German Police in the Nazi State

After Hitler became chancellor of Germany, he persuaded his cabinet to declare a state of emergency and end many individual freedoms. Here, police search a vehicle for arms. Berlin, Germany, February 27, 1933.

When the Nazis came to power in January 1933, many policemen remained skeptical of the party and its intentions. Nazi agitation, especially in the latter years of the Weimar Republic, had been subversive and the police had been investigating both the Nazis and the Communists with vigor. Nevertheless Hitler posed asSD), two of the most radical and ideologically committed Nazi organizations. Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, also became the chief of all German police forces. His associate, Reinhard Heydrich of the SD, became at the same time the head of the Security Police, charged with safeguarding the Nazi regime. Nazi ideology became part of all police activities. The police were central figures not just in maintaining public order, but in combating the so-called racial enemies designated by the Nazi state. It was in this context that "preventive police action" took on such terrible consequences. The SS, SD, and police were the primary perpetrators of the Holocaust.


Hillary Clinton Says 'Never, Ever Give Up' During 1st Speech Since Election Loss Clinton was honored by the Children's Defense Fund in DC.

 -- Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night made her first public appearance since delivering her concession speech a week ago today, making an emotional plea for the country to focus on helping underprivileged children while acknowledging the pain she feels after her unexpected failure to defeat Donald Trump for the presidency.

Speaking at the Children's Defense Fund's 26th annual Beat the Odds Celebration in Washington, D.C., Clinton said, "I know this isn't easy. I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America was the country we thought it was. The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But pleasegoing up to her," Clinton said, "and sitting next to her and taking her in my arms and saying, 'Look, look at me and listen. You will survive. You will have a family of your own, three children. And as hard as it might be to imagine, your daughter will grow up to be a United States senator, represent our country as secretary of state and win more than 62 million votes as president of the United States.'"

She continued, "America is still the greatest country in the world. This is still the place where anyone can beat the odds. It's up to each and every one of us to keep working to make America better and stronger and fairer."

Clinton's speech highlighted an issue she made a central theme


and neglect and provide access to health care and education. When she graduated from law school, Clinton went to work for the CDF and touted her commitment to the organization in the early stages of her campaign. She included the group in her nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The CDF event highlighted the stories of five high-achieving students who have overcome adversity to excel academically and give back to their communities. Each of the high school seniors was given a $10,000 scholarship and a laptop computer to help them pay for college and navigate the admissions process.

Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump surprised many because most polls before Election Day showed her in the lead. But exit polls showed voters were looking for an outsider who couldWhile extending the payroll tax cut through the end of last year, members of Congress last fall took what many feel was a long overdue whack at the cost of their retirement plan. They bumped up the share that their pension plan will take, saving taxpayers $15 billion.

They also made sure that none of it applied to themselves. Anyone elected before the law went into effect would pay in at the old rate.

For all the talk you hear from Capitol Hill about running government more like a business, Congress has a retirement plan that would make any Fortune 500 executive blush. Members can retire younger, having contributed fewer of their own dollars, than almost any worker in the country—even more than the generous terms other federal workers get.

"It's


not keeping pace with what's happening in the private sector," said Veronique de Rugy, a senior researcher with George Mason University's Mercatus Center. "It's not sustainable."

It's inaccurate, in fact, to refer a single retirement plan, since any senator or representative elected after 1986 has access to three: Social Security, a 401(k) program that matches 5 percent of their contributions up to $17,500, and a defined-benefit pension called the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS), which as the name implies covers anyone paid from the federal till.

The original dataset from 2011 featured 4557 relevant persons (Bührers, spouses and their children/grandchildren). Up to 2017 the dataset had grown up to 9223 relevant persons, i.e. neatly doubled! This provided ample reasons to redo – with a couple of substantial improvements – the original mapping exercise.

starter Max Scherzer. But the sellout Oakland Coliseum crowd of 36,385 sprung to life when Coco Crisp led off the inning by reaching base on a error by Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder, and then Stephen Drew stepped to the plate and drilled a ball into the gap in right-center and all the way to the wall.

Crisp scored with ease to cut Oakland's deficit to one, but Drew and third-base coach Mike Gallego took a chance.

The A's shortstop, who spent a good portion of this season and the second half of last year recovering from a broken ankle, didn't stop at second base.

When Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson fielded the ball off the base of the wall and relayed to second baseman Omar Infante, who delivered a striketo Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera, Drew was tagged out and the A's rally was squelched until the pivotal ninth.

From where the A's sat in the dugout and bullpen, it was a risk they expected to take, considering how aggressive they've been all season.

"He hit the ball in the gap," reliever Sean Doolittle said. "They've got to run a long way to catch it. The grass in the outfield is slick. That ball's going to be wet when he gets it. It's going to take a perfect relay throw to get him. We're going to put the pressure on them and make them make the play. I mean, they made a great play. But that's the aggressiveness that we're all about. Absolutely."

Gallego explained the decision as a sort


space. Subsequent research found that the human balance system is completely tied to the emotional system, he said. Because balance is based in the ears and vestibular system, with emotions centered in the brain, he thought that sound could be used to activate neural sleep centers.

He found that the “whole curve from arousal to sleep has a lot of input from the balance system,” and that low frequency vibrations could influence the vestibular system and encourage sleep.

It needs to be efficient, reliable, safe, spacious, quick, clean, modern, maneuverable, compact, comfortable, versatile, convenient, quiet, rugged, and easy to drive, among other things. With this lengthy list of demands in hand, the Taxi Commission invited automakers from across the globe to compete for the honor of supplying NYC with its famous yellow cabs.

Nissan designers and engineers went straight to work, developing their own vision of the Taxi of Tomorrow. The result was the NV200, a vehicle that both draws on features from across Nissan’s comprehensive range of fuel-efficient vehicles, and features dozens of innovative, creative solutions to the challenges a NYC taxi faces every day.

The competition lasted a grueling two years and featured impressive designs, vehicles and ideas from across

The first candidates to be jointly licensed and commissioned (licensed by the Bishop and commissioned by the District and Circuit) are the leaders of Reside, a Fresh Expression of Church in Loughborough led by a Methodist and Anglican working in partnership. At the annual Called Together service in October 2013, where all licensed, authorised ministries in the Diocese are commissioned, each will receive the Bishop’s license followed by a local Methodist service of commissioning.The Los Angeles Film Critics Association named Call Me By Your Name its Best Picture of 2017, extending the momentum for the Sony Pictures Classics title, which also took top honors at last week’s Gotham Awards.

A24’s The Florida Project was runner-up for Best Picture. (See full list of winners and runners-up below.)

Deliberations of candidates in 16 categories took more than four hours as critics debated the merits of a strong field across the board. Call Me, directed by Luca Guadagnino, has been on a lot of awards-season shortlists since even before its world premiere at Sundance. Set in 1983, the adaptation of André Aciman’s novel tells the story of burgeoning romance in a 17th century Italian villa. Armie Hammer stars along with Timothée Chalamet, who was chosen as


Best Actor by the LAFCA.

Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water) and Guadagnino shared the Best Director prize. According to a tweet by Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Times, only a handful of votes separated the top five directors, with Dee Rees (Mudbound), Sean Baker (The Florida Project) and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) all receiving nearly as many votes as del Toro and Guadagnino. Gerwig received the critics group’s New Generation prize.

Fox Searchlight’s The Shape of Water had a strong overall showing, with Sally Hawkins taking Best Actress honors and Dan Laustsen winning for Best Cinematography.

Max Von Sydow was recognized with a career achievement award.

The LAFCA has recently been an Oscar Best Picture bellwether. The group picked Spotlight in 2015 and Moonlight last year — both wenton to win the marquee award. Over the LAFCA’s 42-year history, though, it has forecast only nine Best Picture winners and three of them came in the first five years out of the gate. Before Spotlight, the L.A. critics last matched up with the Academy in 2010 with The Hurt Locker, but the last alignment before that was back in 1994 with Schindler’s List.

Nothing resembling a Schindler’s-style favorite has come forward in an awards race that remains wide-open at this early stage. Critics groups have tended toward indie fare, with the New York Film Critics last week naming Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird its film of the year, while the National Board of Review went with Steven Spielberg’s The Post.

At the Gotham Awards last Monday, Call Me By Your


Name and Jordan Peele horror blockbuster Get Out were the two big winners. Aside from a screenplay win for Peele, Get Out did not emerge as a major force among the L.A. critics.

The LAFCA will hand out prizes at its annual gala on Jan. 13 at the InterContinental hotel in Century City.

the following seven key areas of learning which incorporate opportunities to learn about themselves and their place in the wider world.

They are:
• Language, Literacy and Communication
• Mathematical Development
• Creative Development
• Knowledge and Understanding of the World
• Physical Development
• Personal and Social Development
• Bilingualism and Multi-Cultural Understanding

At Key Stage Two the central focus of the curriculum is on further developing the essential skills of literacy and numeracy with a balance of both subject specific and thematic teaching approaches. To develop these skills pupils will be taught English, Mathematics and Science as core areas of learning and will be applying their skills across the curriculum in the following subjects:

Religious Education and Collective WorshipThrough Religious Education we aim to develop an awareness of the importance of religion and to appreciate andrespect different religious beliefs.There are three acts of collective worship per week and on the other two days short assemblies are held in class. There are regular visits from the local Minister and occasionally from representatives of charitable organisations. Parents and family members are invited to join the staff and children in class assemblies throughout the year. Parents who wish to withdraw their children from such activities will need to inform the school of their decision.

WelshEnglish is the language of the day to day business of the school, but some Welsh is also used as a language of communication with the pupils. As a school within Wales we pride ourselves on celebrating our country’s language we pride ourselves on celebrating our country’s language and culture through drama, music,


as a second language.

Sex EducationA Personal Development and Relationships Policy and scheme of work have been approved by the Governors. The school has a progressive sex education programme tailored to the age and the physical maturity of pupils. This covers basic life processes and human life development. Teachers arrange separate sessions for boys and girls in Years 5 and 6 to discuss puberty and emotional development. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from all or some sex and relationship education lessons. This can be done by arrangement with the Headteacher.

Physical Education

In Physical Education sessions we aim to develop the skills essential for taking part in a variety of sporting activities.The school has a good sized hall for indoor work, adequate outdoor hard surfaces for class lessonsanother suite and in the Dome's general seating or "stadium area." A similarly worded provision required ACOG to offer tickets to holders of a "club seat license."
Early in 1994, Empire's senior vice president informed Dome officials that Empire was dissatisfied with the suite license because of ticket allocation problems and other difficulties, and he stated Empire's intention to find another party to take over the remainder of its lease. In October 1995, Empire reached an agreement with List Holders, Inc. ["LHI"] to assume the remainder of its lease. GWCC, Empire, and LHI executed a document styled "Consent to Full Assignment and Cancellation of Executive Suite License Agreement [Non-Participation Agreement] Release of Licensee" in which Empire agreed to transfer "all of [its] right, title and interest in the referenced

Frank Lampard says becoming Chelsea manager would be a dream

Frank Lampard has not ruled out replacing Michael Emenalo as Chelsea's technical director.

Lampard is reportedly being lined-up by the club after Emenalo's surprise departure from the role on Monday, ending a 10-year stint with Chelsea.

After retiring from playing in February, Lampard has been undertaking his coaching badges with Chelsea's U18s coach Jody Morris, and has admitted he would love to make a permanent return to Stamford Bridge.

"I worked with Michael for seven or eight years and his role at the club coincided with the most successful period in Chelsea's history so I think he deserves a lot of credit from that," said Lampard.

"Everyone at Chelsea wishes him well as he moves on.

Organizations
The American Men's Studies Association (AMSA) traces the roots of an organized field of men's studies to the early 1980s and the work of scholars involved in an anti-sexist organization called the Men's Studies Task Group (MSTG) of the National Organization for Changing Men (NOCM) which included Martin Acker, Shepherd Bliss, Harry Brod, Sam Femiano, Martin Fiebert, and Michael Messner. However, men's studies classes also pre-date NOCM, and a small number were taught in various colleges across the United States throughout the 1970s. Conferences such as the Men and Masculinity conferences sparked the creation of newsletters and journals, such as the Men's Studies Newsletter (and its successor, Men’s Studies Review),men respond to the mythopoetic men's movement (and the mythopoetic leaders answer) .

This study focuses on the translation of child-parent psychotherapy, an evidence-based intervention shown to improve the mental health and behavioral outcomes of infants and toddlers exposed to maltreatment, into the juvenile court system. The Infant Mental Health-Court Team Program (IMH-CTP) is an innovative, systems-changing model in which the child and family court becomes the platform for assuring timely referrals to child-parent psychotherapy, monitoring treatment, and ensuring that the child's emotional well- being is at the center of judicial decision-making and permanency planning. The model was developed and implemented in the Dependency Division of the Miami-Dade Juvenile Court (11th Judicial Circuit).

1903 when William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson first painted their
names on the gas tank of the first Harley-Davidson (H-D) Motorcycle.
Originally designed to be a racing bike, the H-D bike won its first
race in 1905 and never looked back.
	   As the most popular motorcycle in America, H-D is constantly
growing in an effort to keep pace with ever-increasing demand, and to
keep ahead of the research curve on new product development. The new
millennium appears to bode well for H-D as they have announced plans
to spend approximately $250 million on capital projects in 2001 alone.
This includes grassroot plants in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and
will position H-D to maintain its lead in the U.S. motorcycle
industry. In addition


to planning brand new facilities, H-D is also
expanding and upgrading their existing plants and research centers. In
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, H-D is planning a 75,000 square foot (sqft)

393 new positions, something the Governor of the state is fully
behind. "The company is expanding and upgrading equipment at two of
its Wisconsin facilities," says Wisconsin Governor Scott McCallum.
"The quality of its products has helped raise Wisconsin's viability

Kenneth Stevens, 84 - August 26, 2009

Kenneth Lee Stevens, 84, of Farnam died Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2009, at Lincoln.
Memorial services were held at the Farnam United Methodist Church on Sunday, Aug. 23, with the Rev. Tess Hufford officiating.
Stevens was born Sept. 18, 1924, at Dwight, to Everett Lee Stevens and Lillian (Hunt) Stevens. The family lived in the York area on farms at Dwight and Benedict.
He then resided in York with his grandparents while his father was in a military hospital in South Dakota for a year. The family moved with their three children to a ranch on East Deer Creek, north of Ingham, in the fall of 1934. He attended the Ingham schools, graduating in 1941 as valedictorian.
Stevens enrolled at the University of Nebraska on a regentsscholarship until the fall of 1943 when he enlisted in the Army.
He served in World War II with the 36th Infantry Division out of Texas in Austria, France and Germany where he received the Purple Heart.
Following his honorable discharge in 1945, he returned to the university where he met his future wife, Joan High of Bertrand. The couple were married on May 31, 1949. Following his wife’s graduation, they returned to live in the Ingham and Farnam areas. Three daughters were born to the union. His wife preceded him in death on Dec. 28, 1990.
Stevens was a rancher and a rural mail carrier, starting with a 25-mile route from Ingham and finishing 31 years later with 150 miles out of Farnam and Eustis. He also authored a book


on the history of Ingham.
He married fellow adventurer Betty Thompson Hoppe on April 2, 1994, and together they visited 49 states, Canada and Mexico.
Stevens avidly pursued water and grass conservation, always looking for ways to be a better custodian of the natural resources in his care, according to family members.
He was a lover of family, good food, nature and adventure as well as history, reading and enjoying the hills of Lincoln County, the family said. He is remembered for his kindness and sense of fun.
Stevens was preceded in death by: his parents, Everett and Lillian; his first wife, Joan; sisters—Gwen and Dorothy.
Survivors include: his wife, Betty of Farnam; his daughters—Nancy (John) Gumb of McCook, Betsy (Kyle) Stevens-Spilker of DeWitt, and Sara (Kevin) Stevens-Stehl of Bertrand; grandchildren—Erin (Dallas) SchwenkaThough socially and morally controversial, euthanasia- of humans or animals- has been practiced for centuries across cultures ([@B34]). Recently, in a few countries in the world, euthanasia of human adults has been decriminalized with the law in these countries specifying conditions under which this practice is permitted. Belgium is one of these few countries: In 2002, euthanasia, defined as a deliberate life-ending act by another person at the patient's request, became legal. Twelve years later, in 2014, Belgium became the first country in the world to legalize child euthanasia, that is, to extend the possibility of legal euthanasia to minors, without any age limit---whereas, technically, in the Netherlands, euthanasia of minors is legally not extended under the age of 12. Both adult and child euthanasia are generally accepted

Lawmakers, not staff, drive the organization, he said, and on two occasions �she has refused to follow instructions and operated under her own plan.�

Senate Democrats had their suspicions.

�My understanding is there are people who have concerns with the director and the only way to get rid of the director is to get rid of CIIC and reconstitute it,� Sen. Charleta B. Tavares of Columbus said before word of the deal became public.

Saul�s committee, with a staff of five, inspects and develops hard-hitting reports on adult and juvenile prisons, covering staffing, medical care, prison violence and inmate gangs. The agency�s findings often expose flaws in the state prison systems.

In an amendment quietly jammed into unrelated legislation, the Ohio House proposed replacing the


CIIC with a new committee that could perform prison inspections only with specific approval from the speaker of the House and president of the Senate. That would have been a dramatic departure from the investigative autonomy the committee now enjoys.

Faber was not happy about Saul�s letter, but it was only his latest issue.

�We�ve had problems with CIIC for years,� he said. �The structure doesn�t seem to work very well.�

The reaction to the news was swift from a number of people and agencies, including state Rep. Mike Curtin, D-Marble Cliff, who called it �unnecessary, a raw power play.�

Ohio Public Defender Tim Young said the agency is �Ohio�s best protection against a federal lawsuit regarding prison conditions.�

That’s a position that the staff at GMFB was sure to back with some sound statistics, displaying a graphic that demonstrated no other duo in the game has amassed more than their 41.5 combined sacks over the past two seasons. A fact that is only bolstered by the reality that Bosa missed all of training camp as a rookie and only appeared in 12 games due to injury.

In fact, Bosa had his gloves and jersey put on display in the Pro Football Hall of Fame last season after becoming the first player in NFL history to record 19 sacks in his first 20 games. However, Bosa is 15 pounds lighter than Watt andCIVA

The seventh annual Training Sychronization Conference (TSC) was held and hosted by the Republic of Bulgaria. TSC in Sofia was running from 21 February till 24 February 2017 with the main goal to gather Educational and Training (E&T) specialists from the NATO Command Structure, NATO Force Structure HQs together with Allied and Partner Nations at the same place. The meetings were conducting simultaneously within five separated groups regarding to the latest developments across the whole NATO Training Spectrum. The Partnership Training and Education Centers Commandant’s Conference (PTEC CC) was established as a one of the groups.

The presence of the Armed Forces Academy of general Milan Rastislav Stefanik during the TSC was represented by Major Martin Chovanec who mainly took a part at the PTEC CC. Currently the PTECcommunity has been including 31 educational and training institutions, but only 22 were presented in Sofia. During the general part of the conference there were echoing issues such as statistics, course developments, PTECs cooperation, Quality Assurance Process and English language proficiency of the course participants. In order to achieve better results concerning to conferences´ s outputs after the general part the representatives of the PTECs were divided into the syndicates where they talked about the mentioned issues in more details.

Two additional events of the PTEC community are also planned this year - PTEC Working Group in Almaty in Kazakhstan and Market Place in Brussel.


Partnerships where the Partnership comes to an end when one of the partners dies. Also, the directors and former directors of such a company are jointly and severally liable with the company for the debt of the company. Once a director leaves, he is no longer liable for the debt of the company incurred after he left, but he will be liable for debt incurred by the company whilst he was in office.

PARTNERS’ DUTIES

To fulfil the requirements of a Partnership Agreement, partners have certain duties which are listed below:

a) Each partner must contribute to the Partnership what he/she should as per the Partnership Agreement – this refers to the cash/labour/asset/skill that each partner must contribute;

b) Each partner must act in good faith towards other partners in accordance withup of a deceased estate following a specific stipulation in the deceased person's will that a trust must be set up. Testamentary trusts are usually created to hold assets on behalf of minor children, since minor children cannot in terms of South African law inherit anything (in the absence of a trust, assets from the deceased estate left to minor children are sold, and the money is paid to them when they reach adulthood).

Bewind trusts are created as trading vehicles providing trustees with limited liability and certain tax advantages.

There are two types of living trusts in South Africa, namely vested trusts and discretionary trusts. In vested trusts, the benefits of the beneficiaries are set out in the trust deed, whereas in discretionary trusts the trustees have full discretion

Tax treatment for trusts

The Tax Rates for Trusts

Special trusts are taxed at the rates applicable to individuals. A special trust is one created solely for the benefit of a person affected by a mental illness or serious physical disability which prevents that person from earning sufficient income to maintain himself, or a testamentary trust established solely for the benefit of minor children who are related to the deceased. Where the person for whose benefit the trust was established dies prior to or on the last day of the year of assessment or the youngest beneficiary, in the case of a testamentary trust, turns 18 (2013: 21) years of age prior to or on the last daypersons from a tax perspective.

However, the fundamental basis pertaining to the taxation of trusts, being the so-called conduit or flow through principle, remained the same. This conduit principle has the effect that income and gains will flow through to the beneficiaries of a trust on the basis that the income would also have retained its character. For instance, in a South African context dividends are exempt from tax. Should dividends be vested in a beneficiary during the same year of assessment that it has accrued to the trustees, the dividends would retain their character in the hands of the beneficiaries and thus also be exempt. From a dividends tax perspective (being levied at the rate of 15 percent in respect of dividends received), SARS has also indicated that

1956, we had our choice of six home-delivered dailies, including The Charlotte Observer.

Newspaper growth was slowed by the first disruptive new technology, AM radio. KDKA in Pittsburgh made the first broadcast of presidential election returns on Nov. 2, 1920, and soon radio stations were competing with newspapers for advertising. They also competed for readers’ time, and newspaper penetration began a decline that has never reversed. But it was a slow decline. Household penetration did not fall below 100% until the 1960s. By 2010, it was 39%.

Despite those losses, papers remained prosperous through most of the 20th century. Circulation, bolstered by the growing population, kept rising. It grew even while technologies entered the field: broadcast television, FM radio and cable television. The introduction of offset printing with its lowerweekday readership among adults was 80%. The number of copies sold, ad salesmen argued, was less important than how many people actually read or looked through the paper. But that number, too, began to fall. By 2012, it was down to 43%. Seeking a more impressive number, the industry came up with a seven-day measure — the percentage who read or looked at a newspaper or its electronic edition or visited its website at least once in a seven-day period. In 2012, it was 68%.

The main factor keeping publishers prosperous in the 20th century was consolidation, shaking down to one paper in all but the largest markets in the 1980s. The Winston-Salem Journal was founded as an afternoon paper in 1897 by Charles Landon Knight, a young lawyer


from Bluefield, W.Va. Eventually, he would become a successful publisher in Akron, Ohio, and his sons would found the company that became Miami-based Knight Ridder Inc., the second-largest newspaper group of its day. But his Winston-Salem venture didn’t work out, and the Journal passed through a series of owners. One was Owen Moon, who combined the paper with the Twin City Sentinel in 1925 to create a morning-evening operation. Its ownership remained local until 1969, when it was sold to Media General, which closed the evening paper in 1985.

The morning Greensboro Daily News, founded in 1909, and the afternoon Record, launched in 1880, became part of the same locally owned company in 1930. It published separate morning and evening papers until its sale in 1965 to Norfolk-Portsmouth Newspapers,aimed at mass markets, and its share of newspaper ad revenue decreased 36% in the second half of the 20th century. Retail fell 23%. But classified advertising, the most targeted form, more than doubled.

No new medium ever drove an old one out of business. The old just found niches that kept them going in some form. For example, movie theaters split into multiplexes, using more screens to offer esoteric films to smaller audiences. Buffett’s early interest in smaller newspapers showed he appreciates this reality. He bought Sun Newspapers, a group of neighborhood weeklies in Omaha in 1968, and their consolidated staff won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for local investigative reporting after it exposed the concealed multimillion-dollar assets of Boys’ Town, the Catholic charity on the outskirts of Omaha.


The papers were sold in 1980 and closed three years later.

The present portfolio reflects this preference for smaller papers, including three nondailies in Rockingham County: The Reidsville Review, The Eden News and The Messenger in Madison. But a metropolitan paper can be specialized, too. That recognition drove Buffett to take a large position in The Washington Post in 1973. His move might have been partly sentimental — he had been a Post paperboy when he attended Woodrow Wilson High in northwest Washington in the 1940s. The company’s share price, he told publisher Katharine Graham in a letter she shared in her 1997 memoir, Personal History, was “dramatically undervalued.” He then added: “But the twin attraction to the undervaluation is an enterprise that has become synonymous for quality incommunications. How much more satisfying it is going to be to watch an investment in the Post grow over the years than it would be to own some garden variety company which, though cheap, had no sense of purpose.”

Graham’s sense of purpose was inspiration for a major research project after I joined the journalism faculty at UNC Chapel Hill in 1981. It was a study of the role of publishers in setting ethical standards and was funded by the American Society of Newspaper Editors. (Reading the handwriting on the wall, the organization changed its name in 2009 to the American Society of News Editors.) ASNE’s interest was aroused by Graham’s resolute support of her newsroom during its Watergate investigation. To find out how typical she was, I designed


latter. Buffett demonstrated his grasp of that in his acquisition of The Buffalo Evening News in 1977.

Like other afternoon papers in blue-collar markets, the Evening News was dominant weekdays, but its morning rival had the only Sunday paper. Nationally, Sunday papers, with their array of specialized content, were getting fatter. Buffett gave the Evening News resources to improve the news-editorial product and launch a Sunday edition. Just four years later, the morning Buffalo Courier-Express published its last edition. That gave the Evening News a monopoly. It followed a morning and evening schedule until 2006, when it dropped the evening edition and became The Buffalo News.

Buffett frequently cites as a model Walter Hussman, a Chapel Hill journalism graduate and third-generation newspaperman who became publisher of the Arkansas Democrat indidn’t have heart for the battle and shut the paper down in 1991. Al Neuharth had retired as CEO by then, but he still paid close attention. I asked him about it in 2002 while researching my 2004 book, The Vanishing Newspaper. “Walter Hussman beat our tail by putting news in the paper and having the leaders of the community, including the advertising community, believe in what he was doing,” recalled Neuharth, who died in April at age 89. “Dillard’s department store, headquartered in Little Rock, they believed in his credibility so much they pulled all their ads out of our Gannett newspaper. Big hit, big hit.”

But Hussman was an outlier. Coping with technological disruption by making newspapers better had become a radical idea by the end of


The prime minister, David Cameron, the justice secretary, Chris Grayling, and the home secretary, Theresa May, as well as some senior judges have for the past year been stressing their opposition to the judicial supremacy of the European court of human rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg.

Conservative ministers have repeatedly promised a party manifesto detailing a new human rights policy for the coming election. The long-awaited document is expected to deal with the complex relationship between the UK courts, the European convention on human rights and the Council of Europe, which oversees the Strasbourg court and the ECHR itself.

The removal from the cabinet in the latest reshuffle of both Ken Clarke, the Europhile former minister without portfolio, and the liberal-minded attorney general, Dominic Grieve QC, appears to have cleared theway for Eurosceptic instincts to dominate Tory thinking on human rights.

What is the Council of Europe?

Made up of 47 states, the Strasbourg-based council is the political body that governs the running of the ECHR. It contains foreign ministers as well as representative parliamentarians from every member country. Every state in Europe, except Belarus, is a member. The UK was a founding signatory in 1949.

Who created the European convention on human rights?

Drafted in 1950 by the newly established Council of Europe, the convention is a statement of basic human rights intended to ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust and the second world war could never return. The UK, and in particular the Conservative MP Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, were prominent in drawing up the convention, which lists fundamental rights


such as the right to life and prohibition of torture.

How does the European court of human rights (ECHR) operate?

The ECHR was established by the convention to consider cases from states in the Council of Europe. Its judgments put into effect the articles of the convention in relation to specific cases and complaints brought by litigants. The number of cases it has to consider has mushroomed over the years, although it has recently reduced its backlog to under 100,000 cases.

What is the problem with the ECHR?

Critics of the Strasbourg court claim that because it interprets its judicial remit as advancing a "living instrument" – developing legally binding precedents from its interpretation of the basic articles of the convention – it has moved far away from its founding principles. Strasbourg'srequirement that the UK introduce some form of voting for prisoners is, the critics say, an example of the ECHR becoming over-intrusive in areas that should be the proper preserve of domestic courts and parliament.

Can the ECHR not be reformed?

Both Ken Clarke, when he was justice secretary, and Dominic Grieve have been strong advocates of expanding what is known as the "margin of appreciation", the leeway granted to each state in allowing for a certain amount of national differences. They have been unable to persuade the Strasbourg court to give sufficient ground in the prisoners' voting case to satisfy the Eurosceptics.

What would be the consequence of quitting the Council of Europe and the ECHR?

Grieve, Clarke and many others have warned that walking out of the Strasbourg convention would


undermine respect for human rights across Europe, encouraging those who are already slow to enforce ECHR judgments to switch to defiance. It would, they suggest, lower international respect for the UK just at a time that the government is investing so much in promoting Britain's history of democracy and respect for the rule of law through celebrating the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta. Membership of the Council of Europe is a requirement of all new states joining the European Union. It will be constitutionally difficult for the UK to remain within the EU, many senior lawyers point out, once the European court of human rights has been repudiated.Explore Experience Experiment

Velia caprai

Velia caprai, known as the water cricket, is a species of aquatic bug found in Europe. It grows to a length of  and is stouter than pond skaters of the family Gerridae. It is distasteful to predatory fish, engages in kleptoparasitism, and can travel at twice its normal speed by spitting on the water surface.

Description
The adult insect grows to a length of . Members of the family Veliidae resemble the pond skaters of the family Gerridae, but with stouter middle and hind legs, and a generally stouter appearance.

Ecology
Velia caprai has a chemical defence mechanism which is often able to prevent predation. It is so distasteful to brown trout (Salmo trutta) that the fish will spit out any Velia caprai it takes without causing them any damage.

Behaviour
VeliaThe Top 14 playoffs started this evening with Jonny Sexton and Racing Metro taking on Toulouse for a place in the semi-finals.

The big moment of the first half was Toulouse centre Florian Fritz being allowed back on the field despite stumbling off following a knee to the head from Racing second row Francois van der Merwe.

Even with the help of the Toulouse medical staff he was unable to stay on his feet. Fritz was temporarily replaced by Gael Fickou.

TV cameras then showed Toulouse coach Guy Noves in the dressing room speaking to his staff before the centre came back on the pitch. He was off for 17 minutes in total. He was replaced permanently at half time, again by Fickou.

There is something very wrong about his.


short time, he has managed to completely stun the watching world by deploying an erratic, unpredictable strategy of doing more or less what he said he was going to do.

Through a series of executive orders, he created a de facto Muslim ban, called for the construction of a border wall, yanked the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal and undermined the universal healthcare law known as Obamacare.

Apart from the Muslim ban, the rest are largely symbolic gestures - either an affirmation that he intends to do something without the messy implementation bit or, as in the case of the TPP, killing something that was already dead and then posing for photos over its carcass.

While it is important to acknowledge that some people, including thePresident himself, have stressed that the ban does not discriminate against people of one religion, I think it is safe to conclude that it does.

He repeatedly promised such a ban on Muslims during his election campaign, and when he got into the White House he signed an order barring entry to people from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

If it isn't a Muslim ban, it is certainly disguising itself very well.

To think that, not all that long ago, many people, including some of the President's strongest defenders and closest allies, were saying that he was simply shooting his mouth off and not actually intending to do a lot of the things he said he was going to!

October now feels like a distant era, a more innocent time when one might imagine campaign rhetoric ending with the campaign, and when American presidents did not slam the phone on allies.

As it turns out, Mr Thiel and many others who had propounded the "seriously, not literally" theory had it wrong. Mr Trump has been quick to prove that he is taking a lot of his own promises quite literally.

Perhaps, Mr Trump is just one of those people everyone - myself included - is constantly misjudging.

Or perhaps, Mr Thiel's remarks were made more in hope than expectation. After all, the man had at the time already secured a citizenship in New Zealand - coincidentally one of the farthest places one can be from the US whilebeing able to get decent Wi-Fi.

Another possibility, and this is the argument I'm putting forward today, is that few had foreseen how closely Mr Trump needed to stick to his promises to ward off the threat of impeachment.

You see, more so than any other president, Mr Trump relies on his band of supporters to keep his presidency afloat. They are the duct tape securing his grip on power.

It is, perhaps, no secret that Mr Trump is not exactly popular within his own party. He doesn't adhere to party orthodoxy and has insulted a fair number of them. Throughout the election campaign, he kept feuding with different members and launching Twitter attacks at the party establishment.

MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) – Police are looking for at least one man, and possibly up to three, involved in the violent attack of a gay couple at a Miami Beach restaurant.

A Miami Beach police officer was standing in front of the police station when he noticed something going down right across the street.

It turns out 25-year-old Jordan Schaeffer, who was recently visiting Miami Beach from Los Angeles, had been attacked by a man inside the Whopper Bar at 1101 Washington Avenue at about 3 a.m. Monday.

Surveillance video from the March 14th incident captured the fight take place as more than a dozen people waited in line to order food.

It was a surprise for people dining outside the Square Café on South Braddock Avenue in Pittsburgh's Regent Square section. They witnessed as onlookers at the marriage of same-sex marriage of two Pittsburgh men, performed on the same day that the legality of such marriages was the topic of a battle in Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court in the state capitol of Harrisburg.

Thirty-three-year-old Jamie ONeil and and 32-year-old Jason Smathers of Regent Square asked Braddock Mayor John Fetterman to perform their wedding ceremony. The obtained their license from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Register of Wills Bruce Hanes, whose issuance of licenses to same-sex couples is being challenged in court by Gov. Tom Corbett's administration. Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has chosen not to defend Pennsylvania's 1996 law, which says marriage mustbe between a man and a woman.

Standing just outside the café entrance, Fetterman proclaimed, "therefore, by the power invested in me by the county of Allegheny and the state of Pennsylvania, I'd like to introduce everybody to the brand new couple," telling ONeil and Smathers "you may now kiss your spouse." They did so to the cheers of onlookers.

Ceremonies like theirs have Pennsylvania State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, unhappy.

"What's the deal with elected officials nowadays, who think they're above the rule of law?" he asked in a video posted on his official website.

Newlyweds ONeil and Smathers say that not allowing them to marry is discrimination.

"I think it will probably go through sooner than later. That it will be legal. More people are open to the idea," said


of all the couples I've married."

Metcalfe said Kane's refusal to defend Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage has encouraged Hanes and Fetterman to "act lawlessly." Metcalfe believes the Legislature should remove Kane from office, and he's drafting an impeachment resolution to bring against her. He said he believes Hanes and Fetterman should also be removed from office, but given the time available to Pennsylvania's legislators, he is focusing his efforts on Kane. Metcalfe said his pending impeachment resolution against her could serve as a template for impeachment of others.WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday night, a day before he is expected to be acquitted by the Senate on two articles of impeachment, a topic notably absent from the night.

His mood was triumphant as he spoke to a Congress sharply split along partisan lines.

The president used the evening to note what he said were successes on the economy and push some key agenda items, including restricting abortion and illegal immigration. He claimed his administration "had shattered the mentality of American decline."

Here are some of the highlights from Trump's third State of the Union:

guests and surprise moments

Trump illustrated his points with the stories of his selected guests in the audience, who ranged from the sibling of a man who was killed by an immigrant in the country illegally to a mother and young daughter who was born prematurely, according to the White House.

He also promoted his "school choice" agenda, noting that thousands of students remain on waiting lists for Pennsylvania "opportunity scholarships" for private schools. Their futures, he said, were "put further out of reach when Pennsylvania's Governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice for 50,000 children."

Trump proposed federal legislation to give tax credits to people who contribute to scholarship funds, and also announced that a child he had invited to the speech, Janiyah Davis of Pennsylvania, would be receiving ascholarship.

"No parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school,' he said.

One family was surprised with the return of Army Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, who was serving his fourth deployment to the Middle East. During his address, Trump told the story of Williams’ family minutes before Williams walked down an aisle in the gallery to greet his family.

“Welcome home, Sgt. Williams,” Trump said as the chamber erupted into chants of “USA.”

Pelosi tears up speech after a night of mixed reactions

Trump's audience was split in their reactions throughout the night. In an unusual political moment, when the president took the dais at the beginning of the


night, Republicans started chanting “four more years!” And Democrats booed at times.

In a remarkable display, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up the text of Trump's speech and tossed it aside before Trump had left. Pelosi later waved the ripped pieces in the air, and audience members left in the chamber and public-viewing gallery could see Trump's prominent signature. Before his remarks, Trump also appeared to rebuff an effort by Pelosi to shake Pelosi's hand.

As the president discussed health care, he said wanted a new health care system that protects Americans with pre-existing conditions. House Democrats cut off his speech and chanted for him to take up a piece of legislation that addresses the issue.

"I’ve also made an iron-clad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients withpre-existing conditions," Trump said.

"HR3! HR3!" Democrats chanted, holding up three fingers and cutting Trump off for several moments.

The legislation passed the House last year and has not been taken up in the Senate.

Many others laughed, booed, and crossed their arms as during the health care portion of the address. Reps. Julia Brownley, D-Calf., and Norma Torres, D-Calif., both visibly shrugged. As the president said he was combatting pharmaceutical companies, Democrats laughed.

At one point, a guest of Pelosi's was escorted out of the chamber after he shouted back responses to Trump. Fred Guttenberg is the father of one of the teenage victims of the Parkland, Fla. shooting in 2018. He is an activist against gun violence and was wearing an orange tie to symbolize gun safety.

One-by-one, at least 10


lawmakers stood and walked out.

Among them, Reps. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., and Tim Ryan, D-Ohio.

"It’s like watching professional wrestling. It’s all fake," Ryan said.

Dozens of Democratic women, and some women guests of lawmakers, donned all-white to honor the women's suffrage movement and the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.

Women also wore white last year, and in 2018 many chose to wear all black to express solidarity with the #MeToo movement.

The House Democratic Women's Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich, said ahead of the speech that the group is united "against President Trump's backwards agenda," which she said attacks "the foundation that was built by the women pioneers of this country."

Impeachment front of mind but absent from address

Notably absent from Trump's speech was any mention at all of the impeachment trial that is expected to conclude in the Senate Wednesday. Unlike at campaign rallies and political speeches, Trump did not allude to a process he has repeatedly referred to as a "witch hunt."

But seated before him in the first row of House seats were the Democratic representatives who serve as impeachment managers in the Senate trial, including lead manager Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., whom Trump has consistently railed against throughout impeachment and accused of "treason." Their faces were front and center as Trump looked out at the audience.

A two-thirds majority of the Senate


is necessary to convict and remove Trump from office, in a chamber that has comprises Republicans and 47 Democrats.

The Senate voted 51 to 49 to reject any witnesses in the trial, with only two Republicans breaking from their party in favor of testimony.

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh awarded medal

After the announcement that prominent conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, 69, was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, Republicans showered him with support and well wishes. Trump took it a step further Monday night by having first lady Melania Trump award Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In the surprise moment, the first lady bestowed Limbaugh with the highest civilian honor, which Trump had hinted at earlier in the day to television anchors but said that the awardwould come as early as next week.

Democratic faction boycotts speech

Several Congressional Democrats elected to skip the address Tuesday night in a boycott of the president's policies.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, freshman progressive Democrat from New York, announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that she made the "deeply personal decision" not to "normalize Trump's lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution" by attending. She added she did not make the decision lightly

"None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it," Ocasio-Cortez said.

Trump is expecting acquittal in the Senate after a divisive impeachment process stemming from his dealings in Ukraine. Democrats impeached him in the House in December on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress articles, and the Republican-controlled Senate is poised to vote on whether he should be removed

and cultural backgrounds of the scientific discoveries and inventions would fail to develop an in-depth understanding of, and hence appreciate, the thought processes of the scientists related to what they encountered at their time.

In summer 2003, when the crisis due to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Hong Kong was coming to an end, we saw a golden opportunity to turn the crisis into a set of meaningful instructional resources which might help address the issues raised above. The SARS incident was a unique experience that everyone in Hong Kong had lived through and the memories of which would stay for years to come. At the beginning of the outbreak, the causative agent was not known, the pattern of spread was not identified, mortality and morbidity seemedOver 500 teachers from other schools in Hong Kong attended. Sharing of teaching materials and trial-run experiences with a wide audience.

Due to the limited financial and human resources, seven of the teacher participants went through all the above training components. The rest participated only in components (1), (2), (7), and (8). The development of the seven teachers in the understanding of NOS, the pedagogical skills in teaching NOS, and the intention to teach about NOS were probed at various stages of the project. These teachers found learning through a contextual approach, as what they did in the NOS workshop, very effective in promoting, enriching, and consolidating their NOS understanding. They also treasured both the training materials and some activities in the teaching resources that they tried out in


their classroom as they could modify or had modified them to incorporate teaching of NOS in their teaching of subject knowledge teaching. The actual classroom implementation and detailed review and discussion of the lesson video "worked best" and more importantly were "treasured most" by the teachers in enhancing their pedagogical skills in teaching NOS and intention to teach NOS. The review and analysis of the lesson videos facilitated teachers' reflection on which areas needed improvement. It also allowed them to appreciate and value the teaching of NOS when they saw students' ability and interest in learning NOS. The proof of workability of both teaching and learning NOS had prompted teachers who were reserved about teaching NOS to follow suit. Details of their development, their concerns, and their learningwere from the same school, participated in the school-based approach of the project (with three other colleagues teaching other science subjects). Inspired by the contextual approach in which they learned various NOS aspects through a series of socio-scientific issues (SSIs) in the SARS incident, they designed and implemented their own teaching materials in which NOS and SSIs were drawn upon. In the following sections, we expound on their learning and teaching experience in the current project by covering in detail three important components that they found most helpful in their development, namely (1) contextual learning of NOS through SSIs in the SARS crisis and other related contexts, (2) viewing and responding to videos of exemplary practice of NOS teaching; (3) their own practice of designing and implementing a


NOS lesson. At appropriate places, we include views and comments expressed by Wayne and Kyle during our interaction with them in the following occasions: brainstorming sessions on how to incorporate NOS ideas in their physics lessons, pre- and post-lesson discussions, video workshops with the team of science teachers of their school in which we shared and reflected on video episodes of how the teachers instilled NOS in their respective subjects, and an exit interview near the end of the project.

We then compare the instructional materials and the teaching strategies of the NOS lesson collaboratively planned by Wayne and Kyle, and discuss the extent to which the SSI and NOS features demonstrated in the materials and the strategies are mediated by their learning experience.

an international collaborative network, utilizing telephone conferencing, among 11 laboratories spread across 10 countries. The interview of Dr. Stohr and the narrator of the program gave a sense of urgency at that moment in time. "We knew that it was a race against time, so we had to find very quickly the pathogen, the causative agent for this disease... These scientists are competitive by nature but we called up 11 laboratories in 10 countries... (Dr. Klaus Stohr)24 hours later, all the labs had agreed to forgo their rivalries and collaborate. For the first time in history, the full force of the world's scientific might was united. (Jack Fortune -- Narrator)"

The SARS crisis also provided Wayne with an excellent example of how society impacts science in the STS connections:a physics teacher who demonstrated diverse teaching strategies in teaching NOS while covering the topic 'wave nature of light'. The lessons included the story-telling of how Fresnel tried to overcome the challenge by Poisson on his argument on the wave nature of light, the reconstruction of Fresnel's demonstration of diffraction of light to simulate how Fresnel provided empirical evidence in convincing Poisson of his argument that wave nature of light, etc. The lesson series broadened Wayne and Kyle's awareness of alternative teaching methods and approaches and provided them proof of existence of good NOS teaching. In another instance, after watching an early career physics teacher trying a different way (from the standard lesson sequence in local physics textbooks) of introducing the concept of momentum and its relevant NOS,

During the lesson, videos like the return of Liu Xiang back on the track, which obviously captivated students' interest and attention, Kyle and Alice felt the lesson was too loaded in the first half that the time left for student discussion in the role play activity and their subsequent reporting was limited (with less than 15 min). Opportunities for quality student interaction and arguments were scarce. Kyle was very sensitive and reflective in identifying components with good engagement of students, for example, the 110 m-hurdle race with Liu Xiang. As an observer of Wayne's lesson, Kyle acted as a critical friend for Wayne, identifying several lesson components that could be run more efficiently by (1) rephrasing some


They also capitalized on the timely context of the ban of shark skin swimsuits that happened a couple of months before their lessons. The use of the return of Liu Xiang (favorite sports star of many Hong Kong students) to the 110 m-hurdle competition 2 days before their lessons was both timely and relevant to the students. Students were obviously attracted to the many video clips of sports competitions and sports training used by them in the lesson. Similarly, the SARS teacher training materials also made heavy use of videos of scientists who fought against SARS and documentaries produced by reputable media about the inside story of SARS. Teachers felt excited to hear these inside stories. These videos were immensely helpful in the reconstruction of the relevant SSIsThe bronze plaque mounted on this stone by the government of British Columbia for its centennial in 1958 is inscribed with the B.C.’s Coat of Arms and these words:

VANCOUVER ISLAND’S FIRST SETTLER

Captain Walter Colquhoun Grant (1822-1861) became Vancouver Island’s first independent settler when he occupied land here at Sooke in August 1849. In 1850 he erected in this district the second sawmill to operate in British Columbia. After a residence of four years he returned to England in November 1853.

•••

Today this stone is mounted on a cairn within the entrance to Sooke’s Millennium Memorial Park, a regional heritage site, on Maple Avenue, but it had a somewhat circuitous route to get there.

In 1849 when Capt. Grant, formerly of the Royal Scots Greys took up 40.5 hectares fronting on


Sooke Harbour, his land was bordered by today’s Maple Avenue on the west, Gatewood on the east, and Grant Road at the rear.

When the provincial government placed the cairn in 1958, there was no public park so it was set on the edge of the main road at the corner of Maple Avenue.

Its next placement was in 1985, when a beautification committee of the day decided to move it to the centre of Sooke, at the corner of Sheilds and Highway 14, on land belonging to the Sooke Community Association. This was a surprise to the community association, the Sooke Region Museum, and chamber of commerce.

A month later, neighbours woke up to find the commemorative stone back in its spot on appropriate Grant land. Much speculation occurred inTV airing of Young Montalbano will be on BBC4 at 9pm on Saturday 7th September.

A trend is emerging within popular television. Writers are breathing new into beloved franchises by looking into the character’s pasts and reintroducing audiences to their younger selves.

The tactic has already paid off for ITV given the success of Endeavour. The show stars Shaun Evans as Police Constable Endeavour Morse. As one of the most enduring characters in British TV history, viewers followed the career of Inspector Morse for decades in his original incarnation, as portrayed by John Thaw, but last year regular Morse writer Russell Lewis explored the character’s origin story in a one off TV film.

In Endeavour, The Origins of Inspector Morse, Lewis took us back to the year 1965 and the hunt


traits that iconic characters are known for.

It takes a skilled writer to break down a character and then build compelling tales and mysteries which allow the characters flourish into their more recognisable older selves. Fortunately, the minds behind each of these popular sequel shows are a rare vintage.

Andrea Camilleri, the creator of the Inspector Montalbano universe, has also written the Young Montalbano series, and who better to know precisely what made Salvo the man he is today, than the man who brought him into the world?

Morse creator Colin Dexter, OBE, might have long since hung up his pen, but Russell Lewis was no stranger to his literary universe before travelling back in time with Endeavour. A writer on the original Inspector Morse series, Lewis was also the creatorThousands of people participated in the traditional anti-war Easter marches across Germany on Easter Saturday, under the theme "disarm instead of rearm — ban nuclear weapons."

This year's marches, which started on Good Friday and will continue through to Monday, called for an end to exporting arms to crisis areas.

"In the coming years, arms expenditure is to be increased to up to €70 billion ($78.7 billion) per year, when the money is urgently needed in many other places," said Philipp Ingenleuf of the pacifist Network of the German Peace Movement.

The money could be "invested much more sensibly" in education, housing construction or climate protection, Ingenleuf said.

The organization said more than 100 events were planned nationwide — an increase from last year's 80-odd events.

The three-day Rhine-Ruhr Easter march in North


Rhine-Westphalia kicked off with rallies in Duisburg with about 150 participants and in Cologne with about 200.

On Good Friday, several hundred people took to the streets in Chemnitz, Saxony, while more than 300 people demonstrated at the uranium enrichment plant in Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Rallies were also held at the Bundeswehr air base Jagel in Schleswig-Holstein, in Bruchköbel in Hesse, and in Biberach in Baden-Württemberg. In Dortmund a commemoration ceremony took place in the afternoon at the Bittermark memorial.

Every year on Good Friday, Dortmund commemorates the lives of about 230 forced laborers, prisoners of war and members of the resistance who were killed around Easter in 1945 under the National Socialist regime.

The marches continued on Saturday with demonstrations in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and Leipzig, among others. Demonstrations in Frankfurtam Main and Hamburg on Monday will conclude the weekend's events.

People of all ages took place in the Duisburg rally

Germany's Easter marches began with a demonstration in Hamburg in 1960. The demonstrations stem from protests against a nuclear weapons research facility in Britain in the 1950s.

The Easter marches reached their peak in support between 1968 and 1983, when events throughout West Germany brought hundreds of thousands out onto the streets each year to demonstrate against issues such as Washington's military involvement in Vietnam and the nuclear arms race.

Repairing a failed system

Viral Acharya, Matthew Richardson

How did global finance become so fragile that a collection of bad mortgages in the US could bring the entire system to its knees and the global economy along with it? How can this fragility be eliminated? This column describes the answers provided in an important new book which has been written by a team of world-class scholars from NYU’s business school.

As cracks in the financial system began to appear in early 2007, some of us at the NYU Stern School of Business began to vigorously debate all the issues. Some, like our colleague, Nouriel Roubini, had been forecasting trouble for a number of years. Living in the New York City and being at a major business school at the heart ofthe financial capital of the world, it was difficult not to become immersed in the events of the past two years.

When the securitisation market collapsed in the summer of 2007, and realisations of subprime losses began to show on bank’s balance sheets, one thing became clear for many of us – this would be a unique period in financial history. In the Fall of 2007, we put on monthly events related to the subprime crisis. One such event in November 2007 drew 750 undergraduate and MBA students. It was a presciently pessimistic discussion. So a year later, when the financial system spiraled downward we decided, like many academics, to put pen to paper and write a series of white papers on various aspects of the crisis.

A holistic view
