CUP giant-killers Oldham have suffered a new injury blow only three days before Saturday's sixth-round clash with Super League leaders Warrington Wolves at Bower Fold.
Prop Jack Spencer damaged a hand in Sunday's superb 16-14 Championship win against Featherstone Rovers and has since learned that he has broken a bone.
He is likely to be out for six to eight weeks .
"He doesn't need surgery, but that's how long it is expected to take for the hand to heal," said coach Scott Naylor.
He can recall the rested Phil Joy, but he'll still be light in the front-row because Joe Burke is cup-tied, having previously played for North Wales Crusaders in the same competition, and dual-reg Huddersfield Giants forward Tyler Dickinson is unlikely to be available if the experience of previous rounds is a pointer.
Second-rower Danny Langtree, who suffered an ankle injury at Whitehaven, won't be ready in time but there's a chance he might be okay to face table-topping Leigh Centurions the week after.
On a brighter note, Liam Thompson should be okay after picking up a dead leg against Featherstone and there's a good chance that winger Jamel Chisholm will be cleared to play after damaging his ribs in the fifth-round win at Hull KR.
Like Oldham's Spencer, Warrington back-row man Jack Hughes, hurt in last Thursday's 40-10 win against Wigan, is also out for eight weeks with a broken hand.
He joins a long-term casualty list at the Halliwell Jones Stadium which includes Chris Sandow, Declan Patton and Jack Johnson.
Centre Ryan Atkins is doubtful with a ruptured ligament in a finger and winger Tom Lineham is waiting for a head test after being badly shaken up by a heavy hit from Tony Clubb in the Wigan game.
He is expected to pass it and to be in the cup squad.

The left-hand side (LHS) of an operator influences the type of the RHS of the operator if a type conversion can be done on the RHS. Thus, by casting the LHS to [double] the number on the RHS (75) is converted to [double] also. Then the comparison executes as expected.

Enchanting beats of DSF Tabla Beat Science, a fusion concert, is being performed for the Dubai Shopping Festival revellers.
The show boasts a stunning line-up of talent representing almost all the genres of popular music today. Scheduled for February 6, the show will be staged at Nad Al Sheba Amphitheatre in the Nad Al Sheba Club. The concert will feature Ustad Zakir Hussain on tabla, Ustad Sultan Khan on sarangi, bassist Bill Laswell, drummer/tabla player Karsh Kale, keyboardist Fabian Alsultany, DJ Disk and the electro-whizzes, Midival Punditz. Each one of these are established artists in their own right and their first performance, in Stern Grove, San Francisco, was a groundbreaking show that saw an unexpectedly high turnout. Being played for the first time in Dubai, the Tabla Beat Science is the true Jam band of the 21st century.
Tickets are priced at Dh375, Dh275 and Dh175 and the standing section is Dh75. For details contact: 971-50-4216250.
Indian tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain is to perform live in Dubai, along with Ustad Sultan Khan, Bill Laswell, Karsh Kate, Gigi, DJ Disk and Salim Merchant.
had the Dubai audience awe-struck and spellbound at the open-air arena of the Nad Al Sheba Club amphitheatre on Friday evening.
The catchline of the concert being it's all in the mix, Indian tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain and sarangi supremo Ustad Sultan Khan of Piya Basanti fame opened the musical project, the latter unleashing a profusion of spontaneous microtonal runs and buzzing-insect sounds. Hussain, an absolutely extraordinary tabla artist whose dexterity is legendary, began to pick up on Sultan's phrasing who supplied eerie vocals over a deftly-bowed sarangi. His Albela Sajan set the mood for the musical evening as the two created music of the extraordinary kind.
With the right mood set, the rest of the band appeared and the music accelerated into a hard-hitting westernised electric fusion. American bassist Bill Laswell squeezed in smoothly while Karsh Kalle exploded in a rapid-fire staccato percussion play and scratcher of the first order DJ Disk created the modern audio psychedelia with his hyperkinetic turntable. The ever-grinning Salim Merchant, recent winner of the Screen Awards for best background score in Bhoot, lent excellent keyboard support.
Last but not the least was the arrival of the majestic Ethiopian singer Ejigayehu "Gigi" Shibabaw who cut swathes of searing vocal sound and quavering, between-notes wails through the ensemble, while Hussain and DJ Disk performed a show-stopping exchange of breakneck beats and sound effects that ended with the former playing a pretty creditable drum break on his metal plate. As a cross-cultural technical extravaganza, it was dazzling.
Hussain held a central but far from dominant position in the landscape, presiding over a range of traditional Indian tabla. The Western rhythmic hemisphere came fixed on a pretty funky assortment as Karsh Kale and Bill Laswell supplied a freestyle jazz/rock rhythm section of drums and bass but what was more enchanting was the duel between the tabla and the disc. Sultan Khan wasn't far behind as he chipped in with More Piya Ke from the Zakir composed Mr and Mrs Iyer film song.
The pulse beat flowed all throughout the one-and-half-hour concert and had the tranced audience eating out of the hands of the sextet but when the music ended the audience didn't know how to react. Dumbfound, they exited the arena like children whose favourite toy had been just snatched away. Hadia Nehme, a PR executive with Hilton Dubai Jumeirah, summed up the evening thus, "Excellent, but too short". Organised by Reshma Nawaz Hussain, the concert was co- sponsored by Khaleej Times.

The death this week of civil rights icon Linda Brown, who symbolized one of the most transformative education cases in U.S. history in Brown v. Board of Education, reminds me that I lived through the desegregation of Dallas schools. And I'm better for it.
I attended Dallas ISD's T.L. Marsalis Elementary in the early 1970s, and I can't remember a single white classmate. I can recall only one white family ever on our street.
Our Glenview neighborhood in Oak Cliff was filled with hard-working parents who wanted every opportunity for their children.
That's why when it came time for me to attend high school, a big group of us black kids were bused across town to the magnet and career development program at Skyline High School. It's hard to believe today, but Skyline in 1980 was made up of a majority of white students. New district rules allowed kids from our part of town to choose to make the 45-minute trek to Pleasant Grove each day on something called a minority-to-majority transfer.
Newspaper stories from 1975 of Eddie and Phillip Tasby covered the lawsuit filed by their father, Sam Tasby, the lead plaintiff in DISD's decades-long desegregation case. The elder Tasby fought to get his sons into the neighborhood "white school."
And though Brown's case led the Supreme Court in 1954 to rule that segregated schools were inherently unequal, it was not until 1970 that a federal judge ordered Dallas ISD to integrate in the Sam Tasby case. And integrate we did.
It's very possible that our parents and teachers shielded us from the ugly that can arise in these situations, because I don't remember any fanfare, no tension. Just kids of all races and income levels from all over Dallas in class learning together and thriving. We were — and still are — proud members of the Raider Nation.
We now know that many of those white- and middle-income parents of all races later fled to the suburbs or put their kids in private schools. And we know it created a new kind of segregation in Dallas schools.
More than 60 years after Brown's case, you'd be hard-pressed to find many white students at all. In fact, they make up only 5 percent of the district's student population, black students about 22 percent and Hispanic kids about 70 percent. And nearly 86 percent of Dallas ISD students are poor.
That's disheartening and has hurt this entire city.
The Skyline Class of '82 in many ways was a precursor to what DISD is so desperately trying to re-create with its innovative transformative schools. The district is trying to reverse enrollment declines and boost achievement by encouraging a socioeconomic mix of students to go to school together.
By wooing middle-class and white families back to the district with more choices, the district has a better chance to compete with the ever-growing number of charter and private schools in the area. Families leaving the district take millions of dollars with them that could go to programs that give all kids a better chance at success.
"When you have a mix of kids, the affluent kids don't suffer and the children of intergenerational poverty do better," Superintendent Michael Hinojosa says.
Forgive my pride, but my classmates from many different backgrounds went to top-notch colleges and are successful teachers and superintendents. They're country singers, real estate brokers and comedians. They're lawyers and, yes, journalists. They're in service to their communities throughout the Dallas area and this state. And many of the friendships we made then continue today.
I'm pulling for Dallas ISD to succeed. Not just because it gave our class such a great start in life, but for all the other kids who deserve the same opportunity now and in the future.
We owe a lot to courageous desegregation icons like Brown and Tasby for helping to pave the way.

Pressured borrowers threaten to stop payments
By Rachael Gillett June 14, 2014 172
Costas Melas is urging borrowers to claim their rights in court
By Angelos Anastasiou
ASSOCIATIONS representing distressed borrowers have threatened to freeze all loan payments by the end of June in protest over the banks' practice of taking defaulting borrowers to court before exhausting loan restructuring options.
According to the head of the Borrowers' Association, Kostas Melas, banks are failing to comply with the directives issued by the Central Bank (CBC) on loan restructuring procedures. .
Following a meeting this week with House president Yiannakis Omirou, during which he briefed Omirou on borrowers' complaints, Melas said the problems faced by borrowers remain unresolved and relate to lenders' hostile attitude towards distressed borrowers. He named the Bank of Cyprus, Alpha Bank and the co-operatives as systematically failing to comply with the directives.
"Banks continue to engage courts and arbiters in order to secure the amounts they claim they are owed before attempting to restructure loans," he said. "The cooperative banks have recently created a restructuring department, but what can they tell us about the cases they refer to arbitration? It is outrageous that the co-ops claim to have started restructuring loans, while referring cases to arbitration as late as June."
Melas explained that despite a CBC directive urging banks to consider every restructuring option when handling distressed borrowers, they have tried to circumvent due process.
"Let them explain how many borrowers were referred to arbitration since the beginning of the year and why," he insisted.
Borrowers made loans in good faith based on their income and other circumstances at the time, but the state's negligence and the banks' lack of accountability caused the financial meltdown that borrowers are, once again asked to repay, according to Melas.
"This has to stop," he warned. "All the associations have agreed that unless banks' attitudes change by the end of June, we will start taking action, and that will be painful, especially to the banks."
Asked what measures might be taken, Melas revealed that the prevailing thought at this point is to withdraw all cooperation by borrowers, leaving the banks with no option than to take them all to court individually.
"I can assure you, borrowers will be the winners of such an exchange," Melas said.
Acknowledging this would be far from an ideal solution, he said it was only one of the measures being considered in order to put pressure on the government and the CBC to set the banks straight. Melas argued that failure to comply with the CBC's directives is against the law and banks could be prosecuted, while the Central Bank also has the power to impose administrative fines.
On his part, Omirou said that the views of the borrowers' association echo those of the Cyprus Consumer Association, the Bondholders' Association, the Association for the Protection of Primary Residences, and the Small Business Coalition.
"All these groups feel that banks are not compliant with the CBC's directives on arrears management and loan restructurings," Omirou said. "Banks cannot continue to act unchecked."

Hard-boiled eggs make a quick snack if you are in a hurry or can be used to sneak protein into your salad at lunch. Including hard-boiled eggs in your diet adds good fats to your body to keep your heart healthy, and they also pack important vitamins to help protect your eyes and keep your bones strong. We have included some of the health benefits of eating hard-boiled eggs daily in this article.
Hard-boiled eggs provide good fats called monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, or MUFAs and PUFAs. Replacing saturated and trans fats as much as possible with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats stabilizes your blood cholesterol levels and lowers your overall risk of heart disease.

From the California Democrats comes a reprise of what I must admit is a true surrealist classic, Carly Fiorina's Demon Sheep spot.

Magnificent! If the Dems could maintain this level of imagination, candor, and merciless sarcasm, they'd have nothing to fear in November.
I'm not convinced that all sheep aren't demons. Perhaps the joke's really on us.
We assume you're busy with your responsibilities to your students. But we eagerly await your return.
I noticed on John McLaughlin's PBS show "One On One" he was interviewing 2 people who had written books on Einstein (I think together). They will continue it next week, it's a 2 parter. The woman appeared Jewish and her last name was Calaprice (older but charming for her age) and a man named Schullman. I don't know if you ever take requests on topics on this blog but I would love if you did a post on Einstein, what you think of Calaprice and her colleague, and their books. Looked like good stuff.
Awesome. The original was an instant classic in WTF Theater.


On April 8, Israel commemorated the Holocaust, or the Shoah, as it is called there. There are probably few countries where one can attempt to understand the psychological mindset of an entire society through the context of an historical event. Terminology is a good starting point to examine the impact of the Shoah on the modern state of Israel. "Holocaust" comes from ancient Greek and means "totally burnt" (in other words, a sacrifice). This appears to have almost theological connotations. Who is being sacrificed to whom and to what end? Israelis use the word Shoah, which is Biblical Hebrew and means complete and total destruction. Modern Hebrew has integrated many words from the Romance languages (and, of course from English), but there are some expressions that have become taboo. For example, no one utilizes the term "Selectia" or selection in Hebrew, because that was the word used when the Nazis selected a Jewish victim for extermination.
The impact of the Holocaust on Israel began even before the establishment of the state. In 1945, when the magnitude of the murder started to become apparent, close to 90 percent of the Jews living in pre-state Mandate Palestine had lost a close relative. This caused the Jewish community there to unite in a revolt against British rule. The goal was to force the British to allow survivors to enter the country and to advance Jewish statehood in Palestine. During Israel's War for Independence, tens of thousands of survivors entered the country and many joined the army. By the end of the war, close to 50 percent of the Israelis in uniform were survivors. In 1960, 25 percent of the Israeli population were Holocaust survivors.
In Israel the survivors went on to raise families and their children are known as "second generation." Over 500 studies have shown the psychological impact of the Holocaust on the second generation. On the one hand, this population has suffered from post traumatic stress disorder. On the other hand, the second generation actively participated in Israel's wars, helping to create a fighting ethos for the Jewish state . Recently, a study showed that third generation -- grandchildren of survivors -- suffer more emotional stress than the overall population .
Despite the large number of Holocaust survivors in Israeli society in its early years, the subject of the Holocaust was not extensively dealt with educationally during the state's first decades. At the time, there was a need to engender a fighting ethos to meet the military challenges facing Israel. Viewed from the Israeli perspective then, it appeared that the Jews in Europe had gone to their deaths "like sheep to the slaughter," therefore the state emphasized the heroism displayed by the participants in the ghetto uprisings, as well as the partisans who fought the Nazis. These, were framed as Zionists (who wanted to make it to pre-state Israel), whose ideological values had given them the courage and convictions to fight against all odds. Survivors who arrived in Israel wanted to rebuild their lives. The local population was uninterested in hearing their stories and many survivors were too traumatized to tell them; there was an existential war going on, followed by a long period of austerity and state building (the 1950s). If questions were asked, they usually began with: "so how is it that you survived?" This was not exactly a sensitive way to encourage dialogue and a pact of silence on the subject of the Holocaust ensued; from both sides.
In 1952, Israel, the Jewish Claims Conference and West Germany signed the "Payments Agreement." The Germans agreed to pay restitution for Jewish slave labor and property stolen from Jews under Hitler. Although the agreement was controversial in Israel ("money for the blood of our relatives?" etc.) it was ratified by the Parliament. Over the course of 14 years, West Germany paid Israel three billion marks, in goods, industry and monetary instruments. Since the Israeli economy had no inherent means of survival in the 1950s, this significant economic infusion enabled the country to build a modern industrial infrastructure.
It was only in 1961, when Eichmann went on trial in Jerusalem that Israeli society began to take intense interest in the Shoah. Survivors were encouraged to give testimony and to tell their stories publically; the Israeli population was glued to their radio-sets as the trial was broadcasted. For many, it was the first time they had heard the details of the Holocaust. In 1967, on the eve of the Six Days War, many Israelis feared that the threatening Arab armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan would bring another Holocaust on the Jewish people. During the Yom Kippur War, Israelis watched on television for the first time as soldiers were being taken into captivity as POWs. The sense of helplessness led many to empathize with the Holocaust survivors in their midst and what they had endured. In the aftermath of the war, the Israeli educational system began to treat the subject of the Holocaust as a central part of Jewish history and devoted more time to its study. In the late 1980s, Israeli schools began to send their students on missions to Poland, with an emphasis on visits to Nazi extermination camps like Auschwitz and Majdanek as well as Jewish life in pre-WWII Poland. In the mid-1990s, the IDF created a program known as "Witnesses in Uniform," which brings soldiers on educational trips focusing on Jewish heritage and the Holocaust in Poland. There has been a lively public debate about the educational goals and efficacy of these travel seminars to Poland. One of the critiques has been about the focus on a particularistic view of the lessons of the Holocaust; that Israel needs to be a strong Jewish state. And that the approach that emphasizes a strong commitment to fighting racism and prejudice to prevent future genocides is frequently neglected.
In recent Israeli history, the Holocaust has played both invisible and visible political roles. In the 1980s Israel had two Prime Ministers who had virtually lost their entire biological families in the Holocaust; Menachem Begin and Yitzchak Shamir. One can only conjecture the impact Begin's family history had on him when he decided to send the air force to bomb an Iraqi nuclear plant in 1981. In the past few years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly invoked Holocaust imagery in the public discourse on what Israel's policy towards Iran's aspirations to achieve a nuclear device should be.
Two very different "lessons" have been culled from the Holocaust by Israeli society. One approach takes a particularistic stance, declaring "never again" regarding the Jewish people. The other lesson is universal and seeks to prevent the genocide of anyone, anywhere, ever again. Personally, I've always ascribed to the latter view.


Planners from South Cambs District Council have refused the retrospective application, saying the supermarket's application would make the store an overbearing presence on the High Street. Planners say this undermines the council's long-term vision to create a diverse hub for Cambridgeshire's newest community.
The supermarket's original planning permission limited the range of goods it could sell to allow other shops to be successful around it and the floor area in the shop that could be used to sell products from was limited to 2,800 square metres. The latest retrospective planning application seeks permission for the increase in the size of the floor space being used to 3,200 square metres.
The council will now issue the store with a breach of its planning condition as the store made the changes before securing permission. The breach of permission notice will give Morrison's a set period to reverse the changes.

Climate Change, Public Health, and the Law (Hardcover)
Michael Burger, Justin Gundlach
Climate Change, Public Health, and the Law provides the first comprehensive explication of the dynamic interactions between climate change, public health law, and environmental law, both in the United States and internationally. Responding to climate change and achieving public health protections each require the coordination of the decisions and behavior of large numbers of people. However, they also involve interventions that risk compromising individual rights. The challenges involved in coordinating large-scale responses to public health threats and protecting against the invasion of rights, makes the law indispensable to both of these agendas. Written for the benefit of public health and environmental law professionals and policymakers in the United States and in the international public health sector, this volume focuses on the legal components of pursuing public health goals in the midst of a changing climate. It will help facilitate efforts to develop, improve, and carry out policy responses at the international, federal, state, and local levels.

Action Collection (DVD)
Barbara Bain, Jason Culp, Elizabeth Sagal, Brian Brophy, Chuck Connors, …
Box set featuring nine action movies. In 'Skinheads' (1989) a group of Los Angeles neo-nazis are forced to move to North California when one of them shoots a black man. When they arrive in the small town they continue on their path of hatred, harrassment and destruction until they come across two resilient college kids determined to stop the skinheads' reign of violence. When a Hollywood film crew travel to shoot on an isolated desert location they are attacked by CIA-backed mercenaries. At first the film people fight back using their special effects equipment, but as the carnage mounts they sustain heavy losses, and soon the director's daughter is the only one still alive. She then teams up with one of the embittered mercenaries to better her chances of surviving. 'Hiroshima' (1990) paints a dramatic account of the race to develop the atomic bomb, the ethics and politics behind it, and the events which led to its use at the end of World War 2. In 'Emperor' (1988), Tony (Alex D'Andrea) is a Bronx street hustler, an old-fashioned, low-level operator who finds himself forced off his turf by vicious crime boss Falco (Anthony Gioia). Teaming up with an ex-con and sultry songstress, he learns a few things about the way of the world and makes an attempt to get back on the right side of the wrong side of the tracks - taking the fight back to Falco. In 'South Bronx' (1985), two young children are being brutally exploited as their foster home moonlights as the headquarters for one of the city's largest pornography rings. Amazingly, the two children escape to the streets, where they enlist the help of an undercover cop (Mario Van Peebles) and his partner to capture the porn king and his accomplices. In 'The Swap' (1969) Robert DeNiro plays Sammy Nicoletti, an adult film director who is murdered. His brother Vito (Anthony Charnota) vows to find the killer and avenge Sammy's death. When Vito is released from prison he begins his own investigation, encountering deceit and blackmail. The final days of Sammy's life unfold from a party on Long Island back to the big city. As Vito draws nearer to the truth, his own life hangs precariously in the balance. In 'Death Collector' (1975) it's 'all in the family' for a young, streetwise hood as he becomes a collector for the mob. He quickly rises, run by rung, up the ladder of the underworld in this violent crime saga. Blaxploitation legend Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson stars in 'Black Cobra' (1987). When fashion photographer Elys Trumbo (Eva Grimaldi) sees one of her neighbours being murdered by a member of the Black Cobras, a psychopathic motorcycle gang, she manages to catch the killer's face on film. The Cobras' leader comes after her, but luckily tough police sergeant Malone (Williamson) has been appointed to protect her. In 'Born To Win' (1971), George Segal stars as as an ex-hairdresser who struggles to support his expensive drug habit and to avoid arrest, turns 'narc', informing on his fellow junkies. Eventually Segal's sense of self-hatred threatens to overwhelm him. In 'Revenge' (1988), the gun-crazy right-wing terrorist group 'Strike Force' have set their sights on the deadly NK-2, which is a very large weapon indeed, and will do everything in their power to get hold of it. Vietnam vet Jason Shepherd (Roger Rodd) is approached with the job of tracking down these vicious killers and preventing them from doing any more damage. He accepts the job, but when the group gun down two of his most loyal friends, it suddenly becomes personal.

Fenestrae Non Historiatae - Ornamentale Glasmalerei Der Hochgotik in Den Regionen Am Rhein (1250-1350) (German, Hardcover)
Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England - Reward and Punishment (Paperback)
This book investigates how bishops deployed reward and punishment to control their administrative subordinates in thirteenth-century England. Bishops had few effective avenues available to them for disciplining their clerks, and rarely pursued them, preferring to secure their service and loyalty through rewards. The chief reward was the benefice, often granted for life. Episcopal administrators' security of tenure in these benefices, however, made them free agents, allowing them to transfer from diocese to diocese or even leave administration altogether; they did not constitute a standing episcopal civil service. This tenuous bureaucratic relationship made the personal relationship between bishop and clerk more important. Ultimately, many bishops communicated in terms of friendship with their administrators, who responded with expressions of devotion. Michael Burger's study brings together ecclesiastical, social, legal, and cultural history, producing the first synoptic study of thirteenth-century English diocesan administration in decades. His research provides an ecclesiastical counterpoint to numerous studies of bastard feudalism in secular contexts.

Risk Management in der Energiewirtschaft (German, Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1998)
Klaus-Michael Burger, Price Waterhouse
Liberalisierung und Globalisierung der Wirtschaft gehen Hand in Hand in unserer Zeit. Die Ara des nationalen Protektionismus in der ersten Halfte des J ahrhunderts war zugleich eine Ara wachsender Staatslenkung der Wirtschaft. GroBe Teile der Wirtschaft wurden verstaatlicht, die ubrige Wirtschaft zunehmenden Staatseingriffen ausgesetzt. 1m Sowjet-Block wurde die Wirtschaft zentral geplant und gelenkt. Die Ergebnisse dieser zunehmenden Staatstatigkeit entsprachen aber nicht den Erwartungen. In der Zeit seit dem zweiten Weltkrieg wurde deshalb zunehmend der marktwirtschaftliche Weg der Liberalisierung gegangen. Unter der tat kraftigen Fiihrung der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika entstand ein Sy stem des Freihande1s, das GATT, heute weiterentwickelt in die Welt Handels-Organisation (WTO). Ihm entsprach auch der Weg der europai schen Integration nach dem Prinzip des unverfalschten Wettbewerbs. Zu nehmend durfen nach diesen Spielregeln Auslander gegenuber Inlandem durch die jeweilige nationale Politik nicht mehr diskriminiert werden. Der Liberalisierung folgte ein phanomenaler Aufschwung des Welthan de1s. Dieser war seinerseits eine der Ursachen fiir die phanomenale Wohl standssteigerung in einem groBen Teil der Welt wahrend der zweiten Halfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Lander, die sich der Herausforde rung des intemationalen Wettbewerbs stellten, erfuhren besonders deut lich die Wohlstandseffekte einer flexiblen, schlanken, fortschrittsorien tierten Wettbewerbswirtschaft. Das deutsche "Wirtschaftswunder" unter VI Ludwig Erhard war ein erstes Beispiel fiir die Friichte eines Bemiihens um intemationale Wettbewerbsfahigkeit. Die OECD-Uinder insgesamt wuchsen durch dieses System eines freien Weltmarkts in eine Ara wach sender Prosperitat und Beschaftigung hinein."
Intergenerational Conflict in Ethnic Literature - Mothers from a Different World (Paperback)
Examination Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,5, University of Augsburg (Neue Englische Literaturen und Kulturwissenschaft), course: New English Literatures, language: English, abstract: The relationship between a mother and her children has been a prominent topic in literature ever since the genre of written fiction has become popular in the past. Mother figures from Jocasta in the ancient Greek tragedy King Oedipus and Gertrude in the Shakespeare classic Hamlet to Norma Bates in the 20th century suspense novel Psycho, to name but a few, have thrilled the audience as well as given critics a diverse subject to deal with. One reason for this ongoing fascination over centuries of literary production may lie in the extraordinarily complex relationship structure which can be developed between a mere dyad of people who happen to be mother and child. Yet, another reason for the perpetual re-invention of the issue can be found in its apparent comprehensibility: every human being has a biological mother and gets socialized by at least one focal person of reference which enables them to relate to the fictional stories easily. The unique quality of mothers in this process - as plain as it sounds - still is their ability to bear children, and by this act to establish an irreplaceable link to another human being. In the twentieth century, the socio-anthropological development has created a myriad of new possibilities and demographic changes that consequently were to find their way into literature and even have created new genres. Due to "significant shifts ...] in attitudes towards sexuality" (Allan 10), technological advance, and demographic changes, a whole new range of potential life-styles has evolved since the end of World War II. This involved deconstruction of a traditional middle-class myth, namely the breaking up of the nuclear family's near-monopoly position has ultimately led to an "increasing diversity occurring in family
The Concept of Failure Represented by the Nisei Characters in John Okada's 'No-No Boy' (Paperback)
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Augsburg (New English Literatures and Cultural Studies), course: Japanese Canadian and Japanese American Literature, language: English, abstract: A proverb says: "War does not determine who is right, just who is left." Left, that is naturally the veterans who managed not to get killed in battle and thus survived their mission. But left, that is also the ones who refused fighting in a war for their country, for whatever the reason. War and its aftermaths clearly do not take a decision on which of the two behaviors is right. It just leaves the involved people opposing each other contrarily - like left and right. In John Okada's novel No-No Boy, almost all of its characters are immediately confronted with the previously mentioned discord. Set in the Seattle of 1945, No-No Boy deals with the outer and inner conflicts of a young Japanese American, named Ichiro, who refused the draft by a government, which in his eyes deprived him of his identity as an American. The narration starts with its central character, Ichiro, who had just arrived at a bus station in Seattle and now sees himself confronted with a drastically changed and diverse Japanese American community. By telling the story from Ichiro's perspective, Okada thereby convinces his audience with an authentic depiction of "a quest for self-identity under extreme circumstances" (Huang, 2006: 152) in this fragmented and torn segment of society. Like his protagonist, Okada himself was an American-born son of Japanese immigrants, a so-called Nisei, and therefore also got evacuated from his hometown Seattle during the war years. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, Okada was in his mid-twenties and, unlike Ichiro in the novel, volunteered in the US Air Force, only to get discharged again directly after the war, in 1946 (see Huang, 2006: 152). Okada therefore can be rated a prime source f
Teaching English Pronunciation to L1 Speakers of German at Gymnasium (Paperback)
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Augsburg (Phil-Hist Fakultat), course: Teaching and Learning English Pronunciation, language: English, abstract: In the course of the last three decades a whole new prominence has been granted to the significance of foreign language (FL) learning. Due to the recent development of globalization, further emerging of multi-national enterprises and the coalescence of the European Union, this appears to be the logical consequence. Because of its nowadays widely accepted status as a lingua franca (Acar 2006) the learning and teaching of English as the most frequently spoken second language has gained importance - in Germany as well as in most industrialized countries speaking prevalently another first language (L1). In the recent past, since the end of the 19th century, changing trends have focused on different methods of language teaching, such as the ability to translate texts, correct use of grammar, or wide range of vocabulary. However, the teaching of English pronunciation finally has come back into the focus of interest since the second half of the 1980s due to the mentioned economic and social changes. Nowadays the ability to (net-) work internationally - and thus reach the "ultimate goal of communication with other speakers of the second language" (Brown 1994: 226) seems to be one of the highest goals of achievement of second language (L2) learning. During the time of almost one century of pronunciation teaching the attitude towards the issue has changed as well: as Chun (1991: 179) states in her article, the development started from a segmental and comparative sound repetition learning strategy, followed by a period of simply ignoring the topic completely from the 1960s to the early 1980s, leading finally to the up-to-date approach of teaching suprasegmentals, sentence intonation as well as other aspects of connected speech.

Sources for the History of Western Civilization, Volume II (Paperback, annotated edition)
This two-volume reader documents the history of the West, from the second millennium BC through the twentieth century. Drawing from the well known and the less obvious, "Sources for the History of Western Civilization "reflects the ongoing reassessment of the canonical texts of Western history. The volumes include generous selections of literature, letters, laws, records, biographical writings, and illustrations that collectively create a rich portrait of the West's intellectual, social, political, and material development.
Unlike other readers, "Sources for the History of Western Civilization "uses complete texts whenever feasible, including those of a number of longer works, such as "The Symposium"; Einhard's "Life of Charlemagne "and "The Communist Manifesto." Women are well represented and Western Civilization is placed within world history by the inclusion of materials from the Near East, the Americas and Asia. The selections have been newly annotated and the translations have in many cases been modernized. The headnotes introducing each author's work leave room for readers to conduct their own analyses.
Please note that both Volume I and Volume II come with the 195-page book "Commentaries "for the instructor, which contains questions for students and advanced analyses on each reading's relationship to broader historical themes. The inclusion of "Commentaries "makes "Sources for the History of Western Civilization "ideal for large courses with sections taught by newer instructors.

United States Representative, Todd Rokita, of Indiana's 4th District, honored the students of Yeshivah of Flatbush with a visit a few weeks ago. Congressman Rokita, a Republican and Chairman of the House subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, came to discuss what it is like working in Congress and how our participation in our great nation can reshape our lives.
From the start, Rokita was witty and on his feet. He was truthful and honest, and made a point to say he will speak nothing but the truth. Rokita was filled with humor, but stood his ground on his policies and was serious when the matters called for it. For example, when asked by one of Ms. Kaplowitz's AP Political Science students how he felt about ObamaCare and on his stance on the government shutdown last year, Rokita said that he still believes ObamaCare is insidious and not right. He also said he thought voting to shut down the government was the right thing to do, and said he would do it again if the situation deemed necessary. Rokita answered many more questions from many more students as well.
Rokita, who had the undivided attention and wholly participation of every student, reminded students on what it means to be an American citizen. He reminded us of Benjamin Franklin's doubt in this great republic, and said the only way we can prove that doubt wrong is if we continue to participate. Rokita's inspirational words got the room on its feet a couple of times for we were all clapping and cheering him on. Rokita and our very own Ms. Kaplowitz discussed some politics as well. Their discussion showed us students what it was really like in the political world of today, and opened many of our eyes.
This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I think all the students felt very happy and honored to have Congressman Rokita speak to the students of Yeshivah of Flatbush.

'He can be a world-class player for many years to come': Kieran Tierney heaps praise on 'mind-blowing' Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Martinelli
Gabrielli Martinelli joined Arsenal from Brazilian side Ituano in the summer
The striker has played a far bigger role than many expected him to this term
He has managed 10 goals and four assists in 26 appearances in all competitions
Kieran Tierney believes Arsenal have a future world-class player in the form of Gabriel Martinelli.
The 18-year-old joined the Gunners from Brazilian side Ituano in the summer and has made a fine impression.
He has played a far bigger role than many expected him to this term, contributing 10 goals and four assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.
Gabriel Martinelli has made an impact since joining Arsenal from Ituano in the summer
Kieran Tierney says that he has been extremely impressed by his Brazilian team-mate
And Arsenal full-back Tierney admits he has been extremely impressed.
'Gabriel Martinelli,' he answered during a Q&A on Reddit, when asked which player had caught his eye during his first few training sessions at the club.
'When I first did a full training session with the team I was put up against him and the intensity of his play was honestly mind-blowing and I thought to myself, "This is the standard I need to be at to play for Arsenal."'
Asked who in the squad he believed could be a world-beater, he answered 'Martinelli' once again.
'I think his hunger and drive and his talent together at one is more than enough to be a world-class player for many years.'
Martinelli has scored 10 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions so far this term

Larchitettura del ferro è un tipo di produzione architettonica diffusasi in Europa tra la fine dell'Ottocento e la prima metà del Novecento. I luoghi di maggiore diffusione di questa tecnologia applicata sono la Francia e l'Inghilterra, sebbene abbia avuto una buona diffusione anche in Italia.

Dall'avvento dell'ingegneria agli albori del Novecento

Lo sviluppo dell'ingegneria è essenzialmente legato ai processi di industrializzazione che si avviano in Inghilterra alla fine del XVIII secolo e che si diffondono rapidamente in molte altre nazioni.
Un passo importante nell'istituzione del nuovo ordine degli Ingegneri si ebbe nel 1794, con la fondazione della École polytechnique e l'istituzione, presso la medesima università, di un corso in Scienza delle costruzioni.
Infatti le importanti innovazioni tecnologiche legate alla Rivoluzione industriale portarono ad un notevole incremento della produzione di acciaio e ghisa, con una sensibile riduzione dei costi; questi materiali, in passato utilizzati in architettura solo per la realizzazione di elementi accessori (grappe, ancoraggi, tiranti), trovarono quindi una maggiore applicazione anche nell'edilizia, dove furono utilizzati essenzialmente per la realizzazione di ponti in ferro, d'edifici con scheletro metallico e di coperture trasparenti in acciaio e vetro. Pertanto, gli impieghi più spettacolari e importanti di questa nuova tecnologia sono ponti, serre, edifici per Esposizioni universali, capannoni industriali, stazioni ferroviarie, mercati coperti, e gallerie per il pubblico passeggio.

Tuttavia l'applicazione di questi nuovi materiali da costruzione non porterà alla formazione di uno stile completamente autonomo dai vari revival ottocenteschi, ma spesso si limiterà alla realizzazione di coperture su invasi neoclassici, neogotici o neorinascimentali.
Perfino le opere realizzate interamente in ferro non raggiungeranno mai una vera indipendenza dai gusti, dalle forme e dal senso dell'architettura eclettica ottocentesca. Caso emblematico è quello della Torre Eiffel a Parigi, dove gli archi che si aprono dalla base fino al primo livello della torre, posto a circa 50 metri d'altezza, non sono portanti, ma sono appesi alla struttura. Questi elementi, evidentemente privi di qualsiasi funzione statica, rappresentano quindi una sorta di inutile dipendenza dalle forme classiche, alla quale il progettista, l'ingegner Gustave Eiffel, fu costretto a sottomettersi.

Sul finire dell'Ottocento le costruzioni in acciaio trovano grande fortuna negli Stati Uniti d'America ed in particolar modo a Chicago, dove furono realizzati i primi grattacieli del mondo. Ben presto questa tecnica costruttiva si diffonderà rapidamente in tutto il paese, in particolare a New York, dove, col nuovo secolo, sorgeranno edifici alti anche più di trecento metri.

Stazione ferroviaria di Francoforte sul Meno, in Germania
Anhalter Bahnhof di Berlino, del 1878
Palazzo di Cristallo di Madrid
Galerie St-Hubert a Bruxelles, del 1847.

Negli Stati Uniti d'America, con l'avvio della Scuola di Chicago:
Home Insurance Building di Chicago, considerato il primo grattacielo del mondo, costruito nel 1885 e demolito nel 1931, che preannuncia la grande fortuna che questa tipologia di struttura avrà soprattutto nel Novecento proprio negli Stati Uniti
