Gamification is the education topic du jour. With new game-based learning environments being touted as a solution to all the problems of the modern classroom, we urge the G4C community to question trends before investing in them. Provocative voices from diverse sides of the gaming-for-learning industry rant against the idea that any of the models already in use are particularly effective applications of video games in the classroom. Attendees may get puzzled or confused, or simply take away a new lens for looking at gamifying schools (or schoolifying games).
I am so beyond pissed right now!! I still don't have Alma's body from Xaga Doll. I honestly can't believe this bull! I ordered the body in February thru MOC and I haven't heard from either company since. And to add fuel to the fire, other people on DOA who ordered thru other dealers LAST month are getting their dollies right now while me and two others are still waiting on any news. I have sent Xaga Doll three translated emails now and still no answer. Looks like I just wasted my time buying this body, but thank god for refunds.

Church of St Margaret,
Monument to Sir Thomas Rant †1671. Marble. North aisle east end
The monument is one of three saved from the earlier church. A hipped inscription is framed by coloured Ionic columns. The coat of arms is set between consoles while the apron is decorated with a bunched hanging cloth. In style it is close to the work of William Stanton, notably the Monument to John Fountayne †1671 in St Peter and Paul, Salle, which has been attributed to Stanton.
Sir Thomas was the third son of William Rant of Yelverton. A lawyer he qualified at Grays Inn in 1629. Although a royalist he took no active part during the civil war, retiring, as the inscription notes, to Norfolk, where he acquired an estate at Thorpe Market, presumably to be close to the family holding of Coxford-Priory Manor. Although a court supporter he was elected to the Convention for Norwich in 1660, when he was knighted, he never stood again. By 1634 he had married Mary Burwell from Woodbridge. He built four almshouses in Thorpe Market.

For 510-526-0203, one big outdoor and indoor breeding. Right now it’s caring Canaries, male and female. She takes all the credit. They need help soon. I lost a lot of money and time, etc. There are also parakeets. One is green, one is blue and one is yellow. Help needed ASAP. Ask for Pookie. The kid that this is Jane.

Shoes of beauty but shoes of extreme discomfort. I've worn them before and they've been fine, but tonight (work conference meal) they were agony within a few minutes. So I took them off and went barefoot. Barefoot for drinks, barefoot for dinner, barefoot for the awards ceremony and barefoot for haranguing my Director in the bar afterwards. I'd like to think he found my comments insightful and helpful but I fear he might just have thought I was a bit pissed and ranty.
........we miss u Akshaya! miss those "thinDi beedi" ventures, weekend trips, photography talks, nonsense rantings etc etc.... :(
My cousin and one of my very few closest friends :) This was in Agumbe last year.... what fun we all had! Makes me wanna relive those moments :)
(DISCLAIMER: The 'rant' should never be taken seriously. Or anything I say, for that matter.) Prestige Class. Team Rebel. Rebels United. Awesome Shots. Fotografia United. Gang Family. Implus. iPhonesia. AMPt. I could go on, but I'm already starting to feel nauseous. I'm talking, of course, about all the so called 'groups' on Instagram — and I have a few questions for all you groupies. How do I get invited to one of these groups? Why haven't I been approached regarding membership already? (Outrageous!) Who decides whether I meet the membership criteria or not? What is the criteria? Is there any? Do I have to take an entry test, or is one simply selected from on high? Are these groups accredited? If so, by whom? Instagram? What are the benefits of group membership? Do I get a tie or a badge, for instance? Do I have to pay a fee to join? Will I have to perform any duties as part of my membership, like going to meetings, helping around the office or mentoring new members? How do I become an 'elite member' of said groups (because I like the 'self important' vibe that comes with that sort of title)? What would I have to do in order to get kicked out of one of these groups? (Because whatever it is, I'd like to try it.) Can I start my own group? And, finally, why on earth would I want to be in a made-up group anyway? P.S. Please send all prospective invitations to idontgiveacrap@lachlanpayne.com. (Cue mass unfollow by groupies.) Anyway here's a technicolor sunset. (I had to delete then re-post it because I think I messed up the edit first time around. Sorry about that.)

livelymary: @lachlanpayne I was copying all sorts of group hashtags without realizing they belonged to groups - groups that I wasn't a member of. Supposedly #popularpage isn't to be used unless your photo actually made it to the popular page. And how embarrassing to discover that #earlybird is for photos edited with a certain filter - not just people waking before noon!!!
lachlanpayne: @livelymary Oh dear. Group-specific hashtags, only allowed to be used by their members? Sounds like a lot of nonsense to me, Mary! You make your own rules!
flipsurf66: Thats a great bit of sky you have there - nice one.
lachlanpayne: @flipsurf66 Thanks Phil.
everlilly: This leaves me breathless.
casstaway: HAhahahaha i like your rants. I didn't even know groups existed .. That's how worthless they are.
lachlanpayne: @casstaway Thanks Cassaundra. Glad you like them. Thanks for all the comments.

T-39 - Noor in Zone 2. She is the reigning queen of Ranthambhore raising her third litter. She has been probably the most photographed tigress in Ranthambhore for the past 3 years and on the way to become a legend.

I wear glasses because I need them. I know I don't usually wear them in photos, I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not one of those annoying, pretentious hipster twats that wear glasses they don't need to make themselves look like every other pretentious hipster twat. I've never quite got that, really. Wearing glasses if you don't need them. I guess the next thing to do to be omgkewl will be to wear a prosthetic leg, or use crutches, because if pretending to have a vision impairment is cool, why not extend it along the disability scale? It'd be so ~edgy~.
Having a hard few days, so if my faux polaroids are late or rubbish, forgive me.

We get so much junk on the phone that normally be don't answer it unless we have reason to expect it to be something very very important. Most people who have something worthwhile to say will leave a message, which we can interrupt or reply to later.
Today we are hoping for a call from a bank about a messup they've made. The only person who will try to sort it out has left a message twice, but if we attempt to call back his phone is always engaged because he's gone on to the next person. Today we vowed to be at home and answer every incoming call. So far we've had:
1. The fellow from the Indian subcontinent who wants to tell us that our non-existent Windows machine has a problem.
2. The recorded lady who wants to help us claim for mis-selling of PPI by the banks.

The current moment, while we are all trying to avoid touching physical cash, is the perfect time to have a serious talk.
You likely have heard that it costs about two and seven cents to mint the US penny and the nickel, respectively. These are also time-consuming to count out and a hassle to carry around. If cash-register purchases were rounded up or down to the nearest 10 cents, in the long run it would not cost anybody any more or less.
If you believe that somehow it is important to micro-adjust pricing of goods to reach some supply/demand optimum, you need to explain why we didn't need a 0.1 cent coin in 1951, when the inflation-adjusted value of all our money denominations was ten times greater than now. The value of one penny has become so low that it's starting to get ridiculous.
Canada got rid of its penny in 2012 making room in cash drawers for handy one- and two-dollar coins. These are of course far more durable than paper bills.
As a bonus point, new Canadian bills are printed using a slippery plastic base (allowing various anti-counterfeiting details), and if you felt like it you could safely wash them with soap and water.
