Assessment methods
For details on each module's assessment criteria, please consult the Module Catalogue within the School's web pages at http://www.swansea.ac.uk/som/. Typically, each module includes a written examination after the taught elements have been completed (so a 15 credit module taken in the first semester will be examined in January) and coursework or continuous assessment consisting of a number of assignments. Assignments may be individual assignments, group assignments, presentations, and business reports. Students thus have every opportunity to develop key-skills in the use of Information Technology to gather, coordinate and present information, and also their confidence in presentation. Typically continuous assessment might count for approximately 30% of the total mark, with examinations weighted at 70% but the proportion can vary considerably between modules.

EconomicsBusiness studies
This is a degree in demand, as business increasingly needs workers who can examine and explain complex data. And yet the number of economics graduates fell by nearly 10% last year, which means demand is even greater. As so many economic grads go into banking and finance, it's not surprising that over half of all 2015's economics graduates who did go into work were working in London. And don't think it's just the finance industry that's interested in these graduates - there's a significant number who enter the IT industry to work with data as analysts and consultants. It's quite common for economics graduates to go into jobs such as accountancy and management consultancy which may require you to take more training and gain professional qualifications - so don't assume you won't have to take any more exams once you leave uni. And the incentive to take them, of course, is better pay, which will be on top of an already healthy average starting salary of over £30,000 for graduates working in the capital.
The number of business studies graduates fell significantly last year after a long period of increase. But there were still more than 14,000 degrees awarded and this is the third most popular subject for new graduates. Because so many graduates get business studies degrees, you can find them everywhere in the economy, and very few jobs are completely out of reach for a good business studies graduate. Around 40% go into jobs in finance, sales, recruitment, management (particularly retail) or marketing. There is also a small (but well paid) group who take their technical skills into computing and IT. Thousands of graduates from this subject go into professional jobs every year, and average starting salaries are above the average for all subjects and particularly healthy in London where they top £25k. Graduates with good degree grades in business studies are much more likely to get good jobs, so don't be complacent, and keep a close eye on your grades.

Are you ready for the 2015 sulphur rules?
As per January 1st 2015, the limit for sulphur in marine fuels used in the ECA's (Emission Control Areas) will go down from 1.0% to 0.10%. Practically this means, that the market for LSFO 1.0% will disappear. Shortages are already imminent in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region. Several "new" marine fuels have appeared, as an alternative for the relatively expensive marine gas oil DMA 0.10%. These new fuels are expected to be priced at a discount off the gas oil prices. Suppliers are now starting to offer contracts for delivery in the first quarter of 2015.
Should you require any information on these new fuels (HDME-50, Eco Marine Fuel, DMB 0.10% to name a few), please do not hesitate to contact us!

Digestibility of protein in traditional diets from developing countries such as India, Guatemala, and Brazil is considerably lower compared to that of protein in typical North American diets (54–78 versus 88–94%). The presence of less digestible protein fractions, high levels of insoluble fiber, and high concentrations of antinutritional factors in the diets of developing countries, which are based on less refined cereals and grain legumes as major sources of protein, are responsible for poor digestibility of protein. The effects of the presence of some of the important antinutritional factors on protein and amino digestibilities of food and feed products are reviewed in this chapter. Food and feed products may contain a number of antinutritional factors that may adversely affect protein digestibility and amino acid availability. Antinutritional factors may occur naturally, such as glucosinolates in mustard and rapeseed protein products, trypsin inhibitors and hemagglutinins in legumes, tannins in legumes and cereals, phytates in cereals and oilseeds, and gossypol in cottonseed protein products. Antinutritional factors may also be formed during heat/alkaline processing of protein products, yielding Maillard compounds, oxidized forms of sulfur amino acids, D-amino acids, and lysinoalanine (LAL, an unnatural amino acid derivative). The presence of high levels of dietary trypsin inhibitors from soybeans, kidney beans, or other grain legumes can cause substantial reductions in protein and amino acid digestibilities (up to 50%) in rats and pigs. Similarly, the presence of high levels of tannins in cereals, such as sorghum, and grain legumes, such as fababean (Vicia faba L.), can result in significantly reduced protein and amino acid digestibilities (up to 23%) in rats, poultry, and pigs. Studies involving phytase supplementation of production rations for swine or poultry have provided indirect evidence that normally encountered levels of phytates in cereals and legumes can reduce protein and amino acid digestibilities by up to 10%. D-amino acids and LAL formed during alkaline/heat treatment of proteins such as casein, lactalbumin, soy protein isolate, or wheat proteins are poorly digestible (less than 40%), and their presence can reduce protein digestibility by up to 28% in rats and pigs. A comparison of the protein digestibility determination in young (5-week) versus old (20-month) rats suggests greater susceptibility to the adverse effects of antinutritional factors in old rats than in young rats. Therefore, the inclusion of protein digestibility data obtained with young rats, as the recommended animal model, in the calculation of PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score) may overestimate protein digestibility and quality of products, especially those containing antinutritional factors, for the elderly. For products specifically intended for the elderly, protein digestibility should be determined using more mature rats.

2012 PanAm Intercollegiate Chess Championship
Intercollegiate Chess Championship 2012 in Princeton
The 2012 PanAm Intercollegiate Chess Championship (also known as the World Series of College Chess) will take place at Princeton University on December 27-30. More than 30 top college teams are expected to compete for the prestigious national title.
There will be 3 universities from Missouri (Webster, Lindenwood, and Wash U) competing. Below is the list of some of the top teams entering this year's national championship:
NY University
University of Texas (Dallas)
University of Texas (Austin)
University of Texas (Brownsville)
Lindenwood University
Miami-Dade University
University of Toronto, etc.
The first PanAm Intercollegiate Chess Championship took place in NY in 1946. The top 4 finishing teams from the PanAm will qualify for the Final Four which will take place around the beginning of April 2013 in Washington DC.
More about the Intercollegiate Chess Championship
The Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship ("World Series of College Chess") is the foremost intercollegiate team chess championship in the Americas. Organized by the United States Chess Federation, the Pan-Am Intercollegiate is open to any team comprising four players and up to two alternates from the same post-secondary school (university, college, community college) in North America, Central America, South America, or the Caribbean. The Pan-Am began as such in 1946 (there had been earlier versions open to U.S. schools only), and is held annually, usually December 27–30. It has been held in the United States for virtually all of its history; however, it was hosted in Canada four times (1969, 1971, 1984, 1999). The current format is a six-round fixed-roster team Swiss-system tournament scored by team points. Sometimes the Pan-Am Intercollegiate is held as part of a larger event called the Pan-American Chess Championships comprising the Pan-Am Intercollegiate, Pan-Am Scholastic Team Championship, and Pan-Am Open (for any individual).
The 2012 Pan American Intercollegiate Chess Championship will take place at Princeton University on December 27–30.
The winning team is considered to be the top college or university team in Pan-America and the top US team is considered the US National Champion. In the event of a tie, the title is shared among the top scoring teams.
Started in 1946, the Pan-Am has been held under various names and formats. For some years in the period 1945-1974 there was an individual college championship. Following Bobby Fischer's victory at the 1972 World Championship, the popularity of the Pan-Am temporarily soared. Beginning in the 1990s, the Pan-Am has been dominated by powerhouse teams from schools offering major chess scholarships, particularly Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), and University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).

Facebook has surely been the largest social media platform in the world with over a billion users across the globe. It is getting bigger and bigger every passing day with new updates for security and privacy being launched almost every month. One of these updates launched by Facebook not only includes hiding your friend list from the general public, but it also includes hiding it from your friends. If you have hidden your friend list even from your friends than your friends will only be able to see your mutual friends and vice versa.
However, it might happen that you need to search a friend's hidden friend list that he or she has set to private when you are searching for a person who is a friend of your friend.
Hence if you are thinking about searching your friend's hidden friend list than you will need to do a Graph Search on Facebook. The criteria for Graph Search is that you and the target profile should have at least one mutual friend so that you can get access to the hidden friend list. Are you finding it difficult? No worries, here is a Graph Search performed by Google Chrome Extension.
Add Facebook Friend Mapper Extension to your Google Chrome Browser.
All you need to do is Click on Reveal Friends and it will start scanning for their private friend list, it may take time depending on how long their friend list is.
After scanning it will show you the Facebook IDs of all their friends in a pop-up window.
After completing these steps you can get access to your friend's hidden friend list and search for the person you are looking for but it won't show the names, so you will have to guess it by looking at the profile pictures.
It is important for you to have Google chrome installed because it's a Google Chrome Extension as well as have at least one mutual friend with the targeted profile.
As told earlier that extension works a Graph Search on Facebook by using the Facebook ID of your friend and the ID of one of your mutual friend.
After completing the process you can see their common friends. However, you won't see the complete list and you will have to do the Graph Search again and again to view the complete list.
It can become very difficult and tiring to do the process manually, so to ease up things for you, consider a script written in Google Chrome Extension.
Go to the Facebook profile of your common friend and your target profile.
Create a url as seen below to get the mutual friends between you and the target user.
Scroll down and on the right side bar find the mutual friend option.
Now type your target's name and select the friend profile from the list.

Laney defensive stalwarts sign to play college football
By Will CheneyCorrespondent
Two key components of Laney's 2018 defense inked scholarships Wednesday.
Theron Foreman will attend Saint Augustine's University and Maurice Paige is heading to Benedict College.
"You always want to win games, you want to win championships, but when you can send guys to the next level, you change their lives and their family's lives," said Rodney McFadden, former Laney head coach. "So it has a little deeper meaning when you can get their college paid for and that's one of our primary goals here."
Paige is a versatile defensive lineman who played multiple positions for the Wildcats in 2018, earning a spot on The Augusta Chronicle all-area third team. Normally known for his achievements on the basketball court, he earned a scholarship after playing just two years of football at Laney.
"He was able to play defensive end for us, defensive tackle, tight end, H-back, fullback and even ran the ball a little bit," McFadden said. "For just coming out in two years, he didn't really have an offseason. For him to pick the game back up like he never left is commendable. He's a freakish athlete for his size and to be able to move the way he does at his weight, Benedict got a steal."
Benedict finished the 2018 season with a 6-3 mark, finishing second in the eastern division of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The HBCU is located in Columbia.
Foreman is a linebacker-safety hybrid who played his way into an all-area second team nod.
"Theron is so coachable," McFadden said. "He's played linebacker for us, he can play strong safety and he's going to do whatever needs to be done. He's a yes-sir, no-sir kid so I think they'll represent myself and this school well in the future."
Saint Augustine's University is a HBCU located in Raleigh, N.C. The Falcons finished 2-7 in 2018, but Foreman looks to help a defense that allowed more than 33 points per game.
Last week, former Laney standout Jaylen Watson committed to play at Southern Cal. The cornerback had spent the past two seasons at Ventura College, a junior college in California.

Workplace fatalities highlight need for vigilance as holiday season approaches
The tragic spate of four work-related fatalities over the past three days is a timely reminder for all workplaces to remain vigilant for workplace safety as New Zealand approaches the holiday season, says Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety Iain Lees-Galloway.
"Any workplace death is a tragedy that shouldn't happen, and four deaths occurring over the past three days is particularly concerning," says Mr Lees-Galloway.
"Four families will now spend Christmas grieving for a father, husband, brother or son, and mates will mourn a friend. I have deep sympathy for these families, and I am determined that fewer Kiwi families will have to experience such a terrible loss next year and in the future.
"All these fatalities involved interactions in some way with machinery or vehicles. Machinery and vehicles are an obviously foreseeable critical risk in any business. Every business must know what these critical risks are and have clear strategies for managing those risks.
"What concerns me is that this seems not to be happening well enough in New Zealand. Last year there were 24 workplace deaths involving vehicles and machinery and 12 the year before.
"This is an especially risky time of year. It's the end of a long year, there's fatigue combined with pressure to finish jobs before the holiday break, and there are a lot of distractions on the minds of many workers.
"We can and must do better. My message to business owners and workplace managers is this:
If your teams are working tomorrow, stand them down at the beginning of the day and reinforce risk awareness – if you're not working until Monday, please do it then;
Reinforce that if workers are worried about risky situations, they should call it out and stop the work;
Talk to your people – they're at the frontline and they can see danger before you can.
As a business owner, this spate of deaths must motivate you to review your risks and controls. We all must play a role in stopping workplace deaths and injuries," says Mr Lees-Galloway.

Dickinson College is fully committed to understanding and support of the diverse faith traditions to which members of our community adhere. A piece of this education, is sharing with each other the history and celebrations related to religious holidays celebrated by members of the Dickinson community. As our community becomes increasingly diverse, so to must our efforts of education and support of people from all faith traditions.
To help build an inclusive and aware community, Dickinson College has designated specific religious holidays for no college or campus-wide events sponsored by offices and departments. To review the holidays, please read the entire Religious Holidays College Policy.
The traditional calendar already recognizes many major Christian holidays, Easter and Christmas. In addition, the College calendar will also include Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, the first evening of Passover, Eid-al-Fitr, and Eid-al-Adha. All large venue college spaces will not be available for reservation on the evenings of these holidays. College wide events are those that invite all members of any part of Dickinson community, and due to religious observance, someone within that group might be excluded. If a college sponsored event is scheduled on these holidays, it must be rescheduled as soon as the conflict is realized.
Using the Gateway, faculty and staff can add the major holidays with college observance easily onto one's Outlook calendars.
Each August a calendar is offered by the Center for Service, Spirituality, and Social Justice as a resource for holidays celebrated by Dickinson community. As we hope to increase our understanding of the shifting religious landscape of our campus and wider culture, this calendar aims to increase familiarity with religious traditions and facilitate thoughtful planning of schedules and activities. The holidays offered are based on our records of the religious traditions represented in the student body.
To assist in future planning, religious holidays for the academic years 2018-2022 are also available.
College employees can access a Campus Religious Holidays public calendar that has all the dates noted to ease in scheduling when using Outlook Calendars. This can be overlayed with your personal calendar to automatically show holidays recognized by campus.
When you view your calendar the Campus Religious Holidays calendar should now appear under "Other Calendars"

The esports industry in 2020
Esports have burst into the mainstream in recent years, forging an entire industry of their own. An industry that exceeds $1.1 billion in revenues and attracts audiences of more than 495 million across the globe today. Competitive gaming may date back as far as the 1970s, but it's only in the last decade or so that esports have evolved from niche interest to commercial hit. So, what does the industry look like today?
The growth of esports
Esports have come a long way since their conception in the 1970s, when students flocked to compete in a game of "Spacewar", a space combat game played on one of the first ever computers. Now, global championships are held around the world, attracting thousands of professional players and even more spectators.
The esports industry has skyrocketed, with the revenue tripling and audience size quadrupling over the past five years. And, taking a broader look at the industry over a 20-year period, the number of competitive players has multiplied by 368 and the number of tournaments by 322.
The top esports games
To make the cut as an "esport", the game doesn't necessarily have to be a AAA title. Esports comprise both popular and lesser known games, ranging from high-octane epics with impressive visuals, to a straightforward game of chess. One bit of important criteria, however, is the game must have a clear winner.
From long-running titles such as Dota 2 or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to action-centred games like Fortnite, here are the top 10 games of 2020.

The most popular esports genres
The most popular genre among the top 100 esports games is 'First Person Shooter', with 31% of the titles falling under this category. A timeless concept in the gaming world, this type of game involves shooting enemies and targets, played from the perspective of the character being controlled. Second in popularity are 'Fighting Games', indicating a somewhat violent theme among the biggest hits.

The top esports tournaments
Competitions that once were confined to an arcade are now filling up huge arenas around the world and streamed for the greater public's viewing. In fact, esports tournaments are watched by millions. The Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2017 was one of the largest esports events in history, with a live attendance of 173,000 and viewership of 46 million.
Esports in 2020
Like many industries, esports have been hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to live events being cancelled. However, unlike traditional sports, which have been forced to press pause, esports have the advantage of being able to run digitally. In fact, many traditional sports have taken advantage of esports to maintain cash flow during the pandemic. For example, The Virtual Grand Prix drew 3.2 million online viewers, with an estimated 1.2 million watching on TV.
The COVID-19 lockdowns have boosted user engagement with esports and revenues for many gaming companies and platforms have increased during the pandemic. Popular streaming sites, such as Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming, for example, have experienced a 20% increase in the numbers of hours streamed. The market is expected to generate close to 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in revenue by 2022, though this is likely to be understated.
Esports in the UK
While esports isn't as popular in the UK as it is in countries such as China, USA and Germany, new research has revealed that around 7% of the UK population (4 million) watch esports regularly. Further to this, London has been hosting dozens of esports tournaments each year.
The UK boasts approximately 3,000 professional players, however, there is only one British player in the top 100 (Jaden Ashman, 16), leading to calls from fans for there to be more attention given to the esports industry nationally.

Hidden Common Ground Nation's failed weed war Candidate Q&As Columns & Letters
'Innocent until proven guilty' should mean what it says: Column
Derek Draplin and Kahryn Riley
Gerald and Royetta Ostipow had no idea what civil asset forfeiture was until sheriff's deputies arrived at their farm in rural Michigan and seized and then sold the couple's property. The Ostipows were required to provide a $150,000 cash bond before they could begin the legal proceedings to contest the forfeiture and get their property back. But they couldn't afford to.
An appeals court later overturned the Ostipow's hefty bond requirement, a move the legislature has now followed in a reform signed into law in January. But the ruling didn't stop the nightmare for the couple who were never charged with a crime. They still had to win a court case seeking the return of hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property taken from the Ostipow's rural Michigan home, including a cherished classic car.
Eventually, an appeals court found that the property was wrongly forfeited. But it was too later to recover the car. With the odometer mysteriously bearing an additional 56,000 miles, police had already sold the car and spent the proceeds.
IRS should return its ill-gotten gain: Column
Glenn Reynolds: America's unregulated shampooer menace
Mass seizures of private property by law enforcement agencies aren't a problem particular to Michigan. The U.S. Department of Justice received $2.01 billionin forfeited items in 2013, and since 2008 local and state law enforcement nationwide has raked in some $3 billion in forfeitures through the federal "equitable sharing" program. In Michigan alone, more than $270 million has been seized from citizens since 2001 — and that's only what's been reported.
Michigan's January reforms removing the bond requirement from the books has let Michigan join most other states, but there is still more to do. For example, our state still doesn't require police to wait until a defendant is proven guilty of a crime before depriving them — often permanently — of their cash, cars, homes or other property. Ohio became the 12th state to have such a policy when it changed its law last year.
POLICING THE USA: A look at race, justice, media
Flynn should not be tried under the Logan Act: Column
Every state should join Nebraska and New Mexico in repealing civil forfeiture altogether, allowing only a criminal court to transfer personal property to the government, and only after the owner of the property has been convicted of a crime. But if states don't do that, legislatures across the country should at least remove the financial incentive for police departments to use forfeiture to pad their budgets.
Most states allow law enforcement to keep at least 45% of the value of forfeited property, while in Michigan police get to keep up to 100%. Anecdotal evidence suggests that allowing departments to keep forfeiture proceeds may tempt them to use the funds unwisely. For example, consider a 2015 scandal in Romulus, Michigan, where police officers used funds forfeited from illicit drug and prostitution stings to pay for ... illicit drugs and prostitutes.
Criminals should not get to keep money, property or other ill-gotten gains from illegal activity. But criminals aren't criminals until they have been convicted. That's what "innocent until proven guilty" means.

The Nasdaq Composite retreated from its record closing level, trading 8 points, or 0.1%, lower at 5,212. The S&P 500 opened 2.5 points, or 0.1%, lower at 2,125.


Some of us don't need a big, bulky case that protects our phones from rough treatment, and prefer a slim case that keeps things from getting scratched and slips easily into a pocket or purse. The Case-Mate Barely There case for the Inspire 4G is that case.
It's a one-piece, very thin (hey, it's barely there!) hard, yet flexible and impact resistant shell that neatly covers the rear of your Inspire 4G or Desire HD. It's designed to leave all the ports and buttons on the top and bottom of the phone open, and the volume switch on the side is cut-out for easy use. It's simple to put on and take off, and is going to do a great job keeping the back of your phone from getting dings or scratches. While the case covers the back and corners, the included Case-Mate screen protector covers the big 4.3-inch piece of glass up front.
If you're looking for a case that's slim and attractive, you should have a look at the Case-Mate Barely there case. You can find it in the Android Central store, in black, pink, white, and mirrored silver for $17.95.
