LifeHacker - The Best Tools to Archive Web Pages There's a push to make photoshopped models in ads illegal In 2011, British member of parliament Jo Swinson ordered Lancôme to take down London billboard ads featuring Photoshopped images of famous women — Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington. The altered images, she said, were “not representative of the results the products could achieve” and gave women unrealistic and false expectations of what women should look like. Back in the U.S., the move caught the eye of Seth Matlins, who had just left his big marketing job as CMO of Live Nation to start Feel More Better, a site to help empower girls and women to be happy and healthy. Initially moved to write an opinion piece about Swinson’s actions, Matlins decided to go a step further. “I asked myself the question if the British government is doing that, who is doing that here? Over the past three years, Matlins has been working to raise awareness of the ad industry’s harmful photo-manipulation practices. Can you explain what exactly the act is? via Change.org

Seizing the Middle Ground: Constructivism in World Politics Abstract In recent years, a great deal has been written about a `constructivist' approach in International Relations, which argues that international reality is socially constructed by cognitive structures that give meaning to the material world. Journal of Computers in Education JCE is an interdisciplinary forum for communication of perspectives among researchers, practitioner, and policy makers on theories and practices in technology enhanced learning. The journal aims at making an impact on educational practices and thus to transform learning. The journal publishes up-to-date research and experiences in information communication technologies (ICT) in learning and education. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Preparing for a music psychology course | Victoria Williamson Music Psychology PhD I have been getting some nice emails of late from people who are considering a music psychology postgraduate degree, and who want to know how best to prepare for such a course. So today I am going to lay out a few pieces of general advice for postgraduate students thinking about taking up music psychology. The first important point to make is that each course is different. I work at the University of Sheffield which boasts 3 courses in music psychology that focus on the science of understanding how music affects the brain and body (with 1 focusing specifically on education and 1 designed specially for musicians). The advice I give below is aimed at our courses- I think they are the best, but then I am biased If you are thinking to apply for another UK course, such as Goldsmiths or Roehampton, or any other course in the World, then please take this advice as rough only and contact the course directors directly to get exact guidance. Course component: Music theory Field, A. (2009).

احدث ديكورات غرف النوم 2014 ديكورات غرف النوم 2014 fpa.oxfordjournals Constructivism in the International Relations literature mainly focuses on the constitutive interaction between international norms and state actions. Few studies explore when ideas at the domestic level matter in foreign policy change. I propose a constructivist account for policy change that emphasizes not only ideas but also material interests as exogenous factors constituted within domestic structures.
