Imagine visiting a museum. What comes to mind? Is it looking at priceless artefacts behind glass or other barriers? That is what many people think of when they think of museums, after all museums are the keepers of collections – collections of rare and irreplaceable representations of both societies and the natural world.
So it was perhaps no surprise that during one of our mineral handling sessions here at the museum, the class was astonished that they were being invited to touch the specimens. One of the boys asked enthusiastically "Can we really touch them?" to which Mike (one of our senior interpreters) energetically replied "Yeah". The boy responded, "Really? Cuz this is a museum and usually at museums, you aren't allowed to touch stuff." Of course, if we were the Britannia Mine Earth Sciences Centre, no one would question the freedom to touch the specimens, which brings me to the point of this blog post - breaking the barriers.
There is a reason people expect to not be allowed to touch objects in a museum – that is the expectation museums have created. As we strive to protect the objects we are entrusted with, we separate the object from the visitor. When it comes to school programming, we create educational collections intended to be handled, but by their nature, these collections consist of the more replicable objects. We do not open up the cases of the irreplaceable for examination (and for good reason).
But what about if we can in some instances do just that? What if we can open up our collections to handling? What if we can remove the barrier between object and student? What if we can invite the student to explore our objects with the same freedom as our educators and curators?
This has been our goal with our mineral handling programming. When it began, it involved handling the easily replaceable specimens. It now includes handling more unique samples of the same quality that are found behind glass in our mineral displays.
But what if students break them? This is perhaps the first question people ask. For the rarer specimens in the handling collection, we exercise more supervision than with the more common ones. For those more common ones, our response is "What does the break tell us about the specimen? What does it tell us about how we should handle the specimens?". Our Interpreters are trained to make learning opportunities out of all experiences. The result is an environment where learning is shaped by both the facilitator and the student.
What happens when students participate in shaping their learning? Diane, our Curator, provided me with her own example of the power of object driven inquiry-based learning.
"When I was doing a mineral & fossil handling session in a classroom in Scotland, I was pre-warned by the teacher about the problem kid. He turned out to be enthralled and later told his teacher he was going fossil hunting."
For the Education Department of the Museum, it is these stories of unique transformative learning experiences that are our 'Magic Moments'.

As busy as my life occasionally gets (this includes socialising with friends and family) I somehow always think I have time for yet another adventure or project and after finishing my EQ course "Catch the Waves", I've enrolled for another course starting 21 August with daily lessons and homework for 6 weeks, I received my Westalee ruler quilting starter pack and would love to try it out and I've started THIS new quilt!
A while ago I asked our local Pfaff dealer to order me 7 repeats of this panel fabric and she always goes the extra mile when I need something.
I kept one panel intact, layered the other six, cut these stacked panels into strips and the strips into 60º triangles.
Then the fun of sewing the half hexagons started, trying to find the "nicest" combination from the 3 options I have. Once done I sorted according to most obvious colour just to make the arrangement on the design wall easier.
Deciding on the layout was the hardest part for me. The packing, stepping back to stare, changing and repeating the process several times almost got to me. Then the disappointment when I started sewing the strips together to see how much the total top actually shrunk after stitching. It meant I would have to cut away from my centre panel way more than I wanted to.
Well at least I am trying things on my own, struggling more than I would have liked to but I had no manual, guide or rule book to go by and I think with all the little mishaps, I am doing good.

United States District Court, D. New Mexico
October 20, 2017
JOHN T. HARTIGAN, Plaintiff,v.COUNTY OF GUADALUPE, and GUADALUPE COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT, and SHERIFF MICHAEL LUCERO, in his individual and representative capacities, Defendants.
matter is before the Court on Defendants' Motion to
Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, filed on May 17, 2017.
(Doc. 5.) Jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1331.
Having considered the submissions of counsel and relevant
law, the Court will grant in part the Motion as outlined
below and order the parties to show cause why Plaintiff's
remaining claims should not be remanded to state court.
Factual and Procedural Background
case arises from Defendant Sheriff Michael Lucero's
alleged discrimination and retaliation against Plaintiff John
Hartigan, a former employee of the Guadalupe County
Sheriff's Department.
began working at the Guadalupe County Sheriff's
Department in June 2014. (Doc. 1-2 (Compl.) ¶ 6.) He
received a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant in 2015, but
he never received the pay raise he was promised when he was
promoted. (Id. ¶¶ 7-9.)
November 4, 2015, Plaintiff's coworker, Deputy Campos,
"was involved in a motor vehicle accident which totaled
his police issued Tahoe." (Id. ¶ 10.) The
County later sold the Tahoe as salvage. (Id.) Later
that month, "Sheriff Lucero was involved in a motor
vehicle accident wherein his police issued Tahoe was
damaged." (Id. ¶ 11.)
December 2015, Sheriff Lucero told Plaintiff that Officer
Wheeler with the New Mexico State Police was investigating
Sheriff Lucero's accident. (Id. ¶ 12.)
"Sheriff Lucero instructed [Plaintiff] to contact
Officer Wheeler and inform him that Deputy Diaz [with the
Sheriff's Department] was" also conducting an
internal investigation of the accident. (Id. ¶
13.) Plaintiff contacted Officer Wheeler as requested.
(Id.) In early April 2016, Plaintiff discovered that
Deputy Diaz never completed the investigation. (Id.
¶ 14.) He contacted Deputy Diaz about the incomplete
paperwork, and Deputy Diaz told Plaintiff "that Sheriff
Lucero had ordered Deputy Diaz to stop the investigation and
not to prepare a report." (Id. ¶ 15.)
Plaintiff informed Officer Wheeler of this development.
(Id. ¶ 16.)
an April 16, 2016 all-staff meeting, Sheriff Lucero
"became angry and accused [Plaintiff] and Deputy Campos
of being disloyal and" causing a "concerned
citizen" to ask whether Sheriff Lucero was intoxicated
at the time of his accident. (Id. ¶ 17.)
Sheriff Lucero threatened to take away Plaintiff's and
Deputy Campos's law enforcement certification.
(Id. ¶ 19.) On April 21, 2016, Sheriff Lucero
told Plaintiff he could not attend a training as previously
scheduled, because the Sheriff "could no longer invest
resources into [Plaintiff] because of his age."
(Id. ¶ 20.) "Sheriff Lucero had done this
in the past but had allowed [Plaintiff] to attend the
training if [he] paid for his own attendance despite the fact
that younger officers . . . were paid for by the
Sheriff[']s Department." (Id. ¶ 21.)
"On May 9, 2016, Sheriff Lucero served [Plaintiff] with
a letter which abolished [Plaintiff's] Lieutenant
position . . . and demoted him to Deputy."
(Id. ¶ 22.)
At some
point, Plaintiff also discovered that after Deputy
Campos's damaged Tahoe was sold, "Sheriff Lucero
had the damaged parts of his police issued Tahoe switched out
with non-damaged parts from Deputy Campos'[s] Tahoe,
before it was delivered to the new owner."
(Id. ¶ 13.)
On May
17, 2016, Plaintiff sent a confidential complaint to George
Dodge, the Guadalupe County Manager. (See Id. ¶
23; Doc. 6-3.) He stated that he was "the victim of
retaliatory action . . . for reporting what [he] believed . .
. was an unlawful or improper act, to the New Mexico State
Police . . . . Specifically, Sheriff Lucero failed to report
a crash of his county vehicle in November 2015 and ordered
specific actions to continue to conceal the crash."
(Doc. 6-3 at 1.) Plaintiff described the incidents alleged in
his Complaint and asserted his belief that by reporting to
Mr. Dodge, he would "be subject to immediate
retaliatory action by Sheriff Lucero." (Id. at
he sent this letter to Mr. Dodge, Sheriff Lucero continued to
harass and retaliate against Plaintiff. (Compl. ¶ 24.)
Plaintiff filed a Charge of Discrimination form with the EEOC
(and cross-filed it with the New Mexico Department of
Workforce Solutions, Human Rights Bureau) on June 9, 2016.
(Id. ¶ 25.) On June 20, 2016, Sheriff Lucero
sent a memorandum to Plaintiff and cc'd George Dodge
regarding "excess electronics/electrical
equipment" in Plaintiff's department-issued vehicle
and instructed Plaintiff to remove the items. (Id.
¶ 26.) Plaintiff asserts that while other deputies had
similar equipment in their vehicles, no other deputy received
this memo. (Id. ¶ 27.) On June 27, 2016,
Plaintiff "realized that Sheriff Lucero had been
improperly reporting [Plaintiff's] work hours for the
previous three . . . pay periods . . . ." (Id.
¶ 28.) Plaintiff had "to use annual leave to
compensate for the lost time." (Id.) Plaintiff
eventually resigned his position because of the harassment
and retaliation. (Id. ¶ 29.)
filed a complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court,
County of Guadalupe, on April 4, 2017, alleging the following
counts: (1) violation of New Mexico's Whistleblower
Protection Act (NMWPA), N.M. Stat. Ann. § 10-16C-1
through -6 (1978)[1]; (2) discrimination on the basis of
in violation of the New Mexico Human Rights Act (NMHRA), N.M.
Stat. Ann. § 28-1-7; (3) constructive discharge; (4)
infliction of emotional distress, pursuant to the New Mexico
Tort Claims Act (NMTCA), N.M. Stat. Ann. § 41-4-12
(1978); and (5) negligent hiring, training, and supervision,
pursuant to § 41-4-12. (See Compl. ¶¶
30-55.) Defendants removed the case to this Court on May 10,
2017. (Doc. 1.)
Motion to Dismiss Standard
reviewing a motion to dismiss under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6),
the Court "must accept all the well-pleaded allegations
of the complaint as true and must construe them in the light
most favorable to the plaintiff." In re Gold Res.
Corp. Sec. Litig., 776 F.3d 1103, 1108 (10th Cir. 2015)
(citation omitted). "To survive a motion to dismiss,
" the complaint does not need to contain
"detailed factual allegations, " but it
"must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as
true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on
its face.'" Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S.
662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly,
550 U.S. 544, 555, 570 (2007)). "A claim has facial
plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that
allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the
defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged."
Id. (citing Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556).
Plausibility does not equate to probability, but there must
be "more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has
acted unlawfully." Id. (citing
Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556.)
allege that Plaintiff's Complaint is subject to dismissal
on the following bases: (1) Plaintiff's age
discrimination claim is time-barred; (2) Plaintiff's WPA
claim is barred by New Mexico common law; (3) Plaintiff may
not state a claim against the sheriff; (4) Plaintiff fails to
state a claim for constructive discharge; (5) Plaintiff fails
to state a claim for either infliction of emotional distress
or negligent hiring, training and supervision; and (6) the
Sheriff's Department is not a viable defendant for any
claim. (See Doc. 5.)
Plaintiff's age discrimination claim is
alleges that Plaintiff's age discrimination claim (Count
2) is time-barred. (Doc. 5 at 1.) Plaintiff filed a Charge of
Discrimination form with the EEOC on June 9, 2016, alleging
that he was "discriminated and retaliated against
because of [his] age (56) in violation of the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended."
(Doc. 5-1.) Plaintiff listed his address on the form as P.O.
Box 64, Newkirk, New Mexico 88431. (Id.) The EEOC
issued its Dismissal and Notice of Rights on October 13, 2016
and sent it to the same address in Newkirk, New Mexico. (Doc.
5-2 at 1.) At some point between June 9, 2016, and April 4,
2017, the date on which Plaintiff filed his lawsuit,
Plaintiff changed his mailing address to P.O. Box 291, Fort
Sumner, New Mexico 88119. (See Docs. 6 at 1; 6-1 at
3; 6-2 at 3.) Plaintiff received his EEOC Notice on January
10, 2017. (See Docs. 6 at 1; 6-1 at 3; 6-2 at 3.)
a Title VII or ADEA plaintiff files suit within ninety days
of receiving a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC, [he] is
foreclosed from bringing suit on the allegations made in
[his] EEOC claim." Guevara v. Best W. Stevens Inn,
Inc., 78 F. App'x 703, 704 (10th Cir. 2003) (citing
42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); 29 U.S.C. § 626(e)). The
same is true for age discrimination claims filed pursuant to
the NMHRA. See Herrera v. Las Cruces Pub. Sch., 695
F. App'x 361 (10th Cir. 2017) (construing the "date
of service" language in N.M. Stat. Ann. §
28-1-13(A) to mean the "date of mailing");
see also N.M. Stat. Ann. § 28-1-13(A) ("A
person aggrieved by an order of the commission may obtain a
trial de novo by filing a notice of appeal . . . within
ninety days from the date of service of the commission's
Plaintiff filed his lawsuit 173 days after the EEOC issued
the Dismissal and Notice of Rights. Plaintiff argues that
because he did not receive the EEOC's Notice by mail
until January 10, 2017, he had ninety days from that date to
file his lawsuit, and the April 4, 2017 filing was timely.

is essentially asking the Court to equitably toll the
requisite 90-day period. "Equitable tolling is a
nonstatutory tolling theory which suspends a limitations
period." Ocana v. Am. Furniture Co., 91 P.3d
58, 66, as corrected (N.M. June 9, 2004) (citation
omitted). "Equitable tolling typically applies in cases
where a litigant was prevented from filing suit because of an
extraordinary event beyond his or her control."
Id. (citing Martinez v. Orr, 738 F.2d 1107,
1110 (10th Cir. 1984)). "However, where a plaintiff
fails to receive notice of the right to sue through his or
her own fault, equitable tolling does not apply."
Id. (citing Baldwin Cty. Welcome Ctr. v.
Brown, 466 U.S. 147, 151 (1984) ("One who fails to
act diligently cannot invoke equitable principles to excuse
that lack of diligence.")). "In Hunter v.
Stephenson Roofing Inc., 790 F.2d 472, 475 (6th Cir.
1986), the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held that equitable
tolling is not available to a Title VII plaintiff who fails
to notify the EEOC of a change in address, and does not
receive notice of the right to sue as a result."
Id. "Relying on precedent and federal law, the
court said that a plaintiff's burden of notifying the
EEOC of a change in address is both minimal and
reasonable." Id. (citing Hunter, 790
F.2d at 475).
makes no argument that would excuse him from his
responsibility to notify the EEOC of his change of address.
The doctrine of equitable tolling does not apply to
Plaintiff's age discrimination claim in Count 2, and the
Court will grant Defendants' Motion on this issue.
Plaintiff's claim under the NMWPA survives.

establish "three elements: (i) the employee engaged in

some unions are doing about out-of-control health care costs
NW Labor Press, Sept. 2012
By Don Mcintosh, Associate Editor
After decades of rising health costs, American workers are used to rising health insurance premiums and worsening coverage, and watching as raises are gobbled up by health care cost increases. And the question of who will pay for the increases — workers or employers — is the number one source of conflict in union contract bargaining.
At Boeing, it was a factor in the last two strikes. At TriMet, new hires will have 401(k)s instead of a traditional pension because of rising health costs: In July, an arbitrator said he imposed the employer's contract proposal (which included the pension change) because the union's contract proposal would have continued the same health benefits and thus would have been too costly.

Organized by the Ankara Cinema Association with the support of the Turkish Ministry of Culture & Tourism, the Festival on Wheels completed its tour with a showcase of cinema for the 23rd year from 1-14 December 2017. This year's Festival itinerary took in the cities of Ankara, Sinop and Kastamonu.

Ercan Kesal's Pick: Justice and Conscience
As part of its programme every year, the Festival on Wheels invited a figure from the Turkish of cinema to choose a handful films based around a specific theme. This year's guest was the Turkish actor-writer, Ercan Kesal, who had singled out three titles for festivalgoers. Each of the films offered a different treatment of the theme of justice and conscience, which Kesal regards as "the fundamental problematic of our existence". His selections were: Asghar Farhadi's The Salesman (2016), Krzysztof Kieslowski's A Short Film About Killing (1988) and 12 Angry Men, the 1957 production directed by Sydney Lumet. Each film was presented by Ercan Kesal.

ForexMinute.com — In the wake of one Bitcoin investment group duping investors of $USD387, Hong Kong Lawmakers recently urged local finance authorities to ban the cryptocurrency.
The strict reaction came after the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) lenient press statement yesterday, in which the organization simply asked people to be cautious while investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
"Such investments may involve fraud or pyramid schemes," HKMA had stated on Tuesday. "Given the highly speculative nature of Bitcoin, we have all along urged the public to exercise extra caution when considering making transactions or investments with Bitcoin."
Lawmaker Leung Yiu-chung, who was the first one to help the victims on the issue, asked the government to do something with Bitcoin. "It's simply not enough to just ask people to exercise caution when investing," he said. "It has to ban the circulation of such virtual currency in the market."
We tried contacting the alleged fraudulent company MyCoin through mail and phone, but received no response. The company reportedly promised its investors attractive returns if they agree to pay an average sum of $400,000 as investments. However, it later disappeared along with investors' money.
Police officials are yet to release a statement regarding the MyCoin scam.

We specialise in graphic design, magazine design, internet design, mobile app design, iPad magazine apps, packaging design, company design and print management. This journal format is simple to customize, and it suited to any kind of magazine (e.g movies, music, sport, style, travel, design and so on.). Any page are great for any kind of article (e. g opinions, interviews, biography, and so forth.). Sometimes completely different designers work on the person interface design (UI), which largely refers back to the particular person layouts of pages, and the consumer expertise design (UX), or the entire experience of the consumer as they move through a website or app.
In books, the content usually comes before the design, whereas in magazines, the design is a structure that anticipates written and visual content that hasn't yet been created. Hopefully each student or design professional will find the correct magazine to help maintain his or her personal curiosity in the world of graphic design. This graphic design magazine permits graphic designers to seek out details about graphic design know-how, freelancing as a graphic designer, and graphic design career opportunities. The net mannequin of Print Journal gives graphic design boards, a free graphic design publication, and completely different free graphic design stuff.
If you need to find more graphic design magazines and property, do an web seek for graphic design magazine and be amazed on the wealth of graphic design data obtainable to you in the sort of graphic design discussion board. Web Designer is a web-based magazine for the promoting material supposed for creative business professionals.
I'm a global designer and because all the print-on-demand web sites are based mostly either within the USA or Australia: Zazzle – in California – Society6 in Los Angeles and Redbubble is in Australia to name the three fundamental web sites I seem to design for, I needed to give you my own native impressions. Rick Poynor just isn't a Graphic Designer himself however he's extra of a glue and initiator of every thing that goes round this topic. Not only does this on-line graphic design journal provide enterprise info, graphic design expertise information, and totally different graphic design options, however it additionally presents critiques of graphic design software, graphic design books, and totally different graphic design assets. DT&G, (Design, Kind, and Graphics) Journal is an online based mostly only publication for graphic designers.
This design first appeared on the '70s era during which at that time individuals started to dare to abandon the outdated mannequin of the design, akin to a single column. This graphic design journal has know-how data for important graphic designers to keep up up with industry information. Communication Arts does have lots of text and the articles can get pretty involved however in case you are into design it is going to be an interesting learn. The web version of Graphic Design USA magazine additionally has options at no cost graphic design stuff, and a graphic design on-line e-publication that may be emailed to your inbox weekly. Something graphic design associated, big or small, could also be included in this online graphic design magazine. What has actually been a deal with was the arrival of my own backyard design on a pillow taken from a photo I shot in September. Before I took a graphics design class for magazine pages, I didn't know both.

About the course and its strategy towards teaching and learning and towards blended learning/e-learning
BA (Hons) Publishing introduces a new title in an area of strategic growth for the Faculty. Drawn from the established publishing-related practice (within studios 15/16 and 16/17, BA Graphic Design, BA Illustration and the Hothouse project within the cluster), this portfolio expansion exploits new specialist appointments made within Visual Communication in 2015. This award will support practice within publishing across print and digital platforms with an emphasis on future digital publishing practice.
The course partners with real publishers in the field of design offering students the opportunity to research, curate, write, design and deliver content in print, on websites and social media platforms. Students will receive preparation to enter the world of professional design, to thoroughly research and clearly articulate ideas, communicate effectively with clients and understand the importance of identifying and communicating with particular audiences. This course will focus on providing our students with these attributes and ensuring that they have the confidence to succeed.
As well as traditional media such as books and magazines BA Publishing is concerned with investigating the act of publishing itself, and how it is relevant to practice as a visual communicator across traditional and non-traditional formats. As well as instilling the skills to design and produce published projects on various media platforms, students will investigate the practice of publishing as a creative act.
Students (with staff) will be working on projects that are about discovering designers 'individual voices, exploring the dynamic relationship between word and image and gaining expertise and inspiration from people working on the most innovative and mould-breaking publishing projects.
Projects undertaken on BA Publishing will enable engagement with a complete design process — from developing ideas and concepts, creating written and visual content and executing in designs and layouts; to the technical practicalities of making and delivering printed and digital publishing platforms, to reaching – and even making – audiences. Identifying audiences and learning how engage and speak to them is an important part of the course. It is a skill that applies to many areas of visual communication, whether it is for self-initiated projects and promoting one's own work, or being able to offer commercial clients the ability to galvanise and connect with a market.
Communication is at the heart of great design. As well as visual creativity, this course emphasises the concomitant skills of verbal design thinking. The course guides students towards honing personal voices and vision as a designers. Students will form publishing teams and take on all the roles and jobs that would be involved in publishing projects in the professional working world, generating real outputs, with real audiences, which means designing for a live outcome, and also fostering an instinctive awareness of designing for a public or an audience. This will be useful and attractive to a wide demographic.
Provision within this field builds upon an established Faculty academic, staff research, practice and professional reputation. The profile of staff and alumni within the disciplines proposed, is strong with established routes into industry and/or professional partners/ projects. Creative practice is situated at the heart of Cass Visual Communication, building a thriving, dynamic, entrepreneurial and innovative learning environment. Courses will optimise existing Faculty facilities and expertise, as appropriate, and collaboration across the Faculty and wider University and with industry partners will be a key part of this course delivery.
The course seeks to specifically foster and provide:
- Experimentation and learning, through direct experience of practice in multi-disciplinary studio-based working.
- A culture of independent thought and directional ideas, encouraging individual choice and the production of critically informed contemporary publishing practice.
- Projects that make use of London as a diverse site for cultural exchange and exploration.
- Live projects with briefings and critiques that create a professionally realistic environment for students; opening up opportunities to further engage with and understand the industry, potentially leading to placements and employment.
- Disciplinary engagement across the Faculty, providing opportunities for collaborative project work during study.
The course philosophy embraces experiential learning and a self-reflective practice that will lead each student to an individual design approach and method. Through immersion in studio practice, students are encouraged and enabled to develop a practiced understanding of their discipline, evolving approaches to working in collaboration with peers and through self-critique. Typically, students will devise and develop practical projects under staff guidance, gradually building up a reserve of sector-specific skills, testing and realising these skills against new ideas and their design potential. This approach ensures that the student is guided through their acquisition of technical competence, knowledge of critical practice and understanding of theory, and understands how to apply this, as the course progresses.
Teaching methods include: lectures, seminars, tutorials, external visits, live briefings, group formal critiques, workshops and studio practice. Every effort is made to make teaching as varied and student-centered as possible. The course is taught within the creative hub of London, and benefits from links with local design practitioners, publishers, companies, galleries and specialist shops. Each year of study comprises of four year-long (30 weeks, 30 credit) modules in the areas of concept and realisation, subject-specific industry practice and cultural and contextual studies (including professional practice).
Lectures seek to provide a critically informed overview of a topic, to conceptualize and contextualize the subject and illustrate applied approaches. Lecture series will be from industry experts and based upon contemporary industry subject matter.
Workshops and practical teaching takes a variety of forms. The objective is to apply knowledge and/or acquire technical competence, to think critically and creatively, to master technique and to develop the capacity to work independently and in teams. Workshop and practical teaching will focus upon related skills such as, for example:
Design – Adobe Creative Suite / Typography / Layout / Art Direction / Photography
Editorial – Writing / editing / commissioning / curation
Publishing – publishing models / platforms / distribution / audience / funding
Production – paper & print / digital platforms / pagination / formats / book binding
Research / Culture – research methods / criticism / reflecting on contemporary practice / social and aesthetic context
Presenting – editorial / portfolio / promotion
Opportunities will be available to students to develop skills specifically relevant to their project work, a specific brief, or a discipline collaborative project.
Studio practice enhances lectures, seminars, study visits, critiques, workshop activities, group and individual tutorials. Both projects and theoretical work offer opportunities for developing professional competency in presentation (including visual, spoken and text-based modes), using digital technologies, blogs, videos, photography and websites. Through a rich mix of teaching styles and learning contexts, the course seeks to foster in its students confidence as autonomous learners, promoting imagination and effectiveness of design practitioners in the making.
Project briefs develop from year to year in accordance with contemporary practice, furthering research interests and project opportunities in context of the School and Faculty ethos. Disciplinary skills are embedded at the beginning of the course, and are built upon each academic year. The body of work accumulated at Level 6 is significant, making up an academic portfolio that demonstrates the full range of attributes that are required for career development in creative practice and/ or for entry to MA level Course. Shared projects across courses &/or years enables opportunities for peer-to-peer learning to be maximised.
Critical and Contextual Studies run in parallel to the design and subject-specific industry practice modules. These modules focus upon transferable graduate skills in the field of academic scholarship and writing as well as aspects of professional practice. As part of their professional profile, students need to be able to retrieve, analyse, interpret, articulate and structure information and knowledge for different purposes and audiences. These modules frame key skills of research within the specific context of design history and theory, taking into account the practice requirements of the industry, its professional, legal, ethical and institutional contexts. Intensive blocks of learning in seminar and lecture presentations, alongside site visits, image analysis, case studies, and workshops, aid acquisition of skills in presentation, visual and textual analysis and representation.

AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) - Dieticians at Doctor's Hospital are warning of calories in Superbowl foods.
Experts said you can consume an entire day's worth of calories during the game by snacking on things like fried chicken wings. Numbers show there can be 50 to 100 in a single one.
They also warn of fatty cheese dips and ranch dipping sauces, which can be high in calories.
Doctors Hospital Registered Dietician Jessica Holland said, "Eat slower. Try to drink water. Try to replace some of your higher calorie dips with lower calorie options, such as yogurt based dips, humus or salsa."

I lost my job on July 31, 2009. I had plenty of time to prepare for this and my husband and I decided that I would stay home and not look for another job. I am tired. I had worked for 16 years as a legal assistant and the stress at times was great. Now I have traded in the work stress for the challenge of learning to live on one income.
I am not too computer savvy but I wanted to start this blog so that I could enter my day to day challenges of re-training myself to not spend money unless it was necessary and to find ways to save money. Soo - this blog set up may not be perfect but I will learn as I go.

This series written by Bess Wohl whose pilot is shot right now, follows the first four women to graduate from Boston's Police Academy in 1978 with Joanne, lesbian, which will be played by the actress of «True Blood» Rutina Wesley.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, guarded, professional and private about her personal life (largely because she's gay), the character has high standards — mostly because she feels that it's necessary. As a black woman, she knows she has to work harder and be better than everyone in the department. Raised in a tough Boston neighborhood, she's seen her share of violence. But she's worked hard to get where she is, going after her convictions, her strength challenged by the realities of the political landscape.
Actresses Lauren Ambrose and Cody Horn are also part of the cast that may be developed in a full series soon.

"Would to heaven," said Eugenie de Menancourt, "that I could have such a happy and saving influence on your fate, Beatrice, as you have had on mine! But I am destined only to be a burden to you, and to rely on you for everything, without knowing or comprehending the past or the present as far as it regards to you – without understanding your means, your wishes, or your purposes."
— One in a Thousand; or, The Days of Henry Quatre, Volume 20 By George Payne Rainsford James, Laurie Magnus
Whether it is recognized or not, everyone has a hero. Hero is rarely the first word you might choose to describe that person who holds a redemptive quality for you – one who saves you from yourself and provides a sense of hope or inspiration. Since music has always played a huge role in my life, I always thought my hero was a musician. It wasn't up until recently that I realized who my hero really was, and always was. The heroine of my life is my mother.
My mother's story is one of hope, the struggles of losing and the triumphs of redeeming. My mother is a source of strength for all those who know her character and the story behind it.
When I was young, my mother was a symbol of quiet, inner strength for me. It's not that she never cried, but she never wanted me to see it and in even her most broken of states, her sadness hardly even hindered her in all that she had to get done. She was a martyr for the family she so dearly loved; a family that often failed to express the appropriate gratitude. I'll never be able to pay back my debts to her.
I was eight years old when my mother had a miscarriage. They had only just told me weeks before that I would be having a brother or sister. I remember my father, trying to make it a light-hearted thing. In hindsight, I can tell they had planned for that moment to tell me. My father said, "OK, family meeting. In the bathroom. Come on. Huddle in." With mom and I giggling, we huddled in the small space of my bathroom that extended off of my room. I don't remember what he said or how he explained it. I just remember that mom sat on the toilet while dad talked. When he was finished, she was crying. She left the bathroom. I stared vacantly at the floor, knowing I should have a stronger reaction based on hers, but I didn't really understand what was going on. It was a little like being at Grandma Vaeth's funeral, except I understood, even at six, that I would never see her again. I remember trying to cry about it, but "the rest of my life" seemed like an unfathomable concept to me. I figured they just didn't understand that she was still there in a way, and if they could all just accept that, everyone would stop crying.
But the understanding I had at that funeral isn't something I was given in that bathroom. I don't remember what I asked my father, but I know I brought up God. I have a feeling I was questioning His existence. My father told me God was everywhere. I said, pointing into the shower, "Even in that bar of soap?" making a mockery of such an idea. "Yes, Nicole. Everywhere. He's watching you all the time."
My mother's miscarriage was due to an eptopic pregnancy. We almost lost her that year. The thought that I could've lost my mom before I even knew her terrifies me.
When I was in eighth grade, I came home from school one day. Dad wasn't there, but it wasn't unusual. Sometimes he didn't get home for an hour after I did. The telephone rang in the kitchen. I think I was on the computer at the time, even though I wasn't supposed to be when no one was home. It was my dad. I don't remember how tactfully he told me, but he informed me that my mother had a stroke and that they were at the hospital. He told me to walk the dog and then to go to Joanne's, that either she would bring to the hospital or he would come get me.
I collapsed on the kitchen floor, sobbing so violently, it could've shook the earth to the core. The pain and the confusion, not fully understanding what exactly a stroke meant, if my mother would die or live plagued me. I called my boyfriend at the time and talked to him as I walked the dog. He didn't know what to say to me. He was incapable of comforting me, but his pseudo presence at least stopped the sobbing.
I remember standing next to the hospital bed in the ER, for they hadn't gotten her a room yet. I held my unconscious mother's hand and couldn't keep it together as she looked more fragile than I've ever seen her. I specifically remember the machine. If I talked to her, I can't remember what I said. I just sat staring blankly at the machine, letting its noises wash over me with the assurance of her vitality for minutes, maybe hours.
Through my teenage years, my mother was a strong wall. She knew when to fight, when to pull back and when to draw near. I was a wretch 24/7. It wasn't until I found God that I fully understood the value of my mother and all she'd done for me. It wasn't until I started to love myself that I began to really appreciate the person my mother is. I've never known a single person who didn't fall in love my mom almost immediately upon meeting her. She has the kindest heart, the warmest laugh and the most welcoming arms to cry into.
My fondest memories of my mother are on the worst days we ever had. Whether it was her bad day or mine, whenever things got hard and unmanageable, she'd curl up next to me in bed, hold me and rub my back or play with my hair as she sang these lyrics:
"Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
Crying's not for me,
'Cause I'm never going to stop the rain by complaining.
Because I'm free, nothing's worrying me."
I think this photo says more about my mom than anything I could, but I tried.

Abbott Laboratories (U.S), Bayer AG (Germany), Eli Lily & Company (U.S), Medtronic (U.S), AstraZeneca Plc. (U.K), Lifescan (U.S), Terumo Medical Corporation (Japan) and Roche Holding AG (Switzerland) and others are some of the prominent players at the forefront of competition in the BRIC Diabetes Treatment & Prevention Market and are profiled in MRFR Analysis.
BRIC Diabetes Treatment & Prevention Market – Overview
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose which leads to serious damage to the heart, eyes, kidneys, blood vessels and nerves. The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't make enough insulin. In the past three decades the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has risen dramatically in countries of all income levels.
Get a Sample Report @ https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/sample_request/1323 .
Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin by itself. The BRIC nations are usually considered by low diagnosis and awareness rates for diabetes. For instance, in Russia, Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is unassertive, but due to the lack of epidemiological and health outcome data on the prevalence of the patient pool who are suffering from diabetes indicates a large undiagnosed population. Burden of diabetes in Russia concluded that the non-T2D population presented a significant enough number of risk factors to suggest that T2D prevalence could be much higher.
The BRIC diabetes treatment & prevention market is growing with the rapid pace. The BRICS market of diabetes treatment and prevention is USD 3.53 billion in 2016 with a CAGR of approximately 11.52% during the forecast period 2017-2023. According to a recent study report published by the Market Research Future, The BRIC diabetes treatment & prevention market is booming and expected to gain prominence over the forecast period growing rapidly. The market is forecasted to demonstrate a spectacular growth by 2023, surpassing its previous growth records in terms of value with a striking CAGR during the anticipated period (2017 – 2023).
The market is expected grow with the same trends during the forecast period. The major drivers will be new product launches, the ability of patients to pay for advanced medical products and devices and growing awareness about diabetes drive this market. Moreover, high prevalence of diabetes in region like India and China has also supported the growth of the market. According to WHO (2016), In China 10% of adults have been diagnosed with diabetes, in which type 2 diabetes is found to be the most prevalent type. This is due to unhealthy lifestyle of people and lack of physical activity.

Warner Bros. Won't Let Zack Snyder Direct Anymore DCEU Films
- by Winston Welch
- in Culture&Arts
- — Dec 8, 2017
This has prompted the studio to rethink the DC Extended Universe and their first course of action is replacing Jon Berg.
Berg is said to be segueing into a role as producer for Warner Bros., working alongside The Lego Movie and It producer Roy Lee. Berg essentially decamped for the film's London set, and both men have full producer credits on the picture, which would likely not be the case on future movies.
Jon Berg will be leaving his current job running the comic book's film production division, according to several sources with knowledge of the studio's plans.
"This is something that Jon approached me about six months ago, and he expressed his goal was to ultimately be a producer at the studio", said Emmerich in a statement. Going forward, his contributions to the films may evolve, and could be more advisory in nature.
Emmerich is said to be considering folding the DC Films venture back into the main Warner Bros. film wing, and not with its own division.
Aside from the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman and the recent success of Fox's Deadpool and Logan, R-rated superhero films are extremely hard to come by, because studios want to ensure the biggest box office gross from the broadest audience possible. Up to this point, DC Films has mostly worked autonomously from the larger WB umbrella - not unlike how Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm work at Disney - but that could change by January as well.
While "Justice League" is the lowest-grossing DCEU (DC Extended Universe) movie at the US box-office, the same thing can not be said about it in China as it is now officially the highest-grossing DC movie ever released in the said country. Justice League had a reported $300 million budget, including the reshoots that were helmed by Joss Whedon.
It's also said that Warner Bros.
Meant to be the DC's answer to The Avengers, Justice League pulled in just $572 million, a yield that has made it the lowest-earning DCEU movie by almost $100 million. A solo "Aquaman" is due out in 2018 and Warners is still developing a standalone Flash adventure.
