General Brief on Education
General: Education is an important plank of India-UK bilateral relationship. The UK government attaches importance to developing a special relationship with India in the field of education. During the visit of UK PM Cameron to India in February 2013, the delegation accompanying the Prime Minister included Universities and Science Minister David Willetts and representatives from leading UK universities, colleges and institutions, who met their counterparts to discuss ways to further deepen the education links. According to the Department for Business Innovation & Skills of UK, the British Universities have hugely increased the level of collaboration with their Indian counterparts and the new links.
2. UK Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Nick Clegg visited India from 25-27 August, 2014. Higher education was one of the agendas for bilateral cooperation between India and UK. PM and Nick Clegg talked about further cooperation in an area where India and UK already have very strong and historic links. Prospects of bringing teachers from the UK's top institutions to teach in India and the opportunities for cooperation in vocational training were discussed. UK aims to attract more international students in the near future. Approximately 34 UK Universities have opened offices in India and are approaching students even from small towns in India besides the four metropolitan cities.
3. Prime Minister's visit to the UK: During the visit of the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi to the UK on 12-13 November 2015, the following announcements relating to education were made :
4. Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Sajid Javid and the Minister for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson, recently visited Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bangalore from December 9-11, 2015, accompanied by a large academic delegation including Vice Chancellors of Universities of Birmingham, Warwick, Nottingham and Leicester. The visit was aimed at conveying messages about the quality and employability benefits of a UK university education; demonstrated to Indian students that the UK warmly welcomes India's brightest and best students to UK's world-class universities; and promoted the impressive range of partnerships on education, science, research and skills that are now key pillars of the bilateral relationship. The Ministers met HRM, Minister of Science & Technology, Minister of Skills and the Finance Minister. During the visit, an event to launch 2016 UK-India Year of Education, Research and Innovation was held which was attended by HRM, senior Indian officials and faculty, school and college principals, education agents, students, business organizations and media. In other events, the Ministers re-confirmed the announcements made during the Indian Prime Minister's visit to the UK on November 12, 2015.
5. Indian Students: The UK has traditionally been a favourite destination for international students. Management, computing, engineering, media studies, art and design are the preferred courses of the Indian students. The number of Indian students in the UK from 2003-04 to 2013-14 for higher Education, are as below:

6. Presently, there are approximately 18-19,000 Indian students pursuing Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses in the UK. However, in recent past, the number of Indian students enrolling in the UK Universities has come down by around 50%. One factor is the closure of the old Tier 1 Post Study work route in 2012. Changes introduced by UK mean foreign students (non-EU) will only be able to remain in UK, if they get a graduate level job with a salary of at least 20,000/- (or the going rate for the job).
7. PM Cameron during his visit to India in February 2013 reaffirmed that "Britain warmly welcomes Indian students to the UK". Both sides expressed interest in further enhancing the mobility and exchange of students between India and the UK. In his address at the Commonwealth Games Business Conference in Glasgow on July 23, 2014, PM Cameron defended the Government policy of keeping "no cap" on number of students and control over immigration but allowing work study visa only for those with "Graduate level jobs".
8. The Minister for Immigration, James Brokenshire, in his written statement in the House of Commons on Immigration Rules on July 13, 2015 stated "The Government are reforming the student visa system to reduce net migration and tackle abuse. These changes will help achieve this, while ensuring the UK maintains a highly competitive offer and continues to attract the brightest and best international students."
9. High Commissioner has held regular meetings Minister for Universities, Science and Cities Greg Clark and Minister for Security & Immigration James Brokenshire to discuss issues related to Indian students in the UK particularly w.r.t. sponsors suspension of institutions, support for students at institutions with license revoked, student visa requirements (IELTS), immigration issues and post study work visa. During the Meetings, UK side has admitted that the repeal of the post-study work visa has been the most important reason for the drop in the number of Indian students coming to the UK. HC had suggested options of refining the post-study work visa.
10. Subsequently HC met with Ms Nicola Dandridge, Chief Executive, Universities UK and it was agreed to work together to push for some positive changes to the UK's immigration system for the benefit of Indian students coming to study in the UK. A joint paper setting out some of the major issues for Indians students and some recommended actions is being drawn up to summarize the existing issues and outline the meaningful action needed to address the stark decline in the number of Indian students coming to the UK.
11. Bilateral mechanisms: The partnership between UK and India cuts across all segments of the education sector. The following mechanisms have been set up over the years.
12. The bilateral cooperation in the education sector got a platform with the setting up of India-UK Education Forum in pursuance of the India-UK Summit between Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Major aims of the Forum are to promote links between British and premier educational institutions in India, including collaboration for the establishment of IIT Punjab, Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER) Pune, one IIM and one Central University.

Cindy Lin
Head Instructor
About the Instructor
A third-generation small business owner, Cindy has been working since she had baby teeth. Cindy founded Staged4more® in early 2006 while she was working as a buyer's agent. Having worked with buyers was a great advantage to building Staged4more. Through her experiences as a real estate agent, Cindy understands how to reshape raw spaces into stylish show properties that fit into buyers' potential lifestyles and target markets.
During her 10+ years in the home staging industry, Cindy has received notable accolades such as Make Mine A $Million Business Award, Sam Walton Emerging Entrepreneur Award, and was a finalist for Real Estate Staging Association's Stager of the Year and Innovative Stager of the Year Award in 2009. Additionally, Cindy has appeared in major press outlets like the Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, San Mateo County Times, HGTV, and many other media outlets.
Outside of staging, Cindy has developed products (see our sister company EcoJoe®) that have appeared in press outlets like Apartment Therapy, CBS 5 News and Entrepreneur Magazine. In additions to home staging, Cindy has worked in other visual & creative fields for companies like Anthropologie, Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue creating visual displays in their stores and windows. She has also freelanced for wardrobe and prop stylists on advertising and editorial photo shoots and sometimes freelanced as a florist. All these experiences help Cindy hone her aesthetics as a creative individual and enabling her to produce visuals that sell both online and in person.
Are you starting a new home staging business? Or feeling stuck in your current business? I can help you bringing the CHA-CHING and AH-HA! back into your business.
Through my 10+ years in the real estate and design industry, I've learned many tough (and sometimes expensive) business lessons that can make you cringe and cry. BUT, I'm here to help you not to do that.
Through many trials and errors (and some very costly mistakes), I've learned to develop processes, systems and values that grew my business organically and healthily to a 6-figure business.
Additionally, I've also had extensive education in creative fields, ranging from home staging, styling, floristry to photography. I've studied under internationally renowned stylists and photographers and freelanced for well-known, international big businesses. I can bring in unique insights and perspectives and tap into my diverse backgrounds and education to work with you on your business.
The session is conducted over Skype. During our session, I'll candidly answer your questions. You'll be able to ask me anything.
Your session will be recorded. After your session, I'll email you the mp3 file for your future reference.
Once you had purchased the session, you'll also receive a PDF download for pre-call instructions.
I look forward to helping your business grow!

You'd forget how slow and boring soccer is after not watching it for a few months. Leading 1-0 but under pressure.
Why do we always sit back when we're a goal up?
Shocking altogether , its tortuous watching this team . Reminds me of the Dubs way back .
Then we go 1-2 and we're all over them. Crazy. 2-2 now- back in our shell so.
Their keeper is more like a zoo keeper.
Hard to comprehend.
Harder again is that yerman is the best keeper in Serbia.
They are uncomfortable when in a leading position , always the case .
Daryl Murphy only 68 behind Robbie Keane now.
Is that Dunphy on the panel or a parody of Dunphy ... who cares. Clueless.
Brady is right. We're smash and grab merchants.
Wes, Wes, Wes, Wes ....
That was dreadful.
Not knowing a lot about the game, what's our chance tonight? The team has injuries galore i believe, will it be worth watching? Or should I watch another re-run of last Saturday??
Very hard to watch soccer after the game last weekend. But I'm nothing if not a patriot, as I've said before, if Ireland were playing tiddlywinks, I'd support them!!!
Am I alone watching this tonight?
Just spotted the Green Hulk , he gets around !
Was thinking the same thing. Christ soccer is dull. We're getting bossed. Hoping for a flukey long ball/set piece goal as always.
They could easily be 2 up
Panel said it at half time, we did enough in Euros, now FAI think we're world beaters.
I don't listen to a panel when Dunphy is on it... He's almost become a spitting image parody of himself.
I've switched to Extreme Crankworx World Tour on Sky Sports, basically going down big hills on x-bike... Brilliant

The Chair of the Indigenous Cultures Institute, Dr Mario Garza, recently issued a letter announcing their new online journal, Nakum. Dr. Garza says "We started this journal not only to promote our mission, but to offer a public forum through which our people can speak with their own voice, from their own perspectives."
The Indigenous Cultures Institute was founded by members of the Meakan/Garzas Band, one of the over two-hundred bands that resided in Texas and northeastern Mexico when the Spaniards first arrived.
The Institute organized the local Native community to provide education and information about Native Americans, particularly from this area, southern Texas, and northern Mexico. More than 200 Native American groups were populating what is now central and southern Texas and northeastern Mexico when the Spanish conquistadores first arrived. The majority of research about these groups — collectively named Coahuiltecans — is scarce and little is known about their culture and history.

Block B did 3 songs back to back without any rest, but their performances didn't get broadcasted
Only the part where they were leaving the stage was broadcasted
2. They decided to cast boring MCs and they were rude on top of it
They laughed at Ryu Junyeol giving his award speech in English as if they were belittling him
They were calling Jo Jinwoong an uncle and asking him if he was exhausted
They kept bringing that up and acting rude
3. When they were introducing BTS,
the screen's caption read "They embezzled/stole the 26th place on Billboard's chart"
(t/n: basically they worded as if they "snatched" it and that they took the 26th place by "cheating")
4. They had no idea as to what to do with the sound system and the camera
when Blackpink were doing their stage, the sound suddenly speed up 2x as a fast
and you couldn't hear anything from their mics
5. They said that the award was 100% based on votes
but the results were different from the votes
they already knew who the winners were
if so why did they made the people pay to vote?
6. The overall atmosphere was a mess, when the artists were performing you could hear the staffs talking
7. The MCs kept doing inside jokes and dragging the time
8. The most hilarious part = The artists who won the awards had to take the awards by themselves and come up on stage with itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's the first time seeing an award ceremony doing something like that
post response:

- ㅇㅇ |2016.11.16 23:02
- Here's the meaning for "embezzlement" (t/n: the word they used for BTS' caption)

- t/n: embezzlement of the public's money
- ㅇㅇ |2016.11.16 21:37
- My expressions were so stiff when I watched that camera guy swinging his head around and skipping so much stage time because of that, and the sound system was just hopelessㅋㅋ I went on Youtube to watch Blackpink's stage and it was so bad, and this is only one stageㅋㅋㅋI think I might throw up if I watched the whole thing f*ck

Reel dubbed in 1979 by Will Boswell from Jerry Garcia's personal collection. Original recording made by the sound crew at the soundboard. It is assumed that the 1979 dub came direct off of the master. This is the same master recording that is heard on shnid=6019, but casts that lineage into question as this transfer is a clear upgrade.
While you may find this to be one of the very best sounding 1973 audience recordings you have encountered, please note the persistence of wind noise here and there throughout the show. Ambient most of the time, mildly distracting only occasionally, and intrusive only a handful of times, the wind element in no way overshadows the brilliance of the recording, but bears mentioning, none-the-less.

text: Tried to leave the house this morning, got stuck for a bit and then managed to get out the street. Anyways, the indicators felt like signalling in opposite directions, not signalling at all. Sometimes it would flash once left and then right and then left again! But they're fine now as the car has warmed up. Anyone else experienced anything like this???

Five in a row for the Chiefs as Blues see lead slip away
The Chiefs achieved a fifth successive victory after coming from behind to dispatch the Blues 29-23 at Stadium Waikato.
The Blues had built a 20-10 lead early in a lively second half but this season's Super Rugby pacesetters responded with tries from fly-half Aaron Cruden and centre Seta Tamanivalu to draw level.
Full-back Damian McKenzie landed the conversion before the result was assured when New Zealand lock Brodie Retallick crashed over from short range with two minutes remaining.

Windows Explorer opens Nav Pane full width
I have used the tutorial on this site to add my Computer to the nav pane as I am a school Admin and need it for the mapped drives and not libraries. Its added fine and deleted what I wanted but when i open up my computer or their homefolder its expanding the nav pane the full width of the screen with a slim bit at the right for the folders. I can't seem to reset this as everytime I reboot it goes back to how it looked before.
Anyone had this or has a solution to fix it? I have tried a few things including the resetshell file on this site.. and I found a shell32.dll which moved it to the right but my computer still covers all the nav pane.
If that can't help then I may need to disabel the nav pane altogether but I can't find that either as GP doesn't have any obvious solutions.

Have you tried dragging the edge to the left when you get the double arrow? Look at screenshot below it does not show the double arrow for some reason the screenshots will not pick it up but you should get one there.
If you have tried that already do Option 2 of this tutorial SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to find and repair any corrupt system files that you have.
If you wish to turn off the navigation pane look at this tutorial Navigation Pane - Turn On or Off

St.Peter's Church, Swingfield
In a letter sent to all participates to the Church's proposed Redundancy Scheme for St. Peter's Church, Swingfield, the Bishop of Dover has outlined what he sees is the way forward for this historic building.
After analysing all the options, their practicalities with their costs, he has come to the conclusion that the best way of conserving St. Peter's fabric is to allow it to become a private residence with certain provisos.
Contained within the report below are his reasons behind rejecting the bid from 'The Friends of St. Peter's'.
The Bishop in Canterbury
Redundant church of Swingfield St Peter: proposed redundancy scheme
Swingfield Parish Council New Councillor
The Parish Council elected Steven Godden of Swingfield Street to fill the recent vacancy that arose because of the resignation of Paul Major. The election was contested by two candidates.
St. Peter's Church, Swingfield
The Chairman reported to the Council about the three meetings he had had with Church representatives both here and in London with the aim of securing Council policy and interests, and thus hopefully improving the current Redundancy Scheme ahead of the meeting of the Redundant Churches Committee in London on the 18th.October.
He reminded Councillors that planning for residential use had already been granted four years ago and that the Church was now keen to progress matters. Furthermore the Church has made it abundantly clear in writing that they are not interested in the proposals of the Friends of St. Peter's.
The Chairman reported that the Church had agreed to the following:
1. No area of the Churchyard is to be enclosed.
2. There will be a sitting out area to the north of the Church and approximately bounded by the Yew trees with no delineations on the ground.
3. The Churchyard will remain an 'open' Churchyard. i.e. the current uses and visiting rights will remain.
4. One will be able to visit the inside of the converted church on giving reasonable notice to the Lessee,
5. No vehicles of any description to use either the church or village green path, except should it be necessary during the period of restoration.
6. Continued protection for the Lych gate and War Memorial and use as a war memorial.
7. No permitted development rights.
8. The Church to come to a separate legal agreement with the Parish Council over the path of an oil pipe for central heating and to indemnify the Parish Council against any possible damage to the village green/path, now and into the future.
9. The above clauses to be clearly set out in the Redundancy Scheme or the Heads of Terms Agreement.
The Council ratified these points and agreed that the Chairman of the Council will represent them in London on the 18th.October, with the discretion to do what is necessary at the meeting to carry out Council policy.

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for cartoons worth watching. It could be the latest Pixar movie, some animated TV series you've never seen, or a few bite-sized shorts to enjoy while you're eating your breakfast cereal.
Who doesn't love a good short film? Disney and Pixar put them ahead of most of their movies in theaters as a sort of appetizer, and sometimes I end up liking the short a little bit more than the movie. As good as Finding Dory was, who didn't fall in love with Piper?
So when I need something to fill five minutes I tend to browse the internet for cartoon shorts. YouTube has a surprising wealth of them, the good and the bad. Here's some of the best I've found.
5. CG Bros.
Though their main focus is VFX breakdowns and showreels, the channel also showcases a wide variety of CGI and hybrid animations. There's a lot of talent on display here and a lot of range, so there should be something for everyone.
- Recommendations: "Gea" by Primer Frame, "Song of the Knights" by Ringling College, "The Life of Death" by Marsha Onderstijn
4. Mad Artist Publishing
This channel belongs to a publishing group specializing in art books and other resources for art and animation students, so of course their channel reflects that focus. You might find the educational and behind-the-scenes videos they share interesting, but even if you don't, they feature plenty of animated shorts of all kinds.
- Recommendations: "Second Wind" by Ian Worrel, "Red" by Hyunjoo Song & CalArts, "The Deep" by University of Hertfordshire
3. Cartoon Hangover
This is the second most widely-known channel on this list. You may not know Frederator Studios by name, but you'll know some of their productions — does The Fairly OddParents ring a bell? Or maybe you've heard of Adventure Time? All creations of Frederator Studios. They're also behind those 107 Facts videos, and an upcoming short film based on the Costume Quest RPG. But Cartoon Hangover is perhaps known best for the webseries "Bravest Warriors," among other delightful animated shorts.
- Recommendations: "Bee and Puppycat," "Blackford Manor"
2. Mickey Mouse
Of course, the new Mickey Mouse shorts are amazing, and that's this channel's main focus as of a year ago. Those are worth watching and re-watching, no doubt. And if you're into abridged classics, the channel features "Have a Laugh" cartoons as well. If you dig deeper into some of their older videos you'll find their "Disney Favorites" series, which showcased notable animated shorts from all around. A few notables include "Figaro Pho" and "Simon's Cat." It's a shame they stopped doing this.
Recommendations: "Motorbike" by Mechanical Apple, "When I Grow Up" by Colin Hesterly, "Kagemono: The Shadow Folk" by Sabrina Cotugno, "Ku'u Lei Melody" by Disney
1. Gobelins
This is the official channel for Gobelins School of the Image, a French visual arts college best known for its animation department, which has taught many students who would later go on to work for Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and other big names in the animation industry. A few notable alumni include Bibo Bergeron and Pierre Coffin. Don't want to look them up? That's A Monster in Paris and Despicable Me. This channel's shorts range from the strange to the stranger, but every one of them is beautiful, and by far my favorite place to look for artistic, entertaining, original short films.
Recommendations: "The Lighthouse Keeper," "Trois Petits Points," "Au Lapine Agile"
So what are some of your favorite places to watch animated shorts? Let me know in the comments below!

Renekton Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome! I want to show you my Renekton build some other things.
So... runes...
On mark slots set greater mark of desolation x9
On quintessence slots set greater quintessence of desolation x3
This runes are most important for Renekton because his skills except Dominus are physical skills which are dealing physical damage and buffing only from attack damage.
Other slots
On glyph slots set Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist x9
On seal slots set greater seal of defense x9
This runes are for defense and magic resist
My masteries are 25/5/0
I set 25 points for Offense because i like to watch big damage :P
But for Renekton the most important masteries are Weapon Expertise , Sunder and Sorcery because his skills are dealing physical damage and his skill cooldown really slow.
I start with Doran's Blade.
I watch to harass the enemy with my skills and the most important i wait for last hits on minions. Just to farm gold easy. When you collect gold for Ionian Boots of Lucidity go back and buy them. But if you have to go back because you have low health or you are dead and don't have gold to buy Ionian Boots of Lucidity then buy Boots of Speed and one or two Health Potion. Its very important to buy this boots because of your skills.
Second good item for you is The Brutalizer which gives you armor penetration, damage and cooldown reduction
When you buy The Brutalizer buy Ruby Crystal and Long Sword and finish it to Phage.
After that when you buy Phage collect gold for Spirit Visage for more cooldown reduction and health
When you buy Spirit Visage buy Giant's Belt for more health and when you buy Giant's Belt finish Phage and Giant's Belt to Frozen Mallet
After Frozen Mallet buy Chain Vest and Cloak of Agility. After that finish this items to Atma's Impaler
When you buy Atma's Impaler buy Chain Vest again and one Giant's Belt and finish it to Sunfire Cape
Your last item is Youmuu's Ghostblade and set it on first slot of items for easy activating
Skill Sequence
When i start game i start with Ruthless Predator for stun and high damage.
On second level i take Cull the Meek for damaging and healing
On level third i take Slice and Dice to get easy to the target and nice harassing with Slice and Dice Cull the Meek and again Slice and Dice to get out of the enemy
On high levels like forth and fifth i upgrade my skills depends on enemy champions and their damage. I mean if they deal me high damage i upgrade most Cull the Meek to heal myself or i upgrade most Ruthless Predator to stun and high damage ... on level 4 targets like Twisted Fate Ashe Teemo die very fast from your skills. With one using of Ruthless Predator on 50+ fury i take 60% of their health points.
When you reach level 6 take Dominus
And thats all for skills everything depends on your skills with Renekton and your playing style
Summoner Spells
This spells are very important but they too depends on your playing style and depends too on what role you take in the team.
If you are the tank and you want to survive (and your team dont have support) take Heal
If you are the damager its good to take Ignite and Exhaust to debuff the enemy players bur be smart. Dont use exhaust on enemy players with Quicksilver Sash
