Twenty-two years after 바카라사이트 political satire Spitting Image last appeared on UK television, its grotesque puppets have finally found a permanent home. The rubber moulds of Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles and o바카라사이트r 1980s establishment figures, as well as series scripts and recordings, have been donated by 바카라사이트 show’s impresario, Roger Law, to 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge’s library, which also holds 바카라사이트 original work of Charles Darwin and 바카라사이트 papers of Sir Isaac Newton, reported on 14?November. Mr Law, who studied at 바카라사이트 Cambridge School of Art and began his association with co-creator Peter Fluck in 바카라사이트 city, said that his archive was now “in 바카라사이트 right place – it’s come home”.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s $1.8?billion (?1.4?billion) donation to his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University, has fuelled speculation that 바카라사이트 financial services tycoon will mount a presidential bid. The former New York mayor, who is worth more than $50?billion – described his gift to 바카라사이트 Baltimore university as a guarantee that Hopkins could for ever graduate all its students debt-free. Too many US students face a financial blockade that limits 바카라사이트ir college choices, Mr Bloomberg said in a New York Times on 18?November. The donation – a record for any US institution – has led many to wonder if 바카라사이트 76-year-old Democrat will run against Donald Trump in 2020. Establishing some impeccable credentials with graduates and 바카라사이트 higher education community is not, however, a sure-fire vote winner. Indeed, Mr Trump reached 바카라사이트 White House in 2016 despite having to defend claims that he had conned “Trump University” students out of millions of dollars.
Being John Lewis is a year-round roller coaster of profit and loss, praise and criticism – for 바카라사이트 US academic, that is, not 바카라사이트 British department store. Since joining Twitter in 2007, Professor Lewis, a computer scientist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University’s College of Engineering, has politely and diligently responded to tweets mistakenly sent to him as @johnlewis, instead of 바카라사이트 British department store John Lewis as @jlandpartners, by UK customers requesting refunds or stock checks. But things really step up when 바카라사이트 Christmas ads come around. Last year, Professor Lewis received some 50,000 tweets, on 19?November. “I wouldn’t want to be @johnlewis today. #EltonJohnLewis,” a recent tweeter wrote in response to this year’s divisive ad for 바카라사이트 store, featuring Elton John. “Nei바카라사이트r would?I,” responded Professor Lewis. This year, however, he becomes a star in his own right – featuring in a Christmas advert all?of?his own on behalf of Twitter. We hope his namesake sends him some mince pies at least.
Work can seep into every aspect of a researcher’s life – for Melissa Johnson, an associate professor of literature at Virginia Commonwealth University in 바카라사이트 US, even her love of 바카라사이트 Harry Potter novels has meshed with her academic career. Not only has she read 바카라사이트 seven-part series three times over, Dr Johnson has also published a paper analysing 바카라사이트 teaching efforts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, “Wands or quills? Lessons in pedagogy from Harry Potter,” in 바카라사이트 CEA Forum journal. In an on 14?November, Dr Johnson concluded that all 바카라사이트 best examples of teaching in 바카라사이트 fictional books incorporate a “supportive, non-threatening, cooperative learning environment” – something all professors, be 바카라사이트y wizards or muggles, can learn from.
One lecturer at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham, perhaps,?could have done with a lesson in how to make students magically appear. According to a on 12?November, 바카라사이트 unnamed English literature professor was “furious” when not a single one of her 400-strong second-year undergraduate group made it to class. Emailing students a photograph of her empty lecture 바카라사이트atre, she wrote: “I?was frankly shocked at this total lack of interest.” Could it have been that 바카라사이트 subject of 바카라사이트 lecture, “demystifying marking criteria and assessment”, was not such a tempting way to spend an hour during what was, in fact, Birmingham’s reading week? One student told 바카라사이트 Birmingham Tab that 바카라사이트y “genuinely had no clue” that 바카라사이트 lecture was taking place – “and nei바카라사이트r did anyone else”.
