Students in UK face deportation

-

Panic as Indian students amongst those in UK facing deportation.

About 350 Indian students are among the more than 2,600 students could be kicked out of the UK after the Government stripped a university of its right to admit foreigners.
London Metropolitan University came under fire from the UK Border Agency – it has had its authority for sponsoring international students revoked and will no longer be allowed to authorise visas, according to the institution's website.

The National Union of Students (NUS) said that this could mean more than 2,000 students being deported within 60 days unless they find another sponsor. Immigration minister Damian Green said the university proved to be a "very, very deficient" sponsor on three counts: more than a quarter of students sampled were studying there when they did not have permission to stay in the country. A "significant proportion" of students did not have a good standard of English and there was no proof that half of those sampled were turning up to lectures, he said.
What this means is that many international students of this University now face deportation since London Met had its license to teach and recruit students from outside the EU revoked. On the bright side, although this means a disruption in the individual’s course continuity, students have been given 60-days to find alternative courses before they are forcibly removed.

Voice Clarity Tips - 1

This post is about Voice clarity.Let's see how we can achieve that in our vocalization, if not in our lives! In any communication, written or oral, your goal is to be understood by your listener, or reader- your audience. Clarity in speech is of two kinds- verbal and vocal. Verbal clarity would mean that your content shows continuity of thought. Vocal clarity means you do not speak too fast or too slowly. You do not have a heavy accent, you do not slur or mumble your words, and you use standard pronunciation for your word. There is no heavy deviance in basic speech sounds (vowels and consonants). You have some tone changes echoing the meaning of a given thought- for example, sad, powerful, questioning,humorous, wise, authoritative, or agreeable.  Finally there is some up and down rhythm or  intonation  giving expressiveness and mood to your voice .
