At the end of the Guardian's full-time, three-year coverage of the Katine project in Uganda, we ask readers to post below final thoughts on a venture linking online media with developmentNext month, the Guardian's full-time coverage of the Katine project will come to an end after three years.Much has happened since the African Medical and Research Foundation (Amref), with technical assistance from Farm-Africa, began its work in this sub-county of north-east Uganda in 2007, and many of you will have followed progress on the Katine website.Since the launch, the Guardian has sought to report on daily life in this rural community, now home to almost 30,000 people, and the challenges of implementing a development project that aimed to improve their access to healthcare, education and clean water, improve sanitation and livelihoods and empower them after years of conflict and unrest.Over the years, many of you have been keen to share with us your opinions of the project and your thoughts about development, and to mark the end of the Guardian's time in Katine – Amref's work will continue for another year - we would like you to give us your concluding remarks here. We would like to see a wide range of views and we hope to publish some of the best in a special Katine supplement in the Guardian on Saturday 30 October.Katine amrefUgandaAid and developmentInternational aid and developmentHealthWaterGovernanceAgraEducationguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Child soldier from Uganda tells of great escape from LRA
A former Ugandan child soldier publicising the plight of other enslaved young girls tells her own video story of capture, sexual abuse and escape from a rebel army Eight years ago 12-year-old Juliet was abducted from her home in northern Uganda by rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). For six years she was held captive and forced to marry a senior rebel commander. At 16 she became pregnant. She underwent an excruciatingly painful labour and her baby died in her womb before being removed by an operation with no anaesthetic by a doctor using a razor blade. She became very ill and months later eventually persuaded her captives to allow her to receive treatment at a Kenyan hospital. She escaped the rebels and was finally reunited with her family in Uganda. She is now back at school and hopes to become a lawyer to bring sexual abusers to justice.This summer Juliet (now 20) was funded by the charity, War Child, to spend a week in London publicising the plight of girls like her. She met MPs, officials from the Department for International Development and the Foreign Office, gave national radio interviews and was the catalyst for a House of Lords debate about the LRA. See her account in the video 'Juliet's story: child soldier to global campaigner', produced by Glen Milner for War Child.HealthUgandaAid and developmentInternational aid and developmentEducationHuman rightsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Nepal opens a new chapter in publishing | Jagannath Lamichhane
A growing literary hunger in Nepal means innovative marketing of books can turn a profit and help promote reading cultureA couple of years ago in Kathmandu, a pioneering publisher organised a grand outdoor event to launch the Nepali translation of John Wood's book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the World. It was first time I – and many others – had seen such an event in Nepal and it was packed with book lovers, eminent personalities and the media.The book's author was a Microsoft executive until he went on a trekking holiday in the Himalayas and developed a mission to educate underprivileged children around the world.The launch event took a surprise turn when Pashupathi Neupane from Lamjung, who was instrumental in changing the direction of Wood's life, appeared on the stage. Wood, who had not been expecting him, was overwhelmed and jumped to embrace him. The moistened eyes of Wood and Neupane moved the audience, and the media's cameras captured that emotional moment.Since then, more than 20,000 copies of the book have been sold and the publisher, Fine Print, has donated 1m rupees (£14,000) to build a school in Chitwan district where Maoists blasted a passenger bus with a landmine during the insurgency.Wood's book showed that in Nepal innovative marketing can not only help to earn a profit but can also help to promote reading culture and build society.Last month, more than 100,000 book lovers visited the 14th Nepal Education and Book Fair in Kathmandu.Along with international publishers – Penguin, Rupa, HarperCollins, etc – who were competing to sign Nepali authors such as Manjushree Thapa, Samrat Upadhaya, Mahendra Lawoti, Karna Shakya and others, China also participated in the book fair for the first time.In establishing school and community libraries across the country ネパールで成長している文。飢餓は、利益を出すことができる本の革新的なマーケティングを意味し、前カトマンズ、先駆的な出版社の年のcultureAカップルを読む促進、立ち去る壮大な屋外イベントのジョンウッドの本のネパールの翻訳を開始する組織のマイクロソフトを変更する世界

- China orders journalists to retrain in communist theory
China wants to crack down on press freedom and introduce a new training system that requires journalists to train in Marxist and communist theories of news.Li Dongdong, deputy director of the General Administration of Press andPublication, told the South China Morning Post that some mainland reporters were giving Chinese journalism a bad name because they were not properly trained. Under communist theories of journalism, media should support the leadership rather than operate as a watchdog.The initiative seems to be aimed at mainland journalists only.Chinese officials already routinely censor journalists, but Chinese media has become less restricted in recent years as they have gained more revenue from independent sources via advertising. In 2008, Li Changqing was awarded the World Association of Newspapers Golden Pen of Press Freedom award after serving a three-year jail sentence imposed by Chinese authorities for reporting on an outbreak of dengue fever in Fuzhou province in 2004 before authorities had admitted it.

- Guardian Election Daily: In David Cameron country
David Cameron's journey began with an idyllic upbringing in Oxfordshire moving through an expensive education at Eton and Oxford followed by election to represent the safe Conservative seat of Witney. He is the bookies' favourite to be Britain's next prime minister. With this in mind we travelled to Oxfordshire to hear from some of the people who will help elect him, and some of those standing on the ballot against him. Meanwhile in Dunfermline, Fife, our Scotland correspondent Severin Carrell has been hearing from neighbours of Gordon Brown. He's standing in the nearby Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency – a seat he has held through various boundary changes since 1983.Brown's close allies in the Labour party have been all but advocating tactical voting to keep the Conservatives out today – a move criticised by former Speaker Betty Boothroyd.And in south London, with just one full day of campaigning to go, Jon Dennis has been hearing from voters who have still not made up their minds.Leave your thoughts below – our final pre-election podcast will be available tomorrow afternoon.Michael WhitePhil MaynardSeverin CarrellJon DennisTim Maby

- Genghis Khan still points the way forward for Mongolians
Drought and hard winters have ravaged the country, but Mongolians in Ulan Bator and on the steppe beyond are resilient and remain optimistic about their country's futureI was in Mongolia to look at the past, but in the end it was the future that surprised me most. The Mongolian Airlines flight out of Seoul leaves not from the shining upper storeys of the new Incheon terminal but from a dustier lower level better suited to frontier departures. If the red-cheeked Mongols and the odd smattering of trekkers needed any further confirmation of the untamed nature of their destination, an announcement that the flight was delayed indefinitely due to gale force winds in Ulan Bator was quite enough.Eventually, towards sunset, we came into the proudly named Genghis Khan international airport, gliding low over an endless vista of shadowy hills and golden grassy plains. Warned that drought and harsh winters had decimated herds, bringing the nomads into squatter camps on the outskirts of the capital, I was prepared for something akin to the wild west but found this not quite so. Admittedly, the airport recalls former Soviet times, but the city centre, while small, is clean and boasts a number of quite passable hotels.With a population of two and a half million, Mongolia, it seems, also has hope. A young, well-educated Mongol tells me that the country can build its economy by cautious dealings with China, that the small population makes it easier for the government to manage change, and that he plans to travel abroad so that he can return with his young family and make his mark in the new Mongolia.Mongolian national identity is vested in its nomadic past, and inevitably in its heroic age under Genghis Khan. A short distance outside the capital, in a wide grassy valley, a massive stainl 干ばつと厳しい冬には、国を破壊したが、モンゴルウランバートルで超えてステップでは、弾力性のあるされ、その国のfutureI楽観モンゴルでは、過去を見ていた残りますが、最終的には最も私を驚かせた未来でした

Eugenia Appiah, founder of Ghana's Young Educators, explains she's worried about the time its youth spend with technologyIt was a conversation with my six-year-old niece that first inspired me. She explained that her goal in life was to be a beauty queen. She said that way she'd get a car and a house for free.I realised that we are sending the wrong signals to our young ones. Society is becoming more individualistic, moving away from the traditional family orientation. We have economic, social and class divisions; that wasn't the case 20 or 25 years ago.And today they live in the midst of all of the 21st-century distractions, with an excess of technology and, in urban areas, a minimum of space. Children stick to computers and see education as a chore. Reading is synonymous with education and the only books they ever read are textbooks.I decided I'd love to create a forum for children to come together to learn without really noticing that they are learning. I knew about the Scripps Spelling Bee, which has been going in America for more than 80 years, so I sent an email to ask if Ghana could participate.Luckily the movie Akeelah and the Bee was around and the young people identified with the idea and wanted to participate.It's now in its third year and we are getting lots of requests from other African countries who want to be part of our spelling bee.I'm appalled that the UK does not run a similar spelling competition for English-speaking countries, and I think it is something that the English Speaking Union (ESU) could do. It is ironic that Americans are running an 'English' spelling competition, but the English don't do it with their own language.American English is taking over, and they are doing it deliberately.

- Michael Tomasky: Eye on Florida -- a big election
It now looks as if Charlie Crist, the Republican Florida governor, is going to bolt the party and run for Senate as an independent. The subject at hand is an education bill he just vetoed. Here's what happened, from today's NYT:Passions have not run so high in Florida, the governor said, since the controversy over ending the life of Terri Schiavo in 2005. This time, the point of contention was eliminating tenure for Florida public school teachers and tying their pay and job security to how well their students were learning. On Thursday, Mr. Crist picked a side, vetoing a bill passed last week by the Florida Legislature that would have introduced the most sweeping teacher pay changes in the nation. The veto puts Mr. Crist, a moderate Republican, at odds with his party base in the Republican-controlled Legislature. His decision has also renewed speculation that he might drop out of the Republican primary for a United States Senate seat and run in the general election as an independent. For months, he has been trailing the more conservative Republican candidate, Marco Rubio, a Tea Party favorite, in polls.Polls generally have been showing Rubio beating Crist in a GOP primary, but Crist running well or even leading in a three-way general election running as an independent against Rubio and putative Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek.If the Democrats know what's good for them, and I think in this case they do, they'll move heaven and earth to defeat Rubio. He is, without question, the biggest long-term electoral threat to the Democrats that exists in the entire country. Read that sentence again. The.

Joyce Ekere Tibananuka was recently appointed new livelihoods officer in Katine, Uganda, for the African Medical and Research Foundation. Here she tells Joseph Malinga about her plans to help farmers make cash from cropsFrom your vast experience of working with poor communities to address issues of food insecurity, what do you think can help Katine solve its own food problem?Joyce Ekere Tibananuka: The Katine community does not have chronic food insecurity. It is transient. There is a lot of food. Amref has trained farmers in water and soil conservation, soil fertility, building and maintenance. We are also giving farmers seeds that are early-maturing and resistant to drought, so we are sure they can gain something. Besides we are building in other components like health, water and sanitation and education to support farmers in overcoming food insecurity. A healthy body is important just like education and clean safe water. If God's will is with us, we shall overcome this problem of food insecurity. Amref is finding coping strategies for the drought ─ people previously sold their animals while others had the village saving and loan associations (VSLA) from which they got money to buy food. We are going to strengthen those strategies to enable the community to cope with any famine attacks. In Teso, there is usually a spirit of sharing. This also helped many families as a number of them sought help from their relatives who were doing fairly well. We are not going to give them money but they can use the money they receive from their VSLAs in a sustainable way. I'm quite sure that people in Katine will not face food shortages because, from my visits, I have discovered a lot of food crops grown such as maize, cassava, millet, rice and potatoes, and all at different stages of ジョイスEkere Tibananukaは最近Katine、ウガンダで、新しい生活の役員アフリカ医療研究財団の任命された

- Singapore's policy keeps drugs at bay | Michael Teo
Many criticise using the death penalty against those in the drug trade, but our strategy has saved thousands from addictionDrug abuse blights modern societies. That is why many governments are focused on tackling addiction, preventing drug-related crimes and ultimately protecting their populations. Singapore's tough stand and use of strict laws and stiff penalties against those involved in the drug trade, including capital punishment, have sometimes come under criticism. The comment by Patrick Gallahue and Rick Lines of the International Harm Reduction Association prompted by the trial of a drug trafficker, Yong Vui Kong, and the imposition of the death penalty on him, is a recent instance.Singapore pursues a comprehensive national strategy to combat the scourge of drugs, comprising a high-profile public education campaign, treatment and rehabilitation of drug offenders, as well as strict laws and stiff penalties against those involved in the drug trade.Public education against drug abuse starts in schools. For abusers, our approach is to try hard to wean them off drugs and deter them from relapsing. They are given two chances in a drug rehabilitation centre. If they go through counselling, kick their drug habit and return to society with useful skills, they will not have any criminal record. Those who are still addicted go to prison, where they are put on general rehabilitation programmes to help them reintegrate into the community.Strong community support against drug abuse has been critical to our fight against drugs. Singapore society resolutely rejects drug abuse. Several voluntary welfare organisations run halfway houses to help recovering addicts adjust back into society. Many employers also come forward to offer reformed drug addicts employment opportunities.Dru 多くの批判者麻薬取引に反対死刑を使用して、しかし、我々の戦略は、現代社会を虐。虫害をaddictionDrugから何千人も保存されています

- Michael Tomasky: Obama and winning and losing
Politico co-editors Harris and VandeHei have co-authored a big think piece today, the kind of thing designed to generate conversation, so let's have one. They write:The imminent passage of financial reform, just a couple months after the passage of comprehensive health care, should decisively end the narrative that President Obama represents a Jimmy Carter-style case of naïve hope crushed by the inability to master Washington.Yet the mystery remains: Having moved swiftly toward achieving the very policy objectives he promised voters as a candidate, Obama is still widely perceived as flirting with a failed presidency......When he came into office, the assumption even among some Democrats was that he was a dazzling politician and communicator who might prove too unseasoned at governance to win substantive achievements. The reality is the opposite. You can argue over whether Obama's achievements are good or bad on the merits. But especially after Thursday's vote you can't argue that Obama is not getting things done. To the contrary, he has, as promised, covered the uninsured, tightened regulations, started to wind down the war in Iraq and shifted focus and resources to Afghanistan, injected more competition into the education system and edged closer to a big energy bill. The problem is that he and his West Wing turn out to be not especially good at politics, or communications — in other words, largely ineffective at the very things on which their campaign reputation was built. And the promises he made in two years of campaigning turn out to be much less appealing as actual policies.They're basically right here, I think. Later in the piece they go on to observe that Obama is an ideological Zelig who hasn't defined his own ideological view in the way Bill Clinton did: Obama 政治の共同編集者ハリスとバンドハイの共同作品の今日、事の会話を生成するために設計されたような大きな考えを執筆ので、1つを持ってしてみましょうている

Tomorrow: population; Sunday: economy; Monday: crime; Tuesday: education; Wednesday: environment; Thursday: health; Friday: politicsWhen John Maynard Keynes surveyed the world in the 1930s, his concern was that Britain, then the greatest empire in the world, faced having too few people. Today the issue is of over- rather than under-population. By 2050 Britain for the first time in history will become the most populous nation in western Europe.The last three decades have seen an upward swing in British women's fertility - who thanks to emancipation and technology have children in their thirties and forties. Since 2001, Britons have more children but have fewer marriages. Marriage is not for life, but on average a decade in Britain. More births are out of wedlock. Abortion, legalised in 1967, has risen slowly - although this in part reflects the increase in fertility. Changes in the law and the labour market have seen women have the number of children that they say they want. This is a trend. Fathers have also seen paternity rights and responsibilities become part of public debate.Economics as ever drives decisions on who lives where. No surprise perhaps the south east boomed. If trends continue Milton Keynes will probably become a bigger city than Liverpool and Nottingham by the middle of the century. What was not considered in the past was the inevitability of population ageing - as life expectancy improves. By 2050 more than half of Britons will be fifty or older.

- Are you smarter than an American on religion? | Richard Adams
The average American only got half of the questions right in this quiz on religious knowledge. Can you do better?The Pew Research Centre recently surveyed Americans on their religious knowledge – and for a country where religion is so prominent, the results were surprising. Self-described atheists and agnostics out-performed every other group, barring Jews. According to Pew:Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups on a new survey of religious knowledge, outperforming evangelical Protestants, mainline Protestants and Catholics on questions about the core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions.On average, Americans correctly answer 16 of the 32 religious knowledge questions on the survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life. Atheists and agnostics average 20.9 correct answers. Jews and Mormons do about as well, averaging 20.5 and 20.3 correct answers, respectively. Protestants as a whole average 16 correct answers; Catholics as a whole, 14.7. Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons perform better than other groups on the survey even after controlling for differing levels of education.Part of the quiz is online and you can take it for yourself right here and see how you compare with Americans who took the quiz by gender, religious belief and education. A word of warning, at least three of the questions have an obvious US angle, making them tricky for non-Americans to answer.

The effects of communism's collapse on a group of Chinese factory workers are explored in a fascinating semi-documentaryThis riveting Chinese semi-documentary uses interviews with real factory workers and composite figures played by well-known actors to trace half a century of life in Chengdu, an ugly, polluted industrial city in Sichuan province. In 1958, 4,000 employees were shifted there from the north-east when a secret government establishment for manufacturing and servicing military equipment was relocated for strategic purposes. For years the employees received higher pay and superior education and health benefits to the area's natives, but these gradually declined in changing times, and two years ago the site was sold for luxury housing and a shopping mall.It's a desperately sad story about the collapse or betrayal of communism and the fate of its victims, though it's not that different from life under capitalism as reported by Michael Moore in his documentaries set in Detroit and other parts of America's industrial Rust Belt. The most moving sequence cuts between a chorus of women singing the Internationale and the final demolition of the factory, ending in a thick cloud of dust and debris.DramaWorld cinemaChinaPhilip Frenchguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Greece: Under a Byzantine shroud
The great and the good in Davos yesterday all denied that Greece was about to default on its public debt, sell a chunk of it to China or leave the eurozone. The newly elected prime minister, George Papandreou, said his country was being targeted by speculators and was capable of raising money on the markets. Germany and France denied a report in Le Monde that they were considering giving Greece extra help, as the cost of insuring government debt leapt this week. Even billionaire George Soros, who has bet against countries in the past and won, was confident that Greece would make it.This was more than just a rumour mill. Greece has to sell 。53bn of debt this year to reduce its budget deficit, which is the largest in the EU, and the bond markets are not unnaturally sceptical about the government's ability to do this. For the best part of three decades, prime ministers have come and gone, daunted, and in the end defeated, by Greece's inability to bite the bullet of public sector reform. Now that era is coming to an end: the euro itself is coming under pressure and quitting it would be a disaster for Greece. The most frequently cited candidate for reform is the pension system, which, if left to its own devices, would gobble up 20.6% of the country's GDP by 2040. But there are others. Mr Papandreou has promised to replace only one civil servant for every five who retire, which sounds draconian until you learn that no one knows how many civil servants the government employs. The same Byzantine shroud falls over budget management. It is difficult to know how much is being spent on education, as opposed to how much is being spent on the ministry of education, which is a different thing.So there are two problems in trying to tame this beast: the machinery of government is not fi とのダボスで良い素晴らしい昨日のすべては、ギリシャについては、公的債務は、デフォルトにされ、中国に対しても、そのチャンクの販売やユーロ圏のままに拒否されました
- Kenyans fear a repeat of 2007 bloodshed | Waithaka Waihenya
The grenade attack in Kenya does not bode well for the forthcoming referendum on the country's constitutionSunday 13 June 2010 will go down as a day of infamy in Kenya. It was the day a blast ripped through a park full of people who had attended what had been billed as a religious event but which turned out to be a campaign meeting for those opposed to the referendum on a new constitution.The two grenades that detonated in Nairobi in the late hours of Sunday left at least six people dead and scores more injured, and immediately set off a blame game from both sides, those who are backing the proposed constitution (now dubbed the Greens) and those opposed to it (the Reds).Who could have been behind the attack? A shocked country is searching for the answer. This is not the first time the country has experienced killer explosions – recall the August 1998 bomb blast in the US embassy in Nairobi – but it was the first serious attack at a referendum or election campaign.In the last two months, Kenyans have been gripped by what is now being called referendum fever. The proposed constitution has polarised the country in much the same way it did in 2005, when the first serious attempt at a new constitution was made and defeated.Just as in 2005, President Mwai Kibaki is supporting the proposed constitution. But he has found an unlikely ally in his prime minister, Raila Odinga, who was on the opposing side in 2005. Both are having to ride a fierce tide of opposition from some of their cabinet ministers led by higher education minister William Ruto, an erstwhile ally of Raila Odinga's and the Christian community.The Reds have been traversing the country to drum up opposition to the document. Likewise, the Greens have been ratcheting up their yes campaign. But nobody thought that thi ケニアの手榴弾の攻撃も、国のconstitutionSunday 2010年6月13日に迫った国民投票のための下がるだろう前兆ではないとして、ケニアの汚名の日
- Why Canadian teachers want to buy our railway
The retired teachers from Ontario have invested their pension fund in several UK ventures - now they have bid for the high-speed railwayA retirement fund set up for state-school teachers in Canada sounds like a sensible, provincial operation – not the obvious choice to own a railway. But this week, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan was touted as a likely bidder for Britain's first high-speed railway, which the government put up for auction on Monday.Tasked with looking after the retirement cash of 289,000 teachers, the fund is no stranger to snapping up British assets – it already owns almost half of Bristol airport, is buying Camelot (which runs the National Lottery), owns a chunk of Northumbrian Water and recently bought special-needs education and fostering provider Acorn. Closer to home, it part-owns an ice hockey team – the Toronto Maple Leafs.It wasn't always so impressive – in 1989 Teachers (as it is more jauntily known) was run by the state and all its investments were government bonds. Now the plan invests in companies directly – cutting out the money managers who usually pick out private equity for pension plans – and has a staggering $96.4bn in assets. But sadly, unless you are willing to emigrate and discover a vocation for teaching, there's no hope of joining this golden pension scheme.Rail transportTransportCanadaPensionsInvestment fundsInvestmentsTeachingHoma Khaleeliguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Stick to what you know best, Wyclef Jean | Garry Pierre-Pierre
Wyclef Jean is a savvy entertainer, but he lacks the political nous to give Haiti the leadership it desperately needs and deservesWhen Jean Claude Duvalier and his fashionable wife, Michelle, were whisked away into a comfortable French exile in February 1986, their departure brought about a democratic experiment that many believe two decades later would have brought Haiti into a land of prosperity.But that transition from a despotic society to a democratic one has not been smooth, to put it mildly. In many ways there are signs that the country has taken significant steps backward while making a few forward steps. While there have been at least three marginal successful presidential elections since 1990, the country appears stuck with little progress being made both economically and politically.Despite the devastation brought about by the earthquake, presidential season is upon us and the presidential elections are scheduled for late November. Late last week at least three dozen candidates filed their petition to be president of Haiti, a job that many say is the toughest challenge in the world. Among the throng is the Grammy award-winning hip hop artist, Wyclef Jean, Haiti's most famous son.Jean's candidacy has created quite a stir. Many have all but proclaimed him the next president, not taking into account the challenges that he faces in having the electoral council accepting his candidacy, and then there is the daunting task of facing his opponents that are well-steeped in Haitian politics. If he manages to get that far, Jean must govern and fulfil all of the unrealistic expectations that he has tacitly promised. In an interview on CNN last week as he was announcing his candidacy, Jean said he would make education, healthcare and job creation his top priorities.

- Sarah Boseley explains: What's happened to the UK's health?
The Guardian's health editor introduces our health factfile - and the full dataset behind it• Get the data• Tomorrow: politicsHealth, as the work of Professor Sir Michael Marmot most recently eloquently demonstrated, is in no small part a function of where and to whom you were born. The most deprived communities, where jobs are low-paid if not scarce and those who make it to university are a talking point rather than the norm, are also those where cancer rates, heart disease and strokes are high. One government after another has been uncomfortably aware of this and made promises to do something about it. It has always defeated them.But while the health inequality gap persists, the UK's health overall has been getting better. Comprehensive childhood immunisation programmes have virtually wiped out some diseases. Smoking has become the number one public health target, and although we still struggle to get certain groups - young women and people in those deprived areas particularly - to quit, the public smoking ban, high taxes and campaigns have had an impact that must show up in lower rates of lung and other cancers and reduced heart disease. Diagnosis and treatment of cancer has improved - even if we still trail much of Europe in death rates. The politicians (and the drug companies) argue that is because we don't buy the newest, most expensive cancer drugs. The cancer tsar, Professor Mike Richards, will tell you it is because we are slow to diagnose the disease, especially in those deprived areas (again) where men and women do not stride into the GP's surgery demanding attention.In recent years, the health gap has become visible, manifesting itself in obesity, which is often most rife among those with less money and less education, who are more likely to buy affordable a ガーディアンの健康エディタは我々の健康factfileを紹介 - と背後には、データ•明日：politicsHealth教授サーマイケルマーモットの仕事最近雄弁に示すように入手してください？完全なデータセットはごく一部にの関数であると相手に生まれた

A lot of them are not there because of loyalty to the government in Kabul, but because they need to make some money to feed their family.They were of all ages. Some were in their early 60s. Some could barely hold their weapons because of their experiences of the civil wars in the past 30 years. Some were bright and some young with a basic standard of education.

- How the British presence in Sangin restored trust in government
The Taliban are still present in the region, but they are no longer conducting business as usualSangin should have been the easiest place in all of Afghanistan for the Taliban to hold. It is extremely isolated, and its people are incredibly impoverished, poorly educated and dependent on the narcotics industry. They have historically fiercely opposed any foreign presence (including Afghans from other parts of the country). Instead, thanks largely to the efforts of British troops, it is very much in play – if the Afghan government wants to look after it.In 2006, Britain's effectiveness in Helmand and Sangin was more than debatable. Isolated and sparsely populated Sangin was not a priority when the overall number of Nato forces in Helmand was absurdly low. But the situation there has improved markedly over the last year, and especially in the last few months, and the pressure Isaf forces in Sangin have absorbed has allowed more rapid progress to be made in central Helmand, which is more densely populated. It took the better part of four years to get the process moving, but British forces finally succeeded in getting more of the local population to believe in – and work with – the Afghan government. How?First, the continued presence of British troops in the district illustrated the fallacy of the Taliban's propaganda. Locals realised that UK forces were not out to murder them or take their land, but there to help. Second, the new governor Mohammed Sharif – who is literate and trusted by the population – has served as a legitimate interlocutor. British forces created the space for Sharif to govern effectively. In return, the locals have refused to blindly support the Taliban. Instead, they are engaged in a genuine dialogue with the Afghan government about what public service タリバンはまだ地域に存在しているが、彼らはもはやビジネスを行ってusualSanginは、タリバンの保持するために、すべてのアフガニスタンの最も簡単な場所をされている必要がありますとおりです
- Women must be leaders in faith | Shaista Gohir
A woman led Muslim prayers in Oxford last week. Her actions and those of others like her, across faiths, deserve our supportSo far, it seems only Muslim women from abroad dare lead men in Friday prayers in the UK. A Canadian, Raheel Raza, became the second Muslim woman to do so at the Muslim Educational Centre in Oxford last week. An African-American convert, Amina Wadud, was the first Muslim woman to lead mixed prayers at the same centre in 2008. It's not surprising that British Muslim women are not brave enough to follow their footsteps – both have been demonised after leading men in prayers in their own countries.Why is the idea of female imams so controversial amongst many Muslims? When Amina Wadud shocked the world in 2005 by leading mixed-gender Friday prayers in New York, I must admit even I felt uncomfortable. I had been brought up to believe only men could be imams, something I never questioned until recently.An honest study of Islamic texts reveals that women are not forbidden to lead men in prayer – the Qur'an does not even address this issue. In fact the conditions required are Islamic knowledge, skill and piety – none of which are gender related. However, (mostly male) scholars maintain there is consensus on the impermissibility of women leading men in prayer despite lack of evidence to back up their position. In many quarters, this issue is not even open to debate, despite the fact that centuries ago it was discussed without controversy and a diversity of opinions was respected. According to female scholar Halima Krausen, a number of male scholars, such as Abu Thawr al-Kalbi, Abu Isma'il al-Muzani, al-Isfahani, at-Tabari and Ibn Taymiyya, had nothing against women leading mixed prayers.

- How not to liberate women | Judith Sunderland
Restrictions on women wearing the veil in public life are as much a violation of their rights as is forcing them to wear a veilMuslim veiling is once again at the top of the news in Europe. Bans on full-face veils being considered or already in place, whether nationwide, at the municipal level, or applied in public buildings and transportation, undermine Muslim women's autonomy and religious freedom. Arguments put forward to support these bans fall into four categories, none of which stand up to serious scrutiny.Banning the veil will liberate women. Generalisations about women's oppression under the veil do a tremendous disservice to one of the basic tenets of gender equality: a woman's right to self-determination and autonomy. Restrictions on women wearing the veil in public life are as much a violation of the rights of women as is forcing them to wear a veil. Muslim teachers in Germany we interviewed said they wore the headscarf out of choice. Bans on headscarves in some German states have led many teachers to abandon their chosen profession, leading to loss of independence, social standing and financial wellbeing. It is clear that many Muslim women in Europe who cover themselves do so out of choice. For those who are coerced, general bans would limit, if not eliminate, their ability to seek advice and support. It may leave them trapped at home, further isolated from society. European governments need to support these women, with better access to education, justice and employment, rather than put them under more pressure.The veil should be banned for security reasons. A wholesale ban on the full Muslim veil is a disproportionate response to the legitimate need in a variety of situations to ascertain someone's identity.

- Kurdish rebels suspected of Istanbul bus bombing
At least four dead and 12 injured in Turkey after roadside bomb blast hits a bus carrying military personnel and their familiesSuspected Kurdish rebels detonated a remote-controlled bomb in Istanbul today, killing four people and wounding 12 on a bus carrying military personnel and their families.Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu said two of the wounded were in a critical condition following the early morning attack. The state-run Anatolia agency said the dead included the 17-year-old daughter of an officer.Kurdish rebels have staged bomb attacks in Istanbul in the past but the last large bomb attack in the city was in 2007, when 17 people were killed.Kurdish rebels fighting for autonomy in the country's Kurdish-dominated south-east have stepped up their attacks on Turkish targets this month, and have threatened to expand their war to cities in the west of the country.The roadside bomb went off in a quiet side road as the bus passed by shortly after leaving a military housing complex, NTV television said.CNN-Turk television said there was no immediate claim of responsibility but that Kurdish rebels are believed to be behind the attack. The rebel group rarely claims credit for its attacks.Turkish troops killed seven Kurdish rebels in the country's north and south-east in two separate clashes overnight, the Anatolia agency said. The rebels have killed at least 13 soldiers in the region since Friday.Kurdish rebels dramatically stepped up their attacks on 1 June, accusing Turkey of not establishing dialogue with them or imprisoned Kurdish rebel chief Abdullah Ocalan and refusing to declare an unconditional amnesty that would include top rebel leaders, or allow Kurdish language education in schools.Turkey firmly rules out dialogue with the rebel group, which is considered a terror 少なくとも4人が死亡、12、トルコの後道路脇の爆弾の爆発が負傷バス軍人とそのfamiliesSuspectedクルド人反政府勢力を運んでヒット、今日、4人が死亡イスタンブールのリモート制御爆弾を爆発、バス軍人とその家族を運んで12人が負傷した

- Is science teaching undermined by religious instruction in some state-funded faith schools? | Dr Evan Harris
The evolution-creationism debate in schools must be about religious education lessons not just science lessons. This is my blueprint for better REFrom time to time there are concerns raised that some state-funded religious schools teach creationism, or intelligent design, in their science lessons.The last Labour government and the Conservatives in opposition have always denied this is a problem and have always said that they will not stand for the teaching of creationism in science lessons. Ministers always say that creationism can't be taught in science lessons Whenever this issue cropped up in parliament I was always concerned that the debate was missing the point. It is no good teaching about evolution (which is a scientific fact) in a science lesson at 9am then at 10am, in a religious education lesson, instructing pupils not to believe it. The whole problem with RE lessons is not that they exist but that they amount to religious instruction. There is no basis for allowing state-funded schools to indoctrinate their pupils, even if that is what their parents want. They can provide this in optional after-school (or lunchtime) classes or clubs. They could even have something on a Sunday where children are taught to be believers. They could call it Sunday School! The recognition that RE lessons are proselytising is reflected in the right that parents have to withdraw their children from these lessons. In contrast, they can't withdraw their children from biology lessons even if they have profound religious objections to their being taught about sexual reproduction or evolution – these subjects are recognised as non-proselytising. Secularists like me believe that RE is a valid subject for study in the curriculum but should be about what different religions (and other worl 学校でのevolution -創造の議論は、宗教教育の授業だけでなく、理科の授業でなければなりません
- The MCB's Wonderland election | Madeleine Bunting
The vote for a new leader of the Muslim Council of Britain points up worrying fissuresImagine an election with only one declared candidate running … and he is not going to win. It may sound like a form of democracy better devised in Alice's Wonderland, but unfortunately it's home-grow n: this is how the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is due to decide on its next leader this Sunday.Over the past few years, the MCB has been repeatedly lambasted in the media; its sins range from tolerating hate preachers, officers who embroil the organisation in the complex politics of the Middle East, failing to educate its affiliate mosques in the rules of inter-faith relations and an intermittent refusal to attend Holocaust Memorial Day. Under this barrage, the MCB has been relegated to the sidelines of British public life. The Labour government, after initial enthusiastic patronage, pointedly turned its back and cut all links until it could get its house in order.Meanwhile, the other side of the story are the deep divisions that exist within the MCB. The tiny team in the Tower Hamlets office walk a tightrope, placating their 500-odd membership who are as reluctant to pay their dues as they are demanding of the MCB to stem what they see as a rising tide of Islamophobia. The resulting combination of high expectations and precarious finances does much to explain the kind of caution and nervousness that seems to weigh down the MCB officials. They have that appearance of hunkering down, always fearful of the next storm that could shipwreck the whole outfit.While some parts of the media seem to see the MCB as an Islamist front, part of a powerful network on the march for Europe-wide domination, the reality is rather more prosaic, struggling to pay for tea bags and the telephone bill, and in _NULL_

- Budget undermines progress on Roma inclusion | Ethel Brooks
Compared with the US, Britain has been a model for inclusion of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers – but that is now under threatAs Britain debates the budget proposed by the Conservative-Liberal Democratic government, there is one population that could be gravely affected by the outcome of those debates whose voice has not been widely heard: Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities throughout the UK.I am a Romany woman whose ancestors migrated to the United States from England a century and a half ago. From my perspective, as an American Romany, from a country where we are neither recognised as making up part of society nor seen as anything other than criminal elements or mythical subjects, it is heartening – in fact, inspiring – to see the progress made over the past decade around Gypsy Roma Traveller history, culture and social welfare provision in the UK.Unfortunately, that progress is currently in danger. Even as Britain's third annual Gypsy, Roma, Traveller history month was celebrated last month, we have seen threats to Gypsy-Traveller site provision on the one hand, and general cuts to health, education and social welfare provision, on the other. A particularly egregious proposal, put forward by the communities minister, Eric Pickles, would target private sites, allowing the government to evict people from their own land and closing down sites with temporary permits, which would, in the end, drive people back to the sides of the road. This particular proposal would cost the government more than it would save, allowing anti-Gypsyism to trump the purported goal of balancing the budget.At this moment, Britain has the chance to be a model of best practice in its treatment of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers; the current government, however, is at risk of wasting the opportunity 米国と比べると、英国はジプシー、ローマと旅行を含めるためのモデルとなっている - だが、今threatAsで予算は、保守党自民党民主党政府の提案英国討論、そこに重々しくoutcomeによって影響を受ける可能性が1の人口ですその声に広く耳にされていない：ジプシーは、ローマとトラベラーコミュニティUK.I全体祖先米国に世紀の英国から半前に移行ローマニー女性ですこれらの議論の
- High hopes in Ghana as country prepares to cheer on Black Stars
Ghanaians will be glued to their TVs when the nation's footballing heroes take on Uruguay in the World Cup quarter-finalAnywhere you go in Ghana this week, the talk is of the World Cup. Whatever activity the country's 23 million citizens undertake, reminders of the Black Stars are never far away.The flag – red, gold and green with a black star in its centre – is now displayed in even the most obscure places. The team's qualification for the quarter-finals of the competition has brought about a renewed confidence among Ghanaians.TV reporters wear Ghana shirts during their live TV shows and, last Monday, Ghana's MPs spent a lot of time at parliament showering praises on the team.Sadly, after Ghana beat the USA last Saturday, five football fans died while celebrating and a dozen others were hospitalised. Journalists are now educating football fans about the way to celebrate safely if Ghana beat Uruguay tomorrow.Fans fear for the team's chances without inspirational midfielder Andre Dede Ayew, who will be missing after picking up two yellow cards.What football fans in Ghana are saying is that the Black Stars are the pacesetters in African football. They take inspiration from becoming the first African side to win the Fifa Under 20 World Cup last year.The belief in Ghana now is that if the Stars were the first African side to win a match at the 2010 World Cup and the only African side to make it into the knockout stages, then there is no reason why they won't be the first side from Africa to make it into a World Cup semi-final.GhanaWorld Cup 2010Ghanaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- In Kansas City, school's out | Sasha Abramsky
The closure of almost half of Kansas City's schools shows what can happen when the wealthy opt out, and services sufferTwenty-nine out of 61 Kansas City, Missouri, schools will soon be shuttered in a desperate bid by the struggling school district to stave off bankruptcy. At the same time, close to one-quarter of the city's school employees will lose their jobs.While many districts around the country are closing under-enrolled-in or low-performing schools in an effort to save money, the scale of KC's decision puts it in a league of its own. Students around the city will be disrupted by the changes, as they lose teachers, have to travel further to school each morning, and possibly see their class sizes grow.The number of students in Kansas City's public schools – 18,000 – would indicate that it is a small town. But there's not much that's small about Kansas City. In fact, the core of the city, which is Missouri's largest urban hub, has nearly half a million residents, and the broader metro area is home to approximately 2 million people.Yet for decades its public schools have been in crisis and have haemorrhaged students.For 26 years, Kansas City was under the largest court-ordered desegregation plan in American education history. At first this provided an opportunity to improve the system, injecting $2bn into local schools. But over time the benefits unleashed by the case were undermined by opposing demographic and political trends: Kansas City was bedeviled by white flight; and, eventually, it saw a near-total exodus of the middle classes, of all colours, into suburban school districts, charter schools and private schools. A few years ago, eight schools went so far as to secede from the school district, joining a suburban district that provided more resources to student カンザスシティの学校のほぼ半分を閉鎖したとき何が裕福なオプトアウトすると、サービスsufferTwentyが発生することができます9 61カンザスシティ、ミズーリ州、学校、すぐに苦しんで学区が必死で閉鎖されるのうち破産を食い止めるために示しています

Harvard was still most popular among the 5,000 employers polled worldwide, but Cambridge was voted best for research quality in a survey of 15,000 academics and took overall first place. The rankings also use citation counts from a database of academic publishing.The Times Higher Education magazine, which is publishing its own global university rankings next week, is no longer collaborating with QS. The magazine is concerned that these rankings rely too heavily on subjective surveys of scholars and employers and not enough on hard indicators of excellence.

- Briton arrested at Schiphol airport on suspected terrorist involvement
Man apprehended in Amsterdam en route from Liverpool to Uganda after tip-off from UK authoritiesA British man has been arrested at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on suspicion of possible involvement in terrorism, Dutch authorities said today.The man, of Somali origin, was held after flying in from Liverpool en route to Entebbe in Uganda. He was detained by Dutch military police while sitting on an aircraft that was ready to depart.The arrest followed a tip-off from UK authorities. The man is suspected of possible involvement with an unspecified foreign terrorist organisation.Security at the airport was beefed up this year after the abortive Christmas Day terrorism attack involving Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a British-educated Nigerian. He attempted to detonate explosives in his underwear shortly before his flight from Schiphol to Detroit landed, before being tackled by passengers and crew.The apparent plot led to plans for many airports, including in the UK, to install full body image scanners to detect concealed explosives.Last month, two Yemeni men were arrested at Schiphol after flying in from Chicago, on suspicion they may have been conducting a dry run for an airline terror attack. The two were held for several days then released without charge after an investigation turned up no evidence to link them to a terror plot.A Foreign Office spokeswoman said she was aware of today's arrest and was seeking more information.Global terrorismUK security and terrorismNetherlandsUgandaAir transportPeter Walkerguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Bill Regan obituary
I first met my friend and former boss Bill Regan, who has died aged 91, when he appointed me as his assistant at Rhymney Engineering in south-east Wales in 1967. As a manager, Bill was unflappable and the epitome of quiet, determined professionalism.Bill was born in Southampton and moved to Cardiff aged three. He was educated at Gabalfa school and St Joseph's school in Cardiff, and was an altar boy at St Joseph's Catholic church. He joined the engineering company Powell Duffryn straight from school.He was a member of the territorial army and, on the outbreak of war in 1939, joined the Royal Corps of Signals before transferring to the Third Gurkha Rifles and shipping out to India in 1941. Bill's account of the war can be found in a memoir, Most Fortunate Person, which his family discovered after his death. The memoir has descriptions of bayonet charges; escaping the Japanese by scaling trees in the jungle; shooting deadly mamba; and improvised surgery with a Gurkha knife.In 1946, following demob, Bill rejoined Powell Duffryn as a manage- ment trainee and qualified as a charter- ed secretary. He once more met his neighbour's daughter, Margaret, and they married in 1951. They were part of a co-op of 30 couples who built their own houses in Cardiff.Bill was allocated financial and commercial responsibilities by Powell Duffryn for the joint venture at Rhymney which became Hymac. He later joined American Hoist, a manufacturer of cranes, oil rig equipment and excavators, and spent 10 happy years building their European presence.He retired in 1984 and enjoyed playing golf and watching rugby and athletics. Margaret died in 2002. Bill is survived by his children, John, Gillian, Michael and Cecilia, and by 10 grandchildren.

- Letters: Tolerance is a tricky business
Perhaps we should burn all the Qur'ans and, while we're at it, all the Bibles and any other book that, judging by recent events, teaches us to make enemies of those who disagree with us. Whoops! I think I've just done that myself. Tolerance is a tricky business, isn't it? Even for an atheist. But maybe a sense of humour would help (Comment, 14 September).Jan McCannTotnes, Devon• At last someone has spoken the truth about religions; the suppression of women and attempted control of nature's driving force, sex. If the Carpenter of Nazareth was around today, what would he make of these ridiculous old men prancing around in their fancy dress? How dare they, in their celibacy, having no inkling of normal life, lay down their ludicrous rules for the rest of us.

- Pakistan's problem is deeper than match fixing | Mustafa Qadri
Amid Pakistan's general lawlessness, is it any wonder that cricketers have lost their way?In Pakistan, cricket is a matter of special pride. Cricketers have for decades been ambassadors for a more positive image of the country and a source of hope and enjoyment for those whose everyday life is both difficult and joyless.In Pakistan, we are generally averse to public displays of hedonism, except when it comes to food (in private, of course, all bets are off). But success, or failure, in cricket provides most Pakistanis with an opportunity to express themselves in ways that would normally risk censure. When our cricket team wins, people literally dance on the street. When they lose, the effigies start burning.The hot and cold of public affection breeds a certain kind of fatalism in our elite athletes, not to mention the super-rich. When the going is good, squeeze every ounce of good fortune lest it run out tomorrow. That attitude has a lot to do with the poisonous tolerance for match-fixing that has engulfed Pakistani cricket since the 1980s.Another, ironically, is that cricket is no longer merely an elite pursuit but a ticket to unimaginable riches for some of the poorest citizens. In the past, cricketers came from the educated suburbs of the big Punjabi cities. Today, they come from the humblest of backgrounds. Mohammad Yousuf, one of the greatest, most elegant batsmen the country has produced, is the son of a Christian rail-station sweeper from Sargodha in the Punjab heartland. His gifts come not from sporting academies, but nature and the rough and tumble world of street cricket.Much like the country, Yousuf went through something of an Islamisation. After converting to Islam he lost contact with his Christian family, but his career took off. Sadly, a decade of match- パキスタンの一般的な無法の中で、それを任意の不思議なことクリケットは自分の道を失っている何ですか？パキスタンでは、クリケットは、特別な誇りの問題です
- Desmond Fernando obituary
Desmond Fernando, who has died aged 77, was a distinguished lawyer and jurist of international stature whose practice as an advocate in Sri Lanka was based on an unceasing commitment to human rights. When I visited Sri Lanka, the depth of respect and affection for Desmond within the legal profession was obvious. He was a man of integrity, great energy, modesty and charm.In a country with a democratic but often violent political system, both between Sinhalese and Tamils, but also within the Sinhalese community, Desmond fought hard to protect the independence of the judiciary and to prevent politicisation of the legal profession.In 1990 he was appointed to the rank of president's counsel in Sri Lanka, the equivalent of a QC in England and Wales.Desmond was the son of well-to-do Sinhalese parents, Peter and Mary. He was educated at St Joseph's College, in Colombo, and at the University of Colombo. He then became a law student at Keble College, Oxford, where he acquired a further degree. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1958 but soon returned to Sri Lanka and was enrolled as an advocate by the supreme court. In 1974 he became the first secretary of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) and was subsequently appointed president.Desmond was in contact with many senior politicians but had no political ambitions for himself. He opposed the idea of a separate Tamil state and strongly pressed for the removal of discrimination against Tamils, which had been the root cause of their uprising. He tried to help Tamils by ensuring that legislation was published in Tamil as well as in Sinhalese and English; by enabling Tamil to be used as a working language in the courts; and by ensuring that Tamils were treated fairly in admission to law schools and in appointment to the j デスモンドフェルナンドは、77歳で死亡した、著名な弁護士と実践スリランカの提唱者として人権絶え間ないコミットメントに基づいて国際的地位の法学者であった

- Lilian Williams obituary
My indomitable aunt Lilian Williams, who has died aged 92, lived an ordinary life – or so we believed until she was able to disclose her work at Bletchley Park during the second world war.She worked with an inner circle of translators in Hut 3 – the German Book Room (GBR) – making sure that decoded messages were transcribed accurately before being dispatched to allied commanders. The most important went directly to Winston Churchill. Some of the messages, from the Nazi high command in Berlin to Erwin Rommel and other German generals, contained details of troop movements, providing the allies with advance warning of enemy plans.Born in Aberystwyth, the second eldest of six children, to a poor family who valued education passionately, Lilian attended the local grammar school and won a state scholarship to attend the university of her choice. Her headteacher was so excited that he ran to the house to tell her family and gave the school a half-day holiday in celebration.Lilian chose University College London and studied French and German. Her skill in languages and love of crosswords made her an ideal recruit for Bletchley. By the end of the war, she was deputy head of the GBR.Instead of continuing at the Foreign Office, she then returned home to help with the family, eventually joining a leather export company in London and serving as personal secretary to the director.Lilian learned Spanish at an evening course at the City Literary Institute in London, helping to organise their student fiestas, and even persuaded the father of the former politician Michael Portillo to be one of the judges. Although she came late to Spanish, it became her favourite language.She retired to Llanfairfechan in Conwy, north Wales, and immediately immersed herself in the 私の不屈の叔母のリリアンウィリアムズは92歳で死去したが、普通の生活を - またはこれまで、彼女は第二次世界war.She中Bletchley公園で彼女の作品を公開することができた我々と信じハット3に翻訳者のインナーサークルと協力 - ドイツ語を予約ルーム（イギリス） - は、デコードされたメッセージを正確に派遣される前に転写されたことを確認し指。同盟
- About the Katine art project
To mark the end of the Katine project later this year, young people from Katine will be contributing to a piece of artwork that will be displayed at the Guardian officesSchoolchildren in Katine are to help create a piece of artwork that will be exhibited in the Guardian building in November.To mark the end of the Guardian's full-time coverage of the Katine project, young people from a number of the sub-county's primary schools and its secondary school, will be working alongside London-based community artist Ben Barbour to create a piece of work that depicts their lives and experiences in Katine.Over the coming months, the creative arts will be a major feature of the Ugandan school curriculum, so the art work should tie into work already being undertaken by the pupils.Ben visited Katine in March to speak to the young people and teachers about the idea of producing pieces of art, to conduct some classes in the schools and to find out what materials could be sourced locally for the work.Ben is now back in Katine for two weeks to begin work on the final art piece. He will also work with pupils to create pieces of art for their own schools and community. He is joined on the trip by Laurence Topham, from the Guardian's video team, who is filming the creative process.The finished artwork will be displayed in the foyer of the Guardian's building in Kings Cross, London, from November 2.About Ben BarbourBen graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 1998 with a first class BA (Hons) degree in fine art. He specialised in drawing and painting. In 2006, he completed a secondary PGCE in art and design from the Institute of Education, and the following year was awarded a postgraduate diploma in drawing from the Prince's Drawing School.Ben has received numerous awards for his work, 今年後半に、Katineから若者をKatineプロジェクトの終了を記念してKatineのガーディアンofficesSchoolchildrenに表示される作品の一部に寄与されますガーディアンの建物内に展示される作品の一部を作成するためですサブ郡の小学校の数November.Toマークガーディアンのフルタイムの終わりKatineプロジェクトの範囲は、若い人々に、その高等学校、ロンドンベースのコミュニティアーティストベンバーバーと一緒に働くことになりますから、作成する仕事の生活をKatine.Over経験数カ月描いた作品は、創造的な芸術は、ウガンダの学校のカリキュラムの主要な機能なので、アートワークは、既にした仕事pupils.Benで行われてにでKatineを訪問付けた方がいいされます3月は、若い人たちとアートの作品を作り出すアイデアについて教師に、学校で、いくつかのクラスを行ってからどのような資料は、ローカルwork.Ben for供給できる見つけるに話をすぐに戻ってKatine 2週間は、始めるのには最終的なアート作品に取り組む
- Paul Kagame set to win Rwandan election with large majority
Government likely to be re-elected despite suspicion it was behind the murders of opposition figures and a journalistRwanda's president, Paul Kagame, is set to win another seven-year term tomorrow in an election marred by several murders and a clampdown on opposition groups.About 5.2 million registered voters will choose between Kagame, who has ruled since his rebel army ended the genocide in 1994, and three low-profile candidates allied to the ruling party. The 52-year-old president won the 2003 vote with a 95% majority, and few expect a much different result this time around.Under Kagame's rule, Rwanda has been transformed from a wreck of a country to one lauded around the world for its remarkable recovery.

- Syed Mohammed Naseer obituary
My father, Professor Syed Mohammed Naseer, who has died aged 81, was a teacher and leftwing thinker of unwavering commitment. Though he spent most of his life in Pakistan, he was born in Rai Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, south of India's border with Nepal. When independence and partition came in 1947, he was a student in the nearby city of Kanpur. The following year he became general secretary of the All India Students Federation, the student wing of the Communist party of India (CPI).In 1949 he became a CPI activist and was jailed till 1953, when he gained a BA as a private candidate. He then took an MA in economics, despite what one of his teachers pointed to as his three disqualifications – being a Muslim, a Shia and a communist. Syed left for Pakistan in 1955, and married Nargis Katoon. He was appointed a lecturer at Sindh College of Commerce, Hyderabad, that year, and in 1966 principal of New Aligarh College, in Tando Adam, to the northeast of the city. Further posts followed in Karachi, Sindh's – and Pakistan's – largest city, and in 1982 Syed gained a master's in education at Alcorn State University, Mississippi. After reaching normal retirement age, he continued to teach at universities in Karachi until the age of 80.India regarded him as a diehard revolutionary, and would not grant him a visa to return until 1999. The chief security adviser commented that a professor who had turned 70 could scarcely be considered a threat, which made his visit the subject of great newspaper and television interest.Syed wrote articles for the Pakistani press, and was popular in literary and scholarly circles, particularly with young writers. He regretted that the country was developing in ways that made literature less appealing to students, and that discouraged the political activism 81歳で死亡した私の父は、教授サイードモハメッドNaseer、教師と揺るぎないコミットメントの思想家を左翼
- Michael Tomasky: Help for a friend in need
Comment number 56 on the Friday quiz thread comes from rainbowmerlin, who politely asks:this was very useful as it reminded me how little I know about many aspects of cinema. I was only recently thinking of giving myself an education in it - any suggestions for 'classic films one should watch', is there a good website to help educate yourself in cinema? (I'm not bad from the 70s onwards, though still with many gaps, but very poor before that, apart from a few classics).Let's all pitch in, shall we? My advice, RM, is that if you want to proceed methodically, you need to do it by some combination of genre and director. Start with screwball comedies, still many of the greatest movies ever made. You'll find lots of Howard Hawks there, and some Preston Sturges. But there some lesser-known directors who made great ones, like Gregory La Cava, director of My Man Godfrey, one of the best movies of all time.I guess start with the biggies of the big directors: Capra, Wilder, William Wyler, Hitchcock and so on. From the sceptred isle, don't forget those nutty Korda brothers. Amazing stuff. If you live in a city, there ought to be one snobby video store for culturally elite Brie munchers such as ourselves that arrange films by director.Folks? What are your choices?United StatesMichael Tomaskyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- French baby killings: 'It shows a disjointed, delusional frame of mind'
Women who commit neonaticide rarely have a psychotic disorder – and that's something the public find difficult to understand, writes Sandra WheatleyWomen who kill their babies within 24 hours of birth, as seems to have been the case here, are usually young and have a poor education, and it's often their first child.Those who commit neonaticide, as it's technically called, don't tend to have a mental illness. They very rarely have a psychotic disorder, and that's something that the public at large find incredibly difficult to understand.But for someone to do that eight times seems like a clinical level of problem – I would be considering the possibility of a diagnosis of a psychotic illness or a personality disorder. Although it doesn't seem to be the case here, women who kill their newborns may have been suffering from pregnancy denial syndrome – quite often they didn't want to be pregnant in the first place and refused to accept that they were. As strange as it sounds, it can also be the case that someone does not associate being pregnant with having a baby. They are quite content with being pregnant but then they have the baby and they kill it.If someone has hidden the pregnancy because they are scared or ashamed about it, one way to stop people finding out about it when it becomes a real live baby is to kill it.This woman seems to have been doing this as an extreme form of contraception. She may well have had a bad experience with her first pregnancy, as she's apparently said, but you would think that would mean she would do everything possible not to fall pregnant again.It shows a great deal of disjointed thinking and the possibility of delusions. On so many levels this is not the norm, even for a case of mental illness in pregnancy.

- Labour's wrong to get rid of Brown | Irwin Stelzer
A new leader will carry the burden of the party's mistakes but won't have Brown's expertise in protecting Britain's economyIt is a mistake for Labour to purge itself of Gordon Brown. It matters little whether Labour decides to join the execrable Lib Dems in some sort of coalition to the joy of euro-loving Peter Mandelson, or moves somewhat more elegantly into opposition. In either case, the party will be preparing for a general election in a relatively few months.The new man or woman at the helm will carry the burden of the party's record but be unable to offer the expertise to cope with the future. Yes, Brown failed to understand the social consequences of excessive immigration in his quest to keep UK labour costs competitive. Yes, he failed to support the military with the kit it needed. Yes, he allowed Ed Balls to so centralise control of the education system that teachers have become mere puppets dancing on Whitehall strings. There is more, but you get the idea. But Brown did not act alone. He had accomplices in the party: every member now being considered a possible successor supported these failed policies. The voters know that, and will remember.But they also know that the immediate problems are the appalling fiscal situation, the lingering threat of contagion from euroland, and the need to reform the global financial system in co-operation with the US. Other policies need to be put in place, but none has the urgency of these three.In my view, Labour's continuing expansion of the role of the state is a serious mistake, and not only because it is fiscally unsustainable and the nation would be better served by a reforming Conservative government.But if Labour wants another chance to persuade voters it has the right answers to the nation's woes, many of which it cre 新しい指導者は党のミスの負担を運ぶ英国のeconomyItを守るブラウンの専門知識を持っていないが間違い労働党はゴードンブラウン自体を削除することです
- Lady Brenda Beecham
Brenda Beecham, my wife of 42 years, has died aged 63 of bowel cancer. Having been diagnosed with the disease two years ago, she made a BBC documentary about it with her friend Sheilagh Matheson, and, later, a DVD, Have Bag Will Travel, for colorectal patients about living with a stoma. Keen to address the psychological impact of cancer, she also produced a booklet, Moving Forward, distributed by the charity Coping With Cancer.Born and educated in Newcastle, the daughter and sister of doctors, Brenda worked as a nurse and health visitor, as a volunteer National Childbirth Trust teacher and as a counsellor, supervisor and trainer for the charity Relate. Much interested in psychotherapy, she took an MA at Durham University in guidance and counselling in 1994. She then turned to life coaching, working particularly with doctors.Brought up in a committed Zionist family, she spent time on a kibbutz as a teenager and later followed her mother as chair of local women's Zionist organisations. A passionate supporter of Israel, she wanted the state to realise the ideals of its founders, not least in relation to the rights of its Arab minority, and to withdraw from the settlements. Influenced by her sister, Ros, she became involved with Windows for Peace, a charity bringing together young Jewish and Arab Israelis and Palestinians. With her oldest friend, Judith Sischy, she raised funds for two of the charity's summer schools in Edinburgh.A campaigner for Soviet Jewry in the 1980s, she twice visited the Soviet Union, remaining in contact with several refuseniks who eventually succeeded in emigrating. Latterly, she supported organisations working with asylum seekers and refugees in Tyneside.She also supported, not without occasional justifiable resentment, my consuming interest in po ブレンダビーチャムは、42歳の妻、63腸癌の歳で死去しています

- Washington Post's share price plunges on education company troubles
Newspaper group Washington Post discovers downside of diversifying as slow student repayments hit federal aidOf course great newspaper companies cannot live by newspapers alone. Of course they need to diversify. But whoops! There goes the Washington Post share price to its lowest point in a year, with Moody's credit rating agency warning of a downgrade – and it's nothing to do with the news business.Some 62% of Post revenues last year come from the Kaplan private education empire it owns: 600 institutions in 30 countries, 1 million students, 31,000 staff. It's a profitable empire over two dozen major sites in the UK alone. Think Liverpool, Leicester and Bradford, as well as Holborn College.But in the US, its former students seem a bit slow at repaying their loans – repayment rates are 28% as opposed to 54% of alumni at public colleges – and federal financial aid is in jeopardy. So the share price plummets. And what can a crusading, transparent newspaper do about that?Washington PostNewspapers & magazinesUnited StatesStudentsPeter Prestonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Profile: Sir Dick Evans, BAE chairman
Said by some to have secured the biggest arms deal in British history by his ability to swallow sheep's eyeballsSir Dick Evans was said by some to have secured the biggest arms deal in British history by his ability to swallow sheep's eyeballs as though they were cocktail canapes at banquets.He knew how to shmooze Middle East clients and his al-Yamamah deal - under which jets were sold to Saudi Arabia - was the mid-1980s contract which secured his later position as executive chairman at BAE Systems.The bluff Evans always denied any wrongdoing though he was interviewed by the Serious Fraud Office during its longrunning investigation into bribery.The Guardian learned that, initially, Lord Goldsmith, the then attorney general, believed the SFO could bring charges over allegations involving backdoor gifts to the then head of the Saudi air force, Prince Turki bin Nasser. But the inquiry was dropped three years ago. Educated at the Royal Masonic school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, he joined the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation before Ferranti and then British Aircraft Corporation. He spent the rest of his career with what had become British Aerospace, the forerunner of BAE Systems and he was appointed chief executive and then chairman.

- Letters: Small step towards a boycott of Israel
Following the murderous attack on the Gaza-bound convoy, is it not time to revisit the idea of a full cultural and educational boycott of Israel (Report, 2 June)? The sports boycott of apartheid South Africa hit the Afrikaners where, arguably, they felt it most and helped them understand precisely how despicable their regime's policies were held to be by the rest of the world.Writers and artists refusing to visit Israel, and the cutting off of as many other cultural and educational links with Israel as possible, might help Israelis understand how morally isolated they really are. It would be a form of collective punishment (albeit a mild one), and so in a way an act of hypocrisy for those of us who have criticised Israel for its treatment of the Palestinian people in general and those in Gaza in particular, but appeals to reason, international law, UN resolutions and simple human decency mean – it is now obvious – nothing to Israel, and for those of us not prepared to turn to violence, what else can we do? For the little it's worth, I've told my agent to turn down any further book translation deals with Israeli publishers. I would urge all writers, artists and others in the creative arts, as well as those academics engaging in joint educational projects with Israeli institutions, to consider doing everything they can to convince Israel of its moral degradation and ethical isolation, preferably by simply having nothing more to do with this outlaw state.Iain BanksNorth Queensferry, FifeIsraelGazaPalestinian territoriesMiddle EastProtestIain Banksguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

While on stage, the environmental writer Fred Pearce said fears of overpopulation were nonsense, Helen Dunmore warned of the dangers of fictionalising history, the education secretary Michael Gove offered the historian Niall Ferguson a job, and Pervez Musharraf hinted at a possible bid for power.We asked festivalgoers to send us their pictures of the Hay festival, and about the books they were actually reading. We also went in search of the festival beyond the canvas, setting authors Francesca Simonand Grayson Perry the challenge of finding a secondhand gem for less than a tenner.But with the festival coming to a close, we returned to fundamentals, following the visitors to Hay-on-Wye in the quest which underlies the entire event – the search for used books, new books, half-forgotten books ... the search for that perfect book: the one you will be reading next.Guardian Hay festivalIan McEwanJames LovelockRoy HattersleyFatima BhuttoDavid MitchellNadine GordimerChristopher HitchensPeter HitchensHelen DunmoreMichael GoveFrancesca SimonGrayson PerryFestivalsguardian.c ヘイはワイに今年はイアンマキューアンは友好的豚となったでは、クリストファーヒッチェンズ氏は兄の本とムシャラフ大統領の見直し電力の入札を示唆した
- The UN's poverty-fighting programme lacks teeth | Mary Robinson
Countries behind schedule with their Millennium Development Goals will stay that way unless they're made accountableOver the past decade, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have served as an international benchmark for measuring progress in fighting extreme poverty.Despite the commitments made by governments, many countries are still not on track to achieve their MDG targets by 2015. Shortcomings are due to a range of factors. The MDG framework largely ignores ongoing discrimination and social exclusion. Equally important, the MDGs do not place on states obligations to develop national action plans, to be held accountable for achieving results, or to consult with people on priorities.These shortcomings have contributed to the uneven results we've seen over the past 10 years and must be addressed as we look to the future.In the past few years there has been an encouraging and important shift in the approach to fighting extreme poverty, which puts the human rights of the poor at the centre of the debate. Governments, the UN and civil society are now trying to find ways to accelerate the rate of progress.Growing focus is rightly being placed on the very poorest people – those who live on less than a dollar a day, who are at most risk of infectious disease or from dying in childbirth, who have never known secure employment and who often go hungry for days or weeks at a time.Poverty, as my friend and fellow Elder Ela Bhatt has said so often, is a form of violence. Extreme poverty robs people of all their rights: their right to health, to education, to dignity, to equality of opportunity and often of the right to life itself.A woman who dies in pregnancy or childbirth for the lack of access to basic healthcare is being robbed of her right to life and healt 彼らはaccountableOver過去10年間行わている場合を除き国はミレニアム開発目標とスケジュールの背後にそのように滞在する、国連ミレニアム開発目標は、（MDGs）の約束をして極端なpoverty.Despiteとの戦いに進捗状況を測定するための国際的なベンチマークとして提供している政府は、多くの国はまだトラック2015年のミレニアム開発目標を達成するためにされていません

While we're worrying about whether Starbucks will increase the price of a cup of coffee (UN calls special meeting to address food shortages amid predictions of riots, 7 September), the stakes are much higher for those on the edge of starvation – the 1.4 billion men, women and children living on less than a dollar a day.On 20-22 September the UN will gather in New York for a summit to review progress on the millennium development goals. This is where some of the answers to food shortages and poverty lie, with action on education for girls, maternal health and environmental sustainability, for example. Perhaps there's no need for the UN to call another meeting on food security. Governments just need to come up with the funding they've promised.Harriet Stewart-JonesPoole, DorsetLast Wednesday, WaterAid published a damning new report warning of dire consequences if governments and the aid community continue to ignore society's last great taboo, sanitation (Report, 6 September). Diarrhoea, largely caused by a lack of toilets and unsafe water, is now the biggest killer of children under five in Africa while globally it kills more children than Aids, malaria and measles combined. Without sanitation in place, the millennium development goals agreed by UN member states in 2000 will not be reached across large parts of the developing world, and the health, education and prosperity of some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people will be severely compromised.Margaret BattyDirector of policy and campaigns, WaterAidWhen flood damage in Pakistan caused the global price of wheat to skyrocket, the price of bread in Mozambique rose as well, leading to riots in the capital (Report, 3 September).

- Aid: Making development go | Editorial
UN millennium development goals need to be more than just a gesture - which is why the Guardian has launched a websiteTen years ago, the millennium development goals held out the prospect for a transformation in the life chances of the global poor. In 2000, every member of the UN agreed the millennium declaration, encompassing eight goals that included halving extreme poverty and hunger, improving health, bringing primary education to every child and empowering women – all measurable objectives to be delivered by national governments. They were designed to focus government effort in developing countries which, in a new venture in global community, would be backed by the rich world.With just five years left to meet the objectives, the MDGs' proponents at this week's UN summit began to look anxiously at progress. Like all extravagant gestures, the goals contain the implicit danger that they will be revealed as just that: a gesture. Failure would be not just a billion individual preventable tragedies; it could be a devastating blow to the recognition of the mutual dependence on which the world's future depends. That is why the Guardian, supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has launched a website to provide a base from where progress can be tracked, policy debated and a toolkit of best practice assembled.There are cogent arguments to be made against the grandiose scale of the MDG project and its top-down structure. As the British government has learned in the past decade, by their very nature targets can distort outcomes. It is true, too, that progress on individual targets can be less than meets the eye: primary enrolment has soared, but investment in education has not always kept pace. Class sizes are often unmanageably large; children sometimes too hungry ガーディアンはwebsiteTen年前に開始した理由である、ミレニアム開発目標は、世界的な貧困層の生活の機会の変換のための見通しを開催 - 国連ミレニアム開発目標は、単にジェスチャー以上する必要があります
- Eight steps to a better world
In 2000, UN members signed the Millennium Declaration, an ambitious initiative identifying improvements they would make on issues affecting billions of peopleIn 2000, every member state of the United Nations signed up to the Millennium Declaration, which committed them to an ambitious set of eight goals by 2015 on issues such as halving the proportion of the world's population living on under $1 a day and achieving universal primary education.In the last 10 years, there have been huge achievements such as a dramatic rise in the number of children going to school in sub-Saharan Africa, and a fall in the number living in poverty in Asia.Click on the links on the right to learn more about each millennium development goal (MDG) and read powerful reports from around the world on how countries are making progress – or not – on the goals, from schooling in Tanzania to hunger in Indian slums, from HIV treatment in Russia to infant mortality in Brazil.Each goal incorporates several targets and uses particular indicators to measure the performance of every country; alongside each case study, we summarise the key information on each goal.The goals have succeeded in mobilising political will, increasing aid flows and helping governments to focus on human development. But several goals are off-track, in particular maternal mortality, while progress on poverty could be reversed in the next few years as food prices rise and the impact of the economic recession bears down heavily on the developing world.What is increasingly clear from progress reports ahead of the 2010 UN summit is that growing inequality is apparent across the globe; too often progress on the MDGs has not reached the poorest sections of the population.

By pursuing a global standard for transparency in oil, gas and mining, the UK could play a key role in Nigeria and globallyYesterday was the final day of the critical UN millennium development goals (MDGs) summit, where world leaders gathered to review progress against ambitious targets including halving world poverty, achieving universal primary education, fighting killer diseases, empowering women, and delivering water and sanitation, all by 2015. The outcomes are crucial to gaining increased support and momentum towards these and other MDG aspirations. Last week, I was privileged to speak at an event convened by Bond (the membership body for 370 UK NGOs working in international development), where Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, and Andrew Mitchell, the secretary of state for international development, set out the UK government's plans for the summit, with a focus on maternal mortality and malaria. It is vital we make progress in these areas: every minute, a woman dies from a pregnancy or child-related cause, and malaria causes nearly a million deaths each year. For progress to be made on these and other targets, policymakers need to recognise that the MDGs are interwoven. So, when a particular target is very off track, it holds back all the others. Good management of water resources and proper drainage, for example, can make a real difference in reducing transmission of malaria and other water-borne diseases, while progress on maternal health and mortality requires not only improved healthcare systems, but also safe sanitation, water and sound hygiene practices to ensure infection-free births and good chances of child survival in the first month of life. Without sanitation, safe water and hygiene, we will fail to reach the MDGs across large parts of the devel 石油、ガス、鉱業の透明性のための世界標準を追求することによって、英国は、ナイジェリアで重要な役割を果たすことができるgloballyYesterday重要な国連のミレニアム開発目標の世界の指導者は、野心的に対する進捗状況を確認して収集（MDGs）の首脳会談の最終日だった半減世界の貧困、、、キラー疾患と戦う女性のエンパワーメント、普遍的初等教育を達成し、水と衛生、2015年までにすべての提供を含むターゲット
- Letters: The requirements of a decent society
Since 1948, Britain has supported the principle of social solidarity through state pensions, healthcare, education and other public services provided by society as whole. This idea is now under threat.Whoever wins the next general election will be targeting the welfare state and public services as a way of cutting public expenditure to pay for the mistakes of the bankers and speculators. Never was so much put at risk by so few.What they seem to forget is that good public services are important to everyone at every stage of their life from the cradle to grave. That is why we are supporting the demonstration in London on 10 April to remind all politicians that a civilised, compassionate society needs a welfare state and decent public services that pool life's risks and provide support to all who need it, irrespective of their individual ability to pay.Brendan Barber TUC, Lee Billingham Love Music Hate Racism, Christine Blower NUT, Brian Caton POA, Bob Crow RMT, Jeremy Dear NUJ, Gerry Doherty TSSA, Peter Fisher NHS Consultants' Association, Dot Gibson National Pensioners Convention, Sally Hunt UCU, Tony Kearns CWU, Chris Keates NASUWT, Paul Kenny GMB, Prof Harry Keen NHS Support Federation, Jonathan Ledger Napo, Hamish Meldrum BMA, Lesley Mercer Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, Gerry Morrissey Bectu Keith Norman Aslef, Peter Pendle ACM/AMiE, Dave Prentis Unison, Alan Ritchie Ucatt, Wendy Savage Keep Our NHS Public, Mark Serwotka PCS, Eileen Short Defend Council Housing, Derek Simpson Unite, Vanessa Stanislas Disability Alliance, Christine Steel Carers Poverty Alliance, Gordon Taylor PFA, Tony Woodley Unite, Matt Wrack FBUPublic services policyTax and spendingPublic financeGeneral election 2010LabourConservativesProtestFinancial crisisguardian.co.uk © Guardi 1948年以来、英国は国家年金、医療、教育など公共サービス、社会全体で提供される社会的連帯の原則をサポートしています

- California dreaming of school funds | Sasha Abramsky
The US cannot allow allow state and local education systems to implode through lack of cash. But will Congress intervene?Last Wednesday, thousands of trade union members and concerned parents walked through downtown Sacramento to California's state capitol building, joining six marchers on the last leg of their 365-mile, 48-day, protest walk up California's Central Valley to highlight the impact of education cuts in California.It was an event full of theatrics – a flag-flying flatbed truck at the head of the march blared the song California Dreaming from its speaker system; and on the Capitol's grounds a face-painted street theatre troupe from San Francisco did agitprop from the stage.But, beyond the spectacle, the walkers were highlighting an extremely important recalibration of state-resident relations in recent years: as local and state governments have haemorrhaged cash, so education spending – which eats up the bulk of local budgets – has been mauled. The estimates vary, but teachers' groups calculate that somewhere in the region of $18bn has vanished from school districts', colleges', and universities' budgets in California over the past several budget cycles. In the latest round of cuts, well over 20,000 teachers received pink slips, informing them they might not have jobs after schools open again following the summer break. While California is an extreme case, the numbers nationally are also pretty dismal. Somewhere between 150,000 and 300,000 teachers and school staff are likely to lose their jobs in the coming year as state and local budgets continue to implode and federal stimulus funds run out. Schools that have already pared arts, physical education, music instruction and other non-core requirement classes to the bone in recent years are now ending such pro 米国は州や地方の教育システムは、現金の不足が原因で崩壊するよう許可することはできません

- Cousin marriage: a question of understanding | Rizwan Alidina and Mohamed Walji
Sympathetic education is more effective in tackling the health risks inherent in such unions – not stigmatising communitiesA lot has been said on the issue of marriages between cousins and its potential genetic risks since the airing of Channel 4's Dispatches: When Cousins Marry last month. Feedback has been both positive and negative, but different extrapolations of the true picture have complicated understanding around this issue by stigmatising certain communities and highlighting unrelated issues such as immigration, religion or politics.The fact remains that this is a health issue, which has lead to a higher than normal infant and perinatal mortality in cities such as Birmingham and Bradford. The extent of the morbidity is not yet known, but a fair indication can be found in the rise in the number of applications for disability living allowances for children in these areas. A disproportionate number of cases occur among those of south Asian, and especially Pakistani descent, but it can affect all ethnicities and should be a concern for all. It is time to discuss it rationally so we can enable informed reproductive choices.The genetics of cousin marriages are fairly simple. There is a 2-3% risk of rare recessive genetic disorders in unrelated couples for every pregnancy. This risk rises to 4-6% in first-cousin marriages but higher if there is persistent practice of first-cousin marriages over the generations. We all carry mutations in our genome – the genetic code that carries the blueprints for our body, half of which we get from our fathers and the other half from our mothers. The chances of both carrying the same mutations is low, but is higher in first cousins and those marrying in very close-knit communities. If they both have the same mutations, there is a one 交感神経の教育が健康上のリスクをこのような労働組合に固有 - communitiesA多くのstigmatisingは取り組んで効果的なのいとことその潜在的な遺伝的リスクの間の結婚の問題のチャンネルの放映4の送出：カズンズ結婚先月から言われているです
- Child marriage: our commitment to ending it | Jimmy Carter | Fernando Henrique Cardoso
Child marriage has been a major brake on progress towards six of the eight millennium development goals, write Jimmy Carter and Fernando Henrique CardosoAt the coming review summit on the millennium development goals, the focus will rightly be on those areas where progress has been most disappointing. High on this list is the failure to improve maternal health in the poorest countries.There will no doubt be discussion about rich countries' commitments to increase funds and whether governments in the developing world have used resources effectively. Unfortunately little attention will be given to child marriage and its damaging impact on the health of millions of girls and women.There is, in fact, compelling evidence that child marriage has been a major brake on progress towards no less than six of the eight MDGs. Our hopes of reducing child and maternal mortality, combating HIV/Aids and achieving universal primary education are damaged by the fact that one in seven girls in the developing world – and it is overwhelmingly girls who suffer this fate - are married before they reach 15. So, too, are our ambitions to eliminate extreme poverty and promote gender equality.The statistics are stark. In poor countries, babies born to mothers under 18 are 60% more likely to die in their first year than those born to older women. Girls under 15 are five times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than women in their 20s. Lack of information, marriage to much older men and the inability to negotiate safe sexual practices also puts child brides at greater risk of HIV infection than their unmarried peers.Child brides are more likely to drop out of school to concentrate on domestic chores and child rearing. But this bias against educating girls starts even earlier. In soci 子供の結婚は、6〜8ミレニアム開発目標の進捗状況に大きなブレーキを、ジミーカーターとフェルナンドエンリケCardosoAtをミレニアム開発目標に、今後このサミットの書き込みされていると、フォーカスは正しく進展が最も期待はずれだったされているこれらの分野になります
- Nick Clegg: The coalition will cut maternal deaths by 2015
The UK is committed to doubling the number of women who survive pregnancy and childbirth over the next five yearsThere is one statistic that everybody who cares about creating a better world should have stamped on their memory: right now more than 1 billion people across the planet are suffering the appalling hardship of extreme poverty.There are other statistics that make equally tough reading. A third of a million mothers die every year in pregnancy or childbirth and 25,000 children die every day of easily preventable diseases. Some 72 million children have no chance of an education.Behind each of these statistics lie real-life tales of daily misery – a community coping with the birth of another orphan, a girl left without any hope for the future because she has no school to go to, a mother left grieving after another outbreak of malaria.To ignore this suffering would be an affront to the values that we hold dear as a country. Even in these difficult times, Britain will not break the promises made to the world's poorest countries. So the coalition government will keep the commitment to increase spending on international development to 0.7% of our national income.Maintaining these commitments to international development means a better life for millions of people. Equally, it is the only way to create a safer, more prosperous world for Britain.Ten years ago, world leaders came together and agreed eight crucial targets – the millennium development goals (MDGs) – to set the world on a path towards eliminating extreme poverty. But with just five years to go until the 2015 deadline, we are still woefully off track.I am proud that the UK is playing its part, but other nations must now step up their efforts.

- Beyond the baby factory for women in the developing world | Marie Staunton
The burning issue on maternal health in the world's poorest countries is for women to take control of their own bodiesGiving birth in the UK is complicated. Antenatal checks, ultrasounds, blood tests, BMI indices, dating scans and more – and that's before delivery. Giving birth in sub-Saharan Africa is simple by comparison. You can walk five hours for a basic check-up, if able. Then again, you are far less likely to survive.Across the developing world there are none of the integrated healthcare services for expectant mothers that are universally available in the west. That means mothers-to-be have to visit up to five different healthcare providers for services that could be provided by one clinic.And that is after conception. The burning issue on maternal health in the world's poorest countries is for women to take control of their own bodies and for their choices to be respected: when to have children, how often to have children, if to have children at all. Of course efforts to prevent deaths before, during and after childbirth should be a priority, but so should encouraging and empowering young women to pursue whatever life they choose for themselves. We must provide more career prospects than the baby factory alone.This view of women as more than childbearers was a call that echoed around last week's Women Deliver conference in Washington DC, yet the reality is that many countries still continue to care little for a more holistic approach to women's health. To reduce maternal mortality we must address the unmet needs for family planning and reproductive health alongside the unmet needs of pregnant women. If women aren't able to plan when they have children, then they have little chance when it comes to life's other big decisions, including education and job prospects 世界の最貧国の妊産婦の健康の情熱的な問題は、女性は複雑です英国で自分のbodiesGiving出生のコントロールを取るためです

- Roma: hope in Hungary | Balazs Sahin-Toth and Rachel Nicholson
It won't end prejudice, but a decision by Hungary's supreme court to compensate Roma children is a landmark rulingThe Council of Europe's Dosta campaign against Roma discrimination highlights the continued prejudices and barriers faced by Roma across Europe – prejudices that have a fundamental impact on their lives, denying them access to services we take for granted such as education and healthcare, and perpetuating their position at the lowest end of the socioeconomic scale.A recent test case in Hungary has seen the Hungarian supreme court put a value on the detrimental effects of this discrimination by awarding damages to five Roma children who were segregated by the school authorities in Miskolc, Hungary's third-largest city.Segregation in Hungarian schools is a serious problem – the widespread stigmatisation of Roma means many parents and indeed teachers would prefer their children not to mix with Roma children in schools, or elsewhere. Indeed, often the prejudice is so deep that many Roma children are placed in schools for children with special educational needs. Despite the changes brought in by the 2004 Equal Treatment Act, which forbids segregation in the school system, the problem persists.The case against the Miskolc authorities was brought by a small Hungarian NGO, the Chance for Children Foundation, which has been leading efforts in Hungary to raise public awareness of the issue of segregation in schools, and to draw government attention to it.The Budapest office of international legal practice Allen & Overy became involved in the case in 2005, through the Public Interest Law Institute's Hungarian pro bono brokerage service that matches NGOs requiring legal help with lawyers and law firms willing to offer their services on a pro bono basis.Each of the five それが、ハンガリーの最高裁判所の決定ローマの子供たちを補償するために偏見を終了しません画期的rulingThe理事会は、ローマの差別ヨーロッパのドスタキャンペーンの継続的な偏見や障壁ローマでヨーロッパに直面 - に関する基本的な影響を与える偏見ハイライトさの人生は、我々が教育や医療などの当たり前のサービスへのアクセスを拒否し、ハンガリーの経済scale.A最近のテストケースの最。端の位置を永続ハンガリー最高裁判所を見てきたの有害な影響に価値を置く分離学校当局のミシュコルツ、ハンガリーの学校でハンガリーの第3位のcity.Segregation深刻な問題であるにあった5つのローマの子供たち - ローマの普及非難に損害賠償を授与し、この差別は自分の子供を希望されない多くの親であり、実際に教師を意味する学校でローマの子供たち、または他のと混ぜています
- Letter: Campus concern
We write to express our continued concern at the behaviour of Sussex University management towards students and staff on campus. Six students face a disciplinary hearing today (18 May) following an occupation of a campus building in protest against plans to make 112 staff redundant. Such protest actions have a long tradition at Sussex. The current management's response demonstrates an unprecedented degree of intolerance and narrow-mindedness with regard to legitimate forms of protest. It is clear that these six students are being victimised in an attempt to intimidate other students away from activism against higher education cuts. These six are being unfairly singled out for the actions of many.We call on those judging the case to ensure that no student is unfairly punished for taking part in legitimate protest.Caroline Lucas MP Green, Brighton Pavilion, Iain Pears Novelist and art historian, Michael Rosen Former children's poet laureate, Sally Hunt UCU general secretary, Tom Hickey UCU national executive, Jim Wolfreys King's College London, Biswadip Dasgupta King's College London, Jan Toporowski Soas, London, Richard Saull Queen Mary's, University of London, Michael Keefer University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Ian Patterson Queens' College, Cambridge, Steven Barfield University of Westminster, Patrick Devine-Wright University of Manchester, Isabelle Fremeaux Birkbeck, University of London, Esther Leslie Birkbeck, University of London, Ross Adamson University of Brighton, Jelena Timotijevic University of Brighton, Tom Wills President, University of Sussex Students' Union, Mark Bergfeld NUS national executive, James Heywood NUS National ExecutiveUniversity of SussexHigher educationUniversity fundingCuts and closuresProtestguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Lim 我々は、学生やスタッフのキャンパスに向かっサセックス大学の管理の動作で私達の継続的な懸念を表明する記述します

- Lindsay Lohan jailed for probation violation
Actor sentenced to 90 days in prison for failing to attend alcohol education classesHollywood actor Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in jail for failing to attend alcohol education classes.Lohan, who starred in Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, burst into tears after the sentencing. She will also be required to enter a rehabilitation programme after her release.The ruling came during a hearing set for the 24-year-old after she missed a court date in May. Since then Lohan has been required to wear an ankle alcohol monitor, which issued an alert after she attended the MTV movie awards last month. Lohan has denied drinking that night.The judge, Marsha Revel, said she would not consider whether Lohan actually consumed alcohol after attending the awards, but only whether the actor failed to complete the required number of alcohol education courses on time.The court heard that Lohan had missed seven classes over a period of 27 weeks and had not attended once a week as instructed by the judge.Lohan spent 84 minutes in jail in 2007 after she pleaded guilty to two misdemeanour counts of being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08% and one count of reckless driving.The plea came after a pair of high-profile arrests earlier that year. Lohan was sentenced to three years of probation but had to ask for a year-long extension in October after she failed to complete her alcohol education courses on time.Lohan came to public attention as an 11-year-old in The Parent Trap and was considered one of Hollywood's leading young talents, but her reputation has taken a tumble in recent years because of her problems with drugs and alcohol.Lindsay LohanUnited StatesMark Tranguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Li 俳優は、刑務所で90日にアルコール教育classesHollywood俳優リンジーローハンに出席しなかったため90日に刑務所にきたいの金曜日と平均女の子、涙に判決後にバーストを主演アルコール教育classes.Lohanに出席に失敗を宣告されている受刑
- Books to inspire busy world leaders | Robert McCrum
If literature can change the world, as Yann Martel believes it can, then here's what I think politicians should be readingYann Martel, who won the Booker prize in 2002 with The Life of Pi, is a writer who likes to provoke controversy, as Stephen Moss explained in his interview with the novelist last week. Martel is an instinctive contrarian who has a belligerent belief in the power of literature to change the world. For the past three years, he has been mailing works of literature to world leaders, in a quixotic attempt to promote the arts generally.Currently, he's sending a fortnightly letter plus book to the Canadian PM, Stephen Harper, in an effort to educate him in the broader English literary tradition. Typically, Martel was inspired to do this by Harper's ill-advised admission that his favourite book was The Guinness Book of Records.I understand that Harper has hardly responded to Martel, though Barack Obama did write a thank-you note for his free copy of The Life of Pi, a novel once memorably described as a cross between The Jungle Book and The Owl and the Pussycat.Anyway, prompted by Martel, I've decided to come up with a few modest reading lists for some current British and American public figures. Additionally, I'm inspired by some of their own attempts to identify essential reading. David Miliband, for example, told The Observer on Sunday that his recommended book was Julia Donaldson's The Gruffalo.To be less flippant, for a moment: for David Miliband, the Labour leadership contender and former foreign secretary, I suggest three titles, each one more demanding and instructive than the Gruffalo.1.

- National Portrait Gallery launches appeal to keep freed slave's portrait
£100,000 appeal launched to keep 'national treasure' oil painting of African Ayuba Suleiman Diallo in gallery's collectionA portrait of a freed African slave has gone on display for the first time at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) as a £100,000 appeal is launched to keep it in the collection.The bright eyes of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo who had been a slave-owner and trader, are mesmerising gallery visitors, just as they did when he met King George II and leading intellectuals of the 1730s. Diallo translated Arabic documents and inscriptions for Sir Hans Sloane, whose collections would form the basis of the British Museum.NPG director Sandy Nairne described the image – the earliest known British oil painting of a named black man or a freed slave – as a vital acquisition.The portrait was commissioned by William Hoare of Bath at the insistence of Diallo's friends, despite its subject's misgivings as a devout Muslim about having his image painted. It shows Diallo in traditional dress and with a copy of the Qur'an, which he had written from memory in London.Diallo, known in England as Job Ben Solomon, was born around 1701 into a wealthy family of Muslim clerics in Senegambia, west Africa. He was highly educated and spoke several languages including Arabic.He was also a slave-dealer who was captured by a rival tribe and had his beard shaved as a humiliation. Diallo was sold into slavery and transported to a tobacco plantation in Maryland, where he was imprisoned for trying to escape. His plight came to the attention of English lawyer and missionary, Thomas Bluett who brought him to England in 1733, where he became a celebrity.The portrait was sold at a Christie's auction, but its export was barred by the government to give a British museum the chance to buy it.

- Michael Tomasky: Why are student loans in the health bill?
Yesterday, when I mentioned the student-loan provisions of HCR with regard to the reconciliation process, several of you commented, what are student-loan changes doing in the health bill anyway?The fact is that many big bills end up with other things attached to them. A big bill that people think is going to pass is just an irresistible target for legislators: hey, that thing is going to pass, and the vote will really be about A, so if I can get a provision about B or C or D attached to it, it'll sail through cuz no one's going to vote against the whole thing just because of my little provision.Happens all the time -- and yes, in this case, on both sides. It just so happens that student loan reform has been a big priority of the Obama administration.Under it, private lenders will be out of the student loan business. All the lending will be issued and managed directly by the Department of Education. Proof of Obama's mad hunger to have the government control every aspect of our lives?Either that, or a sensible response to the massive and hideous student loan scandal we've had in this country in recent years. Here's what happened in a nutshell, via the New America Foundation:The roots of the 9.5 student loan case go back to the 1980s when Congress guaranteed non-profit lenders, which use tax-exempt bonds to finance their loans, a minimum rate of return of 9.5 percent on federal student loans made with these bonds. As interest rates on all other student loans fell in the 1990s, policymakers became concerned that these nonprofit student loan providers were making a killing. So in 1993, Congress rescinded that policy, but grandfathered in loans made from the old bonds, believing that the volume of 9.5 loans would decline as they were paid off and the bonds retired.Instead, be 昨日、私が和解のプロセスに関しては、あなたのコメント、いくつかの学生の国際福祉機器の貸出規定のように、どの学生ローンの変更は、保健法案でとにかく元気ですか？実際には、多くの大きな法案を他のものを添付して終了です彼らに

- Who can claim Newman? | The question
Cardinal Newman was the greatest English Catholic of the Victorian age. But whose side would he be on today?The beatification of John Henry, Cardinal Newman will be the centrepiece of the pope's visit to Britain this autumn. But his legacy is contested within the Catholic church. Depending on your angle, he is either a model for a liberal and fairly autonomous church, in which the believer's conscience is an authority higher than the pope, or a man whose example shows how the conscience can be educated and disciplined so that it would never disagree with the magisterium – and only then is it worthy of respect. Was he a man who showed how the church might change, or one who showed that it never really changed, only deepened and developed? Or is his real message to the church the one left in his enigmatic grave, which turned out to contain nothing at all when his remains were to be reinterred in preparation for this autumn's ceremony. His spirit was not to be found there. But where would it lead us today?ReligionChristianityCatholicismguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- South Africa's World Cup can make education a reality for all | George Weah
Africa's future depends on education for its children and the global spotlight of the World Cup can help this dream come trueFive years ago, at the age of 38, I went back to school. I had played football for 20 years for some of the best clubs in the world but had never had the chance to finish my education. So I moved to Florida and enrolled at Devry University. I am majoring in Business Administration and will be graduating next summer with a bachelor degree.I am one of the lucky ones; I can afford to pay for my education and can travel to the United States to get it. It was not always like this for me. When I was growing up in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, I sold doughnuts, popcorn and Cool Aid every day after school so that my family had some money and I could pay my school fees. It was a tough life. My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother, Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year – at Christmas.Football gave me a chance that few other Liberians have had. Around 80% of Liberians are unemployed and only half of all children go to primary school. Just one in 20 go on to secondary school. Young children are on the streets instead of in the classrooms. We are not giving them the opportunity to learn and they will struggle to get jobs when they grow up. Without proper education, Liberia will not progress.It is a similar story across the continent. I believe education should be a right for every child but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Africa.There is nothing as important as education. It prepares you for your long-term goals.

- Angela Merkel punished by voters for dithering over Greek bailout
Exit polls in North Rhine Westphalia indicate Angela Merkel risks losing her majority in the upper house of parliament Angela Merkel suffered a bruising defeat in a key regional election as voters turned on her centre-right alliance after a campaign that was eclipsed by the Greek debt crisis.The German chancellor's Christian Democrats (CDU) dropped more than 10% in the election in North Rhine Westphalia, according to exit polls. The CDU, which polled 34.5%, and its coalition partner, the Free Democratic party (FDP) – which secured 6.5% – no longer have an outright majority.The defeat is likely to cast a shadow over the rest of the Merkel government's term in office. While the campaign was dominated by regional issues such as bankrupt municipalities and education funding, it was overshadowed by the international issue of debt-ridden Greece.Merkel was widely accused of delaying a decision over the massive Greek bailout for fear that she would isolate voters in North Rhine Westphalia. In the event it was her perceived dithering that is believed to have contributed to the CDU's loss of support, along with a local party funding scandal.Crucially for Merkel, the poll setback means that her coalition will now lose its majority in the Bundesrat, or upper house of parliament, which will make it far more difficult for her government to push through legislation.The opposition Social Democrats (SPD), which had run on a par with the CDU in the polls for some weeks, also appear to have won 34.5% of the vote (a loss of 2.6%), while the Greens increased their standing by 6.3% to 12.5% – not enough for the two to form a majority.The Linke – or Left – party, a relatively new political formation with its roots in the former communist East, increased its influence by securing 6%, enabling ノルトラインヴェストファーレンの出口調査ではメルケル首相は、国会の参院での有権者は彼女の中道右派連合は、ギリシャの債務危機を隠蔽されたキャンペーンの後になってとメルケル首相は、キー地方選挙であざ敗北を喫した彼女過半数を失うリスクを示すドイツのメルケル首相のキリスト教民主同盟は、同盟（CDU）ノルトラインヴェストファーレンの選挙では、終了世論調査によると10％以上下落した
- Mugabe inflames the Afro-pessimists, but Zimbabwe's story is much deeper | Petina Gappah
For all the nightmarish events of the last decade, my country has much to celebrate as we mark 30 years of independenceThirty years ago on Sunday the renegade British colony that had been Rhodesia was born as Zimbabwe. In the nightmarish events of the last 10 years the euphoria of that day has been all but lost. Certainly, the achievements of Zimbabwe in the last 30 years are in danger of drowning in the mire of statistics about rampant inflation and unemployment, in images of the political repression of a cowed populace – all taken as evidence by those Thabo Mbeki calls the Afro-pessimists. For his part, President Mugabe has certainly provided much grist to the mill of the brigade that believes Africans cannot rule themselves and that independence has achieved nothing worth celebrating.As Zimbabwe turns 30, however, there are significant achievements to celebrate. Independence itself was one, especially as it brought the end of an apartheid-in-miniature that had allowed a small white minority to enjoy benefits not available to the black majority. Rhodesia's segregationist policy was grievously unjust; but children born in Zimbabwe would no longer have their life paths determined simply because of the colour of their skin.Independence came through a civil war in which tens of thousands died, and many more people were displaced. Following this, Mugabe – then prime minister – urged former combatants to turn their swords to ploughshares, and white and black to work together to build a new nation. The reconciliation policy at the time did much to allay fears of reprisals, and put Zimbabwe on a path to stability and prosperity.The chief achievement of the country's prosperous early years, one bearing fruit even today, came from the massive investment in education.

- Letters: Western desert's second world war legacy
Jack Shenker's article reminds us again of the Devil's Garden (El Alamein: last stand, 29 June), seeded by deadly remnants of war during the second world war contest for the western desert of Egypt. While more recent conflicts have attracted landmine clearance and victim assistance funding, the western desert and the Bedouin, who continue to pasture herds, have been largely ignored. The extended battlefield of El Alamein has, between Libya and Alexandria, an estimated 16.7 million explosive remnants of war.While the Egyptian state has been tardy in ratifying the mine ban treaty and ambiguous as to whether it continues to produce, sell or stockpile anti-personnel mines, nonetheless the 500,000 inhabitants of the western desert are every bit as entitled to their share of protection from the effects of unexploded ordnance as are communities affected by later conflicts.The prioritising of our sympathy according to who has the greater number of landmines has somehow managed to allow the western desert to slip through the net, even though it is a strong contender for the top three landmine-infested areas in the world.Clearance is expensive, but elsewhere, for example Pakistan, we are close on the heels of battle: prevention of injury to civilians is effected through mine risk education, to instil safe patterns of behaviour when returning to homes and land; and local paramedic services, with rehabilitation for traumatic amputees. Resources and the interest of major donors is sadly lacking in the western desert. Europe's war wounds have been largely healed and the allies have moved on to levels of security and affluence probably few in the 1940s could have imagined. Yet, to our great shame, the shepherds over whose heads Europe's mightiest conflict was fought continue to pick t ジャックShenkerの記事は再び悪魔の庭（エルアラメインのを思い出させる：最後の抵抗を6月29日）、戦争の致命的な遺物で、エジプトの西部の砂漠の第二次世界戦争のコンテスト期間中にシード

- Wallace Fox obituary
Medical researcher who revolutionised the treatment of TBWallace Fox, who has died aged 89, was the leader of the Medical Research Council (MRC) programme that developed the standard worldwide treatment of tuberculosis. TB sanatoriums closed by the end of the 1960s after he showed that home treatment was just as good, and then he shortened the period of treatment from a year to six months. The work he did at the MRC tuberculosis research unit, in collaboration with many researchers elsewhere, helped change TB from being an untreatable disease to one that can be alleviated in both rich and poor countries – a major medical advance.Wallace was born in Bristol, where he attended Cotham grammar school, and undertook his medical education in London at Guy's hospital, followed by hospital posts at Guy's, Preston Hall sanatorium, Kent, and then in London at the Hammersmith chest clinic. He caught TB himself soon after medical qualification, and was treated with bed rest for two years at the Bristol Royal Infirmary.He joined the staff of the MRC tuberculosis research unit, directed by Philip D'Arcy Hart, in 1952. At that time, half of those who developed TB died from it, but new anti-bacterial drugs, such as streptomycin and isoniazid, were being introduced to treat the disease. The principal method for TB control then considered by the World Health Organisation (WHO) was BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccination. But Wallace took an early decision to concentrate on treatment, thus anticipating a later change in WHO policy.TB treatment was primitive. The first clinical trial had shown that treatment with streptomycin alone resulted in drug-resistant tubercle bacilli. But when streptomycin was combined with PAS (para-aminosalicylic acid) or, better, with the more potent isoniaz TBWallaceフォックス、89歳で死亡したの治療に革命をもたらしました医療研究者は、医学研究評議会（MRC）は結核の世界標準治療を開発プログラムの指導者だった
- Anthony O'Shea obituary
The youngest son of a London-Irish tailor, my father, Anthony O'Shea, who has died aged 89, left his Jesuit-run grammar school at 16 to work in the Westminster bank, a career cut short by the outbreak of war in 1939.He was at that time in the Territorial Army – he used to tell us how he went away for a training weekend and did not return for seven years. After a brief spell in the regular army, his first commission was with the Eighth Gurkha regiment, with which he saw active service throughout the war, rising to the rank of major by 1945, having been awarded the military cross for outstanding bravery in battle. His battles did not end with the war, however. Shocked by the illiteracy and poor health of some of his fellow soldiers in the British army, who were expected to die for the country of Shakespeare without ever having heard of Shakespeare, he became a passionate advocate of equality in education and of the comprehensive school system.Two years as the head of a secondary modern school in the early 1960s only served to further his objections to a system geared to failing the vast majority of children on the basis of an exam taken at 11. In 1965, he took on the headship of a new school in a new town, St Mark's RC comprehensive school in Harlow, Essex.The school began with a single first-year intake, taught in prefabs because there were as yet no school buildings. My eldest sister, Clare, was one of that initial intake, and the rest of us were to follow as the years went on – my father always insisted that his school would deliver no less than the highest quality education he demanded for his own children. His vision and dedication provided the foundations for the hugely successful school it is today, decades after his retirement in 1983.Dad's experiences of the wors ロンドンの最年少の息子とアイルランドのテーラー氏は89歳で死去した父、アンソニージョンオシェイ、16歳の時、ウェストミンスター銀行で動作するように彼のイエズス会の文法学校を経営する左のキャリア戦争の勃発によってショートカット1939.He領土軍のその時点では - 彼はどうやって離れての訓練の週末となった7年間を返しませんでした教えていました
- Petrol prices drive voters' intentions | Stephen Glaister
Transport is usually not a campaign priority, but issues such as the price of fuel could play a big part in this electionI'm under no illusions – when it comes to general election campaigns transport issues tend to languish at the bottom of the pile, far behind matters of health, education, defence and most importantly, the economy.I have always found this slightly difficult to understand. Because if there is one thing that unites us all as individuals it is the need to get about, to have some personal mobility and, for the vast majority, key to that mobility is the road network.Whatever your view of domestic rail services and aviation, the fact is that more than nine out of 10 passenger journeys take place on this country's highways and byways, not just in our own cars but also on buses and in taxis; which is why, on the face of it, the results of an Ipsos Mori survey for the RAC Foundation should not have come as a surprise.More than three-quarters of British citizens – that's everyone, not just drivers – regard potholes as a big problem in the area they live. And when asked to choose two or three transport priorities for an incoming government bringing, our roads up to a decent state of repair was at the top of the list. As for high-speed rail, for all the political talk of a new link between London and Birmingham, just 3% saw it as important.And that shows exactly how far removed some of our would-be MPs are from the reality of most people's daily existence. Road travel is dominant.In the normal course of events we might expect drivers to grin and bear their lot and vote for party candidates on the basis of things other than transport. And that would be that.But what our survey also reveals is that after fixing potholes, curbing the cost of motoring comes a close se トランスポートは、通常のキャンペーンの優先順位はないが、問題は燃料の価格など、このelectionI。。u0026#39;mには幻想の下に大きな役割を果たすこと - それが総選挙キャンペーンの輸送の問題になる杭、これまでの下部に元気がなくなる傾向がある健康の問題、教育、防衛、最も重要なことの背後に、economy.Iは常にこの少し理解することは困難を発見した

- 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.

The foreign office barrister, the judge and the public law barristerJonathan SumptionThe famously expensive £2m-a-year commercial lawyer was accused by critics of abusing the legal process by demanding that the court change its draft judgment to be less critical of his clients in MI5. Sumption won that skirmish, but lost the war when the contents of his letter were publicly revealed. David Miliband pointedly said the manoeuvre had been Sumption's idea. Sumption has Tory links that date back to the 1970s. As speechwriter for Sir Keith Joseph, he served on a secret group chaired by Lord Carrington called the authority of government committee, which drew up plans to defeat trade unions. He also co-wrote a book with Joseph attacking the idea of equality as a desirable political aim. Sumption went to Eton and Magdalen college, Oxford, where he became a history fellow. His father was a tax barrister who twice stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative candidate. He has written a three-volume history of the hundred years war.Despite his Tory links and his huge fees, Sumption was hired at taxpayers' expense by the Labour government over the disposal of Railtrack, the extradition problem of General Pinochet, the close-down of the criminal investigation into BAE, and the Hutton inquiry.Lord NeubergerOne of the country's most respected judges, he is popular among lawyers and civil liberties campaigners for his approachable manner and robust judgments.

- Rip Torn in court for breaking into bank 'he thought was his home'
Film and TV actor found asleep and intoxicated in bank branch and asked police what they were doing in his houseThe veteran Hollywood actor Rip Torn is due in court today on charges of breaking into a bank with a loaded gun.The 79-year-old, who appeared in films such as Men in Black and Dodgeball, was arrested in January, in Connecticut, when police found him inside the branch of Litchfield BanCorp after the alarm went off.According to the police report, the Oscar-nominated actor was almost three times over the drink-drive limit.He was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.In a court appearance last month, his attorney, Thomas Waterfa ll, told the judge that his client needed help with his alcohol abuse and that he could start treatment immediately. Torn was released on $100,000 (£66,230) bail and was told by the judge to undergo an evaluation for substance abuse.Waterfall has said that Torn was confused and thought the bank was his home, which is a mile and half down the street. According to reports, Torn actually went to sleep in the bank and asked police what they were doing in his house when they arrived.Last year, Torn was given probation in a Connecticut drink-driving case and entered an alcohol education programme. He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.In January 2004, Torn was arrested in New York after his car collided with a taxi. A video of his arrest in which he swears at officers and refuses a breathalyser test was aired on TV. A jury subsequently acquitted Torn of any wrongdoing.In December 2006, Torn was again arrested for drunk driving in North Salem, New York, after colliding with a tractor trai 映画やテレビ俳優の眠りや銀行の支店で酔うとは、彼のhouseTheベテランのハリウッド俳優のリップトーンで何をしていた警察の要請法廷で、今日銀行に読み込まgun.The 79違反の疑いで予定されて歳の発見人の映画の男性などの黒とドッジボールのように、1月にはコネチカット州に警察リッチフィールドコープの枝の中のアラームの後彼を見つけたのは、アカデミー賞にノミネートされた俳優、ほぼ3年警察にoff.According 4157年登場ドリンクを飲みながら回ドライブlimit.Heの許可なしにピストルを運ぶと、中には、まず酔う度強盗、第一級の犯。侵入すると3度の犯罪mischief.In法廷に現れたのは先月、銃を運ぶ起訴された彼の弁護士、トーマスWaterfa llを、と同判事は、彼のクライアントが彼のアルコール乱用に助けが必要だが、彼はすぐに治療を開始できます
- Bodour Osman Abu Affan obituary
My colleague Professor Bodour Osman Abu Affan, who has died of cancer aged 67, was a remarkable woman. Born into an affluent family in Wad Medani, Sudan, and educated at Omdurman high school for girls, she represented the second generation of female activists significantly to advance the cause of women in Sudan. The right to vote and to equal pay had already been achieved when she and others took practical steps to demonstrate that women could compete with men; co-operate with them and excel.She was awarded her PhD from the University of Khartoum in 1984, after spending a year at the University of California, Berkeley. She furthered her career in the field of development economics, both nationally as the director of the Social and Economic Research Council in Khartoum, and internationally as the first female vice-president of operations at the African Development Bank in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. She advised both government and private sectors in Sudan, publishing numerous articles and a book.Bodour championed many initiatives that would empower women in business, and became a role model to many in Sudan. A highlight of her achievements was the campaign success of the National Union of Sudanese Women – led by Bodour and Raja Hassan Khalifa – in securing 25 of the seats for women in the next parliament. Bodour rarely mentioned her cancer; but looked forward to the elections, which have just begun, and spoke of her plans to run as an independent candidate.Bodour married Dr Fareed Atabani, an academic and World Bank economist, and, in the 1970s, brought up their two children while studying for her master's degree at the American University in Washington DC. While there, Bodour's culinary skills became legendary, with her introduction of Sudanese cuisine into diplomatic circle 私の同僚教授BodourオスマンアブAffanは、がん67歳以上の死亡した、顕著な女性だった
- Ethiopian PM Meles Zenawi looks for new term in office
PM seeks to extend 19-year rule in first parliamentary elections since disputed 2005 poll that saw 200 people killedEthiopia's prime minister, Meles Zenawi, will seek to extend his 19-year rule on Sunday in the first parliamentary elections since a disputed 2005 poll that saw 200 people killed in the aftermath.Tens of millions of people are expected to vote in the ballot, after a tense build-up with the ruling party and opposition parties trading blame for the murder of several candidates and a policeman. The election is being viewed as a test of the government's pledge to advance democracy.Western countries will be paying close attention, particularly the UK and US, who have pumped in billions of dollars in aid since Meles came to power in 1991. Theysee Ethiopia as an important ally in the Horn of Africa region and are watching closely. The ruling Ethiopian Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) maintains tight control, down to village level, and is the overwhelming favourite. In its favour is a fast-growing economy and huge investment in infrastructure, particularly roads and hydropower dams, across the country. The government has also spent donor money effectively, especially on health and education.Most of its support will come in the rural areas where most Ethiopians live, but there are reports that some backing is due to intimidation.In urban centres such as Addis Ababa, however, the government is unpopular, particularly among the educated. The media are muzzled, and few non-politicians dare to speak openly about politics. Ethnicity is another problem. Along with Meles, many ministers and military leaders are from the Tigray ethnic group, who constitute around 6% of the population.

- We need more than small talk | Yahya Birt
Tariq Ramadan and Hamza Yusuf must tackle Islamic reform head-on in Oxford next weekNext week in Oxford, two of western Islam's leading religious thinkers – Hamza Yusuf and Tariq Ramadan – will come together for the first time to discuss the hotly debated topic of Islamic reform. Does it matter? And why should we pay attention to what they have to say?For the generation of western-born Muslims who came of age in Europe and North America in the 90s, Yusuf and Ramadan are leading figureheads in Islamic revivalism in the west. Charismatic and eloquent, their call for an authentic western Islam has resonated with their young audiences.They are likely to emphasise their commonalities next week, but Yusuf and Ramadan approach religious revival from different traditions and locations. Yusuf is a traditionally trained American imam who focuses on personal spiritual reform and education, while Ramadan is a European philosopher who speaks of legal reform and the public engagement of western Muslims as active citizens.Their influence recognised on both sides of the Atlantic, Yusuf and Ramadan have been wooed and disdained by western governments and feted and berated in the court of public opinion. Ramadan went from being hailed as a new Muslim Luther to being a lightning conductor for the debate about Islamism and Muslim integration, particularly on the left. He was until recently banned from entering the US, while Caroline Fourest and Paul Berman have devoted entire books to unmasking what they see as the dangerous, radical Ramadan.Today two basic questions are being asked ever more insistently about Islam. The first is whether Muslims can prosper and live harmoniously in the west. This is a question not of Islamic reform but of how robust democratic processes of inclusion are.

The closing of this department would be disastrous for the academic and intellectual life of this country, and we urge that the decision to do so be reconsidered.Further, we wish to express grave concern at the suspension, on 21 May, of Professor Peter Hallward, Professor Peter Osborne and a number of Middlesex University students.

Finding talented employees has become a major stumbling block for private Chinese firms keen on broadening their economic horizons. And even when they do offer market prices for skilled help, members of today's talent pool are often hesitant to join local companies.

- Election TV debate from a US perspective | Larry Sabato
The three party leaders' articulacy put US politicians to shame, but Cameron seemed high-handed and Brown old-fashionedFrom an American perspective, there was a clear winner of Britain's first-ever prime ministerial TV debate: Nick Clegg. He looked sharp, was consistently articulate, and was able to challenge the other two candidates pointedly and effectively. By contrast, the other candidates gave unmemorable performances. Just as advertised, the incumbent prime minister seemed to belong to a pre-television era. Gordon Brown came across as old and leaden without seeming especially wise. David Cameron was stiff and occasionally uncertain, with an upper-class manner that appeared high-handed at times.Having said that, Clegg had it easy. Almost no one thinks he's the next prime minister, so the pressure was off. Both Brown and Cameron were respectful and friendly because they covet his voters. Both the Labour and Tory candidates occasionally used Clegg as a battering ram against the real opponent.In an American context, the three party leaders were marvellously articulate, putting US politicians to shame, including Barack Obama – who can be stilted without his teleprompter. This was a debate steeped in details and policy. There were plenty of memorised soundbites, yet the format encouraged quick thinking and gave voters a sense of the mental agility of each candidate.The subjects of the questions were familiar to anyone who watched the 2008 US presidential clashes: immigration, education, the healthcare system, and war casualties. The answers were different, for sure. Americans wouldn't necessarily have recognised the reasonable, constructive, multi-party approach to immigration, the informative commentary about educational reform, and the consensus about the worth of gov 3党の指導者の明確さは残念に米国の政治家を置くが、キャメロンは高圧とブラウン古いfashionedFromアメリカの視点ように、英国初の首相のテレビ討論の明確な勝者：ニッククレッグされました
- Maria Kerigan
While she was head of English at Cardinal Griffin school, Poplar, in east London, in the 1950s, my grandmother Maria Kerigan, who has died aged 95, developed an interest in drama and broadcasting. When she retired from teaching in 1968, she decided to volunteer for Mary Whitehouse's National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, and in 1970 became its first national secretary. However, her approach to censorship and broadcasting standards was quite different from Whitehouse's.Films such as Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange were then testing the limits of the British Board of Film Censors (later Classification, BBFC). While denouncing Kubrick's most controversial work, Maria was careful to differentiate between a film depicting violence for its own sake and one where it could be contextualised. Where Whitehouse's approach was absolute, Maria believed instead in providing information to viewers and listeners. Indeed, she felt that the violence in films such as The Godfather (which became one of her favourites) could be fully justified by the story.Whitehouse regularly appeared on television, arguing for taste and decency. Maria, however, quietly operated the machinery of the association, engaging in effective diplomacy with figures in the BBFC, BBC and government, and making the case for greater provision of information and education about film and television productions.Her pragmatism may have produced an unspoken tension with Whitehouse. They parted company as campaigners shortly after The Romans in Britain trial of 1982. Whitehouse's autobiography, Quite Contrary (1993), omitted all mention of Maria, despite her years as a dedicated volunteer.Born near Leigh, in Lancashire, Maria won a scholarship to Mount St Joseph grammar school in Bolton, then read 一方彼女は東ロンドンにある枢機卿グリフィン学校、ポプラ、で英語の頭は、1950年代にあった、私の祖母マリアKerigan氏は95歳で死去したが、ドラマの放送に関心を開発した
- A game of threes | Andrew Brown
We all believe in being rational and open-minded. We all think we might be wrong. So here is a small and simple challengeThis may be the shortest thread ever. I was prompted by an exchange in comments to wonder whether it was really true, as A. N. Whitehead claimed, that everyone thinks their own beliefs are the summit of western philosophy. So the challenge is a simple one. Name three people, preferably contemporaries, whom you honestly believe are smarter, better educated, and more honest than you are, but who disagree with you about God. So atheists must name believers, and vice versa. It would be nice if these people were well-known enough for their names to mean something, but I don't think that's essential, and, let's face it,most of us don't know anyone well-known personally, and journalists only know them professionally. In a spirit of fair-mindedness, I will kick off with three of each.

- The EU must help Pakistan | Wajid Shamsul Hasan
Pakistan is making great sacrifices to fight terrorism, but our largest trading partner doesn't allow us fair access to its marketsAfter almost a decade of military rule, my country, Pakistan, returned to democracy two years ago. These two years have been momentous. Pakistan now stands on high moral ground, with a democratic government, an independent judiciary and a free media. Yet it finds itself still in a state of war.We have entered our 31st year of war: first against Soviet expansionism and then the ugly legacy of terrorism after 9/11. Due to its strategic location, Pakistan was drawn into a second conflict, more horrendous than the first. By choice or necessity, the battle is now very much our own.Though riding the momentum of successful elections, the government is stretching itself thin to eradicate extremism and terrorism in the region. As a result, we are faced with severe challenges, given the heavy losses of life, destruction of infrastructure, and adverse international perception of Pakistan as a place to do business.Fighting this war may have been necessary, but it has also proved very expensive: the west has much more to do to support Pakistan's nascent democracy in delivering its election promises of employment, health and education.During the current fiscal year, our development budget has been slashed by a third, as we have had to divert funds to shore up our security-related expenditure on the western and eastern frontiers. Pakistan's plummeting economy, the fragility of its democratic institutions, and the difficulties of the civilian administration in re-establishing normal government functions in cleared-up areas like Swat, need the attention of its western allies.

- Ashok Kumar obituary
Teesside Labour MP with an unrivalled constituency recordAshok Kumar, who has died suddenly aged 53, was a diligent and committed constituency MP who had a reputation in the Labour party for achieving a record level of contact with the voters in his Middlesbrough South and Cleveland East constituency. It was a measure of his anxiety about the danger of losing his seat in the House of Commons, having first been elected at a byelection for a seat he then lost at the subsequent general election.It proved a catalyst for his political career. Every weekend he returned to Teesside from Westminster and worked on his local campaigns to promote his own political causes and those of the party. In consequence, he achieved a phenomenal 80% contact rate with his constituents, which was regarded with awe by his colleagues at Westminster and with quiet satisfaction by the residents of the seat he first won (before boundary changes) in 1991. He was modest about this achievement. He was a quiet man who was regarded as a loner in the House of Commons, which can, in any case, be a very lonely place, even for the most convivial.Kumar was born in Hardwar, India, the son of Jagat Ram Saini and Santosh Kumari, who brought him to live in Derby at the age of two. He went to Rykneld Boys' secondary modern and left with only two O-levels at the age of 15. He then found himself unable to get a job, but was rescued through an introduction to socialism from a friend, which then led to him being persuaded to return to full-time education. The story was told that he went to a local library and requested to borrow the works of Lenin, but was gently directed towards the Tribune newspaper. He became an enthusiastic leftwing socialist, whose heroes were Aneurin Bevan and Michael Foot, and when he arrived Teesside労働党無類の選挙recordAshokクマール氏は突然、53歳で死去したと、勤勉と約束選挙mpは彼のミドルスブラ韓国とクリーブランド東部の選挙区の有権者との接触の最高レベルを達成するため、労働党内で評判だった
- Percy Sutton obituary
Energetic embodiment of US black progressAs his protege the Rev Al Sharpton put it, the politician, lawyer and businessman Percy Sutton, who has died aged 89, personified a century in which African-American people started as victims, but ended as victors. Though Sutton's father had been born into slavery before the civil war, he became a farmer and then the head teacher of a segregated high school in San Antonio, Texas. All of his 12 surviving children got a college education, and Percy went on to become a significant figure in New York politics and a role model for the next generation.After studying at the all-black Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and the Hampton Institute in Virginia, Sutton served in the second world war in the all-black fighter squadron known as the Tuskegee Airmen, and as an intelligence officer in Italy. Then he went to law school in Brooklyn, and soon built up a practice as a civil rights lawyer.He represented many black activists arrested in civil rights demonstrations in the south, and was himself once arrested with Stokely Carmichael. He was lawyer to Malcolm X and his widow, Betty Shabazz, and defended their grandson when, at the age of 12, he was convicted of starting the fire that killed Shabazz in 1997.Sutton in effect succeeded Adam Clayton Powell Jr as the political boss of Harlem, joining a group of African-American politicians known as the Harlem Clubhouse. It included the future powerful black congressman Charles Rangel; the future mayor of New York, David Dinkins; and Basil Paterson, the father of the present governor of New York, David Paterson.In 1965, Sutton was elected a member of the New York state assembly and soon became the spokesman for its 13 African-American members.

- Do we need an International Women's Day?
For some, tomorrow's event is a necessity; for others, it is an anachronismAnastasia de WaalYou might say absolutely not – surely celebrations like these don't promote equality between the sexes but hammer home divides? Yet however much closer we creep to a scenario where life relates to who you are rather than your gender, International Women's Day will always matter.Feminism might no longer be fashionable, but we all need to look back and recognise the huge advances that women have made – as well as the many miles there are still left to go.And if we want female equality really to be appreciated, turning IWD into a public holiday as the Chinese have would probably do the trick.Anastasia de Waal is head of family and education at the think-tank CivitasBarbara GunnellMost special days have been invented by greeting card manufacturers but somehow this one passed Hallmark by. Yet a day to think about what women have gained (or lost) is a good idea. So, I reflect. It is far better being a woman in 2010 than it would have been in 1909 when American socialists celebrated the first such day. By the time the United Nations adopted the idea in 1975, western women were able to terrify men with dungarees and orgasm on demand. But the pay gap in the United Kingdom remains huge (women earn about 77% of male earnings), and women's pensions are more than a third less than men's. But, perhaps the worst imbalance of all, women still only hold 20% of the seats in parliament.Barbara Gunnell is a writer and editorSunder KatwalaYes. Feminism made some important progress possible in the past 40 years, but its mission is far from finished. Take political power.

- Jack Pole obituary
Respected British expert in American history, prolific author and cricket fanaticJack Pole, who has died aged 87, was one of the most erudite and insightful of British historians of early American history, and one of the first British historians of America whose work was taken seriously by US historians. He had the courage to tackle the big ideas of American ideology – among them liberty, equality and representation. He also anticipated, in work shared with his friend Jack P Greene, the modern interest in Atlantic history. Throughout his career, he showed great intellectual independence. Because he could take a very broad view, and root it in detailed mastery of the archival sources, he compelled respect even from those who did not expect to agree with him.His intellectual method, in fact, resembled his style in the game of cricket, the other great obsession of his life. Crouched at the wicket, he would defend, if necessary, for hours, with infinite tenacity, then abruptly deliver the most elegant of off-drives or a blatant slog over the bowler's head.For 10 years until 1989, he held the Rhodes chair of American history at Oxford University and a fellowship at St Catherine's College. He succeeded in ensuring that American history should be taken seriously at Oxford, and caused waves by insisting that it should be taught only by qualified specialists. He was also one of the ringleaders in the successful move to deny an honorary degree to Margaret Thatcher, not (as Conservatives who did not know him maintained) out of snobbery, but because he considered that Thatcher had damaged British higher education.For such a careful researcher, Jack was a prolific author.

- Bring back economic sanity | Jeffry Frieden
Financial regulation should help those in need and take from those who profited most from the excesses of the past decadeThe current economic crisis has caused widespread suffering, and the suffering is far from over. We welcome signs of recovery, but this will not end the need for continued sacrifice. A decade of irresponsible policies has left many countries in an unsustainable position, and the impact of attempts to remedy those mistakes will be felt for another decade to come. Progressives need to respond to the crisis and its aftermath in a way that is both economically sensible and socially defensible.We in the US are living through a classic debt crisis. The roots of the crisis go back to 2001, when massive tax cuts drove the federal government from large-scale surpluses to huge deficits. This began an extraordinary surge in American foreign borrowing, which averaged between half a trillion and a trillion dollars a year between 2001 and 2007.The borrowing binge was intensified by American monetary policy, as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates at unprecedentedly low levels. This encouraged households to join the borrowing bonanza, expanding housing and credit card debt at a dizzying pace. The five trillion dollars flooding into the country from abroad had the typical effects of an inflow of foreign funds: demand for hard goods rose, leading to an import surge and swelling the trade deficit, while demand for non-traded goods and services also rose, leading to a surge in the price of such non-tradables as healthcare, entertainment, education and housing.As is typical in classical capital flow cycles of this sort, foreign borrowing sparked an economic expansion, which became a boom, which became a bubble, which has now burst.

- Towards a just society | Michael Sandel
Although we debate the meaning of the 'good life', it is impossible without shared ideas about justice and civic virtuesToday, most of our political arguments revolve around welfare and freedom – increasing economic output and respecting people's rights. But a just society requires something more: reasoning together about the meaning of the good life. Whether we're arguing about financial bailouts and bankers' bonuses, or the growing gap between rich and poor, or how to contend with the environmental costs of economic growth, questions of justice are bound up with competing notions of civic virtue and the common good.In 2008, Barack Obama tapped Americans' hunger for a public life of larger purpose and articulated a politics of moral and spiritual aspiration. During the first year of his presidency, however, he has found it difficult to translate this politics of aspiration into governance. So, as frustration with politics builds on both sides of the Atlantic, it is worth asking what a new politics of the common good might look like. Here are four possible themes:Citizenship, sacrifice and service: If a just society requires a strong sense of community, it must find a way to cultivate in citizens a dedication to the common good. It can't be indifferent to the attitudes and dispositions that citizens bring to public life. It must find a way to challenge purely privatised notions of the good life, and cultivate civic virtue. Traditionally, schools have been sites of civic education. In some generations, the military has been another. I'm referring not to the explicit teaching of civic virtue, but to the practical, often inadvertent civic education that takes place when young people from different economic classes and ethnic communities come together. It is a serious ques ただし、我々は、それなしには、私たちの政治的な主張の大部分の福祉と自由を中心に展開 - 経済力を高め、人々の権利を尊重し、正義と市民virtuesTodayについてのアイデアを共有することは不可能です。。u0026#39;いい暮らし。。u0026#39;の意味を議論

- Pierre Chabert obituary
French theatre-maker and Beckett specialistPierre Chabert, who has died of a cerebral haemorrhage aged 70, was one of France's leading actors in the intellectual theatre. He came to specialise in the work of both Samuel Beckett, with whom he collaborated for many years, and Robert Pinget.In the mid-60s, Chabert was cast in Pinget's monologue L'Hypothèse (Hypothesis), in Paris. Pinget was primarily a novelist, who had started to write for the theatre and had little idea of stage direction, so he turned to his friend Beckett for advice. Beckett devised a precise staging for the production. Although he always knew (usually against the will of the director) exactly how he wanted things done, it was the first time that Beckett had directed. Chabert's article about the production has been widely reprinted over the years in many countries.Chabert wrote for many theatrical journals on the practical problems of bringing difficult modern works to life on the stage and on dramatic theory in general. He was an innovative director, an adapter of novels for the stage and a brilliant reader of literary texts, possessing a resonant voice that was as instantly recognisable as that of his mentor, Jean-Louis Barrault, in whose company he performed for many years.Born just outside Paris shortly after the outbreak of the second world war, Chabert was educated in Grenoble, south-east France. He originally wanted to be a singer but found his calling in acting. After working for several small theatre companies, he began a lengthy collaboration with Barrault and Barrault's wife, Madeleine Renaud.Among the other authors performed by Chabert were Pinget, Serge Rezvani, Raymond Cousse and Alain Didier-Weill.

- Jyoti Basu obituary
Veteran communist politician who nearly became prime minister of IndiaJyoti Basu, who has died aged 95, was one of the last Indian politicians whose careers started before the end of British rule. He was a stalwart of the much-fractured communist movement, but his devout socialism was tempered by pragmatism and an unerring political instinct. He was chief minister of his beloved West Bengal state for more than 23 continuous years – longer by far than any other chief minister of any Indian state.That remarkable tenure was made possible by Basu's towering popularity, the result of seven decades of public and political service, most of it in Kolkata (or Calcutta, as it was known for most of his long life). He could have gone to the very top, as India's first communist prime minister in the mid-1990s, but his chance evaporated when his Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) decided to boycott the United Front coalition, which went on to rule under HD Deve Gowda of the Janata Dal. Basu thought the boycott a calamitous mistake, but true to style he remained steadfastly loyal to his party.Jyoti Kiran Basu (the middle name was quickly dropped) was born into a well-to-do Hindu family. His father, a respectable doctor, was later horrified by Jyoti's choice of a political career, and even more by his choice of party. But the boy's early years were comfortably uneventful. He was educated in private schools and graduated from Presidency College, Kolkata, before sailing to Britain in 1935 to study law.There, he became fascinated by leftist theory and practice. He attended lectures by Harold Laski, and got involved with the Communist Party of Great Britain. He wanted to join the party, but was dissuaded by its general secretary Harry Pollitt, who knew the young Indian could get into ベテランの共産主義の政治家、ほぼIndiaJyoti Basu氏は95歳で死去したの首相となり、その1つのキャリア、英国の支配が終わる前に最後に起動したインドの政治家だった

- In praise of… Freya von Moltke
In Berlin's Mitte district, an understated memorial centre honours the men and women who resisted Nazi rule. Its modesty is fitting, because relatively few Germans were prepared to risk their lives to take on Hitler, even if the restraint makes for a contrast with occasional French claims about their resistance, which, though it later grew, was initially also thin on the ground. The rebels' rarity provides additional reason to revere them as individuals – especially now time's tide has pushed them to the brink of extinction. Yesterday brought news of the death – at 98 years – of one of the most remarkable of the species, Freya von Moltke. Wealthy and well educated, Von Moltke and her husband, Helmuth, did not use their privileges to protect themselves, but instead to do what they could for victims of the Nazis. Ultimately, they tried in vain to bring the poisonous regime to an end. Helmuth's Kreisau Circle, the dissident set which drew its name from his country estate, dreamed up plans for democracy from the early 1940s, and backed the attempt to assassinate Hitler in 1944. After it failed, Freya was left a widow when Helmuth was executed. She dedicated much of the six and a half decades of post-war life she would enjoy to chronicling the German resistance, in lectures and books, and in her later years she supported the conversion of Kreisau into a centre for European reconciliation. A woman who lived and sacrificed through her country's darkest years, was keen to bequeath the promise of a brighter future.Second world warAdolf HitlerGermanyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

Those categories that have been left out, like cinematographer, short film and editing, have been ignored because they aren't presented in sufficient award ceremonies to warrant a comparison.So far, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, about bomb disposal experts in Iraq, is leading the directing and film categories, though Michael Haneke's film The White Ribbon, set in pre-world war Germany, took the honours at the European Film Awards last month.Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart), George Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man) and Morgan Freeman (Invictus) lead the acting nominations, while Sandra Bullock, recently named the biggest box office draw of 2009, has received rare critical acclaim for drama The Blind Side. Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia), Carey Mulligan (An Education) and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) are also doing it for the girls.Who will make it to the Oscars and who will fall by the wayside?

- Brain food: why are so many terrorists engineers?
Why is it that so many Islamic terrorists have studied engineering?Whatever else Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is – privileged young Nigerian, pious introvert and all the other details in those journey-to-jihad profiles – he is also a graduate in mechanical engineering from University College London. That slots the Detroit plane bomber into a gruesome tradition: Islamist terrorists who trained as engineers.There are plenty more. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Mohamed Atta, 9/11 mastermind and ringleader respectively: both engineers. Imam Samudra, plotter of the Bali nightclub bombings: an engineer. Kafeel Ahmed, who tried to bomb Glasgow Airport in 2007: an MPhil in aeronautical engineering from Belfast.That link is more than coincidental. Analysing data on 284 jihadis from across the Muslim world, Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog found that 69% had been to university – which, if borne out generally, suggests al-Qaida is better educated than the British workforce. And 44% went into engineering, with Islamic studies a distant second at 19%. Put another way, engineers in Muslim countries were between three and four times more likely to become violent extremists than other graduates.Why? It's not just a case of being handy with explosives – sadly, terrorist bombs are relatively easy to make. And it isn't simply because engineering is a very popular degree in developing countries – nearly 60% of graduate Islamic radicals in the west are also engineers. The link has something to do with economics. A good student in Cairo, say, might expect to go on to a well-paid job – yet graduate employment across the Middle East is hard to find. Frustrated ambition is often a catalyst for radicalisation – just ask Jean-Paul Marat. But that wouldn't explain why leftwing extremists tend to be tra なぜそのように多くのイスラムテロリスト工学を専攻しては何ですか？どのような他のウマルファルークAbdulmutallabです-特権を持つ若いナイジェリア、敬虔な内向的な、これらの旅で彼は大学で機械工学を卒業しています他のすべての詳細は、ジハードのプロファイル-ツーロンドン
