of Mexico by Spanish missionaries, the holiday shares the date and religious overtones of All Souls' Day, but its roots are firmly planted in native folklore and tradition. Scholars call the annual event one of Mexico's most wondrous celebrations, merging Spanish and European traditions with ancient superstitions of cultures that date back as far as 300 B.C. The day is intended to perpetuate the belief of a circle of life in which death plays a part and is not to be feared.

Although it might sound like a morbid mixed metaphor, Mexicans react to death with mourning commingled with happiness and joy. "They look at death with the same fear as any other culture, but there is a difference," says author/historian Aracely Hernandez. "They mitigate their fear by living alongside death and learning to accept it as a part of their lives."

"My kids are sixth-generation Tucsonans," says Roberto Rosaldo, "but my father [the late Renato Rosaldo, head of Romance languages at the UA], who was born in Vera Cruz, made sure each generation of the family knew what Día de los Muertos was all about. My family will visit graves in Amado and San Xavier this month, and other relatives will conduct similar observances at graves south of the border."

Lupe Valenzuela, who also has family on both sides of the international border, says, "I was 5 years old the first time I was taken along to the family plot in Sonora, Mexico. I was soooo scared because I kept thinking I would see ghosts."

The concept of ghosts, not the actual seeing of them but the ability to communicate with loved ones on "the other side," is an integral part of the festivities. Events associated with the Day of the Dead mark a special occasion when the living have an opportunity to show respect for their deceased relatives, whose spirits are expected to return to their homes. In fact, the bright yellow flowers symbolic of the pageantry come from an Aztec tradition hundreds of years old where flower petals are sprinkled on graves and the road back home so departed souls can retrace their path to the family residence.

Unique altars are created to hold personal mementos as offerings to the returning souls and contain such things as the traditional yellow marigolds, candles and religious pictures. Alcohol, cigarettes, toys or food such as tamales are also offered as familiar things that the returning soul enjoyed during his or her life. It is believed that the spirits of children and adults alike go away weeping if nothing is left as an offering. Candles are placed with the offerings (ofrendas) to both light and guide the way of the souls to the altars.

Now a grown man, Alejandro Martinez wasn't worried about the spirit world in his first cemetery visit at age 5--he was having too much fun with the music and parade that led to the graveyard. "By the time we finished cleaning the tombs, I got the feeling my grandparents were present among the rest of the family and joining with us in the festivities."

Rosaldo's memories go back half a century and the impressions are so vivid he has almost total recall. "Before she died at age 93, my grandmother would put up an altar display each year that eventually took on a life of its own," he says. "I remember every detail right down to the pattern of the white lace tablecloth. Right after Mexico's Independence Day (September 16), she'd start setting the display up like a nativity scene, putting out pictures of all the relatives who were gone and keeping the shrine continuously lit with candles. She'd put out favorite foods of the deceased and their favorite beverages. Sometimes when she would pass by the altar, she'd announce that, 'Uncle Carlos would appreciate it if we drank to his memory,' and she'd toss one down with respectful reverence for the deceased."

Notes folklorist "Big Jim" Griffith of the UA's Southwest Center, "It seems logical that a culture that places such a strong emphasis on family would evolve ways of expressing the importance of family members who are no longer living." On both sides of the border at Nogales, "observances are focused much more on family continuity, with little attention being paid to death itself. Relatives gather to clean, refurbish and decorate their family graves, and perhaps spend some social time together with their dead," he writes in his book, A Shared Space.

Griffith calls border communities places of "cultural negotiation" and cites the dynamics at Ambos Nogales as one example of a mixture of "accommodation and polarization ... stability and change." Over centuries these cultures have clashed on the timing and significance of the observance. Although "Anglos have been in social, political and economic control of Southern Arizona" since the late 1800s, says Griffith, he stresses the importance of realizing that some traditions in the Mexican and Indian cultures are maintained on both sides of the border. "New folks arrive from Mexico every day as permanent residents, and they bring their own traditions, including a deep respect for extended family."

Alfonso Valenzuela, a native of Pirtleville near the Douglas/Agua Prieta border, remembers the resourcefulness of large families with little money. "I scoured the stockyards outside town to bring home bailing wire left by cowboys. We used it for hoops for the hand-made coronas [paper wreaths] we used to decorate the graves."

The annual clean-up of family plots at the panteon (cemetery) was an event involving everyone in Valenzuela's family of nine. "This was a festive outing and a way of expressing appreciation to our beloved departed ones," he says. "It's a carnivalesque, but not macabre, way of celebrating life. Death is a part of life, and death is commonly viewed as just the beginning of another phase."

Tucson, one of Hispanic Magazine's Top Ten Cities for Hispanics, will offer numerous Día de los Muertos commemorations. Examples of folk art can traditionally be found at the Arizona Historical Society, 949 E. Second St., or the Kaibab Courtyard Shops and the Obsidian Gallery, both on North Campbell Avenue. In the downtown Old Town Artisans complex, check out an elaborate altar display at Tolteca Tlacuilo, 186 N. Meyer Ave.

Intel and Apple – Who Cares?

Ok, so everyone cares, however most are making to big of a deal about it. In reality, consumers don’t have anything to worry about.

Apple will be switching to processors in about a year and it is a big change. Big for Apple. However they are commented to it and have already created a program to allow developers to easily port their applications over. The biggest changes will happen with Apple and the developers, not the general public.

So what do we have to worry about? Nothing really. The PowerPC processors that are in all Macs today will continue to be supported for years to come. What we are coming to is a transitional phase where PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs will live happily together. Programs will run on both and the PowerPC will be probably supported until 2010 or even later.

It’s like when we went from OS9 to OSX. Support for OS9 didn’t really die off until about two years after OSX was released. Heck some still run OS9 today. Still, software is a different deal than hardware. Since software took about 2 years, hardware will need to take at least twice as long. My bet is five years or more. That means that an Mac out there today, or bought in the next year, would be fully supported until 2011.

Ok, so it’s all speculation. However Apple knows that this is a big switch and they need to make it as easy on the customers as possible. We won’t know for sure until Apple gives more details, however I don’t think that there is anything to worry about.

• Send some Blazer spirit with the UAB Stickers app
  • Update your information in Profiles - Introducing Scholars at UAB

Nominations Now Open

Nominations for the Ellen Gregg Ingalls/UAB National Alumni Society Award for Lifetime Achievement in Teaching and the Odessa Woolfolk Community Service Award are now open.

Faculty Senate meeting scheduled for June 12

Attendance is open to all UAB faculty. The agenda will include an open forum for faculty concerns.

  1. How do I know when it is acceptable for me to place my ad with a publication?

    The Faculty Recruitment Requisition initiator (i.e. Search Chair/Hiring Manager Role in UAB PeopleAdmin) receives an email notification when the Faculty Recruitment Requisition has been fully approved.At this point, you can place your ad with a media source/publication. Additionally, this is your confirmation that the posting is live at UAB Faculty Jobs.
  2. Does UAB offer external resources for faculty recruitment advertisements?

    Yes. The University of Alabama at Birmingham has partnered with Graystone Group Advertising and HigherEdJobs.com to offer our departments and units additional resources for faculty recruitment advertisement placements. See guidelines here.
  3. How can I get a faculty position posted to the UAB Human Resources Careers Web site?

    All faculty positions are posted to UAB Faculty Jobs once the Faculty Recruitment Request has been fully approved.
  4. How can I get assistance creating a faculty recruitment ad?

    UAB offers faculty recruitment advertisement templates and; Graystone Group Advertising can offer one-on-one assistance to create advertisement copy and layout that will meet university’s faculty advertisements requirements and UAB Branding Standards.
  5. When might I not need to advertise a faculty position?

    02- Full-time temporary, 04- Irregular, and 60-Volunteer faculty positions do not require advertisement.  However, some departments may choose to advertise for full-time temporary (especially visiting) faculty positions.
  6. What if I am searching for multiple faculty candidates/filling multiple faculty positions?

    If you are searching for multiple faculty positions, one advertisement is sufficient for all, provided that all of the “required elements” are included in the ad. And, the ad must specific that multiple positions are open for recruitment. You can indicate in the UAB PeopleAdmin Requisition the number of positions that you are recruiting for.  Faculty Affairs team will work with departments to manage this process.
  7. How do I know that my faculty advertisement is in compliance?

    A faculty recruitment advertisement meets compliance standards, if:
    1. It has been reviewed and approved by the Equity Advisor (formerly Affirmative Action Officer);
    2. It was placed in two national publications that have a broad circulation (or one publication for two runs);
    3. The advertisement has been placed for a minimum of 30 days;
    4. It contains the university’s approved affirmative action/diversity and inclusion statement – UAB is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and family-friendly environment in which all faculty and staff can excel and achieve work/life balance irrespective of ethnicity, gender, faith, gender identity and expression as well as sexual orientation. UAB also encourages applications from individuals with disabilities and veterans.
  8. Where can I find sample faculty recruitment advertisements?

    Here are some sample faculty recruitment advertisements. The sample advertisements meet the required UAB style, branding, and content guidelines.
  9. What if I am using a search firm to handle the recruitment of a faculty position?

    UAB departments often utilize the services of a recruitment search firm (i.e. Quick, Leonard & Kieffer; Greenwood & Associates; Russell Reynolds Associates, etc.) to manage their faculty recruitment process. This practice is acceptable by the university.  However, all university, federal and state guidelines must be adhered to just the same as if the search is managed internally.

UBS expects stronger GDP growth of 2.3% in 2006

Zurich / Basel Media Releases Switzerland

The Swiss economy is enjoying a fast pace of growth thanks to the marked recovery seen since the middle of 2005. In view of the persistently favourable global economic situation, UBS economists are raising their 2006 GDP growth forecast for Switzerland from 2.0% to 2.3%.

Gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 2.7% year-on-year in the final quarter of 2005, thereby reaching its highest rate of growth since the first quarter of 2001. The very encouraging industrial performance, the upturn in consumer sentiment and the increasingly improved job market situation all point to similarly strong economic momentum for the time being. The export sector especially is benefiting from the persistently favourable global economic environment and in particular from the burgeoning industrial activity in Europe. There is unlikely to be much of a slowdown in the rapid expansion until the second half of the year. According to UBS economists, Switzerland may achieve an average 2.3% real GDP growth in 2006.

The revised forecast primarily relates to exports and capital spending. UBS anticipates that exports will remain a key growth driver in 2006 and in particular that European demand will be somewhat higher than previously assumed. While the expected slowdown in US growth is likely to impact on Europe and Switzerland as well, the effects will not be evident until the second half of the year at the earliest. Equipment spending is also set to increase somewhat more strongly than previously expected in 2006, boosted by improved sales and earnings situation and increasing capacity utilization. Finally construction spending should also remain solid, albeit slightly less dynamic than in the two previous years, thanks to the continuing high level of residential construction.

The outlook for private consumption is entirely positive at present. Following on from the clear upturn in sentiment evident for some time in the corporate world, confidence has now filtered through to private households as well. The renewed confidence has been driven in particular by greater job security and the outlook for wage increases in Switzerland. Indicators point to further improvements in the job market situation, with unemployment set to fall to an average of 3.4% in 2006 and 3.2% in 2007.

Inflationary pressure remains low despite the higher growth. Although the annual inflation rate peaked at 1.4% in February 2006, core inflation, which strips out volatile components such as food, energy and fuels, remains at a very low level of just below 0.5%. The main factor pushing up inflation over the winter months was the unexpectedly sharp rise in oil prices, but pressure from this area is likely to ease as the year progresses. UBS expects to see an average inflation rate of 0.8% in 2006, rising to only marginally above 1% in 2007.

In view of the healthy state of the economy, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will take further advantage of the scope to lift its key interest rate from its historic lows. Given the low inflation forecasts, however, the SNB is likely to remain on a rather moderate course. UBS expects a further rate hike of 25 basis points in June, followed by a pause. As a result, the forecast for the three-month money market rate at the end of 2006 is 1.6%.

The yield increase at the long end is set to be moderate due to the very low inflation expectations. UBS expects the yield on ten-year government bonds to rise only moderately to 2.5% by the end of 2006. Yields are likely to trend sideways thereafter due to the weaker economy worldwide.
