(0,4) dualities
We study a class of two-dimensional N = (0; 4) quiver gauge theories that flow to superconformal field theories. We find dualities for the superconformal field theories similar to the 4d N = 2 theories of class S, labelled by a Riemann surface C. The dual descriptions arise from various pair-of-pants decompositions, that involve an analog of the T N theory. Especially, we find the superconformal indices of such theories can be written in terms of a topological field theory on C. In conclusion, we interpret this class of SCFTs as the ones coming from compactifying 6d N = (2; 0) theory on CP 1 x C. Moreover, some new dualities of (0; 2) and (2; 2) theories are also discussed.

- Umphreys McGee Live at Soundstage
Ill be honest, I just dont get Umphreys McGee. Friends whose musical tastes mirror mine have heartily recommended them, but the live shows Ive heard have left me cold. Nevertheless, they perform with a bewildering array of stylistically incongruous bands, having done double bills with everyone from Yonder Mountain String Band to the New Deal. Guitarist Brendan Bayliss is apparently writing slash-your-wrists country songs with Jeff Austin, and thats certainly enough to pique my interest, so when this DVD hit my inbox, I was genuinely looking forward to seeing it.
I still dont get it. I mean, with this showcase set of all originals, no covers and no wild freeform segues (or Jimmy Stewarts, as the band bewilderingly calls them), I finally get what Umphreys play: its prog rock, but I still dont see how they are the fastest growing jamband in the country or indeed, if this DVD is to be believed, why they have so many women in their audience. With their double guitar/double drum set up, Umphreys remind me of King Crimson circa 1975. With the stop/go song structures quiet on the verses, noisy and angular on the choruses, the borderline metal jamming parts in the middle seemingly very rehearsed, and the incomprehensible lyrics, they are every inch a facsimile of Fripps band with some hippy dippy reggae beats thrown in for good measure. There has always been a prog element to the jamband scene. Phish have always reminded me, in their more composed moments, of pre-pop charts Genesis, and Umphreys take the prog and run with it. Playing prog, which is both fluid and intensely structured, takes some major musical chops, and the Umphreys boys certainly have those in spades. Of course, the flip side to prog is songs that have a surfeit of virtuosity and a total lack of anything emotional; its spectator music that is not participatory. And prog isnt exactly known for attracting the ladies, which makes the large number of young females in this audience, who are prominently featured by the cameras, something of a mystery.
Fans of the band will naturally love this release because the sound is spectacular, the camerawork is extremely professional, and theres over two and a half hours of music, but the unconvinced will remain mystified at Umphreys McGees popularity.

Jurors deliberated for about two hours before finding Krystle Tanner and her mother, Gloria Walker, guilty of kidnapping in the 2004 disappearance of Miguel Morin, who is now 8. Walker also was found guilty of injury to a child, while the jury found Tanner guilty of a lesser charge of reckless injury to a child.
The same jury will hear evidence in the trial's punishment phase before deciding their sentences. Walker faces up to life in prison, and Tanner could be sentenced up to 20 years.
During the four-day trial last week in San Augustine, prosecutors told jurors Tanner, who used to babysit Miguel, took the boy from his Houston apartment complex when he was a baby. They said she and her mother moved the boy from homes in Central and East Texas to avoid detection, kept him out of school and renamed him Jaquan.
After Tanner's newborn son in April 2010 tested positive for marijuana, authorities began investigating her and later determined that she had the missing boy. Tanner and Walker were arrested in March 2012.
Defense attorneys said Miguel was not kidnapped but was sold by his biological mother to Tanner. Neither Tanner, 27, nor Walker, 51, testified in their defense.
An investigator with Houston police told jurors she thought this was not a kidnapping case but one about interference with child custody because she believed the boy's parents and Tanner had an agreement related to his custody.
San Augustine County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Gary Cunningham testified there was significant evidence showing this was a case of kidnapping. The boy's mother, Auboni Champion-Morin, told jurors her son was taken by Tanner. She testified Houston police did not keep in touch with her about the case.
After being found, Miguel was placed in foster case. A judge in Houston last month placed the boy with his four siblings, who are being taken care of by a Houston-area couple, Junita and Joseph Auguillard. The Auguillards have been taking care of Miguel's siblings for nearly 10 years under an agreement they have with the boy's parents.
Miguel has been told about the true identity of his parents and his siblings, and he has been having weekly joint therapy sessions with his parents.

CA COST Action CA15123
The European research network on types for programming and verification (EUTYPES)
Types are pervasive in programming and information technology. A type defines a formal interface between software components, allowing the automatic verification of their connections, and greatly enhancing the robustness and reliability of computations and communications. In rich dependent type theories, the full functional specification of a program can be expressed as a type. Type systems have rapidly evolved over the past years, becoming more sophisticated, capturing new aspects of the behaviour of programs and the dynamics of their execution.
This COST Action will give a strong impetus to research on type theory and its many applications in computer science, by promoting (1) the synergy between theoretical computer scientists, logicians and mathematicians to develop new foundations for type theory, for example as based on the recent development of "homotopy type theory'', (2) the joint development of type theoretic tools as proof assistants and integrated programming environments, (3) the study of dependent types for programming and its deployment in software development, (4) the study of dependent types for verification and its deployment in software analysis and verification. The action will also tie together these different areas and promote cross-fertilisation.
Europe has a strong type theory community, ranging from foundational research to applications in programming languages, verification and theorem proving, which is in urgent need of better networking. A COST Action that crosses the borders will support the collaboration between groups and complementary expertise, and mobilise a critical mass of
existing type theory research.

This scroll did not pass my inspection. It has an almost invisible flaw in the silk. I am really picky about quality, so I can't sell this at full price - so instead I am taking a big loss and let it go for $39 (less than half price). Note: The ink on this one might be a little bit light for some people, but that is not considered a flaw in Chinese culture.

Gary's random little things about China:
So after traveling to China, you have just finished your first meal in a real Chinese restaurant.
But the bill comes, and the waiter forgot to bring everyone their fortune cookies!
Well, actually not...
You see, fortune cookies did not come from China (at least not directly).
One legend has it in the late 1800s or early 1900s, a Chinese man running a noodle making shop in San Francisco accidentally mixed a bunch of sugar in his dough, and didn't want to waste it. So he made cookies and stuck papers with people's fortunes on them as a novelty.
In the end, it's really the Chinese visitors to America that are confused when the waiter brings them a blob of sugary noodle dough with a piece of paper stuck in it.

|James Hazen
185 lbs
Formerly Atlantean Royal Family
James is a fit and well-built individual, but not to the extent of being overly muscled. Many describe James more as a man with moderate muscle development, not enough to suggest that he is constantly found at the gym, but enough to know he frequents them occasionally, and at the very least watches what he eats, or exercises in some other way. He has a standard build with long legs and long arms, and a pronounced, strong appearing jaw line. James's skin is slightly tanned, resulting from exposure to the sun. His hair is a dark black and kept quite short, his preferred style. He has a little bit of facial hair, usually the outline of a beard that he trims to a certain, relatively small length. His eyes are green, but are noticeably a rather dull shade than the usually bright one found in many others.
James wears what he would call comfortable clothes. He usually doesn't care much for style, and his clothes reflect that. He is found on most occasions wearing a plain white t-shirt. However, it is possible for him to wear a different colored one, including blue, black, or gray. These shirts often contain no logos or markings of any sort. James wears normal jeans, which are usually in blue, dark blue, or grey-blue. He sports a pair of running shoes, which he wears for comfort rather than style. On the occasion of extreme cold, James could be seen wearing a casual winter jacket, usually in plain colors of either gray or black.
James's tattoo is located on the left side of his neck. It is circular in shape, with eight ragged, uneven arrows extending outwards from the center. The tattoo is rather large, covered the whole side of his neck.
James is an interesting character. Because of the setting he grew up in, James had come to detest tranquil and peaceful environments. It is not necessarily that he hates the environment itself, but rather he had grown bored of its repetition. He found himself disliking the idea of life being so neat and methodical. Because of this, he hates when things go according to plan. He prefers when surprises and unexpected things happen, especially ones that take many people by surprise. Often he maintains a view of 'the bigger the surprise, the better'. James always seemed to be a fan of the idea of disorder, or at least the idea that things shouldn't always be so regulated and controlled. Yet, because he lives where he does, surprises don't come often, and James is often seen in a rather sulky mood, which is the one most people have come to believe is his genuine personality. He has taken to being aloof and unconcerned of much that goes on around him. One might often catch him taking a nap, or perhaps staring off into the sky, counting clouds, or other mundane activities. This is often because little else among people around him piques his interest. His lack of interest is seen by many as lethargic, but this state of mind is a result not of laziness, but rather of a point that he believes there is no reason to do so.
When in these moods, which he is quite often, he usually avoids conversing with others, preferring minimal contact with others. He doesn't demur from speaking his mind however, and isn't afraid of what he says. Because of that, he comes off as being quite blunt, some going as to say uncaring, which wouldn't be too far away from the truth too. The fact of the matter is that he doesn't care about almost anyone other than himself, at least genuinely. James understands that the most important person in his life is himself, and he will do anything he can, no matter how brazen or selfish, to protect and indulge himself.
Then, there's another side of James, one that comes out whenever he is finding himself enjoying something quite a lot. On the off chance that James becomes excited or passionate about something, he would often go to great lengths to maintain this state of enjoyment, even if it comes at the expense of others. Naturally this doesn't happen often, and if it does, it doesn't last for very long, James often getting easily bored or disinterested in things. However, if it does happen to be maintained for a while, James would be found in a quite different disposition, in which he is more talkative and louder.
James grew up and lived on the island of Hawaii, in the city of Honolulu. He had lived there his entire life, never once stepping foot to another country, nor another state in the United States. His parents were typical folk of the area, enjoying the peaceful environment, and relishing in the slow, calm, tranquil life. They tended not to be dwelling people, and tried to do their best to maintain this relaxing environment in their home. James grew up in this home, and knew from a fairly early age that this wasn't the life he wanted. The idea of everything being so peaceful and quaint disturbed him, often for reasons he didn't know. He found himself uncomfortable and uneasy, as if this was not the normal state of things. Still, he was in no position to do anything about it, and thus he lived in this lifestyle. His childhood and adolescent years were forgettable, nothing remotely interesting happening during them, other than the usual experiences children and teens would often go through. James went to the local schools in the area, making some friends but never keeping them for long because of his disinterest in doing most of the activities they wanted to do. Often James found himself fantasizing about things suddenly happening around town, like a building blowing up, or an airplane crashing. Maybe an animal of some sort attacking the school. James even imagined sometimes that a car crash would happen in front of him. It was weird things to imagine, but truthfully, James wished something like that could happen. Needless to say, things of that nature rarely happened. Having one of the lowest crime and accident rates in the country, life in Honolulu was slow, too slow for James.
James graduated high school normally, and began going to the local university while also taking on a job. It was slow work, and just like the environment back home, nothing much of interest to him ever seeming to happen. He hated going to social gatherings of the university, and avoided parties and other activities like that. However, he did pick up books that interested him while at the university. In his time spent, much would be in the library, reading through whatever he found intriguing. Among these included books of fictional nature. Some that he picked up to read included Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Fear by Ron Hubbard, and Dune by Frank Herbert. James was also very intrigued by the writings of Thomas Hobbes, and his book Leviathan. It was a fascinating read for him, and one of the books that influenced him the most in his life, particularly in regards to Hobbes' identification of the state of nature asBellum omnium contra omnes, as he put it, or "the war of all against all". Vivid imaginations of novels were apart of his daily daydreaming, but nothing ever came from them. James seemed to be destined with his dull life for the rest of his days. Or so he thought.
The day came when the Atlanteans revealed themselves to the world. To James, it was an event of catastrophic significance. He thought of the possibilities that could happen, but cursed that he was stuck in the environment he was in. That is, until his own Atlantean tattoo appeared on his neck. The following weeks were filled with James trying to figure out more about his ability, learning something new about it every day. James knew that something big was coming as a result of all of this. It filled him with renewed energy and excitement. The problem James now faced was trying to figure out if this event would come find him, or if he was to seek it out. Unsure, James continued to discover all he could about his ability, while quitting his university, although maintain his job for the moment, on the chance that he may need the money.

Smile enhancements
A great smile can make a huge difference to the way you look and feel, and to the way in which other people react to you. A nice smile helps you to feel confident and attractive.
We use the very latest in cosmetic dental techniques to help you achieve a significant improvement to your smile.
Tooth whitening
This is consistently the most popular treatment we offer and for good reason. Just one visit can help erase stains and make your teeth up to eight shades lighter.
Find out more about tooth whitening
Porcelain veneers
Veneers are extremely versatile and can be used to disguise a number of imperfections which is why they are so often used on TV makeovers.
They are very thin layers of porcelain – thinner than a contact lens – which are bonded to the front of your teeth giving a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Find out more about porcelain veneers
Porcelain crowns
Modern materials and techniques mean that crowns have a far more realistic appearance and feel than they used to with no black line at the gum line and none of the bulky feel that is often associated with older crowns.
Our crowns are handcrafted in a dental laboratory and made layer upon layer to give them the slightly translucent appearance of natural teeth.
Find out more about porcelain crowns
Dental implants
Dental implants are now proven to be the most successful and beneficial way of replacing a single tooth, several teeth or a full set of missing teeth.
They are strong, realistic and permanent, providing an improved appearance and the ability to eat what you want.
Find out more about dental implants
Tooth replacements
The latest techniques combined with modern materials means we can provide replacements for missing teeth that look extremely realistic and function well. We can use implants, bridgework, dentures or a combination of techniques to give you a smile that you can be proud of.
Find out more about tooth replacements
The Inman Aligner
This state-of-the-art treatment can straighten front teeth in just 8-12 weeks – a considerably shorter time than traditional orthodontic treatments and at a lower cost.
The Inman Aligner is virtually invisible and removable making it easy to still eat what you want and to clean your teeth.
Find out more about the Inman Aligner
Complete smile rejuvenation
Sometimes, if patients have severely damaged teeth through decay, dental erosion or accident, or multiple missing teeth, we may need to carry out a complete smile rejuvenation (full mouth reconstruction). This often requires a combination of different procedures such as veneers, crowns, bridges and/or dental implants.
Our dentist Neil Gerrard has considerable experience in complete smile rejuvenation, and can provide you with a new smile that looks and feels great and will last for many years.
Find out more about complete smile rejuvenation
Cosmetic bonding
Sometimes smile imperfections such as gaps between your teeth or chips and cracks in your teeth can be easily solved with cosmetic bonding. This process is simple, affordable and often completed in just one appointment.
Find out more about cosmetic bonding
Gum reshaping
If your gums are uneven, too low or there just seems to be too much of them in your smile, we can help. Gums can be reshaped or lifted often making an astonishing difference to the appearance of your smile.
Find out more about gum reshaping
Cosmetic contouring
Another quick and simple way to improve your smile. This usually pain-free procedure can reshape pointy or worn down teeth and smooth small chips and breakages, often to great effect.
Find out more about cosmetic contouring
Tooth-coloured fillings
Today's modern materials mean that tooth-coloured fillings are now virtually invisible to all but professional dentists and much longer-lasting than they used to be.
Their pleasing appearance means many patients are now asking us to replace their grey amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured ones.
Find out more about tooth-coloured fillings.

Cheryl Strayed Quotes About EyesQuotes about: Eyes
If, as a culture, we don't bear witness to grief, the burden of loss is placed entirely upon the bereaved, while the rest of us avert our eyes and wait for those in mourning to stop being sad, to let go, to move on, to cheer up. And if they don't — if they have loved too deeply, if they do wake each morning thinking, I cannot continue to live — well, then we pathologize their pain; we call their suffering a disease. We do not help them: we tell them that they need to get help.
When you meet a man in the doorway of a Mexican restaurant who later kisses you while explaining that this kiss doesn't "mean anything" because, much as he likes you, he is not interested in having a relationship with you or anyone right now, just laugh and kiss him back. Your daughter will have his sense of humor. Your son will have his eyes.

Apostles Legacy Gala
The Apostles Legacy Gala celebrates the legacy of Mother Clelia Merloni, Foundress of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Formerly known as the Apostles Legacy Dinner, the inaugural event was held in June, 2008 in Hamden, Connecticut, at the United States Provincialate. Because the Apostles also have a strong presence in St. Louis, Missouri, the Apostles Legacy Dinner debuted there as well in 2009.

I want to buy Australian. I'm looking for...
Shopping for Australian made and grown products can seem pretty confusing, but it doesn't have to be. Simply look for the famous green and gold Australian Made, Australian Grown kangaroo logo - it's been helping consumers for more than 25 years
The logo was launched by Bob Hawke in 1986 and for the first 10 years of its life was managed by the Advance Australia Foundation. These days it's administered by Australian Made Campaign Limited (AMCL), a not-for-profit company, under contract from the Federal Government. It's a registered certification trade mark, with a strict set of rules (Code of Practice) governing how it can be used. Products must be registered with AMCL and must meet the criteria in the Code of Practice to use the logo.
Independent research carried out by Roy Morgan in 2012 showed that almost all Australian consumers (98.8%) recognise the logo, and it is the logo which gives the vast majority (88.6%) of Australian consumers strong confidence that a product is Australian.
Changes to food labelling laws are coming soon. From 1 July, the Government will be incorporating the Australian Made, Australian Grown kangaroo logo into a new country-of-origin information panel, which will be mandatory for Australian food products.
Australian food products sold domestically will no longer be able to use the Australian Made, Australian Grown certification trade mark as a standalone country-of-origin symbol, and the Australian Made Campaign will no longer be able to license food products to use the logo as a country-of-origin certification trade mark. Information about the new mandatory country-of-origin information panel can be found at www.foodlabels.industry.gov.au. The Federal Government will be funding the ACCC to manage compliance of the new country-of-origin information panel for food products.
The Australian Made Campaign will continue to administer and promote the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo as a country-of-origin certification trade mark for all other classes of goods, and for use as a marketing tool in a corporate capacity. The process for obtaining a license to use the logo will remain the same. For more information, visit www.australianmade.com.au/for-business.

Men's Arm Hair Removal
Thinking of getting a men's arm hair removal? Then consider visiting Laser By Sia, a premier laser clinic offering permanent hair reduction. Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal actually results in significantly less hair growth over time.
Have you ever sat down and worked out how much your current arm hair removal methods are costing you? A monthly wax, not to mention expensive disposable razors, can add up to more than $1,000 in any given year. And this is not counting additional treatment for ingrown hairs, stubble rash and razor burn.
By comparison, Laser By Sia's men's arm hair removal will actually cost you less over time, because after your recommended number of treatments, your hair will grow back finer and lighter. After, you will only need a single or two treatments per year to keep it away!
How does laser arm hair removal work?
Another bonus of lasermen's arm hair removal is no more stubble. This is because unlike wax treatments, you do not need to wait for your arm hair to grow back in between sessions to get your next laser treatment.
And because the laser treatment instantly stops hair in the treated area from growing, you will no longer suffer from itchy, ugly ingrown hairs. Furthermore, any existing ingrown hairs will start to heal immediately following your treatment.
So, do not waste your time and money further on older hair removal methods. Instead, embrace the latest hair removal technology out of the US and get arm hair removal in your lunch hour. Laser By Sia clinics are located at Sydney's CBD, Castle Hill and near Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach at Bondi Junction. Contact us to inquire about freedom from unwanted hair now!

The last item on the morning routine for many people is checking in on sports news and updates. A lot of people do not even read up until lunch rolls around.
The problem here is that not enough time invested in the latest on your sports teams often leads to poor fantasy sports moves and a general lack of information regarding sports around the nation. And a half-hearted sports knowledge is a hard thing to hide. TeamMash founder Zachary Warner had a similar issue, but instead of living with sports news mediocrity he decided to change the game.
TeamMash is a free daily email for sports fanatics with customized content from around the web, based on the teams you follow. Even if you wake up early, TeamMash was up earlier and has your breaking sports news for you on a silver platter. The only thing that could make it more perfect would be if TeamMash served breakfast along with the email.
Its competition, sites like BleacherReport and SBNation, tends to ship out newsletters after the fact and focus more on driving traffic to their own blog content. Warner's sports news is different, he says, because "TeamMash aims to find the best sports content and drive traffic to that content, regardless of source." "Best" means relevant, new, and in line with what sports teams the subscriber cares about.
TeamMash started from humble roots, but after Warner showed his customized sports newsletter to some friends, it blew up. To date, the TeamMash daily email finds a home in over 26,500 inboxes across America. Let TeamMash help keep you informed so that the next time a coworker, friend, or in-law asks how you feel about the Los Angeles Lakers picking up Dwight Howard, your response is not "Wait…that happened?"
TeamMash was a showcased startup at the Tech Cocktail Bloomington mixer in September.

Farmingdale State College today unveiled a carport/charging station that is a major component of the $24 million Long Island Smart Energy Corridor funded by $12 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, with institutional commitments matching that amount.
The facility - the first of its kind within SUNY - is the result of collaboration with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), the U.S. Department of Energy, and Stony Brook University.
Farmingdale's "Green Growth Initiative" was developed by President Keen as part of the College's mission to develop the college as a Model of Green Technology – one of the ten goals established last year in celebration of the college's 100th anniversary. As SUNY's largest college of technology and an important economic engine for the region, Farmingdale continues to invest in sustainability.
"Led by Dr. Kamal Shahrabi, Dean of the School of Engineering Technology, the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Center (RESC) reflects Farmingdale's legacy of pioneering efforts in green technology since its founding in 1912. As we say, 'Green Then. Green Now.'" noted President Hubert Keen. "We are pleased to partner with LIPA and Stony Brook University in this pioneering demonstration project for smart electrical grids."
"SUNY, with its unparalleled scope and experience, is a national leader in energy innovation," said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. "Across New York, SUNY faculty, staff and students are involved in applied research, development and production testing to design clean energy efficient solutions. We're extremely proud of our Farmingdale and Stony Brook campuses, and most grateful to our partners for this tremendous achievement."
"This is a prime example of collaborative research yielding societal benefits," said Dr. Tim Killeen, president of The Research Foundation for SUNY and SUNY's vice chancellor for research. "Modeling the vision of SUNY's Networks of Excellence, faculty and facilities at two SUNY campuses have partnered with regional and national colleagues to bring about positive and lasting energy innovation."
The Research Foundation was responsible for overseeing and administering the grant funds for this project. SUNY has the fifth largest university-based clean energy patent portfolio in the United States.
"LIPA is proud to work with the dedicated staff from the U.S Department of Energy, Farmingdale State College, and Stony Brook University on this truly exciting project. Unique partnerships such as this one can benefit our energy future while creating jobs and strengthening our local economy. LIPA remains committed to advancing clean renewable technology and energy efficiency on Long Island, and we look forward to the creation of future projects of this scale," said Michael J. Deering, Vice President of Environmental Affairs for the Long Island Power Authority.
"We're proud to be working with our Farmingdale State colleagues and LIPA on this major award from DOE to support Smart Grid development, which can mean so much to our region," said Stony Brook Vice President for Economic Development and Dean of Engineering Yacov Shamash. "The collaboration, which includes our New York State Centers of Excellence for both Wireless and Information Technology and Advanced Energy, has great potential for making our electric grid not only smarter and better able to integrate alternate energy resources, but also more resilient and able to recover more quickly from adverse events, whether natural or human-made. New solutions are already emerging from the project and new commercializable applications will follow."
"As the first SUNY campus in the state to offer this technology, Farmingdale State College is continuing to take a leadership role in promoting clean, renewable energy. Providing this type of sustainable power will help protect the environment and enable students to learn first-hand about the benefits of clean energy," said Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr.
"President Keen and the Farmingdale College family should be congratulated for bringing the first solar-powered car charging station to a SUNY campus in the state of New York. By combining two important non-polluting fuel for clean vehicles, this innovation drives us forward into the future," said Assemblyman Bob Sweeney Chair of the Assembly Environment Conservation Committee.
"The unveiling of the new solar carport at Farmingdale State College keeps Long Island on the cutting edge of new technology. This carport and charging station, the first of their kind in the SUNY system, represents an outstanding partnership between the college and the U.S. Department of Energy. The green technology used in this new station is a direct result of the pioneering efforts put forward by the university and an exciting example of what's to come. Farmingdale remains a gem of the SUNY system and its continued investment in green technology makes the school a leader in sustainability," said Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci.
The carport/charging station, which is an important element of Farmingdale's green technology strategy, is located in a main student parking lot near Lupton Hall. It accommodates 20 electric-charged vehicles at a time, draws its power from 390 solar panels above, and produces approximately 100 kilowatts of electricity. From late May to late August (twelve weeks), 35,015 kWh were generated by the solar carport, resulting in a savings to the college of over $6,500.
For a $10 refundable deposit, students and faculty may obtain cards so they can use the charging stations for one year. On average, it takes three to four hours to charge a car. No fees will be charged for the first year of operation.
Another key element for Farmingdale is the Energy Smart House which will be equipped with smart appliances controlled by a smart meter so that the owner will be able to monitor the house's energy use at any time in any location. The house will be powered by solar, solar thermal (to supply hot water) and hydrogen fuel cell (to provide energy when the sun isn't shining). There are plans to install a renewable energy treadmill in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The Smart House will be complete later this fall.
Three newly-installed and activated wind turbines, located near silos which reflect the college's agricultural origins, are expected to contribute about 7.2 kW to the campus electric grid. LIPA's Smart Meter allows frequent monitoring of the electricity generated.
Other components of Farmingdale's green technology efforts, managed by the School of Engineering Technology's RESC, include a Commercial / Industrial demonstration site in Lupton Hall, the first accredited Solar Energy Center in the northeast, and a Sustainable Garden managed by the Department of Horticulture. RESC will focus on workforce training (over 150 technicians have been trained) and applied research in solar, wind, geothermal, alternative fuel vehicles and smart grid technology.

Nearly half of 9,400 applicants who aced the latest FDNY written exam are minorities, the city says in new court filings.
The latest figures are a significant increase over those for the previous test, in 2007, when just 38 percent of those who qualified were minorities.
The new test — created under the guidance of a court-appointed special master and other experts — was administered after years of legal wrangling in the wake of a federal court finding that the FDNY had discriminated for years against minority applicants.
The city hasn't been allowed to hire a new class of firefighters since 2007.
Of the more than 41,000 applicants who took the most recent test in March and April, only those who scored 97 or above would be considered as "likely hires," according to the city's filing in Brooklyn federal court.
There are 9,417 people who meet that criteria. Of those, 53.5 percent are white; 22.6 percent Hispanic; 19.7 percent black and 3.7 percent Asian.
And a total of 437 women would be included, which amounts to 4.6 percent.
In the 2007 tests, 19 percent of those who qualified were Hispanic, 17 percent black, 2 percent Asian and 3.5 percent women.
The city hopes the increase from five years ago will be enough for Brooklyn federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis to certify the results of the new FDNY entrance examination and allow the department to resume hiring firefighters.
If the judge approves the test, the city says it plans to hire two classes each year for the next few years.
Last year, Garaufis ruled that broader judicial oversight was necessary to assure that minority applicants were fairly treated.
The city has appealed Garaufis' decision, and the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals now is reviewing the case.
Garaufis appointed a special monitor to oversee the FDNY and mandated a series of far-reaching remedies to correct the racial imbalance at the nation's largest fire department — where blacks account for only 3 percent of all firefighters.
Darius Charney, a lawyer representing The Vulcan Society, a fraternal group of black firefighters who, along with the US Justice Department, brought the lawsuit, said, "We are very pleased. It is good to see this happen."

Aaron Ramsey to blame for Arsenal's Anderlecht collapse, says Dietmar Hamann
Champions League winner Dietmar Hamann has accused Aaron Ramsey of selfishness which eventually led to Arsenal's dramatic collapse against Anderlecht.
The Gunners allowed the unfancied Belgians to claim an unlikely draw despite leading 3-0 with 30 minutes remaining.
Now former Liverpool midfielder Hamann has launched a scathing criticism of Arsene Wenger's side, with last season's hero Ramsey bearing the brunt of his attack.
'The naivety is staggering. They were still attacking at 3-0, 3-1 with five and six men at a time,' said the retired German.
'All they were interested in was scoring goals, they didn't think about the team's success, the win. In the end they got the ultimate punishment.
'It's not acceptable for a team that wants to win trophies at the highest level.
'One thing I learned in football early on was that if you need a rest, you take it at the back. You don't run forward so you can't get back. In the end they attacked with five, six players, all interested in scoring.
'The main culprit was Ramsey. He wanted to get on the scoresheet. He wasn't interested in the team's success, whether the team was going to win or not concede and secure the three points.
'They wanted to get on the scoresheet and in the end they got punished.'

Molly Malones, located on busy Route 10, has been a popular destination in Morris County for decades. It's an Irish-style pub that is dark and cozy but a fairly quiet place. It's a sister pub of The Dublin Pub in Morristown but it lacks the vibe of a downtown establishment. It serves good food and has a large bar area. The selection of craft beer is modest but there are always a lot of Irish...
Great little Irish pub. It's a good sign when there's three out of town couples at the bar and two old couples at the tables on July 4th. It's seems that everyone that works there has been there since it opened in 1974...THATS A GOOD THING.
Molly Malones Restaurant Pub can be found at Rt-10 352. The following is offered: Bars & Pubs. The entry is present with us since Sep 9, 2010 and was last updated on Nov 14, 2013. In Whippany there are 5 other Bars & Pubs. An overview can be found here.

A while back I had started researching the (ab-)use of Child Protective Services in divorce proceedings by parents. I started talking to mental health professionals, parents who filed CPS reports and parents who had CPS reports filed against them. It is definitely a tricky subject and I was circling my thoughts on how to formulate my findings and opinions.
And then one evening last week there was the envelope on the front door from the 'Child Protective Service Team Leader'.
Yes, a CPS complaint was filed against me.
I knew Ex was a diagnosed psychopath, didn't realize how ill he really was. I never thought he would stoop this low in using the children against the mother. To sacrifice the integrity of the children to get his way in the divorce proceedings. Then again, his MMPI already showed that he has Anti-Social Personality Disorder and is a Parental Alienator, and his behavior patterns presented at trial underlined it.
CPS, Divorce and the truth
CPS investigators have the daunting task of finding the truth and protecting children against abusive parents. Innocent until proven guilty can be hard when they know that something is going on, yet can not formulate the evidence. These children are left hanging.
Talking with mental health professionals makes it clear that the timing of filing for divorce and making a report to CPS is significant for finding whether there is any truth to the allegations. Reports filed prior or at the start of the divorce proceeding hold more ground then the reports filed further down the road. Doesn't mean necisarrily they are true, but they are more likely to be true. Likewise, reports filed to CPS later down the road are less likely to be true and more a tactic of a gruntled parent to get an advantage in the divorce proceedings.
CPS is inundated with cases where parents seek an advantage in the divorce proceedings. This clouds the issue and creates scrutiny when there are real issues of abuse. Divorcing parents who want to bring real abuse to light are vilified and children end up being awarded to their abusers at an alarming rate.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are parents who abuse the system.
Filing CPS reports as a Parental Alienating Tactic
Every time a CPS report gets filed against the target parent, the child gets interviewed about the target parent. While at first the child may not have a negative image of the target parent, after being questioned, even if it is about unfounded issues, the seed of doubt is created in the child's mind.
This is a subtle, but very effective way of the alienating parent to remove the target parent from the child's life. "See, it wasn't me, CPS thought there was enough reason to investigate". The alienating parent doesn't tell the child the result of the investigation, which usually is 'unfounded' and the child perceives that persons of authority are questioning the 'safety' of the target parent. The security and love the child feels for the target parents slowly and subtly erodes.
True parental alienators have personality disorders, they will not stop until they have removed the other parent from the lives of the children. They will seek allies within friends and family, but also do not stop there, they will enlist law enforcement, the courts and CPS. Nothing new here.
Filing a CPS reports based on projections of the Phychopaths own behavior
Parents with personality disorders project their own behavior on the other parent. When I heard the allegations filed against me, I almost burst out laughing, the seriousness of the situation prevented me from doing so. One of the allegations was 'unsanitary living arrangements with dog feces and garbage all over the house'. This comes from the man that has a rat problem in his house. Yes, you read that right, he has rats in the house. My attorney was present for the interview with CPS and he jokingly said: "Well, if he didn't kill so many cats, he probably wouldn't have a rat problem". My house is clean, I showed the investigator the back of cupboards, which were organized and dust free. We live here, so yes, at the end of the day there are toys on the floor and dishes in the sink. But no rats.
The 2nd allegation was much more serious and gives much more food for thought, knowing that psychopaths project their behavior and deep inner thoughts on the other parent. "Mother takes pictures of the children in various stages of undress with the intent to distribute".
Yes, basically child pornography.
Now why this worries me. The CPS investigator told me that the pictures he had seen had nothing of a sexual nature, but as it was reported in a phone call, he had to follow up. He agreed the pictures were from a parent taking snapshots of their child. Happy moments.
Ex's family has a history of sexual child abuse. Within the family the grandfather has fondled the daughters, and brothers have coerced sisters to perform oral sex. Now, at this moment, I don't believe Ex has had inappropriate relations with the children. However, the oldest is becoming of the age that sexual predators become interested in girls.
Is there anything I can do about this? No, nobody has been prosecuted for (unconscious) thoughts. We live in a free society. I have to let the CPS investigation run its course. I'm not going to muddy the water with more allegations that can never be proven.
It is absolutely vicious and evil how 1 parent tries to eliminate the other parent out of the lives of the children, over the backs of the children. When one makes such false allegations and uses the child as a weapon to disparage the other parent, you don't really love your child.

The UPEACE Foundation Course provides a critical and concise introduction to the broad field of "Peace Studies" for students in ALL UPEACE programs. It initially addresses key conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the origins and development of peace studies as an interdisciplinary area within the fields of international relations and political economy. Based on a critical analysis of policies, strategies, institutions, organizations and movements, the course then examines a range of core issues, dimensions, perspectives and paradigms for understanding the root causes of conflicts and violence and constructive strategies to address them and build peace in contemporary global, international, regional, national and local contexts. The core concepts include militarization, disarmament and arms control; human rights violations and promotion; gender inequalities, gender-based violence and gender mainstreaming; structural violence, human security, development and globalization; environmental sustainability; corporate social responsibility; international law in conflict and peacebuilding; cultural and religious identities; media's role in conflict and peacebuilding; strategies of nonviolence; and peace education. This Foundations course will be essential in catalyzing the awareness, understanding and motivation of UPEACE students in diverse academic programs to relate, ground and intersect their specific areas of academic and practitioner interest with core theoretical, conceptual and analytical ideas in peace studies.

Contemporary international life has become unthinkable without the existence of public international law. Increasingly, international relations have become juridified, while more and more actors (international organizations, individuals, groups, NGOs, and corporations) participate in norm creation, implementation and enforcement. And, as humanity faces unprecedented challenges, the call for more cooperation and regulation is undiminished. This course offers a comprehensive overview of the topic of public international law. It provides students with a broad introduction that will focus on laying a firm foundation of knowledge about the most important doctrines and topics in this field. It will provide students with a solid grasp of the vocabulary of international law (sources, jurisdiction, responsibility, enforcement, etc.), as well as a sense of the context in which international law originates and operates and an understanding of the legal and political institutions that play a role in international law and dispute settlement. Students will also be introduced to the methods prevalent in international legal argumentation as well as the methodology for researching international law. Finally, the course will analyze a broad range of contemporary issues that are dealt with using international legal tools, such as peace and security, the use of force, human rights, humanitarian law, diplomatic and consular protection, migration, and climate change, amongst others.
The pursuit of an elusive peace for humanity has been one of the major driving forces for the establishment of international organisations throughout History. The struggled for maintenance of peace and peaceful settlement of disputes have been the most important aim of most Humanity. Two world wars have been needed, however, to institute finally an international organisation committed itself essentially "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom" The United Nations emerged in 1945 as a stronger and wiser international organisation resolved to avoid the circumstances that led to the failure of its predecessor, the League of Nations.
After 70 years of its foundation, the historical, socio-political and economic development circumstances of the world have changed and with them, the UN has evolved towards a contemporary new architecture reflected in the adoption of an organisational philosophy able to respond to the current necessities of the world particularly on the subjects related to pacific settlement, collective security and development. One of the most important changes relates to the new criteria about Peace. In the world of former UN Secretary General Ban Ki Mon "Building peace is about much more than ending war. It is about putting in place the institutions and trust that will carry people forward into a peaceful future. We often have a limited window of opportunity in which to do this."
Human Rights form one of the most important branches of international law in the contemporary world. The Holocaust and the atrocities of World War II brought about the recognition of human rights as a matter of concern to the international community. Today, all states have assumed obligations under international treaties that guarantee a wide range of rights to human beings, both in times of peace and in conflict. Further obligations for states and other actors emerge from customary human rights law. Under the aegis of the United Nations and regional organizations, several bodies have been established to monitor violations of rights of human beings. Despite these efforts, we continue to live in a world where many face rampant abuse of their human rights.
This course introduces participants to the international legal regime for the protection of human rights. The course will cover a broad spectrum of issues in human rights protection, beginning with the sources of human rights in international law and ending with contemporary challenges thereto. We will explore the core human rights instruments, the enforcement mechanisms established under international law and will also give special attention to the rights of vulnerable persons and groups.
In addition, we will pay close attention to debates regarding the theoretical and legal workability of the international human rights system. Are human rights truly 'universal'? Are some human rights more important than others? How can human rights norms be applied to non-traditional actors, such as corporations and terrorist groups? Do new 'group rights' strengthen or undermine human rights? These questions and many more will guide and deepen our understanding of the principles underpinning the human rights regime, and the way that law works and does not work in the world of human rights protection.
Every communication technology presents different benefits and challenges for the protection of the right to freedom of expression, and the Internet is not the exception. Internet-based platforms provide innumerable possibilities to seek, receive, and impart information without limitations and regardless the frontiers. The current media landscape is affecting the form in which the human right to freedom of expression is exercised. This course discusses this situation and provides students with the necessary skills to promote and guarantee this right in the digital era.
In order to do that, the course starts with the analysis of the social organization. The Network Society theory will be used as a framework to understand the importance of information and communication technologies (ICT), and why people are highly dependent on the Internet. After, the course continues with the identification of the legal instruments protecting the right to freedom of expression. Students will identify the main obligations derived from International Human Rights Law, they will analyse how states should promote the simultaneous protection of competing rights, and they will discuss some of the most relevant topics in this field nowadays (i.e. protection of journalists, dissemination of hate speech, war on terror, and the role of Internet Services Providers). After this class, students will have the necessary skills to promote the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and to defend it in case of violations.
This course introduces students to the public international law dimensions of conflicts and peace. It explores the international legal standards, both in treaty law and in customary international law, that underpin the prevention, management and resolution of inter-state and intra-state conflicts. Students will specifically be introduced to jus ad bellum (Law of War and use of force), jus in bello (International Humanitarian Law), and the responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine. The course adopts a diverse range of approaches in order to examine the rules, procedures, successes and failures of key international organizations, including the United Nations, as well as regional organizations, in responding to peace and conflict situations. The course will explore several case studies of actual policy responses, or lack thereof. Participants will also learn about the limits that international law places on states and non-state actors in peace and conflict situations, before moving into a critical discussion on the debates surrounding enforcement of those standards in international law. Finally, the course will explore how international law intersects with other areas of inquiry related to peace and conflict studies, in order to promote multi-pronged responses to peace and conflict situations.
Gross violations of human rights, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide have characterized several contemporary conflicts and authoritarian regimes. In such contexts, questions of impunity and accountability become central to peacebuilding and reconstruction of post-conflict societies. Yet, criminal prosecution of persecutors poses challenges for post-conflict reconciliation, particularly when such reconciliation is contingent upon demands for amnesty. This course takes a holistic view on the debates surrounding linkages between serious crimes and justice.
This is the first part of this course. It provides a general introduction to the field of international criminal law. It focuses on the evolution of international crimes under international law and the role of international criminal courts in the prosecution of international crimes. Students will analyze the jurisdictional reach of international criminal courts, their relationship with national jurisdictions (primacy v. complementarity) and the impact of the interests of justice and peace in the exercise of their jurisdiction. Students will also explore the objective and subjective elements of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Particular attention will be placed on those elements of international crimes that make them distinguishable from ordinary crimes, and on the manner in which criminal responsibility is determined by international criminal courts.
The second part of the course which will follow this first component will focus on the intersection between international criminal law and transitional justice, the latter of which includes the study of justice in times of transition following periods of widespread human rights abuse. These transitional periods raise a wide range of legal, ethical, and political questions that are central to the peace versus justice debate. Students will explore the strengths and limits of criminal prosecutions and the alternative mechanisms available to address the commission of international crimes. Using numerous case studies from around the world, the course will provide students with analytical tools to grapple with and to discuss the most salient issues decision-makers face in the context of transitional democracies and other situations of dealing with the past.

This course introduces students to the struggles of Kurds in the context of genocides committed against
them in the past as well as in the current ongoing conflict against ISIS. It explores the Kurdish national
movement and its prospects and challenges. At the end of the course, the students will have an understanding of the history of the Kurds in the Middle East with specific emphasis on the Kurds of Iraq from the birth of Kurdish nationalism to the present day. The first session will offer an overview of the history of the Kurds and their relation with the succeeding Iraqi governments. The second session will cover the history of genocides in Iraq against the Kurds and other minorities exploring the causes and the consequences for the political and social stability of the area. The third session will focus on the heritage that this culture of violence has created in the area and the genocides committed by ISIS. The fourth session will discuss the future of Iraq and the Kurds in the context of the Middle East. The last session will explore which is the future of Iraq as a country after the liberation of Mosul and the new balance of power born from the end of the war with ISIS and the definitive collapse of the order established in 1916 with the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
This course offers a general overview of the international legal system of courts and tribunals. It will provide students with a thorough understanding of the role as well as the limitations and potential of international adjudicatory bodies in international law and international relations. The course will look at the historical and political context in which international adjudication was first developed and later expanded. It will analyze the specific position and place that international adjudicatory bodies hold in the global governance system. In this quest for understanding we will consecutively deal with the International Court of Justice as the prime example of a 'world court' and with some of its most salient features and characteristics. Close attention will be given to rules of jurisdiction and competence, as well as procedure. We will then turn to regional courts and how these are playing and have played a role in the establishment of solid regional political identities. After this we will look at courts that are meant to protect the dignity and fundamental rights of individuals and we will consider the characteristics of human rights courts as well as international criminal courts. A recent trend has been the parallel development of international claims tribunals and arbitration mechanisms for investment disputes. Likewise, dispute settlement mechanisms in international financial institutions, as well as in the context of free trade agreements, have taken flight and are reshaping the global picture of adjudication and formal dispute settlement mechanisms. Finally, we will consider the role of domestic courts and the transnational dimension of domestic litigation.
The main objective of this course is to explore the contemporary system of international economic law, its theory, and practice, in the backdrop of 'sustainable development' emerging as the central theme influencing all its processes. The course has a clear orientation towards understanding and resolving contemporary disputes which arise as a result of the increasing specialization of the field of 'international economic law' and the accompanying 'fragmentation' of public international law. The course will adopt a trans-disciplinary approach that encompasses international law, economics and finance, international relations, development studies, and human rights, in the broad interface between international economic law and development. Students will look closely at the economic and legal principles of the multilateral trade system, the case for liberalization of trade, the exceptions to the principles of liberalization, the judicial dispute settlement of trade disputes, the current initiatives for making trade law work for development, as well as the legal controversies arising in this field. Students will also explore other important areas of international economic law today such as investment, finance, and intellectual property rights.

We do live in dark times with various ongoing challenges, and this kind of complexity requires comprehensive approach in analyzing, examining and re-thinking the realities of 21st century. The main framework of the course will be the political theory of Hannah Arendt, who not only provided us with the meaningful idea of human dignity, but as well with a critique on the contemporary human rights. The importance of the Hannah Arendt's work is that it addresses and relates to various ongoing challenges and threats (statelessness, rightlessness, refugees, crimes against humanity, totalitarianism, ideologies, propaganda, etc.) by offering profound insights and understandings of what "Citizen of the World" entails.
In that direction, the course follows an interdisciplinary approach involving several fields of studies such as: human rights (political and philosophical origins); gender, cultural and peace studies. It offers a re-examination of concepts such as human rights, dignity, justice, equality and peace along with the idea of "world citizenship" - worldliness or the cosmopolitan idea of humanity, as an answer to the ongoing challenges, discourses and trends. The main aim of the course will be to provide a re-thinking of human rights in the 21st century, as a way of addressing not only the growing "rightlessness" and "statelessness" and massive violations of human rights, but also to offer an understanding of the importance of the concepts of "dignity" and "world citizenship", as central to human rights and peace.
This course is intended as a practical field exercise in conflict situations, as well as an academic seminar. The students will receive a basic training on how situations of stress or crisis influence them in a mental, physical, and professional ways. A series of scenarios drawn from contemporary conflict situations are presented to the participants as they simulate the work of journalists, NGO personnel and members of international organisations.
Technological developments increase the speed of social changes; requiring the reinterpretation and adaption of international norms. Human rights are part of this dynamic. They are continuously affected by the uses of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and this course discusses this reality and provides students with the necessary skills to analyze the situation in the light of international human rights law.
The course starts with the understanding of the ICT, its importance for the current social organization, and the rules governing its use. Then, it continues with the study of the economic, social and cultural rights. Students will identify the main obligations derived from International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), analyze how states should promote the exercise of these rights, and discuss some of the most relevant topics in this field nowadays (i.e. shared economy, health). Then students will consider the exercise of civil and political rights through the case of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. Each class is designed to provide students with the tools needed to identify states' obligation, consider the simultaneous protection of competing rights, and understand how human rights can be fulfilled in the digital era. By the end of this course, students will have the basic skills needed to promote and guarantee the exercise of human rights through the use of ICT.

The course will explore in an interdisciplinary manner (international law, human rights and politics) the development of "hate speech", which gains enormous importance with the raising populism, nationalism, xenophobia, and racism. Indeed, the inceptions of the crime could be traced back in the Rwandan Genocide where the incitement of genocide took place through the local radio. However, in the era of internet the question arises whether the virtual space is political space stricto sensu or erodes it though the ongoing hate speech. Both in virtual or real perspective the broader legal and political implications of hate speech are unclear, and by that of crimes against humanity and genocide. Furthermore, the parallelism of freedom of speech and expression with hate speech is a hoax, due to the fact that they have different agency. The former concerns individuals and the latter – groups. Hence, the course will attempt to place them under tension and examine how they differ.
In attempting to provide not only legal but broader political clarity of the hate speech and crimes against humanity and genocide the course will use as a theoretical framework Hannah Arendt's central concept of plurality. Plurality in Arendt is elucidated in the fact of being able to belong to a political community where one is free to speak and act. Speech on one the hand represents affirmation to the political community one is belonging to, and on the other hand hate speech is the violation thereof. Plurality for Arendt has double-edged sword meaning, and therefore is very potent. The other side of plurality is what Arendt had saw the exceptional nature of the crimes against humanity and genocide, as attacks to the human plurality and status and therefore representing extraordinary crimes which are of concern of whole humanity. Roma Statute confirms in its definitions of crimes, the element of "plurality" as a required mens rea and actus reus. No individual only is capable of committing such crimes which require state machinery reflected in the existence of ideology, especially racist ideologies and bureaucracy. The link ideology-bureaucracy corresponds to the individualized nexus mens rea-actus reus. In this respect the course will look at the elements of totalitarianism in Arendt, including the "rise of social" and masses and discuss, populism as a new ideology or textbook example of totalitarianism. Such a discussion is especially relevant for the ongoing public discourse on refugees and migrants, as the covert hate speech by politicians and public figures is usually justified through the protection of national security.
Hence, the course will as well have practical dimension by reading case law related to hate speech and crimes (Rwanda and ex-Yugoslavia), and analyzing public discourses of politicians and public figures in attempts to distinguish between overt and covert hate speech as detriment to politics, political opinion and debate, including the political and legal consequences thereof. In that sense, the course will also discuss the role of social media as tool of promoting public space of freedom and opinion or eroding
This course introduces participants to the increasingly significant field of indigenous peoples' rights and looks at the contemporary issues that have paradoxically led to recognition of those rights on the one hand, while simultaneously challenging their implementation on the other. The course will address the broad spectrum of issues involved in the field of indigenous peoples' rights, beginning with who qualifies to be "indigenous peoples", the scope of their right to self-determination, the international and regional legal frameworks for the protection of their rights and the challenges associated therewith, and the debates surrounding the concept of indigenous governance. The course will also look closely into human security and human development issues relating to indigenous peoples, the impact of State policies on their culture and language, the issue of genetic research in the context of indigenous peoples and the effect of intellectual property rights on the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples. Strong emphasis will be placed throughout the course not only on theory and law, but also on case studies from around the world. Students will explore debates on mainstreaming versus autonomy, participatory governance, scope of 'free and prior consent', amongst others.
The UPEACE Model United Nations Conference (UPMUNC) is a graduate-level simulation of the real United Nations Organization, its most important specialized agencies, and other associated organizations. UPMUNC provides a common platform for UPEACE students and participants from several other universities to discuss international affairs and to gain a greater understanding of the procedures of the United Nations. Participants become familiar with key global issues by becoming part of the international decision making process to resolve them, and in so doing, are given an opportunity to apply their skills in negotiations, public speaking, and diplomacy.
The law of the sea is a discipline within the field of public international law which regulates the activities of States and persons at sea. Its rules are to a large extent laid down in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Convention, which has properly been called the "Constitution for the Oceans", can be regarded as one of the major accomplishments of the United Nations, in that it deals in a comprehensive manner with all aspects of the uses of the seas which cover over 70% of the world's surface. The course traces the provisions of the Convention and thus provides an overview of the prevailing legal regime.
The purpose of this course, in the first instance, is to develop understanding of the concept of sustainable development and its evolution over the past decades and the importance of mainstreaming it into national development plans and strategies. It will then explain how discussions are conducted in various UN for a between countries and groups of countries to develop agendas and programmes like the Agenda 21; various environmental conventions; Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, as also related thematic/sectoral issues.
