What is an IP Address?
Last Updated: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 > Related Articles
A brief explanation of what IP addresses are, for Cox Business customers.
What is an IP Address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a 32-bit address used to identify your computer on the internet. This address is a string of four numbers separated by periods (such as 188.8.131.524). Each of these numbers is called an octet.
Each computer on the internet has a unique number in order for data to be sent to and from the computer. However, by using a router and NAT (network address translation) you can have one IP address and connect many computers to the internet. These many computers would share the one IP address of the router that is connected to the internet, so all computers behind the router would represent themselves as coming from the same IP address.
For more informaion on IP addresses, please take a look at these links:

Hello folks,
I have a working USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer Micro 8 GB) that I took out the u3 encryption.
I used WinSetupFromUSB and NLITE to create a bootable, unattended, install of Windows XP SP3. This works perfectly.
My issue is that I would like to encrypt this USB flash drive so that once I choose to boot from it, it prompts me for a password, and then start the grub4dos/gldr boot loader and call on the menu.lst, and so on.
I tried using TrueCrypt, but I can't get it to work. I can't seem to find any sort of encryption method that would allow me to do so.
I suppose, as an alternative, I can buy a USB flash drive that has some sort of physical lock (like the Corsair Padlock) and call it a day, but figured I'd ask here first
Thank you

asbury is a sh1t hole, the casino skatepark was the best thing going and that got shut down 10 years ago :( I surf there when its crowded everywhere else, had some epic sessions
Printable View
asbury is a sh1t hole, the casino skatepark was the best thing going and that got shut down 10 years ago :( I surf there when its crowded everywhere else, had some epic sessions
yeah asbury is still a ****hole. my buddies rear window on his car got smashed out one day. also this one kid got stabbed and has hepatitis c now because he just wanted to check the waves. Same ol' ****hole
I def. agree that there are a lot of shady characters in asbury. I don't know if any of you have heard about madison marquette rebuilding the boardwalk and some of the area around it. They are putting a lot of up scale retail such as clothing stores and places to eat. At the moment the city is still not a great area but within 5-10 years alot of the people who cause the crime and things could be driven out due to higher prices and upscale living.
The surf is still pretty solid regardless.
I lived in AP on 3rd ave by comstock from the time I was born until i was 11 and it was time for middle school (parents thought it might be in my best interest to get me out of the school district). East of kingsley and cookman may apprear to be nice and sweet with all the new shops and restruants but lincoln village, springwood, and bangs ave. are not going anywhere. There still is alot of crime granted the police have stepped up patrols along ocean ave and cookman to keep the out of town clients(money) safe. The city is going to need alot of time to completely turn around propably another 25 years. That will most people enough time to forget about the '68 riots and if the redevelopment continues and the developer does not go bankrubt(work already stopped on the espenansa) on the same ocean ave property that the last developer did in '84. Most families are going to aviod buying there because of the school district and crime rate.
wow....well alright at least i know that i can paddle out. as for all the crime....that just sucks.
thanks for the info everybody, i really appreciate it. maybe i'll see some of u AP cats out there when i get back from florida.
OP - If you need a place to live....check out some surrounding towns that border AP. You may find a gem. Otherwise you have been warned.
they should start with paving the ocean ave road its like driving through a minefield, i've always wondered what the surf is like in asbury and that's all i've ever done, its probably safer to park by 8th ave and just walk down the beach next to the water with syringe protecting booties and a knife at least thats the vibe i get when ive driven through there. . .asbury used to be really nice until the riots and the deinstintutionalizing of the mentally ill right? there must be an interesting history
Yeah, I forgot about that when marlboro mental closed it had a great effect on the AP community. I belive that happen shortly after we moved out i believe in '88. As a kid growing up there you don't recongize the situation your in until you move out and see that things that happen in AP are no longer acceptable in other locations.

NAEDA's Equipment Dealers Foundation (EDF) was created to provide grants to meet the industry's need for training resources, career advancements and scholarships. Through the years, the EDF has expanded its efforts to help dealership employees affected by natural disasters. Moving forward, your support is needed for research, grants and scholarships to continue to enhance our industry.
When faced with a disaster, the EDF has been able to step in and help. The EDF has financially aided a number of dealers and dealer employees, thanks to the generous support of dealers, manufacturers, suppliers and affiliated associations.
The purpose is not to replace insurance coverage or the entire business economics; rather, the efforts through "bridge grants" of up to $2,500 help put food on the table, replace toothbrushes and toothpaste, put gas in the vehicle and generally help individuals get their everyday routine back as quickly as possible. To date, the EDF has provided more than $200,000 to assist disaster victims.
In 2012 and 2013, EDF has offered a matching scholarship program in conjunction with dealers and affiliate associations, with the goal of helping dealers train the next generation of employees. These scholarships, coupled with the other matching grants of the sponsoring dealer and affiliate associations, were used to help students interested in the equipment industry attend schools and receive training so they can be a part of our industry after graduation. To date, 145 matching scholarships have been awarded to students.
Now is where you can help. In order for EDF to assist when disaster strikes again—and it will—and to help do research and provide important industry data and education, and provide scholarships to students excited about our industry, we need your continued support. Please consider a generous donation to the NAEDA EDF as we close out the year.
Please visit our website at https://www.naeda.com/SupportEDF/EDFFoundationOnlinePayment.aspx to contribute online.
Thank you.

Emerald Ash Borer Found in the Keweenaw
Last Modified 10:38 AM, July 9, 2009
August 7, 2008—
Emerald ash borers have made their first confirmed appearance in the Keweenaw. Michigan Tech entomologist Andrew Storer and colleagues from the University's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science found them in an abandoned cemetery in Laurium.
In a one-acre area, Storer and his colleagues found at least 50 infested or previously infested ash trees. Additional infested trees have been found two to three blocks from the cemetery site.
What's more, the larvae of the glossy green beetles, which have devastated ash trees in southeastern Michigan, seem to have been chewing away here, undetected, for some time. "Based on the condition of the trees," Storer said, "the emerald ash borer has clearly been here for a number of years."
The invasive insect has been spotted three previous times on the Upper Peninsula, but the closest known infestation was more than 200 miles from the Laurium site.
"It's disappointing to find them here, but since they are here, it's better that we know it," Storer said. "Now that we know they are here, homeowners and land managers will be able to protect or remove their ash trees as part of management efforts against this pest."
Meanwhile, Storer and members of his lab are widening their search for the ash borers and the trees they kill. The Michigan Department of Agriculture is expected to join the hunt in an attempt to determine the extent of infestation and to develop recommendations for homeowners and land managers.
The discovery came as a result of county agricultural extension director Mike Schira's investigation of a Laurium homeowner's report of dead and dying ash trees. Storer visited the site, collected larvae and sent them to James Zablotny of the US Department of Agriculture, who confirmed Storer's identification.
Emerald ash borers are native to China, Japan, Korea and Mongolia and probably hitched a ride to the US in wood packing material used in cargo containers. Once here and faced with few natural enemies, the invasive insects began attacking all native ash trees.
The beetles lay eggs on the tree's bark, and their larvae tunnel underneath, eating the living part of the bark and the outer layers of wood. Eventually, the tree dies.
Emerald ash borers can only travel about two miles in a lifetime. The borers expand their range as people haul infested firewood or other infested materials to new areas with ash trees.

text: Posted November 14, 2012 not sure how i missed it, but this post is just beautiful. what if...just what if this is the case? props to you sir. Very nice of you to say that. I would love to be wrong. However, when I state that Cam never audibles, the huggers dispute my argument by stating, "He is not allowed to!" He is not allowed to call audibles because the people closest to his abilities do not feel confident letting him do it. That alone is a huge statement about his intelligence. ANY coach would LOVE to give that power to their QB. Please prove me wrong Cam. However, I know that, right now, you are not a smart QB. If anyone knows football and can look at this objectively, it breaks your heart. He is an immature, selfish, unintelligent loner. When I see him crowd the OL around him on the sideline, when I see the coaches chatting with him after an interception or a big drive, when I see the other players rally to his defense, when coaches give him responsibility....I will know he has come of age. Anyone who defends him as he sits alone with a towel over his head on the bench affer his 11th three and out needs to watch some film on Brady and Peyton.

Trojans Outlast TornadosJanuary 26, 2013
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College women's basketball team came up just short in a 57-54 game against the Anderson Trojans in Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday as a Tuccoa Brackett game tying three-pointer rimmed out at the final buzzer.
The Tornados scored five unanswered points over the final three minutes of the game to pull within three on a Micheala Watkins free throw with 46 seconds remaining in the game.
BC applied full-court pressure as the Trojans brought the ball up the floor on their ensuing posession, and the Tornados fouled Ahlin Tilde with 38 seconds remaining. Tilde missed the front end of her one and one, which was collected by Sierra Simpson of the Anderson.
BC prevented the Trojans from getting an open look for the duration of the shot clock, and a Simpson jumper to beat the shot clock missed to give BC a chance to tie the game.
The rebound was pulled down by Brevard's Micheala Watkins with eight seconds on the clock, and she tossed an outlet pass to Brackett, whose attempt to tie the game barely missed.
Brackett finished with a game-high 18 points and also grabbed four rebounds. Tempestt Mack tied her season-high of 13 points to go with a team-high of seven rebounds.
The Tornados (4-12, 2-6 SAC) played the Trojans (13-5, 7-1 SAC) tight all game, using an 8-2 run to end the first half and send the game into the break tied at 25-25.
The Trojans had four players finish in double figures, paced by 14 points from Alissa Diaz. AU's Breonda Shannon tallied a double-double, finishing with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Brevard wraps a three-game homestand on Wednesday night as they host the Eagles of Carson-Newman in Boshamer Gymnasium at 6 p.m. Anderson will travel to Lenoir-Rhne for a 6 p.m. tip.

Thurs 05.20.10 - Erika and Thomas just got back from three weeks in New Zealand, so Erika and I decided to meet up today to go for a long walk. When I arrived at her house, I suggested that since it was late May and the weather had started to warm up, that we should go to the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino to see if the Rose Garden was in full bloom.
Oh was it ever in full bloom! We came the very right week to see every rose bush in full, over the top, bloom. It was amazing. The afternoon was warm at 84F/29F, clear, and sunny. We walked purposefully around the Rose Garden, all the while sniffing the roses and taking photos.
Luckily, the Huntington was not very crowded. My suggestion is if you live in the LA area, go the Huntington in the next 3-4 days to see the roses at their first bloom peak. It is truly amazing.
And the lotus flowers in the Japanese, Chinese and North Lawn ponds/fountains are also in bloom.
Do go. It is lovely.

One of the most enjoyable experiences our Ocean Isle Beach, NC hotel guests have is collecting seashells along the shoreline. But after you've collected them in your bucket, washed them and brought them home, what do you do with them then? We've compiled a list of tasteful and unique decorating tips for your souvenir seashells!
For a classic look, large glass vases or clear lamps are always an elegant way to show off your seashells. Instead of a generic bowl filled with seashells, try filling a seashell shaped bowl with shells. For a more eclectic look, hot glue seashells directly onto a picture frame, jewelry box or even small end table. Make your larger seashells, sanddollars and starfish stand out on a mantle.
If you'd like to bring the sea decorations into your bathroom, check out this shower curtain liner accented with seashells! Use this same technique on your porch or deck with this seashell garland, or seashell wind chimes. If you're ready to get collecting and decorating now, book your summer vacation now! Contact our Ocean Isle Beach, NC hotel manager online or call us today at 888-325-4753!

Process simplified for 2014.
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) has announced the beginning of its annual awards season with a streamlined nomination process. The four ASID Awards represent best in class for the field: Designer of Distinction, Design for Humanity, Design Innovation and the Nancy Vincent McClelland Merit Award. Nominations are now open for these awards, which represent the Society's highest level of professional recognition. The winners will be honored at Celebration, the Society's annual conference, on June 21, 2014, in Los Angeles.
"Every year the ASID Awards represent an opportunity to share and honor the exceptional work of our colleagues," said ASID President Rachelle Schoessler Lynn. "Public recognition of these innovative leaders is essential to advancing the profession and demonstrating the impact of interior design on our lives."
The 2014 revised nomination process requires the nominator to complete a short online form instead of providing documentation supporting the nominee's accomplishments, as was the case previously. ASID will contact eligible nominees directly to request a portfolio of materials documenting their work.
Nominations may be made through Jan. 5. Nominee portfolio submissions will be accepted from Jan. 13 to Feb. 9.
The Society's four awards recognize the achievements of members and non-members, individuals and teams, as well as institutions, corporations and manufacturers:
Designer of Distinction Award - The premier award for personal achievement and social consciousness in the interior design field, it honors an ASID professional member who over the course of his or her interior design career has established a body of superior work demonstrating creativity, excellence and innovation.
Design for Humanity Award - Celebrates an individual or institution for contributions to improving the human experience through environmentally friendly interior design projects or activities that demonstrate far-reaching impact.
Design Innovation Award - Recognizes an individual, institution, manufacturer or research team for producing an innovative project, product or body of work that contributes significantly to advancing the field of interior design.
Nancy Vincent McClelland Merit Award - Pays tribute to the accomplishments of McClelland, an ardent advocate for professional recognition who was the first woman president of the American Institute of Decorators (now ASID) from 1941 to 1944. First presented in 2011, the award honors an individual, organization, manufacturer or research team for outstanding support of the interior design profession.
To learn more about the awards, eligibility and criteria, previous winners and how to submit a nomination visit www.asid.org/awards.

It started with a fascination with surfing. Phil Dexter wanted to bring the waves to Arizona; and so plans were made, designs sketched and within a year of construction, his dream waterpark Big Surf opened to the public — with just one wave pool.
This was the first of its kind to ever be built in the country, and the park has recently opened for this summer season.
Since the park's opening in 1969, Big Surf has been expanding and adapting to meet the needs of their park guests. And this season, they've added various features and specials.
While its the wave pool that attracts visitors, according to Jeff Golner, spokesperson for Big Surf, the waterpark has something for virtually everyone.
"Our wave pool is obviously our main feature," Golner says. "We have everything for every age, from the toddler that wants to splash around in Captain Cook's Landing, to the wave pool being relatively advanced; and we have some other slides that are really serious and quick, but very steep and thrilling."
Not only does Big Surf offer water activities, including surf sessions every day at 5:30 p.m., but corporate and group outings have become a big hit as well, Golner says.
"We've seen a lot of interest in major corporations and small business utilizing the park as employee outings or event consigning tickets for employee's use," Golner says. "We're up 35 percent over where corporate and group outings were last year, and it's continuing to trend up."
In order for Big Surf to reach its goal of 150,000 attendees, the park is offering specials during the week via social media in order to attract, increase and connect with its audience.
"We're also focusing a lot of our advertising with deals," Golner says. "We know that the economy is rough right now so we're definitely engaging in putting out lots of coupons."
Two specials include two-for-one on Tuesdays, and on Wednesdays all Big Surf attendees pay the children's admittance fee.
"This is a great water park," Golner says. "It's a great place to cool off but the atmosphere is extremely family friendly; it's very affordable as well."

Jon Bon Jovi helps open housing development in Philadelphia
Listen to Bon Jovi on iHeartRadio
Jon Bon Jovi is taking an active step in helping the homeless. The Bon Jovi frontman was on hand for Tuesday's grand opening event for JBJ Soul Homes, a new housing development in Philadelphia named in the rocker's honor.
The complex, funded in part by the singer's JBJ Soul Foundation, includes retail and office space along with 55 apartments. The residential units will provide affordable housing for people who would otherwise be homeless, as well as young adults aging out of the foster care system and other low-income individuals.
JBJ Soul Homes is affiliated with Project HOME, which is also helping residents with medical care, job training, and other enrichment services.

You couldn't get more farm-to-table than the banquet served to more than 200 guests at the Ecology Center's fifth annual Green Feast.
Foodies, environmentalists and gardeners strolled the grounds tasting and voting for their favorite appetizers in the "Eco App Off" while waiting for dinner. Winning chef Noah Blom of Arc Restaurant in Costa Mesa served coal-roasted pork and caviar-stuffed Yukon gold potatoes with crisp duck, topped with quail eggs. He'll be invited back as one of the main entree chefs next year.
The sun set behind the two long, communal tables as the four-course, 10-chef sit-down dinner was served. With 150 pounds of meat donated by Cook Pigs Ranch, diners enjoyed a main course of pork shoulder confit and Julian hard cider-braised pork belly by Rob Wilson of the Montage and Ryan Adams of Three Seventy Common.
"You're eating them to preserve them," said Cook Pigs Ranch co-owner Krystina Cook, describing the rare pigs they raise in Julian. "They have a lot of fat, like pigs should, and are pasture raised. We have a completely sustainable, 15-acre farm; we live the concept of farm-to-table."
The Ecology Center, a nonprofit educational operation in San Juan Capistrano, teaches ecology and sustainability on-site at its one-acre farm and historic Congdon Farmhouse (built in 1878) general store.
"This was a dirt lot five years ago," said the center's founder and executive director, Evan Marks of San Clemente. "I wanted to create a place we could all share. I believe we can make a positive impact on the environment and our community."
The nonprofit center teaches organic and sustainable farming and living in 10 schools in Orange and San Diego counties. "We grow all kinds of things here," said Marks with a smile, "Especially fertile minds."

New Backstreet Boys album to be released July 30th
Listen to Backstreet Boys on iHeartRadio
The Backstreet Boys continue to reveal more details about their 20th anniversary comeback. The group has announced their new album In A World Like This will get its official release on July 30th - three days before they kick off a North American tour. The album's first single of the same name is also set to drop on June 25th.
The Backstreet Boys appeared on Wednesday's "Good Morning America" to premiere a new song from the album called "Permanent Stain." Starting Friday, fans who purchase tickets for the tour will get "Permanent Stain" as a free download.
The album and tour announcements come on the heels of the Backstreet Boys' 20th anniversary celebration in Los Angeles last month where the group was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
In A World Like This will be the group's first album with all five members on board in seven years. It marks the return of Kevin Richardson, who left the group shortly after 2005's Never Gone.

Notable Facts Barbara is a versatile grape, once frequently used for blending because it can throw structure into a lighter wine and yet give softness to one that was overly tannic. It is now lauded as a sole variety for the same versatility. Pure Barbara wines from the Piedmont are rustic, as many Italian wines can be, but demonstrate round fruit flavors and zesty acidity that make it easy drinking upon release. The wine occasionally sees oak, and Barbara from a strong vintage and good winemaker can gain character with a few years of ageing. That said, most Barbara-based wines are ready upon release to show their bright fruit flavors, smooth tannins and structured acidity.

Polycythemia vera is a bone marrow disease that leads to an abnormal increase in the number of blood cells (primarily red blood cells).
Polycythemia vera is a disorder of the bone marrow. It mainly causes too much production of red blood cells, although the numbers of white blood cells and platelets are also increased.
It is a rare disease that occurs more often in men than women, and is rare in patients under age 40. It is usually associated with a gene mutation called JAK2V617F. The cause of this mutation is unknown.
- Breathing difficulty when lying down
- Dizziness
- Excessive bleeding
- Fullness in the left upper abdomen (due to enlarged spleen)
- Headache
- Itchiness, especially after a warm bath
- Red coloring, especially of the face
- Shortness of breath
- Symptoms of phlebitis
Note: Some of these symptoms are due to increased blood thickness and clotting.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
- Bluish skin color
- Fatigue
- Red skin spots
- Vision problems
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
- Bone marrow biopsy
- Complete blood count with differential
- Comprehensive metabolic panel
- Erythropoietin level
- Genetic test for the JAK2V617F mutation
- Oxygen saturation of the blood
- Red blood cell mass
- Vitamin B12 level
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
- Lactate dehydrogenase
- Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase
- Platelet aggregation test
- Serum uric acid
The goal of treatment is to reduce the thickness of the blood and prevent bleeding and clotting.
A method called phlebotomy is used to decrease blood thickness. One unit of blood (about 1 pint) is removed weekly until the hematocrit level is less than 45 (males) or 42 (females). Then therapy is continued as needed.
Occasionally, chemotherapy (specifically hydroxyurea) may be given to reduce the number of red blood cells made by the bone marrow. Interferon may also be given to lower blood counts. A medicine called anagrelide may be given to lower platelet counts.
Some patients are advised to take aspirin to reduce the risk of blood clots, though it increases the risk for stomach bleeding. Ultraviolet-B light therapy can reduce the severe itching some patients experience.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The disease usually develops slowly. Most patients do not experience any problems related to the disease after being diagnosed. The condition is often diagnosed before severe symptoms occur.
Possible Complications
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
- Bleeding from the stomach or other parts of the intestinal tract
- Gout
- Heart failure
- Myelofibrosis
- Thrombosis (blood clotting, which can cause a stroke, heart attack, or other body damage)
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if symptoms of polycythemia vera develop.

I seem to have a similar problem, using an Intel 5300 AGN card. I wonder if you ever found a solution to your problem.
I can monitor without any problems, aireplay -9 even says injection works when trying broadcast probes, but targeted probes do not work (actually one goes through, then the rest don't). As soon as I try aireplay-ng -3 it seems to generate a problem. Basically aireplay-ng -1 works, as many times as I try it, and after aireplay-ng -3 starts, I can capture a few ARP packets,but after sending packets, I get no ACKs at all. If I then stop and try aireplay-ng -1 again, I never can associate again, it no longer seems to work. I have to stop monitor/injection mode and restart it to be able to have aireplay-ng -1 start working again.Really weird.
If you or anyone else has an idea why this is happening, I would really be grateful,

Report: Prince planning spring tour
Listen to Prince on iHeartRadio
Prince is planning to hit the road this spring. The reclusive rocker gave a dynamic performance Friday night on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," which Fallon introduced by saying Prince would be launching a West Coast trek in April.
Prince then demonstrated what concertgoers might if he plays any shows. His two-song set paired his most recent release, "Screwdriver," with 1979's "Bambi." He closed the performance with the vintage tune, which ended with him tossing his guitar into the air and letting it smash to the stage as he walked off.
Prince hasn't made an official tour announcement yet. According to Pollstar.com, Prince's schedule only includes three performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in July.
Rumors of a Prince tour have been circulating since January, when he was reportedly auditioning drummers for an upcoming road trip. Prince also released "Screwdriver" in January. At the time he explained that it wasn't the start of a new album, but simply a track he wanted to put out.

A water bomber flies over forest near Moosehead Lake, about 10 kilometres east of Labrador City June 24, 2013.
— Photo by Neil Simmons/Special to The Telegram
Halifax — A water bomber owned by the Newfoundland and Labrador government that crashed on Moosehead Lake last year took on too much water, which was a central cause in the plane failing to get airborne, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Thursday.
The aircraft owned by the government's air service division came to rest upright on the lake and partially submerged, the board said in releasing its investigation report into the accident.
There were no injuries to the two crew members, but the board said the aircraft was destroyed.
The Bombardier CL-415 amphibious aircraft left Wabush on July 3, 2013, in mid-afternoon to fight a nearby forest fire.
A short time later, the water bomber touched down on Moosehead Lake to scoop a load of water. The safety board said about 40 seconds later, the captain initiated a left-hand turn and almost immediately lost control.
"The investigation also found that the flight crew was occupied with other flight activities during the scooping run and did not notice that the water quantity exceeded the predetermined limit until after the tanks had filled to capacity," the board said in a news release. "The flight crew then decided to continue the takeoff with the aircraft in an overweight condition."
The crew waited to be rescued by a boat from the top of the wing.
The board said its investigation also found a switch that controls probes used to scoop water from a lake was inadvertently moved to the auto position from manual. The switch is not included on the pilots' checklist, although that has changed since the crash.
"If a checklist does not include a critical item, and flight crews are expected to rely on their memory, then there is a risk that the item will be missed and safety could be jeopardized," the board said.
It said the government has made some safety changes since the crash, including to the way safety gear is stored and secured, and it has installed portable satellite telephones in its aircraft. Water bomber pilots and maintenance personnel will also get new training.

Are you sure you selected the right encryption on WICD ? Also have you tried manually connecting ?
Okay, so I have an HP netbook. In WICD I can see all of the wireless connections but when i connect to lets say an unsecured network I get a message that says it can't find/set an IP address. Also, when I try my wireless router which is wpa2 secured, (i know the password) the wireless manager thing hangs at the validating part which then says it is a bad password. Any idea what this is all about?
Are you sure you selected the right encryption on WICD ? Also have you tried manually connecting ?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Definitely research manually connecting. You'll be much more prepared to troubleshoot and or repair the GUI connections. Sometimes wpa_supplicant requires special definitions in the conf file. Hidden SSIDs for instance need a special type of entry to work. Here is what I use for mine.
Here it is shown using my device's default SSID. I've omitted my PSK string and hash, but these are normally generated using the wpa_passphase command. I believe in this case the scan_ssid and key_mgmt as well as proto variables were added.Code:darkside-ng ~ # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa.conf network={ ssid="dd-wrt" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK #psk="" psk= }
Definitly have a quick read of

If I were you just double check your WICD is started and then from there you can run the WICD manager and try connect. I know i have used WICD and the iwconfig to connect to my WPA2 wireless without hassles.

Britt Nicole's Favorite Things
Listen to Britt Nicole on iHeartRadio
An inspiration to her fans, Britt Nicole is spreading many positive messages through her music. Her album Gold quickly climbed the charts, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
The lead single off the album, also called "Gold," was inspired by her fans and yields the message "know your own value." She tells iHeartRadio, "I started thinking about my fans and all the stuff that they share with me, 'I don't fit in at school' or 'I'm being bullied at school' or even like moms saying, 'I feel like I'm not the best mom.' Just all different ages of people feeling like they weren't good enough and I was having a day like that, so I felt this was the message that I need to hear."
Get to know the golden girl better, including some of her favorite things!
What is your favorite song to dance to when no one is watching?
That's a good one. My dad used to, well I can think of a couple songs but, my dad used to always sing "Brown Eyed Girl" to me and we used to always dance to that when I was little and we danced to that at my wedding so that's my favorite song to dance to. And I love pop music, I grew up taking dance, so anything that is upbeat and fun. When I think of dancing I think of my dad.
What is your favorite fan moment?
You know, my favorite thing about making music is meeting the fans and getting to hear their stories and I can think of so many young girls that I've met that have said, I heard your song and it helped me not struggle with an eating disorder or stuff like that, [and] that's just life changing to me. So those are my favorite moments honestly with them, even though sometimes they're hard moments and the fans might even be crying. I had a fan yesterday, I had a meet and greet, that started crying and one of the girls that was traveling with me was like, is that weird? Is that awkward for you to experience that? But you know, I love those moments because I feel like they can open up and just share their heart and their stories with me and that's what I want to do as an artist.
What is your favorite food to pig out on?
Probably burgers, I've had 2 burgers the last 2 nights. I love burgers and I'm having a baby this summer, so I love burgers right now but I love healthy stuff too. I love sushi, which I can't have when I'm pregnant which is a bummer but yea, I'd say that a good burger is probably my favorite.
What is your favorite hometown hangout?
There's a place, I always want to go there, it's like not my favorite because everyone is there so you know you're going to see everyone but there's a place called Gary's Barbeque and I've been going there since I was a little girl. So every time I go home I have to go there, they have good burgers, good barbeque, good cherry lemon Sun Drop, I don't know if you guys have that. It's a drink. Sun Drop is like a Coke or a Sprite but it's a different kind of pop. Cherry and lemon, it's really really good. It's my favorite drink and they don't have them hardly anywhere except for like,
Who is your favorite artist at the moment?
I like Coldplay a lot. I like bands, I like Mumford and Sons, yea I like any artist that have passion and I feel like Coldplay is so passionate about their music, and when you see their live show it's incredible. So they're one of my favorites. I haven't been to a show, I had tickets but I had to give them away because I had a show so I was bummed but I'll watch their live
What is your favorite song on your iPod playlist?
Well one that I listen to a lot right now is Mat Kearney "Ships In The Night", my husband actually is a song writer and a producer and he helped produce that song and write that song and it makes me think of him. Me and my husband both travel a lot and don't get to see each other a ton so that song makes me think of him and I listen to it a lot when I'm away from him.
Who is your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
I used to read my Twitter all the time lately I haven't been reading it as much. Do you know Angela Johnson? She's a comedian and she's really funny and one of my friends ended up marrying her, and so I love her. She's a really sweet girl and hilarious so, she Tweets about her family and also really funny stuff.
What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas, for sure. Just like getting together with my family and seeing everyone. We have a lot of traditions at Christmas that we do as a family, pigging out, I love it.
What is your favorite thing of yours to wear of all time?
I like summer clothes, I'm a summer girl. I grew up close to the beach, a couple hours, so I love shorts, flip flops, my bathing suit. I love being by the beach, but in the winter like right now in NY I have a leather jacket that I pretty much wear every day. It's easy it always looks cute so I like wearing that as well.
What is your favorite motto?
It's not anything anyone has said but just, "be who you are." I think for me, when I started doing music and I was a new artist I felt like I would walk into a room and go "ok, what does this tour want me to be and what does this person want me to be," instead of just walking in and being who I am. That's a message I'm always saying to my fans so it's one of my favorites.
What is your favorite thing to order from the coffee shop?
Vanilla Soy Latte. I used to like the White Mocha's from Starbucks but they're a little too sweet and they're bad for you.
What is your favorite viral YouTube video of the moment?
The goat this is hilarious right now I just saw those like 3 days ago at a radio show, they were like, "you have to see this!" I would probably say I like the "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That video," I just think it's hilarious. The first time I watched it I died laughing and I still think it's funny and I've seen it like 20 times so I like that. There's another video, it's not super viral, well it has tons of views but I feel like it's a little bit of an older video. It's a guy that's from like Sweden or something, but he made a video basically of him doing all these pranks and one of them he's dressed in a snow costume and he's on the interstate like crawling and there's huge traffic jams so I love pranks and stuff like that so that's some of my favorites too.
What is your favorite funny movie to watch when you need a good laugh?
I like "13 Going on 30," chick flicks, I like "Bride Wars," and "50 First Dates."
What is your favorite color to paint your nails?
I like pink, I like mixing it up but I kind of like dark colors. Right now I have pink on but I like doing dark on my nails a lot so like a navy or a black, something like that.
Who's your favorite inspirational person?
I would probably say my brother. We've always been super close, we're 15 months apart and he used to sing at this youth center, he would lead the music there and I've always looked up to him. He always reminds me of who I am and he's just really special to me. I feel like I look to him for inspiration a lot. My grandfather had a church in
What is your favorite thing to do at the airport?
Sleep if I can, I can't get comfortable. I'm on my phone a lot so if I'm not working I like to be on Instagram or Twitter. Sometimes we get bored and me and my band make up games we're like, "let's try and figure out every persons name that passes by." We actually yell out the names, we'll be like "John!" And some people will be like, how do you know my name? and we're like, "yea, we got it right!" So we'll make up games. But anything we can do to entertain ourselves. Sometimes I want to chill because that's like the moment that, even though we fly a lot, it's kind of nice to take a break and just breathe so I'll try and sleep or get on my phone and kind of stay to myself sometimes too.
Just got off my first train! I liked it! Now I'm in NYC! :) instagr.am/p/WOFmUogSd2/— Britt Nicole (@itsbrittnicole) February 27, 2013
What is your favorite way to travel?
I just took a train and that was actually nice. I didn't know if I was going to like it. The one part I don't like is when you're waiting for the train and you're standing outside and it's raining or it's cold and you're just like, "I wish I was in an airport warm right now." But I did like it because you can be on your phone and I'm taking another train today so I'm like, ok I'm getting used to the trains, but I think my favorite is the bus- being on there with my band and my dancers and sometimes my husband will travel with us. It kind of is like a home away from home. We make it comfy and make it nice and you can cook on there and so even though it takes longer to travel it's probably my favorite, because when you finish your show you're like, "uh I can go to the bus and like chill and watch TV and relax." You don't really have that if you're going to the airport of getting on a train, so that's my favorite.

Labor Dept.: Same-Sex Spouses Have Benefit Rights
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Labor Department says legally married same-sex couples have the right to participate in employee benefit plans even if they live in states that don't recognize their union.
The new guidance means gay spouses enjoy the same rights as other married couples when it comes to pensions, 401Ks, health plans and health savings accounts.
The interpretation is consistent with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service last month that legally married gay couples can file joint federal tax returns even if they reside in states that do not recognize same-sex marriages.
Labor Secretary Thomas Perez calls the decision a "historic step toward equality for all American families." The decision clarifies questions left unanswered after the Supreme Court's ruling in June which invalidated part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.

3 Minute Read
One of the most common pieces of advice you'll hear on The Dave Ramsey Show is pretty simple: Sell the car!
Dave will generally say that after a caller reveals they have a bunch of their debt tied up in a car loan. Getting rid of the car is the easiest way to dump a bunch of dead-weight debt.
But sometimes, selling the car isn't so easy. What if you're "upside-down"—you owe more on the loan than the car is worth? What does Dave suggest doing in that situation?
Local experts you can trust.Find an ELP
His advice might surprise you. When Tonya, a recent caller to The Dave Ramsey Show, asked Dave how to sell an upside-down car, here's what he said:
You have to borrow the difference. I'm assuming you don't have the cash. Let's say you owe $17,000 on the car, and it's worth $13,000. That would leave you $4,000 in the hole, and so you'd have to borrow $4,000.
How do you do that? Your best source is to borrow it from the company that has the car loan now. If you have it at a local credit union or a bank, you could go and sit down with someone and say, "I'd rather owe you $4,000 than $17,000 because I'm what's known as broke. Let me sign a note for whatever the car doesn't bring. Whatever the car does bring will be applied to the loan, and you'll release the title."
You can usually negotiate that if you have a small, local community bank or a credit union, because they actually have a brain. If the car loan is with a major national car company, you won't get this to happen. You will simply have to go borrow the money—the $4,000—from your credit union. Hopefully your credit is good enough to do that. But in order to get the title release, you have to pay the loan off or have permission from the lender that has the lien on the title. That's the big problem. But it's very, very doable. It happens all the time.
You May Also Like
Wait a minute; Dave said to borrow money?
In this very specific situation, yes he did. Like he said, you would rather owe $4,000 to a credit union than $17,000 to a big car company. It's a matter of the lesser of two evils.
So if you're one of the many people stuck in an upside-down car—not literally, of course—then give this approach a try. And remember, if you do sell the car and take on a smaller loan, the idea is to pay it off as quickly as possible. Work it into your debt snowball and get gazelle intense!

This is the leather money clip inlaid with an authentic New York City subway token, the city's secondary currency that fed turnstiles for 50 years starting in 1953. Introduced when the transit authority raised fares to 15 cents yet wanted to handle only a single coin, the classic clinking token went through five redesigns before it was replaced in 2003 by reloadable cards. This slim money clip incorporates the quarter-sized version used between 1970 and 1980, with the raised "New York City Transit Authority" legend and the "Y" in the middle "NYC" stamp cut out. Behind the token is a powerful magnet that clamps down on a single bill or a thick wad of cash. Two back pockets store credit and business cards, while a central vertical pocket holds a driver's license or plastic subway fare card. Presented in a gift box with certificate of authenticity. Black. 3 3/4" L x 3" W x 1/3" D. (1 1/2 oz.)

Edgar Allan Poe is being celebrated in October
The University's Arts Institute has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to sponsor a celebration of Edgar Allan Poe as part of The Big Read, a national initiative that brings communities together to read, discuss, and celebrate literature.
The $14,750 grant, which the institute received on its initial application, will help sponsor nearly 30 events during October, many of them featuring Carolina students and faculty, in Columbia and across the state. All events are free, and all participants will receive a copy of the featured book, Great Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth.
The Big Read is an NEA initiative in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest. The 268 Big Read grantees for 2009-10 represent 44 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Since the program began in 2006 with 10 participating organizations, the NEA has given more than 800 grants to support local Big Read projects.
"This is very exciting, for this grant has allowed us to create innovative arts-based events on a statewide level that showcase Carolina scholars, artists, and students," said Charlene Spearen, program coordinator for the Arts Institute.
The Arts Institute seeks to encourage collaboration among the arts disciplines and to make the University's cultural arts more visible to students and the community. The Arts Institute encourages and oversees interdepartmental projects in the arts, creates programs to make arts a more vital part of student life, and maintains a Web site that pulls together all arts-related activities, events, and outreach for easy access by the community.
Kwame Dawes, the Louise Fry Scudder professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, is the director of the Arts Institute.

Several of the events will showcase the talents of Carolina students.
Emerging senior poets from the University will join with award-winning puppeteers from the Columbia Marionette Theatre to bring to life some of the works included in The Big Read's featured book. "'The Tell-Tale Heart' and Poems and Stories by Edgar Allan Poe" will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Richland County Public Library, 1431 Assembly St.; from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at the Richland County Public Library, North Main Branch, 5306 N. Main St.; and from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Richland County Library, Southeast Regional Branch, 741 Garners Ferry Road.

By default it has support for the Ralink RT3572 chipset, but it only works once in a while. for example, in order to get monitor mode to work, I would have to enable and disable monitor mode as much as 30 times before it finally scans and successfully goes into monitor mode, after which point aircrack can work normally for a few minutes before it stops sending or receiving data.
the card is a Rosewill RNX-N600UBE Wireless Dual Band Adapter
it has linux drivers but I cant get them installed
the zip file contains a driver named 2011_0427_RT3572_Linux_STA_v220.127.116.11.DPO.bz2 (and no instructions are provided on how to get them installed
by default backtrack 5 see the device as a rt2070/rt3070 and USB driver RT2800
The card is almost unusable with the default drivers, any attempt to connect to a wifi network results in an error Unable to connect Wicd D-BUS interface
Is there any way to fix this (I am still pretty new to backtrack)?

Not bad
By Why do you have to give a nickname?
from Raleigh, NC
This swag is actually prettier than the picture shown in the catalog. With that being said, the battery compartment on the back is huge causing it to stand out from the brick. The plastic mesh backing is extremely large and the greenery does not cover the sides so it had to be trimmed. One of the ornaments was hanging and a pine cone was crushed. Pretty but needs work!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Neighbors are jealous

Best Uses
I have had these up for a week. My neighbors have been commenting on how lovely these look and asking me where I got the wreath and sconce decorations. These were of better quality than similar decorations from the two big home improvement chains. These have survived the rain with no problem. I am very happy with my purchases.

I have only used Lynx under very specific circumstances - once to download text representations of a list of webpages so I could do word searches through them, and once to download new NVidia drivers after a kernel update killed my X Server. Just use Firefox for your browsing - theres no shame in it and you can still use the console for a lot of other tasks.

BELLEVUE -- From Belvedere's vantage point at the summit of Cougar Mountain, future homeowners are afforded a bird's-eye view of Lake Washington, the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains.
"That westerly view is one of the key reasons the community has been selling so quickly," says sales manager Stephanie Shurtliff. "We just opened our sales center in September and already we have 15 sales -- it's amazing.
"All of the homes are being sold presale, so now is a great time to walk around the plat with us to choose your homesite. With so many beautiful west-facing viewpoints, it will be an excellent neighborhood for watching the sunset," she says.
Belvedere is a collection of 81 four- to six-bedroom homes being built on quarter-acre homesites. The community is surrounded on three sides by the 3,100-acre Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
Built by CamWest, a Toll Brothers company, the community has 42 homes available for purchase. "Most will have at least a partial view," Shurtliff says.
One of Belvedere's first homebuyers is Karen Lowder. She and her husband, Jeff, live in the nearby Lakemont neighborhood.
"We live three blocks away from Belvedere, so the minute they put the homes on the market, we jumped at the chance," Lowder says. "We were the first sales appointment that they had."
Through the builder's CamYes! program, buyers work one-on-one with the community's senior project manager, Todd Whetten, to customize the design of their home.
"One of the big appeals for us was CamWest's philosophy of customizing your house as much as you want," Lowder says. "I have a design background, and being able to make the home perfect for us was important to me.
"I've been working with the project manager on all of the customization. I'm moving walls and bathrooms, and updating bathroom and lighting fixtures. I have yet to hear a 'no' to any customization request. The homebuilder is very accommodating."
Homes are available in a variety of design styles, including Craftsman, Tudor, Shingle and Contemporary. The Contemporary design features extensive use of cedar-wrap detailing and stone accents.
"The Contemporary is a completely new design and has been very well-received -- it's unlike anything we have offered before," Shurtliff says. "It's nice that we have something for everyone's tastes."
All homes at Belvedere will include daylight basements, curved staircases, two-story great rooms and dining rooms, and private guest suites. The master suites feature sitting areas, five-piece baths and dual walk-in closets.
Homes include three- or four-car garages, and the community will have two neighborhood parks.
Belvedere is located one block from a trailhead to the Issaquah Alps trail system. Nearby are amenities and conveniences such as The Golf Club at Newcastle, Sahalee Country Club, a grocery store and a Starbucks.
Toll Brothers was named 2012 Builder of the Year by Professional Builder magazine, becoming the first builder to win the honor twice. Its recent purchase of CamWest Development, LLC -- which has been building homes locally for more than 20 years -- expands the company's reach to the Pacific Northwest.
Founded in 1967, Toll Brothers is now building homes in 20 states.

They were one of the hottest television couples of the 1990s as Monica Gellar and Chandler Bing on "Friends," and now Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox will appear on the small screen together again.
According to TBS, the "Fools Rush In" hunk will appear on a winter episode of "Cougar Town," though there's no word on his character.
Enjoying a sunny day on the beach at work, Courteney Cox filmed "Cougar Town" in Los Angeles on Tuesday (October 22).
The "Friends" star wore a black sleeveless top and blue jeans as she scurried on the hot sand before changing into some pink galoshes to protect her feet.
To the delight of Courteney Cox fans everywhere, TBS announced that it will renew "Cougar Town" for a fifth season.
Confirming the news to her Twitter fans, the "Friends" star tweeted on Monday (March 25), "So thrilled to say we're coming back for Season 5!! #cougartownrenewed."
Taking care of some promotional duties, Busy Philipps stopped by "Good Morning America" on Monday (January 7).
The "Cougar Town" star showed off her growing baby bump in a tan trench coat, changing into a blue long sleeved sweater dress during her interview.
Looking bright and cheerful, Courteney Cox hit up Venice beach to shoot scenes for "Cougar Town" on Friday (December 21).
The "Friends" star wore an orange-and-pink block sweater and bright orange jacket with her blue jeans and Ugg boots, as she huddled close to costar Josh Hopkins between takes.
Getting in a bit of holiday shopping, Courteney Cox went out for some retail therapy in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday (December 19).
Joined by a male companion, the former "Friends" star looked cute in a gray sweater, blue jeans, and black boots as the pair made a stop at Maxfield and James Perse on Melrose Avenue.
Making an appearance to promote her third season of "Cougar Town," Courteney Cox sat down for a visit with "Good Morning America" earlier today (February 14).
The "Scream" actress looked polished in black slacks and a pretty blue top as she chatted about the new season of her comedy series, which kicks off tonight!
Making for quite the fun-filled workday, Courteney Cox was spotted filming scenes for "Cougar Town" on the beaches of Malibu, CA on Thursday (October 27).
The Jules Cobb babe showed off her slim figure in a wetsuit as she hopped on a wave-runner for a couple of the scenes while seeming to be having a marvelous time while surrounded by a gaggle of hunky guys in between takes.

Research ››› ››› SHANT MESROBIAN
On May 6, New York Post Washington bureau chief Deborah Orin repeated Dr. Louis Letson's claims that Senator John Kerry got his first Purple Heart for a non-combat wound -- despite reports in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times one day earlier that, according to the Kerry campaign, Letson was not the medical official who signed Kerry's medical records for the wound.
Orin wrote, "Dr. Letson said the wound was minor 'like a splinter'. Kerry's crew members said they thought it was caused when he fired a mortar at close range at some rocks and a fragment ricocheted back from the mortar round and hit him." But Orin did not include a response from the Kerry campaign. The day before, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times did, reporting that Kerry campaign spokesperson Michael Meehan noted that a medical official other than Letson signed the "sick call sheet" summarizing treatment of Kerry's wound; Letson claims to remember treating Kerry's wound.
Also on May 6, the New York Post reprinted a May 4 National Review Online report by National Review White House correspondent Byron York that presented Letson's wholly unverified account.
Neither the New York Post nor York reported the fact that Letson is a member of the newly formed group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; the group held a press conference on May 4 to discredit Kerry's record during and after his service in Vietnam.
When it appeared in its second iteration on the "Post Opinion" page of the New York Post, York's piece differed from his original in only one instance. In the original version, the first sentence of the second paragraph reads, "Kerry was treated for the wound at a medical facility in Cam Ranh Bay." In the version printed by the New York Post, the sentence reads, "Kerry was treated at a medical facility in Cam Ranh Bay." The New York Post left out the phrase "for the wound."
The New York Post followed other conservative news sources in picking up York's report, beginning with DrudgeReport.com on May 4. On May 5, WorldNetDaily.com cited York's National Review Online piece; OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto republished Letson's account; and The New York Sun's article on the Swift Boat Vets quoted Letson's recollections of Kerry's wound at length but did not cite York.
Also on May 5, radio host Rush Limbaugh quoted "mainstream Washington reporter" Byron York:
Let me get this story out. The National Review Online, Byron York, who is mainstream Washington reporter, "Kerry was treated for the wound," he writes. This is the doctor -- the doctor has stopped talking here about this, but -- at any rate, he went to the doctor apparently. He [Kerry] made up a story about enemy fire. He wasn't going to waste a perfectly good superficial wound.
None of these news sources mentioned Kerry spokesman Meehan's assertion that a different medical official's signature appeared on records of treatment for Kerry's wound.

Strengthening quantitative skills
It is recommended that students whose basic quantitative analysis skills are weak should also take a non-examined module: Quantitative methods (CF04) at or near the start of their studies. Study materials may be obtained from CeDEP's online learning environment. Printed material and tutorial support may be provided at cost.
Teaching and Learning
Teaching & Learning
1. Academic level
All CeDEP programmes are taught to Master's (Second Cycle) level, which involves building upon existing knowledge and understanding typically associated with the Bachelor's (First Cycle) level or its equivalent. Study at Master's level requires:
- originality in developing and/or applying ideas, and extending or enhancing previous learning
- application of knowledge and understanding, including problem solving in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts
- integration of knowledge and handling of complexity
- formulating judgements with incomplete or limited information, including reflection on social and ethical responsibilities
- clear and unambiguous communication of conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences
- learning skills to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous
Prospective students should note that distance education of this kind demands a high degree of commitment, determination and self-discipline. Whilst CeDEP provides significant support through the tutorial system and by other means, students taking on programmes of this nature should possess a strong measure of self-reliance.
2. Study Expectations
How long will it take?
For students in full time employment, the MSc and Postgraduate Diploma, usually take three or four years to complete and the Certificate 2 years.
|Master of Science (MSc)
|Postgraduate Diploma
|Postgraduate Certificate
|Minimum registration period
|2 years*
|2 years
|1 years
|Maximum registration period
|5 years
|5 years
|5 years
* For students wishing to complete their MSc in two years they should start the Research Component in year 1.
When can I study?
You can begin your studies in either February or June. The examinations for all students are in October. The study periods are 30 weeks for students starting in February and 15 weeks for those starting in June.
How many hours a week?
For the 30 week study period starting in February, you will need to allocate 5–6 hours of study time per module, per week. For students starting their studies in June with the shorter 15 week session, 10–12 hours per module, per week is recommended.
How many modules can I take per study year?
We strongly recommend that students should take only one or two modules in their first year, so that they can adjust to studying at a distance, whilst combining this with work and family life.
Students wishing to register for more than three modules in their first year should satisfy their academic programme convenor that their personal circumstances will allow sufficient study time for this on a weekly basis (e.g. those students not in employment or in part-time employment).
3. Assessment
How you will be assessed
For each module you will sit a two-hour unseen examination held on a specific date in October, worth 80% of your total module mark. There is also an Examined Assignment (worth 20% of the total module mark) which is submitted during the study year and marked by your tutor.
Examination arrangements
Examinations are held in students' countries of residence, using the University of London's network of approved Overseas Examination Authorities. Fees for taking examinations at all examination centres other than London are the responsibility of the student.
Assignments are submitted to CeDEP electronically via the online learning environment.
