Facebook knows a lot about you. And so do the third-party app makers and partners in the social network's ecosystem.
This month, a whistleblower revealed data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica harvested private data from 50 million Facebook profiles to understand voter behavior amidst the 2016 US Presidential election.
Facebook user data was accessed -- without explicit user permission -- by Cambridge Analytica to help Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. It was collected by a stealthy personality prediction Facebook app called "thisisyourdigitallife." Personal data accessed from Facebook users included profile names, locations, and information on their friends and the content they liked.
Facebook apps can bleed your information without you knowing. In wake of the scandal, it's important to know which apps have access to your personal data and make the appropriate privacy changes to your account. Facebook has rolled out new settings to appease users after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Here's what you need to know.
Facebook's App Settings page is one of the social network's most important privacy destinations.
App Settings displays Facebook apps that are connected to your Facebook account. Here, you can see what data you provide apps and disable sharing select info. You can also remove the app completely from your Facebook account. Yes, even the FarmVille app you downloaded three years ago.
Adjust Facebook app settings for more privacy control.
Web: Click or tap the downward-facing triangle to launch a drop-down menu at the top right of Facebook.com, then select Settings, and click or tap Apps.
Android: Tap the three-line button at the top right of the Facebook app. Here you select Account settings and then Apps.
In iOS: Tap the three-line button (bottom right of Facebook's app), then select Settings, and go to Account Settings. Finally, select Apps.
It's probably wise to unlink any Facebook apps from your account you no longer use. Remember, Cambridge Analytica's app was legitimate on the surface. Apps have access to your friend list and any information your friends choose to make public -- don't be fooled.
Using Platform allows you to bring your Facebook experience to the other apps and websites you use on the web and to your mobile device and apps. It allows Facebook to receive information about your use of third party apps and websites to provide you with better and more customized experiences.
Facebook's App Settings also lets users control app visibility, so you can adjust if your friends can see if you use an app or not.
Instead of cherry picking and disabling Facebook apps, you can completely disable the Facebook app platform. This means you won't be able to use Facebook integrations on third party apps or websites who access data through OAuth. Theoretically, you won't be sharing as much data with prying eyes.
"If you don't want apps and websites to access other categories of information (like your friend list, gender or info you've made public), you can turn off all Platform apps. But remember, you will not be able to use any games or apps yourself," Facebook writes in a support document.
You can turn Platform off by going to App Settings, then edit Apps, Websites and Plugins.
You will not be able to log into mobile games or applications using Facebook.
Apps you've previously installed may still have info you shared. Facebook says you should contact apps for details on removing this data.
You can also disable those annoying Game and App notifications from your friends under App Settings.
Click Edit below Apps Others Use.
Click to check the boxes next to the info you want your friends to see about you in the apps they use and click Save.
A new setting Facebook rolled out, called Access Your Information, lets users access and delete their posts, reactions, comments, and searches from their timeline or profile. It's an effort by Facebook to give users more control over what's posted on the social network.
Facebook said the new setting was already in the works before the Cambridge Analytica scandal. "You can download a secure copy and even move it to another service," Facebook said.
While Facebook previously allowed users to download data and information uploaded, a new option sorts the download into several categories including posts, photos and videos, messages, groups, following, followers, and more.
Also new from Facebook is a Privacy Shortcuts menu to give users easier access to data controls.
Comparison of the old settings menu (left) and new settings menu (right).
Here, you can make your account more secure with settings like two-factor authentication, control personal information, control advertisement information, profile privacy, and more.
Facebook's Security and Login settings page shows you the location where your Facebook account is logged in and from which device. It also allows users to change their password, log in with a profile picture instead of password, enable/disable two factor authentication, encrypted email notifications, and more.
The Privacy settings page shows who can see your Facebook profile information, including posts you've made or you're tagged in, friend requests, friends list, email, phone number, and search engine enable/disable.
You can also check Facebook mobile app permission details including storage access, camera, whether the microphone can record audio or not, phone status, approximate location (network-based), and your precise location (GPS and network-based).
Lastly, it's important to remember to clear your web browser cookies. This will allow you to send less data to Facebook to use in advertisements on yourself.
We'll be tracking the latest.

Given the recent wave of news and attention I figured that people should probably know about this manga. The property got kind of famous among, I guess you could say, a fringe group of Noitamina fans years ago and I plan on doing a proper review of the anime, but since I have it, I want to talk about this manga and it's depiction of learning to perform another self within private and public institutions.
This episode is also different, especially from the LoGH episodes, I didn't follow a script even though I wrote one out, so it may seem a lot less prepared than other episodes.
You're always well spoken with your reviews. Love hearing you talk about these things I'm interested in.
I've been wanting to check Wandering Son out for a while. I've had people recommend me this a few times.

Joseph's 'The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.,' Channing Godfrey Peoples Set to Direct Pilot Episode and Serve as Co-Executive Producer, Joining Executive Producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard and Showrunners Raphael Jackson Jr. and Damione Macedon
From 20th Television, Imagine Television and Undisputed Cinema, Production to Begin October 2022 in Atlanta
September 28, 2022 08:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Disney+ and National Geographic announced today the following casting of the Original Series "Genius: MLK/X," produced by 20th Television, Imagine Television and Undisputed Cinema: Kelvin Harrison Jr. ("The Trial of the Chicago 7") as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Aaron Pierre ("The Underground Railroad") as Malcolm X, Weruche Opia ("I May Destroy You") as Coretta Scott King, and Jayme Lawson ("The Batman") as Betty Shabazz. Principal photography will begin in October 2022 in Atlanta.
"We are beyond excited to have put together the incredible foursome of Kelvin, Aaron, Jayme and Weruche to bring the depth, complexity, and humanity to these indelible icons," said the Bythewoods. "They are all next level in their chops and their passion to tell this story."
As previously announced, in a first for the franchise, the new season of the Emmy® Award-winning anthology series will focus on two iconic geniuses: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. "Genius: MLK/X" will explore the formative years, pioneering accomplishments, dueling philosophies and key personal relationships of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Harrison Jr.) and Malcolm X (Pierre). While King advanced racial equality through nonviolent protest, Malcolm X argued forcefully for Black empowerment, identity and self-determination. With their formidable wives, Coretta Scott King (Opia) and Betty Shabazz (Lawson), by their sides, King and Malcolm X became synonymous with the civil rights era and the fight for racial and economic justice. While they met only once and often challenged each other's views, neither would have been as successful without the other.
In addition to today's casting news, executive producers Reggie Rock Bythewood and Gina Prince-Bythewood announced a think tank of renowned historians and experts serving as production consultants prior to the start of the writer's room to guide the production, including the following (in alphabetical order):
Jamal Joseph ("Panther Baby: A Life of Rebellion and Reinvention"), formerly a member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army, is a writer, director and professor of professional practice at Columbia University School of the Arts in the film department.
Peniel E. Joseph is a writer whose book, "The Sword and The Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.," serves as inspiration for the series and also serves as a series consultant.
Michele Norris is a columnist and consultant for Post Opinions and founding director of Peabody Award-winning The Race Card Project.
Dr. Kameelah Rashad is the founder and president of the Muslim Wellness Foundation (MWF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting healing and emotional well-being in the American Muslim community.
Dr. Barbara Reynolds is an award-winning journalist, author and minister who penned several books, including "Jesse Jackson, America's David" and "No, I Won't Shut Up: 30 Years of Telling It Like It Is," with a foreword by Coretta Scott King.
Ambassador Shabazz, producer, writer, diplomat and eldest daughter of Dr. Betty Shabazz and Malcolm X Shabazz, also serves as consulting producer for the series.
Jeff Stetson, whose play "The Meeting" serves as inspiration for the series, is an internationally acclaimed award-winning playwright and screenwriter for film and television. He also serves as an executive producer on the series.
Jeanne Theoharis, a political science professor at City University of New York, is the author or co-author of eleven books and numerous articles on the civil rights and Black Power movements.
Pastor Michael A. Walrond, Jr., senior pastor of First Corinthian Baptist Church, received numerous honors, accolades and recognitions, including induction into Morehouse College's Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers.
"We wanted to assemble a consortium of scholars and experts who can not only lend their extensive knowledge, expertise and research but also create a space for meaningful debate and discussion to ensure an honest portrayal of the complexities of these iconic geniuses. The legacies of Martin and Malcolm are critical to our understanding of the social justice movements of today, so we had to get this right. We could not have asked for a more incredible group to guide us through their stories," added the Bythewoods.
Additionally, Channing Godfrey Peoples was named as co-executive producer and will direct the pilot episode for "Genius: MLK/X."

Date 12 April 1962
Subject(s) Distress over The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
[edit] Summary
Tolkien said that he had given every spare moment to the poems.[notes 1] He stated that he had lost all confidence in them, all judgement, and could not see them becoming a book unless Pauline Baynes was inspired by them (which he doubted).
The various items do not "collect", said Tolkien. The only possible link was the fiction of coming from the Shire from the period of The Lord of the Rings, but it was an uneasy fit for some. He had tried to make them fit better. He had added a new Bombadil poem[notes 2] that would further "integrate" Tom into the period. It also tickled what Tolkien called his pedantic fancy, echoing the Norse Niblung and taking a line straight from The Ancrene Wisse.
Tolkien thought some kind of forward might be required. He sent a sample, not intended to be used, but amusing as a piece of ridiculous editorial fiction. He hoped Rayner would not be greatly disappointed.[notes 3]
[edit] Notes
↑ This refers to the collection of sixteen poems titled The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
↑ Number two in the series, "Bombadil Goes Boating"
↑ It seems that Rayner was not disappointed; The Adventures of Tom Bombadil was published later that same year.


I can't say, as we aren't informed of the locations of all of our members. Glad to have you on board, though.
Hi Gene. Greetings from South Africa! I'm a huge fan of the show, keep up the good work! (sorry for the cliche). Any chance I'm the 1st member from South Africa that you know of?
Click on the Tech Night Owl tab in our forum, and you'll be able to check my tech commentaries and listen to the show.
Honestly, I don't know if Bigelow has anything to do with MUFON anymore. It appears to be carrying on as before.
Thanks for being a friend of the show.
Hey Gene, did it register?I know its not much, but I felt like supporting..all the best.
Gene, just edited and re-edited my post about medical scopolamine in an effort to get main ideas across without being overly graphic. IMO, the documentary is probably not much exaggerated. Scopolamine is some scary stuff.
Thanks for inviting me back.
Hi, can you help me something (sr about my english not good).
I see you do it very good. Can you help me please? It's important.
You need to post this sort of request in the XenForo forums, not here. There is an add-on to redirect vB4 posts/threads, but it sometimes takes a little tweaking to make it function.
We have had updates since Jan.
No problem. If you have some time, let me know.
Gene, I know you emailed me in the recent past about helping with computer issues. My life is a bit fragmented right now and I did not mean to disrespect you via ignoring your ask for help via email. Very sorry I could not help at the time. My best wishes to you and yours.

UN warns of heat as climate talks seek action despite Trump
By Reuters News Service November 6, 2017 November 6, 2017 2 280
File photo: Boys wade through a flooded village on the outskirts of Agartala
This year will be among the three hottest on record, the United Nations said on Monday, as almost 200 countries started talks in Germany to bolster a global climateaccord that the United States plans to quit.
Temperatures this year will be slightly less than during a record-breaking 2016 and roughly level with 2015, the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said, part of a long-term warming trend driven by greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels.
"We have witnessed extraordinary weather," said Petteri Talaas, head of the WMO, pointing to extreme events including a spate of hurricanes in the Atlantic and Caribbean, monsoon floods in Asia and drought in East Africa.
The WMO attributed the small dip from last year to the fading effects of a natural El Nino event that released extra heat from the Pacific Ocean in 2016. In terms of economic costs, 2017 will be the most costly hurricane season on record after Harvey, Irma and Maria, it added.
Delegates said sweltering temperatures and weather extremes were a spur for action at the annual conference in Bonn from Nov 6-17, which will work on a detailed rule book for the 2015 Paris climate agreement and try to step up action before 2020.
"This is our moment of truth," Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, presiding at the Bonn talks, told delegates, urging them to "lock arms with all other nations and move forward together".
Patricia Espinosa, the UN's climate chief, said "the very fabric of life on Earth is under threat" from rising temperatures. "The message cannot get any clearer. We must act right here, right now," she said.
US President Donald Trump, who doubts mainstream scientific findings that man-made greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate change, said in June he would pull out of the Paris agreement and instead promote US fossil fuels.
None of the speakers at the opening ceremony mentioned Trump by name. The meeting included a traditional Fijian warrior ceremony and children parading with models of a whale, jellyfish and polar bear to urge more action.
Children are seen during climate march prior to the opening session of the COP23 UN Climate Change Conference 2017
A UN list of delegates counts 48 Americans, mostly technical experts and many fewer than in recent years. The US delegation office in a tent village in Bonn has less space, for instance, than those for France or Italy.
A formal US pullout will take until November 2020 and delegates say there are wide uncertainties about how far Washington will balance Trump's pro-coal agenda with the conference's goals.
Fiji's chief negotiator Nazhat Shameem Khan said the US delegation had consistently signalled "a willingness for constructive engagement" in preparations for the Bonn conference.
And some developing nations, including Iran, said all rich countries were failing to do enough, especially to cut emissions before 2020.
The Paris climate agreement sets a goal of ending the fossil fuel era this century and to limit warming to "well below" two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times, ideally 1.5C.
But the United Nations says the world is on track for a temperature rise of about three degrees by 2100.
Monday's WMO report said average surface temperatures in 2017 were already about 1.1C above the pre-industrial era in data from January to September.

We first worked with Amy when we were searching for a home to purchase. We were new to the island and Amy helped us in so many ways, both in searching for a house and answering general questions about living here. Amy has extensive knowledge in local properties as well as the local culture and the best places to go!
When we put purchasing on hold, Amy was extremely helpful in finding us a short-term rental home. We viewed many properties with her and she was patient while we formed our opinions rather than being pushy and trying to sell it, a quality so important to us. She made the process easy and enjoyable and we still keep in touch. You'd be missing out if you didn't choose to work with Amy!

Hello WhiteBearLake
White Bear...
White Bear Lake Minnesota Culture
Minnesotans spend summer outdoors, exploring the northern shore of Lake Superior, boating on Lake Minnetonka, partying on Big Island and revelling in the lakes. Summer activities on the lake are often referred to as "lake life" in Minnesota, even though we enjoy 10,000 lakes a year - all year round. Especially for the Minneotan, summer activities on White Bear Lake and its adjacent lakes are a ritual of crossing, whether fishing, camping, swimming, kayaking or fishing.
For three weeks, this 50-year-old tradition turns the White Bear Lake into a huge party - Slash - Community Expo.
Creative Minnesota has developed and presented the first video series of the White Bear Lake Community Expo. The Creative Minnesota team includes artists, musicians, writers, photographers, videographers, filmmakers and more. No. 6 Interviews documenting the history of the event and its impact on the community in the past, present and future.
The White Bear Lake has two distinct features that have occupied the wealthy for more than a century. Charles P. Noyes Cottage dates back to the time when it was a resort. It was bought by Judge George Young in 1881, bought in 1905 by the J. Walter Fillebrown family, who donated it in 1970, giving it a prominent place in the winter dreams of White Bear Lake. No 5: Remote sensing of the lake to identify cultural resources in the submerged area.
Just last year, the White Bear's new downtown neighbor opened its first office building, a Minnesota-designed, versatile building. In 2018, it moved to its new location on the corner of North Avenue and North Street, just a few blocks from the lake.
If anyone is able to learn more about tennis in White Bear Lake, you can consider this site as their best resource. It is a great resource to find all the information you need about tennis, and maybe in the future it will be taken over by a company to support and develop the White Bear Lake Tennis Association.
Parents can find information on how to get involved in tennis in White Bear Lake, and there are bee resources to help people find tennis courts and places to buy tennis equipment.
The NWS was founded in 1975 in the area of the White Bear Lake and has about 300 members, who come from the entire metropolitan area. The site is designed as a community centre, a meeting place and an educational centre for the community and its members.
Last month, Creative Minnesota and Minnesota Citizens for the Arts released seventeen new studies that quantified the impact of arts and cultural events in the state of Minnesota on the lives of its residents. Nationwide, a study by the Minnesota Department of Public Health's Office of Arts and Culture found that 19 million people attend community arts and cultural events each year. The Minnesota Arts Council, Minnesota's largest arts organization, serves 835,000 people and supports more than 1,500 arts organizations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.
Ms. Althof began teaching at White Bear Lake in 2015 and teaches at Central and Sunrise Park Middle Schools, where she teaches, directs the band and conducts bands. She teaches classes for first and second graders, while she teaches classes for juniors and seniors, which take place every first Thursday of the month from 8: 30 a.m. to 12 noon. The school system in White Bears Lake has more than 1,000 students in grades 7 through 12, and nearly 28 percent of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches.
She is accompanied by her daughter Kristy, who is emotionally supporting her throughout her busy schedule, as well as her son Jacob and daughter-in-law Jessica.
He graduated from the University of Minnesota and earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Iowa State University and his master's degree in public policy and public affairs from Iowa State.
Before moving to White Bear Lake, Rockford taught at the University of Minnesota-St. Paul for four years, first as an assistant professor of political science and then as a faculty member at the School of Public Policy and Public Affairs. He merged his bachelor's and master's degrees in public policy and public affairs to his current position as director of the Center for Political Science in Iowa State.
On September 10, 1868, the Lake Superior - Mississippi Railroad officially opened an extension of White Bear Lake. In 1874, Mark Twain took White Bear Lake as a recreation area for his life on the Mississippi.
All in all, I have learned to love the quirks of Minnesota culture and am so happy to call this place home. One of the things that finally made me fall in love with the winter in Minnesota is to be outside to enjoy the cold months. It was only when I lived in Minnesota for a few years that I really appreciated how accurately Minnesota culture (and slang) was represented.

Support Artist Strong
Build Your Skill
Develop Your Unique Artist Voice
How to be An Artist
Improve Your Artspeak
Join Artist Strong Studio
I speak to artists and creatives about overcoming perfectionism, harnessing their intuition in their creative process, strategies for building their skill and developing their unique artist voice.
I also talk about the 4 artist archetypes I've uncovered in my community and how artist archetypes can inform artistic practice.
Personal stories in the service of others
I am known for my generosity when it comes to sharing both my time and the content I create. People also appreciate my ability to be direct in a non-threatening way. I'm not about fluff.
I want the people I serve to walk away with actionable strategies and the confidence to move forward with their goals.
Action-taking advice peppered with personal storytelling
Choose one of these topics or let's discuss a more tailored-to-your community conversation:
3 Huge Roadblocks to Finding Your Artistic Style (And How to Overcome Them)
In this conversation, I discuss the truths about finding or developing artist voice. It's much simpler (and harder) than many think!
The Truth about Perfectionism (and How 15 Minutes can Transform Your Art)
In this conversation, we cover the sneaky ways perfectionism holds artists back from making their best art. I share a personal story of letting go of my perfectionism and how it led to my work being exhibited at The Smithsonian. We then discuss how artists can apply these lessons to their own lives as creatives.
The Truth About Building Art Skill
In this conversation, we discuss the biggest myth holding artists back from making their best art. We then cover the 5 foundational skills to improve any and all of your art.
How to use Your Artist Archetype to Make Better Art
In this conversation, I define and explain each of the 4 Artist Archetypes. We then explore specific strategies and resources for each archetype. The purpose of using artist archetypes is to help artists aim for and reach individual artistic goals.
Attending the Sheikha Manal Young Artist Award (I was a finalist!) in Dubai
I am an artist and art educator who helps artists refine their skill and develop their unique artist voice. I do this within my community of several thousand called Artist Strong, a website averaging over 500 visits a day.
My own art is influenced by living outside of the US for nearly 10 years, living in places like Dubai, UAE, Muscat, Oman and now Ottawa, Canada. I enjoy portraiture of women, painting mandalas, and textile work.
In my early 20s I was part of a touring exhibition of artists whose work was exhibited at both The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as well as The Smithsonian. My work has been exhibited across the US and Canada as well as in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and in Muscat, Oman.
I'm currently working on a series called Anonymous Women. This mixed media artwork is inspired by portraits of women cabbies from the 1940s. I work in acrylic and other materials such as gold leaf and embroidery.
I choose actual gold leaf as a way to literally speak of their value and worth. Embroidery is another way to give these women time. It's a means to honor them and speak to the irony of being documented by a photographer but not worthy enough of documenting their names.
I work with traditionally decorative or "female" materials as another means to celebrate these unknown, unsung women.
One of these works was recently selected as a finalist in a North American-wide competition and exhibited at Centre Phi in Montreal.
The education
I studied Art and Art History at Colgate University as well as completed a masters in Educational Leadership with The George Washington University. I've taught art to all ages, from elementary school through to adulthood.
I'm currently an examiner for the International Baccalaureate Organization and I've been a juror for art exhibitions in Canada.
Before my work was exhibited, I didn't think my work was important or valuable (or even really "art") until I had a gallery showing. These negative misconceptions are part of what motivates me to serve other artists today. Our world is better when we all celebrate and embrace our desire to be creative.

Padstow, Cornwall, PL28 8RP - See on a map

The house, surrounded by 40 acres of landscaped grounds and with its ancient Deer Park, is a charming mix of Elizabethan, Strawberry Hill Gothic and Georgian eras. Each room has its own individuality from all these different ages and one of it has been spoilt by Victorian additions.

A word from the owner
Mrs Thatcher, as she was then, made an impromptu visit to the house when staying in Cornwall and Peter Prideaux-Brune answered the door. She asked if she could have a look around the house. Peter went to ask his father and was told rather abruptly 'no, not now, I'm having my lunch!' So Peter took her around and she was incredibly knowledgeable and charming.
Prideaux Place goes blue for Key Workers
An entry in the Parish Register shows that a peel of welcome was rung for the future Charles II in 1645 on his way to Pendennis Castle and family history relates that he spent a night here at Prideaux Place, a story however unproved. Also as the Prideaux family were Parliamentarians at the date it may seem unlikely. Cunningly the young Elizabeth Prideaux was married to Sir William Morice of Werrington who was Charles II's Secretary of State and arranged for the future King's return to the throne.
We have Charles II's signed Pardon forgiving the Prideaux family for their part in the Civil War and restoring all their lands and chattels. Ironically Sir Beville Grenville, the great hero of the Royalist cause, who died at the Battle of Landowne, was a close relation to the Prideaux family. Indeed, the Grenville Room here is his third, and only surviving son's Dining Room from Stowe House, Kilkhampston, the panelling, inset with paintings by Verrio and even his stone wine cooler. All moved here when the house was destroyed in 1739.
More recently HRH The Princess Royal visited Prideaux Place to attend a Save the Children reception.

If you find papers matching your topic, you may use them only as an example of work. It's interesting to see if. Realism is an approach to the study and practice of international politics.

Here are what I think are the two best examples of both theories "in action" as you say: Realism: The Cold War. A theory of international relations is a set of ideas that explains how the international system works. International relations is the discipline that is dynamic. These two approaches are used widely when it comes to decision making procedures.

The theory further states that a nation's foremost interest … It is caused because of the many differences of view in looking at the way international relations itself. Realism states that international relations should not be studied as how things should be but as how they are. I assume you mean "realpolitik" which is dealing with the world in terms of simple self interest, irrespective of ideology. While many of these characteristics can be generalized as being synonymous between the two theories, both theories make a separate distinction in what specifically constitutes an actor. 1). Unlike an ideology, a theory of international relations is (at least in principle) backed up with concrete evidence. Realism gets a lot right, which is one reason it remains international relations' foundational school of thought, at least in the United States. Start studying Realism in International Relations.

International relations. It is the exercise of power by states towards each and is also known as "power politics" or "real politik". An analysis on International Relations theory has proven that realism for a fact has some weaknesses but still I root for the theory for bringing awareness and understanding of the time we live in and also the concept of realism has being relevance in the understanding of the society and the world at large, giving an idea of how to deal with situations at hand. Realism is considered the most dominant school of thought in international relations. We can distinguish between the 'economic person', the 'religious person', the 'moral person', the 'political person' etc. Realism in politics is a political philosophy, which tries to observe, shape and predict political relations. In idealism the decisions are made using ideas.

And finally, realism becomes increasingly important, and I would say even dominant in explaining, and predicting the international relations of today, and of the near come future, because key regions of the world start to develop and have already started to develop according to the realist logic. Liberalism vs. Realism Introduction Most textbooks on the international relations (IR) characterize liberalism as one of the main theoretical schools of the IR field—typically alongside realism and perhaps some other less mainstream approaches like international society, Marxism, constructivism, or feminism. This presentation introduces the International Relations Theory of Realism. Even though it realizes the state as the main actor, it also recognizes the role played by other non-states actors such as multilateral organizations (Nayef, 2007, p. 20). StudentShare . Realism had gained its popularity from the late 1930s and early 1940s when the idealist approach had failed to analyze the real politics throughout the world. Anarchy is where there is no higher authority governing relationships between states. National Interest . Idealism (Idealist Approach) and Realism (Realist Approach) have been two competing traditional approaches, each of which wants recognition as the sound approach to the study of international relations. Realism is centered on four assumptions (Jack, 2008, p. 150).It focuses more on the state and views the state as the principal political actor in International relations. No wonder there is a great debate-the great debate that arises regarding the perspective. Realism is a straightforward approach to international relations, stating that all nations are working to increase their own power, and those countries that manage to horde power most efficiently will thrive, as they can easily eclipse the achievements of less powerful nations. It emphasizes the role of the nation-state and makes a broad assumption that all nation-states are motivated by national interests, or, at best, national interests disguised as moral concerns.

As an approach, the political realism emphasizes the importance of power as the moving force in the political relations; this theory studies international political relations from the point of view of their competitiveness and conflicting nature (Political Realism in International Relations par. Realism theory in international relations is the most dominant school of thought after World War II and until now it has relevance in the present international politics. Structural realism, or neorealism, is a theory of international relations that says power is the most important factor in international relations. … It is based upon assumption that power should be the primary goal of any political act, both in international or domestic sphere. First outlined by Kenneth Waltz in his 1979 book Theory of International Politics, structural realism is subdivided into two factions: offensive realism and defensive realism.

Realism in Waltz's view was severely limited, as where other classic disciplines of international relations. 2. Introduction When studying international relations as an academic discipline studying about Idealism and realism is a major concern. The international relations schools of thought known as Realism and Idealism identify specific and similar characteristics of actors in the conceptual development of their theories. The concept of self-interest plays a very important role in this theory. International relations - International relations - Structures, institutions, and levels of analysis: Since the 1970s the study of international relations has been marked by a renewed debate about the relationship between structures and institutions in international systems. The paper "The Cold War and Realism in International Relations" discusses the cold war era and theories of international relations. Neo-Realism is designed as re-examination, a second tier explanation that fills in the gaps classic theories neglected. While realism is taken to portray pessimism in the relations between states in the international system, liberalism depicts optimism and positivism in as far as the relations and goals of states in the international system are concerned. The two major theories of international relations are realism and liberalism. Realism and International Relations. Realism has dominated the academic study of international relations since the end of World War II.Realists claim to offer both the most accurate explanation of state behaviour and a set of policy prescriptions (notably the balance of power between states) for ameliorating the inherent destabilizing elements of international affairs. Realism depicts competition in the relations between states. Diplomacy, the power of international law, etc. Realism is an approach to international relations that has emerged gradually through the work of a series of analysts who have situ-ated themselves within, and thus delimited, a distinctive but still diverse style or tradition of analysis.

Serbia to sue NATO over damages caused during the 1999 bombing
Belgrade in flames, March 1999.
According to Sputnik International, Serbia has launched a team of lawyers tasked with the preparation of a lawsuit against the imperialist alliance of NATO over the damage it caused to the country during the 1999 bombing.
The team will include the best lawyers from Serbia, as well as from the EU, Russia, China and India and will be headed by prominent Serbian lawyer Srdjan Aleksic. "We want to bring to trial the NATO states that participated in the aggression against Yugoslavia. These are 20 states that directly or indirectly participated in it. The lawsuits will target directly each of these states," Aleksic told Sputnik Serbia.
According to Aleksic, the lawyers do not plan to apply to the International Court of Justice. Instead, the lawsuits will be filed with the national courts of each of the 20 states.
"We believe that this is within the competence of national courts. These states violated the principles set forth in the seventh chapter of the UN Charter, which prohibits aggression against any state. In addition, NATO has violated chapters 5 and 6 of its own charter, since NATO is a defensive alliance, and not an offensive one. This is about a violation of international law, in particular conventions, which prohibit aggression and the use of force against sovereign states," the lawyer explained.
Members of Aleksic's team are expected to prepare about 20 cases supported by convincing material evidence, like medical documents that indicate a connection between the use of depleted uranium munitions during the bombing and the increase in the number of oncological diseases in Serbia over the last two decades.
"They dropped from 10 to 15 tons of depleted uranium on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The increase in the number of cancer patients has caused serious concerns. Malignant tumors are found annually in 33,000 Serbian citizens. Every day this terrible disease is diagnosed at least in one child in our country. Compared with 1999, the number of cancer patients has increased by five times, primarily in the south of Serbia, as well as Kosovo and Metohija," Aleksic said.
According to the lawyer, outstanding Serbian doctors, oncologists and toxicologists will participate in the preparation of the lawsuit.
"All our statements are evidenced by the fact that 45 Italian soldiers who served in those areas of Kosovo which were affected by the bombing with depleted uranium eventually got cancer. The court acknowledged the fact that the responsibility for the incident must be borne by the State of Italy, and now it pays serious compensation, from 200,000 to 1,200,000 euros to each person diagnosed with the disease. Our lawsuit will be based on that," the lawyer said.
In an interview with Radio Sputnik, Vice President of the International Association of Russian-Speaking Lawyers, Mikhail Ioffe, said that Serbia should have filed the lawsuits immediately after the 1999 bombings.
"From a legal standpoint, they should have brought the charges when the damage [caused by the airstrikes] was there for everyone to see, not now that its traces are no longer evident. Still, the damage they caused to the people's health is hard to miss," Ioffe said.
He described the idea of suing NATO for the 1999 airstrikes as "viable." Mikhail Ioffe also mentioned a number of legal problems that would prove hard to resolve.
"The question is whether the US will respond to these charges or not. The other countries could likewise want to shirk responsibility for what they did. The biggest hurdle is that [the 1999 bombings] have not been recognized as an international aggression by any authoritative international body," the lawyer stated.
"The UN refused to authorize them, neither did they term the actions by the US and its coalition partners as an act of aggression. I guess this could be a matter for some backdoor diplomatic bargaining Serbia could benefit from," Mikhail Ioffe concluded.
The 1999 bombing killed hundreds of civilians, and destroyed the country's infrastructure including bridges, industrial plants and public buildings.

Food baskets come with a Gilded Age moral lesson
by Michael Sean Winters
dreamstime_m_108066919 crop.jpg
A sign announces that a retailer accepts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), in Muncie, Indiana, in January. (Dreamstime/Jonathan Weiss)
President Donald Trump submitted his proposed budget to Congress this week and he calls for major changes in the way the government deals with housing, poverty and health care issues.
The good news is that for many years, a president's budget proposal has been deemed dead on arrival by leaders in Congress. Of course, for the most of the past two decades, the party that controls the White House has not controlled both houses of Congress, as the Republicans do now.
The bad news is that Trump owns the Republican Party. As David Von Drehle explained in The Washington Post, Trump executed a "reverse merger" in 2017. Members of Congress live in fear of him endorsing a primary challenger and so they are reluctant to buck his lead. All last year, we heard whispers that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and other principled Republicans would distance themselves from Trump as soon as they got their tax reform passed. Tax reform passed. We are still waiting to see them distance themselves.
It isn't surprising that the president wants large cuts in federal expenditures in programs that help the poor and working poor. What has been more interesting is the way the White House suggests effecting those cuts. For example, the White House proposes cutting back on food stamps and replacing the cash that system provides poor folk with a "Blue Apron"-style program in which the poor would get a food basket.
"It lowers the cost to us because we can buy prices at wholesale, whereas they have to buy it at retail," explained budget director Mick Mulvaney. "It also makes sure they're getting nutritious food. So we're pretty excited about that."
Of course, the most nutritious foods are perishable, and it is hard to see how the federal government could deliver all those food boxes with anything but nonperishables. But let's not get picky about facts. The point of this proposal is not factual, it is moral: If there had been a thought cloud above Mulvaney's head, it would have said, "Because poor folk tend to eat junk food that isn't healthy, right?"
Seeing as we are now in a new Gilded Age, what more appropriate message than this: Charity must inculcate virtue, or it is counterproductive.
That got me to thinking. If we want to both save money, and inspire the poor to improve their lot, we could simply deport them. After all, programs like food stamps are expensive, and it is cheaper to live in poor countries like Mexico anyway. Besides, we are reforming our immigration system so it only brings in people who will benefit our economy. "Malthus does Migration" could be the motto of this White House and of congressional Republicans.
So these newly deported poor, who would no doubt miss the good deal they had in the States, would have an incentive to improve their lot, get an education, become a high-tech wiz, so that they could return to the U.S.
Or if the mass deportation of hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans and Haitians (being kicked off temporary protected status) is clogging the deportation channels, or transportation costs are too high, we could go back to the good old days and build poorhouses. After all, Trump promised to make America great again. If we were great back in the days of poorhouses, let's bring them back. And, in the interests of proper diet, we could more easily exercise portion control and avoid obesity.
Mooooooreeeee?!?!?!
Video of Mooooooreeeee?!?!?!
Alexandra Petri had some other fine ideas, such as making the poor wear sackcloth and ashes to prove there are genuinely humble.
Petri's article got me to thinking. Virtue is not only for the poor. It's for everybody. And, what's more, the poor are not the only ones who are the beneficiaries of government largesse. The tax reform bill the Republicans are so proud of showered billions of dollars on the fabulously wealthy. I suppose we can assume that they are worthy of their wealth, seeing as material worth and moral worth so obviously go hand-in-hand. But how to make sure?
Currently, the only thing the uber-rich had to do to earn their billions in tax cuts was to line the pockets of politicians with campaign cash. Some of the wealthier among the uber-rich, who also, albeit mistakenly, fancy themselves intellectuals, went further and set up agitprop factories that they call think tanks, and they get all sorts of policy papers justifying the Gilded Age policies they wish to enact.
Maybe, to help the rich maintain their moral superiority, we could encourage them to do things that would inculcate virtue. Take humility. That is a virtue. Maybe the rich could be forced to fly coach one time. Or they could have to clean the bathroom in their hotel room when they leave. Or they could work a shift in the prep kitchen of a restaurant where they like to dine.
Hell, this could even be fun. Marie Antoinette had her hameau, why not let today's kings and queens of capitalism get a chance to experience rustic life?
As a Catholic, I do not believe there is a correlation between moral and material superiority. But that connection has taken a hit in recent months: Many men with power and money thought they were entitled to treat their subordinates as sex objects, and now that we finally see justice being done, I think the connection, so deep in American culture, is being questioned at one level.
Let that questioning spread. Let it roll on like the mighty Mississippi — broad and inexorable — until we see all wealth as subject to the demands of justice, and not only for those whose libido got them into trouble. Let us ask why no bankers went to jail after Wall Street tanked the economy in its greed, and let us enact laws that will make sure that, next time, they do go to jail. Let us tax those who do not pay a living wage at a higher rate than those businesspeople who do. Let's make sure income earned by investment pays the same taxes as income earned by the sweat of one's brow.
Excuse me. I got carried away. Any vision of a more just America, any vision of an America that conforms to the biblical vision of justice in which the poor and the widow and the stranger are treated with dignity, that vision begins when Trump and Ryan and all their ilk are retired from public life and when men and women willing to challenge the moral inequities and iniquities of neoliberalism have majorities in Congress and the Oval Office.
I may not live to see that day, but when I am made to watch Mulvaney explain how his food baskets will replace food stamps, it costs nothing to dream.

The second round of the tournament gets under way at Murrayfield, where John Inverdale introduces coverage of a fixture Ireland have dominated in recent years.
Scotland's sole victory over Ireland in the past five tournaments came on this ground in 2017, with the home side hanging on for a 27-22 win despite a thrilling Irish comeback in the second half.
With commentary by Eddie Butler and Chris Paterson, and analysis from Martin Johnson, Paul O'Connell and Andy Nicol.


You need some intense tunes for that winter workout, and jamming "Jingle Bell Rock" will leave you more festive than focused. Grab a pair of Yurbuds (Focus for a behind-the-ear fit, Driven Sport for secure, over-ear design), and check out the songs in our rotation to heat up your workout in the colder months.
1. PSY – "Gangnam Style" – This uptempo tune is perfect for keeping up the intensity, despite the fact that it only features two words in English.
2. Flo Rida – "Whistle" – At 2AM, whether you're at the nightclub or having a late night workout, Flo Rida's music is ideally suited for both settings.
3. Justin Bieber – "As Long As You Love Me" – Even if you're not a "Belieber," this song is a good choice to charge you up on your trip to the gym.
4. Alex Clare – "Too Close" – This is another genre-crosser that's tempting to keep on repeat on your workout circuit.
5. Owl City – "Good Time" – Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen at the same time may seem like a no-no, but this feel good song is undeniably catchy and motivating.
