Interactive Symmetry Activities
Here you'll find games that practice symmetry concepts, including rotational symmetry, lines of symmetry, reflection, mirror lines, and congruence.
They all combine visual representations and easy-to-follow tutorials for each component. This method is perfect for more abstract concepts of mathematics like this one, which may be difficult to understand without visualization.
Students can set their own pace, as most of the games are not timed and there is no pressure on them to complete the tests. If they're struggling with the concepts of a game or if it's not explaining the lessons in a manner the student understands, they can try a different one.
This gives them an easy learning environment where they can excel at learning concepts in mathematics. Perfect for grades 2-4!
Practice Horizontal & Vertical Symmetry Lines
Lines Of Symmetry
Start by choosing the type of line to practice: Horizontal, vertical or both. Then click the "New Figure" Button.
For every shape that appears, drag the line of symmetry to the location where it bisects the shape into two identical reflective halfs.
Listen to the feedback sound, to know whether you were correct and precise.
Click the "New Figure" button to practice another shape.
Interactive Rotational Symmetry Activity

Nifty in 4800-4950 range this week, buy on dips: Sukhani
Technical analyst Sudarshan Sukhani of s2analytics.com has a mildly bullish stance on Nifty and expects it to be in the trading range of 4,800-4,950 for the entire week. Within this trading range one should look to buy dips, he suggests.
Sudarshan Sukhani (more)
Technical Analyst, s2analytics.com | Capital Expertise: Equity - Technical
Below is the edited transcript of Sukhani's interview with CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.
Q: What is the trading call for the Nifty at the start of this week?
A: I am mildly bullish. The Nifty is in a trading range so a trading range can go either ways and in fact it need not go anywhere. We can still remain in 4,800 and 4,950 for the entire week. That is a possibility. Within this trading range I would look to buy dips, which seems an easier trade to take including today.
So today there is a mild bullish bias. Unless something happens I expect this week to continue in the same fashion. It does appear that 4,700-4,800 support zone is fairly strong even if it is going to break it won't do that so easily and it may not break at all.
Q: Exide is in your buy list today?
A: Exide has been in some kind of a bear market of its own, that seems to be getting over. On Friday we saw a sharp rally in Exide and that rally came on the back of a trading range that was continuing for almost three weeks. So there was a big decline, a trading range that trading range has proved to be accumulation. I think Exide now is going to see follow-through on the gains it saw on Friday and probably is turning around. We are seeing a reversal of trend in Exide and that's interesting for bulls.
Q: You like the chart of LIC Housing Finance as well?
A: LIC Housing Finance is giving same pattern; after a minor decline, so the corrections were shallow and that tells us that the stock has lot of intrinsic strength technically. Then we had a trading range where the corrections ended. Now LIC Housing is on the verge of breaking out of the range. It hasn't done so but internals inside the range suggests it's a matter of time before it moves up. So it's a good buy at this current level.
There is a modest target of Rs 250 but once Rs 250 is touched and after it is crossed we could see new highs. It's something traders should be long in.
Q: You are selling HPCL this morning?
A: Yes, it is a little surprising why Hindustan Petrol's charts are so different from BPCL . HPCL never really saw that handsome rally that BPCL went through maybe because of oil interests or whatever. Now it's turning around. It has been in a consolidation, that consolidation seems to be breaking down. So this is one stock, at least for an intraday trade its worth looking and going short in. I don't know about big position but for a couple of days it's a shorting idea.
Q: How about something like Jet Airways ?
A:Jet Airways is in a bear market. It does appear that the uptrend is over. But we saw a rally from Rs 280 to Rs 320-330 recently. That rally was probably an upward flag which is continuation of a downtrend. So a final visit to Rs 280 or even lower is possible in Jet, although that doesn't have to come today because today, the targets are much more modest around Rs 300-302. But eventually even a break to Rs 280 and even a breakdown is possible.
Q: You have picked Sobha Developers from real estate space as a weak chart?
A: Yes it is relatively weak in two senses. Independently, it's broken below Rs 300 and second, when we compare it to other real estate peers like DLF , Indiabulls Real Estate , it is underperforming. So Sobha Developers is a short-term sell, it is probably an intraday sell. Sell on rallies, wait patiently and cover in the evening. For intraday traders there some points to be made, not just today but for a number of days.
Q: DCB from banking space that is a buy today?
A: DCB is a buy. It has fallen from Rs 50 to Rs 38. At Rs 38, it started building a small base and now it is just breaking out of that base. So it does appear that DCB's decline, the bear market which we saw in it is probably getting over. These are reversal pattern that suggests that a trend change is in the offing. If it works out there will be significantly bigger gains here. But here at this point we are looking at Rs 41- 42 and even that is good in terms of percentages.

Contacts | Program of Study | Program Requirements | Summary of Requirements for Students Meeting the Writing Requirement with a Long Paper | Summary of Requirements for Students Meeting the Writing Requirement with a BA Thesis | Courses
Department Website: http://political-science.uchicago.edu
Program of Study
Political science is the study of governments, public policies, political processes, political behavior, and ideas about government and politics. Political scientists use both humanistic and scientific perspectives and a variety of methodological approaches to examine the political dynamics of all countries and regions of the world, both ancient and modern. Political science contributes to a liberal education by introducing students to concepts, methods, and knowledge that help them understand and judge politics within and among nations. A BA degree in political science can lead to a career in business, government, journalism, education, or nonprofit organizations; or it can lead to a PhD program in the social sciences or to professional school in law, business, public policy, or international relations. Our graduates have gone into all those areas in recent years.
Program Requirements
NOTE: In 2015, the Department of Political Science faculty decided to require that at least nine of the twelve courses required for the major must be Political Science courses. The change applies to the Class of 2018 and later.
Starting in the 2016–17 academic year, the department has also abolished the list of "pre-approved" petition courses. No course outside of Political Science taken in Summer 2016 or later will be automatically counted for the major; all must be petitioned to the department. Inclusion on the now-defunct pre-approved list does not guarantee future approval.
Course Requirements
The Political Science major requires twelve political science courses and a substantial paper. All students must take three out of the four courses that introduce the fields of political science. All students must also take the required research methods course. Students may meet the writing requirement by completing a BA Thesis or by writing a Long Paper. The BA Thesis and Long Paper options are explained below.
Introductory Course Requirement
To gain a broad understanding of political science, the department's faculty thinks students should take a wide range of courses. To ensure that breadth, students are required to take at least three of the following four courses:
PLSC 28701 Introduction to Political Theory
PLSC 28801 Introduction to American Politics
PLSC 28901 Introduction to Comparative Politics
PLSC 29000 Introduction to International Relations
Each course will be offered every year, introducing students to the four principal areas of study in political science. The introductory courses must be taken for quality grades.
Research Methods Requirement
To prepare students to evaluate the materials in their classes and to write research papers, students are also required to take the department's research methods course, which will be offered every quarter:
PLSC 22913 The Practice of Social Science Research
The department also strongly recommends, but does not require, a course in statistics.
Political Science Course Requirement
In addition to the above requirements, students are required to take six to eight Political Science courses of their choosing in order to develop their interests in and knowledge of the field. Those following the Long Paper path, described below, must complete eight courses while those on the BA Thesis path must complete at least six. It may be appropriate for advanced students to pursue an independent study credit (see below). Courses outside Political Science may be considered for the major only by petition to the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Writing Requirement: Two Options
Students who are majoring in political science must write at least one substantial paper. There are two ways to meet this requirement, by writing a BA Thesis or by submitting a Long Paper.
Option 1: Long Paper
The Long Paper is typically a course paper. It may be written for either a professor in Political Science, a professor in another department whose course is accepted for Political Science credit, or for an advanced graduate student who teaches courses in the Department of Political Science. Students who write a Long Paper are not required to write a BA Thesis. Students submitting a Long Paper must bring an approval form to the departmental office signed by an instructor who verifies that the paper meets two requirements: (a) the paper is twenty pages or longer, double-spaced (that is, approximately 5,000 words or longer); and (b) the paper received a grade of B or better (that is, a grade of B- or below does not meet the requirement).
The Long Paper might be:
- A class paper for any course used to meet the major's requirements.
- An extended version of a shorter paper written for a course. If a course requires a shorter paper, students may ask the instructor for permission to write a twenty-page paper instead.
- Written for a course that did not require any papers. Students may ask the instructor for permission to write a twenty-page paper, either in place of another assignment, as an extra assignment, or as an ungraded assignment.
- Written for a Political Science instructor after a course is completed. The student could either produce an entirely new paper or, with the instructor's permission, take a shorter assignment and turn it into a longer paper.
If the paper is not a graded assignment for class, it still meets the department's requirement if the instructor attests that it merits a grade of B or better. Unless the paper is written for a graded class assignment, students must ask the instructor's permission to submit any such paper.
Students are responsible for obtaining an approval form to verify the successful completion of the Long Paper from the department office and giving it to the relevant instructor. Please ask the instructor to sign the approval form and return it to the departmental office. The deadline for submitting the approval form and the paper is 4 p.m. on Friday of the second week of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Students should complete their paper before their final quarter; the approval form should be submitted to the departmental office as soon as the writing requirement is completed.
Option 2: BA Thesis
Writing a BA Thesis will meet the writing requirement in Political Science and may also qualify a student for consideration for honors; see sections below for more information. In either case, the paper is typically from thirty-five to fifty pages in length (the length of most scholarly articles in professional journals). It must receive a grade of B or higher. Students choose a suitable faculty member to supervise the research and writing. The deadline for submitting two copies of a BA Thesis to the departmental office is 4 p.m. on Friday of the fourth week of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate.
BA Colloquium. Students who choose to write a BA Thesis are required to enroll in PLSC 29800 BA Colloquium in the Spring Quarter of the third year and continue to attend the BA Colloquium in the Autumn Quarter of their fourth year. The colloquium is designed to help students carry out their BA Thesis research and to offer feedback on their progress. Although the course meets over two quarters, it counts as a single course and has a single grade. The final grade for the colloquium is based on the student's contribution to the colloquium during both quarters. Students who write a BA Thesis must also enroll in PLSC 29900 BA Thesis Supervision for one quarter, normally Winter Quarter of fourth year (although enrollment may be in any quarter).
A few students each year study abroad in the Spring Quarter of third year or in the Autumn Quarter of the fourth year and also intend to complete the Political Science major by writing a BA Thesis. Students who study abroad in the Spring Quarter are not required to enroll in the BA Colloquium in the Spring Quarter, but are expected to enroll and participate in the BA Colloquium in the Autumn Quarter. Students who study abroad in the Autumn Quarter must enroll in the BA Colloquium in the previous Spring Quarter, but are not required to participate in the Autumn Quarter.
All students who intend to write a BA thesis must submit a proposal for the thesis by the end of Spring Quarter, regardless of residency. Students who are away from campus in the Spring Quarter should line up an adviser and discuss ideas about a thesis topic while they are abroad or even during the Winter Quarter before departure. The department has arranged the BA Thesis process so that students arrive back on campus for fourth year ready to execute the research for the thesis in the Autumn Quarter, rather than compressing research and writing both into the Winter Quarter. Students who will be abroad in Spring Quarter and unable to participate in the Spring BA Colloquium should contact the department's Undergraduate Studies office during the Winter Quarter to receive instructions about the preparations they should expect to make while they are away.
BA Thesis Supervision. During their fourth year, students who choose to write a BA Thesis must register with their BA Thesis faculty adviser for one quarter of PLSC 29900 BA Thesis Supervision. Students may also elect to take a second quarter of PLSC 29900 BA Thesis Supervision, which will count toward the twelve required courses. To enroll, students are required to submit the College Reading and Research Course Form, which is available from the College advisers. The final grade for the course will be based on the grade given the BA Thesis by the faculty adviser. Although most BA Theses are supervised by Political Science professors, the adviser need not be a member of the Department of Political Science.

Pass/Fail Courses
Courses that meet requirements for the major are normally taken for quality grades. The three required introductory courses must be taken for quality grades. However, students may take up to two courses on a P/F basis with the prior consent of the instructor.
Independent Study
Students with extensive course work in Political Science who wish to pursue more specialized topics that are not covered by regular courses have the option of registering for PLSC 29700 Independent Study, to be taken individually and supervised by a member of the Political Science faculty. Students must obtain the prior consent of the program director and the instructor, as well as submit the College Reading and Research Course Form that is available from their College adviser. The substance of the independent study may not be related to the BA Thesis or BA research, which is covered by PLSC 29900 BA Thesis Supervision. Only one PLSC 29700 Independent Study course may count toward requirements for the major.
Honors in the Major
Students who do exceptionally well in their course work and who write an outstanding BA Thesis are recommended for honors in the major. A student is eligible for honors if the GPA in the major is 3.6 or higher and the overall GPA is 3.0 or higher at the beginning of the quarter in which the student intends to graduate. Students who wish to be considered for honors are required to register for PLSC 29800 BA Colloquium and PLSC 29900 BA Thesis Supervision and to submit a BA Thesis. To graduate with department honors, then, a student must have both honors-level grades and a BA Thesis that receives honors.
Double Majors
Students who plan to double major may complete the Political Science requirements by either the BA Thesis option or the Long Paper option. Students who write the BA Thesis must attend the Political Science BA Colloquium even if the other major also requires attendance at its colloquium. A request to use a single BA Thesis for two majors requires the approval of both program directors on a form available from the student's College adviser or at college.uchicago.edu/policies-regulations/forms-and-petitions.
Courses Taken at Other Universities by Students Who Transfer to the University of Chicago
Student who transfer into the University of Chicago and wish to transfer courses into the major should see the Director of Undergraduate Studies soon after matriculation. The introductory course requirement and the research methods requirement cannot be satisfied by courses taken elsewhere, but courses may be counted toward the major by petition.
Becoming a Political Science Major
Most students declare a major at the end of the second year or beginning of the third. The department encourages students to try out the major even before declaring. To receive announcements about the program in the major and other information about the Department of Political Science, students should sign up for the undergraduate email list either in the departmental office or at https://lists.uchicago.edu/web/info/ugpolsall.
Political Science Courses
PLSC 20721. Violence and Development in Africa. 100 Units.
Why are many African states weak, poor, and conflict-prone? This course examines how institutions in sub-Saharan Africa shape both economic development and political violence. In the first part of the course, we examine the long-run effects of the slave trade, colonialism and decolonization on contemporary politics. In the second part, we examine the political economy of African civil wars. We focus on how patterns of state-building shape conflict onset and the emergence of conflict economies. We discuss the extent to which contemporary African conflicts are characterized by violent entrepreneurship and how wartime economies shape conflict termination and post-conflict outcomes. We will focus on five main case studies: the Niger Delta conflict, electoral violence in Kenya, the Somali civil war, the Congo Wars, and conflict in South Sudan.
Instructor(s): I. Hock Terms Offered: Autumn
PLSC 20725. On Condoned Violence: from Punishment to Pleasure. 100 Units.
This course offers students an introduction to issues surrounding the ways in which punishment and violence have been justified in the Western tradition. The readings address condoned violence broadly understood, covering a wide array of practices that produce suffering, but are considered justifiable to one degree or another by states or societies: judicial punishment, incarceration, the death penalty, pornography, and industrial farming practices, among others. By considering how such forms of violence are justified, the course aims to critically approach the notion that human societies are generally moving towards greater kindness and empathy. This seminar will bring together texts from political theory, legal theory, comparative politics, alongside several other "cultural attachés."
Instructor(s): Y. Blajer de la Garza Terms Offered: Winter
PLSC 21006. Political Economy of Inequality. 100 Units.
This seminar explores political consequences of economic inequality. The course will focus primarily on political reactions to economic inequality in the context of democracies. Does economic inequality always matter for politics? When does it become a salient issue in politics and how? What kind of effects does economic inequality have on political outcomes such as redistribution and regime change? Why is it that economic inequality is met in some democracies and at some times with discontent and in other democracies and at other times with tolerance? We will study some of the most compelling political and economic arguments in investigating these questions. We will also cover a variety of research methodologies including conducting interviews, participant observation, surveys and case studies, coding qualitative data and using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Instructor(s): Y. Lee Terms Offered: Autumn
PLSC 21812. Global Ethics. 100 Units.
This course examines different theories of global justice that have been developed by political theorists since the 1980s. It explores how these theories have answered urgent moral questions in international affairs, with a particular focus on global poverty and inequality. Addressed questions will include the following: What does justice require at the global level? Does the very idea of global justice make sense? Are economic inequalities between countries morally objectionable? What do affluent countries (and their citizens) owe to less affluent countries (and their citizens)? Does nationality have moral significance? Are we morally permitted, or even required, to prioritize the interests of our compatriots over the interests of foreigners? Do states have a right to exclude immigrants? How should the burdens of mitigating climate change be distributed across countries? We will address these questions by reading and critically assessing important texts written by leading scholars within the field of political theory and applied ethics, including John Rawls, Thomas Nagel, Charles Beitz, Peter Singer, Simon Caney, David Miller, and Thomas Pogge.
Instructor(s): C. Cordelli Terms Offered: Autumn
Equivalent Course(s): HMRT 21812
PLSC 22110. Black Politics in the U.S. 100 Units.
The course will cover topics on Black Politics in the United States.
Instructor(s): M. Dawson Terms Offered: Winter
PLSC 22202. Philosophies of Environmentalism and Sustainability. 100 Units.
Some of the greatest ethical and political challenges confronting the world today are related to environmental issues: for example, climate change, loss of biodiversity, the unsustainable use of natural resources, and other threats to the well-being of both present and future generations. Using both classic and contemporary works, this course will highlight some of the fundamental and unavoidable philosophical questions informing such environmental issues. Can a plausible philosophical account of justice for future generations be developed? What counts as the ethical treatment of non-human animals? What does the term "natural" mean, and can natural environments as such have moral standing? A and B
Instructor(s): B. Schultz Terms Offered: Winter
Note(s): Course is open to undergraduates and MAPH students.
Equivalent Course(s): HMRT 22201,MAPH 32209,ENST 22209,GNSE 22204,PHIL 22209
PLSC 22210. Roman Philosophers on the Fear of Death. 100 Units.
All human beings fear death, and it seems plausible to think that a lot of our actions are motivated by it. But is it reasonable to fear death? And does this fear do good (motivating creative projects) or harm (motivating greedy accumulation, war, and too much deference to religious leaders)? Hellenistic philosophers, both Greek and Roman, were preoccupied with these questions and debated them with a depth and intensity that make them still highly influential in modern philosophical debate about the same issues (the only issue on which one will be likely find discussion of Lucretius in the pages of The Journal of Philosophy). The course will focus on several major Latin writings on the topic: Lucretius De Rerum Natura Book III and extracts from Cicero and Seneca. We will study the philosophical arguments in their literary setting and ask about connections between argument and its rhetorical expression. In translation we will read pertinent material from Plato, Epicurus, Plutarch, and a few modern authors such as Thomas Nagel, John Fischer, and Bernard Williams.
Instructor(s): M. Nussbaum Terms Offered: Winter
Prerequisite(s): Ability to read the material in Latin at a sufficiently high level, usually about two years at the college level.
Equivalent Course(s): CLCV 24716,CLAS 34716,LAWS 96305,RETH 30710,PHIL 30710,PLSC 32210,PHIL 20710
PLSC 22402. Florentine Political Thought. 100 Units.
This course is devoted to the political writings of the giants of medieval and Renaissance Italian and specifically Florentine political thought: Petrarch, Salutati, Bruni, Bracciolini, Savonarola, Guicciardini, and, of course, Machiavelli.
Instructor(s): J. McCormick Terms Offered: Winter
Prerequisite(s): Consent of instructor required.
Equivalent Course(s): PLSC 52402,LLSO 22402
PLSC 22600. Introduction to Political Philosophy. 100 Units.
In this course we will investigate what it is for a society to be just. In what sense are the members of a just society equal? What freedoms does a just society protect? Must a just society be a democracy? What economic arrangements are compatible with justice? In the second portion of the course we will consider one pressing injustice in our society in light of our previous philosophical conclusions. Possible candidates include, but are not limited to, racial inequality, economic inequality, and gender hierarchy. Here our goal will be to combine our philosophical theories with empirical evidence in order to identify, diagnose, and effectively respond to actual injustice. (A)
Instructor(s): B. Laurence Terms Offered: Spring
Note(s): Students should register via discussion section.
Equivalent Course(s): GNSE 21601,LLSO 22612,PHIL 21600
PLSC 22710. Electoral Politics in America. 100 Units.
This course explores the interactions of voters, candidates, the parties, and the media in American national elections, chiefly in the campaign for the presidency, both in nominating primaries and in the November general election. The course will examine how voters learn about candidates, how they perceive candidates, how they come to turn out to vote, and how they decide among the candidates. It will examine the strategies and techniques of electoral campaigns, including the choices of campaign themes and the impact of campaign advertising. It will consider the role of campaign contributors and volunteers, the party campaign organizations, campaign and media polls, and the press. Finally, it will assess the impact of campaigns and elections on governing and policymaking.
Instructor(s): M. Hansen Terms Offered: Autumn
Equivalent Course(s): LLSO 22710
PLSC 22913. The Practice of Social Science Research. 100 Units.
This is a first course in empirical research as it is practiced across a broad range of the social sciences, including political science. It is meant to enable critical evaluation of statements of fact and cause in discussions of the polity, economy, and society. One aim is to improve students' ability to produce original research, perhaps in course papers or a senior thesis. A second objective is to improve students' ability to evaluate claims made by others in scholarship, commentary, or public discourse. The specific research tools that the course develops are statistical, but the approach is more general. It will be useful as a guide to critical thinking whether the research to be evaluated, or to be done, is quantitative or not. Above all, the course seeks to demonstrate the use of empirical research in the service of an argument.
Instructor(s): P. Conley Terms Offered: Autumn,Winter,Spring
PLSC 23010. Liberalism and Empire. 100 Units.
The evolution of liberal thought coincided and intersected with the rise of European empires, and those empires have been shaped by liberal preoccupations, including ideas of tutelage in self-government, exporting the rule of law, and the normativity of European modernity. Some of the questions this course will address include: how was liberalism, an apparently universalistic and egalitarian theory, used to legitimate conquest and imperial domination? Is liberalism inherently imperialist? Are certain liberal ideas and doctrines (progress, development, liberty) particularly compatible with empire? What does, or what might, a critique of liberal imperialism look like? Readings will include historical works by authors such as Locke, Mill, Tocqueville, and Hobson, as well as contemporary works of political theory and the history of political thought (by authors such as James Tully, Michael Ignatieff, David Kennedy, and Uday Mehta).

PLSC 23501. International Political Economy. 100 Units.
What explains a government's decision to block a trade deal, prevent foreign investors from gaining control of a local factory, or ban the export of rare earth minerals? This course develops theory and evidence that these decisions reflect domestic and international politics. We will discuss the political dimension of the integration of the global economy and the way that globalization separates workers, business, and consumers. Drawing on methods and theory from international political economy, we will critically examine the prospects for international cooperation on trade and immigration, as well as the future of international governance.

PLSC 24202. Politics in Chicago. 100 Units.
The distinctive feature of Chicago politics was the machine, and we will use the party machine as it operated in the mid-twentieth century as our touchstone. First, we will study how the party was organized and how it operated. Next we will explore the influence that the machine had on the citizens of the City of Chicago and the effect it had on the actions of the mayor and the city council. Along the way, we will consider the development of machine politics and the features of the city that made its politics similar to other cities' and different from theirs. Finally, we will examine the change that has occurred and the lingering effects of the past on the city's politics today.

PLSC 24302. Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Politics. 100 Units.
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of the Western conceptions of philosophy, rhetoric, and politics—and the site of contentious debates about the relationship between them. This course offers an introduction to some of those debates. Does rhetoric pose a threat to the sound practice of democratic politics? Or is rhetoric instead a necessary part of any democratic politics? How did ancient Greek philosophers develop a critique of rhetoric and its practice in democratic Athens? What techniques and concepts did they themselves borrow from rhetoric in pursuing their own philosophical agendas? Does the power of rhetoric make the pursuit of rational and reasonable politics impossible? We will take up these and other related questions through a close reading of Plato (Gorgias, Phaedrus, Menexenus), Aristotle (Rhetoric), Thucydides (History of the Peloponnesian War), speeches of the Athenian orators, and other ancient Greek texts.

PLSC 24401. Herodotus and Thucydides: History and Politics. 100 Units.
In this course we read Herodotus and Thucydides not only as historians but as political thinkers. The course will be organized around an intensive engagement with two central texts: Herodotus' Histories and Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. As we read through these works, we will also take up the wider historical and political context—e.g., the fifth-century rise of Athenian democracy and imperialism—and the relationship between our texts and other genres, including philosophy, drama, and rhetoric. The aim of the course is not only to give students a close familiarity with our two authors and some of the scholarship surrounding them, but also, more broadly, to think through the relationship between political theory and history. How might political theory guide the writing of history, and how can history contribute to theorizing politics? What can our reading of Herodotus and Thucydides tell us about how to think about these questions in different eras and contexts?

PLSC 24402. Greek Political Thought. 100 Units.
This course is designed to help students in political theory and related fields think about—and do—the history of political thought by recovering the strangeness of ancient democracy and its critics. It is an advanced survey of the political thought of classical Athens with particular emphasis on the cultural, institutional, and poetic practices through which Athenians enacted democracy and questioned its assumptions and effects. In sixth century Athens, the notion that the people could and should rule themselves—not by virtue of wealth, property, or family name but simply by birth—served as a radical rejection of the longstanding view that political power belonged in the hands of the few (the wealthy, propertied, and elite). We contextualize the dramatic poetry, philosophy, oratory, and history that emerged in the subsequent century or so, under conditions of expanding and contracting empire. We read them as critical reflections on what life was like under this new political arrangement and ask to what extent the works of Thucydides, Aristophanes, Euripides, and Plato can be said to constitute the birth of political theory as an idea and a practice.

The persistence of many authoritarian regimes since the end of the Cold War has inspired a major new literature in comparative politics on how non-democracy works. This mixed graduate-undergraduate class for MA and College students considers some conceptual and theoretical issues and debates in this new wave of research, such as: How should authoritarian regimes, including so-called "hybrid regimes," best be classified? What kind of institutions makes authoritarianism more or less stable and durable? How do these regimes try to generate compliance and support? Why do so many of them hold elections and convene parliaments? What economic factors tend to bolster or undermine dictatorship? And how do they both extract support and deflect threats from their international environment?

PLSC 24500. Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition. 100 Units.
This seminar will be devoted to a reading of Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition (1958), one of the most influential works of political theory written in the twentieth century. Through careful study of the meaning and function of Arendt's often-puzzling distinctions among "public," "private" and "social" and among "labor," "work," and "action," we'll try to understand her account of the significance and prospects of human activity, including especially political activity, in modernity. Topics of special concern may include: the relation between philosophy and politics; Arendt's relationship to Marx and to the Marxist critique of capitalism; the meanings of work and leisure in the twentieth century and beyond; the nature and basis of political power and freedom; the relations between art and politics; the significance of city life for politics; and many others. While The Human Condition will be at the center of the course, the book will be supplemented and framed by other material, including essays on related subjects by Arendt; excerpts from some of the other thinkers with whom Arendt was in conversation; and material by later writers that will help us situate Arendt in the larger contexts of twentieth-century intellectual life, and which will also give us different angles on some of the key issues in Arendt's book.

PLSC 24805. Legitimacy and Political Institutions. 100 Units.
Legitimacy is key to successful governance. This course will consider what makes people perceive government decisions (and, ultimately, the government itself) as legitimate, or as being "appropriate, proper, and just." We will focus on four characteristics of political institutions—access, accountability, efficiency, and fairness—and how they affect individuals' feelings toward government officials and their decisions. We will compare the challenges faced by democratic and authoritarian governments as well as those faced by new versus established governments. Specific topics that will be discussed include the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), the politics of austerity and bailouts in the European Union, and local law enforcement and public education in the United States.

PLSC 24902. Democratic Accountability and Transparency. 100 Units.
Diagnoses of democratic failings, from the influence of money in politics to abuses of police power, often come with a promised solution: Our institutions need to be more "accountable" and "transparent." But what do these concepts really mean—and how much of a difference do they really make? We'll begin by considering the ways in which fears of tyrannical, arbitrary, unaccountable rule have long been central to democratic political thought and practice. But we'll spend most of our time on contemporary issues and problems. How should we conceive of accountability, both conceptually and normatively? Are elections sufficient to make politicians accountable to ordinary citizens? What forms of accountability are appropriate for modern democratic politics? Is accountability only for elites, or should ordinary citizens be accountable to one another? In what contexts are transparency and accountability valuable, and when might we instead find their operation counter-productive and troubling? In addition to philosophical readings, we consider a variety of real-world cases, from Wikileaks to Truth and Reconciliation Commissions.

The course will explore moral and political problems of racial justice and injustice. Topics may include antidiscrimination theory, the fair political representation of racial minorities, reparations for racial injustice, racial segregation, the use of racial preferences in various practices of selection, and the evaluation of practices of law enforcement and punishment. We will use reflections on particular problems such as these to inquire about the uses of racial concepts in political theory; the connections between racial justice and ostensibly more general conceptions of justice; and the connections between racial equality and other egalitarian ideals.

Political parties are a central feature of American government. In this course we will explore their role in contemporary politics and learn about their development over the course of American history. We will start by asking the following questions: What is a political party? Why do we have a two-party system, and how did that system develop? We will then proceed to study shifts in party coalitions, parties' evolving structures, their role in policymaking, and trends in popular attitudes about parties. Although our primary empirical focus will be on parties in the United States, we will spend some time on comparative approaches to political parties.

Why is there no single world government? From Tennyson to Einstein, thinkers have asserted that solving the world's ills could be accomplished only through the creation of a single, global government. Is this feasible? What forces, technological and political, have prevented its creation? Do institutions of global governance, such as the United Nations Security Council, serve as a stepping-stone towards or a substitute for world government? The course mixes readings in philosophy, theory, and history to consider such questions. Students will grapple with two fundamental ideas in international relations—sovereignty and anarchy—and use these ideas to gauge the practicality of achieving a global monopoly on the use of violence, the creation of a global single currency, and the viability of a global constitution.

Cicero famously called history the "schoolmistress of life." This course explores how ancient and early modern authors—in particular, Livy, Plutarch, and Machiavelli—used the lives and actions of great individuals from the Greek and Roman past to establish models of political behavior for their own day and for posterity. Such figures include Solon, Lycurgus, Alexander, Romulus, Brutus, Camillus, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, Julius Caesar, and Augustus. We will consider how their actions are submitted to praise or blame, presented as examples for imitation or avoidance, and examine how the comparisons and contrasts established among the different historical individuals allow new models and norms to emerge. No one figure can provide a definitive model. Illustrious individuals help define values even when we mere mortals cannot aspire to reach their level of virtue or depravity. Course open to undergraduates and graduate students. Readings will be in English. Students wishing to read Latin, Greek, or Italian will receive support from the professors.

As the world's most populous country and second largest economy, China wields considerable weight globally but also stands out for its non-democratic political system. This course has two goals. First, it examines political institutions and political behavior in China in historical perspective, especially since the Communist takeover of power in 1949. It emphasizes how institutions have been shaped and reshaped and the importance of leadership, with special attention on the tensions and challenges of development. Second, it considers various issues of public policy and governance, including the role of the Communist Party, state-society relations, the relationship between Beijing and the provinces, development and corruption, population and environment, and the role of the armed forces in society. The course looks at many of these issues from a comparative perspective and introduces a variety of analytical concepts and approaches.

PLSC 28005. Intro to Social Choice and Electoral Systems. 100 Units.
Voting procedures play an integral role in our lives as citizens by translating the preferences of people into collective outcomes. This course will evaluate these procedures mathematically, by considering the various properties that electoral systems may or may not satisfy. A classic example is Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, which tells us that every electoral system must fail to satisfy one or more criteria of fairness or sensibility. We will examine this result and other legislative paradoxes, and learn why the choice of procedure is critical to our understanding of how "good" and "bad" decisions can be made—and how we can distinguish a bad decision from a good one.

This course will examine relationship between race and the discourse, concept, and practices of citizenship in the United States. Throughout the course, we will interrogate how ideologies and experiences of race and citizenship have constituted each other over time, producing particular forms of politics–and enabling forms of unequal political belonging to coexist with claims to equal citizenship and democratic principles. As we critically evaluate different conceptual treatments of citizenship with race in view, this course will consider the limitations of citizenship as the privileged end goal of struggles for rights and recognition. Readings might include works from authors such as Alexis de Tocqueville, WEB Du Bois, Gunnar Myrdal, Martin Luther King, Jr., Judith Shklar, Joel Olson, Charles Mills, Danielle Allen, and Claudia Rankine.

The Delphic maxim "know thyself" is one of the cornerstones of Western philosophy. But how, exactly, do we figure ourselves out? This course examines three approaches to self-knowledge: Buddhism, Psychoanalytic Theory, and Social Neuroscience. We will learn both the theories behind each approach and how they can foster deeper perspectives on our own condition. We will explore the nature of love, guilt, anxiety, and other emotions, the origins of morality, and the many biases in our cognition. Readings include Sigmund Freud, Patricia Churchland, Daniel Kahneman, Pema Chodron, and Walpola Sri Rahula.

Topics will include property rights and distributive justice; the meaning of freedom and equality; arguments for and against democracy and the proper design of democratic institutions; war and the use of force; racial and gender justice; and global economic justice and human rights. The focus will be on contemporary approaches to these problems rather than on classical works of political thought. Familiarity with some such works will be helpful but is not required.

PLSC 28710. Democracy and the Politics of Wealth Redistribution. 100 Units.
How do political institutions affect the redistribution of wealth among members of a society? In most democracies, the distribution of wealth among citizens is unequal but the right to vote is universal. Why then have so many newly democratic states transitioned under conditions of high inequality yet failed to redistribute? This course explores this puzzle by analyzing the mechanisms through which individual and group preferences can be translated into pro-poor policies, and the role elites play in influencing a government's capacity or incentives to redistribute wealth. Topics include economic inequality and the demand for redistribution, the difference in redistribution between democracy and dictatorship, the role of globalization in policymaking, and the effects of redistribution on political stability and change.

What are the long-term consequences of colonial rule for democratic development? This course will use pairwise comparisons of countries from four different world regions and apply the comparative method to address some of the most enduring puzzles and paradoxes of democratization. Rather than covering an exhaustive set of topics that make up the entire field of comparative politics, we will focus on some of the most pressing challenges to democratic development today.

This course explores the secret side of international politics. We will analyze what governments do "behind closed doors" and learn about different theoretical approaches to understanding the production of secrecy, its effects on participants, and its consequences on issues like conflict and diplomacy. The course covers ten specific domains featuring secrecy, including secret state partnerships, closed-door crisis decision-making, secrecy during war, and the process of gathering and analyzing intelligence. Questions we will address include: What agreements do diplomats negotiate privately and why? For what ends do state use secrecy in wartime? What do covert cooperative partnerships look like and when do they succeed? What espionage practices do states use and how have they changed over time? Students will also gain experience doing their own research about secret statecraft via a research paper case study that showcases their own analysis of declassified materials.

How do "consequentialist" ethical theories, such as utilitarianism, address such issues? This course will address these questions by critically examining some of the most provocative defenses of consequentialism in the history of philosophy, from the work of the classical utilitarians Bentham, Mill, and Sidgwick to that of Peter Singer, one of the world's most influential living philosophers and the founder of the animal liberation and effective altruism movements. Does consequentialism lend itself to the Panoptical nightmares of the surveillance state, or can it be a force for a genuinely emancipatory ethics and politics? A and B

California prosecutors have offered plea deals to Patricia Dunn, Hewlett-Packard's former chairman, and four others charged with felony counts of conspiracy and identity theft in connection with the computer company's boardroom spying scandal.
The deals would allow Ms Dunn and the other co-defendants to avoid going to trial on felony charges by pleading guilty to a less serious misdemeanour charge, according to two people with knowledge of the case.
The plea offers came days after Bryan Wagner, a former HP subcontractor, admitted to fraudulently obtaining the telephone records of journalists in a federal guilty plea.
An attorney for Ms Dunn, who has vowed to fight the charges against her, could not be reached for comment on Thursday. Michael Pancer, an attorney representing Kevin Hunsaker, HP's former ethics chief, who has also been charged in the case, said his client was not interested in any plea deal.
"Kevin has broken no laws. As a result, we are not interested in any plea bargaining and we haven't been doing any plea bargaining with the attorney general's office," he said. Mr Pancer declined to comment on the terms of the attorney general's offer.
A spokesman for Jerry Brown, California attorney general, also declined to comment, saying "we don't discuss plea bargains".
Revelations that HP operatives used false pretences to obtain telephone records of HP board members, journalists and their families to pinpoint the source of a boardroom leak sparked public outrage last year.
The scandal spiralled after HP admitted that its private investigators also engaged in physical surveillance, an e-mail "sting" operation and other dirty tricks.
Bill Lockyer, the former California attorney general, charged Ms Dunn, Mr Hunsaker and three other defendants in October in connection with the case. All five pleaded not guilty. Mr Wagner is the only defendant to have been hit with federal charges.
In testimony before Congress in September, Ms Dunn expressed regret over the out-of-control investigation but said she bore no personal responsibility for what happened. Although she acknowledged that she had been concerned about some of the tactics used in the investigation, she insisted that she had received repeated assurances that investigators methods were above board.

Quote:Id just like to point out three contradictions that he makes:1. He says not to pigeonhole kata but he has already pigeonholed them as self defence. 2. He says all parts of a movement from the kata are significant but also says that the visual appearance is an irrelevance. 3. He says that these are keys to understanding kata but implies that all interpretations are valid.Martin

Re: How to remove confirmation message when turning mobile data on/ off?
nope there isn't anyway to do that ! It is there for your own benefit look what happens some times a person unknowingly clicks on the mobile data without having any data plan active and he/she ended up with long bills. But still its case specific because not all vendors gives such option As far as samsung touch wiz is concerned I am not seeing any notification while switch the data connection on and off I'll say while the notification is popping up on the bottom of the notification there might be a check box showing don't show this notification again, try checking that box and again try switching the notification on and off.

1974 – The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Atlanta Braves, 7-6, in 11 innings in front of 52,000 at Riverfront Stadium. In his first at-bat, Hank Aaron hit a three-run homer off Jack Billingham. It was his 714th, tying Babe Ruth's career record. The Braves had considered keeping Aaron on the bench for the season–opening series in Cincinnati so that he could attempt to tie the record four days later in Atlanta. But Commissioner Bowie Kuhn would not allow it and ordered the Braves to put Aaron into the lineup for at least two of the three games.
1988 – George Bell became the first player to hit three home runs on opening day, leading the Toronto Blue Jays past the Kansas City Royals, 5-3. Bell, bitter throughout spring training with his move to designated hitter, homered three times in that role off Bret Saberhagen.
1994 – The Chicago Cubs' Karl Rhodes hit three solo home runs off Dwight Gooden in a 12-8 loss to the New York Mets on opening day at Wrigley Field. Rhodes became the second player to homer three times in an opener.
1998 – Mark McGwire tied Willie Mays' NL record by hitting a home run in each of his first four games of the season.

Use your existing corded or cordless phone(s) and your broadband Internet to make and receive calls over the Internet for FREE (or at a very low-cost).
Via the OBi200's on-board phone connection, you have the power make and receive phone calls using VoIP services for FREE or at a fraction of the cost a traditional phone company would charge. The OBi200 supports up to four (4) VoIP services like Google Voice, Anveo, Phonepower, OneSuite or a multitude of other SIP Internet phone services as well as calls to other OBi endpoints via Obihai's free OBiTALK network. The OBi200 also supports the T.38 fax standard for reliable facsimile calls over the Internet.
The OBi200 USB port serves multiple purposes when used with Obihai USB accessory products. Using the OBiWiFi Wireless Adapter, the OBi200 can be placed anywhere within range of an 802.11b/g/n access point. The OBiBT Bluetooth wireless adapter allows a USB-equipped OBi device to pair with a mobile phone so you can place calls and answer calls using any standard home phones connected to the OBi. The OBiBT works with most mobile phones using Bluetooth wireless technology. The OBiLINE adapter allows a USB-equipped OBi device to make calls to a Land-Line Service from Phones Connected to the OBi.
The OBi allows you to make and receive phone calls using your high-speed internet, your regular home phone and a "VoIP" Internet phone service provider like Google Voice, Anveo, Phonepower or OneSuite. No computer is needed. You can also call for FREE from one OBi to another OBi anywhere in the world. In this case, a traditional phone service is never needed to make the connections. Talking becomes truly free.
Works with Google Voice
With a Google Voice account and a companion OBi device you can make and receive VoIP calls on a regular telephone.
Simple Set-Up
Within minutes, you will be making and receiving calls from the comfort and convenience of your home phone.
OBi Devices Make a Great Companion for Google Voice
Amazing and Useful Features
Enjoy all the benefits of Google Voice on your OBi device, including features like:
Incredibly Low Calling Rates
OBi users can also take advantage of Google Voice's low calling rates. Today, calling the U.S. is free from the U.S. & Canada and 1¢ per minute from everywhere else. International calling rates are also really low, with per minute rates starting at 1¢ to China, India, Mexico, Brazil and 150 other destinations – with no connection charge.*
Also, since Google Voice does not support 911 calling, for a small fee, the OBi device may be set-up with a dedicated E911 VoIP service.
*Rates subject to change by Google.
The OBi200 features a single phone port and single Ethernet connection to the Internet. It provides much of the same call control / call routing functionality of the OBi202 including support for the OBiWiFi and OBiBT USB accessories, 4 VoIP services (SIP), OBiTALK and T.38 fax - when connected to a service provider who also supports the T.38 protocol. At just under 70mm square and 27mm high, the OBi200 is arguably the smallest, most powerful VoIP device available today.
VoIP ATA Supports 4 VoIP Accts (SIP) for BYOD Services; Google Voice, Anveo, Phonepower, OneSuite ,Callcentric, Sipgate, VoIP.ms, etc.
OBi Calling Features: Caller ID, Call Forward, Anonymous Caller Blocking, Message Waiting Indication, 3-Way Conf Calling
OBiTALK Portal Features: Manage Your OBi, Connect to Your Friends' OBi Devices, Add Services, Download Apps for PC, Speed Dial Up to 99 OBi Endpoints or Phone Numbers

Winter Arrives in Manhattan
Our last morning in NY brought snow!! (well, sleet really)
Either way, it was bitterly cold - but seeing the city getting it's Wintry coat was pretty amazing.
Of course it brought some practical problems as I'd not packed anything bigger than a thin waterproof coat... not to mention trying to get to JFK for the flight home in a blizzard!
Quite a day.

By Jared Serbu Reporter Federal News Radio
The Environmental Protection Agency lacks the policies and procedures it needs to ensure that its staffing levels are appropriate for the agency's workload, the agency's inspector general found in a December 20 audit report.
EPA's Office of Budget "does not currently use workload data to determine (staffing) levels because it does not have a current Agency workload model," the IG reported. "EPA had historically used workload models to develop workforce estimates; however, these models were last updated in the 1980s and are no longer used."

Federal employee bill tracker: How pending legislation could affect your bottom line
The report notes that office of Office of Management and Budget policy mandates that "employment levels should reflect budget proposals and assumptions concerning workload, efficiency, proposed legislation, interagency reimbursable arrangements, and other special staffing methods."
In its response to the report, EPA officials called the IG's conclusions "faulty" and asserted that the agency is in full compliance with OMB guidance. The agency also replied that it is in the process of preparing a two-part workload benchmarking study.

text: Blusoul Dj | Producer | Harris Sgourdas better known as Blusoul in the electronic dance music circuit, originates from Athens, Greece. Leaning heavily towards dance music from his teenage years, his involvement with DJing gathered more strength with the music he started to collect of all the early House and Trance records of the 90's, at first playing them for his friends,and then on to stepping in to the spot light by appearing at small clubs in his home town, back in those years. Thereafter Harris took a short stint as radio producer with Blue Sky 107.2 FM. After several years of honing his skills and a desire to breach musical and technological boundaries, made Blusoul to start composing and producing tracks, and pursue a formal degree in music technology, while on the side working with Virgin Mega Stores as a manager, yet always finding time to play at some of the well known clubs in Athens those years. His first few releases such as - "Another Day" followed up by "World In A Shell" and "Flow EP" assuredly stamped his futuristic soundscapes on to clubland forever and since then there's been no looking back for the avant garde musician. This self styled cutting edge performer, Progressive House and melodic Techno specialist has gone on to release with some of the best labels such Lost & Found, Movement Recordings, Juicebox and seen massive support from heavy weights of the likes of John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Guy J to name some. Blusoul is all set to take in 2016 with a treasure trove of original releases and remix work with some of the best in the dance music industry.

Tivoli Systems Inc., the top supplier of change and configuration management software according to International Data Corp., for its part just dusted off its Tivoli Software Distribution and Tivoli Inventory tools by shipping more efficient versions.
Tivoli, in Austin, Texas, and others are responding to the need for better management discipline required when "every penny counts," said Mark Margevicius, an analyst at Gartner Inc., in Cleveland.
