The United States Security Council passed a resolution on March 17 that authorizes the use of force to protect civilian populations in Libya. UNSC Resolution 1973 was drafted and presented at France’s initiative, together with the United Kingdom, Lebanon and the United States. Pursuant to the terms of the resolution, an international coalition seeks to establish inter alia a no-fly zone and necessary measures to protect Libyan civilians. Additionally, the resolution strengthens the sanctions adopted against the ruling regime, the scope of which can include the implementation of an arms embargo, the freezing of assets of Tripoli authorities, or the banning of flights by Libyan airlines. French Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Alain Juppé addressed the UN Security Council on March 17 in New York, advocating concrete action to protect Libyan civilians from their own government. Passed with ten votes in favour and five abstentions, the resolution recognises that the situation in Libya “continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security,” and “authorises Member States ... to take all necessary measures ... to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory.” Two days later, French President Nicolas Sarkozy brought together members of the League of Arab States, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, officials, and heads of state and government from the European Union, the United States and Canada for an international summit in Paris. The meeting aimed to ensure the application of the Security Council’s resolution and ending the violence against civilians in Libya. !"#$%&'())*&+#,-.&/0-&1-"2&34&/0-&56-%70&536-$8%&9$%$./6: Alain Juppé was appointed the new Minister of Foreign and European Affairs on February 27. Mr. Juppé formally assumed the post from Michelle Alliot-Marie during a handover ceremony on March 1. Mr. Juppé has served in a number of ministerial and political offices over the course of his career, most notably as Prime minister under president Jacques Chirac from 1995 to 1997. He has previous experience as Minister of Foreign Affairs, having occupied the post from 1993-1995. Most recently, he served as the Minister of Defense, a position he left to accept the new appointment. Since 1995, with a short interlude from 2004 to 2006, Minister Juppé has also been the mayor of Bordeaux, and will continue to occupy that position in conjunction with his new responsibilities. Mr. Juppé expressed his expectations for the future of French diplomacy during the handover ceremony, stating, “We’re going to have lots to do in terms of vigilance, Minister Juppé meeting with Prime Minister Lawrence readiness, initiating proposals, and imagination too, because Gonzi in Malta during the 5+5 Defence initiative I’d like French diplomacy to remain loyal to its tradition by not simply observing and commenting but also being ministerial meeting last December innovative and imaginative.” On a more personal note, he added, “I come here with a lot of enthusiasm, joy and confidence.” 2! Bonj(o)u(r) ART Dans l'intimité des frères Caillebotte, Peintre et photographe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gustave (1848-1894) and Martial (1853-1910), were children of Martial Caillebotte, an entrepreneur who made beds for the military and left a large fortune to his sons on his death in 1874. From that moment on, Gustave devoted himself to painting, while Martial dedicated himself to music. Gustave and Martial remained very close, having been marked by the death of their brother René in 1876 and their mother in 1878. The two brothers lived together and moved in the same circle of artists until Martial married in 1887. Gustave however remained a bachelor. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gustave and Martial Caillebotte shared a number of enthusiasms. They became expert philatelists and horticulturalists. Together they learned how to sail a yacht. Martial distinguished himself in all fields, for example winning several regattas in the sailing boats designed by Gustave. Gustave Caillebotte’s reputation for his talent as a painter and his role as patron of his Impressionist friends is well established. With delicate touches, his paintings evoke the gentle pace that characterised their lavish lifestyle, from Haussmann’s new Paris to family leisure pursuits. But Martial himself, composer, pianist and photographer, remained relatively unknown. A recent study of Martial’s photographic collection has revealed a great awareness of the subjects represented in the paintings of his brother Gustave: the views of Paris, the sailing boats, the gardens and the river banks!of the Seine.

  • Der Spiegel-Confirmation from the East by Brian Crozier 1993
    "Der Spiegel: Confirmation from the East" Counter Culture Contribution by Brian Crozier I WELCOME Sir James Goldsmith's offer of hospitality in the pages of COUNTER CULTURE to bring fresh news on a struggle in which we were both involved. On the attacking side was Herr Rudolf Augstein, publisher of the German news magazine, Der Spiegel; on the defending side was Jimmy. My own involvement was twofold: I provided him with the explosive information that drew fire from Augstein, and I co-ordinated a truly massive international research campaign that caused Augstein, nearly four years later, to call off his libel suit against Jimmy.1 History moves fast these days. The collapse of communism in the ex-Soviet Union and eastern Europe has loosened tongues and opened archives. The struggle I mentioned took place between January 1981 and October 1984. The past two years have brought revelations and confessions that further vindicate the line we took a decade ago. What did Jimmy Goldsmith say, in 1981, that roused Augstein to take legal action? The Media Committee of the House of Commons had invited Sir James to deliver an address on 'Subversion in the Media'. Having read a reference to the 'Spiegel affair' of 1962 in an interview with the late Franz Josef Strauss in his own news magazine of that period, NOW!, he wanted to know more. I was the interviewer. Today's readers, even in Germany, may not automatically react to the sight or sound of the' Spiegel affair', but in its day, this was a major political scandal, which seriously damaged the political career of Franz Josef Strauss, the then West German Defence Minister.

    SERBIA Jovanka Matić and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković porocilo.indb 327 20.5.2014 9:04:47 INTRODUCTION Serbia’s transition to democratic governance started in 2000. Reconstruction of the media system – aimed at developing free, independent and pluralistic media – was an important part of reform processes. After 13 years of democratisation eff orts, no one can argue that a new media system has not been put in place. Th e system is pluralistic; the media are predominantly in private ownership; the legal framework includes European democratic standards; broadcasting is regulated by bodies separated from executive state power; public service broadcasters have evolved from the former state-run radio and tel- evision company which acted as a pillar of the fallen autocratic regime. However, there is no public consensus that the changes have produced more positive than negative results. Th e media sector is liberalized but this has not brought a better-in- formed public. Media freedom has been expanded but it has endangered the concept of socially responsible journalism. Among about 1200 media outlets many have neither po- litical nor economic independence. Th e only industrial segments on the rise are the enter- tainment press and cable channels featuring reality shows and entertainment. Th e level of professionalism and reputation of journalists have been drastically reduced. Th e current media system suff ers from many weaknesses. Media legislation is incom- plete, inconsistent and outdated. Privatisation of state-owned media, stipulated as mandato- ry 10 years ago, is uncompleted. Th e media market is very poorly regulated resulting in dras- tically unequal conditions for state-owned and private media.

    Saint Joseph’s University, Summer 2011 Smiles, Support and … Snowflakes? Historic Celebration Marks Alumna Finds Success, RAs, Hawk Hosts and Red Shirts Record-Breaking Capital Campaign Persistence to Earn Degree Pays Off F ROMTHE I NTERIM P RESIDENT As alumni and friends of Saint Joseph’s University, you know that Hawk Hill is a unique and wonderful place. From my own experience — as a student, former chair of the Board of Trustees, and most recently, as senior vice president — this is something I share with you. While we continue our search for Saint Joseph’s next president, with the guidance of both our Jesuit community and the Board of Trustees, I am honored to serve the University as interim president. Thanks to the vision and leadership of Nicholas S. Rashford, S.J., our 25th president, and Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., our 26th, Saint Joseph’s has been on a trajectory of growth and excellence that has taken us to places we never dreamed were possible. Rightfully so, we are proud of all of our achievements, but we are also mindful that we are charged with moving Saint Joseph’s into the future surely and confidently. The University’s mission — which is steeped in our Catholic, Jesuit heritage — is too important to be approached in any other way. In an address to the leaders of American Jesuit colleges and universities when he was Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., affirmed: You are who your students become. Saint Joseph’s identity, then, is ultimately tied to the people our students become in the world, and the broad outline of their character reveals them to be leaders with high moral standards, whose ethics are grounded in and informed by a faith that serves justice.

  • The Frequency of Anglicisms in the German News
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the University of Rijeka UNIVERSITY OF RIJEKA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Doris Mesaroš THE FREQUENCY OF ANGLICISMS IN THE GERMAN NEWS MAGAZINE DER SPIEGEL Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the B.A. in English Language and Literature and German language and Literature at the University of Rijeka Supervisor: Dr. Branka Drljača Margić September 2015 ABSTRACT This study examined the frequency of anglicisms in the German news magazine Der Spiegel. The aim of the research, which was based on 25 articles from the year 2014/2015, was to determine in which category of news genre occurs the highest number of anglicisms and which are the most frequent types and word classes of anglicisms. At first a theoretical background, including the definition, the history, types, integration and usage of anglicisms was covered, followed by the research on the corpus of Spiegel online. In comparison with previous studies it could be seen how the number of anglicisms in Der Spiegel has changed through years and if some similar patterns could be noticed. The results of this study confirmed the conclusions of previous studies that the frequency of anglicisms showed a constant increase. The number of anglicisms per page, as well as their variety were the highest in this study, which indicated that new English terms constantly appear, especially in the computer technology, which was also the news genre with the highest number of anglicisms in this study.

Baptista © 2009 Gregory S. Baptista Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2009 ii The dissertation of Gregory S. Baptista was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S.

West III Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English Philip Jenkins Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the presentation of the Spanish Civil War in selected American periodicals. Understanding how war-related works functioned (aesthetically and rhetorically) requires a nuanced view of the circumstances of their production and an awareness of their immediate cultural context. I consider means of creation and publication to examine the complex ways in which the goals of truth-seeking and truth-shaping interacted—and were acted upon by the institutional dynamics of periodical production. By focusing on three specific periodicals that occupied different points along a line leading outward from the mainstream of American culture, I examine the ways in which certain pro- Loyalist writers and editors attempted to shape the truth of the Spanish war for American readers within the contexts and inherent restrictions of periodical publication. I argue that responses to the war in these publications are products of a range of cultural and institutional forces that go beyond the political affiliations or ideological stances of particular writers.
