Qualification Duration Learning Mode Study Mode Start Month Location
LLM 12 months or 24 months On Campus Learning Full Time or Part Time January View
For January students, the first semester covers courses with the prefix LS55 and there is the compulsory course LS551T Critical Legal Thinking and Scholarship.
All students must take two LS50xx courses and two LS55xx courses.
All candidates must take the following courses:
Critical Legal Thinking and Scholarship (LS551T)
This compulsory course provides students from diverse legal and educational backgrounds with a common understanding of the core research, analytical, and writing skills which would be required to excel in LLM-Taught courses. It commences with a few lectures and progresses to working in a workshop environment and finally to the submission of an individual assignment. It also incorporates elements such as library workshops to provide students with hands-on experience with the resources available for course and dissertation work.
View detailed information about this course
International Human Rights Law (LS5590)
30 Credit Points
The course was designed to help students build competence in dealing with the doctrinal issues about international human rights. It involves understanding the place of human rights in public international law, finding one's way around the foundational human rights documents and the jurisprudence of human rights bodies. The course delivery puts heavy emphasis on classroom discussion on the controversial issues on contemporary human rights law that shape doctrinal development in this field: the justifiability of torture, the limits of freedom of religion, the justiciability of social rights, etc
Three optional courses must be selected. One should be selected from semester 1 and two from semester 3.
Alternatively, one of your three choices could be selected from another LLM programme (excluding LS5097, LS5099, LS501E, and LS551K).
The use of Force in International Law (LS5549)
The course analyses how international law regulates the use of armed forces between States. It is of interest to students who want to understand the legal considerations which frame contemporary conflicts. The course will study the fundamental principle of the prohibition on the use of inter-State force. It will examine the current exceptions to this principle, and how States try to justify the use of force. Consequently, the course will study the most recent recourses to force on the international plane, in particular in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. Teaching will be delivered mainly through discussion based seminars.
International Humanitarian Law (LS551G)
The course explores the history, nature and salient features of the principles of 'the laws and customs of war', also called IHL; they are enshrined, inter alia, in the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977. The principles of distinction, humanity, necessity and proportionality as applied to contemporary armed conflicts are examined. The course emphasises the rules and challenges pertaining to civilian immunity, occupation, legal controls on weapons and how IHL is implemented and enforced. It also clarifies the differences/similarities between IHL and international human rights law and the law on the use of force.
The compulsory dissertation provides the opportunity to research and explore in more detail a specific legal area of your choice.
Master of Laws Dissertation (LS5904)
Between May and mid-August students prepare a 10,000 word dissertation on a topic of their choice related to their specialist LLM programme. Students are instructed through the delivery of a preparatory lecture, two supervisory meetings and a two hour dissertation planning workshop in a small group setting. Students are expected to spend considerable time on independent research throughout the course of the dissertation module, including; preparation of dissertation plan, amendment of plan in accordance with supervisory comments, preparation for the dissertation workshop, and, of course, in the final 10,000 word dissertation itself.
International Law: A Time of Challenges (LS501U)
The course analyses recent developments in public international law. It first considers the sources of public international law. The question is then asked whether traditional public international law can regulate pressing issues on the international plane. Examples of these problems are: international terrorism, nuclear weapons proliferation, protection of human rights, ethnic conflicts, climate change. The course encourages the participant-student to think creatively as an international lawyer to resolve contemporary international dilemmas.
Issues in Criminal Justice (LS5096)
This course is comparative in nature and examines in depth certain aspects of the criminal justice process, focussing upon differences between the adversarial and inquisitorial models. Examples are mainly drawn from Scotland, England and continental Europe. Topics addressed include: prosecution systems; the position of the accused; the status granted to the victim; plea-bargaining; the trial process; and appeals. The emphasis is not so much on 'black-letter law' but on the principles and policies, often clashing, which underlie the detailed legal rules and regulations governing the relevant institutions and processes.

The market has been stuck in a trading range for the last couple of weeks, and that range has tightened even further in the last week. Looking at the SPX we have now seen 5 closes in a row that have occurred within the range of the 3/1/11 bar. Inspired by some gap-related research by Scott Andrews over at Master the Gap using a similar setup, I decided to take a more detailed look at this set of circumstances. What stuck out to me is that 1) the SPX has been in a long-term uptrend. 2) There was a sizable 1-day selloff. 3) The bears failed to follow through on that selloff, yet the bulls have not managed to move the SPX back out of the range either.
Over the last 22 years or so the SPX has burst higher out of this "failed selloff" and consolidation on a consistent basis. But the implications are only bullish for a few short days. After that there does not appear to be a decided edge for either the bulls or the bears.

A: As you can see, the HTML points to the default favicon: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Drupal will not overwrite that, but will upload your custom favicon to "files/...." and then change the HTML to use that.
Your HTML was not changed. That can mean one of two things:

*

*The favicon was not uploaded correctly, Drupal got some error and did not change it.

*The favicon was uploaded correctly, but your theme has the default location hardcoded.

I suspect the latter. Your theme's page.tpl.php files should include <?php print $header ?> instead of the hardcoded  <link rel="shortcut icon" ....

A: Mostly for those having the same issue where the favicon is displayed in the admin pages, but is not showing on the front pages:

*

*make sure you not only change the favicon in the global theme settings but also change the favicon in the settings for your active theme (Appearance > Settings > Click on your theme name)

A: In my case it was using the favicon icon setted bij the opengraph meta property instead of the link rel shortcut icon.
Eg.

It depends on the browser you are using though.
So make sure you are setting both correct in your META module and theme settings.

A: Changing Favicon icon in Drupal
Change the favicon in the settings of your active theme.
Go to Appearance > Your theme Settings >
And unchecked  (Use the default shortcut icon supplied by the theme) then upload your favicon icon and save.

The simplest things in life bring the greatest pleasures.
I am quick to pick up enough of the local language to get by. I have traveled extensively and have always gotten by.
My life has been on a different and pleasantly unusual road that I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned life by. I grew up in Florida and was in the US Air Force during the Vietnam years. I went to Syracuse University and soon followed in my uncle and fathers footsteps and became a funeral director (mortician) owning a business of my own. Some might look at that a morbid job but it taught me about life and death and made me embrace life to its fullest. I then spent several years as a performer/entertainer as an escape artist, yes just like Harry Houdini. I retired after performing throughout the U.S. for 15 years. I moved to Pescadero, Baja Mexico in 2013 where I built a palapa style house in what I called paradise. On 14 Sept. 2013 my home was hit by category 4, 130 mph hurricane Odile which destroyed part of my home. I was rebuilding when in Dec. of the same year my home was completely destroyed by a fire which was caused by a neighbor burning hurricane refuse. I lost everything I had. I decided at that time to travel and see the world so I have outfitted a touring bike and am currently touring the world starting in Beijing, China in Aug. 2015. I am going everywhere and attempting to learn as much about life, the world and myself as possible. I am a hard worker happy with all house duties, gardening and farming plus willing to learn about most anything. I am neat, orderly, clean a non smoker and a light social drinker. I am respectful of your time and property.
I am seeking work for longer than a month and have no problem with long term.
Do not let my age discourage you. I have the working capabilities of a much younger person but with the maturity, disipline and experience that only comes with age. I am a positive, laid back, easy going person. Ok with children and animals.
I am currently bicycle touring and plan to travel around the entire world for an indefinite period. I have simplified my life, sold my possessions and plan to seek work anywhere in the world arriving there by bike or air travel. I am able to travel anywhere at a moments notice and have practically no limits to location or circumstances.
I am good with any aspect of cooking and home duties, and would be invaluable working in a farming/harvesting/gardening situation. I am a hard worker. I was a medic and a physicians assistant in the Air Force for 7 years so I have more than basic knowledge of emergency medical care.
I am very health and in excellent medical physical and mental condition. I have no chronic medical problems and am taking no medications. Even though I am not a vegetarian I can go that route if you prefer.


I was SO excited to get to review the SodaStream Fountain Jet! We love soda, but I actually gave up Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb for Lent. I had my reservations about the SodaStream, because I don't want us to get addicted to something that's equally not good for us, but I began reading the nutrition information. SodaStream Cola has 34 calories per serving, compared to Pepsi & Coca-Cola's 100 calories per serving. Sugar is only 9 g carbs, compared to 27 grams of the other two. And sodium….who even thinks about sodium being so high in soft drinks? Well, Coca Cola has 35 mg of sodium in each serving. SodaStream Cola has only 2 mg. TWO! That is fantastic news!
And the SodaStream has tons of options, too. Regular flavors such as Cola and Dr. Pete (compared to Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb), diet flavors, energy drinks, Sparkling Naturals, Sparkling Water, Sparkling Teas, and My Water. Whatever your favorite may be, SodaStream probably has it!
SodaStream drink mixes are made with different sweeteners, including pure cane sugar in the Sparkling Naturals, but never do the drink mixes contain high fructose corn syrup.
It is SO easy and in all honesty, the ginger ale tasted fresh, crisp, and delicious…more delicious than the store bought kind. I also feel better about us drinking SodaStream drinks because it is a lot better for us. Of course, we still need to enjoy drinks like this in moderation, because they DO contain sugar or sucralose, but it's much better for us than the store bought varieties!
We LOVE our SodaStream! The Dr. Pete is my favorite. I've found our local Staples to have SodaStream syrups at a better price than Target AND if you use your Staples card you get coupons/money off future purchases (with anything you buy at Staples). Whew, that was confusing, right?
No! Not at all…that's good info, thanks!!

SPLA denies infiltration of troops to areas in the White Nile State
21 October 2007 (Miraya FM)
The Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) has denied infiltrating areas in the White Nile State.
Speaking to Miraya FM, the head of the Technical Committee of the Joint Defense Board, Elias Waya, said that the entry of the SPLA soldiers into the area took place with the knowledge of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).
He said that this was intended to stop the spread of illegal arms.
Mr. Waya said that the meeting of the security committee which was held in Renk in the last two days called for the controlling of arms trafficking in both the south and the north.
"The only thing that happened is that there is the redeployment or the check points for those who are moving from south to north or north to south," said Waya.
He added, "they are doing arms trafficking, arms dealing in those areas-some people are going from northern Sudan with their arms selling them to the Upper Nile State and vice vecer".
He said that this made the commanding officer of the SPLA forces in northern Upper Nile to move his forces to Halak, "Halak is within the Gergard district (payam)," he said.
The SAF declined to comment, saying that the security intelligence department is the agency authorized to answer questions on this matter.
However, the spokeswoman of the United Nations Mission in Sudan, Radhia Achouri, told Miraya FM that the Mission has not yet received any information regarding the issue.
"The truth remains unknown," said Achouri.
She said, "we knew this issue through the press," adding that, "these problems will be followed by the concerned body which is the Ceasefire Joint Monitoring Commission".
The Sudan Media Center had reported that more than 600 SPLA soldiers occupied Renk town of the White Nile State, 150 kms south of Kosti.

Q: How to search in Word for spaces that are on the beginning of a new line I have the following issue. I recently wrote a macro that allows me to replace all TAB insertions in a text with a space. This is a must as in the frame I am working in, as it happens a lot (context: document clean-ups after conversions).
Now the one frame where this is bad (thus that a TAB is converted to a space) is when the TAB is on the beginning of a new line. In that specific case it would be better if the TAB was converted to nothing, so the first thing on the beginning of the line would be the a symbol (e.g. the paragraph begins with " xxx", while it should begin with "xxx").
I tried to fix this with the word search function by using wildcards, but to no avail. I thought that I could search for something like "[!?] ?" (thus this would imply, by my reasoning, that Word should search for all instances where there is no symbol at first then there is a space and then there is any symbol). Searching for "^p " also doesn't seem to do the trick.
Would you have any suggestions as to how to solve the issue?
Thank you for any feedback!

A: Searching with wildcards for ([^l|^13])( ) will find a line break - both manual and paragraph breaks - with a following blank (and put them into separate groups). Use \1 in the replace field to omit the blank, but retain the line break.


I'm hoping somebody has some experience here.
I'm planing on cooking Turkey for Easter, and I want to slow cook it to give it a nice smoke flavor. A few online sites I've found say the average time is about a half hour per pound. One or two also recommended searing it at 475 for 20 minutes first. Seems like that would block out some of the smoke flavor though.
So has anybody done this before and are there any tips, tricks or pitfalls I should be aware of?

Can't offer any pellet advice but as for crisping the skin first, I would NOT go that route imho.
I've done quite a few Turkey smokes over lump and found that cranking up the temp in the end works best for crisp skin.
I'm sure you will get good advice from the pellet users on here as they have them figured out very well.
I've done a few Turkeys in my pellet.some turned out good, some not.
Best luck I've had was the ones I've brined and spatchcocked.
You'll probably never achieve real crispy skin unless you cook it at high heat like 350 plus. But as you know the higher the heat the less smoke out of a pellet smoker. Might just as well do it in the oven.
I read somewhere to blaster mayo on the skin for crisby skin. I tried that once and ended up with rubbery black skin.
Try drying off the bird after it comes out of the brine and letting it sit in the fridge uncovered overnight before putting it in the smoker. This seems to help make for somewhat crisber skin.
I'll set my grille on xtreme smoke at 225. I let the bird roll at that temp for a couple hours or more until I think it's got enough smoke. To finish it off I crank up the grille to 275 or 300. Any higher then 300 I've noticed the skin will start to pull back and the meat will start to crack open, not exactly eye candy.
I always wrap my birds tight in foil whether it be Clucker or Turkey immediately after they come out of the smoker. Wrap in foil then some towels and set the in a small cooler. I'll let them rest for up to a hour or two before serving. The rest in a cooler really seems to help for moist pull off the bone meat.
I inject my turkeys instead of brining them. I feel it gives me better results. There are a lot of good injections on the market. I rub down with olive oil very lightly, then add rub. Again, there are many good ones out there. I smoke my turkey at 275F, and it takes 20-25 minutes per pound, but I go by the breast meat temperature (165F). I use apple and cherry pellets, and use an A-MAZE-N Smoker for a good smoke, without overdoing it. If you like, you can cook to 160F, then crank up the heat to 375F to crisp up the skin to your liking.
Thanks Bill and Okie. Definitely some good advice there. I've done whole turkey breast before (skinless) and had good luck. A full turkey will be a first for me though. The thing with the mayo... I recall hearing that before, and with the same results, LOL. I think I'll learn from Bill's experience and pass on the mayo.
I've never Pelletized a Gobbler. I only Inject and Beer Can my Birds, with pleasing results.
Never tried it but I may some day, just out of respect for his memory.
Well, at this point it's all over but the clean up. Everything turned out amazing, and I credit much of my success to the advice I got here.
That's the turkey right before carving.
Let's take a step back though... Here's what I did: After thawing the turkey in the fridge, I brined it for 18 hours, then dried it off, oiled it and put some rub on it. Into the fridge overnight, and then onto the Rec Tec at 240 (yes 240, not 250) to slow cook it an get it some smoke. About 5 hours later, the IT hit 140, and I cranked the grill up to 275 to finish it off. 265 and off it goes. Wrap tight in foil, stuff in cooler for what worked out to be almost an hour and a half while the rest of dinner was finished. Pull out, carve and enjoy.
The only flaw was that it was just a little on the salty side. Too long in the brine. I've brined birds that long before, but they were not completely defrosted like this one was. Lesson learned.
Everything still turned out great though.
white meat turned out just as good, but apparently I forgot to grab a pic.
How much salt you using in your brine.
I normally brine all our feathered friends. Whole cluckers get brined up to 12 hours. Turkeys 24 hours or more. Never turn out too salty.
I use a cup of Kosher salt and a cup of brown sugar and just enough water in the container to cover the bird. I do give them a good rinse tho after coming out of the brine, pat dry then a healthy rub of my fav seasonings.
I typically butterfly them or just cooked breasts. I don't brine them anymore as I don't like the texture change. On breasts I cook till 150-155 and wrap it in a cooler for an hour or two.
I actually normally use Fire and Flavor brand brine mix. It has juniper, rosemary and a ton of other good seasonings in it. This time I used World Market brand brine mix. More salt in it, but it's what was available. Next time I can't get Fire & Flavor, I'll make my own.
Nice thing is the kit comes with a giant ziplock bag to brine the bird in. Cuts way down on the mess.

Norway extends temporary pause for the AstraZeneca vaccine until April 15
By NewsDesk @bactiman63
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has decided to extend the pause in the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine because further investigations are necessary.
On 11th March 2021, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health decided to temporarily pause vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine in Norway. The decision was made after reports of severe clinical cases internationally and a death in Denmark after vaccination. Since then, notifications of similar clinical cases and four deaths have also been received in Norway.

"It is a difficult but correct decision to extend the pause for the AstraZeneca vaccine. We believe it is necessary to carry out more investigations into these cases so we can give the best possible advice about vaccination to the population in Norway, says Geir Bukholm, Director of the Division of Infection Control and Environmental Health at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
"We have therefore decided to extend the temporary pause for the AstraZeneca vaccine until 15 April," he continues.
On 18th March, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) decided to maintain the approval of the AstraZeneca vaccine. EMA considers that the benefits are high and that the reported side effects are rare, but they point out that severe cases of rare side effects cannot be excluded.
European officials: COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca not associated with an increase in the overall risk of blood clots
All the patients in Norway and Europe with the severe clinical picture of blood clots, hemorrhages and low platelet counts developed symptoms within a period of approximately two weeks after vaccination.
A delay in the immunization program has a direct effect on protecting those in the risk groups and on the possibility of easing infection control measures.
"The AstraZeneca vaccine is a good vaccine that protects risk groups against COVID-19. However, it is important to weigh the benefits of vaccination against the risk of rare but serious side effects from continued use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, says Bukholm. "We need more time to consider this balance."
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health wants more information about the following questions:
Is there an increased incidence of the combination of blood clots, hemorrhages and low platelet counts among those who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine compared to those who have not been vaccinated?
If so, what is the reason?
Are there any factors among the patients that may have contributed to the condition such as age, gender or other underlying diseases / conditions?
Bukholm explains that the Norwegian Institute of Public Health is working with clinical experts both in Norway and abroad to identify whether there is a causal relationship through several parallel studies. The investigation is complex and time-consuming but is necessary to be able to make a final decision regarding further use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The Norwegian Medicines Agency and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health are reviewing all notifications of suspected side effects reported after vaccination. Relevant notifications are forwarded to the European Medicines Agency.
A national expert group has been established to advise the Norwegian Institute of Public Health about assessing a possible causal relationship between the severe cases and vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine, and how this should be followed up.
The national reference group for the immunization program is looking at the situation concerning the use / non-use of the vaccine, confidence in vaccines and the immunization program, and the communication of decisions.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health is collaborating with other Nordic health authorities about register analyses, and has a continuous exchange of experience and information with both national and international networks.
The EMA will gather clinical experts and new assessments are expected from EMA in early April.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health stopped dispatching the AstraZeneca vaccine to the healthcare service on 11th March and vaccines that have been received are in storage. Vaccine doses received by the healthcare service prior to the vaccine being put on hold must be stored correctly at the vaccination site.
The pause delays the immunization program by approximately one to two weeks. According to the current delivery plan, there will be around 200,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines in storage during the pause.
People who have received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine will not be offered the second dose until the situation about the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been clarified. We will return with more information on how they can be vaccinated further. Data from clinical trials and follow-up studies in the UK show there is good protection already a few weeks after the first dose, especially against a severe disease course.

Barilla introduces gluten-free pasta
By Becky Oberg G+ 2013-08-12 17:20
Allergic to gluten but love pasta? Pasta giant Barilla is introducing a gluten-free line of pastas.
"Barilla has a rich heritage of delivering quality, trusted products, and we are committed to making sure everyone can enjoy delicious pasta," Claudio Colzani, Chief Executive Officer of the Barilla Group, said in a press release. "We felt it was important to invest in developing a pasta line for the ever-increasing number of people who are adopting gluten-free lifestyles, ensuring that it delivers the taste and texture pasta lovers expect from Barilla."
According to the press release, Barilla Gluten Free Pasta is produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility in Italy. It is made with a combination of non-GMO corn and rice. There are four varieties in the Gluten Free Pasta line – Spaghetti, Penne, Rotini and Elbows. It will be sold in 12-ounce boxes for $2.39. All four varieties will become available in select retail stores beginning in September 2013, and nationally in early2014.
"Gluten Free is a strategic addition to the Barilla pasta portfolio and to the pasta category overall," the company said in the press release. "Many consumers who are making the choice to purchase gluten-free products avoid pasta due to negative taste perceptions, high prices and limited availability. Barilla anticipates the new Gluten Free line will bring these consumers back to the pasta they love and trust."
Most pasta is made from durum flour, and durum flour contains gluten, according to the Mayo Clinic. In fact, the Mayo Clinic recommends people with celiac disease avoid pasta unless it is labeled "gluten-free". Even then there is the risk of cross-contamination, and the "may contain" labeling that warns of cross-contamination is voluntary.
According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, an estimated 1 in 33 Americans has celiac disease. That's about 1 percent of the population. Symptoms of celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder affecting the absorption of nutrients from foods, include bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and poor weight gain.
The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet, as gluten causes the small intestines to become inflamed in people with celiac disease.
Gluten-free sales reached more than $2.6 billion by the end of 2010 and are now expected to exceed more than $5 billion by 2015, according to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.

Yet Another Of The FBI's Own Terrorist Plots... Involves A Group Of Senior Citizens
from the grump-old-terrorists dept
Wed, Jun 6th 2012 8:29am — Mike Masnick
The latest Radiolab "shorts" episode, entitled Grumpy Old Terrorists, seems like a bit of a departure in subject matter for that program -- but fits right in with something we've been talking a lot about lately. Over the past few years, we've noticed the rather disturbing trend in how the FBI keeps publicly celebrating stories about stopping terrorist plots -- but in almost every case the details show that it was actually just stopping its own terrorist plots that it feeds to hapless individuals, often nudging them and pushing them down the road to "become" terrorists, despite commonly displaying little to no aptitude for actual terrorism.
In the last few weeks, the mainstream press has started to notice this as well, with stories about it appearing in both the NY Times and Rolling Stone. However, the Radiolab episode highlights a similar, but slightly different story, that was actually covered in great detail in an article in Esquire a few months back, entitled Waffle House Terrorists -- which includes the mugshots of the four "terrorists."
The youngest one of that bunch is 65-years old. The oldest is 73. As the Radiolab episode and the Esquire piece detail, while these guys do seem hateful, they also seemed absolutely unable to do anything... until an "FBI informant" joined their pack and pushed and prodded them along, introducing them to the "contacts" to get weapons and even providing "the money" to buy said weapons. The Esquire article goes into great detail about the "informant" and his rather questionable legal history (he first contacted the FBI while in jail for molesting his wife's daughter from a previous marriage).
On Radiolab, they play the audiotapes the guy made of the plotting -- and there's obviously some crazy stuff being said. But, as they look deeper into the role of the informant, the Radiolab hosts conclude the episode by noting that the whole situation doesn't really make them feel any safer. Yes, these old guys were hateful and helped join in this plan to cause lots of death and destruction. But, so much much of the plot and the participation of these guys really does seem driven by the "informant," who does not seem like the most credible of guys. And it's this exact scenario that we keep seeing over and over again. It may not reach the level of entrapment, and it may put some people really ignorant and crazy people in jail -- but is this really the best use of the FBI's time and efforts? Creating bogus "terrorist" plots involving people who had no real means to actually do anything?

When did the FBI turn into the Nightwatch? I just hope they don't start busting out the black armbands. Of course, at least then we'd easily be able to tell who the stooges are.


Friday evenings are apparently not a good time for me to expect to produce a blog post. Noted.
I'm already at 2,500+ words. Feature articles for the journal where I'll be submitting this article are generally 3,000-5,000 words. I'm not sure I've actually really said anything yet. It's mostly been trying to explain concepts and document the use cases so I can then get into a discussion of the problems and how to address them. I think I have a lot of tightening and concisination to do – and I might need to use better words.
The day also ended on a somewhat complicated note. For my last bit of writing this week I was attempting to document strategies and ideas that have been employed to move XML into RDF. I re-entered an article I apparently read over the summer which had some cool ideas about viewing simpleTypes and complexTypes in XML schema files and setting up RDF classes and properties based around those. Those are the notes I have but that was apparently only part of it. The article also formulates mathematical equations to determine the similarities between duplicate elements in the schema based on where they appear in the hierarchy of elements in the XSD. They also discuss other articles that have made attempts to strategize converting XML to RDF – articles I haven't read yet. I bet that I was supposed to do that and forgot. And that was Friday afternoon – blergh.
And now it's holiday time and I'm taking time off this week and next to take a solid break and be with my family. It sounds great but this unfinished business is going to be nagging at the back of my head. This is where downtime doesn't always work so well for me. If I can't get my head away from this I tend to drift back into reading and research and then break is over and I don't feel like I took one.
If I work on anything during break time I will admit it and blog about it. I'd like to be honest with myself about how much time it takes me to research and write. And it is interesting to me but it is not my life. My life is preparing to invade my house for five days of awesome insanity and also sitting next to me right now playing Tales of Zestiria, perching above my head, and possibly trying to take out my holiday tree (or at least the ornaments on it).
It really is my favorite time of year and I need to stop and enjoy. The point here is that hopefully I won't be back at it for a couple weeks.
I took a bike ride on the trail today and saw a heron hunting in the creek and a deer hanging out on the trail. These are not pictures of them.
Today was a day of all writing! It was tougher than I thought though. I have examples of different places transitioning from XML to RDF metadata for various reasons and I want to document each of those within the article for discussion. I was under the impression that documentation would not be complicated but each case was actually really tough to get my brain back into and remember what I read and what they were doing. I started formulating this idea of treating these articles and presentations as use cases after I had read or encountered some of them so my notes tended to be too high-level and I had to revisit the articles and presentations again. But today helped me shape some of my thinking and suspicions about triple stores and their relationship to Fedora. And it's making me want to get into the Dive into Hydra-Works Tutorial, which I'm going to do but possibly not until I pick up the research leave again after the holidays. I doubt I can get through it in one day and I should continue writing tomorrow – that's a stronger way to end this week, I think.
Today was finally a whole day dedicated to research leaving! Lots of reading and no writing, but lots of reading! At this point it feels like my article is going to be all about how complicated this topic is because everyone is talking about the same things in different ways and it's hard to keep it all sorted. We seem to have a split in views between the Semantic Web world and the Library world on how to discuss things like URIs, for example. Semantic Web folks seem to think of them as links with meaning for a web of data where the Library world talks about them as authorized sources for common reference points. If they aren't the same thing, they're awfully close and we might just need to high five and move on to making this stuff work.
And I still made it to the gym! High five for me too!
I wrote a little in the morning and a little in the afternoon and did nothing towards my article the rest of the day. Fail, fail-y fail fail. I work worked today instead and I think I managed to finish some things that needed to be done but they took much longer than I thought they would. And I rode the bike into the office for a committee meeting. On the plus side, that was the daily workout, but the focus of the day was, unfortunately, work.
I also think that what I wrote today might end up in the trash but I'm continuing to analyze the thoughts of various authors on RDF and XML, the differences between them, and the things to think about when moving from XML to RDF.
Frustrating progress, but I'm turning on the out-of-office message tomorrow and leaving the email turned off. That has to help, right?
Let the Research Leave begin!
I'm going to try some diary-style posts to track my progress through research leave and see how it goes. I have 3 weeks total, split up around the holidays, to write this article I posted about back in August. Stuff has been percolating and I have been reading and thinking. I presented at DLF in October about it and now I just need to get it done.
But I also had to do some work work because that's how things go when you make plans. I'm hoping tomorrow is the last day I'll have to do that but it's made my work day go late (not unusual for me but I am really over that bad habit) and dinner is growing cold next to me right now. We'll try this again tomorrow and see if research work and work work can end at a normal time. So done for today!

Social media is tempting for startups and small businesses because it is very cost-effective and it's low point of entry. It has become a priority for startups wanting to succeed in the digital world. But, very few startups have nailed their presence on social media.

We believe that a business must focus on doing what they are expert at and leave the social marketing expertise to a social media agency like Sharptech. Sharptech has a tight-knit team of creative writers, graphic designers, media spend planners and social media mavens working in co-ordination with each other like a symphony of efficiency to make a brand stand out on social media and attract their target audience to turn them into loyal customers.

Social media helps to create a viral loop, thereby increasing your business exposure to a large audience.
Cost-Effective - Advertising via social media is very cost-effective in comparison to traditional advertising. You can reach a 1000 audience for a fraction of the amount with the help of social media than you can via television, print and billboard.
Levels the Playing Field - The old-school way of advertising such as print, radio and television require big bucks. For Ex: a 30 sec tvc during the 2015 superbowl costs a staggering $4.5M. SME's do not have this much money kept aside for their marketing spends. Enter social media. Whether a startup, medium size business or a large corporation, social media provides an equal platform for advertising.

Higher Conversion Rates - Every post on your social media brand page - whether an image, video or carousel; leads a visitor to your website and become a loyal customer. People interact with those brands on social media that have a human touch rather than a company which blabbers corporate jargon.

Better Customer Interaction – Brands get to interact with their customers and vice versa, on social media. Social media gives a human touch to your brand by being the voice for your company. The more the customer interacts with your brand, the more the chances of that customer being loyal to your company.

The Smithsonian Folklife Festival is an international exposition of living cultural heritage annually produced outdoors on the National Mall of the United States in Washington, D.C., by the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
The Festival takes place for two weeks every summer overlapping the Fourth of July holiday. It is an educational presentation that features community-based cultural exemplars. Free to the public, like other Smithsonian museums, each Festival typically draws hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Initiated in 1967, the Festival has become a national and international model of a research-based presentation of contemporary living cultural traditions. Over the years, it has brought more than twenty-three thousand musicians, artists, performers, craftspeople, workers, cooks, storytellers, and others to the National Mall to demonstrate the skills, knowledge, and aesthetics that embody the creative vitality of community-based traditions.
Usually divided into programs featuring a nation, region, state, or theme, the Festival has featured exemplary tradition bearers from more than ninety nations, every region of the United States, scores of ethnic communities, more than a hundred American Indian groups, and some seventy different occupations.
The Festival generally includes daily and evening programs of music, song, dance, celebratory performance, crafts and cooking demonstrations, storytelling, illustrations of workers' culture, and narrative sessions for discussing cultural issues.
The Festival is an exercise in cultural democracy, in which cultural practitioners speak for themselves, with each other, and to the public. The Festival encourages visitors to participate—to learn, sing, dance, eat traditional foods, and converse with people presented in the Festival program.
Like other Smithsonian museums, the Festival includes exhibition-quality signs, photo-text panels, a program book/catalog, learning centers, a marketplace, and food concessions. In recreating physical settings for the traditions represented, the Festival has built a horse racetrack (from the Washington Monument to the U.S. Capitol Building), an Indian village with forty-foot-high bamboo and paper statues, a Japanese rice paddy, and a New Mexican adobe plaza.
The Festival is a complex production, over the years drawing on the research and presentational skills of more than a thousand folklorists, cultural anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, and numerous other academic and lay scholars. Its production involves the expertise of hundreds of technical staff, the efforts of volunteers, and the backing of sponsors and supporters.
The Festival has strong impacts on policies, scholarship, and folks "back home." Many states and several nations have remounted Festival programs locally and used them to generate laws, institutions, educational programs, books, documentary films, recordings, and museum and traveling exhibitions. In many cases, the Festival has energized local and regional tradition bearers and their communities and, thus, helped to conserve and create cultural resources. Festival practice served as both the backdrop and inspiration for the consideration and ultimately the development of UNESCO's 2003 International Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The Festival was a centerpiece of the U.S. Bicentennial, lasting for three months in 1976; it has provided models for numerous Presidential Inaugural programs, the Black Family Reunion, the Los Angeles Festival, Southern Crossroads for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the Smithsonian's 150th Birthday Party on the Mall, the National World War II Reunion, and the First Americans Festival, which celebrated the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian.
As the largest annual cultural event in the U.S. capital, the Festival receives considerable publicity, typically reaching forty million readers and viewers through print and electronic media. In the past, the Festival was named the Top Event in the U.S. by the American Bus Association as a result of a survey of regional tourist bureaus—thus joining previous winners that include the Olympics and the World Expo. The Festival has also been the subject of numerous books, documentary films, scholarly articles, and debate.

Ok so here I go with this Week 6 Social Media Experiment Results. But as a side note, I have to say that I did do a lot this week that didnt fit into the experiment, but was still a part of it. And seriously, Im super happy with the office the team got now. We are doing some good things down there. But yeah be happy and rejoice for we are once again recapping what went down this week, with regards to the Social Media Experiment.
Ok so Youtube isnt really feeling my stuff just yet, but it is nice to see that Im not being completely ignored just yet. I hope that somewhere along the line this will pick up, or else Im in for a long 5 months.
Ok so, it seems that I am slowly gaining some notoriety with my tweets, as I am still getting retweeted and favorited, a bunch. And that still makes me smile. And since all of my tweets also go on Facebook, Im glad to see the amount of likes my stuff gets on there as well. Im pretty sure, some will see it as spam, but hey lets keep it trucking … I want to at LEAST get 200 followers by the end of next week.
This is the only place where things can ACTUALLY go down, and it could be seen as a solid place to see how effective everything was. Since the site is the main spot for VinoVenitas. But yeah all in all not a super bad, look but not something I should try to emulate.
This is a modest step ahead if I ever saw. But I have decided to redo the process behind this instagram thing. Before I was just posting pictures I took, and instead of writing a short piece to each picture, I just posted it. And since I am a writer, I have decided to go through my first book of poetry, and take a quote from EACH piece. I made a template for the quotes and that is what I will be posting from here on out. As a poet, I should post pictures of words … should I not?
Seriously, I am asking people to do it for me, but I can just tell from the amount of likes I be getting in, that NOTHING is being done. So this right here will be the most useless part of the experiment, unless I can actually motivate my so called friends to help me out. But yeah, this one will have to grow along with the website, cause they will have to be the trickle down parts of the others that rise up.

Steve Jobs has died. And while my fingers are too numb to type, I have an equally numbing urge to get some thoughts off my mind and onto the screen.
Why do I feel so stricken by the passing of someone outside my immediate family, circle of friends or even list of acquaintances? Is it because he made the best phone (itself a hyperbolic claim)? The greatest portable music player? The most interactive shopping experience both in brick and mortar (or should I say glass and steel?) and online? Is it because he co-founded a company that began life in his garage and evolved into a world-wide brand?
No. Those are all Apple Products. Jobs' true legacy is the Apple Process. Or, to put it in simpler, more effective, more Apple-esque terms: What will stay with me is not what Steve Jobs did, but how he did it.
Time and time again, Jobs proved that quality and quantity are not mutually exclusive, by focusing as much on design as on function, on craftsmanship as on popularity, on art as on mass appeal. He organized a core team that balanced celebrity with humility to such an extent that Apple itself came to be personified in Steve Jobs, Marketing in Phil Schiller, and Design in Jonathan Ive. These are people we've come to know, trust, follow, and expect things from. And, always true to form, Apple has continued to pour as much thought into the edge of a laptop casing as it has into the structure of a glass staircase in its retail store, as it has into the inner workings of its machines (even the guts of their laptops are beautiful).
Jobs understood that it is not what the market wants, but what you tell it that it wants. And you do so by, to use two more Apple-isms, "thinking different" to create "insanely great" products. When your Operating System achieves its maximum potential, you turn around and start from scratch (Mac OSX). When sales of your high-end laptops hit an all-time high, you go around and introduce not only a new product but an entirely new category of products (iPad). When the world itself seems to be transitioning into the Cloud, you go out and build a line of retail boutiques so exclusive, it paradoxically draws people in instead of intimidating them into staying out.
And you do that not only by learning from your own mistakes, but from those of others. Mistakes are repeatable, successes are not. In fact the word "repetition" itself is an antonym of success. Steve Jobs knew that, and I know that because of him.
And one more thing: Steve, you'll be dearly missed.
Google just wanted to end it, that's why Apple's woknirg with TomTom now in the maps. Google has their new YouTube app out for download in the App Store.


Merry Christmas Eve! I don't think it's actually hit me yet that Christmas is tomorrow. I feel like we get ready for it for so long, but then it always sneaks up on me!
I'm linking up for WIAW to share about Christmas Eve Eve, and specifically the food. There were a few more treats than normal yesterday, and I'm totally okay with that.
I've been sleeping in every day, so I just grabbed a quick handful of cereal before my cold, wet run. I skipped stretching and rolling after my runs pretty much every single day during exams over the past couple of weeks (<– terrible idea!), so I've been super tight on my runs recently. It took me the first couple miles to start feeling normal again, but after that, I felt great. I've gotten to the point where I don't really mind running in the rain once I get out the door! I just use my running "hack" of putting my phone in a plastic bag.
I've been craving a grilled cheese for the past few days, so that's what I had for lunch after my run, along with a grapefruit.
My usual afternoon snacks are fruit, roasted cauliflower, or Greek yogurt, but I had a peanut butter buckeye and a white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookie instead. 'Tis the season!
And then dinner was Mexican night! I had fajita chicken with guacamole, homemade refried beans, sautéed veggies, salad, and broccoli. One of my favorite ways to eat fajitas is to skip the tortilla and either make a fajita salad or have the grilled chicken with black or refried beans and sautéed veggies on the side. I do this at restaurants like Chili's, too! For me, healthy eating is all about compromise, like skipping the tortilla but going for the guacamole and cheese.
After dinner, I ate banana pudding, watched Santa Clause 2 with the fam, and wrapped presents. It was a fun (and delicious!) Christmas Eve Eve.
Do you ever go out in your pajamas? Do you like wearing your pajamas all day? I mean, it's not a regular thing for me, but clearly, I'm not opposed to it at night if ice cream's involved! I definitely don't like wearing my pajamas all day, though. I have to get dressed and get ready for the day, but it makes me smile when I see people wearing pajamas to class.
Have you had any delicious treats or watched any good Christmas movies recently?
Definitely do it 🙂 I'd forgotten how good they are!
I had some Christmas goodies a few days ago and I'll be having some more tonight and tomorrow, of course:) I loved Mexican bowls like that! I love the crunch of lettuce in them, so I don't always do the tortilla either. I went and looked at Christmas lights in my pjs last night haha but I was in a car. I don't know if I could do go out regularly in them, but for ice cream it sounds perfect! I just watched the second Santa Claus the other day, so two down one to go!:) Have a Merry Christmas!
Ooh love looking at Christmas lights! Merry Christmas, Hailey!!!!
i have never had a peanut butter buckeye before but I'm sold… I love anything with peanut butter.
