This is another layout of my super-adorable niece Audrey playing at the beach.
I really enjoyed creating this layout. I misted my background, fussy cut the leaves, and cut the large flowers out on my Silhouette (which were later "distressed" by my cats who have an intense fascination with my scrapbook supplies). I stamped the smaller flowers and used the leftover circles from my border punched paper.

Jefferson's Landscape Will Be Restored at Poplar Forest
Thursday, September 19, 2013
Thomas Jefferson's personal retreat, will be restored to its Jefferson-era appearance. Dozens of English boxwoods and rose shrubs that had been planted by the family that owned the house in the mid-nineteenth century have been removed so that archaeologists can carefully excavate their root systems and look for traces of Jefferson's designs in the soil. (Archaeologists confirmed that the shrubs were not part of Jefferson's design when they found a piece of ceramic under the roots of one of the boxwoods. It had been manufactured after 1833, and Jefferson died in 1826.) "It's not every day that a national historic site, a presidential site, goes through such a transformation in one day," said Jeffrey Nichols, president of Poplar Forest.FOREST, VIRGINIA—The landscape in front of Poplar Forest,

Tel Aviv's Moscoman returns to the always reliable ESP Institute for more of his infectious oddball grooves which continually defy categorisation. Much like fellow homeboys Red Axes and Autarkic, his sound sits somewhere between disco, house, synth pop, punk-funk and even balearic; and indeed that's the spectrum of sounds explored on his new album titled A Shot In The Light. There's some lo-slung, latin infused disco deepness on the "Mexican Cola Bottle Baby", trippy cosmo/psychedelic shenanigans on the hilariously titled "Losing My Wedge", the moody and entrancing journey that is the title track (which pushes the same territory as Barnt or Marvin & Guy) and there's even some darkwave electro: like on the epic closer "Death At The Funreal".
Following on from the release of his debut Trevino album earlier this year, Marcus Kaye celebrates another first - his inaugural release on Scuba's label. The title track is underpinned by a typically beefy Trevino low end and provides the basis for atmospheric chords and wave upon wave of jittery melodies. By contrast "Desecrate" is a high-paced techno number, powered by thunder claps and gristly bass stabs and "Mosaic", while less visceral, has an unquestionably functional feel thanks to the surging dub bass and pinprick acid lines that power it. Proving that he is a versatile artist, even when it comes to the dance floor, "Jungle Love" sees Kaye lay down a chord-soaked stepper.
Colin McBean is an unstoppable force at the moment isn't he! At the moment you say? Yeah too right; the guy never actually stopped his relentless pursuit of the perfect house and techno grooves since the '90s and this Conectionz EP is no exception. Starting things off in explosive fashion with the "You In Or You Out? (Sims Jacker edit)" with its relentless thud and crack of a 909 workout with funky bass and evil pads helped out by some generous reverb build ups; all you need really. The original version up next is more restrained deep house with that great vocal refrain repeating "live your life the way you wanna be free" the tracks aggression provided by those hissing rhythms. Finally "Bring It" is a soulful breakbeat number with soaring synth leads that is a great departure from McBean's normal style.
Well isn't this a marvellous meeting: progressive house legend turned techno's dark lord Dubfire collaborating the pioneer of dark journey tracks (long before the Life & Death crew): the man from Bremen and Senso boss Oliver Huntemann. The dynamic duo team up for "Humano" where some ping pong delayed tom drums drenched in reverb create tunnelling trance induction atop of a slinky tech house groove; druggy dancefloor drama indeed! There's also some killer remixes on offer. Brazil's Victor Ruiz serves up his absolutely bangning peak time rendition while American producer Shaded's "Summer Skin Remix" certainly honours the trademark sound of both producers on this seething and slow burning dancefloor journey guaranteed to cause a headrush or two!
Atichgate is the third release from mysterious producer 04LM on Soma and consolidates his reputation as a purveyor of deep dub techno. That said, there is nothing introverted or reflective about this three-track EP. From the outset, he lays down a powerful manifesto; "Atich" rolls along at almost 130bpm and features mysterious synths rising up through its bass-heavy, pounding groove. The title track dispenses with melody altogether for a rumbling, grainy workout that centres on grainy percussion and an insistent, creaky filter. "Afterbyte" sees 04LM revert to a cleaner sound, and its solid kick underpins a wave of tranced out melodies.
Shlomo makes a return to Darko Esser's label after the 2015 release Avadon. Despite being known as a techno producer the release starts with the title track beautifully fragile ambience and this mood continues with the tranced out beatless "MUM". The Taaipon boss edges closer to the dance floor with "The Ritual" but this track also has a mysterious edge and its swinging rhythm and broken beats emerge from behind eerie found sounds. "Obsession" sees Shlomo deliver an expertly weighted acid heavy dance floor techno track but its lithe rhythm means that it seduces by stealth rather than by force. All told it's a masterfully subtle release.
As some of you may well know by now, mysterious Yorkshireman Kamera delivered a fine selection of moods and grooves on the Ventoux EP which were conceived during a series of gruelling training sessions while cycling Mont Ventoux. It recently received a first round of remix treatments by scene favourites such as Droid Behavior's Truncate and Malin Genie affiliate Yaleesa Hall. This second offering features ManMakeMusic's George Fitzgerald whose rendition of "Consignia" turns it into a darkly emotive journey track with layers of hypnotising pads over a cracking and relentless beat. Houndstooth's Throwing Snow steps up afterwards to present his makeover of "Ventoux" getting some properly glitched out breaks working marvellously beneath some lush and dreamy elements, creating a wonderfully hypnotising whole.
It would be fair to say that Oscar Mulero is a techno purist. Over the last 16 years, he's built a solid reputation via singles and albums that rarely stray from techno's hypnotic, heavyweight roots. Hyperbolic Paths, his first single for Token since 2008, continues on this path. Its' four cuts are built around bombastic, full-throttle rhythm tracks, unsettling chords and undeniably trippy, looped melody lines. The standout track is arguably "Suborbital Trajecteries", which combines spacey, rising and falling synthesizer motifs with beefed-up, tropical-influenced techno drums and sweaty, constantly building percussion fills. The deeper and dub influenced closing track, "Eccentricity", is also quietly impressive.
This is Kaspar's second release on Pets having also put out material recently for Upon You and Kompakt's Exklusiv offshoot. Like Pets' owners, Catz N'Dogz, Kaspar mines a freestyle form of minimal house and techno. This is most audible on "Strout". The bass lunges and lurches unpredictably, there are blasts and bursts of atonal noise and a rickety percussive accompaniment that holds the arrangement together. He adopts a far different approach on "Roundhouse"; closer in sound to late 90s party techno, it centers on a rolling rhythm, larger than life horn stabs and the kind of rolling snares that are the polar opposite of glum minimalism.
The inlay art on this release says it all. Featuring a female face peeking through clouds and a blissed out heavenly body floating above her, it mimics the early utopian states imagined on early 90s dance music covers. The accompanying music also wears its influences openly. Daze, an Australian producer, previously released a trio of records for Lobster Theremin, but for this outing ditches much of the gritty tape noise that he had shrouded his previous work in. The title track is all wide-eyed synths and hyper-speed jungle breaks while on "Centuries Later" he slows down the pace to emulate Nexus 21 and Detroit techno. However, the main narrative on this release is the pre-jungle period and as "Xx" shows, Daze manages to capture the mixture of musical depth and high-speed rhythms that defined that period.
Matrixxman has spent much of his career collaborating with others, primarily like-minded producer Vin Sol. Here, he switches focus, joining forces with Beat Pharmacy man Brendon "Echologist" Moeller to deliver an eight-track assault of late night techno excursions. Hugely atmospheric - a by-product of both their selected sounds, and the trippy way in which the collection has been mixed down - the double-pack features acid-flecked hypnotism, balls-out early morning stompers, dubbed-out rollers, L.I.E.S style industrial crustiness, and the kind of gently psychedelic fare that would once have been described as "intelligent techno". In other words, the Black & White EP is a rock solid collection of dancefloor-ready techno cuts that touches on a variety of moods and sub-genres.
Danish producer Henrik Koefod aka Erosion Flowis still only in his early twenties but has already reached a very high standard. Spotting his talent 3024 owner Martyn snapped up an EP from him last year and now follows it with a second "Spectrums" instalment. On "Better Way" the tempo is slowed right down to provide backing for an angelic vocal but in the main Volume 2 is all about the dance floor. He taps into the chord-heavy sound of 90s techno for the fist-pumping "Eclipse" while on "Syvv" a more stepping rhythm prevails underpinning a spine-tingling synth melody reminiscent of Slam's Positive Education.
On their previous releases for the likes of Pinkman and Clone Royal Oak, Antenna has proved adept at delivering atmospheric, analogue-rich deep house and dusty basement tracks. As fine of these EPs were, none were anywhere as picturesque and saucer-eyed as this four-track outing on Beats In Space. Sure, the Dream 2 Science influences remain on the dreamy "Primavera May", and "Before I Fall Asleep", but the classic New Jersey deep house sounds are also accompanied by Kate Bush style improvised vocals, glistening melodies and breezy chords. Those wanting a little more low-slung basement grunt should head for the icy but acid-flecked fuzziness of "Primavera April", while closer "Acceptance Snow" is perfect for those who like their house ultra-deep and ambient-influenced.
The sixth split release on Tommy Four Seven's label is a diverse affair and reflects the across the board soundtrack of the Berlin night of the same name. 47006 starts with Headless Horseman's "At The Gates" a rumbling slice of stepping rhythms shot through with understated menace. Pushing up the tempo is Phase Fatale's "Under Marble" where cyber punk industrial collides with a pulsing groove. Straight after that Stephanie Sykes throws a curve ball with the hypnotic dub of "Sakura" while the label owner retreats to the shadows. Inhabiting the same space as the mysterious Headless Horsemen "Bactria" is a noisy grunge techno stepper
Icelandic techno upstart presents his first full length album on Nina Kraviz' Trip label, the very label which presented this rapidly successful producer's style to the electronic music community in the first place. The Lefhanded Fuqs LP showcases many diverse sides to this producer, proving that he can perfect much more than your standard peak time techno DJ tools. The album presents a wide spectrum of sounds, from the slamming electro funk of the dynamic opener "Fimm Atta Atta Fimm Fimm Tveir Tveir", experimental hip-hop like on "+4531704090 2", fiercely cerebral IDM that takes its queues from Aphex Twin ("2366262lhkjdgh"/"Ghentleman Render 2") and of course some noisy and adrenalised techno bangers like on "Gory Ryebread" or "Basketball Smile (Bbbbbb mix)".
Igarashi is a significant name in his native Japan, but his star is only beginning to ascend in the West. This was thanks initially to a release on Peter Van Hoesen's label and now this record on New York club The Bunker's in-house imprint. Suffice to say that Igarashi is fully deserving of the hype. "Part 1" is led by spiky 808s and a pulsing, lithe rhythm, while on "Part 2" he goes farther down the wormhole. Led by translucent trance stabs, it sees Igarashi mine the same hypnotic techno path as Mike Parker. The third part is more pulsing and less frosty but on the fourth and final "Machine" he vanishes back down the frazzled tonal path he first explored on "Part 2".
It's been a long time between drinks for Victor Eich. Sugar appears three long years after his debut EP, the atmospheric Downtown Beat on Thirteen Moons Recordings. "Sugar" is something of an epic: a ten-minute chunk of woozy, bass-heavy deep house laden with fluid electronic motifs, weary vocal samples and, as the track progresses, psychedelic TB-303 acid lines. The original version is accompanied by two contrasting remixes. Joseph Terruel abandons his slo-mo house past in favour of a hypnotic, locked-in, tech-tinged dancefloor stomper, while Eich delivers his own alternate take - the looser, deeper and exceptionally atmospheric Ain't Always Sweet Mix.
Any new material from Luke Slater under the Planetary Assault Systems alias is something to celebrate, but rarely has the techno veteran dropped such an expansive set as Arc Angel. Boasting a positively overwhelming 20 tracks over three weighty slabs of vinyl, the first PAS album for five years is as spacey, hypnotic and intoxicating as anything in the British techno legend's vast catalogue. While mostly focused on atmospheric, Motor City influenced dancefloor futurism - and, let's face it, few do that better than Slater - Arc Angel also boasts a handful of inspired ambient cuts, some vintage, UK style "intelligent techno", and occasional nods towards UK contemporaries such as Surgeon, James Ruskin, Mark Broom and Oliver Ho.
London-based electronic artist Karen Gwyer has kept on impressing us over the last four years. With releases for labels like No Pain In Pop, Kaleidoscope, and Nous, Semtek's Don't Be Afraid seems like a natural fit to her improvisational take on techno. "Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase" is a stunner, a nine minutes' techno journey that's spans the whole length over nine minutes with its loose, aqueous groove barely held in place by raw, analog drum programming. "And Again Those Eyes" sees the artist return to more familiar territories thanks to a broken sway of beats and melodics, whereas "Meiosis Gametes" is a harsh, menacing techno swing with an electrifying buzz running through its groove. Solid, as per usual. This material comes hotly recommended. She's one to watch out for in 2016 and beyond.
San Francisco's Taraval return for Four Tet's Text label. Starting out with the soulful, summery and dusty groove of "Where's Leon" which sounds like an epic live jam recorded in one take, they then get stuck into the relentless stomper "Texler Acid" where that silver Roland box squeals away gloriously atop of a gutsy 808 rhythm and gradually builds in epic mayhem; loved this one! To close out this great EP is the jagged broken beat experiment of "Opal Cliffs" with its soaring dubby chords and rapid fire clap attacks working up to a glorious crescendo.

The Global Combat Ship (GCS) is a ship design and construction programme of the Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom, to partially replace the thirteen Type 23 frigates of the Royal Navy and for export.[12] The Royal Navy variant is known as the Type 26 frigate and is principally designed for anti-submarine warfare, featuring an acoustically quiet hull and the powerful Sonar 2087 towed array.
The programme began in 1998, under what was then known as the Future Surface Combatant (FSC). However, by March 2010, this procurement programme had evolved to become the Global Combat Ship, following the announcement of a four-year, £127 million design contract being awarded to BAE Systems Maritime – Naval Ships.[13] The design passed Main Gate 1 in early 2015, with Demonstration Phase starting 1 April 2015. In August 2015 the first long lead items for Type 26 were ordered, with manufacturing expected to begin in 2016 and the first Type 26 to be delivered in 2023.[14]
Future Surface Combatant[edit]
The Global Combat Ship started development under the original Future Surface Combatant (FSC) programme intended to replace the Royal Navy's Type 22 and Type 23 frigates. Planning for a replacement escort vessel started in 1998 with the ordering of a research vessel, the RV Triton, to study whether a trimaran design was practical for such a large and complex vessel. However, by the early 2000s it was apparently obvious the Royal Navy favoured more conventional designs. In March 2005, plans were released for a two-class solution, a cheaper "Medium Sized Vessel Derivative" entering service in 2016–19 and a more capable "Versatile Surface Combatant" entering service around 2023.[15]
In early 2006 the MoD started a Sustained Surface Combatant Capability (S2C2) programme which explored synergies between the FSC and other needs, for minesweepers, patrol ships and survey ships. By early 2007 this had crystallised into the three requirements; C1, C2 and C3. The C1 was to be an anti-submarine warfare task group enabled platform and would displace around 6,000 tonnes. C2 was to be a more general purpose platform displacing somewhere in the region of 4-5,000 tonnes, and C3 was to be a Global Corvette to replace a larger number of smaller vessels in service, such as minesweepers, patrol and survey ships. The Global Corvette was to displace around 2-3,000 tonnes.[16] The C3 concept found its roots in early 2004 when the MoD issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a smaller class of ship known as the Global Corvette. Low running costs and the ability to operate forward in shallow, coastal areas where larger ships cannot, were both important. BAE Systems, VT Group, Thales and Rolls-Royce responded in autumn 2004 with concepts ranging from a well equipped Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) of 1,500 tonnes to an advanced and very capable "corvette" of 3,000 tonnes, along the lines of the USN's Littoral Combat Ship programme (LCS).
The FSC concept was brought forward in the 2008 budget, at the expense of options for two Type 45 destroyers not being taken up (ships 7 and 8).[17] In 2009 BAE Systems received a contract to design the C1 and C2 frigates with a planned 25-year life. A total of 18 vessels (10 C1 and 8 C2) were planned to enter service from 2020, at a pace of roughly one per year.[18] In early 2010 the C3 variant was dropped in favour of the Mine Countermeasures, Hydrography and Patrol Capability (MHPC) programme.
Global Combat Ship[edit]
Official mention of the Future Surface Combatant had all but disappeared by 2010, and on 25 March of that year BAE Systems were given a four-year, £127 million contract by the Ministry of Defence to fully design a new class of warship, the "Global Combat Ship", previously C1 of the FSC. Expectations at the time were for the first ship to be "in service" by 2021.[19][20] The October 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) reaffirmed the government's commitment to the Global Combat Ship, saying; "As soon as possible after 2020 the Type 23 will be replaced by Type 26 frigates, designed to be easily adapted to change roles and capabilities depending on the strategic circumstances".[21] As part of the defence review it was also announced that the remaining Type 22 frigates would be decommissioned without replacement, reducing the Royal Navy's escort fleet from 23 destroyers and frigates to 19 (6 Type 45 destroyers and 13 Type 23 frigates).[21]
BAE's original working baseline for the Global Combat Ship design was a vessel 141 metres long with a displacement of 6,850 tonnes and a range of 7,000 nautical miles at 18 knots.[22] However, on 30 November 2010 it was reported that the specifications had been pared down, in effort to reduce the cost from £500M to £250-350M per ship. Subsequently, new specification details began to emerge of a smaller 5,400 tonne ship emphasising flexibility and modularity.[23] Unlike the FSC, the Global Combat Ship has only one hull design. However like the Franco-Italian family of FREMM multipurpose frigates, three versions are proposed for export: a design optimised for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), an anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) variant, and a general purpose (GP) variant.[24][25]
Although a decision was made in November of 2010 to reduce the specifications and capability requirements of the Global Combat Ship design, BAE's design concepts by 2014 had returned to their original working baseline of a large 6,900 tonne warship.[4] In February 2015, the MoD and BAE Systems signed a contract worth £859 million to continue the development phase and to support progression towards the manufacturing phase.[26] In September 2015, the programme cost was estimated at £11.5 billion, for what was then assumed to be for 13 Global Combat Ship.[27]
Possible partnerships[edit]
The Global Combat Ship has been designed from the onset with export in mind. In September 2010, the British and Brazilian governments reached a defence agreement, including the potential sale of five or six Global Combat Ships to the Brazilian Navy.[28] The following month, BAE Systems formally made a detailed proposal to the Brazilian Navy, for a package including the Global Combat Ship as well as variants of the Wave Knight-class tanker and River-class patrol vessel.[29]
During a House of Commons debate on 31 January 2011, it was revealed that Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Turkey had all expressed interest in collaborating on the Global Combat Ship, and that the UK was in "close discussion" with Canada.[30] However, a Canadian union campaigned that the Global Combat Ship threatened Canadian shipbuilders, and in the run-up to the May 2011 election a spokesman for the Canadian Defence Minister ruled out involvement with the British programme.[31] Turkey also later rejected the design in 2012 as not meeting its requirements.[32] Although Canada had previously ruled out partnership with the British programme, in May 2016 IHS Janes reported that the Global Combat Ship was still one of the contenders for the Canadian Surface Combatant requirement.[33]
In August 2011, the British government, together with BAE Systems, was considering entering into partnership with the Indian MoD and private defence shipyards in India to jointly design and construct the Global Combat Ship.[34]
The governments of the United Kingdom and Australia had previously been exploring the potential for cooperation on the C1 and C3 designs of the Future Surface Combatant, which corresponded closely to the Royal Australian Navy's requirements in replacing its Anzac-class frigates with a new class of frigate.[35] The two countries signed a defence cooperation treaty in January 2013 and Australia pledged cooperation on the Global Combat Ship design in order to investigate its suitability for their own procurement programme.[36] In April 2016, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed that the Global Combat Ship was one of three designs shortlisted for the replacement of Anzac-class frigates.[37]
In July 2015, Defense News reported that the German government may invite BAE to submit the Global Combat Ship design as part of a tender for the German Navy's multirole combat ship MKS180 programme. Other European ship builders may also submit bids and compete with German companies for the contract.[38]
Global Combat Ship is designed with modularity and flexibility in mind to enhance versatility across the full range of operations, including maritime security, counter piracy, counter terrorist and humanitarian and disaster relief operations. As of 2016, BAE's website suggests a displacement of 6,900 tonnes, a length of 149.9 metres, a beam of 20.8 metres and a top speed in excess of 26 knots (48 km/h). Global Combat Ship will have a core crew of 118 with room for a total of 208.[4] Global Combat Ship is designed for up to 60 days' endurance and a range of approximately 7,000 nautical miles (13,000 km).[4] Located at the stern are facilities allowing for the deployment of rigid-hulled inflatable boats, unmanned surface vehicles or a towed array sonar.[39] A large Integrated Mission Bay and Hanger is located amidship, enabling a variety of missions and associated equipment.[4] Aircraft similar in size to the Boeing Chinook can be flown off the large flight deck, and the hangar can accommodate up to two helicopters the size of a Wildcat or Merlin.[40] The hangar also has space to accommodate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
The Royal Navy's version of the Global Combat Ship is referred to as the Type 26 frigate. This variant will be equipped with the Type 997 Artisan 3D search radar and Sea Ceptor (CAMM) air-defence missiles launched via 48 VLS canisters. An additional 24-cell Mark 41 "strike-length VLS" is positioned forward of the bridge capable of firing missiles such as the Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile, a future anti-ship missile, or quad packed Sea Ceptor missiles.[7] Like the Type 23 frigate it will replace, Global Combat Ship will have an acoustically quiet hull for anti-submarine warfare and fitted with a Thales Underwater Systems Type 2050 bow sonar and a powerful Sonar 2087 towed array.[41] Global Combat Ship will also be fitted with guns of various calibres. Instead of the RN's current 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun, Global Combat Ship is expected to be equipped with a NATO-standard BAE 5 inch Mark 45 naval gun. Smaller guns include two Phalanx CIWS, two 30mm DS30M Mark 2 Automated Small Calibre Guns and a number of miniguns and general-purpose machine guns.[42]
The propulsion system of the RN ships will have a gas turbine direct drive and four high speed diesel generators driving two electric motors in a CODLOG configuration.[7][43] In 2012 Rolls Royce repackaged the MT30 used in the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers so that it would fit into smaller ships,[44] and it is likely Global Combat Ship will use the MT30. BAE have suggested that some customers will install gas turbine engines and others will prefer to sacrifice 2–3 knots of speed by choosing cheaper diesel engines.[23] The choice of CODLOG configuration for propulsion is somewhat surprising as it is a simpler version of the CODLAG propulsion used on the Type 23 which this ship is to replace, and both of the Global Combat Ship's design contemporaries – the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier and the Type 45 destroyer – use integrated electric propulsion (IEP).
Ships of the class[edit]
The original planning assumption for the Royal Navy was for thirteen Global Combat Ships (eight ASW and five GP), replacing the Type 23 frigate fleet like-for-like.[45][46] However, it was later announced during the November 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review by Prime minister David Cameron that only the eight anti-submarine warfare Type 26 frigates would be ordered. The funding for the remaining five general purpose Type 26 frigates is instead to be spent on developing a new class of lighter and more affordable general purpose frigates (GPFF).[47] Due to an expected lower cost, the government suggested it may allow an eventual increase in the total number of frigates in the Royal Navy.[47] This general purpose frigate will be designated as the Type 31 frigate.[48] In July 2016, BAE revealed two general purpose frigate designs to meet the requirement; the Avenger-class and the Cutlass-class.[49]
During 2014, a campaign emerged to name one of the ships HMS Plymouth, although Royal Navy ship names are formed via the Ships' Names and Badges Committee.[50]

How to Apply
Apply on UCAS's site
Key features of the courses are:
- Education Studies at Bath Spa University is rated highly by students, with 91% satisfaction with teaching in the 2010-11 National Student Survey
- All our awards are very flexible and can be tailored to your personal interests and ambitions
- You will be able to choose from more than 45 modules which explore a wide range of subjects and issues
- All modules are taught by experienced and respected staff
- You will be able to take a placement in a school or other educational setting in each year of your programme
- You will have the opportunity to study overseas in each year of your programme
- You will be able to apply (in year three) to stay with us to take a PGCE primary or secondary : OfSTED has rated our teacher education courses as 'outstanding' in 2011
Education Studies will give you an in-depth understanding of the world of formal and informal education in the UK and around the world. Education depends on an essentially optimistic view: that through learning we can change the world for the better.
Why study Education Studies?
There are a number of options available for studying Education at Bath Spa University.
Single honours awards in Education Studies are ideal for students who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the world of education and education around the world. Four single honours awards are available:
- Education Studies
- Early Years Education
- International Education
- Youth and Community Studies
It is also possible to combine Education with another subject in our modular programme to achieve a joint honours degree.
- Education Studies: Combined Awards
See the Course Structure tab for more information.
Please be aware that the above degrees do not lead to a reserved place on a PGCE Primary course, although you may apply for a place on our PGCE in year three.
If you choose to study for the Combined Award, please be aware that there is a separate Student Handbook.
Course structure
Education is a large subject at Bath Spa University so we are able to offer you various study options:
1. Education Studies (Single Honours award) (UCAS Code: X300)
Education Studies will give you an in-depth understanding of formal and informal education.
2. International Education (Single Honours award) (UCAS Code: X392)
These routes allow you to concentrate your study on either Education or International Education, but in your first year you will be able to take two modules from a selection of other modules related to your subject. This gives you a broader outlook on Education and its many related topics.
These routes are for those of you who are interested in the study of education but not yet certain about the professional route you are interested in developing beyond your degree.
If, however, you know at this stage that you would like to study a second subject alongside Education for all three years of your course (perhaps because your goal is to become a secondary teacher of that subject) you should look at Option 5 below – Education as part of a Combined Award.
You can also choose from two courses that are more directly linked to possible employment options;
3. Early Years Education (a specialised award) (UCAS Code: X312)
4. Youth and Community Studies (a specialised award) (UCAS Code: L590)
These awards offer you opportunities to both follow your academic programme and engage directly with professional practice in the relevant field which may give you an additional vocational qualification. You have a wide range of modules to choose from, but your module choices will be directly related to the specialism you have chosen (either Early Years or Youth and Community work) in order to prepare you for careers in these professions. There will be some core modules which you must follow on both these Specialised Awards which will be linked to possible professional occupations in either Early Years or Youth and Community. There will be opportunities to undertake some professional practice in your area of interest and your third year dissertation will be linked to your degree focus. As part of the Early Years Education specialised award, you will have the opportunity to gain a professional accreditation certificate in Childcare, Development and Learning.
5. Education as part of a Combined Award (with a second subject)
This option allows you to choose two subjects for all of your degree by taking two subjects throughout your three years and you can choose from a wide range of modules in both subjects. It is a suitable route for students who may wish to progress to a career as a teacher in a secondary school (for this you would need to apply to start a Secondary PGCE once you have completed your degree).
Whichever route you decide on there's a wide range of relevant modules for you to choose from, along with some compulsory modules.
In Year 1, core modules introduce key concepts and skills that underpin the subject as well as modules in, for example: learning through life, early years education, adolescence, primary schools and education in Europe.
In Years 2 and 3 you will consider more deeply the current issues in education and how they relate to your particular course. You will think critically about teaching, diversity, inclusion, social and educational policy and explore global and international perspectives in education. There are opportunities to carry out original research and pursue your own interests in these areas.
There are also modules which give you the chance to work in schools and other educational contexts including early years settings and youth and community contexts where you can develop your understanding of the nature of children and young people's development and teaching and learning.
Sample modules Include:
- Education for Change
- How Young Children Learn
- Young People's Sub-cultures
- International Perspectives on Education
Please note that if you know at this stage that you want to be a primary teacher you should apply to our specialised course which offers you a route to a teaching qualification. This is known as our '3+1' course because it is four years in length in total – three years for the undergraduate degree element and one year for the postgraduate PGCE element.
Course assessment
You will be assessed through course work submitted during modules. Course work includes essays, group presentations, research-based reports and portfolio-based work. We will provide you with prompt feedback on how well you are doing and give you regular guidance on how to improve your skills, knowledge and understanding. There are no examinations in Education Studies.
Bath Spa is a leading university in the field of Education Studies, and you'll be taught by a very experienced and well qualified team of more than 50 tutors with different backgrounds as qualified teachers, academics, authors and researchers. At Bath Spa we believe in helping you understand the difficulties experienced by many children and young people for whom access to good formal and informal education is sometimes difficult. You'll gain the knowledge, critical understanding and skills needed to explore the nature and functions of education in a rapidly changing world, and prepare for a range of professional employment.
As well as offering you an exciting undergraduate programme we also have full-time and part-time higher degrees which build on your undergraduate course and support you in professional development that will equip you to compete more effectively within the labour market. We have a flexible Education Studies Masters programme which allows you to develop further the focus of your undergraduate degree and includes modules such as Social and Education Policy, Education and Globalisation, Early Childhood Education, Work Based Professional Practice and Youth in the Community. From the moment you begin your undergraduate programme we will encourage you to think of yourself as maximising your opportunities by thinking of postgraduate options that will support your particular employment interests.
Whatever route you decide is right for you, we offer you the opportunity to become a committed, caring and creative professional- able to "make a difference".
Teaching methods
Teaching is through a mix of lectures (50 minutes), seminars and individual tutorials. Seminars are usually more informal than lectures - they are opportunities for you to discuss, ask questions and get involved in activities and debates. In year one your minimum timetabled time will be 12 hrs per week. All modules are led by experienced and respected university staff. Many staff are active researchers and authors in the field of education studies - in years two and three they will introduce you to their particular specialisms and research interests through a range of optional modules. We also have regular visiting speakers - these include headteachers, educational advisers, specialist researchers and international visitors.
Placements occur in each year of the programme. In year two there is a compulsory placement in an educational setting or school. Optional modules provide further placement opportunities for you to work with young people both locally and internationally. The School of Education Partnership Office will arrange each placement for you. We try to ensure you are located within a reasonable distance from where you live; however, you should normally expect to travel using your own or public transport.

Entry requirements
260–300 UCAS Tariff points.
Career opportunities
Education Studies will provide the basis for you to work with learners – young people and older people – in different organisations: children's centres, youth organisations and community organisations. You may choose to work in educational and training advisory roles in a range of organisations including community organisations, youth clubs, businesses, local authorities, non-government organisations, museums, art galleries and libraries.
You will also be able to apply for PGCE courses in teacher training – but if you know at this stage that you want to be a primary teacher you should consider our specialised '3+1' course.
If you think you would like to work in early years' settings or youth and community organisations you should apply for the specialised awards in these areas. This will ensure you undertake placements relevant to your course and have specialised modules that you must follow to ensure the right experiences and knowledge to help you work in these fields.
As well as going on to study for the PGCE our graduates have been recruited by Notts Trent International College, Explore Learning, the NHS and many schools and Local Authorities working in Educational roles such as tutors, trainers and Higher Level Teaching Assistants.
What students say...
Student Profile: Kia Prescott, International Education
"The course has made me question all of my opinions I held before. Studying International Education has given me a better knowledge of geography, countries, cultures, global issues, politics and world history, all of which has given me a wider base and has helped in all my modules. This year there is a study trip to Zambia for students on the international module, and it will be the perfect opportunity to gain first-hand experience of education abroad.
Although the majority on the course want to be teachers it is understood that there are some who don't, and this is catered for. I have a great interest in other countries and cultures, and I have not completely decided if I want to teach abroad yet – but Bath Spa are enabling me to keep my options open."
The media is all-pervasive. It affects, influences, reflects and analyses ever aspect of our lives.
Media Communications explores and asks fundamental questions about media, its organisation, representations, audiences and impacts and influences.
Why study Media Communications?

This will involve you in examining issues such as media technologies, media influence, media ownership and regulatory issues, globalisation, media representation and media effects, together with some practical media-making work involving social networking tools.
The core module will also introduce you to some of the key methods in media research through a series of case studies including war journalism, TV audiences, news reporting, soap operas and news interviews. In addition to the core module students in the first year can take modules on television, popular media culture, digital skills and media history.
In Years 2 and 3 you'll explore issues of media power and the everyday, examining for example the influence of media messages and the ways media are embedded in the daily lives of audiences. Other modules look at the UK magazine industry, popular music cultures and media cultures of stardom and celebrity. In the third year you will undertake the study of media audiences, together with elective modules in gender and film, media technology, computer and video games and the central role that they play in our leisure time, community media, and the reporting of panics, disasters and terrorism.

What students say...
Amy Tuckwell, Media Communications, graduated 2010:
"My time as a Media student at Bath Spa University was really the best three years of my life. Not only is it a beautiful campus, it is bursting with some of the most talented lecturers in their field. I moulded by goals and career plans at Bath Spa with the guidance and encouragement of the Media Department and I am indebted to them for that. I'm now a Production Manager Assistant at the BBC just two years after graduating and I'm proud to say that I honed my craft at Bath Spa."
Student statement in the National Student Survey 2012:
"The lecturing was absolutely fantastic. Having a team who were passionate about each of their sectors within the media industry really helped when studying."

Raiding underway!
Yet again another new wow expansion is almost on our doorstep and yet again we find ourselves reflecting on the good and the bad of the previous.
For our guild Warlords of Draenor was a game changer, after almost 7 years of raiding we moved from our foundation of casual 10 man raiding to a larger 20 man mythic guild. We had many plans and expectations in place for WoD some of which we achieved and others we were pretty far off the mark from. Finally after what we will all agree was a very testing xpac we can now focus on the future.
In Legion our intention is to steer our guild back to our values of our 10 man days, dont panic tho! this doesnt mean we will be leaving 20 man raiding behind us. We will not be setting raiding goals and what we 'should' be achieving, instead we will get back to building a raid team to progress as far as we can, we want to be able to say each tier that we gave it 100% regardless of what we achieved, if we can do that then we can finish a tier happy just like in xpacs gone by.
Our mythic raid team will continue its focus of recruiting high attendance/loyal/patient members, players who make a raid team enjoyable for the majority, players who are willing to step in and help others out, the type of people that make you want to log on in the evening and spend 3 hours playing games with!
We want to target our social memberbase again just like we did successfully in MoP. We are aiming to establish a social raid team once again allowing a mixture of social members and raiders alike to have a chance to get together and enjoy the raiding content legion has to offer, along with other things too, achievements are never going away!
I personally have found the last 12 months the hardest and most stressful of the almost 8 years I have ran this guild and I would be lying if I hadnt questioned my place in the game anymore. The one thing that has kept me going as it has in the past is our guild and the members in it, they are the reason that made me want to log on every evening. I now intend to use the new content as a way of strengthening our guild and finding the love I had for the game before warlords of draenor.
Legion gives us all a chance to reshape not just our guild but our own enjoyment in wow and I encourage everyone to take it!
See you in game soon!
A massive effort from the team with more wipes than ever before on one encounter in the history of our guild. Persistance and dedication has been rewarded with Mythic completion this evening.
Onwards to Legion for the next chapter in WITB's History.
The Roll call is as follows of those who attended the kill and those who contributed yet couldnt be there -
Anci, Astrex, Auyl, Bionic, Danapele, Depsi, Dewkr, Druvila, Graciously, Gunzerker, Honith, Insane, Kesandri, Neubia, Monkeyheart, Pixisham, Qwack, Rejuvenation, Sagira, Shadylane, Shandié, Tap, Tib, Vailet, Zhudar
Mannoroth finally dead after more wipes than we care to mention!
The end of the tier is in sight just the minor detail that is archimonde stands in the way.

BO 0253/S/Q8G/BQ Ophthalmic Glasses
BO 0253/S is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The BO 0253/S is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Boss Orange collections 2015 and 2016.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The BO 0253/S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The bold colour blue is the perfect choice for self-confident personalities. With this colour you quickly become the centre of attention. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
Even if this Boss Orange is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

All the Pretty Horses
- Studio: Miramax Films
- Release Date: Dec 25, 2000
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The movie's greatest liability is the familiarity of the material, much parodied since the glory days of John Ford. Unfortunately, Thornton's love for its iconography doesn't quite bring it to life.
All the Pretty Horses may end up being a good movie to watch on DVD, when all the footage is restored and we can see the subtle shadings Thornton jettisoned.
A movie of arresting pieces that don't harmonize into a satisfying whole.
A botched effort. Not necessarily bad, but hardly compelling either.
A half-broken adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's great modern Western novel. Neither dull nor exciting.
As this year's literary adaptations go, Horses comes a lot closer to being a truly bad movie than "The Perfect Storm" did, yet it would be hard to argue that the two are not the year's most disappointing in terms of trampled hopes.
It's like a tantalizing CliffsNotes version of what could have been.
It doesn't help that Damon and Cruz fail to generate sparks or that the second half of the film, in which John and Lacey face hell in a Mexican prison, feels bluntly edited to fit a two-hour running time.
Never really gets out of the starting gate.
It all feels disorienting and truncated, as if the script, by Ted Tally, who also adapted "Silence of the Lambs," was a harried summary of the book.
It limps, not gallops, across the screen for what seems an interminable stretch of time and leaves the viewer with precious little to show for the experience.

Well acted by Matt Damon and Henry Thomas, but felt likeJust a tad long, but overall a great story, and the scenery is way over the top. Well acted by Matt Damon and Henry Thomas, but felt like Lucas Black stole the movie. Felt like a throwback to the old westerns even though the set took place in the 40's, and a well written script to go with it. Billy Bob Thornton does a great job of directing and piecing it all together. Well worth watching and taking the time as the scenery itself is well worth the journey!!… Full Review »

We are FINALLY getting sleep in this house! After 5 months of fighting with Rory I just gave up trying to get him to sleep in his crib all together. Every night I lay down in our bed with him, he nurses and snuggles for about a 1/2 hour and by about 8:30 he's out. I get up, go downstairs and go to bed at my usual time between 10 and 11. He hardly stirs when I go to bed. He wakes a couple times in the night to eat but doesn't fuss or cry. When I was trying to get him down in his crib we spent so much time fighting to get him down he'd get over tired and then fight all night long even in our bed -- keeping us all up.
It is all such a HUGE relief. I still don't love co sleeping but I've simply accepted that he just needs it right now. We were fighting for hours every night to get a couple hours of him sleeping in his crib. It was awful and only getting worse not better. Now every night is peaceful. Why didn't I do this sooner? Sometimes I need to just be more flexible!
How is sleep going for everyone else?

Blu-ray Review: Emmy Award-Winning Season of ABC Hit 'Modern Family'Submitted by BrianTT on September 25, 2012 - 6:44pm
CHICAGO – In the days since this year's Emmys, I've been probably asked this question more than any other — "Do you think Modern Family is the best comedy on TV?" The answer is an undeniable no. But I usually add the disclaimer that this doesn't mean it's not a good show. It may not have been the best choice for the 2011-12 season (that would be "Louie," "Girls," "Parks and Recreation," "Veep," or "Community") but it also wasn't the worst.

Blu-Ray Review: Brilliant 'Modern Family' Stands Out in HDSubmitted by BrianTT on September 28, 2010 - 2:29pm
CHICAGO – "Modern Family" is the funniest comedy on television. The winner of the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series (over highly-acclaimed programs including "Glee," "30 Rock," "The Office," and more) and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Eric Stonestreet) is now available on Blu-ray and DVD and not only is it a program that everyone should see at least once but, like the greatest sitcoms, it holds up remarkably well to repeat viewing.
TV Review: Talented Ensemble Drives ABC's 'Modern Family'Submitted by BrianTT on September 23, 2009 - 2:06pm
CHICAGO – The highlight of tonight's debuting shows on ABC is one of the most promising new comedy pilots of the season, the multi-layered "Modern Family," a sitcom that both skewers the conventions of the typical TV family show and lovingly embraces them at the same time.
