This guide was created by Hester Swift, Foreign & International Law Librarian at the IALS Library.

We also recommend the following online research guides for international law.
The United Nations (UN) was established in 1945 after the collapse of its forerunner, the League of Nations. Its purpose is to safeguard international peace and security, to promote justice and international law, to protect human rights and to foster cooperation between sovereign states in tackling social and economic problems worldwide. Participation is now almost universal, with 193 member states.
The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library has documents and publications issued by the UN where they are of legal interest, but it is not a UN depository. A good collection of scholarly commentary on the work of the UN is held, and the library also subscribes to HeinOnline's United Nations Law Collection.
This research guide is structured by type of source - treaties, cases, books and so on - rather than by subject. For an introduction to researching the work of the UN in the particular areas of law, such as human rights, or peace and security, see the research guides produced by the UN's Dag Hammarskjöld Library.
The UN has six principal organs, as laid down in Article 7 of its founding Charter:
The General Assembly: a deliberative, policy-making body, in which all member states are represented. It has six main committees, the Sixth Committee being the one which deals with legal matters. The International Law Commission is a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly.
The Security Council: the UN institution primarily responsible for maintaining international peace and security; it has five permanent members, plus ten members elected for two-year terms.
The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC): manages the UN's economic and social development work and draws up policy in this area; has numerous subsidiary bodies, such as the Human Rights Commission, the Commission on Sustainable Development and the Commission on the Status of Women.
The International Court of Justice: the UN's primary judicial body, sometimes known as the World Court; it issues rulings on disputes between states (who participate voluntarily) and gives advisory opinions to the UN and its specialised agencies; its structure, functions and procedures are set out in chapter XIV of the UN Charter, in the Court's Statute, in practice directions and in court rules; non-members of the UN may become parties to the ICJ, or may submit themselves to its jurisdiction in specific cases.
The Secretariat: this is the UN's main administrative organ, staffed by public servants who carry out the day-to-day work of the UN; it is headed by the Secretary-General.
The Trusteeship Council: set up after the Second World War to administer various territories and oversee their transition to self-government; suspended its actitivities in 1994, when the last of the trust territories became independent.
As well as the six central institutions, the UN has a large number of specialised agencies, programmes, offices and funds; together, the central institutions and other bodies constitute what is known as the 'UN System'. The specialised agencies are bodies such as the International Labour Organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the International Monetary Fund, which are linked to the UN by cooperative agreements. Other entities within the UN System include the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the UN Development Programme, among many others.
The scope of this research guide is largely restricted to the core UN institutions. However, IALS's collections do include som material relating to parts of the wider UN System, where they are of legal interest - see Library Catalogue.
Further information about the UN System can be found on the UN website.
The Charter of the United Nations is the UN's founding document, signed at San Francisco on 26 June 1945. It has since been amended several times (Introductory Note, UN website). The Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is annexed to the Charter and is deemed to be an integral part of it. So far the Statute has not been amended (Basic Documents, ICJ website).
Print sources
The official original versions of the Charter and Statute were published in Documents of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, San Francisco, 1945, volume 15 (United Nations Information Organizations, 1945-55), which is held at IALS Library.
For amended versions of the Charter, see Charter of the United Nations, statute and rules of court and other documents (International Court of Justice, 2007), or Blackstone's International Law Documents, 11th ed. (Oxford University Press, 2013); both are held at IALS.
Online sources
The original versions of the Charter and Statute are in volume 1 of the Yearbook of the United Nations, which is available on the UN website. An amended version of the Charter is on the UN website, with an introductory note. Charter and Statute are also on the subscription database HeinOnline, as follows:-
HeinOnline UN Law Collection, Documents of the United Nations Conference...(vol. 15) (original text)
HeinOnline UN Law Collection, Handbook on the peaceful settlement of disputes between states (Charter as amended).
HeinOnline Treaties and Agreements Library, as published in 3 Bevans 1153, with the first two sets of amendments to the Charter.
HeinOnline is available to IALS Library members via the Electronic Law Library.
Commentaries on the Charter and Statute
Several commentaries are held by IALS Library, including:
Bardo Fassbender, The United Nations Charter as the constitution of the international community (Brill, 2009).
A Zimmerman, C Tomuschat and K Oellers-Frahm (eds), The Statute of the International Court of Justice : a commentary, 2nd ed. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
Bruno Simma (ed), The Charter of the United Nations: a commentary, 3rd ed. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
See Library Catalogue for other titles.
Under article 102 of the UN Charter, all treaties in which UN member states participate have to be registered with the Secretary-General, who must then publish them. The purpose of this requirement is to avoid secret diplomacy.
The Secretary-General also has a separate treaty function, acting as depositary for more than 560 multilateral treaties. These are either treaties of worldwide interest, or treaties drawn up under the aegis of UN regional commissions and open to their entire membership. Detailed information about the depositary function can be found in Summary of practice of the Secretary-General as depositary of multilateral treaties (United Nations,1994), available at IALS Library; 1999 reissue on UN Treaty Collection website.
The United Nations Treaty Series and League of Nations Treaty Series
Treaties registered with the Secretary-General under article 102 are published in the United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS), in the original language, with translations into English and French where necessary. However, the regulations on the application of article 102 provide that the Secretariat may decide not to publish certain types of treaty in full (A/RES/97(I), as amended by A/RES/364(IV), A/RES/482(V) and A/RES/33/141).
Treaties registered with the League of Nations were published in the League of Nations Treaty Series (LNTS).
IALS has the entire League of Nations Treaty Series (1920-1946) and the UN Treaty Series from volume 1 (1946) to volume 2174 (2002); both are held in offsite storage, from where it can be retrieved within 72 hours. Both titles are available on the UN Treaty Collection website and in HeinOnline's UN Law Collection (via IALS Electronic Law Library).
There is a substantial time-lag before a new treaty appears in the UNTS: a treaty may appear first in the national treaty series of one of the parties, or another publication: see IALS Public International Law research guide.
The United Nations Treaty Collection (UNTC)
The UN Treaty Collection is a vast library of UN and League of Nations treaties and related information. It includes the following sources (and more):-
UN Treaty Series: searchable database with browseable list of volumes; gives status information for each treaty.
League of Nations Treaty Series: searchable database with browseable list of volumes; gives status information for each treaty.
Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General (MTDSG): this database appears on the UNTC homepage under 'Status of Treaties Deposited...'. It gives detailed information about the 560+ treaties for which the UN Secretary General is the depositary. MTDSG used to be an annual print publication; the annual version is held at IALS 1967 - 2006 and digital versions of it are on HeinOnline.
Monthly Statement: online version of Statement of Treaties and International Agreements Registered or Filed and Recorded with the Secretariat, 1946 to date. Lists treaties recently registered by member states, giving title, date of conclusion, date and method of entry into force; annexes cover ratifications, accessions and other treaty actions. The print edition has annual cumulative indexes in each December issue (up to and including December 1997); it is held at IALS from 1978-July 2009 and is also on HeinOnline (1983 to date).
Treaty indexes
The LNTS has a cumulative index. The UNTS has an index for every fifty volumes, but these are not cumulative, so it is easier to look UN treaties up in the UN Treaty Collection or in HeinOnline's UN Law Collection. Other treaty indexes include:
This section covers the International Court of Justice (the UN's principal judicial body, sometimes known as the World Court), the Permanent Court of International Justice (forerunner of the ICJ), and the UN international criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia; for information about other international courts and tribunals, see Dag Hammarskjöld Library's International Law research guide and IALS Library's Public International Law research guide.
International Court of Justice (ICJ)
The International Court of Justice publishes its decisions in Reports of judgments, advisory opinions and orders and related case documentation appears in Pleadings, oral arguments, documents. Both series are held at IALS Library.
All ICJ decisions are on the ICJ website, together with press releases detailing the filing of new cases and other developments. All ICJ cases are also on Lexis®Library (International Court of Justice Decisions Combined) and Westlaw International Materials ('Administrative Materials' - 'Multi-National').
The Statute of the International Court of Justice, its rules, practice directions and related materials are published in the irregular series Acts and documents concerning the organization of the Court (held at IALS). They are also available via the Basic Documents page of the ICJ website. Information about the composition, organisation, jurisdiction and rules of the Court can be found in its Yearbook (Sijthoff, 1947 - ). IALS holds the printed volumes of the Yearbook and it is also on HeinOnline.
Digests of ICJ cases can be found at IALS in the following compilations:
IALS also has the ICJ's annual report, Report of the International Court of Justice, 1968/1969 -1986/1987 only; also on ICJ website (1985/86 onwards).
Indexes and bibliographies covering the work of the ICJ include:

Detailed one-volume compilation of procedural and legal information about all ICJ decisions in the period covered, with indexes by article number of the ICJ Statute and UN Charter, basic subject indexes and indexes of treaties and arbitral awards cited; held at IALS.
Bibliography of the International Court of Justice (The Court, 1947- ). IALS has issues 1 to 49, covering 1946 to 1995.
Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ)
The Permanent Court of International Justice was the forerunner of the ICJ; it was active from 1922 to 1946. It published its documentation in the series Publications of the Permanent Court of International Justice (held at IALS), as follows:-
IALS also has Series D, Acts and documents concerning the organisation of the court; Series E, annual report...; and Series F, General index of the publications of the Court.

Detailed one-volume compilation of procedural and legal information about all PCIJ decisions, with indexes by article number of the League of Nations Covenant and the PCIJ Statute, basic subject indexes and indexes of treaties and arbitral awards cited; held at IALS.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was active from 1993 until 2017. Its decisions are published in the series Judicial reports (Kluwer/Brill, c.1999- ), which is held at IALS. There is a time-lag of many years before new cases appear in Judicial reports, but the tribunal's website has all its decisions, plus constitutional documents, practice directions, rules and other materials.
Selected ICTY decisions appear in the following sources, all available from IALS Library:
Oxford Reports on International Law: International Criminal Law - an OUP database available via the IALS Electronic Law Library.
Genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity: topical digests of the case law of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (Human Rights Watch, 2004). The Human Rights Watch website provides a downloadable 2006 version of this title covering the Former Yugoslavia only.
For a few years the ICTY's Yearbook published reports on its activities together with indictments, speeches, lists of documents and so on. IALS has the Yearbook from 1995 to 1998; it ceased publication with the 1999 volume.
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was active from 1994 until 2015. All its decisions are on the tribunal's legacy website, together with constitutional documents, practice directions, rules and other material.
Selected decisions of the Rwanda tribunal can be found in the following sources, all available at IALS:
Annotated leading cases of International Criminal Tribunals (Intersentia, 1999 - )
Oxford Reports on International Law: International Criminal Law: an OUP online resource available via the IALS Electronic Law Library.
Genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity: topical digests...(Human Rights Watch, 2004). The Human Rights Watch website provides a 2010 version of this title covering Rwanda cases.
The International Law Centre at the Université Libre de Bruxelles compiled the Rwanda Tribunal's decisions up to 2006 under the title International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda: reports of orders, decisions and judgments. Several volumes of this series were published by Bruylant (not held at IALS), then it became an online publication, on the International Law Centre's website.
IALS Library also has the CD-ROM collection, Basic documents and case law (1995-2006), consisting of the tribunal's decisions, constitutional documents, rules, and other material, compiled by the Rwanda Tribunal's Legal Library.
The UN has produced the series Reports of international arbitral awards (RIAA) since 1948. It is a collection of decisions made in international arbitration cases, excluding commercial arbitration. The reports are in either English or French, with summaries in both languages. Awards made prior to the foundation of the UN are included in the series.
The whole RIAA series is on the UN website. IALS has the printed edition of RIAA up to volume 20 (1994) and has access to the full series on HeinOnline (via IALS Electronic Law Library).
Information about finding key types of UN document is given below. A UN document is defined as a text submitted to a principal or subsidiary organ of the UN for consideration by it (such as a resolution), as against a UN 'publication', which is material intended for the public (for example, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Women and the right to adequate housing. United Nations, 2012).
For further information about UN documentation, see the research guide produced by the UN's Dag Hammarskjöld Library.
Reference numbers
The UN identifies its documents by a system of 'symbols' consisting of letters and numbers, for example 'A/66/L.38' or 'S/2013/140' (see Dag Hammarskjöld Library's research guide for details). A UN document can easily be found in the Official Document System by entering the document symbol.
General Assembly resolutions are all on its website and also in the UN Official Document System (ODS). In printed form, they can be found at IALS in the supplement to the Official Records, Resolutions and decisions adopted by the General Assembly (formerly Resolutions adopted by the General Assembly), 1946 onwards; this title is also on HeinOnline. In addition, IALS has Djonovich's compilation, United Nations resolutions: Series 1, Resolutions adopted by the General Assembly (1946-1985/86), published by Oceana.
Security Council resolutions are all on the Security Council website and the ODS. In printed form, they appear in Resolutions and decisions of the Security Council; this is not held at IALS, but we do have the Oceana title, United Nations resolutions. Series 2, Resolutions and decisions of the Security Council, compiled by Dusan J. Djonovich.
Individual Economic and Social Council resolutions are on its website from 2001 onwards, together with links to annual compilations of resolutions and decisions from 1946 to 2000. All ECOSOC resolutions are also available via the ODS.
The Yearbook of the United Nations reproduces significant resolutions of the Security Council, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council. The whole series is on the UN website (not held at IALS).
Meeting records
Principal organs and other bodies produce either verbatim or summary records of their meetings. Verbatim meeting records are denoted by 'PV' in the document symbol and summary records by 'SR'.
IALS Library does not hold UN meeting records, but they are available online and/or in UN depository libraries, as detailed below:-
Security Council verbatim records: in the Official Document System from 1946 onwards and on the Security Council website 1994 onwards. They form part of the Security Council Official Records (SCOR), which are held in printed format by UN depository libraries (not at IALS).
General Assembly verbatim records: in the Official Document System from 1946 onwards (but verbatim records of GA plenary meetings have been consistently produced only from the 5th session onwards); verbatim records form part of the General Assembly's Official Records (GAOR), which are held by UN depository libraries.
General Assembly Sixth Committee (Legal): the committee's summary records are in the Official Document System from 1946 onwards; HeinOnline's UN Law Collection has them from 1946 to 2005, under Official Records of the General Assembly, Summary Records of the Sixth Committee; they are held at IALS in printed format from 1951/52 to 1975 only, under the title Summary Record of Meetings.
For information about meeting records issued by other UN bodies, see Dag Hammarskjöld Library's UN Documentation research guide.
Official records are not published for all UN meetings: if no official record exists, information about the meeting may be available in a press release or annual report, or in the daily Journal of the United Nations. The Journal has a section called 'Summary of Official Meetings' covering the previous day; the series is on the UN website from 2003 onwards and the printed version is held at many libraries (but not at IALS).
Voting records
The voting records of the General Assembly and Security Council are available in the UN Digital Library.
General Assembly and Security Council votes are officially recorded in their meeting records (see above). They also appear in the sessional titles, Resolutions and decisions adopted by the General Assembly (held at IALS) and Resolutions and decisions of the Security Council (not held at IALS - see depository libraries).
There is a convenient chronological collection of declarations contained in General Assembly resolutions on the GA website, 1948 to date. Declarations are also in the UN Official Document System.
Reports, memoranda, communications, letters, other documents
UN official documents of many different types are available in the Official Document System (ODS), the UN Digital Library (UNDL) and/or HeinOnline's UN Law Collection. (Although both the ODS and UNDL include official documents, their search facilities are very different so it is worth trying both.)
To trace documents not found online and not held at IALS Library, use a UN depository library.

KTLA Weather Reporter Embarrassed on Live TV Over Little Black Dress
Source: www.youtube.com / Via: www.youtube.com
I can guarantee that most professional women have gone through an experience like this — you need something to wear to work, everything else is in the laundry basket or doesn't look right for whatever reason, and you think, "Screw it, I'm throwing on this thing that looks more like a party dress. A bit of sparkles and spaghetti straps never killed anybody."
That was probably KTLA meteorologist Liberte Chan's mindset when she was reporting the morning weather in a beaded black dress that showed her arms, shoulders and the slightest hint of cleavage (GASP), but the network's pearl-clutching demographic wasn't feeling it.
In the middle of Chan's report, the disembodied hand of her male colleague appeared on the right side of the screen, waving a frumpy gray cardigan.
"You want me to put this on?" a puzzled Chan asked. "Why, because it's cold?"
"We've been getting a lot of emails," the news anchor announced, in front of God and everybody.
Smooth move, dude.
Chan was noticeably flustered but played it off as a joke. "I look like a librarian now," she complained, tying the ends of the sweater around her waist.
For the record, the strappy black dress was only a backup. The demure patterned dress she was initially wearing didn't work, she later explained on Twitter, because it "[chroma] keyed out," meaning it interfered with the green screen. In a Facebook video she posted later, she displayed the original dress while the news anchor read out some of the emails, which basically accused her of looking like she stayed out late at a party and came to work in last night's dress.
"Can we talk about my weather performance, my standing in front of the green screen?" she said, sounding annoyed.
"That's it, people. I don't know why everyone's hating, I don't know what to tell you."
It's also worth pointing out that the Facebook video reveals the news anchor wearing cargo shorts and sneakers underneath the desk.
Feedback online has been mostly critical of the male anchor for calling her out on live TV like that.

Since the video went viral, Chan has put up a blog post clarifying the situation:
I've worked on-air for 10 years and by now, I've learned that everyone has an opinion and you have to have a thick skin to work in this business. It's a visual medium and sometimes your outfit works and sometimes it doesn't. […]
For the record, I was not ordered by KTLA to put on the sweater. I was simply playing along with my co-anchor's joke, and if you've ever watched the morning show, you know we poke fun at each other all the time.
And, also for the record, there is no controversy at KTLA. My bosses did not order me to put on the cardigan, it was a spontaneous moment.. I truly love my job, I like my bosses and enjoy working with my coworkers. Since talking to my team, I want our viewers to know it was never our intention to offend anyone. We are friends on and off the air and if you watch our newscast, you know that.

This is a great replacement for a failed TV tuner.
- Pueblo, CO -
I purchased my first one of these to fix a 24 Vizio TV in the bedroom. The TV's tuner forgot all its channels each time it was turned off. Rather than rescan channels each time I wanted to watch TV, I was faced with either replacing the TV or using an external tuner. For $35 it was much less expensive to get the CM-7003. I was very happy with the results.
Since then, I have purchased two more of these. One to replace the tuner in a 49 Toshiba TV (that had lost the ability to tune in the low VHS range) and the other to replace the tuner in a 55 Hisense TV (that had frequent audio dropouts when tuning 5.1 channels).
So far, all of my CM-7003 devices have performed flawlessly as external tuners. I have never used the DVR capabilities of this device.
Disappointing Channel Master product
Sig C. Kerr
- Central, VA -
I depend on deep fringe signals from stations over 70 miles away to get a good variety of programming, and I discovered years ago that a good converter box was better at pulling those stations in than my HD TV set by itself. After much roof-top trial and experimentation I now have what I consider the best antenna configuration available and that includes a Solid Signal HDB91X UHF antenna, a Channel Master Titan II model 7777 preamp, and a Channel Master rotor. So when this Channel Master DVR/Converter Box went on sale I decided to give it a try, hoping to upgrade my old converter box to a better one with HDMI output and recording capabilities. Unfortunately, the Channel Master box did not come close to matching the sensitivity of my old converter box so the more distant, weaker stations that I have been watching for years were completely unavailable with it. Just as disappointing and unexpected was the fact that this Channel Master box does not save previously scanned channels in its memory when you do a rescan, rendering it completely unsatisfactory for use if you depend on a rotor to get stations from multiple directions. I guess you get what you pay for but I really expected better engineering from a product with the Channel Master name on it. If all your OTA signals are from relatively strong stations in one direction you might find this box useful, but if you use a rotor, or if some of your channels have borderline signal strength, don't even bother with it.

Swatch Sushi- Revlon ColorBust Matte Lip Balms
There are movies on life of Doctor, Sailor, Wanderer, Jogger (Pun intended for the rhyme, I mean athlete actually), Roger (very funny, ok no Roger), but not on Blogger??!! Or is it there and I am just not aware of it?? Girls, let me know if there is any!
So if there is a movie on Beauty Blogger, what would you see?? Most of us would imagine the female protagonist (may be male too, see I don't bias, though I am a hardcore feminist) waking up in the morning, getting ready for work, struggling clicking selfies for that one damn FOTD (ya no one comes for help ), reaching office, getting grilled, taking a time off and typing something for the blog, running for a client call, if time permits stopping for lunch and sneaking into a make-up counter and taking swatch pictures and some fine day writing about it. Phew!! No doubt there is no movie made on a bloggers.
So today is that FINE day. Yes, so one of these days I stopped over for lunch (actually I wanted to go to loo as well) at R-City. I had time for the next meeting so thought of checking the Revlon new launch.
Revlon Says:
"Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm. A Matte finish that's beyond plush. Balm that's beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips."
INR 800 per 2.7 gm
First Look Verdict:
Revlon ColorBust Matte lip Balms have been finally launched in India along with its creamy series which is called Revlon Lacquer.
These are nothing but chubby lip crayons, which all the make-up companies these days seem to be launching after one another.
Both the range have 8 variants each.
I swatched all the shades from the matte range. The application is pretty creamy barring a few shades. The pigmentation is good and gives completely opaque finish on the second swatch. Let me tell you the end results are not completely matte but the velvety claim is indeed true. Surprisingly it also gives a cooling effect to the lips. I could feel it and asked the SA the reason. She said the lip colors contained menthol as the cooling agent. And this is my look out on the shades:-
(The colors look much better in person, this being a mobile pic doesnt do a justice to the actual shades.)
- Shameless: A deep plum purple shade for a gothic or a bad girl look (I am referring to Rihanna here) . Interested in experimenting, then go for it.
- Elusive: A pretty cool pink and definitely a dupe of MAC Twig
- Sultry: Terracotta Rosey shade, very similar to Inglot AMC Lip Pencil 23 or Lakme 9-to f Scarlet Motive .
- Standout: Tomato red but very sure shot wearable
- Striking: Brick Red. Not impressed with the texture though.
- Unapologetic: Neon pink similar to MAC Impassioned or Maybelline POW 2 & 4
- Mischievous: Candy Orange Shade just like the orange toffee we used to fight for during our childhood days
- Audacious: Neon Orange. Fair fairies would love this.
I didn't buy any of these as I didn't find them to be out of the box or very unique. I have more or less all the shades from other brands. Moreover they are super expensive. Though if you want to splurge, they are a good option to pamper yourself----- TURN STRIKINGLY MISHEVIOUS, SULTRY, AUDACIOUS,ELUSIVE and SHAMELESSLY UNAPOLEGETIC about it!! ;)
P.S: The top most Lip crayon picture has been borrowed from Revlon's offical site.

20 trends for Fall/Winter 2015-2016
With graphic black and white, hard-hitting punk, folksy tribal, military styling and an Eighties comeback, the continuation of a Seventies Summer tells a story of multiple influences for Fall/Winter 2015-2016, in a celebration of personal style. We edit the trends on the runway this Fashion Week.
Graphic black and white Checks, stripes, diamonds, zebra print and Rorschach-style motifs all came into play this fashion month. Black and white prints at Valentino, Saint Laurent and Emilio Pucci created an optical style illusion, ready to be reflected on the street in myriad ways. From left to right: Valentino, Saint Laurent and Emilio Pucci Also seen at: Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Louis Vuitton...
Reefer jackets Based on the U.S. Navy's double-breasted blue coat, the reefer jacket is back for Fall/Winter 2015-2016. In a seafaring echo to the military trend, at Chloé the reefer was worn ultra long, while Nina Ricci paired it with a sheer lace skirt. At Michael Kors it was thrown over the shoulders, Italian-style. Frome left to right: Chloé, Nina Ricci and Michael Kors Also seen at: Isabel Marant, Victoria Beckham, Jil Sander...
Arctic fur Summer's tribal trend comes in from the cold for Fall, as designers looked to the indigenous cultures and costumes of more northerly climes at Dsquared², Lanvin and Sacai. Dan and Dean Caten went Arctic with Eskimo-style fur hoods and Alber Elbaz turned to his native Morocco and its folk prints and Berber stripes, while over at Sacai, Chitose Abe adorned his sheepskins with super long plaited threads in a tableau of an African queen. From left to right: Dsquared², Lanvin and Sacai
Velvet nights Seen at Ralph Lauren, Valentino and Chloé, full-length velvet is big for next season. Long, flowing gowns for evening cocoon the body for a striking silhouette that looks set to light up Paris nights come Fall. From left to right: Ralph Lauren Collection, Valentino and Chloé Seen also at: Givenchy, Sonia Rykiel, Lanvin, Maison Margiela
Military style With regimentary navy blue jackets with gold frogging at Gucci, silk stripes, woven pompoms and braid at Lanvin and long black capes with epaulettes and leather buttons at Valentino, military style is on the offensive for Winter. Fashion's front line will be inspired by officers of the US Navy, the Moroccan guard and the Queen's Coldstream guards come Fall. From left to right: Gucci, Lanvin and Valentino Also seen at: Isabel Marant, Chloé, Moncler Gamme Rouge
Slick vinyl "Something more liberated, darker, more sexual" was how Raf Simons described Dior Fall/Winter 2015-2016 with its vinyl trenches, backstage at the show. The high class hooker-esque look also look popped up at Loewe in Eighties lipstick red and at Maison Margiela in floor-grazing jet black, in a part punk, part off-the-wall-aristo reinterpretation. From left to right: Dior, Loewe and Maison Margiela
Breton stripes A Paris style classic, next Winter's Breton stripes were punky at Saint Laurent, form-fitting at Isabel Marant and Lurex glitter Sonia Rykiel. From left to right:: Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant and Sonia Rykiel Also seen at: Junya Watanabe
Folk patchwork In a continuation of Summer's upscale hippy feel, Burberry, Chloé and Etro showed Seventies-influenced wardrobes packed with slouchy luxe shapes. Front and center were patchworks of silk and velvet with a mash-up of bohemian prints that brought Talitha Getty back to life. From left to right: Chloé, Etro and Burberry Prorsum
Skin to skin Cozy fabrics, soft lines and gentle shades of sable and camel make for easy-wear Winter shearling that slips on like a second skin. In floor-skimming inside-out style at Chloé, modern aviator girl at Ralph Lauren or paired with python at Lanvin. From left to right: Chloé, Ralph Lauren Collection and Lanvin Also seen at: Acne Studios, Kenzo, Valentino
Marshmallow colors Baby blue, candyfloss pink, spring chick yellow and almond green made a welcome change from the more intense colors of Summer, marking a definite move towards pastels and acid bonbon shade at Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani. From left to right: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani Also seen at: Dior, Loewe, Fendi...
Punk Designers looked to the punk-rock scene for Fall/Winter 2015-2016 with full-on leather, slashed pants, mini-skirts over ripped tights and chain and stud detailing. Think dark, rebellious Joan Jetts at Balenciaga, Saint Laurent and Givenchy. From left to right: Balenciaga, Saint Laurent and Givenchy Also seen at: Alexander Wang, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Rodarte
Back to the Eighties If Summer is all about the 1970s revival, J.W.Anderson, Loewe, Moschino and many others turned a page in history for Winter, with a Eighties comeback packed with bright looks punctuated with touches of Lurex, patent leather, quilting, vinyl and velvet. Accessories of note included geometric earrings at J.W.Anderson, ski-mask sunglasses and neo-caps in red leather at Moschino. From left to right: J.W.Anderson, Loewe and Moschino
Rivets The rivet took center stage on the runway, in an echo of the galactic trend seen everywhere this season. Circuitry-inspired at Mugler, Star Wars-style at Anthony Vaccarello and white star-shine at Calvin Klein Collection. From left to right: Calvin Klein Collection, Mugler and Anthony Vaccarello Also seen at: Sonia Rykiel
Snow White fur Soft + warm + white was a winning equation on the Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney and Giambattista Valli runways, each of whom reinterpreted the classic fur coat in purest white. From left to right: Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney and Giambattista Valli Also seen at Tommy Hilfiger
Jersey dresses If last Winter was all about flares and chunky knits, this time around its the dress that gets the jersey treatment. A new essential, seen at Céline, Stella McCartney and Chloé. From left to right: Céline, Stella McCartney and Chloé Also seen at: Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Calvin Klein Collection, Sonia Rykiel
Leopard print on acid Off-the-wall reinterpretations of Diana Vreeland's favorite print brought us leopard print in glorious Technicolor this Fashion Week. Dipped in fluro paint, acid-bleached, yellow and red and Louis Vuitton, turquoise blue at Miu Miu and canary yellow at Max Mara. From left to right: Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Max Mara Also seen at: Haider Ackermann
High-shine A common denominator at Bottega Veneta, Paco Rabanne and Louis Vuitton was a high-shine wet-look finish that played with the light. It was a trip back through time, from tulle scattered with sequins and silver thread at Bottega Veneta and Paco Rabanne's jersey and metallic update of the classic 1960s aluminum, celluloid and rhodoid mini-dresses, to starshine rivets at Anthony Vaccarello. From left to right: Bottega Veneta, Paco Rabanne and Anthony Vaccarello Also seena at: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Saint Laurent...
Conceptual dresses While the rest of fashion was looking to military, punk and folk for inspiration this season, Comme des Garçons, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto continued with what they do best: flirting with the conceptual. In a refusal of the season's main trends, designers actually created another one with dresses that called to mind origami, pillowcases and drafting tables. Meet the concept dress. From left to right: Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto Also seen at: Vivienne Westwood
Head-to-toe sequins The girls shone like glitterballs at Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, as designers pulled out all the stops with statement eveningwear. Sequin-covered looks look set to light up the dancefloor next season. From left to right: Ralph Lauren Collection, Marc Jacobs and Nina Ricci Also seen at: Dries Van Noten, Maison Margiela, Sonia Rykiel

HRH Prince Charles
The Prince of Wales, current heir to the throne and eldest son of the Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was born on the 14th November 1948. In 1989, His Royal Highness published the book 'A Vision of Britain' which set out his beliefs in principles of architecture and urban planning – Poundbury is a living embodiment of those ideas.
Fed up with the "monstrous carbuncles" littering Britain's built environment, the Prince asked the architect Léon Krier to masterplan a new settlement on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall (an estate established back in 1337 to provide an income for the heir to the throne). When work began in 1993, the basic idea was simple Poundbury would be a high-density urban quarter of Dorchester which gives priority to people, rather than cars and where commercial buildings are mixed with residential areas, shops and leisure facilities to create a walkable community. This approach aimed to challenge some of the planning assumptions of the latter part of the 20th century and the past decade. As Poundbury has developed, it has demonstrated that there is a genuine alternative to the way in which we build new communities in the UK
But it is the style of architecture – snootily dismissed as "chocolate box" neo-Georgian – that has attracted all the attention. One architectural critic describes the local fire station as "the Parthenon meets Brookside". Another deems the place "a toy town, a museum of a mythical past". There are a few intellectual admirers, however. Novelist Will Wiles thinks Poundbury is "a fabulous curiosity… a psychedelic urban experience". It should be pointed out, Poundbury does have a much wider variety of housing types than its metropolitan critics give it credit for. Among the 1,200 completed homes there are fine five-storey Georgian terraces, cottages crafted from locally sourced, chunky grey stone, and ambitious arts and crafts-type dwellings that channel Charles Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
As at January 2016, Poundbury is home to 3,000 people living in different types of housing, including 35% affordable housing for rent. It provides employment for some 2,000 people working in 170 businesses. Poundbury is over one-half built and when completed in 2025, it is planned to grow to 2,200 homes, increasing Dorchester's population by about one quarter. There are also currently 11 specially built Eco Homes in Poundbury with more planned for the future.
In 1981, Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer and they had two sons – William and Harry. In 1996, the couple divorced and Diana died in a car crash in Paris the following year. In 2005, Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, who uses the title Duchess of Cornwall.
So, why is he a #Houseproud hero?
Prince Charles' ideas for Poundbury has aimed to challenge planning ideas which have often resulted in ghettoised and run-down social housing estates and out-of-town shopping centres, forcing ever greater reliance on the car. Poundbury has proved increasingly influential among industry professionals, attracting international interest and generating many organised tours every year from architects, town planners, academics and house builders. Its success has been recognised far beyond Dorset and many of the founding principles of Poundbury have now been incorporated into the British Government's Planning Guidance Note PPG3.
In 2010, Dorset County Council completed an Economic Impact Assessment of Poundbury, which concluded that the Poundbury development had already contributed over £330 million in demand for goods and services to the local economy and will contribute a further £500 million by 2025. He says
"I was accused of going back to, I don't know what, the Middle Ages. Extraordinary when you think about it. All the volume housebuilders said it couldn't be done. They wouldn't be able to sell their houses next to people on the lowest incomes. But it has worked and I think that approach has helped to add social as well as environmental and, funnily enough, commercial value."

3. The SAX model is the best solution in this case, ans = B.
4. I go with D. xml is justified if there is already a middle-ware that formats the RDB output in XML.
5. I go with B.
6.The answer is B.

5. A DTD is validated by:
a) Running a DTD XML validation program on the platform on which the DTD will be used.
b) Running a validating parser against the DTD.
c) Validating an XML document that references the DTD using a validating XML parser.
d) Checking that a document is well-formed with an XML parser.
e) The XML application responding to SAX exceptions caused by the DTD.
Eventually, most web browsers are likely to support XML directly, therefore eliminating the conversion step and further improving application performance
b) The XML may be served directly to the web client in future releases.

Kevin and Mollie Cooney honored with Emmy Silver Circle Award
KCCI 8, the most-watched station in Des Moines, announced today that news anchors Kevin and Mollie Cooney are being honored as members of the Silver Circle society by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences -- Upper Midwest Chapter.
The husband and wife anchor duo will receive their awards on Saturday, September 13 at Target Field in downtown Minneapolis.
The Silver Circle award recognizes those who have worked in television more than 25 years and have made significant contribution to the industry well above and beyond that required by their job. The award also recognizes honorees that have the highest standards of integrity and honor in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.
"Kevin and Mollie are the 'first couple' of Des Moines television," said KCCI 8 News Director Dave Busiek. "Both have been visible, successful, and accessible members of the market for decades. They are fixtures in the community, having raised three children to adulthood and emceed more community events together than one can possibly remember. They have always represented KCCI 8 and themselves with class."
Kevin Cooney, KCCI 8 News at 5, 6 & 10 co-anchor, joined Channel 8 as a teenager in 1972 and began anchoring weekday newscasts in 1982. He has covered many major events including the Flood of 1993, the inaugurations of Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and the 1993 release of hostages and ISU alumni Thomas Sutherland and Terry Anderson in Lebanon live via satellite, a first in Iowa broadcast history.
In 1999, Kevin won the prestigious Jack Shelley Award for the Iowa Broadcast News Association (IBNA) for his outstanding contribution to broadcast journalism in Iowa. Kevin interviewed President George H. W. Bush onboard Air Force One, and President Clinton in the White House just hours after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. In 2010 and 2013, Kevin was invited back to the White House to interview President Obama.
Mollie Cooney, KCCI 8 News at Noon anchor, first joined the KCCI 8 team in 1976 and immediately began making an impact with her work as a reporter and anchor. She has won several journalism awards, including first place awards for Public Affairs from the IBNA in 2002 and in the Television Division of the Iowa Health Care Media Awards. She also received the Communications Award from the American Heart Association.
In November of 1997, she got the first interview with Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey, parents of the world's only surviving septuplets.
This is not the first time that the Cooneys received honors at the same time. In 1994, Kevin and Mollie were both awarded the prestigious James Schwartz Award for Distinguished Service to Journalism from Iowa State University.
"Kevin and Mollie epitomize all the best qualities you want from a journalist -- un-wavering integrity, dogged pursuit of the truth, and a deep care for the communities they serve," said Brian Sather, President and General Manager KCCI 8. "While I whole-heartedly congratulate them for this award, I know they do the work they do because of the deep love they have for their profession."
About KCCI 8 News:
Celebrating close to 60 years of broadcasting, KCCI 8 News has won numerous awards including two national Edward R. Murrow awards for "Overall Excellence," multiple regional Emmys and the National Press Photographers Association award for Station of the Year (Small Market.)

By Telegraph Reporters12:00PM GMT 17 Jan 2013
The hooded men, who call themselves Muslim Patrol, have been filmed loitering around English streets and intimidating people.
They have uploaded videos to their YouTube channel with the most recent three-minute clip causing a stir online.
"The Truth About Saturday Night", which was uploaded on Sunday, has already been viewed more than 42,000 times.
It was shot on a mobile phone at night in what is believed to be East London, with a number of men seen shouting 'this is a Muslim area' towards white Brits they've confronted.
The video description states: "From women walking the street dressed like complete naked animals with no self respect, to drunk people carrying alcohol, to drunks being killed in the middle of the road, we try our best to capture and forbid it all."
One scene shows the hooded yobs forcing a passing man to put a can of lager away, telling the stunned gentleman they are the Muslim Patrol and that alcohol is a "forbidden evil".
They then tell a group of women "they need to forbid themselves from dressing like this and exposing themselves outside the mosque".
On another occasion, a young lady takes offence to their requests and tells them they're in Great Britain at which point they respond by saying "they don't respect those who disobey God".
The group add: "We don't care if you are appalled at all", before calling themselves "vigilantes implementing Islam upon your own necks".
Mohammed Shafiq, the chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, a Muslim organisation which campaigns for a peaceful co-existence among communities, has condemned the group's behaviour.
He said: "We live in the UK and we are governed by UK law, there should be no mob rule. If people are involved in this behaviour then it is worrying but it is an isolated incident."
The vigilante video follows an earlier clip made by the group where they protested against adverts for push-up bras by High Street retailer H&M.
In the clip they say: "The Muslims have taken it upon themselves to command the good and forbid the evil and cover up these naked people."
They then show a number of adverts for the product which has been sprayed over and also film themselves pouring petrol over one advert and setting it on fire.
Three members of a self-styled "Muslim Patrol" vigilante group have been jailed for harassing, intimidating and assaulting people on the streets of east London while claiming they were enforcing sharia law. judge at the Old Bailey had heard that Jordan Horner, 19, Ricardo MacFarlane, 26, and a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons, had terrorised a couple for walking through Bethnal Green holding hands, told a woman in Stepney that she would be punished in "hellfire" because of the way she was dressed, and attacked a group of men who were drinking in Shoreditch.
Horner – who has previously said he wants to bring sharia law to Britain – was jailed for a total of 17 months after pleading guilty to two charges of assault and two charges of using threatening words and behaviour.
MacFarlane was sentenced to 12 months in prison after pleading guilty to affray, while the 23-year-old received a six-month sentence after pleading guilty to affray.
Passing sentence on Friday, Judge Rebecca Poulet QC told them that while Islam was a peaceful religion, their conduct was "unfortunately anything but".
"One of the many good things about living in Great Britain is the tolerance and respect members of the public generally show to one another's religious beliefs, his dress or his chosen way of life.
"When, on occasions, a person shows their intolerance of another individual, whether by aggression or violence and in such a way as to cause real fear to the individual, then the law can be invoked to protect that individual."
The judge said that her sentencing powers were restricted because the prosecution had chosen not to prefer religiously aggravated offences.
The court had been told that Horner and the 23-year-old man drove alongside Joshua Bilton and Anna Reddiford in Bethnal Green and yelled at them through a megaphone.
Horner shouted: "Let go of each other's hands. This is a Muslim area!"
The couple initially believed it was a joke but the group repeated the warning until they let go of each other's hands.
When they started holding hands again a few minutes later the car re-appeared and blocked their path until they let go.
Two weeks later, on 6 January this year, Horner and MacFarlane attacked a group of men drinking in the streets of Shoreditch.
They said that they were there to "enforce Sharia law" in "Allah's land", and shouted: "Kill the non-believers".
Horner then punched two of the group, hitting James Forward in the jaw and knocking out Patrick Kavanagh with a punch to the head.
A week later, Horner and the 23-year-old confronted another couple, Clare Coyle and Robert Gray, walking in the street in Stepney. The 23-year-old accused Coyle of dressing inappropriately in a Muslim area and that she would be punished in "hellfire".
Horner filmed the incident on his mobile phone and called Clare Coyle a "slag". She told him: "This is Great Britain. I can dress how I wish."
In the video, which was later uploaded to YouTube, the group can be heard shouting: "You need to control this area and forbid people from exposing themselves outside the mosque. Remove yourselves now. Muslim Patrol. Move away from the mosque. Don't come back. We don't respect those who disrespect God."
Horner, who changed his name to Jamal Uddin, was jailed for six weeks in July this year for assaulting a photographer and causing £3,000 of damage to a car in an attack in Walthamstow. He was also seen putting up posters across east London "banning" alcohol.

vPortfolios from nick.com?
My colleague, Jonathon Richter, has been talking about ePortfolios in virtual worlds. He shared a website with me that looks interesting. It doesn't look like an interactive portfolio (collection of artifacts) with authentic feedback, but it includes an opportunity to "record your accomplishments" (reflection on learning).

Vigil held for teen killed in Mandarin Road crash
Father of 14-year-old says crash was 'avoidable accident'
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If you drive down Mandarin Road, you'll see that sprinkled in among all the overhanging oaks are memorials to dead teenagers.
There are four in roughly a mile span near the 12800 block, the most recent at the base of an oak tree, where 14-year-old Garrett Schaub (pictured below) was killed early Sunday morning.
"It's been very, very devastating. It's just been devastating," said Larry Schaub, Garrett's father. "It was an avoidable accident and all we can do is take it day by day."
Schaub said his son apparently snuck out early Sunday morning and met up with friends.
Police said their car was heading north in the 12800 block of Mandarin Road at a high speed and failed to negotiate a right hand curve in the roadway. The car left the roadway and the front end struck a large oak tree.
Garrett was killed on the road that drew the family to Mandarin.
"We moved to this area of Mandarin because of the road," Schaub said. "And Mandarin Road is one of the roads I never thought I would ever get tired of driving down. I'm one of those drivers that takes it at 30 or 35 (mph) because it's beautiful. The way the sun takes it all in through the trees, it's a beautiful road, but I can't drive it now."
The memorial at the tree's base was flooded with well-wishers all day Monday.
"He was a really funny guy, very strong, made anyone smile, I guess," friend Sydney McDonald said.
"It's a huge tragedy," said Jessica Olson, who went to school with Garrett. "You think of it, look at it one way and you think, 'Wow, he's really gone.'"
The crash is the latest in countless accidents Don Chandler has seen over the years. His mailbox and a few others were taken out in the crash.
"There's two stretches on either side of the curve that are straightaways. That's what I assume it is," Chandler said. "We've had cars go off, upside down in ditches. And they put the blinking lights out there and that helps some."
As far as the three other teens in the car, one had minor injuries, one is in critical condition, and the driver, 17-year-old Brandon Ramdass, is in fair condition.
Police said speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.
Hundreds of people gathered Monday night to honor Garrett Schaub during a candlelight vigil. Three hundred candles were brought in to fill the entire parking lot of Mandarin High School, where Schaub would have started ninth grade this year.
Many people shed tears as the memorial for Schaub continued Monday night. People at the vigil told News4Jax that Schaub was a dependable, good friend who was loved by many. Schaub's father spoke about the dangers of drinking and driving.
"Kids need to be more responsible. Kids need to step up to the plate. If they see a friend that maybe is too impaired to drive, don't get in the car with them. Help them out. Bring them home. Let them crash at your place or something like that. It's not worth risking your life over it," said Garrett's father, Larry Schaub.
The Schaub family is planning a celebration of Garrett's life later this week.

Using words like 'perfect' may work for statistically-minded baseball fanatics, but surely something like live theatre should be more subjective – like poetry. Nevertheless, by listing each facet of the genre, and showing how SHERIDAN aced every one of these, methinks readers will agree that DAMN YANKEES epitomizes the parallel of baseball's 27-strikeout game!
Perfect no. 1; Direction. Ray Hogg wore two hats for this production. Supervising the course that this adaptation of the 1955 Adler/Ross Broadway musical version of Doug Wallop's "The Year the Yankees lost the pennant"; and as choreographer (see Perfect no. 4).
From the first pitch in which the entire Washington ball team warns the audience about cell-phones; photographs; candy wrappers etc. (which should be the new format announcement for all subsequent Sheridan presentations), to the bottom of the ninth; every detailed directive is minutely blocked and prescribed for the audience's enjoyment. His cast selection; focal objectives and the on-stage fluidity is only outdone by creative blocking…including interaction with the front-row spectators.
Perfect no. 2; Pace. The plot is a thinly disguised take on the Faust legend – selling one's soul for a short-term advantage. In this case, a devoté Washington Senators fan having the ability to help his heroes beat the hated Yankees for the division title. The enlistment by the devil; the transition, and the moving moment when said fan switches to the young athlete; then sings his goodbye to his absent wife; all flow seamlessly and evenly spaced. Even the balance between act I and the post '7th inning stretch before Act II is audience-friendly.
Perfect no. 3; Cast. Like almost every Sheridan production, the on-stage performers give full measure without any weak links. In this case, there are some standout performances that bode a surfeit of post-grad opportunities. The pivotal role of 'Shoeless Joe' is rendered by a dynamic Micah Richardson who displays all the charisma of a super-jock, but with an emotional range that also highlights his tender side. The voice carries authority and faultless tonality, especially in the 'A man doesn't know' & 'Two lost Souls' duets. A critical support role is 'Gloria', the inquisitive sports reporter. The portrayal by Catherine Wylee has her character being an annoying nuisance but without such a role rendering, the plot would stagnate. Lucifer's persona is Mr. Applegate and Greg Solomon brings such a twinkle to the role that one almost cheers for his accomplishing his nefarious intentions. His Jezebel assistant is Melanie Paiement as 'Lola' the vamp, and she not only distracts our hero, she steals the show. Sexily dancing up a storm or singing some of the most popular numbers in the show, she underscores the movements and lyrics with 1000-watt facial expressions.
Perfect no. 4; Choreography. Again kudos to Hogg. The dance numbers are amazingly challenging synchronization with some incredibly demanding solo gymnastics. The 'Two Lost Souls' chorus number, performed to just percussion background means no one should dare leave before the top of the ninth inning. This is a memorable highlight, even for Sheridan.
Perfect no. 5; Creation. The clever lyrics and message therein make the songs memorable even out of context. 'Gotta have Heart'; "Whatever Lola Wants"; 'Who's Got the Pain'; the hilarious "Good Old Days" and the emotional 'Man doesn't know' all have become standards.
Perfect no. 6; Set and props. The newly refurbished theatre lends itself to the sterility of a stadium, yet the carpet; moveable 50's advertising; and the visible orchestra under Ryan deSousa add an intimacy as well as disguising the scene changes…very effective.
Perfect no. 7; Costumes. Lola's sexy outfits; the Senators' uniforms, and the groupies' getups all reflect the role interpretations. Joanna Yu does a bang-up job of creativity. Only suggestion; when Shoeless Joe reverts back to sedentary Joe Boyd, Joel Cumber's uniform should be way too large for his physique!
The original Broadway play had its pre-tryout run at Her Majesty's Theatre in Montreal. Serendipity enabled this writer to see it a couple of times as well as meeting Ray Walston; Jean Stapleton and Gwen Verdon. None were famous at the time and I never imagined seeing the latter starring in "How to Succeed" on our NYC honeymoon seven years later.
DAMN YANKEES will be at Sheridan until Feb. 28th. Opening pitch-7:30. Miss it and you'll have missed a definite sure-fire O.A.R. TOP TEN-er
