As cooking times are fast (e.g. rice in 30-40 minutes, vegetables in 10-25 minutes, potatoes in 25-30 minutes), there is no need for the inconvenience of cooking while on the move. ■ The food can be left in the double-walled pans for a rapid change in location. Their special construction means that temperature drops at a rate of only 1ºC (1.8ºF) per hour (bacteria cannot survive) and is still more than 80ºC (1 76ºF) after 20 hours. ■ The pressure cooking system (biological cooking) uses the principle of evaporating a small quantity of water in a sealed pan. The steam valve remains open until only steam emerges from the valve. There are then only very small amounts of oxygen in the boiling pan which could enter into a harmful combination with the food being cooked.

    Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators 2009 Luxembourg report SGI 2009 | 2 Luxembourg report Executive summary During the last two decade’s rise in international financial markets, Luxembourg’s economy has grown more than the OECD average. In terms of GDP per capita, it has become the richest country in the world. This situation is not entirely the result of deliberate policy. Luxembourg has been constrained by the dictates of globalization and by the harmonization process within the European Union, but has nevertheless profited handsomely by creating a favorable environment for the establishment of foreign companies. Due to the country’s wealth, the government has often been tempted to try solving problems through increased spending on social programs. However, Luxembourg’s culture does not easily accept the loss of newly won rights. This makes it difficult for the government to return to a more moderate, or realistic, level of spending. More than most other industrial nations, Luxembourg benefits from a rejuvenating population, largely due to high rates of immigration. This phenomenon is even stronger within the economically active population, since many people work in Luxembourg but live across the border in France, Belgium or Germany. Approximately 41percent of wage-earners belong to this cross-border commuter category, and their number has steadily increased over the past decades. The social security system’s current equilibrium is dependent on growth in the number of members, and on their relative youth, which means the system will collapse if growth slows. In fact, studies have shown that in order to sustain the system an an annual growth rate of 4 percent of GDP and an annual job-growth rate of 2 percent must be maintained.

  • How Did Europe Become an American Turf?
    How did Europe become an American turf? Bertrand M. Roehner, University of Paris 6 (UPMC: University Pierre and Marie Curie) Ramstein Air Base, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (2014). 2 3 The United States has conducted nation-building operations since 1898 and does so in a uniquely American way. After defeating Spain in Cuba and routing their forces from the Philippines, the United States began nation- building efforts to establish democratic governments that were representa- tive of the populace. —Colonel Jayne A. Carson, Nation-building. The American way (April 2003) “We must contemplate an increase in the activity of the USIA [US Infor- mation Agency, created in 1953] and vastly increase exchange programs with the key population elements of the intelligentsia, the labor leaders and the newspaper leaders.” —Vice-President Richard Nixon, 366th National Security Council (22 May 1958) “If the proposed student and other groups which we are to organize in Latin America go out and fight for pro-American causes, we must avoid giving any over-emphasis to our policy of trying to keep Latin America as a safe preserve for US private enterprise and US private investment. We must rather go along with the sentiments of the people [even though] this may sound like promoting socialism.[...] We have been for some time promoting the development of a Common Market in Europe. Why could we not make a similar effort on behalf of a Common Market for Latin America?” —George Allen, head of the USIA, 366th National Security Council (22 May 1958) There is a strong family resemblance about the misdeeds, and if you have all the details of a thousand at your finger ends, it is odd if you can’t unravel the thousand and first.

His legacy to his successor Ursula von der Leyen is largely a heap of dust and ashes. Five years ago he came to power with a fanfare for the future. The European Union was to be given a new burst of vitality, become closer to its citizens, at last put an end to its constant preoccupation with itself, and work towards solving the real problems of our times. None of these good intentions have been transformed into reality, not even notionally. Instead, the situation has become worse – a whole lot worse. This is due not least to the fact that the United Kingdom is on the verge of leaving the Euro- pean Union.

John R. Allen, is GLOBSEC’s foremost contribution to debates about the future of the Alliance. Given the substantial changes within the global security environment, GLOBSEC has undertaken a year-long project, following its annual Spring conference and the July NATO Summit in Warsaw, to explore challenges faced by the Alliance in adapting to a very different strategic environment than that of any time since the end of the Cold War. The Initiative integrates policy expertise, institutional knowledge, intellectual rigour and industrial perspectives. It ultimately seeks to provide innovative and thoughtful solutions for the leaders of the Alliance to make NATO more a resilient, responsive and efficient anchor of transatlantic stability. The policy papers published within the GLOBSEC NATO Adaptation Initiative are authored by the Initiative’s Steering Committee members: General (Retd.) John R. Allen, Admiral (Retd.)

Small, historic townhouses and a mix of new and well-established businesses make up these side-by-side neighborhoods. Residents both new and old are passionate about maintaining pocket parks and patronizing independent merchants and restaurants. The districts’ busiest byways include the open-air South 9th Street Italian Market and the mini neighborhood of west-to-east-running South Street, which has a separate guide). Directly south of Old City and Society Hill, Queen Village consists of the blocks between Front and 6th Streets and Lombard Street to Washington Avenue. Just south of Washington West, Bella Vista, a traditionally Italian neighborhood that’s now ethnically mixed, includes 6th to 11th Streets and also stretches from South Street to Washington Avenue. QUEEN VILLAGE: Those coming from Center City can walk (about 25 minutes from City Hall), take a cab or car-share verice, rent an Indego bike or hop on SEPTA’s #12 bus at Broad and Locust Streets, which runs southeast toward 3rd and Pine Streets, just a block north of Queen Village. One standout neighborhood destination is Fabric Row along South Fourth Street between South and Christian streets.
