The Master of Architecture Course is designed to enable you to develop the creative and professional skills required for a successful career in architecture. Focusing primarily on studio-based design projects the course will stretch your design imagination, develop your critical thinking, and prepare you to respond proactively to a wide range of complex challenges.
The Master of Architecture is a new course which has been designed to meet the requirements of the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) for exemption from Part II examination to form the second stage of the professional training of an architect. We are currently in the process of seeking ARB prescription and will be seeking RIBA validation. Please seek up to date information on the status of this prior to application if this is of interest.
The course is designed to celebrate the distinctive nature of Architecture as a discipline which spans the sciences and the arts. Established in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the course also draws on the teaching and research expertise from the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing.
Studio based learning creates a holistic and integrated teaching and learning environment. Along with individual projects you will have the opportunity to undertake collaborative projects with students on master's courses in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing. A wide range of workshop facilities will be available to you.
The course is informed by an advisory panel of practicing architects to ensure a strong and collaborative bond between practice and academia.
The university actively encourages international collaboration through fieldtrips, online interactive learning and opportunities for international exchanges.
The Architecture courses at Coventry University are designed to encourage our students to be both curious and critical of the factors that shape the built environment. The structure of the course reflects an integration of and consideration for human values and for finding appropriate roles for architecture in contemporary society.
Architecture at Coventry University is taught as a liberal discipline that is technically, professionally, socially, and environmentally sustainable, placing an emphasis on architecture as a social practice and a technical process which deliberately spans both science and the arts. We strive to provide an architectural education that is as complex as the field of architecture itself, but which nonetheless has clarity of intent and purpose and is stimulating and accessible. Our teaching reflects the nature of contemporary architecture as an international field of creative inquiry and the course incorporates exploration, collaboration and the critical analysis of a range of inputs from differing sources, to provide the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary for the role of the architect in a modern multidisciplinary building design process.
This is a modular course based primarily on design project work, supported by lectures and seminars that explore the cultural, technical and professional dimensions of architecture. Modules include:
The course's approach to internationalisation, collaborative working and individual creativity is relevant to the pluralistic nature of contemporary practice; and from the outset students discuss and consider their individual ideas in the context of their peer group and wider society. The subject categories in which architecture operates: Design (process), Technology (including structure, construction and environmental control), Cultural Context (historical and contemporary) and Communication (visual and verbal) and Professional Practice, develop an understanding of the relationship between global issues, local context and the tectonics of architecture, and equip students with the intellectual, creative, and practical skills to apply their learning in an appropriate manner which meets the needs and aspirations not only of related professions and the wider construction industry, but of society in general.
Coventry University's Education Strategy 2015-2021 has been fundamental to informing the principles that underpin the development of this course. It has been designed to prepare students to make significant contributions to their professions and communities, and to be a creative force in a rapidly evolving world. The strategy is based around six pillars of transformative learning and student experience:
The course utilises a variety of assessment methods in response to the range of studio based design modules, and written modules. These include assessment methods which reflect the ways in which students might be expected to work in architectural practice, including the design critique (or 'crit'), which provides an opportunity for formative assessment through the verbal presentation of graphic work in the presence of both tutors and students. The ability to present and defend your work in this way is an essential attribute of successful architects and the assessment process is thus an essential part of the learning process.
Formative assessments and feedback are built into all modules. The focus on studio culture encourages regular contact between student and tutors within taught sessions through tutorials and workshops, and peer to peer learning is actively encouraged with an informally based feedback network. Written feedback is given in a structured process throughout the studio modules, and formative grading bands are utilised to help students gauge their progress and the quality of their work. Guest critics are viewed as an essential element of feedback. These are drawn both from practicing architects, helping to bridge academic and professional practices, and from real world clients which helps to reinforce the course's focus on the social practice of architecture.
Other modules, which are not focussed on design outputs, are assessed through a range of methods including written work, and seminar presentations. As with all modules, there are formative assessments and feedback at appropriate stages.
There will be up to 15 hours per week contact time initially spread across Studio Practice, Lectures, Seminars, Workshops and Educational Visits. Most activities will take place over 2 days a week. This allows you enough time for significant self-study and exploration which is the basis of studying at master's level, the proportion of which will increase building up to your final projects.
A good undergraduate degree in Architecture, normally RIBA/ARB Part 1. However RIBA/ARB Part 1 is not a prerequisite of the Master of Architecture programme, and we can make offers to candidates – usually from outside the UK – without RIBA/ARB Part 1 exemption from a previous degree.
Applicants are normally expected to have completed a 'year out' placement in practice with a completed PEDR logbook, or have equivalent experience. This will be determined at the applications stage.
This course requires IELTS 6.5 or above. If you don't have the required level of English then view our range of Pre-Sessional English courses.
Applicants will be asked to provide a convincing portfolio of relevant architectural design work. This will either be presented at interview or submitted by post/online.
To find out more about how to apply, click on the Apply For This Course button above. Many of our courses offer a part-time study option. Note that the part-time mode of study is not applicable to international students, unless you hold a relevant visa – please check with the international office.
Please note: we have a range of taught postgraduate awards to suit your needs, from Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma to a full Master's Degree (MA, MBA, MSc, LLM). In most cases you can decide to exit at Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma level, without carrying onto the full Master's qualification.
This course is primarily designed to prepare you for a career in architecture. Graduates may also choose to pursue careers in a wide range of related professions or to pursue further academic studies at PhD level.
Although work placements as such are not undertaken by the course, the nature of the course ensures strong links to industry with industry led design briefs and the input by visiting tutors from industry.
International case studies, practices and theories have been built into the course throughout. The course has strong connections with industry and other universities in Europe as well as overseas. You may have the opportunity to take part in international study visits and to work with international professionals and educators.
To prepare students for the challenges of the global employment market and to strengthen and develop their broader personal and professional skills Coventry University has developed a unique Global Leaders Programme.
The objectives of the programme, in which postgraduate and eligible undergraduate students can participate, is to provide practical career workshops and enable participants to experience different business cultures.

And Who We are?
Before I leave, I'll lay out a question that I presented to CCP Seagull and Eve's Producers.
"Is Eve a dark, cold, dystopian universe?"
Note, I didn't add harsh in there. A lot of Eve is balanced around the ability to lose what you gain and fail what you try. The question is not about Eve being a hard game of challenges where effort does not automatically save ones virtual efforts. Nor do I believe that harsh is a one sided word. It does not mean loss or destruction although those are some of the greatest motivators.
What I asked them was to look at what, Eve is. We have a game where we celebrate groups that rise up to help other people. We create as much as we destroy. We adopt new players, create complex social networks, and buy yellow jump suits when available.
Is Eve a dystopian universe where there is no hope and only an oily, slick death in hallways that reek of the set from Aliens. When I write creatively about Eve should my prose be soaked in despair and regret as everything around me crumbles?
In 1999 and into 2000 as Eve was conceived, the science fiction environment was a bit different. Harshness does not have to come with a lack of hope. When players log into the game do they take a deep breath and go, "I shall regret every moment, fail every task, and have no potential to ever succeed. Then I shall die to some horror movie villain and never a shaft of sunlight shall piece the clouds."
There is a cohesiveness that the environment lacks. I feel we often speak to antiquated platitudes. Over and over this week I have listened to people reference some of the largest battles in the game. Their words are not about loss and despair. They are about the efforts and energies that were put out and the successes and failures that came from that. It seems to be the knowledge of what could have been and what almost was that drives people on. The pressure of the edge and the face of the void motivate.
I'm a nothing in Eve. A single player in a big universe. I am often alone and have nothing more to leverage but myself. It is easy to ask why I play and what motivates me to Eve. Its always been the potential. I've never been promised anything but a possibility. I've only been promised that I can try. If I aspire to it, it is my job to reach it.
If Eve is a universe without hope, joy, light and color, how can it encompass the hope, joy, help, success, effort, energy, and passion of its inhabitants?
A single, throw away line of the most dramatic and echoing prose no longer contains the game. It no longer defines the players. It no longer speaks to what is and what is not.
I asked them to look at what Eve is. I did not ask them to define it. My game is not your game. Your game is not the next persons. But the universe that we play in, vast and richly textured as it is, deserves a definition that encompass what it has been. Perhaps, when conceived, the dark, wet, universe was what Eve would be. It was before the rise of Eve Uni and efforts of groups like Estel Arador Corp Services. It was before we celebrated groups like Brave Newbies and during a time when a trailer like 'This is Eve' had never been envisioned.
It is 2015 and 2016 is sitting around the corner. As the game is updated and refined the definition and physical vision of the game world has to keep pace.

I always appreciate our different thought processes Sugar. Your ability to collect, collate and then cohere large disparate quantities of information fills me with awe. I tend to do much the opposite by searching around for a single sharp moment filled with complexity which I then unpack. Though we occasionally end at similar destinations, we nearly always take different routes getting there. Accordingly . . .ReplyDelete
"It is easy to ask why I play and what motivates me to Eve." Though most likely not intentional (you probably mean 'to Eve' in the sense of 'towards Eve') the sentence works extraordinarily well in a verb sense – 'to run', 'to jump', 'to Eve'. For me, the dark sinister backdrop of the game is well-nigh required because for me 'Eveing' is often all about conducting an ongoing battle against despair. Eve, for me, should remain a dystopian universe that we immortal pilots alone among the masses rise above. This means, for example, that I'm all for more vibrant color as exhibited by some of the recent ship skins but I tend to think that that vibrant color should be reserved for the only true humans in the game . . . us immortal capsuleers.
This post and its line of thinking is semantics only. Yup say what something is IS to define it according to every major discipline. Establishing the bounds of a thing defines it.ReplyDelete
And without this distinction, you're engaging in exactly the same line of questioning that made youso angry when i did it a month ago. At the time, you argued that Eve is something different to everyone, so efforts to answer the question of what Eve is in any definitive way are inappropriate.Replies

Interlocutor: So this is what irritates you about Tal?Delete
DireNecessity: "Irritate" is too strong a word as he no longer gets under my skin. No, these days Tal mostly makes me sad. He's a bright fellow and it's troubling to see fine intellect go to waste. Tal, you see, brings a PvP centric approach to everything he does. Accordingly, when an idea, question or thought comes before Tal battle immediately commences to determine whether the idea, thought, or question is to be accepted (i.e. wins the fight) or discarded (i.e. is crushed in ignominious defeat).
Interlocutor: So you're saying he's wrong?
DireNecessity: Oh my no. To say that would be to embrace his PvP centric approach and while it certainly has its appeal (the binary purity of a true/false, right/wrong universe can be very appealing), it feels emaciated and colorless to me. In Tal's PvP centric universe there is no opportunity to wear another idea for a while and let that donning enrichen your experience, no chance to take delight in other people's unique peculiarities, no space for aesthetic joy.
Interlocutor: So you're saying Eve would be better without him?
DireNecessity: Oh my no. Tal's presence in Eve improves my experience. I, on the other hand, am at best irrelevant to his. I'm comfortable with this state of affairs.

It may help to borrow an observation from Theodor Adorno, that a work of art is begun by an artist and completed every time it's observed.Delete
In this particular case, EVE is the art and the players are the observers. So Sugar is asking CCP what sort of art they are bringing out while reserving judgment on how people complete that art as a matter of principle.
By analogy, people who play The Police's "Every Breath You Take" at weddings aren't stupid or Doing It Wrong(TM). The Police released a song intending to portray a creepy guy unwilling to let go of his ex, but the people getting married heard it, took something else from it, and completed the song in a way the artist never intended. That's not dumb or wrong, it's a creative act by the audience.
EVE celebrates the creativity of its players, and Sugar defends it in all of its forms. But neither voids or contradicts or even addresses the question here, of what sort of mood CCP wants the players to react to.

"Is Eve a dark, cold, dystopian universe?"ReplyDelete
According to whom? Our experience as players in that universe is that of the one-in-a-million Capsuleers who only interact through masive war machines.
We don't know what kind of human are Capsuleers -we don't have the tools to do that ingame.
We don't know what do the ordinary peoples.
We just have the Chronicles, and they certainly favor the grim. Capsuleers are regularly out of their mind, either naturally or as a consequence of their life-death-resurrection cycle. Ordinary people suffer and die regularly too.
I think that the "cold dark dystopian" universe is just a background. EVE, after all, is a videogame. Capsuleeers behave like people playing a videogame.
The ships they fly, the characters they use as avatar, the things they do, all is just a game.
So, what kind of universe is New Eden? A fiction populated by uninvolved characters disguised as spaceships and playing games.
And shall we remember: all of it belongs to CCP. So, in real life, New Eden is a commodity owned by a company...Replies
What you say it true... but it's not fun and it is NOT what Sugar was asking... and you know it.Delete
Enough with the negative waves Moriarty... =\
I thought it was a good comment. None of it is contentious, and it is accurate.Delete
What I remember of the chronicles, and what I miss, is the sense of possibilities. This is the future, they say, this is what Man might become. This is what we are, and how we remain.
This is the future, and you must take what you can.
"There can be no other destiny but our own."
- CCP Games, 2006.
Rob, I did say it was all truth... but not in the spirit of Sugar's query and as such was a negative response.Delete
- Dersen LowerySeptember 20, 2015 at 11:26 PM
I tend to agree that what the players make of New Eden has to be factored in to New Eden.Delete
Ladies and Gentlemen: the Dixon Cox Butte Preservation Society.
What could be more dystopian than to have thousands of demigods--more accurately, immortal super-warriors--running around acting as if they don't really care about anything? How much damage can people do simply by being minimally invested in the world? How enabled is the current Drifter storyline by the simple fact of years of wholesale slaughter, for ISK, of the Sleepers? How many thousands of people die in-game every time some mission runner rescues the Damsel?
I understand the objection--"dark and harsh" is so facile that any writer using it can be confidently accused of laziness. All it is, in practice, is a shorthand way to handwave away the problem that actions only have consequences when the author wants them to, and the (anti-)hero is so ruthless and violent that the conceit is necessary. And the Chronicles are, frankly, full enough of that kind of laziness that I've rolled my eyes at more than a few of them. "Oh, there's a woman. She's impossibly hot, and she's going to get raped and murdered so that the author can show off how totally edgy and hardcore they are. And you are too, reader, for reading it!" Blech.
And yet, CCP's problem is that there are people who painstakingly built and grew a corporation, recruiting members, arranging ops, running logistics, and all of the real work that goes in to building such a thing in EVE, and they gave it the 7th grade name above. How do you work with that?
It seems that the baseline rule has to be that there is opportunity. The Empires are still there, and there are opportunities within them, but there are more the further you get away from them, too.
IMO the biggest problem with EVE right now is that it's basically a war simulator. Corporations really aren't (and a lot of corporations fail badly because people believe in the bad metaphor it offers): they're military entities, best run as military entities, which necessarily have the focus and the mission of military entities. Logistics are fundamentally military; industry is wholly yoked to fueling militaries. Mining exclusively supplies engines of war. Even solo mission runners are fighting an endless battle against pirates. One of the huge things missing especially from sov null is that you can't "live" in your space. There's no civilian life. You're a soldier in an army on a perpetual war footing. If you're not waging war, you're probably building up the reserves necessary to eventually wage war, or you're planning it. If you don't realize that then before long you'll find yourself with a lot of reserves and no ability to defend yourself.
I'm going on about this at length because I can't know where I'm going if I don't know where I am. It's worth it to ask where EVE is, however accidentally, before asking where it should go.
+1 to your whole post. Excellent thoughts there. Often I consider the RP community to be an outlet of 'civilian' behaviour, though much of it is combat based. The breakdown comes from the fact that Capsuleers are soldiers. The first capsuleers were soldiers, and we've never really moved away from that base. 'Real People' have no places in our narratives: they're cargo, not humans.Delete
Any attempt to bring 'humanity' into the game, of which teams were the latest, is probably* doomed to failure, because in an MMO the players, not the game, should be your challengers and competition.
*I don't know. CCP could come up with a really great interpretation or idea. The problem remains: numbers have no agency. No interactivity or relationships. Maybe NPC Haulers will improve this, maybe not. If they are like lambs to the slaughter, what is the point?
Tur, what is the spirit of Sugar's query?
Onions' comment was an answer to "Is Eve a dark, cold, dystopian universe?" I thought it was a pretty good one.
(I was gonna put some metaphorical questions about who defines the 'spirit' of a question, but I got beaten to it :P)
Dystopia or Utopia is a question of viewpoints. Some would look at what humanity has achieved in New Eden and call it a flawed utopia. Others would look at all that creepy cloning and copying of memories thing and recoil in horror from this dystopia.ReplyDelete
So really, CCPs viewpoint will just determine how much EVE will change into one or the other extreme, but they can't actually go full-on 100% dystopia because that would make even the players so cartoonishly evil player-count would probably drop by 89%. Going into the utopia-direction is of course equally absurd. :V
At least EVE is a sandbox where you can mostly ignore CCP's viewpoint about the matter if you strongly disagree yourself, SF-novels have it harder: They're essentially hit and miss. If you agree with the author's opinions or can at least accept them, all is well. If not, well the best the author can hope to achieve after that is unintentional comedy and farce.

EVE is what we the players make out of the tools and 'sand' CCP gives us. The descriptions 'Harsh and Hard' do not in any way deny hope, joy, help, success, effort, energy, and passion.
EVE is a sandbox with history.
The sandbox is the no-end-game aspects combined with a player controlled manufacturing and market at a scale never seen before in a MMO.
The history is the Lore + emergent player activity.
WE the players make EVE either dark, dystopian and deadly or light, hopeful and filled full of fluffy bunnies... it's up to each of us what we bring to the game.
Personally, I believe EVE is neither one or the other, but both at the same time. The same as real life...
Because its full of real people living out their virtual lives in a 'verse without end... I love the very real variety that is EVE.
If Eve is a universe without hope, joy, light and color, how can it encompass the hope, joy, help, success, effort, energy, and passion of its inhabitants?ReplyDelete
I have mentioned this before. I have occasionally seen Eve compared to Chess. Yet in Chess the Brilliance, the Sacrifice and the Novelty have a much greater significant presence over the Blunder, the Defeat or the Tragedy. For Eve, it is the reverse - and the more humiliating equates somehow to "better content". The culture of schadenfreude which permeates the game, it is most damning aspect.

Background: Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy is a promising clinical treatment for nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy can provide added benefits for heavily pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC and whether the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy relates to the tumor PD-L1 expression level remain controversial. Thus, this meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy for pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Randomized clinical trials were retrieved by searching the PubMed, EMBASE, ASCO meeting abstract, clinicaltrial.gov, and Cochrane library databases. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and odds ratios for the overall response rate and adverse events (AEs) were calculated by STATA software. Results: Three randomized clinical trials involving 1141 pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC were included. These trials all compared the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies (nivolumab and MPDL3280A) with docetaxel. The results suggested that, for all patients, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy could acquire a greater overall response (odds ratio=1.50, 95% CI: 1.08-2.07, P=0.015, P for heterogeneity [Ph]=0.620) and longer OS (HR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.61-0.81, P<0.001, Ph=0.361) than docetaxel, but not PFS (HR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.65-1.06, P=0.134; Ph=0.031). Subgroup analyses according to the tumor PD-L1 expression level showed that anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy could significantly improve both OS and PFS in patients with high expressions of PD-L1, but not in those with low expressions. Generally, the rates of grade 3 or 4 AEs of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy were significantly lower than that of docetaxel. However, the risks of pneumonitis and hypothyroidism were significantly higher. Conclusion: Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy may significantly improve the outcomes for pretreated advanced NSCLC patients, with a better safety profile than docetaxel.

Objective: To explore the influence of BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptide) in plasma on the long-term cause of mortality and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 276 inpatients that enrolled in our hospital from March 2003 to December 2004 and had a history of heart disease and received a BNP test. Kaplan-Meier survival curves with Log-Rank test were used to compare the survival rates among different levels of BNP (<100 ng/L, 101~1000 ng/L, 1001~5000 ng/L and >5000 ng/L). Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate HRs and 95% CIs with adjustments for other covariance's. Result: After a median follow-up of 7 years, a total of 91 patients died of whom fifty were cardiogenic deaths and 41 were non-cardiogenic. The survival rates were of statistical significance (P=0.0000) between the different levels of BNP in the 4 groups, and the mortality rate increased gradually with the increase in BNP concentration. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that BNP levels were inversely associated with the survival rate in CVD patients (HR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.13~0.42). In addition, age and left ventricular ejection fraction values were also of statistical significance in the Cox regression model. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that high Plasma BNP levels may have an adverse effect on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. © 2015, E-Century Publishing Corporation.

Im 4 months pregnant and my boyfriend just left me and I am
Customer Question
I'm 4 months pregnant and my boyfriend just left me and I am devestated. We were taking "space" when I got pregnant and I found out he was with other girls as well as me although he denies it. We got back together in late August to try and make it work for the baby. It's been rocky... mainly because there are nights he wont answer his phone and he's out... or he doesnt want to spend time with me and I'm here all alone. We went on vacation last week... had a good time with only one argument. We had one the day we got back though... and another one yesterday which is when he said he's done with me, we argue too much, fight too much and our relationship is volatile and he's had enough. He said he wants a paternity test to prove the baby is his and he'll do what he has to do then. I've begged and pleaded for him to stay and he wont. I dont want to do this without him. I am so scared and I dont want to be home alone pregnant while he's out with other girls. What do i do???

Hi Niki,
I apologize, the site has been having some issues and I was not notified of your response. I just realized that I had spoken to you back in June and there were issues. The botXXXXX XXXXXne is that the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior, and if he's cheated then he probably will continue to cheat, and it's because he not only doesn't have respect for you, he doesn't have respect for himself. He's not ready to be in a relationship, he's not ready to stop doing what he's doing, and he's actually told you that on more than one occasion. The question is, why you haven't listened or believed him when he said he didn't want to be together. Probably because like most people he enjoys being with you, doing things with you, and sleeping with you and didn't want to give that up, even though he didn't want to commit to you. At this point, the baby is coming, and you will have to stop thinking about Niki and start thinking about that little one who did not ask to come into this world. From now on you will have to question every single step you make in your life and ask yourself, how will this affect your child, and start making decisions based on that. You can't have arguing, fussing and fighting around the baby...you should not even have it while you are pregnant, it's bad for you. You have to think about yourself now, and if he doesn't want to be a part of your life, you are going to have to let him go....its possible that in time he may realize his mistake, but he has to come to realize that on his own and it's not something you can depend on. I welcome your thoughts, let me know if you want to talk more

He's demanding a paternity test and than he says he'll see what he does from there. Do I give him one? Or wait till after the baby is born and make him get it legally? I saw his mom by chance at a restaurant Saturday and she figured it out. Now, he says him and his mom are in it together and she's going to support him... whatever that means. He says he wants to be part of everything but doesnt want to be with me at all. and he wants his own life. So basically, he wants to be single and play but demand to be present at anything with the baby. ? I'm just having trouble with sitting home pregnant while he's out and then letting him come around on his terms. Of course this is all based on a paternity test since he thinks it isnt his. I'm really not sure what to do next. I just feel like it keeps getting worse and there's more and more anger between us and I dont want things to be this way.

Votive heads were placed in temples to accompany requests and offerings of thanks to the gods. Stamps and molds were used to produce images of both men and women. On finer pieces, such as this example, elements of the face and hair were refined with a pointed tool before firing in the kiln. Traces of paint suggest that the hair was originally painted bright red. The large, lively eyes, leaf necklace and patterned hair of tight curls below a high polos are hallmarks of Etruscan figural representation.

DNS Records
Handle your DNS records with a click of the mouse
The DNS administration user interface of the Control Panel features a choice to incorporate and revise a variety of DNS records for any domain names that you have got registered or moved to your web hosting account. These records consist of A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV and TXT records. When you've got modified a DNS record but want to recreate the original values, this can be done with simply a mouse click on the Revert button.

Domain Parking
Park all your domain names in exactly one step
Domain Parking is a popular solution which you can use to obtain alluring domain names and put them on the internet and never having to have a website. You're able to park as numerous domains as you desire with the Domain Names Manager of your respective Control Panel. Parking a domain can make it present an 'Under Construction' page, a "for sale" webpage, as well as forward the domain to a different site.
And once you've got your site available, you can easily host back your domain name with just a single mouse click! Your freshly published website will get on the web straight away.
Redirect Your Domains
Forward your domains to different web addresses
Through the Domain Names Manager, it is easy to point a domain to a new website address no matter whether it is located within your web hosting account or elsewhere. Inside the easy to navigate user interface, you just need to select the domain name you'd like to have to reroute and after that specify the website url to where you want it to point to. In order to forward the domain back to your cloud service account, you need to click on the 'Host Domain' button and let a few seconds for the change to come about.
Domain redirection is most required in times when you desire 2 different domain names to open up the very same website. In such cases, you have one of the domains filled with the web content and the different domain directed to the same content.

Keep your personal privacy
The Domain Privacy Protection service can be a good way to cover the registration information and facts of your domain from the public eye. It will switch your individual info along with simple business name and address, to make sure that no–one is able to put it on for illegal uses. In the event that, however, someone likes to contact you about your domain name, they are able to still use the listed email address, which will quickly direct the email to you.
SSL Certificates
Need to have for every e–shop.
An SSL Certificate will offer your web visitors a warranty that the web site is safe and sound for making online payments or become a member. It can secure pretty much all very sensitive info that can be transmitted between visitors and your website and will prevent all of the endeavors for misuse.
With the Domain Names Manager with the Gibson Hosting Control Panel, you can quickly obtain an SSL certificate for your personal web store or community website.

I'm on a pork kick these days so I'm sure I'll be posting several recipes. Tonight I'm serving Asian pork chops, a very different chop from our norm. These are super simple because they can be prepared in the crock pot.
You can also eat them as pictured as I do, or you can serve with a lot of the sauce which is the way my husband eats them. Either makes a very nice change from what we consider the norm. Just remember that if you are watching carbs, you will need to omit the sauce from your serving. Don't worry; they are still delicious without it!!
2 Pork Center Rib Chops Bone In Thick, or your favorite pork*
½ Cup Soy Sauce
½ Cup Ketchup
¾ Cup Brown Sugar
1 /2 to 1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
Ground Peppercorn, about 10
1. Mix all sauce ingredients together well.
2. Put chops in crock pot.
3. Pour sauce over meat.
4. Turn on low and cook for about 5 hours, according to how tender you want your meat.
*I used this cut of meat because it was what I had. I also used two chops because that was what I needed. Adjust recipe according to your needs and tastes.

Hey, I have been playing around with Ubuntu for the last 3 weeks kind of making a mess of my computer. I was wondering if I could get some help to make my experience a little more enjoyable. I should add that I am no expert on computers so some of my observations may not be vaild.
Basically, when I start the computer I get your normal options for booting. When I select the one with my working version of Ubuntu on it, I get this error
Generally I can type in the partition name of where my working version of Ubuntu is (or strangely enough where Windows 7 is) and it will boot properly. I would like to fix it so I don't have to type /dev/sda5 (or /dev/sda1).Code:resume: libgcrypt version: 1.4.5 resume: Could not stat the resume device file '/dev/sda8' Please type in the full path name to try again or press ENTER to boot the system
This error started after I gave the memory inside an empty partition that was to the left of Windows 7 to Windows 7 using a program in Windows 7. After that I could not boot the computer and went into grub rescue mode. I figured out how to manually boot the computer and did so. After that I reinstalled grub or something and this problem occured.
I should also add that really there shouldn't be an sda8. According to my disk utility in Ubuntu I have sda1 with Windows 7 on it, sda2 which is an extended one containing 3 Linux partitions itself, sda5, sda6, and sda7. sda5 has my working version of Linux on it, sda6 has the swap on it, and sda7 and empty 40GB partition.
I have reinstalled it a few times though that hasn't fixed the problem at all. I really want to be able to not only instantly start Ubuntu but also edit the menu itself, just for the fun of it. Can any of you help me? really don't wnat to have to reformat my entire drive and thus subsequently reinstalling Windows 7. Thanks

Outdoor chess fans still two pieces short
Some speculate they have legged it to Fiji. Others that they have been unceremoniously dumped in a river, buried in a shallow grave or tossed into the sea never to be seen again.
But no one really knows what happened to the black Bishop and the white Knight of Puke Ariki's much-loved, long-absent outdoor chess set.
The game pieces were an everyday sight in front of the library until 2 1/2 years ago, when 14 pieces were pinched after a library worker forgot to bring them inside at day's end.
Eight were quickly recovered by authorities but six remained at large, until the recent discovery of five pieces standing sentinel on the side of Beach Rd in New Plymouth.
That should have meant just one piece remained missing, but the recovered pieces included an extra black Pawn so the set still needs a white Knight and black Bishop to be complete.
"They are possibly in Fiji by now," said Puke Ariki exhibition technician Danny Blattler, the man now responsible for the chess set's welfare. "If it were me I might have been spending some time in Samoa."
Mr Blattler knows his guesses are unlikely to be accurate, not least because it is very difficult for plastic figurines to obtain passports and almost unheard of for them to opt for warm climates when they do.
Puke Ariki marketing co-ordinator Tae Allison said people asked daily about the pieces and the library very much wanted them returned so they could bring chess back into the city.
But even if the pieces do turn up it is unlikely Ms Allison will give them a go. "I played chess as a child but my father used to fall asleep during the games so I used to cheat. That meant my game did not develop very well," she said.

I ordered some papers from them a few times and got pretty decent essays on time. And that's good cause I cant say at least the same about other services I used before.
This is the first time I've used a service like this. I'm glad I found this one. I reached a point where I'd completely ran out of ideas for my upcoming assignments. This guys helped me with two different papers. They really worked with me from start to finish.
They really saved me! I just finished my first "finals week" of college and I really had a difficulties managing all of my time trying to complete all of my final papers while also studying for my final tests.
I searched the internet desperately looking for some help with my final paper and I am so lucky that I came across this company. They helped me in a timely fashion and I was able to achieve a fantastic grade on my paper.
I will definitely use their services again, they were very helpful and professional!

Nominated ODM aspirants confident of winning the August poll
Various Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) aspirants who were nominated in the just concluded party primaries in Narok County have expressed confidence that they would win come August Elections.
Former Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Principal Secretary Joseph Tiampati Ole Musuni said ODM was the most popular party in the County as opposed to Jubilee and the newly formed Bomet Governor's led party Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM).
"We will join efforts to campaign for ODM in the County so that we can ensure the party garners all the possible seats," said Musuni.
Musuni was speaking to journalists Monday in Narok town where he thanked ODM supporters for volunteering in large numbers in the party primaries.
He vowed to implement major projects among them building a wheat and maize processing factory, slaughter houses and protect Mau Forest against any further destruction.
"I will ensure that our people get value for their produce. We do not want to continue selling our farm products to outside counties who process them and later sell to us at a high price. We will have our own factories in our County," said Musuni.
He said that most of the farmers were living a poor life despite their hard work in the farms because of the impassable roads that made it difficult for them to transport their goods to the market.
"I promise you that once you elect me in office, I will ensure that all roads that connect to the grassroots are renovated so that goods can get into the market easily," he said.
Musuni is to face off with CCM gubernatorial aspirant, current Narok West Member of Parliament Patrick Ntutu, and incumbent Governor Samuel Tunai, who is flying the Jubilee flag.
ODM senatorial aspirant Ledama ole Kina lauded Narok residents for supporting him despite a surprise little known Sirere Maitai coming out the last minute to oppose him.
Ledama promised to fight corruption in the County and ensure that revenue generated from the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and National allocation to the County was used to benefit all the residents.
"Our county has enough resources that if well utilized will boost our people's living standard," he said.
He faulted the incumbent governor for not implementing the development agenda he had promised wananchi before he was elected in office.
Ole Kina is to face off with Jubilee's candidate, former Narok South MP Nkoilale Ole Lankas.
Others who were nominated in the ODM party primaries included Rebecca Tonkei as Women Representative, who is to face off with incumbent Soipan Kudate (Jubilee) and Former Heritage and Culture Minister William Ntimama's daughter, Lydia Ntimama (CCM). The duo are going unopposed in their respective parties.
But it is not going to be easy for the ODM aspirants as governor Tunai and Ntutu have been traversing the County in the recent past wooing residents to vote in their favour.
The visit by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto two weeks ago was a major boost for the Jubilee candidates as the president asked residents to support the Jubilee candidates.
Meanwhile, Governor Ruto has also been campaigning for his candidates urging residents to vote for the CCM candidates.

Police and Crime Commissioner, Adam Simmonds, has praised the work of a number of schools in Northamptonshire who are successfully using restorative justice approaches to improve behaviour and attendance amongst pupils.
Restorative approaches focus on repairing relationships and finding solutions following incidents of conflict rather than assigning blame and have been shown to create a more positive school environment, cut bullying and reduce assaults on staff.
Following the success of these initiatives, which have been used effectively by youth offending teams across the UK and a number of schools in the county, two Restorative Approaches in Schools conferences will take place in Northamptonshire next week (week beginning Monday, February 22nd) as part of Restorative Northamptonshire, organised by Northamptonshire County Council and the Office of Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner.
More than 20 per cent of the county's state-funded schools are due to attend one of the sessions, which will showcase examples of good practice in Northamptonshire, such as Abbeyfield School in Northampton, which has seen a drop in the number of pupil exclusions and an overall improvement in behaviour.
Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Adam Simmonds, said:
"I'm delighted to see more and more schools are showing an interest in adopting restorative approaches as a method of resolving issues and conflicts that arise.
"Using this approach to repair relationships is proven to have an extremely positive effect on behaviour and attendance levels, and should therefore be encouraged.
"I'm sure that the Restorative Approaches in Schools conferences will be a huge success and will showcase the positive work that is being carried out in numerous schools around the county that are already using restorative approaches."
Cllr Matthew Golby, county council cabinet member for learning, skills and education, said:
"The use of restorative approaches in schools can be highly effective as it helps children to better understand how their behaviour might affect others and help to decide themselves how to make amends.
"Several schools in Northamptonshire who use this approach have seen some fantastic results, which is why we are inviting others to come and find out how they could make restorative approaches work in their own schools.
"By reducing bad behaviour, poor attendance and exclusion levels, we can ensure that every child in Northamptonshire receives the best possible education and support."

Progress Check-In!
I am feeling great being back into a good routine and being able to get more organised to be able to exercise, eat right and ensure that I am looking after myself as well as my kids and health.
After not doing my check ins the last few weeks, I was super excited to get my progress done and see exactly how much closer to my goals I am.
So, since my last check in, I have lost 1.7% body fat, 1 whole inch on my waist (down to 26") and my hips have finally started to come back in now too. I am also starting to have some ab definition show through!!! (YAY!)
BUT, along with these physical changes, the biggest and best changes I have noticed are in the gym- I have squatting 60kilos 10 x3, I am able to now perform 3 unassisted pull ups, and I am back deadlifting and skipping which I feel are the last things I was still unable to do post c-section. I still cannot put any weight on my hips/pelvis- so I still cannot do hip thrusts or weighted glute exercises that require weights placed on the hips. But considering I am now still only 3 months postpartum, I am happy with my recovery so far.
I am amazed at how quickly my body has started to respond now that I am actually trying really hard with my nutrition and training. It feels so motivating to see the progress, but it feels even more amazing to see progress and photos like these on my instagram feed:

Define property and budget
There are some questions you need to consider before you start looking for a house.
What type of property are you looking for and what will it be used for?
- Holiday Home
- Investment for reselling
- Investment for letting
- Permanent residence
- For retirement
Other considerations
- Do you need a mortgage or will you pay cash
- Which area
- Should it be in the city or country side
- In a gated community or by itself
- Size, bedrooms, bathrooms etc.
- Private or community pool and garden
- New construction or resale
Our experience is that you do not always know exactly what you are looking for and once you have seen a few properties you get a better sense of what you like. But try to define as many of these things as you can.
Finance and budgeting
The price of the property is not the final cost of buying the property. There are several other costs added to the price. You should add at least 10% to the price of the property to get the final price and some times up to 13%.
There is a transfer tax or VAT of 8-10% that needs to be paid depending on the type of property and the price. Stamp duty for new-build.
Lawyer and notary public
The standard price for the lawyer is 1% and for the notary public can be a fixed fee or can also be a percentage of the price of the property.
Exchange rates
If your own currency is not Euros, then you have to taken the exchange rate into consideration which. This is an important aspect and it can save a lot of money talking to different banks and negotiate a good price.
Other costs
Land registry fee, getting a NIE number and power of attorney
Running costs
When calculating the budget for the house, apart from the costs of buying the house it is also important to include the running costs
Community fees
In gated communities or apartment buildings there are monthly fees that pays for maintenance of the common areas. The price depends on how big the common areas are, if there is a swimming pool, gardens etc.
The price of course vary a lot depending on coverage and value of the house.
Utility services
Electricity, water, internet etc.
There will always be maintenance costs on a property. Depending on the age of the property these can be higher. New construction will usually not require much maintenance in the beginning.
Property Tax
Annual property tax called the IBI. The tax is based on the public value of the house which cannot be higher than 50% of the market value of the house.
Real estate agent
Once you want to start looking is to find the right real estate agent. Someone who knows the area and is willing to spend the time it takes to find you the right property and also help you past just buying the property. Finding a builder, opening bank accounts and other things that are necessary for starting a life in Spain.
On the Costa del Sol there are many real estate agents that work together, so if you have an agent he can usually show you most properties even though they are not listed with him.
Legal advice
When buying a property in Spain you need a lawyer specialized in Spanish law who can guide and advise you and make sure the house is completely legal (quite a few illegal houses have been built in Spain) and investigate if there is any debt, fines etc. The lawyer should also help you if you plan to make any modifications to the house, because in some cases remodeling of the house is not allowed. Make sure this is all taken care of before you buy the house.
The lawyer can also help you with a will so the new property is covered.
A notary public is also going to be involved in the signing of the contracts. The notary represents everybody and nobody. He should see that the property purchase process is carried out correctly.
You are free to choose your own lawyer and notary public. We can recommend some that we trust and know do good and independent work. If you choose your own make sure they are registered with the Colegio de Abogados (Spanish bar association) Remember at good lawyer will make things a lot easier for you and make sure you do not have any legal problems with the house in the future.
Found property you want to buy
To buy a property in Spain it is necessary to get a NIE number. This is a Spanish identification/tax number. You can make an application through a local police station or have your attorney do it. They will need a power of attorney to do it. You can do this at a later time, but you might as well get it done so it is out of the way.
Open bank account
Once you have your NIE number you can open a bank account which you need for paying water, electricity etc.
Reservation contract to take the property of the market
Make a reservation or holding agreement. This expresses your intent to buy the property and the seller will take the property of the market. Here you usually pay a deposit of €3000-€6000.
Private purchase contract with get out clauses
A purchase contract is made and 10% of the purchase price is paid to the lawyer. The deposit for the reservation contract is deducted.
Legal searches
The lawyer will do legal searches to check if there is any debt in the house, illegal constructions etc.
Finalize purchase with notary
The remainder of the purchase price is paid at the Notary.
Other things to consider
In Spain properties are bought as you see it. If the owner has to make any repairs then this must be included in the contract. If it is bought furnised then a list of furniture must be included in the contract.
Insurance is mandatory.

Cork residues
|Mota, Dora [et al]. Lead bioremoval by cork residues as biosorbent. In: ECOWOOD 2006 - 2nd International Conference on Environmentally-Compatible Forest Products, Fernando Pessoa University, Oporto, Portugal, September 20-22, 2006, p. 251-264
|The intensification of industrial activity during the last few years has greatly contributed to the increase of heavy metals in the environment, mainly in the aquatic systems [1]. Conventional technologies traditionally used for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions are expensive and inefficient at low metal concentrations [2]. Biosorption, which is a property of different types of biomass (biosorbents) to bind and concentrate heavy metals from even very dilute aqueous solutions, is one of the most promising technologies that can be used for this purpose [3]. The goal of this work was to study the bioremoval process of Pb(II) ions from aqueous dilute solutions by cork granulates (1-2 mm) from a Portuguese cork processing company. The effect of physico-chemical parameters such as initial metal solution, pH, biomass cork pre-treatments and initial metal and biosorbent concentrations on the metal removal efficiency were investigated. The maximum Pb(II) uptake capacity (Qmax) of cork biomass was also determined from the Langmuir isotherm. The results obtained showed that the optimum initial pH for Pb(II) removal was in the range 3-4, leading to removal yields of about 90-100% for initial metal concentrations of 10-100 mg/L. Cork biomass without treatment provided a higher removal yield (93%) than the biomass submitted to previous extraction with deionised water (80%), ethyl acetate (83%) and ethanol (88 %). The Langmuir model showed a very good correlation with experimental results (r2=0.995) and the Qmax was determined as being 5.3 mg Pb(II)/g cork. The optimisation of continuous bioremoval of Pb(II) (10 mg/L) from 25 L of influent, regarding metal uptake yield and volume of effluent containing a Pb(II) concentration 1 mg/L (MAV), was carried out by the factorial design methodology, leading to the establishment of the best operating conditions. In these conditions, two fixed bed-reactors (operational liquid volume of each reactor containing 20g of biosorbent=138 mL) running in sequential mode (feed flow rate - 590 mL/h) were more efficient (effluent volume with [Pb(II)] 1 mg/L=10 L) than one reactor alone (effluent volume with [Pb(II)] 1 mg/L=5 L). Finally, the chemical characterization in terms of CQO, TOC and phenolic compounds of the effluent before discharge showed that all values were lower than the ones allowed by environmental legislation.

The third installment to Lee Tim-sing's (李添勝) Rosy Business franchise <巾幗梟雄系列> doesn't seem to be as solid as its predecessors, and the poor ratings are definitely showing it.
The controversial No Reserve <巾幗梟雄之諜血長天>, which had its premiere on TVB's streaming service myTV SUPER in October, is currently airing the abridged version on TVB's network, Jade. The first five episodes received a low average rating of 20.6 points, and Saturday's episode hit an all-time low for a TVB drama, reaching only 14.9 points—only 967,000 viewers watched the episode.
There are some things to consider in regards to the low turnout—all 30 original episodes of No Reserve had already aired on the streaming service myTV SUPER, so a lot of people have already seen it. The drama is also airing during the infamous holiday canon-fodder time slot, which means less people are at home watching it. Saturday's episode—which only attained 14.9 points—was on Christmas Eve.
But amidst the low ratings and criticism on the flawed script, viewers have been quite impressed with the actors' performances on the show, and especially in the latest episode, which got netizens feeling both mortified and impressed.
*Contains spoilers*
The latest episode took a strange turn last night when Cheung Kei-sang (portrayed by Myolie Wu 胡杏兒) encounters her former lover, the now psychotic Cheung Sai-kia (portrayed by Edwin Siu 蕭正楠) and saves him from danger. After eating some porridge—his lips slobbered with jook—Sai-kia suddenly goes manic and tries to rape Kei-sang.
Sai-kia stops after he catches sight of a pair of woven grasshoppers, which reminded him of his childhood and his time with Kei-sang in the village. He releases her, apologizes, and tells Kei-sang that he still loves her despite what they have gone through. Feeling heartbroken, Kei-sang kisses him, and the two end up sleeping together.
Kei-sang regrets sleeping with Sai-kia, as her heart is now with Kong Sheung-hung (portrayed by Wayne Lai 黎耀祥). She breaks down in front of Sheung-hung, telling him that she's too dirty and unworthy for him, but true love conquers all, and Sheung-hung proposes to her in the end.
