================================================
V0.5.1 - Jan 24, 2012
* N-best list module now normalizes extra space in hypotheses
* Single optimizer runs no longer cause a NaN in the output table -- instead we print a warning message
V0.5.0 - 11/29/2012
* Bug fix for BLEU implementation affecting only multiple reference translations (see below)
IMPORTANT: Scores from MultEval BLEU 0.5.0 are *NOT* comparable to previous versions.
Please score all of your experiments with a consistent version of all metrics.
NOTE: Jon rescored several results using the fixed version of BLEU and the differences
between systems remained virtually unchanged despite the magnitudes of the scores changing.
* Added Travis CI regression tests (see https://travis-ci.org/jhclark/multeval)
* Added ability to produce sentence-level scores via the --sentLevelDir option
* More verbose output for BLEU
Examples of BLEU bug fix's effects on an Arabic-English 4 reference :
=============== V0.4.3 ======================= ||| =============== V0.5.0 ============== ||| === Comparison ==
Set | Baseline | Experimental | Improvement ||| Baseline | Experimental | Improvement ||| Improvement Delta
MT08nw | 47.8 | 47.8 | +/- ||| 48.3 | 48.4 | +/- ||| 0
MT08wb | 30.5 | 31.0 | +0.5 ||| 31.2 | 31.5 | +0.3 ||| 0.2
MT09nw | 51.6 | 51.5 | +/- ||| 53.2 | 53.1 | +/- ||| 0
MT09wb | 31.6 | 32.3 | +0.7 ||| 33.5 | 34.1 | +0.6 ||| 0.1
This same trend also held in several Chinese-English experiments with multiple
references -- absolute scores increased while relative differences remained nearly identical.
V0.4.3 - 8/27/2012
* Upgraded to Meteor 1.4 (also released 8/27/2012)
- Note: This change only affects previously unsupported languages by enabling new stemmers
V0.4.2 - 12/3/2012
* Fixed bug in n-best scoring that caused oracle *submetrics* such as precision and recall (not main BLEU, TER, METEOR, etc. scores) to be reported incorrectly for oracle hypotheses
* Multi-threaded bootstrap resampling and approximate randomization significance tests (large time savings for many systems with many optimization runs)
* Updated to Guava V11
Some timing results on 32 threads vs 4 threads vs 1 using the recent multi-threading improvements on the 3 example systems with 3 optimizer runs each:
32 / 4 / 1
Load METEOR 41.5s / 25.5s / 25.5s
Collect Sufficient Stats 14.8s / 32.7s / 86.7s
Bootstrap Resampling 35.2s / 70.9s / 189s
Approximate Randomization 19.4s / 122s / 336s
TOTAL 1m 54s / 4m 13s / 10m 39s
V0.4.1 - 12/30/2011
* Fix sizing bug reported by John DeNero, which caused MultEval to crash
* Removed "static" keyword from several places within the TER library to make it more amenable to multi-threading
V0.4 - 12/30/2011
* Multi-thread sufficient stats computation where possible (multi-threading of bootstrap resampling and approximate randomization are still on the to-do list)
* Include constants file in distribution
* A few other small optimizations
* Include example n-best list
V0.3 - 8/10/2011
* Use Meteor 1.3
* Better reporting of metric descriptions in Latex table
* Ability to find oracle-worst hypotheses from n-best list
* Better incremental status when processing n-best lists
V0.2 - 6/29/2011
* Use more aggressive shuffling algorithm for approximate randomization for better p-values in corner cases
* Dump prettier ASCII table upon completion
V0.1 - 6/21/2011
* Initial Release

All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
Form.
3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).
3.4. Notices
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
3.5. Application of Additional Terms
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered

--------------
5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.
5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.
5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.

Travis CI Build Status: [](http://travis-ci.org/jhclark/multeval)
Overview
========
MultEval takes machine translation hypotheses from several runs of an optimizer and provides 3 popular metric scores, as well as, standard deviations (via bootstrap resampling) and p-values (via approximate randomization). This allows researchers to mitigate some of the risk of using unstable optimizers such as MERT, MIRA, and MCMC. It is intended to help in evaluating the impact of in-house experimental variations on translation quality; it is currently not setup to do bake-off style comparisons (bake-offs can't require multiple optimizer runs nor a standard tokenization).
It is a user-friendly implementation of:
Jonathan Clark, Chris Dyer, Alon Lavie, and Noah Smith, "Better Hypothesis Testing for Statistical Machine Translation: Controlling for Optimizer Instability", Proceedings of the Association for Computational Lingustics, 2011. [PDF](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jhclark/pubs/significance.pdf)
To keep updated on new versions of this software, subscribe to our low-traffic announcement mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/multeval-announce. All active users are encourated to subscribe.
Usage
=====
First, download and unpack the program:
``` bash
wget http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jhclark/downloads/multeval-0.5.1.tgz
tar -xvzf multeval-0.5.1.tgz
```
To evaluate a single system from the example data and get its BLEU, METEOR, and TER scores along with its standard deviation use:
``` bash
./multeval.sh eval --refs example/refs.test2010.lc.tok.en.* \
--hyps-baseline example/hyps.lc.tok.en.baseline.opt* \
--meteor.language en
```
The first time you run this command, METEOR (and its sizable paraphrase tables) will be downloaded. Also, to help the user determine if any tokenization mismatch happened, MultEval also prints the top OOVs according to METEOR.
To compare several systems from the example data and get its BLEU, METEOR, and TER scores along with their standard deviations and p-values, use:
``` bash
./multeval.sh eval --refs example/refs.test2010.lc.tok.en.* \
--hyps-baseline example/hyps.lc.tok.en.baseline.opt* \
--hyps-sys1 example/hyps.lc.tok.en.sys1.opt* \
--hyps-sys2 example/hyps.lc.tok.en.sys2.opt* \
--meteor.language en
```
If you'd also like 1) a Latex table at you can copy-paste into your paper and 2) the hypotheses from the median optimization run ranked by improvement/decline over your baseline system and 3) A list of sentence-level metric scores including submetrics such as BLEU precision and brevity, then run it like this:
``` bash
./multeval.sh eval --refs example/refs.test2010.lc.tok.en.* \
--hyps-baseline example/hyps.lc.tok.en.baseline.opt* \
--hyps-sys1 example/hyps.lc.tok.en.sys1.opt* \
--hyps-sys2 example/hyps.lc.tok.en.sys2.opt* \
--meteor.language en \
--latex table.tex \
--rankDir rank \
--sentLevelDir sentLevel
```
All files should contain *tokenized*, lowercased, space-delimited sentences in UTF-8 encoding, one sentence per line. Unlike many metric implementations, MultEval does no tokenization or segmentation for you (see discussion below).
Generally, you should evaluate full forms (i.e. without word segmentation). For languages without a canonical notion of words (e.g. Chinese, Japanese), we recommend splitting all non-Latin characters (e.g. each character that is not part of a borrowed Western word, URL, etc. should be evaluated as its own word.)
For a more detailed description of the various METEOR options, please see http://github.com/mjdenkowski/meteor.
METEOR and its paraphrase tables will automatically be downloaded from the web the first time you run multeval.sh. They are not included in the initial download due to the large size (~200MB) of the paraphrase tables.
The ASCII table produced by multeval looks something like this:
```
n=3 BLEU (s_sel/s_opt/p) METEOR (s_sel/s_opt/p) TER (s_sel/s_opt/p) Length (s_sel/s_opt/p)
baseline 18.5 (0.3/0.1/-) 29.3 (0.1/0.0/-) 65.7 (0.4/0.2/-) 107.5 (0.4/0.1/-)
system 1 18.8 (0.3/0.3/0.00) 30.3 (0.1/0.1/0.00) 64.8 (0.4/0.6/0.00) 107.7 (0.3/0.7/0.09)
system 2 18.5 (0.3/0.1/0.00) 29.3 (0.1/0.0/0.00) 65.7 (0.4/0.2/0.00) 107.5 (0.4/0.1/0.00)
```
A quick explanation of these numbers (see paper for details):
* s_sel: The variance due to test set SELection. This is calculated using bootstrap resampling for each optimizer run and this number reports the average variance over all optimizer runs.
* s_opt: The variance due to OPTimizer instability. This is calculated directly as the variance of the aggregate metric score over all optimizer runs.
* p: This is the p-value calculated by approximate randomization. It can roughly be interpreted as the probability of the absolute difference between the baseline system and system i occurring due to chance where random permutations between the two systems are used to simulate chance occurrences. The quality of this measure depends on the n separate optimization runs of your system and is conditioned on your test set. See below for a more in-depth discussion on p-values.
The LaTeX table produced by multeval looks something like this:

To see a full list of options, use:
``` bash
./multeval.sh eval

What do p-values actually mean?
-------------------------------
A p-value is a model's estimate (where the model is a significance test) that a particular difference in scores arose by chance. Multeval uses approximate randomization, a test that approximates a permutation test via sampling shufflings of like hypotheses between systems.
The most important points are:
* a p-value **does** tell you whether a difference of this magnitude is likely to be generated again by some random process (a randomized optimizer)
* a p-value **does not** tell you whether a difference of this magnitude is meaningful (in terms of translation quality)
So even though a large difference may more frequently correspond to smaller p-values, this is not guaranteed. In fact, small differences can be quite significant and vice versa. For example, if you give a single optimizer sample with identical hypotheses and tell MultEval that these are actually two different systems (as in the baseline system and system 2 in the example data), there will be zero difference in scores and also a p-value of zero, since shuffling hypotheses between the systems produces no change, indicating that this difference (of zero) is likely to be reproducible. This demonstrates 2 points about p-values: 1) that this significance test does not account for the user giving it too few (optimizer) samples, which is why it's important to report how many optimizer samples you used and 2) that the test only provides information about the replicability of a delta, not whether or not the magnitude can be assigned external meaning (in terms of translation quality).
And here's a few FAQ's that come up from this discussion:
**Why is the p-value ~= 0 for equal inputs**
Because the quantity being estimated is actually p_ByChance(Diff=0). Given a single run of the optimizer, if two experimental configurations produce exactly the same output, we should (under frequentist statistics) say that this did not happen by chance. But of course we should distrust experiments with 1 optimizer run per experimental configuration. Now let's say you run each configuration 3 times and still both systems produce exactly the same output. Well, that's a very stable optimizer and we should begin to believe that this difference of zero has a very low probability of occurring by chance.
**Why is the p-value ~= 0 for very different inputs?**
The hypotheses before and after shuffling will most likely remain very different (as in the extreme case of comparing system1=MT, system2=references), so the probability of this difference occurring due to chance is quite low.
**Why does the number of shuffles seem to affect p-value so much?**
A small number of shuffles is just giving you a poor estimate with high variance and it's not advisable to run a small number of shuffles. Going above the default of 10k is fine, but it shouldn't change the p-values too much. Increasing the number of shuffles is actually just bringing you closer to the "true"estimate of zero, which we should expect from above.
**So when should I expect non-zero p-values?**
When shuffling produces strictly greater absolute differences than observed in aggregate and when it does this a non-trivial number of times. There's a few examples above illustrating this.
**So I should accept papers with zero p-values?**
Often not. This p-value is intended to estimate whether the difference is repeatable. But the magnitude of the difference still may not be substantive (users may not perceive any quality improvement). Sometimes, it may be more informative to look at the two sigma numbers calculated by multeval (test set variance and optimizer variance). Desite p-values and significance testing being a strong tradition in the statistics community, it does not provide a complete picture -- you need more than just the p-value. For example, it's very important to know the number of optimizer replicas.
Rounding
--------
MultEval generally rounds to one decimal place for metrics and two decimal places for p-values just before externally reporting values in tables. One should expect that our current evaluation measures and significance testing models are not likely to be very discriminant beyond this point and so assigning meaning to finer distinctions is not necessarily informative.
Discussion on Pitfalls in Tokenization, Segmentation, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------
While tokenization *can* introduce bias in many metrics by changing the length of hypotheses and references, noise can also be introduced into the evaluation process by strange interactions between running a detokenizer followed by tokenizer. Therefore, since research often isn't focused on details such as tokenization, we recommend evaluating on full-form references and hypotheses (i.e. not segmented, unless you're working with a language without a canonical notion of words) that are *tokenized*. Of course, in a bake-off scenario or in research in which multiple tokenization schemes are being compared, a standard tokenization will be necessary to have a comparable evaluation.
Still, special care must be taken for issues such as segmentation, that can effect matching of resources such as paraphrase tables in METEOR. Since METEOR doesn't use paraphrases including punctuation, this isn't an issue for tokenization, while lowercased full-forms remain a requirement for METEOR evaluation.
Care must also be taken to ensure experimental validity so that a particular tokenization does not bias your results in an unexpected way. For example, it would be easy to inflate the BLEU score by segmenting URLs into many tokens (since URLs are usually passed through, you would almost always get credit for lots of extra tokens being correct). Now, your absolute scores will be higher and any changes (positive or negative) will be diluted since there is now a greater number of overall tokens, this uninteresting subset now makes up a greater overall fraction of the evaluation set.
As a final pitfall example, consider the evaluation of Buckwalter-transliterated Arabic data. Using the traditional NIST mt-eval script where tokenization is forced (and the final tokenization is never shown to the user), one would see very biased (nearly senseless) scores since the many punctuation characters used to encode the Arabic alphabet will be used to split should-be single tokens into many illogical pieces. In this case, traditional tokenization is almost certainly the wrong thing to do. This is why MultEval leaves tokenization to the user.
Cased vs Uncased Evaluation
---------------------------
For now, this program assumes you will give it lowercased input. Cased variants of BLEU and TER will be coming soon.
Using MultEval for Error Analysis and Oracle Scoring
====================================================
In addition to metrics and statistical analyses for quantitative analysis, MultEval comes with several tools to help
you qualitatively determine how your translation systems are doing. First, is the ability to rank hypotheses with regard
to its improvement or decline over the baseline system (command line given above). Note, some metrics (e.g. BLEU) are
notoriously unstable at the sentence level.
Second, is the ability to take a n-best list from a decoder (e.g. Moses, cdec), score all of the hypotheses using
all of the metrics in MultEval, and then sort the hypotheses for each sentence by each of the metrics so that the
first sentence output for each sentence is the n-best oracle. You can get this by running:
``` bash
./multeval.sh nbest --nbest example/cdec.kbest \
--refs example/cdec.ref* \
--meteor.language en \
--rankDir rank \
> kbest.scored
```
MultEval will also display the corpus-level oracle score over the n-best list according to each metric.
For even more detailed analysis, you should also consider using the METEOR X-Ray analysis tool.
Compatibility and Accuracy
==========================
MultEval produces *exactly* the same metric scores you would obtain by running the metrics as stand-alone programs -- with the exception that MultEval does not perform tokenization. MultEval calls METEOR and TER using library API calls, and we regression test against gold-standard scores produced by these metrics in stand-alone mode. Its internal jBLEU library is a direct port of NIST's mteval-v13a.pl; we regression test against mteval-v13m.pl (which allows disabling normalization), included in the METEOR distribution. jBLEU implements the segment-level smoothing of BLEU from mteval-v13a.pl, which is derived from the smoothing in Kishore Papineni's bleu-1.04.pl script (the original IBM implementation of BLEU), added as of 3/9/2004. Note this is *not* the simplistic +1 BLEU smoothing used in some other system. Instead, bleu-1.04.pl uses an exponential decay function to give non-zero credit for orders that have no matches; this makes a difference *only* when some order has zero matches, which is relatively rare for corpus-level BLEU, but may matter for sentence-level BLEU.
You can see this reflected in most of MultEval's regression tests, which come out the same for both Moses' multi-bleu.pl and mteval-v13a.pl: http://travis-ci.org/jhclark/multeval
Comparison with Moses' multi-bleu.pl
-------------------------------------
Moses multi-bleu.pl calculates BLEU in a slightly different way than MultEval:
MultEval uses the "smoothed" variant of BLEU in which orders with zero matching
n-grams but non-zero possible matches get smoothed as per a formula in Papineni's bleu-1.04.pl.
Adding Your Own Metric
======================
Implement the metrics.Metric interface and then add it as an option in multeval.MultEval.
Libraries
=========
MultEval uses the following libraries:
* METEOR 1.4 (LGPL License, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~alavie/METEOR/ -- WordNet database has a compatible free license)
* Translation Error Rate 0.7 (LGPL License, TerCom, http://www.cs.umd.edu/~snover/tercom/ -- Thanks to Matt Snover for relicensing this). MultEval uses a slightly modified version of TER; the only change is that all classes have been moved from the default package into a "ter" package to overcome the Java restriction that classes in the defalut package cannot be imported across JARs.
* Google Guava (Apache License)
* Java Annotation Options (jannopts, LGPL License)
Building
========
Should you want to build MultEval yourself instead of using the provided tarball distribution, you'll need to download meteor using get_deps.sh. Then you can just run ant:
``` bash
$ ./get_deps.sh # Download meteor
$ ant
```
NOTE: There's a strange generics-related javac bug that's known to cause the build to fail under OpenJDK V1.6.0_17. However, this seems to be resolved as of version 1.6.0_21.

two laptops with inquiry data on the cause of diana 's death stolen
afp on the 6th , london
london 's daily express noted that two laptops with inquiry data on the 1997 paris car accident that caused the death of princess diana were stolen from the office of a former metropolitan police commissioner .
the report pointed out that the theft triggered speculation that the computers may contain confidential information of the probe led by former metropolitan police commissioner lord stevens .
however , a metropolitan police spokeswoman said that there was no sensitive information or any data linked to the probe in the computers .
lord stevens is the head of northumbria police in britain . his office is located in the vicinity of newcastle on tyne .
the report said detectives with northumbria police have been investigating two burglaries in the past ten days .
one took place on the weekend of january 28-29 with the computers and cash taken ; while the other took place last week with nothing lost .
northumbria police also said there was no evidence that the two burglaries were linked to lord stevens ' work .
stevens has been investigating speculation that the princess of wales ' death was not directly caused by the car accident .

barack obama as a fourth us president receives the nobel peace prize
the american president barack obama is for 26 hours after the oslo accords , norway , in order here as a fourth us president to receive the nobel peace prize in the history .
furthermore , it receives the diploma and a cheque for $ 1.4 million , as well as the coin for his exceptional efforts to the intensification of the world diplomacy and cooperation among the peoples .
the leader of the white house , together with its mrs michelle tomorrow in the nordwegischen metropolis and will be preoccupied the whole time .
firstly , it provides the nobel institute a visit , where it meets with the five for the first committee at all , the elected him in october from 172 people and 33 organisations have .
the präsidentenpaar has then a meeting with the norwegian king harald fifth set aside and queen sonja .
afternoon achieved then the visit its peak with the ceremony , in which obama takes up the prestigepreis .
this as a fourth us president he receives , but only when the third , receiving directly to the price in office .
the white house already make that obama will be speaking in the adoption of the price on the war in afghanistan .
the president does not want to avoid this issue , because he knows that it takes on the price as a president , will lead to the time war in two countries .
the war he has a few days ago compounded by sending more troops to afghanistan , which none of its critics forget to stress .
at the ceremony , obama was also given the golmedaille , and of the diploma the cheque on ten million swedish kronor ( approximately 24 million czech crowns ) .
the money , he intends to donate for charity , but on a specific karitatives work he has not yet decided .
the veranstaltungsprogramm may then seem a banquet with the president and of his woman , with the king of except norway and queen the prime minister has also guests will be present and further 250 .
obama was of the beginning of the price to very reticent .
he referred to , for example , that he have the feeling that he does not deserve the price .
he also reiterated on several occasions that it is the price is not only for him , but the same for all , the values such as he aspire to .
immediately after the announcement led it to that , for him , the ' invitation to act ' is .

the sortier - be smell in brno müllcontainer not well
in prague , people can the drinks packaging sorting , in the südmährischen villages will again be in step and enters the sortier - müllcontainer .
and in brno ?
there should be set aside a few minutes ago , in order to find the appropriate garbage can .
i will not say that the waste in brno would be not to operate at all .
but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all , through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
you have some time in the centre , for example , tried to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
the only position that i have accidentally found in up to now , is taken of the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka us its members are supposed to me , not get angry , but this is far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks of my friends sorting that is why the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration of offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately the straßenbahnfahren i came to the right place .
but almost on the waste expired .
this is but is still represents the centre of brno , thus making the whole city , is not true ? !
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they are buying a eishockeyliga prefer the city , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party in spite of the opinion of the government the farmers and officials , more money , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
the causes which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
the salary increase for some groups as the socialists and communists have enforced , they expect to see the government is the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition , borrows . ' that is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to the choice , where the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the , which gave money to the left party now more : the fire service , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
in order to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for the development of the lack of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
most received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or cancellation of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that it solves the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden , in which the state owners of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto expanded , and this money is also acting as a reserve for the planned pension reform .
with this trick rising in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau of 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion , the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we need to pay anyway , this makes janota clear .
the minister then needs to save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
a hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , is to allow the on- line to monitor , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
the first stage starts in january .
the finance ministers should find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .

it is , only to push a button enough , and in the change from windows mobile will within a few seconds android .
the american society wants to precisely such a possibility vmware imagine , which , above all on the development of the virtual softwares concentrated in favour of computers .
we allow them , on the mobile phone two anwenderprofile , at the same time , to carry out .
you can switch between this , you will be able to deal with those in two separate home - and arbeitsprofile .
both are work in parallel , indicated srinivas krishnamurti vmware of the company in the interview for the magazine computerworld to .
it was presented in november last year and a few days ago for the first time before .

schneemangel plaguing hotel owners on the mountains
scneelose runways make sorgenn not only the riesengebirgen - residents .
the lack of snow discourages people also of the appointment of the skiaufenthalte in hotels and pensions .
we can therefore in giant still free room for all wintertermine incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
our sides are often visited .
the people go through the offers , note the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint , binding .
and if you call us , you ask whether , in our opinion , this year 's christmas immediately to snow or ' , the operators will be on matsch " of the information spindl.info , martin jandura .
who the new year 's eve - wants to stay in the spindelmühle exactly according to his ideas , should not hesitate more with the appointment .
who preferred the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to make a few days to wait .
the spindelmühle - hotelbesitzer provide now for the silvestertag mostly only wochenaufenthalte in .
i think that you are going to try to ensure that , for a time to sell this , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .
and then the free room will quickly dwindle , jandura estimated .
free beds in all winterterminen always provides always also the travel agency ingtours in vrchlabi .
the us most interested in now weihnachtswoche , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the places still freely .
therefore , have we already have some cheaper weihnachtsaufenthalte prepared for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ingtours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant the vrchlabi - travel agency can also offer here , but there is less free seats .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining wintertermine be sold on average .
in this year is the interest for the winteraufenthalte also negatively affected by the fact that in giant is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
no one wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the runways within a week , will also be verschneit the christmas to be sold out , be schiefert says .
the other way round and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon in pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .
on silvestertag and christmas we only have a few free rooms .
there is a great deal of interest in the polish holidays in the janua , and in february , the business will also go well , informed the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
for 80 % of the silvesteraufenthalte is also the hotel omnia zentralparkplatz in janske lazne occupied .
on the other hand , to christmas will remain in the most recent hotel in janske lazne nor the half of the beds freely .
very pleasant surprise us in the january this year , for which we are already around 60 % occupied at the present time .
is a bit weaker the february in the meantime , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant , the director of the hotel omnia , erik sporysch .
waiting for a greater schneebescherung the giant mountains - hotelbesitzer now .
on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but it is intended to again a warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech wetteramtes in hradec kralove .
united states : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost strange , schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , with which the president with his reputation of the brightest , the strategy of his predecessor in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its afghanistan - awaited doctrine ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
on the following months showed , however , that the bush - of the recommendations of military personnel strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation has not been improved , because he has his successor objectively hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , as it was to be expected .
in afghanistan barack obama hopes of the fact that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten criticised the vacillating protect hard in the white house .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea , and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
from europe he has the commitment for another 5,000 pressed , at least with 10 000 , even if he originally expected .
to be of the whole obama strategy is highly problematic project , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan , as has already been in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also , despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama strategy by its voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .

the zweiundsiebzigjährige actor who played the prize for his role in the eastwood - drama receive from the boxbereich ' million dollars baby ' , had already been the leader of the movement on the abolition of slavery , from the end to - day slave has become , a fictitious us president , and also in ' evan omnipotent god , " but rarely , someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people , like mandela .
the former südafrikanischestaatsmann was for his active work in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was released in 1990 to undfür four years he was president of the country .
the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , which has been 1875 issued in the years .
the requirement to speak , as he was
the film , a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugbyteams , francois pienaar , zusammenschloss , in order to agree on the statute of the country . the new president mandela also know that his people after apartheid still remains shared rassenmäßig , as well as economically .
he believes that he be people through sport can agree , that is why he , the rugbyspieler decides , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .
finally , the south african team is rising by in the world of the year 1995 .
freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela - history on the cinema screens that .
he had no other aim than to play this role in this way , in order to move closer to the reality to this as closely as possible , said freeman .
the main challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
the actors has said , if he would be in the same country , and the world leader he would try to meet with mandela , with him to evening to eat , and in his speech to be behind the scenes .
for him , was the most important to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i say that the hand schüttele , i accept your energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
matt damon is in the film françois pienaar , captain of the national rugbyteams , in which the white players have triumphed .
the actors said that he has had six months time , prepare for the role in the hard rugbywelt .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first in his house .
i , as i remember the türklingel rang that he opened up to françois pienaar and the first thing i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .

lichtgeheimnis on norway dissolved , the russians have tested a missile
on norway was to see a particular lichteffekt of unknown origin .
the russian defense , only yesterday has admitted that an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested near the norwegian border .
the start , but not again was successful and the described as a type " bulava rocket , should be the originally the pride of the russian army , is beginning to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the raketetest has had no positive effect on the success of the probeflüge .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers , it is already on ' bulava ' as on a " missile , the not flying . "
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third raketenstufe .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious caused by an unspecified fliegendes object light on nordwegen was actually the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
the generals has not clearly opposed this diesesmal and claims that we can talk of a failure .
the first two stages of the missile were not from and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases were damaged the engines straight in the first phase .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for unsuccessful .
the almost 50 success met with optimism and so the generals will continue to say , therefore , that the " bulava " even without problems will be flying and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
the team of czech and the german scientists testing , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv viruses in the body .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
this fact outweigh against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus - variants is not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
the patients can the medikamentenzusammenstellung but extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
but their use will be accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the three institutions of the academy of sciences cr experts , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , is the responsible for proliferation of the hiv viruses .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links block the virus reproduction , in other ways than all the medicinal products used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new capitalism improved capitalism connections , on the basis of the knowledge of molekularmechanismus their commitment on the viruses - eiweißstoff were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , the from boron , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms , and by a metal - nuclear power , in this case cobalt , are linked .
heimtückisches and lasting virus
hiv protease is eiweißstoff of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would not tyres infektionsvirenpartikel arise .
if we eliminate the hiv protease tasks , we also in the body of the patients from the proliferation of the virus , explaining the scientists in the press release , by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry the academy of sciences cr has been issued .
in the work in the wissenschaftszeitung journal of medicinal chemistry was published , describing the scientists whole ranks of the links , in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked by a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
, but rather weaker reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won of hiv - infected patients .
the impact of the metalokarborane in the usual enzyme - variant is not so much , as in the medicines used clinically , however , will not lose their impact on the resistentvarianten , against the the medicines used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism , as well as their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and the possibility of further chemical shaping , power metalokarboranen interesting links for further research , addressed to the development of effective medicines against hiv says pavlina rezacova , leader of the laboratories for strukturbiologie of the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and of the institute for molecular genetics the academy of sciences .
dispute because budget . ods to fishermen , the does
the chairman of the ods mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime minister jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the statement from the czech ods the prime minister called a " strong statements are made . "
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
the deputy ods chairman , petr necas , said that the concept of beamtenkabinetts with the support of the , ods and cssd grünenpartei obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends , in parliament to be based on the minority , if it is the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parlamentlinken is .
the approach of the ods and the social democrats , on the issue of the public deficits is diametrically derogation , necas has already pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with linkpartei amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
the parliament has the money for staatsbeamtengehälter , for to the maintenance of social benefits , and for increased direct payments to farmers .
the government , the proposals of the social democrats told that it conceals the budget deficit increase .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is also the wish of the government , because the amended budget is only a less bad version of the budgetprovisoriums . frase need clear
disappointment and futility
the finance ministers , edvard janota , has spoken on his disappointment and a sense of futility , while prime minister jan fischer has mentioned , that the government the current situation still judged .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation for the case , that the amendments were adopted , would look different the situation .
in accordance with the czech television has janota for monday registered after the government with the prime minister .
he has indicated that he be considered further remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
the extent to which fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so that , in accordance with necas the nominanten of the social democracy ( cssd ) , the amendments in the budget enforced , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime minister will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue to enhance deficit - laws , for example , the , concerning the sickness and pensions , or the dienstgesetzesnovelle .
topolanek : the nominated by ods ministers were wrong not
it is a matter of the prime minister , fishermen and the whole government .
the nominated by the ods ministers have not made mistakes , has stressed topolanek in a textmeldung from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some of the ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against the deficit - level of public finances to renounce , ' it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then it is supposedly with the support and civic tolerance can count not .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i shall be dealing with it , the nominated by the civil defence minister martin said bartak the journalists in parliament .
prime minister fishermen afternoon on the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
at the same time , necas stressed that the ods probably on wednesday , in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime minister of the members of the civic would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , then , we are not small children , so he responded to the question of whether the ods by their absence in the political negotiation on the budget of the leader of the party in parliament as well as in the czech republic has not been reduced .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .
already renounced the mandate when i , i knew that it in next few months of the parliament and , above all , to bolshevism destruction everything would be positive , responded topolanek itself .

the first impfdosis must be made between the 3 and 5 months old of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
the parents paid 1600 kroner and more for a dose .
for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses required .
in the whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen spend sek 300 , 000 to 450 000 per year .
they save but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has spent for all flächenimpfungen of children around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
pneumokokken mittelohrentzündung , but also cause serious infections including gehirnhautentzündungen and blutvergiftung .

the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .

the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors have to buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical paediatricians , the concerns the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original plans should be the vaccines bought by the insurance and the doctors who receive this at the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
a number of members feared , however , that the insurance as ' the money from the krankenversicherungherausführen could ' .
the doctors buy the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance , you pay for them .
according to the estimates , the individual practical doctors will need to invest sek 40 000 per month , which is a significant amount of money .
this will not be easy , cabrnochova says .

still you and we
the islam can be french ?
in a secular state , pluralism and pragmatism .
in a time for a ban on building in the swiss electorate voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
a number of readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country on one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
he not only , as a good anthropologist , would like to know what the politicians and the media , on the islam say in france , but what really happens in the area .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
it is a good listener , it is again debates between teachers and students about the issues , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs marry a man non- ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is this seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims , the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars and academics who was born in switzerland .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
the conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists , questioned the bowen salafi with their counterparts , are often divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
it is to what extent french into political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
it is a sign of that muslims may a rougher treatment as catholics , protestants and jews , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
it recognises a ' stricter werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
the islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
the ice is disappearing , the it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .

admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich to sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears , which have been caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .
even today zooanlagen still typically have a millionth of the environment of a wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was absolutely by the green algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .

ironically , in the waters of the north of these two jagdnationen will remain the ice the longest .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) offers alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and , as a packenden insight into the future could develop .
not all the answers that scientists have .
neither atmosphärenwissenschaftler nor ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
the certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome last week good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
although the district of washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local level , as well as national level .
the average scoring the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only rose by three points from 209 to 212 .
in reality , between 2007 and 2009 , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
the average scoring white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
the gap , which separated white and black viertklässler 2003 , as the first naep has been covered in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the points have achieved , the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
last week some bildungsbefürworter of the district expressed their concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this intimates that we the gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is difficult and problematic , jeff smith said , member of the board of dc voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message the prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
of course you would like to always see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we for our mittelschule must use .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of the reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey be brought to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep - progress have been reported , attributed to the last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , which are under the notenniveau , said rhee .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and can provide the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education to the university of california at berkeley , of the urban audit work .
the conventional cure is , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
we must strengthen our schools in the areas , so that all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 days , in order to have the strength to change , janey said , the last year with its teachers to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
university education for more people than future
the coach achieved the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have little to the end of the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silver spring and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching costs usd 38.690 per year , was the a ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , rather than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
" wow , really ? " she said to food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to the college .
the question is , where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school diploma was sufficient not end or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary in the middle class , in order .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , most came from mexico and central america , in the united states , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
, assess the powerful children , those who say that this often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but beratungsprogramme also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help in college to come , especially if these efforts continue on a long period of time .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills to help them in the wegsuche by the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanoamerikanische students examined .
we must think about , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school diploma was sufficient available .
the bundesprogramm , had financed the tour gracielas college , is a useful example .
it is known as the gear up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch , the college - vorbereitungsprogramme begin , if low - income pupils in the mittelschule are continuing and , until you have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
in accordance with the us department for education the programme has since 1999 helped more than 10 million pupils , 60 % of whom more than in college are gone .

in iran are no good opportunities for election , he said in response to the question of soldiers the likelihood of such a development .
' one of the things that are on the soul to me , is that if we in the last six years have learned something from the iraq , the the war own unpredictability . "
the obama government prefers a sanktionspaket in recital , which aims at iran 's political and military elite , but also the gates has announced that some sanctions durchschnittsiraner might affect .
he said that a " package of positive incentives and disincentives ' is necessary to ' in order to convince the iranian government that , in reality , they with nuclear arms is less protected ' , because " their people monsters ' will suffer under the sanctions .

gates urged both sides , to reduce the potential for conflict , in order to prevent delays of the us plans , the american troops , up until the end of august of 115 000 to 50 , 000 to reduce .
gates also sought , to dispel the kurdish concern on the forthcoming a withdrawal of troops . us representatives to masood barzani , quoted gates , the president of the kurdish regional government , has said : ' we will their security , prosperity and their autonomy within a united iraq .

a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propagandaplakaten on , the ' mother earth to you considered that lectures , that is tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer , suddenly , began to change the course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their response immediately and finally was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , said a personalleiterin with an 8 - month old son .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen einzelkindern , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced , is a bevölkerungskrise in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance is with educated population in rich coastal cities , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child has been a per - couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and the labour force of the future to alleviate ' .
shanghai will soon be ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual easing
in the country 's constitution in 1978 enshrined , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , which are in breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have a number of officials , pregnant women , the already had a child , forced abortion .
many couples had also geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials have recently discussed even on radical amendments , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , almost overnight of directives have been replaced , which describe in detail , who for a second child into question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
the town hall has urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than have a child .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against a wish to second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the community of huinan with a population of as an example still go up 115 000 per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- a little higher than in 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give their first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy falsely as a question of human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , the personalleiterin , has said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight and they want to see no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .

the united states will not sign up to an agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , also the lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .

the current fight refers also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , so ulate , as the regional is klimawandelberater working for conservation internationally in mexico and central america .

britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
on monday morning at 5 in the 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a zugabfahrt a pipe , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin pendlerservices from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
in theory believe the three large parties in this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage could in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the preferred option proposed is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and the other in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the journeys would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned , so that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this would mean that a terminus in london would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be extended to the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
the trains should first of all the high - speed lines to existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the route between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

the interest rate of duncans rbs - mortgage has not changed during this time , which suggests , for the whole of the increase to the financing of the borrow money from £ 75 000 ( eur 85 000 ) served .

and i would have the whole damned sum can demand , but i am not doing it . '
the member from his previous career , millionaire as ölgroßhändler , the first time in may was attacked because of its expenditure , when it became clear that he had demanded thousands of pounds for his garden , before he had checked with the fees office that this ' could be regarded as excessive demand . "
an activist , as a protest in duncans lawn a hole in the form of a pfundzeichens dug , after it became known that he £ 4 000 over three years ( eur 4 500 ) had demanded .
last night , when he was asked about the increased mortgage , duncan : " this was said by both the fees office , as well as point following legg to value have been approved . "
he added : ' there is no risk of a debate on avoid and durchschlängeln or a bend the rules or similar .
everything is totally transparent and moved strictly within the rules is approved and everything .
it could not be clearer and clean . "

mr hervé morin announces publicly his intention , to take this udf seals , since it is of the opinion that not worthy françois bayrou would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
the minister of defense , whose parteipartner the ump is , incidentally , wanted to this strategy before the national council of the nc to reaffirm on saturday .
on the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now received in nc ) , with the right to the property of the brand udf , since it as a first 2004 this mark of the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the geschäftstelle collapsed of françois bayrou 's friends supervised alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave to understand that they could not expropriate , and the minister , and to the members under the threat of a judicial persecution to use a deadline , not more this seals and their to be transferred to the property rights of the brand .
you have made in the last days many statements that you would propose their political movement , take the udf siegelzu + + , wrote the parties , in a letter signed by 19 of the 24 büromitglieder , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of the centrist alliance .
they believed that they have the right , the name , i believe , this movement + + + nouveau centre , the slogans of today 's udf + , on their political material , as well as possible to be on the start of their website .
as you know , you have no entitled to the use of this siegels , declared the secretariat of the udf , and calls on the party nc ' immediately the reference to the name udf from sämtlichem material , as well as by ( its ) website to remove ' .
also we called for by mr hervé de charette , " the property rights of the be transferred to their legal anspruchsberechtigen ' brand .
if you deny this , we will be complaint against they impose , in order to give the law , respect for and in order to defend the legitimate rights of the udf members , warned the undersigned .
in her letter you stress that ' udf ' since 1978 is a fully - fledged political movement and would remind you that morin and its friends " have made the choice ' to leave this 2007 , in order to create a competing movement , as has already been done by other 2002 had , in order to create the party ' ump ' .
the party nouveau centre has therefore , according to the undersigned , of any rights , the udf label ( union pour la démocratie française ) to use .
they continue to recall that the last congress of the udf , led to three - year accession to the modem party in 2007 and the creation of a secretariat for the defence ' of material and moral interests " of the set up by valéry giscard d'estaing movement , has adopted .
what mr hervé de charette is concerned , the secretariat , is continued , " he was at the time , when he has asked for the brand name , for three years now no longer a member of the udf ' , but the ump .
he benefited on scandalous and fraudulent way , by the lack of the deposit of acronym udf , in order to implement this for themselves .
they continue to be on the best ways to bear in mind that this recklessness is to turn in a criminal offence , and ironisieren the strategy of nc : ' it appears to us , but in the policy , as well as in the life dignified , themselves to make a name , rather than to try to come from the anonymity , it is , in fraudulent way appropriates a name , has to be no legal rights ' .

revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for over a decade ago , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place given ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
the demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
this demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future vision ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company on an equal footing alongside the customers .
the very conditional use internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , encourage this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i am afraid not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after many roundabout way finally priority concerned , the , ... to do what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and , finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take by intellectuals comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " revived unwittingly , far - reaching and of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
therefore , and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of managing a fundamental minutes : for the wage is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
at the moment accept only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place .
so , you will create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

can the schneeeinbruch come
a properly knackigen winter , it is , what is wolfgang brauburger wishes .
not because it wants to bully the citizen , says the winterdienstleiter the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole of the vehicle technology can learn try and control .
at the weekend might be so far it according to the weather forecast for the first time .
more than 330 staff and 120 vehicles are prepared to take care of , in order to snow and ice .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
as soon as it in frankfurt snow cover and the level zero temperatures , 20 will have the so-called a - routes with großstreufahrzeugen boat , brauburger explained to us .
this includes some hauptverkehrs and transit such as the new way and the hanauer roads .

therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are free , until the launching berufsverkehr ' .
it will be difficult , if it only at 7.30 in snow .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , feed - and are erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
the final priority have sides - and roads .
there will be complaints there , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings are removed as a priority .

since it would give to glätte is quickly on this , as soon as the temperature falls below two degrees , which streuer .
this will also be called by the police , if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science on thursday .
the animal were living in today 's new mexico around 215 million years ago , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on in the north of the ghost ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
the researchers quickly as new identified some of the bones .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals together .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . "
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation is this ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
it is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae found the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you have also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column seems partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and most savage theropode with luftsäcken , randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of huge sauropoden also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
therefore early separated the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , the at the time still as superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
the three can not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says today .
his opinion , a distorted picture , because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while little is to be found in other continents .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still puzzling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat , with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with a number of other echsen .
at the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species , while the affinities ausstarb on the border of the i of the law .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs happen , but not the other reptiles .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped 150 million years later a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which are also already in the i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .

stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 is not set high enough .
for the supporters of the project , it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe end up with lines , the in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed forward umzuspannen , locomotives in the back .
simultaneously , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe should disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will , in fact , now tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , are no longer compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that , in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city , it is almost impossible to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
the railways power with , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , of - the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - believes that it will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail .
a good eur six billion , in the schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
a total of 60 greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the development of the good 180 kilometres route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
would be necessary , as a matter of urgency , to push to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
the rheintalstrecke will on the real bottleneck for the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the national government has in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs [ hessischer rundfunk ] ( vgh ) will go to banning night flights in revision .

the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
the opposition criticized this postponement and to urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision of the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their before the election promise made to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is hellishly difficult , if we must keep his word , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in reference to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , are the statements of its never have been group to banning night flights .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
the vote on the personalie body wanted yesterday evening .
the favorite was peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the sender , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - intendanten markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine of the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
in two weeks ago schächter was with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages are in favour of brender , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already signalled , brender not to want to confirm in office .
had the organised resistance against the koch editor of the hessische prime minister roland .
with the argument that would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
there were therefore protests until shortly before the election , in which the political influence has been plaguing the zdf .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and in the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .

the greens , after the defeat brenders announced , on wednesday , has been elected by the branchenblatt medium magazine the journalists of the year , a complaint of unconstitutionality .
koch adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that personalvorschläge of intendanten cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
a withdrawal of party from the colleges of supervisors of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move - by the body immediately after the brender - stepping down , strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of president of the chefredakteurs and also the management board to choose , without in the suspicions , a partisan to coax into office .
in the parteiarithmetik will frey already classified as the liberal left - wing .

since the beginning of the student protest in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule , with only a test , " it is in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction in prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should be a stop to ' drift , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' must also be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' , whether the students ' unnecessary einengungen in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
the rules should apply in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses of study .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .

the studiengestaltung is to be more flexible , the recognition of leistungsnachweisen other universities must also be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master .

the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with a bachelor conclusion allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .
the countries need to clear more lecturers stop .
to a freer access to the masters , however , does not culture .
more than a footnote to herta müller
in germany and from comment is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the anfangszeile of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this issue in troubling sprachfetzen ankunftserfahrung of dissidents , the freedom won , but , at the same time , has lost his language .
the 1951 born in the romanian banat werner söllner had first of all , as german and englischlehrer - worked in a kinderbuchverlag in bucharest and , later , editor , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner is with various literaturpreisen he was excellent . in 1993 , the legendary frankfurter poetikvorlesungen at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessian literaturforums [ hessischer rundfunk ] in mousonturm in frankfurt .
for considerable außerliterarisches attention , he during a meeting in munich last tuesday , in the ' german literature in romania in the mirror and zerrspiegel their securitateakten ' .
report visibly confused and move söllner read out a statement , in which he before rumäniendeutschen schriftstellerkollegen , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth frauendorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian securitate security admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner in 1989 the german sprachpreis received .
the anwerbungsversuche have started by stealth , first 1971 .
so i am , closed söllner , ' someone who has campaigned against attempts to intimidate the securitate not enough . "
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the property of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , as far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
in its securitate - acts have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all the sensitive points at the time for him , " markel bailed out ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , speculation and will also have known , which in some case klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
a systematic information is thwarted in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate birthler authority - files ( cnsas ) has been set up in 1999 , the launch of files has been rather slow since then however .
there is a law only since 2005 , regulates the the administration of files .
the influence that former securitate - members in romania is still a very large , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate - head from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
the power of the infamy said is able to express quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? who was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .
sättigungsbeilage champions league
it felt , as would be because it is precisely a smart gekleideter außendienstler by a very nice christmas , on the a sports goodies had distributed , as the new vfb - coach of the christian gross in monitoring of a orange plastic bag ausrüsters a quarter after midnight in a herbeigerufene c - class rose . ¨
the man with the marked glatze was because of the city that he still alien chauffieren .
otherwise it would also be able to travel itself - alcohol , after all was not of the game , and besoffen luck was the 55 - year old just as little .

or not get right .
in the words of only three days before committed swiss : ' we have the 8 ' , that is , in the champions league achieved thanks to the 3:1 - success against unirea urziceni from romania , " but we must not let ourselves be blinded by the success : it will be a brutally hard fight against the decline .

the pleasure , on the fulminanten commencement of the babbel - successor remained so behaviour .
not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives had .
i am on the players received , and i have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , declared seelenklempner gross just sounding recipe for success that , under the therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .
he has sparked a certain magic , babbel - was in favour of jens lehman , ' if in football is a new impulse , sometimes things happen , would have kept the they are not in favour of possible ' .
and the weeks after verletzungspause sami khedira , thanks to its dynamism straight to the best players found on the place wake , tried this phenomenon ' and ' with the proverbial " fresh wind of the operation of the new to describe superiors : ' he is a man who requires action and discipline .
this is what we need in the current situation . "

and sportvorstand horst heldt warned that , although a saisonziel been achieved , but the other is still far off .

there is , the other decisions and not the jens , countered heldt the harsh criticism lehmanns .
the had shown and the accused of the board leadership trainerwechsel pubertierender fans i have decided to pressure .

lehmanns statements are " characterised by minded egotism , " keilte heldt back and consequences for the schlussmann announced .
you will no longer friends for life , the two 40 years .
after all , but with all the other , they have agreed that , without the preparatory work by the abgelöste trainerteam playing the strong and combative idea would not have been possible .
babbel and his assistants have " a large proportion of the success ' , said heldt and lehman voices - and also the man who agreed to with the plastic bag .

blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes paint pictures , or to write novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , madness and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in the different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
even if the trigger and effect may , the different visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of neural , of the brain - above all , dopamin , , serotonin and noradrenaline acetylcholin derailment - and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
the force of gravity has no more about him power
the context of madness and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , stated 1861 a " great similarity of the irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no more about him power , it is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
it senses enters a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting him , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain on the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer bear them , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet you attached to a noose and to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loudspeaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
too .
the noose is disappearing .
the vote you should be a lesson the cry out ' go in the clinic in trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , and let you cure ' .
today is henning t. 40 years old , it is six acute psychosis seen , the last is 2 years back , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
in the worst fear and deepest despair psychosis i have seen , he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill at least once in the life of schizophrenia , in psychiatric clinics , it will be treated as second disease after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected more often than not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - , can lead relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
such as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten come from .
the perceive reality in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says professor thomas fox , general psychiatry oberarzt the clinic in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar overwhelmed dream , of what is happening and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich you is often not possible , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
the obsession thoughts and in reality , the verfremdung based hallucinations of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of the mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , is also the first manifestiere does not even for many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
if our brain hotly is
the stupidity is , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get them , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
this includes mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so castes , from the gedächtnisinhalten , which normally be withheld .
they arise , when areas in which have sensory are processed , are blocked überaktiv or too little ; if our brains also hotly is or , if stimulation is lacking .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - vorpommern visited and the secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
it can happen that in the break a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair addresses it .
if it responds to the classmates look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
you believe that the timid girls for a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as the girls in the bank in addition , they can see and hear .
you can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
i am crazy ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening
the mere empty words are often also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other visual and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you waiting for the sleep in their dark room , which is , of course , far too rarely and come too late , it can often not distinguish between , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
nothing of the parents and friends told you would think it is crazy .
autumn of 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has in the last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
in a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you contact with the psychologists castes , on the internet , you know that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likelihood , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , as you began with 13 learned that the man that they can daddy calls , since they thinking , is not their leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
at night images also sees caste as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients , therefore , that the hallucinations also value as a special ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and psychotherapy chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness is also a work of art out of desperation .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself - and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in the reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to a standstill .
a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears visited foreign times and places : they experience as a zugsanatoriums bettlägerigen , old mann , on board , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks on the motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
it is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in the memory .
this internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is a other state , be he describes see .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
the intensity of this erlebens goes beyond the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
at the end of the day , show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch , how fragile our internal reflections of external reality also in the ensure are .
any change of the bewusstseinszustandes , to summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of reality , what we call ' .
a experience , the well can also be enriching .

mazda3 i stop : environmentally - friendly athleticism
mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , introduced on the behalf i - stop , at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats provide an excellent good ergonomics and stop good .
it is also the game of lenkrads excellent .
in view of the unity , the further out of the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colours red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
therefore , can easily be said that , both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , both converted japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by its quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who drive not many kilometres a year , this should stop with petrol engines i - whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model sportive selected a special , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung has .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .
auβerdem includes this version still , as if it not yet enough of resources , the package premium , which would be for an additional eur 1 500 contains the following : in addition to further elements , above all , the lernfähigen bixenon - headlamps and the soundsystem bose with cd - lader .
conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also buy the i - stop version , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
the only be negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day in the new highest fahrspass .
a first with a great deal of ' glamour '
l. example is the red tepppich the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
in the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy . ( photographs , more than ever before : gtresonline ) .
our ' pe ' , so elegantly , as always , opted for a dark " lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is limited äuβerst , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without a possibility , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time chose to one of the products of the year .
it is on the straβe to see , is unlikely to be , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little , and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success of that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same borders , however , as his american counterpart , has a surprise crisis .
the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 the month , roaming includes for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , know already , what it means , on all the data must to do , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , we need already a doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe were almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small device as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the behalf fon , even though it does not have a wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as offering the peek already in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the telephone read .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , with the same time a computer system able to see .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , was the clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes are very different in the stoffart , from which they are prepared .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten along with .
the accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time , although a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
the discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their motherhood .
the study , open , that there is a very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of profession they exercise .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house not carry out other work , only part-time work or no fixed contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast , the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer to achieve this , and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem also has the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " says the csic - researcher , margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey the age is the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be found in the same age women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
in addition , there is still , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way around and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .
it is the also value of diane kruger

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of fuenlabrada walking , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the just six kilo is , and then you from the blue missed him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
it is not our outrage in words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
in addition to the erstickungsanfall that a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , as it wanted to these people because of the reprimanding incident , it feared even for their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with every make , of the weaker than it is in itself .
the incident occurred in a normally calm neighbourhoods in a very ordinary tuesday at five o'clock in the afternoon .
the dog has the whole day geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we can not to understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animals fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
we know not where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of vans rising to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for light something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that they are so that the first increase at all after 22 with constant decline , gemäβ the successive months by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 , which are particularly bad verkausjahr with a 60 % decline in respect of the previous year was .
we must remember , however , that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , but all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds what impact the demand in the most , because even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in the purchase nearly 100 % of all cases with a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and , in the difference to cars that have the financial support for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday had ganvam again remind you that , it is absolutely necessary , is also a special emphasis on the part of the state in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
the autohändlervereinigung predicted for the year 2010 as the just last a similar year , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
in fact , they are already duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , but to improve the protection of the fuβgänger , can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical bremsmanövers , which the system by the bremsstärke outlined by the drivers on the brake recognises , to exercise .
however , this system is not until the end of this pressure .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the bremshilfe against intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and bremsabstand , therefore , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss already is inevitable , is the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .

nick reilly , the new chairman of gm europe , namely wants to achieve that the side affected their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , that first , the workers , and then there are the governments of the countries , in which it works , will be presented until will postpone in early 2010 .
dementgegen will by gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
since it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
to , gm are to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
an this buyers could be geely , which also would like to buy up volvo , however , the skyper - the option of dutch manufacturer sports , which has the backing of the russian group converg , attracting an ever - greater .

at the wheel of the porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now only 1.275 kilos brings to the balance .
in order to create something renunciation , as a first , you on the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a zeltleinwanddach with manuellem impetus , so that we alone has , thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning 13 once again ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilos have been reduced ; saved by the installation of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also been exacerbated by the renunciation of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe achieved by the lack of kilo handles from substance .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
the reduction of its weight , but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since we have already not long more as a small and light model probegefahren , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed .
it is a small athlete , to be able to flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car power everything , with our hands what we him the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he makes it with the precision of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very have been able and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that the motorgeräusche can change , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable brutally , regardless of whether from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , quite was already damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route almost nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trends of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found this morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a car , with which to indescribable fahrspass has , as it otherwise it is rather rare and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 in his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group of the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 of the assessment ) .
the team from vitoria could the significant defaults of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace teamwork , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great right from the perimeter with 16 rated triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory .
the game began with the leadership of the blauroten , which is from the outset the tip of the anzeigentafel .
since the first four baskets of the team from vitoria already came from the perimeter out , we have already guess that they had come to the playing field with reheated handgelenken well .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , in order further to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic began as the best of his team with 13 points , to highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the mote can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer once again remind you that not everyone on their level playing field wins , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' attack time and again they came back to the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , a few prepare gambits with accuracy had to once again , in order to get air and in one of them the suddenly emerged gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that on the anzeigentafel by ( 54 - einberuhigender distance to 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen were in the last quarter of bloβgestellt and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although mote because fouls being the place was asked , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended well and although the israelis nor in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a victors and tel aviv for the first time in this season .
violations prevented that unicaja stood up to was
unicaja lost loudly in greece against olympiacos and the leadership in the group had to b of the euroliga to him to resign and the in a game , by the defaults on the part of the players of unicajas ( freeland , lima and archibald ) , in particular , the innenspiel , was marked , what the victory of facilitating the greeks .
the team from malaga had neither fear the mood in the warehouse of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to their shackles game in first quarter andalusians were allowed to start to dream . a aggresive defence and three consecutive three times , two by omar cook and one by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 - in the 9 minute .
olympiacos was of the intensity of the ereins unicaja surprised , even if the local team with a innenspiel between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the anzeigentafel in the 13 minute 22 - 20 in their favour anzeigte , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to the affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and which is why both disqualified have been .
the greek team began , warm weather at last to be , and its superiority on both spielhälften , while the departure of the englishman , mr joel freeland as a result of a violation of , and the three itself mistake by carlos jiménez caused significant traces in the unicaja hinterlieβen .
under its players in the innenfeld and the lithuanian vorspieler linas kleizas , with its triple , they increased its advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .
a race was impossible
the third spielviertel was characterised by many attacks against the team of olympiacos from , despite its 19 losses consider showed and even managed , the difference of fought in malaga game with 66 to offset - 48 in the twenty - seventh minute , again , with regard to the leadership fluctuate within the group to produced .
unicaja tried , on the many defaults and the departure of the injured scots robert archibald ignore during the game .
in spite of the many disadvantages for the unicaja , in the 31 minute thanks to the leadership and the triple from mr cook and the use of lewis again some hope to - 57 66 .
nevertheless , it was impossible , as the olympiacos , as soon as he attack and its superiority with centimeters within the korbbereichs showed , was not to slow down .
the croatian captain nikola vujcic managed in the 37 minute , the rising korbdifferenz on 81 - 62 and the leadership anolympiacos unicaja had to be beaten and had to resign .

many thanks !
after the tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets the prevailing mood on the markets has been returned , on the markets is the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , since this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker take decisions on an inherently uncertain future .
it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , to pay the debt with the direktkauf of assets and indirectly to let the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of the countries of the euro area to germany .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
on the other hand , a degree of uncertainty is detrimental not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , once again had tried , in the leaders of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits had led to the loss of jobs , slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , via a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
a government , which conceals the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made in italy there berlusconi and sócrates in portugal , mr barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens to the need for auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts are , it would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same speed as the european unternehmensboni increase .
but should reduce the differences between the european and are , to continue to increase the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the volume of this early indicators a groβteil of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not long life span .
once again , it is the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as ' caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the subcommittee of the parliament , where in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , some stichpunkte galán the press was about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola , however , is of the opinion that we should not invest more in an increase in the energy , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , on the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more are needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by other ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national kohleverbrauch to create , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions to the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle them .

the sortier - be smell in brno müllcontainer not well
in prague , people can the drinks packaging sorting , in the südmährischen villages will be back on step and enters the sortier - müllcontainer .
and in brno ?
there should be set aside a few minutes ago , in order to find the appropriate garbage can .
i am not trying to say that the waste separation in brno would be unable to operate at all .
but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always dispose of not only on paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
tries you have some time in the centre , for example , to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
accidentally found in the only position that until now i have taken , is the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka us his colleagues should not get angry , but that strikes me far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks for this reason , my friends sorting the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately i came in the straßenbahnfahren in the right place .
ran the waste but almost on .
this is but is still the centre of brno , thus making the whole city is represented , not true ?
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they are buying , the city a eishockeyliga , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party despite the view of the government gave money to the farmers and officials , more , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
caused the which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
than the socialists and communists the salary increase for some groups have enforced , they expect to see the government is the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition borrows . " this is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to choice , where take , the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the , which gave money to the left party now more : the fire department , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for lack of development of the motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
legs received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that solves it the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden of , with which the state owner of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto stocked and this money is also acting as a reserve for the planned pension system .
growing with this trick in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau by 5.7 % gdp .
ends in the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion fell the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we must which pay anyway , is janota clear .
then the minister , we must save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
one hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , that is intended to supervise , on- line to allow , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
launching the first stage in january .
should the finance ministers find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and come in this case , sanctions janota warned .

preferred who the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to make a few days to wait .
offer the spindelmühle - hotelbesitzer now for the silvestertag mostly only wochenaufenthalte in .
i think that you are going to try to ensure that , for a time to sell this , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .

free beds in all winterterminen always provides must always be the travel agency ingtours in vrchlabi .
interested in now the us most weihnachtswoche , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the places still freely .
therefore , have we already have some cheaper weihnachtsaufenthalte prepared for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ingtours , petr schiefert .

good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining wintertermine , an average of sold .
in this year is the interest for the winteraufenthalte also negatively affected by the fact that in giant is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
nobody wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .

united states : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost funny , with what schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , the president with its reputation of the brightest , his predecessor 's strategy in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally his awaited doctrine in afghanistan , ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq " that he has even the name of the bush statement of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
showed , however , that the subsequent months of the recommendations of military personnel outgoing bush strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation has not been improved , because he has his successor objectively hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , as it was to be expected .
barack obama in afghanistan hopes , that the miracle repeatedly .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal the , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten vacillating protect in the white house hard criticised .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
pressed from europe he has the promise of another 5,000 , even if he himself at least with 10 000 , originally expected .
highly problematic to be of the whole obama strategy is projects to withdraw the troops from afghanistan even in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare the afghan security forces which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of obama - strategy surprised by his voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .
from the political view is the datumssetzung for redeployment mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as will enter into the indirect confession the american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to apply to the combat to participate in afghanistan , is running out .
europe politicians can and want to also not explain to their voters , the way in which the security germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush - gebirgsvorland connected .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions in the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises , whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this is a question that has to be answered in the period , in which america after obama to proceed siegerabzug from afghanistan .
any solution will but also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only sticking - plaster for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore is still enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove totalausfall would .

similar steps is also preparing france .

mandela was in the new film by clint eastwood of morgan freeman played
claim that the new hollywood movie the south africans ' invictus : the ungeschlagene " of the world much of the country shows , whose fight and win despite some criticisms that the principal role was occupied by an american actors .
tells the story of sport , rassenverhältnissen and on nelson mandela .
the tireless campaigner against the racist apartheid government in the south african republic , as well as its first black presidents , nelson mandela , is in his life , american oscar - actors , morgan freeman , .
freeman said that he was asked by the einundneunzigjährigen mandela , whether he in the eastwood movie could constitute it .
a further significant role matt damon .
play i said to him : ' if you are i will , i must you take .
the zweiundsiebzigjährige actor who played the prize for his role in the eastwood - drama from the boxbereich ' million dollars had been given baby ' , was already the leader of the movement towards the abolition of slavery , from the has become the finally , to - day slave , a fictitious us president , and also in ' evan omnipotent god , " but rarely , someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people , like mandela .
the former südafrikanischestaatsmann was for his active work in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was in 1990 to released undfür four years he was president of the country .
the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , which was issued in years 1875 .
the requirement to speak , as he was
outlines the film a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugbyteams , francois pienaar , zusammenschloss , in order to agree on the statute of the country . the new president mandela also know that his people after apartheid still remains shared rassenmäßig and economically .
he believes that he be people through sport can agree , that is why he , the rugbyspieler decides , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .
finally , the south african team is rising by in the world of the year 1995 .
freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela - history on the cinema screens that .
he had no other aim than to play this role in this way , in order to move closer to the reality to this as closely as possible , said freeman .
the main challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
the actors has said , if he would be in the same country , and the world leader he would try to meet with mandela , with him to evening to eat , and in his speech to be behind the scenes .
was the most important for him , to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i say that the hand schüttele , i accept your energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
matt damon is in the film françois pienaar , captain of national rugbyteams , in which the white players prevailed have .
the actors said that he has had six months time , prepare for the role in the hard rugbywelt .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first in his house .
i , as i remember the türklingel rang that he opened up and the first thing to françois pienaar , which i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .

dissolved lichtgeheimnis on norway , the russians have tested a missile
via norway was a special lichteffekt unknown origin to observe .
the russian defense , only yesterday has admitted that near an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested the norwegian border .
but , again the launch was not successful and the described as a type " bulava rocket , should be the originally the pride of the russian army , is beginning to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the raketetest has had no positive effect on the success of the probeflüge .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers writes we already debating the ' bulava ' as on a " missile , the not flying ' .
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third raketenstufe .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious caused by an unspecified fliegendes object light on nordwegen was really the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubted that it is a russian missile .
has the generals diesesmal opposed this and claims that it does not clearly can talk of a failure .
were not from the first two stages of the missile and by the accident was affected only the third stage .
in the previous cases were the equally engines in the first phase damaged .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for unsuccessful .
met the almost 50 success that is why the generals with optimism and it will continue to claimed that the ' bulava ' once without problems will be flying and even until ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
testing the team of czech and the german scientists , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv - viruses on the organism .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
outweigh this fact against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus variants not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
aids can be cured not yet the disease .
the patients can the medikamentenzusammenstellung but extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
their use will but accompanied by a whole number of side effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the experts from three institutions of the academy of sciences cr , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , the for proliferation of the hiv viruses responsible is .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
blocking these links the virus reproduction , in other ways than all the medicinal products used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new capitalism improved capitalism connections , the on the basis of the knowledge of molekularmechanismus their commitment at the viruses - eiweißstoff were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , the from boron , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms , and by a metal - nuclear power , in this case cobalt , are linked .
heimtückisches and lasting virus
protease hiv is eiweißstoff of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would not tyres infektionsvirenpartikel arise .
if we switch off the hiv protease , do we shift gear also in the body of the patients from the proliferation of the virus , explaining the scientists in the press release , by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry the academy of sciences cr has been issued .
in the work which in the wissenschaftszeitung journal of medicinal chemistry was published , the scientists whole ranks of the links in order to describe two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked by a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
, but rather weaker reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won of hiv - infected patients .
the impact of the metalokarborane in the usual enzyme - variant is not so much , as in the medicines used clinically , however , will not lose their effects on the resistentvarianten , against the the medicines used are often ineffective .
's unique mechanism , as well as their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and the possibility of further chemical shaping , power metalokarboranen to interesting links for further research , focused on the development of effective medicines against hiv says pavlina rezacova , head the laboratories for strukturbiologie the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and of the institute for molecular genetics the academy of sciences .
dispute because budget . ods to fishermen , the does
the chairman of the ods , mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime minister jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the statement from the czech ods the prime minister called a " strong statements are made . "
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
ods the vice - chairman , petr necas , said that the concept of beamtenkabinetts with the support of the cssd , ods and grünenpartei obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends , in parliament to be based on the minority , when it comes to the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parlamentlinken is .
from the czech ods and the social democrats 's approach to the issue of public deficits is diametrically derogation , necas has already pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with linkpartei amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
parliament has the money for staatsbeamtengehälter , for to the maintenance of social benefits , and for direct payments to farmers increased .
has the government in the proposals of social democracy told that it conceals the budget deficit increase .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is the wish of the government , because the amended budget is also just complied with a less bad variant of budgetprovisoriums . frase need clear
disappointment and futility
of the finance ministers , edvard janota , has spoken on his disappointment and a sense of futility , while prime minister jan fischer has mentioned , that the government the current situation still judged .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation for the case , that the amendments were adopted , the situation would look different .
in accordance with the czech television has janota for monday registered after the government with the prime minister .
he has indicated that he be further considered remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
address the extent to which fishermen for the further fight with the budget - deficit in favour , so in accordance with necas have the nominanten social democracy , ( cssd ) , which imposed the changes in the budget , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime minister will make it clear that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue deficit - boosting laws , for example , the , concerning the sickness pay and pensions , or the dienstgesetzesnovelle .
topolanek : the nominated by ods ministers were wrong not
that is the job of the prime minister , fishermen and the whole government .
the nominated by the ods ministers have not made mistakes , has stressed topolanek in a textmeldung from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some of the ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against the deficit - level of public finances to renounce , ' , it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then it is supposedly with the support and civic tolerance can not expecting .
i have not thought about it , and if the agenda will be , i will then be dealing with it , said the of the civic nominated defence minister martin bartak the journalists in parliament .
premier fishermen afternoon the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
necas at the same time , stressed that the ods probably on wednesday , in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime minister of the members of the civic would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , we are not small children , so it will be on the question of whether the ods then responded by their absence in the political negotiation on the budget of the leader of the party in parliament as well as in the czech republic has not been reduced .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .
renounced the mandate already than i , i knew that it in next few months of the parliament and above all bolshevism destruction everything would be positive , responded topolanek itself .

1600 kroner and more for a dose paid the parents .
needed for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses .
as a whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
save you but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .

the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .

the ministry of health does not want to change but the impfverfahren against pneumokokken .

buy the doctors the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance you pay for them .

this will not be easy , says cabrnochova .

still you and we
can the islam french be ?
pluralism and pragmatism in a secular state .
at a time when the swiss electorate for a ban on building voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamicisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
some readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love " ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country through more than one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to exercise today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
as a good anthropologist would he not only like to know what the politicians and the media say about islam in france , but what happens in the field really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
he is a good listener , it gives debates between teachers and students about the questions again , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs a her marry non- man ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is these seemingly down - to - earth affairs , he claims , which amounts to the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars who was born in switzerland and academics .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
questioned the thinkers and activists , the bowen , in the majority of salafi with their counterparts are divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
he queries to what extent french political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
he suggests that muslims possibly a rougher treatment as the catholics , protestants and jews know , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
he recognises a ' stricter werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
can the islam be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
ice is disappearing , which it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .
oil , gas , schifffahrts - and fishing interests went in the newly open water , with diplomats , lawyers , and also in their wake to authors now .
richard ellis , an author and illustrator , is in ' on thin ice ' ( originaltitel : ' on thin ice ' ) a naturgeschichte , of the icon of the north of the polar bears .
exercised in the complicated history and policy of whaling , the long tradition of arktiserforscher he describes , the themselves in the quest for the polar bears have demonstrated .
admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich at sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears which are caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .
even today have zooanlagen still typically a millionth of the environment of a wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was absolutely by the green algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .
click here , in order to know more .
ellis relates to the reports of other authors and historians and go back often to the threat of the hunters for the survival of species .
even though banned in norway , america and russia , is the succumbed in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and further motorschlitten - travelling inuit powerful assault rifles use , in order to bring their spoils to line .
ironically , in the waters of the north of those two jagdnationen the ice the longest remain .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) offers alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , is a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and an packenden insight , such as the future could develop .
example , not that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmosphärenwissenschaftler nor ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .
that is not , however , from a lack of rationalisation .
the pionierreisen of fridtjof nansen end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century for the first time the turbulence of the packeises guess .
submarines vermaßen in the cold war changing grate in the cost .
are a useful complement satellitenvermessungen and the widespread application of messsonden of icebergs , but is still much by brave people who camped out in the cold outside achieved .
anderson casts a glance at the strange , tiny world of zuflusssystems within the arctic ice , which will be formed by salzwasserrinnsale , in the cold zusammengedrückt be .
but , starting from the bear on the ice to the microscopic surprised the ice , all of them are under threat , once the summer passes , which is estimated to be in for the period between 2013 and 2050 .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome last week the good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
though the district of washington are still far is behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local , and national level .
scoring the average of the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only rose by three points from 209 to 212 .
between 2007 and 2009 , in reality , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
scoring the average white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
across the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
separated the gap , the white and black viertklässler 2003 , when the first naep has been covered in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
scoring and although the , have achieved the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
some bildungsbefürworter of the district last week expressed concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this intimates that we the gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is complicated and difficult , said jeff smith , member of the board of d.c. voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington d.c. entry .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message of prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
naturally , there is always a would like to see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we for our mittelschule must use .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey according to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep will - progress , the last week have been reported , attributed to .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , which are under the notenniveau , said rhee .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools can provide , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , said , a professor of bruce fuller education at the university of california at berkeley , the urban audit work .
is the conventional cure , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
strengthen our schools in the areas , so that we must all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter - schools .
we must increase the school year is approaching 200 days , in order to have the power to change , said janey , with its teachers last year to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty considered .
university education for more people than prospects
achieved the coach the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have only just finished the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , the in silver spring recovered , and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching per year costs usd 38.690 , was more ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
wow , really ? " " they said food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to 's college .
the question is where .
one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what does nothing to end the high school diploma was sufficient or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary , in order in the middle class levels .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – which is a remarkable achievement , since many of its immigrant parents , mostly from mexico or central america , in the us came , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
assess , the powerful children , those who say that this very often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but beratungsprogramme also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help in college to come , especially if these efforts on a longer time continue .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills to help them in the wegsuche by the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanoamerikanische students examined .
we must think about , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school diploma was sufficient available to it .
financed the bundesprogramm , 's college - to tour gracielas had , is a useful example .
it is known as the gear up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch college vorbereitungsprogramme , the start , if low - income pupils in the mittelschule are continuing and , until you have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
according to the us department for education the programme has since 1999 helped more than 10 million pupils , 60 % of whom more than in college are gone .

the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is much higher than the global average of around 20 % .
is the imbalance in rich coastal with educated population , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child has been a per - couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and the labour force of the future to alleviate ' .
shanghai will soon ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual détente
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , the , violate this politics must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have some officials pregnant women , the already were forced abortion , a child .
many couples had also geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials recently discussed even on radical changes have , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , almost overnight of directives have been replaced , which describe in detail , who for a second child into question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
sent the town hall has urban employees and volunteers for family planning to go and see couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than one child have .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said a moment ago .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against it want to a second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the municipality huinan go with a population of 115 000 than example still per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- slightly higher than 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give her first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy falsely as a question of human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity , more than to have a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples be psychological reasons for their hesitation at .
wang , the personalleiterin , has said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used , that everyone has has dealt with us .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight to see and they want no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group drawing up plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again be a priority , the for the next 40 years recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , with the industrialized countries in the near future the greatest burden shoulders should .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could provide , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiation , the time is assuming , since more than 100 leaders from all world next week in copenhagen will arrive .
the text , the un working group established by a special was formulated , is silent on the money supply from , the rich countries of the poor countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
he also offers a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging - market economies able to restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , of the six pages of document has drafted , has summed up a 180 sides long negotiations , in order to , which is what the in the heart of the leading klimaschutzvertreter of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole " .
it shows the footprint of a possible agreement , in what the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce , while major developing countries , their emissions would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community has the talks on friday also a given to boost by your assurance on the next three years $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from champions of flooding and droughts to avoiding deforestation .
nevertheless , the friday , the same verbal fireworks , which the discussions in the last week had intended .
has the american klimasonderbeauftragte envoy todd stern began wordings rejected , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions demand for greater emerging economies , if this will not be financed from the developed countries .
this train has announced that the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is , not even two years ago .
sign the united states will not be agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , the also lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern its opinion has been one hour after the statement by the deputy chinese secretary of state he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american klimaunterhändler either lacks ' of common sense ' or was it " highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the great world powers is at stake , both within the developed countries , as also fracture lines between the developed and the emerging markets opened up .
the current fight refers equally to the rescue of individual economies , as well as on the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , so ulate , as the regional is klimawandelberater working for conservation internationally in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are the most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , in the early friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur runge - butcher , who is leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , said that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " partly that is why , because now they are united and measures of the emerging economies , such as china and india , are calling for .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders need to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
's high - level representatives , as the indian minister of the environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen its aircraft and around through the corridors of the bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
13,000 people -- the pure scale of the assembly go on a daily basis in the kongresszentrum a and from , organise gitarrespielende activists shows at night , in which they are making fun of on the countries which , betray your opinion , and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on from hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
just on the intensity rising : here almost all the important ministers are now and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
come the heavyweights .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
monday morning at 5 o'clock 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to ensure a pipe zugabfahrt announce , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin - pendlerservices go from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
believe the three large parties in theory this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage could in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
preferred option proposed is a y - shaped the routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and another in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion would be the route between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes reduce .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned in such a way as that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this in turn would mean that a terminus in london would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be developed with the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
trains should first of the high - speed trains on the existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the travelling time between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
sticking - point that it is crucial , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

the parties , which will be supervised by françois bayrou 's party modem , when a takeover on friday of the siegels has , of the once set up by valéry giscard d'estaing party , on the part of the chairman of the party nouveau centre , mr hervé morin , strong reaction and urged him under threat of a judicial persecution , this more stamp on any document to use .
hervé morin announces publicly his intention , to take up this udf seals , because he was of the opinion that françois bayrou not worthy would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
the minister of defense , whose parteipartner the ump is , incidentally , wanted to this strategy on saturday before the national council of the nc to reaffirm .
on the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now received in nc ) , with the right to the property of the brand udf , since it as a first 2004 this mark of the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the geschäftstelle collapsed of françois bayrou 's friends supervised alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave to understand that they could not expropriate , and the minister , and to the members under the threat of a judicial persecution a deadline , this seals not to use more and their to be transferred to the property rights of the brand .
you have in the last days ' time , you made many statements that their political movement would propose that the udf take siegelzu + + , wrote the parties in a letter signed , of 19 of the 24 büromitglieder , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of the centrist alliance .
they believed that they have the right , the name , i believe , this movement + + nouveau centre + , the slogans of today 's udf + , on their political material , as well as possible to be on the start of their website .
as you know , you have no entitled to the use of this siegels , declared the secretariat of the udf , and calls on the party nc ' immediately the reference to the name udf from sämtlichem material , as well as by ( its ) website to remove ' .
also we called for by mr hervé de charette , " the property rights of the be transferred to their legal anspruchsberechtigen ' brand .
if you deny this , we will be complaint against they impose to ensure respect for to the law and in order to defend the legitimate rights of the udf members , warned the undersigned .
in her letter you stress that ' udf ' since 1978 is a fully - fledged political movement and would remind you that morin and its friends " have made the choice ' to leave this 2007 , in order to create a competing movement , as has already been done by other 2002 had , in order to create the party ' ump ' .
nouveau centre the party has therefore , according to the undersigned , of any rights , the udf label ( union pour la démocratie française ) to use .
they continue to recall that the last congress of the udf , led to three - year accession to the modem party in 2007 and the creation of a secretariat for the defence ' of material and moral interests " of the set up by valéry giscard d'estaing movement , has adopted .

no one has the right , to act on their behalf ' , confirmed the representative of the public prosecutor , mrs marie - christine daubigney .
the court has now decided to deliver a verdict , after the process on the admissibility of mme bettencourt - meyers has taken place .
revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for more than a decade , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place given ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
these demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future - oriented view ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company on an equal footing alongside the customers .
use the very conditional internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , stimulate this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i fear not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after a number of a rather roundabout way priority concerned , to do this , ... what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take by intellectuals comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
thus , and by it suggests that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in an attitude to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of managing a fundamental minutes : for the wage - earners is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
moment , take only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place place .
so , it creates an fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

but also feuerwehrzufahrten , public local passenger transport routes , pedestrian avenues , and routes with inequality , such as the atzelbergstraße .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
should the around 1040 kilometres in need in a maximum of three hours ago with feuchtsalz is responsible , the better , be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are freely until the berufsverkehr launching ' .
difficult shall it , if it only at 7.30 in snowing .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , are feeder - and erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - roads belong , in the number .
have the final priority sides - and roads .
complaints where it will give , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings , as a priority are removed .
the fes are usually in order to all of the cycle paths might not be concerned about .
there is a particular in frankfurt , of 22 until 4.30 p.m. , above all the bridges in the watchful eye , says brauburger .
because it is on these quickly glätte also recognise that , whenever the temperature falls below two degrees , the streuer .
called in needs this will also of the police .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science by the thursday .
about 215 million years ago , the animal lived in today 's new mexico , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on the ghost ranch in the north new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i , reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
some of the bones identified the researchers quickly as new .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals together .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . "
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
particularly spectacular , this fund is not , but it confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils , however , are incomplete , why is the classification of these ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
he is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae found the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , have .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column apparently partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and most savage theropode with luftsäcken , randall irmis says .
as the relatives huge sauropoden line also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
separated so early , the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , at the time nor is it the superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two more , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
can the three not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in today 's poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says .
his opinion , a distorted picture of because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are maintained , while , on other continents is scarcely something to be found .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still puzzling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat nor with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with many other echsen .
towards the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species that during the term ' affinities ' on the border of the i on the jura ausstarb .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs , incidentally , the other reptiles but not .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped 150 million years later a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which are also already in the i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .
solidarity from vienna to são paulo
the list is long and the signatories are internationally .

new silicon - valley
long years it was considered secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
selenograd , one of the capital moscow ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
applies the community with its today 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .

already since september 2008 , representatives had selenograds contacts to frankfurt wissenschaftsstandort riedberg - linked with the uniinstituten and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .

it is about a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms of the fiz will make it possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
vice versa in germany to russian wissenschaftsfirmen orders scrape together .
selenograd is the seat major russian research institutes and businesses .

stuttgart brake
be stuttgart 21 the dimension is not even set high enough .
for the supporters of the project it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe with lines , the end up in the middle of the city , at the time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed , locomotives from behind forward umzuspannen .
raking , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe should disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will now actually tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , no longer are compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have realized that it in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city almost unaffordable is to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with train drivers operating locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
power with the railways , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , the is the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , the freight transport to strengthen as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly also many impinge on numerous other rail .
good eur six billion in schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
as a whole sixty greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the extension of the good 180 kilometres long route cutting through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
urgently needed would be to push , to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
will the rheintalstrecke for the real bottleneck to the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
has the national government in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs [ hessischer rundfunk ] ( vgh ) will go to banning night flights in revision .
instructed the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition have experts , is the more than 400 pages full vgh - judgment legally to assess , said economics minister , mr dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh on these days in kassel had justified in writing that the country in the case of the north - west planned construction of the runway at frankfurt airport the night flights new rules must .

the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this postponement and urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision in the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their made before the election promise to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is hellishly difficult , if we must keep his word , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in an allusion to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
an examination precise legal need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , said stefan müller ( fdp ) .
so , as you representing the opposition , would be the statements of his group to banning night flights never have been .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than had been thought .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
wanted yesterday evening the body on the personalie vote .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
however , there were a confirmation by the sender for this not - officially , in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - intendanten markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
two weeks ago , was schächter with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board failed .
only seven members languages are in favour of brender , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already signalled , brender not in office confirm to want to .
had the organise resistance against the editor of the hessische prime minister roland koch .
with the argument , would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
until shortly before the elections , it therefore protests , in which the political influence on plaguing the zdf was .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
person to
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and the frankfurter rundschau .
1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal advisor of chefredakteurs ; in 1991 / 92 correspondent in washington ; by 1998 head and moderator of the ' morgenmagazins " ; until 2001 head the zdf - foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios .
the greens , after the defeat brenders announced , on wednesday , has been elected by the branchenblatt medium magazine the journalists of the year , a complaint of unconstitutionality .
koch adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that personalvorschläge of intendanten cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
a withdrawal of party from the colleges of supervisors of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move - by he the body immediately after the brender - stepping down , strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of chefredakteurs nominate and also by the management board choose , without in the suspicions to come , to coax a partisans into office .
in the parteiarithmetik will frey already classified as the liberal left - wing .
study will entrümpelt
partial for the students : after a year of bildungsstreiks drew the culture ministers of the countries on thursday , at long last a : at a meeting of culture ministers - and hochschulrektorenkonferenz both sides agreed to the studying conditions in undergraduate and master to want to improve .
the students should be in the situation in the future , also able to solve their studies .
in the individual they agreed to , to reduce the prüfungsbelastungen : in principle , every studienmodul only conclude with a single audit .
should also be reviewed the workload of the students will be guaranteed ' and ' a realistic and reasonable level .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit between the universities within and outside of germany simplify .
the countries committed itself to this common strukturvorgaben for undergraduate and masters courses ' to make it more flexible .
deviating länderregelungen in addition , it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the student protest in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule with only a exam , " it is said in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction in prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should a " trend be stopped , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
should also be the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' , if " unnecessary einengungen the students in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
should apply the rules in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses .
these must be every five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .
the culture ministers had urged the countries in the october ' with emphasis ' , so to exert influence on the agencies that the stofffülle not too big and prüfungsregime is not to strict .
in individual länder , universities and colleges of higher education with landesministerien have already agreed on the appropriate measures .
than hitherto single country said in rhineland - palatinate for the further development of the bologna process additional funds .
of the money is to the universities , above all tutorenprogramme set up and study and strengthen review and auslandsämter .
country and want to universities pour eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the an amendment of the government wants to put hochschulgesetzes at the parliament .
after this , for the conclusion of an studienmodells only should be a single audit be necessary .
the studiengestaltung is to be more flexible , the recognition of leistungsnachweisen other universities must also be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master .
by the end of next year should be reviewed all the courses of the country and your studierbarkeit .
government and opposition , on thursday had once again been quarrelling over the studying conditions in the country .
apart from praise , there were but also criticism of the decisions .
the bundesvorstand the juso - hochschulgruppen called for the shaping of education , in future , not more ' conducted behind closed doors ' of the ministers and university .
at the latest , after the bildungsstreiks should now also the students ' have a say concerned . "
support , the future academics by the president of the hochschulrektorenkonferenz ( hrk ) , margret wintermantel : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday at a meeting with the ministers of culture , with which the hrk on a common reform was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with an undergraduate degree allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .
stop the countries need to clear more lecturers .
to a freer access to the masters , however , does not culture .
more than a footnote to herta müller
comment in germany and from is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the anfangszeile of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this in troubling sprachfetzen addressed the ankunftserfahrung of dissidents , the freedom won , but , at the same time , has lost his language area .
werner born of the 1951 in the romanian banat söllner had first of all , as german and englischlehrer - worked in a kinderbuchverlag in bucharest and , later , editor , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner is with various literaturpreisen he was excellent . in 1993 , the legendary frankfurter poetikvorlesungen at the goethe - university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessian literaturforums [ hessischer rundfunk ] in mousonturm in frankfurt .
provided for considerable außerliterarisches attention he during a meeting in munich last tuesday , in the it " german literature in romania in the mirror and zerrspiegel their securitateakten ' .
visibly confused and move read söllner a statement , in which he before rumäniendeutschen schriftstellerkollegen , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth frauendorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian securitate security admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner in 1989 the german sprachpreis received .
had the anwerbungsversuche started by stealth , first 1971 .
so i am , closed söllner , ' someone who has campaigned against attempts to intimidate the securitate not enough . "
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the despicable of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , so far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
securitate in its - acts have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all at the time for him , " markel bailed out sensitive points ' .
it is a moral need him , this remark to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , be speculation and probably also in some case have known , which klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
thwarted a systematic information is in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the birthler - authority appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate - files ( cnsas ) was only set up in 1999 , the launch of files was rather since then however slow .
only since 2005 there is a law , which regulates management of the files .
securitate that the influence of former - members in romania are still very wide is , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate chairman from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
its infamy of power said is able to express its opinion quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? whom was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and will be shame determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

my pleasure at the fulminanten commencement of the babbel - so successor remained ignorant behaviour .
not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives had .
i am on the players received and have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , declared seelenklempner gross the more so simply sounding recipe for success , the under therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .
cranked up a certain magic he has , was babbel - supporters jens lehman , ' if in football is a new impulse , sometimes things happen , would have kept the they are not in favour of possible ' .
sami khedira , and the weeks after verletzungspause thanks to its dynamism straight to the best players found on the place wake , tried this ' phenomenon ' and ' with the proverbial " fresh wind of the operation of the new to describe superiors : ' he is a man who requires decisive action and discipline .
this is what we need in the current situation . "
under babbel had it been lacking obviously .
the vfb stuttgart is not yet about the berg , warns sportvorstand horst heldt
the vfb stuttgart needs but , above all , constancy .
as gross its proponents were because also players and managers before , the victory against a ersatzgeschwächte and to preclude completely excessive demands of the romanian guests to overestimate .
they have won also in glasgow , before four days later in leverkusen the 0:4 the evil awakening has come , khedira was to concerns .
horst heldt and sportvorstand warned that , although a saisonziel been achieved , but the other is still a long way off .
we are not yet out of the woods .
that heldt 40th anniversary of his birthday , even after the first heimsieg been not for three months after the prospect of celebrate was , in the events the weekend was , in the form of a immediately before spielbeginn television broadcast interviews of gate - keepers jens lehman fresh invigorate .
there are decisions , the other meetings , and not the jens countered heldt the harsh criticism lehmanns .
had the accused of the board leadership shown and the trainerwechsel under pressure from pubertierender fans i have decided .
be also that free day after play had been withdrawn , , lehman as a sign of lack of sovereignty and resentment .
lehmanns statements are " characterised by minded egotism , " keilte heldt back and consequences for the schlussmann announced .

traumwelten
some people see in wachem state images and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drogenrausch blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
as long as it happens in their sleep , everything is ok .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must have the wildest ideas and phantasiegebilden of these unchecked .
however , those who experienced in the period traumartige conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , applies in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in the drogenrausch .
blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes , paint pictures or novels , to write , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , madness and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in many different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
, even if the trigger and effect are different may , the visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of neural , of the brain , led by dopamin , noradrenalin , serotonin and acetylcholin - derailed and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
more about him the force of gravity has no powers
the context of delusion and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , stated 1861 a " great similarity of the irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no powers more about him that he is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
enters it senses a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting him , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain in the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
he it can no longer tolerate , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet to concerned here with a noose and consolidating them to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loud speaker and the noose around the neck to recede .
jumps .
tightening the noose unravels .
cry this is a lesson to you , the voices of trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , ' go in the clinic , and let you cure ' .
henning t. is 40 years old , it has today six acute psychosis seen , the last lies 2 years back in the past , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
psychosis i have in the worst fear and deepest despair , seen he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia ; at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second illness after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected more often than not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - , can lead relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten bracket .
's perception of reality in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says professor thomas fox , oberarzt the clinic for general psychiatry in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar dream , of the events overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich is generally have not possible , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
hallucinatory the obsessive quest thoughts and be based in the reality , the verfremdung of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage available .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , is also the first manifestiere does not even for many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
hotly is if our brain
is the stupidity , psychotiker suffering among its hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get them , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical side - effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
these include mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , for castes , are from gedächtnisinhalten together , the normally be withheld .
they arise , when areas in which have sensory are processed , überaktiv are blocked or too little ; if our brains hotly is or , if stimulation too is missing .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they reside in a small town in mecklenburg - west pomerania and visited secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
in the break it can happen that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair it addresses .
when it replies , the schoolmate look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
they consider the timid girls to be a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as they alongside them can see and hear the girl in the bank .
you can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
am i crazy ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
night , the phenomena are often frightening
often the mere empty words are also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other aural and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
night , the phenomena are often frightening .
when you in their dark room waiting for the sleep , which is , of course , far too rarely and come too late , it can often not distinguish between , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which sees them , the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
parents and friends tells you nothing of them , which would you consider for crazy .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
last year she has the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
before a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since it has included on the internet contact with the psychologists castes , exactly she knows that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likelihood , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
began their hallucinations , when you with 13 learned that the man that they papa calls , for as long as they can remember , is not your leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
nighttime images also sees castes as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients ' , therefore , that the hallucinations also as a special value ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and psychotherapy of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness is also a work of art out of desperation .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , is a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish by the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself - and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in the reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
he is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive is condemned to immobile .
visited a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears foreign times and places : they experience as bettlägerigen , old mann , on board of a zugsanatoriums , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under nobles , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks on the motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
he is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in memory .
distinguish these internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is another state , be he describes experience .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
goes beyond the intensity of this erlebens the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
ultimately , show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch , how fragile our internal reflections of external reality also in the ensure are .
any change of the bewusstseinszustandes , to summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of , what we call reality . "
an experience which , may even be enriching .

mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , on the behalf i - stop , introduced at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop - system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats an excellent good ergonomics and stop good offer .
playing a game of lenkrads is also excellent .
look at in the further of unity , the from the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colors red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign is .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
without further can therefore be said that both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , converted both japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by its quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who are not many kilometres a year , , these should drive i - stop with petrol engines whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model selected sportive a special , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung has .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .

conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
he is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also the i - stop version buy , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
be the only negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day in the new highest fahrspass .

peek is äuβerst limited , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without an option , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time to chose one of the products of the year .
it is on the straβe to see , is unlikely to be , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success so that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same limits , as his american counterpart , however , there is a surprise crisis .
of the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 in the month , includes roaming for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , already know , what it means , to forego all the data they need in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi while you sit ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , you will need a pretty doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe remained almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small machine as fonpeek ( ; it but always astonishing is that it has the name fon , even though it does not have a wifi while you sit / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as the peek already offering in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails read with the telephone that .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , however time able to see a computers with the same system .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and a mantle of the colour and has the same colour re- elected , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , there was a clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two differ about clothes but very are produced in the stoffart , from which they are .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten along with .
also the accessories were , different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time although a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the european institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their motherhood .
open the study , that it very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of profession they exercise .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house no other work they do , only part-time work or no fixed contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women of those aged between 35 in and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer , to achieve this and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem has also the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " says the csic - researcher , margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey is the age the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be found in women the the same age .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
then there is , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way round and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of fuenlabrada walking , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the weight of the just six kilo is in fact , and then from the blue missed you him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
our indignation , one can never be enough words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
added to that is the erstickungsanfall , the a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , wanted to chastise than they these people because of the incident , it feared even for their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with each make , the weaker than he himself is .
usually the incident occurred in a calm neighbourhoods at five o'clock in the afternoon on an ordinary tuesday .
all day long , the dog has geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
led us to our indignation about what has happened , this incident .
can we not understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animal fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
do we know where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

sale of vans is on the increase to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for vans something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is much more importantly , they are so that the first increase at all after 22 successive months with constant decline , gemäβ the by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 are , that a particularly bad verkausjahr with a reduction of 60 % in respect of the previous year was .
however , we must bearing in mind that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , however , all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds which affect the most , because the demand even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in almost 100 % of all cases the purchase by a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and in the difference to cars , have the financial support for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , wish to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday again had ganvam remind you that it is absolutely necessary by the state , including a special attention in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
predicted the autohändlervereinigung for the year 2010 a similar year as the just last , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining vehicles a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , to improve the protection of fuβgänger , but can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical bremsmanövers , which the system by the bremsstärke outlined by the drivers on the brake recognises to exercise .
however , is not until the end this pressure from this system .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
against the bremshilfe intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and thus also the bremsabstand , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss is already inevitable , is concerned , the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .

nick reilly , the new chairman of gm europe , namely wants to achieve that the side affected their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , that first , the workers , and then the governments of the countries , in which there are works , is presented , until the beginning of 2010 will postpone .
dementgegen will by gm assured that it in the next few days will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
since it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
gm is , to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
one of these buyers could be geely , the also would like to be able to buy up volvo , however , the option of the skyper - dutch manufacturer sports , which has the backing of the russian group converg , attracting an ever - greater .
if it should come to an agreement with any of these buyers , gm could some assets to the chinese baic sell .

at the wheel of the porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now puts only 1.275 kilos on the balance .
abandoning in order to create something you as a first on the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a manuellem powered zeltleinwanddach , so that alone has it ; thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning 13 once again ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilo have been reduced ; saved by the installation of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also been exacerbated by the relinquishment of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe by handles from substance the lack of kilo achieved .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , on bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
reducing its weight has but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since long we have already no longer such a small and light model probegefahren , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed , are .
it is a small athlete , able to do this , flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car that they should do everything to what we him with our hands to the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and it is doing so with the accuracy of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very have been able and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that the motorgeräusche can change , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
brutally , regardless of whether the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
on the asphalt alter the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , quite was already damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route virtually nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trajectories of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found this morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a motor car , with whom you have an indescribable fahrspass has , as there are rarely otherwise have it and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

pays the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 during his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group after the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 in the assessment ) .
vitoria could the team from the important intemperate remarks by herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace teamwork , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
evaluated the great right from the perimeter with 16 triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory in .
began with the leadership of the blauroten the game , which is in the tip of the very beginning on the anzeigentafel .
since the first four baskets the team from vitoria already came from the perimeter out , we have already guess that they had come to the playing field with well - reheated handgelenken .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , to further until to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic began as the best of his team with 13 points , to highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the mote can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer remind you once again that not everyone on their level playing field wins , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' attack time and again they came back to the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , a few gambits with accuracy had to prepare , once again in order to get air and in one of them with a pistol pointing of mirza teletovic , your suddenly emerged with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that on the anzeigentafel by ( einberuhigender distance to 54 - 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen were in the last quarter of bloβgestellt and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team from the line taken by three points from ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although mote because fouls being the place was asked , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended well and although the israelis nor in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a victors and tel aviv for the first time in this season .

the team from malaga had neither fear the mood in the warehouse of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to their shackles game in first quarter andalusians were allowed to start to dream . a aggresive defence and three consecutive three times , two from it by omar cook and one by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 - in the 9 minute .
olympiacos was of the intensity of the ereins unicaja surprised , even if the local team with a innenspiel between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the anzeigentafel in the 13 minute 22 - 20 in their favour anzeigte , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and which is why both disqualified have been .
the greek team began , warm weather at last to be , and its superiority on both spielhälften , while the departure of the englishman , mr joel freeland as a result of a violation of and the three itself caused error by carlos jiménez significant traces in the unicaja hinterlieβen .
under their players in the innenfeld and the lithuanian vorspieler linas kleizas , with its triple , they increased its advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .
a race was impossible
the third spielviertel was characterised by many attacks against the team of olympiacos from , despite its 19 losses consider showed and even managed , the difference of fought in malaga game with 66 to offset - 48 in the twenty - seventh minute , again , with regard to the leadership fluctuate within the group to produced .

the maβnahme it was used to stabilise the markets , the debt with the to pay direktkauf of assets and indirectly to the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan , and germany , the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of germany leads the countries of the euro area .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
damages on the other hand a degree of uncertainty is not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , the once again tried had , in the leaders of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits led to the loss of jobs , had slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , via a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
hides a government , which the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made it in italy after berlusconi and sócrates in portugal after durão barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens to the need for auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to large sums of money , and , this would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same pace as the european unternehmensboni increase .
reduce should , however , the european differences , to continue to increase and the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the volume of this early indicators a groβteil of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not a long life span .
once again it has very the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as " caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the european parliament 's subcommittee on , where in these few days the strategy in relation to spain 's energy supply will debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , gave galán of the press some stichpunkte about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola by 2020 , spain must 50 billion from this date euround a further 60 billion between now and 2030 invest , under the pretext that the current atomic power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola of the opinion that it is , however , no longer should invest , but in into an increase in the energy distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , on the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more are needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by other ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national kohleverbrauch to create , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle it .

there should be set aside a few minutes ago , in order to find the appropriate garbage can .
i will not say that the waste in brno would be not to operate at all .
but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all , through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
you have some time in the centre , for example , tried to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
the only accidentally found in point , which , until now , i have taken , is the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka to his colleagues us not get angry , but that is far too little to me .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks of my friends sorting that is why the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration of offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately the straßenbahnfahren i came to the right place .
but almost on the waste expired .
this is but is still represents the centre of brno , thus making the whole city , is not true ? !
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they buy a eishockeyliga prefer the city , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party in spite of the opinion of the government the farmers and officials , more money , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
this causes which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
the salary increase for some groups as the socialists and communists have enforced , they expect to see the government , the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition , borrows . ' that is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to the choice , where the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the more money , which the left party now was : the fire service , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat only slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for the development of the lack of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
most received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that it solves the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden , in which the state owners of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto expanded , and this money is also a reserve for the planned pension reform .
with this trick rising in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau of 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion , the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of crime or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we need to pay anyway , this makes janota clear .
the minister then needs to save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
a hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , that is intended to supervise , on- line to allow , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
the first stage starts in january .
the finance ministers should find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .

on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but it is intended to again a warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech wetteramtes in hradec kralove .
us : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost strange , schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , with which the president with his reputation of the brightest , the strategy of his predecessor in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its afghanistan - awaited doctrine ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
on the following months showed , however , that the bush - of the recommendations of military personnel strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
for the reputation of bush 's objectively has not been improved , because he has his successor hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , when it was to be expected .
in afghanistan barack obama hopes of the fact that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten criticised the vacillating protect hard in the white house .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea , and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
from europe he has the commitment for another 5,000 pressed , at least with 10 000 , even if he originally expected .
to be of the whole obama strategy is highly problematic project , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan already in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also , despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces , the usual every day , are , to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama strategy by its voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .
from the political view is the datumssetzung for the withdrawal mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as will enter into the indirect confession the american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to participate in the disputes in afghanistan , is running out .
also not explain to europe 's politicians can and want to their voters , the way in which the security of germany or italy linked to the war in the hindu kush - gebirgsvorland .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of the events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions in the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises , whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this is a question that has to be answered in the period , in which america after obama to proceed siegerabzug from afghanistan .
any solution will also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only sticking plaster for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore is still enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove totalausfall would .

mandela was in the new film by clint eastwood of morgan freeman played
the south africans claim that the new hollywood movie " invictus : the ungeschlagene ' of the world much of the country shows , whose fight and win despite some criticisms that the principal role was occupied by an american actors .
the history of sport , rassenverhältnissen told and on nelson mandela .
the tireless campaigner against the racist apartheid government in the south african republic , and its first black president , nelson mandela , is in his life , american oscar - actors , morgan freeman , .
freeman said that he was asked by the einundneunzigjährigen mandela , whether he might be in the eastwood movie it .
a further significant role matt damon .
i told him : " i if you will , i must they play meeting .
the zweiundsiebzigjährige actor who played the prize for his role in the eastwood - drama receive from the boxbereich ' million dollars baby ' , had already been the leader of the movement on the abolition of slavery , from the end to - day slave has become , a fictitious us president , and also in ' evan omnipotent god , " but rarely , someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people , like mandela .
the former südafrikanischestaatsmann was for his active work in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was released in 1990 to undfür four years he was president of the country .
the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , which has been 1875 issued in the years .
the requirement to speak , as he was
the film , a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugbyteams , francois pienaar , zusammenschloss , in order to some . the country of the new president mandela also know that his people after apartheid still remains shared rassenmäßig , as well as economically .
he believes that it can be people through sport some , that is why he , the rugbyspieler decides , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .
finally , the south african team is rising to in the world of the year 1995 .
freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela - history on the cinema screens that .
he had no other aim than to play this role in this way , in order to move closer to the reality to this as closely as possible , said freeman .
the main challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
the actors has said , if he would be in the same country , and the world leader he would try to meet with mandela , with him to evening to eat , and in his speech to be behind the scenes .
for him , was the most important to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i schüttele you the hand , i accept their energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
matt damon is in the film françois pienaar , captain of the national rugbyteams , in which the white players have triumphed .
the actors said that he has had six months time , prepare for the role in the hard rugbywelt .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first in his house .
i , as i remember the türklingel rang that he opened up to françois pienaar and the first thing i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .

lichtgeheimnis on norway dissolved , the russians have tested a missile
on norway was to see a particular lichteffekt of unknown origin .
the russian defense , only yesterday has admitted that an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested near the norwegian border .
the start , but not again was successful and the described as a type " bulava rocket , should be the originally the pride of the russian army , is beginning to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the raketetest has had no positive effect on the success of the probeflüge .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers , it is already on ' bulava ' as on a " missile , the not flying . "
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third raketenstufe .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious light on nordwegen caused by an unspecified fliegendes object was actually the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
the generals has not clearly opposed this diesesmal and claims that we can talk of a failure .
the first two stages of the missile were not from and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases were damaged the engines straight in the first phase .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for success .
the almost 50 success met with optimism and so the generals will continue to say , therefore , that the " bulava " even without problems will be flying and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
the team of czech and the german scientists testing , the new links should stop the spread of hiv viruses in the body .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
this fact outweigh against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus - variants is not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
the patients the medikamentenzusammenstellung but can extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
but their use will be accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the three institutions of the academy of sciences cr experts , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , is the responsible for proliferation of the hiv viruses .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links block the virus reproduction , in other ways than all the medicinal products used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new capitalism improved capitalism connections , the on the basis of the knowledge of molekularmechanismus their commitment at the viruses - eiweißstoff were prepared .

who with the vaccination has already started in last year or earlier , weiterewiederholungsimpfung itself must also pay .
the first impfdosis must be made between the 3 and 5 months old of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
the parents paid 1 600 kroner and more for a dose .
for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses required .
in the whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
they save but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has spent for all flächenimpfungen of children around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
pneumokokken mittelohrentzündung , but also cause serious infections including gehirnhautentzündungen and blutvergiftung .
by pneumokokkeninfektionen die with us for investigation per year up to 28 children in hospital in 10 years of age .

the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .
i believe that this is the way , we must go now , led kalovsky .
the ministry of health does not want to change but the impfverfahren against pneumokokken .

the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors have to buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical paediatricians , concerns the the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original plans should be the vaccines bought by the insurance and the doctors who receive this at the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
a number of members feared , however , that the insurance as ' the money from the could krankenversicherungherausführen . "
the doctors buy the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance , you pay for them .

this will not be easy , cabrnochova says .

still you and we
the islam can be french ?
in a secular state , pluralism and pragmatism .
in a time for a ban on building in the swiss electorate voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
a number of readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country on one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
he not only , as a good anthropologist , would like to know what the politicians and the media , on the islam say in france , but what happens in the area really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
it is a good listener , it is again debates between teachers and students about the issues , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs marry a man non- ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is this seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims , the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars and academics born in switzerland .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
the conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists , questioned the bowen salafi with their counterparts , are often divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe show muslims .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
it is to what extent french into political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
it is a sign of that muslims may a rougher treatment as catholics , protestants and jews , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
it recognises a " tightening - up of the werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
the islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
the ice is disappearing , the it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .
oil and gas , schifffahrts and fishing interests went in the newly open water , with diplomats , lawyers , and also in their wake to authors now .
richard ellis , an author and illustrator , is in " on thin ice ' ( originaltitel : ' on thin ice ' ) , a naturgeschichte the icon of the north of the polar bears .
exercised in the complicated history and policy of whaling , the long tradition of arktiserforscher he describes , the , have proved themselves in the quest for the polar bears .
admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich at sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears , which have been caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .
even today zooanlagen still typically have a millionth of the environment of a wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was absolutely by the green algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .

ellis relates to the reports of other authors and historians often and return to the threat , the hunters for the survival of species .
even though banned in norway , america and russia , is the succumbed in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and further motorschlitten - travelling inuit powerful assault rifles use , in order to bring their spoils to line .
ironically , in the waters of the north of these two jagdnationen will remain the ice the longest .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) provides alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and , as a packenden insight into the future could develop .
not that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmosphärenwissenschaftler nor ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .
this is not , however , to a lack of rationalisation .

sánchez has repeatedly asked for permission to leave the country to receive prices , but this is always been rejected .
the arrest of the american contractor will probably be the tensions between the communist government of the castro - brother in cuba and the obama government increase , the a " slow " rapprochement had sought to the improvement of relations with the island .
the news of the arrest of the new york times reported was first last friday .
the new us policy attaches importance to the fact that the united states to be a anything in return , if the cuban government concrete steps in this direction , such as release political prisoners and the creation of more room for opposition .
mobile phones and notebooks are legally in cuba , although they are new and coveted products in a country , in which the average earnings of an government officials $ 15 per month .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
the certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome good news for the public schools last week in washington d.c.
although the district of washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local level , as well as national level .
the average points of the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only three points from 209 to 212 .
in reality , between 2007 and 2009 , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
the average scoring white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
the gap , which separated white and black viertklässler 2003 has been covered , as the first naep in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the points have achieved , the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
last week some bildungsbefürworter of the district expressed their concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this suggests , that we gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is difficult and problematic , said jeff smith , member of the board of d.c. voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message the prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
of course you would like to always see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we should use for our mittelschule .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of the reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth - class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey be brought to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep - progress have been reported , attributed to the last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , the , are under the notenniveau rhee said .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and can provide the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education to the university of california at berkeley , of the urban audit work .
the conventional remedy is , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
we must strengthen our schools in the areas , so that all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week , said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter - schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 days , in order to have the force for change , janey said , to an agreement on the last year with its teachers 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
university education for more people than future
the coach achieved the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have little to the end of the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silver spring and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching costs usd 38.690 per year , was the a ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , rather than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
" wow , really ? " she said to food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to 's college .
the question is , where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school diploma was sufficient not end or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary in the middle class , in order .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , most came from mexico and central america , in the united states , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
, assess the powerful children , those who say that this often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but beratungsprogramme also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help to come in college , especially if these efforts continue on a long period of time .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills to help them in the wegsuche by the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanoamerikanische students examined .
we must think about , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school diploma was sufficient available .
the bundesprogramm , had financed the tour gracielas college , is a useful example .
it is known as the gear up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch , the college - vorbereitungsprogramme begin , if low - income pupils in the mittelschule are continuing and , until you have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
in accordance with the us department for education the programme has helped more than 10 million pupils since 1999 , 60 % of which more than in college are gone .

in iran are no good opportunities for election , he said in response to the question of soldiers the likelihood of such a development .
' one of the things that are on the soul to me , is that if we in the last six years have learned something from the iraq , the the war own unpredictability . "
the obama government prefers a sanktionspaket in recital , which aims at iran 's political and military elite , but gates has announced that a number of sanctions could also affect the durchschnittsiraner .
he said that a " package of positive incentives and disincentives ' is necessary to ' in order to convince the iranian government that , in reality , they with nuclear arms is less protected ' , because " their people monsters ' will suffer under the sanctions .

the us government has pushed for this type of agreement , in order to build the trust between the two parties and time for negotiations to gain .
iran appears but since this time the negotiations have to rely on the provisional agreement -- partly , experts say , because the iranian leadership is divided , about whether they should commit themselves to the united states .
iran that the international community in relation to a number of proposals to which they had already been agreed in early october , has simply left , has , frankly , the international community , including the russians and chinese , to put together a way , as it in connection with important additional sanctions for iran have never been , gates said .
president obama has set a deadline of 31 dez. for the iran , to respond to these proposals , before it , including those other options , the secretary of state hillary rodham clinton called " crippling sanctions ' , will continue to pursue .
in a statement made in new york has condemned the iranian representation in the united nations , what you " without gratuitous and foundation claims on thursday called ' of certain members of the security council to the iranian atomaktivitäten and said that they are prepared , the talks to continue with the united states and five other world powers , ' in order to achieve a suitable long- term solution ' .
gates , should the to return to washington last friday , met on tomorrow , with iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki , before it in the oil - rich kurdish region in the iraq to take part in meetings with the soldiers in kirkuk and with the kurdish authorities in irbil flew .
the tensions between the kurds and the arab majority in the iraq are still high , in particular in relation to borders , property rights , and because the distribution of public revenues .
gates urged both sides , to reduce the potential for conflict , in order to prevent delays of the us plans , the american troops , up until the end of august of 115 000 to 50 , 000 to reduce .
gates also sought , to dispel the kurdish concern on the forthcoming a withdrawal of troops . us representatives to masood barzani , quoted gates , the president of the kurdish regional government , has said : ' we will their security , prosperity and their autonomy within a united iraq .

a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propagandaplakaten on , the ' mother earth to you considered that lectures , that is tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer , suddenly , began to change the course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their response immediately and finally was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , said a personalleiterin with an 8 - month old son .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen einzelkindern , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced , is a bevölkerungskrise in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance is with educated population in rich coastal cities , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child per couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and to alleviate the labour force of the future . "
shanghai will soon be ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , " they said .
a gradual easing
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , which are in breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have a number of officials , pregnant women , the already had a child , forced abortion .
many couples have had geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 the tone has been moderated many hard slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials have recently discussed even on radical amendments , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , were replaced almost overnight of directives , which describe in detail , who for a second child of the question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
the town hall has urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than have a child .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against a want to second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the community of huinan with a population of as an example still go up 115 000 per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- something higher than in 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give their first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west misleadingly assess the a - child policy as human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , the personalleiterin , said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight and they want to see no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group drawing up plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again be a priority , the for the next 40 years recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , and with the industrialized countries in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could provide , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiation , the time , since more than 100 leaders from all world next week will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a special was formulated , is silent on the money supply from , the rich countries of the poor countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
it also provides a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging - market economies can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar has drawn up , the six pages of document , has summed up a 180 sides long negotiations , in order to , which is what the in the heart of the leading klimaschutzvertreter of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole " .
it shows the footprint of a possible agreement , in what the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce , while major developing countries , their emissions would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community , the talks on friday has also given to a boost by your assurance on the next three years 3.6 billion us dollars per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the face of the floods , droughts and avoiding deforestation .
nevertheless , the friday , the same verbal fireworks , which the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american klimasonderbeauftragte envoy todd stern began rejected wording , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions demand for greater emerging economies , if this will not be financed from the developed countries .
this train has announced that the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is , not even two years ago .
the united states will not sign up to an agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , also the lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , to ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern was a deputy hour after the declaration of the chinese secretary of state its opinion he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american klimaunterhändler either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the great world powers is at stake , both within the developed countries , as also opened up between the developed countries and the emerging economies fault lines .
the current fight refers also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , ulate internationally , as the regional klimawandelberater for conservation is active in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are the most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , in the early friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur runge - butcher , who is leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , has said , that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " that is why , in part , because they are now united and measures of the emerging countries , such as china and india , demand .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders need to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
's high - level representatives , as the indian minister of the environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen its aircraft and around through the corridors of the bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
the pure -- 13 000 people are on a daily basis in the extent of the assembly kongresszentrum a and from , organise gitarrespielende activists shows at night , in which they are making fun of on the countries which , betray your opinion , and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on from hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
the intensity builds just on : almost all the important ministers are here now and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
the heavyweights come .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
on monday morning at 5 in the 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a zugabfahrt a pipe , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin pendlerservices from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
in theory believe the three large parties in this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen could still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the proposed preferred option is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and the other in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the journeys would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned , so that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this would mean that in london a terminus would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be extended to the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
the trains should first of all the high - speed lines to existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the route between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

mr hervé morin announces publicly his intention , to take this udf seals , since it is of the opinion that françois bayrou not worthy would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
the minister of defense , whose parteipartner the ump is , moreover , this strategy , wanted to reiterate on saturday before the national council of the nc to .
on the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now received in nc ) , with the right to the property of the brand udf , since it as a first 2004 this mark of the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the geschäftstelle collapsed of françois bayrou 's friends supervised alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave to understand that they could not expropriate , and the minister , and to the members under the threat of a judicial persecution to use a deadline , not more this seals and their to be transferred to the property rights of the brand .
you have made in the last days many statements that you would propose their political movement , wrote the udf take siegelzu + + , the parties in a letter signed , of 19 of the 24 büromitglieder , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of the centrist alliance .
they believed that they have the right , the name , i believe , this movement + + + nouveau centre , the slogans of today 's udf + , on their political material , as well as possible to be on the start of their website .

revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has been in vain in our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ...
for over a decade ago , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution has given the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
the demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
this demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future vision ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve an equal footing , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company alongside the customers .
the very conditional use internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , encourage this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i am afraid not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after many roundabout way finally priority concerned , the , ... to do what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and , finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take in intellectual comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
therefore , and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any idea or practice of the management to integrate : a fundamental protocol for the wage is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
at the moment accept only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place .
so , you will create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

to michael gerson from george w. bush , and now the notetaker , a former editor in the washington post , obama has " a very american " speech .
in addition , that it presents itself as the ' kosmopolit ' , such as " he always power , " he ' as an american president has spoken , " as he pointed out that the europeans ' as live in a sicherheitsblase , which you have not created , and for their protection not do so much ' , so gerson .
among the few , not staunch called rights of the former un ambassador , john bolton , a hawk the bush - era , the speech at the site of the national review as " boring , highfalutin and inspirationslos online " .
on the left of the president shows the democratic representative dennis kucinich concerned , as barack obama defended the recourse to the armed forces .
packaged it under the guise of justice to the war is the massacre of innocent quite simply , it warns justify .
the press the center - left , however , remains on the side of the president of praise .
the los angeles times , which is still of the opinion that the nobel peace prize was premature awarded to obama , even for a speaker referred to the speech like him , known for his talent is , as " monumental . "

the new york times is of the opinion that obama " the necessary discourse proclaimed " and called his speech at the same time ' as ' bleak and exemplary .

turkish constitutional court resolves pro- kurdish party . decision with serious consequences
the turkish constitutional court on friday was the dissolution of the country 's pro- kurdish principal party known ; a decision , to the immediately raging demonstrations in the kurdish community in the south - east of the country , and in istanbul followed .
this decision , the work of the government is threatening to make enormous more difficult , who are trying to extend the hand , the kurdish community , in order to bring an end to the since 25 years of conflict .
the ' for ' a democratic society party ( dtp ) has been dissolved , because they had become a " site for the activities , the for the independence of the state and its indissoluble unity are bad , " the president of the constitutional court hasim kiliç four days after the decision to the press .
according to kiliç would be the decision of 11 judges getroffenworden unanimously , with a majority of seven votes would have been necessary in order to impose the break - up . he also pointed out that 37 of the party leaders , including the chairman ahmet türk and the parliamentarian aysel tugluk , for the duration of five years been excluded from the political events .
the judge of the further announced the waiver of parliamentary immunity , the türk and enjoy tugluk , and the confiscation of goods of the party .
the dtp in parliament ( now has 21 seats of 550 ) .
the parteiführenden spoke before the decision to the effect that the parliamentarians would leave parliament rather than as parteilose to meet parliamentarians .
the decision followed a in the year 2007 by the prosecutor of the turkish bundesgerichts abdurrahman yalçinkaya initiated procedures . he accused the dtp , the " instructions " to follow the kurdistan workers ' party ( pkk ) , by ankara and the many other countries will be seen as a terrorist organisation .
many observers believe that the dtp is the legal political showcase the pkk - rebels .
the party to have assured , ' no link ' to the pkk , but refuses to call this as a terrorist organisation and calls to negotiations on the government .
the verdict of the constitutional court computer intervened , the government is seeking to meet , of the kurdish community and a series of measures to strengthen the rights of the kurds to propose , by the kurds are drying up to the support of the pkk to end and to give the conflicts .
the leader of the dtp confirm that a break - up to a resurgence of the tensions could lead in south - eastern anatolia , where many demonstrations against the conditions of detention in the past few weeks , of the pkk leader , abdullah öçalan led to clashes with the police .

the security forces , tear - gas grenades and water , as the demonstrators , began - and throwing stones to .
hundreds of people , also demonstrated in istanbul .
following the judgment , türk assumed that the decision of the court ' will continue to deepen the work of despair ' .
' turkey can this ( kurdish , anm. that not resolve editorial ) question on the basis of the ban a party , " he told of the press .
the government , consisting of a party , which has emerged from the islamist movement , regretted the decision also .
" we oppose from principle against the closure of the parties .
that does not solve the problems , " energy taner yildiz .
this decision is a torpedoing of the " democratic opening up , has been the promoted by the government , " the political marktbeobachter ahmet island .
" you can clearly on a " response of the pkk , adds it .
on thursday , the pkk to an attack , in the three days before seven soldiers in the north of the turkey died . it was one of the most brutal attacks in the last months .
can the schneeeinbruch come
a properly knackigen winter , that is what wolfgang brauburger wants .
not because he would like to bully the citizen , the winterdienstleiter says the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole of the vehicle technology can learn try and control .
at the weekend might be so far it according to the weather forecast for the first time .
more than 330 staff and 120 vehicles are prepared to take care of , in order to snow and ice .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
snow cover as soon as it in frankfurt and the level zero temperatures , 20 will have the so-called a - routes with großstreufahrzeugen boat , brauburger explained to us .
this includes some hauptverkehrs and transit such as the new way and the hanauer roads .
but also feuerwehrzufahrten , public local passenger transport routes , with differences , such as the atzelbergstraße pedestrian avenues and routes .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
the around 1040 kilometres in needs in a maximum of three hours should , with feuchtsalz is responsible , the better , be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are free , until the launching berufsverkehr ' .
it will be difficult , if it only at 7.30 in snow .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , feed - and are erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
the final priority have sides - and roads .
there will be complaints there , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings are removed as a priority .
the fes are usually in order to all of the cycle paths might not be concerned about .
there is a particular in frankfurt , of 22 until 4.30 p.m. , above all the bridges in the watchful eye , says brauburger .
since it is to give this quickly glätte , , as soon as the temperature falls under two degrees , of the streuer .
this will also be called by the police , if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the saw two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science the thursday .
the animal were living in today 's new mexico around 215 million years ago , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on in the north of the ghost ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
the researchers quickly as new identified some of the bones .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . '
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation is this ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and were stegosaurus .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
it has a interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae , the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you have also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column seems partly filled with air .
tawa is the oldest and , most savage theropode with luftsäcken randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of the huge sauropoden also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
therefore early separated the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , the at the time still as superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
the three can not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says today .
his opinion , a distorted picture , because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while little is to be found in other continents .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still baffling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat , with many other reptiles , for example , with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with a number of other echsen .
at the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species , while the affinities ausstarb on the border of the i of the law .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs happen , but not the other reptiles .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped years later a meteorite impact of a group of 150 million , which is also already in the animals to flourish i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .

new silicon - valley
long years it was considered secret city for western visitors inaccessible .
the capital moscow selenograd , one of ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community , with its 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .
significant research and production for micro - and so than nanoelectronics are .
since september 2008 , representatives had already selenograds contacts to frankfurt wissenschaftsstandort riedberg - linked with the uniinstituten and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .

it is about a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms will of the fiz possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .

stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 , is not even set high enough .
for the supporters of the project , it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe end up with lines , the in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed forward umzuspannen , locomotives in the back .
simultaneously , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe disappear : in frankfurt and munich should .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will , in fact , now tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , are no longer compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that , in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city , it is almost impossible to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
the railways power with , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , of - the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - believes that it will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail .
a good eur six billion , in the schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
a total of 60 greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the development of the good 180 kilometres route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
would be necessary , as a matter of urgency , to push to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
the rheintalstrecke will on the real bottleneck for the international freight transport , in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the national government has in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs ( vgh ) [ hessischer rundfunk ] will go to banning night flights in revision .
the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition have asked experts , is the more than 400 pages full vgh - judgment , to be legally examine said economics minister , mr dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh on these days in kassel had justified in writing that the country in the case of the north - west runway at frankfurt airport planned construction of the new rules to the banning night flights .
the authorisation of 17 flights between 23 and 5 p.m. , as it offered the provincial government provides , is not with the legal protection of the population against noise at night to reconcile .
the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this postponement and urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision of the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their before the election promise made to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is difficult , if word must be condemned , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in reference to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , are the statements of its never have been group to banning night flights .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
the vote on the personalie body wanted yesterday evening .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the sender , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , not to damage further the zdf - intendanten markus schächter , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine of the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the result of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
in two weeks ago schächter was with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages for brender from , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already indicated , brender not in office to want to confirm .
had the organised resistance against the koch editor of the hessische prime minister roland .
with the argument that would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
there were therefore protests until shortly before the election , in which the political influence has been plaguing the zdf .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and in the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal advisor of the chefredakteurs ; in 1991 / 92 the correspondent in washington ; by 1998 head and facilitator of the ' morgenmagazins " ; until 2001 head the zdf - foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios .
the greens , after the defeat brenders announced , on wednesday , has been elected by the branchenblatt medium magazine the journalists of the year , a complaint of unconstitutionality .
koch adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that personalvorschläge of intendanten not can be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
a withdrawal of party from the colleges of supervisors of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move - by the body immediately after the brender - stepping down , strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of president of the chefredakteurs and also the management board to choose , without in the suspicions , a partisan to coax into office .
in the parteiarithmetik will frey already classified as the liberal left - wing .
study will entrümpelt
partial for the students : after a year of bildungsstreiks drew the culture ministers of the countries on thursday , at long last a : at a meeting of the culture ministers - and hochschulrektorenkonferenz agreed both sides , to want to improve the studying conditions in undergraduate and master .
the students should be in the situation in the future , also able to solve their studies .
in the individual they agreed to , to reduce the prüfungsbelastungen : in principle will every studienmodul only conclude with a single audit .
the workload of the students and reviewed ' must also be guaranteed a realistic and acceptable level ' .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit between the universities within and outside of germany simplify .
the countries committed itself to this common strukturvorgaben for undergraduate and masters courses ' to make more flexible .
furthermore , deviating länderregelungen it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the student protest in june rectors bear culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule , with only a test , " it is in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction of the prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should be a stop to ' drift , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' must also be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules to examine how content are ' strict ' , whether in the election of the ' unnecessary einengungen the students
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
the rules should apply in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses of study .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .
the culture ministers had urged the countries in the october ' with emphasis ' , so as to bring influence to bear on the agencies that the not too big and prüfungsregime stofffülle is not to strict .
in individual länder , universities and colleges of higher education with landesministerien have already agreed on the appropriate measures .
so far as a single country said in the rhineland - palatinate additional funds for the further development of the bologna process to .
of the money is to set up the universities , above all , tutorenprogramme and study and strengthen review and auslandsämter .
country and want to universities pour eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the hochschulgesetzes to parliament .
after this , for the conclusion of a studienmodells only should be a single audit be necessary .
the studiengestaltung is to be more flexible , the recognition of leistungsnachweisen other universities must also be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master .
by the end of next year should be reviewed everything courses of the country on their studierbarkeit .
government and opposition , on thursday had argued once again on the studying conditions in the country .
in addition to praise , but it was also criticism of the decisions .
the bundesvorstand the juso - hochschulgruppen called for the shaping of education , in future , not more ' taking place behind closed doors ' of the ministers and university .
at the latest , after the bildungsstreiks should now also the students ' affected have a say ' .
support , the future academics by the president of the hochschulrektorenkonferenz ( hrk ) , margret wintermantel : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday at a meeting with the ministers of culture , with which the hrk on a common reform was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with a bachelor conclusion allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .
the countries need to clear more lecturers stop .
to a freer access to the masters , however , does not culture .
more than a footnote to herta müller
in germany and from comment is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the anfangszeile of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this issue in troubling sprachfetzen ankunftserfahrung of dissidents , the freedom of the won , but , at the same time , has lost his language .
the 1951 werner born in the romanian banat söllner had first of all , as german and englischlehrer - worked in a kinderbuchverlag in bucharest and , later , editor , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner is with various literaturpreisen he was excellent . in 1993 , the legendary frankfurter poetikvorlesungen at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessian literaturforums [ hessischer rundfunk ] in mousonturm in frankfurt .
for , he considerable außerliterarisches attention during a meeting in munich last tuesday , in the ' german literature in romania in the mirror and zerrspiegel their securitateakten ' .
report visibly confused and move söllner read out a statement , in which he before rumäniendeutschen schriftstellerkollegen , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth frauendorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian secret service securitate admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner in 1989 the german sprachpreis received .
the anwerbungsversuche have started by stealth , first 1971 .
so i am , closed söllner , ' someone who has campaigned against attempts to intimidate the securitate not enough . "
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time , with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the property of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , as far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
in its acts of securitate have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all the sensitive points at the time for him , " markel bailed out ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , speculation and will also have known , which in some case klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
a systematic information is thwarted in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate birthler authority - files ( cnsas ) has been set up in 1999 , the disclosure of files has been rather slow since then however .
there is a law only since 2005 , the management of the files .
that the influence of former securitate - members in romania is still a very large , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate - head from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
the power of the infamy said is able to express quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable questions .
why only now ? who was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time had confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives .
i am on the players received , and i have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , explained seelenklempner gross the simply sounding recipe for success , under the therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .

case kunduz
frontal attack from the opposition : green - group jürgen trittin has defense guttenberg because of the incorrect information on the kunduz affair , described as a liar .
spd and left awareness of the chancellor are calling for .
- after the recent findings to the air raid hamburg / berlin of kunduz , the opposition has defense karl - theodor guttenberg ( csu ) to a deliberate deception .

traumwelten
in wachem state some seeing pictures and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drogenrausch blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
everything is in order as long as it happens , in their sleep .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must have the wildest ideas and phantasiegebilden of these unchecked .
however , those who experienced in the period traumartige conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , is in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in the drogenrausch .
blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes paint pictures , or to write novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream and reality madness , becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in the different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
even if the trigger and effect may , the different visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of the neural , of the brain - above all , dopamin , , serotonin and noradrenaline acetylcholin derailment - and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disrupted .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
the force of gravity more about him has no power
the context of madness and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , 1861 to a " great similarity of the stated irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no more about him power , it is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
it senses enters a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting it , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain on the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer bear them , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet you attached to a noose and to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loudspeaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
too .
the noose is disappearing .
the vote you should be a lesson the cry out ' go in the clinic in trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , and let you cure ' .
today is henning t. 40 years old , it is six acute psychosis seen , the last is 2 years back , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
in the worst fear and deepest despair psychosis i have seen , he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia , at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second disease after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected mostly not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - can lead , relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
such as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten come from .
in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says the perceive reality professor thomas fox , general psychiatry oberarzt the clinic in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , will he , much as in the dream , of what is happening overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich is usually not possible to you , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , ' remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
the obsession thoughts and in reality , the verfremdung based hallucinations of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of the mother explained during pregnancy , for example , fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , not even manifestiere is also the first of all , on many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
if our brain hotly is
the stupidity is , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get what , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
this includes mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions , even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so castes , from the gedächtnisinhalten , which normally be withheld .
they are , if areas will be processed , in which have sensory , are blocked überaktiv or too little ; if our brains also hotly is or , if lack of stimulation .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - vorpommern visited and the secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
it can happen in the break that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair addresses it .
if it responds to the peers look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
they consider the timid girls to be a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as the girls in the bank in addition , they can see and hear .
it can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
i am mad ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening
the mere empty words are often also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other visually and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you waiting for the sleep in their dark room , which is , of course , far too rarely far too late and is , they can often not different , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
nothing of the parents and friends told you would think it is crazy .
autumn of 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has in the last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
in a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you contact with the psychologists castes , on the internet , you know that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likely , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , as you began with 13 learned that the man that they can daddy calls , since they thinking , is not their leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations the same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
at night images also sees caste as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients , therefore , that the hallucinations also value as a special ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and psychotherapy chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness , is also a work of art from despair .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the of the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to a standstill .
a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears visited foreign times and places : they experience as a zugsanatoriums bettlägerigen , old mann , on board , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
on the will of a greeks motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a true korean mafioso .
it is entirely to be done in the imagined , everything is real , later in the memory .
this internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is a other state , be he describes see .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
the intensity of this erlebens goes beyond the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
ultimately , oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch show how fragile our internal reflections of external reality are also in the ensure .
any change in bewusstseinszustandes , summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of reality , what we call ' .
a experience , the well can also be enriching .

mazda3 i stop : environmentally - friendly athleticism
mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , introduced on the behalf i - stop , at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats provide an excellent good ergonomics and stop good .
it is also the game of lenkrads excellent .
in view of the unity , the further out of the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colours red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
therefore , can easily be said that , both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , both converted japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a clear and groβräumiger alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by be quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who drive not many kilometres a year , this should stop with petrol engines i - whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model sportive selected a specificity , because it has a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .
auβerdem includes this version still , as if it not yet enough of resources , the package premium , which would be for an additional eur 1 500 contains the following : in addition to further elements , above all , the lernfähigen bixenon - headlamps and the soundsystem bose with cd - lader .
conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also buy the i - stop version , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
the only be negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day highest fahrspass .
a first with a great deal of ' glamour '
l. example is the red tepppich of the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
in the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy . ( photographs , more than ever before : gtresonline ) .
our ' pe ' , so elegantly , as always , opted for ' a dark lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is limited äuβerst , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without an option , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time chose to one of the products of the year .
it is to see , on the straβe rather unlikely , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little , and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success of that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same borders , however , as his american counterpart , has a surprise crisis .
the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 the month , roaming includes for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , know already , what it means , on all the data must to do , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , we need already a doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe were almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small device as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the behalf fon , even though it does not have a wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as offering the peek already in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the telephone read .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting to be able to see with the same time a computer system .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , was the clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes are very different in the stoffart , from which they are prepared .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten , together with .
the accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
the discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their maternity .
the study , open , that there is a very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of work .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house , no other work they do , only part-time work or have no permanent employment contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast , the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer to achieve this , and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem also has the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " the csic - researcher , margarita delgado says .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey the age is the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be stated in the same age women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or for the first time 32,1 mother .
in addition , there is still , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way around and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of walking fuenlabrada , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the just six kilo is , and then you from the blue missed him two fußtritte and injured so that it seriously .
it is not our outrage in words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
in addition to the erstickungsanfall that a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , as it wanted to these people because of the reprimanding incident , because it feared of their own life , even if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with every make , of the weaker than it is in itself .
the incident occurred in a normally calm neighbourhoods in a very ordinary tuesday at five o'clock in the afternoon .
all day long , the dog has geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we can not to understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animals fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
we know not where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of vans rising to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for light something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that they are so that the first increase at all after 22 with constant decline , gemäβ the successive months by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 , which are particularly bad verkausjahr with a 60 % decline in respect of the previous year was .
we must remember , however , that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole have been sold 95.853 vehicles , in this number , however , all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds what impact the demand in the most , because even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in the purchase nearly 100 % of all cases with a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this situation and in the difference to the cars , have the financial aid for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday had ganvam again remind you that , it is absolutely necessary , is also a special emphasis on the part of the state in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
the autohändlervereinigung predicted for the year 2010 as the just last a similar year , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , but to improve the protection of the fuβgänger , can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the case of a critical bremsmanövers , on the basis of the system carried out by the drivers bremsstärke on the brake recognises , to exercise .
however , this system is not until the end of this pressure .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the bremshilfe against intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and bremsabstand , therefore , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study in the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be avoided , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss is already inevitable , is the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .
the plan for opel general motors shifts until january
while the workforce of the opel plant in figueruelas ( zaragoza ) already by mr nick reilly , the new chairman of general motors ( gm ) europe , have been informed that the production of the meriva new at will start in the first aprilwoche , probably on 8 , according to javier ortega , the american car manufacturers of pointing out that it needs more time in order to bring the rescue plan for opel to a conclusion .
the new chairman mr nick reilly , namely that achieve that , by gm europe wants to the affected side their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , that first , the workers , and then there are the governments of the countries , in which it works , will be presented until will postpone in early 2010 .
dementgegen will by gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
because it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
to , gm are to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
an this buyers could be geely , which also would like to buy up volvo , however , the skyper - the option of dutch manufacturer sports , has the backing of the russian group converg , more and more support .
if it should come to an agreement with any of these buyers , gm some assets to the chinese baic could sell .
the decision to schlieβen saab the end of the year , if it is not been sold until then , will continue to maintain .
on the tax of porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their most recent and very expensive jewel the engineers the boxster s used as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now only 1.275 kilos brings to the balance .
in order to create something , would you , as a first to the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a zeltleinwanddach with manuellem accord , so that we alone has , thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning still time 13 ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilos have been reduced ; saved by the fitting of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also by the renunciation of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe achieved by the lack of kilo handles from substance .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
the reduction of its weight , but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since we have already not long probegefahren more as a small and light model , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed .
it is a small athlete , to be able to flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car power everything , with our hands what we him the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he is doing it with the precision of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is managed and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that can change the motorgeräusche , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable brutally , regardless of whether from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , was quite damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route almost nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trends of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found on the morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a car , with which to indescribable fahrspass has , as it otherwise it is rather rare and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 in his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group of the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 of the assessment ) .
the team from vitoria could the significant defaults of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose of to use and replace teamwork , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great right from the perimeter with 16 rated triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory .
the game began with the leadership of the blauroten , which is from the outset the tip of the anzeigentafel .
since the first four baskets of the team from vitoria already came from the perimeter out , we have already guess that they had come to the playing field with reheated handgelenken well .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , to continue to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic began as the best of his team with 13 points , to highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the mote can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer remind you once again that not everyone on their level playing field is attacking again and again , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' they came back to the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) ' the helm .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , a few prepare gambits with accuracy had to once again , in order to get air and in one of them the suddenly emerged gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that , on the anzeigentafel by ( 54 - einberuhigender distance to 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .

many thanks !
after the tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets the prevailing mood on the markets has been returned , on the markets is the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , since this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker take decisions on an inherently uncertain future .
it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , to pay the debt with the direktkauf of assets and indirectly to let the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of the countries of the euro area to germany .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
on the other hand , a degree of uncertainty is detrimental not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , the had tried , once again to the staff of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits had led to the loss of jobs , slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , on a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
a government , which conceals the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made in italy there berlusconi and sócrates in portugal , mr barroso .
it makes no sense at the beginning of the year that ecofin hungary from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens with the need of auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts are , it would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same speed as the european unternehmensboni increase .
but should reduce the differences between the european and are , to continue to increase the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . a groβteil during the early here indicators of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not long life span .
once again , it is the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as ' caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the subcommittee of the parliament , where in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply of spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , some stichpunkte galán the press was about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola , however , is of the opinion that we should not invest more in an increase in the energy , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , to the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more is needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by others ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , as to create incentives for the national kohleverbrauch , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle them .

this receives as president of the fourth us - , but only when the third , directly in the price to take office .
the white house already envisaged that obama in the adoption of the price will be discussing the war in afghanistan .
the president wants to not avoid this issue , because he knows that it takes on the price as a president , leads to the time war in two countries .
the war efforts he has a few days ago compounded by sending more troops to afghanistan , which none of its critics forgets to highlight .

the sorting waste container in brno smell not good
in prague , the people the drinks packaging sorting , in the south moravian villages will be back on step and enters the sorting waste container .
and in brno ?
there should be a few minutes reserve , in order to find the appropriate waste tonnes .
i will not say that the waste separation in brno would not work at all .
but it is me above , al if the gentlemen of the council is inadequate take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
separate brno is in the waste in the jungle league , not only because we as citizens here in the sorting container always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all through the mülltonnen number for such waste .
you have some time in the centre tried , for example the dispose of pet bottles in a basket of collection ?
this is art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
the only body , which i accidentally found in the until now , is that of moravia place towards the goose made .
mr onderka us his colleagues should not get angry , but that strikes me far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste separation is also in other parts not honey simple .
whole ranks my friends sorting this waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the waste tonnes .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the ceremony offered to dispose of a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets i have seen no colour mülltonnen in sight .
fortunately i came in road bahnfahren in the right place .
but almost on the waste expired .
this is but is still the centre of brno , thus making the whole city is represented , not true ?
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetics leaves the brünner socialists probably cold .
the city they buy an ice hockey league , the us in the whole republic disgrace power , rather than to buy a pair of waste tonnes more and to offer the sorting of further raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have sought a while on the internet .
after the data to society eko - com is genuinely in brno whole district south moravia worst since .
the " paroubek ' - budget has the money for pensions and health money from
after the left party despite the view of the government gave money to the farmers and officials , more , is no money in the budget for pensions , health and building society rules more money available .
but nor for the public debt interest or for the international court disputes .
the causes which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the financial minister eduard janota says .
when the social democrats and communists won the salary increase for some groups , they expect to see the government , the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sick money in addition borrows . " this is only a postponement of the problems in the future , mines , " says janota .
from the loans will always pay higher interest rates , and we must exclude eventually have to return the money .
too much to choice , where the state coffers are empty .
if the social services or costs for the state are business , not be reduced to increase the tax .
for all , which the left - wing party now , the teachers were more money : the fire - fighters , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
with the pensions or the health of money , the account of 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the state coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota the debt will increase as ever more quickly and together with this , the cost and interest rates .
the state will need the money for the compensation , then already will no longer suffice to increase the value added tax slightly or to cut the maternity money , as the government in its against deficit - package .
because of the money externalisation in favour of certain groups of voters in next year , five billion for lack of development of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
the most received , which is also not free of charge .
this means late or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money creation , the spokesman of the ministry of transport , karel warns hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that solves it the flow of money afraid - they attacking cez stock dividends , with which the state owner of the majority is , and then the money from this in the transport fund be paid out .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is by no means a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year be paid from the liquidations environmental damage - the dividends , topped up the pension account and this also serves as a reserve money for the planned pensions reform .
with this trick rising moreover , following the rules of the eu , the actual budget deficit to the nieveau by 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion fell the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of crime or for expenditure for the court disputes , even for the bausparen .
whether the state manage without this money , is not safe .
this is pure gambling .
if we lose an international court dispute , then we must which pay anyway , clarifies janota .
the money , then the minister , we must save internally or in the worst case portfolio budget reserve attack the government .
a hundred million lack also for the two billion already begun ' treasury ' project , which should allow , on- line to monitor , for as regards the individual authorities spend the money .
the first stage starts in january .
the finance ministers should find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .
their next smartphone will dominate two operating systems
the americans count for the future with a mobile phone , on the user by pressing a single button between various operating systems could tune .
the plans submitted see promising .
it is , only to push a button and , for windows mobile , within a few seconds in exchange android .
the american society wants to precisely such a possibility vmware imagine , mainly focused on the development of the virtual softwares for the computer .
we allow them , on the mobile phone two users profiles at the same time to carry out .
you can switch between this , you could work in two home - and these profiles separate .
both are work in parallel , indicated by the company vmware srinivas krishna murti the interview for the magazine computer world .
it was presented in november last year and a few days ago for the first time shown .
on the market will come in 2012 .
the virtualization the smart phones is not a fiction .
the journalists already vmware introduced the smart phone test model with two operating systems successfully .
one was a modified nokia n800 with a ram - storage of 128 mb , on the parallel the mentioned systems windows mobile and android were at the same time .
the development of the new technology for mobile phones is authorised in full .

snow lack plaguing hotel owners on the mountains
scneelose pisten make sorgenn not only the giant mountains - residents .
the lack of snow discourages the appointment of the people of ski stay in hotels and pensions .
we can therefore in giant mountains still free rooms for all winter dates incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
our pages are often visited .
the people go the offers , note the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint , binding .
and if you ask us to call it immediately , whether our opinion after the christmas this year on snow or ' on matsch ' will be that the operators in the information portal spindl.info , martin jan dura .
who the new year stay in the spindel mill exactly to his ideas , should not hesitate more with the appointment .
of the who prefers saving and quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to wait a few days for .
the spindel mill hotel owners offer now for the silvestertag largely only weeks stays .
i think that you are a long time , will endeavour to sell them , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .
and then the free room will quickly dwindle , jan dura estimated .
free beds in all winter dates always provides always also the travel office ing tours in vrchlabi .
now we are most interested in the christmas week , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the jobs still freely .
therefore we have already prepared some cheaper christmas stays for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ing tours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant mountains the vrchlabi travel office can also offer , but there is a less free jobs .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining winter deadlines be sold on average .
in this year is the interest for the winter stays also negatively affected by the fact that in giant mountains is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
nobody wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the pisten within a week , be verschneit , will also be the christmas compromising schiefert says .
the other way round and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .
on silvestertag and christmas we only have a few free rooms .
there are great interest in the polish holidays in the janua , and in february , the rules will also go well , informed the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
for 80 % of the new year 's eve stays is also the hotel omnia the central lines in janske lazne occupied .
it remains to christmas in the most recent hotel in janske still half the beds free lazne .
pleasant struck us in the january this year , for which we are currently occupied already around 60 % .
now is a bit weaker the february , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant mountains , the director of the hotels omnia , erik sporysch .
on a greater snow mess are the giant mountains hotel owners now .
on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , should that be on the mountains snow .
but it is intended to restore a warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech weather office in hradec kralove .
us : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost comical pupils strebsamkeit barack obama , with which the president with its reputation of the brightest , his predecessor 's strategy in afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its eagerly awaited afghanistan - doctrine ausschwitzte , it is that he showed this on the copying paper from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that he in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of his own declaration : ' new forward way ' , used without hesitation .
he has even three years ago the bush idea - fresh contingents in the troubled send iraq by the civil war , as the ' irresponsible and in their conclusions karastrophische criticised decision ' .
but showed that the subsequent months of the recommendations of military outgoing bush strategy was the only possible and , in this respect , very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation this has not improved , because he has his successor objectively behind a much dankbarere starting situation , when it was to be expected .
in afghanistan barack obama hopes of the fact that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , especially the upper stanley mccristal - general , the operation commander of the afghanistan - even despite the subordination habits criticised the vacillating protect hard in the white house .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is to have a better idea and so he has the general wenistens 10,000 soldiers cheated .
from europe he has the commitment pressed for another 5,000 , even if it itself at least 10 000 originally expected .
on the whole be obama strategy is highly problematic projects , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan already in 18 months , and complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as the measure halved in iraq will bring .
also despite the brother of recent years , is the iraq war - society relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the counter indication - on no one can be kept and there will be no agreements rely .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces , which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they were created , remain just a veneer formally correct buildings , which will excel towards the patriarchal tribal relations further .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to the confusion of the situation , the pakistan - and the iran - complicate influences even further .
also the building of a viable ' state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama - strategy surprised by his voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , the in the war cries about the ' early return ' has broken out , are a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which will not impress of facts .
from the political view is the date for the withdrawal of troops mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as the american defeat , receive the indirect confession .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to participate in the battles in afghanistan , is running out .
europe politicians can and want to also not explain to their voters , the way in which the security germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush , mountain connected .
another possible factor , which can influence the situation radically , is the development of events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions on the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this question must be answered in the period , in the america after obama withdrawal from afghanistan is the winner .
but any solution will also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only consolation plaster for barack obama is the fact that three years until the presidential election remain , and therefore remains enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove total default would .
the managers of the bank goldman sachs receive no more premiums bonuses in cash
the senior leaders of the american bank goldman sachs received in this year no more premiums bonuses in cash .
the company has announced that responded to the severe criticism from their wage practices .
a group of 30 top managers is rather than of the money stock , which we can sell but only in five years .
furthermore , the stock can be deprived of the managers in the case , if they act excessively risky .
goldman sachs is so in accordance with the agency reuters , at the forefront of the effort the premium bonuses of wall street to link with long- term performance .
i believe that the wall street on further direction is aware , in which it has to go , the former bankers the jpmorgan , douglas elliott , of society .
the problem lies in the details , it added .
goldman sachs , to target of criticism , having for the first three quarters almost $ 17 billion this year had set aside for premiums bonuses .
the overall level of premiums bonuses in the course of this jahra will , after the agency reuters probably despite , too , the measure reported today exceed 20 billion dollars .
the high premiums bonuses in the banking sector , with the start of the financial crisis in a series of länders become the most controversial political issue .
britain reported on wednesday that it intends to exceed the bankers ' bonuses , the 25,000 pound unique , with a tax of 50 % to burden .
similar steps is also preparing france .
in this year the prizes have women in all disciplines won , except in physics .
five record women have deskönigs in stockholm today from the hands of sweden carl xvi gustaf the this year 's nobel prizes in the specialist categories accepted and for literature .
in addition to the four women scientists was under the german writer romanian abkunft , herta müller , including .

the last laureatin granted the prize for economics , the american elinor ostrom and your compatriot oliver williamson report for analyses of the economy have received .
the only subject category , no woman in the year a prize , was physics .
this price the scientists have today charles kao for the research in the field of fiber optics - and george smith together with willard boyl for the ccd - chip invention , the basis of all digital kammeras , fax machines or astronomical fernrohre is .
everyone has this prize , the nobelmedaile of the diploma and certificate on the acquisition of the prize money .
the ten million swedish kronor is in each category .
if there are several prize in each category , the price of money will be distributed amongst them .
tradition in accordance with the american president , barak obama , has the most expected already received nobel peace prize in oslo today afternoon .
he has recognised the kontrovere his appointment in his speech , because it is only the beginning of its path , and , furthermore , in the tip of the country , the two wars - in iraq and afghanistan .
in keeping its policy , but he added that wars in certain situations for the fight of the world peace is necessary , even if the price is heavily for doing so .

mandela was in the new film by clint eastwood of morgan freeman played
the south africans claim that the new hollywood movie " invictus : the ungeschlagene " of world much of the country shows , whose fight and win despite some criticisms that the main role was occupied by an american actor .
tells the story of sport , racial conditions and on nelson mandela .
the tireless campaigner against the racist apartheid system of government in the south african republic and its first black president , nelson mandela , is in its life history of the american oscar actor , morgan freeman .
freeman said that he was asked by the mandela einundneunzig year whether it could be in the eastwood movie .
a further important takes full role damon alike .
i told him : " i if you will , i must they play meeting .
the seventy - two years of actors , the price for its role in the field of eastwood - drama from the box ' had received million dollars baby ' , was already the leader of the movement towards the abolition of slavery , from the final has become the slave owners , a fictitious us president , and also god in ' evan omnipotent ' , but rarely someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people like mandela .
the former was südafrikanische state man for his active at the end of apartheid in the southern african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was released in 1990 to undfür four years he was president of the country .
in 1993 it was the nobel peace prize .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , in the years 1875 was issued .
the requirement to speak , as he was
the film , a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugby team , francois pienaar join , to the country to some . the new president mandela also know that his people post- apartheid still remains in terms of racial and shared economically .
he believes that he be people through sport can agree , that is why he , the decides rugby players , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .
finally , the south african team is up in the world of the year 1995 .
freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela history to the cinema screens .
he had no different objective , than this role to play so , in order that the real to closer together as closely as possible , freeman said .
the greatest challenge was , of course , so to speak , as he .
the actor said , if he and the world politicians would be in the same country that he would try to meet with mandela , to evening to eat with him and , above his speech to be behind the scenes .
the most important thing for him , was to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i schüttele you hand , i accept their energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
damon alike , in the film françois pienaar , captain of national teams , in which the white players rugby have triumphed .
the actor said that he has had six months time , prepare themselves for the role in the hard rugby world .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first time in his house .
i , as i remember the door bell rang that he opened up to françois pienaar and the first thing i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .
despite the obvious differences in the stature of the actors in comparison with their real role models , under the leadership of the film director , it has received eastwood ' invictus : ungeschlagen ' positive reviews and there is also talk of prospects of a oscar .
the film critic of the newspaper daily variety , todd mccarthy , summed up his evaluation of the following words : " that was very good history , ausgeführter film very good . '

light secret on norway dissolved : the russians have tested a missile
on norway was a special light effect of unknown origin to observe .
the russian ministry of defence , only yesterday has admitted that the norwegian border near an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested .
but the launch was not successful and again the rocket described as a type " bulava that originally should be the pride of the russian army , and the prime minister is slowly to the nightmare of the russian generals , vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the missile test has had no positive effect on the success of the test flights .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
we have in the russian newspapers writes about ' bulava ' than a rocket ' that not flying ' .
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
presumably in the third stage missiles exploded the engine .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij that under the water of the white sea .
this raketentyp allows launch from the submarine .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious light on north caused by an unspecified fliegendes object because was actually the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
the generals is challenged on this occasion and has claimed that one can talk not clearly from a failure .
the first two stages of the missile came not from and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases have been at the same time the engines in the first stage damaged .
even if no test start without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of three ten for unsuccessful .
the almost 50 % success therefore fulfilled the generals with optimism and it will continue to claimed that the ' bulava ' again fly without problems , and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads with a total weight of max . will bear 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance that is also in 's tempered 's hiv viruses
the team of czech and the german scientists testing , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv viruses on the organism .
the main advantage of improved substance is that it is also in the viruses who already are resistant to medicines .
this fact outweigh against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus does not so much variants , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
the patients can extend the compilation of medicines but the life and prevent the proliferation of hiv viruses in the body .
but their income will be accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction has also the development sg . resistant viruses to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the experts from three institutions of the academy of sciences cr , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane effect on the protein substance , is the responsible for expansion of hiv viruses .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links the virus reproduction block on all other than medicines used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new 's improved 's links , on the basis of knowledge of molecular mechanism their fixing on the viruses - protein substance were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , which from bor - , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms and by a metal - nuclear , in this case cobalt , are linked .
pet tückisches and lasting virus
hiv protease is protein substance of the hiv virus , is for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would create no tyres infection viruses particles .
if we switch off the hiv protease , we involve the increase in the body of the virus of the patients from , the scientists in the press , the report by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry of the academy of sciences cr was issued .
in the work in the science newspaper journal of medicinal chemistry was published , describing the scientists whole ranks of the links in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked through a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
, but rather weaker reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won by hiv - infected patients .
the impact of metalokarborane on the usual enzyme variant , is not so much as the medicines used clinically , however , will not lose their effects on the resistant variants , against which the medicines used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism and their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and possibility of further chemical shaping , makes the metalokarboranen interesting links for further research , focused on the development of effective medicines against hiv says pavlina rezacova , head the laboratories for structural biology of the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and molecular genetics the academy of sciences of the institute .
armed because budget . ods on fishing , the does
the chairman of the ods , mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime by jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the expression of the ods the prime minister called as " strong worry " .
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
the ods deputy chairman , petr necas , said that the concept of the officials cabinet with the support of the ods and cssd , green party obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends to rely in parliament to the minority , if it is the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parliament left .
the approach of the ods and the social democrats , to the issue of the public deficits is diametrically differently , necas has pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with left - wing party - amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
parliament has the money for state officials salaries , for the maintenance of social services and increased for direct payments to farmers .
the government has keeping to the proposals of the social democracy that they increase conceals the budget deficit .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods before the vote has left the chamber fulfilled , it is the wish of the government , because the amended budget is only a less bad variant of the budget provisional . frase emergency clear
disappointment and futility
the finance minister , eduard janota , spoke about his disappointment and a sense of futility led , while prime jan fischer has judged that the government , the current situation .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation in the event , that the amendment proposals were approved , the situation would look different .
in accordance with the czech television has janota after the rules for monday government registered with the prime .
he has indicated that he be another remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
to what extent fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so in accordance with necas have the nominanten social democracy , ( cssd ) , which imposed the changes in the budget , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue deficit - enhancing laws , for example concerning the money , the health and pension , or the services law changed .
topolanek : the wrong by ods nominated minister not
it is a matter of the prime minister fishermen and the whole government .
the ministers have not made mistakes , nominated by the ods has topolanek highlighted in the text news from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against to abandon the deficit level of public finances , ' it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then he supposedly with the support and tolerance of the citizens democrats cannot count .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i will deal so that , of the said citizens democrats nominated defence minister martin bartak the journalists in parliament .
prime fishermen afternoon the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
necas at the same time , stressed that the ods probably on wednesday in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime the members of the citizens democrats would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , we are not small children , so it will be on the question of whether the ods responded in the political negotiating on the budget by its absence of the party chairman in the parliament and in the czech republic has not been pushed back .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .
already renounced the mandate when i , i knew that it in coming months in particular to bolshevism of parliament and destruction everything would be positive , responded topolanek itself .

in this year the regional guidelines are czech sek 200 million more expensive .
for the local guidelines and the fast trains , the railway a ten - year treaty new , up to the treaty has now been completed always only concluded for a year .
the railways , perhaps it has also extols the system that is why not use of the increase in the price of the great majority of the tickets .
it is only to changes in day network fahrscheinen cd net and in favourable internet fahrscheinen eliska .

jan worry about cases of slander against three head for the cssd .
the owner of the student agency , radim jan worry about that , today offence of defamation against three social - democratic leaders .
against michal hasek from the district of south moravia , from the district of radko martinek pardubice and the leader of the province of olomouc , martin tesarik .

vaccination against pneumokokken voluntarily free of charge , and
imfung against pneumokokken change from january the usual .
they should be first free of charge to the families and be voluntary .
but now to vote in that report the obligation - vaccination would be more effective .
the preparations for the introduction of free vaccination against pneumokokken culminate .
the institute of medicine is already implementing the maximum prices have to pay the vaccines that the health insurance .
the experts are also on the vaccination procedures in the clear .
new vaccination
vaccines for august free - children
from january children can be vaccinated against pneumokokken free , on 2 august last year and later were born .
st the condition that they have not received any impfdosis yet .
who with the vaccination has already started in last year or earlier , further repetition vaccination self- must also pay .
the first impfdosis between 3 and 5 life must be given month of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
the parents paid 1600 kroner and more for a dose .
for the vaccination of the youngest children required are four doses .
in the whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for spend sek 300 , 000 to the quantities 450 000 per year .
they save but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has vaccination of children for all farmland spent around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
pneumokokken central ear pneumonia , but also heavy infections cause including brain skin inflammations and blood poisoning .
by pneumokokken infections in us die after investigation in hospitals per year up to 28 children under 10 years of age .
outside of the czech republic , the duty - vaccination of children against pneumokokken was introduced in some 40 countries .
the vaccination will be duty ?
at the same time it is said that this vaccination in future duty could be .
from january it should be paid for by the insurance and voluntarily .
mentioned that the obligation - vaccination would be better , for example , the leader of the citizens ' association nahlas , mr rudolf kalovsky .
its association , already pneumococcal vaccination in the long term .
the experts on the international conference , was involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .
i believe that this is the road that we must go now , led kalovsky .
the ministry of health but the vaccination proceedings against pneumokokken not wants to change .
in this moment we consider the not at all , be vlastimil spokesman said sesen .
the voluntary vaccination has their disadvantages , claim the doctors .
the chairman of the specialist society of practical children are doctors , hana cabrnochova , that a voluntary vaccination has its drawbacks .
if all children would be vaccinated , then we could consider the possibility of reducing the repetition vaccination number ' in a situation in which the vaccine is so expensive , we understand the political decision that this was launched vaccination as a voluntary , " says allerdingst cabrnochova .
the experts expect that more than 80 % of the parents their babies against pneumokokken inoculated from next year .
the vaccination against pneumokokken is path - breaking it is also that this as a first set vaccination will be paid for by the health insurance and not by the state .
the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors must buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical children doctors , the concerns the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original project should the vaccines are purchased by the insurance and the doctors who receive them on the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
however , some members have feared that the insurance as ' the money from the health insurance could lead ' .
the doctors buy the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance you pay for them .
after the estimates , the individual practical will need to invest doctors per month sek 40 000 , which is a significant sum .
this will not be easy , cabrnochova says .

the conservatives said , alistair darling ' pass ' , would have an opportunity to show that it with reducing the deficit he meant by the decisions until after the election , postponed .
chancellor of the exchequer , also for came under fire that he aimed at of workers with low and middle - income .
to its main proposals include a 0.5 - % increase in social insurance and a 1 % wage capping border of the public for 2011 .
social insurance trouble
the trade unions have protested that low wage earners be penalized for a recession , they have not caused and warned that the forthcoming ' problems ' .
the increase in the social insurance - to approximately gbp 3 billion per year – has angered the private sector , who says that this is a tax on jobs , while the emphasis should be on the economic recovery .
the increase , which is , the limited to those who earn more than £ 20 000 per year , will relate to roughly 10 million workers .
the preliminary budget priorities report

according to estimates of the treasury will someone with an annual income of £ 30,000 £ by 90 per year be poorer and someone with £ 40,000 per year will be £ 190 poorer , while a person with £ 10 , 000 £ annual income 110 will be richer .
the minister said , its objective of deficit halving until 2013 means " difficult decisions , " but you also said that 60 % of the burden of additional taxes on 5 % of the top income would remove .
financial minister stephen timms denied that the outlined tax hikes and spending freeze , compared to the necessary measures ' would be a drop in the ocean ' .
' these are large numbers . they will give us the deficit halving and this is also absolutely necessary for the period of the next four years ' he said the bbc with .
timms said that he is confident that the economy until the end of the year would return to the growth .
predictions of the labour party on the future economic growth – which the extent of the new debt and the speed of the deficit be influenced removal – were challenged , after chancellor of the exchequer was forced to revise , former figures .
he said in its opinion , the economy will probably in this year to shrink 4.75 % - much more than the drop of 3.5 % , the was predicted in april – while debt with £ 3 billion would be higher than previously estimated .

' you have nothing of importance , said about what it is going to do , the shadow said finance philip hammond . ' they had their own opportunity to do this , and you have leave it ' .
' the important announcements will not be made until after the election , whoever they win " .

labour insists that schools , hospitals and the police before any future cuts be preserved , unlike in the proposals of the conservative , what the deficit capping quicker and more to see .
but the liberal democrats said that the money that will be gained through the tax hikes and spending freeze , is used , in order to cover the expenditure for the next year , not in order to reduce the deficit , and argue , therefore , that the plans are built on sand ' . '
the political editor of the bbc , nick robinson , said that things at the time of the declarations - as the above inflation in the next april – adjustment in some invalidity pensions would suspend the charge of the vote fishing chancellor of the exchequer , simply because the money could be brought back next year .
labour insists , to provide the extra aid , when people truly need them most and that the situation in september 2010 will be re- examined .

the islam can be french ?
in a secular state , pluralism and pragmatism .
at a time when the swiss electorate for a ban on building voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the most avowedly säkularisier societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
this new be some readers book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( original title : ' why the french don 't like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a dispute that the country over one and a half decades told and employees and their impact , are still exercise today .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and more kühneres range .
would he not only like to know what , as a good anthropologist the politicians and the media say about islam in france , but what happens in the area really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
it is a good listeners , it gives debates between teachers and students , on the questions of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs her marry a non- muslim man ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a interest - oriented banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is these seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims that the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars and academics born in switzerland .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim citizens and , on the other hand , a good state to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
the conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists , questioned the bowen , with their salafi counterparts are usually divided – advocates of puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia is – the nowadays a small but influential presence among europe 's muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that could be muslim compatible values and french secularism .
however , a convention requires a give and take on both sides .
he queries to what extent french policymakers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
he suggests that muslims possibly a rougher treatment as the catholics , protestants and jews know , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
he recognizes rather a " tightening up of values screws " than a growing pragmatism .
the islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this paper , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
most of the bleak outlook in the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other environmental region on the earth .
which characterizes you , the ice cap melts with an alarming rate and takes away lives that can survive anywhere else .
oil , gas , schifffahrts and fishing interests went in the newly open water , with diplomats , lawyers and now also authors in their wake .
richard ellis , an author and illustrator , is in ' on thin ice ' ( original title : ' on ice alcohol ' ) , a natural history of the icon of the north of the polar bears .
exercised in the history of the complicated and policy of whaling , he describes the long tradition of arctic erforscher , which have proved themselves in the quest for the polar bears .
admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich at sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears , which have been caught , as they behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers schwammenthal , were brought in zoos and circuses .
a circus performance in the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears a vision .
even today zoo plants have still typically a millionth of the life of wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was quite green of the algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .

ellis refers to the reports of other authors and historians and often to the threat return , the hunters for the survival of species .
although in norway , america and russia , banned , it goes succumbed in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and engine sleigh - travelling inuit powerful assault rifles use , in order to bring their spoils to line .
ironically , in the waters of the north of these two hunting nations the ice the longest remain .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( original entitled " after the ice ' ) offers alun anderson , a former editor of the scientific magazine ' new scientist ' , a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and an packenden insight , as the future could develop .
not to say that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmosphere scientists still ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .
this , however , is not to attempt a lack of declaration .

the society is working on projects for customers , such as usaid , the us agency for international development , and for the world bank .
consular officials of the representation of interests of the us in havana try , to gain access to the prisoner , who was arrested on 5 december .
the specific charges have not yet been published , although cuban right a cuban citizen or an foreign visitors for almost everything , under the accusation of the ' risk ' can be arrested .
all the so-called counter revolutionary activities , the slight protests and critical writings include , carry arrest of a risk .
anti- government graffiti and statements are regarded as a serious crime .
cuba has a growing bloggers community , which will be led by the popular reporter yoani sánchez , the often describes how she and her husband and be pursued and attacked by government representatives .
sánchez has repeatedly asked for permission to leave the country , in order to take prices , but this is always been rejected .
the arrest of an american contractor is probably the tensions between the communist government of the castro - brother in cuba and the obama government increase , a " slow " proximity to the improvement of relations with the island had sought .
the news of the arrest of the new york times reported was first last friday night .
the new us policy attaches importance to the united states will provide a contribution , if the cuban government concrete steps in this direction , as release political prisoners and the creation of more room for opposition .
mobile phones and notebooks are legally in cuba , although they are new and coveted products in a country , in which the average earnings of an government officials $ 15 per month .
since this year , the cuban government only allowed normal citizens the purchase of a mobile phone , they are mainly used for text news , because a 15 - minute telephone conversation would cost a daily wage .
the use of the internet is on the island extremely limited .
it is in expensive hotels and there for foreign visitors and on some government , as universities , accessible .

vivanco said that the defendants very often arrested , would be sentenced and imprisoned within one day .
he said that would be politically probably any solution and that the cuban government often provoking a negative reaction in the united states , just at the time when both countries are for more readiness for dialogue , move towards each other .
pakistani government representatives cover plan , to send men to afghanistan
pakistani authorities discovered on saturday a supposedly leading head a conspiracy , aimed at that , five men from northern - virginia to send to afghanistan , in order to kill us soldiers , and said that they hope , this case , could help an extensive network to detecting terrorist recruiting sergeant the internet after radicalised young men absuchen .
investigators said that they had sought a opaque insurgents , known as the saifullah , , the men had invited to pakistan after he had made they find , because one on the internet - video side youtube favourably inclined to terrorist attacks had made .
saifullah following their arrival in pakistan , the leader of this men and tried to help them to achieve the remote area in pakistan 's tribal belt , of the home of al qaeda and its terrorist training camps is .
but a representative of pakistan 's secret service , the said about the matter has been informed , on saturday , saifullah persuaded the al-qaeda leaders , not that the men not part of a cia conspiracy to undermine the terrorist network are .
as a result , they were detained on days in the eastern city of sargodha , far removed from the inhospitable mountains in the north - west , which have become a terrorists refuge .
they were seen as part of a covert operation .
therefore they were rejected , said the government officials , who wanted to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter .
the government officials said that the men were not discouraged and will continue , tried to maintain the right recommendations , in order to gain access to the al-qaeda camps , when they were arrested by the pakistani law enforcement authorities .
the case of the five men - which are still in pakistan and be interviewed by the fbi - underlines the vital role of recruitment agencies in the identification of future terrorists and possibly even more importantly , in the decision , who is trustworthy .
since the attacks of 11 september 2001 , the us secret services to a matter of the utmost urgency , human asset made within of al qaeda .
recruiters the organisation act as guardians , those not letting in , whose commitment for the holy war is not seriously enough and such , could be the spies .
american would - be recruits from a qaeda a specific examination , said analysts .
owing to their potential access to us objectives and their propaganda value but they will also regarded as extremely attractive to the group .
evan kohl mann , highest ranking analysts of the nefa - foundation with seat in the us , said that terrorist groups are in the past years also become much more cautious in this regard , whom you will allow access , because the us secret services are experts become their recruitment methods .
if you try to someone in these groups infiltrate , what better way we could go than to follow the recruitment model , which so many have already followed ? , said kohl man .
much more now , the model is based on the internet .

demonstrators 100,000 people said that joined the event whereas police estimates more had by approximately 25,000 .
the event was relatively peacefully , although a handful of masked activists small devices in the vicinity of some government in the inner city in detonated buildings .
on a day , as happened in the climate negotiations little promoted by the un , thousands of activists with transparent through the city , on which in english ' there is no planet b ' and one in spanish , the stated ' the earth says ' enough ' .

this is part of the reasons why i have decided to participate in the large demonstration pass - for the floor and to appeal to the world leader , to bring about a fair , ambitious and binding agreement , she said .
it is not an easy task , but it must be done now and there is no way leads more , the around it .
the police , the demonstrators from close to the bella centre and said that you should have been arrested 19 people , mainly due to the fact that they were either hooded or pocket knife mitführten .
according to the danish law , these actions during demonstrations are prohibited .
in accordance with a viewer , who are not mentioned , because it wanted to in the climate negotiations is involved , burned masked demonstrators in black clothes several explosives in the vicinity of the copenhagen main canal , near where several ministries .

then he went in continuing mandarin and said , " because of the large venue is , i cannot hear what happened outside ' .
he stated that it from the perspective of the individual hillsides , whether the demonstration would help or harm .

on the other hand , " you can also say , that they disturb the negotiations or the freedom of other people ' .
examination data show persistent racial gap
the performance certificates to mathematics were welcome last week good news for public schools in washington d.c.
although the district washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the certificates show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national evaluation of the educational progress ( national assessment of educational programme - naep ) is included , is the persistent performance divide between african - american and white pupils , both at local , and national level .
the average point number of white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american counterparts , but only three points rose from 209 to 212 .
the current gap between 2007 and 2009 , in reality , which rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
the average number of point white pupils was not included in the test data was not big enough , because the spot scope .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
the gap , which separated white and black viertklässler 2003 , as the first naep has been covered in this district , fraud 60 scale points ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the number of point that children have achieved both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
last week some education supporters of the southern district expressed their concern that the results of school chancellor michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , the largest part of white pupils , who are already strong children , were driven forward .
this intimates that we the overall assessment at the top end of the scale by the treatment of those who have raised , which is difficult and problematic said jeff smith , member of the board of the dc voice , a nonprofit group for the equal education in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , said the democratic washington councillor member , kwame a daughter , in the fourth r. brown , who has the eaton primary school classes .
brown , a frequent critics of the management style of rhee , said , the message of the assessment figures point is that the city the secondary schools need urgent attention .
of course you would always see the positive signs , i respect that .
what frightens me , however , is that we not nearly the devote time and energy , using the funds we for our school should .
rhee said , the district must continue to find better ways , in order to meet the needs of the weak - achieving pupils .
in this autumn , for example , some will teachers , trained in a new read curriculum , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary school and resources aimed at school , what basic skills of reading not at the start of their school career have mastered and significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , from nursery school up to the sixth class games and the emphasis on real - life experience , under the former senior school inspector clifford janey according to washington and this curriculum be some of the naep - progress , which have been attributed to , reported last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , are under the central level , rhee said .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the overall performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and resources can be made available for the performance of weak schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education at the university of california at berkeley , results of the urban audit investigated .
the conventional cure is , and its resources management reforms at schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work to this important item .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban school inspectors that they tried to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we create a system great schools .
we must strengthen our schools in the city areas , so that all families , irrespective of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public education can receive .
janey , is the now school inspector in newark , said in an interview this week that one of the most important elements to the closure of the current gap is , the traditional public school , and at the moment that in washington 180 days amounts to extend to compete with the charter schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 next , in order to have the power to change , janey said , with its teachers trade union last year to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
higher training for more people than future prospect
the coach achieved the gettysburg college , with a resounding pipe .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment the sight of the white pillars , the brick fronts and of the ' emerald greens lawn . '
gracielas parents have only just finished the high school in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silvermines spring and now live in river allendale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler of the group , to explore the gettysburg where the teaching per year 38.690 costs $ , was more reverence full visitor , than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for natural sciences enter the building .
" wow , really ? " she said to food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 that have visited on their three - day tour of the child and now they have completely accommodated the intended message : the question is not whether to 's college .
the question is where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , which does nothing to end the high school or pregnant are on the other hand , there are , but also as a teenager hundreds of thousands , what the college , which is necessary to obtain training , in the middle class levels .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation ' of the college hispanics americans – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , mostly from mexico came , or in central america , in the us without the high school have finished .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation that play a huge role in the work forces in the country will show , the way forward .
those who assess powerful children , say that this very often have a natural affinity for school and a driving inherent in them to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , for their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but advice programmes also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help to come in college , especially if these efforts on a longer time continue .
if we regarded income weak children whose parents have not the experience and skills , to help them in the search for a way through the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , said patricia gándara researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanic american students examined .
we must consider , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school to make available .
the federal programme had financed tour gracielas college , is a useful example .
it is known as implement up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch college - preparation programmes , the start , if incomes weak pupils in the middle school are will continue and , until you have completed the high school .
in accordance with the us department for education , the programme has since 1999 helped more than 10 million pupils , 60 % of whom more than in college gone .

iran continues to claim that the knowledge of nuclear technology should be won only for peaceful purposes .

the us government has pushed for this type of agreement in order to build confidence between the two parties and time for negotiations to gain .
the iran appears but since this time the negotiations have to rely on the provisional agreement -- partly , experts say , because the iranian leadership is split over whether they should commit themselves to the united states .

tensions between the kurds and the arab majority in the iraq are still high , in particular in relation to borders , property rights , and because the distribution of public revenues .
gates urged both sides , to reduce the potential for conflict , in order to prevent delays in the us plans , the american troops strength to reduce by 115 000 to 50 000 until the end of august .
gates also sought , the kurdish concern on the forthcoming a withdrawal of troops to dispel . to the us representatives quoted gates , masood barzani , president of the kurdish regional government , saying : ' we will their security , prosperity and their autonomy within a united iraq .

a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propaganda posters , considered that the lecture them , that " mother earth is too tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer suddenly began , to change course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their response immediately and definitively was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , said a head with a 8 - month - old son of personnel .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the one- child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen verzogenen individual children , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced a population crisis in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 , at the time fallen entered into force , this policy , the un
department for population issues , while the number of 60 years and the ageing population group in the year 2020 by 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance with educated population , is in rich coastal cities like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child - per - couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai city demographic and family planning commission has said that couples in the procreation age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population shares and to alleviate the labour shortage of future ' .
shanghai will soon ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual easing
in the country 's constitution in 1978 enshrined , , china 's one- child policy may be the most controversial disposal that was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , the breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual salary in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese state representatives have attributed to this policy is that the critical demands of natural resources country could be avoided , while human rights representative abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have some officials pregnant women , who already has a child were forced to abortion .
many couples had also implement gender selective abortion , causing a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years government representative for population gradual have moderated their attitude to a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases in which both husband and wife have been individual children -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the university for population research institute beijing said that government representatives recently even discussed more radical changes have , for example , couples to allow two children to , is where a partner individual child .
shanghai was in july to the first chinese city , the launched an aggressive campaign to promote more birth .
posters , the family belehrten , only to have a child , were replaced almost overnight of directives , which describe in detail , who for a second child compromised and how we can apply for authorisation .
the city administration has urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples visiting at home and data sheets under the doors to blame .
they also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to have , the more than a child .
the response was not encouraging said , family planning representatives .
disappointing response
although from a rural town in the foreign areas officials from shanghai said , that a recovery in the applications from couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign want a second child , the urban districts against report no change .
in the community huinan with a population of 115 000 are still per month as an example only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- slightly higher than 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the family planning committee of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give her first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juan juan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , as many chinese , only a minor health and life insurance of government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy mistakenly as a question of human rights , yang , a civil engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , leader of the staff , said that you would just like to a child , because it was also an individual child . ' we have been the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to care for others and also not really want this ' .
chen zijian , a 42 -year-old , a translation companies , the said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with double career , through the the birth rate is falling , he said , pivoting it comes to succeed and that means we must be selfish .
the today age group 20 to 39 - year - olds grew to , their parents during the early days of the chinese capitalism experiment fight to see and they want to no if such a lives for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the area question -- " we must rebuild its housing ' -- and the life planning -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have a curriculum vitae able to the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , to make this a time , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group devises plan to reduce emissions
the promoted by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and recrimination -- has again on friday , publication of a document a priority , for the next 40 years of recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , and the industrial nations in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could deliver , both the remaining obstacles manufacturers , as has also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiated , the time is assuming , as next week than 100 leaders from all over the world will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a specially was formulated , is silent on the quantity of money from the rich countries to the poor , countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
it also offers a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging countries can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit for the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , so john coequyt , a senior representatives of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , of the six page document has drafted , has summed up a negotiating text 180 pages in order to make the in the centre of what the representative of the leading climate protection of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole " .
it shows the fundamental plans for a possible agreement , in which the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce their emissions , while major developing countries would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community has the talks on friday also given a boost by its assurance , over the next three years to provide $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the champions of flooding and droughts to avoiding deforestation .
the friday , nevertheless , the same verbal fire works the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american climate has special envoy todd stern began wordings rejected , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions for greater demand emerging countries , if this not be financed by the industrial nations .
this train the obama government announced that a tougher line with china , as representative of the bush government is not even two years ago .
the united states are going to sign any agreement without that greater emerging countries stand up and take measures , so star also lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , to ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern , its opinion was a time after the statement by the chinese deputy foreign minister hey yafei , which stated that it the leading american climate negotiators either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
the fact that the future economic direction of the world 's major powers at stake , have , both within the industrial nations , as also between the industrial nations and opened up the fault lines emerging countries .
the current fight relates also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , and china and the united states , which , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries would ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung greenhouse gas emissions , because even countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high greenhouse gas levy to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , implying will develop new economic domination , so of ulate , also as a regional climate change advisers for conservation internationally is active in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding agreement in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , early on friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur until - butcher , the leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , said that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " partly because they are now united and measures the emerging countries , such as china and of india , demand .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
high - level representatives , as the indian environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen their aircraft and around through the bella centre 's corridors to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
the mere extent of the assembly -- 13,000 people go on a daily basis in congress centre and from activists , gitarre match organise night shows , in which they laugh is on the countries , the betrayed their opinion and selling , and draft treaty will be passed on hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
the intensity builds just on that almost all the important ministers are here , and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president said for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
the heavyweights come .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the monday feeling new
monday morning at 5 o'clock 13 will be a pipe penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a train departure , which represents a revolution in transport in britain .
the first high - speed commuter train in the country is in its lightning journey from ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes on board the first javelin commuter services from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains will ankoppeln and the large urban areas the midland region , and of the north of scotland in london will bind .
the neglected province to living commuter cities could be reduced , labour meps hours would radically and the exchange of aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce congestion on the roads .
in theory believe the three large parties in this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are necessary for the construction of a new national rail network , the inevitable planning battle and fears of environmental damage in the british high - speed of tracks could still applying the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a companies based in january , the government should present a viability study , lord adonis will deliver according to the times the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed routes card of the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
the free site the plan is the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the preferred option proposed is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead western pennines to manchester and scotland and another in the direction of north - east sheffield , leeds and newcastle - upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the travel time would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first part of the route which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over a time , to go .
the draft offer the trains , with a speed of the possibility to travel 400 km / h , which the fastest europe would the british rail network .
the first line has been planned in such a way as to 400 metres long trains with a maximum capacity of 1.100 persons can travel point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this in turn would mean that a terminus station would be necessary in london , on the could handle 20,000 travellers per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital is expected that a existing station would be extended to the high - speed network .
rail experts say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultation and planning measures mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliament elections .
but if he is the wheels in motion , that in sections of the network must be built .
trains should first of the high - speed lines on existing rail routes in the north of birmingham change , which the travel time between london and scotland would continue to lie in over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the rail revolution .

but also the 15 criminal court ordered a medical examination of the 87 -year-old liliane beds court , which will be performed jointly by three doctors .
the heir and main shareholder of l'oréal has so far refused to undergo such a study , especially not in the , presented during the investigations of the state prosecutor of nanterre conditions .
the doctors appointed on friday should produce a report before the 10 march 2010 , in which they give clear known as to whether and to what times liliane beds court can have considered in a state of weakness .
i think that it will be subject to these investigations .
i shall speak with their , said mrs beds court , me georges kiejman 's lawyer , after the negotiating .
what the lawyer of françoise beds court - meyers , me olivier metzner , it is very satisfied with the decision of the court of justice .

the court has now decided to make a judgment , after the process on the admissibility of mme beds court - meyers has taken place .
managers - revolution or the end of the strategic early enlightenment ?
if nothing changes in the governance of the large french companies , our fight for the development of economic intelligence ... in vain
for more than a decade , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumer before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by the customers in the heart of the company has the marketing - revolution the strategies of the reconquest of markets in the place ... despite the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the clients to impose regularly again !
the demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides , in france telecom psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
this demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , what is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ) " of all the parties involved ( ... ) the proactive and a future - oriented vision " ; they claims by the staff a use , the totally contradict the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the employees in denmittel point of the concerns expressed by the company equal to the customers .
the very - related use internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , stimulate this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i fear not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the entire structure with a new situation in the end after many roundabout way priority concerned , to do this , ... what it always has done .
also because the authoritarianism , a proportional to the importance of the pathology of power - its own failures increases .
and finally , because most have executives a simplistic idea of human behavior .
emerged from the major engineering schools is their mechanistic interpretation psychology .
they take by intellectuals comfort the old behaviori tables theory , the recently from the american " neurosciences ' reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of research institutes and was spread by the media .
therefore , and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to operate encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic management system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisation factors identify and measure
instead , requires a needed for the smooth functioning of the modern businesses occupational revolution the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of managing a fundamental minutes : for the wage - earners is the commitment for the company only possible if it clearly seems as a means to a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
currently only take the studies from the multi- functional analysis , this conception of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allows them to assess what it offers them to achieve their life goals .
thanks to the mobilisation of identification and of the measurement of these factors , the leadership of the companies can predict their " social " control , and pre- empt and their human resource management back to the rights centre place .
this is how you create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .
the oslo speech : the ' fair war obama praise from " law a
the american rights has , on friday , on the eve of barack obama in oslo speech welcomes and was satisfied that the nobel peace prize 2009 the concept of ' fair war ' against the enemies of the united states has defended .
the conservatives , the distribution of the prize to obama had lampooned on 9 october , this time were applauding the speech by the president , the example of the former vice - presidential candidate in the 2008 elections following sarah palin .
i liked what he said , palin declared that the face of the right - wing of the republican party in the newspaper us today and added that they sometimes even the subject of a " necessary " war memoirs have raised in their has just been published .
the war is , of course , the last , of which i think that the americans want to do it , but it is necessary .
we must stop the terrorists down there , it says .
obama , the two wars has inherited from his predecessor , george w. bush , the iraq and wars in afghanistan , on thursday in oslo has endeavoured to justify the use of violence ; a way , to explain his entscheidungvon nine days ago , 30 000 additional to send troops to afghanistan .
another opponents of obama , newt gingrich , was of the opinion , the präsdent have done a very good job in oslo ' ' .
i thought that the speech was really very good , frohlockte of former president of the house of representatives , particularly the reference to ' the existence of the evil in the world ' in obama 's words recognised .
in some parts habeich this speech and completely perceived as historic , declared gin directive , the in the radio programme was questioned about " the take away ' .
the previous members , by some as a potential candidate for the republican nomination to the 2012 presidential election will be seen , said he was pleased to have seen a ' president of the left ' , reminded of the members of the nobel committee that they were not free " and could not send a price for peace , would not exist if the use of violence ' .
to michael gerson , former recorder from george w. bush , and now editor in the washington post , obama has " a very american " speech .
in addition to the fact that he presents itself as the ' kosmopolit ' , as " he always power , " he ' as an american president has spoken , when he pointed out that " the europeans ' as live in a security bubble , which they have not created themselves and for their protection not do a lot , " gerson .
among the few , not staunch called rights of the former un ambassador john bolton , a hawk the bush - era , the speech at the site of national review online as " boring , highfalutin and inspiration happening " .
on the left of the president shows the democratic representative dennis kucinich concerned , as barack obama defended the resort to the armed forces .
we packaged the war under the guise of justice , the massacre of the innocent quite simply , justify he warns .
however , the press the moderate left remains praise on the side of the president .
the los angeles times , which is still believe that the nobel peace prize was premature awarded to obama , the speech even for a speaker described like him , known for his talent is , as ' monumental work ' .
the speech in oslo ' provides a timetable plan to the management of international decisions against the conflicts , poverty and the repression ' , so the california newspaper enthusiastic .
the new york times is of the opinion that obama " the necessary discourse proclaimed " and called his speech ' bleak and exemplary at the same time ' .

the agreement provides for a wage increase of 4 % for the lowest wages ( local and regional road transport ) and by 2.9 % for the highest wage groups ( international transport ) .
the sentence of hours for workers with the lowest wages is rising of 8,72 to eur 9,06 .
" this is not particularly much , but only to once small ' , so we starting patrice clos ( fo ) .
the activists are now not to rely on the supply depots more to block .
' but it is likely to always be some recalcitrant , which are not satisfied with the agreement , " he supplemented .
the chairman of the tlf - philippe grillot spoke of a " good agreement ' , even though it was ' difficult , these salary increases allow in the face of international competition " .
according to him , is the increase in eur 170 month for the low and of eur 100 and 120 for groups of the high wage .

the opposition of the employers ' associations can only delay the procedure .
the association fntr published a " fraudulent trading ' because the eur 100 million ' were the sector to offset a part of the carbon ' tax has already been promised .
the secretary of state for transport forced us to negotiate , as soon as possible , but not on the basis of a common analysis , but to the goose - not to mouth to feed to the approaching christmas days disgruntling , laments the unostra .
for the federation of otre threatens the agreement ' the small and medium- sized enterprises in this sector of industry in the next 12 months to dig a great tomb ' .

turkish constitutional court resolves pro- kurdish party on decision with serious consequences .
the turkish constitutional court on friday was the dissolution of the main pro- kurdish party in the country known ; a decision , to the immediately raging demonstrations in the kurdish community in the south - east of the country and in istanbul followed .
this decision threatens the work of the government to enormously difficult who are trying to extend the hand , the kurdish community , in order for 25 years of the conflict to an end .
the ' for ' a democratic society party ( dtp ) has been dissolved , because they had become a " site for activities , the for the independence of the state and its indissoluble unity are bad , " the president of the constitutional court hasim kiliç four days after the decision to the press .
according to kiliç the decision would have been taken unanimously by 11 judges , with a majority of seven votes would have been necessary to impose the dissolution . he also pointed out that 37 of the leadership of the party , including the chairman ahmet türk and the parliamentarian aysel tugluk , for the duration of five years been excluded from the political events .
the judge of the further announced the waiver of parliamentary immunity , the türk and tugluk enjoy the party , as well as the confiscation of goods .
the dtp in parliament ( now has 21 seats of 550 ) .
the party leaders expressed before the verdict to the effect that the parliamentarians parliament would rather leave than to meet such as party unemployed parliamentarians .
the decision followed a in 2007 by the prosecutor of the turkish federal court procedure initiated abdurrahman yalçinkaya . he accused the dtp , the " instructions " to follow the kurdistan workers ' party ( pkk ) , the ankara and many other countries will be regarded as terrorist organisation .
many observers believe that the dtp is the legal political showcase the pkk - rebels .
the party assured , " to have no link ' the pkk , but refuses to call this as a terrorist organisation and calls to negotiations on the government .
the verdict of the constitutional court computer intervened , the government that seeks to accommodate the kurdish community and a series of measures to strengthen the rights of the kurds to propose , to support the pkk by the kurds everything dry up and to end the conflict .
the leader of the dtp confirm that any dissolution to a resurgence of could generate tensions in south - eastern anatolia , where many demonstrations against the conditions of detention in the past few weeks , of the heads of pkk , abdullah öçalan led to clashes with the police .
since the announcement of the court of thousands of demonstrators gathered before the premises million of the dtp in the city of diyarbakir in the south - east , which has largely populated by kurds .
the order forces firing tear - gas grenades and water cannons , when the demonstrators began , molotov cocktails and throwing stones to .
hundreds of people also demonstrated in istanbul .
after the verdict , türk assumed that the decision of the court ' will continue to deepen the despair ' .
' turkey can this ( kurdish , anm. that not resolve editorial ) question on the basis of the ban a party , " he told of the press .
the government , consisting of a party , which has emerged from the islamist movement , regretted the decision also .
" we oppose on principle against the closure of the parties .
that does not solve the problems , " as energy minister taner yildiz .
' this decision is a torpedoing of the opening of democratic , which was promoted by the government , " the political market observers ahmet island .
" you can appears to be a response ' the pkk , adds it .
on thursday , the pkk known to an attack , in which three days earlier seven soldiers killed in the north of turkey . it was one of the most brutal attacks in the last months .
the snow collapse can come
a properly knackigen winter , that is what wolfgang brewing burger wants .
not because he wants to bully the citizen , says the winter head the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole of the vehicle try and master technology can learn .
at the weekend might be so far for the first time it according to meteorology .
more than 330 staff and 120 vehicles will be available in order to be able to take care of snow and ice .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
once it is in frankfurt snow cover and the sub - zero temperatures , be travelled 20 faithful to the so-called a - routes with large vehicles , brewing burger explained to us .
this includes , for example , main transport and transit roads as the new way and the hanauer country road .
but also fire access , public local passenger transport routes , pedestrianisation and routes with gap , such as the atzelberg road .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
the around 1040 kilometres , in needs in a maximum of three hours responsible with wet salt , the better , being disseminated .
therefore the fes starts three o'clock at night , " so that the sea are free , until the professional launching transport ' .
difficult will , if it was snowing . until 7.30 p.m.
then we have a problem , the winter head says , " because no one then , the distribution of vehicles is prepared to make room ' .
only then , so it is not further snowing , are feeder and developers roads , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
the final priority have sides - and in addition roads .
there will be complaints there knows brewing burger .
at five o'clock in the morning is the odds in order to the fes foot soldiers of the way , risks are mainly points and crossings cleared .
for all the cycle paths fes often could not care .
there is in frankfurt , a special services of 22 until 4.30 a.m. p.m. above all the brewing burger bridges in mind , says .
because there are to these fast glätte , is , as soon as the temperature falls below two degrees , which streuer .
this will also called by the police if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other carnivorous dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres major animal expired on two strong behind legs , had a whole skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sickle claws and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be no special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with this body characteristics , reports sterling nesbitt of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science by thursday .
the animal about 215 million years ago lived in today 's new mexico , the then in a dry area of super - continent pangäa was the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early evolution of dinosaurs , nesbitt says .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaur .
2006 , nesbitt and other paleontologist started with a excavation on the ghost in the north ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen dinosaurs in a day - bones , which is unprecedented for deposits from the day , reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
the researchers identified some of the bone quickly as new .
in the course of the archaeological they played the remains of a total of five individuals .
fund confirmed theories on dino - early history
the name ' tawa ' comes from the hopi sun god - indians .
it is an exceptional fund for sterling , nesbitt : ' dinosaurs fossils - from the day we are extremely rare , is usually only individual fragments . '
other dinosaurs - not necessarily experts share the enthusiasm .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the early history of the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , from the university of bonn .
after the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation of this is ur - dinos most controversial .
so , for example , the experts debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus committee , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ensure ' " long with vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( bird basin saurier ) , which , for example the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
after the analysis of nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
it is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties on , nesbitt says .
the skull of tawa hallae found the references to luftsäcke researchers , for example , as you also have the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is respiratory of birds more effective than the mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column apparently partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and greatest theropode with air bags , randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of huge sauropoden also later luftsäcke and lightweight construction - bones , probably already was the common brought this useful innovation vorfahre of both groups .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
therefore early separated the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , which was still a super - continent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , was not particularly closely related theropoden .
the three can not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , alan turner says in new york , by the american museum of natural history a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older way to a sister silesaurus , the group of dinosaurs heard , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin says sander today .
its opinion could get a distorted picture , because in south america simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while little is to be found in other continents .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare pages of reptiles stock line on the dominant country vertebrate animals of the earth middle ages to develop , is still puzzling .
during the day the dinosaurs their area still living with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and flugsaurier and with many other echsen .
at the end of the day the dinosaurs spread around the world from and developed many new species , while the kinship on the border of the day the jura ausstarb .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses in order to explain this change , says martin sander .
it could have given to die a mass , the dinosaurs happen to be survived , but the other reptiles not .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they could beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
150 million years later gave a meteorite impact , which is also a group of animals to flourish had already in the triassic entwickeltet and since then a shadow general fristete : the mammals .

new silicon - valley
long years it was as secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
the capital moscow selenograd , one of ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community with their 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as " russian silicon valley . "
significant research and production centres for micro - and nanoelectronics are .
already since september 2008 , representatives had selenograds contacts to frankfurt science location riedberg linked - with the uni institutes and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .
there have been several mutual visits and on wednesday now signed selenograd and riedberg in frankfurt a ' protocol on closer cooperation ' .
the vice - of moscow mayor yuri rosljak and prefect anatoly smirnov of selenograd led to the russian delegation , for frankfurt signed planning dezernent edwin black .
2010 will be representatives of the fiz and small and medium- sized enterprises in the natural scientific foschung focus for a seminar after selenograd travel .
scientific exchange
it is about a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms of fiz will be possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
vice versa want russian science firms contracts in germany acquire .
selenograd is the seat major russian research institutes and businesses .
for example , these include the moscow institute for electron technology , the big companies sitronics and rosssijskaja elektronika .
in 1958 , the community was a so-called ' socialist plan city ' has been created for the defence research .
selenograd ( translates literally ' green city ' ) received his name from the forested hill landscape , are embedded in the research facilities .
stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 , is not even set high enough .
for the supporters of the project it is purely and simply ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the deeper lay a station , more than a monströses construction project , which the city of baden - württemberg country capital for a decade will be in disarray works chaos .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
head stations with tracks , in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the end of the nineteenth century , the transport technical fossils as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed forward umzuspannen , locomotives in the back .
entering , very briefly , go - go so should ´ s .
and that is why the head should stations disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a station , for the sake of such as of passage route of the trans - european rail magistrale between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will now actually addressed , although the visions of the 1980s , no longer are compatible with reality .
itself very ambitious planners have realized that it is almost unaffordable in the hessischen and the bavarian city , the deeper implement .
however , head stations also have no longer a and exit problem , since modern turning train drivers operating locomotives and trains tax dare at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - new route after ulm section will not now addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
the railways power with , also because the risks of the individual biggest infrastructure project of the republic of the taxpayers and not the state corporation contributes .
cities still reasonably justify terms the projects .
there is new city areas , which - believes we tables illustrating the planners generated the computer - will be equipped with a great deal of green .
for the transport system rail is s21 harmful .
the gateway station and the range development are intended for the movement of persons , the we - typical 1980s - huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy must be but it first of all , therefore , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport by rail is very much more environment - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the new route because intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
much serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail projects .
good eur six billion in schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will the money to other hubs and closely in the network lack .
a total of 60 greater projects are on the list of the ministry of transport .
one of the most important is the extension of the good 180 kilometres long route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 will attend the route in the slow built .
were a matter of urgency , be reduced to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
the rhine valley route is the real bottleneck for the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the country has government in wiesbadener provincial left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessischen administrative court of justice ( vgh ) will go to the ban on night flights in revision .
the cdu / fdp coalition have asked experts to the more than 400 pages vgh judgment legally examine , economy minister said , dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh in kassel had on this next justified in writing that the country in the case of the north - west runway at frankfurt airport planned construction of the new rules to the ban on night flights .
the authorisation of 17 flights between 23 and 5 p.m. , as stipulated in the country government , is not with the legal protection of the population against noise at night offered to reconcile .
the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
the opposition criticized this postponement and to urge the representatives of the government , for a revision to dispense with the federal administrative court in leipzig .
spd torsten schäfer group chairman , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their before the election promise made to return to a ban on night flights . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is difficult , if word must be condemned , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in an allusion to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan " we believe that word ' .
minister posch rejected the accusation by schäfer - gümbel , the country government attempts , with ' right verdreherei and sleight of hand " but still to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legal , safe entscheiung stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , would be the statements of his group , on the ban on night flights never have been .
us banks figures aid back
the us big banks in crisis strip their national shackles .
the bank of america has the aid from the banks bailout funds on wednesday tarp in a total of $ 45 billion ( well paid back eur 30 billion ) at a stroke .
and also the citigroup , according to a report of the us - station cnbc plans to repay the state aid .
the institutions want to get rid of so that the restrictions , who are gone hand in hand with the adoption of the money , for example the limit in the payment of managers bonuses as well as the payment of high tariffs .
the bank of america on convertible bonds had good $ 19 billion in fresh money in investors concerned .
the rest of the sum , from the own treasury , the inter alia , she was filled by segment sales well .
bank kenneth lewis runs on wednesday evening expressly when american taxpayers : the injection of money have helped on a very difficult time .
the geldhaus had the peak of the financial crisis with the adoption of the investment bank merrill lynch verhoben .
the citigroup wants to liberation from their liabilities vis-à-vis the state also obtain money on capital market .
already on thursday the us bank could announce a around 20 billions of dollars in increasing its capital , reported cnbc , invoking circles .
a citigroup spokesman did not wanted to speak .
in june had already goldman sachs , jp morgan and morgan stanley repaid their aid .
rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board the president - in- office of the editor of santa claus brender from the office had urged , the station can present a successor .
the vote on the personalie body wanted yesterday evening .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf capital studios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the station , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - controller markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should also do not get through to the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine out of 14 body members .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
in two weeks was schächter with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed to extend for a further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages for brender from , seven voted against him . brenders dismissal was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the union majority in the management board had already signalled weeks before the election , brender not in office to confirm .
had the organised resistance against the koch editor of hessische prime minister roland .
with the argument , under brender have news broadcasts of the zdf lost ratings , he rejected a further term of the highly respected journalist chief .
there were therefore protests until shortly before the election , in which the political influence has been plaguing the zdf .
least had even 35 state rights interfered in the debate , such as chefs those deemed unconstitutional 's action .
nothing came of it .
the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , education and romanistik .
then he worked in the south - west radio and the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 frey switched on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal spoke of the journalist head ; in 1991 / 92 the correspondent in washington ; until 1998 head and moderator of the ' tomorrow magazine " ; until 2001 head the zdf - foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf - capital studios .
the greens announced on wednesday still brenders after the dismissal by the industries leaf medium magazine the journalists of the year was elected , a constitution complaint .
such as chefs adversary in the management board , the rhineland pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that staff proposals of the controller cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
an extract of party leaders from the supervisory bodies of zdf castle however also beck from .
brenders heir - apparent peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move , by he dismiss the body immediately after the brender - strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it appoints without loss of face for the post of head journalist and the management board choose , without come in the suspicion , a partisan do more to try to coax into office .
in the party arithmetic will frey imputed to the liberal left - wing anyway .
study will entrümpelt
part success for the students : after a year , the culture ministers of the countries of the education strike on thursday at last a : at a meeting of culture ministers - and university rectors ' conference , both sides agreed to the study to attempt to improve conditions in bachelor and master .
the students should be in the situation in the future , their studies also able to tackle .
in the individual agreed to reduce them to , the examination burdens are principle : will every study module only conclude with a single audit .
also to review the workload of the students will be guaranteed ' and ' a realistic and reasonable level .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit services between the universities within and outside germany simplify .
the countries committed themselves to targets for undergraduate and masters courses , common structure more flexible .
deviating countries rules in addition , it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the students protests in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
the first time , it has now been filled with a specific content .
the so-called accreditation council decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule with only a test , " it is said in a 30 - page document , the authorisation of study corridors partly to new rules .
with the ' burden significantly reduce the test , " the accreditation council declared - chairman reinhold grimm 's fairy tale , should be a stop to ' drift , which significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
also to ' studierbarkeit ' in future be ' in shaping the decisive criterion ' .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' whether ' unnecessary einengungen the students in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive margins , allow the own - initiative , and promote ' .
the rules should apply in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses .
this must all be reakkreditiert ' – five years ' which means that it takes until 2015 before all courses have been reviewed .
responsibility for are national ten accreditation agencies , under the accreditation council established by the countries .
the culture ministers have had the countries in october ' with ' urges strongly to influence the agencies , so that the material abundance of not too big and the testing regime is not too strictly .
in individual länder universities and colleges of with the country ministries have already agreed on the appropriate measures .
than have been one single country said so far rhineland - palatinate for the further development of the bologna process additional resources .
of the money is to establish the universities especially tutoren programmes and inspection and offices abroad to study guidance and strengthen .
country and spend universities want to make eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the academic law to the parliament .
after this for the conclusion of a study should be a single audit model only still needed .
shaping the study will be more flexible , also seeks to ensure the recognition of prove other universities and facilitate the access to the master .
by the end of next year everything should be reviewed courses of the country on their studierbarkeit .
government and opposition , on the study , once again on thursday , conditions had argued in the country .
in addition to praise , but it has also been criticism of the decisions .
the federal bureau of the juso higher groups called for the shaping of education policy , in future , not more ' behind closed doors ' the minister and university rectors take place .
at the latest , after the education strikes should now also the students ' have a say concerned . "
support received the future academics by the president of the university rectors ' conference ( hrk ) , margret winter umbrella : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday , at a meeting with the ministers of culture with which the hrk on a common reform paper was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( forces ) the bonn process as a whole does not go far enough : it urges a legal entitlement , every graduates with an undergraduate degree the access to a further masters course allows .
on the other hand , the countries must ensure that sufficient for the current generation of undergraduate students tomorrow masters study places with the best possible study conditions available as forces board member andreas cellar .
the countries must hire more lecturers clear .
to a freer access to the masters , but not the culture ministers .
more than a footnote to herta müller
respond in germany and is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the first line of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this in troubling language scrap the arrival of the experience of a dissidents , the freedom has won , but also lost its language area .
the 1951 born in the romanian banat werner söllner had first as a german and english - teacher in bucharest and , later , editor worked in a kinderbuch publishing , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner has been awarded with various literature prices , in 1993 he thought the legendary frankfurter poetik lectures at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is director of the mousonturm hessischen literature forum in frankfurt .
for considerable except literary stir , last tuesday during a meeting in munich , when it comes to ' german literature in romania in the mirror and distorting mirror its securitate acts ' .
confused and embarrassed söllner read out a clear statement , in which he before romania german writer colleagues , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth women dorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian secret service securitate admitted .
together with some of the present had given söllner 1989 the german language price .
the recruitment trials have gradually begun , first 1971 .
so i am , söllner closed , ' someone who has campaigned against the securitate intimidation attempts not enough . '
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time with the nobel peace prize tribute for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary dispute with the mechanisms dictatorial rule will the literature scene and in particular the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and identify the despicable of a political system , which is based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , as far bisherigem knowledge can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
in its acts of securitate have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners of literature scientists michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all at the time for him , " markel swindled out sensitive points ' .
it is a moral need him , this remark to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of a former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informer , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , be speculation and probably also in some case have known what the clear name is behind the aliases sorin , voicu and also walter lay .
unlike in the here now very procedure safe screening in the stasi acts is dealing with the legacy of the securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
a systematic enlightenment is thwarted in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the appropriate national council to review the securitate birthler authority - acts ( cnsas ) was established until 1999 , the launch of acts was rather since then however slow .
there is a law only since 2005 , governing the management of acts .
the influence that former securitate - members in romania is still very large , documented after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller an interview , in which a former head of securitate - from temesvar dismissive about the prize winner .
they have a psychosis , finally , they have only once interrogated .
the scandal of power said is quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here to express can .
certainly söllner include the case , as so often in connection with reticent to blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? whom was harmed ? the listening to the calm response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge drive rather than guilt and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

dream worlds
in wachem state some seeing pictures and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drugs binge blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
as long as it happens in their sleep , everything is ok .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must give us the wildest ideas and imagination entities out unchecked .
however , those who , in the wachsein dream experienced similar conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , applies in the modern western world most drug addiction as crazy or , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in narcotic drugs .
blame our imagination : the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes to write to paint or images novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , delusion and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
dream exponentially modified awake awareness conditions in many different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions , in the worst case madness .
even if the trigger and effect may differ , the visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drugs experiences of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückung conditions , psychoses and hallucinations but lead similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise if the balance of neural chemical lobes - all dopamin serotonin and noradrenaline , acetylcholin - off the rails and the interaction of various brain share is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
more about him has no power , the difficult
the context of delusion and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , noted 1861 a " great similarity of the mistaken one with dream conditions ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , deceit of such a " sense .
it is autumn 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comic strip figure .
his body is two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the gravity has no powers more about him that he hangs in the room ceiling .
it senses enters a .
behind him produce vicious make with blood red , distorted fratzen fletschend , teeth .
they hunting him , throw him with serious , inflammatory boots , him against the walls , it feels the pain in the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer bear them , the votes , the upbraid and offend him .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet it to a noose and brace of a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loud speaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
jumps .
the noose is disappearing .
this is a lesson to you scream the vote in trommelfell zerfetzendem choir , " at the clinic go , and let you cure ' .
today is henning t. 40 years old , it is six experienced acute psychoses , the last is back 2 years , the first almost 20 years .
it was triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizo mood - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
in the psychosis , i have seen worst fear and deepest despair he says .
its fallacy images are cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia ; at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second most common illness after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected mostly not distinguish more between domestic and foreign world , they get trapped in a state of on heated to hallucinations , sizes - relationships or persecution mania can lead to .
the vote is particularly widespread hear - vote , the orders , comment on or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
the affected can important can no longer be of trivial separated , the brain disturbing signals not cost of purging , system awareness is being inundated with impressions .
such as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper awareness classes bracket .
the reality centered perception in the psychosis is entity , says professor thomas fox , oberarzt the clinic for general psychiatry in the university klinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance to him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar dream , of the events overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a reality matching generally have is not possible , its fallacy images are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sensory and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will receive , in principle . "
the obsession thoughts and hallucinations based in reality , the verfremdung of erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries proposes , researchers are still puzzle .
in each people exception conditions can lead that he loses the reality short- lived , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
it seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but twin studies have shown that the genes are not the determinants alone .
researchers assume that with minimal affected brain damage .
we suspect that the brain maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted by a viral illness of the mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , as the disruption of the neural system is reached , is also the first is not manifestiere for many years .
environmental influences also play a role - stress or traumatic experiences can trigger for a psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
halluzinogene drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmitter system .
if our brains is overheating
is the stupidity , psychotiker suffering under their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get what , says the lübecker psychology professor erich caste .
whether contributed images are seen as a pleasant or unpleasant , is often only a question of position .
caste collects for ten years ago , reports on hallucinations and fallacy phenomena , last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations are among the typical accompanying phenomena of psychoses , but also of surprisingly many other diseases .
these include mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and skull brain traumas .
surprisingly , hallucinations under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so caste , from memory content , which normally be held back .
they arise , when areas in which sensory are processed , are blocked überaktiv or too little ; if our is lacking in brain is overheating , or also , if stimulation .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or psychosis .
however , there is also sensory deprivation , or other mental stress , love distress exception conditions .
recent studies were up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - west pomerania and visited secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there were not the pictures and the vote .
in the break it can happen that a schlaksiger young with long dark hair it addresses .
if it responds to the peers look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
you believe that the timid girls for a versponnene day träumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as they alongside them can see and hear the girls in the bank .
they can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
i am mad ? , , you sometimes wonder .
but you know that this young and the other contributed images are real and disappear again .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening
often are the fallacy images is a burden .
if they sits in the class area , it can sometimes not follow the teaching substance because of teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new peers , while for all other hearing and visible mathematical equations explained on the table .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you in their dark room on sleep waiting , and the much too rarely comes much too late , they can often not distinguish , whether you awake is or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen adversely affected or the girls with the average wounds of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
parents and friends tells you nothing of the believe they would be crazy .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
a year before , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you contact with the psychologists caste , on the internet , they know that it is not crazy .
mania is also a work of art despair
if someone is socially isolated or under beauty withdrawal , however , has it with great likely hallucinations , says caste after a while .
i suspect , then the brain is under - employed and , even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , an individual child , as a little girl had fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , when you began with 13 learned that the man that they can calls , since you thinking daddy , is not your leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same brain areas are also actively real impressions and noise process , it is affected as sarah k. difficulty distinguishing contributed images and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality , there is .
hallucinations are also images which brain lead , therefore , they have so real . "
at night dream images also sees caste as a form of hallucinatory .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their contributed pictures as unreal .
caste advises his patients , the hallucinations therefore also be a special ability value .
border state between dream and hallucinatory
in our to very awareness - centred world will imaginary unfortunately witnessing mostly pathologizing , says mr schmidt - rapier hard , the clinic of psychiatry professor in heidelberg and chief doctor and psychotherapy of florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious illness painful , but it also involves obsession with positive , creative is also a work of art despair .
schmidt - rapier hard , the so-called oneiroide experience researched , has a special form of dream exponentially modified awake awareness .
oneiroide are highly complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the erlebende for real and which he is also in retrospect cannot distinguish from the state of the awake .
the oneiroide awareness state is emerging in trauma or illness extreme situations , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself and world is threatened loss , for example by continuing complete impotence , it replaces the life - threatening imaginary world , the real situation through a own , detached from reality is , schmidt says - rapier hard .
a kind of border state between dream and hallucinatory .
since the management of a situation in the reality is not possible , a world exchange is taking place , but the real situation will be made in the imagination in mind .
an intensive form the foundation and a sense of meaning in a intolerable situation , the us human beings shape , not enables own submerged in nothing of loss of awareness .
everything is real , also later in the memory
also the züricher art historian peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul " heart change as a " bailout .
it is 49 years old , than its awareness for a heart valves operation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to immobile .
claussen a appeared in a world made itself , visited foreign times and places : it was seen as a bettlägerigen , old man , boarded a zugsanatoriums , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks kidnapped in a motorcycle whose own country , browses with his hospital bed in firn snow of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
it is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in the memory .
this internal travel for claussen , is radically different from any dream .
dream is another state , be he describes .
quite the contrary , i am the memories travel from mental still after years and in secondary details about clear .
clearer and more intensive even than really what happened .
the intensity of this erlebens goes beyond the horizon of our other life secular experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - rapier hard .
ultimately oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drugs binge , show how fragile our internally copies of external reality also ensure , are .
any change of the state of awareness of , sums the psychologist caste , " can lead to an verformung of , what we call reality . "
an experience which , may even be enriching .
the snow collapse can come

mazda would like to prove that athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the model mazda3 the automatic stop christened and anfahr system of motors , on the behalf i - stop , introduced , a device , but at the moment only for the 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands by your good marks the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenv received , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front seat we can see that the front seats , a excellent ergonomics and offer good cohesion .
the game of lenkrads is also excellent .
in further view of the unity , which consists of the instruments table and the armaturenbrett , we can see that mazda with a variety of knöpfen and switchgear in the spectacular colors red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards futuristic home design , .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .

conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i dare its class - stop is one of the best compact .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres back in the year , the , too , i , the only with a buy - stop version 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps is available .
the only be negative in this model is but a high price , the between 21.770 euro for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the test wariness model sportive is .

a first with much glamour
the red tepppich the sensuality for sweeping l. others penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
in the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy , more than ever . ( photographs : gtre online ) .
our elegantly ' pe ' , as always , opted for ' a dark lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is limited äuβerst , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without a possibility , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has enjoyed his five minutes fame , when it the magazine time chose to one of the products of the year .
it on the straβe to see , is unlikely , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones costs very little peek and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half of the price of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies saw the successful , there has two new products on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a life free service for data , unlike the peek , in which you pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same limits , as his american counterpart , but has a surprise one .
the price of the telephone , approximately eur 12 monthly maintenance roaming included in the month , for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , already know what it means , to forego all the data must , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as one the country has cross , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or with a link opportunity fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific offer contracts and prices for stays abroad , but in my experience , needs we have been a doctorate in physics and a good lens , in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in terms of affordable roaming tariffs for the whole of europe remained almost always ignored .
auβerhalb of their own country has always be afraid to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small machine as fonpeek ( ; it but always astonishing is that it has the name fon , although it has no wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers change slowly but surely , is and must start to take into account various possibilities , as you can use their data network .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
it is a internet - grade machine and one is paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is precisely what this is what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , life for a long time , a purchasing possibility of internet access as it peek already offered in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the phone read .
but i expect this , because i believe that it would be a appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , however , is time to see a computer with the same system .
the fetish colour of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the favourite colour of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour to him in his , undoubtedly , the second most important moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining green yellow - , the clothes in three parts - dress , jacket and coat - the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two differ about clothes but very are produced in the stoffart , from which they are .
in the official introduction it has a dress from top and in oslo one from gemusterten office .
the accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with half high paragraphs and the second time a änhliches model , but gold paints .
also the hair was different : each time the hair were on this occasion than haarkranz of high , with the previous it has set the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers , because of their maternity problems are given in the work
the discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to achieve this result is the of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no room for doubt : 75 % of working women see their career opportunities in the labour market restricted because of their maternity .
the study is open , that there is a very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of professional exercise them .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house not carry out other activities , only part-time working or no fixed treaty have , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , that is why the creation of a family and motherhood and have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number that to 4.1 years for women with an increased employment , the taken longer to have to achieve this and draw together the her and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem also has the kind of work a groβen influence on the maternity , albeit less than the calendar in terms of conception willingness " explains the csic - researcher margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , the the age of women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey is the age the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education and training .
this difference could also be found in the same age of women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they only have the main school or a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
there are still a according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with main final conclusion before their first permanent employment marry and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high school exactly the other way around and seek only a permanent employment and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of wander fuenlabrada , when a group of young people suddenly between 15 and 18 years as their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the animal sanctuary and the just six kilo is , and then thunderstruck to missed they him two fußtritte and injured - hence difficult .
our indignation it is not in words , since it is us incomprehensible where since the spass in a cheap agression against should be a small and defenceless animals , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
in addition the suffocation megalomaniacs , the weather was walking a woman who received , than they these people because of the incident wise wanted to , it feared even their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with every make that he himself is the weaker than .
the incident occurred in a normally calm city quarter at five p.m. on an ordinary tuesday .
all day long , the dog has geheult .
of course , we have situated in a close , but police service , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened led us , this incident .
we will not be able to understand what must be in the minds of these young people that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animal fun , of an animal that gives us the love , society and friendship .
we know not where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of small lorries again increasing something to
after almost two years begins the car market for small transporters finally see some light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , the in november in spain were allowed , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that you are so that the first increase at all after 22 successive months with constant decline , gemäβ the association of anfac and the car dealers by manufacturers association ganvam presented figures .
however , this good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , as the reference data used for comparison of november 2008 are , that a particularly bad verkau year with a reduction of 60 % in respect of the previous year was .
however , we must bear in mind that , apart from the rise in the last month , the overall authorisations this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales figures of the previous rules year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , but all vehicles , from which the vans market is , include : descendants of passenger cars to pick - ups , easier small vans , small vans and lorries / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , which demand the same storm clouds , because most affect even if some of the vehicles be bought by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in almost 100 % of all cases , the purchase by a third funding .
it must be authorised to these restrictions , what the result of the tap turned the lending institutions are further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the unemployment rate or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and in the difference to the cars , have the financial aid for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
however , this plan is not only for private determines people , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a small carrier up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales figures speak for themselves .
just yesterday again had ganvam reminded that it is part of the state necessary , is also a special emphasis on these small lorries , as well as , of course , for the industry vehicles ( lorries and buses ) .
the car dealers association for the year 2010 prophesied a similar year such as the just last , for which it with a sales ( of default in passenger cars and offroad vehicles ) by 19 % .
the support in brake exercises in critical situations is now duty
as at the time the anti- lock braking bremssystem ( and as it now happening with the esp stability control , the aid systems must become the brakes in cases of emergency will be a duty equipment in the european cars .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light small trucks , for the remaining vehicles a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , but to improve the protection of fuβgänger , these braking systems owing to their work , can also help to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the brake assistants is , more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical brake on the basis of the system maneuver , carried out by the drivers brake strength on the brake recognises to exercise .
however , is not until the end this pressure from this system .
according to a commissioned by the component manufacturers for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the involved in an accident drivers came before the toss together even not to enter more on the brake and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the brake assistance against attacks with maximum force in the braking system a and reduced by the brake time and thus also the brake gap , the a car in the brake process back .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , where fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented if all cars are equipped with this type of emergency braking systems .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with regard to personal damage be prevented could - as soon as the so-called intelligent emergency braking systems be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system that ( on radar or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to this , the system to increase the pressure on the brake , it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the toss already is unavoidable , together , the brake assistant the maximum pressure on the brakes , so in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .
general motors postpones the plan for opel until january
while the workforce of the opel plant at figueruelas ( zaragoza ) already by nick reilly , the new chairman of general motors ( gm ) europe , have been informed that the production of the meriva new at will start in the first week of april , probably on 8 , according to javier ortega , the american car manufacturers of pointing out that he needs more time in order to bring the rescue plan for opel to a conclusion .
nick reilly , the new chairman of gm europe , namely wants to achieve that the affected hand your assent on each individual point the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , the first workers and then the governments of the countries , in which there are works , will be presented until will postpone in early 2010 .
dementgegen will from gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
because it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
to , gm are in touch with some possible new buyers .
of this purchasers could be geely which would also like to buy up volvo , however , the skyper - the option of dutch manufacturer sports , by the group of the russian converg backing has , attracting an ever - stronger .
if it none of these buyers should come to an agreement , could sell gm some assets to the chinese baic .

on the tax of porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s but really , as a basis and managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , and he now brings only 1.275 kilos of balance .
in order to create something renunciation , you firstly on the automatic aufklappbare ceiling , which has been replaced by a tent manuellem powered screen roof , so that we alone has saved 21 kilo ; thanks to the aluminium doors used in this model such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning still time 13 ; auβerdem the tank of 64 to 54 litres of fuel has been reduced , so that , further 7 were saved kilo ; by the fitting of sporting bacquet - are still time , 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
then it was also still by the relinquishment of the audio - system 's cdr 30 once again six kilos less and through the exchange of türgriffe handles from substance which lack kilo achieved .
although it also with the gear box double clutch wheels pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional hand wheels , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to mountain routes , the really very kurvig were .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
the reduction of its weight has led but by no means that he now no longer so sure would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since long we have already no longer such a small and light model test dangers , the a but also a feeling of groβer security in the curves , even in high speed .
it is a small athlete , able to do this , its muscles in a low motion in the necessary time to make warm , until we to give him the orders lawn to curb to recover and then again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything what he says . the car power everything , what we him with our hands at the wheel indicate that , thanks to its steering , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he makes it with the precision of surgeons .
an engine sound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than boxster s ) is managed and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system , the engine noise can change , which already the panamera used for the first time .
the speeding up assets is inconceivable brutally , whether from the , or when re- speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went was already quite damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route virtually nothing to do ; and the , although we in some of these curves ice in the morning and rollsplitt took this morning .
in summary we can say that it is an ultra - easy car , a car , with whom you have an indescribable driving passport has , as it would rarely are otherwise and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

the baskonia pays a victory in israel itself
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 during his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group after the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple in the evaluation was the best of his team ( 29 ) .
the team from vitoria could the significant loss of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace team work , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great hit with 16 from the perimeter valued triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory .
the game began with the leadership of the blue red , right from the start at the top table , on the advertisements .
since the first four baskets the team from vitoria already from the perimeter came , we have already seen guess that you on the playing field with well reheated hand gelenken were .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava that opted for a way game of barac of the interior and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause is home to their advantage , to be further to develop recess ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic already began as the best of his team with 13 points highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the cluster can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , despite the clear advantage in the break the game was not yet been decided and the makkabäer vitorianer wanted the remind you once again that not everyone wins on their playing field , and thanks to the attack always ' hand of elías ' , they were back into the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , had to a few game trains with prepare soundness in order to receive air to again , and in one of them was suddenly the gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that advertisements on the table again a more reassuring distance by ( 54 - 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen have been in the last quarter bloβ and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless , resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to give .
nevertheless , and although cluster because fouls being made by the place , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended well and although the israelis nor in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a victors and tel aviv for the first time in this season .
violations that prevented stood up to standardise caja was
standardisation caja lost loudly in greece against olympia cos and the leadership in the group had to cede b of the euroliga to him , and that in a game , by the defaults on the part of the players of unicajas ( free country , lima and archibald ) , in particular , the interior game , was marked , what the greeks facilitated victory .
the team from malaga had neither fear the mood in the hall of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to your offer game in first quarter were the andalusian start to dream . a aggresive defence and three consecutive three times , two by omar cook and one by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 - in the minute of 9 .
olympia cos was by the intensity of the ereins uni caja surprised , even if the indigenous team with an internal game between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the displays table in the 13 minute 22 - 20 in their favour anzeigte , the minute in which it due to an action almost affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and why both disqualified have been .
the greek team began , warm weather at last to be , and its superiority to two game halves , whilst the departure of the englishman joel free country as a result of a violation of and the three itself caused error by carlos jiménez mark the uni caja behind lieβen .
under their players in the field of interior and the lithuanian before linas kleizas players , with its triple , they increased their advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .
a race was impossible

standardisation caja trying to get on the many failures , and the dismissal of the injured during the match scots robert archibald ignore .
despite the many disadvantages for the standardisation caja came in the 31 minute thanks to the leadership and the triple of cook and the use of lewis again some hope to 66 - 57 .

many thanks !
after the most tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets was the prevailing mood on the markets , on the markets is returned the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , because this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker choices on an inherently uncertain future .
it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , to pay the debt with the purchase of assets directly and indirectly to the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the end of assets as well as direct purchases are , and without their heterodox policy to the liquidity in question , start to spread , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already having eighth with its annual auction , which will take place next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without maintain that heterodox maβnahmen and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premiums .
the flüchtigkeiten the stock markets and the differences in the companies bonuses increase , even if they are still far removed from the paramilitary normal amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize private risks and the state debt to rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany are the privileged refuge of the investors , resulting in an increase of the differences in respect of germany leads the countries of the euro area .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
on the other hand a degree of uncertainty is detrimental not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , which had tried once again , an awareness of the responsible for the world economic policy , for what they had caused , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credit had led to the loss of jobs slowed down , when you actually a new day for the thanks action beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , there is a tribal war between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
a government , which conceals the public debt , elections , and a new government , which at the same thing .
prodi made in italy there berlusconi and sócrates in portugal after durão barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year save from the non- fulfilment of its foreign payments and thus a euro - member country is allowed , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens with the need of auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , to maintain the stability of the state money .
indeed , we are as expected before a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts , it would now within the expected lie .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences the state of debt with the same speed as the european companies bonuses increase .
but should the european reduce differences and would further increase the spanish , dannn it is a special spanish risk action .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the local early indicators a groβteil obliges the market research institutes , preferable to their scenarios for the recovery and to correct their scenario for 2011 upwards einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , the re- with a japanese scenario for the spanish economy , all the promises despite warnings no long life span .
once again , it seems quite that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share drive , although at the moment ' caution when ' is needed .
related industries
the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the subcommittee of the parliament where , in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his appearance , of the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , galán were a number of key points of the press about what he had made the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also remain in operation continue .
this should not be the case , would not on the investment needed 60 billion , but until 95 billion .
iberdrola of the opinion that there is , however , no longer should invest in an increase of energy production capacity , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and coal works of co2 capture with bodies and particularly , of course , on renewable energies .
in this case he assumes that 18,000 mw more is needed , under the pretext of course , by others ' support energy ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national coal consumption to create what , exactly the opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion ' , long term , we clearly in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investment , even if these are long term , should make , since it will need some time and a stable remuneration framework must be created , in order to tackle them .

but it is me above , al if the gentlemen of the council is inadequate take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno is in the separate waste in the jungle league , not only because we as citizens here in the sorting container always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all , by the mülltonnen number for such waste .
you have some time in the centre tried , for example , the pet bottles in a basket of collection to dispose ?
that is the art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
accidentally found in the up to now , the only body , which i have taken is that of moravia place towards the goose .
mr onderka us his colleagues should not get angry , but for me , this is far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste separation is also in other parts not honey simple .
whole ranks my friends sorting this waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the waste tonnes .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the ceremony offered to dispose , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets i have seen no colour mülltonnen in sight .
fortunately i came in road bahnfahren to the right place .
ran the waste but almost on .
this is but is still the centre of brno , thus making the whole city is represented , not true ?
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetics the brünner socialists probably cold .
buy they prefer the city of an ice hockey league , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few tonnes of waste to buy more and to offer the sorting of further raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have sought a while on the internet .
eko after the data of society - com is brno really in wholeheartedly district south moravia worst since .
the " paroubek ' - budget has the money for pensions and health money from
after the left - wing party despite the view of the government the farmers and officials , more money , is in the budget was no money for pensions , health and building society rules more money available .
but also for the state interest rates or not to blame for the international court disputes .
caused the which have more problems , the in the second half of next year will be of the government , the financial minister eduard janota says .
than the social democrats have enforced and communists the salary increase for some groups , they expect that the government , the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the health borrows money in addition . " this is only a postponement of the problems in the future , mines , " says janota .
from the loans will always pay higher interest rates , and we must exclude eventually have to return the money .
too much to choice , where take , the state coffers are empty .
if the social services or costs for the state are operating not be cut , to increase the tax .
for all the , which left - wing party now , the teachers were more money : the fire - fighters , the farmers .
and later also for their children .
with the pensions or the health of money , the account of 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , they receive this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the state coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota the debt will increase as more and more quickly and together with this also the cost and interest rates .
the state will need the money for the compensation , then already will no longer suffice to increase the value added tax slightly or to cut the maternity money , as the government in its against deficit - package .
externalisation because of the money be in favour of certain groups of voters in next year also five billion for lack of development of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained in the competition , the cannot be more new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
received the most , which is also not free of charge .
this means late or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money creation , the spokesman of the ministry of transport , karel warns hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that solves it the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - stock dividends to , in which the state owners of the majority is , and then the money from this in the transport fund be paid out .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
fins from last year cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year will be paid from the liquidations environmental damage - the dividends , topped up the pension account and this also serves as a reserve money for the planned pensions reform .
growing with this trick moreover , following the rules of the eu , the actual budget deficit to the nieveau of 5.7 % gdp .
so that ends the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion fell the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the court disputes , even for the bausparen .
manage without this money , whether the state is not safe .
this is pure gambling .
if we lose an international court dispute , then we must which pay anyway , is janota clear .
save the money , then the minister , we must portfolio internally or in the worst case budget reserve attack the government .
one hundred million lack also for the two billion already begun ' treasury ' project , is intended to enable the on- line to monitor , for what the individual authorities spend the money .
launching the first stage in january .
should the finance ministers find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .
dominate their next smartphone will be two operating systems
count the americans for the future with a mobile phone , on the user by pressing a single button between various can switch operating systems .
plans presented the see promising .
it is , only to push a button and , for windows mobile , within a few seconds in exchange android .
imagine the american society vmware wants to precisely such a possibility , mainly focused on the development of the virtual softwares for the computer .
we allow them , on the mobile phone two users profiles at the same time to carry out .
you can switch between this , you can this in two home and work profiles separate .
both are work in parallel , indicated by the company vmware srinivas krishna murti the interview for the magazine computer world .
it was presented in november last year and a few days ago for the first time shown .
on the market will come in 2012 .
virtualization the smart phones is not the fiction .
vmware led the journalists already the smart phone test model with two operating systems successfully .
one was a modified nokia n800 with a ram - storage of 128 mb , on the parallel systems mentioned at the same time the windows mobile and android were .
the development of the new technology for mobile phones is authorised in full .
now the company working vmware together with the european and american operators in the smartphonen - virtualisirung and come to the subscribers should the equipment within of the year 2012 .
snow lack plaguing hotel owners on the mountains
scneelose pisten make sorgenn not only the giant mountains - residents .
the lack of snow discourages people also of the appointment of the ski stay in hotels and pensions .
therefore we can in giant mountains still free rooms for all winter deadlines incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
visited our sides are often .
by the people go offers , note the prices , but they have now fear , binding to cultivate .
and if you ask us to call it immediately , whether our opinion after the christmas this year on snow or ' on matsch ' will be that the operators in the information portal spindl.info , martin jan dura .
who the new year 's eve - residence in the spindel mill exactly to his ideas , should not more with the appointment hesitate .
preferred who the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to wait a few days for .
owners now offer the spindel mill hotel for the silvestertag largely only weeks stays .
i think , that they still a long time , will endeavour to sell this , but then they too must give , and on shorter times .
and then the free room will quickly dwindle , jan dura estimated .
free beds in all winter dates always provides always also the travel office ing tours in vrchlabi .
now we are most interested in the christmas week , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the jobs still freely .
therefore we have already prepared some cheaper christmas stays for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ing tours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant mountains the vrchlabi travel office can also offer here , but there is less free jobs .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the rest of the winter deadlines be sold on average .
stays in this year is the interest for the winter also negatively affected by the fact that in giant mountains is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
nobody wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the pisten within a week verschneit be , will also be the christmas compromising , believes schiefert .
reversed and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .
on silvestertag and christmas we only have a few free rooms .
there are great interest in the polish holidays in the janua , and in february , the rules will also go well , informed the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
to 80 % for the new year 's eve stays is also the hotel omnia the central parking in janske lazne occupied .
christmas is to be against it in the most recent hotel in janske still half the beds free lazne .
pleasant struck us in the january this year , for the we are currently occupied already around 60 % .
now is a bit weaker the february , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant mountains , the director of the hotels omnia , erik sporysch .
waiting for a greater snow mess the giant mountains hotel owners now .
cool down on thursday it should be and if there is rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but then again a warming is supposed to come , informed jiri jakubsky from the location of the office in czech weather of the hradec kralove .
united states : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost funny , with what pupils strebsamkeit barack obama , the president with his reputation of the brightest , the strategy of his predecessor in the issue of afghanistan , repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its eagerly awaited afghanistan - doctrine ausschwitzte , it is that he showed this on the copying paper from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that he in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of his own declaration : ' new way forward ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago the bush idea - fresh troops quotas in the troubled by the civil war iraq to send in their conclusions , as the ' irresponsible and karastrophische criticised decision ' .
showed , however , that the following months of the recommendations of military outgoing bush strategy was the only possible and , in this respect , very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation this has not improved , because he has his successor objectively behind a much dankbarere starting situation , when it was to be expected .
barack obama in afghanistan hopes , that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , especially the upper stanley mccristal - general , the operation commander of the afghanistan - even despite the subordination habits the vacillating protect in the white house hard criticised .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is to have a better idea and so he has the general wenistens 10,000 soldiers cheated .
pressed from europe he has the promise of another 5,000 , even if he himself at least with 10 000 , originally expected .
highly problematic to be the whole strategy of obama is projects , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan already in 18 months , and to conclude this process within three years . the whole obama - doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as the measure halved in iraq will bring .
also despite the brother of recent years , is the iraq war - society relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the counter indication - on no one can be kept and there will be no agreements rely .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces , which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up formally correct , remain only sham construction , which will excel towards the patriarchal tribal relations further .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to the confusion of the conditions , the complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a viable ' state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama - strategy surprised by his voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , the in the war cries on the ' early return ' has broken out , are a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which will not impress of facts .
from the political view is the date for the withdrawal of troops mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as the american defeat , receive the indirect confession .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans , to participate in the battles in afghanistan , is running out .
europe politicians can and want to also not explain to their voters , the way in which the security germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush , mountain connected .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of the events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions on the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this question must be answered in the period , in the america after obama withdrawal from afghanistan is the winner .
any solution but will also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only consolation plaster for barack obama is the fact that three years until the presidential election remain , and therefore remains enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove total default would .

received the senior leaders of the american bank goldman sachs in this year no more premiums bonuses in cash .
the company has announced , the response to the sharp criticism of their wage practices .
a group of 30 top managers is rather than of the money stock , which we can sell but only in five years .
furthermore , the stock can be deprived of the managers in the case , if they act excessively risky .
goldman sachs is so in accordance with the agency reuters , the premium bonuses at the top of the efforts of the wall street to link with long- term performance .
i believe that the wall street on further direction is aware , in which it has to go , the former bankers the jpmorgan , douglas elliott , of society .
the problem is in the details , it added .
goldman sachs , to the target of criticism , after you for the first three quarters almost $ 17 billion this year had set aside for premiums bonuses .
the overall level of premiums bonuses in the course of this jahra will , after the agency reuters probably despite , too , the measure reported today exceed $ 20 billion .
the high premiums bonuses in the banking sector are with the beginning of the financial crisis in a series of länders become the burning political issue .
britain reported on wednesday that it intends to exceed the bankers ' bonuses , the 25,000 pound unique , with a tax of 50 % to burden .
similar steps is also preparing france .

assumes the role of another importance of full damon alike .
play i i told him : " if you will , i must they meeting .
the seventy - two years of actors , the price for its role in the field of eastwood - drama from the box ' had received million dollars baby ' , was already the leader of the movement on the abolition of slavery , from the end has become the slave owners , a fictitious us president , and also god in ' evan omnipotent ' , but rarely someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people like mandela .
was the former südafrikanische state mann for his active in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was in 1990 to released undfür four years he was president of the country .
in 1993 it was the nobel peace prize .

light secret on norway dissolved : the russians have tested a missile
via norway was a special light effect of unknown origin to observe .
ministry of the russian defence has admitted that not only yesterday an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested the norwegian border .
but the launch was not successful and again the rocket described as ' bulava ' type , the originally should be the pride of the russian army , and the prime minister is slowly to the nightmare of the russian generals , vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the missile test has had no positive effect on the success of the test flights .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
we have in the russian newspapers writes about ' bulava ' than a rocket ' that not flying ' .
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
exploded probably the engine in the third stage missiles .
launched ' this time bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows for the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious light on north caused by an unspecified fliegendes object because in fact the damaged ' bulava ' was .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
has this time the generals challenged not clearly and claims that we can talk of a failure .
were not from the first two stages of the missile and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases have been at the same time the engines in the first stage damaged .
even if not a test start without mistake , is the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of three ten for unsuccessful .
almost 50 % of the success that is why the generals met with optimism and it will continue to claimed that the ' bulava ' again fly without problems , and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads with a total weight of max . will bear 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance that is also in 's tempered 's hiv viruses
testing the team of czech and the german scientists , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv viruses in the body .
the main advantage of improved substance is that it is also in the viruses who already are resistant to medicines .
outweigh this fact against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus - does not so much variants , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
but the patients the compilation of medicines can extend the life and the increase in the hiv viruses in the body prevent .
their income will but accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction has also the development sg . resistant viruses to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the experts from three institutions of the academy of sciences cr , by the vscht ( chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane effect on the protein substance , the for proliferation of the hiv viruses responsible is .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links the virus reproduction block on all other than medicines used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new 's improved 's links , on the basis of the knowledge of molecular mechanism their fixing on the viruses - protein substance were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , which from bor - , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms and by a metal - nuclear , in this case cobalt , are linked .
pet tückisches and lasting virus
protease hiv is protein substance of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would no tyres infection viruses particles .
if we switch off the hiv protease , we involve the increase in the body of the virus of the patients from , the scientists in the press , the report by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry of the academy of sciences cr was issued .
newspaper in the work in the science journal of medicinal chemistry was published , the scientists whole ranks of the describe links in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked by a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
weaker something , but reliable

dispute because budget . ods on fishing , the does
the chairman of the ods , mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime by jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the expression of the ods the prime minister called as " strong worry " .
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
ods the vice - chairman , petr necas , said that the concept of the officials cabinet with the support of the ods and cssd , green party obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends to rely in parliament to the minority , if it is the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parliament left .
the approach of the ods and the social democrats , to the issue of the public deficits is diametrically differently , necas has pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with left - wing party - amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
parliament has the money for state officials salaries , for the maintenance of social services and increased for direct payments to farmers .
has the government keeping to the proposals of the social democracy that they increase conceals the budget deficit .
czech republic should with a lagging behind by 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is the wish of the government , because also the amended budget is only a less bad variant of the budget provisional . frase emergency clear
disappointment and futility
of the finance ministers , edvard janota , has spoken on his disappointment and a sense of futility led , while prime jan fischer has judged that the government , the current situation .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation for the case , that the amendment proposals were adopted , the situation would look different .
in accordance with the czech television has janota after the rules for monday government registered with the prime .
he has indicated that he be another remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
extent to which fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so that have in accordance with necas the nominanten social democracy , ( cssd ) , the amendments in the budget enforced , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue deficit - enhancing laws , for example concerning the money , the health and pension , or the services law changed .
topolanek : the wrong by ods nominated minister not
it is a matter of the prime minister fishermen and the whole government .
the ministers have not made mistakes , nominated by the ods has topolanek highlighted in the text news from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against to abandon the deficit level of public finances , ' it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then he supposedly with the support and tolerance of the citizens democrats not can count .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i will deal so that , of the said citizens democrats nominated defence minister martin bartak the journalists in parliament .
prime fishermen afternoon the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
necas at the same time , stressed that the ods probably on wednesday in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime the members of the citizens democrats would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphaned children , we are not small children , so he responded then to the question of whether the ods in the political negotiating on the budget by its absence of the party chairman in the parliament and in the czech republic has not been pushed back .
i have not noticed that my vote would lack .
renounced the mandate as i already , i knew that it in next few months of the parliament and , above all , to bolshevism destruction everything would be positive , responded topolanek itself .

1600 paid the parents kroner and more for a dose .
needed for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses .
as a whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the quantities 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
save you but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has vaccination of children for all farmland spent around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota - package .
ear cause pneumokokken resources pneumonia , but also serious infections including brain skin inflammations and blood poisoning .

the experts on the international conference , was involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .

in this moment we consider the not at all , be vlastimil spokesman said sesen .
the voluntary vaccination has their disadvantages , claim the doctors .
doctors , the chairman of the specialist society of practical children hana cabrnochova , is that a voluntary vaccination has its drawbacks .

vaccination against pneumokokken is path - breaking it is also that this as a first set vaccination will be paid for by the health insurance and not by the state .
the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors must buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical children doctors , the concerns the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original plans should be the vaccines bought by the insurance and the doctors this then to receive the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
some members have feared , however , that the insurance so ' the money from the health insurance could lead ' .
buy the doctors the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance you pay for them .
after the estimates , the individual practical will need to invest doctors per month sek 40 000 , which is a significant sum .
this will not be easy , says cabrnochova .

they have not all arguments on their side .
conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
questioned the thinkers and activists , the bowen , with their salafi counterparts are usually divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia is – the nowadays a small but influential presence under europe muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , a convention requires a give and take on both sides .
he queries to what extent french political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
he suggests , that possibly a rougher treatment as the catholics , protestants muslims and jews know , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
he recognises a " tightening the screws of values " rather than a growing pragmatism .
islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this paper , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .

examination data show persistent racial gap
performance were welcome last week the certificates to mathematics good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
although the district washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the maximum services produce , the certificates show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national evaluation of the educational progress ( including national assessment of educational programme - naep ) is , is the persistent performance divide between african - american and white pupils , both at local , and national level .
point of the average number of white viertklässler from washington d.c. rose in the last two years of 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american counterparts , but only three points rose from 209 to 212 .
between 2007 and 2009 , in reality , the service gap rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american achtklässler remained in the basically the same , he fell by a statistically significant point from 245 to 244 .
the average number of point white pupils was not included in the test data was not big enough , because the spot scope .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
separated the gap , the white and black viertklässler 2003 has been covered , as the first naep in this district , fraud 60 scale points ( 262 to 202 ) .
and even though the point number , have achieved the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
some education supporters of the southern district last week expressed their concern that the results of school chancellor michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , the largest part of white pupils , who are already strong children , were driven forward .
this suggests , that we the overall judgment by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is problematic and difficult , jeff smith said , a member of the board of the dc voice , a nonprofit group for the equal education in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , said the democratic washington city council member , kwame r. brown , the daughter of the fourth in a class of the eaton primary school has .
brown , a frequent critics of the management style of rhee figures , said , the message of the assessment point is that the funds schools of the city urgently need attention .
always of course , we would like to see the positive signs , i respect that .
what frightens me , however , is that we not spend approximately the time and energy , using the funds we for our school should .
rhee said , the district must continue , to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the performance weak pupils .
in this autumn , for example , some will teachers , trained in a new read curriculum , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary school and resources aimed at school , what basic skills of reading not at the start of their school have mastered career and the significantly behind their peers class comrades .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , from nursery school up to the sixth class games and real - life experience in the emphasis , under the former senior school inspector clifford janey according to washington and this curriculum will be some of the naep - progress , the last week have been reported , attributed .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , are under the central level , rhee said .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the overall performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and the resources available for the performance of weak schools can , the emergency little are , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education at the university of california at berkeley , results of the urban audit investigated .
is the conventional cure , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work to this important item .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban school inspectors that they tried to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we build a great schools system .
we must strengthen our schools in the city areas , so that all families , irrespective of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public education can receive .
janey , is the now school inspector in newark , said in an interview this week that one of the most important elements to the closure of the current gap is , the traditional public school year , in washington at the moment of 180 days is , to extend , in order to compete with the charter schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 next , in order to have the power to change , janey said , with its teachers trade union last year to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
higher training for more people than future prospect
achieved the coach the gettysburg college , with a resounding pipe .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment the sight of the white pillars , the brick fronts and of the ' emerald greens lawn . '
hardly gracielas parents have the high school in el salvador completed .
until recently had also graciela , the in silvermines spring has been recovered and now live in river allendale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler of the group , the gettysburg explore , where the teaching per year 38.690 costs $ , was more reverence full visitor , than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for natural sciences enter the building .
wow , really ? " " they said food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 that have visited on their three - day tour of the child and now they have the intended message fully included : the question is not whether to 's college .
the question is , where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school not end or as a teenager pregnant are on the other hand , there are , but also hundreds of thousands , what the college , which is necessary to obtain training , in the middle class levels .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation ' of the college hispanics americans – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , mostly from mexico came , or in central america , in the us without the high school to have concluded .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , the play a huge role in the work forces of the country will show , the way forward .
assess , the strong children , those who say that this very often have a natural affinity for school and a driving inherent in them to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but advice programmes also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help , to come in college , especially if these efforts on a longer time continue .
if we regarded income weak children whose parents have not the experience and skills , to help them in the search for a way through the system , then a single measure to any time will not solve the problem , said patricia gándara researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanic american students examined .
we must consider , for these children a supporting network of pre- school up by the high school to make available .
tour the federal programme , the gracielas college had financed , is a useful example .
it is known as implement up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch college - preparation programmes , the start , if incomes weak pupils in the middle school are and , until you have completed the high school continue .
in accordance with the us department for education , the programme has helped more than 10 million pupils since 1999 , 60 % of which more than in college are gone .

a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propaganda posters , considered that the lecture you , that " mother earth is too tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer suddenly , began to change the course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their response immediately and finally was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
said is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , a staff head with a 8 - months old son .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen individual children , the affectionately be called ' small emperor ' , has produced , is in the country a population crisis .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 , at the time fallen entered into force , this policy , the un
department for population issues , while the number of the population group of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance with educated population , is in rich coastal cities like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child per couple has .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai city demographic and family planning commission has said that couples in the procreation age babies must get , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population shares and to alleviate the labour shortage of the future . "
shanghai will soon ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrial countries , such as japan and sweden , be said , ' you .
a gradual détente
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , the of the ruling communist party until today was introduced .
couples , the breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual salary in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese state representatives have attributed to this policy is that the critical demands of the natural country resources could be avoided , while human rights representative abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have some officials pregnant women , who already has a child were forced to abortion .
many couples had also implement gender selective abortion , causing a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past few years have government representatives for population gradually their attitude to the a - child policy weakened .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife individual children have been -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the university for population research institute beijing said that government representatives recently even discussed more radical changes have , for example , couples to allow two children to , is where a partner individual child .
shanghai was in july to the first chinese city , the has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more birth .
posters , the family belehrten , only to have a child , have been replaced almost overnight of directives , which describe in detail , who for a second child question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
has the city administration urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples visit at home and information sheets under the doors to blame .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice for the available to , the more than have a child .
the response was not encouraging said , family planning representatives .
disappointing response
although from a rural town in the foreign areas officials from shanghai said , that a recovery in the amendments is of couples to see , the after the launch of the campaign want a second child , the urban districts against report no change .
in the community huinan with a population of 115 000 are still per month as an example only four to five requests a .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- slightly higher than 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the family planning committee of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give her first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and its mrs , liu juan juan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , as many chinese , only a minor health and life insurance of government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy mistakenly as a question of human rights , yang , a civil engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , leader of the staff , said , you would just like to a child , because it was also an individual child ' . we were the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to care for others and also not really want this . '
chen zijian , a 42 -year-old , a translation companies , the said it plain .
for parents from the smes with double career , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , it is about to be successful , and for this we must be selfish .
the the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that grew to their parents during the early days of the chinese capitalism experiment fight to see and they want to no if such a lives for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , is huge requirements to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the area question -- " we must rebuild its housing ' -- and the planning of life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have a place for the best nursery schools have life course . '
most of his friends are prepared , to make this a time , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group devises plan to reduce emissions
the promoted by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again a priority , for the next 40 years of recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , and the industrial nations in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could deliver , both the remaining obstacles manufacturers , as has also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiated , the time , because next week than 100 leaders from all over the world will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a specially was formulated , is silent on the quantity of money from the rich countries to the poor , countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
he also offers a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging countries can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
given the process will be a great flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representatives of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , of the six page document has drafted , has summed up a negotiating text 180 pages in order to make the in the centre of what the representative of the leading climate protection of the un , ivo de boer , has described as ' the great whole " .
it shows the fundamental plans for a possible agreement , in which the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 % by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce their emissions , while major developing countries would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
moreover , the european community has the talks on friday a given to boost by your assurance on the next three years to provide $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the master of the floods and droughts to avoiding deforestation .
of the friday , nevertheless , the same verbal fire works the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american climate has special envoy todd stern began wordings rejected , the binding greenhouse gas emissions cuts to industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions for greater demand emerging countries , if this not be funded by the industry nations .
announced that this train the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is not even two years ago .
sign the united states will not be agreement , without that greater stern , emerging countries stand up and take measures , so the also lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , to ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern its opinion was a time after the statement by the chinese vice - minister of foreign affairs he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american climate negotiators either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would help china not financially to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the world 's major powers is at stake , have , both within the industrial nations , as also between the industrial nations and the fault lines emerging countries opened up .
the current fight relates also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , and china and the united states , which , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries claim that the two dozen influence richest countries would ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of greenhouse gas emissions , because even countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high greenhouse gas levy to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic domination , so of ulate , also as a regional climate change advisers for conservation internationally in mexico and central america is active .
some of the countries that are most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best case will lead to a political agreement .
has the alliance of small island states with 43 members early on friday morning a 24 - page draft treaty presented .
artur until - butcher , the leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , said that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " in part , because they are now united and measures of the emerging countries , such as china , india , and demand .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
high - level representatives , as the indian environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen their aircraft and around by the corridors of bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
13,000 people -- the pure extent of the assembly , daily in congress centre and from activists , gitarre match organise night shows , in which they laugh is on the countries , and sell , and betrayed their view , the draft treaty will be passed on hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
building the intensity just on that almost all the important ministers are here , and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president said for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .

britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the monday feeling new
monday morning at 5 o'clock 13 will be a pipe penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a train departure , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first high - speed commuter train in the country is in its lightning journey of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes on board of the first javelin - commuter services from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains will ankoppeln and the large urban areas and the midlands , of the north of scotland in london will bind .
the neglected province to living commuter cities could be reduced , labour meps hours would radically and the exchange of aircraft and car to the rail would reduce national emissions of carbon and the congestion on the streets .
believe the three large parties in theory this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are necessary for the construction of a new national rail network , the inevitable planning battle and fears of environmental damage in the british high - speed of tracks could still applying the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a companies based in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis according to the times deliver the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed routes card of the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
preferred option proposed is a y - shaped the routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead western pennines to manchester and scotland and another in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle - upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the travel time would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first part of the route which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over a time , to go .
the draft offer the trains , with a speed of the possibility to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network the fastest europe would .
the first line has been so planned that 400 metres long trains with a maximum capacity of 1.100 people can travel point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
again , this would mean that in london a terminus station would be necessary , on the 20,000 travellers per hour - could be .
given the spatial restrictions in the capital is expected that a existing station would be extended to the high - speed network .
rail experts say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultation and planning measures mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliament elections .
but if he is the wheels in motion , that in sections of the network must be built .
trains should first of the high - speed lines on existing rail routes in the north of birmingham change , which the travel time between london and scotland would continue to lie in over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be sure , a beacon for the rail revolution .

but also the 15 criminal court ordered a medical examination of 87 - -year-old liliane beds court , which will be performed jointly by three doctors .
the heir and main shareholder of l'oréal has so far refused to undergo such a study , especially not in the , during the investigation of the state prosecutor of nanterre presented conditions .
appointed the on friday doctors should produce a report before the 10 march 2010 , in which they give clear known as to whether and to what times liliane beds court in a state of weakness can have considered .
i think that it will be subject to these investigations .
i will talk with it , the lawyer said by mrs beds court , me georges kiejman , after the negotiating .
what the lawyer of françoise beds court - meyers , me olivier metzner is concerned , it is very satisfied with the decision of the court of justice .
this is an excellent piece of news ( ... ) . the opinion will prove that he ( banier ) has this old lady manipulated , the must be protected , confirmed it .

managers - revolution or the end of the strategic early information ?
if nothing changes in the governance of the large french companies has our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for over a decade ago , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumer before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work designed to impose .
by the customers in the heart of the company has the marketing - revolution the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place ... despite the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the clients to impose regularly again !
demobilisation of the staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , which , in particular , the employees affected .
these demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , what is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ) ' of all the parties involved ( ... ) a pro- active approach ' ; it claims and a future - oriented view of the staff a use , the totally contradict the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the staff in denmittel point of the concerns of the company equal to the customers .
use the very - related internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , this revolution in regard to the management - practice suggest ?
unfortunately , i fear not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the entire structure with a new situation in the end after many roundabout way priority concerned , to do this , ... what it always has done .
also because the authoritarianism , a proportional to the importance of the pathology of power - its own failure increases .
and finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large engineering schools is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
they take by intellectuals comfort the old behaviori tables theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience ' reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of scientific and research institutes and has been spread by the media .
thus and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the leadership forces in a position to a mechanistic management system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
measure the mobilisation factors identify and
instead , requires a for the smooth functioning of the modern business necessary occupational revolution the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of management a fundamental minutes : for the wage - earners is the commitment for the company only possible if it clearly seems as a means to a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
moment , take only the studies from the multi- functional analysis , this conception of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they set their businesses at the basis of a doxa , the judge you by their perceived picture of the company allowed to assess what it offers them to achieve their life goals .
thanks to the mobilisation of identification and of the measurement of these factors , the leadership of the companies can predict their " social " control , and pre- empt and their human resource management back to the rights centre place .
so they create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

to michael gerson , former recorder from george w. bush , and now editor in the washington post , obama has " a very american " speech .
in addition , that he presents itself as the ' kosmopolit ' , such as ' he always power , " he has spoken ' as an american president ' , as he pointed out that the europeans ' as in a security bubble , the they have not created themselves and for their protection not do a lot , " gerson .
among the few , not staunch called rights of the former un ambassador john bolton , a hawk the bush - era , the speech at the website of the national review online as " boring , highfalutin and inspiration happening " .
on the left of the president shows the democratic representatives dennis kucinich concerned , as barack obama defended the resort to the armed forces .
packaged we the war under the guise of justice , the massacre of the innocent quite simply , justify he warns .

the los angeles times , which is still believe that the nobel peace prize was premature awarded to obama , called the address itself for a speaker like him , known for his talent is , as ' monumental work ' .
the speech in oslo ' provides a timetable plan to the management of international decisions against the conflicts and the poverty and the repression ' , so the california newspaper enthusiastic .
the new york times is of the opinion that obama " the necessary discourse proclaimed " and called his speech ' bleak and exemplary at the same time ' .

not because he would like to bully the citizen , says the winter head the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole of the vehicle try and master technology can learn .
at the weekend might be so far for the first time it according to meteorology .
330 staff and more than 120 vehicles stand ready , in order to deal with snow and ice .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
snow as soon as it board in frankfurt and the sub - zero temperatures , be travelled 20 faithful to the so-called a - routes with large vehicles , explained brewing burger .
this includes , for example , main transport and transit roads as the new way and the hanauer country road .
approaches , public local passenger transport routes , pedestrians but also fire zones and routes with gap , such as the atzelberg road .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
the around 1040 kilometres , in needs in a maximum of three hours with responsible salt , the better that wetlands be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are free , until the professional launching transport ' .
difficult it will , if it only at 7.30 snowing .
then we have a problem , the winter head says , " because no one then , the distribution of vehicles is prepared to make room ' .
only then , so it not further snowing , are feeder - and development of road , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
have the final priority sides - and in addition to roads .
brewing burger where it will be complaints , know .
at five o'clock in the morning is the odds in order to the fes foot soldiers of the way , risks points and crossings priority are removed .
concern to all the cycle paths fes often could not .
there is in frankfurt , a special services of 22 until 4.30 a.m. p.m. above all the brewing burger bridges in mind , says .
because there are to these fast glätte , is , as soon as the temperature falls under two degrees , the streuer .
this will also called by the police if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other carnivorous dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres major animal expired on two strong behind legs , had a whole skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sickle claws and a long tail .
lived would have the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs , with this body characteristics , reports sterling nesbitt of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science the thursday .
about 215 million years ago , the animal lived in today 's new mexico , the then in a dry area of super - continent pangäa was the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early evolution of dinosaurs , nesbitt says .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 , nesbitt and other paleontologist started with a excavation on the ghost in the north ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen dinosaurs in a day - bones , which is unprecedented for deposits from the day , reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
some of the bone identified the researchers quickly as new .
in the course of the archaeological they played the remains of a total of five individuals .
fund confirmed theories on dino - early history
the name ' tawa ' comes from the hopi sun god - indians .
nesbitt for sterling it is an exceptional fund : ' dinosaurs fossils - from the day we are extremely rare , is usually only individual fragments . '
other dinosaurs - not necessarily experts share the enthusiasm .
particularly spectacular , this fund is not , but it confirmed some theories on the early history of the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
after the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils are but incomplete , why the allocation this ur - dinos is most controversial .
so , for example , the experts debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus committee , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ensure ' " long with vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( bird basin saurier ) , which , for example the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
nesbitt and after the analysis of his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
he is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive characteristics on , nesbitt says .
on the skull of tawa hallae found the references to luftsäcke researchers , for example , as you also have the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is the breathing of birds more effective than the mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column seems partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and most savage theropode with air bags , randall irmis says .
because the line of relatives of the enormous sauropoden later also luftsäcke and lightweight construction - bones , probably already was the common brought this useful innovation vorfahre of both groups .
at least three waves of migration after north america
dinosaur in south america because the most primitive have known so far lived , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
separated therefore the three lines of development and spread of south america early on all continents from , which were still a super - continent pangäa formed a only country mass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
can the three not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says alan turner by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older way to a sister silesaurus , the group of dinosaurs heard , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin says sander today .
its opinion could a distorted picture , because in south america simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are maintained , while , on other continents to find little is .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare sides to the line of the reptiles stock dominant country vertebrate animals of the earth middle ages to develop , is still puzzling .
during the day the dinosaurs their area still living with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with many other echsen .
at the end of the day the dinosaurs spread to all the world and developed many new species , while the kinship on the border of the day to the law ausstarb .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander .
it could have given to die a mass , the dinosaurs happen to be survived , but the other reptiles not .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they could beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
150 million years later gave a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which is also already in the triassic entwickeltet had and since then a shadow general fristete : the mammals .

new silicon - valley
long years it was as secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
selenograd , one of the capital moscow ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community with their 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .
significant research and production centres for micro - and nanoelectronics are .
already since september 2008 , representatives had selenograds contacts to frankfurt science location riedberg linked - with the uni institutes and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .
there have been several mutual visits and on wednesday now signed selenograd and riedberg in frankfurt a ' protocol on closer cooperation ' .

scientific exchange
it is a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms of the fiz will be possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
conversely , want to russian science firms contracts in germany acquire .
selenograd is the seat important russian research institutes and companies .
for example , these include the moscow institute for electron technology , the big companies sitronics and rosssijskaja elektronika .
in 1958 , the community was a so-called ' socialist plan city ' has been created for the defence research .
selenograd ( literally translated ' green city ' ) received his name of the forested hill landscape , are embedded in the research facilities .
stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 is not set high enough .
for the supporters of the project it is simply and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the deeper lay a station , more than a monströses construction project , the city of baden - württemberg country capital for a decade will be in disarray building sites chaos .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
capita stations with tracks , in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the end of the nineteenth century , the transport technical fossils as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed , locomotives from behind forward umzuspannen .
entering , very briefly , to travel - so ´ s go further .
and that is why the head should stations disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a station , for the sake of such as of passage route of the trans - european rail magistrale between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will now actually addressed , although the visions of the 1980s not longer are compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that it is almost unaffordable in the hessischen and the bavarian city , the deeper implement .
capita stations do , however , also have no longer a and exit problem , since modern turning trains with driving vehicles and tax dare at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - new route after ulm section now will not addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
power with the railways , also because the risks of the individual biggest infrastructure project of the republic of the taxpayers and not the state corporation contributes .
cities terms , the projects can be reasonably justify .
there is new city areas , which - believes we tables illustrating the planners generated the computer - will be equipped with much green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
development are the gateway station and the lines intended for the movement of persons , the we - typical 1980s - huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition of the low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy must go but it first of all , therefore , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport on the rail is very much more environment - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the new route because intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
much serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail projects .
good eur six billion in schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
observation is , in the next decade will the money to other hubs and closely in the network lack .
as a whole sixty greater projects are on the list of the ministry of transport .
one of the most important is the development of the good 180 kilometres long route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 will attend the route in the slow built .
urgently necessary , would be to push to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
bottles of the rhine valley route will the neck for the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the country in the wiesbadener provincial government has left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessischen administrative court of justice ( vgh ) will go to the ban on night flights in revision .
the cdu / fdp coalition have asked experts to the more than 400 pages vgh - judgment legally to let , economy minister said , dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh in kassel had on this next justified in writing , that the country in the case of the construction of the north - west runway planned in the new rules to frankfurt airport the ban on night flights .
the authorisation of 17 flights between 23 and 5 p.m. , as it is the country government , not with the legal protection of the population against noise at night offered to reconcile .
the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this postponement and urge the representatives of the government , on a revision in the federal administrative court in leipzig to give up .
spd torsten schäfer group chairman - gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp , to their before the election promise made to return to a ban on night flights . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is difficult , if word must be condemned , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in reference to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan " we believe that word ' .
minister posch rejected the accusation by schäfer - gümbel , the country government attempts , with ' right verdreherei and sleight of hand " but still to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legal , safe entscheiung stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , are the statements of its group , on the ban on night flights never have been .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board the president - in- office of the editor of santa claus brender from the office had urged , the station can present a successor .
yesterday evening wanted to vote on the personalie the body .
favourite was as peter frey , director of the zdf - capital studios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the station , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - controller markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should also do not get through to the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine of the members of the 14 body .
the result of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
two weeks ago , was schächter with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed to extend for a further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages for brender from , seven voted against him . brenders dismissal was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
majority in the management board because the union had already signalled weeks before the election , brender not in office confirm to want to .
had the organised resistance against the editor of the hessische prime minister roland koch .
with the argument , under brender have news broadcasts of the zdf lost ratings , he rejected a further term of the highly respected journalist chief .
until shortly before the elections , it therefore protests , in which the political influence on the zdf was castigated .
least had even 35 state rights interfered in the debate , such as chefs those deemed unconstitutional 's action .
nothing came of it .
to the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , education and romanistik .
then he worked in the south - west radio and the frankfurter rundschau .
frey switched on zdf in 1983 , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal spoke of the journalist head ; in 1991 / 92 the correspondent in washington ; until 1998 head and moderator of the ' tomorrow magazine " ; until 2001 head the zdf - foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf - capital studios .
dismiss the greens , after the announced brenders , on wednesday , nor by the industries leaf medium magazine the journalists of the year was elected , a constitution complaint .
koch 's adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that staff proposals of the controller not can be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
an extract of party leaders from the supervisory bodies of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir - apparent peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move , by he dismiss the body immediately after the brender - strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of head journalist nominate as also the management board choose , without come in the suspicion , a partisans do more to try to coax into office .
arithmetic will in the party frey already imputed to the liberal left - wing .
study will entrümpelt
part success for the students : after a year , the culture ministers of the countries of the education strike on thursday at last a : at a meeting of culture ministers - and university rectors ' conference , both sides agreed to the study to want to improve conditions in bachelor and master .
the students should be in the situation in the future , their studies also able to deal with .
in the individual agreed to reduce it to , the examination burdens are principle : will every study module only conclude with a single audit .
also to review the workload of the students will be guaranteed ' and ' a realistic and reasonable level .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit services between the universities within and outside germany simplify .
the countries committed themselves to targets for undergraduate and masters courses , common structure more flexible .
deviating countries rules in addition , it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the students protests in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
council decided the so-called accreditation , drastically to reduce the number of audits in part : ' every module closing in the rule with only a test , " it is said in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation of courses of study partly to new rules .
burden with the ' significant reduction of the test , " the accreditation council declared - chairman reinhold grimm 's fairy tale , should be a stop to ' failure of development , the the studierbarkeit significantly disrupted . '
also to ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' whether ' unnecessary einengungen the students in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , ' would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
should apply the rules in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are national ten accreditation agencies , under the accreditation council established by the countries .
the culture ministers have had the countries in october ' with emphasis ' called on to influence the agencies , so that the material abundance of not too big and the testing regime is not to strictly .
in individual federal countries have universities and colleges of with the country ministries already agreed on the appropriate measures .
than have been one single country said so far rhineland - palatinate for the further development of the bologna process additional resources .
of the money is to establish the universities especially tutoren programmes and study advice as well as offices strengthen review and abroad .
country and spend universities want to make eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the higher law to parliament .
after this for the conclusion of a study should be a single audit model only still needed .
shaping the study will be more flexible , also seeks to ensure the recognition of prove to other universities and facilitate the access to the master .
by the end of next year everything should be reviewed courses of the country on their studierbarkeit .
government and opposition , on thursday had once again on the study conditions in the country argued .
alongside praise , but it also criticise the decisions .
the federal bureau of the juso - higher groups called for the shaping of education policy , in future , not more ' behind closed doors ' the minister and university rectors take place .
at the latest , after the education strikes should now also the students ' affected have a say ' .
received support the future academics by the president of the university rectors ' conference ( hrk ) , margret winter umbrella : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday , at a meeting with the ministers of culture with which the hrk on a common reform paper was discussed .
have the education and science ( branches of the trade unions ) the bonn decisions as a whole does not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with an undergraduate degree the access to a further masters course allows .
on the other hand , the countries must ensure that sufficient for the current generation of undergraduate students tomorrow masters study jobs with best possible study conditions available , so forces board member andreas cellar .
stop the countries need to clear more lecturers .
to a freer access to the masters , but not the culture ministers .
more than a footnote to herta müller
respond in germany and from is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the first line of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in the this in troubling language scrap the arrival of experience of a dissidents addressed , the freedom of the won , but , at the same time , has lost his language area .
werner born of the 1951 in the romanian banat söllner had first as a german and english - teachers in bucharest and , later , editor worked in a kinderbuch publishing , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner has been awarded with various literature prices , in 1993 he thought the legendary frankfurter poetik lectures at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is director of the forum for hessischen literature in the mousonturm in frankfurt .
literary for considerable attention , he last tuesday during a meeting in munich , in the it " german literature in romania in the mirror and distorting mirror their securitate acts ' .
confused and embarrassed söllner read out a clear statement , in the german writer he before romania colleagues , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth women dorfer , his cooperation than in the for the romanian secret service securitate admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner 1989 the german language price received .
recruitment of trials have gradually begun , first 1971 .
so i am , söllner closed , ' someone who has campaigned against the securitate intimidation attempts not enough . '
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time with the nobel peace prize tribute for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary dispute with the mechanisms dictatorial rule will the literature scene and in particular the community of german originating from romania authors shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and identify the despicable of a political system , which is based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , so far we after bisherigem knowledge can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
acts of in its securitate have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners of literature scientists michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all at the time for him , " markel swindled out sensitive points ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpectedly , completely surprising is the commitment of a former dissident and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informer , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own acts , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , be speculation and probably also in some case have known , what is behind the clear name aliases sorin , voicu and also walter lay .
unlike in the here now very procedure safe screening in the stasi acts is dealing with the legacy of the securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
thwarted a systematic information is in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the birthler - authority appropriate national council to review the securitate - acts ( cnsas ) was established until 1999 , the launch of acts since then , however , has been rather slow .
only since 2005 , there is a law governing the management of the acts .
that the influence of former securitate - members in romania is still very large , documented after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller an interview , in which a former head of securitate - from temesvar dismissive about the prize winner .
they have a psychosis , finally , they have only once interrogated .
the scandal of power said is quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here to express can .
certainly söllner include the case , as so often in connection with reticent to blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? whom was harmed ? the measured response to listening to the söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge drive rather than guilt and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

not only with the alleged saviour , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and had game pleasure gives .
i am on the players received and have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , explained soul plumber gross the simply sounding recipe for success , the under therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .

viewers around 17,000 in the berne arena the 2.02 metres great klitschko wanted to the fight , in particular , with its left leadership hand dictate .
of the eleven centimetre smaller johnson , of the in the match the end of the klitschko - era had announced , turned away from but always the blows of the world , so that klitschko could bring his dangerous rights objective not crucial .
as a whole fact , the passive johnson too little for a challenger and sought only on the rounds .
although he provoked klitschko with words and gestures , its blows met the world champion but only rarely .
he is , after all , only the second boxer after timo hoffman in the year 2000 , the with klitschko has gone on the full distance from twelve rounds .

i am only a blow pie , and have in this fight physically was very well in the form , the rapid return in the ring klitschko justified .
but his dream remains the unification of all four important title in the family .

dream worlds
some people see in wachem state images and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only in mental health and in the drugs binge blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
as long as it happens in the sleep , everything is in order .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must give us the wildest ideas and imagination entities out unchecked .
however , those who , in the wachsein dream - like conditions experienced , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , applies in the modern western world most drug addiction as crazy or , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in narcotic drugs .
blame our imagination : the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes to write to paint or images novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , delusion and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
dream exponentially modified awake awareness conditions in the different forms can occur in the best case , we call them visions , in the worst case madness .
even if the trigger and effect distinguish may , the visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drugs experiences of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückung conditions , psychoses and hallucinations but lead similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise if the balance of neural offered substances of the brain - all the progress dopamin , serotonin and noradrenaline , acetylcholin - off the rails and the interaction of various brain share is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
more about him has no power , the difficult
the context of delusion and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , noted 1861 a " great similarity of the mistaken one with dream conditions ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , deceit of such a " sense .
it is autumn 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comic strip figure .
body is two dimensions and be quietschbunt .
more about him has no power , the difficult , it hangs in the room ceiling .
enters it senses a .
produce vicious make behind him , with blood red , distorted fratzen , teeth fletschend .
they hunting it , throw him with serious , inflammatory boots , it against the walls , it feels the pain in the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it can no longer bear it , the votes , the upbraid and offend him .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet you to a noose and brace of a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loud speaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
jumps .
solves the noose .
shouting the you should be a lesson , the vote in trommelfell zerfetzendem choir , ' go in the clinic , and let you cure ' .
henning t. is 40 years old , it has today six acute psychoses seen back , the last is 2 years , the first almost 20 years .
it was triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizo affective - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned , to live with his disease , for three years is he married .
in the psychosis , i have seen worst fear and deepest despair he says .
bore the images are cruel reality
about a % of the population ill , at least once in the life of schizophrenia in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second most common illness after the depression .
affected in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can usually not distinguish more between domestic and foreign world , they get trapped in a state of on heated to hallucinations , sizes - relationships or persecution mania can lead to .
hear is the vote - particularly widespread vote , the orders , comment on or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
can the affected important not to separate , the brain more of trivial not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated with impressions .
as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper awareness classes bracket .
centered the reality perception in the psychosis is entity , says professor thomas fox , oberarzt the clinic for general psychiatry in the university klinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance to him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar dream , of the events overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
matching is a reality you usually not possible , the contributed images are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sensory and geographical structure of reality , the received the perceived psychosis , in principle . "
idea of the obsession and hallucinations based in reality , the verfremdung of erlebens will take place in the real framework .
exactly why our brain vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
exception in each human conditions can lead that he loses the reality short- lived , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
it seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but twin studies have shown that the genes are not the determinants alone .
researchers assume that in affected minimal brain damage .
we suspect that the brain maturing of the brain in an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a virus disease of the mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , as the disruption of the neural system is reached , is also the first is not manifestiere for many years .
environmental influences also play a role - stress or traumatic experiences can trigger for a psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
halluzinogene drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmitter system .
if our brain is overheating
is the stupidity , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , to get rid of it , other give money for drugs from , in order to get what , says the lübecker psychology professor erich caste .
whether contributed images are seen as a pleasant or unpleasant , is often only a question of the position .
caste collects for ten years ago , reports on hallucinations and fallacy phenomena , in the last year he has its results in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations are among the typical accompanying phenomena of psychoses , but also of surprisingly many other diseases .
these include mental disorders , such as borderline or depression often also , diseases such as migraines , too , epilepsy , multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and skull brain traumas .
surprisingly , hallucinations under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so caste , from memory content , which normally be held back .
areas they arise , if , in which will be processed sensory , überaktiv are blocked or too little ; if our is lacking in brain is overheating , or also , if stimulation .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or psychosis .
barrenness , but also withdrawal , stress , love distress or other mental exception conditions .
recent studies were up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - west pomerania and visited secondary school there .
a very normal girls , actually .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
in the break it can happen that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair it addresses .
if it responds to the peers look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
you believe that the timid girls for a versponnene day träumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
awake , you can see and hear it is these young , just as they alongside them can see and hear the girls in the bank .
they can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
am i crazy ? , , you sometimes wonder .
but you know that this young and the other contributed images is not are real and disappear again .
night , the phenomena are often frightening
often are the fallacy images also a burden .
if you in the area of the class , it can the teaching substance is sometimes not consequences , because of teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new peers , while for all other hearing - and visible on the table mathematical equations explained .
night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you in their dark room on sleep waiting , and the much too rarely comes much too late , they can often not distinguish , whether you awake is or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen adversely affected or the girls with the average wounds of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
tells you nothing that the parents and friends believe they would be crazy .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has in the last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
before a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you on the internet contact with the psychologists caste has included , they know that it is not crazy .
mania is also a work of art despair
if someone is socially isolated or under stimulus withdrawal suffers , it has with great likely hallucinations , says caste after a while .
i suspect , then the brain is under - employed and , even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , an individual child , as a little girl had fear of other children , often played they alone .
began their hallucinations , as you with 13 learned that the man that they can calls , since you thinking daddy , is not your leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same brain areas are active , the real impressions and noise process , it is also affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , images and reality . ' every ' , ' says caste , will take place in the brain , the reality , there is .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , therefore , they have so real . "
nighttime dream images also sees caste as a form of hallucinatory .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
unlike schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their contributed pictures as unreal .
caste advises his patients , therefore , that the hallucinations also as a special value ability .
border state between dream and hallucinatory
centred on to very awareness in our world will imaginary see , unfortunately , most pathologizing says michael schmidt - rapier hard , the clinic of psychiatry professor in heidelberg and chief doctor and psychotherapy of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , suffering full disease , but it also involves positive , creative - mania is also a work of art despair .
schmidt - rapier hard , the so-called oneiroide experience researched , has a special form of the dream of modified awake awareness .
oneiroide are highly complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the erlebende for real and which he is also in retrospect cannot distinguish from the state of the awake .
the oneiroide awareness state created in trauma or illness extreme situations , for example in polyradikulitis - see patients , the in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself - and world is threatened loss , for example by continuing total movement inability , it replaces the life - threatening imaginary world , the real situation through a own , detached from reality is , schmidt says - rapier hard .
a kind of border state between dream and hallucinatory .
since the management of a situation in the reality is not possible , a world exchange is taking place , but the real situation will be made in the imagination in mind .
an intensive form the foundation and a sense of meaning in a intolerable situation , the us human beings shape , not enables own submerged in nothing of loss of awareness .
everything is real , also later in the memory
also the züricher art historian peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book " heart change " as the rescue action of the soul .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a heart valves operation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to standstill .
visited claussen a appeared in a world made itself , foreign times and places : it is seen as bettlägerigen , old man , on board of a zugsanatoriums , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks in motorcycle on the country abducted , browses with his hospital bed in firn snow of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
he is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in the memory .
these internal travel for claussen , is radically different from any dream .
dream is a other state , be he describes .
quite the contrary , i am the memories travel from mental still after years and in secondary details about clear .
clearer and more intensive even than really what happened .
goes beyond the intensity of this erlebens the horizon of our other life secular experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - rapier hard .
ultimately show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drugs binge , how fragile our internal reflections of external reality also in the ensure are .
any change of the state of awareness of the psychologist caste , say , ' can lead to an verformung of , what we call reality . '
an experience , which can also be enriching .

mazda3 i stop : environmentally - friendly athleticism
mazda would like to prove that athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the model mazda3 the automatic stop christened and anfahr system of motors , on the behalf i - stop , introduced , a device , but the moment only for the 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands by their good marks the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenv received , the mechanics , the i - stop - system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front seat we can see that the front seats , a excellent ergonomics and offer good cohesion .
also the game of lenkrads is excellent .
look at in the further of unity , the from the instruments table and the armaturenbrett is , we can see that mazda with a variety of knöpfen and switchgear in the spectacular colors red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic home design , .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
without further can therefore be said that both the mazda 3 , as also the civic , both japanese models , by the coldness of german cars , particularly from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
dare the passenger compartment of these two japanese compact offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able in the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the ban and anfahr system is up to now only for the litre of petrol - 2 engine with 150 ps and a 6 - motion interconnection available .
engine of this is a real benefit . he stands by its points , by be quiet noise , its benefits , and by its low consumption .
and all those who not many kilometres in the year , , these should drive i - stop with petrol engines because of its interconnection groβen comfort in the motion and its low consumption , even if for mazda especially the diesel models are mostly sold , in consideration .
in relation to the budget is the for the test selected the so-called model sportive a special , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the series of resources .
from the series been stands above all , the assistant for the fahrspur exchange ( rvm ) , to the also abolishes the dead of view , but also the operators elements for the system of traction and stability , the speed trains , light - sensitive levels , the board of the interior computer with a groβen screen , the sensors to park , an independent climate plant , rain and light - sensors , bluetooth and audio - bluetooth , as well as the verchromten 17 - customs - wheels .

conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best compact car its class .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving behaviour and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres back in the year , the , too , i , the only with a buy - stop version 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps is available .
be the only negative in this model is but a high price , the between 21.770 euro for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the test wariness model sportive is .
than return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us , every day new highest driving passport .
a first with much glamour
l. example is the red tepppich the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
in the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy , more than ever . ( photographs : gtre online ) .
elegantly our ' pe ' , as always , opted for a dark ' lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is äuβerst limited , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without a possibility , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
enjoyed glory , it has its five minutes as it chose the magazine time to one of the products of the year .
it on the straβe to see , is unlikely , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones costs very little peek and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half of the price of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success so that , there has two new equipment in the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a life free service for data , unlike the peek , in which you pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same limits , as his american counterpart , but has a surprise one .
maintenance of the monthly price for the telephone , around eur 12 in the month , includes roaming for the whole of europe .
those who with a smartphone to travel the world know already , what it means , on all the data must not , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as we the country has cross , or when we desperately after a café with wifi addiction ( or with a link opportunity fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific offer contracts and prices for stays abroad , but in my experience , it needs already a doctorate in physics and a good lens , in order to be able to read all the small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in terms of affordable roaming tariffs for the whole of europe remained almost always ignored .
auβerhalb of their own country has always be afraid to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small machine as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the behalf fon , although it has no wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers , slowly but surely , is rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their data network .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .

the fetish colour of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the favourite colour of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour to him in his , without doubt , the second most important moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining green yellow - , the clothing from three parts - dress , jacket and coat - the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes as far as that had the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes but very are produced in the stoffart , from which they are .
in the official introduction it has a dress from top and in oslo one from gemusterten office .
also the accessories were different : the first time green footwear with half high paragraphs and the second time a änhliches model , but gold paints .

75 % of the working mothers , because of their maternity problems are given in the work
discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this result is the of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt : 75 % of working women see their career opportunities on the labour market restricted because of their maternity .
open the study , that it very broad differences in the decision , to a family reasons and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of professional exercise them .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house not carry out other activities , only part-time work or no have firmly work treaty will be more mothers and have more children .
in contrast the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , that is why the creation of a family and motherhood and have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a figure , for to 4.1 years for women with an increased employment , the taken longer to have to achieve this and draw together the her and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem has also the type of work , if a groβen influence on motherhood also less than the calendar with regard to the moment of conception willingness , " says the csic - researcher , margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , the the age of women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey is the age the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education and training .
this difference could also be found in the same age of women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they only have the main school or a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
also there is still , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with main final conclusion before their first permanent employment marry and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high school exactly the other way around and seek only a permanent employment and marry later and have their first child then , is delgado .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother was last week by our part in the municipality of wander fuenlabrada , when a group of young people suddenly between 15 and 18 years alongside their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the animal home and the just six kilo is , and then from the blue missed you him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
our indignation it is not in words , since it is us incomprehensible where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animal should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
added to that is the suffocation attack , the weather was walking a woman who received , than they these people because of the incident wise wanted to , it feared even their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an elderly probably even with every make that he himself is the weaker than .
normally the incident occurred in a calm city quarter at five p.m. on an ordinary tuesday .
has the dog geheult the whole day .
we have of course in a close to police service , but , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we will not be able to understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animal fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
do we know where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

increasing the sale of small lorries again something to
begins , after almost two years the car market for small transporters finally see some light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , the in november in spain were allowed , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that they are so that the first increase at all after 22 successive months with constant decline , gemäβ the association of anfac and the car dealers by manufacturers association ganvam presented figures .
however , this good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , as the reference data used for the comparison of november 2008 are , that a particularly bad verkau year with a reduction of 60 % in respect of the previous year was .
however , we must bear in mind that , apart from the increase in the last month , the overall authorisations still this 11 months of 40 % below the sales figures of the previous rules year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , but all vehicles , from which the vans market is , include : descendants of passenger cars to pick - ups , easier small vans , small vans and lorries / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , which demand the same storm clouds in , because also affect the most if some of the vehicles be bought by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in almost 100 % of all cases , the purchase by a third funding working .
so we must these restrictions , what the result of the tap turned the lending institutions are further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the unemployment rate or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and in the difference to the cars , have the financial aid for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
however , this plan is not only for private determines people , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a small carrier up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales figures speak for themselves .
just yesterday again had ganvam reminded that it is part of the state necessary , is also a special emphasis on these small lorries , as well as , of course , for the industry vehicles ( lorries and buses ) .
predicted the car dealers association for the year 2010 a similar year such as the just last , for which it with a sales ( of default in passenger cars and offroad vehicles ) by 19 % .
brake exercises in the support in critical situations is now duty
as was already in the anti- lock braking bremssystem ( and as it now happening with the esp stability control , the aid systems must become the brakes in cases of emergency will be a duty equipment in the european cars .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light small trucks , for the remaining vehicles a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
adopted by the european union the maβnahme has the objective , to improve the protection of fuβgänger , however , these braking systems because of their work , also help to prevent , many front - rear collisions .
is the task of the brake assistants , more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical brake on the basis of the system maneuver , carried out by the drivers brake strength on the brake recognises to exercise .
however , is not until the end this pressure from this system .
according to a commissioned by the component manufacturers for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the toss together even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the brake aid against attacks with maximum force in the braking system a and reduced by the brake time and thus also the brake gap , the a car in the brake process back .
according to a study in the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking assistants would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal damage be prevented could - as soon as the so-called intelligent emergency braking systems be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radar or a camera ) obstacles and recognises the drivers warns , with a light at the same time pressure on the brakes .
if the driver subsequently responded , helps him the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , it would be necessary .
if the drivers together not respond to the warning and even if the toss is already inevitable , , the brake assistant the maximum pressure on the brakes from , in this way , to keep the damage as low as possible .
general motors postpones the plan for opel until january
while the workforce of the opel plant in figueruelas ( zaragoza ) already by nick reilly , the new chairman of general motors ( gm ) europe , have been informed that meriva the production of the new at will start in the first week of april , probably on 8 , according to javier ortega , the american car manufacturers of pointing out that it needs more time , in order to bring the rescue plan for opel to a conclusion .
nick reilly , the chairman of the new , by gm europe wants to achieve , namely the fact that the affected side their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , the first workers and then the governments of the countries , in which there are works , is presented , until the beginning will postpone 2010 .
dementgegen will by gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
because it is not surprising that the swedish government the pressure on the american car has increased , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
gm are , to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
one of these buyers could be geely , the also would like to buy up volvo , however , the option of dutch manufacturer the skyper - sports , by the group of the russian converg backing has , ever stronger support .
if it with any of these buyers should come to an agreement , could gm some assets to the chinese baic sell .

on the tax of porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used the engineers the boxster s as a basis and it really managed to make it easier to 80 kilos , which he now brings only 1.275 kilos of balance .
abandoning in order to create something you as a first to the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a tent screen roof with manuellem driving , so that we alone has saved 21 kilo ; thanks to the aluminium doors used in this model such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the climate plant nor time 13 ; auβerdem the tank of 64 to 54 litres of fuel has been reduced , so that have been further 7 kilo ; saved by the installation of sporting bacquet - are still time , 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
then it was also still by the renunciation of the audio - system 's cdr 30 once again six kilos less and through the exchange of türgriffe handles from substance which lack kilo achieved .
although it also with the gear box double clutch wheels pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional hand wheels , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to mountain routes , the really very kurvig were .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
has the reduction of its weight but no if led that he now no longer so sure would be on the straβe .
rather , the opposite is the case : since long we have already no longer such a small and light model test dangers , the a but also a feeling of groβer security in the curves , even in high speed , are .
able to do this , it is a small athlete , its muscles in a low motion in the necessary time to make warm , until we , to give him the orders lawn to curb to recover and then again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything what he says . the car power everything , what we him with our hands at the wheel indicate that , thanks to its steering , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he makes it with the precision of surgeons .
engine of a sound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very managed and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system , the engine noise can change , which already in the panamera used for the first time .
brutally the speeding up assets is inconceivable , whether from the are or the renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , was already quite damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
had the electronic assistants to the whole of the route almost nothing to do ; and the , although we in some of these curves ice in the grey and tomorrow rollsplitt took this morning .
in summary we can say that it is an ultra - easy car , a car , with whom you have an indescribable driving passport has , as it otherwise rather rarely are and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

pays the baskonia to a victory in israel itself
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 in his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group after the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , was the triple the best of his team with eight ( 29 in the assessment ) .
could the team from vitoria the significant loss of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace team work , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great hit with 16 from the perimeter valued triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory in .
began the game , with the leadership of the blue red , right from the start to the top table , on the advertisements .
since the first four baskets the team from vitoria already from the perimeter came , we have already seen guess that you on the playing field with well reheated hand gelenken were .
there were english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava are for an internal way game of barac decided and for the game of judge eliyahu , in its return to the team with pfiffen and applause was received , be the home is , in order to further develop to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic already began as the best of his team with 13 points highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the cluster can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , despite the clear advantage in the break the game was not yet been decided and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer remind you once again that not everyone wins on their playing field , and thanks to the attack always ' hand of elías ' , they were back into the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
still more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , had to a few game trains with prepare soundness in order to receive air to again , and in one of them was suddenly the gun of mirza teletovic , the with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that advertisements on the table again a more reassuring gap by ( 54 - 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen have been in the last quarter bloβ and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless , resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although cluster because fouls being made by the place , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended good and even though the israelis are still in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a victors and tel aviv for the first time in this season .

the team from malaga had neither fear of the mood in the hall of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to your offer game in first quarter were the andalusian start to dream . a aggresive defence and three successive three times , two by omar cook and a by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 - in the minute of 9 .
olympia cos was by the intensity of the ereins uni caja surprised , even if the indigenous team with an internal game between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the displays table in the 13 minute 22 - 20 to their benefit anzeigte , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and why both disqualified have been .
began to be , warm weather at last the greek team and its superiority on both game halves , while the departure of the englishman joel free country as a result of a violation of and the three itself caused error by carlos jiménez significant traces in the standardisation caja behind lieβen .
under their players in the field of interior and the lithuanian before linas kleizas players , with its triple , they increased their advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .

many thanks !
after the most tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets to the prevailing mood of the markets was , on the markets is returned the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , because this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker decisions on an inherently uncertain future meeting .
it was the maβnahme applied to the stabilisation of the markets , to pay the debt with the direct purchasing of assets and indirectly to the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the end of assets as well as directly purchases are , and without their heterodox policy to the liquidity in question , start to spread , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already having eighth with their year auction , which will take place next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premiums .
the flüchtigkeiten the stock markets and the differences in the companies bonuses increase , even if they are still far removed from the paramilitary normal amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the states have been forced to nationalize private risks and the state debt to rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged refuge of the investors , resulting in an increase of the differences in respect of the countries of the euro area leads to germany .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
damages on the other hand a degree of uncertainty is not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , the once again had tried , in the responsible an awareness of the world economic policy , for what they had caused , to produce , since they the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credit had led to the loss of jobs , slowed down , when you actually a new day for the thanks action beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , there is a tribal war between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
conceals a government , what the state debt , elections , and a new government , at the same thing .
prodi made it in italy after berlusconi and sócrates in portugal after durão barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary from the beginning of the year not save fulfilment of its foreign payments and thus a euro - member country is allowed , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens with the need of auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected before a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts , the now within the expected would lie .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences the state of debt with the same speed as the european companies bonuses increase .

this as a fourth he receives us president , but only when the third , directly in the price to take office .
obama already envisaged the white house that in the adoption of the price will be discussing the war in afghanistan .
wants to the president not avoid this issue , because he knows that he takes up the price as a president that leads to the time war in two countries .
the war efforts he has a few days ago compounded by sending more troops to afghanistan , which none of its critics forgets to highlight .
at the ceremony , obama was also the gol coin , and of the diploma the cheque on ten million swedish kronor ( approximately 24 million czech crowns ) .

sorting - the waste container in brno smell not well
in prague , the people the drinks packaging sorting , in the south moravian towns will be back on step and enters the sorting waste container .
and in brno ?
there should be a few minutes reserve , in order to find the appropriate waste tonnes .
i am not saying that the waste separation in brno would be unable to operate at all .
but it is me above , al if the gentlemen of the council is inadequate take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno finds itself in the waste divide in the jungle league , not only because we as citizens here in the sorting container always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all by the mülltonnen number for such waste .
you have some time in the centre tried , for example , the pet bottles in a basket of collection to dispose ?
that is the art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
accidentally found in the up until now the only body , which i have taken is that of moravia place towards the goose .
mr onderka us his colleagues should not get angry , but that strikes me far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste separation is also in other parts not honey simple .
whole ranks my friends sorting this waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the waste tonnes .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the ceremony offered to dispose of a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have no colour mülltonnen seen .
fortunately i came in road bahnfahren in the right place .
ran the waste but almost on .
this is still the centre of brno , thus making the whole city is represented , not true ?
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetics the brünner socialists probably cold .
they prefer to buy the city of an ice hockey league , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than to buy a few more tonnes of waste and the sorting further raw materials for a cleaner brno to offer .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have sought a while on the internet .
eko after the data of society - com is brno really in whole district south moravia worst since .
has the " paroubek ' - budget deprive them of the money for pensions and health money
after the left - wing party despite the view of the government gave money to the farmers and officials , more , is no money in the budget for pensions , health and building society rules more money available .
but also not for the public debt interest or for the international court disputes .
which caused the even more problems , the in the second half of next year at the government will be , says the finance ministers , eduard janota .
than the social democrats and communists have implemented the salary increase for some groups , they expect to see the government , the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the health borrows money in addition . " this is only a postponement of the problems in the future , mines , " says janota .
from the loans will exclude always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to choice , where the state coffers are empty .
if the social services or costs for the state are business , not be reduced tax on the increase .
for all the , which left - wing party now , the teachers were more money : the fire - fighters , the farmers .
later and also for their children .
with the pensions or the health of money , the account of 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , they receive this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the state coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota the debt will increase as ever more quickly and together with this , the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the value added tax slightly or to cut the maternity money , as the government in its against deficit - package .
because of the externalisation of the money will be in favour of certain groups of voters in next year also five billion for development of motorways and railways lack .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
received the very most , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or cancellation of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money creation warns that the spokesman of the ministry of transport , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that it solves the flow of money afraid - they attacking cez stock dividends , with which the state owner of the majority is , and then the money from this in the transport fund would become active .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is by no means a source of endless .
fins from last year cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year will be paid from the liquidations environmental damage - the dividends , topped up the pension account and this also serves as a reserve for the money planned pension reform .
with this trick rising moreover , following the rules of the eu , the actual budget deficit to the nieveau by 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end but not yet the carnival - of the transformations .
almost three billion sank the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the court disputes , even for the bausparen .
manage without this money , whether the state is not safe .
this is pure gambling .
if we lose an international court dispute , then we need to pay anyway , this makes janota clear .
save the money , then the minister , we must portfolio internally or in the worst case scenario , the government budget reserve attack .
one hundred million lack also for the two billion already begun ' treasury ' project , which is intended to enable on- line to monitor , for as regards the individual authorities spend the money .
launching the first step in january .
should the finance ministers find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case come sanctions , warned janota .
dominate their next smartphone will be two operating systems
expect the americans for the future with a mobile phone , on the user by pressing a single button between various operating systems could tune .
presented the plans are promising .
it is , only to push a button and , for windows mobile , within a few seconds in exchange android .
wants to precisely such a possibility the american society vmware imagine , mainly focused on the development of the virtual softwares for the computer .
we allow them to the mobile phone two users profiles at the same time to carry out .
you can switch between this , you will be able to deal with those in two separate home and work profiles .
both are work in parallel , indicated by the company vmware srinivas krishna murti the interview for the magazine computer world .
it was presented in november last year and a few days ago for the first time shown .
on the market will come in 2012 .
virtualization the smart phones is not the fiction .
vmware led the journalists already the smart phone test model with two operating systems successfully .
one was a modified nokia n800 with a ram - storage of 128 mb , on the parallel systems mentioned at the same time the windows mobile and android were .
the development of the new technology for mobile phones is authorised in full .
now the company is working vmware together with the european and american operators in the smartphonen - virtualisirung and subscribers should the equipment within the year 2012 .
snow lack on the mountains plaguing the hotel owners
scneelose pisten make sorgenn not only the giant mountains - residents .
the lack of snow discourages the appointment of the people of ski stay in hotels and pensions .
therefore we can in giant mountains still free rooms for all winter dates incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
visited our pages are often .
by the people go offers , note the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint binding .
and if you ask us to call it immediately , whether our opinion , the christmas this year on snow or ' on matsch ' will be that the operators in the information portal spindl.info , martin jan dura .
who the new year 's eve - residence in the spindel mill exactly to his ideas , should no longer with the appointment hesitate .
preferred who saving and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , the can try to wait a few days for .
offer the spindel mill hotel owners now for the silvestertag largely only weeks stays .
i think that they are still a long time , will endeavour to sell them , but then they too must give , and on shorter times .
and then the free rooms will quickly dwindle , jan dura estimated .
free beds in all winter dates always provides always also the travel office ing tours in vrchlabi .
now we are most interested in the christmas week , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the jobs still freely .
therefore we have already prepared some cheaper christmas stays for the last moment that the director of the travel agents ing tours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant mountains the vrchlabi travel office can also offer , but there is much less free jobs .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining winter deadlines be sold on average .
in this year is the interest for the winter stays also negatively affected by the fact that in giant mountains is always no snow .
the people will wait and see whether snow falls .
nobody wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the pisten within a week verschneit be , will also be the christmas compromising , believes schiefert .
reversed and a little better than in last year , we will succeed in the room in the hotel horizon in pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than last year .
on silvestertag to christmas and we have just a few more free rooms .
there is a great deal of interest in the polish holidays in janua , and in february , the rules will also go well , informed the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
for 80 % of the new year 's eve stays is also the hotel omnia the central parking in janske lazne occupied .
object is to be christmas in the most recent hotel in janske lazne still half of the beds freely .
pleasant struck us in the january this year , for which we are currently occupied already around 60 % .
now is a bit weaker the february , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the hold - ups in the giant mountains , the director of the hotel omnia , erik sporysch .
waiting for a greater snow mess the giant mountains hotel owners now .
on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , should that be on the mountains snow .
but then again a warming is supposed to come , informed jiri jakubsky from the location of the czech weather office in hradec kralove .
united states : repetition is the mother of wisdom
it is almost funny , with which pupils strebsamkeit barack obama , the president with his reputation of the brightest , his predecessor 's strategy in the issue of afghanistan , repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its eagerly awaited afghanistan - doctrine ausschwitzte , it was that he this on the copying paper from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that he in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush statement of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new way forward ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago the bush idea - fresh contingents in the troubled by the civil war iraq to send in their conclusions , as the ' irresponsible and karastrophische criticised decision ' .
subsequent months but showed that the recommendations of the military outgoing bush strategy the only possible and was very successful in the sense that we in the news about iraq today no longer speaks at all .
bush 's reputation this has not improved , because he has his successor objectively behind a much dankbarere starting situation , when it was to be expected .
barack obama in afghanistan hopes , that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , especially the upper stanley mccristal - general , the operation commander of the afghanistan - even despite the subordination habits the vacillating protect in the white house hard criticised .
40,000 soldiers he called for , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
hesitated the president three months , but it is to have a better idea and so he has the general wenistens defrauded of 10,000 soldiers .
pressed from europe he has the promise of another 5,000 , even if he myself initially at least with 10,000 expected .
highly problematic in the whole strategy of obama is be projects , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan as early as 18 months , and to conclude this process within three years . the whole obama - doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as the measure halved in the iraq will bring .
also , despite the brother of recent years , the iraq war - society relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the counter indication - on no one can be kept and there will be no agreements rely .
under such conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces , which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up formally correct , remain just a veneer buildings , which will excel towards the patriarchal tribal relations further .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to the confusion of the conditions , the pakistan and iran - complicate influences even further .
also the building of a viable ' state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama - strategy surprised by his voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers who in the war cries about the ' early return ' has broken out , are a miracle , can only create a truly romantic soul , which will not impress the facts .
from the political view is the date for the withdrawal of troops mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as the american defeat , receive the indirect confession .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans , is to participate in the battles in afghanistan , is running out .
europe politicians cannot and will also not explain to their voters , the way in which the security germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush - mountain connected .
another possible factor , which can influence the situation radically , is the development of the events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions on the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this question must be answered in the period , in which america after obama withdrawal from afghanistan is the winner .
any solution will but also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only comfort for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore there is still enough time , so that it can resort to another strategy , fallls this prove total default would .
received the managers of the bank goldman sachs no more premiums bonuses in cash
the senior leaders of the american bank goldman sachs received in this year no more premiums bonuses in cash .
the company has announced , the response to the severe criticism from their wage practices .
receives a group of 30 top managers rather than the money stock , but only in five years can sell .
furthermore , the stock can be deprived of the managers in the case , if they act excessively risky .

i believe that the wall street on further direction is aware , in which it has to go , the former bankers the jpmorgan , douglas elliott , of society .
the problem lies in the details , it added .
goldman sachs made to the target of criticism , after you for the first three quarters almost $ 17 billion this year had set aside for premiums bonuses .
the overall level of premiums bonuses in the course of this jahra will , after the agency reuters probably despite , too , the measure reported today exceed 20 billion dollars .
the high - premium bonuses in the banking sector , with the start of the financial crisis in a series of länders become the most controversial political issue .
britain reported on wednesday that it intends to exceed the bankers ' bonuses , the 25,000 pound unique , with a tax of 50 % to burden .
similar steps is also preparing france .
in this year the prizes have women in all disciplines won , except in physics .

if there are several prize in each category , the price of money will be distributed amongst them .
tradition in accordance with the american president , barak obama , has the most expected already received nobel peace prize in oslo today afternoon .
he has recognised the kontrovere his appointment in his speech , because it is only the beginning of its path , and , furthermore , in the tip of the country is , the two wars lead - in the iraq and in afghanistan .

the tireless campaigner against the racist apartheid system of government in the south african republic and its first president of the black , nelson mandela , is in its life history of the american oscar actor , morgan freeman .
freeman said that he was asked by the mandela einundneunzig year whether it could be in the eastwood movie .
assumes the role of another importance of full damon alike .
i told him : " if i they play will , i must they meeting .
the seventy - two years of actors , the prize for his role in the field of eastwood - drama from the box ' million dollars had been given baby ' , was already the leader of the movement towards the abolition of slavery , from the has become a final word on the day slave - masters , a fictitious us president , and also god in ' evan omnipotent ' , but rarely someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people like mandela .
was the former südafrikanische state mann for his active in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was released in 1990 to undfür four years he was president of the country .
awarded the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , in the years 1875 was issued .
was the requirement to speak , as he
outlines the film a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugby team , francois pienaar join , in order to bring the country to some . the new president mandela also know that his people post- apartheid still remains in terms of racial and shared economically .
he believes that he be people through sport can agree , that is why he decides that the rugby players , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .

freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela history to the cinema screens .
he had no different objective , as this role to play so , in order to get closer to reality to this as closely as possible said freeman .
the greatest challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
actors in the said , if he and the world politicians would be in the same country that he would try to meet with mandela , evening with him to eat , and , in his speech to be behind the scenes .

light secret via norway dissolved : the russians have successfully tested a missile
via norway was a special light effect unknown origin to observe .
ministry of the russian defence has admitted that not only yesterday the norwegian border an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested .
again the start , however , was not successful and the rocket described as a type " bulava that originally should be the pride of the russian army , is slowly to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the missile test has had no positive effect on the success of the test flights .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers writes we already debating the ' bulava ' than a rocket ' that not flying ' .
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the rocket have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third missile stage .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij that under the white sea water .
this raketentyp allows for the launch of the submarine .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious caused by an unspecified fliegendes object light on north because , in fact , the damaged ' bulava ' was .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
has this time the generals challenged and claims that it does not clearly can talk of a failure .
were not from the first two stages of the missile and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases have been at the same time the engines in the first stage damaged .
even if no test start without its faults , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for unsuccessful .
almost 50 % of the success that is why the generals met with optimism and it will continue to claimed that the ' bulava " even without problems will be flying and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads with a total weight of max . 1.15 tonnes will bear .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the variable tempered 's hiv viruses ,
testing the team of czech and the german scientists , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv viruses on the organism .
the main advantage of improved substance is that it is also in the viruses who already are resistant to medicines .
outweighs this fact against the disadvantage that the link in normal virus - does not so much variants , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids cannot yet be curable .
the patients can the compilation of medicines but extend the life and prevent the proliferation of hiv viruses in the body .
their income will but accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete repression of the virus reproduction has also the development sg . resistant viruses as a result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the experts from three institutions of the academy of sciences cr , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane effect on the protein substance , the responsible for expansion of hiv viruses is .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links the virus reproduction block on all other than medicines used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new 's improved 's links , on the basis of the knowledge of molecular mechanism for linking it to the viruses - protein substance were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , which from boron - , hydrogen and carbon - atoms and by a metal - nuclear power , in this case cobalt , are linked .
pet tückisches and lasting virus
protease hiv is protein substance of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would create no tyres infection viruses particles .
if we switch off the hiv protease , we involve the increase in the body of the virus of the patients from , the scientists in the press , the report by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry the academy of sciences cr was issued .
in the work in the journal science newspaper of medicinal chemistry was published , describing the scientists whole ranks of links in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked through a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
weaker something , but reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won by hiv - infected patients .
the impact of metalokarborane on the usual enzyme variant , is not so much as the clinically used medicines , but it will not lose their effects on the resistant variant , against which the medicines used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism and their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and the possibility of further chemical shaping , power metalokarboranen to interesting links for further research , focused on the development of effective anti- hiv drugs says pavlina rezacova , leader of the laboratories for structural biology of the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and molecular genetics the academy of sciences of the institute .
dispute because budget . ods on fishing , the does
the chairman of the ods , mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime by jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the expression of the ods the prime minister called as " strong worry " .
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
ods the vice - chairman , petr necas , said that this concept of officials cabinet with the support of the ods and cssd , green party obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends to rely in parliament to the minority , when it comes to the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parliament left .
this approach of the ods and the social democrats , to the issue of the public deficits is diametrically differently , necas has pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with left - wing party - amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
parliament has the money for state officials ' salaries , for the maintenance of social services , increased for direct payments to farmers .
has the government keeping counter to the social democracy 's proposals that it conceals the budget deficit increase .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is the wish of the government , because also the amended budget is only a less bad variant of the budget provisional . frase emergency clear
disappointment and futility
the finance ministers , eduard janota , spoke about his disappointment and a sense of futility led , while prime jan fischer has judged that the government , the current situation .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation in the event , that the amendment proposals were approved , the situation would look different .
in accordance with the czech television has janota after the rules for monday government with the prime registered .
he has indicated that he be another remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
extent to which fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so that , in accordance with necas social democracy 's nominanten ( cssd ) , which imposed the changes in the budget , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue deficit - enhancing laws , for example the , concerning the sickness pay and pensions , or the services law changed .
topolanek : the nominated by ods minister is not wrong
it is a matter of the prime minister fishermen and the whole government .
the ministers have not made mistakes , nominated by the ods has topolanek highlighted in the text news from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some ministries in deputy function people who commit to top 09 who voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against the deficit - level of public finances to renounce , " it is absolutely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then he supposedly with the support and tolerance of the citizens democrats cannot count .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i will deal so that , of the said citizens democrats nominated defence minister martin bartak the journalists in parliament .

needed for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses .
as a whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the quantities 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
save you but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has for all farmland vaccination of children spent around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
ear cause pneumokokken resources pneumonia , but also serious infections including brain skin inflammations and blood poisoning .

the experts on the international conference , was involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .

according to the original project should the vaccines are purchased by the insurance and the doctors receive them on the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
some members have feared , however , that the insurance as " the money from the health insurance could lead ' .
buy the doctors the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance you pay for them .

this will not be easy , says cabrnochova .

still you and we
islam can be french ?
pluralism and pragmatism in a secular state .
at a time when the swiss electorate voted in favour of a ban on building of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has a sound and thoughtful report written about it , whether muslims in one of the most avowedly säkularisier societies in europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
some readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( original title : ' why the french don 't like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a dispute that divided the country through more than one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still exercise today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and more kühneres range .
as a good anthropologist would he not only like to know what the politicians and the media , on the islam say in france , but what happens in the area really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
he is a good listener , it gives debates between teachers and students , on the questions of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs her marry a non- muslim man ?
it is for a muslim permissible to use an interest - oriented banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is these seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims , the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known names , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars who was born in switzerland and professionals .
this new generation trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
questioned the thinkers and activists who bowen , with their salafi counterparts are usually divided – advocates of puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia is – the nowadays a small but influential presence among europe 's muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , a convention requires a give and take on both sides .
he queries to what extent are french policymakers ( and the intellectual elite , the so passionate the separation of church and state guarded ) really feel committed to pluralism .
he suggests that muslims may receive rougher treatment than catholics , protestants , jews , who had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
he recognizes a " tightening the screws of values " rather than a growing pragmatism .
islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this paper , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .

sánchez has repeatedly asked for permission to leave the country , in order to receive prices , but this has always been rejected .
the arrest of an american contractor is probably the tensions between the government of the castro communist brother in cuba and the obama administration increase , a " slow " proximity to the improvement of relations with the island had sought .
the news of the arrest of the new york times reported was first last friday night .
attaches importance to the new us policy will provide a contribution in the united states , if the cuban government took concrete steps in this direction , as release political prisoners and the creation of more room for opposition .
mobile phones and notebooks are in cuba legally , even though you are new and coveted products in a country , in which the average earnings of an government officials $ 15 per month .
since this year , the cuban government only allowed normal citizens the purchase of a mobile phone , they are mainly used for the dispatch of text messages , because a 15 - minute telephone conversation a daily wage costs would .

test data show persistent racial divide
performance were welcome last week the certificates to mathematics good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
although the district washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the excellence produce the evidence to show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national evaluation of the educational progress ( national assessment of educational programme - naep ) is included , is the persistently performance gap between african - american and white pupils , both at local , and national level .
point of the average number of white viertklässler from washington d.c. rose in the last two years of 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american counterparts , but only three points rose from 209 to 212 .
output gap between 2007 and 2009 , in reality , which rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , it fell by a statistically significant point from 245 to 244 .
average number of point white pupils was not included in the test data , since the sample size was not big enough .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
separated the gap , the white and black viertklässler 2003 , when the first naep was recorded in this district , fraud 60 scale points ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the number of point that children have achieved both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
some educational supporters of the southern district last week expressed their concern that the results of school chancellor michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , the largest part of white pupils , who are already strong children , were driven forward .
this intimates that we the overall value judgement by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is complicated and difficult , jeff smith said , a member of the board of the dc voice , a nonprofit group for the equality of education in washington d.c. entry .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , said the democratic washington councillor member , kwame a daughter , in the fourth r. brown , who has the eaton primary school classes .
brown , a frequent critics of the management style of rhee , said , the message of the examination figures point is that the secondary schools by the city need urgent attention .
naturally , there is always a would like to see the positive signs , i respect that .
what frightens me , however , is that we not spend nearly the time and energy , using the funds we for our school should .
rhee said , the district must continue , to find better ways to be in order to meet the needs of the weak - achieving pupils .
in this autumn , for example , some will teachers , trained in a new read curriculum , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary school and resources aimed at school , what basic skills of reading not at the start of their school have mastered career and the significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , from nursery school to the sixth class games and real - life experience in the centre stage , was under the former senior school inspector clifford janey according to washington and this curriculum will be some of the naep - progress , which have been attributed to , reported last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , are under the central level , rhee said .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the overall performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and the resources can be made available for the performance of weak schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education at the university of california at berkeley , the urban audit findings investigated .
is the conventional cure , and its resources management reforms at schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work to this important item .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban school inspectors that they are trying to white and black middle class to keep .
our focus is to ensure that we build a great schools system .
we must strengthen our schools in the city areas , so that every family , irrespective of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public education can receive .
janey , the now school inspector in newark , is , in an interview this week said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the output gap is , the traditional public school , and at the moment that in washington 180 days is to extend , in order to compete with the charter schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 next , in order to have the power to change , janey said , with its teachers trade union last year to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
university education for more people than future prospect
achieved the coach the gettysburg college , with a resounding pipe .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , namely the brick walls and of the ' emerald greens lawn . '
gracielas parents have the scrappy high school concluded in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silvermines spring and now live in river allendale , never set foot in a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler of the group , to explore the gettysburg where the teaching costs usd 38.690 per year , was the full of reverence visitor , rather than the one enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for natural sciences enter the building .
wow , really ? " " they said food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 that have visited on their three - day tour of the child and now they have the desired message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to the college .
the question is where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school not end or as a teenager become pregnant , but also on the other hand , there are hundreds of thousands , what the college , which is necessary in order to receive training in the middle class levels .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation ' of the college hispanics americans – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of your immigrant parents , mainly came from mexico or in central america , in the united states , without the high school have finished .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation that has a huge role in the labour forces in the country will play , show the way forward .
assess , the powerful children , those who say that this very often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , for their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but advice programmes also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help , to come in college , especially if these efforts on a longer time continue .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills , to help them in the search for a way through the system , we will then have a single measure at any time does not solve the problem , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanic american students examined .
we must consider , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school to make available .
the federal programme had financed tour gracielas college , is a useful example .
it is known as implement up a gear - and , more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch college - preparatory work programmes , the start , if low - income school pupils in the funds are , and to continue until you have completed the high school .
according to the us department for education , the programme has helped more than 10 million pupils since 1999 , 60 % of whom more than in college gone .

department for population issues , while the number of 60 years and the ageing population group in the year 2020 by 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far above the global average of around 20 % .
this imbalance is in rich coastal cities with educated population , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child - per - couple has been .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai city demographic and family planning commission has said that couples get normal reproductive age babies must , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population shares and the shortage of manpower to alleviate the future . "
shanghai will soon ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual easing
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , the breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual salary in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese state representatives have attributed to this policy is that the critical demands of natural resources country could be avoided , while representatives of human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have some officials pregnant women , who already has a child were forced to abortion .
couples had also implement gender selective abortion , causing a unnatural balance of women to men .
over the past few years , government representatives for population gradually moderated their position on the one- child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases in which both husband and wife individual children have been -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the university for population research institute beijing said that government representatives recently even discussed more radical changes have , for example , couples to allow two children , where a partner individual child is .
shanghai was in july to the first chinese city , the launched an aggressive campaign to promote more birth .
posters , the family belehrten , only to have a child , were replaced almost overnight of directives , which describe in detail , who for a second child question is and how we can apply for authorisation .
has the city administration urban employees and volunteers for family planning sent to go and see couples at home and data sheets under the doors to blame .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice for the available to , the more than have a child .
encouraging the response was not just said , family planning representatives .
disappointing response
although from a rural town in the foreign areas officials from shanghai said , that a recovery in the applications from couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign a second child , the urban districts against this report does not want to change .
in the municipality huinan with a population of 115 000 are still per month as an example only four to five requests .
disillusioned shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- slightly higher than 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the family planning committee of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people are no longer want to have children .
they want to give her first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juan juan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , as many chinese , only a minor health and life insurance by the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the one- child policy falsely as a question of human rights , said yang , a civil engineer , his wife in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , leader of the staff , said that you would just like to a child , because it was also an individual child ' . we were the centre of the family and used , that everyone has has dealt with us .
we are not accustomed to us to care for others and did not really want this . '
chen zijian , a 42 -year-old , a translation companies , the said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with double career , by the birth rate is falling , he said , it is a matter to be a success and that means we must be selfish .
the the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that grew to their parents during the early days of the chinese capitalism experiment fight and they want to see such a life for themselves , if not he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of parents .
a mother must abandon their social life for at least two years .
then there is the area question -- " we must rebuild its housing ' -- and the planning of life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have a curriculum vitae able to the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , to make this a time , chen said , but not twice .
our generation is the first , which has achieved a higher standard of living and he said .
we want not too many sacrifices .
un group devises plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and recrimination -- has on friday , publication of a document again a priority , for the next 40 years of recording an ambitious reduction in greenhouse gas emissions , and the industrial nations in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could deliver , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but he was seen as an important progress in a negotiated , the time comes , because next week than 100 leaders from all over the world will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a specific was formulated , is silent on the quantity of money from the rich countries to the poor , countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
he also offers a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging countries can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit for the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , the six - page document has drafted , has summed up a negotiating text 180 pages in order to make the in the centre of what the representative of the leading climate protection of the un , ivo de boer , described as " the great whole ' .
it shows the fundamental plans for a possible agreement , in which the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce their emissions in the same period , while major developing countries would reduce by 15 % to 30 % .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
moreover , the european community has the talks on friday a boost by your assurance given , over the next three years to provide $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the champions of flooding and droughts to avoiding deforestation .
the friday , nevertheless , the same verbal pyrotechnics the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american climate - change special envoy todd stern began has wordings rejected , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions for greater demand emerging countries , if this not be financed by the industrial nations .
announced that this train the obama government a tougher line with china , as representative of the bush government is not even two years ago .
sign the united states are no agreements , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so star also lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , to ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern , its opinion was a time after the statement by the chinese deputy foreign minister he yafei , which stated that it was the leading american climate negotiators either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the world 's major powers at stake , have , both within the industrial nations , as well as between the industrial nations and the fault lines emerging countries opened up .
equally , the current fight relates to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , and china and the united states , which , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries claim that the two dozen most influential countries would ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the major powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high greenhouse gas levy to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , implying will develop new economic domination , so ulate , also as a regional climate change advisers for conservation internationally in mexico and central america is active .
some of the countries that are most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding agreement in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , early on friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur until - butcher , the leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , said that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " partly because they are now united and measures of the emerging countries , such as china , india , and demand .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders must be clarified , in order to come to an agreement .
high - level representatives , as the indian environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen their aircraft and around by the corridors of bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
the sheer scale of the assembly -- 13,000 people go on a daily basis in congress centre and from activists , gitarre match organise late - night shows , in which it is about making fun of the countries , which is your opinion , betrayed and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
builds the intensity just on that almost all the important ministers are here , and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .

britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the monday feeling new
monday morning at 5 o'clock 13 will be a pipe permeate the darkness , in order to announce a train departure , which represents a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first high - speed commuter train in the country is in its lightning journey from ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes on board the first javelin - commuter services from london .
he hopes , that the new service britain finally to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains will ankoppeln and the large urban areas the midland region , and of the north of scotland in london will bind .
the neglected province could be to living commuter cities , labour meps hours would radically reduced and the exchange of aircraft and car on rail would the national carbon emissions and reduce congestion on the roads .
believe the three large parties in theory this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are necessary for the construction of a new national rail network , the inevitable planning slaughter and fears of environmental damage in the british high - speed of tracks could still applying the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company based in january , and that the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis according to the times deliver the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed routes card of the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london is to link with the west midlands , is with a margin of five metres in urban areas and pass in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
on the free premises will the plan the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route show .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
proposed the preferred option is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead to the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead western pennines to manchester and scotland and another in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle - upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion of the travel time would be between london and edinburgh on 2 hours 40 minutes reduce .
the first part of the route which would not be opened up in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
draft the offer the trains , with a speed of the possibility to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network the quickest europe would .
the first line has been planned in such a way as to 400 metres long trains with a maximum capacity of 1.100 people who insist able to travel .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
again , this would mean that in london a terminus station would be necessary , on the 20,000 travellers per hour - could be .
given the spatial restrictions in the capital is expected that a existing station would be extended to the high - speed network .
rail experts say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultation and planning measures mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliament elections .
but if he is the wheels in motion , that in sections of the network must be built .
trains should first of the high - speed lines to existing rail routes in the north of birmingham change , which the travel time between london and scotland would continue to lie in over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the rail revolution .

he says : " i have spent my money for my garden and rise entitled to a tiny part , in terms of what is heard .
and i would have the whole damned sum can demand , but i am not doing it . '
parliament member , millionaire from his previous career as ölgroß dealers , was the first time in may attacked because of its expenditure , when it became clear that he had demanded thousands of pounds for his , before he had checked with the fees office that this ' could be regarded as excessive demand . "
protest has an activist than in duncans lawn a hole in the form of a £ label dug , after it became known that he over three years gbp 4000 ( eur 4 500 ) had demanded .
last night , when he was asked about the increased mortgage , duncan : " this was said by both the fees office , and which subsequently legg to increase value has been approved . "
he added : ' there is no debate on and backing by overlooked or a bend the rules or similar .
everything is completely transparent and strictly within the rules is moving , is approved and everything .
it could not be clearer and clean . "

hervé morin announcing publicly his intention to , to take this udf labelling , since he is the opinion that françois bayrou not worthy would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
of the defence ministers , whose party partners the ump is , incidentally , wanted to this strategy on saturday before the national council of the nc to reaffirm .
the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now in received nc ) , the right to the property of the brand udf , since it firstly that these branded 2004 as the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the secretariat of the collapsed by françois bayrou 's friends supervised parties alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave us to understand that they are not expropriate left , and the minister and the honourable member under threat of a judicial persecution a deadline , this labelling not to use more and their to be transferred to the property rights of the trademark .
over the past few days , you have made many statements that they their political movement would propose that the udf siegelzu take + + , wrote the alliance of the political parties in a letter signed , 19 of the 24 office members , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of centrist alliance .

benefited he on scandalous and fraudulent , by the absence of depositing the acronym udf , in order to carry out this for themselves .

managers - revolution , or at the end of the strategic early information ?
if nothing changes in the governance of the great french companies , our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for more than a decade , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumer before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was on the consumer products from the technicians in the work designed to impose .
by you to customers in the heart of the company has the marketing revolution the strategies of the reconquest of markets in the place given ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of customers to impose regularly again !
demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , which , in particular , the employees affected .
these demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , what is even more crucial to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ) ' of all the parties involved ( ... ) the proactive and a future - oriented vision ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the instructions of the authoritarian management entirely disagree with .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the staff in denmittel point of the concerns expressed by the company equal to the customers .
use the very - related internal opinion polls
will the internal surveys of public opinion , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , this revolution in relation to the management practice suggest ?
unfortunately , i fear not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the entire structure with a new situation in the end after many deviations priority concerned , to do this , ... what it always has done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - proportional to the importance of his own failures is increasing .
and finally , because most have executives a simplistic idea of human behavior .
emerged from the large engineering schools is their mechanistic interpretation psychology .
they take by intellectuals comfort the old behaviori tables theory , the recently from the american " neurosciences ' reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of scientific and research institutes and has been spread by the media .
thus and by you suggested that it is possible , the " leverage " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic management system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
mobilisation of the factors identify and measure
instead , requires a for the smooth functioning of the modern business necessary occupational revolution , the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any idea or practice of managing a fundamental minutes to integrate : for the wage - earners is the commitment for the company only possible if it clearly seems as a means to a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
moment , take only the studies from the multi- functional analysis , this conception of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the you by your perceived picture of the company allowed to assess what it offers them to achieve their life goals .
thanks to the mobilisation of identification and of the measurement of these factors , the leadership of the companies can control their " social - welfare benefits , predict and pre- empt and their human resource management again at the right place .
so they create a fertile ground for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .
oslo the speech : the " fair " war brings obama praise from law a
barack obama 's american rights has , on friday , on the eve in oslo speech welcomes and was satisfied that the nobel peace prize 2009 the notion of ' fair war ' against the enemies of the united states has defended .
conservatives , the distribution of the prize to obama on 9 october mocked had , applauded this time the president - in- office 's speech , the example of the former vice - presidential candidate in the elections of 2008 sarah palin following .
i liked what he said , palin said , the face of the right - wing of the republican party in the newspaper us today and added that they sometimes even the subject of a " necessary " war in their has just been published memoirs have raised .
the war is , of course , the last , of which i think that the americans want to do it , but it is necessary .
we must stop the terrorists down there , it says .
obama , the two wars has inherited from its predecessors , george w. bush , the iraq and wars in afghanistan , on thursday in oslo has endeavoured to justify the use of violence ; a way , to explain his entscheidungvon nine days ago , 30 000 additional to send troops to afghanistan .
newt gingrich , a other opponents of obama , was of the opinion , the präsdent have done a very good job in oslo ' ' .
i was really very well that the speech was , frohlockte the former president of the house of representatives , in particular the reference to ' the existence of the evil in the world ' in obama 's words recognised .
in some parts habeich this speech and completely perceived as historic , declared gin rich , the in the radio programme was questioned about " the take away ' .
the previous members , by some as a potential candidate for the republican nomination to the 2012 presidential election will be seen , said he was pleased to have seen a ' president of the left ' , reminded of the members of the nobel committee that they were not free " and a price for the peace could not send if the use of violence would not exist ' .
to michael gerson , former recorder from george w. bush , and now editor in the washington post , obama has " a very american " speech .
in addition to the fact that he presents itself as the ' kosmopolit ' , such as ' he always power , " he ' as an american president has spoken , " when he pointed out that the europeans ' as live in a security bubble , which they have not created themselves and for their protection not do a lot , " so gerson .
among the few , not staunch called rights of the former un ambassador john bolton , a hawk the bush - era , the speech at the site of the national review online as " boring , highfalutin and inspiration happening " .
on the left of the president shows the democratic representative dennis kucinich worried , as barack obama defended the recourse to the armed forces .
packaged it the war under the guise of justice , the massacre of the innocent quite simply justify he warns that .
extols the press the center - left , however , remains on the side of the president .
the los angeles times , which is still believe that the nobel peace prize was premature awarded to obama , referred to the speech itself for a speaker like him , known for his talent is , as ' monumental work ' .
the speech in oslo ' provides a timetable plan to the management of international decisions against the conflicts , poverty and the repression ' , so the california newspaper enthusiastic .
the new york times is of the opinion that obama " the necessary discourse proclaimed " and called his speech as " bleak and exemplary at the same time ' .

the conflict ' could have been very much damage to the companies ' and ' it was to be feared that he would affect the festive season at the end of the year ' , so bussereau .
the agreement provides for a wage increase of 4 % for the lowest wages ( local and regional road transport ) and by 2.9 % for the highest - paid groups ( international transport ) .
sentence the hours for workers with the lowest wages is rising of 8,72 to eur 9,06 .
" it is not particularly much , but we are all to small first ' , so starting patrice clos ( fo ) .
instructed the activists are now , the supply depots no longer to block .
" but it is likely to always be some recalcitrant , which are not satisfied with the agreement , " he supplemented .
chairman of the tlf - philippe grillot spoke of a " good agreement ' , even though it was ' difficult , these salary increases allow in the face of international competition " .
according to him , is the increase in eur 170 per month for the low and eur 100 and 120 for the high wage groups .
' this agreement is based on the common sense and respect for the employees ' , so maxim dumont ( cfdt ) , while thierry douine ( cftc ) spoke of ' an historic agreement ' .
richard jaubert ( cgt ) spoke on this ' an acceptable compromise ' .
the agreement is also an increase in the travel costs to 3 % , and the upholding of the overall budget for the road transport in the first half of the year 2010 , which will enable it , in particular , the subject and the 13 month 's salary modernisation of collective agreements to tackle .

the government is calling for ' an identical ' vote by the senate .
the signature of the first tlf allows that the agreement applies to the companies associated with this organisation , and that they then in the event of an extension of the union by the labour minister for the whole profession applies .
this will be the case ' in the shortest possible time ' , assured bussereau .
the opposition of the employers ' associations can only delay the procedure .
the association fntr published a " fraudulent trading ' , because , according to the 100 million euro ' were the sector to offset part of the carbon tax has already been promised ' .
secretary of state for transport forced us to negotiate , as soon as possible , but not on the basis of a common analysis , but to the goose - mouth to feed to the approaching christmas days not to disgruntling , laments the unostra .
for the association otre threatens the agreement ' the small and medium- sized enterprises in this sector of industry in the next 12 months to dig a large tomb ' .

the name ' tawa ' comes from the hopi sun god - indians .
nesbitt for sterling it is an exceptional fund : ' dinosaurs fossils - from the day we are extremely rare , is usually only individual fragments . '
other dinosaurs - not necessarily experts share the enthusiasm .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the early history of the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , from the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation this ur - dinos is most controversial .
so , for example , the experts debating when the echsen in their three main lines of development aufspalteten : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus committee , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ensure ' " long with vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( bird basin saurier ) , which , for example the species triceratops and stegosaurus belonged .
nesbitt and after the analysis of his colleagues is tawa hallae an original theropode .
he is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties on , nesbitt says .
at the skull from tawa hallae took the researchers , for example references to luftsäcke , as you also have the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is the breathing of birds more effective than the mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column apparently partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and greatest theropode with air bags , randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of huge sauropoden later also luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups brought this useful innovation .
at least three migration waves after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in latin america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
separated so early , the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents from , which were still a super - continent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
can the three not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says alan turner by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older type , silesaurus , which forms part of a sister group the dinosaurs , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin says sander today .
its opinion could be a distorted picture , because in latin america simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while in other continents hardly is something to be found .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of reptiles stock dominant country vertebrate animals of the earth middle ages to develop , is still puzzling .
during the day the dinosaurs divided their area still living with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with many other echsen .
towards the end of the day the dinosaurs spread around the world and developed many new species , while the kinship on the border of the day the jura ausstarb .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses in order to explain this change , says martin sander .
it could have given to die a mass , the dinosaurs happen to be survived , but the other reptiles not .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they could beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
150 million years later gave a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which are also already in the triassic entwickeltet had and since then a shadow general fristete : the mammals .
solidarity from vienna to são paulo
the list is long and the signatories are internationally .
toronto university professors are point , the university of cambridge , the standardisation vienna or from berkeley in california .

new silicon - valley
long years it was considered secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
selenograd , one of the capital ten districts moscow , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community with their 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as " russian silicon valley ' .
significant research and production centres for micro - and nanoelectronics are here .
already since september 2008 , representatives had selenograds contacts to frankfurt science location riedberg linked - with the uni institutes and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .
there have been several mutual visits and on wednesday now signed selenograd and riedberg in frankfurt a " protocol on closer cooperation ' .

2010 will be representatives of the fiz and small and medium- sized enterprises in the natural scientific foschung focus for a seminar after selenograd travel .
scientific exchange
it is a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms of fiz will be possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
conversely , want to russian science firms contracts in germany acquire .
selenograd is the seat major russian research institutes and businesses .
for example , these include the moscow institute for electron technology , the big companies sitronics and rosssijskaja elektronika .
in 1958 , the community was a so-called " socialist plan city ' has been created for the defence research .
selenograd ( translates literally ' green city ' ) received his name from the forested hill landscape , in the research institutions are embedded .
stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 is not set high enough .
for the supporters of the project it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the deeper lay a station , more than a monströses construction project , the city of baden - württemberg country capital for a decade will be in disarray works chaos .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
capita stations with tracks , end up in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the transport of the 19th century and which technical fossils as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed , locomotives from behind forward umzuspannen .
raking in , very briefly , go - go so should ´ s .
and that is why the head should stations disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a station , for the sake of such as of passage route of the trans - european rail magistrale between paris / bratislava and budapest is - and this is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will now actually tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , no longer are compatible with reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that it is almost unaffordable in the hessischen and the bavarian city , the deeper implement .
capita stations do , however , also have no longer a and exit problem , since modern turning train drivers operating locomotives and trains tax dare at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - new route after ulm section now will not addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
power with the railways , also because the risks of the individual biggest infrastructure project of the republic of the taxpayers and not the state corporation contributes .
cities terms , the projects can be reasonably justify .
there is new city areas , which - believes we tables illustrating the planners generated the computer - will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
development are the gateway station and the lines intended for the movement of persons , which we - typical 1980s - huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy but it must first of all , therefore , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport by rail is very much more environment - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the new route because intense climbs does not work for freight trains .
much still remains serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail projects .
good eur six billion in schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
observation is , in the next decade will the money to other hubs and closely in the network lack .
as a whole sixty larger projects are on the list of the ministry of transport .
one of the most important is the extension of the good 180 kilometres long route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 will attend the route in the slow built .
were a matter of urgency , be reduced to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
bottles of the rhine valley route will the neck for the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
government has in the country wiesbadener provincial left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessischen administrative court of justice ( vgh ) to the ban on night flights in revision will go .
the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition experts have entrusted to the more than 400 pages vgh judgment legally examine , economy minister said , dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh in kassel had on this next justified in writing that the country in the case of the construction of the north - west planned runway at frankfurt airport new rules to the ban on night flights .
the authorisation of 17 flights between 23 and 5 p.m. , as stipulated in the country government , is not with the legal protection of the population against noise at night offered to reconcile .
the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it goes against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this desire for delays and the representatives of the government , for a revision in the federal administrative court in leipzig to renounce .
spd group chairman torsten schäfer - gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp to come back to their before the election promise made to return to a ban on night flights . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is hellishly difficult , if we must keep his word , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in an allusion to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan " we believe that word ' .
minister posch rejected the accusation by schäfer - gümbel , the country government attempts , with ' legal verdreherei and sleight of hand " but still to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need your time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legal , safe entscheiung said stefan müller ( fdp ) .
so , as they constitute the opposition , would be the statements of his group , on the ban on night flights never have been .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board the president - in- office of the editor of santa claus brender from the office had urged , the station can present a successor .
wanted yesterday evening the body on the personalie vote .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf - capital studios in berlin .
there was a confirmation from the sender , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - controller markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should also do not get through to the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine out of 14 body members .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
two weeks ago , was schächter with his proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed to extend for a further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members spoke for brender from , seven voted against him . brenders dismissal was a heavy defeat for schächter , a erwartbare however .
majority in the management board because the union had already signalled weeks before the election , brender not want to confirm in office .
had the organised resistance against the editor of the hessische prime minister roland koch .
with the argument , under brender , zdf news broadcasts would have to ratings lost , it rejected a further term of the highly respected journalist chief .
until shortly before the elections , it therefore protests , in which the political influence on the zdf was castigated .
least had even 35 state rights interfered in the debate , such as chefs those deemed unconstitutional 's action .
nothing came of it .
on the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , education and romanistik .
then he worked in the south - west radio and the frankfurter rundschau .
frey switched on zdf in 1983 , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal advisor of the chief journalist ; in 1991 / 92 correspondent in washington ; until 1998 head and moderator of the ' tomorrow magazine ' ; until 2001 head the zdf foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf - capital studios .
dismiss the greens , after the announced brenders , on wednesday , nor by the industries leaf medium magazine the journalists of the year was elected , a complaint of unconstitutionality lodged .
koch 's adversary in the management board , the rhineland pfälzische prime minister kurt beck declared , in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that staff proposals of the controller cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
an extract of party leaders from the supervisory bodies of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir - apparent peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move , by the body immediately after the brender - verts / ale group strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence could it both schächter without loss of face for the post of chief journalist nominate as well as the management board choose , without come in the suspicion , a partisan do more to try to coax into office .
arithmetic will in the party frey already imputed to the liberal left - wing .
study will entrümpelt
part success for the students : after a year , the culture ministers of the countries of the education strike on thursday at last a : at a meeting of culture ministers - and university rectors ' conference , both sides agreed to the study to attempt to improve conditions in bachelor and master .
the students should be in the situation in the future , their studies also able to deal with .
they agreed to in detail , the verification to reduce burdens : each is intended in principle to study module only conclude with a single audit .
also to review the workload of the students will be guaranteed ' and ' a realistic and reasonable level .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit services between the universities within and outside germany simplify .
the countries committed themselves to targets for undergraduate and masters courses , common structure more flexible .
deviating countries rules in addition , it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the students protests in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
council decided the so-called accreditation , drastically to reduce the number of audits in part : ' every module closing in the rule with only a test , " it is said in a 30 - page document , the authorisation of study courses in part , newly is intended to regulate .
with the ' burden significantly reduce the test , " the accreditation council declared - chairman reinhold grimm 's fairy tale , should be a stop to ' drift , which significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
should also be the ' studierbarkeit ' in future be ' in shaping the decisive criterion ' .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' whether ' unnecessary einengungen the students in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive margins , the own - initiative allow and promote ' .
should apply the rules with regard to the approval of new , but also on the review of existing programmes .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – which means that it takes until 2015 before all courses have been reviewed .
responsibility for are national ten accreditation agencies , under the accreditation council established by the countries .
the culture ministers have had the countries in october ' with ' urges strongly to influence the agencies , so that the material abundance of not too big and the testing regime is not too strictly .
universities and colleges in individual länder , with the country ministries already agreed on the appropriate measures .
than hitherto single country said in rhineland - palatinate for the further development of the bologna process additional resources .
of the money is to establish the universities especially tutoren programmes and inspection and offices abroad to study guidance and strengthen .
country and spend universities want to make eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the academic law to the parliament .
after this for the conclusion of a study should be a single audit model only still needed .
shaping the study will be more flexible , also seeks to the recognition of performance prove to be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master other universities .
by the end of next year courses of the country on their studierbarkeit everything should be checked .
government and opposition , on thursday had once again on the study conditions in the country argued .
alongside praise , but it also criticise the decisions .
the federal bureau of the juso - higher groups called for , the shaping of education policy should in future no longer ' behind closed doors ' the minister and university rectors take place .
at the latest , after the education strikes should now also the students ' affected have a say ' .
received support the future academics by the president of the university rectors ' conference ( hrk ) , margret winter umbrella : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday at a meeting with the culture ministers , with which the hrk on a common reform paper was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( forces ) the bonn process as a whole does not go far enough : it urges a legal entitlement , every graduates with an undergraduate degree the access to a further masters course allows .
on the other hand , the countries must ensure that for the current generation of undergraduate students tomorrow sufficient masters study places with the best possible study conditions available as forces board member andreas cellar .
countries must be clear the opportunity to recruit more lecturers .
to a freer access to the masters , but not the culture ministers .
more than a footnote to herta müller
respond in germany and from is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the first line of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this in troubling language scrap the arrival of the experience of dissidents , the freedom has won , but also lost its language area .
born of the 1951 in the romanian banat werner söllner had first as a german and english - teachers in bucharest and later than editor worked in a kinderbuch publishing , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner has been awarded with various literature prices , 1993 it was the legendary frankfurter poetik lectures at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessischen literature forum in mousonturm in frankfurt .
considerable except literary of publicity , he last tuesday during a meeting in munich , when it comes to ' german literature in romania in the mirror and distorting mirror their securitate acts ' .
confused and embarrassed söllner read out a clear statement , in which he before romania german writer colleagues , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth women dorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian secret service securitate admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner 1989 the german language price received .
recruitment of trials have gradually begun , first 1971 .
so i am , söllner closed , ' someone who has campaigned against the securitate intimidation attempts not enough . "
werner söllner is in the lyricist walter .
almost at the same time , by honouring the nobel peace prize for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary dispute with the mechanisms dictatorial rule is the literature scene and in particular the community of german originating from romania authors shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and identify the despicable of a political system , which is based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , so far we after bisherigem knowledge can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
acts of in its securitate have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literature scientists michael markel and referred to the positive influence of the walter for him .
he had it in all at the time for him , " markel swindled out sensitive points ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners declaration was in the form and above this audience unexpectedly , completely surprising is the commitment of a former dissident and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informer , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
those who are affected , so we must be suspect , speculation and probably also in some case have known , what is behind the clear name aliases sorin , voicu and also walter lay .
unlike in the here now very procedure safe screening in the stasi - acts is dealing with the legacy of the securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
thwarted a systematic information is in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the birthler - authority appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate - acts ( cnsas ) was established until 1999 , the launch of acts since then , however , has been rather slow .
only since 2005 , there is a law governing the management of acts .
that former influence securitate - members in romania is still very large , documented after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller an interview , in which a former head of securitate - from temesvar dismissive about the prize winner .
they have a psychosis , finally , they have only once interrogated .
the scandal of power said is quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here to express can .
certainly söllner include the case , as so often in connection with reticent blamed , unavoidable issues .
why only now ? who was harmed ? the measured response to listening to the söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge drive rather than guilt and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

the joy over the fulminanten commencement of the babbel , successor remained so behaviour .
not only with the alleged saviour , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and had game pleasure gives .
i am on the players received and have told you that they are going to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , declared soul plumber gross so simply sounding recipe for success , the under therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .

the vfb stuttgart is not yet on the mountain warns that sport board horst heldt
stuttgart needs but , above all the vfb constancy .
as gross its proponents were because also players and managers before , the victory against a replacement weakened and completely swamped defence of the romanian guests overstated .
they have also won in glasgow , before four days later in leverkusen the 0:4 evil awakening came , was khedira to concerns .
horst and sport board heldt warned that is a season objective been achieved , but the other there is still a long way off .
we are not yet out of the mountain .

world cup fight in emphasis
hitziges match in bern : continually provoked challengers kevin johnson world champion of vitaly klitschko with words and gestures .
but after twelve hard rounds defended of ukrainians his difficult weight title , after version of the wbc .
the judgment by the judges in point was unanimously from .
hamburg vitaly klitschko remains box - world champion in emphasis .

of the eleven centimetre smaller johnson , in the match the end of the klitschko - era had announced previously , but always turned away from the world 's estimates , so that klitschko its dangerous rights not crucial could bring a target .
fact , the overall passive johnson too little for a challenger and sought only on the round .
although he provoked klitschko with words and gestures , his blows met the world champion but only rarely .
he is , after all , only the second boxer after timo hoffman in the year 2000 , the with klitschko has gone on the full distance from twelve rounds .

dream worlds
some people see in wachem state images and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drugs binge blurring the borders between fantasy and reality .
as long as it happens in their sleep , everything is ok .
if we in our dark with our eyes closed rooms are , we must give us the unchecked wildest entities out ideas and imagination .
however , those who , in the wachsein dream - like conditions experienced , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , applies in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in narcotic drugs .
blame our imagination : the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes to write to paint or images novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , delusion and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
dream exponentially modified awake awareness conditions in many different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions , in the worst case madness .
even if the trigger and effect may differ , the visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drugs experiences of the new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückung conditions , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise if the balance of neural chemical lobes - above all dopamin , serotonin and noradrenaline , acetylcholin - off the rails and the interaction of various brain parts is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
more about him has no power , the difficult
the context of delusion and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , noted 1861 a " great similarity of the mistaken one with dream conditions ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , deceit of such a " sense .
it is autumn 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comic strip figure .
his body is two dimensions and quietschbunt .
more about him has no power , the difficult , it hangs in the room ceiling .
enters it senses a .
behind him produce vicious make with blood red , distorted fratzen , teeth fletschend .
they hunting him , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw him against the walls that he feels the pain in the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer tolerate them , the votes , the abuse at him and insulting .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet it to a noose and brace of a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loud speaker and the noose around the neck recede .
jumps .
resolves the noose .
scream that you should be a lesson , the vote in trommelfell zerfetzendem choir , ' go in the hospital , and let you cure ! '
today is henning t. 40 years old , it has six acute psychoses experienced , is the last two years back , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizo affective - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , since it is three years married .
in the psychosis , i have seen worst fear and deepest despair he says .
bore the images are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia ; at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second most common illness after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected more often than not distinguish more between domestic and foreign world , they get trapped in a state of on heated to hallucinations , sizes - relationships or persecution mania can lead to .
hear is the vote - particularly widespread vote , the orders , comment on or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
can the affected important can no longer be separated from trivial , the brain disturbing signals not more cost of purging , the system awareness is being inundated with impressions .
as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper awareness classes bracket .
reality perception in the psychosis is entity centers , says professor thomas fox , oberarzt the clinic for general psychiatry in university klinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic finds itself in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance to him .
at the same time , it goes in a passive role , it will , in a similar dream , of the events overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
matching is a reality you usually not possible , its fallacy images are ongoing , cruel reality , wake up excluded .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory
unlike in the dream , but fox says , " remains the sensory and geographical structure of reality , which is perceived in the psychosis , received principle ' .
the obsession thoughts and hallucinations based in reality , the verfremdung of erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries proposes , researchers are still mystery .
exception in each people conditions can lead that he loses the relation to reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but twin studies have shown that the genes are not the determinants alone .
researchers assume that in affected minimal brain damage available .
we suspect that the brain maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will not be disrupted , by a viral infection of mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , as the disruption of the neural system is reached , is also the first is not manifestiere for many years .
environmental influences also play a role - stress or traumatic experiences can trigger for a psychosis be , if there is the line .
halluzinogene drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmitter system .
if our brains is overheating
is the stupidity , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to obtain what , says the lübecker psychology professor erich caste .
whether contributed images are seen as a pleasant or unpleasant , is often only a question of the position .
caste collects for ten years ago , reports on hallucinations and fallacy phenomena , last year he has its results , in the book , ' the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations are among the typical side - effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other illnesses .
these include mental disorders , such as borderline or depression often also , diseases such as migraines , too , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and skull brain traumas .
surprisingly , hallucinations under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so caste , from memory content , which normally be held back .
they are , if areas , in which will be processed sensory , überaktiv are blocked or too little ; if our is lacking in brain is overheating , or also , if stimulation .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or psychosis .
barrenness , but also withdrawal , stress , love distress or other mental exception conditions .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinatory .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - west pomerania and visited secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there were not the pictures and the vote .
in the break it can happen that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair it addresses .
if it responds to the peers look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
you believe that the timid girls for a versponnene day träumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
awake , you can see and hear it is these young , just as they alongside them can see and hear the girls in the bank .
they can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
am i crazy ? , , you sometimes wonder .
but you know that this young and the other contributed images is not are real and disappear again .
night , the phenomena are often frightening
contributed images are often also a burden .
if you in the area of the class , it can the teaching material is sometimes not consequences , because of teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new peers , while for all other hearing - and visible on the table mathematical equations explained .
night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you in their dark waiting room on sleep , which is , of course , far too rarely and come too late , it can often differ not , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the pictures you will see , the fratzen adversely affected or the girls with the average wounds of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
parents and friends told nothing can prevent them , which would they consider to be crazy .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
last year it has the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
before a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you on the internet contact with the psychologists caste has included , they know that it is not mad .
mania is also a work of art despair
if someone is socially isolated or under beauty withdrawal , however , has it in all probability , after a while hallucinations , says caste .
i suspect , then the brain is under - employed and , even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , an individual child , as a little girl had fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , when you began with 13 learned that the man that they can calls , since you thinking daddy , is not your leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same brain areas are also actively real impressions and noise process , it is affected as sarah k. difficulty distinguishing contributed images and reality . ' every experience , " castes , says ' will take place in the brain , the reality , there is .
hallucinations are also images which brain gives rise , therefore , they have so real . "
nighttime dream images also sees caste as a form of hallucinatory .
hallucinations of the healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
unlike schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their contributed pictures as unreal .
caste advises his patients ' therefore , the hallucinations also as a special value ability .
border state between dream and hallucinatory
centred on too much awareness in our world will imaginary unfortunately witnessing mostly pathologizing , says mr schmidt - rapier hard , the clinic of psychiatry professor in heidelberg and chief doctor and psychotherapy of florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious illness painful , but it also involves positive , creative - mania is also a work of art out of desperation .
dorte schmidt - rapier hard , the so-called oneiroide experience researched , has a special form of dream exponentially modified awake awareness .
oneiroide are highly complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the erlebende for real and which he is also in retrospect cannot distinguish from the state of the awake .
state of oneiroide awareness is emerging in trauma or illness extreme situations , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person in itself , and world is threatened loss , for example by continuing complete impotence , it replaces the life threatening by its own imagined world , the real situation is decoupled away from reality , schmidt says - rapier hard .
a kind of border state between dream and hallucinatory .
since the deal with a situation in reality is not possible , a world exchange is taking place , but the real situation will be made in the imagination bearing in mind .
an intensive form the foundation and a sense of meaning in a intolerable situation , the us human beings shape , not enables own submerged in nothing of loss of awareness .
everything is real , also later in the memory
also the züricher art historian peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul " heart change as a " bailout .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a heart valves operation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to immobile .
claussen a appeared in a world made itself , visited foreign times and places : it was seen as bettlägerigen , old man , boarded a zugsanatoriums , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the drugs manufactured from blood .
will of a greeks kidnapped in a motorcycle whose own country , browses with his hospital bed in firn snow of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
he is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in the memory .
these internal travel for claussen , is radically different from any dream .
dream is another state , be he describes .
quite the contrary , i am the memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details about clear .
clearer and more intensive even than really what happened .
goes beyond the intensity of this erlebens the horizon of our other life secular experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - rapier hard .
ultimately show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drugs binge , how fragile our internally copies of external reality also ensure , are .
any change of awareness status , sums the psychologist castes , " can lead to an verformung of , what we call reality . '
an experience which , may even be enriching .

mazda would like to prove that athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the model mazda3 the automatic stop christened and anfahr system of motors , on the behalf i - stop , introduced , a device , but the moment only for the 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands by your good marks the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , the comfort , be straβenv received , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front seat we can see that the front seats , a excellent ergonomics and offer good cohesion .
playing a game of lenkrads is also excellent .
in further view of the unity , the instruments from the table and the armaturenbrett is , we can see that mazda with a variety of knöpfen and switchgear in the spectacular colors red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic home design , .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
therefore can easily be said that both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , both japanese models , by the coldness of german cars , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese compact car offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able in the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the ban and anfahr system is up to now only for the litre of petrol - 2 engine with 150 ps and a 6 - motion interconnection available .
engine of this is a real benefit . he stands by its points , by its quiet noise , its benefits , and by its low consumption .
and all those who are not many kilometres a year , , these should drive i - stop with petrol engines because of its groβen comfort in the motion interconnection and its low consumption , even if for mazda especially the diesel models are mostly sold to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment that is for the test the so-called model selected sportive a specificity , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the series of resources .
from the series been stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspur exchange ( rvm ) , so that the blind spot abolished , but also the operators elements for the system of traction and stability , the speed trains , light - sensitive internal levels and on- board computers with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and light - sensors , bluetooth and audio - bluetooth , as well as the verchromten 17 - customs - wheels .

auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year , also the i - stop version buy , the only with a 2.0 petrol engines with 150 ps is available .
be the only negative aspect of this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the test wariness model sportive lies .
than return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us , every day new highest driving passport .
a first with a great deal of ' glamour '
l. example is the red tepppich the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
attending the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy , more than ever . ( photographs : gtre online ) .
elegantly our ' pe ' , as always , opted for a dark " lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is äuβerst limited , a device which can only be read his e- mails , without a possibility , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
enjoyed it has its five minutes fame , when it the magazine time to chose one of the products of the year .
it on the straβe to see , is unlikely , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
contrary to the smart phones costs very little peek and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the price of a flat rate of iphone .
after the success of the companies in mind , it has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a life free service for data , unlike the peek , in which you pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same limits , as his american counterpart , however , there is a surprise one .
maintenance of the monthly price for the telephone , around eur 12 in the month , includes roaming for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , already know what it means , to forego all the data must , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as we the country has cross , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or of a link possibility with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat - rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific offer contracts and prices for stays abroad , but in my experience , it needs already a doctorate in physics and a good spectacles , in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in terms of affordable roaming tariffs for the whole of europe remained almost always ignored .
auβerhalb of their own country has always be afraid to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small machine as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the name fon , although it has no wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers , slowly but surely rethink and must start to find different ways to take into account , as you can use their data network .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
it is capable of an internet equipment and one is paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and this is exactly what i also expect fonpeek one day , a purchasing possibility of life for a long time internet access as it is the peek already offered in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the phone read .
but i expect this , because i believe that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , however , is with the same time a computer system able to see .
the fetish colour of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the favourite colour of the american first lady .
already at the inauguration of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and a mantle of the colour and has the same colour re- elected , in order to him in his , without doubt , the second most important moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was nearly the same colour - a shining green yellow - , there was a clothing from three parts - dress , jacket and coat - the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes are very different in the stoffart manufactured , from which they are .
at the inauguration it has a dress from top and in oslo one from gemusterten office .
accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with half high paragraphs and the second time a änhliches model , but gold colours .
also the hair was different : each time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers , because of their maternity problems are given in the work
discrimination in the work has increased over recent years , especially in the younger women , which want to have children .
to achieve this result is the of csic study carried out in cooperation with the european institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career opportunities in the labour market due to their maternity restricted .
open the study , that it very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of professional exercise them .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house not carry out other activities , only part-time work or have no permanent employment contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast , the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a figure which is to 4.1 years for women with an increased employment , the taken longer to have to achieve this and draw together the her and the first child until much later have achieved .
auβerdem has also the type of work a groβen influence on motherhood , albeit less than the calendar with regard to the moment of conception willingness , " says the csic - researcher margarita delgado .
the level of education is another factor , the age of women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey is the age the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education and training .
this difference could also be found in the same age of women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years , according to whether they only have the main school or a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
also , there is , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with main final conclusion before their first permanent employment marry and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or large school exactly the other way around and seek out only a permanent employment and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of walking fuenlabrada than suddenly a group of young people between 15 and 18 years alongside their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the animal sanctuary and the just six kilos is more , and then thunderstruck to missed they him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
our indignation it is not in words , since it is us incomprehensible where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
added to that is the suffocation megalomaniacs , the weather was walking a woman who received , than they these people because of the incident reprimanding wanted to , they even feared for their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also the same perhaps with a woman , a child , an older mr or probably even with every make that the weaker than he himself is .
normally the incident occurred in a calm city quarter at five p.m. on an ordinary tuesday .
has the dog the whole day geheult .
of course , we have in a close situated police service , but that we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we will not be able to understand what must be in the minds of these young people that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animal fun , of an animal that gives us the love , society and friendship .
do we know where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of small lorries rising again something to
begins , after almost two years the car market for small transporters finally see some light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , the in november in spain were allowed , mean a 12.6 % increase in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is far more important still is , they are so that the first increase at all after 22 consecutive months with constant decline , gemäβ the association of anfac and the car dealers by manufacturers association ganvam presented figures .
however , this good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , as the reference data used for comparison of november 2008 , which are a particularly bad verkau year with a reduction of around 60 % in respect of the previous year was .
however , we must bear in mind that , apart from the increase in the last month , the overall authorisations this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales figures of the previous rules year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , but all vehicles , from which the vans market is , include : descendants of passenger cars to pick - ups , easier small vans , small vans and lorries / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds which demand , because most affect even if some of the vehicles be bought by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in nearly 100 % of all cases , the purchase by a third funding working .
so we must these restrictions , what the result of the authorised turned flow of credit institutions , are further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the unemployment rate or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this scenario , and , in contrast to the passenger cars have the financial support for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
however , this plan is not only determines for private persons , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a small vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales figures speak for themselves .
just yesterday had ganvam again remind you that it is part of the state necessary , is also a special emphasis on these small lorries , as well as , of course , for the industry vehicles ( lorries and buses ) .
prophesied the car dealers association for the year 2010 a similar year such as the just last , for which there with a sales ( of default in passenger cars and offroad vehicles ) by 19 % .
the support in brake exercises in critical situations is now duty
as was already in the anti- lock braking bremssystem ( and as it now happening with the esp stability control , the aid systems must become the brakes in emergencies a duty equipment in the european cars will be .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light small trucks , for the remaining vehicles a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
adopted by the european union the maβnahme has the objective , to improve the protection of fuβgänger , however , these braking systems because of their working , so that it will also help to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of emergency braking systems is , more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical brake on the basis of the system maneuver , carried out by the drivers brake strength on the brake recognises to exercise .
however , is not until the end this pressure from this system .
according to a commissioned by the component manufacturers for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the toss together even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the brake assistance against attacks with maximum force in the braking system a and reduced by the brake time and thus also the braking distance , a car when brake process back .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , where fuβgänger harm to come , be avoided , if all cars are equipped with this type of emergency braking systems .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with regard to personal damage be prevented could - as soon as the so-called intelligent emergency braking systems be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system that ( on radar or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a slight pressure on the brakes .
if the driver subsequently responded , helps him the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the toss already is unavoidable , together , the brake assistants the maximum pressure on the brakes from , in this way , to keep the damage as low as possible .
general motors postpones the plan for opel until january
while the workforce of opel plant at figueruelas ( zaragoza ) already by nick reilly , the new chairman of general motors ( gm ) europe , have been informed that the production of meriva new at will start in the first week of april , probably on 8 , according to javier ortega , the american car manufacturers of pointing out that he needs more time in order to bring the rescue plan for opel to a conclusion .
nick reilly , the new chairman , by gm europe wants to achieve , namely the fact that the affected side their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this very reason , it may be that the final document , the first workers and then the governments of the countries in which it works are , to be presented until will postpone in early 2010 .
dementgegen will from gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
because it is not surprising that the swedish government the pressure on the american car has increased , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
gm are , to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
one of these buyers could be geely , which would also like to buy up volvo , however , the option of dutch manufacturer of skyper - sports , by the group of the russian converg backing has , attracting an ever - stronger .
if it none of these buyers should come to an agreement , could gm some assets to the chinese baic sell .

at the helm of the porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s but really , as a basis and managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , and he now brings only 1.275 kilos of balance .
abandoning in order to create something you firstly on the automatic aufklappbare ceiling , which has been replaced by a tent manuellem powered screen umbrella , so that we alone has saved ; thanks to the 21 kilograms in this model used aluminium doors such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning once again 13 ; auβerdem the tank of 64 to 54 litres of fuel has been reduced , so that have been further 7 kilos ; saved by the fitting of sporting bacquet - are still time , 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
then it was also still by the relinquishment of the audio - system - 30 cdr was once again six kilos less and through the exchange of türgriffe handles from substance which lack kilo achieved .
although it also with the gear box double clutch wheels pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional hand wheels , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to mountain routes , the really very kurvig were .
during his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
reducing its weight has led but by no means that he now no longer so sure would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since long we have already no longer such a small and light model test dangers , the a but also a feeling of groβer security in the curves , even at high speed , are .
able to do this , it is a small athlete , flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we to give him the orders lawn to curb to recover and then again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything what he says . the car power everything , what we him with our hands at the wheel indicate that , thanks to its steering , which is as communicative as also precise .
and it is doing so with the accuracy of surgeons .
engine of a sound for all tastes
the sound his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very good and it is possible to increase him with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that the engine noise can change , which already the panamera used for the first time .
brutally the speeding up assets is inconceivable , whether from the stand or when re- speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
on the asphalt alter the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , was already quite damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route virtually nothing to do ; and , despite the fact that we in some of these curves ice in the morning and rollsplitt took this morning .
summing up , we can say that it is an ultra - easy car , a car , with whom you have an indescribable driving passport has , as it otherwise rather rarely are and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

pays the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 during his visit on the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group after the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 in the assessment ) .
could the team from vitoria the significant loss of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace team work , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great hit with 16 from the perimeter valued triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory in .
the game began with the leadership of the blue red , right from the start at the top table , on the advertisements .
since the first four baskets the team from vitoria already from the perimeter came , we have already seen guess that you on the playing field with well reheated hand gelenken were .
there were english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 at the end of the first quarter were responsible .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava that opted for a way game of barac of the interior and for the game of judge eliyahu , which , with its return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , in order to break expanding their advantage further ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic already began as the best of his team with 13 points highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the cluster can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , despite the clear advantage in the break the game was not yet been decided and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer once again remind you that on their playing field not win , and thanks to the repeated attacks ' hand of elías ' they came back into the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
still more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , had to a few gambits with soundness prepare , in order to get air again and in one of them was suddenly the gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that advertisements on the table again a more reassuring gap by ( 54 - 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - 67 ) beautify could .
were the alavesen in the last quarter bloβ and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , you the victory that they are in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless , resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although cluster because fouls being made by the place , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended good and even though the israelis are still in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had a victors and tel aviv lost for the first time in this season .

the team from malaga had neither fear the mood in the hall of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to your offer game in first quarter andalusians were allowed to start to dream . a aggresive defence and three successive three times , two by omar cook and one by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 in the 9 minute .
olympia cos was by the intensity of the ereins uni caja surprised , even if the indigenous team with an internal game between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the displays table in the 13 minute 22 anzeigte - 20 in their favor , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and which is why both disqualified have been .
the greek team started , warm weather at last to be and its superiority in two halves of the game , while the departure of the englishman joel free country as a result of a violation of and the three itself caused error by carlos jiménez significant traces in the standardisation caja behind lieβen .
under their players in the field of interior and the lithuanian before players linas kleizas , with its triple , they increased its advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .

many thanks !
after the most tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets the prevailing sentiment was on the markets , on the markets is returned the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , because this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker decisions on an inherently uncertain future meeting .
it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , the debt to pay with the direct purchasing of assets and indirectly the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero , so that in this way the banks assets to buy totting up .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direct purchases of assets are as good as closed , and without their heterodox policy to the liquidity to call into question , start to spread , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already having eighth with its annual auction , which will take place next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premiums .
the flüchtigkeiten the stock markets and the differences in the companies bonuses rise again , even if they are still far removed from the paramilitary normal amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize private risks and the state debt to rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged shelter of the investors , resulting in an increase of the differences in respect of germany leads the countries of the euro area .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
damages on the other hand a degree of uncertainty is not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , once again had tried , in the responsible an awareness of the world economic policy , for what they had caused , to produce , since they the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credit led to the loss of jobs have slowed down , as they had a new day for the thanks to action beschlieβen should .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , there is a tribal war between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
conceals a government , which the public debt , elections , and a new government , which at the same thing .
prodi made it in italy after berlusconi and sócrates in portugal after durão barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year save from the non- fulfilment of its foreign payments and thus a euro - member country is allowed , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens to the need for auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , as expected , we are facing a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to large sums of money , and this would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences the state of debt with the same speed as the european companies bonuses increase .
reduce should , however , the european differences and the spanish , to continue to increase dannn would it is a special spanish risk action .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the local early indicators a groβteil obliges the market research institutes , their scenarios for the recovery preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not long life span .
once again , it seems quite that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment ' caution when drive ' is needed .
related industries
the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the european parliament 's subcommittee on , where in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his appearance to the chairman of gas natural - fenosa , rafael villaseca followed , was galán some of the key points of the press about what he had made the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not on the investment needed 60 billion , but until 95 billion .
iberdrola of the opinion that there is , however , no longer into an increase in the energy production capacity should invest , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and coal works of co2 capture with establishments and particularly , of course , on renewable energies .
in this case he assumes that 18,000 mw more are needed , under the pretext of course , by other ' support energy ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economic , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in any case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national coal consumption to create what , exactly the opposite of all political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion ' , long term , we clearly in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investment , even if these are long term , should make , since it will need some time and a stable remuneration framework must be created , in order to tackle them .

barça again earned with his victory in the european supercup in august 2.5 million .
however , this still the payments , for the variables 337,8 million are earmarked .
this money is proportional to the value of every individual television market awarded .
has the spanish is in the first and 4 allocated to jobs .

this as a fourth us president he receives , but only when the third , receiving directly to the price in office .
the white house already make that obama will be speaking in the adoption of the price on the war in afghanistan .
the president does not want to avoid this issue , because he knows that it takes on the price as a president , will lead to the time war in two countries .
the war he has a few days ago compounded by sending more troops to afghanistan , which none of its critics forget to stress .
at the ceremony , obama was also given the golmedaille , and of the diploma the cheque on ten million swedish kronor ( approximately 24 million czech crowns ) .

the sortier - be smell in brno müllcontainer not well
in prague , people can the drinks packaging sorting , in the südmährischen villages will again be in step and enters the sortier - müllcontainer .
and in brno ?
there should be set aside a few minutes ago , in order to find the appropriate garbage can .
i will not say that the waste in brno would be not to operate at all .
but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all , through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
you have some time in the centre , for example , tried to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
the only position that i have accidentally found in up to now , is taken of the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka us its members are supposed to me , not get angry , but this is far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks of my friends sorting that is why the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration of offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately the straßenbahnfahren i came to the right place .
but almost on the waste expired .
this is but is still represents the centre of brno , thus making the whole city , is not true ? !
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they are buying a eishockeyliga prefer the city , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party in spite of the opinion of the government the farmers and officials , more money , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
the causes which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
the salary increase for some groups as the socialists and communists have enforced , they expect to see the government is the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition , borrows . ' that is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to the choice , where the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the , which gave money to the left party now more : the fire service , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
in order to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for the development of the lack of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
most received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or cancellation of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that it solves the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden , in which the state owners of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto expanded , and this money is also acting as a reserve for the planned pension reform .
with this trick rising in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau of 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion , the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we need to pay anyway , this makes janota clear .
the minister then needs to save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
a hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , is to allow the on- line to monitor , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
the first stage starts in january .
the finance ministers should find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .

schneemangel plaguing hotel owners on the mountains
scneelose runways make sorgenn not only the riesengebirgen - residents .
the lack of snow discourages people also of the appointment of the skiaufenthalte in hotels and pensions .
we can therefore in giant still free room for all wintertermine incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
our sides are often visited .
the people go through the offers , note the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint , binding .
and if you call us , you ask whether , in our opinion , this year 's christmas immediately to snow or ' , the operators will be on matsch " of the information spindl.info , martin jandura .
who the new year 's eve - wants to stay in the spindelmühle exactly according to his ideas , should not hesitate more with the appointment .
who preferred the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to make a few days to wait .
the spindelmühle - hotelbesitzer provide now for the silvestertag mostly only wochenaufenthalte in .
i think that you are going to try to ensure that , for a time to sell this , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .
and then the free room will quickly dwindle , jandura estimated .
free beds in all winterterminen always provides always also the travel agency ingtours in vrchlabi .
the us most interested in now weihnachtswoche , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the places still freely .
therefore , have we already have some cheaper weihnachtsaufenthalte prepared for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ingtours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant the vrchlabi - travel agency can also offer here , but there is less free seats .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining wintertermine be sold on average .
in this year is the interest for the winteraufenthalte also negatively affected by the fact that in giant is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
no one wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the runways within a week , will also be verschneit the christmas to be sold out , be schiefert says .
the other way round and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon in pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .
on silvestertag and christmas we only have a few free rooms .
there is a great deal of interest in the polish holidays in the janua , and in february , the business will also go well , informed the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
for 80 % of the silvesteraufenthalte is also the hotel omnia zentralparkplatz in janske lazne occupied .
on the other hand , to christmas will remain in the most recent hotel in janske lazne nor the half of the beds freely .
very pleasant surprise us in the january this year , for which we are already around 60 % occupied at the present time .
is a bit weaker the february in the meantime , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant , the director of the hotel omnia , erik sporysch .
waiting for a greater schneebescherung the giant mountains - hotelbesitzer now .
on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but it is intended to again a warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech wetteramtes in hradec kralove .
united states : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost strange , schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , with which the president with his reputation of the brightest , the strategy of his predecessor in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its afghanistan - awaited doctrine ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
on the following months showed , however , that the bush - of the recommendations of military personnel strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation has not been improved , because he has his successor objectively hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , as it was to be expected .
in afghanistan barack obama hopes of the fact that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten criticised the vacillating protect hard in the white house .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea , and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
from europe he has the commitment for another 5,000 pressed , at least with 10 000 , even if he originally expected .
to be of the whole obama strategy is highly problematic project , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan , as has already been in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also , despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama strategy by its voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .
from the political view is the datumssetzung for the withdrawal mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as will enter into the indirect confession the american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to participate in the disputes in afghanistan , is running out .
also not explain to europe 's politicians can and want to their voters , the way in which the security of germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush - gebirgsvorland connected .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of the events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions in the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises , whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this is a question that has to be answered in the period , in which america after obama to siegerabzug proceed from afghanistan .
any solution will also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only sticking plaster for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore is still enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove totalausfall would .

a further significant role matt damon .
i told him : " i if you will , i must they play meeting .
the zweiundsiebzigjährige actor who played the prize for his role in the eastwood - drama receive from the boxbereich ' million dollars baby ' , had already been the leader of the movement on the abolition of slavery , from the end to - day slave has become , a fictitious us president , and also in ' evan omnipotent god , " but rarely , someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people , like mandela .
the former südafrikanischestaatsmann was for his active work in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was released in 1990 to undfür four years he was president of the country .
the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , which has been 1875 issued in the years .
the requirement to speak , as he was
the film , a real moment in the nelson mandela its forces with the captain of the south african rugbyteams , francois pienaar , zusammenschloss , in order to agree on the statute of the country . the new president mandela also know that his people after apartheid still remains shared rassenmäßig , as well as economically .
he believes that he be people through sport can agree , that is why he , the rugbyspieler decides , which are among the outsiders in the world , to some .
finally , the south african team is rising by in the world of the year 1995 .
freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela - history on the cinema screens that .
he had no other aim than to play this role in this way , in order to move closer to the reality to this as closely as possible , said freeman .
the main challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
the actors has said , if he would be in the same country , and the world leader he would try to meet with mandela , with him to evening to eat , and in his speech to be behind the scenes .
for him , was the most important to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i say that the hand schüttele , i accept your energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
matt damon is in the film françois pienaar , captain of the national rugbyteams , in which the white players have triumphed .
the actors said that he has had six months time , prepare for the role in the hard rugbywelt .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first in his house .
i , as i remember the türklingel rang that he opened up to françois pienaar and the first thing i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .

lichtgeheimnis on norway dissolved , the russians have tested a missile
on norway was to see a particular lichteffekt of unknown origin .
the russian defense , only yesterday has admitted that an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested near the norwegian border .
the start , but not again was successful and the described as a type " bulava rocket , should be the originally the pride of the russian army , is beginning to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the raketetest has had no positive effect on the success of the probeflüge .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers , it is already on ' bulava ' as on a " missile , the not flying . "
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third raketenstufe .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious caused by an unspecified fliegendes object light on nordwegen was actually the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
the generals has not clearly opposed this diesesmal and claims that we can talk of a failure .
the first two stages of the missile were not from and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases were damaged the engines straight in the first phase .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for unsuccessful .
the almost 50 success met with optimism and so the generals will continue to say , therefore , that the " bulava " even without problems will be flying and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
the team of czech and the german scientists testing , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv viruses in the body .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
this fact outweigh against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus - variants is not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
the patients can the medikamentenzusammenstellung but extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
but their use will be accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the three institutions of the academy of sciences cr experts , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , is the responsible for proliferation of the hiv viruses .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links block the virus reproduction , in other ways than all the medicinal products used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new capitalism improved capitalism connections , on the basis of the knowledge of molekularmechanismus their commitment on the viruses - eiweißstoff were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , the from boron , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms , and by a metal - nuclear power , in this case cobalt , are linked .
heimtückisches and lasting virus
hiv protease is eiweißstoff of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would not tyres infektionsvirenpartikel arise .
if we eliminate the hiv protease tasks , we also in the body of the patients from the proliferation of the virus , explaining the scientists in the press release , by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry the academy of sciences cr has been issued .
in the work in the wissenschaftszeitung journal of medicinal chemistry was published , describing the scientists whole ranks of the links , in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked by a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
, but rather weaker reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won of hiv - infected patients .
the impact of the metalokarborane in the usual enzyme - variant is not so much , as in the medicines used clinically , however , will not lose their impact on the resistentvarianten , against the the medicines used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism , as well as their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and the possibility of further chemical shaping , power metalokarboranen interesting links for further research , addressed to the development of effective medicines against hiv says pavlina rezacova , leader of the laboratories for strukturbiologie of the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and of the institute for molecular genetics the academy of sciences .
dispute because budget . ods to fishermen , the does
the chairman of the ods mirek topolanek , the budget for the next year approved described as ' terrible ' and the government of prime minister jan fischer should consider his opinion , their continued existence .
the statement from the czech ods the prime minister called a " strong statements are made . "
it is supposedly time for the analysis .
the deputy ods chairman , petr necas , said that the concept of beamtenkabinetts with the support of the , ods and cssd grünenpartei obviously no longer works .
after necas , the prime minister must decide whether he intends , in parliament to be based on the minority , if it is the fight against the rising deficit , or whether it be in order to remain in office through the parlamentlinken is .
the approach of the ods and the social democrats , on the issue of the public deficits is diametrically derogation , necas has already pointed out .
parliament has adopted on wednesday the budget for the year 2010 , but with linkpartei amendments on more than 12 billion kronor .
the parliament has the money for staatsbeamtengehälter , for to the maintenance of social benefits , and for increased direct payments to farmers .
the government , the proposals of the social democrats told that it conceals the budget deficit increase .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is also the wish of the government , because the amended budget is only a less bad version of the budgetprovisoriums . frase need clear
disappointment and futility
the finance ministers , edvard janota , has spoken on his disappointment and a sense of futility , while prime minister jan fischer has mentioned , that the government the current situation still judged .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation for the case , that the amendments were adopted , would look different the situation .
in accordance with the czech television has janota for monday registered after the government with the prime minister .
he has indicated that he be considered further remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
the extent to which fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so that , in accordance with necas the nominanten of the social democracy ( cssd ) , the amendments in the budget enforced , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime minister will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue to enhance deficit - laws , for example , the , concerning the sickness and pensions , or the dienstgesetzesnovelle .
topolanek : the nominated by ods ministers were wrong not
it is a matter of the prime minister , fishermen and the whole government .
the nominated by the ods ministers have not made mistakes , has stressed topolanek in a textmeldung from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some of the ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against the deficit - level of public finances to renounce , ' it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then it is supposedly with the support and civic tolerance can count not .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i shall be dealing with it , the nominated by the civil defence minister martin said bartak the journalists in parliament .
prime minister fishermen afternoon on the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
at the same time , necas stressed that the ods probably on wednesday , in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime minister of the members of the civic would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , then , we are not small children , so he responded to the question of whether the ods by their absence in the political negotiation on the budget of the leader of the party in parliament as well as in the czech republic has not been reduced .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .
already renounced the mandate when i , i knew that it in next few months of the parliament and , above all , to bolshevism destruction everything would be positive , responded topolanek itself .
after the new road map the cd ( czech railways ) will be fewer trains for roughly the same fare drive .
the czech railways ended or limited 13 december some less quick - and lokalzüge at full capacity , other links , will be strengthened against it .
the whole from the gültigkeitstag verkehrsumfang will of the new road map in comparison with reduced by two % today .

who with the vaccination has already begun in last year or earlier , weiterewiederholungsimpfung itself must also pay .
the first impfdosis must be made between the 3 and 5 months old of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
the parents paid 1600 kroner and more for a dose .
for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses required .
in the whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen spend sek 300 , 000 to 450 000 per year .
they save but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has spent for all flächenimpfungen of children around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
pneumokokken mittelohrentzündung , but also cause serious infections including gehirnhautentzündungen and blutvergiftung .

its association is already long term for the pneumococcal vaccination .
the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .
i believe that this is the way ahead , we must go now , led kalovsky .
the ministry of health does not want to change but the impfverfahren against pneumokokken .

the experts expect that more than 80 % of the parents their babies against pneumokokken inoculated from next year .
the vaccination against pneumokokken is path - breaking it is also that this will be paid for the first - of the health insurance and not by the state .
the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors have to buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical paediatricians , the concerns the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original plans should be the vaccines bought by the insurance and the doctors who receive this at the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
a number of members feared , however , that the insurance as ' the money from the krankenversicherungherausführen could ' .
the doctors buy the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance , you pay for them .

this will not be easy , cabrnochova says .

still you and we
the islam can be french ?
in a secular state , pluralism and pragmatism .
in a time for a ban on building in the swiss electorate voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
a number of readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country on one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
he not only , as a good anthropologist , would like to know what the politicians and the media , on the islam say in france , but what really happens in the area .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
it is a good listener , it is again debates between teachers and students about the issues , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs marry a man non- ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is this seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims , the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars and academics who was born in switzerland .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
the conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists , questioned the bowen salafi with their counterparts , are often divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
it is to what extent french into political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
it is a sign of that muslims may a rougher treatment as catholics , protestants and jews , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
it recognises a ' stricter werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
the islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
the ice is disappearing , the it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .

admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich to sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears , which have been caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .
even today zooanlagen still typically have a millionth of the environment of a wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was absolutely by the green algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .

even though banned in norway , america and russia , is the succumbed in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and further motorschlitten - travelling inuit powerful assault rifles use , in order to bring their spoils to line .
ironically , in the waters of the north of these two jagdnationen will remain the ice the longest .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) offers alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and , as a packenden insight into the future could develop .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
the certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome last week good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
although the district of washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local level , as well as national level .
the average scoring the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only rose by three points from 209 to 212 .
in reality , between 2007 and 2009 , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
the average scoring white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
the gap , which separated white and black viertklässler 2003 , as the first naep has been covered in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the points have achieved , the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
last week some bildungsbefürworter of the district expressed their concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this intimates that we the gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is difficult and problematic , jeff smith said , member of the board of dc voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message the prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
of course you would like to always see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we for our mittelschule must use .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of the reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey be brought to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep - progress have been reported , attributed to the last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , which are under the notenniveau , said rhee .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and can provide the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education to the university of california at berkeley , of the urban audit work .
the conventional cure is , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
we must strengthen our schools in the areas , so that all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 days , in order to have the strength to change , janey said , the last year with its teachers to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
university education for more people than future
the coach achieved the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have little to the end of the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silver spring and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching costs usd 38.690 per year , was the a ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , rather than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
" wow , really ? " she said to food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to the college .
the question is , where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school diploma was sufficient not end or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary in the middle class , in order .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , most came from mexico and central america , in the united states , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
, assess the powerful children , those who say that this often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but beratungsprogramme also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help in college to come , especially if these efforts continue on a long period of time .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills to help them in the wegsuche by the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanoamerikanische students examined .
we must think about , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school diploma was sufficient available .
the bundesprogramm , had financed the tour gracielas college , is a useful example .
it is known as the gear up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch , the college - vorbereitungsprogramme begin , if low - income pupils in the mittelschule are continuing and , until you have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
in accordance with the us department for education the programme has since 1999 helped more than 10 million pupils , 60 % of whom more than in college are gone .

more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen einzelkindern , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced , is a bevölkerungskrise in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance is with educated population in rich coastal cities , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child has been a per - couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and the labour force of the future to alleviate ' .
shanghai will soon be ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual easing
in the country 's constitution in 1978 enshrined , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , which are in breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have a number of officials , pregnant women , the already had a child , forced abortion .
many couples had also geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials have recently discussed even on radical amendments , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , almost overnight of directives have been replaced , which describe in detail , who for a second child into question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
the town hall has urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than have a child .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against a wish to second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the community of huinan with a population of as an example still go up 115 000 per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- a little higher than in 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give their first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy falsely as a question of human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , the personalleiterin , has said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight and they want to see no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group drawing up plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again be a priority , the for the next 40 years recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , with the industrialized countries in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could provide , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiation , the time is assuming , since more than 100 leaders from all world next week will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a special was formulated , is silent on the money supply from , the rich countries of the poor countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
it also provides a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging - market economies can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , of the six pages of document has drafted , has summed up a 180 sides long negotiations , in order to , which is what the in the heart of the leading klimaschutzvertreter of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole ' .
it shows the footprint of a possible agreement , in what the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce , while major developing countries , their emissions would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community has the talks on friday also a given to boost by your assurance on the next three years $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the face of the floods , droughts and avoiding deforestation .
nevertheless , the friday , the same verbal fireworks , which the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american klimasonderbeauftragte envoy todd stern began has rejected wording , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions demand for greater emerging economies , if this will not be financed from the developed countries .
this train has announced that the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is , not even two years ago .
the united states will not sign up to an agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , also the lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern was a deputy hour after the declaration of the chinese secretary of state its opinion he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american klimaunterhändler either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the great world powers is at stake , both within the developed countries , as also opened up between the developed countries and the emerging economies fault lines .
the current fight refers also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , so ulate , as the regional is klimawandelberater working for conservation internationally in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are the most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , in the early friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur runge - butcher , who is leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , has said , that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " partly that is why , because now they are united and measures of the emerging countries , such as china and india , are calling for .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders need to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
's high - level representatives , as the indian minister of the environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen its aircraft and around through the corridors of the bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
the pure -- 13 000 people are on a daily basis in the extent of the assembly kongresszentrum a and from , organise gitarrespielende activists shows at night , in which they are making fun of on the countries which , betray your opinion , and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on from hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
the intensity builds just on : almost all the important ministers are here now and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
the heavyweights come .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
on monday morning at 5 in the 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a zugabfahrt a pipe , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin pendlerservices from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
in theory believe the three large parties in this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage could in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the preferred option proposed is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and the other in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the journeys would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned , so that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this would mean that a terminus in london would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be extended to the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
the trains should first of all the high - speed lines to existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the route between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

last year he has a wintergarten grown , of the will be called the ' orangerie across ' in the plans .
neighbours described it as a " glass houses for entertainment ' .
duncan was also during a recent inquiry into its previous mortgages by not invited to the committee on standards and privileges , to increase the borrow money to take a position .

the interest rate of duncans rbs - mortgage has not changed during this time , which suggests , for the whole of the increase to the financing of the borrow money from £ 75 000 ( eur 85 000 ) served .

and i would have the whole damned sum can demand , but i am not doing it . '
the member from his previous career , millionaire as ölgroßhändler , the first time in may was attacked because of its expenditure , when it became clear that he had demanded thousands of pounds for his garden , before he had checked with the fees office that this ' could be regarded as excessive demand . "
an activist , as a protest in duncans lawn a hole in the form of a pfundzeichens dug , after it became known that he £ 4 000 over three years ( eur 4 500 ) had demanded .
last night , when he was asked about the increased mortgage , duncan : " this was said by both the fees office , as well as point following legg to value have been approved . "
he added : ' there is no risk of a debate on avoid and durchschlängeln or a bend the rules or similar .
everything is totally transparent and moved strictly within the rules is approved and everything .
it could not be clearer and clean . "

the union for french democracy ( udf ) vigorously and calls for the party nouveau centre on , not to use more their seals
the parties , which will be supervised by françois bayrou 's party modem , when a takeover on friday of the siegels has , of the once set up by valéry giscard d'estaing party , on the part of the chairman of the party nouveau centre , mr hervé morin , strong reaction and urged him under threat of a judicial persecution , to use this document stamp on any more .
mr hervé morin announces publicly his intention , to take this udf seals , since it is of the opinion that not worthy françois bayrou would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
the minister of defense , whose parteipartner the ump is , incidentally , wanted to this strategy before the national council of the nc to reaffirm on saturday .
on the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now received in nc ) , with the right to the property of the brand udf , since it as a first 2004 this mark of the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the geschäftstelle collapsed of françois bayrou 's friends supervised alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave to understand that they could not expropriate , and the minister , and to the members under the threat of a judicial persecution to use a deadline , not more this seals and their to be transferred to the property rights of the brand .
you have made in the last days many statements that you would propose their political movement , take the udf siegelzu + + , wrote the parties , in a letter signed by 19 of the 24 büromitglieder , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of the centrist alliance .
they believed that they have the right , the name , i believe , this movement + + + nouveau centre , the slogans of today 's udf + , on their political material , as well as possible to be on the start of their website .
as you know , you have no entitled to the use of this siegels , declared the secretariat of the udf , and calls on the party nc ' immediately the reference to the name udf from sämtlichem material , as well as by ( its ) website to remove ' .
also we called for by mr hervé de charette , " the property rights of the be transferred to their legal anspruchsberechtigen ' brand .
if you deny this , we will be complaint against they impose , in order to give the law , respect for and in order to defend the legitimate rights of the udf members , warned the undersigned .
in her letter you stress that ' udf ' since 1978 is a fully - fledged political movement and would remind you that morin and its friends " have made the choice ' to leave this 2007 , in order to create a competing movement , as has already been done by other 2002 had , in order to create the party ' ump ' .
the party nouveau centre has therefore , according to the undersigned , of any rights , the udf label ( union pour la démocratie française ) to use .
they continue to recall that the last congress of the udf , led to three - year accession to the modem party in 2007 and the creation of a secretariat for the defence ' of material and moral interests " of the set up by valéry giscard d'estaing movement , has adopted .
what mr hervé de charette is concerned , the secretariat , is continued , " he was at the time , when he has asked for the brand name , for three years now no longer a member of the udf ' , but the ump .
he benefited on scandalous and fraudulent way , by the lack of the deposit of acronym udf , in order to implement this for themselves .
they continue to be on the best ways to bear in mind that this recklessness is to turn in a criminal offence , and ironisieren the strategy of nc : ' it appears to us , but in the policy , as well as in the life dignified , themselves to make a name , rather than to try to come from the anonymity , it is , in fraudulent way appropriates a name , has to be no legal rights ' .

revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for over a decade ago , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place given ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
the demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
this demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future vision ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company on an equal footing alongside the customers .
the very conditional use internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , encourage this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i am afraid not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after many roundabout way finally priority concerned , the , ... to do what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and , finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take by intellectuals comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " revived unwittingly , far - reaching and of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
therefore , and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of managing a fundamental minutes : for the wage is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
at the moment accept only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place .
so , you will create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

but also feuerwehrzufahrten , public local passenger transport routes , with differences , such as the atzelbergstraße pedestrian avenues and routes .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
the around 1040 kilometres in needs in a maximum of three hours should , with feuchtsalz is responsible , the better , be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are free , until the launching berufsverkehr ' .
it will be difficult , if it only at 7.30 in snow .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , feed - and are erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
the final priority have sides - and roads .
there will be complaints there , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings are removed as a priority .
the fes are usually in order to all of the cycle paths might not be concerned about .
there is a particular in frankfurt , of 22 until 4.30 p.m. , above all the bridges in the watchful eye , says brauburger .
since it would give to glätte is quickly on this , as soon as the temperature falls below two degrees , which streuer .
this will also be called by the police , if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science on thursday .
the animal were living in today 's new mexico around 215 million years ago , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on in the north of the ghost ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
the researchers quickly as new identified some of the bones .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals together .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . "
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation is this ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
it is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae found the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you have also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column seems partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and most savage theropode with luftsäcken , randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of huge sauropoden also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
therefore early separated the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , the at the time still as superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
the three can not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says today .
his opinion , a distorted picture , because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while little is to be found in other continents .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still puzzling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat , with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with a number of other echsen .
at the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species , while the affinities ausstarb on the border of the i of the law .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs happen , but not the other reptiles .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped 150 million years later a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which are also already in the i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .
solidarity from vienna to são paulo
the list is long and the signatories are internationally .
university professors are toronto , the point , the university of cambridge uni vienna or from berkeley in california .
lecturers from naples are , from quebec , edinburgh , new york , são paulo or bremen , berlin .
the police evacuation of the occupied casinos the frankfurter goethe university proposes waves throughout the world .
278 professors and teachers of goethe university , but also by universities in germany as a whole , europe , and north - and south america solidarity with the student protesters on campus westend .
in german and english in a declaration ' , ' you condemn the led by the bureau police action .
uni - president werner müller - estler had the occupied by students and lecturers in the bildungsstreik buildings in the last week were spaces , because walls and daubed with paint works of art .
five students being injured .
the acts of vandalism , judging the signatories , justified not " the violent break - up of their own lectures by students and teachers by a polizeikommando ' .
the evacuation , a " not acceptable interference ' in the freedom of research and teaching .
the exclusive focus on vandalism serve ' the deligitimierung and criminalisation of protest ' and would like to draw from the content .
the bureau has deprived of the necessary discourse .
the lecturers demand the immediate cessation of criminal persecution .
the majority of the occupying forces did not support the damage , it says .
protest legitimacy
the trade union , mr verdi , also the young people and the german solidarity trade union confederation , with the students .
the protest is legitimate expression of a growing concern about the their own future , says verdi - landesjugendsekretär alexander small .
hessens wissenschaftsministerin eva bold - hörmann ( cdu ) , however , the action of unipräsident and of police defended .
we are grateful to the unipräsidenten .
destruction and occupation are completely unacceptable instances of funds , as you said in a current hour on thursday in the wiesbadener landtag .
we have understanding for the protest , but no understanding for vandalism , so the cdu - landtagsabgeordnete peter beuth .
different saw the the oppositionsfraktionen spd , of the greens and the left .
the cdu , bemalte walls on the pretext , in order to criminalise the protest , said janine wissler ( left ) .
rather than to deal with the arguments and demands of the students , have been removed .
the left has tabled a motion , which calls on the home affairs ministers , to give report on the police action .
new silicon - valley
long years has been regarded as secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
the capital moscow selenograd , one of ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community with its 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .
significant research and production for micro - and so than nanoelectronics are .
already since september 2008 , representatives had selenograds contacts to frankfurt wissenschaftsstandort riedberg - linked with the uniinstituten and the firms of frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .
there have been several mutual visits and now selenograd signed on wednesday and riedberg in frankfurt , a " protocol on closer cooperation ' .
the vice - moscow mayor yuri rosljak and prefect anatoly smirnov of selenograd led to the russian delegation , for frankfurt signed planungsdezernent edwin black .
2010 will be representatives of the fiz small and medium- sized enterprises and of the science foschungsschwerpunkts for a seminar after selenograd travel .
scientific exchange
it is about a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
companies of the fiz will make it possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
the other way round to russian wissenschaftsfirmen orders in germany scrape together .
selenograd is the seat major russian research institutes and businesses .
for example , these include the moscow institute elektronentechnik , the big companies sitronics and rosssijskaja elektronika .
in 1958 , the community was a so-called ' socialist planstadt ' directorate have been created for the defence research .
selenograd ( literally translated " grünstadt ' ) received its name from the forested hügellandschaft , are embedded in the research establishments .
stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 is not set high enough .
for the supporters of the project , it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe end up with lines , the in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed forward umzuspannen , locomotives in the back .
simultaneously , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe should disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will , in fact , now tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , are no longer compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that , in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city , it is almost impossible to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
the railways power with , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , of - the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - believes that it will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail .
a good eur six billion , in the schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
a total of 60 greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the development of the good 180 kilometres route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
would be necessary , as a matter of urgency , to push to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
the rheintalstrecke will on the real bottleneck for the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the national government has in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs [ hessischer rundfunk ] ( vgh ) will go to banning night flights in revision .
the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition have asked experts , is the more than 400 pages full vgh - judgment , to be legally examine said economics minister , mr dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh on these days in kassel had justified in writing that the country in the case of the north - west runway at frankfurt airport planned construction of the new rules to the banning night flights .
the authorisation of 17 flights between 23 and 5 p.m. , as it offered the provincial government provides , is not with the legal protection of the population against noise at night to reconcile .
the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
the opposition criticized this postponement and to urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision of the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their before the election promise made to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is hellishly difficult , if we must keep his word , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in reference to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , are the statements of its never have been group to banning night flights .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
the vote on the personalie body wanted yesterday evening .
the favorite was peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the sender , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - intendanten markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine of the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
in two weeks ago schächter was with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages are in favour of brender , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already signalled , brender not to want to confirm in office .
had the organised resistance against the koch editor of the hessische prime minister roland .
with the argument that would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
there were therefore protests until shortly before the election , in which the political influence has been plaguing the zdf .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and in the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .
subsequent stations : in 1988 to 1990 personal advisor of chefredakteurs ; in 1991 / 92 correspondent in washington ; by 1998 head and facilitator of the ' morgenmagazins " ; until 2001 head the zdf - foreign policy ; since then director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios .
the greens , after the defeat brenders announced , on wednesday , has been elected by the branchenblatt medium magazine the journalists of the year , a complaint of unconstitutionality .
koch adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that personalvorschläge of intendanten cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
a withdrawal of party from the colleges of supervisors of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move - by the body immediately after the brender - stepping down , strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of president of the chefredakteurs and also the management board to choose , without in the suspicions , a partisan to coax into office .
in the parteiarithmetik will frey already classified as the liberal left - wing .
study will entrümpelt
partial for the students : after a year of bildungsstreiks drew the culture ministers of the countries on thursday , at long last a : at a meeting of culture ministers - and hochschulrektorenkonferenz both sides agreed to the studying conditions in undergraduate and master to want to improve .
the students should be in the situation in the future , also able to solve their studies .
in the individual they agreed to , to reduce the prüfungsbelastungen : in principle , every studienmodul only conclude with a single audit .
the workload of the students and reviewed ' must also be guaranteed a realistic and acceptable level ' .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit between the universities within and outside of germany simplify .
the countries committed itself to this common strukturvorgaben for undergraduate and masters courses ' to make more flexible .
furthermore , deviating länderregelungen it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the student protest in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule , with only a test , " it is in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction in prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should be a stop to ' drift , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' must also be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' , whether the students ' unnecessary einengungen in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
the rules should apply in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses of study .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .
the culture ministers had urged the countries in the october ' with emphasis ' , so as to bring influence to bear on the agencies that the not too big and prüfungsregime stofffülle is not to strict .
in individual länder , universities and colleges of higher education with landesministerien have already agreed on the appropriate measures .
as a single country said so far in rhineland - palatinate to additional resources for the further development of the bologna process .
of the money is to set up the universities , above all , tutorenprogramme and study and strengthen review and auslandsämter .
country and want to universities pour eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the hochschulgesetzes to parliament .
after this , for the conclusion of a studienmodells only should be a single audit be necessary .
the studiengestaltung is to be more flexible , the recognition of leistungsnachweisen other universities must also be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master .
by the end of next year to study everything the country on their studierbarkeit be checked .
government and opposition , on thursday had argued once again on the studying conditions in the country .
in addition to praise , but it was also criticism of the decisions .
the bundesvorstand the juso - hochschulgruppen called for the shaping of education , in future , not more ' taking place behind closed doors ' of the ministers and university .
at the latest , after the bildungsstreiks should now also the students ' affected have a say ' .
support , the future academics by the president of the hochschulrektorenkonferenz ( hrk ) , margret wintermantel : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday at a meeting with the ministers of culture , with which the hrk on a common reform was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with a bachelor conclusion allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .
the countries need to clear more lecturers stop .
to a freer access to the masters , however , does not culture .
more than a footnote to herta müller
in germany and from comment is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the anfangszeile of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this issue in troubling sprachfetzen ankunftserfahrung of dissidents , the freedom won , but , at the same time , has lost his language .
the 1951 born in the romanian banat werner söllner had first of all , as german and englischlehrer - worked in a kinderbuchverlag in bucharest and , later , editor , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner is with various literaturpreisen he was excellent . in 1993 , the legendary frankfurter poetikvorlesungen at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessian literaturforums [ hessischer rundfunk ] in mousonturm in frankfurt .
for considerable außerliterarisches attention , he during a meeting in munich last tuesday , in the ' german literature in romania in the mirror and zerrspiegel their securitateakten ' .
report visibly confused and move söllner read out a statement , in which he before rumäniendeutschen schriftstellerkollegen , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth frauendorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian securitate security admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner in 1989 the german sprachpreis received .
the anwerbungsversuche have started by stealth , first 1971 .
so i am , closed söllner , ' someone who has campaigned against attempts to intimidate the securitate not enough . "
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the property of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , as far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
in its securitate - acts have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all the sensitive points at the time for him , " markel bailed out ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , speculation and will also have known , which in some case klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
a systematic information is thwarted in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate birthler authority - files ( cnsas ) has been set up in 1999 , the launch of files has been rather slow since then however .
there is a law only since 2005 , regulates the the administration of files .
the influence that former securitate - members in romania is still a very large , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate - head from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
the power of the infamy said is able to express quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? who was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .
sättigungsbeilage champions league
it felt , as would be because it is precisely a smart gekleideter außendienstler by a very nice christmas , on the a sports goodies had distributed , as the new vfb - coach of the christian gross in monitoring of a orange plastic bag ausrüsters a quarter after midnight in a herbeigerufene c - class rose . ¨
the man with the marked glatze was because of the city that he still alien chauffieren .
otherwise it would also be able to travel itself - alcohol , after all was not of the game , and besoffen luck was the 55 - year old just as little .
was a pleasant evening have been , but do tomorrow , the work further .
or not get right .
in the words of only three days before committed swiss : ' we have the 8 ' , that is , in the champions league achieved thanks to the 3:1 - success against unirea urziceni from romania , " but we must not let ourselves be blinded by the success : it will be a brutally hard fight against the decline . "
on sunday " the " much more important task before .
then it is , in mainz to repeat the königsklassen - performance in the league - everyday lives .
and certainly once again revealed weaknesses after the rapid three gates by marica ( 5 ) , träsch ( 8 ) and put a stop to pogrebnyak ( 11 ) .
lots
the 8 of the champions league ( hinspiele 16 / 17 + / 23 / 24 february matches 9 / 10 + 16 / 17 march ) on 18 december will be in nyon ausgelost .
the pleasure , on the fulminanten commencement of the babbel - successor remained so behaviour .
not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives had .
i am on the players received , and i have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , declared seelenklempner gross just sounding recipe for success that , under the therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .
he has sparked a certain magic , babbel - was in favour of jens lehman , ' if in football is a new impulse , sometimes things happen , would have kept the they are not in favour of possible ' .
and the weeks after verletzungspause sami khedira , thanks to its dynamism straight to the best players found on the place wake , tried this phenomenon ' and ' with the proverbial " fresh wind of the operation of the new to describe superiors : ' he is a man who requires action and discipline .
this is what we need in the current situation . "
under babbel had it been lacking obviously .
the vfb stuttgart is not yet about the berg , warns sportvorstand horst heldt
the vfb stuttgart needs but , above all , consistent .
as gross its proponents were because also players and managers before , the victory against a exaggerating ersatzgeschwächte and completely defence of the romanian guests swamped .
they have also won in glasgow , before four days later in leverkusen the 0:4 the evil awakening has come , khedira was to concerns .
and sportvorstand horst heldt warned that , although a saisonziel been achieved , but the other is still far off .
we are not yet of the woods .
that heldt 40th anniversary of his birthday , even after the first heimsieg been not for three months after the prospect of celebrate was , in the events the weekend was , in the form of a television broadcast immediately before spielbeginn interviews of gate - keepers jens lehman fresh invigorate .
there is , the other decisions and not the jens , countered heldt the harsh criticism lehmanns .
the had shown and the accused of the board leadership trainerwechsel pubertierender fans i have decided to pressure .
also that had been withdrawn , play be free day after , lehman as a sign of lack of sovereignty and resentment .
lehmanns statements are " characterised by minded egotism , " keilte heldt back and consequences for the schlussmann announced .

traumwelten
in wachem state some seeing pictures and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drogenrausch blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
everything is in order as long as it happens , in their sleep .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must have the wildest ideas and unchecked phantasiegebilden indulge .
however , those who experienced in the period traumartige conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , is in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in the drogenrausch .
blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes paint pictures , or to write novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , madness and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in the different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
even if the trigger and effect may , the different visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of neural , of the brain - above all , dopamin , , serotonin and noradrenaline acetylcholin derailment - and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
the force of gravity has no more about him power
the context of madness and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , stated 1861 a " great similarity of the irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no more about him power , it is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
it senses enters a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting him , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain on the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer bear them , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet you attached to a noose and to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loudspeaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
too .
the noose is disappearing .
the vote you should be a lesson the cry out ' go in the clinic in trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , and let you cure ' .
today is henning t. 40 years old , it is six acute psychosis seen , the last is 2 years back , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
in the worst fear and deepest despair psychosis i have seen , he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill at least once in the life of schizophrenia , in psychiatric clinics , it will be treated as second disease after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected more often than not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - , can lead relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
such as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten come from .
the perceive reality in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says professor thomas fox , general psychiatry oberarzt the clinic in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar overwhelmed dream , of what is happening and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich you is often not possible , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
the obsession thoughts and in reality , the verfremdung based hallucinations of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of the mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , is also the first manifestiere does not even for many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
if our brain hotly is
the stupidity is , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get them , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
this includes mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so castes , from the gedächtnisinhalten , which normally be withheld .
they arise , when areas in which have sensory are processed , are blocked überaktiv or too little ; if our brains also hotly is or , if stimulation is lacking .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - vorpommern visited and the secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
it can happen that in the break a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair addresses it .
if it responds to the classmates look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
you believe that the timid girls for a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as the girls in the bank in addition , they can see and hear .
you can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
i am crazy ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening
the mere empty words are often also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other visual and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you waiting for the sleep in their dark room , which is , of course , far too rarely and come too late , it can often not distinguish between , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
nothing of the parents and friends told you would think it is crazy .
autumn of 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has in the last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
in a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you contact with the psychologists castes , on the internet , you know that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likelihood , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , as you began with 13 learned that the man that they can daddy calls , since they thinking , is not their leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
at night images also sees caste as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients , therefore , that the hallucinations also value as a special ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and psychotherapy chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness is also a work of art out of desperation .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself - and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in the reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to a standstill .
a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears visited foreign times and places : they experience as a zugsanatoriums bettlägerigen , old mann , on board , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks on the motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
it is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in the memory .
this internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is a other state , be he describes see .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
the intensity of this erlebens goes beyond the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
at the end of the day , show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch , how fragile our internal reflections of external reality also in the ensure are .
any change of the bewusstseinszustandes , to summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of reality , what we call ' .
a experience , the well can also be enriching .

mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , introduced on the behalf i - stop , at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats provide an excellent good ergonomics and stop good .
it is also the game of lenkrads excellent .
in view of the unity , the further out of the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colours red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
therefore , can easily be said that , both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , both converted japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by its quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who drive not many kilometres a year , this should stop with petrol engines i - whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model sportive selected a special , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung has .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .

conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also buy the i - stop version , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
the only be negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day in the new highest fahrspass .

it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time chose to one of the products of the year .
it is on the straβe to see , is unlikely to be , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little , and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success of that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same borders , however , as his american counterpart , has a surprise crisis .
the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 the month , roaming includes for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , know already , what it means , on all the data must to do , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , we need already a doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe were almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small device as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the behalf fon , even though it does not have a wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as offering the peek already in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the telephone read .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , with the same time a computer system able to see .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , was the clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes are very different in the stoffart , from which they are prepared .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten along with .
the accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time , although a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
the discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their motherhood .
the study , open , that there is a very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of profession they exercise .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house not carry out other work , only part-time work or no fixed contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast , the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer to achieve this , and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem also has the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " says the csic - researcher , margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey the age is the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be found in the same age women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
in addition , there is still , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way around and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of fuenlabrada walking , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the just six kilo is , and then you from the blue missed him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
it is not our outrage in words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
in addition to the erstickungsanfall that a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , as it wanted to these people because of the reprimanding incident , it feared even for their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with every make , of the weaker than it is in itself .
the incident occurred in a normally calm neighbourhoods in a very ordinary tuesday at five o'clock in the afternoon .
the dog has the whole day geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we can not to understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animals fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
we know not where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of vans rising to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for light something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that they are so that the first increase at all after 22 with constant decline , gemäβ the successive months by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 , which are particularly bad verkausjahr with a 60 % decline in respect of the previous year was .
we must remember , however , that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , but all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds what impact the demand in the most , because even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in the purchase nearly 100 % of all cases with a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and , in the difference to cars that have the financial support for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday had ganvam again remind you that , it is absolutely necessary , is also a special emphasis on the part of the state in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
the autohändlervereinigung predicted for the year 2010 as the just last a similar year , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
in fact , they are already duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , but to improve the protection of the fuβgänger , can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical bremsmanövers , which the system by the bremsstärke outlined by the drivers on the brake recognises , to exercise .
however , this system is not until the end of this pressure .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the bremshilfe against intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and bremsabstand , therefore , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss already is inevitable , is the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .

nick reilly , the new chairman of gm europe , namely wants to achieve that the side affected their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , that first , the workers , and then there are the governments of the countries , in which it works , will be presented until will postpone in early 2010 .
dementgegen will by gm assured that , in the next few days , it will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
since it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
to , gm are to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
an this buyers could be geely , which also would like to buy up volvo , however , the skyper - the option of dutch manufacturer sports , which has the backing of the russian group converg , attracting an ever - greater .
if it should come to an agreement with any of these buyers , gm some assets to the chinese baic could sell .

at the wheel of the porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now only 1.275 kilos brings to the balance .
in order to create something renunciation , as a first , you on the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a zeltleinwanddach with manuellem impetus , so that we alone has , thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning 13 once again ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilos have been reduced ; saved by the installation of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also been exacerbated by the renunciation of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe achieved by the lack of kilo handles from substance .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
the reduction of its weight , but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since we have already not long more as a small and light model probegefahren , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed .
it is a small athlete , to be able to flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car power everything , with our hands what we him the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he makes it with the precision of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very have been able and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that the motorgeräusche can change , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable brutally , regardless of whether from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , quite was already damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route almost nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trends of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found this morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a car , with which to indescribable fahrspass has , as it otherwise it is rather rare and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 in his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group of the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 of the assessment ) .
the team from vitoria could the significant defaults of herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace teamwork , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
the great right from the perimeter with 16 rated triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory .
the game began with the leadership of the blauroten , which is from the outset the tip of the anzeigentafel .
since the first four baskets of the team from vitoria already came from the perimeter out , we have already guess that they had come to the playing field with reheated handgelenken well .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , in order further to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic began as the best of his team with 13 points , to highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the mote can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer once again remind you that not everyone on their level playing field wins , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' attack time and again they came back to the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow ' the helm umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , a few prepare gambits with accuracy had to once again , in order to get air and in one of them the suddenly emerged gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that on the anzeigentafel by ( 54 - einberuhigender distance to 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen were in the last quarter of bloβgestellt and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried , your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although mote because fouls being the place was asked , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended well and although the israelis nor in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a victors and tel aviv for the first time in this season .

unicaja lost loudly in greece against olympiacos and the leadership in the group had to b of the euroliga to him to resign and the in a game , by the defaults on the part of the players of unicajas ( freeland , lima and archibald ) , in particular , the innenspiel , was marked , what the victory of facilitating the greeks .
the team from malaga had neither fear the mood in the warehouse of peace and friendship before the opposing team , which is perhaps one of the most of europe and has a lot of money .
thanks to their shackles game in first quarter andalusians were allowed to start to dream . a aggresive defence and three consecutive three times , two by omar cook and one by guillem rubio , the host with 12 - 18 - in the 9 minute .
olympiacos was of the intensity of the ereins unicaja surprised , even if the local team with a innenspiel between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the anzeigentafel in the 13 minute 22 - 20 in their favour anzeigte , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to the affray between the two americans beverley and would have been to williams and which is why both disqualified have been .
the greek team began , warm weather at last to be , and its superiority on both spielhälften , while the departure of the englishman , mr joel freeland as a result of a violation of , and the three itself mistake by carlos jiménez caused significant traces in the unicaja hinterlieβen .
under its players in the innenfeld and the lithuanian vorspieler linas kleizas , with its triple , they increased its advantage in the 19th minute to 44 - 32 .
a race was impossible
the third spielviertel was characterised by many attacks against the team of olympiacos from , despite its 19 losses consider showed and even managed , the difference of fought in malaga game with 66 to offset - 48 in the twenty - seventh minute , again , with regard to the leadership fluctuate within the group to produced .

it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , to pay the debt with the direktkauf of assets and indirectly to let the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of the countries of the euro area to germany .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
on the other hand , a degree of uncertainty is detrimental not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , once again had tried , in the leaders of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits had led to the loss of jobs , slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , via a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
a government , which conceals the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made in italy there berlusconi and sócrates in portugal , mr barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens to the need for auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts are , it would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same speed as the european unternehmensboni increase .
but should reduce the differences between the european and are , to continue to increase the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the volume of this early indicators a groβteil of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not long life span .
once again , it is the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as ' caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the subcommittee of the parliament , where in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , some stichpunkte galán the press was about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola , however , is of the opinion that we should not invest more in an increase in the energy , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , on the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more are needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by other ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national kohleverbrauch to create , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions to the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle them .

but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always dispose of not only on paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
tries you have some time in the centre , for example , to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
accidentally found in the only position that until now i have taken , is the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka us his colleagues should not get angry , but that strikes me far too little .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks for this reason , my friends sorting the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately i came in the straßenbahnfahren in the right place .
ran the waste but almost on .
this is but is still the centre of brno , thus making the whole city is represented , not true ?
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they are buying , the city a eishockeyliga , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party despite the view of the government gave money to the farmers and officials , more , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
caused the which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
than the socialists and communists the salary increase for some groups have enforced , they expect to see the government is the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition borrows . " this is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to choice , where take , the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the , which gave money to the left party now more : the fire department , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for lack of development of the motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
legs received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that solves it the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden of , with which the state owner of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto stocked and this money is also acting as a reserve for the planned pension system .
growing with this trick in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau by 5.7 % gdp .
ends in the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion fell the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of criminal offences or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we must which pay anyway , is janota clear .
then the minister , we must save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
one hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , that is intended to supervise , on- line to allow , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
launching the first stage in january .
should the finance ministers find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and come in this case , sanctions janota warned .

bedeviled schneemangel the mountains hotel owners
make scneelose runways sorgenn not only the riesengebirgen - residents .
the lack of snow discourages people also of the appointment of the skiaufenthalte in hotels and pensions .
therefore we can in giant still free room for all wintertermine incl . christmas and new year 's eve received .
visited our sides are often .
by the people go offers , note the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint , binding .
and if you call us , you ask whether , in our opinion , this year 's christmas immediately to snow or ' at matsch ' will be , the operators in the information spindl.info , martin jandura .
who the new year 's eve - wants to stay in the spindelmühle exactly according to his ideas , should not hesitate more with the appointment .
preferred who the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to make a few days to wait .
offer the spindelmühle - hotelbesitzer now for the silvestertag mostly only wochenaufenthalte in .
i think that you are going to try to ensure that , for a time to sell this , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .
dwindle quickly , and then the free will room jandura estimated .
free beds in all winterterminen always provides must always be the travel agency ingtours in vrchlabi .
interested in now the us most weihnachtswoche , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the places still freely .
therefore , have we already have some cheaper weihnachtsaufenthalte prepared for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ingtours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant the vrchlabi - travel agency can also offer , but there is a less free seats .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining wintertermine , an average of sold .
in this year is the interest for the winteraufenthalte also negatively affected by the fact that in giant is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
nobody wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
runways within one week should be verschneit , will also be the christmas to be sold out , believes schiefert .
vice versa and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon in pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .

for 80 % of the silvesteraufenthalte is also the hotel omnia the zentralparkplatz in janske lazne occupied .
on the other hand , to christmas will remain in the most recent hotel in janske lazne nor the half of the beds freely .
pleasant struck us in the january this year , for which we are already around 60 % occupied at the present time .
is a bit weaker now at the february , but , in the very moment when the snow is , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant , the director of the hotel omnia , erik sporysch , to .
waiting for a greater schneebescherung the giant mountains - hotelbesitzer now .
cool down on thursday it should be and if it comes to rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but , after that should once again an warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech wetteramtes in hradec kralove .
united states : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost funny , with what schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , the president with its reputation of the brightest , his predecessor 's strategy in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally his awaited doctrine in afghanistan , ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq " that he has even the name of the bush statement of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
showed , however , that the subsequent months of the recommendations of military personnel outgoing bush strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
bush 's reputation has not been improved , because he has his successor objectively hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , as it was to be expected .
barack obama in afghanistan hopes , that the miracle repeatedly .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal the , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten vacillating protect in the white house hard criticised .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
pressed from europe he has the promise of another 5,000 , even if he himself at least with 10 000 , originally expected .
highly problematic to be of the whole obama strategy is projects to withdraw the troops from afghanistan even in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare the afghan security forces which are accustomed , every day to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of obama - strategy surprised by his voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .
from the political view is the datumssetzung for redeployment mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as will enter into the indirect confession the american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to apply to the combat to participate in afghanistan , is running out .
europe politicians can and want to also not explain to their voters , the way in which the security germany or italy with the war in the hindu kush - gebirgsvorland connected .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions in the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises , whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this is a question that has to be answered in the period , in which america after obama to proceed siegerabzug from afghanistan .
any solution will but also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only sticking - plaster for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore is still enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove totalausfall would .

the overall prämienboni of in the course of this jahra will , after the agency reuters probably despite , too , the notified measure today exceed $ 20 billion .
the high prämienboni in the banking sector , with the start of the financial crisis in a series of länders become the most controversial political issue .
britain reported on wednesday that it intends to do the bankers ' bonuses , the 25,000 £ exceed unique , with a tax of 50 % to burden .
similar steps is also preparing france .

the zweiundsiebzigjährige actor who played the prize for his role in the eastwood - drama from the boxbereich ' million dollars had been given baby ' , was already the leader of the movement towards the abolition of slavery , from the has become the finally , to - day slave , a fictitious us president , and also in ' evan omnipotent god , " but rarely , someone who is still alive , and is so important for many people , like mandela .
the former südafrikanischestaatsmann was for his active work in the end of apartheid in the south african republic for 27 years in prison .
he was in 1990 to released undfür four years he was president of the country .
the nobel peace prize in 1993 it was .
' invictus ' is the latin word for ' ungeschlagen ' , and at the same time it is of the name of a gedichtes of the english author william ernest henley , which was issued in years 1875 .

freeman worked on this point that several years , in order to bring the mandela - history on the cinema screens that .
he had no other aim than to play this role in this way , in order to move closer to the reality to this as closely as possible , said freeman .
the main challenge was , of course , so to speak , as it .
the actors has said , if he would be in the same country , and the world leader he would try to meet with mandela , with him to evening to eat , and in his speech to be behind the scenes .
was the most important for him , to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i say that the hand schüttele , i accept your energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .
it is important for me , to have become another person .
matt damon is in the film françois pienaar , captain of national rugbyteams , in which the white players prevailed have .
the actors said that he has had six months time , prepare for the role in the hard rugbywelt .
it was a big surprise for him , when he met pienaar for the first in his house .
i , as i remember the türklingel rang that he opened up and the first thing to françois pienaar , which i said in my life , i see : ' in the film was much greater from ' .

dissolved lichtgeheimnis on norway , the russians have tested a missile
via norway was a special lichteffekt unknown origin to observe .
the russian defense , only yesterday has admitted that near an intercontinental ballistic missile was tested the norwegian border .
but , again the launch was not successful and the described as a type " bulava rocket , should be the originally the pride of the russian army , is beginning to the nightmare of the russian generals , as well as the prime minister vladimir putin .
also its repeated presence on the ground at the raketetest has had no positive effect on the success of the probeflüge .
bulava is usually not launched at all or in the air has been damaged .
in the russian newspapers writes we already debating the ' bulava ' as on a " missile , the not flying ' .
not a rocket , the shining flies , but
this was already 13 attempt at the beginning of normal .
only again at the end of the flight are technical damage to the missile have emerged .
probably the engine exploded in the third raketenstufe .
this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious caused by an unspecified fliegendes object light on nordwegen was really the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubted that it is a russian missile .
has the generals diesesmal opposed this and claims that it does not clearly can talk of a failure .
were not from the first two stages of the missile and by the accident was affected only the third stage .
in the previous cases were the equally engines in the first phase damaged .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for unsuccessful .
met the almost 50 success that is why the generals with optimism and it will continue to claimed that the ' bulava ' once without problems will be flying and even until ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
testing the team of czech and the german scientists , the new links should prevent the spread of hiv - viruses on the organism .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
outweigh this fact against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus variants not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
aids can be cured not yet the disease .
the patients can the medikamentenzusammenstellung but extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
their use will but accompanied by a whole number of side effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the experts from three institutions of the academy of sciences cr , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , the for proliferation of the hiv viruses responsible is .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .

the prime minister will make it clear that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue deficit - boosting laws , for example , the , concerning the sickness pay and pensions , or the dienstgesetzesnovelle .
topolanek : the nominated by ods ministers were wrong not
that is the job of the prime minister , fishermen and the whole government .
the nominated by the ods ministers have not made mistakes , has stressed topolanek in a textmeldung from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some of the ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against the deficit - level of public finances to renounce , ' , it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .

the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
necas at the same time , stressed that the ods probably on wednesday , in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime minister of the members of the civic would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , we are not small children , so it will be on the question of whether the ods then responded by their absence in the political negotiation on the budget of the leader of the party in parliament as well as in the czech republic has not been reduced .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .

the first impfdosis must be made between the 3 and 5 months old of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
1600 kroner and more for a dose paid the parents .
needed for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses .
as a whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
save you but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has for all flächenimpfungen of children spent around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
cause pneumokokken mittelohrentzündung , but also serious infections including gehirnhautentzündungen and blutvergiftung .

the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .
i believe that that is the way the we must go now , led kalovsky .
the ministry of health does not want to change but the impfverfahren against pneumokokken .

buy the doctors the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance you pay for them .

this will not be easy , says cabrnochova .

can the islam french be ?
pluralism and pragmatism in a secular state .
at a time when the swiss electorate for a ban on building voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamicisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
some readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love " ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country through more than one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to exercise today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
as a good anthropologist would he not only like to know what the politicians and the media say about islam in france , but what happens in the field really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
he is a good listener , it gives debates between teachers and students about the questions again , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs a her marry non- man ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is these seemingly down - to - earth affairs , he claims , which amounts to the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars who was born in switzerland and academics .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
questioned the thinkers and activists , the bowen , in the majority of salafi with their counterparts are divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe muslims show .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
he queries to what extent french political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
he suggests that muslims possibly a rougher treatment as the catholics , protestants and jews know , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
he recognises a ' stricter werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
can the islam be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
ice is disappearing , which it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .
oil , gas , schifffahrts - and fishing interests went in the newly open water , with diplomats , lawyers , and also in their wake to authors now .
richard ellis , an author and illustrator , is in ' on thin ice ' ( originaltitel : ' on thin ice ' ) a naturgeschichte , of the icon of the north of the polar bears .
exercised in the complicated history and policy of whaling , the long tradition of arktiserforscher he describes , the themselves in the quest for the polar bears have demonstrated .
admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich at sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears which are caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .
even today have zooanlagen still typically a millionth of the environment of a wild alttiers . the climate is rarely suitable : the polar bear in singapore was absolutely by the green algae , which in the hollow hair grow his fur .

ellis relates to the reports of other authors and historians and go back often to the threat of the hunters for the survival of species .
even though banned in norway , america and russia , is the succumbed in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and further motorschlitten - travelling inuit powerful assault rifles use , in order to bring their spoils to line .
ironically , in the waters of the north of those two jagdnationen the ice the longest remain .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) offers alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , is a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and an packenden insight , such as the future could develop .
example , not that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmosphärenwissenschaftler nor ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .
that is not , however , from a lack of rationalisation .
the pionierreisen of fridtjof nansen end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century for the first time the turbulence of the packeises guess .
submarines vermaßen in the cold war changing grate in the cost .
are a useful complement satellitenvermessungen and the widespread application of messsonden of icebergs , but is still much by brave people who camped out in the cold outside achieved .
anderson casts a glance at the strange , tiny world of zuflusssystems within the arctic ice , which will be formed by salzwasserrinnsale , in the cold zusammengedrückt be .
but , starting from the bear on the ice to the microscopic surprised the ice , all of them are under threat , once the summer passes , which is estimated to be in for the period between 2013 and 2050 .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome last week the good news for the public schools in washington d.c.
though the district of washington are still far is behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local , and national level .
scoring the average of the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only rose by three points from 209 to 212 .
between 2007 and 2009 , in reality , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
scoring the average white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
across the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
separated the gap , the white and black viertklässler 2003 , when the first naep has been covered in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
scoring and although the , have achieved the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
some bildungsbefürworter of the district last week expressed concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this intimates that we the gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is complicated and difficult , said jeff smith , member of the board of d.c. voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington d.c. entry .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message of prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
naturally , there is always a would like to see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we for our mittelschule must use .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey according to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep will - progress , the last week have been reported , attributed to .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , which are under the notenniveau , said rhee .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools can provide , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , said , a professor of bruce fuller education at the university of california at berkeley , the urban audit work .
is the conventional cure , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
strengthen our schools in the areas , so that we must all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter - schools .
we must increase the school year is approaching 200 days , in order to have the power to change , said janey , with its teachers last year to an agreement on 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty considered .
university education for more people than prospects
achieved the coach the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have only just finished the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , the in silver spring recovered , and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching per year costs usd 38.690 , was more ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
wow , really ? " " they said food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to 's college .
the question is where .
one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what does nothing to end the high school diploma was sufficient or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary , in order in the middle class levels .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – which is a remarkable achievement , since many of its immigrant parents , mostly from mexico or central america , in the us came , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
assess , the powerful children , those who say that this very often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .
many of you have also parents to set high targets , the their children and to find ways to compensate for their lack of familiarity with american schools .
but beratungsprogramme also play a major role , by they graciela and millions of children as they help in college to come , especially if these efforts on a longer time continue .
if we regarded low - income children whose parents have not the experience and skills to help them in the wegsuche by the system , then a single measure at any time will not solve the problem either , patricia gándara said , a researcher at the university of california , davis , and the hispanoamerikanische students examined .
we must think about , for these children a supportive network of pre- school up by the high school diploma was sufficient available to it .
financed the bundesprogramm , 's college - to tour gracielas had , is a useful example .
it is known as the gear up a gear - and is more than $ 300 million per year available for local school systems , in order to launch college vorbereitungsprogramme , the start , if low - income pupils in the mittelschule are continuing and , until you have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
according to the us department for education the programme has since 1999 helped more than 10 million pupils , 60 % of whom more than in college are gone .

us defense gates : iran must reckon with additional sanctions
friday defense robert m. gates said that the world powers will soon be " significant " additional sanctions on iran impose be , because he has not taken part in discussions on its nuclear .
gates spoke during a 7 - days visit by the war zones in afghanistan and iraq to a group of approximately 300 us soldiers in northern iraq and played the prospect of a military action against the islamic republic of iran down .
in iran are no good opportunities for election , he said in response to the question of soldiers the likelihood of such a development .
' one of the things that are on the soul to me , is that if we in the last six years have learned something from iraq , the the war own unpredictability . "
the obama government prefers a sanktionspaket in recital , which aims at iran 's political and military elite , but also the gates has announced that some sanctions durchschnittsiraner might affect .
he said that a " package of positive incentives and disincentives ' is necessary to ' in order to convince the iranian government that , in reality , they with nuclear arms is less protected ' , because " their people monsters ' will suffer under the sanctions .

iran continues to claim that the knowledge of the nuclear power stations are to be won only for peaceful purposes .
during the talks in geneva on 1 october , iran said that he would reintroduce the talks on the restriction of its nuclear programme and to an essential part of its lagerbestands of depleted uranium in exchange for much - needed nuklearbrennstoff would forgo for his medical research .
the us government has pushed for this type of agreement , in order to build the trust between the two parties and time for negotiations to gain .
iran appears but since this time the negotiations have to rely on the provisional agreement -- partly , experts tell , because the iranian leadership is divided about , whether they should commit themselves to the united states .
iran that the international community in relation to a number of proposals to which they had already been agreed in early october , simply left , has , frankly , the international community , including the russians and chinese , to put together a way , as it in connection with important additional sanctions for iran never were , gates said .
president obama has set a deadline of 31 dez. for the iran , to respond to these proposals , before he other options , including those , the secretary of state hillary rodham clinton once called , " crippling sanctions , " will continue to pursue .
in a statement made in new york has condemned the iranian representation at the united nations , what you on thursday ' groundless assertions ' without and foundation of certain members of the security council to the iranian atomaktivitäten called and said that they are prepared , the talks with the united states and five other world powers to continue , ' in order to ensure a suitable to reach long- term solution ' .
gates , should the to return to washington last friday , met on tomorrow , with iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki , before it in the oil - rich kurdish region in iraq to take part in meetings with the soldiers in kirkuk and with the kurdish authorities in irbil flew .
the tensions between the kurds and the arab majority in the iraq are still high , in particular in relation to borders , property rights , and because the distribution of public revenues .
gates urged both sides , to reduce the potential for conflict , in order to prevent delays of the us plans , the american troops , up until the end of august of 115 000 to 50 , 000 to reduce .
gates also sought , the kurdish concern on the forthcoming a withdrawal of troops to dispel . us - representatives quoted gates , to masood barzani , the president of the kurdish regional government , has said : ' we will their security , prosperity and their autonomy within a united iraq .
we will not leave it ' .
a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propagandaplakaten on , the ' mother earth to you considered that lectures , that is tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer suddenly began , to change course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their reply immediately and a final was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
said is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , a personalleiterin with an 8 - month old son .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen einzelkindern , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced , is a bevölkerungskrise in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is much higher than the global average of around 20 % .
is the imbalance in rich coastal with educated population , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child has been a per - couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and the labour force of the future to alleviate ' .
shanghai will soon ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , ' she said .
a gradual détente
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , the , violate this politics must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have some officials pregnant women , the already were forced abortion , a child .
many couples had also geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 was the tone many hard moderated slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials recently discussed even on radical changes have , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , almost overnight of directives have been replaced , which describe in detail , who for a second child into question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
sent the town hall has urban employees and volunteers for family planning to go and see couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than one child have .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said a moment ago .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against it want to a second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the municipality huinan go with a population of 115 000 than example still per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- slightly higher than 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give her first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west assess the a - child policy falsely as a question of human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity , more than to have a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples be psychological reasons for their hesitation at .
wang , the personalleiterin , has said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used , that everyone has has dealt with us .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight to see and they want no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group drawing up plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again be a priority , the for the next 40 years recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , with the industrialized countries in the near future the greatest burden shoulders should .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could provide , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiation , the time is assuming , since more than 100 leaders from all world next week in copenhagen will arrive .
the text , the un working group established by a special was formulated , is silent on the money supply from , the rich countries of the poor countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
he also offers a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging - market economies able to restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar , of the six pages of document has drafted , has summed up a 180 sides long negotiations , in order to , which is what the in the heart of the leading klimaschutzvertreter of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole " .
it shows the footprint of a possible agreement , in what the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce , while major developing countries , their emissions would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community has the talks on friday also a given to boost by your assurance on the next three years $ 3.6 billion per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from champions of flooding and droughts to avoiding deforestation .
nevertheless , the friday , the same verbal fireworks , which the discussions in the last week had intended .
has the american klimasonderbeauftragte envoy todd stern began wordings rejected , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions demand for greater emerging economies , if this will not be financed from the developed countries .
this train has announced that the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is , not even two years ago .
sign the united states will not be agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , the also lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern its opinion has been one hour after the statement by the deputy chinese secretary of state he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american klimaunterhändler either lacks ' of common sense ' or was it " highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the great world powers is at stake , both within the developed countries , as also fracture lines between the developed and the emerging markets opened up .
the current fight refers equally to the rescue of individual economies , as well as on the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , so ulate , as the regional is klimawandelberater working for conservation internationally in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are the most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , in the early friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur runge - butcher , who is leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , said that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " partly that is why , because now they are united and measures of the emerging economies , such as china and india , are calling for .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders need to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
's high - level representatives , as the indian minister of the environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen its aircraft and around through the corridors of the bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
13,000 people -- the pure scale of the assembly go on a daily basis in the kongresszentrum a and from , organise gitarrespielende activists shows at night , in which they are making fun of on the countries which , betray your opinion , and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on from hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
just on the intensity rising : here almost all the important ministers are now and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
come the heavyweights .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
monday morning at 5 o'clock 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to ensure a pipe zugabfahrt announce , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin - pendlerservices go from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
believe the three large parties in theory this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage could in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
preferred option proposed is a y - shaped the routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and another in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion would be the route between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes reduce .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned in such a way as that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this in turn would mean that a terminus in london would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be developed with the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
trains should first of the high - speed trains on the existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the travelling time between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
sticking - point that it is crucial , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

the union for french democracy ( udf ) vigorously and calls for the party nouveau centre on , not to use more their seals
the parties , which will be supervised by françois bayrou 's party modem , when a takeover on friday of the siegels has , of the once set up by valéry giscard d'estaing party , on the part of the chairman of the party nouveau centre , mr hervé morin , strong reaction and urged him under threat of a judicial persecution , this more stamp on any document to use .
hervé morin announces publicly his intention , to take up this udf seals , because he was of the opinion that françois bayrou not worthy would be to defend this political legacy , after he had a hand to the left .
the minister of defense , whose parteipartner the ump is , incidentally , wanted to this strategy on saturday before the national council of the nc to reaffirm .
on the strength of his efforts he had the support of the members mr hervé de charette ( former ump , now received in nc ) , with the right to the property of the brand udf , since it as a first 2004 this mark of the ' institute national de la propriété industrial ' has requested .
however , the geschäftstelle collapsed of françois bayrou 's friends supervised alliance udf , led the silence and clearly gave to understand that they could not expropriate , and the minister , and to the members under the threat of a judicial persecution a deadline , this seals not to use more and their to be transferred to the property rights of the brand .
you have in the last days ' time , you made many statements that their political movement would propose that the udf take siegelzu + + , wrote the parties in a letter signed , of 19 of the 24 büromitglieder , including françois bayrou and mrs de sarnez , of the modem party and the senator jean arthuis of the centrist alliance .
they believed that they have the right , the name , i believe , this movement + + nouveau centre + , the slogans of today 's udf + , on their political material , as well as possible to be on the start of their website .
as you know , you have no entitled to the use of this siegels , declared the secretariat of the udf , and calls on the party nc ' immediately the reference to the name udf from sämtlichem material , as well as by ( its ) website to remove ' .
also we called for by mr hervé de charette , " the property rights of the be transferred to their legal anspruchsberechtigen ' brand .
if you deny this , we will be complaint against they impose to ensure respect for to the law and in order to defend the legitimate rights of the udf members , warned the undersigned .
in her letter you stress that ' udf ' since 1978 is a fully - fledged political movement and would remind you that morin and its friends " have made the choice ' to leave this 2007 , in order to create a competing movement , as has already been done by other 2002 had , in order to create the party ' ump ' .
nouveau centre the party has therefore , according to the undersigned , of any rights , the udf label ( union pour la démocratie française ) to use .
they continue to recall that the last congress of the udf , led to three - year accession to the modem party in 2007 and the creation of a secretariat for the defence ' of material and moral interests " of the set up by valéry giscard d'estaing movement , has adopted .

this decision means that , in fact , there will be a process in this case , the saga one of the richest families of france , is worthy in mother and daughter shreds and which at the same time the reins of the kosmetikimperiums l'oréal have in the hand .
but also ordered the 15 criminal a medical examination of the 87 -year-old liliane bettencourt , which will be performed jointly by three doctors .
the heir and hauptaktionärin of l'oréal has so far refused to undergo such a study , especially not in the , during the investigation presented by the public prosecutor of nanterre conditions .
appointed the on friday doctors are yet to produce a report before 10 march 2010 , in which they give clearly declared as to whether and to what times are liliane bettencourt can have found in a state of weakness .
i believe it will prove to be these investigations .
i will talk to it , the lawyer said by mrs bettencourt , me georges kiejman , after the of negotiation .
what the lawyer by françoise bettencourt - meyers , me olivier metzner concerned , it is very satisfied with the decision of the court of justice .
this is an excellent piece of news ( ... ) . the opinion will prove that he has manipulated ( banier ) this old lady , the must be protected , confirmed it .
since two years ago , the only daughter of liliane bettencourt a criminal action against françois - marie banier , photographer and allroundkünstler , and the weakness of your mother accuses him , for years to have exploited in order to grants of a total of eur 1 billion in the form of bankschecks , insurance policies or paintings being cheated .
its part , has had liliane bettencourt always be refuted , to have been manipulated by the photographers , looking at the you as a longstanding friend .
although the court the admissibility of the action taken by mrs bettencourt - meyers should examine , the plaidoyers of lawyers on friday have led to a major familiendebakel .

françoise since its marriage i have never more able to speak ' .
the public prosecutor of nanterre is once again of the opinion that the plaintiff has had no right to respond , in the way , above all , because a vormundschaftsrichter in the last days ago , rejected their request , to initiate a judicial procedure to safeguard against their mother .
liliane bettencourt ' is fully rechtsfähig , is not under protection and has no guardian .
no one has the right , to act on their behalf ' , confirmed the representative of the public prosecutor , mrs marie - christine daubigney .
the court has now decided to deliver a verdict , after the process on the admissibility of mme bettencourt - meyers has taken place .
revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ... in vain
for more than a decade , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place given ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
these demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future - oriented view ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company on an equal footing alongside the customers .
use the very conditional internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , stimulate this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i fear not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after a number of a rather roundabout way priority concerned , to do this , ... what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take by intellectuals comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
thus , and by it suggests that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in an attitude to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any consideration to integrate or practice of managing a fundamental minutes : for the wage - earners is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
moment , take only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place place .
so , it creates an fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .

in addition , that it presents itself as the ' kosmopolit ' , such as " he always has power ' , ' it as an american president spoken ' , when he pointed out that the europeans ' as live in a sicherheitsblase , which they have not created themselves and for their protection not do so much ' , so gerson .
among the few , not staunch called rights of the former un ambassador , john bolton , a hawk the bush - era , the speech at the website of the national review as " boring , highfalutin and inspirationslos online " .
on the left of the president shows the democratic representative dennis kucinich concerned , as barack obama defended the recourse to the armed forces .
packaged it under the guise of justice to the war is the massacre of the innocent quite simply , it warns justify .

the new york times is of the opinion that obama " the necessary discourse proclaimed " and called his speech as ' bleak and exemplary at the same time ' .

can the schneeeinbruch come
a properly knackigen winter , it is , what is wolfgang brauburger wishes .
not because it wants to bully the citizen , says the winterdienstleiter the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole automotive try and control can learn .
at the weekend might be so far it according to the weather forecast for the first time .
330 staff and more than 120 vehicles are standing prepared , in order to snow and ice to care .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
snow cover the whole country as soon as it in frankfurt and the level zero temperatures , 20 will have the so-called a - routes with großstreufahrzeugen out of the bag , explained brauburger .
include approximately hauptverkehrs and transit as the new way and the hanauer roads .
but also feuerwehrzufahrten , public local passenger transport routes , pedestrian avenues , and routes with inequality , such as the atzelbergstraße .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
should the around 1040 kilometres in need in a maximum of three hours ago with feuchtsalz is responsible , the better , be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are freely until the berufsverkehr launching ' .
difficult shall it , if it only at 7.30 in snowing .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , are feeder - and erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - roads belong , in the number .
have the final priority sides - and roads .
complaints where it will give , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings , as a priority are removed .
the fes are usually in order to all of the cycle paths might not be concerned about .
there is a particular in frankfurt , of 22 until 4.30 p.m. , above all the bridges in the watchful eye , says brauburger .
because it is on these quickly glätte also recognise that , whenever the temperature falls below two degrees , the streuer .
called in needs this will also of the police .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae saw from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science by the thursday .
about 215 million years ago , the animal lived in today 's new mexico , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on the ghost ranch in the north new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i , reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
some of the bones identified the researchers quickly as new .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals together .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . "
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
particularly spectacular , this fund is not , but it confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils , however , are incomplete , why is the classification of these ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and stegosaurus were .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
he is an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae found the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , have .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column apparently partly with air filled .
tawa is the oldest and most savage theropode with luftsäcken , randall irmis says .
as the relatives huge sauropoden line also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
separated so early , the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , at the time nor is it the superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two more , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
can the three not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in today 's poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says .
his opinion , a distorted picture of because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are maintained , while , on other continents is scarcely something to be found .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still puzzling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat nor with many other reptiles , for example with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with many other echsen .
towards the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species that during the term ' affinities ' on the border of the i on the jura ausstarb .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs , incidentally , the other reptiles but not .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped 150 million years later a meteorite impact of a group of animals to flourish , which are also already in the i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .

long years it was considered secret city , for western visitors inaccessible .
selenograd , one of the capital moscow ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
applies the community with its today 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .

it is about a continuous scientific exchange .
but it is also about economic relations .
firms of the fiz will make it possible , to gain a foothold in the growing russian market .
vice versa in germany to russian wissenschaftsfirmen orders scrape together .
selenograd is the seat major russian research institutes and businesses .

stuttgart brake
be stuttgart 21 the dimension is not even set high enough .
for the supporters of the project it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe with lines , the end up in the middle of the city , at the time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed , locomotives from behind forward umzuspannen .
raking , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe should disappear : in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will now actually tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , no longer are compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have realized that it in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city almost unaffordable is to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with train drivers operating locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
power with the railways , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , the is the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , the freight transport to strengthen as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly also many impinge on numerous other rail .
good eur six billion in schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
as a whole sixty greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the extension of the good 180 kilometres long route cutting through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
urgently needed would be to push , to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
will the rheintalstrecke for the real bottleneck to the international freight transport : in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
has the national government in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs [ hessischer rundfunk ] ( vgh ) will go to banning night flights in revision .
instructed the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition have experts , is the more than 400 pages full vgh - judgment legally to assess , said economics minister , mr dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh on these days in kassel had justified in writing that the country in the case of the north - west planned construction of the runway at frankfurt airport the night flights new rules must .

the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this postponement and urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision in the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their made before the election promise to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is hellishly difficult , if we must keep his word , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in an allusion to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
an examination precise legal need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , said stefan müller ( fdp ) .
so , as you representing the opposition , would be the statements of his group to banning night flights never have been .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than had been thought .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
wanted yesterday evening the body on the personalie vote .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
however , there were a confirmation by the sender for this not - officially , in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , the zdf - intendanten markus schächter not to damage further , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the outcome of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
two weeks ago , was schächter with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board failed .
only seven members languages are in favour of brender , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already signalled , brender not in office confirm to want to .
had the organise resistance against the editor of the hessische prime minister roland koch .
with the argument , would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
until shortly before the elections , it therefore protests , in which the political influence on plaguing the zdf was .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
person to
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and the frankfurter rundschau .
1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .

the greens , after the defeat brenders announced , on wednesday , has been elected by the branchenblatt medium magazine the journalists of the year , a complaint of unconstitutionality .
koch adversary in the management board , the rhineland - pfälzische prime minister kurt beck , stated in the last week , the countries should change the zdf - state treaty , so that personalvorschläge of intendanten cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
a withdrawal of party from the colleges of supervisors of the zdf castle , however , also beck from .
brenders heir peter frey had recommended the management board with a wise move - by he the body immediately after the brender - stepping down , strongly criticised for that .
thanks to this belegs journalistic independence was both schächter it without loss of face for the post of chefredakteurs nominate and also by the management board choose , without in the suspicions to come , to coax a partisans into office .
in the parteiarithmetik will frey already classified as the liberal left - wing .

less tests
since the beginning of the student protest in june bear rectors culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule with only a exam , " it is said in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction in prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should a " trend be stopped , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
should also be the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules as content to examine are ' strict ' , if " unnecessary einengungen the students in the election of the
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
should apply the rules in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses .
these must be every five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .
the culture ministers had urged the countries in the october ' with emphasis ' , so to exert influence on the agencies that the stofffülle not too big and prüfungsregime is not to strict .
in individual länder , universities and colleges of higher education with landesministerien have already agreed on the appropriate measures .

the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with an undergraduate degree allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .

almost at the same time with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the despicable of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , so far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
securitate in its - acts have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all at the time for him , " markel bailed out sensitive points ' .
it is a moral need him , this remark to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , be speculation and probably also in some case have known , which klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
thwarted a systematic information is in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the birthler - authority appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate - files ( cnsas ) was only set up in 1999 , the launch of files was rather since then however slow .
only since 2005 there is a law , which regulates management of the files .
securitate that the influence of former - members in romania are still very wide is , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate chairman from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
its infamy of power said is able to express its opinion quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable issues .
why only now ? whom was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and will be shame determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .
sättigungsbeilage champions league
it felt , as if because it is precisely a smart gekleideter außendienstler from a very nice christmas , on the a sports goodies had distributed , as the new vfb - coach of the christian gross in monitoring of a orange plastic bag ausrüsters a quarter after midnight in a herbeigerufene c - class rose . ¨

my pleasure at the fulminanten commencement of the babbel - so successor remained ignorant behaviour .
not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time self- confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives had .
i am on the players received and have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , declared seelenklempner gross the more so simply sounding recipe for success , the under therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .
cranked up a certain magic he has , was babbel - supporters jens lehman , ' if in football is a new impulse , sometimes things happen , would have kept the they are not in favour of possible ' .
sami khedira , and the weeks after verletzungspause thanks to its dynamism straight to the best players found on the place wake , tried this ' phenomenon ' and ' with the proverbial " fresh wind of the operation of the new to describe superiors : ' he is a man who requires decisive action and discipline .
this is what we need in the current situation . "
under babbel had it been lacking obviously .
the vfb stuttgart is not yet about the berg , warns sportvorstand horst heldt
the vfb stuttgart needs but , above all , constancy .
as gross its proponents were because also players and managers before , the victory against a ersatzgeschwächte and to preclude completely excessive demands of the romanian guests to overestimate .
they have won also in glasgow , before four days later in leverkusen the 0:4 the evil awakening has come , khedira was to concerns .
horst heldt and sportvorstand warned that , although a saisonziel been achieved , but the other is still a long way off .
we are not yet out of the woods .
that heldt 40th anniversary of his birthday , even after the first heimsieg been not for three months after the prospect of celebrate was , in the events the weekend was , in the form of a immediately before spielbeginn television broadcast interviews of gate - keepers jens lehman fresh invigorate .
there are decisions , the other meetings , and not the jens countered heldt the harsh criticism lehmanns .
had the accused of the board leadership shown and the trainerwechsel under pressure from pubertierender fans i have decided .
be also that free day after play had been withdrawn , , lehman as a sign of lack of sovereignty and resentment .
lehmanns statements are " characterised by minded egotism , " keilte heldt back and consequences for the schlussmann announced .
you will no longer friends for life , the two 40 years .
after all , but with all the other , they have agreed that , without the preparatory work by the abgelöste trainerteam playing the strong and combative idea would not have been possible .
babbel and his assistants have " a large proportion of the success ' , said heldt and lehman voices - and also the man who agreed to with the plastic bag .

traumwelten
some people see in wachem state images and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drogenrausch blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
as long as it happens in their sleep , everything is ok .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must have the wildest ideas and phantasiegebilden of these unchecked .
however , those who experienced in the period traumartige conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , applies in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in the drogenrausch .
blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes , paint pictures or novels , to write , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream , madness and reality are becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in many different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
, even if the trigger and effect are different may , the visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of neural , of the brain , led by dopamin , noradrenalin , serotonin and acetylcholin - derailed and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disturbed .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
more about him the force of gravity has no powers
the context of delusion and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , stated 1861 a " great similarity of the irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no powers more about him that he is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
enters it senses a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting him , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain in the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
he it can no longer tolerate , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet to concerned here with a noose and consolidating them to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loud speaker and the noose around the neck to recede .
jumps .
tightening the noose unravels .
cry this is a lesson to you , the voices of trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , ' go in the clinic , and let you cure ' .
henning t. is 40 years old , it has today six acute psychosis seen , the last lies 2 years back in the past , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
psychosis i have in the worst fear and deepest despair , seen he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia ; at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second illness after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected more often than not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - , can lead relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten bracket .
's perception of reality in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says professor thomas fox , oberarzt the clinic for general psychiatry in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , it will , in a similar dream , of the events overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich is generally have not possible , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , " remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
hallucinatory the obsessive quest thoughts and be based in the reality , the verfremdung of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage available .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of mother during pregnancy , for example , explained fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , is also the first manifestiere does not even for many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
hotly is if our brain
is the stupidity , psychotiker suffering among its hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get them , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical side - effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
these include mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , for castes , are from gedächtnisinhalten together , the normally be withheld .
they arise , when areas in which have sensory are processed , überaktiv are blocked or too little ; if our brains hotly is or , if stimulation too is missing .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they reside in a small town in mecklenburg - west pomerania and visited secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
in the break it can happen that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair it addresses .
when it replies , the schoolmate look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
they consider the timid girls to be a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as they alongside them can see and hear the girl in the bank .
you can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
am i crazy ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
night , the phenomena are often frightening
often the mere empty words are also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other aural and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
night , the phenomena are often frightening .
when you in their dark room waiting for the sleep , which is , of course , far too rarely and come too late , it can often not distinguish between , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which sees them , the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
parents and friends tells you nothing of them , which would you consider for crazy .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
last year she has the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
before a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since it has included on the internet contact with the psychologists castes , exactly she knows that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likelihood , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
began their hallucinations , when you with 13 learned that the man that they papa calls , for as long as they can remember , is not your leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
nighttime images also sees castes as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients ' , therefore , that the hallucinations also as a special value ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and psychotherapy of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness is also a work of art out of desperation .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , is a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish by the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself - and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in the reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
he is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive is condemned to immobile .
visited a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears foreign times and places : they experience as bettlägerigen , old mann , on board of a zugsanatoriums , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under nobles , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
will of a greeks on the motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a korean mafioso .
he is entirely to be done in the imagined that everything is real , later in memory .
distinguish these internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is another state , be he describes experience .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
goes beyond the intensity of this erlebens the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
ultimately , show oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch , how fragile our internal reflections of external reality also in the ensure are .
any change of the bewusstseinszustandes , to summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of , what we call reality . "
an experience which , may even be enriching .

mazda3 i stop : environmentally - friendly athleticism
mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , on the behalf i - stop , introduced at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop - system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats an excellent good ergonomics and stop good offer .
playing a game of lenkrads is also excellent .
look at in the further of unity , the from the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colors red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign is .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
without further can therefore be said that both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , converted both japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a groβräumiger and clear alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by its quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who are not many kilometres a year , , these should drive i - stop with petrol engines whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model selected sportive a special , since it a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung has .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .
auβerdem this version there are also , in as if it were not yet enough of resources , the package premium , which contains the following for an additional eur 1 500 : in addition to further elements , above all , the lernfähigen bixenon - headlamps and the soundsystem bose with cd - lader .
conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
he is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also the i - stop version buy , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
be the only negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day in the new highest fahrspass .
a first with a great deal of ' glamour '
l. example is the red tepppich the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
attending the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy , more than ever . ( photographs : gtresonline ) .
elegantly our ' pe ' , as always , opted for a dark " lady ' - dress .
the promises made in fonpeek
peek is äuβerst limited , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without an option , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time to chose one of the products of the year .
it is on the straβe to see , is unlikely to be , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success so that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same limits , as his american counterpart , however , there is a surprise crisis .
of the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 in the month , includes roaming for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , already know , what it means , to forego all the data they need in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi while you sit ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , you will need a pretty doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe remained almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small machine as fonpeek ( ; it but always astonishing is that it has the name fon , even though it does not have a wifi while you sit / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as the peek already offering in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails read with the telephone that .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting , however time able to see a computers with the same system .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and a mantle of the colour and has the same colour re- elected , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , there was a clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two differ about clothes but very are produced in the stoffart , from which they are .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten along with .
also the accessories were , different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time although a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the european institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their motherhood .
open the study , that it very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of profession they exercise .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house no other work they do , only part-time work or no fixed contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women of those aged between 35 in and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer , to achieve this and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem has also the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " says the csic - researcher , margarita delgado .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey is the age the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be found in women the the same age .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or 32,1 for the first time mother .
then there is , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way round and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of fuenlabrada walking , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the weight of the just six kilo is in fact , and then from the blue missed you him two fußtritte and injured it so difficult .
our indignation , one can never be enough words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
added to that is the erstickungsanfall , the a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , wanted to chastise than they these people because of the incident , it feared even for their own lives , because if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with each make , the weaker than he himself is .
usually the incident occurred in a calm neighbourhoods at five o'clock in the afternoon on an ordinary tuesday .
all day long , the dog has geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
led us to our indignation about what has happened , this incident .
can we not understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animal fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
do we know where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

sale of vans is on the increase to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for vans something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is much more importantly , they are so that the first increase at all after 22 successive months with constant decline , gemäβ the by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 are , that a particularly bad verkausjahr with a reduction of 60 % in respect of the previous year was .
however , we must bearing in mind that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole were 95.853 vehicles sold , in this number , however , all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds which affect the most , because the demand even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in almost 100 % of all cases the purchase by a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this panorama and in the difference to cars , have the financial support for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , wish to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday again had ganvam remind you that it is absolutely necessary by the state , including a special attention in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
predicted the autohändlervereinigung for the year 2010 a similar year as the just last , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining vehicles a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , to improve the protection of fuβgänger , but can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the event of a critical bremsmanövers , which the system by the bremsstärke outlined by the drivers on the brake recognises to exercise .
however , is not until the end this pressure from this system .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
against the bremshilfe intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and thus also the bremsabstand , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study by the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be prevented , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss is already inevitable , is concerned , the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .
general motors postpones the plan for opel until january

nick reilly , the new chairman of gm europe , namely wants to achieve that the side affected their assent on each individual point of the plan is already in advance .
and for this reason , it may be that the final document , that first , the workers , and then the governments of the countries , in which there are works , is presented , until the beginning of 2010 will postpone .
dementgegen will by gm assured that it in the next few days will take a decision regarding the sale of saab .
since it is not surprising that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the american car manufacturers , so that this a decision as soon as possible .
gm is , to be in contact with a number of possible new buyers .
one of these buyers could be geely , the also would like to be able to buy up volvo , however , the option of the skyper - dutch manufacturer sports , which has the backing of the russian group converg , attracting an ever - greater .
if it should come to an agreement with any of these buyers , gm could some assets to the chinese baic sell .
saab end of the year , the decision to schlieβen , if it is not been sold until then , will continue to maintain .
at the wheel of the porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their latest and very expensive jewel used by the engineers the boxster s as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now puts only 1.275 kilos on the balance .
abandoning in order to create something you as a first on the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a manuellem powered zeltleinwanddach , so that alone has it ; thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning 13 once again ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilo have been reduced ; saved by the installation of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also been exacerbated by the relinquishment of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe by handles from substance the lack of kilo achieved .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , on bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
reducing its weight has but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since long we have already no longer such a small and light model probegefahren , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed , are .
it is a small athlete , able to do this , flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car that they should do everything to what we him with our hands to the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and it is doing so with the accuracy of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is very have been able and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that the motorgeräusche can change , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
brutally , regardless of whether the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
on the asphalt alter the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , quite was already damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route virtually nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trajectories of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found this morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a motor car , with whom you have an indescribable fahrspass has , as there are rarely otherwise have it and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

pays the baskonia to victory in itself israel
the caja laboral celebrated , despite the many fancy players in the team mr against mr ivanovic , an excellent triumph with 82 - 91 during his visit in the complicated fuβballfeld of maccabi electra and so , on the first place within his group after the groβartigen appearance of mirza teletovic , with eight triple the best of his team was ( 29 in the assessment ) .
vitoria could the team from the important intemperate remarks by herrmann , oleson , huertas or micov by means of a very broad dose to use and replace teamwork , even if you wait until the bitter end to its victory muβten .
evaluated the great right from the perimeter with 16 triple maβgeblich contributed to their final victory in .
began with the leadership of the blauroten the game , which is in the tip of the very beginning on the anzeigentafel .
since the first four baskets the team from vitoria already came from the perimeter out , we have already guess that they had come to the playing field with well - reheated handgelenken .
it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , to further until to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic began as the best of his team with 13 points , to highlight , also wennn ' minus six ' assessment of the mote can already guess lieβen that this would not be the best evening of brazilian .
nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer remind you once again that not everyone on their level playing field wins , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' attack time and again they came back to the game .

many thanks !
after the tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets the prevailing mood on the markets has been , on the markets is returned the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , since this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker take decisions on an inherently uncertain future .
the maβnahme it was used to stabilise the markets , the debt with the to pay direktkauf of assets and indirectly to the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan , and germany , the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of germany leads the countries of the euro area .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
damages on the other hand a degree of uncertainty is not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , the once again tried had , in the leaders of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits led to the loss of jobs , had slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , via a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
hides a government , which the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made it in italy after berlusconi and sócrates in portugal after durão barroso .
it makes no sense that ecofin hungary at the beginning of the year from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens to the need for auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to large sums of money , and , this would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same pace as the european unternehmensboni increase .
reduce should , however , the european differences , to continue to increase and the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . while the volume of this early indicators a groβteil of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not a long life span .
once again it has very the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as " caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the european parliament 's subcommittee on , where in these few days the strategy in relation to spain 's energy supply will debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , gave galán of the press some stichpunkte about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola by 2020 , spain must 50 billion from this date euround a further 60 billion between now and 2030 invest , under the pretext that the current atomic power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola of the opinion that it is , however , no longer should invest , but in into an increase in the energy distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , on the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more are needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by other ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , such as incentives for the national kohleverbrauch to create , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle it .

this as a fourth us president he receives , but only when the third , receiving directly to the price in office .
the white house already make that obama will be speaking in the adoption of the price on the war in afghanistan .
the president does not want to avoid this issue , because he knows that it takes on the price as a president , will lead to the time war in two countries .
the war he has a few days ago compounded by sending more troops to afghanistan , which none of its critics forget to stress .
at the ceremony , obama was also given the golmedaille , and of the diploma the cheque on ten million swedish kronor ( approximately 24 million czech crowns ) .

the sortier - be smell not well in brno müllcontainer
in prague , people can the drinks packaging sorting , in the südmährischen villages will again be in step and is the sortier - müllcontainer .
and in brno ?
there should be set aside a few minutes ago , in order to find the appropriate garbage can .
i will not say that the waste in brno would be not to operate at all .
but it is me , al whether the ratsherren is insufficient take care of this problem , even if we are the second biggest city in the republic .
brno in the abfalltrennen finds itself in the urwaldliga , not only because we as citizens here in the sortiercontainer always only dispose of paper , glass and plastic must , but , above all , through the mülltonnenanzahl for such waste .
you have some time in the centre , for example , tried to dispose of the pet bottles in a sammelkorb ?
this is just art , above all , it needs time and nerve .
the only accidentally found in point , which , until now , i have taken , is the mährenplatz towards the goose .
mr onderka to his colleagues us not get angry , but that is far too little to me .
apart from the fact that the waste also in other parts is not a honigschlecken .
whole ranks of my friends sorting that is why the waste would prefer not to do anything .
from laziness .
it is that you too far to the garbage can .
i am not surprised .
i have even after the celebration of offered to dispose of , a few glass and plastic bottles .
but on the konicova streets in sight , i have not seen any farbmülltonnen .
fortunately the straßenbahnfahren i came to the right place .
but almost on the waste expired .
this is but is still represents the centre of brno , thus making the whole city , is not true ? !
however , ecology and any kind of aesthetic the brünner socialists probably cold .
they buy a eishockeyliga prefer the city , the us in the whole of the republic disgrace power , rather than a few garbage cans to buy more and to offer the sorting of other raw materials for a cleaner brno .
i am glad that i was able to confirm my assumption also with official statistics , after i have looked for a while on the internet .
according to the data of the society be really eko - com is brno in whole district südmähren the worst since .
the " democrat paroubek placed ' - budget has the money for pensions and sick from
after the left party in spite of the opinion of the government the farmers and officials , more money , in the budget is no more money for pensions , sickness and bauspargeschäft available .
but also for the staatsschuldzinsen or for the international gerichtsstreite .
this causes which have more problems , the in the government in the second half of next year will be , the finance ministers , edvard janota says .
the salary increase for some groups as the socialists and communists have enforced , they expect to see the government , the money for the sensitive expenditure , pensions or for the sickness in addition , borrows . ' that is only a postponement of the problems in the future , minenlegen , " says janota .
from the loans will be nähmlich always pay higher interest rates , and we must eventually have to return the money .
too much to the choice , where the treasury is empty .
if the social benefits or costs for the state ownership , to increase the tax are not be reduced .
for all the more money , which the left party now was : the fire service , the teachers , the farmers .
and , later , also for their children .
to the pensions or the sickness benefit , of whose account 1.8 billion have disappeared , people must have no fear , you will have this money .
but at the price that the state debt - in the next year will be even more so in the public coffers lack not only 163 billion , but far more .
despite the efforts of the minister janota will increase the debt ever more quickly and this , too , together with the cost and interest rates .
the state is the need for the money to compensate , then already will no longer suffice to increase the vat only slightly or to cut the maternity benefits , as the government in her gegendefizit package .
because of the geldabwälzung in next year , be in favour of certain wahlvolksgruppen five billion for the development of the lack of motorways and railways .
it is mainly the sections gained from the competition , which we can no longer new projektieren and perhaps cheaper .
most received , which is also not free of charge .
this means delay or suspension of thirty great buildings , is also the europe - money , the spokesman of the warns of transportation , karel hanzelka .
the cssd has proposed that it solves the flow of money afraid - it takes up the cez - aktiendividenden , in which the state owners of the majority and then , from this is the money will be thrown out in the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of dividend is never certain and it is not a source of endless .
in last year , flowed from cez 18 billion in the budget .
every year the environmental damage - liquidationenbezahlt from the dividends , the pensionskonto expanded , and this money is also a reserve for the planned pension reform .
with this trick rising in addition , under the rules of the eu the actual budget deficit to the nieveau of 5.7 % gdp .
this brings to an end the carnival of the changes but not yet .
almost three billion , the budget for various compensation for victims of communism , and of crime or for expenditure for the gerichtsstreite , even for the bausparen .
whether the state of manage without this money is not sure .
this is a pure lottery .
if we lose an international gerichtsstreit , then we need to pay anyway , this makes janota clear .
the minister then needs to save the money ressortintern or in the worst case the regierungsbudgetreserve attack .
a hundred million lack also for the already begun zweimilliardenprojekt ' treasury ' , that is intended to supervise , on- line to allow , for what the einzelbehörden spend the money .
the first stage starts in january .
the finance ministers should find the money not elsewhere , the project should be stopped and in this case , sanctions janota warned .
their next smartphone will dominate two operating systems
the americans count for the future with a mobile phone , on which the users can switch by pressing a single button between different management systems .
the plans submitted see promising .
it is , only to push a button enough , and in the change from windows mobile will within a few seconds android .
the american society wants to precisely such a possibility vmware imagine , in particular , are focused on the development of the virtual softwares for the computer .
we allow them , on the mobile phone two anwenderprofile , at the same time , to carry out .

schneemangel plaguing hotel owners on the mountains
scneelose runways make sorgenn not only the riesengebirgen - residents .
the lack of snow discourages people also of the appointment of the skiaufenthalte in hotels and pensions .
we can therefore in giant still free room for all wintertermine incl . christmas and new year 's eve .
our sides are often visited .
by the people go offers , the prices , but now they are afraid to appoint , binding .
and if you call us , you ask whether , in our opinion , this year 's christmas immediately to snow or ' , the operators will be on matsch " of the information spindl.info , martin jandura .
who the new year 's eve - wants to stay in the spindelmühle exactly according to his ideas , should not hesitate more with the appointment .
who preferred the save and in which the quality of the stay only in second place , of the can try to make a few days to wait .
the spindelmühle - hotelbesitzer provide now for the silvestertag mostly only wochenaufenthalte in .
i think that you are going to try to ensure that , for a time to sell this , but then also have they yield , and , at shorter times .
and then quickly the free room will wane , jandura estimated .
free beds in all winterterminen always provides always also the travel agency ingtours in vrchlabi .
the us most interested in now weihnachtswoche , which is not yet been sold out .
in our offer is approximately half of the places still freely .
therefore , have we already have some cheaper weihnachtsaufenthalte prepared for the last moment , the director of the travel agents ingtours , petr schiefert .
the silvestertag in giant the vrchlabi - travel agency can also offer here , but there is less free seats .
good paragraph will also find the first fortnight in february , the remaining wintertermine be sold on average .
in this year is the interest for the winteraufenthalte also by that , in a negative impact on giant is always no snow .
the people are waiting , whether snow falls .
no one wants to spend the year in the mountains without snow .
should the runways within a week , will also be verschneit , be the christmas to be sold out schiefert says .
the other way round and a little better than in last year , it succeeds in the room in the hotel horizon in pecpod snezkou to occupy .
we are about five per cent better than in the previous year .
on silvestertag and christmas we only have a few free rooms .
there is a great deal of interest in the polish holidays in janua , and in february , the business also well run , will be informed of the director of the best pec hotels , karel rada .
for 80 % of the silvesteraufenthalte is also the hotel omnia zentralparkplatz in janske lazne occupied .
on the other hand , to christmas will remain in the most recent hotel in janske still the half of the beds free lazne .
very pleasant surprise us in the january this year , for which we are already around 60 % occupied at the present time .
is a bit weaker the february in the meantime , but at the moment is , if the snow , certainly also increases the interest in the visits to the giant , the director of the hotels omnia , erik sporysch .
waiting for a greater schneebescherung the giant mountains - hotelbesitzer now .
on thursday it should be allowed to cool down and if it comes to rainfall , the snow on the mountains should be .
but it is intended to again a warming , informed jiri jakubsky come from the location of the czech wetteramtes in hradec kralove .
us : repetition is mother of wisdom
it is almost strange , schülerstrebsamkeit barack obama , with which the president with his reputation of the brightest , the strategy of his predecessor in the afghanistan - issue repeatedly , the he felt even the most stupid .
when he finally its afghanistan - awaited doctrine ausschwitzte , it was that he on the kopierpapier from the bush - iraq szenariovor abschrieb three years .
not only that it in the text itself on several occasions used the expression ' as in the iraq ' , it has even the name of the bush - declaration of january 2007 as the name of its own declaration : ' new vorwärtsweg ' used , without hesitation .
he has even three years ago , the idea of bush - send fresh troop contributions in the troubled by the civil war iraq , as the ' irresponsible and criticized in their conclusions karastrophische decision ' .
on the following months showed , however , that the bush - of the recommendations of military personnel strategy was the only possible and to this extent very successful today to be in the news that more not talking about iraq at all .
for the reputation of bush 's objectively has not been improved , because he has his successor hintergelassen a much dankbarere starting point , when it was to be expected .
in afghanistan barack obama hopes of the fact that the miracle repeating itself .
in order to increase in the contingent of troops have him again asked the military , above all , the oberkommandeur of the afghanistan - operation general stanley mccristal , even despite the subordinationsgewohnheiten criticised the vacillating protect hard in the white house .
he called for 40 000 soldiers , in order to be able to reverse the situation for the better .
the president hesitated three months , but it is on a better idea , and so he has the general wenistens they have been cheated of 10 000 soldiers .
from europe he has the commitment for another 5,000 pressed , at least with 10 000 , even if he originally expected .
to be of the whole obama strategy is highly problematic project , to withdraw the troops from afghanistan already in 18 months , and to complete this process within three years . the whole obama doctrine leaves than answers more questions .
some of us , doubt that the increase in the same effect as halved the measure will bring in iraq .
also , despite the war of fratricide of recent years , the iraq - society is relatively well - structured , their leaders honour the values .
the afghan situation is characterised by the kontraindikation - it can rely on anyone agreements and there will be no .
in these conditions , it is difficult , prepare for the afghan security forces , the usual every day , are , to change their mind .
the political institutions , even if they have been set up , only scheinbauten remain formally correct , behind which the patriarchal stammbeziehungen further towards can be .
the balance of interests between the various ethnic groups is unusually complicated , particularly due to confusion of the situation , which complicate the pakistan - and iran - influences even further .
also the building of a " competent state ' , which is the minimalist aim of the whole operation , is very unrealistic .
time horizon of the obama strategy by its voluntarism
over the last eight years , only in the situation in afghanistan has deteriorated further and now it is on the brink of explosion .
believe that the small soldiers , which broke out in the war on the ' frühheimkehr ' are here , a miracle , can only create a really romantic soul , which is not influenced by facts .
from the political view is the datumssetzung for the withdrawal mere irresponsibility , because the taliban , as will enter into the indirect confession the american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of europeans to participate in the disputes in afghanistan , is running out .
also not explain to europe 's politicians can and want to their voters , the way in which the security of germany or italy linked to the war in the hindu kush - gebirgsvorland .
another possible factor , the radically can influence the situation , is the development of the events in iran .
should continue to worsen the situation and the increased sanctions in the iranians not work , for the united states a very serious question arises , whether the problem is not with troops to resolve .
this is a question that has to be answered in the period , in which america after obama to proceed siegerabzug from afghanistan .
any solution will also mean a dramatic turn of the afghan situation .
the only sticking plaster for barack obama is the fact that there is still remain three years until the presidential election , and therefore is still enough time , so that it can resort to a other strategy , fallls this prove totalausfall would .

for him , was the most important to shake hands with mandela .
i have noticed , when i schüttele you the hand , i accept their energy , it will be transferred , and i had the feeling that , i know what they are feeling he said .

this time launched ' bulava ' from the nuclear submarine dmitri donskij , under the the water of the white sea , .
this raketentyp allows the launch of the submarine - boat .
therefore , is probably that the mysterious light on nordwegen caused by an unspecified fliegendes object was actually the damaged ' bulava ' .
furthermore , the norwegians have for the first moment not doubt that it is a russian missile .
the generals has not clearly opposed this diesesmal and claims that we can talk of a failure .
the first two stages of the missile were not from and affected by the accident was only the third stage .
in the previous cases were damaged the engines straight in the first phase .
even if no teststart without mistake , holds the leadership of the ministry of defence only six of the thirteen for success .
the almost 50 success met with optimism and so the generals will continue to say , therefore , that the " bulava " even without problems will be flying and even to ten hyperschall - nuclear warheads will bear with a weight of max . 1.15 tonnes .

czech discovery : a substance , even in the capitalism hiv viruses , tempered like steel capitalism
the team of czech and the german scientists testing , the new links should stop the spread of hiv viruses in the body .
the main advantage of improved substance is that he also in the viruses , which are already resistant to medicines .
this fact outweigh against the disadvantage that the link in usual virus - variants is not so much , as one of the existing medicines .
the disease of aids can be cured not yet .
the patients the medikamentenzusammenstellung but can extend the life and the increase in the number of hiv viruses in body prevent .
but their use will be accompanied by a number of side - effects .
incomplete oppression of the virus reproduction , has also the development sg . resistentviren to result , against the no medicines are more effective .
the work of the three institutions of the academy of sciences cr experts , by the vscht ( both chemically - technological university ) prague and by the university in heidelberg opens the way in which we can deal with the virus - resistance .
you have shown that the substances referred to as metalokarborane act on the eiweißstoff , is the responsible for proliferation of the hiv viruses .
the metalokarborane are links on boron , hydrogen , carbon and cobalt .
these links block the virus reproduction , in other ways than all the medicinal products used today , therefore , they can overcome the resistance - problem .
in their work the scientists to new capitalism improved capitalism connections , the on the basis of the knowledge of molekularmechanismus their commitment at the viruses - eiweißstoff were prepared .
the metalokarborane have a unique three - dimensional structure : two vielfächige cages , the from boron , hydrogen - and carbon - atoms , and by a metal - nuclear power , in this case cobalt , are linked .
heimtückisches and lasting virus
hiv protease is eiweißstoff of the hiv virus , the for the life cycle of the virus is essential .
without the hiv virus - caused by the hiv protease division would not tyres infektionsvirenpartikel arise .
if we eliminate the hiv protease tasks , we also in the body of the patients from the proliferation of the virus , explaining the scientists in the press release , by the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry of the academy of sciences cr has been issued .
in the work in the wissenschaftszeitung journal of medicinal chemistry was published , describing the scientists whole ranks of the links , in which two couples the cages ( see table ) are linked by a brief organic chain , the then continues systematically to be changed .
, but rather weaker reliable
the impact of this number of substances against the hiv - protease wurdne in a test tube tested , even against their constant ( resistant ) variants which have been won of hiv - infected patients .
the impact of the metalokarborane in the usual enzyme - variant is not so much , as in the medicines used clinically , however , will not lose their impact on the resistentvarianten , against the the medicines used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism , as well as their further characteristics , such as the biological and chemical stability , low toxicity and the possibility of further chemical shaping , power metalokarboranen interesting links for further research , addressed to the development of effective medicines against hiv says pavlina rezacova , leader of the laboratories for strukturbiologie of the institute for organic chemistry and biochemistry and of the institute for molecular genetics is of the academy of sciences .

the parliament has the money for staatsbeamtengehälter , for to the maintenance of social benefits , and for increased direct payments to farmers .
the government in the proposals of the social democrats told that it conceals the budget deficit increase .
czech republic should with a backlog of 163 billion kronor economies .
the ods has left the chamber before the vote , it is also the wish of the government , because the amended budget is only a less bad version of the budgetprovisoriums . frase need clear
disappointment and futility
the finance ministers , edvard janota , has spoken on his disappointment and a sense of futility , while prime minister jan fischer has mentioned , that the government the current situation still judged .
necas is convinced that , if janota seriously threatened with his resignation for the case , that the amendments were adopted , would look different the situation .
in accordance with the czech television has janota for monday registered after the government with the prime minister .
he has indicated that he be considered further remain in office .
reason to do so is his disappointment on the verhandugn of the budget .
the extent to which fishermen for the further battle with the budget deficit , so that , in accordance with necas the nominanten of the social democracy ( cssd ) , which imposed the changes in the budget , in the government had nothing to do .
the prime minister will also say clearly that he should resign , if parliament adopts continue to enhance deficit - laws , for example , concerning the , the sickness and pensions , or the dienstgesetzesnovelle .
topolanek : the nominated by ods ministers were wrong not
it is a matter of the prime minister , fishermen and the whole government .
the nominated by the ods ministers have not made mistakes , has stressed topolanek in a textmeldung from the united states .
it has mentioned that in some of the ministries in deputy function people sitting , the commit to top 09 , the voted against the budget .
necas stressed that , if fishermen darür decides , to the fight against to abandon the deficit - level of public finances , ' it is entirely logical and correct that it is based on the left - wing majority , which is currently in the parliament ' .
then it is supposedly with the support and civic tolerance can count not .
i have not thought about it , and if it will be now , then i shall be dealing with it , the nominated by the civil defence minister martin said bartak the journalists in parliament .
prime minister fishermen afternoon on the meeting of the european council flew to brussels .
the ods at the request of the prime minister resigned
at the same time , necas stressed that the ods probably on wednesday , in the house would vote against the amended budget , if the prime minister of the members of the civic would expressly ask that they enable the adoption of the budget .
we are not as orphans , then , we are not small children , so he responded to the question of whether the ods by their absence in the political negotiation on the budget of the leader of the party in parliament as well as in the czech republic has not been reduced .
i have not noticed that my vote would be lacking .
already renounced the mandate when i , i knew that it in next few months of the parliament and , above all , to bolshevism destruction everything would be positive , topolanek responded itself .

vaccination against pneumokokken free of charge and voluntarily
imfung against pneumokokken change from january the usual .
it should act as a first free of charge to the families and be voluntary .
however , already are taking the vote that the duty - vaccination would be more effective .
the preparations for the introduction of the free vaccination against culminate pneumokokken .
the arzneiinstitut is already implementing the maximum prices of vaccines , have to pay for the health insurance .
the experts are also on the impfungsverfahren in the clear .
new vaccination
vaccines for august free - children
from january children can be vaccinated against pneumokokken free of charge , which were born and later on 2 august last year .
the condition st that they have not received any impfdosis yet .
who with the vaccination has already started in last year or earlier , weiterewiederholungsimpfung itself must also pay .
the first impfdosis must be made between the 3 and 5 months old of the child .
already last year , a quarter of the families their children against pneumokokken vaccinate .
the parents paid 1 600 kroner and more for a dose .
for the vaccination of the youngest children are four doses required .
in the whole , the experts estimate that the health insurance for the impfdosen 300 , 000 to spend sek 450 000 per year .
they save but in the treatment , which would need children without vaccination .
until now , the state has spent for all flächenimpfungen of children around 500 000 per year .
the obligation - vaccination was introduced with the so-called janota package .
pneumokokken mittelohrentzündung , but also cause serious infections including gehirnhautentzündungen and blutvergiftung .
by pneumokokkeninfektionen die with us for investigation per year up to 28 children in hospital in 10 years of age .
outside of the czech republic , the duty - vaccination of children against pneumokokken was introduced in some 40 countries .
the vaccination will be duty ?
at the same time it is said that this could be vaccination in future duty .
from january paid in by the insurance and that this should be voluntary .
mentioned , that the obligation - vaccination would be better , for example , the leader of the citizens ' nahlas , mr rudolf kalovsky .
its association is already long term for the pneumococcal vaccination .
the experts at the international conference , which has been involved in our union , were not very satisfied that we have voluntary vaccination .
this is not very ideal .
on the other hand , we are glad that we have managed to enforce is , at least the .
i believe that this is the way , we must go now , led kalovsky .
the ministry of health does not want to change but the impfverfahren against pneumokokken .
in this moment we consider the not at all , be vlastimil spokesman said sesen .
the voluntary vaccination has their disadvantages , claim the doctors .
the chairman of the practical fachgesellschaft paediatricians , hana cabrnochova , is that a voluntary vaccination has its drawbacks .
if all the children would be vaccinated , then we could reflect on the reduction of wiederholungsimpfungszahl ' , in a situation in which the vaccine is so expensive , we understand the political decision that this was launched vaccination as a voluntary , " says allerdingst cabrnochova .
the experts expect that more than 80 % of the parents their babies against pneumokokken inoculated from next year .
the vaccination against pneumokokken is path - breaking it is also that this will be paid for the first - of the health insurance and not by the state .
the insurance should spend the money for the prevention , so that save it for further treatment , erkärt cabrnochova .
the doctors have to buy the vaccines itself .
but that is a concern of the practical paediatricians , concerns the the purchase the vaccines .
according to the original plans should be the vaccines bought by the insurance and the doctors who receive this at the same way , as well as other vaccines issued by the state to you .
a number of members feared , however , that the insurance as ' the money from the could krankenversicherungherausführen . "
the doctors buy the vaccines itself and will therefore have to wait until the insurance , you pay for them .
according to the estimates , the individual practical doctors will need to invest sek 40 000 per month , which is a significant amount of money .
this will not be easy , cabrnochova says .

the islam can be french ?
in a secular state , pluralism and pragmatism .
in a time for a ban on building in the swiss electorate voted in favour of minarets and the concern about the alleged islamisation of europe is widespread , john bowen , an american academics , has written a sound and thoughtful report on whether to muslims in one of the avowedly säkularisiertesten societies europe can be integrated -- and be integrated .
a number of readers will this new book from admiration for the last work of the author : ' why the french no headscarves love ' ( originaltitel : ' why the french don ' t like headscarves read ' ) ( 2006 ) , an elegant and densely argumentierenden study a contentious issue , the shared the country on one and a half decades and employees and their effects are still to today as well .
bowen 's neustes book offers a broader and kühneres range .
he not only , as a good anthropologist , would like to know what the politicians and the media , on the islam say in france , but what happens in the area really .
he has spent months in mosques , schools , and institutions , the now the 5 to 6 million muslims in france , as bowen calls it " islamic provide freedom ' .
it is a good listener , it is again debates between teachers and students about the issues , of most concern to you .
should a muslim in a mosque or a town hall marry ( or both ) ?
young muslims should be lectured on evolution and rights of homosexuals ?
can a muslim mrs marry a man non- ?
it is for a muslim , permissible to use a zinsorientiertes banking system , in order to get a mortgage ?
it is this seemingly mundane affairs gives , he claims , the daily life , in contrast to the political drama , the media .
the author , a new generation of imams acknowledges , teachers and intellectuals , none of them with a well - known behalf , possibly with the exception of tarik ramadan , a muslim - arab scholars and academics born in switzerland .
this new generation of trying to open up the debate on this , as it is possible , on the one hand , a good muslim and , on the other hand , a good citizens to be in a modern secular society .
they have not all arguments on their side .
the conservatives are suspicious of the idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists , questioned the bowen salafi with their counterparts , are often divided – advocates of the puristischen sunni islam , which in connection with saudi arabia – the today is a small but influential presence under europe show muslims .
bowen is of the opinion that muslim values could be compatible and french secularism .
however , an agreement requires a give and take on both sides .
it is to what extent french into political decision - makers ( and the intellectual elite , guarded the so passionate the separation of church and state ) really feel committed to pluralism .
it is a sign of that muslims may a rougher treatment as catholics , protestants and jews , the turn had to make their historic compromise with the secular republicanism .
it recognises a " tightening - up of the werteschrauben ' rather than a growing pragmatism .
the islam can be french ? in the aftermath of the read this book , it is inclined to say ' yes , but not yet ' .
the trostloseste outlook of the world
the arctic is changing more quickly and in more dramatic than any other umweltregion on earth .
the ice is disappearing , the it marks , with an alarming rate and adopted lives that can survive anywhere else .

admiral nelsons meeting with a polar bears as brave 14 -year-old fähnrich at sea , the only with the rifle butts of his muskete fought , is certainly a myth , but others are true .
young bears , which have been caught , as they schwammen behind the bodies of their recently killed mothers , have been put in zoos and circuses .
a zirkusaufführung at the beginning of the twentieth century showed 75 polar bears in a vision .

ironically , in the waters of the north of these two jagdnationen will remain the ice the longest .
in his new book ' after the ice ' ( originaltitel , " after the ice " ) provides alun anderson , a former editor of the wissenschaftsmagazins " new scientist ' , a clear and worrying description of the science of the arctic and , as a packenden insight into the future could develop .
not that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmosphärenwissenschaftler nor ozeanografen can explain the speed of appropriate changes .

the arrest of the american contractor will probably be the tensions between the communist government of the castro - brother in cuba and the obama government increase , the a " slow " rapprochement had sought to the improvement of relations with the island .
the news of the arrest of the new york times reported was first last friday .
the new us policy attaches importance to the fact that the united states to be a anything in return , if the cuban government concrete steps in this direction , such as release political prisoners and the creation of more room for opposition .

prüfungsdaten show persistent rassenkluft
the certificates to mathematikleistung were welcome good news for the public schools last week in washington d.c.
although the district of washington is still far behind the schools of the country , the produce excellence , the evidence show that the fourth and achtklässler faster progress than towns in the last two years , the atlanta , chicago and include new york , have made .
but what in the latest figures from the national assessment of the bildungsfortschritts ( national assessment of educational programme - including naep ) is , is the persistently leistungskluft between african - american and white pupils , both at local level , as well as national level .
the average points of the white viertklässler from washington d.c. , in the last two years has risen by 262 to 270 ( on a range of 500 ) , the their african - american peers , but only three points from 209 to 212 .
in reality , between 2007 and 2009 , the leistungskluft rose from 53 to 58 points .
the progress of the african - american basically remained constant achtklässler , he fell by a statistically significant point of 245 on 244 .
the average scoring white pupils was not included in the monitoring data , since the stichprobenumfang was not big enough .
the picture of a six - year period is also not encouraging .
the gap , which separated white and black viertklässler 2003 has been covered , as the first naep in this district , fraud 60 skalenpunkte ( 262 to 202 ) .
and although the points have achieved , the children of both groups , has grown in this period , has barely narrowed the difference with now 58 points .
last week some bildungsbefürworter of the district expressed their concern that the results of schulkanzlerin michelle example rhee and the democratic mayor adrian m. fenty was celebrated , on the largest part of white pupils , who are already powerful children , were pushed ahead .
this suggests , that we gesamtwertung by the treatment of those who have raised at the top end of the scale , which is difficult and problematic , said jeff smith , member of the board of d.c. voice , a nonprofit group for the bildungsgleichheit in washington dc .
i will not for a range of two or three points on and , down the democratic washington stadtratsmitglied , kwame r. brown said , the a daughter , in the fourth class of the eaton primary has .
brown , a frequent critics of the managementstils of rhee , said , the message the prüfungspunktzahlen is that the city the secondary need urgent attention .
of course you would like to always see the positive signs , i respect that .
but i am frightened , is that we are not close to spend time and energy , to which we should use for our mittelschule .
rhee said , the district of must continue to find better ways , in order to be to meet the needs of the leistungsschwachen pupils .
in this autumn , for example , will be some trained teachers to a new leselehrplan , the wilson - read - system , to use , the pupils in the upper classes of the primary and mittelschule which basic skills of the reading not at the start of their schullaufbahn have mastered and which are lagging behind significantly behind their peers classmates .
everyday mathematics , a curriculum , the from nursery school to the sixth - class games and life experience in places the emphasis has been , under the former senior schulinspektor clifford janey be brought to washington and this curriculum , some of the naep - progress have been reported , attributed to the last week .
i believe that we must continue to work , the best measures to benefit the pupils , the , are under the notenniveau rhee said .
others say that the naep highlight - results of the question , whether rhee can continue to do so , to improve the performance of the system and will continue to the additional money and can provide the resources for the leistungsschwachen schools , which are necessary , in order to reduce the gap .
this is a serious dilemma for michelle rhee , bruce fuller said , a professor of education to the university of california at berkeley , of the urban audit work .
the conventional remedy is , and management reforms its resources on the schools , which are in the poorest areas of washington , dc .
the objective could create political aftermath , the work against this important item on the agenda .
the weak point is of course , as in other urban schulinspektoren that they are trying to keep the white and black middle class .
our focus is to ensure that we set up a system a great schools .
we must strengthen our schools in the areas , so that all families , regardless of where they live , can be sure that their children an excellent public receive education can .
janey , the now schulinspektor in newark , is , in an interview this week , said that one of the most important elements to the closure of the leistungskluft is , the traditional public school year , and at the moment that in washington around 180 days , to extend , in order to compete with the charter - schools .
we must increase the school year to nearly 200 days , in order to have the force for change , janey said , to an agreement on the last year with its teachers 185 days per year , the he as " a milestone ' on the road to a greater increase in the next treaty .
university education for more people than future
the coach achieved the gettysburg - college , with a resounding pipes .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , rising from and blinzelt a moment at the sight of the white pillars , ziegelsteinfassaden and of the smaragdgrünen turf .
gracielas parents have little to the end of the high school diploma was sufficient in el salvador .
until recently had also graciela , which has been recovered in silver spring and now lives in riverdale , never set foot on a college campuses .
its attitude and the other achtklässler the group , to explore the gettysburg , where the teaching costs usd 38.690 per year , was the a ehrfurchtsvollen visitor , rather than that of the enthusiastic future students .
' yes ! here , i will soon be ! ' , called graciela , who would like to study medicine , as the leader announced that they had now for science enter the building .
" wow , really ? " she said to food for thought , as the low professor - to - school students ratio was reported .
the college in pennsylvania was the 7 , which the children on their three - day tour have visited and now they have the intended message : the question is not included in full , whether we are going to 's college .
the question is , where .
on the one hand , there is a growing concern about the large number of children born in the united states hispanischer immigrants , what the high school diploma was sufficient not end or as a teenager become pregnant , on the other hand , there are also , however , hundreds of thousands of which the collegeausbildung received , which is necessary in the middle class , in order .
in truth , one of five of these ' second generation of hispanoamerikaner " the college – what is a remarkable achievement , since many of their immigrant parents , most came from mexico and central america , in the united states , without to have completed the high school diploma was sufficient .
your success stories are important , researchers , because they say for a generation , which play a huge role in the labor force of the country will show , the way forward .
, assess the powerful children , those who say that this often have a natural affinity for school and inherent in them a boost to success .

us defense gates : iran must reckon with additional sanctions
friday defense robert m. gates said that the world powers will soon be " significant " on iran be impose additional sanctions , because it has not taken part in discussions on its nuclear .
gates spoke during a 7 - days visit by the war zones in afghanistan , and in the iraq to a group of approximately 300 us soldiers in northern iraq and the prospect of a military action against played down the islamic republic of iran .
in iran are no good opportunities for election , he said in response to the question of soldiers the likelihood of such a development .
' one of the things that are on the soul to me , is that if we in the last six years have learned something from the iraq , the the war own unpredictability . "
the obama government prefers a sanktionspaket in recital , which aims at iran 's political and military elite , but gates has announced that a number of sanctions could also affect the durchschnittsiraner .
he said that a " package of positive incentives and disincentives ' is necessary to ' in order to convince the iranian government that , in reality , they with nuclear arms is less protected ' , because " their people monsters ' will suffer under the sanctions .

the us government has pushed for this type of agreement , in order to build the trust between the two parties and time for negotiations to gain .
iran appears but since this time the negotiations have to rely on the provisional agreement -- partly , experts say , because the iranian leadership is divided , about whether they should commit themselves to the united states .
iran that the international community in relation to a number of proposals to which they had already been agreed in early october , has simply left , has , frankly , the international community , including the russians and chinese , to put together a way , as it in connection with important additional sanctions for iran have never been , gates said .

the tensions between the kurds and the arab majority in the iraq are still high , in particular in relation to borders , property rights , and because the distribution of public revenues .
gates urged both sides , to reduce the potential for conflict , in order to prevent delays of the us plans , the american troops , up until the end of august of 115 000 to 50 , 000 to reduce .
gates also sought , to dispel the kurdish concern on the forthcoming a withdrawal of troops . us representatives to masood barzani , quoted gates , the president of the kurdish regional government , has said : ' we will their security , prosperity and their autonomy within a united iraq .

a change of direction in the ageing china
wang weijia and her husband grew surrounded by propagandaplakaten on , the ' mother earth to you considered that lectures , that is tired , in order to maintain ' and ' a further children baby more means a grave more ' .
these lessons have you learned is that , than government officials so well in shanghai , and the by the low birth rate , and the ageing population in this summer , suddenly , began to change the course and young couples ermunterten , more than to have a child , their response immediately and finally was : ' in no case ' .
we have already invested all of our time and energy in a child .
is nothing left for a second child , wang , 31 , said a personalleiterin with an 8 - month old son .
more than 30 years after the introduction of the a - child policy in china , the two generations of notoriously dicklichen , verzogenen einzelkindern , be called the affectionately ' small emperor ' , has produced , is a bevölkerungskrise in the country .
the average birth rate is to 1.8 children per couple compared to 6 entered into force at the time that this policy , fallen , the un
department for population , while the number of the population of 60 years and older in the year 2020 by enjoys 16.7 % of the population to 31,1 % by the year 2050 will increase exponentially . this is far on the global average of around 20 % .
the imbalance is with educated population in rich coastal cities , like shanghai , more .
last year have 60 - year - olds and older almost 22 % of the reported residents shanghai , identified , while the birth rate under a child per couple .
zhenhua lingli , leader of the shanghai stadtbevölkerungs - and familienplanungskomission has said that couples in the normal reproductive age babies must be given , in order to help ' , the relationship to reduce the ageing population and to alleviate the labour force of the future . "
shanghai will soon be ' -- but not so rich -- as old as the industrialised countries , such as japan and sweden , be , " they said .
a gradual easing
enshrined in the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy will probably be the most controversial disposal , which was introduced by the ruling communist party until today .
couples , which are in breach of this policy , must reckon with huge fines -- up to its triple annual in some regions -- and with discrimination in their work .
chinese staatsvertreter attributed to have this policy is that the critical demands of the natural landesressourcen could be avoided , while human rights abuses in the enforcement of the policy have condemned .
in rural regions have a number of officials , pregnant women , the already had a child , forced abortion .
many couples have had geschlechtsselektive abortions carried out , which was a unnatural balance of women to men .
in the past years , officials have for population is gradually moderated their attitude to the a - child policy .
2004 , they have allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including city dwellers , members of ethnic minorities and cases , in which both husband and wife have been einzelkinder -- and 2007 the tone has been moderated many hard slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute for bevölkerungsforschung the university of beijing , said that officials have recently discussed even on radical amendments , for example , couples to allow two children , in which a partners einzelkind is .
shanghai , was the first chinese city in july , which has launched a aggressive campaign to promote more births .
posters , the families belehrten , only to have a child , were replaced almost overnight of directives , which describe in detail , who for a second child of the question is and how we can apply for the authorisation .
the town hall has urban employees and voluntary sent for family planning , couples at home and among the doors durchzuschieben fact sheets .
you also asked , psychological and financial advice to the available to the more than have a child .
the response was not encouraging , familienplanungsvertreter said .
disappointing response
although officials from a rural town in the shanghai außenbereichen of said , that a recovery in the applications of couples to recognise is that after the launch of the campaign against a want to second child , the urban districts report no change .
in the community of huinan with a population of as an example still go up 115 000 per month only four to five requests .
disappointed shanghai officials say that the expected for 2010 number of births in the city still despite the campaign in approximately 165,000 will be -- something higher than in 2009 , but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , leader of the familienplanungskomitees of the shanghai community caolu , said that financial considerations are probably the main reason why many people do not want to have more children .
they want to give their first the best , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said that they would like to have two children , and this is also legally allowed .
but they have , such as many chinese , only a minor sick and life insurance , the government .
without a social network , they say , this decision would be irresponsible .
people in the west misleadingly assess the a - child policy as human rights , yang , a certain construction engineer , whose mrs said in the seventh month with their first child is pregnant .
indeed , it is robbing us the opportunity to have more than a child .
but the problem is not simply in a policy .
the problem is money .
other couples give psychological reasons for their hesitate .
wang , the personalleiterin , said that it would just like to a child , because it was also a einzelkind . ' we have been the centre of the family and used that each of us has been .
we are not accustomed to us to deal with other and do this also not really want to . '
chen zijian , a 42 - year old , which the übersetzungsunternehmen belongs , said it plain .
for parents from the medium- sized enterprises with doppelkarriere , by the the birth rate is falling , he said , revolves around is to be a success and that we must be selfish .
the today , 20 - 39 - year - olds age group , so that on their parents grew during the early days of the chinese kapitalismusexperiments fight and they want to see no way a life for themselves , he said .
also , a single child he said , makes huge demands to the time of the parents .
a mother must abandon their social life at least for two years .
then there is the raumfrage -- " we must rebuild his home ' -- and the life -- " if the child 9 months old , it is already have to have a curriculum vitae facilities for the best nursery schools ' .
most of his friends are prepared , this a time of trouble , chen said , but not two time .
our generation is the first , the has achieved a higher standard of living , he said .
we want to bring not too many victims .
un group drawing up plan to reduce emissions
the fed by the un climate conference -- which up to now characterised by wild poznań and mutual accusations -- has on friday , publication of a document again be a priority , the for the next 40 years recording an ambitious reduction of greenhouse gases , and with the industrialized countries in the near future the greatest burden shoulders to .
the text , the basis for a final political agreement on the regulation of greenhouse gases could provide , has displayed both the remaining obstacles , as also shown the way forward .
but it has been seen as an important progress in a negotiation , the time , since more than 100 leaders from all world next week will arrive in copenhagen .
the text , the un working group established by a special was formulated , is silent on the money supply from , the rich countries of the poor countries that should be so that these short and long term can meet the global warming .
it also provides a range of options for the key issues , including such as industry and large emerging - market economies can restrict their carbon - emitting and how high the upper limit value of the global temperature increase should be , the political decision - makers would support .
the process will be given a great deal of flexibility , as john coequyt , a senior representative of the sierra clubs in washington .
michael zammit cutajar has drawn up , the six pages of document , has summed up a 180 sides long negotiations , in order to , which is what the in the heart of the leading klimaschutzvertreter of the un , ivo de boer , has described as " the great whole " .
it shows the footprint of a possible agreement , in what the industrial nations together their emissions by 25 % to 45 per cent by 2020 , compared with the limit values in 1990 , would reduce , while major developing countries , their emissions would reduce by 15 to 30 % in the same period .
together , the countries could reduce the emissions by 50 % and 95 % by 2050 .
the european community , the talks on friday has also given to a boost by your assurance on the next three years 3.6 billion us dollars per year , in order to help poorer countries , adapt to the effects of climate change - from the face of the floods , droughts and avoiding deforestation .
nevertheless , the friday , the same verbal fireworks , which the discussions in the last week had intended .
the american klimasonderbeauftragte envoy todd stern began rejected wording , the binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries , compared with voluntary reductions demand for greater emerging economies , if this will not be financed from the developed countries .
this train has announced that the obama government a tougher line with china , as the representative of the bush government is , not even two years ago .
the united states will not sign up to an agreement , without any significant emerging countries stand up and take action , so stern , also the lamented the fact that the text does not go far enough , to ensure that the reductions also outside it could be confirmed .
stern was a deputy hour after the declaration of the chinese secretary of state its opinion he yafei , the stated that it was the leading american klimaunterhändler either lacks ' of common sense ' or ' it was highly irresponsible " of him that he said at the beginning of the week that the united states would not financially assist china to meet the global warming .
by the fact that the future economic direction of the great world powers is at stake , both within the developed countries , as also opened up between the developed countries and the emerging economies fault lines .
the current fight refers also to the rescue of individual economies , as well as to the rescue of the planet , with china and the united states , because of their respective commitments squabbles , while poorer countries say that the two dozen most influential countries , ignore the scientific need to take bolder steps .
ricardo ulate , a delegate from costa rica , said that it is not surprising that the great powers are fighting , who should bear the costs for the bremsung of the greenhouse gas emissions , because even the countries affected have begun to proceed , aggressive in making , the countries with very high treibhausgasabgabe to account for their actions .
it is clear that this is a game , which will develop a new economic dominance , ulate internationally , as the regional klimawandelberater for conservation is active in mexico and central america .
some of the countries that are the most exposed to the effects of climate change , said that they would continue to fight on a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although the leading participants to say that the discussions in the best - case scenario will lead to a political agreement .
the alliance of small island states with 43 members , in the early friday morning has produced a 24 - page draft treaty .
artur runge - butcher , who is leading the international climate negotiations for the european commission , has said , that the offensive of small island states ' political pressure on the whole political process , " that is why , in part , because they are now united and measures of the emerging countries , such as china and india , demand .
the talks , got a new urgency , as the delegates have focused on the fact that , most of the open questions still to the arrival of the government leaders need to be resolved , in order to come to an agreement .
's high - level representatives , as the indian minister of the environment minister , jairam ramesh , and the chinese vice - minister entstiegen its aircraft and around through the corridors of the bella centre to meetings behind closed doors and press conferences to claims posts , which will be negotiated during the next week .
the pure -- 13 000 people are on a daily basis in the extent of the assembly kongresszentrum a and from , organise gitarrespielende activists shows at night , in which they are making fun of on the countries which , betray your opinion , and sell , and draft treaty will be passed on from hand to hand rather than by e-mail -- is already a challenge .
the intensity builds just on : almost all the important ministers are here now and from wednesday 60 government leaders will be in copenhagen .
we shall now proceed to the oberliga , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice - president for global policy of organisation conservation internationally .
the heavyweights come .
britain 's first 225 km / h faster train defines the montagsgefühl new
on monday morning at 5 in the 13 will penetrate the darkness , in order to announce a zugabfahrt a pipe , which is a revolution in transport in the united kingdom .
the first hochgeschwindigkeitspendlerzug in the country is in its blitzfahrt of ashfort , kent , after the london st pancras 225 km / h achieve and 93 km in 38 minutes to go .
to lord adonis , the transport ministers , will then lady kelly holmes , drawn up on board of the first javelin pendlerservices from london .
he hopes , that the new service united kingdom , finally , to an international rail network quicker , more reliable trains ankoppeln will and the major urban areas of the midlands , and of the north of scotland to london coast will .
the neglected province could be to living pendlerstädten , arbeitsanfahrtszeiten would be radically reduced and the switch from aircraft and car to the railways would national carbon emissions and reduce the congestion on the roads .
in theory believe the three large parties in this vision .
but the british pound , the many billion are needed for the construction of a new national network , the inevitable planungsschlacht and fears about environmental damage in the british hochgeschwindigkeitsgleisen could still the brakes .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company in january , the government is to present a viability study , will lord adonis deliver according to the times , the report on 30 december .
this would give it a detailed streckenkarte the next stage of the high - speed rail network .
the new railway line , the london with is to link the west midlands , with a margin of five metres will pass to urban areas and in places , where the impact on the environment are controversial .
in the free movement of terrain , the plan will the concept within a gap of 25 metres from the final route .
hs2 should also three options for a greater , northwards leading produce high - speed rail network .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the proposed preferred option is a y - shaped routing , in which a single high - speed link would lead in the west midlands .
the route would are in , or in the vicinity of birmingham parts and a abzweig would lead west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and the other in the direction of north - east after sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would lead to scotland .
" it appears to be the most effective option , " a rail insider said .
after the completion , the journeys would reduce between london and edinburgh to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first section , which would not be opened in 2025 , would allow the travellers , the london - birmingham route in 49 minutes today , compared with just over one hour , to go .
the drafts , with a speed of the trains are offering the opportunity to travel 400 km / h , which the british rail network would be the fastest of europe .
the first line has been planned , so that 400 metres long trains can operate with a maximalkapazität of 1.100 people point .
up to 18 trains per hour on the london - route birmingham could be in operation .
this would mean that in london a terminus would be necessary , could be done on the travellers 20,000 per hour .
in view of the spatial restrictions in the capital , is expected that a existing railway station would be extended to the high - speed network .
bahnexperten say that only st pancras internationally or euston have this potential .
lord adonis will be aware , whether or not this plan its opinion should be continued , but the lengthy public consultancy and planning mean that a final decision will be taken only after the parliamentary elections .
even if the wheels in motion , however , it is , in sections of the network must be built .
the trains should first of all the high - speed lines to existing railway lines in the north of birmingham change , which the route between london and scotland would be to continue over three hours .
this is a crucial sticking point , so that a shift from air to rail can be ensured , a beacon for the schienenrevolution .

revolution managers or the end of the strategic frühaufklärung ?
if nothing changes in the leadership of the great french enterprises has been in vain in our fight for the development of the economic intelligence ...
for over a decade ago , the attitude of the management of large companies in terms of its staff , the position of the said companies vis-à-vis the consumers before the marketing revolution : it is the best intended for the personnel join ' values ' , as it was earlier on the consumer - products of the technicians in the work to impose shaped .
by it to customers in the centre of the companies , the marketing revolution has given the strategies of the conquest of the markets in the place ... although the authoritarian temptation products separately factors preferences of the customers to impose regularly again !
the demobilisation of staff can lead to a lethal demoralisation .
the suicides in france telecom , psa or renault are only the tip of a much wider phenomenon , that , in particular , the employees affected .
this demobilisation has a negative impact on the development of all intellectual functions of the company from , in particular those of r & eund , which is even more crucial , to those of the economic intelligence .
in fact calls for the iu ( intelligence economique = economic intelligence ' ) of all the parties involved ( ... ) , is a proactive action and a future vision ' ; it claims by the staff a use , the entirely disagree with the instructions of the authoritarian management .
this is why we are calling for a occupational revolution , which would involve an equal footing , the employees in denmittelpunkt the concerns of the company alongside the customers .
the very conditional use internal opinion polls
are the internal opinion polls , as the questionnaire , the orange has presented its wage earners , encourage this revolution in regard to the management - practice ?
unfortunately , i am afraid not .
- firstly , because i was able to establish that the whole fabric in the face of a new situation after many roundabout way finally priority concerned , the , ... to do what it has always done .
also because the authoritarianism , one of the pathology of power - increases proportional to the importance of his own failures .
and , finally , because most leaders have a simplistic idea by the human behavior .
emerged from the large ingenieurschulen is your interpretation of the psychology mechanistic .
you take in intellectual comfort the old behavioristische theory , the recently by the us - american " neuroscience " reactivated and unwittingly far - reaching of research institutes and has been spread by the media .
therefore , and by you suggested that it is possible , the ' lever " ( sic ) to the commitment of employees to work , encouraged a survey published aktuellein le figaro.fr of ipsos the executives in a position to a mechanistic governance system , which is not suitable for today 's world .
the mobilisierungsfaktoren identify and measure
instead , a for the smooth functioning of the modern companies need occupational revolution of the adoption of a final view of human behavior .
it is , in any idea or practice of the management to integrate : a fundamental protocol for the wage is the commitment for the company will only be possible , if it appears clear as a means , in order to make a part of their dreams , their ambition to implement and their projects .
at the moment accept only the studies from the analysis multifunctional this idea of the motivation of the staff .
these studies have shown that they doxa laid down their businesses at the basis of a judge , the by their perceived picture of the company allowed you to assess what it offers them to achieve their life .
thanks to the identification and of the measurement of these mobilisierungsfaktoren can the leaders of the companies ' control their " social performance and their human resource management , predict and pre- empt again in the right place .
so , you will create a fertile ground , for the coordinated development of a robust and efficient economic intelligence is favourable .
the oslo speech : the ' fair war obama praise from the right a "
the american rights has , on friday , on the eve of barack obama in oslo speech , and was satisfied that the nobel peace prize 2009 , welcomes the concept of ' fair war ' against the enemies of the united states has defended .
the conservatives , the distribution of the prize to obama had on 9 october mocked applauded this time of the president 's speech , the example of the former vizepräsidentschafts candidate in the 2008 elections following sarah palin .

the war is , of course , the last , of which i think that the americans want to do it , but it is necessary .
we must stop the terrorists down there , it says .

a other opponents of obama , newt gingrich engineered , was of the opinion that the präsdent have done a very good work ' in oslo ' .
i was really very well that the speech was , of the former president of the house of representatives , the president of the particularly rejoiced the reference to ' the existence of the evil in the world ' in obama 's words recognised .
in some parts habeich this speech and completely ginrich , said that the perceived as an historically was interviewed in the radio programme ' the takeaway ' .
the current members , the by some as a possible candidate for the republican nomination to the 2012 presidential election will be seen , said he was pleased to have seen a ' president of the left ' , reminded of the members of the nobel committee , that they are not free ' and could not send a price for the peace , would not exist if the use of violence ' .

the - for workers with the lowest wages , is rising from eur 8,72 to 9,06 euro .
" this is not particularly much , but only once small we starting to ' , patrice clos ( fo ) .

turkish constitutional court resolves pro- kurdish party . decision with serious consequences
the turkish constitutional court on friday was the dissolution of the country 's pro- kurdish principal party known ; a decision , to the immediately raging demonstrations in the kurdish community in the south - east of the country , and in istanbul followed .
this decision , the work of the government is threatening to make enormous more difficult , who are trying to extend the hand , the kurdish community , in order to bring an end to the since 25 years of conflict .
the ' for ' a democratic society party ( dtp ) has been dissolved , because they had become a " site for the activities , the for the independence of the state and its indissoluble unity are bad , " the president of the constitutional court hasim kiliç four days after the decision to the press .
according to kiliç would be the decision of 11 judges getroffenworden unanimously , with a majority of seven votes would have been necessary in order to impose the break - up . he also pointed out that 37 of the party leaders , including the chairman ahmet türk and the parliamentarian aysel tugluk , for the duration of five years been excluded from the political events .
the judge of the further announced the waiver of parliamentary immunity , the türk and enjoy tugluk , and the confiscation of goods of the party .
the dtp in parliament ( now has 21 seats of 550 ) .
the parteiführenden spoke before the decision to the effect that the parliamentarians would leave parliament rather than as parteilose to meet parliamentarians .
the decision followed a in the year 2007 by the prosecutor of the turkish bundesgerichts abdurrahman yalçinkaya initiated procedures . he accused the dtp , the " instructions " to follow the kurdistan workers ' party ( pkk ) , by ankara and the many other countries will be seen as a terrorist organisation .
many observers believe that the dtp is the legal political showcase the pkk - rebels .
the party to have assured , ' no link ' to the pkk , but refuses to call this as a terrorist organisation and calls to negotiations on the government .
the verdict of the constitutional court computer intervened , the government is seeking to meet , of the kurdish community and a series of measures to strengthen the rights of the kurds to propose , by the kurds are drying up to the support of the pkk to end and to give the conflicts .

' turkey can this ( kurdish , anm. that not resolve editorial ) question on the basis of the ban a party , " he told of the press .
the government , consisting of a party , which has emerged from the islamist movement , regretted the decision also .
" we oppose from principle against the closure of the parties .
that does not solve the problems , " energy taner yildiz .
this decision is a torpedoing of the " democratic opening up , has been the promoted by the government , " the political marktbeobachter ahmet island .
" you can clearly on a " response of the pkk , adds it .
on thursday , the pkk to an attack , in the three days before seven soldiers in the north of the turkey died . it was one of the most brutal attacks in the last months .
can the schneeeinbruch come
a properly knackigen winter , that is what wolfgang brauburger wants .
not because he would like to bully the citizen , the winterdienstleiter says the fes .
but , so that its staff the whole of the vehicle technology can learn try and control .
at the weekend might be so far it according to the weather forecast for the first time .
more than 330 staff and 120 vehicles are prepared to take care of , in order to snow and ice .
this is the fes after a precise plan .
snow cover as soon as it in frankfurt and the level zero temperatures , 20 will have the so-called a - routes with großstreufahrzeugen boat , brauburger explained to us .
this includes some hauptverkehrs and transit such as the new way and the hanauer roads .
but also feuerwehrzufahrten , public local passenger transport routes , with differences , such as the atzelbergstraße pedestrian avenues and routes .
at three o'clock in the service of the fes begins morning
the around 1040 kilometres in needs in a maximum of three hours should , with feuchtsalz is responsible , the better , be spread more .
therefore the fes starts at three p.m. at night of , ' so that the routes are free , until the launching berufsverkehr ' .
it will be difficult , if it only at 7.30 in snow .
then we have a problem , the winterdienstleiter says , " because no one then , is prepared to make the streufahrzeugen place ' .
only then , so there is not further snowing , feed - and are erschließungsstraßen , including the council - beil - road , in the number .
the final priority have sides - and roads .
there will be complaints there , know brauburger .
at five o'clock in the morning is many battalions at your disposal of the fes on the way , gefahrenpunkte and crossings are removed as a priority .
the fes are usually in order to all of the cycle paths might not be concerned about .
there is a particular in frankfurt , of 22 until 4.30 p.m. , above all the bridges in the watchful eye , says brauburger .
since it is to give this quickly glätte , , as soon as the temperature falls under two degrees , of the streuer .
this will also be called by the police , if need be .
the cradle of dinosaurs
tawa hallae from as many other fleischfressende dinosaurs : the saw two metres long and 1.50 metres had a major animal expired on two strong hinterbeinen , other than a länglichen skull with sharp , gebogenen teeth , short poor with sichelkrallen and a long tail .
lived would have provided the kind of a few million years later , it would be nothing special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with these körpermerkmalen sterling , nesbitt , reports of the university of texas in austin and colleagues in the magazine science the thursday .
the animal were living in today 's new mexico around 215 million years ago , the then in a dry area of superkontinents pangäa was around the equator .
tawa opened a new window on the early stages of the evolution of dinosaurs , says , nesbitt .
it shows us a lot about the relationships , the spread and the features of the early dinosaurs .
2006 began , nesbitt and other paleontologist with a grabung on in the north of the ghost ranch new mexicos .
we have sometimes found a dozen bones of dinosaurs in a day , which is unprecedented for deposits from the i reported team - member randall irmis by the utah museum of natural history .
the researchers quickly as new identified some of the bones .
in the course of the ausgrabung they played the remains of a total of five individuals .
fund confirmed theories on dino - frühgeschichte
the name ' tawa ' comes from the sun of the hopi - indians .
it is an exceptional fund : " for sterling , nesbitt dinosaurs from the i - fossils are extremely rare , it is usually only individual fragments . '
other experts share the enthusiasm of dinosaurs not necessarily .
this fund is not particularly spectacular , but he confirmed some theories on the frühgeschichte the dinosaurs , says about martin sander , of the university of bonn .
according to the current doctrine , the dinosaurs for the first time in around 230 million years ago .
many of the oldest fossils but incomplete , which is why the allocation is this ur - dinos often controversial .
so , the experts , for example , debating when the echsen aufspalteten in their three main lines of development : the carnivorous theropoden , to which later the tyrannosaurus on external economic relations , the velociraptor and also the birds , known as the ' langhälse ' vierbeinigen sauropoden and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischia ( vogelbeckensaurier ) , to which , for example , the species triceratops and were stegosaurus .
after the analysis of , nesbitt and his colleagues is tawa hallae a original theropode .
it has a interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says , nesbitt .
other than the skull of tawa hallae , the researchers , for example , references to luftsäcke , as you have also , the descendants of theropoden , the birds , .
thanks to the luftsäcke is breathing of birds more effective than the of mammals .
in tawa hallae were also the bones of the vertebral column seems partly filled with air .
tawa is the oldest and , most savage theropode with luftsäcken randall irmis says .
since the relatives of the line of the huge sauropoden also later luftsäcke and lighter - bones , probably already was the common vorfahre both groups this useful innovation produced .
at least three waves of migration after north america
because the dinosaurs primitive have known so far had lived in south america , conclude the researchers that the echsen there appeared for the first time .
therefore early separated the three lines of development and spread of south america on all continents , the at the time still as superkontinent pangäa formed one landmass .
speaking for the fact that , together with the team tawa hallae the remains of two further , not particularly closely related theropoden was .
the three can not of a common ancestor , immigrants , the researchers argue .
we believe that there were at least three waves of migration after north america , says , alan turner mentioned by the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
however , there are also contradictions .
an even older kind , silesaurus , the belongs to a schwestergruppe the dinosaurs , lived in poland , the bonn paläontologe martin mrs sander says today .
his opinion , a distorted picture , because in south america might simply particularly many primitive dino - fossils are preserved , while little is to be found in other continents .
as it created the dinosaurs , from a relatively rare to the sidelines of the reptilienstamms dominant landwirbeltieren of erdmittelalters to develop , is still baffling .
during the the dinosaurs i shared their habitat , with many other reptiles , for example , with the ancestors of today 's crocodiles and the flugsaurier and with a number of other echsen .
at the end of the i spread the dinosaurs from all over the world and developed many new species , while the affinities ausstarb on the border of the i of the law .
success story was not going to last forever
there are two hypotheses , in order to explain this change , says martin sander , .
it may have given a massacre , which survived the dinosaurs happen , but not the other reptiles .
or the dinosaurs were better adapted , so that they were able to beat the competition from the field .
the success story was certainly not going to last forever .
helped years later a meteorite impact of a group of 150 million , which is also already in the animals to flourish i entwickeltet , and has had , since then , a shadowy existence times : the mammals .

new silicon - valley
long years it was considered secret city for western visitors inaccessible .
the capital moscow selenograd , one of ten districts , in the soviet union was a tough location for secret defence research .
today , the community , with its 216 000 inhabitants , 37 kilometres from the moscow centre , as a " russian silicon valley ' .

stuttgart brake
the dimension of stuttgart 21 , is not even set high enough .
for the supporters of the project , it is purely and simply in order to ' the new heart of europe ' .
rightly so . s21 is much more than the tieferlegen a station , more than a gigantic construction project , the city of baden - württemberg capital for a decade ago in disarray will baustellenchaos down .
stuttgart 21 arose from the spirit of the 1980 's .
kopfbahnhöfe end up with lines , the in the middle of the city , at that time were hailed as the verkehrstechnische fossils in the nineteenth century , such as constraints of a modern rail transport , a lot of time , as it once needed forward umzuspannen , locomotives in the back .
simultaneously , very briefly , - so to travel further ´ s go .
and that is why the kopfbahnhöfe disappear : in frankfurt and munich should .
and in stuttgart : a durchfahrtsbahnhof , for the sake of such as the trans - european rail - magistrale route between paris / bratislava and budapest is - that is why the slogan ' the heart of europe ' .
s21 will , in fact , now tackled , although the visions of the 1980s , are no longer compatible with the reality .
itself very ambitious planners have recognised that , in the hessian and the bavarian [ hessischer rundfunk ] city , it is almost impossible to implement the tieferlegen .
kopfbahnhöfe do , however , also have no a - , and ausfahrtsproblem more , since it modern wendezüge with locomotives and steuerwagen at both ends .
nevertheless , stuttgart 21 along with the ice - neubaustrecke after ulm section , now will addressed .
country - and local politicians have pushed it through .
the railways power with , and also because the risks of the largest infrastructure - einzelprojekts of the republic of the taxpayers and not the staatskonzern contributes .
städtebaulich is the project is still reasonably justified .
there is new stadtraum , of - the computergenerierten tables illustrating the planners - believes that it will be equipped with a great deal of green .
rail is s21 harmful for the transport system .
the durchgangsbahnhof and the streckenausbau are intended for the passenger transport , which , typical 1980s , huge growth attributed .
at that time , there were not the competition from low - cost carriers .
modern transport policy , however , there must be first question , to strengthen the freight transport , as the transport is on the rail considerably environmentally - friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the neubaustrecke because of intense climbs is not fit to freight trains .
there is still a lot of serious is that s21 indirectly affected also many other rail .
a good eur six billion , in the schwäbischen verbuddelt be .
this is the official number .
experts 10 to 15 billion for realistic .
it is clear , in the next decade will lack the money to other hubs and engstellen in the network .
a total of 60 greater projects are on the list of transportation .
one of the most important is the development of the good 180 kilometres route through the rhine valley .
since 1987 is built on the route in slow .
would be necessary , as a matter of urgency , to push to the tube correctly here .
but s21 will act as a brake .
the rheintalstrecke will on the real bottleneck for the international freight transport , in the middle of the heart of europe .
government is examining verdict on the airport
the national government has in the wiesbadener landtag left open , whether they against the judgment of the hessian verwaltungsgerichtshofs ( vgh ) [ hessischer rundfunk ] will go to banning night flights in revision .
the cdu / german free democratic party ( fdp ) coalition have asked experts , is the more than 400 pages full vgh - judgment , to be legally examine said economics minister , mr dieter posch ( fdp ) .

the coalition must decide until 4 january , whether it is against the judgment in revision .
criticised the opposition to this postponement and urge the representatives of the government , to give up on a revision of the bundesverwaltungsgericht in leipzig .
spd group torsten schäfer , gümbel called on the cdu and the fdp go back to their before the election promise made to return to a night curfew . otherwise it is as ' breach " to values .
it is difficult , if word must be condemned , greens said - head tarek al-wazir in reference to the german free democratic party ( fdp ) election slogan ' we believe that word ' .
minister posch , the accusation by schäfer - gümbel back , the national attempts , with ' rechtsverdreherei and sleight of hand " but to come to their night flights .
a precise legal examination need their time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of a " rapid first impression ' .
we need a legally certain entscheiung , stefan müller ( fdp ) said .
so , as you is the opposition , are the statements of its never have been group to banning night flights .

rapid election
it was then but everything much faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board had urged the president - in- chief nicholas brender from the office , the sender can present a successor .
the vote on the personalie body wanted yesterday evening .
was the favorite peter frey , director of the zdf hauptstadtstudios in berlin .
it was a confirmation of the sender , however , not - officially in order to anticipate the procedure not .
however , have also played a role , not to damage further the zdf - intendanten markus schächter , this proposal should not be allowed to get away in the management board .
frey , schächters candidate , needs the support of nine of the 14 gremiummitglieder .
the result of the vote was not yet in print this edition .
in two weeks ago schächter was with its proposal , the treaty with nicholas brender failed in order to extend further five years , on the administrative board .
only seven members languages for brender from , seven voted against him . brenders stepping down , was a heavy defeat for schächter , but a erwartbare .
because the unionsmehrheit weeks before the election , in the management board had already indicated , brender not in office to want to confirm .
had the organised resistance against the koch editor of the hessische prime minister roland .
with the argument that would have been under brender would have the news of the zdf lost ratings , it rejected a further term of office of the highly - regarded chefredakteurs .
there were therefore protests until shortly before the election , in which the political influence has been plaguing the zdf .
least had even 35 staatsrechtler interfered in the debate , the action the koch those deemed unconstitutional .
nothing came of it .
the person
peter frey was born on 4 august in bingen in 1957 .
he studied policy , teaching and romanistik .
then he worked in the südwestfunk and in the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 changed frey on zdf , firstly on the ' today - journal ' .

study will entrümpelt
partial for the students : after a year of bildungsstreiks drew the culture ministers of the countries on thursday , at long last a : at a meeting of the culture ministers - and hochschulrektorenkonferenz agreed both sides , to want to improve the studying conditions in undergraduate and master .
the students should be in the situation in the future , also able to solve their studies .
in the individual they agreed to , to reduce the prüfungsbelastungen : in principle will every studienmodul only conclude with a single audit .
the workload of the students and reviewed ' must also be guaranteed a realistic and acceptable level ' .
policy and universities also want to the recognition of audit between the universities within and outside of germany simplify .
the countries committed itself to this common strukturvorgaben for undergraduate and masters courses ' to make more flexible .
furthermore , deviating länderregelungen it should not be .
less tests
since the beginning of the student protest in june rectors bear culture ministers and uni - the common dictum of better studierbarkeit in their mouths .
now it has been filled for the first time , with a specific content .
the so-called akkreditierungsrat decided to drastically reduce , the number of checks in part : ' every module is closing in the rule , with only a test , " it is in a 30 - sides paper , that the authorisation by students of courses partly to new rules .
with the ' significant reduction of the prüfungslast ' , the akkreditierungsrat - declared chairman reinhold any , should be a stop to ' drift , significantly disrupted the studierbarkeit . "
the ' studierbarkeit ' in future ' must also be the decisive criterion ' in shaping .
modules to examine how content are ' strict ' , whether in the election of the ' unnecessary einengungen the students
events would prevent ' .
the students , " would be entitled to receive , margins , allow the own initiative , and promote ' .
the rules should apply in the authorisation of new , but also in the existing review courses of study .
this must all be five years of " reakkreditiert " – what it means that takes until 2015 , however , have been reviewed until all the courses of study .
responsibility for are german ten accreditation agencies , which is subject to akkreditierungsrat set up by the countries .
the culture ministers had urged the countries in the october ' with emphasis ' , so as to bring influence to bear on the agencies that the not too big and prüfungsregime stofffülle is not to strict .
in individual länder , universities and colleges of higher education with landesministerien have already agreed on the appropriate measures .
so far as a single country said in the rhineland - palatinate additional funds for the further development of the bologna process to .
of the money is to set up the universities , above all , tutorenprogramme and study and strengthen review and auslandsämter .
country and want to universities pour eur 10 million .
in early 2010 , the government wants to table an amendment of the hochschulgesetzes to parliament .
after this , for the conclusion of a studienmodells only should be a single audit be necessary .
the studiengestaltung is to be more flexible , the recognition of leistungsnachweisen other universities must also be guaranteed and facilitating the access to the master .
by the end of next year should be reviewed everything courses of the country on their studierbarkeit .
government and opposition , on thursday had argued once again on the studying conditions in the country .
in addition to praise , but it was also criticism of the decisions .
the bundesvorstand the juso - hochschulgruppen called for the shaping of education , in future , not more ' taking place behind closed doors ' of the ministers and university .
at the latest , after the bildungsstreiks should now also the students ' affected have a say ' .
support , the future academics by the president of the hochschulrektorenkonferenz ( hrk ) , margret wintermantel : ' we need the experience of the students , " they said on thursday at a meeting with the ministers of culture , with which the hrk on a common reform was discussed .
the trade union education and science ( gew ) , the bonn decisions as a whole did not go far enough : they calls for a legal entitlement , of any graduates with a bachelor conclusion allowed access to a secondary masters course .
on the other hand , the countries need to ensure that , for today 's vote on the generation of undergraduate students are sufficiently masterstudienplätze with best possible studying conditions available tomorrow , so gew board member andreas cellar .
the countries need to clear more lecturers stop .
to a freer access to the masters , however , does not culture .
more than a footnote to herta müller
in germany and from comment is beautiful ' almost no control ... is the anfangszeile of a poem of the lyrikers werner söllner , in which this issue in troubling sprachfetzen ankunftserfahrung of dissidents , the freedom of the won , but , at the same time , has lost his language .
the 1951 werner born in the romanian banat söllner had first of all , as german and englischlehrer - worked in a kinderbuchverlag in bucharest and , later , editor , before he 1982 to frankfurt am main relocated .
söllner is with various literaturpreisen he was excellent . in 1993 , the legendary frankfurter poetikvorlesungen at the goethe university , and since 2002 , it is , director of the hessian literaturforums [ hessischer rundfunk ] in mousonturm in frankfurt .
for , he considerable außerliterarisches attention during a meeting in munich last tuesday , in the ' german literature in romania in the mirror and zerrspiegel their securitateakten ' .
report visibly confused and move söllner read out a statement , in which he before rumäniendeutschen schriftstellerkollegen , including richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak , and helmuth frauendorfer , its cooperation than in the for the romanian secret service securitate admitted .
together with some of the present had söllner in 1989 the german sprachpreis received .
the anwerbungsversuche have started by stealth , first 1971 .
so i am , closed söllner , ' someone who has campaigned against attempts to intimidate the securitate not enough . "
the lyricist werner söllner is in the walter .
almost at the same time , with the nobelpreisehrung for herta müller and whose unprecedented literary debate with the mechanisms of dictatorial rule will the literaturszene and , in particular , the community of german originating from romania writers , shaken by a case , the plumb the depths and power , which indicated the property of a political system based on monitoring , and domestic spying .
werner söllner is , as far latest knowledge such that we can say , not only , but also the perpetrators victims .
in its acts of securitate have played a role in the walter , said after the confession söllners the literaturwissenschaftler michael markel and referred to the positive influence of in the walter for him .
he had it in all the sensitive points at the time for him , " markel bailed out ' .
it is a moral need him , this comment to make .
söllners statement was in the form and before this audience unexpected , quite surprising is the commitment of the former dissidents and its cooperation with the romanian secret services , however , not .
germany is a cosy reserve for securitate - have been informants , herta müller have already had in july , written in the time after it had read its own act , ; 914 sides , .
the people concerned , it must be suspect , speculation and will also have known , which in some case klarname behind the aliases sorin , voicu and it is also walter lay .
unlike the here now very verfahrenssicheren sighting the stasi - files , dealing with the legacy of securitate - monitoring still very diffuse .
a systematic information is thwarted in the past few years and has been hampered .
a the appropriate national council for getting to grips with the securitate birthler authority - files ( cnsas ) has been set up in 1999 , the disclosure of files has been rather slow since then however .
there is a law only since 2005 , the management of the files .
that the influence of former securitate - members in romania is still a very large , after the announcement of the nobel peace prize for herta müller showed interview , in which a previous securitate - head from the temesvar dismissive about the received the prize was .
lastly , you have a psychosis , we have they only once interrogated .
the power of the infamy said is able to express quite openly in the shape of the freedom of expression here .
certainly raises in the case of söllner , as is so often the case in connection with verschwiegener blame , inevitable questions .
why only now ? who was harmed ? the listening to the measured response to söllners commitment gives hope that the continuation of this chapter of knowledge rather than apportioning blame and shame will be determined .
to genese the plant from herta müller , who yesterday has received the nobel peace prize , it is more than a footnote .

the pleasure , on the fulminanten commencement of the babbel - successor remained so behaviour .
not only with the alleged hope of salvation , which the uncertain stuttgart professionals in the short time had confidence , dedication and spielfreude gives .
i am on the players received , and i have told you that they are to go back to their strengths , and they have stopped , to be courageous , explained seelenklempner gross the simply sounding recipe for success , under the therapies babbel but had not had any effect more .
he has sparked a certain magic , babbel - has been in favour of jens lehman , ' if in football is a new impulse , sometimes things happen , would have kept the they are not in favour of possible ' .

this is what we need in the current situation . "
under babbel had it been lacking obviously .
the vfb stuttgart is not yet about the berg , warns sportvorstand horst heldt
the vfb stuttgart needs but , above all , consistent .
as gross its proponents were because also players and managers before , the victory against a exaggerating ersatzgeschwächte and completely defence of the romanian guests swamped .

lehmanns statements are " characterised by minded egotism , " keilte heldt back and consequences for the schlussmann announced .
you will no longer friends for life , the two 40 years .
after all , but with all the other , they have agreed that , without the preparatory work by the abgelöste trainerteam playing the strong and combative idea would not have been possible .
babbel and his assistants have " a large proportion of the success ' , said heldt and lehman voices - and also the man who agreed to with the plastic bag .

case kunduz
frontal attack from the opposition : green - group jürgen trittin has defense guttenberg because of the incorrect information on the kunduz affair , described as a liar .
spd and left awareness of the chancellor are calling for .
- after the recent findings to the air raid hamburg / berlin of kunduz , the opposition has defense karl - theodor guttenberg ( csu ) to a deliberate deception .
of the ministers have on the lethal bombardment by september on two tanklastzüge " knowingly said the falsehood ' , on saturday , greens - group jürgen trittin said in the ard - news ' tagesschau ' .
this has been described as widely : it lied .
the order is to kill in defiance of the rules of the international security assistance force ( isaf ) have been granted for afghanistan .

traumwelten
in wachem state some seeing pictures and hear vote , does not see or hear the other .
not only to the mentally ill and in the drogenrausch blurring of the borders between fantasy and reality .
everything is in order as long as it happens , in their sleep .
if we are in our dark rooms with our eyes closed , we must have the wildest ideas and phantasiegebilden of these unchecked .
however , those who experienced in the period traumartige conditions , sees things and listens , does not see or hear the other , is in the modern western world mostly as crazy or drug addiction , at least as a crank .
but images and vote of this kind arise not only on mental health or in the drogenrausch .
blame our imagination : has the same neural processes that enable us to draw up homes paint pictures , or to write novels , sometimes have to ensure that the borders between the dream and reality madness , becoming increasingly blurred .
traumartig modified wachbewusstseinszustände in the different forms can occur in the best - case scenario , we call them visions and , in the worst case , madness .
even if the trigger and effect may , the different visions of mystikerin hildegard of bingen , the drogenerlebnisse of new - age - prophet carlos castaneda , schamanische entrückungszustände , psychoses and hallucinations but attributable to similar processes .
hallucinations or delusions arise , if the balance of the neural , of the brain - above all , dopamin , , serotonin and noradrenaline acetylcholin derailment - and the interaction of various gehirnteile is disrupted .
complex hallucinations and wahnhafte idea are very often during a schizophrenic psychosis .
the force of gravity more about him has no power
the context of madness and dream has philosophers and medical professionals since antiquity .
aristotle concept hallucinations as a form of dream in the state , wilhelm griesinger , one of the founder of modern psychiatry , 1861 to a " great similarity of the stated irreseins with traumzuständen ' , the dream of sigmund freud was even ' a psychosis , with all the inconsistencies , wahnbildungen , sinnestäuschungen of such a " .
it is autumn of 2001 , when henning t. transformed into a comicfigur .
be body is developed along two dimensions and quietschbunt .
the force of gravity has no more about him power , it is hanging in the zimmerdecke .
it senses enters a .
behind him produce teufelsgestalten with blutroten , distorted fratzen , zähnefletschend .
they hunting it , it with serious , inflammatory boots , throw it against the walls , it feels the pain on the whole body .
noisy , malicious vote roar from walls and radio .
it may no longer bear them , the votes , the abuse at him and insult .
henning t. is tearing two cable out of the stereo , knotet you attached to a noose and to you a crux of the ceiling .
it is rising on a loudspeaker and is tightening the noose around the neck .
too .
the noose is disappearing .
the vote you should be a lesson the cry out ' go in the clinic in trommelfellzerfetzendem choir , and let you cure ' .
today is henning t. 40 years old , it is six acute psychosis seen , the last is 2 years back , the first almost 20 years .
it has been triggered by lsd .
his diagnosis is schizoaffektive - paranoid psychosis , it is also , it takes depressed bi - medicines , against the depression , the mania , the schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , married for three years it is .
in the worst fear and deepest despair psychosis i have seen , he says .
the mere empty words are ongoing , cruel reality
approximately one per cent of the population ill with schizophrenia , at least once in their lives in psychiatric clinics they will be treated as second disease after the depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis can affected mostly not distinguish more between domestic and the outside world , they get trapped in a übererregten state of affairs that to hallucinations , sizes - can lead , relationships or persecution .
this is particularly widespread stimmenhören - vote , the orders , comment or dialogisieren .
also optical hallucinations are not infrequently .
not more of the affected can important trivial to separate the brain , not more cost of purging , the system can disturbing signals awareness is being inundated of the impressions .
such as the dream opens the psychosis the floodgates for a spate of ideas and fantasies , the deeper bewusstseinsschichten come from .
in the psychosis is subjektzentriert , says the perceive reality professor thomas fox , general psychiatry oberarzt the clinic in universitätsklinikum heidelberg .
the schizophrenic is in the centre of the loop , everything has an importance directed at him .
at the same time , it is in a passive role , will he , much as in the dream , of what is happening overwhelmed and can you not actively shape .
schizophrenic therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a realitätsabgleich is usually not possible to you , the mere empty words are excluded cruel reality , wake up .
once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations
unlike in the dream , fox says , ' remains but the sinnliche and geographical structure of reality , the perceived in the psychosis will be given , in principle . "
the obsession thoughts and in reality , the verfremdung based hallucinations of the erlebens will take place at the real framework .
exactly why our brains vagaries , , researchers is still proposing puzzle .
in each people ausnahmezustände can lead that he loses the reality in the short term , fox says .
but not everyone will develop a psychosis .
there seem to be a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia , but zwillingsstudien have shown that the genes are not the alone are determining factors .
researchers are out of them from that , when affected minimal brain damage .
we suspect that the neuronal maturing of the brain at an early stage of development will be disrupted , by a viral infection of the mother explained during pregnancy , for example , fox .
but there remain a puzzle , such as the disruption of the neural system comes into existence , not even manifestiere is also the first of all , on many years .
also environmental can play a role - of stress or traumatic experiences a trigger for psychosis be , if there is the negotiable .
especially hallucinogens drugs can also trigger psychoses , because they interfere in the transmittersystem .
if our brain hotly is
the stupidity is , psychotiker suffer from their hallucinations and swallow expensive medicines , in order to get rid of them , others are spending money on drugs from , in order to get what , says the lübecker psychologieprofessor erich castes .
whether as a pleasant or unpleasant be mere empty words , is often only a question of the position .
castes collects since reports on hallucinations and trugerscheinungen ten years ago , in last year he has its results , in the book " the unreal world in our head ' evaluated .
hallucinations belong to the typical effects of psychoses , but also from surprisingly many other diseases .
this includes mental disorders , such as often also , diseases such as migraine borderline or depression , epilepsy and multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's and schädelhirntraumata .
surprisingly hallucinates under certain conditions , even the brain healthy people .
hallucinations , so castes , from the gedächtnisinhalten , which normally be withheld .
they are , if areas will be processed , in which have sensory , are blocked überaktiv or too little ; if our brains also hotly is or , if lack of stimulation .
drugs can trigger this state as such as brain damage or an psychosis .
but also reizentzug , stress , liebeskummer or other mental ausnahmezustände .
recent studies have been up to a third of those polled said that at least once in their lives to have seen a hallucinations .
in the summer of 2005 , sarah k. 16 years old , they live in a small town in mecklenburg - vorpommern visited and the secondary school there .
a very normal girls , in fact .
if there would not be the pictures and the vote .
it can happen in the break that a schlaksiger young with long , dark hair addresses it .
if it responds to the peers look at it surprised - nobody else does this see or hear young .
they consider the timid girls to be a versponnene tagträumerin , but sarah k. not dreaming , it knows it .
it is awake , you can see and hear these young , just as the girls in the bank in addition , they can see and hear .
it can feel his presence even , at least for moments .
a pleasant this feeling is that they may the young .
i am mad ? , you sometimes wonder .
but you know , of course , that this young and the other is not mere empty words are real and disappear again .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening
the mere empty words are often also a burden .
if you in the classroom sitting you not sometimes , can the unterrichtsstoff consequences , because the teachers in their eyes and ears just presenting a new classmates , while for all other visually and visible at the banqueting table mathematical equations explained .
at night , the phenomena are often frightening .
if you waiting for the sleep in their dark room , which is , of course , far too rarely far too late and is , they can often not different , whether it is awake or already dreams , whether the images which it sees the fratzen or the girls with the bleeding schnittwunden of poor and legs , before their open or eyes closed .
let me is crying out in a calm , they to shape the .
nothing of the parents and friends told you would think it is crazy .
autumn of 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old today .
it has in the last year the insisted baccalaureate and live together with your friend .
in a year , the hallucinations have stopped .
since you contact with the psychologists castes , on the internet , you know that it is not crazy .
madness is also a work of art from despair
if someone is socially isolated or under reizentzug suffers , has it with great likely , after a while hallucinations , says castes .
i suspect , then the brain is under , and even for his entertainment .
sarah k. , a einzelkind , had as a young girl , fear of other children , often , she played alone .
their hallucinations , as you began with 13 learned that the man that they can daddy calls , since they thinking , is not their leiblicher father .
because in visual and acoustic hallucinations the same hirnbereiche , are active in this process , it is also real impressions and noise affected as sarah k. hard to distinguish , mere empty words and reality ' every see , " castes , says . ' will take place in the brain , the reality is there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain arise , it is therefore they so real . "
at night images also sees caste as a form of hallucinations .
the hallucinations of healthy are not fundamentally different from those an acute psychosis .
in contrast to schizophrenic are mentally healthy in the situation , to recognise their mere empty words as divorced from reality .
castes advises his patients , therefore , that the hallucinations also value as a special ability .
grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations
in our to very bewusstseinszentrierten world will see imaginary often , alas , pathologizing , says mr schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and psychotherapy chefarzt the clinic of psychiatry and of the florence nightingale - hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a serious , painful disease , but it has also positive , creative - madness , is also a work of art from despair .
schmidt - degenhard has the so-called oneiroide erlebnisform researched , a particular form of traumartig modified wachbewusstseins .
oneiroide are very complex , detailed quasi - dreams , the of the erlebende for real , and the he , in retrospect cannot distinguish the wakefulness .
the oneiroide bewusstseinszustand arises in trauma or illness extreme , for example in polyradikulitis patients , the experience in full awareness of a motor paralysis .
if a person of itself and weltverlust is threatened , such as , for example , by continuing total impotence , it replaces the life reality by its own , imagined world , the is decoupled away from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of grenzzustand between dream and hallucinations .
given that the deal with a situation in reality is not possible , a weltwechsel is taking place , but reality will envisage in the imagination .
an intensive form of sinnstiftung and meaning in a intolerable situation , the people own destiny , allows us not submerged in nothing of the bewusstseinsverlustes .
everything is real , later in the memory
also the zürcher art peter cornelius claussen describes his oneiroid - experiences in his book the soul ' herzwechsel ' as a bailout .
it is 49 years old , as its awareness for a herzklappenoperation followed by a heart transplant posted on travel , while his body on the intensive care is condemned to a standstill .
a , in a world selbstgeschaffene claussen appears visited foreign times and places : they experience as a zugsanatoriums bettlägerigen , old mann , on board , a robot guards his health .
he lives in the early middle ages under royal , the manufacture of drugs from blood .
on the will of a greeks motorcycle abducted in whose own country , is with his spitalbett surfing the firnschnee of the alps and is a true korean mafioso .
it is entirely to be done in the imagined , everything is real , later in the memory .
this internal travel for claussen are fundamentally different from any dream .
dream is a other state , be he describes see .
quite the contrary , i have memories of travel mental nor after years and in secondary details abundantly clear .
clearer and more even than really happened .
the intensity of this erlebens goes beyond the horizon of our other lebensweltlichen experience , says the psychiatrists schmidt - degenhard .
ultimately , oneiroide , psychoses , hallucinations and drogenrausch show how fragile our internal reflections of external reality are also in the ensure .
any change in bewusstseinszustandes , summarise the psychologist castes , " can lead to impervious a distortion of reality , what we call ' .
a experience , the well can also be enriching .

mazda3 i stop : environmentally - friendly athleticism
mazda would like to prove that converted athleticism is perfectly compatible with the protection of the environment .
for this reason has mazda recently in the converted model mazda3 christened the automatic stop - and anfahrsystem of the motors , introduced on the behalf i - stop , at the moment , a device that however only for the 2.0 petrol with 150 ps available .
this second generation of the mazdas 3 stands out is through their good marks in the overall picture .
the final processing , the implementation of the vehicle , of the comfort , be straβenverhalten , the mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all these aspects are the new mazda3 ' very good ' .
starting with the front , we can see that the front seats provide an excellent good ergonomics and stop good .
it is also the game of lenkrads excellent .
in view of the unity , the further out of the instrumententafel and the armaturenbrett is , we can see , that mazda with a wide range of converted and switchgear in the impact of the colours red and blue , at the same lines as the japanese trend towards a futuristic innendesign .
this style partly reminds us of the style of the honda civics .
therefore , can easily be said that , both the mazda 3 , as well as the civic , both converted japanese models , of of the coldness of german automobiles , especially from the volkswagen gulf , the all want to exceed withdrawals .
the passenger compartment of these two japanese kompaktwagen offers more than ever the appropriate comfort , so that four adults äuβerst conveniently able to travel with the car .
to all this is a clear and groβräumiger alliance boot .
the stop - and anfahrsystem is up to now , only the 2 litres of petrol with 150 ps available and of 6 - gear .
this driving force is a real benefit from . he stands by its points , by be quiet sounds , his achievements and by its low consumption .
and all those who drive not many kilometres a year , this should stop with petrol engines i - whether because of its groβen comfort in gear and its low consumption , even if for mazda , above all , the dieselmodelle converted the best are to take into consideration .
in terms of equipment , it is for the test the so-called model sportive selected a specificity , because it has a much gröβere number of elements from the serienausstattung .
from the serienaustattung stands out above all , the assistant for the fahrspurwechsel ( rvm ) , so that the dead abolishes corner , but also the bedienelemente for the traction and stability , the geschwindigkeitsregelung , the light innenspiegel , the bordcomputer with a groβen screens , the sensors to park , an independent air conditioning , rain and lichtsensoren , access and audio - access , as well as the verchromten 17 - the customs - wheels .
auβerdem includes this version still , as if it not yet enough of resources , the package premium , which would be for an additional eur 1 500 contains the following : in addition to further elements , above all , the lernfähigen bixenon - headlamps and the soundsystem bose with cd - lader .
conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best kompaktwagen its class .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the materials used , because of its driving patterns and the diversity of resources .
auβerdem those who are not many kilometres a year to go , also buy the i - stop version , the only with a 2.0 petrol with 150 ps is available .
the only be negative in this model is but a high price , of between eur 21.770 for the model luxury and 23.270 euro for the probegefahrene model sportive is .
in return to this high price , however , the mazda3 offers us every day highest fahrspass .
a first with a great deal of ' glamour '
l. example is the red tepppich of the sensuality for penélope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie from .
in the premiere of ' nine ' resonated with the stars , clothed in models , which will be as elegantly as sexy . ( photographs , more than ever before : gtresonline ) .
our ' pe ' , so elegantly , as always , opted for ' a dark lady ' - dress .
the promises of fonpeek
peek is limited äuβerst , a device , with the can only be read his e- mails , without an option , able to see certain annexes or able to surf around the internet .
it has its five minutes enjoyed glory , when it the magazine time chose to one of the products of the year .
it is to see , on the straβe rather unlikely , but the idea in itself is nevertheless especially for young people of interest .
in contrast to the smart phones peek only costs very little , and has a very favourable unmetered access , for example , just the half the prize of a iphone the flat rate .
after the companies has seen the success of that , there has two new equipment placed on the market : one , which is intended only for twitter , the other with a lifelong gratisservice for data , unlike the peek , in which they have to pay a price six times higher .
fonpeek , which was presented yesterday in the event le web , the european version of this invention and is thus your third version .
it has the same borders , however , as his american counterpart , has a surprise crisis .
the monthly unterhaltspreis for the telephone , around eur 12 the month , roaming includes for the whole of europe .
those who travel with a smartphone around the world , know already , what it means , on all the data must to do , in order to be able to read his e- mails , as soon as it has ridden roughshod over the border , or when we desperately looking after a café with wifi ( or a access with fon ) .
the idea of the roaming with flat rate is incredibly tempting and really should be possible for a long time .
it is true that some telephone providers already specific treaties and prices for offer abroad , but in my experience , we need already a doctorate in physics and a good glasses in order to be able to read all of this small print .
the repeated criticism on the part of the european commission in relation to affordable roaming charges for the whole of europe were almost always ignored .
auβerhalb own country has always be afraid of it to read his e- mails and rightly so .
that a small device as fonpeek ( with it but always astonishing is that it has the behalf fon , even though it does not have a wifi / wlan ) can offer this kind of tariffs , that means the telephone providers slowly but surely , is a rethink and must start in various possibilities to consider , as you can use their cyber .
kindle is another good example of this , in its prices is the downloaded of books and other questions contained in the internet .
without vetrag and without snags .
this is a internetfähiges device and we will be paying only a single time , namely the purchase , and not month by month .
and that is exactly what it is , what i expect , also one day of fonpeek , a kaufmöglichkeit with lifelong internet access as offering the peek already in the united states .
and that is not because i would like to buy it .
i would like to thank my e- mails , with the telephone read .
but i expect this , because i am of the opinion that it would be a more appropriate model for the consumer .
it would be interesting to be able to see with the same time a computer system .
the fetischfarbe of michelle
yellow is , without a doubt , the lieblingsfarbe of the american first lady .
already in the office of barack obama as president of the united states they have appeared in a dress and re- elected a mantle of the colour and has the same colour , in order to him in his , without doubt , second moment in his life to accompany : the award of the nobel peace prize in oslo .
michelle obama has very similar models on two occasions : auβer that it was almost the same colour - a shining grüngelb - , was the clothes from three parts - dress , jacket and umbrella from the same substance , and it has contributed something groβförmig gesticktes or a halskette .
it even goes so far as , for the first sight it seems that the first lady of the united states had wanted to follow the example of the princess of asturias and had decided , the same dress in more than just an occasion to bear .
however , the two clothes are very different in the stoffart , from which they are prepared .
in the inauguration it has a dress from head and in oslo one from gemusterten , together with .
the accessories were also different : the first time green footwear with halbhohen paragraphs and the second time a änhliches model , but goldfarben .
also the hair was different : every time the hair were on this occasion as haarkranz high , with the previous it has the hair openly .
75 % of the working mothers have because of their maternity problems are given in the work
the discrimination in the work has increased in the past years , especially in the younger women , the want to have children .
to this is the result of csic study carried out in cooperation with the institute for women ' fertility and career of women in spain ' .
the survey 9.737 women between 15 and 75 years leaves no doubt in that respect : 75 % of working women see their career prospects in the labour market restricted because of their maternity .
the study , open , that there is a very broad differences in the decision to start a family , and the number of children are , according to whether or not the women work and if so , what kind of work .
those of you who auβerhalb of the house , no other work they do , only part-time work or have no permanent employment contract , are more likely to become mothers and have more children .
in contrast , the women postpone , with a fixed employment , particularly in the public sector , the creation of a family and motherhood , and that is why we have also fewer children .
' the women in the age group between 35 and 49 years , with a fixed employment get their first child on average only 3.7 years after the pooling , a number , which to 4.1 years for women with firm increased employment , to have the taken longer to achieve this , and the pooling it and the first child is only have achieved much later .
auβerdem also has the kind of work a groβen influence on motherhood , although less than the calendar with regard to the empfängnisbereitschaft , " the csic - researcher , margarita delgado says .
the level of education is a further factor , in the age of the women must be taken into account when the marriage and the first child .
according to the survey the age is the time of the marriage and the first child , the higher the higher the level of education .
this difference could also be stated in the same age women .
for example , the women in the group between 35 and 49 years ago , according to whether they have only the or completed a higher education , on average each with 25,1 or for the first time 32,1 mother .
in addition , there is still , according to their level of education , a further difference between the women .
while the women with hauptschlussabschluss before their first marry permanent jobs and have their first child , make it the women with a medium- sized or high secondary education exactly the other way around and seek out only a permanent jobs and marry later and will receive their first child , delgado notes .

cowardly aggression
my 70 -year-old mother came last week by our part in the municipality of walking fuenlabrada , when , suddenly , a group of young people between 15 and 18 years in addition to their and our dog herliefen , our dog is a mischling that we have obtained from the rescue and the just six kilo is , and then you from the blue missed him two fußtritte and injured so that it seriously .
it is not our outrage in words , since it is us incomprehensible , where since the spass in a cheap agression against a small and defenceless animals should be , which has of course been carried out at the leash .
in addition to the erstickungsanfall that a madam , was walking the cosy , was given , as it wanted to these people because of the reprimanding incident , because it feared of their own life , even if such a raving attacked a dog , it is also , the same perhaps with a mr or mrs of a child , an old probably even with every make , of the weaker than it is in itself .
the incident occurred in a normally calm neighbourhoods in a very ordinary tuesday at five o'clock in the afternoon .
all day long , the dog has geheult .
of course , we have in , but of a nahgelegenen police force , we have reported grave doubts about whether that will bring anything at all and in order to prevent any prejudice from the outset , we only want to make it clear that the cowardly criminals spaniards were .
our indignation about what has happened has led us , this incident .
we can not to understand what must be in the minds of these young people , that they find a cheap attack on a defenceless animals fun , of an animal , the us love , there is society , and friendship .
we know not where the good education and the respect for the animals and the people have remained .

the sale of vans rising to regain some degree of
after almost two years the car market for light something at long last begins to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel .
the 9.425 vehicles , which were admitted in november in spain , mean an increase of 12.6 % in relation to the year 2008 , and , what is still much more important is that they are so that the first increase at all after 22 with constant decline , gemäβ the successive months by the herstellerverband anfac and the autohändlerverband ganvam presented figures .
however , these good figures are time only with groβer caution to genieβen , since the benchmark used for the comparison of november 2008 , which are particularly bad verkausjahr with a 60 % decline in respect of the previous year was .
we must remember , however , that , apart from the rise in the last month , the gesamtzulassungen this still 11 months of 40 % below the sales of the previous financial year .
since january , as a whole have been sold 95.853 vehicles , in this number , however , all vehicles , from which the kleintransportermarkt is , include : descendants of cars , pick - ups , vans , small vans and easier vans / chassis .
furthermore , are still in the sky , the same storm clouds what impact the demand in the most , because even if some of the vehicles purchased by individuals , the groβteil of sales to small and medium- sized enterprises , which in the purchase nearly 100 % of all cases with a third .
so we must these restrictions , which are the result of the zugedrehten flow of the banks , to further factors with einschlieβen , such as the increase in the rate of unemployment or the continuation of the poor economic situation .
in this situation and in the difference to the cars , have the financial aid for the purchase of a vehicle of the plan 2000e little helped .
this determines plan is not , however , only for individuals , including self- employed and small companies to have a right , if they are a light up to 3.5 tonnes with a co2 ausstoss , which must not exceed 160 grams per mileage , want to buy , but the low sales speak for themselves .
just yesterday had ganvam again remind you that , it is absolutely necessary , is also a special emphasis on the part of the state in this light , and also , of course , on the industriefahrzeuge ( lorries and buses ) .
the autohändlervereinigung predicted for the year 2010 as the just last a similar year , for which it with a verkaufsausfall ( passenger cars and offroad vehicles put expected ) by 19 % .
the support in bremsmanövern in critical situations is duty
as was already in the antiblockierbremssystem ( and how is it now happening with the stability esp , must have an intervention systems to be a requirements in the european cars brakes in emergencies .
indeed , they are duty in all newly registered passenger cars and light light commercial vehicles , for the remaining a karenzfrist until the end of february 2011 was set .
the maβnahme has adopted by the european union on the objective , but to improve the protection of the fuβgänger , can also help these braking systems because their functioning , to prevent many front - rear collisions .
the task of the emergency braking is to put more pressure on the brakes in the case of a critical bremsmanövers , on the basis of the system carried out by the drivers bremsstärke on the brake recognises , to exercise .
however , this system is not until the end of this pressure .
according to a commissioned by the komponentenhersteller for the bosch vehicles study , a third of the drivers involved in an accident was not before the zusammenstoss even more to do it , on the brake to enter into force and half of them had not with full force slowed down .
up to 1.100 accidents
the bremshilfe against intervenes with maximum force in the braking system and reduced by the bremszeit and bremsabstand , therefore , the brakes are also a car in the applied traveled .
according to a study in the eu could up to 1.100 fatal accidents every year , in which fuβgänger harm to come , be avoided , if all cars equipped with this type of emergency braking would be .
it would be even less accidents - it is estimated that every fourth accident with personal injury could be prevented - as soon as the so-called intelligent notbremssysteme be popular .
then the vehicle is equipped with a system , the ( on radars or a camera ) obstacles recognizes the driver and cautions , with it at the same time a light put pressure on the brakes .
if the driver responded , is helping him to in the system , to increase the pressure on the brake , if it would be necessary .
if the drivers not respond to the warning and even if the zusammenstoss is already inevitable , is the bremsassistent the put maximum pressure on the brakes , so that in this way to keep the damage as low as possible .

on the tax of porsche boxster spyder
for the development of their most recent and very expensive jewel the engineers the boxster s used as a basis , and , really managed to make things easier for him to 80 kilos , which he now only 1.275 kilos brings to the balance .
in order to create something , would you , as a first to the automatic aufklappbare roof , which has been replaced by a zeltleinwanddach with manuellem accord , so that we alone has , thanks to the 21 kilo saved when this model used aluminiumtüren such as the gt3 ' disappearance ' further 15 ; by the exclusion of the air conditioning still time 13 ; auβerdem one has the kraftstofftank from 64 to 54 litres , so that further 7 kilos have been reduced ; saved by the fitting of sporting bacquet time - are still 12 and with the slight 19 - customs - wheels again saved five .
you then had also by the renunciation of the audio - system 's cdr - 30 once again six kilos of less and through the exchange of türgriffe achieved by the lack of kilo handles from substance .
although it also with the doppelkupplungsgetriebe pdk available is , the test was carried out with a vehicle with 6 - conventional handgetriebe , mainly on the smaller landstraβen of california , to bergstrecken , the really were very kurvig .
in his driving behaviour we can only give the mark irreproachable him .
the reduction of its weight , but not to no longer so sure geführtdass he now would be on the straβe .
it is rather the opposite is the case : since we have already not long probegefahren more as a small and light model , the a but at the same time , it is a feeling of groβer security in the bends , even in high speed .
it is a small athlete , to be able to flex its muscles in a low motion in the time required to make warm , until we give him the orders to head to curb to recover and then , again to get everything from his engine ...
he makes everything , what he says . the car power everything , with our hands what we him the steering wheel indicate that , thanks to its management , which is as communicative as also precise .
and he is doing it with the precision of a surgeons .
a motorsound for all tastes
the sound of his v6 boxers with 320 ps ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is managed and it can it be increase with the ' sport ' - option and by means of a system that can change the motorgeräusche , which has already in the panamera was for the first time .
the beschleunigungsvermögen is inconceivable brutally , regardless of whether from the are or renewed speed up .
the federungen strong , however , are not severe or inconvenient .
the asphalt on the landstraβen , on which we with the boxster spyder went , was quite damaged , but the car meisterte the bumps well .
the electronic assistants had on the whole route almost nothing to do ; and that , although we in some of these trends of ice in the early hours of the morning and rollsplitt found on the morning .
in summary we can say that it is a ultraleichtes car , a car , with which to indescribable fahrspass has , as it otherwise it is rather rare and there is much more than just a small improvement in him of the boxster ss .
the car will come in february 2010 on the market and will cost eur 70.831 .

it was english and teletovic , mainly for the 18 - 20 were responsible at the end of the first quarter .
the second quarter was little different , only that the team from álava for a innenseitiges game of barac chose and for the game of judge eliyahu , in his return to the team was received with pfiffen and applause , be the home is , to continue to break their advantage ( 34 - 43 ) .

nevertheless , the game was despite the clear advantage not yet been decided in the break , and the makkabäer wanted the vitorianer remind you once again that not everyone on their level playing field is attacking again and again , and thanks to the ' hand of elías ' they came back to the game .
eidson and pnini helped crucial that the " yellow umdrehten ( 50 - 49 ) ' the helm .
even more disadvantages
mr the team of ivanovic , violated , but anything other than dead , a few prepare gambits with accuracy had to once again , in order to get air and in one of them the suddenly emerged gun of mirza teletovic , with three almost successive triple and with the support of english and ribas ensured that , on the anzeigentafel by ( 54 - einberuhigender distance to 67 ) been notified , the host at the end of the third quarter with ( 57 - enhance 67 ) could .
the alavesen were in the last quarter of bloβgestellt and english and san emeterio ( 60 - 75 ) , already announced that they would allow anyone , to give you the victory that you , in the first dreiβig minutes honest deserved , taking back .
nevertheless resigned pnini and eidson , not the best of their team and tried to your team by three points of the line ( 70 - 77 ) force to be .
nevertheless , and although mote because fouls being the place was asked , mr the team of ivanovic was not on , defended well and although the israelis nor in the last minute aufholten ( 80 - 85 ) , the game have already had lost a winners and tel aviv for the first time in this season .

olympiacos was of the intensity of the ereins unicaja surprised , even if the local team with a innenspiel between bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis managed that the anzeigentafel to their benefit in the 13 minute 22 - 20 anzeigte , the minute , in the it as a result of an action almost to the affray between the two americans would have been to beverley and williams and which is why both disqualified have been .
the greek team began , warm weather at last to be , and its superiority on both spielhälften , while the departure of the englishman , mr joel freeland as a result of a violation of , and the three itself mistake by carlos jiménez caused significant traces in the unicaja hinterlieβen .

many thanks !
after the tempting days since last spring , in which the inflation of assets the prevailing mood on the markets has been returned , on the markets is the insecurity , which is in any case surprising , since this is their natural state , in an environment in which the broker take decisions on an inherently uncertain future .
it was the maβnahme used to stabilise the markets , to pay the debt with the direktkauf of assets and indirectly to let the liquidity free hand in interest rates , the move to the zero claim , so that in this way the banks assets to buy .
the central banks have already confirmed that the direktkäufe of assets as well as an end and , without their heterodox policy to liquidity in question , start to diversify , some sand in the wheels , as the bce näc already vormachte with their jahresversteigerung , the next week .
therefore the investors doubt the capacity of the world economy , the economic recovery without this heterodox maβnahmen maintain and we are witnessing a reversal in the reduction of risk premia .
the increase in the unternehmensboni flüchtigkeiten of the stock exchanges and the differences between again , even if they are still far removed from the paranormalen amounts , the they achieved at the beginning of the year .
the member states have been forced to nationalize the private risks and the national debt rise again .
we will now again on quality and the united states , japan and germany , are the privileged shelter of the investors , which will result in an increase of the differences in respect of the countries of the euro area to germany .
spain has until now hardly affected by this episode of instability , but then came standard & poor 's and threatened with a new revision downwards in the assessment of spain .
on the other hand , a degree of uncertainty is detrimental not , in order to silence the defenders of the moral risk , the had tried , once again to the staff of the global economic an awareness had caused , for what you , to produce , since the devastating effects , to which the restriction of credits had led to the loss of jobs , slowed down , than you actually a new day for the dankesaktion beschlieβen should have .
nevertheless , what has happened in dubai , on a stammeskrieg between the emiren , in order to restore the power in the emirates and the development in greece was also foreseen earlier .
a government , which conceals the public debt , elections , and a new government , which the same thing .
prodi made in italy there berlusconi and sócrates in portugal , mr barroso .
it makes no sense at the beginning of the year that ecofin hungary from non- save their external and thus granting a euro - member state , not to honour its commitments .
however , it is logical that ecofin has forced the greek government , to be transparent and its citizens with the need of auβergewöhnlicchen maβnahmen with in the duty to take , in order to maintain the stability of the state money .
yes , we are as expected a episode of normalisation of risk premiums , after some excesses to high amounts are , it would now within the expected .
in the case of spain , we must not worry , as long as the differences of public debt with the same speed as the european unternehmensboni increase .
but should reduce the differences between the european and are , to continue to increase the spanish dannn would act it is a special spanish risk .
the standard & poor 's is a farce . a groβteil during the early here indicators of the marktforschungsinstitute obliges us to do so , their scenarios for the recovery , it would be preferable and their scenario for 2011 to be revised upwards , einschlieβlich the ocde and the european commission , which once with a japanese scenario promises for the spanish economy , all this despite warnings not long life span .
once again , it is the seems that it is an excellent opportunity to buy spanish share , although at the moment as ' caution drive ' is needed .

the chairman of iberdrola , ignacio sánchez galán , as the first met yesterday before the subcommittee of the parliament , where in these days the strategy in relation to the energy supply of spain will be debated in the next two decades .
after his occurs in the gas natural - fenosa , the chairman of rafael villaseca followed , some stichpunkte galán the press was about what he had put to the subcommittee on behind versschlossenen doors .
according to the chairman of iberdrola euround 50 billion by 2020 , spain must invest further from this date 60 billion between now and 2030 , under the pretext that the current nuclear power stations also continue to remain in operation .
this should not be the case , would not be on the investments needed 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
iberdrola , however , is of the opinion that we should not invest more in an increase in the energy , but in distribution networks and international groupings .
from 2020 onwards , the question will change and we should increase the performance .
his proposal focuses on both gas and kohlewerke with facilities for capture of co2 and above all , of course , to the renewable energy sources .
in this case , it assumes that 18 000 mw more is needed , under the vorraussetzungnatürlich by others ' stützenergien ' .
galán is , of the opinion that the gesetentwurf for a sustainable economy , which has just adopted by the government , is in line with what his company has called for , in no case wanted to say something against this law , as to create incentives for the national kohleverbrauch , which is the exact opposite of all the political strategies in the fight against climate change would be .
his opinion , ' the long term , has made it clear in this direction , despite some ' individual ' maβnahmen , as you described the chairman of iberdrola .
be that as it is galán believes that we , as of now , the decisions on the investments , even if these are long term , should make , because it will need some time and a stable pay package must be created , in order to tackle them .

barack obama becomes the fourth american president to receive the nobel peace prize
the american president barack obama will fly into oslo , norway for 26 hours to receive the nobel peace prize , the fourth american president in history to do so .
he will receive a diploma , medal and cheque for 1.4 million dollars for his exceptional efforts to improve global diplomacy and encourage international cooperation , amongst other things .
the head of the white house will be flying into the norwegian city in the morning with his wife michelle and will have a busy schedule .
first , he will visit the nobel institute , where he will have his first meeting with the five committee members who selected him from 172 people and 33 organisations .
the presidential couple then has a meeting scheduled with king harald v and queen sonja of norway .
then , in the afternoon , the visit will culminate in a grand ceremony , at which obama will receive the prestigious award .
he will be the fourth american president to be awarded the prize , and only the third to have received it while actually in office .
the white house has stated that , when he accepts the prize , obama will speak about the war in afghanistan .
the president does not want to skirt around this topic , as he realises that he is accepting the prize as a president whose country is currently at war in two countries .
a few days ago he stepped up the war effort by sending more troops to afghanistan , something that his critics will be stressing .
at the ceremony , obama will also be given a gold medal , a diploma , and a cheque for ten million swedish krona ( around 24 million czech crowns ) .
he intends to donate this money to charity , but hasn 't decided which yet .
their busy schedule will then take the president and his wife to a banquet , which will be attended by the norwegian king and queen as well as the ministerial chairman and another 250 invited guests .
obama has always been reticent in regards to his prize .
he has said , for example , that he feels that he does not wholly deserve it .
he has repeatedly said that the prize isn 't for him , but for everyone who upholds the same values .
right after hearing about it , he described it as a " challenge to take action . "
nature protection officers accused of blackmail
the litoměřice police have accused the chairman of the litoměřice nature protection society civil association of blackmail .
several times during the last year he appealed against certain building permit proceedings , and has then claimed money from investors for retracting the appeal , said litoměřice police spokeswoman alena romová .
the chairman of the litoměřice nature protection society is lubomír studnička .
he is now under arrest and faces up to three years in prison .
recycling containers don 't smell so good in brno
in prague , normal people can sort their beverage bottles , and , in south moravian , villages are recycling containers on every corner .
and in brno ?
there , it will take you a good few minutes to find the right sort of bin .
i don 't mean to imply that garbage isn 't sorted in brno .
but it seems to me that considering we 're the second largest city in the country , the authorities are not showing enough interest in this problem .
brno is falling way behind in its garbage sorting , not only because people here can still only put paper , glass and plastic into these bins , but mostly because of the sheer lack of containers for this kind of waste .
have you ever tried throwing a plastic bottle into a bin in the city centre ?
it 's a real art form , and you need time and steady nerves .
the only place we 've managed to come across is on moravské náměstí , opposite the potrefená husa .
no offence to mr. onderka and his colleagues , but it 's really not good enough .
not to mention that it 's no easy task sorting garbage in other parts of the city .
plenty of my friends don 't bother sorting their garbage .
out of laziness .
it 's just too far to the bin , you see .
i don 't blame them .
after a party , i offered to throw out a few glass and plastic bottles .
but , on kounicova ulice , there were no coloured bins to be seen .
luckily , on the way to the tram , i found the right place .
but it was overflowing with garbage .
come on , this is the centre of brno . isn 't it supposed to look good ?
it should , but ecology and aesthetics don 't seem to interest the brno socialists much .
they prefer to buy the city a new hockey extra - league , which puts us to shame all over the country , instead of buying a few more containers and letting us sort other garbage for a cleaner brno .
i 'm glad to see that , after browsing the net for a while , my assumptions are confirmed by official statistics .
figures published by eko - kom show that brno really is the worst off in the whole of south moravia .
" paroubek 's " budget takes money for pensions and sick pay
the fact that the left gave extra money to the farmers and civil servants in the face of government opinion means that there might not be enough money in the budget to cover pensions , sick pay , or building society savings .
and also not enough for interest on the national debt or to cover international judicial disputes .
this will bring problems for whoever is in office in the latter half of next year , said the finance minister eduard janota .
when the social democrats and communists raised interest rates for certain groups , they were relying on the fact that the government would loan money for susceptible expenses , pensions , and sick pay . " it 's just a case of postponing the problem , laying a minefield , " says janota .
higher interest has to be paid on loaned money , and , at some point , it has to be paid back .
the state does not have much choice where to find it .
if it doesn 't reduce social benefits or the costs of running the state , it will have to increase taxes .
for all those that the left just handed out money to : firefighters , teachers , farmers .
and later , their children , too .
people don 't have to worry about pensions or sick pay , where 1.8 billion has disappeared from the accounts ; they 'll get them .
although , at the cost of the state falling deeper into debt – next year the treasury won 't just be 163 billion short , but even more .
despite the efforts of minister janota , debt will continue to increase at an ever faster rate , as will interest costs .
the state will need money to cover it , and it 's no longer enough just to slightly bump up vats or reduce maternity benefits , as the government has done in its anti- deficit package .
as money has been diverted to several groups of voters , next year there will also be a shortage of five billion for building highways and railways .
these are mostly sections that have been tendered out and are half- finished and cannot be redesigned or made any cheaper .
at the most , conserve what isn 't free too .
this means that delaying or halting thirty major building projects and money from european funds is also at risk , warns transport ministry spokesman karel hanzelka .
the čssd has suggested that the deficit be resolved solomon - style – it should draw on čez dividends , which are mostly state - owned , and use those to top up the transport fund .
the problem is that the level of these dividends is never certain , and they are certainly not a bottomless resource .
last year , 18 billion of čez money went into the budget .
every year , these dividends are used to pay for clearing up ecological damage , topping up the pensions account , or are set aside as a reserve for the upcoming pension reforms .
moreover , according to eu regulations , this trick increases the actual budget deficit to 5.7 percent of gdp .
but this is not the end of these transfers .
the budget is almost three billion shot to cover various damages owed to the victims of communism and crime , to meet the cost of judicial disputes , and even to cover building society savings .
it is still not clear if the state can get by without this money .
it 's a gamble .
if we were to lose an international dispute , we 'd still have to pay , claims janota .
the minister will then have to save money within the resort or , in the worst case scenario , reach into the government 's budget reserve .
the two- billion - crown state treasury project , which is already underway , is also lacking a hundred million , and what each office is spending can be followed on- line .
the first stage will start in january .
if the finance minister can 't find the money elsewhere , the project will have to be aborted and sanctions will be imposed , warns janota .
your next smartphone will run two operating systems
the americans are saying that , in the future , users will be able to switch between different operating systems on their mobile phones at the touch of a button .
the plans revealed so far look promising .
just press one key and in just a few seconds you can switch from windows mobile to android .
this is the goal of the american company vmware , which primarily develops computer virtualisation software .
this will let you have two user profiles at once on the same phone .
you can switch between them or have one for work and one for home .
both of them will run at the same time , says srinivas krishnamurti of vmware in an interview with computer world magazine .
it was presented last november and first demonstrated just a few days ago .
it will go on sale in 2012 .
the virtualisation of smartphones is not science fiction .
vmware has already given reporters a demonstration of a smartphone with two operating systems .
it was a modified n800 with 128 mb of ram , running windows mobile and android at the same time .
the development of new mobile phone technology is in full swing .
vmware is now working with european and american operators to test smartphone virtualisation and the sets should reach customers sometime during 2012 .
lack of snow in mountains causes problems for hoteliers
it 's not only krkonoše ski - lift operators who are worried by these bare slopes .
the lack of snow is putting people off booking ski holidays in hotels and guest houses .
this means vacancies are still available in the krkonoše throughout the winter , including christmas and new year 's eve .
we 're getting plenty of visitors to our site .
people are browsing the offers , checking prices , but , so far , are worried about making a definite booking .
" when they call , the first thing they ask is if we think they 'll see snow or mud , " says martin jandura , who runs the spindl.info information web site .
anyone who wants to spend new year 's eve in špindlerův mlýn just how they want , had better start thinking about booking soon .
those preferring to save money and go for cheaper accommodation can still give it a few days .
hoteliers in špindlerův mlýn are so far just offering week - long stays for new year 's eve .
i think they 'll try to keep that up for a while , but even they will give in and offer shorter stays .
then there 'll be a sudden shortage of vacancies , " estimates jandura .
the vrchlabí travel agency ingtours is still offering vacancies throughout the winter .
what we 're interested in is christmas week , which hasn 't sold out yet .
half of our capacity is still available .
that 's why we 've been preparing some cheaper last - minute christmas breaks , " said ingtours director petr schiefert .
the vrchlabí travel agency can still offer new year 's eve in the krkonoše , but there are fewer vacancies .
another good time for bookings is the first fortnight in february , although bookings for the remaining winter dates tend to be average .
this year , interest in winter breaks is low due to the fact that there is still no snow on the krkonoše .
people are waiting to see if any falls .
nobody wants to spend the end of the year in the mountains when there 's no snow .
if snow falls on the slopes this week , christmas will sell out too , " says schiefert .
on the other hand , the horizont hotel in pec pod sněžkou has seen better bookings this year than last year .
we 're up about 5 percent .
we have the last few vacancies for new year 's eve and christmas .
there 's a lot of interest during the polish holidays in january and we usually get plenty of bookings in february too , " explains the director of the best hotel in pec , karel rada .
the omnia hotel , by the central car park in janské lázně , is eighty - percent booked up for new year 's eve .
yet the newest hotel in janské lázně still has half its beds free for christmas .
january this year has been a nice surprise , as we 're already sixty - percent booked up .
so february isn 't looking quite so good , but as soon as it snows , then interest in staying in the krkonoše will definitely rise , says the owner of the omnia hotel , erik sporysch .
for now , however , the krkonoše hoteliers will have to wait for heavier falls of snow .
colder weather is forecast for thursday , so if anything falls , it should be snow .
but it should get warmer again after that , said jiří jakubský of the czech hydrometeorological institute in hradec .
usa : repetition is the mother of wisdom
it 's almost funny to see how barack obama , reputedly the wisest president , is trying so hard in the matter of the afghan war to repeat the strategy of his predecessor , having himself considered him to be the most foolish .
when he finally came out with his long- awaited afghan doctrine , it appeared that he had made a carbon copy of bush 's iraq scenario three years earlier .
it 's not just that in the text itself he repeatedly uses the words " just like in iraq " , but he even went as far as to use the name of bush 's declaration from january 2007 as the title of his own declaration : " the new way forward " .
while three years ago he himself criticised bush 's idea to send fresh troops to help in the beleaguered civil war in iraq as " an irresponsible decision with catastrophic consequences " .
the following months , however , showed that bush 's strategy , which was recommended by his field commanders , was the only possible course of action and so successful that there are no reports in the news about iraq .
it didn 't help bush 's reputation , but in objective terms , it left his successor in a much more favourable position than might be expected .
barack obama hopes that , in afghanistan , the miracle will repeat itself .
he was again asked to increase the military contingent by his field commanders , particularly the supreme commander of the afghan operation general stanley mcchrystal , who even went against the custom of his subordinates to harshly criticise the reluctant gunners in the white house .
he asked for 40 thousand men to turn the situation around .
the president hesitated for three months , but failed to come up with anything better , and so at least the general did out of 10 thousand soldiers .
he managed to squeeze a promise out of europe for another 5 thousand , even though he himself was originally counting on 10 .
the trickiest aspect of obama 's strategy seems to be his plan to start pulling troops out of afghanistan within 18 months and to finish the process within three years . obama 's doctrine as a whole calls for more questions than it answers .
many doubt that this half- hearted increase will bear the same fruit as the action plan in iraq .
despite the internecine war of recent years , iraqi society is relatively firm on its feet and its leaders have been honouring the treaties .
the afghan situation is just the opposite - nobody can be relied upon and no treaties are being upheld .
in these conditions , it is hard for the afghan security forces to prepare , being so used to changing leaders to suit themselves .
political institutions , no matter how formally they might be set up , will be nothing more than a potemkin village in which patriarchal tribal relations will run wild .
balancing the interests of a variety of ethnic groups is unusually difficult due to the tricky relations between them , a fact which is further complicated by the influence of pakistan and iran .
even building an " operational state " , which is the most basic aim of the entire operation , does not seem particularly feasible .
the timing of obama 's strategy is foiled by his voluntarism .
over the last eight years , the situation in afghanistan has just gotten worse and worse , and is now on the verge of exploding .
only a truly romantic soul , totally unaffected by reality , could believe that the soldiers sent into the turmoil of this war for an " early return home " will bring about any miracles here .
from a political viewpoin , t it is pure irresponsibility setting a date for withdrawing the troops , as the taliban will see it as indirect acknowledgement of an american defeat .
the last nato summit showed that the willingness of the european people to take part in the operations in afghanistan is waning .
european politicians cannot and are unwilling to explain to voters what the security of germany or italy has to do with the war in the foothills of the hindu kush .
another factor which could radically stir things up is what is going on around iran .
if the situation continues to get worse and increased sanctions against iran have no effect , the united states will face the difficult question of whether to try to resolve the situation using military force or not .
this will need answering when , according to obama , america orders the victorious withdrawal of its troops from afghanistan .
any such solution will obviously also mean a dramatic turnaround in the afghan situation .
the only saving grace for barack obama is the fact that there are three more years to the presidential elections , so there 's still enough time for him to come up with another strategyif this one turns out to be a total whitewash .
managers at goldman sachs no longer to receive cash bonuses
the top management of the american bank goldman sachs will not receive their bonuses in cash this year .
the announcement came from the company as a reaction to the harsh criticism of their salary policies .
instead of money , the group of 30 top managers will receive shares , which cannot be sold for another five years .
the shares can also be confiscated if the managers take excessive risks .
according to reuters , goldman sachs is leading the effort to link wall street bonuses with long- term performance .
i assume that wall street is well aware of the broader path it has to take , said former investment banker for jpmorgan , douglas elliott .
the problem lies in the details , he added .
goldman sachshas been targeted by critics since it set aside almost 17 billion dollars ( almost 300 billion crowns ) for bonuses in the first three quarters of this year .
reuters claims that the total bonuses awarded by the business this year , despite today 's announcement , exceeds 20 billion dollars .
high bonuses in the banking sector , what with the economic crisis , have become a political hot potato .
on wednesday , britain announced that it had decided to charge a one- off fifty percent tax rate on bankers ' bonuses exceeding 25,000 pounds ( around 712,000 czk ) .
france is preparing similar measures .
this year , women were awarded the nobel prize in all fields except physics
in stockholm today , a record five women received nobel prizes from the swedish king carl xvi gustaf in the professional categories and for literature .
in addition to four scientists , they also included the german writer herta müller , originally from romania .
the nobel prize for medicine went to two american biologists , elizabeth blackburn and carol greider , together with their fellow countryman jack szostak , for their research in chromosomes .
the prize for chemistry was won by the israeli ada jonath , together with the americans venkatraman ramakrishnan and thomas steitz , for their work to clarify the structure and function of ribosomes .
the last award was the nobel prize for economics , which went to the americans elinor ostrom and oliver williamson for their analysis of economic management .
the only specialised category which nobody won this year was physics .
today , this prize was won by the scientists charles kao , for his research in optical fibres , and george smith and willard boyle , for inventing the ccd ship , which is the basis for all digital cameras , faxes , and astronomical telescopes .
all the winners received a diploma , the nobel medal , and a certificate for a monetary reward .
in each category , this award totals ten million swedish krona ( approximately 25 million czk ) .
if there are multiple winners , they share the prize money between them .
traditionally , the most highly - anticipated award , the nobel peace prize , went to the american president barack obama in the norwegian city of oslo this afternoon .
in his speech , he acknowledged that the award was controversial , as he is just starting out in office and , moreover , heads a country which is currently at war in two countries - iraq and afghanistan .
in defence of his policy he added , however , that these wars were essential in order to bring about peace , despite the high cost .
minister janota considers resignation . klaus invites him to the castle
on friday morning , president václav klaus will meet with the finance minister eduard janota , who is considering resigning as he does not agree with the government 's budget for next year as approved on wednesday by the chamber of deputies .
it is assumed that the budget and also janota 's possible continuation in office will be the topic of friday 's meeting .
the budget has also been criticised by klaus .
he claims the deficit is too high , which is worsening the public funding crisis .
the meeting was announced by the president 's spokesman radim ochvat .
janota wants to discuss his future on monday with the prime minister , jan fischer .
according to the budget act , which klaus is due to sign , the czech republic should get by with a deficit of 163 billion crowns .
however , on wednesday , the house approved the left 's proposals to transfer funds , gave state employees a pay rise , and allocated extra money for social services and for direct payments to farmers .
the government criticised the social democrats ' proposals , saying that they will surreptitiously increase the budget deficit .
a bitter political dispute has broken out between the left on the one hand , and the government , klaus , and the right on the other , leading to questions about the future of fischer 's interim government , which was agreed on in spring by the ods , čssd and green party .
critics claim that the budget , as approved by the house , essentially does away with the package of saving measures put into effect by fischer 's government in autumn and which it believes should stop the state falling deeper into debt .
at a breakfast meeting with entrepreneurs today , klaus , who is behind the state budget law but is not obliged to sign it , declared that politicians have long been neglecting a " serious problem , " which is the " unsustainable deficit level " of public finances .
now , he claims , there is no good solution to this .
the only thing that could improve the situation is a strong government which could fall back on the broader consensus of the political parties , the president says .
ods chairman mirek topolánek said that it was a terrible budget and that the government should rethink continuing in office .
the vice - chairman of the ods , petr nečas , told čtk that the concept of an interim government supported by the čssd , ods , and the green party is evidently no longer working .
in response to this , premier fischer described this statement as " strong words . "
the head of the čssd , jiří paroubek , reacted to topolánek by saying that what was terrible was the deficit in the budget prepared by the former topolánek government for this year , which exceeds 200 billion crowns .
on wednesday the čssd declared the approval of next year 's budget to be a success .
the people 's party was also satisfied .
mandela played by morgan freeman in clint eastwood 's new film
south africans claim that the new hollywood film invictus will tell the world a lot about their country , its struggle and its victories , despite some people criticising the fact that the main roles are played by american actors .
it is a story about sport , race relations , and nelson mandela .
the life of the tireless fighter against the racist system of apartheid in south africa and its first black president , nelson mandela , is played by the oscar - winning american actor morgan freeman .
freeman said that he had asked ninety - one- year - old mandela if he could play him in eastwood 's film .
another leading role in the film is played by matt damon .
i told him : ' if i 'm going to play you , i 'll need access to you " .
the seventy - two- year - old actor , who won an oscar for his role in eastwood 's boxing drama million dollar baby , has already played roles such as the leader of the anti- slavery movement who eventually himself became a slave , a fictitious president of the usa , and even a god in evan almighty , but has only rarely portrayed someone who is still alive and means so much to people as mandela .
the former south african statesman spent 27 years in prison for his active role in ending apartheid in south africa .
he was released in 1990 and was then the country 's president for four years .
in 1993 he was awarded the nobel peace prize .
invictus is latin for ' unconquered ' and is the name of a poem by the english writer william ernest henley , published in 1875 .
the challenge was to speak like he does .
the film tells the true story of how nelson mandela joined forces with the captain of the south african rugby team , francois pienaar , to help unify the country . the newly - elected president mandela knows that , after apartheid , his nation will still be racially and economically divided .
he believes that he can unite people through sport , so he decides to unite the rugby players who , to the world , are outsiders .
the south african team eventually makes it through to the world cup in 1995 .
freeman worked for several years to get mandela 's story onto the big screen .
my only aim was to play this role as realistically as possible , said freeman .
naturally , the greatest challenge was to speak like mandela .
the actor said that if he and world politicians were in the same ball park , he would try to meet mandela , go for dinner with him , and be behind the scenes with him before his speeches .
the most important thing was that he wanted to shake mandela 's hand .
i found out that when i take your hand , i draw on your energy , it flows into me , and i feel that i know how you are feeling , he said .
for me it 's important to try and become a different person .
in the film , matt damon portrays françois pienaar , the captain of the national rugby team , which was dominated by white players .
the actor said that he had six months in the tough world of rugby to prepare for the role .
it turned out to be a great surprise for him when he first met pienaar at his home .
i remember ringing his doorbell , he opened it , and the very first thing i said to françois pienaar was : ' i look much bigger on the screen . '
despite the evident differences in the stature of the actors compared to their real - life counterparts , under eastwood 's direction , invictus has received positive reviews and there is even talk of an oscar nomination .
the daily variety film critic todd mccarthy summed up the film by saying : " it was a great story , a very well - made film . "
in the film reviews on rottentomatoes.com , invictus has a 76 percent positive rating .
secret of the glare over norway solved : the russians were testing a rocket
strange lights of unknown origin have been seen over norway .
yesterday the russian defence ministry finally admitted that it had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile not far from the norwegian border .
however , it was another unsuccessful launch and the missile , which is known as " bulava " and should have been the pride and glory of the russian army , has gradually turned into a nightmare for the russian generals and prime minister , vladimir putin .
his repeated presence at tests on the rocket has not affected the success rate of the test flights .
the bulava has generally not lifted off or has been damaged in the air .
the russian newspapers are describing the " bulava " as " the flightless rocket . "
the rocket that doesn 't fly but lights up
this , the 13th test , started off according to plan .
but near the end of the flight there was technical damage to the missile .
apparently the engine blew up in the rocket 's third phase .
this time , the " bulava " was launched from the atomic submarine dmitrij donskij , which was cruising under the surface of the white sea .
this type of rocket can be launched from a craft which is moving and even submerged .
this makes it likely that the mysterious light over norway , caused by an unidentified flying object , was actually the malfunctioning " bulava . "
anyway , the norwegians never had any doubts that it was a russian rocket .
the generals are defending themselves this time though , claiming that it can 't be described as a total failure .
the first two phases of the rocket went well , and the accident happened during the third stage .
previously , the engines have always malfunctioned during the first phase .
even though not one test launch has been completely error - free , the defence ministry consider only six out of the thirteen tests to have been failures .
the generals are optimistic about this almost fifty - percent success rate and keep insisting that the " bulava " will eventually fly smoothly and will even carry up to ten hypersonic nuclear blocks weighing a total of 1.15 tons .
the legendary fetisov signs a year 's contract with cska moscow aged 51
the legendary defender vjačeslav fetisov will again play a professional ice - hockey match at the age of 51 .
the former world champion , olympic winner and stanley cup holder will help out his team , cska moscow , when they need him , and will evidently be playing in the fifth khl duel against saint petersburg .
fetisov , who retired at forty in 1998 , is currently the president of cska .
since denis kuljaš was injured , we urgently need another defender .
fetisov is training regularly and has agreed to help the team .
we just need to sort out a few formalities , the ap agency quoted the moscow club coach sergej němčinov as saying .
it 's not year clear whether or not the famous hockey player 's comeback will be for just one match .
i think fetisov is someone who can boost the morale of the other players , said němčinov .
according to ap , if fetisov returns to the ice , he will be the oldest russian professional hockey player .
in the nhl , the legendary attacker gordie howe played for hartford for a whole season at the age of fifty - one and scored 15 goals and 26 assists .
the oldest of the famous quintet of fetisov , kasatonov , makarov , larionov , and krutov is one of the best and most successful hockey players of all time .
in the soviet union uniform , he received two olympic gold medals , seven world championship tiles , and triumphed in the canada cup and the junior world championship .
in the second half of his career , he also enjoyed success in the nhl , when wearing the detroit uniform , he twice raised the stanley cup over his head .
since 2001 , he has been a member of the hockey hall of fame .
hyundai obliges unions . all overtime is cut
the management of the hyundai car plant in nošovice has agreed with the unions to cut all overtime .
it is because of all this forced overtime that the unions have declared a strike on monday .
this was confirmed by the hyundai spokesman , petr vaněk .
the management , however , wants to come to an agreement with the trade union leaders for one saturday shift this year .
we can 't give up on our production plan , it 's essential , so we have proposed voluntary overtime on saturday december 19th , involving two shifts , said vaněk .
the website sedmička.cz wrote that the firm had offered all employees who are to work the saturday shift a bonus of 400 czk .
this bonus will also be paid retrospectively to those who worked on saturday november 28th .
according to vaněk , the firm has decided to change how it motivates its employees to take the proposed overtime .
either they 'll claim the additional wage for the overtime or they can take time off in lieu on december 28th and extend their christmas holiday by one day , said vaněk .
additionally , all employees working the saturday shift will have their travel expenses and lunch paid for .
considering that overtime was the most pressing and thorny question for the unions , as well as for the protesting employees who brought production to such a grinding halt last week , the management decided yesterday afternoon to immediately cancel all overtime for december , said vaněk .
until last week , virtually every day the car plant workers had been forced to do two hours ' overtime on top of their normal eight - hour shifts .
after signing the agreement , the trade unions will call off the strike
further talks should be held between the car plant management and union leaders on friday morning .
on wednesday , the head of the unions , petr kuchař , said that if they came to an agreement on the demands and sign the document , they are willing to call off the strike .
the situation at the plant deteriorated sharply last wednesday when some 400 workers held a spontaneous strike to protest against the incessant overtime .
they were also protesting against bad pay conditions and alleged persecution .
the management responded by saying that employees had to work overtime to meet the demand for cars .
in monday 's announcement of the strike , the unions also asked that no sanctions be imposed against the workers who halted production last wednesday .
the trade unions are asking the firm to keep overtime to a minimum .
moreover , this year they are requesting that a 5000 crown bonus be paid for this work .
the hyundai car plant in nošovice now employs 2000 people .
the firm began series production last november .
by this september , it had made around 80,000 cars , and its current capacity is 200,000 vehicles a year .
czech discovery : a substance which works on ' tough ' forms of the hiv virus
a team of czech and german scientists has been testing a new compound which can slow the spread of the hiv virus in the body .
the main advantage of this improved substance is that it also works on viruses which have become immune to medication .
in some cases , this outweighs the fact that the compound used for the normal form of the virus does not have such a strong effect as some drugs that are already available .
no cure has yet been found for aids .
patients ' lives can be greatly prolonged by a mixture of drugs which prevent the hiv virus from multiplying in the body .
however , they have a number of side - effects .
moreover , if the propagation of the virus is not completely suppressed , it can lead to the development of resistant viruses , against which drugs are no longer effective .
the work being done by experts from three institutions , the czech academy of sciences , všcht prague , and the university of heidelberg , is opening up the way to deal with the rthe virus ' resistance .
they have shown that substances known as metallacarboranes act on the protein responsible for the proliferation of the hiv virus .
metallacarboranes are a compound of boron , hydrogen , carbon , and cobalt .
these compounds block the spread of the virus in a different way to all the other drugs in use today , and so they may get over the resistance problem .
in their work , the scientists are coming up with new ' improved ' compounds , prepared using knowledge of the molecular mechanism and its relation to the virus protein .
metallacarboranes have a unique three - dimensional structure : two multi- walled cages consisting of boron , hydrogen and carbon atoms are connected to a metal atom , in this case cobalt .
a treacherous and hardy virus
the hiv protease is the protein of the hiv virus , which is essential to the life - cycle of the virus .
the mature infectious viral corpuscles would not occur if the hiv virus was not split by the hiv protease .
if we can stop the hiv protease , we will also stop the virus from spreading through the patient 's body , the scientists explained in a press release published by the institute of organic chemistry and biochemistry of the czech academy of sciences .
in a paper published in the journal of medicinal chemistry , the scientists describe a series of compounds in which there are two pairs of cages ( see the diagram ) connected by a short organic chain , which is then systematically modified .
somewhat weaker , but more reliable
the effectiveness of this series of substances against the hiv protease has been tested in a test - tube , as well as its effectiveness against the more immune ( resistant ) strain as acquired from patients infected with the hiv virus .
the effect of metallacarboranes on the normal strain of the enzyme is not as strong as that of drugs used in clinical practice , although their effect is not diminished against the resistant strains , whereas drugs currently used are often ineffective .
the unique mechanism of the effect and also of its other properties , such as its biological and chemical stability , low toxicity , and the possibility of making other chemical modifications , make metallacarboranes an interesting compound for future research aimed at suggesting new effective drugs to combat hiv , says pavlína řezáčová , head of the structural biology laboratory at the institute of organic chemistry and biochemistry and the institute of molecular genetics of the academy of sciences .
fall - out over the budget . ods attacks fischer , who defends himself
the head of the ods , mirek topolánek , described the next year 's approved budget as " terrible " and said that premier jan fischer 's government should seriously rethink its position in office .
the government chairman described the ods statement as strong words .
apparently he will take some time to think about it .
the vice - chairman of the ods , petr nečas , said that the concept of an interim government supported by the čssd , ods , and green party , was evidently no longer working .
according to nečas , the government chairman must decide if he intends to fall back on the minority in the house as a fight against the growing deficit , or if he is to stay in office with the help of the parliamentary left .
the approaches taken by the ods and social democrats on the issue of public deficits are diametrically opposed , remarked nečas .
on wednesday , the house accepted the budget for 2010 , naturally with the left 's proposed amendments for more than 12 billion crowns .
the house gave extra money for the salaries of state employees , for social services , and for direct payments to farmers .
he government criticised the social democrats ' proposals , saying that they will surreptitiously increase the budget deficit .
the czech republic should get by with a deficit of 163 billion crowns .
before the vote , the ods left the room , complying with the government 's wishes that the amended budget is not as poor an option as the provisional budget .
disappointment and futility
the finance minister , eduard janota , has spoken about his feeling of disappointment and futility , while premier jan fischer said that the government is still assessing the current situation .
nečas is convinced that if janota were to really threaten to resign should the proposed amendments be accepted , the situation would look completely different .
according to czech television , janota has made an appointment to see the prime minister on monday after the session .
at the same time , he indicated that he was rethinking his position in office .
the reason for this is his disappointment in the budget talks .
if fischer commits himself to continuing the fight against the budget deficit , nečas believes that the čssd appointees who carried through the budget amendments have no place in the government .
the prime minister should also clearly state that he will hand in his resignation if the house approves other laws that will increase the deficit , those relating to sick pay , pensions , or the amendment to the civil servants act for example .
topolánek : ministers appointed to the ods have committed no offence
this is a matter for the ministerial chairman fischer and the government as a whole .
ministers appointed to the ods have done nothing wrong , stressed topolánek in a text report from the usa .
he pointed out that several ministries employ people in under - secretary positions who support top 09 , which voted against the budget .
nečas emphasised that , if fischer were to decide to resign on the principle of the fight against the public finances deficit , " it is totally logical and correct that he falls back on the left majority currently in the house . "
but then he would not be able to count on the support and tolerance of the civil democrats .
i haven 't thought about it , and i 'll concentrate on that when the time comes , defence minister martin barták told reporters in the house , having been elected by the civil democrats .
this afternoon , prime minister fischer flew to brussels to attend a european council meeting .
ods stands down at the request of the prime minister
nečas also stressed that , on wednesday in the house , the ods would evidently have voted against the amended budget if the prime minister had not explicitly asked the civil democrats to allow the budget to be approved .
we don 't look like orphans , we 're not little children , was how he reacted to the question of whether the ods was not hampered by the presence of the party chairman in the parliament and in the czech republic during the political negotiations regarding the budget .
i didn 't notice that my vote was missing .
back when i renounced my mandate , i knew that the following months would see the bolshevisation of the house and the destruction of all that is positive , topolánek himself responded .
the new czech railways timetable shows that fewer trains will be running for almost the same fares
from december 13th , czech railways will be cancelling or restricting some less frequented express and local trains , but will be adding more services to other lines .
as of the day the new timetable comes into force , there will be two percent fewer services in comparison with now .
most fares , including basic and special tickets , will stay the same .
more links to the capital will be available , for example , to the people in the ostrava region , as the railways are adding one pendolino to that line .
however , the express will stop running to bratislava .
there will be fewer express trains on the prague - písek - české budějovice route , and the direct service from prague - letohrad will be cut dramatically .
the region planning the greatest transport cuts is the region of hradec králové , with a total cut of eight percent , although prague and the surrounding area can expect to see a rise .
two night trains on the prague - tábor - české budějovice line are also being cut , and several express services on the prague - písek - české budějovice route will be reduced to just a few days a week .
one of the greatest changes is the introduction of the new direct line from milovice to prague , since people now travelling from milovice have to change in lysá nad labem .
this is the fifteenth line in the esko suburban system , which can now be opened since the track from lysá nad labem to milovice has been fully electrified .
long- distance services to the capital will end at the prague hlavní nádraží station .
czech railways is introducing more pendolino routes between prague and ostrava and trains to šumperk / jeseník will run on two- hour intervals .
from december 13th , passengers will no longer be able to take pendolino to bratislava .
this year 's cost of regional railways : 200 million more
express trains are ordered and paid for by the ministry of transport , and next year it will give the railways four billion crowns to cover demonstrable losses , the same amount as this year . local trains are ordered by the regional authorities , who , next year , will pay out a total of eight billion crowns for them , while almost three billion will be contributed by the state .
this year , regional trains are costing 200 million more .
czech railways have concluded a new ten - year contract for local and express trains , whereas , previously , the contract was always for one year .
the railways have praised the system , despite the fact that the great majority of fares have not been increased .
the only changes are to čd net one- day network tickets and eliška cheap internet tickets .
travellers without a customer card will find that the čd net price has increased from 450 crowns to 600 crowns .
the eliška price will now depend on the distance travelled , whereas , previously , it was a flat rate of 160 crowns to travel between any regional cities .
filipino gunmen still holding more than 50 people , children have been released
today , gunmen in the south of the philippines kidnapped 75 people , including several primary school students and their teachers .
this from the afp agency , which originally announced only 65 abductees .
all 17 of the captured children , together with their teacher , were released after eight hours .
the kidnapping happened in the province of agusan del sur .
around 19 gunmen are apparently using the hostages as a human shield in their escape from the police .
local negotiators are now trying to arrange the release of the remaining hostages .
according to afp , the gunmen are part of the new people 's army ( npa ) , which is the armed faction of the communist party of the philippines ( cpp ) .
according to ap , the police had originally been chasing the kidnappers following violence that occurred as accounts were settled between two local family clans .
in the province of maguindanao , in the south of the philippines , martial law has been declared due to the recent massacre which left 57 people dead .
the victims of the massacre on november 23rd , which was related to the elections for governor , included 30 reporters .
the governor of this southern filipino province has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the massacre , together with his father andal ampatuan , the patriarch of the influential ampatuan family .
muslim separatists are also active on mindanao .
but on tuesday , these separatists renewed peace talks with the filipino government .
the story of south africa affects everyone , says morgan freeman alias mandela
in the next few days , the new hollywood film invictus by clint eastwood will hit american cinemas , depicting part of the life of the former south african president nelson mandela .
the role of the world - famous opponent of apartheid is taken on by morgan freeman , who was apparently chosen years ago by mandela himself for his talent .
the supporting male role of the legendary south african rugby champion francois pienaar is played by matt damon .
with the film in cinemas critics and the public
nelson mandela
nelson rolihlahla mandela was born on july 18th , 1918 in mvez , in south africa .
in 1988 he was awarded the sakharov prize for freedom of thought , and in 1993 received the nobel peace prize with de klerk .
he was president of south africa from 1994 to 1999 .
there were great expectations , as he appeared in public at a time when not only was south africa busy preparing for the football world championship , but the media was also rife with worrying news about increasing racial hatred and discrimination by the black majority .
according to the ap news agency , the response to the new film has so far been generally positive in south africa , despite the number of objections to " brat - pack " hollywood stars being cast in the main roles .
however , despite what he says , morgan freeman is proud of the new film .
i had dreamt about this role for many years and prepared for it well .
i met nelson mandela many times to , as they say , draw on his energy , he said in an interview after the film 's grand premiere in los angeles .
i think it 's good that we can commemorate mandela and his mission in a film .
it is a story about south africa , but it affects everybody , he added .
in the national rugby team uniform
the film , based on the book by the british writer john carlin , entitled playing the enemy : nelson mandela and the game that made a nation , portrays the south african human rights activist during his first presidential election campaign .
in the film , morgan freeman tries to unite the two races and the populations that had so long been segregated and , like nelson mandela did in 1995 , appears in the film in the south african national rugby uniform at the world cup match , which was won by south africa .
for appearing in the kit , which is an almost sacred symbol in south africa , fourteen years ago , mandela received a standing ovation from the predominantly white spectators and gained the esteem of the white people .
perhaps a football championship can actually bring people together as one nation , said rugby player chester williams , who in 1995 was the only black person on the national team .
whether the tense situation in south africa will improve is only now becoming apparent .
white south africans , however , are sceptical , as rugby fan christopher dawson , who fled the country to go to britain , admitted in a recent interview for ln .
the championship begins on june 11th , 2010 .
transformer worth tens of millions of crowns burns in louny region
in the morning , a fire broke out in a transformer owned by čeps at the switching station in the village of výškov , near louny .
six fire engines came out to fight the fire , said the spokesman for the ústí regional firefighters , lukáš marvan .
originally , the firefighters wanted to let the transformer burn , but later changed their minds and are putting the fire out using a mix of water , foam , and special fire - suppression agents .
the fire was caused by a technical fault , a short circuit inside the transformer .
nobody was hurt , and according to company spokesperson pavla mandátová , the incident will not hinder the safe operation of the distribution station .
the damage is estimated at several tens of millions of crowns , although the exact figure will not be known until the fire has been extinguished .
mandátová says that the ruined transformer will have to be replaced with a new one .
she added that nothing like this had ever happened in the ten years that čeps has been operating , and this kind of fault was a one- off .
according to čez spokeswoman for northern bohemia , sonia holingerová hendrychová , there were no power cuts and households , offices and companies were not affected by the transformer fire .
in the czech republic , the joint stock company čeps is the exclusive operator of transmission systems and 400 kv and 220 kv power lines .
it maintains , restores and develops 39 switching stations with 67 transformers converting electricity from the transmission system to the distribution system , as well as 4339 kilometres of power lines .
jančura files a slander suit against three čssd commissioners
the owner of student agency , radim jančura , will today file a slander suit against three social democrat commissioners .
these are michal hašek , commissioner for south moravia , radko martínek , commissioner for pardubice , and olomouc commissioner martin tesařík .
jančura announced this in the twenty minutes programme on radiožurnál .
the suit relates to the company 's attempts to operate regional trains in certain regions .
however , all the regions eventually signed a long- term contract with czech railways .
so now all three commissioners are attacking us and saying that we 're getting the best out of it , while the offer we put forward was just what they themselves wanted .
they claim that we 're more expensive than czech railways , which is not true , as we know the czech railways prices that were concluded last week .
so all we can do is defend ourselves .
it 's for slander against student agency , jančura told radiožurnál .
he also said that he has proof from all the regional authorities that they did not act in accordance with european law .
he is therefore preparing a motion for the european commission .
hašek sees the suit as a further continuation of mr jančura 's great media show , which works as a free advertisement for himself and his company .
it 's understandable that i 'm prepared to defend my good name and that of my region , and i call upon the other commissioners to do the same .
i expect that this matter will clearly show that it is mr jančura who is manipulating the public over regional rail transport and using lies and false arguments , said hašek .
last week , jančura said that he is investing several million crowns in advertising to draw attention to these inappropriate actions taken by the regional authorities .
he told radiožurnál that he was halting the campaign for christmas and would restart it in the new year .
he specified that the campaign would fight corruption as such .
jančura started the campaign after the regions decided to operate regional rail links with czech railways and had not announced tenders for the order , worth around 150 billion crowns .
according to jančura this is illegal and in contravention of the principles of the european court of justice .
jančura claims that his criticism of regional rail transport has already led to his being threatened by a member of the čssd .
the only threat was that if we don 't stop this , we could lose our bus licence .
he introduced himself as a member of the čssd , i know who it was but i 'm not going to say his name , jančura told radiožurnál today .
vaccinations against pneumococcus will be free and voluntary .
starting january , vaccinations against pneumococcus will radically change ingrained habits .
these should be the first free yet voluntary vaccinations for families .
but some are saying that compulsory vaccinations would be more effective .
preparations for the introduction of free anti- pneumococcus vaccinations are reaching a peak .
the pharmaceutical institute is already setting the maximum price for vaccines to be paid for by health insurance companies .
experts are now clear on how to proceed with the vaccinations .
new vaccinations
vaccines free of charge for children born in august
starting january , there could be free anti- pneumococcus vaccinations for children born on or after august 2nd .
the condition is that they have not received any prior vaccinations .
anyone who began to be vaccinated last year or earlier will have to pay for any later re- vaccinations .
the first batch of vaccinations must be given when the child is between 3 and 5 months old .
last year , one in four families had their children voluntarily vaccinated against pneumococcus .
parents paid 1600 crowns or more per vaccination .
the youngest children require four vaccinations .
overall , experts estimate that health insurance companies spend 300 to 450 thousand crowns a year on vaccinations .
but they save on the treatment that unvaccinated children would otherwise need .
so far , the state has been paying around 500 thousand crowns a year on all general vaccinations for children .
subsidised vaccinations were introduced as part of the janota package .
pneumococcus causes infections of the middle ear , but also serious infections of the cerebral membranes and blood poisoning .
pneumococcal infections claim the lives of up to 28 children under the age of ten every year , according to hospital figures .
besides the czech republic , around 40 countries have introduced general anti- pneumococcus vaccinations for children .
will vaccinations be compulsory ?
some believe that in the future these vaccinations could be compulsory .
as of january , they should be paid for by the insurance companies and not compulsory .
the head of the nahlas civil association , rudolf kalovský , says that compulsory vaccinations would be better .
his association has long been promoting pneumococcus vaccines .
the specialists at the international conference that our association attended were not very happy to hear that we have voluntary vaccinations .
it 's not completely ideal .
on the other hand , we 're happy that we managed to get at least these voluntary vaccinations in place .
i think this is the route we have to take , said kalovský .
the ministry of health , however , does not want to change the pneumococcus vaccination system .
we 're not considering it at this time , said ministry spokesman vlastimil sršeň .
voluntary vaccinations have their drawbacks , say doctors
the chairwoman of the professional society of paediatricians , hana cabrnochová , acknowledges that voluntary vaccinations have their drawbacks .
if all children were vaccinated , the number of revaccinations could then be cut . " with vaccines costing so much , we can understand the political decision that vaccinations should be offered on a voluntary basis , " says cabrnochová .
experts assume that , starting next year , more than 80 percent of new parents will have their babies vaccinated against pneumococcus .
the anti- pneumococcus vaccinations are a milestone in that they are the first general vaccinations for children to be paid for by the insurance companies , not the state .
insurance companies should fund prevention to save money on later treatment , explains cabrnochová .
doctors will have to buy vaccines themselves
however , practising paediatricians are concerned when it comes to buying the vaccines .
according to the original plan , the vaccines would be purchased by the insurance companies , and doctors would receive them in the same way that the state issues drugs for other vaccinations .
some ministers , however , are worried that the insurance companies could " run wild with health insurance funds " .
so doctors will have to buy the vaccines and wait until the insurance companies refund the money .
it is estimated that practising paediatricians will have to spend 40 thousand a month on vaccines , which is a lot of money .
it certainly won 't be easy , says cabrnochová .
us artist 's son ' in museum theft '
the son of renowned american fantasy artist frank frazetta , has been charged with trying to steal paintings worth $ 20m ( £ 12m ) from his father 's museum .
police in pennsylvania say alfonso frank frazetta was caught loading 90 paintings into his vehicle and trailer .
they say mr frazetta and another man used an excavator to break into the museum in the pocono mountains region .
mr frazetta snr , aged 81 , is famed for his depiction of characters such as conan the barbarian and tarzan .
the artist was in florida at the time of the incident , the associated press news agency reported .
ap quoted an unnamed police official as saying the younger mr frazetta may have been motivated by a family feud .
a police affidavit said mr frazetta jnr , 52 , claimed he had been instructed by his father to " enter the museum by any means necessary to move all the paintings to a storage facility " , the agency reported .
mr frazetta snr denied granting any such permission , the agency said .
labour defends budget tax rises
ministers have defended the tax rises and spending cuts announced in the pre- budget report against criticism from the opposition , business and unions .
the tories said alistair darling " blew " an opportunity to show he was serious about cutting the deficit by delaying decisions until after the election .
the chancellor also came under fire for hitting low and middle income workers .
among his headline proposals are a 0.5 % rise in national insurance and a 1 % cap on public pay settlements from 2011 .
national insurance anger
unions have protested that low - paid workers are being penalised for a recession not of their making and warned of " problems " ahead .
the national insurance increase - which will raise about £ 3bn a year - has angered the business community , which says it is a tax on jobs when the focus should be on economic recovery .
the increase , limited to those earning more than £ 20,000 a year , will hit about 10 million workers .
key points of pbr
national insurance up by a further 0.5 % from april 2011
economy to shrink by worse than expected 4.75 % this year
new 50 % tax on banker bonuses
1p rise in corporation tax for small firms scrapped
tax rebates for electric cars and wind turbines
state pension to rise by 2.5 %
according to treasury estimates , someone earning £ 30,000 will be £ 90 a year worse off and someone on £ 40,000 will be £ 190 worse off , while someone earning £ 10,000 a year will be £ 110 better off .
ministers said their target of halving the deficit by 2013 meant " difficult decisions " but insisted that 60 % of the burden of extra taxes would fall upon the top 5 % of earners .
treasury minister stephen timms denied the tax rises and spending cuts outlined were a " drop in the ocean " compared to what was needed .
" these are large numbers . they will deliver for us this halving of the deficit which is absolutely essential over the next four years , " he told the bbc .
mr timms said he was confident the economy would return to growth by the turn of the year .
however , labour forecasts for future economic growth - which will influence the amount it has to borrow and how quickly he deficit is cut - have been questioned after the chancellor was forced to revise earlier figures .
in his statement , he said the economy was likely to contract 4.75 % this year - far worse than the 3.5 % decline predicted in april - while borrowing would be £ 3bn higher than earlier estimated .
' blown opportunity '
the conservatives , who will launch a new advertising campaign on thursday warning of labour 's " debt crisis " , said projected borrowing of £ 789bn over the next six years was unsustainable .
mnisters had failed to lay out a credible plan for how they would pay this back , they added , " cynically " ducking tough choices until after the election - which must be held by june 2010 .
" they have not included anything of significance they are going to do , " said shadow treasury minister philip hammond . " they had an opportunity to do it and they have blown it . "
" the all important announcements will come after the election , whoever wins it "
roger bootle , deloitte
labour insist that schools , hospitals and the police will be protected from future cuts unlike under tory proposals which would see the deficit cut faster and further .
but the lib dems said the money raised by tax rises and spending cuts would be used to support spending next year not to reduce the deficit , arguing the plans were " built on sand " .
the bbc 's political editor nick robinson said some of the timing of the announcements - such as the above inflation increase in some disability benefits next april - would leave the chancellor open to accusations of electioneering as the money may simply be clawed back the year after .
however , labour insist the extra help is being provided when people need it most and the situation will be reviewed in september 2010 .
' phoney budget '
although ministers did not publish spending details for beyond 2011 , economists said it was clear the squeeze on public spending would only begin to bite in the medium term .
the respected institute for fiscal studies said the chancellor 's figures implied substantial cuts in many areas , potentially including transport , higher education , science and defence , in the future .
" it really is holding off the pain until later , " said its director robert chote .
" the all important announcements will come after the election , whoever wins it , " added roger bootle , economic adviser to accountants deloitte .
" this has been the phoney pre- budget report . the markets realise this . "
fbi probes ' us pakistan arrests '
the fbi is investigating the arrest in pakistan of five reported us men on suspicion of extremist links .
the men were arrested in a raid on a house in sarghoda in eastern punjab province , pakistan 's us embassy told the bbc .
the fbi has said it is investigating whether they are the same men who were reported missing from their homes in the us state of virginia last month .
the us state department said it was also seeking information on the men .
three of them are reported to be of pakistani descent , one of egyptian heritage and the other of a yemeni background .
" if they are american citizens , we of course are going to be very interested in the charges that they 've been detained on and in what sort of circumstances they 're being held , " said spokesman ian kelly .
fbi spokeswoman katherine schweit said the agency was aware of the arrests and was in contact with the families of the missing students .
" we are working with pakistan authorities to determine their identities and the nature of their business there , if indeed these are the students who had gone missing , " she said .
the pakistani embassy in washington said the men were arrested in a house belonging to an uncle of one of them .
he said the house was already of interest to local police and that no charges had yet been filed against the arrested men .
secretary of state hillary clinton declined to comment on the arrests , reported the reuters news agency , but said the us had to " work more closely with both afghanistan and pakistan to try to root out the infrastructure of terrorism that continues to recruit and train people " .
the five students were reported missing from their homes in northern virginia by their families in late november .
amnesty condemns iranian ' abuses '
human rights in iran are as poor as at any time over the past 20 years , according to a report from campaign group amnesty international .
the report details " patterns of abuse " by the regime before and after disputed presidential elections in june .
one man quoted in the report said he had been beaten and burned with cigarettes . another said he was threatened with rape .
iran has dismissed previous criticism of its human rights record .
officials have said such criticism is politically motivated .
thousands of people were arrested and dozens killed in iran after the disputed election of president mahmoud ahmadinejad led to the largest street protests since the 1979 islamic revolution .
dozens have been given jail terms , and prosecutors say at least five people have been sentenced to death .
bbc tehran correspondent , jon leyne , who is now in london , says that early in the protests , the supreme leader , ayatollah ali khamenei , accepted some of the allegations of abuse , ordering the closure of the kahrizak detention centre .
but since then , there has been almost no tolerance of criticism by the authorities , our correspondent says .
' false confession '
amnesty international cited the account of 26 -year-old computing student ebrahim mehtari , who said he was accused of " working with facebook networks " and protesting against the election result .
" they frequently beat me on the face , " he was quoted as saying .
" i was burned with cigarettes under my eyes , on the neck , head ... they threatened to execute me and they humiliated me . "
after five days he signed a false confession and was taken out and left in the street , still bleeding and semi - conscious , amnesty said .
in august , defeated presidential candidate mehdi karroubi said some protesters detained after the election had been tortured to death in prison and others had been raped .
iranian officials denied the rape claims , but admitted that abuses had taken place .
amnesty also cited the case of a former detainee who said he was held in a container with 75 others for more than eight weeks at a detention centre at kahrizak .
amnesty accepted that the iranian parliament and judiciary had established committees to investigate the post- election unrest and the government 's response , but it said the mandate and powers of the bodies were unclear and the parliamentary committee 's findings had not been made public .
the group said at least 90 people had been arrested in the past three weeks to forestall further demonstrations .
ski slope is created in city park
more than 100 tonnes of artificial snow were used to turn a bristol landmark into a piste for a competition .
the piste in the park event attracted 16 semi - professional skiers and snow borders competing for cash prizes .
at the top of the slope in brandon hill park there was a short jump ramp before a 100m - long slope .
fourth - year medical student john hickman said there was a beautiful view from the top of the slope but it was pretty daunting .
it 's a beautiful view with all the city lights below all twinkling .
there 's some of the best skiers and snow borders in the county here - some real talent , " he added .
prizes were awarded for the best tricks - or manoeuvres performed on the slope .
after thursday evening 's event the snow will be left to melt away .

can islam be french ?
pluralism and pragmatism in a secularist state .
at a time when swiss voters have called for a ban on the construction of minarets and there is widespread alarm over the supposed islamisation of europe , john bowen , an american academic , has written an informed and measured account of whether muslims can integrate -- and are integrating -- into one of the continent 's most avowedly secular societies .
some readers will come to this new book as admirers of the author 's last work , " why the french don 't like headscarves " ( 2006 ) , an elegant and closely argued study of an issue that divided and preoccupied the country for a decade and a half , and whose effects are still felt today .
mr bowen 's latest book has a broader and more ambitious canvas .
as a good anthropologist , he wants to know not just what the politicians and the media are saying about islam in france , but what is actually happening on the ground .
he has spent months in the mosques , schools and institutes which now provide france 's 5m - 6m muslims with what mr bowen calls " islamic spaces " .
he is a good listener , reproducing debates between teachers and students about the questions that concern them most .
should a muslim get married in a mosque or a town hall ( or both ) ?
should young muslims be taught about evolution and gay rights ?
can a muslim woman marry a non- muslim man ?
is it legitimate for a muslim to use an interest - based banking system to get a mortgage ?
it is these seemingly mundane issues , he argues , that are the stuff of daily life rather than the political dramas that preoccupy the media .
the author identifies a new generation of imams , teachers and intellectuals , none of them household names , with the possible exception of tariq ramadan , a swiss - born arab muslim scholar and academic .
this new generation is trying to open up the debate about how to be both a good muslim and a good citizen in a modern secular society .
they are not having the argument all their way .
conservatives are suspicious of the very idea of a french or european islam .
the thinkers and activists whom mr bowen interviews tend to be at odds with their salafi counterparts -- advocates of the purist sunni islam associated with saudi arabia -- who nowadays have a small but influential presence among europe 's muslims .
mr bowen thinks that muslim values and french secularism could be compatible .
but accommodation requires give - and - take on both sides .
he questions how far french policymakers ( and the intellectual elite that so fiercely guards laïcité ) are really committed to pluralism .
he suggests that muslims are probably getting a rawer deal than the catholics , protestants and jews who have also had to make their historic compromises with secular republicanism .
rather than a growing pragmatism , he detects a " tightening of the value - screws " .
can islam be french ? after reading this book , one is inclined to say , " yes , but not yet . "
the bleakest outlook in the world
the arctic is changing faster and more dramatically than any other environment on the planet .
the ice that defines it is melting with alarming speed , taking with it life that can survive nowhere else .
oil , gas , shipping and fishing interests have been heading into the newly open water , with diplomats , lawyers , and now authors , in their wake .
in " on thin ice " richard ellis , a writer and illustrator , paints a natural history of the icon of the north , the polar bear .
well - versed in the complicated history and politics of whaling , he describes the long tradition of arctic explorers who proved themselves by taking on the white bear .
admiral nelson 's encounter as a plucky 14 -year-old midshipman fighting only with the butt of his musket is surely a myth , but others are true .
young bears , captured as they swam after the bodies of their newly killed mothers , were caught and sent to zoos and circuses .
one early 20th - century big - top act featured 75 polar bears at once .
even today , zoo enclosures are still typically a millionth of the area of a wild adult 's range . the climate is rarely suitable : the resident polar bear in singapore has turned green from algae growing within the hollow hairs of its coat .

mr ellis draws on the accounts of other writers and historians , and often returns to the threat that hunters pose to the survival of the species .
although banned in norway , america and russia , the killing continues in greenland and canada , where hunters in helicopters and skidoo - riding inuit indians both use high - powered assault rifles to bring down their quarry .
ironically it is in the waters towards the north of those two hunting nations that the ice will last longest .
in his new book , " after the ice " , alun anderson , a former editor of new scientist , offers a clear and chilling account of the science of the arctic and a gripping glimpse of how the future may turn out there .
not that scientists have all the answers .
neither atmospheric scientists nor oceanographers can adequately account for the speed of the changes .
it is not for want of trying .
fridtjof nansen 's pioneering journeys at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century first hinted at the whirling of the ice pack .
cold - war submarines then mapped the shifting ridges running beneath it .
satellite surveys and large arrays of iceberg - mounted probes are a useful addition , but much is still done by hardy individuals camped out in the cold .
mr anderson looks in on the extraordinary , tiny world of the tributary system within the arctic ice , formed by trickles of briny water which gets squeezed as it freezes .
but from the bear above to the microscopic wonders within , all are doomed once the summer ice goes , which is expected to happen at some point between 2013 and 2050 .
' in a few months ... this could be us '
marines among 6,000 who place wreaths on graves at arlington
pfc. de 'angello robinson , 19 , traveled seven hours by bus to place a single wreath on the tomb of a soldier whom he 'd never met .
for him , and the other marines who took the trip from camp johnson in jacksonville , n.c. to arlington national cemetery to decorate graves , the day was about paying tribute to men and women who once stood in their shoes .
in a few months , from where we are getting shipped out , this could be us , said robinson of the fallen soldiers .
if it is us , i would want somebody to do the same for me so i 'm just trying to show respect .
he was one of more than 6,000 volunteers who gathered saturday morning to place wreaths on veterans ' gravesites across several sections of arlington ceremony .
in 1992 , morrill worcester , owner of worcester wreath company in harrington , maine , began the event when he and several others decided to decorate several hundred gravesites at arlington ceremony .
now an 18 -year-old tradition , morrill and his wife karen , make the trip every year stopping in different cities along the way to host events dedicated to the people in the military and victims of terrorism .
the worcesters also founded a non- profit , wreaths across america , which has spread the event across other states .
this year , volunteers placed more than 16,000 wreaths on the graves at arlington cemetery , areas at the pentagon , graves at fayetteville national cemetery in arkansas , battery park in new york city and on the memorial site for united airlines flight 93 in shanksville , pa .
for the second year , the walmart foundation donated more than $ 150,000 to purchase , and transport the wreaths .
charleen hunt , 70 , of westminster , said she made the trip to arlington in honor of her husband , a deceased career military man .
while her husband is not buried at arlington , hunt said this was her way of giving back to those who made sacrifices .
it 's a small way civilians can support our troops , she said .
it 's like visiting a family gravesite .
wrapped in layers of warm clothing , volunteers walked across the cemetery 's expansive lawns and hills .
volunteers targeted older tombs from world war i , world war ii , and the war in vietnam because they are not visited as often as newer graves , organizers said .
the mood was upbeat as children played and couples held hands while carrying the fresh pine to the graying tombstones .
each circular wreath was a deep green with a small red bow fastened across the top .
nearby , section 60 , where most veterans of the wars in iraq and afghanistan are buried , remained virtually silent .
the united service organizations donated 1,000 wreaths to decorate the section but the somber mood of the current wars filled the area .
individuals openly wept , others prayed , and families and friends held each other in the frigid air .
some read aloud names carved into the stones while others bowed to see small black and white place cards pushed inside wet mud for those whose tombstones have not yet been completed .
sandra lockwood was one of the many mothers wiping tears from her eyes in front of her son 's grave .
she drove eight hours from zanesfield , ohio to visit the gravesite of marine gunnery sgt. david shane spicer who died in combat in july .
nobody should ever forget why we 're free . . .my son paid for that , she said .
" when i 'm long gone , i want someone to remember him . "
u.s. government contractor arrested by cuban officials
the cuban government has arrested a u.s. government contractor who was distributing cellphones and laptop computers in the country , state department officials said saturday .
the contractor , who has not yet been identified , works for development alternatives inc . , based in bethesda .
the company works on projects for clients such as the u.s. agency for international development and the world bank .
consular officers with the u.s. interest section in havana are seeking access to the detainee , who was arrested dec . 5 .
the specific charges have not been made public , though under cuban law , a cuban citizen or a foreign visitor can be arrested for nearly anything under the claim of " dangerousness . "
all so-called counter - revolutionary activities , which include mild protests and critical writings , carry the risk of arrest .
anti- government graffiti and speech are considered serious crimes .
cuba has a fledging blogging community , led by the popular commentator yoani sánchez , who often writes about how she and her husband are followed and harassed by government agents .
sánchez has repeatedly applied for permission to leave the country to accept awards but has been denied permission .
the detention of an american contractor may likely raise tensions between the castro brothers communist government in cuba and the obama administration , which has been pursuing a " go - slow " approach to improving relations with the island .
news of the arrest was first reported by the new york times friday night .
the new u.s. policy stresses that if the cuban government takes concrete steps , such as freeing political prisoners and creating more space for opposition , the united states will reciprocate .
cellphones and laptops are legal in cuba , though they are new and coveted commodities in a country where the average wage of a government worker is $ 15 a month .
the cuban government granted ordinary citizens the right to buy cellphones just this year ; they are used mostly for texting , as a 15 - minute telephone conversation would eat up a day 's wages .
internet use is extremely limited on the island .
it is available in expensive hotels and to foreign visitors there , and at some government outlets , such as universities .
cubans who want to log on often have to give their names to the government .
access to many web sites is restricted .
the detention of an american in cuba is rare .
most of the handful of u.s. citizens in jail in cuba are behind bars for crimes such as drug smuggling , said gloria berbena , the press officer at the u.s. interests section in havana .
berbena said she could not provide more information on the arrest .
the arrest and detention are clearly wrong .
an activity that in any other open society would be legal -- giving away free cellphones -- is in cuba a crime , said jose miguel vivanco , director of the americas program of the group human rights watch , which recently issued a tough report on freedoms in cuba called " new castro , same cuba , " a reference to the installation of raul castro as the leader of the country to replace his ailing older brother fidel .
vivanco said that the accused are often arrested , tried and imprisoned in a day .
he said that any solution would likely be political and that the cuban government often provokes a negative reaction in the united states just as the two countries begin to move toward more dialogue .
pakistani officials unraveling plot to send men to afghanistan
pakistani authorities on saturday zeroed in on the alleged mastermind of a plot to send five northern virginia men to afghanistan to kill u.s. troops , saying they hope the case could help unravel an extensive network of terrorist recruiters who scour the internet for radicalized young men .
investigators said they were hunting for a shadowy insurgent figure known as saifullah , who invited the men to pakistan after first discovering them when one made comments approving of terror attacks on the internet video site youtube .
saifullah guided the men once they were in pakistan , attempting to help them reach the remote area in pakistan 's tribal belt that is home to al-qaeda and its terrorist training camps .
but a pakistani intelligence official who had been briefed on the case said saturday that saifullah was unsuccessful in convincing al-qaeda commanders that the men were not part of a cia plot to infiltrate the terrorist network .
as a result , they were marooned for days in the eastern city of sargodha , far from the forbidding mountains of the northwest that have become a terrorist haven .
they were regarded as a sting operation .
that 's why they were rejected , said the official , who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case .
the official said the men were undeterred and were still trying to acquire the right endorsements to gain access to the al-qaeda camps when they were arrested by pakistani law enforcement .
the case of the five -- who remain in pakistan and are being questioned by the fbi -- underscores the critical role of recruiters in identifying potential terrorists and , perhaps more importantly , determining who can be trusted .
since the sept . 11 , 2001 , attacks , u.s. intelligence has made it a top priority to try to place human assets inside al-qaeda .
the organization 's recruiters act as gatekeepers , keeping out those who are not serious about their commitment to holy war , and those who could be spies .
would - be american recruits are treated by al-qaeda with special scrutiny , analysts said .
but they are also considered enormously appealing to the group because of their potential to access u.s. targets and because of their propaganda value .
but evan kohlmann , senior analyst with the u.s. - based nefa foundation , said terror groups have also become much more cautious in recent years about who they allow in because u.s. intelligence agencies have become experts in their recruiting methods .
if you 're trying to sink someone into these groups , what better way than to follow the recruitment model that so many have already followed ? kohlmann said .
the model is one that has become far more web - based .
tens of thousands protest in copenhagen , demand climate ' action '
tens of thousands of protesters marched on the streets here saturday , demanding bolder action on climate from the negotiators working inside the city 's bella convention center .
protesters said as many 100,000 people joined in the event , but police estimated the count was closer to 25,000 .
the event was relatively peaceful , though a handful of masked activists set off small explosives near a group of government buildings downtown .
on a day when little happened in the u.n. - sponsored climate talks , thousands of activists walked across the city holding banners in english saying " there is no planet b " and one in spanish declaring , " the earth is saying , ' enough . '
several celebrities joined the protest , including danish model and photographer helena christensen , who said that traveling to her mother 's native country of peru made me aware of the heartbreaking issues the country is dealing with due to the impacts of climate changes that are already occurring . "
this is part of the reason why i have decided to join the big march -- to pass on the word and to appeal to the world 's leaders to deliver a fair , ambitious and binding deal , she said .
it is not an easy task , but it needs to be done , there is no way around it anymore .
the police kept the protesters from getting too close to the bella center , and said they had arrested 19 people , primarily on the grounds that they had either worn masks or carried pocket knives .
those activities are banned during demonstrations under danish law .
according to one bystander , who asked not to be identified because he is involved in the climate talks , activists sporting masks and black outfits set off several explosives near copenhagen 's main canal , which is nearby several ministries .
they were lobbing them by the buildings , he said , adding they began as flares but were followed by " a couple big explosions . "
inside the convention center , people gathered around television screens to watch the march throughout the afternoon .
but the protest did not seem to penetrate the consciousness of key officials such as su wei , china 's chief climate negotiator .
when asked whether he thought the demonstration was having a constructive impact on the international deliberations , he replied in english , " actually , that is something that i was not aware of . "
he then continued in mandarin , saying , " because the venue is large , i cannot hear what is happening outside . "
he observed that whether the march was hurting or helping depended on one 's perspective .
it shows the concentration of the general public and different sectors on the subject of climate change , he said .
on the other hand , " you can also say that they disrupt the negotiations , or the freedom of other people .
test data reveal stubborn racial gaps
last week 's federal report card on math achievement was a welcome piece of good news for d.c. public schools .
although the district still lags far behind the country 's top - performing systems , the report card showed fourth - and eighth - graders making strides at a faster pace over the past two years than cities including atlanta , chicago and new york .
but what remains embedded in the latest numbers from the national assessment of educational progress is the persistent achievement gap between african american and white students both locally and nationally .
the average scores of white d.c. fourth - graders over the past two years grew from 262 to 270 ( on a scale of 500 ) , but their african american peers ' rose just three points , from 209 to 212 .
the achievement gap actually grew between 2007 and 2009 , from 53 to 58 points .
african american progress in the eighth grade remained essentially flat , dipping a statistically insignificant one point , from 245 to 244 .
average white scores were not included in the test results because the sample size wasn 't large enough .
the picture across a six - year stretch isn 't more encouraging .
the gap separating white and black fourth - graders in 2003 , when the first naep in the district was given , was 60 scale points ( 262 to 202 ) .
although the scores achieved by children in both groups have increased during this period , the difference has barely narrowed to 58 .
some education advocates in the district expressed concern last week that the gains celebrated by chancellor michelle a. rhee and mayor adrian m. fenty ( d ) were propelled largely by white students who are already high achievers .
it would suggest that we 've raised the aggregate by treating those at the higher end of the scale , which is problematic and troublesome , said jeff smith , executive director of d.c. voice , a nonprofit group that advocates for educational equality in the district .
i 'm not jumping up and down about a two- or three - point spread , said d.c. council member kwame r. brown ( d - at large ) , who has a daughter in the fourth grade at eaton elementary .
a frequent critic of rhee 's management style , brown said the message of the test scores is that the city 's middle schools are in desperate need of attention .
clearly , you always want to see the plus signs , and i respect that .
but what 's scary is we 're not spending nearly the time and energy we need to spend on our middle schools .
rhee said the district needs to continue to find better ways to address the needs of low - achieving students .
this fall , for example , some teachers are being trained to use a new reading curriculum , the wilson reading system , targeted to students in the upper elementary and middle school grades who didn 't master the basics of reading early in their school careers and are significantly behind their peers .
everyday mathematics , a k - through - sixth - grade math curriculum emphasizing games and real - life experiences that was brought to the district under former superintendent clifford janey , is credited with some of the naep progress reported last week .
i just think we have to keep working at bringing the best interventions to those students who are below grade level , rhee said .
others say that the naep 's results highlight the question of whether rhee can continue to lift the overall performance of the system and still provide the additional money and resources for low - performing schools that will be necessary to narrow the gap .
there is a sort of rough - edged dilemma here for michelle rhee , said bruce fuller , an education professor at the university of california at berkeley who studies urban test scores .
the conventional policy remedy is to target your resources and management reforms on schools located in the poorest sections of d.c.
so the targeting may yield political repercussions that go against that important agenda .
but the rub , of course , is like other urban superintendents , she 's trying to hold on to the white and black middle class .
our focus is on ensuring that we build a system of great schools .
we need to strengthen our neighborhood schools so that all families , regardless of where they live , are confident that their children can get an excellent public education .
janey , now superintendent of schools in newark , said in an interview this week that one essential element to closing the achievement gap is to lengthen the traditional public school year , currently 180 days in the district , to compete with charter schools .
you have to get up near 200 days to have the force of change , said janey , who came to agreement with his teachers ' union last year on a 185 - day year , which he regards as " a marker " for seeking a bigger increase in the next contract .
making higher education a part of more futures
the tour bus pulled into gettysburg college with a loud wheeze .
graciela rodriguez , 12 , stepped off and blinked for a moment at the white columns , brick facades and emerald lawns .
graciela 's parents had barely graduated from high school in el salvador .
until recently , graciela herself , who was born in silver spring and lives in riverdale , had never set foot on a college campus .
yet as she and the other eighth - graders in the group explored gettysburg , where the tuition runs $ 38,690 a year , their attitude was less that of awestruck visitors than of enthusiastic prospective students .
yes ! this is where i 'll be ! exclaimed graciela , who would like to study medicine , when the guide announced that they 'd entered the science building .
wow , really ? she said thoughtfully , when told of the school 's low professor - to - student ratio .
the pennsylvania college was the seventh the kids had visited on their three - day tour , and by now they had completely absorbed its intended message : the question is not whether you 're going to college .
the question is where .
although there is mounting concern about the large number u.s. - born children of hispanic immigrants who drop out of high school or get pregnant as teenagers , there are also hundreds of thousands who are getting the college educations they need to enter the middle class .
in fact , one in five of these " second - generation " hispanics graduates from college -- a notable achievement given that so many of their immigrant parents , mostly mexicans and central americans , entered the united states without finishing high school .
their success stories are important , researchers say , because they point the way forward for a generation that will play an outsize role in the country 's workforce .
those who study high achievers say they often have a natural affinity for school and an innate drive to succeed .
many also have parents who set lofty goals for their children and find ways to compensate for their unfamiliarity with american schools .
but mentoring programs also can play an enormous role in helping graciela and millions of children like her make it to college -- particularly if those efforts are sustained over time .
when you 're looking at low - income kids whose parents don 't have the experience and the skills to help them navigate through the system , any single intervention at any one point in time is not going to solve it , said patricia gándara , a researcher at the university of california , davis , who has studied latino students .
we need to think about providing a supportive network for these kids from preschool all the way on through high school .
the federal program that funded graciela 's college tour is a useful example .
known as gear up , it provides more than $ 300 million a year to local school systems to run college prep programs that begin when low - income students are in middle school and continue until they finish high school .
since 1999 , the program has served more than 10 million students , with more than 60 percent going on to college , according to the u.s. department of education .
iraqi oil ministry reaches deals with 10 foreign oil companies
despite concerns about violence and political instability , the iraqi government managed to attract major oil companies to rebuild its ailing infrastructure during two auctions that concluded saturday .
the 10 deals the iraqi oil ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that china , russia and european oil firms are poised to play a major role in refurbishing iraq 's oil industry , crippled by decades of war and sanctions .
american companies walked away with stakes in just two of the 10 auctioned fields .
seven american companies had paid to participate in the second auction , which began friday .
the only one that submitted a bid lost .
two american companies reached deals for fields auctioned in june .
the meager representation of american oil giants in iraq 's opening oil industry surprised analysts .
iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war , and instead of u.s. companies , you have asians and europeans leading the way , said ruba husari , the editor of iraq oil forum , an online news outlet .
it will be a long time before anything else will be on offer in iraq .
concerns over security , underscored by massive coordinated bombings tuesday , and political instability as the u.s. military withdraws , likely kept american oil companies from venturing more forcefully in iraq , which has the world 's third - largest proven crude reserves , analysts said .
u.s. firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals , particularly the chinese and other government controlled energy firms , have markedly lower labor costs and are more prone to take risks because they don 't respond to shareholders .
exxon - mobil and occidental petroleum inc. were the only american companies that reached deals with the ministry .
major u.s. firms such as chevron and conocophillips , which have cultivated close ties with the iraqi oil ministry and have provided technical advice in recent years , walked away empty - handed .
russian companies lukoil and gazprom were the top stakeholders in two of the contracts awarded this weekend .
state - owned chinese national petroleum corp. bid on more contracts than any other company and walked away with large stakes in contracts for two major fields .
we all know that china is on track to become a major economic as well as technological power , oil ministry spokesman assam jihad said .
we feel confident that the chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards iraq .
companies pre- selected to submit bids made offers that were then compared to the per barrel fee the ministry was willing to pay for boosting output above current levels at each field .
top al-qaeda planner apparently killed in pakistan
an apparent u.s. missile strike along pakistan 's border with afghanistan is believed to have killed a top al-qaeda operations planner this week , u.s. counterterrorism officials said friday .
if confirmed , this would be the second deadly attack against a senior terrorist leader this fall .
saleh al-somali was one of two arab men thought to have been killed when a pair of missiles tore into their car tuesday near the town of miran shah in north waziristan province , according to u.s. sources and pakistani officials in the region .
local authorities said the missiles were fired by an unmanned aircraft of the type operated by the cia inside pakistan 's lawless tribal belt .
they were driving in a white car , heading toward the afghan border , when the car was hit , said an official with pakistan 's civilian intelligence agency , speaking by phone from miran shah .
the official said suspected local militants rushed to the spot and quickly confiscated what remained of the " totally demolished bodies . "
local authorities were unable to verify the victims ' identities , but two u.s. counterterrorism officials cited unspecified evidence that somali was among the dead .
somali was described as a senior al-qaeda military planner who ran the terrorist group 's operations outside the afghanistan - pakistan region .
he was engaged in plotting throughout the world , said one senior official , who spoke on the condition of anonymity , citing the sensitive nature of u.s. airstrikes inside pakistani territory .
given his central role , this probably included plotting attacks against the united states and europe .
he took strategic guidance from al-qaeda 's top leadership and translated it into operational blueprints for prospective terrorist attacks .
the second u.s. official said somali had risen quickly through al-qaeda 's ranks and was well - connected with other extremist groups in the region .
he may not be a household name to some americans , but that in no way diminishes the threat he posed to us and our allies , the second official said .
if his death is confirmed , somali would be the second senior al-qaeda or taliban leader killed since september , when a similar strike killed najmuddin jalolov , the leader of a militant faction in the tribal belt , and three other top operatives .
the tempo of strikes by cia - run drones has declined since the summer , from an average of about six operations per month to two , according to a tally by the long war journal , a web site managed by a nonprofit group .
the decline may be due to improved tactics by terrorist groups , which have taken steps to limit their vulnerability while also ruthlessly killing suspected informants , the site said .
top u.n. envoy in kabul to step down
the united nations ' top envoy in afghanistan , kai eide , said friday that he would step down from his post in march , ending a tumultuous tenure that was marred by allegations of widespread corruption in afghanistan 's u.n. - backed presidential election .
eide 's departure comes as the obama administration has decided to send an additional 30,000 u.s. troops to afghanistan .
the u.n. envoy said that he supports the surge but expressed concern that the u.s. timetable for a military drawdown beginning in 18 months would prompt other nato governments to withdraw their forces .
we need to accelerate the buildup of the afghan security forces and send the right signal to the afghans that they can trust the international community , eide said in a telephone interview from kabul .
the commitment has to be long- term .
the norwegian diplomat also pressed the united states and other military powers to increase the number of international civil servants aiding afghanistan 's political transition .
the surge on the military side has to be copied on the civilian side , he said .
eide said he was not resigning but simply fulfilling a commitment he made to his family in march 2008 to spend only two years in kabul .
he said he wanted to serve notice to u.n.
secretary general ban ki - moon now so that he would have time to find a replacement .
what i 've said is that you better start looking for a successor , eide said .
when i came here , there was a two- month vacuum between a departure of my predecessor and my arrival .
ban has begun searching for a replacement , according to u.n. officials .
the officials say he has been considering staffan di mistura , a swedish - italian national who recently headed the u.n. mission in baghdad , and jean - marie guéhenno , a frenchman who previously led u.n. peacekeeping operations .
eide 's standing in afghanistan was tested after his former deputy , peter w. galbraith , accused him in september of favoring president hamid karzai in the country 's presidential vote and of covering up evidence of massive electoral fraud .
eide denied the allegations , but he said the accusations by galbraith -- who was fired -- " certainly damaged the mission , because there was already a great degree of skepticism with regard to international interference " in the election .
eide said he proposed the appointment of a senior civilian representative to coordinate relief efforts by the u.s. - led forces in afghanistan .
he also urged the u.n. leadership to allow his successor to hire more staff from the united states and other western countries that donate to the afghan mission , saying it would increase their confidence that their money is being properly spent .
eide expressed frustration with the limitations on his powers in afghanistan , saying that cumbersome u.n. hiring regulations undercut his ability to bring in talent .
the u.n. rules are such that i have only been able to recruit a single person since may , he said .
that is catastrophic and can 't continue .
gates : iran to face additional sanctions
defense secretary robert m. gates said friday that world powers will soon impose " significant additional sanctions " on iran over its failure to engage in talks on its nuclear ambitions .
gates , speaking to a group of about 300 u.s. troops in northern iraq during a week - long tour of war zones in afghanistan and iraq , played down the prospect of military action against the islamic republic .
there are no good options in iran , he said , in response to a query from a soldier about the likelihood of such a development . ¨
one of the things that weighs on me is that if we have learned anything from iraq over the past six years , [ it ] is the inherent unpredictability of war .
the obama administration is considering a package of sanctions that would target iran 's military and political elite , but gates signaled that some of the sanctions could also affect ordinary iranians .
he said that " a package of incentives and disincentives " would be needed " to persuade the iranian government that they would actually be less secure with nuclear weapons " because " their people will suffer enormously " from sanctions .
in a statement friday by white house spokesman robert gibbs , the administration joined european leaders in warning that iran will face " credible " consequences if it does not bring its nuclear program into full compliance with the u.n. security council and its nuclear watchdog , the international atomic energy agency .
iran insists that it wants to develop nuclear expertise only for peaceful purposes .
in talks in geneva on oct . 1 , it indicated that it would return to talks on restraining its nuclear program and agree to give up a substantial portion of its stockpile of enriched uranium in exchange for desperately needed fuel for a medical research reactor .
the administration has pushed for such an agreement as a way to build confidence between the two sides and to buy time for negotiations .
but since then , iran appears to have walked away from the tentative deals -- in part , experts say , because the iranian leadership is divided over whether to engage with the united states .
frankly , iran 's stiffing the international community on some of the proposals that they actually agreed to at the beginning of october , i think , has brought the international community , including the russians and the chinese , together in a way that they have not been in terms of significant additional sanctions on the iranians , gates said .
president obama has set a dec . 31 deadline for iran to respond to the proposals before he turns to reviewing other options , including pursuing what secretary of state hillary rodham clinton once called " crippling sanctions . "
in a statement issued in new york , iran 's mission to the united nations denounced what it called " baseless and unfounded allegations " thursday by some security council members about iran 's nuclear activities and said it is willing to continue talks with the united states and five other world powers " in order to achieve an appropriate , long- term solution . "
gates , who was to return to washington late friday , met in the morning with iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki before flying to iraq 's oil - rich kurdish region for meetings with troops in kirkuk and kurdish officials in irbil .
tensions remain high between the kurds and iraq 's arab majority , particularly over boundaries , property rights and revenue - sharing .
gates urged both sides to reduce the potential for conflict to prevent any delays in u.s. plans to cut the number of american troops from 115,000 to 50,000 by the end of august .
gates also sought to allay kurdish anxiety about the pending drawdown . u.s. officials quoted gates as telling massoud barzani , president of the kurdistan regional government : " we will preserve your security , prosperity and autonomy within a unified iraq .
we will not abandon you . "
in aging china , a change of course
wang weijia and her husband grew up surrounded by propaganda posters lecturing them that " mother earth is too tired to sustain more children " and " one more baby means one more tomb . "
they learned the lesson so well that when shanghai government officials , alarmed by their city 's low birthrate and aging population , abruptly changed course this summer and began encouraging young couples to have more than one child , their reaction was instant and firm : no way .
we have already given all our time and energy for just one child .
we have none left for a second , said wang , 31 , a human resources administrator with an 8 - month - old son .
more than 30 years after china 's one- child policy was introduced , creating two generations of notoriously chubby , spoiled only children affectionately nicknamed " little emperors , " a population crisis is looming in the country .
the average birthrate has plummeted to 1.8 children per couple as compared with six when the policy went into effect , according to the u.n.
population division , while the number of residents 60 and older is predicted to explode from 16.7 percent of the population in 2020 to 31.1 percent by 2050 . that is far above the global average of about 20 percent .
the imbalance is worse in wealthy coastal cities with highly educated populations , such as shanghai .
last year , people 60 and older accounted for almost 22 percent of shanghai 's registered residents , while the birthrate was less than one child per couple .
xie lingli , director of the shanghai municipal population and family planning commission , has said that fertile couples need to have babies to " help reduce the proportion of the aging population and alleviate a workforce shortage in the future . "
shanghai is about to be " as old -- not as rich , though -- as developed countries such as japan and sweden , " she said .
a gradual easing
written into the country 's constitution in 1978 , china 's one- child policy is arguably the most controversial mandate introduced by the ruling communist party to date .
couples who violate the policy face enormous fines -- up to three times their annual salary in some areas -- and discrimination at work .
chinese officials have credited the policy with helping the country avoid critical strain on its natural resources , while human rights advocates have denounced abuses in the enforcement of the policy .
in rural areas , some officials have forced women pregnant with a second child to undergo abortions .
in addition , many couples have had sex - selective abortions , leading to an unnaturally high male - to - female ratio .
in recent years , population officials have gradually softened their stance on the one- child policy .
in 2004 , they allowed for more exceptions to the rule -- including urban residents , members of ethnic minorities and cases in which both husband and wife are only children -- and in 2007 , they toned down many of their hard - line slogans .
qiao xiaochun , a professor at the institute of population research at peking university , said central government officials have recently been debating even more radical changes , such as allowing couples to have two children if one partner is an only child .
in july , shanghai became the first chinese city to launch an aggressive campaign to encourage more births .
almost overnight , posters directing families to have only one child were replaced by copies of regulations detailing who would be eligible to have a second child and how to apply for a permit .
the city government dispatched family planning officials and volunteers to meet with couples in their homes and slip leaflets under doors .
it has also pledged to provide emotional and financial counseling to those electing to have more than one child .
the response has been underwhelming , family planning officials say .
disappointing response
although officials in one rural town on the outskirts of shanghai say they saw an uptick in applications from couples wanting a second child after the campaign was launched , the more urban districts report no change .
huinan township , with a population of 115,000 , for instance , is still receiving just four to five applications a month .
disappointed shanghai officials say that , despite the campaign , the number of births in the city in 2010 is still expected to be only about 165,000 -- slightly higher than in 2009 but lower than in 2008 .
feng juying , head of the family planning committee in shanghai 's caolu township , said financial considerations are probably the main reason many people don 't want more children .
they want to give the best to their first , she said .
yang jiawei , 27 , and his wife , liu juanjuan , 26 , said they would love to have two children and are legally allowed to do so .
but like many chinese , they have only the scant medical and life insurance provided by the government .
without a social safety net , they say , the choice would be irresponsible .
people in the west wrongly see the one- child policy as a rights issue , said yang , a construction engineer whose wife is seven months pregnant with the couple 's first child .
yes , we are being robbed of the chance to have more than one child .
but the problem is not just some policy .
it is money .
other couples cite psychological reasons for hesitating .
wang , the human resources administrator , said she wants an only child because she was one herself : " we were at the center of our families and used to everyone taking care of us .
we are not used to taking care of and don 't really want to take care of others . "
chen zijian , a 42 -year-old who owns a translation company , put it more bluntly .
for the dual - career , middle - class parents who are bringing the birthrate down , he said , it 's about being successful enough to be selfish .
today 's 20 - and 30 - somethings grew up seeing their parents struggle during the early days of china 's experiment with capitalism and don 't want that kind of life for themselves , he said .
even one child makes huge demands on parents ' time , he said .
a mother has to give up at least two years of her social life .
then there are the space issues -- " you have to remodel your apartment " -- and the strategizing -- " you have to have a résumé ready by the time the child is 9 months old for the best preschools . "
most of his friends are willing to deal with this once , chen said , but not twice .
ours is the first generation with higher living standards , he said .
we do not want to make too many sacrifices .
u.n. group drafts plan to reduce emissions
the u.n. - sponsored climate conference -- characterized so far by unruly posturing and mutual recriminations -- gained renewed focus friday with the release of a document outlining ambitious greenhouse - gas reductions over the next 40 years , with industrialized nations shouldering most of the burden in the near term .
the text , which could provide the basis for a final political deal to regulate greenhouse gases , highlighted the remaining obstacles as much as it illuminated a path forward .
but it was seen as an important advance in a negotiation that is running out of time , with more than 100 world leaders arriving in copenhagen next week .
forged by a u.n. ad - hoc working group , the text is silent on how much money rich countries would give poor ones to cope with global warming over the short and long term .
and it provides a range of options for the key questions , including how developed and major emerging economies would cut their carbon output , and what would be the upper limit of global temperature rise that policymakers would be willing to tolerate .
it gives a lot of flexibility to the process , said john coequyt , senior washington representative for the sierra club .
michael zammit cutajar , who drafted the six - page document , boiled down a 180 - page negotiation text to focus on what the u.n. 's top climate official , yvo de boer , described as " the big picture . "
it shows the outlines for a possible deal , in which industrial nations would collectively cut their emissions by 2020 by 25 to 45 percent compared with 1990 levels , while major developing countries would reduce theirs during the same period by 15 to 30 percent .
together , the countries would cut emissions between 50 and 95 percent by 2050 .
the european union gave the talks a boost as well on friday by pledging to provide $ 3.6 billion a year over the next three years to help poorer countries adapt to the impact of climate change -- from coping with flood and drought to avoiding deforestation .
still , friday featured the same sort of verbal fireworks that have dominated the talks for the past week .
u.s. special climate envoy todd stern rejected language requiring binding cuts of greenhouse - gas emissions for industrialized countries compared with voluntary ones by major emerging economies if they were not funded by the developed world .
the move signaled that the obama administration is taking a harder line with china than bush administration officials did just two years ago .
the united states is not going to do a deal without the major developing countries stepping up and taking action , said stern , who also complained that the text did not do enough to make sure the cuts could be verified by outside observers .
stern made his comments an hour after chinese vice foreign minister he yafei said america 's top climate negotiator was either lacking " common sense " or being " extremely irresponsible " for saying earlier in the week that the united states would not help china financially to cope with global warming .
with the future economic trajectory of the world 's major powers at stake , fault lines have erupted both within the developing world and between the industrial world and emerging economies .
the current battle is as much about saving individual economies as saving the planet , with china and the united states feuding over their respective obligations while poorer nations insist that the world 's two dozen most influential countries are ignoring the scientific imperative to take bolder action .
ricardo ulate , a costa rican delegate , said it 's not surprising that the major powers are fighting over who should bear the costs for curbing greenhouse gases , even as vulnerable countries have become more aggressive in seeking to hold the big emitters accountable for their actions .
this is clearly a game where a new economic hegemony is being developed , said ulate , who also serves as the regional mexico and central america climate change adviser for conservation international .
some of the countries most vulnerable to the impact of climate change indicated they would continue to push for a legally binding treaty in copenhagen , although most of the major participants say the talks will produce a political deal at best .
the alliance of small island states , which has 43 members , produced a 24 - page draft treaty proposal early friday morning .
artur runge - metzger , who heads international climate negotiations on behalf of the european commission , said the push by small island nations has " put political pressure on the entire political process , " in part because they are now unified and demanding action from emerging economies such as china and india .
the talks took on new urgency as delegates focused on the fact that they must resolve most of the outstanding issues before the heads of government arrive to strike a deal .
high - level officials such as indian environment minister jairam ramesh and the chinese vice minister stepped off planes and raced through the bella center 's halls to closed - door meetings and news conferences so they could stake out claims that will be arbitrated over the next week .
the sheer sprawl of the gathering -- where 13,000 people move in and out of the convention center each day , guitar - playing activists put on nightly shows mocking the countries they think are selling out , and draft proposals are passed hand - to - hand on paper rather than via e-mail -- poses a challenge .
the intensity is only building : nearly all of the key ministers are now here , and as early as wednesday 60 heads of government will be in copenhagen .
we 're getting into the big leagues , said carlos manuel rodriguez , vice president for global policy at conservation international .
the heavyweights are coming .
britain 's first 140mph train to redefine that monday feeling
at 5.13 on monday morning a whistle will pierce the darkness to signal a train departure that marks a revolution for travel in britain .
the first high - speed commuter train in the country will reach 140mph as it streaks from ashford , kent , to london st pancras , covering the 58 miles in 38 minutes .
lord adonis , the transport secretary , will then be joined by dame kelly holmes aboard the first javelin commuter service out of london .
he hopes that the new service will eventually plug britain into an international network of fast , reliable trains and connect the great conurbations of the midlands , the north and scotland to london .
neglected backwaters would become thriving commuter towns , business travel times would be slashed and the shift from aircraft and cars to the railway would reduce national carbon emissions as well as easing congestion on the roads .
in theory , the three main political parties buy into this vision .
but the tens of billions of pounds needed to build a new national rail network , the inevitable planning battle and fears of environmental harm may yet put the brakes on britain 's high - speed lines .
high speed two ( hs2 ) , a company created in january to provide the government with a feasibility study , will hand its report to lord adonis on december 30 , the times has learnt .
it will provide him with a detailed route map of the next planned stage of the high - speed network .
the new line linking london to the west midlands will be drawn to within five metres in urban areas and sites where the environmental impact may be contentious .
in open country , the plan will be drafted to within 25 metres of a final route .
hs2 is also expected to set out three options for a wider high - speed network running north .
lord adonis will respond in the spring .
the favoured option being put forward is a y - shaped configuration in which a single high - speed line would run up to the west midlands .
the line would split at or near birmingham , with one branch running west of the pennines to manchester and scotland and another running northeast to sheffield , leeds and newcastle upon tyne .
a single line would run into scotland .
" it looks like it is going to be the best - performing option , " a railway insider said .
once complete , journey times between london and edinburgh would be cut to 2 hours 40 minutes .
the first leg , which would not open before 2025 , would allow passengers to travel between london and birmingham in 49 minutes , compared with just over an hour at present .
the proposals would allow trains to travel at 250mph , making the british network the fastest in europe .
the initial track is being designed to take trains 400m in length capable of carrying 1,100 people .
as many as 18 could operate each hour on a london - birmingham line .
that means that a london terminal capable of handling 20,000 passengers an hour would be needed .
given space constraints in the capital , it is expected that an existing station would be expanded to accommodate the high - speed network .
rail industry experts say that only st pancras international or euston offer that potential .
lord adonis will announce whether or not he thinks the scheme should proceed , but lengthy public consultation and planning procedures mean that a final decision would not be made until after a general election .
even if he does put the wheels in motion , the network would have to be built in sections .
trains would at first be forced to run off high - speed lines on to the existing rails north of birmingham , keeping journey times between london and scotland above three hours .
that is seen as the crucial tipping point needed to ensure a switch from planes to trains , a benchmark for the rail revolution .
taxpayers meet mortgage on tory 's £ 75,000 orangery
alan duncan , the frontbench tory mp , charged the taxpayer thousands of pounds a year towards the cost of an orangery he built at his constituency home .
the party 's prisons spokesman , who was demoted by david cameron for complaining that mps were living " on rations " , increased his mortgage by £ 75,000 to build an oak - framed extension to his second home in rutland .
he was allowed to charge the extra interest , totalling hundreds of pounds a month , to the taxpayer .
the commons authorities approved the claims at the time and they have not been queried by sir thomas legg , who is conducting a review of members ' expenses . last night mr duncan said the claims " couldn 't be cleaner or simpler " .
mr duncan , one of the richest members of parliament , owns a two- storey house in a village in his rutland and melton constituency .
houses near by have sold for almost a million pounds .
the ground floor comprises a kitchen , living room and dining room , but the fees office agreed that mr duncan needed more space .
last year he added a conservatory to the house , described in plans as an " orangery " .
neighbours described it as a " glasshouse for entertaining " .
mr duncan was not required to make any reference to the increased borrowing during a recent investigation by the commons ' standards and privileges committee into his previous mortgage arangements .
the committee cleared him last month of breaching the rules after an investigation into his expenses .
in 2004 mr duncan changed the legal security for a £ 271,406 mortgage from his london property to his constituency home , which he had bought in 1991 , the year before he became an mp .
documents released this week show that mr duncan was claiming about £ 1,400 a month in mortgage interest until march last year .
in april , his claims increased to more than £ 1,800 a month .
the interest rate on mr duncan 's rbs mortgage did not change in that time , suggesting that all the increase was to fund the £ 75,000 borrowing .
the rbs standard variable mortgage rate went down from 7.94 per cent in december 2007 to 4 per cent in march this year , where it remains .
the latest document release by the commons authorities show that mr duncan was continuing to claim £ 1,250 a month this may .
mr duncan lost his job as shadow leader of the house in september after an undercover reporter filmed him saying that mps had to survive " on rations " after the expenses scandal .
" basically , it 's being nationalised , you have to live on rations and are treated like s * * t . "
he said : " i spend my money on my garden and claim a tiny fraction based on what is proper .
and i could claim the whole bloody lot , but i don 't . "
the mp , a millionaire from his former career as an oil trader , was first challenged over his expenses in may when it emerged that he had claimed thousands of pounds for his garden , before agreeing with the fees office that this " could be considered excessive " .
an activist dug a hole in the shape of a pound sign in mr duncan 's lawn in protest after it was revealed that he claimed £ 4,000 over three years .
asked about the increased mortgage last night , mr duncan said : " it was for capital improvements approved both by the fees office and subsequently by legg . "
he added : " there is no issue of ducking and weaving or pushing the rules or anything .
it is absolutely straight down the line , within the rules , authorised and everything .
it just couldn 't in many ways be cleaner or simpler . "
come all ye faithful to see brighton 's beach hut advent calendar
beach huts in brighton have found a new lease of life for the winter months as an interactive advent calendar .
beyond , an alternative church group that encourages spiritual exploration through creativity , invited 24 owners to decorate their huts for each day in december , using christmas carols as their theme .
the event started on december 1 , with visitors allowed to view the latest hut from 5.30pm to 6.30pm each day , with mince pies and mulled wine laid on for free .
carols chosen so far include i saw three ships , o come , o come , emmanuel and the first noël , where the hut features the work of janette tozer , a local artist .
martin poole , 50 , a tv marketing assistant from hove , is a non- stipendiary clergyman within the chichester diocese and the leader of beyond .
he said : " we want to make religion more relevant to people in a post- christendom society .
" why do we as a church expect people to come to a strange old building ? it 's my feeling the church should come to the people and celebrate in exciting ways .
" the idea of the beach hut advent calendar began just as a conversation with some friends over dinner .
brighton is such a fantastically creative and vibrant place and we are trying to try and represent that through spirituality . "
large climate change gatherings in copenhagen and around the world
tens of thousands of people demonstrated on saturday to support an ambitious and restrictive agreement in the fight against global warming around the world and in copenhagen , where police made several hundred arrests .
at least thirty thousand people , according to police , and a hundred thousand , according to the organisers , marched in the cold in the danish capital outside the united nations climate conference , which is tasked with reaching an agreement by friday that will enter into effect on the 1st of january , 2013 .
for connie hedegaard , the danish climate conference president , the increasing number of climate rallies around the world , illustrated by these protests , has contributed to making the ' political cost ' of a failure in copenhagen very high .
the incidents in the danish capital occurred shortly after the departure of the main procession , when a group of 300 protesters , clothed entirely in black , broke shop windows with paving and hammers , observed a reporter from the afp .
riot police provided an immediate and unhesitant response .
police announced a total of 600 to 700 hundred arrests , with most , they report , being members of the ' black blocks ' ; small ultra - violent groups that had notably made an appearance at the nato summit in strasbourg , in the east of france , in april .
the climate justice action ( cja ) coalition , one of the protest organisers , reported conditions whereby hundreds of protesters were arrested " without discrimination , " highlighting that a hundred of them " were still detained in the street on saturday night " handcuffed and held in a sitting position despite the extreme cold " .
having left the parliament , the procession headed in an orderly fashion towards the bella center , where negotiations were to take place .
the protesters stopped about 500 metres short of the building without trying to enter .
a stage had been raised to receive the expected speakers before a candlelit vigil , in which the former south african archbishop from cape town , desmond tutu would be taking part .
the majority of protesters had arrived by coach and train from the major european cities , but many asian protesters , including some chinese and korean , were also present , as well as those from africa .
around 3000 people , mainly clad in sky blue raincoats , had formed an initial rally in copenhagen during the morning , called by friends of the earth , who were planning " blue waves " for " climate justice " .
we are marching on the streets today to demand reparations of the ecological debt for the south , explained lidy nacpil , a filipino activist in the jubilee south coalition in copenhagen .
we cannot continue to tell ourselves that there is time left , assesses the singer from benin , angelique kidjo .
there are rivers drying out in africa ; water courses , where it is possible to walk and never was before .
for the first time in the history of climate diplomacy , born in 1992 with the adoption of the un convention , the anti- globalisation movement has brought itself closer to environmental organisations .
the french eurodeputy , josé bové , a face of anti- globalisation , explained that he has come to copenhagen to " connect climate justice with social justice " : " today there is no gap between the fight against global warming and the anti- globalisation fight . "
the asia - pacific region , which is home to numerous islands , which are particularly vulnerable to the effects of warming , had kicked off the protests .
according to organisers , some 50 000 people took to the streets in australia .
in manila , several hundred people , mostly students , paraded in red , brandishing banners about the benefits of solar energy .
in hong kong , djakarta , and in canada , rallies of several hundred demonstrators were also formed to demand more forceful action against climate change .
in france , the protests organised by the " 350 " network brought together several hundred people , notably in paris , marseilles ( in the south ) , lille ( in the north ) , bordeaux ( in the west ) , and lyon ( in the east ) .
in geneva , dozens of people gathered .
separatist abkhazia has elected its president ; georgia calls it a " farce "
abkhazia elected its president on saturday , a little over a year after moscow 's recognition of the pro- russian region of georgia , while tbilisi calls it a " farce " .
some 131 000 people were called on to take part in this first vote following the georgia - russia war in august 2008 for the control of south ossetia , another secessionist georgian territory recognised by russia .
the polling stations closed at 17:00 gmt .
attendance was at 58 % a few hours before closure , according to abkhazian electoral commission officials .
the first provisional results were to be announced during the night between saturday and sunday .
the five candidates in the running , among whom the existing president , sergei bagapsh , all categorically reject the idea of a reunification with georgia , which has condemned the holding of the vote .
these elections are a farce .
for his part , the georgian president , mikheil saakashvili , " regrets that abkhazia has fallen under total russian occupation , " declared his spokeswoman , manana manjgaladze .
other than russia , only nicaragua and venezuela have recognised the independence of the territory 's 216 000 inhabitants , while the rest of the world considers it a part of georgia illegally occupied by russian troops .
after separating itself from georgia in the 1992 - 1993 conflict , which saw the loss of several thousand lives , abkhazia is trying to show , by means of this election , that it is ready to join the international community .
this process is a stage in our new life , our new era as an independent state , declared svetlana kvarchia , a 54 -year-old historian , who confirms having voted for mister bagapsh .
she was among the voters who came to the polling station in an attractive white school building with several palm trees at the front in the capital , soukhoumi .
the question of the russian domination is at the heart of the presidential debate , in this region gifted with a lush landscape on the black sea .
vast billboards showing mister bagapsh beside the russian president and prime minister , dmitry medvedev and vladimir putin , are dotted around this small territory of 216 000 inhabitants .
in gali , in the west of the country , the chief of district , beslan archba , reserved a very warm welcome for the russian officials who came to oversee the voting .
we , the abkhazian people , are thankful , he said during a small ceremony , alluding to the support from moscow , and particularly to the decision to recognise the independence of abkhazia .
i hope that your country will soon be recognised by the united nations , replied alexei ostrovsky , a member of the russian parliament , while raising his glass of vodka .
for their part , the opposition represented in the vote by the former vice - president raoul khadjimba and two businessmen , zaous ardzinba and beslan boutba , criticises the agreements made with moscow in the previous year , such as the one giving russia control of the abkhazian rail network for the next 10 years .
the fifth candidate , vitali bganba , asserts not being in support of the current government or the opposition .
50 % plus one vote is the majority required to win the vote .
if no candidate attains this threshold , a second vote must be organised within two weeks .
climate : demonstrations around the world , incidents in copenhagen .
tens of thousands of people the world over marched on saturday to demand an ambitious and restrictive agreement at the climate conference in copenhagen , where police were on alert and arrested almost 700 people on the fringes of an imposing rally .
thirty thousand people , according to police , a hundred thousand , according to organisers , paraded in the cold afternoon in the danish capital , which is receiving delegates from 193 countries until the 18th of december , who will be seeking to conclude an agreement to come into effect by the 1st of january , 2013 .
having left the parliament , the procession headed in a generally orderly fashion for the bella center , where negotiations were to take place .
the demonstrators stopped about 500 metres short of the building without trying to enter .
a stage had been erected to accommodate the speakers , before a candlelit vigil , with the participation of former south african cape town archbishop , desmond tutu .
a few moments after the departure of the procession , a group of several hundred demonstrators , clad entirely in black and holding bricks and hammers , broke shop windows , remarked an afp reporter .
riot police immediately surrounded them and intervened in no uncertain terms , throwing several of them to the ground .
police announced the arrests of 600 to 700 hundred people , adding that they were mainly members of the ' black blocks ' ; small ultra - violent groups that had notably made an appearance at the nato summit in strasbourg , in the east of france , in april .
towards the end of the afternoon a policeman was injured on the jaw by a piece of paving and four cars were set alight near a squat during a series of incidents , which led to the arrests of some twenty people , according to police .
we have our eye on the small extremist groups , police spokesman henrik jakobsen warned , as the force 's helicopters circled in the sky above .
the majority of demonstrators were of european origin , arriving in coaches and trains from the main german cities , from london , from amsterdam , and also from milan .
large numbers of asians , including a few chinese and koreans , were also present , as were some africans .
around 3000 people , mainly clad in sky blue raincoats , had formed an initial rally in copenhagen during the morning called by friends of the earth , who were planning " blue waves " for " climate justice " .
we are taking to the streets today to demand the ecological debt be repaid to the south , explained lily nacpil , a filipino activist from the jubilee coalition group in copenhagen .
we cannot continue to tell ourselves that there is time left , assesses the singer from benin , angelique kidjo .
there are rivers drying out in africa ; water courses , where it is possible to walk and never was before .
for the first time in the history of climate diplomacy , born in 1992 with the adoption of the un convention , the anti- globalisation movement has brought itself closer to environmental organisations .
the french eurodeputy , josé bové , a face of anti- globalisation , explained that he has come to copenhagen to " connect climate justice with social justice " : " today there is no gap between the fight against global warming and the anti- globalisation fight . "
oxfam enlisted the help of several well - known personalities , including danish model helena christensen , and the former un commissioner for refugees , mary robinson , who were to address the crowd .
the asia - pacific region , which is home to numerous islands , which are particularly vulnerable to the effects of warming , had kicked off the protests .
according to organisers , some 50 000 people took to the streets in australia .
in manila , several hundred people , mostly students , paraded in red in front of the capital 's city hall , brandishing banners about the benefits of solar energy .
in hong kong and djakarta , rallies of several hundred demonstrators were also formed to demand action against climate change .
in france , the protests organised by the " 350 " network brought together several hundred people , notably in paris , marseilles ( in the south ) , lille ( in the north ) , bordeaux ( in the west ) , and lyon ( in the east ) .
in geneva , dozens of people gathered .
history - geography are strengthened by the secondary schools reform , according to chatel
french education minister , luc chatel , declared in an interview to be published in the french paper on sunday ( jdd ) that history and geography were " reinforced " by the secondary schools reform , despite them no longer being obligatory subjects for the french technical sixth form .
from now on , first year pupils will have four hours per week , and the same programme for a common shared culture , states mr. chatel .
according to the minister , " we need to get out of this hypocrisy " because , he says , " the ' s ' course of study is no longer the science course " , but " more generally , it is a magnet for the stronger pupils " .
the ' es ' and ' l ' courses cannot remain inferior choices behind the ' s ' course , he continues , highlighting that " i have not heard many historians or academics expressing indignance at the absence of history - geography in the technical sixth forms either . "
on saturday , an ifop ( french public opinion institute ) poll appearing in l'humanité revealed that nearly seven out of ten ( 69 % ) french people disapproved of the government project to terminate compulsory teaching of history - geography in technical sixth forms . many academics and teachers also criticised this suppression , as have the left and some right - wing representatives .
on the other hand , the minister added that there was " no question " of eliminating the ' s ' course philosophy .
luc chatel also defended the teachers ' education reforms , just as 16 organisations ( students and associations ) called for a day of protest on tuesday to demonstrate against the project , which , in their opinion , sacrifices the educational training of future teachers .
for 2nd year master 's ( m2 ) , an entry exam focusing on the candidate 's discipline will be required at the start of the year , and an acceptance exam testing their capacity to teach will be held at the end of the year , the minister explained .
furthermore , they will cover in- class placements throughout the m2 year , and will then be in front of pupils for a year as student teachers .
if you add up all the placement work proposed before the exam you already end up with more presence in front of students , which equates to over 300 hours , he continued .
finally , the minister indicates that he will be putting forward " the individual 's right to education ; something that does not exist in national education " .
he also reaffirms the plan to abolish the school map " by 2012 " .
at normale supérieure ( one of france 's top schools ) , experts have 15 minutes to change opinions on climate
fifteen minutes to talk about what is at stake at the copenhagen summit : that was the challenge taken up on saturday morning by jean jouzel , vice - president of the intergovernmental group of climate evolution experts ( giec ) invited by the ecole normale supérieure in rue d'ulm ( paris ) .
jean jouzel , nobel peace prize winner , inaugurated the first of the conferences entitled " ernest " , a day composed of a series of 15 - minute lectures from experts , filmed and open to the public , noted an afp reporter .
we wanted to do something to catch people 's attention and make them want to find out more , explained one of the day 's organisers , 22 -year-old edouard hannezo , outside the conference ; this having been named after the name given to the fish in the school 's pond .
we choose around twenty lecturers among the experts in their field and the more charismatic ones are selected , he added .
on the subject of global warming , " we could go on for hours , but we can also cover the key objectives in a few minutes " , jean jouzel told the afp , who made his presentation without notes , but with graphical aids , to an audience of around fifty .
this is part of our scientist 's role , he emphasised , hoping that listeners will remember that " the copenhagen conference is based on an extremely solid scientific case " .
the video footage from the conferences will be available online on the school 's website starting the 15th of december .
the next " ernest " day is planned for february , followed by others on a bimonthly basis .
late payments : anger from prison guards , action planned
prison guard unions called for a " general rally " on friday to demand payment of their bonuses and overtime before the end of the year holidays , having seen it pushed into january for budgetary reasons .
fo - pénitentiaire ( 2nd prison guard union ) has requested that staff , who are not on duty , demonstrate tuesday morning in front of prison buildings and to " block " them , in order to " expose the theft of their earnings " .
the cgt - pénitentiaire ( 3rd union in the profession ) calls for them to " unite in general , rallying at the various prisons , to show a strong turn - out " , condemn the non- payment of " overtime , night - shift bonuses , sunday and holiday pay " in december for their work in october as " shameful and unacceptable " .
and the first prison guard union , union fédérale autonome pénitentiaire ( ufap / unsa ) , " calls for general rallying ( ... ) to re- awaken the discontent and anger " .
the penitentiary administration 's management and the justice ministry explain that overtime has increased considerably in 2009 and was not fully covered in the budget , but assures that the outstanding balances will be settled in january .
the chancery stated near the end of the day that michèle alliot - marie had sent a communication to the prison guard unions guaranteeing the payment would be made next month .
i am not ignoring the efforts made by the staff for the functioning and modernisation of our prison system , writes the minister of justice in this communication .
i have asked the penitentiary administration management to put in place , without delay , a set of measures to ensure that this situation , caused by a poor evaluation of the number of additional work hours , does not repeat itself in the future , adds mrs. alliot - marie .
the december pay packet will therefore be slim , except for management staff , who benefit from the so-called target and position - related bonuses , critics the ufap / unsa , saying " budgetary constraints are a convenient excuse " .
it is an absolute scandal , complains the inter- regional union from marseilles , announcing its decision to boycott " all meetings and convocations " until further notice .
staff will not be putting in sunday or holiday hours if the october ones are not settled in december , and the same goes for overtime , threatens the rhône - alpes - auvergne trade union .
at a time when our goals and responsibilities are being expanded , but our staff numbers are not , it is more than regrettable to dare to attack the staff 's salaries , judges the cgt - pénitentiaire de bordeaux .
according to the unions , the situation is not the same in all regions , with some being worse off than others .
but in any case , the balance is not there , observes jean - françois forget , general secretary of ufap .
for christmas , obama says he gives " nicer stuff " than he receives
the american president , barack obama , who is preparing for his first family christmas at the white house , intimates to tv icon oprah winfrey that he has one simple rule when it comes to presents : " i give nicer stuff than i get " .
in a special programme to be broadcast on the abc channel on sunday evening , the president and his wife , michelle , offer an insight into the way they plan to celebrate the end of year festivities in their prestigious new home .
even bo , the family 's little four - legged friend , will be joining in .
santa claus loves bo too , maintains michelle obama , adding that the dog would " naturally " have a present , according to the programme 's advertising trailer .
and michelle obama feigned indignance , countering her husband 's claims about the quality of the gifts he receives : " no way ; i gave you good gifts last year " , she teased the president .
absolutely , he had to concede before jokingly retorting : " who gave you this ? " , pointing at the first lady 's pearl necklace .
during this hour - long light - hearted programme with the famous presenter , who was a fervent barack obama supporter during the presidential campaign , the president and his wife also recalled their favourite childhood presents .
barack obama remembered a ten - speed bicycle , but also a basketball that his kenyan father , whom he had rarely seen , had given him for christmas .
i remember a time when i met my father , who had come to visit us for christmas , and he gave me a basketball , said the president .
it was only much later in my life that i realised that he had given me the ball .
the first lady , for her part , recalled her dollhouse .
i had no idea how to organise a house , so i had lined up all the furniture against the wall , rather than arranging them around the fireplace , but i adored that little dollhouse , said michelle obama .
johnny hallyday re- operated on , rtl claims he is in artificial coma
johnny hallyday was re- operated on in los angeles due to significant " lesions " after an operation in france , but the situation is " under control " according to his entourage , while rtl claims that the singer has been placed in an artificial coma to avoid pain and complications .
the 66 -year-old rocker was re- operated on in the night between wednesday and thursday at the cedars - sinaï hospital in los angeles after american doctors noted " lesions resulting from the operation " for the slipped disc undergone in paris on november 26th , his press office announced in paris , adding that the lesions had " warranted a repair operation " .
the singer 's press office , however , wanted to be reassuring , stating that the situation was " under control " , while announcing that a new medical bulletin would be communicated within 48 hours .
according to rtl , partner for the singer 's first tour , however , johnny hallyday may have been put into an artificial coma to avoid " pain and complications " .
it will only be in 48 hours that we will have a little more certainty about the state of the patient , once he has at least one eye open , added rtl .
when questioned by the afp , the press office neither confirmed , nor commented on the information .
rtl also claims that " according to certain sources " , no drain was fitted after the first operation in paris .
the rocker had been operated on for a slipped disc at the international clinic at parc monceau .
the operation , scheduled several days in advance , had been carried out by the neuro - surgeon stéphane delajoux , a well - known doctor in artist circles .
he was not available to comment on rtl 's information on thursday evening .
following the operation that he carried out on johnny hallyday , the singer was taken on monday to the cedars - sinaï hospital for an infection stemming from the operation .
the singer , eddy mitchell , a close friend of johnny hallyday , said on rtl on thursday that his friend was going through " a bad patch " , but assured everyone that he had " no worries " about the rocker , who is a " fighter " .
he had called me just before leaving for los angeles , and i told him that it was crazy , because taking a 12 - hour flight after that kind of operation is not realistic , said eddy mitchell .
wednesday evening , the singer 's producer , jean - claude camus , had wanted to be reassuring , stating that johnny hallyday " was reacting satisfactorily to the antibiotics " and that the infection was being " contained " .
mr. camus had also said to have spoken with laeticia , the singer 's wife , and not to have noticed any signs of worry .
but health problems for the singer have only multiplied since he was hospitalised for nine days in july after a fall on his yacht .
two months later , to the surprise of all , johnny hallyday had revealed having had a " minor colonic cancer " operation , then a slight infection .
at the end of september , the singer resumed as planned his long " tour 66 " , billed as his final goodbye tour .
however , since then , every health problem is heavily commented on . fans and reporters have noticed the singer 's trouble in moving around on stage .
in mid- november , his entourage even had to deny further hospitalisation .
euro - 2009 / short course : bousquet 's first in his lucky distance
the frenchman , frédérick bousquet , triple medal - holder in the long course 2009 world championship , pulled off an international title for a distance he particularly favours , the 50m freestyle , at the euro - 2009 short course event in istanbul on thursday .
the first day of this competition , where full - length swimsuits are permitted for the last time , has seen only three world records beaten , whereas a wave of them was expected .
one record was improved on by the hungarian , evelyn verraszto , 200m medly , and the two others by russia in the 4x50m medly relay .
a regret for bousquet , who had his sight set on the 50m freestyle world record , for which he holds the long course title ( 20.94 ) .
in one of the two high - profile swimming events , the 50m freestyle , it was the 28 -year-old frenchman who made his mark with a time of 20.53 in a final , where ten swimmers started instead of the usual eight - a first at the international level .
bousquet bested the croat , duje draganja ( 20.70 ) and the russian , sergey fesikov ( 20.84 ) , but he did not manage to reduce the world record time ( 20.30 ) as he had envisaged .
one can always dream of better , and i had actually stated that , if the world record was in my reach , i would certainly attempt it .
like bousquet , the vast majority of swimmers were in polyurethane swimsuits , which will not be permitted starting the 1st of january .
having unleashed 238 world records since february 2008 , these swimsuits will end their epic story in istanbul , which had also seen the first ones in 1999 , during the same competition .
the use of these swimsuits did not assist the german , rome 's long course two- time world champion this summer , paul biedermann , on this occasion , where world records were at stake .
the young swimmer did not succeed in reducing the record he currently holds in the 400m freestyle ( 3:32.77 ) , but did , nevertheless , make an impression by achieving his second personal best time ( 3:34.55 ) , ahead of the russian , nikita lobintsev ( 3:35.75 ) and the dane , mads glaesner ( 3:36.82 ) .
i did not give it my all in this race .
i knew that i could not achieve a world record , but i managed to defend my title and have accomplished my mission .
lobintsev will be a strong rival in the future , explained biedermann .
usa : a sarcophagus panel belonging to zola fetches 1.5 million usd
a roman sarcophagus panel , which had notably belonged to the french writer , emile zola , fetched 1.5 million dollars on thursday , a significantly higher figure than was estimated , announced art auction house sotheby 's .
this front panel , measuring two metres in length and 63cm in height , dating back to the 3rd century ad , was valued at 150,000 to 250,000 dollars .
the marble " depicting four dionysian scenes in a sophisticated architectural decor , surrounded by satyrs and bacchantes , is a rare piece ; there are only five of them in the world " , florent heintz , vice - president of art auctions for roman and egyptian antiquities , had explained to the afp on tuesday .
it was sold among around a hundred other lots .
the auction is still going on , but this lot is certainly the one , which has got buyers bidding most so far , commented sotheby 's spokesman to the afp , dan abernethy .
the discovery of emile zola 's acquisition of this marble piece dates back some time .
the panel remained in the famous collection of the borghese family in rome for nearly 300 years , then it successively appeared with the french actress , cécile sorel , who had made it a feature of her bathroom in her private paris mansion , then paul reynaud , a minister in france 's 3rd republic and briefly the council 's chairman before marshal pétain 's accession to power .
that left a grey area of about fifty years .
by searching the louvre museum 's database , florent heintz discovered that the panel was part of an " emile zola inheritance " opened in 1903 , a year after the death of the author of " thérèse raquin " and the series of " rougon - macquart " novels .
zelaya 's departure attempt from honduras to mexico aborted
mexico judged on thursday that conditions were no longer suitable for the transfer into its territory of the deposed honduran president , manuel zelaya , who had been refused safe passage by the coup - installed government .
at the moment , after a telephone conversation in the night with president zelaya , everything seems to indicate that the potential options for carrying out this transfer are not suitable , declared the mexican secretary of foreign affairs , patricia espinosa .
having arrived on wednesday in el salvador to bring back mr. zelaya , the mexican government plane returned to its original location , according to a source from the general directorate of migrations .
the coup government had wanted to force mr. zelaya to " resign " and had requested a foreign asylum to allow him safe passage to .
but the president refused , because he wanted to travel to mexico as the incumbent head of state and an invited guest .
the coup government " has again met with failure by wanting me to give up my duties ( ... ) ; they wanted me to resign " , mr. zelaya told radio globo on thursday , through which he often makes himself heard , since the beginning of the political crisis , which has so far lasted five months in this country of central america .
i could stay here ten years , i have my guitar here , added the deposed president while playing a few chords , having taken refuge at the brazilian embassy in tegucigalpa for the last two and a half months .
the mexican embassy presented us with a request for safe passage , but , unfortunately , we could not accept it because it did not contain an asylum request , the coup government interior minister , oscar raul matute , had declared on wednesday on honduran hrn radio .
i am not requesting asylum from any country , manuel zelaya had answered in an interview on the telesur channel , based in caracas .
any departure from honduras would have to be as the president of the honduran people , he had emphasised .
the rumours of mr. zelaya 's departure had , on wednesday , mobilised the partisans of the deposed president , who gathered around the brazilian embassy , where military forces reinforced their position .
the brazilian foreign minister , celso amorim , criticised the coup government 's position .
this demonstrates the marginal character of this government in relation with international standards , he asserted .
zelaya , who had become closer with the socialist venezuelan president , hugo chavez , had been overturned on june 28th , the day he had organised a public consultation to prepare for his re- election , going against the views of the supreme court , the army and congress .
exiled to costa rica , he had made a surprise return on september 21st and had taken refuge at the brazilian embassy .
if he comes out , he will be arrested to answer to charges of " high treason " , which the law accuses him of , according to the coup government .
the coup president , roberto micheletti , has managed to organise a presidential election on the 29th of november to replace mr. zelaya .
porfirio lobo was elected in the controversial vote , which was recognised by the united states , but was contested by latin american countries such as venezuela , argentina , and brazil .
three days later , congress voted by a landslide against mr. zelaya 's return to power for the remainder of his term up to january 27th .
wall street rises , the commercial balance of the us feeds optimism
the new york stock exchange finished higher on thursday , as american commercial equilibrium figures indicate a return of activity in the united states and with its partners : the dow gained 0.67 % , and the nasdaq 0.33 % .
according to the final closing figures , the dow jones industrial average rose by 68.78 points to 10 405.83 points , and the nasdaq , with a technology dominance , rose by 7.13 points to 2 190.06 points .
the broader standard & poor 's 500 index had a result of 0.58 % ( 6.40 points ) taking it to 1 102.35 points .
we have good news coming from various sides of the economy , assessed lindsey piegza from ftn financial .
however , this remains anecdotal evidence , she cautioned , suggesting the market was focusing on " the glass being half full " .
peter cardillo of avalon partners thinks that investors have concentrated particularly on america 's commercial balance figures , " which show an improvement in activity in the fourth quarter " .
the us commercial deficit dropped by 7.6 % in october , compared to september , to 32.9 billion dollars .
analysts were expecting the opposite , a deepening of the deficit .
both imports and exports increased .
the big news is the increase in trade volumes , especially in the export of goods , which reflects the economical growth of the commercial partners of the united states , commented christopher cornell from the research company economy.com.
in contrast , new unemployment claims in the united states have increased beyond all expectations in the past week , to reach 474 000 claims .
however , in the last four weeks , the average number of new employment seekers " has fallen to its lowest in a year " , highlighted scott marcouiller from wells fargo advisors .
the bond market has fallen .
treasury 10 - year bond yields have grown to 3.482 % against 3.423 % on tuesday evening , and 30 - year bond yields are at 4.492 % against 4.408 % the previous evening .
cuba : hundreds of government supporters speak out against the " ladies in white "
several hundred cuban pro- government demonstrators spoke out on thursday against political prisoners ' wives , who had gathered in havana for international human rights day , and prevented another demonstration , for which around a dozen dissidents were arrested .
around forty " white ladies " , wives and those close to the political prisoners , were jeered at in the street by supporters of raul castro 's government as they were marching towards the centre of the capital to demand the liberation of the political prisoners , observed an afp reporter .
down with the yanks ! , " mercenaries ! " , " the street belongs to the revolutionaries ! " , " long live fidel and raul ! " the pro- government supporters chanted at the dissidents , their fists raised .
these latter were escorted by plainclothes agents , who had come to " ensure their protection " .
the previous evening , a similar demonstration had taken place against the " ladies in white " in havana without anyone being injured or arrested .
however , in the vedado district of havana , a dozen dissidents , who were also preparing to demonstrate thursday for the international human rights day , were arrested by plainclothes police , reported an afp journalist .
the policemen made the dissidents , who had been jeered at by pro- government supporters , get into unmarked vehicles , according to the journalist .
dissident arrests under similar circumstances normally only last a few hours .
recipients of the 2005 sakharov prize from the european parliament , the " ladies in white " had organised a non- authorised march to " demand the release of all political prisoners " , totalling 200 according to the dissident side , declared one of their leaders , laura pollan , whose husband , hector maceda , is serving a 20 - year sentence in prison .
mr. maceda is part of the group of 75 cuban dissidents arrested in march 2003 , 53 of which remain behind bars .
the cuban authorities consider the opposition as " mercenaries " or " agents " on the books of their sworn enemy , the united states .
unusually , cuban television covered the demonstration of pro- government supporters against the " anti- revolutionaries " on thursday .
cuba , lead by a single party , the communist party , is regularly accused by european or american ngos of flouting rights and liberties , notably those of the freedom of expression .

several passers - by , including some youngsters , attempted to overpower the madman , according to witness reports collected by the afp .
i saw a guy of about thirty with a green jacket .
three youths tried to intervene .

the lawyer of the franco - polish film director , roman polanski , called again in los angeles on thursday ( california , western united states ) , for the abandonment of proceedings against his client , who is currently under house arrest in switzerland for a vice case that is over 30 years old .
chad hummel , the lawyer for the director of " the pianist " cited grave errors in the procedures at the time of the events in 1977 , in front of three judges at the court of appeal of california 's second district .
i am calling for charges to be dropped here and now , declared mr. hummel , before adding that the behaviour of the judge , who was dealing with the case at the time , laurence rittenband , " sends chills down the spine " .
according to him , judge rittenband -- since deceased -- is said to have spoken with one of the prosecutors , who told him that roman polanski deserved prison , before passing sentence -- constituting a serious error in procedure .
this discussion had been revealed in the documentary " roman polanski : wanted and desired " , the words coming straight from the prosecutor in question , david wells .
however , mr. wells had eventually declared that he had " lied " to the author of the documentary at the end of september .
in the event of the court 's refusal to abandon proceedings , mr. hummel called for a trial to be held , which would allow him to present evidence to back his arguments .
the prosecution , for its part , has re- iterated its argument , already formed in the first instance , that no abandonment of the charges could be seriously looked at while roman polanski did not present himself in court .
the 76 -year-old filmmaker had fled the united states before his sentence had been passed for " unlawful sexual relations " with a 13 -year-old minor .
he has not set foot in the united states since .
the deputy prosecutor for los angeles county , phyllis asayama , therefore declared that roman polanski " must be present at the hearing " .
for this case , are we trying to send the message , not just to ( roman polanski ) but also other defendants , that it is ok to flee ? asked mrs. asayama .
in her view , the filmmaker " is asking a favour from the court , while at the same time showing disregard for its authority " .
one of the three judges -- who now have 90 days to return their verdict -- has also emphasised " that there are other alternatives to fleeing " .
mr. hummel was not the only one to request that proceedings against roman polanski be abandoned .
the lawyer of samantha geimer , the victim , also called once again for an end to the proceedings .
reminding that her client can no longer stand to be harassed with every resurfacing of the polanski case , she added : " no one in this room can claim that this was a just procedure .
thirty two years is enough " .
roman polanski was arrested on the 26th of september in switzerland on an american warrant .
after more than two months behind bars , he was put under house arrest at his chalet in gstaad , pending his possible extradition .
wall street closes without momentum , slowed by a strengthening dollar
the new york stock exchange closed with no particular heading on friday , in a market torn between better than expected indicators in the united states and a strengthening dollar : the dow jones gained 0.63 % but the nasdaq dropped 0.03 % .
according to final closing figures , the dow jones industrial average has risen by 65.67 points to 10 471.50 points , whereas the nasdaq , with a technology predominance , fell by 0.55 point to 2 190.31 points .
the wider standard & poor 's 500 has itself advanced by 0.37 % ( 4.06 points ) to 1 106.41 points .
frankly , the market is very calm , observes mace blicksilver of marblehead asset management .
it remains within a narrow margin ; trading volumes have become very weak , and i think that this will remain the case until the end of the year .
the trend was supported by the publication of better than expected economic indicators , which " have contributed to improving market opinion in relation to the robustness of the economic recovery " , summarised charles schwab 's analysts .
in the united states , retail sales have increased by 1.3 % in november , for the second month in a row , and far more than predicted .
moreover , the confidence of american consumers has clearly bounced back in december , to 73.4 against 67.4 the previous month , according to preliminary estimates from michigan university 's index .
the indices have , however , been slowed by a renewed rise of the dollar , to a new two- month high against the euro , which " puts downward pressure on the sectors that are sensitive to the economic situation " , explained owen fitzpatrick from deutsche bank .
technology securities have thereby lost some ground .
the bond market has fallen .
treasury 10 - year bond yields have grown to 3.540 % against 3.482 % on tuesday evening , and 30 - year bond yields are at 4.497 % against 4.492 % the previous evening .
miss world pageant once again in south africa
after a month - long trek across south africa , the 112 candidates for the title of miss world are preparing to enter the final straight on saturday to make their dream come true : to be voted the most beautiful woman in the world in front of a billion television viewers .
during this grand beauty congregation organised for the second consecutive year around johannesburg , five of them have already landed their tickets to the semi - final .
miss japan , eruza sasaki , perla beltran acosta of mexico , mariatu kargbo of sierra leone , kaiane aldorino from gibraltar , and yanbing ma from canada have been elected miss world sportswoman or also miss world top model during their african stay .
it was a real whirlwind .
to visit beautiful cities like port elizabeth , durban , and cape town is extraordinary .
i saw so many things and i have so much new experience , said miss of sierra leone .
this competition , which is taking place in south africa for the ninth time , will be transmitted live on saturday from midrand , north of johannesburg , starting at 17:00 ( 15:00 gmt ) .
i could not have dreamed of a better country to award my crown .
the experience was fascinating .
i am pleased to have been able to live it twice , points out miss world ksenia sukhinova in the heat of the southern summer .
for the young russian , her second visit to south africa has been made memorable by the many talks with candidates and the re- discovery " of landscapes in this country that take your breath away " .
after a month of galas , rehearsals , press meetings , and safaris , the miss candidates are concentrating on the competition .
the indian pooja chopra hopes to follow in the footsteps of priyanka chopra , elected in 2000 and present at this vote , as well as those of aishwarya rai in 1994 , both of whom have become stars of bollywood .
it is the dream of every woman to be crowned the most beautiful woman in the world , but it is not all about appearance .
we are ambassadors for our countries and i want to return home with the crown , asserts miss india with a broad smile .
according to organisers , music and dance will mark this 59th edition .
candidates will parade in traditional outfits and , of course , in swimsuits .
the show will be presented by angela chow , an ethnic chinese television presenter , the south african ex- beauty queen michelle mclean , and an officer from the miss world committee , steve douglas .
south africa showed that it could welcome the world with a warmth and pride that is difficult to better , affirms julia morley , president of miss world .
the candidates went on safari , as they did last year , visited the famous township of soweto , but this time by bicycle , and sampled the local cuisine .
exceptionally , they also met the south african president , jacob zuma , who shook their hands .
unusual for a head of state , notes miss sierra leone .
their most beautiful memory will probably be the world cup draw in cape town ( southwest ) for football in june 2010 , a way for the country to promote the event a little more .
i have mixed with people i never thought i would be able to approach .
i will without a doubt be returning for the 2010 world cup , enthuses miss italy , alice taticchi .
the news about johnny hallyday " is very positive " , according to son david
the news about johnny hallyday " is very positive " , assures his son , david , on friday arriving at the airport in los angeles , where he was to be by his father 's bedside , who has been in hospital for several days .
the news is very positive .
he is very strong , all will go well , declared his son , david hallyday , to the press on leaving the plane from paris just after 13:00 local time ( 21:00 gmt ) .
the singer 's son had a relaxed air and assured that he would be heading " without delay " to the cedars - sinaï hospital in los angeles , where johnny hallyday was admitted on monday for an infection stemming from a slipped disc operation on november 26th in paris .
the singer was " put in an artificial coma tonight in los angeles for comfort reasons , to prevent his suffering , and to allow his treatment to be administered " , indicated the press service .
johnny hallyday had already been put in an artificial coma by doctors at the cedars - sinaï hospital in los angeles , where he had been admitted on monday for an infection stemming from a slipped disc operation on the 26th of november in paris .
the singer had to be operated on in the night from wednesday to thursday because of significant lesions resulting from the operation .
his wife , laeticia , went on friday morning to the los angeles french high school , where their daughter jade is enrolled , to attend a school performance , observed an afp photographer .
the head of orthopaedic and trauma surgery of the pitié - salpêtrière hospital , yves catoné , announced that he would travel to see the singer in los angeles on monday .
the producer vehemently brought into question dr. stéphane delajoux , the neuro - surgeon , who operated on the singer on the 26th of november at the international clinic of parc monceau in paris .
they told us it was carnage .
the los angeles surgeons said they were aghast , declared mr. camus .
i heard talk of possible legal proceedings to come , he said .
jean - claude camus reckoned that johnny hallyday had " left far too soon for los angeles , with the paris surgeon 's authorisation " .
i had this doctor on the phone in person , and he assured me that there was no problem for this trip , which shocked me , as i , myself , have had two slipped discs , he added .
shortly before , on rtl , he had indicated that the singer apparently " had left without a drain or anything " , following his paris operation .
dr stéphane delajoux is well - known in artistic circles .
he had operated on the actress marie trintignant in vilnius a few days before her death at a clinic in neuilly - sur - seine , where he practiced at the time .
in 2007 , he had also operated on the actress charlotte gainsbourg to resorb a haematoma , following a cerebral haemorrhage .
however , he is also a doctor with a notorious reputation , convicted by the law on several occasions , in cases of medical liability , as well as for fraud and tax evasion .
olivier metzner , the lawyer for the doctors ' governing body , accused him of being " a man without scruples " , who " regularly " has to answer to the governing body 's council , and who is " far from reputable " .
after several days of silence , dr. stéphane delajoux made an announcement on friday through his solicitor , david koubbi .
the latter indicated that the operation had " gone perfectly well " and that post- operation tests returned " normal " .
the operation " was not haemorrhagic and therefore did not required a drain to be fitted " , he added .
in any case , the singer 's tour , for whom health problems have been multiplying since the summer , would seem to be on hold .
clearly , resuming the tour on the 8th of january [ in amiens ] as planned seems very soon , declared mr. camus .
the udf alliance speaks out and orders the new centre party to stop using its acronym
the udf alliance , controlled by françois bayrou 's democratic movement ( modem ) , reacted on friday to the buy - out bid made by the new centre 's president , hervé morin , for the acronym of the former giscardian party , by ordering him not to use it under any circumstances , threatening legal action otherwise .
hervé morin announced publicly that he intended to recoup the udf acronym , ruling that françois bayrou was not worthy of its political heritage , having extended his hand to the left .
the defence minister , whose party is partner to the ump , had in fact planned to confirm this strategy on saturday before the nc 's national council .
in support of his move , he received backing from deputy hervé de charette ( ex- ump switched to nc ) , who claims his ownership of the udf trademark by being the first to record it in 2004 at the national industrial property institute .
however , friday evening , the udf alliance 's office , headed by françois bayrou 's friends , who do not plan to give up possession , has come out of silence to launch an attack against the deputy , ordering him not to use the acronym , and to transfer the trademark 's ownership to them , otherwise threatening legal action .
in the last few days , you have stepped up the number of declarations indicating that you were going to propose political action to regain the udf acronym , the alliance writes in a communication signed by 19 out of the 24 members of the office , including françois bayrou and marielle de sarnez from the modem , as well as the senator , jean arthuis , from the centre alliance .
you also thought it acceptable to include in your campaign literature and on your website 's homepage the movement 's name , the new centre , and to follow it with the slogan : today 's udf , remark those who signed the document .
as you are well aware , you have no right to the use of the acronym , explains the udf 's office , requiring that the nc remove " immediately any mention of the udf name from all material , and from ( their ) internet site " .
he also requests that hervé de charette " transfer ownership of the trademark to its rightful owners " .
if you failed to do this , the matter would be referred to the courts to ensure that the law and the legitimate rights of udf members were respected , warn the document 's signatories .
in their communication , they specify that the udf " is a political movement in its own right since 1978 " and points out that mr. morin and his friends had " made their choice " to leave him in 2007 " to create a competing movement , as others had done in 2002 , to establish the ump " .
the new centre , according to them , has therefore no right to the use of the udf acronym ( union for french democracy ) .
they also remind that the udf 's last assembly voted in 2007 for its union with the modem for three years , and for the creation of an office charged with defending " the material and moral interests " of the body founded by valéry giscard d'estaing .
as for hervé de charette , the office continues , " when he registered the trademark " , he had " not been a udf member for three years " , but , in fact , with the ump .
he is profiting in a scandalous and fraudulent manner from the absence of a registered trademark for the udf acronym by taking it to benefit his own account .
this incident is turning into a major offence , they state , before adding ironically about the nc 's strategy that : " in our opinion , in politics as in real life , it is more dignified to make one 's own name rather than try to become somebody by fraudulently acquiring a name we have no right to " .
liliane bettencourt case : françois - marie banier will be tried for " abuse of weakness "
the nanterre tribunal decided on friday to bring françois - marie banier to trial to ascertain whether , as the daughter of billionairess liliane bettencourt is accusing him , he profited from the eighty -year-old 's weakened mental state to despoil her of some of her fortune .
the photographer , 62 , known for his photographs of the stars , will be tried on the 15th and 16th of april 2010 for " abuse of weakness " , an offence that carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a 375 000 euro fine .
the decision confirms that there will indeed be a trial in this case , which is turning into a worthy family saga involving one of the richest families in france , where mother and daughter are torn apart , while at the reins of the l'oréal cosmetics empire .
however , the 15th magistrate 's court has also ordered a combined expert medical opinion of liliane bettencourt , aged 87 , to be led by three doctors .
the heiress and principal shareholder of l'oréal has always refused to undergo such an exam , at least not with the conditions proposed by the nanterre court at the time of the investigation .
the doctors nominated on friday will have to submit a report by the 10th of march , 2010 , stating , in particular , whether liliane bettencourt could have found herself in a weakened state and at which times .
i think she will submit to it .
i will talk with her about it , declared mrs. bettencourt 's lawyer , georges kiejman , at the exit of the hearing .
for his part , the lawyer of françoise bettencourt - meyers , olivier metzner , congratulated himself on the court 's decision .
it is excellent news ( ... ) the expert opinion will prove that he ( mr. banier ) manipulated this elderly lady , whom we should be protecting , he affirmed .
for two years , liliane bettencourt 's daughter and only child has engaged in taking to court the case against françois - marie banier , the photographer and all - round artist , whom she accuses of profiting for years from her mother 's weakness to obtain a billion euros in donations , in the form of cheques , life insurance contracts , or works of art .
as far as she is concerned , liliane bettencourt has always refuted having been manipulated by the photographer , who she considers a long- standing friend .
as the court on friday was due to examine the admissibility of the case brought by mrs. bettencourt - meyers , the pleas from the lawyers at times turned proceedings into an unveiling of intimate family matters .
thus , liliane bettencourt 's lawyer cited three letters sent by his client ( in 1999 , 2003 , and 2005 ) to her solicitor , in which she expressed having suspicions about françoise bettencourt - meyers ' husband .
in the letter dated from 2003 , liliane bettencourt added , according to the lawyer : " could you explain to my daughter that i wrote to mr. banier once or twice a day for fifteen years . "
i have been unable to speak to françoise since her marriage " .
for its part , the court in nanterre has again ruled that the plaintiff 's claim was not admissible for action , all the more so after a judge supervising guardianship refused her request in the past few days to initiate a procedure allowing legal protection for her mother .
liliane bettencourt " is fully capable of participating in legal proceedings , she is not under protection and does not have a guardian .
nobody needs to act on her behalf " , affirms the public prosecution 's representative , marie - christine daubigney .
the court determined that it would make a ruling once the case concerning the admissibility of mrs. bettencourt - meyers 's claim had taken place .
a management revolution or the end of competitive intelligence ?
if nothing changes in the way france 's biggest enterprises are run , our fight for the development of competitive intelligence will have been in vain ...
for over ten years , the management 's attitude in large enterprises towards their employees reflects the position of enterprises and their consumers before the marketing revolution : employees should be made to adhere to " values " dictated from above just as it was in the past , when products dreamed up by the factory 's engineers were dropped on the consumer .
by placing the consumer at the heart of the organisation , the marketing revolution put the strategies for conquering markets the right way up again ... even if authoritarian temptation to impose products , which are disconnected from the preferences of the consumer tend to resurface regularly !
a demobilisation of employees can lead to terminal demoralisation .
suicides at france telecom , psa and renault are only the visible part of a far more widespread problem that affects management employees in particular .
demobilisation gravely compromises the development of an organisation 's strategic functions , notably in r & d , but even more so in competitive intelligence .
indeed , ci " demands from all sides concerned ( ... ) a proactive approach and a long- term vision " ; it requires from employees a commitment that is entirely contradicted by authoritarian management methods .
for this reason , we are calling for a management revolution , which would consist in placing employees at the centre of an enterprise 's concerns alongside consumers .
the very relative usefulness of internal opinion surveys
will internal opinion surveys - such as those given by orange to its employees - stimulate this revolution in managerial methods ?
unfortunately , i fear it will not .
- firstly , because i have witnessed that , when faced with a new situation , any organisation will arrive , after many detours , at doing chiefly ... what it always does !
- next , because authoritarianism - a disease of power - grows proportionally with the magnitude of its own failures .
- finally , because most leaders have a simplistic view of human behaviour .
coming from the top technical educational establishments , they have a mechanistic interpretation of psychology .
they adopt , for intellectual convenience , the old behaviourist theory , which has recently been re- awakened by the " neuro - sciences " of the united states that have been widely and silently diffused by business institutes and the media .
in this way , by suggesting that " levers " [ sic ] can be pulled for the commitment of management staff , a recent ipsos survey published on figaro.fr cradles leaders into a position of mechanistic governance , which is unsuited to the world of today .
identify and quantify mobilisation factors
in contrast , the management revolution needed for the correct functioning of modern enterprises supposes the adoption of a finalistic vision of human behaviour .
it consists in the integration , within all management strategies and practices , of a fundamental admission : for employees , commitment to the enterprise is only possible if it is clearly perceived as a means to realising a part of their dreams , their ambitions , and their plans .
currently , only studies produced through motivation factor analysis adopt the concept of employee motivation .
these studies have demonstrated that they form a view of their organisation based on a pre- determined consensus of opinion , which allows them , by means of this perceived view , to evaluate what it offers them to achieve their life plans .
by identifying and gauging these mobilisation factors , enterprise leaders can control , predict and anticipate their " social performance " and turn their management of resources " the right way round " .
they thereby create a favourable terrain for the concerted development of robust and effective competitive intelligence .
oslo speech : the " just war " earns obama praise from the right
the american right paid tribute to the speech given the previous evening in oslo by barack obama , satisfied that the nobel peace prize 2009 had defended the concept of a " just war " against the enemies of the united states .
the conservatives , who had mocked the awarding of the prize to obama on october 9th , were this time giving the presidential speech their applause , lead by sarah palin , former vice - president candidate during the 2008 elections .
i liked what he said , declared mrs. palin , right - wing champion of the republican party , to the daily newspaper usa today , adding that she had herself touched on the topic of war that is " sometimes necessary " in her memoirs , which have just been published .
war is , of course , one of the last things , which americans want to get involved in , but it is necessary .
we must stop these terrorists over there , she affirmed .
mr. obama , who has inherited the two wars from his predecessor , george w. bush , in iraq and afghanistan , applied himself on thursday in oslo to justifying resorting to force , a way to explain his decision to send 30 000 additional troops to afghanistan nine days earlier .
another one of mr. obama 's opponents , newt gingrich , concluded that the president had done " very good work " in oslo .
i found his speech to be really very good , approved the former speaker in the house of representatives , who had particularly valued the mention that " evil does exist in the world " in the presidential discourse .
from certain viewpoints , i found this speech to be of historic significance , declared mr. gingrich , during an interview for the radio show " the takeaway " .
the former representative , considered by some a possible candidate for the republican inauguration of the 2012 presidential elections , was delighted to see " a president from the left " remind the noble committee members " that they would not be free and in a position to award a peace prize if resorting to force had not been an option " .
for michael gerson , a former writer for george w. bush and re- converted columnist for the washington post , mr. obama has given " a very american speech " .
as well as presenting himself as a " world citizen " , as " he always does " , " he spoke like an american president " , reminding europeans " that they live in a security bubble , which they did not create and they are doing little to preserve " , declared mr. gerson .
among the few unconvinced right - wingers , a hawkish character from the bush era , the former un ambassador , john bolton , described the speech as " drab , turgid , and uninspired " on the national review online 's website .
to the president 's left , the democratic representative dennis kucinich was alarmed to see barack obama justify resorting to force .
when we wrap war inside the notion of justice , the massacre of innocent people can easily be justified , he warned .
centre - left press nevertheless remained full of praise for the president .
the los angeles times , still of the opinion that the nobel prize had been prematurely awarded to mr. obama , described his address as " a blockbuster " , even for a speaker that is known for his talent .
the oslo speech " should serve as a roadmap for guiding international decisions made on conflicts , poverty and oppression " , enthused the californian newspaper .
mr. obama " made the speech that was needed " , reports the new york times , judging it " both sombre and edifying " .
road freight : three marathons for one agreement to save christmas deliveries
following three marathon sessions of negotiations , transport unions and the tlf , the only employer 's organisation to have remained to the end , reached an agreement on friday evening that will end the strike order and the threat on christmas deliveries .
during the signing on friday evening , transport secretary dominique bussereau was " delighted " with the agreement after several rounds of negotiations on wednesday morning .
after a second night of discussions , negotiating sides left in the small hours with the hope of a swift signing of the agreement 's text later in the morning .
and this , despite three employers ' organisations ( fntr , unostra , otre ) having slammed the door .
however , it took a further six hours from a meeting that started at 11am for everyone to be in agreement , and for the text to be signed at 6pm .
the disagreement " would have been very damaging for the companies " and " it looked like it might threaten the end of year festivities " , mr. bussereau stated .
the document allows for a 4 % increase in salaries for the lowest ones ( in local and regional road transport ) , and a 2.9 % increase for higher ones ( international transport ) .
hourly rates , for those on lower pay , " go from 8.72 euros to 9.06 .
it is not much , but we have come a long way , explains patrice clos ( worker 's union ) .
this evening we will give the order to our campaigners not to form blockades or picket at delivery depots .
there may , however , always be a few difficult ones , who remain uncooperative , he added .
philippe grillot , president of the tlf , paid tribute to " a good agreement " , even if it was " difficult to concede the increases on the higher salaries given international competition " .
according to him , the increases will be of the order of 170 euros per month for the lower salaries and from 100 to 120 euros for the higher ones .
it is a common sense agreement , respecting the workers , declared maxime dumont ( cfdt ) , while thierry douine ( cftc ) praised it as " a historic agreement " .
as for richard jaubert ( cgt ) , he described it as " an acceptable compromise " .
the agreement also allows for a rise in travel expenses of 3 % and maintaining current general road transport conditions for the first half of 2010 , which will give room for dealing with the questions of a 13th month 's pay and the modernisation of the collective labour agreement .
mr. bussereau reminded everyone that " a 100 million euro cut in employers ' charges " had been the subject of a government amendment in corrective financial legislation for 2009 , voted on in the night from thursday to friday at the national assembly .
the government will ask that the senate vote on it " in the same timeframe " .
the signature from the tlf allows the agreement to be applied in the first instance to all the companies that are members of the organisation , and secondly , to the whole profession , subject to it being extended by the minister for labour .
it will be done " in a very short time " , assures mr. bussereau .
the opposing employers ' organisations can only delay the process .
the fntr called it a " sham " , because the 100 million euros " had already been promised to the sector in compensation for part of the carbon tax " .
the transport secretary urgently forced us to the negotiating table , not with the aim of a two- sided review , but to avoid upsetting the turkey - eaters this christmas , deplores the unostra .
for the otre , the agreement risks " digging the graves of a large number of the sector 's smes over the next 12 months " .
rer a : disruptions this weekend , unions unhappy with ratp proposals
disruptions on the rer a , the largest urban public transport link in france , are set to continue over the weekend , as a meeting on friday , the second day of strikes , between the unions and the ratp management have left their pay demands unmet .
saturday and sunday , on this critical weekend of shopping before christmas , trains will only run between the hours of 10am and 8pm , with just one out of two trains running on the central stretch ( between la défense and nation ) , and one out of four outside the central section .
the operation of the interchange with the sncf will be suspended at nanterre préfecture , forcing passengers to change trains .
the galeries lafayette , who welcome 200 000 customers every day , were delighted by the fact that " the ratp is making efforts to assist the department stores " .
the rer a runs through the parisian conurbation from west to east .
the ratp segment runs from saint - germain - en - laye and nanterre to boissy - saint - léger and marne - la - vallée .
on friday , approximately one out of two trains ran at peak times , with almost no trains at all during off- peak periods , as planned .
as on thursday , there was no trouble with crowds on the platforms , as parisians had gotten themselves organised .
thus , in the early hours , the station at saint - germain - en - laye ( yvelines ) was far less busy than usual , notably because of the absence of school and college students .
at boissy - saint - léger ( val - de- marne ) , jack nbakina , a 29 -year-old engineer , explained that he had gotten up " an hour and a half earlier , to be sure of arriving on time " .
the saint - lazare station did not see any overcrowding , the sncf stated , having planned for additional support staff and police officers .
the rer a trains operated by the sncf to or from cergy - le - haut were departing or arriving from saint - lazare station , where they link with the metro .
new general meetings for strikers will be held on saturday and sunday , which will review the results , seen as " poor " by the unions , of a meeting with management held on friday afternoon .
the rer 's director proposes to negotiate a specific agreement for the rer a on all aspects , working hours , career paths , etc ...
it is not what the drivers , who are demanding the bonus they are owed , want , according to thierry garon ( sud ) .
the ratp has even put its offer of bonuses on hold , the cgt complained , pointing out that the management " could not be bothered to resolve the problem , whereas road transport and the sncf both have it done and dusted " .
a new meeting is scheduled on monday for " a wider review of the conditions of practice for the profession " , the ratp elaborated .
prompting the unions to remark further that the company " did not care about its weekend passengers " .
during the morning , some 150 drivers invaded a works council meeting at the company 's seat in paris .
that is when management , which had until then refused to enter into any discussions during the strike , had suggested the meeting " in a motion to calm the situation " .
the dispute is threatening to extend to rer b on tuesday , following the submission of an advance notice by the unsa and the indépendants groups .
the unions are demanding a bonus of 120 euros ( unsa ) to 150 euros , with a 30 - euro variable band ( cgt , fo , cfdt , sud , indépendants ) and are complaining of the deterioration in work conditions on this line serving a million passengers every day .
the rer drivers , all in the later stages of their careers , are paid a gross salary of 2200 to 2700 euros as well as 600 to 650 euros of bonus pay for split shifts , sundays and holidays .
turkish justice bans the pro- kurd party , a decision laden with consequences
the turkish constitutional court returned a verdict on friday for the dissolution of the country 's main pro- kurd party , a decision which was immediately followed by angry protests within the kurdish community in the southeast of the country and in istanbul .
the decision is likely to greatly complicate the government 's work , as it has just recently made positive gestures towards the kurdish community in an attempt to resolve a 25 - year old conflict .
the party for a democratic society ( dtp ) was disbanded because it had become " a hotbed of damaging activities against the state 's independence and its unfailing unity " , the president of the court , hasim kiliç , declared to the press at the end of four days of deliberations .
the decision was taken unanimously by the 11 judges , while a majority of seven was sufficient to force the disbanding , mr. kiliç indicated , adding that 37 of the party 's representatives , including its president , ahmet türk , and the deputy , aysel tugluk , have been banished from political life for the next five years .
the judge also announced the lifting of the parliamentary immunity , from which both mr. türk and mrs. tugluk benefited , and the confiscation of party assets by the treasury .
the dtp occupies 21 seats in parliament ( out of 550 ) .
its leaders had warned prior to the verdict that the representatives would leave parliament rather than take their seats as representatives with no affiliation .
the decision was taken following proceedings launched in 2007 by the prosecutor of the appeal court , abdurrahman yalçinkaya , who accuses the dtp of obeying " directives " from the kurdistan workers ' party ( pkk ) , which is considered to be a terrorist organisation by ankara and in many countries .
many observers believe the dtp serves as a legal political shop window for the pkk rebels .
the party maintains , however , that it has " no organic links " with the pkk , but refuses to recognise it as a terrorist organisation and is calling for the government to open negotiations with it .
the court 's verdict comes at a time when the government has extended its hand to the kurdish community by proposing a series of measures , reinforcing its rights in an attempt to quash kurdish support for the pkk and put an end to the conflict .
dtp leaders had stated that a dissolution of the party could lead to renewed tensions in the anatolian southeast , where a great number of protests against the terms for the detention of the pkk 's head , abdullah öcalan , have degenerated into clashes with police in the last few weeks .
as soon as the law made its announcement , a thousand protesters gathered before the dtp 's buildings in diyarbakir , the southeast 's main city , populated mainly by kurds .
police forces fired tear - gas grenades and used water cannons , as demonstrators threw molotov cocktails and stones with slings .
around a hundred people also demonstrated in istanbul .
following the verdict , mr. türk declared that the law 's decision would " deepen the despair " .
turkey cannot resolve this [ kurdish ] issue by banning a party , he told the press .
the government , a party rooted in islamic influences , also condemned the decision .
we are opposed on principle to the closing down of parties .
it does not solve anything , declared the energy minister , taner yildiz .
this decision puts a blowtorch to the government 's democratic olive branch , comments political analyst ahmet insel .
of course , we can expect a reaction from the pkk , he added .
on thursday , the pkk claimed responsibility for an attack that killed seven soldiers in the north of turkey three days earlier , one of the bloodiest in the last few months .
the snow can come
a really hard , frosty winter , that is what wolfgang brauburger is wishing for .
not because he wants to make a laughing stock of people , says the the head of the fes winter road maintenance service .
but so that his employees can try out and learn every facit of their vehicle 's technology .
this may be the case for the first time this weekend , according to meteorologists .
more than 330 employees and 120 vehicles are ready to take care of the snow and ice .
here , the fes is proceeding according to a precise plan .
as soon as frankfurt is blanketed in snow and the temperatures drop below zero , 20 so-called " a routes " are serviced by large - scale distribution vehicles , explains brauburger .
these include , for instance , main traffic roads and through roads , such as neue weg and hanauer landstrasse .
but also fire roads , public transport routes , pedestrian zones and roads with slopes , such as atzelbergstrasse .
the service of the fes starts at three in the morning
the approx . 1,040 km would , if necessary , have to be gritted with wet salt , which has better adhesive properties , within no more than three hours .
that is why the fes start at three in the morning , " so the routes are free by the time commuter traffic starts " .
it becomes difficult when it only begins snowing at 7.30 am .
then we are faced with a problem , says the head of the winter road service , " because nobody is prepared to make way for the gritting vehicles " .
only then , unless it continues to snow , is it the turn of approach and connecting roads , which also include rat - beil - strasse .
the last priority are quiet side and minor roads .
that is where complaints are made , knows brauburger .
at five in the morning , the footmen of the fes set to work , and dangerous areas and passages are cleared .
the fes can usually not attend to all bike routes .
there is a special service in frankfurt , which keeps an eye on the bridges , in particular from 10 pm until 4.30 am , says brauburger .
as slippery ice quickly forms on them , the gritter sets off as soon as temperatures drop below two degrees centigrade .
where required , it is also called out by the police .
the cradle of the dinosaurs
tawa hallae looked like many other carnivorous dinosaurs : the animal , standing two metres tall and with a length of 1.50 metres on two strong hind legs , had a longish skull with sharp , curved teeth , short arms with sickle - shaped claws and a long tail .
if the species had lived a couple of million years later , it would not be anything special .
but tawa hallae was one of the first dinosaurs with such physical features , reports sterling nesbitt and his colleagues at the university of texas in austin in science magazine of thursday .
the animal lived about 215 million years in what is today new mexico , which was back then in a dry zone of the super continent pangaea at the equator .
tawa opens a new window to the early evolution of dinosaurs , says nesbitt .
it reveals a great deal about the relationships , the spread , and the features of early dinosaurs .
in 2006 nesbitt and the other palaeontologists started an excavation on the ghost ranch in northern new mexico .
" on some days we found dozen dinosaur bones , that is exemplary for sediments from the triassic period , " reports team member randall irmis of the utah museum of natural history .
the scientists identified some bones quickly .
during the excavations , they collected the remains of a total of five creatures .
find confirms theories on early dinosaur history
the name tawa comes from the sun god of the hopi indians .
for sterling nesbitt , it is an exceptional find : " dinosaur fossils from the triassic period are extremely rare . mostly , only individual fragments are found . "
other dinosaur researchers do not quite share this enthusiasm .
" this find is not particularly spectacular , but it does confirm some theories on the early history of dinosaurs . " says martin sander of the university of bonn , for instance .
according to current doctrine , the dinosaurs appeared for the first time about 230 million years ago .
but many of the oldest fossils are incomplete , for which reason the classification of these primal dinosaurs is highly contentious .
as such , the experts debated , for instance , when the saurians split into the three most important lines of development : the carnivorous theropods , which later included tyrannosaurus rex , the velociraptor and birds , the four - legged sauropods known as the " long necks " and their relatives , and the plant - eating ornithischiae ( bird - hipped saurians ) , which included , for instance , the triceratops and stegosaurus species .
according the analysis of nesbitt and his colleagues , tawa hallae is a primal theropod .
it has an interesting combination of primitive and progressive properties , says nesbitt .
on the skull of tawa hallae , for instance , the scientists found indications of air bags , as the descendants of the theropods , birds , have .
thanks to the air bags , the breathing of birds is more efficient than that of mammals .
tawa hallae 's bones of the spine were obviously also partly filled with air .
tawa is the oldest and most primitive theropod with air bags , says randall irmis .
as the related line of the huge sauropods later also had air bags and lightweight bones , the joint ancestor of these two groups will probably have come up with this useful innovation .
at least three migration waves to north america
as the most primitive dinosaurs known to date lived in south america , the scientists come to the conclusion that the saurians appeared there first .
accordingly , the three lines of development separated early on and spread from south america across all parts of the planet , which still formed a single land mass as the super continent pangaea .
this theory is backed up by the fact that the team found two more theropods which are not particularly closely related along with the remains of tawa hallae .
the three cannot possibly descend from a common ancestor . so they must have migrated there , is the scientists argument .
we believe that there were at least three migration waves to north america , says alan turner of the american museum of natural history in new york , a co- author of the science study .
but there are of course contradictions .
an older species , silesaurus , which belongs to a sister group of the dinosaurs , lived in what is today poland , says the bonn - based palaeontologist martin sander .
he believes that a distorted picture may emerge simply because a high number of primitive dinosaur fossils have survived over the years , while there is hardly anything to be found on other continents .
how dinosaurs managed to develop from a relatively rare sidearm of the reptile tree to become the ruling tetrapod vertebrate of the mesozoic , is still anybody 's guess .
during the triassic period , the dinosaurs still shared their habitat with a large amount of other reptiles , for instance with the ancestors of today 's crocodile and pterosaurs and with numerous other saurians .
towards the end of the triassic period , the dinosaurs spread across the globe and developed many new species , while their relatives died out on the threshold from the triassic to the jurassic periods .
success story did not last for ever
there are two theories to explain this switch , says martin sander .
there may have been a case of mass dying , which the dinosaurs randomly survived but not the other reptiles .
or the dinosaurs were better adjusted , meaning that they were able to beat off the competition .
in any event , the success story did not last for ever .
150 million years later , a meteorite impact helped a group of animals , which had also developed back in the triassic period and since lived in the shadows to blossom : the mammals .
solidarity from vienna to sao paulo
the list is long and the signatories international .
professors of toronto university are on it , as are those from the university of cambridge , the university of vienna and berkeley in california .
lecturers from naples are included , from quebec , edinburgh , new york , sao paulo , berlin or bremen .
the vacation by the police of the casino of the frankfurt goethe university is having repercussions throughout the world .
278 professors and teaching assistants of the goethe university , but also of colleges from all over germany , europe and north and south america are showing their solidarity with the protesting students on the westend campus .
in a statement written in both german and english , they " condemn " the police action initiated by the executive committee .
university president werner müller - estler had the building seized by students and assistant professors on strike last week , because walls and objects of art had been besmirched .
five students were hurt in the action .
the material damage , the signatories argue , does not justify " the forceful dissolution of self- organised courses of students and lecturers by a police commando unit " .
the vacation represents " an inacceptable infringement " on the freedom of research and teaching .
the exclusive focus on vandalism serves " to deligitimise and criminalise the protest " and distracts from the matter .
the executive committee has refused to enter into the necessary discourse .
the teaching staff demand the immediate termination of the criminal prosecution .
the majority of the occupiers did not support the damage to property , read the statement .
protest legitimised
the youth ranks of the verdi union and the german association of unions are also showing their solidarity with the students .
the protest is a legitimate expression of a growing concern for their own future , says verdi state youth secretary alexander klein .
hesse 's science minister eva kühne - hörmann ( cdu ) , however , supported the approach of the university president and police .
we are grateful to the university president .
destruction and occupation are absolutely inacceptable means , the said in a topical session on thursday in the wiesbaden parliament .
we have sympathy for the protest , but cannot accept vandalism , said the cdu parliament member peter beuth .
a different stance was taken by the opposition parties - the spd , greens and left party .
the cdu is taking besmirched walls as the pretext to criminalise the protest , said janine wissler ( left party ) .
instead of taking the students ' arguments and students seriously , they organised this vacation .
the left party has filed an application calling on the minister of internal affairs to report on the police action .
a new silicon valley
for many years , it was a secret city , inaccessible to westerners .
zelenograd , one of ten districts in the capital moscow , was a highly guarded location for secret arms research during the soviet union .
nowadays , the municipality with its 216,000 inhabitants 37 km from moscow centre is regarded as russia 's silicon valley .
important research and production facilities for micro and nano technology are located here .
in september 2008 , representatives of zelenograd made contacts with the frankfurt science centre in riedberg - with the university institutes and the companies of the frankfurt innovation centre ( fiz ) .
there were several visits , and on wednesday zelenograd and riedberg finally signed a " protocol for closer cooperation " in frankfurt on wednesday .
the moscow deputy mayor , yuri roslyak , and prefect anatoly smirnov of zelenograd led the russian delegation and economic affairs head edwin schwarz signed on behalf of frankfurt .
in 2010 representatives of the fiz and small - and medium- sized companies focusing on research in natural science will travel to zelenograd for a seminar .
scientific exchange
the idea is to establish continuous scientific exchange .
but business relations are also being eyed .
companies of the fiz will have the option to get a foothold in the growing russian market .
in turn , russian businesses want to win orders in germany .
zelenograd is the headquarters to the most important russian research institutes and companies .
these include , for instance , the moscow institute of electrophysics , and major companies such as sitronics and rossiyskaya elektronika .
the municipality was founded in 1958 as a so-called " socialist planned city " for arms research .
zelenograd ( verbatim " green city " ) got its name from the wooded hills where the research facilities are located .
a stuttgart brake block
the impact and dimensions of stuttgart 21 cannot be overestimated .
for its supporters , the project deals no less than with the " new heart of europe " .
quite rightly so . s21 is far more than lowering a railway station , more than a gigantic construction project , which will plunge the city of the baden - württemberg state capital into a terrible chaos of building sites for a decade .
stuttgart 21 warn born out of the spirit of the 1980s .
terminus stations with rails ending in the middle of towns were regarded as fossils of the 19th century in terms of traffic technology , which acted like brake blocks to contemporary rail traffic , as it used to take an awful lot of time to shift engines from back to front .
pull in , stop briefly , pull out - that 's the plan .
and therefore , terminus stations were supposed to disappear : as in frankfurt and munich .
and in stuttgart : a non- terminus station , which is approximately half way along the trans - european rail line between paris and budapest / bratislava - hence the slogan of the " heart of europe " .
s21 is actually being built now , although the vision of the 1980s has no longer been compatible with the reality for years .
even very ambitious planners have recognised that it is virtually unpayable to lower the stations in the capitals of hesse and bavaria .
terminus stations also no longer have pulling in and out problems since the development of push - pull trains with railway traction units and control cabs at either end .
and still : stuttgart 21 along with the new ice route to ulm is now being started .
state and municipal politicians have enforced it .
german rail is participating , also because the risks of the republic 's biggest single infrastructure project will be borne by the taxpayer and not the state company .
as regards urban development , the development can be more or less justified .
an urban area is being created which , if the planners ' computer - generated graphics are to be believed , will feature a lot of green .
for the rail traffic system , s21 is damaging .
the non- terminus railway station and the line extension are designed for passenger transportation , which - typical for the 1980s - is estimated to see huge growth .
at the time , there was no competition from no - frills airlines .
contemporary traffic policy , however , should be prioritising the handling of freight transportation , as transport by rail far more environmentally friendly than by lorry on the road .
but the line to be built is not suitable for freight trains due to steep slopes .
more seriously , s21 also affects many other rail projects .
a good six billion euros are to be buried in the swabian land .
that is the official figure .
experts expect ten to fifteen billion to be more realistic .
one thing is for sure , the money will be missing at other nodes and bottlenecks in the network over the next decade .
a total of sixty major projects are on the list of the transport ministry .
one of the most important ones is to expand the some 180 km of the line through the rhine valley .
work has been continuing on the line in slow motion since 1987 .
it is urgent to really put the foot down here .
but s21 will act as a brake block .
the rhine valley line will become a bottleneck for international freight transportation : right in the heart of europe .
government reviewing verdict on airport
the state government did not decide in parliament whether it would appeal against the verdict of hesse 's administrative court ( vgh ) to ban night flights .
the cdu / fdp coalition has commissioned experts to review the 400 + - page vgh verdict , said economics minister dieter posch ( fdp ) .
the vgh in kassel recently confirmed in writing that the state would have to reorganise the ban on night flights in the event of building the planned northwest runway at frankfurt airport .
according to the verdict , the granting of 17 flights between 11 pm and 5 am , as planned by the state government , is not compatible with the protection of the population from flight noise as specified by law .
the coalition must decide by 4 january whether it will appeal the verdict .
the opposition criticised this delay and called upon the government representatives to do without an appeal before the federal administrative court in leipzig .
spd party leader torsten schäfer - gümbel demanded the cdu and fdp to return to their promises to ban night flights , which they made before the election . otherwise , this would have to be rated as the " breaking of a promise " .
it is bloody difficult when you are allowed to keep one 's word , said greens leader tarek al-wazir , alluding to the fdp election slogan " we keep our word " .
minister posch rejected the accusation from schäfer - gümbel that the state government was trying to achieve their night flights by " skewing justice and playing tricks " .
a detailed legal examination would take time .
the coalition does not want to operate on the basis of " a brief first impression " .
we need a legally compliant decision , said stefan müller ( fdp ) .
as presented by the opposition , his party never made any statements regarding the ban on night flights .
us banks repay state support
the crisis - hit us major banks are breaking free from their state shackles .
on wednesday bank of america repaid the support from the bank protection fund tarp in the amount usd 45 billion ( nearly eur 30 billion ) in one go .
and , according to reports from us broadcaster cnbc , citigroup is also planning to repay the state support .
the institutions thereby want to wiggle themselves free from the restrictions going hand - in- hand with the acceptance of the money , such as the limits on manager bonuses and the paying of high charges .
bank of america had raised some usd 19 billion from investors through convertible loans .
the rest of the amount was taken from its own kitty , which was well filled through the sale of business units .
bank head kenneth lewis extended his express thanks to the american taxpayer on wednesday evening : the cash injection helped over a very difficult time .
the bank overstretched at the height of the financial crisis by taking over the investment bank merrill lynch .
citigroup also plans to raise cash on the capital market to free itself from its liabilities with the state .
already on thursday , the us bank was able to announce a capital increase of some usd 20 billion , reported cnbc with reference to circles .
a citigroup spokesman declined to comment .
goldman sachs , jp morgan chase and morgan stanley had already repaid their support in june .
a quick choice
it all happened a lot faster than expected .
barely two weeks after the zdf board of directors had pushed the acting editor - in- chief nikolaus brender out of office , the broadcaster is able to present his successor .
yesterday evening , the committee wanted to vote on the appointment .
the favourite was peter frey , head of zdf 's main studio in berlin .
but zdf did not confirm this - officially , not to anticipate the process .
however , the plan not to further damage zdf director markus schächter , if this suggestion were also not successful with the board of directors , will also have played its part .
frey , schächter 's candidate , needs the support of nine of the 14 committee members .
the result of the vote was not known when going to press .
two weeks ago schächter had been unsuccessful at the board of directors with his suggestion to extend the agreement with nikolaus brender by another five years .
only seven members voted for brender , seven were against him . brender 's voting out was a severe blow to schächter , albeit one to be expected .
because the majority of the union in the administrative board had signaled already weeks before the vote that they would not confirm brender in office .
roland koch , the prime minister of hesse , had organised the opposition to the editor - in- chief .
with the argument that zdf 's news broadcasts had lost viewers under brender , he rejected a further term in office of the highly regarded editor - in- chief .
until shortly before the election , there were therefore protests in which the exercising of political influence on the zdf was castigated .
most recently , 35 civil rights campaigners had even joined the debate and rated the actions of koch to be in breach of the constitution .
to no avail .
personal details
peter frey was born on 4 august 1957 in bingen .
he studied political and educational sciences and romance studies .
he later worked for the südwestfunk and the frankfurter rundschau .
in 1983 frey moved to the zdf , initially to the heute - journal .
subsequent activities : from 1988 to 1990 personal officer of the editor - in- chief ; in 1991 / 92 correspondent in washington ; until 1998 head and presenter of the morgenmagazin ; until 2001 head of zdf foreign affairs ; then head of the zdf head studio .
the greens announced after the voting out of brender , who was voted journalist of the year by the sector paper medium magazin only on wednesday , to press constitutional charges .
koch 's opponent on the board of directors , the rhineland - palatine prime minister kurt beck , explained last week that the states should amend the zdf treaty to the extend that staff suggestions of the director cannot be blocked by a politically motivated majority .
however , beck too ruled out any removal of party politicians from the boards of directors of the zdf .
brender 's expected successor , peter frey , had recommended himself to the board of directors with a clever move - by harshly criticising the committee immediately after it voted out brender .
thanks to this proof of editorial independence , both schächter without losing face and the board of directors were able to vote for his appointment as editor - in- chief , without being suspected of promoting a partisan to this post .
in party calculations , frey is reckoned to be a left - leaning liberal anyway .
university courses to be cleared out
partial success for students : after a year of educational strikes , the culture ministers of the states finally came around on thursday : at a meeting of the culture minister and university principals conference , both parties agreed to improve the conditions of studying for bachelor and masters courses .
the students should , in the future , be in a position to master their studies .
in particular , they agreed to reduce the number of exams : every module shall , as a rule , be completed with one single exam .
in addition , the students ' workload shall be reviewed and " a realistic and acceptable extent " ensured .
politicians and colleges also want to simplify the recognition of exams taken between the colleges inside and outside germany .
the states undertake to organise more flexibly joint structural requirements for bachelor and masters courses .
state regulations deviating from this , shall not be imposed .
less exams
since the start of the student protests in june , culture ministers and university principals have been referring to the dictum of better studiability .
now it is being filled with specific contents for the first time .
the so-called accreditation council has decided to , in part , dramatically reduce the number of exams : " every module ends , as a rule , with an exam , " states the 30 - page paper , which is to newly govern the admission of courses in part .
with the " clear reduction of the examination load " , explains accreditation council chairman reinhold grimm , " an undesirable development is to be stopped , which had a grave impact on studiability " .
in addition , " studiability " is to be the core criterion for the organisation in the future .
modules and contents " shall be strictly reviewed " as to whether " unnecessary constrictions on the students in their choice of
events " would be avoided .
the students are " entitled to be granted leeway allowing and promoting initiative " .
the rules are to apply for the admission of new but also for the review of existing courses .
they need to be " reaccredited " every five years , which , however , means that it may take until 2015 until all courses have been reviewed .
ten accreditation agencies throughout germany oversee this , which report to the accreditation council set up by the states .
the culture ministers had " expressly " urged the states in october to influence the agencies in such a way that the number of subjects is not too large and the exams regime not too strict .
in some federal states , universities and colleges have already agreed on corresponding measures with the state ministries .
rhineland - palatine has promised additional funds for the further development of the bologna process ; so far , it is the only state to do so .
with this money , the colleges are , in particular , to set up tutor programmes and course consultations as well as strengthen exams and foreign offices .
the state and colleges plan to earmark 10 million euros for this .
in early 2010 the government wants to bring an amendment to the universities act before parliament .
according to it , only one exam should be necessary to complete a course model .
the course design is to become more flexible , while the recognition of past academic records at other universities is to become easier along with access to masters courses .
by the end of the coming year , all courses of the state are to be examined for their studiability .
the government and opposition had again argued over the study requirements in the state on thursday .
on top of praise , there was also criticism for the decisions .
the federal board of the young socialist university groups demanded the design of education policy should no longer take place " behind the closed doors " of ministers and university principals .
after the educational strike , at the latest , students should now also " have their say " as those affected .
the future academics received support from the president of the conference of university principals ( hrk ) , margret wintermantel : " we need the experiences of the students , " she said on thursday at a meeting with the culture ministers , with whom the hrk was debating a joint reform paper .
the education and science union ( gew ) deemed the bonn decisions to be not radical enough : it is demanding a legal claim , which would allow every graduate with a bachelor degree admission on a further masters course .
on the other hand , the states must ensure that for the current generation of bachelor students there are sufficient places on master courses with best - possible studying conditions , says gew executive board member andreas keller .
the states must employ significantly more lecturers .
the culture ministers did , however , not issue a statement regarding free admission to masters courses .
more than a footnote to herta müller
going in and out of germany is nice , virtually no checks ... " is the first line of a poem by the poet werner söllner , in which he describes in disturbing fragments a dissident 's experience of arrival , who had gained freedom but simultaneously lost his language area .
werner söllner , born in romania 's banat in 1951 , initially worked as a german and english teacher in bucharest and later as an editor in a children 's publishing house , before he moved to frankfurt am main in 1982 .
söllner has won several literature awards , in 1993 he was awarded the legendary frankfurt poetry readings at the goethe university , and since 2002 he has been head of the hesse literature forum in the mouson tower in frankfurt .
he caused a major extra - literary stir last tuesday during a conference in munich , debating " german literature in romania in the reflection and distortion of its securitate files " .
clearly unsettled and embarrassed , söllner read out a statement , in which he admitted before romano - german writer colleagues , i.e. richard wagner , william totok , franz hodjak and helmuth frauendorfer , his participation as an im for the romanian secret service , securitate .
jointly with some of those present , söllner 1989 had received the german language award in 1989 .
the recruitment attempts started gradually , first in 1971 .
i am , söllner concluded , " therefore someone , who did not put up enough resistance to the intimidation attempts of the securitate . "
the lyricist werner söllner is im walter .
virtually at the same time as the awarding of the nobel prize for herta müller and her unmatched literary discussion of the mechanisms of dictatorships , the literary scene and , in particular , the community of german authors with romanian roots is being shocked by a case which reveals the dark spots and perfidy of a political system based on control and spying .
werner söllner is , inasmuch as can be said on the basis of the current knowledge , not only a perpetrator , but also a victim .
in his securitate file , im walter played a part , said after söllner 's confession the literary scholar michael markel and referred to the positive influence im walter had for him .
he " boxed him out " in all points which were dangerous for him at the time , said markel .
he has a moral need to make this statement .
söllner 's statement was in this form unexpected before this audience , although the confession of a former dissident and his collaboration with the romanian secret service is not entirely surprising .
germany was a cosy habitat for the security spies , as herta müller had already written in july in the zeit newspaper after reading her own file , 914 pages .
those affected , one can assume , will have guessed and in some cases even known whose real name was behind the code names of sorin , voicu and , of course , walter .
contrary to the now very secure process of viewing stasi files in germany , the approach to the legacy of securitate control is still very diffuse .
a systematic clarification has been undermined and hindered in recent years .
a national council to process securitate files ( snsas ) , which is comparable to the birthler authority , was only set up in 1999 , but the release of the files has been very slow .
a law regulating the administration of the files has only existed since 2005 .
the fact that the influence of former securitate members is still very big in romania was proven after the announcement of the nobel prize for herta müller by an interview , in which a former securitate head from timisoara spoke in derogatory terms of the prize winner .
they is psychotic , she was , after all , questioned more than once .
the infamy of power believed it could openly speak in the guise of freedom of speech .
the söllner case does , as so often in connection with silent guilt , raise questions .
why only now ? who fell victim ? the level - headed reaction of the audience to söllner 's statement gives rise to the hope that a continuation of this chapter will be determined by the need for information than finger - pointing and shame .
regarding the genesis of herta müller 's oeuvre , who yesterday received the nobel prize , it is more than a footnote .
the champions league - a side dish
it seemed as if a well - dressed field sales representative was just coming from a very nice christmas party , where a sports items manufacturer had handed out goodies , when the new vfb coach christian gross in the company of an orange plastic bag from the supplier got in a called out mercedes c class at a quarter past midnight . ¨
the man with the striking bald head was still needing a chauffeur , as the town was still unknown to him .
otherwise he could have driven himself - after all , no alcohol was involved and the 55 -year-old was not drunk .
a nice evening , but tomorrow the work would continue .
or only just get going .
in the words of the swiss national , who had only just been employed three days before : " we may have reached the last sixteen , " i.e. in the champions league thanks to a 3:1 win over unirea urziceni from romania , " but we mustn 't be blinded by the success : we are in for a brutal fight against relegation . "
the " far more important task " is scheduled for sunday .
the champions league performance will have to be repeated in the day - to - day job of the league .
and the again revealed weaknesses after the three quick goals by marica ( 5 . ) , träsch ( 8 . ) and pogrebnyak ( 11 . ) will have to be stopped .
draw
the last sixteen of the champions league ( first leg 16 / 17 + 23 / 24 february / second leg 9 / 10 + 16 / 17 march ) will be drawn in nyon on 18 december .
the joy over the excellent start of the babbel successor therefore remained mute .
not only with the apparent saviour , who had given the unsettled stuttgart professionals self- confidence , commitment and joy in playing in a short period of time .
" i addressed the players and told them that they must consider their strengths , and urged them to be more courageous , " explained shrink gross his so simple - sounding recipe for success , which no longer had any effect under therapist babbel .
he set a certain magic alight , admitted babbel fan lehmann , " when now impulses are given in football , things happen which are considered to be impossible " .
and sami khedira , who became the man of the match thanks to his dynamic approach having been injured for weeks , tried to describe the " phenomenon " with the proverbial " breath of fresh air " and the work approach of the new boss : " he is a man who takes drastic measures and demands discipline .
that is what we need in the current situation . "
under babel this was clearly lacking .
vfb stuttgart is still not out of the woods , warns sports director horst heldt
but vfb stuttgart needs , more than anything , consistency .
like gross , players and managers were eager not to overestimate the win over the depleted and hopelessly overburdened defence of the romanian guests .
they had also won in glasgow before the horribly awakening three days later in leverkusen in the 0:4 , warned khedira .
and sports director horst heldt pointed out that one aim of the season had been achieved , but that the other one was still a long way off .
we are not out of the woods yet .
the fact that heldt was not in any mood to celebrate on his 40th birthday and even on the first home win for three months , had to do with the events of the weekend , which were revived in the form of a tv interview with goalkeeper jens lehmann , which was screened immediately before the match .
there are decisions which other people take and not jens , was heldt 's response to lehmann 's harsh criticism .
he had accused the directors of a lack of leadership , who had decided to replace the manager under pressure from pubescent fans .
the fact that his day off after matches had been cancelled , was also rated by lehmann as a sign of a lack of authority and resentment .
lehmann 's statements were " guided by pure egoism " , replied heldt and announced consequences for the keeper .
it is unlikely they will become friends for life .
but , after all , they agreed with everybody else that without the work done by the replaced team of coaches , the strong performance , both in terms of play and spirit , would not have been possible .
babel and seine assistants had " a great share in the success " , said heldt and lehmann unanimously - and the man with the plastic bag also agreed .
worldcup heavyweight box match
heated duel in berne : challenger kevin johnson kept provoking world champion vitali klitchko with words and gestures .
but after twelve hard rounds , the ukrainian defended his heavyweight title according to the wbc .
the verdict of the judges was unanimous .
hamburg - vitali klitchko remains heavyweight boxing world champion .
on saturday night in berne the 38 -year-old champion ( the wbc association version , ) beat the american kevin johnson unanimously by points ( 120:108 , 120:108 , 119:109 ) .
for klitchko this was his third successful defence of his title since his comeback in october 2008 .
before , the ukrainian had already twice been world champion of the wbo and wbc associations .
unfortunately , the knock - out , which everybody had expected , did not materialise .
klitchko extended his record to 39 wins in 41 professional matches , twice he had to give in due to injury .
challenger johnson saw his first defeat in 24 fights .
in front of some 17,000 spectators in the berne arena , the 2.02 - metre tall klitchko aimed to dictate the match predominantly with his left hitting hand .
but the eleven centimetres shorter johnson , how had announced the end of the klitchko era before the fight , kept evading the hits from the world champion , meaning that klitchko was not able to apply a decisive blow with his dangerous right hand .
overall , the passive johnson did not do enough for a challenger and simply tried to survive the rounds .
although he provoked klitchko with words and gestures , his blows only rarely hit the world champion .
nevertheless , he is only the second boxed since timo hoffmann in 2000 who fight the full twelve rounds against klitchko .
the challenger had caused quite a stir in the swiss capital before the fight .
he insulted klitchko as " an ugly zombie " , who " cannot do anything at all " .
during weighing , the champion then allowed himself to be provoked to knock johnson 's sunglasses of his nose " to be able to see into his eyes . "
fourth victory after klitchko 's return
klitchko came out on top in his fourth fight since his comeback on 11 october 2008 .
after a sabbatical nearly four years , he beat the nigerian samuel peter in berlin and regained " his " wbc belt , which he had been forced to hand over before without a fight .
this year he then beat in the defence of his title the cuban juan carlos gomez from and chris arreola from the us in september .
i only took one blow in this fight , and am physically in very good shape , klitchko said after the quick return to the ring .
his dream , however , remains the unification of all important titles in his family .
brother vladimir is world champion of the wbo and ibf associations .
but the wba belt is worn by britan david haye after he dethroned the 2.13 - metre tall nikolay valuev in november .
haye had previously cancelled in the summer a fight planned to take place in september against vitali klitchko .
apparently , his promotion company is now already planning a fight against klitchko at london 's wembley stadium .
the kunduz case
frontal attack from the opposition : green party head jürgen trittin calls defence minister guttenberg a liar for providing false information on the kunduz affair .
spd and left party demanding a clarification from the chancellor .
hamburg / berlin - after the recent revelations regarding the air raid of kunduz , the opposition has accused defence minister karl - theodor zu guttenberg ( csu ) of deliberate deception .
the minister apparently made " knowingly false statements " regarding the fatal bombing of two tank trailers in september , said green party head jürgen trittin on saturday in the ard news programme tagesschau .
this is generally referred to as lying .
the order to kill was given in defiance of the rules of the international security assistance force ( isaf ) for afghanistan .
that is the substance of the report , which nato had , which mr. guttenberg has read , said trittin .
on friday it was revealed that the attack was not only about destroying the abducted tankers , but also to specifically kill two taleban leaders .
the us air strike ordered by the german kunduz commander colonel klein , up to 142 people were killed of injured , according to the nato inquiry report .
the greens , spd and left party linke called on chancellor angela merkel ( cdu ) on saturday to address parliament immediately and to clarify what guttenberg really knew about the event .
merkel must clarify whether a strategy of targeted killing is part of the federal government 's afghanistan policy , and whether the chancellor 's office , german army and intelligence service have approved this new strategy , demanded jürgen trittin and his greens colleague renate künast .
government spokesman ulrich wilhelm rejected the criticism resolutely .
the chancellor 's office did not take any influence on specific missions of the german army in afghanistan , he said .
on saturday , doubts over the presentation by the ministry of the background of the dismissal of inspector general wolfgang schneiderhan and state secretary peter wichert emerged .
according to information available to spiegel , the two provided guttenberg with correct and complete information on the background of the tanker trailer attack .
officially , it was said that they had lied about the existence of the nato reports and kept sensitive details from the minister .
from the entourage of the top official , however , it was said that the defence ministry had even been directed to several reports , including a two- page documents of the commanding colonel klein and a report from the military police .
in the meantime , wichert is supposed to have asked for clarification in a letter , reports the frankfurter allgemeine sonntagszeitung .
he has not received a response , it is claimed .
the ministry did not comment on the accusations on saturday and referred to the fact that this would be clarified by the inquiry committee of parliament , which would be set up next wednesday .
dream worlds
some see images and hear voices when they are awake which others do not hear or see .
not only in the mentally sick and during intoxication with drugs do the borders between imagination and reality become blurred .
as long as this happens in sleep , things are fine .
when we are in dark rooms with our eyes closed , we can surrender to the wildest imaginations and fantasies without restraint .
but anybody experiencing dream - like conditions or seeing and hearing things other people do not when they are awake , is regarded in contemporary western society as a madman or drug addict , or strange at the very least .
but such images and voices are formed not only in the mentally sick or during drug intoxication .
this is down to our imagination : the same neural processes which allow us to design houses , draw paintings or write novels can make the borders between dream , madness and reality become blurred .
conscious conditions which are warped like dreams can occur in the most different forms , in the best case we call them visions , in the worst case madness .
even if their triggers and effects may differ , the visions of mystic hildegard von bingen , the drug experiences of new age prophet carlos castaneda , shaman detachment from reality conditions , psychoses and hallucinations can be traced back to similar processes .
hallucination or delusions occur when the balance of the neural transmitters of the brain - predominantly dopamine noradrenaline , serotonin and acetylcholine - derails and the interaction of different brain segments is dysfunctional .
complex hallucinations and delusional thoughts often occur during schizophrenic psychoses .
gravity no longer has any power over him
the connection between madness and dream has occupied philosophers and doctors since ancient times .
aristotle understood hallucinations to be a form of dream while awake , wilhelm griesinger , a founder of modern psychiatry , detected in 1861 a " huge similarity of madness and dreamlike conditions " , for sigmund freud dreams were even " a psychosis , with all puzzles , delusions and misperceptions of such " .
it is autumn 2001 when henning t. turns into a comic figure .
his body is two- dimensional and excessively gaudy .
gravity no longer has any power over him , he floats at the ceiling of the room .
he feels a kick .
behind him are winged devilish figures with red , distorted faces , snarling .
they hunt him , kick him with heavy , flaming boots , throw him against walls , he feels the pain all over his body .
loud , evil voices emerge from the walls and radio .
he can no longer stand them , the voices that abuse and insult him .
henning t. pulls two cables out of the stereo system , ties them to a knot and attaches it to a hook on the ceiling .
he climbs on a speaker and puts the noose around his neck .
he jumps .
the noose becomes loose .
let that be a lesson to you , the voices scream in an eardrum - tearing choir , " go to the clinic and get treated ! "
today , henning t. is 40 years old , he has had six acute psychoses , the last one is two years back , the first nearly 20 years ago .
it was caused by lsd .
his diagnosis is a schizoaffective - paranoid psychosis , he is also a manic - depressive , he takes drugs against depression , the mania and schizophrenia .
he has learned to live with his illness , he has been married for three years .
in psychosis i experienced the worst fear and deepest desperation , he says .
the illusions are a brutal reality
about 1 per cent of the population suffers at least once in their lifetime from schizophrenia ; in psychiatric clinics , it is treated with a frequency only second to depression .
in an acute schizophrenic psychosis , people affected can no longer distinguish between internal and external world , they reach an overexcited condition which can result in hallucinations , megalomania , paranoia or persecution mania .
particularly common is the hearing of voices - voices which command , comment or involve in dialogue .
visual hallucinations are also not rare .
the affected person can no longer distinguish important things from unimportant things , the brain can no longer filter out disturbing signals , the conscious is flooded by impressions .
like dreams , a psychosis also opens the floodgates on a flood of ideas and phantasies , which stem from the deeper levels of the conscious .
the perception of reality in a psychosis is subject - centred , says professor thomas fuchs , senior physician at the clinic for general psychiatry at the university clinic of heidelberg .
schizophrenic patients are at the heart of the events , the meaning of everything is directed to him .
at the same time , he finds himself in a passive role , he is , like in a dream , overwhelmed by the events can cannot affect them actively .
schizophrenic patients therefore often feel threatened , controlled and manipulated .
a reality comparison is often not available to them , the illusions are a brutal reality , waking up is not possible .
to experience a hallucination once in your life
contrary to dreams , says fuchs , " the sensual and spatial structure of reality , as perceived during a psychosis , remains intact as a rule " .
the delusional thoughts and hallucinations are based in reality , the distortion of the events takes place within a framework of reality .
precisely why our brain plays such tricks on us , is still puzzling to scientists .
extraordinary conditions can cause any person to lose his sense of reality for a short period of time , says fuchs .
but not everybody will develop a psychosis .
there seems to be a genetic tendency to schizophrenia , but studies of twins have shown that genes are not the sole factor .
scientists assume that patients have minimal brain damage .
we think that the neuronal maturing of the brain is disturbed in an early stage of development , through a virus infection in the mother during pregnancy , for instance , explains fuchs .
but it remains a mystery how disturbances to the neuronal system comes about which also do not become manifest for many years initially .
environmental impacts also play a part - stress or traumatic experiences can trigger psychoses if the disposition is given .
hallucinogen drugs can trigger psychoses , as they interfere with the transmitter system .
when our brain runs hot
the mad thing is that psychotics suffer from their hallucinations and take expensive medication to get rid of them , others spend money on drugs to get the same , says lübeck - based psychology professor erich kasten .
whether these illusions are perceived to be pleasant or unpleasant is often only a matter of perspective .
kasten has been collecting reports for ten years on hallucinations and delusions ; last year he assessed his results in a book titled the unreal world in our head .
hallucinations are a typical by - product of psychoses , but also of a remarkably large amount of other diseases .
these include , on top of mental illnesses such as borderline or depression , also often diseases such as migraine , epilepsy , multiple sclerosis or alzheimer 's disease and traumatic brain injuries .
surprisingly , even the brain of healthy people hallucinates under certain conditions .
hallucinations , says kasten , consist of memory fragments , which are often held back .
they occur when areas of the brain , where sensory perceptions are processed , are overactive or not sufficiently restrained ; when our brain runs hot and also when there is a lack of stimulation .
drugs can trigger this condition as much as brain damage or a psychosis .
but sensory deprivation , stress , lovesickness or other mental exceptional conditions too .
in more recent studies , up to one third of respondents claimed to have experienced a hallucination at least once in their lives .
in summer 2005 sarah k. is 16 years old , she is living in a small town in mecklenburg - vorpommern and goes to the local secondary school .
indeed , a perfectly normal girl .
it it were not for the images and voices .
during breaks , it can happen that a lanky boy with long dark hair approaches her .
when she answers him , her schoolmates look at her in surprise - nobody else sees or hears this boy .
they think the girls is a nutty daydreamer , but sarah k. is not dreaming , she knows that much .
she is awake , she sees and hears this boy , just like she sees and hears the girl at the desk next to her .
she can even feel his presence , at least for some moments .
a pleasant feeling it is , she likes the boy .
am i mad ? she sometimes asks .
but she knows that this boy and the other illusions are not real and disappear again .
at night the appearances are usually frightening
the illusions are often a strain .
when she is sitting in the classroom , she sometimes cannot follow because the teacher is to her eyes and ears just introducing a new schoolmate , while she is explaining mathematical equations on the blackboard for everyone else .
at night the appearances are usually frightening .
when she is waiting for sleep in her dark room , which comes far too rarely and late , she often cannot distinguish whether she is awake or already dreaming , whether the images she sees , the grimaces or the girl with the bleeding cuts on her arms and legs is standing in front of her open or closed eyes .
let me be , she screams at the figures .
she does not tell her parents or friends anything about this , they would think she was mad .
autumn 2009 . sarah k. is 20 years old now .
she passed her a levels last year and is now living with her boyfriend .
a year ago the hallucinations stopped .
since she contacted psychologist kasten via the internet , she knows exactly that she is not mad .
madness is also work of art born out of desperation
if someone is socially isolated or suffers from sensory deprivation , he will very probably suffer from hallucinations after some time , says kasten .
i assume that the brain is not busy enough and creates its own entertainment .
sarah k. , a single child , was afraid of other children when she was small ; she often played alone .
her hallucinations started when she learned at the age of 13 that the man she called dad since she could think was not her natural father .
as during visual and acoustic hallucinations those areas of the brain become active which also process real impressions and sounds , it is often difficult for patients like sarah k. to distinguish between illusions and reality . " every experience , " says kasten , " takes place in the brain , reality is reproduced there .
hallucinations are also images , which the brain creates , this is why they seem so real . "
illusions at night are also classified by kasten as a form of hallucination .
the hallucinations of the healthy are not fundamentally different from those during an acute psychosis .
contrary to schizophrene patients , mentally healthy people are able to identify illusions as unreal .
kasten therefore advises his patients to appreciate hallucinations as a special ability .
border between dream and hallucination
in our far too conscious - centred world , imaginary experiencing is often unfortunately pathologised , says michael schmidt - degenhard , professor in heidelberg and senior physician of the clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy of the florence nightingale hospital in düsseldorf .
a psychosis is a severe , painful illness , but it also brings positive aspects , creativity - madness is also a work of art born out of desperation .
schmidt - degenhard has researched the so-called oneiroid experience , a particular form of conscious conditions which are warped like dreams .
oneiroids are highly complex , detailed quasi dreams , which the person experiencing them believes are real and which he later cannot distinguish from being awake .
the oneiroid condition occurs in trauma - or sickness - related extreme situations , for instance in polyradiculitis patients , who experience a motor paralysis in full consciousness .
if a person is threatened by self- or world loss , for instance due to persistent , complete loss of mobility , he replaces the life - threatening real situation with an own , imaginary world , which is uncoupled from reality , says schmidt - degenhard .
a kind of border between dream and hallucination
as the mastering of a situation is not possible in reality , a change of world takes place , but the real situation is not updated in the imagination .
an intense form of creating and applying meaning in an unbearable situation , which allows us people our own ability to design and not go under in the emptiness of a loss of consciousness .
everything is real , even later in the memory
the zurich - based art historian peter cornelius claussen also describes his oneiroid experiences in his book a change of heart as the sole 's attempt to safe itself .
he is 49 years old when his consciousness takes off on journeys for days after heart valve surgery with subsequent heart transplantation while his body is damned to immobility in the intensive care unit .
claussen delves into a world of his creation , visits foreign places and times : he experiences himself as a bedridden , old man , on board a train sanatorium , a robot watching over his health .
he lives in the early middle ages amongst noblemen who make intoxicants from blood .
he is abducted by a greek man on his motorbike to his homeland , surfs with his hospital bed in the spring snow of the alps and meets a korean member of the mafia .
he is fully taken up with the imaginary events ; everything is real , even later in his memory .
these inner trips , claussen believes , are fundamentally different from every dream .
dream is a different condition , he describes his experience .
contrary to that , the memories from mental trips are overtly clear to me even after years and in minute detail .
even clearer and more intense that real events .
the intensity of this experience breaks the horizon of our day - to - day experiences , says psychiatrist schmidt - degenhard .
ultimately , oneiroids , psychoses , hallucinations and drug intoxication show how fragile our images of the external reality are , even when awake .
every change to the conscious , summarises psychologist kasten , " can result in a warping of what we call reality " .
an experience which can indeed be enriching .
the snow can come
burda
children set to take over the publishing house at the age of 27
kallen , the new head of the publishing house , is an interim solution : in the long term , hubert burda wants his company to be taken over by his two children , he has told the spiegel magazine .
the holding is to remain to 100 % in the family .
hamburg - the publisher hubert burda sees the long- term future of his company in his children 's hands .
both children will inherit at the age of 27 and are strongly intent on joining the company , the 69 -year-old has told the spiegel magazine .
the details have already been organised as a precaution .
the question whether they will be active in the company will only arise later .
also the question whether they are able to do so .
one cannot put one 's children in charge of 7,500 employees if they are not capable of this .
that will kill the children , and the company with them .
on thursday , burda announced that he would be resigning from his post as chairman as of january and appointed paul - bernhard kallen as his successor .
52 -year-old kallen has been a member of the board at burda since 1999 .
he was initially responsible for technology .
later , with the treasury department , he assumed responsibility for the company assets , and after jürgen todenhöfer 's departure , also for direct marketing , foreign operations , print and finances .
for the first time , a person who is not a family member is thus at the helm of the publishing house .
burda 's children are 19 and 17 ; his son felix , who would be 42 today , died a couple of years ago .
the appointment of kallen is designed to " bridge 10 , 15 years " , says burda .
the holding is to remain to 100 per cent in family ownership , said burda .
in light of the cases of schickedanz and schaeffler , burda stated that family - owned companies are not safe from going under either : " that always affected families who were infected with a capital addiction , who speculated wrongly and through they could advance to become a really big player .
that never was my strategy .
he never had " dreams of world power " , says burda .
i do not see myself as a political preceptor of the country , as springer was , and i do not want to participate in the world league with time magazine , these companies have become too big .

endesa and barcelona with the electric car
the electric company endesa , together with barcelona city council , has created ' office live . '
this is a project to develop and promote the electric car in the catalan capital .
office live ' ( logistics for the implementation of the electric vehicle ) will define and coordinate the roadmap for the implementation of the electric car in the city , and will define the conditions for mobility , management , coordination , present subsidies , etc .
moreover , movele will develop the project , promote the electric car , review public opinion and work from the sectors involved .
in short , it hopes to promote what will be the transportation of the future .
3 ' electric cities '
but barcelona is not the only city that is going to be involved in the implementation of the electric car in spain .
madrid and seville are joining the project .
they are the three cities chosen by the government to promote the implementation of the electric vehicle within the movele plan .
the electric company endesa has already signed a framework agreement with the generalitat of catalonia .
with that , it hopes to promote the activities of the research and technological development in the autonomous community of catalonia .
these include activities linked to energy and , in particular , energy efficiency .
it is not the only initiative endesa is involved in regarding the promotion of the electric vehicle .
the company participates in standardization groups at the european level and has a series of active complementary projects , such as g4v , elvire and cenit verde .
zapatero sees ' a horizon of peace ' for the automotive sector .
the prime minister , jose luis rodriguez zapatero , catches a glimpse of ' a horizon of peace ' for the spanish automotive industry , which , he pointed out , is the principal export sector in the country .
in the prime minister 's presentation of the economic report for 2009 , zapatero reviewed the measures the government had launched throughout the fiscal year to support the automotive sector .
" without the automotive competitiveness plan , today we would have a panorama of neglect and the closure of some of our major production plants , " the prime minister explained .
" through this plan and the arrangement of the brands to continue in this highly competitive sector in spain , we can have a horizon of peace for the future of this industry , which is our principal export sector , " he added .
in this regard , he recalled that thecompetitiveness plan , included in the comprehensive plan of the automobile industry ( pia ) , allocated 800 million to projects of 19 manufacturers and 137 auxiliary companies , which mobilized an investment of more than 3 billion euros .
the head of the executive branch explained that this investment was committed as much to the development of new models as it was to upgrading already existing products and processes .
zapatero also stressed the government 's measures to support the demand , alluding to plan 2000e , implemented in collaboration with the autonomous communities and automotive brand .
according to the prime minister , this plan has reduced emissions by 6 % in new vehicles sold on the spanish market and has brought about a " sharp increase " in enrollment , which rose by " 40 percent " in november ..

mazda3 i - stop : sustainable sportsmanship
mazda wants to show that sportsmanship is not incompatible with the environment .
therefore , mazda3 has just added an engine stopping and starting system - dubbed as the i - stop - , a mechanism which is , for the moment at least , only available with the 150 - horse power 2.0 petrol engine .
this second generation of the mazda3 stands out for its overall high ratings .
the finishes , features , comfort , performance , mechanics , the i - stop system ...
all of these aspects are outstanding in the new mazda3 .
starting with the driver 's seat , we see that the front seats offer excellent ergonomics and support .
the feel of the steering wheel is also exquisite .
moving on to thecombination of the dashboard and console , we see how mazda has continued the japanese tendency to create a futuristic interior design with a great deal of buttons , knobs and striking red and blue colors .
this style reminds us , in part , of the honda civic .
so , we can say that the mazda3 and the civic , both japanese , contrast with the sobriety of the german products , more specifically , the volkswagen golf , which everyone wants to beat .
continuing with the interior , this japanese compact is easily roomy enough for four adults to travel in great comfort .
all of this comes with a spacious trunk and standard dimensions .
the engine 's automatic stopping and starting system , at least for now , is only available with the two- liter , 150 - horse - power , manual , six - gear , petrol engine .
this engine is a real delight.what makes it outstanding are its subtlety , reduced noise levels , features and fuel consumption .
and even though the diesel versions of the madzda3 will be in higher demand , those who don 't do too much mileage a year should not dismiss this i - stop petrol engine system , both for its elevated driving comfort and its fuel consumption .
as regards the level of the equipment , the version chosen for the test is called the sportive , meaningit incorporates a high number of standard elements .
the standard equipment is excellent , especially the lane changing assistant ( rvm ) which eliminates the blind spot , the traction and stability controls , the speed control , the interior photosensitive mirror , the large - screen onboard computer , the parking sensors , independent climate control , rain and lights sensor , bluetooth and bluetooth audio , and 17 " alloy wheels .
additionally , with less equipment , this version comes with the premium pack , which , for 1,500 euros , also features : bi - xenon adaptive headlights and a bose sound system with cd changer , among other things .
conclusion
the mazda3 2.0 i - stop is one of the best compacts in its category .
it is particularly outstanding in terms of the quality of the materials used , its performance , and the high standard of its equipment .
additionally , those who do less yearly mileage can opt for this version of the i - stop , associated only with the 150 - horse - power 2.0 engine .
the only drawback of this model is its high price , which ranges from 21,770 euros for the luxury pack to 23,270 euros for the sportive version , tested here .
in exchange for the high price , the mazda3 will offer a large daily dose of satisfaction .
deluxe ' premiere '
l. a. covers the red carpet of sensuality by the hand of penelope cruz , nicole kidman and fergie .
the stars were more dazzling than ever , wrapped in designer dresses , as elegant as they were sexy , at the premiere of ' nine ' . ( photos : gtresonline )
our own ' pe ' , as sophisticated as ever , decided on a dark ' lady . '
the promise of fonpeek
peek is extremely limited , a device that 's only used for checking email , without no feature for viewing certain kinds of attachments or surfing the web .
it enjoyed its 5 minutes of fame in the u.s. when times magazine named it one of the products of the year .
seeing it on the street is more difficult , to be honest , but the idea can be interesting , especially for children .
unlike smartphones , the peek is very cheap and has a very low monthly fee , less than half , for example , of the iphone 's data plan .
given its success , the company has released two new devices : one exclusively for twitter , the other with a free data service for life in exchange for paying six times more for the peek .
fonpeek , presented at the la web event yesterday , is the european version of the invention and its third incarnation .
it is just as limited as its u.s. counterpart , but comes with a surprise .
the monthly service price , around 12 euros a month , includes roaming throughout europe .
those who travel with a smartphone already know what it 's like to have to give up data when they cross the border or desperately search for a cafe with wifi ( or a fon connection ) to check their mail .
the idea of fixed - price roaming is incredibly attractive and long awaited .
yes , some operators have special arrangements and travel plans , but in my experience it takes a doctorate in physics to understand them and good glasses to read the fine print .
the repeated twisting of the european commission 's arm to get affordable roaming rates across europe has had almost no noticeable effect .
there 's a fear of using data outside one 's home country , and rightly so .
for a gadget like the fonpeek ( it no longer seems strange that it is called fon since it lacks wifi ) to get this kind of fee , it means that the operators are starting the think differently and study different means of recouping the cost of their data networks .
the kindle is another good example , including a book downloading feature and other internet queries .
no contracts , no bother .
it 's a connected device and is paid for when it 's purchased , not month by month .
and that is what i hope to see one day with fonpeek , a call option with life - time access , which the peek already has in the u.s.
not because i 'm going to buy it .
i check my mail on my phone , thank you .
i hope so because i think it 's an unfair model for the consumer .
it would be interesting to see a computer with the same system .
michelle 's color fetish
yellow is , without a doubt , the u.s. first lady 's favorite color .
she already attended barak obama 's inauguration as u.s. president in a yellow dress and coat ; she chose the same to accompany him to what was undoubtedly the second most important moment of his life : the nobel peace prize ceremony in oslo .
michelle obama wore a very similar dress on both occasions : apart from being a similar yellow - green color with bright highlights - , both times the outfit consisted of three pieces , a dress , jacket and coat of the same material , and was adorned with a large embroidery or necklace .
so much so that , at first glance , it seemed the first lady of the u.s. has been following the princess of asturias ' lead and has opted to repeat her wardrobe .
but the material the two suits are made of make them very different .
if the inauguration was about thick lace , in oslo it was patterned velvet .
the accessories have also varied : green medium- heeled shoes the other time , and now a similar design , but in gold .
and equally different is the hair style : on this occasion , hair tied back ; previously she wore her hair down .
75 % of working mothers have had work problems during maternity .
discrimination at work has increased in recent years , especially for women of younger generations who want to be mothers .
this has been revealed by a study entitled ' fertility and work history of women in spain ' , developed by the csic in collaboration with the women 's institute .
the survey of 9,737 women from 15 to 75 years old leaves no doubt about it : 75 % of working mothers have seen their opportunities in the workplace limited due to maternity .
the study notes that there are many differences in when couples start cohabiting , in the number of children , depending on whether they work or not and the type of work they do .
those that don 't have an activity outside of the home , work part time , or don 't have a stable job start living with their partner sooner , expect their first child , and have more children .
by contrast , women with a stable job , especially in the public sector , put off cohabitation and motherhood and have fewer offspring .
" women between 35 and 49 years old with steady work have the first child , on average , 3.7 years after starting to live together , a figure which increases to 4.1 ; women with steady jobs need more time to achieve their lifelong goals , which has led them to postpone getting married and having children .
additionally , the type of job held has a great influence over maternity , but less over the mating schedule , " explains csic researcher , margarita delgado .
level of education is another factor whichdifferentiates the age of women marrying and having their first child .
according to the survey , the higher the level of education , the older the age at which they get married and have their first child .
there was also a difference among women from the same generation .
for example , in a group of 35 - to 49 - year - olds , those who had elementary and those who and higher education had become mothers for the first time , on average , at 25.1 and 32.1 respectively .
their level of education provides yet another division among women .
while those who have an elementary education marry and have their first child before finding a stable job , those who have secondary or higher levels of education reverse the sequence and give priority to securing a stable job as a precondition to marriage and having a child , " delgado specifies .

poker by manuel vicent
in ' four aces ' ( alfaguara , illustrations by fernando vicente ) manuel vicent gives us thirty profiles of writers who have passed through their literary life ( and , in some cases , the other one too ) .
he does not do it in predictable or terrible ways ( biographical sketch , life and work ) , rather by looking for something that sparked the creation of the character .
the trip has its excitements , and vincent us spares no scares or illuminations .
in addition to being an exquisite pleasure , the book is a touching invitation to be read and reread .
here are some snippets .
on albert camus : " in his pages i discovered that the mediterranean wasn 't a sea , rather a spiritual instinct , almost physical , the same one i felt without giving it a name : the pleasure against the ill - fated , morality without guilt , and innocence without any god . "
on samuel beckett : " nihilistic , allegorical christian , he wrote what was in his blood , not in his intellect , between impotence and ignorance , with a dazzling poetic humor , meaningless , like the blade of the knife that was about to kill him . "
on graham greene : " our man was abducted by this woman with a passion that lasted for thirteen years , in which flesh combined the excitement of adultery with the pleasure of remorse , a spiritual privilege which consisted of reaching heaven through the road of perdition . "
on james joyce : " ' ulysses ' was published in paris in 1922 by sylvia beach.this is one of the eight - thousand - meter peaks of world literature which must be scaled by the north face , which the best mountain climbers hurl themselves off time and time again . "
on william faulkner : " he was a weird guy . "
of himself , he sometimes said that he was the heir to a landowner in the county , and other times that he was the son of a black woman and a crocodile .
" they were both dreams of grandeur . "
on louis - ferdinand celine : " this writer took the deranged scream cried from a bridge by that character from munich in order to carry his eco , under his literary form , into the depths of the night of the 20th century , and made it a journey , hiding from himself and calling on the past with a violent discourse to the worms . "
on dorothy parker : " one day , she kneeled and prayed : ' dear god , i beg you to make me stop writing like a woman ' . "
on joseph conrad : " on his tomb were engraved these verses from spencer : ' sleep after toil , / port after stormy seas , / ease after war , / death after life does greatly please . ' "
on virginia wolf : " she also carried her depressions in her luggage .
the husband accepted it as normal when she told him that edward vii spied on her from the azaleas and that the birds sang in greek .
there has never been a man so patient and in love with a neurotic woman whose literary talent came before her madness . "
on pio baroja : " what did martin - santos do but try to inoculate joyce in baroja ?
what did benet try but to pass baroja through the weapons of faulkner ?
what did cela do but abduct the glory of that man so that it would serve his own pedestal ?
cowardly aggression
last week , my 70 -year-old mother was walking through our neighborhood in the town of fuenlabrada when a group of kids between 15 and 18 years old passed alongside her and our dog , a mixed - breed , rescued from the pound and weighing no more than six kilos , and , without saying a word , kicked the dog twice , leaving the dog badly injured .
our indignation knew no bounds because we don 't see the fun in gratuitous aggression towards a small and defenseless animal , which by the way , was on a leash .
it must be added that it distressed the woman who was calmly taking a walk and who , when she reprimanded those individuals , came to fear for her safety , because a lunatic who attacks an animal is capable of doing the same to a woman , a child , an elderly person , and , certainly , to anyone weaker than himself .
the incident took place on atuesday at five o'clock in the afternoon in what is usually a quiet neighborhood .
the dog was crying all day .
by the way , we filed a complaint at a nearby police station which we doubt means much , notto stir up trouble , just to clarify that the cowardly murderers were spanish .
the outrage has led us to denounce this fact .
we don 't understand what is happening when young people consider it fun to gratuitously mistreat a defenseless animal which gives us love , companionship and friendship .
we don 't know if there is any politeness and respect for animals and people left .
michelin and fesvial united on the use of helmets
the tire manufacturer michelin , in collaboration with the spanish foundation for road safety ( fesvial ) , has launched a campaign to promote the use of helmets , especially among younger motorists , both organizations reported today .
this initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of wearing a helmet , because it is the only means of protection capable of preventing head injuries and even death in the event of an accident while riding a motorcycle .
michelin indicated that this campaign is part of their commitment to road safety which " goes beyond designing and manufacturing safer products every day , " and added that it also contributes towards this goal by means of other educational and informative measures .
this new campaign promoting helmet use in motorcycles , under the motto ' to be or not to be , ' will initially distribute posters to more than 500 motorcycle shops to spread the message as widely as possible .
finally , michelin stressed that road safety " is a constant concern " for the company , as being a manufacturer of tires for two- wheeled vehicles , one of its main goals is to develop ever safer products .
sales of light commercial vehicles on the increase
almost two years later , the light commercial vehicle market begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel .
the 9,425 vehicles registered in november in spain represent a rise of 12.6 % from 2008 , and , more importantly , indicates the first increase after 22 consecutive months of decline , according to figures from the manufacturers association ( anfac ) and the vendors association ( ganvam ) .
however , it 's not time to start celebrating since the reference the comparison was made to - november 2008 - was particularly bad , with a 60 % decrease from the previous year .
the outcome is that , regardless of last month 's upturn , the total number of registrations during those 11 months is 40 % below last year 's .
since january , 95,853 units of all the vehicle classes which make up the hotchpotch of light commercial vehicles were sold : derived vans , pick ups , vans , light vans and light - chassis trucks .
at the same time , the storm clouds affecting demand have not completely cleared , so even though they are also purchased by individuals , most purchases are made by small and medium- sized enterprises , almost all of which pay through external funding .
as a result of the restrictions caused by closed tap bank loans , it is necessary to add other factors like increasing unemployment and the persistent economic decline .
in light of this , unlike cars , the aid of the 2000epurchase has done little .
aside from individuals , provisions are made for the self- employed and smes that are going to purchase a light commercial vehicle of up to 3.5 tons with a co2 emission level not exceeding 160 grams per kilometer , but the number of transactions has been insignificant .
just yesterday , the need for the administration to devote special attention to these vehicles , and also to commercial verhicles ( trucks and buses ) , was brought to mind by ganvam .
the sellers ' association predicts that 2010 will be similar to the year coming to a close , which estimates a 19 % drop in sales ( passenger cars and 4x4s ) .
support for emergency braking is already obligatory
support systems to emergency brakes will have to be a mandatory feature in european cars , just as it happened with anti- lock breaks ( abs ) and will happen with stability control ( esp )
in fact , they are already in all newly registered passenger cars and light commercial vehicles , while the rest have a grace period until the end of february 2011 .
the measure , imposed by the european union , aims to increase pedestrian safety ; however , how they work can also help prevent many rear - end collisions .
what the emergency brake assistant does is increase the pressure on the brakes in the event of an emergency , which the system detects through the driver 's pressure on the pedal .
but this doesn 't always maintain that pressure through to the end .
according to a study conducted by the car components manufacturer , bosch , a third of drivers involved in an accident had not stepped on the brake before a collision and half of them didn 't apply the full force .
up to 1,100 accidents
the intervention of the aid , however , calls for the full braking system , reducing the distance the car needs to stop .
according to an eu study , if all cars were equipped with this feature , 1,100 fatal accidents involving pedestrians could be avoided a year .
the reduction will be even bigger - it estimates that one in four accidents injuring people would be avoided - when the so-called smart emergency braking systems become popular .
in this case , the vehicle is equipped with a system which ( via radar or a camera ) detects obstacles and warns the driver , in addition to lightly applying the brakes .
if the driver reacts , he helps it by increasing the pressure on the pedal if it is necessary .
if he does not react , and even though the collision is unavoidable , the device exerts the maximum force to the brakes to minimize damage .
general motors delays opel plan until january
while workers at the opel plant in figueruelas ( zaragoza ) have already been informed by nick reilly , the new president of general motors ( gm ) europe , that the production of the new meriva will begin in the first week of april - probably the 8th - as reported by javier ortega , the u.s. manufacturer is cautioning that more time is needed to conclude the recovery plan for opel .
nick reilly , the new president of gm europe , wants each of the points of the new plan to have the prior approval of the affected party .
and this may make the final document , which will be submitted first to the workers and then to the governments of the countries where there are factories , be delayed until the beginning of 2010 .
on the other hand , gm is making sure that a decision regarding the sale of saab should be made in the next few days .
it is not strange that the swedish government has increased the pressure on the u.s. manufacturer to make a decision as soon as possible .
gm admits to having had contact with some potential new buyers .
one of them could be geely , which aims to acquire volvo , but the option of the dutch sports car manufacturer skyper , which is funded by the russian group converg , is gaining momentum .
in the event that none of them come to an agreement , gm would be able to sell some saab assets to the chinese baic .
the decision to close saab at the end of the year if it is not sold still stands .
driving the porsche boxster spyder
to develop their latest and most precious gem , the porsche engineers took the boxster s as a base and succeeded in trimming it by no less than 80 kilos , making the total weight a mere 1,275 kilos .
this led them to , first , cutting out the automatic roof , which has been substituted by a manually - operated canvas one , saving 21 kilos ; using aluminum doors , like those on the gt3 , ' dropping ' another 15 , removing the climate control , 13 ; reducing the gas tank from 64 to 54 liters , earning 7 more kilos ; mounting sporty bucket seats , another 12 , and with the 19 - inch lightweight wheels , five .
finally , foregoing the cdr - 30 sound system brought it down another 6 kilograms , and changing the door handles to fabric ones cut the remaining kilo .
even though it is also available with the pdk dual - clutch shift , the test was conducted on a unit with the six - speed manual transmission , mainly on the back roads of california and along stretches of really windy mountain roads .
its performance can only be described as flawless .
the reduction in weight does not imply that the car doesn 't grip the asphalt .
rather the complete opposite : it has been some time since we tested a model so small and light , which , in turn , transmitted so much confidence when cornering , even at high speeds .
it is a small athlete , able to warm up its muscles in a low gear for as long as we need , until ordered to sprint , to brake , to recover and go back to exploiting its engine ...
just what we asked for . thanks to its steering , as communicative as it is precise , what we tell it with our hands on the wheel is what the car will do .
and it will do it with surgical precision .
optional engine noise
the sound of its v6 boxer with 320 horse power ( 10 more than the boxster s ) is well made and can be enhancedwith the ' sport ' option and through a system that modifies the roar of the engine , which debuted earlier in the panamera .
the acceleration is brutal , either from a standstill or recovering .
the suspension is firm but not harsh or uncomfortable .
the asphalt of the highways we crossed with the boxster spyder was fairly beaten up , but the car handled the potholes well .
the electronic aids hardly showed up on the course ; that is because , well into the morning , we found early morning ice and gravel on some curves .
in short , it is an ultra lightweight car , one of the most fun to drive on the market , andis a bit more than just a simple modification of the boxster s.
the car will go on sale in february 2010 , priced at 70,931 euros .
' bag girl '
close to karl lagerfeld , the image of the coco cocoon line and occasional ' starlet ' of the catwalk , the singer lavishes her bad - girl image with as much contempt as she has chanel bags .
more than a ' bad girl ' or ' it girl ' , she is a 'bag girl ' .
baskonia gives away a victory in israel
caja laboral achieved a stunning 82 - 91 victory on their visit to the maccabee electra court despite dusko ivanovic 's team 's heavy losses , and after the great performance by mizra teltovic , who was the best on his team with eight three - pointers scored ( 29 points ) , they now at the top of their group .
the vitorian team knew to make up for the significant absences of herrmann , oleson , huertas and micov with a big dose of involvement and team work , even though it had to hold out until the end to take the victory .
additionally , their huge success from the sidelines , with 16 three pointers scored , had a lot to do with the final triumph .
the game started out in favor of the azulgranas , who put themselves ahead on the scoreboard from the start .
as vitora 's first four baskets were from the perimeter , the speculation was already that they had jumped into the israeli net with hot wrists .
english and teletovic were the main scorers of the 18 - 20 at the end of the first period .
the second quarter was more of the same , but the alavan team opted for the inside game of barac and the work of eliyahu , who was greeted with whistles and applause at his return home , to continue increasing their lead by half-time ( 34 - 43 ) .
teletovic had already begun to stand out as the best on his team with 13 points , even though splitter 's " six fewer " points already signaled that it wasn 't going to be the best night for the brazilian .
but the game , despite being headed for half time , was not more decidedand the maccabees tried to remind the vitorians that not just anybody wins on their court , and with the ' hand of elias ' putting the pressure on , they managed to get involved in the game .
eidson and pnini played a decisive role in the " yellows ' " return to the light .
more disadvantages
ivanovic 's players , injured but far from dead , needed to run a couple of plays correctly before they could breathe , and that 's when the machine gun marza teletovic arrived , with three almost consecutive three - pointers and the help of english and ribas , he brought the scoreboard back to a reassuring lead ( 54 - 67 ) , which the home team managed to narrow down at the end of the third quarter ( 57 - 67 ) .
the alavas worked themselves to the bone in the last period , and english and san emeterio ( 65 - 75 ) had already made it clear that they were not going to let anyone take away what they had earned during the first thirty minutes .
however , pnini and eidson , the best on their team , did not give up and tried to keep their team alive from the three - point line ( 70 - 77 ) .
in spite of this , and with splitter fouling out , ivonic 's team didn 't rush , defended well , and , even though the israelis came close at the last minute , the game ws already won and victory escaped tel aviv for the first time in the season .
injuries impede unicaja 's fight
unicaja lost miserably in greece against the olympiacos and gave them the lead in group b of the euroleague in a game marked by the loss of the cajistas , especially in the inside game ( freeland , lima and archibald ) which facilitated the greek victory .
the malaga team was not cowed by the atmosphere in the peace and friendship stadium , nor by the excellence of its rival , maybe the most powerful in europe and with a big budget .
the playing exhibited in the first quarter allowed the andalusians to take it easy.an aggressive defense and three consecutive three - pointers , two from the point guard omar cook , and one from guillem gubio , baffled the home team 12 - 18 , minute 9 .
the olympiacos were obviously surprised by unicaja 's intensity , even though the home team 's arsenal in the inside game with bourousis , vujcic and schortsanitis brought them back to 22 - 20 , in the 13th minute , at which point an attempted fight between the two u.s. point guards , beverley and williams , resulted in the disqualification of both players .
the greek team started showing their superiority inside both zones , where the loss of english center joel freeland to injury and three personal fouls by carlos jimenez hampered the cajistas .
between them the inside players and the lithuanian forward , linas leizas , with their three - pointers , increased the lead to 44 - 32 in the 19th minute .
an impossible comeback
the third period was very offensive for the olympiacos , who , despite 19 losses , proved superior and began to even out the difference in the game in malaga , making it 66 - 48 in the 27th minute , which shook the group leader .
unicaja tried to overcome their absences and the latest withdrawal of the scottish center , robert archibald , who was injured during the game .
despite all the problems , because of cook 's control and three - pointers , and lewis ' assists , unicaja had some hope left with the score at 66 - 57 in the 31st minute .
but it was practically impossible because the olympiacos , when pressed and given their superiority , seemed unstoppable once centimeters inside the zone .
the croatian center , nikola vujcic , managed to bring back the basket average to 81 - 62 in the 37th minute and unicaja gave up , handing the top - seed over to the olympiacos .

brazil sets a release date for zelaya
the brazilian government has put a deadline on manuel zelaya 's stay in the embassy in tegucigalpa .
the deposed president must leave the embassy by the 27th of january , 2010 at the latest , when his mandate officially ends .
francisco catunda , the chargé d'affaires of the brazilian embassy in the honduran capital , told tv globo that " mel " knows that he must leave the embassy , where he has been a refugee since 21st september , before that date .
" he is aware that he has to leave on january 27th , the end of his term ; he has to look for another occupation . "
the station also quoted the former president , who confirmed his intention to leave the embassy before the deadline : " my plan is to leave as soon as possible , obviously with the support of the brazilian government , " zelaya said via telephone .
following the november 29th elections ( in which profiro lobo was elected ) , zelaya said that he would remain in the embassy until january .
however , this very week , he tried to find refuge in brazil .
the operation finally ended unsuccessfully with the rejection of zelaya 's political refugee status , which the government headed by roberto micheletti tried to impose " de facto " .
thanks a lot
after days of wine and roses from last spring , when inflation was the prevailing trend on the markets , uncertainty again rears its ugly head , which is not surprising since it is their natural state , in an environment in which agents make decisions about the naturally uncertain future .
the cure prescribed by the central banks to stabilize the markets was to monetize debt with the direct purchase of assets and indirectly give an open bar liquidity at close - to - zero rates so that the financial institutions would buy deductible assets .
the central banks have already confirmed that direct purchases of assets have practically ended and , without questioning their unorthodox liquidity policy , are beginning to throw a spanner in the works as the ecb makes its yearly auction next week .
therefore , investors doubt the ability of the global economy to sustain economic recovery without such unorthodox measures , and we are seeing a reversal of the reduction in risk premiums .
the volatility of the stock markets and the corporate bond spreads have swiftly picked up again , even though they are far behind the extreme levels that they reached at the beginning of the year .
the states were obligated to socialize private risk , and again public debt is going to be affected .
again there is a flight for quality and the u.s. , japan and germany have been the refuge of choice for investors , causing awider spread of the eurozone countries in respect to germany .
spain hardly seems to have been affected by this period of instability , but that 's when standard and poor 's arrived and threatened a new revision , downgrading the kingdom of spain .
furthermore , some uncertainty doesn 't hurt to silence defenders of moral hazard , who again tried to raise awareness of those responsible for the global economic policy by having stopped the destructive effects derived from credit restrictions on the loss of jobs , when what should be done is to declare a new thanksgiving day .
however , dubai 's paints with a tribal fight between the emirs to restore power in the emirates , and we 've already seen it before in greece .
a government which hides the public deficit , elections and a new government that pulls up the rug .
prodi did it in italy after berlusconi , and socrates in portugal after barroso .
it doesn 't make sense that ecofin saved hungry from a breach of its external payments at the beginning of the year , and thatit is going to let a euro member - country fail to fulfill its commitments .
what is logical is that ecofin has forced the greek government to be transparent , and make its citizens jointly responsible for the need for extraordinary measures to maintain the stability of its public finances .
if , as we hope , we find ourselves before a standardized period of transient risk premiums , after some excess of leveraged positions , it would be within our expectations .
in the case of spain , since our public debt is spreading like the european corporate bonds , we should not be worried .
if the european spreads decrease and ours continue to expand , then it would be an idiosyncratic risk for spain .
that of standard & poor 's is an anecdote . when our leading indicators are forcing the majority of research services to anticipate its recovery scenarios and to revise up its scenario for 2011 , including the oecd and the european commission , they return to the fray with a japanese scenario for the spanish economy , and long life expectancy does not portend its warning .
again , it has all the earmarks to be an excellent opportunity to buy spanish assets , but for now , " prudence , my driver . "

the iberdrola chairman , ignacio sanchez galan , was the first to speak yesterday before the subcommittee of the house of representatives , where spain 's energy strategy for the next two decades is currently being debated .
after his speech , which was followed by the president of gas natural - fenosa , rafael villaseca , galan gave the press a few glimpses of what was planned in the subcommittee behind closed doors .
for the president of iberdrola , spain needs to invest 50 billion euros by 2020 and another 60 billion between that date and 2030 , while they keep operating the nuclear power plants which are presently open .
otherwise , the investments required will not be 60 billion , but up to 95 billion .
yes , iberdrola believes that in the next decade investments should not be spent on increasing its generating capacity , but on distribution networks and on international interconnections .
from 2020 on , the matter changes and the power will have to increase .
his bet is in both coal plants withcarbon dioxide catchers and , especially , renewable sources of energy .
in this case , he considers that it takes 18,000 new mw , and that is with " support energy . "
though he believes that the sustainable economy act , which the government has just approved , is in line with what his company has been calling for , galan would not draw blood with a royal decree to promote the consumption of domestic coal , which contradicts the policies to combat climate change .
in his opinion , there is " a clear , long- term gamble " in this sense , despite the " sure " measures , as the chairman of iberdrola calls them .
as it is , galan believes that the decisions to invest , even though they are long- term , should start to be made since it has already taken a long time to think them through , and a stable framework for addressing remuneration is necessary .
ferrovial wins the ' handling ' of aer lingus in ten airports
ferrovial 's airport ground services subsidiary , swiss swissport , is going to be the irish airline aer lingus ' preferred partner for cargo services in ten of the european airports where it operates .
paris , london , frankfurt and brussels are among the most prominent .
the agreement , which has not transcended economic terms , will last for five years .
moreover , ferrovial , the autonomous government of castile - la mancha , and the university of alcala de henares signed a protocol of cooperation yesterday to create a center for the innovation of intelligent infrastructure .
the alliance includes an investment of 20 million by 2012 , 50 % of which comes from ferrovial .
one of the center 'stasks will be to research energy efficiency on highways and in airports .
acciona disputes its first highway in australia with hotchief and bouygues .
acciona is struggling for its first highway concession in australia , a market where it already operates as a an energy and water company .
the construction involves a 1.7 billion australian dollar tunnel ( about 1.047 billion euros ) .
the french bouygues and german hotchief are its rivals .
a 5 - km tunnel in the australian city of brisbane , on the east coast , has become the closest chance for accionato settle in the countryas a construction and motorway company .
the city council wants to have it completed by the end of 2014 .
after opting for the public - private partnership ( the acronym ppp in english ) to move the project forward , in a business plan under the tutelage of ernst & young , the administration already has a final list of candidates to take over the work and exploit the toll .
depending on the bids submitted by next may , the planned investment comes to 1.7 billion australian dollars ( 1.047 billion euros ) and three consortia , with a remarkable predominance of european construction firms , are competing in the final stage .
the group known as transcity , is headed by acciona , the only spanish one in the competition , and its partners are bmd and ghella .
the first is a major australian construction company , while the second , based in italy , is one of europe 's leading specialists in undergroundconstructions .
the northern district consortium is pitted against acciona 's team , with the presence of britain 's laing o'rourke , the australian infrastructure group transfield , and the french construction group bouygues .
the third and final consortium to make it through the selection process is called lbrjv , where australia 's leighton ( a subsidiary of the german construction company hochtief , owned in turn by acs ) , domestic baulderstone ( owned by the german group bilfinger berger ) and razel , the gallic firm specializing in civil construction , split the capital .
the australian infrastructures market promises big jobs and privatization , but it carries a clear start - up difficulty if it 's not leaning towards hiring a local construction company .
it is one strategy that the aforementioned hochtief and bilfinger , in addition to asian shareholders , have pursued , and one that remains unresolved for the spanish giants in the industry .
acs barely acquired a position in that market through its 30 % stake in hochtief , theproprietor of the aforementioned leighton .
asset millionaires
acciona is bidding on a geographical location of the utmost importance for the sector , which already has a strong presence from its activity as an energy provider and the desalination business .
among other assets , it has the largest wind farm , waubra wind farm ( 192 mw ) in victoria , and leads the corporate groupresponsible for building and managing the desalination plant in adelaida with a budget of 700 million .
now it intends to consolidate these two areas and exploit synergies in the fields of construction and infrastructure operations .
the underground toll road , sponsored by the brisbane department of infrastructure and the northern link , is calledupon to connect the toowong western highway with the bypass in kelvin grove ( see map ) through the 5 - kilometer tunnel.it is a major endeavor to reduce the traffic in brisbane .
the timetable set by the administration sets the deadline for the decision in the summer of 2010 and for the work to start in december of next year .
although this toll road would be open for traffic in the closing months of 2014 , the work is not anticipated to be completed until 2016 .
the tunnel began to take shape in 2005 .
it will include two lanes in each direction , an electric toll system and a sophisticated ventilation system .
the queensland government will provide 500 million dollars ( 308 million euros ) for funding .
brisbane is already offering business to hochtief .
australia continues to provide remarkable commodities to hochtief , which announced its receipt of a government contract worth 154 million yesterday .
the firm , owned in- part by acs , will set up the national broadband infrastructure with fiber optic cables through its local subsidiary , leighton .
this will provide high - speed internet access to 400,000 people and will provide work for the german firm for 18 months .
moreover , the company has transferred the project to build the 27 - story high king george tower in the australian city of brisbane.the work has yet to begin , and hochtief has closed the sale for 129 million .
presently , in the u.k. , more specifically in manchester , laing o'rourke will partake in the construction and operation of two schools over 25 years .
the initial investment will total 75 million euros .
fcc awarded a tunnel in slovenia for 64 million
fcc , through its subsidiary alpine , has been awarded the construction of a 2.1 - kilometer - long tunnel for a highway in slovenia for 64.5 million euros .
the firm received this contract days after getting bosruck 's ( austria ) tunnel expansion job .
by doing this , alpine is strengthening its expertise in tunnel construction .
the construction is planned to start in the beginning of 2010 , and the project timeframe will span 32 months .
sra . rushmore is awarded renfe 's advertising
renfe has appropriated approximately three million euros annually for the advertising and marketing services of the sra . rushmore agency for the next two years , the railway operator reported .
the contract covers the possibility of two 12 - month extensions.sra. rushmore has been chosen from the 16 agencies that entered the tender launched by renfe , of which there were four finalists ; among them was tbwa , which was in charge of creatives for the past 3 years .
from this point forward , sra . rushmore will be in charge of campaign design and production .
france telecom fined 63 million for blocking competitors
the competition regulator in france has imposed a fine of 63 million euros on france telecom for anti- competitive behavior in the country 's caribbean regions .
according to the institution , the operator limited landline and mobile phone competition by signing exclusive agreements , service plans , and loyalty programs with consumers outsideof regulation .
with this sanction , the former french monopoly and state - owned company has accumulated more than 560 million euros in fines since hindering its competitors in 1994 .
the penalty imposed yesterday has , in fact , increased because the authority that oversees the competition believes france telecom has committed similar violations in the past and , therefore , is a repeat offender .
application shop
on the other hand , the mobile subsidiary of the french company has followed in the footsteps of other operators , and has opened an on- line application shop , with the aim of increasing revenues outside of telecommunications .
at first , the orange application shop will be active in france and the u.k.
it will not reach other countries , including spain , until 2010 .
playing the champions league has yielded 476.4 million to madrid and barcelona since it was first established
the champions league has become a source of income for clubs since it started in 1992 .
so much so that real madrid and barcelona have collected 476.4 million , making them the third and fifth club to have won the most money in the competition .
the head of the list is manchester united .
the head of the list is manchester united .
winning the uefa champions league doesn 't just earn you glory.it is also a major source of income for the big clubs .
so much so that uefa figures show that the competition has dealt out 5,362.5 million euros to the 105 teams ( 12 of them from spain ) who have participated in the event since the tournament was founded in the 1992 / 1993 season .
real madrid and f.c. barcelona have fared well in this distribution .
the white club has been the third on the continent to have pocketed more money from participating , and the only one , after ac milan , to have won the trophy three times .
the catalan team , the defending champion and last winner of the defunct european cup in 1992 , is fifth in the rankings .
at the top of the list are manchester united and bayern much , two teams that have also made more money by participating in the champions league .
and that is in spite of both of them losing against barcelona .
what more , spain is only the third country to have made more money through the champions league despite having earned more titles than any other country ( five , compared to italy 's four , england 's three , and germany 's two ) .
distribution
this apparent paradox is explained by the complicated payment system the uefa uses .
for this fiscal year the body chaired by michel platini expects to collect 1.090 billion for the champions league .
the uefa dedicates 413.1 million of that money to pay fixed rates : each of the 20 clubs participating in the prequalifying round ( including atletico madrid ) receives 2.1 million .
additionally , those who managed to participate received 3.8 million just for being there , in addition to another 550,000 euros for every game they play .
there are also bonuses for winning ( 800,000 euros ) and for ties ( 400,000 for each team ) .the octa - finalists receive three million each ; the eight quarterfinalists , 3.3 million .
the last four will pocket 4 million each .
the champion will win 9 million , versus the 5.2 million for the runner - up .
so , with the idea of the fixed rates , a club takes home at least 7.1 million , and at most 31.2 million .
barcelona on the other hand pocketed 2.5 million for winning the european super cup in august .
but there are other varying payments to which 337.8 million are allocated .
this money is distributed according to the proportionate value of each television market .
spain is the leader with four places allocated .
last year 's champion got 40 % of the allocated money , 30 % for second place , 20 % for third , 10 % for fourth .
the other part will be paid according to the number of games played this year .
nueva rumasa offers 61 million euros for 29.9 % of sos
yesterday , the nueva rumasa holding company sifted through the details of the bid on shares which led to the acquisition of a stake of between 25 % and 29.9 % in sos .
it is a percentage which doesn 't require them to launch a takeover bid ( opa ) for all of the securities .
specifically , nueva rumasa is offering 1.5025 eurosper share , to be distributed over 10 years , and with a 1 % annual interest rate .
sos shares closed yesterday at 1.85 euros ; so , nueva rumasa 's offer undervalued the company 18 % below the market value .
according to nueva rumasa , the price of 1.50 euros reflects the real value of sos .
the offer is subject to the decision of eight of the 15 advisers .
the jerezano group is giving a period of 15 days for shareholders to express their interest in selling securities .
the cnmv assured that it had not been informed of the offer , despite ruiz mateos ' company saying that it had contacted a regulator .
if this comes to fruition , the payout would reach 611.7 million when the capitalization of sos is at 254.27 million .
meanwhile , sos is restructuring its management .
in an attempt to stay out of possible takeover bids and the legal vagaries of its former managers , the brothers jesus and jaime salazar , it announced the election of maria luisa jordana as the director of the internal audit .
it is a decision which makes her the first woman to hold a senior position in the food company .
this is a newly created position which reports directly to the president of the group .
and not without controversy , as the company is still immersed in the legal battle for the alleged diversion of over 230 million from sos to the salazar brothers ' holding company .
in fact , it 's possible that sos will reveal further diversions of funds in the next few months .
in regards to the salazars ' credit , the former advisers ildefonso ortega and angel fernandez noriega ( representatives of ccm and unicaja ) testified and affirmed that they approved of the diversion of 212 million without knowing where the money was going .
cnmv authorized the exclusion take - over bid submitted by inversora mer
yesterday , the national securities market commission ( cnmv ) approved of the exclusion take - over bid of federico paternina by inversora mer , which was presented last october 9th .
the supervisory agency explained that this operation is authorized after it is understood that its terms adjust to existing standards and that the information packet 's contents , submitted after the amendments introduced last december 2nd , are considered sufficient .
the cnmv has stated that the offer addresses the purchase of 550,008 shares of federico paternina at 7.65 euros a share , representing 8.95 % of its share capital , which consists of 6,142,786 shares that are traded on the stock exchanges in madrid and bilbao .
it also explained that it has frozen 5,592,778 million shares , which will not be traded in any way until the completion of the offer , which specified the price determined by frederico paternina in accordance with current regulations .
new tools for inspecting cars
in these days of storms and accidents , it is not only garages that are making a profit .
every day , thousands of cars that have been in accidents are towed to a garage , where a technician must evaluate the damage and what the repair will cost .
no claim is the same , and calculating the cost of parts and labor can be a long and complicated task .
manually calculating the cost of a repair between 20,000 and 30,000 euros , including parts and labor , may take two or three hours .
however , with the help of the most recent computer tools , it would take a matter of minutes .
this is why almost 100 % of technicians are using this kind of system .
providers of services , claims solutions , and maintenance are working to compile data supplied by manufacturers , and then process it and offer it to customers as a useful tool .
in spain , audatex , of the north american groupo solera , is the industry leader ; 80 % of assessments are done using their products .
the other firms in the sector , competing in the field of data assessment and processing , are gtmotive and eurotax .
working with data supplied by manufacturers is far from simple .
according to eduardo velazquez , the audatex business manager , 63 manufacturers and importers are working in spain , and each of them submits data in a different format .
furthermore , the amount of data to process is increasing to the point where they have released more versions , variants and engines in the last five years than in the previous 15 .
when a new car hits the market , these companies get to work .
it 's very arduous work because you have to catalog each of the thousands of vehicle parts andenter in your price .
in addition , a " smart " graphic is made for each model , where you can " click " on different parts of the car .
if it is a mass - market model , the work can be ready in a week , provided the process goes quickly .
if it 's an uncommon car , it can take up to three or four months.currently , audatex provides comprehensive data for 99.2 % of the cars sold in spain .
among the most exclusive models , information is available for a porsche , but not a ferrari or lamborghini for example .
as for the number of cars in circulation , it is over 99 % .
in order to document and develop the databases , audatex has eight centers scattered around the world ( spain , france , germany , usa , brazil , mexico , china and japan ) , and each of these specializes in a specific brand .
its national headquarters is in alcobendas ( madrid ) .
there , over a hundred technicians ( usually expert mechanics ) work with three computer screens at the same time .
audatex invests 90 million euros a year in developing these databases .
every month , 2.5 million pieces of information are added , and clients receive updates every two days .
developing that huge flow of information lets them give these companies different applications and varied products .
the most common use focuses on maintenance and repair , but depending on the country , there are also tools to manage scrap pieces and to calculate the market and residual value of a car .
the only company with a used car guide available in spain is eurotax .
audatex doesn 't offer one in our country , but it does in the united states .
in view of the products that audatex offers , it is easy to get an idea of the kind of support available to professionals in this sector .
this company offers 10 different tools ; audaplus , being the flagship product , is the standard solution , designed to allow technicians to assess claims .
it includes cars , motorcycles , and light and heavy industrial vehicles .
besides the cost of parts , it includes manufacturer estimates of repair times and paint charts .
this tool charges according to the use , for each appraisal .
the highest cost is 5.75 euros for customers who rarely use it , 10 times a month at most .
then , every insurance company that makes thousands of assessments negotiates their price with audatex .
other products , like audavin , facilitate the complete identification of a vehicle and the equipment that it left the assembly line with , just from its vehicle identification number .
audaglass focuses on the glass parts of a car , and audasubastas is an on- line service open to the professional sector which facilitates the bidding on vehicles calssed as write - offs .
their statistics service is very useful for identifying trends , geo - demographic analysis and knowing standard deviations of makes and models .
you can study , for example , how many models of a particular make have gone to a shop because of malfunctions or how many have been in serious accidents in a certain period .
gt motive is the only spanish company working to develop these kinds of tools .
it sells , among others , the gt estimate , which is again designed for technicians and also provides digital images , access to parts and the manufacturer 's official prices and times .
gt motive is a grupo einsa company , which was founded in 1971 as a provider of automotive services and solutions for assessing damage , malfunctions and maintenance .
the gt appraisal guide is its historical reference product on the market .
they work with 24,000 users in garages , 3,100 technicians and 53 insurance companies .
its turnover has grown by 20 % per year over the past three years , and it brought in 10.8 million euros in 2008 .
early last year , the globalization process started with the installation of an office in paris .
meanwhile , audatex was founded in germany in 1966 and set up shop in spain in 1979 .
according to company sources , 62 % of its business is generated in europe and the rest of the world , and the remaining 37 % in north and south america.they work with more than 900 insurance companies and 33,000 shops , 3,000 of which are in spain .
grupo solera 's ( audatex , sidexa , informex abz , hollander and ims ) worldwide turnover will total 557 million dollars , 3.3 % more than 2008 .
in our country , the company brought in 19.1 million euros , 7.2 % more than last year .
in 2005 , grupo solera was valued at 1 billion dollars on the stock exchange , and its shares are now listed for a total of 2.4 billion dollars .
it is been listed on the nyse since 2007 and is included in standard & poor 's reference index .
damaged car on- line auctions
last october , grupo solera bought autoonline , an internet platform for selling cars , motorcycles , and especially damaged vehicles .
the endeavor entailed an outlay of 59.5 million euros for 85 % of the company 's capital , which would increase in the upcoming year by the remaining 15 % .
the aim of the acquisition was to offer more value - added services to its customers , with the possibility of reaching an immense international market .
this appraisal and buying and selling service is directed exclusively at professionals in the sector , such as insurance companies , technicians , renting agencies , shops , scrap yards , and professional sellers who must register before using it .
this platform was created in germany in 1996 , and it manages more than 650,000 transactions throughout europe , 500,000 of them in germany .
its major markets include spain , greece , poland and turkey .
the site currently has more than 1,500 registered sellers and 4,000 technicians .
it oversees 3,000 listings a day , and around 100 new listings are added every day on the spanish market .
under spanish law , a car whose vehicle identification number has been unregistered cannot be put back into circulation but can be used for undamaged spare parts .
cars with historical value can be registered , even though they have been unregistered , after a lengthy registration process .
a shop 's estimate in four steps
with the audataller tool , audatex guarantees that the user gets an estimate in only 4 steps : identify the vehicle , look for the spare part , create an estimate and generate an estimate .
user friendliness is an essential condition for these systems , especially to convincing older technicians , who , to varying degrees , are usually more reluctant to use new management techniques .
the database includes 1,034 vehicles , 666 of which are cars , 109 sport - utility vehicles , 137 motorcycles , 78 vans and 44 trucks .
naturally , a computer with an internet connection is needed to use it .
after identifying the model to be repaired by its vehicle identification number , an effective graphic image of the model appears , and then the necessary part is selected .
the user can include variables such as the price of labor , surcharges and discounts , and can then print the estimate for the client .
audataller is not an appraisal tool like audaplus , but rather a reference catalog .
the main difference is that the system aimed at garages does not include labor time estimates .
the cost of using this tool in a shop is 350 euros a year , which the customer can finance .
presently , audatex is working to make these images three - dimensional .
this is an innovation mechanics are approving of because it will enable you , for example , to select a door and turn it around to see the inside .

#################################
# History:
#
# version 13m
# * Added --no-norm option for raw or special markup output
# * Fixed SGML unescaping to include all 5 entities in each tokenization
#
# version 13a
# * modified the scoring functions to prevent division-by-zero errors when a system segment is empty
# * affected methods: 'bleu_score' and 'bleu_score_smoothing'
#
# version 13
# * Uses a XML parser to read data (only when extension is .xml)
# * Smoothing of the segment-level BLEU scores, done by default
# * smoothing method similar to that of bleu-1.04.pl (IBM)
# * see comments above the 'bleu_score' method for more details on how the smoothing is computed
# * added a '--no-smoothing' option to simulate old scripts behavior
# * Introduction of the 'brevity-penalty' option, taking one of two values:
# * 'closest' (default) : act as IBM BLEU (taking the closest reference translation length)
# * in case two reference translations are at the same distance, will take the shortest one
# * for more details regarding how the BP is computed, see comments of the 'brevity_penalty_closest' function
# * 'shortest' : act as previous versions of the script (taking shortest reference translation length)
# * Introduction of the 'international-tokenization' option, boolean, disabled by default
# by default (when the option is not provided), uses 11b's tokenization function
# when option specified, uses v12's tokenization function
# * Introduction of a 'Metrics MATR output' flag (option '--metricsMATR')
# when used, creates three files for both BLEU score and NIST score:
# * BLEU-seg.scr and NIST-seg.scr: contain segment-level scores
# * BLEU-doc.scr and NIST-doc.scr: contain document-level scores
# * BLEU-sys.scr and NIST-sys.scr: contain system-level scores
# * SGML parsing
# * script will halt if source, reference and test files don't share the same setid attribute value (used for metricsMATR output)
# * correct segment IDs extracted from the files (was previously using an array, and using the index as a segID for output)
# * detailed output flag (-d) can now be used when running both BLEU and NIST
#
# version 12
# * Text normalization changes:
# * convert entity references (only the entities declared in the DTD)
# * now uses unicode categories
# * tokenize punctuation unless followed AND preceded by digits
# * tokenize symbols
# * UTF-8 handling:
# * files are now read using utf8 mode
# * Added the '-e' command-line option to enclose non-ASCII characters between spaces
#
# version 11b -- text normalization modified:
# * take out the join digit line because it joins digits
# when it shouldn't have
# $norm_text =~ s/(\d)\s+(?=\d)/$1/g; #join digits
#
# version 11a -- corrected output of individual n-gram precision values
#
# version 11 -- bug fixes:
# * make filehandle operate in binary mode to prevent Perl from operating
# (by default in Red Hat 9) in UTF-8
# * fix failure on joining digits
# version 10 -- updated output to include more details of n-gram scoring.
# Defaults to generate both NIST and BLEU scores. Use -b for BLEU
# only, use -n for NIST only
#
# version 09d -- bug fix (for BLEU scoring, ngrams were fixed at 4
# being the max, regardless what was entered on the command line.)
#
# version 09c -- bug fix (During the calculation of ngram information,
# each ngram was being counted only once for each segment. This has
# been fixed so that each ngram is counted correctly in each segment.)
#
# version 09b -- text normalization modified:
# * option flag added to preserve upper case
# * non-ASCII characters left in place.
#
# version 09a -- text normalization modified:
# * " and & converted to "" and &, respectively
# * non-ASCII characters kept together (bug fix)
#
# version 09 -- modified to accommodate sgml tag and attribute
# names revised to conform to default SGML conventions.
#
# version 08 -- modifies the NIST metric in accordance with the
# findings on the 2001 Chinese-English dry run corpus. Also
# incorporates the BLEU metric as an option and supports the
# output of ngram detail.
#
# version 07 -- in response to the MT meeting on 28 Jan 2002 at ISI
# Keep strings of non-ASCII characters together as one word
# (rather than splitting them into one-character words).
# Change length penalty so that translations that are longer than
# the average reference translation are not penalized.
#
# version 06
# Prevent divide-by-zero when a segment has no evaluation N-grams.
# Correct segment index for level 3 debug output.
#
# version 05
# improve diagnostic error messages
#
# version 04
# tag segments
#
# version 03
# add detailed output option (intermediate document and segment scores)
#
# version 02
# accommodation of modified sgml tags and attributes
#
# version 01
# same as bleu version 15, but modified to provide formal score output.

# Default method used to compute the BLEU score, using smoothing.
# Note that the method used can be overridden using the '--no-smoothing' command-line argument
# The smoothing is computed by taking 1 / ( 2^k ), instead of 0, for each precision score whose matching n-gram count is null
# k is 1 for the first 'n' value for which the n-gram match count is null
# For example, if the text contains:
# - one 2-gram match
# - and (consequently) two 1-gram matches
# the n-gram count for each individual precision score would be:
# - n=1 => prec_count = 2 (two unigrams)
# - n=2 => prec_count = 1 (one bigram)
# - n=3 => prec_count = 1/2 (no trigram, taking 'smoothed' value of 1 / ( 2^k ), with k=1)
# - n=4 => prec_count = 1/4 (no fourgram, taking 'smoothed' value of 1 / ( 2^k ), with k=2)

white house urges send nuclear 检员 supervision as soon as possible the closure of the north korea nuclear reactor furnace
the white house , today appealed to send nuclear inspectors as soon as possible , to north korea closed its reactor . the white house is in us president bush and south korean president roh moo-hyun after the telephone conversation , made this appeal to .
white house national security council spokesman 强卓 said that the two leaders " discussed here today the united states and south korea in the north korea nuclear issue , the latest development in cooperation , and hopes that the international atomic energy agency ( iaea ) inspectors is very quickly return to north korea , north korea to stop the operation of the reactor and closed . "
强卓 pointed out that the two presidents also signed yesterday south korea free trade agreement with the united states expressed welcome and will strive to ensure that the congress approved the agreement of the two countries .
experts believe that pyongyang in the past 20 years , the plutonium produced elements , enough to create 12 pieces of nuclear weapons .

land is not privatization is my bottom line calmly

land is not privatization is my bottom line calmly
i think that i am a is not easy to get angry , at least i feel like this .
has the speeches at the forum are rational , mild , rarely have lost their sense of nonsense .
the party central committee has always maintain a high degree of confidence and expectations , no matter how the reform measures are not consistent with the concept of me , i can accept . one of these as " characteristics " .
but if land started privatized ( or the privatization in disguised form ) , then it will lose the existing basis .
ning designed , land and natural resources is the largest social resources .
working people 's land and resources , is a country 's fundamental .
as long as the nature of the land and natural resources , the nature of this country is very difficult to change . once the nature of the land and natural resources has changed , then basically what has changed the way .
i was not a party member , but i clearly remember that i have the following vowed to : " love the motherland , love the people and learn how to make good temper , and is ready to : contributions for the cause of communism ! "
" studying hard , and actively work to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts , and to the cause of communism ! "
and i have sworn in this way , once sang " we are the successors of socialism " of the people . if they are not enough shameless , then we should remember their own once the oath .
if you have betrayed you to his promise , please magnanimous as the starting point , and from " communism " side go away , don't while holding the label deceives the masses while thought about how to sell this sign a good price .
of course , but is willing to all these worries are unnecessary . i hope i can always maintain a rational and calm .
we must remember that " we are the successors of socialism " .

the two times a generation of people 's feelings
earlier , some people have proposed ; with the support of the age of 30 mao ?
changed to 20 years old .
in fact , the people of this age group , did not experienced the mao zedong era , how to put forward this problem is the brain by irrigation water is a congenital cerebral dementia .
in the city , against the scourge of the mao zedong era should be experienced by the people of that era , which suffered the suffering of the people . in other words should be born 1950 -- between 1960 and people .
they were born , parents to join the movement , not the relative love for their children .
they need to nutrition , happened to catch up with three years of natural disasters , the bitter suffering from hunger .
they began to go to school , hit again a few years of the cultural revolution , neglected their studies .
some even life finish their studies they 15 - 17 years of age , education is not yet complete , was forced to give up their studies , responded to the call of the party , to the countryside to support border .
their work is considered the most glorious , voluntary choice of the working class 's dirty and most tiring work .
glorious for a while , a coward his life .
they have to get married , late births from them to have one child .
they have the longest wage is that enterprises stresses diploma , because they have no diploma long be promoted .
they have worked hard to raise the children , completed the basic education for children . the children admitted to university , and catch up with the reform of the education system , the reform of state-owned enterprises double ice cream , tuition fees , they laid off .
they have increased day by day with age , the body of a disease , but unfortunately catch up with the reform of the medical care system , causing the sick body because no treatment do not have the money to pay for medical expenses .
can see : the entire social injustice and merciless down in their possession of this generation .
but in some of these people , but not many opposition to mao zedong to attack mao zedong .
why ?
they are not the slaves of mao zedong , their flesh , the real life of human groups in our society . they went to the countryside to the history of the personal feelings of unemployment , to face up to two social phenomena of the times .
although they neglected their studies in the era of mao zedong , do not have enough to eat , clothes , and some unhealthy phenomena in society there are many 's dissatisfaction , hatred , but from : the spirit of the nation , and morals , the social mood , they still believe that the era of mao zedong .
some net friends ' parents is that this generation of people , you can chat with them .

" injected watermelons . " " banana " and " carton boxes of cancer steamed stuffed buns . "
[ ] at the great wall to the wilderness 2007-07-19 22 : 02 : 57 [ sms ] [ tables ] . i remember the year before last , there is news that hainan 's watermelons were used syringes will inject the chemicals . as a result , a large number of watermelons rotten in hainan province . the large number of melon farmers lost everything .
the central television station later made follow-up reports . the results confirmed that is not the case .
this report was very strange , because to a big watermelons used syringes injections . not only did not any practical significance in terms of workload is also impossible .
last year 's memory is more clear . the media reports said that hainan banana trees of persons with a similar to human disease of cancer , inevitably banana trees died of illness .
as a result , many people have misconceptions about eating bananas to cancer . the result is still the same . bananas in hainan , and do a banana farmers in the price of sorrow , cry again .
the reason why the two reports have a sensation . the reason is due to its direct touched on the most sensitive nerves of the people that the roots , i.e. food safety issue .
if the media said that certain food will endanger the health . well , will certainly snapping it up right on target involved , people generally adopt would rather believe it , is not credible their attitude to a person , eat a few hainan watermelons , bananas and what , after all , it is nothing extraordinary . but for those in the production and sales are concerned , the impact is big .
not long ago , beijing again unexpectedly soared materials on food security is that due to the price of pork . some people even used as stuffing production after the cardboard buns . this is the cardboard buns .
i have heard that it was deeply shocked and felt that the hawkers . they too can study and could think of a way to make a killing methods , and then will this news is widely spread , warned that family and friends on the streets should no longer buy steamed buns .
but suddenly have news yesterday said that the report of the cardboard buns is a false news , the whole thing was invented by one person . and so in wonder at the same time the media at ease what 's going on here ?
himself from a reliable channel to understand the truth is that the beijing tv station channel " transparency " column section of temporary staff zi certain since brought purchase from the market , hamburgers , flour and cardboard boxes , and instructed to health and others will sustain the water to soak into the box , hamburgers , and made into steamed buns .
zi certain used its use dv opportunities since brought home to shoot the production process , then will the editorial , to be broadcast by deception .
now the public security organs according to law criminal suspect zi certain criminal detention and will handle it in accordance with the law .
steamed stuffed buns . after the incident , the government organized relevant departments for investigation , and the market for breakfast in beijing launched an all-round and thorough inspection and ensure the safety of the dining table of the people .
the case was confirmed , the beijing tv station has openly apologize to society , and a profound lesson and strictly investigate and deal with relevant responsible persons , and will further strengthen management , plug up loopholes , and resolutely eliminate false false news reports .
but although cardboard buns is purely for ukraine , but when you dare to go buy the remaining 59 at ease steamed buns is still unknown .
this is also a reflection of the government 's attention to the issue of food safety and rapid action , to a certain extent , shows that the beijing people 's dining table is still relatively safe , steamed buns incident a false alarm , is for everyone to put forward a wake up !
education should be to who is responsible for ?
recently heard friends talked about the experiences of a school , so i can't help feeling .
the event occurred in a private schools in shanghai city - a southwest yuk secondary school .
schools decided to make the best teacher arrangements for three straight from the school 's junior high school classes signing of schooling , and several without senior teaching experience and in the past the poor performance of teaching young teachers to take another few schools entered from the outside or not signing the class to ascend to the school .
the reason is : the students at that time about signed agreed to give up the exam other high , so that schools should , according to the agreement that giving them the best teachers .
several other classes of students . the school 's attitude is : to give young teacher training opportunities .
this cannot help but i feel that what is right and who is responsible for ?
remember many years ago , their own student at a key high school , all his classmates had a mathematics teacher teaching level . no matter whether the immensity of collective signature requirements of schools to replace the teacher .
after school to really give we changed the teacher , because schools to our commitment is to treat students to each student in charge .
ten years to graduate students .
one summer , in the course of the next semester found that all the elective course of arrangement is the theoretical strong courses , while some applications . a door have no arrangement for the courses .
i went to find the remarks of the department , i believe that the curriculum .
the recognition of the department of applied not set the course because of the shortage of teachers . in the past two years , a teacher , can .
i remember that at the time he said : " this is your question , not me .
i traveled afar from shanghai to your school to study because it was your course agency to attract .
if you have no ability to open these courses , don't put them on . otherwise , this is a false advertising is for me and my family irresponsible " .
department head listened to me think i said : i look to how to solve .
may have already too late , because all the courses have been arranged in online registration .
after three weeks , the department talked to me , the gist of the story is told me that his work is to each student , including my responsibility .
he listened to my proposal and the best , an increase of 2 mun applied strong elective course . i hope i can understand .
after the occurrence of the incident , i took a few classes of the department .
he never because i mentioned their views to him i have prejudice , each class is just to give my a.
on the eve of graduation , i listen to his secretary , said , " as each student has the best , but not all the students are grateful to him .
at the graduation ceremony , i , as honorary chairman of the deputies ' speeches , and told the students : each and every one of us to feel grateful to all we have done , because he tried his best to each and every one of us .
i felt that i made the right choice in life to go to school here .
here , i see that there are hidden in the eyes of the department of tears . . . if one day , every chinese education workers and the whole education system can do that for every student , i think that the rapid development of china 's real life that will not be far off .
central ny pronouncement ' real takeoff a day is not far from 4s volleyball tournament
the central region participated in new york on sunday : men 's volleyball tournament , the system of six and a half hours , our team finally won the championship .

coach to new york 's central region four men 's teams ( high squadron , university team , with more than 35 years of age , more than 45 years old ) scatter , restructuring 34 people a team , each equipped with a setter for competition .
the rules of the competition is very interesting , can only back-row attack that within two to three meters down the line , the only one of the setter block , will not change .
so basically , is to test the storm strength and defense to judge the card .
we have a 2 metres of supply , the attack is a strong point is high , the offensive and scores of more than 60 percent of the audience are run by him , an 85 1 meter a single block of the setter stopped the death of many .
a 1 meter 90 deputy to attack , because in the back row , attack errors .
that is , i , 75 1 meters in the main , sometimes surprise attack . the success rate is still can , and the main each hatched markings spiker received .
a total of seven teams . the first round , my team first winning a referee after repeated sentenced to step on the line when our supply attack fouls , greatly affect the morale of our side , immediately crying and lost the match .
however , exports . after everyone is feeling of calm , coordination among the three achieve stability , and thus began .
after the preliminaries , my team three wins three negative , small in the 8th place .
then began to additional . apart from the top teams , two to seven catch to qualify for the team .
my team psychological , tactical stability is to eat , all the way up strong leading in the semi-finals .
semifinal opponents , weak to strong guarding against my arm green and purple , but once detained a heavy received , the degree of joy is their own detained two times a ball of success .
i don't know how many won the final score .
the final match offensive and defensive balance . our side drivers break many ahead of attack .
the last 21 : 24 , taiwan confers match point , each other even sent two ball all called me to take off , 23 , 24 , my team 's supply ran over and said to me , it doesn't matter is only two goals .
the next game and flew to me . i was not bad . the back of the setter received to meet couriers , a heavy detained for resolving the battle .
besides on moral
the freedom for scattered individuals , " said on moral has said many .
in this regard , i have nothing to say .
now i want to say is that on the collective .
often we will encounter need collective occasions .
on these occasions , it is necessary for a collective certain moral .
we often can those who have successfully found a collective some very good moral .
it is not accidental .
because these cause or activities , the need to overcome some of the current difficulties , unite together , excluding those based on factors of belief , i think that is those good moral also played a role not to be neglected .
at the very least , a group of moral criteria are very low together is very difficult to make the event a success , and can be very sure .
it was because , through rational long-term perspective to forward the wisdom of interests is a collective successful must quality .
in fact , collective often receive this all kinds of ways . for instance , a local slang , beliefs , and so on , and moral integrity .
only brandy , brandy at night in the morning , the road of life can orchids everywhere .

propaganda and publicity at tokyo university 's school of architecture
ha ha , is to introduce the alumni at tokyo university 's school of architecture .
the latest first-hand information to add my feelings . if genuine .
wang yuan , secretary , teacher li of the personnel construction technology , scientific research and teaching office of several other teachers participated in the report , i talk about an hour , and then everyone talked about one and a half hours .
after the end of an official report , the teacher zhang ( , assistant to the president of ) the side away from me , and i said to the office behind america to talk about .
he is very courteous , closing the door to tell me that in formal meeting some words not good said , he said , " we can see that i am at the end of the income is not in the future , then told me some on the specific conditions of the income of a teacher 's school of architecture , so i feel at ease .
wang yuan before in the report on the profile of the school of architecture , said the national construction sector only had a total of six key disciplines , a tokyo university , and tsinghua university , tongji 1 , 2 , 1 , in addition to you .
he said that in recent years the country attaches special importance to building energy efficiency , green building and construction technology , southeast university wanted to introduce a teacher in this regard .
he said that they had received more than 20 biographical notes in the direction of application , taiwan , japan , the united states ( it was like i am a ) .
construction institute attached great importance to , and also for these applicants do a conscientious study .
and i understand that compared with some other colleges and universities , school of architecture , tokyo is indeed quite leading with chai 's urban planning should be given more than todai . however , from the architectural design direction , it seems that the southeast university can also accounted for a little bit first ( , um , i had never thought that ) .
wang yuan said that in the past two years , the research institute of architecture is very adequate , belongs to the state institute of 985 key construction projects .
he told me that last year , the top one-time call to todai construction funds for the construction of 10 million , of which 3.5 million was directly used to buy books enrich architectural college professional library ( ha ha , um , i want to zambia for a second , expense !
) . the remaining had almost all been used to buy my professional direction on the experimental equipment .
it is said to have several academicians .
ha ha great~~~ mention in passing that some imported equipment , i feel that seems to be slaughtered .
a survey of indoor air airtight room experimental system is very common in the united states , an estimated 500 dollars will definitely win . as a result , the southeast university spent 50,000 yuan ! ! !
other situation , tokyo is now in many faculties have moved to 9 longhu new school district . but building college firmly behind . that is to enable students to have a good atmosphere of architecture , the old campus , there are also some classic construction can see , the new school district had nothing .
ha ha great~~~ seems because other departments were removed , school of architecture , in addition to a building .
so wang yuan coming straight to tell me that can give me a separate service offices .
very embarrassed , wang yuan said that this time , i didn't . what feeling .
later my side of teacher zhang told me that this is not easy , because the office staff quota is very tense , some old professors have not a single office .
this made it my very uneasy . it seems that is still not understanding the national situation .
in short , the tokyo trip . i had a very pleasant , southeast university school of architecture , the performance of the leadership and relevant teacher is very professional dedication and enthusiasm , left me a very good impression .
i wish the smooth development of tokyo university school of architecture , continue to maintain its leading !

nanjing subway drivers should receive psychological testing as soon as possible
keywords : psychological debug
according to xinhua news agency , july 3 , the nanjing subway lying on the death of the tracks together .
according to the description , " zhu zhengting , aged 22 , is a young mtr drivers , encountered the scene as a nightmare . yesterday , the reporter saw him , he does not seem to have been returned from fear god , sitting on the chair , staring straight , eyes seemed a bit trance-like . "
obviously , the spirit of the young driver received great impact in urgent need of psychological debug . otherwise would be misleading and life .
don't know whether you remember , more than 10 years ago , a certain abandoned in texas chau oil wells and rescued a little girl who rescue workers , have withstood long-term psychological torment , finally choose to commit suicide after painful life .
at that time , although he too simple psychological debug . however , due to the people to pay more attention to the little girl was saved , just ignore the more need psychological testing . finally , could not avoid the tragedy .
likewise , the incident of illegal immigrants at dover strait a few years ago , that the first opened the container , the british police report , it is said that he was frightened fainted .
later , the british side to his psychological testing of more than two months before he returned to normal .
people affected by disasters sexual stimulation , psychological will be greatly hurt , rely on personal strength at this time is very difficult to completely restore , often psychological scars left behind .
due to this kind of injuries outsiders is hard to find , but found no way , many of the victims will be painful for life .
however , in china 's people 's psychological trauma care is not enough , especially the family members concerned or departments is often only after the loss of the best 14.8 suddenly , i think at that time it was already too late .
now , the diversification of the media , we often heard that some shocking incident , many women have harmed the young people , with many young children witnessed with their own parents suffered cruel injuries .
in these young people were rescued , and very rarely heard that they have a psychological treatment , is more from family to family console .
although the victims can feel that they have security . but once the harm it has become a piece will forever be impossible to cure the scars , always be awakened , affecting the lives of the parties .
fortunately , the driver 's leading to his consolation to ease the pressure of his spirit .
after all , the responsibility of the incident is not in the drivers , but when the driver found that the situation has also taken measures to do what he has done , but did not stop the tragedy .
believe that even if they are not the drivers concerned that anyone would be at the scene was shocked at the accident scene .
however , others have no responsibility involved with suicide . although he was startled , along with the development of time will be gradually forgot .
the drivers concerned is not so lucky . he must remember that is likely to record a lifetime .
if he can extricate themselves from the then he went to wan . if there is no way to escape , he would often have been tortured by this kind of shock .
the concept of modern health than in the past , comprehensive , and spiritual health began to be people 's attention .
regrettably , the situation of the human spirit is very disheartening , especially in the cities , people 's mental health is not ideal , the spirit of the majority of people have more or less a hidden perils , and some people encountered problems have sufficient attention .
think about a stage before the lessons of the " yang lau incident " , right , some irresponsible tortured the spirit of the media serve as the target of speculation on the patients , causing very bad social impact .
in the future should be the only way to avoid the occurrence of such incidents . otherwise , our society would become a pathological society .

music and make friends with star fans
keywords : star fans
i have a female friend had never seen before .
i directly to her . i appreciate your !
because you direct express your love .
she liked to taiwan a stall when the male red entertainment programs , but never cover up for this kind of feeling .
this male presided over in jinan , presided over the program , she flew to jinan ; this male presided over to cheung sha easy-acting , she flew to cheung sha .
the man said the book a friend sent to own a bullet in the spring , she told me in a pleasant surprise " that spring is me . "
she also participated in doing this , this star electronic magazine , she told me excitedly each .
i always liked to some of his own frank exchanges between the people of a certain star fans .
these stars can is a movie star . it can be a star player , but also can of course is a great man .
i never think that these friends superficial , and i think they are very cute .
general is the true nature of these people , like is like , not like is not like .
with this kind of people would be very relaxed .
although they are not 100 % consider to your feelings , but at least you know that their emotions ; also know that contact with them , and will have a greater sense of security .
these people are also very frank .
we should know that dare to express their love , is also requires courage .
it is for this reason , many people only quietly like one 's entire life , or he will have looked down on those brazenly said that is so fans .
frank is , i think that one of the biggest advantages to his friends and frank and sincere .
but this is actually very difficult .
can like a star , and also to prove his selfless heart 's content .
some of my friends are some fans of the stars .
sometimes in order to see this star side , their own can endure hardship can sacrifice , give cards pinched his hand in hand , according to the camera , his mouth is still yelled .
can be said that they are very stupid , naive , but could not return to love the people need selfless .
because the real love , and insist on their own since the object of others is too much , too much , so this selfless seemed a bit precious .
so , when talking about the people , said that like the star is so and so , if there is a said that i never worship of others .
ha , ha , ha , that more cautious .
zhang xiaohui qiren
keywords : zhang xiaohui
chance to see the " kang xi a long period to come . " the star of the film is zhang xiaohui .
wants is to promote " romance . " at that time .
see " romance . " at that time i was addicted to the days of sex films .
at that time i felt very strange , pornographic films could be so beautiful , and sometimes it is very interesting , called sex films .
i think in fact , it is not the sex films , but also covers many countries .
the first to come in contact with south korea and japan .
later i saw many third world countries , as well as latin america , and europe some , but rarely see hollywood and the french films .
i never willing to delete the computer 's two . one is the " youth " . one is that " romance . "
" romance " half of the period before it was quite good . everyone is new , played very hard , and the director are measured .
the latter was abnormal , i fully accept .
in fact , i want to say is , zhang xiaohui in program said that her boyfriend cover almost all the countries in the world . apart from africa .
at present , there are four of her boyfriend .
most people are afraid of this issue could not accept that will say this person flouters .
but the problem is the key . she said that these problems are very frank , without the slightest uncomfortable expression to people .
she also said that his own view of love .
for example , the two sides economic independence .
i estimate that character should be independent , their own control their own destiny .
because i know that the people in love , love is the live is that since selfish , how will allow their own love also accept other people 's love .
according to my experience as well as assumptions , presumably zhang xiao hui love has a simple wistful romances portrayed , she must is a typical love between older sister and younger brother .
love between older sister and younger brother and sister is can accept everything , including also has a few younger brother , and at the same time , the younger brother can unlimited attachment sister , because each other 's charm , maternal feelings , but may not mind whether it is the only , and so on .
but the statement from zhang xiaohui , i have found that she is actually a very understand life .
for example , she are keen to travel to exaggerating the point in droves .
so i also have reason to believe that her life is very exciting .
if it was to , i am afraid that it could not accept such a phenomenon .
on better than i am now also accepted many people . in fact , this with tolerance is not tolerance is not much , but only to their own thought that the roots and tendons , there is no absolute love or do not love .
these people , for example , a passer-by , friends , and zhang ziyi , b , c , and sister lotus friends .
look at other people 's life , look at the passengers themselves , their own life to others , but isn't it the main character ?
this is like . although i am not in lakes , but the jianghu has been my legend .
people must have the spirit of entertainment

people alive is a very tired . so , it should be a bit entertainment .
or mocked himself , or look at others joke about other people 's gossip .
for example , went to the ends of the eight trigrams " version of the " entertainment and relax .
inside , speak out freely . but , of course you should have the capability of differentiating between right and wrong , because all kinds of " black " .
" the findings of the " say what you want is that you don't know what is said himself , but you have to understand what you see .
small and/or said that tsai kang yong " scholar . "
if i have also considered , then that is of that type of reading a book , but has not thoroughly type .
fortunately , i always have self-knowledge .
but simply in reading this book , i have their own want to get some things .
also , it happened that i also like the blind , they were reading to think about , but also a lot of sense . there are many things that the seashore .
thus , gradually formed the habit of some habits , for example , tell yourself to their cruel to others is a little better .
when we encounter problems . first , from his own body to find the reasons ;
treat things rational , treat friendship sentimental point ;
have to keep a low profile , things low key .
but you know that people are not so good , the association selfish , always consider their own gains and losses , the association the rational , emotional into a mess , the sensitive time when the tmd rational to life .
that is , to treat their own choice will not want to regret .
done is done , the plant is recognized .
people want to do so many useless .
fortunately , he himself is not really like to face up to the board , improve their reading personal price . he is also a vulgar .
but some people is different because not angry , always rational .
or , for example , their own sense of values is particularly strong .
once the trust of the people , so all i felt that it was good .
even if there is also willing to tolerance .
although is not the kind of " is put to friends thought of category .
but also guard against friends rather strict .
i don't understand . now , why do so many people then trust the words and deeds of the newspaper .
also , or in their hearts . now , the report also that kind of sacred nature as before .
but in this world , i don't understand the , uh , over the matter .
a joke .
a just stared openmouthed for itself .

earlier , read in the newspaper to song dandan new published a book called " the depths of happiness . "
really want to read .
because i think as a in this age of women with such a professional and experienced the changes in the family and the cause , and after that , her own , what is the view of life ?
as expected , do not disappoint people , after reading it , have feelings about two points : first , i was ) to see other people 's life , you can also see their shadows ; second , was also very moved . all these are the details of family .
why was ) ?
the book , song dandan wrote , " i ignore an important principle in life : to give than to accept more happiness .
i always busy , busy given to their own happiness .
i fuwa also don't know how to accept , i ignore his people , that is , ignore the happiness that rights of others . "
i discovered that i have always enjoyed this kind of happiness , perhaps we should pay attention to some .
if a person can calmly facing their own past , will all these demonstrated in front of everybody . this is a necessary courage .
there , including her first love , she and her british the failure of the depth of the marriage as well as his own anatomy , and his son 's family .
the book also is something that , because as a publishing house , presumably originally strongly advocated that she came to focus on " i love my home " and " ambush " as well as a series of short and zhao benshan 's case .
but , presumably her persist , zhao benshan is only in the last raised . as for " ambush " and " i love my home " almost did not mention .
the book is filled with the life of a woman , aged 40 , love , family and the family rituals , warm and moved .

a week on vacation , also has not idle .
to institute a will and should be prepared to go to the meeting next week the texts of the materials and meeting .
this holiday will be very busy .
if no accidents occurred , according to the plan , three to four or five cities to open .
life was suddenly filled with much of the content of the same kind of different types , almost forget that in the past , how did the holidays .
it seems that it did not idle .
but it is still a very long time can own dominant , and it seems less time this year .
good or bad ?
busy , will add some , but if they have no effect no harvest . this busy discounted meaning .
but , as if life cannot completely calculated in accordance with the results , life is used to slowly , the practical safe and enrich the joy is also a kind of harvest . although the harvest is sometimes is unable to use the evaluation standard for the community .
everybody needs to social values and self values . if the two cannot be concurrently , we will ?
marxist teaching our social values , ideas to make contributions to society . however , the fact is that a healthy , sound social , should fully respect the aspirations and value of individuals choose , and to create conditions for the realization of personal worth .
of these , more and more thought suddenly discovered that the marxist principles is really very effective .
the reason is that such a principle , but really to real life , people sometimes will still puzzled .
even if the realization of their own value do not hinder social values , but we have every reality , will also meet in the real self realization and to evaluate in disregard of society ?
or , our sense of self-esteem , can leave from society ?
it seems difficult .
therefore , every one of us to do a good job of an ordinary person , and avoid the pursuit of unusual and beyond ; if it has squandered a life association since .
this is probably the aspect of human society .
vacation came . it is easy to some extent .
at least , can have time to see little discs , can play a recently relaxed .
casual , the work still needs to do , life is still photos .
xi'an again next week for a meeting .
a although i have never been to , but because some " prejudice " doesn't seem like very much to the city .
he hoped that the visit can change i have the impression that 吼吼 in this city .

we have become cool , mutual concern .
i saw this generation people are many children , but i only elder sister and brother and younger brother , thus brother-in-law presence is extremely important .
we are suffering the child was born , very small will participate in the many kinds of domestic labor , although i have been to a big , like men , we want to do is like a cream of work , but has never been his father 's consent .
i have the mysterious c."(2002) illnesses , but not too serious , but do the housework , absent-minded since it is hard to avoid .
for example , his father to allow me to wipe the chimneys in the old house point nai , i he climbed onto the roof of the operation .
chimneys is wipe good . but when the house was dew . the reason is i have housing tiles foot was broken .
once again , for example , his father that i changed light bulbs , that kind of old incandescent lights .
and i climbed to arriving stools , dispose of the light bulbs but fell into the hands of concrete crushed .
such examples . so when moving his brother-in-law , these chop suey little work , of course was he had contracted , very beautiful , but do not need to pay any labor costs .
i was happy to see the hide in a corner of those brick 闲书 .
later , we have long become two trees , two trees is enough to support a family tree in xiamen .
and his father but inevitable dwarfing . in wheelchairs , he became a punta quietly under sanctuary shrubs .
i was stunned when an , the 50-year-old brother-in-law suddenly contracted serious illness . on the surface to green and luxuriant big tree actually incredible is approaching that the fear of death .
people in the sunlight away heedlessly dizziness summer , the operating room in the beijing union medical college hospital , the doctor responds : no surgery value .
the two months .
at that moment , i suddenly hit by stray bullets , the soul of a shell , like fools startled the moment there .
i started to mysterious c."(2002) , saw the old courtyard at home , and the younger brother-in-law busy in the yard .

we often is the answer , like two trees have life but unable to dialogue .
this is the trees two trees , the wind and rain of experience that we have been able to calm in the face of all kinds of hardships and still needs and i explain what ?
it doesn't seem that necessary .
because you understand : you leave , sister , and older sister and your children , and also the largest home , they can only rely on the support of the tree me alone .

power source , and who is responsible for , is decided to those elected how the fundamental factors in their work .
some people have doubts about the " democratic " look more like a " democratic show . "

the land was not privatization is the bottom line of my calmly

the land was not privatization is the bottom line of my calmly
i think it is not easy to get angry people , at least i feel like this .
has the speeches at the forum are rational , mild , rarely have the time lost rational nonsense .
it also has the confidence of the party central committee and ardent expectations . no matter how the reform measures do not comply with the concept of me , i can accept . one of these as " characteristics " .
but if land started privatized ( or the privatization in disguised form ) , then it will lose the basis for their existence .
ning lost 1000 armed forces is not only small patch of land and natural resources , is the largest social resources .
working people 's land and resources , is a country 's fundamental .
as long as the nature of the land and natural resources is not changed , the nature of this country is certainly not easy to change , once the nature of the land and natural resources has changed , and so basically , what has changed .
i am not a communist party member , but i clearly remember that i have the following vowed to : " love the motherland , love the people and learn how to make good temper , and is ready to : contributions for the cause of communism ! "
" study hard , work actively to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts , and to the cause of communism ! "
like me , was sworn in , once sang " ours is a socialist people . if his successor " is not enough shameless , then we should remember his oath .
if you have betrayed you own vows to please the magnanimous up , go away from " communism " side , don't while holding label deceives the masses , while thought about how to sell them at good prices this sign .
of course , but is willing to all these worries are unnecessary . i hope i can always maintain a rational and calm .
we must remember that " we are the successors of socialism . "
if no ban can then ?
a generation , two of the feelings of the times
earlier , some people have proposed ; 30 years old are crowded with mao ?
it was later changed to the age of 20 .
in fact , the people of this age group , did not have experienced the mao zedong era , how to put the issue is brain was irrigation water is a congenital cerebral dementia .
in the city , against the scourge of the mao zedong era should be experienced by the people of that era is suffering in the suffering of the people , which is to say it should be -- between 1960 was born in 1950 .
they were born , her parents to join the movement , not the relative love for their children .
they need to nutrition , happened to catch up with three years of natural disasters , the bitter suffering from hunger .
they began to go to school , hit again neglected their studies for a few years of the cultural revolution .

can see : the unfairness of the entire society , all the merciless down the generations of people in them .
however , in some of these people , but not many opposition to mao zedong to attack the mao zedong .
why ?
they are not being a lackey of mao zedong , their flesh , the real life of human groups in our society . they went to the countryside to laid-off and unemployed the history of his personal experience , to face up to two social phenomena of the times .
although they neglected their studies in the era of mao zedong , do not have enough to eat , clothes , and some unhealthy phenomena in society there are many dissatisfaction , or even hatred , but from : national spirit , morals , and social atmosphere , they still believe that the era of mao zedong .

" injected watermelons . " cancer banana " and " cardboard buns . "
[ ] at the great wall to the wilderness 2007-07-19 22 : 02 : 57 [ sms ] [ tables ] . i remember the year before last , a news saying that hainan 's watermelons were used syringes will inject the chemicals . as a result , a large number of watermelons in hainan , the large number of melon black smoke .
central television later made follow-up reports . the results confirmed that is not the case .
this report was very strange , because to a big watermelon use syringe injections . not only did not any practical significance in terms of workload is also impossible .
last year 's memory is more clear , and there were media reports that hainan banana trees persons with a similar to the disease human cancer , inevitably banana trees died of illness .
the result was a lot of people misunderstand to eating bananas to cancer . the result is still the same . bananas in hainan , and do a big drop in the price of sorrow , complaining repeatedly to banana farmers .
the above two reports the reason it has produced a sensation . the reason is due to its direct touched on the most sensitive nerves of the people that the roots , i.e. food safety issue .
if the media said that certain food will endanger the health . well , will certainly snapping it up right for the target of involved . people generally adopt would rather believe it , not credible their attitude , a person is concerned , eat several hainan watermelons , bananas and what , after all , it is nothing extraordinary , but the production and sale of those products are concerned , the impact is big .
not long ago , beijing again unexpectedly soared materials on food security , that is , because the price of pork . some people even used as stuffing production after the cardboard buns . this is the cardboard buns .
i have heard that it was deeply shocked and felt that the hawkers . they too can research , could think about such a killing methods , and then will this news is widely spread , warned that family and friends should no longer buy buns on the streets .
however , another news suddenly yesterday said that the report of the cardboard buns is a fake news , the entire matter is invented by one person . and so in at ease puzzled the media at the same time , how is today ?
himself from a reliable channel to understand the truth is that life in the beijing tv station channel " transparency " of a certain group of temporary staff columns zi since brought to purchase from the market , hamburgers , flour and cardboard boxes and incite others boxes of health through the water , soak arm into hamburgers to make dumplings .
zi since a certain used with dv opportunities brought home to shoot the production process . it will then its editorial , to be broadcast by deception .
now the public security organs , have a wealth of the criminal suspects according to law criminal detention , will handle it in accordance with the law .
steamed stuffed buns . after the incident , the government organized relevant departments launched investigations and mounted on beijing 's breakfast market all-round and thorough inspection and ensure the safety of the people of the dining table .
the incident was confirmed , the beijing tv station has openly apologize to the community , a profound lesson and strictly investigate and deal with relevant responsible , and will further strengthen management , plug up loopholes , and resolutely eliminate false untrue news reports .
but although the cardboard buns are purely for ukraine , but when you dare to go buy the remaining 59 at ease steamed buns is still unknown .
the incident also reflects from one government attaches importance to the issue of food security and swift action , to a certain extent , shows that the beijing people 's dining table is still relatively safe , steamed buns incident a false alarm , is for everyone to raise a wake up !
education should be responsible for whom ?
recently heard friends talking about a school in the news , i cannot help feeling .
the event occurred in a private schools in shanghai , one of the southwest yuk secondary school .
schools decided to make the best teacher arrangements for three straight from the school 's contract in junior high school classes to heaven , but several without senior teaching experience and poor performance in the past teaching young teachers to take another several schools entered from the outside or not signing the class to ascend to the school .
the reason is : the students signed about agreed to give up exam other high at the time , so according to the agreement , the schools must ensure that giving them the best teacher .
several other classes for students . the school 's attitude is : to give young teacher training opportunities .
this cannot help but sigh that education me what is right and who is responsible for ?
remember many years ago , their student at a key high school , all his classmates had a mathematics teacher teaching level . no matter whether the immensity of collective sign their schools to replace the teacher .
after the school to really give we changed the teacher , because schools to our commitment is to each students equally to each student .
ten years of graduate students came to the united states .
one summer , the courses in the next term election , i discovered that all the elective course arrangements for faculty are theoretical strong courses , while some applications . one of the programmes are not arrangements .
i went to find his head of department , i believe that the curriculum .
the recognition of the department of applied not set the course because of insufficient teachers , after two years as a teacher , can .
i remember that at the time he said : " this is your question , not me .
i traveled afar from shanghai to your school to study . it is because you are attracted by the course of employment .
if you have no ability to the creation of these courses is not to introduce them . otherwise , this is false advertising is for me and my family irresponsible " .
department head listening to me think i said : i see can how to resolve .
may have already too late , because all the courses have been arranged in online registration .
after three weeks , talked to me , head of the gist of the story is told me that his work is to each student , including my responsibility .
he listened to my proposal is the best , an increase of two mun applied strong elective courses , i hope i can understand .
after the occurrence of the incident , i took a few classes , director of the department .
he never because i mention the views on him and i have prejudice , each class is just to give my a.
on the eve of graduation , i listen to his secretary , said , " every student has the best , but not every student has grateful to him .
at the graduation ceremony , i , as honorary students to the deputies ' speeches , told the department head : we all have to thank him from the bottom of their hearts to all we have done , because he tried his best to each and every one of us .
i felt that i made the right choice in life to go to school here .
here , i see that there are hidden in the eyes of the department of tears . . . if one day , every chinese education workers and the whole education system can be responsible for every student , i want to really take days that china will not be far off .

the rules of the competition is very interesting , can only back-row attack can not lobber within two to three meters , only one of the setter block , will not change .
so basically is testing the strength of storming and defense to judge the card .
our team had a 2 metres of supply , the attack is a strong point is high points , more than 60 percent of the overall offensive and scores of everything by him , a 1 meter a single block blocking the setter 85 died .
a 1 90 meters in the back row , vice attack , attack errors .
that is , i , the main 1 75 meters , sometimes sneak attack . the success rate is still can master the other girls'strong spiker he received .
a total of seven teams , the first match , my team first winning a referee after repeated sentenced to step on the line when our side 41.65 offensive fouls , greatly affect the morale of our side , immediately crying lost 3 .
however , after losing everyone psychological also quiet support is also among the three achieve stability , began .
after the preliminaries , my team three winning , small in the 8th place .
then began to additional competition , apart from the top teams , two to seven catch to qualify for the team .
my team psychological , tactical stability is to eat up strong , leading the way in the semi-finals .
semifinal opponents , guarding against strong and weak , winning my arm green and purple , but once took a heavy detained , the degree of joy is the success of their detained two times the players .
did not know how many would win the final score .

in this regard , i have nothing to say .
now i want to say is on the collective .
often we will encounter requires a collective occasions .
on these occasions , it is necessary for a collective certain moral .
we often can those who have successfully found a collective some very good moral .
it is not accidental .
because these undertakings or activities are concerned , it is necessary to overcome some of the current difficulties , unite together , excluding those based on factors of belief , i think that is those good moral also played a role not to be neglected .
at the very least , a group of moral criteria are very low , people are together is very difficult to make the event a success , and can be very sure .
perhaps this is because , to the long-term perspective through rational to forward the wisdom of interests is a collective successful must quality .
in fact , collective often receive this all kinds of ways . for instance , a local slang , beliefs , and so on , and moral integrity .
only brandy , brandy at night in the morning , the road of life can orchids everywhere .

propaganda and publicity at tokyo university institute of architecture
ha ha , but also to the tokyo university alumni on the situation of the school of architecture .
the latest first-hand information to add my feelings . if genuine .
wang yuan , secretary of the elderly , the teacher li also have personnel construction technology , scientific research and teaching office of several other teachers participated in the report , i talk about an hour , and then everyone talked about one and a half hours .
after the final report , teacher zhang ( , assistant to the president ) off to the side of me , and i said to the office of behind america to talk about .
he was very courteous , closing the door to tell me that in formal meeting , some words not good said , he said , " we can see that i am at the end of the income for the future is not so tell me some on the specific conditions of the income of a teacher 's school of architecture , so i feel at ease .
wang briefed the premier on the report before the profile of school of architecture , said the national construction sector only had a total of six key disciplines , with 2 at tokyo university , and tsinghua university , tongji 1 , 2 , 1 , in addition to you .
he said that in recent years , the country attaches special importance to building energy saving , green building and construction technology , southeast university wanted to introduce a science teacher in this regard .
he said that they had received more than 20 applications for biographical notes in the direction and a domestic , japan , the united states ( it was like me a ) .
institute of architecture attached great importance to , and also to these applicants made conscientious observation .
and i understand that compared with some other colleges and universities , southeast university institute of architecture is indeed quite leading with chai 's urban planning should be given more than tokyo university . however , from the architectural design direction , it seems that the southeast university can also accounted for a little bit first ( , um , i had never thought that ) .
wang said that in the past two years , the dean of school of architecture , scientific research is very adequate , belongs to the state 985 engineering institute of the building .
he told me that last year , a one-time call to tokyo university architecture above 10 million construction funds , 3.5 million of them were directly used to buy books enrich architectural institute libraries ( ha ha , um , i want to zambia in a second , expense !
) . the remaining had almost all been used for the purchase of my professional direction experimental equipment .
it is said to have several academicians .
ha ha great~~~ mentioned in passing that point , i feel that it seems that some of the equipment imports were slaughtered .
a survey indoor room air confined the experimental system is very common in the united states , an estimated 500 dollars will definitely win . as a result , the southeast university spent 50,000 yuan ! ! !
other situation . now many of tokyo university faculties have moved to 9 longhu went to the new campus . but building college firmly left-behind , that is to enable students to have a good atmosphere of architecture , the old school district , some classic buildings can see , had nothing new campus .
ha ha great~~~ seemed because other departments were removed , school of architecture also want a house .
so wang yuan , coming straight to tell me , then i can give my allocation office alone .
very embarrassed , wang said this when the premier , i didn't . what feeling .
later my side of teacher zhang told me that this is no easy , because the office staff quota is very tense , some old professors have no separate office .
this made it my very uneasy , it seems that is not understanding the national situation .
in short , right ? this trip to tokyo university . i had a very pleasant , southeast university institute of architecture of the performance of the leadership and relevant teacher is very professional dedication and enthusiasm , left me a very good impression .
i wish the smooth development of tokyo university school of architecture , continue to maintain the leading !

nanjing subway drivers should receive psychological testing as soon as possible
keyword : psychological debug
according to xinhua news agency , july 3 , nanjing subway lying on the death of the tracks together .
according to the description , " zhu zhengting , aged 22 , is a young mtr drivers , encountered the scene as a nightmare . yesterday , the reporter saw him , he does not seem to have been from fear calmer , sits in a chair , staring straight , eyes seemed a bit trance-like . "
obviously , this young driver of the great impact of spirit , was in urgent need of a psychological debug . otherwise , misleading the life .
don't know whether you remember , more than 10 years ago , a certain abandoned in texas , chau wells and rescued a little girl who rescue personnel , after experiencing the long-term psychological torment , finally choose to commit suicide after painful life .
at that time , although he too simple psychological debug . however , due to the people to pay more attention to the little girl was rescued , just ignore the need to psychological debug . finally , could not avoid the tragedy .
similarly , the incident of illegal immigrants at dover strait . a few years ago , the first british police opened the containers , it is said that he was frightened fainted .
later , the british side had a psychological testing of more than two months before he returned to normal .
people affected by disasters in sexual stimulation , psychological will greatly hurt , rely on personal strength at this time is very difficult to completely restore , often leaving psychological wounds .
due to such injuries are hard to be found by outsiders , but found that had no way out , many of the victims will be painful for life .
however , in china 's people 's psychological trauma care is not enough , especially the family of the person or departments is often only after the loss of the best 14.8 suddenly , i think at that time it was already too late .
now , the diversification of the media , we often heard that some shocking incident , many women have harmed , young people have witnessed many young children suffer cruel harm their own parents .
in these young people were rescued , and very rarely heard that they have a psychological treatment , more is conducted by the family affection console .
although the victims can feel that they have security . but once the harm it has become a piece of it will forever be impossible to cure the scars , always be awakened , affect the life of the parties .
fortunately , the driver 's leading to soothe him , he was also able to ease the pressure of his spirit .
after all , the responsibility of the accident is not on drivers , but the driver found that the situation has also taken steps to do what he has done , but did not stop the tragedy .
believe that even if they are not concerned drivers , anyone would be at the scene was shocked at the accident scene .
however , others have no responsibility involved with suicide , despite being shocked , can the development of the time will gradually faded from memory .
the drivers concerned is not so lucky . he must remember that is likely to remember all my life .
if he can extricate themselves from the then shipped . if there is no way to escape from him , he would often was so startled by torture .
the concept of modern health comprehensive more than in the past , mental health began to be people 's attention .
regrettably , the situation of the human spirit is very disheartening , especially in the cities , people 's mental health is not ideal , most people have hidden dangers in the spirit of more or less , while some people encountered problems have sufficient attention .
think about a stage before the " yang lau incident " lessons ? some irresponsible media to the torment of a mental problem patients treated as objects of speculation , causing very bad influence in society .
should avoid the occurrence of such incidents in the future it . otherwise , our society would become a pathological society .

music and make friends with star fans
keyword : star fans
i have a female friends had never seen before .
i directly to her . i appreciate your !
because you direct express your love .
she likes to a stall in taiwan when the male red entertainment programs , but also to these feelings never cover up .
this male presided over in jinan , presided over the program , she flew to jinan ; this male presided over to cheung sha easy-acting , she flew to cheung sha .
the book was the only male said that a friend sent to own a no bullets slingshots . she told me in a pleasant surprise " that sling is me . "
she also participate in doing this , this star electronic magazine , she told me excitedly each .
i have been quite like some of his own frank exchanges between the people of a certain star fans .
these stars can is a movie star . it can be a player , but also can of course is a great man .
i never think that these friends superficial , i feel they are very cute .
these people are really temperament , like is like , and does not like to do not like .
contact with these people would be very relaxed .
although they are not 100 % consider to your feelings , but at least you know that their emotions ; also know that contact with them , and will have a greater sense of security .
these people are also very frank .
we should know that dare to express their love , is also requires courage .
it is for this reason that many people only quietly like an entire life , or he will have looked down on those brazenly said that is so fans .
frank is , i think that one of the biggest advantages , frank , and sincere friend of his own .
but this is actually very difficult .
can like a star , has proved that his selfless heart 's content .
some of my friends are some stars fans .
sometimes in order to see this star side , they are able to endure hardship , can sacrifice , live frugally , playing cards to give his left hand in hand , according to the camera , his mouth is also shouted .
can be said that they are very stupid , naive , but could not return to love a person is need selfless .
because the real love , insist on their own since the object of others is too much , too much , so this selfless seemed a bit precious .
therefore , when talking about the people , and said that he liked the star is so and so , if there is a said that i never worship of others .
ha , ha , ha , so careful .
zhang xiaohui qiren
keyword : zhang xiaohui
chance to see not seen for a period of " kang xi . " the main character is zhang xiaohui .
wants is to promote a " romance . " at that time .
see " romance . " at that time , i was addicted to the days of sex films .
at that time i felt very strange , pornographic films could be so beautiful , and sometimes it is very interesting , called sex films .
i think in fact , it is not the sex films , but also covers many countries .
the first to come in contact with south korea and japan .
later , as well as latin america look at many third world countries , some european , but rarely see hollywood and the french film .
i did not willing to delete the computer 's two . one is the " youth " . one is that " romance . "
" the first half of romance " is quite good , everyone is new , played very hard , and the director are measured .
the latter was abnormal , i fully accept .
in fact , i want to say is , zhang xiaohui in program that her boyfriend , almost cover all countries in the world . apart from africa .
at present , there are four of her boyfriend .
most people fear that this issue could not accept that will say this person flouters .
however , the crucial issue is that , she said that these problems are very frank , not the slightest uncomfortable expression to people .
she also said that their love .
for example , the two sides economic independence .
i estimate that character should also independence , their control their own destiny .
because i know that the people in love , love is the living is naturally selfish , and how will allow their love also accept others ' love .
according to my experience as well as assumptions , presumably zhang xiao hui love has a simple wistful romances portrayed , she must is a typical love between older sister and younger brother .
love between older sister and younger brother and sister is can accept everything , including also has a few younger brother , and at the same time , the infinite attachment to his younger brother and sister , because each other 's charm , and maternal instinct , but may not mind whether it is the only , and so on .
but the statement from zhang xiaohui , i have found that she is actually a very understand life .
for example , she are keen to travel to exaggerating the point in droves .
therefore , i have every reason to believe that her life is very exciting .
if it was to , i am afraid that it could not accept such a phenomenon .
i , now i have accepted many people with tolerance is not tolerance , in fact , this is not a relationship , but only to their own thought that the roots and tendons , there is no absolute love or not love .
these people such as bystanders (a) , (b) , zhang ziyi , his good friend c , and sister lotus .
look at other people 's life , he is watching and visitors to his own life , for other people , then isn't it the main character ?
this is like . although i am not in lakes , but the jianghu has been my legend .
people must have the spirit of entertainment
keyword : entertainment spirit
people alive is a very tired . so , it should be a little entertainment .
or mocked himself , or look at others joke about other people 's gossip .
for example , went to the " entertainment " version of the ends of the bagua to relax .
inside , speak out freely , but of course you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong , because all kinds of " black " .
" the findings of the " say what you want is that you don't know what is said himself , but you have to understand what you see .
small and/or said that tsai kang yong " scholar . "
if i can , well , that is of that type of reading a book , but has not thoroughly type .
fortunately , i always have self-knowledge .
however , simply in reading this book , i have some of the things they want .
also , it happened that i also like the blind , they were reading to think about , but also many things in common . there are many things that the seashore .
therefore , it is gradually formed the habit of some habits , for example , tell yourself to more voracious better for others .
every thing problems . first , from their own bodies to find the reasons ;
treat things rational , treat friendship sentimental point ;
have to keep a low profile , things to a low profile .
but you know that were not so good , association , selfish , and always consider their own gains and losses , association the rational , emotional into a mess , the time when the emotional tmd rational to life .
that is , in dealing with its own choice will not want to regret it .
do they do it , planted also would admit it .
people want to do so many useless .
fortunately , he himself is not really like to board a face , improve their reading personal price , is also a vulgar .
but some people is different because not angry , always rational .
or , for example , their own sense of values is particularly strong .
once the trust a person , so all i felt that it was good .
even if there is insufficient , is also willing to tolerance .
though it was not the kind of " is put ourselves in friends thought of category .
but because of his friends are quite strict checks .
i don't understand . now , why do so many people are so trust the words and deeds of the newspaper .
also , or in their hearts , and now the same as before , the report said that kind of sacred nature .
but in this world , i do not understand the , uh , over the matter .
a joke .
cuff his ear for itself .

busy holiday
keyword : holidays busy
nearly a week on vacation , also has not idle .
to institute a will and should be prepared to go to the meeting next week materials and meeting the texts .

if no accidents occurred , according to the plan , three out of the meeting , 45 cities to go .
life was suddenly filled with many of its contents . similar , different types of almost forget that in the past , how did the holidays .
it seems that it did not idle .
is it a very long time can own spending , while it seems less time this year .
good or bad ?
busy , will enrich some , but if they have no effect no harvest , the significance of this busy on discounted .
but , as if life cannot completely calculated in accordance with the results , life is used to slowly , practical feel safe and enrich the joy is also a kind of harvest . although this harvest sometimes cannot be used to measure the evaluation standard for the community .
everybody needs to social values and self values . if the two can't be chinese , and we will ?
marxist teaching . we must take social values , ideas to make contributions to society . however , the fact is that a healthy , sound social , should fully respect the aspirations and value of the individual choice , and create conditions for the realization of the value of the individual .
of these , more and more thought suddenly discovered that the marxist principles also really very effective .
the reason is indeed such a reasoning , but really to real life , people sometimes will still puzzled .
even if the realization of their own value do not hinder social values , but we have every reality , will also meet in the realization of their true selves and , in disregard of society ?
or , our sense of self-esteem , can leave the social comments off ?
it seems difficult .
so we all strive to do a good job in an ordinary person , they also avoid the pursuit of unusual and beyond ; if it has squandered a life , and also association since .
this is probably the social side .
vacation came . it is easy to some extent .
at least , can have time to see little discs , can play a recently relaxed .
casual , the work still needs to do , life is still photos .

the material and the heart is still not the theory on the same day !
our vehicle traffic heading for the high speed in busan .
the minister mei-shu drive cars , i did not have any words for passengers .
after all , he does not understand chinese don't understand english , but i have only a few words of a few sentences far from perfect english .
quite boring watching computer , beating the keyboard , in addition to the sound of the keyboard inside the car is miss south korea pleasant gprs navigation , all too some quiet voice .

silence is not like my personality .
unexpected was actually the only thing that i feel affinity was surprisingly english .
well , in addition to the circle everywhere i produce radioactive dizziness . the other is any function .
i think that south korea would not have to produce kompasu .
because the market is no need .
seoul is very clean , and thoroughly clean , meticulously clean .
but unfortunately , the few days stay in seoul , apart from the work place and department stores , which also did not have enough time to go to all the impression is only limited to wait along the road .
fortunately , everything is still beautiful !
south korea is very traditional courtesy . the book 's smile , seriously listen , graceful and quiet .
all it can to concerns are beautiful surface , traditional customs , and the ancient architectural style , with apprehension civilized .
this is a hypocritical ?
still hypocritical . okay , at least , everyone etiquette that !
ugly things could not see perhaps will think that does not exist .
south korea 's catering great !
but i don't like it , do not understand why goes to the frustrating , but only will kimchee various styles and cold platter , of course , seaweed indispensable .
switch to thinking , the south korean people eating research is still very serious , and can tell the kimchee pickled on the ground floor of ground or different , long and short different level of accuracy can go to .
this shows that the south korean people from the angles of rigorous , perhaps with the kimchee from morning to night .
only with a headache , minister will take us to the home that japan with pickled tofu museum don't know is how to combine a way ?
think of last night 's chinese cuisine , the feeling of brave want to cry , completely south korea , the only way to import was surprisingly kimchee .

airlines will believe that i should begin from the plane at that moment habits .
we must return to two days . if , still no one will miss it , is still under the miss auntie do leighton red-braised pork !
after all , the stomach meet than to have direct .
of course , this is nothing to do with kimchee .
two trees
the two trees planted a tree is me , that is i brother-in-law tree .
we are mutually cool , mutual concern .
i generation people are more children , but i only sister sister and brother and younger brother , thus brother-in-law presence is extremely important .
we are suffering the child was born , very small must participate in the many kinds of domestic labor , although i have been installed in efforts to become a big , like men , we want to do is like a cream of work , but has never been his father 's consent .
i have the mysterious c."(2002) illnesses , but not too serious , but do the housework , absent-minded since it is hard to avoid .
for example , his father to allow me to wipe the chimneys in the old house is nai , i he climbed onto the roof of the operation .
chimneys is wipe the better , but when the house was dew . the reason is i have housing tiles foot was broken .
once again , for example , i changed his father to let light bulbs , that kind of old incandescent lights .
eisner. stools , and i climbed to dispose of the light bulbs in hand but fell into concrete crushed .
such examples , so when brother-in-law wrangle , these chop suey small work was , of course he had contracted , very beautiful , but do not need to pay any labor costs .
i was the music was not hide in a corner of a look at those brick 闲书 .
later , we have long become two trees , two trees enough to support a family tree in xiamen .
and his father but inevitable dwarfing . in wheelchairs , he became a punta quietly under sanctuary shrubs .
i was stunned when an 50 brother-in-law suddenly contracted serious illness . on the surface to green and luxuriant big tree actually incredible is approaching that the fear of death .
people in the sunlight re-surveying dizziness summer , the operating theatres in the beijing union medical college hospital , the doctor responds : no value of surgery .
the two months .
at that moment , i suddenly hit by stray bullets , the soul of a shell , like a fool startled the moment there .
i started to mysterious c."(2002) , saw the old courtyard at home , and the younger brother-in-law busy in the yard .
is the sharp cry of the sister a wake-up call for me , i hurriedly went to hold down the sister sitting in hospital corridors , crowded together in our tears .
the sun shining suddenly disappeared , my streams of black in front of my eyes .
from beijing to return to our city , brother-in-law quickly learned about their own illness , he and weep after a sister , actually feel at ease .
brother-in-law began systematic arrangement things behind . for example , told his son : acting i take good care of your grandmother , and her old man died after going to and your grandfather and bones , and how to break the bones that graves .
often went to live with his maternal grandfather , catch up with the lunar new year call on you to buy some practical items .
for example , he told me that my younger sister : i go , you have to come to see your elder sister , she has a very lonely lonely .
i took time to visit him , as far as possible in the face , he was ashamed look of a face .
we often is the answer , like two trees , though the plant life , but no dialogue .
this is the trees two trees , the experience of wind and rain so that we have been able to calm in the face of all kinds of hardships and also needs and i explain ?
it doesn't seem that necessary .
because you understand : you leave , sister , and older sister and your children . there is also this big family , can only rely on the support of the tree me alone .
positioned for men who called ?
the man , no matter whether you are willing to , you should not hesitate to confront the spine and borne the responsibility .
the only regret is : why did you , the tree withered very early , you should have an abundant verdant life ?
when you walk is the day of the lunar new year .
that is , the chinese all over the world to greet spring festival at the boundless joy , a lonely .
perhaps , in another time and space , and also a new scion of life ?
the procuratorate minutes life
the reason for such a seemingly fashion title , because at that time of extreme despair , confused the fundamental too busy to the brain .
if an innocent , and received a paper to the ruling of the death penalty in the abstract , he also went to ming bridal picky " knowing the arbitral award " inside the grammatical errors ?
it was a very cold in winter , the youth points .
did not know who the duty , without a lighting the stove .
because it has a strong earthquake . in the evening to wo , we also didn't bother to set fire to the health .
in the 12 individual chase to sleep on the long , we have four people wrapped in quilts , shaking the howling in pale yellow lamplight in playing the " striking at three things , " win meal ticket .
suddenly , a far and near the sound came rolling in , we have several only provide feedback to look at the moment , immediately realized the presence of disaster .
therefore , get rid of playing cards , fly in the hands of local fishermen , the two road through the narrow door , a crowded .
at the moment , we ran out of the dormitory that poor base with stones into the moment the cottages into spices powder .
rushed to the courtyard we just stood on a shaky , like the ship , the elephant tumbler rock with laughter , unable to be fixed .
in this within a few seconds , we all around building was the glory of hsiung 's image , issued after the first " by the strange called " it incessantly squeaks , jump up almost frenzied writes , then since excavated dust turned into shares .
the wire the limelight of nature , " jump " have foreign exchange earner , like the whip circumfusion fled .
in our rampant after the predecessor body zhen magic is to release the celebrating their creativity , colorful fireworks 地光 can compare with any large scenography effects of war , the rumbling drums sound like to cheer on the land , with every roots torture weak nerves .
at the time , only an idea : mankind 's doomsday has arrived !
i can imagine : the earth ran now-open sound of a crash , and boiling lava if , at the invitation of molten steel blazing issued as human like ants , the way to free freeimage have invested within the lava , too stingy to a trace of tsing cigarettes have not suddenly disappeared .
my spine enjoy a carefree feeling like ice water injected numb , dark face several companions such as paper masks , erratic .
i thought : this way of mankind and bid farewell to the colorful world ? then will disappear from tens of thousands of years of civilization ?
can i still don't have a full 20 years old , the flowers just blossoming of youth , the survival pleased just perception . i was very reluctant to beautiful life !
my parents my relatives , uh , you are and where you are now are , what in the world still survive ?
facing the moment of the ferocious smiling face death . i was how i miss you !
.. don't know too long , and are goofing away i finally found joy : to the weakening of the sound is a little bit , shaking the earth is a little is slowing down , while the fireworks at the head of the flashing .
a bumpy in rough seas of the destroyer finally slowly enter a peaceful and safe harbour .
the heart of a young and fragile , after a nearly crazy careful after the devastation was finally returned to the original location .
ah , my homeland of the earth , you finally let us to feel the sweetness of family and cordial !
a kind of the sense of happiness as warm slowly overflow from the foot of the full body .
in doudou , who just turned 17 years old after a firm foothold in the face of once harmonious warm youth little courtyard , and now it is a piece of italian troops will remain in the rubble , suddenly weeping uncontrollably .
all of them were infected , tears ponder .
the snow began to fall , the sky is no fortunately the 120-foot condolences of mankind ?
that year , a total of an earthquake took the lives of thousands of people .
some experts said : fortunately forecast and , but also occurred in people have yet to sleep , otherwise " july 3 " strong earthquakes , at least 100,000 people lost their lives !
separated by only a year , the outbreak of the tangshan earthquake , more than 20 million people died .

july 10 , the direct election of the first 6000-2000 town party committee secretaries and xindu district in chengdu city mulan township party secretary liu fortitudinous fourth accept democratic appraisal after taking office , the satisfaction rate reached 97 % .
in the reporter and liu and resolute dialogue , liu fortitudinous defined itself into a " services . "
( yesterday 's " new beijing news )
in the words of liu and resolute " service provider , " may be higher than the words of some of the system of appointing cadres " service " was even more real and more to convince people .
compared with direct appointment system for selecting the greatest advantage lies in that the former mainly by ordinary party members and masses to determine the source of power , and the latter mainly by the higher-level organization , while the direction of the source of power have decided that the former should be responsible for the people in the first place .
the source of power and the responsibility is decided to those elected how the fundamental factors in their work .
some people have questioned whether this kind of " democratic " more like a " democratic show . "
my view is that have this kind of " democratic " form than it is no good .
taking into consideration of china 's democratic politics at the grassroots level in the history and current situation . i believe that selecting direct is already a major breakthrough , democratic appraisal is an important part of this initiative for promoting the building of democratic politics at the grass-roots level should not be underestimated .

" injected watermelons . " cancer banana " and " cardboard buns . "
[ the wasteland ] at the great wall 2007-07-19 22 : 02 : 57 [ sms ] [ tables ] . i remember the year before last , there is news saying that hainan 's watermelons were used syringes will inject including chemicals . as a result , a large number of watermelon rotten in hainan province . the large melon lost everything .
central television later made follow-up reports . the results confirmed that no matter .
this report was very strange , because to a big watermelon use syringe injections . not only have no practical significance in terms of workload is also impossible .
last year 's memory is even more clear , and there were media reports that hainan banana trees persons with a similar to the disease of human cancer , inevitably banana trees died of illness .
the result was a lot of people misunderstand for eating bananas to cancer , and the result is still the same . bananas in hainan , and do a big drop in the price of sorrow and groaned repeatedly to banana farmers .
the reason why the above two reports have a sensation . the reason is due to its direct touched on the most sensitive nerves of the people that the roots , i.e. food safety issue .
if the media said that will endanger the health of certain food , then will certainly snapping it up right for the target involved , people generally adopt prefer to believe it , is not credible their attitude to a person , eat several hainan watermelons , banana and what , after all , it is nothing extraordinary , but the production and sale of those products are concerned , will be a big impact .
not long ago , broke out again in beijing on food safety material is that due to the surge in pork prices . some people even used the carton box after processing for stuffing production steamed buns , this is the cardboard buns .
i have heard that it was deeply shocked and felt that the hawkers . they too can research , could think of a way to make a killing methods , and will then disseminated , this , this , this news , warned that friends and family should no longer buy buns in the streets .
however , another news suddenly yesterday said that the report of the cardboard buns is a fake news , the entire matter is invented by one person . and so in at ease puzzled the media at the same time , how is today ?
himself from a reliable channel to understand the truth is that life in the beijing tv station channel " transparency " program team temporary personnel zi certain since brought from the market to buy hamburgers , flour and cardboard boxes and incite others boxes of health through the water , soak into hamburgers , produced by the arm steamed buns .
zi certain since the use of the opportunities brought a dv filmed the production process . it will then its editorial , to be broadcast by deception .
now the public security organs , have a wealth of the criminal suspects according to law on criminal detention and will handle it in accordance with the law .
steamed stuffed buns . after the incident , the government quickly organized relevant departments launched investigations and mounted a breakfast meeting in beijing on the market in an all-round and thorough inspection and ensure the safety of the people of the dining table .
after this incident was confirmed , beijing television has openly apologize to society , and a profound lesson , strictly investigate and deal with relevant responsible , and will further strengthen management , plug up loopholes , and resolutely eliminate false untrue news reports .
but although the cardboard buns are purely for ukraine , but when you dare to go buy confidently milkshakes steamed buns is still unknown .
the incident also reflects from one government attaches importance to the issue of food safety and swift action , to a certain extent , shows that the dining table of the people in beijing is still relatively safe , steamed buns incident a false alarm , is for everyone to put forward a wake up !
education should be responsible for whom ?
talking about the recent listening to friends in a school in the news , i cannot help feeling .
the event occurred in a private schools in shanghai , one of the southwest yuk secondary school .
the school has decided to the best teacher arrangements for three straight from the school 's contract in junior high school classes schooling , and several senior and no teaching experience in the past the poor performance of teaching young teachers to bring in several other schools entered from the outside or not signing the class to ascend to the school .
the reason is : the students about signed agreed to give up exam other high at the time , so that schools should , according to the agreement that giving them the best teacher .
several other classes of students , the attitude of the schools is : should the opportunity to a young teacher training .
this cannot help but i sigh that education , what is right and who is responsible for ?
remember many years ago a key high school students , all his classmates had a mathematics teacher teaching level . no matter whether the immensity to collective petition asked schools to replace the teacher .
after the school to really give we changed the teacher , because schools to our commitment is to each students equally to each student .
ten years of graduate students came to the united states .
one summer courses in the next term , i discovered that all the elective course arrangements faculty are theoretical strong courses , while some applications . one of the programmes are no arrangements .
i went to find the remarks of the department , i believe that the curriculum .
the recognition of the department of applied not set the course because of the shortage of teachers . after two years as a teacher , that can be opened .
i remember that at the time he said : " this is your question , not me .
i traveled afar from shanghai to your school to study . it is because you are attracted by the course of employment .
if you have no ability to the creation of these courses , don't put them on . otherwise , this is false advertising is for me and my family irresponsible " .
department head listened to me think i said : i look at how to solve it .
may have already too late , because all the courses have been arranged in online registration .
after three weeks , talked to me , the head of the gist of the story is told me that his work is to each student , including my responsibility .
he listened to my proposal is the best , an increase of two mun applied strong elective courses , and hope that i can understand .
after the occurrence of this incident , i took a few classes of the department .
he never because i mention the views on him and i have prejudice , each class is just to give my a.
on the eve of graduation , i heard that his secretary , said , " every student has the best , but not every student has grateful to him .
at the graduation ceremony , i , as honorary students to the deputies ' speeches , told the department head : we all have to thank him from the bottom of their hearts to all we have done , because he tried his best to each and every one of us .
i felt that i made the right choice in life to go to school here .
here , i see that there are hidden in the eyes of the department of tears . . . if one day , every chinese educators and the whole education system can do that for every student , i think china 's real takeoff , the days that will not be far off .
central ' real takeoff ny pronouncement that the days that will not be far off 4s volleyball tournament
last sunday attended the system of the four people in the central area of new york men 's volleyball tournament . the six and a half hours to our team final to win the championship .
this competition is actually in order to prepare for the summer games in new york , new york ( empire games ) , diplomatically , and training the volleyball tournament .
coach to new york 's central region four men 's teams ( high squadron , university team over 35 teams , age 45 team ) scatter , restructuring 34 people a team , each equipped with a setter for competition .
the rules of the competition is very interesting , and can only back-row attack can not lobber line to three meters , only one of the setter block not change .
so basically is to test the strength of storming and defensive judgment card .
our team had a 41.65 2 meters , is the strong points of attack is high points , more than 60 percent of the overall offensive and scores of everything by him , one of the setter 85 meters , many dams single block to death .
a 90 meters in the back row , deputy attack , attack errors .
that is , i , 75 meters in the main , sometimes sneak attack . the success rate is still the main spiker he can , each received hatched markings .
a total of seven teams . the first round , my team first winning a referee after repeated sentenced to step on the line when our supply offensive fouls and greatly affect the morale of our side , immediately crying lost 3 .
however , after losing everyone psychological also quiet support is also among the three reached a stable . thus began to victory in a row .
after the preliminaries , my team three negative , small three wins in the 8th place .
then began to additional . apart from the top teams , two to seven catch to qualify for the team .
my team psychological , tactical stability is to eat up strong , leading the way in the semi-finals .
semifinal opponents , weak to strong guarding against my arm green and purple . however , once took a heavy detained . the extent of joy is the success of the detained two times the players .
did not know how many won the final score .
the final match meant that many drivers break attack on our side , leading the way .
the last 21 : 24 , our side confers match point , each other even sent two all called me to fly received the ball , 23 , 24 , my team 's supply ran over and said to me , it's only just two goals .
the next ball " is also flew to me . i am pretty well received . the back of the setter transmitted to supply , a heavy detained solution to combat .
besides on moral
freedom of the scattered individuals , " said on moral has said many .
in this regard , i have nothing to say .
now i want to say is on the collective .
often we will encounter requires a collective occasions .
on these occasions , it is necessary for a collective certain moral .
we often can those successful collective find some very good moral .
this is not accidental .
because for these enterprises or activities are concerned , it is necessary to overcome the difficulties of some of the eyes . together , excluding those based on factors of belief , i think that is those good moral has also had a role not to be neglected .
the most basic point , a group of moral criteria are very low , people are together very difficult to make the event a success , and are very sure to predict .
perhaps this is because , through rational long-term perspective to forward the wisdom of interests is a collective successful must quality .
in fact , collective often receive this all kinds of ways . for example , a local slang , beliefs , and so on , and moral integrity .
only brandy , brandy at night in the morning , the road of life can orchids everywhere .
[ explore ] to live until now , the real fun has had several ?
i was in high school friend , finally won the visa , at the end of august , the us west coast can be off to school reading institute of cattle .

propaganda and publicity at tokyo university institute of architecture
ha ha , is also considered to introduce the introduction of the alumni of tokyo university 's school of architecture .
i feel that the latest first-hand information to be genuine .
wang , the secretary of the president of the personnel teacher li also have several other scientific research and teaching office building technology teachers attended the report , i talked about a hours , then everyone talked about one and a half hours .
after the formal report , teacher zhang ( , assistant to the president ) off to the side me , and i said to the office of behind america to talk about .
he was very courteous , closing the door to tell me that in formal meeting , some words not good said , he said , " we can see that my future revenue late , so tell me some on the specific conditions of the income of a teacher 's school of architecture , so i feel at ease .
wang yuan before in the report on the general situation , the national institute of architecture , the construction sector only had a total of six key disciplines , two at tokyo university , and tsinghua university , tongji 1 , 2 , 1 , in addition to you .
he said that in recent years the country attaches special importance to building energy saving , green building and construction technology , southeast university wanted to introduce a teacher in this respect .
he said that they had received more than 20 biographical notes in the direction of applications in the country , japan , the united states ( it was like me a ) .
institute of architecture attached great importance to , and also for these applicants made conscientious observation .
and my understanding compared with some other colleges and universities , southeast university institute of architecture is indeed quite leading with chai urban planning should be given more than tokyo university , but the direction from the architectural design , seems to tokyo university can also accounted for a little bit first ( , um , i had never thought that ) .
wang yuan said that in the past two years , the research institute of architecture is adequate , belongs to the state institute of 985 construction of the project .
he told me that last year , the top one-time call todai construction funds for the construction of 10 million , of which 3.5 million was used to buy books enrich architectural college professional library , oh , this , i must sanichi , expense !
) . the remaining had almost all been used to buy my professional direction experimental equipment .
it is said to have several academicians .
ha ha great~~~ mentioned in passing that point , some of the equipment imports , i feel that seems to be slaughtered .
a survey indoor room air confined sexual experimental systems , is very common in the united states , the estimated 500 dollars definitely win . as a result , the southeast university spent 50,000 yuan ! ! !
other situation . now many of the southeast university faculties have moved to 9 longhu went to the new campus , but firmly behind , school of architecture , that is to enable students to have a good atmosphere of architecture , the old school district can have a look at some classic buildings , and had nothing new campus .
ha ha great~~~ seemed because other departments were removed , institute of architecture also want a house .
so wang yuan , coming straight to the told me that can give my allocation office alone .
very embarrassed , wang yuan , said : this time , i didn't . what feeling .
later my side of teacher zhang told me that this is no easy , because the office staff quota is extremely tense , and that some old professors have no separate office .
this made it my very uneasy . it seems that is not understanding the national situation .
in short , right ? this trip to tokyo university . i had a very pleasant and the leadership of the tokyo school of architecture and related professional and enthusiasm of the performance of the teacher , left me a very good impression .
i wish smooth development at tokyo university , the institute of architecture to continue to maintain the leading !

i asked , the answer is the most seamless travel agencies will go the whole set of votes !
however , in the scalpers there to add a bit of money , how much .
2 . to drive fake tickets : scalped tickets will be available at the hands of is not necessarily true , and the shuangfeng in hunan , a rich hsinhua rely on diplomas , a rich rely on counterfeit coins and counterfeit coins , so fake tickets is really a pediatrician !
mend by replacing a damaged part is the lowest level . it is called a real some fake tickets , renew their award are unable to !

nanjing subway drivers should accept the psychological debug
keyword : psychological debug
according to xinhua news agency , july 3 , together with the nanjing subway lying unconscious on the death of track .
according to the description , " zhu zhengting , aged 22 , is a young mtr drivers , encountered the scene as a nightmare . yesterday , the reporter saw him , he does not seem to have been from fear calmer , sits in a chair , staring straight , and seemed a bit trance-like eyes . "
obviously , the spirit of the young driver received great impact in urgent need of a psychological debug . otherwise , misleading for life .
don't know whether you remember that more than 10 years ago , a certain abandoned in texas , chau wells and rescued a little girl who rescue personnel , have withstood long-term psychological torment , finally choose to commit suicide after painful life .
at that time , although he too simple psychological debug . however , because people to pay more attention to the little girl was saved is precisely to overlook the need to psychological debug . finally , could not avoid the tragedy .
similarly , the incident of illegal immigrants at dover strait several years ago , that first opened the container , the british police . it is said that he was frightened fainted .
later , the british side to him for more than two months before the psychological debug he resumed normal .
people in the disastrous stimulate , psychological will greatly harm alone of personal strength at this time it is difficult for them to thoroughly restored , and often left psychological wounds .
due to such injuries are hard to be found by outsiders , but found that has no choice . many of the victims will be painful for life .
however , in china 's people 's psychological trauma care is not enough , especially the families of the parties or departments is often lost after the best 14.8 suddenly , i think at that time it was already too late .
now , the diversification of the media , we often heard that some shocking incident , many women have harmed the young people , many young children witnessed the cruel injuries suffered by their own parents .
in these young people were rescued , and very rarely heard that they have a psychological treatment , is more from family to family solace .
although the victims can feel that they have security . but once the harm it has become a piece of the scars will forever be impossible to cure , and always be awakened , affects the life of the parties .
fortunately , the driver 's leadership promptly his consolation to ease the pressure of his spirit .
after all , the responsibility of the accident is not to drivers , but the driver found that the situation has also taken steps to do what he has done , but did not stop the tragedy .
believe that even if they are not concerned drivers , anyone would be at the scene was shocked at the accident scene .
however , others have no responsibility involved with suicide . although were shocked , and to the development of the time will gradually faded from memory .
drivers of concerned is not so lucky . he must remember that is likely to remember all my life .
if he can extricate themselves from the then he went to wan . if there is no way to break , he would often was tortured by this startled .
the concept of modern health comprehensive more than in the past , mental health began to be people 's attention .
regrettably , the situation of the human spirit is very disheartening , especially in the cities , people 's mental health is not ideal , and the majority of people have more or less a hidden dangers in spirit , but some people encountered problems have sufficient attention .
think of the previous stage , " ms yang incident " lessons ? some irresponsible to the media the torment of a mental problem patients treated as objects of speculation , causing very bad social impact .
should avoid the occurrence of such incidents in the future it . otherwise , our society would become a pathological society .

music and make friends with star fans
keyword : star fans
i have a female friend had never seen before .
i directly told her that i appreciate your !
because you have direct express your love .
she likes to a stall in taiwan when the male red entertainment programmes , but these feelings never conceal .
this male presided over in jinan , presided over the program , she flew to jinan ; this man presided over to cheung sha easy-acting . she flew to cheung sha .
the book and men said that a friend sent to own a no bullets slingshots . she told me in a pleasant surprise " that sling is me . "
she also participated in a star in the electronic magazine , she told me excitedly each .
i have been quite like some of his own frank exchanges between the people of a certain star fans .
these stars can be a movie star . it can be a player , and also can of course is a great man .
i never think that these friends superficial , i feel they are very cute .
these people are really temperament , like is like , and does not like to do not like .
with this type of people contacts would be very relaxed .
although they are not 100 % consider to your feelings , but at least you know that their joys and sorrows . also know that contact with them . there will be more secure .
these people are also very frank .
we should know that dare to express their love , is also requires courage .
it is for this reason that many people only quietly like an entire life , or he will have looked down on those brazenly said that is so fans .
frank is , i think that one of the biggest advantages to his friends and frank and sincere .
but this is actually very difficult .
can like a star , has proved that a selfless ingredients in his heart .
some of my friends are some fans of the stars .
sometimes in order to see the stars side . they are able to endure hardship , and would sacrifice , give cards pinched his hand in hand , according to the camera , his mouth still cry .
can be said that they are very stupid , naive , but could not return on a plan to love a person is need selfless .
because in reality their narcissistic , insist on the object of others is too much , too much , so this selfless seemed a bit precious .
therefore , when talking about the people , and said that their own favorite stars is so and so , if a said that i never worship of others .
ha , ha , ha , so careful .
zhang xiaohui qiren
keyword : zhang xiaohui
chance to see not seen for a period of " kang xi . " the main character is zhang xiaohui .
wants is to publicize the " romance . " at that time .
see " romance . " at that time i was addicted to the days of sex films .
at that time i felt very strange , and pornographic films could be so beautiful , and sometimes are very interesting , called sex films .
i think in fact , it is not the erotic films , but also covers many countries .
the first to come in contact with south korea and japan .
later i saw many third world countries , latin america , some european , but rarely see hollywood and the french film .
i did not willing to the computer was deleted two . one is the " youth " . one is that " romance . "
" the first half of romance " are quite good . everyone is new , played very hard , and the director are measured .
the latter was abnormal , i fully accept .
in fact , i want to say is that , zhang xiaohui in the program said that her boyfriend , almost cover all the countries in the world . apart from africa .
at present , she has four her boyfriend .
most people are afraid of this issue could not accept that will say this person flouters .
but the problem is that when she said that these problems are very frank , not the slightest uncomfortable expression to people .
she also said that his own view of love .
for example , the two sides economic independence .
i estimate that character are also to be independent and to control their own destiny .
because i know that in love , love is alive . since the private , how will allow themselves to love also accept others ' love .
according to my experience as well as assumptions , presumably zhang xiao hui love has a simple wistful romances portrayed . she is a typical love between older sister and younger brother .
love between older sister and younger brother and sister is can accept everything , including also has a few younger brother , and at the same time , the infinite attachment to his younger brother and sister , because each other 's charm , and maternal , but may not mind whether it is the only , and so on .
but the statement from zhang xiaohui , i have found that she is actually a very understand life .
for example , she are keen to travel to the extent of extravagant technique .
therefore , i have every reason to believe that her life is very exciting .
if it was to , i am afraid that it could not accept such a phenomenon .
for now , i have accepted many people with no tolerance of tolerance , in fact , this is not a relationship , but only to their own roots thought that the tendons , there is no absolute love or do not love .
these people , for example , friends from passers-by a , b , and zhang ziyi , his good friend c , and sister lotus .
look at other people 's life , he is watching and visitors to his own life , for other people , then isn't it the heroine ?
this is like . although i am not in the jianghu , but the jianghu has been my legend .
people must have the spirit of entertainment

people alive is a very tired . so there should be some entertainment .
or mocked himself , or see the joke of others , and on the eight trigrams of others .
for example , went to the " entertainment " version of the ends of the eight trigrams and relax .
inside , speak out freely , but of course you should have the capability of differentiating between right and wrong , because all kinds of " black " .
" the findings of the " say what you want is that you don't know what is said himself , but you have to understand what you see .
small and/or said that tsai kang yong " scholar . "
if i can , well , that is of that type of reading a book , but has not thoroughly type .
fortunately , i always have self-knowledge .
however , just in time to read this book . i have some of the things they want .
also , it happened that i also like the blind , they were reading to think about , but also many things in common . there are many things that the seashore .
therefore , it gradually formed the habit of some habits , for example , tell yourself to their strong point to point of others .
every thing problems . first , from their own bodies to find the reasons ;
treat things rational point , treat friendly sentimental point ;
have to keep a low profile , and things to a low profile .
but you know that were not so good , association , selfish , and consider their own gains and losses . the federation of association the rational , emotional into a mess , the emotional tmd rational to life again .
that is , in dealing with its own choice will not want to regret it .
done is done , the plant will admit it .
people want to do so many useless .
fortunately , he himself is not really like to face up to the board , improve their reading personal price . he is also a vulgar .
but some people is different because not angry , always rational .
or , for example , their own sense of values is particularly strong .
once the trust a person , so all i felt that it was good .
even if there is insufficient , is also willing to go to tolerance .
though it was not the kind of " is put to friends thought of category .
but because of his friends are quite strict checks .
i don't understand . now , why do so many people are so trust the words and deeds of the newspaper .
also , or in their hearts . now , the report also and that kind of sacred nature as before .
but in this world , i don't understand the , uh , more than the matter .
a joke .
cuff his ear for itself .
song dandan " the depths of happiness , " warm and moved
keyword : song dandan , the depths of happiness
earlier , read in the newspaper to song dandan new published a book called " the depths of happiness . "
really want to read .
because i think as a to this age , have this kind of professional and experienced the changes in the family and career . after that , her own , what is the view of life ?
indeed do not disappoint people . after reading it , have feelings about two points : first , i was -- to look at other people 's life , you can also see their shadows ; second , is also very moved . all these are the details of family .
why was ) ?
in the book , song dandan , wrote : " i ignore an important principle in life : to give than to accept more happiness .
i always busy giving , busy let their own happiness .
i fuwa too understand how to accept , i ignore him to give is that ignore the happiness . the rights of others . "
i discovered that i was always enjoy this happiness , perhaps we should pay attention to some .
if a person can calmly face their own in the past , will all these demonstrated in front of everybody , this requires courage .
there , including her first love , she and the failure of yingda marriage as well as its own analyze in depth , and the son of the family .
this book is commendable , because as a publishing house , presumably originally vigorously advocating that she came to focus on the " i love my home " and " ambush from all sides " , and the case of a series of short zhao benshan .
but , presumably her persist , only the last raised zhao benshan . as for " ambush from all sides " and " i love my home " almost did not mention .
the book is filled with a woman , aged 40 , and the love of life and the family , the family rituals , warm and moved .
busy holiday
keyword : holiday busy
nearly a week on vacation , has not idle .
to institute a will and should be prepared to go to the meeting next week materials and the texts of the meeting .
this holiday will be very busy .
if no accidents occurred , according to the plan , three out of the meeting , 45 cities to go .
life was suddenly filled with many of its contents . similar , different types of almost forgotten how did before the holidays .
seemed to memory , and also did not idle .
only had a very long time can own spending , while it seems less time this year .
good or bad ?
busy , will enrich some , but if no gain , they have no effect on reducing the significance of this busy .
but , as if life cannot be calculated in accordance with the results . life is used to slowly feelings , and secure stable enrich joy is also a kind of harvest . although this harvest sometimes cannot be used to measure the evaluation standard for the community .
everybody needs to social values and self values . if the two can't be chinese , and we will ?
we should take the social value of the guidance of marxism , and advocated to make contributions to society . however , the fact is that a healthy , sound social , should fully respect the aspirations and value of the individual choice , and create conditions for the realization of the value of the individual .
of these , more and more thought suddenly discovered that the marxist principles also really effective .
the reason is indeed such a word , but really to real life , people sometimes will still puzzled .
even if the realization of their own value do not hinder social values , but the reality of each individual , will also meet in the realization of their true selves , and in disregard of society ?
or , our sense of self-esteem , can leave the social comments off ?
it seems difficult .
therefore , every one of us to do a good job of an ordinary person , they also avoid the pursuit of unusual and beyond ; if it has squandered a life but also association since accountability .
this is probably the social aspect .
vacation came . it is easy to some extent .
at least , can have time to see little discs , can relax their efforts to play a recently .
casual , the work still needs to do , life is still photos .
xi'an again next week for a meeting .
a although i have never been to , but because some " prejudice " doesn't seem like very much in the city .
he hoped that the visit can be changed , i have the impression that this city 吼吼 .

these few days , i will brief lost contact with you , oh , because of this , some people worry about me ?
opened in taiwan , but just want to prove that the secretary , who is deeply worried about me .

but the problem is that i also hope that the who is missing ?
heart . who knows when , becomes a blank .
don't understand why , there are always some people who want to stay also retain , while some people do not want to remain but always thought that i can squeeze into , like the feeling of the shopping centre ?
but , no matter whether or not there is your position can let the " white gloves " went to the cypriot ?
the material and the heart is still not the theory on the same day !
our car , heading for the high-speed road in busan .
the minister mei-shu drive cars , i did not have any words for passengers .
after all , he does not understand chinese don't understand english , but i , it can only be a few words of a few sentences far from perfect english .
quite boring watching computer , beating the keyboard , apart from the sound of the keyboard inside the car is miss south korea pleasant gprs navigation , all too some quiet voice .
outside the window , you could see only the endless green and blue and gray .
silence is not like my personality .
unexpected was actually the only thing that i feel affinity was surprisingly english .
well , in addition to the circle everywhere i produce radioactive dizziness . the other is any function .
i think that south korea will not go to production kompasu .
because the market is no need .
seoul , very clean , and thoroughly clean , meticulously clean .
but unfortunately , stay in seoul days , apart from the work place with department stores , and also did not have enough time to go to all the impression is limited to wait along the road .
fortunately , all is still beautiful !
south korea is very traditional courtesy . the book smile , conscientiously listen , graceful and quiet .
all it can to concerns are beautiful surface , traditional customs , and the ancient architectural style with apprehension civilization .
this is a hypocritical ?
also is hypocritical . okay , at least , everyone etiquette that !
ugly things not seen would probably does not exist .
south korea 's catering great !
but i don't like to do not understand why goes to the frustrating , but only will kimchee shake-up of various styles and , of course , seaweed indispensable .
switch to thinking , the south korean people for the study of the diet is also very formidable . on the ground can identify kimchee pickled or different , the length of time on the ground floor of different level of accuracy can go to .
from the angle of the korean people 's rigorous , perhaps with the kimchee from morning to night .
only with a headache , ministers will take us to the home that japanese with pickled tofu museum know is how to combine a way ?
think of chinese cuisine yesterday evening , the feeling of aritane want to cry , full of south korea , the only way to import was surprisingly kimchee .
ah , huh , thanked the china southern airlines , in providing aircraft together with dedication to kimchee meals .
airlines will believe that i want to start from the plane at that moment habits .
there are two days to come home , if no one can still misses , is still miss auntie do leighton smidgeon under !
after all , the stomach meet than to directly .
of course , this is nothing to do with the kimchee .
two trees
the two trees planted a tree is me , that tree is i brother-in-law .
we are mutually cool , mutual concern .
i generation people are many children , but i only sister sister and brother and younger brother , so brother-in-law presence is extremely important .
we are suffering the child was born , very small must participate in numerous domestic labor , although i have been to install a big , like men , we want to do is like a cream work , but has never been his father 's consent .
i have the mysterious c."(2002) illnesses , but not too serious , but do the housework , absent-minded since it is hard to avoid .
for example , his father to allow me to rub a little old houses chimneys nai , i he climbed onto the roof of the operation .
wipe chimneys is good , but when the rain . the house was dew . the reason is i have room tiles foot was broken .
another example is that his father to let i changed , that kind of old incandescent light bulbs .
eisner. stools , and i climbed to dispose of the light bulbs , but fell into the hands of concrete crushed .
such examples . so when brother-in-law to wrangle , these small work was chop suey , of course he had contracted extremely beautiful , but do not need to pay any labor costs .
i was the music was not hide in a corner of a watch those brick 闲书 .
later , we have long become two trees two trees enough to support a family tree in xiamen .
while her father inevitable dwarfing . in wheelchairs , he became a sanctuary under punta quietly shrubs .
i was stunned when an 50 brother-in-law suddenly contracted serious illness . on the surface to green and luxuriant big tree actually incredible is approaching that the fear of death .
in that people in the sunlight re-surveying dizziness summer , the operating theatres in the peking union medical college hospital , the doctor responds : no surgery value .
the two months .
at that moment , i suddenly hit by stray bullets , shell , the soul of a moment like fools startled there .
i started to mysterious c."(2002) , saw the old courtyard at home , and the younger brother-in-law busy in the yard .
is the sharp cry of the sister a wake-up call , i , i hurriedly went to hold down the sister sitting in the hospital corridors , crowded together in our tears .
the sun shining suddenly disappeared . my streams of black in front of my eyes .
from beijing to return to our city , brother-in-law quickly learned about their own illness , he and weep in a sister , actually feel at ease .
brother-in-law began systematic arrangement things behind . for example , told his son : generation i take good care of your grandmother , and her old man died after going to and your grandfather and bones , and how to break the bones that graves .
often went to live with his maternal grandfather , and catch up with the lunar new year call on you to buy some practical items .
for example , he told me that my younger sister : i go , you have to come to see your elder sister , she has a very lonely lonely .
i took time to visit him , as i face my , he was ashamed look of a face .
we often is the answer . just like the two trees , though the plant life , but no dialogue .
this is the trees two trees , the wind and rain of experience that we have been able to calm in the face of all kinds of hardships and also needs and i explain ?
it doesn't seem that necessary .
because you understand : you left , sister , and sister and your children . there is also this big family , can only rely on the support of this tree alone .
positioned for men who called ?
a man , no matter whether you are willing to , you should not hesitate to confront the spine and borne the responsibility .
the only regret is : why did you , the tree withered very early , you should have an abundant verdant life ?
when you walk on the day of the lunar new year .
is that the chinese all over the world to greet spring festival at the boundless joy , a lonely .
perhaps , in another time and space , and a new scion of life ?
the saluted the minutes of life
the reason for such a seemingly fashion the title is because at that time of extreme despair , confused the fundamental too busy to the brain .
if an innocent , vacuum received the ruling of the death of paper , he also went to knowing chuckles picky about the " judgment ming bridal book " inside the grammatical errors ?
it was a very cold in winter , the youth points .
did not know who the duty , without a lighting the stove .
because of the strong earthquake that evening legends back to wo , we also didn't bother to set fire to the health .
in the 12 individual chase to sleep on the long , we are wrapped in quilts , four people in the fading light of dusk the howling shivering playing " striking at three things , " win meal ticket .
suddenly , a far and near voice came rolling in , a few of us provide feedback to look only at the moment , immediately realized the presence of disaster .
thus get rid of playing cards to fly in the hands of local fishermen , the two road through the narrow door , a crowded .
at the moment , we ran out of the dormitory that poor base with stones into the moment the cottages into fragment powder .
rushed to the courtyard we just stood on a shaky , like tumbler on board the same rock with laughter , unable to their own fixed .
in this within a few seconds , we all around building was the glory and steady image , and issued a " strange called by " it incessantly squeaks , jump up nearly mad , writes , and then turned into shares . dust from excavated the site .
the wire jumped out of the limelight , " foreign exchange earner of nature , " have the same whip circumfusion fled .
in our rampant after the predecessor body zhen magic is to release the celebrating their creativity , colorful fireworks 地光 with comparable to any large scenography effects of war , the rumbling sounds of drums , suffering like to cheer on the weak nerves every roots .
at the time , only an idea : mankind 's doomsday has arrived !
i can imagine : the earth ran now-open sound of a crash , and boiling like as molten steel lava issued a blazing human like ants , at the invitation of the way to freeimage design co. have invested within the lava , too stingy to a trace of tsing cigarettes have not suddenly disappeared .
my spine have injected like ice water carefree feeling numb , dark face several companions such as paper masks , erratic .
i think : this way of mankind and the colorful world bid farewell to ? then will disappear from tens of thousands of years of civilization ?
can i still don't have a full 20 years old , the flowers just blossoming of youth , the survival just perception . i am very pleased , reluctant to beautiful life !
my family and my parents , uh , you are and where you are now are , what in the world still survive ?
the moment the ferocious smiling face death . i was how i miss you !
.. don't know too long , and are goofing away , i finally found joy : to the weakening of the voice is a little bit , shaking the earth is a little is slowing down , while the fireworks at the head of the flashing .
a jolt the destroyer in the rough finally coolly and enter a peaceful and safe harbour .
the heart of a young and fragile after nearly mad careful after the devastation was finally returned to the original location .
ah , my homeland of the earth , you finally let us to feel the sweetness of family and cordial !
a kind of the sense of happiness as warm slowly overflow from the feet full body .
, who just turned 17 years old in a firm foothold in doudou , facing the courtyard at once the warmth of the youth of harmony , and now it is a piece of italian troops will remain in the rubble , suddenly weeping uncontrollably .
all of them were infected , crosscurrent tears .
snow began to fall , the sky is not fortunately the 120-foot condolences of mankind ?
that year , a total of an earthquake took the lives of thousands of people .
some experts said : fortunately forecast and , moreover , occurred in people have yet to sleep , otherwise " july 3 " an earthquake measuring at least 100,000 lives away !
separated by only a year , the outbreak of the tangshan earthquake , more than 20 million people died .

south family to demand an explanation to the west , the family has aroused the sympathy of the celebratory .
spitting saliva to publicize their family members in the west .
thus , the battlefield moved to the west .
south family pledged before the 17th meeting of the village , and create a good image , making it the most flourishing a lustrous , developed in the south .
although the cadres in the village to persuade people to live in harmony with every day . however , this is called the village is always uneasy ning .
the most disgusting , within two or three months , even the pig is also called the rebellion started noisy disorder to trouble , uh , we should raise their social status !
in the first two years , the village chicken influenza is not all kill trouble ?

as long as the nature of the land and resources , and the nature of this country is not easy to change , once the nature of the land and natural resources has changed , then basically what has changed .

if no ban can take ?
the two times a generation of people 's feelings
earlier , some people have proposed . the age of 30 people crowded mao ?
it was later changed to 20 years old .
in fact , the people of this age group , did not experienced the mao zedong era , how to put the issue is brain was poured water is a congenital cerebral dementia .
in the city , the most qualified to speak on the mao zedong era should be experienced by the people of that era is suffering had suffered through which the people , that is , it should be born 1950 -- between 1960 people .
they were born , parents to join the movement , not the relative love for their children .
they need to nutrition , happened to catch up with three years of natural disasters , the bitter suffering from hunger .
they began to go to school , hit again abandoned a few years of study of the cultural revolution .
some even after a lifetime education they 15 - 17 years old , academic is not yet complete , was forced to give up their studies , responded to the call of the party , to the countryside to support border .
they work , believes that the most glorious , voluntary choice of the working class is dirty and most tiring work .
glorious for a short time . a coward his life .
they have to get married , late marriage and late child from them to have one child .
they are the long wage is that enterprises stresses diploma . they were diploma long be promoted .
they have worked hard to children , completed the basic education for children , children admitted to university , and catch up with the reform of the education system , the reform of state-owned enterprises double ice cream , tuition , they laid off .
they have a bigger every day with age , the body of a disease , but unfortunately catch up with the reform of the medical care system , causing illness body , not because they can't afford medical treatment .
we can see that : the entire social injustice and merciless down in their generation of people .
but in , but not many of these people opposed to mao zedong to attack mao zedong .
why ?
they are not being a lackey of mao zedong , their flesh , the real life of human groups in our society . they went to the countryside to laid-off and unemployed feel history , to face up to two social phenomena of the times .
although they neglected their studies in the era of mao zedong , who do not have enough to eat , clothes , as well as some of the bad phenomena in society there are many 's dissatisfaction , hatred , but from : national spirit , and morals , and social atmosphere , they still believe that the era of mao zedong .
some netizens parents is that this generation of people , you can chat with them .

" injected watermelons . " cancer banana " and " cardboard buns . "
[ ] at the great wall to the wilderness 2007-07-19 22 : 02 : 57 [ sms ] [ tables ] . i remember the year before last , there is news that the watermelons were used syringes in hainan will inject including chemicals . as a result , a large number of watermelons rotten in hainan province , the large number of melon farmers lost everything .
the central television station later made a follow-up report . the results confirmed that no matter .
this report was very strange , because to a big watermelons used syringes injections , without any practical significance , and is not only in terms of workload is also impossible .
last year 's memory is more clear , and there were media reports that hainan banana trees persons with a similar to the disease human cancer , inevitably the banana trees died of illness .
the result was a lot of people misunderstand to eating bananas to persons with cancer . the result is still the same , hainan , bananas , and do a big drop in the price of sorrow , cry again to banana farmers .
the reason why the two reports have a sensation . the reason is due to its direct touched on the most sensitive nerves of the people that the roots , i.e. food safety .
if the media said that will endanger the health of certain food , then that will spread like wildfire , passed , and the target for all involved . people generally adopt would rather believe it , is not credible their attitude to a person , eat a few hainan watermelons , bananas and what , after all , it is nothing extraordinary , but the production and sales for those products are concerned , the impact is big .
not long ago , broke out again in beijing on food safety and materials , and is due to the surge in pork prices . some people even used as stuffing production after the cardboard buns . this is the cardboard buns .
i have heard that it was deeply shocked and felt that they too can study the hawkers , could think of a way to make a killing methods , and then will widely spread , warned that , this , this , this is news from friends and family should no longer buy steamed stuffed buns . on the streets .
however , suddenly have news yesterday said that the report of the cardboard buns is a fake news , the whole thing is invented a person . and so in wonder media at ease at the same time , how is today ?
himself from a reliable channel to understand the truth is that life in the beijing tv station channel " transparency " of a certain group of temporary staff columns zi since brought to purchase from the market , hamburgers , flour and cardboard boxes , and instructed to health and others will sustain into the water , soak in boxes , hamburgers to make dumplings .
zi certain used its since dv opportunities brought home to shoot the production process . it will then its editorial , to be broadcast by deception .
now the public security organs according to law criminal suspects zi certain criminal detention , will handle it in accordance with the law .
steamed stuffed buns . after the incident , the government organized relevant departments for investigation , and the breakfast market in beijing launched an all-round and thorough inspection and ensure the safety of the dining table of the people .
was confirmed that after the incident , the beijing tv station has openly apologize to the community , a profound lesson and strictly investigate and deal with the relevant personnel , and will further strengthen management , plug up loopholes , and resolutely eliminate false untrue news reports .
but although cardboard buns is purely for ukraine , but you can rest assured when he dared to go buy the remaining 59 steamed buns is still unknown .
this is also a reflection of the government 's attention to food safety issues and rapid action , to a certain extent , shows that the beijing people 's table is still relatively safe , steamed buns incident a false alarm , which is for everyone to put forward a wake up !
education should be to who is responsible for ?
recently heard friends talked about the experiences of a school , so i can't help feeling .
the event occurred in a private secondary schools in shanghai city - a southwest yuk secondary school .
school decided to make the best teacher arrangements for three straight schooling contract from the school 's junior high school classes , while several without senior teaching experience and poor performance in the past teaching young teachers take another few entered the school or not signing from outside of class to ascend to the school .
the reason is : the students were signed about agreed to give up exam other high , so that schools should according to the agreement to ensure the best teachers for them .
but few students . the school 's attitude is : should the teacher training opportunities for young people .
this cannot but let me that education , what is right and who is responsible for ?
remember their own schools , many years ago , a key high school , all his classmates had a mathematics teacher teaching level . no matter whether the replacement of the immensity of collective signature requirements of school teachers .
schools had to really give us another teacher , because schools to our commitment is equal to the students , in each of the students .
ten years to graduate students .
one summer , the courses in the election of the next semester , i discovered that all elective course arrangements for faculty are theoretical strong courses , while some application . a door have no arrangement for the courses .
i went to find his head of department , i believe that the curriculum .
department head admitted that applied not set the course because of insufficient teachers that there is one teacher , that can be opened .
i remember that at the time he said : " this is your question , not me .
i traveled afar from shanghai to your school to study . it is because you are attracted by the course of employment .
if you have no ability to open these courses , don't put them on . otherwise , it is false advertising is for me and my family irresponsible " .
department head listened to me think i said that i see to how to solve .
may have already too late , because all the courses have been arranged in online registration .
after three weeks , the department head talked to me , the gist of the story is told me that his work is to include i am responsible for all students .
he listened to me and to make the greatest efforts to increase the two door applications elective course . i hope i can understand .
after the occurrence of the incident , i took a few classes of the department .
he never because i mentioned their views to him i have prejudice , each class is just to give my a.
on the eve of graduation , i heard that his secretary , said , " every student has the best , but not every student has grateful to him .
at the graduation ceremony , i , as honorary chairman of the deputies ' speeches , and told the students : we all have to thank him from the bottom of their hearts to everything we do , because he tried his best to each and every one of us .
i felt that i made the right choice in life to go to school here .
here , i see that there are hidden in the eyes of the department of tears . . . if one day , every chinese education workers and the whole education system can do that for every student , i think the rapid development of china 's real life that will not be far off .

propaganda and publicity at tokyo university 's school of architecture
ha ha , which is to introduce the alumni at tokyo university 's school of architecture .
the latest first-hand information to add my feelings . if genuine .
wang an , secretary of the personnel division director li teacher construction technology , scientific research and teaching office of several other teachers participated in the report , i talk about an hour , and then everyone talked about one and a half hours .
after the formal report , teacher zhang ( , assistant to the president ) off to the side me , and i said to the office of the back from america to talk about .
he is very courteous , closing the door to tell me that some words in the formal meeting , it said , he said , " we can see that i am at the end of the income is not in the future , then told me some teachers of the school of architecture , the specific situation of income , so i feel at ease .
wang yuan before in the report on the situation , the national school of architecture , the construction sector only had a total of six key disciplines , a tokyo university , tsinghua university , tongji 1 , 2 , 1 , in addition to you .
he said that in recent years the country attaches special importance to building energy saving , green building and construction technology and science , southeast university wanted to introduce a teacher in this aspect .
he said that they had received more than 20 biographical notes in the direction of application , taiwan , japan , the united states ( it was like i am a ) .
construction institute attached great importance to , and also for these applicants made conscientious observation .
and i understand that compared with some other colleges and universities , school of architecture , tokyo is indeed quite leading with chai 's urban planning should be given more than tokyo . however , from the architectural design direction , it seems that the southeast university can also accounted for a little bit first ( , um , i had never imagined that ) .
wang said that in the past two years , the dean of school of architecture , and research funding is adequate , belongs to the state institute of 985 key construction projects .
he told me that last year , a one-time call to the southeast university architecture above 10 million construction funds , 3.5 million was directly used to buy books enrich architectural college professional library ( ha ha , um , i want to zambia for a second , expense !
) . the remaining had almost all been used to buy my professional direction experimental equipment .
it is said to have several academicians .
ha ha great~~~ mention in passing that some of the equipment imports , i feel that it seems that were slaughtered .
a survey of the indoor air airtight room experimental system is very common in the united states , an estimated 500 dollars will definitely win . as a result , the southeast university spent 50,000 yuan ! ! !
other conditions are now many centre at tokyo university have moved to 9 longhu new campus . but building college firmly behind . that is to enable students to have a good atmosphere for the construction of the old school district , some classic construction can see , the new school district had nothing .
ha ha great~~~ seems because other departments were removed , school of architecture , in addition to a house .
so wang yuan , coming straight to tell me that can give me a separate service offices .
very embarrassed , wang yuan , said : this time , i didn't . what feeling .
later my side of teacher zhang told me that this is no easy , because the office staff quota is very tense , some old professors have no separate office .
this made it my very uneasy . it seems that is still not understanding the national situation .
in short , right ? this trip to tokyo university . i had a very pleasant , southeast university 's school of architecture of the performance of the leadership and relevant teacher is very professional dedication and enthusiasm , left me a very good impression .
i wish the smooth development of tokyo university school of architecture , continue to maintain the leading !

nanjing subway drivers should receive psychological testing as soon as possible
keyword : psychological debug
according to xinhua news agency , july 3 , nanjing subway track lying dead incident together .
according to the description , " zhu zhengting , aged 22 , is a young mtr driver , suffered a acts like a nightmare . yesterday , the reporter saw him , he does not seem to have been returned from fear god , sits in a chair , staring straight , eyes seemed a bit trance-like . "
obviously , the spirit of the young driver received great impact in urgent need of a psychological debug , otherwise they will be misleading and life .
don't know whether you remember , more than 10 years ago , a certain abandoned in texas chau wells and rescued a little girl who rescue personnel , have withstood long-term psychological torment , finally choose to commit suicide after painful life .
at that time , although he too simple psychological debug . however , due to the people to pay more attention to the little girl was saved is precisely to overlook the need to psychological debug . finally , could not avoid the tragedy .
similarly , the incident of illegal immigrants at dover strait . a few years ago , that first opened the container , the british police . it is said that he was frightened fainted .
later , the british side to he held the psychological testing of more than two months before he returned to normal .
people affected by disasters sexual stimulation , psychological will greatly hurt . at that time , only with personal strength is very difficult to completely restore , often will leave a psychological wounds .
due to this kind of injuries to outsiders is very hard to find , but found that had no way out , many parties will be painful for life .
however , in china 's people 's psychological trauma care is not enough , especially the family of the person or departments is often only after the loss of the best 14.8 suddenly , i think at that time it was already too late .
now , the diversification of the media , we often heard that some shocking incident , many women have harmed the young people , there are many young children 's witnessed with their own parents suffered cruel injuries .
these young people were rescued , and very rarely heard that they have a psychological treatment , is more emotional solace from families .
although the victim can feel that they have security . but once the harm it has become a piece of it will forever be impossible to cure the scars , always be awakened , affect the lives of the parties .
fortunately , the driver 's leading his consolation and timely manner , and to ease the pressure of his spirit .
after all , the responsibility of the accident is not to drivers , but the driver found that situation has also taken measures to do what he has done , but did not stop the tragedy .
believe that even if they are not concerned driver , the person they were at the scene of the incidents that shocked at the scene .
however , others have no responsibility involved with suicide . although he was shocked , can the development of the time will gradually faded from memory .
the drivers concerned is not so lucky . he must remember that is likely to remember all my life .
if he can extricate themselves from this that he was lucky . if there is no way to escape , he would often have been tortured by such a shock .
modern health concepts comprehensive more than in the past , mental health began to be people 's attention .
regrettably , the situation of the human spirit is very disheartening , especially in the cities , people 's mental health is not ideal , the spirit of the majority of people have more or less a hidden perils , and some people encountered problems have sufficient attention .
think about the " yang lau incident in the previous stage lesson . some irresponsible media to a suffering from mental problems , patients are treated as speculation , causing very bad influence in society .
should avoid the occurrence of such incidents in the future , otherwise we would become a pathological society .

music and make friends with star fans
keyword : star fans .
i have a female friend had never seen before .
i directly to her . i appreciate your !
because you direct express your love .
she liked to taiwan a stall when the male red entertainment programs , but never cover up for this kind of feeling .
this male presided over in jinan , presided over the program , she flew to the jinan ; this male presided over to cheung sha easy-acting , she flew to cheung sha .
the book was the only male said that a friend sent to own a spring no bullets , she told me in a pleasant surprise " that spring is me . "
she also participated in doing this , this star electronic magazine , she told me excitedly each .
i have been quite like some of his own frank exchanges between the people of a certain star fans .
these stars can be television stars . it can be a player , but also can of course is a great man .
i never think that these friends superficial . i think that they were very cute .
most is the true nature of these people , like is like , not like is not like .
with this kind of people , will be very relaxed .
although they are not 100 % consider to your feelings , but at least you know that their joys and sorrows . also know that contact with them , and will have a greater sense of security .
these people are also very frank .
we should know that dare to express their love and it requires courage .
it is for this reason , many people only quietly like one 's entire life , or he will have looked down on those brazenly said that is so fans .
frank is , i think that one of the biggest advantages to his friends and frank and sincere .
but this is actually very difficult .
can like a star , it also proves that his selfless heart 's content .
some of my friends are some stars fans .
sometimes in order to see this star side , they are able to endure hardship , can sacrifice , give cards pinched his hand in hand , according to the camera , his mouth is still yelled .
can be said that they are very stupid , naive , but could not return to love a person is need selfless .
because the real love , and insist on their own since the object of others is too much , too much , so this selfless seemed a bit precious .
so , when talking about , said that like the star is so and so , if a said that i never worship someone else .
ha , ha , ha , so careful .
zhang xiaohui qiren
keyword : zhang xiaohui
chance to see not seen for a period of " kang xi . " the main character is zhang xiaohui .
wants is to publicize the " romance . " at that time .
see " romance . " at that time i was addicted to the days of sex films .
at that time i felt very strange , pornographic films could be so beautiful , and sometimes it was very interesting . it is called sex films .
i think in fact , it is not the sex films , but also covers many countries .
the first to come in contact with south korea and japan .
later i saw many third world countries , as well as latin america , europe , some , but rarely see hollywood and the french films .
i think not willing to delete the computer 's two . one is the " youth " . one is that the " romance . "
" the first half of romance . " it was quite good . everyone is new , played very hard , and the director are measured .
the latter was abnormal , i fully accept .
in fact , i want to say is that zhang xiaohui in program said that her boyfriend , almost cover all countries in the world . apart from africa .
at present , there are four of her boyfriend .
most people are afraid of this issue could not accept that will say this person flouters .
but the problem is that when she said that these problems are very frank , without the slightest uncomfortable expression to people .
she also said that his own view of love .
for example , the two sides economic independence .
i estimate that character should also independence , their own control their own destiny .
because i know that the people in love , love is the live is that since selfish , how will allow their own love also accept other people 's love .
according to my experience as well as assumptions , presumably zhang xiao hui love has a simple wistful romances portrayed . she is typical love between older sister and younger brother .
the love between older sister and younger brother and sister is can accept everything , including also has a few younger brother , and at the same time , can be unlimited attachment to his younger brother and sister , because each other 's charm , and maternal instinct , but may not mind whether it is the only , and so on .
but the statement from zhang xiaohui , i have found that she is in fact a very understand life .
for example , she was keen to travel to exaggerating the point in droves .
therefore , i have every reason to believe that her life is very exciting .
if it was to , i am afraid that it could not accept such a phenomenon .
is better than i am now also accepted many people with tolerance is , in fact , this is not a relationship of tolerance , but only to their own thought that the roots and tendons , there is no absolute love or do not love .
these people , for example , a passer-by , friends b , zhang ziyi , his good friend c , and sister lotus .
look at other people 's life , he is watching and visitors to his own life to others , and isn't character ?
this is just like that i was not in the jianghu , but the jianghu has been my legend .
people , we must have the spirit of the little entertainment
keyword : entertainment spirit
people alive is a very tired . so it is a little entertainment .
or mocked himself , or look at others joke about other people 's gossip .
for example , went to the " entertainment " version of the ends of the eight trigrams and relax .
inside , speak out freely . but , of course you should have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong , because all kinds of " black " .
" the findings of the " say what you want is that you don't know what they mean , but you have to understand what you see .
small and/or said that tsai kang yong " scholar . "
if i can , well , that is of that type of reading a book , but has not thoroughly type .
fortunately , i always have self-knowledge .
however , he simply in reading this book , i have some of the things they want .
is it happened that i like blind , they were reading to think about , but also many things in common . there are many things that the seashore .
therefore , it is gradually formed the habit of some habits , for example , tell yourself to their strong point of others is a little better .
when we encounter problems , the first to find out the causes from their own bodies .
treat things rational , treat friendship sentimental point ;
have to keep a low profile , things to a low profile .
but you know that people are not so good , association , selfish , and always consider their own gains and losses association the rational , emotional into a mess , the time when the emotional tmd rational to life .
that is , to treat their own choice will not want to regret .
done is done , the plant is recognized .
people want to do so many useless .
fortunately , he himself is not really like to face up to the board , improve their reading personal price . he is also a vulgar .
but some people 's is different because not angry , always rational .
or , for example , their own sense of values is particularly strong .
once the trust of the people , so all i felt that it was good .
even if there is insufficient , is also willing to tolerance .
though it was not the kind of " is put to friends thought category .
but as a result , guard against friends rather strict .
i don't understand . now , why do so many people are so trust the words and deeds of the newspaper .
also , or in their hearts , and now the same as before , the report said that kind of sacred nature .
but in this world , i don't understand the , uh , over the matter .
jokes .
a just stared openmouthed for itself .
song dandan " warm and moved to the depths of happiness . "
keyword : song dandan , happiness , deep
earlier , read in the newspaper to song dandan new published a book called " the depths of happiness . "
really want to read .
because i think as a in this age of women with such a professional and experienced the changes in the family and career . of these , her own after about life , how do you see ?
and indeed do not disappoint people . after reading it , there are two feelings : first , i was -- to look at other people 's life , you can also see their shadows ; second , was also very moved . all these are the details of the family .
why was ) ?
in the book , song dandan wrote , " i ignore an important principle in life : to give than to accept more happiness .
i always busy give , busy for their own happiness .
i fuwa don't understand how to accept , i ignore give him , that is , to overlook the happiness that rights of others . "
i discovered that i was always enjoy this kind of happiness , perhaps we should pay attention to some .
if a person can calm in the face of their own in the past , will all these demonstrated in front of everybody , this requires courage .
there , including her first love , she reached marriages with britain and the depth of his own anatomy , and his son 's family .
there is something that the book , because as a publishing house , presumably when is strongly advocated that she came to focus on the " i love my home " and " ambush from all sides " , and the case of a series of short , zhao benshan .
but , presumably her persist , zhao benshan raised only the last . as for the " ambush from all sides " and " i love my home " almost did not mention .
is permeated with a book on the life of a woman , aged 40 , love , family and the family rituals , warm and moved .
busy holiday
keyword : holiday busy
a week on vacation , has not idle .
to institute a will , there should be prepared to go to the materials for a meeting next week and the texts of the meeting .
this holiday will be very busy .
if no accidents occurred , according to the plan , three out of the meeting , four or five cities to go .
life was suddenly filled with many of the same kind of different types , almost forget that in the past , how did the holidays .
it seems that it did not idle .
but it is still a very long time can own dominant , and it seems less time this year .
good or bad ?
busy , will add some , but if they have no effect no harvest . the meaning of this busy discounted .
but , as if life cannot completely calculated in accordance with the results , life is used to gradually felt that practical safe and enrich the joy is also a kind of harvest . although this kind of harvest . sometimes unable to assess the community standards .
everyone needs to social values and self values , if not chinese , the latter , we will ?
marxist teaching , we should mainly to social values , ideas to make contributions to society . however , the fact is that a healthy , sound social , should fully respect the aspirations and value of the individual choice , and create conditions for the realization of personal worth .
of these , more and more thought suddenly discovered that the principles of marxism is really very effective .
the reason is that such a principle , but really to real life , people sometimes will still puzzled .
the realization of even their own value do not hinder social values , but we have every reality , will also meet on real self realization and , in disregard of society ?
or , our sense of self-esteem , can escape the left society ?
it seems difficult .
therefore , every one of us to do a good job of an ordinary person , and avoid the pursuit of unusual and beyond ; if it has squandered a life , and also association since .
this is probably the side of the society .
vacation came . it is easy to some extent .
at least , can have time to see little discs , can play a recently relaxed .
casual , the work still needs to do , life is still photos .
xi'an again next week for a meeting .

of course , this is nothing to do with the kimchee .
two trees
two tree , a tree is me , that tree is i brother-in-law .
we have become cool , mutual concern .
i generation people are many children , but i have no my brothers and sisters , the elder sister and brother-in-law presence is extremely important .
we are all very bitter children , who will participate in the many kinds of domestic labor , although i have been installed in the efforts to become a big , like men , we want to work like a cream wadi , but has never been his father 's consent .
i am from the small mysterious c."(2002) illnesses , but not too serious , but do the housework , absent-minded since it is hard to avoid .
for example , his father to allow me to wipe the chimneys in the old house is nai , i he climbed onto the roof of the operation .
chimneys is wipe . but when the house was dew . the reason is i stepped on the housing tiles was broken .
once again , for example , his father to let me change , that kind of old incandescent light bulbs .
eisner. stools , and i climbed to sell off the bulb is in hand to cement crushed on the ground .
such examples , so when moving his brother-in-law , these chop suey little work , of course he was contracted , very beautiful , but they do not need to pay any labor costs .
i was happy to see the hide in a corner of those brick 闲书 .
later , we have long become two trees , two trees enough to support a family tree in xiamen .
and his father was inevitable dwarfing . in wheelchairs , he became a sanctuary under punta unknown shrubs .
i was stunned when an , the 50-year-old brother-in-law suddenly contracted serious illness . on the surface to green and luxuriant big tree actually incredible is approaching , that fear death .
people in the sunlight away heedlessly dizziness summer , the operating room in the beijing union medical college hospital , the doctor responds : without the value of the surgery .
the two months .
at that moment , i suddenly hit by stray bullets , the soul of a shell , just like a fool startled the moment there .
i started to mysterious c."(2002) , saw the old courtyard at home , and the younger brother-in-law busy in the yard .
the sharp cry of the sister a wake-up call , i , i hurriedly went to hold down the sister sitting in the hospital corridors , crowded together in our tears .
the sun shining suddenly disappeared . my streams of my eyes and dark .
from beijing to return to our city , brother-in-law quickly learned about their own illness , he and weep , a sister , actually feel at ease .
brother-in-law began systematic arrangement , behind . for example , told his son : generation i take good care of your grandmother , and her old man died after going to and your grandfather and bones , and how to break the bones that graves .
often went to see you live with his maternal grandfather , catch up with the holiday to buy some practical items .
for example , he told my sister : i am away , you have to come to see your elder sister , she has a very lonely lonely .
i took time to visit him as far as possible . faced with me , he was ashamed look of a face .
we often is the answer , like two trees have life , but no dialogue of the plant .
this is a tree two trees , the wind and rain of experience that we have been able to calm in the face of all kinds of hardships and also need to give me ?
it doesn't seem that necessary .
because you understand : you leave , sister , and older sister and your children . there is also this big family , can only rely on the support of my , this tree alone .
who is positioned to men ?
men , no matter whether you are willing to , you should not hesitate to confront the spine borne the responsibility .
the only regret is : why did you , the tree withered very early , you should have an abundant verdant life ?
you see on that day .
that is , the chinese wild with joy to greet the spring festival in the world , when you go to a lonely .
perhaps , in another time and space , and also the scion of a life new life ?
life 's dabao minutes
the reason for such a seemingly fashion headline is because at that time of extreme despair , confused the brain is too busy to time .
if an innocent , and expect the ruling received a paper to death . he also went to ming bridal picky about knowing the " decision " inside the grammatical errors ?
that is a very cold in the winter 's youth points .
i didn't know who the duty , a day without lighting the stove .
a strong earthquake that evening because it back to wo , we also didn't bother to set fire to the health .
to sleep on the long chase , we have four people wrapped in quilts , howling in pale yellow lamplight shivering playing " striking at three things , " win meal ticket .
suddenly , a far and near voice came rolling in , a few of us provide feedback to look only at the moment , he immediately realized the presence of disaster .
thus , get rid of the card in the hands of local fishermen , through the narrow door two road , a crowded .
at the moment we ran out of the dormitory , that poor stone block the cottages runs into a fragment of instant noodles .
rushed to the us in the yard just stood on the board a shaky , just like a tumbler rock with laughter , unable to be fixed .
in this , we all around him within a few seconds , the building was the glory and steady image , issued after the " by " strange called it incessantly squeaks , he jumped up nearly crazy , writes , and then from the excavated dust turned into shares .
the wire nature in the head out of the limelight , " jump off , as foreign exchange earner , " whip scattered fled .
in our rampant after the predecessor body zhen magic is their own creative release to celebrate the fireworks , colorful 地光 can compare with any large scenography effects of war , the rumbling drums sound like to cheer on the way , suffering a weak nerves every roots .
only one idea at that time : the end of the mankind has arrived !
i can imagine : the earth sound of a crash course now-open . like the molten steel boiling lava invitation issued a blazing , mankind like ants to free freeimage methods have put into the lava . too stingy to a trace of tsing cigarettes have not suddenly disappeared .
my spine have become numb and inject carefree feeling like ice water , dark face several companions erratic as paper masks .
i think : this way of mankind and bid farewell to this colorful ? this will disappear from tens of thousands of years of civilization ?
can i still less than 20 years old , the flowers just blossoming of youth , the survival just perception . i am very pleased , reluctant to beautiful life !
my parents my relatives , uh , you are and where you are now are , what in the world still survive ?
the moment ferocious smiling face death . i was how i miss you !
.. don't know too long , and are goofing away , i finally found joy : to the weakening of the sound is a little bit , shaking the earth is a little is slowing down , while the fireworks at the head of the flashing .
a bumpy the destroyer in the rough finally coolly to enter a peaceful and safe harbour .
a young and fragile heart after nearly crazy careful after the devastation was finally returned to the original location .
ah , my homeland of the earth , you finally let us to feel a warm and cordial !
a kind of the sense of happiness as warm and slowly full body from the premium of the foot .
at the age of just 17 doe doe after a firm foothold in the face of once harmonious warm youth little courtyard , and now it is a piece of italian troops will remain in the rubble , suddenly weeping uncontrollably .
all of them were infected , tears ponder .
the snow began to fall , the sky is not fortunately the 120-foot condolences of mankind ?
that year , a total of an earthquake took the lives of thousands of people .
some experts said : thanks to forecast and , moreover , has yet to sleep in people , otherwise " july 3 " strong earthquakes claimed at least 100,000 people 's lives !
separated by only a year , the outbreak of the tangshan earthquake , more than 20 million people died .

state of emergency period ends ; palestinian prime minister fayyad to form new government
the month-long state of emergency declared by the palestinian authorities after hamas militants occupied the gaza strip comes to an end today . prime minister fayyad offered resignation temporarily , but was immediately ordered to take responsibility for forming a new government .
minister for agriculture and social affairs habbash told afp : " prime minister fayyad offered his resignation to president abbas . the president accepted it and at the same time also asked him to form a new cabinet government to be responsible for routine administration . "
amr , an advisor to abbas , told afp that fayyad had tendered his resignation , but that abbas had ordered him to " act in his current position until he has formed a new government . "
the resignation of fayyad , who is a highly respected economist , was merely a procedural resignation , and will not affect his position as prime minister .
fayyad has led palestine 's emergency cabinet since the 17th of last month , being responsible for executing abbas 's state of emergency decree after hamas 's violent occupation of gaza .
according to the basic law of the palestinian self-rule government , a state of emergency cannot exceed 30 days without the agreement of the parliament , but the autonomous parliament is currently paralyzed .
the emergency government 's authority expires today .
wto delegates propose new plan , hoping to break deadlock in the doha round of talks
the main delegates at the world trade organization talks today suggested that the us make major cuts in its agricultural subsidies and that developing countries significantly reduce import duties on industrial products in order to break the deadlock in the doha round of trade talks .
officials say the new " draft models " require the us to reduce its annual subsidies for agriculture from the 19 billion us dollars permitted at present to 16.2 billion us dollars , and developing countries to adjust and reduce import duties on industrial products to below 23 % .
these suggestions are aimed at breaking the deadlock in which the doha round of talks has been stuck for nearly six years , and at bringing the 150 members of the wto to a compromise agreement .
director-general lamy of the wto called these suggestions " a fair and reasonable foundation for reaching an agreement which has major long-term targets and balance and is development-oriented . "
lamy said : " the member states will not be completely satisfied with the details of the suggestions , but at present the problems causing differences are fewer than the problems of reaching agreement . "
he called for intensive talks to be held over the next few weeks .

hostage crisis countdown : south korea talks directly with taliban
the taliban in afghanistan have kidnapped 23 south korean hostages and fixed sunset today as the deadline , demanding that south korea withdraw its troops from afghanistan or they would kill the hostages .
as the minutes and seconds go by , there have been positive developments in the situation . south korean officials held talks with the taliban for the first time today .
but at the same time the taliban said that another german hostage who had been kidnapped was in extremely poor health , and had started to become comatose and to lose consciousness .
the taliban called on germany and south korea to withdraw their troops from afghanistan and demanded 33 guerrillas imprisoned by the afghan government in exchange for these hostages .
taliban spokesperson ahmadi said in a telephone interview by afp at an undisclosed location : " we have established direct contact with the south korean delegation through tribal elders . "
amadi said : " we hope this meeting will bring results . "

difficulty in reaching agreement in dispute over territorial waters , military meeting between the two koreas breaks up in discord
a three-day high-level military meeting between north and south korea broke up in discord today , because both sides were immovable on the drawing of maritime borders .
the talks , held in the border city of panmunjom , entered the final day of negotiation today . north korea 's chief representative lieutenant-general kim yong-chol ( transliterated ) said : " we've come to the conclusion that we don't need these fruitless talks any more . "
red-faced and with an obviously displeased expression , kim yong-chol criticized south korea for intentionally avoiding discussions on drawing a new maritime border to replace the original " northern limit line . "
he alleged that the " northern limit line " was not legal .
the " northern limit line , " located in the yellow sea , was set by the american military in 1953 after the end of the korean war . however , in recent years it has become a focus of dispute between the two koreas , and north korea has further refused to recognize it .
north korea says that south korean warships have illegally invaded these waters , causing tension . south korea calls this accusation groundless .
conflict broke out in local waters in june , 1999 , causing the deaths of dozens of north korean sailors .
in june 2002 there was again news of a similar conflict . six south koreans were unfortunately killed .
us treasury secretary arrives on visit to china ; environmental protection and exchange rates are focuses of concern
us treasury secretary paulson arrived yesterday on a visit to china . the us is currently doing all it can to persuade china to carry out further necessary economic reforms and work on environmental protection . the renminbi exchange rate is an issue that will receive particular attention .
us diplomats say that paulson first visited xining , capital city of china 's large northwestern province of qinghai .
china is currently carrying out a series of plans for environmental protection near the largest freshwater lake in qinghai province .
today paulson will move on to beijing to discuss pushing for progress in the us-china strategic economic dialogue started last year and other issues with chinese chief officials .
the us-china strategic economic dialogue mainly discusses economic , environmental protection and other issues . yet , the most important is the issue of the renminbi exchange rate . us congressmen believe that the renminbi is excessively undervalued .
the trade deficit between the us and china is quickly escalating . internal pressure within the us is gradually rising , and congressmen are ready to take retributive action to resist what they call china 's unfair trade policies .
last week the us senate finance committee overwhelmingly approved a bill requiring the treasury to identify a list of countries with " fundamentally misaligned " currency exchange rates . this opens the door for potential economic sanctions to be brought against beijing .
us congressmen say that the renminbi is undervalued , which makes the price of goods that china sells to the us extremely cheap , and adds to the trade imbalance between the us and china . last year the us 's trade deficit with china reached 232.5 billion us dollars .

f1 " spy case " hearing finished yesterday ; mclaren escapes penalties for now
last night beijing time , the special hearing held by the fia world motor sports council in paris over the ferrari engineer spy case came to a close . mclaren , who had been summoned , managed a lucky escape : the council decided not to impose any penalty on mclaren for the time being .
the fia official website published a statement after the hearing , saying : " vodafone mclaren mercedes was in possession of confidential ferrari information , but at present there is insufficient evidence to show that this information was used improperly in the fia formula one world championship . therefore no penalty will be imposed . "
however , this does not definitively close the ferrari engineer spy case .
the motor sports council also said in this decision : " if it is found in the future that the information relating to ferrari has been used to the detriment of the championship , we reserve the right to request mclaren to return to wmsc for a hearing . at that time , they may face the penalty of the cancellation of their qualification to take part in the 2007 championship and even the 2008 championship . "
mike coughlan , the former chief designer for mclaren who has now been suspended from his job , has been found to have been in possession of nearly 800 pages of ferrari 's technical documents . the contents included sets of details of the design , power , construction , checks , tests , development and operation of ferrari 's 2007 race car .
mclaren insists that no-one else in the team knew about this information before coughlan was suspended from his job , and that the mclaren car for this season has no elements from ferrari .

experts think insurance qdiis will not divert funds away from domestic stock market in the short term
chinanews.com , july 30
according to a report in china securities journal , the provisional measure for the overseas investment with insurance funds was recently published , and insurance funding has greater room for operation in the capital markets .
china life insurance company 's chief investment officer liu lefei thinks that with the renminbi appreciation and the domestic capital markets improving , insurance institutions will not make large investments overseas through foreign currency purchases in the short term . this also means that insurance qdiis will not divert funds away from the domestic stock market in the short term .
the report says that quite a few insurance institutions hold the same view .
experts say that because there is currently no renminbi derivatives market as yet , and the risk-avoidance techniques of insurance institutions are not sufficient , the time is not yet ripe for large-scale foreign currency purchases .
liu lefei says that in the long term , in terms of asset allocation , overseas investment should occupy a certain proportion of an insurance company 's overall allocation .
however , given the fairly large upwards pressure on the renminbi at present , china life would mainly be using its own funds in foreign currencies for making overseas investment .
in the current situation it should take a cautious attitude toward purchasing foreign currencies to invest overseas .

bian implies criticism of judiciary getting involved in elections ; taiwan 's " judicial yuan " denies it and demands his explaination
chinanews.com , july 31 on the 30th chen shui-bian questioned that members of the judiciary on the island may have tried to get involved in elections for leaders in the taiwan region .
kao chin-chih , director-general of taiwan 's " department of judicial administration , " said on the same day that the current behavior of judges on the island was not as chen shui-bian said , and demanded that chen shui-bian give an explanation of his comments .
according to reports in taiwan 's united daily , chen shui-bian questioned on the 30th that for political reasons or electoral considerations , judges , prosecutors or investigators may be interfering with , affecting or even trying to control the campaign activities of candidates from all parties . he said he hoped that this kind of phenomenon did not exist in taiwan , but that it was perhaps extremely difficult .
weng yueh-sheng , " president of the judicial yuan " in taiwan , kept quiet and made no response to chen shui-bian's questions , but " secretary-general " fan kuang-chun sent kao chin-chih to make a statement on behalf of the " judicial yuan . "
kao chin-chih said that taiwan 's basic law and the " regulations for judges " both explicitly state that judges should be above party factions , must not take part in political party activities , and must not campaign , either . judges were all extremely prudent and respected these relevant restrictions , and the " judicial yuan " believed that judges all acquit themselves admirably .
kao chin-chih gave an example , saying that " high court kaohsiung branch court " judge chang sheng-hsi took part in a class at the ketagalan institute a few years ago , the self-regulation council organized by judges decided to punish him because the relevant syllabus had political party implications .
once chang sheng-hsi wanted to take part in the dpp primaries , but because of controversy over retaining his position and taking part in the election , he decided in the end to give up on it .
kao chin-chih believes that if it's specific judgments in cases , there is relief available at the court level , and one should not infer that judges have political intentions simply based on wins or losses in the verdicts .
germany plans to lower threshold for bringing in professionals
staff writer , berlin , july 1 ( correspondent wang huaicheng )
german federal minister of education and research schavan said recently that germany should lower the qualifying conditions for bringing in foreign professionals in the immigration law and solve the problem of the shortage of professionals that germany is facing through increasing the recruitment of foreign talents .
according to a report by oecd , by 2010 the number of workers between age 15 and 64 in germany will be gradually decreasing each year .
if there are not enough immigrants , the labor force in germany in 2020 will decrease by 6 % as compared with the present .
however , reports by organizations such as the german employers association and the german association of engineers show that there is a relatively large shortage of engineers and professionals in the current job market in germany .
according to the statistics from germany 's federal labor department , this may , the supply of engineers in the labor market in germany had a shortfall of about 12,700 people and the supply of technicians had a shortfall of about 9,600 people .
in order to protect native employment , germany has set a relatively high threshold for bringing in foreign talents .
germany 's immigration law stipulates that professionals from non-eu countries should have annual salaries of no less than 85,500 euros in germany , otherwise they cannot get the permit to work and live in germany .
schavan suggests that this qualifying amount be reduced to 40,000 to 60,000 euros .
don't blindly worship legal " theory circle "
it is stipulated in article 8 of the draft amendment of the lawyers law which has been recently submitted to the npc standing committee for review that people who were once engaged in the profession of researching and teaching laws and have obtained advanced professional titles or equivalent professional levels may be granted the permission to practice law when their applications for lawyers ' licenses pass the review by the judicial administrative department of the state council .
( june 28 , the china youth daily )
in the legal community there is a distinction between the " theory circle " and the " practice circle . " the former mainly includes the " abstract activities " such as teaching and researching laws , while the latter is more engaged in the " concrete activities " such as litigation , legal counseling , and legal services .
for a long time there has existed a phenomenon of " scholars ' mutual contempt " between the legal " theory circle " and the " practice circle . " the " theory circle " believes that the " practice circle " lacks the necessary legal training and consists only of mechanical " legalists , " while the " practice circle " criticizes the " theory circle " by pointing out that " theory cannot direct practice . "
with regard to such a labor division , what the law can do is to maintain neutrality rather than vigorously support either party .
however , the " system of specially licensed lawyers " in the lawyers law acknowledges in reality the judgment that the legal " theory circle " is superior to the legal " practice circle . "
in fact , some experts and scholars who have been engaged in the research and teaching of pure legal theories such as the history of the legal system and the international laws have nothing to do with practicing law no matter how profound their theoretical achievements have been .
thus , the " system of specially licensed lawyers " has doubtlessly opened up a " bad loophole " for confusing qualification in the legal " practice circle " which will have an extremely negative impact .
there is also more blind worship of the " theory circle " than these . for example , the phenomenon that expert opinions and expert panels frequently influence and even negate court rulings is also a direct manifestation of such blind worship .

britain lowers terrorist attack alert level
staff writer , london , july 5 ( correspondent guo lin )
on the 4th , the british government lowered the terrorist attack alert level from the highest level to the " severe " level . this shows that terrorist attacks in britain will not be imminent , but attacks are still " highly likely . "
at present , the british police has shifted its scope of investigation to india and australia .
since the eight terrorist attack suspects that have been arrested had all worked in the medical system , the government will conduct an emergency investigation of the backgrounds of foreign immigrants who have been employed in the medical system .
it was learned that nearly 90,000 people employed in the british public medical system have all obtained their qualification for practicing medicine from abroad .
in addition prime minister brown required that background checks be conducted for high-tech immigration applicants and that employers or relevant agencies shall be required to provide applicants ' background data .
keep public places from harassment of peddlers
when people go out traveling , they are looking for relaxation , freshness , and freedom , enjoying as much as possible the natural scenery and achievements of civilized society .
however , while traveling in the country , many people have experienced such nuisance as being besieged and cornered by peddlers and middlemen in public places .
whether you are getting on or off a bus or train , you invariably suffer the harassment of peddlers and some unlicensed middlemen .
they either sell chicken eggs , peanuts , or sesame seed cakes , or newspapers and magazines . in addition , many unlicensed middlemen make referrals to restaurants and lodgings , even hawking fake certificates , fake receipts , and so on .
if you don't take them , he can chase you for several hundreds of meters as if he would rather die than fail .
in some scenic spots , many tourists also have the same experience .
before you enter the main gate , someone would come to hawk things like tourist souvenirs and small pieces of arts and crafts .
there are more scenarios of this kind after you go through the gate , which completely ruins even your best mood .
some media once reported that many foreign tourists coming to xi'an praised endlessly the places of historic interest and scenic beauty in xi'an , but felt it was incomprehensible that crowds of peddlers are allowed to hawk their wares everywhere .
such public places including bus stations and scenic spots are places meant for traveling and recreation . attention should be paid to civility and orderliness as well as tranquility and harmony , providing tourists a comfortable and relaxing environment .
the unrestricted entry and exit of peddlers not only disturb the mood of tourists , but also actually destroy the public order of these public places , giving rise to the visual contamination and environmental contamination , while providing the conditions and opportunities for lawless people to make trouble .
the important thing is that these public places are the windows of spiritual civilization construction in the local areas . a small glimpse can reveal a larger picture . not only the image is being damaged but the growth of local economy will also be impacted .
just imagine , if you want to expand and strengthen the tourism industry but welcome guests traveling from all directions with such a messy tourist environment , who will still want to come , and who still dare to come ?
then how can your tourist economy gain returns ?
as the tourist high season approaches , creating a civilized tourist environment for tourists coming from all directions should be considered the top priority .
public places are not markets . the operation by peddlers should be regulated . unlicensed operation must be resolutely banned , and there should be relentless crackdown on illegal activities .
only a civilized and orderly environment can get tourists to come happily , who will leave after fully enjoying themselves and keep the passion for a return trip .
in a word , keep public places from the harassment of peddlers .
" rewarding voluntary withdrawal from welfare system " does not hold water
the jianguomen neighborhood in dongcheng district of beijing gave away things like refrigerators as rewards to twelve households that voluntarily withdrew from the welfare system .
( the beijing news , july 10 )
while feeling happy for these families for the improvement of their lives , this writer is ambivalent toward the proposal of " voluntary withdrawal from the welfare system " and the " reward-giving " method .
the deputy director of the jianguomen neighborhood office said , " in response to the issue of the welfare fraud , encouraging voluntary withdrawal from the welfare system aims to set a good example for other households on welfare . "
if it is to encourage other welfare recipients to get out of their difficult situations through their own efforts , then this example is indeed worth promoting . if this is intended to " appeal " to those longtime cheaters of the welfare system , then it may be a bit naive .
working to distinguish between real and fake welfare recipients and sort them out , we should rely more on the law .
the relevant department should stress the obligations that welfare recipients must carry out while enjoying the welfare : for example , promptly notifying the changes in the family members and incomes , reporting the status of employment , accepting regular reviews , etc. on the other hand , the relevant department should step up monitoring and inspection .
after all , only " withdrawing from the welfare system according to the law " is the long-term strategy .
who will foot the bill for the material rewards given by the neighborhood to the households that withdrew from the welfare system ?
as a level-one government organization , the neighborhood 's expenses are covered by the funding from the government budget .
however , is it legitimate to spend this sum of tax payers ' money ?
on the one hand , households that have withdrawn from the welfare system prove that they have attained certain abilities to be " self-sufficient ; " on the other hand , aren't there still people who apply for the welfare ?
the funding from the government budget which is called " life-saving " money should be used to provide timely help instead of extra bonus .
liu gangyi 's remark about his willingness to be a service provider is more believable
on july 10 , liu gangyi , the party committee secretary of mulan township , xindu district , chengdu city , who is the first township party committee secretary through public nomination and direct election in the whole country , received his fourth democratic evaluation since he took office . the rate of satisfaction reached 97 % .
during his conversation with reporters , liu gangyi defined himself as a " service provider . "
( yesterday , the beijing news )
the " service provider " as spoken by liu gangyi is probably more truthful and more believable than the " service provider " as spoken by some appointed cadres .
the greatest advantage of public nomination and direct election as compared with the system of appointment lies in the fact that in the former the source of power is mainly determined by ordinary party members and the masses , while in the latter it is mainly appointed by upper-level organizations . and where the power originates determines that the former must take its responsibility to the general public as top priority .
the source of power and to whom they should answer are the basic factors that determine how the elected will go about their work .
some people suspect that this kind of " democratic evaluation " is more like a " democracy show . "
my opinion is that it is better to have this form of " democratic evaluation " than nothing at all .
considering the history and current status of china 's grassroots democratic and political construction , i think that it is already a major breakthrough to have public nomination and direction election . being a major component of this innovation , the democratic evaluation is not to be underestimated in promoting the grassroots democratic and political construction .
first woman president expected to be elected in india ; analysts call her election quite likely ; female voters hope she can raise the status of women
on june 23 , patil brought her hands together palm to palm before she filled the presidential candidate documents .
india 's presidential election kicked off on the 19th . the new president will be chosen between the current vice president shekhawat and pratibha patil , who recently resigned as governor of rajasthan .
patil is the first woman presidential candidate in the history of india . if she is elected , she will become the first woman president ever in the indian history .
patil is the presidential candidate for the ruling party inc , while shekhawat is from the opposition party bjp .
since the inc occupies a dominant position in the presidential electoral college , the media and the general public all speculate that patil is rather likely to be elected .
patil , currently 72 years old , was a woman governor of rajasthan .
she was born into a lawyer 's family and entered the parliament in 1985 . with rich experiences in politics , she was well acclaimed by the government during her tenure as governor of rajasthan .
in addition she is devoted to the social welfare and is the honorary chairperson of many cultural , educational , and social welfare organizations .
analysts pointed out that the reason why patil became a candidate is because she has remained loyal to the inc president sonia gandhi .
in india the gandhi family has controlled the ruling inc party for a long time .
patil is supported and respected by a large number of female voters . female voters believe that patil will reshape the image of women and raise the status of women in india , where discrimination against females is a dominant ideology .
the constitution stipulates that india is a federal-system country . the president is the nominal head of state and commander of the armed forces , representing no party organization and serving more as a symbol .

he expressed " serious concern " over this .
bush said that the us will continue to support pakistani president musharraf , believing that musharraf will persistently fight against al qaeda and taliban militants .
it is noted in the national intelligence estimate report recently released by the us that islamic militant organizations , bin laden 's al qaeda in particular , still constitute a persistent threat to the us .
the agreement reached by musharraf and some tribal leaders in the northern region of pakistan last september on guarding against the remnant forces of the taliban and activities of al qaeda members has failed to achieve the expected result .
these tribal leaders " were unwilling or unable " to maintain the security of the region on their own .

climate change leads to rapid shrinking of alps glacier
staff writer , geneva , july 29 ( correspondent liu jun )
a long-term follow-up research by glacier experts at the swiss academy of sciences found that from 1850 to 2005 the 1,800 plus glaciers in switzerland were shrinking at an annual rate of 3 % .
the heat wave in 2003 alone caused the alps glacier to melt by 1.8 %
experts believe that if the global temperature rises by 3 degrees celsius by 2100 , the glaciers will have shrunk by 80 % compared with the present and that with a temperature rise of 5 degrees celsius , the glaciers will have entirely melted .
the aletsch glacier is the longest glacier in europe and has been inscribed on the list of the unesco natural world heritage . however , from 2005 to 2006 , it shrank by 100 meters within a year . there can be no more delay in protecting the natural environment .

russia 's security service accuses exiled oligarch berezovsky of " plotting to launch a coup d'etat "
a lawyer for berezovsky , the russian oligarch in exile in london , borovkov , announced on july 2 that the russian federal security service had formally issued a new charge against his client , accusing berezovsky of " plotting to engineer a coup d'état and attempting a violent seizure of political power in russia . "
borovkov pointed out that in april this year berezovsky had announced during an interview with a journalist from the british " guardian " newspaper that he was preparing to launch a " palace coup " in russia , and confirmed that he was providing financial support to representatives of the right-wing elite opposed to the policies of the administration .
the russian federal security service 's investigation bureau immediately launched a criminal investigation against berezovsky under article 278 on " forcible seizure of power " of the penal code of the russian federation , and has formally brought forward related charges in moscow 's savyolovsky court recently .
it is reported that the russian procuratorate-general brought criminal charges against berezovsky in february 2006 , similarly based on the exiled oligarch 's confirmation during an interview that he was attempting a seizure of state power by force in russia .
as berezovsky has remained in exile abroad , making it impossible to extradite him , russia authorities temporarily suspended the investigation of the case in january 2007 .
on july 2 , moscow 's savyolovsky court began to hear another criminal case against the exiled oligarch . the russian procuratorate-general accused berezovsky of embezzling funds of 214 million roubles from aeroflot and laundering 16 million roubles . after the hearing the court decided to postpone judicial investigation into this case till july 12 , and a state defense lawyer will be assigned for the defendant in this period .
berezovsky believes that this is all a " farce , " and has explicitly prohibited his defense lawyer from taking part in the court hearings .

according to a report in the us media on the 15th , there has recently been a trend in the us towards a sharp increase in the number of reports of heart diseases and other adverse reactions caused by avandia , an anti-diabetic medicine .
in may this year the us food and drug administration issued a safety warning , recommending that sufferers from diabetes exercise caution when using avandia , because a scientist had published a research report in the edition of the new england journal of medicine that came out on may 21 , saying that this best-selling drug could greatly increase the incidence of and death rate from heart disease among sufferers .
consequently , the safety of avandia has received close attention by doctors and patients .
statistics show that in the approximately one month following the issuing of the safety warning , the us fda had received 357 reports of adverse reactions caused by avandia , of which 38 were reports of deaths .
and yet the fda had received just 50 and 73 reports of adverse reactions in january and february this year respectively .
these adverse reactions ranged from being as trivial as getting blisters to as serious as sudden deaths from heart disease .
however , the us fda 's pharmaceuticals experts believe that it would currently be premature to reach the conclusion that avandia is not safe .
the fda will hold a hearing into the safety of avandia on july 30 .
avandia , which came on the market in 1999 , is an insulin sensitizer , suitable for treating type 2 diabetes .
some 6 million diabetes sufferers worldwide have taken or are taking avandia .
avandia 's producer , the british company glaxosmithkline , continues to believe that avandia is safe , and that for suffers " the benefits outweigh the drawbacks . "

us department of defense reconsiders plans to reduce us troops in europe
an official in the us department of defense said on the 23rd that due to the iraq war and changes in the world situation , the us department of defense is reconsidering a plan drawn up in 2002 to cut the number of us troops in europe by approximately half .
the us media cited a department of defense official as saying that due to the ongoing iraq war and the worsening us relations with russia and iran , department of defense leaders have raised doubts about the feasibility of plans to cut troops in europe .
in 2002 the then secretary of defense rumsfield announced that the us would reduce troop numbers in europe from the original 113,000 to 71,000 before 2012 , in order to create a new-style army with " fewer , but better " soldiers .
the us army 's total forces in europe have currently fallen to 100,000 people .
but in june this year , commander craddock of the us army headquarters in europe submitted a report to the current secretary of defense , gates , raising doubts over the above-mentioned reduction plan .
the report said that while us army forces are being reduced in europe , many military units would be deployed on a rotation basis to iraq and afghanistan for combat , leading to a shortfall in us troops in europe to such an extent that there would be no way to develop normal cooperation with european allies .
the report recommended halting the plan to reduce us troops in europe .
relevant us experts believe that the above-mentioned phenomenon shows that the prolonged and unresolved iraq war has disrupted the original us military 's restructuring plans .

three main functions of modern military uniform
the first is the identification function .
it is an important sign that distinguishes the armies of different countries , different military services , and between the military and civilians .
in the armies of more than 100 large and small countries of the world , although the use of military uniform is basically identical , there are no two countries ' armies whose military uniforms are completely the same .
the second is the symbolic function .
to a certain extent , military uniform is both a reflection of a country 's mental outlook and its national characteristics , and is also a concentrated embodiment of a country 's military ability to wage war and the quality of its servicemen .
in the three main types of military uniform -- ceremonial attire , everyday uniforms , and drill uniforms -- the one that can express national prestige and military prestige to the fullest extent is none other than ceremonial attire that is well-pressed and pleasing to the eye .
the third is the protective function .
with the rapid development of high-tech and updated weaponry , improving the overall protective capacity of new-style drill uniforms to give military uniform various types of functions -- including bulletproofing , stealth protection , anti-chemical , anti-bacterial and anti-radiation functions , as well as control of the temperature , humidity and the air -- has become a key issue in the development of military uniform .

staff writer , chengdu , july 3
report by qu yimao and yang ruiyu : " we can now move into apartments as a result of the brigade party committee organ 's resolution and boldness in freeing up the apartments . "
today , more than ten cadres in a communications drill brigade in chengdu military command were all beaming with pleasure as they moved into apartments . they felt full of admiration and gratitude for the way the " group " on the brigade party committee dared to confront tough obstacles in solving thorny issues .
over the past few years , along with the replacement of personnel , an excessive part of the brigade 's accommodation for family members had been occupied against regulations , making it difficult to house the cadres on active duty . officers and men had quite strong views about this .
the brigade had tried to free up the apartments several times , but failed to get it done each time due to all kinds of obstruction , allowing the problem to become a long-standing , big and difficult issue .
" as long as we have the courage to do things properly and are fair and reasonable , there are no difficulties we cannot solve . "
after the group on the new party committee had reached a consensus , the principal leaders appeared in person and set about thoroughly sorting out all the problems relating to occupation of apartments against regulations .
on the one hand they appealed to people 's emotions and explained their reasoning , hoping that the personnel concerned would consider the whole picture ; on the other hand , they explained the policies and regulations relating to military apartments , apartments built with pooled money , and economical and adequate apartments , to show the party committee 's staunch determination and principled stance .
in the case of personnel who had accommodation elsewhere and were not willing to leave the additional apartments they occupied , the party committee organ promptly made contact with the work units they were in and adopted relevant measures to encourage them to take the initiative in cooperating with the work of the army .
over two months of meticulous work , all residents occupying additional apartments in the army barracks against regulations had all moved out on schedule , and cadres who worked in the brigade were all assigned the accommodation in accordance with regulations .
the way in which this brigade party committee dared to confront tough obstacles has also given rise to a chain reaction . several cadres who originally were unwilling to actively cooperate with the organization 's allotment have now one by one also expressed their willingness to obey the organization 's decisions .

at the beginning of this year , the people 's armed force party committee discovered during investigation and research at the grassroots level that some of the people 's armed force cadres had served for a long time , had too many concurrent duties , and had not put their chief energies into the armed force work .
for this reason , they have adopted methods including centralized training , replacing training with meetings , and relying on local party schools to conduct training , thus regularly training military cadres , in an effort to resolve problems such as the narrow knowledge base and the uniform focus of the professional quality of military cadres .
in combination with the central work , they boldly assign tasks to military cadres and put more pressure on them , and raise their performance by on-the-job training .
at the same time , they have actively coordinated with local organizational departments and jointly drafted the " people 's armed forces cadres ' competition for jobs scheme , " and explicitly stipulated that the leaders of people 's armed forces departments must join the party committee of the same level and cannot concurrently take on other jobs .
they have set up a military cadres ' restructuring exchange mechanism to promptly regulate exchanges on some older military cadres who are not suitable for grassroots people 's armed forces work , and promote and use some comrades of good comprehensive quality and strong work ability .
not long ago , a domestic gap was filled by the underwater boat-welding technology invented and developed by the people 's militia technology platoon under the leadership of the secretary of the armed department of the new century shipbuilding company limited , chen yisong , who was exceptionally promoted as the company 's armed department leader .
when you start well , you still need to finish well
judging simply from the result of the match , 2-2 seems a reasonable score , and is also one that the chinese team can accept . the key problem is that the way the match went made people feel it was rather a pity .
if the iranian team had taken a 2-0 lead , then the chinese team had evened up the score , then the feeling that would have given china 's sports fans would certainly have been different . it would have boosted morale . the pity was that the situation was precisely the opposite .
you could say that starting well but being unable to finish well is an old problem of the chinese team .
the chinese team often don't kick the ball when they have an excellent chance , and most people 's view is that the psychological quality of china 's players is not really up to it .
this is actually one reason why the chinese team cannot " finish well . "
however , judging by the chinese team 's match today , it may not be quite so .
even if we set aside the fact that sun jihai , sun xiang , shao jiayi , zheng zhi and others have played in europe , li weifeng and others are also old-timers with long experience of the battlefield . they have experience and knowledge , and so it would be reasonable to say that there should not be any problem with their psychological quality .
the reason why the chinese team was regrettably forced to a draw by the iranian team this time may be because they deployed their forces in a lackadaisical manner at key points of the match .
when the iranian team were behind , they substituted two persons , and the scene immediately seemed different .
in the second half , the chinese team also substituted three players , but without a positive effect .
to overcome the problem of starting well but being unable to finish well , it is definitely necessary to pinpoint the source of the problem .
as long as the problem is correctly grasped , it will probably not be difficult to find a way to get rid of the problem .
the worst thing when you have a serious illness is just to go to see any doctor .
if they carry on like this , no matter how many matches the chinese team play , the old problem will still continue , and the constant progress with every game that everyone expects will be out of the question .

" small , scattered , far and direct " education coordination zones go into operation in a second artillery unit base
staff writer , report by xue bingjian and correspondent xu yeqing : the situation in the " small , scattered , far and direct " units where education organization is difficult , resources are meager , and each fends for itself , will become history at a second artillery unit base .
this correspondent learned recently that following a half-year pilot project , this base has handed down " the method of fully implementing ' an outline for ideological and political education ' . " a number of ideological and political education coordination zones covering all the " small , scattered , far and direct " units in the base have officially been brought into operation .
in order to push ahead with the effective implementation of " an outline for ideological and political education , " the base organized resources at the beginning of the year to conduct in-depth investigation and research of the ideological and political education situation in " small , scattered , far and direct " units . they combed through important issues that influence and restrict the education time , personnel and results , and initially established this new-style education model of coordination zones for the " small , scattered , far and direct " units .
the concrete approach of coordination zones is to break down the organizational boundaries among units and set up a brigade and regiment-level unit to take the lead in the areas where the " small , scattered , far and direct " units are relatively concentrated , and conduct an integrated program for thematic education , with units falling under different hierarchies coming together in nearby places for lectures or using the help of video link-up systems for remote discussions .
they have adopted a method that integrates taking turns in giving lessons and competing for posts , and unifying the allocation of educational resources . in each area the use of educational hardware will be integrated , and each unit 's materials , data and educational experiences will be shared and exchanged with those of others , with regular organization in each area of typical tour reports and exchanges of what they got from the study by the officers and men .
every coordination zone has set up a devoted educational liaison person and a part-time educational information gatherer .
on this basis , each coordination zone has also set up systems for seeking assistance on difficult issues , holding joint discussions on major educational themes , reporting critical ideological situations , and assessing tests and evaluations .
zhang shengmin , the director of the base 's political department , told this correspondent that constructing political education coordination zones has both reduced the waste of educational resources and deepened the impact of education .
some political instructors fear they will lose marks in front of officers and men from other units and have taken the initiative to study new things and seek new educational methods .
the officers and men receiving the education have also enthusiastically digested the educational content , out of concern over expressing themselves in layman 's language in front of the officers and men of friendly neighboring units during discussion and analysis .
in this way , the enthusiasm of the people giving and receiving education has been both effectively stimulated .

doing things openly in a ji'nan military command unit takes heat off " hot-button issues "
staff writer
report by wang weiqin and specially contracted correspondent li deying : on july 25 , this writer observed in a service support company of the ji'nan military command that invitations for an army engineering tender , details of financial expenditure , promotions of cadres , non-commissioned officers being admitted to the party and other major matters were written up on a bulletin board , and hung up conspicuously in a display cabinet .
as political commissar su chengsen explained , this is a concrete measure adopted by the section to promote a system where things are done openly .
at the beginning of this year , the unit party committee drew up measures including " two-way supervision between the organization and the grassroots " and " publicizing sensitive issues " to strengthen the construction of the party spirit and honest government , requiring that for all significant issues that involve the direct interests of the officers and men and army development , the opinions of grassroots officers and men are first heard before decisions are reached , and that standards , procedures , and results etc of the handling of the matters are made public from start to finish in line with the circumstances .
the unit has installed a suggestion box and a bulletin board , and has opened a " message board " on its intranet to collect everyone 's views and recommendations in an extensive way .
at the beginning of the year , as the renovation project of the soldiers ' barracks was about to start , before the work began , the party committee organ extensively solicited the views of the officers and men , and then released the information on inviting bids , implementing a system of open tenders .
this both saved money and won the support of the officers and men .
doing things in an open and fair way has driven the formation of a good atmosphere at the grassroots .
in this unit , the grassroots company insists on making regular public announcements and notices , no matter whether they are issues as big as the determination of " hot-button " sensitive matters , or as trivial as personal vacations to visit relatives or daily income and expenditure in the mess accounts , thus taking the initiative to receive the supervision of the masses .
( international ) research shows a link between arrhythmia and two forms of genetic variation
xinhua news agency , london , july 2 icelandic scientists have discovered through research that the risk of arrhythmia among people with two types of genetic variation in their bodies is far greater than among ordinary people .
according to a report in the latest issue of nature magazine , after researchers at iceland 's decode genetics inc sifted through the genes of thousands of people from iceland , sweden , and the us , as well as china 's hong kong region , they made the above-mentioned discovery .

the research also discovered that one of the genes , while increasing people 's risk of suffering from the cancer of the prostate gland , also lowered the risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes .
( sports ) veteran us goalkeeper keller may retire after america 's cup
xinhua news agency , maracaibo ( venezuela ) july 3 ( correspondent liu jian )
according to a report in the venezuelan media on the 3rd , the us team 's 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper , keller , said during an interview here that if he could not find a suitable club to serve in after the america 's cup , then he would opt to retire .
" if i have not been able to get a contract for 1-2 seasons with a high-quality league team within four to six weeks of the conclusion of the america 's cup , then maybe retiring will not be a bad choice for me . "
with the relegation of the möchengladbach team to the 2nd bundesliga , keller also left this soccer team in which he had served for more than two seasons .
although keller has a mind to retire , he has many opportunities and clearly need not worry about finding a place . he himself has frankly stated that there are currently as many as eight soccer teams that are interested in inviting him to join them .
however , this veteran goalkeeper who has served in league matches for the spanish primera liga , the english premiership , and the german bundesliga , said that what he ultimately chooses to do will be decided by his family . " my kid is already 9 years old . he has followed me around and stayed in three different countries , and has been to three different schools , and so i need to consider in my current choice what would be better for my family . "
in the gold cup competition that was concluded not long ago , keller put in an outstanding performance , helping the us team to win the title .
in the current america 's cup , he has , just as before , been given an important job to do by head coach bradley , but he clearly cannot win the match singlehanded . the us team , made up of " young guards , " is no match for such strong south american opponents as argentina and paraguay , and during these two matches the goal he guarded was breached seven times .
the next match against colombia will probably be the us team 's and keller 's last performance in this america 's cup competition .

xinhua news agency , beijing , july 28 ( correspondent cui junqiang ) when the olympic games are held next year , beijing is expected to turn into a sea of fresh flowers in hot and humid august .

ccdi , i'm worried about the effectiveness of your " anti-corruption deadline "
posted by [ guchanhuo ] at 2007-07-02 14:41:10 [ send a message ] [ full view ]
on may 30 , the ccdi gave corrupt bribe-takers all over the country a time limit of one month , that is , by june 30 , if they have not voluntarily confessed before the deadline , it will catch them .
as a man on the street , when i heard this , i couldn't help laughing . when the police are catching thieves , do they tell the thieves a month in advance , hurry and voluntarily confess , otherwise we'll catch you ? what kind of corruption fighting is that ? ? ?
isn't this just the same as explicitly telling corrupt officials in advance to get running and quickly shift the incriminating evidence ? ? ?
what 's the point in that ?
it'll definitely .. oh , i simply don't have the words .
to look at it another way , even if it really does work , how effective will it be ?
will it be able to inhibit and deter corrupt officials ?
we don't exclude the possibility that there will be cowards among them who will come and voluntarily confess , but won't there definitely be more who run ?
and regardless of whether or not there has been a significant result when the ccdi 's anti-corruption deadline has arrived , but it might have served another purpose .
that is that corrupt officials everywhere have all got the message and privately rejoice . they will all thank the ccdi .
one month is enough time to quickly transfer your assets .
if i were a corrupt official , i would absolutely be thinking this as well and i would absolutely not go to you to voluntarily declare them , either .
apart from celebrating their luck , corrupt officials will all be saying this : haha , thanks very much ..
ordinary people honestly can't understand it at all , what 's with this corruption fighting ? why is it so hard to just enforce it quickly and effectively , to take decisive action ?
and will this kind of corruption fighting be of much use ?
in summary , the ccdi , i'm worried about the effectiveness of your " anti-corruption deadline . "
not privatizing land is the bottom line for my reason and calmness

not privatizing land is the bottom line for my reason and calmness
i think i'm someone who doesn't easily lose his temper . that 's my own feeling , at least .
i've always been reasonable and calm when posting on this forum . very rare have been the occasions when i have lost my reason and talked nonsense .
i've also always had a great deal of trust and sincere expectations of the central party . no matter how much their reform measures didn't fit with my ideas , i could accept them all , and see this as one of their " characteristics . "
but as soon as land starts to be privatized ( or covertly privatized ) , the existing basis of all this will be lost .
it is better to lose a thousand soldiers than to give up an inch of land . our national land resources are indeed our greatest social resources .
the working people and the national land resources are the roots of a nation .
if only the character of the national land resources doesn't change , the character of the nation will not very easily alter . as soon as the character of the national land resources changes , then basically everything changes .
i'm not a member of the communist party , but i remember clearly that i have sworn this oath : " i love the motherland , i love the people ; i will study well and keep myself fit , to prepare for : contributing my effort to the cause of communism ! "
" i will study diligently , work hard , put hard work before leisure , and struggle for the cause of communism ! "
those people who like me have sworn these oaths and have loudly sung , " we are the heirs of socialism , " should be able to remember the oaths they have made if they are not too shameless .
if you have broken your own oath , then please honestly stand up and leave the side of " communism . " don't hoax the masses holding on to this placard , while thinking about how to sell the placard for a good price .
of course , i hope that all of these worries are needless . i hope that i will be able to maintain my reasonableness and calm always .
you should remember , " we are the heirs of socialism . "
if there 's nothing to inherit , what do we do then ?
one generation , experience of two eras
a while ago , someone asked : are there any thirty-year-old mao supporters ?
later , it was changed to twenty-year-olds .
actually people of this age group didn't experience the mao zedong era at all . i don't know if the person who asked this question has had their brains washed away or if they were born dumb .
in the cities , those with the most right to talk about the mao zedong era should be those who experienced those years for themselves . it 's the people who suffered the torments of +those years . that is to say , it should be people who were born between 1950 and 1960 .
after they were born , their parents were taking part in campaigns and didn't give their children the appropriate love .
just when they needed nutrition , they landed in three years of natural disaster and suffered the hardships of hunger .
when they started school , again they met with the cultural revolution , and several years of their education were wasted .
some of them even terminated their education forever . when they were 15-17 years old , and had not finished their education , they were forced to abandon their studies and respond to the call of the party to go into remote areas and villages and to reinforce the border areas .
after they started work , they thought that the laboring class was the most honorable , so they voluntarily chose the dirtiest and hardest work .
their honor was short-lived ; their mediocrity stuck with them for a lifetime .
when they were old enough to get married , getting married late , having children late and having only one child started with them .
+when they should have been getting +raises , the companies valued diplomas . because they didn't have diplomas , the +raises didn't come .
they worked hard to bring up their children and give their children a full basic education . when their children got into universities , they met with the double whammy of reform in the education system and reform of the state-owned enterprises . tuition fees went up , and they were laid off .
as their age increased day by day , they started to get ill , and again they were unlucky in meeting with the reform of the healthcare system . this meant that their diseased bodies couldn't get treatment because they couldn't pay the medical bills .
we can see that all of the unfairness in society fell mercilessly on the people of their generation .
but among these people there aren't many who are against mao zedong or who attack mao zedong .
why ?
they're not mao zedong 's slaves . they're flesh and blood , living right here among the people and groups of our society . the history of their personal experiences , from going to the remote areas and villages to being laid off from their jobs , encapsulates the social phenomena of two eras .
even though they are very unhappy about or even hate their wasted education , not having enough to eat , not having warm clothes , and some bad social phenomena during the mao zedong era , they still think the mao zedong era was good in terms of the national spirit , morality in personal relationships , and social practices
the parents of some of you netizens are precisely people of this generation . you can chat about it with them .

" injected watermelons , " " cancer bananas , " and " cardboard buns "
posted by [ wasteland beyond the great wall ] at 2007-07-19 22:02:57 [ send a message ] [ full view ] i remember there was news two years ago of watermelons in hainan being injected with chemical drugs by someone using a syringe . the result was that a load of hainan watermelons rotted in the field , and a lot of watermelon farmers got no return on their expenses .
cctv later did a follow-up report , and it turned out that they proved there had never been any such thing .
this report was weird from the beginning , because if you wanted to inject large watermelons with a syringe one by one , it would not only have no real point , it would also be impossible because of the amount of work .
my memory from last year is clearer . there were reports in the media saying that banana trees in hainan were suffering from a disease similar to human cancer , and that the diseased banana trees were very likely to die .
the result was that it was misunderstood by lots of people to be that if you ate bananas you'd get cancer . the result was the same again . the price of hainan bananas dropped steeply , making the banana farmers cry till they had no more tears left and complain on and on .
the reason why the two reports above both caused such a stir was because they directly touched on people 's most sensitive nerve , i.e. the issue of food safety .
if the media says such-and-such a food may threaten our health , then it will definitely get relayed ten times , and those ten times relayed a hundred times . towards the subject involved , people generally prefer to take an attitude of better to believe it than not . for a single person , eating a few less hainan watermelons , bananas , etc. , is no big deal , after all . but for the producers and sellers of those products , the impact gets very big .
not long ago , another storm burst in beijing over food safety . it was that people had gone so far as to use processed cardboard boxes as the filling when making buns because the price of pork had gone up . these were " cardboard buns . "
when i heard this i was also deeply shocked . i thought these stallholders have an amazing ability to find new tricks , if they've managed to think up this kind of method to cheat people . moreover , i then passed on this piece of news to many people and warned my family and friends not to buy any more buns when they go out on the streets .
but yesterday there was suddenly another piece of news saying that the cardboard buns report was fake news , and the whole thing was made up by one person . now at the same time as i'm feeling relieved i'm also very puzzled . what on earth is with the media these days ?
the facts of the matter that i've found out from reliable sources are : a temporary employee of the program " transparency " on the beijing tv lifestyle channel , zi something , took some pork filling himself that he'd bought from the market , flour and cardboard , and instructed wei someone and other people to soak the cardboard in water , mix it into the pork filling , and make it into buns .
zi something used a domestic digital video camera that he'd taken to record the manufacturing process , then edited it and used tricks to get it broadcast .
now the police have already detained the criminal suspect zi someone in accordance with the law , and will deal with him severely in accordance with the law .
since the bun incident occurred , the government has quickly organized the relevant departments to launch an investigation , and is conducting a thorough , comprehensive probe into beijing 's breakfast market to guarantee safety on the public 's dining tables .
since the truth of the incident was confirmed , beijing tv has made a public apology to the public and has learned an important lesson . it has investigated and dealt with the relevant responsible people severely , and will further strengthen management , stop up leak points , and resolutely put an end to false and untrue news reports .
but even though the cardboard buns were pure fabrications , when everyone will dare to go again with confidence to the stalls to buy buns is as yet an unknown .
this incident also reflects from one perspective the importance that the government places on food safety and the speed of its action . and to an extent it also shows that the dining tables of the beijing public are still fairly safe . the false alarm of the bun incident has also been a reminder for everyone !
to whom do we owe a duty in education ?
recently i've heard friends back home talking about some news from a school , and i have to have my say about this .
it all happened at a private middle school in shanghai - south west weiyu middle school .
the school decided to arrange the best teachers for three classes of students from the school 's own junior middle school who had signed contracts on direct admission to the senior middle school . and it got some young teachers with unimpressive teaching records and no experience of teaching high school seniors to teach some other classes which had been admitted from other schools after examination or had not signed contracts for admission to this school .
the reason was : the students who signed contracts agreed at that time not to take the examinations for other senior middle schools , so the school must guarantee the best teachers for them according to the agreement .
and the school 's attitude to the students in other classes was : you should give young teachers the opportunity to gain experience .
this couldn't but make me wonder , to whom do we really owe a duty in education ?
i remember when i studied at a key senior middle school many years ago , all of the students in my class were unhappy with the quality of one math teacher 's teaching . despite the complexity of things , we collectively signed a request that the school change our teacher .
in the end , the school really did give us another teacher , because the school 's promise to us was that it would treat every student equally , that it would do its duty by every student .
ten years ago i came to the us to study for a postgraduate degree .
one summer , when i was choosing my courses for the next semester , i found that all the elective courses the department had arranged were all heavily theoretical courses , and they hadn't arranged any of some more practical courses .
i went to talk to the head of the department and told him i thought there was a problem with the curriculum .
the head of the department admitted that the reason the curriculum did not include any practical courses was because of a lack of teachers . in one or two years when they had teachers , they would be able to offer them .
i remember i said to him then : " this is your problem , not mine .
the reason i came halfway round the world from shanghai to study at this school was because i was attracted by the introduction of your curriculum .
if you can't offer these courses , then don't put them in the introduction , otherwise it's false advertising . it 's failing to do your duty by me and my family . "
after listening to what i said , the department head thought for a while and then said , well , i'll see what we can do to solve this .
it may be already too late , because all of the courses have already been arranged and registered online .
three weeks later , the head of department came to talk to me , basically to tell me that his work was to take care of every student , including me .
he had listened to my advice and made his best efforts . he had added two practical electives , and hoped i could understand .
after this happened , i took a few courses taught by the head of department .
he never showed any bias against me because i'd complained to him . in every class he very fairly gave me an a.
the night before graduation , i heard his secretary say that he did everything he could for every student , but not all the students were grateful to him .
during the graduation ceremony , when i was making a speech on behalf of the honors students , i told the head of department : all of us in our hearts appreciated everything he'd done for us , because he had done all he could to do his duty by everyone of us .
i felt that i had made the right choice in life by coming to this school .
as i said this , i saw a glint of tears in the department head 's eyes .. if one day every education worker in china and the whole education system can do their duty by every single student , then i think china 's golden age won't be far away .
central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament
last sunday i took part in the central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament . i played for six and a half hours , and in the end our team won the championship .
this tournament was actually a warm-up tournament organized as preparation for taking part in the volleyball tournament at the summer sports games in new york(empire state games ) .
the coach split up central ny 's four participating men 's teams ( the high-school team , the college team , the over-35s team and the over-45s team ) and rearranged them into four-person teams , with a setter in each team , and started the matches .
the tournament rules were a lot of fun . you could only do back row attacks , you couldn't dink the ball inside the three-meter line , only one setter was allowed to block , and there were no substitutions .
so basically it was a test of spiking power and judgment and blocking in defense .
our team had a 2m opposite hitter , who was both our strongest man and our tallest man in attack . he took care of 60 % of our attacks and points in the tournament . one 1.85m setter solo blocked at the net and roofed a lot of attacks .
a 1.90m middle hitter made quite a few mistakes in attack because he was in the back row .
and then there was me , a 1.75m spiker , making the occasional sneak attack , with a quite acceptable success rate . i mainly received the other team 's cross-court spikes .
there were seven teams in total . first was a round robin . after my team won one match , the referee kept judging that our opposite hitter had fouled by stepping on the line while spiking . this had a big impact on our morale , and in no time we'd lost three matches in a row .
but after we'd lost , everyone calmed down , and our teamwork also came together during these three matches , so we started a winning streak .
after the round robin , my team had won three , lost three . because of our low scores , we were in 6th position .
then we started the playoffs . apart from the team in first place , all the teams placed 2 through 7 played against one another in the elimination round .
our team was psychologically and tactically settled , so we played hard and took no prisoners . we led all the way and got into the semi-finals .
our opponents in the semi-finals were good in attack but weak in defense . my arms got beaten black and blue , but when i did manage to save a hard spike , the level of satisfaction was twice that i got by scoring from spiking the ball myself .
i didn't even know what the final score was when we won .
the opponents in the final had balanced attack and defense . our serves broke a lot of their attacks , and we led from the beginning .
finally we had match point at 21-24 , and our opponents made two serves in a row that i couldn't control . at 23-24 our opposite hitter came over and said to me , it doesn't matter , it's only two shots .
the next shot came flying at me again , but it was okay , i passed it quite well , the setter back-passed it to the opposite hitter , and a hard spike finished the competition .
another thing about morality
i've already said a lot about morality for isolated free individuals .
on this subject i haven't got anything worth repeating .
what i want to say now concerns groups .
we often meet situations that require groups .
in these situations , there is a need for groups to have some morality .
we can often find some very good morals in groups that have achieved success .
this is no coincidence .
because for these causes or activities , we need to overcome some of the difficulties before us , to pull together , rid ourselves of those elements based on faith . i think it's those good morals that also play a role that can't be ignored .
at the very least , a group of people with very low moral standards will find it very difficult to complete any successful major project together . this can be predicted with great confidence .
perhaps it is because the wisdom that enables one to see the long term interests with reasoned and forward vision is a necessary quality for success in a group .
in reality , groups often use all kinds of methods to obtain an identity , for example , logos , jargon , beliefs , etc. etc. , and also morality .
only if you have rosé in the morning and rosé in the evening will your life be a bed of roses .
[ discussion ] how many times in your life have you been truly happy ?
a good friend of mine from senior middle school has finally got her visa and will set out at the end of august for a top school on the west coast of the usa to study for a postgraduate degree .
today a few people from my school got together , and we were truly glad for her . at last she'd got what she wanted .
seeing her so happy , i was really envious .
i thought , i'm all grown up , but i've only been that happy the time i passed my exams to get into senior middle school . at the time i'd never thought i'd be able to get into the well-known school ranked first or second in the entire city . later , i went predictably on to go to college and get a job . in all that time i was never so happy again .
when i passed the exams to get into college , it wasn't the one i'd aimed for before , so you couldn't say i was particularly happy .
during my time at college , the only thing that kept me going was that after graduating i could go up north and get together with a guy who i'd been in love with for two years .
but fate always intervenes , and a month before i graduated , he broke up with me . all of my fantasies from before collapsed .
later i just went back to the north to work . now i've been working for nearly two years , and i've made enough money for a mid-range car , but i haven't ever felt that happy again .
chatting with my good friend today , i was really able to feel her happiness . having slaved in preparation for a year , beside herself with worry , she has finally succeeded in getting abroad , and is going to start a new life . that feeling of a dream coming true really makes one very happy .
i haven't planned to carry on studying , and i don't like living overseas either , because i worked overseas for half a year before , and found that life abroad doesn't actually suit me .
having seen how happy my friend was , i couldn't help thinking , what are my goals ?
what can make me that happy again ?
perhaps it's finding someone who really loves me , and is willing to stay with me for the rest of our lives .
i think at that time i'll be excited enough to cry , just as my good friend said to me , when she passed the embassy interview and got her clearance certificate , she couldn't stop herself crying . a year of hard work and worry had finally been rewarded .
and me ?
in relationships , i've given the most meticulous care , putting my heart into it over and over . when will i also get what i want , and cry for happiness ?
perhaps i'm just a loser . i've never worried about my career , but what about my love life ?
when will my love life sort itself out ?
i've always felt down on this issue .
what about you , all you boys and girls ?
how many times in your lives have you been truly happy ?
a big advertisement for the school of architecture , south east university
haha , and this also counts as letting seu alumni know what 's going on at the school of architecture .
the latest first-hand news , plus my own comments -- refund guaranteed if it's fake .
dean wang , secretary an , professor li of the personnel office , as well as several other lecturers from the architectural technology and science teaching and research office , attended the presentation . i talked for an hour , and then everyone discussed it for about an hour and a half .
after the official presentation finished , professor zhang ( assistant to the dean of the school ) pulled me aside and said to me , let 's go into the back office , shut the door and have a talk .
he was extremely friendly . he closed the door and told me that at formal meetings there are some things that it's better not to say . he said that it was clear that i had no basic idea about my future income , and then told me some specifics about the incomes of lecturers at the school of architecture to stop me worrying .
dean wang had given an overview of the school of architecture before the presentation . he said that there were six key architecture-related programs in total across the country . there are two at seu , two at tsinghua , one at tongji , and one at tianjin univ. there are none apart from these .
he said that in the past few years the state has laid a special emphasis on conserving energy resources in building , " green " architecture , and architectural science and technology , and that seu wanted to bring in a lecturer in this area .
he said they'd received over 20 resumes that came in one after another , applying for this position . there were locals , there were japanese , there were americans ( apparently just one : me ) .
the school of architecture saw this as very important , and examined the applicants very carefully .
compared with some of the other architecture schools in colleges that i know , seu really is pretty cutting edge . tongji 's urban planning is probably a shade better than seu , but it seems that seu may still be a little ahead in terms of architectural design ( this is something i hadn't realized before . )
dean wang said that in the last two years the school of architecture 's funding had been more than adequate . it was one of the key schools being developed in the national 985 project .
he told me that last year , the government gave lump-sum funding of 10 million in development expenses to the seu soa . of this , 3.5 million was spent directly on buying books to enrich the school of architecture 's specialist library ( haha , even i want to give a big thumbs up to this : a generous deed !
) . the rest of it was almost all used buying equipment for experiments in my field .
it 's said that this aroused complaints from several academicians .
haha - by the way , i think they seem to have been ripped off on some imported equipment .
there 's one test system for measuring how airtight a room is . in america it's very common . i reckon you could definitely get it for 500 us dollars . but it turns out that seu spent 50,000 renminbi on it ! ! !
there 's some other things , too . a lot of colleges and departments at seu have now moved to the new campus at jiulong lake , but the school of architecture insists on staying . it says it wants to give the students a good architectural environment . the old campus still has some classic architecture for them to see , whereas the new campus doesn't have anything .
haha - it seems like the school of architecture has also requested and obtained another building because the other departments have all moved out .
so dean wang said straight out to me that in future he would be able to give me my own office .
i'm extremely embarrassed : when dean wang said this , i didn't have even the slightest reaction .
later , professor zhang pulled me aside and told me that this was not easy to get , because offices were in extremely short supply . some of the senior professors didn't even have their own offices .
this made me feel very unsettled . it seems i still don't , ah , understand the situation in this country .
overall , i've had a very pleasant trip to seu . the senior faculty and connected lecturers at the seu school of architecture have shown themselves to be extremely professional and hospitable , and have made a very good impression on me .
i hope everything goes well for seu in its development , and may the school of architecture continue to maintain its leading position !
the qinhuai river by the shade of lights and the splash of oars
even the finest feast must break up at last
two weeks ago i had lunch with my colleagues to say goodbye to our former boss .
this boss is really worthy of the name high-flying woman . she is extremely good to her subordinates like us , and we gladly worked for her , even doing overtime in the evenings and on weekends . this is not common among americans . she can also be considered the best boss i've ever worked for .
she has left the company and started a math tutorial class for elementary school and middle school students because she wants to look after her family and have more time to teach her kids .
i'm sure she will succeed whatever she does !
taking her love to africa , stephanie sun runs into a sandstorm , gets thrown at with a stone , and suffers scratches ( pictures )
caring for sick children .
showing off " mouse muscles . "
with world vision , for the second time stephanie sun has gone on in africa from congo to niger .
at a press conference yesterday , she admitted frankly that it was the most tiring journey she had ever made .
the weather in that area is scorching , the drinking water dirty , and when she visited a market she encountered people at a protest angrily throwing stones . even riding on a camel she was scratched by the saddle .
throughout the journey there was mishap after mishap , making her scream to herself several times , " i really want to go home ! "
shock at seeing the children 's malnutrition
having taken part in world vision 's campaigns to care for poor children for the past three consecutive years , stephanie sun calls herself an experienced spokesperson .
she took 30 bottles of vitamins , 40 flashlights , and 500 sweets to share with the local children .
she said that having accumulated a lot of experience , she knew that no matter how many little gifts she took , they would never be enough .
in niger , the most serious problem is that mothers have no understanding of the issues involved in child raising , so the children suffer from serious malnutrition .
on the eight-hour car journey from the capital of niger to the small town of dara 500 kilometers away , stephanie sun experienced a sandstorm rarely seen in the area .
the wind blew sand and brought rain , and the whole sky changed colors with the wind and clouds .
the jeep they were riding in shook more and more in the wind .
recalling that moment , stephanie sun shuddered at the memory , revealing that even though she was in the car , she was very afraid .
she only relaxed a little when she later heard local people explaining that the sandstorm was a sign of good luck , bringing rain and moisture to the soil .
with local residents .
pained by mothers ' problems raising children
when she arrived at dara , local officials held a dromedary welcome ceremony and invited stephanie sun to sit on the camel and be cheered by the local people .
but the camel was scared by the flashes and got completely out of control , nearly throwing stephanie sun to the ground .
finally stephanie sun jumped down herself , but her clothes were accidentally got ripped by a hook on the saddle which scratched her arm , leaving a small bloody streak about eight centimeters long .
on this trip , stephanie sun visited four sick local children with severe malnourishment . one of them was a baby four months old , weighing just 2.1 kilograms . it didn't look like a person at all .
she said : " when i saw him , my heart ached . his condition was really so extreme . but it must also be the mother 's problem . we should teach them correct ideas about nutrition . "
the key to chinese education - humanize it
key words : the key to chinese education - humanize it , the key to chinese education - humanize it
the goal of education is : to make the educated more able to live in and enjoy the existing social environment .
" live " everyone can easily understand , but perhaps everyone has just understood " enjoy " as simply " have fun . " actually , that 's not right . the scope of " enjoy " here is very broad .
live : this includes the strengthening of the body and the strengthening of the mind .
1 . strengthening of the body : through various forms of physical %pw , increase +physical strength , improve coordination , bring about steady improvement in sporting ability , so that you can meet the need for sufficient physical exercise and the needs of engaging with society .
2 . strengthening of the mind : to be able to recognize more clearly the society in which you find yourself , to know yourself , to learn to engage with other people , to learn the ability to adapt yourself as you live and to experience and enjoy .
above i've explained the goals of education , but the connection with this essay isn't very strong . now i'll talk about the key point : the key to chinese education - humanize it
the essence of humanization is : fully understanding the differences among individuals whom you cannot treat the same .
club original writing : a few common stages in learning about buffett
club original writing : a few common stages in learning about buffett : i'm strolling
1) stage one : introduction to buffett . you have a feeling of finally finding what you've been looking for , and immediately apply it in real life , but at this time your understanding of buffett 's ideas is not deep , not thorough . very often you'll make a lot of mistakes in using them , apply them incorrectly , and apply them blindly , so the results will be patchy .
2) stage two : " surpassing " buffett . after a period of learning and practice , almost every " intelligent person " is thinking about a few questions : for example , what should a buffett with chinese characteristics be like ?
does buffett 's theory need to be applied flexibly in china ?
can i do even better than buffett ?
so the main features of this stage are overconfidence and blind arrogance , looking for a buffett theory with chinese characteristics .
after a period of application , the results will generally still be patchy and inconsistent . if your luck is good , it's better to have some losses and quickly return to the mainstream .
3) stage three : you return to buffett . after a few wrong turns , you are finally able to realize that +you are an ordinary person , not a genius .
you should demand a little less of yourself . making a solid study of buffett is more than enough .
the simplest turns out to be the most effective . but the simple methods often include very deep thinking , and you must understand this thinking before you can better apply the simple through to the end .
the characteristics of this stage are results that are not substantial in the short term , but plentiful in the long term , and consistent .
stage four : " inflexible " buffett . having achieved consistent results , in this stage you are basically inflexible with regard to buffett 's theories . you take no notice at all of companies other than buffett 's .
you go on learning and deepening your understanding of buffett and applying it in real life . the characteristics of this stage are ever-improving results , consistency , and entering into a virtuous spiral .
the time that each person need for each stage varies . it depends on both your personal situation and your luck .

he is one of my old net friends . he posted this story in the group .
i'd rather write this story in this section .
i hope everyone reads this article . i have no expectation that it will be the so-called top pick , but sometimes there are some things , some truths , that you can understand and learn from a pithy little story .
this is a story that makes you feel very cold when you've finished reading it .
i really hope this really is just a story .. because i really do feel bad ..
on a highway in the mountain three bandits with guns spotted a pretty woman driver . they forced the mid-sized bus to stop and tried to take the woman driver off the bus for some fun . the woman driver desperately cried for help , but all the passengers on the bus were too scared to move .
just one scrawny middle-aged man responded and went to fight with them , but he was knocked to the ground and suffered injuries .
the man got really angry , vigorously shouting to everyone on the bus to stop the assault , but nobody responded , allowing the woman driver to be dragged into the bushes in the mountain .
half an hour later , the three bandits returned with the woman driver , whose clothes were disheveled .
the bus was going to start again . the woman driver told the scrawny man , who had been hurt and was bleeding , to get off the bus .
the man refused , and became argumentative .
hey , get off the bus ! my bus won't take you .
the middle-aged man became desperate and said : why are you being so unreasonable ? was i wrong to try to save you ?
you save me ?
what did you save me from ?
the woman driver flatly dismissed him , and a few passengers sniggered .
the middle-aged man got really angry , and cursed himself for not having the strength of a superhero .
but even if he hadn't succeeded in saving anyone , he didn't deserve to be turned out of the bus like this as a result . he firmly refused to get off .
for another thing , i've bought a ticket . i have a right to stay on the bus !
the driver turned away from him and said coldly : if you don't get off the bus , i'm not driving .
unexpectedly , all of the passengers on the bus who had just ignored the assault seemed to have just woken up and jointly told the man to get off the bus : quickly , get off the bus . we've got things to do , we can't wait .
a few strong passengers even wanted to come forward and drag the middle-aged man off the bus . it was enough to make you think of the story from " boule de suif " by maupassant .
the three bandits were grinning , laughing with satisfaction .
one of them , a dark-skinned thug with no principles , said shamelessly : us guys did everything we wanted with her !
the two other bandits also started talking trash : she 's my girlfriend , it's got damn-all to do with you !
there was uproar , until the man 's luggage was thrown out of the window of the bus , and then he was shoved out .
the bus once again drove steadily along the mountain road . the woman driver arranged her hair , and turned on the recorder .
the bus had nearly reached the top of a hill . when it had gone around this turn it would start going down . to the left of the bus was the road blasted out of the hillside . on the right was a cliff hundreds of feet high .
the bus quietly picked up speed . the woman driver 's face was completely composed , her two hands holding the steering wheel tightly , tears glittering in her eyes .
one of the bandits seemed to sense something and said : slow down , slow down , what the fuck are you trying to do ?
the woman driver didn't say anything , and the bus went faster and faster .
the bandit tried to run forward and grab the steering wheel , but the bus sped towards the cliff like an arrow from a bow ..
the next day the local newspapers reported : a tragedy occurred yesterday in fuhu mountain area . a mid-sized bus fell off a cliff .
there were no survivors among the driver and 13 passengers .
when the middle-aged man who had been thrown off the bus along the way saw the newspaper , he cried .
no-one knew what he was crying for , or why he cried .
darkness at the railroad station
recently i was away from home for a few days . i took the train , and discovered the nastiness of railway stations everywhere during the summer high season .
i wanted to understand more about what we should be aware of at railroad stations in various places .
i'm from changsha , so i'll first say a bit about the situation in changsha . everyone should be aware of this when they come to changsha !
1 . train tickets are always difficult to buy . at changsha railroad station , at every major holiday or the beginning and end of the summer and winter school vacation , you have absolutely no chance of getting a ticket . however early you go , queuing up is useless .
the best answer i've received when i asked is that the travel agencies book up all the tickets .
but with the ticket touts , you can pay a bit extra and have as many as you want .
2 . watch out for fake tickets . the tickets that the touts have are not necessarily real . shuangfeng and xinhua in hunan make their money , one from fake certificates and one from fake coins , so fake tickets is really just child 's play !
amending tickets is the most basic . some tickets look so real that even the train attendants can't tell the difference .
3 . who touched my money ? when buying things at stores at railroad stations , you absolutely must be careful !
if you want to give them small bills , haha , your bills are always missing a corner , so you have to use a large bill instead .
but when you give a large bill instead , once the store owner has got his hands on it , he will definitely say he can't change it , give it back to you and ask for those small bills with the missing corners again . at this point all you can do is take back a fake large bill !
4 . change from a magician . not every store owner will swap your big bills . that 's a crime , and the risks are pretty big !
so some " cowardly " store owners have to be magicians . you clearly see that your change is right when they count it , but when you have a chance to count it yourself , haha ! it 's short by a few bills .
5 . imported drinks everywhere . there aren't that many cafes at the railroad station , but if you go in one you'll understand .
a few glasses of rough red wine are sold at the price of martell . if you don't pay .. then even your mother might not recognize you .
6 . roses and guns . there are a lot of video booths around the railroad station . the titles of the films showing are very attractive to us common men , so if you go in and watch , you'll be surely taken to be a distinguished guest who wants a little relaxation . so a flower girl will come along straight away to keep you company . of course , you need to have enough money for a five-star hotel consumption , otherwise those big knives aren't always used for fighting foreign devils !
7 . ice and fire . if you've got a changsha accent or you know changsha very well , then don't ever think about getting a taxi in the square in front of the railroad station . the face on the taxi driver will make you understand what a snowstorm in june really is !
but if this is your first time in changsha , then congratulations ! never mind that you are going somewhere five minutes ' walk away , the driver will still be glad to take you to enjoy the sights of this national-level key tourism city , and will also let you breathe a lungful of secondhand smoke from the famous white sand brand and have a smell that it is loaded with the local specialty - betel flavoring .
of course , you have to pay for the transport yourself , don't you ?
nanjing metro drivers should get psychotherapy asap
key word : psychotherapy
according to a report from xinhua news agency , there was a suicide on the tracks in the nanjing metro on the evening of july 3 .
according to what the reporter says , " zhu zhengting , 22 , is a young metro driver . he had a nightmarish experience . when this reporter saw him yesterday , he seemed not to have recovered from his horror . he was sitting very straight up in his chair , and his eyes also looked a little glazed . "
obviously , this young driver 's nerves had received a big shock , and he urgently needed to get some psychotherapy , otherwise it would affect him for the rest of his life .
i don't know if everyone remembers the emergency rescue guy who saved a little girl in an abandoned oil well in the us +state of texas over a decade ago . after suffering long-term psychological torture , he eventually chose to kill himself and ended his painful life .
even though he had had basic psychotherapy at the time , people focused more on the little girl who had been rescued and overlooked precisely the one person who needed psychotherapy more . in the end , they failed to prevent this tragedy from happening .
in the same way , in the dover straits illegal immigration case a few years ago , it was said that the first british policeman to open the container went into shock right there .
afterwards the british authorities gave him over two months of psychotherapy before he got back to normal .
when people suffer a catastrophic shock , their minds are wounded very seriously . at this time , if you rely only on your own resources it's very difficult to make a full recovery , and often psychological scars will be left .
since these scars are very difficult for others to find , and if they do find them , there 's nothing they can do , many people involved in incidents will be in pain for the rest of their lives .
however , in our country people don't care enough about psychological wounds , particularly the families or employers of the people involved often think of it only after they've missed the best window for recovery . then it's already too late .
now that there is more diversity in the broadcast media , we often hear about shocking things . a lot of young women get hurt , and a lot of young children see their own parents suffer terrible injuries .
after these young people have been rescued , we very rarely hear that they have received psychological treatment . more often they are consoled by the love of their relatives .
although the victims can feel that they are now safe , the past harm becomes a scar that can never be removed and can be inflamed at any time . this affects the life of the person involved .
we can be grateful that this driver 's superiors quickly calmed him down , and were able to ease his psychological stress .
ultimately , the driver was not to blame for the accident , and the driver took measures when he discovered the situation . he had done what he should have done , but just hadn't stopped the tragedy from happening .
i'm sure anyone there would have been shocked by the accident that happened on the scene , even if they weren't the driver involved .
but other people didn't have any connection with the suicide . even if they were shocked , they would gradually forget as time went by .
but the driver involved isn't that lucky . he has to remember , and very likely will remember it all his life .
if he can free himself from this , then he 's lucky . if he can't free himself from it , then he'll often be tortured by this kind of shock .
the modern conception of health is much more comprehensive than in the past . psychological health is starting to be noticed by people .
the pity is that the psychological condition of humanity is very depressing . particularly in the cities , people 's psychological health is not at all what it should be . many people have psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent , and some people are not able to get enough attention when they encounter problems .
think of the lessons of the yang lijuan incident a while back . some irresponsible news outlets turned a sick person tormented by psychological problems into the subject of media hype , causing very bad impact on our society .
in the future we should avoid this kind of thing happening , otherwise our society really will turn into a sick society .
five teachers at dongkou no. 5 middle school feel overwhelmed after the first period of training in the new syllabus
key words : dongkou no. 5 middle school , teacher 's first period , new syllabus %pw five teachers from dongkou no. 5 middle school feel overwhelmed after the first period of training in the new syllabus from the morning of july 13 to the 15th , the first group of teachers from dongkou no. 5 middle school to take the training for the new syllabus got a real taste of the pressure and the motivation from the new syllabus .
at the same time , they also feel that the syllabus reform is a rare opportunity and challenge for the development of teaching at the school .
on the morning of the 13th , because roadwork on the stretch of road from shijiang in dongkou to longhui had caused a traffic jam , it was already past 1:00 p.m. by the time the teachers from dongkou no. 5 middle school and teachers from suining and other places made it to the municipal education bureau . the staff at the education bureau , who had long worked beyond their midday break , %pw still got the training materials that they had loaded into cars out of the cars again and did the necessary paperwork for us , and we got our training materials .
at 2.30 p.m. , the travel-weary teachers again braved the scorching heat and separately entered the multimedia classrooms at municipal no. 1 middle school , municipal no. 2 middle school and municipal no. 6 middle school to listen to lectures by the relevant experts .
over the next two days , the teachers listened to lectures by the editors of the teaching materials or listened to lessons learned from the experiences of teachers in provinces which had already started the new syllabus reform . some of the educational researchers or teachers who had attended province-level training in the new syllabus also talked about their experiences and what they had learned .
on the morning of the 15th , after finishing all of the training courses , we then went through assessment . the five teachers from dongkou no. 5 middle school had studied hard and never came in late or left earlier , so they passed the assessment easily , and all received a certificate of course completion .
during the training period , the dongkou no. 5 middle school teachers talked among themselves . at first we all felt that the new syllabus was rather unfamiliar , that this was a difficult task , that there was a lot of pressure , and that it was difficult to understand .
but after the training was finished , everyone thought that this was also an opportunity and a challenge .
we are all determined to work at adjusting the structure of our knowledge and complete the task of syllabus reform as satisfactorily as possible .
the second group of teachers to attend the new syllabus training arrived at the relevant location for training on the 16th .

happy to make friends with fans of celebrities
key words : fans of celebrities
i have a female friend whom i've never seen .
i said straight out to her , i really admire you !
because you express your love candidly .
she likes a male host of a popular entertainment program in taiwan , and has never hidden her feelings .
when this male host hosts a program in jinan , she flies to jinan ; when this male host goes to changsha to do a guest appearance , she flies to changsha .
the male host says in his book that a friend gave him a slingshot with no shot . pleasantly surprised , she told me , " i gave him that slingshot . "
she also helps to do an online magazine about this star . every issue she excitedly reads it with me .
i've always really liked talking with some people who frankly admit that they are a fan of such-and-such a celebrity .
these celebrities can be movie stars , can be sports stars , and of course can also be great figures .
i've never thought that these friends are shallow . i think they're very lovely .
these people are usually straightforward people . if they like someone , they like someone , if they don't like someone , they don't like them .
getting along with this kind of people can be very easy .
although they won't think 100 % about your feelings , you at least know what makes them tick . you also know that you will feel more secure if you spend time with them .
these people are also very honest .
you should know that it also takes courage to dare to express your likings .
it 's precisely because of this that a lot of people just secretly like a person their entire life , or they might even look down a little on those people who barefacedly say they are a fan of so-and-so .
i think honesty is a person 's greatest strong point , being honest with friends and being honest with yourself .
but it is actually very hard to do that .
if one can love a celebrity , it also proves that a part of his heart is selfless .
some of my friends are fans of celebrities .
sometimes they can go through a lot of hardship to get a look at this celebrity . they can sacrifice many things , tighten their belts and scrimp and save , holding a placard in their left hand and pressing a camera button with their right , while shouting on and on .
you could say they are very silly or childish , but it takes selflessness to love someone without looking for anything in return .
because in reality , there are far too many who love themselves , think they're great , and think little of other people . so this bit of selflessness seems to be quite precious .
so when everyone starts chatting and saying that the celebrity they like is so-and-so , if someone says , i've never made anyone my idol ..
haha , then you should watch out .
teresa cheung the person
key words : teresa cheung
by chance i had an opportunity to see an episode of " kangxi come " that i hadn't seen for a long time . the main guest was teresa cheung .
thinking back , it was when she was promoting " color blossoms . "
the time when i saw " colour blossoms " was the days when i was mad about erotic movies .
at the time i thought it was extraordinary that sex movies could be filmed in such an esthetic way . sometimes they were also really interesting and were called erotic movies .
actually , i haven't seen many erotic movies , but they cover quite a lot of countries .
the first ones i saw were from korea and japan .
later i also saw quite a lot from third world countries and some from latin america and europe . but i didn't see many hollywood or french movies .
i couldn't bear to delete two of them from my computer . one is " plum blossom , " and the other is just " color blossoms . "
the first half of " color blossoms " is quite good . they are all first-timers and act very energetically . the direction is also very measured .
then in the second half it's a bit perverted , i can't take it at all .
actually , what i want to say is that teresa cheung said on the program that her boyfriends have included those of almost every nationality in the world , except for africans .
at present , she has four boyfriends .
on this issue , i'm afraid the average person would find it unacceptable and would say this person is a slut .
but the key point in this issue is that she was very honest when she was talking about these issues . there wasn't a hint of an expression that would make people uncomfortable .
she also talked about her view of love .
for example , both parties should keep their money separate .
i guess their identities should also be independent . each one controls their own fate .
because i know that for people who are in love , love is alive , is selfish . how could it allow the person you love to accept the love of another person at the same time ?
going by my experience and guesswork , most likely teresa cheung 's love is no longer a simple entanglement . she must be going for the classic relationship with a younger man .
in a relationship with a younger man , the older woman can accommodate anything , including having several toyboys at the same time . at the same time , the younger man can attach himself without reservation to the older woman because of her attractiveness and maternal nature , but maybe doesn't mind whether he is the only one , etc. , etc.
but i also felt from what teresa cheung said that she is someone who really knows how to enjoy life .
for example , she is +crazily passionate about travel .
so i also have reason to believe that her life is also very exciting .
if it was the past me , i'm afraid i would still not be able to accept this kind of thing .
just like now , i've come to accept a lot of people . actually , this hasn't got that much to do with tolerance or intolerance , it's just about thinking it over in your own mind , then there are no absolute loves or hates .
these people , like passer-by a , friend b , zhang ziyi , good friend c , and sister lotus .
looking at other people 's lives , i am an onlooker , so to other people , mustn't i also be the main character in my own life ?
it 's just like , even though i'm not in jianghu , there are always stories about me in jianghu .
people always need a spice of entertainment
key words : spice of entertainment
for people , life is a tiring thing , so it's best if we have a spice of entertainment .
either laughing at ourselves or watching jokes from the people around us , gossiping about other people .
for example , just going to the tianya " celebrity gossip " board for a bit of relaxation .
in there , everyone says whatever they want , but you should of course have a bit of ability to distinguish between right and wrong , because there 's all kinds of " trickery . "
the results of " say what you want " are that you don't even know what you're saying yourself , but you want to be clear what it is you're reading .
little s calls tsai kang-yung a " scholar . "
if i also count as one , then it's the kind who has read some books , but hasn't yet really grasped them .
at least i always know my own shortcomings .
but , the +good thing is that i got a few things that i myself wanted to get when i did this bit of reading .
it also happens that i like just pondering over things , too . so i was pondering and reading at the same time , but i got quite a few ideas clear . a lot of things clicked into place .
so , gradually i got into some habits , like telling myself to be a bit harder on myself and a bit better to other people .
when running into a problem with some matter , first look for the cause in yourself .
use your head in the way you do things and follow your heart in dealing with relationships .
keep a low profile and do things in a low key .
but , you know , not all people are that nice . they'll always be selfish , and always think about their own gains and losses . there'll always be times when they should be using their heads , but they follow their hearts into a big mess , and times when they should be following their hearts , but they're still using f**king logic like there 's no tomorrow .
but at least there is a good side : i never regret the choices i've made .
if i've done it then i've done it ; if i've messed up , then i live with it .
what 's the point in thinking about all that useless stuff ?
at least i'm not one of those people who likes to be all po-faced and puff myself up as a scholar . i'm just an ordinary person , too .
where i'm different from other people is just that i don't have to be cynical . i'm a bit more reasonable in dealing with matters in general .
or , for example , my trust is particularly strong .
once i trust someone , then i'll think that everything about him is good .
even if there are shortcomings , i'm still perfectly happy to forgive them .
even though i'm not the type of person to call people friends readily , i'm the kind who thinks about his friends and puts himself in their shoes .
but i'm also therefore pretty strict in choosing my friends .
i also don't understand at all why there are still so many people today who trust so much everything the newspapers say .
or is it that in their minds , today 's reports are still sacred like those of the past ?
but then , in this world , there are still a lot of things that i don't understand .
jokes .
giving myself a slap on the face .
song dandan 's " the secrets of happiness , " warm and moving
key words : song dandan , the secrets of happiness
a while ago , i read in the newspaper that song dandan had published a new book called " the secrets of happiness . "
i really wanted to read it .
because i thought that as a woman of this age , with this kind of profession , she had experienced changes in her family and in her career . having gone through these , what are her views on herself and on life ?
as expected , i was not disappointed . after i read it , i had two feelings . first , i got an electric shock : looking at someone else 's life , you can see the image of your own life just the same . second , i was also very much moved . it was full of things like the details of her love for her family .
why did i get an electric shock ?
in the book , song dandan writes , " i missed an important principle in life : one is happier to give than to receive .
i was always busy giving , busy making myself happy .
i never received , and never understood how to . i neglected to allow other people to give , which is to say , i neglected other people 's right to make themselves happy . "
i find that i've also been always enjoying this kind of happiness . in the future perhaps i should be a bit more careful .
it requires a certain amount of courage for a person to look steadily on their own past , and lay it all out in front of everyone .
in here she includes her first love , her failed marriage with ying da and her deep dissection of herself and her love for her son .
this book has another praiseworthy aspect , because at first the publisher must have given her a lot of pressure to focus more on cases like " i love my family , " " house of the flying daggers " and the series of sketches with zhao benshan .
but she probably stood her ground . she only mentions zhao benshan a bit at the end , and as for " house of the flying daggers " and " i love my family , " she hardly mentions them .
the whole book is full of the warm and moving reflections of a 40-year-old woman on life , on love , on family , and on love for the family .
busy vacation
key words : vacation , busy
i've been on vacation for nearly a week , but i haven't had any time at all to relax .
i went to the college for a meeting , and i have to prepare the materials for going on a trip next week for a conference , and a speech for the conference .
this vacation will be very busy .
barring accidents , according to my schedule i have three conferences to attend and four or five cities to go to .
my life has suddenly been filled up with many things : the same things , different things . i've almost forgotten how i used to spend the vacations before .
it seems that in my memory , i still didn't have much relaxation time .
it 's just that before i still had long periods of time that i could arrange myself , but this year it seems like there 's less time .
is this a good thing ? or a bad thing ?
being busy , you feel a bit more substantial , but if there 's no results or no gains for your busy work , then there is much less point to being busy .
but sometimes it seems that life can't be completely measured in terms of results . life is to be gradually experienced . solidity and stability , substance and pleasure are also a kind of gains , even though sometimes this gain can't be measured using society 's appraisal standards .
every person needs confirmation from society 's values and their own values . if we can't get both , what do we do ?
marxism teaches us that we should take the values of society as primary , and proposes that individuals should contribute to society . but in reality , a healthy , wholesome society should also fully respect an individual 's wishes and value choices , and should create the conditions in which personal values can be realized .
as all this occurred to my mind all of a sudden , i'm discovering more and more that marxist principles really are very effective .
the truth really is like this , but when it actually comes to real life , people often find they are still bound to feel confused .
even if the realization of personal values doesn't interfere with society 's values , will each one of us practical individuals be content with the realization of our own real values so much that we ignore the judgment of society ?
or can the satisfaction with our own values be separated from the judgment of society ?
i'd say it's very difficult .
so each of us is bound to pursue the extraordinary and beyond , even as we are working to be a good ordinary person . and if we waste our lives , we also will always blame ourselves .
this could be said to be one side of socialized man .
being on vacation i still feel more or less a bit relaxed .
at least , i have time to watch some dvds , and i can relax myself and have fun for a while .
i can say what i want , but i still have to work , and life goes on just the same .
next week i have to go to xi'an again for a conference .
it 's a city that i've never been to , but that i don't seem to much like , because of some " prejudices . "
i hope that this trip can change my impression of the city , haha .
" having a very feminist life "
key words : men , feminism , era
this afternoon , ying called me . we chatted for a while , and then my watching " happy boys " came up .
ying said : " no way ! you are too cute . you finish watching supergirls and then watch happy boys . you're just a dedicated viewer of hunan satellite tv. "
i said that was true .
ying said she had seen some of the selection programs for the boys , and thought they were all girly boys . i also thought the same , but i told her that the top four contestants had been selected from the five on happy boys . next week three will be selected from the four . they were singing really well , each of them was excellent .
ying , who studies popular culture and consumer culture , also said excitedly that she would have a look too next week . after all , we had got to the most critical stage of the competition , and it would definitely be worth watching . and taking an interest in this would also be good for stocking up on some examples for future research .
then we started talking again about how this is an era of male beauty .
men have finally turned from " spectators " into " the spectated , " whereas , women , who had previously been the object , have become the subject . they can appreciate and face various male talent shows in this era of male beauty from the perspective of the observer .
ying said this was women 's liberation , a sign of feminism .
then next she said , " don't you think you are now having a very feminist life ? "
when i heard what ying said , i was so amused that i laughed out loud .
this remark itself is filled with the meaning of feminism , it's just that i don't have a good capacity for analysis like ying 's that can explain all these things more deeply and clearly .
i like chen chusheng 's singing on happy boys very much . it 's got a very special texture , a power to pierce space and time right to your heart ; it's very pure and very comforting .
su xing sings in many different styles , and is full of feeling . he looks handsome and cultured , but he gives you a lively , relaxed feeling .
zhang jie sings with great clarity and power , and particularly the two songs he nailed today , " the way you look " and " past goes with the wind , " are both old songs that i like very much , they left a deep impression .
wei chen has a cute , innocent face that extremely resembles lu yi 's . it 's said that he attracts a lot of girls , and of course his voice isn't bad .
the next clash between these four strong competitors should be very good to watch .
i'm looking forward to watching their great performances next week .
random thoughts on kimchi , june 29
key words : kimchi , seoul
random thoughts on kimchi , june 29 i switched on international roaming , but when i got off the plane , my cell phone seemed to have had its power cut . it still didn't have even one bar of signal . maybe gsm 's effective coverage means the scope of the " heart , " and it will be effective from the next billing date .
these few days , i'm going to lose contact with everyone temporarily . haha , will there be anyone who worries about me because of this ?
i've turned on their secretary system , just want to be sure who 's missing me .
it doesn't matter if it's business or personal .
but the question is , who am i hoping will miss me ?
my heart has turned completely blank again . i don't know when it started .
i don't understand why there are always some people that you want to keep hold of but can't , and some people that you don't want to keep hold of but who always think that they can squeeze themselves in . is it like when you're talking about markets ?
but can i always let the " white gloves " block up my heart , no matter whether or not there is a place for you ?
but substance and heart cannot be talked about as if they were the same after all !
our car is driving along the expressway to busan .
our department head is driving silently , and i don't have anything to say .
anyway , he doesn't understand chinese and doesn't understand english , either , and me , i can only speak a very few very awkward sentences of english .
i'm looking at the computer , rather bored , punching the keyboard . in the car , apart from the sound of the keyboard , there 's only the pleasant voice of a korean girl giving directions on the gprs . everything is too -- rather silent .
outside the window , all that 's left to see is never-ending green and a grey-blue sky .
silence is unusual for my personality .
what i hadn't expected is that the only thing in this country that gives me a sense of fellow feeling is actually english .
apart from making me dizzy like from radiation , those little circles i see everywhere have no other function at all .
i think south korea definitely will not produce compasses .
because there 's no demand in the market .
seoul is very clean , thoroughly clean , unfailingly clean .
it 's just a pity that in the few days i am in seoul , i won't have time to go anywhere but my workplace and the department store . my entire impression is limited to what i see along the streets .
luckily , everything was still very good !
koreans are polite in a traditional way . they smile meticulously , listen carefully . they're elegant and quiet .
everything i've been able to notice is the beautiful surface : traditional customs , ancient architectural styles , and absolutely scrupulous courtesy .
is this hypocritical ?
then it's better to be a bit hypocritical , at least everyone is polite !
if you don't see the ugly things , maybe you'll think they don't exist .
korean cuisine is really amazing !
it 's just that i don't like it . i don't understand why they suffer themselves going back and forth , when it's only kimchi in various forms and on an assortment platter . of course , there must be seaweed .
then , thinking again about it , the amount that korean people know about their cuisine is still very awesome . they can tell the difference between kimchi that 's been pickled above ground and underground or for different lengths of time , and with up to minute precision .
this shows , from one perspective , that the seriousness of koreans might have something to do with the kimchi served from morning till night .
my only headache is that i don't know what kind of recipe with kimchi again somehow integrated will it have at the japanese tofu restaurant that the head of department is going to take us to .
thinking of the chinese food last night , i feel like i want to cry . it was completely koreanized . the only thing i could eat turned out to be kimchi .
a-ha , thanks to china southern airlines co. and the kimchi it offers together with its in-flight meals .
the airline must think that i want to start getting used to it from the moment i get on the plane .
two more days before i will go back to my country . if there still isn't anyone to miss , then i can still miss a meal of auntie 's braised pork !
after all , satisfaction for the stomach comes a bit more directly than for the heart .
of course , it has nothing at all to do with kimchi .
two trees
two trees : one is me , one was my brother-in-law .
we gave each other shade , and looked after each other .
in my generation they all have a lot of children , but i only have sisters , no brothers . so the presence of my brother-in-law seemed extremely important .
we both come from poor backgrounds . we had to take part in doing a lot of domestic chores when we were very small . even though i always worked hard to act like a man and wanted to do my work like an expert , i never ever got my father 's ' approval .
ever since i was small , i've suffered from sleepwalking , but it wasn't too serious . but when i was doing work around the house , it's hard to stop my mind wandering .
for example , my father told me to put some plaster on the chimney at our old house . i nimbly climbed up onto the roof to do it .
the chimney got plastered ok , but when it rained , water leaked into the room . the reason was that i had trodden on and broken the roof tiles .
another example , my father told me to change a light bulb , one of those old-fashioned incandescent bulbs .
when i'd climbed onto the stool , the light bulb in my hand slipped from my hand , fell onto the concrete and smashed .
i've got countless examples like this , so when my brother-in-law came to live with us , he naturally took over these various little jobs , and did them really beautifully and with no need to pay any labor cost .
and i gleefully hid in a corner reading light novels thick as bricks .
later we grew up into two trees , two trees big enough to support the home of a family .
and my father could not stop himself shrinking . sitting in a wheelchair , he became a quiet bush in the leafy shade .
no-one expected that things suddenly changed : at 50 , my brother-in-law suddenly contracted a serious illness . that great tree , so vital and bushy on the surface , came so close to that terrifying death in a way that was hard to believe .
on that summer 's day , the sunlight bright enough to knock you out , the doctor outside the operating room at peking union medical college hospital said casually : it's not worth operating .
he can survive another two months at the most .
at that moment it was like i'd been hit by a stray bullet . my spirit left my body for an instant , and i stood there blankly like an idiot .
i started sleepwalking again . i saw the old courtyard in our home , and the shadow of my young brother-in-law busy in the courtyard .
it was the shrill sound of my elder sister 's crying that woke me up . i hastily ran to hug my sister , who slumped into sitting on the floor of the hospital corridor , and as we hugged the tears were streaming down our faces .
the bright sunshine suddenly disappeared , and wave after wave of blackness appeared in front of me .
after we came back from beijing to our city here , my brother-in-law very quickly found out what his condition was . after he and my sister cried together for a while , his mood lightened instead .
my brother-in-law started to methodically arrange for what would happen after his death . for example , he told his son : look after your grandmother for me . when the old lady dies , she wants to be buried in the same grave as your grandfather ; and how to open the grave when the remains are put together .
go and see your maternal grandfather often , and buy him some useful things when it's the new year or holidays .
for example , he told my younger sister : when i'm gone , you should often come and see your sister , she is sure to be extremely lonely on her own .
i took as much time as i could to go and see him , but when he saw me his expression was one of shame .
we often had nothing to say , just as two plants that have life but have no ability to converse .
these are two adult trees . experience of wind and rain has made us able to face hardship calmly . do you need to pass anything more on to me ?
it seemed there was no need .
because in your heart you know : after you've gone , my sister , the children you and my sister had , and this big family can only rely on the tree that is me to support them alone .
no-one forced me to be a man .
being a man , whether you want to or not , you must brace your back without hesitation and take up the burden .
the only pity is : why did your tree have to wither so very early ? you should have had a full and flourishing old age .
the day you went was the first day of the new year .
just at the time when all the chinese people in the world were rejoicing and welcoming the new spring , you left , alone .
perhaps in another space and time , another living baby sprout has just been born ?
x minutes of my life
the reason for such a trendy-looking title is that at that moment of extreme desperation , my racing brain had no chance to take note of the time .
like an innocent person who receives a death penalty judgment out of the blue - would he still calmly and leisurely pick over the grammatical errors in the " verdict ? "
it was a winter 's day , and it was very cold in the youth center .
and i don't know whose duty day it was , but the heater hadn't been fired up for a day .
because there was word of a strong earthquake , when we went home in the evening , we were also reluctant to restart the fire .
on the long plank-bed that could sleep 12 people , we four wrapped ourselves in cotton-padded quilts and while shivering , played a poker game of " three-on-one " under the dim lamplight to win food coupons .
suddenly a noise thundered towards us from afar . we few looked at one another for just an instant , then immediately realized that a disaster had struck .
then we threw down the cards in our hands , flew down to the floor and through the two narrow doorways , scrambled to get out .
just at the moment that we ran out of the dormitory , the poor thatched dwelling built with stones disintegrated in an instant .
we had rushed out into the yard , and it was like we were standing on a pitching and rolling boat . we fell back and forth like weebles and couldn't anchor ourselves .
within a few seconds , all of the buildings around us , +unlike the sedate images of days past , let out a strange " jiaah " noise one after another as they danced a half-crazed break dance before collapsing on themselves in a puff of smoke and dust .
the power cables above our heads naturally couldn't bear being the odd ones out , and snapped " crack crack , " then fled like whips in all directions .
meanwhile , in front of us and behind us , the rampaging quake demon was setting off ceremonial fireworks to celebrate his own creation . the spectacular earthquake lights could rival the stage effects in any major war movie , and the rumbling sound of the earth was like war drums urging on the fighting . they tortured every weakened nerve .
at that time we only had one idea : the human race 's last day had come !
i could imagine it : the earth under our feet would open up with a crash , and boiling lava like molten steel would issue its flaming invitation , and humans , like bugs , would be cast in free-fall into the lava one after another . too stingy to give off a whiff of blue smoke , they would vanish in an instant .
my spine felt comfortably numb , as though it had been injected with freezing water . in the ashy darkness the faces of my companions floated unsteadily like paper masks .
i was thinking : is this how humanity bids farewell to this wonderful world ? will tens of thousands of years of civilization vanish without a trace now ?
but i wasn't yet 20 years old ! the blossom of my youth had only just started to bloom , and i had only just perceived the joy of existence . i was so unwilling to leave beautiful life !
and my parents , my family ? where are you ? what are you now doing ? are you still living in this world ?
at the moment when i faced the savage grinning face of death , i missed you so much !
.. in my confusion , i don't know how long it was before i finally realized with joy that the sound of the earthquake was getting quieter little by little , the shaking of the earth was slowing little by little , and the fireworks were also no longer sparkling above my head .
a tanker , tossing on stormy seas , finally slowly sailed into a calm harbor .
a young and easily breakable heart was carefully returned to its original state after going through a manic ransacking .
oh , earth , my home , you've finally allowed us to feel again a home 's warmth and closeness !
a feeling of survivor 's luck ran slowly like warm water from beneath my feet through my whole body .
when yu doudou , who had just turned 17 , could stand steadily , she faced the yard of the youth center that had once been calm and warm , but now was all broken-down ruins , and suddenly started sobbing loudly .
everyone was infected , and hot tears flowed everywhere .
snow started to fall from the sky . was it a lament floating down for the misfortunes of humanity ?
that year , the haicheng earthquake claimed the lives of as many as 1,000 people .
an expert said : it 's lucky the forecasts came in time , and that it happened before people had gone to bed , otherwise the strong earthquake , measuring 7.3 , would have claimed the lives of at least 100,000 people !
only a year later , the tangshan earthquake erupted , and more than 200,000 people died .
the things that go on in the village
there are many households in the village . of them all , the members of a family called south are the most disliked . in the village there 's a common saying that goes : guard against fire , guard against robbery , and guard against the souths .
actually , the south family are pretty honest .
some people steal a melon or something from someone else 's land at any time . and the south family are just committing some petty theft at the worst and do not deserve to be isolated by the whole village .
no-one has clean hands , so who have we souths offended ?
the souths started to organize some very worthy activities , showing that this village was first established by the ancestors of the south family , that the souths had always been a major rice-growing family , and that they had produced quite a number of famous people in history . in addition , they had made a great contribution to improving the village .
at that same time , the souths warmly invited the village cadres to their home to have a look and sit for a while .
in all , the south family are very aspiring and proactive , striving to be powerful .
not long ago , the west family did something very disgraceful . they damaged the souths ' young crops very badly .
the family called west are known throughout the village for matchmaking . all of the young guys in the village have something to thank the wests for .
if it weren't for the good matchmaking of the wests , how would each of you families and households be able to take good care of production ?
but this time , the wests bashed down the souths ' young crops with illegal bricks in a place called hongdong . it was truly terrible , and the whole village was furious . they all said that there are no good people in the west family .
the souths demanded an explanation from the wests , attracting the sympathy of everyone in the village .
everyone in the village poured abuse on the wests .
thus , the battlefield shifted to the west 's house .
the souths were determined to project a good image before the 17th village meeting , to make the south family , which is most populous and thriving , developed .
even though the cadres in the village urge everyone to get along harmoniously with one another every day , this village named china is never peaceful .
the most annoying thing is , in just three short months , even the pigs have started oinking crazily and stirring up trouble . they want to raise their price !
two years ago , the chickens in every village were squawking about catching a cold . didn't they all get killed ?
pigs , why don't you think ?
if you talk about calling for a revolution again , you'll have no way of avoiding the chop !
meanwhile , the america village and britain village that are used to bullying people don't seem peaceable either even though they are wealthy .
there are a few vagabonds who knocked down the tall building in america village today and will throw some exploding pots in the metro in britain village tomorrow . it 's enough to make anyone frightened , isn't it ?
because of this , most people in china village think that even though it is terrible not to be able to afford a place to stay , not to be able to afford to go to the doctor and not to be able to afford to go to school , if they can peacefully farm some land , do some jobs , make a few connections , then they have already entered a new era .
the souths , the wests - what family hasn't got skeletons in its cupboard ?
just take the wan family , who live in a little +bay to the southeast of the village . even though the head of that household is a bit shameless , isn't our great china village willing to take this family in all the same ?
looking to the 2008 inter-village sports contest that will be held in our china village , let 's have less of the bad things that have happened in the village , and let 's deal with the bad kids in the village .
every family , every household , light the lamps and stoke the fires . if you have money , give money ; if you can work , then work .
when the time comes , everyone goes to the village common to see a golden egg laid in the bird 's nest !
( offscreen , fading out : a golden egg or a silver egg ? to all our viewers , to all our viewers , i'm your host on village tv , brother yong .. )

lenovo about to bring out high-end thinkpad t61p
key words : lenovo , thinkpad
the thinkpad t61p , which lenovo will release on july 17 ( us time ) , will also be the highest-spec t series notebook computer , and it has given us a rather nice surprise : uwb ( wisair ultra wideband ) .
that 's right , just like the r400 notebook computer , linked to a high-speed transmission wireless expansion slot .
( via ) this 15.4 inch notebook computer features the santa rosa processor and nvidia quadro fx 570m graphics chipsets , and of course the protective element of the t61's toughened metal rollcage for sure . but the price is cheaper than expected : only asking for about 15,000 renminbi .
watching big movies without a screen , pictures released of cell phone projector
key words : cell phone
korean company iljin display has brought out a laser projector module no bigger than a coin .
because the module is so small in size , this kind of projector module could even be installed in a cell phone . on a wall , you can see a projection seven inches in size .
( via ) traditional projectors include three different lcd screens , each responsible for outputting a different video signal : red , green and blue . but this mini-projector can switch among the three colors by using only a single lcd screen . this way it has cut the size and production costs of the projector .
an official statement says that the lcd screen in this projector is only 0.24 inches in size , and could very easily be integrated into a cell phone .
currently more than half of the cell phones on the market include a camera , and it is estimated that cell phones with internal projectors will soon appear on the market . but whether the market will embrace them is really very difficult to say .

state of emergency ends ; palestinian prime minister fayyad to set up new government
today is the end of the one-month state of emergency implemented by the palestinian authority after hamas militants attacked and occupied the gaza strip . prime minister fayyad tendered resignation temporarily , but was thereupon tasked with responsibility for setting up a new government .
agriculture and social affairs minister habash told afp , " prime minister fayyad submitted his written resignation to president abbas . the president accepted it and at the same time asked him to set up a new cabinet government with responsibility for handling daily affairs . "
abbas confidant amr told afp that fayyad had submitted his written resignation , but abbas ordered him to " execute his current duties until he sets up a new government . "
the submission of a written resignation by fayyad , a much respected economist , was only a procedural resignation and will not affect his prime minister status .
fayyad started leading the palestinian emergency cabinet from the 17th of last month , with responsibility for executing the state of emergency order announced by abbas after hamas violently attacked and occupied gaza .
according to the constitution of the palestinian autonomous government , a state of emergency cannot exceed 30 days without parliamentary approval . however , the autonomous parliament is now paralyzed .
the authority of the emergency government ends today .
wto representatives raise new proposals ; hope of breaking stalemate in the doha round of talks
with the hope of breaking the stalemate in the doha round of trade talks , key wto negotiation representatives today proposed a large cut in farm subsidies by the us and a sharp reduction in industrial product import tariffs by developing countries .
an official said that the new " draft model " demands that the us reduce its annual farm subsidies from the current allowed amount of us$ 19 billion to us$ 16.2 billion , and for developing countries to adjust industrial product import tariffs down to less than 23 % .
these proposals aim to break the almost six years of stalemate in the doha round of talks , and to help the 150 wto members come to a compromise agreement .
wto secretary lamy called these proposals " a fair and reasonable foundation for concluding a balanced and development-oriented agreement that has ambitious goals . "
lamy said , " member countries will not be completely satisfied with the content of the proposals , but currently there are fewer problems concerning differences than problems creating consensus . "
he called for intensive talks to be held in the next few weeks .
strong quake affects parts production ; japanese automotive plants reduce or stop production
japan was hit with a strong earthquake this week , causing a shortage in automotive parts . automakers such as toyota and nissan said today that they would scale back production , even suspending domestic car production .
japan was hit with a strong 6.8 richter magnitude earthquake two days ago . automotive parts manufacturer riken was forced to suspend operation of its factory in northwest tokyo , which then impacted production of automotive plants .
toyota will suspend domestic car production from tonight until the 21st , said a spokeswoman from toyota , the world 's top-selling automaker .
nissan spokesperson nakagawa said that from the day after tomorrow to the 23rd , two out of three nissan plants in japan would suspend some production operations , and the situation will be reassessed during the weekend .

suzuki auto said that it would partially suspend production for three days starting tomorrow . japan 's fuji heavy industries , which produces subaru vehicles , will also suspend production of small cars starting tomorrow and assess the situation on the 21st .
and honda motor said that next week it might suspend some production line operations that rely on parts supplies .

indonesia cancels sale of british eco-friendly branded bag due to worries over chaotic buying stampede
agents said today that indonesia has cancelled sale activities for the british eco-friendly branded bag , in view of the chaos triggered by a wave of buying stampede in hong kong earlier this month .
the manager of branded shop " on pedder " located in the upscale plaza indonesia said , " we cancelled the market launch for the eco-friendly bag in view of what happened in hong kong .
it 's not worth it if people are fighting over a 140,000 rupiah ( about nt$ 494 ) bag . "
thousands of hong kong people gathered outside sale stores on the 6th , ready to rush to buy the limited quantity eco-friendly bag designed by british designer anya hindmarch , printed " i'm not a plastic bag . " however , the stores refused to open their doors , causing the situation to become chaotic .
this fine product calling for eco-friendliness is trying to replace plastic bags , but unexpectedly became an overnight fashion icon in london and new york , triggering a buying stampede , with prices on the ebay auction website already skyrocketing to several times the retail price .
" on pedder , " the only authorized seller in indonesia , expressed uncertainty whether to start selling in a few days .
hostage crisis countdown ; south korea and taliban negotiate directly
the afghani taliban have kidnapped 23 south korean hostages and set as a final deadline sunset today , demanding that south korea withdraw its troops from afghanistan , or they will kill the hostages .
with minutes and seconds going by , the situation saw a positive development with south korean officials launching talks with the taliban today for the first time .
yet at the same time , the taliban said that a german who had also been kidnapped was very weak physically , had started slipping into a coma , and had lost consciousness .
the taliban calls for germany and south korea to withdraw their troops from afghanistan , and demands 33 guerrillas imprisoned by the afghan government in exchange for these hostages .
taliban spokesperson ahmadi said in a telephone interview with afp from an unknown location , " we have come in direct contact with the south korean representatives through tribal elders . "
" we hope the talks this time will achieve results , " said ahmadi .
the taliban set as a final deadline nightfall , local time ( 10:30pm taiwan time ) , at which point they will start killing the south korean hostages .
the guerrillas have already extended their deadline twice .
consensus on sea conflict tough to reach ; military talks between two koreas end on bad terms
the three-day high-level military talks between the two koreas , south korea and north korea , ended on bad terms today , as a result of each side sticking to its own views regarding marking the sea border .
the talks , held in the border city of panmunjom , today entered the last day on the agenda . north korea 's chief delegate lieutenant general kim yong-chol ( transliterated ) said , " we concluded that we no longer need these fruitless talks . "
kim yong-chol , obviously displeased with a flushed face , attacked south korea for deliberately avoiding the discussion of drawing a new sea border to replace the existing " northern limit line . "
he pointed out that the " northern limit line " is not legitimate .
located in the yellow sea , the " northern limit line " was drawn by the us military in 1953 when the korean war ended . however , it has become a focus of dispute between the two koreas in recent years , with north korea even unwilling to recognize it .
north korea said that south korea 's warships have entered its territorial waters illegally , triggering a tense situation ; south korea claimed this accusation to be groundless .
a conflict broke out in the local waters in june 1999 , causing dozens of north korean crew members to lose their lives .
a similar clash occurred again in june 2002 , with six south koreans sadly killed .

paulson moved on to beijing today , discussing with chinese leading officials such topics as advancing the course of the " us-china strategic economic dialogue " launched last year .
the " us-china strategic economic dialogue " mainly discusses topics such as the economy and environmental protection , though most important is the renminbi exchange rate issue . us congressional representatives think that the renminbi is excessively undervalued .
the us-china trade deficit is currently seeing a rapid , sharp increase . pressure in the us is gradually increasing , with congressional representatives ready to take retaliatory action to oppose their so-called unfair trade policies of china .
last week , the us senate finance committee passed a motion by an overwhelming vote requesting the treasury department to identify a list of countries whose exchange rate is in " fundamental misalignment , " opening the door to potentially imposing economic sanctions against beijing .
us congressional representatives say that the undervalued renminbi makes goods sold from china to the us very cheap , aggravating the us-china trade imbalance . the us trade deficit with china last year reached us$ 232.5 billion .

since the beginning of the season , mourinho 's future at chelsea has been a hot topic for the media . however , as before , the portuguese once again stressed that he will definitely stay in west london this summer .
" some newspapers listed 14 new candidates to lead chelsea , but i am going to stay at chelsea , " said mourinho with sarcasm .
mourinho reiterated that one day he hopes he can become coach of the portuguese team . " i really want very much to coach the national team . i believe there will be a day when the portuguese football federation also hopes very much to engage me as the leader of the national team . "

i do not want to become the president of a club . i just want to say goodbye to soccer completely , " stressed mourinho .

a special hearing called by the fia world motor sport council for the ferrari technology spy case came to a close in paris yesterday evening , beijing time . the mclaren team that had been summoned escaped suffering : the council decided not to penalize mclaren for the time being .

experts believe : qdii insurers will not divert domestic stock market capital in near future
chinanews.com , july 30
according to a china securities journal report , with the introduction of the provisional measures for administration of outbound investment of insurance funds a few days ago , insurance funds have more space to utilize the capital markets .
liu lefei , chief investment officer of china life insurance co. ltd. , believes that with renminbi appreciation and positive trends in domestic capital markets , insurance institutions in the near future will not make large-scale overseas investments with foreign exchange purchases . this also indicates that qdii insurers will not divert domestic stock market capital in the near future .
the report said that many insurance institutions share the same view .
experts believe that as there is currently no market for renminbi derivatives , insurance institutions have insufficient means of avoiding risk . as a result , it is not time yet for large-scale foreign exchange purchases .
liu lefei said that in terms of capital allocation , outbound investment should make up a certain ratio of overall allocations for insurance companies in the long run .
however , in view of relatively strong pressure for renminbi appreciation at present , china life will mainly use its own foreign exchange funds for outbound investments .
foreign exchange purchases for outbound investment should be handled carefully under the current situation .

bian implicitly criticizes judicial interference in election ; " judicial yuan " denies , and demands explanation
chinanews.com , july 31 - on the 30th , chen shuibian questioned an attempt by the island 's judicial personnel to interfere with the election of the taiwan region 's leaders .
taiwan 's " department of judicial administration director-general " kao chin-chih said on the same day that the current performance of the island 's judges does not match what chen shuibian said , and requested that chen shuibian explain what he said .
according to a report from taiwan 's united daily news , on the 30th chen shuibian questioned interference , influence , and even attempts to control the election activities of the various parties ' candidates , due to political factors or election considerations , by judges , public prosecutors , or investigators . he claimed he hopes that this phenomenon does not exist in taiwan , but that it might be very difficult .
in response to chen shuibian 's questioning , taiwanese " judicial yuan president " weng yueh-sheng kept a low profile and did not respond . " secretary-general " fan kuang-chun , on the other hand , assigned kao chin-chih to speak on behalf of the " judicial yuan . "
kao chin-chih said that both the taiwanese constitution and the " judges ' rules " proclaim in writing that judges must be nonpartisan , cannot participate in political party activities , and cannot assist in elections ; judges abide by the relevant restrictions very carefully . the " judicial yuan " believes the judges are all doing a good job .
kao chin-chih gave an example , noting that judge jang shenq-shii of kaohsiung " branch high court " participated a few years ago in a course conducted by the ketagalan school , and was punished because the course was tainted by a political party . the punishment resolution was by a self-disciplinary committee composed of judges .
jang shenq-shii once wanted to take part in dpp primary elections , and eventually decided to give up because there was controversy over his election participation while working .
kao chin-chih thinks that if the ruling of an individual case can be appealed to a higher court for relief , it cannot be inferred that a judge has political motives based only on whether the ruling is a win or a loss .
germany plans to lower barriers for bringing in specialized skilled workers
staff report , berlin , july 1 ( correspondent wang huaicheng )
german education and research minister schavan said a few days ago that germany should lower the immigration law restrictions on bringing in foreign specialized skilled workers , using an introduction of foreign talent to solve germany 's specialized skilled worker shortage problems .
according to an oecd report , by 2010 , germany 's labor force between 15 and 64 years old will be shrinking yearly .
without enough immigrants , germany 's labor force by 2020 will be 6 % smaller than now .
however , reports from organizations such as the federation of german employers ' associations and the association for german engineers show that there is a relatively large shortage in the current german labor market for engineers and specialized technology workers .
according to data from the german federal labor agency , the german labor market had a supply shortage of about 12,700 engineers and a supply shortage of about 9,600 technicians in may of this year .
germany has set high barriers for the introduction of foreign skilled workers in order to protect local employment .
germany 's immigration law states that specialized skilled workers from non-eu countries cannot earn less than 85,500 euros per year in germany , or else cannot obtain german work and residency permits .
schavan proposed bringing this limit down to between 40,000 and 60,000 euros .
don't believe blindly in the " theoretical field " of law
clause 8 of the revised draft of the law on lawyers , which was recently submitted to the standing committee of the national people 's congress for review , states : those who have undertaken specialized work such as legal research or teaching and had a high-level title or the equivalent , upon application to become a lawyer can be allowed to practice law after examination and verification by the state council 's judicial administrative department .
( june 28 , china youth daily )
in law , there is the " theoretical field " and the " practical field . " the former mainly includes " abstract actions " such as legal teaching and research work , while the latter undertakes more " concrete actions " such as litigation , legal consultation , and legal services .
for a long time , " intellectual disparagement " has existed between the " theoretical field " and " practical field " of law . the " theoretical field " thinks that the " practical field " lacks necessary accomplishment in the law and are only mechanical " legalists " ; meanwhile , the response of the " practical field " to criticism by the " theoretical field " is " theory cannot guide practice . "
concerning this kind of division of labor gap , what the law can do is stay neutral instead of giving strong support to either side .
however , the " specially licensed lawyer system " in the law on lawyers objectively recognizes a judgment that the law 's " theoretical field " is above the law 's " practical field . "
the fact is that some experts and scholars who are engaged in researching and teaching of pure legal theory , such as history of the legal system and international law , do not fit with practical law regardless of their depth of theoretical attainment .
in this way , for the law 's " practical field , " the " specially licensed lawyer system " no doubt opens a " bad door " which very negatively influences chaos in qualifications .
this is not the only blind belief about the " theoretical field . " the phenomenon of expert opinions and expert panel discussions frequently influencing and even overruling court rulings is another direct manifestation of this kind of blind belief .

do not let peddlers spoil public places
when out on a trip , one wants to feel relaxed , refreshed , and free , enjoying to the utmost the fruits of natural scenery and society 's civilization .
however , many people encounter this kind of vexation when traveling domestically : being chased and intercepted by peddlers and middlemen in public places .
whether on autos or trains , boarding or alighting , there are constant entanglements with small peddlers and some unlicensed middlemen .
if they are not selling eggs , peanuts , or sesame seed cakes , they are selling newspapers and magazines . there are also many unlicensed middlemen introducing restaurants and hotels , even peddling fake certificates and fake receipts , among other things .
if you do not accept , he can chase you for a few hundred meters , like someone ready to die for a just cause in the face of failure .
at some scenic spots , many tourists also have the same feeling .
prior to entering the main gate , people come to peddle things like travel souvenirs and small crafts .
after entering , there is more of this kind of situation . no matter how good your mood , you will be bothered to the point of losing interest .
media have reported that many foreign tourists in xi'an sing endless praise for the scenic spots and historic sites of xi'an , but cannot understand why masses of small peddlers and hawkers are allowed to sell everywhere .
public places including bus stations and scenic spots are at root places for trips and relaxation . they should be civilized , orderly , quiet , harmonious , providing tourists a comfortable and relaxed environment .
peddlers ' freedom to come and go not only affects the mood of tourists , it also destroys the public order of these public places on an objective level , bringing about visual pollution and environmental pollution . at the same time , it also gives lawless people the condition and opportunity for creating trouble .
the important thing is , these public places are windows onto the development of local spiritual civilization . one can deduce much from little information . it is not only the image that suffers , as local economic development will be influenced as well .
just think , you want to make the tourism industry bigger and stronger , but use this kind of chaotic tourism environment to welcome guests from near and far . who still wants to come ? who dares to come ?
how can your tourism economy obtain beneficial results ?
with the coming of the peak travel season , it should be said that creating a civilized travel environment for tourists from near and far is an urgent matter .
public places are not markets . the operating behavior of small peddlers and hawkers should be standardized . put a firm stop to unlicensed operations , staunchly crack down on illegal activities .
only a civilized and orderly environment can let tourists come happily , leave satisfied , and return with excitement .
in short , do not let peddlers spoil public places .
" rewarding self-initiated exit from subsistence allowances " does not pass muster
the jianguomen neighborhood in dongcheng district , beijing , gave items such as refrigerators as a reward to 12 poor families who exited from subsistence allowances on their own initiative .
( beijing news , july 10 )
this writer feels happy for the improved lives of these families , but has mixed feelings about the phrase " self-initiated exit from subsistence allowances , " and the practice of " giving rewards . "
an assistant director of the jianguomen neighborhood said , " in light of problems like cheating on subsistence allowances , encouraging the self-initiated exit from subsistence allowances sets an example for other poor families . "
this example is indeed worth promoting if it encourages other poor people to get out of their predicaments through one 's own hard work ; it is really somewhat naïve if it is thought this will " inspire " those people who have fraudulently received subsistence allowances for a long time .
when differentiating and straightening out real and fake poor families , what should be relied on more is the law .
relevant departments should strengthen the obligations that must be met for poor families to enjoy subsistence allowances : such as immediately reporting changes in family members ' incomes , reporting employment situation , and accepting regular reviews . meanwhile , relevant departments should increase the strength of supervision and investigation .
in the end , " exit from subsistence allowance according to the law " is the long-term solution .
who pays when the neighborhood gives material rewards to families who exit from subsistence allowance ?
as a first-level governmental organization , a neighborhood has its expenses covered by financial allocations .
however , should this taxpayer money be spent ?
on the one hand , families who exit from subsistence allowances prove that they already have a certain " self-sufficient " capacity ; on the other hand , aren't there still people who are applying for subsistence allowances ?
government financial allocations , which is called a lifeline , should provide timely help rather than reward good fortune .
liu gangyi willing to be a service provider ; this is a more convincing statement
on july 10 , chengdu city xindu district mulan town party committee secretary liu gangyi , the first town party committee secretary in the country to be directly elected by the public , received his fourth review since taking office , achieving a satisfaction rate of 97 % .
liu gangyi positioned himself as a " service provider " during a conversation between this correspondent and liu gangyi .
( yesterday , beijing news )
" service provider " in the words of liu gangyi may be more real , more convincing than " service provider " in the words of some appointed cadres .
the biggest advantage of being directly elected by the public compared to appointment is that for the former , determination of power mainly originates with ordinary party members and the public , whereas for the latter , nominations are mainly by superior organizations . therefore , direction of the power source determines that with the former , responsibility to the public must be given top priority .
the source of power , and to whom one owes responsibility , are basic elements that determine how elected people carry out their work .
some people question whether such " democratic review " is more like a " democracy show . "
my opinion is , having this kind of " democratic review " format is better than nothing .
considering the history and current situation of china 's grassroots democratic political development , i think direct election by the public is already a major breakthrough . democratic review is an important component of this pioneering work , and should not be underestimated in promoting grassroots democratic political development .
optimism in india for electing first female president ; analysts claim relatively high possibility of election victory ; female voters hope this improves status of women
on june 23 , patil clasped her hands together before filling out the presidential candidate documents .
india 's presidential election kicked off on the 19th , with the new president to be elected from between shekhawat , the current vice president , and pratibha patil , the recently resigned governor of rajasthan state .
patil is the first female presidential candidate in the history of india . if she is elected , she will become the first female president in india 's history .
patil is the presidential candidate for the governing congress party , whereas shekhawat comes from the opposition bharatiya janata party .
since the congress party has an advantage in the presidential electoral college , the media and public largely guess that the possibility of a patil victory is higher .
patil , who is 72 years old this year , was rajasthan 's female governor .
she started out as a lawyer , entering parliament in 1985 . with abundant political work experience , she received high opinions from the government when governor of rajasthan .
she has also dedicated herself for social welfare , as honorary chairwoman for many cultural , educational , and social welfare organizations .
analysts note that patil became a candidate as a result of her unswerving loyalty to sonia ghandi , president of india 's congress party .
in india , the ghandi family has been controlling the governing congress party for a long time .
patil has received many female voters ' support . female voters believe that in india where there is a strong concept of discrimination against women , patil will remold the image of women and raise the status of women .
the constitution stipulates that the president of india , a federal country , is the country 's leader and commander-in-chief of the armed forces in name , without representing any party or organization . it is more of a symbol .

these tribe leaders " are not willing or have no ability " to protect their districts ' safety on their own .

reports of adverse reaction caused by diabetes drug avandia increase greatly in number
according to us media reports on the 15th , the number of reports in the usa of heart disease and other adverse reactions caused by the anti-diabetes drug avandia has recently seen a dramatic rise .
the us food and drug administration issued a safety warning in may this year suggesting that diabetes patients use avandia cautiously , because scientists published a research report in the issue of new england journal of medicine published on may 21 that said this blockbuster drug will greatly increase the heart disease incidence rate and death rate of patients .
as a result , the safety of avandia came under close scrutiny from doctors and patients .
statistics show within around one month of issuing the safety warning , the us fda received 357 reports of adverse reactions caused by avandia , of those 38 were fatality reports .
whereas in january and february this year , the fda received only 50 and 73 reports of adverse reactions respectively .
these adverse reactions were as minor as blistering and as major as sudden cardiac death .
however , experts at the us fda believe that now it is still early to arrive at the conclusion that avandia is unsafe .
on july 30 , the fda will hold a hearing concerning the safety of avandia .
introduced to the market in 1999 , avandia is a kind of insulin sensitizer suitable for the treatment of type ii diabetes .
in the entire world there are about six million diabetes patients who have taken or are taking avandia .
avandia 's manufacturer , the british glaxosmithkline company , has always considered that avandia is safe and that for patients " the benefits are greater than the risks . "

us department of defense reconsiders plan to cut american troops posted in europe
a us department of defense official said on the 23rd that due to the iraq war and the change in the world situation , the u.s. department of defense is currently reconsidering its plan , formulated in 2002 , to cut the number of us troops posted in europe by roughly half .
us media quoted a department of defense official saying , because the iraq war is still in progress and us relations with russia and iran have worsened , those at the leadership level of the department of defense questioned the viability of the plan to cut troops posted in europe .
in 2002 , the secretary of defense at the time , rumsfeld , announced that before 2012 the us will cut the number of troops posted in europe from the original 113,000 people to 71,000 people , in order to build a " smaller but superior " new model army .
at present , the total military strength of the us army posted in europe has already been reduced to 100,000 people .
however , in june this year , chief of staff craddock at us european command headquarter submitted a report to the current secretary of defense gates , raising doubts about the abovementioned reduction plan .
the report said that while the military strength of us troops posted in europe was being reduced , many of the units were rotated and transferred to fight in iraq and afghanistan . this caused a shortfall in us troops posted in europe and even made it impossible to carry out cooperation with their european allies as normal .
the report suggested terminating the plan to reduce us troops posted in europe .
associated experts in the united states believe that the above phenomenon indicates that the prolonged delay in resolving the iraq war has already upset the original adjustment plan of the us troops .

to distinguish the important insignia of different nations ' armies , different types of soldiers , armies and civilians .

certain battalion party committee dares to stick to its guns to handle thorny problem
staff report , chengdu , july 3
report by qu yimao and yang ruiyu : " we are able to live in an apartment thanks to the resolve and determination of the battalion party committee to clear out the rooms . "
today , more than ten cadres from a communication training battalion in chengdu military command all look very happy as they move to an apartment block . they are full of admiration and appreciation at the style in which " the team " of the battalion party committee dared to stick to their guns and struggle against obstacles to resolve a thorny problem .
in the last few years , as personnel have been replaced , a portion of this battalion 's apartments in this family dormitory building was over-occupied , contrary to regulations , which made it difficult for cadres in service to find accommodation . officers and men have expressed considerable objections concerning this matter .
the battalion also cleared out the apartments several times before , but due to resistance they settled the matter by leaving it unsettled , which turned this issue into a long-standing problem .
" if only one sticks to one 's guns and is fair and reasonable , there are no unsolvable problems . "
after the new party committee team achieved consensus , major leaders came out in person to set about completely clearing up all the problems where apartments were occupied contrary to regulations .
on the one hand , they appealed to people 's emotion and explained through reason , hoping that the people concerned would consider the overall situation ; on the other hand they explained clearly the related policies and regulations on military apartments , pooled housing and economic housing , and made clear the party committee 's determination , resolve and standpoint on principles .
for some people with housing elsewhere yet unwilling to withdraw from over-occupied housing , the party committee promptly contacted their work unit and took corresponding steps to urge them to actively cooperate with the army 's work .
after two months of painstaking work , all the residents of buildings on the campgrounds that were over-occupied against regulations moved out on schedule and the serving battalion cadres were allotted housing according to regulations .
this style in which the battalion party committee dares to stick to its guns and struggle against obstacles also created a domino effect : a few cadres originally unwilling to actively cooperate with the organization 's allocation , now also , one by one , expressed submission to the organization 's decision .

for this reason , they adopted centralized training , held meetings instead of lectures , relied on local party schools to perform training and other methods , and periodically carried out training for full-time cadre in an effort to solve such problems as the full-time cadres ' narrow sphere of knowledge , singular professional capability , etc.
based on core work , they boldly assigned duties and increased the pressure on people 's armed forces full-time cadres , and through on-the-job training improved their work competence .
meanwhile , they actively coordinated with local organization departments and jointly drew up the " people 's armed forces full-time cadre achieving position through competition plan . " this clarifies the regulation that the director of the people 's armed forces department must enter the party committee leading group at the same grade and may not concurrently hold any other offices .
a full-time cadre rotation arrangement system was established to promptly rotate and exchange older full-time cadre unable to adapt to grassroots people 's armed forces work , while those comrades with good overall character and strong work capabilities were given promotions and put to use .
not long ago , chen yisong , the secretary in charge of the people 's armed forces department at new century shipyard ltd. , led a militia technical squad that innovated and developed an underwater vessel welding technology which made up for a deficiency in this nation . he was given an accelerated promotion to director of the company 's people 's armed forces department .
if you start well , you should finish well
simply speaking from the match result , a 2-2 score is reasonable and is also acceptable to the chinese team . the key is that the match itself left people feeling somewhat disappointed .
if iran was in the lead 2-0 and then china came back to even the score , the impression given to chinese fans would definitely be different and morale would have lifted a lot . what a pity that the situation was exactly the opposite .
one could say that starting well and being unable to finish well is an old problem for the chinese team .
the chinese team often plays poor soccer when their situation is extremely favorable , and the view of the average person is that the chinese players are mentally not strong enough .
indeed , this is one of the reasons china is incapable of " finishing well . "
however , looking at china 's match tonight , this does not necessarily seem to be the case .
not mentioning sun jihai , sun xiang , shao jiayi , zhen zhi and others who played soccer in europe before , li weifeng and others are also old war veterans . they have extensive experience and , logically speaking , should not have any problems pschologically .
regretfully , this chinese team was held to a draw by iran , and i am afraid that the reason was ineffective deployment of troops in the course of a battle .
while lagging behind , iran substituted two people , and the scene immediately improved .
china also substituted three players in the second half , but the result was not good .
to overcome the old problem of starting well and being unable to finish well , they must correctly determine the source of the problem .
as long as the problem can be correctly determined , it should not be hard to find a way to remove the problem .
what they really should fear is acting blindly out of desperation .
if they continue this way , no matter how many matches the chinese team play , they will continue to repeat their old problem . this is a far cry from everyone 's expectation to see them improve with each match they play .

" small , scattered , remote and direct " education coordination sections at a second artillery base begin operations
staff report by xue bingjian and correspondent xu yeqing : the phenomenon of difficult organization , few resources , and individual operation in educating the " small , scattered , remote and direct " units will become a thing of the past at a second artillery base .
in recent days , this reporter learned that after half a year of trials , this base issued " methods of implementing the ' ideological and political education syllabus ' " to the grassroots levels . a number of ideological and political education coordination sections covering all the " small , scattered , remote and direct " units at the base were officially set in operation .
to promote effective implementation of the " ideological and political education syllabus , " at the beginning of the year , this base used their organizational abilities to conduct an in-depth investigation into the current situation of ideological and political education in " small , scattered , remote and direct " units at the base . they combed through the key problems affecting and restricting education time , staff and effectiveness , and preliminarily formed this kind of new education format of coordination sections for " small , scattered , remote and direct " units .
the specific modus operandi of the coordination section is to break down unit organization boundaries , specify a brigade or regiment level unit to take the lead in a region with relatively concentrated " small , scattered , remote and direct " units in unified planning of topical education . units having different subordinate relationships either attend classes nearby together or hold remote discussions by way of a video system .
a combined method of giving classes in rotation and competing for posts is adopted to unify allocation of educational strength . educational hardware in parts of a region was used jointly ; and the information , data and educational experiences of all units were shared and exchanged . typical reporting tours in parts of the region are periodically organized , and officers and soldiers exchange what they have learned .
each coordination section has established a full-time education liaison and a part-time educational information collector .
on this basis , each coordination section has also set up systems to seek help on difficult problems , discuss important educational subject matters , report urgent ideological situations , and to test and appraise .
director of the political department at the base , zhang shengmin , told reporters that establishing political education coordination sections has not only reduced wastage of educational resources , but has also deepened the effect of the education .
some politics instructors were afraid to lose points in front of officers and men from other units , so they took the initiative to learn new knowledge and seek out new methods of education .
the officers and men receiving education also actively digested the educational content lest they sounded unprofessional in front of officers and men from neighboring units in their discussions and analyses .
in so doing , the enthusiasm of the educators and the educated has been both effectively stirred up .

( sports ) us veteran goalkeeper keller may retire after america cup
xinhua news agency , maracaibo ( venezuela ) , july 3 ( correspondent liu jian )
according to a venezuelan media report on the third , us team 's 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper keller said in an interview here that if he is unable to find a suitable club to serve after the america cup , then he will choose retirement .
" if i am still unable to obtain a one to two season contract in a high level league team four to six weeks after the america cup ends , then perhaps retirement is not a bad option for me . "
with munchen-gladbach falling to the german bundesliga 2 , keller also left this team which he served for more than two seasons .
although keller is considering turning in his gloves , he obviously has more than enough suitors who are interested in him . he spoke candidly that at present , as many as eight teams are interested in inviting him to join them ,
yet this veteran goalkeeping idol , who has served in the spanish primera league , the english premier division , and german bundesliga 1 , expressed that how he finally decides , depends upon his family , " my child is already 9 years old , he has stayed with me in three different countries and gone to three different schools . my choice now must consider how to better benefit my family . "
in the gold cup that ended not long ago , keller performed outstandingly and helped the us team capture the championship .
in the current america cup , he was still entrusted with the important task by head coach bradley , but what can one man do against overwhelming odds ; a us team of " elite young guards " setting out to do battle is fundamentally no rival for such south american giants as argentina and paraguay . in these two matches , the goal he guarded was penetrated 7 times .
the next match , paired up against columbia , is very likely to be the us team 's and keller 's final performance in the current america cup .

central commission for discipline inspection , i worry about the result of your " limited time combat against corruption "
[ guchanhuo ] posted on 2007-07-12 14:41:10 [ send text messages ] [ table view ]
the central commission for discipline inspection gave people guilty of corruption across the country a one-month deadline from may 30 , that is until june 30 , to confess on their own initiative . if they do not do so within the time limit , then they will be arrested .
i , a common folk , could not help laughing when i learned about this . a month before the police arrest the thief , they told him to confess immediately on his own initiative , or else they will arrest him . where on earth does such anti-corruption work exist ? ? ?
isn't it the same as explicitly tell the corrupt officials to run quickly and transfer the evidence of crime immediately ? ? ?
what is the intention ?
wouldn't that......well , i simply cannot say it .
then again , even if it really works , what will be the result ?
can it check and frighten the corrupt officials ?
we do not rule out there are timid ones among them who will confess on their own initiative . however , wouldn't there be more who escape ?
not to mention whether or not the result will be remarkable when the deadline of the central commission for discipline inspection arrives , i am afraid that it will produce another effect instead .
that is , corrupt officials everywhere will all understand tacitly and rejoice secretly . they will all thank the central commission for discipline inspection .
there is enough time to quickly transfer the assets in a month .
if i were a corrupt official , i would definitely think so as well . i would never declare it to you on my initiative either .
after considering themselves lucky , corrupt officials will also act this way : haha , thank you .. ....
the people are indeed puzzled . what exactly happened to anti-corruption work ? why is it so difficult to act vigorously , swiftly , and resolutely ?
furthermore , how effective will such anti-corruption work be ?
in short , central commission of discipline inspection , i worry about the result of your limited time combat against corruption .
non-privatization of land is bottom line for my even temper
[ duchichanshi ] posted on 2007-07-02 10:34:39 [ send text messages ] [ table view ]
non-privatization of land is bottom line for my even temper
i believe i do not get angry easily . at least this is how i feel .
when speaking at the forum , i have always been rational and even-tempered regardless . i seldom lose my senses and talk nonsense .
i have also kept my strong faith and ardent expectations in the party central committee all along . no matter how inconsistent the reform measures are with my ideas , i can still accept them and consider them as one of the " special features " .
however , if privatization of land starts ( or covert privatization ) , then all these will lose the basis on which they exist .
rather lose 1,000 soldiers than an inch of land . only land and resources are the largest social resources .
working people and land and resources are the essence of a country .
as long as the nature of land and resources remains unchanged , then it is very difficult to change the nature of this country . well , everything basically changes once the nature of land and resources changes .
i am not a communist party member . however , i clearly remember that i made the following pledges : " cherish my country , love my people deeply , study hard , train well , and be prepared to : devote my strength to the cause of communism ! "
" study diligently , work zealously , first to bear hardship , last to enjoy comfort , and fight for the cause of communism ! "
people who once made such pledges and called out " we are successors of socialism " loudly like i did , if you are still not shameless enough , then you should remember the pledges that you once made .
if you have already broken your own pledges , please stand up with a quiet conscience and walk away from " communism " . don't embrace this signboard to deceive the masses while ponder how to sell it for a better price at the same time .
of course , i wish all these worries were uncalled for . i wish i could keep my senses and composure forever .
remember , " we are successors of socialism . "
what if there is nothing to take over from ?
a generation with two eras of feelings
a while ago , someone asked if there are any mao supporters among the 30-year-olds ?
it was later changed to 20 years old .
in fact , people in this age bracket have not experienced the mao zedong era at all . i am not sure whether the brain of the person who raised this question was filled with water or he is born retarded .
in the cities , people who are best qualified to speak on the mao zedong era should be those who had personally experienced it , those who had suffered agonies of that era . in other words , they should be those who were born between 1950 and 1960 .
after they were born , their parents joined the movement and did not give their children relative love .
when they needed nutrition , they were just in time for three years of natural disasters and they suffered from starvation .
when they started school , once again , they encountered the cultural revolution and neglected a few years of studies .
some even ended their studies all their lives . they were between 15 and 17 years old . their studies had not been finished but they were forced to give them up to answer the call of the party by working in the countryside or mountain areas and supporting the frontier .
after they started working , they believed that the working class was the most honorable so they voluntarily chose the dirtiest and the most tiring jobs .
they enjoyed a short period of glory but have been a looser all their lives .
when they reached the age of marriage , late marriage , late childbearing , and having one child also started from them .
+when their salaries should be increased , businesses stress diplomas . their salaries were not raised because they did not have any diploma .
they worked hard to raise their children until they were grown . after they finished supporting their children through their basic education and the children were admitted to universities , they again encountered the double jeopardy of educational system reform and state-owned business reform . tuition fees rose . they were laid off .
with the increase in age each day , they started to get sick . unfortunately , they are just in time for the healthcare system reform again . as a result , their illnesses are not treated because they cannot afford the medical expenses .
as we can see : all social injustices have fallen on this generation of people mercilessly .
however , not many of these people oppose and attack mao zedong .
why ?
they are not slaves of mao zedong . they are human beings with flesh and blood and they are a human group living in our society . the history that they personally experienced , from working in the countryside and mountain areas to being laid off , +are squarely the social phenomena of two eras .
despite their huge resentment and even hatred of the negligence of studies , the lack of food and clothing , and certain undesirable phenomena in society during the mao zedong era , they still think that the mao zedong era was good judging from national spirit , ethics and morals , as well as social conduct .
parents of some net friends are exactly this generation of people . you can chat with them .

" injected watermelons " , " cancerous bananas " , and " carton buns "
[ saiwaihuangyuan ] posted on 2007-07-19 22:02:57 [ send text messages ] [ table view ] i remember there was news two years ago about watermelons in hainan being injected with chemicals with syringes . as a result , it caused a large batch of watermelons in hainan to rot on the ground and many melon farmers to lose every cent they invested .
cctv later conducted a follow-up report and the result confirmed that this matter simply did not exist .
the report was bizarre from the very beginning because not only was it of no practical significance to inject each watermelon with syringe , it was impossible judging from the workload as well .
my memory from last year is even clearer . there were media reports stating that the banana trees in hainan had suffered from a disease similar to human cancer and banana tress that got sick could not avoid dying .
as a result , many people misunderstood that eating bananas would develop cancer . the consequence was the same . the price of bananas in hainan plummeted , causing banana farmers inexpressible anxieties and endless complaints .
the reason the two reports mentioned above both created sensational effects was that they had directly touched the most sensitive nerve of people , which was food safety issue .
if the media say that certain kind of food will endanger health , then word will definitely spread . people generally adopt the attitude of rather believe it to be true than not toward targets involved . for a person , after all , it is not a matter of life and death to eat a few less watermelons , bananas , and what not from hainan . however , for the producers and distributors of those products , the impacts are truly serious .
not long ago , exciting news on food safely broke out in beijing again . simply due to an increase in pork price , someone actually used processed carton as stuffing to make buns . this was precisely the carton buns .
i was also deeply shocked after hearing this . i felt that the peddlers were so good at exploration that they could actually think of such a method to cheat people . i also widely spread %pw , this news afterwards and warned my family and friends not to buy any bun when they went out .
however , suddenly , there was news again yesterday stating that the carton bun report was false news . the entire incident was fabricated by one person . thus , while feeling relieved , i also wondered what happened to the media nowadays .
the truth i learned from a reliable channel was that a certain zi , a temporary personnel of the column crew of transparency of the beijing television life channel , brought the minced meat stuffing , flour , and carton he bought from the market himself and instructed people including a certain wei to mix the carton into the minced meat stuffing after soaking it in water and make it into buns .
a certain zi used the home dv camera that he brought along to shoot the production process . he edited it afterwards and used deception to have the video broadcast .
currently , the public security organ has put a certain zi in custody according to law and will handle the case seriously in conformity of legal provisions .
after the case of the bun happened , the government quickly organized relevant departments to launch investigations . it also conducted comprehensive and thorough inspection of the breakfast markets in beijing to ensure the safety of the dining table of the people .
after the incident was confirmed , the beijing television had publicly apologized to society . it had learned a profound lesson and had strictly dealt with relevant people responsible . it will also further enhance its management to stop the loophole and end false news stories with determination .
however , even though carton bun was completely unreal , it is still unclear when people will feel at ease to buy buns from stalls again .
this incident also indirectly reflected the great importance the government attached to food safety and its promptness in action . to a certain extent , it also illustrated that the dining table of beijing people is relatively safe . the bun incident was a false alarm . it could be considered as a reminder to people as well !
to whom should education be accountable ?
i recently heard a friend in china talked about a story of a school . it provoked my reflections and i could not refrain from expressing them .
the incident happened at a private middle school in shanghai city - southwest weiyu middle school .
the school decided to assign the best teachers to the three classes that signed a contract to directly promote from its own junior to senior high school . meanwhile , it let a few young teachers who had no high school senior class teaching experience with poor teaching results in the past to lead the other few classes that were admitted to the school from outside schools or those who were promoted without a contract .
its reason was : students who signed a contract at that time agreed to abstain from applying for other senior high schools . therefore , based on the agreement , the school had to assure that it would provide them with the best teachers .
while for students of the other few classes , the position of the school was : young teachers should be given training opportunities .
i could not help but to sigh . after all , to whom is education accountable ?
i remember many years ago when i attended a key senior high school , because of the dissatisfaction with the teaching standard of a math teacher , the entire class signed a collective request to ask the school to change the teacher without understanding the difficulty of things .
the school actually changed the teacher for us in the end because the commitment of the school to us was to treat every student fairly and to be accountable to every student .
i came to the united states to attend graduate school 10 years ago .
when i was selecting courses for the next semester one summer , i found that the elective courses planned by the department were all theoretical-based courses while application-based courses were not scheduled at all .
i went to talk to the chair of the department and told him that i believed there was a problem with the curriculum .
the chairman of the department acknowledged that due to a shortage in teachers , application-based course was not offered . however , it would be offered in a year or two once teachers were available .
i remember i told him then , " this is your problem , not mine .
i came afar from shanghai to attend your school precisely because i was attracted by your course description .
if you are incapable of offering these courses , then do not put them in your description . otherwise , it is false advertisement . you are being irresponsible to me and my family . "
after hearing what i said , the chair of the department thought for a moment , then said , " well , i will see what i can do to resolve this .
it may be too late because all courses have been scheduled for online registration . "
the chairman of the department talked to me three weeks later . the gist was to tell me that his job was to be accountable to every student including me .
after listening to my opinion , he tried his best to add two application-based elective courses . he hoped that i could understand .
i took a few courses taught by the chairman of the department after this incident .
he never held any prejudice against me just because i had lodged a complaint to him . he gave me an a fairly in each course .
on the eve of graduation , i heard his secretary mentioned that he tried his best for every student but not every student was grateful to him .
at the graduation ceremony , as the representative of the honors students , i told the chairman of the department in my speech that we all thanked him for all he had done for us from our hearts because he had tried his best to be accountable to every one of us .
i believed that i had made the right choice in life to choose to study there .
when i said this , i could faintly see that the chairman of the department had tears in his eyes .. if one day , all educators in china and the entire educational system can both be accountable to every student , then i believe the day that china actually makes rapid progress will be in sight .
central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament
i took part in the central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament last sunday . after playing for six and a half hours , our team finally won the championship .
the tournament was in fact a scrimmage organized to prepare us for entering the volleyball competition in the empire state summer games .
the coach broke up the four men 's competing teams in central new york region ( high school team , college team , 35-and-up team , and 45-and-up team ) and regrouped us into four people a team with a setter in each team to compete .
the rules of the tournament were very interesting . only the back row could attack . fake hit to inside the 3-meter line was prohibited . the setter alone could block with no position substitution .
therefore , it was basically a test of powerful offense capabilities as well as decision making and jockey for position in defense .
our team had : a 2-meter tall opposite hitter whose offense was a strong point as well as from a high point . he was responsible for over 60 percent of the offense and the scores of the entire match ; a 1.85-meter tall setter who blocked many balls dead by himself ;
a 1.90-meter tall middle hitter who missed quite a bit of his offense since he was at the back row ;
and me , a 1.75-meter tall outside hitter who launched surprise offense from time to time . my success rate was not bad . i was mainly responsible for receiving the opponent 's crosscourt smash .
there were seven teams in total . first , we had the round robin . after our team won the first game , the ref repeatedly ruled that our opposite hitter fouled for stepping on the line during offense . this largely affected our team 's morale . we were smashed and lost three games in a roll .
however , we calmed down after our losses . our coordination had also stabilized during these three games . as a result , we began our winning streak .
the round robin ended . our team had three wins and three losses . we were in the sixth place based on the ratio between the total points we scored and the total points we lost .
the supplementary matches followed . apart from the top-seeded team , teams from the second to the seventh place played elimination games in pairs .
the mentality and strategies of our team were stable . we played strong and led all the way to enter the semi-finals .
in the semi-finals , our opponents had strong offense but weak defense . my shoulders were bruised from the hitting . however , once i dug a spike , i was twice as happy as when i successfully spiked a ball myself .
i did not even know what the final score was . we just won .
in the finals , our opponent had balanced offense and defense . our serves foiled their offense quite a bit and we led all the way .
when it was 21:24 in the end , our team had the match point . i received two successive serves from the other team but hit the ball out of bounce at both times . it was 23:24 . our team 's opposite hitter ran toward me and said , " no problem . it was only two balls . "
the next ball flew toward me again . fortunately , i received it well . the setter did a backward pass to the opposite hitter and ended the battle with a spike .
discussion on issues of morality again
much has been said about morality for scattered and free individuals .
i have nothing more to say in this aspect .
what i want to talk about now is group-related .
we always encounter occasions that require collective .
in these occasions , certain morality is required for a group .
we can often find certain good morality among groups that have succeeded .
this is not by chance .
it is because for these businesses or activities to overcome certain immediate difficulties , to unite and put aside religious-based factors , i believe good morality also play a role that cannot be overlooked .
at the least , it can be predicted with great confidence that a group of people with low moral standard can hardly accomplish any successful great deeds together .
perhaps it is because wisdom to see long-term benefits with rational long-range perspective is a necessary quality for a group to succeed .
in fact , groups always employ various means to acquire identity such as logo , jargon , religion , so on , and also morality .
only brandy day and night can orchids be seen everywhere along the path of life .
[ discussion ] throughout your life , how many times have you been truly happy ?
my good friend from senior high school finally got her visa and can set off to attend graduate school at a famous university in the west coast of the united states at the end of august .
a few of our classmates had a little get-together today . we were really happy for her that her wish could finally come true .
i truly envied her when i saw how happy she was .
i thought , throughout my life , the only time i was that happy was when i was admitted to senior high school . at that time , i had never imagined that i would be admitted to a famous school that was one of the best in the city . afterwards , i attended university and work as a matter of course . i had never been so happy again during that time .
i was admitted to a university but it was not the one that i had longed for before , so i was by no means very happy .
my only hope during university was to be able to go to the north after graduation to join my boyfriend , whom i had been in love with for two years .
however , the creator played trick on me . one month before i graduated , he suggested to part . all the illusions that i had before went up in smoke .
after that , i simply returned to the north to work . now , i have been working for almost two years and have made enough money to buy a midrange car . however , i have never been that happy again .
i had a deep understanding of my good friend 's happiness when i chatted with her today . she had been preparing this gingerly and with efforts for a year . finally , she can go abroad to begin a new life without much trouble . the feeling of having one 's dream fulfilled really makes one very happy .
i have no plan to further my study , nor do i like living abroad either because i had worked abroad for half a year before and found that the life abroad did not suit me .
when i saw my good friend 's happiness , i could not help but to ponder , " what about my pursuit ? "
" how can i make myself so happy again ? "
perhaps it is to find someone who truly likes me and is willing to spend the rest of his life with me .
i think i will be moved to tears at that time , just like my good friend told me that when she passed the interview at the embassy and got the approval notice , she could not refrain herself from crying . the yearlong efforts and worries were finally paid off .
then , what about me ?
time and again , i act with caution and give attention to my relationship . when can my wish also come true so i can cry with joy ?
perhaps i am not promising . i never worry about my own career , but about relationship ..
when will my relationship find its destination ?
i remain very sad in this matter .
fellow brothers and sisters , how about you ?
throughout your life , how many times have you been truly happy ?
let 's promote school of architecture southeast university
haha , consider this an introduction of the school of architecture for the alumni of the southeast university .
this is the latest first hand information with personal experience . it is guaranteed authentic .
dean wang , secretary an , mr. li from the personnel department , and a few other teachers from the research institute of architecture participated in the report . i talked for an hour and then other people talked for approximately an hour and a half .
when the formal report ended , mr. zhang ( assistant dean ) pulled me aside and asked me to go talk in the back office behind closed doors .
he was very amicable . he closed the door and told me that it was inconvenient to say certain things at the formal meeting . he said that he could tell that i felt uncertain about future income so he told me some specific income situations of teachers at the school of architecture to ease my mind .
dean wang gave a brief account of the school of architecture before the report . he said that there are only six major architectural disciplines across the country . the southeast university has two , the qinghua university has two , the tongji university has one , the tianjin university has one , and there is none other than that .
he said that the state has put special emphasis on energy conservation in building , environmental-friendly construction , and the science of architectural technology in the past few years . the southeast university wants to recruit a teacher in this area .
he said that they had received over 20 resumes from inside the country , japan , and the united states ( i seemed to be the only one ) applying for that stream .
the school of architecture took this seriously . it also conducted careful examination of the job applicants .
the southeast university is indeed relatively ahead when compared to other schools of architecture at some colleges and universities that i know of. the urban planning at the tongji university should be one better than the southeast university . however , it seems that the southeast university is a little better in the stream of architectural design ( i did not expect this before ) .
dean wang said that in the past two years , the scientific research funding of the school of architecture has been abundant . it is a key development university under the state 's 985 program .
he told me that last year , the higher-up allocated a lump-sum of 10 million yuan development funds to the school of architecture southeast university , of which 3.5 million yuan was directly spent on purchasing books to substantiate the professional library of the school of architecture ( haha , i also have to praise this . how generous with spending ! )
almost all of what remained was spent on the purchase of experiment equipments of my specialty .
allegedly , it made a few academicians quite dissatisfied .
haha~~~let's say a few words in passing . i think that they were overcharged for some imported equipment .
there is an experiment system used for measuring air tightness of a room that is very popular in the united states . i guess it definitely cost less than us $ 500 . as it turned out , the southeast university had paid renminbi 50,000 yuan for it ! ! !
other situations included that many schools and faculties at the southeast university had moved to the new campus in jiulonghu . however , the school of architecture insisted on staying , claiming that it has to provide students with a good architectural atmosphere because the old campus still has some classic structures to look at while there is none in the new campus .
haha~~~since all other faculties had moved away , the school of architecture seemed to have acquired another building .
therefore , dean wang told me clearly from the very beginning that he can allocate an exclusive office for me in the future .
i felt very sorry that i simply was not aware of anything when dean wang mentioned this .
later , mr. zhang pulled me aside and told me that it is not an easy thing to do because there is a huge shortage in office and even some old professors do not have their separate offices .
this made me feel very uneasy . it seemed that i still knew little about the situation of the country .
in brief , i had a great time during the visit to the southeast university . leaders and relevant teachers of the school of architecture southeast university demonstrated that they were very dedicated and enthusiastic . they had left an excellent impression on me .
may the southeast university develops smoothly and the school of architecture continues to stay ahead !
qinhuai river in the oaring sound and light shadow
the best of friends must part
i had lunch with colleagues two weeks ago to bid farewell to our former boss .
this boss can be considered a pearl among women . she was very nice to us subordinates . we were also most willing to work for her and even worked overtime at night and during weekend , which is rarely seen among americans . she was also the best boss that i had ever worked for .
she left the company and now offers math tutorial classes that cater to elementary and middle school students because she needs to take care of the family and have more time to raise her children .
i believe she will succeed in whatever she does !
sun yanzi delivers love to africa , experiences sandstorm , stoning , scratch ( picture series )
taking care of sick children .
showing " bicep " .
sun yanzi accompanied the world vision to niger , africa twice after her congo trip .
at yesterday 's press conference , she frankly admitted that it was the most tiring trip ever .
the local weather was hot and the drinking water was muddy . she was also stoned by angry protesting masses while visiting the market , and even riding on a camel , she was scratched .
the entire journey was filled with predicaments , which made her cried out in secret several times , " i want to go home so much ! "
shocked to see malnourished children
sun yanzi had participated in the world vision 's caring for poor children activities for three consecutive years . she called herself an experienced spokesperson .
she brought 30 bottles of vitamin , 40 torches , and 500 candies to share with local children .
she stated that repeated experiences accumulated showed that no matter how many small gifts she brings , it will never be enough .
the most serious problem in niger is that mothers do not understand the issue of childrearing at all and children suffer from severe malnutrition .
on her eight-hour road trip from the capital of niger to the small town of tahoua located 500 miles away , sun yanzi experienced a sandstorm that was rarely seen in the area .
with wind blown dust and rain , the entire sky was stormy .
the jeep she was riding on also swayed in the wind .
when sun yanzi thought about that moment , she revealed with lingering fear that even though she was inside the car , she was terrified .
she later heard the locals explained that sandstorm is a symbol of good luck . it brings rain to moisten the land . only after that did she relaxed a little .
with local residents .
pained by mothers ' childrearing problem
when she arrived at tahoua , local officials held a one-humped camel welcoming ceremony and invited sun yanzi to sit on the camel to receive the cheers of the locals .
however , the camel was scared by the flashlights and was completely out of control . it nearly threw sun yanzi onto the ground .
in the end , sun yanzi jumped down by herself but her clothes were accidentally torn by the seat cushion . she cut her back and left an 8-cm long small bloody scar .
during this trip , sun yanzi visited four local sick children who were severely malnourished . among them was a four-month old baby who only weighted 2.1 kilos and did not look like a human being at all .
she said , " i was very sad when i saw him . his situation was indeed very serious but it should also be the problem of the mothers . they should be taught correct nutritional concepts . "

key word : key to chinese education-humanization key to chinese education-humanization
the objective of education is : to enable people being educated to survive and enjoy more easily in existing social environment .

club original : a few common phases in learning buffett
club original : a few common phases in learning buffett : i am strolling
1) first phase : when one first learns about buffett , one will feel as if one has found a rare treasure and will immediately put it into practice . however , the shallow and incomplete understanding of buffett 's conceptions always makes one misuse them , use them indiscriminately , and use them blindly . therefore , results are intermittent .
2) second phase : a " breakthrough " in buffett . after a period of study and practice , almost every " wise man " will consider a few questions : for instance , how should buffett with chinese characteristics be ?
should buffett 's theories be applied flexibly in china ?
can we do it better than buffett does ?
therefore , this phase is mainly characterized by self-righteousness , blind arrogance , and the pursuit of buffett 's theories with chinese characteristics .
after a period of practice , the results are still always intermittent and non-sustainable . if one is fortunate , it is best to suffer some losses and mend one 's way as soon as possible .
3) third phase : return to buffett . after a few commotions , one can finally understand that one is an ordinary person and not a genius .
one should have lower expectations of oneself . it is entirely enough to just learn buffett conscientiously .
the simplest is the most effective instead . nevertheless , simple methods always embody profound principles . one must understand these principles before one can better implement simplicity to the fullest .
the manifestation of this phase is having little short-term results but many long-term ones with sustainability .
4) fourth phase : " diehard " buffett . after experiencing sustainable results , one is basically incorrigibly obstinate about buffett 's theories in this phase . his attitude toward non-buffett's companies is one of total disdain .
continue to study and deepen the understanding of buffett as well as put the knowledge into practice . the manifestation of this phase is continuously improved results with sustainability and the progression to a virtuous cycle .
the time each person needs in each phase varies . both individual situation and luck have a bearing on it .
devote wholeheartedly to buddha ( 236553903 ) 14:18:05
he is my old net friend . he sent such a story among the group .
i would rather write this story in this column .
i hope that everyone can see this article . i do not expect it to become so-called " cream " . however , some matters and some principles can often be learned from a short but effective story instead .
this is a story that chills people 's heart after reading it .
i truly hope that this is indeed just a story......because i feel really sad .. ....
on the mountainous road , three gunmen actually had their eyes set on the beautiful female driver . they forced the mini-bus to stop and wanted to take the female driver off the mini-bus to have fun . the female driver called for help in desperation . all the passengers on the mini-bus kept silent out of fear .
only a weak middle-aged man exerted himself at the call but he was hit and lying on the ground injured .
the man was extremely angry . he rose with all his strength and shouted at the entire bus of people to ask them to stop the violence . however , no one responded . they all allowed the female driver to be dragged to the thick growth of grass in the mountain .
an hour later , the three scoundrels and the female driver with her clothes half-buttoned returned .
the mini-bus was about to run again . the female driver asked the weak man who was bleeding from injury to get off the mini-bus .
the man refused . he insisted without yielding .
hey , you get off the bus . my bus does not take you !
the middle-aged man became angry and said , " how could you be so unreasonable ? am i wrong to try to save you ? "
" you saved me ? "
" what did you save me from ? "
the female driver flatly denied , causing a few passengers to snicker .
the middle-aged man was extremely angry and wished that he would have the strength of a chivalrous swordsman !
even if he failed to save her , he still should not have to bear the consequence of being expelled from the mini-bus . he insisted on not getting off .
" moreover , i already bought a ticket . i have the right to ride on the bus ! "
the driver looked up and said mercilessly , " if you don't get off , then i will not drive . "
to one 's surprise , the bus-full of passengers who just turned a blind eye to the violence earlier seemed to have awaken %pw , instead and made concerted effort in persuading the man to get off the mini-bus , " please get off quickly . we still have things to do . we can't afford the delay ! "
a few passengers with strong physical strength even wanted to approach the middle-aged men and drag him off the mini-bus . it reminded people of the scene in boule de suif by maupassant .
the three scoundrels smiled from ear to ear . they gloated with pride and smiled .
a dauntless scoundrel among them said shamelessly , " we guys made her become unrestrained by playing with her ! "
the other two scoundrels also talked nonsense , " she is my girlfriend . it 's none of your business ! "
an argument ended when the luggage of the man was thrown out from the mini-bus window and he was pushed and shoved off the mini-bus afterwards .
the mini-bus moved steadily on the mountainous road again . the female driver brushed aside her hair once and turned the recorder on .
the mini-bus almost reached the mountaintop . it would go downhill after a turn . on the left of the mini-bus was a road built from blasting off the mountaintop , on its right was a bottomless cliff .
the mini-bus quietly accelerated . the face of the female driver was very calm . her two hands held the steering wheel tightly . sparkling tears trickled from her eyes .
a scoundrel seemed to have noticed something and said , " slow down . slow down . goddamn , what do you want to do ? "
the female driver did not speak . the mini-bus was gaining speed .
the scoundrel attempted to throw himself at the steering wheel and seize it , but the mini-bus was charging toward the cliff like an arrow let fly .. ....
the next day , local newspaper reported : " tragedy happens in fuhu mountainous district yesterday , mini-bus falls off cliff " .
the driver and the 13 passengers on board did not survive the accident .
the middle-aged man who was expelled from the mini-bus halfway cried when he saw the newspaper .
no one knew what he cried about and why .
evils of railway stations
i recently traveled on train for a few days and found out the evils of railway stations in various places during summer passenger transport period !
i want to know what i need to pay attention to at railway stations in various places .
i am from changsha . let 's talk about the situation in changsha first . everyone needs to pay attention when you go to the changsha railway station .
1 . the forever hard to buy railway tickets : it is absolutely impossible to buy a ticket at changsha railway station at major holidays or when school ends and starts during winter and summer holidays . it is still of no avail no matter how early one waits in line .
the most flawless answer i got was that the travel agencies had booked all the tickets !
however , if one puts in extra money , one can get as many as one wants from the scalpers .
2 . beware of counterfeit tickets : tickets in the hands of scalpers are not necessarily real . in shuangfeng and xinhua , hunan , a person relied on fake identity cards to get rich while another relied on counterfeit silver coins and counterfeit coins to make a fortune . thus , counterfeit ticket is indeed child 's play !
patching up is the most rudimentary form . some counterfeit tickets are so real that even train attendants cannot differentiate them !
3 . who moved my bills : be extremely careful when buying things from stores inside the railway station !
if you want to give small bills , oh , oh , your bills always miss the corner so you have to substitute them with a large bill .
however , after you substitute them with a large bill , the storeowner will say that he has no change for sure and return the bill to you . then , he will take the small bills with the missing corner . at this time , you will be forced to take a counterfeit large bill back .
4 . magicians give change : not all the storeowners will switch your large bills . that is a crime and the risk is higher !
therefore , some " timid " storeowners have to be magicians . you clearly see that the change that he counted is right but when you have a chance to count it yourself , oh , oh , a few bills are missing .
5 . foreign wine everywhere : there are not too many teahouses at the railway station . however , you will find out once you enter .
a few glasses of low-grade red wine can be sold at martini 's price . if you do not pay , then your mother may not be able to recognize you either .
6 . roses and guns : there are many video parlors around the railway station . the titles of the programs shown are very attractive to vulgar men like us regardless . thus , if you go in to watch , you will definitely be considered as distinguished guest who wants to relax a bit . as a result , a rose mm will immediately come over to accompany you . of course , you will have to be able to afford the money of five-star hotel consumption . no , broadswords do not always chop at foreigners !
ice and fire : if you have a changsha accent or if you are very familiar with changsha , then never expect to be able to hail a cab at the front terrace of the railway station . the facial expression of the taxi driver can let you know what injustice is !
however , if this is the first time you visit changsha , congratulations . even if you are going to a place that is only within five-minute walk , the driver will still take you to admire sceneries of a state-level key tourist city with enthusiasm . he will also let you inhale the famous baisha brand secondhand cigarette and smell the highly regional areca .
of course , you need to pay for your own fare , don't you ?
nanjing subway driver should receive immediate psychological conditioning
key word : psychological conditioning
according to report of xinhua news agency , an incident involving a death by laying on the track happened inside the nanjing subway on the night of july 3 .
based on description of the reporter , " zhu zhengting , 22 , is a young subway driver who had experienced a nightmarish scene . when the reporter saw him yesterday , it seemed that he still had not recovered from the shock . he sat straight on the chair and had a far-away look in his eyes . "
apparently , the young driver had suffered immense psychological shock and is in need of urgent psychological conditioning . otherwise , it will leave trouble to the rest of his life .
i am not sure if people remember the rescuer in texas , united states who rescued a girl from an abandoned oil well more than 10 years ago . after experiencing prolonged mental distress , he eventually chose suicide to end his painful life .
at that time , even though he had undergone simple psychological conditioning , people paid more attention to the girl who was rescued and simply neglected the person who needed psychological conditioning more . the tragedy could not be prevented eventually .
similarly , in the dover strait illegal immigrant incident a few years ago , the british police officer who first opened the container allegedly was scared senseless at the scene .
british authorities later put him through psychological conditioning for more than two months before they returned him to normal .
people suffer from immense psychological damage after experiencing disastrous stimulus . during this time , it is very difficult to completely recover by relying on personal strength alone . psychological scar will always be left behind .
since outsiders can hardly notice this type of scar , and even if it is discovered , they still cannot do anything either . many people involved will feel painful for their entire life as a result .
however , in our country , people do not show enough concern for psychological damage . especially families or administrative departments of the people involved , more often than not , they will abruptly think of it only after the best recovery period has passed , but it is already too late then .
nowadays , with the diversification of the media , we learn about some appalling incidents all the time . many female youth were harmed and many young children witnessed their parents suffered from cruel injuries .
after these youth were rescued , we seldom heard that they had received psychological treatment . more of them were offered familiar comfort by relatives .
even though the victims can feel that they are already safe , the damage they experienced has become an incurable scar that will always be awaken and affects the life of the people involved .
fortunately , the leader of the driver offered him consolation immediately , which could relieve his psychological pressure .
after all , the driver was not responsible for the accident . in addition , the driver had also adopted measures when he found out the situation . he had done what he should do ; only that he did not stop the tragedy from happening .
i believe that even if it were not the driver involved , anyone present would be shocked by the accident that happened at the scene .
nonetheless , other people are not connected to the person who committed suicide in regards to responsibility . despite being shocked , it will gradually fade from their memories with the passing of time .
the driver involved is not as fortunate . he must remember and probably will remember it for a lifetime .
we can consider him fortunate if he can liberate himself from this . if he cannot free himself from it , he will always be tortured by such shock .
modern health concepts are much more comprehensive than those in the past . people began to show concern for mental health .
regrettably , the mental state of human beings is very depressing . particularly in the cities , the mental health of people is very unsatisfactory . majority of people suffer more or less from hidden psychological dangers . yet , some people still have not raised enough concern when they encounter problems .
think about the lesson learned from the " yang lijuan incident " that happened a while ago . some irresponsible media outlets used a patient tormented by mental problems as target of media hype , thus causing serious social impacts .
we should avoid this type of incident from happening in the future . otherwise , our society will truly become a diseased society .
five teachers at dongkou no. 5 secondary school experience myriad of feelings after first session of new curriculum training
key words : dongkou no. 5 secondary school , teachers , first session , [ new curriculum training ] five teachers at dongkou no. 5 secondary school experience myriad of feelings after first session of new curriculum training the first group of teachers at the dongkou no. 5 secondary school who participated in the new curriculum training had vividly experienced the pressure and incentive of the new curriculum from the morning of july 13 to july 15 .
at the same time , they also believed that the new curriculum reform is an opportunity and challenge to the educational development of the school that is hard to come by .
on the morning of the 13th , due to traffic jam resulted from road construction of the highway section between shijiang and longhui in dongkou , it was past 1 p.m. when the few teachers at the dongkou no. 5 secondary school and teachers from areas including suining rushed to the municipal education bureau . staff of the education bureau , whose time to get off work had long pasted , %pw moved the training materials that were already moved onto the car back down to finish the relevant procedures for us . we also received the training materials .

they all determined to work hard to adjust their knowledge structure and try their best to successfully accomplish the mission of reforming the curriculum .
the second group of teachers who participated in the new curriculum training had arrived at relevant locations on the 16th to receive their training .

glad to befriend stars ' fans
key word : stars ' fans
i have a female friend whom i have never met before .
i told her directly , " i admire you very much !
it is because you express your love openly . "
she likes the male anchor of a popular entertainment show in taiwan and never conceals this type of feeling .
when the male anchor hosted a show in jinan , she flew to jinan . when he made a guest appearance in changsha , she flew to changsha .
in the book that the male anchor wrote , he said that a friend presented him with a slingshot with no bullet . she told me with a pleasant surprise , " i presented him with that slingshot . "
she also participates in creating an electronic magazine for this star . she reads every issue with me with excitement .
i have always quite enjoyed befriending people who are open about being fans of so-and-so stars themselves .
these stars can be movie and television stars . they can be star players . of course , they can also be great men .
i never consider these friends shallow . i think they are very likable .
these people are people with true temperament in general . their likes and dislikes are real .
it is very relaxing to mix with this type of people .
even though they will not consider your feelings 100 percent , at least you know all their emotions . you also know that you will have bigger sense of security when fraternizing with them .
these people are also very honest .
one should realize that it requires courage to express one 's likes .
precisely due to this reason , many people will like a person but not letting it known for their entire life . in addition , they may even quite despise people who brazenly claim to be fans of so-and-so .
i believe honesty is the biggest strength of a person . be honest with one 's friends and oneself .
however , it is indeed very difficult to achieve .
it also proves that one has selflessness in one 's heart if one is able to like a star .
my friends are all fans of some stars .
sometimes , in order to get a glimpse of the stars , they can endure hardships , sacrifice a lot , live frugally , hold cardboard with their left hand and press the camera with their right with their mouth yelling at the same time .
we can say that they are very simpleminded and naïve . however , it requires selflessness to love a person without giving any thought to reciprocation .
it is because in reality , there is too much self-admiration and self-righteousness for oneself and disapproval of others . therefore , this selflessness seems somewhat precious .
thus , if all of us are chatting and we say that the stars we like are so-and-so , if one of us says , " i never adore other people " ,
haha , then we have to be careful .
zhang xiaohui that person
key word : zhang xiaohui
i saw an episode of kangxi arrives that i had not seen for ages by chance . the lead was zhang xiaohui .
i remember it was the time when she was advertising for color blossoms .
the time i watched color blossoms was the days when i was obsessed with erotic movies .
at that time , i felt very odd because pornographic movies could actually be shot so aesthetically . sometimes they were also very interesting by being called erotic movies .
in fact , i have not watched too many erotic movies but they have covered many countries .
the ones i first came into contact were from korea and japan .
i later watched quite a bit from third world countries , latin america , and europe but less from hollywood and france instead .
i was unwilling to delete two of them from my computer . one was youth and the other was color blossoms .
the first half of color blossoms was still quite good . everyone was rookie and all put forth efforts in their performances . the director also had high standard .
however , the latter half was somewhat perverted . i could not take it at all .
actually , what i want to say is that in the program , zhang xiaohui said that her boyfriends almost cover every country in the world except africa .
she currently has four boyfriends .
i am afraid people in general cannot accept this matter . they will say that this person is promiscuous .
however , the crux of the matter is that she was very honest and showed no expression that made people uncomfortable when she talked about these issues .
she also discussed her own view of love .
for instance , the two parties should be financially independent .
i assume it also requires independent personality and being able to control one 's own destiny .
it is because i know that love is alive and selfish for people who are in love . how would someone allow the person he loves to accept other people 's love at the same time ?
based on my experience and conjecture , most probably , the love of zhang xiaohui is no longer tender and romantic . she must be the typical sister-brother-love .
in sister-brother-love , the older sister can tolerate everything including having several little brothers at the same time . meanwhile , the little brother can bear boundless attachment to the older sister because of the other party 's charm and maternal instinct . however , he may not mind whether he is the only one , so on and so forth .
nevertheless , from the conversation of zhang xiaohui , i also found that she is indeed someone who knows how to enjoy life very well .
for example , she loves traveling to the extent of excessively extravagant .
thus , i also have reason to believe that her life is also very wonderful .
if it were before , i am afraid i still could not accept this phenomenon .
it is just like i have also accepted many people now . in fact , it has little to do with being tolerant or not . it depends on once i straighten it out ; there is no absolute love or no love .
these people are , for instance , passer-by a , friend b , zhang ziyi , good friend d , and also furongjiejie .
when we look at other people 's life , we are spectators . for other people , how can we not be the main characters of our lives as well ?
this is as if despite my absence in the world , legends of me exist in it all along .
people ought to have a little play spirit
key word : play spirit
it is a very tiring matter for people to live . therefore , they should have a little play spirit .
one should either laugh at oneself , or read other people 's jokes and gossip about other people .
for example , one can relax a little at the " entertainment gossip " page at tianya .
people speak their mind there but of course , you should have the ability to know right from wrong because there are all kinds of nonstop " evils " .
the result of " say what you please " is that you do not know what you have said either . however , you need to understand what you read .
xiao s called cai kangyong a " scholar " .
if i am also qualified , then i belong to the type who have studied a bit but have not had a thorough grasp yet .
fortunately , i always know my limitations .
however , i may as well get what i want while i do this bit of studying .
it so happens that i like to take wild guesses as well . as a result , i think while i read . yet , i have straightened out many reasons and have suddenly seen the light in many matters .
thus , i gradually form some habits , for instance , i tell myself to be a little tougher on myself and be a little nicer to other people ;
when problem arises , first look to myself for a reason ;
be more rational when handling matters and more emotional when treating friendship ;
and to conduct myself in a low-key attitude , and handle matters in a low-key attitude as well .
however , you know that no one is that good . people will always be selfish , always consider their success and failure , and always in an emotional mess when they should be rational but extremely goddamn rational while they need to be emotional .
yet , the good thing is that i never think of regret when i deal with choices that i made .
it has been done and i accept the setback .
why do people have to think about so many useless things ?
fortunately , i am not the type of people who like to wear a stern look to raise my scholarly status either . i am also a philistine after all .
the only difference between me and other people is that i do not have to be cynical . i am more rational in everything .
alternatively , for instance , i have particularly strong faith .
once i trust a person , then i believe that everything about him is good .
even if he has shortcomings , i will still willingly tolerate them .
even though i am not the type who gather friends around , i am the kind who put myself in their shoes and consider their interests .
however , due to this reason , i am rather strict with screening friends as well .
it is also quite beyond my understanding why so many people still have so much trust in what is said and done in the newspapers nowadays .
or perhaps in their mind , news stories nowadays still have the type of sacredness that they had before .
however , there are still many things in this world that i do not comprehend .
joke .
slap myself in the face .
song dandan 's the depths of happiness , warm and moving
key words : song dandan , the depths of happiness
a while ago , i learned from the newspaper that song dandan had published a new book titled the depths of happiness .
i wanted to read it very much .
it was because i wanted to see how a woman at her age with such a profession sees herself and life after experiencing changes in family and career .
it was not disappointing as expected . i had two thoughts after reading it : first , i was electrified . one can also see one 's shadow when watching the life of others . second , i was greatly touched all the same . they were all details of emotional ties with family and the like .
why was i electrified ?
in the book , song dandan wrote , " i have neglected a very important principle in life : giving is happier than receiving .
i am always busy with giving , busy with making myself happy .
i am incapable of and know little about receiving . i have neglected to let other people give , that is , i have neglected the right +of other people to get happiness . "
i discovered that i have always enjoyed this type of happiness as well . perhaps i should pay more attention to it in the future .
it requires considerable courage for a person to calmly face her past and display all these in front of everyone .
included in here were her first love , her failed marriage with yingda , a deep self-examination , and the emotional tie to her son .
there is also one more thing worth praising about this book . it is because being a publisher , it would definitely do its utmost to urge her to stress on things including i love my home , house of flying daggers , and a series of short plays with zhao benshan at the outset .
however , i believe that she must have insisted . she only mentioned a little about zhao benshan in the end . as for house of flying daggers and i love my home , she hardly mentioned them .
+the entire book was full of the realization toward life , love , family , and emotional ties with family of a 40-year-old woman . it was warm and moving .
busy holiday
key words : holiday , busy
it has almost been a week into my holiday . i have not been idle either .
i attended a meeting at the college . in addition , i have to prepare the materials for next week 's meeting and the speech for the conference .
i will be very busy during this holiday .
if nothing unexpected happens , according to plan , i have three meetings to attend and four to five cities to visit .
my life is suddenly filled with many same and different varieties of contents . i almost forget how i spent the holidays before .
it seems that i have never been idle either as far as i can remember .
only that i originally had a long period of time for me to allocate at one point . yet , the time seems less this year .
is it good or bad ?
it will be more substantial when one is busy . however , if there is no result or gains for being busy , then its significance will be reduced .
however , sometimes it seems that we cannot consider life completely based on results . life is for us to slowly experience . steadiness , peace , fullness , and happiness is also a kind of gains , even though this type of gains sometimes cannot be measured by standard of social judgment .
everyone needs to have firm belief in social value and personal value . what will we do if the two cannot coexist ?
marxism teaches us to put our priority on social value . it advocates individual to contribute to society . however , in reality , a healthy and sound society should also fully respect the wish and choice of value of individuals and create conditions for the realization of individual value .
these suddenly came to my mind . i found out more and more that marxist principles are indeed very effective .
yes , this is indeed what the theory says . however , when it comes to reality , people cannot help but still feel perplexed sometimes .
even when the realization of individual value does not interfere with social value , will any of us realistic individual be satisfied with the realization of our true self and +ignore social judgment ?
or , can our satisfaction derived from individual value break away from social judgment ?
it seems very difficult .
therefore , while all of us try our best to be ordinary average people , we cannot help but to pursue extraordinariness and transcendence at the same time . yet , we will always blame ourselves if we waste our lives .
this probably is the social aspect of people .
i am still somewhat more relaxed now that i am on holiday .
at least i have time to watch vcds and play for a while with ease .
for what is worth , work still needs to be done and life will still be lived as before .
i need to go to xi'an for a meeting again next week .
a city that i have never visited but due to some " preconceptions " , i seem not to like it very much .
i hope this trip can change my impression of the city . haha .
" live a very feminist life "
key words : male , women 's right , era
ying called me on the phone in the afternoon . we chatted for a while and we talked about me watching " happy male voice " .
ying said , " no kidding ? you are so cute . you watched super female voice and then happy male voice . you are simply loyal viewer of hunan satellite tv. "
i said , " that 's true . "
ying said that she had watched some talent selection shows of male contestants . she felt that all of them were feminine men . i felt the same . however , i told her that happy male voice had entered the round of five . next week will be the round of four . the contestants can sing really well and are all neck and neck .
ying , who studies mass culture and consumer culture , also said excitedly that she has to watch it next week as well . after all , the competition has reached the most crucial phase so it must be well worth watching . she can also accumulate some case resources for future study if she follows these things .
we then said that this is an era of male charm .
men finally turn from " viewers " into " being viewed " while women , who were the objects in the past , have become the subjects . they can admire and face all kinds of men shows of this era of male charm from the angle of an observer .
ying said that it is female liberation . it is a sign of feminism .
she then went on to say , " don't you feel that you are living a very feminist life now ? "
i was so happy after i heard ying 's words that i laughed heartily .
this statement itself was full of feminist implication , only that i do not have ying 's good analysis ability to expound these things in a more profound and clear way .
i like the singing of chen chusheng in happy male voice very much . it has a very special sense of reality , a power that touches people 's heart and penetrates through space and time . it is very pure and comfortable ;
the songs of su xing are of a wide variety . he put great expression in his performance . he has fine and gentle facial features but gives people a relaxed and lively feeling ;
the singing of zhang jie is very resonant and powerful , especially the two songs titled your look and the past has gone with the wind that he sang in the competition today were both old songs that i like very much . they have left me with a deep impression ;
wei chen has a cute and innocent face similar to lu yi. allegedly , girls find it very likable . of course , he also has good voice .
the further competition of such final four should be very interesting .
i look forward to watching their wonderful performances next week !
utterly confused kimchi mood of 6/29
key words : kimchi , seoul
utterly confused kimchi mood of 6/29 i turned on international roaming . however , once i disembarked the plane , it seemed that the battery of my mobile phone had died . there was still not a single signal bar . perhaps the turf of global communications means the sphere of the heart . moreover , it will be effective from the next billing date .
i will lose contact with other people temporarily in these few days . oh , oh , will anyone worry about me because of this ?
i turned on secretarial paging just to prove who is thinking of me .
whether it is business or personal .
however , the question is , then again , whose longing do i hope it will be ?
i do not know when my heart started to turn blank again .
i cannot understand why i always fail to keep the people whom i want to keep from leaving . yet , some people whom i do not want to keep , they always assume that they can squeeze inside . does it sound like i am talking about how i feel about marketplace ?
however , the heart cannot be stuffed by " white gloves " whether there is a place for you or not , can it ?
after all , material and heart still cannot be mentioned in the same breath !
our car travels on the highway to busan .
the department head drives without saying a word . i have nothing to make conversation with either .
after all , he neither speaks chinese nor english . as for me , i also only know a few , a few broken english sentences .
i look at the computer and strike the keyboard rather boringly . inside the car , besides the sound of the keyboard , there is the cheerful gprs navigation sound of the korean woman . everything is somewhat too quiet .
only the endless green and the grayish blue sky is left to be seen outside the window .
it is rather unlike my personality to be quiet .
to my surprise , the only thing in this country that gives me a warm feeling actually turns out to be english .
the circles that come into view besides creating an effect of radioactive dizziness on me , they have no other function at all .
i believe that south korea will never produce compasses .
it is because the market has no need for it .
seoul was very clean , thoroughly clean , scrupulously clean .
however , unfortunately , the few days that i stayed in seoul , other than work place and department stores , i did not have time to go anywhere . all my impressions were limited to looking around along the way .
fortunately , everything was still good !
south koreans are polite in accordance with their tradition . they smile scrupulously and methodically , listen carefully , and are elegant and calm .
all that i can notice are glorious appearances , traditional customs , ancient structures , and overly modest civilization .
is this hypocritical ?
it might be better to be hypocritical . at least everyone is courteous !
one may think that hideous things do not exist if they cannot be seen .
the food in south korea is excellent !
only that i dislike and cannot understand why they spend so much repeated efforts only to make kimchi into assorted hors d'oeuvres with all kinds of things . of course , there has to be seaweed .
in second thought , south koreans still have a profound knowledge in food . they can differentiate between kimchi that is pickled above ground or underground and the duration of the pickling with high accuracy .
this indirectly signifies that the meticulousness of the south koreans may have something to do with having kimchi all the time .
however , i am worried how the japanese tofu restaurant that the department head is about to take us to will integrate kimchi into its cooking again .
when i thought about the chinese cuisine that we had last night , i felt like crying . it was entirely koreanized . the only thing that was palatable turned out to be kimchi .
oh , ah , thank you for the kimchi that the china southern airlines offered with the on flight meal .
the airlines company must have thought that i have to get used to it from the moment i get on the plane .
two more days and i will return to my country . if there is still no one to miss , then i may as well think of the pork braised in brown sauce that my aunt will make .
after all , satisfaction of the stomach is more direct than satisfaction of the heart .
of course , it has nothing to do with kimchi .
two trees
two trees , one was me and the other was my brother-in-law .
we were each other 's shade and we took care of each other .
people of my generation all have many sons and daughters . however , i only have older and younger sisters but no older or younger brother . as a result , the arrival of my brother-in-law sounded extremely important .
we were all born poor children . we had to take part in multifarious chores and physical labor since we were very young . even though i had tried my best to pretend to be a grown man all along and wanted to do the work as good as a connoisseur did , i never had the approval of my father .
i have had problem of sleepwalking ever since i was young but it is not too serious . however , i could not avoid losing concentration when i did my chores .
for instance , my father asked me to plaster the chimney of our old house . i climbed up the roof to operate quickly .
the chimney was plastered but when it rained , the house was +leaking because i had crushed the tiles of the roof .
here is another example . my father asked me to change the light bulb , the old-styled incandescent lamp type .
when i climbed up the chair , yet , the light bulb i was holding slipped out of my hand and fell to the cement floor , smashed .
examples like these are too many to be enumerated . therefore , after my brother-in-law was admitted to the family , the odds and ends small jobs were naturally undertaken by him and were done extremely well and effortlessly .
while for me , i gladly hid in the corner and read those leisure books that seemed like bricks .
we later grew into two trees , two tall trees that could support the veranda of the family .
as for father , he inevitably dwarfed . he , who sat on the wheelchair , became an obscure bush underneath the dense leafy shade .
who would have expected that the situation suddenly changed . my 50-year-old brother-in-law suffered from serious illness all of a sudden . the tall tree that looked lush green and exuberant was actually , beyond belief , approaching the frightening death .
on that summer day with dazzling sunshine that made people dizzy , outside the operating room of the peking union medical college hospital , the doctor mentioned casually , " it is not worth operating anymore .
he can live for two more months at the most . "
at that moment , i felt as if i was suddenly shot by a stray bullet . my soul left my body instantaneously . i was there panic-stricken like a fool .
i started to sleepwalk again . i saw our family 's old courtyard and the young brother-in-law's busy figure in it .
it was my sister 's sharp cry that woke me up . i rushed to hold my sister who fell onto the hospital 's corridor . we , who were embracing each other , were all tears .
the dazzling sun suddenly disappeared . i suffered from blackout spells .
my brother-in-law soon learned about his illness after returning to our city from beijing . he was relieved instead after he and older sister cried in each other 's arms .
my brother-in-law started to arrange for his funeral methodically . for instance , he told his son , " take good care of your paternal grandmother for me . after the venerable elder passed away , she has to be buried with your paternal grandfather . this is how the grave should be uncovered during burial .
visit your maternal grandfather often . buy him some practical items during chinese new year . "
for instance , he told my younger sister , " after i pass away , you need to visit your older sister often . she will be very lonely for sure all by herself . "
i found as much time as possible to visit him . however , when he faced me , he looked very ashamed .
words failed ourselves all the time . we were like two plants that despite having life , could not converse .
these were two grown trees . the tempering by trials and hardships had made us capable of facing adversities calmly . was it still necessary for him to brief me on anything ?
it seemed unnecessary .
it was because you knew in your heart : after you passed away , my older sister , the children you had with my older sister , and this big family could only rely on me , this tree alone , to support them .
who asked me to be born a man ?
as a man , you have to straighten your back and shoulder responsibilities without hesitation whether you want to do it or not .
the only regret was : why did your tree wither that early ? you should have a rich and verdant old age .
you passed away on the first day of the new year .
you left by yourself in loneliness when chinese all over the world welcomed the new spring with great joy .
perhaps , there is another young shoot of life emerging in another space and time ?
n minutes in life
the reason i have such seemingly trendy title was that at that grim despair moment , the confused brain was simply too busy to consider time .
it was as if an innocent person received a ruling of death sentence for no reason . would he still nit-pick on the grammatical errors in the arbitral award in a calm and leisurely manner ?
it was a day in the winter . the youth settlement was very cold .
i was not sure who was on duty either . the furnace had had no fire all day .
since it was said that there would be strong earthquake , we did not bother to make a fire when we went back to our place in the evening .
on the big wide bed that sleeps 12 people , the four of us wrapped ourselves in cotton-wadded quilts . under the dim light , we played poker " three on one " for meal coupon , quivering with cold .
suddenly , crushing rolls of noise traveled +from afar to near . the few of us looked at each other only for an instant . we immediately realized the arrival of disaster .
we thus flung off the cards in our hands and leapt swiftly onto the floor . we passed through two narrow doors and piled out .
the instant we ran out of the dormitory , the poor stone hut was grounded to dust in a twinkling .
we , who rushed to the courtyard , were like standing on a rocking boat . we swayed back and forth like tumblers and were unable to steady ourselves .
within these few seconds , the structures around us +resolutely gave up their prudent image in the past . they emitted strange " creaking and babbling " cries and danced an almost crazy break dance one after another . after that , they committed suicide by turning into a strand of smoke and dust .
naturally , the power lines above us were unwilling to be left out of the limelight . they broke suddenly with a " snap " and scattered in all directions just like whips .
meanwhile , the evil earthquake that wrecked havoc was setting off celebratory fireworks for its creativity all around us . the multicolored earthquake lightning could rival the stage art effects of any blockbuster war movies . the rumbling earthquake noise sounded like battle drum that boosted the morale , torturing every weak nerve .
i only had one thought at that time : the end of human beings has arrived !
i could imagine : the ground underfoot opens with a loud crash while boiling lava sends out blazing invitation as if it were steel . people drop into the lava one after another in free fall like nonentities . they are so stingy that they do not even have a trace of light smoke before they disappear in an instant .
my spine had the wonderful numbness of being filled with ice water . in the gloom , the faces of the few companions were uncertain as if they were paper masks .
i thought : do human beings bid farewell to this colorful world just like this ? will tens of thousands of years of history of civilization disappear from then on ?
however , i am not even 20 years old . my flower of youth has just bloomed and i just felt the delight in being alive . i am so reluctant to leave my wonderful life !
my parents and my relatives , where are you all ? what are you all doing at this moment ? are you still alive in this world ?
at this moment when i face the repugnant smile of death , i miss you all so much !
......i was not sure how much time had past . the muddle-headed me finally found out gladly : the earthquake sound was gradually weakening . the trembling of the earth was slowing down bit by bit while the fireworks above me no longer twinkled .
a huge vessel that had been heaving in the stormy sea finally entered a peaceful harbor slowly .
a young heart that was easily broken was eventually put back to its original place carefully after experiencing near insane atrocities .
earth , my home , you finally allowed us to feel the warmth and affection of a home again !
a warm feeling of surviving a disaster slowly filled the entire body from underfoot like a warm current .
after getting a firm footing , yu doudou , who just turned 17 years old , suddenly wailed in the face of the desolate scene of the ruins of the courtyard of the youth settlement that was once harmonious and warm .
all the people were infected and hot tears gushed down our faces .
it started to snow . was it mourning that fluttered for the misfortune of human beings ?
that year , the earthquake in haicheng killed 1,000 people .
expert said , " fortunately , the forecast was in time . in addition , it happened before people went to bed . otherwise , a major earthquake at a magnitude of ' 7.3 ' would have at least seized 100,000 lives !
only a year later , the tangshan earthquake that killed over 200,000 people happened .
matters of the village
there are many families in the village . among which , the family called nan is the most annoying . there is a famous saying that is very popular in the village : guard against fire , guard against theft , and guard against nan .
in fact , the nan family is still quite honest .
some others will usually steal a melon or something from other peoples ' fields while the nan family will steal a chicken or a dog at the most . it cannot be to the extent that the entire village is isolating the nan family .
no one is clean . whom did our nan family offend ?
the nan family set about holding some honorable activities to make known that this village was first built by the ancestors of the nan family , that the nan family has always been a large family that grows food , that some famous people in history had also come from the family , and the family has made major contributions to the building of the village as well .
at the same time , the nan family carefully invites the village cadres to look around and visit its home .
in short , the entire nan family works hard and wants to fight an active battle and better itself .
not long ago , the xi family did a very shameful thing by cruelly persecuting nan family 's seedlings .
the family named xi made its name in the village by acting as a matchmaker . young men from the village all benefit from the xi family .
if not for the good matchmaking that xi family did , how could you families do well in your production !
however , this time , the xi family actually smashed nan family 's seedlings with black bricks at a place called hongdong . it was indeed completely abominable . the entire village felt resentful and they all said that none of the people in the xi family is good .
the nan family went to the xi family to demand an explanation . it had gained the sympathy of the entire village .
the entire village all spitted at the xi family .
as a result , the battlefield was moved to the xi family .
the nan family determined to build a nice image before the 17th village meeting to make the nan family , the largest growing family , flourish .
even though the village cadres urge people to get along harmoniously everyday , this village named zhong is never peaceful .
the most disgusting thing is that in merely two to three months , even the pigs started to clamor and revolt in a hubbub and demand a higher status !
two years ago , the chickens in all the villages suffered from a flu and they were all killed , weren't they ?
pigs , why don't you be smart ?
if you continue to create an uproar and try to revolt , you will be unavoidably killed !
yet , even though the mei village and the ying village that are used to treat people high-handedly live an abundant life , they are not necessarily peaceful .
isn't it scary enough that some tramps knocked down the tall buildings of the mei village today and are going to throw small explosive cans in the subway of the ying village tomorrow ?
as a result , people of the zhong village generally believe that even though it is sickening that they cannot afford to live in a room , visit the doctor , and go to school , they can cultivate land , work part-time , and build connections without worries . it is also entering a new era , of a sort .
the nan family and the xi family , oh , which family does not have its share of troubles ?
let 's take the wan family who lives at a small bend southeast of the village as example . even though the parents of the family are somewhat shameless , our great zhong village still defends this family as usual , doesn't it ?
seeing that the 2008 sports meet of all villages will be held in our zhong village , please save the troubles and straighten the bad children in the village .
all families , raise the lamps and make the fire . oh , those who have money give money , oh , those who have labor power give labor power .
when the time arrives , people will all go to the village public office to watch golden eggs laid into the nest !
( dubbing outside the picture , fading : golden eggs or silver eggs ? fellow viewers , fellow viewers , i am yongge , anchor of cun television station .. .... )

strapless mules
nowadays , top-less is prevalent in everything . especially in the summer , everyone wish that he or she could just streak because any clothing will make people feel hotter .
you might have known before that t-back , which had been popular for many years , was already defeated by g-string because the latter has absolutely no band .
therefore , in such an age , the mules you wear under your feet may very possibly be outdated as well because a brand new type of strapless mules that only have a sole have appeared now .
how can one wear them if there is no strap ?
we are not celestial beings and the manufacturer does not have magic either .
this type of mules is directly .. glued to the bottom of your feet . this is not a product of prank but actual merchandize . the sale price is approximately us $ 13.5/pair .
this is yet another product that " i have imagined that it exists but do not expect that it actually does " . it makes people speechless .
the manufacturer believes that this type of mules is very cool . you do not believe it , do you ?
please take a look : i feel extremely uncomfortable under my feet just by looking at them [ via f.c. ]

watching movies without screen , mobile phone projector picture series exposed
key word : mobile phone
iljin display , a korean-based company , had introduced a laser projector module that is only as small as a coin .
since the size of the module is extremely small , it can even be built into a mobile phone and a 7-inch projection area can be seen on the wall .
( via ) the traditional projector consists of three different lcd panels responsible for the output of the three different video signals of red , green , and blue . meanwhile , this mini projector can convert among the three colors by using a single lcd panel alone , thus reducing the volume and production cost of the projector .
an official statement claimed that the lcd panel of this type of projector itself is only 0.24 inches and can be easily integrated into a mobile phone .
currently , more than half of the mobile phones on the market have cameras built into them . i reckon mobile phones with built-in projector will appear on the market very soon . however , it is really hard to say whether the prospect of the market will be good or not .

palestinian prime minister fayyad to form new government as state of emergency expires
as a month-long state of emergency expires today , which was implemented by the palestinian authorities after hamas militants seized the gaza strip , prime minister fayyad resigned for the moment but was ordered to form a new government .
" prime minister fayyad presented his resignation to president abbas who accepted it , at the same time asking him to form a new cabinet responsible for handling day-to-day matters , " agriculture and social affairs minister al-habbash told afp .
amr , a close associate of abbas , told afp fayyad presented his resignation , and abbas charged him with " carrying out his current duties until he forms a new government . "

japanese automakers reduce or suspend production as strong earthquake affects parts output
japan was rocked by a strong earthquake this week , which resulted in a parts shortage . automakers including toyota and nissan said today that they would reduce or even suspend domestic auto production .
japan was rocked by a strong 6.8 richter-scale earthquake two days ago . as a result , the auto parts manufacturer , riken corp. , has been forced to suspend operations at factories in northwest tokyo , which in turn affects the production of automakers .
toyota will halt domestic auto production from this evening until the 21st , said a spokeswoman for toyota , the world 's top-selling automaker .
starting from the day after tomorrow until the 23rd , nissan will suspend partial production and operations at two of the three factories in japan and will reassess the situation over the weekend , nissan spokesman nakagawa said .

indonesia cancels sale of famous british environment-friendly bag amid fears of chaotic snaring
indonesia has cancelled sale of a famous british environment-friendly bag due to the chaos caused by the snaring wave in hong kong earlier this month , said its dealer today .
" we cancelled the launch of the environment-friendly bag due to what happened in hong kong , " said the director of the famous on pedder store in upscale plaza indonesia .
" it 's not worth it any more if people fight over a 140,000-rupiah ( about 494 nt dollars ) bag . "
thousands of hong kong people gathered outside the shops on the 6th to snare the limited-edition environment-friendly bag designed by british designer anya hindmarch , which carries " i am not a plastic bag . " however , since the shops refused to open their doors , the situation went out of control .
the designer product that advocates environmental protection was designed to replace plastic bags . it , however , unexpectedly became an overnight fashion indicator in london and new york and sparked snaring , selling on the online auction website , ebay , for many times its retail price .
on pedder , the only authorized dealer in indonesia , said it was unsure whether it would put the bag on sale in a few days .
south korea holds direct talks with taliban amid hostage crisis countdown
afghan taliban has kidnapped 23 south korean hostages and set today 's sunset as the deadline for withdrawal of south korean troops from afghanistan , or they will kill the hostages .
as the clock ticks away , the situation is showing positive development , with south korean officials holding their first talks with the taliban today .
however , the taliban said at the same time that another german hostage abducted was very weak and was in a coma and losing consciousness .
the taliban has called for germany and south korea to pull their troops out of afghanistan and demanded an exchange of these hostages for the 33 guerrillas held prisoner by the afghan government .
" we've established contact directly with south korean delegates through tribal elders , " said the taliban spokesman ahmadi from an unknown location in a telephone interview with afp .
" we hope this time the talks can yield a result , " said ahmadi .
the taliban has set a deadline at dusk local time ( 10:30pm taiwan time ) , after which they will start killing the south koreans hostages .
the guerrillas have already extended the deadline twice .
military talks between two koreas end in discord amid disagreement on sea disputes
the three-day high-level military talks between south and north korea ended in discord today due to divergence over delimitation of sea border .
" we've come to a conclusion that we don't need these fruitless talks any more , " said north korea 's chief delegate lieutenant-general kim yong-chol as the talks at the border city of panmunjom went into the last day 's agenda today .
a red-faced and apparently angry kim yong-chol attacked south korea for intentionally avoiding delimitation of a new maritime border to replace the existing northern limit line .
he said the " northern limit line " was not legal .
the northern limit line in the yellow sea was drawn up by the us forces in 1953 in the wake of the korean war . however , it has become the focus of disputes between the two koreas in recent years . even worse , north korea refuses to recognize it .
north korea says south korean warships have fueled tensions by violating the waters illegally , while south korea rejects the accusation as groundless .
a clash in the water area in june 1999 killed dozens of north korean sailors .
another similar clash was reported in june 2002 , in which six south koreans were unfortunately killed .
us treasury secretary arrives in china for a visit with environment and exchange rate as focus
us treasury secretary paulson arrived in china yesterday for a visit , as the us was trying its best to convince china to further carry out necessary economic reforms and environmental protection efforts , especially the issue of rmb exchange rate that receives wide attention .
us diplomats said paulson was first headed to xining , the capital of the vast northwestern province of qinghai .
china is currently implementing a series of environmental protection initiatives near the largest salt-water lake in qinghai province .
paulson left for beijing today to discuss with chinese officials in charge topics such as promotion of the us-china strategic economic dialogue launched last year .
the us-china strategic economic dialogue mainly covers economic , environmental and other issues , but the one at the forefront is the exchange rate of rmb , which is seen by lawmakers in the united states as significantly undervalued .
there has been growing pressure within the us as the us trade deficit with china soars . us lawmakers plan to take retaliatory actions to fight against what they call unfair trade policies of china .
last week the us senate finance committee overwhelmingly approved a bill requiring the treasury to identify nations with " fundamentally misaligned " currencies , potentially opening the door to economic sanctions against beijing .
us lawmakers say the undervalued rmb makes us-bound goods from china extremely cheap , thereby exacerbating trade imbalance between the us and china , with the us trade deficit with china hitting 232.5 billion us dollars last year .

experts : insurance qdii not draining cash from domestic stock market anytime soon
july 30 chinanews.com
according to a report in the china securities , with the introduction of the interim regulations governing overseas investment of insurance capitals the other day , insurance capitals have broader room to take advantage of the capital market .
liu lefei , chief investment officer of china life co. , ltd , believes that due to the appreciation of rmb and promising domestic capital market , insurance institutions will not invest overseas by buying foreign currencies on a large scale in the short run , which means insurance qdii will not drain cash from the domestic stock market anytime soon .
the report says quite a few insurance institutions hold the same view .
experts say in the absence of a derivatives market for rmb , insurance institutions lack sufficient hedging measures . it is therefore not yet time to buy foreign currencies on a large scale .
liu lefei said that in the long run , in terms of asset allocation , overseas investment should have some weight in the overall allocation of insurance companies .
however , given the fairly large upward pressure of rmb at present , china life will primarily use its own foreign reserves for overseas investment .
as for investing overseas by buying foreign currencies , caution should be taken under the current circumstances .

bian critically alludes to judicial intervention in elections taiwan " judicial yuan " denies and demands his explanation
july 31 chinanews.com - chen shui-bian on the 30th questioned the island 's judicial personnel for intervention into the leadership elections of the taiwan region .
kao chin-chih , " director-general of the department of judicial administration at the judicial yuan " of taiwan said on the same day that the current behaviors of judges on the island were inconsistent with what chen shui-bian said , and he demanded that chen shui-bian explain his comments .
according to a report in taiwan 's united daily , chen shui-bian on the 30th questioned judges , prosecutors and investigators for intervening , influencing or even attempting to manipulate election campaigns of candidates from different parties out of political factors or election considerations and said he hoped the phenomenon did not exist in taiwan , but it might be very difficult .
in response to chen shui-bian's questioning , president of taiwan " judicial yuan " weng yueh-sheng kept a low key with no responses , while " secretary-general " fan kuang-chun appointed kao chin-chih to speak on behalf of the " judicial yuan . "
kao chin-chih said both the fundamental law of taiwan and " judges code of conduct " state explicitly that judges should stay beyond parties and must not participate in party activities or assist with election campaigns ; all judges have carefully observed relevant restrictions and the " judicial yuan " believes all judges are behaving very well .
kao chin-chih noted by giving an example , when judge jang shenq-shii of kaohsiung " branch high court " attended a program at the ketagalan institute several years ago , he was immediately decided to be punished by the self-regulation panel comprised of judges due to the partisan tint of relevant courses .
jang shenq-shii once wanted to run in the primary for the progressive party but eventually decided to quit , again amid controversy over his participation while in office .
kao chin-chih believes if it is the trial of an individual case , there is recourse to the appeal process . one should not infer the judge has ulterior political motives solely based on the result of the ruling .
germany plans to lower threshold of attracting professional talents
berlin , july 1 , by the news paper ( reporter wang huaicheng )
german minister of education and research schavan said the other day that germany should lower the conditions in its immigration law regarding the attraction of foreign professional talents , so as to address the shortage of professional talents that germany faces by attracting more foreign talents .
according to an oecd report , workforce aged between 15 and 64 will decreases every year in germany by 2010 .
if there are not enough immigrants , then by 2020 , german workforce will have been 6 % less than the current level .
reports of organizations such as the confederation of german employers ' associations and the german engineers association show that there is a fairly large shortage of engineers and professional technicians in the current german labor market .
according to statistics of the german federal labor agency , in may this year , the shortage of supply was 12,700 for engineers and 9,600 for technicians in the german labor market .
germany has set relatively high threshold of attracting foreign talents in order to protect employment of its citizens .
under germany 's immigration law , professional talents from non-eu countries cannot get work and resident permits unless their annual income in germany is no lower than 85,500 euros .
schavan suggests lowering the threshold to 40,000 to 60,000 euros .
don't worship legal " theorists " blindly
it is stipulated in article 8 of the draft amendment to the attorneys law recently submitted to the standing committee of the national people 's congress for review that those who apply for practicing as an attorney and have senior professional designations or equivalent professional levels from previous professional work such as legal research and teaching , can be permitted to practice as a lawyer upon approval of the justice department of the state council .
( june 28 , china youth daily )
there are " theorists " and " practitioners " in law , where the former primarily involve " abstract behaviors " such as legal teaching and research , while the latter are more of " concrete behaviors " such as litigations , legal counseling and legal services .
for a long time , there has been mutual contempt between legal " theorists " and " practitioners . " " theorists " think " practitioners " are merely mechanical " legal dogmatists " lacking necessary attainments in the science of law , while criticisms of " practitioners " about " theorists " are directed at the " inability of theories to guide practice . "
given such gap in the division of labor , what law can do is to remain neutral rather than strongly support either of the two .
however , the " chartered attorney system " in the attorneys law recognizes the opinion factually that legal " theorists " are superior to legal " practitioners . "
in reality , for some experts and scholars who study and teach pure legal theories such as the legal history and international law , no matter how profound and sophisticated their theories are , they are incompatible with legal practice .
thus , the " chartered attorney system " has undoubtedly created a " bad opening " to confusions in legal " practitioner " qualifications , which has extremely adverse influence .
blind worship of " theorists " does not stop here . phenomena where reports of expert opinions and expert argumentation seminars often affect and even override court verdicts are also direct reflections of such blind worship .

don't let peddlers disturb public places
traveling away from home , the aim is to be relaxed , refreshed and comfortable and to enjoy natural scenery and the achievements of social civilization to the maximum extent .
however , when traveling domestically , many people have experienced such annoyance , which is being blocked in public places by peddlers and those doing agent businesses .
no matter in a bus or a train , they are always persistently harassed by peddlers and illegal agents whenever getting on or off the vehicle .
if they are not selling eggs , peanuts or pies , then they are selling newspapers or magazines . others are a large number of illegal agents who recommend restaurants or accommodations , or even peddle fake invoices .
if you don't accept , they may follow you several hundred meters , quite an air of i would rather die if i don't succeed .
at some scenic spots , many tourists feel the same way .
before you even enter the gate , there will be someone peddling things like tourist souvenirs and small crafts .
once you enter , there will be even more such things . even the best mood will be dispelled .
a media agency once reported that while many foreign tourists to xi'an were amazed by the famous and historic sites in xi'an , they felt perplexed by piles of vendors and peddlers selling goods everywhere .
public places like bus stops and scenic spots are supposed to be places for traveling and relaxing , where courtesy , order , quietness and harmony should prevail , so as to give tourists a comfortable and easy environment .
free entry and exit of peddlers not only disturb tourists ' moods , but also virtually destruct the public order at these public places , thus creating visual pollution and environmental pollution . in addition , it also provides conditions and opportunities for lawbreakers to stir up troubles .
what 's important is that these public places are the window showcasing local cultural and ideological progress . seeing a spot reveals the whole picture . what is damaged is not only a question of image , but it will also affect local economic development .
just imagine , you want to make your tourism industry big and strong , but use such messy tourist environment to greet guests from around the world . who will want to come , and who will dare to come ?
then , how does your tourism economy yield any benefits ?
with the high season coming for tourism , it should be a priority to create a civilized tourism environment for tourists from all over the world .
public places are not markets . business activities of vendors and peddlers should be regulated . those who operate without a license should be firmly removed , and illegal activities should be firmly suppressed .
only a civilized and orderly environment will make tourists come , go and return gladly .
in a nutshell , don't let peddlers disturb public places .
" incentive on opting out of minimum living standard scheme " cannot stand up to scrutiny
by giving away things like refrigerators , the jianguomen subdistrict of beijing 's dongcheng district has awarded 12 households enjoying the minimum living allowance for opting out of the minimum living standard scheme .
( the beijing news - july 10 )
the author is happy for these households for the improvement in their living , but has mixed feelings towards the term " opting out of the minimum living standard scheme " and the practice of " awarding . "
" regarding problems such as cheating on the minimum living allowance , encouraging people to opt out of the minimum living standard scheme is to set examples for other households enjoying the minimum living allowances , " deputy director at the jianguomen subdistrict office said .
such examples are indeed worth promoting if they are to encourage other people enjoying the minimum living allowance to get out of difficulties through their own efforts ; they are , however , a bit naive if the purpose is to " move " those who have cheated on the minimum living allowance for long .
in distinguishing between and cleaning up real and fake households entitled to the minimum living allowance , what should be relied on more is the law .
competent authorities should highlight the obligations of households entitled to the minimum living allowance while they enjoy the minimum living standard allowance : for example , informing of changes in family members and income in a timely manner , reporting the employment situation , undergoing regular reviews etc. and competent authorities should intensify supervision and inspection .
after all , " withdrawal from the minimum living standard scheme pursuant to law " is the permanent solution .
who will pay for the in-kind rewards given by the subdistrict to the households who opt out of the minimum living standard scheme ?
as a level of governmental organizations , the spending of a subdistrict is covered by fiscal allocation .
yet should this money of the taxpayers be spent ?
on the one hand , by opting out of the minimum living standard scheme , the households prove to have certain capacity to " sustain themselves ; " on the other hand , aren't there still people claiming the minimum living standard allowance ?
the government 's fiscal allocation that is dubbed life-saving money should provide timely assistance rather than add icing to a cake .
remark that liu gangyi is willing to be a servant is more credible
on july 10 , liu gangyi , party committee secretary of mulan township in xindu district , chengdu , who is the country 's first publicly nominated and directly elected township party committee secretary , had his fourth democratic assessment after taking office and achieved a satisfaction rate of 97 % .
in the reporter 's conversation with liu gangyi , liu gangyi positioned himself as a " servant . "
( the beijing news - a day ago )
the " servant " uttered by liu gangyi may be more real and convincing than the " servant " uttered by those appointed officials .
the biggest advantage of public nomination and direct election , compared with the mechanism of appointment , is that with the former , the source of authority is primarily decided by average party members and commoners , while the latter are appointed by a higher organizational level . and the direction of the source of authority determines the former must place their responsibility for the public at the top .
the source of authority and who to report to are the fundamental factors that decide how the elected go about their work .
some people question such " democratic assessment , " saying it is more like a " show of democracy . "
my view is that it is better to have this form of " democratic assessment " than nothing .
considering the history and current situation of the grassroot democracy progress in china , i believe public nomination and direct election are already a major breakthrough . as an important part of this innovation , democratic assessment should not be underestimated in advancing the grassroot democracy progress .
india poised to elect first female president . analyst say there is a good chance of being elected ; female voters hope she can boost the standing for women .
on june 23 , patil put her palms together before filling out the documents for presidential candidates .
indian presidential election began on the 19th , with the new president to be chosen from the incumbent vice-president shekhawat and rajasthan governor pratibha patil who recently resigned .
patil is the first female presidential candidate in india 's history , who could become india 's first ever female president if elected .
patil is the nominee of the ruling national congress party , while shekhawat is from the opposition bharatiya janata party .
since the national congress party dominates the electoral college for the president , both the media and the general public guess patil has a higher possibility of being elected .
patil , 72 , was the female governor of the state of rajasthan .
originally a lawyer , she made her way into the congress in 1985 . experienced in politics , she received good reviews from the government while serving as rajasthan governor .
also committed to social welfare , she is the honorary chairperson of many cultural , educational and social welfare organizations .
analysts say patil was selected as a candidate for her unswerving loyalty to sonia gandhi , chairperson of the india national congress party .
in india , the gandhi family has controlled the ruling national congress party for a long time .
patil is supported by a great number of female voters , who believe that patil would rebuild their image and boost their standing in india , where the concept of discrimination against women is serious .
under the constitution , india is a federal country , where the president is the nominal chief of state and commander of the armed forces , more of a symbol than representing any parties or organizations .

climate change leads to rapid shrink of alpine glaciers
geneva , july 29 , by the newspaper ( reporter liu jun )
glaciologists at the swiss academy of sciences found through long-term follow-up studies that the over 1,800 glaciers in switzerland were shrinking at an average rate of 3 percent a year between 1850 and 2005 .
the 2003 heatwave alone caused 1.8 percent of alpine glaciers to melt .
experts believe if global temperature rises by 3 degrees by 2100 , the glaciers will shrink by 80 percent as compared with today ; a rise of 5 degrees , the glaciers will totally disappear .
the aletsch glacier , the longest glacier in europe , is listed in the unesco world heritage sites . but it lost 100m in the year between 2005 and 2006 alone . protecting natural environment has developed to such an extent that allows no delay .

russian security service charges exiled oligarch with " coup plot "
borovkov , lawyer of the russian oligarch berezovsky exiled in london , said on july 2 that the russian fsb has formally filed a new charge against his client , accusing berezovsky of " conspiring to plot a coup against the state and attempting to seize russian political power by violence . "
in an interview with a reporter of britain 's the guardian in april this year , berezovsky declared he was preparing to mount a " palace coup " in russia , confirming he was providing financial assistance to representatives of the right-wing elites who were against the government policy , borovkov noted .
the russian fsb 's investigation bureau immediately began criminal investigation in berezovsky in compliance with article 278 , violent seizure of power , of the criminal code of the russian federation and formally filed applicable charges to the savelovsky court in moscow in recent days .
it is learned that in february 2006 , the office of the russian persecutor general had filed criminal charges against berezovsky , on the same ground that the exiled oligarch confirmed his attempt to obtain russian political power by force .
as berezovsky had been in exile abroad and could not be extradited , russia halted probing of the case temporarily in january 2007 .
the savelovsky court initiated another criminal case against the exiled oligarch , in which the office of the russian persecutor general accused berezovsky of embezzling funds of 214 million rubles from a russian airway and laundering 16 million rubles . after hearings , the court has decided to postpone court probing until july 12 and will appoint a state defense attorney for the defendant during this time .
berezovsky thought all these were " a farce " and clearly forbade his defense attorneys to participate in court trials .

reports of diabetes drug avandia causing adverse reactions increase significantly
according to a us media report on the 15th , there has recently been a tendency of significant increase in the number of adverse reaction reports , such as cardiac diseases , caused by the anti-diabetes drug avandia in the united states .
the us food and drug administration issued a safety warning in may this year , advising diabetes patients to take avandia with caution , because scientists issued a study report in an edition of the new england journal of medicine published on may 21 , saying the best-selling drug would significantly increase the rates of heart attack and death in patients .
the safety of avandia has thus been closely watched by doctors and patients .
according to statistics , within roughly a month after the safety warning , the us fda received 357 reports of adverse reactions caused by avandia , 38 of which are death reports .
yet the fda only received 50 and 73 reports of adverse reactions respectively in january and february this year .
the adverse reactions were as minor as blisters and as serious as sudden death due to heart attack .
however , drug experts at the us fda believe it is yet too early to conclude that avandia is unsafe .
the fda is going to hold a hearing regarding the safety of avandia on july 30 .
avandia , introduced in 1999 , is an insulin sensitizer for treating type ii diabetes .
some six million diabetes patients around the world has taken or is taking avandia .
the manufacturer of avandia , the uk company glaxosmithkline , has believed avandia is safe and is " more beneficial than harmful " to patients .

us pentagon rethinks plan to cut us troops in europe
a us defense department official said on the 23rd that the us pentagon is reconsidering a 2002 plan to cut us troops stationed in europe by about half because of the war in iraq and changes in the world situation .
with the ongoing iraq war and worsened us relations with russia and iran , the pentagon leadership has questioned the feasibility of the plan to slash troops stationed in europe , the us media said , quoting a defense department official .
in 2002 , the then defense secretary rumsfeld announced the us would reduce troops in europe from 113,000 to 71,000 by 2012 , in order to create a " lean and effective " new force .
total us troops stationed in europe have decreased to 100,000 so far .
however , craddock , commander of the us european command , submitted a report to current defense secretary gates in june this year , in which he questioned the aforesaid reduction plan .
the report says the slash of us troops stationed in europe is accompanied by rotational transfer of many forces to iraq and afghanistan for battles , which leads to a shortage of us military personnel stationed in europe , such that they are unable to conduct regular cooperation with european allies .
the report recommends halting the plan to cut us troops in europe .
experts in the us believe the phenomenon above indicates that the iraq war has been such a long drag that it has disrupted the original adjustment plan of the us military .

three major functions of modern military uniforms
first is the identifying function ,
an important symbol to distinguish among armies of different nations , among different armed services , and between troops and civilians .
although the purposes of military uniforms are basically the same in the armed forces of some 100 nations big or small around the world , no armed forces of any two nations have identical military uniforms .
second is the symbolizing function .
to some extent , military uniforms not only reflect a country 's vitality and national characteristics , but also centrally showcases the combating capabilities and servicemen qualities of a country 's armed forces .
of the three major categories of military uniforms , dress uniforms , service uniforms and combat & training uniforms , nothing is more able to fully demonstrate the might of a country and its military than the neat and elegant dress uniforms .
third is the protective function .
with the rapid development of new and high-tech weapons , it has become a paramount issue in the development of military uniforms to improve the comprehensive protective performance of new combat & training uniforms , so that military uniforms have various functions , such as protecting from bullets , reconnaissance , chemistry , bacteria and radiation , as well as conditioning the temperature , humidity and air .

the party committee office of a battalion dare to get serious in handling thorny problems
chengdu , july 3 , by the newspaper
by qu yimao and yang ruiyu : " the fact that we can live in an apartment is attributed to the determination and resolution of the battalion 's party committee office to vacate houses . "
today , more than ten cadres of a communications training battalion at the chengdu military region who moved into apartments were all lit up with pleasure , as they were filled with admiration and gratitude for the working style of the " team " at the battalion 's party committee that dare to get serious and meet challenges when tackling thorny problems .
a few years earlier , with staff changing and being replaced , some homes in the battalion 's family dormitory building were over-occupied in violation of rules , which brought housing difficulties to cadres on active service . both officers and soldiers are quite unhappy over it .
the battalion had tried to vacate the homes several times , but left it unsettled because of various resistance , making this problem a hard nut to crack .
" so long as we dare to get serious and are reasonable , there are no difficult problems that we can't solve . "
once the new party committee reached the consensus , principal leaders went out personally to begin a thorough cleanup regarding the problem of irregular housing occupation .
they touched people sentimentally and enlightened them sensibly on the one hand , hoping that those involved could put the overall situation into perspective ; on the other hand , they clarified applicable policies and rules of the troops about apartments , pool funded housing and economically affordable housing , expressing the resolute determination and fundamental stance of the party committee .
for those people who had housing elsewhere , but were reluctant to return the over-occupied housing , the party committee office made timely contact with their units and took necessary measures to urge them give cooperation to the troops ' work on voluntary basis .
after two months of attentive efforts , all tenants in the barrack complex who over-occupied housing in violation of rules moved out on schedule , and the battalion 's cadres on active service were all allocated housing in compliance with policies .
the working style of the battalion 's party committee that dare to get serious and meet challenges also had chain effects , in that several cadres who were previously reluctant to give active cooperation in the organization 's allocation have now said they would follow the organization 's decisions .

jingjiang department of people 's armed force creates platform to boost quality of armed force cadres
by cao jiawei and zhu chunbin , pla daily : on june 18 , at an intensive training program for armed force cadres in the city of jingjiang , jiangsu province , the lecture win the psychological warfare in the context of informationization by lu yuqing , director of the xilai town department of people 's armed force , received positive comments amongst all participants .
this was a fresh change as a result of the city 's department of people 's armed force loading burdens onto armed force cadres and working to boost the overall quality of armed force cadres in line with the reality of different posts .
at the beginning of this year , when doing grassroot research , the party committee of the department of people 's armed force found that some armed force cadres did not focus on doing work related to the armed forces due to long years of service and multiple duties .
therefore , they have conducted training regularly for armed force cadres using such methods such as intensive training , meeting as a way of training , relying on local party school to provide training , with a view to address problems such as narrow knowledge spectrum and lack of versatile work skills .
in line with the core responsibilities , it has assigned tasks and loaded burdens onto armed force cadres boldly to improve their competency through on-the-job practice .
in addition , by actively coordinating with local organization departments , they jointly formulated the scheme of position competitions amongst armed force cadres , which explicitly requires head of an armed force department to be on the party committee of the same level without concurrently assuming other jobs ;
and set up an adjustment and exchange mechanism for armed force cadres , whereby some armed force cadres who are older or not suitable for grassroot armed force positions are adjusted or exchanged in a timely fashion , while comrades with good overall quality and high competency are promoted .
recently , chen yisong , a clerk of the armed force department at the new century shipbuilding co. , ltd. , who led a militia technical unit to fill a void of the nation with their innovatively developed underwater ship welding technique , was promoted to the company 's head of armed force department as an exception to the rule .
a good start calls for a good ending
solely from the result of the game , a score of 2-2 is reasonable and also acceptable to the chinese team . what 's essential is the process of the game , which is somewhat disappointing .
if it was the iranian team who led 2-0 before the chinese team equalized the score , this would definitely give chinese soccer fans different feelings and significantly boost morale . unfortunately , things were just the opposite .
a good start without a good ending could be said a chronic problem of the chinese team .
the chinese team often does not know how to play soccer under favorable circumstances . the conventional view is that chinese players have less than satisfactory psychological quality .
this is indeed a reason why the chinese team could not have a " good ending . "
however , seen from today 's game of the chinese team , it seems this is not completely true .
people like li weifeng are experienced veteran players , let alone people like sun jihai , sun xiang , shao jiayi and zheng zhi who have played soccer in europe . they have broad experience and knowledge , and should not have problematic psychological quality logically speaking .
the chinese team was unfortunately forced into a draw by the iranian team this time , most probably because of improper deployment of players .
the iranian team substituted with two people while trailing behind and the situation improved instantly .
the chinese team also substituted with three players , but the result was not good .
to overcome the problem of having a good start without a good ending , the source of the problem must be spotted .
as long as the problem is spotted , it may not be difficult to find a solution to redress the problem .
what we fear is to see a doctor indiscriminately in case of an emergency disease .
if things go on like that , the chronic problem will persist no matter how many games the chinese team plays , not to mention a step forward in each game that people expect .

" sdrd " education collaboration areas launched in saf base
by xue bingjian and reporter xu yeqing , pla daily : the phenomenon where education at small , dispersed , remote and direct ( sdrd ) units is hard to organize , lacking in resources and individually carried out will be history in a base of the second artillery force .
the reporters learned recently that after a six-month pilot project , the base handed down steps to implement " ideological and political education outline " and several ideological and political education collaboration areas that cover all its sdrd units have officially begun operation .
to promote effective implementation of the ideological and political education outline , the base organized efforts to perform in-depth investigation and research into the status of ideological and political education at sdrd units early this year and sorted out key problems that affected and constrained the time , people and effects of the education , creating the new education pattern of collaboration areas for sdrd units .
the specific practice of the collaboration areas is to break the bound of units and in an area where the sdrd units are relatively concentrated , designate a brigade or regiment level unit as the coordinator , which will conduct centralized planning of theme education . units of different relationships of subordination and affiliation attend lectures together at a close location or hold remote discussions with video systems .
education capabilities are centrally allocated by way of rotational lectures in conjunction with position competitions ; education hardware within a area is used in a coordinated manner , information and data , as well as experience in education of each unit are shared and exchanged , report tours about typical examples in an area are organized regularly , and officers and soldiers discuss what they have learned from study .
each collaboration area has put in place a full-time education contact and a part-time education information collector .
building on this , the collaboration areas also established systems of seeking help with hard problems , joint consultations on major educational topics , emergency briefing of ideological situations , and that of assessment and evaluation .
zhang shengmin , director of the base 's political department , told the reporters that establishing the political education collaboration areas has not only minimized waste of educational resources , but also deepened the effects of education .
some political instructors voluntarily learn new knowledge and seek new methods of education for fear of losing marks in front of officers and soldiers from other units .
officers and soldiers receiving education also digest what is taught , for fear of saying anything unprofessional in front of officers and soldiers from friendly and neighboring units during discussion and analysis .
as such , passions of the educators and the educated are both effectively inspired .

maracaibo ( venezuela ) , july 3 , xinhua ( reporter liu jian )
according to reports of the venezuelan media on the 3rd , 37-year old us veteran goalkeeper keller said in an interview here that he would choose to retire if he couldn't find an appropriate club to play for after copa america .
" if in four to six weeks after copa america i'm still unable to secure a contract for one or two seasons in a high-level league club , then retirement may not be a bad choice for me .
" with monchengladbach relegated to germany 's second division , keller left the team for which he played for more than two seasons .
although keller has the intention to stop , he , " still waiting for a boss at home , " apparently doesn't have to worry about his next employment . he admitted that up to eight teams had made offers for him to join so far .
however , the veteran goalkeeper who has played in the primera división de liga , english premier league and bundesliga , said how he would choose finally would depend on his family , " my child is already nine years old and he has been in three different countries and three different schools with me . my choice now will consider what is better for my family . "
in the gold cup that ended not long ago , keller helped the us team win the title with outstanding performance .
during this year 's copa america , while he was again entrusted with an important task by head coach bradley , nevertheless he could hardly resist so many players with a single fist . the us team , embarking on the expedition as the " young guards , " was not at all rivals of such strong south american teams as argentina and paraguay . in two matches , the goal he kept was broken seven times .
the next match against the colombian team may well be the last performance of the us team and keller in this year 's copa america .

ccdi , i worry about the effect of your " anti-corruption deadline "
[ old confused monk ] posted at 2007-07-02 14:41:10 [ send text message ] [ tabular menu ]
on may 30 , ccdi set a one-month deadline for corrupt elements throughout the country . if they fail to voluntarily confess within this deadline , until june 30 , they will be arrested .
the humble commoner that i am , on hearing that , i couldn't help laughing ; when catching thieves , the police inform the thieves one month in advance , hurry and confess voluntarily or you will be arrested ; throughout the world , where is corruption fought like this ?
doesn't this amount to openly informing corrupt officials to hurry and run , to hurry and remove criminal evidence ?
what is the point ?
wouldn't it be .. well , there is no way to explain .
however , even if it works , how effective will it be ?
can it restrain and frighten corrupt officials ?
we don't rule out that there will be timid ones among them who will voluntarily confess . but won't there be more of them fleeing ?
let 's not mention whether the results are significant now that the ccdi 's anti-corruption deadline is approaching , but it did work in another way .
that is to say , corrupt officials all over all tacitly understood , were secretly delighted . they will all be grateful to the ccdi .
with a period of one month , there is enough time to hurry and transfer assets .
if i were a corrupt official , i would certainly have this interpretation , and i definitely wouldn't go to you and voluntarily declare anything .
corrupt officials ' extreme rejoicing will be expressed like this : " haha , thanks .. "
common people are truly confused . what is going on with the anti-corruption campaign ? why is it so hard to have a vigorous attitude , to be determined in taking action ?
how effective will this kind of corruption fighting be ?
in conclusion , ccdi , i worry about the effect of your " anti-corruption deadline . "
no privatization of land is the bottom line for my heart 's ease

no privatization of land is the bottom line for my heart 's ease
i don't think i am someone easily angered , at least i feel this way .
i have always been rational and even-tempered when expressing myself on the forum , very rarely losing reason , talking nonsense .
and i have constantly maintained strong faith and ardent expectations for the central leadership of the party . no matter how inconsistent reform measures are with my ideas , i can accept these as a " characteristic . "
but if , once land starts being privatized ( or privatization in disguised form ) , then all of this will lose its basis for existence .
lose a thousand soldiers before losing an inch of land . national land resources are the largest social resource .
working people and national land resources are the roots of a state .
as long as the nature of national land resources is unchanged , this nation 's character will not be easily changed . once the nature of national land resources changes , then virtually everything changes .
i'm not a cpc member , but i remember clearly that i once pledged as follows : " love the country , love the people , study hard , and train well , preparing to : dedicate my strength to the communist cause ! "
" study diligently ; work energetically , and bear hardships before enjoying life . strive for the communist cause ! "
people like me who once pledged this and once sang " we are the successors of socialism , " if you are still not shameless enough , then you should bear in mind your own pledge from before .
if you have betrayed your pledge , please honestly stand up and walk away from " communism . " don't cheat the masses by holding on to this sign on the one hand , while on the other hand calculating how to sell this sign at a good price .
of course , i hope all these worries are needless and , hope that i can maintain rationality and calmness forever .
bear in mind that " we are the successors of socialism . "
what if there is nothing to take over ?
one generation of people , two eras of experience
recently someone posed a question : are there any mao loyalists among 30-year-olds ?
later , the age was changed to 20 .
actually , the people of this age group never experienced the mao zedong era . i +wonder if the one who posed this question suffers from a brain malfunction , or a congenital brain defect .
in cities , the most qualified voices about the mao zedong era should be those who personally experienced that time , those who suffered much during +that time , that is , those who were born during the period from 1950-1960 .
after they were born , their parents participated in political activities and were unable to provide equivalent love to their children .
just when they needed nourishment , there was a three-year natural disaster , with much suffering from hunger .
as they began school , they ran into the cultural revolution , wasting several years of study .
some even quit school for good . from 15-17 years of age , without having finished school , they were forced to give up school and respond to the party 's call to go up into the mountains and down into the villages , to support frontier areas .
after they went to work , they regarded the working class as the most honorable , voluntarily choosing the dirtiest and most tiring work .
glory for a time , worthless for life .
when it was time to get married , it was from them that late marriage , late childbirth , and only one child started .
+when it should have been time for a pay +raise , enterprises required diplomas . they couldn't get pay +raises without a diploma .
they worked laboriously to raise their children , supporting them through basic education . when their children were admitted to universities , they ran into the double whammy of education system reform and state-owned enterprise reform , facing tuition increases and unemployment .
growing older day by day , they started getting sick , and were sadly caught up in medical system reform . unable to afford medical fees , their illnesses were denied medical treatment .
as can be seen , all of society 's unfairness unsparingly befell this generation of theirs .
but among these people , few oppose mao zedong , attack mao zedong .
why ?
they were not mao zedong 's minions . they had flesh and blood , with their actual lives within the realm of human relations in our society . they personally experienced the history of going up into the mountains and down to the villages , to unemployment , confronting the social phenomena of both eras .
though they were greatly discontented with , even harboring hatred toward wasted education , hunger , cold , and some negative social phenomena of the mao zedong era , yet : in the view of national spirit , the morality of human relations , and the temperament of society , they still regard the mao zedong era as a good one .
the parents of some cyber-friends belong to this generation . you can chat with them .

" injected watermelons , " " cancer-causing bananas , " and " cardboard-filled buns "
[ by wasteland beyond the great wall ] posted at 2007-07-19 22:02:57 [ send text message ] [ tabular menu ] i remember in the year before last , it was reported that some people had used syringes to inject chemicals into hainan watermelons . as a result , a large batch of watermelons rotted in the field in hainan , and large numbers of watermelon peasants lost money .
cctv later did a follow-up report . it turned out this incident had never happened at all .
this news report sounded weird from the beginning because using syringes to inject chemicals into individual big watermelons not only lacked practical sense , but also was impossible to do in terms of the workload .
i can recall an even more vivid memory from last year . certain news media reported that banana trees in hainan were infected with a disease similar to human cancer , and that infected banana trees were going to die for sure .
as a result , many people mistakenly thought that you could catch cancer by eating bananas . the result was the same , the price of hainan bananas dropped sharply , causing banana farmers to be beyond grief , to pour out endless grievances .
the two above mentioned news reports both caused a sensational effect , in that they directly touched the most sensitive of people 's nerves , that is , food safety issues .
if the news media claims that certain food threatens people 's health , then the news is certain to travel quickly . as for the subjects involved , people 's general attitude is : better to be safe than sorry . for an individual , it's no big deal to eat fewer hainan watermelons and bananas , but for producers and sellers of those products , the impact is way too much .
not long ago , shocking news concerning food safety exploded again in beijing : due to a rise in pork prices , people astonishingly used processed cardboard as filling for buns . this was known as cardboard-filled buns .
on hearing the news , i was shocked too . i felt these peddlers were too wily , going so far as to come up with a trick like this . furthermore , i spread this news far and wide , advising my family and friends never to buy buns on the street again .
but yesterday there was suddenly news that the report on cardboard-filled buns was a piece of fake news , that the whole story was fabricated by one person . while feeling relieved , i also wondered what has gone wrong in today 's news media .
the real truth is , as i learned from a reliable source , zi , a temporary member of the program transparency on beijing tv 's life channel , brought meat stuffing , flour , and cardboard bought from the market , and suggested that wei and others mix cardboard soaked in water into meat stuffing and make buns .
zi used a household dv camera he brought along to shoot the preparation process , followed by editing , then used deception to have the program broadcast .
currently the public security agency has lawfully taken the criminal suspect zi into criminal detention , and will deal with him sternly according to the law .
after the bun incident took place , the government quickly organized relevant departments to carry out investigations , and launched complete and thorough inspections of breakfast markets in beijing , to ensure the safety of common people 's meals .
after the incident was confirmed , beijing tv openly apologized to the public , that it had learned a profound lesson , that it seriously investigated and dealt with the relevant persons responsible , and that it will further strengthen management , shore up weaknesses , and resolutely put an end to false news reports .
it 's just that , although the cardboard-filled buns turned out to be imaginary , it is still uncertain when everyone will dare relax and buy buns from street stalls .
from one perspective , this incident also reflected the importance attached to food safety issues by the government , and its rapidity of action . and to a certain extent , it showed that common beijing people 's meals are relatively safe . though it turned out to be a false alarm , the bun incident served as a reminder to everyone !
toward whom should education be responsible ?
recently i listened to a friend back home talk about some news regarding a school , and couldn't refrain from expressing my personal feelings .
the incident happened at southwest weiyu middle school , a private secondary school in shanghai municipality .
the school decided to arrange its best teachers for three classes at the school which had directly entered high school from middle school through contract . meanwhile , several young teachers with no experience teaching third year high school students and with poor teaching records were assigned to teach classes admitted from outside schools through examination , or from the same school without signing the contract .
the reason was that the contract students agreed to give up applying to other high schools at that time , so according to the agreement , the school must ensure best teachers for them .
yet for students of other classes , the school 's position was : give young teachers a training opportunity .
i couldn't help but sigh with emotion . toward whom should education be responsible ?
i remember many years ago , when i was attending a key senior high school , with dissatisfaction about the teaching level of a math teacher , the whole class presumptuously signed their names requesting that the school replace the teacher .
later on , the school indeed replaced the teacher for us , since the school had promised us to treat all students equally , to be responsible toward all students .
ten years ago i came to america to pursue graduate studies .
one summer , when selecting courses for the coming semester , i found most of the elective courses offered in the department were strong in theory , while none of the few courses strong in functionality were offered .
i approached the dean to talk about it , telling him i thought there was a problem with the curriculum design .
the dean acknowledged that functional courses were not offered because there were not enough teachers . after one or two years , these courses would be offered when teachers were available .
i remember telling him then , " this is your problem , not mine .
i came thousands of miles away from shanghai to study in your school because i was attracted by the introduction of your courses .
if you aren't able to offer these courses , you shouldn't put them in the introduction . otherwise this is false advertising , irresponsible toward me and my family . "
after listening to what i said , the dean pondered for a moment and said : let me see what i can do .
maybe it was too late , since all the courses were already arranged for online registration .
three weeks later , the dean approached me to have a talk . he told me that his job was be responsible toward every student , including me , something to that effect .
he heard my suggestions and tried his best , adding two elective courses strong in functionality , hoping i would understand .
after this happened , i took several courses taught by the dean .
he never held anything against me for having expressed my opinions to him . for each of the courses , he justly gave me an a.
on the eve of graduation , i heard his secretary say that he had tried his best for each student , but not all students were appreciative toward him .
at the graduation ceremony , while giving a speech as an honors student representative , i told the dean : each of us feels heartfelt gratitude for all he did for us , because he tried his best to be responsible toward each of us .
i felt i had made a correct life choice to attend school here .
at this moment , i saw faint tears in the dean 's eyes .. i think that one day , if in china every educator and the entire educational system can take responsibility for each student , china will truly take off soon .
central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament
last sunday we took part in the central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament . the tournament lasted six and a half hours . in the end , our team won the championship .
this tournament was actually organized as a training tournament in preparation for the volleyball tournament of the empire state games summer athletic event in new york .
the coach divided up four participating men 's teams from central new york ( a high school team , a university team , a 35 and over team , and a 45 and over team ) , then regrouped them into teams of four players each , including a setter , to carry out the tournament .
the rules of the tournament were quite interesting . only back row players could attack , and dropping was not allowed within the three-meter line . only the setter could block , and there were no changes of position .
so it was basically testing the teams ' power attack strength , as well as defense , judgment , and positioning .
our team had a 2 meters tall offside hitter , who during attacks held the strong point and high point . he took care of more than 60 % of the attacks and points gained during the competition . a 1.85 meter tall setter had a number of one-man blocks .
a 1.9 meter tall middle hitter made a number of attack mistakes , since he was in a back row .
and me , a 1.75 meter tall left-side hitter , was mainly responsible for receiving opponents ' cross smashes , and occasionally launching surprise attacks at a decent success rate .
altogether , there were seven teams . first was a round robin competition . after our team won a match , the referee repeatedly called foot faults when our right-side hitter attacked , greatly demoralizing our players . utterly shattered , we lost three matches in succession .
but after losing the matches , everyone calmed down . during these three matches , our teamwork stabilized , then we began a winning streak .
after the round robin , our team had won three and lost three , good for 6th place in the group standings .
then came the additional matches . aside from the first place team , teams from 2nd to 7th place were randomly matched to play elimination games .
the mental state and strategy of our team was stable . our weapon was power , and we led all the way to reach the semifinals .
in the semifinal , our opponent was strong at attacking and weak at defending . though it made my arms black and blue , whenever i successfully took a powerful spike , i was twice as delighted as when i succeeded in a spike myself .
without even knowing what the final score was , we won .
during the final , our opponent was balanced at defending and attacking . we succeeded by destroying their attack with serves , and led all the way .
at the end , when the score was 21:24 , we had match point . two successive serves by the opposing team bounced off my arms as i was trying to dig . at 23:24 , our team 's offside hitter ran over and told me that it didn't matter , it was only two balls .
the next ball flew toward me again , and fortunately i took it well . the setter passed the ball back over his head to the offside hitter , and a powerful spike finished the battle .
talking about morals again
regarding free individuals , scattered about , a lot has been said about morals .
i have nothing to repeat in this respect .
what i'd like to say now is about collectivity .
every now and then , we encounter occasions where collectivity is needed .
on these occasions , for a collective , certain morals are needed .
we can often find certain positive morals in those once successful collectives .
this is by no means accidental .
because for these undertakings or activities , it's necessary to overcome certain immediate difficulties , to hold together as one , to put aside those faith-based factors . i believe that in addition , those good moral values are playing a role not to be ignored .
at the very least , a group of people all with very low moral values can hardly work together to achieve great things . that 's highly predictable .
to succeed , it might be an essential quality for a collective to have the wisdom of a rationally far-sighted view of long-term interests .
actually , collectives often use various methods to obtain an identity , such as logos , terminology , and beliefs , as well as moral values .
only when there is brandy in the morning and brandy in the evening can there be orchids everywhere on the road of life .
( an exploratory topic ) in life up to now , how many times have you truly felt happy ?
my close friend from high school finally received a visa . at the end of august , she can head off for graduate studies at a prestigious university on the west coast of america .
today , a few classmates got together . i was really happy for her , that her wish was fulfilled at long last .
seeing her so happy , i was really very envious .
recalling so long ago , i was only that happy during the time when i was admitted to high school . at that time it never occurred to me that i could be admitted to one of the top schools in the city . then as anticipated , i went to college , worked , during that time i never again experienced such happiness .
i was admitted to college , though it was not the one i had earlier desired , so i could not be greatly delighted .
during college , i pinned my hopes on going up north after graduation , to join my sweetheart with whom i had been in love for two years .
the gods did not give me good fortune , and one month before my graduation , he proposed breaking up . all my past dreams went up in smoke .
afterward , that is , i returned up north to work . to date , it has been almost two years since i started working . i have earned enough money for a decent car , but i have never again experienced such happiness .
today i chatted with my close friend . i have a great understanding of her happiness . having cautiously and diligently prepared for a year , now she is finally able to go abroad , to start a new life . that dream come true feeling is truly thrilling .
i have no plans to go on studying , and i dislike life in foreign countries , because i had worked abroad for half a year , and found life abroad unsuitable for me .
seeing my close friend happy , i couldn't help thinking : what about my dreams ?
what can make me feel that happy again ?
maybe finding someone who really likes me , is willing to be with me for the rest of my life .
i think at that time , i would cry with excitement , just as my close friend told me that when she passed the embassy interview and obtained the visa , she couldn't help crying . she was finally rewarded for a year 's diligence and concern .
but what about me ?
on the matter of feelings , time after time i've been cautious , working hard . when can i also have my wishes fulfilled and cry for joy ?
maybe i'm not worth anything . i have never had to worry about my personal career , yet how about my emotions ?
when will my emotions find a place to rest ?
on this issue , i've been constantly feeling very sad .
brothers and sisters , how do you feel ?
in life up to now , how many times have you truly felt happy ?
promoting southeast university school of architecture
hehe , also considered an introduction to the school of architecture for southeast university alumni .
the latest first-hand information plus my personal experiences . replacement guaranteed if it is fake .
dean wang , secretary an , teacher li of the personnel section , and several other teachers from the teaching and research office for architectural technology and science attended for the report . i talked for one hour , and then everyone talked for about one and a half hours .
after the formal report ended , teacher zhang ( assistant dean ) dragged me aside and told me that we were going to have a closed door talk in the office at the back .
he was extremely kind and affable . having closed the door , he told me that it was inappropriate to bring up certain subjects at a formal meeting . he said that he sensed i was unsure about my future income , and then informed me of some particular circumstances concerning teacher incomes at the school of architecture to reassure me .
prior to the report , dean wang gave a brief introduction of the school of architecture , saying that in the field of architecture , there are only six key courses throughout the country , namely two at southeast university , two at tsinghua , one at tongji , and one at tianjin university . there are no others besides these .
he said that in recent years , the state has attached special importance to energy conservation in architecture , eco-friendly architecture , and architectural technology and science . southeast university is interested in attracting a teacher for these areas ,
he said they received over 20 resumes applying for research work in this area , domestic , japanese , and american ( it seems the one was from me ) .
the school of architecture is very serious about this , and has carefully examined these applicants .
compared with architecture schools at some other universities that i know , that of southeast university is indeed in the lead . tongji should keep a step ahead of southeast university in urban planning , yet concerning the area of architectural design , it seems that southeast university could still be slightly ahead ( something i hadn't previously expected ) .
dean wang said the school of architecture has extremely sufficient scientific research funds in the past two years , with its status as an institution in the state 's 985 project for key engineering construction .
he told me that last year , southeast university 's school of architecture was given one-off financial support of 10 million from superior units as construction funds , of which 3.5 million was used directly in purchasing books for the architecture school 's specialized library . ( hehe , this is something even i would like to praise a bit . what a large move ! )
the rest of the funds were almost all used to purchase equipment for experiments in my research area .
rumor has it that several academicians have some complaints .
hehe .. by the way , i feel the college seemingly got ripped off on some imported equipment .
one experiment system for measuring indoor air-tightness , which is widely used in america and could have been obtained for an estimated 500 us dollars , cost southeast university 50 thousand rmb in the end ! ! !
there are other things as well . many colleges and departments of southeast university have now moved to the new campus at jiulong lake , but the school of architecture is determined to stay , saying it wants to provide students with a positive architectural atmosphere . on the old campus there are some classical buildings you can look at , which the new campus does not have .
hehe .. it seems that because other departments have moved out , the school of architecture was able to get another building .
so , dean wang told me straightforwardly that later i can be given my own single office .
i am very embarrassed that when dean wang was talking about this , i wasn't interested at all .
later , teacher zhang dragged me aside and told me that this is quite difficult and that even some old professors do not have single offices because office space is in extremely short supply .
this made me very uneasy . it seems that i still don't fully understate the state of the country .
in a word , i had a wonderful time at southeast university during this visit . leaders and relevant teachers at the school of architecture of southeast university left a positive impression on me with their extremely professional dedication and enthusiasm .
may southeast university develop smoothly , and the school of architecture keep its lead !
the qinhuai river amid the splashing oar sounds and lantern shades
there is no banquet in this world that will not come to an end
i had lunch with my colleagues two weeks ago , bidding farewell to the previous boss .
this boss is recognized as a gallant character among women , and treated us subordinates very well . so we also willingly worked for her , even to the extent of working overtime at night and during weekends , which is rarely seen among americans . she is also considered to be the best boss i've worked for .
because of the need to care for her family and to have more time to educate the children , she left the company and opened a math tutoring center focusing on elementary and middle school students .
i believe that she will succeed in whatever she does !
sun yanzi sends loving care to africa , encounters sandstorm , sustains stone throwing and cuts ( photo compilation )
taking care of sick children .
displaying " arm muscle . "
after the congo visit , sun yanzi has followed world vision to africa 's niger on a second occasion .
at the press conference yesterday , she frankly admitted that this was by far the most grueling journey ever .
the local weather was hot , drinking water was murky , and while visiting the market , she ran into the locals angrily throwing stones in protest , even riding on the camel resulted in cuts sustained from the camel seat .
an eventful journey along the way made her shouted aloud in her heart on several occasions : " i really want to go home ! "
startled to see malnourished young children
with three consecutive years of joining world vision activities to care for poor children , sun yanzi professes to be an experienced spokesperson .
she brought along 30 bottles of vitamins , 40 sets of flashlights and 500 candies to be shared with the local children .
she said that based on much cumulative experiences , the small gifts are always never enough for use no matter how many were brought along .
in nigeria the most serious issue is that mothers have no idea at all in upbringing and young children have serious malnutrition problems .
during her eight-hour car ride from the capital of niger to tawa , a small town 500km away , sun yanzi experienced a sandstorm which was rarely seen locally .
winds blowing the sand , accompanied with rainwater , the colors changed throughout the whole sky .
the jeep she rode in was swaying even more with the wind .
thinking back of that time , sun yanzi disclosed with a lingering fear that although inside the vehicle , she was still very much afraid .
only when she later heard the local people explaining that sandstorm is a symbol of good luck , bringing rainwater to moisturize the earth did she feel slightly relieved .
together with the local residents .
saddened by mothers with upbringing problems
upon arriving at tawa , the local officials held a welcoming ceremony on a dromedary and invited sun yanzi to sit on the camel to receive the acclamation of the locals ,
but the camel , frightened by the camera flash , went completely beyond control and almost threw sun yanzi off onto the ground ,
in the end sun yanzi leapt down on her own , however her carelessness caused her clothing to be ripped by the seat mat which scratched her back and left behind a small bloody mark about 8cm long .
on this trip , sun yanzi visited four local children who were seriously undernourished and ill . among them was a four-month-old baby , weighing only 2.1kg , who didn't look like a human being at all .
she said : " the sight of him saddened me . his condition is really too extreme , but it should also be a problem of the mother , who should be taught about the right nutrition concept . "
key to china 's education -- humanistic
keywords : key to china 's education - humanistic key to china 's education - humanistic
the purpose of education is to enable those being educated to be further adept at survival and enjoyment in the existing social environment .
" survival " is easily comprehendible to everyone , while " enjoyment " may be simply comprehended by everyone as " having fun . " in fact it is not so , the " enjoyment " here belongs to a very broad category .
survival -- includes physical strengthening and mental strengthening
1 . physical strengthening -- increases physical strength through various physical +activities , strengthens coordination , enabling the exercising ability to be continuously increased , thus sufficiently satisfying the needs of physical activities , as well as the needs in dealings with society .
2 . mental strengthening -- able to understand more clearly the society one is in , know oneself , learn to deal with others , learn the skill to adapt to survive and experience enjoyment .
the above discusses the purpose of education , with not much of a relation to this article . now let 's discuss the key point : key to china 's education -- humanistic .
the essential nature of being humanistic is : fully understand the differences of individuals and that they can not be perceived as the same .
club original : several frequently seen stages of learning from buffett
club original : several frequently seen stages of learning from buffett : i am taking a stroll
1) stage 1 : initial acquaintance with buffett gave you the feeling as though you had gotten an invaluable treasure , and you immediately put it into practice . but at this time , your learning of buffett 's concept is still not deep , not penetrative . more often than not , much will be used wrongly , used haphazardly , and used blindly , so it's effective sometimes and ineffective some other times .
2) stage 2 : " outsmart " buffett . after going through a period of learning and practice , almost every " intelligent person " will be pondering over a few questions : for example , what would a buffett with chinese characteristics be like ?
should the theories of buffett be flexibly applied in china ?
can we do better than buffett ?
therefore this stage is mainly characterized by your presumption and blind arrogance in your search for a buffett theory with chinese characteristics .
after going through a period of practice , more often than not , it's still effective sometimes and ineffective some other times , with no continuity . if you're lucky , it is best to take a little loss , and turn back early .
3) stage 3 : back to buffett . after having gone through a few setbacks , you've finally come to realize that you're just a normal human being , not a genius .
the expectations set to yourself should be a little lower , just earnestly learning from buffett would fully suffice .
the simplest , on the contrary , is the most effective , but simple methods often encompass profound theories , and these theories must be understood before simplicity can be carried out right to the end .
the performance of this stage is not great for short term results , not too little for long term results , and has continuity .
4) stage 4 : " stubborn " buffett . after tasting consistent results , the theories of buffett are basically entrenched in this stage , and your attitude toward non-buffett companies is complete indifference .
you continuously learn and deepen the understanding of buffett and put it into practice . the performance at this stage is getting better and better results , with continuity , and entering a virtuous cycle .
for every stage the time needed by each individual varies and is related both to individual situations and luck .

he is one of my old internet pals , who circulated such a story in the group .
i would rather write this story in this column .
i hope that everyone will read this article . it is not expected to become the so-called finest , but some things and some truth can often be appreciated and obtained from a short and pithy story .
this is a story that will make people feel coldness in the heart after they have finished reading it .
i really wish that this is really just a fiction .. because my heart feels really sad ..
three gunmen on a mountainous road apparently set their sights on this beautiful female driver , forcing the mid-size bus to stop and wanting to bring the female driver off the vehicle for some fun . the female driver frantically shouted for help , yet all the bus passengers went absolutely silent .
only a middle-aged thin , feeble man stepped forward bravely in response , but was beaten up and lay wounded on the ground .
the man was furious , shouting and clamoring for all the bus passengers to stop this barbaric behavior , but no one answered . the female driver was dragged without restraint to the thick bushes in the forestry .
half an hour later , the three villains returned with the female driver whose clothing was disheveled .
the bus was about to continue on its journey . the female driver wanted the wounded and bleeding thinly weak man to get off the bus .
the man refused , and firmly stood up .
hey , you get off the bus . my bus is not taking you !
the middle-aged man was vexed , and said : you are such an unreasonable person , was i wrong to try save you ?
you save me ?
what did you save me from ?
the female driver denied vehemently , drawing secret laughter from a few passengers .
the middle-aged man was enraged , hating himself for not having the might of a chivalrous valiant !
even though the rescue was not successful , but still it should not have to result in him being driven off the bus . he was adamant on not getting off .
by the way , i have bought the ticket , and i have the right to sit on the bus !
the driver lifted her face coldly and said : if you don't get off , then i will not drive .
unexpectedly , the busload of passengers who turned a blind eye to the brutal act earlier , as though just awoken from sleep , banded together to persuade the man to alight the bus : get off quickly , we still have other matters , and can't afford any delay !
a few strong and burly passengers even thought of going forward to drag the middle-aged man off the bus , causing one to think of the plot in the story " boule de suif " written by maupassant .
the three villains gloated , grinning gleefully .
among them was a black skinned scoundrel who unabashedly said : we brothers have played her well !
the other two villains also blabbered nonsense : she is my partner , it is none of your business !
a quarrel ensued , until that man 's luggage was thrown out the bus window , and he was pushed violently down subsequently .
the bus was once again smoothly traveling on the mountainous road . the female driver stroked her hair once , and pressed on the tape recorder .
the bus was reaching the hill-top , and would go downhill round the bend . on the left side of the bus was a road carved into the mountain , on the right was an overhanging steep cliff .
the bus quietly increased speed , and the female driver 's face was extremely calm , both hands tightly gripping on the steering wheel , as tears glistened in the eyes .
one of the villains sort of detected something , and said : drive slowly , drive slowly , what the hell are you trying to do ?
the female driver did not speak up . the speed of the bus became faster and faster .
the villains attempted to grab the steering wheel , but instead the bus was like an arrow that had left its bowstring shooting towards the cliff ..
on the next day , the local newspapers reported : fatal accident occurred at fuhu mountain range yesterday , a mid-size bus tumbled down the cliff .
the bus driver and thirteen passengers were all killed .
the middle-aged man who was chased off the bus halfway on the road cried upon reading the newspaper .
no one knows what he was crying for , or why he was crying .
the dark side of train stations
recently i've been out for a few days . traveling by train , i discovered the dark side of various train stations during the summer transportation season !
i wish to understand what is there to pay attention to at the various train stations .
i am from changsha , let 's talk about the condition in changsha first , everyone going to changsha train station must take note of it !
1 . train tickets that take forever to buy : at changsha train station , during every major holiday or the beginning and the end of school winter and summer recesses , it is absolutely impossible to buy tickets , even going early to queue would be futile .
the most flawless reply i've gotten from my query was that the travel agency has booked all the tickets !
but from ticket scalpers , just pay more money , you can get as many as can be .
2 . beware of fake tickets : the tickets from ticket scalpers might not be genuine . shuangfen and xinhua in hunan got rich , one by relying on fake certificates and licenses , and the other by depending on fake silver coins and fake coins , so fake ticket is really no big deal !
to patch up is of the lowest class . some fake tickets masquerade as real ones so well that even train staff can't tell apart !
3 . who has touched my bill : when buying things in stores at the train station , one has to be extra careful !
if you wish to pay in small change , ha-ha , your bill will always be missing a corner , so you have to change to large denomination bills .
but after you have replaced them with large denomination bills , the shop owner would definitely say it can't be broken up after he has got it in his hand , and still want to accept your small bills missing a corner after returning your big bill , by this time you just have to take back a piece of fake big bill !
4 . magician gives changes : not all shop owners will swap your big bill , as that is against the law , and the risk is higher !
therefore a few " timid " shop owners have to resort to being magicians . you clearly see him calculating the change to be correct , but wait till you have the chance to calculate on your own . ha-ha , it's short of a few bills .
5 . foreign liquors everywhere : there are not too many teahouses at the train station , but after entering you will understand .
few glasses of inferior quality red wine can be sold at martell 's price . if you do not pay for it , probably even your mother will not recognize you afterwards .
6 . rose and firearms : around the train station are numerous video halls . the titles of the shows played may still seem very attractive to us common men . so if you enter to take a look , you will surely be deemed as a distinguished guest with thoughts to relax . then immediately a rose girl will come over to keep you company . of course you have to be able to afford the expenses of a five-star hotel ; otherwise the machete will not always be chopping in the direction of foreigners !
7 . ice and fire : if you have a changsha 's accent or are very familiar with changsha , then you can forever give up the thought of getting a cab at the front of the station . the face of the cab driver can let you know what is called a frosty june !
but if it is your first time coming to changsha , congratulations to you . even if you are going to a place within five minutes ' walking distance , the driver will warmly bring you to admire for a while some of the finesse in a state-level major tourist city , and will even let you have a gulp of the famous baisha brand secondhand smoke , and a sniff of the distinctly local taste of the betel nut .
of course , you have to fork out the transport fare on your own , don't you ?
nanjing subway driver should undergo psychological counseling as soon as possible
keywords : psychological counseling
according to the report by xinhua news agency , on the evening of july 3 , a suicide was committed on the railway track of nanjing subway .
according to the description of the reporter , " zhu zhengting , age 22 , a young subway driver , met with a nightmarish scene . yesterday when the reporter met him , he seemed to have not yet recovered from the horror , sitting upright on the chair , and his eyes looked a little entranced . "
obviously , the psychology of this young driver has been dealt with a huge blow and urgently requires psychological counseling , or would otherwise impair him for life .
not sure if everyone still remembers an incident that took place more than a decade ago . the rescuer who saved a little girl from an abandoned oil well in the us state of texas finally chose to commit suicide and ended a painful life after having gone through long periods of psychological torture .
at that time , though he was put through simple psychological counseling , but , as people placed greater attention on the little girl who was rescued , yet neglecting the person who needed psychological counseling even more , they finally failed to prevent the tragedy from happening .
similarly , in the dover straits smuggling incident a few years back , the first british police officer that opened up the container was said to have fainted in fright on the spot .
subsequently , the british side carried out more than two months of psychological counseling on him before he had recovered and returned to normal .
the psychology of humans will sustain huge damages after suffering catastrophic shocks . at this moment , it is very difficult to thoroughly recover depending solely on one 's individual efforts . an emotional scar will often be left behind .
as such emotional scar is very difficult to be discovered by outsiders , and even if it is discovered , there is nothing that can be done , most parties concerned will suffer for life .
however , people in our country do not pay enough attention to caring about psychological trauma . especially it is often after the optimum recovery period has lapsed that the family members or governing authorities of the parties concerned suddenly recall ; it is all too late then .
nowadays , with the diversification of the media , we often hear of some heart-wrenching incidents , where many young teenage girls were hurt , and many young children saw with their own eyes the cruel sufferings inflicted on their own parents .
after these teenagers have been rescued , they are not often heard to have received psychological therapy ; more often relatives are engaged in kinship solace .
even though victims may feel that they are already safe , the previous hurt has become a permanently incurable scar , always to be awoken , affecting the lives of the parties concerned .
it is gratifying to know that the superior of this driver has given him timely consolation which could also release some of his psychological pressure .
after all the responsibility of the incident does not lie with the driver and the driver has also taken all measures when he discovered the situation . he has done all he could except for stopping the tragedy from happening .
i believe that even if it is not the driver concerned , anyone present at the scene would have been given a fright with the happening of the incident .
however , despite being given a fright , the others have no connection of responsibility to the suicide victim and can gradually forget over time .
the driver concerned is not so lucky ; he has to remember , and probably for life .
if he can free himself from it , he can count his blessings ; but if he cannot free himself from it , he will often be tortured by such a fright .
the modern concept of health is more comprehensive than in the past , and mental health has started to be watched closely by people .
it is regrettable that the mental state of mankind is depressing , especially in cities , where the mental state of people is not ideal , and most people more or less have hidden depression , while some people have not been able to arouse adequate attention when they are faced with problems .
thinking about the earlier lesson with the " yang lijuan incident , " some irresponsible media have made the torturous mental issue of a patient as a tabloid subject , causing bad influence to society ,
such incidents should be prevented in the future , otherwise our society will really become a morbid society .
the five teachers of dongkou no.5 middle school have much sentiments after the 1st phase of new curriculum training
keywords : dongkou no.5 middle school , teacher 's 1st phase , new curriculum training the five teachers of dongkou no.5 middle school have much sentiments after the 1st phase of new curriculum training from the morning of july 13 till the 15th , the first batch of dongkou no.5 middle school teachers who participated in the new curriculum training began to truly feel the pressure and motivation of the new curriculum .
at the same time they also feel that the new curriculum reform is a rare opportunity and challenge to the school education advancement .
on the morning of the 13th , due to the road repair on sections of dongkou 's shijiang and longhui road causing vehicles to be blocked , by the time the few teachers of dongkou no.5 middle school and the teachers from suining and other locations rushed to the city department of education , it was already past 1pm , and already long past office hours , yet the education department staff unloaded the training materials that were already loaded onto the vehicle , just to process relevant procedures for us . we collected the training materials .
at 2:30 in the afternoon , the teachers who were dust covered and tired from traveling braved the summer heat and separately entered city no.1 middle school , city no.2 middle school , and city no.6 middle school multimedia classrooms to listen to the lectures by relevant experts .
in the subsequent two days , the teachers either listened to the lectures given by authors of the teaching materials or listened to the teaching experiences of the teachers from the provinces that have already entered the new curriculum reform . some of teaching researchers or teachers who had participated in the new provincial curriculum training also presented their learning experiences and gains .
on the morning of the 15th , after listening to all the training courses , there was also an exam . the five teachers from dongkou no.5 middle school , due to their conscientious learning , with no tardiness nor leaving early , had smoothly passed the examination and received their completion certificates .
during training periods , teachers of dongkou no.5 middle school had mutual exchanges amongst themselves . initially they all felt that the new curriculum tends to be rather unfamiliar , heavier in assignments , have greater pressure , and not easy to grasp .
however , after the training , everyone felt that this is also an opportunity and a challenge .
all were determined to strive to adjust their knowledge structure , and satisfactorily complete the task of curriculum reform as much as possible .
the second batch of teachers participating in the new curriculum training has already arrived on the 16th at relevant locations to undergo training .

happy to make friends with fans of superstars
keywords : fans of superstars
i have a female friend whom i have never seen before .
i told her directly , i truly admire you !
because you have directly expressed your love .
she likes this male host of a popular taiwan variety program and never conceals such feelings .
when this male host was presenting a program in jinan , she flew to jinan ; when this male host went to changsha as a guest performer , she flew to changsha .
the male host said in a book that a friend gave him a catapult with no pellets , and she told me in pleasant surprise that " the catapult was given by me . "
she also participated in doing up an e-magazine on this superstar , and she'd show me every edition very happily .
all along i pretty much like to associate with some of those people who honestly identify themselves as fans of certain superstars .
these superstars can be movie or tv stars , sports stars , or can also be a great man .
i've never felt these friends to be superficial , and i feel that they are so adorable .
these people are usually genuine in nature , like means like , dislike means dislike .
to be in contact with this type of people , it will be very relaxing .
even though they will not take into consideration 100 % of your feelings , at least you do know what they are happy and sad about ; and know that there will be a greater sense of security associating with them .
these people are also very honest .
do you know that with regard to expressing one 's likes , some bravery is also needed ?
because of this , many people just silently like one person in a lifetime , or perhaps he might also look down on those who brazenly claim to be a fan of so-and-so .
honesty is to me the biggest virtue in a person , be honest to friends , and be honest to yourself .
but to achieve this point is actually very difficult .
to be able to like a celebrity also proves that deep in his heart there are selfless elements .
some of my friends are fans of some superstars .
sometimes in order to take a glance at the superstar , they can endure hardship and can make many sacrifices , scrimping to eat less , with the left hand raising a banner , and the right hand clicking the camera , while the mouth is screaming away .
it can be said that they are foolish , immature , but to be able to love someone without asking for any returns , this requires much selflessness .
because in reality there are so much narcissism , self-conceitedness , and nonchalance toward others that this selflessness appears to be valuable .
thus , when everyone starts to chat and talk about one 's likes for so-and-so superstar , if someone should say that i have never idolized anyone ,
ha-ha , you must be careful then .
teresa cheung , the person
keywords : teresa cheung
by chance i watched an edition of the kangxi come , starring teresa cheung , that i haven't seen for ages .
i think that was when color blossoms was being promoted .
at the time i watched color blossoms , i was obsessed with erotic movies .
at that time i was surprised that pornographic movies could be made with such aesthetic appeal , and are also sometimes very interesting . they are called erotic movies .
actually i have not seen many erotic movies , but they have been from quite a few countries .
the very first ones i saw were south korean and japanese .
later i also saw several movies from countries of the third world , latin america , and europe , but i seldom saw hollywood or french movies .
of these , there are two movies which i can't bear to delete from my computer . one is youth , the other is color blossoms .
the first half of color blossoms is pretty good . everyone is a newcomer , putting forth a lot of effort in acting . the director is also disciplined .
the latter half is somewhat abnormal . i could not take it at all .
in fact what i want to say is that teresa cheung says on the program that she has had boyfriends in almost every country in the world , except in africa .
at present , she has four boyfriends .
regarding this , i am afraid average people cannot take this . they would say this person is loose .
but the key issue is she was very candid when talking about these issues , did not carry herself in any way that would make people uncomfortable .
she also talked about her own thoughts about love .
for instance , both people should be financially independent .
i assume that personalities should also be independent ; so each controls their own destiny .
for i know that when people are in love , love is living , is selfish . how can you allow the person you love to accept someone else 's love at the same time ?
based on my experience and assumptions , i think teresa cheung 's love must not have been simple sentimentality . it must have been typical elder-sister-younger-brother love .
in elder-sister-younger-brother love , the elder sister can accommodate anything , including possessing several younger brothers at the same time . meanwhile , the younger brother can emotionally become attached to the elder sister without reservation , because of her attractiveness and motherliness . however , he perhaps does not mind whether he is the only one , and so on .
but from teresa cheung 's words , i also noticed that she is actually a person who really knows how to enjoy life .
for instance , she loves to travel to the point of being +crazy .
so i have reason to believe that she also has a very splendid life .
if this was before , i'm afraid that i would not have accepted these phenomena .
similarly , i have now accepted many people . in fact this has little to do with tolerance . rather , as long as one straightens his thoughts , there won't be any absolute love or non-love .
these people are , for instance , passerby a , friend b , zhang ziyi , buddy c , and sister lotus .
when looking at other people 's lives , you yourself are an observer . to other people , how can you not be the owner of your own life ?
this is just like : although i am no longer in jianghu , my legend will always be in jianghu .
people should always have some entertaining spirit
keywords : entertaining spirit
a person 's life is a very tiring thing , so we should have some entertaining spirit .
either satirize ourselves , or see others making fools of themselves , gossip about others .
for instance , go to tian ya 's " entertaining gossip " board and relax .
inside , everybody speaks freely . but of course , you should have some ability to tell right from wrong , because various " wrongs " occur all the time .
the consequence of " say whatever you want " is that you end up not knowing what you are talking about . yet you should be clear about what you are looking at .
little s called kevin tsai a " scholar . "
if i am considered one , then i'd be the type who has read a little bit , but has not yet fully grasped the meaning .
fortunately , i would always know my own limitations .
but simply put , in doing a little bit of reading , i have gotten some things that i wanted to get .
and it so happens that i like to think aimlessly , so i think while reading , and that way get to understand many truths , many things become suddenly clear .
therefore , i have slowly cultivated some habits . for example , i tell myself to be a bit harder on myself , and a bit nicer to others .
whenever encountering a problem , first search for an explanation within myself .
handle things with a little bit of reason , handle friendship with a little bit of emotion .
be a reserved person , do things with a low profile .
but you know , people are not that good . they will always be selfish , will always consider their own gains and losses , will always be extremely emotional when reason is called for , and damned rational when it is time for passion .
the good thing is , i won't regret the choices i make .
what 's done is done , i accept the consequences of failure .
why think about so many useless things .
it 's good that i am not that kind of uptight person , acting in ways to enhance my scholarly status . i am just an ordinary person .
only i'm different from some people in that i don't have to be cynical , i'm a little bit rational with everything .
or for instance , my faith is particularly strong .
once i come to trust someone , then i believe everything about him is good .
if there are deficiencies , i am more than willing to accommodate them .
even though i'm not the kind of person who is surrounded by friends , i'm the type who puts oneself in friends ' shoes .
but because of this , i'm quite serious in choosing friends .
i also really can't understand why currently there are so many people who believe so much of what 's in the newspaper .
or else in their minds , reports nowadays are just as sacred as in the past .
but in this world , there are still a lot of things i don't understand .
joking .
i slap myself on the face .
song dandan 's " the secrets of happiness " is warm and touching .
keywords : song dandan , the secrets of happiness
i recently read in the newspaper that song dandan has newly published a book called the secrets of happiness .
i really wanted to read it ,
because i wondered how a woman who has reached this age , having this kind of profession , having experienced changes in family and career , after these , would perceive herself and life .
as expected , i was not disappointed . after reading it , there were two things that touched me : first , it was like i got an electric shock , for looking at other people 's lives can be the same as seeing one 's own shadow ; second , i was very moved by the detailed aspects of some close family relationships .
why did i get an electric shock ?
song dandan wrote in the book : " i overlooked an important principle in life : giving is more rewarding than receiving . "
" i am always busy with giving , busy making myself happy . "
i cannot , nor do i really know how to receive . i overlooked allowing others to give , that is , overlooked other people 's right to achieve happiness . "
i realized that i myself have been enjoying such happiness . i probably should pay some attention to this matter in the future .
if one can honestly face one 's past , present it all to the public , this takes substantial courage .
this book covers her first love , her unsuccessful marriage with ying da , as well as in-depth self analysis , and the close relationship with her son .
this book is also worth praising for another point , because the publisher originally must have pushed her very hard to focus on i love my family , ambush from all sides , and the series of shows partnered with zhao benshan .
yet she must have persevered , with zhao benshan only mentioned at the very end . as for ambush from all sides and i love my family , they are hardly mentioned .
this book is suffused with a 40-year-old woman 's insights about life , love , family , and relationships . it is warm and touching .
a busy vacation
keywords : vacation , busy
i have been on vacation for nearly a week , but still haven't had any free time .
i went to the university for a meeting , and have to prepare documents and a draft speech for a meeting i will attend next week .
this vacation is going to be very busy .
if nothing unexpected happens , according to my plan , there are three meetings to attend , four or five cities to go to .
life is suddenly filled with many contents , of the same and different categories . i have almost forgotten how vacations were spent in the past .
it seems from my memories that there wasn't much free time , either .
it 's only that in the past , i used to have long periods of time that i could arrange myself , while this year there seems to be less time .
good thing ? or bad thing ?
being busy can be more gratifying , but if it yields no effects or accomplishments , the importance of being busy has to be discounted .
but sometimes it seems that life cannot be entirely measured by effects . life is to be enjoyed leisurely . being relaxed , peaceful , fulfilled , and happy is also a kind of achievement , even though sometimes such achievement can't be measured by the standard of social evaluation .
everyone needs to be recognized according to social values and self values . if the two can't be obtained together , what can we do ?
marxism teaches us to first respect social values , asking individuals to make contributions to society . but in fact , a healthy and sound society should also fully respect individuals ' wishes and value choices , and create conditions for realizing individual values .
i suddenly thought about these , and increasingly discovered that the marxist theory is really very effective .
surely , it's true in theory , but sometimes people in real life will inevitably get confused .
even if realizing self values would not jeopardize social values , would each of us actual individuals content ourselves with truthful self realization without worrying about social evaluation ?
or can our satisfaction with self values depart from social evaluation ?
it seems very difficult .
therefore each of us , while trying our best to be good ordinary and common individuals , will inevitably seek the uncommon and extraordinary ; but if life is wasted , we will always blame ourselves .
this is probably one social characteristic of people .
going on vacation , it has been somewhat relaxing .
at a minimum , i can have time to watch dvds , can relax and play for awhile .
just a couple of thoughts , work has to be done , the days go on as usual .
next week again , i have to go to xi'an for a meeting .
although i haven't been to , i don't seem to like the city very much , due to some " biases . "
i hope this trip can change my perception of the city , haha .
" living very much as a feminist "
keywords : male , feminist , era
in the afternoon , ying called me , and we chatted for a while , then i mentioned i watched happy boys .
ying said : " how can this be ? you are so adorable . after watching super girls you are watching happy boys . you must be a hunan satellite tv 's faithful viewer . "
i said that 's right .
ying said she had seen a few male talent search programs and felt that they are just sissies , my sentiments exactly , but i told her that happy boys has reached top 4 out of 5 , next week will be top 3 out of 4 , with all singing exceptionally well , and each being excellent .
ying , who studies mass culture and consumer culture , said excitedly that she wanted to watch it in the coming week , after all it has reached the most crucial stage of the competition and is surely worth watching . paying close attention to these may just as well accumulate a few case study resources for future studies .
next we chatted about this being a pretty boy 's era .
men finally become the " subject " from being the " spectator , " while women , who were previously " objects , " become " principal parties " and can , from an observer 's point of view , appreciate and face a variety of male talent shows in this pretty boy 's era .
ying said this is a woman 's liberation and is kind of a feminism hallmark .
then she went on to say : " don't you feel that you are living very much like a feminist ? "
hearing ying 's remark , i laughed aloud happily .
this remark itself is significantly filled with feminism , only that i do not have as good a discerning ability as ying 's to be able to elaborate on these things more profoundly and clearly .
i like the song by chen chusheng on happy boys very much . there is a kind of special touch , the kind of strength that pin-points to a person 's heart and penetrates through space and time , extremely crystal-clear and very soothing .
su xing 's songs have got many styles , with plentiful feelings . his features are elegant and gentle , yet giving people a feel of relaxation and cheeriness .
zhang jie 's songs are full of resonance and energy , especially the two songs he presented challengingly today , the way you are and past gone with the wind , both of which are oldies that i like very much , with a deep impression .
wei chen bears a resemblance to lu yi 's cute and fresh face . he was said to be well liked by girls , and of course the voice is not bad too .
with these top four contesting at the next stage , this should be good to watch .
i'm looking forward to watching their exciting performance next week !
jun. 29 , a day of confused and mixed " kimchi " feeling
keywords : kimchi , seoul
jun. 29 , a day of confused and mixed " kimchi " feeling international roaming has been activated , but after disembarking from the plane , the cellular phone seems as though to have a flat battery , still not displaying even one bar of reception , perhaps the extent of global roaming refers to the reach of the heart , and takes effect only upon the next payment due date .
for the next few days , i will be out of touch with everyone for a brief period . ha-ha , will anyone worry for me as a result ?
switching on the voicemail service is only a wish to prove who are the ones missing me .
whether it is for business or personal .
but the issue is , who do i wish to be missed by ?
my heart , i wonder when it has started , is becoming blank again .
i don't understand why there will always be some people whom you wish for them to stay but just can't hold them back , while there will be those whom you don't wish for them to stay but they always think that they can squeeze themselves in . is this like discussing the business world ?
but can the heart , regardless whether there is a place for you or not , always allow itself to be stuffed with these " white gloves ? "
after all , materialism and the heart just cannot be equally compared !
our vehicle is driving along the highway to busan .
the department chief is driving without uttering a word , and there 's nothing for me to speak up either ,
after all he does not understand chinese nor comprehend english , while i merely speak a few expressions in broken english .
i'm looking at the computer and striking on the keyboard in considerable boredom , besides the noise of the keyboard in the vehicle , there 's the cheerful voice of the korean girl from the gprs navigation device , and everything seems to be exceptionally calm .
out of the window , all that could be seen is merely the uninterrupted greenery and grayish blue sky .
keeping silent doesn't seem much to be my character .
unexpectedly , english is the only thing that induced a sense of endearment to me in this country ,
to me , the scene of circles appearing before my eyes no longer has any other function except for inducing the effect of dizziness caused by radiation .
i think , korea will definitely not be producing compasses .
because , there is no demand in the market .
seoul is very clean , thoroughly clean , meticulously clean .
unfortunately , during my few days of stay in seoul , i didn't have the time to visit other places besides the work place and the department store ; all impression was limited purely to the views along the road .
fortunately , everything still remains lovely !
koreans are traditionally courteous , a methodical smile , intent listening , refined and sedate ,
all that can be observed is the beautiful appearance , traditional customs , ancient architectures , and the scrupulous civilization .
is this hypocritical ?
it is still better to be hypocritical , at least everyone is polite !
the ugly side of things that is not seen may be perceived as non-existent .
korea cuisine is excellent !
just that i don't like and don't understand why is it that all the choices here and there are just kimchi presented in different forms and assortment , and of course , seaweed is indispensable too .
in retrospect , koreans are very adept in their gastronomical knowledge . they can differentiate the difference between kimchi preserved above ground or underground , as well as the length of time , where the precision can be down to the minute .
this indirectly shows that the conscientiousness of koreans may be related to their consumption of kimchi from morning till night .
the only headache is that i don't know what kind of recipe combining kimchi will be used at that japanese tofu restaurant the department chief is bringing us to .
recalling the chinese cuisine last night , i sort of felt like crying . the dishes were all localized to suit the korean taste , and the only thing edible ended up to be kimchi .
ah , thanks to china southern airlines that provides kimchi along with its in-flight meal .
the airline must think that i should start adapting right from the moment i board the plane .
two more days to go before i return to my country . if there is still no one i might miss , then it is better off to reminisce the braised meat prepared by auntie .
after all , contentment of the stomach is relatively more direct than the heart .
naturally , this has nothing to do with kimchi .
two trees
two trees , one is me , the other was my brother-in-law .
we mutually provided shade and took care of each other .
people of my generation typically have many children , but i only have elder and younger sisters , no brothers at all , hence the appearance of my brother-in-law was extremely important .
we are all kids from poor background , joining in the numerous family chores since young . although i had been striving to put on a manly front all along and wishing to complete the tasks like an expert , recognition from my father was never received .
i had the disorder of sleep walking since young . though not too serious , it was inevitable that i was absent-minded when doing the house chores .
for example , my dad wanted me to patch up some cement to the chimney of our old house , and i deftly climbed up the roof to do it .
the chimney was patched up fine , but when rain came , the house leaked with water , the reason being that i had trampled on the roof tiles and broke them .
take for another example , my dad asked me to change the light bulb , the kind with old fashioned incandescent bulbs .
by the time i stepped onto the stool , the bulb had instead dropped from the grip of my hands onto the concrete floor and shattered .
examples like these are too numerous to give ; therefore when my brother-in-law entered my family , these nitty-gritty tasks were naturally undertaken by him , and they were beautifully done , not requiring any outlay of labor cost .
meanwhile , i was happily stashed away in a corner reading those brick-like books leisurely .
after that we grew into two trees , two large trees that could sufficiently support the pillar of a family .
and my dad was inevitably diminished , and sitting in his wheelchair , he has become an anonymous shrub under the dense shade .
who would have expected the sudden change in situation when my 50-year old brother-in-law suddenly came down with a serious illness . it was hard to believe that this green and luxuriant big tree on the surface was approaching that fearful death .
on that dazzlingly sunny summer day , just outside of the operation room in peking union medical college hospital , the doctor delicately said : there is no value in surgery anymore .
at most he can live for another two months .
at that moment i felt like i was suddenly being shot by a stray bullet ; my soul had instantly left my body , and i stood there rigidly like an idiot .
i started to sleep walk again , seeing the old courtyard of our house , and the busy figure of my young brother-in-law in the courtyard .
it was the screech of my elder sister that awoke me . i hurriedly ran to hug my sister who had collapsed on the corridor of the hospital ; our tears flowed all over our faces as we hugged together .
the bright sun had suddenly disappeared , and darkness formed before my eyes .
after returning to our city from beijing , my brother-in-law knew of his own condition very quickly , and after a session of bitter crying with my elder sister , his mood returned back to normal instead .
my brother-in-law started to methodically go about his after death arrangements , for example , telling his own son : take care of your granny for me ; her remains are to be placed together with your granddad 's after her death , and this is how the tomb should be opened up to put the bones together .
go and visit your maternal grandfather often , and buy some practical stuff for him to use on holidays and new year .
for example , he said to my younger sister : after i leave , you must come often to see your elder sister , for she will definitely feel very lonely being all alone .
i did my best to find time to visit him . when facing me , he looked regretful instead .
we often had nothing to say facing each other , just like two trees unable to speak to each other though they are alive .
these are two grown trees , the training and experience from the elements have made us able to face difficulties calmly , what is there to relay to me ?
it seemed that there was no need to do so .
because you know in your heart : after you leave , my elder sister , and your children with my elder sister , and this big family , can only depend on this tree which is me for sole support .
why am i born a man ?
as a man , regardless whether you are willing or not , you have to lift up your shoulders without hesitation and undertake the duty .
the only regretful thing is : why would your tree wither so early , shouldn't you have a rich and splendid old age ?
the day you left was the first day of the chinese new year .
it was a time when chinese all over the world happily ushered in the new spring , yet you left on your own .
perhaps in another dimension , there is the birth of yet another new young life ?
the n-minutes of life
the reason to have such a fashionable looking topic is because in that moment of extreme despair , the hazy mind is absolutely too occupied to care about time .
like an innocent one , receiving a death sentence ruling out of thin air , can he still calmly challenge the grammar errors in the " verdict ? "
that was a winter 's day , and it was cold in the youth section .
i don't know who was on duty for the day , and there was no fire set up in the fireplace for the whole day .
because there were rumors of strong earthquake , upon returning back indoors in the evening , we were just too lazy to start the fire again .
on the long wide bed which could sleep 12 people , the four of us wrapped ourselves in cotton quilts , and were playing the poker game of " 3-beat-1 " while trembling under the dim lights , to win our meal tickets .
suddenly , a surging noise from afar was approaching . the few of us looked at one another just for a brief moment and immediately became aware of the impending catastrophe .
so we threw aside the cards in our hands , threw ourselves to the ground , squeezed through two narrow room doors , and swarmed out .
just at that moment when we ran out from our dormitory , that poor thatched cottage laid from stones was reduced to rubbles in a flash .
those of us who rushed to the courtyard felt as if we were standing on a staggering boat , like a tumbler rocking front and back , unable to stand steady .
in those few seconds , all the buildings around us , +contrary to the past stable images , were emitting weird " creaking " sounds one after another , swaying to a close to frenetic break dance before being reduced to a grimy death .
the overhead electrical cable lines were naturally unwilling to be left out , " bang " and broken , they scattered like whips in all directions .
and in front and behind of us , the raging earthquake demon was displaying its fireworks in celebration of its own creativity , the multi-colored flashes of earth light could compete with the visual effects of any major war film and the rumbling sounds from the ground , like the battle drumbeats , were torturing every fragile nerve tract .
there was only one thought in my mind : doomsday has already arrived for mankind !
i can imagine : the earth under my feet abruptly opens up , while the boiling magma issues a blazing invitation like the steel melt , mankind starts free-falling like mole crickets and ants in droves into the magna , too stingy to leave even a trace of blue smoke , all vanishing instantly .
my spine felt a pleasant numbness as if icy water was being injected ; the faces of my few companions were like paper masks floating in and out of the dimness .
i was thinking : was mankind just going to say goodbye to this colorful world this way ? were tens of thousands of years of civilization vanishing without a trace from this moment on ?
but i was not even 20 years old yet , the flowery youth had just blossomed , and the perception of joy in life was just forming , i was so reluctant to part from this beautiful life !
my parents and my loved ones , where are all of you , what are you doing , are you all still alive in this world ?
facing the sneering face of death at this moment , how i miss you !
.. i didn't know how much time had passed before the muddle-headed me finally discovered in joy that the sound coming from the ground was gradually weakening , with the shaking of the earth getting slower and slower , and the fireworks above my head were no longer scintillating .
a giant battleship tossing in the terrifying waves had finally sailed slowly into a tranquil harbor .
a young and fragile heart had finally been gingerly placed back into its original position after weathering through near insane havoc .
oh this earth , my homeland , you have finally let us feel the warmth and endearment of home once again !
a sense of blissfulness after surviving a calamity filled me up like a warm current from the bottom of my feet to my entire body .
facing what was once a cordial and warm youth section courtyard which had now become a wasteland of rubbles , yu doudou , who had just passed the age of 17 , steadied herself and suddenly burst out crying .
everyone was infected and hot tears flowed all over .
snow started to drop from the sky , was it condolence fluttering down for the misfortune of mankind ?
that year , the haicheng earthquake took away as many as 1,000 lives .
experts said : thanks to the timely prediction , and the fact that it occurred at a time when people were not asleep , otherwise a strong earthquake measuring 7.3 magnitudes would have taken at least the lives of 100,000 people !
merely a year apart , the tangshan earthquake erupted , and over 200,000 people died .
those matters in the village
there are many families in the village , among them is a nan family that is the most detestable . there is a well-known remark circulating in the village : beware of fire , beware of theft and beware of the nans .
in fact the whole family of nan is still rather honest in comparison .
some families will steal a melon or something from the land of others on normal days , and the members of the nan family are just committing petty theft , and the nans need not be isolated to the extent by everyone in the whole village .
everyone is not clean , who has been offended by members of my nan family ?
the nan family started organizing some very prestigious activities to show that this village was built initially by the ancestors of the nan family and that the nan family has always been a major family growing grains . in addition it has fostered some well-known individuals in history as well as contributed significantly to the building of this village .
at the same time , the members of the nan family have intimately invited the cadres of the village to their home to take a look and have a seat .
in short , the members of the nan family are very diligent , wanting to fight a proactive battle and striving to be powerful .
not long ago , the xi family did a very disgraceful thing , carrying out brutal persecution towards the seedlings of the nan family .
the xi family depends on matchmaking for their fame in the village , and all the young men in the village have benefited from the xi family .
if it hadn't been for the good matchmaking done by the xi family , how would all these families and households have been able to produce so well !
however this time round , the xi family actually used black bricks to crush the seedlings of the nan family at a place called hong dong . it was utterly despicable , and the whole village was infuriated , all remarking that there is no good person in the xi family .
the nan family demanded an explanation from the xi family , arousing the sympathy from everyone in the whole village .
everyone in the village spitted in the direction of the xi family .
hence , the battleground was relocated to the xi family .
the nan family is determined to create a good image prior to the 17th village meeting and let this most flourishing nan family prosper .
though the cadres of the village have daily advised everyone to live in harmony , this village called zhong is never peaceful .
the most repugnant thing is that in the short period of two to three months , even the pigs have started to clamor for revolt , demanding for a rise of their own value !
two years ago , when chickens suffered from flu in various villages , weren't they all killed ?
why don't you pigs have no brains ?
you can clamor for revolution , but you can't escape from being beheaded !
and mei village and ying village which are used to bullying people may not seem to be peaceful either , even though their days are well-off .
there were some vagrants , knocking down tall buildings in mei village today , and throwing some small explosive cans to the subway of ying village tomorrow , that is scary enough to people , isn't it ?
therefore , the people of zhong village generally feel that though it is disgusting not to be able to afford houses , treat their illnesses , or go to school , being able to peacefully do some farming , take on some work , and build up some relationship can be also considered stepping into the new era .
the nan family , and the xi family , ah , which family doesn't have their own undisclosed dilemmas ?
take for example members of the wan family residing at a little bend in the southeastern part of the village . though the head of this household is a little shameless , isn't it that our great zhong village still shelters this family just the same ?
with the 2008 all village sports meet to be held in our zhong village soon , save some energy on those trivial matters in the village and reform those delinquent children in the village .
all families and households , light up and start the fire . those who have money contribute with money , and those who have strength contribute with strength .
when the time comes , everyone goes to the village town hall to watch the golden egg being laid in the bird 's nest !
( dubbing outside the picture , weakening : golden egg or silver egg ? dear viewers , dear viewers , this is brother yong , the host of the village tv station .. )

strapless slippers
it is trendy to be topless for everything nowadays , especially in summer ; everyone can't wait to just run naked , because any kind of clothing would make people feel even hotter .
you may have known before that the t-back which has been trendy for years has already been beaten by g-string , because the latter is completely strapless .
therefore in such an era , the slippers that you are wearing may possibly be outdated already , because a new type of strapless slipper has now emerged . it has only a shoe sole .
how do you wear without straps ?
we are not supernatural beings , and the manufacturers have no magic .
such slippers directly .. stick to the soles of the feet : this is not a joking product , but a real product , and its selling price is us$ 13.5 per pair .
this is another one of those " i ever thought that it existed , but never thought that it really does exist " products , rendering people speechless .
manufacturers feel that such slippers are very cool , don't believe ?
please see : just looking at it already makes the soles of my feet feel extremely uncomfortable [ via f.c ]

us treasury secretary arrives in china to visit , environmental protection and exchange rate as key concerns
u.s. treasury secretary paulson arrived in china yesterday for a visit . the united states is exerting all efforts in convincing china to further implement necessary economic reforms and environmental protection work , particularly the renminbi exchange rate topic that had attracted wide attention .
u.s. diplomat stated that paulson visited xining city , the capital of major chinese northwestern province qinghai , earlier .
china is currently implementing a series of environmental protection plans near the largest salt-water lake in qinghai province .
paulson traveled to beijing today to discuss with chief chinese officials on topics including the acceleration of the process of the ' us-china strategic economic dialogue ' initiated last year .
the us-china strategic economic dialogue mainly discusses economic and environmental protection issues with renminbi exchange rate being the most important one . u.s. congressmen argued that the value of renminbi is underestimated .
the us-china trade deficit is soaring . pressure inside the united states is increasing . congressmen are preparing to adopt retaliatory measures to counter their so-called " unfair china trade policy " .
last week , the u.s. senate finance committee overwhelmingly adopted a bill requiring the treasury department to identify list of nations with " fundamentally misaligned " currency exchange rate , thus opening a potential door to economic sanctions against beijing .
u.s. congressmen said that an undervalued renminbi makes goods exported from china to the united states very inexpensive , thus intensifying the us-china trade deficit . the us-china trade deficit had reached us $ 232.5 billion last year .

the report stated that many insurance institutions shared the same view .
expert stated that since a renminbi derivative market still does not exist at the present moment , insurance institutions do not have adequate measures to avert risk . therefore , conditions are not yet ripe for large-scale foreign exchange purchase .
liu lefei said that in the long run , in the area of asset allocation , offshore investments should make up a considerable portion in the overall allocation of insurance companies .
however , since the renminbi has rather huge appreciation pressure at present , china life insurance will mainly utilize exchange funds that it has in offshore investments .
caution should be given to the purchase of foreign exchange for offshore investments under current situation .

bian secretly criticizes judicial invention in election , taiwan 's " judicial yuan " denies , demands explanation
chinanews.com , july 31 - chen shui-bian on the 30th raised doubts about attempts of judicial members in the island to intervene in the election of taiwan regional leaders .
kao chin-chih , " director-general of the department of judicial administration " in taiwan , stated on the same day that judges in the island are behaving differently from what chen shui-bian described and demanded an explanation from chen shui-bian for his remark .
according to report of the united daily news of taiwan , chen shui-bian raised doubts about judges , prosecutors , and investigators intervened , influenced , and even attempted to control the election campaigns of various party candidates out of political factors or consideration for the elections . he claimed that he hoped this situation does not exist in taiwan but it may be extremely difficult .
in response to the doubt of chen shui-bian , weng yueh-sheng , " president of the judicial yuan " in taiwan maintained a low-key and did not respond while " secretary-general " fan kuang-chun appointed kao chin-chih to speak for the judicial yuan .
kao chin-chih stated that the fundamental law of taiwan and the " judges ' rules and regulations " both proclaim in explicit terms that judges should transcend political parties and groups . they cannot participate in activities of political parties or assist in the campaign . judges all follow relevant restraints cautiously . the judicial yuan believed that all judges have done well .
kao chin-chih quoted an example by saying that chang sheng-hsi , judge of the " kaohsiung branch of the supreme court " , took part in the course offered by the ketagalan institute a few years ago . since the related course had party flavor , the self-disciplinary committee formed by judges decided to take disciplinary action against him .
chang sheng-hsi once wanted to run in the primary election of the democratic progressive party but due to the controversy over running in the election while in office , he finally decided to give up .
kao chin-chih argued that if it is for the trial of individual case , one can lodge an appeal to the court of higher instance . one cannot infer that judges have other political intentions solely based on the outcome of the verdict .
germany plans to lower threshold for attracting talents
this newspaper , berlin , july 1 , ( reporter wang huaicheng )
schavan , german minister of education and research , said a few days ago that germany should lower the restrictions on the importation of foreign professionals in the immigration law to resolve the shortage of professionals in germany through an increase in the importation of foreign talents .
according to the report of the organization for economic cooperation and development , the size of labor force between the age of 15 and 64 in germany will drop every year till 2010 .
if there are insufficient immigrants , germany 's labor force in 2020 will be 6 percent smaller than it is now .
however , reports of organizations including the confederation of german employers ' associations and the association of german engineers showed that in current german labor market , the shortages in engineers and skilled technicalprofessionals are bigger .
according to data from the german federal labor office , as of this may , there was a shortage of approximately 12,700 people in the supply of engineers and a shortage of 9,600 people in the supply of technicians in the german labor market .
in order to protect the employment of its nationals , germany has set a rather high threshold for the importation of foreign talents .
the german immigration law stipulates that the annual salaries of professionals from non-eu countries must not be lower than 85,500 euros , otherwise they will not be able to obtain a work and residence permit in germany .
schavan suggested lower this limit to 40,000 to 60,000 euros .
don't have blind faith in legal " theoretical circle "
article 8 of the draft amendment of the law on lawyers recently submitted to the standing committee of the national people 's congress for deliberation stipulates : people who have professional experiences in the research or teaching of law , with advanced professional titles or corresponding professional competence , may obtain a lawyer 's license , and get approval from judicial departments under the state council .
( june 28 , china youth daily )
there is a difference between the " theoretical circle " and the " practical circle " in law . the former mainly includes " abstract behaviors " such as the teaching and research of law while the latter are more " concrete behaviors " such as engaging in litigations , legal consultations , and legal services .
the phenomenon of " scorning of each other " has long existed between the theoretical circle and the practical circle in law . the theoretical circle argues that the practical circle lacks necessary legal attainments and is simply mechanical " legalist " while the direction of criticism of the practical circle on the theoretical circle is that " theories cannot guide practice " .
in regards to such a divergence of division of labor , what law can do is to remain neutral instead of supporting any one side with mightiness .
however , the " chartered lawyer system " in the law on lawyers has objectively endorsed the judgment that the theoretical circle is superior to the practical circle in law .
in fact , for some experts and scholars who engage in pure research and teaching of legal theories such as the history of legal system and international laws , no matter how thoroughly accomplished they are in theories , they will still be out of step with practical legal issues .
in this case , chartered lawyer system has no doubt set a " bad precedent " with extremely harmful effects on the qualification confusion in the practical circle in law .
the blind faith in the theoretical circle is not only limited to these . for instance , expert submissions and expert appraisal meetings always influence and even veto court verdicts . this phenomenon is also a direct manifestation of such blind faith .

don't let peddlers annoy people in public places
travel is to seek relaxation , relief , comfort , and to enjoy natural scenery and results of social civilization to the fullest .
however , when traveling in china , many people encounter such an annoyance of being encircled , pursued , obstructed , and intercepted by peddlers and people engage in intermediary businesses in public places .
when people getting on or off the vehicle , no matter car or train , they are always pestered by peddlers and some unlicensed middlemen .
if they are not selling eggs , peanuts , and sesame seed cakes , then they are selling newspapers and magazines , and then the many unlicensed middlemen recommending restaurants and hotels , and even selling fake documents and fake invoices so on and so forth .
if you turn him down , he can follow you for a few hundred meters and act very much like to win or die .
many visitors also feel the same in some scenic spots .
people come to peddle things such as travel souvenirs and small handicrafts and things like that before one enters the door .
the situation increases once one enters the door . no matter how bright one 's mood is , it will still be spoiled and one will feel insipid .
the media once reported that many foreign visitors to xi'an spoke very highly of the scenic spots and historical sites of xi'an . however , they could not understand why heaps of peddlers were allowed to peddle everywhere .
public places such as stations and scenic spots are originally places where journey embarks or for leisure . good manners and order , as well as peace and harmony should be stressed to provide visitors with a comfortable and relaxing environment .
not only does the come and go at will of the peddlers disturb visitors ' mood , objectively , they have disrupted the public order of these public places and caused visual and environmental pollution , and at the same time , it also provides conditions and opportunities to lawbreakers to incite trouble .
the important thing is that these public places are the windows of local spiritual civilization . seen one and you have seen them all . what is being damaged is not only the issue of image , it also affects the economic development of the area .
imagine , you want to make tourist industry a success but greet guests from all over with this dreadfully disordered tourist environment . who still wants to come ? who still dares to come ?
how can your tourist economy produce returns ?
with the arrival of peak travel season , top priority should be given to the creation of a civilized travel environment for visitors from all over .
public places are not markets . the operating behaviors of peddlers should be regulated . unlicensed operation should be adamantly abolished and illegal activities should be firmly suppressed .
only a civilized and orderly environment will enable visitors to come gladly , to return after fully enjoying themselves , and to revisit with excitement .
in a few words , do not let peddlers annoy people in public places .
" reward for voluntary surrender of low-income subsidy " fails to stand close scrutiny
the jianguomen neighborhood office in dongcheng district , beijing handed out items such as refrigerators as rewards for 12 low-income subsidy recipient families that voluntarily surrendered their low-income subsidies .
( the beijing news , july 10 )
the author is happy about the improvements in life of these families . however , i have mixed feelings about the wording of " voluntary surrender of low-income subsidy " and the practice of " giving out rewards " .
vice-chairman of jianguomen neighborhood office said , " in order to address problems including defrauding low-income subsidy and so on , encouraging voluntary surrender of low-income subsidy is to set an example for other low-income subsidy recipient households . "
if this example encourages other low-income subsidy recipients to turn the corner through efforts of their own , then it is indeed worth promoting . however , if one wants to use this to " inspire " people who have been defrauding low-income subsidy for a long time , then it is somewhat naive .
the work to differentiate and straighten up real and false low-income subsidy recipient households should rely more on the law .
relevant departments should strengthen responsibilities that low-income subsidy recipient households need to fulfill when enjoying low-income subsidy : for example , inform changes in number of family members and income in a timely manner , report employment situation , and subjected to regular review . meanwhile , relevant departments should step up efforts in supervision and inspection .
after all , only the " surrender of low-income subsidy according to the law " is the long-term plan .
who pays for the material rewards given to families that surrender their low-income subsidies by the neighborhood office ?
as a level-one government agency , the expenses of the neighborhood office are shouldered by financial appropriation .
then , should this sum of taxpayers ' money be spent ?
on the one hand , families that surrender their low-income subsidies have proven that they have certain abilities to be ' self-sufficient " . on the other hand , aren't there still people who apply for low-income subsidy ?
government appropriation that is labeled as life-saving money should render timely help instead of making what is good still better .
liu gangyi 's ' i am willing to serve others ' remark more credible
on july 10 , liu gangyi , the first secretary of the township party committee publicly nominated and directly elected in the country and the secretary of the party committee of mulan town in xindu district , chengdu city was subjected to democratic evaluation for the fourth time since he took office . he had an approval rating of 97 percent .
in the conversation between liu gangyi and the reporter , liu gangyi defined himself as " one who serves others " .
( yesterday , the beijing news )
the " one who serves others " that liu gangyi referred to is perhaps more truthful and convincing than " the one who serves others " referred to by some appointed cadres .
the biggest advantage of public nomination and direct election over appointment system is that it is mainly ordinary party members and the people who determine the origin of the power of the former while the latter is mainly appointed by higher-level organizations , whereas the direction from which power originates has established that the former must give accountability to the people top priority .
the origin of power and to whom one is responsibleare fundamental factors in deciding how an electee conducts his work .
some people challenge that such a " democratic evaluation " is more like a " democracy show " .
my opinion is that having such form of democratic evaluation is better than not having any .
given considerations to the history and current situation of the building of democratic politics at the grassroots level in china , i believe that direct public election is already a major breakthrough . democratic evaluation is an important component of this unprecedented undertaking . it should not be underestimated in the advancement of building democratic politics at the grassroots level .
india expects to elect first woman president , analysts say possibility of winning election is high , woman voters hope for higher status of women
on june 23 , patil put her palms together before filling out the presidential candidate documents .
the presidential election in india has begun on the 19th . the new president will emerge between the incumbent vice president shekawat and pratibha patil , the governor of rajasthan who resigned not long ago .
patil is the first female presidential candidate in india 's history . if she is elected , she will become india 's first woman president ever .
patil is the presidential candidate of the ruling congress party while shekawat is from the opposition bharatiya janata party .
since the congress party has the upper hand in the presidential election , the media and the people all suspect that patil has a relative high possibility of being elected .
patil , 72 , was the woman governor of rajasthan .
she was a lawyer and joined the congress in 1985 . she is seasoned in politics . during her term as the governor of rajasthan , she had received high opinions from the government .
she also devotes herself to social welfare and is the honorary chairman of many cultural , educational , and social welfare organizations .
analysts pointed out that the reason patil became the candidate was that she has pledged her allegiance steadfastly to sonia gandhi , the chairman of the congress party .
in india , the gandhi family has been controlling the ruling national party for a long time .
patil has the support of many woman voters , who believe that patil will rebuild the image of women and raise their status in india where the conception of discrimination against women is serious .
the constitution stipulates that india is a federal state . the president is the ceremonial head of the state and the chief commander of the armed forces . he/she does not represent any party or organization and is more of a symbol .

climate change causes rapid decline in alpine glaciers
this newspaper , geneva , july 29 ( reporter liu jun )
glacier experts at the swiss academy of sciences found in a longitudinal study that the more than 1,800 glaciers in switzerland are declining at an average annual rate of 3 percent between 1850 to 2005 .
the heat wave in 2003 alone had caused 1.8 percent of alpine glaciers to melt .
experts believed that if global temperature rose by 3 degree celsius by 2100 , the glaciers would be 80 percent less than today . if global temperature rose by 5 degree celsius , then the glaciers would be completely melted .
the aletsch glacier is the longest glacier in europe . it has been inscribed by unesco into the world heritage list . however , it had reduced by 100 meters in just one year between 2005 and 2006 . the protection of natural environment has reached a point that demands immediate attention .
the picture shows the 23km-long aletsch glacier .

an official of the u.s. department of defense said on the 23rd that due to the war on iraq and changes in global situation , the u.s. department of defense is reconsidering its plan to cut approximately half of the u.s. troops in europe formulated in 2002 .
u.s. media quoted a department of defense official as saying that since the war on iraq is still going on and the us-russia and us-iran relationships are deteriorating , the leadership at the department of defense raised doubts about the feasibility of the plan to cut the troops in europe .
in 2002 , the then secretary of defense rumsfeld announced that the united states would reduce the original 113,000 troops in europe to 71,000 by 2012 in order to build a new " small and elite " army .
the number of u.s. troops in europe is currently reduced to 100,000 .
however , craddock , commander-in-chief of u.s. european command , submitted a report to the current secretary of defense gates in june questioning the above reduction plan .
the report said that while the u.s. troops in europe are being reduced , many troops are be rotated into iraq and afghanistan to fight , thus causing a shortage in u.s. troops in europe . as a result , they cannot cooperate normally with their european allies .
the report suggested a halt to the plan to cut u.s. troops in europe .
relevant experts in the united states argued that the above phenomenon shows that the prolonged war on iraq has disrupted the original adjustment plan of the u.s. army .

three functions of modern army uniforms
the first is its identification function .
an important mark to differentiate between armies of different countries , between different services and arms , and between the army and the civilians .
even though army uniforms have basically the same use among armies of over 100 large and small countries in the world , no army uniforms of any two countries ' armies are identical .
the second is its symbolic function .
to a certain extent , army uniform is a reflection of the spirit and distinctive feature of a nation . it also fully reflects the fighting ability and the soldiers ' quality of a country 's army .
in the three major types of army uniforms - dress uniform , service uniform , and combat and training uniform - there is nothing like the crisp and beautiful dress uniform that can fully display the might of the country and the army .
the third is its protective function .
with the rapid development in new and high-tech weapons and equipment , to enhance the comprehensive protective ability of new and high-tech combat and training uniforms so as to provide army uniforms with various functions including bulletproof , counter-reconnaissance , chemical-proof , germs-proof , radiation-proof , as well as temperature , dampness , and air adjustments has become the priority in the development of army uniforms .

people 's armed forces department of jingjiang city builds platform to elevate qualities of people 's armed forces cadres
this newspaper , reported by staff reporters cao jiawei , zhu chunbin : on june 18 , in the training class for cadres of the department of people 's armed forces in jingjiang city , jiangsu province , the tutorial to win the psychological battle under information conditions taught by lu yuqing , chief of the xilai county department of people 's armed forces , was well received by all students taking part in the training .
this was the new change brought about by the concentrated effort of the city 's department of people 's armed forces to elevate the comprehensive qualities of the cadres of the department of people 's armed forces through charging them with heavy tasks in accordance with reality of their positions .
in the beginning of the year , during grassroots research , the party committee of the department of people 's armed forces found that some cadres of the people 's armed forces had long term of service and held too many concurrent duties , thus failed to focus their energy on doing armed forces work .
to this end , they adopted measures including centralized training , coaching seminars , and reliance on training offered by local party schools to provide regular training to cadres of the department of people 's armed forces and concentrated efforts on resolving issues including the narrow range of knowledge and one-dimensional professional qualifications of the cadres of the department of people 's armed forces .
they integrated central tasks and boldly assigned duties to cadres of the department of people 's armed forces , charged them with heavy tasks , and elevated their work abilities through on-the-job training .
at the same time , they actively coordinated with local organizations and departments and jointly formulated the program for cadres of the department of people 's armed forces to compete for job positions that clearly stipulated that chiefs of the department of armed forces must join the team of party committee at the same level and not to hold other concurrent duties ;
they established the adjustment and exchange mechanism for cadres of the department of people 's armed forces . for cadres of the department of people 's armed forces who are relatively old and cannot adapt to grassroots armed forces work , they made adjustments and exchanges immediately . for compatriots who had good comprehensive qualities and strong work abilities , they promoted and employed them .
not long ago , chen yisong , secretary of the new century shipbuilding co. , ltd. department of people 's armed forces , led the technical detachment of the militiamen in the innovative development of underwater ship welding technology that filled the gap in the country . he was promoted to the chief of the company 's department of people 's armed forces as an exception .
good start still needs to see things through
the 2-2 score was reasonable and was acceptable to the chinese team if judging from the result of the game alone . the key was that the process of the game was somewhat regrettable .
if the iranian team led by 2-0 , then the chinese team tied the score , that would definitely make chinese fans feel very differently . it would bolster a lot of morale . unfortunately , the situation was precisely the opposite .
fails to see things through can be considered as an old problem of the chinese team .
the chinese team never knows how to play under excellent situation . the general opinion is that mentally chinese players are not tough enough .
this is indeed a reason that the chinese team fails to " see things through " .
however , judging from the game that the chinese team played today , it seems that it is not necessarily so .
not only had sun jihai , sun xiang , shao jiayi , and zheng zhi played in europe before , li weifeng and the others are also battle-hardened veterans . they are experienced and knowledgeable . theoretically , there should not be any problem with their mental qualities .
this time , the chinese team was regrettably pressed to tie with the iranian team . the reason was probably the ineffectiveness in moving players on the field .
the iranian team substituted two people while they were trailing behind and the situation was immediately improved .
the chinese team also substituted three players in the second half but the outcome was not good .
in order to overcome the problem of not seeing things through , one must find the root of the problem .
as long as one identifies the problem , means to resolve it is probably not hard to find .
the only worrisome thing is to try to find a cure indiscriminately for an emergency .
if the situation continues like this , no matter how many more games the chinese team plays , it will still commit the same mistake . the continuous progress that people expect as it plays more games will be out of the question .

the details of the cooperation zones are , break away from the restrictions of authorized force of the units , and designate a unit at the brigade or regiment level in a sub-area where small , scattered , remote , and independent units are relatively concentrated to take the lead to conduct standardized planning of thematic education . units under different affiliations will attend classes together nearby or to hold long-distance discussions by means of video system .
they adopt the practice of integrating teaching rotation and competing for job positions to conduct consolidated allocation of education force . education hardware in the sub-area is put under centralized use . information and data of all units , as well as education experiences are shared and exchanged . report tours by model sub-areas and sharing of educational experiences among officers and men are regularly organized .
each cooperation unit has set up full-time education contacts and part-time education information gatherers .
on this foundation , all cooperation zones have also established systems for seeking help in difficult questions , discussions on major educational topics , notification of emergency ideological situations , and examination and assessment .
zhang shengmin , chief of the political department at the base , told reporters that the establishment of political education cooperation zones both reduces waste in educational resources and deepens educational effects .
some political instructors worry that they will lose points in front of officers and men from outside units , so they take the initiative to learn new knowledge and explore new educational methods .
officers and men being taught also actively digest educational contents in fear that they will sound unprofessional in front of officers and men from neighboring units during discussion , differentiation , and analysis .
in this case , the enthusiasm of both the educators and the ones who receive the education is effectively stimulated .

xinhua news agency , maracaibo ( venezuela ) , july 3 ( reporter liu jian )
according to report of venezuelan media on the 3rd , during an interview here , the 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper of the u.s. team keller stated that if he cannot find a suitable club to play for after the copa america , then he will choose to retire .
" if four or six weeks after the copa america ends i still can't strike a deal with a top level football team that would allow me to play another season or two then retirement may be a good choice . "
with moenchengladbach relegated to germany 's second division , keller also left the team that he had played for for more than two seasons .
even though keller intends to retire , he , who is " yet to be married off " , apparently is not worried about the next employer . he said frankly himself that currently , as many as eight clubs intend to invite him to join them .
however , the veteran goalkeeper , who had played in the spain 's first division league , the english premier league , and the germany 's first division league , stated that his final decision rests on his family , " my child is nine years old already and he followed me to three different countries and studied in three different schools . my choice now must seek what 's the best for my family . "
in the gold cup final that just ended recently , keller had a stellar performance and helped the u.s. team won the championship .
in the copa america this year , he was still entrusted with important task by head coach bradley . however , one man alone cannot win . the u.s. team , which went to battle with " young guards " , was simply no match for strong south american teams such as argentina and paraguay . the goal that he kept was penetrated seven times in two games .
the next game against the colombian team will very probably be the last performance of the u.s. team and keller in this year 's copa america .

xinhua news agency , beijing , july 28 ( reporter cui junqiang)- when the olympics is held next year , the hot and humid august in beijing is expected to become an ocean of fresh flowers .

in the project acceptance meeting of the applied research in the selection and cultivation of new species of summer olympics flowers held in beijing on the 28th , judging experts concluded that by adopting the forcing and retarding new culture technique , varieties or species of flowers with different natural flowering season can bloom in the summer at the same time and will achieve the best visual effects in august when the beijing olympics is held .

am worried ccfd " uproot corruption deadline " campaign to no avail
[ old zan skeptic ] " send text messages " and " table view " submitted on 2007-07-02 at 14:41:10
on may 30 , the central commission for discipline set a time limit on june 30 , that is , one month from now , for corrupt elements all over the country to voluntarily admit their dishonorable ways before being arrested .
upon hearing of this , we humble people at the grassroots cannot help laughing out loud . to catch thieves , the police issue an ultimatum asking thieves to voluntarily confess to their crimes before a deadline one month away . or else they'll be arrested . can you find any anti-corruption campaign of the same pattern ?
isn't that tantamount to a clear , public announcement telling corrupt officials in advance to flee at once and to doctor the criminal evidences to avoid punishment ?
what is the intention ?
isn't that .. .. sigh , what can i say !
or , if we assume the campaign may be productive , what effect can it achieve ?
can it instill fear into the corrupt officials and deter them ?
we do not rule out the possibility that some timid ones might come out and voluntarily confess . but wouldn't many many more just run away ?
let 's not ask whether the deadline set by the central commission for discipline will produce clear effect . just watch for the possible side effect in a different direction that this campaign would likely produce .
that is : the corrupt officials ' gratitude toward the central commission for discipline . corrupted officials fully understand the situation and secretly feel the joy of going scotch free from any punishment .
one month would be more than enough for them to transfer and squirrel away their loot .
if i were a corrupt official , absolutely , i would also see things that way . definitely , neither would i go to your place and voluntarily report everything .
corrupt officials , after reveling in joy and gratitude , will behave themselves this way . ha , ha. very gratefully !
common folks are all confused . what happened to the anti-corruption campaign ? why can't we push forward with all the powers of hurricane and thunder ? why is it so difficult to strike out resolutely ?
what results can we expect from an anti-corruption campaign like this ?
honorable members of the central commission for discipline , all in all , i am wary and worried over the effect your " anti-corruption deadline " will produce .
no private land ownership is minimum acceptable to my calm , rational self
[ zen buddhist teacher duchi ] [ send text messages ] and [ table view ] posted at 10:34:39 on july 2 , 2007 .
not to privatize land ownership is the last line of defense i could accept with calm and ease .
i think i am not easily angered . at least i myself feel this way .
i have always been calm and rational when speaking on forums , i seldom lose my composure and make irrational remarks .
also i have kept my profound faith in , and fervent expectations of the party 's central committee . i accept decisions the party central makes to push through reformation policies and measures , no matter how wide is the difference between them and my beliefs , and i consider them as one of the " characteristics " .
but , once land ownership begins to be privatized ( or be privatized in substance , if not in name ) , all the above will not hold true any more because their raison d'etre will no longer be valid .
rather suffer the loss of a thousand troops than lose one inch of national territory . land is the country 's greatest and most precious social resource .
the working masses and the land are the fundamental elements of a country .
as long as the nature of its land resources remain unchanged , a country will not easily change her own basic nature and attributes . once the land resources changed its basic nature , the change alters everything that is fundamental .
i am not a communist party member , but i clearly remember the following pledge i have sworn to : " love the motherland , love the people , study diligently , improve and strengthen myself , and be ever ready to offer my strength to serve the course of communism ! "
" study diligently , work hard , suffer the hardships at first and enjoy the fruits later . strive for the course of communism ! "
those who , like me , have made this pledge and sung loudly these words " we belong to the next shift in socialism , " should remember what they have sworn to , if they are not wretchedly shameless .
if you have already gone back completely on your pledge , please stand up in all honesty and move yourself away from " communism . " don't hang on to this plaque for the purpose of hoodwinking the masses on the one hand , and on he other hand , trying hard to figure out a way of selling the plaque off at a good price .
of course , i wish that all such concerns and worries were unnecessary , and i can keep my composure and rational behavior .
do remember that " we belong to the next shift in socialism . "
what would happen when there is no more next shift ?
one generation , feeling of two ages
not long ago , someone brought up this question : of 30-year-olds , are there some pro-mao zedong people ?
later , it was changed to 20 .
the fact is : people of these age groups did not live through the mao zedong era . those who asked this question either have poured water into their brains , or are afflicted with inherent dementia .
in the city , the most qualified spokespersons of the mao zedong era should be those who lived through these years in person and suffered all the miseries of that era , in other words , people born between 1950 and 1960 .
after they were born , their parents plunged into political movements , thus failing to provide the children love and care corresponding to their needs .
just when they needed proper nutrition , natural disasters arose and lasted for three years . the children suffered much of the pains of hunger .
when starting school , they met head on with the cultural revolution that wiped out opportunities of schooling for many years .
for some , it even cut short their schooling for life . at 15 to 17 , their schooling still had a long way to go . but they had to abandon their study in order to answer the call of the party to " climb the mountains , go to the countryside and support the constructions on the frontier . "
after starting their work , they were proud to become members of the worker class and volunteered for the heaviest and most exhausting jobs .
glory for that moment , but misery for the whole life .
when it was time for them to get married , late marriage , late child-bearing and the one-family-one-baby policy also started from them .
when their pay was due to be raised , businesses started to put more value on school diplomas . and their chance for a raise was crushed because they had no diploma .
after they worked hard to bring up the offspring , paid for its basic education and saw the child passing a university entrance examination , there was the reforms of the education system and the state-owned enterprises , college tuition went up and they lost their jobs .
as they got old day after day , illness and disease began to take a toll on their health . unfortunately , this also coincided with the change and reform in the nation 's healthcare system . this means : illness could not be treated since they could not afford to pay the medical and hospital bills .
it is obvious that a total lack of social justice ruthlessly descended on this generation .
but among people of this generation , not so many have joined the camp opposing maoism or attacking mao zedong .
why ?
they are not mao 's slaves , but men of flesh and blood who constitute the real and living groups of humanity in our society . through their life of climbing the mountains and going to the countryside down to the loss of their jobs , these people lived and experienced in person our history and that is the social phenomenon of two historical eras .
in spite of the school closing , the deplorable shortage of food and clothing and numerous other ills of the society in the mao zedong age , which aroused their grumbling and even hatred , they still consider the mao zedong years as good and as a time of high nationalism , superior ethical and moral life and of unsurpassed social environment and traditions .
parents of some of our friends on the internet belong to this age group . you might do well to have a chat with them .

" injection for watermelons , " " cancerous bananas , " and " cardboard-filled buns "
[ barren plain beyond northern borders ] [ send text messages ] and [ table view ] posted at 22:02:57 on july 19 , 2007 . i remember a news item of the year before last reporting that chemicals were injected into hainan watermelons , resulting in the melons rotting on a massive scale in the fields and enormous losses to the melon growers .
later , cctv followed up with reports that thorough investigation proved there was absolutely no such a thing .
that report sounded strange in the first place . for injecting something into big watermelons one after another lacks any practical and meaningful justification . and , considering the amount of work , it would prove an impossible task .
memories of things happening last year are much clearer . media reports said banana plants in hainan were infested with a disease similar to cancer that afflicts people . such diseased banana plants could hardly survive .
consequently , many people were misled to conclude that consuming bananas leads to cancer . the end result is the same : banana price collapsed ; and , lamenting out loud , banana farmers cried and cried even after all tears were exhausted .
the reason that the two above reports were so sensational lies in the fact that they directly touched people 's most sensitive nerve cords , namely , the issue of food safety .
if public media reported that certain foods are detrimental to health , the report is bound to spread far and wide from one person to ten and from ten to one hundred . as to the truth and substance of the report , people generally would rather take them seriously as credible than brush them aside as not trust-worthy . to one individual consumer , skipping a few hainan watermelons and/or bananas from his diet is , after all , only a bagatelle . but to the grower and wholesaler of the produce , it is immeasurably important .
not long ago , a case of unsafe food exploded on the beijing media scene . as pork price increased steeply , some people used treated cardboard paper as filling to make steamed buns for sale . this was the so-called " buns of cardboard filling . "
i was roundly shocked upon hearing this report . i felt that these small hawkers are too good at their r&d work that they devised such a method to cheat the consumers . furthermore , i spread the news far and wide and warned my families and friends not to buy steamed buns when they go on the street .
but yesterday , again reports suddenly sprang up to say that the story of " buns of cardboard filling " was a fake . and the whole thing was fabricated by one person . thereupon i felt relieved and at ease . but , at the same time , i also began to wonder : what exactly is ailing our media today ?
the true story i got from reliable sources runs like this : mr. zi , a temporary staff member on " transparency , " a program on the lifestyle channel of the beijing television station , purchased ground meat filling , wheat flour and paper cartons on the market and arranged for some people , one of them named wei , to use the meat and the cardboard paper , after pulping the latter in water , to make steamed buns .
zi stage-managed and filmed the bun-making process with digital video equipment he himself brought along , edited the film and got it on the tv program by hook or by crook .
now public security authorities have detained suspect zi , and will deal with him in a stern manner in accordance with the law .
after the cardboard bun story broke into the open , concerned and responsible offices and departments were immediately and rapidly organized by the government to look into the matter . a thoroughgoing and all-embracing inspection in the breakfast foods market in beijing was conducted in order to ensure the safety on the dining tables of the common folks .
after the truth behind the incident was firmly established , the beijing television station learned a deeply ingrained lesson and tendered open apologies to the public at large . it also sternly investigated and dealt with the responsible people and will further improve management and control in order to stop up loopholes and block false , distorted and fabricated news reporting .
only , although the cardboard buns are proven to be non-existent , when public confidence will be restored so that people would again go to street stalls to buy steamed buns without fear remains a question mark .
the whole thing also shows , incidentally , that the government has assigned top priority and taken immediate and rapid action to solve problems related to food safety issues . it also demonstrated with considerable clarity that the dining tables in beijing homes are still relatively safe . while the cardboard buns scare turned out to be a false alarm , it also could be considered a reminder and admonition to the public at large .
to whom should education be responsible ?
recently , i heard friends in china talk about what they sew at a school . i cannot help speaking out about some of my concerns .
the incident occurred in a private high school in the city of shanghai , the southwest weiyu middle school .
the school decided to assign its best teachers to three classes comprising students who signed a contract to move up inside southwest weiyu from middle school to high school . to other classes whose students consist of those transferred to weiyu from outside and/or those who signed no contract to move up inside weiyu , several young teachers whose pedagogic track record was not good and who had no experience teaching the third high school grade .
the reason is : those students who signed the agreement agreed to give up chances to take entrance examinations to other high schools , so best teachers should be given according to the assurances agreed and promised .
as to the students in several other classes , the school expressed this attitude : young teachers should be given opportunities to improve themselves through practice .
i just cannot help lamenting , to whom is education responsible ?
i remember that many years ago , when i attended a key high school , our whole class , dissatisfied with the pedagogic performance of a math teacher , boldly , perhaps even recklessly , signed a joint petition , asking that the teacher be replaced .
afterwards , school authorities did replace the teacher . for the school promised that all individual students are considered equal and the school is responsible to every one of them .
ten years ago , i came to the united states to pursue post-graduate studies .
one year , in the summer , we were choosing what courses to take in the fall . i found that our department offered , in electives , all theoretical courses , but not one application-oriented practical course .
i went to talk to the department chair , telling him that there is a problem with the curriculum .
the department chair admitted that the lack of application-oriented courses was due to insufficient faculty strength . after a couple of years when there is available faculty , such courses may become available .
i remember telling him then : " this is your problem , not mine . "
from shanghai , i traveled thousands of miles to come to study in your esteemed school , precisely because i was attracted by your brochure introducing me to the courses you offered .
if you were unable to offer these courses , then , refrain from putting them on the brochure . otherwise , it would be false advertisement , not accountable to me and to my family .
having heard my opinion , the department chair thought for a while and said : " ok , let me see what we can do to solve the problem . "
maybe it was too late , because all courses were already offered for online registration .
after three weeks , the department chair called me in for a talk , telling me mainly that his job was to assume responsibility to all and every student , including me .
he accepted my suggestion and did his best , that was to add two strongly application-oriented practical courses . he hoped that i could understand .
after this happened , i took several courses taught by the department chair .
he never harbored any prejudice against me for the views i expressed . in every course i took , he very impartially gave me an a.
before my graduation , i heard his secretary 's remarks on how he did his very best for all his students , but not every one of them were grateful .
at the commencement ceremony , when speaking as the valedictorian , i told the department chair that every one thanks him from the bottom of our hearts for all he did to help us . for he did his best to assume responsibility to every one of us .
i felt that i made a correct choice of my life to come here and study .
when uttering these words , i saw tears the department chair tried to hide in his eyes . one day , if every chinese educator and the whole education system dedicate themselves to be responsible to every student , i think , the real take-off point of the nation will not be too far ahead .
central ny men 's 4s volleyball tournament
last sunday , i took part in the men 's 4s volleyball tournament in the central new york state . spending six and a half hours playing the matches , our team finally won the championship .
this tournament , in fact , was organized as a training session to prepare for the volleyball tournament of the empire state games .
the coach broke up four men 's teams ( high school and college teams plus teams of 35-year-old-and-over as well as 45-year-old-and-over players ) from the central regions of new york , then reorganized the players into teams of four members each . every team was assigned one middle blocker/setter to proceed with the matches .
the rules of the tournament were quite interesting . only players in the rear row were permitted to go on the offensive and the ball must not drop into the 3-meter zone . only one player , the middle blocker , was allowed to go to the net to block the opponent 's offensive . no position rotation among a team 's players was permitted .
hence , it was basically a test of the power of the offense and the positioning of the defense .
our team had a setter , who was two meters in height . his attack was at once powerful and from a high vantage point . in the whole match , he was responsible for more than 60 % of the offensive action and scoring . we also had one 1.85-meter middle blocker who single-handedly frustrated many enemy offensive actions on the net ,
and a 1.9-meter wing spiker who made many mistakes in his offensive action for he was positioned in the rear .
then there was me , a 1.75-meter ace spiker who often sneaked up for a surprise attack . my scoring ratio was fair . i was mainly responsible for catching crosscourt smashes from the other side .
there were altogether seven teams . they started with a round-robin in which our team won the first match . then , the referee repeatedly called our foul for our setter 's stepping on the line when staging an offensive . our morale was thus greatly depressed , leading to the loss of three matches in a row .
but after the loss , we all regained our poise and our coordination stabilized during these three matches . then , we began to win one match after another .
at the end of the round-robin , our team won three and lost three matches to rank ourselves a sixth .
following that , supplementary matches began . without the top-ranking team , the second to seventh teams competed one against another in a game of elimination .
our team stayed calm and stable psychologically and in tactics . we worked hard to overwhelm our opponents and led the field in qualifying for the semi-finals .
in the semi-final matches , the opponent has a strong offense and weak defense . they afflicted blue and purple bruises on my arms . but , once safely catching a hard spike , i got out of it a kick that was twice as satisfactory as my own successful offensive action .
we were not even aware of the final score when we won the game .
our opponent in the final match had a balanced offense-defense . we won many points by our serve and lead the game all the way .
at the very end , we were comfortably leading with 21 to 24 . then , two powerful serves in a row by the opponent flew wild after i touched them . the score : 23 to 24 . the setter of our team ran over and told me : nothing to be concerned , it's only a couple of points .
then , another ball was flying in my direction . not too bad , i received it safe and sound . then , our middle blocker passed it backward to the setter to bring about a smashing spike and the battle was over .
again on morality
much has been said about morality as it bears on the free and unattached individual .
in this regard , i have nothing more to add .
now , i wish to address myself to the question of morality for the collective entity .
we often see the occasion when collective life and activities are essential .
on such an occasion , a collective body needs to maintain certain moral standards .
we can often find that collective entities which achieved success can boast of their virtues and morality .
that does not come about by chance .
for the causes or activities , one needs to overcome the difficulties confronting it , and its constituencies need to close ranks . i think , high moral strength , besides faith and creed , plays a vital role that cannot be neglected .
at the very least , we can safely predict that a group of people of low moral standards will not succeed in any worthy task .
this might because that , for a collective entity to achieve success , an essential quality is the wisdom that sees long-term interest through rational far-sightedness .
in fact , a collective entity often establishes its identity through a wide variety of ways such as logos , trade jargon , creed , and morality .
only by taking brandy in the morning and in the evening , can we see the ground blanketed by orchid flowers all along the road of life .
[ discussion ] up to now , how many times true happiness occurred ?
a very close high school friend of mine finally obtained a visa . at the end of august she will be able to start her journey to pursue graduate studies in an extremely good college on the west coast of the united states .
today , several school friends had a small get-together . all were so happy to see her dreams come true .
seeing her so happy , i felt really envious .
think of all the years up to the present , i was that happy only when i passed the entrance examination to high school . up to that time , i never dreamed that i could succeed in the examination to enter the top or second ranking school in the entire city . afterwards , between then and now came college and workplace which followed in due course and never gave me the same joy again .
the university i was admitted to was not the one i dreamed of entering . hence , not much pleasure to speak of.
in the college years , all my hopes lie in the possibility of going north after graduation so that i could join my boyfriend , with whom i fell in love for two years then .
but fate plays games with you ! one month before my graduation , he asked that we go our separate ways . all the dreams i cherished up to that moment exploded like a bubble .
afterwards , i returned to the north to take a job . today , i have been on the job for two years and have built up enough savings to buy a medium-priced car . but throughout it all , i have not experienced again the happiness that once did descend on me .
today , when chatting with my good friend , i can understand and feel her happiness . after struggling gallantly and working with a tremulous heart for one year to prepare herself , she finally goes abroad without a hitch to start a period of new life . to experience a dream coming true really makes one happy .
i have no plans to pursue further studies and do not like living in a foreign country . for i had worked for half a year abroad which led me to believe that living abroad does not suit me .
witness the happiness of a good friend cannot help leading me to think : what am i pursuing ?
what will be able to make me experience , once again , the happiness of yore ?
possibly , it is to find someone who truly likes me and wishes to live with me through the second half of our lives .
i think i will then cry out emotionally , just like what my good friend described to me of her uncontrollable burst into tears when she sailed through the embassy interview and received the approval notice . one year of work and worries finally brought the reward .
but , what about me ?
time and again i did my best to manage , with a tremulous heart , my emotional life . when will i be rewarded with the realization of my dreams and cry out once to my heart 's content and delight ?
perhaps i do not have much ambition , for i never , from the beginning to the end , worry about my career . but , what about my emotional life ?
when will i find an emotional home ?
i am very distressed when dealing with this problem .
what about you , my brothers and sisters ?
up to this moment , how many times have you encountered genuine happiness in your life ?
promote architecture college of southeast university
ah , ah , count the following as my briefing for the southeast university alumni on the college of architecture of their university .
i am presenting the most recent first-hand information . authenticity is guaranteed .
dean wang , party secretary an , teacher li of the personnel office and other faculty members of the pedagogic and research section of architectural technology attended the briefing and reporting session . i talked for an hour followed by discussions by all participants for another one and a half hours .
after the formal reporting session ended , teacher zhang ( assistant to the dean ) pulled me aside and asked me to a closed-door talk with him in an office to the rear of the compound .
very friendly and approachable he told me behind closed doors that some things could not be discussed at a formal meeting . he said it was obvious that i did not have any idea on my income here in the future . hence , he told me some concrete cases of earnings and income of faculty members of the college of architecture , to ease my anxiety .
before the formal reporting session , dean wang gave an introduction to the colleges of architecture . he said that only six important architecture disciplines were offered in all institutions throughout the country , namely , two in southeast university , two in tsinghua , one in tongji and one in tianjin university . none is offered anywhere else .
he said in recent years , energy saving of architectures , green architecture and architectural technology have gained special attention in the nation . southeast university wanted to bring in a faculty member specialized in these fields .
he said they received resumes from more than 20 applicants for this job . they were from domestic sources , japan and the united states ( i was the sole applicant from the u.s. , it seems ) .
the college of architecture considered the matter vital and conducted serious investigations on the applicants .
compared to the architecture colleges of other higher educational institutions that i know , southeast university certainly is a front runner . while tongji university may be placed much higher than eastern in city planning , the latter is likely a bit better in architectural design . ( i did not know that then . )
the college of architecture has been designated one of the colleges vital to the national 985 engineering construction plan . in the past two years , it has been very well provided financially , said dean wang .
he told me that southeast university was allocated , at one throw , ten million yuan of development and construction financing last year . of this amount , 3.5 million was to be used directly to replenish the specialist technological library of the college . ( wow , to this , i must sing a song of praise : what generosity ! )
the remainder is nearly all used on installation and equipment of the specialist laboratory that i proposed .
it is said that to this project several academicians expressed variant views .
ha , ha -- while on the subject , i might as well say that i think they paid too much for some imported equipments .
one set of equipment to conduct experiments to measure air-tightness of a room is widely used in the united states where its cost is definitely below 500 us dollars . southeast university finally spent rmb 50,000 to acquire it .
there are yet other situations worth reporting , many departments and colleges of the southeast university have moved to the new campus in jiulonghu . but the college of architecture has made a firm decision to stay put , professing that its student should remain in a superior architectural environment . there are still some architectural classics on the old campus grounds , while the new campus is completely barren of them .
ha ha - it seems that since other departments have moved away , the college of architecture requisitioned an additional building .
hence , dean wang told me right off that an exclusive office could be assigned me later on .
it caused me some embarrassment later for this offer made by dean wang did not arouse any emotional reaction in me when it was received .
afterwards , i was told by teacher zhang , who pulled me aside , that this offer did not come easy . for office space was in real short supply and some senior professors had not been assigned their own yet .
this made me extremely uneasy . it seemed that i had very little idea of the background of the situation in this country .
all in all , this trip to southeast university is very pleasant for me . i am highly and favorably impressed by the dedication , enthusiasm and friendship of the leadership and responsible faculty members of the college of architecture of the university .
i wish southeast university will sail smoothly and rapidly forward on the road of development , and its college of architecture will maintain a good lead ahead of its sister institutions !
river qinhuai among the sound of oars heard , and lights and shadows .
all good things have an end
two weeks ago i had lunch with colleagues to see off our ex-boss .
the boss can be called a woman of extraordinary capabilities . she was very nice to us , her subordinates . we also worked willingly and happily for her even in evening and weekend overtime hours , which is rare in the states . she could very well be the best boss i ever had .
because of her wish to take care of the family , and to have more time to educate her children , she left the company and opened up a mathematics learning center for elementary and junior high school children .
i believe she can succeed in everything that she takes up !
sun yanzi brings love and care to africa , suffers sandstorm , stoning and scratch wound ( pictures )
taking care of sick children
showing " muscles of mice "
after congo , sun yanzi joined the world outlook conference for the second time to travel to niger , africa .
at a press conference yesterday , she admitted frankly that it was the most exhausting trip she had ever undertaken in her life .
the local weather was extremely hot and the drinking water was muddy . when visiting the city market she was met by crowds throwing stones in protest . even when she rode a camel its saddle chair left a scratch wound on her .
dozens of incidents happened along the way , causing her to cry out loud repeatedly in her mind : " how i wish to go back home ! "
she was shocked seeing malnutrition in children .
having joined the " care for the impoverished children " campaign of the world outlook conference three years in a row , sun yanzi calls herself a senior spokesperson of the campaign .
she has brought along 30 bottles of vitamins , 40 flashlights and 500 pieces of candy to share with the local children .
she said , accumulated experiences told her no matter what quantities of small gifts one brings along they will never prove to be enough .
the most serious problem encountered in niger is that the mothers there know absolutely nothing about bringing up their children and the children suffer from serious malnutrition problems .
when on an 8-hour , 500-kilometer journey from the capital city of niger to the small town of tawa , sun yanzi experienced a sandstorm which is rare in that area .
stormy winds carried sand mixed with rain water . the entire sky changed color with the turbulence of the storm .
the jeep she was riding in swung wildly with the winds .
recalling that time , sun yanzi is still trembling with fear left over from that day . though she was inside the car , she still could not help feeling scared .
afterwards , only when she heard indigenous folks say that sandstorms symbolize good fortune , she felt somewhat relieved .
together with local people
lamenting difficulties plaguing local mothers in rearing children
upon her arrival in tawa , local officials staged a welcome ceremony which featured single hump camels . sun yanzi was invited to mount a camel to acknowledge the loud applause and salute of the local welcoming crowds .
but the camel , scared by photographers ' flashes , went out of control . sun yanzi was almost thrown down to the ground .
finally , she herself dismounted . but her dress was caught and torn by the saddle , leaving a bloodied scratch of some 8 centimeters on her back .
on this visit , sun yanzi visited four sick local children who suffered from serious malnutrition . one of them was a baby four months of age weighing only 2.1 kilograms . it did not look like a human baby at all .
sun said : " my heart aches when i saw the baby whose condition was really grotesque . but the mother should be responsible . mothers there should be taught the right ideas and ways of nutrition for their children . "
key to education in china -- humanistic orientation
key terms : key to education in china -- humanistic orientation key to education in china -- humanistic orientation
the purpose of education is : to make the educated capable of existing and of enjoying themselves in the present social environment with greater ease .
" existing " -- this is a concept easily understood by all . as to " enjoyment , " people perhaps understand it to be simply " play and entertainment . " in fact , it is not so . " enjoyment " signifies many categories of concepts and events .
" existing " includes growth and strengthening of physical and mental capabilities .
1 . growth and strengthening of one 's physical capabilities -- through sports , one can enhance physical power , ability of coordination , and constantly improve mobility to satisfy one 's own need of moving about as well as the social need of dealing with the society .
2 . growth and strengthening of one 's mental capabilities -- one can achieve clearer understanding of the society one lives in , as well as knowledge of the self . one learns to master ways of dealing with other people , and acquires the skills of adapting to one 's existence , and of enjoying life .
the above is a discussion of the purpose of education which does not really bear on the theme of this writing . now , let 's talk about the point of emphasis : key to education in china -- humanistic orientation .
human nature means : one should fully understand that each individual differs with the other . none should be viewed and treated in the same way as stereotypes .
[ original article of the club ] : usual stages of learning buffett
original article of the club : usual stages of learning buffett
1) the first stage : first contact with buffett rewards one with the feeling of pocketing a sovereign treasure . immediate application of what one learned follows . however , at this point of time , superficial and half-baked knowledge frequently leads to wrong approaches , incorrect application and blind alleys . good harvest may appear today and disappear tomorrow .
2) the second stage : a " breakthrough " of buffett theory . after a period of intensive study , both in theory and in practice , almost every " wise man " would try to puzzle out a number of questions , such as " what is a buffett of special chinese characteristics ? "
or " do we have to be flexible in applying the buffett theory in china ? "
or " can we do better than buffett can ? "
thus , during this stage of learning , the student is mainly affected by a blind megalomania in a search for a buffett theory with a china bent .
after a period of practice in the real world , success still often proves to be an elusive matter , void of consistency and continuity . if one is lucky , he would do his best to take some losses and reverse his course as early as possible .
3) the third stage : returning to buffett . after turning things upside down a number of times , one finally realizes that one is only an ordinary person instead of a genius .
one should lower expectations of oneself . modestly , one should be satisfied completely with just learning from buffett .
contrary to common belief , the simplest is the most useful and most effective . but simple methods usually are based on extremely profound theories . understanding such profound theories must precede better and full prosecution of the simple methods .
what this stage brings forward is : modest success in the short term , but plenty of long-term rewards and continuity .
4) the fourth stage : " stubborn " buffett . after tasting continuity of successes , one becomes basically a stubborn hard-line believer in buffett theories . one would not honor a company that is not of the buffett mould even with a condescending glance .
one studies buffett theories incessantly to enhance one 's understanding and apply them in practice . one 's performance in this stage would bring ever better results , and usher one into a cycle of positives .
how long each stage lasts would depend on the nature and condition of the individual and his or her luck and fortune .
single-minded worship of buddha ( 236553903 ) 14:18:05
he is my online friend of long standing . he posted the following story in the newsgroup .
i would rather write the story in this column .
i hope you all can read the article , though i do not expect it to become a so-called recommended article . nevertheless , i believe some things and truths can often be better grasped by way of a small but tightly organized story .
this is a story that makes the readers feel as if a chill is running through the heart .
i really wish that it were only a story , for such a real-world event would make one feel very sad and distressed .
on a highway running through mountainous terrain , three gun-wielding bandits , having spotted a pretty woman driver on a medium-sized bus , forced the vehicle to a stop , and invited the driver off the bus for a little stroll . in despair , she called out for help . but all the passengers responded with utter silence .
the only prompt response came from a middle-aged man of flimsy build . he was , however , knocked down to the floor , wounded .
trembling in anger , he tried hard , rose again and shouted for help from all the fellow passengers . however , none responded . that allowed the bandits to drag the woman driver away to the bushes in the forest .
an hour later , the three bandits came back to the bus along with the driver , whose clothing was badly rumbled and torn .
the bus was to be under way again . the woman driver asked the skinny and bleeding man who was beaten up to get off the bus .
he refused and things got into a deadlock .
hey , get off the bus . my bus will not carry you .
the middle-aged man fumed : you are out of your senses . did i do something wrong in trying to help you ?
you ? trying to help me ?
what help have you given ?
the woman driver 's persistent denials caused some of the fellow passengers to giggle , quite inaudibly .
the middle-aged man was furious . he hated himself for not possessing the prowess of a robin hood .
even if i failed to save people out of dangerous straits , do i deserve to be shooed out of the bus ? he firmly refused to evacuate .
besides , i paid the fare and have the right to ride in the bus !
the driver raised her sight , looking skyward , and said without mercy : if you do not get off , i am not going to drive .
quite unexpectedly , the fellow passengers who closed their eyes when witnessing the brutal crime just a while earlier , were now suddenly awakened . they tried as one to persuade the middle-aged man to leave the bus . get off real quick . we still have our business to do , and cannot afford the delay !
several strong passengers even wanted to pull the middle-aged man off the bus . that reminds one of scenes in " boule de suif " by maupassant .
the three bandits grinned smugly .
of the three , a dark-skinned one shamelessly said : we made her reckless !
the other two also were delirious : she is mine , she is none of your business !
a fight and pushing followed until the skinny man 's baggage was thrown out of the window and he himself was shoved out of the vehicle .
the bus was again under way on the highway in the mountains . the female driver pushed back her hair and turned the radio-recorder on .
the bus was approaching the summit . after negotiating a turn , the driver saw the slope downward looming large ahead . on the left was mountain side , to the right was a steep cliff hundreds of meters deep .
quietly and imperceptibly , the vehicle picked up speed . facial expression of the woman driver was perfectly calm . her two hands gripped the steering wheel firmly . gleaming tears were streaming down her cheeks .
one bandit seemed to have sensed something wrong . he said , drive slowly ! slow down ! god damn it ! what are you trying to do ?
the woman driver said nothing . the bus continued to go faster and faster .
the bandit tried to dash forward to grab the steering wheel . but the bus was shooting off the cliff like an arrow released from the bow .
on the next day , local newspapers reported a tragedy that happened yesterday in the mount fuhu area : a medium-sized bus plunged down the high cliffs .
of all 14 persons on board -- the driver and 13 passengers -- none survived the accident .
upon reading the report , the middle-aged man who was forced out of the bus mid-way in the journey , cried out .
nobody knew for what and why was he crying .
darkness in railway station
i have been traveling by train out of town in the recent days and have discovered how " black " the railroad stations in various places are !
i want to find out what precautions one should take in rail stations in various localities .
i'm from changsha , and let me start with a description of the ins and outs of changsha . pay attention if you're going to changsha !
1 . train tickets always in short supply : especially in the long holidays , and on dates associated with the start and end of summer and winter vacations or opening and closure of school semesters , the scarcity is absolute . no matter how early you go to line up at the ticket counter , your efforts and sacrifices would prove to be in vain .
the most water-tight answer i can find is : all tickets have been reserved for and by travel agencies .
but , from the ticket scalpers , you can get as many as you want at a premium .
2 . watch out for forgeries : even the supply by the scalpers is not always the genuine article . in hunan , a man becomes rich by forging official certificates and licenses in shuangfeng , and another fellow by counterfeiting banknotes and coins in xinhua . hence , producing forged tickets is merely child 's play .
forgery by way of cutting and patching up is of the crudest sort . some forged tickets look so authentic and even the train staff cannot identify them !
3 . who touched my banknote : be very careful when shopping at the stores in the rail station .
if you wish to make a payment in small-change banknotes , ah , ah , you always find their corners torn off . consequently , you are more or less forced to convert them into notes of large denominations .
but , when you pay with a big note , the store proprietor would definitely say that he does not have enough change for you . giving " your " note back , he , then , still asks for small notes of torn corners . then , you have no alternative but take back the counterfeit note of a large denomination .
4 . black magician and small change : not every store owner gives back " your " note which he has substituted with a counterfeit . that is a serious felony involving relatively greater risks .
hence some " timid " store owners can only play the role of the black magician . you clearly see him counting out the correct change . but when you have a chance to do the counting yourself , ah , ah , you would find that a few notes are missing .
5 . the place is awash with imported wine and liquor . in the tearoom of the railroad station , they do not seem to be in excessive quantity . but you'll find out soon enough when you walk in .
a couple glasses of inferior red wine can be sold at prices rivaling that of martell cognac . if you refuse to pay , you may leave the place and find that your mother no longer recognizes who you are .
6 . roses and fire arms : in the vicinity of the rail station , there are numerous video parlors which screen programs whose titles still have enormous attraction over us , the vulgar male viewers . if you step in to take a look , you will surely be taken as an honor guest seeking rest and recreation . consequently , a rose mm appears in an instant to keep you company . naturally , prices are comparable with that of 5-star hotels . otherwise , you will see that swords are not always used on the enemy !
7 . ice and fire : if you have a changsha accent or know the city well , you will never be able to get a taxi in front of the rail station . the facial expressions of the taxi drivers will acquaint you with what is called " frost in june . "
but , if you are a first-time visitor in changsha , congratulations to you . even if the place you want to go to is only five minutes away on foot , the driver will be extra warm and solicitous in showing you the pre-eminent sceneries of this nationally designated tourism city , and to offer you , in " second-hand " fashion , a puff of the famous white sand brand cigarettes or the characteristic local smell of betel-nuts .
of course , you'd have to pay the taxi out of your own pocket . wouldn't you ?
nanjing underground train driver should receive psycho treatment soonest
key term : psychotherapeutic readjustment
according to xinhua news agency , a man lying on the tracks of the nanjing underground was killed in the evening of july 3 .
the reporter said : " zhu zhengting , 22 years old , a young underground train driver , lived through a nightmare . when your reporter met him yesterday , zhu did not seem to have regained his composure after being wrecked by the horrifying experience . sitting on a chair , he stared straight forward , betraying signs of dementia .
obviously , the young driver was psychologically devastated and in urgent need of immediate psychotherapeutic treatment . without such treatment , he could expect permanent damage and life-long suffering .
i don't know if all could remember that more than 10 years ago , a man rescued a little girl from an abandoned oil well in texas , usa. he underwent psychotherapy for a long period of time . but still he finally chose suicide to end his life of miseries .
at the time , he was given simple psychotherapeutic treatment . but since attention was mostly on the rescued little girl , the very person who needed even more psychotherapeutic attention was neglected . finally , tragic consequences became inevitable .
similarly , in a smuggling case across the strait of dover several years ago , the first british policeman to open the suspect container , was reported to have blacked out right on the scene .
later , british authorities gave him psychotherapeutic treatment for more than two months before he regained normal psychological equilibrium .
draconian trauma caused by disasters often leaves behind severe psychological damage which can not be repaired by the individual victim alone . such damage often would leave behind a psychological scar .
such scars are hardly ever discernible to an outsider . and , even if discovered and identified , they often defy remedies and therapeutic treatment . hence , many such victims are left in life-long misery and suffering .
however , in our country people show little care and concern over the suffering and victims of psychological trauma . this is especially true when we talk about family members and/or bosses and superior officers of the victims . they often let the most crucial moments and the most opportune period for rehabilitation slip away . then , they suddenly think about the matter only when it has become too late .
now , since public media have diversified , we often hear a lot of such sensational reports as : many young and/or adolescent girls are abused and injured and many children witness their parents subjected to inhuman cruelty .
after these children and teenagers are rescued , it is rarely reported that they have been given psychotherapeutic treatment . most of them are consoled by their relatives .
even if the victims now feel safe , their wounds eventually become scars of unrelieved pain and horror that are awakened frequently to haunt them and poison their life and behavior all the time .
fortunately , his superiors gave the underground train driver timely help and consolation on the spot to effectively relieve and ameliorate his pressure and strains .
after all , the driver was neither at fault nor responsible at al for the accident . he also took all needed emergency measures after discovering the dangers . although he could not and did not forestall the tragic accident , he did all that could have been done .
i believe , even if another eye-witness , instead of this driver , were present at the scene , he or she , likewise , would have been rudely shocked by the accident .
but other people are not involved in or responsible for the behavior of the man committing suicide . even if they were shocked and frightened , the shock will be gradually forgotten with the passage of time .
the driver , as someone directly involved , could not have things so easy . he consciously and subconsciously commits the horror scene to memory , possibly for the rest of his life .
if he could be released from memories of this tragedy , that is lucky riddance of the hurtful images . if not , horror will keep on haunting him forever .
the modern concept of good health embraces all aspects of a person 's well being . mental health is beginning to get more attention .
it is regrettable that mental conditions of mankind in general are deplorable , particularly in urban areas . mental health of the human population is far from ideal . the majority more or less has been threatened by potential mental disorders . and others , already confronted with psycho problems , cannot stir up sufficient sympathy and concern in the mind of the public .
just think of the lessons learned in the " yang lijuan incident " a while back . some irresponsible media , in order to arouse public interest and attention , made a target and a sacrificial lamb of a mental patient in deep psychological strain and misery . that exerts very bad influence on the society .
we must try to prevent this sort of incident from rearing its head . otherwise , our society will become a sick society .
emerging from first round of new curricula training five dongkou fifth high teachers have much to say
key terms : dongkou fifth high school , first group of teacher-trainees , training course for new curricula . as members of the first group taking the training course for the new curricula , five dongkou fifth high school teachers made a lot of comments . from morning hours of july 13 to july 15 , the first group of five dongkou fifth high teachers to take the training courses on the new curricula , felt the palpable pressures and driving force of the curricula .

after all training courses were concluded in the morning of the 15th , tests and evaluation were also conducted . the five teachers from the dongkou fifth high passed these tests without a hitch and received end-of-course certificates . for they all studied earnestly and never were too late in arriving or too early in quitting individual training sessions .
in the period of the training sessions , teachers from the dongkou fifth high exchanged views among themselves . not familiar with the new curricula in the beginning , all of them felt that assignments were burdensome and pressures , heavy . they were not sure of themselves .
but after the training sessions were over , all pronounced the whole episode a worthy opportunity and challenge .
and all pledged their best effort to restructure the educational and knowledge system and to push forward the curricula reformation program to a satisfactory conclusion .
the second group of teacher-trainees to join the new curricula training program have already arrived in the relevant destinations on the 16th to take up the training courses .

glad to befriend fans of stars xxx
key terms : fans of the stars
i have a female friend whom i never met face-to-face .
i told her directly : i admire you very much .
for you express your love very directly
she likes a popular male host on an entertainment show in taiwan and never tries to cover it up at all .
when this male host went to jinan to host a popular program , she flew to jinan ; when he went to changsha as a guest performer she winged there .
in a book he wrote , the male host said a friend sent him a slingshot sans missiles as a gift . she was surprised and told me that this slingshot was a gift " i presented to him . "
she also joined a team to put out an electronic magazine centered around this star . joined by me , she enjoyed viewing every issue of it in great excitement .
i always like to make friends with people who frankly admit that they are fans of one star or another .
the stars could be a television celebrity , a popular ball player , or , of course , towering figures in other fields .
i never consider these friends shallow . i think they are lovable .
generally , they are honest and straightforward . if they like a person , they say so outright . if they dislike one , they also admit it .
dealing with this type of people put you at ease .
although they might not take your feelings one hundred percent into consideration . but at least you know well what and how they feel , be it joy , anger , sadness or merriment . you enjoy a sense of greater security when dealing with them .
these people are very frank and honest .
you should realize that dare to express one 's likes and dislikes also takes courage .
because of a lack of such courage , many people like another person all through their life but remain silent about it . they might even look down on those who openly announce that they are fans of so and so .
i think , being frank is one of the most admired virtues of a person -- frank to one 's friends and frank to oneself .
but to be truly frank is , in fact , very difficult .
if one is able to like a star , at least it proves that one has a unselfish streak in the heart .
some of my friends are fans of one star or another .
to set eyes on this very star , they do not mind suffer inconveniences , miseries and even a great sacrifice . they could go without meals or live a thrift life . they could also hold big posters with the left hand , manipulate a camera in the right hand and , at the same time , shouting at the top of their voice .
you may call them foolish or childish , but they need to be selfless so that they can love without expecting any compensation ,
since in the real world too many people love only themselves , always consider themselves to be in the right and never say a good word for another person , this selflessness appears all the more rare and precious .
therefore , when people get together to discuss which stars are their idol , and one of the people present would say that " i worship nobody , "
then , ha , ha , better be careful and on your guard .
about zhang xiaohui
key term : zhang xiaohui
by chance i saw one show of the serial , " emperor kangxi comes , " which i have not been watching for a long time . its leading star is zhang xiaohui .
i think it was around the time when " peach color " was being promoted .
i saw " peach color " when i was crazy about films of passion .
at that time , i really felt it odd that films of lust could be so aesthetic , and sometimes also quite interesting . it is called films of passion .
actually i have not seen too many of these films , but those i did see were filmed in quite a number of countries .
my earliest contacts were with films from korea and japan ;
then , also many from third-world countries , and latin american and european countries . but , on the other hand , i have not seen too many from hollywood or from france .
of them , two films were so worthy that i could not afford to delete . one was " adolescence " and the other " peach color . "
the first half of " peach color " was quite good . all hands were new and all worked hard . the director also knew how far to go and when to stop .
the second half was , however , somewhat abnormal . i could not accept it at all .
in fact , what i want to say is : zhang xiaohui said on the program that her boy friends came from nearly all countries of the world except countries in africa .
at the time , she had four boy friends .
this is something , i am afraid , people generally cannot accept . they would say that this person is too licentious .
but the key of the issue is : she was perfectly sincere and honest when uttering these words , leaving not an iota of bad taste or awkwardness in the listener .
she also talked about her own view and position on love .
for example : the other party must be financially independent .
i guess , she meant , independent also in personality and be able to control one 's own destiny .
for i know that a person in love sees love as something on the move and something selfish . how can one permit the person one loves accept love from anybody else !
according to my experience , knowledge and forecast , zhang xiaohui is not experiencing simple emotional attachment , but , decidedly , typical affections between an elder sister and a younger brother .
in elder sister-kid brother love , the sister can be extremely tolerant and broad-minded . for example , the sister has several brothers all at the same time . meanwhile , the brother can love the sister insatiably because of her attraction and her motherliness , and do not mind such things as exclusiveness .
on the other hand , i also find in the remarks of zhang xiaohui that she , in fact , understands well how to enjoy life .
for instance , she loves travel to a fault .
hence , i also have a reason to believe that her life is excellent and wonderful .
but before i am really so convinced , i might not be able to accept these things and happenings .
just examine my case . i have also accepted many people , without , in fact , being prejudiced by broad-mindedness or narrow-mindedness . once you see through the mist and fog , you know that love and hate are anything but absolute .
these people could be passer-by a , friend b , miss zhang ziyi , good friend c , or sister hibiscus .
looking at the life of others , you are no more than an onlooker . to an onlooker , aren't you the master of your own life ?
this is like the situation that legends about myself have always been found in the jiangnan region , even if i have not been there myself .
men need spirit of fun
key term : spirit of fun
for a man , life is very hard and burdensome . hence , he needs to have some fun .
you either laugh at yourself , watch others making a fool of themselves , or gossip about other people .
for example , you should go to " the end of the world ( tianya ) , " to take a look at the " gossip for fun " for a bit of relaxation .
in it , everybody has his say . naturally , as different shades of blackness in gossips are mongered endlessly , you should be able to distinguish truth from falsehood and the right from the wrong .
speak out whenever you wish . and you end up not knowing what you are talking about . but , you have to understand what are you seeing and reading .
little s calls cai kang an intellectual , or one of the " people who read books . "
if i can also be counted in this group , then i belong to those people who read a few books , but do not fully understand what they have read .
luckily , i always know myself .
but , after all , i got what i wished to get when i read those few books .
and coincidentally , i like to think and let my thoughts run wild . i read when i think at the same time . this enables me to see the meaning of things clearly all of a sudden .
consequently , some good habits and attitudes are formed . for instance , i often tell myself to be more strict and demanding on my self , but be kind to others .
whenever problems or difficulties arise , first look inward for the cause and put the blame on myself .
handle the business side rationally , but handle emotions , friendship and feelings with empathy .
behave and deal with fellow men in a low key . execute businesses also in a low key .
but you know , people are not that good and usually tend to be selfish and calculating in matters of gain and loss . oftentimes they are hopelessly emotional and sentimental just when the need of the hour is rationality . and when they should use their heart and feelings , they often become god-damned rational .
but , the good thing about it is : one would not think of regretting the choices one makes .
when it is done , it is done . when you fall on your face , resign yourself to the mishap .
why should you chew the nonsense over and again in your mind ?
not too bad , i am not a dour fellow who always try to show myself as a superior intellectual . i am just an ordinary and unrefined commoner .
only a difference between me and some of my fellow men lies in the fact that i need not act as a cynic or a misanthrope . i treat everything and all situations rationally .
and , perhaps , another example of the difference lies in my strong faith and profound convictions .
once i trust a person , then , i believe everything he or she does is good .
even if there are inadequacies in him or in her , i would be willing and glad to accept and tolerate them .
even if i am not of the type that is chummy with friends who frequently get together in a lively and rousing way , i can be classified as one who always has his friends ' interest on his mind .
but , as this is the case , i guard myself rather carefully against bad company .
also , i could not understand at all why there are still so many people who believe what is said and acted upon in the newspapers .
perhaps , in their mind news reports of today still have that quality of sacredness as they had in the olden days .
however , in this world , there are so many things that i cannot understand .
it 's a joke !
i slap myself on the face .
song dandan " depth of happiness , " warm and touching
key terms : song dandan , depth of happiness
sometime ago , i read a newspaper report about a newly published book by song dandan entitled " depth of happiness . "
i was quite keen on reading it .
for i wish to know what views she -- as a woman of her age and profession , and having gone through unusual changes in family and career life -- has on herself and on life itself .
as expected , the book did not disappoint me at all . going over it i was struck by two things . first , the book thrilled and electrified me . in the life of other people , i saw also my own shadow and image . secondly , i was deeply touched by detailed descriptions of affectionate life of the family .
why was i electrified ?
in the book song dandan wrote : " i neglected an important principle of life : to give is more fortunate than to receive .
i have always been busy giving , busy in making myself fortunate .
i don't want to receive and understand little of receiving . i neglect giving others the opportunity to give , that is neglecting the rights of others to be fortunate .
i discovered that i myself also have enjoyed such good fortune all the time . from here on , perhaps i should be more thoughtful in this regard .
if one can face his/her own past with openness and honesty , and bare all and everything before the public , that would have called for considerable courage .
in her book she wrote about , among other things , her first love , her collapsed marriage with yingda , penetrating analysis of herself as well as the affections between herself and her son
there is another matter related to this book which is worthy of praise . in the beginning , the publisher must have strongly urged her to lay greater emphasis on " i love my sweet home , " and " lay ambush in ten directions " as well as a series of short essays on zhao benshan .
but , i think she must have held firm to her principles . only casual mention of zhao benshan appeared at the end . as to " ambush " and " i love my home , " both were hardly touched on .
throughout the entire book , the reader finds brimful of descriptions of how a 40-year-old woman understands and feels about her own life , love , family and kinship affections . it is warm and touching .
busy vacation
key terms : vacation , busy
vacation started a week ago . but since then , there has not been one idle moment either .
i took part in a conference at the academy . then , i also must gather needed materials for a meeting next week , including drafting a paper to be delivered on that occasion .
i will be very busy in this vacation .
provided that nothing goes out of control , my plans call for the attendance of three conferences and visits to four or five cities .
life is fully packed with much content . some items are similar to each other , others are of various types . i almost forgot how vacations in past years were spent .
my memories seem to indicate that earlier vacations also were not all spent in idleness .
only , in earlier vacations i was in control over the use of long periods of free time . but this year such time has been much curtailed .
is it a good or a bad thing ?
busy times generally make for a fuller life . but getting busy for nothing or only for a meager harvest , imposes a discount on the value of the packed work schedules .
however , it seems that there are times when life cannot be evaluated entirely on the criteria of effect produced . life is to be slowly experienced . to walk on solid ground , to ensure safety and stability in life , and to live fully and pleasantly constitute one sort of worthy accomplishment , even though they cannot be expressed on a scale of social benefits .
the worth of every individual is assessed on a scale of social value and on a scale of personal value . if one is to be assessed only on one but not on both scales , what should we do ?
marxism tells us that the scale of social value should be the top choice , for marxism advocates contributions by the individual to the society . in reality , however , a healthy and sound society also should fully respect the wishes and values of the individual , and should even create favorable conditions for the realization of personal values .
this question suddenly caught my interest and attention . more and more clearly i found that marxist principles really are effective .
these principles are indeed valid . but in real life , people sometimes cannot help getting confused .
even if realization of personal values does not infringe on the realization of social values , would every individual in the real world be satisfied with the realization of himself ? and would he ignore or even set social values aside ?
or , can the satisfaction of realizing one 's personal values be divorced from social values assessment ?
that is very difficult , it seems .
consequently , after working hard to live a good ordinary life , every one of us cannot help pursuing excellence and the extraordinary . failing that , we would blame ourselves for wasting our life .
probably , this is one facet of the social man .
now the vacation has begun , the days do become more or less relaxed .
at least , i have time to watch an occasional video show , or relax and play a while ,
and chat a little . there 's still work to be done , and a life to live .
next week , i have to go away again , to a conference in xi-an .
although i have never visited xi-an , the city is not much to my liking , because of some prejudices i have picked up .
i hope this forthcoming trip could change my impressions of this city . ho , ho !
" highly feministic life "
key terms : men , feminism era
in the afternoon ying phoned . we talked for a while and brought up me watching " pleasant male voice . "
ying said : " it couldn't be true ! you are too cute ! super female voice followed by pleasant male voice , you are a real loyal audience of the hunan satellite television . "
i admitted that she was right .
ying said she watched some talent hunt programs featuring male performers . she considers them bunch of feminine males . i agree with her , but told her that " pleasant male voice " has reached a 5-rising-to-4 rating and would score 4-rising-to-3 next week . the vocals were really good . every one tumbled over the other in their climb to the summit .
ying , a student of popular and consumer subcultures , also became excited and said she would watch that program next week . after all , when competition is reaching its most crucial final climax , the show will become most spectacular . taking a look at it could very well help a researcher collect materials on interesting cases essential for future research projects .
then , our conversation turned to the topic : arrival of the age of male sexual appeal .
men finally changed their status from the " observer " to the " observed . " women , who played the role of " guest " in the past , have now become the " master , " who can , as spectators , face down and enjoy various types of shows of the age of male sexual appeal which feature a cast of male stars .
ying said , that is liberation of women , and a signpost of feminism .
then , she added : " don't you think you are leading a highly feministic life ? "
upon hearing ying 's remarks , i burst out into loud laughter of joy .
these words are 100 percent feministic in themselves . but , it takes somebody better than i , somebody like ying , who has such superior faculties of deliberation and discrimination , to explain and illuminate these things clearly and in great depth .
in " pleasant male voice " i like very much the songs of chen chusheng which are of excellent quality capable of penetrating time and space in the direction of your heart . very pure , clean and comforting .
songs by su xing are varied in form and presented with a great deal of feeling . his looks are elegant and graceful . meanwhile , he carries himself vivaciously and lightheartedly .
zhang jie 's songs are extremely powerful and resonant . particularly , the two songs , " your looks " and " yesterday is blown away , " on today 's program are my old favorites impressively presented .
wei chen who closely resembles lu yi , has a lovely face pure and clear . he is believed to be very popular among young girls . naturally , his voice is quite presentable .
with four top stars of this stature racing further upward to the summit , the show should be tremendously worth watching .
we are looking forward to watching their sensational shows next week !
topsy-turvy " pickled cabbage mood " on june 29
key terms : pickled cabbage , seoul
topsy-turvy " pickled cabbage mood " on june 29 . i have international roaming , but , upon getting off the plane , i found it was like the power was cut on my cell phone . not even one line of signals was shown . perhaps for quanqiutong , its coverage meant the influence sphere of the heart . and the coverage would take effect on the day of your next payment .
for the coming days , i would temporarily lose contact with you all. ha , ha , will anybody worry about me because of this ?
i opened the " secretary " in order to ascertain who was thinking of me ,
no matter the thoughts were of business or of private life .
but , the question was : " who do i wish would be thinking of me ? "
my heart has turned blank and empty . and i don't know the time this began to happen .
i do not understand why some people would go away even if you want to keep them , while others believe they can elbow their way in despite your wish to get rid of them . does it not sound and feel like a scene in the marketplace ?
but , the heart . can you fill the heart with the " white glove " type of substitutes even if you are not allocated any room in that heart ?
after all , material things and the heart just cannot be discussed on the same terms !
our car runs on the high speed freeway leading to pusan .
the minister does not say a word when he is driving . neither do i have anything to say .
after all , he understands neither chinese nor english . and i can only say a few , a few sentences in pidgin english .
i am bored watching the computer screen and working the keyboard . inside the car , only the clicking on the keyboard and the pleasant voice of young korean ladies from the gprs navigation system . all is deadly quiet .
outside the car window , what is left for you to watch is an endless stretch of green and a grayish sky .
for me , keeping quiet seems to be out of character .
unexpectedly , the only thing that makes me feel at home in this country is the english language .
the eye-full of circles makes you nothing else but dizzy .
i think , korea definitely would not make compasses ,
because there is no demand of compasses in the market .
seoul is clean , thoroughly clean , meticulously clean .
only , it is too bad that in the few days in seoul i have had no time to visit any place outside the workplace and department stores . all my impressions are gained through what i see along the roads i travel .
luckily , everything is still nice and beautiful .
the korean people are strictly observing traditional courtesy , smiling methodically , and listening seriously . they are refined and quiet .
all that meet the eye are the beautiful surface layer , traditional customs , old style architecture and a national culture that is trembling with fear .
is that hypocrisy ?
maybe a little hypocrisy is okay . at least all would observe decorum .
when ugly things are not in sight , people would think that they do not exist .
korean food and drinks are very good .
however , i don't like and don't understand why all the changes back and forth involve only the presentation of pickled vegetables in various forms and on different combination platters . it goes without saying , seaweed is an indispensable ingredient of all and every dish .
now , let 's look at things from another angle . the korean people are really tops doing research on food and drinks . they can tell apart the pickled cabbage made and stored on the surface of the earth and that made and stored underground ; and can determine with measured-by-the-minute precision the age of pickled cabbage .
all these constitute circumstantial evidences that the korean national character of meticulousness has something to do with their use of pickled cabbage from early morning to late evening .
but , i am worried . as the minister is about taking us to that japanese tofu restaurant , i wonder how will its cook combine pickled vegetables with his specialties .
recalling the chinese food we had last night , i feel like crying . it is completely " koreanized " and the only thing that could pass muster was pickled cabbage .
ah huh , thanks to the china southern airline for the pickled cabbage it offered on the in-flight menu .
the airline must have presumed that i wish to accustom myself to the korean delicacy right from the time i board the korea-bound aircraft .
there are two more days to go before i return home . in case i still have nobody on my mind , i'd do well thinking of our maid who serves a dish of good chinese pork stew .
after all , to fill one 's stomach is more direct and immediate fulfillment than to satisfy the needs of the heart .
naturally , this point has nothing to do with pickled cabbage .
two trees
there are two trees . one is me ; one is my brother-in-law .
we provide each other shade , and help and care for each other .
in my generation , families bring up many sons and daughters . but i have no brothers , only sisters -- elder and younger sisters . therefore , it apparently appears to be a very important occasion when a brother-in-law arrives .
we were children from poor families who had to do the countless household chores ever since very young ages . i tried hard to put up a grown-up façade and to perform like a skillful old hand , but , what i did never could win a nod of approval from my dad .
ever since early childhood , i have been bothered by the symptoms of sleepwalking , which were not very serious . but , while doing house work , the wondering mind inevitably pop up , now and then .
once dad wanted me to apply some plaster on the chimney of our old house . i hurried up to the top of the roof to do the job .
the plastering job was done . but when it rained , the roof sprang a leak because i stepped on a few tiles and broke them .
another instance began as dad asked me to replace a light bulb , an old-fashioned unfrosted light bulb .
after i climbed up a stool , the new bulb slipped out of my hand dropped down to the cement floor and was smashed .
i lost count of such little incidents . consequent to the numerous blunders i committed , my brother-in-law , soon after being welcomed to the house , took over house chores , all and sundry , as a matter of course . and , he did them with flying colors at hardly any labor cost .
as to me , it meant happy times to hide myself in a corner of the house to enjoy " xian shu , " ( books for killing time ) which looks and feels like bricks .
later on , we grew into two big trees that are strong enough to support the building that was our family .
but , my father , on the other hand , inevitably saw his stature began and kept on shrinking . finally , dad in the wheel chair became a thick growth of shrubs that stays quiet and unnoticed in the deep shade .
unexpectedly , fate , like the weather , suddenly altered its course . the 50-year-old brother-in-law , all of a sudden , was afflicted with a serious disease . still looking luxuriant , this huge tree , however , was drawing incredibly close to its horrible end , death .
on a dazzling summer day , outside the operating room of the beijing union hospital , the surgeon casually said : the case is not worth operating .
he has , at the most , two more months to live .
right at this instant , i was dumfound , feeling like being struck by a stray bullet that separated my soul from the body .
again , somnambulism began to rear its head . i saw the courtyard of our old house and my young brother-in-law busily moving about there .
then , awakened by a shrilling cry from my elder sister , i hurried to the hallway in the hospital where she fell down and sat on the ground . i helped her up and embraced her while tears streamed down our cheeks .
the dazzling sun suddenly disappeared . and the scene just in front of my eyes turned black in fits and starts .
after coming back to our hometown , my brother-in-law soon found out the true condition of his illness . holding my sister in his arms , he joined her in a good and unrestrained cry . after that , he unexpectedly regained his calm and freedom from anxieties .
my brother-in-law began methodically to make arrangements for the family for the time after his departure from this world . for instance , he would tell his son to " take good care of the grandma on behalf of me . " " after grandma passes away , bury her remains in your grandpa 's grave . " and he gave instructions on how to open that grave to prepare for the burial of both grandparents together .
" pay frequent visits on your maternal grandfather . bring him useful and practical gifts on new year 's and other festival holidays . "
also , he told my younger sister " to visit your elder sister often after i am gone . all by herself , she must be very lonely and lonesome . "
i tried to allocate as much time as possible to visit with him . he was usually embarrassed when we were together face to face .
we often faced each other silently , as two trees would . though living , they cannot talk to each other .
they are two grown-up trees . wind-swept and rain-soaked , we are past masters of facing the world of trials and tribulations . was it still necessary for him to tell me anything more ?
it seemed unnecessary .
for your heart understands : after you are gone , my sister , and the children you two brought to this world , in fact , the entire family , will have to lean on me , one of the two trees left standing .
who makes the decision that i be born a man !
as a man , you must , like it or not , resolutely keep your backbone upright and lift the burdens up on your shoulders .
the only regret i have is : why did you , the other tree , wither away so early when you should still live a life of abundance and luxuriant growth in your sun-set years that were to come ?
you departed this world on the new year 's day on the lunar calendar .
that is the festival spring holiday celebrated by chinese communities all over the world . but , you took your leave , all alone .
perhaps , in another world and under a new framework of time and space , is another new life being born ?
n minutes in life
the reason that i came up with such a seemingly fashionable title is that the befuddled brain had no time to trifle with counting the minutes when the world was plunging into the depth of utter despair .
like an innocent person suddenly receives , out of the blue , a court sentence of capital punishment . will he try to pick out , in a leisurely manner , the grammatical mistakes in the text of the sentence ?
on a winter day , it was very cold in the youth hostel .
nobody knew who was on duty . throughout the day , the stove remained unlit .
since a strong earthquake was said to be imminent , we did not bother to kindle the stove when we returned to our den early in the evening .
on the long bunk which could accommodate 12 people , the four of us , bundled in cotton quilts , and shivering all over from severe cold , were playing the poker game " three to one " under dim light , betting with our meal coupons .
all of a sudden , a noise which started far away was rolling nearer and nearer . in a split second , we exchanged staring glances and realized that catastrophe was descending on us .
consequently , throwing away the cards in our hand , jumping down from the bunk , together we dashed through two narrow doors out of the room .
at the very blink we cleared the dormitory building , the poor hut of piled-up stone was instantaneously pulverized .
after dashing into the courtyard , we found the ground swinging under our feet the way a boat does . like a toy tumbler , the world rocked back and forth unable to find a firm footing .
in a matter of seconds , buildings all around us , contrary to its old image of solid stability , creaked , whined , performed the mad dance number , " thunderclap , " and finally turned themselves into a spiral of smoke and floating dust in an act of suicide .
the power-lines above our head , naturally , would like to join the crowd . they snapped with a sharp cracking sound , and , like horse whips , flew wildly in all directions .
and all around us , the devastating earth tremors were celebrating their novel accomplishment with fireworks . multi-colored flashes of light emissions from the earth easily beat the special effects of all elaborate blockbuster war movies in beauty and impressiveness . sounds of the earthquake rolling on in all directions like the beating of battle-field drums severely strained one 's nerves .
at that juncture , everybody had the same idea on his mind : " the last day for mankind has arrived ! "
i could imagine that a yawning gap was opening up on the ground under our feet . there in , boiling lava hissed like molten iron to issue a fiery invitation . innumerable numbers of humans , looking like ants , were dropping down into the lava in a free fall . they disappeared in a split second , without being generous enough to leave behind even a streak of blue smoke .
my spine became happily numb as if someone had injected ice water in the column . in the darkness , faces of my companions looked like paper masks drifting and floating about unsteadily .
i asked myself : is mankind taking leave of this beautiful and interesting world ? is the civilization of myriads of years to be completely wiped out overnight ?
but , i am not yet 20 years old . the flower of youth has just started to blossom . the delight of life is barely discovered . oh , how reluctant i am to say goodbye to this world !
oh , my dad , mom and all my loved ones , where are you ? what are you doing at this moment ? are you still alive ?
faced with the terrifying and gloating smiles of the god of death , how i yearn over all of you !
. . . . i did not know how long this lasted . finally , the empty-headed me was delighted to discover that the rolling noise transmitted through the ground was gradually diminishing , earth tremors were slowing down and the smoke and spark overhead also stopped blinking .
the huge ship tumbling in the sky-high waves and frightful storm was finally inching her way into a peaceful harbor .
having just weathered a maddening battle , a young and easily breakable heart was finally and carefully returned to its original position .
oh my earth ! my home and garden ! finally , you made us feel again the warmth and care of our home !
born of our survival of a catastrophe , a feeling of joy and good fortune slowly spread out from both heels upward through the entire body
after regaining his foothold , yu doudou who was barely 17 years old , suddenly cried out loud . for he simply could not bear to see the once warm and harmonious youth hostel now reduced to a huge pile of debris and ruins .
the highly contagious mood was transmitted to all people present . and tears swelled into a torrent .
snow began to fall down from the firmament . was it expressing sadness and mourning for the victimized mankind ?
that year , earthquake took more than 1,000 lives in haicheng .
some experts say it was extremely fortunate that there were timely forecasts and that the quake took place before most people went to bed . otherwise , the quake measuring 7.3 on the richter scale would have taken a toll of at least one hundred thousand lives
only one year later , an earthquake shook up tangshan and killed more than 200,000 people .
things happened in village
in the village there are many families . of them , the family named nan is the most disliked . a well-known phrase widely circulated in the village says : " guard against fire , robbers and the nans . "
in fact , the whole nan clan may be counted as relatively honest .
ordinarily , some families would swipe something , such as melons , from the field of other people . all that the nan family does are no worse than pilfering a chicken or stealing a dog . it shouldn't have come to the point that the whole village shuns and tries to isolate the nan family .
no body is clean . who have we of the nan clan offended ?
the nan family has begun to engage in a number of prideful activities , demonstrating that the village , in its earliest beginning , was founded by ancestors of the nan clan which has always been a large grain producing household . moreover , it has produced quite a number of celebrities in history , and , additionally , made important contributions to the development and construction in the village .
in the meantime , members of the nan family warmly and anxiously invite cadres of the village to come for visits and to look around .
all in all , members of the entire nan clan strive for progress resolutely . they want to take the initiative in a battle and to strive for power and strength .
not very long ago , the xi family did something that was rather mean : -- cruelly persecuting the young sprouts of the nan family .
the family named xi is well known in the whole village through their work of match-making . all young men benefited from such work by the xi family .
without the good match-making service performed by xi family members , how can you , members of all families , do a good job in production ?
but in recent days members of the xi family , to the surprise of other villagers , used black bricks to squeeze out the life of young sprouts brought forth by the nan family . that action was extremely abominable . the whole village rose in anger and said that the xi family did not even have one good and decent family member .
the nans demanded that the xi family give them an explanation . that touched off a wave of sympathy and support for the nans throughout the village .
one after another , virtually all villagers spit on the members of the xi family .
this way , the battlefield is transferred to the xi family .
the nan family made a firm decision to give a good shine to the image of the clan before the opening of the 17th plenary conference of the village . they wanted to help the clan , which had more members than other clans in the village , to grow and prosper in the future .
although cadres of the village try , day in and day out , to persuade everybody to keep inter-personal relationships harmonious , life in the place that we know as zhong village , however , is far from peaceful and tranquil .
in a short period of two to three months , the most irritating thing that happened is the revolt proclaimed boisterously by the pigs . even pigs wish to raise themselves in others ' esteem .
two years ago , chickens spread bird flu in many villages . weren't they all liquidated ?
poor pig , don't you have brains in the head ?
don't you dare to further instigate a revolution ! that will deny you a chance to escape the fate of decapitation .
in the village of mei and in the village of ying , two habitual bullies , life has been blessed by wealth and abundance but not necessarily by peace and harmony .
in the village of mei , some vagabonds knock down a couple of skyscrapers today . tomorrow they throw boxfuls of dynamite on underground rail tracks in the village of ying . these are frightening enough , aren't they ?
these things have enabled people in the villages of shang and zhong to reach the following conclusion : though they cannot afford decent housing , sick calls , medical care and opportunities to receive education , they are able to work on farms and in factories and can build up their social network in peace and good conscience . this means these villages have already ushered in the modern age .
there are the nan family , the xi family , and many others . which one of them can claim to be completely free from difficulties and problems ?
take a look at the wan family in the southeastern part of the village . though the head of this clan is shameless and dishonorable , our great village of zhong , still takes good care of them just the same ?
the inter-village games of 2008 will be held in our village of zhong very soon . let some of the unworthy problems in the village be cleared away . and let the naughty children of the village be disciplined .
let all the families and households light their lamps and kindle their fires . let the wealthy chip in with their monies and the able-bodied pledge their muscle power .
when the time comes , let us go to the bird nest to see the gold eggs .
( sound effect off screen , phasing out : gold eggs or silver eggs ? friends in the audience , the audience , this is yongge , a program host of the village tv station )
eric looks at google china
key words : eric , google , google china . author : an ordinary google employee
i am an employee who joined google china rather early . in the recent two years we went through a lot of tests . some of them were expected beforehand , but others , for sure , happened unexpectedly .
yesterday , since the corporate earnings report of this quarter , it is learned , would devote a special chapter to reporting developments in china , and , by chance , heard corporate ceo , eric 's answer to a question about china . the remarks by eric provided me with a lot of food for thought which i have just located and am sharing with you now .
these remarks were made in the google inc. second quarter 2007 earnings conference call last week.(http://investor.google.com/earnings.html ) in answer to a reporter 's question ceo eric said he was completely satisfied with current accomplishments of google china and had a full measure of confidence in google 's future development in the chinese market .
eric said : in china we have excellent talents , constantly upgraded equipment and installations as well as incessantly enriched and localized production lines .
predicting no immediate and surefire success just in front of our eyes , eric , however , said google china already had a very good start . and , with hard work by the chinese team , generous support from the headquarters and plenty of perseverance , he was convinced that google china will certainly achieve astonishing results in the future .
yes , it is essential that we march onward and upward resolutely , for we were born and brought up here and we are deeply attached to this place . we firmly believe that google should give a great deal more to china and to its customers .
absolute link
slippers without strings
now , for whatever merchandise , top-less is all the rage , especially in the summer . everyone wishes to run around in the nude , for any piece of clothing would make the wearer that much hotter .
you probably learned sometime ago that t-back which was popular for quite a number of years was knocked out by g-string , because the latter has no string at all .
for the same reason , and in this day , the slippers you are wearing will quite likely become out-dated , because a brand new type , the string-less slipper , has made its appearance . it consists of nothing else but the sole .
how to wear that without a string ?
we are not god . manufacturers also have no magic .
this kind of slippers is directly glued to the sole : this is not prank , but real merchandise . its selling price is around us$ 13.5 per pair .
this is another kind of " i have imagined it could exist , but never dreamed of its real existence " product . it leaves me speechless .

please take a look . just glancing at it is enough to make the sole of my feet extremely uncomfortable. [ via f.c ]

watching blockbusters without wide screen ; pictures of cell phone projector revealed
key term : cell phone
the korean company iljin display is introducing a coin-sized laser projector module .
due to its extremely small size , the projector module , capable of creating a 7-in display area on the wall , can be installed inside a cell phone .

between shame and виной big difference .
it does n't a комфортна , but адаптивна .
in the middle of a motor , and also a шестерня . шестерня is used to transmit the rotation of engines .
and so there is a new пропущенный challenge . it could be a girl . it 's exciting .
and i 'm sure he did a поступал , i do n't не… было… well , sometimes , i think , of the depths of my tongue these thoughts flash up for so many years later .
no боязни fall , if you 've lost . if we храбро сражались , who посмеет укорить is that we sent everything that was in his hands .
either use and the and others .
and , you know , a lot of organs отбраковывается and not used .
and , so you can take out this structure ,
lm : ten years ago , when we did an operation , and very pleased to see it again .
so i 'm going to give you an example , which shows how fast does that evolution .
armstrong explained жестокую reality of locations . they were paid the rent 1,500 shillings , about 20 bucks a month , relatively expensive for кенийские slum , and they can not afford to задержку booths .
there 's многоэтажные buildings .
for more than half of the population .
and now we подобрались to these пределам with many sides .
the solution , which i this woman , in less than 10 years , are going to look like in the кровопускание .
that is , again , sent to make sense of what it 's all the new stuff .
and even at that time , in parallel with внедрением agriculture , 8-10 thousand years ago we started to see a climate change .
i would guess that if you want to see where do technology , we continue to carry on this trajectory , and we say , `` , to the things that might be more energy плотным , and they tend . '' and so what i did is i took the same thing and looked at the other aspects of evolutionary life and wonder , `` what are the general tendency of evolutionary life ? ''
do you know that one year the military 's 700 years of the u.n. budget and 928 two years of the u.n. budget for women ?
this is from the theory physics , often валишься with the message .
i found company , which have the same problem , and we created by коалицию struggling with a plastic pollution .
we transmit the relation to developing countries technology and the way people think that produces a crisis . it 's in bolivia . over 30 years ago .
геотермальные , концентрирующие solar energy refined solar cells , effectively and экологично .
and i found out there information .
it 's going to ковчегу . he opens it .
this is a list of `` who is who ? ''
so the governor got пустышку .
think about that .
an essay i wrote about my father for a year before he died , there was a new book tim .
the women said , `` we 're . we 're going to use the pill , but we need a doctor , to write a recipe , '' and we had very , very few doctors .
they were able to deliver on pills and condoms around the country , in every village .
ожидаемо . ok . i did элементарными particles .
i think that nature is dominated by law , and we , of course , it 's not that it would be good them at any particular time understand , but we try . and trying to get all closer to understanding .
and in the end , it was starting to all the time a мучить thought is that when we die , our own lives speaking of праха in collapse .
and their solid beliefs about it in plain language , метафорами and притчами .
well , if i did n't fully to reveal the book , if i приоткрою it by 90 degrees , we 're going to look at the pantheon as though at the top , and then we look like from somewhere up , down , in the area .
it looks like a typical place in the universe ?
one physical system -- our brains are contains the model in the system -- квазара .
interestingly changes hope .
actually , all the packaging .
we really want to get it to you on how to communicate with федеральными , окружными and local authorities organs to get them to do something .
in that city has a тайваньская firm , which makes an iphone , that there 's probably a lot of you , and makes them with the help of labor chinese who перебрались in called shenzhen .
so he went by , and for the surgery .
so meat multiplied in five times .
in fact , there 's no on the earth food , which is the requirements of the питательным веществам , and yet do n't want to grow enough , and a lot of them are much полезнее for health than what we eat today .
i was the prison -- it 's hard .
mk : we 've got to deal about the brand .
we can do it !
it turns out , there 's a model , which has
we 're at them not for them , but for ourselves .
robert gupta .
robert gupta : i want to play now this problem i had cracked бессовестно have виолончелистов .
so please forgive me .
whether it 's asking me to raise your hand or поаплодировать people of various ages ?
i wonder how many people here from three to 12 years old .
that is , not a single ?
all right .
i 'm going to tell you about dinosaurs .
do you remember the dinosaurs your childhood ?
the dinosaurs , they do прикольные .
but now we 're going to talk about a different .
so i 'm just going to give you the rest of my idea : can i ask you do n't вымирать .
that 's all it is .
i 'm often asked , and this is the most frequent задаваемый question : why do children were like dinosaurs ?
well , what their fascination ?
and i would always say , `` well , the dinosaurs were big , which , and they went extinct . ''
they are gone .
but that 's not true , but for a minute 'll act as though we do and it worked .
well , the basic idea is this : big , generous and вымершие .
the title of my talk is : begin the form of dinosaurs : reasons преждевременного extinction .
i think that we remember dinosaurs .
there are lots of different forms .
a lot of different types .
a very long time ago , in 1900-е , it was to find dinosaurs .
they gather them .
and the interesting thing is that every museum
wanted a dinosaur bigger and better than others .
and if the museum in a toronto заполучил тираннозавра , big , the museum in the оттаве wanted to kind of the same , but more and more .
and it happened with all these museums .
everyone was looking to бо́льших and the dinosaurs .
it was in the early 1900s .
take a look at all of these dinosaurs .
they all big .
where are all these little dinosaurs ? ''
they were thinking about it and even have written about this talk , `` where is the little dinosaurs ? ''
well , if you go to the museum , you 'll see , there 's a lot there pups dinosaurs .
people have -- this is the problem was -- people assumed that if they had the children dinosaurs , if they had a динозавры-подростки , it would be easy to identify .
but all they had was -- it 's a big dinosaurs .
and this leads us to two замечаниям :
so , first of all , have scientists have egos , and besides , they like to the names of 've classified it that way .
they at all like to чему-нибудь names .
anybody like that , when of any animal has his name .
and whenever they were something that looked like a few differently , and they called it in a different way .
in 1975 , просветление снизошло on a someone 's head .
dr. peter додсон at the university of пенсильванском recognized that the dinosaurs were just like the birds , the different than what grow reptiles .
in fact , he used as an example казуара .
now think about that .
in fact , they put their юношеские characteristics very for a long time in what we call онтогенезом .
so , аллометрический онтогенез черепной box has a correlation with its size skull .
and that 's the problem , and peter додсон looked at this focus , looking at уткоклювых dinosaurs , which is called the гипакрозаврами .
he showed that if you take детёныша and an adult abalone and imagine what it should look like the average age of between them if they kept growing linearly , so he had to be a гребень , equal to half the size of the ridge grown-up species .
but , in fact , a young неполовозрелые species at 65 percent of the time does n't have the ridge .
it was interesting .
and that was that it , again завело people gridlock .
if they did it , did a study додсона and agreed , we would have been much less species of dinosaurs than we have .
but because the scientists have their own egos , and they like to all sorts of things .
and they were name dinosaurs , because they were different .
but now we have a way to see if there was a dinosaur or more of any animal , a young and old особью .
you know , разрезав bone .
but you cut a bone dinosaurs -- pretty hard , as you can imagine , because for museums bone is the true jewelry .
you go to a museum and see what they really care about them .
they put them in a styrofoam , a little containers .
they carefully ухаживают for them .
and they do n't like it , if you want to go and saw them and look inside .
and typically , they do n't разрешают to do it .
but i have a museum , and i коллекционирую dinosaurs , and i can saw their specimens .
and i 'm этим-то .
if you вскроете bone детёныша dinosaur , they will be a губчатыми , as well .
and if you вскроете dinosaur bones are older , it 's very массивным .
you can just say , that 's a зрелая bone .
it 's very easy to spot .
well , i 'm going to show you this .
in north america , in the northern равнинах of the united states , and in a southern равнинах альберты and саскачевана mountain of formed a формацию хелл-крик , where the last dinosaurs lived on earth .
and the 12 of them , is that can learn , every -- i mean , the 12th of the dinosaurs that went extinct .
and we take them .
this is one of the things that i 've been doing .
my students , my team вскрывали them .
as you can imagine , вскрытие bone legs -- this is one thing , but when you go to a museum and you say , `` would you mind if i вскрою skull your dinosaur , and ? ''
they say , `` убирайтесь ! ''
here 12 dinosaurs .
the way we look at the first three .
this is the dinosaurs , which is called the пахицефалозаврами .
and we all know these three is related .
it 's supposed to be the them -- двоюродному or something like that .
but no one suggests that they can do that in a близком родстве .
in other words , people take a look at them and see the difference .
and you all know , which , if you want to determine whether you 're a being a brother or sister , you ca n't see it , if we look at the difference .
you 're going to be able to figure -- , just поискав similarities .
so people would look at them and say , what they are .
there was a big пахицефалозавров куполообразный set on the skull , little protuberances in the back of your head and шипы at the end of the nose .
now , here is another стигимолох is exactly the same age , живший at the same time , in the back of his head торчали sharp шипы .
he had a very small черепной set and шипы on the nose .
and this is a дракорекс , хогвартса eye .
know this ? how do dragon .
this is a dinosaur , which has a head were шипы , but there was no куполообразного rule book , and the nose торчали шипы .
and nobody noticed that the шипы were converge .
but they were looking at these three of them and say , `` these are the three different dinosaurs , and probably a дракорекс -- the most primitive little out of them .
and then the more primitive little than the other .
and i 'm confused , how they 're so классифицировали them .
but if you create them in the line , if you create a line three of these skull , this to be true .
дракорекс -- the smallest , стигимолох -- the middle size , пахицефалозавр -- the largest .
and who would have thought that this is going to be a clue .
but it was n't a clue to the rest of us .
and we know why .
scientists like getting the names of anything .
so if we вскроем дракорекса -- i вскрыл our дракорекса -- and it turned out , inside it a губчатый , completely губчатый .
and so , this is a young one , you can see that , and it 's very rapidly growing .
it will become more .
if you вскроете стигимолоха , here is the same thing .
it 's a very quickly .
and what 's interesting is a шипы on the back of the дракорекса also grew up very quickly .
шипы on the back of the стигимолоха gone , so they started getting smaller , as a dome bigger .
if we look at пахицефалозавра , he had a solid dome , a little шишки in the back of your head disappeared .
for example , these three dinosaurs , you can easily -- as scientists -- we can easily assume that it 's just a bunch of different individuals of the age of the same animal .
which , of course , means that стигимолохи and the дракорексы went extinct .
all right .
that means that we have to deal with the skyline of 10 dinosaurs .
well , one of my colleagues at berkeley , and i looked at it , трицератопса .
and all the way up to 2000 , but consider , for the first time трицератопсы were discovered in the 1800s , to 2000 , no one has ever seen a young трицератопса .
now there 's a трицератопс in every museum of the world , but nobody 's ever had an abalone again .
and we know why , right ?
because everybody wants a dinosaur more of them .
so they all have big dinosaurs .
well , we tried to take that dinosaurs , and we found lots and lots of little dinosaurs .
they 're all over the place , they everywhere .
including in a museum .
they 're talking , it 's because the museum small .
if you have a little museum , it 's a little dinosaurs .
if you look at the трицератопса , you can see how it actually does , like changes its shape .
as modern humans have been around them , horns grew back .
when they got older , their horns started to grow up .
it 's interesting .
if you look along the кромки воротника , look at them треугольные bones , who grow up in the form of big triangles and then all line up along the воротника , just like шипы have пахицефалозавров .
later , because in my collection of a young males , i вскрыл them and looked inside .
i was a little губчатым .
the average had the same губчатое formation .
but interestingly , an adult трицератопс also had a губчатое formation .
and this is a skull , достигающий in two meters long .
it 's a big skull .
but there 's another a dinosaur , we ever found in exactly the same формации , which looks like трицератопс , but only it anymore , and it 's called торозавр .
and when we вскроем his bones , we see that it 's grown bone .
and everyone said , `` трицератопсы and торозавры can not be one species because one of the other anymore . ''
`` and and it has a hole in воротнике . ''
and i say , `` well , do we have any one young торозавр ? ''
and i say , `` no , but it has a hole in воротнике . ''
one of my favorites , john сканнелла , looked at the whole collection and realized that the hole beginning to emerge have a трицератопсов , of course , it 's a торозавров , and he also discovered a переходную form between трицератопсами and торозаврами , and it 's a wonderful discovery .
well , now we know that торозавры -- in fact выросшие трицератопсы .
now , when we 're giving the names of 've classified it that way , when we actually give the names of something , оригинальное name приклеивается ; it 's a new stuff -- it falls off .
well , the торозавры went extinct .
трицератопсы , if you 've ever heard in the news , a lot of дикторы realize this is wrong .
they think , you 've got to keep the name of the торозавры and throw -- трицератопсы , but it does n't happen .
well , the same thing we can do it with a bunch of other dinosaurs .
so , for example , эдмонтозавры and анатотитаны .
анатотитан : giant a duck is .
it 's a huge уткоклювый is .
and this is another .
well , we look at the гистологию bone .
the tissue says that эдмонтозавры -- the young males , at least , неполовозрелые , and the other is an adult , and this is онтогенез .
so , we dispose of them from анатотитана .
and we can keep this series .
the final -- t. rex .
here are two dinosaur : t. rex and нанотиранус .
what makes you think about it .
but there 's a good question .
they take a look at them and they said , `` have one 17 teeth , and have the very large -- 12 .
so it 's got to be true -- they have different kinds . ''
well , we вскрыли them .
and , lo and behold , нанотиранусов bones were young , and have bigger -- more than adults bone ,
it looks like he 's still growing .
in the museum of the mountain , where we work , is actually four t. rex , and i 'll be able to dissect .
i did n't have to open their each one of them , because i ended up creating a into a series of their jaws , and it turned out that some of the major -- 12 teeth , in one way that small -- 13 , even smaller has 14 teeth .
and , of course , the nano has 17 teeth .
we focused our efforts and studied a piece of other people , and as a result of that was discovered by 15 teeth .
we can again with the breeze say that онтогенез тираннозавра puts the stage нанотирануса , and , as a result , we исключаем another dinosaur .
well , when would come to an end меловой period , we have seven dinosaurs .
and it 's a great amount .
it 's a great amount , to be a вымершими , as i trust .
now , as you can imagine yourself , this is not very popular version of четвероклассников .
четвероклассники like dinosaurs , they will remember them .
and they do n't happy from that .
thank you very much .
so chris любезен .
i have no idea how you do this , chris .
all week -- the любезность . you can walk up to him and said , `` i 'm so sorry , chris , but i put your car .
finally , i do slammed into your house .
and he сгорел .
it 's just what your wife has gone from you would you say to make the best friend . ''
and you know , that he would say , `` thank you . ''
`` thank you for information , it 's very interesting . ''
`` thank you , which gave me around of the things that i do n't a подозревал . '' thank you .
thank you for what invited us .
one of the things that you are faced with появляясь , late one week at ted , is that it 's gradually , day after a day , other выступающие covers most of what you 're going to tell you .
fusion , i had a отведено at it 10 minutes .
spectroscopy is also .
and parallel вселенные .
and so this morning i thought , `` well , so i 'll just карточный the trick . ''
and it 's also have неактуально .
and today , a day иммануила , as we 've figured it out by now , right ?
иммануил ! ? of course .
i want to end with танцем…
but now it 's going to look pretty избито .
and this is what i decided -- after иммануила -- i could think of today 's first auction ted global .
with your for permission , i 'm going to start , it is a дешифратор for enigma .
who begin with 1,000 dollars ? anybody ?
thank you . and then the bruno said , `` no , no ввязывайся in it , please .
not a ввязывайся . you do n't need the . ''
i 'm worried . when i got invited , so they 're обронили between the job done , `` 15 minutes to change the world with this scene . '' 15 minutes to change the world .
i do n't know about you guys , and i 've got 15 minutes dates back to fix the wall .
the thought about changing the world , really , truly crow .
of course , now we know that we do n't have any repairing , we 've seen some amazing things беспроводного electricity is fantastic . you know , it 's inspiring .
300 years ago , it would сожгли with a firewood for it .
and now , it 's the idea .
ok . just fantastic .
and here you знакомитесь with fantastic people who see a completely different .
yesterday , there was another one , david deutsch , he раскрыл most of what i was going to do it .
but when you think of the world in a way , it turns a trip to the starbucks into something quite different , is n't it ?
i mean , in his establishment , they 'll say , `` you want маккиато , латте or американо , or капуччино ? ''
and he would say , `` you offer i sat изменчивые things . ''
`` how can it be your coffee like this ? ''
and they 'll say , `` do you mind if i обслужу the client ? ''
and as the очаровательна was yesterday илэйн морган ?
fantastic . very good .
her lecture of water обезьяне and communications , of course , the relationship of дарвинизмом and the fact that under that all we are naked -- not a волосатые , and we swimming around a pretty good .
and you know , she said she 90 . said that the amount of time истекает .
and it 's a отчаялась to find more now generated support for incidentally .
and then i thought , `` i 'm sitting next to льюисом a drink . ''
this man swimming around the north pole , what 's the evidence you need ?
and there it is .
so here 's what ted is enabling and connections .
i was n't there a tuesday . i did n't see statements гордона brown 's about приеме at work is mmmmm , sorry .
i 'm sorry .
so sorry . no , no. .
: `` the world 's problems that are шотландских decisions . ''
my fault has to do with what gordon brown , stepping out on the stage , looking for everybody , like the person in the медвежьем suit , which is just a really thought of bear .
: `` hello , tell you what happened there in the forest ?
oh , no , no , no. . ''
`` i 'm sorry . i have only 18 minutes , to talk about saving the world , preserving the planet , global institutions .
our work on climate change , and i 've just 18 minutes , unfortunately , i ca n't tell you about all the amazing things that we 're doing to take the program on climate change in the u.k. , like , for example , the third взлётно-посадочная band , планируемая at the airport heathrow… ''
`` the greatest and the coal farm , which we 're building in king's north , and , of course , some exciting news about what it is today only on this week , the only a wind engines britain was forced to закрыться .
unfortunately , there 's no time about this utter . ''
`` the british work for шотландцев…
no. . ''
`` do christian principles , do christian value .
not a убий , not a укради , not домогайся wives neighbor . ''
`` though , to be honest , when i was living in a hotel „number 11“ , it 's not causing problems . ''
: `` yeah , yeah , yeah .
come on , gordon .
can i just say a couple of things : first , about чери -- it 's an amazing woman , my wife , she has an amazing smile .
and it reminded me that you need to take a letter . ''
`` i think people forget , is that we with гордоном always a great ладили .
ok , but never , as a „горбатой горе“ . '' and i said to him , `` you know , before i leave the office , i wrote : `` i can count on your into the next month ? '' and he said , he said , `` no , you ca n't , you can't -lrb- the -rrb- . '' what удивило me , because i never have yet to see that kind of writing `` can't . ''
another thing was able to mention the gordon to talk to the public резиденции in 2002 -- it was refers to the building , people do n't listen .
but when talking about the financial industry , and he said , `` what do you as the city of london , made for financial times , , we , as a government , we hope to do with the rest of the economy . ''
when you think about what happens with that операциями , and see what happened in the economy , you 're making a message : `` this guy , who 's doing their promises . ''
but now we into the new world . we are in a completely new world .
this is the first time , i remember , when you get emails from the bank manager of займе , you do n't know , you do it занимаешь has money or he takes the money you have .
i 'm right ?
now , this is the amazing stuff -- the internet accounts in iceland .
does anyone here have a интернет-счёт in iceland ?
why would you do ? why is on the stage , above the answer on one of these letters of nigeria , right ?
in which they ask your реквизиты .
well , you know , iceland would never have created a limitations .
yes , it does n't gave an assurance .
it has that at all ? there 's a fish , and all the .
so a prime minister went on television . he said , `` it brought us a lot пикшы . ''
what i do is i had to try and explain the meaning of something before cut out of this entire бессмыслицу .
and very , very difficult to explain the financial crisis .
fortunately , helping people like a george w. bush .
he disappoint up over dinner , right .
by talking over dinner , and he said , `` wall street напился . ''
`` and now he has a похмелье . ''
and in this , you know , there 's что-то… something 's understandable us .
and something blindingly obvious to him .
and the second is , of course , was a дональд рамсфельд , who said , `` there 's a познанное knowledge is what we know about , that know .
and also , there 's a познанное -- other than knowing what we know about , we do n't know .
and there 's a непознанное other than knowing , this is what we do n't know , you do n't know . ''
and for the first time , i heard this , as a англичанин , i thought , `` what 's the crap . ''
but then becomes clear what it is .
it 's all , like said , ben бернанке , хаотическое developing world finance , about where they do n't know -- they do n't see what they were doing .
in 2006 , the head of the american association ипотечных bankers who had said , quote , `` as we see beauty , not estimated at all сейсмических things that really excited the economy of the united states of america . ''
and this man now on top of my career .
and when the crisis , using акционерного capital lehman brothers said , `` events , the model that прогнозировали real time in 10,000 years , happening every day for three days . ''
it 's amazing . it 's a new world , which is difficult to find a rational explanation .
but we have a new hope . new person .
the first избрала frankly of the black president .
wonderful news .
not only that , it 's a левша . you 'll notice ?
you know , a lot of people i обожаемых , distinguished artists , designers , thinkers , left-handed .
last night , somebody said to me , that if you левша , you need to be able to write without blobs of ink .
and on monday , somebody was talking about metaphors .
and i thought , which is a great metaphor , is n't it ? an american president who has to write , not the spots .
do you like it ? at the opposite of , as you can see , george бушу , well , what 's the metaphor here ?
i think it 's related to the idea of water обезьяне , right ?
`` well , you know , i 'm so sorry .
it 's a righty , but i think i did here напачкал . ''
but it 's not . now he 's gone .
eight years of american history , eight minutes went like this .
`` you know , this mistake end .
i suddenly realized that this was a big mistake .
some people say that they are convinced that this is one of the greatest errors in the history of the united states .
but we 've shown that they were wrong about iraq .
they said , we between iraq and the аль-каидой was no communication .
now there 's a . ''
`` and i have a message for террористов-смертников , for the people who взорвали myself . ''
`` we find you . ''
`` we can tell , what do you do n't do that again . ''
but now he 's gone , and it 's great to see is , like , one of the worst speakers in american history , a уступает place is one of the best -- obama .
it seems that you were there at night it to win .
speaking to the crowd in chicago , he said , `` if there 's any of you who are still misses is that america is a place where there might be все… ''
i ca n't take it all , it 's a very long time , to be true .
but you see the . and now it 's a инаугурацией .
he and the judge -- спотыкаясь about each other -- wrong to understand their words and spoil things .
and george w. bush 's sitting at that time , `` хи-хи-хи-хи-хи… ''
`` not so easy ? хи-хи-хи . ''
what 's interesting is that gordon brown was talking about цицероне , who said that people be heard it and they 'd say , `` this is great . ''
but they be heard демосфена and they 'd say , `` go out on march . ''
it 's really more like this quote from the movie `` should n't be . ''
do you remember that the movie with a helen ah , and джэком николсоном , where helen ah says джеку николсону : `` what are you found in me ? ''
and jack николсон says , `` because of you , i want to be better . ''
and you want to a leader , who inspire and dropping the challenge , and makes you want to be a better citizens . right ?
but at the moment , the right цицерон .
we like , what 's an obama , but we do n't do anything for that .
he 's coming down in this country , and he says , `` we need a big денежный stimulus . ''
and all подхватывают : `` great ! '' and he уезжает , and the french with the germans , people say , `` no , no , forget about this , of course , there 's no . '' nothing happens . it 's headed to the страсбург .
he says , `` we need more сапог afghan on earth . ''
and all подхватывают : `` a lovely idea . ''
he уезжает , and people are saying , `` no , no , no , we do n't go on it .
up -- 5,000 , and no rockets . no , no , it 's not going to . ''
he 's coming down the прагу and says , `` we believe in the безъядерный world . ''
and indeed , that 's an american president can выговорить the word `` resource , '' let 's first notice it .

thank you very much .
and in that same day , north korea checks , to be able to do it , if that , обогнать china -- -- and put missile первее…

`` измени́те the world a better place , if you can .
i think it 's important . right .
and i hoped that the hillary would go to the white house , because it does n't have a home four years .
and i , you know . ''
`` and , when this endeavor , not succeed , i had to take some action . ''
here he is . in britain we have charles narrator : `` the environment is very important , all of that is that we have .
my wife constantly ссорится with me in trying to raise her fraction of the agenda . ''
or , as a выходцев in south africa , we will inspire mandela .

`` ээ , listen , mr. титчмарш . ''
`` i performed in jail for about 30 years on an island in the middle of the ocean .

very quickly : i сомневался , what i 'm going to end this talk , but yesterday that the man came up with a great quote from the japanese `` очерков about idleness '' -- which the bottom line is , it 's been something неоконченным , because it means that there 's a space for growth .
thank you very much .
hi , i 'm here to talk to you about the importance of похвалы , an and gratitude , and make sure that they were its own personal and искренними .
i started to think about it , and i noticed for me , as a child , and to making some time in the past , when i had to say thank you to somebody , wanted to похвалить , i wanted to me a похвалили for some reason , i just would often stop .
and i asked myself , why ?
i was feeling a shame , стеснение .
and i have a question , i part of that ?
and i decided to explore this .
i was lucky enough to work in rehab , so i see a lot of people who live with his addiction and die from it .
and sometimes it comes down to something very one easy , like for example , they actually something very profound there may be a loving wound is , their father died , do n't say they no словo about how he a proud of it .
but then they hear from the entire family and friends that father used to say to everybody , as he proud to them , but he never talked about it for my son .
it 's because he did n't realize that his son , you need to hear it .
and here 's my question is , why do n't we 're asking about the things that we need ?
i know one man , женатого for 25 years , that they would желал , to his wife said to him , `` thank you for what you содержишь family , and i can sit at home with my kids '' -- -- but he never would ask for a about it .
and i know the woman is in this преуспевшую .
it , once a week , part of it with my husband and says , `` i want you to поблагодарил me for all of what i 'm doing around the house , and for children . ''
and he says , `` oh , it 's so great , so it 's cool . ''
похвала needs to be a искренней , but it is to take responsibility for it .
and one of my friend , эйприл with which we дружим in kindergarten , благодарит their children for doing domestic actions .
and she said , `` why can i not them to thank , even if they 're supposed to do this . ''
so , the question is , why is it that i сопротивляюсь ?
why is it that other people repel ?
why can i say , `` i want to средне прожаренный steak , i need a sixth of the shoes , '' -- did n't say , `` can you похвалить me for this ?
and this is because , so i 'm going to give you a very important information about ourselves .
i 'm telling you where i was very weak place .
i mean , where i need your help .
and i 'm going to do with you , with their families , like what you my enemies .
because what you can do with it ?
you can i ignore .
you can злоупотребить my trust .
or you can just go up to me .
i took my bike is sort of a prototype -- i love this -- the same bike , and there are they doing something called `` регулировка колес . ''
he says , `` you know , when the отрегулируешь колёса , the bike becomes a lot better . ''
i got the same bike back , but they fixed all these little defects in the same the колесах , that i had two and a half , and my bicycle . as a new .
so what i 'm going to give you a task .
i want you to отрегулировали your wheel is : be honest about the похвалы that you want to hear .
what you want to hear ? let 's go home to my wife , let 's go and ask her that she needed .
let 's go back to my husband is that he needed ?
let 's go back and ask those questions , and then help the people around you .
it 's that simple .
but why we need to actually take care about this ?
we 're talking about the world around the world .
but how do we make a peace in the world of different cultures , different languages ?
i think it starts from a family to the family , under one крышей .
so let 's start out with our own backyard .
and i want to thank all of you in this room for what you мужья beautiful , beautiful mothers , the friends , the daughter , sons .
and maybe , no one никода not say to you , but this is what you 've done -- it 's a very , very good job .
thank you , thank you for what you here , just came and changing the world your ideas .
thank you .
about 17 years ago , i had a аллергия on air delhi .
the doctors told that bottle of your lungs , i have decreased 70 percent , and that 's a убийственно for me .
and содействии итт teri and looking at work nasa we found three simple , that plants , through which you can get a clean air , as long as you need for the sake of health in the room .
we also found out that we can reduce the supply of the building for your house in the air , and it 's not a нарушая нормативы by grade air in the rooms .
these three plants , it 's a арековая palma , сансевиерия and сциндапсус .
the botanical names in front of you .
арековая palma -- this is a plant that absorbs the co2 , and turn it into oxygen .
we had to grow them on биогумусе , in стерильных conditions , on гидропонике , and every three to four months выставлять them on the street .
and the second thing is , сансевиерия , again , is very popular plant , we call it a растением for the bedroom , because it takes co2 and oxygen at night .
the human 6-8 plants need the height of the талию .
and the third is a plant , сциндапсус , again , a very popular plant , the best grows on гидропонике .
this is a plant absorbs the формальдегид and other летучие chemicals .
these three plants are able to provide the total amount fresh air .
in fact , if you want to a закупоренной bottle , you do n't need a chance of death -- in the air свежем gone .
we tried these plants in delhi , in our own building for 20 years building , of the 4,500 square meters .
it is almost 1,200 these plants for 300 staff .
our studies have shown that the chance of 42 percent dissolved oxygen is the blood growing at one percent of the people who spent 10 hours in this building .
the government of india опубликовало study about what our building is the useful for the health of the building new delhi .
the study showed that , compared to other buildings cases раздражения eye there is less than the 52 percent , disorders дыхательных systems -- the 34 percent , головных is on the way to 24 percent , of the lung is to 12 percent , and asthma -- at nine percent .
a study published eight of september , 2008 , it is available on the website of the government of india .
our experience shows that because of these plants productivity increases incredibly -- more than 20 percent .
in addition to that , i have a 15 percent is decreasing the amount of power in a building , because the fresh air , takes less .
and we 're doing the same thing in a building of the 160,000 square meters , in which will put 60,000 plants .
what 's the matter ?
and it 's important for the environment , because the need for energy возрастёт in the next decade by 30 percent .
now , 40 percent of the world 's energy than the buildings , and in the next 15 years , 60 percent of the population of the earth is going to live in our buildings in cities with a population of more than a million people .
in addition , everything else preferred отдаётся проживанию and work in places with кондиционированным air .
`` you wish to the world has changed , are the стань that we 've done , '' said mahatma gandhi .
i thank you for your attention .
13 billion dollars in a эквиваленте испарились from the economy in the last two years .
evolved doubt about the future of capitalism .
evolved doubt about the financial system .
evolved doubt about the state надзора .
we have to think about , where we 're going .
but at the same time , we can with a certainty to talk about the verge moment in american history , the ability to take the perspective on themselves and make us in a different way of america .
i call this great затишье .
at the top of the mind is a very simple idea , which is that the consumer went from the shape of the concerns to take action .
consumers , the ones that have to 72 percent of gdp of america , started , as and banks , as and business , reduce the use of кредитов , and started in everyday life give up the неустойчивых and рискованных surgeries , which appear on their different ways .
so that was more in with , and i want to stress that the consumer is not капитулировал .
on the contrary , consumer became stronger .
in order to do that , you can look back , and look at what happened in the last for about a year and a half .
and if you do n't have a here , here marks the for чайников '' about what happened in the economy . okay ?
unemployment . high price down on the property . фондовые markets down .
разнонаправленны consumer prices .
if you were домохозяйкой and were trying to the budget , with the wisdom of what oil was 150 dollars a barrel last summer , and now somewhere between 100 , 150 dollars , you would запланировали off ? what would you buy ?
what 's the strategy in your home agriculture ?
whether it 's going to happen ? субсидирование national debt , detroit , the cost of health care , currencies . this is what issues up in front of us .
let 's look back and see what caused a crisis , because the consumers , all of us , in a normal life , in fact , they 're many of these problems .
this is what i call the `` paradox 50-20 . ''
50 years went into the level of savings rate of about 10 percent . 50 years .
you know , why there 's been so high ?
there was the second world war . do you know why savings rate was so high ?
there was nothing to buy , other than the actual money , right ?
so , what actually happened over the last 20 years , we 've gone from the level of savings rate in 10 percent of the отрицательным значениям .
we started a переедать . сверх-большие to buy a car , all the приставкой `` экстра '' -- even buy the medication of уставших legs .
all of this combined and created the factor , which is the consumer and brings us to the breakdown , with which we have today .
the average attitude debt to the income has grown from 65 percent to 300 percent in the last 15 years .
consumers are неплатежеспособными .
and this also happened with банками , and also with the federal government .
here 's a ошеломляющий graph .
it shows you платежеспособность at a time when 1919 in 2009 .
for the depth of what happened was made from here , you can point out of the fact that , in fact , if we look forward , just 're burning through the future of education and the future of our children in our homes .
if you look at this in the context of a visualization national security , you 'll see that if fold it кипу a долларовых купюр , to begin with , 360 10,000 dollars , and it 's going to be the size of the with the average person .
if you go to fold , so you can see the tremendous amount of money , who was a вложен in the system as a national security .
this is the first 315 billion .
and yet , recently i вычитал that trillion seconds equals 32 thousands of years , and if you think about it , the context and регулярность with which we talk about триллионной government supported by here , or for the other place that is , in fact , to the долговой яме , in which we put themselves .
however , consumers have changed .
they were ответственнее .
we see the rise of the level of накоплений .
the accumulation was growing in the space of 11 months from the beginning of this crisis .
we отыграли minus and are at stage 10 percent .
also , what is remarkable is that in the fourth quarter consumption fall to the lowest level in the last 62 years , a reduction in about three . seven percent .
visa отчиталась of what is now дебетовые cards are used more than credit cards .
so we 're starting to pay for the merchandise on our means that we have .
and we 're starting to behave осторожнее with what we накапливаем , and with that , in that investing .
but it 's not all .
but it was an extraordinary time for change .
we went through a highly неустойчивое position .
if you take in mind , the fact that 80 percent of americans were born after the second world war , then in principle , and it 's going to be a depression of our time .
as a result , there are some remarkable things .
i 'll give you some examples . so let 's talk about дантистах , вазэктомии , оружии and нападении sharks . okay ?
dentists отчитались about укреплении positions , it seems that people have размалывать their teeth , they show up and tell us that stress .
in addition to that , and shape of the number of people who had to change пломбы .
the number of times вазэктомии up by 48 percent , according to the institute of school at cornell .
and finally , there 's a good time , perhaps , and not 's attached to the things about the ones i 've just described to you , is that the number of нападений sharks on people 's sparse from 2003 .
does anybody know why ?
the beaches опустели . and so all in there 's lightly pigmented side .
but seriously , what 's going on , and the reason that i want to argue is a неугнетенность perspective , which lies in a tremendous opportunity for the consumer , приведшего us to the recession , take us back .
i mean , what you can do you go from бездумного consumption to обдуманному consumption . right ?
уменьшая your demand , consumers уравнивают their income and wasted , and so are capitalism and business , not to разрастанию , or to improve .
right now , and i 'll explain it .
and based on a калькуляторе потребительских taste , a патентованном instrument companies vml and the young one ; rubicam , we begin to understand what happened at the problem with a потребительским market .
you can find a couple of really interesting things .
let 's go to the four of change in the values , отражающих new consumer behaviors , and предлагающих new principles of governance .
the first shift in values and you can see the tendency toward a so-called , flexible life .
it 's moving from the americans , оценивающих their успешность on how many things in owned by the needs of the flexibility , because the излишеств less than you are , the more dynamic and light on the rise of the you step .
as a result , there was actually внеклассовое consumption .
and the idea внеклассового consumption is that тратя money mindlessly , you start to look a little bit of not much cooler .
money is the main factor in management .
let 's look at some of the examples внеклассового consumption , the выпадающие of myself values .
first of all , it 's going to happen , because the p дидди поклялся become less glamorous because god .
and if you 're serious , so you can now look at the phenomenon of one медисон avenue , and in other places , where people прогуливаются on a роскошным бутикам with the standard , nothing примечательными `` paper plastic bags , to hide expensive purchases .
people started a торговаться in бутиках .
торговаться began when you buy of luxury and real estate .
we 're seeing relaxation ego , a reduction in part роскошных things .
and here is the story of яхт-клуба , almost all of the people who are `` blue it . ''
яхт-клуб for `` blue воротничков o , and in order to be in it , you need to work on a лодочном backyard , it 's a kind of a condition for членства .
there is also the trend in tourism , it becomes more сдержанным . right ?
агротуризм , the duration of the виноградники and farms .
in that you can see the attempt to get away from the monetary relationships .
what do business can do to consistent with the new установкам consciousness is really interesting .
some really standing things .
for example , a company frito-lay found one thing about variability their users .
they saw their consumers are really powerful more money at the beginning of the month , and at the end of a smaller . and they started to change the packaging goods .
a sandwich in начеле months , in a smaller at the end of the month .
and the exciting things like this moment san francisco giants .
they 've introduced a mechanism динамических prices .
take account of steel everything from побед athletic and weather to a расписания матчей , and bringing price for customers .
another quick example of these things -- this is the emergence of zynga .
zynga came as a reflection of the customers do n't be a связанными фиксированными the prices .
and меняющаяся the price of a reflection меняющейся life .
микроплатежей became a tremendous amount .
and , finally , some people are using hulu as a way to reduce the payments for cable tv .
so , really smart ideas , like these , started to bring a service , and it 's been understood marketers .
and the second one out of four values -- this is the pursuit of этичности and an honest game .
and the game is fills a good отношением and respect .
this is the consumer demands .
and the result is now business has got to not just value , but a set of values .
all the more consumer look very much at the culture of the company , the behavior of the company in the market .
so , what with empathy and respect , is a really обнадеживающих things out there on the lights out of this recession .
i 'll give you some examples .
the first is разрастание communities and neighbors ' relationships , and which is выраженность your neighbors as your relying and support .
also , a beautiful byproduct seems to be a horrible things like unemployment is increasing in the number of volunteers , замеченное in our country .
another наблюдаемый phenomenon -- some of you might be `` возвратившиеся kids '' -- now , `` возвратившиеся graduates '' : universities возобновили connected with выпускниками and help them with his work , an opportunity to share skills and переподготовкой .
we also talked about character and профессионализме .
this wonderful приводнение aircraft on the surface of the hudson river in new york city , in january of this year , and all of a sudden sally clark was the most popular name for the at birth .
so , in terms of values and values , companies can organize networks to communicate in different ways .
microsoft does something spectacular .
they are able to it . провозгласили education for two million americans , using the web as infrastructure for something good .
also think about the experience of companies gore-tex .
gore-tex killed a персональными зарплатами of management and employees , and that 's what they basically refused to the idea of having a боссов .
and they say , that , in fact , all of their spending , all of them a management of a cost , have been put on the inside the corporate site , so everybody could see it .
so , complete transparency .
so think twice before you get a bottle of wine .
the third of four values пост-кризисного consumption requires a long-term perspective in terms of life .
so our data , you can see what consumers actually realized that life is a marathon , not спринт .
they копают deeper than that . and seek out of the way increasing the value of every buying a mistake .
in a testament you can use the fact that americans are leading sharing longer than ever before , nine , four years on average . this is the record .
we also see that library became popular in america .
you know , that 68 percent of americans now have a библиотечную card ?
it 's the highest result in the history of nations .
and in this тренде , you can see the pursuit of накоплению knowledge .
all the larger number of people learns continuously .
all сфокусировано on improving , for development , and moving forward .
is a movement `` do myself . ''
i was a воодушевлен , when i learned that 30 percent of all the houses in america are actually built their people in .
it 's basically коттеджи and things like that . but it builds takes 30 percent .
people are an afraid запачкать hands . people закатывают it .
they need these skills .
if you look at the хай-лайн in new york city , we 're going to see a nice example переосмысления existing infrastructure , under the good stuff , which is a whole new park in new york city .
so , brands and and companies can afford дивиденды consumers , to be a долгоиграющими брендами , offering transparency and promise to be in the line , and then today in распродажи .
that 's a great example of this is patagonia .
the company patagonia's footprint chronicles shows the path of each of them a product , gives you a sense of social responsibility and understand the этическую side of it produced products .
another example is a gorgeous fidelity .
instead of just a return rate of rewards in кредитным or дебетовым покупкам , they offer 529 of rewards undergraduate вузов .
another interesting company sunrun .
i love this company . they 've created a community consumers , people put solar panels on their homes and make up to the very потребительскую value , because генерируемое electricity in the part comes back into the market .
so , this community , управляемое consumers .
the value of пост-кризисного consumption is the tendency return to the public .
now it 's incredibly important .
as we know , trust can not be поделено apart .
now comes the integration of communities , the integration of social networks .
in my book , i put up a fact that 72 percent of the people trust the on what other people would say about бренде or company , the ads are trust the only 15 percent .
now , here 's the thing , which has a collaborative consumption was проигнорировано .
this is the consumer , working together on trying to get up on the market , what they want .
let 's look at a couple of examples here .
grows кустарное production .
and also , all in terms of the products and services local producers , supporting local communities , whether it 's a cheese wine , or other products .
also grow local currency .
make sure you leave knowing you in the current situation difficult to get a loan , you 're going to have to do business with people who trust in your local markets .
so , the growth of local currencies is very interesting феноменом .
more recently , i got a report , which led me to the excited about .
a couple of communities in the united states recently began to include the data about using the people of electricity .
and they found that when these data are public , in those societies rate did come down the amount of electricity .
now let 's take a look at the idea of the people together to buy the meat , заключающейся is that consumers are put together together to buy the meat with organic produce farm , that they think the are safe and контролируются as people would want them to контролировались .
another interesting pattern here you can see here in california -- it 's каррот-моб .
traditionally , we 're used to бойкотам , right ?
you have the help ? well why would n't be part of каррот-моба .
and now let 's take a look at what companies can do .
there 's an opportunity to be организующей by the community .
you have to bear in mind , that you ca n't deal with someone , or trying to control .
you just get organized .
you have to use it . you have to give it a meaning .
you can see lots and lots of interesting examples of how it works .
as the first examples , you can give you the recent the fact that the zagat 's not worth on the ground and by rating restaurants рейтингам диверсифицировался from the health care system .
what are the conditions for letting zagat do this ?
in fact , a lot of them -- because they are a network of people . right ?
now if we look at the phenomenon of kogi .
this is not just a restaurant . it 's a перемещающийся truck . right ?
they travel around the лос-анжелесу . and the only way to find them -- this is from twitter .
and if you look at the momversations from johnson more one ; johnson .
there was actually created a феноменальный blog .
and it 's a j more one ; the j gets to support from of bloggers , mama , allowing them to create forums , in which you can be able to communicate and organize networks to connect .
but it was also very , very efficient рекламной company to j more one ; j .
all of this суммируется with a феноменальной job of leadership from the ford to zappos , using twitter , making an open environment , can become part of the company процесса- instead of being a спрятанными over the walls of the city .
you can see нарастающую power in total transparency and transparency , to which started pointing companies . it 's because the consumers are there .
so , if you take a step back , to see it as a whole , which i 'm sure what exists today crisis is an absolute reality .
he was by consumers .
but at the same time , it opens up a huge opportunity .
and the chinese character for the crisis on the side of the same coin .
the crisis of possibilities .
what 's going on with consumers , in fact , there 's an opportunity for them to take us from the recession .
we believe that ценностно-ориентированные spending will do better capitalism .
they make for innovation .
they have to produce products with a lot сроком life . they 're making a better , more visceral service for the audience .
they are us the opportunity to connect with companies , разделяющими the same values , what we 're .
and when we look back and go from that , when we 're going to see the beginning of these trends that we have in our data , we 're going to see a any encouraging ahead of america .
thank you very much .
narrator : i am .
and that 's what i 'm is telling stories , i write novels . today i 'd like to tell you some stories about art telling stories , and it 's also about some of the сказочных species , which зовутся джинами .
but before i do that , let me share with you my personal story .
in that will help me , of course , the words , and also the geometric figure is a circle . and over the course of my story , we would meet some circles .
i was born in страсбурге , in france , have турецких parents .
and my parents did , and i moved in turkey with my mother .
since then , i grew up as a single child матери-одиночки .
in the early 70е in the анкаре was it a little bit unusual .
in the neighborhood lead a large families , where the fathers were always the in the house . i was seeing my mother is a разведенную woman -- in a патриархальной environment .
in fact , i was raised by looking for two different types of women .
on the one hand was my mother 's well-educated , светская , modern , прозападная турецкая woman .
on the other hand was my grandmother , which is also took care of me -- more spiritual , образованная less and less , obviously , рациональная .
here was a woman who гадала on the кофейной thick , to see the future and плавила lead to загадочные forms , to protect the сглаза .
my grandmother посещало a lot of people with a horrific высыпаниями on his face or бородавками on our hands .
every time the grandmother произносила some words in arabic , had taken red apple and пронзала his шипами роз , in a number of things , равном number of the бородавок that she wanted to remove .
after that , in each other 's обводила these шипы темными чернилами .
a week later , the patient came to actually looking .
i know that 's not supposed to talk about it in front of an audience scientists and scientific employees , but frankly , of all the people who come to my grandmother with all of the skin , i do n't have any number of people who came to недовольным or неизлеченным .
i would say , as it does it . it was whether it 's praying ?
and she 'd say , `` yeah , that 's effective , but also need to be circles forces . ''
and in many other things , from it , i got a very valuable lesson . if you want to kill something , for example , прыщ порок or the human soul , all you have to do is окружить their fat walls of the city .
and they иссохнут on the inside .
now we all live in a social and cultural round , .
we 're born into a family , определнной nations , the classroom .
but if we do n't have contacts with other worlds , in addition to that , and it 's given us the default , then there 's the risk of высохнуть on the inside .
our imagination can ослабеть . heart -- уменьшиться . and our common humanity is a поблекнуть , if too long within reach of our cultural коконов .
our friends , neighbors , friends , family , if all the people in our environment походят on us -- what i mean by that is that we are surrounded with their зеркальными отражениями .
another thing that makes women like my grandmother in turkey is put a mirror бархатом or are they face the wall .
that 's the eastern tradition . it is the fact that people do n't have to spend too much time to look at your reflection .
so , ironically , that lives in societies are equally intelligent is one of the largest опасностей глобализированного situation in the world .
and that 's going on everywhere , among liberals and conservatives , агностиков and верующих , rich and poor , east and west .
we have a tendency to form of based on схожести , and then people 's stereotypes about other groups .
in my view , cross the limits of these cultural ghettos through art , you can tell stories .
history is not разрушат borders , but they can holes in the walls of our consciousness .
and through those holes , we 'll be able to see мельком another world , and sometimes we can will like , what we 're going to see .
i started writing , when i was eight .
and one day , my mother came home with a бирюзовой тетрадью and said , i do n't want to have a personal journal .
now i think she did a little nervous about my психическом health .
i always did tell stories at home , which was good , but i did tell them with their imagining fully friends , which was not very nice .
i was ребенком-интровертом , to the point that spoke to the with crayon illustrations of color and извинялась in front of things , if i натыкалась on them . she thought i go on to write the daily experiences and emotions .
she did n't know what i believed in their lives is a really boring and the last thing i wanted to do is write about myself .
instead , i started to write about other people and things that would never happen .
so writing became the passion of my life .
at the very beginning of literature , was n't the for me обнародованием memoirs , and the extraordinary journey to the rest of your life and opportunity .
okay , отнеситесь me to understand . i 'm a circle and go back to this point .
around the same time , there was a big .
my mom was a diplomat .
and from that little , суеверного , the average environment around my grandmother , i was a втянута in this шикарную , an international school , where i was the only турчанкой .
here , i had the first way , which i call `` a typical иностранец . ''
we 're in a classroom children were all races . however , diversity , not necessarily lead to the free from предрассудков , there for democracy in the classroom .
instead , it 's created the atmosphere , where every child принимался , not as a kind of identity is itself , but as a proxy of something larger .
and we were like miniature are nations , it was funny , except of the times when something happened increases , novel about one of the or religion .
the child , who was their representing that had been насмешкам , осмеянию and a запугиванию .
i know what i say , because it was at that time , there was a revolution in my country , a terrorist my nationality just do n't kill my dad and turkey has got a zero on еровидении .
then i often missed school and wanted to be a моряком
here , for the first time , i realized the taste of cultural thinking .
the children would ask me about the movie `` полуночный express , '' which i had never seen before . they kept asking , how many cigarette in the day , i выкуриваю , because people thought that all турки -- заядлые курильщики . and been trying , at the age of what i 'm going to start to cover the head .
i heard about my country , there are three main man box , a politician , cigarettes , and with the name of burqa .
after spain , we have moved in жордан , in germany , and again in анкару .
everywhere i had the sense that my imagination is the only baggage , which i can take with you .
you give me a story support structure , the continuity and логичность , something that i always miss .
when i was a twenties , i went to стамбул , city , which i восхищалась .
i was living in a living , многообразном neighborhood where i wrote some of my novels .
when i выбежала of buildings at three o'clock in the morning , my way through something преградило .
it was a local бакалейщик -- сварливый , an old man , which does n't sell them alcohol and have a conversation with маргиналами .
he was sitting next to the трансвестита with long black париком and тушью , стекавшей on her щекам .
i 've seen as a man opened him a cigarette трясущимися hands and one proposed to her . this is a picture of me from the left in the middle of the night -- консервативный бакалейщик and плачущий трансвестит , курящие together on the side of the street .
in the face of death and destruction of our earth differences evaporate , and we 're all едины , even though for a few hours .
but i 've always believed that history under a effect on us .
i 'm not suggesting that the power of сопоставима with the power of the earthquake . but when we read a novel , we are leaving our little , уютные apartment in the back , go back alone in the night and a better understanding of people , which has never met before , and maybe even предвзято them do .
shortly after , i went to the female college in boston , then in michigan .
it was n't just change from there right now , but change language .
i started writing in english .
i do n't a эммигрант , or a refugee ссыльный . i would ask , why am i doing that . but the переключение between languages gives me the opportunity to взбодриться .
i love writing in turkish , which i think is very поэтичным and emotional . and i love writing in english , which is very delicate and intelligent .
and everybody 's like , i feel different attachment .
for me , as a million of other people around the world , english is the second language .
and when you start learning the language of late , do you live with him with repeat the sense of frustration .
we also want to say anymore , отмочить jokes посмешнее , to say something more interesting . but in the end , we are talking smaller , because there 's a gap between the mind and the language .
and this gap is very устрашает .
but if we 're going to learn not пугаться him , and he also may be getting us .
that 's what i 've learned in boston -- frustration can promote .
in this period , my grandmother , which watched my life with a возрастающим беспокойством , started a pray for this to me more quickly get married and остепенилась times and forever .
and because god loves her , i really got married .
but instead , to buckle down , i moved in arizona .
and because my husband was in istanbul , i started a метаться between аризоной and стамбулом -- the two places on earth , that would be more different .
i think that part of me has always been кочевником physically and spiritually .
the stories they me , connecting my work and memories , as a экзистенциальный glue .
how would i had no history , recently , i began to think that they lose their magic , when something far more to the story .
i just wanted to together , we were thinking about it .
when my first book in english stepped in america , i had an interesting comment of литературного criticism .
`` i liked your book , '' he said , `` but i wish you put it in a different way . ''
and i said , what they mean .
he said , `` look , there are so many испанских , american , latino characters , but only one турок and the man . ''
the action , the book was going on in the boston area on a university campus , and so for me , there was no wonder that there was more разнонациональных characters , the турков . but i realized that i 've been looking for my critic .
and i realized that i 'm going to continue разочаровывать him .
he wanted to see a my personality .
he was looking for a book турецкую woman , because i am a her .
we often talk about the history of changing the world , but we also need to see how the world of the politics of individuals affects the way in the history of this , читаются and рецензируются .
a lot of writers sense this pressure , but не-западные -- the sense of his harder .
if you a женщина-писатель of the muslim world , as i , from you 're waiting , what are you going to write the stories about a muslim women , and , hopefully , несчастливые history miserable muslim women .
wait , what are you going to write a информативные , пронзительные and : those stories and оставишь experiments and авангард western colleagues .
one of the things that i felt at a kid in the school in madrid , the литературном happens in the world today .
all of us are waiting to something very specific , if not специфического .
the writer , james болдуин gave an interview in 1984 , in which it several times asked about his homosexuality .
when the interviewer tried to stick it on a label писателя-гея , the болдуин paused and said , `` do n't you see ? in me no big deal , we would n't be others and others , there 's nothing that are n't in me . ''
when a politician , trying to навесить on us ярлыки , danger are our freedom and imagination .
there 's a смутная category , which is called мультикультурной literature , in which all authors outside of the western world get mixed together .
i never will forget its first мультикультурные reading at a harvard street ten years ago .
we had three writer , the one with the philippines , one of the turkey , and one of the indonesia , . прям as a анекдоте .
we brought together , not because we had a similar art , or литературным so on ,
and just for our documents .
from мультикультурных authors have always are not a выдуманных ; it 's a real stories .
function , приписываемая literature .
in this case , not only writers , but and their characters are a sample of something larger .
i 'm also going to point out that this tendency to see in the history of something larger comes , not just from the west .
it comes over the tree of life .
i learned that at a personal experiences , when i went to the court in 2005 in the words of my выдуманного character , произнесенные in novel .
i want to write a созидательный , многослойный novel about армянской and турецкой family in terms of women .
it 's that little story првевратилась in big , there 's a scandal , when i предъявили судебный complaint .
somebody me a критиковал , somebody хвалил , for what i wrote about турецко-армянском конфликте .
but sometimes i wanted to remind both sides of the conflict , that it was a fiction .
just a story .
and when i say , `` just a story , '' i 'm not trying to none умалить his job .
i want to love and his literature credit for what it is , but not for what it is the means .
writers express their opinions about politics and there 's a lot of beautiful novels of politics , however , is not the language of everyday language politics .
чехов said , `` the solution to the problem and good design problems are two very different things .
and the last thing is the only goal of a writer . ''
politics is the individual . we divide the literature together .
some people interested in общностях ,
somebody in нюансах .
someone 's borders .
it 's not the other .
the thing is made up of solid bricks .
literature -- this is flowing water .
at the time of the оттоманской empire existed the рассказчики-кочевники , which звались '' меддах . ''
they went around the кофейням and tell stories in front of an audience , often импровизируя .
with every new действующим face in history , меддах changes voice пародируя character .
it could come in and listen to the people , even султан , muslims and not muslims .
the history of any cross borders . like , for example , '' history ходжи насреддина , '' and they were very aware of the average east , north africa , балканам and asia .
today 's history , go to transcend borders .
when talking the palestinian and the israeli government , they usually do n't listen to each other . but the palestinian story appears to be read a novel jew writer and vice versa , соединяясь and сочувствуя author .
literature , there should возносить us on those .
if she could n't do it , so it 's not too good literature .
books have saved застенчивого ребенка-интроверта , which i used to be .
but i 'm also very well know about опаности them идеализации .
when the poet and мистик rumi met a spiritual компаньона шамса табризи , the first thing that has made the final -- emitted books rumi in the water , and watching the way the fall out .
суфисты says , `` the knowledge that 's up above your self , much worse ignorance . ''
the problem with your cultural ghettos is not a lack of knowledge . we know a lot of each other , or at least , so we count . but the knowledge that we do n't возвышает on themselves just that makes us разрозненными and отстраненными .
there 's the metaphor that i love so much , to live , as компас .
as you know , one стрелка compass needle is static and lies in one place .
the same стрелка describes the circle , constantly moving at all .
and the same thing happens with my произведениями .
one of the вросла its roots in стамбул and has the highest турецкие roots . whereas the other part is traveling around the globe in contact with other cultures .
in that sense , i like to think of my writing , how about the local and universal at the same time , thus over the tree of life .
those of you who was in istanbul you may have seen the palace топкапи , which is more than 400 years являлся резиденцией оттоманских султанов .
in this дворце , the right behind the комнатами наложниц , there is a focus джинов .
it 's between the buildings .
i заинтриговала concept .
it 's usually do n't trust the places that are between a ridiculous .
we think they владением supernatural creatures , such as a джины , who are made up of бездымного fire and are symbols of неуловимости .
i mean , what неуловимое space is that most need authors and artists .
when i write , i really неуловимость and variability .
i love does n't know what 's going to happen in 10 pages .
i like when my characters me удивляют .
i can write about a мусульманской woman in a novel , and maybe it 's going to be a good story . and in the next book , i might write about a nice профессоре-гее from norway .
we can write about it , if it comes from our сердец .
одри lord once said , `` the white fathers were taught us to say , `` i think , therefore i am . ' '' and she said , `` i feel , so i свободна . ''
i mean , it was a beautiful change paradigms .
and yet , why on in изобретательного letters , number one , what we teach students -- it 's write something , and what do you know ?
maybe it 's not the right now the beginning .
we need to educate the young people and themselves to unveil our hearts and writing about what we experience .
we have to get out of our cultural ghettos and start to travel .
in the end , the history of the work like a кочевники drawing of a circle .
they connect all of humanity , in spite of politics personalities . and that 's the good news .
and i 'd like to conclude by the old стихом суфи . '' приди , let us be friends ; let us to push back the life ; let us be a любовниками and be lovers ; you would n't have to go to . ''
thank you .
we live in a heavy economic times .
and one of the first victims heavy economic times , i think , are out of public expenditure , but , of course , at the moment , the most a vulnerable position is the science budget at all , and research science and developments in particular .
so , i 'm going to try to convince you of about 15 minutes that 's абсурдная and actually very perverse .
but first , i think , is to establish the декорации '' for my действа . i want to show you -- the next slide is not an attempt to show the worst slide in the history of ted , but there 's a little bit is complicated .
but that 's not my fault . this is a plot of the guardian newspaper . ''
and , in fact , it 's a beautiful demonstration of how much it costs science .
so what i 'm trying to convince all that we should continue to highlight the money to explore and research science , i should tell you how much does it cost .
so , a game called `` match me as a scientific budget . ''
this is a general of the united kingdom .
a budget is -- if you look up here , on the left there , there are a bunch purple peanuts , and the next to them , a жёлтых peanuts .
and this is one of these little жёлтых peanuts , right next to the big yellow blob .
it 's like three -- three billion of 620 billion pounds a year .
this is the budget of all science in the u.k.
including medical research , space exploration , , particle physics , engineering , and even social and humanitarian science , is by all of the science budget , those are the three -- three billion , the little yellow ball , just up the road from оранжевого marbles inside on one side of the screen .
this is a piece of our conversation .
this one percent of earners , by the way , about одинаков in the united states , germany and france .
all the research and конструкторская work , финансируемая by the government , which is about zero . six percent of gdp .
that 's what we 're talking .
the first thing i 'd like to say , and it 's the `` wonders of the solar system , '' is that our solar system and the universe studies have shown us , how they неописуемо look beautiful .
this picture was taken by the cassini space probe the orbit of saturn , already after that съёмок `` wonders of the solar system . ''
so it 's not walked into the .
this is a picture of saturn moon enceladus .
we have a huge white sphere in the corner -- it 's saturn , which is the background of the image .
and this is a полумесяц enceladus , which in size , pretty much like the british island .
about 500 kilometers .
the tiny moon .
but what завораживающе beautifully .
the thing is , you can see on the лимбе , which is призрачные jets smoke , moving up with лимба .
this is how we introduced this process in `` the solar system . ''
a beautiful picture .
and what we found is that these jets призрачные are фонтанами ice поднимающимися on the surface of this tiny moon .
and it 's pretty amazing by itself , but we think this machine running these фонтаны in motion it involves liquid water under the surface of the moon .
and that 's very important is , this is what 's on our planet , on earth , wherever we find some liquid water , we find life .
so anyway , ingenious evidence that there is a lakes of liquid underneath the surface of the planet within a billion 200 million miles away from the earth ошеломляет .
what do i mean by that is that it 's good for life .
well , it was just a ct representation , better than i 'll show you a picture .
here 's another picture of enceladus .
by , when the cassini flew under enceladus .
he made a very intimate path , just a few hundred miles above the surface .
and this is , again , a picture of ice фонтанов , поднимающихся in space , a very beautiful .
but that 's not the first candidate for the presence of life in the solar system .
it 's likely that area , europe , which is the moon around jupiter .
we had to go to the юпитеру to figure out what the moon is not just a dead stone , like most of the moons .
in fact , it 's a ледяная moon .
so what you see here is the surface of the moon in europe , fat layer of ice , in a hundred kilometers thick .
but with the extra dimensions of how europe interacting with apply a magnetic pulse of jupiter , and watching the cracks in the ice , which you can see in this image , we really have felt underneath the surface of europa there 's an ocean of liquid .
under the ice , there 's an ocean of liquid , покрывающий this moon at all .
we tend to think of water in it a солёная , and what that means is , on the moon around the jupiter more water , than in all the oceans , the combined .
and this place , this little on the moon around the jupiter , probably the first candidate for the presence of life on the moon or the body outside the earth , which we know .
an enormous and producing discovery .
our research in our solar system was taught us that the solar system is beautiful .
it may be that will allow us to respond to one of the most profound questions that you can ask , `` are we alone ? ''
is there any other applications research and science , other than the sense of wonder ?
yes , they have .
this is a very famous picture taken by , in fact , during my first рождественского сочельника , 24 , on december 1968 , when i was about eight months old .
it was taken аполлоном eight , when he flew on the other side of the moon .
of the earth , visible with аполлона eight .
a famous picture ; and a lot of people say , well , this is a picture of a year спасшая 1968 , which was quite worrying -- when i was a student churning in paris , the vietnam war .
and the reason is that people are thinking about this picture , like al gore that has spoken from the stage of ted , this photograph , probably , just the beginning of the movement for the environment .
because for the first time , we saw our world , not as a прочное , недвижимое and неразрушимое place , but as a quick , very хрупкий world , which is a черноте of space .
one of the things that 's me mention about exploring space program and the аполлон , '' which is the amount of you , derived from that .
i mean , they can all debate about what it was a great achievement , and what are the pictures came back as a result , but it takes a long , right ?
in fact , a lot of scientific research was written about the economic efficiency and economic impact programs `` аполлон . ''
the most much work was written by a company in 1975 , `` chase econometrics . ''
and she pointed out that for every one dollar spent by the program 14 dollars вернулось back into the u.s. economy .
so the program , аполлон '' самоокупилась , in вдохновении , in engineering achievements , and in вдохновении new scientists and engineers around четырнадцатикратно .
research could самоокупаться .
and at the expense scientific discovery ?
and at the expense of innovation ?
in this picture , i think it 's nothing .
in fact , it shows the range of hydrogen .
see , before the 1880-х and 1890-х many scientists and possibilities like to look at the light , излучаемый atoms .
and they have these very strange pictures here .
what you see , when the пропускаете in terms of light , испускаемый нагретым hydrogen , it 's not just lights up a white light , and it emits a specific color : red , светло-голубой , and a little bit тёмно-голубых .
this led to the atomic structures , it is that this is a атоме has the nucleus with электронами around .
and the electrons can be just a specific places .
when they перепрыгивают from place to place and back , they of light exact colors .
and the fact that the atoms in the нагревании of very specific colors , was the primary driver , which led to the development of quantum theory , the theory of the structure of atoms .
i just want to show this picture , because it deserves attention .
it 's a spectrum излучаемый from the sun .
this is a photograph of all the atoms in the atmosphere of the sun , поглощающие light .
опять-же , they suck up the lights are different colors , when the electrons bounce up and down , up and down .
and let 's look at some of those black in the spectrum of the ads .
so this is a helium , which was discovered just one of the light from the sun , because some of those black lanes sync with no one element , which known .
that 's why helium 's filled up with helium .
the greek `` гелиос '' -- the sun .
now , that sounds эзотерично , and , indeed , it was the esoteric search , but quantum theory quickly led to the idea of electrons in terms of materials , such as the silicon , for example .
and because the silicon has properties , we can actually do transistors , it 's purely quantum phenomenon .
and without that kind of science , движимой любопытством , understanding the fabric of an atom , which led to a эзотерической quantum theory and quantum mechanics , we would not be able to get transistors and so on кремниевые chips , and we would have not been базиса modern economy .
here 's another great , i think , поворот in this story .
in `` the solar system , '' we all the time подчёркивали the fact that the laws of physics have a universal signal .
one of the most amazing thing about the physics of knowledge and understanding of nature , which we get on earth is something that we can make them not only the level of the planets , but also the level of distant stars and galaxies .
the overwhelming predictions made out of quantum mechanics after observing строением atoms , the same theory , объясняющей transistors -- about this is that no one star in the universe , the достигшая of the end of my life , not more than sizes , in particular , 1.4 times the mass of the sun .
that 's it , mounted on a ton of stars .
you can make all the calculations into the lab on pieces of paper , to take the telescope , нацелить him in the sky , and you wo n't find any single dead stars , more than about полторы the mass of the sun .
that is to say , it 's a wonderful prediction .
so what 's going on with a star , based on the edge of the mass ?
this is what happens .
this is an image of galaxies , the ordinary galaxies , a содержащей like a hundred billion stars like our sun on .
this is one of the всего-лишь billion galaxies in the universe .
in the center of the galaxy , about a billion stars . that 's why it 's so bright lights up .
this galaxy удалена by about 50 million light years , the galaxy in the neighborhood .
but there is a bright star is one of the stars in the galaxy .
this is a star удалена for 50 million light years .
it 's part of the galaxy , and she bright lights up as well as the center of the galaxy with a billion stars in there .
it 's a kind of a supernova nearby 1a .
amazing phenomenon , because it 's a сдвоенная star .
it 's called кислородно-углеродный карлик .
she 's sitting there , let 's say one , three times the mass of the sun .
and it 's got компаньон , which goes around him , a big star , a massive gas balloon .
and that makes a star -- she перекачивает gas with my звезды-компаньона , until it gets to a similar limit чандрасекара , and then she взрывается .
it взрывается and shining as well as bright , and a billion stars , for two weeks , and gives off the universe is not only energy , but an enormous amount of chemicals .
but there was no carbon and oxygen at the big bang .
and the carbon and oxygen in the universe were n't during the first generation of stars .
and the carbon and oxygen were made in the same stars , запертые inside , and after возвращённые in a universe with such that 's explosions , and then the сгуститься in the planets , stars and new solar systems and , finally , in these people like us .
i think there 's a demo , the power of beauty and the universality of laws of physics , because we understand that process because of the fabric of atoms here on earth .
it 's найденная me a wonderful quote alexander 's флеминга , where he talks about интуитивном discovery , `` when i woke up just a little bit засветло 28 september 1928 , i 'm not going to turn the medical care , having discovered the world antibiotic . ''
researchers around the world atom that did n't intend to invent a transistor .
and they 're certainly not going to go to describe mechanics supernovae explosions , which in turn led us to the нахождению of anywhere in the universe was created by building the material of life .
and also , i think , then we can pick up the deepest ideas about our place in the universe , and about the value of our home planet .
this is a picture of our planet dramatic with you .
well , it does n't look like a picture of our planet .
it 's more like this picture of saturn , because that 's all it is .
it was taken by зондом cassini .
but this is famous for not because of beauty and the brilliance of saturn 's rings , and because of that little barely заметного пятнышка , висящего under one of the rings .
and if i увеличу image -- you can see it as well .
it looks like the moon , but in fact , this is a picture of the earth .
this is a picture of the earth in relation to each of saturn .
this is the view on our planet from a distance in one 1.2 billion miles away .
and i think that the earth is a strange property -- as you go from it , we are , the красивее she looks like .
but that 's not the most удалённая or a famous picture of our planet .
it was taken there 's this thing called a spacecraft , `` вояджер . ''
and this is a picture of me in front of it , so you can imagine the scale .
`` вояджер '' -- very small machine .
now he удалён from the earth by about 16 billion miles away , передавая signal using this plates and energy in 20 watts , and we still connected .
he went to jupiter , saturn , уран and нептун
and after the вояджер '' to all of those planets , carl sagan , one of my great heroes , i gave a great idea -- `` spin вояджер '' and take a picture of every planet that he received a visit .
and he took this picture of earth .
it 's very , very hard to see the earth . so . it 's called `` бледно-голубая dot . '' the earth подвешена in that red столбе light .
this is the earth , from a distance in six , four billion miles away .
and in closing , i 'm going to read you what sagan wrote about it , because i could n't find the words красивее to describe saw in that picture .
he said , `` see again , at this point .
this is here . this is our home . this is us .
all of our happiness and suffering , thousands of самоуверенных religions , идеологий and economic доктрин , each individual and собиратель , every hero , and трус , every созидатель and разрушитель civilizations , king of each and every one влюблённая крестьянин , a young couple , every mother and father , every did hope for every child , every and the inventor of the путешественник spiritual , every teacher , every politician продажный every `` superstar , every `` the supreme leader , every saint and грешник in the history of our species can live here -- in this пылинке , зависшей in the headlights sunlight .
i mean , somebody said that astronomy прививает humility and воспитывает character .
now , there is no better evidence of the stupidity of human тщеславия than this далёкий vision of our little around the world .
for me , it подчёркивает our obligation to be we 're kinder with each other , беречь and лелеять бледно-голубую point , which is the only home we 've ever known . ''
these words about the power of science and exploration .
and a lot of people often going and will take the strong , what do we know enough about the universe .
you could take this thing why 1920-х , and you did n't have to be penicillin .
you can do it in 1890-х , and you 're not would be a transistor .
and today , in his cause these heavy economic times .
`` of course we know enough .
we do n't need to discover anything new of our universe . ''
let me leave the last word for those who recently is getting my hero , хамфри davey , which was doing science at the end of the 19th century .
he 's had been нападкам in those days .
we know enough , at the end of the 19th century .
just use this knowledge , just make things .
he said this : `` nothing is more фатальным for of the human mind , the idea that we think about science окончательны that our триумфы behind that there is no longer mysteries of nature and what 's more , there 's no place for a new piece that will open . ''
thank you .
so , imagine you 're standing on a street from elsewhere in africa , and to you японец comes up and said , `` i 'm sorry , as it 's called the neighborhood ? ''
and you say , `` i 'm sorry , it 's a дубовая of the street , and it 's вязовая .
it 's 26-ая , and it 's 27-ая . ''
he says , `` ok , but what 's called the neighborhood ? ''
you say , `` well , does not blocks have names .
there 's the names of the streets , and the side is just nameless space between the streets . ''
and he goes , a little bit of a замешательстве and расстройстве .
now imagine you 're standing on a street in japan , and treat right next to the person , and you say , `` excuse me , what 's called the street ? ''
you say , `` hmm , well , it 's a 17-ый block , and it 's 16 . ''
you can say , i learned , but what 's called this street ? ''
and you hear the answer : `` well , there 's no streets names .
there 's a blocks have names .
they had all have names . and the streets -- it 's just nameless space between кварталами .
and then you 're like , `` okay , so how do you then is the error of a home address ? ''
he says , `` easy , here 's the eighth neighborhood .
it 's a 17-ый quarter , is a house number one . ''
you say , `` okay . but when i прогуливался here , i noticed that the number of houses are not in order . ''
and he said , `` well , of course , not in order . they go in the order that were built .
the house that was built in the neighborhood in the first -- this is the first house .
the second one was built a house , number two .
the third one is a house number three . it 's easy . obviously . ''
i love that sometimes we need to be on the other side of the world , to discover their own допущения , about the existence of whom have themselves , we did n't know , and realize that the opposite direction , it may also be true .
so , for example , in china , there are doctors who believe in what their job is to you were здороы .

and so for me , a mesh company , the `` classic '' mesh company , brings together these three things : our ability to connect to each other -- most of us are walking around with these mobile devices that are gps-enabled and web-enabled -- allows us to find each other and find things in time and space .
we have experiences in our lives , certainly , when sharing has been irresistible .
there was none in place -- no tourist agent , no ngos , nothing -- no eyewitnesses .

and it was time for us to go in and give it a go .
we all went quite nuts , i will say .
lewis thomas was a physician-writer , one of my favorite writers .
and we had a mix of dumb stuff on there -- making sure an antibiotic is given in the right time frame because that cuts the infection rate by half -- and then interesting stuff , because you ca n't make a recipe for something as complicated as surgery .
they even arrived at answers , such as myths , that dominated their lives , yet bore almost no resemblance to the truth .

and they trained 50,000 bombardiers on how to use them -- long extensive , months-long training sessions -- because these things are essentially analog computers ; they 're not easy to use .
so you go from elation to depression -- there 's no depth .
we asked meditators , who have been doing that for years and years and years , to put their mind in a state where there 's nothing but loving kindness , of course , during the training , we do that with objects .

i tried to find one that did n't have a whole lot of words .
i have a hermit crab named hawthorne , who does n't get a lot of respect as a hermit crab , so he kind of wishes he were a great white shark .

those are its targets .
now , it being encyclopedic and all , wikipedia had to do an article about star wars kid .
and what all this means is that paradigms take far too long to shift , that complexity and nuance are ignored and also that money talks -- because we 've all seen the evidence of pharmaceutical companies funding studies of drugs that conveniently leave out their worst side effects , or studies funded by food companies of their new products , massively exaggerating the health benefits of the products they 're about to bring by market .
you see , china under foreign domination actually lowered their income and came down to the indian level here .
and again , this is a kind of an accurate model of what happens with the gravitational lensing .
it kills people in the prime of their lives .
and when i leave here , i 'm going to go back and sit in my tiny office , and my computer , and my data .
and he studied -- there was a film about king fishers .
co2 as a building block .

if you fail the iq test they ask you to leave the country .
china solves it by an edict . at some point they 'll just declare that no gasoline car will come into a city , and that will be it .
because crime is a product of a distorted mind .
that 's the image : african countries . but let me say this : if alams was able to export eight million dollars into an account in london -- if the other people who had taken money , estimated at 20 to 40 billion now of developing countries ' monies sitting abroad in the developed countries -- if they 're able to do this , what is that ? is that not corruption ?
standard chartered has brought in 140 million .
what we 're seeing now is that computers and radios are becoming so sophisticated that we 're developing algorithms to let people own machines , like wi-fi devices , and overlay them with a sharing protocol that would allow a community like this to build its own wireless broadband network simply from the simple principle : when i 'm listening , when i 'm not using , i can help you transfer your messages ; and when you 're not using , you 'll help me transfer yours .
ok . now , what can you do ? reduce emissions in your home .
once it becomes a closed system , with u.s. participation , then everybody who 's on a board of directors -- how many people here serve on the board of directors of a corporation ?

and i think , you know , that 's a great name for boats that think that they 're going to do anything to make a dent in this by dragging a boom between them when there are literally hundreds of thousands of square miles in the gulf right now with oil at the surface .
well , as an ornithologist , i can tell you that birds fly , and that -- and that booming a bird colony does n't do it ; it does n't do it .
we 've been here before with energy , and people saying the economy can not withstand a switch , because the cheapest energy was slavery .
and even though they 're used in labs to promote human lives , they 're also considered pests .
i love feeling the aura of a space that has so much history .
this is the new york city farm colony , which was a poorhouse in staten island from the 1890s to the 1930s .

you are not talking about affordability , you are talking about extreme affordability .
the best is yet to come -- so in a second .
you like your fantasy environments , your fake , your disneyland experiences .
right ? rendering , because you have to get your consumers -- as business people -- to percieve your offerings as authentic .
all of a sudden having conversation and communications with the estrogens , the progesterones , saying , `` i 'm here to stay , plant me , '' building this incredible trilinear fetus that becomes , within 44 days , something that you can recognize , and then at nine weeks is really kind of a little human being .
how to measure , if we have planets where the amount of those elements is small , so those planets are tectonically dead , there can not be life .
we just need you to be authentic and real and say , `` we 're sorry .
but it 's a story until we convert it to data and so what we do , this concept we had , was to take steven 's status , `` what is my status ? ''
we talked about generating and using .
the very feeling of terror is global .
they have a mall there , the dubai mall .
they believe they can win .
and it actually happened again , with the fall of the berlin wall .
it can borrow against the total amount of dollars in circulation in the world .
so , to make the point , these guys had actually built their boat out of plastic trash , 15,000 empty water bottles latched together into two pontoons .
we need to talk to teachers and parents and school board members and politicians .
so despite making something that is seemingly revolutionary , we really focused on doing as little new as possible .
the only problem is : potatoes , if you think about it , look pretty disgusting .
another fantastic case of creating intangible value to replace actual or material value , which remember , is what , after all , the environmental movement needs to be about : this again is from prussia , from , i think , about 1812 , 1813 .
yet we 've never created the opportunity for impulse saving .
if you think it 's funny , bear in mind there is an organization called the american institute of wine economics , which actually does extensive research into perception of things , and discovers that except for among perhaps five or ten percent of the most knowledgeable people , there is no correlation between quality and enjoyment in wine , except when you tell the people how expensive it is , in which case they tend to enjoy the more expensive stuff more .
getting a new replicator is dangerous .
well , we did pull through , and we adapted .
the proof of this came in chile , almost a month later , when 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit chile .
all of this i 'm going to get to in the next 18 minutes , i hope .
so i said yes to this proposition .
but there 's another rare syndrome , so rare , in fact , that very few physicians have heard about it , not even neurologists .
so because the fusiform is intact , the chap can still recognize his mother , and says , `` oh yeah , this looks like my mother . ''
but because the wire is cut to the emotional centers , he says , `` but how come , if it 's my mother , i do n't experience a warmth ? ''
so he came there , and i gave him a mirror like that , in a box , which i call a mirror box , right ?
and some stars die spectacularly in a supernova explosion , leaving remnants like that .
we depend on chemistry to determine our complex structure .
i wrote my book , `` our final century , '' as a scientist , just a general scientist . but there 's one respect , i think , in which being a cosmologist offered a special perspective , and that 's that it offers an awareness of the immense future .
but we ca n't abandon it now ; we have to push forward , get fusion to happen .
so , if you 've been involved in that at all , i just wanted to say : whatever you 've been doing , whether you 've just been chanting , `` raw data now ! ''
and there are 2,000 new homes being built next to this power station .
and i was a really good dancer .
you do n't have to be alive . you do n't have to be even a single cell .
and before i even let him explain , i said , `` i want to do it the right way , with the rubber bands . ''
i used to have a list of these extinct apples , and when i would go out and give a presentation , i would pass the list out in the audience .
digital scrotum , digital media .
and this was at a time when mars was a hell of a lot more interesting than it is now . we thought there 'd be animals there ; we knew there were plants there ; the colors change , right ?
but when we got it , now you have all the level of activity , all the benefit from it . private sector has to do it .
and the amazing thing was that not one of them had to be there -- yet they were .

i can feel what you 're feeling as you 're feeling inside the feeling before .

so this was extremely embarrassing .
today , after 20 years of watching tv geared to make me emotional , even a decent insurance commercial can bring tears to my eyes .
as far as colleges go , there 's about 350 colleges around the world teaching video game courses .
and of course , if you 're a speaker here , like hans rosling , a speaker finds this complex , tricky . but in hans rosling 's case , he had a secret weapon yesterday , literally , in his sword swallowing act .
and that leaves two open areas that are kind of suspicious ...
so they 're cutting out the little pieces of cardboard here and pasting them up .
but it 's going to have a big impact because we 're going to have niche drugs .
and we are n't going to be able to support the kinds of expenses that we have to create blockbuster drugs today .
here 's the gecko running up a vertical surface . there it goes , in real time . there it goes again . obviously , we have to slow this down a little bit .
the animal does not use that .
no , you can change the charge -- they still hold on .
the causes of this are really complicated , and i do n't have time to go into them .
i mean , when i first got my violin and tried to play around , it was actually , really bad because it did n't sound like the way i 'd heard from other kids -- so horrible and so scratchy -- so it was n't entertaining at all .
now here 's what does work : personalized information works .

how many of you use the deskbar ?
all right , see ? you guys should try it out .
we also like to innovate in our physical space , and we noticed in meetings , you know , you have to wait a long time for projectors to turn on and off , and they 're noisy , so people shut them off .
but carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide .
it can also be used in very compelling ways for good .
the sporting goods industry , in particular , stepped up to the plate and have done it .
i tried to tell the story through the work of caregivers .
sheena , there is a detail about your biography that we have not written in the program book .
and i felt , the one thing they do n't need , is a chair that interferes with their main reason for sitting there .
in 2007 , i traveled to three war zones .
that was what he was talking about on that quote .
it 's been reported that wikileaks , your baby , has , in the last few years has released more classified documents than the rest of the world 's media combined .

you may have the chance to make a difference .
it is technology that has made them different , and as we see what this technology can do , we need to recognize you ca n't kill the instinct the technology produces . we can only criminalize it .
and it 's beginning to tell us a lot about evolution .
the reason why ferroplasma is interesting is because it eats iron , lives inside the equivalent of battery acid , and excretes sulfuric acid .
but it turns out that as we learn more about gene code and how to reprogram species , we may be able to close the gene gaps in deteriorate dna .
and you can do some pretty strange things because in the same way as you can reprogram this apple , if you go to cliff tabin 's lab at the harvard medical school , he 's reprogramming chicken embryos to grow more wings .
now , the only way we could design that , or possibly construct it , is by using a calculus-based definition of the form .
what do you do ?
border conflicts can derail so much of the progress that we hope to achieve here .
and i assure you it 's every bit as important to them as it might have been to colonizers and imperialists .
i mentioned azerbaijan before .
i do n't think it does . i think it 's already part of a euro-turkish superpower .
when we have extreme el nino events , you see all this red , and you see no green out here around the galapagos .
i thought to myself , why not take the individual cells out of the pancreas -- the cells that secrete insulin to cure diabetes -- and transplant these cells ? -- technically a much simpler procedure than having to grapple with the complexities of transplanting a whole organ .
and the biomass -- this is the most spectacular change -- 4.5 times greater biomass on average , just after five to seven years .
enric sala : thank you .
they are like capacitors of the system .
and on land , this can not work .
but see all those different working things ?
so , as soon as a crab touches them , they retract down into their shells , just like your fingernails .
they 're clinging to a rock face and actually scraping bacteria off that rock face .
but we 'll certainly learn a lot .
because the light-activated pore is encoded in dna , we can achieve incredible precision .
and you can see here that the flash of light has exactly the same effect .
and i 'm thinking they 've done more for my marriage than a lifetime of therapy ever could .
almost all of that growth will be in the developed world .
or you can go to places like this .
the other thing it does is that this plant mimics another orchid that has a wonderful store of food for insects .
this upward ascension can happen even in the face of extreme physical challenges .
everybody 's moving from the east coast to the west coast .

and i gathered together , honestly , the world 's leading experts in every possible way .
and they have these long 30 to 40 to 50-ft . tentacles .
`` chaos city . ''
why do i call it a book ?
so it 's a tree , and in its trunk you have the roots of languages .
and for other projects , like in paris , it 's about the name of the street .
this is a huge problem because it means that the same image could have an infinite number of possible real-world sources .
so i 'll show you what i mean . here we have that exact same illusion .
he finds it . amazing . right ?
it 's now wired -- or i should say , wireless -- by taking the aggregate of these signals in the hospital , in the intensive care unit , and putting it on a smartphone for physicians .
i did n't have one of those , but i got the fitbit .
and you can see the red dots , in this particular patient 's case , were finger sticks , which would have missed both ends .
really , we have two separate concepts mapped onto the same word .
so if you look at security from economic terms , it 's a trade-off .
and we 're good at it .
and it 's a wonderful thing .
you can do lots of market research and do focus groups and figure out what people really want , or you can just kind of go for it and make the book you want and hope other people like it .
they would walk around . they would play with their skirts and pants .
that was enough . it really got the city behind it .
the international committee of the red cross , the icrc , is talking to everyone , and it is doing so because it is neutral .

charles and ray liked this one because it was better .
that 's what we all need to do .
and likewise , the 40 billion dollars that they generate into the global economy each year is the tiniest proportion of the global economy to ever be represented by slave labor .
she said , `` no , because we 've got hope now .
and , but of course , actually , it did click .
it means `` to bring forth what is within , to bring out potential . ''

employees volunteer time in the advice booth .
i mean , if i was into boxing , like they were , then my life would n't suck . but i do n't . so it does .
so let me start with genomics .
but you really for the most part ca n't tell the difference between a healthy person and a sick person -- except in some of these special cases .
and if we find a pattern of things of the responders to the drug , we see that in the blood , they have the condition that allows them to respond to this drug .
so thank you very much .
so we 've been doing this for a couple of years , and that 's our lab .
it 's linked to practical virtues like generosity and hospitality and just being there , just showing up .
and by the human spirit , i do n't mean anything divine , i do n't mean anything supernatural -- certainly not coming from this skeptic .
you have a huge spread due to movement variability .
so we work in a whole sensory movement task soup of noise .
so what are beliefs ?
and here 's inside the brain .
but there 's noise added to this .
your parents may not have planned you , but i believe god did .
ok . what 's that all about ? well , i do know a couple of things .

places that are not markets , seeding it with the principles of saturation , connectivity , low ages , etc. .
the miracle of your mind is n't that you can see the world as it is .
in here you see a traditional 2d architectural engineering drawing that 's used for preservation , and of course we tell the stories through fly-throughs .
it was getting more and more apparent that we 're fighting a losing battle .
european governments , for the most part , have n't acknowledged responsibility , and there 's nothing to kind of to push back and up against .
it 's incredibly important , those people would no longer be alive if the united states , for instance , had n't spent that money in darfur , but it 's not a way to live .

which is , again , a sense that it 's all new .
and even at that time , with the introduction of agriculture , 8,000 , 10,000 years ago we started to see climate change .
what i would suggest is that if you want to see where technology is going , we continue that trajectory , and we say `` well what 's going to become more energy-dense , that 's where it 's going . '' and so what i 've done is , i 've taken the same kinds of things and looked at other aspects of evolutionary life and say , `` what are the general trends in evolutionary life ? ''
did you know that one year of the world 's military spending equals 700 years of the u.n. budget and equals 2,928 years of the u.n. budget allocated for women ?

an essay i 'd written about my father , the year before he died , was in tim 's new book .
the women said , `` we agree . we 'll use pills , but we need a doctor to prescribe the pills , '' and we had very , very few doctors .
so they could supply pills and condoms throughout the country , in every village of the country .
sure enough . ok . i used to work in this field of elementary particles .
i think there are laws out there , and we of course do n't understand them at any given time very well -- but we try . and we try to get closer and closer .
as a result he became obsessed with the thought that when we die our life is swept away -- dust to dust .
and he expressed his unshakeable convictions in everyday language , in metaphors , in stories .
ok , if i do n't open the book the whole way , if i just open it 90 degrees , we 're looking down the front of the pantheon , and we 're looking sort of at the top , more or less down on the square .
what does a typical place in the universe look like ?
the one physical system , the brain , contains an accurate working model of the other -- the quasar .

i 'm going to talk about dinosaurs .
do you remember dinosaurs when you were that age ?
dinosaurs are kind of funny , you know .
we 're going to kind of go in a different direction right now .
so i 'll just give you my message up front : try not to go extinct .
that 's it .
people ask me a lot -- in fact , one of the most asked questions i get is , why do children like dinosaurs so much ?
what 's the fascination ?
and i usually just say , `` well dinosaurs were big , different and gone . ''
they 're all gone .
well that 's not true , but we 'll get to the goose in a minute .
so that 's sort of the theme : big , different and gone .
the title of my talk : shape-shifting dinosaurs : the cause of a premature extinction .
now i assume that we remember dinosaurs .
and there 's lots of different shapes .
lots of different kinds .
a long time ago , back in the early 1900s , museums were out looking for dinosaurs .
they went out and gathered them up .
and this is an interesting story .
every museum wanted a little bigger or better one than anybody else had .
so if the museum in toronto went out and collected a tyrannosaur , a big one , then the museum in ottawa wanted a bigger one and a better one .
and that happened for all museums .
so everyone was out looking for all these bigger and better dinosaurs .
and this was in the early 1900s .
look at these dinosaurs .
they 're all big .
where are all the little ones ? ''
and they thought about it and they even wrote papers about it : `` where are the little dinosaurs ? ''
well , go to a museum , you 'll see , see how many baby dinosaurs there are .
people assumed -- and this was actually a problem -- people assumed that if they had little dinosaurs , if they had juvenile dinosaurs , they 'd be easy to identify .
but all they had were big dinosaurs .
and it comes down to a couple of things .
first off , scientists have egos , and scientists like to name dinosaurs .
they like to name anything .
everybody likes to have their own animal that they named .
and so every time they found something that looked a little different , they named it something different .
in 1975 , a light went on in somebody 's head .
dr. peter dodson at the university of pennsylvania actually realized that dinosaurs grew kind of like birds do , which is different than the way reptiles grow .
and in fact , he used the cassowary as an example .
now think about that .
they 're basically retaining their juvenile characteristics very late in what we call ontogeny .
so allometric cranial ontogeny is relative skull growth .
so this was a problem , and peter dodson pointed this out using some duck-billed dinosaurs then called hypacrosaurus .
and he showed that if you were to take a baby and an adult and make an average of what it should look like , if it grew in sort of a linear fashion , it would have a crest about half the size of the adult .
but the actual sub-adult at 65 percent had no crest at all .
so this was interesting .
so this is where people went astray again .
i mean , if they 'd have just taken that , taken peter dodson 's work , and gone on with that , then we would have a lot less dinosaurs than we have .
but scientists have egos ; they like to name things .
and so they went on naming dinosaurs because they were different .
now we have a way of actually testing to see whether a dinosaur , or any animal , is a young one or an older one .
and that 's by actually cutting into their bones .
but cutting into the bones of a dinosaur is hard to do , as you can imagine , because in museums bones are precious .
you go into a museum and they take really good care of them .
they put them in foam , little containers .
they 're very well taken care of .
they do n't like it if you come in and want to saw them open and look inside .
so they do n't normally let you do that .
but i have a museum and i collect dinosaurs and i can saw mine open .
so that 's what i do .
so if you cut open a little dinosaur , it 's very spongy inside like a.
and if you cut into an older dinosaur , it 's very massive .
you can tell it 's mature bone .
so it 's real easy to tell them apart .
so what i want to do is show you these .
in north america in the northern plains of the united states and the southern plains of alberta and saskatchewan , there 's this unit of rock called the hell creek formation that produces the last dinosaurs that lived on earth .
and there are 12 of them that everyone recognizes -- i mean the 12 primary dinosaurs that went extinct .
and so we will evaluate them .
and that 's sort of what i 've been doing .
so my students , my staff , we 've been cutting them open .
now as you can imagine , cutting open a leg bone is one thing , but when you go to a museum and say , `` you do n't mind if i cut open your dinosaur 's skull do you ? ''
they say , `` go away . ''
so here are 12 dinosaurs .
and we want to look at these three first .
so these are dinosaurs that are called pachycephalosaurs .
and everybody knows that these three animals are related .
and the assumption is is that they 're related like cousins or whatever .
but no one ever considered that they might be more closely related .
in other words , people looked at them and they saw the differences .
and you all know that if you are going to determine whether you 're related to your brother or your sister , you ca n't do it by looking at differences .
you can only determine relatedness by looking for similarities .
so people were looking at these and they were talking about how different they are .
pachycephalosaurus has a big , thick dome on its head , and it 's got some little bumps on the back of its head , and it 's got a bunch of gnarly things on the end of its nose .
and then stygimoloch , another dinosaur from the same age , lived at the same time , has spikes sticking out the back of its head .
it 's got a little , tiny dome , and it 's got a bunch of gnarly stuff on its nose .
and then there 's this thing called dracorex , hogwart 's eye .
guess where that came from ? dragon .
so here 's a dinosaur that has spikes sticking out of its head , no dome and gnarly stuff on its nose .
nobody noticed the gnarly stuff sort of looked alike .
but they did look at these three and they said , `` these are three different dinosaurs , and dracorex is probably the most primitive of them .
and the other one is more primitive than the other .
it 's unclear to me how they actually sorted these three of them out .
but if you line them up , if you just take those three skulls and just line them up , they line up like this .
dracorex is the littlest one , stygimoloch is the middle size one , pachycephalosaurus is the largest one .
and one would think , that should give me a clue .
but it did n't give them a clue .
because , well we know why .
scientists like to name things .
so if we cut open dracorex -- i cut open our dracorex -- and look , it was spongy inside , really spongy inside .
i mean , it is a juvenile and it 's growing really fast .
so it is going to get bigger .
if you cut open stygimoloch , it is doing the same thing .
it 's inflating very fast .
what 's interesting is the spike on the back of the dracorex was growing very fast as well .
the spikes on the back of the stygimoloch are actually resorbing , which means they 're getting smaller as that dome is getting bigger .
and if we look at pachycephalosaurus , pachycephalosaurus has a solid dome and its little bumps on the back of its head were also resorbing .
so just with these three dinosaurs , you can easily -- as a scientist -- we can easily hypothesize that it is just a growth series of the same animal .
which of course means that stygimoloch and dracorex are extinct .
okay .
which of course means we have 10 primary dinosaurs to deal with .
so a colleague of mine at berkley , he and i were looking at triceratops .
and before the year 2000 -- now remember , triceratops was first found in the 1800s -- before 2000 , no one had ever seen a juvenile triceratops .
there 's a triceratops in every museum in the world , but no one had ever collected a juvenile .
and we know why , right ?
because everybody wants to have a big one .
so everyone had a big one .
so we went out and collected a whole bunch of stuff and we found a whole bunch of little ones .
they 're everywhere . they 're all over the place .
so we have a whole bunch of them at our museum .
and everybody says it 's because i have a little museum .
when you have a little museum , you have little dinosaurs .
if you look at the triceratops , you can see it 's changing , it 's shape-shifting .
as the juveniles are growing up , their horns actually curve backwards .
and then as they grow older , the horns grow forward .
and that 's pretty cool .
if you look along the edge of the frill , they have these little triangular bones that actually grow big as triangles and then they flatten against the frill pretty much like the spikes do on the pachycephalosaurs .
and then , because the juveniles are in my collection , i cut them open and look inside .
and the little one is really spongy .
and the middle size one is really spongy .
but what was interesting was the adult triceratops was also spongy .
and this is a skull that is two meters long .
it 's a big skull .
but there 's another dinosaur that is found in this formation that looks like a triceratops , except it 's bigger , and it 's called torosaurus .
and torosaurus , when we cut into it , has mature bone .
and everybody says , `` a triceratops and a torosaurus ca n't possibly be the same animal because one of them 's bigger than the other one . ''
`` and it has holes in its frill . ''
and i said , `` well do we have any juvenile torosauruses ? ''
and they said , `` well no , but it has holes in its frill . ''
so one of my graduate students , john scannella , looked through our whole collection and he actually discovered that the hole starting to form in triceratops and , of course it 's open , in torosaurus -- so he found the transitional ones between triceratops and torosaurus , which was pretty cool .
so now we know that torosaurus is actually a grownup triceratops .
now when we name dinosaurs , when we name anything , the original name gets to stick and the second name is thrown out .
so torosaurus is extinct .
triceratops , if you 've heard the news , a lot of the newscasters got it all wrong .
they thought torosaurus should be kept and triceratops thrown out , but that 's not going to happen .
all right , so we can do this with a bunch of dinosaurs .
i mean , here 's edmontosaurus and anatotitan .
anatotitan : giant duck .
it 's a giant duck-bill dinosaur .
here 's another one .
so we look at the bone histology .
the bone histology tells us that edmontosaurus is a juvenile , or at least a sub-adult , and the other one is an adult and we have an ontogeny .
and we get rid of anatotitan .
so we can just keep doing this .
and the last one is t. rex .
so there 's these two dinosaurs , t. rex and nanotyrannus .
again , makes you wonder .
but they had a good question .
they were looking at them and they said , `` one 's got 17 teeth , and the biggest one 's got 12 teeth .
so it must be true -- they must be different . ''
so we cut into them .
and sure enough , nanotyrannus has juvenile bone and the bigger one has more mature bone .
it looks like it could still get bigger .
and at the museum of the rockies where we work , i have four t. rexes , so i can cut a whole bunch of them .
but i did n't have to cut any of them really , because i just lined up their jaws and it turned out the biggest one had 12 teeth and the next smallest one had 13 and the next smallest had 14 .
and of course , nano has 17 .
and we just went out and looked at other people 's collections and we found one that has sort of 15 teeth .
so again , real easy to say that tyrannosaurus ontogeny included nanotyrannus , and therefore we can take out another dinosaur .
so when it comes down to our end cretaceous , we have seven left .
and that 's a good number .
that 's a good number to go extinct , i think .
now as you can imagine , this is not very popular with fourth-graders .
fourth-graders love their dinosaurs , they memorize them .
and they 're not happy with this .
thank you very much .
chris has been so nice .
i do n't know how you keep it up , chris , i really do n't .
so nice , all week . he 's the kind of man you could say to , `` chris , i 'm really sorry , i 've crashed your car .
and it gets worse , i crashed it into your house .
your house has caught fire .
and what 's more , your wife has just run off with your best friend . ''
and you know that chris would say , `` thank you . ''
`` thank you for sharing , that 's really interesting . ''
`` thank you for taking me to a place that i did n't know existed . thank you . ''
one of the -- thank you for inviting us .
one of the things about appearing later on in the ted week is that , gradually , as the days go by , all the other speakers cover most of what you were going to say .
nuclear fusion , i had about 10 minutes on that .
spectroscopy , that was another one .
parallel universes .
and so this morning i thought , `` oh well , i 'll just do a card trick . ''
that one 's gone as well .
and today is emmanuel 's day , i think we 've agreed that , already , have n't we ?
emmanuel ? absolutely .
i was planning on finishing on a dance ...
so , that 's going to look pretty shabby now .
so , what i thought i 'd do is -- in honor of emmanuel -- is , what i can do is to launch today the first ted global auction .
if i could start , this is the enigma decoding machine .
who will start me with $ 1,000 ? anyone ?
thank you . bruno 's face , just then , he said , `` no , do n't go through this . do n't , please do n't .
do n't go through this . do n't do it . ''
i 'm worried . when i first got the invitation , they said somewhere in the thing , they said , `` 15 minutes to change the world , your moment onstage . '' 15 minutes to change the world .
i do n't know about you , it takes me 15 minutes to change a plug .
so , the idea of changing the world is really quite an extraordinary one .
well , of course now we know we do n't have to change a plug , now we 've seen that wonderful demonstration of the wireless electric -- fantastic . you know , it inspires us .
300 years ago he 'd have been burnt at the stake for that .
and now it 's an idea .
it 's great . it 's fantastic .
but you do meet some fantastic people , people who look at the world in a totally different way .
yesterday , david deutsch , another one who covered most of what i was going to say .
but when you think of the world in that way , it does make going to starbucks a whole new experience , do n't you think ?
i mean , he must walk in and they will say , `` would you like a macchiato , or a latte , or an americano , or a cappuccino ? ''
and he 'll say , `` you 're offering me things that are infinitely variable . ''
`` how can your coffee be true ? ''
and they will say , `` would you mind if i serve the next customer ? ''
and elaine morgan yesterday , was n't she wonderful ?
fantastic . really good .
her talk about the aquatic ape , and the link , of course , the link between darwinism and the fact that we are all naked beneath this -- we 're not hirsute and we can swim rather well .
and she said , you know , she 's 90 . she 's running out of time , she said .
and she 's desperate to find more evidence for the link .
and i think , `` i 'm sitting next to lewis pugh . ''
this man has swum around the north pole , what more evidence do you want ?
and there he is .
that 's how ted brings these connections together .
i was n't here on tuesday . i did n't actually see gordon brown 's job application -- um , sorry .
i 'm so sorry .
i 'm so sorry . no , no. .
: `` global problems require scottish solutions . ''
the problem i have is because gordon brown , he comes onstage and he looks for all the world like a man who 's just taken the head off a bear suit .
: `` hello , can i tell you what happened in the woods back there ?
uh , no. ''
`` i 'm sorry . i 've only got 18 minutes , 18 minutes to talk about saving the world , saving the planet , global institutions .
our work on climate change , i 've only got 18 minutes , unfortunately i 'm not able to tell you about all the wonderful things we 're doing to promote the climate change agenda in great britain , like the third runway we 're planning at heathrow airport ... ''
`` the large coal-fired power station we 're building at king 's north , and of course the exciting news that only today , only this week , britain 's only manufacturer of wind turbines has been forced to close .
no time , unfortunately , to mention those . ''
`` british jobs for scottish people ...
no. ''
`` christian principles , christian values .
thou shalt not kill , thou shalt not steal , thou shalt not covet thy neighbor 's wife . ''
`` although to be honest , when i was at number 11 that was never going to be a problem . ''
: `` yeah , alright , come on , eh .
alright gordon , come on , eh .
i just , can i just say a few things about , first about cherie , because she 's a wonderful lady , my wife , with a wonderful smile .
that reminds me , i must post that letter . ''
`` i just think , you know , what people forget , gordon and i , we always got on perfectly well .
alright , it was never exactly ` brokeback mountain . ' '' `` you know , i wrote to him , just before i left office . i said , ` can i rely on your support for the next month ? ' and he wrote back . he said , ` no , you ca n't . ' which kind of surprised me , because i 'd never seen ` ca n't ' spelled that way before . ''
another thing gordon could have mentioned in his speech to the mansion house in 2002 -- that was to the building ; the people were n't listening .
but the people , when talking about the finance industry , he said , `` what you as the city of london have done for financial services , we , as a government , hope to do for the economy as a whole . ''
when you think what 's happened to financial services , and you see what 's happened to the economy , you think , `` well , there is a man who delivers on his promises . ''
but we 're in a new world now . we 're in a completely new world .
this is the first time that i can remember , where if you get a letter from the bank manager about a loan , you do n't know if you 're borrowing money from him , or if he 's borrowing money from you .
am i right ?
these extraordinary things , icelandic internet accounts .
did anyone here have an icelandic internet account ?
why would you do that ? why would -- it 's like one step up from replying to one of those emails from nigeria , is n't it ?
asking for your bank details .
and , you know , iceland , it was never going to cut it .
it did n't have that kind of collateral .
what does it have ? it has fish , that 's all .
that 's why the prime minister went on television . he said , `` this has left us all with a very big haddock . ''
a lot of what i do -- i have to try and make sense of things before i can make nonsense of them .
and making sense of the financial crisis is very , very difficult .
luckily , somebody like george bush was really helpful .
he summed it up , really , at a dinner .
he was speaking at a dinner , he said , `` wall street got drunk . ''
`` and now it 's got a hangover . ''
and that 's , you know , that 's something -- and that 's something we can relate to .
it 's certainly something he can relate to .
and the other one , of course , is donald rumsfeld , who said , `` there are the known knowns , the things we know we know .
and then you got the known unknowns , the things we know we do n't know .
and then you got the unknown unknowns , those are the things we do n't know we do n't know . ''
and being english , when i first heard that i thought , `` what a load of cock . ''
and then , you 're now , well , actually , that 's what this is about .
this whole , what ben bernanke has said , the chaotic unwinding of the world 's financial system , it 's about -- they do n't know , they did n't know what they were doing .
in 2006 , the head of the american mortgage bankers association said , quote , `` as we can clearly see , no seismic occurrence is about to overwhelm the u.s. economy . ''
now , there is a man on top of his job .
and when the crisis was happening , the head of quantitative equities at lehman brothers said , `` events which models predicted would happen once every 10,000 years happened every day for three days . ''
so , it 's extraordinary . it 's a new world that 's very , very difficult to make sense of .
but we have a new hope . we have a new man .
america has now elected its first openly black president .
wonderful news .
not only that , he 's left-handed . have you noticed this ?
you see , a lot of the people that i most admire , they 're great artists , great designers , great thinkers , they 're left-handed .
and somebody said to me last night , you know , being left-handed , you have to learn to write without smudging the ink .
and somebody was talking about metaphors on monday .
and i thought , what a wonderful metaphor , is n't it ? an american president who has to write without smudging the ink .
you like that one ? as opposed to you could see george bush , well , what 's the metaphor there ?
i think it would be something out of the aquatic ape thing , would n't it ?
`` well , you know i 'm sorry about that .
i 'm right-handed but i seem to have smudged that ink as well . ''
but , you know , he 's gone . now he 's gone .
that 's eight years of american history , eight minutes of my act , just gone like that .
`` you know , it 's the end of an error -lrb- sic -rrb- .
i happen to believe it was a great error .
i know folks said to me they believe it was one of the greatest errors in the history of the united states .
but we proved them wrong in iraq .
they said there was no link between iraq and al qaeda .
there is now . ''
`` but i have a message for the suicide bombers , for those people who 've blown themselves up . ''
`` we 're going to find you . ''
`` we 're going to make sure you do n't do it again . ''
but now he 's gone , and it 's great to see one of the -- arguably one of the worst speech makers in american history , now given way to one of the greatest , in obama .
you were there , maybe , on the night of his victory .
and he spoke to the crowd in chicago , he said , `` if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible ... ''
i ca n't do the whole thing because it would take too long , it really would .
but you get the picture . and then it goes to the inauguration .
and he and the chief justice , they trip over each other , they get their words wrong and they screw the thing up .
and there is george bush sitting there going , `` heh heh heh heh ... ''
`` not so easy is it ? heh heh heh . ''
but the interesting thing is , gordon brown was talking about cicero , who said , people would listen to a speech , they said , `` great speech . ''
and then they 'd listen to demosthenes , and they 'd say , `` let 's march . ''
it 's rather like that line in the film `` as good as it gets . ''
do you remember that film with helen hunt and jack nicholson , and helen hunt says to jack nicholson , `` what do you see in me ? ''
and jack nicholson just says , `` you make me want to be a better man . ''
and you want a leader who inspires and challenges and makes you want to be a better citizen . right ?
but at the moment , it 's a cicero thing .
we like what barack obama says , but we do n't do anything about it .
so he comes over to this country , and he says , `` we need a big fiscal stimulus . ''
and everyone goes , `` great ! '' he leaves the country and the french and the germans go , `` no , no , forget about that , absolutely not . '' nothing happens . he goes to strasburg .
he says , `` we need more boots on the ground in afghanistan . ''
and everyone goes , `` great idea . ''
he leaves , people go , `` no no no , we 're not going to do that .
5,000 maximum , and no rockets . no , no , not going to do it . ''
he goes to prague , he says , `` we believe in a nuclear-free world . ''
and it 's great to have an american president who can say the word `` nuclear , '' let 's just point that out first .
do you remember that ? george bush , `` a nu-ca-ler . ''
sorry , what ? `` a nu-ca-ler . ''
could you say `` avuncular '' ? `` avunclear . ''
thank you very much .
and that day , north korea , that very day , north korea is just seeing if it can just get one over japan -- -- and land it before ...
so , where do we look for inspiration ? we 've still got bill clinton .
`` i believe , i believe it was president dwight d. eisenhower who said ... ''
`` tell a lie ; it was diana ross ... ''
'' ... who said , reach out and touch ... ''
'' ... somebody 's gla -- hand . ''
`` make this world a better place , if you can .
i just think that 's important . i really do .
and i was hoping hillary would get to the white house , because she 'd have been out of our home for four years .
and i , you know . ''
`` so , when that did n't work out i had to make a few arrangements , let me tell you . ''
so , there 's him . in britain we have prince charles : `` and the environment is so important , all we can do .
my wife gets fed up with me constantly trying to push emissions up her agenda . ''
or , any south africans , we have mandela to inspire .
mandela , the great man mandela .
he 's been honored with a statue now .
the previous highest honor he had in britain was a visit from the team from ground force , a gardening program .
`` so , nelson , how would you like a nice water feature ? ''
`` ahh , listen to me mr. titchmarsh . ''
`` i was held in prison for nearly 30 years on an island in the middle of the ocean .
why would i need a bloody water feature ? ''
very quickly : i was n't quite sure how to end this talk and then yesterday that man came up with a wonderful quote from the `` japanese essays on idleness '' which said it 's nice to have something which is unfinished because it implies there is still room for growth .
thank you very much indeed .
hi . i 'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise , admiration and thank you , and having it be specific and genuine .
and the way i got interested in this was , i noticed in myself , when i was growing up , and until about a few years ago , that i would want to say thank you to someone , i would want to praise them , i would want to take in their praise of me and i 'd just stop it .
and i asked myself , why ?
i felt shy , i felt embarrassed .
and then my question became , am i the only one who does this ?
so , i decided to investigate .
i 'm fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility , so i get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction .
and sometimes it comes down to something as simple as , their core wound is their father died without ever saying he 's proud of them .
but then , they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him , but he never told the son .
it 's because he did n't know that his son needed to hear it .
so my question is , why do n't we ask for the things that we need ?
i know a gentleman , married for 25 years , who 's longing to hear his wife say , `` thank you for being the breadwinner , so i can stay home with the kids , '' but wo n't ask .
i know a woman who 's good at this .
she , once a week , meets with her husband and says , `` i 'd really like you to thank me for all these things i did in the house and with the kids . ''
and he goes , `` oh , this is great , this is great . ''
and praise really does have to be genuine , but she takes responsibility for that .
and a friend of mine , april , who i 've had since kindergarten , she thanks her children for doing their chores .
and she said , `` why would n't i thank it , even though they 're supposed to do it ? ''
so , the question is , why was i blocking it ?
why were other people blocking it ?
why can i say , `` i 'll take my steak medium rare , i need size six shoes , '' but i wo n't say , `` would you praise me this way ? ''
and it 's because i 'm giving you critical data about me .
i 'm telling you where i 'm insecure .
i 'm telling you where i need your help .
and i 'm treating you , my inner circle , like you 're the enemy .
because what can you do with that data ?
you could neglect me .
you could abuse it .
or you could actually meet my need .
and i took my bike into the bike store -- i love this -- same bike , and they 'd do something called `` truing '' the wheels .
the guy said , `` you know , when you true the wheels , it 's going to make the bike so much better . ''
i get the same bike back , and they 've taken all the little warps out of those same wheels i 've had for two and a half years , and my bike is like new .
so , i 'm going to challenge all of you .
i want you to true your wheels : be honest about the praise that you need to hear .
what do you need to hear ? go home to your wife -- go ask her , what does she need ?
go home to your husband -- what does he need ?
go home and ask those questions , and then help the people around you .
and it 's simple .
and why should we care about this ?
we talk about world peace .
how can we have world peace with different cultures , different languages ?
i think it starts household by household , under the same roof .
so , let 's make it right in our own backyard .
and i want to thank all of you in the audience for being great husbands , great mothers , friends , daughters , sons .
and maybe somebody 's never said that to you , but you 've done a really , really good job .
and thank you for being here , just showing up and changing the world with your ideas .
thank you .
some 17 years ago , i became allergic to delhi 's air .
my doctors told me that my lung capacity had gone down to 70 percent , and it was killing me .
with the help of iit , teri , and learnings from nasa , we discovered that there are three basic green plants , common green plants , with which we can grow all the fresh air we need indoors to keep us healthy .
we 've also found that you can reduce the fresh air requirements into the building , while maintaining industry indoor air-quality standards .
the three plants are areca palm , mother-in-law 's tongue and money plant .
the botanical names are in front of you .
areca palm is a plant which removes co2 and converts it into oxygen .
we had to grow them in vermi manure , which is sterile , or hydroponics , and take them outdoors every three to four months .
the second plant is mother-in-law 's tongue , which is again a very common plant , and we call it a bedroom plant , because it converts co2 into oxygen at night .
and we need six to eight waist-high plants per person .
the third plant is money plant , and this is again a very common plant ; preferably grows in hydroponics .
and this particular plant removes formaldehydes and other volatile chemicals .
with these three plants , you can grow all the fresh air you need .
in fact , you could be in a bottle with a cap on top , and you would not die at all , and you would not need any fresh air .
we have tried these plants at our own building in delhi , which is a 50,000-square-feet , 20-year-old building .
and it has close to 1,200 such plants for 300 occupants .
our studies have found that there is a 42 percent probability of one 's blood oxygen going up by one percent if one stays indoors in this building for 10 hours .
the government of india has discovered or published a study to show that this is the healthiest building in new delhi .
and the study showed that , compared to other buildings , there is a reduced incidence of eye irritation by 52 percent , respiratory systems by 34 percent , headaches by 24 percent , lung impairment by 12 percent and asthma by nine percent .
and this study has been published on september 8 , 2008 , and it 's available on the government of india website .
our experience points to an amazing increase in human productivity by over 20 percent by using these plants .
and also a reduction in energy requirements in buildings by an outstanding 15 percent , because you need less fresh air .
we are now replicating this in a 1.75-million-square-feet building , which will have 60,000 indoor plants .
why is this important ?
it is also important for the environment , because the world 's energy requirements are expected to grow by 30 percent in the next decade .
40 percent of the world 's energy is taken up by buildings currently , and 60 percent of the world 's population will be living in buildings in cities with a population of over one million in the next 15 years .
and there is a growing preference for living and working in air-conditioned places .
`` be the change you want to see in the world , '' said mahatma gandhi .
and thank you for listening .
thirteen trillion dollars in wealth has evaporated over the course of the last two years .
we 've questioned the future of capitalism .
we 've questioned the financial industry .
we 've looked at our government oversight .
we 've questioned where we 're going .
and yet , at the same time , this very well may be a seminal moment in american history , an opportunity for the consumer to actually take control and guide us to a new trajectory in america .
i 'm calling this the great unwind .
and the idea is a simple , simple idea , which is the fact that the consumer has moved from a state of anxiety to action .
consumers who represent 72 percent of the gdp of america have actually started , just like banks and just like businesses , to de-leverage , to unwind their leverage , in daily life , to remove themselves from the liability and risk that presents itself as we move forward .
so , to understand this -- and i 'm going to stress this -- it 's not about the consumer being in retreat .
the consumer is empowered .
in order to understand this , we 're going to step back and look a little bit at what 's happened over the course of the last year and a half .
so , if you 've been gone , this is the easy cliffsnotes on what 's happened in the economy . okay ?
unemployment up . housing values down . equity markets down .
commodity prices are like this .
if you 're a mom trying to manage a budget , and oil was 150 dollars a barrel last summer , and it 's somewhere between 50 and 70 , do you plan vacations ? how do you buy ?
what is your strategy in your household ?
will the bailout work ? we have national debt , detroit , currency valuations , healthcare , all these issues facing us .
in fact , let 's go back and look at what caused this crisis , because the consumer , all of us , in our daily lives , actually contributed a large part to the problem .
this is something i call the 50-20 paradox .
it took us 50 years to reach annual savings ratings of almost 10 percent . 50 years .
do you know what this was right here ?
this was world war ii . do you know why savings was so high ?
there was nothing to buy , unless you wanted to buy some rivets . right ?
so , what happened though , over the course of the last 20 years -- we went from a 10 percent savings rate to a negative savings rate .
because we binged . we bought extra-large cars , supersized everything , we bought remedies for restless leg syndrome .
all these things together basically created a factor where the consumer sort of drove us headlong into the crisis that we face today .
the personal debt-to-income ratio basically went from 65 percent to 135 percent in the span of about 15 years .
so consumers got overleveraged .
and of course our banks did as well , as did our federal government .
this is an absolutely staggering chart .
it shows leverage , trended out from 1919 to 2009 .
and what you end up seeing is the whole phenomenon of the fact that we are actually stepping forth and basically leveraging future education , future children in our households .
so if you look at this in the context of visualizing the bailout , what you can see is if you stack up dollar bills , first of all , 360,000 dollars is about the size of a five-foot-four guy .
but if you stack it up , you just see this amazing , staggering amount of dollars that have been put into the system to fund and bail us out .
so this is the first 315 billion .
but i read this fact the other day , that one trillion seconds equals 32 thousand years , so if you think about that , the context , the casualness with which we talk about trillion-dollar bailout here , and trillion there , we are stacking ourselves up for long-term leverage .
however , consumers have moved .
they are taking responsibility .
what we 're seeing is an uptake in the savings rate .
in fact , 11 straight months of savings have happened since the beginning of the crisis .
we are working our way back up to that 10 percent .
also , remarkably , in the fourth quarter , spending dropped to its lowest level in 62 years , almost a 3.7 percent decline .
visa now reports that more people are using debit cards than they 're using credit cards .
so we 're starting to pay for things with money that we have .
and we 're starting to be much more careful about how we save and how we invest .
but that 's not really the whole story .
because this has also been a dramatic time of transformation .
it 's been pretty staggering , what we 've lived through .
if you take into account 80 percent of all americans were born after world war ii , this is essentially our depression .
and so , as a result , some crazy things have happened .
i 'll give you some examples . lets talk about dentists , vasectomies , guns and shark attacks . okay ?
dentists report molars , you know , people grinding their teeth , coming in and reporting the fact that they 've had stress .
and so there is an increase in people having to have their fillings replaced .
vasectomies are up 48 percent , according to the cornell institute .
and lastly , but a very good point , hopefully not related to the former point i just made , which is that shark attacks are at their lowest level from 2003 .
does anybody know why ?
no one is at the beach . so there is a bright side to everything .
but seriously , what we see happening , and the reason i want to stress that the consumer is not in retreat , is that this is a tremendous opportunity for the consumer who drove us into this recession to lead us right back out .
and what i mean by that is that we can move from mindless consumption to mindful consumption . right ?
by restricting their demand , consumers can actually align their values with their spending , and drive capitalism and business to not just be about more , but be about better .
we 're going to explain that right now .
based on y&r 's brandasset valuator , proprietary tool of vml and young & rubicam , we set out to understand what 's been happening in the crisis with the consumer marketplace .
we found a couple of really interesting things .
we 're going to go through four value-shifts that we see driving new consumer behaviors , that offer new management principles .
the first cultural value shift that we see is this tendency toward something we call liquid life .
this is the movement from americans defining their success on having things to having liquidity , because the less excess that you have around you , the more nimble and fleet of foot you are .
as a result , déclassé consumption is in .
déclassé consumption is the whole idea that spending money frivolously makes you look a little bit anti-fashion .
the management principle is dollars and cents .
so let 's look at some examples of this déclassé consumption that falls out of this value .
first things is we see something must be happening when p. diddy vows to tone down his bling .
but seriously , we also have this phenomenon on madison avenue and in other places , where people are actually walking out of luxury boutiques with ordinary , sort of generic paper bags to hide the brand purchases .
we see high-end haggling in fashion today .
high-end haggling for luxury and real estate .
we also see just a relaxing of ego , and sort of a dismantling of artifice .
this is a story on the yacht club that 's all basically blue collar .
blue-collar yacht club , where you can join the yacht club , but you 've got to work in the boat yard , as sort of condition of membership .
we also see the trend toward tourism that 's a little bit more low key . right ?
agritourism , going to vineyards and going to farms .
and then we also see this movement forward from dollars and cents .
what businesses can do to connect with these new mindsets is really interesting .
a couple things that are kind of cool .
one is that frito-lay figured out this liquidity thing with their consumer .
they found their consumer had more money at the beginning of the month , less at the end of the month . so what they did is they started to change their packaging .
larger packs at the beginning of the month , smaller packaging at the end of the month .
really interestingly , too , was the san francisco giants .
they 've just instituted dynamic pricing .
so it takes into account everything from the pitcher match-ups , to the weather , to the team records , in setting prices for the consumer .
another quick example of these types of movements is the rise of zynga .
zynga has risen on the consumer 's desire to not want to be locked in to fixed-cost .
again , this theme is about variable cost , variable living .
so micropayments have become huge .
and lastly , some people are using hulu actually as a device to get rid of their cable bill .
so , really clever ideas there that are kind of being taken ahold and marketers are starting to understand .
the second of the four values is this movement toward ethics and fair play .
we see that play itself out with empathy and respect .
the consumer is demanding it .
and , as a result , businesses must provide not only value , but values .
increasingly , consumers are looking at the culture of the company , looking for their conduct in the marketplace .
so , what we see with empathy and respect , lots of really hopeful things that have come out of this recession .
and i 'll give you a few examples .
one is the rise toward communities and neighborhoods , and increased emphasis on your neighbors as your support system .
also a wonderful byproduct of sort of a really lousy thing , which has been unemployment , is a rise in volunteerism that 's been noted in our country .
we also see the phenomenon -- some of you may have `` boomerang kids '' -- these are `` boomerang alumni , '' where universities are actually reconnecting with alumni in helping them with jobs , sharing skills and retraining .
we also talked about character and professionalism .
we had this miracle on the hudson in new york city , you know , in january , and suddenly sully has become a key name on babycenter .
so , from a value and values standpoint , what companies can do is connect in lots of different ways .
microsoft is doing something wonderful .
they are actually vowing to retrain two million americans with i.t. training , using their existing infrastructure to do something good .
also a really interesting company is gore-tex .
gore-tex is all about personal accountability of their management and their employees , to the point where they really kind of shun the idea of bosses .
but they also talk about the fact that their executives , all of their expense reports are put onto their company intranet for everyone to see .
complete transparency .
think twice before you have that bottle of wine .
the third of the four laws of post-crisis consumerism is about durable living .
we 're seeing on our data that consumers are realizing this is a marathon , not a sprint .
they are digging in . and they 're looking for ways to extract value out of every purchase that they make .
witness the fact that americans are holding on to their cars longer than ever before , 9.4 years on average , in march . a record .
we also see the fact that libraries have become a huge resource for america .
did you know that 68 percent of americans now carry a library card ?
the highest percentage ever in our nation 's history .
so what you see in this trend is also the accumulation of knowledge .
continuing education is up .
everything is focused on betterment , and training , and development and moving forward .
we also see a big diy movement .
i was fascinated to learn that 30 percent of all homes in america are actually built by owners .
that includes cottages and the like . but 30 percent .
so , people are getting their hands dirty . they are rolling up their sleeves .
they want these skills .
and then we look at the high line in new york city , an excellent use of reimagining existing infrastructure for something good , which is a brand new park in new york city .
so , what brands can do , and companies , is pay dividends to consumers , be a brand that lasts , offer transparency , promise you 're going to be there beyond today 's sale .
perfect example of that is patagonia .
patagonia 's footprint chronicles basically goes through and tracks every product that they make , and gives you social responsibility , and helps you understand the ethics that are behind the product that they make .
another great example is fidelity .
rather than instant cash-back rewards on your credit or debit purchases , this is about 529 rewards for your student education .
or the interesting company sunrun .
i love this company . they 've created a consumer collective where they put solar panels on households and create a consumer-based utility , where the electricity that they generate is basically pumped back out into the marketplace .
so , it 's a consumer driven co-op .
so , the fourth sort of post-crisis consumerism that we see is this movement about return to the fold .
it 's incredibly important right now .
trust is not parceled out , as we all know .
it 's now about connecting to your communities , connecting to your social networks .
in my book i talked about the fact that 72 percent of people trust what other people say about a brand or a company , versus 15 percent on advertising .
so , in that respect , cooperative consumerism has really taken off .
this is about consumers working together to get what they want out of the marketplace .
let 's look at a couple of quick examples .
the artisanal movement is huge .
everything about locally derived products and services , supporting your local neighborhoods , whether it 's cheeses , wines and other products .
also this rise of local currencies .
realizing that it 's difficult to get loans in this environment , you 're doing business with people you trust , in your local markets .
so , this rise of this sort of local currency is another really interesting phenomenon .
and then they did a recent report i thought was fascinating .
they actually started , in certain communities in the united states , start to publish people 's electricity usage .
and what they found out is when that was available for public record , the people 's electricity usage in those communities dropped .
then we also look at the idea of cow-pooling , which is the whole phenomenon of consumers organizing together to buy meat from organic farms that they know is safe and controlled in the way that they want it to be controlled .
and then there is this other really interesting movement that 's happened in california , which is about carrot mobs .
the traditional thing would be to boycott right ?
have a stick ? well why not have a carrot ?
and then we look at what companies can do .
this is all the opportunity about being a community organizer .
you have to realize that you ca n't fight and control this .
you actually need to organize it .
you need to harness it . you need to give it meaning .
and there is lots of really interesting examples here that we see .
first is just the rise of the fact that zagat 's has actually moved out of and diversified from rating restaurants , into actually rating healthcare .
so what credentials does zagat 's have ?
well , they have a lot , because it 's their network of people . right ?
then you look at the phenomenon of kogi .
this kogi does n't exist . it 's a moving truck . right ?
it 's a moving truck through l.a. , and the only way you can find it is through twitter .
or you look at johnson & johnson 's momversations .
a phenomenal blog that 's been built up .
where j&j basically is tapping into the power of mommy bloggers , allowing them to basically create a forum where they can communicate and they can connect .
and it 's also become a very , very valuable sort of advertising revenue for j&j as well .
this plus the fact that you 've got phenomenal work from ceos from ford to zappos , connecting on twitter , creating an open environment , allowing their employees to be part of the process , rather than hidden behind walls .
you see this rising force in sort of total transparency and openness that companies are starting to adopt , all because the consumer is demanding it .
so , when we look at this and we step back , what i believe is that the crisis that exists today is definitely real .
it 's been tremendously powerful for consumers .
but , at the same time , this is also a tremendous opportunity .
and the chinese character for crisis is actually the same side of the same coin .
crisis equals opportunity .
what we 're seeing with consumers right now is the ability for them to actually lead us forward out of this recession .
so , we believe that values-driven spending will force capitalism to be better .
it will drive innovation .
it will make longer-lasting products . it will create better , more intuitive customer service .
it will give us the opportunity to connect with companies that share the values that we share .
so , when we look back and step out at this and see the beginning of these trends that we 're seeing in our data , we see a very hopeful picture for the future of america .
thank you very much .
i 'm a storyteller .
that 's what i do in life -- telling stories , writing novels -- and today i would like to tell you a few stories about the art of storytelling and also some supernatural creatures called the djinni .
but before i go there , please allow me to share with you glimpses of my personal story .
i will do so with the help of words , of course , but also a geometrical shape , the circle , so throughout my talk , you will come across several circles .
i was born in strasbourg , france to turkish parents .
shortly after , my parents got separated , and i came to turkey with my mom .
from then on , i was raised as a single child by a single mother .
now in the early 1970s , in ankara , that was a bit unusual .
our neighborhood was full of large families , where fathers were the heads of households , so i grew up seeing my mother as a divorcee in a patriarchal environment .
in fact , i grew up observing two different kinds of womanhood .
on the one hand was my mother , a well-educated , secular , modern , westernized , turkish woman .
on the other hand was my grandmother , who also took care of me and was more spiritual , less educated and definitely less rational .
this was a woman who read coffee grounds to see the future and melted lead into mysterious shapes to fend off the evil eye .
many people visited my grandmother , people with severe acne on their faces or warts on their hands .
each time , my grandmother would utter some words in arabic , take a red apple and stab it with as many rose thorns as the number of warts she wanted to remove .
then one by one , she would encircle these thorns with dark ink .
a week later , the patient would come back for a follow-up examination .
now , i 'm aware that i should not be saying such things in front of an audience of scholars and scientists , but the truth is , of all the people who visited my grandmother for their skin conditions , i did not see anyone go back unhappy or unhealed .
i asked her how she did this . was it the power of praying ?
in response she said , `` yes , praying is effective , but also beware of the power of circles . ''
from her , i learned , amongst many other things , one very precious lesson -- that if you want to destroy something in this life , be it an acne , a blemish or the human soul , all you need to do is to surround it with thick walls .
it will dry up inside .
now we all live in some kind of a social and cultural circle .
we 're born into a certain family , nation , class .
but if we have no connection whatsoever with the worlds beyond the one we take for granted , then we too run the risk of drying up inside .
our imagination might shrink ; our hearts might dwindle , and our humanness might wither if we stay for too long inside our cultural cocoons .
our friends , neighbors , colleagues , family -- if all the people in our inner circle resemble us , it means we are surrounded with our mirror image .
now one other thing women like my grandma do in turkey is to cover mirrors with velvet or to hang them on the walls with their backs facing out .
it 's an old eastern tradition based on the knowledge that it 's not healthy for a human being to spend too much time staring at his own reflection .
ironically , -lrb- living in -rrb- communities of the like-minded is one of the greatest dangers of today 's globalized world .
and it 's happening everywhere , among liberals and conservatives , agnostics and believers , the rich and the poor , east and west alike .
we tend to form clusters based on similarity , and then we produce stereotypes about other clusters of people .
in my opinion , one way of transcending these cultural ghettos is through the art of storytelling .
stories can not demolish frontiers , but they can punch holes in our mental walls .
and through those holes , we can get a glimpse of the other , and sometimes even like what we see .
i started writing fiction at the age of eight .
my mother came home one day with a turquoise notebook and asked me if i 'd be interested in keeping a personal journal .
in retrospect , i think she was slightly worried about my sanity .
i was constantly telling stories at home , which was good , except i told this to imaginary friends around me , which was not so good .
i was an introverted child , to the point of communicating with colored crayons and apologizing to objects when i bumped into them , so my mother thought it might do me good to write down my day-to-day experiences and emotions .
what she did n't know was that i thought my life was terribly boring , and the last thing i wanted to do was to write about myself .
instead , i began to write about people other than me and things that never really happened .
and thus began my life-long passion for writing fiction .
so from the very beginning , fiction for me was less of an autobiographical manifestation than a transcendental journey into other lives , other possibilities .
and please bear with me : i 'll draw a circle and come back to this point .
now one other thing happened around this same time .
my mother became a diplomat .
so from this small , superstitious , middle-class neighborhood of my grandmother , i was zoomed into this posh , international school -lrb- in madrid -rrb- , where i was the only turk .
it was here that i had my first encounter with what i call the `` representative foreigner . ''
in our classroom , there were children from all nationalities , yet this diversity did not necessarily lead to a cosmopolitan , egalitarian classroom democracy .
instead , it generated an atmosphere in which each child was seen -- not as an individual on his own , but as the representative of something larger .
we were like a miniature united nations , which was fun , except whenever something negative , with regards to a nation or a religion , took place .
the child who represented it was mocked , ridiculed and bullied endlessly .
and i should know , because during the time i attended that school , a military takeover happened in my country , a gunman of my nationality nearly killed the pope , and turkey got zero points in -lrb- the -rrb- eurovision song contest .
i skipped school often and dreamed of becoming a sailor during those days .
i also had my first taste of cultural stereotypes there .
the other children asked me about the movie `` midnight express , '' which i had not seen ; they inquired how many cigarettes a day i smoked , because they thought all turks were heavy smokers , and they wondered at what age i would start covering my hair .
i came to learn that these were the three main stereotypes about my country : politics , cigarettes and the veil .
after spain , we went to jordan , germany and ankara again .
everywhere i went , i felt like my imagination was the only suitcase i could take with me .
stories gave me a sense of center , continuity and coherence , the three big cs that i otherwise lacked .
in my mid-twenties , i moved to istanbul , the city i adore .
i lived in a very vibrant , diverse neighborhood where i wrote several of my novels .
when i ran out of the building at three in the morning , i saw something that stopped me in my tracks .
there was the local grocer there -- a grumpy , old man who did n't sell alcohol and did n't speak to marginals .
he was sitting next to a transvestite with a long black wig and mascara running down her cheeks .
i watched the man open a pack of cigarettes with trembling hands and offer one to her , and that is the image of the night of the earthquake in my mind today -- a conservative grocer and a crying transvestite smoking together on the sidewalk .
in the face of death and destruction , our mundane differences evaporated , and we all became one even if for a few hours .
but i 've always believed that stories , too , have a similar effect on us .
i 'm not saying that fiction has the magnitude of an earthquake , but when we are reading a good novel , we leave our small , cozy apartments behind , go out into the night alone and start getting to know people we had never met before and perhaps had even been biased against .
shortly after , i went to a women 's college in boston , then michigan .
i experienced this , not so much as a geographical shift , as a linguistic one .
i started writing fiction in english .
i 'm not an immigrant , refugee or exile -- they ask me why i do this -- but the commute between languages gives me the chance to recreate myself .
i love writing in turkish , which to me is very poetic and very emotional , and i love writing in english , which to me is very mathematical and cerebral .
so i feel connected to each language in a different way .
for me , like millions of other people around the world today , english is an acquired language .
when you 're a latecomer to a language , what happens is you live there with a continuous and perpetual frustration .
as latecomers , we always want to say more , you know , crack better jokes , say better things , but we end up saying less because there 's a gap between the mind and the tongue .
and that gap is very intimidating .
but if we manage not to be frightened by it , it 's also stimulating .
and this is what i discovered in boston -- that frustration was very stimulating .
at this stage , my grandmother , who had been watching the course of my life with increasing anxiety , started to include in her daily prayers that i urgently get married so that i could settle down once and for all .
and because god loves her , i did get married .
but instead of settling down , i went to arizona .
and since my husband is in istanbul , i started commuting between arizona and istanbul -- the two places on the surface of earth that could n't be more different .
i guess one part of me has always been a nomad , physically and spiritually .
stories accompany me , keeping my pieces and memories together , like an existential glue .
yet as much as i love stories , recently , i 've also begun to think that they lose their magic if and when a story is seen as more than a story .
and this is a subject that i would love to think about together .
when my first novel written in english came out in america , i heard an interesting remark from a literary critic .
`` i liked your book , '' he said , `` but i wish you had written it differently . ''
i asked him what he meant by that .
he said , `` well , look at it . there 's so many spanish , american , hispanic characters in it , but there 's only one turkish character and it 's a man . ''
now the novel took place on a university campus in boston , so to me , it was normal that there be more international characters in it than turkish characters , but i understood what my critic was looking for .
and i also understood that i would keep disappointing him .
he wanted to see the manifestation of my identity .
he was looking for a turkish woman in the book because i happened to be one .
we often talk about how stories change the world , but we should also see how the world of identity politics affects the way stories are being circulated , read and reviewed .
many authors feel this pressure , but non-western authors feel it more heavily .
if you 're a woman writer from the muslim world , like me , then you are expected to write the stories of muslim women and , preferably , the unhappy stories of unhappy muslim women .
you 're expected to write informative , poignant and characteristic stories and leave the experimental and avant-garde to your western colleagues .
what i experienced as a child in that school in madrid is happening in the literary world today .
we 're all thought to have something very distinctive , if not peculiar .
the writer and commuter james baldwin gave an interview in 1984 in which he was repeatedly asked about his homosexuality .
when the interviewer tried to pigeonhole him as a gay writer , baldwin stopped and said , `` but do n't you see ? there 's nothing in me that is not in everybody else , and nothing in everybody else that is not in me . ''
when identity politics tries to put labels on us , it is our freedom of imagination that is in danger .
there 's a fuzzy category called multicultural literature in which all authors from outside the western world are lumped together .
i never forget my first multicultural reading , in harvard square about 10 years ago .
we were three writers , one from the philippines , one turkish and one indonesian -- like a joke , you know .
and the reason why we were brought together was not because we shared an artistic style or a literary taste .
it was only because of our passports .
multicultural writers are expected to tell real stories , not so much the imaginary .
a function is attributed to fiction .
in this way , not only the writers themselves , but also their fictional characters become the representatives of something larger .
but i must quickly add that this tendency to see a story as more than a story does not solely come from the west .
it comes from everywhere .
and i experienced this firsthand when i was put on trial in 2005 for the words my fictional characters uttered in a novel .
i had intended to write a constructive , multi-layered novel about an armenian and a turkish family through the eyes of women .
my micro story became a macro issue when i was prosecuted .
some people criticized , others praised me for writing about the turkish-armenian conflict .
but there were times when i wanted to remind both sides that this was fiction .
it was just a story .
and when i say , `` just a story , '' i 'm not trying to belittle my work .
i want to love and celebrate fiction for what it is , not as a means to an end .
writers are entitled to their political opinions , and there are good political novels out there , but the language of fiction is not the language of daily politics .
chekhov said , `` the solution to a problem and the correct way of posing the question are two completely separate things .
and only the latter is an artist 's responsibility . ''
identity politics divides us . fiction connects .
one is interested in sweeping generalizations .
the other , in nuances .
one draws boundaries .
the other recognizes no frontiers .
identity politics is made of solid bricks .
fiction is flowing water .
in the ottoman times , there were itinerant storytellers called `` meddah . ''
they would go to coffee houses , where they would tell a story in front of an audience , often improvising .
with each new person in the story , the meddah would change his voice , impersonating that character .
everybody could go and listen , you know -- ordinary people , even the sultan , muslims and non-muslims .
stories cut across all boundaries , like `` the tales of nasreddin hodja , '' which were very popular throughout the middle east , north africa , the balkans and asia .
today , stories continue to transcend borders .
when palestinian and israeli politicians talk , they usually do n't listen to each other , but a palestinian reader still reads a novel by a jewish author , and vice versa , connecting and empathizing with the narrator .
literature has to take us beyond .
if it can not take us there , it is not good literature .
books have saved the introverted , timid child that i was -- that i once was .
but i 'm also aware of the danger of fetishizing them .
when the poet and mystic , rumi , met his spiritual companion , shams of tabriz , one of the first things the latter did was to toss rumi 's books into water and watch the letters dissolve .
the sufis say , `` knowledge that takes you not beyond yourself is far worse than ignorance . ''
the problem with today 's cultural ghettos is not lack of knowledge -- we know a lot about each other , or so we think -- but knowledge that takes us not beyond ourselves : it makes us elitist , distant and disconnected .
there 's a metaphor which i love : living like a drawing compass .
as you know , one leg of the compass is static , rooted in a place .
meanwhile , the other leg draws a wide circle , constantly moving .
like that , my fiction as well .
one part of it is rooted in istanbul , with strong turkish roots , but the other part travels the world , connecting to different cultures .
in that sense , i like to think of my fiction as both local and universal , both from here and everywhere .
now those of you who have been to istanbul have probably seen topkapi palace , which was the residence of ottoman sultans for more than 400 years .
in the palace , just outside the quarters of the favorite concubines , there 's an area called the gathering place of the djinn .
it 's between buildings .
i 'm intrigued by this concept .
we usually distrust those areas that fall in between things .
we see them as the domain of supernatural creatures like the djinn , who are made of smokeless fire and are the symbol of elusiveness .
but my point is perhaps that elusive space is what writers and artists need most .
when i write fiction i cherish elusiveness and changeability .
i like not knowing what will happen 10 pages later .
i like it when my characters surprise me .
i might write about a muslim woman in one novel , and perhaps it will be a very happy story , and in my next book , i might write about a handsome , gay professor in norway .
as long as it comes from our hearts , we can write about anything and everything .
audre lorde once said , `` the white fathers taught us to say , ' i think , therefore i am . ' '' she suggested , `` i feel , therefore i am free . ''
i think it was a wonderful paradigm shift .
and yet , why is it that , in creative writing courses today , the very first thing we teach students is `` write what you know '' ?
perhaps that 's not the right way to start at all .
we should teach young people and ourselves to expand our hearts and write what we can feel .
we should get out of our cultural ghetto and go visit the next one and the next .
in the end , stories move like whirling dervishes , drawing circles beyond circles .
they connect all humanity , regardless of identity politics , and that is the good news .
and i would like to finish with an old sufi poem : `` come , let us be friends for once ; let us make life easy on us ; let us be lovers and loved ones ; the earth shall be left to no one . ''
thank you .
we live in difficult and challenging economic times , of course .
and one of the first victims of difficult economic times , i think , is public spending of any kind , but certainly in the firing line at the moment is public spending for science , and particularly curiosity-led science and exploration .
so i want to try and convince you in about 15 minutes that that 's a ridiculous and ludicrous thing to do .
but i think to set the scene , i want to show -- the next slide is not my attempt to show the worst ted slide in the history of ted , but it is a bit of a mess .
but actually , it 's not my fault ; it 's from the guardian newspaper .
and it 's actually a beautiful demonstration of how much science costs .
because , if i 'm going to make the case for continuing to spend on curiosity-driven science and exploration , i should tell you how much it costs .
so this is a game called `` spot the science budgets . ''
this is the u.k. government spend .
the science budget is actually -- if you look to your left , there 's a purple set of blobs and then yellow set of blobs .
and it 's one of the yellow set of blobs around the big yellow blob .
it 's about 3.3 billion pounds per year out of 620 billion .
that funds everything in the u.k.
from medical research , space exploration , where i work , at cern in geneva , particle physics , engineering , even arts and humanities , funded from the science budget , which is that 3.3 billion , that little , tiny yellow blob around the orange blob at the top left of the screen .
so that 's what we 're arguing about .
that percentage , by the way , is about the same in the u.s. and germany and france .
r&d in total in the economy , publicly funded , is about 0.6 percent of gdp .
so that 's what we 're arguing about .
the first thing i want to say , and this is straight from `` wonders of the solar system , '' is that our exploration of the solar system and the universe has shown us that it is indescribably beautiful .
this is a picture that actually was sent back by the cassini space probe around saturn , after we 'd finished filming `` wonders of the solar system . ''
so it is n't in the series .
it 's of the moon enceladus .
so that big sweeping , white sphere in the corner is saturn , which is actually in the background of the picture .
and that crescent there is the moon enceladus , which is about as big as the british isles .
it 's about 500 kilometers in diameter .
so , tiny moon .
what 's fascinating and beautiful ...
what 's beautiful is , you can probably see on the limb there some faint , sort of , wisps of almost smoke rising up from the limb .
this is how we visualize that in `` wonders of the solar system . ''
it 's a beautiful graphic .
what we found out were that those faint wisps are actually fountains of ice rising up from the surface of this tiny moon .
that 's fascinating and beautiful in itself , but we think that the mechanism for powering those fountains requires there to be lakes of liquid water beneath the surface of this moon .
and what 's important about that is that , on our planet , on earth , wherever we find liquid water , we find life .
so , to find strong evidence of liquid , pools of liquid , beneath the surface of a moon 750 million miles away from the earth is really quite astounding .
so what we 're saying , essentially , is maybe that 's a habitat for life in the solar system .
well , let me just say , that was a graphic . i just want to show this picture .
that 's one more picture of enceladus .
this is when cassini flew beneath enceladus .
so it made a very low pass , just a few hundred kilometers above the surface .
and so this , again , a real picture of the ice fountains rising up into space , absolutely beautiful .
but that 's not the prime candidate for life in the solar system .
that 's probably this place , which is a moon of jupiter , europa .
and again , we had to fly to the jovian system to get any sense that this moon , as most moons , was anything other than a dead ball of rock .
it 's actually an ice moon .
so what you 're looking at is the surface of the moon europa , which is a thick sheet of ice , probably a hundred kilometers thick .
but by measuring the way that europa interacts with the magnetic field of jupiter , and looking at how those cracks in the ice that you can see there on that graphic move around , we 've inferred very strongly that there 's an ocean of liquid surrounding the entire surface of europa .
so below the ice , there 's an ocean of liquid around the whole moon .
we think it 's saltwater , and that would mean that there 's more water on that moon of jupiter than there is in all the oceans of the earth combined .
so that place , a little moon around jupiter , is probably the prime candidate for finding life on a moon or a body outside the earth , that we know of .
tremendous and beautiful discovery .
our exploration of the solar system has taught us that the solar system is beautiful .
it may also have pointed the way to answering one of the most profound questions that you can possibly ask , which is : `` are we alone in the universe ? ''
is there any other use to exploration and science , other than just a sense of wonder ?
well , there is .
this is a very famous picture taken , actually , on my first christmas eve , december 24th , 1968 , when i was about eight months old .
it was taken by apollo 8 as it went around the back of the moon .
earthrise from apollo 8 .
a famous picture ; many people have said that it 's the picture that saved 1968 , which was a turbulent year -- the student riots in paris , the height of the vietnam war .
the reason many people think that about this picture , and al gore has said it many times , actually , on the stage at ted , is that this picture , arguably , was the beginning of the environmental movement .
because , for the first time , we saw our world , not as a solid , immovable , kind of indestructible place , but as a very small , fragile-looking world just hanging against the blackness of space .
what 's also not often said about the space exploration , about the apollo program , is the economic contribution it made .
i mean while you can make arguments that it was wonderful and a tremendous achievement and delivered pictures like this , it cost a lot , did n't it ?
well , actually , many studies have been done about the economic effectiveness , the economic impact of apollo .
the biggest one was in 1975 by chase econometrics .
and it showed that for every $ 1 spent on apollo , 14 came back into the u.s. economy .
so the apollo program paid for itself in inspiration , in engineering , achievement and , i think , in inspiring young scientists and engineers 14 times over .
so exploration can pay for itself .
what about scientific discovery ?
what about driving innovation ?
well , this looks like a picture of virtually nothing .
what it is , is a picture of the spectrum of hydrogen .
see , back in the 1880s , 1890s , many scientists , many observers , looked at the light given off from atoms .
and they saw strange pictures like this .
what you 're seeing when you put it through a prism is that you heat hydrogen up and it does n't just glow like a white light , it just emits light at particular colors , a red one , a light blue one , some dark blue ones .
now that led to an understanding of atomic structure because the way that 's explained is atoms are a single nucleus with electrons going around them .
and the electrons can only be in particular places .
and when they jump up to the next place they can be , and fall back down again , they emit light at particular colors .
and so the fact that atoms , when you heat them up , only emit light at very specific colors , was one of the key drivers that led to the development of the quantum theory , the theory of the structure of atoms .
i just wanted to show this picture because this is remarkable .
this is actually a picture of the spectrum of the sun .
and now , this is a picture of atoms in the sun 's atmosphere absorbing light .
and again , they only absorb light at particular colors when electrons jump up and fall down , jump up and fall down .
but look at the number of black lines in that spectrum .
and the element helium was discovered just by staring at the light from the sun because some of those black lines were found that corresponded to no known element .
and that 's why helium 's called helium .
it 's called `` helios '' -- helios from the sun .
now , that sounds esoteric , and indeed it was an esoteric pursuit , but the quantum theory quickly led to an understanding of the behaviors of electrons in materials like silicon , for example .
the way that silicon behaves , the fact that you can build transistors , is a purely quantum phenomenon .
so without that curiosity-driven understanding of the structure of atoms , which led to this rather esoteric theory , quantum mechanics , then we would n't have transistors , we would n't have silicon chips , we would n't have pretty much the basis of our modern economy .
there 's one more , i think , wonderful twist to that tale .
in `` wonders of the solar system , '' we kept emphasizing the laws of physics are universal .
it 's one of the most incredible things about the physics and the understanding of nature that you get on earth , is you can transport it , not only to the planets , but to the most distant stars and galaxies .
and one of the astonishing predictions of quantum mechanics , just by looking at the structure of atoms -- the same theory that describes transistors -- is that there can be no stars in the universe that have reached the end of their life that are bigger than , quite specifically , 1.4 times the mass of the sun .
that 's a limit imposed on the mass of stars .
you can work it out on a piece of paper in a laboratory , get a telescope , swing it to the sky , and you find that there are no dead stars bigger than 1.4 times the mass of the sun .
that 's quite an incredible prediction .
what happens when you have a star that 's right on the edge of that mass ?
well , this is a picture of it .
this is the picture of a galaxy , a common `` our garden '' galaxy with , what , 100 billion stars like our sun in it .
it 's just one of billions of galaxies in the universe .
there are a billion stars in the galactic core , which is why it 's shining out so brightly .
this is about 50 million light years away , so one of our neighboring galaxies .
but that bright star there is actually one of the stars in the galaxy .
so that star is also 50 million light years away .
it 's part of that galaxy , and it 's shining as brightly as the center of the galaxy with a billion suns in it .
that 's a type ia supernova explosion .
now that 's an incredible phenomena , because it 's a star that sits there .
it 's called a carbon-oxygen dwarf .
it sits there about , say , 1.3 times the mass of the sun .
and it has a binary companion that goes around it , so a big star , a big ball of gas .
and what it does is it sucks gas off its companion star , until it gets to this limit called the chandrasekhar limit , and then it explodes .
and it explodes , and it shines as brightly as a billion suns for about two weeks , and releases , not only energy , but a huge amount of chemical elements into the universe .
now , there was no carbon and oxygen in the universe at the big bang .
and there was no carbon and oxygen in the universe throughout the first generation of stars .
it was made in stars like that , locked away and then returned to the universe in explosions like that in order to recondense into planets , stars , new solar systems and , indeed , people like us .
i think that 's a remarkable demonstration of the power and beauty and universality of the laws of physics , because we understand that process , because we understand the structure of atoms here on earth .
this is a beautiful quote that i found -- we 're talking about serendipity there -- from alexander fleming : `` when i woke up just after dawn on september 28 , 1928 , i certainly did n't plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world 's first antibiotic . ''
now , the explorers of the world of the atom did not intend to invent the transistor .
and they certainly did n't intend to describe the mechanics of supernova explosions , which eventually told us where the building blocks of life were synthesized in the universe .
it can also , i think , finally reveal the most profound ideas to us about our place in the universe and really the value of our home planet .
this is a spectacular picture of our home planet .
now , it does n't look like our home planet .
it looks like saturn because , of course , it is .
it was taken by the cassini space probe .
but it 's a famous picture , not because of the beauty and majesty of saturn 's rings , but actually because of a tiny , faint blob just hanging underneath one of the rings .
and if i blow it up there , you see it .
it looks like a moon , but in fact , it 's a picture of earth .
it was a picture of earth captured in that frame of saturn .
that 's our planet from 750 million miles away .
i think the earth has got a strange property that the farther away you get from it , the more beautiful it seems .
but that is not the most distant or most famous picture of our planet .
it was taken by this thing , which is called the voyager spacecraft .
and that 's a picture of me in front of it for scale .
the voyager is a tiny machine .
it 's currently 10 billion miles away from earth , transmitting with that dish , with the power of 20 watts , and we 're still in contact with it .
but it visited jupiter , saturn , uranus and neptune .
and after it visited all four of those planets , carl sagan , who 's one of my great heroes , had the wonderful idea of turning voyager around and taking a picture of every planet it had visited .
and it took this picture of earth .
now it 's very hard to see the earth there , it 's called the `` pale blue dot '' picture , but earth is suspended in that red shaft of light .
that 's earth from four billion miles away .
and i 'd like to read you what sagan wrote about it , just to finish , because i can not say words as beautiful as this to describe what he saw in that picture that he had taken .
he said , `` consider again that dot .
that 's here . that 's home . that 's us .
the aggregates of joy and suffering thousands of confident religions , ideologies and economic doctrines , every hunter and forager , every hero and coward , every creator and destroyer of civilization , every king and peasant , every young couple in love , every mother and father , hopeful child , inventor and explorer , every teacher of morals , every corrupt politician , every superstar , every supreme leader , every saint and sinner in the history of our species , lived there , on a mote of dust , suspended in a sunbeam .
it 's been said that astronomy 's a humbling and character-building experience .
there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world .
to me , it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot , the only home we 've ever known . ''
beautiful words about the power of science and exploration .
the argument has always been made , and it will always be made , that we know enough about the universe .
you could have made it in the 1920s ; you would n't have had penicillin .
you could have made it in the 1890s ; you would n't have the transistor .
and it 's made today in these difficult economic times .
surely , we know enough .
we do n't need to discover anything else about our universe .
let me leave the last words to someone who 's rapidly becoming a hero of mine , humphrey davy , who did his science at the turn of the 19th century .
he was clearly under assault all the time .
`` we know enough at the turn of the 19th century .
just exploit it ; just build things . ''
he said this , he said , `` nothing is more fatal to the progress of the human mind than to presume that our views of science are ultimate , that our triumphs are complete , that there are no mysteries in nature , and that there are no new worlds to conquer . ''
thank you .
so , imagine you 're standing on a street anywhere in america and a japanese man comes up to you and says , `` excuse me , what is the name of this block ? ''
and you say , `` i 'm sorry , well , this is oak street , that 's elm street .
this is 26th , that 's 27th . ''
he says , `` ok , but what is the name of that block ? ''
you say , `` well , blocks do n't have names .
streets have names ; blocks are just the unnamed spaces in between streets . ''
he leaves , a little confused and disappointed .
so , now imagine you 're standing on a street , anywhere in japan , you turn to a person next to you and say , `` excuse me , what is the name of this street ? ''
they say , `` oh , well that 's block 17 and this is block 16 . ''
and you say , `` ok , but what is the name of this street ? ''
and they say , `` well , streets do n't have names .
blocks have names .
all of these blocks have names , and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks .
and you say then , `` ok , then how do you know your home address ? ''
he said , `` well , easy , this is district eight .
there 's block 17 , house number one . ''
you say , `` ok , but walking around the neighborhood , i noticed that the house numbers do n't go in order . ''
he says , `` of course they do . they go in the order in which they were built .
the first house ever built on a block is house number one .
the second house ever built is house number two .
third is house number three . it 's easy . it 's obvious . ''
so , i love that sometimes we need to go to the opposite side of the world to realize assumptions we did n't even know we had , and realize that the opposite of them may also be true .
so , for example , there are doctors in china who believe that it 's their job to keep you healthy .
so , any month you are healthy you pay them , and when you 're sick you do n't have to pay them because they failed at their job . they get rich when you 're healthy , not sick .
in most music , we think of the `` one '' as the downbeat , the beginning of the musical phrase : one , two , three , four .
but in west african music , the `` one '' is thought of as the end of the phrase , like the period at the end of a sentence .
so , you can hear it not just in the phrasing , but the way they count off their music : two , three , four , one .
and this map is also accurate .
there 's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about india , the opposite is also true .
so , let 's never forget , whether at ted , or anywhere else , that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear , that the opposite may also be true .
domo arigato gozaimashita .
pat mitchell : what is the story of this pin ?
madeleine albright : this is `` breaking the glass ceiling . ''
pm : oh .
that was well chosen , i would say , for tedwomen .
ma : most of the time i spend when i get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen .
and none of this pin stuff would have happened if it had n't been for saddam hussein .
i 'll tell you what happened .
i went to the united nations as an ambassador , and it was after the gulf war , and i was an instructed ambassador .
and the cease-fire had been translated into a series of sanctions resolutions , and my instructions were to say perfectly terrible things about saddam hussein constantly , which he deserved -- he had invaded another country .
and so all of a sudden , a poem appeared in the papers in baghdad comparing me to many things , but among them an `` unparalleled serpent . ''
