What our students say
"Since I first came to St Andrews, I have been surrounded by an open, friendly and stimulating environment with outstanding staff members and a vibrant international community. It is this atmosphere that makes St Andrews a unique and inspirational setting to study in. The International Security Studies programme, with its comprehensive curriculum, provides students with a thought-provoking understanding of past and present security issues. The modules provided in the first semester, covering both critical and traditional security perspectives, offered me the perfect opportunity to cultivate my own academic voice and curiosity. Working together with students and lecturers with diverse academic backgrounds and perspectives makes exploring new thoughts and challenges an enriching task. My studies at St Andrews has provided me with a strong foundation from where I have been able to start my future international career."

Course information
The MLitt in International Security Studies is a one-year taught postgraduate programme run by the School of International Relations.
- Allows students to study critical and traditional security approaches.
- Ensures that students grasp the cutting edge debates taking place in security studies.
- Invites students to think originally and pushes them to ask alternative questions.
- Provides opportunities for students to apply a wide array of theoretical lenses.
- Encourages students to focus on specific empirical case studies and global security issues.
Teaching format
The programme consists of four taught modules taken over two semesters and a 15,000-word dissertation in an area of your choice. The two compulsory modules will ground you in both long-standing and contemporary approaches to security issues.
Modules are taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Average lecture sizes range from 20 to 30 students, and tutorial sizes range from 1 to 15 students. Assessment methods include a combination of examination and coursework.
Every MLitt student is assigned a dissertation supervisor who will advise on the choice of subject and provide guidance throughout the research process.
All International Security Studies MLitt students take two compulsory and two optional modules over the course of the programme.
The modules in this programme have varying methods of delivery and assessment. For more details of each module, including weekly contact hours, teaching methods and assessment, please see the latest module catalogue which is for the 2019–2020 academic year; some elements may be subject to change for 2020 entry.
- Critical Security Studies: examines the challenge to traditional conceptions of security presented by the emergence of critical security studies since the end of the Cold War.
- International Security: focuses on important issues and significant debates in security studies.
Here is a sample of optional modules that may be offered.
- The Changing Face(s) of Diplomacy: Emotions, Power and Persuasion in International Relations: highlights the role of emotions, persuasion and communication technology into the diplomatic arena.
- Emergent Great Powers: provides a comparative analysis of the emergence of India and China as great powers within the international system.
- Gender and Terrorism: explores gender as a tool for the construction and maintenance of power.
- The Global Politics of Everyday Life: explores how everyday life and global politics are co-constitutive by drawing on a range of interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives.
- The Military in Politics: introduces students to civil-military relations and then analyses how armed forces impact states domestic politics.
- Non-Western Political Thought: explores different elements of non-Western thought to understand assumptions about the body, political community and the world.
- Political Economy of Conflict: provides a political economy perspective on conflict in a developing economy.
- Religion and International Politics: investigates the so-called 'global resurgence' of politicised religion.
- Security and Development in East Asia: explores how The East Asian region contains some of the gravest security challenges while also being a global economic power.
- Security and Justice Institutions in World Politics: examines the development and efficacy of institutions in the fields of peace, security and justice.
- Spaces of Securitization: explores how securitization unfolds in theory and in practice by investigating the 'spatial turn' in international relations.
Optional modules are subject to change each year, and some may only allow limited numbers of students (see the University's position on curriculum development). You may, with permission, take modules from other MLitt programmes in the School.
The final element of the MLitt is a 15,000-word dissertation. The dissertation should focus on an area of international security studies in which you are interested. Each student is supported by a relevant supervisor from the School who will advise on the choice of subject and provide guidance throughout the research process.
If students choose not to complete the dissertation requirement for the MLitt, there is an exit award available that allow suitably qualified candidates to receive a Postgraduate Diploma. By choosing an exit award, you will finish your degree at the end of the second semester of study and receive a PGDip instead of an MLitt.
The modules listed here are indicative, and there is no guarantee they will run for 2020 entry. Take a look at the most up-to-date modules in the module catalogue.

In a quest to standout in crowd, some buyers give creative touch to their cars. And the Maruti Suzuki Baleno buyers seem to do it more often than other car buyers. Most of you must have seen several modifications of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno hatchback on our portal. However, the one that we are talking about today looks class apart and it's also more powerful than the standard model. Pictures – This Modified Maruti Suzuki Baleno Hatchback Will Surely Turn Heads
Aswin Saseedharan from Kerala has made a few design and mechanical changes to his Maruti Suzuki Baleno 1.3 DDiS Delta model. Highlight of this modified hatch is its engine that has received performance remapping from Pete's Automotive. Check Out – India's Top 5 Modified Maruti Swift
While the regular 1.3L DDis diesel powertrain delivers 74bhp at 4,000rpm, the modified unit delivers 95bhp. Further enhancing its efficiency are the 'Performance fully synthetic engine oil' (instead of the normal lubricate), Molygen oil and Cera Tec from Liqui Moly. The latter reduces the wear and tear inside the engine.
What adds to its 'cool quotient' is the Glossy Black mirror, window pillar, roof top and spoiler. The modified Maruti Baleno gets honey-comb mesh grille at the front chrome accent front grille instead of the regular 6-row unit. In order to give a sportier feel to the car, Aswin has replaced the regular 15-inch 5.5J, 185/65 R15 tyres with larger 17-inch 9J, 215/45 R17 tyres. Read – This modified Suzuki Swift Sport Looks Red Hot!
Interior of this modified Maruti Baleno offers a more premium feel. The key changes include a completely new audio system, Kicker sub woofer, Hertz HCP-4 4 Channel Amp, Sony Xplode 2 Channel Amp, Pioneer Headunit, Infinity front door components and JBL back door components.

Winter rainfall was plentiful, followed by an excellent summer growing season, mild for Alentejan standards. An early harvest with a rapid end, due to the early arrival of September rains.
A blend of Aragonez (Tempranillo), Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira fermented and matured in raw clay amphorae. 12 months of maturation in amphorae allowed for the natural evaporation and subsequent concentration of the wine held within due to the porous properties of raw clay. This is a wine born from the fusion of minimal interventional ancient techniques and modern winemaking.

Notice how the disciples reacted to the storm on the Sea of Galilee, and see if you recognize any of the same traits in yourself: (1) Fear makes us doubt God's care. The disciples asked Jesus, ". . Master, carest thou not that we perish?" (v. 38). They didn't ask about His strength: "Can you still the storm?" Or His knowledge: "Are you aware of the storm?" Or His know-how: "Do you have any experience with storms?" Instead they voiced doubts about His character: "Do you not care?" If you let it, fear will erode your confidence in God's love and make you forget His faithfulness. (2) Fear makes us reach for control. Jesus was asleep, so the disciples woke Him and said, "Do something, quick!" Fear comes from a perceived loss of control. When we're afraid, we grab for a component of life that we can manage—like our diet, or our job, or the neatness of our house, or in many cases—people. The more insecure we feel, the more controlling we tend to become. (3) Fear makes us forgetful The Bible says, ". . . he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:" (Matthew 8:16). What a resume! But fear gives us spiritual amnesia; it makes us forget what Jesus has already done and how good He has been to us. And what was Jesus' response? "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?" Faith doesn't eliminate fear; it silences it, robs it of its power, and draws us closer to God. And when that happens things begin to change for the better.
"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." (Psalm 42:11)
My Prayer: Gracious Father, thank You for being my ever-present help in my time of need. You lift my countenance and fill my heart with everlasting delight and tranquility. Your greatness is unsearchable! Your love so unfathomable! May Your Name be lifted on high and praised forevermore!

Deadline Trades
what are your thoughts on your teams (or any for that matter) deadline trades.
i'm glad Shero didn't make any drastic moves for the Pens. they could have moved some stuff around, but the team is solid and has good chemistry right now. i'm a happy camper that we had no trades.

Flyers added to the D before the deadline, but nothing major. Grossman, is alright, but I'm not impressed with Kubina. I'm just glad they didn't sell the franchise to try and get Nash. I figured somebody would, but I guess Howson wants just too much.
The Kings getting Carter was kinda funny though. It's like Flyers West out there!

A 16-year-old boy who was attempting to climb into his room from the balcony of a cruise ship tripped and fell to his death last Friday.
In a statement to People, Owen Torres, Royal Caribbean's corporate communications manager, confirmed the death saying, "We are saddened by the loss of one of our guests in a tragic accident." However, Torres did not offer any further information on him.
Speaking to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Broward Medical Examiner's Office identified the guest as Laurent Mercer.
According to the Broward Medical Examiner's Office's statement to People, Mercer had forgotten his room key and was on the eighth floor of Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas cruise ship when he attempted to climb into his room from a nearby balcony.
At the time of Mercer's death, the ship was reportedly in the middle of a week-long Caribbean cruise and was docked at Labadee, Haiti. Mercer slipped and fell onto the pier, as per medical examiner's office who made the ruling after Mercer's body was turned over when the ship returned to Florida on Sunday. "The ship's medical team responded to the pier and attempted CPR, but the [boy] had sustained major head trauma and he was pronounced dead," the medical examiner's office said.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, Mercer was on the seven-day cruise with his family. He hailed from Wallis and Futuna islands, a French archipelago in the South Pacific.
Having said that, this is the latest accident in a series of tragedies for the Royal Caribbean cruise line. Earlier this month, an outbreak of norovirus left 277 passengers and crew members ill. A month prior to that, a 20-year-old crew member went missing after going overboard on Christmas Day.

On a Macbook Pro i7, OS 10.9 the Analysis screen in Search overlaps the rows so they are unreadable. Any ideas?
OSX & iOS | Logs | Install
Hello Stephen,
What build version are you using? I cannot reproduce this on Mac 10.9 in 5.2 SR-3.
I was actually able to reproduce this on Mac in 5.2 SR-3. Once I click the font slider in the panel menu to make the font larger or smaller, it displays the table correctly without any overlapping.
I contacted Logos support and was told to reload the basic program. I found that enlarging or reducing the text size with command +/- solved the problem.
Thanks all
Stephen Elliott:the Analysis screen in Search overlaps the rows so they are unreadable.
This should be fixed in 5.2a Beta 1.

I prefer read the book and then watch the film. It's hard to compare staff like that but I disagree with the person who said that you got more from the film. I think the film can't describe the whole book. It's just too short for that.
jmajo replied on Uruguay
I prefer the books because they allow to create your own scenario while reading the lines, so I agree with the voice number 4. While reading a book you must use your imagination to create unique images in your mind, the sounds and all the rest of the stuff that a movie shows to you when you go to a cinema.
Although the sounds and video effects are really interesting too, I like to read more than watch a movie in most of the occasions.
Thanks for the podcasts, are really good for practise all the English skills.
Dictofon replied on Russia
50 to 50. Sometimes I read books, sometimes I watch movies. Sometimes I watch a film adaptation, and after I read a book, but more often I do the opposite.
Ethel replied on Argentina
Many times it has happened to me that I read the book first, and then I did not like the movie. But, if I see the movie and then read the book, I take the pictures I saw and enjoy reading more.

Hello RailRoadBill,
This is an example of a participle phrase, not a finite verb like the past continuous.
We have a page explaining this structure. You can find it here:

firasalqatan replied on Iraq
he sounded terrible
I get bored
why we use ed with the adjectives sound and bore
but could you explain who he is for us?
why not use can here not could?
Peter M replied on Poland
In each example you have a verb followed by an adjective:
'sounded' is a verb and 'terrible' is an adjective:
He sounded bored.
[subject - verb - subject complement]
'get' is a verb and 'bored' is an adjective
I get bored.
[subject - verb = subject complement]
You can say '...could you explain...' or '...can you explain...'
Both are correct and there is no real difference in meaning here. 'Could' sounds more polite in some situations but both are fine.

About PQDT Open Search
For a number of years, the United States has recognized the shortage of individuals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Programs and initiatives have been created and implemented (Karahan et al., 2015), STEM curricula have been developed by middle and high schools (Christensen, Knezek, & Tyler-Wood, 2015), and funding has been directed by the government to increase presence in these areas. Despite these efforts, the disparity in the number of women in specific STEM careers, particularly, engineering and computer science persists.
The purpose of this mixed methods phenomenological study is to determine why women are underrepresented in engineering and computer science, and to determine the positive motivators and barriers that women in the field have experienced. By determining these positive factors and barriers, we may develop programs and procedures that will encourage young women and help them to achieve success in attaining a career in engineering or computer science. The current study was guided by three research questions. An online researcher-constructed questionnaire was administered to STEM practitioners in 100 organizations and follow-up interviews were conducted with a small subsample of the participants. The responses were categorized as positive factors or negative barriers. There were 102 positive factors identified which were categorized into 12 groups. Chi-squares were run to find the attainment of CSE and NON-CSE careers by gender yielding a statistically significant result. ANOVAs were also run to determine the statistical significance of the influence of various motivating factors by gender. Based on the results of the study, recommendations for policies were made that can bring equity for women in the fields of engineering and computer science.

The information exposed includes customer name, age, residential address, email address, phone number, customer number, bank account number, and account balance. It is unclear how many customers have been affected.
