"Awesome,and original."
I love this series,the author doesn't bore the reader with unnecessary jargon or technical information,but adds enough to make it interesting and help the story along. Audible,keep doing these books!
"Larry can really tell a story."
You are only reading my review if you finished book one "Hard Magic." Hard Magic was great. Spell Bound leave us with even more questions and cliff hangers. I felt more involved with the characters in this book. Obviously if you liked book one,you will also be a fan of book two. Read it.
Larry! Where is book 3??
"Original and entertaining."
Quite a few reviewers have said that the Grimnoir series is way better than the MHI books. I personally disagree. BUT,the Grimnoir books are fantastic,original and they keep you listening. I loved that in between chapters we get some new history blurbs as they could have happened with the addition of magical powers.
Sweet story,read the publishers description,and then be surprised that the book is way better than the publisher describes.
"Owen gets his ass kicked again."
New bad men,some questions answered and some new questions asked. Agent Franks is back in book 3,thank goodness. Why couldn't i figure out who he was sooner?? Im not going to recap the publishers description of this book. If you love the MHI books,then you will love this 4th book in the series. I cant wait for the next book.
This second MHI book is awesome. It had me laughing out loud,and i don't laugh at just anything. This book continues with some bad ass monsters and demons trying to wipe out some of MHI's best. But it also will finally tell us where internet spam comes from, the secret lives of garden gnomes,and online trolls.
Awesome story,funny listen,get it.
"A decent distraction from the MHI story."
This book is not going to have the characters you have grown to love in the first MHI book. Its all about Earl Harbinger. I have to admit,for me,it started a little slow. But then once it got going it was great. Some new characters will be moving on to the next book and you will be happy that they do.
"Do not let the title fool you."
Honestly,the title of this series made me think it was going to be a book for 5th grade boys. After a good friend of mine telling me that his father read the first book and loved it, and that my friend then read it and loved it,i had to give it a try.
The MHI books are high up on my list of favorite listens. The narrator is aweomse,the story NEVER has a dull spot and its also funny while entertaining. I love these books. Give them a try.
"Loved this book."
Those of you that have been hooked on this series, Empire will not disappoint. This book really had a twist i never saw coming. Its a great listen.
I really want to meet Quan and hang out with him, his jokes crack me up.
I really hope that there is at least one more book in this series. This one ended and left me wondering.
I expected more. But i honestly can say that there wasn't much in the way of moving the story along or answering many questions from the first book. It was OK, i hope the next installment picks up.
"Brad Thor has done it again, and again, and again."
What a great book. Its constantly moving and keeping you engaged. Who needs TV when you can listen to this book?
Do you want to know what is happening in our country? Read this book. The fence that is being built around us is detailed inside. And that, is not a work of fiction.
"Great idea, poor execution."
I really like the concept of the cell phone accident. Phoners and normies.
This was a story that could have been great. But it ended up just being mediocre. I cant say i would tell anyone i know to get this one.
Its a twist on the zombie type of books out there. But better. The only thing is, you never care about the characters in this story.
I love Stephen King, i really do, but he let me down on this one.

Center for Religious Immigration and Protection and the "Year for Priests"
Mon, 06/29/2009 - 8:21am — mfrankenPope Benedict XVI has officially declared June 19, 2009-June 19, 2010 the "Year for Priests." In his declaration of the "Year for Priests," the Pope mentions the ecclesial, communal, hierarchical, and doctrinal dimensions that come with being a priest. He also emphasized that without priests, "there would be no Eucharist, no mission" and no Church. Pope Benedict XVI goes on to say:

Firefighters cut the lock on the gate and were able to get inside and douse the fire.
Once inside, police noticed another truck has expletives and the words "I got you" spray painted on the vehicle.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen anything to call Detective Michelle Sims at 706-238-5124.

Cambridge syllabus material and other resources are listed in our Publications Catalogue.
First introduced by Cambridge in 1994, Cambridge AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) Diploma provides a high-quality English-medium qualification which prepares young people for honours degree programmes. It is a 'group' certificate which requires the study of subjects drawn from three curriculum areas. Cambridge AICE Diploma offers students the opportunity to tailor their studies to their individual interests, abilities and future plans within an international curriculum framework.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma programme is used by schools around the globe and was successfully piloted between 1997 and 2000 in Florida where it continues to receive legislative support and funding. Cambridge AICE Diploma and pre-AICE Diploma courses will be listed in future Florida Course Code Directories and have been evaluated by the Department of Education's Articulation Coordinating Committee for the purpose of recommending college course equivalencies. High-school students in Florida have been earning prestigious Cambridge AICE Diplomas and succeeding in Cambridge AICE Diploma examinations since 1998. Many colleges and universities are awarding students advanced standing and academic credit for Cambridge AICE Diploma examinations passed.
The Cambridge portfolio of advanced qualifications offers a wide range of subject choice to students preparing for further study or progression to employment.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma involves the selection of subjects from three curriculum areas – Mathematics and Science; Languages; Arts and Humanities from a wide range of subjects available at International Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level and Advanced (A) Level.
An A Level would count as a double-credit qualification and an AS Level as a full (single) credit course within the Cambridge AICE Diploma award framework. To be considered for an AICE Diploma, a candidate must earn the equivalent of six credits by passing a combination of examinations at either the full (1 credit) AS Level or double (2 credits) A Level, with at least one course coming from each of the three curriculum areas. The examinations are administered in May/June and October/November sessions each year. A candidate working towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma may use up to five sessions to take the equivalent of six full credit examinations as long as they are taken within a 25-month period.
The subject content of each A Level syllabus has been subdivided into two parts: the AS syllabus content which is expected to be covered in the first half of the course, and part 2 of the syllabus, commonly referred to as A2. This flexible approach enables students to choose between three main options:
An A Level course is probably the most in-depth and thorough preparation for university, medical college or employment that a school can give its students.
For AS examinations, candidates are graded on an alphabetical scale, A to E, with grade A indicating a top level of performance and grade E indicating a minimum passing grade. For A Level examinations, candidates are graded on an alphabetical scale, A* to E, with grade A* indicating a top level of performance and grade E indicating a minimum passing grade. The results for examinations are sent to schools, in the form of a Statement of Results, in the middle of August for candidates who have taken the examinations in June. The results for the November examinations are sent to schools in late January. Certificates for successful candidates are normally sent to schools after the end of the results enquiry period.
The AICE Diploma requires the study of subjects drawn from three curriculum areas. These three broad areas are:
To obtain an AICE Diploma, candidates will be required:
Candidates are allowed to accumulate the results to be used over more than one examination session. However:
Performance that meets the requirements of the group award will receive the Cambridge AICE Diploma. The statement of results will show the grades achieved by the student in each of the subjects taken in the final session, as well as the overall level of achievement and points earned in the group award.
Candidates who achieve ADIP in one session will receive an ADIP Statement of Results, a GCE Certificate showing the grades achieved in individual subjects and a separate ADIP Certificate.
As GCE AS and A Level subjects are used to calculate the AICE Diploma, the AICE Diploma results will be issued with the GCE results.
Candidates who fail the AICE Diploma will still receive a GCE Certificate reporting their performance in GCE AS and A Level syllabuses.
Multi-session candidates, at the end of each session, will receive a GCE Statement of Result and Certificate where applicable and will be certificated for the AICE Diploma at the end of the final session.
The full AICE Diploma is awarded on the basis of a points system, as shown in the table below.
Double–Credit Study | Full–Credit Study | ||
Grade | Points | Grade | Points |
A* | 140 | A* | n/a |
Note: The Cambridge AICE Diploma tariff has been calculated to bring it into line with the UK University Admission points score for A Levels and the AS qualification.
The full AICE Diploma will be awarded on the basis of the following points system:
The following combinations are therefore all valid:
A Level (2 credits each) | AS Level (1 credit each) |
3 | 0 |
2 | 2 |
1 | 4 |
0 | 6 |
Candidates who meet the requirements of the group award will receive a AICE Diploma at one of three levels: Pass, Merit or Distinction on the basis of their overall AICE Diploma score, see below.
140 points will be awarded for an A* but the maximum number of AICE Diploma points will be capped at 360.
Cambridge AICE Diploma with Distinction awarded to candidates with a score in the range: 320-360 points
Cambridge AICE Diploma with Merit awarded to candidates with a score in the range: 220–319 points
Cambridge AICE Diploma at Pass Level awarded to candidates with a score in the range: 120–219 points
Candidates who do not meet the requirements of the AICE Diploma will receive a GCE Certificate reporting their performance in GCE AS and A Level syllabuses.
Before teachers embark on a Cambridge International AS or A Level course, it is essential that they obtain the relevant syllabus booklet and that they study past papers and the reports that are produced by our examiners on those papers. Most of the June and November papers and reports for the previous two years are available for teachers on the Teacher Support website. Single copies of such support materials and other useful documents are normally distributed to schools free of charge. Order Publications...

Baby Kahara Frog - $7.29
The Baby Kahara Frog fills the need for a miniature-sized frog. Despite its diminutive stature, it still makes quite an impact when it comes to catching bass. This realistic looking and feeling amphibian comes equipped with an internal stainless rattle to call additional attention, and its precisely designed body allows it to slide flawlessly over and through the thickest of weeds. Its rear weight is made out of an environmentally safe zinc plate, providing long distance casting capability and also preventing it from landing upside down. Walking the Baby Kahara Frog in open water is also extremely easy, and its super soft silicone legs provide additional appeal when at rest. There is also a 0.8mm connecting eye at the rear of the bait for the anglers who like to add blade modifications. Small on size, big on bass, the Baby Kahara Frog makes for an easy meal and a solid fish catcher. Also comes equipped with a super sharp Japanese-engineered #3 double hook.
Kahara | Length | Weight |
Baby Frog | 1-3/4" | 1/4oz |
Comments: Best frog on market if you ask me great hook sets

Chef stays true to red, white and blue
Perfect Dinner Chef John Lane likes to makes red, white and blue foods in honor of Memorial Day. | Tamara Bell~Sun Times Media
Red, White and Blue Pulled Barbecue Pork

To cook pork: Trim the pork, leaving some fat for flavor, but removing most of it. Cut trimmed pork into 1-inch to 2-inch pieces (cubes). Place trimmed and cubed pork in a deep casserole dish, or slow cooker, and add all the braising ingredients: barbecue sauce, barbecue spice, water, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook in an oven for at 325 degrees for 4-5 hours.
While pork is in oven, cook blueberries in small sauce pot, cook five minutes, and then transfer to a blender, purée and set aside.
Drain excess water from cabbage, and place in bowl. Add blue cheese, cream, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion, and toss. Set aside.
Remove pork from oven and allow it to cool. When cool, begin to pull it. Pull all of the meat, and toss it with 2-3 more cups barbecue sauce, coating evenly.
To serve, put pulled pork on a roll, or place (red) top with handful of coleslaw (white) and drizzle with fresh blueberry sauce (blue).
Makes 8-10 servings.

When the American flag flies proudly on days like Memorial Day, Chef John Lane weaves the nation's favorite color combination into many of the foods he makes.
For his Memorial Day weekend menu at The Perfect Dinner in Oak Park, Lane will make plenty of pies and tarts colored by fresh red raspberries, blueberries and white cream cheese mousse. But he'll also make something more out of the ordinary for the special day: red, white and blue pulled barbecue pork sandwiches.
Patriotic eats
"Memorial Day is a super American holiday," Lane said. "Hard-working people are given a chance to relax and enjoy family, friends, great food and this wonderful country in which we live. It's absolutely very important to acknowledge the day by making special foods."
Blueberries bring the blue to Lane's pork sandwiches. He makes a sauce out of fresh blueberries to drizzle on top of the pork. "While the sauce adds a nice tang to the pork, the natural sweetness of the fruit also clashes very well with the flavor of the barbecue sauce," Lane said.
He tops the red-colored pork meat with white-colored, blue cheese coleslaw. "The creaminess of the blue cheese with the crunch of the coleslaw is delicious," he said.
For a red, white and blue dessert, Lane, an Oak Park resident, makes fresh berry pies and tarts. The Perfect Dinner, which offers prepared meals for carry-out and also recently started catering meals, gets berries from Scotch Hill Farm in Brodhead, Wisc.
"The berries are very fresh, hand-picked and taste much better than store-bought," Lane said.
Memorial Day was inspired by the aftermath of the American Civil War. Communities across the U.S. had annually been honoring fallen Civil War soldiers since the war ended. One of those towns, Waterloo, N.Y., is considered the official birthplace of Memorial Day.
The yearly celebrations in Waterloo and other small towns encouraged a larger, national observance. On May 30, 1868, tens of thousands of fallen Union and Confederate soldiers, many of whom had fought against one another during the war, were honored collectively when their graves were decorated with flowers and U.S. flags at Arlington National Cemetery.
Memorial for all
Decoration Day, as it was originally called, became known as Memorial Day in 1882. After World War I, Memorial Day became a day to remember fallen U.S. soldiers from all wars.
In 1967, Memorial Day became an official federal holiday, allowing average Americans more time to reflect on the sacrifices of U.S. soldiers. The day has also become a time for families to spend together, and much of that time is spent over backyard barbecues.
In honor of Memorial Day, The Perfect Dinner will be closed Monday. Lane will spend the day with his family at their new lake house in Michigan. "I'll be spending a fun weekend with all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, brother and parents on the lake, having a fantastic barbecue," he said. "I'll just enjoy the people I get to spend time with. It doesn't get any better than that."
Red, White and Blue Fresh Berry Tarts
From Chef John Lane, The Perfect Dinner
2 cups cream cheese 1 cup cream 1 cup powdered sugar 3 tablespoons blueberries 3 tablespoons raspberries 3 tablespoons blackberries ¼ cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
Slowly add cream and vanilla while mixture is beating at medium speed. Beat until volume has doubled and is nice and light. Set mixture aside.
In small pot on stove, cook berries with ¼ cup sugar for five minutes, until they are broken down and soft. Let berries cool. Once fruit is chilled, strain liquid, and then gently fold berries into cream cheese mousse.
To finish, pipe filling into store-bought or homemade tart or pie shells. Garnish with a few berries and a mint leaf.
Makes two tarts.

Sara: Please more Demi Lovato! <3
Rachel: A lot of Cher's pieces she wears are very unique and therefore have nothing similar, I do post cheaper alternatives when I can find them, just some things are so unique they don't have anything else like it for cheaper.
Maria: You should really do G. Hanneluis! I love her sooooo much and she has a great sense of style!!!!! Please do G!!!!
jay: emily - that's kind of endorsing the idea that miley's against, if you think about it. she promotes an image of doing what she wants because it makes her happy, so i don't think she'll regret anything she does. if anything, i believe she's setting a very good example for young girls. she's showing that you don't need to follow any set of rules other people have tried to force you to follow. if you want to get a tattoo that means something to you, get it. if you are in love, than be in love. this "crap" is merely self expression for her. it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Emily: I love her tats but really? She's engaged at age 19 AND has 21 tats! I mean, she is supposed to be an inspiration for young girls and it sucks that she is rushing SO much to grow up! I love her but I think she is going to regret all of this crap!
nilofar: i love Miley Cyrus
Linda: yeah we have too many celebs on the site to list them all (around 200). But a lot of people have thought the ones in the footer are the only people on the site so I should probably change it to make that clearer.
mixer 4 life: ohh thanks linda lol i thought the only celebs you had were at the bottom of the page but then i found all the rest of them thanks soo much!!!
Alanna: The people or person who post Cher Lloyd outfits don't post the clothing pieces that are alike what she's wearing for cheap. They put the original instead which is around $689 or HIG-PRICED.
Linda: but you reminded me that the menu was a bit out of date. I added in Becky G and some of the other newer celebs.

The royal jewels are on full display once again.
The royal jewels are on full display once again.
Hot on the heels of Prince Harry's booty-baring Vegas flesh fest, topless photos of Kate Middleton have now surfaced, casting an embarrassing light on Prince William's poised and—until now—scandal-free wife.
The photos were published Friday by French magazine Closer and were reportedly taken while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on vacation in Provence in France at a chateau owned by Queen Elizabeth II's nephew, Lord Linley.
The photos show Will and Kate sunning themselves on a patio, with the duchess initially wearing a two-piece, black-and-white strapless bikini. At one point, Kate removes her top and sunbathes in the buff. She also later applies sunscreen to Will while still topless.
The images have infuriated the royal family, who've condemned the "grotesque" invasion of privacy that they say recalls "the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana."
"Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner," St. James Palace said in a statement to E! News.

Stem cells and asymmetric cell division
Stem cells have the unique ability to divide asymmetrically and generate both self-renewing and differentiating daughter cells. In the Knoblich lab, we use Drosophila and mouse genetics to identify the molecular mechanisms that control asymmetric cell division and allow cells to create daughter cells of such dramatically different properties.
In Drosophila, asymmetric cell divisions are established via the segregation of cell fate determinants into only one of the two daughter cells and identifying the mechanism of this polarized segregation has been a key focus of the lab. Defects in asymmetric cell division can lead to the formation of transplantable tumors in flies and understanding the mechanism of stem cell derived tumor formation is a more recent goal. For this, we use in vivo transgenic RNAi to analyze stem cell self renewal on a genome-wide level and apply in-utero electroporation to study homologs of the identified genes in vertebrate neural stem cells. -

A bi-annual federal survey just released by the Center for Disease Control reveals that Hispanic high school students use drugs and attempt suicide at higher rates than black and white students. Furthermore, while rates of sexual activity are on the decline for black and white students, there is no decline for Hispanic students.
"It's disheartening that we aren't seeing progress among Hispanic teens for certain risk factors," said Howell Wechsler, the director of the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health.

Bali: Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Closed)
Dialogue of Civilizations | Bali, Cameroon
Faculty Leaders: Richard Harris (email@example.com) and William Tita (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (email@example.com)
Information Session: Monday, November 5th, 6:30-7:30 CSC Indoor Quad
Summer I
Courses: Engineering Innovation Discovery (course number TBA) & INTL4944: Dialogues in Social Sciences – Business and Modern African Economy
What is the Dialogue of Innovation?: Identifying problems, societal needs, and developing engineering innovation solutions, through student engagement, between Cameroon Christian University and Northeastern University.
This program will seek to help students develop and/or implement field projects that will focus on local, national and international opportunities that promote advances in science and technology which may improve the quality of life in unique communities. This effort will provide students with the opportunity to innovate and develop problem-solving ideas in an effort to make a positive difference through an entrepreneurial spirit. The 'Dialogue of Innovation' will be implemented using the Jola Venture, Inc. "model" for: (1) social innovation (making a positive difference in the world), (2) technological innovation (engineering problem-solving solutions) and (3) entrepreneurship (business development) to address these societal needs. The classroom seminar and experiential activity will enable students to engage in both a theoretical analysis and practical examination of the field of engineering and technology in helping to address the question of alleviating extreme technological under-development in developing countries.
Engaging with the Local Community: Students will reside on Cameroon Christian University campus and be part of the community. Students will visit different sites to conduct field work in both area villages and cities. Students will identify societal needs based on field work experience. Students will participate on local excursions to expose them to different areas to understand both the challenges and the opportunities for innovation.Dr. Tita will work with the College of Engineering to provide the overall leadership for this project as an expert in economics and social policy in Africa, given his educational, entrepreneurial and UNDP background, as a member of NU entrepreneurship faculty as well as his longstanding leadership in support of economic development in Cameroon and its various villages, notably, Bali and Mbengwi. In Cameroon, the excellence of the Cameroon Christian University (CCU) as an academic institution and the outstanding reputation of Professor Emmanuel N. Chia, its leader and, respectively, the department chairs and faculty of the engineering and management departments, for their work as academics in the study of poverty and strategies for poverty alleviation in Africa argue well for the selection of Cameroon as a destination of choice for the implementation of the Dialogue of Innovation concept.

Faculty Leader: Denise Horn (email@example.com)
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Summer I
Courses: INTL 4944 DOC: Regional Engagement & INTL4940 Global Corps Practicum
The Global Corps Practicum gives Northeastern and Balinese students the opportunity to participate in an intensive practicum on global civil society in an international setting. We will cover the essentials of global citizenship, social entrepreneurship, and NGO development to respond to local and global problems.
The NU Global Corps Practicum trains students in the burgeoning field of social entrepreneurship, which uses community development and business models to tackle social problems, whether through creating and disseminating new technologies or encouraging the growth of micro-enterprises and micro-finance; the point is to use community development and business principles but emphasize social impact over profit. Our program teaches students to use these principles in the hopes of creating sustainable projects grounded in social justice.
Northeastern students will spend the first week in Ubud, Bali in a cultural immersion program, where they will experience Bali's unique art, music, spiritual and political culture. They will then spend three days in homestays in the village of Sudaji, site of an innovative eco-friendly community model of cultural preservation. Afterwards, we will move to the Northern Balinese city of Singaraja where Northeastern students and their Balinese peers from Ganesha University will participate in a four week workshop on social entrepreneurship. At the end of the four-week training in Singaraja, students' project proposals will be presented to local organizations and their partners who will choose one or two of the projects that could be implemented successfully in Singaraja and the surrounding communities. The ultimate goal is to empower both Balinese and Northeastern students to identify creative solutions to pressing problems and to offer fresh new ideas for local organizations.

This faculty-led program offers students immersion into some of the world's most dynamic, diverse and growing cities in Brazil: Belo Horizonte, also known as the Garden City and Brazil's third largest city. You also will have the opportunity to visit other cities in Brazil.
This academic program offers students immersion into one of the world's most dynamic, diverse, and growing populations of Brazil. The program is hosted by two well-respected institutions: 1) the top-ranked UNA University and 2) the Cultural Institute Brazil United States (ICBEU). The host university, UNA University, is a vibrant and innovative institution of higher education and is considered the best private university center in the state of Minas Gerais. Students will relate well to UNA University as it shares a similar profile to that Northeastern University, which aims to prepare students for life-long learning in a global marketplace.
Students will participate in two classes at ICBEU's and UNA's centrally located campuses around the Savassi district of Belo Horizonte, which provides quick access to many historical and cultural points of the city. Students will study the global context of the Portuguese language. Also, students will study the social, economic, and political dimensions of the urbanization of Brazil's first planned city, Belo Horizonte—a large city of 2.5 million residents in a metropolitan region of nearly 6 million. With an urban plan inspired by L'enfant's Washington, DC, Belo Horizonte boasts large promenades lined with some of the most arresting architecture in South America. This urbanization has attracted some of the leading technology companies in the world, like Google and Fiat as well as hosting the FIFA World Cup. Participants in the Dialogue will have an opportunity to meet and exchanges ideas with leading government officials, policymakers, economic developers, industrial giants, and cultural experts.
The cultural immersion is furthered through academic exchange with students at UNA University. The academic program will be complemented by numerous guided excursions, including an excursion to historical Ouro Preto, Tiradentes and other important satellite cities in Brazil, in which students will have the opportunity to compare and contrast the facets of a planned city such as Belo Horizonte, a historical city of gold such as Ouro Preto to the fascinating urban spaces. Students will also engage in lectures, and field visits with scholarly authorities and local leaders.
At the end of the program, students will have had the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with people from many diverse backgrounds, and thus gain exposure to a wide spectrum of Brazilian society and Brazil's place in the global community. Ultimately, students will return home with a new knowledge of the how the "old" and "new" Brazil compare and contrast. Students will reflect on the new global directions of Brazil. The course introduces students to the dimensions of globalization, and its influences on the Brazil we know today. Students will learn about how Belo Horizonte grew as a planned urban center and industrial and technological hub. They will also learn several aspects of business and economy related to the new economic developments in Brazil. Visits to institutions, organizations and dialogues with locals and leaders will give the students the opportunity to evaluate the influences, developments, and perspectives for a global Brazil in the 21st century. The language tool and the knowledge of the politics of globalization will set the context for this learning experience.

Course Description:
- INTL 4945 Dialogue of Civilizations: Global Issues in Comparative Perspective
- POLS 4938 International Politics - Learning Abroad
The Geneva Dialogue on Disarmament Diplomacy and Humanitarian Action was founded in 2007 at Northeastern University by Assistant Professor Denise Garcia of Political Science and International Affairs. The Dialogue takes places in Geneva, Switzerland at the European Headquarters of the United Nations and exposes students to a high level practice of real life diplomacy and negotiation of key international political issues related to disarmament and humanitarian action. This is also a fantastic opportunity for students to utilize skills of networking for possible future professional prospects.
Students will spend a month at the United Nations, interacting with diplomats and negotiators from several countries, as well as United Nations personnel, non-governmental organizations, researchers, academics, and students from around the world. They will learn about world politics in action and how international cooperation occurs in the making of new international treaties and initiatives to address some of the most pressing problems humanity faces today. Since the beginning of Dialogue, several co-op opportunities began with at least five students in co-op at a time per semester in Geneva and beyond.
The focus of this Dialogue is on pressing issues of disarmament, arms control, international humanitarian law, and international security. Beyond lectures, there are active and hands-on activities such as debates, role playing, visits, and discussion. This is an extraordinary and unique opportunity afforded only to Northeastern University students. There is no other university in the world that offers the same elaborate month-long opportunity at the United Nations.
Professor Garcia is the author of pioneer research on this area: Small Arms and Security - New Emerging International Norms, Routledge 2006/Reprinted 2009 and Disarmament Diplomacy and Human Security - Norms, Regimes, and Moral Progress in International Relations, Routledge 2011. She continues to pursue a research agenda in the emerging norms in international diplomacy regarding disarmament topics and is enthusiastic to share this expertise with her students throughout their time in Switzerland.

Iceland: Field Study of Volcanic and Glacial Processes (Closed)
Dialogue of Civilizations | , Iceland
Faculty Leader: Mal Hill (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Study Abroad Coordinator: Daisy Biddle (email@example.com)
Courses: ENVR 5201 Geologic Field Seminar and (Course number TBA) Geologic Field Seminar 2
Iceland's location on an active plate boundary (the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and its location near the Arctic Circle makes it a great destination for environmental field study of young lava flows and volcanoes; older, uplifted and more deeply eroded rocks to the east and west sides of the active rifts; and study of both modern and ancient glacial processes. Volcanic landforms and eruption styles differ, depending on whether magma erupts on land, beneath the ice, or flows into water, and we study examples that formed in each environment. Glaciers erode the landscape, transport and deposit sediments, and melt gradually to form rivers (much of Iceland's electricity derives from hydropower). Sometimes, when lava erupts beneath a glacier, rapid melting of the base of the glacier forms disruptive, magma-induced floods (known as jökulhlaup). In addition to focusing separately on volcanic and glacial processes, we will consider the ways that magma and groundwater interact to create geothermal energy; how magma and glaciers interact; and how Icelandic society is influenced by these and other environmental factors. This is a field-based experience, and most days involve some or much hiking to get to and from the study area for that day. We spend most nights in tents in campgrounds, and Iceland is known for having occasionally windy and rainy weather. Interested students can contact Mal Hill (firstname.lastname@example.com) in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences for additional information.
Istanbul, Turkey and Berlin, Germany – Diaspora and Urban Studies in Europe and the Middle East (Closed)

This program will provide students with an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the contrasting issues surrounding the Turkish migrant population in Berlin, Germany, and the counter understanding of these immigration issues from Istanbul. The second part of the program will extend to Istanbul, the largest metropolitan area in Turkey.
In both cities, our focus will remain on socio-political contestation in urban space over religion, gender, class and possibly ethnicity. Put differently, we will explore how urban space, specifically neighborhood, is contested by ordinary people, who differ and/or disagree over religion, gender and class? Students will read an exciting literature and be encouraged to ask questions about neighborhood politics. In what ways and why are urban space and political processes intimately mapped onto each other? Under what conditions and why does it become difficult to share the city and/or a particular neighborhood? What are the similarities and differences between minority/diaspora neighborhoods (such as Kreuzberg Germany and Tesvikiye in Istanbul) and less contested homogeneous urban space? What role does gentrification play in all of this urban politics?

An ancient culture with an ancient language, ancient cities and ancient customs, and yet it all seamlessly bleeds with the most modern and advanced reality. Or does it? Here is a chance to discover the answer by yourself, be it in a classroom, be it while sipping an espresso at the corner café while people watching.
This dialogue is essentially an opportunity for students to receive a full immersion in a culture format other than their own. It is a chance for them to realize that different people solve, in different ways, similar and common problems to their own, and in so doing, reach new and exciting solution.
If you want to: learn Italian language in the most effective way with a culture immersion program and Italian faculty; study key issues in contemporary Italian culture, society and politics, including the media, immigration, regionalism and others; explore from a historical, anthropological and cultural point of view the unique, complex reality of Italian cities; discover the real Italy in locations away from major tourist sites; acquire an indispensable skill in a global world, facilitating your ability to communicate with others, and improving your potential for success in your chosen field.

The theme of the program is dialogue, not just in language but the dialogue between history and geography, culture and tradition, as well as your own experiences and your experiences in Russia.
In just 35 days the students will experience a whirlwind exploration of the Russian Empire, Soviet Union and modern Eastern Europe through hands on study and exploration of these three historic capitals of Russian civilization.
Students will receive some pre-departure online tasks like readings (including reflections in a diary/blog), during the in-country stay they will have daily field-trip to get familiar with Russian culture and life.

During the program we will visit four of the major cities in Spain: Madrid, Seville, Barcelona and Granada. We will arrive in Madrid on May 9th and spend the first four days there. In Madrid we will experience life in one of the biggest and most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. We will visit the Museo Reina Sofia, El Prado, the Royal Palace, we will get to see a play in a very old Theatre and wander around the famous El Rastro flea market.
After Madrid we will travel to Seville by AVE (high-speed train) to start classes on May 13th. We will spend most of the next four weeks here. Seville is the capital of the southern region of Andalucia and the third largest city in Spain. It is an easy city to get around and all the major historical and culture sites, as well as the student accommodation and the school are within walking distance. The program will be based here and it will give you the opportunity to feel more like a local instead of a tourist. Sevillanos (The people of Seville) are known as being friendly and good humored. The climate is warm and sunny and the pace of life very relaxed. Seville is a city that keeps alive the spirit of its traditions, an explosion of colors and sensations, a city where contrasts between the modern and the tradition are everywhere. Here you will be able to experience Flamenco dancing and music, horse shows, bullfighting, tapas and the traditional fiestas.
While in Sevilla, for the next four weeks of the program, students will be taking language classes (grammar and conversation) in small groups (8-10 students per class) Monday to Friday 9:15am until 1pm. Classes will take place at Clic International House Sevilla. In between classes you will get to experience the tradition of "siestas". Spaniards like to relax and enjoy time with their families during lunchtime (1- 4pm), with a nap when possible, during the warmest part of the day and while most shops and establishments are closed. The culture course will be taking place in the afternoon. After your break or "siesta" 3 days a week for a few hours each afternoon. There will also be different cultural events and activities organized like cooking lessons and Flamenco workshops.
The Spanish Culture course will deal with history, politics, social factors, cultural life and pop culture in Spain from 1936 until present. It will cover the civil war (1936-1939) and the process of transition to democracy that followed Franco's death in 1975. It will also examine the new freedom from censorship after Franco died, the new cinema and the radical changes and modernization in values, family, sex and religion that occurred after the restoration of democracy.
During the program we will also fly to Barcelona where we will spend four days (May 23rd-26th ). In Barcelona, we will have the opportunity to see Antoni Gaudí´s architecture, visit some of his buildings like Sagrada Familia, a Cathedral which has been in construction since 1882 and walk around the beautiful parque Guell.
The last four days of the program we will be based in Granada. We will visit sites, museums and a family-run Rum factory in Salobreña managed by an ex-Northeastern BSIB student. During our stay in Granada, we will visit the coast and experience life in a beautiful city full of history and culture.
