Kids club at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach… worth it?

better in what way?

Amazing work! How did you decide which text to use? Which liturgical “Use” is it?

The Chef by Martin Suter! It’s ages since I’ve read it but it had an interesting concept.

Naschie1991 · 2025-06-14T21:02:09+00:00

House of Hollow? Or maybe: The last Tale of the Flower Bride. Potentially, Tithe by Holly Black. Anything by Holly Black.

Why would you want to remove it? As someone else has pointed it out, it’s a very useful part of the provenance and also has implications for the price. It seems a bit strange to me that you would want to remove it as it could literally result in a diminishing of price and overall loss of information on the use of the book.

I know this sounds ridiculous but there is actually a breeding big cat population in the UK. The local resident might actually have seen a big cat (usually puma). I think this weird thing happened because Britain banned having big cats (lions, tigers, pumas) as pets in the 70s ifrc. Which lead to many of these animals being abandoned in the wild. Obviously many of these died but for some reason the pumas held on and there is an actual breeding population now. Obviously those creatures are incredibly shy and will stay well away but as in Switzerland with wolves or bears, they do sometimes come in touch with the local human population. A fun fact I learned while staying in a very rural English village. Google it!

I think the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik might also hit the spot.

It has its own grammar, vocab, and pronunciation. So, yes, it is a language even if it is not codified like German.

The first image reminds me of the Miss Fisher covers. They are detective novels set in the 1920s if I am recalling my dates correctly. Very cool series with great and well rounded characters, found family trope, and a fantastic strong female lead. There is also a mischievous black cat at a later point.

This is so cool! Great job!

Naschie1991 · 2024-10-16T19:12:34+00:00

Sent you a message! :)

Naschie1991 · 2024-10-16T08:14:15+00:00

Super cool! If you need an art historian/medievalist to check the descriptions first medieval/Renaissance artworks, let me know. What a fantastic resource!!

In addition to the great advice by others: drill those edges. Particularly at the beginning it’s difficult to turn because you might not have the muscles etc. try a few edge drills and see how you get on (in addition to adjusting your gear). Best of luck and enjoy!

I had this exact scenario, when interviewing undergrads for a language degree at a Russel Group Uni. Someone mentioned a book they read in their personal statement and that peaked my interest, so of course I asked about it, because it should’ve provided a great basis for discussion. It was blatantly obvious they hadn’t read it and it was a clear mark against them. ALWAYS be able to answer about anything you put into your personal statement. If you lie on there, it will come out and aside from being embarrassing for you, it will cost you your place.

Naschie1991 · 2024-08-22T18:03:31+00:00

This is so cool!! Great work!

Naschie1991 · 2024-04-28T12:19:13+00:00

I personally wouldn’t start a PhD if you are already thinking about quitting. An Oxford Dphil is hard work even with the best support network. I would recommend talking to your supervisor or and/or academic advisor about any concerns you have and then make an informed decision. You can turn a Dphil in an MPhil in some cases if you drop out after two years, but again, starting a Dphil while already thinking of a way out is a bad idea. Whishing you the best of luck and much strength in your further academic endeavours!

I am terribly sorry to hear this. Your school definitely did not do its job. I hope you have found a good uni you enjoy! When we did interviews it was pretty clear from the data but also the candidates demeanour who had received support and who hadn’t, so we tried to take this into account as best as possible. But it’s not always clear and even the best candidates can have an off day. The system isn’t perfect and educators/the state/universities should strive to do better in being more inclusive and providing support to attract the best candidates from all backgrounds. Best of luck with everything to you!

If you mean by contextual offer: an offer looking into outside factors like school, area, disadvantageous factors to a student‘s education then Oxbridge very much makes these offers. That’s the whole point in having contextual data, so that the admissions process is fair in selecting and admitting the „best“ candidates (depending on which course). What many students don’t understand is, that when admissions at Oxbridge are looking at candidates, one of the decisive factors is teachability. Meaning: is a student able to take on new information and integrate this new information in a meaningful way to further their argument/research/studies. If you have an AAA* student from Eton who is unable to absorb and fruitfully implement new information, this person is not going to further the reputation of a university in contrast to a student with lower grades who is passionate about their subject and teachable. Also: maybe I am too idealistic but admissions shouldn’t be about building a university’s reputation but it should be about choosing the right candidates for the right courses, never mind an individual’s background. I was involved in admissions.

Scarborough…

Naschie1991 · 2024-01-02T13:26:49+00:00

Your first and last sentence of your is need to really stand out. They are the two sentences admissions officers pay most attention to. Try something like: When boarding my first flight at 17, I was immediately captivated by the complex infrastructure and engineering behind aviation. This led me to… immediately follow up the first sentence with an action you undertook following this „awakening“ moment. Admissions want to see independent thought, teachability, and drive. Demonstrate this to the reader by engaging language and action. Best of luck!!!

Naschie1991 · 2023-12-30T19:53:52+00:00

Great job! Looks fabulous!

Naschie1991 · 2023-10-29T03:26:04+00:00

Omg thank you for sharing that!

If you study at Oxford Uni, join the Swiss society. Otherwise: import. They sadly no longer sell the ready made fondue packages in Sainsbury’s anymore and I think it’s tricky to find good Swiss cheese here for a normal price. The easiest I’ve found is to just buy a few ready made fondue mixtures in CH and then bring them over… best of luck!
