the Prime Minister's Office, has sometimes seemed unlikely - even colleagues - but a malfunction of work and relentless focus restacked chances Campaign
The first time I asked Tony Abbott about his leadership ambitions, we were on a plane to six places above the canvas Red Desert Uluru-center and seemed very unlikely that your chances, even for him, he hardly dared to answer the question.
That was in 2004, as Minister of Health and former Prime Minister John Howard, who was on his way to a remote Aboriginal community and begin to think deeply about complex indigenous political issues are disadvantaged. But as a politician was already a caricature widely regarded as a masterpiece kicker, undisciplined, too religious, too aggressive, a fan
"There is a certain excitement about Abbott," said a Liberal at the time, the former Rhodes Scholar, seminarian, cement plant manager, journalist and political adviser. "It can be a little disconcerting ... not for nothing called the Mad Monk."
Abbottreluctantly revealed that he was aware of the reluctance of his colleagues, but after slipping around your response for several minutes, finally admitted that he fantasize about taking the Liberal Party.
"But people have a lot of fantasies about a lot of things," he added quickly, laughing with his hoarse laugh in a sort of self-critical way. "I want to fantasize a lot longer to get out of politics and become a full-time member of Davidson Rural Fire [near his home Sydney] I favor a little more ... You never know what the future holds, but as far as I know, this hierarchy has always been very clear. Howard first, second Costello, and then a whole group of people, including Alexander Downer, Brendan Nelson ... and people like me "
Toursdefeat future held for Howard, Costello and Downer waiver and only a short time as opposition leader Nelson.
But even in 2009, when the coalition was in rebellion against the successor of Nelson, Malcolm Turnbull, for his support for the emissions trading scheme Labor, Abbott was not considered the choice logic, and surprised his party and himself, when he won the leadership vote with one voice.
aware of the precariousness of life as a leader of the opposition, chose relentless attack as a deliberate tactic to keep survey notes sound pretty competitive advantage, he kept his job. It was a strategy that had the Coalition on the verge of winning the 2010 elections and consolidating its leading position, but it was a tactic that reinforces the doubts voters about his personal characteristics, including aggression.
colleagues, the first probably exceeded their reputation Abbott was the lack of discipline. It was taken less often by the comments of the socket and the loose language (but there was always strange observation unattended in Australia housewives doing the ironing, and feel a little threatened by homosexuality), and even his detractors held had a deep respect for the tireless energy he brought to a permanent grueling campaign schedule to start each day with your exercise regime before dawn exhausting.
But we were not sure yet. The economic "dry" (as opposed to the more moderate faction of the "wet") within the Liberal Party, for example, hated regime of paid parental leave extremely expensive imposed as "captain's choice", one in an attempt restarting his image with women voters, some of whom remained cautious in the open position, he took in 2004 the number of abortions in Australia and offer as Minister of Health to retain the last word on the import abortion drug RU486, but now I believe that abortion should be declared "safe, legal and rare."
traditional liberal concern that several articles of political faith - lower taxes, no laws restricting competition, investment policy abroad, participation in the minimum manufacturing - have been diverted to after the election of "tests." Traditionalists are not exactly what their leader was on the economic spectrum between their own ideals of the free market and hand interventionist tendencies of different people like his good friend Barnaby Joyce National Party, which had helped convince Abbott racing direction in the first place.
And still significant concerns about the anti-liberal media and socially conservative political context Abbott said the head of the Coalition itself during the election campaign in this way.
"My first political mentor was a guy named BA Santamaria many of you in Melbourne would always remember and BA Santamaria was a friend of workers, it was not an enemy of the workers. Was essentially a man's job, of course, was not a liberal till the end of his life, Santa was still a little suspicious of the Liberal Party. I was a union member myself when I was a journalist. think there are many good good unions and unionists who simply do not like the area. "
Meanwhile, the Nationals remain deeply concerned about the system of parental leave many rural mothers who work from home at a disadvantage and have no idea how the Coalition will take care proposals foreign investment "red hot" the bid, pending business handling higher grain in Australia by an American company.
But the tantalizing prospect of victory, the work has continued to crumble, which means everything - especially - kept their mistakes to themselves
The public, however, took longer to convince. In late 2012, nearly 60% of voters said they disapproved of how Abbott was doing his job as Leader of the Opposition.
- Work

This has not been helped by the budget remains in deficit- after years of hard work have defined unwise for a return to surpluses (which Labour had appointed precisely because I was afraid of this Coalition campaign). But then, when their cost calculations finally released in the last hours of the campaign, is that it will return the budget to surplus labor was faster no planning.
Gradually, through perseverance and Labour own ineptitude and internal division, Abbott began to dictate the terms of almost all parts of the national political debate.

students, with an average of ? 2,000 of gadgets, are three times more likely to be stolen by an average household. We welcome your coverage options
The average student now plans over ? 2,000 worth of laptops, smartphones and bike to school, but they are almost three times more likely to be stolen from a traditional family home. So what to do on the insurance purchase?
In general, there are two options. Obtain coverage through the policy content of the resale of their parents, or to purchase your own specialist student politics
Use Policy parental home is the option (often totally free) cheaper. But some parents understandably cautious as theft ruin the discount for lack of disasters.
If you have a standard policy in the largest insurer Aviva UK, provided that the student is still living in the family home during the holidays, automatically have ? 5,000 to cover the care for property accommodation of the school year for students, whether home or a shared student halls on campus.
This will protect the property - including laptops, mobile phones and other devices - for all common risks such as fire, storm, flood or malicious damage.

But not all contents insurance policies are so generous. Some just cover your property if you live on campus, in the rooms, for example, not if you live in a shared off-campus housing. Others include only items that are in their own individual room locked and in public spaces in the student housing as a stored television in the living room of a shared house.

annual list of the college students of the first year American knows is a fun read for the British and other cultures
As a British student who spent part of last year studying in the United States I became a kind of "translator" of the English and American culture. Recently, I learned from the Beloit Mindset List , an annual compilation of what freshmen in the United States "know" ( at least in a cultural sense) . It all began in 1998 when two American researchers realized that many of his colleauges quoting movies, TV shows and singers who sounded terribly outdated for the generation of students.
list mentality for 2017 has just been published , and makes very interesting reading , especially the British. I found myself thinking : that these same cultural reference points are in the pond ? I am ranked on the list in 2015 ( American universities are four-year course , I forgot trying to search the site for 1993 , for a short period of time).
reading "my" list, in fact there are some observations that appear how our world has changed , especially for my generation.
63. They will not go near a store that does not have a website.
This is something that has begun to affect all generations , not just my generation will not do it, my parents , and certainly not the most skilled in technology tend to to " do you have a website ? " . It is not just having a website has changed , I am very suspicious of all retailers that resembles a Wordpress template modified , or if your entire site is written in Times New Roman, with bad formatting paragraph. We have all become critical Internet , really.
49. Public schools have always made space available for advertising .
It is a sad state of affairs , and something that the United Kingdom has clearly learned Latin . Of course, when the American public say they really want in the way of common sense that the school is public and the state. It seems more and more that schools feel compelled to put banners displayed their latest results . Education is not a competition, you can not " compete " the mind of a child against the spirit of another child.
30. Dial-up is soooo last century!
This is true . My family is lucky to have a very good fiber connection , given where we are in the UK. I do not even remember 56k speed and sounds of telephone and became something that YouTube should now look for when you want a moment of nostalgia , or when you are on the website to share videos with family and also in the " related videos " bottom right , for no apparent reason .
38. Adults have always been arguing about health care policy .
This is unfortunately more a conversation in Britain . I 'm not a conspiracy theorist , but the NHS seems to come under a lot of attacks (especially of Health and Social Act 2012, I might add) , to the extent that you can start to wonder how long ' ll before David Cameron offers " an alternative " . Of course, the U.S. is a totally different game.
So what is different for students this year? What can university professors in the U.S. students expect to see reference to when the school year starts in the coming weeks across the United States?
The only thing that really stands out is how we change our language and meaning of the word technology. Consider these items in the list of 2017:
19. Plasma was never a body fluid.
29. Java has never been just a cup of coffee.
Many scientists continue to express how , such as stone, bronze and iron ages , we live in the "information" era , a period of rapid growth of technology with results that far exceed the previous imagination. This is certainly a sign of things to come. Our language is flexible and changes all the time , and it seems that the reappropriation of words with new friends is the technology industry way.

Patience Akumu wrote about life - and death - of homosexual activists for five years at the Observer Kampala. Here's how the ruins of his country deeply rooted discrimination
never wanted to write about gay rights in Uganda. The only question that crept over me, and I failed to hear the cries of battered women and holding the hands of children who die.
is faceless, mysterious, disturbing labeled gay in my skirts and called my heart to find their way. I watched for a while and I knew it would be cruel to move again. I never wanted to give up the possibility of a lucrative career in law just to be a defender of the damned and rejected - and be rejected and cursed myself. I never intended to spend two hours in front of my computer, thinking of ways to explain why the heck I get with homosexuality only to break the heart of my brothers, Let my father and my boyfriend worry for my mother because her daughter and pity.
homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and in 2009 a bill that proposes the death penalty for certain homosexual acts was presented to Parliament, highlighting the brutal government sanctioned discrimination against sexual minorities ruined my country.
I found the gay question 22, fresh law graduate young journalist eager to make their mark and are willing to do jobs that no journalist wanted to do. It was a world where everything was fine, even heroic, to challenge the decades of the regime and its forms in other things. If your unit has been overwritten or slept in prison to cover a riot, social media week will sing your praise and proudly share pictures of your challenge.
But heaven help you if you wrote about homosexuals, unless of course he condemned the devastation they cause in the culture and religion. Or "investigate" how are infiltrating schools, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, causing fistulae and forcibly recruit children to join a "gay army".
Reportsother would immediately be regarded with suspicion: "Are you gay you Butabika Is it necessary to visit [psychiatric hospital] whites are paid to do this"
But homosexuality looked everyone in the face. A comment here and there to make a law saying that it was a matter of human rights, a brief article in the newspaper about a homosexual who had disappeared, a call from a minister who believed that homosexuals should leave the country, hard sex with masks and appearing on television and threatening police with arrest. Who were these people? For a long time when I thought that homosexuals only saw the masks and the innocent children who have been expelled from high school for allegedly being gay.
whole was banned and exciting territory, and I went into a corner without a care in the world - that's the kind of story that the average house was ready to publish, then why not? I still remember my first meeting with gay rights activist Frank Mugisha and Pepe Onziema in a restaurant near my workplace. I took a friend along this "dangerous" work. Share chips (my friend told me that the worst part of the interview was to have room with homosexuals) and we talked about many things I had heard in the category of human rights in University - the right to equality, non-discrimination, privacy.
also talked about things I had never imagined. Gays and lesbians have been raped, sometimes with sticks, the parents had banned their children to be gay and now children threatened suicide. A father had tried to conquer the death of his daughter lesbian couple. No doubt, these are the things that the media should cover! All the stories of women and the rights of children he had written to me had become a voice for the voiceless, who loved nothing NGOs call for human rights related to the cause of my "refreshing" and journalism "care."
For me, embracing gay rights was simply an extension of the good work. I did not expect emails hatred, vile insults Facebook or face to face messages. No one told me there would be no suspicious glances from colleagues, friends lost and severe warnings not write many gay stories, as it could affect the circulation of newspapers. And nobody told me that having a baby would make me even more disgusting - hypocritical campaign for the rights of homosexuals, when she has a husband Until I had a baby, I do not care if everyone thought I was gay, as long as I knew I was doing the right thing (and professional).
- But now, when I'm at home in the evenings to play with my daughter and watching her sleep, I can navigate the hate mail, do not forget the poison in the eyes of my colleagues and imagine what life would be like for herself with a mother who does what I do. But again, I say, I would not be worse if I reported on politics or the army or the failing economy. anyway, you always run the risk of not getting admission for her in the best schools. The only difference is that I will not have a more sympathetic audience for me, just some insignificant minority.
Sometimes, before arriving home, I think his warnings, stroking my degree and play with the idea of ??applying for a job in law. I dream of a life where I'm a hero easy - just talk about women and children who all agree, they deserve better. One in which I give to homosexuals because, well, why should I care? I'm not gay and I have no gay parents (at least not that I know). They will survive, homosexuals. I'm sure. Days like this, I'm going to bed with a determination: I'll be damned if I write a story about homosexuality
But then comes the morning with the story of a gay man beaten. Or text Frank told me that one of the gay people I visited died of AIDS and that there are many more to follow in their wake.
Yes, the morning comes with headlines asking Ugandans to "hang" and nobody seems to care. A phone call gay NGO "Patience this patient" ... You can not leave me alone? I realize that, unlike me, you can not just wake up one day and away from the issue of homosexuality. My story the past five years has been the story of their lives and deaths. Again, I can hear myself and I know that this is a story that must be told. And if I do not say that the world could do the job for my country. And once again that we are the worst place to be gay. And we're not, really. There is a big misunderstanding.

a standardized protocol and diagnostic tests accelerate the development and distribution of drugs and provide faster treatment
On July 13, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS (UNAIDS) has announced its ambition to provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) to 15 million people infected with HIV / AIDS to 2015 (compared to a total of 9.7 million in 2012). The new framework has been published in the back of the new guidelines recommend that patients begin treatment before the WHO.
More specifically, the guidelines have raised the CD4 threshold where art should be prescribed blood of 350 cells/mm3 and 500 cells/mm3. CD4 cells are white blood cells attacked by HIV, his account gives an indication of the state of the immune system of an individual and the progression of the disease
CD4 are essential to achieve the objective of UNAIDS, particularly in Africa, where HIV prevalence is high, but the test is not widely available in countries with poor health .
In Malawi, for example, only 10% of health centers offer CD4. The situation is very similar to other parts of the continent and millions of people are waiting for their CD4 count.
The introduction of point of care testing decentralized, which can be used in environments with limited resources for health care workers in low-skilled, could significantly increase coverage. In Mozambique, the introduction of point of care CD4 in primary care clinics has doubled the number of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy and halved the time required for patients to begin treatment.
The problem is that this kind of point of care diagnostics are kind of blind spot when it comes to regulation. "We have a very good framework for drug regulation, but there is a gap in the diagnosis," says Jani Ilesh, director of the National Institute of Sa?de (National Health Service) in Mozambique. "There is a diagnostic log, similar to the drugs, but not really a good regulatory function."
Instead, the government decided to have a diagnosis on an ad hoc basis, which leaves the sector vulnerable to lobbying and poor quality products, says Jani.
The reason for this regulatory oversight is that the point of care diagnostics is a relatively recent phenomenon, says Brenda Moon, coordinator of market dynamics with UNITAID funding for global health. Originally developed and approved in developed countries and developing countries to take. "Now there's a lot of innovation in the diagnosis specifically designed for use in the poorest countries - products that are portable, point of care, and can be used by health workers in the community," says the Moon. "The bad news is that we have a complete system to ensure the quality of these products." attempt to fill this gap, UNITAID has decided to give $ 5 million to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to create a harmonized regulatory framework for diagnosis in Africa.
- Work
- school in London will focus on CD4 and two main diagnostic used in the treatment of HIV viral load test, which tests the patient's response to treatment and early diagnosis of infant (EID), which allows to test infants before the age of 18 months, while their maternal antibodies disappear.
- Professor Rosanna Peeling, President of Diagnostic Research London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, which facilitates the initiative, said that for the moment, it takes 10-15 years for a product to reach the market. It aims to halve that.
Asia
has its own regulatory body, the Working Group on Harmonization of Asia for nearly two decades, so PAHWP takes stock of the experience of its Asian counterpart. Much of the work is in the process of rationalization and standardization such as recording, post-marketing monitoring product quality audits, etc., but the heart of the negotiations is the issue of clinical trials. "Because of the lack of regulation, even small countries insist on national approved devices' data, says Peel." The first test point service that was marketed for CD4 count had to do 60 tests, is completely untenable, "said

Theresa May should not now try to undermine a judicial system that allowed him to get a political victory for the book
justice delayed is justice denied - all refused. The State has the right to deport people considered a threat. The British public has a right to justice, such as the possible victim of deportation. For Britain to become a refuge for fallen dictators, mass murderers, tax evaders and villains is safe or healthy.
I have no problem sending people home, in the category of Abu Qatada, who came with false documents, became an ally and advisor to the terrorist and then cited fear of torture as a reason not to be expelled. These people are at risk. They swim in a cloudy ocean and must bear the consequences. British citizens are entitled to a benefit of the doubt, but the state has the right to demand good behavior of visitors or potential citizens or send them home.

approaches promoted by states like New York gaining political recognition than just locking people up is not the solution
last month brought good news for those concerned about the rate of incarceration in the United States after decades of expansion, it seems that the number of Americans in prison or jail began to decline. A closer look at the figures reveals that much of this reduction was driven by a handful of states - places like California, Michigan, New Jersey and New York - that have reduced their lists of prison by tens of thousands of prisoners during the last two years.
The history of New York is particularly worth exploring because, in its prison rolls have declined, so, too, a crime. According to a recent report (pdf) of the Vera Institute of Justice, the JFA Institute and the Brennan Center for Justice, the prison population in New York fell by 17% between 2000 and 2009 - about 71,000 to 59,000 people. Equally important, the count in the prison system in New York has dropped 40%, from nearly 22,000 in 1991 to 13,200 in 2009. In fact, it seems that New York City is the engine of the prison and the prison state decline. And, as has been well documented, crime is down in the city. There was a record low 414 murders in 2012 (whereas in 1990 there were over 2400)
What is happening here? How New York has been able to reduce crime and imprisonment at the same time? The short answer is that nobody knows for sure. As Michael Jacobson of the Vera Institute of Justice said, the precise causes "will be discussed in the social sciences until the sun reaches the earth."
- nonprofit organizations such as the Centre for alternative sentencing and employment services and employment center offers worked with the justice system to provide community-based alternatives to traditional sanctions, including drug treatment and vocational training for more than a generation. In recent years, joined dozens of drug courts, mental health courts and community courts were created by the judiciary of the State of New York under the direction of Judge Jonathan Lippman linking offenders to social services and the restoration of the community, rather than incarceration.
In New York, the political authorities have come to recognize that alternatives to incarceration should be embraced, not scorned. In fact, drug courts to expand infrastructure in New York was a central element of the reform of the Rockefeller drug laws in 2009. This bipartisan effort to reform improves the discretion of judges in New York to send the infringement court offenders in drugs and other forms of treatment, rather than long prison sentences.

- of Weston protagonist Nancy is a gynecologist who finishes are just one of the procedures that make your working day:. "In a way, it is unlike any other type of surgery is not easier or more difficult, or more no more bloody disgusting." She agreed with abortion in principle - which had one - and it's his job very well, but one day in the operating room gels. A woman at your table starts to bleed and Nancy is right there. much more complex than the controversy in favor of abortion or against abortion, Weston novel is ambiguous examination of a woman whose actions contradict his ethics inexplicably. Angle debate is rarely explored - the difficulty of reconciling a firm belief in the right of women to choose from with the recognition of the brutality of the act that will involve another human performance. Nobody wants to hear the gruesome details, but Nancy has to live with them, and it is this "silent crisis" that puts its crisis.

Moreover, this is how this fight that increases or decreases the moral authority of an activist. Lawrence said that the hairs on the current-snapshot description of it as "worthy." However, what is fundamental to the gravity below. His calm, refusing to rant or rave - even if these explosions are quite understandable - to improve their situation. This became clear once again this week, The Guardian revealed that the Metropolitan Police had sent spies infiltrated campaign to discredit Lawrence. Grace Doreen Lawrence said the past two decades, it was considered a breach too far.
- If these are the essential ingredients of moral authority is not hard to see why Mandela is the uber-example. His suffering, his response to it and its wider campaign for justice are all scale and import without parallel. He was a political prisoner on Robben Island for almost unimaginable 27 years ago. He was there as the leader and the main symbol of the struggle against apartheid, a cause which, in retrospect, if not at the time, came to be regarded as a final example of the book of good against evil . The campaign itself has become totemic for other struggles around the world, whether racism or colonial oppression. Across the world, especially blacks have seen their own destinies bound by the fate of Nelson Mandela.

tweets actor's latest film, Kick-Ass 2 is too violent are provided strangely. There are better ways to support Newtown I take sudden reversal of actor Jim Carrey seriously. He tweeted Sunday that despite looking in the movie Kick-Ass 2 (opening in August), it can further promote because it is too violent.

I wanted to apologize to those involved with the film. I'm not ashamed of it, but recent events have caused a change in my heart.
- Jim Carrey (@ JimCarrey) June 23, 2013
Carrey has some credibility on arms control. Twitter has actively taken this year to stimulate legislative action in the U.S. Senate, and he made a video parody of Charlton Heston, the former spokesman for the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby in favor of his " I give you my gun when you go out of my cold, dead hands "mantra. But the fact remains that it has signed a film titled Kick-Ass 2. The title leaves little to the imagination. This was clearly not a comedy or children's program about penguins. Even your backlinks says "not ashamed", an ambiguous environment.
- Why not make the announcement shortly after Sandy Elementary School hitch? At that time, a number of political and cultural personalities spoke of how you move and how did reassess their views. Carrey has recently finished shooting the film and have reported below.
- Or why not announce that Carrey would not act more violent movies in March or April, when President Barack Obama and the families of Newtown desperately asking allies in the House and Senate . States. and across the country. Why not say something and then, when he could have made a difference? Instead, he was a jerk mocking video used primarily to Fox News.
But now? You probably will not be reprising his role Grinch here, but not exactly the best pipe Bruce Almighty, whatever. Like many cynics have pointed out, almost certainly Carrey has received payment for his role in the film. It's a little late to wash their hands of things.

There is much evidence that public opinion on nanotechnology will be determined by religious beliefs
In Halo fiction short history of science, a group of Muslim scholars discuss a slice of bacon made by a "molecular assembler" means a device capable of producing meat directly from atoms Individual Instead of cutting the flesh of an animal. All pork is prohibited under the laws of Islam halal. Synthetic Bacon is identical to the real one, but it has never been part of a living pig. Is it still banned?
"The story may seem like a joke, but it shows that the ability of nanotechnology to manipulate atoms can change the material world, to raise religious issues," said Chris Toumey, a cultural anthropologist University of South Carolina, who has studied the relationship between nanotechnology and faith.
mainly secular voices that have expressed their thoughts and concerns about nanotechnology so far, but there is much evidence that public opinion will be determined by religious beliefs. For example, a 2009 study found that the strength of religious beliefs in the United States has a negative relationship with the financial support of nanotechnology. Study the same year found that the most religious country, unless nanotechnology tends to find morally acceptable.
far, religions have been remarkably silent on nanotechnology points outside Toumey. Nothing compared to the difficult bioethical controversies on IVF in the Catholic world, for example. "Nanotechnology is a diverse body of science and technology: some religious groups have enough universities or magazines to discuss such a complicated issue," said Toumey. "Your attention can be stopped if there is a dramatic, either positive, something like a cure against cancer, or negative, as an ecological catastrophe." The absence of official documents, it is difficult to guess the religious beliefs, but this is an opportunity for scientists to prepare in advance.
"I think there was a lot of concern about nanotechnology in religious thought, because if you look in detail the concerns that pose no nanotechnology per se, but rather specific applications, as well as food and the environment, "says Donald Bruce, founder of Edinethics consultancy based in Edinburgh, who worked for the Church of Scotland.
Analysis of the few studies on the views of believers foundToumey shared by many religions concern that nanotechnology will change the way of human nature. "Religious communities have responded to the representation of nanotechnology by a group of popular writers, called transhumanism," says Toumey.
Transhumanism is a cultural movement that considers the technology (including nano) of direct artificial human evolution, elimination of the disease, prolong life indefinitely, and use of information technology to reach cyberimmortality something storage as "the soul" of a person on a hard drive. One of its most famous advocates is the futurist Ray Kurzweil. Transhumanist ideas on the immortality of the soul and applies directly shared by most religions shock. "However, the identification of nanotechnology to the type of speakers transhumanist human enhancement is a mistake," said Bruce. A second common concern is the fear that nanotechnology can take control of individual life, creating effects on the environment, without the consent of the people, or providing tools for a better life for the rich. "These concerns echo the general concerns of the faithful towards technology in general," says Toumey. "Some of them can even be shared by non-religious people, but studies show that believers are louder in their discussion. " The language of God, the soul, the spirit and eternal life offers a range of metaphors, symbols, stories and figures of speech that are useful for navigating the ethical issues raised by the technology, according to studies .
- Beyond common concerns, the different religious denominations show a variety of approaches, in some official documents available. Catholics refer to the subject of the classic problems of bioethics are newly diagnosed embryos nanotchnology lead to abortion? Nanomedicine respect human dignity, even when health conditions deteriorate to the point where euthanasia could be considered?
- non-Catholic Christians are concerned about human arrogance: for example, an author compares nanotechnology to alchemy, warning against the dangers of "total control over the nature of the ability to transmute any substance to another. " Muslims take a very different way: instead of debating whether nanotechnology is right or wrong, discussing who has the power to make a decision: the question is written in terms of ijtihad, the procedures for issuing Islamic rulings. Jews frame the debate in the writers story of the Golem is a creature of human form by mounted men who have religious or magical powers, whose behavior can be beneficial or harmful, different stories: the bottom line is that technology can improve creation, but it comes with a burden of responsibility for human beings.
According Toumey, experts do not make their opinions based on their values ??- well established and polarized positions on technology, providing concepts such as privacy, autonomy, justice -. And not on objective criteria

In an unstable political environment against the tactics of the police rise of aggression. As a football fan, I have seen first hand
leaders in Turkey do not expect the protests that engulfed the Turkish cities since last week. But maybe they should have done. Many column inches have been spent in recent days in the taxation of conservative cultural values ??and the lack of consultation on new laws. Less attention has been paid to how the heavy hand soccer police and other large public events matches sowed the seeds of resistance were orchestrated.
In Britain, football fans in Turkey are perhaps best known for his aggressive intimidation of rival supporters. "Welcome to hell!" banners frequently fans greet visitors arriving in Istanbul. However, the clubs big fans of the big teams in Turkey are also involved in many aspects of social life, supporting charities, coordination and policy statements in recent days, the swelling street protests.
Usually Istanbul is famous for the fierce tribal rivalry among their top three clubs: Be?ikta?, Fenerbah?e and Galatasaray. All three are great, but Fenerbah?e and Galatasaray claim most fans, titles and wealth. Be?ikta? are considered the

, "the team of the people" with the working class and the fans traditionally left, and segments of his supporters in the past have been more openly critical of the current ruling AKP party.
However, recent events have seen a remarkable solidarity among fans. Traditional enmities were put aside to fight the common enemy of the police. The opposing fans were arm in arm glimpsed in scenes that would have been unthinkable only a week ago.
distance from the central Taksim Square, most of the clashes between police and demonstrators took place in the Besiktas district, home to a group called Carsi, the group of fans club Besiktas football. There are less than a month, his followers fought against the police in the same area, where hard police tactics led to large-scale violence before the last league match of the season at home. Regular use of water cannons and tear gas have ensured that those who disagree with the government and its policies have continued to fuel his anger, and abundant practice in the mechanics of street protest.
- have often been at the other end of this process, most recently in March, when the line for a match against Fenerbah?e. The police response to congestion around the turnstiles before kick off was to put pressure on the crowd with riot shields pushed faces match spectators. Bottles and sticks were followed by an explosion, a cloud of smoke and horrible nausea and burning tear gas. Through the mist, an armored truck moved slowly and began to pick isolated individuals with water cannons mounted on top. Second, part of a football game took a darker turn, with pitched battles between supporters and police.
not only to deal with football fans that the police have shown a heavy hand. Moreover, anti-government protests on college campuses were violently dispersed. On May 1, there were dozens of political protesters hospitalized after attending the March annual May Day in Taksim were arrested by force with tear gas and water cannons.

former finance minister and economist say that Egypt is in a serious condition such as foreign investment and the collapse of tourism
Egypt suffers from its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, a former finance minister of the country and one of the leading economists have warned.
In terms of its devastating effects on Egypt's poor economic situation is the worst since the 1930s, Galal Amin, Professor of Economics at the American University in Cairo, and Samir Radwan, Minister of Finance in the months of 2011, the Egyptian uprising, said in separate interviews with the Guardian.
Since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011, Egypt has experienced a drastic decline in foreign investment and tourism revenues, followed by a 60% decline in foreign exchange reserves, a decrease of 3% growth and the rapid devaluation of the Egyptian pound. All this has led to a proliferation of food prices, unemployment balloons and shortages of fuel and cooking gas - leading to the worst crisis in Egypt, Amin said, "unequivocally, since the 30"
"Nobody cares about the poor today," said Amin. During the crises in the 1960s until the mid-70s and late 80s, Amin Radwan Egypt argued that the poor were variously absolute poverty is protected by government subsidies, foreign aid, relatively low unemployment, or remittances from expatriates in the Gulf. But now, one in four young Egyptians are unemployed, remittances are low, and there is a shortage of subsidized goods.
"We are talking about almost half of the population is in a state of poverty," said Radwan, a development economist. "Whether in absolute poverty or near-poor, which means that any shock [economic] as inflation will fall below the poverty line." Currently, 25.2% of Egyptians live below the poverty, with 23.7% just above hover, according to figures from the Egyptian government.
For most Egyptians, rising food prices are the most critical problem. Some products have doubled in price since last fall - a disaster for a quarter of families already spend 50% of their income on food
For Hoda Goma, an architect of Cairo, the situation takes a toll on her two children eight years. "They get worse in school," he said. "They are sick more often. Han these black spots before his eyes and his teeth got worse. "
corresponds to your diet, explained Goma. You can not afford to feed them what they need. For six months he spent half of his salary on food. Now he says he is closer to four-fifths - not because they earn less, but because rising food prices show no sign of slowing down
"Prices are on fire," said the trader Walid Ali. Last week, Ali buy a kilo of mandarins by four Egyptian pounds - 40 British pence - wholesalers and sell them for six (60 pence). "Now, I buy and sell six to eight."
As a result, consumers are either buying less, or not buy at all. "It is impossible," said Ali. "I lost half of my clients. People can not afford to buy food." On the market of two floors in the center of Cairo, the top floor is completely empty. Neighbors said they all stall holders at the highest level had been forced to close in recent months.
inflated food prices are not a new phenomenon in a country that is the world's largest wheat importer, where the population has grown much faster than production, and where nearly half the Production is rotting in the heat on the way to market. But the recent inflation rate increased significantly by the dire economic situation in Egypt.
more problematic, the value of the Egyptian pound fell 12% against the dollar since December. For two years, the Central Bank of Egypt had used its foreign exchange reserves to stop the fall - but the reserves have fallen by 60% since 2011, the bank had to abandon the tactic of last winter. As a result, the value of the pound has dropped this year more quickly. In turn, it has become much more expensive to import foreign products - catastrophic for a country to purchase 60% of its wheat, and whose farmers also often rely on food fertilizer, fuel and imported animals
"They have a major crisis on their hands," said the EU envoy to Egypt, James Moran, who noted that foreign reserves in Egypt have fallen $ 36 billion ( 24 billion) three years ago to $ 14.4 billion months past "It gives coverage of imports of less than three months -. and an economy dependent on imports, which is very dangerous."
"We are suffering," said Ali Eissa, chairman of Nahdet Misr, a farm that grows potatoes and oranges on 3,000 hectares throughout Egypt. "He touched the majority of fertilizers, machinery, tractors. - All prices increased dramatically,"
- devaluation of sterling has also made it more difficult for the Egyptian government to import fuel. The state subsidized diesel (with products such as bread, cooking gas and fertilizer) and the dictatorship of Gamal Abdel Nasser. But these grants represent more than a fifth of the budget of Egypt, and with a budget deficit of 13%, the state can not afford to support the population level it had before. As a result, there is a daily lack bombs throughout Egypt, long queues - and sometimes deadly fighting
- "Last month, we did not find diesel," said Eissa, who was therefore obliged to resort to the black market, where it is said that fuel prices are between 40% and 80% higher than the statutory rate. "The worst thing is that most of the quantities on the black market are mixed with water -. D 'Breaking number of our machines, we need to change the filter, put the hand, stop watering, stop tractor. "
far Mohamed Morsi Islamist government tried to keep afloat Egypt with short-term measures. It has been accepted for loans and grants worth more than $ 5 billion of Gulf states such as Qatar and documents Fuel interesting to neighboring Libya. Domestically, it has avoided major economic reforms that can cause short-term disruption - perhaps for fear of riots similar to those seen in 1977 bread, when the then dictator Anwar Sadat first tinkering with subsidies temporarily. Instead, Morsi has focused on initiatives such as meaning higher taxes on imports of devices such as shrimp and nuts, or stores closing early in the evening to save electricity. Morsi also attempted to legalize the controversial

Imagine the following scenario: you're at a gathering of thousands of people about something you believe in the force - against the government to go to war, for example, or against a massive increase tuition, or because the cuts you and many know in a precarious situation disappeared. You do not know what the exact path is, perhaps, but he met the other starting point and follow the crowd. Someone along the road through a small card with the details of law firms specializing in cases of protest. You think, "I do not need that, I do not go into something confrontation", but I put the card in my pocket anyway.
few hours later, after being surrounded the crowd, charging police horses. You are at the front, fear and anger. You scream and you pushed a police officer. A few hours later, people in the boiler are released in a row, you are arrested and taken to the police station. Asked about a lawyer, you remember the card in your pocket and dial the number. Later, accused of a serious public order crime, it is recommended by your lawyer, based on evidence, plead "not guilty." After a trial that was unanimously acquitted by the jury and free, so little disoriented and irritated by the experience, to get on with his life.
- While a good lawyer and good advice is not a guarantee of absolution, you can - and often - the difference: the right to a lawyer of their choice, regardless of income, the race, sex or nationality, with the jury system, the cornerstone of justice in an unjust world.
