The Witcher Summary
The Witcher Review
The Witcher has employed the dark imagination of a fantasy writer to carve some genuine depth of plot and character from the shapeless, malleable clay of the single person RPG.
Latest Updates

The Author Of 'The Witcher' Doesn't Recieve Any Royalties From Its Continued Success
For some, the knowledge the The Witcher franchise is based on a book comes as a surprise. To others, not so much. But either way, the unanimous decision would that the author Andrzej Sapkowski would have a rather impressive bank balance at this point. Not true.

I was taking a walk around my neighborhood recently and was befriended by a six-year-old girl. This charming child decided to impart her life wisdom on me. Here are the lessons I learned:
1. It's natural to feel good about yourself. I told my new friend that she had pretty eyes. She looked up at me and said, "I know". There was no question for her, no debate, and no dismissal. She accepted the comment because, to her, it was natural to feel good about herself. I began to wonder; at what point in the development of our children do we teach them not to appreciate their finer qualities. At what point do we teach children to feel badly about themselves? Appreciate yourself every day. Feel good about yourself --, it's natural.
2. Promote your strengths. At one point during our conversation, my new friend looked at me and said, "You know, I can run really fast." She was good at things, and she wanted to make sure that I knew it. I wonder, why do we tell ourselves that it is not good to promote what we're good at? At what point do we change from being proud of our strengths, to hiding our best qualities. Can you remember the last time you gave someone a compliment and they did not just dismiss the comment? I can't. The next time someone thanks you or acknowledges an accomplishment, say thank you and pat yourself on the back. Feel good about your strengths and they will serve you well.
3. Find enjoyment in everything. My friend found enjoyment in everything from school, to friends, to her family. Her joys were simple things, like riding her bike, passing a test, and swinging on the swing sets. Find joy in the simple things, appreciate them, and be grateful for them. You will find that your world starts to look like a much better place.
4. Be active. In the 20 minutes we spent together, my new friend walked the balance beam, swung on the swing sets, rode her bike, and demonstrated her running skills. She never sat still. I believe it is our body's natural desire to be active. Let your body fulfill its purpose. Get some activity. The benefits you receive will be long and many.
5. Have Fun. I asked her what she likes to do and Her response was, "I like to have fun!". I think that sums up the conversation into a powerful message; Do what brings you joy and have fun.
Sometimes the most profound lessons are the simplest ones. I went out for a walk and got a lesson in life.

Man's Greatest Pursuit Series
Contributed by Steve Malone on Jun 28, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: In this message we will look at man's greatest pursuit, pursuing God.
Man's Greatest Pursuit
Drawing Nearer (2)
Play the guitar… (mention that you have something special for them and that you knew all week that this moment was coming)… NOW – there really is a point to what I just did and as you probably figured out it is not to display my great musical talent.
ALRIGHT – week 2 of Deeper Impact is underway… Do you have your Bible? Your study notes? Now you will notice that your notes have holes punched in them, that is because I want you to pick up a three ringer binder and put your notes in them… AND – you may want to get one like this… Because we have a guy working on some graphics for Deeper Impact and pretty soon we will have something pretty cool to slip in front…
NOW TONIGHT - I am going to do a better job of giving you time to turn in your bibles… I will be reading from the NIV primarily. BUT - occasionally I will read a passage from another version, when I think it gives the text a different flavor… AND - the texts that are not from the NIV, will be in your notes and/or on the screen…
HEY – IF you would turn to the person next to you and tell them how your week was? On a scale from zero to ten, ten being like you step on the scale this morning and you lost 15 pounds… AND – one being like you stepped on the scale and it said, "are you sure you want to do this.." HEY - I had a good week, thanks for asking… NOW - it wasn't that good, but it was a good week.
IF – you were here last Wednesday night, would you raise your hands…
NOW – you don't have to raise your hands on this one (unless you really want to), BUT – for those who just had their hands in the air did you do your homework?
Did you…
1) Spend some time (during the last 7 days) looking at creation. Looking up in the sky (and allowing yourself to be blown away by the greatness of your God). Do you slow down and really look at a few sunrises or sunsets, or look up and look at the stars?
2) Reminding yourself that the Lord of all creation wants to draw close to you
3) Reflecting on the kind of life that God wants to breathe into you…
4) Stay hungry
AND – did you do your Extra Credit – did you pray for the person whose name was on the card you picked up (and by the way there are more cards this week…)
NOW LAST WEEK – as I began laying the foundation for our studies on drawing nearer to God through Spiritual Disciplines … My Goal was pretty simple
#1 to REMIND you of how great your God is!
HE – is huge! HE – is mighty! HE – is the King of kings and the LORD of lords…HE – is the creator of all we see… With just a word… HE – brought into existence all that we see.
AND – #2 to I wanted you to realize, to accept the awesome truth that this all powerful, all knowing, all present King of glory wants to draw closer to you… (He 'really' does). AND LISTEN – no matter how close you think He is in your life right now; Yahweh, the Great I Am, longs to draw closer…
QUESTION – who here like me, when you think about how awesome our God is and then look at yourself is totally blown away! (Hard to believe isn't it?) BUT – it is true… Being close to you, IS God's greatest desire… AND – my friends if you ever doubt this, one looked at the blood stained cross will remove all doubt… YES - the cross proclaims God's desire to be close to you… (whirl pool 1100 light years)
NOW – before we move on tonight I feel compelled to give you a warning. IN FACT – I probably should have given it to you last week. BUT ANYHOW – here goes… SINCE – you drawing closer to Him, is God's greatest desire… God's greatest enemy (satan) will do everything that he can to keep this from happening.
GUYS – here is the bottom line, just as Pharaoh went after the nation of Israel as soon as they were delivered from slavery in Egypt (I MEAN – God's people had barely left the city limits and Phaoraoh is; gathering his army, grabbing his weapons, hopping on his chariot and going after them…)
LISTEN DURING - the next 70 days, especially during these first few weeks, the evil one is going to gather his army and every weapon he has ever used to defeat you in the past (and a few more beside) and go after you…

Ito ay follow-up problem na sinosolve natin regarding sa KAPA.
Maiiwasan sana ang reklamo ng ibang miyembro na hindi pa nababayaran, kung may budget sila. Dito nila makikita kung saan nagkamali ang grupo, at magagawan nila ng paraan para maging "realistic" ang kanilang pangako sa mga miyembro.
(Pahabol: Congrats sa mga nag-oath taking kanina ng mga bagong CPAs! Wish you all the best of luck!)
Kung may promise ang management ng KAPA sa mga miyembro nito, ano ang dapat gawin para matupad ito? Use all of the skills that you learned in Management Advisory Services. Solve this problem:
You were hired by your firm to conduct consultancy services to KAPA Community Ministry. Your task is to give recommendations to management.
In connection with the engagement, SEC provided you the business' financial statements:
- (Cash Flow Statement) Provide Statement of Cash Flows for December 31, 2017. Assume that this is their first year of operations.
- (Financial Mgmt.) Provide computation for these ratios:
- Liquidity ratio
- Solvency ratio
- Debt ratio
- Equity ratio
- Profit ratio
- Asset turnover ratio
- Return on investment (ROI). This will be computed as: Net Income divided by Members' Equity, Beginning Balance.
- (Budgeting) KAPA claims to have five million members. Provide Budgeted FS (Budgeted Financial Position, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flow Statement) for Dec. 31, 2019. Assume the following:
- All five million members will invest P5,000.00 each, and will pay P100.00 membership fees.
- Four GenSan fishing boats with P300,000.00 each will be included in Noncurrent Asset as: "Equipment and other NCA."
- Farms dedicated to lobsters, bangus, poultry, mango, rice, and mining have 1,200 hectares each (12 million sq. meters). Fair value per square meter is P300.00. Include in cost of land.
- Their cryptocurrency is valued at P50 million; and heavy equipments at P100 million. Include these in "Equipment and Other NCA."
- A member claims that there's 1,200 hectare banana plantation, or a total of 12 million square meters. That's almost as large as Navotas City. Assume fair value of P250.00 per square meter.
- Hospital building amounted to P70 million. Their school, convention center, and hotel amounted to P50 million each. Admin building is at P5 million. Place all of them under "Buildings" account.
- All disbursements on non-current assets are deducted against Cash on Hand.
- Journalize entries and post it to respective accounts.
- A member claims that income from mining runs to P10 billion. Include in Revenues.
- Revenues from other businesses were at P800 billion. Include in Revenues under "Other Income" account.
Budgeted schedule of expenses were as follows:
|Communication, Light, and Water
|Community Services
|Fire Victims Assistance
|Salaries and Wages
|Spiritual Upliftment
|SSS, PhilHealth, HDMF
|Transportation and Travel
Accounts Receivables totalled P591,664,029,210.00. Total liabilities will still remain the same.
- (Financial Mgmt.) Compute for the financial ratios stated in no. 2, this time, on budgeted FS.
Discussion Questions
- What will be your analysis of financial ratios on their actual and budgeted FS?
- As computed, total compounded interest to be paid to members would be at P582.5 billion. State positive and/or negative effects to KAPA using compounded interest instead of simple interest.
- What would be the required revenue to meet the promised 30% "love gift"?
- Based on these assumptions, what will you recommend to the management?
- (Time Value of Money) Assume that P25 billion "donation" is invested in ten years, 30% compounded monthly interest. Determine the maturity value for (1) all members, and (2) each member.
Suggested answers will be available via e-mail, upon request.

The irony could not have been more apparent.
Here was the month of March, a reminder of the assertive role the leadership of DUCSU and the Chhatra Sangram Parishad played in the rising nationalism of Bengalis back in March 1971. In March 2019, it was once again the Dhaka University Central Students Union (DUCSU) in the public eye, not because of any revolutionary contribution it was poised to make to national politics, not because the reins of office at the premier student body at the premier academic institution in the country was passing from a retiring set of leaders to an incoming one after a long hiatus of close to three decades. On March 11, 2019, an entire nation awaited the results of the elections for a new DUCSU leadership.
But things began to go awry early on. Disturbing reports of voting irregularities, specifically ballot papers already stamped in favour of the BCL, began seeping into the public arena from Bangladesh-Kuwait Maitree Hall. And then came news of the loud protests mounted by students at Ruqayya Hall over attempts to manipulate the vote, compelling the university authorities to suspend voting for a good stretch of time. The provost of Bangladesh-Kuwait Maitree Hall was removed from her position. That ought to have signalled an end to the problem. The restoration of voting at Ruqayya Hall should have been a sign of normalcy being restored.
Unfortunately, things continued to slide. Student organizations other than the BCL were prompt in pulling themselves out of the election on the ground that the voting was going on in circumstances that pointed to clear rigging. In their turn, the leading lights of the BCL quickly called a news conference and tried convincing the media, and by extension the 42,000-plus student voters, that those who had withdrawn from the race had done so in order to avoid the embarrassment of defeat.
Such assertions flew in the face of the realities on the ground. Nurul Haque Nur, vice-presidential nominee of the Quota Reform Movement, was beaten up. At the 18 halls of Dhaka University, an inordinately long spell of time was being expended in voting, with each voter taking between eight and 23 minutes to cast his or her vote. It was a mystery which deepened by the minute. Must the casting of a vote by an individual take that long? Or was there a concealed attempt — not so concealed in the event — to deliberately prolong the voting process in order for the multitudes waiting out there not to be able to exercise their right of choice?
Whatever the response to that question, the intriguing bit was that in the long wait, many waited to vote at the halls before making their sad way away from the premises. It was rather surprising to the point of being bizarre that neither the VC nor any official of his administration thought it necessary to step up to the students to ensure that things were progressing smoothly.
At the halls, as eyewitness reports would have it, ruling party cadres busied themselves in checking the identities of voters. That was not their job, but they were doing it anyway and the university authorities looked away from it all. That attitude of pretending things were going on fine was wrong, an ostrich-like position that was clearly untenable.
Eight teachers of the university — an unprecedented voicing of protest — raised serious questions about the lapses in voting, or the less-than-ideal voting atmosphere prevailing on campus. Their worries were not attended to. The reputation of the university authorities could only slide some more.
Despite all the suspicion and all the allegations, despite the protests of students outraged by all the goings-on and their demand that he quit office, the VC happily came forth with his confident assertion that the voting for a new DUCSU had gone well, that therefore there was little question of a fresh election taking place.
Meanwhile, with news streaming in of Nurul Haque Nur having triumphed in the race for the vice-presidency of DUCSU, it was for the BCL to mount its own protest over what it saw as irregularities marring the election staging their own protests before the VC's residence. Irony scaled new heights when they too demanded his resignation.
That was not the end of the story, for more surprises were yet to be. Nur, having earlier taken himself and his team off the voting in protest, walked back in when he was certain he had beaten his rivals. Of course, the general secretary-elect was BCL's Golam Rabbani.
Of course, eight of the nine secretary level positions at DUCSU had gone to the ruling party's student wing. But none of that deterred Nur from transforming himself from an angry young man to a happy winner at the election. The BCL president promised to work with him, seemingly sealing the pledge.
And thus a new DUCSU was born. Or you could say a premier player in the history of Bangladesh has been resuscitated into life in however erratic a fashion. The degree to which the new leadership at DUCSU will be able to transform itself into an inspirational and idealistic force committed to the promotion of students' welfare is a reality which threatens to be overshadowed by everything that did not go right on Monday.
That is a pity … in a season when we necessarily recall the history made by earlier generations of student leaders in this land, for this land.
Rashed Khan Menon, Matia Chowdhury, Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni, Kazi Zafar Ahmed, Tofail Ahmed, ASM Abdur Rab, Shahjahan Siraj, Abdul Kuddus Makhan, Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui, Ismat Kader Gama, Obaidul Quader, Rezaul Haq Chowdhury Mushtaq, Sultan Mohammad Mansur, and a legion of others once made us weave dreams. They, or most of them, went for elections fair and square. They won or lost, fair and square.
And VCs? Except for a few sycophantic ones, decisive, assertive and firm leadership was their forte. They did not genuflect before their students. They showed them the path to enlightenment.

A perspective from the other side
Mental health has been much mentioned here lately and I found an article that I shared with my DH to help him understand my point of view. Maybe it will help others who live with a spouse who fights depression, anxiety, and/or other issues.
One more thing that is hard for us…admitting–even on an anonymous board–that we have been diagnosed with these things. The stigma is real.
Also, I've been trying really hard to catch up on all the questions I haven't addressed yet before posting this, but it's taking too long, so count this as hard too: posting out of order! 🙂
Thanks for your vulnerability.

Phoenix Fan Fusion!
I'm at Phoenix Fan Fusion this weekend! I'm excited to meet other authors and fellow geeks and RWBY fans, and sign the first copies of After the Fall (RWBY #1) out in the wild. Here's my schedule!
"RWBY: After the Fall" Exclusive Cover Reveal!
If you're curious to see the cover of my next book, RWBY: After the Fall, head over to Entertainment Weekly for an exclusive reveal! I saw some early concept sketches for this, and I really love what Rooster Teeth came up with. (Plus, it's always a treat to see a new official illustration of Team CFVY!!!)
RWBY: After the Fall will be published this summer by Scholastic Books.
B&N 50% off sale!
Until Labor Day, Barnes & Noble is having its first "Book Haul Blowout" with 50% off many books, including my YA novels The Silence of Six, Against All Silence, and 1985–just $4.99 each!
News on my next novel!
You heard it hear last, folks! I am excited to be writing the first young adult novels in the RWBY universe, beginning with RWBY: After the Fall!
RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is a popular anime-inspired web series starring kickass characters kicking ass in a world overrun with vicious monsters called Creatures of Grimm. I enjoy anime and fairy tales, and especially The Wizard of Oz, and this show wears those influences and many more on its sleeve. It's been so much fun to work with the talented writers of the show at Rooster Teeth and my fabulous editor Chloe Fraboni at Scholastic to bring fans a brand-new story in this franchise.
The book will be published in summer 2019, and more details will surely follow. Here's the synopsis:
After Beacon Academy fell, Coco, Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi made a vow: No one else is getting left behind. It's been more than a year since Team CFVY saw their school destroyed by the Creatures of Grimm, their friends felled in battle or scattered across the world of Remnant. Since then, they've been settling into life at Shade Academy in Vacuo, fighting hard to finish their training so they can reunite with their friends and save their world.
When a distress message comes into Shade, asking for huntsmen and huntresses to defend refugees from a never-ending stream of Grimm, Team CFVY answers the call without hesitation. But in the heat of the desert, they're forced to relive their former battles, both from the Fall of Beacon and from everything that came before.
If you haven't seen RWBY yet, I recommend starting at the beginning and binge-watching the whole thing; the sixth season of the series begins on Oct. 27, so you have plenty of time to catch up. It's really terrific! And if you just want to see Team CFVY (pronounced "coffee") in action, check out this short clip:
If you ask me any specific questions about the story here or on social media, I probably won't be able to share much yet, but you'll learn more as soon as I can talk about it–and I hope you'll be interested in picking up the book next year!

Avskum - Uppror Underifran - LP ltd purple vinyl
Limited purple vinyl
Blasting an unrelenting wall of D-beat hardcore, Resonating with vitality, "Uppror Underifran" ( translated loosely "Uproar from the Underground") by Swedish Legends AVSKUM is stunningly, their most severe record in the band's 26 year history. An overkill attack of smashing drums and guitar riffage, This Fourth Lp hearkens back to their 1982 origins , with a heavy DISCHARGE bent ala' ANTI-CIMEX mired with the incomprehensibily raw, blunt and brutal song structures found in the original era of Swedish hardcore punk . The MOTORHEAD-ish rock overdrive of their previous Prank LP's is still cranked with the curt economy of masters at the top of their game, capped with AVSKUM's inventive song structures and always great, trademark harsh vocals, all captured in a exceptional recording from Gothenburg's EVIL GRILL studio and slapped in a cool sleeve by Swedish artist CRASH MANGE . Taking a four year break since their last LP,"Punkista", the band took time writing "Uppror Underifran" to deliver 16 incredibly rock solid tracks that transition from their previous recordings to now have largely entirely Swedish lyrics, but still take relevant aim at U.S. War Policy, Capitalism and Mass consumption. Stunningly one of the band's best outings yet that demands to be Played loud! No... Louder! Louder! Louder!

Avskum - Punkista - LP ltd purple vinyl
Limited purple vinyl
Charged and furious, classic Swedish Punk carved out of D-Beat and DISCHARGE, blasting with Hoarse vocals and a wall of guitars. This is the third LP by Swedish legend's AVSKUM, who have existed on and off the Swedish hardcore punk scene since the early 1980's. This LP is marked with unqiue twists and turns that challenge and defy the formula while satisfying both fans of the bands old dirgy style "Ingen Manniska Ar Illegal" and full on DISCHARGE style attack "Children of war". Vital and powerful, Punkista was recorded at Sunlight Studios (entombed) in 2002 .

No Statik - We All Die In The End - LP ltd orange or brown vinyl
( 300 Orange, 300 Brown ( stores only), 300 Black Pressed)
Raging hardcore from the SF Bay area, NO STATIK's Debut 12" takes a straight forward 80's hardcore charge and detonates it with bursts of chaotic 90's hardcore rapid fire drumming, leaving Guitar leads sear and squeal out of the chaos as brutal vocals dredged and nail down dark, pointed lyrics. Six inventive blasts of thick, stop, start and rampage are on the A-side and the B-side is the title track, an experimental track that weaves the band's hardcore attack in and out of an ambient and rhythmic soundscape.
Vocalist Ruby was previously in MOMENTO MORI and SCROTUM GRINDER. Guitarist Mark was in LOOK BACK AND LAUGH and DESTROY!. Drummer B was in SCHOLASTIC DETH and END OF THE CENTURY PARTY. Bassist Robert was in ARTIMUS PYLE, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? and is in CONQUEST FOR DEATH. The band previously released a debut 7" on IRON LUNG RECORDS, which sold through two pressings in a matter of weeks.

Merdoso - In Silence - 7" ltd white vinyl
WHITE VINYL FOR MAILORDER ( 300 white, 300 black pressed
San Francisco's MERDOSO, this three song debut builds on sturdy, straight ahead rushing guitars and solid drumming. Using the repetitive nature of D-Beat as it's Strength, Longer, measured doses of the rumbling, sturdy drum attack, scowling vocals and the unrelenting volley of brutally crude guitar riffage give this EP and unique, dark mood. The recording enhances the EP's enigmatic sound, an echoey quality similar to 80's European hardcore EP's but recorded by Jeff Leppard ( VOETSEK, ACEPHALIX) at San Francisco's Lennon Studios, balances out with the crispness of a modern recording. Features former members of PELIGRO SOCIAL, ACEPHALIX and STORMCROW.

text: AdmissionsIn addition to the general admission requirements for the DrPH program, the Focus Area in Environmental and Occupational Health requires the following: MPH or MS in environmental or occupational health or a related discipline. If the applicant does not meet this requirement, students must take EHOH 6618 and 6619 and two of the following three courses: EHOH 6616, 6617 and 6620, or the equivalent during the first year of the program as co-requisites. Students must have prior graduate-level coursework in the five core areas of public health (Epidemiology, Biostatistics, EOH, Health Systems, Management and Policy, Community and Behavioral Health). Co-requisite credits are in addition to the 55 credits required for the DrPH degree. To determine if previous coursework meets the co-requisite requirements, students are advised to meet with the Director of the EOH DrPH program. 1 CurriculumDrPH students in the EOH Focus Area will follow the curriculum structure outlined for all DrPH students: 12 hrs - Focus Area - will include the following: Advanced Methods in Environmental & Occupational Health (2 credits). This course (EHOH 7631) will cover advanced methods in survey design, environmental sampling, risk assessment, biomarkers and exposure assessment and focus on use of and issues associated with analysis of secondary datasets. Advanced Field Investigations in Environmental & Occupational Health (1 credit). This course (EHOH 7632) will build on the Advanced Methods in EOH course and provide practical field and laboratory applications. Field investigations will include sampling design, sample collection (e.g. air, water, soil, questionnaire), analysis and interpretation. Geographic Information Systems (3 credits). Students will take EHOH 6621 or the equivalent, an introduction to Geographic Information Systems, including the use of GIS software, mapping, geocoding and data analysis. If a student has previously completed an introductory GIS course, an advanced GIS course may be substituted. Advanced Biostatistics (6 credits). Students will take BIOS 6611 and BIOS 6612 or equivalents to acquire advanced biostatistical skills. With permission of the student's advisor, advanced biostatistical coursework may be substituted such as structural equation modeling, applied regression analysis, Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), principal component or factor analysis, and mixed-model methods. 9 hrs - Selective Credit Hours - will build the student's specific area of expertise, leading to the qualifying exams and dissertation. Examples of areas of specialization for EOH include (but are not limited to) the following: built environment, cancer prevention, climate change and health, worksite wellness, total worker health, exposure assessment, and toxicology. Courses must be selected in consultation with the student's advisor, and relevant electives may be taken at any CSPH campus. 6 hrs - Minor - Public Health Electives - Elective courses in the selected minor area of study. The minor area must be in one of the five core areas of public health, excluding the major focus area. These include: biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, community and behavioral health, and health systems, management and policy. These courses will be taken in the School of Public Health. 4 hrs - DrPH Seminar - 4, 1 credit hr semesters of the DrPH seminar. Students will be required to attend the bi-monthly seminar for the first 4 semesters of their tenure in the program. The DrPH seminar will cover topic areas across all five concentrations of public health (i.e. biostatistics, community and behavioral health, environmental health, epidemiology, and health services, management and policy) while addressing the core DrPH competencies related to advocacy, communication, community/cultural orientation, critical analyses, leadership, management and professionalism/ethics. The seminar will include a combination of guest speakers on relevant topics, directed reading and discussion, and student presentations of areas of interest and work in progress. 3 hrs - Leadership - A course on leadership development, taken in the School of Public Health or, with permission, at another affiliated school. This CSPH Leadership course is intended to provide a foundation for emerging public health leaders that will include taking leadership from theory and principle to action and practice in contexts of the individual, team, organization and community. 3 hrs - Management - A course on principles of management or organizational communications, taken in the School of Public Health or elsewhere with permission. 3 hrs - Proposal Writing - The overall goal of this requirement is to develop skills in preparing high quality, successful, research or practice grant applications. Students will become familiar with different granting mechanisms (e.g., NIH, CDC, foundations) and develop grantsmanship skills, including the ability to formulate research and practice plans and write at a high level of quality. This is a closely mentored and intensive activity that is intended to lead directly to the submission of a grant application. 2 hrs - Directed Reading - In preparation for written and oral comprehensive exams, each student will develop, in consultation with their examination committee, a directed reading list in the area of their dissertation research. This activity is intended to lead to the student becoming an expert in their specific area of research, including understanding of the historical development of the specific area, current research findings, and current practice in the area. Reading will address current epidemiological understanding of the area, methodological aspects of the area, theoretical underpinnings of behavior related to the area, and current practice in the area. For example, in the area of physical activity, upon completion of this activity, a student would be expected to have a thorough understanding of epidemiological evidence supporting or disputing a relationship between physical activity and disease etiology, natural history, and prognosis, physiological/psychological mechanisms for the relationship between physical activity and health/disease status, social, environmental and system level determinants, theoretical approaches used in understanding determinants of physical activity behavior, methods for assessing levels of physical activity, and current practices in developing programs for increasing levels of physical activity. The written and oral comprehensive exams will take place upon completion of directed reading. 4 hrs - Practicum - All DrPH students must engage in a minimum of 240 hours of fieldwork. This will usually be completed with an agency outside of the School of Public Health (e.g., local health department, state health department, volunteer organization, etc.). The fieldwork experience should address most, if not all, of the core DrPH competencies (Advocacy, Communication, Community/Cultural Orientation, Critical Analysis, Leadership, Management, Professionalism & Ethics). 21 hrs (before Fall 2018) - Dissertation - Following completion of the written qualifying exam (see Exams/Dissertation tab), students will complete 21 dissertation credits during which time they prepare and defend their dissertation proposal, complete their dissertation research, and complete and defend their written dissertation. 9 hrs (Fall 2018 and later) - Dissertation - Following completion of the written qualifying exam (see Exams/Dissertation tab), students will complete 9 dissertation credits during which time they prepare and defend their dissertation proposal, complete their dissertation research, and complete and defend their written dissertation. 2 Exams/DissertationIt is expected that formal coursework will take approximately 2 years to complete. As students complete required coursework and practicum hours, they will advance towards independent research for their dissertation. In this process, students will complete written and oral qualifying exams. Dissertation The dissertation will be of an applied nature and must demonstrate the student's ability to conduct independent research on a contemporary public health issue. The student is expected to examine and analyze a problem in public health practice that has readily identifiable beneficiaries and constituents. The dissertation committee will work with the student to identify appropriate areas of investigation. The project will involve a written product that comprehensively addresses, generates, and/or interprets and evaluates knowledge applicable to public health practice. The written dissertation document may be one of several forms depending on the nature of the scholarly work, but should be of publishable quality and must demonstrate rigorous analytic strategies. It will typically take one of two forms: (1) a unified traditional dissertation, or (2) three publishable papers plus, at a minimum, introduction and conclusion chapters. The dissertation will be defended publicly and must be approved by the dissertation committee before the degree of DrPH is conferred. Dissertation Committee Each student will form a 5 member dissertation committee to guide their dissertation research including the directed reading, written comprehensive examination, dissertation research proposal, oral comprehensive examination, conduct of research, and completion and defense of the dissertation. The committee chair must be have a primary faculty appointment from the focus area department. The student's main mentor must have a primary or secondary appointment in the Colorado School of Public Health. The mentor may not be the Chair of the dissertation committee. In addition, the committee as a whole must meet the following minimum criteria: 1. Two members must be program core faculty in the FOCUS AREA department.2. One member must be from outside the FOCUS AREA department.3. One member must be from the practice community. A Committee Membership form should be completed that designates committee membership and is signed by Chair and Mentor of the committee as well as Program Director. The final form should be submitted to the Program Director for approval prior to beginning the Directed Reading. Directed Reading (2 credit hrs) DrPH Directed Reading course is intended to help prepare DrPH students for their comprehensive exams and dissertation research. This activity is intended to result in th student being an expert in their specific area(s) of research, including understanding of the historical development of the specific area(s), current research findings in the specific area(s), and current practice in the areas. Readings will address current epidemiological understanding of the area, methodological aspects of the area, theoretical underpinnings of behavior and/or policy related to the area, and current practice. For example, in the area of physical activity, upon completion of this activity, a student would be expected to have a thorough understanding of epidemiological evidence supporting or disputing a relationship between physical activity and disease etiology, natural history, and prognosis, physiological/psychological mechanisms for the relationship between physical activity an health/disease status, social, environmental and system level determinants, theoretical approaches used in understanding determinants of physical activity behavior, methods for assessing levels of physical activity, and current practices in developing programs for increasing levels of physical activity. Prior to enrolling in the course and with guidance from the committee, the student will: Select at least 2 areas of focus that are in line with the student's dissertation area of study. Compile an extensive reading list in these select areas. The reading list should include seminal readings, reviews, meta-analyses and key original pieces of work. Have the reading list reviewed and approved by the dissertation comittee. Committee members may choose to add/delete various readings from the list. Once the initial reading list is finalized, the student may enroll in the DrPH Directed Reading course and will be expected to complete an annotated bibliography of the full reading list within the designated time span (i.e. one or two semesters as described above). The final reading list should include approximately 75-100 readings. The written exam will take place upon completion of directed reading. Written Comprehensive Exam Upon completion of the directed reading course, the student will schedule their written comprehensive exam. The student will have 2 weeks to provide written answers. The exam will include 3-5 essay questions written by the dissertation committee that incorporate DrPH competencies (both general and Focus Area specific) and the areas covered in the student's Directed Reading. Responses are expected to be in-depth with citations and may be of publishable quality (such as a literature synthesis). Total written response should be approximately 20-30 single-spaced pages. The committee will grade (i.e. pass/fail) the written exam and submit the final grade to the Program Director. Each student who passes the written exams will be able to begin preparation for the dissertation proposal oral defense. Oral Defense Following completion of the written qualifying exam and the written dissertation proposal, students will present their proposal in an oral examination. The oral examination may include questions that cover the student's focus area, directed reading and dissertation proposal. The examination will include a detailed review and discussion of the proposed dissertation research. Below is a list of the possible outcomes for each of the comprehensive exams: Pass- You receive the affirmative votes of the majority of the members of your committee in order to pass. Pass with conditions- The committee may feel that although you have passed the examination you should complete additional work on your exams. These conditions will be specified and must be satisfied within 4 months of the defense. Fail- If you fail the examination, you may be subject to immediate dismissal from the program. At the program's discretion, you may be allowed to retake the examination once. The retake will be in a format designated by the committee and must be completed within 6 months. Final Dissertation Defense A final examination of the dissertation will be conducted orally by the examination committee. Arrangements for the final examination must be sent to the DrPH education coordinator at least two weeks in advance. Below is a list of the possible outcomes for the defense: Pass- Affirmative votes by a the majority of the committee members signifying that the candidate has met the dissertation requirement. The committee may still request changes to the dissertation document but these should be minimal. Pass with conditions- A majority of committee members agree that the candidate will pass the dissertation requirement with additional work on the thesis that can be completed within a set timeline. These conditions will be specified and must be satisfied within 60 days of the defense. Fail- If a student fails the examination, s/he may not continue in the program. Timetable for Completion The DrPH degree is designed to be completed within 4 years at full-time effort. Upon entering the DrPH program, students will have 3 years to pass the written qualifying exam and should complete the dissertation and public defense of the dissertation within 7 years of entering the program. 3 Competencies Identifier Core (CR) DrPH Competencies DrPH 1 Explain qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods and policy analysis research and evaluation methods to address health issues at multiple (individual, group, organization, community and population) levels.

I am getting the error message also, though I can click it away... It's a security problem with a certificate that is no longer valid. It's the certificate from a sever called "nwidget.networkedblog.com"
Probably the certificate is simply to old and not unvalid due to a hacked site, but since this is typical for a security problem a well managed browser should block the site. ;-)
(That also explains why the problem did pop up without any changes by you... the person managing the networkedblog.com server should have gotten a new and valid certificate.)
Though I am happy I can just click the warning away and then read your great blog!

loved watching this - thanks for sharing. They do A LOT of attaching the jacket to the lining, which I'm not used to, but all the sewing without tacking/basting and use of rotary cutters is IMHO the most efficient and effective way to cut, and I'm glad to see I'm doing it right. Also recutting again. So much learning, of the fine details, LOVE!

2018 NBA Finals Predictions: Can the Cavs Beat the Warriors?
The 2018 NBA Finals are about to get underway and it is a familiar match-up. The Cleveland Cavaliers will once again go up against the Golden State Warriors as both teams are vying for a championship. In the past, the Warriors have often been favored to win the title against the Cavs, but this year it is a landslide. Everyone is making their 2018 NBA Finals predictions. From sports betting experts to casual basketball fans, everyone believes that the Warriors are a lock to win another championship.

Warriors Are Historic Favorites
Las Vegas believes that the sports betting public will be betting it all on the Warriors. The recent NBA Finals odds have the Warriors listed as (-1200) favorites over the Cavaliers, which is the biggest favorite since 2002. Not only is Cleveland not expected to win this series, but it's not expected to be close.
The Legend of LeBron
LeBron James once again put on a show in the series against the Boston Celtics. It may have gone seven games, but James and the Cavs found a way to get back to the NBA Finals. This is the eighth consecutive trip for James and he is still the best player on the planet. Although everyone is betting against him, James still has a shot to carry this team to another championship.
2018 NBA Finals Predictions: The Bottom Line
Form an NBA stand point, there is no doubt that the Warriors have more talent than the Cavs. However, the Cavs have some role players that are actually stepping it up. If you want to chance a number from a betting stand point, then the Cavs at (+750) are a very nice number to consider. The Cavs are double digit underdogs in game one, but if they manage to pull out a win in one of the early games, the odds will surely shift. This could open up some early betting angles and chances to make money.
And the Winner is…
Let's face it; the Cavs are most likely not going to win this series. If you are making your 2018 NBA Finals predictions you may be better off by live betting or waiting to see how the first game comes out. However, taking LeBron at this big of a price, could be interesting. The favorite in the last three NBA Finals are 11-7 against the spread (ATS). The money will be flowing in on the Warriors and the Cavs are the play to watch. It's not suggested that you bet large money on the Cavs, but this could be the year that LeBron shocks the world and cements his legacy!

DOWNLOAD – WHS Suffrage Scotland – Interwar Scotland
Valerie Wright
In this section you will find information on the following:
- Women's political engagement in Scotland after the partial enfranchisement of women in 1918
- How women's organisations encouraged active citizenship among members
- The continuity in divisions among women's organisations
- The role that class played in women's politics in the interwar years
- The type of issues that women's organisations promoted
The interwar years were a time of great change in Scotland, economically, socially and culturally. While the 1920s and 1930s are traditionally portrayed by historians as a time in which women experienced a 'backlash' and a 'return to domesticity' following the First World War, in fact women were entering public life in greater numbers than before. Many women's organisations encouraged 'active citizenship' among their members after women gained the vote in 1918 (well some women over 30). What did this mean? Well basically getting involved in politics – both locally and nationally. This could involve standing as candidates for education or health committees on the local council, standing as councillors or standing as MPs. It could also mean canvassing on behalf of others or getting involved in campaigns for improved housing, maternity care or the demand of equal pay or equal access to the professions. Political actions could also be simply challenging the status quo and insisting on time of your own to attend a meeting or demonstration in your local village hall. The demands of women's organisations in interwar Scotland were varied and not all were feminist, but this didn't mean they weren't political.
There was a wide range of women's organisations active in interwar Scotland and a thriving associational culture. Not all groups agreed on or supported the same issues and often disagreed. Sometimes they were able to put aside their differences in order to work together for a common goal. At other times they were not. During suffrage many women's organisations came together, afterwards they may not have had the same shared goals. But pragmatic alliances continued to be formed on specific issues in the interwar years and there continued to be shared concerns.
The following sections will focus on four different women's organisations that were active in Scotland in the interwar years:
Glasgow Society for Equal Citizenship (GSEC)
The GSEC was formed in 1902 and had originally been the Glasgow and West of Scotland Suffrage Society. Its leadership was solidly middle-class and the organisation had links with the Moderates, the Glasgow unionist or Tory party. It demanded equal political and civic rights for women. It focused its energies on campaigns that would ensure that women gained equal status with men in society, whether that be in the eyes of the law, within employment in the professions, or in the provision of healthcare. Legislative reforms remained its main concern throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. The GSEC also supported female candidates, sometimes members of its own executive committee, standing in local elections.
On the other hand while it supported the equality of women in their right to medical treatment and therefore supported improved maternity care, this was not their main interest. Similarly it didn't support the campaign for improved working-class housing in Glasgow, which the Scottish Cooperative Guild was very much involved in. The GSEC advocated slum clearance rather than more general house building for the working-classes as it supported the moderate aim of 'keeping the rates low' ie taxes on middle class owned property which it was feared would be raised to pay for municipal expenditure on housing.
So class distinctions were certainly a barrier to cooperation between women's organisations of differing class and political backgrounds in Glasgow.
Interestingly the GSEC disbanded in 1933, the same year the Labour Party took control of Glasgow Corporation. However the declining membership of the organisation maybe had more to do with its ageing membership and failure to attract new members.
Edinburgh Women's Citizens' Association (EWCA)
The EWCA formed in 1919 campaigned for many of the same 'equality' issues as the GSEC and supported female candidates standing in local elections. But it also demanded improvements for women as women, for example improvements in maternity care, an endowment of motherhood ie family allowances which would be paid to the mother and crucially it also supported improved housing for the working-classes, which would have the biggest impact on working-class women who are housewives and mothers. Notably the EWCA's leadership was also solidly middle-class and it too had links to the right politically, in its case to the Progressives, the Edinburgh Tories, but it had more success in attracting working-class membership. It is possible that this was because the divisions between the classes was less pronounced in Edinburgh but probably had more to do with the fact that the EWCA made a concerted effort to support the issues prioritised by working-class women such as improved housing and maternity care.
So class was less of a barrier to cooperation between women's organisations in Edinburgh with the EWCA working together within a network of organisations to improve the lives of women both at a national legislative level and at a local level.
Scottish Co-operative Women's Guild (the Guild)
The Guild was formed as a women's section of the Scottish Cooperative Movement in 1893 and was a working-class organisation, which represented 'respectable' women who could manage their money and didn't get in to debt. Most importantly members of the Guild were also supporters of the Co-operative Movement, its ideologies and principles. It concentrated on promoting issues that would be of benefit to working-class wives and mothers, which included demands for improved housing conditions and better medical care for mothers. It also supported issues associated with 'equality' feminism such as the extension of the franchise to all women over the age of 21.
While the Guild cooperated with other women's organisations, these were often other left-wing socialist organisations. It worked with middle-class feminists on particular issues only, such as signing petitions campaigning for improved maternity care etc. However the leadership of the Guild was very much concerned with furthering the Cooperative cause and promoting the election of women to boards of management within the movement. It also supported female candidates in local elections, for the dual aim of improving the lives of working class women and increasing the power of the Cooperative movement.
While not overtly 'feminist' the Scottish Cooperative Guild was had an important role in the women's movement in interwar Scotland in terms of its aim to improve the lives of working class people.
Scottish Women's Rural Institutes (the Rurals)
The Scottish Women's Rural Institutes, formed in 1917, in contrast completely disavowed a feminist identity and considered itself to be non-political. Catherine Blair, a former suffragist, was the founder of the Scottish branch of the international Women's Institute movement. She had envisaged the Rurals, as they became known by their members, as a space in which women could talk about their
lives and have some recreation. The 'dullness' of women's lives was also to be 'combated' through the formation of such women's institutes in rural villages. The Rurals in Scotland, like their counterparts in England, also made a conscious decision to welcome all women irrespective of class or religion. In certain circumstances this curtailed the issues that could be discussed, and any subject deemed to be 'controversial' was not included on recommended lists of lecture topics or suggested demonstrations.
While the Rural were non-political and did not support female candidates standing for election etc, they did much in terms of campaigning for improved rural housing and were involved in all sorts of grass roots community campaigns for village halls, adult education and improvements in women's health care. In addition they put women centre stage in such local campaigns. While not challenging women's place in interwar Scottish society, the Rurals did help members to make their views known and at the very least provided overworked women with recreation and a space to be themselves away from their husbands and families.
Of all the four organisations the Rurals numerically were the most successful and are still going strong today. It is notable that in the late 1930s the Edinburgh Women's Citizen's Association began introducing drama and crafts classes like those of the Rurals.
These four organisations had many concerns with improving life for women in interwar Scotland. Here are some of the issues they promoted:
Legal Equality
Obviously the demand for the vote was often made in terms of legal equality between the sexes, but for many women's organisations the vote was only the beginning.
The GSEC, like many overtly feminist organisations championed the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Bill 1919 to enable women to have 'equality of liberty, status and opportunity with regard to public functions, dignities, honours, civil and judicial offices, posts or professions'. They were equally vociferous on demanding equal opportunity in industry and the professions, and especially the legal profession and argued that women should be able to become Justices of the Peace and Jurors.
Equal pay for equal work was also a priority with it being suggested that 'no differentiation should be made on the grounds of sex between men and women doing work of equal value'.
The demand for an equal moral standard was an issue shared by many feminist organisations in interwar Britain and the GSEC argued that the 'laws dealing with moral offences . . . should be framed so as not to differentiate between the sexes either in wording or in enforcement so that such offences shall be offences of all persons equally'.
The EWCA supported similar issues demanding equality for women on the same terms as men, but also for women as mothers. It supported widow's pensions as 'the present law does great injustice to widows with dependent children by giving them no means of obtaining public assistance except through the poor law'. The support for the Equal Guardianship of Infants Bill and support for the illegitimate Children Scotland Act was also to enable better legal rights for mothers.
The Guild also supported equal pay for equal work although there was the condition that this should be based on the value of work done, and 'not that the payment should merely be made'. This could be interpreted as supporting the primacy of the male 'breadwinner' wage and opposition to female 'dilution' of skill. Interestingly the Guild also actively supported the introduction of a 'family wage' with a 1918 resolution stating that 'everything that would mean a larger amount of money coming into the home through the father' was better 'than schemes where the mother must leave her home'. Similarly it also argued for an 'endowment of motherhood' in similar terms, as protecting the welfare of children as 'the highest infant death rate occurred when women went out to work'.
Unsurprisingly given it's 'non-political' stance the Rurals only considered 'women's position in regard to the law' when visiting speakers came to lecture at individual Rurals. Advertisements and features in the Rurals' journal could also on occasion promote pamphlets produced by feminist organisations. In April 1926 for example a pamphlet entitled 'Law and the Woman' was described as 'of inestimatable value to all those who wish to know how the law of the land affects women and children'.
Overcrowding and poor quality housing was widespread in Scotland in the interwar years and not just in urban areas. When we think of slums we think of the inner city, but conditions were just as bad if not worse in rural Scotland.
The GSEC was committed to 'slum clearance' rather than 'general needs provision'. Due to the 'level of taxation and the large number of unlet houses' the construction of Corporation housing 'should cease except for slum clearance' although members of the society should be encouraged to visit slum areas with a view to 'getting an informed opinion and pressing for improved housing conditions'.
The EWCA suggested that 'more could be done' – 'The rate of rent of municipal houses under construction have little relationship to the incomes of the people who, in their own interests and in the interests of the community, ought to move out of their present homes'.
It issued a questionnaire to municipal candidates on the matter of 'the provision of adequate housing accommodation for the low paid wage earner with a large family' and began its own 'cheap money scheme' for house building – Edinburgh Welfare Housing Trust – 'erecting houses in the city at a reduced rent to selected families with young children'. The Housing Trust built 24 houses on two sites, all had a living room and kitchenette on the ground floor, and three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, with the rent being 8/6 a week including rates.
The Guild was involved in the 1915 rent strikes which resulted in the rent restrictions act of the same year and continued to demand a return to pre-war rents.
The Guild opposed the Rent Restrictions Amendment Act in 1920. The president, Mrs MacDonald, argued the amendment would result in increased house rents, causing 'great hardship on a large number of the poorer and casual workers'. MacDonald also praised the 'vigorous protest being organised in certain districts against the increase in rents', clearly the Clydebank rent strikes of 1920. In the late 1920s further resolutions were passed supporting the extension of the Rent Restrictions Act, 'until such time as an adequate supply of houses is available to meet the needs of the people'.
In 1932 the central council again passed a resolution demanding that 'in view of grave unemployment and low wages prevalent among the working classes' the government should introduce legislation for the immediate return to pre-war rents. 'Until sufficient houses had been built to provide accommodation for the people, adequate protection should be given to tenants against expulsion from their homes'.
Demands for improved housing for the working classes continued throughout the interwar years, with resolutions calling on the government to 'assume responsibility for providing better housing, and give assistance to local authorities to enable them to build new houses and deal adequately with the slums'.
The Rurals' government appointed organiser, Agnes Campbell suggested that women's activities must extend beyond the home as 'there was a vast amount of work in which their special facilities might be usefully employed', women's 'special knowledge and skills' could be employed in 'tackling such national problems as defective housing and ill health among children'.
Catherine Blair, founder of the Rurals, suggested in 1920 that 'discontent among women' with regard to housing was increasing, and she added that they were 'becoming more articulate'.
Providing evidence to the 1919 commission on housing, Blair argued that houses should have 'a living room and parlour, two or even three bedrooms, scullery, and bathroom' with common complaints in rural areas including the lack of running water, no washing or drying facilities, 'objectionable' open ashpits, and inconveniently situated, primitive, and sometimes non-existent sanitary conveniences.
The President of Glamis SWRI, stated in 1935 that there was 'no more burning question today than the housing problem', all Rurals should 'fearlessly tackle' it. Members of the Rurals were to 'bring forward a corporate plan for more space and greater comfort in their homes', women should 'satisfy their legitimate demands for betterment' by arriving 'at a general working plan of house construction'; 'betterment of the home life' would have practical results, in that the 'rural worker' would be happier, her work would be easier, and 'her heart would be lighter'.
It was further argued in 1937 that improved housing in rural areas appeared to be 'the only way to check rural depopulation', and that government should give assistance to 'landed proprietors' who 'could not face' the expense of improving their properties, in order that young married people and elderly retired people would remain in rural communities.
Maternal Mortality
This was an issue that affected both working-class and middle-class women. The government advised further medicalisation of child-birth to prevent women dying at the hands of neighbourhood handywomen. But all was not as it seemed. Deaths from puerperal sepsis were just as high in private hospitals. The scandal became more widespread as middle-class women continued to die in similar numbers to the working classes.
The GSEC suggested that 'in view of the continued heavy maternal death rate, to grant facilities to the Maternity and Nursing Homes (Scotland) Bill', but opposed municipal expenditure on welfare services. In March 1931 it did 'not feel' that it was 'the time to urge for any increases in social services' which would mean 'increased taxation and a further burden on industry'.
The EWCA established a study circle entitled 'The Problem of Maternal Mortality' which involved lectures by experts in the field, and included 'The Importance of Ante-Natal Work', 'Venereal Disease in Relation to Maternity', 'The Provision for Women during Child Birth', 'Puerperal Fever' and 'Maternity as it should be'. Like the GSEC it also advocated further medicalisation and adherence to government legislation including 'adequate medical and nursing attendance will result in a reduction of maternal deaths'. But it also encouraged the establishment of home helps following ' a very interesting' account given by Miss Barker, Assistant Inspector of Midwives in Glasgow, of her work in relation to the 'Home Helps Scheme in the city'. The EWCA proposed the establishment of a similar scheme in Edinburgh. Home helps assisted new mothers in the weeks immediately following childbirth, performing household chores and running errands, with childcare being her main duty. A year later, in 1931 the Medical Officer of Health had drafted a scheme that included a panel of suitable home helps.
The Guild's president argued in 1918 that 'the greatest and grandest subject which women could take up was the care of maternity and child life, for on that principally did the weal or woe of the nation depend'. She insisted that 'there must be maternity centres, where mothers would get that care that they could not get in their own homes' and 'it was essential also to have a very careful watching and visitation scheme' with it now being 'possible to have in every town baby clinics, where doctors could give careful attention to the children'. In 1928 a resolution was passed urging the Ministry of Health 'to take such steps as will lead to the establishment in every district of a complete maternity service for the protection of motherhood'. Mrs Hunter of the central council insisted that 'motherhood was still the most dangerous of dangerous trades' and 'whatever is possible shall be done to tackle the vital task of lessening the risks of motherhood'. Finally, in 1930 the central council viewed 'with grave concern the appalling and increasing death rate and disability among women in childbirth'. Mrs Hardstaff, president, was outraged that 'half the several thousands of young mothers who lost their lives could have been saved if proper treatment and care had been available'.
In the same year the Guild demanded the establishment of a 'complete maternity service for the protection of motherhood, to be directly under the control of the state or local authorities and to operate in conjunction with GPs', and 'all hospitals and infirmaries should be controlled and financed by the state'.
In 1937 it was argued that 'the state should recognise that a healthy nation is a wealthy nation and that working mothers should get the same care and treatment as royal mothers'
The Rurals focused on child welfare rather than maternal welfare. Its 1928 handbook suggested lectures including 'care of children, health, sick nursing and child welfare'. These were designed to be 'open meetings' where members were encouraged to invite friends and neighbours who they thought would benefit. This was essentially a community resource where mothers could gain information relating to child welfare.

Where can you find information about women's organisations?
Overtly feminist organisations, formed during the campaign for the vote and after were established in towns and cities throughout Scotland. Glasgow Society for Equal Citizenship and Edinburgh Women's Citizens Association were part of a wide network of similar organisations including:
- National Council of Women
- National Federation of Women Workers
- National Union of Townswomen's Guilds
- Women's Freedom League
- Women's International League
- Women's Peace Crusade
- League of Nations Union
- Women's Educational Union
You can search SCAN to identify the location of archives for such organisations, consult relevant publications, newspapers, local archives and museums. Scottish broadsheet and local newspapers are likely to be a key source of information, as are newspapers published by or associated with political parties. For more details, see the General guidance on sources, especially the sections on 'Records of organisations'.
