LLB Law and German
UCAS code: MR12
Duration: 4 years
Delivery: Full-time
School: Law
College: Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
Introducing LLB Law and German
This combined honours programme does not include all courses required to proceed to the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice and thereafter to the legal profession in Scotland.
For students on joint honours programmes who wish to retain the option of practising as a lawyer in Scotland, it may be possible to complete the additional courses required. Where this is an option, it will typically require extra study throughout the programme.
Students who wish to undertake a joint honours programme should therefore consider the possible impact of this on qualifying as solicitors, and discuss this with their Personal Tutor on arrival in the Law School.
It is possible to gain accreditation by the Law Society of Scotland through studying additional courses.
Year 1
You will be introduced to general legal principles and legal techniques and will study compulsory courses including:
- Scottish Legal System
- Critical Legal Thinking,
- Contract Law
- Family Law
- Public Law of the UK and Scotland

You will also study courses in German.
Year 2
Your courses may include:
- Property Law
- Jurisprudence
- Public Law and Individual Rights
- Delict

You will also study courses in German.
Year 3
Compulsory year abroad.
Year 4
You will have the opportunity to specialise in further law subjects, chosen from a wide range of courses, including:

To give you an idea of what to expect from this programme, we publish the latest available information. However, please note this may not be for your year of entry, but for a different academic year.
After graduating you can progress to the legal profession in Scotland by completing the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, followed by a traineeship with a legal firm, to qualify as a solicitor.
You can then opt to go to the Bar, to qualify as an advocate. There are also opportunities for Scottish-qualified lawyers to practise in other jurisdictions, including other member states of the European Union.
Graduates who do not choose a legal career often use their skills and experience for employment in finance, management or journalism or with international organisations such as the European Union and the United Nations.

Yoga for YOU (Terri Cain)
February 24, 2020 8:00 am to 9:15 am
There is a saying: "If you Breathe, you can do yoga!" But which yoga? Every Yoga is not right for everybody. We each come to the practice with a unique body that works in unique ways. We are more or less flexible, have tighter or looser shoulders, cope with this or that injury or medical condition. The practice is not about bending your uniqueness into prescribed Yoga postures-rather, the yoga postures should "bend" to benefit the uniqueness of the individual. When you come to your next yoga class remeber to celebrate the beauty of yoga that is uniquely you!

As parents, we'll take our kids to get their shots even if they yell, 'I hate you, I hate you' because as much as that might hurt, you do it because you're looking out for the kid's best interests – it's a giving act. If I was to ask a group of parents, 'What's the […]
Imagine Joe was to look through a keyhole and see a masked man with a tool cutting into another person. Joe thinks to himself that a madman is having some fun with his victim, and he sees this madman as a villain.
Then Joe takes a step back and notices the long white halls with the desk sitting at the center and stacks of paperwork alongside it.
Suddenly it dawns on Joe that he is not in a torture chamber – he is in a hospital! And, the masked man is not a torturer inflicting random pain – he is a skilled surgeon tending to his patient in order to repair him!
In this example, the ultimate hero and act of kindness – a surgeon saving a life – is looked upon as the ultimate villain executing an act of cruelty – a torturer inflicting random meaningless pain.
This inaccurate perspective is due to a lack in the witness's seeing the whole picture.
Similarly, a torturer is a taker, so, as explained, that cannot be the Infinite God. Instead, as we will demonstrate, God is a "spiritual surgeon".
One of people's problems in coming to terms with what we are saying here is that they view death as the end. But, as we will discuss in the coming articles, death is merely a stage in the soul's larger journey just as life is merely a stage in the soul's larger journey.
God willing, in the next article, we will open up our understanding of the root of human suffering…

chant necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
We need an amazing logo to be used as the identity of a website about movies based on video games.
Desired Style:
Cool, clean, crisp, Web 2.0, professional looking, something that can stand side-by-side with the big boys (IGN, Gamespot, Blue's News, etc.)
Accepted File Formats:
300 pixels per inch is fine, preferably in Photoshop PSD format with layers.
Gamerflicks, a new website specializing in providing news about the world of video game movies, is looking for an amazing logo to brand the site's identity. We are looking for something that is a combination of a logo and the word Gamerflicks (or a creative presentation of the word to be used as the logo, like Coca-Cola, Playstation or Star Wars), something that is Web 2.0 sexy and cool but is also unique and original. It has to be memorable, professional looking and possess something that the reader will immediately brand with the Gamerflicks identity (think IGN or Blue's News.) At this point we don't want to limit your imagination and creativity so there is no color scheme to adhere to. The look and color identity of the chosen logo will be used to build the site's color scheme around. The logo could be simple or it could be complex, but we'll know what it is when we see it. Keep in mind that rich, vibrant colors set against dark background seem to be used for the majority of gaming and movie websites, but if you suddenly have a vision of what you think is the perfect logo, go for it. You should get some ideas alone from just the name of the website.
Hard specifics: we want a high quality image. 300 pixels per inch is fine, preferably in Photoshop PSD format with layers. If you have to, we'll accept JPG, PNG or TIFF formats.
We were impressed by the amount of creativity here on Sitepoint (specifically the Cinebar competition) and we would love to see some amazing design possibilities for this entertainment driven website. We're not corporate, we're creative, so keep that in mind when approaching your design. Please don't submit a design that has elements borrowed or taken from another website or company. Feedback will be offered to the designers submitting.
Good luck and thank you for considering our contest!

Glama Natural® Translucent Printing Papers are easy to print on when following these simple hints. We recommend you pre-test all procedures prior to press time to ensure you achieve the desired results.
For optimum results, we recommend low-solvent (0-5%), oil-based inks that dry by oxidation. Ink with higher than recommended solvent content may cause ink-set difficulties. In-plant ink formulation is not recommended. Normal heatset and UV inks have printed successfully on Glama Natural and eliminate drying time. Ask your ink manufacturer about Glama Natural products specifically.
Keep Glama Natural wrapped in mill packaging until the moment of printing. It is essential to let the paper acclimatize in the press room for a minimum of 24 hours – longer during cold weather. Also keep Glama Natural covered during drying, between passes and prior to any finishing work. Pressroom conditions should be as close as possible to 68 degrees and 45-60% relative humidity. If the bindery has a different climate than the pressroom, allow the paper to acclimatize to those conditions. Should you experience a curl problem it is most likely temperature – or humidity – related. We recommend printing in small lifts and frequent airing of lifts. Avoid using on-press heat and drying systems.
Run the ink-water balance at an absolute minimum. The pH should not be below 4.0. We suggest adding up to 10% alcohol. Given the non-porous property of Glama Natural, excess water won't be absorbed or removed from the blanket. Any excess water will slow drying time. Solid or multiple color bars can be used to assist in removing water and aid in ink set time.
If the job requires offset spray, use coated spray of normal fineness.
A clear, overprint varnish can be used to seal the sheet and reduce curling when Glama Natural is used as a cover, wrap, free-hanging application or when very heavy ink coverage is applied to one side of the paper. Apply 100% VOC-free varnish after the underlying ink is dry. Consult your varnish supplier and pre-test for compatibility. Do not use aqueous coatings.
Do not use a newly sharpened blade when cutting Glama Natural products as it may chip. A slightly dull but clean-edged blade with a 23º-bevel angle is ideal.
Always fold, score and bind with the grain direction. Start with a 2 point rounded channel score. The matrix channel should be a minimum width of 2.5 times the caliper of the sheet, plus 0.028", usually 0.040" or 0.050". Do not use sharp tools when folding and scoring.
Drag your Excel or CSV file onto the orange area above, then click the Upload button. You can also click the orange area to browse for and select your file.
After your file is uploaded, you will be able to map your data fields to our standard format.

Manchester City defender Maicon has no doubt Sunday's clash with Manchester United will match any other derby he has experienced for atmosphere.
The Barclays Premier League contest at the Etihad Stadium will be the first meeting between local rivals City and United since Brazilian full-back Maicon joined the Blues from Inter Milan this summer.
With it once again pitting the league's top two against each other – champions City currently trail leaders United by three points – the game is set to be as intense an affair as ever.
And Maicon, who has played in derbies for Inter against AC Milan and for Cruzeiro against their Belo Horizonte neighbours Atletico Mineiro in Brazil, is expecting something just as feisty as those encounters.
"My strongest memory of the Milan derbies was the day Inter won 4-0 (in 2009-10) and we also won the Champions League in the same season," he said.
"It was a great game, a great derby, difficult to forget.
"All over the world, the derby is a different game to any other.
"It is a passionate game, whether you are in Manchester, Milan or Brazil, and I am sure Sunday will be just the same.
"I remember playing for Cruzeiro against Atletico Mineiro, at a time when Mineiro were the better team. We won that game, and it changed our whole season for the better.
"This is something that is built into derbies – it can give the team a boost of confidence for the rest of the season."
Both City and United go into the match having lost their midweek Champions League fixtures, but there was a considerable contrast between the context in each case.
While it made little difference to United, who had already qualified for the last 16 as Group H winners, that they lost 1-0 at home to Cluj on Wednesday, City – already unable to make the knockout rounds of that competition – crashed out of Europe altogether after their 1-0 away loss to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, the Blues finishing bottom of Group D and thus missing out on the consolation of a Europa League spot.
A positive way to look at it for City is that unlike United, they will now not have the distraction of European commitments to contend with as this season's domestic title race continues.
The City side pushing for the Premier League trophy this time out has been much the same as that which won it last term, although manager Roberto Mancini has made a handful of additions to his squad.
Among those, Maicon has been one to feature prominently of late, starting five of the last six games, and the 31-year-old feels it is vital the new arrivals at City make their contribution.
"We are working for this (the title) every week," Maicon said.
"The bulk of the team that won the league last year is the same, with only a few players coming into the squad.
"It is up to us to contribute to change the history of this club."

An upbeat crocodile savors pleasures such as ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and having a picnic in Central Park
Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. By Bernard Waber. Houghton Mifflin, 48 pp., $6.95, paperback. Ages 3 and up.
By Janice Harayda
It's not easy being green and living in a bathtub in New York City. Just ask any young fan of Lyle, an anthropomorphic crocodile who made his picture-book debut in 1962 in The House on East 88th Street and has reappeared in more than a half-dozen sequels that celebrate the joys of urban life.
Lyle lives with Mr. and Mrs. Primm and their son, Joshua, in a New York City brownstone that has a high stoop, fanlight window, and claw-foot bathtub in which he relaxes. He revels in urban life even as he startles shoppers and irritates a neighbor whose cat he has frightened.
One of Lyle's endearing traits is an almost pathological optimism. In Lyle, Lyle Crocodile, he is exiled to a zoo after he follows Mrs. Primm to a department store and creates a commotion by putting on an exuberant show with Signor Hector P. Valenti, his former partner in a traveling stage act, who now sells pajamas. Lyle weeps during his first night in a cage but rebounds when visitors arrive and he becomes the biggest star in the zoo. Still, he misses the Primms until a heroic deed enables him to go home and, at last, win over the testy neighbor whose cat he had upset.
Bernard Waber combines strong black lines and blend of bold and subtle watercolors to suggest the depth and variety of New York City. And he brings Lyle's personality to the fore by alternating full-color pages with black, white and green spreads. Partly because he draws better than he writes, his work ranks several notches below that of Chris Van Allsburg and David Macaulay and others who also have been nurtured by his editor, the esteemed Walter Lorraine of Houghton Mifflin.
But few fictional characters can match Lyle's infectious enthusiasm for joys of city life – riding taxis, feeding pigeons, ice-skating at Rockefeller Center. Many good children's books deal with the urban experiences of a specific group – blacks, Hispanics, white girls rich enough to live at the Plaza. And we need those books. We also need books that say: Great cities like New York abound with joys that transcend your race, ethnicity or bank balance. Lyle, Lyle Crocodile does that, and nearly two generations of children have been grateful for it.
Best line/picture: "Lyle could spend hours watching building construction." The focus on free or low-cost pleasures in this book is all the more appealing when a good seat for a Broadway show costs $100 and even a one-way subway ride will set you back $2.
Worst line/picture: A sign at an information desk says: "On parle francais" and "Aqui se habla español." Using the tilde on español but not the cedilla on français is sloppy. And the some of the characters' names are cute rather than witty or apt.
Published: 1965 (first edition) www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/authors/waber/
Caveat lector: Some reviews suggest that the quality of this series falls off with later books, which I haven't read. I welcome comments from teachers, librarians and others who can speak to this issue. And contrary to what you might expect from its title, Waber has written Lyle, Lyle Crocodile in prose, not poetry.
Reviews of books for children or teenagers appear every Saturday on One-Minute Book Reviews.

The user produces the "sit" (座, za) kanji in his palm, and by touching the tailed beast, or its host, with their hand, the user suppresses the chakra inside an area lined with ten pillars.
Ishidate Uchiha used this technique when fighting with jinchurikis after tying them up, without them wearing a the First Hokages crystal gem which Yamato stated was necessary however this may be because he was not born with it as it takes to much chakra.
When Hashirama used it on a tailed beast directly, rather than a jinchūriki, he circumvented the use of the pillars and channelled the tailed beast control through his Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.
The last part of this technique's name, Kakuan Nitten Suishu (廓庵入鄽垂手), comes from a famous series of short poems and accompanying images, called the Ten Bull Pictures (十牛図, Jūgyū-zu, Chinese: Shíniú-tú). The pictures and poems are intended to illustrate the stages of Zen discipline.
They were drawn by a twelfth-century Chinese Zen master called Kuòān (廓庵, Japanese: Kakuan, Literally meaning: enclosed hermitage). The tenth poem talks about how the fully-enlightened herdsman returns to the city to help others reach enlightenment. This poem is called Rùchán Chuíshǒu (入鄽垂手, Japanese: Nitten Suishu), which can be translated as "entering society with bliss-bringing hands" (i.e. hands that teach how to reach enlightenment).

39 North Innovation District Plan Unveiled
Sam's research aims to discover and understand the signaling and regulatory processes that mediate plant stress response and oil production. He is interested in translating knowledge gained from this work to improve plant oil and biomass production.
Membrane lipids play a myriad of structural, metabolic, and regulatory roles in plant growth and adaptation to stresses. Vegetable oils are not only major sources of calories and essential nutrients for humans, but also important feed stocks for biofuls and renewable industrial materials.

New York – In the first study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate cardiovascular risk in World Trade Center (WTC) first responders, researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that the responders who experienced high levels of exposure to the initial dust cloud on September 11, 2001, demonstrate high-risk features of atherosclerosis (plaque in arteries). The data were presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2011 in Orlando, Florida.
Mary Ann McLaughlin, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine is the primary investigator for this study and has been evaluating the cardiovascular health of the WTC responders since 2007. In addition to the current study, her research has shown more impaired cardiac relaxation and coronary calcification in responders at Ground Zero, compared with the general population.
First author, Venkatesh Mani, PhD, and colleagues, used MRI to evaluate the blood vessels of 19 responders exposed to the high levels of particulate matter from the dust cloud, and 12 exposed to the lower levels. They found that WTC workers who were exposed to the initial dust cloud had higher blood vessel formation in their artery plaque compared to people with lower exposure. Co-investigator, Simonette Sawit, MD also demonstrated impaired vascular reactivity, or dysfunction of the inner lining of blood vessels, in those with higher dust exposure. This dysfunction may accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis. The Mount Sinai team discovered this association in WTC workers independent of other clinical factors.
"Using noninvasive MRI imaging, we were able to see a significant impact of the events of 9/11 on the cardiovascular health of the brave men and women who responded that day," said Zahi Fayad, PhD, Professor of Radiology, and Medicine in the Division of Cardiology, and the Director of the Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "Now that we have visualized the risk and early development of vascular lesions, in a subset of subjects, we look forward to studying the use of imaging in the greater patient population."
"This study defines physiologic change associated with greater exposure to the dust cloud at the WTC site," said Dr. McLaughlin. "We are currently evaluating other predictors of cardiovascular risk in this population to gain a better understanding of the impact of particulate matter exposure on cardiovascular health."
This research is funded by Clinical and Translational Science Award, the Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
The WTC Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai is a treatment and monitoring program for emergency responders, recovery workers, residents, and area workers who were affected by the terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001. The program identifies mental and physical health problems needing timely treatment; evaluates the health of first responders; monitors the development of symptoms; and researches the effects of 9/11 through data collection and analysis. Located at Mount Sinai and several other clinics in the tri-state area, the Clinical Centers of Excellence and Data Centers are the result of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which provides $4.3 billion in federal funding to serve the health needs of the brave men and women impacted by the WTC tragedy.

Now Producing Grammars on Steroids
About a year ago, we released the third edition of William Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek grammar. We had offered the second edition for quite some time, but while working on the new edition we decided to see just how far we could take it. So we upgraded Accordance to support audio pronunciations of vocabulary words, included links that would automatically search the tagged Greek New Testament and Mounce translation, and generally tried to create an introductory grammar on steroids.
This week we released another performance-enhanced introductory grammar: the Basics of Biblical Hebrew by Gary Pratico and Miles Van Pelt. Like Mounce's Greek grammar, Basics of Biblical Hebrew includes audio pronunciations of vocabulary words and includes links that will automatically search the tagged Hebrew Bible. That way, students studying their vocabulary can immediately explore numerous examples of those words being used in context. This is especially fitting since Pratico and Van Pelt used Accordance to research their word frequency statistics: now their students can easily use Accordance to verify them! :-)
As much as we've tried to leverage Accordance's power to provide a Hebrew grammar on steroids, it is ultimately the content of this grammar which makes it worth buying. Pratico and Van Pelt take care to explain the structural aspects of Hebrew so that all those inflections which seem so strange to the beginning student begin to make sense. They use examples from the Hebrew Bible rather than "made up" examples. Best of all, they include "exegetical insights" which reveal the practical importance of what is being learned in each chapter.
As I was doing final quality-control checks of this module, I found myself repeatedly pausing to read these exegetical insights, which alone justify this grammar's purchase price. Ranging from a simple discussion of Hebrew acrostic poetry in the chapter on the alphabet to challenging reinterpretations of such phrases as "train up a child" and "in the cool of the day," these sections effectively demonstrate the importance of learning Hebrew at a time when many seminaries are dropping it as a requirement.
If you're wanting to tackle the study of Hebrew with an introductory grammar on steroids, be sure to pick up the Accordance edition of Basics of Biblical Hebrew. And whenever you find yourself growing weary, as every language student inevitably does, turn to the nearest "exegetical insight" for a little "shot in the arm".

A long, long time ago I was hired as a teacher.
Now we aren't here to question the good judgment of the gentleman who made this decision, but we probably should discuss it at some point.
For whatever reason, he chose me out of 3 candidates.
I may not have been the greatest teacher, but I was evidently better than the other two.
Or they may have turned the job down right before he offered it to me.
I will never know.
But lucky for me, I had a job.
When I was hired, he gave me some good advice. After he put his cigarette out.
Yes, times have changed. In today's world you would never see a high school principal sitting at his desk hiring a new teacher while sucking on a cancer stick.
But two decades ago, I did.
And I remember his advice like it was yesterday.
He said "Mike, take this advice or don't. Doesn't make me any difference. But, if I was a brand new teacher, I would stay out of the teacher's lounge."
Then he went back to smoking. He really seemed to enjoy it.
I took his advice. And vowed to never smoke at my desk because I didn't want my fingers to be yellow.
He didn't tell me why I should stay out of the lounge, but I remember thinking at the time he must know something I don't because he had been in education forever.
And I mean forever.
His fingers were REALLY yellow.
These days, I'm starting to think Twitter has become the new Teacher's Lounge.
Neither one is bad, but they are what you make of them.
Both can provide educators positive and upbeat experiences, but both can also suck the living life out of you.
In either place, I think it's very easy to get caught up in complaining about schools, students, parents, and even politicians.
If I was giving advice in today's world (and I am), I would say don't go anywhere where the people around you make you feel bad about your profession.
This might mean the lounge. This might also mean Twitter.

Use colour strategically. Colour in forms should be used with care - but used well it can really aid form completion and navigation. In general, yellow, for example, is a colour to avoid as much as possible - text set in yellow on a typical light background can be very hard to read - and people can find yellow aggressive.
When designing forms make sure the response mechanism is appropriate to each question. Having gone to all the trouble of filling in your form, the least you can do is provide users with information about what happens next. Customer communication is key, and since you have made the form so easy to fill in and return, processing it could also be a breeze!

|We're continuing to refine the raid progression paths in Cataclysm, and we'd like to share some of those changes with you today. Please enjoy!
The first of the refinements being made is that we're combining all raid sizes and difficulties into a single lockout. Unlike today, 10- and 25-player modes of a single raid will share the same lockout. You can defeat each raid boss once per week per character. In other words, if you wanted to do both a 10- and 25-person raid in a single week, you'd need to do so on two different characters. Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel. Obviously the raid lockout change doesn't apply in pure Icecrown terms though, as this change goes hand-in-hand with a few other changes to raid progression in Cataclysm.
We're designing and balancing raids so that the difficulty between 10- and 25-player versions of each difficulty will be as close as possible to each other as we can achieve. That closeness in difficulty also means that we'll have bosses dropping the same items in 10- and 25-player raids of each difficulty. They'll have the same name and same stats; they are in fact the exact same items. Choosing Heroic mode will drop a scaled-up version of those items. Our hope is that players will be able to associate bosses with their loot tables and even associate specific artwork with specific item names to a far greater extent than today.
Dungeon Difficulty and Rewards
10- and 25-player (normal difficulty) -- Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop the exact same items as each other.
10- and 25-player (Heroic difficulty) -- Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop more powerful versions of the normal-difficulty items.
We of course recognize the logistical realities of organizing larger groups of people, so while the loot quality will not change, 25-player versions will drop a higher quantity of loot per player (items, but also badges, and even gold), making it a more efficient route if you're able to gather the people. The raid designers are designing encounters with these changes in mind, and the class designers are making class changes to help make 10-person groups easier to build. Running 25-player raids will be a bit more lucrative, as should be expected, but if for a week or two you need to do 10s because half the guild is away on vacation, you can do that and not suffer a dramatic loss to your ability to get the items you want.
We recognize that very long raids can be a barrier for some players, but we also want to provide enough encounters for the experience to feel epic. For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid. All of these bosses would drop the same item level gear, but the dungeons themselves being different environments will provide some variety in location and visual style, as well as separate raid lockouts. Think of how you could raid Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep separately, but you might still want to hit both every week.
We do like how gating bosses over time allows the community to focus on individual encounters instead of just racing to the end boss, so we're likely to keep that design moving forward. We don't plan to impose attempt limitations again though, except maybe in cases of rare optional bosses (like Algalon). Heroic mode may not be open from day one, but will become available after defeating normal mode perhaps as little as once or twice.
In terms of tuning, we want groups to be able to jump into the first raids pretty quickly, but we also don't want them to overshadow the Heroic 5-player dungeons and more powerful quest rewards. We'll be designing the first few raid zones assuming that players have accumulated some blue gear from dungeons, crafted equipment, or quest rewards. In general, we want you and your guild members to participate in and enjoy the level up experience.
We design our raids to be accessible to a broad spectrum of players, so we want groups to be able to make the decision about whether to attempt the normal or Heroic versions of raids pretty quickly. The goal with all of these changes is to make it as much of a choice or effect of circumstance whether you raid as a group of 10 or as a group of 25 as possible. Whether you're a big guild or a small guild the choice won't be dependent on what items drop, but instead on what you enjoy the most.
We realize that with any changes to progression pathways there are going to be questions. We're eagerly awaiting any that we may have left unanswered. To the comments!
The TL:DR:
- Each instance has a shared raid lockout across both 10 and 25 raid sizes. This means you can't hit up both the 10 and the 25 versions in the same week.
- Difficulty of the instance between raid sizes will be equal as much as possible.
- Loot will be identical in both raid sizes. 25-man raid loot will not be better than 10-man raid loot. Both will drop the same iLevel loot. Both will share loot tables. /does a trinket dance!
- 25m will get more loot per kill, gold, and badges than 10m boss kills. The exact proportion is not mentioned, but it is hinted at being more than an equal percentage (ie. rather than 2 drops in 10m/5 in 25m, it is more likely to be 2 in 10, 7+ in 25). The 25m raiders will also be able to purchase badge items far more quickly; overall, 25-man raiders will gear up more quickly. This is the carrot to run with more cats.
- Limited Attempt mechanics will be rare and likely only on a couple optional bosses.
- Gated content (especially heroic mode) will likely continue in Cataclysm.
Instance Length and Raider Rotations:
Additionally, the initial raid instances will be small, about 5-6 bosses. In multi-night raiding guilds, this is a big plus: if you have only one huge instance to raid and your guild always raids (using Vortex as an example) Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday, and if you have a raider who can never make Tuesdays, then that raider will always miss the bosses, gear, and experiences of the first part of that one big instance that is run on Tuesdays. Considering how specific bosses drop specific gear they may need, or that many raiders like seeing all parts of content to experience it and get variety, this is no small matter for guilds. This is a situation that occurs in many guilds, and this exact example is one I have seen with my own husband.
If you have an option to swap instances or even wings that you start on each week, then that raider gets to see the content and access the drops involved on an every-other-week rotation.... compared to current ICC, where the only option to start is Lower Citadel or, oh, Lower Citadel. VoA takes 10 minutes, and ToC is all but forgotten when you're raiding hardmode ICC. This seems to be what they are trying to remedy: allowing guilds to hit multiple instances in one week that offer the same level of gear and content commitment, and thus allow guilds to rotate what nights they raid which content.
...never mind that in equalizing gear (and difficulty to match the gear) across the floor, there will be far fewer raiders snubbing their noses at 10-strict guilds as being subpar or "nubs" (being as 10s are clearly so easy for them in their much higher gear).
Thank you, Blizzard.
Difficulty Levels:
Many of the comments I have seen from the knee-jerk forum posters are to the effect of "lulz we can raid the easy tens to get the same loot as 25, gg blizz for catering to the casuals and making wow too easy," which blatantly ignores the whole "We're designing and balancing raids so that the difficulty between 10- and 25-player versions of each difficulty will be as close as possible to each other as we can achieve." This is remnant of the misconception that 10mans are easy: they are easy in 25-man gear, but they are not easy in the gear that they were BALANCED for. When the gear is balanced, so too will the difficulty feel balanced. 10s in Cataclysm will not be easy in 25-man gear, because 25-man gear WILL BE 10-man gear.
Of course, we might be seeing more Sarth10-3D in the difficulty scaling between tens and 25s, but it will simply be from the difficulty of balancing the mechanics rather than gear levels.
- For a breakdown of ways that 10 and 25 are different in terms of difficulty balancing, you can read more detail in my post here. It includes space, class balance, dual specs, and even disconnects and how they impact the different raid sizes, and how they can be made to balance: if not equally on a certain boss, then balanced across multiple bosses in an instance.
- If you are curious about what 10-man raiding guilds are really like to play in and be a part of, you can read my rather depthy explanation.
- If you just need to see a cute puppy picture to feel happy and fuzzy again, go here. I'm still jealous, Zing.

As Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, a leading Romanian political and economic analyst, wrote in 2006:
"What is exceptional and needs some explanation in Romania's case is not her difficult separation with its communist past, but the final positive outcome: the signing of the Accession Treaty with the European Union in April 2005." (Europeanisation without Decommunization: a case of elite conversion).
Romania had a difficult start. Building democratic institutions and implementing economic reforms was not high on the agenda of the regime that followed Ceausescu. Out of 15 years of political transition, Ion Iliescu and his parties have governed twice as long as their opponents. During their first six years of rule, they allowed several former communist organisations to maintain and consolidate their positions of power (see section Shadows of the past)
In 1999, two thirds of Romanians still believed that communism had been a good, but badly implemented, idea. "Support for post communist parties throughout the transition remained higher than support for challenger parties […]. Had the PCR (Communist Party) successor parties ran united in every election, the Romanian anti-communists would have never managed to win." (Alina Mungiu-Pippidi)
Today, Romanian society looks very different. As Lazar Comanescu points out, the EU accession process has played a crucial role.
"Perhaps the main effect of the prospect of EU membership has been its role as an anchor of the reform process. The drive to join the EU has been one of the most powerful incentives for undertaking major reforms in all candidate countries."
Mungiu-Pippidi explains:
"Politics changed importantly after Romania applied for EU membership, and furthermore, after it was granted 'candidate' status in 1999. This meant that tutorship from Brussels had become acceptable even for the PDSR […]. The prospect of accession to the EU opened the door for a new type of political change, a change pushed form below but taking advantage of external conditionality, necessary in a society where powerful people remained above the law. From 1996 on, democratization progressed slowly but irreversibly in nearly every field."
Romania still faces a number of problems, particularly when it comes to the strength of its democratic institutions, including in particular an independent judiciary. However, Romania is one of the countries in Europe that has changed the most over the last decade. As Alina Mungiu-Pippidi puts it:
"The existence of a European option prevented Romania from staying as Albania or regressing to become a new Belarus […]. More than any constitutional or electoral law, European integration and the prospect of accession to the EU have shaped Romanian politics, and it is in this challenging environment that Europe achieved its largest success to-date. Romania's transition may have seemed long an strenuous for Romanians, but from Ceausescu's snipers and Iliescu's vigilante miners to the signing of the Accession Treaty with the EU [it] has taken only fifteen years."

This calendar is composed of outreach events related to agricultural management practices that align with FREP's mission. To add an outreach event, contact us at email@example.com.
What is the Alfalfa Symposium?
The Western Alfalfa & Forage Symposium is a comprehensive program on the many issues facing alfalfa and forage crops. Forages represent a major component of western farming and impact many other enterprises such as dairy farming, beef production, sheep, goats, as well as honey, agricultural industries and environmental issues. This symposium covers topics ranging from economics and markets, regulatory trends, industry issues, pest management, forage quality, irrigation, genetics to impacts and the environment. The symposium is a "must" for anyone interested in these important crops.
Organizational Process
The 2019 Western Alfalfa & Forage Symposium is organized by University Cooperative Extension Services of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, in cooperation with grower members of the California Alfalfa & Forage Association. The symposium is currently in its 49th year, and is hosted by the California Alfalfa & Forage Association, representing thousands of California forage growers.
Who Should Attend?
Farmers, Pest Control Advisors, Certified Crop Advisors, industry members, agency representatives, Cooperative Extension personnel, and anyone who wishes to be informed about important issues related to alfalfa and forages.

Forget the idea that Prop 30 would simply raise income taxes on "millionaires" (actually anyone who makes over $250,000 a year).
It is the second part… the hike in the state sales tax that could be its downfall.
The increase isn't that much, says the Governor. California's sales tax currently at 7.25 percent, would be raised to 7.5 percent. In Los Angeles County, which like others has increased the tax on its own, the rate would climb to 9 percent.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
But here's the rub. The sales tax would not only drive up the cost of everything you buy (except groceries) but also the price of… wait for it….. GAS!
Or would it?
The "No on 30" campaign has purchased ad time equating Prop 30 with an increase in the price of gasoline. A woman in a kitchen laments the impact it would have on her household budget "…a billion dollars a year for gasoline, clothes, things we buy every day."
But wait! The California legislature in 2010 did away with the sales tax on gasoline. Instead they increased the excise tax on those who produce the gasoline. It would be up to the gasoline supplier to pass the increase in cost on to the motorist (which they do).
It is sort of an indirect tax that gave the state some greater flexibility in how to spend the money.
The state's independent Legislative Analyst Office said the "No on 30" advertisement was accurate for diesel fuel.. but not gasoline.
But as they say in the infomercials… wait, there's more!
The 2010 law that removed the sales tax from gasoline was a statute, meaning that it was adopted by the legislature. Proposition 30 is a constitutional amendment which is different.
According to legal counsel for the "No on 30" campaign, the measure is not covered by the 2010 law and therefore will have a direct impact on the price of gasoline. They'll keep running the ads.
Oh… and then there is the other controversy about who is paying for those television spots.
Much of the money comes from a late donation of about 11 million dollars from an Arizona group called "Americans for Responsible Leadership."
Exactly who they are is sort of un-known. It is believed much of the money comes from David and Charles Koch a pair are libertarian Republicans in the oil industry who have spent millions on conservative campaigns. California Common Cause has asked the state Fair Political Practices Commission to investigate the group. The Governor believes their contribution may be illegal.
"Our attorneys checked them out and they are legitimate" says Joel Fox, of the Small Business Action Committee, which took the donation. "I can't speak for them but I can speak for us, and everything we have done is legal."
In the meantime… the pressure is on. The FPPC says it asked the Arizona group for information about its donors. Jerry Brown says he is in full-court-press mode for the final weeks of the campaign… and more and more the push toward election day becomes less important.
Voters are voting… now.

This article needs to be rewritten to comply with Tolkien Gateway's higher standards...
|"Rebecca Guay" by Rebecca Guay
|General Information
|Other names
|Elves of Lórien, Elves of Lórinand, Tree-people
|Silvan Elves of Lothlórien
|Lothlórien, East Lórien, Belfalas
|Silvan Elvish, Sindarin, Westron
|Haldir, Rúmil, Orophin, Amdír, Amroth, Nimrodel, Mithrellas, Celeborn, Galadriel
|Physical Description
The Galadhrim or the Tree-people were the Elves, mostly Silvan in origin, who inhabited the woods of Lothlórien.
Some of the Nandor, the Telerin Elves who abandoned the Great Journey of the Eldar on the eastern side of the Misty Mountains, settled down in the Vales of Anduin and later on established the realms of Mirkwood in the north and Lindórinand in the south of Greenwood the Great.
In the beginning the Silvan Elves of Lórien were a small and scattered people, and as the power of the Longbeards of Moria grew, they relocated to the eastern side of the Anduin.
Second Age
After the War of Wrath at the beginning of the Second Age many of the Sindar of Beleriand migrated eastward. The Elves of Lórien welcomed them. The coming of the Sindar was a great boost to the power and culture of the Silvan Elves. The Silvan language was replaced by Sindarin.
The arrival of one in particular affected them: the Sinda Amdír took over Lórien. Under his leadership the people of Lórien prospered and their numbers grew. Amdir led an army of Galadhrim to the War of the Last Alliance, where most of them, including Amdír himself, were slain in the Battle of Dagorlad.
Third Age
The Galadhrim were now ruled by Amroth the son of Amdír. Around T.A. 1409, some Galadhrim passed over the Misty Mountains to join forces with Rivendell under Elrond against Angmar. Along with assistance with the Elves of Lindon, they were successful in subduing the witch-kingdom for some time.[1]
Around T.A. 1980 with the freeing of the Balrog in Moria many of the Galadhrim fled south to Edhellond and sailed over Sea to Valinor. Amroth grew weary of Middle-earth and wished to sail. But he drowned in the Bay of Belfalas.
In her wisdom Galadriel saw that Lórien would be a stronghold and a point of power to prevent the shadow from crossing the Anduin, for the Galadhrim were hardy and valiant. But they needed a ruler of greater strength and wisdom than they possessed. That is why Galadriel and Celeborn took up their permanent abode in Lórien and its government. Under the leadership of Galadriel and Celeborn the Galadhrim prospered and their skill grew.
The Galadhrim defended their home against orcs, who attacked around the end of the Third Age, just before Sauron was destroyed. The Galadhrim weathered all of the attacks.
With the departure over Sea of Galadriel, most of the Galadhrim went with Celeborn to East Lórien.
The Galadhrim prospered and were instructed under their Sindarin rulers, and afterwards by their Lord and Lady. They became proficient in making Lembas, Elven rope, Elven-cloaks and many other crafts. They lived in telain built in the trees.
They spoke Silvan Elvish, and a dialect of Sindarin. Some, like Haldir, but not all, could speak Westron.
Galadhrim is a Sindarin name meaning "Tree-people". The name consists of galadh ("tree") + rim(b) ("great number").[2] See also LotR (50th) p. 341.
In the first edition of The Lord of the Rings, Galadhrim was spelt Galadrim. In later editions, this was emended to the former, which Tolkien had decided was the correct Sindarin form.[3]

Kinda Lame
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I set this up on my girlfriend's car, and I just can't get a secure fit. The straps slip no matter what you do. Pretty disappointed.
Great Rack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This Thule rack is great. Large enough to carry that third bike if needed. It has a sleek design, easy to put on/take off bikes, folds fairly compact for storage, light weight, simple to install on car, should be durable to withstand many years of use, and will universally fit the cars we need. Overall this rack is perfect!

On my 2011 Jetta with one bike. Also the Thule Rack and Box I bought from Backcountry store.
good rack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I really like it but wish I got the roof bike rack for my thule rack. I got this because I have 3 kids and myself. I will add the roof rack to. I had this rack on the back with no bikes and hit a bump it fell off hit the road. It was scratched a lot but no bending at least. I had it on there good to. With bikes on there it doesn't even move. I have it real tight and it does fold up while on the car but hard to do takes a few minutes. I don't bother doing it to much work just leave it out. I take off car when not using and place in trunk takes up very small space. Over all It is good solid rack. Just make sure you put on car tight.
Thule Gateway 3 Bike
This rack is great - solid construction and very versatile. The straps hold the bikes tight to avoid sway damage. This is used on an SUV easily and will be compatible with the sedan I plan on purchasing.
The backcountry product description is a bit deceiving, it includes locking cable and trunk strap information. It also states "locks included" under Tech Specs. Those locks aren't actually included with the product. I've contacted customer service and they state they aren't included and I can return it. Not sure what the situation is but the info page is not accurate - still a great rack though. I'd use caution when purchasing anything from the site and I probably won't in the future.
Does this bike rack fit onto a hatchback...
Does this bike rack fit onto a hatchback or SUV?
Yes, it technically can, however I would say it is not the best option. The reason being is that the way this rack would attach to the back of a hatchback or SUV would be nearly vertical and all the weight of the bikes would be placed on the upper straps. Since the surface is nearly vertical, combined with the weight of the bikes on the rack, the possibly of the rack coming off the glass/hatch is likely and would not make for a very stable platform. In short, I would only use this rack for short distances on a hatch or SUV with 1 or 2 lightweight bikes. To put 3 bikes on this rack in that scenario would be asking for an insurance claim in my opinion. The best option would be a hitch mounted rack or roof rack for those vehicles IMO.
Gotta say... I disagree with Kevin. The straps hold the rack onto the car (keeping it in static friction) but most of the weight is borne by the arms of the rack itself.
This is just the kind of rack I would look for for a car with an angled rear roofline. If the back of the car is perfectly vertical, then yes, I'd agree with Kevin, but if there's enough angle there to keep the rack from slipping, then the rack will bear most of the load.
I'm just speaking from my experience with a Saris Bones 3 on various vehicles. I was unclear saying all the weight of the bikes is put on the upper straps as depending on the bumper, the lower arms will typically take a lot of the weight. However depending on the angle of the back, it can just create a pivot point for the rack to move. When using the rack on a Subaru Imprezza hatch with 2 30 lb mountain bikes on the closest positions, even with the straps fully taught, the rack was moving off the hatch glass and just waiting for the bikes to rip off the car at highway speeds. This was even after retightening the straps several times. Only after we removed the wheels from the bikes to create less drag could I focus on the road instead of the bikes on the back of my car. Certainly not a situation I would recommend this type of bike rack for an avid biker going on trips further than their actual ride. After using a hitch rack with trays such as the Kuat NV or Thule T2, or even a decent roof rack like a Thule Sidearm, you will never, EVER want to deal with the hassle of these racks again. This is coming from my experience. If you are using this for recreational use here and there, you'd probably be fine.
Is it the best option? Not in my opinion.
Will it get by? Yes.

CARE Package
The extraordinary story of an ordinary box
Seventy years after World War II, the CARE Package has evolved and today powers change in new, lasting ways for the people who need it most.
The history of the CARE Package
"Every CARE Package is a personal contribution to the world peace our nation seeks. It expresses America's concern and friendship in a language all peoples understand." – President John F. Kennedy, 1962
What was in the first CARE Packages?
Learn more about our history and what exactly was in the very first CARE Package®.
The original CARE Package®
CARE was founded in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages to survivors of World War II. Thousands of Americans, including President Harry S. Truman, contributed to the effort. On May 11, 1946, the first 15,000 packages reached the battered port of Le Havre, France.
These early packages were U.S. Army surplus "10-in-1" food parcels intended to provide one meal for 10 soldiers during the planned invasion of Japan. We obtained them at the end of the war and began a service that let Americans send the packages to friends and families in Europe, where millions were in danger of starvation. Ten dollars bought a CARE Package and guaranteed that its addressee would receive it within four months.
A New Kind of CARE Package

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has referred the southern African nation of Malawi to the UN Security Council for refusing to arrest Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.
Malawi and Chad hosted Bashir in October for trade summits. This was despite the fact there is an outstanding ICC arrest warrant for Bashir on charges of war crimes and genocide in Sudan's Darfur region.
Malawi, the court said, argued that customary international law creates an exception for heads of state wanted for international crimes. "The judges noted that immunity for heads of state before international courts has been rejected time and time again dating all the way back to World War I," the court said.
Bashir's case is fast becoming a regional flash point. "Many African leaders accuse the ICC of only investigating alleged war crimes in Africa and ignoring those committed elsewhere," notes the BBC. Last week, the Ivory Coast's ex-president became the first former head of state to face judges at the ICC.
Chad, Kenya and Djibouti have also been referred to the UN Security Council for refusing to arrest Mr Bashir, even though they recognise the ICC.
Last month, a Kenyan court criticised the government for failing to arrest Mr Bashir when he visited in August and issued its own warrant. Kenyan Foreign Minister Moses Wetangula said the government would appeal against the ruling and it would not arrest Mr Bashir if he visited again. "We have voiced concerns about the manner in which the ICC has been pursuing African leaders and leaving leaders with much, much heavier responsibility of human rights and murderous actions," he said, pointing to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So far, at least 300,000 people have been killed and more than 2.5 million displaced in the civil war between the Khartoum government and Darfur provinces.
In related news: Gambian lawyer Fatou Bensouda has been officially elected as the ICC's new chief prosecutor . Bensouda becomes the first African to "hold the top post at a time when the ICC is almost exclusively focused on the continent," reports Al Jazeera.
