The Storyline... The Sacred Heart Pioneers head to Cancun, Mexico for the second part of the 2011 Cancun Challenge as part of the Mayan Division. SHU will take on the Hampton Pirates on Tuesday afternoon and face either Lipscomb or Southern Illinois Edwardsville on Wednesday.

Only Jim Boheim of Syracuse has spent more time coaching at one institution. He led the Pioneers to eight NCAA Division II tournaments and his 1985-86 team won the national championship while finishing 30-4. Bike was named the national Coach of the Year by the NABC following the title game.
Up Next... The Pioneers will travel back to Fairfield, Connecticut on Friday, November 25th and prepare to play host to Brown University on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm.
Cancun Challenge Notes...
- This is the fourth year of the Cancun Challenge
- The tournament is set for its third season at the Moon Palace Resort where a ballroom is converted into a 1,200 seat basketball arena
- The 2011 Cancun Challenge features eight teams split into two divisions. The Riviera Division consists of Illinois, Illinois State, Richmond and Rutgers and the Mayan Division is made up of Sacred Heart, Hampton, Lipscomb and Southern Illinois Edwardsville.
- The Pioneers have never faced any of the teams they are matched up with in the tournament. SHU faces Rutgers and Richmond in the states and will take on Hampton and either Lipscomb or Southern Illinois Edwardsville in the final game.
- Three teams in this year's tournament made it to the NCAA Tournament last season. Richmond advanced to the Sweet 16, Illinois to the 3rd Round and Hampton was knocked out by Duke in the 2nd Round.
- The Pioneers are the first team from the Northeast Conference participating in the Cancun Challenge. This year's tournament features teams from the Big East, Big Ten, Atlantic-10, Atlantic Sun, Missouri Valley, Mid-Eastern and Ohio Valley conferences as well.
- Vanderbilt won the inaugural Cancun Challenge in 2008. In 2009, Kentucky was the Riviera Champion and Sam Houston State the Mayan winner. Last season, Missouri won the Riviera and North Florida the Mayan.
- This will be the second regular season tournament the Pioneers participate in outside the United States. SHU took part in the 2003 San Juan Shootout in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Pioneers went 1-2 in that tournament, losing to Duquesne and Northeastern while beating Puerto Rico-Mayaguez.
- Coach Dave Bike on participating in the Cancun Challenge "We are very excited to be playing in a first class event. It is a great opportunity for our players and supporters to play in another country and compete against quality programs outside of our conference."
- CBS Sports Network will broadcast the four games in the Riviera Division in Cancun.
Quick Hits...
- The Richmond Spiders ripped off a 24-3 run to start the game on Saturday and held the Pioneers to just 37.5% (21-56) shooting in a win.
- The Pioneers shot a season-best 51.1% (24-57) at Rutgers but couldn't overcome the Scarlet Knight's 63.0% (34-54) effort in the loss. Rutgers erased a SHU three-point lead at the half with a 21-of-26 (80.8%) shooting effort in the second half.
- The loss at Rutgers dropped the Pioneers to 0-15 all-time against teams from the Big East Conference. SHU will face the league once more this season at Notre Dame. The loss to the Spiders dropped SHU to 0-8 against the Atlantic-10 Conference.
- R-Junior guard Shane Gibson poured in a season-high 26 points at Richmond. It was Gibson's first 20-point game this season and the 13th of his career. Gibson registered 11 games with 20-plus points last season. Gibson took a career-high 21 shots on his way to 26 points vs. the Spiders.
- Sophomore guard Evan Kelley registered a career-high 16 points at Rutgers, making all five of the shots he took.
- R-Junior center Justin Swidowski is off to a fast start, averaging 12.3 ppg and is shooting 58.1% (18-31) from the field, ranking fifth among NEC leaders.
- Senior forward Stan Dulaire recorded his first career double double and matched his career high for points in the win over Stony Brook. Dulaire scored 14 points (14 vs. LIU 2/11/10) and pulled down 10 rebounds.
Scouting Hampton... Hampton heads to Mexico at 1-2 on the year, beating William & Mary in their opener, 73-58. Senior guard Darrion Pellum leads the Pirates in the early going, averaging 16.3 points per game. Pellum was named to the Preseason All-MEAC first team heading into this season. The duo of junior guard Jasper Williams and sophomore center David Bruce are scoring at a 10.0 per game clip. Bruce is also pulling down 9.3 rebounds per game. The Pirates were picked to finish second in the MEAC this season after a 24-9 mark and NCAA Tournament berth a year ago. The only other Northeast Conference team the Pirates have faced is Monmouth, going 1-2 against the Hawks.
Scouting Lipscomb... The Lipscomb Bisons have lost three-straight heading down to Mexico after a 96-53 win over Fort Valley State in their opener. The Bisons are led by freshman guard Zavion Williams who leads his team and the Atlantic Sun averaging 15.5 points per game. Sophomore guard Robert Boyd is averaging 12.0 points and leads the team in rebounding at 5.3 caroms per outing. Lipscomb was tabbed to finish sixth in the Atlantic Sun this season in the preseason poll. Senior guard Jordan Burgason was named to the Preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. The Bisons finished 17-13 last season.
Scouting SIUE... The Cougars are still looking for their first win in 2011-12 heading down to Mexico. SIUE will play their first full season as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference this season after joining in 2008-09. They will be eligible for postseason play in 2012-13. Junior forward Mark Yelovich is the team's top-scorer, averaging 15.5 points per game.

We aim to provide effective education for everyone, regardless of race, gender or religion. Our mission is to support orphans through the most difficult period in their lives by providing the right opportunities to help build their future. Our goal is to also support both orphans and widows by offering trauma counselling and encouraging them to gain useful skills that will help provide for their families.
Orphans in Iraq are especially at risk of facing poverty throughout their entire lives. Girls either don't go to school at all, or leave at the tender age of nine. Boys don't usually get much more – often leaving at the age of 11 to find a job to support their families. These schools will promote effective learning with a focus on preparing students for life in a competitive and globalised world.
Millions of widows and families struggle throughout Iraq due to a lack of education and training, hindering them from working. Orphan children who have not attended school or who may not be academically inclined can benefit from this training by equipping themselves with valuable skills in various fields, such as IT, Home Economics and Construction just to name a few. This unique training facility will enable orphans and widows to gain practical skills, which will help them to work and provide for their families and communities.
Children in Iraq are witnessing a total collapse of the economy, sectarian violence, family breakdowns and gut-wrenching poverty. In fact, The Brussels Tribunal has found 46.8% of the studied population of children in Iraq face grave health issues such as psychological and mental disorders. According to the UN World Health Organisation (WHO), the fourth leading cause of morbidity among Iraqi civilians older than the age of five is 'mental disorders' – ranking even higher than infectious disease. The Wellness Centre will serve as a healing environment, where orphans and widows suffering from these types of devastation and trauma will be provided with much needed therapy.
The Prayer and Multipurpose Hall will be a peaceful, relaxing haven for students and teachers to come and perform their prayers away from the hustle and bustle of the school buildings. They will also be able to use the room to read Quran and meditate to find calm and strengthen their spirituality.
A: The school will be in Karbala, a city located in central Iraq. It's a place of deep significance and visitors to this location number more than 40 million per year. We were fortunate to be given some partially donated land in this city in an area with rampant poverty and in proximity to where a lot of our orphans already live. Karbala is also the location of our largest office in Iraq. We currently have over 600 sponsored orphans (our highest number in any one city) in Karbala and are fortunate to have many dedicated resources in this area, which will help with a project of this size.
A: A stringent application process will be put in place to hire teachers. Recruitment will only be confirmed following a series of interviews, thorough background checks as well as robust evidence of their ability to teach effectively to prepare children in the best way possible. Continuous training for teachers will be mandatory to improve their skills. We are also keen to advertise abroad to give people the opportunity to teach English as well as other subjects in Iraq.
A: Each class will have approximately 20 students to maximise efficient learning – with a maximum of 30 students. The average class size in government run schools in Iraq is approximately 50-60 and we strongly believe this is not conducive to effective learning.
A: In addition to the standard curriculum which is taught in Iraq, the added differentiator in our school will be a focus on learning English, computer skills and physical education, among other areas.
A: The school will provide a host of extra-curricular activities as we hope this will strongly enhance the learning of the pupils and encourage them to enjoy their time at school and view it in a very positive, life changing way.
The activities we will offer are subject to change but the following is a sample:
- Sports (i.e. Football, Mixed Martial Arts, Multi-sports, Gymnastics and more)
- Art (Painting, Drama and Nasheed club)
- Homework Club (Math, Science, English)
- Computer club
- Poetry club
A: Yes. We are required by the local authorities to have regular inspections every three months. We will also conduct internal audits to ensure the quality of standards we have set for the school are being regularly met.
A: Construction of the school will happen in the following stages:
o Foundation
o Ground Floor (classrooms, canteen, library)
o 1st Floor (classrooms, science lab, computer room)
o 2nd Floor (classrooms)
o 3rd Floor (sports hall, workshops)
o Rooftops, playgrounds and external corridor
o Finishing and furnishing
Stage 4: Secondary School
A: As a sponsor, you will have access to your orphans' records through a special student portal. This will allow you to check their progress as they continue to develop academically.
A: There are so many ways to get involved and make a difference! You can help by organising fundraising events, such as sports tournaments, charity walks, marathons and many more. You can also volunteer and give us your time to support this project. Help us spread the word and raise awareness about this great cause as well and as always, make please pray for the success and reward granted by the Almighty for the donors, volunteers and all those who help in any way – and for the continued success of this project.
A: Living in the West, it's often difficult to connect to the orphans in Iraq who desperately need our help. We don't usually see them, visit their homes or take time to find out exactly what their needs are. At Noor Orphans Fund, we can be the bridge for you to help them – and to help you take care of your moral and religious responsibility. You can be assured in the knowledge that every penny you donate will go towards the orphans and the school we are building. Please help us light up their lives, and educate them towards a more hopeful future!

Concert venues are ripe for many potential causes of injury – slip and fall injuries, especially. Sometimes these injuries are caused by the property owner, the management company of the venue, the security company (if any), fellow concert-goers and even the entertainer.
The most experienced injury attorneys in Las Vegas, at Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez, can help you determine whether you have a case worth pursuing. Certain benchmarks must be met, including:
Have you sustained damages?
They don't have to amount to millions, but you must have sustained damages, including, economic damages, such as medical bills and, usually, lost wages; non-economic damages, particularly pain, suffering and emotional distress; and any other expenses incurred as a direct result of the accident.
Can fault be established?
Personal injury cases pivot on the issue of fault; without it, a personal injury case cannot proceed. A plaintiff must prove someone's actions or inactions caused an injury to occur. Put another way, this means someone must have either knowingly created an unsafe condition or knew about the condition and failed to remedy it. In other words, they were negligent.
Understandably, people who have sustained an injury sometimes assume fault is simple to prove – or should be. In fact, the most skilled injury attorneys know fault can sometimes be tricky to prove especially in these types of cases. It's a fallacy to think there is any such thing as an "ironclad" personal injury case.
Is it clear who is at fault?Injuries caused by a structure collapse, wet pavement, a rickety staircase, poor lighting or an obstruction can appear straightforward compared with, say, an injury caused by a drunken concert-goer who punches someone in the nose and renders that person unconscious. Was the venue owner aware of that person's drunken state – and can it be proved? – but failed to act? This may be sufficient to establish negligence against the venue owner. On the other hand, if the venue owner was unaware of the disorderly conduct (and had no way of knowing about it), that drunken third party may be the only party held liable. Overcrowding and insufficient security can be factors in a personal injury (or premise liability) suit, but they can complicate an already complex web of events.
Contact the injury attorneys in Las Vegas at GGRM
For clarity, consult the most trusted injury attorneys in Las Vegas at Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez. They know injuries sustained at concert venues trigger more information to sift through than a three-hour set list. They're ready to protect your best interests – and hit all the high notes along the way. Call 702-388-4476 for a free consultation today.

Essential Opinion: B&B
There's countless LGBT horror flicks out there, but few of them can really master the subtleties and sublime terror you find in a Hitchcock classic. B&B is part of these playful, but fierce exceptions. Poking fun at some of our most beloved thriller tropes, writer and director Joe Ahearne has crafted a half-satire, half-horror film brimming with suspense, humour and unforgettable plot twists. Fair warning: although B&B isn't for the uninitiated, you shouldn't go into it as a horror connoisseur, but rather as a movie buff looking for a thrill.
Gay people love a good bed and breakfast. But what happens when a relaxing holiday turns into a showdown between equality and hate? Marc (Tom Bateman of Da Vinci's Demons) and Fred (Sean Teale, Incorporated) are a happily married couple that have had their fair share of bad luck when it comes to finding holiday inns. One year after they were refused lodging by a homophobic B&B owner, the two men have won a lawsuit against the businessman and have decided to rub salt in the wound by returning to his guest house. Celebrating both their long-lasting relationship and their rightful victory over bigotry, Fred and Marc take it a step too far when relishing their new, single-bed room. It appears that the Christian owner, Josh (Paul McGann), is dead-set on getting revenge, even if it means killing them in their sleep!
Ahearne tackles topics like homophobia and resentment in a witty and ingenious manner by finally disentangling gay characters from the image of the hero, the lonely outsider or the stereotypical villain. Instead, B&B cleverly brings forth real characters, with genuine depth and a strong personality behind any limiting labels. Moreover, the film doesn't get stuck in tacky plot lines or cliché representations. Sure, it starts off with a common theme – a misfortunate gay couple that walks into a nightmarish situation – but slowly builds up from there and turns into a witty steamrolling of events that has the viewer glued to their screen from the very first shot to the last.
Introducing Paul's character (Callum Woodhouse) – the businessman's young and clearly gay son – is not just a cosmetic addition to the film's roster, but rather a strategic move that opens up the way to a series of remarkable and flawlessly interwoven plot twists. Ahearne then manages to pursue relevant subplots (like how far a zealous and intolerant father will go to save his secretly homosexual son) while still maintaining a tense atmosphere and keeping the story credible and relatable. The same can be said regarding the chilling arrival of the hunky, intense Alexie (James Tratas), a Russian Neo-Nazi whose motivations are shrewdly hidden from the viewer until the film's final reveal.
What makes B&B a truly unique LGBT film is its malleability and openness – there's no political game, no stereotypical gay men or bigots, no pro-social agenda and no deep-rooted stances about who is wrong and who is right. Albeit taking a jab or two at Christian propaganda and siding with etiquette and the decency of equal rights in the end, Ahearne's movie does not aggrandize or attempt to convince the viewer of one point of view or another. There's not one unequivocal perspective being pushed as absolute and no moralizing about abhorrent or desirable behavior. Instead, the viewer gets a raw taste of a multitude of perspectives and is left to decide for himself which one he finds more palatable.
Ultimately, Ahearne pieces together a rare thriller that surprisingly manages to live out Hitchcock's undying dream – combining horror with comedy. The smart writing and crisp, on-point humor in B&B keeps the viewer entertained without fail, adding a much needed light-heartedness to the jittery tone of the movie. Lastly, the main trio's performance is exemplary given the film's miniscule budget, creating a riveting and brilliant interplay between characters that you scarcely see in today's horror motion pictures. All of these elements combined make B&B one of the most compelling thrillers of the year, using comedic effect in order to explore real fears that LGBT people struggle with such as fear of rejection and oppression.

It's unique and oh-so-special to walk on a road no one has taken before. Or more over to create your own road! That's what Bebee online shop has done – here's an interview with Vivian Lepp, one of the two women behind the concept.
Vivian, what makes Bebee special and different?
We are the only online shop that operates only on Estonian children's design products – we gather unique kids wear and interior design articles and promote and sell them. Everything you see is carefully chosen – either because of the superior quality or unique design.
What's the farthest place where you have sent a package?
I guess it must be California.
What fun ideas have you got from your shop?
I'm very fond of Sleepy Fox because they make super cool trolley bags that are also very practical in our cold climate. They can be used with up to -20C outside! Another brand that we invited to our shop and are totally in love with is Prostoconcept that makes the cutest decorative pillows!
What are the top selling pieces in your shop?
It changes over time but for example Willmar's trolley bags made of merino wool are very popular right now. But also Annalutter's bow ties and Eerin's and Bebe Organic's kids wear pieces that are both good looking and suitable for kids with sensitive skin.
Who is your buyer?
There is no such thing as a typical buyer, we are here for everyone who is interested in Estonian design and even if you don't have kids we hope to give you a fulfilling experience and that you'll find a nice gift for your niece or nephew. During Christmas we have this special service that you can email us with your wish or gift idea (or with no idea at all) and we will help you to find a perfect gift that you can wrap and hide under a Christmas tree. Just email us firstname.lastname@example.com and we will help to make the decision easier for you.
What's the funniest reaction you have got from a client?
We are constantly happily surprised by the overwhelming positive feedback and that people who have once bought something usually return to our shop.

Coalition for Juvenile Justice
The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) is a nationwide coalition of State Advisory Groups (SAG) and allies dedicated to preventing children and youth from becoming involved in the courts and upholding the highest standards of care when youth are charged with wrongdoing and enter the justice system. The CJJ "Safety, Opportunity & Success: Standards of Care for Non-Delinquent Youth," (SOS Project) is a multi-year partnership that engages SAG members, judicial leaders, practitioners, service providers, policymakers, and advocates. The SOS Project aims to guide states in implementing policy and practices that divert status offenders from the courts to family- and community-based systems of care that more effectively meet their needs. The CJJ joined forces with several national organizations and experts to develop the National Standards for the Care of Youth Charged with Status Offenses (National Standards).

Help your students better understand the "Why" of your physical education program with this 11″x17″ printable poster!
This is a printable product download.
The Adventure Pyramid is what I use to explain the "why" of my physical education program to my students. I let my students know that I want them to get the most out of life, to live as many adventures of possible. Through discussion, we come to realize that the foundation of all adventures is health and that, what links the two together, is physical literacy. To help my students better understand the concept of physical literacy, I refer to my Student-Friendly National Standards graphics. Learn more about the Adventure Pyramid in this blog post

On Dec. 17, 2010 Ohio University announced that alumni Robert D. and Margaret Walter had made a $10 million dollar donation for renovations on the Convocation Center and the creation of a multipurpose facility.
Twenty-four hours later and nearly 1,000 miles away, Ohio football coach Frank Solich broke the news to his ecstatic team during a pregame speech before its 48-21 loss to Troy in the R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl.
At his National Signing Day press conference on Feb. 2, 2011 the coach emphasized the role that donation – the idea of an indoor practice facility – had in recruiting that year's class.
"I think Bob Walter and his donation towards an indoor facility was something we were able to use and assure players that that gift was presented," Solich said. "That was, I'm sure, somewhat big in players' minds."
He talked about how important it was for college athletes – not just his, but all – to be able to train year-round, to have a place to practice in the face of the notoriously fickle Ohio weather. This multipurpose facility would give them the chance to "separate themselves" from other athletes.
Then his tone and his message changed.
"This is going to give not only the football team the ability to use it year-round," Solich said. "It's also going to serve a huge purpose for this university in terms of students and recreation and the community."
Not just intercollegiate athletes, Solich said. Students and faculty, intramurals activities, even Athens community soccer teams could benefit from the Walter donation.
In the face of an estimated $19.7 million university budget gap for the next year, as a representative of an embattled athletic department with it's own budget woes, Solich nimbly sidestepped the proverbial 'gotcha' moment.
As university officials are quick to point out, the multipurpose facility – currently little more than an idea with some substantial financial backing – is intended be used for a broad array of purposes, and serve even broader base across campus.
"Certainly it will be used for intercollegiate athletics, but it will also be used by the Marching 110. It will be used by the ROTC. It will be used by the physical therapy program, by the sports management program," said Rebecca Watts, chief of staff and special assistant to OU President Roderick McDavis. "The sky's the limit."
But still others believe that the multipurpose facility should hardly be a priority for a university exploring employee furloughs and freefalling in academic prestige.
"We're about ready to drop out of the main line schools academically because of budget cuts and other reasons," OU professor of economics Richard Vedder said, "For us to be going full steam ahead on this is the height of irresponsibility.
"It's a frill. It's one that a lot of (Mid-American Conference) schools have. It's one that a lot of schools have. But it's still another example of the athletics arms race in action."

Since we've been testing a lot of FTP clients with our new FTP server for IIS 7, I thought that it would be a good idea to discuss some of the highlights and pitfalls that we have run into when testing various clients.
I thought that I'd begin this series with an examination of several web browsers, which are really not the best FTP clients around - web browsers are mostly just "putting a pretty face" on an FTP site rather than functioning as an FTP client. In any event, here's a summary table of different features that I tested with a few web browsers:
See the individual client notes below for more information on each client.
As far as web browsers are concerned, they're not great FTP clients. That being said, here's my thoughts on their respective experiences:
In the next part of this series, I'll start taking a look at some specific FTP clients.

Submission of applications:
Not offered as an individual program.
4 years (Full-time study)
Credits: 240 ECTS
The Bachelor's Degree in International Relations is designed to produce professionals who are capable of grasping the reality of international relations in an increasingly interdependent world and who can analyze, design strategies and make decisions in various associated professional fields.
Comillas does not offer this degree as an individual program, but rather in dual format combining a second Bachelor's Degree.
Each of the three combined programs is geared towards varying professional profiles and each one, therefore, comprises training that is more directly aimed at major professional environments.
The applicant profile of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations corresponds to individuals who are interested in intercultural communication, history and current world affairs; who have an excellent level in the Spanish language and a high level in their first foreign language (English); who are interested in improving or learning another language and who stand out for their intellectual curiosity and interest in the world around them.
The admissions tests involve sitting exams to assess the common knowledge acquired through secondary and pre-university education subjects and a language exam.
The admission of applicants is determined by the results obtained in these tests with the following weighting: the general knowledge exam, 33%; the English language exam, 33% (students are required to have the B1 level, corresponding to the Common European Framework (CEF)); and the weighted average grades of the last academic years studied by students in the 3rd and 4th years of Compulsory Secondary Education and the 1st year of pre-university education preparation courses.
The 240 ECTS that comprise the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations are structured over four years, 60 ECTS assigned to each. The contents focus on the following areas of knowledge: international politics, international economics, international law, international relations, international security, regional studies, foreign languages and intercultural communication.
The curriculum comprises 52.2 ECTS of elective courses. In order to reinforce the interconnection between the diploma's objectives and the academic training objectives, and taking into account the career prospects, courses are organised in Specialization Concentrations To obtain the corresponding Concentration in "Law and Diplomacy", "Economics and Business" or "Foreign Policy and International Security", the student must take at least 30 credits from the same concentration.
Specialization concentrations are the following:
The content structure of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations largely corresponds to the knowledge areas covered through an interdisciplinary syllabus for the competitive Diplomatic Service exams (last held in 2010 with 201 subjects): Public International Law, Private International Law, Civil Law and Commercial Law, Socio-political Systems, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, International and European Union Bodies, Economic Theory, the World Economy, the Spanish Economy, the Economy of the European Union and Development Cooperation, Sociology, Modern and Contemporary History, International Relations and Foreign Policy. The specific modules in this concentration reinforce the knowledge of the Spanish, community and international legal systems, in both their private and public strands. In addition, they encompass aspects directly related to the legal foundations as well as the theory and practice of diplomacy. The Law and Diplomacy Concentration therefore provides reinforced training for those who want to prepare for the access exams of Diplomatic Service and of community and international bodies, which also hold in high regard an advanced level of practical language skills in at least two foreign languages.
The modules covered in the Foreign Policy and International Security concentration address the most crucial issues on the current international agenda, directly or indirectly related to peace and international security matters. They cover the analytical skills of the complex realities that shape the so-called new points of conflict (jihadist/international terrorism, the competition and fight for energy and natural resources/marine communication channels, regional conflicts, migratory flows, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, etc.). They also include the foreign policy of the main international players, both regarding these conflicts and the analysis of their aims and the steps to achieve them in international negotiations, gearing this training towards the professional profile of international analyst.
The curriculum comprises 52.5 ECTS of optional modules. To reinforce the interconnection between the objectives of the degree and the training for different professional prospects, the modules are organized by study plans. To obtain the Concentration corresponding to "Law and Diplomacy", "Economics and Business" or "Foreign Policy and International Security", students must choose at least 30 credits from the same study plan.
The modules that comprise the Economics and Business concentration, as well as the skills acquired in the compulsory part of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations, will prepare students to make an instrumental contribution when assessing the so-called political-legal, socio-cultural, economic and technological macro-environment that determines business activity anywhere in the world. In this context, the specific additional training on key elements of international business management that students acquire in this concentration will empower them to decisively participate in strategic and risk assessments, as well as business decision-making with regard to expansion into new markets, relations with foreign business associates or the management of international and institutional relations of companies in other countries. As such, the concentration focuses on preparing students for working in the field of transnational business or economic-related bodies and institutions.
The Bachelor's Degree in International Relations provides graduates with adequate personal and professional skills to understand the reality of international relations in an increasingly interdependent world and to analyze, design strategies and make decisions in various associated professional fields.
The skills acquired throughout the first cycle of studies, particularly the extensive and comprehensive knowledge of different factors that explain the complexity of current international relations, the skills to apply such knowledge to diverse circumstances and situations, and the training in the linguistic and cultural tools required in a labor world that, by definition, crosses borders, converts International Relations graduates into professionals with a profile that can be applied to all professional sectors akin to international relations - political and institutional, economic, legal or cultural.
The studies of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations correspond, therefore, to a wide range of professional profiles. The degree training provides the necessary and adequate skills to pursue a future career in the following positions:
Public sector:
Private sector:
Mixed sector:
To bolster training in light of different professional prospects, the optional modules, which represent 52.5 ECTS, are organized in the following three study plans which, if 30 credits are obtained, lead to the corresponding Concentration being acquired:
Law and Diplomacy is designed to more intensely train those wanting to prepare for the access exams of Diplomatic Service and of community and international bodies; Economics and Business for those choosing to focus on roles in transnational companies or, likewise, on preparing to access economic-related international organizations; and finally, a Foreign Policy and International Security Concentration that directs the focus of the degree closer to Political Sciences and the associated professional prospects.

In the fourth academic year, students carry out a compulsory external internship, representing 6 credits. The internships are academically supervised and undertaken in selected entities in the professional environment relating to the degree. These entities include public administration bodies with international outreach, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, international bodies and those in the international business environment. This internship can be preceded by an optional internship in the third academic year, representing 6 credits.
The aim of this internship experience is not just to test the knowledge and skills acquired. The chance to meet future employers, to experience group dynamics and to learn in a company structure are all equally important factors. Comillas Pontifical University's tradition of gearing training towards practice and employment, along with an extensive network of contacts and internship agreements, makes it possible to offer fourth year students an extremely varied and attractive internship list, both in Spain and abroad. Some of the entities that offer internships to International Relations students, under the module framework of International Relations Internships of the 4th academic year, are:
The benefit of student exchange periods has been clearly evident, on both an academic level and a linguistic and personal one, throughout the long-running experience of the Sócrates-Erasmus program. This benefit is amplified in a training program that is defined as international, both in its content and professional profiles, as is the case of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations.
The University offers students the option to study one academic year abroad in another European or Non-European university partner, where study programs are similar to those covered in this academically recognized curriculum.
Students will take advantage of exchange agreements with over 40 prestigious universities in Europe, Asia, America and Australia.

Songs and Rhymes About
Take a bus or take a train,
Take a boat or take a plane,
Take a taxi, take a car,
Maybe near or maybe far,
Take a rocket to the moon,
But be sure to come back soon.
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Let's ride off together!
One wheel, two wheels on the ground.
My feet make the pedals go round and round.
The handlebars help me to steer so straight,
Down the sidewalk and through the gate.
I am a big airplane,
With wings so wide and strong.
My tail stands straight up in the air,
And my body's very long.(Stand on one foot, stretching one leg behind, extended in air.)
Watch me when I'm flying,
For I go very fast.
Let's see who can stay up in the air,
And who runs out of gas! ( remain balanced on one foot.)
Sung to: "Clementine"
I'm an airplane, I'm an airplane
Flying up into the sky.
Flying higher, flying higher
As I watch the clouds go by.
I'm an airplane, I'm an airplane
See me flying all around.
Flying lower, flying lower,
Till I land down on the ground.
I'm an airplane,
(children raise arms at sides to shoulders.)
Now watch me fly!
Here are my instruments
From down low to up high.
(reach from the ground to above heads.)
First I get revved up.
(make engine noises)
Then I can fly,
(raise arms to shoulders)
Lifting off the runway
(start walking forward.)
Up into the sky!
Down by the station early in the morning,
See the little train cars all in a row.
Listen to the engineer pull the big whistle.
Toot-toot, toot-toot! Off we go!
Little red caboose, little red caboose,
Little red caboose behind the train, train, train, train,
Smokestack on its back, going down the track,
Little red caboose behind the train.

NEW ORLEANS -- There was a talent show at the White House Tuesday, and the first lady was right in the middle of it. The performers go to troubled schools that have added the arts to their core curriculum to try to turn them around.
It's an Obama administration program that has been so successful, it was expanded Tuesday to a total of 35 schools.
With so much rhythm in the room, it's hard to imagine music nearly died at one New Orleans school. But four years ago, everything was failing at the school, now known as the Renew Cultural Arts Academy.
Fewer than 15 percent of students could read at grade level. It was one of the lowest testing schools in Louisiana.
"I heard from friends that there was a lot of stuff going on, like fights, and teachers weren't really teaching," says seventh-grader Angela Russell. Angela didn't want to come to the school, but she says things are different since the school decided to put more emphasis on arts education.
"I like everything about being here," she says. "It's, like, the first school I've ever really enjoyed."
Now students like Angela count the measures in band or stand up in math class to act out a bar graph.
"It's not just to have a music education class, you know, during the school day or after school," says Ron Gubitz, the elementary school principal. "But it's actually to use the music and use visual arts and use theater to teach core content."
With the new curriculum, the school has seen a 20 point rise in standardized tests over five years -- plenty of room for improvement, but enough to earn recognition from the White House. Renew is one of the Turnaround schools granted funding to hire more arts teachers, tripling the time kids spend learning the arts.
"We've been doing that work to set a template so that any school sees that it's possible to do this," says actress Alfre Woodard, who volunteers at the school. "Enrollment stays steady, or it goes up, behavioral problems go down and the culture of the schools are transformed."
It's transformed sixth-grader Jarred Gray.
"I was bad," he admits. "I would get put out of class a lot."
With his classmates, he just took his first-ever plane ride -- to the White House.
Jarred says when he found out he was going to the White House, "I fainted."
"I got home and I was like, 'Wait, I'm going to Washington,' and I laid in my bed and I was like, 'Oh, goodness,'" he recalls.
Music woke him up -- and brought his school back to life.

MOSTON CC suffered their first defeat of the season in the Greater Manchester League and quickly blamed it all on Kevin Keegan.
Had his Manchester City team been in a more comfortable position, five Moston players admit they would have turned out in whites and not gone off to the City of Manchester Stadium.
To make matters worse Moston's match was against reigning champions Shadoos.
Things started well for Moston, they won the toss, but from that point it only got worse.
Only three Shadoos' batsmen reached double figures. The problem was that their individual scores of 86, 57 and 33 helped their team reach a total of 197 for six.
In reply, three Moston batsmen also reached double figures, but their scores of 29, 24 and 17 were way short of what was required.
The unbeaten 29 from Grant Redfern proved vital as Moston reached 100 for eight off 40 overs, thus ensuring a valuable bonus point for scoring more than half of the first innings total.
This coming weekend, with City safe, Moston hope to field a near full-strength team against Hurricane Lions.

There is this thing Dana Rohrabacher does, and he's ridiculously good at it. I'm going to use a hypothetical example to illustrate …
Reporter Jim: "Congressman, some people have said you're blindly loyal to Donald Trump. Is there any truth to that?"
Rohrabacher: "You know, Jim, I've been doing this a long time. And it will never cease to amaze me, the depth liberals will go to discredit me. But here's the thing—while I'm working hard for the good people of Orange County, they're always off on these wild goose chases. And people are smart enough to recognize what it is. Crazy far-left lunacy."
It's Rohrabacher: 101. He uses the reporter's first name to show, hey, I'm on your level. We're two dudes talking. He avoids answering the question. He deftly feeds his loyal followers anti-liberal red meat, while also reminding the general populous that, look, I'm just a guy trying to get things done, while the opposition is a bunch of nuts.
It sucks. But, again, he's really, really, really, really good at it.
I bring this up because earlier today Rohrabacher was in the news again, this time for having met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
This, from the Los Angeles Times …
Now, any human being with a head should be horrified by the above information. It doesn't matter if you're right, if you're left, if you're center—why in God's name is Dana Rohrabacher, a California congressman, meeting with Julian Assange? And why, oh why, is he so desperate to clear Russia's reputation—even after multiple United States intelligence agencies have confirmed the very thing (election tampering) Assange is denying?
It's craziness. Fruit Loop craziness. And were I running against Rohrabacher, I'd want to use it 1,000 times over.
But … here's the thing. Thanks to the Donald Trump-influenced numbing of our souls and brains, stuff like this (groundbreaking material that must horrify us all) no longer packs the punch of yesteryear. Assange? Meh, old news. Russian tampering? Yawn. I mean, sure, it's a fine rallying point for the base. But will it sway Republicans to vote Democratic? Probably not.
Here, however, is what might.
We, the residents of Orange County's 48th district, did not elect Dana Rohrabacher so he can be the Russian spokesperson. We didn't elect Dana Rohrabacher to meet with Julian Assange. We did not elect him to deal with Turkey, to square off against the Ukraine, to take a trip to South Africa.
No, congressmen and congresswomen exist because we, the people of their districts, have specific needs—and they are our spokespeople. If I don't like the way traffic flows through Main Street, I should be able to call Rohrabacher and get help. If I think the coyote population is out of control, I should be able to call Rohrabacher and get help. If I'm worried about common core, about the new mall, about social security impacting my family … on and on and on and on. I need to be able to reach out to my congressman and have my concerns eased.
At one time, perhaps that's who Dana Rohrabacher was. But not now. The man is horrible at returning calls and e-mails. He rarely makes himself accessible to constituents. He basks in the national while ignoring the local.
It's his 2018 Achilles heel, and it's an enormous one.
So, were I running against him, I wouldn't campaign on the specifics of Russia.
No. I'd campaign on the question: "Why, when my property taxes are through the roof, is my congressman visiting the Ecuadorean Embassy in London?

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.

When does unexplained death become a museum topic?
Apparently when displays and exhibits about the subject are so artistically produced that they actually re-create in miniature mock scenes that could offer forensic clues about what happened.
Murder Is Her Hobby: Frances Glessner Lee and The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death is designed to explore the surprising intersection between craft and forensic science, according to Smithsonian spokespeople. Currently on exhibit through January 28 in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum in New York, it also reveals the journey of a female investigator who made her way through the male-dominated field of police investigation in order to establish herself as one of the field's leading experts.
"Lee (1878-1962) crafted her extraordinary "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death"—exquisitely detailed miniature crime scenes—to train homicide investigators to "convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell." These dollhouse-sized dioramas of true crimes, created in the first half of the 20th century and still used in forensic training today, helped to revolutionize the emerging field of homicide investigation," wrote the museum staff.
The first female police captain in the country, she has been recognized as the "mother of forensic science" and helped to set up the first-of-its kind Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard University when the field of forensics was in its infancy. A gifted artist as well as a criminologist, she used the craft of miniature-making that she had learned as a young girl to create the Nutshells that were the "virtual reality" of their day (starting in the 1940s).
Every element of the dioramas—from the angle of miniscule bullet holes, the placement of latches on widows, the patterns of blood splatters, and the discoloration of painstakingly painted miniature corpses—challenges trainees' powers of observation and deduction. The Nutshells are so effective that they are still used in training seminars today at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore.
This exhibit represents composites of 19 real and extremely challenging cases featuring homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths. And she did so, according to the exhibit's curator, with an eye towards recognizing victims such as women, the poor, and people living on the fringes of society, whose cases might be overlooked or tainted with prejudice on the part of the investigator. She wanted trainees to recognize and overcome any unconscious biases and to treat each case with rigor, regardless of the victim.

On the Chalkboard: A Fresh New Look In Healdsburg
Chalkboard Restaurant fits right in to the lively Healdsburg Plaza neighborhood. The new 62-seat restaurant is casual and contemporary, bursting with freshness from the bright, airy space to the seasonal ingredients.
Designer Catherine Macfee brought light and spaciousness to the former Cyrus Restaurant space by removing walls that reveal banks of large, glass-paned windows and the shiny chefs kitchen. Washed white oak floors and Carrara marble tabletops add brightness while textured, Baltic Blue banquettes add pops of color and breezy Wine Country feel.
Custom metal grate defines spaces like the wing walls around the kitchen entrance and this wine storage unit that anchors the 9-foot communal oak table. The chandelier is by Paul Ferrante.
In the evening, the dining room transforms into an elegant space with the uplit colonnade highlighting the formal vaulted ceilings.
The 20-seat bar has also been revitalized with crisp white marble tabletops and distressed metal finishes. The street-side bar is a great place to have drinks or dine while watching the lively activity outside.
The "chalkboard" in the restaurant's name signifies Executive Chef Shane McAnelly's daily-changing fare of seasonal dishes including salads, seafood, roast and grilled meats and handmade pastas. Much of the fruits and vegetables come from owner Bill Foley's organic garden at Chalk Hill Winery estate.
Check for new lunch service beginning this month. Chalkboard is open for dinner from 5 p.m. Monday – Sunday, the bar from 4 p.m. 29 North Street, Healdsburg

Family accused of selling synthetic drugs at Shelby Township gas station charged with multiple violations
Five members of a family accused of selling synthetic and other illegal drugs out of a Shelby Township gas station and smoke shop were formally charged Tuesday with multiple felony offenses.
Defendants facing charges of possession and/or delivery of controlled substances, including marijuana and synthetic drugs commonly called "K2," are: Audrick Dabish, 18, of Sterling Heights; Dabish Dabish, 35, of West Bloomfield; David Dabish, 39, of Sterling Heights; Derick Dabish, 17, of Sterling Heights; and Faize Dabish, 63, of West Bloomfield.
All were arraigned Tuesday in Shelby Township's 41A District Court. Magistrate Michael Osaer set $10,000 personal bond on all but Dabish Dabish, whose bond was set at $10,000 cash or surety. The family members are scheduled to return to court Jan. 31 for a preliminary examination.
A sixth family member, Derick Dabish, 31, is in the custody of another law enforcement agency and was not part of Tuesday's arraignment. He faces similar charges.
The attorneys for the defendants either declined or could not be reached for comment.
Law enforcement authorities accuse the family members of selling drugs out of a Citgo gas station and the Woodstock Smoke Shop near 21 Mile Road and Van Dyke in Shelby Township.
Shelby Township police Chief Roland Woelkers said the arrests culminated a nine-month police investigation that included law enforcement agencies from Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, Oakland County, the Michigan State Police and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
"This was a community-wide effort," Woelkers said.
The gas station and smoke shop were the focus of protests last summer. Protesters were made up primarily of parents of teenagers concerned about the sale of the then-legal synthetic drugs sold under various names including K2 and Spice. News reports that linked the substances to violent behavior in some users prompted the parents' concerns.
The synthetic drugs were made illegal by legislative action last summer, but police said the Dabish family continued to sell the substances as well as other illegal drugs from their business establishments.
Authorities arranged several controlled buys at the establishments to build their case against the defendants, Woelkers said.
"I believe this is the first really strong case to go forward to the courts," the chief said.
At one point after K2 and similar drugs were banned by the Macomb County Health Department, county Executive Mark Hackel and Sheriff Anthony Wickersham paid an unannounced -- and warrantless -- visit to the Dabish's business. The visit was recorded by a Detroit television station.
Woelkers said the involvement of Hackel and Wickersham did not play a role in the police operation.
"We were four to five months into the investigation at that time," the chief said.
Shelby Township Supervisor Rick Stathakis said the arrests send a message that the sale of the now-illegal synthetic substances will not be tolerated.
"We will find you, we will prosecute you and we will put you in jail," Stathakis said.
The supervisor also said a representative of the Citgo corporation told him the oil company is in the process of "debranding" the Dabishs' business because of the drug allegations.

BEYOND THE BARS: TRANSFORMING (IN)JUSTICE is the fifth annual student-driven interdisciplinary conference on mass incarceration held at Columbia University. Given the greater consciousness of mass incarceration in the US, this conference brings people from different spaces and places to dig deeper in the work of ending mass incarceration, building justice and engaging in action beyond the weekend.
The conference launches Friday night with Michelle Alexander and several other powerful guest speakers and performances. It continues into Saturday with the goal of developing an agenda for transformative change around mass incarceration. Panelists are coming from a wide range of disciplines, experiences and locations; from government and community-based organizations, to advocates and activists, to students, faculty and community members and to those most directly impacted by mass incarceration who are in all of these roles including formerly incarcerated people and their families. The conference concludes on Sunday with an afternoon of organizing workshops led by several grassroots groups working for change.
This year's Beyond the Bars conference will focus on the idea of transformation. The questions this conference will pose are: How do we work towards lasting transformative change? How do we develop a framework for changing the way our country seeks justice that does not perpetuate the roots of the problems that have led us here? How do we create change that addresses the systemic marginalization while also addressing the need for individual accountability and the safety of our communities and our society? What is a transformative agenda for changing the way we seek justice?

Rawalpindi ended day three needing 142 more runs to win with nine wickets in hand in their match against Sui Northern Gas Piplelines Limited at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Rawalpindi added only one run to their overnight total of 271 for 9 but then bowled SNGPL out for 193 to put themselves in prime position to pick up what would be their second win of the season. The wickets were shared among the Rawalpindi bowlers with seamer Rizwan Akbar and captain Babar Naeem taking three apiece. SNGPL fast bowler Asad Ali got Naved Malik out lbw in his first over to leave Rawalpindi at 3 for 1 at stumps.
Three wickets from left-arm seamer Mohammad Khalil gave Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited a chance to push for their second win as they reduced Islamabad to 197 for 4 at the Diamond Club Ground in Islamabad. Islamabad need another 135 runs to make ZTBL bat again with a day to play. Seamer Junaid Zia became ZTBL's third first-innings centurion as he scored his maiden first-class ton of 89 balls, taking ZTBL's overnight score of 413 for 7 to 583 all out. From then on it was always going to be a matter of trying to save the match for Islamabad. Half-centuries from Nauman Masood and Zeeshan Mushtaq gave them some hope as they reached 189 for 2, but two quick wickets from Khalil at the end of the day meant that Islamabad will be looking up a very steep cliff tomorrow. Khalil's three wickets took him to the top of the list of wicket-takers in Division One this season.
Faisalabad's match against Pakistan International Airlines at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad is heading towards a draw after Faisalabad reached 334 for 8 at the end of day three in response to PIA's 438. PIA were on top at start of the day, but were thwarted by Zeeshan Butt and Naved Latif's 112-run partnership. PIA had another chance to seize control after Latif and Ijaz Ahmed jnr were out in quick succession to leave Faisalabad in trouble at 167 for 5. Wicketkeeper Mohammad Salman came to Faisalabad's rescue scoring a quick 95 and putting together a 124-run stand with Butt, who scored 93. Faisalabad have drawn their previous three games but have no points and look set to continue that pattern as they need another 105 runs to gain a first-innings lead.
National Bank of Pakistan and Karachi Blues' set up what could be an interesting last day at the National Stadium in Karachi as NBP took a 229-run lead with four wickets in hand in the second innings at the end of day three. They started the day by taking Karachi Blues' last five wickets for 61 runs to gain the first-innings lead. Karachi Blues had lost two wickets late on day two and their slide continued as fast bowler Mohammad Talha wiped out the tail to finish with figures of 6 for 90. Offspinner Misbah Khan then took 5 for 50 for Karachi Blues as NBP reached 172 for 6, with Fawad Alam contributing 85 of those runs.
Habib Bank Limited finished on top against Silakot after a topsy-turvy day three at the Jinnah Stadium in Sialkot. HBL seemed to have squandered the advantage after collapsing from their overnight score of 194 for 3 to 275 all out. Azhar Mahmood (48), the former Pakistan allrounder, and fast bowler Shahid Nazir (13) were the only two of HBL's last seven batsmen to reach double-figures as they took a three-run first innings lead. Fast bowler Waqas Ahmed took 4 for 54 for Sialkot on his first-class debut. Sialkot then collapsed to 121 for 6 to leave themselves 118 ahead with one day to play. Mahmood and left-arm fast bowler Kamran Hussain did the damage for HBL with two wickets each.

With the Conservatives struggling in government following the disastrous June general election, Chancellor Philip Hammond's recent Budget aimed at tackling a growing problem for the party – a surge of young people voting, almost exclusively for the opposition Labour Party.
Polls suggest that 64% of under-25s would vote for Labour compared to just 19% for Conservatives, and crucially the story is similar for the 25-49 age group, at 54% to 30% respectively.
After previous widely ridiculed ideas to appeal to the young by scrapping the 'Ibiza tax' (suggested by the Adam Smith Institute, a neoliberal think tank) and to freeze tuition fees at £9,250, will Hammond's Budget pledges impress young voters?
Stamp Duty
The headline announcement of this Budget was abolishing stamp duty for first-time housebuyers on homes up to £300,000, a move which Hammond claimed would help 95% of first-time buyers save an average of £1,660. The unaffordability of both purchasing and renting homes are key issues for younger demographics, particularly with wages continuing to fall, but despite grabbing most of the headlines, further analysis of this policy suggest its effects will be minimal at best.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) was quick to point out that the policy would likely cause house prices to rise by around 0.3%, which a report by the Resolution Foundation put at roughly £3,200 – twice the amount that the average buyer would save. The OBR also found that only 3,500 young people would benefit from the changes, meaning that the scheme's £3.2bn price tag would equate to spending £914,286 per buyer. By contrast, the Resolution Foundation estimated that 40,000 new social homes or 100,000 Housing Infrastructure Fund homes could be built and given away for free for just £2.9bn.
The vast majority of young people are nowhere near being able to put down a deposit on a home, with the average buyer requiring 24 years to save up and 64% of young people giving up on ever affording their own home – most will readily recognise that this stamp duty cut will have no effect on them. As reported by the Financial Times, "the main gainers from the policy are people who already own property, not first-time buyers themselves".
Supporters of Philip Hammond will point out that policy is not made in a vacuum, and that the Chancellor also pledged to raise housing supply by 300,000 per year at a cost of £15.3bn by 2022. Hammond noted that 1.1m homes had been built since 2010, which initially sounds impressive – however, this is actually the lowest level since Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in 1923, and ignores the fact that the population had increased by 1.84m just from 2010-2014, with net immigration alone (ignoring UK births) expected to be nearly 2m from 2010-2017. The number of affordable homes built – defined as 80% of market value, already out of reach for many buyers– last year fell to the lowest levels since 1993.
Lord Macpherson, former Treasury official, has called these plans inadequate, suggesting 'only a massive increase in local authority housebuilding would solve the chronic shortage of new housing'. Critics will also point to the fact that the Conservatives have consistently missed their housing targets since 2010 while homelessness has soared, doubling from 2010-2016.
On housing, it seems, young people will be under no illusion that this Budget will strengthen their chances of future homeownership, while the swelling ranks of private renters will surely remember the Conservatives 'voting against proposed new rules requiring private sector landlords to ensure their properties are fit for human habitation', for example.
Railcard Extension
The third major carrot for young people was the extension of the 16-25 railcard, which gives holders a discount on train fares, to cover under-30s. The initial response to this announcement was again positive before flaws and exceptions began to be discovered and discussed in the news and social media. The Chancellor noted the railcard would give discounts of up to a third on fares, but neglected to mention that this would only cover off-peak travel, and so could not be used by commuters.
Since 2010, rail fares have gone up by an average of 27%, with some commuters paying 43% more for their season ticket – an increase that is twice as fast as that in pay. This does not include the next planned price rise in January 2018, which will be the steepest for five years.
On top of this, despite claims that privatisation has enabled investment and minimised costs to the public, analysis by Action For Rail has found that private investment only accounts for around 1% of all money going towards railways, and that in fact the public still bears the cost of over 90% of all new investment.
Increasingly international young people only need to look across the Channel to see publicly-run alternatives providing far cheaper, faster and more reliable services, particularly during commuter hours.
Informed democracy
Despite Philip Hammond's best efforts, it seems likely that his gamble aiming for the youth vote will backfire. The surge in the youth vote may have been partly down to poor Conservative strategy and an excellent campaign by Corbyn's Labour, but it also demonstrates that young people are shedding their stereotypical apathy and beginning to engage far more with politics.
This energised demographic won't be so easily taken in by cosmetic changes, particularly when they see their wages shrinking, inequality rising and living standards suffering their most sustained fall since records began. Philip Hammond may have done just enough to keep his job, but this Budget almost certainly hasn't managed to stem the flood of young voters away from the Conservatives.
