COVID-19 update
Find out about how we'll be delivering our courses in 2020.
Full Time: 3 Years
Our BA Primary Education with Arts Specialism (QTS) course will develop your talents as an artist and teacher, and champion your passion for art within primary education.
This course will enable you to get a job as a primary school teacher following graduation. There is a high demand for specialist primary school teachers and many of our graduates go on to become subject leaders. Furthermore, we are ranked 7th in the UK for Education (The Guardian University Guide 2021). and have strong links with schools.
You will divide your time between studying modules on professional skills and curriculum subjects, and developing your artistic skills and knowledge. The former will introduce you to the core National Curriculum subjects, including Information and Communications Technology (ICT). You will develop skills essential to the role of a teacher, including leadership, classroom management, and evaluation and assessment. You can then put these skills into practice through professional placements, which take place throughout the course. Additionally you will study professional legal requirements, and investigate the role of the teacher and how children develop.
The Art Specialism will develop you as a skilled artist by exploring a range of different media, materials and techniques. During your three years on the specialism, you will have access to a range of excellent facilities including a large print room, ceramic and kiln space, a dark room and, importantly, your own studio bay where you can develop and research your own art-making.
At the end of your second and third year, you will produce an exhibition of your work, showcasing your developing skills and artist-identity. Tutors and technicians are skilled in all disciplines, with the additional teaching support of our artist-in-residency programme. You will also study art history, with a focus on twentieth and twenty-first century art practices. Additionally, a vital component within the Art Specialism is to develop key leadership skills in order for you to lead and inspire art in primary schools.
You will have the opportunity to carry out placements throughout this course. These will take place within local schools that the Institute of Education has active relationships with. Whilst there you will be mentored by a teacher and linked to a University tutor, who will provide you with additional support.
During your first year you will attend a weekly placement, which will familiarise you with the daily routine of the classroom and link in with your professional modules. For example, you may have to complete an observation for an assignment.
You will also complete a block placement during each year of the course. You will spend four weeks in a Key Stage 1 (KS1) setting during your first year, seven weeks in a KS2 setting in the second year, and an eight-week placement in a Key Stage of your choice during the final year.
For more information, please visit the Institute of Education website.

People can spend their whole lives wondering what their true 'purpose' is,and never find out. Why? Because they wait for it to come and knock on their door, but unfortunately, that rarely happens! Finding your purpose means exploring yourself and the world, and then making a decision based on what you've found.
This simple guide to finding your purpose in life should give you a few clues on how to proceed if you've spent the majority of your life trying to figure it out. Read on to learn more!
Explore Your Hobbies And Interests
Start by exploring your hobbies and interests on a deeper level. You can do this alongside your current job, so there's no pressure to leave and venture on a journey of self exploration just yet! If you've always wondered what it would be like to do something, sign up to a night course of a workshop. Read books and watch YouTube videos on the subject. Buy some materials and practice at home. Try lots of different things to get an idea of what you really like to do. If you figure out that you can lose track of time doing something for hours, it's a great sign!
Work Out What Matters To You
What really matters to you? What issues do you find yourself getting most passionate about in the world? Below are a few areas you may consider:
- Customer service
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Being happy
- Creating products that solve problems
- Sharing stories that inspire people
Assess your values and the things you feel really matter. What would you like your contribution to the world to be? What area do you think you could make a difference in?
Cultivate A Positive Mindset
A positive mindset is essential if you're ever going to get anywhere in life. You can't compare yourself to somebody else, as their life, mindset, and timeline is completely different to yours. Do not feel under pressure. You're not behind, you're simply working at your own pace. Change the negative stories that you tell yourself into positive ones and you'll go much further than you ever imagined.
Treat Everything As A Lesson
Make sure you treat everything that happens to you in life a lesson, both bad and good. Every interaction, every situation, is there to teach you something. Figuring out what you can take away from each situation will do you the world of good.
Ask People You Know
The people you know may be able to give you more insight into what you think you'd be good at. Ask your friends and family and see what they say. Some people also like to go for psychic readings, although this is entirely down to the individual and their beliefs.
Think Of The Times You Feel The Most Alive
Think back to all of the times that you have felt the most alive. Was it when you were writing an amazing story or blog post? When you were helping somebody with their relationship issues? When you were strutting your stuff down a catwalk?
Don't wait for your purpose to come to you. Get out there and find it!

Outernet Partnership for International Development
A telecommunications service that can be offered via a constellation of low-cost cubesat satellites.
UK Lead Supplier
Clyde Space
International Partner
We work with:
- Outernet Inc.
Clyde Space and American company Outernet have partnered to develop a telecommunications service that can be offered via a constellation of low-cost cubesat satellites. Such a constellation could revolutionise the provision of low cost broadband to remote regions of the world by providing and developing a mass producible CubeSat at a far lower cost than is currently available. Clyde Space's CubeSat expertise will help Outernet to push forward with this unique project to supply a low cost alternative to traditional telecommunications infrastructure.
Reaching people in all parts of the world with critical information requires employing multiple broadcast technologies. CubeSats in low-Earth Orbit are an important part of that plan. Specifically, the CubeSats that Outernet will receive from Clyde Space will allow for the development of cheaper user-end receivers and will help Outernet achieve hardware independence by owning its own space assets. Clyde Space will get the opportunity to demonstrate their CubeSat capability whilst enabling the Outernet project to pursue its goal of offering a near continuous broadcast of humanitarian data to those most in need.

CAIRO - Egypt deported a French journalist without explanation, the reporter said Wednesday, the latest move in an ongoing crackdown by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's government on freedom of expression and the media.
Correspondent Remy Pigaglio, who worked for several publications including Catholic daily La Croix and was based in Egypt since 2014, was returning from vacation in France and prevented from entering the country on Monday. Pigaglio said he has a valid residency work permit and a press card, and was detained for 30 hours at Cairo International Airport before being sent back to Paris.
Authorities took away his mobile phone and examined photos on it, confiscated his passport, and barred him from speaking with embassy officials and family until Monday evening, he said by telephone from Paris. He was held overnight in a cell at the airport.
"I don't understand it at all, and still don't know why they decided to ban me from entering the territory," he said, adding that he wasn't treated badly. He said none of his photos were suspicious but that some of them were of journalists holding a general assembly meeting at their union headquarters amid a sit-in earlier this month.
The French ambassador to Cairo tried to intervene on his behalf but did not manage to prevent the deportation, and is urging Egyptian authorities to reconsider their decision, France's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
In Paris, Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told reporters after a Cabinet meeting that he protested the move, calling his Egyptian counterpart and telling him he "couldn't remain indifferent to a situation that infringes the freedom of the press."
French journalists in Egypt demanded an explanation, saying in a statement that the deportation was a sign of "authorities' growing repression of Egyptian and foreign media: surveillance, arrest, expulsion and detention."
Journalists have been regularly detained, jailed, and prosecuted under the rule of el-Sissi, who led the 2013 military overthrow of the Islamist Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected but divisive president. Foreigners working in a variety of fields have been denied entry to Egypt without explanation.
Egypt was ranked 158 out of 180 countries in the 2015 Press Freedom Index, according to Reporters Without Borders, a freedom of expression advocacy group. In December, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Egypt was second only to China as the world's worst jailer of journalists in 2015.
One of Pigaglio's last articles covered the sit-in at the headquarters of Egypt's journalists' union in downtown Cairo where he took the photos on his phone, and where demonstrators were protesting the arrest of two journalists police seized from the building.
In an unrelated development, defence lawyers said a Cairo appeals court quashed five-year prison terms handed down on May 14 against 47 anti-government protesters convicted of breaking a law that effectively bans street demonstrations.
However, they said the court upheld the lower tribunal's decision to slap a fine of 100,000 pounds (about 10,000 dollars) on each of the 47 protesters. The appeals court verdict was passed late Tuesday.
The 47 were among a total of 152 protesters convicted on May 14 of breaking the demonstrations law during protests on April 25 against the government's decision to hand over control of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia. The 152 were sentenced to prison terms ranging from two to five years; many were tried in absentia.
Earlier this month, a new draft bill was submitted to Egypt's parliament on regulating the media.
Journalists say it would likely bring the demise of dozens of low-budget, online media outlets serving as refuge for young writers and liberal activists escaping government restrictions on freedom of expression. Awaiting approval by a parliament dominated by el-Sissi loyalists, lawmakers are also set to approve clauses that would ban all live video transmissions without permits. Insiders expect such permits will be denied to non-state media.
European Union member states broadly back el-Sissi and continue to sell Egypt sophisticated weaponry under the rationale that the country needs the firepower to fight a growing insurgency by Islamic militants in the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt, they argue, remains a bulwark of stability in a volatile Middle East.
A French parliamentary delegation was in Cairo the very day Pigaglio was detained, with Philippe Folliot, head of the French-Egyptian friendship group in the National Assembly telling The Associated Press that "nothing" could impact good relations between the two countries. He later however denounced Pigaglio's expulsion on Twitter, saying that it "doesn't improve Egypt's image."
El-Sissi's harsh crackdown on critics has left thousands jailed and fanned doubts over his leadership, with many nations voicing concerns.
Close partner Italy has been particularly critical after an Italian doctoral student was found tortured to death after disappearing on Jan. 25, a day that saw a massive police presence in Cairo, prompting accusations that Egypt's security services were involved.
Italy has withdrawn its ambassador to Cairo over the case of Giulio Regeni and said Egypt was not being sufficiently co-operative in the investigation. Egypt denies its security services were involved in Regeni's killing.
Associated Press writer Sylvie Corbet in Paris contributed to this report.

Animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), added its voice to the chorus of organizations calling on Santa Claus to end his practice of using reindeer to pull his sleigh.
"Reindeer are proud, majestic, noble creatures who deserve to live independent, cruelty-free lives with their families," reads PETA's statement. "By keeping them captive and forcing them to perform exhausting labor in high-stress situations, Santa Claus is sending the message to the world's children that it is perfectly okay to mistreat animals for your own ends. It is long past time for Mr. Claus—a supposed 'saint'—to end this cruel exploitation."
In a series of Tweets, Santa responded to PETA's statement:
"I care about my reindeer more than PETA could possibly know. I have lived and worked with reindeer for more than a century."
"Reindeer in the wild have an average life span of less than ten years. They are routinely eaten by wolves, polar bears, and Abominable Snow Monsters."
"My reindeer live for decades in comfort and safety. I have elf veterinarians to provide them with free health care. They live fulfilling, meaningful, purpose-driven lives. They even sing, dance, and play reindeer games."
PETA's salvo adds an animal-welfare angle to the reindeer controversy. Until now, most of the opposition to Santa's use of reindeer has come from environmental groups who allege that Santa's reindeer contribute heavily to global warming.
"Because Santa's reindeer are magic, they produce more methane and carbon dioxide in one night of flying than America's entire cattle population does in a year," argues Lulu Skiptamalu, a spokesperson for the Foundation for Research to Effectively Enact Zero Emissions (FREEZE).
Santa was conspicuously not a co-signer of the Paris Accords, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
At a heated press conference recently, Santa assured the assembled crowd, "Look, if anybody has a stake in keeping the North Pole cold, it's me. We've reduced the workshop's carbon footprint by 37% over the past fifteen years and we're working toward LEED certification."
When pressed about his reindeer's contribution to climate change, an obviously exasperated Santa responded, "The few electric sleighs available only have a range of a few hundred miles. That won't even get me to Nova Scotia. And even if there were charging stations all along my route, recharging the sleigh would add incalculable hours to my trip. It would take me at least a week to get everything delivered. I like a white Christmas as much as the next guy, but I only have one day to work with."
Reached for comment, Elon Musk asserted, "Tesla is currently working on the next generation of electric sleighs. While the sleigh market is definitely a niche, we feel it is important. Sleighs present a unique engineering challenge because the necessary battery size prevents adequate lift. But we'll do everything we can to support Santa. We're big fans."


text: Boscoreale is a comune and town in the province of Naples, Campania, located in the Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio under the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, known for the fruit and vineyards of Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio. There is also a fine Vesuvian lava stone production. The neighborhood Monte Bursaccio, which was overcome by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE that obliterated and preserved its better-known neighbors, Pompeii and Herculaneum, is famous for the frescoes of its aristocratic villas, excavated before World War I. A hoard of Roman silver and coins that had been hurriedly stashed in a cistern for protection at the time of the eruption was also recovered in Boscoreale in 1895, and divided among museums, including the Louvre.Boscoreale, about a kilometer north of Pompeii of which it was an expansive, more rural outlying suburb, was notable in antiquity for having numerous aristocratic country villas and was preserved as a hunting park - hence its name, meaning "Royal Grove" - by the kings of Naples. The villa of P. Fannius Synistor was built and decorated shortly after mid-first century BC. The quality of its frescoes seems to have preserved them from changes in fashion, before the villa was entombed in the eruption.The Antiquarium of Boscoreale was founded in 1991 by the Soprintendenza archeologica di Pompei thanks to the finds from Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, Terzigno, and Boscoreale and to a didactic apparatus.The neighboring Boscotrecase yielded some elite works of art to excavators at the same time, in particular at the Villa of Agrippa Postumus, also known as the Imperial Villa or the Villa of Augusta.

Recently news was going around that an Android bug named QuadRooter had affected close to 900 mn Android smartphone users. According to Google, users should not worry about this threat.
While Google acknowledges the reported threats, it says that the company's Verify App feature on the Play store already blocks the apps that are trying to take advantage of the QuadRooter.
Speaking to Android Central, Google spokesperson gave this statement, "We appreciate Check Point's research as it helps improve the safety of the broader mobile ecosystem. Android devices with our most recent security patch level are already protected against three of these four vulnerabilities. The fourth vulnerability, CVE-2016-5340, will be addressed in an upcoming Android security bulletin, though Android partners can take action sooner by referencing the public patch Qualcomm has provided. Exploitation of these issues depends on users also downloading and installing a malicious application. Our Verify Apps and SafetyNet protections help identify, block, and remove applications that exploit vulnerabilities like these."
Check Point Software technologies unveiled the research detailing the vulnerability that is said to affect over 900 million devices running Android. The company reported the four vulnerabilities to Qualcomm back in April. These vulnerabilities affect the smartphone drivers which control the communication between multiple chipsets components. According to Check Point, users should be on the latest Android OS version to avoid these vulnerabilities, as well as not side-load any Android app.
Latest devices in the market including Google Nexus 5X / 6 / 6P, HTC 10, LG G5, OnePlus 3, Moto X (2016), Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge including the most secure BlackBerry DTEK50 is also affected by the flaw. Even the secure BlackPhone 1 and 2 have been affected by this flaw, states The Inquirer.
According to Google, three out of the four vulnerabilities have already been fixed in the August Android OS security patch and the fourth one would be fixed in the September security update.
While Verify Apps is a feature that is on by default for those using Android 5.0 and up devices, the older handsets running Jelly Bean version will have to manually switch on the 'Verify Apps' feature in settings.

What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition where men experience breast tissue growth, often due to an imbalance of hormones (high estrogen and low androgen levels). This condition affects over 50 percent of adolescents with statistics narrowing down to over 3 million individuals in the US alone. Moreover, about 48 to 64 percent of males in their pubescence experience gynecomastia first when they are 10 years old. Nonetheless, the peak onset mostly appears among boys who are aged 13 and 14 years. The good thing with this teenage gynecomastia is that the fat tissues that accumulate around the breast will eventually flatten out as the person approaches adulthood. Gynecomastia, therefore, becomes a major problem when it is experienced in adulthood.
What Causes Adult Gynecomastia?
Any kind of gynecomastia is linked to increased estrogen production, which is a female characteristics hormone. High estrogen levels lead to low testosterone production that then causes pectoral fat accumulation. So, what causes these elevated levels of estrogen?
Medical Conditions
Reports indicate that a pre-existing medical condition could be the possible trigger of estrogen production in males. This mainly occurs when a man experiences a side effect after using certain medication or as a result of drug abuse. Medical conditions such as kidney failure, malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, and Klinefelter syndrome, for instance, have been directly or indirectly linked to the development of gynecomastia due to high estrogen production. If you are under an anti-retroviral, any antipsychotics, or any medication meant for prostate cancer therapy, you are also at risk of experiencing abnormal breast enlargement that could develop into gynecomastia. Use of steroids also has an after-effect that is similar to gynecomastia in some cases.
Some males also experience elevated estrogen levels if a lot of this female sex hormone is produced during puberty and then carried over to adulthood. Due to this abnormal balance in hormones, your body will create a chain reaction where the testosterone production and metabolism are lower.
Your diet could also greatly impact the development of gynecomastia because some foods are known to trigger the production of estrogen. If you drink milk obtained from a pregnant cow or eat foods high in estrogen, for instance, you might start dealing with natural breast enlargement. Some of the foods you might consider avoiding include soy products, oats, rice, beans, apples, sesame seeds, rice bran, tofu, tempeh, coffee, and carrots.

In the aftermath of the 2007 global financial crisis, regulators have agreed a substantial tightening of prudential regulation for banks operating in the traditional banking sector (TBS). The TBS is stringently regulated under the Basel Accords to moderate financial stability and to minimise risk to government and taxpayers. While prudential regulation is important from a financial stability perspective, the flipside is that the Basel Accords only apply to the TBS, they do not regulate the shadow banking sector (SBS). While it is not disputed that the SBS provides numerous benefits given the net credit growth of the economy since the global financial crisis has come from the SBS rather than traditional banking channels, the SBS also poses many risks. Therefore, the fact that the SBS is not subject to prudential regulation is a cause of serious systemic concern. The introduction of Basel IV, which compliments Basel III, seeks to complete the Basel framework on prudential banking regulation. On the example of this set of standards and its potential negative consequences for the TBS, this paper aims to visualise the incentives for TBS institutions to move some of their activities into the SBS, and thus stress the need for more comprehensive regulation of the SBS. Current coronavirus crisis forced Basel Committee to postpone implementation of the Basel IV rules – this could be perceived as a chance to complete the financial regulatory framework and address the SBS as well.

The Relationship between Empirical Legal Studies and Doctrinal Legal Research
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2020
|empirical legal studies, legal research methods, doctrinal legal research, new legal realism, critical legal studies, law and policy
|Gareth Davies
|AbstractAuthor's information
This article considers how empirical legal studies (ELS) and doctrinal legal research (DLR) interact. Rather than seeing them as competitors that are methodologically independent and static, it suggests that they are interdependent activities, which may each be changed by interaction with the other, and that this change brings both opportunities and threats. For ELS, the article argues that DLR should properly be understood as part of its theoretical framework, yet in practice little attention is given to doctrine in empirical work. Paying more attention to DLR and legal frames generally would help ELS meet the common criticism that it is under-theorised and excessively policy oriented. On the other hand, an embrace of legal thinking, particularly of critical legal thinking, might lead to loss of status for ELS in policy circles and mainstream social science. For DLR, ELS offers a chance for it to escape the threat of insular sterility and irrelevance and to participate in a founded commentary on the world. The risk, however, is that in tailoring legal analysis to what can be empirically researched legal scholars become less analytically ambitious and more safe, and their traditionally important role as a source of socially relevant critique is weakened. Inevitably, in offering different ways of moving to normative conclusions about the law, ELS and DLR pose challenges to each other, and meeting those challenges will require sometimes uncomfortable self-reflection.
Access and Reuse of Machine-Generated Data for Scientific Research
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2019
|machine-generated data, Internet of Things, scientific research, personal data, GDPR
|Alexandra Giannopoulou
|AbstractAuthor's information
Data driven innovation holds the potential in transforming current business and knowledge discovery models. For this reason, data sharing has become one of the central points of interest for the European Commission towards the creation of a Digital Single Market. The value of automatically generated data, which are collected by Internet-connected objects (IoT), is increasing: from smart houses to wearables, machine-generated data hold significant potential for growth, learning, and problem solving. Facilitating researchers in order to provide access to these types of data implies not only the articulation of existing legal obstacles and of proposed legal solutions but also the understanding of the incentives that motivate the sharing of the data in question. What are the legal tools that researchers can use to gain access and reuse rights in the context of their research?
Mercosur: Limits of Regional Integration
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 3 2019
|Mercosur, European Union, regionalism, integration, international organisation
|Ricardo Caichiolo
|AbstractAuthor's information
This study is focused on the evaluation of successes and failures of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). This analysis of Mercosur's integration seeks to identify the reasons why the bloc has stagnated in an incomplete customs union condition, although it was originally created to achieve a common market status. To understand the evolution of Mercosur, the study offers some thoughts about the role of the European Union (EU) as a model for regional integration. Although an EU-style integration has served as a model, it does not necessarily set the standards by which integration can be measured as we analyse other integration efforts. However, the case of Mercosur is emblematic: during its initial years, Mercosur specifically received EU technical assistance to promote integration according to EU-style integration. Its main original goal was to become a common market, but so far, almost thirty years after its creation, it remains an imperfect customs union.
Levying VAT in the EU Customs Union: Towards a Single Indirect Tax Area? The Ordeal of Indirect Tax Harmonisation
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 3 2019
|single indirect tax area, VAT action plan, quick fixes, e-commerce package, definitive VAT system
|Ben Terra
|AbstractAuthor's information
This contribution deals with the latest proposals regarding levying VAT in the European Union (EU) Customs Union. The present system, which has been in place since 1993 and was supposed to be transitional, splits every cross-border transaction into an exempted cross-border supply and a taxable cross-border acquisition. It is like a customs system, but lacks equivalent controls and is therefore the root of cross-border fraud. After many years of unsuccessful attempts, the Commission abandoned the objective of implementing definitive VAT arrangements based on the principle of taxing all cross-border supplies of goods in the Member State of their origin, under the same conditions that apply to domestic trade including VAT rates. The European Parliament and the Council agreed that the definitive system should be based on the principle of taxation in the Member State of the destination of the goods. After a brief discussion of the VAT Action Plan of 2016 (Section 1), the e-commerce package in the form of Directive (EU) 2017/2455 is dealt with (Section 2), followed by the proposal to harmonise and simplify certain rules in the VAT system and introduce the definitive system, only partially adopted (Section 3). Section 4 deals with the proposal to introduce detailed measures of the definitive VAT system. The proposed harmonisation and simplification of certain rules were meant to become applicable on 1 January 2019, but will become only partially applicable on 2020. It is proposed to make the detailed measures of the definitive VAT system applicable in 2022. It remains to be seen whether the Member States are willing to accept the definitive VAT system at all; hence the subtitle 'the ordeal of indirect tax harmonisation'.
The Foundations of the Internal Market: Free Trade Area and Customs Union under Articles 28-31 TFEU
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 3 2019
|free trade area, EU Customs Union, internal market, European Union, Brexit
|Stefan Enchelmaier
|AbstractAuthor's information
This contribution places the provisions of the Treaty creating a free trade area and customs union between the Member States (Articles 28-31 TFEU) in their wider context. It then focuses on the interpretation of Article 30 in the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Throughout, it casts sideways glances at corresponding provisions of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). As it turns out, the abolition of customs duties and charges having equivalent effect, and the establishment of a customs union between Member States, were important milestones in the development of European unification. They became overshadowed later by more spectacular developments in the case law on the free movement of goods, persons and services. As a consequence, the importance of the customs provisions is widely underrated. Brexit concentrates the minds in this respect, as an important economy is about to rearrange and even recreate the basic building blocks of its international trading relations.
The Brussels International Business Court: Initial Overview and Analysis
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 1 2019
|international jurisdiction, English, court language, Belgium, business court
|Erik Peetermans and Philippe Lambrecht
|AbstractAuthor's information
In establishing the Brussels International Business Court (BIBC), Belgium is following an international trend to attract international business disputes to English-speaking state courts. The BIBC will be an autonomous business court with the competence to settle, in English, disputes between companies throughout Belgium. This article focuses on the BIBC's constitutionality, composition, competence, proceedings and funding, providing a brief analysis and critical assessment of each of these points. At the time of writing, the Belgian Federal Parliament has not yet definitively passed the Bill establishing the BIBC, meaning that amendments are still possible.
The Singapore International Commercial Court: The Future of Litigation?
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 1 2019
|international commercial court, Singapore, dispute resolution, litigation
|Man Yip
|AbstractAuthor's information
The Singapore International Commercial Court ('SICC') was launched on 5 January 2015, at the Opening of Legal Year held at the Singapore Supreme Court. What prompted the creation of SICC? How is the SICC model of litigation different from litigation in the Singapore High Court? What is the SICC's track record and what does it tell us about its future? This article seeks to answer these questions at greater depth than existing literature. Importantly, it examines these questions from the angle of reimagining access of justice for litigants embroiled in international commercial disputes. It argues that the SICC's enduring contribution to improving access to justice is that it helps to change our frame of reference for international commercial litigation. Hybridisation, internationalisation, and party autonomy, the underpinning values of the SICC, are likely to be the values of the future of dispute resolution. International commercial dispute resolution frameworks – typically litigation frameworks – that unduly emphasise national boundaries and formalities need not and should not be the norm. Crucially, the SICC co-opts a refreshing public-private perspective to the resolution of international commercial disputes. It illuminates on the public interest element of the resolution of such disputes which have for some time fallen into the domain of international commercial arbitration; at the same time, it introduces greater scope for self-determination in international commercial litigation.
Empirical Legal Research in Europe: Prevalence, Obstacles, and Interventions
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2018
|empirical legal research, Europe, popularity, increase, journals
|Gijs van Dijck, Shahar Sverdlov and Gabriela Buck
|AbstractAuthor's information
Empirical Legal research (ELR) has become well established in the United States, whereas its popularity in Europe is debatable. This article explores the popularity of ELR in Europe. The authors carried out an empirical analysis of 78 European-based law journals, encompassing issues from 2008-2017. The findings demonstrate that a supposed increase of ELR is questionable (at best).
Evidence-Based Regulation and the Translation from Empirical Data to Normative Choices: A Proportionality Test
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2018
|evidence-based, regulation, proportionality, empirical law studies, law and society studies
|Rob van Gestel and Peter van Lochem
|AbstractAuthor's information
Studies have shown that the effects of scientific research on law and policy making are often fairly limited. Different reasons can be given for this: scientists are better at falsifying hypothesis than at predicting the future, the outcomes of academic research and empirical evidence can be inconclusive or even contradictory, the timing of the legislative cycle and the production of research show mismatches, there can be clashes between the political rationality and the economic or scientific rationality in the law making process et cetera. There is one 'wicked' methodological problem, though, that affects all regulatory policy making, namely: the 'jump' from empirical facts (e.g. there are too few organ donors in the Netherlands and the voluntary registration system is not working) to normative recommendations of what the law should regulate (e.g. we need to change the default rule so that everybody in principle becomes an organ donor unless one opts out). We are interested in how this translation process takes place and whether it could make a difference if the empirical research on which legislative drafts are build is more quantitative type of research or more qualitative. That is why we have selected two cases in which either type of research played a role during the drafting phase. We use the lens of the proportionality principle in order to see how empirical data and scientific evidence are used by legislative drafters to justify normative choices in the design of new laws.

The Questionable Legitimacy of the OECD/G20 BEPS Project
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2017
|base erosion and profit shifting, OECD, G20, legitimacy, international tax reform
|Sissie Fung
|AbstractAuthor's information
The global financial crisis of 2008 and the following public uproar over offshore tax evasion and corporate aggressive tax planning scandals gave rise to unprecedented international cooperation on tax information exchange and coordination on corporate tax reforms. At the behest of the G20, the OECD developed a comprehensive package of 'consensus-based' policy reform measures aimed to curb base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) by multinationals and to restore fairness and coherence to the international tax system. The legitimacy of the OECD/G20 BEPS Project, however, has been widely challenged. This paper explores the validity of the legitimacy concerns raised by the various stakeholders regarding the OECD/G20 BEPS Project.
The Peer Review Process of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes
A Critical Assessment on Authority and Legitimacy
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2017
|Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information, exercise of regulatory authority, due process requirements, peer review reports, legitimacy
|Leo E.C. Neve
|AbstractAuthor's information
The Global Forum on transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes has undertaken peer reviews on the implementation of the global standard of exchange of information on request, both from the perspective of formalities available and from the perspective of actual implementation. In the review reports Global Forum advises jurisdictions on required amendments of regulations and practices. With these advices, the Global Forum exercises regulatory authority. The article assesses the legitimacy of the exercise of such authority by the Global Forum and concludes that the exercise of such authority is not legitimate for the reason that the rule of law is abused by preventing jurisdictions to adhere to due process rules.
Legality of the World Bank's Informal Decisions to Expand into the Tax Field, and Implications of These Decisions for Its Legitimacy
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 2 2017
|World Bank, legality, legitimacy, global tax governance, tax policy and tax administration reforms
|Uyanga Berkel-Dorlig
|AbstractAuthor's information
The emergence of global tax governance was triggered by common tax problems, which are now still being faced by international society of nation-states. In the creation of this framework, international institutions have been playing a major role. One of these institutions is the World Bank (Bank). However, those who write about the virtues and vices of the main creators of the framework usually disregard the Bank. This article, therefore, argues that this disregard is not justified because the Bank has also been playing a prominent role. Since two informal decisions taken in the past have contributed to this position of the Bank, the article gives in addition to it answers to the following two related questions: whether these informal decisions of the Bank were legal and if so, what implications, if any, they have for the Bank's legitimacy.

The Integrity of the Tax System after BEPS: A Shared Responsibility
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 1 2017
|flawed legislation, tax privileges, tax planning, corporate social responsibility, tax professionals
|Hans Gribnau
|AbstractAuthor's information
The international tax system is the result of the interaction of different actors who share the responsibility for its integrity. States and multinational corporations both enjoy to a certain extent freedom of choice with regard to their tax behaviour – which entails moral responsibility. Making, interpreting and using tax rules therefore is inevitably a matter of exercising responsibility. Both should abstain from viewing tax laws as a bunch of technical rules to be used as a tool without any intrinsic moral or legal value. States bear primary responsibility for the integrity of the international tax system. They should become more reticent in their use of tax as regulatory instrument – competing with one another for multinationals' investment. They should also act more responsibly by cooperating to make better rules to prevent aggressive tax planning, which entails a shift in tax payments from very expert taxpayers to other taxpayers. Here, the distributive justice of the tax system and a level playing field should be guaranteed. Multinationals should abstain from putting pressure on states and lobbying for favourable tax rules that disproportionally affect other taxpayers – SMEs and individual taxpayers alike. Multinationals and their tax advisers should avoid irresponsible conduct by not aiming to pay a minimalist amount of (corporate income) taxes – merely staying within the boundaries of the letter of the law. Especially CSR-corporations should assume the responsibility for the integrity of the tax system.
Post-BEPS Tax Advisory and Tax Structuring from a Tax Practitioner's View
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 1 2017
|BEPS, value creation, tax structuring, international taxation
|Paul Lankhorst and Harmen van Dam
|AbstractAuthor's information
The international tax landscape is changing and it is changing fast. The political perception is that taxation of multinational enterprises is not aligned with the 'economic activity' that produces their profits (i.e. not aligned with 'value creation'). The perception links 'value creation' with 'employees and sales'.
Corporate Taxation and BEPS: A Fair Slice for Developing Countries?
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 1 2017
|Fairness, international tax, legitimacy, BEPS, developing countries
|Irene Burgers and Irma Mosquera
|AbstractAuthor's information
The aim of this article is to examine the differences in perception of 'fairness' between developing and developed countries, which influence developing countries' willingness to embrace the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) proposals and to recommend as to how to overcome these differences. The article provides an introduction to the background of the OECD's BEPS initiatives (Action Plan, Low Income Countries Report, Multilateral Framework, Inclusive Framework) and the concerns of developing countries about their ability to implement BEPS (Section 1); a non-exhaustive overview of the shortcomings of the BEPS Project and its Action Plan in respect of developing countries (Section 2); arguments on why developing countries might perceive fairness in relation to corporate income taxes differently from developed countries (Section 3); and recommendations for international organisations, governments and academic researchers on where fairness in respect of developing countries should be more properly addressed (Section 4).

Exit, Voice and Loyalty from the Perspective of Hedge Funds Activism in Corporate Governance
|Erasmus Law Review, Issue 4 2016
|Uncertainty, entrepreneurship, agency costs, loyalty shares, institutional investors
|Alessio M. Pacces
|AbstractAuthor's information
This article discusses hedge funds activism based on Hirschman's classic. It is argued that hedge funds do not create the loyalty concerns underlying the usual short-termism critique of their activism, because the arbiters of such activism are typically indexed funds, which cannot choose short-term exit. Nevertheless, the voice activated by hedge funds can be excessive for a particular company. Furthermore, this article claims that the short-termism debate cannot shed light on the desirability of hedge funds activism. Neither theory nor empirical evidence can tell whether hedge funds activism leads to short-termism or long-termism. The real issue with activism is a conflict of entrepreneurship, namely a conflict between the opposing views of the activists and the incumbent management regarding in how long an individual company should be profitable. Leaving the choice between these views to institutional investors is not efficient for every company at every point in time. Consequently, this article argues that regulation should enable individual companies to choose whether to curb hedge funds activism depending on what is efficient for them. The recent European experience reveals that loyalty shares enable such choice, even in the midstream, operating as dual-class shares in disguise. However, loyalty shares can often be introduced without institutional investors' consent. This outcome could be improved by allowing dual-class recapitalisations, instead of loyalty shares, but only with a majority of minority vote. This solution would screen for the companies for which temporarily curbing activism is efficient, and induce these companies to negotiate sunset clauses with institutional investors.

In the article "China, the EU and multilateralism: the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank", published in the issue 1/2018 of Revista Brasileira de Política Internacional (v. 60, n. 1), Ricardo Bustillo and Maiza Andoni, both from the University of the Basque Country, discuss the underlying forces that led to the creation of the AIIB and how it relates to the current established financial architecture. They analyze how the launching of the AIIB has generated a diplomatic conflict between China and the United States, on the one hand, and, on the other, how relevant the support from European Union countries not only for the AIIB but also for China's view of global governance was.
Basing their assessment on the Hegemonic Transition Theory, Bustillo and Andoni conclude that the AIIB cannot be interpreted as a step towards hegemonic transition, but as progress towards a more multilateral financial world order. The authors were interviewed by Bruna Bosi Moreira, PhD candidate at the Institute of International Relations of the University of Brasilia, regarding their article.
1) In your article, you highlight the similarities in China's view of governance and multilateralism with that of the European Union and how this has fostered cooperation. Do you think the differences in values between the two and the Chinese political regime might affect this cooperative relationship in the long term? How?
We consider that, in the long term, the relationship between the European Union and China will experience several ups and downs and that they will have both progress and setbacks. Both of them oppose to USA's unipolar hegemonic vision, and they both share strategic economic interests. Trade and investment agreements represent the central pillar of the relationship, and both partners will join forces to defend their interests from any opposing interference.
Indeed, EU Members have criticised the Chinese political regime, mainly as it refers to the respect of human rights, but the EU has preferred to include this sensitive subject as a part of a package of measures that, expectedly, will bring China closer to European values. Of course, we do not exclude the arising of bilateral disputes about specific issues, but we think that they will be probably caused by economic disagreements, as it was the case with the concession of the Market Economy Status to China. EU member states will probably consider economic interests more relevant than the respect towards human rights inside China, as it has happened until now.
2) It seems that the Trump administration's attitude towards multilateralism has been reinforcing China's role in several international realms. How do you think this "Trump effect" impacts the financial architecture?
The main characteristic of the "Trump effect" is that it increases substantially the degree of uncertainty in the international arena. Decisions to be taken by Washington are increasingly unpredictable which makes the USA a less reliable partner. This attitude reinforces the role of the other principal world leaders, including the EU and China. As it concerns the international financial architecture, we think that USA's refusal to admit a higher involvement of China in USA led institutions has paved the way to promote a new set of institutions, but this is a policy adopted long before Trump's arrival to the presidency.
3) Regarding international organizations, you present a Chinese approach that is twofold: the reform of the traditional organizations and the launching of new ones and you conclude your article with the following: "[…] the creation of the AIIB should simply be labelled a progress towards a more multilateral financial world order". What challenges and opportunities for the AIIB can be drawn from this conclusion?
The adoption of transparent and standard international rules has been one of the main challenges for the acceptance of the AIIB. Very often, China's initiatives generate some fear whatever their nature or their objective, only because a world leader different from the USA and Europe has proposed them. When the AIIB was launched several authors and policymakers considered that the initiative represented a step to build an alternative structure and that it was a challenge to traditional institutions.
Nonetheless, we are witnessing a growing collaboration between the AIIB and the other central financing institutions, including the World Bank, so that finally the new institution seems to have reinforced the multilateral financial scheme. Taking into account that traditional institutions had reduced their level of involvement in the financing of developing countries' needs, the AIIB has emerged at the right moment to channel China's resources to these countries. As mentioned above, the main challenge regarding AIIB future management is to continue employing standard international rules, as well as to foster its relationship with the other world multilateral development banks. The opportunity must be to make AIIB a valid instrument to finance investment projects among Asian developing countries, and not a mere strategic tool to display China's higher level of influence in international affairs.

The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Beautiful – The Carole King Musical (Ghostlight Records), won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and is available on CD, digitally, and on vinyl. Beautiful opened in London at the Aldwych Theatre in February 2015 and launched its First National Tour in September 2015.
Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation. Beautiful features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including "I Feel The Earth Move," "One Fine Day," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "You've Got A Friend" and the title song.
The creative team of Beautiful also includes Derek McLane (Set Design), Alejo Vietti (Costume Design), Peter Kaczorowski (Lighting Design), Brian Ronan (Sound Design), Charles G. LaPointe (Wig and Hair Design), Steve Sidwell (Orchestrations and Music Arrangements), Jason Howland (Music Supervision) and John Miller (Music Coordination).

Energy company bosses have been accused of "utter complacency" and "neglecting" their customers as they defended their response to the Christmas storms.
Appearing before MPs on the energy select committee, electricity network chiefs insisted the vast majority of their customers who lost power were reconnected swiftly.
They said their ability to restore power was hampered by the severity, duration and unusually widespread geographical impact of the bad weather, which saw "the whole of UK... battered at same time". This meant companies could not lend staff to help each other out as they normally would.
But Tim Yeo, chairman of the energy select committee, said that the network companies' plans had been "inadequate" and accused them of "utter complacency".
He claimed they had failed to show "any expression of real concern" for their customers.
"There is no sense of urgency in what you said about any plans to step up your capacity to respond to severe weather even though we now have quite clear warnings that extreme events are likely to take place more frequently in future," he told the chief executives.
"I have to conclude that you are exploiting your privileged monopoly position and you have displayed a neglect of your customers which I personally find absolutely astonishing."
Hundreds of thousands of customers lost power during the Christmas period, but David Smith, the head of the Energy Networks Association, the trade body, was lambasted by MPs for being unable to say how many had been cut off for more than 24 hours.
Basil Scarsella, chief executive of UK Power Networks, which had hundreds of thousands of customers disconnected in the south-east of England, said the response "took so long because the damage was right across the network" and the severe weather lasted longer than expected.
He said the wind speeds seen during the storms had been significantly higher than initially forecast, reaching up to 80mph against original forecasts of half that.
"Notwithstanding that, we managed on the Monday [before Christmas] when it hit to have all our workforce pretty much on deck and our estimation of the damage was pretty accurate," he said.
"What we did not estimate accurately was the duration of strong winds which resulted in significantly more severe damage."
He added: "Because of the severity of the storm and the national nature of the storm we were not able to provide additional resources to other networks or indeed receive additional resources."
But he admitted the company was looking at employing more front line staff and added: "We feel sorry for the customers and especially the ones that were off over Christmas."
Mark Mathieson, managing director of networks for SSE, said his company's response had been "very good".
He said it was the first time he could remember that companies "couldn't provide [help] to each other because everyone was getting hit".
He said he believed the "unique" issues would still have arisen outside the Christmas week because "the whole of UK was being battered at same time".
The widespread floods had also made the impact of the storms worse than usual as in some places the ground was "so saturated it wasn't the tree snapping, it was being blown over whole", he said.
After the network chiefs came under fire from MPs for failing to apologise, Mr Mathieson said: "We are sorry and we did communicate with customers that we were sorry they were off."
The level of compensation offered to those cut off was also criticised by MPs, with Ian Lavery MP calling the industry's minimum commitment of £27 for a power cut of more than 48 hours an "absolute pittance" and "derisory".
Several of the companies have voluntarily increased their compensation offer for those cut off over Christmas while regulator Ofgem said the standard amounts of compensation would be increased from 2015.
Network chiefs rebuffed suggestions from MPs that it would be cost-effective to bury power cables underground to avoid them being brought down by trees.
Steve Johnson, chief executive of Electricity North West, said undergrounding of cables was limited by cost as it was "ten times more expensive to put a cable underground".
"The cost of doing that across the UK would be tens of billions of pounds," he said.

Prevent unauthorized data from being shared externally
McAfee summarizes all collaboration activities with internal users, external partners, and personal emails along with sharing via anonymous links. Real-time policy enforcement ensures files in Office 365 are shared according to corporate policy. Layer in content rules and enforce remediation actions to remove permissions, downgrade permissions, and revoke links.
Enforce data loss prevention policies across Office 365
McAfee CASB enforces DLP policies across data at rest and in motion to ensure compliance with regulations and internal policies. McAfee supports DLP rules based on keywords, data identifiers, user groups, and regular expressions. Enforcement actions include coach users, notify administrator, block, encrypt, quarantine, tombstone, and delete. Leverage pre-built industry templates, create custom policies in McAfee, or leverage policies in an existing on-premises DLP solution.
Unified DLP reporting and remediation
McAfee reports on DLP violations in all Office 365 applications and other cloud services in a unified interface with highlighted excerpts revealing the exact content that triggered the DLP policy. During review, if a file does not violate a policy, the reviewer can rollback the remediation action to restore the file and/or its sharing permissions. Quarantined files are stored in a secure account within Office 365, not in McAfee's platform, for added security.
Deep integration with on-premises DLP solutions
With McAfee you have the option of leveraging our best-in-class DLP engine or the policies in your existing on-premises solution such as Symantec DLP, Intel McAfee DLP, Forcepoint DLP, and more. McAfee optionally performs a first-pass content inspection, brokers inspection by the on-premises solution, acts as an enforcement point to apply policies to data in the cloud, and registers enforcement in the on-premises solution that maintains the policy.

Insider and privileged user threats
McAfee automatically constructs a behavior model with dynamic and continuously updated thresholds for each user and team to identify activity indicative of insider threat, whether the threat is accidental or malicious. Privileged User Analytics identifies risk from dormant administrator accounts, excessive permissions, and unnecessary escalation of privileges and user provisioning.
Compromised accounts
McAfee detects compromised account activity in Office 365 based on brute force login attempts, logins from new and untrusted locations for a specific user, and consecutive login attempts from two locations in a time period that implies impossible travel, even if the two logins occur across two cloud services. Darknet Intelligence reveals user accounts for sale online that are at risk of compromise.
"Using McAfee along with Microsoft Graph, companies can leverage the massive productivity gains enabled by Office 365 while meeting their various compliance, threat protection and data security requirements."
"McAfee helps us securely enable high-impact cloud services like Office 365 while ensuring data security and compliance with HIPAA and HITECH."
"McAfee allows us to extend DLP outside the perimeter and into the cloud, and the user experience is seamless."
"Our users never see McAfee even though it is a key part of our IT security strategy, allowing us to keep our users and data safe so they can have global access from any device."

Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu: The Adventure of the Neural Psychoses by Lois H Gresh
Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu: The Adventure of the Neural Psychoses by Lois H Gresh
Published by Titan Books on 14th August 2018
400 pages
The story continues after Holmes and Watson escaped the tentacle creatures and stopped the tram machine. Now the River Thames is not safe and there is a new craze in the slums of London. Appearing in the dens were Eshockers, a device to zap the willing participant with an electric shock
Holmes and Watson were still trying to battle the strange creatures and as things got more serious, Holmes had to user every part of his brain to understand the situation. Professor Moriarty played a bigger role and whilst he was not working against Holmes, he was using the situation for his own monetary gains. The scenes in the Whitechapel Lunatic Asylum showed just how bad Victorian asylums were. The proprietor of the asylum Dr Reginald Sinclair and the inventor of the shocker was a character that I could not decide whether he was Dr trying to do the best for his patients or sadistic maniac. More was understood about Amelia Scarcliffe and I could understand why her back story in book 1 was important
The story flowed a lot more smoothly and because of what was going on made the story easy to get into. It was full of action and the death scenes were gruesome and graphic, just what I like. The back stories in the book helped you understand how serious the situation was, whether it was in Whitechapel or Half Moon Bay. The only thing that got on my nerves was Willie Jacobs and his nose jabbing and I just wanted to chop off his hands. The author yet again nailed Holmes and Watson's personality and there were times that you could see how much Holmes needed Watson. Some people may find the scenes with the animals disturbing but it was relevant to the story. I cannot wait for the final book in this series and hope that Homes will get to battle the Cthulhu. This series just got better.

text: Samsung's got a handful of announcements to offer its mobile fans at IFA this year, and it's started big with the Galaxy Note II. The new Android device packs a larger 5.5-inch, 1,280 x 720 16:9 screen, but still falls roughly within the same generous footprint of its predecessor. A year on, we've now got a more powerful SoC, up from a dual-core 1.4GHz processor to a new quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos chipset (yes, that's even faster than the one found in the Galaxy S III) and Android Jelly Bean right out of the box -- not to mention this being the LTE model. Samsung's putting a lot of focus on making the most of all that screen space and S Pen functionality and we got our hands (both of them) on the Galaxy Note II just a few hours earlier, so after the gallery, skip past the break for our first impressions.
