Kewell content to continue

Harry Kewell's agent says that the star has no intention of leaving Liverpool.Harry Kewell's agent says that the Australian star has no intention of leaving Liverpool.
Kewell has experienced a desperately disappointing season as he has continually struggled with injury over the course of the past nine months.
His season reached its nadir when he was jeered by Liverpool fans after withdrawing from the early stages of the UEFA Champions League final against Milan.
After also being accused of faking his injuries the former Leeds star has had a campaign to forget, although is apparently content to continue to prove himself at Anfield.
Since his transfer in 2003 the 26-year-old has failed to make an impression with The Reds, although his agent Bernie Mandic insists that his client is keen to continue under the stewardship of Rafa Benitez - who masterminded the European Cup victory.
"As you saw last week he is with the greatest manager in the world so of course he doesn't want to go," said Mandic.
"He spent his life getting to Liverpool so why would he want to leave?"
Meanwhile Djimi Traore, one of the unlikely heroes of the triumph, is reportedly set to extend his contract with Liverpool after a remarkable turnaround in his fortunes.
The defender could have moved to city rivals Everton last summer, although discarded his unconvincing early season displays to figure more prominently in Benitez's starting XI.
After establishing his place in the side the 25-year-old is now reputedly close to agreeing a new four-year deal at Anfield.

On Saturday evening a situation arose in which drill fluid was lost as a new well was being drilled on Snorre A, in the Tampen area of the North Sea.
While it was possible to quickly reduce the loss of drill fluid to the reservoir, adverse weather conditions created some uncertainty as to when a vessel might get out to the platform with a new supply of drill fluid. As a purely preventive measure, 117 out of a total 254 platform personnel were transferred to Gullfaks A and Gullfaks C.
The well in question is being cemented and closed. Once this task has been completed, and new drill fluid has been received on board, the personnel will return to Snorre A.

El Uno Picotear (単鳥嘴踋 (エル・ウノ・ピコテアル), eru uno pikotearu; Spanish for "The One Pecking", Japanese for "Single Bird Beak Skid")[1] is a technique used by Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio in his Resurrección, Giralda.
With any of the kicks made in his released form, Dordoni can direct the respective bird-like extension, which juts outward from either of the cyclones adjacent to him, in order to execute long-range attacks.[2] The dispatched beak is sent out with tremendous force and mimics the prior motion of Dordoni's leg, drawing with it the wind from the cyclone.[1] In addition to a single peck being able to shatter the floor of Tres Cifras, an opponent can be restrained and positioned within the beak so as to be rendered vulnerable to further attacks.[3]
Despite their considerable offensive power, these extensions are not especially durable.[4] However, they can be easily regenerated, regardless of the amount of damage they receive.[5]

As we all know, the development of battery technique is always not in the same pace of the development of mobile phone technology, and many people thought that mobile phone battery might be the biggest obstacle to mobile phone innovation. Even the phone manufacturers have tried to solve the battery problem by some external technique, like quick charge or wireless charge. But nothing can make customers be happier without a real biggest battery. And recently, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, OUKITEL released their latest biggest battery 4G smartphone – OUKITEL K10000 with a battery of 10000mAh capacity, the world's largest battery at present.
biggest battery is absolutely an eye-catching point of OUKITEL K10000, not only for customers who want to buy it for personal use, but also for global purchasers who are finding good and unique smartphones for their own companies to relabel with their brand logo. So following is the review of this biggest battery phone and recommended smartphones that have relatively large battery capacity.
biggest battery
OUKITEL K10000 has a big 10000mAh battery, and it is said that the phone can last up to 10 – 15 days for regular use. But battery size isn't the only thing working in the smartphone's favor when it comes to battery life. OUKITEL K10000 employs top level flash-charge chipset in the charger and unique pump-express flash charging technology. According to the China manufacturer, the phone can be charged the 10000mAh battery within 3.5 hours, a really good charge way among most Chinese OEM smartphones.
Quad-core Processor
OUKITEL K10000 houses a 1 GHz quad-core processor powered by MediaTek, MT6735, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card. It supports duals SIM dual standby, one is Micro SIM card slot alone, another Micro card slot can also be used as a TF card slot.
The MT6735 processor supports WorldMode 4G LTE, so OUKITEL K10000 has a wide 4G networks coverage: FDD-LTE band 1/3/7/20 (800/1800/2100/2600 MHz).
Unique Design
OUKITEL K10000 features a 5.5-inch display with 720p resolution and the screen uses IPS technology, a popular technology used in many Chinese OEM smartphones. The design of OUKITEL K10000 is really unique. It has hexa-faceted edges for middle frame, which is made to be curved as well as angular, being comfortable to grip. And the full steel frame gives the phone not only a better looking but also a good drop-resistance.
The full specifications of OUKITEL K10000 list as below:
MediaTek MT6735 64bit quad core 1GHz
5.5 inch HD IPS screen, unique curved design
8 MP (rear) + 2 MP (front)
Housing Technology
Metal frame
Dimensions (mm)
10000mAh, biggest battery in the world now
Android 5.1 Lollipop
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
Actually, there are many other big battery smartphones that are available for relabeling as your own phone from China OEM manufacturers, even they don't have as biggest battery as OUKITEL K10000, but worthy consideration for global buyers.
M8000 OEM phone is the first and best recommendation, it is also a big battery 4G smartphone with 4165mAh battery, though it is not as big as OUKITEL K10000, this smartphone supports quick charge technology and has many splendid features as well. M8000 features a 5.5 inch Full HD IPS screen using Capacitive touch screen technology, and sports an octa-core processor powered by MediaTek, MT6753, clocked at 1.3GHz. It also supports wide range 4G networks, not just for Europe countries of band 3/7/20 (800/1800/2600 MHz), but also for America countries of band 2/4/7/17 (700/1700/1900/2600 MHz). The internal memory is much bigger than OUKITEL K10000, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM with the max expansion of 64GB with a TF card. And the camera of M8000 is much better than OUKITEL K10000, both the 13 MP rear camera and front 5 MP camera use Samsung camera sensors. The design of M8000 is also unique, using the popular metal frame element with a texture back cover. Besides, M8000 runs on the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow mobile OS, providing more advanced features comparing with Android 5.1 Lollipop of OUKITEL K10000. As a new trend for OEM smartphones in 2016, fingerprint will be a basic function and M8000 supports this feature while OUKITEL K10000 doesn't support.
We recommend M8000 as it is the best budget OEM phone for mobile phone purchasers, you can contact the professional consultant to get quote.
Of course, there are many relatively-big-battery smartphones from China OEMs on cnoemphone.com platform, you can find the one you need or just tell us your requirements in the comments.

When, after the offertory, Pierre uncovered the chalice he felt contempt for himself.
The only part that must be new will be the offertory for the day, unless you happen to have that too.'
Even the check that you put in the plate when you take the offertory up the aisle on Sunday morning?
The offertory having been recited, the priest uncovered the chalice.
One of the most pleasing parts of the service is the taking up of the offertory.
It would be like putting bad money into the offertory to put me into that holy work.
I know, dear, three services on Sunday and a shilling for the offertory.
But when the offertory was reached, matters suddenly quickened.
You must understand there's a weekly offertory in our church.
He sang an offertory solo, accompanying himself on the harmonium.
"the part of a Mass at which offerings are made," late 14c., from Medieval Latin offertorium "place where offerings are brought," from Vulgar Latin offertus, corresponding to Latin oblatus, past participle of offerre (see offer (v.)). Meaning "part of a religious service" is first recorded 1530s; sense of "collection of money" is from 1862.

Another mystery solved! Marina Orlova from "Hot For Words" explains the origin of the word "Testicle." Contrary to what some sissies might think, it does not derive from the phrase "feeding tube"!
Am I abnormal? Maybe. Am I perverted? Probably. Am I a sissy? Definitely! This blog is about those things that make a sissy swoon... at least this sissy. Topics that interest me include chastity, enemas, fisting, cock sucking, sounds, tampons, condom sucking, makeup, analingus, forced feminization, debutantes, ball gags, douches, corsets, bimboism, prostate milking, orgasm denial, fashion, erotic hypnosis, sexual humiliation, petticoats, panties, transgender fiction and a whole bunch more!

No and No. Montee Ball will be done in 3 years, he's got way to much wear and tear and Williams is just as flashy a player as Frederick. I'd rather try and see what late round DT or PFA guys we can get to try and add depth then to have took Williams at 18.

Stone-Cold Heart - Poem by Doris Cornago
Water feels nice to drown the feet
Like drowning sorrow in a sleet
I am cold and numbed from the crush
Of inattentiveness, sorrow's slush...
Talk of sorrow like a piece of pie
One pushes down with gulp of hot tea
With a fork one can slice, or mash
Tiny slivers lost in teeth or tongue...
Talk of pain like a shot through the arm
Of needle in a doctor's sterile cubicle
Sting comes and goes in an instant shot
We often seek freedom, but seldom find...
Excess sorrow is something you can know
Throw that sumptuous pie if it's poison
But freedom is a need that makes you live
Eternally, when at last, it comes complete...
An icy cold maiden is how you found me
More of a stone formed out of the sea
Thrashed about by life's trickery
You seared me, thawed my stone-cold heart...

History of Rome-After Ætas ab Brian
|!Past a one Off: Epic:
Ætas ab Brian
|History of Rome (Aeab):
|Not so Epic: On to the future!:
After Carico's death in 803 AVC (50CE) his successor, Vespasian assumed a peaceful and quiet rule. Plans had been made by Carico to invade Britannia but Vespasian's already dim interest in the campaign was halted indefinitely when a considerable revolt in Ivdea occurred in 819 AVC (66CE). It was speculated that had Carico not made his revisions to the governing systems, there would have been far more people disgruntled enough to join in. The revolt was also made quick work of by fastly deployed Legions by rail and by primitive bombus alesalitis(bombers). Another, smaller general revolt in Gallia 823 AUC (70CE) was also put down in less than a year. The use of these bomber aircraft, first used by Carico in Ægyptian occupied Greece were indispensable, though the passenger aerocraft fell into disuse, its design coming from Carico himself and they being ahead of their time and out of most people's price range. The old aerocraft simply could not be competently maintained. The current bombus alesalitis with their 2 propellers were powered by twisted and cranked sinues, allowing up to 20 minutes of flight. Their rickety wood and fabric construction made them very fragile but in the air, nearly invincible against a few arrows, as long as they missed the pilot.
By the end of Vespasian's rule in 832(79), bombus alesalitis were supported with some iron supports and had 6 propellers, carrying 3 people. Each propeller was synchronised so that only one stopped at a time. One person ran between the 6, re-cranking each, giving the bomber a flight time of over an hour and a half. Another was a pilot, the other released the bombs and sometimes helped the cranker. Airstrips were built near many garrisons, most having at least 2 bombus alesalitis.
Vespasian also created a national school for scribes, each major city had one, the costs were usually reasonable, and each school was standardized to the same criterion. This Vespasian Imperial School would raise the Empire's overall literacy rate from 14 to 32%. This education of the masses would put Rome on the path of survival in the future.
Vespasian's son Titvs took over at his death in 832(79) and also ruled pretty well. Vesvvivs erupted and Rome caught fire in the same year. He helped the refugees get their lives back to normal through the funding of public works, reconstruction, and handouts. Worrying about future poor after his death and about how unlikely it would be other emperors would consider helping the masses, Titvs formed the Imperial Welfare System. Titvs died very questionably in 834(81).
Domitian succeeded his elder brother and was an uninspired ruler. He saw through the completion of Rome's reconstruction from the fire but had most of Titvs' expansion plans for other cities cancelled; stating that the economy was in poor shape after his father and brother's frivolous construction projects and programmes. It was a self-fulfilling statement, he didn't know much about economics and his further policies created the recession he had thought already existed. To try and better his image, he revived the Capitoline Games in 839(86). These were held in a different province every 4 years. They included many sports similar to the ancient Greek Olympic games of a footrace, wrestling, and javelin. The Capitoline Games also had horse races, musicals, swimming, and weight lifting; gladiators were the highlight. All were challenging competitions. This was the end of Domitian's favourable attributes. He proved to be cruel and his wrath easily incurred. He killed a lot of Jews and several senators on the bases of conspiracies against both himself and the state. Following his contemplation of agreeing to a shameful peace after a fumbled war with the Dacians (842-3(89-90)) the Prætorian Guard assassinated him for the good of the Empire. The senators themselves would have done it in less than 4 years left to themselves.
Nerva of the Senate was then elected Cæsar. He was 61 years old, the oldest emperor at the start yet. He did a good job a fixing Domitian's errors, releasing several of the falsely accused, and readmitted wrongly exiled people. He funded the embellishment of old cities and the founding of new ones to deal with the Empire's growth due to the continuation of Carico's pro-population policies. He was lucky that the Prætorians had lost their temper with Domitian so quickly, otherwise, they probably would have turned against Nerva. He had no children but adopted the popular general Ulpius. It was amiable he did so much in just 8 years, he had a good public image. He died of chronic fevers in 852(99). Had his rule been tumultuous, he probably would have died earlier.

Hey everyone; or anyone! It's time to start jumping up and down like idiots. That means everyone; Boys, Girls, washings machines. You thought that raves were good. You thought that disco's were ace. But what if you mix all forms of music and dancing and put it together in mixing bowl and have The Red Guy from Cow and Chicken to bounce around in it for the next 5000 years; you know what happens? Yes, you get Dance Dance Revolution.
Since the late 90's; Konami have been keeping us up to date with all the great music remix's (when I mean "great", I really mean sad), and giving us the chance to head-bang and lose calories faster than you can say ecstasy. But really, the actual format of it is rather good; I mean the songs aren't just chosen at random; they've been picked because people like to dance to them. I mean it's rather difficult to beat the temptation of dancing to Boyzone's "So good".
Anyway, music aside; the characters that ar
The Best Thing About Being British Contest Entry The Best Thing About British Contest Entry
Living in Britain made me realise that there are lots of things to sacrifice if I might emigrate to a different country in the future, for example: Hong Kong. Sure, I used to live in London with my parents when I were a baby but it kind of have the same things as the city I'm living in now in terms of people, the fact that it is diverse and multicultural, music, culture and so forth.
Since I'm still used to living in Manchester, getting used to a different lifestyle can be difficult if I were to move away from the United Kingdom and I can get homesick very easily. There are a handful of certain things that might not be available elsewhere which is why I didn't like the idea of moving to a different nation perhaps in the future.
One of the main things I love being British is the fact this nation boasts all kinds of music, singers an
What the hell happened to VBirds?I know this may sound super late,But How come they no longer exist?I NEVER saw them on CN and I've had cable since '96-'97ish.Apperantly from the old archive comments I see here and there, they were really popular or something.But I don't recall ever seeing them.
Well,after watching that 6 min. video they have,I thought about myself bringing them back when I'm old and grosser.I think they looked really cool and the songs were catchy.
But they need a little upgrade and a plot.Maybe that's why they discontinued the group.I mean,How would the plot play out if they're stuck in a dancing machine?I'm sure that would've been debated on though, if they had given in a little more time for the VBirds.Either way,I think it would be a good idea to bring them back.As it is,there's not even a group for them here on DA.And since nobody nearly knows about them,No one would probably pay attention.
Anywho,I will be drawing some pictures of them to at least show that someone who's never heard of t
Shouldn't Have Forgotten About VBirdsMan, I shouldn't have forgotten about those cosmic chicks who were together known as the VBirds. My sis bought the single back in 2003, that's when I wasn't very interested in music or songs. I'm mostly into pop music, as well as a bit of all sorts. It was kind of her to lend me the single, "Virtuality" for a bit so I can copy the songs to a spare CD and turn that into a playable music CD. Those galactic gals were really a blast from the past. But I should have known that they were created by Cartoon Network UK in 2002, the year Girls Aloud was formed. Here's hoping that I'll include them in an upcoming fanfiction.
Speaking of which, I'm hoping to do a new fanfic that is about a 'battle of the bands' or some sort of music melee. It's inspired from The Powerpuff Girls comic strip, "Rock, Girls, Rock!" from issue 21 of The Powerpuff Girls Powerzine and the Eurovision Song Contests. Authors can comment about the chapter, how well

Loaded travellers return to Limerick for 20 weddings and a funeral
IRELAND's richest traveller traders rolled home from across the world again this year in a fleet of high-end luxury cars to attend 20 weddings and a funeral.
Parts of the Co. Limerick town of Rathkeale were lined with an array of Mercedes, Range Rovers, BMWs and a variety of SUVs.
Most were U.K.-registered, but some bore plates from Italy and Germany where the traders regularly ply their trade.
They included a number of BMW Coupe models that cost in excess of €100,000 and €120,000 Range Rovers that arrived towing caravans.
This year traders from the town were especially active in Italy.
"They've been doing well painting white lines in car parks for shops and businesses in the north of the country," explained a local source.
The traders spend most of the year on the road working across the U.K., continental Europe and even further afield. Their ornate houses in Rathkeale are left empty until their return home for the festive season.
Up to 20 wedding parties had been planned among the Rathkealers over the festive season.
But the annual raucous celebrations were muted this year with the funeral taking place of a popular Rathkealer killed in a car crash in South America.
As a result, some of the weddings were temporarily put on hold.
Christopher 'Choppers' Flynn died in the smash near Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay last month.
"A lot of people came back early for the funeral," the source added.
Range Rover Vogue - €124,300
The 32-year-old father lost his fight for life in a South American hospital.
Sources added that a number of other Rathkeale traveller traders were also injured in the smash.
This year the traveller traders also lost one of their most famous wheeler-dealers in Simon Quilligan, better known as Sammy Buckshot.
The multi-millionaire antiques expert was long regarded as the community's brightest and best. His willingness to travel far and wide for business inspired other traders.
But he never flashed his wealth like many other traders.
The traveller traders have been hit by the recession like everyone else, but some based in Ireland targeted by the Revenue and the Criminal Assets Bureau.
"The cuter ones haven't been as a showy as they have been in the past – they know only too well that cars can be seized," said a source.
BMW 530d - €69,952
Other traveller traders in Ireland have been recently targeted by Gardaí seeking to claim back the ill-gotten gains of criminals and rogue operators.
Just two weeks ago CAB successfully secured a court order to seize a car belonging to Michael Wall (23), from Tallaght, Dublin.
In recent years the Rathkealers suffered a setback thanks to the activities of a gang stealing antique rhino horns for the black-market Chinese medicine market. The gang became targets for Europol as well as U.S. federal agents, resulting in a number of prosecutions.


text: If you've got an Android KitKat device and Virgin TV, we have some bad news for you. The Virgin TV Anywhere app is available for a number of Android devices, but not for anyone using Android KitKat. Not yet anyway.But let's look on the bright side first. The app is available on Google Play, offering you the chance to watch up to 67 channels on your phone or tablet. Not quite the full selection, but a very good offering, far in excess of Sky Go when it comes to the numbers.Of course, you need to be a Virgin Media TiVo customer to use the app (and view the TV) for free, as well as being in a Wi-Fi zone. That's right, unlike Sky Go, you can't use it with your data connection, which is likely to be a pain if you have 4G available and some spare data allowance. But on the plus side, you can control your TiVo box to record anything you want to watch on the big screen when you get home.Android KitKat is not yet supported, although that is likely to be sorted sooner rather than later. Some other devices aren't supported either, if you want to know if your phone or tablet is good to go, you can check the full list here. If you are on the list, head to Google Play to grab the app.

Teachers' perceptions of aspects affecting seminar learning: a qualitative study
Approaches to teaching and learning
Many medical schools have embraced small group learning methods in their undergraduate curricula. Given increasing financial constraints on universities, active learning groups like seminars (with 25 students a group) are gaining popularity. To enhance the understanding of seminar learning and to determine how seminar learning can be optimised it is important to investigate stakeholders' views. In this study, we qualitatively explored the views of teachers on aspects affecting seminar learning.
Twenty-four teachers with experience in facilitating seminars in a three-year bachelor curriculum participated in semi-structured focus group interviews. Three focus groups met twice with an interval of two weeks led by one moderator. Sessions were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and independently coded by two researchers using thematic analysis. An iterative process of data reduction resulted in emerging aspects that influence seminar learning.
Teachers identified seven key aspects affecting seminar learning: the seminar teacher, students, preparation, group functioning, seminar goals and content, course coherence and schedule and facilities. Important components of these aspects were: the teachers' role in developing seminars ('ownership'), the amount and quality of preparation materials, a non-threatening learning climate, continuity of group composition, suitability of subjects for seminar teaching, the number and quality of seminar questions, and alignment of different course activities.
The results of this study contribute to the unravelling of the 'the black box' of seminar learning. Suggestions for ways to optimise active learning in seminars are made regarding curriculum development, seminar content, quality assurance and faculty development.
Many medical schools, inspired by social constructivist theories of learning stating that learners should construct their own knowledge in
In this study we use the definition of 'seminar' from a study by Jaarsma et al.: a learning session in which a group of some 25 students facilitated by a content expert discusses questions and issues emerging from assigned readings on a topic of practical relevance
A quantitative study of seminar learning by Jaarsma et al. showed that the teacher and the quality of seminar questions were considered to be important factors for seminar learning
Because of the importance of their contribution to seminar learning, and because they are likely to have a different perspective on seminar learning compared to students, we sought teachers' perceptions of seminar learning in the expectation that their views would add to our understanding of the 'black box' of seminar learning.
We conducted a qualitative study to explore which aspects teachers consider to be important for seminar learning.
Educational setting
The study was conducted at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, the Netherlands (FVMU), which offers a three-year bachelor programme and a three-year master programme. Each year 225 new bachelor students are admitted. The systems-based bachelor curriculum focuses on basic science knowledge, clinical science knowledge and practical skills. Of the total study time, 30-40% is devoted to lectures, seminars and practicals, while the remaining time is designated for preparation for educational sessions and assessments. Assessment consists mainly of written end-of-course exams.
Seminars attended by groups of around 25 students are the dominant educational method, taking up 40-60% of student-teacher contact time. The objective of seminar learning is to promote active and deep learning by providing interactive student-centred sessions in which students are challenged to discuss questions and issues relating to subjects of practical relevance
Data collection method
As the aim of the study was to increase understanding of seminar learning we explored teachers' views concerning seminar learning in a qualitative focus group study. This method relies on group interaction to generate rich data about relatively unexamined issues
The principal researcher sent an email to all the teachers who had facilitated two or more seminars in the academic year 2010–2011 (N=174), inviting them to participate in a focus group study about seminar learning and offering a small reward for participation. Of 174 teachers that were eligible for inclusion 78 did not respond, 47 were unable to participate due to time constraints and other priorities and 25 declined to participate because they could attend only one session. The 24 teachers who were willing to participate on the proposed dates were assigned to one of three groups depending on their time preferences.
Each group took part in two sessions of around ninety minutes with a two-week interval (Table
At the start of the first session, the researcher who moderated all the sessions (IW) assured the participants that confidentiality was guaranteed and asked them to sign an informed consent form. The focus of the first session was elicitation of aspects that influence seminar learning, and these aspects were elaborated upon during the second session. All sessions were semi-structured through pre-defined open questions based on findings from earlier research
Data analysis
The main objective of the analysis was to interpret the data in order to arrive at themes and categories that shed light on how seminar teachers perceive seminar learning.
In order to gain a good general idea of the data, the first author (AS) listened to the tapes of the first sessions and read all the transcripts. She then wrote a preliminary descriptive summary of each session and discussed these with the moderator (IW) until consensus was reached. As stated earlier, all participants were asked to comment on the summary of their session. The analysis of the first session gave rise to the questions for the second session. The first step of the analysis was repeated for the data from the second sessions.
Using software for qualitative data analysis (Atlas TI), the first author used a latent thematic analytical method to identify, analyse and report patterns (themes) in the data set
Ethical considerations
The study was approved by the ethical review board of the Netherlands Association for Medical Education (NVMO-ERB). Participation was voluntary and participants were assured of confidentiality. All participants gave written informed consent. The participants were assured that they were free to leave a session or not answer a question if they desired to do so.
Participants' comments were clustered into seven key aspects that influence seminar. In this section, these key aspects are described in detail and illustrated by quotes. To elucidate, we have clustered the key aspects in three overarching themes: teacher, student and organisation.
Seminar teacher
According to the participants, teachers have an important role in seminar learning. An effective seminar teacher should have expertise in the seminar subject, should not be perceived as threatening by students and have good interpersonal and didactic skills to stimulate interaction. It was also said that seminar teachers should provide context and examples to clarify subjects and help students identify gaps in their knowledge. Another task was to generate enthusiasm for their subject among students and ensure that learning objectives were reached.
Participants emphasised the importance of the teachers' role in education. Some seminar teachers were full-time teachers, while others were involved also in research and patient care. This latter group experienced some difficulty estimating the knowledge level of students, because they infrequently meet the students.
Seminar learning was also affected by the extent of teachers' involvement in seminar development (degree of 'ownership'):
Participants recommended improving collaboration between seminar teachers within and across disciplines to improve seminar quality.
Seminar learning depends for a large part on students' motivation, preparation and participation during the seminar, teachers said. They agreed that it should be clear to the students that a seminar can only be effective if students actively engage with the subject. Students should also know what is expected from them during a seminar.
According to the participants seminars are most effective when students participate actively and are willing to collaborate with other students, are interested in the subject and curious to know more than just the answers to the questions. Teachers suggested that active student participation could be promoted by providing context and addressing students by name. It was also considered important that passive students should not be rewarded for their inactivity. Students' learning style was also of influence on seminar learning some teachers thought:
Student preparation was considered to be essential for effective seminar learning.
While some teachers said that poor preparation was due to students' lack of motivation or poor time management skills, others stressed the importance of high quality preparation materials. Materials should be clear, with appropriate preparation questions and in line with and of value to seminar content. Most teachers agreed that the amount of preparation materials should be in proportion to the amount of time available for preparation, but they also indicated that they had little idea of the amount of time involved.
Some teachers thought that effective preparation could be promoted by scheduling preparation time for students, but other participants disagreed:
Teachers said that the absence of standard sanctions if students do not prepare for sessions affects students' preparation behaviour. Teachers have different ways of coping with unprepared students, so students do not know where they are if they haven't prepared.
Teachers also talked about their own preparation time. Teacher preparation time for a seminar was considered essential for junior teachers but not for specialized clinicians. Most teachers preferred facilitating the same seminar several times during a course.
Teachers proposed that time and money be invested in producing clear and suitable preparation materials for the seminars, for example digital self-study tools.
Group functioning
Teachers indicated that group size, continuity of group composition, teacher and student behaviour and mutual respect contributed to a safe learning climate.
It was recommended to reduce group size to decrease anonymity and help students and teachers build a positive relationship. The teachers acknowledged that smaller groups would mean more seminars on the same subject and consequently more teaching time. Adjusting the facilitating method within a seminar or reducing seminar time and content were proposed to resolve this problem.
Seminar goals and content
Teachers mentioned multiple general goals of seminars:
Other goals were: applying seminar content to clinical situations, dealing with uncertainty and problem-solving and presentation skills. Furthermore, seminars helped students to structure the important aspects in the learning materials.
In the discussion of seminar goals, the teachers also talked about the suitability of subjects for the seminar method.
Participants emphasized the significance of the relationships between seminars and between seminars and other educational methods used during the course. They said that there should be a clear connection between seminars and other educational methods. In addition to proper alignment and structure of subjects within a course, seminars had to be well structured and integrated. At the start of a seminar, the specific seminar goals should be explained and the seminar should end with an overview of seminar content. Seminar questions should increase in difficulty.
In discussing specific seminar content, the teachers placed great importance on the quality and amount of seminar questions. According to the teachers, effective seminar questions were clinically relevant, academically challenging and clearly defined. They encouraged problem solving and discussion, promoted a deeper understanding of the subject and helped students to apply what they had learned in similar situations in the future.
Some teachers thought that 'factual knowledge questions' should be avoided entirely, while others thought they could be used as introductory questions if they were relevant to the other questions.
Teachers mentioned that content overload due to too many pre-set questions hampered effective discussions.
The introduction of an evaluation tool for use after each seminar was recommended by participants to provide feedback to teachers on the quality of the preparation materials and seminar content.
Course schedule and course coherence
According to the teachers, seminar learning was affected by the sequencing of educational methods. The main subjects should be introduced in a lecture after which students should have time for preparation followed by discussion in a seminar.
Too much contact time on one day was thought to hamper active participation in seminars. Additionally, the distribution of contact time over the course was considered to have an impact on seminar learning. The teachers recommended analysing course schedules.
The teachers noted that at the end of a course, students gave priority to preparing for the exam over preparing for seminars.
Some teachers thought seminar teaching would be optimised if they could facilitate several different seminars in one course, as this would enable them to show students how different topics are connected and to refer to previous seminars or preparation materials. They recommended course and curriculum mapping, so teachers and students can easily see the connections between different educational methods within a course and between courses.
Participants emphasised the importance of well-functioning audio-visual equipment (computer, beamer), the presence of whiteboards and appropriate classrooms with ventilation, windows and light to help students stay concentrated. They also said that different seating arrangements should be possible, requiring classrooms with enough space and small tables.
Focus groups with teachers revealed seven key aspects that were thought to influence seminar learning: the seminar teacher, students, seminar goals and content, facilities, group functioning, preparation and course schedule and coherence.
The teachers' views appeared to be quite consistent with students' perceptions of seminar learning
Teachers and students agreed on the importance of the amount and quality of seminar questions. Seminar questions should be clear, encourage problem solving and discussion, and be clinically relevant and academically challenging. This confirms Steinert's findings regarding effective questions in small group learning
Another interesting finding is that the teachers – contrary to our expectations – paid no attention to assessment as a driver of seminar learning, but only referred to the negative effect of assessment on students' preparation for seminars at the end of the course when the course exam was approaching. This raises questions about the relationship between seminar content and the end-of-course exams.
Teachers' views on seminar goals were consistent with the goals of the school
A final important finding is that the teachers focused not only on effective seminars during the focus groups but also on (the relationship with) other educational methods used in the course. Some seminars seemed to 'stand by themselves' and teachers felt that they were 'flown in' and had missed the connection with the rest of the course and the other teachers. This suggests a need for a 'culture of education'. A possible explanation may be that in certain disciplines, staff has clinical duties in addition to tasks in teaching and research. The teachers articulated a need for curriculum mapping to help them see their role in the bigger picture of the curriculum. This supports Harden's support for the importance of curriculum mapping for an effective integrated curriculum
A limitation of this study is the low response rate: 24 out of 174 teachers. It is possible that it was the more 'education minded' teachers that participated and their views may not reflect those of the majority of teachers. Another limitation is that the study was conducted at one university; comments may be context dependent, so it is not clear to what extent the findings are transferable to other settings
Future research
The results of this study suggest areas for further research, such as preparation materials, seminar evaluation, course coherence and sequencing of the different educational methods. It seems worthwhile to investigate whether optimising these aspects could have a beneficial effect on seminar learning.
The results of this study contribute to the further unravelling of the 'the black box' of seminar learning initiated in earlier studies. The seminar teacher, students, preparation, group functioning, seminar goals and content, course coherence and schedule and facilities were identified as key aspects influencing seminar learning. Important sub-aspects were teachers' involvement in seminar development ('ownership'), the amount and quality of preparation materials, a non-threatening learning climate, continuity of group composition, suitability of subjects for seminar teaching, the number and quality of seminar questions, and alignment of course activities. The results give rise to concrete tips for curriculum development, quality assurance, faculty development and seminar content. We think seminars can offer a good alternative to other small group formats provided conditions for students' active participation and interaction are fulfilled.
Practical implications
The results suggest that seminar learning would benefit when quality management and curriculum review focused on:
• Evaluation of the amount, clarity and suitability of preparation materials;
• Evaluation of seminar content and seminar teachers, in particular the number and quality of seminar questions and of the performance of seminar teachers;
• Introduction of facilitating methods aimed at stimulating active participation and interaction in seminars, such as buzz groups;
• Curriculum mapping and course evaluation: critical review of course content with attention for overlapping subjects and matching educational methods to content. Course schedules and alignment and coherence of different educational methods should be analysed;
• Creating a positive educational culture by allocating more time and rewards for teaching tasks;
• Creating co-ownership of seminars and teacher-teacher collaboration so teachers can enhance their pedagogical skills in seminar learning.

Romir: The Best Backbender in OrientalA gift for Aldric ^.^
Emaryl is a teacher of contortion from Oriental, the elven country where the art of contortion is just as common as singing and dancing. He has trained many great contortionists: the legendary Aaulin and his brother Aorev, the twins Sylas and Sayalin, Alwin and many others... ;3
But among them there was this boy whom Emaryl will never forget. The boy loved to do backbends and it was like breathing for him, he enjoyed bending backwards ever since he was a little baby, and did it all the time. Seeing how much he enjoys it, his parents took him to Emaryl and the teacher was amazed at this boy's potential and immediately took him under his wing. The boy, in turn, was very excited to be stretched by Emaryl's skillful hands that somehow found the way to bend him much further than he was used to.

After the mega-success of The Conjuring, you can expect to see "From the Producer of The Conjuring" attached to many upcoming horror films. The trend begins today, and you'd better get used to it!
As per Variety, French studio SND has picked up French distribution rights and international sales for The Atticus Institute, a supernatural thriller produced by Conjuring producer Peter Safran. The film is currently in post-production, and SND plans on shopping it at the American Film Market, which kicks off November 6.
More as we learn it!
Written by Buried scribe Chris Sparling, the film stars Rya Kihlstedt, Aaron Craven, William Mapother and Laurent Rubin.
Set in 1976, The Atticus Institute revolves around a parapsychology lab which uncovered the supernatural abilities of Judith Winstead, a patient possessed with dark forces. The Atticus Institute discovery prompted the U.S. military to intervene and take control of the facility in order to weaponize Winstead's evil forces.

Troubled Dungannon Swifts target points in crunch clash
Rodney McAree admits points are more important than performances as he bids to steer Dungannon Swifts out of trouble.
The Tyrone side have won just twice in the league all season and face a crunch game at Carrick Rangers this weekend.
Defeat would leave them six points adrift of 10th place - a significant gap given they have only taken eight points from their first 14 games.
While encouraged by the effort against Linfield in his first league match after taking charge, McAree admits it is time to start focusing on results.
"We have to start collecting points - at the moment points are more important than performances," he said.
"I got a reaction from the players last weekend and got plenty of effort, and it gives us a good platform to work from.
"However, we need to win games and hopefully three points are not too far away."
Today Dungannon visit Carrick, with McAree admitting it is a bigger game than last weekend's fixture against the Blues.
"You don't expect to pick up points against the likes of Linfield, so they have to come from the teams around you in the table," he added.
"Saturday is a massive game. We have to keep in touch with the teams around us.
"We can't afford to let the gap grow at the bottom.
"Six points would be quite a gap to make up when you look at how many games we have won so far.
"It would be a tough deficit to try and bridge."
Meanwhile, McAree confirmed that defender Cameron Grieve has left the club.
The left-back signed in 2012 from Glenavon, but has hardly featured since the turn of the year because of injury.
It is understood Grieve plans to spend the next year or more in Australia.

Been doing a lot of enviros lately, thought about sharing some here. Let me know if you'd like to see more!
*cough* You Need to make tutorials *cough cough*
I'd very much like to see a link to a speed-painting-tutorial of yours
I'm really enjoying this series, man. Your work is incredible, and the videos are very instructive.
Nicely done.
Somehow it's the hat on the guy in the foreground that I find my eye drawn to. Probably has more to do with my fascination with nice hats than any feature of the picture actually pushing me there. Nice detail on the buildings, though, especially the crumbly bits.
Beautiful! I'd like to see more enviros for sure!
Very Nice! Fav
looks so awesome
This is just wonderful !
Good lighting work and fine care about details on the tower, so... Yeah please, share more of this.
I also agree with yunla, where is this inspired from? cuba and spain flags together...

Hi everyone! Today we have a special guest here to chat about photography. Why is this guest so special you wonder? Well, maybe because she's one of my closest friends (in real life friends to boot!). Crystal and I met many moons ago in college (we're learned yo!) and I knew we'd be friends forever when her eyes brightened at the mention of Tori Amos.
Crystal started the blog Crafty Ave back in February and ever since she told me about it it's been one of my favourite daily reads. There she documents the adventures of parenting two youngin's, working full time and evenings full of sewing. Every single time I visit her blog I can't help but wonder how she does it all.
One of her most recent undertakings was her Say NO! to Auto challenge. I adore her for being brave enough to take this on. Me and my camera have been hanging out in Autoville for way too long and sadly it shows in my photos. So today I've brought Crystal in to inspire change and bust us all out of our Auto rut. Let's do this!
Some of you may be wondering about the black bars in the photos, but I think the answer is pretty obvious. Crystal is raising two baby criminals. Two very adorable baby criminals.
Well hello there. When Chantilly asked me to put together a photography 101 post, I was honoured and thrilled. I'm not a photographer (sigh), just another crafty momma who can't stop taking pictures of her babies and handmade creations, though not necessarily in that order. Since starting my own tiny blog a few months ago my photo snapping has been in overdrive and here's what I've learned so far...
You really don't need fancy equipment. It's hard not to want a fancier camera, especially when you compare your pictures to others, but you can take fantastic photo's with any camera. Use what you have! I'm not gonna lie, I did recently spend a lot on a camera which I'm in love with but already I want different lenses, flashes, an iPhone.... Don't let your lack of perfect equipment stop you from taking great pictures today.
Only geeks read the instruction manual? Be a geek! Figure out what ALL those little buttons do. Your camera is probably capable of a lot more than you think it is. Learn all the in's and out's of what your camera settings and experiment with them.
Stop using your camera in the auto setting. A couple months ago I found the terms ISO, aperture, shutter speed and white balance mysterious and overwhelming. Then I made a commitment to stop using the auto function on my camera and learned how to use the basic settings. I bought an inexpensive eBook to help but you could look up the basic definitions and save your money. I also found a pretty good cheater method:
- Set your camera to auto.
- Take a picture and see what settings your camera automatically chooses.
- Switch your camera into manual mode and set it to the settings your camera chose in Step 1.
- Take pictures.
- Make minor adjustments to these settings and compare.
Soon you'll know what settings work in which situations!
Take your camera everywhere. See everything as a photographic opportunity. Don't take just one shot. I take about 100 pictures a day. Out of that I can usually tease out a couple awesome pictures. The more you have photography on the brain the more things you will see to shoot. Have fun!
My PSA of the day, save your work! What would happen if your camera or your computer or your house blew up? You would lose all those photos! Back them up somewhere. Save them online, on an external hard drive, or be old school and paranoid like me and burn them to discs and put them in a fire safe box at your in-laws.
Hopefully these tips will help you get the most out of your camera. Thanks again for inviting me to stop by!
