- Country diary: Sandy, Bedfordshire
A narrow gully and 2,000 years separate the treasure hoards of Sandy Warren. An unknown Roman came here with a fixed idea about where to bury his or her pot of gold, and climbed the hill opposite. Today the steep slope is lent a brooding character by a dense stand of spruce trees, their telegraph-pole straight trunks creating a barrier, the thick crowns casting deep shade over needle-bedded ground below. The laden traveller of long ago would not have encountered a conifer plantation, but may have had to overcome an obstacle that was more psychological than physical.Around the circumference of the hilltop, the remains of earth ramparts bear witness to the presence of a fort that was already ancient when Julius Caesar first arrived in Britain. Roman citizens may have shunned the dwellings of their Celtic predecessors out of superstitious fear, just as Saxons avoided the deserted buildings of the Roman empire. The act of concealment proved successful, but it did not benefit the person who left it: the Victorian county history from the beginning of the last century records the discovery of the stash, but nothing is said of the finder or the keeper.Some years ago, I found a more tangible hoard on the gentler oakwood slope of the facing hill. A tiny golden streak at the base of a wild cherry tree first drew me off the path to the very edge of the drop. I have returned to it today to find the treasure is buried, although not by its collector. A sheaf of wet leaves nestles under the cherry trunk buttresses. A quick scoop of the mat of vegetation with my hand sends a springtail springing out of the way. Under the clammy leaves is a beach of sand, no longer freshly dug gold, but pitted with particles of vegetation. At the back, at the base of a trunk that towers like a cliff, is null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40

- Moles dig up buried treasure where human trowels are banned
English Heritage keeps a careful watch as volunteers sift through hundreds of molehills on a fortress site near the Roman wallArchaeologists find it hard agree about the relative merits of excavating the ancient past or leaving it undisturbed until we have the resources and technology to preserve its remains indefinitely above ground.It can work both ways. If it wasn't for the enterprising Birley family at Vindolanda, we would not have the extraordinary writing tablets with details of the first and 2nd century AD social engagements of garrison wives and the like. Equally, the mosaic at Woodchester in Gloucestershire remains in a very fine state because it is so relatively seldom put on show.Nothing of this debate is known, however, to the most famous of the creatures which live amidst all the underground treasure: the UK's moles. And they are in the northern news because they have been doing some excavation of their own. Digging is what moles do, and when they live on a scheduled ancient monument that can be quite helpful, at least to the Birley-minded school of thought. Take Epiacum, which was a Roman fort some 12 miles south of the wall at present-day Whitley Castle on the 1000-acre fields of Castle Nook farm.Moles have been so busy there that English Heritage has drafted in 37 volunteers to sieve through their molehills and carefully take out anything ancient which has been brought to the surface. So far, they have found a bead from a jet necklace, pieces of earthenware pots and a quarter-inch-long shard of rarer and more valuable Samian ware pottery.A previous search turned up nails, which will be useful in debates about Roman Britain's use of wood as well as stone in buildings, and a delicate dolphin-shaped piece of bronze which is thought to have been part of a ta null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

- Vietnam: on the trail of a declining timber species
Farming and defoliants stripped the Vietnamese landscape of its treasured tree. Now there are efforts to bring it backThe second half of the last century dealt a severe blow to Vietnam's forest resources. First, Agent Orange and then a very difficult and impoverished postwar period stripped the landscape of its primary forests and resulted in the catastrophic loss of the country's iconic timber species. My postgraduate student Mr Dong's goal is to get these trees back into the landscape, but first he has to find out what conditions support the vigorous growth and regeneration of his species of interest, Hopea odorata (Sao den).We have been told that there is small remnant stand of Sao den in Van Hoa conservation forest, about a four-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City in Dong Nai province. Although protected for 15 years, we find this 70,000 hectare forest, once an important haven for the Viet Cong during the American (Vietnam) war, is still not a pretty site with little sign of recovery from its barrage by chemicals and unsustainable harvesting.It's been raining and our hired Toyota van is not up to the fire trail. A local farmer who is also the proud owner of a 1970s ex-Russian military vehicle that is now fitted with an American engine, comes to our rescue.The last two kilometres are on foot. Mr Ninh, the local ranger, leads with a machete, clearing away above-ground obstacles. But there is also an on-ground obstacle as this is a leech paradise. They are in their hundreds, and from their state of excitement it's been a long wait and they can't believe their luck. Apart from Mr Ninh, who knew what he was up for, my Vietnamese colleagues are in loose-fitting shoes and not even wearing socks.

- Fateh Singh Rathore obituary
Fateh Singh Rathore, who has died of cancer aged 72, fought throughout his life to protect India's last remaining tigers. An inspiration to forest guards and all those concerned about the plight of the tiger and its habitat, Fateh was field director at Ranthambhore national park, in India, from 1978 until 1988. His tireless and often controversial efforts made Ranthambhore an international treasure with a healthy tiger population. He won the respect and gratitude of local villagers for insisting that they should be compensated for agreeing to relocate outside the national park area.Fateh provided many wildlifers with their first field experience of the largest and most charismatic cat. He taught us silence, and through his uncompromising dedication and an uncanny intuition, coupled with the eyes of a hawk, allowed us intimate encounters with the tigers he loved passionately.For several years, Fateh was a member of the Cat Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and spoke at international forums on the tiger. In February, WWF International gave him their lifetime conservation award in front of an audience of his peers, supporters, friends and government officials. His trademark Stetson hat, Rajput moustache and twinkling eyes were there, though his voice was weak.A larger-than-life character, full of exuberance and fun, Fateh was born in a village near Jodhpur, Rajasthan. His uncle convinced him to enter the state's wildlife service, which he duly did after graduating from the Wildlife Institute in Dehradun, India's leading institute for wildlife management, conservation and science.Fateh co-authored six books on the tiger, including Wild Tigers of Ranthambhore (2001), which chronicled the progress of the Ranthambhore sanctuary and the Proj 生涯戦った72歳のがんで死亡したファテーシンRathoreは、インドの最後の残りのトラを保護しています

- What can Britain sell to pay off its debt?
Greece is considering selling islands to help it through the financial crisis. But what could we sell - and how much would it raise?Italy plans to sell off its national treasures; Greece is said to be keen to offload its surplus islands; now the rightwing Crawley-based Thomas Malthus Institute, under its president Stan Muccia, has drawn up a draconian austerity package aimed at wiping out Britain's £800bn national debt. Here are some of its proposals, culled from a new report called A Land Fit for Hedge Fund Managers to Live In (TMI, price £969.99), which has been leaked to G2:• Sell the Isle of Wight. We estimate a Russian or Uzbek oligarch with an interest in yachting might pay £10bn for it.• Sell Wales. This country, full of people on incapacity benefit and unproductive sheep farmers who speak a peculiar language, has some lovely mountain scenery and very fine castles and would make a first-rate theme park. £30bn.• Ditto Scotland. Another £30bn.• And the very few attractive parts of the north of England (Lake District, Peak District, Northumbria). £15bn.• Sell the Falklands to Argentina, Gibraltar to Spain, and Pitcairn to anyone who'll take that godforsaken place. Keep Tristan da Cunha as a large open prison. £30bn.• Withdraw from the EU immediately. £70bn.• Lease out the royal family. The royals cost the UK taxpayer £40m annually, but making them available for functions globally would raise £10bn a year. A comedy tour in Asia by Prince Philip would generate £250m alone.• Privatise the armed services, offering them on a mercenary basis to fight small but lengthy wars in distant places that have nothing to do with the UK. £110bn.• Do not replace Trident. Take out an insurance policy with the Pentagon instead. £90bn.• Sell the BBC to Rupert Murdoch. £20bn. _NULL_

- Yesware Boosts Sales Productivity, Financial Forecasts
If you've ever been a sales person, you know that reporting what you're doing to management is among the most annoying parts of the job. But without accurate sales reporting, public company management can't predict quarterly sales. And without a good sales forecast, investors are likely to be disappointed -- slamming the company's stock price.
So if there was a way to solve these problems, companies could save themselves some big headaches. That's where Yesware comes in. According to a November 3rd interview with CEO, Matthew Bellows, Yesware offers a browser extension to Google (GOOG) Gmail that lets sales people report on their activity very efficiently and accurately and streamlines their email communication.
Before Yesware, sales people would get hectored by their bosses to type into the corporate Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system the status of their sales calls. The sales people found this annoying and they did a very half-hearted job. As a result, sales managers could not compare the performance of difference sales people or estimate the sales that were likely to close by the end of the quarter.
But as an experienced sales person, Bellows realized that his email was a treasure trove of accurate information that could be tweaked to improve the sales reporting process. With Yesware, a sales person can choose to send relevant emails to the CRM system instead of typing information into the system.
And the sales people can choose different templates -- that relate to different sales activities. For example, there are templates that can be tailored to each Yesware customer's approach to common sales activities such as Prospecting, Pipeline Management and Objection handling. This helps sales managers to track actual sales activity and compa null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40

Investigator reportedly has new evidence to suggest president's 2007 campaign might have received €800,000 in illegal fundingNicolas Sarkozy is facing questions about party financing that could make Westminster's cash-for-access scandal look like small fry. Less than a month before the first round in the presidential elections, there are new allegations over brown envelopes of cash to Sarkozy's party from France's wealthiest woman during the last election campaign, in 2007.A French investigating magistrate has reportedly uncovered evidence to suggest Sarkozy's successful campaign might have received €800,000 in illegal funding from the L'Oreal billionaire Liliane Bettencourt. According to leaks to Le Monde and Le Journal du Dimanche in recent days, the independent judge Jean-Michel Gentil is investigating two €400,000 cash transfers from Swiss accounts in 2007, money that might have been handed over to Sarkozy's campaign treasurer or even to Sarkozy himself.The Bettencourt saga, which began as a family feud between mother and daughter, has sparked a series of judicial investigations, including on party funding. In February, Eric Woerth, the former French budget minister and treasurer of Sarkozy's ruling UMP party, was placed under judicial investigation over cash he was alleged to have received from Bettencourt to fund Sarkozy's 2007 campaign.The timing of Gentil's potential new line of investigation could hit Sarkozy hard as he battles to overturn his rival François Hollande's lead in the polls. Sarkozy, who as president is immune from criminal prosecution, has always denied any wrongdoing in the Bettencourt affair.

An easy way to access them is guidestar.org.

- Lerach Blames Pension Woes On Pay-To-Play -- Theirs, Not His
I dropped the words "William Lerach" from my Google news screen after he was sent to prison for lying about paying illegal kickbacks to plaintiffs in his securities lawsuits. So I missed this gem on the Huffington Post, in which the disbarred attorney, who made millions off of his cozy relationships with union and state pension officials, blames the nation's pension shortfall on pay-to-play. Not his, you understand -- no, Bill thinks the reason pension funds are woefully inadequate is because Wall Street fat cats bribed pension officials into buying their sleazy stocks.
<blockquote>Let's place the fault where it really belongs -- not with working people -- but with Wall Street banks. Who made money on these risky investment gambles? Who takes pension fund trustees to play golf and on so-called "educational" junkets at lush resorts to enjoy lavish dinners? Wall Street.</blockquote>
Where to begin? First of all, the source of this wisdom is somebody who went to prison for bribing securities plaintiffs. Not pension officials, to be sure, but we here at Forbes have documented a pervasive culture of pay-to-play in the securities class-action bar, in which lawyers wine and dine union and government pension officials to get in on obscenely lucrative business of settling securities lawsuits. Lerach's firms gave at least $3 million to state officials from 1998 until he was imprisoned, including $433,000 to California Treasurer Phil Angelides. 彼は証券訴訟の原告への不正なリベートを支払うことについて嘘の刑務所に送られた後、私はGoogleニュースの画面から単語を。。u0026quot;ウィリアムLerach。。u0026quot;下落した

- Why some of us like to drive in the middle of the road
Psychologists and silver drivers get together at Leeds University for another round in the great debate over 'middle lane hogging'Here is a New Year sign of progress on the vexed issue of 'middle lane hogging' on roads which forms such a treasured part of the UK's national debate.It comes not from the taproom at the Coach and Horses but the Institute of Psychological Science at the university of Leeds.Researchers there have established that older drivers have a 'built-in safety mechanism' which inclines them to drive in the middle of the road to avoid manoeuvres which could test their gradually slowing reactions. I am not (quite) old enough to be a useful guinea pig in such experiments, but other silvery citizens of Leeds joined in the project with gusto.They were given a touch-screen laptop and asked to trace wiggly lines of varying widths - slowly, quickly and at their own preferred pace. The next stage was steering along 'virtual' winding roads in a driving simulator, with a complimentary tour of the labs to conclude the process.Kathleen Dawson, who is 81, says that she felt:that at some points I was being forced to drive too quickly. However, I was happy to take part because I realised the importance of this type of research. It was explained to me that in learning how healthy people 'work' it helps scientists and doctors to provide new methods and means for treating people with movement problems.Her junior Lillian Watson, 75, says:I enjoyed being shown around the Labs and I felt privileged to be asked to take part in research. The findings also interest me because in hindsight - when I was in the simulator I did actively try to stay in the middle of the path for fear of going outside of the lines. The faster it got, the more I had to concentrate on doing that!The p null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. Please see responseStatus: 40

- Alistair Darling loses a small fortune after leaking of his memoirs
Sunday Times massively reduces fee for serialising former chancellor's memoirs after leaking of early draftAs the first chancellor in history who had to duck during a lively meeting with the prime minister, Alistair Darling is a calm figure who rarely shows any emotion.So in all his media appearances over the last two days the former chancellor has given no clue that he has just lost a minor fortune.The Sunday Times, which serialised his memoirs over the weekend, has massively reduced the amount it is paying his publishers for his book after an early version was leaked to Labour Uncut. I am told that the use of the word decimated, which is invariably misused by journalists, is correct in this instance.The Sunday Times is not for a moment suggesting that Darling is to blame for the leaking of his memoirs, Back From the Brink: 1,000 Days at Number 11. It is standard practice, in the cut-throat world of book serialisations, for a newspaper to reduce its fee if the contents are leaked. This is for the simple reason that the extracts have less impact.A statement by Darling's publishers, Atlantic Books, that most of the leaks were wrong appeared not to have cut much ice with the Sunday Times. Labour Uncut appeared to have got hold of an early draft of the book. Enough information was in the public domain to make the Sunday Times decide that the book had been severely devalued.Darling may not be too bothered because he is not in the slightest bit materialistic. But all may not be lost if he fancies supplementing his MP's salary and ministerial pension.Tory MPs, who cannot believe the treasure trove of damaging quotes in the Darling memoirs, are joking that he would make an excellent candidate to head up the IMF if Christine Lagarde falls foul of a corruption scandal in France. 初期のdraftAsの漏出後の首相との活発な会議中にカモにあった史上初の首相は、ダーリングはほとんどすべての彼のメディア内の任意のemotion.Soを示していない静かな図であるサンデータイムズは、大規模なserialising元首相の回顧録のための費用を軽減最後の2日間にわたって出演は元首相は、彼はちょうど週末に彼の回顧録をシリアライズサンデータイムズは、、大規模な初期の後にそれが彼の本のために彼の出版社に支払っている額を減少しているマイナーfortune.Theを失ったことを見当を与えていないバージョンは、労。包茎に流出した

- Why did Chaucer not make it into Treasures of Heaven?
The British Museum's holier-than-thou study of Christian pilgrimage should not have ignored the rough, human vision of The Canterbury TalesThe British Museum's exhibition Treasures of Heaven is a compelling tour through the middle ages. I've already recorded my admiration for this intense and fascinating survey of saints' relics, the ornate reliquaries created to hold them, and the rituals of pilgrimage that venerated them. The museum has announced that its study of Christian pilgrimage will be followed by an exhibition about the hajj.There's nothing wrong with a museum embracing religion, and if the British Museum did not explore the world's faiths it would not be doing its job of revealing the variety of human experience. But in so powerfully displaying the spiritual art of medieval Christendom I think Treasures of Heaven leaves something out. It stresses the holy at the expense of the human.If you want to know what's missing from this exhibition, I can express it in two words: Geoffrey Chaucer. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, surely the most famous book about pilgrimage in world literature, and a classic of the middle ages. In other words, not exactly obscure or marginal. Reading The Canterbury Tales after a visit to Treasures of Heaven feels a bit naughty – it's a heresy against the exhibition's holy vision.Chaucer portrays a group of pilgrims on their way from London to the shrine of Thomas Beckett in Canterbury. Do they ride in silence, meditating on the meaning of relics? Er, no. They are a disreputable, comic bunch who spend the journey telling riotous, rude tales. The characters who do vaunt piety tend to be hypocrites: the most harrowing religious tale is told by the cynical and dishonest Pardoner.This is not to say that Chaucer is an _NULL_

- Laos: From class struggle to traffic jams
The communist fighters who lived in the caves of the north would probably be shocked to see the affluence of their successorsThey say you should never go back to a place you have loved. I spent a couple of years in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, in the 1990s when it was a sleepy place with potholed roads and few cars. Now my Laotian friends complain about the traffic. Almost all the cars on the street are new and many of them are big 4x4s. There are also sports cars and Jaguars.Some landmarks have survived. The concrete triumphal arch in the middle of town, for example. But it can be bewildering trying to find old haunts. There are more roads than there were before and new buildings are going up all the time. The two-storey indoor market, a treasure trove of traditional silk skirts and silver, has been replaced by two huge shopping malls. Only one section of it remains, looking forlorn and insignificant. It was never beautiful, another 70s concrete monstrosity, but it was spacious and had a laidback, friendly atmosphere. Its remaining limb feels cramped, though the silk skirts are as beautiful as ever.The riverbank, and indeed part of the Mekong itself, has recently been transformed into a park. It's good for running and walking in the morning or evening, though there is very little grass. A tall, ugly Chinese-built hotel dominates the view. Signs in Chinese are ubiquitous and give a clue as to one source of the increasing wealth.The National Museum, however, remains true to the spirit of the 1975 revolution. The display started with dinosaurs, and two rooms took me quickly through several thousand years. Upstairs, after flitting through various kings and a dusty display of ethnic diversity, we were in the 20th century.

- What's wrong with weddings | Andrew Brown
The modern wedding is a celebration of the ego, which is the biggest enemy of the subsequent marriageI don't often listen to Thought for the Day, but Giles Fraser was on cracking form this morning (about 1 hour 48 minutes in) with his denunciation of weddings. A pity he didn't go far enough. Most clergy he knows, he said, would much rather conduct funerals than weddings, because they are so much more honest occasions. But in fact the modern wedding, if it does anything, shortens marriages rather than cementing them. Here's why. The modern wedding, with its stupendous cost (£20,000 on average) and duration, is really a celebration of the participants. They really are unique and precious snowflakes, just as they have suspected all along. In fact, they are each and both of them just the unique and precious people they would like to be. Everyone pretends that for the day the couple really are starring in their own film: following the conventions of modern films, that means nothing really bad can happen to them. Feeling unique and treasured and valued for yourself is exactly the point of being in love, and it's very nice. But it's not realistic. In particular, it's a disastrous attitude to bring to a wedding. There will be times when you appear – and are – not in the least bit treasured or valued, and when you'll be unlucky to be thought unique: everyone going through a divorce is convinced for a while they were married to the absolutely worst spouse in history. The great point about completely impersonal ceremonies, whose form is the same for everyone, whether these are religious or entirely civil, is that they remind us that the problems and difficulties of marriage are universal. They come from being human. They can't be dodged just by being our wonderful selves, even all 近代的な結婚式は、後続のmarriageIの最大の敵である自我のお祝いが多いの思想に日に聞いていないが、ジャイルズフレイザー氏は、今朝（約1時間48分フォームを割れ）彼の非難となった結婚式の
- Leeds leads the way in seeding social enterprise firms
The spirit of Rev Don Robins and Jimi Heselden presides over a new initiative by the council and Leeds Community FoundationSt George's Crypt is one of the very best good causes in Leeds, founded by the inspirational Rev Don Robbins and still doing multiple good works 71 years after he arrived in the city.So it was a fitting place for the launch of a new £200,000 social enterprise scheme which is offering capital grants from the treasure chest of Leeds Community Foundation.This was immensely enriched by the late Jimi Heselden, a self-made entrepreneur from a very modest background, who knew the crypt and its record with the homeless and disadvantaged very well. This tranche of money, however, has come from Leeds city council in spite of the current austere times. The money is a legacy from the council's Local Enterprise Growth Initiative which ended in March after giving out £20.6 million in 'enterprise seeding' grants in the city over four years.The community fund itself has made grants of £15 mllion over the same period, many of them to the voluntary organisations which tackle the 'two-speed' challenge of a city which is home to both wealth and success, and great deprivation. The group's chief executive Sally-Anne Greenfield explains the aims of the new programme:The Fund is open to established social enterprises (including development trusts, provident and industrial societies, co-operatives and community interest companies) as well as charities and constituted community groups. The scheme is for capital-only grants, such as equipment, vehicles, building adaptations and improvements, and applicants need to demonstrate that their plans will lead to increased revenue and/or helping their project become more sustainable.

Carvings in Mongolia, Buddhist sites in Japan and modernist architecture of Le Corbusier among 42 nominations to join listAncient German beech forests, rock carvings in Mongolia, Buddhist sites in Japan and the architectural works of the modernist genius Le Corbusier are among the nominations before Unesco this week as it debates which of the world's cultural treasures to elevate to its world heritage list.The 35th session of the world heritage committee will meet in Paris to discuss 42 nominations for the list, which for almost 40 years has aimed to define and cherish places of universal significance.It will not be a serene process of looking at images of awe-inspiring ancient monuments and ravishing landscapes.Although joining the list brings neither money nor even statutory protection, countries among the wealthiest and poorest on Earth are keen to be included, and the debates are often passionate.Six countries are likely to have sites accepted for the first time: Congo, which has jointly nominated the Sangha forests with its African neighbours; Barbados, for the Bridgetown garrison; Jamaica, for the Blue and John Crow mountain ranges; Micronesia and Palau, which have jointly nominated the sites of the massive Yap stone money discs; and the United Arab Emirates, for the oases of Al Ain.The list already covers more than 900 castles, walled towns, derelict ironworks, ravines, bays and churches. Before deciding which places should be added, the committee must consider the knottier problem of dozens of places now in such trouble they risk being moved to the separate list of sites threatened by development, earthquakes, climate change or the shifting tides of international politics.There has been concern for years over sites in Iran – although it was the devastating earth null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a dip in business spending from record highs and a slowdown in household spending. There was also downward pressure from farm stocks being run down, leaving the growth rate at just half the 0.8% notched up in the third quarter.But stronger growth earlier in 2011 meant GDP was up 2.3% on a year earlier.Treasurer Wayne Swan was quick to blame problems overseas for the slowdown, saying Australia was not immune to outside pressures as the eurozone sovereign debt crisis persists:Despite our underlying strengths, we always said that global instability would impact our economy, and these headwinds have added to existing pressures from the sustained high dollar and the cautious consumer.Our low unemployment, sturdy public finances, very low debt, contained inflation, and huge pipeline of investment provide a solid foundation that will help us withstand global turbulence.The government sought to stress that Australia's growth still significantly outstripped that in other developed economies in the fourth quarter, when the UK contracted 0.2% and the eurozone shrank 0.3%.8.11am: As expected, European stock markets opened calmly after yesterday's drama.

- Forget perils to parmesan, it's northern Italy's art we should be worried about
The earthquake in Italy that hit cheese production also showed the fragility of nearby works by Correggio, Mantegna and othersI have never visited the Rocca Estense in San Felice sul Panaro. Now the towers of this majestic castle have been toppled, while frescoes in the town are apparently gone forever. Three churches have been totally destroyed. A 16th-century church is also believed lost. The mayor says the town has lost all its artistic patrimony. So I will never see these marvels. An entire little urban world of beauty that grew over centuries and expressed, in microcosm, the genius of the Renaissance has been swept away by the devastating earthquake in northern Italy. Yes, I know – people died, each more precious than any artefact. But much has been made of the earthquake's damage to parmesan cheese production. If we can mourn cheese, we can certainly mourn art. Some people might even say that a world more moved by perils to parmesan than by the loss of art and architecture is a world with some very confused priorities.For the terrifying thing is not just how much art was lost in this earthquake. No – the scary thing is that world culture got off lightly. The epicentre of the quake is close to so many irreplaceable treasures of such importance to humanity that it could have been almost infinitely worse. Since we're talking parmesan, let's start with Parma: this city has glorious frescoes by Correggio that are wonders of the world, and now we know how vulnerable they really are.

- Pandas are political animals | Henry Nicholls
Cute, yes. But pandas are also powerful diplomatic assets for China, as well as consummate fundraisersThe apparent newsworthiness of pandas coming to Edinburgh zoo may be largely down to the public's delight in this distinctive bear. But the lobbying for them underlines that the panda has become more than a zoological curiosity. With the rise of modern China, its black-and-white emissary has become an increasingly political animal.Pandas divide opinion. For the unabashed pandaphile, there are the big, black eyes, the baby-like body proportions and the endearing rough-and-tumble antics. This combination of cutesy characteristics is impossible to resist. Pandaphiles are easily identified by their habit of head-tilting, cooing and being prepared to fork out cash for a photograph with this rare natural wonder.For pandaphobics, the panda is a waste of evolutionary space, a carnivore that only eats bamboo, and has an appetite for sex that is all but absent. But pandaphobes must also have a soft spot for pandas, if only because of the fun they get from sneering at the male panda's paltry winkie.I suspect there is a third category: the pandapathetic – serious people who refuse to fawn over or laugh at pandas. They are the most resistant to the panda's many charms, but will usually acknowledge the powerful position the panda has assumed in global culture.Since the 1950s China has been grooming this unique animal as a national treasure. It has also become the pre-eminent anthropomorphic star of advertising campaigns the world over, selling everything from radios and fizzy drinks to cigarettes, not to mention global conservation. The Worldwide Fund for Nature's decision to use the panda as its logo half a century ago added a do-gooding gloss to this already attractive animal. In s _NULL_

- Golden vintage: hidden treasure discovered in Champagne farmhouse
Builders find stash of gold coins believed to have been hidden after wine sales to US bootleggers during prohibition in 1930sThe world economic crisis might have been a lesson that money doesn't fall from the sky, but it does sometimes fall from the ceiling.Builders renovating an outhouse belonging to a French champagne producer were bashing through old plastering with a crowbar last week when hundreds of coins and neatly tied sacks of gold rained down from a hole in the rafters. The irony was that the 17kg (37lbs) of gold, amounting to 497 pieces now worth around €750,000 (£621,400), was probably stashed there during the last big financial crisis in the 1930s.In recent years the building in the eastern village of Les Riceys had been used to house seasonal grape pickers each autumn, who had slept unknowingly under the hidden stash.But the former grape-drying facility once belonged to a French wine producer who is believed to have traded with US customers during prohibition.He may have been paid in gold for illegally providing alcohol for his clients. The gold pieces, produced between 1851 and 1928, each have a face value of $20.Philippe Baijot, the head of the champagne house Alexandre Bonnet, which owns the building where the gold was found, told Le Figaro he believed it could have been stored there in the 1930s.It is unclear how the find will be divided, but it may be split between the builders and the owner of the building.But money breeds money, and it has already served as a marketing coup for the champagne producer, who plans a possible celebratory vintage, provisionally called Hidden Treasure.FranceEuropeWineAngelique Chrisafisguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

But at least we've got useful info for the BulgariansHeadingley is best-known as the home of Test cricket, in spite of a fearsomely unpredictable wicket which was once excavated and found to lie on top of at least 200 years of Yorkshire detritus, including part of a drystone wall.It's also quite famous as the supposed Shangri-la for students in Leeds, both temporary and perpetual ones, although not everyone locally is entirely happy about that.But did you know about its influence in Bulgaria? I didn't, but I do now thanks to the international consultancy WYG. They are one of Headingley's quiet treasures and it's from their modest base in Arndale Court that public transport in Stara Zagora is being improved.Stara Zagora is the sixth biggest town in Bulgaria, and you can take that with confidence from the present writer, whose team won the Manchester Guardian Advertising Department Christmas Quiz yesterday, partly by knowing the third largest cities in (a) England (b) Scotland and (c) Ireland. (Answers at the bottom). WYG has just sorted out a €12.6m funding application from Bulgaria's ministry for regional development and public works; such things as a feasibility study, review of current municipal transport policy and an environmental impact assessment. Maybe they can also salvage something from Leeds' own travails over the lost Supertram and its possible replacements. But meanwhile it's good to flag up a local success. WYG's managing director for Bulgaria Georgi Georgiev says: ,We've been working in the international public sector with national and regional authorities, business communities and civil stakeholders in Bulgaria for more than four years now, to bring about change and enhance the quality of li null, responseDetails: Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

- Five steps to end global tax evasion | Nick Mathiason
World leaders are failing us in the face of crisis. A new age of financial transparency could help claw back $3.1tn of unpaid taxRarely have politicians and business leaders met at Davos against such a gloomy backdrop. The World Economic Forum (WEF) helped to set the tone this month when it issued a chilling dystopian vision of mass youth unemployment, wholly inadequate elderly care provision and widening global inequality. WEF's global risks 2012 report suggested fresh economic turmoil and social upheaval could wipe out gains produced by globalisation. Nationalism, populism and protectionism threatened to take root, it warned.The world is calling for a bold vision of economic justice to counter dislocation and austerity. But since the global economic crisis reasserted its icy grip after a brief Keynesian impasse, world leaders have failed to deliver one. The inability to articulate a narrative beyond a long, hard march out of economic malaise ultimately caused by politicians' and regulators' failure to adequately supervise the financial system is resulting in a widespread disillusionment with mainstream politics that threatens to undermine faith in democracy.World leaders need to respond quickly, and business must play its role. A good place to start is talking up the idea that there are mechanisms beyond severe budget cuts to eliminate sovereign debt. There is money in the global financial system that, if accessed and used wisely, could go a long way to mop up deficits and reinvigorate the global economy.That treasure trove is the $3.1tn of tax, equivalent to 5.1% of global GDP, which according to international campaign group Tax Justice Network is illegally evaded in 145 countries, covering 98.2% of the world's population.

- Our churches are filled with hidden beauty | Jonathan Jones
Despite the ravages of the Reformation, Britain's churches are still full of glorious medieval art. What are the best examples in your area?I missed some fine misericords last weekend, by all accounts. I was in Beverley in the East Riding to give a talk, and was struck by the beauty of the medieval market town's church and minster. I was told they have excellent carvings inside them, but to be honest, I was tired from talking about Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo and I staggered to the train station instead.My loss. Britain's churches are full of glorious art. It is well known that our medieval heritage of religious art was badly damaged, in many cases obliterated, by the Reformation. Perhaps it is too well known, because it is a half-truth. Before Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, their cloisters were richly decorated, and even parish churches had murals, painted rood screens, sculpted portraits and exquisite wood carvings. Even the violent attacks and systematic destruction inflicted on these buildings in the 16th and 17th centuries could not utterly efface such abundance. Relics of medieval art survive in parish churches as well as cathedrals all over Britain.This art has been rediscovered by historians in recent decades. The large section of photographs in Eamon Duffy's influential book The Stripping of the Altars is a treasure trove of forgotten British art. Diarmaid MacCulloch's book Reformation begins with a discussion of a 14th-century figure carved into the stonework of Preston Bissett church in Buckinghamshire.Visual evidence has now become integral to historical research, and these broken figures are windows on to how people in Britain thought and felt about the world 600 years ago and earlier. But they are also magical works of art. How wonderful is i 宗教改革の被害にもかかわらず、英国の教会はまだ輝かしい中世の芸術に満ちている

- Who are the Coptic Christians?
The clue to the identity of this small religious minority survives in the art and archaeology of ancient Egypt – and reveals a most magnificent ancestryAttacks on churches, communal divisions – Cairo has recently seen conflicts between some Muslims and Coptic Christians. But who exactly are the Copts and how did they come to be in Egypt? Part of the answer lies in Coptic art.The sands of Egypt make it an archaeological wonderland. Ancient Egyptian statues and buildings rise above those sands, and these stony sepulchres made the wonders of the pharaohs famous down the millennia. But in the 19th and 20th centuries excavators such as William Flinders Petrie developed truly scientific archaeological techniques and looked beyond the tombs of the kings into the buried worlds of Egypt's past. Petrie, who excavated at Fayoum, looked not just for treasures but pottery and cloth.Egypt's climate preserves materials that usually perish, including wood, papyrus, and cloth. Even shoes from ancient Egypt's later period under Roman rule have survived. Another stunning type of material discovered by early 20th-century archaeologists was Coptic woven art. Early Christians in Egypt buried their dead with finely woven clothes and shrouds that have survived along with Biblical papyri, paintings and sculpture. In 1910, the Coptic Museum in old Coptic Cairo opened to show such relics released from the earth.The attraction of Coptic art is that it is full of Mediterranean, Greek and Roman echoes, such as border decorations of embroidered grapes that recall the god Bacchus, while being anti-classical and popular because of its raw portrayal of all-too-human faces. Another fascination is the possible connection between early Christian portrayals of Mary and Jesus, and ancient Egyptian statues o この小さな宗教的少数派のアイデンティティへの手がかりは、芸術と考古学古代エジプトので存続 - 教会で最も壮大なancestryAttacksを、共同部門を明らかに - カイロは最近、いくつかのイスラム教徒とコプト教徒間の衝突を見ている

What is the world's population according to the latest UN estimates? See when it will hit 10 billion - and which countries are growing fastest• Get the dataBy the end of this year the world's seven billionth citizen will be born. The latest United Nations population estimates, out this week, say the global population will reach 10bn in the next 90 years.According to the UN Population Division's best-case 'medium' estimate - and you can see the original report here - it will take 13 years to add the eighth billion, 18 years to add the ninth billion and 40 years to reach the tenth billion.The big increases are coming from countries with high fertility rates - the high-fertility countries identified by the UN comprise of 39 countries in Africa, nine in Asia, six in Oceania and four in Latin America. Today, 42% of the world's population lives in low-fertility countries, defined in the UN report as countries where women are not having enough children to ensure that, on average, each woman is replaced by a daughter who survives to the age of procreationLow-fertility countries include all countries in Europe except Iceland and Ireland. Europe is the one region in the world to see its population decline by 2100 - and you can see below how fertility rates go down across the globe by 2100: That trend is not repeated in the UK - our population has grown by 23% since 1950, and will grow another 21% by the year 2100 to reach 75.7m.Population expert Hans Rosling points out the release is a treasure trove of new data, including detailed fertility rates by country, life expectancy and migration figures.The high-fertility countries (> 3 kids per women) are mainly in Africa and only have 18% of the world population = 1.2 billion people.

- Grand Canyon mining ban extended
The US government has extended a ban on the filing of new mining claims near the park in order to protect 400,000 hectaresThe US interior department has extended a temporary ban on the filing of new mining claims near the Grand Canyon with an eye toward protecting 400,000 hectares (1m acres) and giving the federal government more time to study the economic and environmental effects of mining.The department has been analysing whether to prohibit new mining claims near the park, or allow the mining industry to add to the thousands of claims already staked in the area. A temporary ban enacted in July 2009 was set to expire next month but will now last until December.The interior secretary, Ken Salazar, visited the Grand Canyon and drew on its history to urge patience, caution and humility in moving forward with what has been a controversial process.The withdrawal of the full 400,000 hectares for 20 years will be identified as the department's preferred alternative when the analysis is completed later this year, Salazar said. The mining industry, along with Govener Jan Brewer and some Republican members of Congress quickly blasted Salazar's decision as detrimental to the state's economy and the country's energy independence.Conservationists hailed the announcement as crucial to protecting the area's natural and cultural resources. Ranchers had sent miniature cowboy hats to Salazar, a rancher himself and former natural resources chief in Colorado, urging a more permanent withdrawal for what mining opponents have said was a natural treasure under threat.The temporary ban was meant to slow a flurry of new uranium mining operations planned near the Grand Canyon. At least 3,350 active mining claims exist for all types of hard-rock exploration within the area.Most of the claims f _NULL_

Gulf of 。ádiz race by Spain's navy to lay claim to hundreds of wrecks before US firm Odyssey can get thereSpain has sent an armada into waters around its coasts to seek out hundreds of shipwrecks in an attempt to head off US treasure hunters accused of plundering Spanish property from the seabed.Over the past month, more than 100 suspected shipwrecks have been located by the Spanish navy in the Gulf of 。ádiz, considered one of the world's richest hunting grounds for underwater treasure.Dozens of Spanish galleons returning from the colonies in south American in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries are believed to have sunk in waters around 。ádiz.Royal Navy warships and other British vessels may also be among the wrecks the Spanish navy says it has located.Between 500 and 800 ships are thought to lie at the bottom of the Gulf of 。ádiz.Three Spanish navy vessels, including two minesweepers, and 100 navy personnel are devoting two months to the project, which will end in mid-November.Spain's navy said it had recovered evidence from potential wreck sites which was being analysed by archeologists.

- How the American commuter gets railroaded | Suzanne Goldenberg
The terrible time we have with the Washington DC Metro is symptomatic of bad attitudes to public transportation in the USYears ago, in a city just north of the 49th parallel, I had a high school history teacher who had a powerful fascination for the Moscow metro. He brought in route maps and his own – extensive – collection of photographs of the ornately decorated stations. As students, we used to joke/complain that he could talk the whole school year about what a treasure this public transit system was for the Soviet working man and woman; how important it was to be able to move around safely, quickly, affordably and in relative comfort. (Yes, it was still the Soviet Union then.)I have been thinking, with no small degree of longing, of hugely efficient metro systems lately – especially their escalators.The stations and trains of the Washington, DC Metro are clean and quiet – but just try getting in or out of them. On my commute to work and various trips around town this week, there was not a single station with all escalators running.What there were, though, were queues – of people trying to get off trains, so they could trudge up a long, immobilised escalator on their way home for work. Or people trying to funnel through the single working escalator between lines at the main Metro Centre interchange. Or elderly people and women with strollers desperately looking for an elevator.There are 588 escalators in the DC metro, and according to the transit authority's website, 52 were out of service as I write. But at least, there has been no repeat of an accident last October when the brakes failed on an escalator at a station serving the Mall, with six passengers falling in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.They do things differently in Moscow, though the Soviet Union is no 私たちはワシントンDCメトロ持つひどい時はすぐ北に49平行の都市では、前USYearsの公共交通機関への悪い態度の症状ですが、私は、モスクワの地下鉄のための強力な魅力を持っていた高校の歴史の先生を持っていた

- Tomb raiders: why does no one care about Cairo's Egyptian Museum?
Judging by reports from Cairo, the west does not understand that one of the greatest antiquity collections on Earth is in dangerIf petrol bombs were being thrown in St Marks Square in Venice, or outside the British Museum, what would reports say? We would never stop hearing about the threat to humanity's cultural heritage. Yet, as I scan the news sites for the latest reports from Cairo, it is strange how little stress has been placed on the unique importance and fragility of the contents of the Egyptian Museum, which stands at the very heart of the unfolding tragedy. That is why I must reiterate my previous attempt to draw attention to this silent witness and victim of events.No, works of art are not people. The violence to protesters who had been so peaceful is nightmarish. But a nightmare scenario is also unfolding for the antiquities of Egypt. As I already stressed earlier this week, the collection of the Egyptian Museum is one of the greatest on Earth. This is where the golden mask of Tutenkamun is kept; the mummies of the pharaohs, and so much more.The image that has haunted me all week is of a very ancient and very spooky tomb statue in the museum: it keeps coming to mind because I have seen nothing like it anywhere else – and because it is made of wood. Old, dry wood. All these treasures could vanish in smoke so easily.My initial assumption was that the western media were downplaying the museum because it seemed less important than the lives at stake and the future to be won. It was even being said that to draw attention to looting was to do the propaganda work of the regime. But now I am starting to wonder if people in the west even know or care what is in that building. It is a great museum. And it is in peril.MuseumsEgyptEgyptologyProtestHosni MubarakEgyptArtS カイロからの報告から判断すると、西は地球上で最大の古代のコレクションの一つには、ヴェネツィアのサンマルコ広場でスローされていたdangerIf火炎瓶になっているか、大英博物館、レポートは何を言うの外側を理解しないのですか？我々は、人類の文化遺産への脅威の話を聞くのを停止することはない

- Sonia Pottinger obituary
Hitmaking Jamaican record producerSonia Pottinger, who has died aged 79, was one of Jamaica's most noteworthy music producers during the 1960s and 70s. In a competitive realm dominated by men, she excelled through an individualised approach to record production that was bolstered by her keen business acumen, and leaves a back catalogue of outstanding quality.The youngest of three children, she was born Sonia Durrant in Leith Hall, Jamaica, and moved to the capital, Kingston, at a young age to attend St George's girls school. She later pursued secretarial and accountancy courses, and married a chartered accountant, Lindon Pottinger, with whom she established a number of businesses in Kingston, including a bicycle store, and a shop selling her home-cooked patties.Lindon began to produce records in 1961, recording local acts such as the Mellow Larks and Jimmy James. Founding the labels Gaydisc, Golden Arrow and SEP (his wife's initials), he opened a small recording studio at the family home. It was the first such facility in Jamaica to be owned and operated by a black person. There, he recorded artists including the Maytals, Derrick Harriott and Lord Tanamo. The material was sold at the Tip Top record shop and distribution centre, established by the Pottingers on Orange Street, then the centre of the Kingston music scene.Although he continued to produce records into the rock-steady era, in 1964 Lindon sold his recording equipment to the better-established producer Duke Reid, who installed it in his newly constructed Treasure Isle facility. The following year, the Pottingers separated and, with three children to support, Sonia decided to venture into record production herself, launching the Gay Feet, Excel, Pep and High Note labels, and the Glory imprint 79歳で死亡したジャマイカのレコードproducerSoniaポッティンガーを、Hitmaking 1960年代と70年代中にジャマイカの最も注目される音楽プロデューサーの一つでした

- Albums of 2010, No 1: Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III)
Was it cerebral hip-hop? Freaked-out funk? Or an updated Innervisions? There is no point trying to pigeonhole the Guardian's favourite album of 2010 – just sit back and enjoySome years the most celebrated albums are perfect jewels whose brilliance derives from focus and consistency. Guardian critics' two favourite albums of 2010, however, are more like treasure chests, where the whole point is abundance and some stones may be more precious than others. Yet they point in opposite directions: Kanye West's towards the celebrity self and Janelle Monáe's towards the wider world — Me v Us, as Neil Tennant recently put it when talking about modern pop. At just 25, Monáe is absurdly, vertiginously talented. Although 2007's Metropolis: The Chase Suite had a cult following, a lot of people's first exposure to her was a YouTubed appearance on Letterman in May, performing Tightrope. Tiny in her tuxedo, she had that rare and compelling combination of razzle-dazzle exhibitionism with a sense of something mysterious and withheld. It was, in the words of the James Brown routine she unapologetically homaged, Star Time. Nina Simone used to complain that though she moved between styles people always labeled her jazz because she was black. The same goes for Monáe and R&B. It's part of the mix on The ArchAndroid but it's uselessly reductive as a general description. You could extrapolate whole albums from single tracks here: a tough, cerebral hip-hop record from Dance Or Die, an updated Innervisions from Locked Inside, a freaked-out funk opus from Mushrooms & Roses, and so on. She belongs to the tradition of OutKast, Prince, David Bowie and Funkadelic – artists who command so many genres that they become one themselves. The ArchAndroid is proudly OTT, as any record that purports to tell the それを脳ヒップホップか？びびるアウトファンク？または更新するInnervisions？ただで最も有名なアルバムが輝き焦点との整合性から派生して完璧な宝石ですenjoySome年と座って - 2010年のガーディアンのお気に入りのアルバムを整理したしようとしても意味がないです

- Letters: It's the little things you remember
After all these years of thinking we got through the war with no fuss or trauma, your G2 edition (The blitz: 70 years on, the survivors remember, 7 September) has produced a strange shakiness. It's the little things. In 1940, there were no toys in the shops so parents set up a swap system for Christmas presents. My china doll Betty, with blue eyes that opened and shut, went to four-year-old Paddy, whose parents lived in a flat over the chemist's shop. Soon afterwards, Paddy was killed when people were caught in a stick of bombs as they ran to the public shelter. Her mother asked if the doll could be buried in Paddy's grave, as she had treasured it. I said yes, of course – to refuse would be unthinkable. There were worse things later – the oil bomb, the incendiary that came through the roof, Mr Thrower getting his head blown off by a doodlebug. The V2 rocket that had just fallen when I came home from school. But it's the thought of the perfect china face deep under the earth beside Paddy that somehow makes my heart constrict. Like I say, the little things.Alison PrinceWhiting Bay, Isle of Arran• Thank you for publishing the cheerfully heroic reminiscences of the blitz. The second world war generation seems to have come to quietly accept being either completely disregarded, or being sneered at and treated with condescending disrespect, by every form of media, the advertising industry and politicians of all parties. It's a very good thing for us they did not keep quiet when Hitler demanded they grovel, and then went on to help win the war and elect Attlee's great government.Chris HardyLondon• I grew up with the stories of the blitz – the death, destruction, bravery, fear and failure. What happened to my family adversely affected my whole childhood and later life. Yet 私たちは大騒ぎや外傷、あなたのG2の版（電撃：上70年の戦争で得た思考のすべてのこれらの年後、生存者は）奇妙な揺れを生産している9月7日を覚えている

- This is not the end for tax havens | William Brittain-Catlin
Reforms in the world's tax havens may be under way, but hunger for profit and wealth will ensure the survival of offshore financeSurvey the world's tax havens and you will find that change is afoot.In the Cayman Islands, long the beacon of offshore finance, the many thousands of hedge funds domiciled there are fleeing to respectable onshore havens, where they hope newly emboldened regulators will look at them more approvingly.The island of Jersey, another tax haven grandee, is now thinking the unthinkable: raising taxes, to stave off a fiscal deficit. Its economy was for years dependent on financial services, but the financial crisis struck and more familiar, onshore ways to sustain an economy will have to be imposed.Elsewhere, the US department of justice, on a mission to unearth US tax evaders in Switzerland, batters the cantons of Zug, Zurich and Ticino into submission, overturning in a matter of months long held traditions of banking secrecy.Is it time to sound the death knoll for tax havens? Will the combination of economic crisis and direct action by onshore governments spell the end of these treasure isles, making life that much tougher for their willing clients in banking and finance?No, it is not the end, merely a prelude to the next time offshore capitalism returns.For what we are witnessing now in the tax haven world is a great reconfiguration of these hidden conduits of finance and ownership that appropriate and preserve wealth; passageways of financial power that will, as sure as night follows day, spur global capitalism on to another so-called golden age some 10, 15 years hence.This is not prophecy, simply a lesson from history.Modern tax havens were themselves born out of the financial crises of the late 19th century, and took off as depression-struck nat 世界のタックスの改革が進行中かもしれないが、利益と富への渇望は、オフショア世界のタックスヘイヴンをfinanceSurveyの生存を確実にすると、その変更が長いケイマン諸島、オフショア金融のビーコン、afoot.Inことに気付くことでしょうヘッジファンドの多くは何千人も今は考えられないと考えている、そこには彼らはニュージャージー州、別のタックスヘイブングランディーの詳細approvingly.The島を見ていきます新たに勇気づけレギュレータを願って立派な陸上避難所に避難している住所：食い止めるために、調。税金を財政赤字
- Trip along the Congo River reveals artistic treasures from central Africa
Paris exhibition traces link between works of Bantu speakers spread along the banks of African waterwayOn finally reaching the entrance to the Congo River exhibition, on the upper ground floor, we caught sight of masks that, even from a distance, looked amazing, and equally attractive statues. But we resisted the temptation and headed for a map, in the hope of grasping the ideas underpinning the show, which aims to be much more than just a selection of works from the Congo River basin.Two arrows on the map show how the Bantu languages spread out from their place of origin in Nigeria from about 3,000BC. One arrow follows the Atlantic coast south, as far as the mouth of the Congo river, arriving there about 2,000 years later. This branch corresponds to the western Bantus. The other arrow heads east towards the great lakes, also reached in about 1,000BC, bending southwards then turning west to follow the Congo and its tributaries. The two branches rejoined in the area now covered by Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.The two branches thus circumscribe a vast area, consisting of the river basin and a swath of equatorial forest. To plot the routes, linguists studied successive offshoots of the original Bantu language, identifying the links between the dialects that evolved through time and migration.This preamble is necessary because François Neyt, who curated the exhibition (until 3 October), makes ample use of the data. He seeks out visible forms of continuity in the statues and masks, and in the religious concepts they reflect. Much as the language, there is unity in the art despite the distances. The subtitle of the exhibition is essential: Correspondence and Mutation of Form.The show is divided into three parts. It looks first at a specific style of heart-s バンツースピーカーの作品の間のパリの展覧会のトレースのリンクは、アフリカwaterwayOnの銀行最終的にコンゴ川展への入り口に到達するに沿って、上層階に広がって、我々は、同じように魅力的な距離でも、より素晴らしい見てマスクを目にした像
- Treasures from Budapest | Visual art review
Royal Academy, LondonIt is understandable that publicists for this exhibition chose to put Egon Schiele's 1915 work Two Women Embracing on the posters. Sex sells, and drawing does not come any sexier than Schiele's transfixing image, whose ultimate provocation is the way one of the women looks around at the artist to show that she is gratifying his fantasy. But there is more to the foregrounding of this erotic masterpiece than commerce: it exemplifies a theme that runs through this once-in-a-lifetime show.From the first room, where Hungarian gothic altarpieces are juxtaposed with Italian Renaissance delights, to the last, where Schiele gives you a final thrill, the art of central Europe is richly mingled with extraordinary works from the west that are in Hungary's public collections. I've never seen such a generous loan from one country's museums – by comparison, the Hermitage exhibit at the RA was quite cautious. This is a true blockbuster, practically a museum in itself, stuffed with surprises and marvels. Highlights include a portrait by Frans Hals that proves him the equal of his contemporary Rembrandt, a pair of working-class heroes painted by Goya, a Raphael homage to Da Vinci and, oh yes, a couple of Leonardo's own greatest designs. And that merely scratches the surface.The thread that connects it all is a vision of Europe. Western Europe's artistic development has been written as a march of progress since the Renaissance. Hungarian collectors fully subscribed to that version, and bought some supreme Italian works. But here you see those paragons alongside carved wooden saints from Hungarian churches in a way that expands your sense of the variety and greatness of the continent's heritage. European art through Hungarian eyes is a landscape made new.Rati ロイヤルアカデミーは、LondonItは、この展覧会の時事評論は、エゴンシーレの1915作品ポスターに抱きしめるふたりの女を置くことを選んだことは理解できる

- John Tiffin obituary
Television news producer with an eye for the unusualJohn Tiffin, who has died aged 80, was a producer for the primetime American tele- vision programme 60 Minutes. For half a century, he was based at the CBS News London office, from which he travelled to more than 100 countries to produce stories for 60 Minutes, as well as the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. As much an artist as a journalist, Tiffin had studied under John Minton at Camberwell School of Art in the early 1950s. Tiffin brought a visual eloquence to each of his productions – his witty sketches on the backs of boarding passes, dashed off while stranded with crews at distant airports, were treasured by those who kept them.His 60 Minutes pieces covered some weighty topics, such as Strabane (1975), a study of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, and Till Death Us Do Part (1985), which explored the practice of bride-burning in India. His light and humorous works included Tango Finlandia (1993), which reflected that country's obsession with the dramatic ballroom dance, and Backstage at the Muppets (1979). There was also a portrait of Fania Fénelon, a French Jew at Auschwitz who performed in the concentration camp's orchestra. Her story, featured in The Music of Auschwitz (1978), led to a 1980 film starring Vanessa Redgrave.Tiffin was born in Beckenham, south London, the only child of a retailer, George, and his wife, Doris. Educated at Dulwich college, he hoped his talent for drawing, and passion for motorsports, might lead to a career as a technical draughtsman. When his childhood friend, John Peters, a CBS staffer, invited him to help film a news report, he began shooting material of his own.

- German arms lobbyist Karlheinz Schreiber jailed for eight years
Lobbyist at centre of 1990s slush fund scandal found guilty of tax evasion after 10-year extradition battleKarlheinz Schreiber, a major player in a slush fund affair that plunged Germany's Christian Democrats into chaos in the 1990s and paved the way to power for the current chancellor, Angela Merkel, was convicted today of tax evasion and sentenced to eight years in prison.The 76-year-old former arms industry lobbyist was found guilty in Augsburg state court of failing to report some 14.6m Deutsche marks (equivalent to about €7.5m) in income.Prosecutors had asked for nine and a half years in prison, while Schreiber's defence lawyers had argued for his acquittal. It was not immediately clear if either side would appeal.Schreiber was accused of taking undeclared commissions from a deal in the early 1990s to deliver Fuchs armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia.Schreiber, who has German and Canadian citizenship, was arrested in Canada in 1999 under a German warrant. He was sent to Germany in August for trial after losing a 10-year battle against extradition.He also allegedly gave a cash donation in 1991 to the former treasurer of then chancellor Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic Union party, Walther Leisler Kiep. That allegation triggered a scandal that only deepened with Kohl's 1999 admission that he had personally accepted off-the-books – and therefore illegal – donations from supporters.The party financing scandal tainted the reputation of Kohl, who was chancellor from 1982 to 1998, and led to a criminal investigation. However, prosecutors in Bonn closed the case in 2001 without charging Kohl after he agreed to pay approximately 300,000 Deutsche marks in fines.Schreiber was indicted initially on charges of tax evasion, bribery and of being an accessory to breach of trust an 1990秘密資金事件の中心にロビイストが脱税の罪で10年引き渡しbattleKarlheinzシュレイバー、1990年代に大混乱にドイツのキリスト教民主同盟を急落し、現在の首相の電源への道を開いたの秘密資金事件の主要なプレーヤーの後、発見アンゲラメルケルは、今日の脱税の有罪判決を受けたとprison.The 76歳の元武器業界のロビイストで8年の判決をいくつかの14.6メートルドイツ符（に相当する報告に失敗のアウグスブルクの州裁判所で有罪判決を受けた約€7.5メートルシュレイバーの防衛弁護士は彼の無罪を主張していたが）income.Prosecutors 9と刑務所年半、求めていた

- Science Weekly podcast: Brain scans in the theatre; volcanic ash in jet engines
With the help of a neuroscientist, writers Louise Whiteley and Julian Wilkes have written a play about the growing power of brain scans not just to diagnose disease but also to read our minds and predict our behaviour. Who will own our scans and how might they be used to invade the once-private territory of our thoughts? Interior Traces is a radio play performed live on stage, with live musicians and projected videos. It will be touring the UK from 5 to 14 May, with post-show discussions featuring neuroscientists, ethicists and legal thinkers as part of the Identity Project season from the Wellcome Trust.We hear excerpts and Alok Jha talks to the authors about the issues they explore in the play. Their science consultant, neuroscientist Geraint Rees of University College London, joins us in the studio. You can hear more of the play at the Interior Traces website.Robin McKie, science editor of the Observer, and James Randerson, editor of environmentguardian.co.uk, lend us their thoughts. They also chew over what happened at the Guardian's green general election hustings last week, where the party spokesmen spelt out what they propose to do about climate change.Finally, why did it take a week for engineers to get a handle on the relative dangers of volcanic ash to jet engines? Air analyst Chris Yates explains to science correspondent Ian Sample.In the Newsjam, the team discovers that playing brain-training computer games won't make them any smarter; why the UK government should ban the use of manufactured trans fats in food; how a chemical known as MDAI is already replacing the banned recreational drug mephedrone; and a treasure trove of weird and wonderful animals in Borneo.Feel free to post your thoughts below.
