Bruno Mars' Grammy scholarship expands to include more kids

New York: Bruno Mars is expanding his support of a Grammy scholarship for high school students.

The five-time Grammy winner had lent financial support for a student from his native Hawaii to attend the Grammy Museum's Grammy Camp since 2014 to honour his late mother. Now a student nationwide will be eligible, and Mars will cover the student's tuition, housing and transportation. Mars will fund a student a year for five years.

Grammy Camp allows students to learn about the industry from professionals and has sessions in Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee.

The "24K Magic" singer — who is also a producer, songwriter and plays multiple instruments — expressed his gratitude to Grammy Camp. In a statement Wednesday he called it a "privilege" to be able to help students reach their musical dreams.

Mars' other hits include "That's What I Like" and "Uptown Funk." He's currently on a world tour.

10 Cybersecurity Scholarships to Look out for

Cybersecurity has one of the largest skill gaps of all critical infrastructure fields, with more than 3.5 million job openings estimated by 2021. While this is potentially disconcerting in light of the major security breaches that now occur with regularity, it's also positive for aspiring cybersecurity professionals. It's really an employee's (or entrepreneur's) market like we've never seen.One method used to create incentives for talented individuals to join the ranks of the cyber defense workforce is through the funding of high quality scholarships. In nearly a decade of covering education and technology, I've seldom seen such a range of lucrative incentives and opportunities for those entering a field. And these incentives are likely just to increase in future years, with the size of the cybersecurity market projected to double by 2022.We've picked out ten of our favorite cybersecurity scholarships below based on their overall value (opportunity and monetary), as we ll as for how applicable they are to a wide range of students.1. NAVY INFORMATION ASSURANCE SCHOLARSHIPAward Amount: Tuition + StipendDespite the issuing body, this scholarship is available to both service members and civilians. Recipients will receive full tuition and a stipend in exchange for serving one (paid) year in civilian or service member roles in the Navy for every year the reward was received. While this may seem like quite a commitment, it's a great way to jump-start your career by helping to place students directly into critical information assurance roles upon graduation. The application process is competitive though available to a wide range of students attending school in information assurance-related disciplines at the Bachelor's through Doctoral levels.2. THE SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND RESEARCH FOR TRANSFORMATION (SMART) SCHOLARSHIP FOR SERVICE PROGRAMAward Amount: Full Tuition + Salary + BenefitsAnother scholarship-for-service program, this scholarship leads to recipients serving at the Department of Defense during the summers of their education and for a time after their schooling. While this may seem like quite a bit of service, the Department of Defense is on the front lines of cyber defense and could provide amazing experience for someone new to the field. The scholarship amount is nothing to sneeze at, either. It includes a salary, benefits and full tuition. Admission requirements include U.S. Citizen status, the ability to obtain a security clearance, a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and the pursuance of a national security-related degree. Awards are available at the Bachelor's through Doctoral levels.3. CENTER FOR CYBER SAFETY AND EDUCATION WOMEN'S SCHOLARSHIPAward Amount: $40,000While this scholarship is only available to women studying in cybersecurity-related fields, it places highly in our ranking due to it's large award amount and lack of service requirements. The award is available at the Bachelor's through doctoral levels of s tudy. Requirements for applicants include a minimum GPA of 3.2, pursuance of an information assurance-related field of study, a statement of purpose, transcripts, a C/V, and references. There are not residency requirements for this award, and students may study full-time, part-time, or online. The best part? It's a large award: $40,000 a year.4. CIA UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMAward Amount: $18,000 + SalaryPotentially the scholarship with the most rigorous application process of those in our list, the CIA Undergraduate Scholarship Program is also one of the most prestigious awards in a wide variety of fields. Applicants must apply in their senior year of high school, and the award is (predictably) for undergraduate study. Recipients are expected to work at the CIA during summers of their undergraduate experience and then after graduation. A number of well-documented internship tracks are available for cybersecurity students during the summer, including work in the following d omains: STEM, Clandestine, Analysis, or Enterprise and Support Roles. The application process requires a polygraph test, mental health evaluation, financial need, background checks, high academic marks, abstinence from drugs, and more. The award is substantial, however, at $18,000 plus a salary.5. NSF GRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMAward Amount: $46,000Another highly prestigious award, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is open to Master's and Doctoral students in STEM fields (including cybersecurity). Technically a fellowship, this award helps to fund graduate research. Recipients may choose to complete their research at any institution of higher learning or United States government lab. This highly prestigious appointment has been a hallmark of many STEM leaders, as evidenced by the 42 past recipients who have gone on to become Nobel Laureates. The award amount is for $46,000 a year.6. THE STOKES PROGRAMAward Amount: $30,000The Stokes program is yet another schola rship-for-service program with a sizable award. This award must be applied for in one's senior year of high school after being accepted to an accredited school. Successful applicants must be planning to pursue education in critical computer science fields including information assurance. One perk of scholarships applied for in high school is that – depending on the institution of higher education one attends – it is often easier to ace your GPA at the high school level. This award is only available to U.S. citizens, and it requires recipients to work at the NSA for 1.5 times the length of time they received the award after graduation.7. SOURCEFIRE SNORT SCHOLARSHIPAward Amount: $10,000The SourceFire Snort Scholarship may be for a lesser amount than some of the other scholarships listed, but it's open to students from their final year of high school through the doctoral level. There is also no work requirement for this scholarship. All that is required is proof of pursuance o f a computer science-related discipline and an application. Those who are relatives of employees at Cisco may not apply. Award amount is $10,000.8. RAYTHEON'S WOMEN IN CYBER SECURITY SCHOLARSHIPAward Amount: $8,000Raytheon's Women in Cyber Security Scholarship is available to female students studying at the Bachelor's through Doctoral levels and may be applied for in the senior year of high school. Requirements of applicants include an application, a minimum GPA of 3.0, U.S. citizenship, C/V, references, transcripts, statement of purpose, and reasonable assurance that applicants are pursuing a cyber security-related field. Recipients may be studying full-time, part-time, or online.9. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN STUDYING INFORMATION SECURITY (SWSIS) PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPAward Amount: $5,000-$10,000The Scholarships for Women Studying Information Security Program Scholarship program is funded by ACSA and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which has been a stalwart in the field of information a ssurance for several years now. The program is open to female students who are juniors and seniors in undergraduate study, as well as those pursuing Master's degrees. Applicants must show sustained interested in cybersecurity-related fields through major coursework, having held down a job in cybersecurity, or through participating in cybersecurity clubs. Award amounts vary from $5k-$10k.10. (ISC)² Graduate and Undergraduate ScholarshipsAward Amount: $5,000(ISC)² offers scholarships in the same denomination to both undergraduate and graduate students. A perk of these awards is that the application process is separate by degree level, leading to smaller applicant pools for undergraduate and graduate applicants. There is no service requirement for these scholarships, and there are no citizenship requirements. Undergraduate applicants must have a 3.0 GPA, while graduate applicants must have a 3.2 GPA or higher. Applicants in their senior year of undergraduate study may apply only fo r the graduate scholarship. Applicants must be studying in information security-related fields.ConclusionThe above are some of the most lucrative and opportunity-rich cyber security scholarships out there. There are many more, however, on Cyber Security Degrees' comprehensive list of cybersecurity scholarships. To find out more, click here.

Website launched to help country kids find university scholarships

"Who says the next Nobel Prize or a cure for cancer can't come from a country kid?"

YOU COULD BE HERE: Sydney University and other metropolitan tertiary institutions are more easily accessed than many regional school leavers believe.

THE Country Education Foundation (CEF) has launched a new online scholarships guide to help young rural and regional Australians access scholarships, grants and bursaries.

This purpose-built online search platform will allow students to locate hundreds of scholarships in just a few quick clicks.

There are hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships up for grabs each year, but knowing where to look and how to apply is a big hurdle for school leavers, especially country students who don't have easy access to tertiary institutions.

CEF has brought together scholarships from a broad range of facilities from across Australia in one easy to use website.

"Who says the next Nobel Prize or a cure for cancer can't come from a country kid who has been taught in a one-teacher school?" CEF chief executive officer Wendy Cohen asked.

"We are firm believers that your postcode shouldn't determine your destiny, this resource can make the task of finding additional financial assistance that much less overwhelming for school leavers.

"School leavers from rural and regional Australia have just as much potential as kids who grow up in the city but are being locked out of further education because of financial pressures and a lack of access to opportunities."

Ms Cohen said CEF is committed to levelling the higher education playing field for rural and regional students.

"Accommodation, course fees, textbooks and equipment and travel is just too much for a lot of students and their families. Relocation costs, accommodation and living expenses are closing the door on opportunity for a lot of country kids and that's just not fair."

"If we can help with that through offering our Scholarships Guide as well as our own local foundation grants, we are helping open doors and closing the education attainment gap." 

The CEF 2018 scholarships guide is available at www.cef.org.au.

'B-Involved' scholarships offered in memory of Madison Scouting leader

MADISON – The borough-based Team Eagle Foundation is accepting applications for the 2017 Bob Beaman "B-Involved" Scholarship, established in memory of the late Robert Beaman of Madison to recognize young adults who are conscious of and committed to their communities.

In total, he devoted 37 years as a Boy Scout volunteer at both the local level in Madison, and the Patriots' Path Council of the Boy Scouts of America, which serves young men and women in central and northern New Jersey in some 150 communities, including Madison, the Chathams and Florham Park.

Mr. Beaman also was an active member of the Madison Environmental Commission, where he helped create the "Adopt-a-Park" volunteer program to maintain Madison's parks, as well as recycling initiatives, and "anti-idling" efforts to control auto emissions in the borough.

Mr. Beaman was a Little League coach and Boy Scout and Venture Scout leader for more than 37 years. "As a mentor and adviser, Bob believed the local youth and young adults to be intelligent, caring and capable leaders of the future," the Team Eagle Foundation stated, concluding that Mr. Beaman "never wavered in his support of his hometown."

The "B-Involved" Scholarship provides a $1,000 stipend to young adults who have a demonstrated history of community service and volunteerism. In the past two years, $8,000 in scholarships moneys have been awarded to deserving young men and women.

• Are upcoming seniors in high school and/or have not yet completed their secondary education at a college, university or technical school;

• Lived, worked, attended school and/or been involved in a Madison or Chatham-based community program, and

• Have been affiliated with a Scouting program — Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Venture Scouts, and LEDR — are eligible.

Applicants must have a demonstrated history of community service and volunteerism as well as academic and personal achievement.

Application forms are now available online at www.tef-ledr.org. Completed applications should be mailed to: The Bob Beaman "B-Involved" Scholarship, Team Eagle Foundation, 198 Kings Road, Madison, N.J. 07940. All applications must be postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017.

Scholarship offers up for female leaders in horticulture

CURRENT and emerging female leaders in the horticulture industry can apply for a leadership development scholarship opportunity valued at up to $5470.

The scholarships come as university research shows agriculture might be doing better than other industries in terms of balancing gender representation. 

The Hort Innovation and Women & Leadership Australia (WLA) funded scholarship grants cover up to 60 per cent of the cost of the programs.

The funding is specifically designated for women working in all horticulture sectors who are emerging leaders or have mid-level management and leadership experience.

Hort Innovation chief executive, John Lloyd, said the 2017 Gender Equality Insights report showed that men in agriculture, forestry and fishery industries are paid 18.9 per cent more than women.

"Women in the industry have given us the feedback that they would like additional tools to empower them in what is a male dominated industry," he said.

"On top of this, an ageing workforce, limited access to formal leadership training, declining interest in studying horticulture and a lack of support around post-graduate research means that it is very hard for women to progress and develop in this field.

"This scholarship program will address some of the issues women face, and give them the tools needed to support long and profitable careers in horticulture."

Charles Sturt University (CSU) Emeritus Professor Jim Pratley says in terms of gender balance in agricultural education, the scales have tipped but more is needed to support the women in the workforce.

Professor Pratley will present a paper, "Agriculture – from macho to gender balance" at the Australian Agronomy Conference next week in Ballarat in Victoria.

"For 100 years, agricultural education in Australia was provided for males only," Professor Pratley said.

BALANCING ACT: Charles Sturt University (CSU) Emeritus Professor, Jim Pratley, will present a paper, "Agriculture – from macho to gender balance" at the Australian Agronomy Conference next week in Ballarat in Victoria.

"Specialist agricultural high schools and post-secondary agricultural colleges were established but in almost all cases the early versions of these institutions described their mission as educating boys, lads or young men.

"From the 1970s onwards women were admitted to almost all agricultural education institutions but it took until 2003 for gender balance become a reality in university agriculture.

"This was some 15 years after gender balance had been reached across the university sector."

Professor Pratley said agriculture can now be considered one of the success stories of gender balance, particularly in respect of agricultural education and training.  

"Since 2003 female enrolments in Australian universities in agriculture has exceeded enrolment by males.

"Agriculture gender percentages are now on par with the average enrolments across all areas, and similar to those in commerce and the sciences."

Horticulture scholarship applicants can choose from two courses: Executive Ready and the Accelerated Leadership Performance Program.

The blended courses are delivered on a part-time basis over four or seven months respectively.

Participants will learn skills such as heightened presence and influence, managing team dynamics, driving performance and leading innovation and change.

The funding is available to individuals and groups of employees who own or work within levy-paying businesses.

Ten women are currently participating in the two courses after the launch of the program earlier this year.

WLA Head of School Kelly Rothwell said it is fantastic to see the momentum quickly generated by the initiative.

"I take great pride in the fact that 10 women from the horticulture sector are already participating in these leadership development courses," she said.

"WLA is thrilled to be working with Hort Innovation and playing a key role in transforming the lives of many women right throughout the industry."

For more information and to apply, visit the WLA website. Expressions of interest close on Friday, October 27 at 5pm AEDT.

Beaver Brook seeks donations to match scholarship gift

[501(c)3]

HOLLIS – In order to provide scholarships for underserved children to attend summer camp and underfunded schools to afford class trips to Beaver Brook's "outdoor classroom," a generous donor has challenged the Hollis-based nonprofit nature education organization to match his $50,000 grant offer.

Wisconsin businessman David Woods has promised the grant if Beaver Brook Association can match it. Woods, who grew up in Pepperell, Mass., with his friend and long-time Beaver Brook naturalist Pete Smith, has issued the challenge in honor of his friend, who helped pioneer the concept of scholarships to Beaver Brook. Inspired by their own experience when many years ago the two were able to attend camp thanks to need-based scholarships they have decided to pay it forward. Woods and Smith were Cub Scouts together in Pepperell about 65 years ago when they were the beneficiaries of a week of summer camp provided by Woods' church and the Boy Scouts.

Beaver Brook Association is seeking donations to match the $50,000 grant to establish the Pete Smith Scholarship Fund, which will enable children in need to attend summer camp and schools from low income neighborhoods to provide transportation and programming for educational class trips to Beaver Brook. A donation of $250 will provide a week-long summer camp experience to a child or a two-hour educational class trip for 25 students. Woods' pledge will double the number of children who benefit if the organization can meet the challenge. To date, Beaver Brook Association has raised almost $35,000 toward the goal and hopes to raise the rest by the end of September when the challenge is due. Tax deductible checks supporting this endowment fund should be made out to: Beaver Brook Association with "Pete Smith Scholarship fund" on the memo line and mailed to Beaver Brook Association, 117 Ridge Road, Hollis, N.H. 03049. Online donations can be made at www.beaverbrook.org by clicking the donate now button and entering "Pete Smith Scholarship fund" on the individual's name line in the In Honor of section.

Beaver Brook Association is a 53-year-old nonprofit land conservation and nature education organization with trail-laden acreage in Hollis, Brookline and Milford.

Lyft offers 400 scholarships for online self-driving car course

Lyft says that people "from all backgrounds and perspectives" should have the opportunity to contribute to the future of transportation in the form of self-driving cars. "Diversity is crucial for creating solutions that serve everyone, and ridesharing is for everyone," the company writes on its website. "That's why these scholarships will specifically target communities that are underrepresented in technology in the US."

In addition, Lyft will provide mentorship opportunities through its lyf, which is where the company houses its self-driving division. The nanodegree itself will cover topics like "machine learning, object-oriented programming and probabilistic robotics."

Of course, if self-driving cars aren't your thing, you can always enroll in Udacity's new Flying Car nanodegree (which really focuses more on drones than actual airborne autos).

Topeka High grad earns scholarship via national retailer

Lydeah Kearse of Topeka will be honored as the winner of the first Ashley Stewart Leadership Scholarship Saturday at the "Finding Ashley Stewart 2017" finale in New York.

The international retailer will award Kearse the $10,000 scholarship at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, N.Y., where the clothing company was founded in 1991. They are also covering the expenses of her flight, transportation, hotel and giving her VIP tickets.

Kearse is a sophomore entrepreneurship student in the College of Business and Economics at North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University in Greensboro, N.C. She is the 19-year-old daughter of George and Sharon Kearse of Topeka. She has one sister JoVan Kearse, who lives in Tennessee.

"I'm extremely proud of her. Whatever she puts her heart to or puts her mind to she gives 100 percent, and I'm not like that myself. I'm just her fan club, I mean I'm just her biggest cheerleader. Her dad and I both are," Sharon Kearse said. "She just has something in her — it's a winning attitude. She's really making her name in North Carolina," her mother added, who is flying to New York from Kansas to be with her daughter for the scholarship presentation.

Ashley Stewart Scholarship winner.

Lydeah Kearse learned about the school-wide scholarship for sophomore and junior women and certain business majors through an email sent by the N.C. A&T School of Business. No other schools participated in the scholarship application process. "It was specifically given to a N.C. A&T student," she said.

The Ashley Stewart executive chairman and CEO James Rhee "came to a business forum for women's empowerment earlier in the year," Lydeah Kearse said of the launch of the scholarship, via Facebook Video Chat.

She applied in late June and was notified she was one of 10 female finalists the first weekend of July. She was required to submit an application, and an essay describing how she demonstrated leadership qualities, and a one-minute personal video.

"I had to have a 3.5 or above (GPA), show financial need, write an essay explaining what leadership was to me, how have I shown it in my community and how will I continue to show it in the future," Lydeah Kearse said.

The scholarship will be applied to her second semester of her sophomore year in the spring of 2018 at N.C. A&T.

"Being an out of state student, the tuition is very, very high," she said on what inspired her to apply for the scholarship.

"And I appreciate that Lydeah. That takes the strain off of my pocketbook," her mom added.

"She has real good studying habits. She's thousands of miles away and she's finding her way. She's connected with the church. She's connected with good people and I couldn't have done that, maybe I could have, but I don't think I could have at that young of an age. I'm just proud of her that she's able to just survive on her own," Kearse's mom said.

The family attends Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Topeka.

She currently has partial scholarships to attend N.C. A&T she received her senior year at Topeka High School in 2016 where she was all-school president, madrigal president, named outstanding senior, was a National Honor Society student, and a varsity swimmer and member of the varsity dance team.

"In the future I plan on owning a dance studio, in efforts of expanding representation for all races in the dance world," Lydeah Kearse said. "And just allow opportunities to those who don't typically get the opportunity to dance," she added.

"Today it's Lydeah's, it's her cross that she's bearing, but you keep doing it 'cause you're not only doing it for you you're doing it for someone else, so that tomorrow will look different," Sharon Kearse said of her daughter's struggles as an African-American dancer.

She is training around the state of North Carolina at different workshops. "I teach at a studio here (North Carolina) and I teach back home at a couple of studios (Topeka) — The Dance Factory and Radiant," she said.

She has been dancing since she was three years old, and currently teaches girls 6 to 18 years old.

"It's a release and it allows me to express the things that I can't express verbally," Lydeah Kearse said on what dancing means to her.

LSTAR announces 2017 Student Scholarship Award recipients

The London and St. Thomas Association of Realtors (LSTAR) has awarded $6,000 to four outstanding students, supporting their post-secondary endeavours.

Gator Club kicks off with scholarship fundraiser

The Citrus County Gator Club (CCGC) held its annual Scholarship Fundraiser Kick-off Party Aug. 26 at the Citrus County Auditorium in Inverness.

The CCGC is part of the University of Florida Alumni Association and is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization. The primary mission of the Gator Club is to award a $1,500 scholarship to a University of Florida-bound senior from each of Citrus County's high schools. With the CCGC Charles R. Bellamy Endowment Fund, which awards a $1,500 scholarship to community college student transferring the University of Florida, the Citrus County Gator Club this year awarded $12,000 in scholarship funds to eight University of Florida-bound students from Citrus County.

The Citrus County Gator Club's ability to increase its scholarship level, in large part, was due to the success of the Swamp Scramble held at the Black Diamond Ranch Quarry Golf Course last May. The founder, and director of the Swamp Scramble, President-elect Clint Collins, said the CCGC raised over $19,000 the first time out. Collins looks forward to even greater success next year when the Scramble is moved to Saturday, May 5, 2018.

This year, the scholarship recipients were: Paisley Peyton and Rachel Ramm, Citrus High School; Kelly Laplante and Patrick Brennan, Crystal River High School; Ajay Patel and Kaitlynn Weidner, Lecanto High School; and Anabelle Gardner, Seven Rivers Christian. Tarolyn Plumley, from the College of Central Florida, won the CCGC Charles R. Bellamy Endowment Scholarship. Since 1987, the local club has awarded 104 scholarships.

WYKE'ss Dennis Miller was master of ceremonies for the kickoff party, which opened with the presentation of the colors by the Citrus High School Air Force ROTC and the National Anthem, sung by Citrus High School Breeze. Rod Fischer, Region III vice president of the University of Florida Alumni Association Gator Clubs, explained the importance of the honor that the Citrus County Gator Club has won for the second consecutive year, the Most Outstanding Mid-Size Club in the state. Fischer also congratulated Mike DeLucia for winning the Leader of the Year award for all the Gator Clubs in the nation.

Corporate table sponsors, vital to the CCGC's scholarship fundraising, were Fancy's Pets, River Region Animal Hospital, Eagle Buick GMC, Brannen Bank, F.O. Brigade LLC., Nick Nicholas Ford and Everclear Pool Service & Repair Inc. with two tables.

Attendees enjoyed raffles, a silent auction organized by Wayne Crump, and Pam Padgett's grab bags. As usual, people savored the barbecued pulled pork prepared by CCGC President Bob Padgett.

Product Description

Common useTadacip belongs to the class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5). When sexual stimulation occurs, Tadacip enables a man's penis to fill with enough blood to cause an erection. In men with erectile dysfunction a blood flow to the penis is not enough to produce erection. The main component of Tadacip is Tadalafil, it relaxes smooth muscles, widens blood vessels in the penis and this allows blood to fill cavernous bodies and result in erection. After sexual act erection disappears as in normal circumstances. Erection cannot be achieved by just taking Tadacip, it requires sexual stimulation. Active substance of the medication is Tadalafil.

Dosage and directionUsual recommended dose is one 20 mg Tadacip (Generic Cialis) tablet per day. Consult your doctor as you may need correction of your dose due to certain conditions you have. The elder people may be more liable to the side effects of Tadalafil; therefore caution is advised to exercise in this group.

Precaut ionsTadacip should not be used in men with cardiac disease for whom sexual activity is inadvisable. There is no information about priapism when erectile dysfunction is treated by Tadacip, but in patients treated with with another PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil it may occur. If your erection lasts 4 hours or more you should seek immediate medical assistance to avoid permanent damage to your penis. Inform your doctor before to take Tadacip if you have abnormal penis, including curved penis and birth defects of the penis, had coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, angina, heart attack or heart failure, hypo- or hypertension, bleeding, stomach ulcers, diabetes, hyperlipidemia (excess of lipids in the blood), sickle-cell anemia, liver or kidney failure in history.

ContraindicationsTadacip is contraindicated in patients who are using any form of organic nitrate, either regularly and/ or intermittently as it is able to potentiate their hypotensive effect.

Possible side effectMost comm on side effects of Tadacip are headache, myalgia (muscle pain), dyspepsia (upset stomach following meals) and back pain. Some patients may experience facial flushing (reddening), headaches, stomach upset, diarrhea, flu-like symptoms and nausea. In more rare cases low blood pressure, blurred vision and changes in color vision, and abnormal ejaculation may occur.

Drug interactionTry to avoid grapefruit juice, alcoholic beverages, tobacco when you use Tadacip. If you smoke tobacco and take Tadacip concomitantly this may lead to a condition called NAION (sudden optic nerve-related vision loss). Avoid taking Tadacip with medications such as Erythrityl Tetranitrate, Isosorbide Dinitrate, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Nitroglycerin, Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate. Levels and toxicity of Tadacip are increased by erythromycin, ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), indinavir (Crixivan) and ritonavir (Norvir). Inform your doctor if you are taking Atazanavir, Bunazosin, Clarithromycin, Doxazosin, Erythromycin, Indinavir, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole, Moxisylyte, Nefazodone, Nelfinavir, Phenoxybenzamine, Phentolamine, Prazosin, Saquinavir, Telithromycin, Terazosin, Trimazosin, Urapidil as your Tadacip dose may require correction. Inform your doctor about all prescribed and over-the-country medications and herbal products you are taking.

Missed doseTadacip is taken when needed before a sexual intercourse so no missed dose is supposed.

OverdoseSeek for immediate medical help if you believe that took too much of this medication.

StorageStore at room temperature between 59-86 F (15-30 C) away from light and moisture.

SEED scholarship works for students 'in the middle:' Delaware Voices

Samantha Constantine and David Satran Published 8:13 a.m. ET Sept. 8, 2017 | Updated 3:40 p.m. ET Sept. 8, 2017

Samantha Constantine graduated from Sussex Tech in 2011 and earned an associate in arts, a bachelor's in social studies education and a master's degree in world history from the University of Delaware.(Photo: Submitted)

About this time six years ago I sat nervously in a classroom at Delaware Tech's Owens Campus in Georgetown. That summer I had graduated from Sussex Tech and enrolled in the University of Delaware's Associate in Arts Program (AAP), a partnership with DTCC. 

AAP students set out to earn an associate's degree in Georgetown, Dover or Wilmington before transitioning to UD's Newark campus. There they can complete a baccalaureate degree and choose a major from more than 150 fields of study. 

Other Voices: Inequitable funding system holding schools back

This fall, more than 350 students will begin their UD education like I did, at a campus outside of Newark. 

Like many of my classmates, I didn't yet know what I wanted to study and felt uncertain of what my future held. It's a feeling that many of this year's new college students at post-secondary schools up and down the state may share. 

David Satran is director of UD's Associate in Arts program. (Photo: Submitted)

Their parents may also be feeling uneasy sending their high school grads off to college, even if the students are day commuters like me who return home after class. 

Fortunately, many Delawarean students and parents won't have to worry about crippling college debt this fall, and neither did I. The Student Excellence Equals Degree (SEED) scholarship, generously supported by the State of Delaware, is available to Delaware high school graduates who study full time with the AAP or at DTCC. 

SEED began in 2005 with a bill sponsored by Sen. Harris McDowell. It covers tuition costs while students complete their degree, provided they earn good grades and make steady progress. Students and their families need only pay for books and some fees.

SEED is especially valued by students like me who may not be quite ready to leave the nest and want to be Blue Hens while remaining at home in Kent or Sussex County. 

Other Voices: We must rebuild the middle class

It may surprise some folks that SEED is need-blind. They may associate scholarships solely with the highest-achieving students or those who come from trying financial circumstances. Instead SEED is available to all Delaware high school graduates who have done well in school and not been convicted of a felony. 

While there has been and continues to be overwhelming support for SEED in Delaware, some express concern over the cost to taxpayers and the soundness of a free education. They question how much students can value what they pay nothing for. 

 They don't want to see money wasted on students who aren't serious. Like us all, they want to see taxpayer dollars spent well. 

While there's certainly merit to these views, I'm grateful SEED applies to students in the middle like me. The federally funded Pell Grant serves those who are most in need of financial aid, while competitive merit scholarships reach the brightest.

SEED gives other Delawareans a chance at college success. Without the scholarship, many students in the middle might not bother applying to UD, they and their parents turned off by the prospect of debt. They may not feel they're high-achieving enough to pursue the top scholarships; while their parents may feel they earn too much to be eligible for state aid. SEED is a lifeline for a lot of Delawareans, and our state is a national leader by making it available. 

As a need-blind scholarship, SEED is easy to explain and understand: It provides Delawarean students a nearly risk-free shot at a top-rate education.

SEED isn't perfect and could be improved further still by covering tuition for winter and summer terms that it currently excludes. Although this change would require greater state support, it would help students maintain their full-time status and complete their degrees. 

Ultimately, SEED allows students to stay close to their roots while expanding their horizons. It's a state-supported program that's having a positive impact on students and their families in all three counties.

A college education may not be for every Delaware high school graduate. But every graduate ought to give it serious consideration and have the chance to attend. We all benefit from a diverse applicant pool and student body that makes room for students in the middle like me. I always thought I would be the next Steve Irwin, but it was in a classroom in Georgetown six years ago that I discovered my passion for history. Had SEED not given me the opportunity to explore different subjects, I would not have recently graduated with a master's degree in world history from UD.

So with all of those possibilities in mind, I hope that present and future students will take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them by SEED and that one day they will be proud to contribute as taxpayers to this scholarship. I know I am.

CloudNOW Launches Inaugural STEM Scholarships Underwritten by Google and Accenture

Fund to enable women studying technical fields to advance their learning at both accredited and alternative vocational institutions

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--CloudNOW, the executive consortium for the leading women in cloud and converging technologies, today announced the launch of its first STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Scholarship Fund.

"Technology has always been driven from a grass roots level up and shown that the best minds, when given a chance, can change the world. This scholarship is concrete step in leveling the technology playing field."

"The cloud is playing a pivotal role in how the world's leading enterprises transform their business operations, so it's especially important that we spotlight the new skills and methods needed for a successful Journey to the Cloud. Accenture is committed to initiatives like this scholarship, which help nurture the next generation of innovative and diverse technology talent, while removing barriers to employment," said Jack Sepple, Senior Managing Director, Accenture Cloud and Accenture Operations Group Technology Officer.

White is from Tyler, Texas, and was also the 2016 recipient of the John H. Battison Founder's Scholarship. He discovered amateur radio at the age of 14, and within two months earned his Extra Class license. White learned most of knowledge of electronics from reverse engineering and repairing old radios, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and similar other devices given to him by members of his local ham radio club. Also, several of his ham radio acquaintances worked in the broadcast industry, and he soon began following them around learning about the big radios. He is currently a senior at LeTourneau University, studying for an engineering degree. He also works as a consulting engineer for many radio stations in the East Texas area.

Carlisle is based in Mesa, Ariz., and began his career in broadcast working as a freelance system design engineer focusing on recording studios, post-production facilities, and broadcast facilities in 2000 while in New York. In December 2004, he joined the staff of Trade the News. For eight years, he helped design and expanded its web-based subscription Squawk Box service. In 2012, Carlisle joined Fox News as a broadcast maintenance assistant of the Quartermasters department. In 2014, he moved to Phoenix to join the staff of NBC-affiliate KPNX as the staff broadcast maintenance engineer. In 2016, he joined Sneaky Big Studios as studio engineer and now manages all broadcast and technical operations. He received his CBTE in 2017 and is continuing his education at Mesa Community College to prepare for his CBNE and Cisco Certified Network Associate in 2018 upon completion of the Cisco Networking Academy–CCNA program.

Kyobe is from  Kampala, Uganda, and began his career in radio broadcast and IT engineer seven years ago at the age of 25 at Capital Radio Limited, Kampala, Uganda, which is part of Radio Africa Group. That same year he completed his two-year university diploma in telecommunications engineering at the Uganda Institute of Information And Communications Technology. He is an SBE Certified Broadcast Radio Engineer and Certified Broadcast Networking Engineer. He joined the SBE in 2015 through an employer sponsorship to attend the 139th AES Convention in New York, where he met two SBE members — the first time he had met a certified broadcast engineer. He is now the first and only certified broadcast radio engineer and certified broadcast networking engineer in Uganda and east Africa.

Gerber lives in Anaheim, Calif., and is is an incoming freshman attending California State University of Monterey Bay. She will study human communications and cinematic arts with the goal of a career in broadcast media, to direct and inform an audience on ways to go about conscious living and consumerism. She currently works as a paid intern at Empire Media Productions, where she provides media services to local government.

The Society of Broadcast Engineers is the professional organization of television and radio engineers and those in related fields.

LHS Seniors Looking to Establish a Class Scholarship

Summer may not be officially over, but the doors of Lakewood City Schools have opened and our community is again filled the laughter of children during recess and the ring of school bells throughout our neighborhoods. While district students at Lakewood High School are focusing on homework, Friday nights, and planning for their future, they are also looking to give back to their community. The days for LHS Seniors are dwindling and as these students reflect upon their time in Lakewood, they are beginning to realize the many gifts afforded to them by this community, sparking a desire to give back. The LHS senior class is looking to promote academic success, active volunteerism, and a continuation into secondary education through the establishment of a Class of 2018 Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship will be given out annually to a graduating high school senior pursuing secondary-education who has shown a commitment to school leadership, character-building, and volunteerism. The Class of 2018 Scholarship Fund will be hosted by the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation (formerly the Lakewood Alumni Association) where the money donated will be pooled and invested, allowing for long-term growth and sustainability to support an annual scholarship. In order to establish this permanent annual scholarship these students are seeking to fundraise $7,000 through two main avenues.

This Wednesday September 6th, the LHS Senior Class has partnered with Angelo's Pizza to run an fundraiser where whenever a customer mentions the scholarship fund, 20% of their bill will be directly donated. However if you are unable to attend or you are looking to additionally help Lakewood High School, anyone can make this scholarship possible by directly donating to this project. One can visit the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation website to donate online, or one can mail a check to 14100 Franklin Blvd. Lakewood, OH 44107 making it out to the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation and writing in the note line Class of 2018 Scholarship. This scholarship will only be possible with the generous donations of Lakewood students, alumni, teachers, residents, and caring individuals. If you have any questions please contact the executive director of the Lakewood Rangers Education Foundation, Terri M. Richards at terri.richards@lakewoodcityschools.org or 216-529-4033.

Please help the Class of 2018 begin its path in giving back to the Lakewood community that has always been so supportive of the Lakewood City School system.

Dalit student faces expulsion from Portugal University as Kerala govt fails to provide scholarship

Thrissur: A dalit girl's dream of earning a post-graduate degree from a foreign university has hit a roadblock – thanks to the lackadaisical attitude of the Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government in Kerala.

Rima Rajan will be forced to discontinue the studies at Coimbra University in Portugal as lapses from the part of the government cost her a deserving scholarship.

Rima, native of Kodakara in Thrissur district, was studying MSc (Business Management) at the university. Her family had been frequenting the scheduled castes (SC) department at the Secretariat for the past one-and-a half years for a scholarship so that she can pay the university dues. As usual, the bureaucrats turned a deaf ear to her pleas.

Finally, to the utter shame of all Keralites, she got a note from the university that says: "We had given you three months' time, considering your academic excellence. But we cannot allow you to continue. You will be expelled from the university if you do not pay the money before September 2."

Rima's father Rajan had met many, including minister A.K. Balan, saying that his daughter would have to discontinue her studies if she failed to get the scholarship. Rajan says nobody bothered to act. In spite of citing the university's letter, all that the people in authority would say was, "Wait, the file is being checked again." The bureaucrats at the SC department alleged that many people went abroad for 'unnecessary' courses and sought scholarships without discretion.

The law mandates that if an SC student goes abroad for a course that is not available in India, the entire expenses have to be paid as scholarship. Even though MBBS seats are available in plenty in India, many have been granted scholarship to study medical courses in China, based on this provision. In the case of Rima, however, it was refused despite convincing officials that this was a course that was not offered in India.

The SC Commission had responded positively when Rima's complaint was brought to its attention, but even that did not move the file. While the university's termination memo sets a deadline of 5pm Satuday, Rima can still continue if the government provides a letter of guarantee that the money will be paid. That is the last chance. For Rima and for the government. Just a few hours to that.
