The project on the 3rd semester can either be a normal semester project of up to 30 ECTS or can be combined with the Master’s thesis to a Long Master’s Thesis. In case of a separate project, the scope of the project can vary between 15, 20, 25, and 30 ECTS dependent on how many elective courses are chosen by the student. A Long Master’s Thesis can also vary between 45, 50, and 60 ECTS dependent on how many elective courses are taken by the student.
If the project is less than 30 ECTS the workload of the project is reduced in accordance to the number of ECTS.
This project module will give the student experience with independently applying nanotechnology within a chosen technological area.
• Advanced applications of nanotechnology for solving technological problems.
• Applied aspects of nanotechnology.
• Given a problematic technological issue the student can use different tools from nanotechnology to find solutions to the actual problem.
This is a 25 ECTS project module and the work load is expected to be 750 hours for the student.
Can we taco ’bout it?
Campechano occupies the space formerly known as Sadie’s Diner, its iconic (relatively speaking) blue and red exterior now masked in a few coats of white paint. The interior is a mish mash of old (restored hardwood flooring, old church pews and school chairs, round doorways) and new (tiled flooring, colourfully painted murals). Campechano takes it back to basics, which has proven to be a pro and a con in this instance. I think it’s great that the food isn’t dressed up with too many (if any) non-traditional ingredients, I’m cool with keeping it simple. What’s not so great to me is the fact that the website has no menu uploaded. Why have a website then?! Even if the menu changes from time to time, it doesn’t take that much effort to update that info on the website, does it? If they have time to keep their Instagram updated then surely they have time for a little website maintenance. Not complaining, just saying! The offerings are minimal: guacamole, ceviche, a selection of tacos and quesadillas, and a (yes, one) dessert. Andrew and I don’t like to live with food regret (or even worse, food envy), so we figured we’d order one of each taco to share (except the veggie taco), guacamole for munching, and a quesadilla (because cheese is the bee’s knees). Oh, and horchata to drink because I’m told that if I see horchata on a menu, it must be ordered.
The guacamole was plain, as expected (I’m spoiled, I always make my guacamole with pomegranate arils), but it had a good amount of lime in it so it was tasty enough for me. I’m not a seasoned horchata taster by any means, but I think theirs was too sweet for anyone over the age of 12. The tacos followed one by one. I was hoping for a family of tacos to arrive at our table, with Andrew and I being their (very hungry) guests of honour. Andrew and I must have looked pretty pathetic, biting and passing a single taco back and forth. However, I think their staggered arrival can be explained by the fact that the tortillas are pressed to order, which I very much appreciate. These kind of tortillas are something that you won’t get at most taco joints in Toronto, they were unbelievably fresh and larger and thicker in size (ha). Their blue corn tacos are heavily advertised on their Instagram, so the fact that we didn’t get any that night was a bit of a bummer.
I’d have to say the best tacos were the chorizo, bistec and the Campechano (which is essentially a combo of the first two), the meats were well-seasoned and the various salsas and sauces were complimentary, none of them were overly spicy. The flavours were impressively bold, considering the tacos weren’t loaded with the fancy toppings you may see at, let’s say, Grand Electric or La Carnita. The shrimp taco was a bit of a let down to me, but I say that in comparison to my favourite cheese and shrimp taco in Toronto c/o Seven Lives. The chicken taco wasn’t bad at all, I’m just not a huge fan of chicken tacos. I really liked the hongos quesadilla, the Oaxaca cheese was melted to gooey perfection. We didn’t inquire about their single dessert, we already felt like oinkers for ordering over half of the menu, but I think we’ll be back once another taco craving hits!
It’s beautiful isn’t it? ME TOO!

It'as amazing how stating the same fact can have a completely different result, The same question can be insulting or instructive. If a person says my appliance won't come on. You may know that a surprising number of service calls find the appliance is unplugged, but your response can determine how the rest of the call goes. You can say is it plugged in?  A better way would be to say lets try this unplug the unit wait 30 seconds and plug it back in sometimes that will reset the unit. If it was unplugged problem solved. Sometimes being smarter involves solving a problem without insulting the person on the other end of the line.Hello! It’s Tina here! I am in love with all of the amazing flowers that you can create using Spellbinders dies! Today I’m going to be creating my all-time favorite flowers for you, the Bitty Blossoms, using the Stylus for the Tool ‘n One system.
This combination makes creating these flowers super simple! By using the stylus tips, you can make the flowers realistically. Just shape the petals in a circular motion from outside to inside and/or curl and shape using Stylus end. I stamped a sentiment on a Nested Lacey Pennants Ribbon die cut and adhere it with Crafty Foam Tape. For the flower cluster, first adhere the leaves, then a twine bow and lastly flowers on top – a perfect accent for the beautiful embellished card front.
Be sure to pick up the Tool ‘n One as well as the Stylus to help make all of your beautiful Spellbinders flowers come together in a snap!! Until next time…Happy Creating!The rather wonderful TTA Press have published my novelette THE HARM to launch a new series of smart A5 pocket-sized novelettes, priced at a recession-busting £5 each (plus p&P).
If you want this line of publications to go ahead, all you have to do is buy THE HARM. Make it a success. That way the publisher can continue the line of novelettes. Easy, eh?
"I highly recommend this book. Gary’s prose is as rich as ever, evoking atmosphere in every detail, without drifting into excess. Along with the flowing snippets of dialogue, it brings colour to the bleakest of horror landscapes. There’s a few surprises, but rather than being a story that relies on shocks, The Harm delivers ice-cold realisation. Excellent."
Started it today - very dark, quite complicated and surreal (the arms with Tyler and the tape with Roarke) and carrying a perverse air. Enjoying it so
