Germany. Onam Celebrations The devastating floods in 2018 naturally prompted a cancellation of Onam celebra- tions last year and the repeated floods and landslides leading to the death of around hundred people in north Kerala did dampen the Onam spirit this year as well. However, as we all know that life has to go on, we decided to have a modest Onam celebration this year, so that the message and fervour of this great festival does not get indundated because of the natural calamities. Without being extravagant and losing the universal character of Onam, the students at the Goethe-Zentrum in Trivandrum and Kochi celebrated the festival with songs, music and naturally with a feast on the ba- nana leaf.

    Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification Gunther M. Hega Department of Political Science Western Michigan University 1903 W. Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5346 E-mail: [email protected] 1. Draft -- October 22, 2003 Please do not quote without the author’s permission Paper to be presented at the Conference on “Europeanization and Integration” EU Center of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, October 24 – 25, 2003 Abstract: Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification This paper examines the changes of the German federal system and the role of the 16 states (Länder) in national politics and policy-making in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1990. In particular, the study focuses on the response of the German Federal Council (Bundesrat), the chamber of the national parliament which represents the Länder, to the processes of German unification and European integration in the last decade. The paper starts from the assumption that the Federal Council has been the chief beneficiary among the Federal Republic's political institutions of the trends toward "unitary federalism" at the domestic level and a "federal Europe" at the international level. Due to the evolution of cooperative federalism with its interlocking policies, the changes in the party system and coalition politics, and, in particular, the twin processes of German unification and European integration, the Bundesrat has gained additional, special powers by assuring the inclusion of the "subsidiarity principle" in both the German Constitution (the Basic Law) and the Maastricht Treaty on European Union. The amended Article 23 of the Basic Law and the Maastricht Treaty's Article 3b strengthen the participation of the Federal Council and the 16 German states in national and European policymaking.

  • Note to Media
    Note to media On 27 November 2012, in New Delhi, Rolex announced five Young Laureates of the 2012 Rolex Awards for Enterprise. These socially-conscious young pioneers, who are motivated to improve life in their own communities and the world beyond, will receive their Awards at a special ceremony at Rolex headquarters in Geneva on 29 May 2013. The Young Laureates are: • Karina Atkinson (Scotland) • Selene Biffi (Italy) • Sumit Dagar (India) • Arun Krishnamurthy (India) • Maritza Morales Casanova (Mexico) Rolex introduced awards for Young Laureates in 2009 to encourage the next generation of leaders. Under the structure of that programme the next awards were due in 2014. However, due to a five- fold increase in applications from young people under 30 for the longstanding Rolex Awards programme, the 2012 Jury was asked to select five Young Laureates. Rolex received a record number of 3,512 applications from 154 countries for the 2012 series. This press kit contains detailed backgrounders on each of the projects, which update the progress these young visionaries have made over the past six months since their names were made public. Through their dedication and exceptional leadership skills, all five are overcoming great odds to achieve their goals – from helping millions of blind people in India to participate more fully in the digital revolution, to opening up doors for the underprivileged in war-torn Afghanistan through a storytelling school. Photographs, films, and background information on the Young Laureates can be downloaded from the Press Room at rolexawards.com/press.

  • Informations Destinées Aux Médias
    Informations destinées aux médias Le 27 novembre 2012, Rolex a proclamé à New Delhi les noms de cinq Jeunes Lauréats des Prix Rolex 2012 à l’esprit d’entreprise. Ces jeunes pionniers, sensibles aux enjeux sociaux et désireux d’améliorer la vie de leurs semblables au sein de leur propre communauté et dans le reste du monde, recevront leur prix lors d’une cérémonie spéciale qui se déroulera le 29 mai 2013 au siège de Rolex, à Genève. Ces Jeunes Lauréats sont : • Karina Atkinson (Écosse) • Selene Biffi (Italie) • Sumit Dagar (Inde) • Arun Krishnamurthy (Inde) • Maritza Morales Casanova (Mexique) C’est en 2009 que Rolex a créé les prix pour Jeunes Lauréats, afin d’encourager la génération des dirigeants de demain. Selon le calendrier initial, ces prix auraient dû être attribués en 2014. Cependant, le nombre de candidatures soumises par des moins de 30 ans à l’édition 2012 du programme traditionnel des Prix Rolex s’étant avéré cinq fois plus élevé que jusqu’alors, le Jury a été prié de désigner aussi cinq Jeunes Lauréats. Rolex a reçu pour cette édition un nombre sans précédent de candidatures : 3512, provenant de 154 pays. Ce dossier de presse contient des fiches d’information détaillées sur chacun des projets, assorties d’une mise à jour sur les progrès réalisés par les Jeunes Lauréats au cours des six mois écoulés depuis que leurs noms ont été rendus publics. Par leur engagement et leurs qualités exceptionnelles de chef de file, ils surmontent tous des obstacles considérables pour atteindre leur but, qu’il s’agisse d’aider des millions d’aveugles en Inde à participer plus pleinement à la révolution numérique ou d’ouvrir de nouvelles voies, grâce à une école de conteurs, à des jeunes défavorisés dans un Afghanistan meurtri par la guerre.

  • To Read the Book Compilation of Inspiration That Has
    COMPILATION OF INSPIRATION Inspire India YouthCon 2019 02 & 03 February Coimbatore About Inspire India YouthCon 2019 The future belongs to those who dream and to those who believe in it. Aspiration is a force that drives one towards having a dream and builds the vision to achieve the dream. This dream comes true with the confluence of inspirations that ignites the spirit to action and this action leads to change. Y-Talks, an inspirational story series, has been an integral part of Yugam, a confluence of sports, technical and cultural fest that impacts more than 15,000 people every year has witnessed the presence of eminent personalities from all over India. Y-talks this year has faceted as Inspire India YouthCon 2019, to reach out to young minds across the nation for a learning culmination. Inspire India Youthcon is an arena where seekers aspire and icons inspire. The objective of the conclave is to convene people who have contributed to various fields such as Art, Technology, Social, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Sports, Politics, etc. and have a story to tell, that would emblazon on the minds of the youth, which in turn will instigate thinking. Curator’s note Shri Shankar Vanavarayar President, Kumaraguru Institutions Inspiration is a powerful word. We use it extensively and think of it at an existential level, whereas it is at a much higher sphere. Inspiration is what we know, what we can do and what we want to be! Inspiration is the confluence in the mind to not respond but to be the best or become the best! Inspiration is transporting the mind from an existential level into a sphere where the mind operates with extraordinary potential! Inspiration is the need to transcend from survival into success and into significance, eventually! It can be lived, received or given! Inspiration with purpose, values and ethics raises a life of meaning, joy for self, society and nature! Without inspiration life with just purpose and values can become mundane, mad or even damaging.
