By: Sid Verma Published on: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 The case against African sovereign bond issuance – from a moral and debt-servicing perspective – is too bearish but local FX depreciation represents a risk. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Emerging-market (EM) fixed-income investing in the 1970s and 80s centred on the old-school punt on political risk: buy sovereign debt for yield in countries where the ruler, more often than not, has a large statue of himself erected in the central square of the capital. The result: a foreign-credit boom across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), followed by a synchronized bust between the 90s and early-00s. As many as 30 SSA governments saddled with large-scale foreign debts, incurred by former kleptocratic rulers, received multilateral-backed debt relief for as much as $100 billion in total, eventually paving the way for the continents much-touted economic resurgence. By and large, this torturous debt history meant the mere mention of Eurobond issuance aroused political controversy. Though Ghana broke ranks in 2007, issuing a well-received $750 million 10-year deal, followed by Gabon that year, sovereign bond issuance was the exception rather than the norm. In October 2007, for example, Nigerias former finance minister Shamsuddeen Usman told this reporter the country would snub Eurobond issuance due to the stigma, despite pressure from the debt-management office for offshore issuance to diversify sources of financing. Whenever a government talks about issuing debt, Nigerians get scared, Usman explained. Fast-forward to 2014: Nigeria, Senegal, Zambia, Rwanda, Gabon and Namibia, sovereigns with mostly weak debt histories, have thrown caution to the wind, joining the ranks of international issuers, driven by a bid to access long-term dollar financing for infrastructure investments, diversify sovereign borrowing sources and establish benchmarks for corporates at a time of record global interest rates. According to Dealogic, 2013 was a record year for SSA ex-South Africa dollar bond issuance with six deals totalling $4.3 billion, compared with $1.7 billion the year before and $1.5 billion in 2011. This scale is significant, according to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), using its calculation of sovereign bond inflows at $5 billion in 2013, this is equivalent to 20% of aid to SSA and 12% of foreign direct investment inflows. Source: ODI The aggressive pricing of Eurobonds even with a turn in the global commodities cycle and jitters over China confirm foreign-investor confidence in the continents domestic growth engines. Technicals are at play too. Specialist funds have had no choice but to pick up African credits given the dearth of relatively high-yielding dollar-denominated EM sovereign paper. However, this flurry of issuance has sparked a backlash, with warnings over the moral hazard in financing governments, prone to corruption and economic mismanagement, and fears over debt-service capacity given rising aggregate sovereign debt burdens, the prospect tapering will trigger capital outflows from frontier economies and the risk local FX depreciation will increase foreign-debt servicing costs, dubbed the original sin risk. For bookruners, both the moral-hazard and debt-servicing fears represent a reputational risk for their businesses, given the recent history of protests against both investors seen to be demanding high rates of interests on developing-country bonds and bookrunners in their capacity as facilitators of debt issuance for sovereigns for which there are question marks over repayment-capacity. Michael Holman, the FTs former Africa editor, is unequivocal about the risks. He writes: ...when investors buy bonds sold by sleaze-ridden governments, it is surely as dubious as giving a bottle of whisky to a known alcoholic. It is not against the law. But at best it is unethical and immoral, and the giver is complicit in the consequences. Holman goes even further by arguing sovereign bond deals are a means of side-stepping the scrutiny and conditionality of multilateral lenders. The recent history of African debt issuance is littered with bad omens: with war-torn Cote dIvoire restructuring its debt in 2011 after defaulting on its $2.3 billion 2032 bonds; in 2012, Gabon delayed a coupon payment, for the second time, on its 2017 paper; while in 2011, the Seychelles defaulted on its $230 million bond launched in October 2008, which represented a hefty 40% of GDP at the time. Holmans opinion-piece elicited a critical response from some quarters, citing the didactic and "Afro-pessimistic" tone. @raziakkhan was a bit of an outdated, unsophisticated paternalistic sounding rant to have come from an ex-FT editor. Hasn't he read dambisa? Andrew Alli (@afalli) April 9, 2014 Is this a moralizing tale from a westerner with undue credit given to the positive changes in debt metrics and public-financial management? After all, bookrunners for African sovereign bonds are keen to stress sovereign issuance in recent years has taken place in countries with relatively transparent and sustainable borrowing programmes, and subject to credit-rating agency oversight to assess the institutional capacity to absorb and allocate capital. Whats more, Zambia's $750 million issuance in 2012, for example, was accompanied by reassurance the funds would be used to fund infrastructure projects, rather than for recurrent expenditure, meaning foreign markets, by and large, have not directly financed state largesse.

Tax Placement specifically explains the basic positions of Economic theorists to the subject of taxation, with no little personal commentary by the Author; as to the relevance of each position. The book then proceeds to examination of the tax process itself, and the relationship between taxation and economic performance. It details the lack of uniformity of taxation currently existent in the United State, because of it's splintering of tax jurisdiction between three levels of Government; and great variations of Government spending patterns through different political jurisdictions corresponding. He then highlights the great differences of tax benefit enjoyed by Citizens, due to the differing tax rates and expenditure patterns. The book goes on to explain the advantages possible by institution of a uniform system of taxation, and how such a system could be introduced legally.

Goran featured in front of the back four against the Italians and Glenn said he tried the stylish centre-half in that position due to the absence of Steffen Freund and Stephen Clemence.
"Goran is a terrific player, he just gets on with his job and does it economically," reflected Glenn. "He keeps the ball and is a calm influence on the pitch and the same in possession.
"We've look imbalanced in midfield because there is no Steffen Freund, no Stephen Clemence, meaning an overload on our back three or four, whatever we've played.
"We've looked at Goran in there to see if we can balance it out and, in many respects, it was good.
"When we got stretched as a team, not down to Goran, they started to make good movement and caused us problems. We can nullify that by dropping off deeper from our front two, which we did in the first 30 minutes and it helped us with the ball."
Glenn can take many positives from the performance, but he was not happy with the way Lazio's second goal was conceded.
"There were a lot of things to learn from that game. One thing I'm not happy about is the second goal, it was dreadful and we nearly did it again from a throw-in on the other side.
"So again you have to learn lessons and if anything like that happens again this season we'll not be doing our jobs as players and coaches - we can't afford to let that happen again."

1912 In The Wee Hours.(-4-short poems)
1912 in the wee hours.
And so we slept,
in the third
class berths,
deep in sweltering
stupors, dreaming
of America.
Never hearing
the scrape
that would
soon remove us.
But later
bloodcurdling screams,
and hopelessly
locked gates
woke us to swallow-
-the bitter salt,
of a poor man's truth,
washing over us
like tears
in Titanic ways.
Between The Last Dance And Your Smile.
Oh, how we danced
in the whirlwinds of love,
our bodies blending
in a blur of passion,
to the music of two
souls composed,
in a scale beyond
any soprano sighs,
or bass tones gravelled.
The staccato beat
of our hearts,
and the soft tinkle of
your whispers in my ear,
crescendo-ed to glorious heights,
as we swept through
loves many steps,
caught up in the
rapture of it all.
Two bands of gold
accompanied us,
bonding us far
beyond the lonely nights,
when we were just wallflowers,
drab specks in the
dark halls of despair.
Love was warm
melodies that
moved us,
in harmony
together as one,
but then fate cut
in and stole you,
mid-song pulled
from my arms,
leaving me stranded
amidst many other lovers,
dancing away in sweet bliss.
Sometimes sadness comes a calling,
then its eager arms embrace me,
on those days we used to hold dear,
how it tortures with cold fingers,
gripping my heart oh, so vacant,
of your prescence from its chambers.
I can always feeling it coming
as my shoulders gravitate,
to a posture filled with sorrow
over soul filled resignations,
that today, unlike two years ago,
will be void of your warm touch.
Only bittersweet clings to me,
like the faint whiffs of perfume,
captured in your old love letters,
boxed in dusty cardboard tombs.
And it brings an apathetic friend,
who stays with me awhile,
till I realize I don't care to,
seek your gravesite and leave flowers,
nothing there but trees and grass,
cold hard facts etched deep in granite,
where a multitude of sad souls,
waltz in sorrow evermore.
A Blue Lit Special.
Former Rockettes
faded beauty,
spins sad
drunken pirouettes
in the K-mart parking lot,
under sodium lights,
just past closing.

Araz Abishov
- July 11, 2016
( 44)
"Data Capture for DHIS 2" android application is a mobile client for DHIS 2 server instances. In general, client is an interface for some of the core DHIS 2 functionality. Application automatically downloads forms from DHIS 2 server and stores them on device. Client supports an offline workflow, where app and its data entry can work even outside network coverage, and the data is submitted when there is network coverage available again.
Currently app supports next DHIS 2 functionality:
- Aggregate data entry
- Users can modify their personal information and then submit it to DHIS 2 instance
Currently app supports next DHIS 2 functionality:
- Aggregate data entry
- Users can modify their personal information and then submit it to DHIS 2 instance
Pros: one-time sign-in, automatic syncing with the server, offline capability. Cons: no swiping in between sections of data sets (must use dropdown menu instead), saving returns user to app home screen. These seems to be easy fixes that would greatly improve usability.
Broken App is currently completely broken. Does not give org units or any other category combination according to user rights. The search in user org says "period" and does not return possible and correct user org unit. When loading data set it returns a blank screen. Tested on 2.23
Great app would you plz find a better place for save button? secondly enable swiping between forms. thx
Not connecting server It always return the warning message "try again"
Have not yet used it
TJ Bhutan Bravo!!! Great!
What's New
- Support of data set categories
- Updated UI to follow some material design guidelines
- Updated codebase to target latest android SDK version
- Other structural and internal changes
Please note
Support of data set categories implemented only for DHIS 2 trunk.

Tutorial level: basic HTML and CSS
User engagement is maybe the most important indicator of success for any WordPress news website or blog. Every one of us wants active users eager to spark the conversation online, not only providing comments on your content, but also help drive more visitors to your website.
Now, I'm sure your website looks amazing and your content is excellent, but what's the secret ingredient to transform visitors into 'ambassadors' in the online environment? Well, a strong call to action message well placed – as close as the desired 'trigger'- is a very good place to start.
In this article, we'll show you in five easy steps how to add buttons inside your post content to give your users the opportunity to engage and interact with your content.
There is no limit to what kind of content you can add inside a button, so feel free to get creative with your Call to action.
The first step is to select the text you want to convert into a button and select the type of button style from the 'shortcodes' dropdown:
Pick one of the six styles for your button:
Now you will see this code line in the visual editor:
The information you'll add between the quotation marks will define the style of your button. If the quotation marks are left without content, then the default values will be applied: the default color, the normal size, the default style, no target_blank and no URL.
As 'practice makes perfect', let's get started on creating our content. I need a large "Read more" button with a red color and make it open in a new window.
Fill out the quotations with your desired content:
1.color="" – The color section will only recognize a predefined color scheme. Choose the color name specified in this list for the button to detect the proper color:In order to set a red color we will add it like so: color="danger"
2. size="" – The size section supports the following sizes: mini, small, normal and large. To make it a large button just enter the code like this: size="large"
3. type="" – The type is set automatically by the style of button you choose from the shortcodes dropdown.
4. target="" – In the target section you set up the way you want the button link to behave. If your button will open the link in another tab of the browser just type _blank in this field: target="_blank"
5. link="" – The link section is where you should add your button destination URL. Example: link="https://mycustomlink.com"
Now you'll have a beautiful Call to action on your button.
This is an easy way to boost the user's engagement on your website. Colored and styled, the button will be your website's signature. Enjoy growing your website!

Food is only one part of Elizabeth Gilbert's voyage of self-indulgent self-discovery (the others being – duh! – spirituality and sex). Gilbert is played by Julia Roberts; after a divorce, she goes travelling for a year, starting in Italy with a life-changing encounter with, erm, carbs: who wouldn't feel happier chowing pizza and pasta in the sun?
In Nora Ephron's film, Amy Adams is Julie, pepping up her life with a self-imposed challenge: to cook every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year. Meanwhile Meryl Streep plays Julia, in flashbacks to her time in 1950s Paris. Julie & Julia is admittedly comfort viewing - self-fulfilment, foodie-style - but Streep and Adams are deliciously winning.
The winner: Julie & Julia

Hey man. Sorry, Emily, I keep forgetting you're a chick. I'm a little hazy about details these days. Can we have a word about the backstage scene? I've looked at the list of stuff in the dressing room and I'm not sure about the exercise bike. Maybe better for Mick? Ditto the Power Plate.
And about the 3 bottles Jack Daniels, the gram of coke, the 10 spliffs of Afghan blue - cd you substitute 2 sachets of decaff Lemon Balm Tea, and some Coconut HobNobs? That would be elegant.
And instead of the porn DVDs – I think you offered Schindler's Fist and Good Will Humping – could I have a box set of Dad's Army, Seasons 1-17? And instead of the leather sofa, can I have a Slumberland Supersoft with goose-down pillows? I like to have a little nap before Satisfaction, you know? Keith

Q. How drunk is 'too drunk' at a work do?
A. The fun-crushing truth is that work drinks still count towards your professional rep. So ask yourself, how drunk is too drunk for Monday morning at the office? I suggest staying one drink behind everybody else.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"This session, the student and I worked with one of her math programs and we spent most of the time working on that. We were doing angle and segment bisectors which the student understood."
"After last week's short session we had much more to work on this time, and were able to prepare for her weekly quiz of the material they have been learning. We once again focused on geometry where we went over several sheets of homework and classwork on parallelograms. I think she has them mostly down. We discussed at the end a few other shapes and formulas."
"The student has started working on volume and surface areas of cylindrical solids, rectangular/triangular prisms. She used the various formulas for perimeter, surface area, lateral area and base area and volume, the area of any regular polygon=1/2perimeterxthe apothem. The student also had time after reviewing the class notes and finishing the homework to look ahead at pyramidal prisms."
"We went over constructions as well as the exterior angle conjecture and the side angle conjecture. We also discussed her homework on possible triangle sides, determining longest side/largest angles in a triangle and reviewing how to determine angle values."
"In this session, we looked ahead in his geometry material to arc lengths and angles. The student was eager to look ahead and prepare himself for the next exam. The student grasped this new material very well, and was already doing practice problems after only having skimmed the material. He is clearly very bright. We will continue to try to strategize. I did not leave the student with any extra practice because he has not covered the material in class yet."
"We completed chapter review for exam the following day. We focused on the geometry application of different shapes (int angles, ext angles, etc.) as well as principles of shapes (rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram, etc.)"
"We reviewed right triangles and trigonometry, and solving right triangles. We solved chapter and homework problems. The student was attentive and quickly picked up on the material. The student was tasked with completing the remaining Chapter 7 problems, redoing blank homework assignments, and creating note cards for the chapter's theorems."
"The student and I covered properties of chords, inscribed angles and polygons. She had a good grasp on the concept. We worked through all of her homework assignment. I feel confident she will do well with this portion of her exam."
"The student is working on one of my favorite sections of geometry to teach, which is classifying quadrilaterals. My favorite review game is to play quadrilateral guess who. We only played one round, because she felt she needed to work on memorizing the properties a little bit more before she was really ready to play the game. She was going to get someone in her class to play with her. I did go over her classifying quadrilaterals chart and double checked it to make sure she had all of the properties listed correctly. We worked through a few problems from her workbook that she had not understood. I also gave her a more algebraic example of how she could apply the properties of quadrilaterals to solve problems."
"The student had a review sheet to work on over algebraic principles applied to geometry problems; specifically how to solve for a certain variable in an area formula. He is still awaiting his test result from the previous exam. So far, he feels good about the current class work and his knowledge in completing the work."
"The pupil is learning about the sine, cosine, and tangent trig functions. As usual, she overcame any difficulty she was having quickly. She is learning efficiently in our sessions, and I am sure she will excel on her future tests."
"We covered the second half of the student's study guide for his geometry exam. We covered concepts related to triangles, such as the triangle inequality theory and supplementary and complementary angles. We also spent time ensuring he was ready to take on radicals for the exam. For practice, I provided him an assortment of questions using different numbers and radicals so he could get comfortable performing the exercises."

The continued increase in the antimicrobial resistance of pathogens worldwide is of great clinical concern. In particular, health care–associated infections (HAIs) are associated with high levels of antimicrobial resistance. Health care–associated urogenital tract infections (HAUTIs) are among the most frequently occurring HAIs, with an estimated prevalence of 11–19.0% [1], [2], and [3]. HAUTIs can pose a serious threat to the health of urology patients in terms of morbidity and mortality. Over the years, only a few surveillance studies have been performed to collect HAUTI data. Ongoing surveillance studies on antimicrobial resistance, such as the EARS-Net study by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, do not specifically monitor urogenital tract infections or urology patients [1].
Therefore, a prevalence study of infections in urology patients was started in 2003 by the European Section of Infections in Urology (ESIU) and supported by the European Association of Urology (EAU) [4]. The study was first started as the Pan European Prevalence (PEP) study, was extended in 2004 to the Pan EuroAsian Prevalence (PEAP) study, and since 2005 has been performed annually on a worldwide basis as the Global Prevalence of Infections in Urology (GPIU) study [5] and [6].
The GPIU aim is to record surveillance data on antibiotic resistance, type of urogenital infections, risk factors, and data on antibiotic consumption, specifically in patients in urology departments with HAUTIs [7] and [8]. The primary aims of the study are to evaluate urology practice in terms of hospital infection control and antibiotic consumption practice [9], evaluate the frequency and circumstances of UTIs and surgical site infections in hospitalised urology patients, including the pathogens involved and their antimicrobial resistance.
Investigators register their data using a web-based application (http://gpiu.esiu.org) [5]. Each participating department can freely choose a single study day within several periods listed during November and December of each year. On the chosen study day, all patients present in the ward at 08:00 a.m. local time should be screened and included. The presence of UTIs and/or surgical site infections is registered according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions and should be documented and audited over the patients' full hospital course from admission to discharge (Fig. 1).
Study algorithm for patient inclusion.
In the GPIU annual studies so far, 856 urology units in 70 countries have participated, involving a total of 27 542 patients. The initial findings of the GPIU (formerly PEP and PEAP) studies showed that the HAUTI prevalence was 11% [3]. In the overall study, HAUTI prevalence was 9.4%, with 70.4% of those affected male and 29.6% female. The mean patient age was 59.9 ± 18.2 yr. The most frequent HAUTI forms were asymptomatic bacteriuria (29%), cystitis (26%), pyelonephritis (21%), and urosepsis (12%) [3].
The HAUTI bacterial spectrum has not changed throughout the study years. Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the four most frequent pathogens, causing more than 70% of cases, with E. coli the predominant pathogen [10]. Although there was no significant trend for antibiotic resistance over time, antibiotic resistance was generally high throughout the years. The only antibiotic tested for which the overall resistance rate was <10% was imipenem. For all other antibiotics the overall resistance rate was much higher, including so-called broad-spectrum antibiotics such as piperacillin/tazobactam (29%), ciprofloxacin (51%), and gentamicin (42%) [10]. In Europe, antibiotic resistance was significantly higher for ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and cefuroxime in Southern Europe compared to Northern Europe [10]. Most importantly, resistance is driven by antibiotic consumption. Therefore, antibiotic consumption was also evaluated. Fluoroquinolones were preferred in 26.6% of cases, followed by cephalosporins (23.3%), aminoglycosides (14.1%), penicillins (13.8%), and broad-spectrum antibiotics [8].
In addition to the main GPIU study, several side studies have also been performed, dealing with transurethral resection of the prostate, prostate biopsy, and urosepsis (SERPENS study).
The study on prostate biopsy in 2010 and 2011 included a total of 702 men from 84 GPIU participating centres worldwide, and showed that antibiotic prophylaxis was administered before biopsy in 98.2% of men, predominantly using a fluoroquinolone (92.5%). Outcome data were available for 521 men (74%): symptomatic UTI was seen in 27 men (5.2%), which was febrile in 18 cases (3.5%) and required hospitalisation in 16 cases (3.1%) [11]. However, multivariate analysis did not identify any patient subgroups at a significantly higher risk of infection after prostate biopsy [11].
The prospective SERPENS study on urosepsis was started in 2014 because the annual GPIU data revealed high rates of antibiotic resistance in urology patients with urosepsis [10], including 45% multidrug-resistant pathogens, and that the frequency of urosepsis increased from approximately 15% in 2003 to 25% in recent years [12].
The GPIU study also offers participating urology departments and urologists an instrument for quality control of HAIs and acknowledgment of active involvement in an ESIU/EAU infection control programme, with the possibility of gaining a certificate for infection control.
The GPIU study is currently the only study registering HAUTIs, especially in urology patients, in an ongoing surveillance protocol that can help to deliver data on adequate empirical antibiotic therapy in hospitalised urology patients according to guideline recommendations. The annual GPIU study will continue to be performed in November of each year. The SERPENS study on urosepsis intends to recruit 600 patients with urosepsis and has currently achieved approximately half of its recruitment plan.

Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

Meet the Borgia's, a powerful, immoral and scandalous family, symbol of the decadence of the Church in the 15th century, immortalised through the latest series produced by CANAL+. To promote the series, BETC brings out 4 prints where the flamboyant photographer David Lachapelle has succeeded in revealing the duality of the members of the BORGIA family: behind their angelic appearance, we discover that their innocent and beatified faces barely conceal the greatest vices.
It sure attracts attention and holds it for a while! Luv it!

Sometimes as the weather gets cold during the winter new friends like Miranda, who lives in Montana, wakes to a 10 F morning, and probably can't wait to turn up the heat under the pressure canner. Last night we were talking about a black bean soup and today after a night of sorting and soaking Miranda put up some great bean soup.
From Miranda: The big thing is to taste the broth and be sure the flavor suits you before putting it in the jar. Make the recipe your own! Enjoy
1 lb. bag of dried black beans
2 med. Onions, one halved and one finely diced.
4 carrots diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pablano pepper seeded and diced or any spicy pepper you like (optional)
2 ½ quarts of chicken stock
2 cups ham diced
2 tsp. ground cumin
3 tsp. kosher salt (adjust to taste)
1 ½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper
½ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tsp. Mexican Oregano
*Sort, and wash beans. Soak overnight in bowl with enough water to cover by 3 in.
*Drain, rinse and put in a pot, cover with cold water by 3 in. Add the onion cut in half. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer for 30 min.
*Prepare jars for canning
*In another pot combine chicken stock, spices and vegetables. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes until heated thru.
*Strain beans, discard liquid and onion. Strain stock, reserve vegetable and stock.
* In a hot pint jar fill ¼ full of beans, add ¼ cup vegetables and ham add stock leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles adjust level to 1 inch, wipe rim and add hot lid.
Pressure can pints for 75 minutes, quarts for 90 min. at 10 lbs. or on 11 on dial gauge.
Makes about 6-7 pints or 3-4 quarts.

I ordered this dress with the exact same colours (I'm assuming the dress in the photograph is the exact one I own right now) for my year 10 formal, and it was absolutely beautiful! A few loose threads and sequins here and there, and the bust was a bit big for me (but then again I have a small bust) but nothing that wasn't too big of a problem. I had gotten a lot of compliments on the night saying that I looked very pretty and that the dress was beautiful.
The dress unfortunately came a bit later than my set date, but that wasn't much of a problem.
Thank you, Jenjenhouse for making such a beautiful dress for me!

Skip to comments.As others mark World War One centenary, Germans prefer to forget
Posted on 03/20/2014 6:18:09 AM PDT by C19fan
A simple plaque marks the forsaken spot where the Red Baron was buried in central Berlin but hardly anyone stops to remember the flying ace shot down in 1918. For Germans, the Great War holds so little interest.
The centenary of the outbreak of World War One has caught Germany off guard, while Britain, France, the United States and others mark it with battlefield tours, television programs, exhibitions and plans for ceremonies on the day, in August.
Germans aren't sure how, or even if, they should commemorate a war that cost them 13 percent of their territory, all their colonies, huge reparations and 2.5 million lives. The government is under fire for its inactivity.
"Most Germans don't want to have anything to do with the militaristic past," said Stefan Scheybal, a mason who tends graves at the Invalids' cemetery where Manfred von Richthofen was buried, a plot of land now bisected by a busy cycle path.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
The most important war in modern history.
No one's asking what Austria's plans are?
One from which Europe never recovered.
Agreed. This war delivered the death blow to Western Civilization, which has been a terminal case ever since.
Even to this day we're dealing with the blowback from WW I and how the borders were redrawn afterward.
France and England's method of peace lasted barely 20 years. The peace of the "unsophisticated" Americans lasted over 60 years.
What would Austria celebrate? Going from the capital of Central Europe producing geniuses like Mahler, Klint, and Freud to a city that now serves more as a living museum living off the fumes of the past; think of Colonial Williamsburg writ large.
Ah yes, the Treaty of Versailles—punishment. That is always such a successful strategy, isn't it? (rhetorical)
Wow. Was just watching a movie about the Red Barron the other day. Very interesting chap, apparently. Still a mystery how he died.
I guess the Austrians live off the reputation of their delicious pastries.
IMHO, the real problem is that they'll succeed in sweeping it under the rug. Nobody gives a hoot about history anymore...but our modern culture is obsessed with Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians.
WW I was the beginning of the end of European culture. The genetic losses of 1914-45 can never be replaced. Migrants from Africa and the Mideast are forever transforming Europe.
We did the same to Russia, at the end of the Cold War, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
............................................George Santayana
It isn't about payback, it's about winning the war. By rebuilding and re-arming Germany after WW II, we helped turn them into a peaceful Parliamentary Republic (maybe too peaceful...now that we've shown them how to live at peace with their neighbors, I wouldn't mind seeing them show some fight against possible threats from Russia).
When you replace 18 million Jews with 20 million Muslims, expect mayhem to ensue.
In fairness, both Britain and France paid a heavy price in men and materials. America's level of sacrifice didn't even come close to matching theirs. No wonder they were angry, and their populations could not have brooked to lenient a treaty.
France had also gotten a rough deal out of the 1871 Treaty of Frankfurt, in which they lost Alscace-Lorraine, and their idea was to break Germany so it could never threaten France again. Understandable really, although as we know, things didn't work out that way. The allies might also have taken a much more punitive attitude towards Germany after WWII (remember that they completely disbanded the German armed forces after that war, which didn't happen after WWI), but they also faced the threat of Communism from the Soviet Union, so it was particularly important not to drive the Germans into the arms of the Soviets. The Germans of that period were predisposed towards extremist ideologies, and Communism was the other side of the coin to Nazism.
Killing 10,000 men a day, every day, for 4+ years will do that.
It curdles the marrow of my bones just reading that.
Probably the most touching ode to the calamity of that war, came from Lemmy, of Motorhead......
My husband and I visited Russia in 2008. We BOTH agreed that Russia had a LONG way to go to catch up with the West. They WANT it but but not very much. They are SO used to doing what they want with no consequences. Oh well. Live and learn.
Why would either Germany or Austria commemorate the beginning of their destruction?
Germany is being criticized here in the article, but Austria isn't.
I think Hungary probably came out the very worst of the bunch.
I do believe at the end of the Cold War we should have had a "Marshall Plan" for Russia to get them on their feet.
Would have paid huge dividends down the road, and I think even Reagan would have supported the idea. But Clinton and Albright wanted to rub the Russians' noses in it.
Now the Bear is back.
Baron von Richthofen is far better known in U.S. & Britain than in today's Germany. To the Allies, he was the dashing enemy ace of aces, and a worthy opponent celebrated even by his foes. He was also Snoopy's main adversary in comic & song. He is currently immortalized as a brand of pizza.
The Red Baron met his end when he chased a low flying British fighter plane over enemy lines (Australian). Bad move; every gun on the ground that could shoot was aimed at the brilliant scarlet triplane with Maltese crosses. A single machine gun bullet pierced his chest left to right & his plane pancaked into the ground.
The only remaining mystery is whether Richthofen was killed instantly or lived seconds longer to crash land his plane.
France and England's method of peace lasted barely 20 years.
Here's an appropriate song:
Thanks for the Memory--Charlie & His Orchestra (c. 1941)
Thanks for the memory
In every German's mind, when you broke the ties that bind
And dictated a peace called the Treaty of Versailles
How rotten that was!
Thanks for the memory
Of British aims devine, French Negroes on the Rhine,
The food blockade and misery throughout the German Reich
What an injustice that was!
Many's the time that you feasted
And many's the time that we fasted.
For you, it was swell while it lasted.
You did have fun, but harm was done.
So, thanks for the memory.
It gives us strength to fight
For freedom and for right.
It might upset you, England,
That the Germans know how to fight
And hurt you so much.
Also known as the golden BB.
Don't forget the Franco-Prussian War.
The Frogs were spoiling for a fight for over 50 years after they got the "Atomic Wedgie" from the Krauts and lost Alsace-Lorraine ...
Set the stage for WWI. Treaty of Versailles punitive provisions set the stage for WWII.
Goddamn Frogs ...
I'm increasingly beginning to see it that way.
I thought Von Richthofen had a huge mausoleum?
And so overwhelmed by the shadow of World War II. There was a time back in the 70s when I sought out WWI veterans to speak to. They were all old men back then, and only one really gave me satisfaction.
It's Bulgaria's that I want to know about!
Yep, look at any calamity, and usually the French planted the seeds......WWII, Vietnam, Rwanda....
Ah yes, the Treaty of Versaillespunishment. That is always such a successful strategy, isnt it? (rhetorical)
We did the same to Russia, at the end of the Cold War, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
That's funny. I don't recall a Versailles, and most certainly a Nuremberg, after the Cold War. If you ask me the Russians got away with it and a lot of the rulers today are identical to the ones back then.
I don't think Russia has paid anything for its crimes against humanity.
"The day not half over and ten thousand slain,"
And that's putting it mildly.
Opening day of The Somme (1916) - 20,000 dead by lunchtime.
So if you did make them "pay", what do you think that would accomplish?
Hmm. Maybe . . . but be careful what you wish for.
Would have paid huge dividends down the road, and I think even Reagan would have supported the idea. But Clinton and Albright wanted to rub the Russians noses in it.
And just when did they do this?
And yet their soldiers wore the jackboots and marched the goose-step.
I didn't say I wanted to do anything to them. I just said the bastards got off easy for everything they did to the rest of the world for over seventy years.
They still haven't come clean about Raoul Wallenberg or KAL 007 so far as I know. A "we're sorry" would be nice.
There is an excellent new book on the causes of WWI - "The Sleepwalkers" by Christopher Clark. Supposed to be the definitive account on the origins of the war.
Gave it to my uncle for Christmas. Can't wait to read it.
It's important to note that the course of the war had several important variables, which made all the difference in the world.
1. It was the last war of the monarchs. Under the brilliant leadership of Otto Von Bismarck, Germany had unified, and whereas before it was sneered at by Europe as a group of agrarian peasants, it had come together as a power in Europe.
This was not appreciated by the other powers, especially France, lead by the egotistical buffoon Napoleon III, who had been elected president, then arranged a coup so he would be declared Emperor. After foolishly challenging President Grant (and his Union Army) in Mexico, he decided to show the Germans who was boss.
With a little trickery, he was snookered into declaring war and invading Germany with an unprepared army, who met him with a prepared army and quickly deposed him. But then, against the advice of Bismarck, the German Emperor Wilhelm II was persuaded to take a piece of France as punishment, which enraged the French against the Germans.
2) Before the war, half of Europe was making treaties with each other; as was the other half, setting up two competing mutual defense pacts. Then everybody started building battleships like there was no tomorrow.
3) The US was set to be a neutral power, but it had a lot of connections with both Britain and Germany. But Britain had something Germany did not, an undersea cable to the US, which only conveyed the British point of view, as well as a lot of propaganda against the Germans.
This wasn't helped by German ignorance of the US, especially when they asked Mexico for an alliance against the US (The Zimmermann Telegram), which was intercepted by the British, who let the Americans know.
4) Last but not least was US president Woodrow Wilson, a charmingly progressive combination of ignorance and arrogance, self-importance and racism, and who was surrounded by a dense cabal of like minded Democrats.
Yup. The Ems Dispatch. Only the Frogs would declare war because they felt insulted.
It's my guess that whatever the Germans do, it will be too little, not enough or just wrong. :o)
You might be right.
However, there was no guarantee than the Russians would have WANTED Western help.
Also we do NOT know what their circumstances REALLY were as we NEVER, EVER got the truth (Pravda) from their news media...Pravda.
They WILL do things their own way. They always have...and it's my read that they always will.
You are right about Clinton and Aldim.
The Bear IS back but it won't be the same as it was in the Cold War. There is simply TOO much communication available and the Russian people REALLY want the "stuff" that we have in the West. The Russians CAN'T afford both a war and the "stuff."
That was my read on the Russians when my husband and I went there in 2008. Maybe it's different now.
