Freedom Mobile hopes to trigger a holiday shopping spree for the second year in a row with its promotion for an extra 100 gigabyte of data, but not everyone is convinced the new tactic will spark a repeat of last year's wireless price battle.
Shaw Communications Inc.'s wireless brand on Monday announced that wireless customers on 10 GB for $60 monthly plans will get a 100 GB cushion to use if they surpass their monthly limit, a surplus that won't expire as long as they remain customers. Technically, a customer could use it all in the first month if they really binged on Netflix, or they could save it for years to augment use when needed. Freedom also introduced two new monthly plans that will get the "big binge bonus": 15 GB for $80 and 20 GB for $100, data buckets the Big Three sell for nearly double the price.
The new offers come about one year after Freedom shook up the market when it launched the 10 GB plans and finally started selling the iPhone during the December shopping rush. Shortly afterward, the Big Three competitors responded with 10 GB for $60 offers of their own, an unprecedented discount that sparked a flurry of demand from customers used to paying up to $90 for 1 GB plans. Since then, industry analysts have noted that average revenue per user hasn't grown as fast as it used to, as consumers increasingly expect more data for less.
This year, Freedom is confident the deal will get a repeat reaction. Yet Citi analyst Adam Ilkowitz doesn't believe it will have a material impact on the competitive landscape.
"Compared to the launch of the Big Gig offers a year ago, this feels more limited and less likely to spark a response from the national carriers," Ilkowitz said in a note to clients Monday.
He expects the lessons from last year's promotional period will keep prices stable, though he does expect flare-ups on extra data or handset pricing.
So far, the Big Three don't appear to have matched Freedom's promotion. BCE Inc.'s spokesman said Bell plans to launch Black Friday promotions on Tuesday. Telus Corp. doesn't comment on pricing or promotion speculation, according to a spokesman who said promotions can be found online and in stores. Rogers said it will have offers on its nationwide network, but didn't specify timing.
Paul McAleese, Shaw's president of wireless, said the 100 GB of padding distinguishes Freedom from its competitors in a market in which there's traditionally been a reluctance to expand data buckets to match growing data usage. Meantime, the industry collected $1 billion in revenue from data overage fees in 2016, according to the latest available data from the telecom regulator.
There's a "failure of logic" in the pricing regimen that's "completely counter" to how Canadians are consuming data, McAleese said in a wide-ranging interview at Freedom's waterfront offices in downtown Toronto.
"Typically, the more you consume of something, the less you pay for it," McAleese said.
"Oh, I get why it's been priced this way. It's been priced this way because it's an extremely profitable way to do it, which is why Canada has the highest prices in the Western world for wireless use," he said.
Freedom has never charged data overage fees, so the 100 GB deal won't save customers any money compared with existing rates. But Freedom does throttle to 3G speeds once a customer exceeds their data cap. McAleese believes consumers will see value in an extra 100 GB of LTE data without an added charge.
So far, that strategy seems to be working for Freedom, the company formerly known as Wind Mobile that Shaw bought for $1.6 billion in 2016.
Armed with the 10 GB plans and the iPhone, Freedom added 265,629 wireless customers on contract in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, nearly triple the 97,063 postpaid customers it added the year prior. Average revenue per user, a critical industry metric, rose nine per cent in the fourth quarter, a period in which its largest competitors reported slower or stagnant growth in average billings.
The momentum helped push Shaw's overall revenue up 7.3 per cent to $5.24 billion for the year. This despite a massive restructuring — Shaw recorded a $450 million hit when 3,300 employees took a buyout package earlier this year — and challenges in a cable division that wasn't revived by a new television platform.
McAleese said Freedom, which added "modestly" to its headcount as it increased distribution channels and deployed more spectrum, is fortunate to be in a position of rapid growth. Still, he said it requires "the gravitas and the balance sheet and the strength of Shaw" as it expands its network. He wouldn't comment on plans for next year's 600 MHz spectrum auction, but noted that Shaw bought $430 million worth of spectrum from Vidéotron in 2017.
When it comes to network quality and speed, Freedom still lags its competitors. Telus Corp., BCE Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc. networks are three to five times faster than Freedom's, according to PCMag's 2018 study of the fastest networks in the country. (Telus won, followed by Bell and Rogers.) Nor can Freedom compete with the scope of the Big Three's national networks, given it operates out of home areas in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. There's no question that some markets are not suited to Freedom.
Still, Freedom has deployed enough spectrum to give customers in major cities an LTE experience. Next year, it plans to expand to Victoria and Nanaimo in B.C., Red Deer and Medicine Hat in Alberta, and to Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall and other towns along Highway 401 in Ontario. McAleese believes the additional 100 GB at LTE speeds will entice customers to the new offer.
But McAleese downplayed the importance of speed. Once it hits a certain point, say the jump to LTE from 3G, he said it doesn't matter for the vast majority of use cases.
McAleese would rather focus on data bucket size.
"Rather than debate the merits of a 256-kilobyte-per-second stream versus a four-megabyte-per-second stream versus whatever, we're trying to use the availability of larger buckets to embrace the trend and support Canadians' use of more and more data without having to pay overages for it," he said.


The Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB, French: Commission scolaire Lester-B.-Pearson) is one of the largest school boards on the island of Montreal and one of the nine English school boards in the province of Quebec. It is headquartered in Dorval, Quebec.
The LBPSB is responsible for English public schools from Verdun, through the West Island and Ile Perrot and "mainland" territories stretching west to the Ontario border. It is named after Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th Prime Minister.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board is the only school board in Canada to have an official consultative group of students to its executives. The group, entitled the 'Central Students' Committee' (CSC for short) produces formal responses to the consultations proposed by the Council of Commissioners.

After our debut Webcast on Saturday 16th March (click here to go to archived video) We've had lots of questions about the new features and what is the best version to buy.
I'll break down the key features and provide some ideas of how/why you would use them.
▪ It comes in three editions: Intro, Standard and Suite.
▪ Standard and Suite have additional features, Instruments, Packs and Effects.
▪ Intro is exceptional value and a great introduction to Ableton's main features.
▪ Suite is aimed at the producer who needs a wealth of sounds and virtual instruments.
All of the versions have the unique Session View for quick, intuitive composition, flexible performance and improvisation. This is the screen that can be used for Djing and Live performance.
▪ WAV, AIFF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC file support.
• Sampler – virtual sampling instrument with multisample playback and sound design.
• Corpus – simulates the acoustic properties of resonant objects such as pipes, membranes and tubes.
These features alone help to justify the price difference, they are powerful audio tools that help you to create manipulate pretty much any sound. I must admit that at first glance they don't 'look' impressive, but that is part of the whole concept of Live, its what goes on 'under the hood'.
These instruments don't place too much demand on your processor, graphically they are minimalistic but use your ears and you will be kindly rewarded!
In the web cast (link at the top) I demonstrated the use of the new Audio to Midi features; these are exclusive to Standard and Suite. Anyone who has used or seen these features will know how incredibly useful they are.
Other workstations do have this functionality but it's not as accessible as it is in Live.
Having this feature allows you infinite possibilities for sound sources and grooves.
Too many to go into here perhaps! One idea would be to use your voice as a sound source, imagine beat boxing the rhythm track, singing the bass-line and melody and then layering tones to make complete chords?
This is surely a great feature that many existing users are very pleased to see included.
Sample-based artists can use the groove or melodic/harmonic content from any recording this allows you to re-invent your entire sample library.
So why buy Ableton Live Intro then?
At £79.00 what do you actually get?
Well surprisingly still a great deal! Intro is a great title for this product as this is exactly what it is.
• Sample warping is included, Ableton analyses each sample allowing you to change the tempo of the song in real time and all the samples will follow with out changing pitch. This is a very fast way to experiment with material from different genres/tempos and have no restrictions.
• Re-Wire is included – So if you cant pull yourself away from Cubase,Reason,Logic or whatever you use, then Ableton will happily run alongside any of these programs in Slave or Master mode. Many producers use their plug-ins from Cubase or Logic but run Ableton alongside for its excellent audio and MIDI tools.
If you want to harness the full power of Ableton Live, then Suite is definitely the one for you, with over 3,000 sounds you can use all of the instruments, packs and effects and have a fully functional studio package. If you don't need all of the extra plugins and effects then Standard does have most of the technical features such as Audio to Midi, unlimited tracks etc. This is probably a good choice if you already have a good collection of 3rd party plug-ins or a vast sample library.
Intro is best for beginners or those already loyal to another DAW, the good thing here is that you can always upgrade and unlock the other features when you are ready.
Hope that makes things a little clearer! Look out for more Ableton Live 9 videos soon on the Scan Pro Audio You Tube channel.

Stoke City boss labels Norwich striker best in the Championship
Graham Smeaton
According to the Eastern Daily Press' Paddy Davitt, beaten Stoke City boss Michael O'Neill was full of praise for the man who played a large part in handing his Potters a 3-2 defeat. That man was Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki who scored two of the Canaries goals in their recent encounter.
Top Championship marksman
That brace of goals took Finland international Pukki to 8 for the campaign with him featuring in just 10 of Norwich's games since their demotion from the Premier League. At this rate, it looks like another goal-laden haul for the likeable striker to match his 29 goals in Norwich's last Championship season.
O'Neill commented on this adding: "We played against probably the best striker in the league in Teemu Pukki and we struggled to deal with him. The quality of his movement, the quality of his finishing."
Transfer bargain paying off
In a market where strikers are usually traded in £multi-million deals, it is somewhat refreshing to know that Pukki arrived at Carrow Road on a free transfer from Danish side Brondby in the summer of 2018.
His worth to Norwich City since arriving in Norfolk is clear to see. His 97 games for the club have seen him notch up 48 goals and 14 assists and this includes a respectable 11 goals and 3 assists in last season's doomed Premier League campaign.
Norwich quality clear to see
Former Northern Ireland boss O'Neill was also quick to praise the Norwich side of which Pukki is such a lethal spearhead. Commenting directly on how Stoke were torn apart by a combination of Pukki and Emi Buendia, the Potters boss added:
"We played against a very good team and you can see why they are at the top of the league. I thought in that first half Norwich were excellent. No doubt about that. We struggled with their movement, we struggled with their quality."
Onwards and upwards for O'Neill and Stoke
Stoke manager O'Neill knows that the Potters have to put the 3-2 loss to a Pukki-inspired Canaries behind them. They need to look forwards rather than backwards as they look to move upwards.
O'Neill added:
"The most important thing we have to take is we have to be better in the opening part of a game. But give credit to the opposition. I believe they are the best team we have played this season."
Stoke City's next game is a trip to South Yorkshire to face Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday – a game Michael O'Neill will be hoping yields three points.
Will it be a successful or disappointing season for Michael O'Neill and Stoke City?
They'll do well.
They'll underperform.

Pavitra Rajaram uses vivid colour and visual metaphors to revitalise The Asian Paints Technology Centre.
The Asian Paints Technology Centre is at the centre of developments at this trail blazing company, so when we received a brief to give the space a facelift we were very excited, we knew instinctively that this was a story that we wanted to share.
The design idea took off from Asian Paints essential DNA—the notion that technology is at the heart of innovation at Asian Paints. This standpoint is at the root of the Asian Paints brand and is what makes it fundamentally strong. The idea of this core DNA is powerful, as is the manner in which it sweeps through the landscape.
A kaleidoscope of colour upon high-rise buildings gives rise to a leaping figure that transforms the front facade with a band of vibrancy and energy. This colour seeps into the building where new textures and finishes are exhibited on a large-scale installation of a DNA molecule. The splashes of vibrancy on the walls of the main foyer lead us to the conference room where the history of Asian Paints is unfolded in a wall collateral.
The main porch also has an interesting installation: a web of DNA molecules linked together to make a giant screen, constructed out of the lids of Asian Paints paint cans in the signature brand colours.
Small details, such as the security cabin and the curbstone pathway are all integrated into the design of this space and make it stand out like a beacon in the overall landscape. The coffee tables in the reception hall too, fit in with this theme of DNA structure. The various hexagons exhibit the newest in the company's fast growing wood finishes range.
The overall feeling is one of energy, exuberance and innovation; key attributes of this dynamic space that is the core of Asian Paints.

Have you recently retired from your working life only to find that you could use some extra retirement income?
Many new retirees have trouble adjusting to their new lifestyle, and it's often caused by a sudden drop in income.
Even folks who took steps to prepare for their retirement can face financial difficulties after they stop receiving a regular paycheck from an employer.
There are many ways for retirees to supplement their retirement income, but one of the best just might be something you've never even considered: Writing a blog!
I know you're probably thinking that you could never be a blogger, but I hope you'll hear me out because it isn't nearly as hard as you probably think it is.
First of all, you don't have to be a great writer to write an effective blog. My own writing skills (or lack thereof) prove that!
Truth be told, all you really need in order to write a successful blog and earn money from it is the desire to do it and expertise in some area of life that others could benefit from.
For example, do you have lots of experience in your former career field that could help younger workers who are just getting started in that field? If so, you can write about them.
Or perhaps you have strong opinions about politics, religion or some other aspect of life that you'd love to share with like-minded people (and those who might even disagree)?
Regardless of what your background and life experiences might be, chances are there are thousands (and perhaps millions) of people in this Internet-connected world who would love to hear what you have to say.
Of course you're probably wondering just how you can earn money by writing a blog. That IS the topic of this post after all!
There are several ways to earn a supplemental income by blogging, but the one I like best is earning affiliate commissions from the sales of products and services you like, use and recommend.
Don't worry, you don't have to do any "selling" to succeed at this. Simply write your blog posts about topics that interest you, then provide affiliate links to products that you mention in your posts.
Linking to a sales page for a product that solves a problem you just wrote about is a great way to earn a commission that can be anywhere from a few cents to hundreds of dollars. And like I said earlier, you won't have to "sell" a thing. Your blog post will do the "selling" for you!
Lets say you're a retired automobile technician who is interested in blogging about about auto maintenance and repair. You could write a blog post about the benefits of doing your own oil changes, with instructions (and maybe even a short video) explaining how to do them correctly and safely.
Somewhere in the post you could mention the tools and equipment you prefer to use when doing an oil change, then provide affiliate links to those products right in the post!
The reader won't perceive that you're trying to "sell" them something, because you aren't. You're simply explaining how to perform a useful task and describing the tools and materials that you use to get the job done.
The folks who read your post will appreciate you taking the time to explain how to do their own change changes and telling them exactly what they can purchase to do it.
Say you're a retired chef. You could write about preparing your favorite crowd-pleasing recipes, and in the course of writing the post you could mention the cookware and utensils used to make the dish. And you'll actually be doing your readers a favor by linking to the products you mention (with your income-generating affiliate links of course)!
I could go on and on about the many ways you could earn money as a blogger, but I think you probably have a good idea by now.
Just be aware that while blogging can be fun (I happen to love it!), it does require some work in the form of research (you know how to use Google, right?). But the rewards can vastly outweigh the effort if you go into it with a positive attitude and a desire to succeed.
Of course how much you end up making will depend on what you choose to write about and promote with your affiliate links, but if you really work at it you can easily be earning a decent supplemental income as a blogger in just a few short months.
If you decide that you'd like to give blogging a try, you can get started on a proverbial shoestring. In fact, this post explains how to start your very own WordPress blog for only $1 up front. What a deal!
Bottom line: If you find yourself in need of some extra income for your retirement needs, blogging is a great way to earn it without having to re-enter the workforce!

Irish Traditions: Midnight Drummer's Circle

One of the best things about Notre Dame football traditions is that they happen at all times of the day – and night. In fact, one of the biggest events, and a huge fan favorite, occurs at midnight — The Midnight Drummer's Circle.
At a time when you'd think most visitors to campus would be back in their hotels preparing for game day, the campus is actually teeming with activity. On the Friday night before home games, students and fans alike gather at the bottom of the steps under the Golden Dome and wait for the drummers to arrive. After the bells of the Basilica chime the midnight hour, the drumline arrives and forms a circle within the middle of the crowd, marking the official beginning of game day.
Once in place, the drummers play for the crowd for forty-five minutes, playing the drum cadences that will be played in Notre Dame Stadium during the football game. These include most of the offensive, defensive, and sideline cheers that the band plays throughout the game. They also play the major fan favorites, the Notre Dame Fight Song and the Rakes of Mallow, which often leads to impromptu jigging from the adoring crowd.
The Midnight Drummer's Circle, like Trumpets Under the Dome, is a fairly recent tradition. It originated in 2000 by members of the Notre Dame Drumline. "The idea of having it at midnight is that it would be recognized as the official kickoff to game day," says assistant band director, Sam Sanchez. (Excerpt from UND.com )

Notre Dame Marches on to Victory
Tommy Rees celebrates in the end zone with Notre Dame wide receiver Robby Toma after scoring a touchdown against Michigan during the first half. (Nuccio DiNuzzo, Chicago Tribune)
Who would have ever guessed that Notre Dame would be 4-0 to start the season, with signature wins over both Michigan State and Michigan? The Notre Dame defense was unstoppable yesterday, intercepting four of Denard Robinson's passes and keeping yet another team from the state of Michigan from scoring a touchdown. They came out on top, for a fourth straight week, beating Michigan by a score of 13-6 on Saturday.
On a day that was supposed to be a Heisman spotlight day for Denard Robinson, he issued an apology to Michigan fans following the game. "I want to say sorry to everyone who watches Michigan football and follows Michigan football," Robinson said. "It won't happen no more. I'm going to be accountable for the rest of the season. I don't want to feel like this no more. In the 22 years I've been living, this is the most disappointed I've ever been in myself." Quite a disappointing day for Robinson, who was also celebrating a birthday yesterday.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke said he never once considered pulling Robinson from the game. "The guy has done a pretty doggone good job being a quarterback at Michigan and made some good throws in the first half," Hoke said. "You know, just better decision making and move forward."
Robinson finished 13-of-24 passing for 138 yards and also rushed for 90 yards on 26 carries.
Notre Dame finished the first half with a 10-0 lead, despite having their own share of bad passes and penalties.
Everett Golson had a rough start on Saturday, and was replaced by Tommy Rees in the middle of the second quarter after throwing two interceptions, one in each quarter. Golson, had his worst start of the year, completing only 3-8 for 30 yards.
Tommy Rees delivered immediate results upon entering the game, driving the team 48 yards, completing 3 of 4 passes in his initial drive, before running in for a 2-yard touchdown increasing the Irish to 10-0. Tommy Rees finished the day 8-11 for 115 yards, leading the Irish to their first win over Michigan since 2008.

Notre Dame - Michigan Game Preview
Gregory Shamus, Getty Images
I never imagined Notre Dame would be sitting 3-0 headed into the Michigan game, but they most certainly are undefeated headed into this game!
This Saturday evening's matchup of No. 11 Notre Dame and No. 18 Michigan will be a fight to the finish for sure. It marks the 40th installment of the storied rivalry, which the Wolverines lead 23-15-1 all-time.
The Fighting Irish are out for revenge this year, after losing to the Wolverines in heartbreaking fashion in the Big House last year by a score of 35-31. Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson was unstoppable and led the Wolverines to a 28-point fourth-quarter comeback victory, after they trailed 24-7 entering the fourth quarter.
Last weekend, for the first time since October of 1983, Notre Dame defeated a Top 10 team during a night road game. The Irish defeated the Michigan State Spartan's in East Lansing by a score of 20-3, with the Spartans' only score coming on a 50-yard field goal late in the second quarter.
The Notre Dame defense dominated the Spartans and prevented Michigan State from entering the red zone for a full 60 minutes. The following detail is even more shocking ... the Irish defense limited the Spartans to only one snap past the 50-yard line during the second half. Here come the Irish indeed.
Irish Traditions: Trumpets Under the Dome
This is my new series for UHND.com featuring the background on some of the most storied Notre Dame traditions. Some will be well-known fan-favorites, and others will seem a little more obscure. For all of them though, there is great Notre Dame history involved, and I look forward to helping share that history; I hope you enjoy it!
My first installment will feature the tradition of – "Trumpets Under the Dome." At first I felt like I must have been a pretty bad fan as a student to have missed this, because this tradition wasn't ringing a bell to me at all during my initial discovery of it. However, I later learned that the tradition didn't start until the fall after I graduated. I felt so much better after that revelation! But without further ado, here's the history behind "Trumpets Under the Dome."
November 12, 1993 was the Friday night before the highly anticipated "Game of the Century" — a game which matched up #1 Florida State and #2 Notre Dame. That night, a small group of trumpet players informally gathered outside the Administration Building and together the ensemble decided to play the Alma Mater and the Fight Song. The next day Notre Dame won, which of course had nothing to do with the trumpet players playing the night before, but don't tell that to the trumpet players – that night a tradition was born. Like all great traditions that begin as superstitions, the band members insisted that it was good luck and must continue. The following year, the trumpets continued to gather under the Dome and play the Alma Mater and the Fight Song on home football game weekends.

Notre Dame Fans To Wear Leis
(Story by Tyler Moorehead)
Manti Te'o is every bit of the "Notre Dame Man" that Irish fans always speak of. A world-class individual, Manti has always been known for his gracious and humble attitude, his hard work in the classroom as well as on the field, and his tremendous leadership abilities.
Manti was a Preseason First Team All-American, and is a legitimate Heisman candidate on the defensive side of the ball. He has been named one of the four team captains for the 2012 season, but there is no doubt that he is the true heart and soul of the Fighting Irish.
Last week, Manti battled through an incredibly trying and difficult experience, when both his grandmother and his girlfriend passed away in a 24-hour period. While Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick told Manti to take all the time he needed, Te'o insisted that he needed to be with his Notre Dame family and brothers on the team to get through this. Manti then played well with 12 total tackles in a dominating road win at Michigan State, but the fact that he played and was out there for his teammates at all was the most impressive thing.
As a sign of appreciation, loyalty, and utmost respect, Irish fans are going to make Saturday's game versus Michigan a special one for Manti. All Notre Dame fans are encouraged to buy and wear leis, which represent Te'o's upbringing in Hawaii.
In addition, when Manti comes out on the field for the coin toss, the stadium is expecting to raise up five fingers to support #Raise5for5, recognizing Te'o's jersey number.
This is a fantastic gesture from all of the Irish faithful, and something I will be proud to be a part of on Saturday.
Update: Leprechaun Legion, the student body organization dedicated to Irish athletics, will be handing out 7,500 leis to students at the Pep Rally on Friday!
Update 2: Other organizations are getting in on this too now – WSBT Radio and Budweiser will be handing over 10,000 more leis at the game. Wow!

Where Are They Now? Pete Bercich
Pete Bercich, the son of a former NFL player, had one dream as a kid growing up in Joliet, Ill. – to fly fighter planes for the Air Force. A successful high school football career at Providence Catholic High School prompted him to reevaluate his plans. After being recruited by many of the best collegiate football, he decided to play football at Notre Dame before going on to play seven more seasons in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. Bercich now lives in Minnesota with his wife Amy and three children, ages 12, 10, and 8. One of his current interests is radio broadcasting and he will be part of the Minnesota Vikings broadcast team this season. Here is a look back with Pete Bercich.
Q: You have said that your first love was baseball. What made you decide to play football at the collegiate level?
A: "Baseball was what I loved to do, but then I realized in high school that mentally it was not what I wanted to do. It did not suit me. Baseball is all about dealing with failure. Effort means a lot, but it does not mean as much in baseball as it does in football. How I dealt with failure (in both baseball and football) was getting pissed off. I didn't deal with failure well at all. In football, if you work hard, you will probably have success. I also learned that it was much easier to take out my frustrations in football, than it was in baseball."
"At the end of my sophomore year in high school I realized I could play with the seniors and hold my own. We won state that year, and I felt like I was definitely part of the turning point of that team. During junior year letters started showing up from big schools … Miami, Southern Cal, Michigan, Penn State. My father played in the NFL. He played on the original Dallas Cowboy team, and both my parents went to Michigan State. My Dad never talked about football, though. He maybe had one football picture in the house. I think that took a lot of pressure off me."
"One thing I will say about high school football, your high school teammates are the friends you will keep all your life. In college, you may keep a friend or two. If you play in the NFL, you may keep one or two there as well. Your high school playing days are your glory days. They stay with you with you forever."

Down Go the "Little Giants"

Down go the "Little Giants."
All that I could see today, all day, was that "Little Giants" play from two years ago. And with a heavy heart for a struggling Manti Te'o, I waited all day for this game to start. But Te'o and company surely did not disappoint Notre Dame nation today.
Notre Dame and Michigan State both entered this game 2-0. Both teams with young quarterbacks at the helm. Irish fans wondered if their offense could handle the organized chaos that Michigan State's defense brings to the table. Brian Kelly and his Fighting Irish squad answered any and all the questions that were out there with a resounding ... we're back.
With this Notre Dame upset of #10 Michigan State, the Fighting Irish are now 3-0 and have snapped a six-game losing streak against ranked teams. Notre Dame is off to its best start since 2002 when Tyrone Willingham won his first eight games as head coach. The Irish opened 0-2 last year and 1-3 the season before in Kelly's debut before bouncing back to finish with eight wins.
The pressure did not seem to bother Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson this week against the Spartans. Golson threw for one touchdown and rushed for another during the first half, against a Spartan defense who had not given up any offensive touchdowns in their first two games. Golson completed 14 of 32 passes for 178 yards. Freshman Spartan quarterback Andrew Maxwell, came out fighting as well, completing 23 of 45 attempts for 187 yards, while the Irish defense held his top running back Le'Veon Bell to only 77 yards on 19 carries.

Notre Dame Football: A Fan's Guide
Headed back to Notre Dame for a football weekend this fall? I have put together a list of must see things to do when headed back to campus. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave a comment … what are your favorite things to do/places to go?
Let's start out with food. A weekend at Notre Dame typically includes food at the following two establishments … CJ's and Tippecanoe Place. CJ's is our Friday night dinner place. CJ's is known for their great pub burgers, and has been a student favorite since 1984. When I was in school, CJ's was just a hole in the wall. They recently had a fire and had to rebuild. The new CJ's is bigger and better than ever! Now we not only include CJ's in our Friday night dinner plans … but also for a little dancing on Saturday night as well, as they now have a dance floor! Go figure!
(Photo: CJ's Burgers are a staple for any successful weekend trip to South Bend for a game weekend.)
The second food stop is brunch at Tippecanoe Place. Tippecanoe Place is the former Studebaker mansion. It is one of the premiere landmarks in the heart of South Bend's historic district, and the mansion is teeming with the charm and grace of yesteryear. The gracious spirit of the past still thrives in the mansion's 40 rooms with their wealth of fine antiques, 20 gorgeous fireplaces, and hand-crafted woods. This is definitely a must see experience!
Moving on to nightlife, there are two spots that just can't be missed on a weekend to Notre Dame … The Linebacker Lounge and Corby's.

Hate State Week
(ND and MSU roll into this top 25 matchup with 2-0 records. Both teams also have an easy blowout win and a victory coming by four points or less, Photo: John Gress)
With two games behind them, the Fighting Irish are 2-0 and ranked 20th in the nation as they prepare for a Saturday road game against 10th-ranked Michigan State. After barely pulling off a win against the Purdue Boilermakers last week , there is quite a bit of concern headed into this showdown. Notre Dame leads the series with Michigan State, 46-28-1, including 18-15-1 in East Lansing. Both teams enter the match-up undefeated for the first time since 2005.
While Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly admitted in his press conference Tuesday that his team did not play its best game against Purdue, the good news is that the Irish did come out of that lackluster performance with a win. A year ago that might have been a loss, so some improvement has been shown by Kelly's squad.
Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson had flashes of brilliance last week mixed with less than stellar moments. While his overall performance against Purdue was still impressive given it was his second collegiate start (21-of-31 completions for 289 yards and one touchdown), there is still room for improvement.
After running the ball up at will against Navy (293 yards total rushing), Notre Dame's running game evaporated against Purdue with just 52 yards. Notre Dame knew that Purdue's defensive line would be significantly larger than Navy's, but that alone should not have limited the Irish rushing attack. The lack of success on the ground forced Golson to try to become more of a factor, putting unnecessary stress on a young quarterback. Kelly also hopes to get running back George Atkinson III more touches this week. The Irish faithful are also anxiously awaiting the return of running back Cierre Wood, who missed the first two games due to "violating team rules."

ACC Accepts Notre Dame as New Member
I'm not even six months into my reign as the "Biggest Fan of the Big East" conference … and it looks like my conference alignments are already changing.
This morning the University of Notre Dame and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) announced that Notre Dame will be the 15th member of their league.
The Irish will compete as full members of the ACC in all sports, with the one exception being football. Notre Dame football, as part of the deal, will play five games annually against ACC opponents.
"We are committed to keeping the Atlantic Coast Conference a vibrant and competitive league dedicated to ensuring the appropriate balance of academics, athletics and integrity," said the ACC Council of Presidents in a joint statement. "The addition of Notre Dame further strengthens the rich tradition and culture of the ACC as well as allowing for future academic collaboration and we enthusiastically welcome them into the league."
Notre Dame had the following response this morning. "The ACC is composed of some of the most highly respected universities in the country, and we at Notre Dame look forward to joining them," said Notre Dame president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.
"We have monitored the changing conference landscape for many months and have concluded that moving to the ACC is the best course of action for us," said Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame Vice President and Director of Athletics. "We are able to maintain our historic independence in football, join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package, and provide a new and extremely competitive home for our other sports."
The exact timeline for Notre Dame's entrance into the conference is not set in stone yet. Big East Conference bylaws state a program must wait 27 months between announcing a departure and actually leaving. However, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, TCU and West Virginia have all left or will leave the Big East before that waiting period, which may influence Notre Dame's time table.
One other notable tidbit in the ND/ACC press release … "In addition to extending an invitation to Notre Dame, the Council of Presidents voted to increase the conference exit fees to three times the annual operating budget. Currently this would equate to an exit fee of over $50 million."
Whoa … that's quite a stiff penalty. I guess Clemson, Florida State and Miami may be staying put after all.
The move to the ACC seems to be a good one for the Fighting Irish. Football will benefit by playing the likes of Florida State University, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech and long time foe Boston College. Basketball will also benefit by adding Duke and the University of Notre Carolina as conference foes, as well as familiar (former Big East) names such as Pittsburgh and Syracuse.
There are already rumors that Purdue, the University of Michigan, and Michigan State University will no longer play Notre Dame in football with the new conference alignment, which would be quite a shame. I guess only time will tell how this will truly shake out.
Here come the Irish ...
As we all go through our hectic day today, let us stop for just a moment.
Remember those we lost.
Pray for those still fighting to protect us.
Mourn those who have since given their lives in defense of our nation.
Celebrate the strength and beauty of our great American people.

Notre Dame Squeaks Out a Win Over Purdue
(Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson runs away from Purdue defenders during a NCAA college football game on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, at Notre Dame. (Photo: South Bend Tribune/JAMES BROSHER))
Well, my prediction was not correct. OK, it was not even close. But a win is still a win, even if it is a last-second kick that brings it home.
Notre Dame starting quarterback Everett Golson struggled all day against an overpowering Purdue defense. When Purdue forced the Irish to cough up the ball late in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly resumed his merry-go-round of quarterbacks and called in backup Tommy Rees to run a two-minute drill and save the 22nd-ranked Irish from suffering a loss in Week 2.
Golson, in his first start at home, finished the day completing 21-of-31 passes for 289 yards. He threw for one touchdown and ran for another, but was sacked five times and presided over a game that was riddled with errors and penalties (eight Irish penalties). He seemed to have a difficult time settling himself and never really seemed comfortable leading Notre Dame down the field. He did, however, manage to connect several long passes with such receivers as Tyler Eifert (caught passes for 22 and 25 yards) and DaVaris Daniels (a 41-yarder), to give the Irish faithful a glimpse into what could be a bright future.
In his postgame interview with Alex Flanagan, Kelly said Golson is still the starting quarterback. "Everett Golson is our starter," Kelly said. "I'll get that out of the way right now."

This week's edition of Retro Friday features the song "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
"Three Little Birds" appears on their 1977 album Exodus and was released as a single in 1980. The song reached the Top 20 in the UK, peaking at number 17. It is one of Bob Marley's most popular songs (and one of my all time favorites).
The source of Marley's inspiration for the lyrics of the song "Three Little Birds" is still disputed today. They're partly inspired by birds that Marley was fond of, that used to fly and sit next to his home. Marley's longtime friend, Tony Gilbert, was present at the time he was writing the song and says, "Bob got inspired by a lot of things around him, he observed life. I remember the three little birds. They were pretty birds, canaries, who would come by the windowsill at Hope Road."
However, three female singers, from the group I Threes, who did shows with Marley, claim it is a reference to them. I Threes member Marcia Griffiths says, "After the song was written, Bob would always refer to us as the Three Little Birds. After a show, there would be an encore, sometimes people even wanted us to go back onstage four times. Bob would still want to go back and he would say, 'What is my Three Little Birds saying?'"
I absolutely love this song. I have always been a happy person. Sunshine, music, sweet canaries singing, are all things that make me smile. A friend in college once referred to me as the "eternally happy person." That's just who I am. I always see the bright side, the silver lining ... it's what I do. This song brings me back to such a happy place. Every time I hear it, I absolutely can't help but to smile. I hope it makes you smile, too.
And here it is, for your listening pleasure, Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds."
And the lyrics ...
Don't worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: don't worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)
Singin: don't worry bout a thing,
Singin: don't worry (dont worry) bout a thing,
Sayin, this is my message to you-ou-ou:
Singin: don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. dont worry!
Singin: don't worry about a thing - I wont worry!
Notre Dame – Purdue Preview

Notre Dame came out of the gate quickly against Navy last weekend, jumping to No. 22 in the AP poll after a 50-10 victory over the Midshipmen in Dublin, Ireland. However, Purdue is not to be easily dismissed.
While the trip home from Ireland is a concern weighing on some people's minds, Irish coach Brian Kelly seems to have a good plan for keeping his players rested while also preparing them for their next opponent.
"I think everybody has talked about how our team will bounce back from the trip to Ireland," Kelly told reporters at his Tuesday news conference. "We had a great shakeout yesterday. Our guys had good energy and today we'll have a full two-hour practice. ... My own eyes, talking to our players, no excuses."
Notre Dame and Purdue have met a total of 83 times, with Purdue trailing in the series 55-26-2. The Boilermakers are still an in-state rival, there are bragging rights involved and each meeting between them and the Fighting Irish is emotional. Notre Dame has not lost to Purdue in South Bend since 2004.
Purdue is coming off a 48-6 thrashing of Eastern Kentucky that saw senior quarterback Robert Marve ring up 295 yards and three touchdown on 30-of-38 passing.
The Irish offense, with quarterback Everett Golson at the helm, had no problem putting points on the board last week against Navy. Notre Dame rolled up 293 yards rushing (490 yards of total offense) and averaged nearly 6 1/2 yards per carry, But it will be interesting to see how they will fare against Purdue's defense. The Midshipmen defense was a bit undersized versus Notre Dame's offense and larger, more athletic Purdue team should be a better matchup for the Irish. Notre Dame will face two top defensive lineman on Saturday in Kawann Short and Bruce Gaston.
The Irish defense proved that they could stop the run quite effectively last weekend against Navy, but looked a bit unstable when the Midshipmen broke out the passing attack at the beginning of the second half. Hopefully those mistakes can be worked out this week at practice.
Notre Dame Dominates the Midshipmen

With four players out on suspension, including a senior running back and veteran quarterback, there were a lot of questions regarding the Fighting Irish heading into this game. Coach Brian Kelly, however, had his squad prepared and focused for their opening contest against the Midshipmen of Navy.
Theo Riddick and George Atkinson III stepped-up in Cierre Wood's absence. Together, they rushed for over 200 yards and contributed four scores. Robby Toma and Tyler Eifert each scored one touchdown, while a lumbering Stephon Tuitt provided defensive points when he ran fumble all the way back for six points. Tuitt's 77 yard return is the longest fumble return since 1985, as well as the third-longest in school history. Quite impressive for the six foot six inch, 302 pound defensive end.
Sophomore quarterback Everett Golson had quite a day himself. His numbers on the day came in with 12 completions on 18 attempts, for 144 yards, and only one interception on an attempted pass to Tyler Eifert into double coverage. Golson showed Notre Dame nation that he should most definitely be a contender for the starting quarterback role.
The other shining star of this game is Notre Dame captain Manit Te'o. Te'o recovered one fumble along with intercepting Navy quarterback, Trey Miller's final pass of the game.

I swear this isn't going to turn into an all-baking-all-the-time blog, although apparently you wouldn't guess it from this month's entries. Ah well. Here is our next installment!
When there are still far too many tangelos in the fridge (from the tangelo tree), and you are pondering what to make for a weekend breakfast, you should make Orange Rolls.
They start with a basic sweet yeast dough (I used this one from King Arthur Flour), and as you are mixing it all together, toss in the zest from two tangelos.
Then while the dough is proofing, whip up a quick batch of marmalade. You do this by cutting up one tangelo (remove the seeds!) into chunks, then pulse it in a blender, then dump the ensuing glop into a pan with half a cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of tangelo juice (because you need to use those zested tangelos somehow). Then bring it to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is thick. Set that aside to cool.
Then you spread the marmalade all over the dough.
Then you roll it up and slice it into 16 pieces and arrange them in two round pans.
Don't they look pretty with the marmalade peeking out?
Then those rise for a while, and then get baked until they are just turning golden brown.
And finally, while still warm, you drizzle them with icing made from powdered sugar and tangelo juice, and then devour.
These are delicious. I admit I was skeptical about the marmalade, because I am not a fan – I usually find it too bitter. But it works wonderfully in these. There is a slight bitter note from the marmalade, but it is counteracted quite nicely by the sweetness from the dough and the icing.
Considering how prolific that tangelo tree is getting, I will definitely be making these again. Yum.
Tis the season for Holidailies.
Those look fabulous! I love to bake so I may have to try these.
They are definitely worth it!

At Last, First Lady, Aisha Buhari Returns To Abuja
By The Nigeria Voice
Aisha Buhari, Wife of Nigeria's President returned to Nigeria from London on Saturday, where she had kept a disquieting quiet for about two months, triggering an assortment of speculations and rumours from Nigerians.
She tweeted her homeward journey on Saturday night, thanking Modupe Oguntade, the wife of Nigeria's high commissioner in United Kingdom for seeing her off.
" Thank you so much madam", Aisha wrote
However, there had been speculations about her status as the nation's First Lady.
Rumour mongers claimed that President Buhari was to marry the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, as his second wife.
Though the 'wedding' never took place, many worshippers trooped to the Presidential Villa Mosque on Friday where the President went to observe the Jumat prayer with the hope of witnessing the rumoured wedding.
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, also dismissed the rumour.
Aisha left Nigeria in August for the Hajj.
She did not return home and instead stayed away in London.
The First Lady's prolonged absence at the Villa became pronounced as she did not attend public functions that she ordinarily would have attended.
She was said to have been absent during the mid-August Eid-el-Kabir celebration in Daura, Katsina State, even though her husband was around to welcome world leaders such as the President of Guinea, Alpha Conde.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Administration, Dr Hajo Sani, had reportedly been representing the First Lady on a number of occasions of recent, including an event of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development, which held on September 25, 2019 on the sidelines of the 74th United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States.
Aisha had publicly raised issues with her husband's administration, including stating that persons who did not contribute to her husband's election victory were calling the shots at the Presidency.
She had also canvassed more roles for women in government, specifically asking the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that more women and card-carrying members of the party were given prominent positions in the government after Buhari won a re-election in February.
The President's wife had also criticised some of the administration's policies, including the N500bn Social Investment Programme, which she said had failed "woefully" in the North in particular.
Aisha, who hails from Adamawa State, had noted in May 2019 that the situation in her home state, as far as the implementation was concerned, was pathetic.


Mindfulness based therapy is an evidence based therapy which aims to get past our tendency to be so busy that we are not really aware or present in the here and now of our everyday lives. It helps to reconnect us with ourselves and has been found to lower depression, stress and anxiety levels. It can help us to become more aware of ourselves both mentally and physically. It is a way of noticing what is happening right now in our present and in so doing it can help us reduce negative habits of thinking and behaviour which have become automatic.
It includes use of meditation and meditational movement. It is often used in conjunction with other more structured therapies and can be helpful for pain and addictions. The Mental Health Foundation reports that Mindfulness based stress reduction can improve sleep, reduce anxiety and doctor visits and that the results are found to continue to last after treatment has stopped.


My photography skills, or more accurately, the lack thereof, have always been something I'd like to work on, and yet, I never seem to find the time. Last year, I took a photography course aptly named 'Get Off Auto' with Going Digital, which was hugely helpful in getting me… well, off auto. Since then, my skills have stagnated somewhat, but I still love taking my camera out, especially when I'm travelling. Whenever I'm in London though, routine takes over and photography takes a back seat, so when I saw that the Worldwide Photowalk was happening in Central London last month, I decided to sign up, even though it started at 10am on a Saturday!
How do you hone your photography skills? Any tips for an amateur photographer?

Q: Search button not working in instant search with jQuery I have tried instant search using jQuery. It is working fine until I click the search button. When I click the search button the page will reload and the results would disappear.
Here's my code:
search.php

    <form action="search.php" method="POST">
        <input type="text" name="key" id="key" placeholder="search" onkeydown="searchIt();"></input>
        <input type="submit" name="search" id="search" value="search"></input>
    </form>

And the script is:

query.php
if(isset($_POST['index'])){
$key = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['index']);
$key = trim($key);
$result = "";
if(!empty($key)){
    $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name LIKE '%$key%' OR  last_name LIKE '%$key%'";
    $query_run = mysqli_query($con, $query);
    $row_count = mysqli_num_rows($query_run);

    if($row_count == 0){
        $result = "No results!!!";
    }else{
         while($query_row = mysqli_fetch_array($query_run)){
            $fname = $query_row['first_name'];
            $lname = $query_row['last_name'];
            $name = $fname.' '.$lname;

            $mail = $query_row['email_id'];
            $id = $query_row['emp_id'];

            $result .="

$name

$mail

";
        }
    }
  }else{
    $result = 'please enter a word';
}
}
echo ($result);

Until this everthing is working fine, but when I try to click search button the results would disappear.
I tried adding this in the script:
 $(document).ready(function(){
        $("input[name='search']").click(searchIt());
});

But there is no change. Please help me with this.

A: This should work:
 $(document).ready(function(){
     $('body').on('click', 'input[name="search"]', function(event)
     {
            event.preventDefault(); // This is important, since you are interacting with a valid html form/element
            searchIt();
     });
});

Update:
I've made a codepen for you. Look at it, it works perfectly fine:
http://codepen.io/dschu/pen/VmRJPZ

A: The reason is button of type "submit" effectively submits the page to form URL, which is the same page, thus has the same effect, as reloading, - here is your "reset" behaviour. Besides solution above you can also change input type from submit to button, which will avoid submitting the form (and manually preventing the event).

Q: Removing properties of an object in List<> I'm listening to "push" notifications coming into my server. I've set up SubscriptionModel with all possible properties, and I can correctly iterate through the JSON body coming through, parse each Subscription, and modify the output before returning the list I created.  However, I'd like to know how I might go about removing properties of SubscriptionModel when I don't need to return them at all; or removing them if they're null before responding back with List<SubscriptionModel> subscriptions.
namespace TextMessagingListener.Controllers
{
    public class SubscriptionModel
    {
        public long push_id { get; set; }
        public string request_id { get; set; }
        public string subscription_id { get; set; }
        public string message { get; set; }
        public string status_code { get; set; }
        public string error_message { get; set; }
    }

    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    public class SubscriptionController : Controller
    {
        // PUT api/subscription
        [HttpPut]
        public List<SubscriptionModel> Put([FromBody] List<SubscriptionModel> model)
        {
            // Receive a report of whether your subscription(s) was successfully added or not.
            List<SubscriptionModel> subscriptions = new List<SubscriptionModel>();

            foreach (SubscriptionModel m in model)
            {
                m.message = "Push notification successfully received.";
                subscriptions.Add(m);
            }

            return subscriptions;
        }
    }
}

The only solution I can think of is to create another object which will just be for returning information; and applying each subscriptions item I want to send on to that.

A: You can't. You'd need another class. A "light" version that contains just the properties. Or you could do an anonymous type, but that is difficult to work with. I agree with the other guy on your naming conventions though :).

Arrested #Saudi tycoon faces fraud claim in English courts
Saudi billionaire Maan Al-Sanea is accused in the English courts of a $650m (£495m) fraud that has triggered a battle between hedge funds and the French bank BNP Paribas. He was arrested by Saudi authorities in October on charges of evading justice and owing large sums of money to creditors. Maan's Saad Group collapsed in 2009, triggering a long battle to recover billions he had shipped offshore to the Cayman Islands. The High Court trial concerns the arrangement of a $650m sukuk, which was paid to Mr Maan personally to lease land he owned. Judgment in a separate claim brought by the hedge funds against him is due on Thursday. Subsequent arrests of prominent Saudi businessmen sparked debate over whether the moves represent consolidation of power or a genuine crackdown on corruption.

Robin Hood Coop, an Activist Hedge Fund
Now here is an improbable idea:an activist hedge fund.Out of Tampere, Finland, comes the Robin Hood Asset Management Coop, which legally speaking, is an investment cooperative. It is designed to skim the cream off of frothy investments in the stock market to help support commoners. As the website for the coop describe it:
We use financial technologies to democratize finance, expand financial inclusion and generate new economic space.Robin Hood's proposition is no different than it was 600 years ago in Sherwood: arbitrage the routes of wealth and distribute the loot as shared resources. Today we just use different methods to achieve the same:we analyze big data, write algorithms, deploy web-based technologies and engineer financial instruments to create and distribute surplus profits for all. Why? Simply, we believe a more equitable world is a better one.

Yale Grad Trusts in Bank of Baghdad to Help Deliver Returns
According to Grant Felgenhauer, a portfolio manager at Euphrates Iraq Fund, the opportunities offered by Iraqi equities overshadow anything else in the world today. Felgenhauer returned 28 percent last year with bets on Iraqi shares such as Bank of Baghdad, compared with a 9.5 percent decline for Iraq's ISX General Index. That helped make New York-based Euphrates the fourth-best performing emerging-market fund managing more than $50 million in 2013. Iraq is drawing investors from specialized hedge funds to global banks including Citigroup and Standard Chartered as the oil-rich nation rebuilds 11 years after the U.S.-led invasion. The economy will expand 6.3 percent this year and crude production is estimated to rise to 9 million barrels a day by 2020.

Indonesia plans to let Shariah-compliant banks hedge against exchange-rate movements. This way, the growth in Islamic financial assets will be stimulated and the gap with Malaysia's industry will be narrowed. The instruments, available in Malaysia since 2006, have been approved by the Bank Indonesia, the National Shariah Board and the Indonesia Institute of Accountants. As a result of hedging, Bank Muamalat Indonesia will be able to hold more global bonds and issue more dollar loans.

Arcapita Bank Wins Permission to Manage Cash, Pay Wages
Arcapita Bank BSC was given permission to use cash within a budget and pay employees in bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in Manhattan certified Arcapita's requests on an interim basis to escape "irreparable harm" being done to the company.
Arcapita was forced to search bankruptcy after hedge funds, including Euroville, derailed restructuring talks on its $1.1 billion loan due in March.

With the University of Leipzig, the Institute for European Global Studies can already list its fifth international cooperation. The recently signed agreement with the Global and European Studies Institute GESI allows students of the Master's program in European Global Studies to spend an exchange semester in the historically important city in eastern Germany.
The University of Leipzig is one of the oldest German Universities with a continuous teaching tradition since 1409. The GESI was founded in 2008 as a part of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Philosophy, aiming at teaching and research at the crossroads of several disciplines. Its research interests are similar to the ones of the Institute for European Global Studies with a focus on Europe in its global context. The GESI offers three Master's programs: MA in European Studies, MA in Global Studies and MA in Global Studies: Peace and Security in Africa.
As from now, students of the Institute for European and Global Studies may plan their stay at the University of Leipzig. The course coordination assists in providing more information about exchange semesters.
