This programme gives you the ability to critically evaluate key contemporary debates in the field of international relations.
Mastering key skills in political science will allow you to explore the links between local, national and international structures, particularly in relation to the nature of the international system and processes of global governance.
The programme is composed of three pathways. The International Relations pathway provides a deep understanding of key issues in the contemporary international system. The second pathway, Terrorism and Security, focuses on the key domestic and international security threats facing states in the 21st century. Finally, the innovative International Intervention pathway enables you to understand and evaluate contemporary debates in the study of international intervention. This pathway also includes a placement option, allowing you to spend three months working in the field of international politics.
All students take a common set of compulsory modules (including modules on research methods and Theories of International Relations). Two further compulsory modules are taken for each pathway, allowing you to select three optional modules from a range of European and/or international politics topics.
The programme provides you with the skills necessary to design and complete a dissertation or placement project on a specialist topic, including formulating research questions, conducting a literature review, selecting appropriate methods of data collection, engaging with data analysis to provide answers to the research questions, and presenting research according to scholarly conventions.
This module provides an introduction to the design and conduct of social science research. Throughout, examples are drawn from recent research in the areas of politics and policy. However, emphasis is also placed on the applicability of these methods to other subject areas across the social sciences. This module develops students' understanding of the ways in which social research is designed and conducted. It provides a broad overview of both qualitative and quantitative approaches to research in the social sciences. In addition, it develops students' capacities to design research questions and select appropriate methods of data collection and analysis to enable them to answer their research questions.
The module has a strong practical focus and students gain experience of using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and apply their knowledge on a research area of their choice. Students also gain experience in using SPSS for statistical analysis. As part of the course, students conduct an individual research project, explore the methodological issues which emerge through their work, and engage in group-work to discuss the similarities and differences in their individual approaches and choices.
The module explores a range of theoretical approaches to study of International Relations thus introducing students to different ways current trends in the international system. The module follows a historiographical approach thus starting with the "classical debates in IR theories, then moving on to mainstream debates and concluding with critical approaches. The module allows students to evaluate continuities and change in contemporary theoretical discourses. Introduce students to the post-structuralist challenge in International Relations. Evaluate the contributions of each theoretical approach to our understanding of contemporary trends in Internal Relations.
This module provides a general introduction to the contemporary system of global governance. It seeks to provide students with a general overview of key concepts, structures and theoretical debates in this field. It looks at the links between national and international politics and encourages students to think critically about social, political and economic trends.
The module examines, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective, the different kinds of international intervention in response to poverty, humanitarian crisis, abuses of human rights, state failure, and armed conflict. Following a general introduction to the topic students conduct research and present a number of case studies from the post-colonial and post-Cold War periods and the group examines strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. The different forms of intervention studied include development and humanitarian assistance; peace-making, peace-keeping, and peace-building; use of international legal institutions and processes; and coercive military intervention to secure regime change.
This module builds on Politics of International Intervention 1 by requiring students to deliver a critical analysis of the failures and successes of intervention in two respects: first, to critique the theoretical literature on intervention in respect of its explanatory power – students are thus required to explore the relative utility of varying analytical frameworks against the background of that which they seek to explain; second, to critique the practice of intervention– students develop the skills to compare and contrast intervention in different crises. They also learn to evaluate the relative successes and account for them.
This module enables students to examine different types of state, non-state and international, regional and sub-regional security and defence providers in the context of new security threats, including the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, failed states and the new interventionism. Actors include the UN, the EU, NATO, ECOWAS, the US, France, Germany, the UK, Poland, NGOs and private military companies. Students engage with a variety of relevant theoretical approaches which in turn provide them with the tools to analyse how these different security actors have evolved, how they cooperate or conflict with each other and the role each plays in the new international security environment.
This module offers an introduction to the major theoretical and empirical debates that structure two sub-disciplines: Critical Security Studies and Critical Terrorism Studies. In the first half, the module is organised around core questions in Critical Security Studies, such as: what is security; security for whom of for what; security from whom or from what; how should security be achieved; and is security possible? In the second half, the module is organised around similar core questions in Critical Terrorism Studies, including: what is terrorism; how can we understand counter-terrorism; and what is the relationship between terrorism and counter-terrorism? The module encourages students to compare the sub-disciplines through their key complementary themes, such as a focus on definitions, people, language, culture and identity.
This module provides an opportunity for students to investigate and discuss contemporary developments in international politics. The specific content varies to meet contemporary issues. Typically, the module covers a range of issues, at regional and international levels, such as the environment, globalisation, nationalism, international conflicts and economic developments.
This module provides an opportunity for students to apply their understanding of key theories and debates in international political economy (IPE) to current developments and case studies. Students will be able to discuss and debate the role of the main IPE institutions with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Current and future challenges to the status quo of IPE are also discussed.
The first half of this module introduces students to the different schools of thought on American foreign policy. This provides students with the vocabulary to then interpret and assess US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. The second half of the module introduces students to key contemporary issues in American foreign policy.
This module considers the EU's perception of threats and opportunities and the methods it employs in order to reduce threat and maximise potential. Identity is a particular focus: what it means to be European and how much of that identity is shaped by the EU versus other actors. Specific policy areas are examined, including the European Neighbourhood Policy, Eastern Partnership, Union for the Mediterranean and Black Sea Synergy. Russia is treated as a particular case that reveals the successes of the EU's multilateral activities and the complexities engendered by its member states' bilateral relationships.
For each pathway, there is a similar pattern of teaching and assessment. In each semester students take four modules. For each of these, there is a weekly two-hour block, which combines lectures and student discussion. Parallel to the taught part of the programme, in semester one students start work on their dissertation, and continue in semester two and over the summer. Students that opt for the three-month placement, start work on their placement project once the taught component of the programme is finished, and throughout the summer, supported by regular supervision from the School.
Full-time students typically have eight contact hours of teaching per week and are expected to spend approximately 30 additional hours on independent study.
The School of Politics was created in 2004, bringing together and reinforcing the various elements of politics teaching and research which have existed at Surrey since the 1970s. Our academics are all research-active, and the teaching that our MSc students receive reflects those interests. This makes our students strongly engaged with cutting edge issues and academic debates. The School has a very active student body which organises many academic and social events outside the formal programme. With students coming from all over the world, this is an excellent opportunity to meet and challenge each other's ideas and perceptions.
Our MSc programme in International Relations is a great stepping stone in your career development, whatever your plans. Through its assessed, three-month placement, the International Intervention pathway offers an excellent opportunity to enhance a wide range of transferable skills and build personal networks which will significantly enhance your employment opportunities upon graduation.
Students from the School have gone on to a wide range of employment choices. These include working for international organisations, national and local government, lobby groups and non-governmental organisations, as well as private businesses and media organisations. We also offer doctoral supervision in a wide range of political subjects for talented students who wish to continue their studies.

Donovan Goal In 91st Sends U.S. To 2nd Round
Landon Donovan scored in the first minute of stoppage time off a rebound, advancing the United States to the second round at the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Algeria. With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination, Jozy Altidore was stopped on a breakaway by goalkeeper Rais Bolihi. Donovan hustled in and kicked in the rebound to win Group C Wednesday.

Marlins Make A Change At The Top
The Florida Marlins have fired manager Fredi Gonzalez and named Edwin Rodriguez to replace him on an interim basis. The team said in a statement that it also dismissed bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley. The 4th place Marlins moved to 34-36 following Tuesday night's win over the Orioles. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria says he's making the change because he believes the team can "do better and be better."

More Guns N' Roses Lineup Details Apparently Revealed Via Social Media
Though not official, social media postings suggest that Dizzy Reed, Frank Ferrer, Chris Pitman and Richard Fortus will join Guns N' Roses for Coachella.
Though not official, social media postings suggest that Dizzy Reed, Frank Ferrer, Chris Pitman and Richard Fortus will join Guns N' Roses for Coachella.
The Coachella 2016 lineup has been revealed and Guns N' Roses will headline both Saturdays.
The newest piece of reunion news reports that Axl Rose will appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' next week to talk about GN'R getting back together.
When Slash and Duff McKagan walked offstage, they had no idea it would be their last gig with the classic-era lineup of the band.
According to Billboard, Guns N' Roses, with Axl Rose + Slash on board, will headline the 2016 Coachella Festival and is in the process of booking other dates.
Guns N' Roses' official website has undergone a potentially prophetic – or possibly meaningless – update.
The latest in the recent round of Guns N' Roses classic lineup reunion rumors suggests the band will be on hand as headliners at next year's Reading Festival.
Guns N' Roses' website is selling new holiday gifts that feature their original-lineup logo.
Did Susan Holmes-McKagan's longtime friend just spill the beans on a Guns N' Roses reunion?
Jesse Hughes doesn't hold a grudge against Axl Rose, but he had some words for the frontman when reflecting on the current state of Guns N' Roses.
Steven Adler says he's heard no talk of a comeback from any classic members, adding that Duff McKagan and Slash are probably not interested in working with him.
Bruce Dickinson didn't take kindly to Axl's apparent disrespect to Maiden's audience, tempting the Maiden legend to give Axl a clobbering.

Abstract:Acclimation of biofilm cultures treating groundwater in Kumamoto, Japan, capable of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) has been ongoing in our laboratories. Biofilms have exhibited a distinctly red color and simultaneous ammonium and nitrite removals under autotrophic, anoxic conditions, which are characteristics of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing cultures. In this research, a maximum ammonium removal rate of 27 mg N/L/h was achieved, corresponding to a specific removal rate of 0.019 mg N/mg/h. Total-nitrogen removals were a factor of 1.9 over that of only ammonium, which is sufficiently high for industrial applications. For characterization of the bacterial composition of the biofilm, partial 16S rDNA sequences were amplified by PCR. Two of the phylotypes (consisting of 9 of 14 clones) were affiliated with Zoogloea and Aquaspirillum although their functions in the biofilm were not determined. Another sequence (5 of the 14 clones) had a close match to a planctomycete reported to have Anammox capability. These results demonstrate that an attached growth process can be effectively used to develop a continuous flow Anammox treatment process.

An examination of stable hydrogen isotope (δD) variation in adult and juvenile feathers from a migratory songbird
Abstract:Stable hydrogen isotopes (δD) can help predict geographic origin of tissue growth but within-site variation of feather δD (δDf) exists. Multiple hypotheses explain δDf variation: moult timing, physiology, and spatio-temporal differences in source deuterium, but there have been few direct tests of these factors. We assessed δDf variation within a breeding population of Wood Thrush (

BREAKING NEWS: Mark "Friedo" Friedman Leaves The Ticket
Long-time Norm Hitzges sidekick and 1310 AM The Ticket assistant program director Mark Friedman confirms this afternoon that he has left the station to take a similar role with rival sports-talk station 103.3 FM ESPN Radio. Friedman will next week begin his new role as ESPN's APD and producer for The Michael Irvin Show.
While Friedo's talent and experience are a major coup for ESPN, the transaction also dumps more fuel on The-Ticket-Has-Seen-Better-Days fire that was already starting to spread at an alarming rate. Friedo may be the next name to leave The Ticket, but something tells me he won't be the last.
Friedman, who got his start in local radio at 570 AM KLIF producing a 1994 Sunday afternoon Fantasy Football Show with Gil Brandt, has been Hitzges' on-air sidekick and off-air right-hand man since '99. It's hard to imagine Norm getting through a two-hour show with barking "Friedo!" isn't it? For that matter, hard to imagine Norm turning on a computer or answering a cell phone without Friedo by his side to, well, turn on the computer or answer the cell phone.

If you know Friedo, you know how tough a move this is. Not that ESPN isn't presenting him a great (re: lucrative) opportunity, but the fact that he was one of The Ticket's most loyal and fervent employees - the station became part of his DNA - further exhibits the depth of unrest behind the scenes at Cumulus' Dallas outpost.

Two Of The Five Chronicle Award Winners From The Weekend No Longer There
In the category of good news/bad news, we have a journalism item for you. Five employees of The Houston Chronicle won first place recognition over the weekend in the annual Texas Associated Press Managing Editors journalism competition, the most ballyhooed in-state contest in the insular, self-congratulatory world of newspapering.
Unfortunately, two of the five Chron winners were among those laid off a month ago.
We're speaking of Claudia Kolker, who won a first place prize for editorial writing, and Jorge Luis Sierra, who won a first place news award for La Voz, the Spanish language newspaper owned by the Chronicle.
We have no idea if the Chronicle might have spared the two journalists had it known of their statewide recognition, but you can't help but wonder if it would have helped when the job cuts came down. It certainly wouldn't have hurt.

Still, to be fair to the Chronicle, three of their first-place winners remain on the payroll: Dwight Silverman, who was named best blogger; Dan Pritchett, who took a first in headline writing, and Alberto Cuadra, who won a first place for infographics.
Congrats to all, but especially to Kolker and Sierra, who we hope get some solace from what amounts to posthumous medal of honor following their unfortunate dismissals.

Ugg & Jimmy Choo
Ugg & Jimmy Choo collaborate with a limited edition capsule collection.
Every once in a Tiffany-blue moon, the fashion gods answer my prayers and deliver exciting fashion collaborations.
Think Murakami and Louis Vuitton (genius!). Madonna and H&M (sold out in seconds!). Stella McCartney and Adidas (adorbs!). Kate Moss and Top Shop (fab!). Rachel Zoe and Judith Lieber (I die!). Alexa Chung and Madewell... the list goes on and on.
Last week they really outdid themselves in the form of the Ugg Australia & Jimmy Choo capsule collection. Avaialble at your Jimmy Choo boutique or online, the limited-edition line fuses the iconic Ugg sheepskin boot with the creativity of Tamara Mellon's Jimmy Choo.
Starting at $595, Chuggs don't come cheap, but if you follow the cost-per-wear ratio (total cost of the item divided by estimated number of days you'll wear it equals the cost per wear) they're well worth the splurge.
And here's a celeb tidbit: Nicki Hilton scored the Starlit style (pictured).
Leopard print, brass stars, nickel studs, fringe details and more make these boots walking works of art.

This was very good. I like the fruit in it, but wonder if I might like it better strained (the pureed part did make it a bit chunky). I cut the sugar about 25% for our tastes. ETA: I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. The first day we drank this after about 7 hours. We had what was left 24 hours later, and it really improved, enough to increase the rating by one star. I also think if you had a super blender the chunks of fruit might not be an issue.
I totally agree that this is the best sangria ever! I was looking for the olive garden berry sangria recipe and I came across this one. I doubled the recipe because I was having a party and I used a bottle of the cheapest merlot I could find and it still came out fantastic!!! This is my new signature drink!

SEATTLE — If you go to the Vancouver Whitecaps' website and click the box to watch highlights of Tuesday's Champions League win in Kansas City, a promotional ad for season tickets appears that features 15-year-old sensation Alphonso Davies.
He is the hope the Major League Soccer team is marketing for next season.
Makes sense. Davies is a wonderfully gifted, attacking player still two months shy of his 16th birthday. And he's Canadian. People want to see him.
But since he is that good and that marketable, why have we seen Davies only five times in MLS this season, for a total of just 100 minutes?
Because the Whitecaps and their coach, Carl Robinson, stuck with players who pushed the franchise to a second-place finish in the Western Conference last season and, the theory went, would carry the team at least as high again this year.
Instead, the 9-13-7 Whitecaps play their biggest rivals, the Seattle Sounders, here this afternoon trailing a playoff spot by four points with five games remaining and with only one win in their last nine regular-season contests. The good news is that victory was last weekend, 3-1 in Columbus, and the Whitecaps carry at least a little confidence and momentum after adding a 2-1 win by their reserves, including Davies, in KC.
When the season began, this game on a Whitecaps' schedule looked like it might be coronation day. Instead, it could be the Whitecaps' last gasp.
But win or lose today and in the final month of the regular season, significant changes are coming.
There will be more Alphonso Davies, probably less Pedro Morales, for instance. There will be more bite and defensive backbone. There will be, in Robinson's words, more "hunger," which means less complacency. But there will not be a new coach.
Before the Whitecaps practised Friday at CenturyLink Field, president Bob Lenarduzzi told The Vancouver Sun "unequivocally" that Robinson will return to guide the team through its seventh season in MLS. And Robinson may finally have the money to buy that star striker or playmaker the Whitecaps have lacked for much of the first six.
"Big players win games," Robinson said Friday. "Look at Toronto, (Sebastien) Giovinco has assisted or scored in so many games. And rightly so because he's paid a lot of money.
"We don't rely on one player; we rely on the team. And I think it's fair to say the majority of players haven't played to their maximum levels a lot of the season. But we're all to blame. Will I name one player? No, because you could go from the goalkeeper all the way to the (centre forward).
"There will be more hunger inserted into the team. I can accept not having the quality in the final thirds based on the players we have. But I won't accept mediocre performances. The last six weeks have shown me that, with their future on the line, the majority of (players) want to be here. But it took me to challenge them. There will be changes at the end of the season. We need to be better."
The Italian Giovinco, who has scored or set up 25 goals in 26 games for Toronto FC and is probably the best player in MLS, will cost more this season ($7.1 million) than the entire Whitecap roster ($6.5 million).
But Vancouver is not a small-market team. In terms of support, the Whitecaps are a flagship franchise. They can afford to pay more than the $1.25-million Morales is making as the team's highest-paid player. That figure, or something approaching it, seems to have been the Whitecaps' unofficial internal salary cap since joining MLS.
And with that limit, their succession of designated players — the supposed difference-makers who earn premium salaries in MLS — has been Eric Hassli, Mustapha Jarju, Barry Robson, Kenny Miller, Matias Laba, Octavio Rivero and Morales.
Morales and Laba, his current teammate, are the best of these players but haven't been consistent difference-makers.
To be fair, other high-priced Whitecaps such as goalie David Ousted, defender Kendall Waston and winger Cristian Techera also struggled badly for periods this season.
"The last two years, we have evolved," Lenarduzzi said. "And this year we've regressed. When you look at our roster and our depth, we've got the guys who can grind it out and give you a chance to have success. What we're lacking is that handful of players that provide leadership and are difference-makers. That is something that will be big for us when we go into the off-season."
Asked if he will authorize Robinson to spend more of majority owner Greg Kerfoot's money to get an elite scorer or playmaker, Lenarduzzi said: "The (salary) category you're referring to, we haven't gone there, yet. But I don't think we've ever said we wouldn't go there."
Lenarduzzi said the Whitecaps' plan since their MLS inception was to develop players so they didn't need to sign expensive stars from elsewhere. But after a decade and many millions invested, the development program has produced as a Whitecap regular only Russell Teibert, and he has appeared in just 11 games this season, his fewest since he was a 19-year-old rookie in 2011.
Lenarduzzi defends the development program by noting it was "unique" in MLS when the Whitecaps started it, so the franchise had no template to work from and is learning as it goes.
We're not sure what will work, but we know what hasn't.
Starting with today's survival game, the Whitecaps may need to win out. Three of their final four games are at home, three against teams they're battling for a playoff spot.
They were in a similar situation two years ago when a 1-0 win in Seattle was part of a 4-0-1 finishing kick that allowed the Whitecaps to make the playoffs by a point.
"We're going to probably need a run of something like that to even get close," Robinson said. "If we don't get something close to that run, we're not going to get into the playoffs and we won't deserve to be in the playoffs.
"On the one hand, you can say we're still close — four points from a playoff spot. On the other hand, you can say we've thrown away so many stupid points."
Vancouver Whitecaps at Seattle Sounders
1 p.m., CenturyLink Field
Three things to watch
Waston back to beast mode?
Kendall Waston, like many Whitecaps, hasn't had his best season. But in recent weeks the likable, hulking centre-back has been more like the guy who was runner-up for MLS defender of the year in 2015. David Edgar, the Canadian international, has rounded into form, too, and that at least suggests the Caps will be harder to break down in these final five games.
Hurtado on a roll
Erik Hurtado has three goals in his last five games, including two in Champions League. He missed a sitter in Los Angeles and missed the net seven times against New York, so you could say he should have five goals in his last five games. The positive is he's looking confident, getting chances, and finishing some. Will Carl Robinson like Hurtado's pace and power for this matchup? Lately, the Caps have set up to counter-attack.
Morales in or out?
We talk about Pedro Morales every week, it seems. But it's a legitimate question: Do they have a better chance of winning this game with him starting or sitting? Morales struck both PKs for the Caps in their 2-1 win at CenturyLink Field in March but that feels like ages ago. Andrew Jacobson, Nicolas Mezquida and even Cristian Techera, who has had a poor season, all offer more right now.

Excellent 4.1 /5 from 323 reviews
Hotel was very dated and needs modernization.
Free breakfast was great - a lot more than we expected. The staff was very friendly - we would stay there again.
Very comfortable and very professional staff
I have stayed at this hotel many times and love the indoor pool--it's the best in that area--but it was out of order my entire stay! Hotel staff very nicely called several nearby properties and I was able to swim in those pools. I hope next time I visit that the pool will be in working order--I stayed in Hagerstown rather than Chambersburg just to stay at the Ramada Plaza.
Overall our stay was a positive one. We were primarily stooping off for a night's rest before continuing travel on I 81. The staff got us checked in well, replaced our access cards when we had difficulty with them, and checked us out smoothly. Pool towels were in short supply and not replaced quickly while we were there. The room was comfortable. The carpet seemed a little old, but clean. Bathroom was nice. Breakfast was good, as well with many options available.

This invention relates in general to antennas, and more particularly to antennas used in conjunction with location tracking technology.
A variety of antenna form factors are used in communication devices. A popular form factor used in today's two-way radios is the omni-directional antenna.
In today's public safety environments, there is a desire to track public safety personnel and their activities with respect to each other with as little user intervention as possible. An individual involved in a public emergency scene may not have the time, ability, or knowledge to relay location information to others. While location tracking technology can be implemented within the two-way radio environment, the overall performance issues associated with the omni-directional antenna are still present. If a radio is being held within a holster strapped to the user's side, then the omni-directional antenna will not provide its maximum coverage capability, making the tracking of an individual more difficult.
Accordingly, there is a need for an antenna that provides improved performance over the omni-directional antenna in order to facilitate the ability to track individuals.
The features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like reference numerals identify like elements, and in which:
While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided herein an antenna system that forms a substantially circumferential radius to provide 360 degrees of radiation coverage about a user. To provide 360 degrees (�) of coverage, the antenna system of the present invention incorporates a plurality of antennas (N) evenly spaced around a user with each antenna preferably operating within a mutually exclusive bandwidth. In accordance with the present invention, the plurality of patch antennas are coupled to or integrated within a garment to be worn by a user. The garment can take on a variety of form factors such as a belt, coat, jacket, vest, harness, hat, or other user worn apparatus.
Referring now to
In accordance with the second embodiment, the user worn apparatus 500 further includes an electronic compass 508 shown here integrated within the antenna system 502 to facilitate location tracking of the individual wearing the coat. The compass 508 becomes referenced perpendicular to a user's abdomen when the coat is worn. The compass 508 provides a bearing for the user, the bearing being used to select an antenna within the antenna system 502. In accordance with the second embodiment of the invention, a particular antenna is selected from the plurality of antennas as the result of an operator's relative compass heading to another. Also included within the user worn apparatus 500 are an altimeter 510 and a pedometer 512, shown here as integrated within the antenna system 502. The altimeter and pedometer 510, 512 are used in conjunction with the bearing information to provide a user's coordinates so that the user can be tracked in both open and closed environments.
The following Spherical Triangle Equations (see
X=Bearing from A to B(�)
Y=Bearing from B to A(�)
D=Great Circle Distance from A to B(�)
Point A: Latitude=LatA, longitude=LonA
Point B: Latitude=LatB, Longitude=LonB
Conditions: LatB>LatA, and LonA<LonB
1 step on pedometer=1 meter (m)
Re=Radius of the earth 6378.14 km
Arc length=(D)(π)(Re)/180
Y=180+X(� from North)
Dm=60(nmi/�)*1852(m/nmi)*D(�); (m)
In the communication system 700, the bearing is calculated based on a user and partner's coordinates. These coordinates are communicated to the system and are used to determine how many degrees from North where the partner 704 is located. Since each antenna 202, 204, 206, 208 has a mutually exclusive bandwidth in which it is used, the compass heading and the bearing to the partner 704 are compared, and the antenna with coverage in the area of the bearing is selected. The communication system 700 incorporates two different subsystems that allow a user to maintain coverage in both open (outside) and closed (urban building) environments. For open environments both the user 702 and his partner 705 transmit their GPS coordinates at pre-determined intervals, for example as data packets.
For closed environments, in which the GPS coverage is unavailable, the radio 504 records data from the pedometer 510, altimeter 512, and compass 508 to form an array of coordinates that are added back to the last user GPS location before the signal was lost to create a new set of coordinates. The system then performs the calculation to obtain a bearing to the partner 704 and selects an antenna with a bandwidth that coincides with the determined bearing. Since GPS coordinates are used in the calculation of bearing, there are no restrictions on the movements of the radio operators. Also, the partner 704 can utilize GPS coordinates for the user, and employ other methods to increase the likelihood of a good communications path by performing the same calculation as the user to find an opposite bearing. For example, the partner can utilize a directional Yagi type antenna to constantly track the operator.
The usefulness of the communication system of the present invention can be demonstrated within a variety of changing environments—open, closed, and changing therebetween. For example, the system can track a user moving about in an open environment using GPS technology to determine coordinates. The user can also be tracked as he moves from an open to a closed environment through the use dead reckoning to create a new set of coordinates. The system also provides tracking capability as one individual changes location while another individual remains in a closed environment.
Referring again to
The bearing from point 2 to 1 is 20.94�. The user 702 is facing 222� or SW so the antenna that has bandwidth coincident with that bearing is antenna 206 of FIG. 4. The partner 704 has a bearing to the user of 200.94� and the distance between them is 267.13 m.
Bearings: User(X)=20.94�, Partner(Y)=200.94�, Dm=267.12 m
User at point 2, facing 222�
Antenna 202 @ 222.0�, bandwidth 177.0� to 267.0�
Antenna 204 @ 312.0�, bandwidth 267.0� to 357.0�
Antenna 206 @ 42.0�, bandwidth 357.0� to 87.0�
Antenna 208 @ 312.0�, bandwidth 87.0� to 177.0�
Thus, Antenna choice # 206, 357.0�<20.94�<87.0�
The user 702 then moves inside a building 708 following the dashed line 710 and looses GPS coverage. The system then reverts to dead reckoning utilizing the compass 508 and pedometer 510. As the user 702 moves through the building 710 each step is recorded by the pedometer 510 along with the compass heading and his altitude. Referring to the map 700, the user has traveled 128 steps, W; 83 steps, N; 44 steps, W; 74 steps, N; and 37 steps, E. The Table below shows an example of the array of data captured using dead reckoning.
Dead Reckoning
Each of the data points is combined into vectors North and West, converted into degrees, and added back to the last GPS coordinate.
Total distance West=128 m+44 m−37 m=135 m
Total distance North=83 m+74 m=157 m
Distance West in degrees=0.135 km*180�/(6378.14 km*π)=0.001213� W
Distance North in degrees=0.157 km*180�/(6378.14 km*π)=0.001410� N
New coordinate point 3 latitude=Lat2+ΔLat=26.144841�+0.001410�=26.146251� N
New coordinate point 3 longitude=Lon2+ΔLon=80.253493�+0.0012130=0.254706� N
These dead reckoning calculations thus show a total of 135 m West (0.001213� W) and 157 m North (0.001410� N). Adding this dead reckoning data to point 2's GPS coordinates results in the determination of the location of point 3. For this communication the partner 704 is still located at point 1, with the user now at point 3 facing 118�. The bearing calculated from point 3 to point 1 is 66.79�. Since, the user is facing 118� or SE, the antenna that has bandwidth coincident with that bearing is number 208. The partner has a bearing to the user of 246.79� and the distance between them is 235.51 m.
Bearings: User(X)=66.79�, Partner(Y)=246.79�, Dm=235.51 m
Antenna 202 @ 118.0�, bandwidth 73.0� to 163.0�
Antenna 204 @ 208.0�, bandwidth 163.0� to 253.0�
Antenna 206 @ 298.0�, bandwidth 253.0� to 343.0�
Antenna 208 @ 28.0�, bandwidth 343.0� to 73.0�
Thus, Antenna choice # 208, 343.0�<66.79�<73.0�
Finally, the user 702 maintains his location and heading at point 3, but the partner 704 moves to the SW of the building to point 4. The bearing calculated from point 3 to 4 is 199.75�. The partner 704 has a bearing to the user of 19.75� and the distance between them is 385.49 m. The user 702 is still facing 118� or SE and thus the antenna that has bandwidth coincident with that bearing is antenna 204.
Bearings: Partner(X)=19.75�, User(Y)=199.75�, Dm=385.49 m
User at point 3, facing 118�
Antenna 202 @ 118.0�, bandwidth 73.0� to 163.0�
Antenna 204 @ 208.0�, bandwidth 163.0� to 253.0�
Antenna 206 @ 298.0�, bandwidth 253.0� to 343.0�
Antenna 208 @ 28.0�, bandwidth 343.0� to 73.0�
Thus, Antenna choice # 204, 163.0�<199.75�<253.0�
The communication system 700 of the present invention is not limited to a pair of users, but extends to unlimited users transmitting back to a repeater in which each person employs location tracking. The use of a location tracking technology, such as described by the present invention, to determine which antenna within the array to select during transmit eliminates the need for certain setup requirements, such as triangulation techniques with fixed antennas.
Accordingly, there has been provided an antenna system comprising a garment containing N patch antennas spaced 360�/N apart around its circumference. The user-worn garment can take on a variety of form factors. As mentioned previously, the antenna system of the present invention forms an antenna array when worn about a user's body. The user can be a human being, an animal, or a device. So, for example, the antenna system can be mounted to a dog or robot type device as well as to a person.
When used within a communication system having location tracking technology, automatic selection of an antenna within the antenna array is achieved as a result of the location tracking technology. The communication system can be configured as described above to provide coverage in open, or both open and closed environments through the use of various location tracking devices. Public safety personnel, such a police, fire, and rescue personnel can all benefit from the improved coverage and accurate location determination provided by the antenna system of the present invention. In addition to determining the bearing for the transmit path, the user and his colleague(s) can now know exactly where the other is located. In situations such as a smoke filled building this can be especially useful.
Accordingly, there has been provided an antenna system that overcomes the disadvantages associated with prior art body worn omni-directional antennas. The antenna system of the present invention provides greater gain than the body worn omni-directional antenna shown in FIG. 1 and thus an improvement in power output is achieved.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

A female juvenile was arrested Wednesday in connection with alleged threats to Cumberland Gap High School.
Investigators and officers with the Claiborne County Sheriff's Office were at both Cumberland Gap High School and HY Livesay Middle School In Harrogate as daylight broke Wednesday morning to secure the premises after some online threats were made, said Sheriff David Ray.
Both schools were carefully searched inside and outside the perimeters and officers were present as the students arrived for school on the buses and as the parents dropped the children off, according to a news release from the CCSO.
Tuesday evening, Claiborne County Director of Schools Connie Holdway notified Ray of the threats made on the social media network from Facebook to cell phone messages among students from Cumberland Gap High School and to some parents, states the release. The threats were advising the students "not to come to school tomorrow, clowns are coming to your school, just giving you a heads up we are shooting it up."
Ray said, "We take all threats seriously and will not permit students or anyone else to interrupt the education of our children; we will find them and prosecute them."
According to Ray, he and officers worked on the alleged threats that had been reported through the night and made sure the premises were secure before students arrived at the schools Wednesday morning.
The attendance at HY Livesay was not hindered by the threats, said Ray; however, attendance at Cumberland Gap High School was poor. Many students did not arrive at school on Wednesday morning and several left after hearing about the media rumors.
In addition to the threats to "shoot up the school" there were also rumored sightings of clowns in several places around the area, including clowns with baseball bats at Tuttle's store on Hwy. 63.
People dressed as clowns have been spotted in different areas throughout the region in different states, with some reportedly trying to lure children into wooded or otherwise dangerous areas. The reported sightings have caused several copycats.
Early Wednesday morning, investigators found through social media that the source of the threats came through a student within the Claiborne County school system who allegedly created a fictitious account via Facebook in attempt to create a lockdown at the Cumberland Gap High School, the release states. Investigators seized electronic devices that led to the swift arrest of a juvenile female.
Ray confirmed that a person of interest had been taken into custody Wednesday morning and was transported to the Claiborne County Justice Center.
She was later charged with disruption of a meeting or procession and a trial date is set for Sept. 28 in the Juvenile Court of Claiborne County.
"The threats were taken seriously and we had a team of officers at Cumberland Gap High School and Livesay to secure the premises," Ray said. "Nothing was found."
The student charged is prohibited from returning to the school property with limited internet access and cannot attend any social school events, states the release.

In this exercise we are going to go ahead and add a minute hand to this developing clock face composition. I am working inside the cardinaletondo.psd image that's found inside the 16WarpLiquify folder. Now bear in mind that I have made some changes to this composition over the previous couple of exercises. If you are working along with me I would like you to click on the frame layer at the top of the Layers palette. The reason being this will allow us to drag and drop the various clock hands on top of the frame layer so they don't get mired inside of this face clipping mask right here.
So just a precautionary measure and now I am going to press Shift+F to restore the standard window view and I am going to switch back over to the clockparts.tif image from Nicholas Belton. Now I want to select this hand right here. This I judge to be the minute hand, this center hand on the left hand side of the image. I could in order to select it I could reload the mask alpha channel as a selection outline that's one way to work or I just want to show you a different way to work here. I am going to bring up the History Palette and you can get to this palette by choosing the History command from the window menu if you prefer.
If you have been working along with me you should see a short sequence of operations basically you open the image then you loaded the selection outline that's when you loaded the mask alpha channel as a selection and there is this step rectangular marquee where you found the intersection by Shift+Alt+Dragging or Shift+Option+Dragging with the regular marquee tool to keep only the clock face selected. If you backup a single operation here you will restore the entire mask's selection outline so it's not necessarily an easier to way to work.
It's all that much easier that is to click on this option as opposed to Control or Command clicking on this channel down here but it helps demonstrate that the History Palette tracks operations for each and every open image. So just bear in mind that you have that option available to you alright I am going to go ahead and close the History Palette then using the rectangular marquee tool once again I am going to Shift+Alt+Drag or Shift+Option+Drag around the minute hand like so and I have now only the minute hand selected then I will press and hold the Control key here on the PC or the Command key on the Mac and I will drag and drop the minute hand into the cardinaletondo composition.
Now I am going to press the F key to switch back into the CS3 maximized view. And I am going to go ahead and Control+Drag or Command+Drag this hand into place so that the center of the clock hand is at the center of the clock. Now the clock hand is way too big as you can see it extends outside of the canvas so I want to scale it to a more reasonable size. I can repeat the last transformation that I assign that I apply to the clock face here. By going up to the Edit menu choosing the Transform command and choosing this guy right there again transform again where I compress Control+Shift+T and this is a very good keyboard shortcut to memorize that's Command+Shift+T on the Mac and that will repeat that previous transformation.
If you like it now it may not turn out to be all that great. There is two problems with it from my perspective one I would like the minute hand to be slightly bigger perhaps I am not sure actually maybe it's fine the way it is but I am a little worried about leaving that gap right there around the center dial of the minute hand and that allows some of the Michael Angelo Fresco to showing from the background. Of course they could end up hiding that gap using some of the other hands so it may not be that big of a problem. On the other hand maybe the hand is too big, maybe it's extending too far into the numbers and I definitely want to rotate the hand to some sort of minute on the clock face here so it looks a little more natural than just hanging down it exactly the 30 position so if you run into a situation like that where you want to follow up one transformation with another transformation then you probably want to handle everything in one clean transform operation.
You don't want to be keeping transformation on top of transformation on top of transformation because you end up destroying the original pixel information inside the layer. Now you can apply non-destructive transformations inside Photoshop using smart objects. We just haven't gotten the smart objects yet so right now we are not working with the smart objects we are just working with static layers so, I am going to undo that last modification actually I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Z a couple of times in a row that's Command+Option+Z on a Mac in order to back step so that we are seeing the original version of the hand.
Here is a trick that I want you to bear in mind. It's little weird but it's going to make a lot of sense once you start doing a lot of transforming inside of Photoshop. First press Control+T or Command+T on the Mac to enter the free transform mode then press Control+Shift+T or Command+Shift+T on the Mac to restore the last applied transformation and keep yourself inside of the free transform mode so that you can still apply some other transformations non destructively. Does that make sense? So I am still inside the free transform mode and yet I have lifted my last transformation values of 44.4% proportionally that's awesome.
By the way that is what I just gave you that little trick that was gold you are welcome. Alright I am going to move this central handle upward by the way. I should just near instead of being snide I should never write what I am doing I will go ahead and drag the minute hand down a little bit so that it's centered on a clock face and then I am moving this transformation origin. Notice that I can drag the transformation origin anywhere where I want it to be, so that little target I am dragging to the center of the pivot for the clock hand and now by moving my cursor outside the transformation boundary notice that it changes to a little rotate icon and I will now drag with this rotate cursor in order to rotate the clock hand around the face like so.
So I think this is a good time of day for this clock I would do want to not sort of cover up too much of the Raphael face in the background so maybe I should move the clock hand a little higher so that it's covering let's say this part of the nose right there. Some portion of this guy's faces got to be covered up. Let's leave you know elements like the eyes opened and maybe the base of the nose and the mouth and so on. And then finally I might go ahead and I am sort of still grappling with whether this clock hand ought to be bigger or smaller but let's say I decide it needs to be a little smaller.
I am going to go onto the W and H values up there which control the scaling of the hand and I am going to turn on that little link so that I maintain a consistent aspect ratio i.e. I go ahead and scale the width and the height of the image proportionally then I am going to click inside either the width or the height value it doesn't matter which one. And I am going to press the down arrow key in order to make this clock hand a little bit smaller maybe not quite that much smaller. Let's go ahead and go with let's say 41%. What the hack and then press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac in order to accept this value right here.
I haven't exited the free transform mode quite yet by the way because I do want to show you notice that the rotation of the clock hand is also being tracked using this little angle value right there. These suckers over there H & V that have little degrees next to them those are the skew values in case you decide to skew your clock hand at some in time. Alright now I am going to press the Enter key or the Return key once again in order to accept my transformation and depart from the free transform mode. So there you go I have a nicely scaled and rotated minute hand at the center of my high renaissance clock.

Traffic Control with tc
This weekend I had an interesting dilemma. I needed to transfer about 2GB worth of data to a remote machine. That's not really a lot to download, but it can be quite a pain on an asynchronous upload home Internet connection where your upload speed is pitiful! So, I began the transfer, and wouldn't you know that halfway through, my roommate returned from work. Now, since my roommate works at a startup called Blinkx in downtown San Francisco, he has work to do pretty much 24/7. I didn't want to disturb his work, but I also didn't want to cancel my transfer. What was a hacker to do :-(
After feeling defeated for about five minutes and having no idea how to shape the current traffic connection, I stumbled onto something. tc! Yes, tc can do everything you need to shape traffic. Amazing. A little man page reading later, and in ten minutes, I was now happily transferring data and not hogging all the upload bandwidth from my roommate. Here's how I was able to limit my upload to ~30KB/sec, from our cap of ~100KB/sec.
# tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: tbf rate 300kbit burst 300kbit latency 1
Now, this command is quite a hack. I didn't actually bother to find the best options for the job, but then again, I didn't have much time. The command above merely limits the connection of my wireless device to ~30KB/sec using the Token Bucket Filter mechanism.
I highly encourage the reader to find more advanced usage of tc and craft some beautiful shaping rules. If you don't want as much control, then you may consider other useful tools such as trickle/trickled (user-space) and wondershaper. Happy hacking :-)

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

If you do not trust somebody, how can you do business with them? Why are banks, the media, and our government finding it so difficult to get things done and grow their footprint and influence with American consumers? To an ever increasing extent, Americans do not trust our banks, our media, and our government. Why is that? Americans know and feel that these industries and bodies have violated their trust. Once, twice, multiple times burned, Americans are now not so quick to trust. Can you blame them? The 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer (slide presentation below) presents fascinating insights into the question of trust across industries and nations. I would discount some of the exceptionally high ratings from certain nations, specifically China. That said, take the 4-5 minutes to review this presentation. Focus on slide 14 specifically and look at the rankings for how little we trust banks in the United States. Slide 20 highlights the power of the internet as the primary means for people looking for information. Slide 24 displays The Transformation of Trust from the old business model to one that is defined by transparency, profit with purpose, and engagement (dare I say, truth, transparency, and integrity). Whether you are in business, a consumer, a student, or merely interested in the pulse of our nation, I strongly encourage you to review the 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer. (As a side note, in the presentation NGO stands for non-government organization). Accentuating trust is not only the best approach to business, but no doubt it is the best approach to life.

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The daily activities of a young girl propel the easy-flowing language full of ducky details. Perfectly placed additional facts in smaller and similar-in-tone text are included on each spread...While Davies' text gently informs, Rubbino's mixed-media illustrations, done in a subdued palette of watery greens, grays and browns, truly impress... An ideal introduction to this familiar waterfowl—readers will enjoy diving right in.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A charming and informative tribute to the ubiquitous duck... The mixed-media artwork adds a sweet, old-fashioned character to the story. Created in a palette of greens and browns, the illustrations reflect the peaceful setting of the natural habitat in which these birds live. Like Robert McCloskey's MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS (Viking, 1941), this gentle picture book celebrates the wonder and awe nature can inspire in everyday life.
—School Library Journal (starred review)
The easy-going, colloquial tone of the text makes the information surprisingly easy to absorb... Rubbino's watercolor paintings have a wonderful freshness and spontaneity about them, capturing the look and body language of ducks, while including details of physiology mentioned in the story. Beautiful, informative, and fine for reading aloud.
