Catherine Poirriez has been a practising structural engineer for almost four years, working at Passage Projects for the last three. Here she discusses her work on The Future of Us Gridshell, an eye-catching enclosure consisting of 11,000 perforated aluminium panels, 12,040 Bolts, 11,188 Steel Plates and 4,620 Steel Elements. The Gridshell was erected as part of the Future of Us Exhibition in Singapore and has been shortlisted in The Structural Awards 2016 "Small Practices" Category.
I have always loved building things, so I naturally oriented my studies towards a structural engineering career. My interest for the works of Gaudi and Frei Otto particularly pushed me to work on complex shapes structures.
I have been lucky to work on some great projects during my career, including the design of a 106m span dome in Manila, which I worked on for two years – it's a really big and impressive structure and seeing it almost finished makes me very proud.
The main difference between the Future of Us Gridshell and the other projects I have worked on was the tight schedule, which demanded very close teamwork. The coordination between all the parties had to be super-efficient to ensure that all the parameters – whether aesthetic, structural, fabrication, transport or installation - were taken into account at the same time.
As the Gridshell geometry is very complex we took care to rationalise and define the lines of the structure from the free-form shape given by the architects, Singapore University of Technology and Design Advanced Architecture Laboratory. Again, this required very close collaboration, enabling us to achieve a final geometry in four weeks, fully coordinated between the structure and the facade. In fact, whenever an issue appeared the whole team of contractor, engineers and architects met to discuss it and propose solutions. The boundaries between parties were very blurred and we can truly say that throughout the project we worked as one.
I am really proud with what we achieved with the structure, and was particularly satisfied with the very simple idea to divide it into vertical arches, to rationalise the geometry. When one sees the shape of the Gridshell, this approach is not the most obvious solution - but it turned out to facilitate everyone's work throughout the project.
Speed and simplicity of assembly was a crucial factor in the project's success. One critical aspect was to design a structure that could be simply fabricated and assembled, and this was designed in right from the beginning of the project. This meant that the contractor should be able to fabricate the structure from the easiest material to handle - steel plates - and assemble the structure with the simplest possible tools, which means bolts. This was a major challenge to achieve with a project of such complex geometry as the Gridshell.
When you see the structure's 3D model on the screen of your computer, you never really feel the scale of it - so it is always a pleasure when you see the work completed. When the work was finished we looked around inside and were very impressed by the quality of the space and the shades provided by the aluminium panels.
Clients, architects, engineers or contractors can sometimes be afraid of structures with complex geometries, because it can lead to complicated and costly steel members, connections and facade fixings. I think the main achievement of the Gridshell was the way we redefined the notion of simplicity by expressing a freeform, unusual geometry with basic construction methods - showing that with great design it's possible to achieve a 'simple' complex structure.

HPI reports that finance related issues were one of the biggest cause for claims on its website.
Although finance fraud is believed to be on the decline, HPI has reported that buyers continue to be at risk from the threat of motorists who unlawfully dispose of their vehicles.
There is still a high amount of incidents whereby a vehicle owner will sell their vehicle before they have paid off the outstanding finance under a hire purchase or lease agreement. HPI is warning buyers to watch out for this kind of fraud before making a purchase, to prevent being at risk of losing their cash and the car they believe they own.
Shane Teskey, Senior Consumer Services Manager for www.hpicheck.com said: "When finances are squeezed, we have seen that people use the money raised from the sale of a car to address more pressing, short term, financial pressures and don't pay off the car's outstanding finance agreement itself.
"Roughly a third of motor fraud cases are believed to involve customers selling their car without settling their finance agreement in full. This is known as conversion fraud and really became common place as a result of the recession. Whilst the economic situation is improving, conversion fraud remains an issue. In some cases, customers are not aware that they are not the legal owners of their car and do not realise that selling it is fraud. The finance company remains the owner of a car until all outstanding finance has been paid. At this point, a lender will generally transfer legal ownership to the customer and he/she can then do what they want with the car."
Trusted Dealers offers all of its buyers our very own 10 points of difference promise which guarantees that all of the cars we advertise on the website have benefited from a HPI or Experian check before hitting the forecourt. In this way, we can provide our customers with the peace of mind that the car they are buying has not been lost, stolen, involved in an accident or has any outstanding finance against it.
HPI believes that thousands of UK motorists are driving round in cars that they believe they legitimately own, with many people unlikely to ever discover the truth until they come to sell on the vehicle to someone who conducts a HPI check or they write off the vehicle in an accident. In the case of an accident, the insurance company are duty bound to pay the finance company who technically own the car, not the person who had the accident.
Teskey continues: "Our strong advice is to conduct a history check with a reputable service such as www.hpicheck.com. Never rely on a cheap history check as definitive proof of a vehicles history. Many do not include finance information or other 'Walk-Away' warnings that could cost you thousands in the long run."

HC questions tax dept's seriousness in recovering dues from Mallya
The Bombay high court on Friday questioned the service tax department's seriousness in recovering its dues running into crores of rupees and bringing the guilty to the book while hearing its plea to get back the money from industrialist Vijay Mallya and others.india Updated: Mar 11, 2016 12:49 IST
The Bombay high court on Friday questioned the service tax department's seriousness in recovering its dues running into crores of rupees and bringing the guilty to the book while hearing its plea to get back the money from industrialist Vijay Mallya and others.
Justice CV Bhadang also criticised the department for failing to serve two previous high court notices to Mallya and five other accused in the case on time.
In September and December 2015, the high court had issued the notices summoning them and seeking their response to the Service Tax Department's charges. However, the notices were served to them only in February this year, just a month before Mallya left India for London.
"The notices were issued in September and December last year. If the service tax department was so serious about recovering its dues and bringing the guilty to book, why did it not serve all parties immediately? And why did it wait till March 2 to approach HC again?" Justice Bhadang asked.
The court adjourned the hearing till March 28.
Justice Bhadang was hearing an application filed by the service tax department which was seeking that a previous order of the chief metropolitan magistrate (CMM) that granted Mallya bail in the case of service tax default be quashed. The department has been fighting the case in the HC against Mallya and his now defunct Kingfisher airlines since 2015.
According to its plea, Mallya defaulted on paying a service tax of Rs. 33 crore between 2008 and 2012. The department also alleges that Mallya owns the Centre over Rs. 500 crore as "disputed" service tax.
Following the plea, the high court issued two notices to Mallya and five others. It was later brought to the HC's attention that they had not been served the notices.
After Mallya left India for London earlier this month, the department moved a fresh miscellaneous application seeking an expedited hearing to quash the CMM's previous order.
In 2011, the service tax commissioner had filed a case of fraud and cheating against Mallya alleging that he had defaulted on payment of Rs. 33 crore as service tax dues to the centre. In February 2015, however, the CMM held that the offence was bailable and granted Mallya and five others bail.

Saw this girl on tinder who had her ig linked to her profile. She was a 10/10 to me, so I instantly super liked her, and followed her ig. She followed me back the next day, which surprised me because she had thousands upon thousands of followers. I decided to say something witty and fucked up. She instantly unfollowed after she read my dm. Lesson to be learned here, do not mention Tinder in no shape or form in a DM. My chances were already good (C O P E) because I was able to talk to her through Insta instead of a dating app, but I was not aware of this at the time.

Tips that Maintain Your Home Appliances Properly
In our house, we use many home appliances that need to be taken care of. If you ignore the maintenance, it will stop working one day which means new investment. To avoid this extra cost, you need to maintain your machines and other things properly. There are many ways to maintain these appliances. Here we discussed few common things that will help you to take care of your devices.
Set Reminder
Because we are very busy every day we tend to forget about the repairs that are due. These tasks are actually uninterested tasks, and for that reason also we feel lazy to do them. To get rid of this problem set up a reminder can help us a lot. You can put a note on your refrigerator door or keep a reminder in your electronic device that you see all the time. When you will see them, again and again, it will be difficult to ignore them. You will find some time to do some servicing or repair your stuffs. Maybe time to time you need to clean your machine or take them to the mechanic; a reminder will always help you.
Know What You Have to Do
It is always a good thing to know about your machine properly. They will not only help your to choose a good machine when you buy you can maintain them properly. See the capacity, the nature of your device, the maintenance rules, etc. For instance, the gas in your refrigerator needs to be checked and filled time to time or your pressure washer needs to be cleaned. Your dishwasher might be harmful to a particular kitchen utensil, or your washing machine needs to be sent for servicing. If you know all these, you can easily do them, and if you don't know what you have to do then you will be in the dark. So you must know what you have to do and at what time you have to do them.
Be Careful of Dirt
Dirt is one of the biggest enemies of your electronic devices. The dust comes automatically with the air and gets easily into your machine. You won't even realize when this thing happened. If you go for a short trip for one day and come back next day, you will see the dust accumulates on your table. Now think how much dust goes inside your device every day. The dust prevents the electric devices work properly; they even cause serious injury to all your electric machines. You need to keep them wrapped with polyethylene or put them in a box after using. Clean off the dust from the inside parts of your devices.
Maintain Insurance Policies
All the home appliances are covered under your home insurance policies that you can easily buy. These insurance policies actually give the repair and maintenance cost, and you can keep your mind in peace. When you buy a policy, along with its coverage, you must read all the terms and condition. You cannot ask for the payment of such things that are not included in the policy. Knowing your policy better will save you from an ultimate shock.
Warranty of Home Appliances
Now a day, almost all the electric devices come with a limited time warranty if you buy them from a good company. These warranties are actually a big service that the product manufacturers provide. For example, most of the refrigerators come with around three years of manufacturing warranty. Most of the electric pressure washer or gas pressure washer comes with around two years of manufacturing warranty. You also need to check the warranty type or which parts of your machine covers warranty in order to get the service. For taking the service, you just have to take your machine to their repair center, and sometime they take the device from your home.
The above tips are to make you serious about your home appliances. You can maintain them and be safe and tension free. You can maintain your home by all the tips that will save your time and money. While using a machine, you can also find out some other or better way to maintain your devices.

You've dominated soccer for over a year, and now it's time to run the small sided game with the New Balance Audazo collection, featuring their first range of indoor and turf shoes.
Audazo comes from the combination of two Spanish words, 'Audaz' and 'Golazo ('Bold' and 'Great Goal', respectively, and represents those players who express themselves on the pitch and dazzle the competition with their confidence and skills.
Spec-wise, these new shoes provide comfort and ultra-cushioning with a Fresh Foam insock that gives player freedom of movement. Additional cushioning and shock absorption come from the REVLite midsole.
ProBank midsole is designed to provide support and protection for lateral movements, key for the characteristic quick passing on turf and indoors.
The upper from both versions has a transparent TPU overlay with no sewed panels and a heavy textured toe cap, creating a ball control zone for precise passing and powerful shooting.
The futsal upper is made from a lightweight synthetic material, also featuring mono mesh lateral quarter/tongue. The turf version has a tougher upper, with additional durability and support.
New Balance Audazo collection will be available today at World Soccer Shop.

I love paranormal and historical romance novels. I love talking about books and finding out about new authors and books to read. I also love supporting and promoting my favorite authors.
Please feel free to check out my blog @
I very much looked forward to Brynn and Zael's story since they met in Bound to Darkness. They seemed so passionate even before they gave in to their desires. Zael sees Brynne's horrible past and scars as being why she tries to push him away. He also realizes that after so many years of being nomadic in his travels and lovers, she represents something new that he has never had. He won't give up no matter how much she pushes back and when he sees why she pushes back he acknowledges her fears and proves to her that what he sees when he looks at her is beauty, not monstrous. When they are tasked to go to the Atlantean colony to petition for an alliance, their love and passion are tested. Her insecurities flair, but he proves to her more than once that his attention to her isn't fleeting. He wants her forever. Their love was beautiful and I really liked Zael as a character a lot. Brynne is a strong female lead and her fears and desires to have someone see her for not being the monster Dragos created in his lab creates a beautiful story as Zael sets out to show her that his love is real and permanent. The conflict isn't too complicated in this one, no epic battles and major villains. It has more of an overall conflict that the series is dealing with as a whole; preventing a war and stopping Opus Nostrum from destroying all that they have built in the last 20 years. Once in the colony, the conflict leads to Zael and Brynne becoming even closer and fighting to be together. I enjoyed the story a lot.

It was over.
Never to be done again.
K is done nursing. I have been stressing for weeks over how I was going to wean her. She was only nursing twice a day - morning and night - but she seemed so in to it. Bedtime nursing was part of her routine. Would she go to bed without her nightly fix?
Then last Saturday night she just stopped. We sat down after her bath and she refused to nurse. Her nose was a little stuffy and she was fighting an ear infection, but she'd been nursing through it. I was shocked when she just flat out refused me. To calm her crying and her repeated signing* for milk, I got a bottle out, warmed some soy milk, and gave it to her. She downed the bottle, handed it to me, put her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. I put her in her crib.
And that was that.
She's officially weaned.
I was slightly traumatized by the whole situation. My baby is making decisions for herself; expressing who she is and what she wants and doesn't want. She was fully satisfied holding the bottle by herself. She is becoming little miss independent.
I'm sad that nursing her is over. But I'm also so happy. Nursing is a blessing and a curse. It is healthy and a wonderful bonding experience, but when you're the only one who can do it it can be overwhelming (and painful, especially at the beginning and when those little teeth come in). I didn't think I would enjoy nursing K as much as I did. And I'm sad that she brought it to an abrupt close. I wasn't prepared. She was in control; not me.
Thankfully I have the emotional capacity to handle this transition and to deal with it. Maybe it's better this way... it was easy on her (but not on poor me).
K is 100% on soy milk these days. And she still likes to cuddle in the morning, before naps, and at bedtime. Cuddling makes me very happy. I'll take her laying on my chest, pulling my hair, and drinking her milk any day.
*signing - we have been using sign language with K for several months now. And it is wonderful. She lets us know when she wants "milk" and "more". She can also sign for "all done" and is quickly picking up on "please", which we have taught her so she stops whining/screaming when she wants something out of her reach.
1 year check-up: K went in for her well check at 13 months. Little girl is still really little - weighing in at 17 lbs 4 oz. This puts her in the 5th percentile for weight. She's going to be sitting backwards in her carseat for a long time. Otherwise she is healthy and developing nicely. She did have an ear infection diagnosed at her well check and is on some antibiotics. Her "fang" teeth and molars are all coming in right now. She's had a lot of Tylenol recently.

Shocking! Illegal immigration protesters attacked, pushed into traffic Posted: November 17, 2009 ~ 10:13 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily Che Guevara supporters with a radical pro-amnesty coalition viciously attacked and bludgeoned tea party protesters at a Florida anti-illegal-immigration rally, including a 62-year-old man who was beaten and kicked in the face. Americans for Legal Immigration PAC called for "Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration" to form quickly across the nation on Nov. 14. In less than 30 days, protests were scheduled for more than 50 towns and cities. But two Fort Lauderdale, Fla., tea party protesters were brutally beaten by pro-amnesty activists on the day of the nationwide rally as they attempted to film Florida's Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition counterprotest. ANSWER members carried Che Guevara signs and other black and yellow placards that stated "Full rights for all immigrants." They shouted, "Amnesty yes, racists no!" As the two men attempted to film the protest, an ANSWER member in a black tanktop and blue jeans lunged after one of the cameramen and beat him with a sign, pushing him into traffic. Another ANSWER member in a white T-shirt attacked the same cameraman while the victim defended himself with what appears to be a camera tripod. A female tea party protester began screaming as Dave Caulkett of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement and the initial ANSWER attacker fought in the middle of the street. The following is a video of the attack released by ALIPAC:[CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

If you had a chance to do another university degree what would you chose?
Would you pick something that you liked or something that would provide better career options?
At the moment I am having difficulty deciding what I want to do, most of the course I see that I am interested in don't really provide much employment. Think I might go with computer science.
- PickledOeuf and moker this'd this
I did something for the love of the subject
in retrospect, I wish I'd done a proper split subject, like Maths and Philosophy, or History and Economics
English Literature
I regretted not doing it when I was a college, so I did and A level for pleasure when I was 27. I'd love to do a degree sometime.
I wish I'd applied for something useful, instead of English.
I also wish I'd had a bit of confidence in my results and applied to a proper red brick university, instead of a new university.
Yeah I had the problem when going to university of not really knowing what I wanted to do.
And as a result ended up doing something that doesn't really get me anything career wise. At the moment I am thinking if I was in anything that allowed me to be creative I would get on well .
Probably one of those courses that sound like a bit of a pissing take
But would probably get you a job a bit easier than an academic subject does.
Either that or aeronautical engineering - was what I wanted to do, then it turned out I was a thick bastard when it came to A level physics and maths...
Commercial Music or something similar
Playing in bands for 3 years? Yes please.
- josh this'd this
music composition would be sweet
I am glad I did the useful degree first mind. It got interesting eventually.
don't think i'm really cut out for academia but i quite like my course
wish i did different gcses and a levels though
actually really glad I didn't go at 18
as I'd probably have done history or plolitics and found myself in exactly this position right nowElaina_Casoolare this'd this
Kinda why I'm glad I did, in converse
Probably not the best career choice, but I got to do something I was interested in before adult life got too vice-likeautomatik this'd this
Electronic engineering & cabinet making
it would be great to have my own synth workshop basicallyincandenza_ this'd this
I think it's a fascinating, but relatively young, field of study.skellywager this'd this
I'm ok with my degree
and I am going to be doing another one in a different discipline. I don't have a problem with my degree discipline per se, just think it could be taught with a broader range of perspectives and with more interaction with other humanities subjects. Like, none of the stuff I'm interested in academically stems from the actual curriculum.
actually I'm well glad I did law and I was good at it
hopefully that along with a research masters in sociology and social theory will sort me out for jobs.
Where are you doing your masters? I'm currently looking into studying for an MA in Social Research (or something vaguely similar to this) next year and am trying to get my head round it all
MRes at Glasgow hopefully
It suits me cause the modules are all about my kinda things, it's ESRC approved and my parents live 25 mins walk from the university (and it doesn't actually look that difficult and I'll have time to work alongside it).
Korean, I guess
I don't really care about employment or whatever though.
oh man
if I was studying Korean I'd be spending my year abroad in Seoul instead of fucking Kyoto :-(
Why couldn't I have discovered k-pop 3 and a half years earlier :-(
Oh well.
I'm in a kanji <3 <3 <3 phase at the moment for some reason, so it's not all bad.
Seoul isn't all that srsly
Hongdae's alright I guess, bit boring after a while though. Itaewon can be fun but has this aggressive US armybro undercurrent. And Gangnam is just loathsome yuppies/plastic surgery monsters.
But I guess you'd appreciate it more because pretty much everywhere you look you'll see G-Dragon's face on a massive billboard gazing down at you trying to sell you something.
Umm, I've already lived there
in Sinchon & Hongdae. Getting the metro to City Hall and sitting with my feet in cheonggyecheon in the middle of the night will never not be my favourite thing. So perfect.
Never once stepped foot it in Itaewon. May have been in Gangnam once or twice? Can't really remember.
Also, and much more importantly, I FUCKING HATE BIG BANG. Seriously. Urghhhhhhh. The actual worst. Please don't think that of me. SM4LYFetc.
I don't really care about k-pop much when I'm in Seoul. It's just a great place to live.
ah fair enough
yeah, it's alright here for sure particularly around the area you were living, just seems a bit limited compared to London. Plus, my work is fucking horrendous and that's kinda souring the whole experience a bit I guess.
random kpop sidenote, did you see the orange caramel/nu'est christmas thing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us1EjTo80WE so cute it made me feel violently sick
Also, this thread has helped me
in making up my mind to try and not switch subjects. Mainly because I now remember that people that study stupidly generic subjects like history and english are boring as fuck. seriously. the actual worst. GET A PERSONALITY FFS.
Feel free to point out that you're an exception to the rule. The rule still stands.
Nah, it's the Humanities students.
There's nothing more dull in this universe than people.
did history
would do history again probably though i did consider psychology at college. Always planned on going into teaching so i never worried about career prospects and just did what i enjoyed most
got politics & media and politics
doing information science
would quite like to do English or medieval history or classics
Should have applied for maths and not physics.
Currently having interviews for physics and trying to make it seem like I really want to do physics while asking how hard it would be to change to maths :/
as an undergrad?
I think most universities are fairly understanding once you get in. One of the girls I lived with in my first year changed twice.
Depending where you go physics and some of the applied mathematics or mathematic modelling people might actually be based in the same faculty too which would make things even easier. The guys from the mathematics modelling lab I work with are based in Engineering and Environment, and I'm sure there are others in the sciences and some doing pure maths somewhere else.
i studied music
was a bad idea. should've physics or music tech i reckon. problem is that i did music, music tech and philosophy for A level and i was shit at philosophy so there weren't many options...
did engineering as a sensible job-centric choice.
worked as an engineer for a year. did design as an indulgence. not working as a designer. working as an engineer, cos that's where the jobs are. summary: i did both and i still don't properly know the answer. so i advise you to do both. job-centric one first. especially if you don't know what to do. glad i could help out.
Now you mention design
Reminds me that I'd also be interested in doing digital/Internet design, but I'd do a diploma rather than a bachelor degree, coz all is want is enough training to get to a certain level and then I'd start self-teaching.
Design as a degree isn't very useful.
My brother is a self taught, went to uni twice and left because he was on the wrong course now he's designing massive international bank's sites. He'd also tell you that there are far too many kids coming out of uni that feel 'entitled' to a job.
I'd mainly be interested in doing a design course
because I wouldn't do it if it weren't a structured thing, with deadlines for assignments and stuff. I taught myself html 1 and 2 (way back when that was as high as html went) using an online thingy, but I just know that if I tried to learn flash and things like that independently I'd fuck around with stuff for half a day and then get distracted by other things. Once I acquired a certain level of expertise, though, I'd be more inclined to follow through with learning new stuff.
I think taking a diploma is much better idea.
It's a practical subject, getting your portfolio/book in front of people's eyes is what you need to do.
surely that would be hell
at least, I entertained the idea for a while and then concluded it would be hell
the one person I knew who did PPE at Oxford went on to work at WH Smith
I considered changing to it at the end of my first year.
(not at Oxford though, obv)
Ed Milliband studied PPE at Oxford
Only he subsequently dropped philosophy.
did: lit
wish: accounting, engineering, music, music tech, biomedical sciences, linguistics
wish i'd deferred and applied with my eventual results
oh shit
computer science i wiiiiiiiiish
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accounting
wish: accountingmoker this'd this
this is a thread of fantasy
fantasy and wonder
your other choices sound interesting though
there can be a hell of a lot of problem solving and creative thinking involved in accounting
tax law (like any other system) is far from a perfectly coherent set of rules, such that accountants just mechanically apply unambiguous mathematical operations to self-evident numbers.
I'm fairly happy with what I did study
however useless it has proved in terms of finding employment. Maybe Computer Science though because it's cool and would have more immediate job prospects... we didn't have ICT at school so it is only something that has appealed more recently.
Anyway I could've done anything given my grades but I followed a classical languages/music route.
Did economics
Should have dug around for a split economics/German course...
If I was looking to stuff my brain full of things I find interesting, then probably philosophy of some kind.
A part of me would like to be involved in social work and care but I'm just really not up for going back to studying so that will probably never happen.
I did geography which has worked out well career wise so I wouldn't change it
if I was going to do an additional degree I'd probably take film studies or creative writing which are probably the only things I'd find interesting enough
I did a job centric one first.
I'd recommend it.
If i were to go abck I'd do cartography as an Undergrad.
Defintiely not a waste of time arts subject, that's for sure.
Idealy i'd do engineering/physics degree of some kind, but i'm simply not clever enough.
I reckon if I went back and did my politics degree again now it'd be an absolute piece of piss. Arts subjects are a joke all round really.
See, you're trying your best to wind up art students/graduates
but it is a lot of fun doing an arts degree, and I'd like to do another oneTheWza this'd this
I did a year of archaeology and history before dropping out
Which I bitterly regret because it's ruined the whole thing for me.
I wish I hadn't broken my foot and continued geography at a level so I could have done it at university.
Dunno really
I liked my degree(s) but resent that despite doing something "sensible" the job market in this country for that field is utter gash. So in some respects I wish I'd done engineering, physics or even something like molecular biology, all of which would probably have lead to a better career path. But I'm not as interested in those as I am chemistry, then and now.
Did: Law as I wanted to do something that got me a job (which it did)
Wish I'd done: Music, film studies or English literature.
I'll always be an engineer at heart
I'm doing it
Criminology and Behavioural Science
Physics or Music Composition
Though I am happy I studied History, would like to do an MA in it one day
I'm thinking of studying Law soon
I studied Media. Waste of time.
see i did law
didnt land a training contract and ended up in random dull office jobs
friends who did media now have sweet digital design jobs in fun offices in london working on interesting projects
Oh man, I'm already doing random dull office jobs
I could probably do without getting into masses of debt just to end up doing the same thing.
I did archaeology and classics and liked it
I'm doing an accountancy HNC starting in May though. That will be....fun
Be prepared to lose a lot of the first week of accountancy laughing every time someone says double entry accounting
Acting / Photography / Fine Art / Creative writing
Somethign like that as my worklife is now a creativeless hole.
Or Sports Science.
Oh music
Probably music
Surely ^those...
...are all things that don't necessarily need a degree and/or can be pursued/studied. outside of university?
Not really...
...a lot of fields require a fairly extensive academic background. Quite a few of ^those do not - do many actors/photographers/writers go to university to study their particular field?
yeah man I really wish I'd just set up a chemistry lab in my garage and just fucking gone at it for a few years
well, ignoring instruction from properly knowledgeable lecturers
No access to literally millions of pounds worth of analytical equipment, without which you'd be about a century behind the curve.
Plus no way to do experiments properly safely or with adequate supervision to make sure you don't kill yourself.
Plus no access to most of the chemicals you'd need to do anything useful (you can't just order then from Amazon).
Plus I've engaged enough already with a properly daft question.
I am on my second degree.
Originally did Fine Art (sixteen years ago) - now studying Architecture.
I did Physics with Astrophysics and I really enjoyed it and met some great people.
However, I'm pretty shit at Physics. For some reason I still don't understand, I didn't think about doing Computer Science.
So, yeah, I'd do Computer Science as I'd probably have earned enough to own my own house 10 years ago.
Did: literature at various levels
Would like to have done: Physics.
Wasn't really good enough to have done it a good uni though, which I was for Arts.
Don't really mind
Anything with not too many lectures or seminars, and not much coursework.
I'd fucking love another 3 years of slacking: pubs, shit nightclubs, never going to bed/staying in bed all day, hanging out with your mates doing nothing all the time, learning musical instruments, playing computer games, watching daytime TV, eating chips 8 times a week. Basically being a full time cunt and not having to worry about anything. Great days <3
No, it was post wealthy(ish) parents
Not that I can remember anyone really worrying all that much about student loans. There was a bit of miffling but when you're not paying anything back yet then you don't give a hoot.
Student loans alone aren't really enough to live on
I work 12-16hrs a week on top of my course :(
BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE)
or music production
BA Journalism
I guess. If I took Maths, Engineering or any of that shit I'd have failed anyway.
English Language / Geography
something interesting instead of computing. OK so I have a job in IT now, but I could have got here by joining a company at 18 and just worked my way up and done courses. They taught me very little actual useful stuff in Uni surprisingly.
Maybe you can give me some ideas.
I have no idea of what anthropology actually involves as a subject though.
I keep a bookmark folder in Google Chrome entitled "Interesting Wikipedia articles to read". In this folder currently are:
"Risks to civilisation, humans & planet Earth"
"Colony collapse disorder"
"Oort cloud"
"Grey goo"
"Ultimate fate of the universe"
"Toba catastrophe theory"
"Geomagnetic reversal"
"Doomsday argument"
"Recent African origin of modern humans".
I guess my main lay intellectual interests are quite diverse; they span geology, migration patterns within species, evolution and futurology. What would be a good course suited to those interests?
Philosophy & Anthropology
Or Civilisational Studies with a futurology component if you can find one - probably unlikely at undergraduate level (maybe in the States somewhere)
happy with my english lit degree
but wish i'd combined it with a language for both academic interest and job-related reasons. so i'd do a language degree with a heavy lit component, maybe with a bit of literary translation
Yeah, I'd quite like to do a language
My 25-y-o self routinely gave my 13-y-o self a beating for not deciding to continue with French. That would've come in unbelievably handy study-wise.
Did a semester if Japanese at uni, but was never planning on continuing. Basically, I lack the gumption to do a language.
i'm 'learning' spanish now (ie living in spain, mostly hanging out with english speakers and hoping that one day i'll magically be able to read original borges)
reckon i lack the confidence and sociable personality to ever naturally get good at speaking a language, and lack the motivation and discipline to ever teach myself to read/write a language at a high level
part of the problem is that non-university language classes are usually a bit boring and awkward
and full of people who take hours to grasp a basic grammar point yet can somehow still speak ten times more fluently and confidently than i can, so i simultaneously feel too smart and too stupid to bother
i mean university ones probs are as well
but would probably be more effective for getting to a high reading level
it's amazing how far you can get with an English-[other language] dictionary
and a strong understanding of the principles of grammar.
It'll take you a while, but I'm sure you could read original Borges now if you wanted. Don't worry about stuff like idiom, symbolism, etc. I'm sure they don't make that much of a difference.
yeah i probably could, but you're underestimating the power of vast and immense laziness
I probably could underestimate the power of vast and immense laziness
but I'd probably give up half way through the calculation.
I did Internet Computing for 3 months
I should have done it for 3 years

Accidental 99 Commentaire
For those who know, Bambooman is one of the most sought after, probing, and distinctive voices in UK electronic music right now.
The Yorkshire born producer's catalogue builds into an aural mosaic, comprising everything from scrunched up hip-hop to techno deviance, all delivered with an impish sense of individuality.
Yet now, after six meandering but inspired EPs, Bambooman is ready to break with all this and drop his debut album 'Whispers'. "I choose to release an album at this point as I felt I was finally confident enough with my sound and techniques to make the album I wanted to make," he says. "I was careful to make it as honest and original as possible, whilst at the same time paying homage to the music and artists who have most inspired me."
"It's more honest than my previous work," he insists, "and it resonates with me more."
'Whispers' certainly resonates. It's a lengthy, bucolic work, an album of great breadth but also one of sustained mood – think those hazy summer evenings when shadows stretch out across the road, and autumn lingers around the corner.
In contrast to last year's 'Feel' EP – his first on new home Accidental Recordings – this new album has a dusty, organic, and decidedly personal feel, much more at home with Jon Hassel's 'fourth world' aesthetic than the club.
"I used lots of music concrete and electro-acoustic style processing techniques on the recordings across the album, which helped to give the sounds a more other-worldly aesthetic."
"I tried to demonstrate the more personal techniques and processes I have developed over the years within the tracks, to give them more character and originality."
The results are also imbued with an incredible sense of mystery, with Bambooman's productions frequently being shot through with a hallucinatory sense of the uncanny. Entirely self-composed, 'Whispers' utilises "lots of field recordings that I've collected over the last few years, while within the tracks you can find lots of the instruments, percussion, bells and whistles that have been gathered throughout my life."
In certain ways 'Whispers' is entirely autobiographical: Bambooman reaches back to his varied alter egos, to the ambient releases, art commissions, and soundtrack projects that litter his discography. The cover art was even pieced together by Oliver Pitt – of Glasgow group Golden Teacher – who was an early ally in the producer's sonic quest.
Stylistically 'Whispers' veers from avant hip-hop of Flying Lotus to the theoried composition of Terry Riley, from the future-forward percussive energy of Battles to the ever-evolving electronics of Mark Pritchard. It's a record marks by a fiercely independent spirit, but also by a close-knit cast of collaborators.
King Kashmere takes a starring turn, following the pair's collision on the recent 'SUPERGOD' EP. "To me he was and still is the most talented and forward thinking MC in the UK, and has proven this time and time again," explains Bambooman. "He's a true wordsmith and has the great voice and clarity to match."
Segilola is becoming a permanent fixture in the producer's work, and her voice helps push him down fresh avenues. "It didn't make sense to make a debut album without her powerful and beautiful voice making an appearance on it," he admits.
Each vocal is recorded, chopped up and then spliced across the album, with Elsa Hewitt also making a number of appearances and re-appearances. "It's been really interesting working with her vocals," he enthuses. "I sometimes think she sounds quite 90s on my tracks – but in a good way, if that makes any sense!"

Strategy games have evolved and continue to attract many fans, especially with the development of technology where such games have been transported to Smartphones, tablets or computers. One of the modalities that catch the most fans is the battle theme in medieval times that has taken over the market and is at the top of the ranking without any signs of movement. Read on to find out what the game is about and how to make a King of Avalon Dragon Warfare hack.
If you're a fan of any of these, you'll love playing King of Avalon Dragon Warfare, which is also set in medieval times, specifically in the time of King Arthur. The war unfolds due to the death of the king, and the objective of the game is to evolve and conquer the kingdom. We will give you some tips on how to play, and we will also teach you how to use our online generator for free gold.
How to play King of Avalon Dragon Warfare
The game happens in the time of King Arthur. After the death of this king, many people want to gain power. The idea of the game is to train your battalion to be the best on the island; also you have to train your dragon so you can fight against others. Going through battle after battle, you will gain experience and raise difficulty levels. Through alliances and the defeat of enemies, you can seize the kingdom and raise the Excalibur sword that everyone wants to raise.
To go through levels and gain experience you must acquire some improvements for your troop and your dragon, which you must do with the gold you get in the battles. The disadvantage of this game, like others, is that many times to advance you do not have enough gold and you have to wait to take the next step. To get free gold and enjoy more of the game you can use our King of Avalon Dragon Warfare hack.
You can download King of Avalon Dragon Warfare on your IOS and Android devices you just have to go to the respective app store to start the download. After a few minutes, you can begin to enjoy the game. To get some improvements in the game you must use real money, but with our online generator for free gold will not be like this.

This is resolved with this King of Avalon Dragon Warfare hack, which you can access online and follow step by step that is presented in this link. This way you will not have to wait to pass the level, nor will you find it difficult to obtain the best extensions to equip your troop and your dragon, achieving the goal to take the kingdom.

FAQs - Queens Square Imaging Centre
What is an MRI scan?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a technique whereby a magnetic field is used to obtain high quality images of the inside of the body. It is highly regarded for its ability to demonstrate soft tissues, particularly the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles.
Is MRI safe?
Yes. There are no known side effects associated with having an MRI scan, and it does not use any ionising radiation (such as X-Rays). We always have to be cautious about the magnetic field and some patients who have certain metallic objects in their body are not suitable for MRI scanning. We use a detailed safety checklist to assess whether you are safe to have a scan of this kind.
Occasionally, we use an injection of contrast dye during an MRI scan which enhances the appearance of certain tissues and can add to the quality of the scan in specific circumstances. This injection is regarded as being very safe, although we will always check to make sure that there is no reason why this injection would be unsafe for a patient to have if necessary. The radiographer will explain this injection to you in more detail if it is necessary for your scan.
We do not scan female patients who are within the first trimester of pregnancy.
How do I prepare for my MRI scan?
There is very little you need to do to prepare for an MRI scan with us. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment and you can take any medications you would normally take as normal.
If we need you to bring anything specific with you for your appointment we will let you know.
However, as a general rule, it is always useful if you could:
- Wear comfortable clothing with minimal attached metal (zips etc.) We may need you to change for your scan in which case we will provide you with a gown
- Avoid wearing eye makeup, especially if you are having your brain or eyes scanned.
- Avoid bringing any jewellery with you that you would not be happy to remove and leave in a locked room.
- Bring any previous scans that you might have copies of to your scan appointment. It is always useful if we can see old scans as these can be used for comparison.
What equipment do you have?
We are privileged to employ the very latest in MRI technology which allows us to undertake scans which are at the forefront of modern medical imaging, including functional MRI (fMRI).
Across our two imaging centres in Central London, we operate two 1.5T magnets and one 3T magnet, which are each optimised to the type of specialist scanning we offer.
We do not operate an 'Open' MRI scanner but our magnets are some of the most modern available, and we find that claustrophobic patients can often tolerate scans in scanners. Please get in touch if you are anxious and would like to know more.
Do you scan children?
We do not routinely scan patients under the age of 16 at the Queen Square Imaging Centre or Chenies Mews Imaging Centre. However, with prior arrangement, scans on patients younger than 16 years of age can sometimes be accommodated. You are advised to contact the Imaging Centre on 020 783 32513 to discuss your requirements.
Do any height of weight restrictions apply with MRI scans?
There are no height restrictions with our scanner. However, we are unable to scan patients who weigh in excess of 130kg/20stone/300pounds.
Do I need a referral for an MRI scan?
Yes. We can only scan a patient who has been referred for an MRI by their doctor. This can be a general practitioner (GP) but usually, we would prefer to take referrals from a specialist doctor. We are only able to release results to a doctor, and cannot release results direct to the patient.
Will I get a copy of my MRI scan to keep?
Yes. All private patients have their MRI scan recorded onto a CD for their own records. It is routine that we send this CD, along with the radiologist report to the doctor in the first instance. We would only give the patient a CD of their images on the day of their appointment if the patient is returning to see their doctor immediately.
How do I make an appointment at the Queen Square Imaging Centre?
If your doctor requires you to have an MRI scan, then you can contact the centre directly on 020 783 32513 to arrange an appointment. Alternatively, your doctor's secretary may offer to arrange this appointment on your behalf on a day which is suitable for you. This may be preferable if you need to have other diagnostic tests arranged on the same day.
If you would like to arrange a scan for your patient, then you can download a referral form from our website and either fax the completed form to 020 783 78074, or email it to our appointments administrator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I am nervous about my MRI scan. Can I have sedation?
If you are nervous about your MRI scan for any reason, we would advise you to contact the imaging centre in the first instance so that we can discuss your concerns over the phone and try to ease your worries. We are always happy to discuss your appointment and answer any questions you may have. We never rush patients and we always take our time with each patient to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during your scan. You are also welcome to come in and see us so that we can show you the scanner in advance of your appointment.
If you feel that you do need sedation for your scan to help you relax, then you can ask your doctor for a prescription for a light oral sedative. The patient must organise this themselves and the Queen Square Imaging Centre neither stocks sedation, nor does it provide prescriptions. If you do obtain sedation, we would ask you to arrive in the department at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment time, and take your tablet whilst here in the department. You should organise for someone to escort you home after your scan and you must not drive yourself.
Can I bring a friend of relative with me?
You are very welcome to bring a friend of relative with you to your appointment. If necessary, you may have someone accompany you into the scanning room, although this is always at the discretion of the radiographer. Anyone going into the room with a patient must successfully complete the safety checklist for themselves and will be asked to remove all metallic objects from their person.
Can I have an MRI scan if I have a cardiac pacemaker?
Our specialist MRI facility – the Chenies Mews Imaging Centre – is able to scan patients who have cardiac pacemakers and other cardiac devices.
If your doctor has referred you for an MRI scan, then we will need to obtain full details about your specific pacemaker system, so that we can make a plan in advance of your scan. On the day of the appointment, our specialist cardiac staff will interrogate your pacemaker and set it in an MRI mode, so that you can then enter the MRI scanner safely. Whilst they monitor you, our experienced radiographers will then perform your scan in strict accordance with specific conditions. Once the scan is finished, your pacemaker will once again be examined and you will then be free to go home.
We are recognised for this novel service by all major UK based health insurers, and we also accept referrals for self funding and NHS patients. Please contact the Chenies Mews Imaging Centre directly for more information on 020 3887 0566 or by email to email@example.com.
More information about the process can also be found on the Chenies Mews Imaging Centre website.
How do I make a comment or complaint?
If you have any comments or complaints about our service, the reception staff at the Queen Square Imaging Centre will be able to provide immediate assistance, or you may ask to speak to the registered manager.
We also have a formal complaints procedure which is as follows:
• All complaints are dealt with in a confidential manner and are fully investigated.
• All complaints will ordinarily be acknowledged within 2 working days, with a detailed reply within 20 working days if we are not able to address the problem immediately.
• If your complaint is of a serious nature and it takes longer to resolve, we will update you on the progress regularly.
Patients can also complain directly to the Care Quality Commission. However, the Care Quality Commission may decide that the complaint should be handled at a local level initially and return the complaint back to Queen Square Imaging Centre.

I went back to Jo-Ann Fabrics with 40% and 50% off coupons to buy fabric for my first A-line skirt and for the muslin, or prototype, skirt. I'm so indecisive and unsure of what I'm doing with patternmaking and sewing that I spent about two hours looking at fabrics.
I went back to the denim section and looked through it again. This time, I found white denim on the shelf, which is what I originally wanted. Unfortunately, I noticed a few small red threads running through the bright white denim, and I really didn't want to get fabric that was so noticeably imperfect. I knew I'd be unhappy with the skirt and wouldn't wear it. Not really the point of making my own clothes.
After comparing the white denim to all of the other denims, I decided that maybe I could pull out the red threads. I knew I'd wear white denim a lot more often than the gold speckled dark denim I'd picked out a couple of weeks before. When I went to the counter to get the fabric cut, the employee helping me said that pulling out the red threads would probably leave obvious holes in the fabric. But, when she found out I only needed a yard, she said she'd cut it from the other end. Perfect!
Searching for fabric to use as a muslin posed an entirely different problem. In the patternmaking book I'm using, the author said she finds fabric for $1/yard to use for her muslins. Even on the clearance rack, I couldn't find any fabric for that cheap. When I looked through the actual muslin fabric, there wasn't any thick enough to approximate the weight of denim. Then I thought maybe I could get a wearable fabric to use as my muslin, and possibly end up with two skirts I liked. I didn't want any of the other denim choices, but next to that section I picked out a gorgeous turquoise corduroy. (It actually looks closer to this color, but darker.)
A week has gone by since I bought those fabrics, and I've been learning a lot from sewing blogs that I've been reading. Since I'm the newest of newbies at patternmaking, I think I'm going to first cut the pattern out of an old sheet or something and baste the skirt just to make sure I have a basic clue about what I'm doing. I like the turquoise corduroy far too much now to use it as a muslin, so I'm going to make the denim skirt first. Hopefully the "old sheet" muslin will give me enough of an idea about how the skirt will fit before I cut the heavier denim. Maybe I'll also leave some extra seam allowance so I can adjust the fit if I need to.
I'm so excited to start sewing! I have to solve a pattern drafting problem first, though, and figure out if my sewing machine is broken or if I just don't know how to use it. Luckily, when I left Jo-Ann fabrics, one of my friends was on her way in, and she told me where I can take the sewing machine. I'm going to go and dig through my fabric stash and try to find something to use as a muslin.
Do you have a preferred fabric that you use for muslins? Or do you use any fabric you have on hand?
