Tour Type: Classic Curated
As travelers, we're always looking for pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, that postcard-perfect image or vista, that priceless, memorable interaction with a local, or that magical musical experience that delights us anew with the gifts of mankind and the wonders of this amazing planet!
We've found many such opportunities in Ireland—it's a country rich in cultural experiences and "pots of gold" for adventurous travelers. Some of the many magic moments awaiting us on the Emerald Isle include:
Contemplating the diminutive state of man as we walk along the windswept sandstone Cliffs of Moher, 600 feet above the crashing waves of the Atlantic (Pre-tour);
Rambling among an ancient seaside patchwork of stone walls at prehistoric Dun Aengus fortress, on the rugged Aran Island of Inishmore (Pre-tour);
Wondering at the simple architectural genius of the 8th century Gallarus Oratory during our walk through the emerald-green landscapes of Dingle Peninsula, western- most point of Europe;
Following the winding gorge path through the Gap of Dunloe as it courses along quiet mountain lakes and crosses babbling brooks on ageless, arched stone bridges;
Gazing down from our walking trail in the enchanting Wicklow Mountains onto the centuries-old Round Tower in the monastery at Glendalough, the verdant "valley between the lakes";
Imbibing the spirit of Dublin, Ireland's capital and a quintessential walking city, on an all-day walk that captures points of historical import and cultural connections!

DAY 1-August 5: Arrive Limerick (D)
Travelers arrive throughout the day into Shannon International Airport on the west side of Ireland, about a 30 minute taxi ride to our hotel in Limerick. The day is free in Limerick until a Welcome Dinner this evening to rendezvous with the group coming back from the Pre-tour in the Aran Islands.
DAY 2-August 6: Limerick – Dingle (BD)
Our coach takes us towards the southwest corner of Ireland this morning, through County Kerry, bound for the lovely Dingle peninsula. The Dingle area is a Gaeltacht, meaning one of the few remaining enclaves where the Irish language, Gaelige, is still the mother tongue and the language of the street. Upon arrival, we embark from the town of Dingle on the spectacular Slea Head Drive, with several stops to enjoy points of interest and dramatic coastal panoramas.
We spend two nights in Dingle enjoying one of the most traditionally Irish corners of the Emerald Isle!
DAY 3-August 7: Activities from Dingle (B)
Dingle Pilgrim Way – 5/9 km, rated 2B/3C
This morning's Dingle Peninsula trail combines fuchsia-lined country lanes, pastoral rural landscapes, and early Christian stone monuments like Gallarus Oratory (6th to 9th century) and Kilmalkedar Church (12th century).
The evening is free to experience the charms of small-town Ireland. Enjoy taking in the waterfront atmosphere on the Dingle Harbor with its photogenic fishing fleet and relax with a pub dinner–the many pubs of Dingle offer one of our best opportunities to enjoy a traditional Irish jam session!
DAY 4-August 8: Dingle – Killarney (BD)
Gap of Dunloe Walk – 12 km, rated 2A
Glacier-carved Gap of Dunloe, in Killarney National Park, provides the setting for today's memorable nature walk, a perennial WAI favorite. The plethora of panoramas in this dramatic gorge is accentuated by its babbling brook, crossed at intervals by picturesque stone bridges as it courses between remote mountain lakes. Following a boat ride across the lovely vistas of Upper Lake, a short drive delivers us to our hotel in the town of Killarney.
DAY 5-August 9: Killarney - Enniscorthy (BD)
A scenic drive across counties Tipperary and Cork takes us to today's highlight, a visit to magnificent, medieval Rock of Cashel. This craggy stronghold rises dramatically from the Tipperary Plains and boasts a heritage of both royal and religious power dating back to the 5th century.
From Cashel, we continue to Enniscorthy, an attractive small town draped along the meandering River Slaney. Enniscorthy Castle dates back to the 13th century. The Norman castle played a prominent role in many battles of the Cromwell period, and later during the 1798 Uprising, during which 20,000 Irish rebels perished in the Battle of Vinegar Hill, just above Enniscorthy. The rebels were pitifully armed, only with farmers' pike; it as the last major attempt to hold and defend ground against the British troops of King George III.
Our hotel this evening is directly adjacent to the River Slaney.
DAY 6-August 10: Enniscorthy - Dublin (B)
Glendalough Between the Lakes Walk – 5/9 km, rated 1A/2B
Our Adventure on the Emerald Isle continues this morning at the 6th century monastic city of Glendalough in the enchanting green Wicklow Mountains. The film in the visitor center and our nature walk in this "valley between the lakes" offer an intriguing glimpse into ancient Irish Catholicism, in a breathtaking setting. Later this afternoon, we arrive in Dublin, capital of Ireland, founded, surprisingly, by Vikings in the 9th century.
Dinner is on your own this evening, but be sure to finish in time for an unforgettable taste of Ireland's fast-paced music and dance. Riverdance is an internationally acclaimed team of singers, dancers, and musicians that epitomizes the Celtic energy of this uniquely Irish form of entertainment (The Riverdance show is contingent upon scheduling and availability of tickets).
DAY 7-August 11: Activities from Dublin (BD)
Story of Dublin Walk – 11 km, rated 1A
A walk from our hotel passes Trinity College (housing the Book of Kells), Grafton Street, the National Museum, Christchurch Cathedral, and Dublin Castle (admissions not included). This is a walk that could easily take a full day; it's the perfect way to experience this charming and very walkable Irish capital.
Join us this evening to share a light-hearted Farewell Dinner and reminisce about our experiences together in this blessed Emerald Isle of Ireland.
DAY 8-August 12: Depart from Dublin (BD)
You are free to depart at your leisure this morning. WAI guides will help batch travelers who share a similar departure schedule and would like to share a taxi to Dublin International Airport. It's time to return to our North American reality. We won't soon forget our Walking Adventure through the history, culture, and scenery of enchanting Ireland!
Aran Islands, Galway,
& the Cliffs of Moher Pre-tour
Pre-tour Day 1-August 3: Arrive Limerick, Ireland (D)
Travelers arrive throughout the day into Shannon International Airport on the west side of Ireland, about a 30 minute taxi ride to our hotel in Limerick. The only group activity is our Welcome Orientation and dinner this evening in anticipation of an unforgettable Emerald Isle of Ireland pre-tour to explore the Aran Islands, Galway, & the stunning Cliffs of Moher!
Pre-tour Day 2-August 4: Limerick - Kilronan, Inishmore (BD)
Inisheer O'Brien's Castle Walk – 3 km rated 2B
Our coach takes us into County Clare this morning to marvel at vistas along the stupendous Cliffs of Moher, 600-foot tall sandstone cliffs rising boldly out of the North Atlantic Ocean. From Doolin, we board a ferry to cross Galway Bay for a stay on the remote and rugged Aran Island of Inishmore. En route, we stop at Inisheer, smallest of the three Aran Islands. Here, we walk through a primarily Gaelic-speaking fishing village to hike to an evocative ruin of O'Brien's Castle, a 14th century fortress, on the hill above the village.
Back aboard our ferry, our final stop is the island of Inishmore, largest of the Aran Islands. Join us this evening for a scrumptious dinner in our hotel in Kilronan, the main settlement on an island of less than 900 souls.
Pre-tour Day 3-August 5: Kilronan – Limerick (BD)
Inishmore Dun Aengus Fortress Walk – 5 km rated 2B
Galway Walking Tour – 2 km, unrated
We rise early this morning for a memorable experience hiking an ancient trail that winds between a patchwork of picturesque stone walls to Dun Aengus. This prehistoric fortress (over 3000 years old) perched atop 300-foot tall sea cliffs presides over one of Ireland's most remote and starkly ageless corners. This island of bare limestone forced early settlers to manufacture soil by hand, mixing sand and seaweed on the barren plateau.
After time for one more only-in-Ireland activity this morning, the ferry returns us to the mainland where we rejoin our coach on the northern side of the bay and drive to the storied city of Galway, named European Capital of Culture for 2020.
After time for lunch, an afternoon walking tour with our national guide introduces us to this charming town of pedestrianized lanes and shares stories of the "tribes", Anglo-Norman merchant families who ruled the city beginning in the 15th century.
Later, we motor south to our hotel in Limerick to rendezvous for dinner with travelers arriving for the Main tour only.

How Do I Lock in My Place on This Adventure?
To register, a non-refundable $500 deposit is required to hold your spot. This deposit amount is higher than usual due to non-refundable payments required for Riverdance tickets and by our local partners.
A final payment is due June 1, 2022, and is non-refundable once paid. You will receive a reminder email from us a week or two in advance.

Please follow this link to read our full General Tour Conditions.
What's a Classic Curated Tour?
With help from local experts and walking guides, these itineraries are crafted with extensive on-site planning by WAI tour planners.
When planning Classic Curated Tours, our objective is to capture the essence of a destination—the history, culture, and natural wonders unique to that part of the world. We then build activities and walks that take us inside these characteristics.
Yes, these tours are educational, but they are also interactive and immersive; walking gets us off the bus and penetrates local cultures to not only see, but also touch, smell, and feel these special spaces.
Along the way, interactions with locals amplify the experience by sharing insights into the magic of that particular location.
Walk Ratings
We generally walk at a pace of 2 to 3 miles per hour. Walks that are oriented more towards education may take longer due to stops for guide commentary. Nature walks, on the other hand, generally continue at a steadier pace because we're stopping less to talk.In most cases, we are not "strolling." We are walking at a relaxed but steady pace. Your experience will be significantly affected by your level of physical fitness. If not walking regularly at home, we strongly recommend that you make a priority of "training" beforehand to both enjoy the trip and avoid medical issues due to overexertion.
If you have questions about your ability to participate, please contact our office at [email protected].
We have adopted a walk difficulty rating system which contains a numeric indicator for trail incline and an alpha indicator for trail terrain. The explanation for this system is presented on the table below:
1. Minimal hills or stair climbing. Cumulative elevation gain: <200 feet.
2. Some moderate hills and stair climbing. Cumulative elevation gain: 200-1000 feet.
3. Some significant hill or stair climbing. Cumulative elevation gain: 1000-2000 feet.
A. Almost entirely on pavement.
B. A significant part of the route is on well-groomed trails with very few obstacles.
C. A significant part of the route is on somewhat difficult terrain (rocky / rooted paths or soft sand).
How is Airfare Arranged?
Both the Emerald Isle of Ireland and the Aran Islands, Galway, & the Cliffs of Moher Pre-tour start in Limerick and finish in Dublin. The official starting point is our hotel in Limerick, best served by Shannon Airport, (airport code SNN). The official finishing point of the tour is our hotel in Dublin, best served by Dublin Airport (airport code DUB).
Transfers are not included in the tour price but taxi service is easily arranged upon arrival at the Shannon airport. WAI guides will help batch travelers who share a similar departure schedule and would like to share a taxi to Dublin Airport.
We recommend that you contact Laura Pfahler, the travel agent we work with, to help book your flight arrangements. In this age of airfare complications and airport uncertainty, using a travel agent is a good investment! More details about flight arrangements and travel agent contact information will be provided in an Adventure Advice PDF by email after you register for the Adventure. Please do not book your airfare prior to receiving these flight details from us!
Laura Pfahler: 503.434.6401 or [email protected]
WAI believes strongly in the importance of travel insurance for financial and medical protection from any number of unforeseen circumstances that can arise before departure or during your Adventure. This is now especially true in the era of COVID-19, which is typically treated like any other illness for travel insurance purposes. Many travel insurance providers are available for you to consider. Laura Pfahler and Sharon Mitchell of World Travel Inc. are travel agents who provide air travel and insurance services to many WAI travelers.
Sharon Mitchell: 971.261.2091 or [email protected]
Check out Insurance Tips from World Travel for a short introduction to travel insurance. (NOTE: WAI receives no commission or financial remuneration from World Travel Inc.).
As always, do some shopping to ensure you are getting the best value. Using the SquareMouth.com website can be a good way to compare pricing.
Betins
NOTE: We suggest purchasing from a reputable, well-established insurance company (avoid buying insurance from an unknown company found only online). Travelers interested in purchasing "cancel for any reason" insurance coverage should be careful to check pricing and terms BEFORE they register for a tour. Recent changes in the international travel landscape has caused changes in the policies of some insurance companies, and made the purchase of this particular type of policy even more time-sensitive.
What if WAI Cancels the Tour?
Walking Adventures International reserves the right to cancel this tour departure with fewer than 12 participants, in which case registered participants will receive a 100% refund of payments received. This refund policy contains one exclusion related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many suppliers require non-refundable deposits as a condition of booking services. Unforeseen circumstances linked to the virus can force us to cancel a tour. Due to these supplier's non-refundable policies, WAI attempts to retrieve as much of these deposits as possible, but cannot guarantee a 100% refund. In cases where full refunds cannot be obtained for a cancelled tour, we will do our best to transfer unrefunded money as traveler credits to be applied to a future tour to that destination.
View our full Coronavirus FAQ for more details.
COVID-19 Policies for This Tour
Walking Adventures International official policy is to endeavor to mirror any COVID-19 policies in place in the destinations through which we travel.
As of March 5, 2022, Ireland dropped any COVID-19 related entry requirements. Proof of vaccination is not currently required to enter Ireland and no testing or quarantine is required upon entry. At present (Apr 9, 2022), the USA still requires a negative Covid-19 test taken the day before departing Ireland for the USA.
Requirements and restrictions have been fluid. WAI will update travelers upon learning of any changes.
Travelers participating in the Emerald Isle of Ireland tour must agree to abide by policies in place at the time of travel.
Upon registering for this Adventure, you will receive a welcome email and initial invoice notifying you of your tour balance and due date. All payments for the tour or optional services/excursions can now be made online.
About 10 weeks before departure, you will receive a final statement reminder about the final tour payment, which is due June 1, 2022. Please see our General Tour Conditions for the full terms and conditions for participation in this Adventure.
Around 2-3 weeks before departure, you will receive a final email packet with details of the program, including hotel names and contact information, a list of fellow travelers, and a more detailed daily schedule.
Take a few minutes to peruse the Emerald Isle of Ireland itinerary. We maintain that walking is still and always the best way to experience our world!

Françoise Armengaud, née le  à Paris, est une universitaire, philosophe, traductrice, essayiste et écrivaine française.

Biographie
Après des études d'anglais et de philosophie à la Sorbonne ainsi qu'à l'École normale supérieure de jeunes filles et l'agrégation de philosophie en 1965, Françoise Armengaud est nommée professeur au Lycée Anne de Bretagne à Rennes, puis elle enseigne la logique et l'épistémologie à l'université de Rennes de 1967 à 1990. Titulaire d'un doctorat en philosophie en 1982, elle donne des cours de philosophie du langage et d'esthétique à l'université de Paris X-Nanterre comme maître de conférences de 1990 à 2002. De 2006 à 2009, formatrice intermittente chez ARPPE (Association recherche pour les professionnels de la petite enfance), elle anime des ateliers d'écriture et de réflexion sur les contes.

Thématiques

Le langage et l'art
Au point de départ de ses recherches sur le langage et l'art, un travail sur la philosophie analytique anglo-saxonne et une réflexion sur l'aspect pragmatique du langage, par où elle choisit d'aborder l'art. Dans cette perspective, le fonctionnement d'une œuvre ne vaut qu'en contexte, les actants producteurs et récepteurs) en construisant la portée ensemble, en même temps que les productions artistiques "ne vivent que des façons dont elles font vivre des relations qu'on entretient grâce à et avec elles". Quant à la question des titres des œuvres d'art,il s'agit de l'étayer aussi bien du côté de la nomination (le titre fonctionne comme nom propre), que du côté de l'interprétation de l'image par le texte et réciproquement. Ce que disent les artistes de leur activité créatrice et de leurs œuvres interroge la cohérence de leur engagement et de l'expression de leur subjectivité historiquement datée. À l'orée de son livre sur ce sujet, Françoise Armengaud confie avoir été longtemps "une rêveuse de titres". Recensant les interrogations soulevées par cette notion, elle conclut : "Seuls les artistes seraient capables de lever mes perplexités, et c'est cette conviction qui a amené ma recherche auprès d'eux". D'où de nombreux entretiens avec des artistes. Elle s'est attachée à étudier en particulier l'œuvre d'André Verdet – à qui elle a consacré plusieurs ouvrages – celles des sculpteurs Anita Tullio et Sacha Sosno (le créateur des oblitérations) ainsi que du peintre Henri Baviera. À propos de la technique d'exécution au pochoir de certains éléments archétypaux dans les toiles de Baviera, elle note que "si cette technique livre simultanément la trace et l'exil de l'objet, la figure ainsi dépeinte vaut proverbe ou citation, discours d'autrui pris dans la texture de l'œuvre".

Féminisme
S'agissant du féminisme, le point de vue du langage lui fournit toujours la première orientation. Au cours d'un entretien portant sur Le Deuxième Sexe de Simone de Beauvoir, Catherine Rodgers remarque l'intérêt de Françoise Armengaud pour "le travail innovateur de Michèle Causse sur la langue". En effet, elle met en exergue la manière dont Michèle Causse "décrit l'emprise universelle de l'androlecte comme "institutionnalisation d'une subjectivité sexuée au masculin", instrument du sexage tel qu'en androcratie les femmes se trouvent interloquées, interrompues, interdites, privées d'allocutaire comme de langage propre, ce qui leur est laissé étant le mutisme ou le mimétisme". Les livres de Nathalie Sarraute et de Monique Wittig sont interrogés en tant que porteuses de contestation des conventions du discours et de l'édifice politique qu'elles soutiennent. Françoise Armengaud a traduit des articles d'Andrea Dworkin, Jan Windelbank, Julia Clancy Smith, Letti Volp, Karen Walker, Joan W.Scott, pour les Nouvelles Questions Féministes. Elle est membre du Collectif national pour les droits des femmes.

Animaux
Françoise Armengaud a commencé par des travaux sur les représentations des animaux dans la littérature et dans l'art. En 2012, Florence Burgat note que le livre Réflexions sur la condition faite aux animaux est « le fruit d'un travail ininterrompu, inauguré par l'article désormais classique, Animalité et humanité paru en 1984 dans l'Encyclopædia Universalis ». Elle précise que Françoise Armengaud, philosophe du langage, « y posait les jalons d'une recherche principalement axée sur l'analyse des façons de penser et de parler, de ne pas penser ou de ne pas parler des animaux, de la construction en miroir des concepts d'animalité et d'humanité. […] Le décryptage des voies par lesquelles s'opère la dévalorisation ontologique de l'animal (selon un singulier qui nivelle toutes les différences) ou de l'animalité (cette essence qui vaudrait pour une généralité qui là encore n'existe pas) afin d'exclure les animaux, bien réels cette fois, de la sphère de la considération morale et de celle des doris constitue le cœur de [sa] recherche ». On trouve dans ses Réflexions sur la condition faite aux animaux une critique radicale du concept de sacrifice tel que généralement posé (comme fondateur) dans les sciences humaines et une qualification de la question du sort des animaux comme politique de part en part.

Charity Day in Iran Date in the current year: March 5, 2023
Charity Day is an official observance in the Islamic Republic of Iran held on 14 Esfand in the Iranian calendar (March 5 in the Gregorian calendar). It was created to commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation.
The history of charitable organizations in modern Iran goes back to 1964, when future participants of the Iranian Revolution began to support of the families of political prisoners. Following the victory of the revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini founded a charitable organization to help poor families regain financial stability. The Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (IKRF) was officially established on March 5, 1979.
IKRF provides multiples forms of support to families and individuals, including social security coverage for nomads without insurance and senior villagers, free insurance for people living below the poverty line, and financial assistance for students who cannot afford to pay for their education. As of December 2008, a total of 8.6 million people received some sort of aid from IKRF.
IKRF also provides support outside Iran, mainly in countries and territories with predominantly Muslim population, such as Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chechnya, the Comoros, Iraq, Kosovo, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, and Tajikistan.

Instagram best practices
This guide outlines best practices when it comes to managing Instagram accounts in Buffer Publish. Our top tips include using a unique, authentic, and active Facebook Page for each Instagram business account, avoiding allowing multiple people logging into the Facebook or Instagram accounts that authorized the connection to Publish, and avoiding logging in and out of multiple Instagram accounts on a frequent basis.
This article contains the following sections:
Each Instagram business account must be connected to a Facebook Page
We do not recommend managing more than five Instagram accounts
It's ideal for only one person to have native access to your social channels
It's important that each of your social channels is authentic and active
Confirming your social channel's email address helps prove its authenticity
In order to use direct scheduling, each Instagram business account must be connected to a Facebook Page. If you skip the step of linking to a Facebook Page when converting your Instagram personal profile to a business account, an unmanaged Facebook Page will be automatically created. You can request to claim the Page and become its admin. If you do not claim the Page, your Instagram business account will not be connected to a Facebook Page and you will not be able to use direct scheduling.
We have seen a few cases where customers have created fictitious, inauthentic, or low-usage Facebook Pages, to be used for the sole purpose of linking to an Instagram account, in order to use direct scheduling. Whilst we appreciate that not all customers have a relevant Facebook Page to use, we strongly advise against fictitious Facebook Pages, as this is against Facebook's guidelines, and is likely to result in access tokens being revoked, and the need to continually reauthorize the connection, and/or account suspension. Whilst these measures are usually temporary and can be resolved by reauthorizing your Instagram account, this is likely to need to be done on a frequent basis, i.e. daily in some cases.
If you do not have a relevant Facebook Page to link to your Instagram business account, we recommend creating one and completing some minimum pieces of information, such as:
About/description
It's also important that your Facebook Page sees some activity, such as publishing posts and gaining followers, to avoid Facebook seeing it as a completely inactive Page.
Additionally, each Instagram business account does need to be connected to a unique, individual Facebook Page. The access token will be revoked if a Facebook Page is connected to multiple Instagram accounts.
We have seen a few cases where agencies are managing hundreds of Instagram accounts for various clients. If single image or video posts are being shared to Instagram business accounts, this doesn't tend to be an issue since those posts will be published automatically. However, since Instagram's API for automatic posting does not yet support multiple images, those posts will be sent as reminders to your mobile device.
Instagram currently allows you to connect five accounts per device, meaning you can easily switch between them without logging in and out each time. However, if you're managing more than five accounts, you'll need to be logging in and out of accounts on a frequent basis, in order to publish the post to the right one when the reminder comes through.
It's likely that the clients themselves are also accessing their own Instagram accounts, which means that those accounts are being continually logged in and out of, and often from different locations (and therefore different IP addresses). We have seen a few cases where Instagram have raised security flags on these accounts, since this can be interpreted as suspicious activity.
Unfortunately, there is very little we can do in these cases, and the only way to continue using Buffer Publish is to reauthorize those Instagram accounts on a frequent basis, i.e. daily in some cases. We appreciate that this is time consuming and frustrating, and for this reason, we do not recommend managing more than five Instagram accounts if you're likely to use the reminders feature on a regular basis, as it's very likely to lead to these types of issues.
For Facebook and Instagram, it's best to have only one person access the native social channel. This is the intended use for these platforms, and we've seen that when Facebook notices that the account is being accessed from many IP addresses, it sometimes results in a lack of functionality, such as suspensions, errors, and frequent disconnections.
Along with having an authentic and active Facebook Page connected to each Instagram business account, ensure that each of your Instagram business accounts is also active with real followers, and used for an authentic purpose. If Instagram or Facebook sense unauthentic behavior, they can disconnect your API access without explanation.
Each Instagram account you have should have an email address connected to it, and it should be confirmed. The best way to do this is to check each of your Instagram accounts' settings to make sure there isn't a "Confirm Email" link listed below the email address.

Professor Kristian Skrede Gleditsch is leading on this project which will examine conflict in terms of incompatibilities between actors, where the specific structure of the incompatibilities and the strategies and interactions determine whether we see escalation to violence as well as alternative outcomes such as accommodation or regime change. It will extend his prior research on civil war and focus more clearly on actor motivations, alternative outcomes to conventional civil war, and take seriously non-violent strategies in conflict and protest.
Whereas previous research has tended to study violent and non-violent conflict as separate phenomena, this project will focus on violent and non-violent actions as possible substitutes and compliment and explain variation across a range of alternative outcomes, as illustrated in the so-called Arab spring, where we see both non-violent protest and violent insurgencies, as well as state responses ranging from violent repression to accommodation.
Security Reform and Human Security
Professor Han Dorussen is principal investigator on a grant of the British Academy / Leverhulme Trust on security sector reform and human security in Timor Leste. Additional funding was provided by the Kikawada Foundation.
The one-year project examines how security sector reform implemented by the United Nations as part of its peacekeeping mission has addressed local conflict dynamics. What, if any, has been the impact of UN peacekeeping at the local level? As part of the project, Han Dorussen conducted field experiments in Timor Leste in October 2013 to survey the perceptions of Timorese citizens of their safety and security after the departure of UN peacekeepers who had left in December 2012.
Public Responses to Identity Management, Practices and Technologies
Professor Aletta Norval is lead investigator on an interdisciplinary project investigating the controversy around identity cards, the use of biometrics for identification, issues of personal privacy and data protection, and what the future holds for identity management.
The £1.36m IMPRINTS project, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), focuses on why people accept some new technologies but not others. The project has been hailed as a 'big idea of the future' by RCUK.
EU-China Security Cooperation
Professor Emil Kirchner and Professor Han Dorussen led an interdisciplinary Jean Monnet research group, EU-China Security Cooperation: performance and prospects, seeking to examine a range of key issues in the field of security policy with a view to influencing academic debate, informing policy making both in the EU and in China, and increasing public awareness.

Guatemala on Wednesday started to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, transferring furniture and other equipment into a yet-unfinished office in the capital's Malha Technology Park. Earlier this week, the Guatemalan flag was raised outside the building.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday hailed Guatemala's decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, saying other countries will soon follow suit.
Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales announced on Sunday that he will move his country's embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, following President Donald Trump's lead.
Guatemala hurtled into political turmoil this week after the nation's top court blocked President Jimmy Morales' attempts to expel a U.N. anti-corruption official Sunday – days after the official said he was moving against the premier.
The people of Guatemala have just elected a complete outsider as their nation's next president, selecting in a landslide election television comedian Jimmy Morales to represent them.
HYATTSVILLE, Maryland—Television comedian, outsider, and reformer Jimmy Morales is poised to win the presidency of Guatemala. "There will always be migration if there is no security and no jobs" in Guatemala, Morales told Breitbart News. "This is why in Guatemala we have to work to generate better working conditions and to strengthen the justice system, which will automatically help make security more efficient," he said during an interview, just north of Washington D.C.
"I have made you laugh for 20 years, and as president I promise I won't make you cry," says Jimmy Morales, the man winning first place in Guatemala's first round of presidential elections.


Are Confessions and Creeds Necessary?
The various creeds of Christendom have aided the Christian church in the formulation of their faith through the centuries. They are not the Bible. They are systematic commentaries on Biblical Doctrines contained in the Bible. They are not authoritative unless they truly represent the teachings of sacred Scripture. Any teaching which is orthodox concerning the Sacred Scriptures should be heeded by all people for all time.
Click here for the best confession ever penned, The 1647 Westminster Standards.
What is the definition of a creed?
The Latin word credo means "to believe/trust, commit or trust in". They are formularies from a systematic overview of whatever is believed.
It is often remarked that creeds should not be held to or heeded because they are not authoritative, and not inspired by God. However, the history of the church and the creedal formularies they have made were never thought to be inspired in the first place, but rather to define and express cogently what the Bible taught which is, in fact, inspired. If the Bible teaches that all men must wear white shirts, then the creedal statement of faith which explains this succinctly is attempting to teach Christians what the Bible says concerning this, and that any false teaching (such as all men must wear black shirts) is erroneous. The inspired Scriptures are commentated on by every able and true minister of the Word each Lord's Day, but that does not make their sermons inspired. Christians read books defining certain theological concepts but that does not make the book inspired, just helpful to the edification of the Christian.
In other words, it is impossible to explain your faith without saying something about what you believe. The moment someone says, "I love Jesus", and then someone asks, "Jesus who?" you have to explain what you mean. That explanation is a creed or confession. It says something about what you believe the Bible to say. When someone says, "I hold to such and such a creed or confession," all that means is the confession or creed they hold to explains what they believe in a better way than they could explain it. But it is impossible to be a Christian and not have a creed or confession of some kind. Everyone has a creed whether they like it or not.
Most of the creeds were born out of a time of turmoil fighting against heresies prevalent in the day. They helped define what was orthodox and true, and condemned what was heretical and false. Even many of the early church hymns were written to teach Christians true doctrine; and I know of very few people who would throw away the hymns of worship, as they would a creed of the church. The Christian church has been, through church history, a creedal church. We continue to define what the Bible says in order to combat heresy and teach one another the truth set forth by God in the Bible.
There is even a precedence in the Bible where men have made formulary statements about their faith. Deuteronomy 6:4 is a classic "creedal" formulary, "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." What of Matthew 16:16 and Peter's "confession?" "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." And what of John 20:28 and Thomas "confession?" "Thomas answered, "My Lord and my God!" 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 says, "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles." And what of 1 Timothy 3:16, "Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory." These Biblically inspired statements are "creedal" in nature. Our historic creeds are not inspired, but are exceedingly helpful nonetheless.
The links below and to the right contain the creeds which are most valuable to our faith.
I have also added here the section on the Remonstrants (The Arminian) Articles, which are heretical. Their use is to compare them to how the Synod of Dordt structured their Canons against the teachings of the Arminians. The reason I make note of this, is most contemporary churches today are some odd and convoluted mix of Arminian theology, Fundamental Baptist theology and/or Pentecostal / Charismatic / Holiness theology.


SFM animated Tattletail music video to my original Tattletail song called "Come to Mama." I wrote this song inspired by Mama, the main Tattletail villain that stalks you around your house after you unwrap Tattletail Christmas present early. As always I wrote the song but I asked Nina to sing this one to lend a female voice to Mama. I really do hope you enjoy my second Tattletail song. All Likes and comment are much appreciated. If you REALLY like the song you can download it by following any of the links above. Thank you so much for watching my videos!

SSDI: Can I Work While Receiving Disability Benefits?
To determine if you are eligible to work while receiving Social Security disability benefits, contact a highly experienced attorney at Krasno Krasno & Onwudinjo who will review your case and provide you with the best answers possible.
If you are deemed eligible to work, there will be what is called a trial work period where your ability to work will be tested and reviewed for nine months. Throughout the trial work period, you will continue to receive Social Security disability benefits regardless of the amount of money you earn while working. If you make over $810 per month for at least nine months out of a 60-month rolling period, then your disability has been deemed terminated. Upon working for nine months having made at least $810 a month, the Social Security Administration will then evaluate the work to see if it is over a certain limit. If it is above the administered 'Substantial Gainful Activity' limitation, disability benefits will continue only for an additional three months before being terminated.
However, after your disability benefits end, you still have an additional time frame of 36 months in which you may begin receiving benefits again. For example, if your monthly income is reduced below the $810 threshold or if your disability worsens and you find yourself unable to work, your benefits may be reinstated. There are other methods to keeping your benefits, such as deducting work expenses from your monthly earnings. For more information, visit the Krasno Krasno & Odwudinjo website to learn more about the process.
Reporting requirements exist that require you to report updates directly to the Social Security Administration, including the beginning or ending of employment, a change in job duties, hours, or pay, and paying work-related expenses because of your disability. If during the trial work period, you lost your employment status, Social Security Disability benefits are not affected. However, if the job loss occurs during the 36-month period post-work trial, you must contact the Social Security Administration to request that disability benefits be reinstated (assuming you are still disabled).
If you are blind, special rules apply including a monthly salary limitation of $1,820, and if you earn over $1,820 per month, the Social Security Administration will account for any time you spent making little or no income due to blindness in factoring in your benefits while working.
Also, there are some benefits awarded to disabled individuals less than 22 years of age. If you are in school or a training program, up to $1,780 in monthly earnings will not be counted toward your monthly income total when calculating such benefits.
Lastly, there is the Ticket to Work program, which is a free program that assists beneficiaries of Social Security disability benefits in returning to work. While in the program, an individual can keep his or her Medicare or Medicaid insurance as long as the individual is making progress to find employment or is already employed. Most people age 18 to 64 who receive Social Security disability benefits may qualify for the Ticket to Work program. If accepted into the program, an individual can either work with an Employment Network or his or her state's Vocational Rehabilitation agency, depending on the individual's needs. It is common to receive educational or training services from the Vocational Rehabilitation Agency before working for a company covered in the Employment Network.
An attorney can help assess your eligibility for working while receiving Social Security disability benefits, contact us today at 877-794-2396.

There was a certain irony in seeing the headline that 'more than a third of teenage girls suffer depression and anxiety' on the same front page as updated data on the gender pay gap (in short - there still is one; https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/aug/23/gender-pay-gap-average-18-per-cent-less-uk-women).
I read the pay gap coverage with an eye roll. Here we are again. At first I couldn't even be bothered to comment on it. Creating systemic change in this arena is complex, painfully slow and full of people missing the point entirely.
Rather than add to the complexity, I'm going to focus on one thing I think the advertising industry could change to make a difference in this area - flexible working. The biggest challenge, in my view, is that the advertising industry finds it hard to create an upwards career trajectory for those choosing not to work 38+ hours a week. And, typically it is mothers who are requesting to work in a different way - albeit we are seeing increasing numbers of men adopt this work pattern.
1. Flexible working needs to stop being seen as a women's issue. I argued in The Guardian last Autumn that as soon as flexible working is seen as a people issue and a way of recruiting and retaining the best talent, it will start to get taken more seriously.
2. We need to take risks. Of course we don't know if two people doing a job share is going to work - but we're never going to know unless we give it a shot. Too often, people take the tried and tested route and miss the chance to discover something amazing.
3. We need to make it easier for recruiting managers to take a creative approach. Added to this, sign off systems can make it harder to get approval for a more creative solution. I understand why a manager would choose a full timer over a 4 day a week account exec if those were the only options available to them because of head count restrictions! But what if they were able to choose between a full timer OR a three day account exec and a three day assistant? Companies need to make it possible for the recruiting manager to make these solutions possible.
4. We need to stop hiding behind our clients. Our clients work more flexibly than us (largely) and I don't buy into most of the arguments that clients won't allow it. I think that's hiding behind a convenient excuse.
5. We need to stand up to our clients. If there are clients out there insisting on full time Account Directors, (and I know there are a handful), we need to stand up to them and explain that flexibility may be required if they want the best person for the job. Use it as a chance to get out of that subservient client / agency relationship whilst you're at it.
6. We need to stop using people working flexibly as a way of saving money. Yes, I know you do it. The Account Director that only wants to work 4 days a week gives you a 20% overhead saving. Just no. That's setting that AD up for failure and her team up for overload. Invest in getting the right back up resource and you might just see everyone thrive.
With the technology and cross border reality of 21st century work, it is astonishing to me that we are so wedded to 20th century work practices. It's time that an industry that prides itself on being current, caught up with the times.
