This article is a reflection on engaging with the HEA from a TNE perspective to highlight some of the successful practices I adapted while teaching at the Academy of Design Colombo (AOD), a partner institution of Northumbria University, Newcastle, which delivers a franchised three-year BA design programme in Sri Lanka.
I am an Indian communication designer currently based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. My design education and training has been in India and the UK. After completing my undergraduate studies (I have a professional diploma in Visual Communication Design from the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, India), I worked with renowned Indian product designer Michael Foley to expand my knowledge base by working in multidisciplinary teams and getting exposure to spatial design, brand extensions, and visual merchandising. After a year of working in the industry, I wanted to explore design research and critical discourse and relocated to the UK to take the MA Graphic Design program at Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. After graduating in November 2013 I joined AOD as the Assistant Head of the BA (Hons) Graphic Design department. My experience in Sri Lanka has motivated me to pursue a PhD in design education and I am currently in the process of writing my proposal.
In 2015 the academic staff at AOD were encouraged to apply for HEA fellowships and it was a welcome opportunity for me to engage with a global community of practitioners, consider the work I was doing to overcome the challenges of transnational education in context of UKSPF, and get accreditation to show my commitment towards delivering a high quality learning experience as an academic facilitator in Sri Lanka. There were several benefits to applying for the HEA fellowship, mainly because it made me reflect on my teaching practices as a new academic, take note of positive interactions and achievements, and chart a path for further professional development.
The core academic staff at AOD came from a variety of nationalities and educational backgrounds, this allowed for alternative points of view and discourse on shaping the design curriculum to build on the diverse experiences of the student body and the regional requirements of Industry. My pedagogy and communication style stem from my research and reflection on teaching methods practiced in the UK and a continuous process of trial and error in content delivery. Developing locally situated project briefs was a really interesting part of my work. In 2014, for example, I facilitated a live packaging design project for second year BA students with an organic produce company Saaraketha Organics and in 2015 we offered two live projects for the same module; one with luxury brand Spa Ceylon and another with the Sri Lanka Aquatic Sports Union, I expanded the briefs to provide more options to get students to critically evaluate the development of their design portfolios. The module proved to be successful with employers and we were given positive feedback from sponsors of the briefs. In 2015, one of the student's designs was taken forward by Spa Ceylon for commercial production and provided valuable exposure to the selected student in terms of industry experience and the company Saaraketha Organics now has a position of in house designer which has been taken up by AOD alumni. I found that starting their second year of design education with a live project invigorated the students as they were able to see themselves as future professionals. The fellowship application process provided clarity of my understanding of learning styles conducive for South Asian students and aided my professional practice in delivering a high quality learning experience.
As part of staff professional development, AOD faculty made annual visits to Newcastle to engage with academic staff at Northumbria University and be part of a broader academic community of practice. The primary aim of the trip was to discuss course structure and execution to ensure the quality of education was in line with UK Quality standards, but we worked collaboratively to avoid blind standardisation of the courses when they are taught in Sri Lanka. The HEA Fellowship process made me reflect on the context of the course that I was delivering and evaluate the effectiveness of methods that I had developed to support student development.
In 2014, I participated in final year project grading prior to the Northumbria degree show. My experience of observing my UK peers helped me understand the standard of work expected from Northumbria University students and allowed me to make informed decisions while grading final year projects at AOD. We also had Northumbria University faculty (our link tutors) come to Sri Lanka annually during the year end assessment period to moderate grades given by the module tutors to ensure the grading criteria and work standards were adequately met. Having a dedicated link tutor for each department allowed for easier communication via email as well as collaboration between the two institutions since the tutors were clearly aware of the context and facilitates of the partner institute.
Writing the HEA Fellowship application helped provide clarity on the collaborative relationship we shared with our link tutors and the insights gained allowed me to facilitate interactions that took advantage of the close working relationship. In 2016, I collaborated with our partners in Newcastle to facilitate a Skype show and tell session for students to share and compare work created for a design competition. The experience was effective in motivating students and brought out the competitive spirit in them to fine tune their final presentations based on the quality of work shared. The course was also successful in the fact that students in Newcastle won internships to the JKR studio in London and one of the students at AOD won an internship at the JKR studio in Singapore. Incidentally, the opportunity in Singapore was introduced to me by our link tutor who knew procuring visas to the UK is difficult from Sri Lanka. Working collaboratively with our link tutors in Newcastle, we built communities of practice that could deliver a positive transnational education experience. The close working relationship between the two institutes and a clear understanding of the local constraints allowed us to design an academic experience that students in both institutes could benefit from.
My engagement with the HEA and the UKPSF was an opportunity to internationalise my professional development and a way to further develop a shared language with colleagues at Northumbria. It also facilitated the recognition of work being done at a relatively small educational institution that is strategically working towards providing a bespoke transnational learning experience which is rooted in the local context.

Task 1: I would classify my natural community as an upland northern hardwood forest. This is because water flows through as streams and the soils are always moist. In addition, the primary tree types in the area, such as maples and birches, are the hardwoods most associated with an upland northern hardwood forest. In addition, my natural community is at a high enough elevation above Lake Champlain so that the soil is not sand and clay, which is the type of soil that upland northern hardwood forests do not do well in.
Task 2: Since my last visit to my place, the snow and ice has melted, but new plants have not started to grow yet as it has still been cold. Due to the snow and ice melting, the soil has become muddy in places, but the are is well drained with no puddles present.
Task 3: I discovered that in my area, there are rare species present and the rare natural community of White Pine-Red Oak-Black Oak Forest. In addition, it borders on a wetland.

Jacob Zuma: You must tell his story correctly
22 September 2016
The first time I listened to President Jacob Zuma, then the Deputy President of the Republic, he was being interviewed on the challenges of the secondary economy relative to the advanced first economy and what is needed to provide support structures for this economy to progress and begin its upward mobility into the first economy.
I was aware, like most South African that this man had not gone to school so listening to him articulate these economic matters was very pleasant. It would be Pallo Jordan who would put this matter more skilfully, that despite all the reservations that may be there about the uneducated President Zuma, you must always remember that whatever he knows, he taught it himself.
There I concluded that given the vision of an economically transformed country envisaged, Zuma was fully equipped to take us into the next phase of the National Democratic Revolution. We were fresh off 10 years of economic growth which was characterized by a jobless growth which was not really transformational. The goal was clear, and in achieving this goal of Economic Transformation, we were not going to continue the false lull of substituting Economic Transformation with Economic Growth, that was a false delusion we could no longer afford to sell. Economic growth was not a necessary condition for Economic Transformation. We already had an economy, it was unequal, racially polarized and it needed serious and real transformation up and down its spectrum.
The democratic state had to take the lead in the transformation of our economy away from the fetters of the past, which constrains growth and development. Economic transformation is very much a key element for greater growth as more people come into the mainstream economy empowered by ownership and a willingness to work. It turns out Economic Transformation does not only make moral sense, it also makes economic sense.
There can be no dispute that Zuma's government has been dedicated to this Economic Transformation. There has been a sustained and substantial investment in economic and social infrastructure, built with methods with a bias towards labour intensive technologies.There has been an increasing of the access of the masses of the people to physical resources, particularly land, housing and community infrastructures.
Poverty reduction and eradication through job creation, skills development and budget interventions to increase the social wage, bearing in mind our limited means; Affirmative action, broad based black economic empowerment and other interventions designed to fast-track the inclusion of the previously marginalized in the mainstream economy and simultaneously transform the structure of the economy; Cooperative movements have been built, as well as the Developmental Micro-Finance movement in order to make a key contribution to the popular mobilization of our people for economic liberation. Mobilizing our communities in general, and targeted groups in particular - women, institutions working with children, people with disabilities, the youth and the elderly - to take up the black economic empowerment opportunities and to help us achieve the broad based development we seek.
This has not been enough for sure and many interventions may not have yielded the desired results. However the overall conclusion on transformation over the last 7 years has been that of a great leap forward.
What then is the cry about Zuma's record as a President? An Afrobarometer survey conducted in late 2008, before Zuma could put a single day in office as a President, revealed that respondents in the Western Cape had very little trust in the President. It showed, only 13 per cent of respondents in the Western Cape province, compared to 70 per cent in KwaZulu-Natal and 68 per cent in Mpumalanga, said they trusted the President 'always' or 'most of the time'. Perceptions of the trustworthiness of a political leader are critically important because they help voters to make judgement about the authenticity and persuasiveness of the messages put out by the leader.
This research is important for a variety of reasons. First it shows that the perception of many South Africans, particularly white South Africans about President Zuma has always been heavily negative. Secondly there is therefore no devolution of the peoples trust in the President that has happened over the years. Even before he could put a day in office, his ratings were barely off the single digits. He was effectively judged according to sins he may commit in future. The sad thing of course is that this pre-judgement of black leaders has followed both Madiba and Mbeki. In fact the National Party managed to convince both Whites and coloureds in 1994 of the looming black government and they won those elections.
The push to present a black president as a failure has been a permanent feature of our transition. In fact were it not because it serves the current agenda, Mbeki's legacy is defined by Zimbabwe (because he did not protect white interests) and HIV AIDS. In fact, in 1996, when the ink on the new constitution had not even dried up, Tony Leon was already accusing Madiba of not living up to the constitution. There has always been a permanent experiment to keep pressing until the ANC bends.
As I have already stated, President Zuma's decisions on Nkandla, Nene, Gupta are today being used to determine Zuma's legacy. This perception of course is being pushed by people who have actually done exceptionally well in the last 7-8 years of President Zuma's term, they have tripled their profits and their salaries, they have moved into better and higher paying jobs, they have bought new homes, got more education, and unlike the poor who genuinely would have a reason to draw a straight line with leaderships and their plight, it is those who are in positions of comfort, who, sitting in their homes on the hill, cannot possibly link their success with the President that is in charge.
It was only a matter of time until this permanent push on a Black Presidency would finally reach the black people who are susceptible to this profitable chamber of white applause. Whenever I try to pin down the issues that warrant this intense anti-Zuma posture, the specific reasons that make it necessary, the specific causes which we might feel bring it credence, the conversation with its champions always seem to follow a path of infinite regress.
Do you consider him a terrible President because many South Africans can't get jobs and can't upskill themselves to available jobs? But market distortions are predominantly the reason for this. Or perhaps it's because many children are on drugs? Perhaps it's because of your warm concern that people's homes have no heat and no decent living space? Maybe you can try to avoid such questions because the bell is also tolling for thee. It's safer to choose something esoteric as the rand/dollar exchange rate as an indulgence.
It important to open all motives out because it may be easy today to jump into the Anti-Zuma bandwagon, but tomorrow you or me or someone else may be the next President and the tactics to paint you as a failed President may haunt you still.

Nothing is as it appears. Well, rarely. Our lives are curated on social media. In public, most people try to put their best foot forward. In relationships, we often protect the most vulnerable parts of our selves. Kathy Daley is looking for what is hidden: the colourful, dark and rich truth. Bringing it to the surface is what she calls The Ache.
Her process begins on a black surface, pulling the truth out with light and heavy impasto oil paint. Kathy's work has its own hidden agenda: her private intentions often find their way in the scene. Her own life journey is played out in store windows as a mannequin or among the crowd in urban scenes.
If we can find a window of truth, in ourselves and in each other, maybe we can better understand what divides us.
Maybe we can put our finger on The Ache.

Jordan Series – Adventures In Aqaba & The Red Sea
But can you imagine living during those times or any following them? Such as during the Edomites era who are believed to have built the first port in Aqaba. Which led the region trade route development. How interesting it would be just for a minute to experience those times. Or during the Babylonian times when the Aqaba witnessed probably the growth period. Becoming kind of a central trading hub between Africa and Asia. Or during the Greek times when the Alexander the great stormed through the known world. It was described by a Greek historian to be "one of the most important trading cities in the Arab World".
It was the place that gave us the first few great and not so surprises. Bigger than the gasoline station toilets.
The Quarters
Our quarters luckily had the place for our carriage and the feed to keep it rested and full.
We were not able to identify if it was blood or just some paint on them. Luckily we had our translator with us since our custodian did not speak a speck of universal language. With the help of a translator (Google was his name), we have managed to barter for clean blankets to cover the mattresses.
While I and my girlfriend went to have a rest for the night. The 3 other companions decided to test out the local inn for the much heard Arabian coffee and food. Which being inexperienced explorers led to a food poisoning and diarrhea for the next day.
Exploring The Deep
We heard there is a hidden city under the water that sank a while back and no one was able to find. Surprisingly we were not able to do it also. However, the two locals that were living at the beach rented their gear from the campsite.
What the guys showed us was something few of us have ever seen. An underwater life. That is out of this world, but plagued by the pollution and fighting to survive.
From what the local wise man told us the place used to be teeming with wildlife. Friendly sharks, turtles and other creatures of the sea that come to nest in the coral reefs.
The guys at Go To Jordan have a pretty detail map with all the diving and snorkeling sites – http://www.your-guide-to-aqaba-jordan.com/aqaba-dive-sites.html. The one above that we went to was the Japanese Gardens.
The End Of The Day
We found a trade table that was owned by the Bedouin (at) who traded in tea and spices from whom we bought our first spices to take home and 10 steps away we bought our first carpet that we took home.
The best part of all was the surprise the locals gave to the foreign explorers – they accepted us as friends that arrived from a far away lands. With warmth, smiles, and kindness. Very few places offer such a greeting.
Next stop Wadi Rum!

15/01/2015 07:17Yes, @MichaelKline, a great traffic exchange, one of the
best and the biggest in the world.
I guess it's a pet-peeve of mine, and I've seen it all through the
years, but misrepresentation of programs isn't good and it doesn't
look good for the one doing it either.
EasyHits4U is a good source of free traffic, I just checked, and I could do
a cashout there right now.and although it is not intended
to be a moneymaker, It's much easier to reach cashout there
than at a PTC.

15/01/2015 19:29@ paidadvert if you like that one give top surfer a try I use it mostly for the traffic but the paid solo ads add up. Just got paid yesterday $10 and change and expect another $10 in 2 weeks. Of course the good thing is that I had tons of emails in my email from years ago that are still good. They never run out. Lucky me.
I may have enough in easy hits 4 u. I haven't checked it lately. I just use it for traffic. I never think to look at the earnings there.

17/01/2015 00:59@hlrive--
RE: Donkeymails, No-minimum, are both paid to read and paid to click. On average, I get 10 emails a day at both--but if you check the paid to click and point to click banners, there are usually anywhere from 80-150 per day on Donkey, and 60-90 on no-minimum.
In my book, that makes them far more PTC than PTR . Given that they are also PTP and have manual traffic exchanges as well, the most accurate acronym would be the good old school GPT, come to think of it...
And Easy hits 4 U, TE/ PTS.
BTW, do we have threads for Traffic G, Hit Bandit and New Way Surf yet? Traffic G has been around as long as Easy hits, and it pays as well. I've always found the traffic from there high value.
Hit bandit offers traffic exchange, PTR, PTC and you can buy and sell credits in the marketplace--been around quite a while, and it also pays.
New way is relatively new, but it pays, has high quality traffic, and multiple upgrades--you can get up to 100 credits per view if you take the top super surfer upgrade. This dynamic surf thing they have going on has proven to be very useful.
Those are MY top ones, other than Easy Hits
We should probably organize this area into broad subcategories at some point, so people can find the information being collected...

17/01/2015 21:44@ chrystalia
I fully agree you should just have one thread for just traffic exchanges that pay and another one for Paid to click sites.
I know I have been doing the traffic exchanges for years I think TS I have been doing now for 8+ years. I have made a few hundred there over the years, and I still have close to a million hit credits.
A little bit newer site would be LTN you make 4 cents a day just visiting the 4 daily visit sites. Then I always surf my 27 sites a day. I love it though for traffic, and have gotten referrals through there for other things.
There are tons of traffic sites that pay us for surfing however it depends on how much surfing you want to do and how long you are willing to wait to reach that payout. LTN I joined under a friend. Had I of known the payout was at $10 I never would have joined it. However I made that up by getting 3 referrals in a paid to click. So it works for me. A couple more months of being there and I will have my payout, and my referrals. The worst part is she told me last week she quit LTN because it was taking to long to reach the payout lol. Looks like I am going to get the pay day instead of her for once.

text: Share: Comments Print April 29, 2008 at 12:21 PM Jackson in action Posted by Jayda Evans The Storm kicked-off its media campaign this week, going with the predictable "The Perfect Storm" slogan. At the heart of every ad so far is reigning league MVP Lauren Jackson. The Aussie is in Russia with Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi (Phoenix) trying to win their second consecutive SuperLeague championship. Spartak Moscow defeated Vologda-Chevakata 82-56 today and Jackson led with 17 points. If you're missing Jackson (and see if you can spot the pic of Bird in the background of the video), check out this video from ABC News on Jackson wanting to win gold in Beijing this summer. Interesting note she makes regarding salary — she makes in one season in Russia what would take "five to six years" to make in the WNBA. Heard from an agent who traveled overseas that Jackson looks better than ever and must have dropped 10-pounds to get into even better playing shape. That's just scary if you remember how she ended last WNBA season averaging 26.1 points in her final 10 games. Jackson's Aussies look better prepared than the Americans, especially since Team USA hasn't decided on a roster nor as really had everyone together to train. You knew it would be this way in a transition year as stars like Sheryl Swoopes and Dawn Staley stepped aside, but…Lisa Leslie (Los Angeles) isn't concerned, at least. According to this video, she only counts the Olympics as the real competition and therefore the Americans remain undefeated. Comments

Recently, I downloaded MapSuite 10 free licence. For many years we used as a company MapSuite 2, and we have decided to try the new edition. We develop a Winforms application for tracking vehicles. I have begun to adapt our old code from MapSuite 2 to the new edition and I have a few questions. I load a WGS84 map from shape files and an OpenStreet map. In my app, I have a toggle button which allows the user to switch between the two maps. When the user switch from one map to another I want the map to have the same zoom level and show the same place, our main map have GeogrphyUnit= DecimalDegree and OpenStreetMaps use Meter. My other question is how can I load Openstreet maps as background and load shape files (.shp WGS84) above them, and show them both.
OpenStreet Maps and WGS84 map
Hi Mario,
The solution is set map unit equal meter.
And assign projection to the shape file layer convert it from epsg 4326(WGS 84) to 3857.
The code should looks like:
Proj4Projection proj4 = new Proj4Projection(4326, 3857);
ShapeFileFeatureLayer layer = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer("Your Shape File");
layer.FeatureSource.Projection = proj4;
Our V10 API should be different than V2, you can learn more about them in our wiki.thinkgeo.com, or you can view our sample in https://github.com/thinkgeo
Wish that's helpful.
Hi Mario,
Please directly reply us here:
I noticed you hadn't mentioned which edition you are using, because the detail implement is not the same for all edition, so I hadn't built a sample for you. Please let us know what version you are using.
About vehicle we have a group sample about it, you can view them and wish that's helpful: https://github.com/ThinkGeo?utf8=✓&q=vehicle&type=&language=
About the map disappear when mousedown and appear when mouseup, that's related with your detail code, I think we can try to reproduce it after make sure your version.
Choose marker and image is decided by your scenario, your feature number and your edition choosen.
Wish that's helpful.
- We are using MapSuite 10
2.I already have downloaded this sample, but I have a problem with OleDB and I cannot see the vehicles.
3.The map does not disappear, the markers and their images disappear.
It is important for our application to use tooltip and context menu. This is the reason I used marker. Is there any other way except using markers?
Hi Mario,
I means Web Edition, Desktop Editon or WPF Edition, I checked your order, it looks you are using DesktopEdition.
The sample should based on MapSuite 10.2, now our version should be 10.3, you should want to update the package to latest version. If your OleDB have problem, I think you can solve it by install Microsoft package or install Office to solve it. And you can also modify the code, build virtual vehicle instead of read it from MDB file, The function should be GetCurrentVehicle.
I build a very simple sample, please view it, wish it's helpful.9315.zip (103.8 KB)
In this sample that you sent me, the vehicle (marker) disappears with mousedown and move. Is there a way not to disappear? Our application is about tracking vehicles, so the vehicles must not disappear from the map. I have tried to show vehicles as pointshapes with feature, but pointshapes does not support tooltip or context menu. Moreover when I rapidly zoom in and zoom out, the image of the marker does not load properly (for a brief moment) as you can see in the image. When the map has more layers and become slower the image will remain cropped for more time, and this must not happens.
Hi Mario,
The marker will disappear and appear again when pan, it's the same for SimpleMakerOverlay and InmemoryMarkerOverlay, so here I find a workaround for you.
Put the feature into InmemoryFeatureLayer, and write a custom tooltip for it.
9315(CustomToolTip).zip (103.4 KB)
You can optimize or enhancement the code to make it works better for your scenario.

Quotes for Topic: Teaching
The best teachers are those who simply can't wait to teach something they truly love.
Reference: The Conviction to Lead, Bethany House Publishers, 2012, p. 71, Used by Permission. Get this book!
Good teachers are approachable and easy to talk to; they are not irritable, defensive, or quick to argue with people who disagree… [They] must not lose their temper, scold their students, yell at them, or seek revenge because they offend… Angry…teachers generate fear and stifle the spirit of inquiry, especially in children and adolescents.
Reference: Leading With Love, Lewis and Roth, 2006, p.130-131, Used by Permission. Get this book!
No matter what good truths you have to teach, no one will thank you if you do not speak kindly.
The best learning I had came from teaching.
We [must] give the Spirit of God opportunity to work in their lives to enable them to digest biblical truth. "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still," but those members taught by the Spirit of God will indeed be changed.

A good teacher like John the Baptist, clears the way, declares the way, and then gets out of the way.

The mark of a good teacher is that what is difficult and complicated becomes simple to understand.

The cone of learning says that we remember 10 percent of what we read, 20 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, 50 percent of what we see and hear, 75 percent of what we see, hear and talk about, and 90 percent what we see, hear, talk about and do. The main message from these statistics is that the more a child can interact with all of his senses, the more apt he is to retain what he has been taught...(According to Deuteronomy 6:6-9) God warned the Israelites to internalize His teaching so He presented His word, stated His goal, and then provided for each learner's style. He used a variety of methods to motivate.
Reference: Becoming a Treasured Teacher, Victor, 1992, p. 22, 33.
If you don't spend time thinking about God, you won't have much to say about God.

Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.
Education in itself without moral correction does little except to produce clever sinners.
Reference: Wisdom to Live By, Christian Focus Publications, 1998, p. 103. Used by Permission.
The fact is, there is a "course" that addresses every issue we will ever face. The Teacher loves to meet one-on-one with His students, so that He can tailor the course to our needs. He is willing to hold class every day that we are willing to meet. We already have the Textbook, which was written by the Teacher Himself. Parts of it can be difficult to grasp. But the Teacher is always available – twenty-four hours a day – to help us understand.
Reference: A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 62.
Vision is our dominant sense. A report published by the Xerox Corporation years ago revealed that 83 percent of what we learn comes through our sight. Hearing provides for 11 percent of what we learn, compared with extremely small percentages from the other three senses: smell, 3.5 percent; touch, 1.5 percent; and taste, 1 percent. No wonder Jesus used visuals!…( Most importantly) Jesus very life was a visual, reinforcing what He taught.
Reference: Teaching as Jesus Taught, Baker, 1995, p. 178.
Read through the Gospels, and you quickly conclude that Jesus was a dynamic, remarkably effective teacher. Never boring, always stimulating. Never obtuse, always clear. Never pompous or distant, always personal and lovingly concerned.
Reference: Teaching as Jesus Taught, Baker, 1995, p. 10.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The greatest teacher inspires

Batshuayi's Chelsea career at risk after Conte snub
Michy Batshuayi didn't start any of Chelsea's three games in seven days this past week and he also wasn't called upon when Alvaro Morata went off in the 35th minute on Saturday.
Chelsea have shown their trust in Morata by paying £58 million plus add-ons to secure him from Real Madrid and his good form at the start of the season has seen him quickly become the undisputed main man.
3/1 for Chelsea and Roma to draw
Morata is not only an ice cold finisher but he is able to hold up the ball, play it short and he is also a lightening quick counter attacking player. He's great in the air and Batshuayi can only match him for his finishing ability, without being as effective at the rest of the jobs that are paramount for a modern striker.
Conte's past seven days have given us a huge insight into how much he trusts Morata compared to Batshuayi. Morata started all three games but he ultimately pulled his hamstring, perhaps due to being played too often.
Morata isn't used to playing week-in, week-out and playing three games in seven days could have affected him physically after bit part roles at both Juventus and Real Madrid. He was a fringe player at his two previous clubs but he has already become a talisman at Stamford Bridge despite being only 24-years-old.
Hazard joined Willian up front as Morata left the field against Manchester City. This replicated Conte's tactical plan of last season as when Diego Costa missed out he turned to Hazard as a false nine. After the game, Conte revealed why he made the decision to go for Willian and Hazard rather than using Batshuayi, who was subsequently only given 17 minutes at the end.
"It was a simple tactical decision," Conte said at Stamford Bridge. "This type of game I thought Willian with Hazard was a good decision, to try to exploit the space behind the defenders. It's a simple tactical decision."
Batshuayi wasn't used against Bournemouth or Leicester City when Costa wasn't available and the departing Blues striker was often preferred, even when he was in poor form.
Morata is Chelsea's first choice striker up front, Hazard is number two and Batshuayi is a flat track bully that they might use against lesser opposition. It is a worry when a manager doesn't take to a player after such a length of time and you have to question whether he is a Conte player.
Chelsea even tried to sign Fernando Llorente for £15 million in the summer before he chose to move to Tottenham Hotspur instead - which gives us further reason to be doubful about Batshuayi.
Even after a last minute winner against Atletico Madrid and a title winning goal against West Brom, Batshuayi still isn't trusted.
And it isn't all Batshuayi's fault as a striker needs a run of games to be at his best. His lack of chances during a congested fixture period is a hint at a future away from the club.
In the future, Chelsea might look to replace Batshuayi with Tammy Abraham, who Swansea City signed on loan from the Blues in the summer. This could lead to the Belgium international becoming just another name that the club discards for cash.
Batshuayi is determined to change opinions at Stamford Bridge but there has to be a point where he entertains an offer to move away.
Morata's hamstring injury shouldn't be as bad as the long-term one sustained by Manchester United's Paul Pogba. However, Chelsea will surely miss Morata more than City will Sergio Aguero and United will Pogba.
Conte simply doesn't trust Morata's alternatives and as a result Chelsea now find themselves six points off the Manchester clubs in a competitive title race. Morata's rapid return will be key to keeping the team's balance for a continued title challenge.

Thanks An-Lon! You're too kind :)
Hi An-Lon, thank you for your lovely message. One thing I learned since joining Minted in March is that you need to make contact with the design community. I only started doing this aggressively on the personal stationery challenge, I did it as a challenge to myself. It can be difficult give constructive and relevant feedback, I discovered not everyone will take your critical comments well. So I made a point to try not to just state "lovely, cute, nice", I like to let designers know why I like a design or where I think a design will benefit by refinements. I will be more than happy to give you feedback on the next challenge. Welcome to Minted and good luck on the stationery challenge. Cheers, Robin
Thank you for your kind words and likes! Wish you all the best :) Sara

I have friend who is died of cancer. He was 46 years old, married and the father of a teenage boy. A few years ago he was getting violently ill. His doctors told him the cancer had spread throughout his body, his stomach, his lungs, his throat. When I found out my friend was sick, a mutual friend of ours set up a time that the three of us could just hang out and chat. He told me the radiation therapy made him feel bad for days and then he would feel better for a few days. This triggered a memory in my mind of something I had read recently about the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. Apparently the radiation from the accident has spread from Japan to California and it is a deadly force that all life forms must reckon with. I wondered: "How could the same process that is extending, albeit briefly, my friends life also be a ghoulish unstoppable menace?"
Radiation: What It Is, What You Need to Know has, in very simple terms, helped me understand this conundrum. Turns out we are radioactive beings living on a radioactive planet in a radioactive galaxy. The authors clearly give you the facts and debunk myths about this often misunderstood energetic process. Radiation is in the most mundane of everyday encounters. Tanning salons produce an enormous amount of radiation, an amount that actually rivals the sun, which is essentially a giant ball of radiation. Dr. Gale's poetic metaphor for cigarette smoking is: "intentionally inhaling a small nuclear weapon into your lungs." Now that I know more about radiation and understand, in a small way, how it helped my friend, the arbitrary cruelty of fate seems somehow less so.

Filed under: Dublin
1. On Saturday we went to Phoenix Park – to see Áras an Uachtaráin (the President's house). Our plan was to leave early and get our tickets earlier – but no go. We didn't leave early and of course we didn't really know where to get the tickets once we got to Phoenix Park. We're not really as organized in real life as we may appear on the blog – but we got there early enough to get the ticket somehow.
The Phoenix Park is a huge park. We rarely go there because it's really the opposite side of Dublin – but I think it's the largest park in Europe – definitely the largest walled park. There's 6 miles of fencing surrounding the park. It was created as a hunting park in the 1600's (going off memory now, not Wikipedia so don't go making any bar bets on the following but…). So the British brought over a herd of deer – in fact you can still see the herd in the park. We only saw one, big deer, but we have seen the herd in the past.
1. We went past the Wellington Monument and the Cross, which was built when the Pope came to visit in 1979 (again making up that date). Patrick must have told us a million times that he was there for the Pope's visit. We walked past soccer fields, polo fields, cricket grounds, and the zoo. We went up to the Ashtown Castle. (That's where we were able to get the tickets for the tour of Áras an Uachtaráin.)
Ashtown Castle has a nice café and we were starving. We went into the interpretive area; they started the movie just for us. We walked through the walled garden, played in the playground and eventually got the bus to the President's house.
Sadly we couldn't take pictures in the house – but we did get a picture outside. The house is beautiful, but I have to say the view of the Dublin Mountains is amazing. The tour guide was great. She repeated some of the stories we heard last weekend in the government buildings – but her delivery was much better!
I remembered the story of the fireplaces (in the house and government building). They were designed by Pietro Bossi. He found a way to color marble. On his deathbed his eldest son hoped for the secret to dying the marble – and Bossi just said, "there's only one God and there's only one Bossi."
Also they had a bowl created from wood found at the Battle of the Boyne – at the time of the Battle. Apparently one bowl went to the President and one to Ian Paisley – in a peacemaking/peace-appreciating effort. I actually could rattle off a few more tidbits except that I suspect that without pictures the stories lose something.
One last tidbit Phoenix Park isn't named after the phoenix rising, it's actually an English corruption of the Irish Fhionn-Uisce, which means clear water. There's lots of clear water in the park.

Borce Ristevski To Stand Trial Over Wife's Murder
Borce Ristevski pleaded not guilty.
Borce Ristevski has been committed to stand trial over the murder of his wife in 2016.
The 54-year-old did not show any emotion on Thursday morning when magistrate Suzanne Cameron announced that, in her view, there is enough evidence to support a conviction of murder.
Ristevski quietly said "not guilty," when asked to enter a plea. He will now face a Supreme Court trial.
During the committal hearing, both sides of the bar table all but acknowledged a Supreme Court trial was inevitable. What was an issue was what charge he would be be tried on. Prosecutors said it has to be murder. The defence argued the evidence fell short, and it would only be reasonable for their client to be committed on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Either way Ristevski was always determined to fight the case against him. As his barrister David Hallowes put it, "in no way is that a concession from me or Mr Ristevski that he was in any way involved in the killing."
Karen's body was found "almost by chance" according to the prosecution, hidden between two fallen tree trunks at Mount Macedon, eight months after she went missing.
Part of the police case is that when a current affairs program called Ristevski to break the news an unidentified female body had been discovered there, the accused man's immediate reply was, "that's got nothing to do with me."
The court heard Ristevski is a law-abiding man. He has no prior convictions. He has always denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance, he told police he and his wife had a good relationship, and his lawyers made the point there were no intervention orders, and no life insurance policies.
A Victoria Police forensic accountant who went over the family finances gave evidence Karen's fashion boutique Bella Bleu was under significant financial strain. But the defence argues Karen was the driving force behind the business, and her husband had nothing to gain from her death. They said the case for murder simply didn't stack up, and that a reasonable jury properly instructed about the law would come to the same conclusion.
To prove murder, police must prove the accused had the intent to kill or cause serious injury when they caused a death. The defence argued that hurdle will not be passed in this case. They also said there was no motive.
It's what the accused man did after his wife disappeared that forms the bulk of the circumstantial crown case.
"The argument is the post offence conduct is so sustained, there is so much of it and it's so significant the only conclusion available is that the accused man had murderous intent," said prosecutor Matthew Fisher.
The prosecution allege Ristevski changed his story. Initially he told police on the last day he saw Karen alive, June 29 2016, he was at home doing book-work for the business, and had a shower between 11:30am and midday.
Days later he said he drove his wife's car on the day she went missing. He was at a police station on July 2, for an appointment to make a statement. The admission prompted a missing persons squad detective to ask "Boris is there something you want to tell me? Even good people make mistakes. Has something happened?"
"What do you want me to say? Nothing happened," Ristevski replied.
The Crown case is that Ristevski killed or seriously injured his wife inside their home, placed her in the boot of her car in the garage, then disposed of the body. Police claim he turned his mobile phone off to avoid detection, and only turned it back on that afternoon when he was close to home.
A listening device planted by police recorded the Ristevski's daughter, Sarah, asking her father about his movements that day.
"Nothing makes sense because they're making it up as they go along," he replied.
The magistrate was told one part of the investigation remains ongoing. Police said there is photograph of a black Mercedes in the Mount Macedon area taken on a mobile phone, provided by a witness. They are attempting to retrieve the data from the photograph, as it's not known what date or time it was taken. The data might never be recovered. It's one of the questions in this case that may never be answered.
It will ultimately be up a jury to decide the facts. Borce Ristevski was remanded in custody to face a Supreme Court directions hearing on August 6.
