Russian and Slavonic Studies
This three-year degree is aimed at students who wish to combine their interests in history with a focus on Eastern Europe, and in particular the vibrant and dynamic cultures of Russia and Southeast Europe.
In history you will be able to choose from an extensive range of modules, including options in Russian and Eastern European history. In the East European cultural studies part of your degree you will study the societies, histories, politics and cultures of the territory of Eastern Europe and Russia from the Byzantine period to the 21st century, beginning with modules that approach study of these cultures at introductory level, and specialising as your studies progress. Optional modules include topics in the literature, cinema, popular culture and history of Russia and South-East Europe, with a particular focus on the region that was formerly Yugoslavia. If you wish, you may study a Slavonic language: Russian, Serbian/Croatian or Slovene are all offered from beginners' level. Language study is optional and this degree does not include a year abroad.
By the end of your course you will have acquired a breadth of knowledge across the periods of history you have chosen to study, as well as a thorough grounding in the techniques and theories used by historians. You will also offer specialist knowledge of the histories and cultures of Russia and South-East Europe, which are increasingly important contexts for international diplomacy, politics and business. Your transferable skills will include the ability to plan and carry out research, to analyse texts and other information critically and to communicate and present ideas effectively. You may also be able to offer expertise in a less widely taught language.
In History, you will take the core module Learning History which introduces you to the skills and methodologies of historical research, together with modules from the early medieval period to the 20th century. In East European Cultural Studies you will take Nation, Myth, Identity, a core module introducing key issues and concepts in the study of Russian and Slavonic cultures, histories and literatures, as well as selecting from a range of further introductory modules. You may choose to begin learning Russian, Serbian/Croatian or Slovene.
The core element in History is provided by the module The Contemporary World since 1945, which explores key historical debates concerning the immediate origins of the world in which we now live. In addition you will be able to select more specific optional modules from an extensive menu, covering an extremely wide chronological and geographical range.
The range of options in East European Cultural Studies at this level includes a broad coverage of cultural studies, literature and history. You will also be able to start or continue with the study of Russian, Serbian/Croatian or Slovene.
In History you will select a Special Subject as well as selecting from a wide range of specialist optional modules. In East European Cultural Studies you will be encouraged to specialise in subjects of particular interest to you. You may also continue your study of the Slavonic language you began in Year One or Year Two, and/or take a fast-track module in Serbian/Croatian or Slovene.

This list is not exhaustive, and we consider applicants with other qualifications on an individual basis. The entry requirements for alternative qualifications can be quite specific; for example you may need to take certain modules and achieve a specified grade in those modules. Please contact us to discuss the transferability of your qualification.
For more information, please see the alternative qualifications page.
This module introduces students to important areas and topics in Russian and Slavonic Studies, examining important aspects of the histories and cultures of the region, as well as aspects of the languages, cultures and literary traditions. You will learn to analyse a wide range of cultural phenomena, including pictures, music, film, literary texts and other kinds of written sources.
This module introduces the main developments in Russian literature of the 19th and 20th centuries through study of texts by important writers such as Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Zamiatin, Bulgakov, Akhmatova and Petrushevskaia. You will learn skills for analysing and discussing literary texts, whether prose, poetry or drama, as well as insights into the historical and political evolution of Russia during this period.
Typical Year Two Modules
Screening Russia: Film and Society from the Tsars to Putin
You'll gain an understanding of the growth and development of the cult of saints in the Eastern Christian world in the context of the history and culture of late antiquity and the middle ages. In particular, you'll learn to interpret original written sources and icons and will master the basic tools for conducting research in the field, spending around three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
You'll examine major literary movements in Serbia and Croatia during the 20th century, from Modernism to the socially engaged literature of the 1930s, Socialist Realism, literary politics under the Communists in Yugoslavia and the emergence of critical literature in the 1980s and 1990s. You'll also undertake a textual analysis of representative works from 20th century literature; for example, works by Milos Crnjanski, Ivo Andrić, Miroslav Krleža, Danilo Kiš and Slobodan Selenić. You'll spend around two hours per week studying in lectures and seminars.
The aim of this module is to examine developments in the political, social and diplomatic history of Yugoslavia after 1941 leading towards an understanding of the reasons behind the collapse of the country and subsequent violence in the 1990s. You'll spend around three hours per week in lectures and seminars studying for this module.
The module examines issues covering the division of Europe into East and West, the West's construction of Russian, East European and Balkan identities in its own imagination, relations between dominant and subordinate cultures in Europe, and theoretical frameworks in which to examine intercultural relations (semiotics, orientalism). You will examine examples of such constructions in travelogues, popular fiction, film and journalism. The module also includes study of the influence of such largely negative views on identity formation within Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
The modules we offer are inspired by the research interests of our staff and as a result may change for reasons of, for example, research developments or legislation changes. The above list is a sample of typical modules we offer, not a definitive list.
By the end of this course you will have developed a variety of transferable skills including the ability to communicate effectively, study independently, and to develop a coherent argument. You will have both broad and specialist understanding of Russian and Eastern European histories, cultures and societies. If you have chosen to study a Slavonic language, you will have achieved a foundation knowledge, desirable to employers. You will have a sound understanding of the theories and techniques used by historians and will have experience of undertaking in-depth work with primary sources.

Do You Believe What the Media Tells You? — Survey of the Day
Credibility is pretty essential for the media. If folks don't believe what they read in the paper or see on the news, what's the point?
Credibility is pretty essential for the media. If folks don't believe what they read in the paper or see on the news, what's the point?
I remember when I was younger, my grandmother used to throw shoes at my grandfather when she was mad at him. When I got older, I had a shoe or two thrown at me as well.
A new national survey finds Americans are spending an average $688 on back to school shopping. The survey from the National Retail Federation says the dollar amount includes clothing and school supplies. The $688 figure is up $84 from last year's $604 average. That sounds like a lot of money to me. What about you?
It's hard to believe that the Presidential Election is just over three months away. We will see a lot of campaigning and commercials for each candidate in the coming months. It also seems like the last few elections have been really close, and this years should be no exception.
Seven days into the 96.1 Joy FM Charity Challenge, Cradle Beach Camp has a commanding lead in the polls, with over 75 percent of the vote! But there's still one week to go until we give one of our four deserving charities $1,000!
Only 17 days until the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics begin. As we speak, the touch relay is going on all through London. Those five famous rings are unmistakable.
So I took a couple days off after the 4th. You try and "step away from the phone", but its really hard to do.
We passed the hat around the 96.1 Joy FM office and each selected a charity we think deserves the money. Now, we need your help to determine which nonprofit is going to get the cash!
The Supreme Court has voted to uphold the individual mandate in President Obama's signature and controversial health care law.
So what's it all mean for you?
It looks like Regis Philbin's time filling in for Hoda Kotb on TODAY last Wednesday alongside former partner Kathie Lee Gifford might have been an audition of sorts.
This weekend, the World's Ugliest Dog was "crowned."
After all the talk about bullying and name-calling, am I off base in thinking that such a contest just isn't right...
Now this is an event that's really taken over Western New York. Tomorrow night at 10:10 p.m., Nik Wallenda will finally take his walk across Niagara Falls. Events like this don't happen every day. Are you going to be there in person?

Alert From the Sacramento Comprehensive High School Coalition
An update is in order for anyone hopeful that the Sac High campus might be reclaimed for use as a pedestrian-friendly comprehensive high school. A sizable group of families from the West Campus community oppose any move that re-locates, or significantly expands their campus and culture. When combined with St. HOPE's vigorous defense of the Sac High campus, it would appear that the "swap" option faces two very well-organized, and determined opponents.

Response: Several Ways Teachers Can Create A Supportive Environment For Each Other
S.H. asked:
Our school culture has a growing sense of [unhealthy] competitiveness. I believe a lot of this stems from the fact that our administration does not recognize (or maybe they do and simply don't voice) teacher expertise using specific, positive praise. We do receive thanks yous - but they tend to be blanket statements and pretty general. (For example, "Thank you Ms. _____ for helping your team out.")
This appears to have led to some teachers to measure themselves against others. Rather than feeling grateful that the students in our school are being taught by many talented teachers, it has become a zero-sum game and fed rivalries and pettiness.
It's sad for me to admit this, but I don't think there's a ton of hope in my administration changing their ways. I guess my question is, how can teachers create a sincere, supportive environment for each other?
I've asked Bill Ferriter and Parry Graham, co-authors of Building a Professional Learning Community at Work: A Guide to the First Year, to provide guest responses to this tricky question, and also include some excellent reader responses later in this post.
I think they offer excellent specific suggestions. The one thought I'd like to contribute is that a challenge to many of us -- whether it is how we operate as teachers with our colleagues or

Diann Huber, president of iteachU.S., said the program's goal is to provide a new career opportunity for people who have been laid off in other industries, like auto workers in Michigan, who may be able to use their knowledge to teach high-need subjects like math and science.
Texas began experimenting with alternative certification programs in the mid-1980s. Then, the

My principal recently made it very clear to me that the only written works produced by my 7th and 8th grade students worthy of display, are their constructed responses. In the Philadelphia School District and in my school especially, children are regularly expected to write these limiting and repetitive responses per the direction of our central leadership. According to my principal, it is vitally important that students score the maximum amount of points allowed for the opened-ended responses on the PSSA test. He

"IT'S BEEN a very exciting summer for Howard Jones," whooped his manager, from the stage of the Embassy Rooms. "He's just played San Francisco, and now he's here tonight to play for you in London!" Strangely enough, he neglected to mention that his client also did a gig at a pub in Ascot earlier this year. But I saw the banner, slung over some mock-Tudor eaves near the racecourse.
I suppose it might have been a look-alike tribute artist, but it's highly unlikely. Jones isn't an obvious candidate for rehabilitation. He never had the intense fan following that was once enjoyed by most of the current wave of Eighties comeback hopefuls - Culture Club, ABC, the Human League and David Sylvian. Like Thomas Dolby, he was someone who was just there in the charts. I don't remember anybody having a poster of him on their bedroom wall. Jed, his semi-naked mime artist sidekick, was more obviously exciting.
Jed, it seems, is sadly no longer part of the Jones outfit. Maybe he's in Edinburgh, feeling his way out of an invisible glass box, or maybe he went back to plastering - or whatever. But his loss was more than made up for by the kitsch value of Jones's bassist, the pleasantly goofy Nick Beggs - the man who led the post-Limahl Kajagoogoo into the wilderness by giving interviews to Smash Hits about how much he loved the Lord God Jesus. The poodle hair was gone, but the Bee Gee smile remained intact, and he seemed terribly pleased to be there. A small faction of the audience kept yelling, "Come on Beggsy!", but what they wanted him to do was anybody's guess.
Dig out one of Jones's old singles from your record collection, and you may well be disappointed. The sissy synthesised chords, the tinny drum machine and John Shuttleworth production values have dated as badly as Pepsi and Shirley's kneesocks.
Fortunately, however, the Howard Jones of 1999 is a much more substantial figure than his 1983 predecessor. Musically, that is. (Physically, he still remains a smiley little Muppet with Chris de Burgh eyebrows, all boppy and poppy and eager to please.)
The Jones sound has been beefed up since the days when he was supplying tracks for Now That's What I Call Music II. He's imported a brass section, a noisy drummer, a gutsy backing singer called Veronique, and enthusiastic lead guitar. The repertoire contains much more reggae and salsa than mimsy home counties electro-pop, and the ranks of Roland keyboards have been abandoned in favour of a dilapidated Hammond organ covered in stickers. The result is a big, ballsy sound that's far more lush and lairy than the music for which you'll remember him.
It is only the indifferent quality of his songwriting that prevented this gig being anything but pure pleasure. The numbers, even the ones still half-there in your head ("Pearl in a Shell", "What is Love?" "Like to Get to Know You Well") aren't quite good enough, I think, to escape consignment to the dustbin of history - or Ascot, as it's sometimes known.Reuse content

AWT2 implements so called "blind watermarking" approach in the sense that the watermark can be extracted directly from the watermarked audio recording (so that the source audio is not needed).
AWT2 package does not require installation and can be used right after unpacking. It consists of encoder (watermark embedding tool), decoder (watermark extraction tool), GUI front-end utility, detailed User Guide and examples.
AWT2 highlights:
- free evaluation package (no risk, no obligations, no registration)
AWT2 watermarks are inaudible and highly robust, surviving low bitrate transcoding with lossy coders, mixing, effect processing, acoustic coupling (transducing via air) and time stretching. Check examples section.
You can request AWT2 evaluation package here. Despite its limited functionality, the demo package offers enough flexibility to perform a variety of performance tests so that you can decide whether AWT2 suits your needs before buying a fully functional version.
AWT2 comes with an optional AWT2 Watermark Listener - free Android application that lets you use your portable Android device (phone, tablet) to detect digital watermarks in the audio content processed with AWT2 technology. Details...
This software is offered "as is". Please try and buy.
AWT2 screen-shots
Here are screen-shots of AWT2 GUI tool and console applications for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Ubuntu). You can click on small images below to see full screen-shots:
AWT2 GUI tool is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and Linux (Gentoo, OpenSuse, Ubuntu) platforms. It comes with drag'n'drop support. Console AWT2 encoder and decoder are available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD. Other platforms can be supported upon request.
What it does and who it is for
AWT2 targets audio recording and production studios, on-line music stores, audio hosting services, broadcasting companies and other small and medium sized businesses. Here are some of the most common AWT2 applications:
Here is a very simplistic example of AWT2 usage. Imagine, you're a musician selling your tracks on the web. Using AWT2 you add a hidden inaudible digital signature (watermark) into every sold track. The signature contains your (creator's) identifier together with identifier of the target user who buys the track. Now imagine that later on you find your track on torrents or broadcasted on radio. You download or simply record the file and easily extract the signature from it. The signature confirms your ownership and indicates who was your "bad" customer who spread the file.
How to evaluate
Evaluation (demo) version of AWT2 can be requested here:
All packages contain encoder (demo version), decoder, GUI application, descriptive User Guide (PDF), example batch files. You may also want to look at the full changes log of AWT2 package releases.
AWT2 can be compiled for any platform not listed above. If you are interested in integration of AWT2 into your software, you can use AWT2 SDK, which is available for all major desktop, server and mobile platforms upon request.
The demo version of the encoder has limited functionality: the only permitted watermarks that can be embedded into audio stream are: 0x12, 0x56 (1 byte), 0x7890, 0x9876 (2 bytes), 0xABCDEF12, 0x12345678 (4 bytes), 0x112233445566 (6 bytes), 0x1122334455667788 (8 bytes) and 0x001122334455667788990011...8899 (40 bytes). This is quite strict limitation, however it offers enough flexibility to perform a variety of performance tests so that you can decide whether AWT2 suits your needs or not before buying fully functional version. If this limitation seems to you too strict and you wish to test the package with other watermarks, please feel free to contact AWT2 author by e-mail.

I used to be a boxed-mix kind of girl, but then I discovered these incredible homemade brownies. They're intensely chocolate and have just a bit of espresso powder to give them a bit of a kick and really up the chocolate flavor.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1.Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9×13 baking dish.
2. In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sugar mixture to boil.
3. Pour butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer, beat in cocoa powder, eggs, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Stir in the flour and chocolate chips until well combined.
5. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until a tester comes out mostly clean. The edges should be set and the center should still look slightly moist, but not uncooked. Cool on a wire rack.

Huntington Beach emergency sirens to be tested Friday
The sirens, at all of the city's fire stations except for Edwards Fire Station, will be tested at noon Friday and then on the first Friday of each month, said city spokeswoman Laurie Payne. The city is recommending that residents listen to the siren test to become familiar with the sound, Payne said.
The previous siren system was more than 30 years old and could not reach portions of the city, said Fire Chief Duane Olson. But the new equipment, which the city bought with a $275,000 Homeland Security grant, is expected to be heard by 98 percent of the city, Olson said.
The warning system indicates when residents should tune their radios to KWVE 107.9 FM, the Emergency Alerting System that provides emergency information to the public. The sirens are used in most coastal cities.
"The tsunami in 2006 had generated a lot of interest in what the city of Huntington Beach has done to prepare its residents of an impending threat," Olson said.
Information: Gloria Morrison, Emergency Services Coordinator, at 714-536-5980.

CINCINNATI -- A whole lot of little things ended the New York Mets' winning streak.
Bronson Arroyo extended his latest surge by pitching eight innings Friday night, and the Cincinnati Reds used a minimal rally to beat the Mets 5-2, ending their 10-game winning streak.
It took a lot of Arroyo and a little bit of luck to end the Mets' run, which ended one win shy of the franchise record. The 10 straight victories put them back in contention in the NL East. Their first loss in exactly two weeks dropped them one game behind Philadelphia in the division.
"They continued to battle right to the end," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "It was exciting and fun. They deserve a big pat on the back. But we've got work ahead."
A basic-as-it-gets rally finally finished it.
The Reds scored four times in the fifth off John Maine (8-7) despite getting only two balls out of the infield. Ken Griffey Jr. drew a bases-loaded walk, Brandon Phillips lofted a two-run single into shallow right field, and Edwin Encarnacion got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
"Just good placement," Phillips said of his hit. "It's a beautiful thing."
Jay Bruce hit a solo homer off Maine, who has failed to last five innings in three of his last four starts.
"I don't know what it is," Maine said. "I work hard between starts. I go out there and the little things here and the little things there are hurting you."
Arroyo (8-7) has been extremely streaky this season. The right-hander is in one of his upturns, winning his last four starts. The majors' hottest team managed only four hits off Arroyo, including Carlos Beltran's RBI double.
The eight innings matched Arroyo's longest performance of the season.
"A lot of times, you get into a groove where you feel like you're unbeatable, and I feel like that lately," Arroyo said.
Francisco Cordero, who blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning Thursday night, gave up a walk in the ninth before finishing it off for his 20th save in 25 chances.
Exquisite starting pitching was the foundation of the Mets' surge. Their staff threw four shutouts in the last six games before the All-Star break, but hasn't been the same since. The Mets blew two leads in their 10-8 win Thursday night, and Maine gave the Reds plenty of assistance during their decisive rally on Friday.
The Reds loaded the bases on Paul Bako's single, Bruce's walk and Jeff Keppinger's infield single with two outs. Keppinger's grounder took a high hop and left third baseman David Wright in a tough spot. He tried to make a backhand swipe and step on the base simultaneously, but couldn't come up with the ball.
"It just didn't work out," Wright said.
Griffey fouled off a 94 mph fastball with a full count to extend his at-bat, then took one low and away to force in a run. Phillips got just enough of a pitch to loft it over the head of first baseman Carlos Delgado for two more runs.
After Adam Dunn was intentionally walked to reload the bases, Maine hit Encarnacion to make it 5-2 and end his outing. Maine walked five, threw a wild pitch and hit one batter as he fell to 0-3 in three career starts against Cincinnati.
Although Maine was downcast, his manager saw indications that he's pulling out of his slump.
"When you make a pitch and they bloop it, there's nothing you can do," Manuel said. "They didn't hit him hard."
Even so, Maine was upset by his ugly pitching line. He needed 102 pitches to go 4 2/3 innings.
"I'm just struggling right now in all aspects," he said. "I can't throw strikes, I walk too many people."
- The Mets won 11 straight in 1969, 1972, 1986 and 1990.
- RHP Pedro Martinez is still scheduled to throw in the bullpen on Saturday to test his sore groin. Martinez got an injection for the injury on Thursday. If he has no problems, he could start Tuesday against Philadelphia. "We'll see what he looks like tomorrow," Manuel said. "He just has to say that he feels good."
- Reds OF Ryan Freel will have surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn tendon that attaches to the base of his right hamstring. Freel has been sidelined since June 4. There's no timetable for his recovery.
- The Reds honored Griffey, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan before the game for their career Gold Glove honors.

Greatfields School has been featured in Building and BD online
Surface to Air Architects has been appointed to design the new £35 million Greatfields School in east London.
Located in the former Gascoigne Estate in Barking the development forms part of the wider Allies & Morrison-designed Weavers Quarter masterplan and includes a 700-pupil primary school and 1,800-pupil secondary school.
Surface to Air said its design for the school is focused on flexible spaces that promote learning, individual study and collaboration.
Greatfields School is expected to open to students in September 2019 and will become part of the group of Partnership Learning schools in the borough.
Surface to Air director Heidi Moxon said: "This facility will be a key civic project for Barking & Dagenham.
"With the needs of the local community at the forefront of our design process, our aim was to create a contemporary building that will allow pupils realise their full potential."
Roger Leighton, chief executive of Partnership Learning, a local multi-academy trust, said: "Greatfields School will have its challenges – particularly its location at the heart of a dense, urban regeneration scheme – but we are confident that Surface to Air will develop a design that meets our educational vision."

Hi Bernat, now is possible to change language (ex: lang\it_it\mts_lang_it_it.xml).

Now Foxit Updater downloads language files, so it's needed (or a modified configuration file is needed). Thanks for your work, bye.

This is a bug of program itself.

changing "bCustomColor"="0" to "bCustomColor"="1"
Foxit will take it when opening but reset to 0 when saving.
