Jack Harvey took his second GP3 race win of the season at Monza, in a race marked out by several accidents.
The Englishman took a keen victory ahead of championship contender Daniil Kvyat and the revitalised Lewis Williamson.
Harvey assumed the lead immediately when polesitter Patric Niederhauser stalled from his top spot. His lead rarely stretched beyond one second and his mirrors mostly full, yet the Art Grand Prix held his nerve to take an impressive win ahead of a feisty Kvyat.
An early safety car period following two separate crashes prior to the Rettifilo chicane ensured the field was clasped together in the initial running. It also gave Williamson an opportunity to jump up to the top four, with a mistake by Alexander Sims promoting the Scot into 3rd place on lap 3.
That became 2nd place when Williamson fought his way past series leader Facu Regalia three tours later; however Williamson could not hold the pace to Harvey for the duration, allowing the charging Kvyat to swing around the outside and into 2nd place three laps from the end.
Kvyat had an indifferent start, but made the most of the running when the safety car pulled in at the start of lap three. From there, the Russian drew past Sims, Kevin Korjus and Melville McKee.
Korjus retook Kvyat on lap four, starting a five lap ding-dong from which Kvyat would eventually prove victorious. Moves on Regalia (lap 13) and Williamson brought the MW Arden racer close to Harvey, but the Russian ran out of laps to pressure the race winner.
Regalia eventually assumed 4th spot, after several laps holding Korjus, Carlos Sainz Jr and Sims at bay. As the pack mixed amongst themselves, Regalia eased to the line, with Korjus (5th) in arrears, while Sims nabbed 6th from Sainz Jr two laps from the end following an error by the Spaniard.
It also allowed Melville McKee through in to 7th, while Conor Daly came through to claim the final point after a monster drive from the back.
The race was peppered with some huge – and rather worrying crashes – most notably a penultimate lap smash between Samin Gomez and Adderly Fong, which saw the former move in the braking zone squeeze Fong to the wall on the start finish straight initiated a huge shunt that ended with the Status destroyed and minus a wheel at the Rettifilo chicane.
There was much carbon fibre debris following the opening lap, when a stalled Niederhauser was collected heavily by Alex Fontana. In a separate incident moments later, Ryan Cullen ran over the top of David Fumanelli, before also collecting Emanuele Zonzini.
Also a rear wingless Jimmy Eriksson collected Nick Yelloly on lap three, pitching the Englishman into a shut at the Parabolica.


Thank you for your interest in massage and choosing Raining Faith Massage for your massage therapy. Following is an introduction to Raining Faith Massage and answers to some questions that you may have. Included are the guidelines and policies. Please review them prior to your appointment. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
What to expect from your session – I am of the opinion that the best results from massage therapy occur when you and I work together. Together we will work to achieve results from goals that you have expressed to me before the session. At your first appointment I will obtain a health history and discuss the way you would like the session to progress. There is no extra charge for this initial consultation. The health history form and policies letter can be downloaded off my web site. Filling them out prior to your appointment would be great! Please allow yourself ample time to fill out the health history form, as it is pertinent that I have a thorough history for my records.
The kind of massage that I offer – My style of massage is a combination of Swedish massage and treatment oriented bodywork. I work with an emphasis toward treating injuries and/or postural dysfunction utilizing myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and facilitated stretching. I incorporate Swedish massage into these techniques to create an effective yet relaxing style of work. If you desire a relaxing, stress reducing massage, I can create a session that is comprised primarily of Swedish applications.
A little bit about myself and my training – I graduated from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in December of 2001. My education has consisted of over 1300 hours of supervised training. The areas of massage that I specialize in include Sports Massage, Orthopedic Massage and Swedish Massage. Additionally, I have been nationally certified and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I have lived in Broomfield since 1991 and am an active member of the community. I have a wife, Pamela, whom I married in 1991, and son Benjamin who we were blessed with in 1995.
Some of the benefits that you can expect from your massage – Massage is more than just a "feel good" experience and a way to treat yourself. On a physiological level it helps to improve circulation throughout the entire body, including the venous, arterial, and lymphatic systems. Massage helps to alleviate tension in muscles and return them to their normal length and condition. Increased muscle tension can lead to a variety of problems. Some of these may include headaches, nerve compression syndromes such as Carpal Tunnel and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and postural problems that can lead to chronic pain, such as lower back pain. Additionally, massage helps to relieve stress and can make you more aware of your breathing and how it affects the rest of your body.
About my office and facility – My office is located within my home. There is parking available on the street in front of the house. I ask that you please park in the street and not in my driveway. The room that I work out of is private and has a bathroom adjacent to it. During sessions I normally play music but I can work without it if you prefer. You are always welcome to use the music of your choice for your session. I strive to keep the setting of the massage in an environment that is comfortable for you and have a heater and fan to help adjust the temperature of the room. The massage table has an adjustable heated pad as well for your comfort.
How the session will progress After the initial consultation and we set some goals, we will be ready for your massage. After showing you to the treatment room I will leave and allow you to undress in privacy. Please undress to your level of comfort and remove all of your jewelry, (wedding bands are okay) It is a good idea to use the restroom before the session starts. As a client you will be covered with a sheet or "draped" during the session. Only the body part being massaged is exposed while I work. Please place yourself between the sheets and cover yourself with the top sheet after getting on the table. I will always knock before re-entering the room. Sessions tend to be best when you and I work together. Please let me know if there is any part of the body you are uncomfortable having massaged, or if there are any concerns that you may have either before or during the massage.
I will check in with you during the session as to how the pressure of my work is and as to your comfort. Remember that massage should not be painful. If you find yourself holding your breath or curling your fingers or toes this is an indication that the work may be too deep. Be aware of a therapeutic feeling, as opposed to work that is painful. Bodywork can bring about many emotional as well as physical changes. If you need me to slow down or stop the session for any reason, please feel free to do so and we can discuss how the session should proceed.
What happens when the session is over- Therapeutic massage is wonderful work that can leave a person feeling very different after the session as opposed to before. When the session is over I will leave the room and allow you a few minutes to collect your thoughts and absorb the experience. After you have dressed you will come back into the reception area to meet with me privately. At that time we can discuss the session and / or make another appointment.
After you leave the session, your body may have some different occurrences. Massage can stimulate the body's different systems and is a natural cleansing process. Frequent urination, gas or mild loose stools are not out of the ordinary. It is a good idea to stay hydrated and refrain from any strenuous activity for the remainder of the day. Remember to pay attention to how you feel in subsequent days and please feel free to give me a call in the days following your session if you have any concerns at all.
I want to thank you for your interest and hope that your session is an enjoyable experience for you. If you have any questions or concerns at all please call me prior to your appointment. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

A: If the mapper and reducer don't use the same output types, the mapper key/value types must be specified explicitly - so you probably need to also add:
setMapOutputKeyClass(Text.class)
setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class)

As a young girl, I loved exploring the abandoned farmhouses and outbuildings in the green space near my house, breaking to stretch out in the long grass, enjoy the unbeatable blue of the Alberta sky above me, and make up stories about who had lived in those buildings.
My favourite part of these adventures, though, was the bike ride there and back. Pretending I was a fighter pilot on a dangerous mission, I'd lower my nose to the height of the handlebars, elbows splayed wide, and pedal full tilt through enemy territory. Nothing matched the thrill of the breeze cooling my back and flipping my ponytail in the bike's tailwind. Glorious freedom, fuelled only by my legs and my imagination!
Over time my two-wheeled escapades tapered off and my bike eventually became a neglected heap of rust on the balcony. A few years ago my love of cycling rekindled, so I set out to buy a shiny new freedom machine. Unfortunately, I was greeted with condescension and disdain by the staff at more than one high-end bike shop. I left each one more disheartened, sure that my days as a fighter pilot were long gone.
The elitism I experienced at other bicycle shops is something Bradley Wentworth, a long-time volunteer at BikeSauce, has encountered. He dubs it 'Bikier Than Thou.' In contrast, he says the folks at BikeSauce, "work hard to create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, regardless of mechanical savvy. It's a place where people can learn to maintain, operate, tinker, tweak and customize their ride. If a patron doesn't know how to make a repair, a volunteer mechanic will demonstrate what needs to be done using jargon-free language, undo the work and guide the person as they do it on their own.
Customers pay for any parts they need and leave a donation for the use of the bike stand, tools and time according to their means. You can also purchase a sweet ride. BikeSauce accepts donations of bikes, parts and accessories, which are then refurbished and offered for sale at a great value.
Over the course of several months, I've spent many hours working on a bike I bought at the shop. While I'm far from being a bike aficionado, I no longer feel intimidated when someone mentions headsets, cassettes, derailleurs, cranksets, spindles and housing. I've learned how to patch a tube, true a wheel, replace brake cables, change a chain and a host of other tasks associated with maintaining a bike. Now, the freedom I experience on two wheels is enhanced by the knowledge I've gained getting my hands dirty.
Look on the side of your tire for how much air to put in. Inflated tires make you go faster and you'll get fewer flats because harder tires "push" debris away rather than absorb it, and don't pinch as easily into potholes.
Regularly oiled parts work better and last longer. But less is more – a tiny drop per link of chain is enough; otherwise black sludge forms quickly.
Being able to stop quickly and efficiently is important to your safety. If your brake pads are worn down, replace them. Also, check if the pads have dirt or gravel embedded in them, which can scratch and damage your wheel rims. Clean the pads using a bit of alcohol on a soft cloth. Release the brake callipers to give yourself easy access.
Now that my new freedom machine is in fighting form, I'm coming to get you, Red Baron.

pour rendre visite aux enseignants de français du centre et voir cette nouvelle construction.
Bons moments d'échange avec les enseignants et le directeur.
Les enfants sont bien participatifs, avides de nous dire les mots qu'ils connaissent et Warda, leur enseignante, les encourage bien.
Nous avons trouvé un centre animé et effectivement beaucoup de passage et d'intérêt pour ce centre et l'apprentissage du français. Des enfants joyeux, des enseignants plein de volonté pour donner un peu de leur temps pour les cours.
Moments aussi avec le ministre de la jeunesse et des sports avec qui on parle de l'accueil de cet été des enfants.
Nous revenons persuadés que nous devons poursuivre nos actions pour permettre à ces enfants de pouvoir apprendre correctement le français en soutenant le centre.
Et pour cela nous avons besoin de vous, de parrains qui soutiennent avec nous les enfants du centre.
I got what you intend, regards for putting up.Woh I am lucky to find this website through google. "Delay is preferable to error." by Thomas Jefferson.
I have been surfing online more than three hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's beautiful price sufficient for me.

Choosing a Freestyle Frame
by Michael Niggel | Jun 10, 2019 | Buyers Guide
Freestyle vs. Racing
What distinguishes a freestyle frame? Anything that isn't specifically designed for racing is often considered a freestyle frame. Race frames are designed for pure performance at the expense of almost everything else: light weight and minimal surface area for low drag. This tends to make them more difficult to build and maintain, less durable, and with less protection of the internal components. It's a formula that squeezes out the most possible speed and handling from the other parts making up the quad. By contrast, anything that doesn't follow this formula is labeled a freestyle frame.
This doesn't mean that anything which isn't optimizing flight performance is ideal for freestyle. Instead, it becomes a more personal choice. Not having the singular performance goal allows designers to diversify quite the features to make available. Your flying style, tolerance for replacing parts, and capabilities as a builder will all affect what does and doesn't interest you. This article will help you decide which features you're interested in so you can make the best choice for you.
SabotageRC's Dingo uses a lot of curves that reduce stress concentration points. This leads to a stronger frame overall at the cost of some added weight.
Durability is often a high priority for freestyle pilots, and many freestyle frames emphasize it. Nobody wants to break something and quit for the day, so frames that can take a beating and keep on going will always be in demand. What should you look for in a durable frame?
Arm thickness: In general, a thicker arm is less likely to break because more material provides a wider area to distribute stress over in a crash. While a race frame may have arms 3mm thick and less than 6mm in width, more durable "freestyle" arms are generally at least 4mm thick and could be as much as 20mm wide.
Internal plate thickness: Similar to the arms, the other structural plates are generally more durable if they are thicker. You should also look at the pattern of cutouts in the plates. Having more cutouts can often reduce material strength, but their location and shape makes big difference.
Stress risers: When a material is subject to stress, the force usually becomes more concentrated in some areas than others. This is called a stress concentration (or stress riser) and creates a location that is much more likely to break. As a general rule, using curves instead of hard angles in a design and increasing the amount of material in these stress points will improve overall durability. Frames with rounded corners and cutouts will fare better than those that are sharp.
Carbon Direction: Nearly all frames are made of carbon fiber. These weaves are stronger along the direction of the fibers, meaning the plates are weaker at 45-degrees to the weave. While you can't really tell how the carbon sheets are oriented based on the appearance of top-most twill layer, frames with individual arms will usually be cut optimally for each arm but unibody frames can't re-orient the carbon to make this happen.
Carbon quality: Not all carbon fiber is made equal. Depending on the size of the fibers, the process used to create them, and the number of fibers in a weave, the strength of the material can vary considerably. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do as a consumer to figure out whether the carbon is use is a good grade; it's often not published or the terms in use (like "3K") are essentially meaningless. The best advice here? Expect to get what you pay for.
For propellers smaller than 5″, frame dimensions matter a lot more. Pay close attention to the dimensions of mounting points for motors, flight controller stack, and camera.
A race has one goal when looking at the weight spec for a frame: is it light enough? Lighter is faster, and that's all there is to it—race frames weigh in anywhere from 60–80g on average. For a freestyle pilot, the decision is again much more nuanced. Since extreme weight reduction isn't the goal, frame designers have the ability to build up other features without as much concern. Freestyle frames often weigh in from 90–120g.
The added weight in a freestyle rig is often touted as a benefit. With a higher inertia, the flight characteristics change: the quad is more resistant to acceleration and changes of direction. Freestyle pilots often prefer this because it creates more of a "floaty" feeling. A pilot can launch a heavy quad into the air and know that its momentum will continue to carry it in the same direction. This gives the pilot time to execute flips, rolls, and other acrobatics while the quad continues to follow a natural path. Executing acrobatics with a light weight race frame can divert the frame's path much easier during these moves. Heavier quads are also more resistant to vibration, which helps to provide smooth "jello-free" footage. At the end of the day, the weight is a pilot preference—light weight frames are quite capable of acrobatics—but most freestyle pilots prefer a slightly heavier rig.
A heavier weight does mean carrying more momentum into a crash. The heavier quad takes a harder impact for the same amount of speed as compared to a lighter one. Usually, this is more than offset by smart design, but it's worth noting that weight in itself does not provide durability.
Carbon that runs parallel to the arm will lend greater strength along its length and width where it's needed most. (But the top-most twill layer doesn't tell you how it's oriented within.)
Having a frame that doesn't break really only saves you time and money if the other parts you have mounted inside it don't break either. You should evaluate a frame that you are considering to purchase based on how well the other parts you strap in will be protected, too.
The biggest problem area is usually the flight camera. When the camera sticks out the front of the frame, it can take hits pretty hard. It might sound easy enough to move it backward, but many pilots don't like seeing parts of the frame or the props in the video feed. Another issue that crops up when you pull the camera into the frame is that you often lose the ability to run high tilt angles. It's tough to find a position that satisfies all three of these constraints. Often at least one area is left to compromise. You may need to decide which is most important to you. If you don't want to replace a camera, look for a mount that's recessed inward so the lens doesn't stick out. Keep in mind that both the front and the top can cause potential issues. You're not often flying the quad level (since you tilt forward to move) and are more likely to hit the upper part of the frame. When it comes to visibility, find some YouTube videos of pilots flying the quad you're thinking of buying and see if the frame pops into view on FPV feeds.
The most important piece to protect might be the action camera. If you use a brand-name camera, it probably cost more than the whole quad. These are much more difficult to protect given their size and shape variety, so a lot of frames offer little to no protection at all. If you find one that offers decent protection, it's probably built for a specific type of action camera and makes other compromises. One such example is the Shendrones Corgi—which holds only the GoPro Session and you'll be carrying nearly 150g in the frame alone.
Most other parts stay fairly well confined within the main body of the frame, but take a brief look at the design and think about how you will build it before you buy. Will individual ESCs hang off the arms? Will the battery run into anything else in a crash? Will the receiver antennas be safely out of harm's way? Can the video antenna easily break or get pushed into a prop in a crash? Taking a few moments to consider this might help you choose a frame that better serves you for the long term. If you're totally new to the sport — look at what your frame your favorite acro pros are flying. Buying a top end frame might cost a little more money, but you'll start out right and quickly figure out which features matter to you.
The Armattan Chameleon topped "best freestyle frame" lists and created a wave of spin-offs with its revolutionary deck design and camera mounting/protection.
Another important consideration for your ideal freestyle frame will be what it takes to build and maintain it. Different frames allow different styles of parts to be used, which can limit and direct your selection. Parts and standards have changed over time, so it's certainly not a given that you'll be able to make anything work. But sure to pay attention to these details when making purchasing decisions:
Does the frame have full-size (36×36mm) or mini (20×20mm) mounting holes for a flight controller?
Can the arms handle individual ESCs, or does the build require a 4-in-1?
What size motor mounting holes does it have?
Is there enough room to stack taller components?
What sizes of camera can be used (full, micro, mini)?
How will you mount your receiver and its antennas?
How will you mount your VTx and its antenna?
Will you have plenty of space to build with (helpful for new builders) or will it need to be tight?
How will you mount your action camera?
Once you have it built and flying for a while, eventually something will break. How easy is it to make basic repairs? Some frames have a lot of small parts that can easily get lost if you work on them in the field, while others are simple and you can change out a broken arm without taking nearly any of the quad apart. Many fall in between, or have special features like access panels or hinged plates to make working on them simpler. These can make maintenance easy, but can also complicate or weaken the frame structurally if not carefully designed.
Other things you might want to consider when picking out a frame:
Does the manufacturer support it? Is there a warranty of any kind? Are spare parts available? For example, Armattan has a class-leading lifetime warranty on many frames—you break it, they'll replace it. Some other manufacturers have similar warranties.
Does it bring anything novel or exciting to your flying? Karearea's Kea frame has waffle-like plates that add wind resistance and increase hang time, unlike anything else available.
Does the styling appeal to you? Does it make you want to fly it?
How much does it cost and is that within your budget?
In the end, selecting a freestyle frame is a very personal choice. Each presents its own unique set of compromises in durability, component protection, ease of build and maintenance, and so on. You'll have to choose something that fits your situation and gives you the features you want most. Hopefully this guide has given you the tools to evaluate and make a smart, informed decision about which is best for you.

Yale University's endowment was up 40 percent in its most recent fiscal year, which ended in June.
NY Times: Big University Endowments Make Billions in Returns in a Bumper Year.
As parents and heavily indebted students get squeezed more and more each year, many of America's Marxist universities continue to sit on perpetually increasing endowments so colossal in scope that just the average annual appreciation alone would suffice to pay tuition, room & board for every student. There are about 100 colleges with endowments totaling more than $1 Billion, with half of those topping $2 Billion and others going up all the way to the 30s, 40s & even 50s of billions! (here) The money -- professionally managed by the best of the best managers and, in many cases, enhanced by state funding (money is fungible) -- just sits there and accumulates for the sake of accumulating.
Harvard's fund leads the nation at a staggering $53 Billion. On a per student basis, Princeton tops the list with an endowment value equivalent to $3 million per student! Even my partially publicly funded alma mater, Rutgers is hoarding $2 Billion now. And yet, year after year after year, (((they))) continue to extort parents and students with ever-increasing tuition, housing and additional fees for cafeteria slop and textbooks.
1. (((They))) sit on billions and hoard the annual returns. // 2. Meanwhile, kids are forced into debt so the schools can rake in even more money. // 3. And finally, when they get their hands on the impressionable young and indebted students, they redirect their anger towards "capitalism" and teach the kids that Marxism is the answer to "greed!"
Now when politicians propose tax hikes on corporations, business owners and the great American middle class -- and even just low income people for that matter -- you'll find the Marxist scum of Quackademia always cheer-leading in the fore. Former Harvard professorette and US Senator Loony Lizzie Warren goes so far as to praise such tax proposals as "economic patriotism" -- a term whose corollary necessarily implies that opposition to tax increases upon the productive is therefore "unpatriotic."
But when calls to "tax the rich" are directed at the multi-billion dollar endowments of America's universities, then, all of a sudden, (((they))) become very "conservative" on the issue of taxes.
The article reveals:
"American universities (endowment) returns complicate the debate about big endowments' tax status. One of the few tax increases that President Donald J. Trump pushed through was a 1.4 percent levy on the largest university endowments' investment income. Facing lobbying by the affected institutions, Democrats have discussed reducing the tax as part of the spending bills slowly working their way through Congress." (emphasis added)
Ya hear that? The Marxist misers (cough cough) of "elite" quackademia are "lobbying" their Demonrat darlings in Congress to scale back a measly 1.4% levy on their investment income! Whatever happened to that rotgut about "from each according to their ability, to each according to his need," eh? No good, filthy, criminal, money-grubbing monopolistic "capitalist" phonies!
1. Loony Lizzie Warren was paid over $300,000 per year to teach her commie crap while at Harvard. // 2. As Senator (D-MA), the filthy ranting, raving, finger-waving harridan (bossy old hag) has screamed for "free college" (taxpayer-funded tuition) --- while hypocritically blasting Trump's tax on university endowments. // 3. So much of quackademia (especially the "Ivy League" is controlled by ... well, you know. It was only due to Trump's public shaming that Harvard could no longer accept "Covid-19" financial aid. (here)
Though Trump's unprecedented tax on these endowments has been very useful in calling more attention to this horrific and hypocritical hoarding, the real solution here is for a fascistic mandate for the common good.
Mike's Plan --- Commandeer these endowments by forcing our "institutions of higher learning" to apply the annual income generated toward free tuition for all students -- which can then be paid back to the endowment in the form of a lifetime 0.5% garnishment from every graduate's salary. No student loans and no mortgaging the house for Junior's college. And just for good measure --- let's round up the Marxist professors by the thousands and string them up by their necks from the campus trees as an example for posterity.
Hey -- I can dream ... can't I?
It's not enough for these academic Marxists to brainwash the students, but they have plunged them into debt as well. Execute these sons-of-bitches and seize control over all of the endowment funds!
Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the New York Times today that many universities made record returns on their endowment funds.
Boobus Americanus 2: That's good. Maybe that will help to keep tuition rates down.
St. Sugar: Boobuss, you cretin! They'll jusst hoard that money and keep increassing tuition by 10% every year.
Editor: Medicine and Education have got to be the most corrupt and destructive cash cartels operating in America today.

Newcastle loanee available on a permanent deal for a cut-price fee
Kieran Harm
Newcastle loanee Danny Rose is available on a permanent deal for the cut-price fee of just £5m this summer, according to Football Insider.
Rose's contract with Tottenham is due to expire next summer and with the current economic climate in football, the North London club are keen to move him out this year.
Rose has made just five appearances so far for the club and each one has been as average as the last. He's not really managed to immerse himself with the fans and quite irritated a lot of us a few weeks back when he declared he'd like to play for Leicester.
Even at £5m, he'll need to seriously improve for the rest of the season to get the fans on board with the idea of bringing him back to the club this summer.
The alternative is Jetro Willems – who has been on loan at Newcastle all season but was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign when he picked up a knee injury against Chelsea in January.
Danny Rose playing for Newcastle United – we could reportedly bring him in permanently for just £5m this summer
His performances were great, his personality off the pitch shone through and he has a serious desire to become a Newcastle United player – as he has stated on social media on numerous occasions.
His loan is due to expire at the end of this month and Newcastle have the option to make it permanent for a fee reportedly in the region on £7m – £2m more than we can apparently get Rose for.
Willems is also younger and will be able to play his part for the club for at least quite a few years at 26. Meanwhile, Danny Rose is about to turn 30 and is very much over the hill ability-wise.
To add insult to an already fairly injured cause, Rose turned up to training ahead of the restart out of shape. Pictures of him from last week's friendly with Middlesbrough showed an overweight player who doesn't seem to care too much about the team he's representing…
I think, from what I've said, you can guess which of the two I'd rather we signed. Who would you go for? Leave a comment below.

Ten trends set to redefine higher education ahead
Published On : 31 January, 2021 12:55 pm
Prof. Ujjwal K Chowdhury
If there are two sectors which are all set to alter like never before post pandemic, they surely are healthcare and education.
The pandemic has brought in digital education for the moment, which is expected to evolve into blended education going ahead blending the physical with the digital which I would like to call a 'PhyGital' model. There are challenges of digital access and entire South Asia needs a major digital connectivity movement within and beyond the government efforts. Education, specially the higher education of the university, is set to alter even due to the New Education Policy announced by the government of India.
So what major changes do we expect to redefine higher education ahead? Here is a list being attempted in brief.
Breakdown of walls among 'streams' and 'disciplines' of education with majors and minors coming in
Most universities now will be moving towards doing away with hitherto tight compartmentalized education divided among streams and disciplines, like arts, sciences, commerce, law, engineering, etc. They would bring in the concept of minor specialization from micro-biology to music to photography. Young learners will have option to pick a domain as their major, say engineering, and twin it up with a minor specialization (not just an elective) which can be as diverse as photography or music from the heart, or management to go well with technology learning. Even half a decade earlier, this was unthinkable in India.
The PhyGital: Blended is the way ahead: online and offline seamlessly blending
Education would now these four to be relooked at: content creation, content delivery, learners' engagement and learners' evaluation. Content creation earlier was about power-point presentations and a text book along with a couple of reference books for a course. This in the blended world will have proprietary content (mentor's own slideshow, videos, podcasts, notes, info-graphics) coupled with aggregated content from diverse open sources including various Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The open sources can be free MOOCs like Swayam, videos from YouTube and Vimeo, podcasts, slideshare, pdfs of chapters and books, case-studies, animation and info-graphics etc. Mentor's job is to aggregate all these diverse but relevant content and place it before the learners in advance before discussed online of face-to-face based on flipped classroom approach in which learners learn one round themselves all of these asynchronously at their end and then they meet for a synchronous digital or physical discussion where it is interactive, learners speak more, and doubts are clarified. Delivery of content is done in diverse ways: face to face, digitally in advance, digital through platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, Webex etc. Blended also brings in multiple ways of digital and face to face methods of engaging the learners to make them internalize the learning: quiz, debate, online survey or poll, critical comments, make a presentation based on earlier self-study, use of interactive smart boards, etc. Even evaluation or assessment is changing from merely course-end written examination to a blended approach of multiple evaluations: open book exams, written analytical and applied exams face to face or from remote, interview, quiz, case-study, verbal presentation, project-completion, prototype making, etc, through which diverse skills and comprehension are evaluated, and on a continuous basis, and not merely at the end of a course. So evaluation becomes formative during the course and summative when the course ended. Every university will be moving towards this blended diverse layered approach ahead.
Internships & Field Projects must, even in liberal arts & sciences
The next big change coming in higher education at the university level is having is getting internships in government or non-government organizations, MSME or large corporate houses, along with live projects with a client, as compulsory part of the degrees, with credits and scores for them. Young learners of the university have to do projects and internships, even if they are in liberal arts, literature, natural sciences, commerce education during the summers (at times in winters) and submit reports to complete their specific semesters. Such projects and internships were common in engineering, management, law, media and design courses, which now will be across board, and it is for better practical learning.
Learning from Anywhere: The World is One Big University
The significance of enormous real estates of universities, the exclusivity of your faculty, the challenges of accessing learning resources from ivy league institutes or top class professors shall soon be on a steady decline in the PhyGital world of education ahead. The online is allowing accessing content and live sessions by top scholars from anywhere in the world. An MOU between two universities from two continents is now allowing faculty member of one address learners from both the universities. Also, almost all universities are tying up with online education providers like Coursera, Upgrad, Unacademy, etc, and adding another dimension to their usual and traditional teaching-learning pedagogy on campus.
Learning to Learn: Preparing for One Life Many Careers
Earlier generations of learners equipped for one career as a lifetime mission: being an engineer, business manager, doctor, communication professional, designer, et al. Increasingly with longer life and job-place uncertainty, the new realization is coming that there is not much of a life-time career left. Post pandemic, in the new furthermore VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous), the need for multiple careers and multi-skilling is on the rise. Hence, the concept of minor specialization as well. One has to learn ways and means to self-learn. Hence, the concept of flipped classroom as well. The universities are creating components and exposure to ensure learning to learn.
Decline of the Degree, Rise of the Skills
Some of the top new age global corporate majors, like Facebook, Google, et al, had already announced that they would recruit not by degrees, but by skills-sets, portfolio and competencies. The significance of degrees in the post-pandemic brave new world shall be even lesser. Employers need usable skills and competencies and jobs moving out of the government departments, the trend is getting stronger by the day. Universities are realizing that their degree-centricity in operations has a limited shelf-life, and hence focusing more on hands-on competencies based skill-learning.
Creativity & Problem-solving at the Core of Learning
Since all repetitive work in the new VUCA world shall be taken away by automation and robotics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning would easily predict steps or activities in a production chain, humans will have to strive to move to things that cannot be replicated. Hence, the new age youth shall be expected to solve hitherto unknown or less predicted problems, find creative solutions to questions, develop a new template or model or sample, innovate production process or product usage, manage crises, and do team-work and give leadership to collective initiatives that create wealth and add value in society. All of these need an education which bans rote learning, gives less premium to merely information or data, but nurtures innovative thinking and practice, creativity and problem-solving among the learners. Pedagogy that creates a design-thinking capability in the higher education learners is being increasingly utilized.
Outcome Based Education (OBE)
Quite often we hear about scores, grades, degrees, marks as the primary outcomes of education. Not so much now and they are at best by-products or collateral gains of higher education, not the core ones. So every university program and course now are finalizing the learning objectives and outcomes of the specific programs and courses, and mapping the content of the modules and the projects and assignments all to these objectives and outcomes. Such outcomes are qualitatively and quantitatively being first formulated and later, after the delivery of the program or the course, they are being assessed through mentor's and learners' feedback and evaluation. It is a very different scenario emerging in higher education through this OBE approach which goes far beyond merely completing a course, taking a written examination, evaluating and giving a degree or diploma till the recent past.
Life Sciences, Business & Liberal Arts-Communication most Preferred at PG
With automation and AI coming in and repetitive manufacturing or routine service jobs getting mechanized, the domains of life sciences research and development, business models and approaches, and liberal arts-communication skills and careers are becoming the focus of higher education in the universities. The demand in these subjects has gone up more than 23% in 2020 by a recent estimate, while engineering in most places has been hit hard.
Soft & Life Skills, Added to Incubation, Must for all Masters
All good Masters courses, irrespective of the major or minor specializations, are now making soft and life skills as compulsory components of learning to make the learners equipped with better emotional intelligence and communication skills. They are also adding goal-focused career-planning, start-up culture and entrepreneurial skills more so because even those appointed as trainee managers or entry-level officers are expected to own up the tasks given and function with a custodian mind-set.

I was born and raised in Lancaster, Ohio, home to the best county fair in the state, birthplace of William Tecumseh Sherman (sorry, Atlanta) and his brother John (author of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act). My grandfather, who knew both his churches and his bars, used to say that Lancaster had more of both than any town he'd ever seen. My mother and father met in Normandy, in 1944. She was an officer. He wasn't. After the war they got married. My dad became a salesman. My mom became a mom. I have two brothers. I competed in sports that don't impress girls — swimming, track, cross country. I voted in the great Rabbit v. Trix election, in favor of the Rabbit. I served a term as president of the Fairfield County Teenage Republicans. I'm pretty sure the other members elected me so they'd have more time to make out with each other. After crushing my mother with the news that I was not going to law school, I became a writer like I'd always wanted. I wrote my first short story at age five. It was supposed to be about Dan'l Boone, but if you were to read it you'd say it's really more about Fess Parker and Ed Ames. Since then, I've written for many magazines and newspapers like The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Science, Outside, Esquire, and MIT Technology Review. I spent five years as Glamour magazine's Jake columnist, then became a contributing editor there. I was also a contributing editor at Wired where I covered biotechnology. Today I write books, mostly, and contribute to the Atlantic as well as Outside and other magazines. A reporter once asked me why I write what I write. I wanted to say something all vision-y and wound up giving an embarrassingly pretentious answer. I write what I write in hopes you'll be interested. I am. Things get under my skin and I need to scratch.
I once won an altar boy award. I'd like to say it was because of excellent incensing, or candle lighting, but it was mainly for showing up. I also won an essay contest in the eighth grade. They gave me a $25 U.S. savings bond. I've been a finalist for the National Magazine Award, and been recognized by the John Bartlow Martin Award for public interest journalism administered by Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. I've also been honored with the Ohioana Book Award for non-fiction, Books By the Banks book festival, and been a finalist for the California Book Awards. Addiction to good movies, mainly old ones, is a monkey on my back. I surf. I drink my own cocktails. I've spent years trying to learn blues harp, so if someday you see me standing on a corner wailing "Hootchie Cootchie Man," drop a few shekels in the hat, OK?

Sarah Brown to Judge Best-Shod Award at England's Grand National
By Albert Dickenson posted on April 8, 2022 | Posted in Disciplines & Breeds
Brown becomes first female farrier to judge a portion of the competition
This year's Grand National will be ground-breaking; Sarah Brown will be the first female farrier to judge the Best Shod portion of the race, according to the Yorkshire Post.
The award is given to the horse owner and farrier deemed to have the best shod horse, both in terms of safety and fit.
"When we judge the shod, [we] don't know which horses are [which] – all we're given is a stable number. That keeps it transparent," says Brown, whose farrier business is based in Northallerton, England. "It keeps it level and it means you really are just judging what you see. If a horse is well shod, they're going to have more traction and grip on landing and ability to keep on track."
Brown is no stranger to breaking barriers in farriery. She was the first female farrier to attain the Fellowship of the Worshipful Company of Farriers in October 2015. The honor is held by fewer than 40 people worldwide. Brown found her passion for horses at an early age, and attended Oatridge College in Scotland. Her advisor recommended she not get into farriery, stating the trade was not "ladylike."
"If you put [in] the effort and you sacrifice and you try and get to the top of your job in your industry, then the rewards are there," says Brown. "I want to inspire girls and boys."
During the 2021 race, Rachel Blackmore, of Ireland, became the first female jockey to win the Grand National.
The 2022 Grand National, held Saturday, April 9, at the Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England, will see 40 jockeys compete. It is one of England's most celebrated races, and one of the oldest, dating back to 1839. The 2022 event scheduled can be found here.
"Over the 3 days, we're going to be looking at just under 100 horses to see if they're shod suitably for the ground they're running on," says Brown. "They've got to be shod for the right length – they're traveling at a fast pace over deep ground so we don't want to see any shoes coming off."
Times They (Still) Are a Changin': Farriery is an art and science steeped in tradition. Within that tradition is a commitment to honoring the basics. Yet, there is always a constant evolution within the system. New products come and go. New theories and research emerge that reshape our thinking about the horse. Some things will never change, but many others do.

Homemade Gelli plate tools – from PAPER!
I have been having a right old play and came up with a handful of what I think are surprising tools for Gelli Plate printing. For today I am going to focus on PAPER tools – because, frankly, if I tried to do them ALL this post would be book-length LOL!
OK, so remember a week or so back I said I had the idea to use my embossing folders as texture plates, and that I saw someone had done that? I was thinking on that and recalled the MANY times I had tried to use my embossing folders for their intended purpose (i.e. embossing cardstock) and because I hadn't been as attentive to the cleaning process as I should have been, I mucked up my pristine cardstock. DOH! So I was thinking I should do what I've done before and emboss a bit of thick packaging acrylic and use that instead. Fine and dandy, but I had used up all my packaging. So I got to thinking – would just good old cardstock (or maybe thinnish cardboard) work? By gosh and by golly, it does!
I embossed some cereal-box weight card – I cut it to the size of my Gelli plate then embossed the whole area, not just the once thru. No, it doesn't line up exactly, but Gelli prints aren't meant to be precise so I don't care. You can see the cardboard "plate" there at the top and kind of see the plate, pre-print.
I had pulled a clean-up print , which you will see later, and added the wood-grain over it. I have to say I think it looks pretty cool.
This is another one. again, a clean up print.
So that got me thinking. If this worked, what other stuff did I have that would ALSO work? I thought about THESE that I found while tidying up. This time, I simply embossed heavy cardstock – the rubber embossing mechanism is simply not strong enough to emboss anything heavier and give a good, deep, impression.
The trick is to work quickly – lay the paper on the rolled-out paint and sort of pat the back – you only want to remove the paint that is in contact with the raised embossing. Press too hard and you will remove too much.
You can see the print. The width is limited to the width of the roller.
Another thing I tried – I was getting a little frustrated with masking. The paper circles kept slipping. So I grabbed a roll of contact paper – it has just enough grip to stick to the print. Just make 100% sure the paint is DRY or it will stick too hard and rip!
I printed another layer, with the waves in the other direction. I like this one! You can see I have pulled of the contact paper circles and stuck them to a bit of an old plastic placement. That lets me use them again.
Next I tried wrapping the embossed strip around a kid's block. That worked too, but the waves are fairly light as there is native pressure from the weight of the block itself.
This was pulled off the dirty plate from the previous print – remember I mentioned you can get clean-up prints with other than white, heavy-bodied paint? This was pretty thin-bodied craft paint and it really pulled up the ghost of the last one, as you can see. The lemon coloured wavy lines across the circles leftover under the masks from the last pull, and from the roller. A by product of using the contact paper is that the paint stays put – at least partially. Using PAPER masks gives you lovely bits that are printed to use for other things, but contact paper gives you a second pull that is pretty nifty.
Just a couple more that I did, the first just waves, this way and that, about three layers of purples with masked circles.
My favourite effect with this is using metallic paint. And as you can see my embossed paper plates have been well used and they STILL work! When they don't, it costs me nothing to just do another one.
I did orange OVER the dirty plate and the gold still came thru! If you look back, you can see this is the same print I used the wood grain over, above.
So, that is the first set – see what I mean? I could have added 10 more photos, but I won't. I still have a couple of pretty surprising things to add tomorrow, but this should get you started – I mean, who doesn't have paper, right?
What a lovely comment 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Great prints and very good idea with the embossing! I've been thinking about using some of my embossing folders like a stamp but this may be an even better idea and keep the folders clean.
Thanks so much for sharing this awesome idea!! beautiful prints too!!!
Love your variety of gelli prints! Isn't it just too much fun!!
No I know what to do with that corrugated cardboard that's been whispering in my ear… Great stuff here – thank you!
Love both your resourcefulness AND your work!
Such great ideas in here! And all so affordable!
Very cool to see this idea in action. I had embossed some card stock the other day for use on my Gelli Plate but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It does produce some beautiful prints!
Great idea, I caved and bought a gelli and don't want to get my folders full of paint. Thanks for giving me a reasonable way to get some neat backgrounds!
Would love to see what you are going to do with all of the lovely printed paper you are making!
Wow! Thanks for sharing these great results. Can see I'm going to have to get a plate, and I was resisting so hard.
Look forward to seeing what you come up with tomorrow.
