MeraNews Network, Gandhinagar: The Budget Session of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly will meet in February for just a week. Due to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, a Vote on Account will be presented instead of a complete annual financial budget. Six other bills will also be presented in the assembly during the session and all eyes will be on the Savarna-Patidar reservation bill if it is presented and would get passed or not.
Normally, the budget session meets for a period of one and a half months from mid-February and the budget for a whole year is presented in the house. But because the general elections are slated to take place in the summer of 2019, the legislative assembly will present a Vote on Account. Not just Gujarat, but almost every state assembly in February will not be presenting a complete budget.
A Vote on Account is a special provision where the government seeks approval of the assembly to draw money to fund its expenses for a short period of time or until a full budget is presented and passed. Normally a Vote on Account is taken for a period of two months.
Because the assembly will meet only for a week, major issues like farmers loan waiver, youth unemployment, groundnut scam, Patidar reservation, Lok Rakshak Dal Paper Leaks, etc won't be discussed in the house. Also as the MLAs will get very little time to raise certain topics against the ruling party, the state government will not face a threat to its power like the last time where the opposition had demanded a no-confidence motion.

My Florida Vacay
We went to dinner one night at Pompano Joe's. It's a restaurant right on the beach which is cool. The last time I was in FL, I stayed right by there, and we would walk up the beach and grab lunch. It's great because the windows let the breeze in, and there is a spectacular view of the ocean. However when I dined there this time, it was chilly and the windows were closed=( I tried an oyster for the first time, and it was not bad at all like people make them out to be. They were kinda salty and chewy, but NOT bad.

Awww I love that area :) I live in Tallahassee, about 2 hours away. I've never been to Harry T's, but have heard so much about it! Usually when we go we stay at my husband's uncle's condo in Watercolor, and stay pretty isolated!

I'm majoring in Political Science with a minor en francais. Welp, I go to Miami University and last year I spent all my time playing so my parents told me they would give me a year to "get it together" and I was like...um, not possible. So I transferred to a branch campus to work on my GPA and I don't really feel like going back to the main campus...so Vanderbilt it is! I would love to go to Georgetown, but I'm not sure I could live in the city. I'd rather just vacay there.
That's fabulous! My sister goes to Milligan. I'm hoping to come down for Thanksgiving! Very exciting :) PS- I love your "Paperless Post"

Waterford scored again in the seventh. Gavin Roanhouse reached base on a single, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a passed ball.
In the first game of the doubleheader Hunter Karpinski drew a bases-loaded walk with the score tied 8-8 to score Davis Braun.

Complimentary breakfast not good ...
On my Business trip I visited Coorg. I went there along with my colleagues in the month of April 2017. We went there by own vehicle. The location of the hotel was well placed. It is convenient in reaching the place. However we initially felt difficulty in searching the place. The appearance of the hotel was superb. It looked new and elegant. The Front office staff was responding well. They welcome us fine. As we reached the hotel at night time. They were tired. So there welcome was not so good. They did not take much time in check-in and check-out. The service of the hotel was prompt. The room was well maintained. The room was clean and there was an aged person who used to get coffee and tea. We had breakfast in the hotel. It was not tasty. It was complimentary. However dinner was great. There were no other activities.
During a holiday trip with my friends We visited Coorg in the month of January 2017. We booked this homestay directly. The destination was a very good place. The homestay was located on the outside of the city. The interior and exterior appearance of the hotel was nice in look and maintained well. The reception area was not there. The service staff were instant and they are provided all our requirements on time. The room was not well maintained. They want to improve the room facilities. We had food from the homestay it was tasty and served hot. The complimentary breakfast was provided in the homestay. There were no fun games in the hotel.
I visited Coorg in the month of December 2016. This was a business trip with colleagues. I booked my stay directly. The location of the hotel was next to coffee estate.

Food and drinks were fabulous. This is a kind of homestay. Extra activities were not available. Only parking was available. Overall experience was very good. I would suggest this hotel to others.

Pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 T-lymphocytes orchestrate many organ-specific autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and type I diabetes. The pathologic activity of these cells can be modulated by different forms of regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg), most prominently Treg expressing the Foxp3 transcription factor. Adoptive immunotherapy with Foxp3+ Treg therefore holds promise in the selective treatment of autoimmune conditions. Our laboratory has specifically focused on the therapeutic application of Foxp3+ Treg that are generated by conditioning naove T lymphocytes with TGF-2. We demonstrated that the cellular properties of these """"""""induced Treg"""""""" (iTreg) differ from those of directly isolated endogenous Treg (natural Treg, nTreg). Despite this, iTreg and nTreg are equivalently potent in treating a model autoimmune disease, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and operate through similar mechanisms. In this proposal, we will address the unique biology of iTreg, and lay a foundation for their clinical translation into a cellular immunotherapeutic. In preliminary studies we demonstrated that a large proportion of iTreg, but not nTreg, lose Foxp3 expression after adoptive transfer. One key difference between iTreg and nTreg is in their extent of self-specificity. Self-specificity will impact T-cell homeostasis, and we hypothesize will also influence iTreg survival and function.
In Aim 1, we will study the role of TCR specificity in iTreg survival, Foxp3 preservation, and therapeutic activity. Our preliminary data shows that iTreg, like nTreg, are highly potent, operate to prevent and treat EAE in an IL-10-dependent manner, and catalyze the development of additional autoantigen-specific Treg (infectious tolerance).
In Aim 2, we will determine how iTreg induce immune tolerance by diverting a pathologic immune response into a regulatory response, and the specific role of IL-10 in this. We have further demonstrated that TLR ligands dramatically enhance the preservation of Foxp3 expression in and survival of therapeutically transferred iTreg. We hypothesize that TLR activation, either through APC or directly into iTreg, promotes the survival and activity of iTreg.
In Aim 3, we will identify how innate immune pathways alter iTreg therapeutic activity, and probe a possible adjunct role for TLR agonists in iTreg induction and immunotherapy. These studies will provide new insights into how iTreg modulate immunity after therapeutic transfer and how they may be functionally optimized to maximum potency and efficacy, and will facilitate the clinical translation of iTreg immunotherapy
diseases develop when the immune system fails to recognize an individual's own cells and tissues as self, and attacks them. Effector T-lymphocytes, a class of cells within the immune system, are critically involved in orchestrating autoimmune responses and mediating tissue damage. This proposal's goal is to promote the development of new cellular therapies for autoimmune diseases using a different class of T lymphocytes, called regulatory T lymphocytes that are able to specifically suppress effector T lymphocyte functions.

1 of my 4 chickens was killed by my neighbours dogs. her fence between herself and me came loose , allowing her 2 dogs into my garden. i know the fence coming down is an act of god so to speak , but do i have any rights???? can anyone help and advise me please??? i called the rspca this morning who were of know help to me at all. they just advised me top call the local dog warden. also, i cannot bury our dead chicken as of fear of foxes or even our cat , or the neighbours dogs digging it up, could anyone advise me on where would i take her please as i dont know if a vet would. thankyou for any advice given .
Re: help!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about your chicken it must be very upsetting. I think that since it was an accident due to the fence coming down I would try to keep calm vis a vis your neighbour. They should make sure that the fence is repaired properly so that it doesn't happen again. I would try your local vets who will have some arrangement regarding cremation of animals. They will probably charge you around £20 for the service.
hope this is of help.

Looking at the news, it seems we've gone back in time in many ways -- so the fact that there'll be steam trains on the District Line once again this year doesn't seem entirely out of place.
However, thankfully it's not because there'll be no trains after Brexit (we've got a stockpile... har har). It's to celebrate the District Line's 150th birthday.
Incredibly, the line opened all the way back in 1868, serving five stations. You've come a long way, baby.
The 150th celebrations started on Saturday with a birthday event that turned out to be a lot more popular than TfL anticipated. According to Ruslkim10 on Reddit, loads of people turned up to get their cool free tote bag, but TfL only had 25 of them so they went almost instantly.
Never underestimate the people's love of freebies.
Image: Ruslkim10 via Reddit
Luckily, there are still the actual steam trains to look forward to. We don't have a date for the event yet, but no doubt the trusty District Line Twitter account (which weirdly tweets in the first person) will keep us informed.
I've turned 150 years young – it's time to celebrate! 🎈
I'd love for you to join me at my birthday party! 🎉
Come say hi today and you might score a free tote 🎁https://t.co/GPM9lSmJC2 pic.twitter.com/qsPCFbJkSS
— District line (@districtline) January 26, 2019
This isn't the first time steam trains have returned to the Underground, but it will likely be the last. According to London guru IanVisits, signalling upgrades to the lines mean the old trains won't work for much longer, so jump on the steam bandwagon while you still can.
There's also an ambitious restoration effort underway to get the last three beautiful art deco Q-stock District Line trains from the thirties back in action. They need £200k and the work's being done by volunteers, so if you can spare a fiver for a fluted glass lampshade, here's where to send it.

Over the years, the usual pick for the star of The Bachelorette is the second runner-up from the previous season of The Bachelor. But, in recent years, production has changed its casting formula a bit. For example, Caila Quinn was reported to be the original pick from Ben Higgins' season, but last minute, JoJo Fletcher received the honor.
Reality Steve has revealed that Rachel Lindsay has been chosen as the next Bachelorette star, which would make her the first black woman to appear as the lead on the series. Generally, the next star is revealed after The Bachelor season wraps, but Reality Steve reports that Jimmy Kimmel will be revealing the news on his late night talk show tonight. Creator Mike Fleiss has called the announcement "historic" and he posted the below tweet about it yesterday.
Fleiss has also posted the below tweets, leading up to the big reveal:
What is a bit strange is that the reveal is coming before Rachel Lindsay is even eliminated on The Bachelor. According to Reality Steve, Lindsay makes it to the final three on the show. Reality Steve's explanation of this is this:
One, we have our first black lead in the history of the show. And two, we are getting the first "Bachelorette" to be announced while they are still competing on the show. Rachel doesn't go home for another two weeks. They set this precedent last season when Nick was announced as the "Bachelor" while he was still on BIP and in a "relationship" with Jen … They've never named the lead of either the "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette" while they were still competing on the season they were on. So in that aspect, yeah, it's historic I'd say. Because of spoilers, they've changed the game. If spoilers weren't around, they'd never do this.
So, it looks like Lindsay will be the next Bachelorette, but you'll have to wait for tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live for the official reveal.

Carolynn Ozar-Diakon, born in Plymouth England, passed on the 27th of January at home surrounded by her loving family. Carolynn is survived by her husband Bob and children; Christopher (Haarika), Brett (Sally), and Gabrielle. Grammy to Beau and Reese. She was an Aunt to Alaina, Simon and Olivia.
Carolynn, who spent over 30 years in real estate, was the Founder and Senior Partner of Resources Real Estate, a leading agency with offices across Monmouth County. She arrived in America with just $200 dollars, but also with a lot of wit and tenacity. Carolynn worked her way from odd jobs and inspirational counseling to eventually landing in real estate. From a single small office, her firm grew rapidly and now employs 90 agents and staff. Carolynn, however, was quick to point out that her biggest achievement was her family. Resources Real Estate was her legacy. She also considered it a point of pride that so many of her customers became her friends.
When not running Resources, she devoted herself to helping others. Carolynn was actively involved in charitable and civic organizations that included the Monmouth County Historical Association, the Mental Health Association of Monmouth County and 180 Turning Lives Around. Much of her charitable outreach was focused on the challenges facing single mothers.
Carolynn did not spend much time relaxing, but she did love spending time on the beach in Sea Bright. She was a voracious reader with an appetite for learning. She read everything from the arcane technical aspects of real estate marketing to English History to Romance novels. She also spent many summer Sunday evenings with family and friends watching the sun set on the Navesink.
Carolynn was strong, brilliant, beautiful and FUNNY. She had an endearing Lucille Ball-esque comic sense that lit up a room. Carolynn was typically the person at parties you wanted to know more about. Simply put, she was larger than life.
Carolynn fought her cancer mightily. She rarely, if ever, complained even in the toughest times. She smiled and laughed constantly, and will be sorely missed. Carolynn would certainly want us to be sure to acknowledge the wonderful care she received from Riverview Medical Center Oncology Department.
Visitation will be Thursday, January 31st from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. and Friday, February 1st from 6 to 8 p.m. at Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad St, Red Bank. There will be no other services following this visitation.

Every tyrant trashes history.
Reader comment on item: American Intifada
Submitted by Lujack Skylark (United States), Oct 11, 2007 at 15:08
Emperor Shang Ti, who built the Great Wall of China, destroyed all the books he could find on Chinese history because Chinese history was to begin with him. Shang Ti's ancestors did not count. Mohammad started a new religion and a new calender cause time only started with him. Spanish conquistadors destroyed all Mayan history books because a Spanish man wanted to make money rewriting Mayan history and Adolf Hitler destroyed all Jewish books because he wanted to erase the Jews memory off the face of our earth. Today, the world leaders are adopting Abbas (Abyss) plan to build a terrorist nation comprising of Judea & Samaria, while the citizens of our world have no idea that the Jewish scriptures reveal mankind's true origins in the flow of time. Book of Genesis & Exodus correctly outlines mankind's chronology. The book is directly from God. Mankind leaves the Tower of Babel 0 year at Peleg's birth which begins the birth of all nations.
Remember in this Biblical chronology Abraham Genesis 12:4 was 75 when Terah was 205 in Genesis 11:32. Biblical chronology revealing how civilization began: 0 year Peleg born. 30th year in the history of nations Reu is born. 62nd year Serug; 92nd Nahor; 121st year Terah and he lives 121-326 years in the history of nations. Haran born 191st year. Haran builds a city in north Syria. 251st year Abraham is born in UR. Haran dies at age 127 in year 318 some 430 years before the Exodus. Genesis 23:1 Sarah later also dies at age 127. Terah, Abraham & Lot move to Haran the 318th year in the history of nations. Some 430 years later in the 748th year after mankind fled the Tower of Babel the Exodus takes place. 430 years were spent in Canaan & Egypt. How do we prove Biblical history? We go to Sumer/Babylonian records.
The Bible says Nimrod built the Genesis 10:10 city of Accad/Akkad/Agade Genesis 10:11 Nimrod invaded Ashur/Assyria so the Assyrians called Nimrod by the name Sargon. SUMER HISTORY: 0-56 Sargon, 56-65 Rimush 65-80 Manishtushu built a temple in the Genesis 10:11 city of Nineveh,Assyria., 80-120 Naramsin who fought an Egyptian king Manium who is actually Menkaure who reigned over Egypt 95-121 years in the history of nations. 120-211 Gutium barbarians reign over Sumer. 211-218 king of the Genesis 10:10 city of Erech Utu-Khegal reigns over Sumer. 218-326 years Ur-Nammu's dynasty. Abraham born 251st year in the reign of Ur king's Shulgi/Dungi. Abraham was not born in Ur in 191 year when Gutium king Balulu reigned at Ur 175-211 years in the history of nations. The Bible is right. Abraham was only 75 years old when Elamite king Kindattu destroyed UR in year 326 when Abraham was in Haran. Kindattu is Chedorlaomer in Genesis chapter 14. Abraham slays the very same Elamite king who had destroyed his hometown of Ur.
When Haran died in the 318th year the Amorites also revolted that year. Amorites burned down the Egyptian temple at Byblos, Lebanon and aligned themselves with Kindattu/Chedorlaomer for 12 years 318-330 years Genesis 14:4 until Egyptian pharaoh Pepi II died. Pepi II set fire to the Amorite temple in Mendes, Egypt. Abraham entered Egypt age 75 & Sarah age 65 in year 326 when Pepi II was 96 years old and was stricken by Sarah's beauty. Pepi II dies year 330 in the history of nations. Egyptians launch civil war against Egypt's government. Amorites having no fear of Egypt revolt against Kindattu/Chedorlaomer. The Elamite king is slain in 332nd year. Kindattu's nephew Indattu I was called "Son of Pepi" becoming king over Elam two years after Egypt's bi-sexual king Pepi II had died. Elamite and Amorites war against each other 332-348 years. Genesis 15:13-16 Amorites are in power for 400 years. 348-748 years in the history of nations. Joan Oates in her book Babylon shows Amorite kings in power over Babylon for 300 years. 348-648 years. The years 648-748 years the Amorites still held power in Syria & Canaan. 748th year was the year of the Exodus! Sumer & Babylon's history confirms Moses account on ancient history. We start with Nimrod-Sargon in Genesis 10:10 and end with the Amorites 400 years of power.
There are no missing links in the history. Egyptian history is based on star worship; Egyptians helped build the square Tower of Babel before Mizraim/Djoser built the square Step Pyramid in Egypt. The Time before the Step Pyramid is legendary history. EGYPTIAN HISTORY: 0-18 Mizraim the father of the Egyptians also called Djoser was Nimrod's cousin. 18-42 Snef-ru son of Path-ru ( ism = tribe Genesis 10:14 & Ezekiel 29:14 Pathros is the nation Pathru created. Pathru deified Ptah. Imhotep worshipped Ptah (Pathru) Imhotep Djoser/Mizram's high priest.
42-64 Khufu son of Snefru 64-71 Redejef son of Khufu 71-95 Khafre son of Khufu. Now Khafre had trade with Ebla, Syria a city built by Eber in Genesis 10:25 Ebla, Syria paid 0-80 years Akkad tribute in the reigns of Sargon/Nimrod, Rimush & Manishtushu. Ebla, Syria would not pay Naramsin 80-120 years tribute, so Naramsin destroyed Ebla, Syria. 95-121 years Menkaure son of Khafre is what the Sumer people call king Manium. Naramsin invades Egypt. Menkaure loses the war. 121-125 Shepseskaf son of Menkaure completes his father's pyramid. Naramsin had required quarried stones as tribute helped to delay pyramid completion. 125-135 general Userkaf Menkauru's son-in-law reigns over Egypt. Trade expands to Cythera, Greece. 135-149 Userkaf's son Sahuru expands trade to Talhatum, Asia Minor.
First foreign king to have trade with Talhatum was Akkadian king Naramsin. Sahuru is a tyrant. Egypt's enemies from the north, south, east and west attack Sahuru. Six Egyptian generals die but are listed as kings on the Egyptian king list. General Unis becomes the next real king in Egyptian history. Unis reigns 149-178 years in the history of nations and gives praise to his god Atum who defeated Egypt's enemies in the north, south, east & west. 178-191 years. Teti Unis son-in-law builds a temple to the stars. Sumer history: 180-201 years Gudea Gutium governor of Lagash builds a temple to the stars. 191-240 Egyptian pharaoh Pepi I son of Unis trades with the rebuilt city of Ebla, Syria. Sumer history 180-201 years Gudea trades with the rebuilt city of Ebla, Syria. Pepi I was first to build copper statues. Sumer history: 218-236 years Ur-Nammu king of Ur made copper statuettes. 240-330 years Pepi II reigns over Egypt. God plagues Egypt. (Genesis 12:17) and the Memphis dynasty falls. REAL HISTORY OF UR FINALLY REVEALED. 34-114 years Mesaanapadda & Annapadda reign at Ur . Annapadda was the first moon priest of Ur and Enheduanna was the first moon priestess. Enheduanna was the daughter of Sargon/Nimrod and her vase was found at Ur!. 114-150 years Meskiag-nannar reigned at Ur.
The electrum swords found at the Royal Tombs. (Pharaoh Sahure 135-149 years mixed gold & silver to produce electrum.) Naramsin's son reigned over Akkad 120-145 years and his name was Sharkalisharri in the Gutium years! There was a Gutium king named ELULU who fought for control of Akkad 145-148 years in the history of nations. Meskiag-nannar 114-150 years note the next king is Gutium ELULU who reigns over Ur 150-175 years followed by Gutium king Balulu 175-211 years. Archaeologists Woosley had no names for the kings of Ur second dynasty because the second dynasty did not exist! 211th year Utu-Khegal defeats Gutium leader Tirigan; Utukhegal also takes over Ur and appoints Ur-Nammu as governor. 211-218 Utu-Khegal reigns at Erech while Ur-Nammu reigns at Ur before slaying his king. 218-326 Ur-Nammu's 108 year old dynasty as previously stated. SUMER'S NON-LEGENDARY HISTORY CORRESPONDS WITH THE BIBLICAL NUMBERS! 330th year Pepi II dies and Amorites start their quest for power. (Real Egyptian kings start naming their sons after themselves!) 330-345 years Mentuhotep I Mentu means god of war declares Thebes independent. 345-395 Mentuhotep II has trouble finding water just when Abraham is having a dispute about a well with the Philistines. Mentuhotep II reunites Egypt and drives the Amorites out of Egypt's delta. Mentuhotep III 395-406 re-establishes trade with Punt, Africa. 406-412 Mentuhotep IV won't pass reforms. He is assassinated by Amenemhet I Mentuhotep IV was a Thebean and in 612th year Thebean Ahmose actually assassinates Amenemhet IV exactly 200 years later. (Biblical life spans: Abraham 251-426, Isaac 351-531 Jacob 411-558, Joseph 502-612 & Moses 668-748 Moses was 80 at the time of the Exodus) 412-442 Amenemhet I builds the Walls of the Ruler to keep Amorites out of Egypt. Abraham dies 426th year. Genesis 26:2 Issac is told by God not to enter Egypt during Senusert I's reign. Why? The Oxford History of Egypt p. 167 says Senusert I 442-478 is the throat sliter of Asiatics. Amenemhet II 478-512 years Tod treasure opens up trade with the Minoans his 28th year in year 506. Also imports 1500 slaves from Turnip, Syria. 512-519 Senusert II Minoans build his temple at Luhan, Egypt. Joseph age 17 year 519 arrives in Egypt at Senusert II's funeral. Joseph gets a job with the new kings guard of Senusert III. Senusert III 519-558, Amenemhet III 558-603 & Amenemhet IV 603-612 years.
Senusert III army enters Shechem shortly after God plagued the region in Genesis 35:1-6 Jacob is in Bethel when Egyptians appear. Senusert III annexes Canaan. Genesis chapter 47:13-17 Joseph controls both the economies of Canaan & Egypt. Joseph entered Egypt age 17 and dies age 110. Genesis 50:26. Joseph lived in Egypt 93 years. Senusert III, Amenemhet III & Amenemhet IV reigned over Egypt 93 years. When Joseph died 612th year; Amenemhet IV was assassinated shortly afterwards. It was a great Egyptian cover up. 612-615 Queen Sobeknefru reigns and also mysteriously dies. 615-640 years Ahmose reigns over Egypt and destroys Heliopolis, Egypt.
Ahmose destroys all records of Joseph reigning over Egypt. 640-661 Amenhotep I name derived from AMENemhet of the 12th dynasty and MentuHOTEP of the 11th dynasty proving the 13-17th Egyptian dynasties were phony! 661-748 House of Thutmoses I-III. Thutmose I was the baby killer who Exodus 1:8 knew not Joseph cause Ahmose destroyed all Egyptian records. Queen Hatshepsut was princess Hatshepsut at the time of Moses birth. Hatshepsut took over Thutmose II power and Thutmose III was the pharaoh of the Exodus whom Moses would not bow down to. 1 Kings 6:1 says Solomon's 4th year was 480 years after the Exodus. Well 480 years from Solomon's reign means Moses confronted Egypt's Napolean Thutmose III the conquerer of the Middle-East who forced all to worship Egypt's gods except for Moses who served the god of all creation. ITS NOT RIGHT THAT PEOPLE JUDGE ISRAEL WITHOUT CHECKING ALL THE FACTS. MOSES GAVE THE WORLD THE TRUTH BUT PEOPLE WON'T CHECK THE REAL HISTORY WHICH VERIFIES OUR HOLY SCRIPTURES!

The massive social spread of interactive entertainment media represents a major challenge for our education system and at the same time offers enormous potential. Today, children and young people are already accustomed to no longer consuming media passively, but rather to actively participating in the media production process. In this way, a culture of participation is emerging that encompasses all age groups and in which the playful and fun approach to information and knowledge plays an increasingly dominant role.
The Centre for Applied Game Research already conducted a pilot project in the 2007/2008 school year, in which the didactic use of playful entertainment media in regular lessons was tested at several Austrian schools. It was impressively demonstrated that innovative playful approaches not only have a motivating effect on pupils, but can also have a very positive effect on the overall teaching climate and dynamics. The experience gained during this project formed the basis for the development of the course in Media Game Pedagogy.
In the university course the students acquire competences in dealing with proven methods and approaches from the fields of play, theatre and media pedagogy and learn how digital media and games can didactically enrich their field of practice. In addition, the students acquire the appropriate knowledge and know-how to develop their own media pedagogical projects and methods and deepen their knowledge in particular in the areas of "Game Based Learning" and "Educational Game Design".
The course is optimised for pedagogues and is designed to be part-time. The teaching days take place exclusively on weekends or during holidays.
- Educators of all school levels
- Elementary teachers
- Social educators
- Trainers and coaches
- People who want to use games, digital media and action-oriented approaches in their professional environment.
- Persons with a scientific interest in media and games research

Why You Need The Best in Hospitality Lighting
Brighten Up Your Space With The Best Lighting
Whether you run a hotel in need of a renovation or are launching a new restaurant, your lighting has to be top-notch to attract and retain the best customers. Why? Among other reason:
It Needs To Be Functional
With hotel lighting design, and for restaurants too, style can be king, but function is even more critically important. People need to be able to read menus, see clearly in their guest bathrooms, and feel like they are safe as they're walking down hallways.
It is Part of Your Brand
When you are in the hospitality business, your space – your hotel, restaurant, bar – is your brand. Your lighting is a critical part of that brand. How your lights look and function will create impressions among your clientele, and this will impact how your brand is experienced and remembered. Whether you need hotel lighting design, restaurant lighting, or hotel lighting manufacturing, we do it all. We are more than just a hotel lighting supplier.

It Can Make A Statement

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A Tale of Two Monasteries takes an unprecedented look at one of the great rivalries of the Middle Ages and offers it as a revealing lens through which to view the intertwined histories of medieval England and France. This is the first book to systematically compare Westminster Abbey and the abbey of Saint-Denis--two of the most important ecclesiastical institutions of the thirteenth century--and to do so through the lives and competing careers of the two men who ruled them, Richard de Ware of Westminster and Mathieu de Vendôme of Saint-Denis.
Esteemed historian William Jordan weaves a breathtaking narrative of the social, cultural, and political history of the period. It was an age of rebellion and crusades, of artistic and architectural innovation, of unprecedented political reform, and of frustrating international diplomacy--and Richard and Mathieu, in one way or another, played important roles in all these developments. Jordan traces their rise from obscure backgrounds to the highest ranks of political authority, Abbot Richard becoming royal treasurer of England, and Abbot Mathieu twice serving as a regent of France during the crusades. By enabling us to understand the complex relationships the abbots and their rival institutions shared with each other and with the kings and social networks that supported and exploited them, A Tale of Two Monasteries paints a vivid portrait of medieval society and politics, and of the ambitious men who influenced them so profoundly.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [223]-242) and index.
England and France in the early thirteenth century -- Two great monasteries and two young men -- The Treaty of Paris -- The best of times, the worst of times -- A monumental rivalry -- Two royal successions -- The abbeys in the new regimes -- Diplomacy and governance -- Epilogue.

Washington D.C., Feb 23, 2010 / 06:55 pm (CNA).- Pro-life Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) released a statement on Tuesday morning, calling President Obama's latest health care proposal "unacceptable" on the issue of abortion.
Rep. Stupak, who has been outspokenly opposed to abortion during his political tenure, said on Feb. 23 that he "was pleased to see that President Obama's health care proposal did not include several of the sweetheart deals provided to select states in the Senate bill."
"Unfortunately, the President's proposal encompasses the Senate language allowing public funding of abortion," the Michigan representative stated. "The Senate language is a significant departure from current law and is unacceptable," he added.
"While the President has laid out a health care proposal that brings us closer to resolving our differences, there is still work to be done before Congress can pass comprehensive health care reform."
Rep. Stupak stepped into the national political spotlight when he introduced an amendment to the House health care reform bill that maintained the Hyde Amendment ban on using federal funds to pay for abortions. The Stupak Amendment passed in the House by a vote of 240-194 last November.
The story is continued here.

This is the question that many women face on a regular basis. Indeed, for a number of predominantly female disorders, whether hormonally modulated or not, there are often many years before the symptoms are addressed as real and not figments of the female imagination. Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are two such examples, but so are endometriosis and an array of other perhaps more subtle hormone conditions.
During those years before modern medicine and the research community recognize the reality that define a particular disease process; during the years when women are prescribed psychiatric meds for non psychiatric conditions; during the years when pain medications with diverse side-effect profiles blur the line between the original disease and the one that is induced pharmacologically; during those years, how does one become the e-patient, the e-woman, without becoming a physician herself?
Really, we want to know.
One of the great disruptions to knowledge and power over the last decade has been our ability to spread information via social media. Who could have predicted that entire governments would fall because of a 140-character social sharing tool called Twitter? But that is exactly what has happened. Discontent was shared, it grew more focused and action became possible.
The same is happening in medicine. People, who formerly suffered in silence, can now reach out and communicate with others worldwide. Information, once accessible only to an elite few is readily available online. The information is complex and requires a degree of literacy not expected even a decade ago, but it is there and it is available. Patients are becoming experts about their own health.
The invisible illness remains invisible only if we let it. The unknown remains unknowable, only if we ignore it. Do we have to become physicians and treat ourselves? No, but we have to become educated in way no generation before us has. We have to seek, find and even drive the research community towards the goals that will improve our health. This cannot happen in a vacuum. Social media can help, but only if we talk, share and learn.
This issue of the blog is about empowerment and learning. We know there are women out there that have overcome great health obstacles in the area of hormone health. We know there are women who have become their experts in their own health. Share your stories. Help guide other women through this path. Let us feature your story on the carousel above.

In the wake of the terrorist attack by Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old immigrant from Uzbekistan, who murdered eight people in a truck attack in New York Monday, President Donald Trump signaled on Twitter that he was prepared to crack down on immigration visa programs.
"We are fighting hard for Merit Based immigration, no more Democrat Lottery Systems," Trump wrote on Twitter. "We must get MUCH tougher (and smarter)."

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 1, 2017
Trump criticized the program that allowed the Sayfullo Saipov into the United States.
"The terrorist came into our country through what is called the 'Diversity Visa Lottery Program,' a Chuck Schumer beauty," Trump said. "I want merit based."

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 1, 2017
The "Diversity VISA Program" is a lottery for individuals from nations with few immigrants in the U.S.
The program was part of a bill introduced in 1990 by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., while he was still serving in the House of Representatives, Breitbart reported.
Via the Numbers USA research report on the "Immigration Act of 1990" via GP:
The Schumer proposal would have set aside 75,000 visas each year for a new category of "diversity immigrants."112 Under this proposal, the world would be separated into "high-admission regions" and "low-admission regions," within which would be "high-admission states" and "low-admission states."
[…] The regions used in the Schumer proposal were: 1) Africa; 2) Asia; 3) Europe; 4) North America, excluding Mexico; 5) Oceania; and 6) South America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. […] Once the negotiators had reached an agreement that Sen. Simpson could live with, a conference committee was appointed. Within a four-day period, the conferees met, agreed and issued a report, and both the House and the Senate approved the final report.128 As passed, the Immigration Act of 1990129 included a Diversity Transition program that would allocate 40,000 visas per year in 1992, 1993 and 1994 to nationals of "adversely affected" countries, as defined by the 1986 diversity program.
On Wednesday morning President Trump SLAMMED Senator Schumer over this reckless immigration plan.
"'Senator Chuck Schumer helping to import Europes problems,'" said Col.Tony Shaffer," Trump wrote. "We will stop this craziness!"

Custom Built Homes – Expert Interior Design Service
Custom built homes are all about a fresh new start. Even with a builder package, building your own home is a lot of work. There are deadlines and expectations to be met. Most people get an architect and builder, and wing everything else, hoping the architectural design and builder will deal with it all.
Ever thought about using an expert interior design service? Most people think hiring an interior designer is out of their reach but you can try small online services like choosing colors or getting layout advice at Hop Skip Decorate for as little as $10 from highly experienced designers and architects including Shayna Scott.
So, who better than Marteen Moore, our Expert of the Month, to cover what an interior designer does for custom built homes.
Whether you are remodeling your home, doing a small or large makeover, need a new kitchen or pantry storage, adding a second floor and needing under stair storage, an experienced interior designer can help you in so many ways to get the job done faster and even cheaper.
Its not just about choosing a few colors or tiles; if you think your architect or builder can help you with furniture layout, color schemes, insulation or kitchen hardware, you might want to rethink your building strategy, so you end up with a home you really love and feel comfortable in.
This is exactly the kind of work Marteen Moore does.
In this article Marteen explains what you should look for when designing your custom built home and the value an interior designer can bring in cutting costs and reducing errors, making you rest easy and getting the home you want and expect.
Designing a Custom Home from the Ground Up
by Marteen Moore
When I am designing a custom home from the ground up, its important that I work with the individual clients, to learn as much about their taste, life style, needs and expectations.
Three Important Design Factors
It's not always easy to work out what you like, and that's why I find it important, if not vital, to work closely;
1. With the Architect; to insure that all the rooms are adequately size for what the room will be used for.
2. With the General Contractor; to specify everything from flooring, cabinets, counters, windows, plumbing fixtures and bathroom tiles are in keeping with the clients tastes.
3. With the Client; to get a theme for the home, lifestyle and tastes. Then to create a furniture layout plan. This helps to know exactly the size, type and amount of furnishings we will need while the house is being built.
Here are a few pictures of a custom home I worked on.
If you notice, through out the home, there there is a theme, chosen by the client. The style of the home is transitional with a Frank Lloyd Wright feeling. We incorporated different geometric forms, from circles, triangles and squares.
The front of the home has all three. Circles on the front gates. Triangle shaped lights and square mullions on the top of all windows.
The family room is comfortable and inviting and in close proximity to the open kitchen. Such a large space needs good task and overhead lighting, set into the ceiling, along walls to make the space feel larger and look brighter, and pendants for breakfast and casual dining.
The large square structure, acts as structural support and in keeping with the decorating theme. We continued the square theme in the furnishing; adding pops of color to create some interest and add some fun. The back of the counter stools have triangles and a circle. A similar detail that you will see on the dining curio piece. Notice the design of the book case, incorporating different square and rectangle elements. Even the ottoman plays along.
The kitchen has an open feel. Themed organic moss orbs (circles) on the cabinets and more moss plants above the cabinets tie in with the geometric theme. Notice the glass tile back splash in a brick pattern.
The dining room continues the decorative theme. The window coverings consist of 6 square copper finials. As mentioned earlier, the curio cabinet also has 6 squares, each with circles in the middle. The dining chairs have geometric backs while the square mirror and cabinet continue the theme and the rug and lighting contribute with circles.
The living room is warm and cozy. Squares and rectangles are highlighted everywhere, from the big square armchairs, to the square passes through niches, between the living room and the stairwell to the basement. Circles are also to be seen above the mantel, three round coffee and side tables and rounded vases and ornaments in the square passes.
The squares allow additional natural light into the stairwell area and continues the decorative theme to be seen without adding any additional features.
Here we are where we began; with the front door keeping the theme with the square small windows, round rug and curved entry hall table.

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Marteen Moore, has been in Interior Design for over 23 years and featured in Better Home and Garden, House Beautiful, The Robb Report and Luxury Magazine.
She works closely with clients and their architects, to build large custom homes, from the Project's early stages to get the details right.
But she is also well known for her remodeling Projects like the home Robert DeNiro leased when working on Casino, the larger suites at the Mirage Hotel and the home of Mayor Oscar and Carolyn Goodman.
You can see the diversity of styles and themes Marteen has completed over her great career. You can get more information about Marteen at her website.

The news cycle appears to be churning ever faster. Whether as a reaction to events, an attempt to manage the narrative or obscure the message is a debate that will occur for some time with the real answer becoming apparent in the hindsight of history. Not to minimize the Charlottesville tragedy or the headline grabbing Bannon ouster, but these stories are playing out in several flavors depending on the source. As one who attempts to discern the impact of issues on my investments, two (possible) financial headlines crossed my desk amid the other events that intrigued me.
The first was the disbanding of two of the President's much ballyhooed councils, Strategic and Policy Forum (jointly disbanded Aug 16) and American Manufacturing Council (Trump disbanded via Tweet Aug 16). This was followed by the announcement that his Advisory Council on Infrastructure (created by a July Executive Order) was ceasing to be formed.

Just a few of thoughts on this topic:
- Notice the UK company as a participant? I thought the strategy was less globalization …
- One has to wonder if the next step is boycott activity – spurred by either side. If so, my assumption is it would not succeed as a boycott requires media attention and there is precious little of this available.
- Although interesting, this information will not likely move the market in either direction.
The second item this week relates to Carl Icahn's resignation as Special Advisor to President Trump. Carl is an interesting character who I chronicled a little bit in a prior post. Now the New Yorker has penned a whopper that – if true – takes his antics to an even higher level. The bottom line allegation is that he used his position in a failed attempt to modify EPA regulations to increase profits at one of companies, CVR Energy (CVI). Even in a failure, it is alleged that the resulting turmoil in RIN pricing allowed CVR to book a profit in shorting RINs. To understand RINs further, I refer you to Tristan R. Brown's Seeking Alpha article. Anyway, I don't own CVI or Icahn's vehicle, IEP. I do own VLO which could improve once the dust settles especially since they are not currently identified as being complicit. I also own CASY which sells excess RINs.
9 Nov 2017 Update – IEP's 10-Q filed 3 November carried this blurb on page 59:
Item 5. Other Information.The U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York recently contacted Icahn Enterprises L.P. seeking production of information pertaining to our and Mr. Icahn's activities relating to the Renewable Fuels Standard and Mr. Icahn's role as an advisor to the President. We are cooperating with the request and are providing information in response to the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney's office has not made any claims or allegations against us or Mr. Icahn. We maintain a strong compliance program and, while no assurances can be made, we do not believe this inquiry will have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

BERN, Switzerland (AP) — The Swiss soccer league says its teams oppose a European Club Association-driven plan to reform the Champions League in 2024.
The league says the plan, including 24 wealthy teams retaining their group places year after year, would have "unacceptable consequences" for Swiss soccer. The proposal leaves only four entries for national champions to qualify.
The SFL says a team's national league performance should be the only criterion to qualify for UEFA competitions.
The clubs' proposal has dominated the debate so far in UEFA-led talks on changing the Champions League's entry paths and format.
Currently, the Swiss champion and runner-up enter the Champions League preliminary rounds.
UEFA expects to decide next year how its signature club competition will look in five years.

It may be a strange question, but one of the things we are looking at as part of our research for the new mammals gallery is people's attitudes to nature. It's really quite interesting when you think about it.
Here are some of my thoughts about people's attitudes towards mass extinctions:
People who enjoy the experience of nature
- Mass extinctions are a part of popular culture e.g. Jurassic Park
- Public interest in fossils e.g. The Dinosaur Coast Project, The Jurassic Coast
- Regular stories in the news, people are obviously interested
Scientific interest
- Research taking place all over the world and it is getting funded
- Extinctions are really usefully markers, geological time is split up using extinctions
Religious views
- Some people believe extinctions are caused by the hand of God e.g. Noah and the Great Flood
- Some people have very fatalistic religious views
Negative views of mass extinctions
- Many people are concerned we are going through the 6th major mass extinction
- Would we survive as a species?
We are trying to incorporate these sorts of views in to the new displays so they are meaningful to lots of people.

As a postpartum doula my first priority is always to empower you in your parenting and relationship with your baby and family. I provide evidence-based information as well as tips and tricks other parents, and I myself, have found useful. I strive to be up to date on not only current research but the possible pros and cons of current trends. Of course I have my own opinions but as a doula my place is not to sweep in the room with cape on, ready to fix all the things and tell you how to parent! My role is rather to help you tie on your own cape so that you may feel equipped to take on anything parenting may bring.
Let's sit down together and take a moment, letting go of all the expectations fettering your mind. Unload all of your experiences, fears and joys so I can hold them with you and support you in navigating what you need moving forward; what you need of yourself, your family and of me during my time with you. How can I be most useful during our session today? You may need some rest while I watch or hold baby, or you may need a meal prepped, support with breast or bottle feeding positions, a conversation about how you want to move forward with sleeping arrangements or about how to talk with your older children about this family transition, or maybe some support in managing visiting family and friends! There can be so much, both expected and unexpected, that arises during the first weeks of welcoming a new life into your family.
It is my goal that at the end of our time together you feel fulfilled and confident. My longing is for every parent-child relationship to be nourished and balanced. I endeavor to offer the support needed to make this a reality from the very start. Your relationship with your children and your journey as a parent will be ever evolving. I believe taking those first steps into parenting this new person – building this new relationship – with intention and a willingness to be open to the support you need will ripple through the years of your family's life.
