Irish retailers are on course to record their best Christmas season since 2007.
That is according to business group Retail Ireland, who also say that most businesses are on track to hit, and even surpass their pre-Christmas sales growth targets.
Retailers nationwide are expected to take in cumulative sales of around €4.5bn over the course of this December.
Retailers say they experienced a late surge in sales this year, with a particular pick up in the last five days of trading.
Director of Retail Ireland, Thomas Burke, says strong Christmas sales are vital for stores.
"Some businesses will do about 30% of their total business in the six-week period around the Christmas season. So a good Christmas performance is hugely important to an Irish retail business.
"When you consider what's happening generally within the Irish market, in terms of some of the macroeconomic indicators that are really very strong, when you look at disposable income up about 5% in the first half of this year.
"And it's really been a good Christmas for consumers and that is likely to continue into the January sales," added Mr Burke.

This is my 5th visit to Syria and each time I come, I see more suffering. Nearly half of the population has been displaced and all are exhausted by conflict. The humanitarian needs are enormous, and in parts of the country affected by ongoing fighting these needs are in fact rising sharply.
This is especially true in hard-to-reach places. The irregularity of help is exposing these populations to risks including poor nutrition, unclean water, or inadequate medical care.
Above all, what is clear to me is that even if the conflict ends tomorrow, the need for humanitarian aid will be daunting.


At the law offices of Elkind and DiMento, P.A., we represent family members of decedents who are killed as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another. Our efforts are geared on behalf of the surviving beneficiaries or dependents of the decedent to recover full monetary compensation in order to place the beneficiaries or surviving dependents in as good an economic position as if their loved one had not died as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another.
If, unfortunately, a family member or loved one has died due to another's negligence or wrongdoing, please contact our office so that we may discuss with you your available options under the law and so that we may make every effort on your behalf to redress the wrong.

The Sun Devils had a program-defining weekend in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The Arizona State men's ice hockey team hit the jackpot against a traditional hockey program in Michigan Tech for its first-ever tournament win in program history. The Sun Devils claimed the inaugural Ice Vegas Invitational Championship, holding off the Huskies for a 3-2 victory at T-Mobile Arena.
The Sun Devils (6-12-4) dominated the first and second periods, silencing the Huskies (11-9-5) behind a 3-0 lead heading into the final period. Michigan Tech defeated No. 13 Boston College in Friday's matchup for the championship berth.
"I'm just proud of our guys, it's a good moment for those kids they earned it," said head coach Greg Powers. "They've been through a ton of adversity. Every one of them had options to go someplace else, and they wanted to come here and build this program for moments like these. They earned this special moment. I'm proud of them. I'm happy for them, and it's a really good moment for our program."
Three minutes into the championship match-up, and after killing a MTU power play, defenseman Brinson Pasichnuk forced a turnover on his own blue line for a breakaway goal, giving the Devils all the early momentum.
The next 20 minutes went scoreless, with the Sun Devils killing another MTU power play and the Sun Devils' unable to capitalize on two man advantages of their own in the first frame.
At the start of the second, the Devils replicated the first period, as freshman Johnny Walker went bardown with assists from forward Anthony Croston and goalie Joey Daccord to advance ASU's lead to 2-0. The assist to Daccord was his second of the season.
Twelve minutes later, Pasichnuk collected his second goal of the night with a shot cleared through the entire Huskies' squad, and trickled through the five-hole of MTU goaltender Devin Kero. Croston and forward Brett Gruber picked up the apples to help give ASU a commanding 3-0 lead at the end of the second period.
"It all started really with the loss against Lake Superior State," said Powers. "Again, it might have been our sharpest effort of the year, and it just didn't translate into a win. We carried that effort into this weekend and beat two really good hockey teams and came away with a trophy and that was one of our pre-season goals, one of our main goals was to win one of the two tournaments that we went to, and we accomplished that tonight."
A little over five minutes into the third, the Huskies capitalized on a power play for their first goal of the night. Less than 10 minutes later, that same line scrambled in the crease to shove their second goal past ASU goalie Joey Daccord with only four minutes left in regulation.
Daccord would finish the night with 36 saves on 38 shots, becoming his 10th game in the last 11 appearances with 30-plus saves.
Michigan Tech played the remaining minute and 56 seconds with an extra attacker, as the Huskies pulled their goaltender coming out of a timeout.
Pasichnuk, Croston and Daccord were named to the All-Tournament team, with Pasichnuk being named the tournament's MVP after totaling three goals and two assists in the two games. He is now tied atop the team in points with 14 along with Gruber.
The Huskies had two grade-A scoring chances, but were stymied by Daccord for the victory. ASU now returns home after starting the 2018 half of the season 2-0, and will host UMass-Lowell this coming weekend at Oceanside Ice Arena on Jan. 12-13.

Leadership Oriented Towards Joint Israeliness (English/Hebrew)
LivDiv November 14, 2018
In the new edition of our "Diversity Network" series we feature Nelly Markman. Nelly is scholarship holder in a program of the Mandel Leadership Institute in Israel. Nelly is an educator and youth counselor. For the last few years she has been head of the youth counselor department of the Israel Hebrew Scouts Movement. In her essay she describes the process of social transformation that the Israeli society has gone through and the requirements for a new culture of leadership that come along with it.
The Hebrew version of the essay is available here.
Translated from Hebrew by Nicholas Yantian
In the last years, Israeli society underwent a process of transformation. From a society consisting of a clear majority group and several minorities, it developed into a society based on a strong mixture of cultural groups, the numerical gap between them gradually narrowing. This process has numerous consequences and manifests itself in different spheres of life.
Israeli society has gone through a fascinating social process. In order to describe it briefly, I will present two important points of reference relevant to this process. The first cornerstone is the establishment of the State of Israel, Ben Gurion's concept of "statism" and the melting pot policy implemented by him with an iron fist. In retrospect, this cornerstone played an absolutely essential role in the process. A common civil consciousness, which later would be coined "statism"[1] [In Hebrew "mamlachtiut"], is probably one of the more important pillars in the process of state and nation-building, and it is doubtful if Israel could have accomplished so much without this cornerstone. However, some of its consequences were painful – cultures that were excluded, groups that were marginalized, and people who found themselves outside any sphere of influence. This, in consequence, gave rise to a second cornerstone in the process – identity politics. The moment Ben Gurion's "statism" collapsed, voices, cultures, and identities previously silenced emerged.
One of the most articulate expressions of this entire process and the appearance of identity politics is the formation of a leadership representing a certain cultural group and the absence of one seeking a common ground for all groups, a sort of overriding leadership attempting to create a joint "Israeliness", and to produce a safe space for the multitude of identities Israeli society consists of.
When examining the goal of creating a leadership bent on a common Israeliness, the following questions must be asked from the onset: Who is this kind of leader, and what are his basic features?
In order to describe a leader with these characteristics, I will first concentrate on some fundamental insights a leader aspiring to such a common Israeliness should acquire for himself and also for others:
Identity means knowledge and as such constitutes an asset. A host of identities also entails a multitude of knowledge and enables a better and more precise view of reality.
Each person by virtue of being human has certain natural and basic rights with which he is born. He does not obtain them from anyone, and they are indispensable. This first basic liberal claim actually encapsulates the essence of liberalism in the broadest sense according to the view of John Locke.
And while these basic premises have derived their origins from the liberal and multicultural tradition, this third and last basic premise has its roots in the democratic tradition. According to this premise, dialogue is the foundation and the adequate way to make decisions, to shape a common space and to enable similar and different people to live together.
And now, after having made these basic assumptions, which serve as a foundation for the actions of a leader advocating a common Israeliness, I can now outline, on the basis of these assumptions, the description of a leader and formulate a model for his development.
A leader advocating a common Israeli identity is someone who respects a multicultural, liberal and democratic tradition, gives it space and regards these traditions as complimentary. In this vein, a leader advocating joint Israeliness recognizes the common potential of these three traditions to provide more precise answers to the complexity of Israeli society. Such a leader is imbued with self-awareness and a high degree of critical social and personal faculties. They enable him at every given moment to evaluate a situation and to make decisions based on multiculturalism and liberalism, causing people as little damage as possible and granting them the highest possible respect. This should be a leader who from a broad perspective – and perhaps we better use the term "bird's eye view" – can promote a fair and respectful policy and make professional choices on the basis of facts. These are sometimes based on a multicultural way of thinking. This is the right attitude for a certain reality while in other cases the emphasis lies on liberal thought, as the damage created by other choices is too hard to bear. I will call this – for the purpose of this intellectual exercise – a practical value-oriented choice.
Such a leader should be a person who understands the complex process Israeli society has experienced. This important and necessary process included the melting pot and identity politics, and arrived at the conclusion that neither of these can provide an adequate solution. We require a leader with a new agenda, one who comprehends the presence of the two former aspects, respects them and builds a more balanced future reality, a more pacified existence where the two aspects join, thus creating a view of the world that comprises both. A leader advocating joint Israeliness also understands the significance of a common consciousness, a common story and a common ethos. He knows that the point of balance between the two traditions I described is located at a juncture where the damage caused to this ethos or common story is as small as possible.
[1] Statism (in Hebrew "mamlachtiut") is a concept that advocates the centrality of the state in every aspect of public and political life [translator's note, NY]

If you have been following me on social media, you might have seen my post about a cute native-looking handbag. I'm a huge fan of bags and honestly, when I saw this handbag from Hyacinth Manila I thought it was cool. Cooler than the round Bali bags that I see on my feed all the time. So I decided to check it out.
Turns out, there's more to their bags than just looking pretty and classy.
But before I get into that, here's the bag I got from them. It was sent via-Lalamove in an eco-bag, which I really appreciate. I was a little worried that they would send me my bag wrapped in plastic, but they didn't which is a big plus for me.
As for the inside of the bag, they gave me the option to have it lined. I thought about it and almost decided that I'd love my bag to be as it is. However, thinking of the stuff I would put inside, I might have a hard time cleaning it in the future. So, ultimately, I have decided to have the insides lined with fabric.
It looks very simple, yet I couldn't deny that it also looks classy and pretty. Tim actually likes it and said that it looks really sturdy and of high quality to which I agreed. Oh, and the bag also came with a note from the owner, Danielle Wassmer!
Hey Mia, sure! Let me know if you'd specifically you'd like to know something else. Just a backgrounder, I grew up in Los Banos Laguna. People who live by the bay actually had a reoccurring problem with water lilies. Flooding is one of the major problems in our town (and the rest of the towns around the bay).
The program was actually launched by DTI and the local municipality. They gathered stay at home moms and taught them how to create bags, wallets and baskets out of these.The fishermen are actually the ones who gets the lilies from the lake. It's then given to moms. These moms would dry it and flatten it manually. Then the strands are weaved to these bags.
I know this isn't the only store out there that has done it or has a similar story, but for some reason, I fell in love with their bags and their efforts to help stay-at-home moms in Laguna, and not only that, they're helping the entire community to rid of the water lilies that used to contribute to flooding in their area.
How inspiring, right? Well, there's more to that! I got a little more curious, so I did a quick Google search on Hyacinth Manila and found an article from the Manila Times website that was posted last week. Danielle, if you are reading this, I apologize for the mild stalking. LOL I just wanted to give this feature the justice it deserves.
Turns out that the business is inspired by Danielle's late mom's former project and advocacy to help stay-at-home moms in Laguna to have an extra income. Initially, Danielle planned to have a leather bag business but seeing how risky and expensive it can be, she took a friend's advice to check out local bags being sold at a local store along the highway.
Upon seeing for herself the native bags made from water lilies (or water hyacinths) she remembered her mom, and when she met with the suppliers they realized that she was the daughter of the late "Tita Woowoo", their nickname for Danielle's mom. They then shared stories about how her mom helped and taught them to make the bags and established their local business.
It was a really heartwarming story that made me cry just a little. So, I guess, in some ways, my bag is not just a regular bag… it's a way to commemorate and pay homage to Danielle's mom, and of course, to continue supporting the local stay-at-home moms in Laguna.
When I first saw the bags on Instagram, I told myself that the owner is probably a genius. But when I spoke to her and researched her business more, I have come to admire her for continuing her mom's advocacy to help the local community in Laguna.
Check out Hyacinth Manila on Instagram @hyacinthmnl and see for yourself how beautiful their bags are.

A Natural Disaster es el séptimo álbum de estudio de la banda británica Anathema. Fue lanzado el 3 de noviembre de 2003 en el Reino Unido y el 24 de febrero de 2004 en los Estados Unidos con el sello Music For Nations. A diferencia de trabajos anteriores, este álbum sólo despliega un tema donde las guitarras pesadas tienen real preponderancia, que es Pulled Under at 2000 Meters a Second. En cuanto a los demás, el estilo del álbum puede ser catalogado dentro de una esfera minimalista y lento, siempre muy atmosférico con retoques progresivos.

Lista de canciones

Notas
El estribillo de la canción "Pulled Under at 2000 Metres a Second" es muy similar al de la canción "Sheep" del disco Animals de Pink Floyd.

A friend of mines newborn caught the RSV virus. And it has been awful for the little one. Now I have a newborn and I am constantly stressed of her catching it from visitors. First of all, I don't allow visitors. But immediate family do insist. I make sure they wash there hands, sanitize, etc. Although, they get really offended about my approach. Also, with a toddler that attends daycare- I make sure to change her clothes when she gets home. (Wish is all pretty consuming) But a large part of me is horrified of toddler catching a cold from daycare, then there's the newborn, how in the world does all of that work out? My husband said I'm Stressing for no reason. But times of changed, diseases have gotten worse. How do you all handle a scenario such as this one?
Awww, I'm sorry you're so worried and stressed. It is true that RSV can be awful. But, most babies don't get it. I think you're doing everything right to protect as much as possible, but try not to stress about it! Yeah, your toddler will eventually bring home something and the baby will catch it, but it's rare for babies to get dangerously sick. And some exposure to germs will help build up their immune system for the rest of their lives (not that I think you should deliberately expose! Just know that when it happens, it'll be ok). You've got this Mama!
Hi Amy, baby is now 1 week old. And my toddler seems under the weather. Which means she will be glued to me. Praying to get through this without the baby getting sick.
Do you breastfeed? I have three very close in age (17 month, 20 months), two of which were born in the winter. It is stressful, but I am a stay at home mom, so I have to go out with the kids to storytimes and play areas and parks, and I mostly just keep baby attached to me, keep my kids vaccinated, and wash their hands before they touch baby and I haven't had much trouble. I do personally believe that breastfeeding keeps my little ones immune systems up since I'm sure I get whatever everyone ends up with. I know not everyone is able to nurse, but if you are it is something that for me took that edge of the stress off. Hang in there!
Yes, I do breastfeed exclusively.
I have a 6 month old and still make my family wash their hands before holding my baby! (They also get offended) I'm a bit of a germaphobe and when my baby was younger I would stress sooo much about my toddler possibly passing something down to the baby. My toddler has been sick about 3 times since my baby was born and my baby didn't get sick once. I breastfeed him and I think I have that to thank because my antibodies were passed through the breast milk.
Cris that is so comforting to hear. Was your toddler interactive with baby though? How did you handle sick toddler and baby in the same room? I feel bad telling my toddler to stay away from baby's face because you are under the weather, try not to sneeze by baby. Wash your hands, change your cloths. The new baby thing is all so new to her. She was so excited to have a baby brother and now there's all sorts of restrictions. I feel bad. But it's for the greater good. I pray for sanity, patience and strength.
My toddler has shown so much affection towards his baby brother since the day we brought him home from the hospital! So it was extremely difficult for me to tell him stay away from the baby when he was sick. I didn't want to him to think he was doing anything wrong. Before I could even catch my toddler he would run to the baby to give him a kiss with a runny nose! With time it will get easier, I promise. My toddler is once again sick and with my baby being a little bit bigger I'm not so worried. The first three months is really scary. My husband thought I was crazy and my family would just laugh at me but being a mama you want the best for your kids!
Cris- so did the newborn get sick the first month? I'm more so worried about that first month being that they are so fragile.
Nope! It is pretty scary, while they are so little and fragile. But don't worry you will all be fine!
My baby is 4 days old and I'm breastfeeding. How do I know when and if she is getting enough ?
New mom here! I have a 2 month old who recently quit napping for longer than 20 mins, any tips?

This is really good news for Motorola fans.
One of the big questions coming out of Google's announcement of the Android One Moto X4 coming to Project Fi was what impact this had on the release of a "normal" Motorola version in the U.S. Thankfully, Motorola has confirmed to Android Central that there will be a standard, unlocked, Motorola software version of the Moto X4 hitting the U.S. this year.
That means it would no longer be part of the Android One program, and would offer all of the Motorola-specific features and tweaks so many of us enjoy using. On the other side of the coin, it's also likely to have more relaxed standards in terms of a commitment to software updates.
It looks like a really nice phone, but it's probably not worth changing carriers for.
This is a big sigh of relief for those who were intrigued by the idea of the mid-range Moto X4 being a great phone at a reasonable $399 price, but weren't willing (or able) to switch carriers for it. While the Android One Moto X4 is most likely unlocked (like the Nexuses and Pixels before it) and able to be used on other carriers after purchase, it isn't so different from the standard Moto X4 that it's worth jumping through the hoops of buying one through Project Fi with no intent to use it there.
Motorola isn't offering any more specifics in terms of pricing, release time frame or retailers, but we can expect that the $399 price will carry over to the regular U.S. model when it's released. We'd expect Motorola to let the Android One news die down a bit and make an independent announcement in October.

Part of a historic monument alongside Portsmouth harbour has reopened as an arts centre after a £1.75m revamp.
Empty arches at the Hot Walls, used in the past as an artillery barracks, have been converted into 13 working studios for artists, designers and creative companies.
The Hotwalls Studios aims to boost tourism and the city's arts sector.


"This is one of those things where you would ask, Why would someone do thisto a school, let alone a Christian school?" lower school gym teacher Darrell Ange said. Around the pick up side of the lower school, a basketball goal stands alone at the end of the parking lot. Typically, students will use the goal for warm-ups and exercises in physical education; tailgaters might play the half-court at a cookout before a soccer game or afterschoolers who have finished their homework might try to keep their own score among the frenzy of flying balls.
This summer, while students swum and slept and sunk baskets at home, the old, worn goal was shattered and rendered useless by a few well-thrown bricks. The only useful piece left was the net.
For Ange, his concern lies in why rather than who. "Unfortunately, being Christian sometimes makes us a bigger target. All we need to do is remember to pray for the state of that person's heart." Ange found the situation "heartbreaking for not only kids at school, but kids from the church and the neighborhood [who] were enjoying it," so he set out immediately to reconstruct the beloved basketball goal.
Upper school teacher Will Chancellor came up with the idea to use Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) board, because of its low maintenance and durability, as a backboard. After donating the materials, lower school instructional coach Becky Clark applied the three-helmet Christ Covenant logo and attached the board to the original frame.
Three-Person Play Lower school teachers Darrel Ange and Jon Murray stabilize the new basketball goal at the lower school while upper school teacher and headmaster Robert Lee secures the screws.
Now, the goal stands taller in the same place and is used daily by students, the church and neighborhood. "I like that we use the basketball goal even more now! P.E. is never boring, it's always super fun," fourth grader Grayson Barsanti said.
The basketball court is one of the several benefits the lower school has compared to the upper school campus. Kids can socialize while they play and improve their basketball skills during school. For fourth grader Gabriel Newsome, the half-court supplies him with the opportunity to practice his jump shot.
The finished goal features an innovative PVC backboard and spirited CCS sticker.

Grants to Go Back to College for an MBA
By Jennifer Williams
Grants for Academic Libraries and the Unemployed
Grants for a Single Mom's Business
Grants to Start Business Incubators
Where To Get College Grant Money for Women in Business
Forensic Accounting Analysis vs. Audit
Graduate students have it tough when trying to find grant money for their extended education, but the money is out there if you know where to look. "U.S. News & World Report" calculates that a full 40 percent of graduate students receive at least some money they don't have to pay back. Call them scholarships, employer initiatives or competitive awards — any money that does not require repayment is a grant, and every bit of grant money counts in giving the Master of Business Administration student a leg up on expenses after graduation.
School-Funded Grants
The Free Application for Student Financial Aid, or FASFA, is a must for any new or prospective MBA student seeking any type of financial aid. It asks only for information about the prospective student's financial situation. Other need-based financial aid forms required by some schools, such as the Need Access Form and the College Board CSS Financial Aid Profile, include spousal and parental financial information in the need analysis, thus making it harder for students to qualify for grant or scholarship money from that school. When speaking to financial aid office representatives from various MBA programs, ask if grant money is available from any private endowments the program may be associated with. Endowment money may be need based, or it may be based on minority status or competition. Ask for specifics on how to qualify for any endowment grants, and start the application process as soon as possible.
Employer Education Grants
Employers like employees who make the organization look good, and employees with credentials, like an MBA, do just that. An employer may be willing to pay for all or part of the MBA program for employees who have been accepted into an accredited program. Human resources departments maintain information about any MBA tuition payment or reimbursement programs the organization offers. If none is in place, ask about starting one. Consider pitching the idea to individual members of the organization's board of directors. These individuals are often established members of the local professional community and understand the value of making graduate opportunities available to talented employees.
Minority Grants
Minority organizations exist to foster the success of particular ethnicities in education and business. The National Black MBA Association's Graduate Scholarship Program provides $15,000 in scholarship money for MBA candidates accepted into accredited programs. The application process includes an essay and photographs. Awards are based on funds availability. The National Hispanic MBA Association offers $2,500 to part-time MBA students and $5,000 to full-time students of accredited MBA programs. The evaluation process takes into consideration work experience and community service.
Competitive Grants
The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management has grown from an ethnic-based scholarship organization to one that fosters all individuals of talent. The consortium awards full-tuition scholarships based on merit. The competition is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Similarly, the Fulbright Business Scholarship is a merit-based award from the U.S. Department of State in connection with business institutions based in Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands and Australia.

Q: Multiple parent-child scope event trigger issue I have a directive for parent scope, I also have another directive for child scope. In a template, I have several parent-child scope. Like this.
ParentScope1
 - ChildScope1
ParentScope2
 - ChildScope2

If I change a value in Parent, I will broadcast it to Child. I am using $rootScope.$broadcast to broadcast from parent. I am using $rootScope.$on to accept this change in child.
My problem is:
Now, If I change a value in ParentScope1, it will broadcast to ChildScope1. Then I will change a value in ParentScope2, it will broadcast to ChildScope2, but it will also broadcast to ChildScope1.
I want: Change a value in ParentScope1, it will broadcast to ChildScope1. Change a value in ParentScope2, it will broadcast to ChildScope2. I search online for some time but did not find the solution for it. Maybe I did not use the correct keywords for searching it. Please advise. Thank you.

A: In your definition of directive set
scope : true

then use
$scope.$broadcast
$scope.$on

this should probably works fine
post your code so we have a better view of the problem

A: You are looking for communication between parent and child directive, you can use below approach but both directive will be tightly coupled using this-
Require a controller - Get the handle of same node of parent node directive controller.
Require: '^parnetDireName' is used to find the controller on parent node. Without ^, it will find for same node only. '?' is used when controller may not be available.''?^", "?^^", "^^". Fourth parameter of link function is used to get the controller. It can use the controller prop/method. You can also access multiple controller because Require will have array - require: ['^dir1','^dir2']. Link function will have cntrl array and it can be access through array element in the same sequence
Pre link and post link function for nested directive -

*

*Default link function is post link function.

*Use keyword post to define it explicitly

*Child post link function is executed first if parent and child both has Post link function

*Parent link function is executed first if both parent and child has pre-link function.

*Controller is executed before link function

---------------------------------Another decoupled way ---------------------
There are three ways to setup the relation  between directive scope and containing controller scope-
 - Directive with shared scope with containing controller. Any new
    item/modified item by directive will be part of parent scope. It is
    default or scope:false
 - Directive with inherited scope. Any new item added by directive will not be visible by containing controller. Directive scope can read all data from parent scope. Use scope:true property to activate it.  Child can see parent data and can override or create new variable.
 - Isolated scope. Both scope cannot read each other data. Object mapping is required to read the parent data. Directive scope mapping will have object name and same object will be passed from html. There are three ways to receive the parameter-
 - Complete object Data -> '=' is used
 - Simple value like flag as a String- '@' is used . '@sampleVar', where sampleVar is the name of variable in the html.
            Scope {
            cntrollerStrVarName: '@htmlStrVarName'
            }
 - Function parameter - '&' is used to pass the parameter. Method parameter can be overridden using ({paramName: 'value'})

Your Majesty, Prime Minister, fellow heads of state and leaders of government, ministers parliamentarian, members of Congress, to the youth leaders from Europe and America, to all of you who had anything to do with or were ever touched by the Marshall Plan. And I'd like to say a special word of appreciation to two distinguished Americans -- former ambassadors, General Vernon Walters and Arthur Hartman, who worked on the Marshall Plan as young men, who have come here to be with us today.
This is a wonderful occasion. We are grateful to the Queen, the government and the people of the Netherlands for hosting us and for commemorating these 50 years. The words of Mr. Sedee reach out to us across the generations, no matter where we come from or what language we speak. They warn us of what can happen when people turn against one another, and inspire us with what we can achieve when we all pull together. That is a message that we should emblazon in our memories.
summon the spirit of the Marshall Plan for the next 50 years and beyond; to build a Europe that is democratic, at peace, and undivided for the first time in history, a Europe that does not repeat the darkest moments of the 20th century, but instead fulfills the brightest promise of the 21st.
Here in the citadel of a prosperous, tolerant Dutch democracy, we can barely imagine how different Europe was just 50 years ago. The wonderful pictures we saw, with the music, helped us to imagine: some 30,000 dead still lay buried beneath the sea of rubble in Warsaw; 100,000 homes had been destroyed in Holland; Germany in ruins; Britain facing a desperate shortage of coal and electric power; factories crippled all across Europe; trade paralyzed; millions fearing starvation.
Across the Atlantic, the American people were eager to return to the lives they had left behind during the war. But they heeded the call of a remarkable generation of American leaders -- General Marshall, President Truman, Senator Vandenberg -- who wanted to work with like-minded leaders in Europe to work for Europe's recovery as they had fought for its survival. They knew that, as never before, Europe's fate and America's future were joined.
The Marshall Plan offered a cure, not a crutch. It was never a handout; it was always a hand up. It said to Europe, if you will put your divisions behind you, if you will work together to help yourselves, then America will work with you.
The British Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin, called the Marshall Plan "a lifeline to sinking men, bringing hope where there was none." From the Arctic Sea to the Mediterranean, European nations grabbed that lifeline, cooperating as never before on a common program of recovery. The task was not easy, but the hope they shared was more powerful than their differences.
The first ship set sail from Texas to France with 19,000 tons of wheat. Soon, on any given day, a convoy of hope was heading to Europe with fuel, raw materials and equipment. By the end of the program in 1952, the Marshall Plan had pumped $13 billion into Europe's parched economies. That would be the equivalent of $88 billion today. It provided the people of Europe with the tools they needed to rebuild their shattered lives. There were nets for Norwegian fishermen, wool for Austrian weavers, tractors for French and Italian farmers, machines for Dutch entrepreneurs.
Today we see the success of the Marshall Plan and the nations it helped to rebuild. But, more, we see it in the relations it helped to redefine. The Marshall Plan transformed the way America related to Europe, and in so doing, transformed the way European nations related to each other. It planted the seeds of institutions that evolved to bind Western Europe together -- from the OECD, the European Union and NATO. It paved the way for reconciliation of age-old differences.
Marshall's vision, as has been noted, embraced all of Europe. But the reality of his time did not. Stalin barred Europe's eastern half, including some of our staunchest allies during World War II, from claiming their seats at the table, shutting them out of Europe's recovery, closing the door on their freedom. But the shackled nations never lost faith and the West never accepted the permanence of their fate. And at last, through the efforts of brave men and women determined to live free lives, the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain fell.
Twenty-first century Europe will be a better Europe, first, because it will be both free and undivided; second, because it will be united not by the force of arms, but by the possibilities of peace. We must remember, however, that today's possibilities are not guarantees. Though walls have come down, difficulties persist: in the ongoing struggle of newly free nations to build vibrant economies and resilient democracies; in the vulnerability of those who fear change and have not yet felt its benefits; to the appeals of extreme nationalism, hatred and division; in the clouded thinking of those who still see the European landscape as a zero-sum game in terms of the past; and in the new dangers we face and cannot defeat alone -- from the spread of weapons of mass destruction to terrorism, to organized crime, to environmental degradation.
Our generation, like the one before us, must choose. Without the threat of Cold War, without the pain of economic ruin, without the fresh memory of World War II's slaughter, it is tempting to pursue our private agendas -- to simply sit back and let history unfold. We must resist that temptation. And instead, we must set out with resolve to mold the hope of this moment into a history we can be proud of.
democracy; where they have the right to control their lives and a chance to pursue their dreams; where prosperity reaches clear across the continent and states pursue commerce, not conquest; where security is the province of all free nations working together; where no nation in Europe is ever again excluded against its will from joining our alliance of values; and where we join together to help the rest of the world reach the objectives we hold so dear.
The United States and Europe have embraced this mission. We're advancing across a map of modern miracles. With support from America and the European Union, Europe's newly free nations are laying the cornerstones of democracy. With the help of the USIA's Voice of America, today's celebration is being heard freely by people all across this great continent.
In Prague, where listening to Western broadcasts was once a criminal offense, Radio Free Europe has made a new home, and an independent press if flourishing. In Bucharest, democracy has overcome distrust, as Romanians and ethnic Hungarians for the very first time are joined in a democratic coalition government.
From Vladivostok to Kaliningrad, the people of Russia went to the polls last summer in what all of us who watched it know was a fully democratic, open, national election.
We must meet the challenge now of making sure this surge of democracy endures. The newly free nations must persevere with the difficult work of reform. America and Western Europe must continue with concrete support for their progress, bolstering judicial systems to fight crime and correction, creating checks and balances against arbitrary power, helping to install the machinery of free and fair elections so that they can be repeated over and over again, strengthening free media and civic groups to promote accountability, bringing good government closer to the people so that they can have an actual voice in decisions affecting their lives.
We have also helped new democracies transform their broken economies and move from aid to trade and investment. In Warsaw, men and women who once stood on line for food now share in the fruits of Europe's fastest growing economy, where more than nine of 10 retail businesses rests in private hands. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the international financial institutions have channeled to the new democracy some $50 billion to strengthen the foundations of their market economies. And as markets have emerged, another $45 billion in private investment has flowed from places like Boston and London to help support enterprises from Budapest to L'viv.
more fully the benefits of prosperity, working to make the business climate as stable and secure as possible, investing in their economies, sharing entrepreneurial skills and opening the doors of institutions that enable our community to thrive.
Again let me say America salutes the European Union's commitment to expand to Central and Eastern Europe. We support this historic process and believe it should move ahead swiftly. A more prosperous Europe will be a stronger Europe and also a stronger partner for Europe's North American friends in America and Canada.
Nations that tackle tough reforms deserve to know that what they build with freedom they can keep in security. Through NATO, the core of transatlantic security, we can do for Europe's East what we did in Europe's West -- defend freedom, strengthen democracy, temper old rivalries, hasten integration, and provide a stable climate in which prosperity can grow.
We are adapting NATO to take on new missions -- opening its doors to Europe's new democracies, bolstering its ties to non-members through a more robust partnership for peace, and forging a practical, lasting partnership between NATO and a democratic Russia -- all these things designed to make sure that NATO remains strong, supports the coming together of Europe, and leads in meeting our new security challenges.
Yesterday in Paris the leaders of NATO and Russia signed the historic Founding Act that will make us all more secure. We will consult, coordinate and, where both agree, act jointly, as we are doing in Bosnia now.
Now, consider the extraordinary milestone this represents. For decades, the fundamental security concern in Europe was the confrontation between East and West. For the first time, a new NATO and a new Russia have agreed to work as partners to meet challenges to their common security in a new and undivided Europe, where no nation will define its greatness in terms of its ability to dominate its neighbors.
Now we must meet the challenge of bolstering security across outdated divides, making the NATO partnership work with Russia, continuing NATO's historic transformation.
In less than six weeks, NATO will meet again in Madrid to invite the first of Europe's new democracies to add their strength to the Alliance. The prospect of NATO membership already has led to greater stability, for aspiring members are deepening reform and resolving the very kinds of disputes that could lead to future conflict.
Partnership for Peace and create a new Euro-Atlantic partnership council so that other nations can deepen their cooperation with NATO and continue to prepare for membership.
But let us be clear: There are responsibilities as well. Enlargement means extending the most solemn guarantees any nation can make -- a commitment to the security of another. Security and peace are not cheap. New and current allies alike must be willing to bear the burden of our ideals and our interests.
Our collective efforts in Bosnia reflect both the urgency and the promise of our mission. Where terror and tragedy once reigned, NATO troops are standing with 14 partner nations -- Americans and Russians, Germans and Poles, Norwegians and Bulgarians, all in common cause to bring peace to the heart of Europe. Now we must consolidate that hard-won peace, promote political reconciliation and economic reconstruction, support the work of the International War Crimes Tribunal here in The Hague, and help the Bosnian peace make the promise of the Dayton Accord real.
Today I affirm to the people of Europe, as General Marshall did 50 years ago: America stands with you. We have learned the lessons of history. We will not walk away.
No less today than five decades ago, our destinies are joined. For America the commitment to our common future is not an option, it is a necessity. We are closing the door on the 20th century, a century that saw humanity at its worst and at its most noble. Here, today, let us dedicate ourselves to working together to make the new century a time when partnership between America and Europe lifts the lives of all the people of the world.
Let us summon the spirit of hope and renewal that the life story of Gustaaf Sedee represents. He has a son, Bert, who is a bank executive. Today, he is helping to fulfill the legacy his father so movingly described -- for just as the Marshall Plan made the investment that helped Holland's industry revive, Bert Sedee's bank is helping Dutch companies finance investments in Central and Eastern Europe. Just as the American people reached out to the people of his homeland, Bert Sedee and his colleagues are reaching out to the people in Slovenia, Latvia, Bosnia and beyond.
will not live to see -- that this generation rose to the challenge to be shapers of the peace.
I hope that we will all do this, remembering the legacy of George Marshall and envisioning a future brighter than any, any people have ever lived.


He is an unlikely polemicist, this round-faced man with curly white hair who admits that former students sometimes recall him as "a jolly elf" and whose office wall bears the sign "I keep trying to lose weight, but it keeps finding me."
But Luke Timothy Johnson, the Woodruff Professor of New Testament at Emory University's Candler School of Theology here, is at the center of the newest round in what have been called the Jesus Wars, a fracas among scholars and church leaders about the person whom 225 million Americans and 1.5 billion people around the world call Saviour and Lord.
In a stinging polemic called "The Real Jesus" (HarperCollins San Francisco), published in January, Professor Johnson used unusually blunt language to describe much of the new scholarship seeking to revise traditional portraits of Jesus. "Self-indulgent charade" and "pure flimflam" were a few of his choice terms, along with "poppycock," "fraudulent" and "hucksterism."
Now he finds himself being interviewed on network news programs and featured in newsmagazines as a "traditionalist" or "hero among conservative Christians" leading "the counteroffensive" against research on the historical Jesus.
Counteroffensive is accurate enough, but Professor Johnson is a far cry from the fundamentalists who believe that the Bible should be read as literal fact whenever possible and who therefore reject the new scholarship from the outset.
Like the researchers he is criticizing, he agrees that the Gospels were not factual accounts in the modern sense but instead narratives written by people whose lives had been changed by their conviction that Jesus had truly been resurrected -- people who recast memories of Jesus in light of that conviction and the religious questions it raised.
A former monk who loves monasticism, an active Roman Catholic who has found himself barred from teaching in some Catholic institutions, a member of the world of Scripture scholars whose working premises he is now challenging, Professor Johnson is a walking illustration of how unsatisfactory labels like conservative and liberal can be.
An orphan at the age of 11, he entered a Catholic seminary at 13 and became a Benedictine monk six years later. "I was a typical child of the 60's but didn't realize it," he said in a recent interview. "I had joined a 1,500-year-old commune out of the same impulse" -- a rejection of competition and ambition in favor of an egalitarian, communal way of life.
"If it weren't for my hormones, I'd still be a monk," he said with a grin. At Yale, where he earned a Ph.D., he left the priesthood to marry a divorced woman with six children. That reduced his hopes of teaching at any Catholic seminary or even at some Catholic universities. "Here I was," he said with the same grin, "excommunicated and, by church standards, living a life of public adultery."
Professor Johnson has plenty of scholarly allies who have been grumbling about the new wave of studies on Jesus, and especially about the gee-whiz attitude in some sectors of the press that are suddenly discovering questions already debated for two centuries.
But even his allies divide over his ultimate claim: that Christian faith cannot be based on history, good or bad, at all. By "history," he means not what actually happened 2,000 years ago but what scholars today, even at their best, can reconstruct about what happened 2,000 years ago.
The churches are suffering an "academic captivity," this academic writes, by letting scholars make historical research the norm for religious faith. His argument, which has quickly moved to the forefront of the Jesus Wars, has brought to the surface a tug-of-war between the churches and the universities over who should have the last word on interpreting the Bible.
Professor Johnson insists that he wrote "The Real Jesus" reluctantly, only after deciding he had been naive to think that the ordinary processes of academic evaluation would "assure that good scholarship drives out the bad."
What especially changed his mind was the continuing impact of the Jesus Seminar, a scholarly enterprise with the public relations flair of Madonna. At a series of meetings beginning in 1985, the 40 to 70 self-selected biblical scholars in the seminar have cast votes with colored beads -- red, pink, gray or black -- to decide what words in the Gospels were Jesus' own, similar to His, possibly His or ideas that later followers put in His mouth.
The Jesus of the Jesus Seminar was a master of aphorisms, quips and Zen-like parables that challenged conventional thinking. He was not a prophet, nor the Messiah, nor the lead actor in any divine drama. He did not preach a new kingdom or a coming judgment. He was possibly crucified for His religious nonconformism but certainly did not rise from the dead.
Professor Johnson also takes on other Jesus researchers, including John Dominic Crossan ("Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography"), whose Jesus is the itinerant peasant leader of an egalitarian movement, and Marcus Borg ("Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time"), whose Jesus is a shaman, a charismatic healer and a social prophet.
What these new portraits of Jesus have in common, Professor Johnson complains, is that, first, they reject or minimize elements that the Christianity of ancient creeds considered essential: Jesus' origins, crucifixion and Resurrection, and His messianic message of salvation, judgment and a coming kingdom of God.
Second, he says, they appear with a fanfare of publicity that highlights their departure from tradition and positions the authors as rebels defying church-led efforts to stifle the truth about Jesus and the Bible.
And despite appeals to historical objectivity, Professor Johnson says, many of these studies are pursuing their own agendas. He cites the call of Robert W. Funk, the academic publisher who founded the Jesus Seminar, for "a new narrative of Jesus, a new Gospel."
Professor Johnson also criticizes the new Jesus studies on technical grounds, maintaining that they systematically ignore evidence from Paul's Epistles while relying heavily on speculation about gnostic writings and other texts that were rejected by the early church.
Professor Johnson's targets have not been quiet. Members of the Jesus Seminar have defended their literally colorful voting system as a necessary form of public education. Dr. Funk has promised to make his case in a book that HarperCollins San Francisco will rush into a 50,000-copy first printing in October. And Professors Crossan and Borg confronted Professor Johnson in a public E-mail debate that HarperCollins, the publisher of all their books, sponsored throughout Lent.
The debate was dominated by Professor Johnson's question about the relationship between history and faith.
For scholars and writers like those in the Jesus Seminar, the "real Jesus" is a figure hidden behind the New Testament's faith-encrusted accounts. He can be retrieved only by extracting from the Gospels and other, nonbiblical texts the bits and pieces deemed reliable and then reassembling them in a pattern recognizable to the contemporary mind, like revolutionary or faith healer.
Professor Johnson calls that effort misguided. Historical research can confirm the broad patterns of Jesus' life and character, he believes, but to push beyond those limits into detailed reconstructions of the historical Jesus is to venture into speculation more likely to reflect the historians' preferences than solid evidence.
For Christians, Professor Johnson contends, the "real Jesus" is the one experienced in the present rather than the past: the "resurrected Jesus," whose impact both shaped the Gospels in the first century and is "manifested in the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit among believers" in the 20th.
In Professor Johnson's view, the experience that secular academics see as obscuring the "real Jesus" should be seen by Christians as a key to Him. Although faith in the Resurrection certainly provoked revised interpretations of Jesus' life, Professor Johnson says, "that was the correct interpretation," perhaps not in the details but in the essential meaning.
For Christians, he concludes, "the normative Jesus" will never be the pre-Resurrection figure retrieved from behind the texts -- always a hypothetical portrait, even when the retrieval is done better than the current ones -- but the Jesus of the Gospel texts.
Responding to Professor Johnson in their E-mail debate, Professors Borg and Crossan repeatedly challenged the necessity of choosing between the Gospel texts and historical reconstructions. Christians, they argued, would best encounter the "real Jesus" in an interplay among the authorized texts, history and present experience.
Scholars who share Professor Johnson's antipathies to the Jesus Seminar also wonder whether he has gone too far in separating faith from history. In an exchange last January with Professor Johnson at the Candler School of Theology, Richard B. Hays, professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, defended the pursuit of the historical Jesus.
"Intellectual integrity demands it," Professor Hays said. "We want to know whether our preaching is somehow continuous with events that happened in time and space and in some sense faithful to those events, or whether it is simply fantasy.
"Johnson seems to affirm that Jesus can be known in a fully satisfactory way through His presence in the church now," he said, a position Professor Hays questioned.
"By pressing the question about the Jesus of history, we seek to avoid falling into a sentimental morass of religious subjectivity," he said, or into the "unchecked ideology" that may lurk behind the church's conventional images of Jesus.
Professor Johnson, for his part, takes a very measured view of the fuss he has stirred up.
"I'm not satisfied that national media exposure is the solution," he said. "But at least fundamental issues are being taken up in a more fundamental way."
