It is jam packed with fun, erudition, and irreverence. The forthcoming culinary season is the gourmet highlight of the year yielding the best of indigenous game, the wildest mushrooms and of course divine winter truffles. Our entertainment plans for Christmas this year have exceeded anything we have done over the last 29 years, and whilst at Boisdale of Bishopsgate and Boisdale of Mayfair we will continue with an eclectic mix of wonderful live jazz & blues every night, at our other two premises in Belgravia and Canary Wharf, I think we really have surpassed ourselves. I like to think that the Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin might have really appreciated the “Vegas” inspired restaurant and live music venue we have created at Boisdale of Canary Wharf in which we will be honouring their immortal memory for the duration of this December.

  • Merkels Stasi Umfeld Von Rolf Ehlers
    Merkels Stasi Umfeld von Rolf Ehlers Wenn wir beurteilen wollen, was wir von einem Menschen erwarten können, fragen wir immer erst danach, wo er denn hekommt. Wir suchen uns ein Bild von ihm zu machen, indem wir ergründen, in welchem Umfeld jemand in der Vergangenheit gelebt hat, was seine Freunde und Verwandten waren und welches ihre Überzeugungen waren und sind. Das nicht zu tun, hieße blauäugig zu sein… Wir deutschen Wähler werden aber seit Jahren darüber im Dunkeln gelassen, aus welchem Umfeld denn unsere Kanzlerin kommt. Keine der maßgebenden Zeitungen hat darüber mehr als oberflächlich berichtet, bis jetzt das Schweizmagazin am 29.5.2008 titelte: “Deutsche Kanzlerin Merkel ein Stasi-Spitzel?” In der Talk-Show von Anne Will wies Oskar Lafontaine, der sich heftigen Angriffen wegen seiner Zusammenarbeit mit Gegor Gysi als angeblichem Zuträger der Stasi ausgesetzt sah, darauf hin, dass es die Kanzlerin Merkel selbst sei, die eine Aktivistin des DDR-Systems gewesen sei. Informationen, die in den Archiven vergraben waren und die nach der Wende in der großen Vernichtungsaktion nicht untergegangen waren, sind Vielen schon seit Jahren bekannt. Ihre Veröffentlichung ist aber nicht opportun. Offenbar gefällt es maßgebenden Leuten in den Redaktionen und Verlagen oder denen, die Macht über sie haben, Frau Merkel vor allen Angriffen zu schützen. Ob diese Leute selbst wissen, über wen sie da die Hand halten? Die Verflechtung mit dem DDR-Regime von Angela Dorothea Kasner, die mit ihrer ersten Ehe den Namen Merkel annahm und ihn nach Eingehung der zweiten Ehe behielt, hängt eng mit ihrem familiären Umfeld und ihren persönlichen und politischen Freunden zusammen, die fast ohne Ausnahme mit der Stasi verbandelt waren.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

    Hanfried Müller Erfahrungen Erinnerungen Gedanken Zur Geschichte von Kirche und Gesellschaft in Deutschland seit 1945 GNN Verlag ISBN 978-3-89819-314-6 © 2010 by GNN Gesellschaft für Nachrichtenerfassung und Nachrichtenverbrei- tung, Verlagsgesellschaft für Sachsen/Berlin mbH, Badeweg 1, D- 04435 Schkeuditz Alle Rechte vorbehalten Gesamtherstellung: GNN Schkeuditz 4 Noch kurz vor seinem Tode am 3. März 2009 war Hanfried Müller mit sei- ner »Autobiographie« befaßt, in der ein Kapitel deutscher Geschichte und Kirchengeschichte festgehalten werden sollte. Nicht um seine Person ging es ihm also und schon gar nicht um private Befindlichkeit, wohl aber um eine Geschichtsschreibung, die gesellschaftliche und kirchenpolitische Verhältnisse und Entwicklungen im Fokus persönlicher Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen widerspiegelt. Seine Aufzeichnungen sind ein Torso geblieben. Dennoch enthält bereits der publizierbare Text eine solche Fülle an grundsätzlicher historischer Einsicht und politischer Erkenntnis, daß seine Lektüre weit über den Blickwinkel subjektiver Wertungen hinausträgt. Von Hanfried Müller war, selbstredend, keine Retrospektive zu erwarten, der sich bürgerliches Herrschaftsbewußtsein und schon gar nicht deutsche Kleinbürgerlichkeit akkommodieren könnten. Schließlich verstieß er als Sohn aus »guter Gesellschaft« gegen die ehernen Prinzipien dieser Gesell- schaft; und schon zu seinen Lebzeiten ist ihm sein Klassenverrat niemals verziehen worden. Seine »Erinnerungen« zeichnen nach, warum und wie er und seine Frau Rosemarie Müller-Streisand einen Weg gegangen sind, der - ebenso außer- gewöhnlich wie konsequent - mitten in den Klassenkampf des Kalten Krieges führte, mithin also auch in die Auseinandersetzung mit einem Kir- chenverständnis, dem weitgehend die Signaturen einer konservativen Partei eigneten und das schon deshalb Müllers reformatorische Theologie als Zumutung und Provokation empfinden mußte. Die Aufzeichnungen enden 1973. Die bereits detailliert konzipierten Kapi- tel V.

    The Beacon “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD + WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL + NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE” (NRSV) BETHANY LUTHERAN CHURCH • HICKORY, NC AUGUST + 2018 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: There are three things I would like to address as part of my letter this month. The first is a quick update on the windows in the Narthex. The second matter has to do with the ongoing work of our ad hoc Long-term Planning Committee. I will address in that portion of this letter a way in which all of us can begin to contemplate ways of facilitating, supporting, and enabling both the ongoing and future ministries of Bethany Congregation and other ministries and organizations about which we are passionate. Finally, as we prepare to observe the Sunday of the Recognition of the Ministries of Women on Sunday, August 5, I want to share the story of a woman who has lived out her Baptismal faith in a profound way. Therefore, I want to share the story of a woman who serves to remind us that we are all called in the waters of Baptism, but our areas of service are different. In preparation for that Sunday of the Recognition of the Ministries of Women on Sunday August 5, the 11th Sunday After Pentecost, we can all look forward to hearing from our guest preacher for that Sunday who will be Deacon Susan Jackson. Deacon Jackson has just accepted a new call to serve St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Wilmington, NC as the Youth and Family Coordinator.

  • NORTHERN COUNTIES REVEALED AS OPIOID PRESCRIBING HOTSPOTS Submitted By: M&F Health Communications Ltd Tuesday, 29 September 2020
    NORTHERN COUNTIES REVEALED AS OPIOID PRESCRIBING HOTSPOTS Submitted by: M&F Health Communications Ltd Tuesday, 29 September 2020 * Experts fear potential for further increase in prescribing rates and addiction levels as COVID measures take their toll * New UK poll shows that 23% of people either started taking or increased substance use due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic * Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation and Amy Winehouse Foundation join forces on SNO BABIES film to support UK recovery London, UK, 29th September 2020 - Opioid prescribing* 'hotspots' revealed today as new 2019/20 data analysed for the Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation shows that prescriptions of these addictive painkillers were double the national average. These include areas in the North-East - County Durham, Cleveland, Tyne And Wear and Northumberland. The analysis uncovered a worrying reverse from previous declining rates despite an increase in government regulation. At a national level there was a 1% increase in opioid prescribing during the COVID-19 lockdown period (March to June 2020 vs the same period in 2019) across the UK. Some areas saw a more dramatic shift - in Greater London and Nottinghamshire for example, the lockdown period resulted in a 4% increase in opioid prescriptions. This has prompted experts to speculate that COVID-19 lockdown measures could increase overall prescription and general drug use, particularly in prescribing hotspots. New data from a UK poll also shows 23% of people either started taking or increased substance use (such as prescription drugs like as opioids, alcohol and illegal drugs such as cocaine) due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • AMY Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com AMY Discussion Guide Director: Asif Kapadia Year: 2015 Time: 128 min You might know this director from: Ali and Nino (2016) Senna (2010) Far North (2007) The Return (2006) The Warrior (2001) FILM SUMMARY If you live in the Western World and have access to the mainstream press in any capacity, you’ve most likely heard of Amy Winehouse. Regardless of your knowledge of her before spending two hours in her filmic company, you probably have some notion of her - in many cases, not the most squeaky clean perception. Whenever Amy made it into the headlines, it was generally some kind of self-damaging drama that dragged her there. So when asked by Universal Records to make a documentary on the life of this renowned international pop star, director Asif Kapadia felt compelled to challenge the widely accepted notion of Amy as a train wreck. Lucky for him, hours and hours of amateur footage was offered his way, portraying a younger, fresher, happier, and healthier Amy, a young woman as of yet untouched by the destructive claws of fame, money, and addiction. Over the course of 128 hypnotic minutes, Kapadia takes us on a chronological ride through Amy’s short-lived time on earth. By adopting this approach, he grasps his audience by the heartstrings with early images of a charming and very talented young woman. As time progresses and success tsunamis her way, the natural arch of her life, however fast-lived, gains a clearer context, as does her untimely death. Despite the cast of dubious relationships and her substance-abusing decisions, Amy maintained an incredible natural talent up until her death.

  • Kirche in Der DDR
    Kirche in der DDR Das Pfarrhaus in der DDR befand sich in einem »politisch-ideologischen Hochspannungsfeld«, wie Lothar de Maiziere einmal schrieb. Denn sein Selbstverständnis entstand aus der erzwungenen Defensive, aus dem Widerständigen seiner bloßen Existenz. Ob es wollte oder nicht, das Pfarrhaus bildete die Enklave einer Gegenkultur im atheistischen DDR-Staat. Es wurde, so Pfarrer Wilhelm Schlemmer, zum »Lebensraum zwischen Barrikaden«. Schon der Glaube an sich war ein Politikum, als Gegenentwurf zum Marxismus- Leninismus. Das materialistische Menschenbild bedurfte keiner Transzendenz. Heilserwartungen waren mit Marx als »Opium des Volkes« denunziert, der christliche Glaube erschien als Illusion, wenn nicht als reaktionäre Bewegung. Das Christentum predigte Nächstenliebe, sein Pendant und Ersatz wurde der politische Begriff der Solidarität. Berührungspunkte zwischen Sozialismus und Kirche wären durchaus vorhanden gewesen. Seit Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts gab es evangelische Bewegungen, die eine christliche Sozialethik mit politischer Stoßrichtung forcierten. Die Schweizer Theologen Hermann Kutter und Leonhard Ragaz hatten 1906 für einen religiösen Sozialismus plädiert, für ein »ganzes Christentum, das dessen sozialen Sinn ins Licht stellt«. Auch die evangelische Kirchenpartei Bund religiöser Sozialisten, 1926 gegründet, diskutierte eine Sozialutopie, die sich als Reich Gottes auf Erden in einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft erfüllen könnte. Der reformierte Schweizer Theologe Karl Barth, einer der Mitbegründer der Bekennenden
